  Speaker 1: This is the Benn and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with i R Radio. Well, it is now the official
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: time to not only say welcome to the almost Famous podcast,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: but welcome back to my wonderful co host, Ashley I Connettie,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the mother, the podcast host. And you're back earlier than
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I thought you'd be, Ashley, how you holding up? I'm
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: back earlier than anyone would probably think i'd be because
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: it's just been kind of easy, like I is. That's
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: so weird to say. Yeah, Um, he has been the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: easiest baby, and I had probably the easiest delivery you
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: could have, so it was the whole opposite of what
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the nine months were for me. And of course it's
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: easy now because I'm at my parents so there's always
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: somebody to hold him. Jared has been pretty much home
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: full time, so we trade off. We're a good team.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: But he only cries when he's hungry or when we're
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: changing his diaper. He doesn't really like diaper changes, but
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: like it's all regimented too, Like we know his schedule.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: It's like every two to three hours he eats during
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the day, that's when we change his diaper too. And
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: he's such a good sleeper that like, yeah, we're a
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: little tired because like we're waking up in the middle
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: of night, so it's not a solid night's sleep, but
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: he's sleeping incredibly. Uh. He like like the other night
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: he woke up, I went to bed, We went to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: bed at eleven dirty, and he woke up at five
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and then didn't wake up again until ten thirty. So
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: it's like I'm waking up once in the middle of
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the night. It's not bad. Is there anything so far
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: that you haven't been prepared? Prepared for? Only good things?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Like I thought that it was not going to come
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: as naturally in an distinctively I thought, like it took
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: me like okay, so Jared, like he was just incredibly
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: comfortable right off the bat, changing diapers, like comforting him
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and all of that, and maybe it took me like
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: three days to get in the swing of that because
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the first couple of days, like I am like healing
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and like recovering, So he took like all diaper duty
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and like all feeding, and I'm like, oh great, and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: am I gonna be just like the worst mom totally
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: dependent on my husband for this? But then like I'm like, okay,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: show me how to do this, show me how to
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: do that, and before you know it's Yeah, it just
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: felt very natural. And it's so funny that your kids
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: poop doesn't gross you out all you know, all other
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: kids poop would gross me out babysitting or whatnot. But
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: like now you just like wipe his button and if
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: little poop gets on your finger, nobody deal. Is that true? Yeah,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: it's kind of honestly, it's kind of like your dog,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: because like I don't know about you. You may not,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: you may not be there yet, but I'm grossed out
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: by every other dog's poop. But I could still pick
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: up lois Is and not dry heave. Yeah, right now,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: right now. I mean, it sounds like having a puppy
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: is harder than having gone. I told you you guys
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: been texted me like a week ago, and he was
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: just like, everything is being chewed. We have to keep
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: our eye out on everything. I think that having a
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: puppy might be as hard as having a newborn, if
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the newborn isn't colloguy and is as good as as
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Doston has been so far. I was gonna say, because
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: if if they're if a newborn is more difficult than
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: a puppy. I was like, I don't know how I'm
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: gonna do it because I don't get anything done anymore.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Everything has picked up all the floor. I'm watching at
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: all times. Um, But back to you, So, Ashley, you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: just said mentioned that your delivery was about as easy
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: as it could be. Can you walk everybody? Because I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: haven't got to hear the story either through kind of
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that eve being that day, how everything's gone down. Yeah,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: So if you guys have like followed me on Instagram
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: or even just listen to this podcast, you kind of
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: know how terrified I've been of labor and deliberate delivering
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: my whole life. It's been something that like I knew
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I was probably going to have to go through if
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: we were lucky enough to get pregnant, and I was
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a figure that I was gonna have to face. And
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: it was weird because like when it was happening, it
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: wasn't like panic mode. It was two weeks ago today,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: so his he was born almost exactly two weeks ago
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to this recording time, and I had like, okay, so
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I had I got to the doctor on Thursday of
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: that week and they told me that I was three
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: inches dilated and I hadn't even known it because they
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: like check your service every time you go in for
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: your last month's appointments, and you're supposed to be ten
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: when you like deliver or you start pushing. So I'm like,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I am three cents and I didn't even know it.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: So Jared had been up in Rhode Island that week,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you know, because he had to be there for the
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: coffee shop and m there was a winter storm coming
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and I was like, so are you telling me that
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Jared should fly down like right now? Because my midwife
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: was like, you're probably gonna I'm probably gonna be seeing
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you in the hospital like within twenty four to forty
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: eight hours. I'm like, okay. So we went from the
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: doctor's office to Jared being like in the car with
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: me within four hours, which was really nice. And it
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: wasn't forty eight hours, but it was seventy two hours.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I was just like watching TV in bed. Jared usually
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: fell asleep like an hour or two before me turn
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: off the TV. Twenty minutes into like lying there like
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: in the middle of like like that zone or you're
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: falling asleep, and suddenly I just felt a cramp that
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: was way more. I would say it was not way
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: more intense, but more intense than like the light cramping girls.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I'd call it like I had like little twinges of
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: like period cramping a couple of days prior, but this
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: one felt like okay, aw, that's that's a period cramp.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: And then I was like, Okay, let's see if that
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: happens again in a couple of minutes, and twenty minutes
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: later it happened again, and I was like, okay, if
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: it happens one more time, it's time to wake Dared up.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: So third time, well, Jared up, it's about one forty am,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and I'm like I think it's happening, and it's okay,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: all all right, let's let's go. So I was, you know,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I had everything kind of packed the whole, Like packing
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: your suitcase for the hospital is such an Instagram thing.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: You don't need anything, guys. You need a pair of sweatpants,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a phone charger, like a baby's like one baby one.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: See that's it. The hospital gives you everything anyway, So
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: like would pack up the little things like my toothbrush
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: and um, yeah, so we head out at like two am.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: How long should I make this story long, you should
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: tell the whole thing. I really can hear it. Okay,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: So two am in the car, get my midwife on
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the phone. She has been with me every step of
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the way. She she's like the nurse at my and
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: my OBI practice, and I'm telling her that, like they're
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: probably like twenty ten to twenty minutes apart, you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: which sounds like a big span, and it probably is,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: but you know, it happened. It when I went from
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: having contractions every twenty minutes to like every three minutes,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: super duper fast. But she was like, if you want,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: you could stay home a little bit longer because if
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: they are like ten, you know you've got probably some time. Um, well,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that I didn't wait, because they ended up
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: coming so fast. By the time I got to at
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the hospital, which is about like twenty five minutes away,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I had already I was already five centimeters dilated. So
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the most dramatic part for me, it was definitely like
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: being in triage and like having oh my god, I
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: get like this is a way too t m I,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: but like having my SERVI ex checked while contracting out.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: That was not pleasant. And if you watch Jared's Instagram
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: you would see that was when I was like, shut
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the hell up. Then I then, so it was like
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: about an I guess it was like two hours from
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: my first contraction that I ended up being in the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: delivery room and with an epidural, and once that happened,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I was like smooth saleon. Uh yeah. So basically from
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the from the time I got into the delivery room
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: to him being born was about seven hours and honestly
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: felt shorter than seven hours. I'd say I was like
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: in pain in the entire experience for maybe like two hours.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: It would have been the hour that I got admitted
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to like the two when I got the epidural, and
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: then um, there was another time where I just was like,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: can you crank that epidural up a little bit more
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: because I was feeling a lot of pressure. But other
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: than that, like pretty easy, breezy. Now, once the baby
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: is born or something that I was super curious about,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: isn't an immediate be honest, like, did you immediately feel
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: something different towards Dawson than what you expected? Okay? So
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I was fully warned and Jared kind of talked about
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: this on help by Second Dating. I was told by
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Lauren from ninety Day Fiance and my sister and brother
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: in law that like, sometimes you don't have that instant connection.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, what a what an their worldly experience
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: like I saw the light because some people just like
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: feel like they see heaven, you know, when they see
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: their child. It's like a spiritual experience. We did not
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: feel like that, and I was like prepared for it
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: being okay if I didn't feel like that. Yeah, So
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I didn't feel any guilt about that. We did connect
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: with him very quickly, though, I'd say like by the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: end of that night we were feeling like pretty attached,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and then like two days later, like we were like
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: completely in love. Uh. But yeah, we were like obsessed
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: with him. He's the cutest thing ever. And it's just
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: so funny how much you can love something and care
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: about them and want to protect them so like viciously.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Uh so quickly. It's we we didn't really joke, to
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: be honest, that we weren't. We weren't sure we were
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: going to love the kid more than Lois. Were like,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: how are we to love anything more than Lois? But
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: like by the time we got back to the house
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and we saw Lois were like, poor Lois, Like, we
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: definitely love this kid way more. How's Lois handling it?
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: She's too great. Honestly, we're really surprised. She's doing really well.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: She likes to lick his feet and like kiss him,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and she tries to get too close to his mouth.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: But it's very sweet. Ah, this is this is wonderful.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: You guys are parents, Ashley. Is there anything else you
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: want to share with all the listeners out there who
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: have been kind of writing this journey out with you
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and Jared and now you're entering into this whole new season.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is your moment, you are a brand
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: new mother talking about the birth of your son. Anything
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: else that you want to share with the listeners? I
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: was like, so it's funny because like there were there
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: are things that, like you, you expect along the way.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I just kind of want to tell everybody at every
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: experience is totally different, Like my pregnancy was awful, but
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: your pregnancy may not be awful. Your postpartum experience maybe horrible,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: while mine has been pretty good so far. Uh So,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I guess, like, don't listen to what people tell you
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: is going to happen, because you really don't know how
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: it's going to unfold for you. I think I was
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: so freaked out about being a parent because people are like, oh,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: just wait until then, just wait until then. Um, you're
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: gonna be so sleep deprived and you're just like not
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: going to know what you're doing. And on I'm like, no,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: this is like actually like supernatural for me. And then um,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: like labor and delivery, you hear so many horror stories
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: so that you can only like think about what's going
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: to happen with yours. But it was good, so kind
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: of just like know that you you're going to have
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: your own unique story, so don't get freaked out or
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I guess contrastly encouraged by others. The one thing I've
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: been wondering, actually, you know, because I've experienced it recently,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I have not been sleeping with the puppy in the
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: house anxiety. I'm worried about him. I think about him.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I wake up with them, might want to check on him.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: That's a puppy, and I get it, like there's some similarities,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: but like not, no, there's a lot. I've been comparing
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: a lot to our our experience with Lois, so you
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: can compare okay, So, like, do you feel that way
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: or you like more relaxed. I don't know, I'm crazy,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: And I mean, like he's been fine every night, and
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: we had one incident at the very beginning of having
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: him where he got stuck kind of in his crate
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: in a weird way, and like, um, I came out
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: in the the middle night and he was stuck and he
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: was crying and I freaked out, and I haven't been
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the same since. So I'm just wondering, Like, you know,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: in a few years, I hope to be a father,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: God willing, and I'm I'm like I told Justin as like,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I'm so worried about being a dad because like this
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: is driving me psycho. Are you feeling that way at all? Yes, So,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: as great and easy as it has been, I definitely
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: have increased anxiety. I literally have cried about worrying about worrying.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Like I'm like, I'm going to have to worry about
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: you for the rest of my life every single day,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: about different things in different stages of your life. But
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: like right now, I am so concerned about SIDS Sudden
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: infant death syndrome. I literally think about it like all
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the time. I basically like don't put him down like
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: in his swing or anything like that, because I'm like,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: oh great, so what if I am on the computer
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: for five minutes, I don't look at him in the swing,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he's not breathing. So
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I'm constantly concerned about his breathing. Um. The other thing
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: that I talked about a little bit on Instagram was that, like,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I am so concerned over Jared's safety because I one
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: love Jared more after his birth because of the way
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: that I mean he's interacted and taking care of him,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: and I just I'm like, I'm constantly be like, am
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I going to be a widow? I can't be a
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: widow with a child, and then I'm gonna be like
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I just it's it's because I think that everything is
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: like so good and so perfect in our lives and
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: how did we get so lucky? When's the shoe going
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: to drop? So that's my man anxiety. Have you had
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: any advice from anybody on how to handle that, because
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: it's not you know, it's not totally crazy, it's not
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: and all like if the whole thing is not unhealthy,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: but parts of that are, like some of it's just unrealistic.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Some of it isn't doing anything good for you, or
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: you're like, have you talked to anybody about this? And
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: if so, have they shared anything with you? Well, Raven
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: said that she's kind of having the same thing with Adam,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: especially the first couple of weeks. She was just like
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I was constantly worried about Adam, and then my mom
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: kind of had a very similar worry where she she
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: worried that like things were too good, Um, when is
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: it going to be over? When is something bad going
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: to happen? So it's not so much like that they
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: can give advice, but like just the fact that they've
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: gone through similar experiences make you makes you feel better.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: And of course, you know, my parents are like, why
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: are you worry about that? Enjoyed the moment where everything
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: is good? I mean it's easy to say that, of course. Yeah. Well,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: dev definitely does mean there's a huge power and feeling
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: less alone and you're not alone. I'm sure there's gonna
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: be listeners out there who have had children. Oh I've
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: gotten so many messages on Instagram from people who had
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the same worries. Yeah, but it is it is a
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: whole new season for you, Ashley. I'm I'm so proud
• 17:02

  Speaker 1: People are like, oh, Valentine's Day baby, possibly, I'm like, no,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: this kid is coming at least a week early. And

  Speaker 1: three weeks working on this tour I'm going on finally
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: this Sunday. I have pushed off this hair appointment for
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: so long I couldn't push it off anymore. I flew

  Speaker 1: It's gonna be comedy. We're having guests, We're having musical guests.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: It's going to be so fun. I'm so excited. I
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: was supposed to go on tour right before the pandemic
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: and I sold out the Irvine Improv and it was
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the most amazing night of my life. And then the
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: pandemic hit like two days later and my tour was
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: canceled and it was heartbreaking. And now I'm starting it
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: back up again and I'm so excited. Remember you coming
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: on the podcast right before you did the Irvine Improv.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: You came on and promoted it here and so that
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: was a success. And then, like so many things, Covid
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: changed it. Yep, yep, it did and it was really
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: really sad, and but now I'm back better than ever.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: So what's your comedy mostly about? So if you're doing
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: stand up, what are you joking about? So my stand
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: up is basically like really like what you see like
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: saw on TV. It's very relatable stuff. There's obviously going
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: to touch on like bachelor's stuff, just because like I
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: have to, Um, it's about me, my life, my family,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: just really just all over the place stuff being an influencer.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Stuff you guys can relate to too, I I think so.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: So then the musical guests, So the musical guests are
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: mixed in and and they're touring with you the whole time.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: How many stops? Like, how many places will these people
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: be with you? So so far we have about eleven places, um,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: all over. I'm going to be releasing the dates soon. UM.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Guests will be varying throughout locations. UM, and say with
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: the musical guests, so, UM, I do have a co
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: host and a interpreter that will be traveling with me
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: at all times. So it'll kind of be like we're
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: like the set crew on stage at all times, which
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: is super fun. Um. It also makes me less nervous
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: having more people on stage. UM, it's kind of more
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: like where my first show is more straightaway stand up,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: this show is going to be more of like late
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: night talk show stand up mixture, which is cool because
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: that again, for me, the ultimate goal is to be
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: is to have a late night talk show one day.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: So that's the goal. Here, Can we talk about dating
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: and where you're in your life there. Oh yes, Well
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I if I was broken up
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: with someone who we shall not name, Yeah, um yet
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: because yeah, he loves the clouds, so we're not going
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: to give him any of that. Um, Yeah, we broke up.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I'm single. I'm dating. It's really hard. Dating is really
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: really hard, and I I am not good at it
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: and I hate it. I hate it. I hate like
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: the whole like beginning of it. You're nervous around them,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: the texting stuff. It's terrible. But yeah, I'm just waiting
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: to meet my prince Charming over here. But I honestly
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: really love being single. Right now, Can you let us
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: in on what happened, um with your previous relationship? Did you?
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Guys were together for a while. We were together for
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: a while, and honestly, like like like, I thought we
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: were getting married for sure, But I honestly didn't even
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: realize how unhappy I was in that relationship until it ended.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: And I literally thank God every day that it ended
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: because I was miserable. I also gained I gained twenty
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: five pounds in that relationship. I just lost all the
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: weight and I feel so much better. But like it
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: was crazy. I was so miserable in that relationship. Um
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: basically UM. We both went away on a trip over
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the weekend, and I, like, to my understanding, he met
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: someone that weekend that he was away. We came back
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: and he was like, I'm done, and I was like,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: what the heck is going on? And I moved out
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: like the next day. It was like it all happened
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: so quick my life like blew up in front of
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: my face, but like it was the best thing that
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: could have ever happened to me. Ever, I said I
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: met somebody on this trip. No, he didn't say it.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I found out later on he didn't say he actually wouldn't.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: He literally was like we're done, and I was like,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: what are you talking about? Like what happened? Like what
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: do you mean? He was like, I don't need to
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: give you an answer. I'm like, you don't need to
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: give me an answer, like you've been telling me for
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: two years that you want to marry me, Like what
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: are you talking about? You literally spoke to my dad
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: about marriage, Like what is your Like what's going on?
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: He's like, I don't need to tell you. I don't
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: need to give you an answer, which is honestly the
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: most like left up thing to do to someone, like
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: just tell me, Like, just tell me you met someone, Like,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: don't make me feel like like I did something, you
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like it was that was like
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: the most emotional, like heartbreaking, like part of it is
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: that he refused to even tell me why. And I
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: found out later on that he met someone that weekend
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: and now they're engaged. Yeah, yeah, I saw that on Instagram. Um. Yeah,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: so that was fun. That was a nice New Year's surprise.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Do you think that he was possibly talking to this
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: person while you were still together? Absolutely? Absolutely. He's not
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: one to like rush into something and like start posting
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: them immediately on Graham after we were so public and
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: I was like everyone was like, Okay, he was cheating
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: on her, and I was like, you know what, he
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: was cheating on me, Like whatever. He's a skaking liar,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: he's a paking fraud, he's a cheater, and he's honestly disgusting,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: like disgusting. Has it changed your perspective ale on what
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: you're looking for? Like did that lighting you up a
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: little bit? Absolutely? It did, And I feel like it
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: changed me a lot, like I feel like before this.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I was always like when I was single, I was
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: always like I need a boyfriend, and a boyfriend like
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I on a date, on a date, like always onto
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: the next, onto the next. This is the first time
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: in my entire life that I've been single and been like,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I really don't feel like dating. I really don't feel
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: like finding someone. Wow, I'm happy with myself today. And
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: it's cool to notice that as like a person being like, Wow,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: this is like a mindset I've never had yet in
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: my life. So this is cool to realize that I'm
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: like at this place in my life right now. That
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: is That's a that's a win. Typically, I mean, I
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: feel like the more and more people we talked to
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: you have gone through breakups that typically happens when something
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: bad happens in a relationship, but it hurts, and so
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: we're sorry about that because I think last time you
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: were on the podcast, you were talking about how great
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the relationship was, and obviously that did take a big turn.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: But it also is exciting because you know it didn't
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: stop you. You're gonna get back out there in the
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: world and you're gonna be touring soon. Outside of this tour,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: what other things are you excited about that's going on
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: in your life? Is it your sister doing reality show? Yes?
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: So Taylor made her debut onto reality TV. She's on
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Awesomeness TVs, UM Next Influencer. UM. She definitely takes off
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: for her big sister, stirring up the drama and all
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: the fun stuff. She was amazing. I'm so proud of her. Um.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: My dream is to really do something reality with me
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: and her because I think that that would be incredible. Uh. Um.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Other stuff that's going on with me right now, I

• 27:14
  Speaker 1: stuff TV wise in the works which I'm excited about,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: but I don't want to talk about because I don't
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: want to drink. Say, you know, this business like it
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: could be going on one day and then the next
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: day it could be nothing. So, but there is exciting stuff.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: The tour has really taken over my life because stand
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: up is not easy. It's very hard and very scary.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm I've worked really hard on it and
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: like it's gonna be just a big giant party. We're
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: having a bunch of really fun people. People are going
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: to flip out when they hear who the guests are
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: and like when they come out. I don't even think
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: my team really wants me to announce who the guests
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: are before, but I really don't want to. I kind
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: of want to surprise the audience, um, because I think
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: people are just gonna flip. So I'm really really excited. Um. Yeah.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: So the tour has just been taking over my life
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: right now, and everything else is kind of on pause until,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: like I just get this first show over with. Totally
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: understand that that was, Like, I can't think about parenthood
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: until I go through labor and delivery because That's what
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: I'm scared about currently. We'll deal with the rest later. Uh.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Just oh my god, congratulate. Thank you. I didn't even
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: get to tell you thank you. My last question for you, Karin,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: is you mentioned doing reality TV again. Would you ever
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: go back on the franchise. I haven't been getting this
• 28:36

• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I'm getting I like, I mean I love the franchise.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: It's like like, of course, I don't even know what
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: to say, Like, of course I would, I would love
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, if they'll have me, I'm there you've gone
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: on Clayton season. If they would have asked this, he
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: seemed like somebody you you'd be into. Um, I think
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I would have. I mean, I'm I think he's really
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: cute and really sweet and like, I'm like totally in
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: a place where like I like could and should be
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: like just putting myself out there again like that. So
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I definitely would have gone if they had asked me.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I wish they would have. That would have been some
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: great TV. You would have fit in real nice. You
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: would have really really done well this season. I think
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: this Chaney girl thinks she's like all that I would
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: have like between you and yeah, yeah, everyone thinks they
• 29:42

• 29:55
  Speaker 1: will they be announced? Where can people find out more information? Uh,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: if you're coming to a city year them, Um, the
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: best place to find out all the tour information will
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: be my Instagram, which is at ce Olympius, my last
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: name and my first letter of my first name, see Olympius.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that made sense, but um, yeah,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: what was the other part of the question. Just if
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: they were hoping to see see you and if you're
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: going to be in a sitting near them, where could
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: they find it? So it sounds like your Instagram is

• 30:39
  Speaker 1: months and you just tell us how everything went so well.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Wishing the best. Current, thanks for taken some time. I
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: know you're busy, so thanks for taking some time to
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: join us, Yes, Boil, thank you so much. Guys. All right, bye,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: thank you bye. All right, Well let's get into this
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Greek cap um. This episode was actually like pretty chock full.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: This is a very eventful episode. So we start out
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: with the two on one. This is the weirdest two
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: on one ever because well, I guess all the girls
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: collectively had an issue with China, right. There wasn't one
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: particular one who was after her at this point because
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth has been gone. Maybe Sierra was the most vocal
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: about not liking her, but like in general, it was
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: just like all the girls couldn't stand her, so it
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: didn't really matter who was paired with her. I thought,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: with them going to Niagara Falls for this day, it
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: was going to be like a little bit more geographically intense,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Like I imagine them on like a boat getting totally
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: rained on. It's like, you know, them getting close to
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: the falls. But we didn't get anything like that. And
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: then so we get Genevieve sitting there and she's just
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: talking of out. She's talking about like, honestly, how rattled
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: she was by getting the two on one. That was
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: their discussion. Then he sits over with Nay and she
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: says that she's surprised that Genevieve have been made it
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: on the dike because she was talking about packing her
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: bags and being ready to leave and she expected her
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: to be gone in the morning and that they were
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: going to actually have a one on one. Now that
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: was completely untrue, right, Like, we don't have any evidence that,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: we don't have any footage, Yeah, we don't. We don't
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: actually know whether she said that maybe, you know, like
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: she could have like in passing, been like I'm so
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: like emotional, like I should just leave, I should just leave,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: but not like in the sense that she really meant it.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: And then she starts saying that like she's an actress,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: which is the most ironic because in the last episode
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: she said, Um, I am Meryl Streep. Where is my oscar?
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: You know, I am above Meryl Streep. So she was
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: self admittedly being the biggest actress in the house. So
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: she's just kind of like using her own like what
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: she was doing herself and flipping it on the other girl. Um.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: What I found bizarre about this one on one then
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: let me know if you feel the same, is after
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: that conversation where it was like she's an actress, Um,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: I we have like this connection. He's making out with
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: a He's not making out with Genevieve. He sits down
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: with the two of them says point blank, Genevieve, are
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: you an actress? Which is kind of funny, right, yeah,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: I mean at least he cuts to the point. Yeah,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: And then she's like totally taking it back. She goes,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I can't I'm so weird it out like why you'd
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: say something like that. Then he walks away, says he
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: needs a moment, comes back and everything is different like
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: what happened when he walked away, because then he goes,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: I can't give you this Rose Genevievel you accept which
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: he didn't. I don't feel like he has anything with Genevieve. No, no,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I don't see the chemistry there. I think it was
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's long term. So you know, I
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: have three theories actually what happened in this moment. One
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: is Clayton already knew she wasn't an actress, and so
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: he was asking this just to fill the space or
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: just to validate, say a little bit, by being like, hey,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I asked her the question, and like you have you know?
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: She said no, And so you either lied to me
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: or she's lying to me. But I'm gonna believe her.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: So that's one is I don't think he ever thought that,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: like after the weeks and weeks and weeks of Sney
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: causing this stuff, that he could trust say for for
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: this insight. Um. The second is this does happen where
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: like maybe he was concerned and he walked the way
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: and he talked to one of his producers. No, I
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: don't think it's a bad thing. It's not. That's not manipulation,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: it's not. But like sometimes you need yeah, sometimes you
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: need that like confidante, just like you would a friend.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Like you walk away and you say, okay, I'm confused.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Here's what's being said. You've seen it. Can you help
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: me out at all? Like, can you give me some
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: insight into what's going on? I wouldn't be shocked if
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: that's what he did. I did it. Often it just
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: helps they they know they see and sometimes the producers
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: look at and be like, hey, I can't help you here,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: and you're like, well, gosh, dang it, Like what are
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: you good for then? Um? And sometimes they'll say, you
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: know what, this has gone on long enough, here's what's happening.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: You've asked us the question. We want to help you.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Yet Genevieve is not an actress. San's you know, not
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: telling the truth. And so he comes back and he says, goodbye,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I bet that's what happened. Um. So you think that
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: they were like, okay, it's time. Yeah, you've seen it.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Now you're you're questioning it. You finally realize that like Hey,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: this isn't what you thought it was, and so let's
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: just give you the break and let you see in
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: full what's going on. That's what I've been happen. That's
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: nice little inside scoop there. And I think, like even
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: watching the show, like that's fine, right. You would do
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: that with your friends if you had a red flag
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: about a guy you were dating and you didn't know
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: where to turn and maybe they knew this guy, like,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: it would be totally cool for you to, you know,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: ask them, hey, what do you think is going on here?
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: And then then for them to give you their real insight.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: And that's kind of what the producers have to do
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: during the show when you're the lead, because you don't
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: have any other girls, any other guys to talk to.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: It's it's them and you. And so finally I think
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Clayton saw it and they said let's help you out. Okay.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: They were like, we're done with her, Yeah, we didn't.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: We didn't tell you this before because we really needed
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: her around. We didn't tell you this before, and you
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: never asked us before. That's another thing is like typically
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: when I would ask a direct question like hey, this
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: is what I'm thinking is happening. Am I wrong or right?
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: They would always tell me. But if I wouldn't ask them,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: then they wouldn't come out and just be like, hey, Ben,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: by the way, like you have a you know, somebody
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: acting a fool, Like they wouldn't just come out and
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: tell you have to ask them directly. And I bet
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: this is one of the first times Clayton had asked
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: did you do agree with me? And the fact that
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: I thought that this is gonna be a very dramatic
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: two on one and it really wasn't. I just didn't
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: know how she was. I thought the drama would only
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: exist if she stuck around. And so as soon as
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: she kind of said I guess going into it without
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: knowing how the date was gonna go, yeah, you figure
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: it is. And it had out all the makings to be.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: But kudos to Clayton for like not believing some of
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: those things and stepping in front of it and saying, hey,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: we're done with this, like this is no longer fun
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: or healthy or funny. You've done this one too many times.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: It's time for you to go home. So, as we've
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: said before in this podcast, the best leads are the
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: ones that step into controversy and drama and chaos and
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: settle it and handle it well. I think this is
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: a great moment for Clayton as a bachelor. I think
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: he handled it really well. I thought he'd eliminated the
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: drama that could have been a lot of drama. And
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: will you have more drama to come? Yes, I don't
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: think this. He's gonna have a perfect slate here coming
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: through the finishing couple episodes. But I now, in this
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: moment he really did a good job. Maybe a week
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: or two too late, but he did a good job. Okay,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: I agree with that. Definitely a week too late, a
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: week or two too late. Alright, So after the two
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: on one um there is a cocktail party rose ceremony,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: and I think like the standout right here was actually
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: very annoying for me. It was his chemistry with Rachel.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, Rachel just seems to be far and beyond
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: his favorite at this point, which is great and fine,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: and like I feel it between them. I get so
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: annoyed at her whispering Oh do you notice that? I didn't,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: but I have to pay attention now. It's uh so
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: great for those people who like that, what's that like?
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Sexual turn on with whispering. Yeah, you can listen to it,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: like it. And they also have the same thing with
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: like eating. Yeah, I'm like, I hate the sound of
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: eating and I hate the sound of whispering. Oh it's
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: called a SMR. Yeah smr. Yeah, yeah, I didn't notice that.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I will look now, I will listen more now, But
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: I uh yeah, I mean we could go through and
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: we will, you know, touch on that on Rachel and
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Clayton again later on the episode. I'm sure, but it
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: is pretty obvious to me who is front runner is
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: at this point even above Teddy because we haven't seen
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of Teddy and I mean, yeah, we got
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: to see her this episode and it was a great day.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I thought, you know, I think she's definitely still in
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: the mix, but I think Rachel has really stepped above
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: the group. Yeah. If I had to narrow it down
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: right now, I'd say it was Susie, Rachel, and then Teddy.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: The other storyline that comes up during this cocktail party
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: is is Mara and her insecurity because she's like not
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: getting enough time with him. Um, she starts to like
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: talk about being uncomfortable about like what's ahead and like
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: who is getting the attention and if they're like worthy
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: of the attention. She's she's the oldest in the house, right,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: she's thirty three, and she's showing a lot of insecurity
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: towards Sarah, who's twenty three. And I mean a decade
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: of difference is a is a big age gap. And
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: I remember being the same way in the house, even
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: though it was ridiculous because I was twenty six, but
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: my friend Mackenzie, who was one of like the well
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: one of she was one of my best friends in
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: the house, but she was also twenty two. So when
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: she got a one on one and I didn't, it
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: made me very insecure and I was like, she has
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: all the time in the world and I don't. So
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I kind of understand where Mara is coming from, but
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: I also think she's villainizing Sarah for mm hmm, possibly
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: no reason besides age. We see later in the episode
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: that she claims that Sarah said something along the lines
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: of not being retty to get engaged, um, saying, isn't
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: it wild to imagine that we would be engaged after
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: two months? Like, I don't know if I could ever
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: do that. Well, during the scenes to the next episode,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: we kind of see, we can't really figure out what's
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: going on, but there's definitely going to be something, some
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: heavy storyline with Sarah, whether or not Mara's instincts are
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: true or not. Did you get that vibe? I mean,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: I don't. The age thing, I know is tough, and
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: it typically does come from the older person, Like I
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: feel that today I'm thirty two years old. I'm not old,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: but I'm not young. I'm not a kid anymore. And
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: so there's things that you feel as a kid, like
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: the world's in front of you and there's so much
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: opportunity that exists in front of you, and that stuff
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: is still true at some level, but it's it's not
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: like it was the euphoria. The dream has not died,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: but it just is more realistic than it was ten
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: years ago. I kind of know now where what's in
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: front of me. So when you go on this show,
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: insecurity already exists for everybody. Everybody's good looking, everybody has
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: something going on, everybody's making a connection. And so I mean,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: at least in my experience, there was are there was
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: insecurity just from being there. Then add on the fact
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: that you are the oldest person in the house, and
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: the youngest person in the house is getting the most attention.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: I I would say, I mean, I would assume it's
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: more jealousy than it is insecurity. It's just this feeling
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: of like, Okay, here we go again. The world is
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: passing me by and somebody else is getting the opportunity
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: that I was hoping to have here because I thought
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: this was a show for people like me. And now
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: do I know anything about Sarah? We don't really yet.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: We've seen two one on ones. We haven't you know,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: learned a ton about if she's ready or not. She
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: says she is, she reacts like she is. So and
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: if this is being said, we haven't seen it, and
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: so I can't even speak to that. I would Uh.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: I'm just always a fan on this show of if
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: you're a contestant and you're struggling with insecurity and you're
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: struggling with jealousy or whatever it is, instead of pushing
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: that away from you, focus on yourself a little bit.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Speak to yourself to Clayton, Hey, I'm feeling a little
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: insecure about being the oldest person in the house and
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: not knowing where this is go this goes, you know,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: don't start blaming everybody else. It's not a healthy way
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: to live life. It's also not a healthy way to
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: build a relationship because now all he remembers from their
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: conversation is how she, you know, pretty much tried to
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: get Sarah eliminated. Yeah, and just for one last comment
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: on this, my gut tells me that Sarah said something
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: casually like, man, isn't it crazy that somebody is actually
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: going to get engaged after two months? It's a very
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: fair comment. Yeah, it's very fair comment. All right, Well,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: let's take a break and we will get into Teddy's
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: one on one when we return. So they go to Croatia.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Looks beautiful there, and uh, Clayton says, Okay, we're gonna
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: do a one on one right now, And he asked Teddy,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: who besides Amra I think is the last girl to
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: get a one on one in this group. And they
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: have a great time, just like roaming the streets. I
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: like this casual kind of day. And then she she
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: previews the fact that later that night she's going to
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: tell him about her virginity. She ends up saying that
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: her mom had a baby in high school and she
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: had the pressure to not make the same mistake. Um.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: Growing up, she felt like she had pressure to wait,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: but she's very much comfortable in her decision that like
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: she's waiting for love, she's not waiting for marriage. UM,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: She's just looking for that emotional connection. She also says
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: that she has never been in love before, and Clayton
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: takes all this like really well, I mean, I think
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: he's surprised that she's never been in love before. UM,
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: but he's definitely not freaked out by the virginity thing
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: at all. He isn't. He does handle it well and
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: takes it in stride. And I thought she I mean,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: I've always been impressed with Teddy. I thought she did
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: a great job at kind of walking into the conversation too,
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: by saying, here, here's where I'm actually at, like, you know,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: this is where my life story is. This is why
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: I've made this decision. She didn't try to make it this, um,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: I'm a virgin thing, and if she wasn't me Basically,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: I wish I was able to explain what I forget
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: how you presented it. But I felt like she didn't
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: make it like the topic that was to be focused on. Instead,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: she made about it. Yeah, she made the story and
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: the reasoning behind her decision the thing to be focused on,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it has to be a wild
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: thing to talk about on national television. You would know, Ashley.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: It's just usually such such an intimate conversation but important.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: She had the right time, you know, like she was
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: on a nice casual one on one It was the
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: right timing to do so. And obviously I'm not sorry.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: I maybe I am a little surprised. I thought this
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: would be a bigger storyline than I feel like it's
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: going to be for the rest of the season like
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: every other but I think they've burnt out that whole
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: hum a virgin storyline. It's like totally so it's not
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: really a thing that can be focused on anymore because
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: it's like, okay, cool, like this is dec as you made.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Ben. The one thing that they haven't
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: done with the virgin, which there has been so many
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: of the past seven years, is somebody losing that v
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: card in the fantasy sleep, and I really just feel
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: like that is what they're teeing up with with them
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: constantly saying I was intimate with both of you, is
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: intimate with both of you? I mean like that just
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: would normally kind of be something that you is that
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: I think that people assume, like we said a zillion
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: times in this podcast, I don't think most leads sleep
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: with all three people or and I think a lot
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: of them only sleep with one person. And who knows,
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: you know, who knows like the actual stats on that,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: But I feel like the fact that they keep saying
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: both of you makes it has to be it has
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: to be here. I would say this, I'll give my prejudgment.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: If Clayton sleeps with Teddy after she clearly said hey,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: I'm waiting, not necessarily towards marriage, but I'm waiting for
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: the right guy, and then he doesn't end up with her,
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: I feel like that was a very poor decision from him,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: one that I don't think I could support. Yes, I
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: agree completely. So the group date they like have this
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: medieval festival basically, uh, This is where Mara continues to
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: get more insecure about like her status there. She ends
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: up telling Clayton at the evening portion that she feels
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: like somebody, somebody alluding very strongly towards Sarah is not there. Seriously,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: she's not wife material like she is. She's too young.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: She said things that make her raise a brow. Um,
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: and this is all going to play a role in
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: sarah state. Um. The other thing that comes up here
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: is just more time Rachel. He she says she's falling
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: in love with him. He's obsessed with hearing this again,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: another moment that's showing that Rachel is a serious front runner.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: And then the other thing that happens before Sarah's date
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: is Susie surprises him by writing him a little note,
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: which he receives when he gets back to his room
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: that night, says, meet me at the clock tower. It's
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: little like well, kind of like a Titanic reference there,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: you meet me at the clock I wonder if she
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: thought that or if that's just my Titanic brain here
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: thinking it. Um. But he is so nervous going to
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: the clock not knowing like whether he's going to kind
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: of get dumped, what's coming at him, if he's going
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: to like the person. Then he sees waiting there and
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: he is very excited, so so happy to see Susie,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: which again is making me feel like the pecking order
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: here is Rachel Susie Teddy. They go up in the
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: clock tower to the roof and Susie says that she
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: basically feels like she's starting to fall for him, and
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: he says, like that is like the most exhilarating thing.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: He's so happy to hear about that. So then we
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: fast forward to the next day, which is kind of
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: confusing because it was like nighttime, and then we went
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: directly again into nighttime. I feel like they may have
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: cut out the part where Sarah like Sarah's daytime portion
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: of the date. I really do think that they did
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: for timing wise. Maybe there wasn't anything super interesting that
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: went down there. But we get fast forwarded, supposedly in
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: my head, to them going to dinner, and this is
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: when Clayton brings up the fact that Mara. I don't
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: know that he never mentions Mara by name, um, but
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: he's says that somebody in the house told him about
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: their concerns about her, her age, um things that she said.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: She gets super emotional, She is very shocked. She says
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: it's the opposite of what she said. She says that
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: she can see a future with him. She says that
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: there's nothing to gain. Um, she has nothing to gain
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: from lying to him. Is totally there for him, and
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: she says that she feels like she could she she
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: feels like she could be engaged to him after their dates,
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: and um, basically he steps away for a minute. She's
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: like breaking down. She says, it's clear that somebody is
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: like upset with you know, like she's upset with anybody
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: talking behind her back. Um, kind of like making things up.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: She says she doesn't want to lose him over a lie.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: And then he comes back and gives her a rose. Uh,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: says he believes her and doesn't believe the accusations are true.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: And then we get this nice little tease of her
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: kind of walking into the suite with the girls again,
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: and it says to be continued, and uh, I guess
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: next week we will see the show down between Mara
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: and Sarah and we'll see if other girls can back
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: up what Mara has said about Sarah. Well, what a
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: great rundown with you, Ashley. But we did get the
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: scenes in the next episode. It looks like to me,
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: the big question is this Sarah going to be the
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: next villain, Like, is there gonna be something that comes
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: out as we watch where maybe she did say something,
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: maybe she's not ready, maybe she's not there for the
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: right reasons, and it may be causes more drama than
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: expected within the house or around Sarah. Ashley, what's your guess. Mmm,
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of torn. I'm kind of torn for drama's sake.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I kind of want Sarah to have said something and
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: the other girls to be like, yeah, she did. I
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: think it would make for an interesting end of the
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: season because it sounds like we got a lot to
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: look forward to, and I think it will be our
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: last bit of drama before hometowns where everything just gets
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: romantic and then well, and then they'll be the whole
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: I slept with all of you and then extra romantic
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: if you want to call it that. Hey, Ashley, what
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: a great rundown Again. We'll be back into a second
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: with our resident expert who's been gone for a bit.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: But I'm excited to have that's me, that's still me,
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: that's actually doing bachelor headlines. It's time for bachelor headlines.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Ashley's back to break them down. So here's the first
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: headline of today, and we got a couple of good.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: One says was about to be announced as the bachelorette
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: until Ellen the Generous advocated for the Anna Pappus. Wow,
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: what a story. Okay, so you guys probably know Coshell
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: from UM selling Sunset, which is super popular Netflix Netflix show.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: She also was married to Justin Hartley from This Is
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: Us for four years. They got divorced I think in
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: not But anyway, back in the two thousands, two thousand
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: eight ish, she was supposedly signed on to be the
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: next Bachelorette. She said that like ABC had contracted her,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: they were ready to announce her as the Bachelorette. And
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: at the time she was a soap star. She was
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: on All My Children, so she wasn't totally random, and
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: she actually was in the ABC family because All My
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: Children back then was on ABC. But then she blames
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: in sort of a way in her new memoir called
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Under Construction, because living My Best Life took a little
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: work um, which comes out Tuesday. She she yeah, she
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: kind of blames Ellen de Generous for being a proponent
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: and advocate for Deanna Pappas to be the Bachelorette after
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: she was dumped by UM by Brad Walmack in his
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: first season when it came between her and Jenny Croft.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah. She She says that it was because Ellen
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: was such an advocate for Deanna being the bachelorette. She
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: said she was kicked off her spot was taken over
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: by Dianna because the fans are really rallying around her.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: The network was listening, her announcement was pulled. This is
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: what she says verbatim in her book. She said she
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: never got a chance to have to hand out that
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: fateful rose. I was in my mid twenties at the time,
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: and I was definitely bummed. That is that is some
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: shocking news. I definitely don't think it was just Ellen
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: backing Deanna that made her the bachelorette. I think that
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: she was probably an obvious choice. I think Krischelle was
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: definitely less of an obvious choice, being that she wasn't
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: even part of the Bachelor franchise at that point, and
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: and and at that point, we were only taking bachelorette's.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: You were only making people who were on the Bachelor bachelorettes.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: So I know, Deanna seems like the obvious answer and
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: Krischelle seems a little less obvious. But but there you go. Guys,
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: um you could have had Krischell Stouse be a bachelorette
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: at one point. You know, maybe they should stuntcast her
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: now for the next season. It's not too late. She's forty.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: I believe she is newly single, and maybe we need
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: somebody with more of a celebrity status to be the
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: lead next season to get these writings up. Interesting to here,
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: but we know how I played out now, and who
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: knows how would have played out if Chris Shaw was
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: the bachelorette. Well, next headline is this bachelor lum Hannah
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: and cheers on boyfriend Jake Funk recently announced as Rams
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: play in Super Bowl. Yesterday was the first time Hannah
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: and posted anything about her and Jake. She posted the
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: two of them kissing. It looked like in um a
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: hotel room before he took the field in the Super Bowl,
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: which is pretty good. She said, good luck kiss uh.
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: There have been rumors over the past couple of weeks
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: that they have been dating, and then today she posted
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: um a real on Instagram of the two of them
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: celebrating on the field after the game during the trophy ceremony.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: So that's pretty cool. Congrats to Jake for winning the
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl and Hannah and for being in what seems
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: like a very loving, happy relationship. She seems super happy well, Uh,
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: next headline is Bachelor's Matt James. I was here for
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: this drills photog with her terrific t shot at pro
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: am golf event in Phoenix. It's the Waste Management Open.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: If you were there, tell us what happens. I mean,
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: he just drilled him, like I mean Matt, Matt's not
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: a golfer. Uh, he was doing like a celebrity shot.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: When you mean drill, does that mean you did hit?
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: He hit him? Oh? Hit him hard? Oh yeah. He
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: says that he nearly hit the guy in the balls.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: He did know he so first swing he chunk, He
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: totally whips it, hits about two ft behind the ball,
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: gets up again, swings again toes it right into the
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: photographer sitting in front of him. Like these photographers had
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: no fear that they were going to get hit because
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: they're like five yards in front and ten yards to
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: the right of the guy's teeing off and Matt found
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: a way and drilled him. Uh. It kind of went viral.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know if Matt will be playing much golf
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: publicly anymore after this moment, but he didn't feel bad,
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: ran over and apologize to the guy after hitting him.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: He did. He felt bad, he said, this is a
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: little strange. He I'm going to sign this ball for him,
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: and then I'm going to take him to dinner. I
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: don't know if guy cares about you signing a ball. Yeah,
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much he does. He also said,
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: I felt bad. I felt it. Next year, I'm wearing
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: a cup. That's what the photox said. He felt bad.
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: He did, he got he got hit. You can watch
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: the video. I don't how much a bachelor's signature sells
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: for I'm doubting it's enough to make up for getting
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: hit by a golf ball. But at dinner would be nice.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: Maybe just give him a gift card, let him take
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: his wife out. I don't know. Um, Well, the Bachelor
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: in Paradise is Marissa Gunns says she's feeling better than
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: ever the comment after Riley Christian split. Yeah, she goes,
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: I'm back, baby, feeling better than ever. I know we're
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: already in the month of February, but this year I've
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: decided to focus on me put me first. Says that
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: the past three months haven't been easy. Um, but let
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: me tell you today, I feel amazing. She's taking time
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: to heal at her own pace. It's the best thing
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: she could do. She said, she would not be anywhere
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: without the amazing support system that she has. Um, and
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: she's thinking everybody who helped her through. Well a headline
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: that happened about I don't know a month ago. It's
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: kind of perpetuated by the media. Amanda Clutes, who was
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: in one of America's favorites right now, addresses those Michael
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: A rumors from The Bachelor. Obviously they're seen like taking
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: a picture together, looked really cute. Well, she now speaks
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: out on it. She said, if they were dating, Um,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: she told you news this, we wouldn't be like snapping
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: pictures and posing it, Okay, she said, But she isn't
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: mad about the rumors. She goes, I know it comes
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: from all from a good place. UM, but you know
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's not happening. She hasn't. You know, she's
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: been He's been a great support system online. Um, and
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: all the fans just want to see them like succeed
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: in life and find love again. So it's been really
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: sweet to like kind of have the fans want them
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: be together. But again, UM, that they wouldn't be posting
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: the love if it was romantic. I was kind of
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: hoping they maybe they give it a shot. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: like this is disappointing. Yeah, I mean it's been nice.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: They look cute together, but also nice people. Nice people
