Way to go Dave getting that 1st off contract interview!

[@mytrishy1]

Yay Dave! Another home run! Tito is way more mature, deep, and sensitive than the show revealed. Your interview highlighted this side of him!

[@longwaytotipperary]

Totally agree!

[@Fun_Sized_Gigi]

This is pure gold. Tino is a beautiful soul who was done so dirty in TV. There’s so much more to him that was never shown. I also think he was ambushed at the happy couple weekend. He’s definitely right that Rachel needs a couple years to come into her own. I wish them both nothing but happiness. Great interview Dave.

[@jennifergravitt7872]

Take a breath, Tino! You can tell he's held this in for way too long. Driving with Dave, therapy addition.

[@SupernaturalLove100]

💀

[@Julianneanneanne]

Don't walk, RUN to watch this interview. The show did Tino so dirty.. he's just a normal guy who happened to make mistakes that were filmed. Most of us are lucky to never know what that's like. It's hard to choose my favorite DWD, each one has been so insightful and fun. Can't wait to see who we get to watch next Saturday!

[@patriciajones6771]

I so agree with you , I always make the point to all the CHIEF JUDGES AND EXECUTIONERS on a reality show cameras are on you 24 hrs each day, how many of us can be filmed and not be seen and heard doing things that might questionable, we are human , we make mistakes, we all do, we are not Paragons of virtue, although some of us really think we are.

[@user-yv9eu4so9p]

I freaking LOVE Tino. I didn't think Rachel was smart in picking him at first, but after seeing the ATFR where they treated him like SHIT, and he was so graceful about it, I've been eagerly awaiting to hear more from him. Love this.

[@venussuki]

It's very refreshing to watch two men having an intelligent conversation.

[@reeree5259]

About emotions too! Loved it

[@runnerX007]

Tino is a great example that if you're truly a good person at heart, no matter what edit you get on the show or whether they choose to exploit your mistakes [we all make them!], you can still come out on top--and whatever the show did can actually backfire. I was pretty neutral on Tino during the show itself, but the way he's handled himeself since the fallout and spoke about it with such class has made him one of my favorite bachelor alums. The show might try to destroy you, but how you handle that can actually make you look good!

[@SupernaturalLove100]

That mustache! That mustache! Bold! It’s giving old school villain lol

[@Thefairyvixen]

Thanks Dave for doing this! It showed a different side of Tino, a more thoughtful and sensitive side. I always thought the way production treated him was so nasty. His and Rachel’s situation always reminded me of the Rachel/Ross thing. Cannot wait to watch the next Driving with Dave!

[@francinesanchez5402]

Awww. You got his first non contract interview??? I was always pro Tino. Not anti Rachel, but pro Tino. I appreciated his attitude at ATFR. Ok. Going to watch now

[@erikapauley7391]

Great interview! He seems like a super regular, level headed chill person! Glad to hear he’s not getting too wrapped up into all the social media stuff

[@vwchik7777]

Damn! Just when I thought you couldn't top the last! This was undoubtedly the most grounded and for the superfans who can't separate the edit from reality, let this be a lesson! Whether you like the lead of contestant or not, you DO NOT really know who they are!

[@called2life1]

Tinos proof that Bachrlor is of another world. It’s so intense and there’s no way your emotional reactions are going to be “normal”

[@runnerX007]

Picked a good time to watch on KZbin vs. listen on Apple bc I did a double take at how different Tino looks! 😂

[@svllta]

You killed it with this interview guest! So glad to hear more from tino 🎉 keep it coming with the amazing guests and content Dave! You’re the BEST.

[@madamepaulettes5337]

I thought Tino really suffered more than anyone at the hands of production. The kiss thing was so stupid. Over-reaction of the century. I think Tino is a classy guy who cares about people and is beautiful inside and out. His Dad was so funny on his Facebook posts and his family really suffered from the internet pitchforks, egged on by his editing by Bachelorette production. It did seem like the Roman Empire where Tino was thrown to the lions.

[@Aaron-kj8dv]

They really made it like he was drunk driving and drove into a schoolyard or something.

[@catherinepalmer2900]

Totally Agree!

[@jerrysdancer3769]

Tino on the show and Tino here, are two different people. It seems they exploited his lack of media savvy.

[@alicewood1665]

I really enjoy the insights Tino has about his own mental health. So glad he is doing okay.

[@susanboss9894]

The more Tino talks, the more it’s obvious why he and Rachel didn’t work out.

[@barbarac840]

This was another great DWD interview! You do an awesome job asking the hard questions whilst behind the wheel! Always thought Tino was a good guy so glad he got to share his story again with you and glad is doing so well now!

[@stayceaagerman7694]

Dave, You really know how to choose your guests! This was great! I really enjoyed the two of you.

[@susanboss9894]

Wow!! Two grown men discussing feelings and being vulnerable! That’s rare! I get the anxious attachment….I believe I’ve made a lot of progress in that area. It destroys relationships. ❤

[@jerrysdancer3769]

Tino expressed when he wakes up every morning , he counts his blessings 🌌That's very spiritually healthy and starts the day off right.🙏 🌅

[@KimJilene]

Great interview! I didn't even watch Tino's season, and only heard about the Tino fallout through Dave's channel. Tino is so down to earth and genuine and I love how he has really embraced therapy and taking care of his mental health after what he has gone though. Another banger from Dave!

[@kimosabescraps1]

This was another amazing episode. I am so happy to hear from them and give them the opportunity to share about themselves. Dave you do such a great job of valuing all persons . We had already talked about this before but nice to hear from himself about how the “show” presents drama. I wish Tino the best and hope he continues to find success.

[@plumsmom8043]

Folding laundry and watching Driving with Dave-Tito! Excellent Saturday morning!

[@thedavenealshow8849]

Perfect chores and chat

[@mommycontent]

Doing the last leg of a cross country move from FL to WA and watching! Go Dave!!!

[@plumsmom8043]

@@mommycontent Having moved across country several times sending you a peaceful safe and smooth move!

[@mommycontent]

@@plumsmom8043 Ahh same!! Thank you!!

[@barippy]

@@mommycontent WA is so nice & cool right now and the rain has started… it should be this way until about June - on the west coast of WA, that is. This is my fave part. 😊 ☔️💧Safe travels & Welcome to WA!! 💧☔️

[@jennifer.martin.48]

I really enjoyed this episode, and got to see a whole new and real side to Tino. I still feel the same way back then as I do now, the producers did him so dirty and he didn’t deserve as much hate as he received and how they treated them at the AFR was atrocious. How is it that Jed had a whole relationship on Hannah B’s season and didn’t get that kind of treatment on AFR and Tino did??? It’s refreshing to see a former contestant that actually goes back to normal life and doesn’t use the show to gain a social media following. Kudos to him for opening up and sharing his side of the story. I think a lot of viewers a seeing him in a different light.

[@theresa9925]

Dave what I love about these DWD...is that we get to really know the person you are interviewing. However, we also get to know you better too. You do an awesome job of making the person feel at ease & feel safe to share their thoughts & feelings.

[@susanboss9894]

This is probably one the best interviews Dave. I am disabled as well. It’s true what Tino said.

[@elizabethmalone1840]

I thought the way Rachel and production handled it so badly. Especially Rachel.

[@leevis333]

Lol this is like a Ross and Rachel situation. Kudos to Dave for trying to get to the bottom of it 😅 I like both Tino and Rachel and think they both mean well. I wish them the best on their journeys. Great interview Dave!!

[@lindsaywilliams1311]

Wahoooo 🎉🎉🎉 I’ve been anxiously awaiting this interview! Cannot wait to hear Tino’s side of the story, unedited and not manipulated 👍

[@jenmary6623]

Very respectful man. Excellent interview as always 💥🎉🙏

[@kimlaffont9951]

I could not help but wonder how bad Dave's driving was watching Tino's expressions. It was brilliant. Dave you are killing it!

[@dohenyphoto]

Dude I watched the first 10 seconds of the video then just randomly clicked in the middle of the video around 20:00 and I landed on the exact some clip from the intro! I might go buy a lottery ticket right now lol

[@thedavenealshow8849]

Haha OR I just looped together 10 seconds over and over

[@dohenyphoto]

lol that is the high quality content I expect from you Dave @@thedavenealshow8849

[@christinehaydon1745]

I always thought Tino got a bad edit. I felt bad for him. Thank you for this great interview Dave!!! I love seeing Tino doing great in life and not relying on the show, like 99% of them do, for a social media following and getting paid from endorsements.

[@BeachGirl16]

Wow! No wonder what Rachel saw in Tino to make him F1. He is so incredibly handsome of course, but here we really get to see his personality. So manly and sexy! Infectious- the kind of guy you want to be around. And also such a good person. He would 100% be my type (if I wasn't madly in love with my boyfriend who I am going to marry). Tino, you are a 10/10. You have it all. I know you mentioned here that you weren't interested in being The Bachelor, but you would make an AMAZING Bachelor. Authentic, handsome, kind, trustworthy, intelligence, and so much more...you check all of the boxes! TINO FOR THE BACHELOR! Whoever ends up with Tino someday will be a VERY lucky and blessed woman!

[@mrsb6620]

The moustache on tino was unexpected! Cute!!!!!

[@celestemerryman3905]

Dave - I love listening to these conversations. It really humanizes everyone (and you). As an anxious attachment person myself, I love hearing how people are making their way through it to healthy attachments.

[@Silverstreak7878]

Tino is so funny about taking his medicine on national tv 😂🤣😂😅

[@tzeven1]

Yay Tino! You look healthy and at peace!

[@morelove444]

Wonderful interview. So good to hear from Tino finally!!

[@heh_128]

Ive got to say Dave, having been a listener/subscriber since bookshelf Dave (throwing it back a little here) your Driving with Dave videos are my absolute favorites! And I’m not just referring to your bachelor nation stars, although they have all been fantastic but you have managed to bring on such a fantastic variety of people from all walks of entertainment and life who have so much to share. I’ve truly started to look forward to your Saturday morning drops. Thanks for all of your hard work ~ it’s truly appreciated ✨🫶

[@thedavenealshow8849]

Aw thanks so much for your support!!

[@carlychamberlain4237]

Love he is willing to talk about what he has learned. I can't imagine how hard it is for every couple to watch back while in hiding, let alone if there is friction.

[@leahdesmondart]

Dave you’re such a legend. Long time fan. Good work we are here for you

[@elisamolina9909]

Ok I have too many questions here! How's your dad?! I think he's dad helped him come back to reality. Glad he got out of the mess and living his best life!!

[@thedavenealshow8849]

i meant to ask about his dad, he seems like a good guy!

[@jamckeen24]

Another great interview, Dave! And I appreciate Toni’s self reflection and graciousness.

[@katherineyokers8052]

The Aven scenario was so juvenile.

[@LauraR.2066]

This really goes to show that if you are a good person, even abc can’t permanently control your narrative. Tino might be the least judgmental person that exists because how he kept from saying a single negative thing about Rachel after what she did to him takes a saint 😂. Tino is better off without that drama.

[@HanaBelle__]

Oh I’m ready for this one! Just picked up my dunkin breakfast order 🤗

[@thedavenealshow8849]

love a saturday dunkies!

[@jyn88]

Tino looks better now than when he was on the show. I thought the pornstache was bad but how come he looks more attractive with it. He seems like a good guy. Best wishes to him!

[@StefanieB22]

Such a great conversation! As always! I'm listening to all the episodes while cleaning and organizing I didn't have time for while wrangling babies.

[@jennyonthecoast]

So agree with his take on Rachel needing time and maturity to settle down

[@Itsallgravybaby777]

I don’t think it’s any of his business

[@luvlivefoods]

Absolutely hate Tino’s mustache but otherwise have always been in his corner.

[@erikapauley7391]

He is definitely going for the fireman look

[@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates]

Team mustache. Always 🙌🏼

[@joannas2533]

Kind of diggin the Steven Seagal evil kung fu look! 😉

[@ThatsMyBlackOpinion]

He looks like he just got out of prison.

[@janetlynn9784]

All the best Tino, go find your surfer girl! 🏄

[@RR-rz3kn]

Tino you were robbed so bad! U really are a nice guy!

[@shannond.5916]

What a refreshing video showing 2 grown men talking about their personal growth journeys in a healthy way. Great to see personal accountability, vulnerability, insight, admission you don't know all the answers, your interests, passions and fears, and willingness to talk about your blind spots. Kudos to you both.

[@nat_sterling]

Such a good interview 🙌💛

[@svllta]

Pls get Jason on! Would love to hear more from him 😍

[@thedavenealshow8849]

ask him, its the only way this works! ;)

[@tasbar7743]

Or Michael A 😄

[@bruce_from_oregon]

BRB shaving down to a mustache

[@sharondevoto9572]

Loved this! We just hear the word narly enough these days!!

[@theashleylindley]

He has wayyyyyy more grace than I would. She intentionally threw him under the bus because her ego was bruised. He's a gem.

[@lovelife9448]

I think Tino was a good man. Yes should he have laid low when they were on a break probably but all in all he is honest and only speaks the truth. Great video

[@lesleywiley4324]

Looking forward to this, but really wanting the Clayton update from your FB post

[@louisechopyak2384]

Another fantastic interview!!

[@mermaid000pranu]

He looks so different. 😮

[@SupernaturalLove100]

He had to shed the trauma his bachelor image held I guess

[@tasbar7743]

I wouldn't have recognized him had Dave not told us lol

[@katiekatboo]

Such an awesome interview! Great job Dave.

[@jodiblanchard5804]

This was my favorite interview Dave. I’ve been waiting to hear something from Tino! I was one of those people who reached out after the finale in support of Tino because I was furious at how dirty they did him. The fact that he loves his job, surfs and not instagram- lol. He is probably my favorite male contestant ever because he’s actually a real person and a straight up man❤️

[@erin07697]

Omg yes Jason next!

[@seven92023]

I don't think Rachel was that much into Tino. I think she picked him in desperation to show that she was over Clayton and because Aven had disappointed her. Then she played it tough for the cameras.

[@sophiaburrell5142]

My take on it is that Rachel was doubtful about picking Tino long before that big fight we saw on TV and because she was the lead, it was safe for everyone to choose her size. I don't think she was genuine.

[@willybilly3366]

Beautiful conversation

[@laurenhathaway496]

Wow what a great guy! Also why didn’t the show present his surfer life, that would have been awesome to see!

[@Craftyjack]

Loved this one.

[@Texan5311]

Great interview. Tino seems like such a gentleman.

[@milwaukeemotor5995]

they were or were not on a break or fight, i'm still confused as to what went wrong with the relationship or why they're not compatible

[@reeree5259]

Wow, Tino demonstrated such mature introspection. Wish him the best 💗

[@lyndakiesler9798]

Loved this interview. It really brought to light that Tino is really just a regular guy trying to do the best he can.

[@CaliQ09]

This was a really good interview. You do such a good job relating to your guest. I enjoyed every minute of it, it was "gnarly" lol.

[@melodyharas6864]

I am now “Team Tino”. Who’s with me? We didn’t get to see this side of him AT ALL! Thanks Dave!

[@francinesanchez5402]

Oooh. And I love his hair!!

[@pammccellon]

When he said he was alone much of the time when his brother was dealing with cancer (from 6th-9th grade) and his parents were gone a lot - it just broke my heart. Tino is a catch. I don’t think Rachel has much empathy and to be in a relationship you have to weigh the good with the bad & there is going to be bad.

[@jannettemorris7540]

Great job Dave and Tino 🎉wonderful podcast ❤

[@jupiterjanes]

Whoo hoooo!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@luvlivefoods]

Tino’s real problem was being attracted to a person , I.e. Rachel, who seems to have major emotional unresolved issues. That’s the only thing he needs to question.

[@Epicgamergorila]

So good Dave 😊

[@tasbar7743]

Dave, where were y'all driving to?? Great interview as always.

[@thedavenealshow8849]

We drove from Newport Beach up the pacific coast highway to Huntington Beach and then back down, just a nice beach loop ;)

[@joanneross5575]

You are so wise Dave

[@kimberlygarza4267]

love this episode 😁

[@happyhaf130]

Wow. Tino seems like such a good guy with amazing perspective.

[@kcpdx]

Haven’t seen him on any social media. Hope he’s ok 😢

[@nancynorton2088]

I just love Tino. He will make some woman VERY happy. I cannot stand Rachel. She came across as high maintenance, mean, and spiteful. I also do not care for Gabby. She seems a bit full of herself. Together, they were insufferable. Wonderful interview, Dave!!

[@EmilyMargaretJo]

Great interview. I wish he had actually answered what "X, Y and Z" was, though

[@janblack4021]

Rachel and Gaby both were SPOILED BRATS. Rachel treated Tino very wrong. I think she also did Zach wrong.

[@susanboss9894]

She’s self-centered and immature.

[@sherriromas5871]

How was Gabby a “spoiled brat”??

[@cheriereuther7037]

Excellent 👌

[@romstar]

Ugh 😣 he's so fine 😍 that's all I got ❤😂

[@venussuki]

It's not fair to judge them. The show sets them up for failure...too much manipulation and interference.

[@One-esa]

He’s looking like a beefy young Freddy Mercury!

[@coffeegirl7528]

Team Tito. Never thought Rachel was serious about getting married, looks like she's just interested in being famous & in social media. Felt she was too clingy & mean to all the guys & only care about herself.

[@sharonthorne6451]

Like the new look tino
