First 90 secondsJess Vestal· Guest0:00
[upbeat music] You're crazy.
Nick Viall· Host0:03
What's going on, everybody? I know we don't usually do these intros, but we're gonna start maybe doing them. We're doing them because we have a very special guest today. Jess Vestal is my, uh, celebrity guest.
Jess Vestal· Guest0:23
[laughs] Hey.
Nick Viall· Host0:24
You excited? You ready?
Jess Vestal· Guest0:26
I'm so excited.
Nick Viall· Host0:27
I knew J- Jess is a- you, you, you guys know Jess will be good at this.
Jess Vestal· Guest0:31
I might have some wisdom to share here or there.
Nick Viall· Host0:33
I feel like you do.
Jess Vestal· Guest0:34
Yeah.
Nick Viall· Host0:35
Yeah. What's going on in your life? Anything new?
Jess Vestal· Guest0:37
Um- Do you have a love life these days? I knew you were gonna ask me that. Um, as far as my love life goes, I think I'm still gonna err on the side of private until- Okay ... permanent.
Nick Viall· Host0:48
Private until permanent. We love that.
Jess Vestal· Guest0:50
Yeah. Um, but other than that, I'm just busy with Autumn, and I don't know, trying to make the world a better place, I guess.
Nick Viall· Host0:58
Okay. What is, uh, before we get into our calls, what is one kind of relationship theme you're seeing out there that either you think is good or you, it annoys you?
Jess Vestal· Guest1:09
Mm. I was actually just talking about this yesterday. I feel like a lot of people, um, get, like, FOMO. They meet people that they really like and they're interested in, but they feel like, "Oh, I don't know if I should take this seriously or if I wanna settle down 'cause there might just be something better that's gonna come along," and I really hate that.
Nick Viall· Host1:29
Yeah.
