Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
0:03
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
0:06
Speaker 2: It's the almost Famous podcast. I'm here today with my
0:10
Speaker 2: good friend Trista. Hello, Trista. We are here in San Francisco.
0:16
Speaker 2: We spent yesterday at Radio Row in the Super Bowl.
0:20
Speaker 2: Today we are sitting in the podcast studios, newly built,
0:25
Speaker 2: very beautiful in San Francisco. But there's been a lot
0:29
Speaker 2: happening in Bachelor Nation recently, and we've got a lot
0:32
Speaker 2: of news to bring your way. Trista is here with
0:34
Speaker 2: us today to be our resident expert break down everything happening.
0:39
Speaker 2: We're gonna start with a big one, A big.
0:42
Speaker 3: One that was actually a lot of people were talking
0:46
Speaker 3: about it last night.
0:47
Speaker 2: A lot of people were talking about a lot of opinions.
0:49
Speaker 2: I have my own. I know, Trista, you have your own.
0:52
Speaker 2: But the overall I think feeling is excitement and curiosity.
0:58
Speaker 2: Chris Harrison to host trade aditional marriage dating show nearly
1:02
Speaker 2: five years after Bachelor exit. Trista tell us about it.
1:07
Speaker 2: We'll talk about it.
1:08
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean, honestly, I feel like nobody I saw
1:12
Speaker 3: yesterday was everyone was talking about it, and I think
1:17
Speaker 3: because it's a bit controversial, and I think the only
1:22
Speaker 3: reason that it's controversial. I mean, clearly Chris knows dating shows.
1:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's pretty good.
1:29
Speaker 4: But because of what.
1:32
Speaker 3: The tagline or the caption about the announcement was, and
1:38
Speaker 3: it basically said not basically, this is what it said,
1:42
Speaker 3: A prominent streaming service is casting single men and women
1:46
Speaker 3: twenty one plus who want a traditional marriage, minded partnership
1:51
Speaker 3: built on commitment and shared values. We're looking for singles
1:55
Speaker 3: who believe in clear roles. And I think that was
1:59
Speaker 3: part of the controversy, long term commitment in building a
2:03
Speaker 3: life together and who are dating with real intention. Now
2:06
Speaker 3: I don't see the controversy in most of that ninety
2:09
Speaker 3: nine percent of that statement I don't see, but the
2:12
Speaker 3: clear roles part. Someone commented, what the heck does that mean?
2:18
Speaker 3: I feel like what people are wondering is if it
2:22
Speaker 3: is promoting women staying at home and cooking dinner and
2:27
Speaker 3: you know, like that kind of like clear role or
2:31
Speaker 3: is it just saying in my mind saying it could
2:35
Speaker 3: be clear roles, Like you know, I'm going to be
2:39
Speaker 3: a firefighter, Ryan, I'm going to be a stay at
2:42
Speaker 3: home work and work mom. I'm going to make the dinners, Ryan,
2:46
Speaker 3: I'm going to take the kids to school, Like, are.
2:49
Speaker 4: Those the clear roles or are they?
2:50
Speaker 3: Are we going back to the fifties and kind of
2:53
Speaker 3: that more quote unquote traditional marriage.
2:57
Speaker 2: Well, a couple things here. Yeah, as you said, Chris
3:01
Speaker 2: Harrison knows dating shows. There was no language used in
3:06
Speaker 2: this announcement that was not on purpose. Right. And if
3:12
Speaker 2: there's controversy, there's conversation, yep. And conversation is great for
3:18
Speaker 2: the promotion of a show, right yep. Now here's the
3:21
Speaker 2: other thing. And I think you and I can speak
3:23
Speaker 2: to this because we know Chris so well. Look at
3:25
Speaker 2: his own marriage, right totally.
3:27
Speaker 4: I said that all night last night.
3:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at his own marriage. Lauren works, he works,
3:33
Speaker 2: she runs her race, He runs his race.
3:36
Speaker 3: Yep.
3:37
Speaker 2: I and I don't know this to be a fact,
3:42
Speaker 2: but my assumption and what I would stand pretty firm on,
3:45
Speaker 2: is when they say clear roles, it's more in the
3:48
Speaker 2: lines of what you were saying, where, Hey, this is
3:51
Speaker 2: a traditional relationship in the sense that we are looking
3:54
Speaker 2: for a man and a woman today. They're both going
3:57
Speaker 2: to have their separate interests and hobbies. You know, could
4:01
Speaker 2: there may maybe have been a little more like clarification
4:03
Speaker 2: to that in the caption when they announced it. Sure,
4:06
Speaker 2: but but then we wouldn't be talking about it like this.
4:11
Speaker 2: A couple other things. I think a lot of people
4:15
Speaker 2: are going to be so excited to see Chris host
4:17
Speaker 2: a show again on their television. I think, as you said,
4:22
Speaker 2: ninety nine percent this, I don't see any problem with, right. Yeah,
4:25
Speaker 2: they're they're obviously casting for something looks like similar to
4:29
Speaker 2: what The Bachelor has casted for. Right, there's a man,
4:32
Speaker 2: there's a woman they date. You know, a woman is
4:36
Speaker 2: dating a bunch of men. A man is dating a
4:38
Speaker 2: bunch of women. I don't know if that's the setup
4:41
Speaker 2: for this show. It seems more like it's almost like
4:43
Speaker 2: a matchmaking kind of thing, where like they're bringing two
4:46
Speaker 2: people together that they seem could work. But this is big.
4:53
Speaker 2: We haven't seen Chris Harrison on our televisions since twenty
4:57
Speaker 2: twenty one. It's twenty twenty six. It's five years of
5:01
Speaker 2: a host who America grew up with, loved and recognized.
5:06
Speaker 2: At one point was probably one of the more famous
5:08
Speaker 2: people in the United States of America. He has been
5:12
Speaker 2: off our televisions. Yeah, and he's coming back. I don't
5:17
Speaker 2: know who with a prominent streaming service. But I would
5:21
Speaker 2: have to imagine if Chris is going to say yes
5:23
Speaker 2: to doing another show, he's got to believe this is
5:26
Speaker 2: going to be a hit. Well, yeah, he wouldn't do
5:28
Speaker 2: it otherwise, he would not do it otherwise, he doesn't
5:30
Speaker 2: need to do it otherwise. No, I think what we
5:33
Speaker 2: need to do because in today's world, right we can.
5:37
Speaker 2: I think we're looking for reasons to get upset. Yeah,
5:40
Speaker 2: and sometimes they're justified and sometimes they're not. I think
5:43
Speaker 2: when we look at this, let's assume that they're not
5:48
Speaker 2: like looking for like a show that it takes us
5:50
Speaker 2: back to the nineteen fifties. Yeah, it just doesn't make sense.
5:53
Speaker 2: It wouldn't. It wouldn't be accurate to his life. So
5:57
Speaker 2: how can he host a show where like, you cook,
6:00
Speaker 2: you clean, I'll go to work every day, make sure
6:02
Speaker 2: you make me a drink when I get home. Like
6:03
Speaker 2: that doesn't make sense in his world, So why would
6:05
Speaker 2: it make sense on television?
6:06
Speaker 3: I totally agree. I think that would be a big
6:09
Speaker 3: discussion in their house.
6:10
Speaker 2: I don't think it would go over. But Chris Harrison
6:14
Speaker 2: is hosting a new dating show nearly five years after
6:18
Speaker 2: Bachelor exit. Stay tuned for the announcement of when the
6:21
Speaker 2: show will air. But if you're out there looking for
6:24
Speaker 2: a relationship, maybe this is the show for you. Speaking
6:27
Speaker 2: of relationships, we've obviously followed Nick and Natalie along the
6:32
Speaker 2: headlines here recently as they announced they're hosting a show
6:36
Speaker 2: on Netflix that will be coming out very soon. They
6:39
Speaker 2: also had a big announcement this week Trista where they're
6:42
Speaker 2: expecting twins. I don't understand what this means, so you
6:46
Speaker 2: have to explain it to me. I just don't know.
6:48
Speaker 2: Rainbow babies. I don't know what that is.
6:50
Speaker 3: I literally was going to ask you. I know I've heard.
6:53
Speaker 3: I think it's when you've had a loss, like a miscarriage, okay,
6:58
Speaker 3: and after the miscarriage or I don't know if it
7:01
Speaker 3: includes infertility struggles or fertility struggles, and then if you
7:07
Speaker 3: have a rainbow baby, like we struggled with getting pregnant
7:10
Speaker 3: for two years and then we got pregnant with Max.
7:13
Speaker 3: So I don't know if Max is technically called a
7:16
Speaker 3: rainbow baby because we didn't suffer a miscarriage before, but
7:20
Speaker 3: I believe it's because So that's in reference.
7:23
Speaker 2: To obviously other things have been public about they've had
7:27
Speaker 2: three miscarriages over the last year. I mean, this has
7:30
Speaker 2: been something they've been really trying to build and grow
7:34
Speaker 2: their family, and goodness gracious, now they're having twins. I mean, what, like,
7:39
Speaker 2: just I can't imagine finding out I'm having twins, or
7:43
Speaker 2: like the Jess is having twins. But like that's I mean,
7:47
Speaker 2: it still sets me back. And I thought I was
7:49
Speaker 2: ready to have a second and I'm like, oh, gosh, twins.
7:52
Speaker 2: That sounds wild totally, But tell us a little more
7:56
Speaker 2: about this. Obviously, they're expanding their family.
7:59
Speaker 3: So Natalie said, our rainbow babies are finally ready to
8:03
Speaker 3: join us, and this time it's twins. She and Nick
8:08
Speaker 3: wrote in a joint caption. They have really sweet photos
8:11
Speaker 3: with their two year old daughter River, sitting on Nick's
8:15
Speaker 3: hip wearing a cute little sweater saying big sister. I mean,
8:19
Speaker 3: I love all the goodly announcements. They're so cute and
8:23
Speaker 3: honestly so happy for them. I cannot imagine experiencing three
8:29
Speaker 3: miscarriages in one year, let alone ever, and then to
8:36
Speaker 3: be blessed with the news that you're having twins.
8:38
Speaker 2: Wow, it's uh, I'm laughing, only because when you just
8:43
Speaker 2: still say twins. I just whoa as well? I saw. Actually,
8:49
Speaker 2: I was kind of processing this as we prepared for today,
8:52
Speaker 2: and we're so happy for them and anybody if the
8:55
Speaker 2: announcements do get me every time. And I was again
8:57
Speaker 2: processing the idea of having twins and what that would
8:59
Speaker 2: be like, and what my house would look like and
9:02
Speaker 2: all these things. I was like putting myself in that scenario.
9:04
Speaker 2: I was like, this seems so wild. And then I
9:06
Speaker 2: saw saw and I remembered Arilindyke and Lauren. Yes they
9:10
Speaker 2: had twins. Yes, And I saw Ari had commented twins
9:13
Speaker 2: of the best, which is all really you need to
9:16
Speaker 2: hear that, Like especially I think as you're preparing for
9:19
Speaker 2: is like, not only can we do this, they're great? Yes,
9:23
Speaker 2: that's fun. So congratulations to Nick and Natalie again on
9:27
Speaker 2: their announcement. NODU date was announced, but I did see
9:30
Speaker 2: on Instagram that she had commented I think walking into
9:33
Speaker 2: like brunch or something, that she's very pregnant.
9:36
Speaker 4: So got it.
9:38
Speaker 3: So they waited a little bit longer, maybe the uh
9:41
Speaker 3: and with twins she's going to show a little more.
9:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, again wild. I thought it was crazy when one
9:48
Speaker 2: was in there so many things happening inside your body.
10:03
Speaker 2: The Bachelor Mansion. We mentioned the show a few months
10:06
Speaker 2: ago when it was announced, but now we have a trailer.
10:09
Speaker 2: The Bachelor Mansion is uh is in rough shape right now?
10:13
Speaker 2: Or it was as of like not anymore? Well, oh
10:17
Speaker 2: you were just there. Does it look nice?
10:18
Speaker 4: Well, because we did the oh yeah.
10:21
Speaker 2: You've seen it all. You've got the sneak cakes. It's goodness.
10:25
Speaker 2: Trista is sitting on a lot of info here. HGTV
10:29
Speaker 2: trailer was revealed and it shows some contestants that we
10:33
Speaker 2: know and love from the show showing up to the
10:35
Speaker 2: mansion for the renta, which was needed. I think anybody
10:39
Speaker 2: that was there a year ago could have said, hey,
10:42
Speaker 2: this house need a little makeover. Yeah it was. I
10:45
Speaker 2: remember coming off the show, Trista and I waited a
10:49
Speaker 2: year and then I was in a conversation with maybe
10:51
Speaker 2: Ashley about the mansion and how wonderful it is and
10:54
Speaker 2: how like memory, how many memories we have there. But
10:58
Speaker 2: I remember it not being great like and it's not
11:00
Speaker 2: a bad house. Goodness, it's a mansion and it's not
11:02
Speaker 2: like I kind of live there. It was just torn
11:05
Speaker 2: up from years and years and years of the show
11:07
Speaker 2: years and years of furniture coming in and out. There's
11:09
Speaker 2: a family that lives there full time, so everything that
11:12
Speaker 2: they owned had to be removed all the time.
11:14
Speaker 3: Yeah.
11:14
Speaker 2: And then when I was filming, I remember the doors
11:17
Speaker 2: and windows being open all the time, so you have
11:20
Speaker 2: critters coming in and out of that house.
11:22
Speaker 4: Oh heck.
11:22
Speaker 3: Yeah.
11:23
Speaker 2: Uh. It just needed like it needed some love. Yeah. Uh,
11:28
Speaker 2: And this I think is going to be a great
11:29
Speaker 2: way to do it.
11:29
Speaker 4: It's a great way to do it.
11:31
Speaker 3: I just am taking it so personally that I was
11:34
Speaker 3: not asked to be a part of it in any way.
11:36
Speaker 3: So Ryan and I did a pilot called Rocky Mountain
11:39
Speaker 3: Renault for HGTV. Yeah, and come on, like, I mean, please,
11:46
Speaker 3: do I have an interior design degree? No, but I
11:49
Speaker 3: love design, and I'm I'm like, oh, that would have
11:52
Speaker 3: been so much fun. And anyway, I mean, I've talked
11:55
Speaker 3: to Joan a lot and Tasha because we were both
11:58
Speaker 3: at the mansion. So and Tyler Cameron are the hosts,
12:03
Speaker 3: and there's a competition with people including Joan. We've got
12:10
Speaker 3: Jill Chen, We've got Dean Bell, We've got Courtney Robertson,
12:14
Speaker 3: We've got Sandra and Sam Alisha.
12:20
Speaker 4: So many people are.
12:21
Speaker 3: Competing, and they they're competing for the chance to win
12:25
Speaker 3: one hundred grand at the end of this.
12:27
Speaker 2: Not a small amount of money, no I'm looking at
12:30
Speaker 2: I mean one hundred percent. It would have been a
12:31
Speaker 2: home run to have you and Ryan there. But we
12:35
Speaker 2: do have some you know. Joan obviously is a part
12:37
Speaker 2: of this, as you mentioned, she's on the show. Jojo Fletcher,
12:41
Speaker 2: Rachel Bilson, Nate Burkis, Christina Hack and Sean Low kind
12:47
Speaker 2: of come in and do guest appearances. I out of this.
12:51
Speaker 2: I mean, I think this is an all star list
12:53
Speaker 2: of people. It really is, from Dean to Jill to
12:57
Speaker 2: Noah to Joan. But one of the people I love
13:02
Speaker 2: so much goodness. I think she's fantastic. As Courtney Robertson.
13:06
Speaker 2: I know all these people's backgrounds when it comes to
13:09
Speaker 2: either interior design or construction. I don't know Courtney's. She's
13:14
Speaker 2: she's a realtor, so that makes sense, Okay. Most of
13:18
Speaker 2: everybody on this list has some type of association with
13:22
Speaker 2: homes homes of some kind.
13:24
Speaker 3: Yeah.
13:25
Speaker 2: The Bachelor Mansion takeover fro Merrs on Monday, March second,
13:28
Speaker 2: at eight pm Eastern time on HGTV, and then each
13:33
Speaker 2: new episode will be available to stream the next day
13:35
Speaker 2: on HBO, Max and Discovery Plus. I think it's gonna
13:39
Speaker 2: be so much fun. The only problem is they can
13:42
Speaker 2: never do it again, like on'd you do it once?
13:45
Speaker 2: It's over right, he's done so well.
13:48
Speaker 4: I don't know.
13:48
Speaker 3: I mean, they could redo it again and again and again,
13:51
Speaker 3: but I don't see them.
13:52
Speaker 2: I don't think that's good for home. But like, you
13:55
Speaker 2: know what, a I don't even know how you set
13:57
Speaker 2: up a show to be like, hey, we're gonna have
13:59
Speaker 2: one season, right, like this is all we got. Let's
14:02
Speaker 2: have a good time. Michael A, who we remember from
14:08
Speaker 2: The Bachelorette and then again on season eight Bachelor in Paradise,
14:13
Speaker 2: has revealed just recently on social media that he's sixty
14:17
Speaker 2: days sober, and he gives some reasons on why he
14:21
Speaker 2: doesn't miss it. This is interesting one because there's so
14:24
Speaker 2: many people what is today the six There's so many
14:28
Speaker 2: people that are like thirty seven days sober because January
14:32
Speaker 2: first is such a popular day to stop drinking. But
14:35
Speaker 2: he's gone sixty days, so he didn't do dry January.
14:38
Speaker 2: He's doing it.
14:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, good for him, he said, what I've noticed is
14:42
Speaker 3: simple but profound. Clearer mornings, deeper rest, quieter thoughts. I
14:47
Speaker 3: feel present in my body again, present in my life.
14:50
Speaker 3: The noise I thought I needed to turn down turns
14:52
Speaker 3: out I could handle it better without it, So good
14:55
Speaker 3: for him. I don't drink a lot, but anytime I
15:00
Speaker 3: hear about dry January, I'm like, yeah.
15:01
Speaker 2: No, yeah, I'm good.
15:05
Speaker 3: But more power to people who feel like, you know,
15:09
Speaker 3: maybe they were, you know, indulging a bit too much
15:12
Speaker 3: and just want to have a clearer mind.
15:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, dry January is a good reason to be reset,
15:16
Speaker 2: and I think it's a good excuse. So if I
15:18
Speaker 2: were to stop for a month, it would be in
15:21
Speaker 2: January because I know I could use it as a
15:23
Speaker 2: backup instead of just telling my buddies like I just
15:26
Speaker 2: am not this month.
15:27
Speaker 3: And more of your friends, there's probably a good probability
15:31
Speaker 3: that you're going to have other people joining you.
15:33
Speaker 2: A lot of my friends, Yeah, a lot of my
15:35
Speaker 2: friends are doing it and loving it good. It just
15:38
Speaker 2: doesn't I don't think it affects my life positively or
15:41
Speaker 2: negatively enough. Yeah, but I know so many people who
15:45
Speaker 2: have gone sober because it's negatively affected their life and
15:49
Speaker 2: I have yet to meet anybody that doesn't say they're
15:52
Speaker 2: better for it. Sure, So congratulations to Michael for making
15:57
Speaker 2: the decision and sticking by it sixty days over Tristy here.
16:02
Speaker 2: I'm sure it says what is the reason why he
16:05
Speaker 2: chose to do it?
16:06
Speaker 4: I don't think he.
16:07
Speaker 3: I don't think he had a reason. He actually he said,
16:10
Speaker 3: hold please, he said, oh, sixty days since my last drink.
16:18
Speaker 3: I didn't mark it on a calendar. I just started
16:20
Speaker 3: paying attention. And I think he just was feeling like foggy.
16:25
Speaker 3: He was feeling like he needed to just be more
16:29
Speaker 3: present and more clear in his life.
16:32
Speaker 2: And that makes sense.
16:33
Speaker 4: I think that's why I did it.
16:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, a big announcement. Katie Thurston is in the headlines
16:39
Speaker 2: again for something very exciting. Yeah, Katie Thurston reveals that
16:44
Speaker 2: her and Jeff are buying a house, and then she
16:48
Speaker 2: also shares some of her other twenty twenty six goals. Obviously,
16:51
Speaker 2: we've covered the Katie Thurston's you know, breast cancer journey,
16:56
Speaker 2: and then also I believe recently her mom we cover
17:00
Speaker 2: that on headlines also had breast has breast cancer. H
17:05
Speaker 2: So we've talked about that a lot. But now we're
17:07
Speaker 2: talking about some of her goals, which is a really
17:10
Speaker 2: fun way to cover Katie Thurston.
17:12
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, she's been through so much and.
17:17
Speaker 4: A house. Buying a house is always a fun thing.
17:20
Speaker 2: It's so fun.
17:21
Speaker 4: I loved that whole process.
17:25
Speaker 2: Especially your first Totally feel like an adult. I feel
17:29
Speaker 2: like an adult. Like you walk in, You're like I
17:31
Speaker 2: could put something in this place. Yeah, and I don't
17:34
Speaker 2: have to ask anybody.
17:35
Speaker 4: Totally, it's munch, It's mine much.
17:38
Speaker 2: It feels so good.
17:39
Speaker 4: Yes, I love it.
17:41
Speaker 3: She also I think this is a big part of
17:44
Speaker 3: the headline is that she's got new scans coming on
17:48
Speaker 3: February thirteenth, which will be the one year mark since
17:51
Speaker 3: she was diagnosed with breast cancer and she's recently manifesting
17:56
Speaker 3: no evidence of disease or she's she's manifesting no evidence
17:59
Speaker 3: of but at this point, I feel like that's where
18:03
Speaker 3: she is. She's in a good place in her diagnosis
18:08
Speaker 3: and just hoping to manifest it completely being eradicated.
18:14
Speaker 2: So, I mean a year in and for her to
18:16
Speaker 2: see and even hope and believe it that's possible as
18:19
Speaker 2: such a win.
18:20
Speaker 4: Yeah.
18:21
Speaker 2: She also talks about how I don't know if you
18:23
Speaker 2: remember this Trista, But she had a whole Hawaii trip
18:27
Speaker 2: planned when she was diagnosed, and it kind of got
18:29
Speaker 2: ruined obviously because of you know, the situations happening in
18:33
Speaker 2: her life. So I believe in twenty twenty six her
18:36
Speaker 2: hope is to redo that trip. Yeah, and I quote
18:41
Speaker 2: here life is good, life is good, my health is good.
18:45
Speaker 2: I'm happy to be alive. Katie says, that's awesome.
18:49
Speaker 4: Love it.
19:01
Speaker 2: Final headline of the week. There's a video kind of
19:04
Speaker 2: associated with this that I think adds some complexity to
19:08
Speaker 2: this announcement. An anonymous gossip site Des Mois, hence at
19:13
Speaker 2: gin Tran and Bravo start dating Trista. Thanks to the
19:20
Speaker 2: powers that be at iHeart, we were able to also
19:24
Speaker 2: match this headline up with a video that gen Tran
19:28
Speaker 2: recently posted that seems to counter this announcement. And my
19:36
Speaker 2: wife follows Des Mois and typically I feel like they're
19:42
Speaker 2: they're right or they're onto things.
19:44
Speaker 3: I think this is the first time I'm hearing about
19:46
Speaker 3: this site, so I will be I will being it down.
19:49
Speaker 2: It's it's a scroll and a half. I mean, it's
19:52
Speaker 2: hours of need more of that. Yeah, who was seen
19:55
Speaker 2: with who? And where. Yeah, but the video. Okay, so
19:59
Speaker 2: this announcement that but Jesse Solomon and Gin Tran were
20:02
Speaker 2: spotted out together. Okay, is the announcement right?
20:06
Speaker 3: And then we have the video and like you said, Ben,
20:11
Speaker 3: the timing kind of works out. So some are thinking
20:17
Speaker 3: that it's a clap back to the man who bought
20:21
Speaker 3: her dinner. So if you go watch the video, I
20:24
Speaker 3: don't know if we link it or what, Maybe just
20:26
Speaker 3: do a search. I think it was on TikTok on
20:28
Speaker 3: her TikTok account. And she basically said, well, actually this
20:33
Speaker 3: is a quote. I was out the other weekend at
20:35
Speaker 3: a bar. Me and my friend were sitting at dinner
20:37
Speaker 3: and these guys come and they sit next to us,
20:40
Speaker 3: and they end up paying for our dinner. Honestly, not
20:42
Speaker 3: a green flag or a red flag. I think that's
20:44
Speaker 3: a yellow flag. I can afford my own dinner. But
20:46
Speaker 3: they offered, and I was like, sure, you can have
20:48
Speaker 3: my dinner, pay for it. It's what happens afterwards, because
20:52
Speaker 3: I think there are multiple ways you can go about it.
20:55
Speaker 3: You can pay for the dinner and just be a
20:57
Speaker 3: gentleman and nothing can happen. However, if you're paying for
21:00
Speaker 3: the dinner and then you're expecting something to come out
21:03
Speaker 3: of it. You're disgusting. In my head, I'm like, why
21:06
Speaker 3: do you want to pay for my dinner? Is my
21:07
Speaker 3: husband really going to be out here buying random girls dinners?
21:10
Speaker 3: Do you know who pays for random girls dinners? Insecure men?
21:13
Speaker 3: Because they want to flex their money and their big
21:15
Speaker 3: little wallets in my face?
21:17
Speaker 2: And I close quote from Gin Tramp Yep, let's discuss
21:23
Speaker 2: this for a second.
21:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was actually more to the video that I
21:27
Speaker 3: not just this, but it was.
21:30
Speaker 4: It was very very interesting.
21:31
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is a thing that jin
21:33
Speaker 2: is doing. We've covered a couple of her videos. One.
21:35
Speaker 2: I love the setup that she has. She's always like
21:38
Speaker 2: sitting somewhere in like her pajamas, and she just has
21:41
Speaker 2: like a buffet of food in front of her. She's
21:43
Speaker 2: just scarfing. I think it's hilarious. And then she's just
21:46
Speaker 2: going on She's like, yeah, she's just going off on rants,
21:49
Speaker 2: and then she'll pause in between and be like this
21:51
Speaker 2: ice cream is really good. Yeah, okay, I don't really
21:56
Speaker 2: disagree with anything that Jinn is saying in this video.
21:59
Speaker 2: Others then I think, and goodness, I know so many
22:03
Speaker 2: guys who have tried a thousand ways to approach women,
22:08
Speaker 2: and they are obvious, they have ulterior motives and they're
22:12
Speaker 2: not like good and healthy. So I do know that's
22:15
Speaker 2: a thing. Not dismissing that, However, I also know so
22:19
Speaker 2: many guys who are good guys who are so nervous
22:21
Speaker 2: to approach a beautiful woman when they're single, and they're
22:25
Speaker 2: looking for a way to do that without And it's
22:27
Speaker 2: really hard to come up with a reason if you're nervous,
22:30
Speaker 2: especially to approach somebody that's not like, hey, can I
22:35
Speaker 2: buy you a drink? It's not that they want to
22:37
Speaker 2: buy you a drink. I think it's not. I would
22:39
Speaker 2: say most of my buddies who are dating are not
22:43
Speaker 2: trying to flex their wallets because they don't have big wallets,
22:45
Speaker 2: Like they don't really want to be buying you a
22:46
Speaker 2: drink anyways. They don't have a lot of money, so
22:49
Speaker 2: it's just mostly like a hello and without saying, hey,
22:55
Speaker 2: I think you're really pretty right off the bag. It's
22:57
Speaker 2: like just opening up the door enough to be like,
23:00
Speaker 2: I'm I noticed you enough that can I like show
23:03
Speaker 2: you that I appreciate your beauty? Yeah, I would think
23:09
Speaker 2: also that would go along with dinner. And so I
23:11
Speaker 2: don't want to think that buying somebody dinner is misogynistic.
23:15
Speaker 2: Oh hey, look how much money I have. You can't
23:18
Speaker 2: afford this to let me buy it for you, right,
23:20
Speaker 2: I don't want to assume that that is right what happens.
23:24
Speaker 2: I do think we need to understand and maybe just
23:26
Speaker 2: like take a step back and be like, hey, guys
23:28
Speaker 2: are very nervous to approach a beautiful woman. Yeah, most
23:33
Speaker 2: of my buddies who are little awkward don't know how
23:34
Speaker 2: to do it, but they're great guys.
23:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally.
23:36
Speaker 3: Well, I think there are those people, they're the great guys,
23:39
Speaker 3: and then there are the guys who maybe have ulterior emotives.
23:41
Speaker 3: And I think what what the video went on to
23:45
Speaker 3: explain is she got the sense that they wanted something
23:49
Speaker 3: out of it, that they were expecting more than just
23:52
Speaker 3: hanging out with them and paying for their dinner. So
23:55
Speaker 3: I think it was just like her commentary on wait, so,
24:00
Speaker 3: were you just buying me dinner to be the nice
24:02
Speaker 3: guy who wanted to say I appreciate your beauty? Or
24:05
Speaker 3: were you saying I want to buy you dinner because
24:08
Speaker 3: I want to get you back to my hotel room.
24:10
Speaker 2: And I do think most people could read through that
24:12
Speaker 2: pretty quickly.
24:13
Speaker 1: She did.
24:13
Speaker 2: I think in the video quote at some point the
24:17
Speaker 2: guy said I make more money than you, and oh.
24:19
Speaker 3: Yes, that was come on and come on, I mean
24:23
Speaker 3: that showed his cards right there.
24:24
Speaker 2: Oh it's done. At that point, You're done, get up,
24:28
Speaker 2: walk away, don't spend any more time. No. I also,
24:32
Speaker 2: and the almost famous listeners have gotten mad at me
24:35
Speaker 2: about this for years and years and years. And I
24:39
Speaker 2: used to ride this train and I stopped because I
24:42
Speaker 2: couldn't take the comments about it anymore. But I'm jumping
24:45
Speaker 2: right back on the train right now. Anytime, and Jen
24:50
Speaker 2: mentions this without saying it the same way I do.
24:53
Speaker 2: Anytime somebody has to describe themselves to you in a
24:57
Speaker 2: positive light, Trista, I love that you love yourself and
25:01
Speaker 2: that you're confident in yourself. I don't know. I'm asking
25:05
Speaker 2: that question myself all the time, but I love that
25:09
Speaker 2: you could sit here and tell me, Hey, I'm a
25:12
Speaker 2: good mom, I'm a loving wife, all these things. You
25:15
Speaker 2: could say that, and I believe it. However, I don't
25:20
Speaker 2: actually know if I need you telling me those things
25:22
Speaker 2: totally I want to be the one telling you from
25:25
Speaker 2: my witness I call it self describing. So Jen in
25:29
Speaker 2: the video says that the guy sat down and pretty
25:32
Speaker 2: much immediately he was like, well, I just want to
25:33
Speaker 2: let you know I'm not an asshole. And it's like,
25:36
Speaker 2: as soon as somebody says something like that to you,
25:39
Speaker 2: that is a moment to take a step back. How
25:42
Speaker 2: many people have we met that's like, oh, you know,
25:44
Speaker 2: I'm a nice guy. If I sat down with you, Tristan,
25:47
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, you know me, I'm a nice guy. Like,
25:50
Speaker 2: that's a weird thing. I feel like for me to
25:51
Speaker 2: say you can say that about me, you can talk
25:54
Speaker 2: about me behind my back and say been such a
25:57
Speaker 2: nice guy. I don't even have to hear it.
25:59
Speaker 5: But if at some point I am so insecure and
26:03
Speaker 5: who I am that I have to describe myself to
26:06
Speaker 5: almost manipulate your thought process, I think that is a
26:11
Speaker 5: red flag.
26:12
Speaker 4: Yes, I I don't know why you would get pushback
26:14
Speaker 4: on that.
26:15
Speaker 2: I just well, the show has a lot of self
26:17
Speaker 2: describing and it was always my like red flag when
26:19
Speaker 2: I was watching The Bachelor. When Bachelor, when somebody would
26:22
Speaker 2: be come in and be like, you know, I'm not crazy.
26:24
Speaker 2: I'm like, you're a hundred percent crazy. Now, yeah you are.
26:29
Speaker 2: It's all over, you know what.
26:31
Speaker 3: And also I am so drawn to the humility in people.
26:36
Speaker 3: My husband is the most humble person you will ever
26:39
Speaker 3: meet on the planet. So I feel like, I yes completely.
26:44
Speaker 3: It gives me the ick if someone's like, I'm a
26:46
Speaker 3: nice guy, I'm not crazy, Oh, yes you are.
26:49
Speaker 4: And I'm staying far away.
26:51
Speaker 2: There's so many ways we can do this. People tell them.
26:54
Speaker 2: Tell me that you know I'm really smart is another one.
26:56
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh goodness, if you have.
26:58
Speaker 4: To say that, then.
27:00
Speaker 2: You have a lot of work to do. Anyways, jin
27:03
Speaker 2: Trand posted a video. It seems like she is trying
27:06
Speaker 2: to tell the public that no, this Jesse Solomon rumor
27:09
Speaker 2: is not true. She said within a thousand miles of her,
27:12
Speaker 2: there was no guys that intrigue her or interest her.
27:15
Speaker 2: So we have this post saying that won't be surprised
27:17
Speaker 2: if we see them out together again, and her video
27:20
Speaker 2: from the source saying no guys.
27:24
Speaker 3: We are assuming that she was talking about Jesse, but
27:27
Speaker 3: still timing works out.
27:28
Speaker 2: Timing works out. That's been the headlines for this last week.
27:35
Speaker 2: Some big things we covered again Chris Harrison's new show.
