  Speaker 2: Hey guys, welcome back to the Almost Famous podcast. It
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: is Ashley and today I am joined by Jared.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Hi.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, are you so excited to be here?
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: No, I'm very excited to be here. But it's just
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: like my overall nature. I know, I'll talk about things
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: here we go.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Actually, let's start with that. Do you know how I
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: get comments on Instagram being like Jared doesn't look very well,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm happy, but I just have a I'm
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: very people hold on, sorry, people would say that about
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: my entire life, so you know what I mean.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: When I was on people would always say that's true.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Like even on Bachelor, you were always like having that
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: look off. Yeah, you were just looking stressed.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: I'm just very Henry cavill and Man of Steel, Like,
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: you know, it's very neutral.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: So guys, if you see Jared on Instagram and he
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: doesn't look like thrilled to be on my can't run,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: don't worry. That's just his arresting Jared face.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Also, I feel like the majority of the pop relation
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: to the human races like this, it's probably you know,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: It's like I get it. You're very you're authentic, and
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: you're like very smiley, happy, go lucky type of personality.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: But I'm sure a lot of people just fake it
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: on podcast. At least I'm not faking it.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: It's true. Okay, So, hi, Jared's here. We were thinking
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: that we would talk about some stuff that you know,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: we have going on, and then we also are going
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: to talk Bachelor headlines and a little bit of Jared's
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: opinion on the new style of Bachelor and Paradise. He's
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: really thrilled by it, actually, baby, I wish you had seen.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: So he doesn't follow follow listen. Jared only watches one
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: show and that is Seinfeld. So and you guys, you
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: don't even understand. He watches NERD movie Reviewers on YouTube,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: many hours of that and Seinfeld and that is it.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I could never get him to watch five hours of
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Paradise every week. So but he watches in the background
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: like as I'll have it on. And Jared's really good
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: at watching things in the background. He picks up on
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: stuff because you know, he is a movie analyst, so
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: like anything that has to do with the screen he
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: has an opinion on, even if it doesn't watch it
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: like too intently, So I guess, like, let's start there.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: When you were watching in bed the other night with me,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: like you were taken aback by the stylized at it.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I think my overall perspective on Paradise is that it's
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: not it's not it's not Paradise anymore. It's not the
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: same show, and that's done intentionally, and maybe that is
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: for the best.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I don't why would it be for the best. Most
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: of the audience does not like this, according to polls
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: that we've conducted that other fan accounts haven't conducted, and
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Tanner Delbert.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I saw Tanner's pose because I also don't watch Love Island.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I also don't watch a lot of these new dating
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: shows that are crushing it. So perhaps Paradise and the
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Bachelor franchise does need to really change things up to
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: try to move into this new wave and be more
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: like these other dating shows. I don't know. All I
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: can tell you is when I was watching Paradise with
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: you the other night, it's very clearly not the same show,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: and it's done very intentionally that way. In terms of
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: the way the cast is talking to the camera now
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: straight on, it's much more it feels like they're trying
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: to make it much cooler now with everybody, you know.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Everybody's supposed to be so sexy, there's nothing clumsy about them.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: With the music Jill Jill brings a lot of realness
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: to it.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I miss just in terms of the the visuals, the
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: slow motion, the camera work, the music. The show is
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: not I hate saying this, the show is not very funny.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: No, actually, this is what I wish you saw. I
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: was episode three because this is when the Goldens came in,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: and you and I were both not super keen on
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the Goldens coming in. They brought the old school Bachelor
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: in Paradise humor and a big It was just so
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: much more of a lighthearted episode. I told Ben, I
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: was like, I don't know if like they slowed it
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: down intentionally the edit or it just felt slower with
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the older people there, But it definitely Episode three felt
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: more familiar to me.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think listen, as cast members of Paradise, we're
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: all very lucky to be there, and as much like
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: insecurities as I have, as everybody else does have, Like
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: in terms of the general landscape of the world, we
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: should be made fun of, you know, we've had. We
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: had this opportunity to go on this beach and to
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: date other people, and like nobody gets to do this.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: My point in saying that is like the show should
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: make fun of us, Like they should show Ashley talking
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: to a crab or whatever you were talking to.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Like, oh raccoon. Oh no, I had the parrot, Claire
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: had the recoon.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: That's right, and then like or like making me look
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: stupid because I say something dumb or things of that nature,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: because it's funny, because we should be made fun of,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: because it's all in lightheartedness, because at the end of
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: the day, we're so lucky, and I think a lot
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: of the cast members know that, so I guess we'll
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: watching it. They just try to make everybody look so cool,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: and I was like, I get it, They're already cool,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Like I don't need you to try to emphasize that
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: they're cooler than they.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Already aready like in the ninety nine percentile of attractiveness.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: That's what I mean. Like I kind of missed the
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: days even when we were on the show and the
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: show was making fun of us, it was I liked
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: it because it's just kind of like brings everybody back
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: down to earth a little bit, and it's it's just
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: funny and self deprecating, and there was a style to
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Old Paradise. Now, granted, perhaps there needs to be a change.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Maybe this show is not made for us, and that's
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: totally fine. It's really whatever's best for Paradise. And so
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: my opinion is just that it's my opinion. It doesn't
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: mean that it's the best or worst thing for the
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: future of the franchise.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, So I want to just fill you in on
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: what happened that you didn't see, which is when I
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: started to be able to ignore the style and focus
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: on the content. Was when Susie and Justin. You know,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I've rooted on for Susy and Justin. They've had a
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: very similar storyline to you and me. They'd be started
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: out as friends, two wonderful people, and we both liked
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: them very much, and then they came to Paradise as
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: a broken up couple. There was a lot of feelings
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: there and there was like a lot of love still
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: there and it was fun to watch. Now what happened
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: was I just I don't know, do you know what happened? Okay,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: So it's really making the internet buzz right now because
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Lexi was like kind of like she'd gone on a
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: date with Justin. They definitely had shown interesting each other.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: They barely made it. I don't even know that they
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: made out. Remember that scene that you saw where they
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: were making out, because there was that game that made
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: them make out. That was like their only kiss. So
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: that shows you how serious they actually were. Not very
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: in my opinion, not very. She had a lot of
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: reservations about him because she thought he was too fresh
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: out of a relationship to be there. So what happens
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: is he feels so bad about Susie not getting picked,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: like Susie didn't get a rose that week, that he
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: ends up, of course having the last rose to give out,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: and he gives the rose to Susie so she can
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: continue there and he lives and she you know, he
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: had the rose, and then Lexi had to go home,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: except for he was like, I'm going to give this to,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: you know, Susie, and then I'm going to excuse myself.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: That's yeah exactly.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: He leaves. Yeah, people are angry. Lots of people are angry
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: at him for doing this, thinking that he led Lexi on.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: And I was like, I think it was clear that
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Lexi didn't want to be with him.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Dude. I saw one scene with kissing booth and she
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: said you didn't want to kiss.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Her and she was like, this is so awkward, so
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: not me.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, very clear that Lexi was not into Justin yah,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: which again totally fine. Don't give Justin.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: She's given him so much crap online, like.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: I could, I'm team Justin, I know.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I was like, maybe it's just because like I know
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: him more, I know him personally.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Also, it's what's wrong with that move? There's nothing I
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: don't think because maybe if Lexi was into.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Justin, then he would have probably given it to her.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Or why can't they just try to develop something off
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: the show? Did he maybe talk to her about that, saying, hey, listen,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: I'm leaving as well. You know, I'd love to like
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: see if this could happen away from Paradise.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Do you think that that was so you in this
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: situation that we can bring this back to Arcie's in
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: a Paradise you were in not really a similar predicament.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't call that you were in a predicament at all.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: You were like, get the fuck out of here. Actually
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: this is like, that's how I felt because I come in,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: you don't give me that rose though, way yeah right, okay,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I know it's some sort of it's very similar. It's similar.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I'm leading somewhere. Okay, so when I come in and
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Bachelor of Paradise three, I don't get a rose that
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: first rose ceremony, and because you chose to give your
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: rose to Kayla, it's okay, we don't have to talk
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: about that. What happens is it was kind of a
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: produced moment in which I was allowed to go down
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: there and be like, hey, I uh, I really like,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. Basically it is exactly
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: an it, and I was like, can you guys please
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: like forgive me for being a hooligan. Well also like
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: they had no options for me. They had like literally
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: one single guy and that was what's the same from Canada,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Daniel Daniel. Yeah, And then everybody was like, yeah, sure,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: that's fine. So basically Bette and I were being hypocrites
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: yesterday because we're always like, oh, we don't want to
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: see like produced moves, we don't want to see production
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: and you know, fingerprints. But then when justin and Susie
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: both get eliminated within and Susie's only on one episode.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Susie Evans, the winner of Clayton season only gets one
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: episode fan favorite. We were like, uh, we would like
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: some production here. Can she please stay? How can we
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: get her to stay? I thought she was saying, oh,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I didn't clarify this too. She she said,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I can't accept.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: This, so she leaves, and she left. Dude. That's when, yeah,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: producers to be like, yo, you're going to accept it. Relax,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: you're staying. Sus I'm thinking that they did it. She
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: seemed shocked when he offered her that rose. I think
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: she wasn't prepared and that was just herse She wasn't prepared.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: But I bet no producer that now gonna think that
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: she Yeah, she would be, she'd say no, especially after
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Justin said, hey, I'm going to leave. Why would she
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: leave too? Justin's gone.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Well, the thing is, Justin didn't at the podium say
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: that he was going to leave. It was when she
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: rejected the rose that he said I'm going to leave.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Because he had a milk down with Jesse in the room.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: So you're saying that's his biggest flaw.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Well, this is it's kind of all stupid. Not the
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: people involved obviously understand that there's a lot of motions,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: so they're going to make brass decisions.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: The problem is Justin was like, I'm going to eliminate you, Lexi,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to continue to stay here while giving
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: a rose to my exe.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I understand with one with one rose, with one rose
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: not given out Lexi, Justin and Susie all we're allowed
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: to go home? Yes, okay, so that seems a bit
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: It's like, we don't want producers involved unless it's like
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: extenuating circumstances, and this feels like an extenuating circumstance. Not
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: all three of you guys can go home. We need,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: you know, either Susie or Justin to stay one of.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: You two one of the two of them for sure. Now,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: how much do we want to see the two of
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: them interact more? Because their conversations in the episode were
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: the ones that we were so drawn into. Of course,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: there's so much history they actually did, and Joe and
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Kendall were there, and you and I loved watching Joe.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: And Kendall there. Who didn't That's I mean, we watched
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: the show for very real moments like that, and it
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: doesn't get more real than that. Yeah, you know, the
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: idea that Justin Susie were back together in Paradise after
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: a lot of history together being best friends and then
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: dating and then breaking up and then, you know, because
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: as we both know, experiencing breakups, like when you break
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: up with somebody, you're not just breaking up with them,
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: but you're breaking up with everybody that you know, you
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: became friends with. It's it's an awkward situation. So the
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: idea of reuniting those two after so much history on
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: the beach is very compelling. But I understand why one
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: of them would have to go home. I think it
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: was the healthiest thing for both of them. One of
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: them goes home, and I think that one would have
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: been Justin. Yeah, so I'm shocked that Susie is gone.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Well, so, I mean, it's kind of funny. This podcast
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: isn't meant to recap for somebody who hasn't seen it.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: But what's really interesting is I thought, oh, here comes
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: the production move because Jeremy went on a date with Susie,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: but he ended up giving his rose to Bailey a
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: day later. Bailey says yes to a date with Andrew Spencer,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: and you love Andrew Andrew and now when he when
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: she does this, Jeremy calls. He calls Susie in the
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: interview room and says, hey, I made a mistake. I
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: want you to come back. And I was like, oh,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: this is the way in, this is the way to
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: get Susie back, in to which she said, I'm at
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: the airport. I don't I don't think it's good for
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: me to come back.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Well, I understand why Susie wouldn't come back. Yeah, why
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: can't Andrew be the bachelor?
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: He could be? Put it out there, yeah, and this
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: so wonderful.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: It's like Dale is fine.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: You know who would make you happy to watch every week?
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Andrew with his jolly smile. It's adorable.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: He's just so endearing, so sweet. Yeah, why can't Andrew
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: be the bachelor?
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: You keep putting it out there. I think Dale doesn't
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: seem like an option at all. All Dale has to me,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: it's a really pretty face. And he still to me
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: comes across as like am I wrong? And say, I
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: don't think he's a villain, but I think he's regarded
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: as a bachelor villain. Yeah right, I mean I don't
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: think he's a villain this person. I just think that
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: he's not regarded as like somebody that like people would
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: necessarily like.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: I think he's just very straight laced, which is not
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: a batchel lace.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: No, I think I think about him.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: I've been watching I'm just seeing like.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: No, Jared, I'm just thinking about his history with Claire,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Like I just feel like.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's like what is he he's a model
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: now model.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he does.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: I see him sometimes I'll like be perusing Amazon for
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: like sports, and I'm like, is that Dale modeling this
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: shirt on Amazon?
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Right now? It's not me having a It's just like
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I felt that Claire was played, I guess, And I'm
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: always going to be a defender of Claire. Yeah, because
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: he proposed her, right, Jared, they were together and they
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: were talking bait.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: No, I remember that. But they didn't leave boyfriend girlfriend,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: they left engage. H Yeah, there's no shot Dale knew.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: There's no shot that Dale proposed that moment thinking like, oh,
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: this is my wife. Okay, so that doesn't Claire is
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: the best, you know what I mean? So I agree.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: I'm team Claire on that one, because it's like, bro,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: you knew, like there's no shot, no shot. Sorry, I
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: don't believe you.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: So that's why I feel like Dale couldn't be Bachelor
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: because there's just too much suspicion about there, you know,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: just too much suspicion around him.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: For me, well, it's for honestly, it's also whoever's gonna
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: make the best TV? I mean, at the end of
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: the day, of course, you want this to work. We
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: all want this to work. But like you know, the
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: most important thing is an entertaining product for the show,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: for your guy, for you guys, for everybody.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: So are we saying in this conversation that sometimes we
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: feel like production does need to make moves to make
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: great TV?
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: Of course, I mean, who's naive enough to think that,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: like there'd be very little drama because it's one thing.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing, and it's it's natural. It's very natural
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: for human beings when faced with conflict, to try to
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: avoid it, just avoid it. Yeah, exactly, like we would
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: walk away from scenarios if we face with that right now.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: But it's like, so if what we want to see
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: just people walk away from each other and then like
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: cooler heads prevail later on. I mean that doesn't sound
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: very entertaining or do you want them? It's not like
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: producers like tell people to say, but it's like, if
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: you're forced to face that conflict, that is compelling stuff. Yeah,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: and if you're not forced to face it, then I mean,
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: what do we watching.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: The way that I always describe Bachelor, especially Bachelor in Paradise,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: is that it's very much hunger games. Ask like you
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: are you have your free will in the arena, but
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: like there are people on the outside of the arena like.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're sending jaguars exactly, sending.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Things in Yeah, okay, well you know what, You're gonna
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: be so jealous of that. I just want to like
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: touch on you. They had this big ad integration for
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I know what you did last summer?
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: I saw that do it and jessin Palmer do something together.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Oh no, this is like was like integrated into Paradise.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Oh that's cool.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, like in the mirror. And then like
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: he went up to Welles and he was like, what
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: did I do last summer? And then like he was
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: like we weren't here.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Did somebody say, what are you waiting?
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: For No, I have to watch the original again before.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: I haven't. I've only seen it once and it was
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: your nineties Ryan Philippi face yeah, great face, great face,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: great face, great face, and great face.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Philipp is the man I know he did last summer
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: cruel intentions. I wanted to name one of our sons Sebastian,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: And I hate the name of Sebastian.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Love the name Sebastian.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: You only love it the because of his role.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Why do you love Dawson? No, I love the.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Sound of Dawson.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: I love the sound of Sebastian.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah you do. I know only the sound of Sebastian.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: I think of the crab. That's like, you wouldn't let
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: me name it. Well you didn't. You thought Dominic the donkey,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: and I think a Sebash and the crab. Okay, So
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: did you hear about the money being involved. Yeah, we
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: don't really know the money thing yet. There was teas
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: at the end of episode one, but it hasn't been
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: directly brought up again yet. So my thoughts is that
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: it won't be brought up again until the end when
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: it's time, you know, how like the week where it's
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: like you either break up or you get engaged. I
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: think now it's going to be you either break up,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: get engaged, or get half a million dollars. And we
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: were joking and this is maybe like forget half million
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: dollars if you break up. Yeah, I think that you
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: have to. Yeah, I think you money. That's just with
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: the speculation, Jared. It's the speculation.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Use money every day and then you leave and then
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: you get to the person like, hey, let's go out
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: to a really nice dinner, dude.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: That's what I said. That's why this isn't even gonna
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: make any sense. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. So
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: maybe it won't turn out to be that way.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I just I don't like. My gut
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: reaction is I don't like the introduction of any type
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: of financial prize in this show.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: It could be a big tease. There's so many false cheeses.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: There was like in my season of Bachelor, there was
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: a pregnancy test that was in the cheezer that never
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: got address.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's different than alluding to some sort of
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: cash prize at the end of this. Yeah, it would
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: be weird if they introduce that and never do anything
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: with it. I'd be it would be weird. So I'm
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: assuming money plays a role at some point. Maybe it
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: has something to do with the Goldens, not the we
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: that could be, not the younger cast, but that would
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: make more Yeah, give them the money. Yeah that kind
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: of I like that. Give them the money.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Hmm. All right, they passed.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Down to the grand kids.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, sounds good. All right, well let's get into Bachelor
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Nation headlines. Sam McKinley and Allie Joe, who we both
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: have seen already get eliminated from Bachelor in Paradise this season,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: are sparking romance rumors. During the time on the show,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Sam went on a date with Jess we know it
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: didn't work out, and Ali was like kind of talking
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: to dyl and Jonathan and both Sam and Ali both
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: went home. But this week Sam posted a story where
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: you can see a woman's hand holding up a drink
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: and showing off her bright red manicure. That manicure matches
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Allie Joe's and her instagram's story, in which she captioned
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: keeping the main thing the main thing, which Sam is
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: famous for saying on gen season, and to add fuel
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: to these soft launch rumors before going on Bachelor in Paradise.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Sam told Joe and Serena on Happy Hour the podcast
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: that he wanted to see Ali Joe there, I would say,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: this is a thing.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: You know what all I can think about while you're
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: reading the entire story, it's I I gotta get off
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: social media. I got I gotta stay. I gotta spend
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: more less time on this thing. Like I can't what
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: are we even talking about? What is this?
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: This makes perfect sense to me.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Great, And obviously I'm coming on it from a different,
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: whole different angle, and you are right. I am wrong.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I am on the almost famous podcast, like.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: I think this is a this is a couple in
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: the making.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, great, cool. Yeah, But it was just like one
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: of those things like I was reading it or you
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: were reading it. I was listening, and like you see
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: a hand and then there's a real thing and then
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: keep the main thing.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: We're doing online.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: I was like, what are we doing? What? What not?
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: What are we doing? What am I doing? What am
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: I doing? Anyway? Congratulations to the new company.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, get off social media and start watching more TV
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: shows with me, please? All right, So Alex Cooper's new
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: show Love Overboard has announced its host. We were speculating
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: this last week because we saw Gabby Windley's whereabouts on
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: social media and it was announced this week that she
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: will be the host of Hulu's new dating show, produced
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: by Alex Cooper's Unwell Productions. Love over Board is going
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: to debut on Hulu in twenty twenty six and Disney
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Plus internationally. We have some friends working on the show
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: as part of this family, and it makes sense to
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: us as to why Gabby might have been picked to
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: be the host of this show because one the people
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: that we know producing this show have ties to Gabby
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: because aka, she was the Bachelorette and then also her
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: season on The Traders definitely like gave her a burst, Yeah,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: big boost, big boost. And she's good with gameplay. We
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: know that, and so if this dating show has anything
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: to do with well love and gameplay, she is a
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: good choice. In the show, we're gonna see singles chase
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: a possible love partner while sailing aboard a luxury yacht.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: The show synopsis says this, As the journey unfolds, romance ignites,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: alliance's form and hearts are shattered. In the end, only
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: one couple will reign supreme. Who will rise to the
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: top and he'll be left stranded. I mean that makes sense.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: It makes total sense for Gabby to be hosting it. Yeah,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: combination of love and traders.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Obviously, I just go back to what is close to
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: us and it just, yeah, it makes me. I hope
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: I'm in the minority with this Paradise season. Granted I
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: haven't watched a lot of it, but I hope that
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: people are liking it a lot more.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: What does this have to do with anything, because.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: It just feels like, here we go another dating show,
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Gabby's the host. It's by Alex Cooper, like streaming on Hulu. Like,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: you know, obviously there's only so much attention span for
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: people out there, so it's like if there is a
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: big supply within this dating reality show market, it's like,
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: oh man, they're adding another show and it asks Gabby
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: as the lead, and like we know certain people producing it,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: and like obviously we're going to support it because we
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: know the people that are working on it, which is wonderful.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: But it's like, you know, I just hope that Paradise
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: is keeping up. So anyway, that's my thoughts, because this
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: show is going to crush it. I mean it's Alex
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: Cooper just like anything this woman touches is killing it.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Gabby's just huge right now, we know some of the
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: people working on it, and there's extremely talented a dating
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: show on a boat, and then also what Bachelors are.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: But what Bachelor had going or for so long and
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: still does is the engagement. Yeah, like they have the
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: rights own. I think they're the only show that it
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: can end in engagement, really, I think so. I think
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: that's why no other show ends in an engagement. Wow,
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: So I think Bachelor is the only one that can
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: do that, which really separates it from other dating shows.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Having said that, because there's so many engagements that just
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: end literally months after the show, the engagement doesn't have
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: the weight that I used to. So it's kind of like,
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: is there a difference between people leaving together on a
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: different show or being engaged on Paradise? I don't really see.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: It, especially since so many married couples from Paradise did
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: not get engaged on the show.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Uh, who else in Paradise you meet?
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: You meet Adam Raven, Kevin and Astrod.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Adam Raven didn't get No, wasn't it like on the
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: post show the after show. No, No, Yeah, who else
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Kevin and Astrod, Yeah, they didn't get engaged, and so I.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Think that I might be missing I might be missing one.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Tannor and Jay got engaged.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, I know, there's a lot that did get engaged.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: But oh Becca, Becca, oh Koofer, yeah, oh Thomas Yeah yeah.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: So that's four of like the eight didn't even get
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: engaged in the show. Actually had like sometimes fake breakups.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean we got engaged in the show.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's not be too specific. It's just the stakes
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: that they put on make.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: It too you know, get a lot of pressure. Yeah, pressure, Okay.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Moving on Lettia gar You know, as we know from
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Grant season, she sparked engagement rumors throughout the past week
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: or so. She was celebrating a bachelorette party. There were
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: things that were like headlines with her saying she was
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: headed down the aisle. This past weekend, she in bachelornation BFFs.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: They were united in Utah, and the gathering like had
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: put fans into just like a tizzy because they were
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: saying that they were celebrating Lattia's bachelorette party and we're
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: all finking, how did this girl get engaged so fast.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: She met a guy and got engagees fast. We were
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: all excited for the hard launch for the with the
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Fiance Fiance. There was a sign that said, welcome to
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Latia's Bachelorette. And guess what it was all the lead
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: up for a brand deal with this this thing called
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: it's like a frozen like a popsicle. It's called true
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Frew which you gotta get it. You gotta get an
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: ad with them. Jared's the biggest popsicle guy. Uh yeah,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: so the brand deal, it was walking down the freezer aisle.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Huh you want to see it?
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: No, here she is, Yes, she looks great.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, oh that's funny.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: She goes cool now, yes, why is that? Was that
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: her thing? Come on now?
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Just like so literally she was the front ridder of
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: the This is so funny that Jared doesn't know what
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: he's I mean, I know who she is clearly, No,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: I know you do, but like you don't know the
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: come on now. So she was the front under the
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: entire time. It was so clear that like this feelings
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: seemed deeper for her. And then when he was breaking
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: up with her, she was like, come on now, come
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: on now, come on, she was just hilarious. Yeah, it
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: was a really good ad.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Now the question is how far would we go for
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: a brand deal?
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, what are you guys offering.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: We would? Well, this is fun. This is not like
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: I would of course do this as a single girl.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: That's so cute. That's a funny idea. Yeah, there's no
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: shame in this game, No, no.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Shame at all. I remember I saw somebody I know
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: post like give to Hannah Anne her pregnancy announcement, the
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: gender or something. She clearly had like product placement in it.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Really we have the same age.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: And then somebody I know on Facebook, like one of
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: my mom's friends, like screenshot it and circled him and
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: was like, oh how disgusting And it's like yeah what
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: good guy? Like good god? Yeah, no, no, no, trust me.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: I'm sure that if you were not offered Bunny to
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: post a picture like that, you guys never would obviously.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, anyway, what if I guess.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: The fun question here is would we fake a divorce
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: for a week? You know, trible in paradise headlines? Will
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: we do that in order to get a for a
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: brand deal? That you would have to be breaking glass
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: or whatever the heck, breaking the hell knows. I'm just
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: thinking of.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: If Benny Brand has ideas for that, just reach out
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: to us and will decide that will we'll make the
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: decision the right how much money you willing to offer?
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: There's a price for everything.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Jared initially was going to say, like no, because you
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: wouldn't want to like freak the kids out, but the
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: kids wouldn't know, but you wouldn't want the kids to
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: like research us at some point and then like all
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: leading to a brand.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, as long as it was in h and tongue
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: in cheek, you know, I think, because you know, we
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: could talk to Dawson and Hayden later, like listen, guys,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: it was it was a joke.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, you get to go to college. It's
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: always the you get to go to college line.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because we both I think Ashley and I both
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: have sense of humors, more so me, but like a
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: little bit of a dark sense of humor where it's
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: like we can joke about those things. And I do
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: think Dawson and Hayden Walls have a very similar sense
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: of humor because I can already sense, I can already
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: see Dawson.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: He's definitely a ballbuster.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. He already like looks at us with like a
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: side I know, and he's like.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: I know that if we were all in the joke together,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: it would be fine.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right. Well the final headline, Becca Tilly and
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Hailey Kyoko get engaged in Spain after they've been together
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: for seven years. They started dating like the same season
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: that you and I started dating. It was spring two

• 31:06
  Speaker 2: gorgeous that I literally have. When we were at Tanya's wedding, yep,
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: I was like stressed by how like obsessed they are
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: with each other still like seven years in Like don't
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: you think that they like literally look at each other
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: the stars in their eyes. Still, I still look at
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: you like.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: That, you know, not in a bad way, But they
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: come off as a very like of course they're madly
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: in life.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: There are you kidding me? They're like obsessed with each other.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: They like can't like let each other's hands go.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: I could see I could see them like kind of
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: busting each other balls a little bit like couples do
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: when they're like dating five or six years, and you know,
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: sure like Hailey rolls her eyes, you know, like something
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: Becka does. But that's adorable, obviously, that's the whole purposeful
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: of changes love of alls as time goes on. Yeah,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Hailey's the best. I got to know Haley a lot
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: better at Dean and Kaylen's wedding and we really bonded.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: I mean I was always friendly with her, but yeah,
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: she's wonderful, just wonderful. And Becca is uh, yeah, Becca's
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: just so down to earth. She really is a grounded person,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: as you would say.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: They're both just so special. Yeah, wonderful, they're wonderful energies
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: and lights. And I know that our producer Easton was
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: us already talked to the two of them on their
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: podcast Scrubbing In. So, Easton, is there anything you can
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: add from your episode that we wouldn't know from all
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: the headlines?
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: The two things that stuck out to me most. It's
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: such a beautiful story, but I'm trying to get through
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: that crying. I got really emotional of them there sayings.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: But we asked, becha, like what did Haley say when
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: she popped the question, and she said that. Haley got
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: down one knee and said, I will always protect you
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: and I will always keep you safe. And just thinking
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: about everything that Beca's been through, with her being who
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: she is and coming from the world she's from, hearing
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: those words were really powerful to me. And then the
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: other thing I really really appreciated was that they didn't
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: notice at the time, but Hailey proposed on a nude beach,
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: so they're surrounded by just swinging penises. Yeah, they got
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: when she dropped Awndy, which I just if you haven't
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: seen the photos on their Instagram, it's they're so lovely,
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: but like just out of frames's just like a bunch
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: of naked people.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: That's hilarious. There's so much emotion in the engagement pictures.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: I think there's something very poetic about Haley and Becca
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: getting engaged while being surrounded by swinging penises. You know,
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: it's almost the perfect scenario that does.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Make some sort of poetic sense.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: Yes, it really is. We're so happy for them and
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: I'm so excited for the future.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, so what about the fact that Becca has to
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: now propose to Haley at some point, because that was
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: like kind of their deal. Right, that is.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: Their deal's coming. And I keep saying, how funny will
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: it be if Haley says no, that's an option.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Well, we're so happy for them, and so is Becca's
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: best friend, Jojo Fletcher. She actually flew like twelve hours.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: She said, she flew thirteen hours across country to surprise
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: her and they were only there for twelve hours until
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: they had to turn back around. But she's so happy
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: that they were got to celebrate at their little intimate
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: engagement dinner, just another special thing that Haley put together
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: for Becca. Surprised her with all of her best friends.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Once they came back from Spain. All right, well, Jared,
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: now it's time for our headline. It's not that you guys,
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: it's not that headlining. There was one headline. I was like, oh,
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: that's cool. So we are producing an indie TV pilot.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: It's called Two Romantics, so it's like a rom com.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna let Jared talk about it because he is,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: you know, his goal in life would be to be
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: some of producer director, and this is like his first
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: step into that world.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: So this production company called Madhouse Films reached out to
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Ashley and I and they were producing a TV pilot,
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: a short film directed by this girl, Italia light Rake,
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: who had done work with Ashley before, which is why
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: they reached out. And they were looking for executive producers
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: to help finance the film, and so they sent me
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: the script. They sent me a pitch deck of what
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: the show would be about, how they would pitch networks,
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: what overall vibe was going to be. I got to
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: zoom with the owners of Mad House Films and Talia
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: as well, and I really fell in love with the script.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: It's the story of a micro influencer named Sam who
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: has like little less one hundred thousand followers and then
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: she gets kind of like a little bit of a
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: big break. She's trying to be a musician, where this
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: influencer named Mac who's kind of like this, you know,
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: douchebag early twenties influencer trying to be a musician as
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: well now like make real music, ends up seeing a
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: video of her, he asked to work with her. They collaborate.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like a will they won't they, But
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: there's definitely a little bit of a dark side to it.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: And I really enjoyed the script. I thought it was
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: very smart. I thought, I think it's a good commentary
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: on today's I think it's good commentary on today's influencer
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: world and also public relationships. So I'm excited about it.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: We got to go to set they filmed in New York,

• 36:29
  Speaker 3: to meet the entire cast and crew. We were there
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: for the whole day. I think Talia is an incredibly
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: talented director with a great eye, and I really enjoy
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: working with Madhouse. They are up and coming. They actually
• 36:43

• 36:54
  Speaker 3: feel very excited about working with Madhouse on this. I

  Speaker 3: to film festivals, and then she's also writing a full
• 37:25
