Ep 201 - Interview with Love Island's Tre Forte
(SPOILERS) I start by giving brief thoughts on what’s going on with “Bachelorette” and it’s spoilers. Then Tre joins me (5:07) to talk about his stint on “Love Island” including what his intentions were, who he was most attracted to, who he thinks is the biggest actor on the show (probably not who you think), how he sees the rest of the season playing and much more. Also, we address controversial tweets he had 6-7 years ago, then end the conversation talking Ohio St. football, who he played for from 2013-2018.
