Let's get to the good stuff, shall we?
16

00:00:55
Let's get to that exclusive cutting
room floor footage with Becks.
17

00:00:58
Okay.

00:01:00
Because you know we love exclusives here

Are you ready?
22
:
00:01:09
Because your tee time
sesh is starting now.
23
:
00:01:13
Becs: And in this new chapter of my life
as I am, you know, starting to go out on
24
:
00:01:22
dates again, that's like kind of crazy.
25
:
00:01:26
It's been a while since I did that.
26
:
00:01:28
Um, but what I'm, what I'm looking
for is so drastically different.
27
:
00:01:37
And I, I was telling you all about
this last night as I was getting
28
:
00:01:41
ready, I was like, I'm so nervous.
29
:
00:01:42
I'm so nervous, I'm so nervous.
30
:
00:01:44
Um, but on the drive there, I just
kept reassuring myself and I was like,
31
:
00:01:51
I'm just gonna show up and I'm gonna
be a hundred percent Becs, and if that
32
:
00:01:58
chases this guy away, good riddance.
33
:
00:02:00
Like, that's completely fine.
34
:
00:02:02
I don't need that.
35
:
00:02:03
Um, and I do genuinely think
that the date went pretty well.
36
:
00:02:10
Um, I was a hundred percent myself.
37
:
00:02:15
Did not scare him away.
38
:
00:02:18
And,
39
:
00:02:21
you know, it, it was just kind of like a.
40
:
00:02:26
A positive sign from the universe that
like everything I'm doing right now
41
:
00:02:33
is, is the right thing to be doing.
42
:
00:02:36
Um, but yeah, I went out,
we went to a club together.
43
:
00:02:41
He likes to go out and have fun.
44
:
00:02:46
Amanda Paolicelli: What a strange concept.
45
:
00:02:47
Going out to have fun with
your, with your partner.
46
:
00:02:50
Wow.
47
:
00:02:51
Wow.
48
:
00:02:52
So, so strange.
49
:
00:02:54
So weird,
50
:
00:02:57
Becs: right?
51
:
00:02:57
Going out, doing
52
:
00:03:03
something
53
:
00:03:06
fun like.
54
:
00:03:09
Like dancing at a club.
55
:
00:03:12
I don't know.
56
:
00:03:13
Um, but we went out to a club.
57
:
00:03:15
There was like a nice spot outside
where we could like talk and um, you
58
:
00:03:20
know, we were just kind of getting
to know each other a little bit.
59
:
00:03:23
And one of the, the main things he, first
off, he listened to me talk forever.
60
:
00:03:33
I just started like rambling and I kept
being like, uh, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.
61
:
00:03:38
Like, I feel like I've been
talking about myself forever.
62
:
00:03:40
Like, like please like, you
know, share anything that, that
63
:
00:03:44
you wanna share or whatever.
64
:
00:03:46
And one of the things, sorry, I
feel like I've been talking forever.
65
:
00:03:49
Like, you know, tell me about yourself.
66
:
00:03:52
He goes, I could listen forever.
67
:
00:03:54
And I was like, oh.
68
:
00:03:57
Amanda Paolicelli: No, because let me tell
you, on my first date with my boyfriend,
69
:
00:04:01
I felt like I was talking the entire time.
70
:
00:04:04
And you know, I love t Yap.
71
:
00:04:05
I mean, that's why I have a mic and
headphones, that's why I have a podcast.
72
:
00:04:09
But I literally was like, oh my God.
73
:
00:04:10
I like, I'm so sorry.
74
:
00:04:11
I feel like I've spoken about myself.
75
:
00:04:13
So tell me about yourself.
76
:
00:04:14
And he goes, no, I'd
rather just listen to you.
77
:
00:04:17
And at first I was like,
wait, you need to talk too.
78
:
00:04:19
Like, hello.
79
:
00:04:21
But I, now I realize, I'm
like, oh wait, he actually just
80
:
00:04:25
wants to hear my perspective.
81
:
00:04:27
He wants to listen to me.
82
:
00:04:29
That's not bad.
83
:
00:04:30
Actually.
84
:
00:04:31
I'd rather have someone who's listening
to me than someone who's going to talk
85
:
00:04:35
over me and not let me finish my thought.
86
:
00:04:38
Like, right,
87
:
00:04:41
Becs: right.
88
:
00:04:43
Like.
89
:
00:04:44
This conversation is,
is gonna be two sided.
90
:
00:04:47
You're gonna let me share a whole
bunch of like stories, and you're
91
:
00:04:52
gonna listen all the way to the end.
92
:
00:04:54
Not only are you going to listen all
the way to the end, you're then going
93
:
00:04:58
to add on to them in the moment and
then bring them up later in the night.
94
:
00:05:04
Amanda Paolicelli: And then show me that
you actually truly did listen to me.
95
:
00:05:07
Yeah,
96
:
00:05:09
Becs: yeah.
97
:
00:05:09
When the moment arises to like
bring it back up later or like
98
:
00:05:13
bring it full circle like you will.
99
:
00:05:18
Insane.
100
:
00:05:19
Insane.
101
:
00:05:20
No,
102
:
00:05:21
Amanda Paolicelli: it's literally insane.
103
:
00:05:22
And I think it is so attractive when
a man actually shows you with his
104
:
00:05:26
actions that he does listen to you.
105
:
00:05:30
That he is observant, that he, he does
actually take everything in and digest
106
:
00:05:35
it and like chooses to remember it.
107
:
00:05:37
Like, that is attractive.
108
:
00:05:38
Like that is attractive.
109
:
00:05:39
And that is what we need.
110
:
00:05:40
That is what we need.
111
:
00:05:42
Becs: Exactly.
112
:
00:05:43
Like just for example, I mentioned to
the, the guy last night, like at the,
113
:
00:05:50
the beginning of the date, I think like
briefly, I was like, oh yeah, tomorrow,
114
:
00:05:54
like, I'm going on my friend's podcast.
115
:
00:05:56
Um, I'm super excited.
116
:
00:05:58
Like it's, it's my second
time that I'm doing it.
117
:
00:06:01
Um, and then he messaged me today
and he was like, oh, what time are
118
:
00:06:06
you doing the, the podcast again?
119
:
00:06:08
Like, um, I know that you said
you were doing that today and I
120
:
00:06:12
was like, and you were remembered.
121
:
00:06:14
Like, and you remember,
122
:
00:06:15
Amanda Paolicelli: I literally love
that for you because I think it's
123
:
00:06:17
the most amazing feeling when a guy
shows you that he actually cares
124
:
00:06:22
about you and actually listens to you,
125
:
00:06:23
Becs: like simply because it's
something that you care about and
126
:
00:06:27
that you are passionate about.
127
:
00:06:28
They're going to then care about
it because they care about you.
128
:
00:06:34
Amanda Paolicelli: Period.
129
:
00:06:34
What?
130
:
00:06:36
I know it's like such a foreign concept.
131
:
00:06:38
