00:00:00.000
And if a man of a certain caliber breaks up with a woman, he has to worry that the woman will say horrible things about him on social media, write a tell-all book, or in the most extreme cases, me too, him like Amber Heard and Johnny Depp.
00:00:16.860
I was watching a recap of the end of the latest season of The Bachelor.
00:00:23.700
This season, The Bachelor was Grant Ellis, a 6'5", former NBA player turned day trader with a net worth of over $4 million.
00:00:32.380
He is the quintessential Chad or Tyrone, a high-value man for sure.
00:00:37.300
And during the finale, Grant had to make a choice between two women, Latia or Juliana.
00:00:43.260
Grant ended up having to pick between two of them.
00:00:47.140
So we're going to first show a picture of Grant.
00:00:52.380
Also, guys, before I forget, if you want me to read your chat, go to theaudacitynetwork.com.
00:01:05.120
If you put in the Audacity Network, it'll come up.
00:01:10.540
And next week, I'm going to give a presentation where you can ask questions to me directly about how to be a YouTuber.
00:01:16.360
My editor is going to give also a presentation on how to do that.
00:01:21.820
And on top of that, Doug MPA, our monitor, is going to give a presentation on how to break into his industry.
00:01:35.020
Now, he was eliminated from Jen Tran's season of The Bachelorette.
00:01:57.140
Her biography is she is a vibrant, empathetic, and confident woman with a lot of love to give.
00:02:11.100
Someone who is honest, vulnerable, and family-oriented, just like Grant.
00:02:15.600
Latia loves sports and enjoys basketball, football, and water polo.
00:02:19.080
She loves riding horses and is a huge fan of the board game Clue.
00:02:23.540
Even though she feels playing is not her strongest suit, Latia is so ready to meet her other half
00:02:33.080
So this is her, you know, body-oddy, right?
0.90
00:02:39.820
Okay, so they had an immediate connection, right?
00:02:45.240
Now, this is the other girl he was picking against.
0.97
00:02:49.080
She is a bubbly, outgoing woman who isn't afraid to speak her mind and go after what
00:02:54.040
She comes from a big Italian family and aspires to be, to have a lasting love like her parents
00:03:00.540
They were high school sweethearts and she hopes to meet a man who has a good heart, strong
00:03:10.640
So we got, you know, who do you guys think is better looking?
00:03:15.420
Letia, who did you guys, who would you guys pick?
00:03:25.420
So the reason that Grant was considering Letia is she was ready to settle down and have
00:03:33.380
She got along with the family really well when they met and her intentions were clear the
00:03:38.360
So I'm going to show you guys, they had, they had immediate chemistry, immediate chemistry
00:03:48.100
Let me put on these headphones so I can, I can properly watch this with you guys.
00:04:06.080
So, on your journey, you were very open and honest and vulnerable.
00:04:12.940
And I wanted to start my journey with some vulnerability.
00:04:30.060
If you bring the skill, I'll bring the sparkle.
00:04:54.760
My parents met there, and they got married, and they had me.
00:05:01.020
And three months later, my dad passed away in a car accident.
00:05:09.080
I still feel his love and his presence in my life.
00:05:24.480
And mind you, these are the two front runners out of two, out of like 20 women.
1.00
00:05:30.520
Like, they bring in 20 hot women, and these are the top two.
1.00
00:05:37.940
Today's the first day in almost a decade that we've all been together since my parents split.
00:05:45.800
And to have an opinion from the people that love me the most is important.
00:05:50.860
So tell us, give us some of those memorable moments that you guys have created together.
00:05:59.060
So our first date in L.A. was when we made, like, a big connection.
00:06:03.700
But then we went to Madrid, which is big because you played basketball.
00:06:12.940
My most memorable time was the conversation that we had after that date in L.A., where she reaffirmed to me that her morals, really, and where she stands.
00:06:21.440
And when we were in Scotland, that's where we had our first talk about fate and what that meant to us.
00:06:26.800
And I was like, okay, she doesn't lead with her beauty.
0.99
00:06:42.240
You guys look so good together, I'll tell you that.
00:06:56.740
Seeing her and him together, I just sense the synergy.
00:07:10.000
If he is to be engaged with this woman, the most important thing for me is, what makes
00:07:16.500
And does she reciprocate the love feelings that he has for her?
00:07:20.780
Someone who really is in love should be able to answer those questions.
00:07:28.620
So I knew that I loved Grant when I saw him with my family.
00:07:34.600
He's so conscientious and, like, aware of everyone's needs.
00:07:46.360
And that's a trait that I want in a partner for my kids.
00:07:56.680
So when you leave the surrounding of The Bachelor and this is all faded away,
00:08:03.560
what will it look like to you, back at work, having to maybe look for a home?
00:08:16.840
So I think if we kind of can start in a neutral place where it's new for both of us
00:08:22.880
and we figure it out together, you know, my family is amazing and I love them.
00:08:35.460
But see, she keeps bringing up the kids, right?
00:08:41.300
And the reason is, Grant is a guy, I think he's early 30s.
00:08:45.760
She, here's the thing, if you're 31 as a woman, you really got to make a choice.
0.73
00:08:54.660
How did she pull that off in her early 30s, late 20s?
1.00
00:09:02.620
She's beautiful, but do you think she would be able to nag him into having kids when she wanted?
0.93
00:09:09.760
Her game plan was be as nice to him as possible and hope I get one or two.
00:09:19.220
And that's really what I would recommend that she do.
00:09:21.680
Look, this is a guy, it's going to be tough to replace him.
00:09:25.600
What I would do in your shoes is I would not bring that up at all.
00:09:33.160
And every time you're feeling anxious, I would just try to be nicer to him.
00:09:38.880
I would be like, look, I would just, I would go the route of learning to cook his favorite food, massage.
00:09:52.680
And if you do this for long enough, he'll probably come around if he's really looking for a wife.
00:09:59.760
Or you pull the plug if like, if this timeline, then you got to start going the desperate route.
00:10:05.220
And really, you're only going to get either a guy that's ready.
00:10:11.020
Maybe she goes, finds another Mormon guy who he's already thought all this through.
00:10:29.800
I would love for them to learn from you and from your family, I think.
00:10:43.680
We have experienced hard times with our family.
00:10:47.340
Dad having that history of drug abuse and Grant was struggling to find his happiness.
00:10:55.120
And so I saw that real down, dark place he was in.
00:10:59.100
This has been a joy for me to see him so happy.
00:11:03.680
I have to tell you, just with my time with him, I just understood how hard of a time he's had.
00:11:12.580
It's been lonelier for him than I, like, realized.
00:11:22.640
She is, the family loves her, but she just kept bringing that stuff up.
00:11:34.820
She told Grant that she wanted kids within two years, and this was a huge mistake.
00:11:39.520
Don't ever try to take away the man's ability to determine when he has kids and who he has them with.
00:11:48.400
Grant's first interaction in the finale was with Latia.
00:11:54.100
You know, modern women, we just can't take rejection.
1.00
00:12:00.040
Yes, he said he wanted to be with you and have kids with you, but it's TV.
00:12:06.140
And also, men have the right, just like women, to change their mind.
00:12:11.880
Latia made the mistake of thinking that Grant owed her something like most women do.
0.99
00:12:16.040
Grant owed her nothing, and it was his choice to make.
00:12:22.140
So this is, we're about to watch her take an L.
0.97
00:12:33.140
But I didn't tell you because I don't like to express it, you know?
00:12:36.320
And the other thing, too, is mentally she's just so young.
00:12:41.320
Like, the way she talks, it's not like a 31-year-old woman.
00:12:47.800
And when you get to 31, it's just not as, it's not as cute anymore, right?
00:12:53.040
And this happens a lot with the conservatives or religious folks.
00:12:56.960
They get really stunted because they tell them to delay relationships.
00:13:02.860
And so a woman is, it's not that abnormal for a woman to have, like, a crash-out breakup, right?
00:13:08.860
But you're supposed to have that at, like, 16 or 15, right?
00:13:15.700
But as adults, we just keep pushing this off, right, in our early 20s.
00:13:20.220
Now we're pushing off that crash-out to our 30s.
00:13:24.080
And we've had women, now, it's ideal, right, for women to never have a crash-out, I know.
00:13:30.480
But it's just like it's ideal for men to never simp, right?
00:13:34.800
Women have a tendency to just have one crash-out, right?
1.00
00:13:39.180
I'm just trying to be honest here, you know, all these other conservatives will try to virtue signal and say, we're so above that.
00:13:46.820
Look, but, like, you should have did that at 21.
00:13:49.700
Now, if you're 31, what you're supposed to bring to the table is maturity, like, real maturity, not this annoying maturity, like, I know what I want.
00:13:58.840
Like, you know what men want because you paid attention, right?
00:14:02.920
And on our one-on-one in Scotland, I knew that I loved you.
00:14:09.300
Hearing you talk about your childhood and how hard it was for you growing up and how alone you felt sometimes,
00:14:17.720
it made me want to give you a family where you never have to feel that way.
00:14:22.640
And it made me want to make a home where our kids will always know that they're loved and cherished.
00:14:30.660
I could see you as my husband, and it just felt complete for me.
00:14:38.820
I love you so much, and I feel so lucky to be loved by you.
00:14:44.160
You just have shown me how I want to be loved forever.
00:15:00.420
I've been looking for an emotional connection, and I feel like I have that with me.
00:15:08.700
You are one of the most amazing and beautiful women that I've ever met, and you deserve love.
00:15:19.320
Latia, I love you very much, and I want to give you everything that you deserve, but I'm not your person.
1.00
00:15:28.000
How a woman reacts in a breakup shows her true character, right?
0.82
00:15:46.140
I do love you, and I don't want you to feel like I haven't been open.
00:15:51.000
I haven't been honest, because I have been, and I'm truly sorry, and I hope you don't view me any differently, and I hope that I...
00:16:03.900
And they're like, now it's like the hood is coming out.
00:16:07.740
This reaction, guys, he is thinking in his head he is so happy that he picked the other woman.
00:16:17.360
What he's going to do is he's going to say, thank you, God.
00:16:20.320
Your chance of ever getting back together, if you really loved him, right?
00:16:24.560
Because if you really loved him, it's like you're going to want to get back with him.
00:16:27.620
But if you didn't actually love him, which she didn't, she just wanted something out of him.
00:16:37.560
Like all these women saying, I would never take him back.
1.00
00:16:46.880
But, like, when you crash out, now he just knows you're too much of a flight risk.
00:17:13.780
You're a bad person because you didn't pick me.
00:17:15.800
And if she really loved him, she would want him to be happy.
00:17:35.480
I'm just trying to figure out what best suits me.
00:17:47.420
And I would have a lot of questions if I were her.
00:17:54.740
Who hasn't said things at some point that they didn't really mean?
00:18:00.200
You're telling me in your 31 years of life you've never let a guy on ever?
00:18:23.360
The things that you've said to me all along the way make this decision that you've made
00:18:44.720
Like, I didn't hear that voice the whole season.
00:18:52.560
Men will just, like, they don't want to argue and they just say, you're right.
00:19:00.480
If you're fighting with your ex-girlfriend, your ex-wife, and you just say, you're right.
0.64
00:19:09.740
Do you know how much you have to push a man to crash out?
00:19:14.720
When I see a guy crash out, like, when I see...
0.96
00:19:17.680
I hate to say this, but when I see those guys, like, shoot their families, right?
0.90
00:19:27.760
But, like, what did you do to make him crash out so hard?
00:19:31.860
Like, when they're, like, normal men and they just...
00:19:36.220
You know, respectfully, not all, not all, not all.
00:20:01.000
But it came down to the final day where I had to make a decision.
00:20:04.720
And I think that the situation is very awkward and difficult.
00:20:16.360
I just want to be so clear that I'm confused and I'm sad and I'm mad.
00:20:37.960
I think she's just mad she didn't get what she wanted.
00:20:40.760
What's interesting is this franchise is known for failed relationships, right?
00:20:44.760
Like, they literally, like, they never stay together.
00:20:50.080
And I was curious because there was a couple episodes.
00:20:54.940
I remember there was one guy a couple seasons ago who got with, like, his seventh choice, right?
00:21:00.560
And I googled how many of the men chose second.
00:21:06.260
Like, broke up with the first place girl and then went back to the second place girl.
00:21:13.060
Actually, two out of three, they're still with her to this day after, like, a decade and they have kids with them.
00:21:18.940
The, like, staying together rate of The Bachelor is, like, one for 20.
00:21:25.700
But the staying together rate of the men that picked their second choice in this franchise is two out of three.
00:21:33.740
So, this is the type of woman that handles a breakup badly and that any man that saw this would avoid her like the plague.
00:21:40.880
A whole different accent came out of this girl when she got upset.
00:21:44.660
Now, let's contrast this with the rejection of another season of The Bachelor.
00:21:49.960
He rejects a woman and look at how much better she handles the rejection.
0.81
00:21:57.560
And he ended up dumping his first pick, getting back with her, and they have kids today.
00:22:36.760
I will say, over the years, the women get uglier and uglier.
1.00
00:22:55.840
See, that would make you think about it too, wouldn't it, guys?
00:22:59.000
Every time his first choice starts acting up, he's getting a flashback to this.
00:23:06.900
Who wants to see him tell his first choice for fun?
00:23:16.760
The studio audience is still not sure how to digest what.
00:23:20.200
I've decided to call off the engagement and break up.
00:23:44.000
You know that I've been struggling a little bit.
00:23:46.080
And I think over the last couple times we've been hanging out, I've been really trying to
00:23:51.880
Trying to just grasp this whole thing, you know?
00:23:54.920
And the reality of it is that, you know, being with you, although it's been everything
00:24:07.820
And I think for me, the more I hung out with you, the more I felt like I was losing the possibility
00:24:29.400
And now he's about to realize, yep, made the right choice.
00:24:37.300
And I know that this is like, this is obviously a shock for you.
00:24:46.240
We just did the side by side of the breakups, right?
00:24:54.360
And she was like, are you fucking kidding me?
0.98
00:24:56.740
Now, there's even more clarity in his decision.
0.97
00:25:00.100
And I know that it's, you always said, you know, guard your heart, figure out where your
00:25:04.860
And I know that the last week's been really tough for you.
00:25:14.920
What was this when you had your decision with her?
00:25:17.880
When I spoke to her, I just realized that there was all that feeling there.
00:25:29.300
Lauren, let's see them get back together for fun.
00:25:50.020
I'm ready to face this life with you and all that comes with it.
00:25:58.240
Because I want to show you that I should have done this a long time ago.
00:26:01.080
So Lauren, Elizabeth Burnham, will you marry me?
00:26:06.960
I'm sorry I'm torturing you with reality TV today.
