Hey, everyone, welcome back to bet your Happy Hour. I'm and we are back with part two with Grant and Juliana a happy couple. Let's get into it.

Were there any parts or like conversations, little date moments that you guys had that you wish were shown that weren't.

I don't know.

I mean I think I think the conversations that we had in private, we we would keep them that way, you know, because it's like that's something throughout the show you're so much is shown and some of the things, some of the moments that you have behind closed doors, you want that to be like between you guys totally something like and we realize we're same, same, but we're different, Like we really have a lot we're different, and it's a really good balance that we have.

Yeah, Juliana yous told Grant at the beginning of the season, You're like, don't take me on what I want till later in the season, which was just a crazy move, but do you and it worked, It worked and it worked for you. But looking back on your experience, now, would you have done would you still do that?

I definitely think so.

I mean, I just know myself so well that if I had had the time that we had in Scotland any earlier, I don't know that I would have been able to like trust him with the information that I gave him, you know. And that's just because I keep my cards close to my chest and I have such a close knit like friends and family. I don't like get let a lot of people see those sides of me, and I'm just nervous about it, you know, and I protect my heart so aggressively that there's just no shot that I would have been able to have those conversations with you. I mean, Madrid would have been nice because I would have been like, Okay, I can breathe, but it was okay, I made it through.

Yeah, it's funny because when you said that, it was so shocking to us and just very interesting because we've never had someone tell.

Us that they did that before.

And we had Charity and Dotten on the podcast but a week ago and we were asked them their thoughts on that, especially from Charity's perspective being a lead, and she was like, the later one on one dates are like better essentially, and Dowton She's like, Dowton had two much later one on one dates and She's like coming into those one on one dates with a foundation already to grow on, versus like spending them getting to know each other. Is so she's like if she asked for that and like it ended up working out, She's like, that is like ideal.

Yeah, I would have been to a if I never got to one on one you just sent me home and then we never got that chance.

But that's not how it happens.

What's the first thing. What's the first thing you guys are gonna do being out in the open now, like restaurant clog? What do you doing to do?

We're gonna go and we're gonna go to a nice Italian restaurant.

We're gonna go to Olivia's Bistro where we had Especial Martinez at my hometown.

We're gonna get some mushroom tagliatel.

And show I hate I hate mushroom pasta.

You don't like mushrooms.

I don't mind mushrooms. I don't like mushroom pasta. But keep going.

Wait.

Something that's really funny is Grant is like so obsessed with me that he does anything that I do, and I like mushrooms and he hated mushrooms, and now he's like, oh I.

Could I could think.

Eat mushrooms.

Now you're merging into one person. Next thing, you know, Juliana has got glasses, Grant has long hair.

I have glasses.

I had them first.

Oh you Juliana. Obviously we're not at women. Tell all, assuming you watched, do you have any thoughts on it?

Uh, it's kind of hard because I think that I don't think anyone deserves to feel like be.

Littled or let you know, minimize their feelings.

I think everyone's feelings are valid, and everyone's perspective is.

Their own reality.

But I feel really proud of the girls, you know, for speaking their mind and trying to have conversations.

Whether they were received or not.

You know, they attempted that and they did the best that they could. You know, I don't like to see digs by anyone, from anyone to anyone, especially when we're all.

In such a situation.

That's like, I don't know, you're you're open to negative public opinion anyways, So it's like I would rather all be united and try to get through this in a positive way, but to each their own I guess, yeah, But I feel really proud. They all looked so amazing. I was so happy to have a week off of like watching myself on the TV. It was so fun and I enjoyed a Monday.

And yeah, so who.

Are you closest with from your season?

Ali, Joe, Vicky and Prisa.

Thank you praise. She came in on the pink Oh oh wow, Okay, so she went home. She went home pretty early.

Right, Yeah, I think be her. Joe just like clicked right away.

You know, if I met them in the outside world, other than in that situation, I would have gravitated towards them naturally.

So nice.

Do you have any hopes for your friends being set up with Grant's friends in Paradise?

Yeah, you guys, see, I thought about that.

I think, you know, if if they all go, I think that they'll crush it.

I think that they are ten out of ten girls and their personality is amazing. They've all got rock and bodies and that helps when you're in bikinis. So I think any man would be lucky.

To have them.

Yeah. Yeah, like give us like try to like name someone Grant from like your season when you were on Gen season, and then girls from your season.

I think that.

Uh, I don't know.

I don't really know Jen's meant that.

Well, there's a couple I think. I think some of the people that I'm close to, you know, Jeremy Spencer, you know, I think Ali Joe would be really good with either those or like maybe maybe Sam m goes down there and maybe that's that's something they could do, you know, and that's a chance for like Ally Joe is a chance for some redemption in there and to show you know, that's a change for it. That's a chance for like them to really show their their relationship. I think, you know, if they click, you know, I know Jonathan's I think him and Alex, I think that's a really cool uh connection. And I'm excited to see my boy king what he does.

You know.

He's always a good time. So I don't know how he's going to handle it, but I think that, you know, I think he just stay true to himself and and be him, and I think he's gonna be great.

So I worry about yeah, because you never don't with him, like he's he's either going all the way or he's who knows, he's going home. Because I just worry that he's like jinxing it. You know, he's always.

Posting and he looks like the one thing I will say is that he's extremely loyal, Like he's a loyal he's a loyal guy like which I say that.

When we had him on and he was talking about you, he was like, Grant is my I'm like, broach, but yeah, he's writing hard for you.

He is very likable.

Does Ariana Grande follow you on Instagram?

But it like happened just the other day and my soul left my body. I was freaking out. I'm still freaking out. I can't believe it. Yes, that's insane.

Did you like is theybody?

Don't know what to do?

I just like I didn't want to like overly like fangirl, but I like fully like forreaked out.

I was jumping around us screaming. It was just I don't know, I don't know how. I don't know how that happened. Did we know that she's a Bapsloor fan, that she watches the show?

I mean maybe she just watched the season.

Oh my gosh, Glinda follows you.

That's so cool? What even is that? How is that even a life?

I can't even believe.

That that is crazy, that's that's very exciting, very yeah.

I think you should messagers just be like hm hmm, yeah. I don't know. That's hard because what are you saying.

You could just be like, so, it was so excited to see you followed me. I'm a huge fan heart.

I don't know.

That's that's not bad, that's actually nice.

Hi, welcome and you're amazing.

I love you and.

I love you and let's best friend.

Please never follow me, please, because that's going to be really tough on me mentally. I don't know if I'll be able to deal with that. Okay, something that you'll you'll you're going to get asked a million time, million times, we will be the first to do it. Any like ideas about a future wedding where it would be, how do you picture it.

Italy, Italy somewhere you know, Yeah, definitely, I that would be It would be fun.

I don't know. I mean, we have so many.

People between the two of our families and friends, but I think something maybe a little bit more intimate, especially because our relationship was so broadcasted, it'd be nice to just feel like we're in a safe space with our people that have really supported us both privately throughout this whole thing.

A good party. I definitely want somebody to come in there with the saxophone.

And yeah, I don't think wedding small wedding maybe.

I mean, I don't know.

It's really it's up to it's up to us. It's up to us. But I think that's a nice decision. But if if she would want like a small wedding, a big wedding, I'm okay. You know, like I think that the more intimate people that we really know and trust and care about and love and you know, because you could feel that in the atmosphere, and I think that's what we want at our wedding. I think that's what we're gonna do.

Yeah, I just want to be feeling like everyone in the room, like just surrounded by love, you know, and have an excitement.

So the more the merrier.

But also it's really like it it's it has they have to be close to our heart.

M hmm. Are you guys going to have an engagement party? Do you think?

Yeah?

We always we love a good party.

Definitely, we're gonna probably have to do something something bigger because not everybody's gonna be able to come daily. Yeah.

Yeah, we an engagement parties fun. I was I was always like whatever, and then Serena's parents threw us an engagement party and it was it was really nice.

It was really fun. Yeah, especially just because the engagement was so unique and unusual, right like you, It was a secret for months and then you tell people and you know, you were on TV and it's a hectic time of life. So it ended up being a nice way to like bring everyone together and celebrate something that was really just between us.

For so long.

We had a few friends that like passed on.

I like that, Grant. We have seen and heard a lot about your relationship with your father from gen season too now, and it's just been so amazing seeing him be there throughout this season, supporting you and giving you advice. How has sharing this experience with him been for you and your relationship?

Yeah, I think that, you know, like I said, and the beginning, there's two love stories in this journey, you know. Obviously the most important one is between my fiance and I, But I think that me and my dad reconnecting and going through the turbulence we went through and just everything from childhood and then him being there to support and give me advice was at the time I needed the most. It's just something I always wanted, you know, as a kid, that's something that you always want. So yeah, just for me, it was. It was a surreal moment. And I'm always be able to look back and watch those tapes and see that, so I think that's it's special.

Yeah, I feel like that was I feel like that was the right move. It was really important for him to stay back and that last chat, that last chat with you, I feel like that I don't know, it seemed to me as a viewer it really like calmed your nerves a little bit.

Yeah, that really it really helped me. You know, it really helped me because when you're in that environment, you're by you're by yourself, you know, and you obviously you have people that you're working with. But you know, my dad's known me since I've been a lot, so it's like for him to come back and be able to give advice to me and really calm my nerves, and it helped me. You know, I think that was a big.

Okay, Julianna, you you're engaged. Congratulations. What advice would you give to the woman who is in your position next season of.

The Bachelor, woman who gets engaged.

Yeaheah, watching it like being in the position you're in now, so like you're not, like you know, prepping for the show, but like watching it back and dealing with everything, the good and the bad.

I think it's the most important thing is you know, you can rely on your friends and your family as much as you want, but they didn't really get to live and experience what you just went through as like, not really many people do. So for me, I think it's just the both of us being able to kind of support each other and really no matter what, you know, frustrated you, whether it was something that happened between us, or something that happened between you know, me and the other girls, or just anything that I was able to really talk to him and he heard me. I think really leaning into your person during this time brings you a lot closer than trying to work things out on your own, which I think in the beginning, I tried to like work things out on my own, and we kind of realized that that was only going to bring us farther apart. So it's important to trust the person you know and to feel like they're your safe space, but also that they can give you some really good advice and just support.

You nice and Grant, when you're talking to the next bachelor and he's like you naive, smiling, happy, let's go, I'm gonna fall in love. What advice are you giving him?

I think the main thing about tell him is no right way to be the bachelor. You have to There's no right or perfect way to do it. You have to go in there and give your all, and you're gonna get backlash, you're gonna get criticism, but you have to give your heart because that's the only way you're gonna come out of their happy. And that's the The journey is not as important as the outcome and the ending and what comes after being the bachelor, that's the most important thing. So I would yeah, I would just tell him be yourself, be you, but give everything you have because it's gonna be worth it at the end.

Is there anything that you've learned about each other since coming off the show that surprised you.

Grant's like a water bottle hoarder.

Comes, Oh yeah, Like I will open a water bottle. I'll drink like like two SIPs and I'll.

This this video now so people could see water bottle horn.

I'm not a water bottle horner.

I never finishes her coffee.

No, I never finished my coffee. Yeah, that was funny.

I would like wake up in the first Happy Couple, and I'm every room I'm in there's like five like water bottles with four SIPs, and I'm like, what is happening.

You gotta like.

Put your name on it.

But I kind of knew this. But she loves she loves coffee. She's like she loves coffee. It's like her first thing she does in the morning is have her coffee and have a bagel.

Yes, how do you do your coffee?

Well, I get the Starbucks cold brew unsweetened, and then any sort of like vanilla creamer, just a little bit, a lot of ice and and straw.

You always need the s girls me.

Oh my god, you guys are us this is crazy. Joe when we were like when we first got off the show and we were high, and he'd like pull up and one of us would like run in and get coffee for the both of us. I would come back and he'd be like, you didn't get me a straw? What he'd be like, I need I need a straw, even if it's like like any kind of coffee, like the ones from Starbucks don't have the straws. It's meant to I'm like, okay.

Well, nobody wants to drink out of those sippy cups.

I have like a.

Books of extra Starbucks straws, Like every time I go in, I grab a couple and I.

Leave him Just in case.

That's actually a good idea. We keep straws at home now too. We always have to have straws everywhere.

It's an experience, right, I agree.

Okay, before we play a game with you, guys, what do you what do you think? What would you want the audience to know about your relationship that they may not have seen on the show.

Hm.

That's a really good question. I think that it's hard.

I don't know how you would answer because asking it, I don't know how I would answer it either. It's a weird question, but go for it.

I think that obviously they saw they saw our connection, but you know, it's a lot there's a lot of growth that happens after the show, and our connection is really a lot deeper than than than you know, the show showed a certain aspect, but it's deeper than that. You know, We've been through certain things even after the show, where we talk and we communicate and we we figured we're figuring each other out and we're doing a really good job. I feel like, yeah, I think our yeah teamwork right. Our relationship is a lot deeper, but also too, you know, it's we we we both have our we both have our own thing going on, and we we trust each other and we we help build each other. So I feel like that's something that they should know.

Yeah, I think there's like levels to us, you know, like we can be really just like for lack of better terms, like surface level and just have fun and goofy and not really super serious, but like we can all so get really deep and really I don't know, open with each other and in allowing each other.

To see that side to like support you.

I think we're pretty well rounded in that sense, and there's still so much more that we have to learn, you know.

Yeah, if we have you guys back on hypothetically in a year, where do you hope to be. It doesn't have to be like super specific, or it can be if you have a clear vision but like, if where do you hope to go from then to now?

Yeah?

Now to then?

Really, you know, having a house out there in Boston and then being able to go back between Boston and Houston or Boston and New York and traveling. But I think that, yeah, just settling down, having some nice property out there, and just being surrounded by friends and family and love. I think that's the main thing, you know.

Yeah, I would say Boston and Houston, because you want one place to be warm. We go back and forth, like.

Yeah, we're gonna have to escape inst for sure.

Yeah.

Okay, we are playing the newly engaged game. Who's who? Are you guys? Ready?

Yes, we're ready?

Okay, who is more forgetful?

Me?

Who say say the name? To say? Well, they know? But who has the best music taste?

I don't know we have. We both have different music tastes. But I'm gonna say She's gonna say her, So we're in the middle.

Okay, who's your what's your music taste? Juliana? I feel like I know grants.

Yeah, I feel like I bop around.

I like I like old school, like I don't know Italian dinner classics.

But then I also like.

Like Chill Butler and like I don't know Fred again rufus de soul, like I bob around.

That's why I think I'm better. I'm more.

She's more, she's more diversit. She's putting me onto a lot of a lot of music as well. Like I'll hear something like, Okay, I.

Like that you know Italian dinner music?

Wow?

Yeah you are Italian?

Okay, cooking in the kitchen, but I am playing the music.

Who sleeps in More?

Oh? On the weekends, I'm sleeping in More. I'm definitely sleeping in.

Grant's a sleeper. I'm a sleeper. It's an hour for two.

What time do you wake up during the week.

When I'm in Houston, I'm up probably seven fifty because an hour behind New York. When I'm in La, I'm at I'm up at like six am New York, I'm up eight thirty eight.

Who takes longer to get ready?

Men?

You want to ask this one?

Who hogs the bedmark?

Who hogs? Oh?

But she sleeps like like on a diagonal?

Okay, fine, but I don't move when I sleep?

Yeah, don't see.

I'm like a rock.

Who is the funniest I think she's funny.

I think she's the funniest. Really, I think she's funny just naturally, you know, from like her laugh to the way she likes to do her little dance. I think she's just I think she's Okay, I'll take.

That you skipped the question that I wanted you to ask.

You know, you skip now you ask who's the biggest cuddler?

Really, he's like, come here, I'm like, okay.

Wait, what's your love language?

I don't know.

I think it's funny because with him, I definitely like to like touch him at all times.

But also just I think.

Words of affirmation is that the right thing. You're just always kind of reassuring me.

And I think that also gift giving, not in the form of like material things, but obviously when we're together, you know what I'm saying, and we're able to live together there and like little things like flowers or like notes. I think that she enjoys things like that.

It's a small thing, small like thoughtful gestures. Totally m hm.

Who's more outgoing?

I think I think I think Jewels is more going. I really yeah. I think you know, we balance each other out too, because there's times where I'm like, listen, I'm I'm like my social battery is low. But then I have a couple of martinis and I'm like, I'm like having.

A bit of party.

And then you know, Jules is like she's definitely really outgoing, but this times when she wants her space as well. So I feel like it's just I think I think we balance each other out.

I'm an introverted extrovert.

I feel like I feel like we're both similar like that this one.

You guys may not even know the answer yet, but who's the better driver?

What? We want to revisit?

Them?

Back?

Oh? Yeah, hanging up? But that was okay? Yeah I'm back parallel, Okay, okay, yeah we'll split that. But you know I got the I love look.

Yeah, I will be anger princess moving forward.

But I will say it's the best.

It's the best car job.

So Grant's the best at driving forward?

Yeah?

Who's the better dancer?

Grandma? I can't dance.

I like this.

Who's the more organized one?

For sure?

Who's more adventurous?

M hmm probably you?

Probably me?

Yeah? Probably. I like a little adventure, but I don't do anything crazy.

Who you went on the Bachelor.

That's pretty crazy, true.

But I did tell them, like from right off the beginning, I was like, if you make me jump out of or off of anything, like, I will politely decline.

Like I said the same thing.

You did, but you jumped off, Like, get off this break, give me a martini first.

Who's the better Who's the better listener?

I think I think we're both equally good at listening to each other. There's little better in that because there's times when I'm talking and she's listening to me, and it's when she's talking and listening.

So yeah, I feel like neither one of us listens to like respond, you know, we really listen to like hear the person out. We take time and try to give the best advice or just be a listening to here.

Sometimes that's all you need.

Nice. Well, we're done with you guys. Thank you so much. Thank you honestly, congratulations. This is a fun moment in your life, so it should be so have enjoy it, you know, don't get caught up in the mess and really just like enjoy it because it's a great time.
