Speaker 1: give a round of applause to Monica Virginia and.
Speaker 2: Day Welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, Thank you guys so much for joining. They're
Speaker 1: all very tall, by the way, it's always hard to
Speaker 1: tell on TV. I'm also very short, So thank you
Speaker 1: all so much for coming here. We appreciate it. We're
Speaker 1: gonna dive in with I think some show questions to
Speaker 1: kick things off, So we had people, you know, submit
Speaker 1: some questions, just ones we thought of. So I think
Speaker 1: the first one is, how are you guys able to
Speaker 1: keep this a secret for like an entire year?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: Do you want to jump in first? Modish Monica laugh first?
Speaker 1: So go ahead.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, for sure. It was very difficult. It was
Speaker 5: very difficult. I told all of my family, of course,
Speaker 5: because they need to know because I was just gone
Speaker 5: for like six weeks. I told like my really close
Speaker 5: friends about it, but it was tough because I'm a talker,
Speaker 5: so I was like biting my tongue and conversations a lot.
Speaker 1: I'm sure Virginia it was pretty easy for me. Oh okay.
Speaker 6: I told my dad I was going on a spiritual retreat.
Speaker 6: I was like, if I find love, I'll tell them.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was pretty easy.
Speaker 1: Nobody knew, so nobody know who was on cast.
Speaker 6: Well, some people here, I guess in Minneapolis. Kind of
Speaker 6: hurt a little bit, but for some reason, I didn't
Speaker 6: get like a lot of people asking me about it,
Speaker 6: So that's pretty easy, Dave.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say the same thing.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 7: I mean, it was tough, but when the cast got leaked,
Speaker 7: it was kind of awkward because people kind of knew,
Speaker 7: but you couldn't really talk about it. And then with
Speaker 7: my family, I'm sure everybody wants to know that story,
Speaker 7: but I mean my sister did have a tough time
Speaker 7: with it in the beginning, like trying to accept like
Speaker 7: why are you doing this? Like what you can't just
Speaker 7: like meet someone normally, And I was like, yeah, I can't.
Speaker 7: So anyway, yeah, it was it was weird for a year.
Speaker 7: But yeah, yeah, here we are, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Dave, let's just get it out of the way.
Speaker 1: You brought it up. Sure, did Netflix overly show the
Speaker 1: sister remarks, do you feel?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 7: I mean yeah, And I think I was actually thinking
Speaker 7: about this recently, Like Virginia you can tell on her face,
Speaker 7: She's like, I had that same conversation five thousand times,
Speaker 7: you know, in a week.
Speaker 3: And yeah, So I.
Speaker 7: Mean I answered the same question a lot, and I
Speaker 7: mean did I bring it up more than I should have? Probably,
Speaker 7: But to be fair, though, it was something that was
Speaker 7: weighing on my mind, you know, and it's pretty evident
Speaker 7: that it had a big impact on how I was
Speaker 7: thinking I was feeling. So yeah, I mean it's I
Speaker 7: think it's give and take, Like, yes, they asked it
Speaker 7: a lot, but then I also.
Speaker 3: Talked about a lot.
Speaker 1: I feel like every single comment on all of the
Speaker 1: social dave people are going in on you. That's kind
Speaker 1: of like, would your sister approve?
Speaker 8: This?
Speaker 1: Is your sister okay with this is?
Speaker 3: How is?
Speaker 1: How does she feel about this? And how are are
Speaker 1: you handling all of that?
Speaker 7: Yeah, she's coming around to it. She to be honest, guys,
Speaker 7: like she got bullied off of social media. She just
Speaker 7: could not handle it anymore.
Speaker 3: So I felt really bad.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's I mean, it's one of those things we
Speaker 7: get prior like pre training to deal with all this stuff.
Speaker 3: I can't swear all this stuff online and she doesn't.
Speaker 7: So I tried to give her a fore warning, and
Speaker 7: I think she didn't really realize how crazy it is.
Speaker 7: I don't think I did either, honestly, Like, going into it,
Speaker 7: I expected obviously some put some like pushback and negative comments,
Speaker 7: but not to this extent.
Speaker 2: The moment when you're like talking about your sister you're like,
Speaker 2: you're not given a tally of like how many times
Speaker 2: you bring up But then some producer in the background's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: we could run with this.
Speaker 3: Let's see.
Speaker 7: But I think, I mean, I think you see that
Speaker 7: throughout the show they kind of found me like, hey,
Speaker 7: this guy's not afraid to say things on camera, so
Speaker 7: they kind of I think they kind of used that,
Speaker 7: I don't want to say against me, but I was
Speaker 7: a little more open than a lot of other people
Speaker 7: were to talk about things.
Speaker 2: Has anybody uh just all that, like, what's your sister
Speaker 2: think like out in public?
Speaker 3: Or has about Like, No, it's great.
Speaker 7: I mean everybody, it's again if you if you sit
Speaker 7: in the weeds on social media and online, No, everybody
Speaker 7: in person has been so much nicer and just wants
Speaker 7: to They'll ask normal questions.
Speaker 3: Tu.
Speaker 1: Yeah, would you guys ever do another reality show? And
Speaker 1: or dating reality show? I'll go mona dating reality show?
Speaker 5: Absolutely not, Okay, okay, it was It was tough, and
Speaker 5: I think I learned what I needed to learn from
Speaker 5: a dating reality show. A competition reality show.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Which one's the dream competition show, the challenge favorite?
Speaker 5: Even if I get voted off, I don't know. First day,
Speaker 5: it's a win in my book. I love the challenge,
Speaker 5: So yes, virgin.
Speaker 6: I'm not interested in doing another reality TV show.
Speaker 1: I kind of learned my lesson.
Speaker 6: It's hard to when you're on a dating show because
Speaker 6: you're trying to be loyal to this person and you're
Speaker 6: trying to have like respect for your relationship but then
Speaker 6: also be very open and transparent about what's going on.
Speaker 1: So that was really hard to balance for me.
Speaker 6: So I'm not interested in doing it again, even though
Speaker 6: I really liked this experience. Specifically, I think that this,
Speaker 6: like dating behind closed doors, is like a really cool
Speaker 6: thing to do. I don't think other shows offer that
Speaker 6: same unique opportunity.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dave, I totally agree with that.
Speaker 7: Honestly, I feel like I said things that I never
Speaker 7: would have said in other situations or other.
Speaker 3: Like dating life. But I don't know.
Speaker 7: I mean, after I saw what I saw, kind of
Speaker 7: same as everybody else I dating, maybe not.
Speaker 3: I've heard a lot about the traders or traders how
Speaker 3: you say it.
Speaker 7: I've never said I don't watch reality TV. So some
Speaker 7: people were yelling at me about that too. They're like,
Speaker 7: why didn't you watch before you win? I was like
Speaker 7: I tried, but I just don't anyway, long story short,
Speaker 7: I maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2: Is it going to be weird because now people like
Speaker 2: know all these kind of like intimate details or stuff
Speaker 2: you would find out in like a third, four fifth day.
Speaker 2: Is it more difficult do you think going into like
Speaker 2: dating now because people they kind of have like the
Speaker 2: upper hand, or like maybe they're trying to like relate
Speaker 2: in a way where that it's not like genuine sure.
Speaker 3: Do you want to go this way? Okay?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I'll just say I have not really dated
Speaker 7: for the past year.
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's been such a weird.
Speaker 7: Year going through this whole process and having this hanging
Speaker 7: over our heads. It's been really weird to like kind
Speaker 7: of feel like I live a double life almost. I
Speaker 7: did go on like one two dates with a girl
Speaker 7: last year who told me we should just be friends.
Speaker 7: So it happens, I assume, not just women. So yeah, no,
Speaker 7: I mean I'm open to dating now. I think I
Speaker 7: think I'm getting in a good place, but still need
Speaker 7: to learn more about myself before.
Speaker 3: I do that.
Speaker 6: Virginia, Yeah, I haven't been dating. I'm not really interested
Speaker 6: in dating right now.
Speaker 1: I think there'll be a.
Speaker 5: Time for it.
Speaker 6: I'm just trying to come off of all the lessons
Speaker 6: that I learned over the last year, watching it all
Speaker 6: back and going through that emotions, but just like loving
Speaker 6: on myself a little bit more in this season.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Monica, Yeah, so I attempted to date a little bit.
Speaker 5: There's actually a rumor out there on the internet saying
Speaker 5: there's Monica I had a secret boyfriend, like right after filming,
Speaker 5: Like no, no, it was like probably five or six
Speaker 5: months after we stopped filming. I was like casually seeing
Speaker 5: somebody for like a month, and that was kind of it.
Speaker 5: And even that, I think it was a little too
Speaker 5: soon because this was a lot and I learned a
Speaker 5: lot about myself. So kind of like you said, Virginia,
Speaker 5: just sitting with yourself and really soaking in those lessons
Speaker 5: before I can put myself back out there.
Speaker 1: Okay, well we're gonna take a little break, but we're
Speaker 1: gonna come back. I have some questions, like you can
Speaker 1: start thinking about this, who would have been most physically
Speaker 1: your type before the Pods and some questions like that,
Speaker 1: we're gonna come We're going to come back and talk
Speaker 1: more to Dave Virginia and Monica from Love Is Blind
Speaker 1: on Katie w B. All right, thank you guys. We
Speaker 1: did say that during commercial just to remind one of
Speaker 1: the audience members ask some questions too. If you're comfortable
Speaker 1: with that, Does anyone have anything they would like to ask?
Speaker 1: Are we all nervous in the back? She's like, boom,
Speaker 1: I'm ready for it. Okay, let's do Do we have
Speaker 1: a microphone? This microphone? Could someone run this back to
Speaker 1: her so we can make sure her question is heard.
Speaker 7: Hey, if you guys can hear me, remind her to
Speaker 7: like reset if there's like a lot of break like that.
Speaker 1: How did your jobs feel about you taking time off
Speaker 1: work to do this?
Speaker 7: It was I mean, it was really hard to explain
Speaker 7: because you don't know if you're going to be gone
Speaker 7: for three days a week, two weeks, three weeks because
Speaker 7: I think after the pods and then the vacation, it's
Speaker 7: about three weeks till you get your phone back.
Speaker 3: So it was very.
Speaker 7: I at the time worked in an industry where I
Speaker 7: can help. Okay, I think they were open to that.
Speaker 1: Okay, good, yeah, my my job needed me.
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, I was kind of interested in exploring this and
Speaker 6: they had a.
Speaker 1: Team that needed me, so they couldn't let me go.
Speaker 6: I did actually put in my notice because they didn't
Speaker 6: approve it originally.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I was able to.
Speaker 5: Keep more than I need you okay, And I wasn't
Speaker 5: working a nine to five. I was helping my grandparents,
Speaker 5: so we figured out a solution for them, so I
Speaker 5: was able to go. But now I am working a
Speaker 5: normal nine to five.
Speaker 1: Okay, good, excellent, thank you. Yeah, Eddie, we have a
Speaker 1: question here. You want to hand that over please, We're
Speaker 1: going to come back after a pata a pata Okay.
Speaker 8: I don't know if you can speak too much on this,
Speaker 8: but mana kai, I know there's been some stuff coming
Speaker 8: out about Sarah and Joey. Can you speak to that
Speaker 8: at all?
Speaker 5: I will say that I've done interviews about this, so
Speaker 5: just you wait, oh wait, whoa.
Speaker 1: Do we know the media outlet? Should it be Katie
Speaker 1: w B. I'm just kidding. I think we probably another
Speaker 1: click one before we dive back in.
Speaker 8: Okay, So we've talked a lot about Dave's sister, but Monica,
Speaker 8: your relationship with your sister was also a really big
Speaker 8: part of the show, and I'm wondering how that has
Speaker 8: grown since your time on air.
Speaker 1: We're gonna come back to that. Okay, we have to
Speaker 1: talk in ten seconds. I apologize, so we'll come back
Speaker 1: to that. Okay. It's one O one point three KATIEWB
Speaker 1: with Fallon and Cult and joining us Monica, Virginia and
Speaker 1: Dave from Love Is Blind. Welcome back. Everybody, make a
Speaker 1: little nonoy. We do have a live audience, which is
Speaker 1: very uncomfortable for Colt and I. How do you guys
Speaker 1: feel about a live audience? By the way, it's good energy?
Speaker 1: Oh good, good. Okay, So before we played that song,
Speaker 1: I was curious after you all met up, who would
Speaker 1: have been most physically your type before the pods.
Speaker 5: Monica, Yeah, so my type is definitely like tall and burly.
Speaker 5: So Tom, you guys don't really see him a lot,
Speaker 5: but he was told my type and I've told him
Speaker 5: like Tom, come on, man, like, why don't we talking pots?
Speaker 5: But so Tom.
Speaker 6: Actually Devin, okay, yeah, I was. He's definitely my type,
Speaker 6: height and all of that. I kind of had a
Speaker 6: good understanding of what he looked like before him. But
Speaker 6: also Scott, who you guys didn't see Warley cute.
Speaker 1: Reaction.
Speaker 7: I know, well, not to make it weird. I would say, Virginia,
Speaker 7: I think she knows.
Speaker 1: That are okay.
Speaker 3: But I was told Virginia doesn't like white guys.
Speaker 1: Virginia, I am open to white guys. I haven't in
Speaker 1: the past usually, but I'm open. I actually saw Virginia
Speaker 1: doing a little Q and A on Instagram and she's like,
Speaker 1: I'm opening it up. Short kings, come at me, whoever
Speaker 1: you are. You know, let's try some different.
Speaker 6: Of course, especially Daniel, like such a husband right right,
Speaker 6: talked about sure, I'm.
Speaker 1: Married to a short king, very hot. He's got a
Speaker 1: great butt. So let's not overlook it. Okay, this these
Speaker 1: are something received on Instagram. It's the transition of seeing
Speaker 1: each other as awkward for you as it is for
Speaker 1: us to watch.
Speaker 5: Yes, obviously we all saw my reveal. It was unhinged.
Speaker 5: I understand.
Speaker 3: I was there.
Speaker 5: I understand I blacked out. Everyone's like, why were you
Speaker 5: bending down so much? I'm like, I don't know, I
Speaker 5: don't know.
Speaker 1: My body just like did it. So it was weird. Okay, yes,
Speaker 1: very weird. Okay.
Speaker 6: I said thank you a million times. So that was
Speaker 6: quite embarrassing to watch back. And I did not remember
Speaker 6: doing that. So I saw that all with you guys
Speaker 6: for the first time.
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, don't say it again.
Speaker 1: So, yes, very awkward, Dave.
Speaker 7: I honestly, I think it's more awkward for us than
Speaker 7: the viewers, honestly, Like there's cameras in the ceilings and
Speaker 7: the walls and everything, and then there's also like fifteen
Speaker 7: camera people following you as you're walking, you know, thirty
Speaker 7: yards at each other, trying to figure each other out,
Speaker 7: and it's it's I keep saying, that's like the most
Speaker 7: soberly blacked out I've ever been.
Speaker 1: And they don't count you down.
Speaker 6: They just open the door.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, like I get down. They don't know.
Speaker 2: So the adrenaline is pumping and it's like, I don't
Speaker 2: know what I'm gonna expect. Oh yeah, okay. So when
Speaker 2: a cast member posts on TikTok about like some drama
Speaker 2: like maybe it involves you or something, do they do
Speaker 2: they like reach out beforehand, like Hey, I'm gonna say this,
Speaker 2: or do you just like open TikTok you have a
Speaker 2: bunch of like tags, you go to it and you're like, uh,
Speaker 2: this is coming from left field.
Speaker 6: I don't think that's for me.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: If I don't know, Monica, what do you think?
Speaker 5: I so I don't follow people, Okay that I don't
Speaker 5: care to have in my life. Yeah, Like I don't
Speaker 5: really see it unless like friends and send it to me.
Speaker 5: But even that, it's like, that's your progative, man, like,
Speaker 5: go for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Date, I'm new to TikTok. I have no idea how
Speaker 7: to work it. Never thought I would get one, And
Speaker 7: then with all this, I was like, might as well,
Speaker 7: you know, but yeah, I mean there's some stuff thrown
Speaker 7: out there that I don't know.
Speaker 3: People are entitled to say their.
Speaker 7: Own tell their own stories, you know, tell people what
Speaker 7: they want to put out there.
Speaker 3: The way you do that, that's also up to you.
Speaker 7: But I don't think it's expected from any of us
Speaker 7: that you have to like give us a fore warning
Speaker 7: if you want to say what you want to say,
Speaker 7: say it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And it's a shared experience, so we all were
Speaker 6: a part of it. So I think it's kind of
Speaker 6: natural that like people will ask us and interviews about
Speaker 6: each other.
Speaker 1: So what's it like watching the theories about you on TikTok?
Speaker 1: Have there been some pretty wild ones? You've seen that
Speaker 1: stand out. I know you don't.
Speaker 4: You're new to me.
Speaker 7: I don't like, I don't scroll. I don't know what
Speaker 7: every time I open it. So, I mean, I've posted.
Speaker 3: Two videos now.
Speaker 7: They both have like over a million views each. Nine
Speaker 7: percent of the comments and everything is hate. Every time
Speaker 7: I open it, I'm like, I click it, try to
Speaker 7: get the notifications off, and then just close it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Monica, have you said anything crazy? Any crazy theories?
Speaker 5: I mean the theory about like a secret boyfriend, right,
Speaker 5: like pardon me, I wish man. Also people think that
Speaker 5: like my sister makes all my choices for me, like
Speaker 5: absolutely not.
Speaker 1: I know, damn damn. Yeah for sure.
Speaker 5: But nothing too crazy. Some of I mean they're funny.
Speaker 5: I find them, you know, comical.
Speaker 2: How do you know, because I feel like I would
Speaker 2: be going crazy. I'd be like duetting and like just
Speaker 2: sharing like you don't know anything about me, like going
Speaker 2: crazy on TikTok. How do you have like that restraint?
Speaker 2: Do they train you a little bit, like, dude, there's
Speaker 2: gonna be some crazy people saying some things. Avoid it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they do, tell us like production like tell us
Speaker 5: us kind of what to expect and part of me
Speaker 5: is like I want to go on and be like
Speaker 5: absolutely not like, but then that's kind of giving people
Speaker 5: what they want. How much do you want to put
Speaker 5: energy into it to keep it going and how much
Speaker 5: you just want to live your life?
Speaker 1: Virginia, I feel like you were portrayed in a very
Speaker 1: like quiet way. A lot of people are common like
Speaker 1: and then when the reunion hit they're like, oh damn,
Speaker 1: there's her voice. Okay like that. Do you feel like
Speaker 1: that was a fair representation, like you're a quiet person
Speaker 1: or do you feel like it was you know what
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 6: No, absolutely, I think I am multifaceted. I think that
Speaker 6: some of the scenes were men and don in the
Speaker 6: bed or on a couch. I do think I speak
Speaker 6: to my man a little bit differently at home and
Speaker 6: when we're in bed, and then at a reunion when
Speaker 6: we're in front of hundreds of people and I kind
Speaker 6: of don't like you so much. But yeah, throughout the season,
Speaker 6: I did push back on things. It just wasn't highlighted.
Speaker 6: So my big girl voice was also a part of filming,
Speaker 6: but it just wasn't.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask, like, being portrayed is quiet when
Speaker 2: you find the guy when it came to the reunion
Speaker 2: and you were speaking with conviction and you were able
Speaker 2: to like say what you wanted like a succinct. Wait,
Speaker 2: how did that feel in that moment? Like it felt great.
Speaker 6: I thought you were going to see more of her
Speaker 6: during the season, but it felt really great. And I
Speaker 6: didn't know if it was going to be on there
Speaker 6: because we filmed the reunion for six hours. Uh, it's
Speaker 6: cut down to about an hour.
Speaker 3: Jeez.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why everyone keeps comment how about those comments
Speaker 1: that got cut? I'm like, which comments? I won't know
Speaker 1: what comments got cut?
Speaker 2: So why don't they just put the whole thing out?
Speaker 2: That's crazy?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well six hours. I mean, let's be honest, we
Speaker 1: bene a full season, we probably would watch all six hours. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna take here's when you were to
Speaker 1: take a quick break, We're gonna come back. I think
Speaker 1: about something that was left out of the reunion that
Speaker 1: maybe you wish they would have left in. We'll cover that.
Speaker 5: Also.
Speaker 1: Another question we got on Instagram was how long did
Speaker 1: you know you were going to say no before you
Speaker 1: went down the aisle. I know, Dave, that does not
Speaker 1: work for you, but for Okay, so we're going to
Speaker 1: get into that when we come back on one on
Speaker 1: one point three KDWB. Hey, yay, all right now, Monica, Sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember the question at this point,
Speaker 1: but if you want to rate, ask it, okay.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So Monica, I just want to know more about
Speaker 8: how your relationship with your sister has maybe changed since earring,
Speaker 8: because I was definitely mad at her at first, and
Speaker 8: then I was like she saw something, Oh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent. Well I was livid with her.
Speaker 5: I know her obviously very well. She's very blunt and
Speaker 5: she doesn't necessarily word things eloquently. So after she said
Speaker 5: that on camera and me, and even after we had
Speaker 5: conversations where I was angry, I'm like Nicole, like come on,
Speaker 5: because like I wanted to be with this man, and
Speaker 5: I'm like, can you at least give him a chance.
Speaker 5: And she was very adamant. She's like, just just think
Speaker 5: about this more, Just think about this more. So now
Speaker 5: I feel like that moment that everybody saw that was
Speaker 5: like the catalyst to my sister and I like becoming
Speaker 5: closer and like putting up some boundaries where maybe they
Speaker 5: weren't there before and having conversations that we've never necessarily
Speaker 5: had before. So all in all, like it was, it
Speaker 5: was a good thing, but it was definitely hard to
Speaker 5: watch and having people like really rip her to shreds
Speaker 5: from like two minutes of time, that was really hard.
Speaker 5: But all in all, we're closer, so that's good. Over here.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I feel you didn't know you were getting your
Speaker 1: exercise in today. Great shirt by the way.
Speaker 2: Hello eyebasking. So do you, guys thirty.
Speaker 4: You think that love is really blind? Or is it
Speaker 4: rose colored glasses kind of? Is it more of like
Speaker 4: fantasy thing or do you truly believe that love is
Speaker 4: blind or could be blind?
Speaker 6: I think love is blind. I think marriage is something
Speaker 6: a little bit different. Side to align your life with
Speaker 6: is a big decision, But I think love is blind.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 7: I say that in the show. I say I think
Speaker 7: love is blind, but marriage isn't. I think that's one
Speaker 7: of my Now that we're offline, I can say this.
Speaker 1: I think like okay, one one point three Katie w
Speaker 1: B with Fallon and Cult Dave, I'll let you finish
Speaker 1: up your thought. We were between songs. We're still asking questions.
Speaker 1: We have a live audience today, which is very exciting.
Speaker 1: We have Virginia, Monica and Dave joining us from Love
Speaker 1: is Blind. Shout out to smash Park for sponsoring today.
Speaker 1: But Dave was answering the question of do you think
Speaker 1: love is blind? He's like, right now, I'm on the spot.
Speaker 3: Ye, I was gonna say, I was going to answer
Speaker 3: it offline.
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, Oh that's okay.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'll just I just need to tread lightly.
Speaker 1: I think, okay there.
Speaker 7: But I said, I think love is blind, but marriage isn't.
Speaker 7: And I think a lot of that comes from going
Speaker 7: through that. I mean you see each process like can
Speaker 7: you fall in love through a wall?
Speaker 3: Can you get engaged to that person? Does the physical work?
Speaker 7: Does including all your family and friends in this process work?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 7: Does everything line up? And it's really that timeline. I
Speaker 7: mean it's it's six weeks overall, right, And it's really
Speaker 7: that timeline. You really need all of that to match
Speaker 7: up in a six week timeframe. And I think, I
Speaker 7: mean the people that come out of it that are married,
Speaker 7: they have such strong relationships, especially after what we saw
Speaker 7: in Austin of all the former cast, it's very genuine
Speaker 7: and strong.
Speaker 3: It's really cool. So but it is it is tough
Speaker 3: because you need all that to align.
Speaker 1: Virginia Monica, how long before walking down the aisle did
Speaker 1: you know you were going to say no?
Speaker 5: I think I knew the night before. It was very emotional,
Speaker 5: very difficult, and there were a lot of gut feelings
Speaker 5: I had throughout filming that I pushed aside, but like
Speaker 5: when it was crunch time and I was really thinking
Speaker 5: about it, I also wasn't getting what I needed from Joey,
Speaker 5: So I think the night before and then I was
Speaker 5: hoping that something would happen at that day and it
Speaker 5: didn't sell.
Speaker 6: Okay, Yeah, I think the unraveling of our relationships started
Speaker 6: when we got back. We just learned more about each other,
Speaker 6: so over time it was just unraveling. Like I said,
Speaker 6: I cared for Devin a lot. Emotionally, I was there
Speaker 6: the morning of. I was still kind of going back
Speaker 6: and forth. We had conversations, so he was not blindsided.
Speaker 6: He knew where I stood, but emotionally I did want
Speaker 6: to say yes.
Speaker 3: That day.
Speaker 6: I wanted to give everybody the yes. I wanted to
Speaker 6: say yes, but I knew that it was the right
Speaker 6: decision for me.
Speaker 1: Virginia, did you talk to the other ladies about pre nups.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I mentioned it.
Speaker 6: They knew that that was what was going on with us,
Speaker 6: so yeah, I'm sure I mentioned it.
Speaker 1: Okay, So Monica, if you don't follow her on social media,
Speaker 1: she is into fairy porn like I am, and everyone's like,
Speaker 1: what's going on? Just you know this Akatar? So that's
Speaker 1: a series and I was like, oh my gosh, and
Speaker 1: it just really quick shout out when she said that
Speaker 1: when you were like, basically are into Tamlin and then
Speaker 1: you get to the next book and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: actually he's awful, and Reese is the one I should
Speaker 1: have been with. I related very much to that. So
Speaker 1: we'll talk ladies out there. They will totally get this. Sorry, Monica.
Speaker 1: They I had some questions through social asking if Joey
Speaker 1: hadn't said I love you, how did you feel a
Speaker 1: deep enough connection for an engagement and to get to
Speaker 1: the altar, because I think that was surprising to a
Speaker 1: lot of us. We didn't realize that the I love
Speaker 1: yous hadn't been shared.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, we so on on paper everything matched up.
Speaker 5: We were so similar with so many things in our conversations.
Speaker 5: It was like wild things that like we both did
Speaker 5: growing up and like so many similarities, so like our
Speaker 5: connection was really strong and how we communicated was really strong,
Speaker 5: like everything was matching up. We didn't say I love
Speaker 5: you those words. It was like I have a lot
Speaker 5: of love for you. And we had had a lot
Speaker 5: of conversations like checking in periodically like hey, it's really stressful,
Speaker 5: like if we want to do this on our own,
Speaker 5: like we can walk away, we can walk away. And
Speaker 5: his answer every time was nope, nope, I want to
Speaker 5: keep going. So that to me was like, you want
Speaker 5: to keep going with me, right, You're into me, right,
Speaker 5: And that wasn't ultimately the case why he wanted to
Speaker 5: keep going. So it was a very confusing time.
Speaker 1: Okay, if you're just turning on your radio. By the way,
Speaker 1: we do have Monica virgin yet Dave joining us from
Speaker 1: Love is Blind. People are curious some behind the scenes things.
Speaker 1: Do you get paid to do Love is Blind? And
Speaker 1: if so, is it more as you go along this series,
Speaker 1: because some people wonder do they stay in it longer
Speaker 1: because there's more money attached to it. The farther along
Speaker 1: you go.
Speaker 7: It's not a significant amount of money to where you
Speaker 7: would be incentivized to stay.
Speaker 1: Gotcha. Okay, Yeah, that's fair, that's fairy. That's a fair
Speaker 1: that's a fair answer. And they want to know, like
Speaker 1: for the weddings, do they actually have a reception set
Speaker 1: up with food and stuff, because like, what the heck
Speaker 1: if like it doesn't happen, what happens to all the
Speaker 1: food and everything? Clear it out for somebody that said no,
Speaker 1: they clear it out like I get some to go containers.
Speaker 1: No reception if you don't say it, receptionist closed off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I was going to ask you, Monica, how
Speaker 2: do you feel because I don't I don't know if
Speaker 2: it's warranted hate. But everyone's roasting Joey for like coming
Speaker 2: in on the longboard. What's your take on it?
Speaker 5: Yeah, So when we were wedding planning and we were
Speaker 5: talking with the wedding planner and she's like, make this
Speaker 5: your wedding, like this is your time, whatever you want
Speaker 5: to do, And Joey made a comment like, oh can
Speaker 5: I longboards down the aisle? And I laughed. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 5: could you imagine?
Speaker 1: Ha haha.
Speaker 5: I did not realize. He was furious and found out
Speaker 5: after the wedding that he actually did I annoyed.
Speaker 2: You swag nice.
Speaker 1: It was a lot. It was a lot. So we
Speaker 1: were talking about this before we went to break with
Speaker 1: the reunion filmed for six hours, had to be cut
Speaker 1: down to just a little over an hour and an
Speaker 1: Alex Warren performance. So what do you wish they had left?
Speaker 1: And that was edited out? Whoever wants to jump in first, can?
Speaker 5: I mean, I feel like my main points that I
Speaker 5: wanted to get across were in there, which I was
Speaker 5: really happy about. I feel like there was a lot
Speaker 5: more context that was cut out to different things, Like
Speaker 5: I know there's been comments swirling online that like I
Speaker 5: stopped talking to Joey and the family members and why
Speaker 5: and all of that. Like, there was a lot of
Speaker 5: context and I answered a lot of those questions. They
Speaker 5: were just cut out, So some of that stuff would
Speaker 5: have been nice. But I get it, like, you know,
Speaker 5: it's an hour long show.
Speaker 1: It is Virginia. I'm happy with what was on there.
Speaker 6: I did speak a little bit more about the feeling
Speaker 6: of love that we experience in the pods and then
Speaker 6: the act of love that we get to show each
Speaker 6: other afterwards, and me not feeling that act of love
Speaker 6: from Devin. I think that was important but didn't necessarily
Speaker 6: have to be on there.
Speaker 3: But yeah, Dave, for me, I mean, I.
Speaker 7: Just owned up to a lot of my stuff, and
Speaker 7: I feel like people saw that.
Speaker 3: Side of me.
Speaker 7: You know, I'm not too good to say when I'm
Speaker 7: wrong and when I've been wrong, and I thought it
Speaker 7: was fine. I mean I really just took a beating
Speaker 7: the first couple of weeks and yeah, and yeah, that
Speaker 7: was very an emotional, like in hard moment for me,
Speaker 7: but you know, I got through it. And you know,
Speaker 7: Lauren's so great that I was lucky that not lucky,
Speaker 7: but I'm thankful that she's just the way she is
Speaker 7: because she could lay into me if she wanted to,
Speaker 7: but she didn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt like I felt a sense of relief
Speaker 1: for you to be able to actually defend yourself a
Speaker 1: little bit or at least take ownership might be the
Speaker 1: right word for various things, because even if you're portrayed
Speaker 1: a certain way on a show, that doesn't mean you're
Speaker 1: not a human with feelings. And I'm sure that was very,
Speaker 1: very difficult for you and your family to watch and navigate,
Speaker 1: and no amount of preparation from Netflix can prepare for that.
Speaker 1: I'm sure, No, not at all.
Speaker 7: I mean, and I the thing is, it's crazy too,
Speaker 7: Like even after the reunion too, people are like, Oh,
Speaker 7: he's full of it, like he's just you know, trying
Speaker 7: to take away all the negative comments or trying to
Speaker 7: like save face whatever you want to say. But no,
Speaker 7: that was just very genuine, honest and I think you
Speaker 7: can see it on my face.
Speaker 3: At the reunion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're definitely one of the most accountable people. I
Speaker 2: would say. When I was watching, I was like, Okay, yeah, dude,
Speaker 2: slid guy, salid guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: A lot of people were definitely like not taking accountability
Speaker 1: on that recinion show. What did you Monica, I feel
Speaker 1: like you experienced that on that I think Virginia you
Speaker 1: experienced some of that. I was getting real frustrated with
Speaker 1: some of these these dodge and and things here. I
Speaker 1: did want to ask you as well. Everyone has dubbed
Speaker 1: this the most boring season of Love is Blind. If
Speaker 1: you're turning on your radio, we have Monica, Virginian Dave
Speaker 1: with us, and do you think it was actually boring
Speaker 1: or do you feel like you're just you were just
Speaker 1: more serious about the relationships than past seasons.
Speaker 3: Sure, you're kind of looking at me, hell go.
Speaker 7: You know, it's a that's an interesting question for me
Speaker 7: to answer because I felt like they kind kind of
Speaker 7: just used me for like a lot of entertainment purposes.
Speaker 1: I think you brought it, you brought it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, And I didn't try to do that, to
Speaker 7: be honest.
Speaker 3: And now I'm kind of losing my train of thought.
Speaker 3: But what was the question? Sorry?
Speaker 1: Do people call it that boring? Boring?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 7: So this is kind of my issue with the like
Speaker 7: where the show is going, because it's like, do we
Speaker 7: want people that actually really want to get married or
Speaker 7: do we want to focus on drama? Like do we
Speaker 7: want to focus on these people that are here for
Speaker 7: the right reasons and really want to find their person
Speaker 7: and go to the altars say yes and go through it?
Speaker 7: Or are we going to try to stir up drama
Speaker 7: from stuff that really isn't all that important? And I
Speaker 7: think that's something as you watch our season, I don't know,
Speaker 7: it's it's almost like they cared more about like can
Speaker 7: what can we throw out there about drama to get
Speaker 7: people riled up?
Speaker 1: Did they producers try to like to like ask you things,
Speaker 1: guide you certain directions to pradd a little drama.
Speaker 3: To be honest, we can't really touch on Yes.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, I respect that. I get that, Virginia.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about those comments?
Speaker 6: I think Taylor and Daniel's love story made it worth it. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I think it made the whole season worth it. I
Speaker 6: think they actually leaned away from drama a little bit
Speaker 6: on our season, which I appreciated. I think it was
Speaker 6: more about the love and us finding different connections. I
Speaker 6: also think like focusing on the prenup and new things
Speaker 6: that we're experiencing and talking about. I think it generated
Speaker 6: a good conversation about that, So I was happy with it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I would say our season wasn't all boring, but what
Speaker 5: they showed could be taken as boring.
Speaker 1: Well, I think that they spent like I think that
Speaker 1: one of the things is a lot of people are
Speaker 1: like why they do six episodes in the pods? Right?
Speaker 3: We agree?
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 5: Like you said, Dave, I think it's between like do
Speaker 5: you want it to be a dramatic show, which you
Speaker 5: want it to be like real connections And I think
Speaker 5: there's like a fine line to walk there. Absolutely, maybe
Speaker 5: this season production leaned a little more towards like real
Speaker 5: connection rather than the drama. So I think you can't
Speaker 5: please everyone. Some people like if some people won't.
Speaker 2: I feel it's just being like a Midwestern too. You're
Speaker 2: just kind of like chill and if there's a problem,
Speaker 2: you just work it out. You try to find like
Speaker 2: the best way to like navigate it. We're not for
Speaker 2: the most part some people you know out there, But yeah,
Speaker 2: I feel like overall it's just, you know, everybody's kind
Speaker 2: of on the same page about stuff.
Speaker 1: But twenty seconds, well, we want to thank our guests
Speaker 1: so much, So thank you so much to Monica Virginia
