  Speaker 2: Hey guys, welcome to the Almost Famous podcast. Ben Ny
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: are together today and that is fantastic, especially since today's headlines.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: They're big.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: We ought lots of big headlines and this is not
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: me exaggerating for the sake of entertainment.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: They are big headlines. We have some like action packed headlines.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Let's start with this one. Speaking of big, let's talk
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: about Zach Clark.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: What does Zach Clark have to do with big?
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know, Okay, He's from New York and that
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: kind of thing. Caitlin Bristo discusses a possible third engagement
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: as these Zach Clark romance rumors they kind of keep
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: swirling around.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: So what she said when she was on the Not Skinny,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Not Fat podcast with Amanda she said, like I went
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: through a hoe fees back in my twenties. Caitlin and
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Vancouver wash. She goes, and now this is actually a
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: big reveal. Why wouldn't she do this on her own podcast?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: She goes, Now, I'm on this third possible engagement if
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna finally talk about someone out loud after However, long,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I hope this is the person. She has been split
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: from Jason for three years, which is so crazy. She
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: said that her ego holds her back because I'm like,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: what if I'm in a failure? What if I'm just
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: gonna be a failure again in a relationship? So that's
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: like a really big admission. She's admitting that she is
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: in a relationship but she doesn't really do and that
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: it's on the cost of a possible engagement. And I mean,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: if it goes back to as far as we think
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: it does. And it is weird to pretend as if
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: we don't actually know Caitlin in real life, but that's
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: what we do when it comes to.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: The situation. They've been hanging out for over two years now,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: two and a half years.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Ashley, I know you were just spotted at a show
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: in New York City with Caitlin.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Do you if there is a possibility that she is
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: dating Zach with all these rumors swirling around, do you
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: think it's a good relationship for your friend?
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I think from what we know of Zach that he
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: is just the most like, stand up, moral, wants to
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: help everyone type of guy. He is a wonderful catch
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: for her, and he's very private, he's subdued.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I would think that they would make a lot of
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: sense in a balance, you know, they.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Balance each other in like a really good way. You
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: would think. I'd think so too.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: I wonder if they are dating, so I'm always curious
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: about that'd be cool.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: If they were. I like him both a lot.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would make sense, and it would just be
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: so funny if she does end up if they are
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: dating with some person from Bachelor Nation in the most
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: twisty of ways.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she can't get out of it.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, but it would certainly mean you know how I
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: always say that so many of us end up with
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: our spouse through the show, even if it's not in
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the traditional way.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: That would be quite the quite the tale of while
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I was supposed.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: To be with somebody from Bachelor Nation, he just wasn't
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: on my season.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I love it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Speaking of caitlin X's engagements leads us right into Jason
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Tarctic being engaged to his girlfriend Catherine Curly. So they
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: announced yesterday, Monday, July thirteenth, that they are engaged. They
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: got engaged in looks like Europe, right, we.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Don't they did? They say where it was. Did they
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: tag that it looks like Europe?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: And I'm assuming that maybe this happened while they were
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: out there for Blake's wedding, because Blake got married to
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Giannina in Croatia a week or two ago.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: I'm also assuming they held out on announcing this because
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: they didn't want to like step on Taylor Swift and
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Travis Kelce's like, you know moment when.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: They they wanted it to be seen. I don't think
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: that they wanted to step on Taylor. I think they
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: didn't want the headline shadowed by Taylor.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: Oh okay, don't you say? One way to look at it.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know that they're stepping on Taylor's toes here.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: But the two of them have been together since twenty
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: twenty four. She is the founder of a nonprofit dog
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: rescue organization, Wags and Walks Rescue Nashville. And we're really
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: happy for them. It's it's very exciting. I'm glad that
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: he's found his person.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, congrats.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Have you met her?
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: I haven't met her yet. I've heard about her. And
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: I had dinner with Jason a little over a year ago.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, and he told me about her, but I
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: had not met her in person. They seem like a
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: very happy couple together. They're living in Nashville, right, not
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: New York, because isn't he moved to New York.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I thought that they were living in New York. But
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: maybe they'd go back and forth.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: They must be going back and forth. Seems to be
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: the thing to do these days.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Nobody wants to live in New York, but everybody wants
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: to like just go there at times.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Just got a hotel room that seems cheaper.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: But congratulations to them on their engagement and what a
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: while two headlines. Those are not headlines that we strategically
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: placed side by side. They just both happened this week.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: And so he gets engaged and Caitlyn talks about a
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: third engagement, and you know.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: You know, the things keep going.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: The timings are But speaking of New York and Nashville,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: it's like she Caitlin's been living in Nashville for years
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: and she just recently moved to New York for who
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: knows what.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: It's interesting because doesn't Zach live in New York?
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I think he does.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it'd be interesting.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Okay, So bachelor lum Courtney Robertson files for divorce from
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: husband Roberto after eight years together. This one hurt Ashley,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: I know, responded with like a I don't like this
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: at all. Now, divorce is never something you celebrate, I think, but.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Unless you're getting out of something very bad.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, very bad. But this was one that we just
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: we just don't like it one. I think it was.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Anything bad happened to Courtney. I think that's one of
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: the reasons. And then we've I've met the two of them.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: They came to an event we did out in California,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: and they were wonderful together.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: So this one's a little shocking.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Well, this one's really sad because I feel like Courtney
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: and I have kind of been on our journey of
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: love together. We're like single together, and we kind of
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: got married around the same time, starting having kids around
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: the same time. So we've always like related on the
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: chapter that we're in, and it always seemed like she
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: was happy, but.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: And perhaps she really was. It sounds not to.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Make big assumptions, allegedly alleged assumptions, but it sounds like
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: there was some infidelity. The quote she does a whole
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: podcast episode on it. You guys if you want to
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: go listen to Courtney's podcast episode. But the statement is
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: that after learning information that irreparably damaged the trust in
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: our relationship ship, I made the difficult decision to file
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: for divorce. This one has been one of the hardest
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: seasons of my life, and I continue to process everything.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: My focus remains on my three beautiful children. They are
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: and will always be my highest priority. Well, this isn't
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the future that I envisioned for my family. I'm choosing
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: peace in a healthy, stable environment for my children.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: So she also posted on the fourth July that she
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: was like, it's a fantastic or independence day with the
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: three kids. I think this was before the this was
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: before the announcement, so it was like a preview as
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: her independence from something that was not good for her.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll have Courtney on to talk a little
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: bit about this in the upcoming weeks or months. But
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: I am actually very very sad for her and whatever
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: unfolded of this relationship.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a bummer. I don't like it. Speaking of
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: things I don't like, this is one. This is not
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: about me. Let me be clear, but Jared's coming this year.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Every year I plan a golf trip for about forty
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: of my buddies, and they range from elementary school friends,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: middle school friends, high school friends, college friends, young adult friends,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: work friends, to bachelor friends and people that I just
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: love and I want to see more of and there's
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: often not enough time to do it. And so this
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: weekend that I plan out is for that just to
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: get together again. This year, we're going to Big Seater
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: and Jared is coming. Joe was supposed to come. Joe's
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: a huge golfer. He picked up golf two years ago.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: He loves the sport. He is addicted. He's owned more
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: set of clubs in the two years of playing than
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: I have in twenty years of playing. And a couple
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: of weeks ago, Joe called me and said he can't
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: make the golf trip this year, which I know is
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: a bummer for him. It's also a bummer for all
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: of us because he's such a good time to be around.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: Because of this.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Pernuvo scanity received it's interesting, Ashley, I can talk about
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: this now.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: Pernuvo.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: So many things to talk about here about Pronovo. Go
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: for it.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I did it because you did it,
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: and you had such great things to say about it,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: and so I want to invest in my health.
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: We did it. Jessico was supposed to do it, but
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: that's how we found out Jessco is pregnant.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Just so crazy.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, she did a little.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: And tests before the scan and found out she was pregnant,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: so she couldn't do her test. And I really enjoyed
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: the process of getting my results and walking through what,
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: you know, life was going to look like for me.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: My mom's gonna do one, and one of the reasons
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: she's gonna do one is because of the stories like
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: Joe's Ashley. You can explain the situation here. I just
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: want to preface it with saying when he told me,
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: there's a really sweet like text exchange with him where
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: I said, hey, like, I don't know what to say,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: but I am earnestly going to be in prayer for you,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: And he said, hey, like, I haven't prayed often in
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: a while, but I'm going to start praying to him.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: They get scary what's coming up in front of him.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: And we're throwing this up to a guy that we
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: believe can be active in this, but actually break down
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: what Joe found out through this scan that was supposed
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: to just be an at well it.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Wasn't just supposed to be an act.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I mean you, you, he and I all got partnerships
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: with pre Novo, which is more of an exchange situation.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Well yeah, but like you don't expecting something like this
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: to come out of it, and it is to not
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: it is a benefit for us to get it, but
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: it then's also to highlight the company itself through this
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: kind of like ad is what I'm saying is this
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: is a way for them the market and for us
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: to benefit and you don't expect it to have the results,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: like he'd found out.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Jared and I have been talking about Pronovo so much lately.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: We've been trying to book our own but then yesterday
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I saw our own second one. We did our first
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: March of twenty twenty five, and then we saw Joe's
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: announcement yesterday, and you know, we texted him and now
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Jared's like sending him funny He's like, I will send
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: you all the funny Seinfeld gifts to get you.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Through this as long.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Ben will send prayers, actually said prayers. Jared's gonna send
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Seinfeld memes.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: We need.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: So pre Novo, if you guys don't.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Know is it's it's been like a kind of profound
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: enbacheloration because also Ali Fedotowski's husband, Kevin Mano, found out
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: that he had his thyroid cancer through pre Novo. So
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: basically it's a scan. It's it's uh in like ten
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: cities around America, you can go and without having a
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: prescription for an MRI, get an MRI and it picks
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: up so many things. Then you have like a one
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: on one consultation about what they found in your body.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I wish it was obviously something that is covered by
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: health insurance. That's something that is more accessible. But I
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: will say, for go your Starbucks runs and it.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Is a couple. It's like a for your mid body.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: For me to ted, it's like twelve hundred I think,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: which obviously isn't cheap, but when you think about what
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: it's been catching it is, it's remarkable. Our friend also
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: had her were removed recently because she's in her fifties,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: but they found suspicious things on her ovary through the
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Pronovo scan. So just in my circle, it's been Joe,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: my friend, Ali's husband, my parents have theirs booked for September.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: It's just a very important thing. It's it's a great
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: thing to.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Do if you can do it, And I think, a
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: guess that's all I have to say about that. But yeah,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: it's it's.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Crazy find out about Joe with Joe with Joe. So
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Joe has a small tumor right now, very early stages.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: They don't even know if it's cancerous in his brain.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: He's gonna have this is you know, this.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Is so scary.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Next week or the week after, he's going to be
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: having like brain surgery at Sloane Kettering, which is about
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: one of the best hospitals you could ever be at,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: and then they'll do a biopsy on it and see
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: if it is cancerous and then next steps from there.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: But prayers that it is not cancerous and that the
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: surgery goes smoothly.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: And this is just like a little blip in Joe's life.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: I agree, But also incredible that they found it early.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: Because he doesn't have any side effects right.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Now, no, no symptoms.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: He would never have known without the scan, and that's
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: just such a blessing.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: Switching gears back to love Kelsey where ties it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: No no, no, no no.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: On the Prenovo note, we got to talk about how
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: jess found out she was pregnant with the Pronovo scan,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: and you just mentioned that, but like tell us through
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: the day, like tell us the story. You haven't told
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: us yet about the findings out that you're going to
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: be a dad to another girl, which is also no
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: surprise to me.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: You are a girl dad through.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: Oh we're so pumped. Yeah.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: So we had these scan scheduled and part of the
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: scan they say, hey, you don't like, it's not a
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: good idea to do this if you're pregnant. And so Jessica,
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: right before she walked out the door, was like, Hey,
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: I'm just gonna take a test for peace of mind.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: And I'm so glad she did. I was washing dishes
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: in the kitchen. I was like, hey, go ahead. Back
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: in the day when we were trying to get pregnant
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: with Wenona, she was taking tests all the time, so
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: this wasn't like shocking to me. It was just like
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: she's just peeing on sticks for fun, it felt like.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: But the before the scan she did one just to
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: make sure and she yells at me, then I'm pregnant, and.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: I said, huh, how But she was a week late.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: She really wasn't. But it's not She's not like it's
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: like not predictable with her. You know, like I don't
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: know the details of how that works, but like it's
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: not shocking that she would be a week late.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Were you trying to get pregnant.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: We weren't, not, I mean, when when this little girl
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: will be born, Whennie and her.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Will not even be too yeah, not even Yeah.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Twenty two months apart, and so what we really like
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: in a planned world, which God never you know, keeps,
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: those plans would have been like, hey, Jessica could have
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: been not pregnant for this summer. She's been either pregnant
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: or breastfeeding so for like the last two summers, and
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: she really wanted a summer where we could go on
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: the lake and have fun and go out, and we
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: were gonna come back to Indiana and Nashville and you
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: know when he could stay with the grandparents and her
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: and I could go have like cocktails and fancy dinners
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: and all those things. Well that was just like a
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: wish list. Yeah, but we you know, there'll be twenty
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: two months apart. Uh, that's not a bad age different.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: No, that's amazing.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: That's an ideal age difference, especially if you two girls.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I just I that's just so close together and being
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: pregnant for.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Me, yeah, that's what I would have. That's the only
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: reason I wouldn't have done it that close together.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: But you know, with the first we got some help.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: This one no help, And it's so weird for.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Us because did iui will be clear.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, when we had Winnie, we were you know, getting
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: doctor's appointments like once a month, it felt like, and
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: check ins when when it doesn't happen through assistance, they
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: just say like, hey, we'll see you in six months
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: and again in like three more months after that, Like
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: it's very infrequently.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: The first trimester.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we are ecstatic. It's the coolest thing. We think.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: We have a name picked out already. I would have
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: all girls if it was up to me. I just
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: think it's so fun. I think little girls are the sweetest,
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: coolest things. Jessica really wants a boy, but obviously you
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: know she would be thrilled with girls too, But well,
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: I think having back to back girls, I think we
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: would try again. In fact, I'm very positive that and
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: if we did ever have a boy, how coolould it
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: would it be to have I mean, I'm an only child,
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: but how cool would it be to be a boy
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: with two older sisters. I mean that dude feels like
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: he would be protected, like with his life.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Well, he'd also know how to treat ladies. That's that's really.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: That's an important part of that. Yeah, Okay.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Also, I'm just jealous that you have two girls there.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: It's so close in age to be sisters like that.
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, because that's your story.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well we're two, we're two and a half years apart.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: But it's just when you have sisters within three years, usually.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: It's just like inseparable, inseparable.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's so fun, it's so cool for us. We're
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: so thankful. There is a lot of emotion. But you
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: remember the first go around, like I had a lot
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: of not fear, but anxiety around it.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, about our dog.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: I was worried about, you know, how I could be
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: as a dad and how I could operate, you know,
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: my job and my personal life with having a kid.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: The second one is just like now it feels more exciting,
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: and that's fun for me. It's I've always been somebody
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: who when big things are coming up, I carry a
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: lot of like anxiety around it. And this is the
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: first like huge life thing that I've just felt like
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: excitement for and peace about. And and I'm ready. Our
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: life is set up for. I'm very ready, very excited
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: to welcome a little another little Higgins girl into the world.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: So cute, So happy for you guys, really really awesome.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: You guys are just the best parents, the cutest little family.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: That's fun.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what do he helps? So thanks for asking. It's
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: it's a big deal, Ashley.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: So how's she feeling?
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Well? Okay, listen, last time you were like, oh, she's terrible,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: She's terrible, and then she'll end up being like, I'm okay.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So like, who's who's right? Who?
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: I think? I think I'm right. I think she's tough
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: and doesn't want to complain. She's feeling better now. The
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: first trimester is so hard on her, you know, she like,
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: I think she shared it publicly the other day, so
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: I feel good about it. But she it wasn't very
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: long after we found out, like she threw up in
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: target and so like the first one was just like
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: the first month was just her getting sick in the
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: weirdest places, having a ton of like food, a versions
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: instead of like being attracted to food. She had some
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: weird ones this time, where like at one point she
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: asked me to go out and get her she wanted strawberries,
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: peanut butter, and chocolate mixed together.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Somehow doesn't sound bad at all. I don't know what's
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: the aversions?
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, people always say when are you cravings? The question
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: is what are your aversions?
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it feels like it comes and goes. I
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: don't know if this is a thing, but it feels
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: like one day or like she'll be at three o'clock
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: be like, hey, I'm really in the mood for a
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: pasta tonight, and so it's like a red sauce pasta
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: and then we sit down for dinner and she's like,
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: I can't eat it.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely not. I understand that back and forth feeling.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was just a consistent like the one thing
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: that stayed that she likes is Cereal, so whenevery all
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: else fails, Cereal's been just popping off for.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: How is she in handling Whinnie? How how is that?
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: How is being pregnant and parenting?
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: She's so good.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: She's been with Winny now for five days alone and
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: they have a blast. I took Winnie for five days
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: and Jess went back to Denver and then.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, you had five days, she had five days by herself.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I five. That's that's crossing the line too.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: Is nice sometimes, Yeah, but she's she's doing really well
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: with Winnie. I mean when he's just one of those
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: kids that don't doesn't sit and so I think it's exhausting.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: I'm ready to help out again. But the two of
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: them have a lot of fun together. They go to
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: the pool a lot together, so they're finding things to do.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: It's it's been, honestly a lot better. At least she's
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: acting like it's a lot easier than I thought it
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: would be.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the second one was so much easier for me.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Second pregnancy.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: There's something about your body that's just like, oh yeah,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I remember how to do this.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's not fun, but we'll do it.
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Oh, good old Jess. All right, Hey, let's go
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: back to these headlines.

• 23:43
  Speaker 3: we're super happy for her. That girl wanted love so bad.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: She was so emotional and she was such a fun
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: watch on Peter Season and I'm really glad it turned
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: out so magical for her.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she's one of the iconic people that didn't it
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: make it like super far but that you remember because yeah,
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: you remember, she's one of those.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, I agree with you. And I guess that's
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: it for this week. It's not it no, Oh gosh,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: she wants to make a headline out of me.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: What so let's talk about this. This last week we
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: had Julia LaPlaca.
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: On the podcast.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Are we going to talk about this?
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: The headline reads this Peter Weber's mom calls for Bachelor
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: alum's NBA's to be lifted after Julie LaPlaca's romance reveal.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: Barbe's comment is, let Peter tell his story.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: What did she famously say? What was her famous line?
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: She goes, Hannah Ann loves you with all of her heart.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Don't let her go. I don't let her go. Bring
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: her home, bring her home to us.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that was she was she Barba's uh is
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: somebody we got to love like she She was a
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: character that just kept giving in an authentic way and
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: as a very like in a very mom way that
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: was not filtered with how she was going to be perceived.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: But we loved Barb because she loved her son. And
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: I'm let me be clear, I'm very much in favor
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: of what Barba is saying here.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, let's have it go both ways.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: One hundred percent. I mean, and I don't know what
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: kind of NDAs. I haven't looked at our NDAs in
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: a long time, But I don't know what kind of
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: restrictions there are for Peter to stand up for himself
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: in this and tell the story. But goodness, you know,
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: we had Julian we talked to her. Uh, you know,
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: we heard from her. She told us that the book
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: isn't all about Peter. She admitted that, hey, she would
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: never have gotten the book deal without the Peter story.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: She shared the Peter story because she said that it
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: was such a pivotal moment.
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: In her life.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: Uh, and a pivotal point where she had to reconnect
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: with herself, which is what the book is about. The
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: details of their you know relationship you can read about
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: in her book. It happened about six months after filming
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: was done, according to Julie.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: But still during the you know, reunionish period where it
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: was after the final rows.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: And do I think you know everybody's dirty laundry needs
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: to be aired?
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: No?
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Do I think two people were involved in this and
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: they both can tell their story? Yes, one hundred percent.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: There are two adults that are involved in this situation.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: And I would say, if Julie's going to write about
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: what their relationship meant to her, I think Peter should
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: one hundred percent be able to tell about his about
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: how the relationship meant to him. I don't know why
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: anybody would stop him from that. I think it would
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: be ridiculous to try to stop him from that.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: I don't think he should be stopped.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: I guess the NDA she's referencing is like us all
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: giving detailed memories of what happened during filming that we
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: can't do. We can't talk about the things that production
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: talked to us about in detail in a book, right,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Because I know there's been so many Bachelor books written,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: and I think that Courtney's is still the most salacious
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: and detailed when it comes to production. And I remember
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: her telling us that it had such that they were
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: not happy and she was always getting close from Warner.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: I guess Barb saying like, let's just like let him
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: be able to write the book with all the truth
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: in it or all of his sides in it, without
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: it being filtered.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I think Julie in a lot of
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: ways did that right. She talks in her book about
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: how she was jealous of you know, Hannah Brown.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Those are all feelings, though a lot of them were
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: about her feelings and environments.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: And less of like the actual dialogue. Don't you feel yeah?
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, if he can remember the dialogue from that
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: long ago on what you were telling him, good for him.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, I just don't see why he wouldn't be
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: able to speak out publicly. I'm one hundred percent of
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: GREENSM barb. I don't think this should ever be one sided.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: I honestly don't understand how she could reveal things with
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: her in DA that he couldn't reveal with his. I
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: wonder if you know that opportunity is going to be
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: provided to him.
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: I also think that.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: Once he reads the book or gets snippets of it,
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: he'll realize that he doesn't come out let looking bad
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: in that book. I mean, I don't think either you
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: or I thought felt he like he looked bad in it.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: But goodness, let him talk. What are we doing? What
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: are we scared of?
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: But Peter, we want the book. I don't want you
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: to do a podcast. I want details on not just Julie.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: If you're gonna take this opportunity, go full blast. We
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: want to hear about Hannah Brown, Hannah and and Maddie
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: and how all that really went down in your brain
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: and afterward and you know Hannah Brown had sleepovers at
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: your parents' house.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: We gotta hear this. We gotta hear inside the windmill.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: We got to hear about the Kelly situation because they
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: had they dated twice. Basically, how did that happen after
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: she was seventh on your season?
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Crazy goodness in there.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she could come on the Almost Famous podcast and
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: I'd be fine with that. Actually, there is a point
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: here though, again I'm very clear, I agree with Barb
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: let Peter tell a story. I don't know why we wouldn't,
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: but there is a little bit here where outside of
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: all the other things that you know, this Julie situation
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: is trying to be defined by I think where it
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: really morally starts to cross the line for me would
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: be if he would come out and start talking about
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: people who are now married, like Maddie's married, Hannah Brown
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: is married, and I think like that would be a
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: little bit It feels a little bit more ichy to me.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's not, but it just feels like if you're
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: resurfacing stories from the past, if that person is in
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: a committed relationship now in building a family, that feels
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: like that other person could be really hurt by this.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: I know if any one of the girls from my
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: season came out and was like, here's what happened with
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: Ben and I Jessico, and it's their headlines and it's stories.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: I think Jessica would be really hurt because we are
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: a partner now, we are connected, we were one, and
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: she would feel like, hey, you are hurting me in
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: the process, where when you're single, it's still kind of
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: on you, like you don't have that tie yet.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: I feel that Does that make sense?
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because I when I read Britney's book and
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: there was the whole Justin element and it was twenty
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: years later and you're talking about somebody with the family,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: it didn't feel I felt like everybody was.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Like, pretty, oh my gosh. I'm like, no, no, let's.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Have something, but they here for Justin. Yeah, anyway, Heather, Heather,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: my my millennial woman over there is saying, yeah, Justin,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Justin all right, But yes, I totally understand, not to
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: excuse all of Justin's behaviors, but twenty plus years ago.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I do think it's a little bit of crossing
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: a line, and it's a it's a more of a
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: respect thing for the partners involved now who did not
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: sign up for it and you know, their lives moving forward.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: So I would be all for it, but it would
• 32:07
