Welcome to Mouthing Off with Olivia. Hey guys, it's Olivia Cariti from the Bachelor

of the Girl with probably the biggest mouth you've ever seen. But now I'm using my huge

mouth to talk really smart things with my favorite reality stars, influencers, YouTubers,

you name it, they're gonna mouth off to. This is Mouthing Off with Olivia.

Guys, this is one of the hardest podcasts I've ever done because I've never researched

more in my life for Chris Bikowski. You've been on every show imaginable.

I know. I must make it tough for you. It's really tough. No, it's honestly been such a joy

to go back and watch Emily Maynard season. One of the best ever in my opinion all the way

up to just last summer. So we got a lot to talk about. Let's get going. Beforehand, I like

to know all about you before this crazy thing that you did called the Bachelor. So what

were you up to? Yeah, so oddly enough, I actually just moved from New York back to Chicago.

But in that time, I was actually kind of trading emails with casting. And I just bought a

place in Chicago. It was like, you know, so excited. I was 20, just turned 25. And my whole

life was just ready to get started. You know, in Chicago, had a great job. Yeah. And I

was kind of ignoring them. And they hit me up. They're like, we're at a casting in Chicago

and was right by my place. So I just went over there and I went and went well and they

told me who the girl is going to be. And I was totally my type, you know, Emily. So

then they cast me like a week or two later. How did they even find you though? So one

of my best friends growing up, she sent a letter in to nominate me on why I should be

the bachelor. Oh, okay. That's how I got my information. Yeah. So had you watched the

show before doing it? No, I, you know, my mom watched it. So I would kind of see like,

you know, it on in the background. I remember her watching like Andrew Firestone. Oh, yeah.
