Natalie if you really like him, you can communicate with him and tell him you need your fruits and vegetables washed before eating them. 😂That is not a hard thing for someone to do or change. My partner and I do some things differently, but we communicate and we make it work.
Whenever people make judgmental comments about food preparation, that is exactly what think too 😂. Natalie would be in a coma if she knew what kitchen life is like in restaurants. I have 17 years experience working in kitchens in hotels, restaurants, catering spots and most are high end…. They’re all gross behind the scenes 😂
Your mind processes it differently if you actually *see* the food being prepared tbh. I'm kind of like Natalie so I try to avoid seeing people cook if I know I'm eating at theirs. 9/10 times it actually won't harm you and it's all in your mind. But the mind is powerful. I do think it's worth a discussion though in Natalie's case
Just tell the dude Nat... Ask him if he's open to washing produce... If he refuses just coz mommy told him so then you could rethink (only coz he's not open to making a tiny compromise more than the not washing produce)
Did y'all not hear her. Even if he decides too his family who taught him it was ok not too, probably won't do it and she wouldn't be able to eat at family functions
To me not washing the produce isn’t a big big deal but it is something worth letting him know it’s not something you find yourself comfortable with. It really is so chill, just ask for him to wash the produce esp if he makes you meals again. Or if it really does bother you a lot over time and he doesn’t want to accommodate you in that way, then… I guess date someone else lol
Agree👆🏻 He might now start to wonder what is wrong with HIM that he cooked a meal for a woman and put his best foot forward and still gets ghosted... I feel for this guy.
SO appreciate your honesty in response to the Q about going on the show to get famous: the idea that being “there for the right reasons” means going on this type of show exclusively “for love” is such BS and people who claim that actually come across less authentic to me. People don’t sign up for a TV show without wanting fame/a platform/etc. on some level and there’s a spectrum from those who do it solely for that reason to those who hope they just might find their person as well. Suffice it to say your honesty about this makes you seem truly authentic!
Natalie, you are not wrong for thinking produce NEEDS to be washed. Has nobody seen the videos of people doing gross things at the grocery store? We dont know where people's hands have been.
I agree with Nat! When he said “You don’t wash produce” as a fact of life with no wiggle room will never be comfortable for you. He could have said that in a suggestive way. You saved urself so many future headaches!
I was watching this episode on my tv, but as soon as I saw Natalie's reason to ghost this guy, I had to come and comment. Natalie, you can wash the produce or tell him that it is suuuper important for you for him to do so. Don't let go a great connection just yet.. This is just my humble opinion. Love you both girls
Natalie, as a fellow IBS girlie, you aren’t overreacting to him not washing his produce. We with sensitive guts can have an even worse time if the wrong germ gets in us, or too many pesticides. I also can’t imagine trying to explain food sensitivities to someone who already doesn’t understand why you need to wash produce. It’s so much bigger of an issue than it looks like on the surface. 🤦♀️
My ex used to chew his food really loudly. This was in college and more than 10 years ago. When the first time I saw him do that I thought he is being funny cause he was a funny guy. But no, thats how he ate. This was the first time and we were all together in college cafeteria with friends so I let it be but the next time we were alone and he started chomping food loudly I stopped him and told him about it. He corrected it and never did it again. He always appreciated that I told him about it since he went on to work at senior positions where it might not have looked professional. So Natalie, I would suggest pointing out to wash the produce?? Nothing wrong in it. May be we are loosing a great connection for a thing he can change? Don know haha
Errr ghosting because a man cooked for you, but didn’t wash the produce is actually crazy. Just communicate that. Even playfully, like oh no babe, we gotta start washing produce around here. Natalie is neurotic fr 😭
Well, it was the fact that the family does the same, and some learnt behaviour can't be unlearned, so if that's a dealbreaker, it's good she found out early on lol...I'm not saying I agree but everyone had their own wants.
Yes I'm sorry Natalie... That is wild. This man could COOK, and he cooked three courses for you??? I'm floored that she told on herself like this. I think this is a small small thing to ghost a "great guy" over... But she knows it and is happy single, power to her 🙏🏻
If they don't wash their produce, imagine what else they don't wash 😱I couldn't be with someone like that either. I don't fear germs but I value cleanliness so much.
What’s up with everyone calling each other best friends during the show.. like to me, it’s a slap in the face to all my actual besties that have known me my whole life, or do they just not have friends outside of the show
I used to never bother washing fruits and vegetables because my family growing up only did it for grapes for some reason, THEN I worked at a grocery store... Trust me, wash your produce!! Also, dirt is the cleanest thing they come in contact with before it gets to you
Nathalie if you really liked him then you can train him or just communicate what you want. I’ve been with mine for 5 years, we are compatible and he doesn’t give me icks but I do tell him what I want / don’t want. And he learns because he loves me so yeah. Sometimes just compromise and communicate what you want. I mean the other person is not a mind reader just saying. I personally accept that I’m not perfect so I give others room to make mistakes and like correct them after. Sorry didn’t mean it o be mean or negative, just wanted to share my opinion. Love you guys !!!
I agree on this. Letting people know this is what you need going forward would solve everything. I was so frustrated especially after she said that she had a connection with him. You let it go over this thing you could talk about? Must not have been that great of a connection
If she wants to, would you have Bri, the mother of Tyler's children on for an interview to clear up some of the conflicting statements that she has made compared to what Tyler and Ashley have said during the Reunion and on The Viall Files podcast? She may not want to as she has already answered the most relevant questions along with providing proof that back up her statements with Jessie Woo and StoryTimeWithRikki. The reason that I think it would be good is I've been seeing a lot of articles from People Magazine, Business Insider, and US Weekly, that only shares Ashley's and Tyler's side of the story so it seems like Netflix really wants to bury Bri's story and it could be good to get her story out to more people to help with the backlash she is receiving online. It also really hurt me personally seeing the headline "Love Is Blind’s Ashley Adionser Got an Apology DM From Mother of Tyler Francis’ Kids" as it is clearly stated in a way to make Bri look like she apologized for lying when she says she only said I'm sorry that you are getting hate online due to Tyler's lies and for Ashley, Tyler, and Netflix to use that against Bri just rubs me the wrong way and I hope that more people at least hear her side of the story.
Natalie - As a guy, I wouldn't trust that how much he actually learned from his mom vs what he inferred regarding when and when not to wash fruits and vegetables. At least mention it and give him a chance to adapt and I guarantee if this becomes serious, his parents will be more than willing to provide additional accommodations when you come over for dinner. Also, this is not a deterrent nor should you assume the worst, but I assume you have eaten at other friends' places as well as have eaten out and there's no reason you can't have the same mindset that you have there as his parents' place where you just assume everything is washed to your satisfaction as you can't truly know at the other places. If he gives you a hard time and refuses to change for you, then that is a deal breaker, but assuming the worst without knowing how he will respond feels like you are looking for a flawless person for you out of the box which I hate to tell you doesn't exist.
I think when it comes to the ick you got from your date Natalie, it is valid. But it also leans on self-sabotage area because that is something that can be fixed pretty easily. Figuring out how to communicate it is tough, one because you're just getting to know each other and figuring out how to communicate. Two, since it's a familial lesson that's been his reality growing up which is not as easy to change. If it was just his own assumption then that'd be a lot easier. I just think it's funny how quickly the train of thought spiraled, which is where I think it turned into self-sabotage. 😂 The surface concern is valid especially when from time to time we hear about recalls due to ecoli contamination no matter how much you wash produce (rather with the way you describe how you scrub your produce you likely actually negate the risk where most others don't clean their produce enough).
And yeah def let him know that you’re not interested bc of that, it might make him more mindful of something he otherwise would have never found strange or even a dealbreaker
Natalie... you do you! There is nothing wrong with you being you. But, if you really find a guy you like, I am sure you will be open to sharing the news about veggie washes! Lol. You just have to find the one, and when you do, you will know.
agreed but her thought process makes sense to me 😅 it’s a generational thing so likely his family doesn’t either, i wouldn’t feel comfy with eating produce at their family dinners either
@@h3turyou’re gonna eat there like once a month max though. It’s something that’s unfortunate but not something I’d ever take into account when trying to decide if someone is for me
Natalie: if you don’t know the guy well enough to know if he’s going to flip out or “murder” you over critiquing him not washing the fruit, you don’t know him well enough to be ALONE with him in his house. Like seriously, can we PLEASE talk about safety when it comes to dating and why are women so comfortable being alone with a man in his or their home but not comfortable enough to show any emotion other than positive feedback? Does that not seem off?
This morning on Facebook, I saw a post from Netflix Church or something in my news feed. It read something like "Cast members from Love is Blind who now have an onlyfans". And it was a picture of Kyle and Shane together. Hell no. Thought of you two 😂
You are not wrong Nat, this is why in Caribbean culture we don’t eat from people we don’t know because everyone’s food preparation practices are different.
It’s all about the training. I trained/molded my husband into the man of my dreams. 37 years married. I am a germaphobe and he respects all of my “issues”.
Natalie, communicate with him that you would be more comfortable if he washes the produce. If he likes you, he should compromise. And if he can't take your feelings into consideration, he's not the one.
If not washing produce was an isolated trait I’d have addressed it but my concern would be the other traits about the guy that could branch off from similar mindsets about cleanliness and at that point it’s a more pervasive issue than just one thing
Natalie just communicate with the guy and not in a serious ‘we need to talk’ just the fact that although you were grateful for the meal you’re a germaphobe and this truly freaks you out. You can also explain the fact that there are germs and pesticides that can be harmful. It’s not just a matter of heat. If he’s understanding then he’ll be communicative with his parents that this matters to you if you’re coming over 🤷♀️
So.. the produce washing thing... I'm with you 100% on the washing. What I'm not with you on though is ghosting the guy then talking about it on your popular podcast. chances are, he saw what you're saying here. It's a bit cruel. Just be honest and say that you're a bit of a clean freak (which is nothing wrong) and that thing gave you an ick.. and see how he responds. You might be surprised with the answer and the ick might go away because of it.
I wish you guys went into detail about the dresses. Whats the budget and do you only gget to try on 3? Anyway I love the two of you together, I cant wait to have a friendship like yours
I feel like maybe this story was just for laughs but if this is legit you really need to start communicating with people if stuff is bothering you. I think you are an incredible person and any guy would be lucky to be with you, but if you're not communicating you're not going to sustain a healthy relationship. I usually wouldn't comment but if you actually had a genuine connection with this guy you should give it another go.
They don't do an STD screening for the show, What!? No wonder Marissa in this past season wanted to use condoms. The show is seriously beening irresponsible and a law suit, will happen, or should, it's just a matter of time. Hopefully nothing worse than that will happen especially for the contestants. The show should be liable! 😮
I understand the idea behind not washing that’s being cooked. But not washing the ones you’re eating out of the bag? Yikes. But I feel like this can be changed and is not a dealbreaker.
So much of what you need from your fruits and veg is just under the skin. If you are using a brush to scrub that hard, you have destroyed or removed it.
I get washing the produce but I needa know if you ever eat chips, or anything else that has terrible ingredients. Because then it makes no sense for you to care about “dirty” fruit or veggies!
While I understand your choice to end a relationship because they don't wash their produce, I think saying that out loud will sound insane. I honestly think that you should just lie to him. 😂 I would just tell him that you are incompatible and leave it at that. And that's not even a lie. It's just vague.😅 Good luck to you girl!
actually, i'm not sure how blueberrys are produced where you all live, but at least in portugal, you just dont wash them, they are produced without pesticides and all that actually even the fruit has a natural "dust" that makes them be more valuable
I would have dumped him too! Embrace who you are and don’t listen to the noise! You will find your clean man! Can’t believe you ate the blueberries! I would have playfully said something and made him wash them! So gross! 🤢
The Taylor and Garrett following thing is weird to me because taylor and garret actually DID follow each other (on instagram at least) for the first 3 weeks the show was airing🤚 and then she unfollowed him- but obviously they are still together so it’s just kinda funny😭🤚
I mean, for me I feel like I could tackle the washing/food safety convo and find a compromise with someone who is as Natalie described. But if Natalie is as big a germophobe as she describes it sounds like there’d be so many additional issues related to this. Not just his extended family, but if they had kids, etc. he probably has the “play in dirt/eat dirt” philosophy on small children which she may not like. World views on cleanliness/etc. are one of those things you need compatibility with. I’m fairly moderate but for an obsessive like Natalie it’d drive someone who isn’t as motivated pretty nuts. Natalie needs to find someone practicing a similar level food safety, or willing to meet her there, or she’ll need to become a bit more flexible…
Natalie, talk to him!!! Just be honest lol. Say, you know i have this huge thing with germs and it really bothers me. This is something he can easily change. And you say apart from that everything was amazing?? Dudeee dont throw it away! This is something in a relationship that is workable
Rinsing the food is def not a dealbreaker! That’s not a foundational value or even a personality trait. Just ask him to start washing the food 🤷🏻♀️ if you ask him and he doesn’t make the effort that’s a different story
Here’s a question, can those who ask these questions “burning questions” not ask the same question over and over again!!!!!! And do you guys just pick the questions by first comment or you guys actually go through the questions that is actually “burning”? 😅😅😅 Every “Burning question” session is the SAME questions!!!!!!
Nat he made a whole meal for you, you said hes great, don’t try to push him away with something he can change so easily!
But the family eats pesticides
It’s not easy to change habits like that. Know from experience 😢😂
I think it is something you can talk
Do you assume he is unreasonable. Why can't you explain the pesticide thing? Then if he isn't receptive dump him.
Yeah it could be an oversight, if genders were switched we may be a bit more harsh lol
Wish Nat the best though
Please, please recap your season!!!! That would be so amazing to hear your BTS take!!
I second this! That would be awesome!
Yes please!
Natalie if you really like him, you can communicate with him and tell him you need your fruits and vegetables washed before eating them. 😂That is not a hard thing for someone to do or change. My partner and I do some things differently, but we communicate and we make it work.
This is true
She's too immature
@ mean girl comment - unless of course this is Shane 😂
Natalie - you should see how your restaurant food is prepped...
Yes. People don’t even wash their hands after touching raw meat sometimes
that's why I don't eat out much. The restaurant I worked at we washed produce thoroughly and were really clean.
😂😂😂 exactly!!
Whenever people make judgmental comments about food preparation, that is exactly what think too 😂. Natalie would be in a coma if she knew what kitchen life is like in restaurants. I have 17 years experience working in kitchens in hotels, restaurants, catering spots and most are high end…. They’re all gross behind the scenes 😂

Or she might change her mind because she can think or she might start just for you. You know families start making food vegetarian for people.

Natalie's dating ick is kind of something we were all used to. Washing all those produces is a must even for me!
Im grateful you guys went on the show, found each other and this is where you are and I get to listen to your podcast😌
SO appreciate your honesty in response to the Q about going on the show to get famous: the idea that being “there for the right reasons” means going on this type of show exclusively “for love” is such BS and people who claim that actually come across less authentic to me.

i’m so glad you posted on monday this week, i needed this
Me too 😢❤
Not washing potatoes is criminal
I went back and started season 2 to rewatch you guys!!! Love the idea
As a Germaphobe I agree and I am amazed you ate the crumble.
Natalie, you are not wrong for thinking produce NEEDS to be washed. Has nobody seen the videos of people doing gross things at the grocery store? We dont know where people's hands have been.
Love that you guys are talking about egg freezing. I did it twice before starting cancer treatment and I learned so much but also was a huge relief.
Justice for Mr Blueberry 🫐
Tyler walking out of his kids’ lives the night before he went on a reality TV show is being enabled & that is sad
If Ashley is cool with it, then let’s let her be cause I’m kind of tired of the whole thing with Ashley and Tyler.
I agree with Nat! When he said “You don’t wash produce” as a fact of life with no wiggle room will never be comfortable for you. He could have said that in a suggestive way. You saved urself so many future headaches!
Me listening while literally giving my broccoli a veggie bath😅😅
Love love love how... soothing your voices are! such a nice podcast to listen to!
So interested on D's egg freezing process!

Why isn’t OOTP getting any interviews with last season’s LIB cast they’re on lots of other podcasts but yours??
I wish you guys went into detail about the dresses. Whats the budget and do you only gget to try on 3? Anyway I love the two of you together, I cant wait to have a friendship like yours
28:09 Messica was season 1 and she was on the recent reunion 😊
Do not wash all the berries at once. Wash them right before eating. It reduces the change of mold and makes them lasts longer
Glad you got your eggs while it’s still legal to do so!
There’s nothing “way less” than blueberry’s.
The pickings are slim out here , tell that man to wash the fruit 😅
There's a cartoon about a guy who never buys produce at the front because it's at crotch-level.... but yes pesticides are really bad for you....
Natalie , you’re being ridiculous lol I’m so sorry. I love you but that’s a no. I’m starting to think maybe you’re looking at too many ways out
6:14 it’s the pesticides
I feel like maybe this story was just for laughs but if this is legit you really need to start communicating with people if stuff is bothering you. I think you are an incredible person and any guy would be lucky to be with you, but if you're not communicating you're not going to sustain a healthy relationship. I usually wouldn't comment but if you actually had a genuine connection with this guy you should give it another go.
I fear if you tell him , he would just ghost you LMAO
Aren't pesticides in the DNA of the fruit/veggie as its sprayed multiple times as it grows? Would still wash though
Thea are, which is why its so important to buy organic. The plant gets the pesticides through its roots
They don't do an STD screening for the show, What!? No wonder Marissa in this past season wanted to use condoms. The show is seriously beening irresponsible and a law suit, will happen, or should, it's just a matter of time. Hopefully nothing worse than that will happen especially for the contestants. The show should be liable! 😮
She wanted to wear a condom to "prevent" pregnancy because they already admitted to not using protection in Mexico
I understand the idea behind not washing that’s being cooked. But not washing the ones you’re eating out of the bag? Yikes.
But I feel like this can be changed and is not a dealbreaker.
Uhm yeah, washed fruit and veggies are a must
So much of what you need from your fruits and veg is just under the skin. If you are using a brush to scrub that hard, you have destroyed or removed it.
Are you guys gonna review LIB Habibi?
I get washing the produce but I needa know if you ever eat chips, or anything else that has terrible ingredients. Because then it makes no sense for you to care about “dirty” fruit or veggies!
People do not ghost people for less… 🤦🏻♀️
While I understand your choice to end a relationship because they don't wash their produce, I think saying that out loud will sound insane. I honestly think that you should just lie to him. 😂 I would just tell him that you are incompatible and leave it at that. And that's not even a lie. It's just vague.😅 Good luck to you girl!
Natalie is a lil extra w how she makes food but I would also be turned off at non washing produce boy 🤢
Such a beautiful ending for this episode. 🥹🫶🏻❤️
actually, i'm not sure how blueberrys are produced where you all live, but at least in portugal, you just dont wash them, they are produced without pesticides and all that
actually even the fruit has a natural "dust" that makes them be more valuable
I would have dumped him too! Embrace who you are and don’t listen to the noise! You will find your clean man! Can’t believe you ate the blueberries! I would have playfully said something and made him wash them! So gross! 🤢
Nope. Wash blueberries, raspberries, any .produce. Always
The Taylor and Garrett following thing is weird to me because taylor and garret actually DID follow each other (on instagram at least) for the first 3 weeks the show was airing🤚 and then she unfollowed him- but obviously they are still together so it’s just kinda funny😭🤚
I mean, for me I feel like I could tackle the washing/food safety convo and find a compromise with someone who is as Natalie described. But if Natalie is as big a germophobe as she describes it sounds like there’d be so many additional issues related to this. Not just his extended family, but if they had kids, etc. he probably has the “play in dirt/eat dirt” philosophy on small children which she may not like. World views on cleanliness/etc. are one of those things you need compatibility with. I’m fairly moderate but for an obsessive like Natalie it’d drive someone who isn’t as motivated pretty nuts. Natalie needs to find someone practicing a similar level food safety, or willing to meet her there, or she’ll need to become a bit more flexible…
I seasoned and cook with gloves also
You really want them clean you should soak them in vinegar
If he didn’t wash his vegetables imagine what else he doesn’t wash…
This is why you ladies single
Natalie, talk to him!!! Just be honest lol. Say, you know i have this huge thing with germs and it really bothers me. This is something he can easily change. And you say apart from that everything was amazing?? Dudeee dont throw it away! This is something in a relationship that is workable
Rinsing the food is def not a dealbreaker! That’s not a foundational value or even a personality trait. Just ask him to start washing the food 🤷🏻♀️ if you ask him and he doesn’t make the effort that’s a different story
Can you guys talk about LIB Habibi? Pleaseeeeeee
Deepti! Hannah is your least favorite over TYLER!?!?!?!?!?!??! The man ABANDONED HIS KIDS!
why did around the 27 minute mark sound so much like human trafficking 👀
Here’s a question, can those who ask these questions “burning questions” not ask the same question over and over again!!!!!! And do you guys just pick the questions by first comment or you guys actually go through the questions that is actually “burning”? 😅😅😅
Every “Burning question” session is the SAME questions!!!!!!
Natalie I would also stop dating the non-produce-washing fam LOL. Dating bad laundry habits that didn’t change was enough for me.
I absolutely love how germaphobe you are, Natalie. Yes to the kitchen gloves and mask !! 😅
