  Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with our radio. Hello everyone, welcome to a very quick
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: breaking news episode of the Almost Famous podcast. It's me
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Ashley solo, with a little aid from one of my
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: best producers out there, Hannah Um. She'll chime in a
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: little bit, but we are here to talk about Gabby
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and Eric's breakup. Ben is not able to be here
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: tonight as it is extremely short notice, but let steve in.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: A couple of days ago some we got some really
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: weird sound bites from her after Dancing with the Stars. Well,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I should first off say this is very sad, but
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: in my book, totally expected, so I guess I can't
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: be really sad about something that I saw coming. But
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: of course we're sad about anybody whose hearts are broken,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and like any relationship that ends, especially from a franchise
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: that you know, Ben and I hold so sacred. But anyway,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: so this is the quote. The other day after Dancing
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: with the Stars, she told the press, I think like
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: they were talking about how she didn't have an engagement
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: ring on and how like he hasn't been in the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: audience supporting her dancing with the Stars, and she said,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I think life is just really busy for the both
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: of us right now, So I understand their concern, but
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: we're just kind of, you know, going forward with each
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: of our individual interests in supporting each other from afar. Okay,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: So that is a very nice roundabout way to say
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: that we're not really together anymore. We're supporting each other
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: from afar. Very sad um, but yeah, that with the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: no ring, you could have said a couple of days
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: ago they were broken up, but now we have confirmation.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: So yeah, people, the headline says that Gabby and Eric
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: are going their separate ways. People has confirmed, but neither
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: of them have taken to Instagram with their own personal statements.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Yet I just kind of knew this was happening. It
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: was just very I mean, I don't want to say
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: that I'm a know it all or anything, because I'm
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: certainly not. But guys, it doesn't take a body language
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: expert to tell that there was something off at after
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the final Rows. There was so much drama that week
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: surrounding Eric one. There was the fact that, um, his
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: black face pictures came out from the yearbook, and that
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: was an issue in their relationship. Of course, Um, Gabby
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: mentioned that they had had those discussions, and then there
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: was the fact that he had a girl that he
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: was dating going into the season. I know, he said
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: that they were a girlfriend and boyfriend, and then he
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: just knew that they weren't going to work out. So
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: it was kind of a nice roundabout way to be like, hey,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on the show. He he just made
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it seem like, okay, she was fun for the time,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't like something to revolve his life around.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: So that was you know that I was quite telling. Uh,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I think it's might be surprising how soon it ended. Um,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you know, it has been only about a month, maybe
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: five weeks since that finale, so it is very sad.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: We wish the two of them, Um, you know, nothing
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: but the best of course going forward in love and life.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: And we hope that Gabby continues to slay on Dancing
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: with the Stars. She's doing so well there. And I
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: know there's a lot of fans out there hoping that
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Gabby becomes the Bachelorette again and gets to do this
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: journey in solo fashion, or maybe we'll get to see
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: her on Bachelor in Paradise. I know that a lot
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: of fans are hoping to see Gabby more beyond Dancing
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: with the Stars, and this might be their way to
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: get more. Hannah, our producer, she's here and she just
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: wanted to say something about Eric in real life because
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: he might be like a Nick Vial, which I know
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: people have compared their physical appearances, but when I met Nick,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I get it. Like this guy's sexy.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: He has like an aura. There's something very alluring about
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: him in real life, because like on TV you're like, Okay,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: it's cute, but like, but is it all that? And
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: then you're like sitting next to them and you're like, oh,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: it's all that. And apparently Hannah says that she gets
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Eric like a totally different level now totally. I mean
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I went to watch Dancing with the Stars taping a
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago and saw him in the flesh
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and he's like way more attractive than it comes off
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: on TV um and he's always out in Santa Monica.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I've seen him a couple of times out there too,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and I get it now. I didn't get it when
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I was watching Gabby and Rachel's season, but I totally
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: got it. You've seen him out and about in Santa Monica,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: just like happened to like run into him at places. Yeah,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: a couple of bars. He would be there with his
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: guy friends. Never with a girl. No, never with a girl.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: But I'm just so curious when people break up like this.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I just want to know everything, And I want to
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: know if it was more Gabby wanting the breakup or
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Eric maybe for selfish reasons because she's trying to shoot
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: her shot now, guys, she wants to have given ericson. Okay,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: guys that she can like next time she runs into
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: him at a bar. Is he so devastated over this
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: or want it? And can I approach him next time
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I see him out? And I feel like he was
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: maybe a little bit mutual. How was their body language
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: on Dancing with the Stars normal? Like I would not
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: have suspected anything. He brought her flowers, he stood up
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: every time she came onto the stage. He was hooting
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and hollering, Like I couldn't tell that anything was. They
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: were really key together. So the other day when she
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: said the quote about them supporting each other from Afar,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: it happened to also be the same day that he
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: tweeted out supporting Gabby on Dancing with the Stars, saying
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: to vote for her. So so I think that like
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: they might be on decent terms. I think so too.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I think it's mutual they have respect for each other,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: because I saw too when I saw that interview. Of course,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I immediately went to his Instagram and just check to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: see if he posted anything like the creep I am,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And he posted like the voting instructions for her, So
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I mean he clearly still supports her and cares about her. Well,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I wonder if that means that she was the one
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: instigating the break up. Unfortunately, that's kind of the vibe
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I'm getting. Okay, Well, it just sucks to go through
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: an entire season. Not as a of course, as a fan,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you want to watch a season and then end with
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: a couple who will be lasting. But I always think
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: about the girls and the guys who they get picked
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to be the lead, And you'll never get the opportunity
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to be the lead on a reality dating show and
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: have thirty people all wanting you, like just they're in
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: that vicinity, like just dedicating their life for a certain
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: amount of time to be in with you, and then
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: you fit picked someone in the end and then it
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: just last two months. You know when did that series
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: of rap filming? Um? You know? Okay, so maybe it
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: was like early June, so they were together for five months.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: It just sucks. That makes me sad, makes me sad
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: for everyone. But I don't again, don't think this was
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: a huge surprise because there's a lot that came out
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: about Eric and it seemed as if they were always
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: fighting on the show. To remember how they I'm talking
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to Hanna right now when I say, remember guys them,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: but remember how they were like always off communication wise,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and they even said, like our communication is always like
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: there's just some blockage always in it. So it just
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: kind of felt doomed. And I don't I don't like,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I hate saying that, like a relationships seemed doomed in
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: front of our eyes. But we all knew that they
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: had their issues and there's gonna be a lot to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: work through. And his dad passed away. So can you
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: imagine you went on the Bachelorette, you come home and
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: in the amount of time the months that you're home,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: your dad passes away. That's obviously such a huge emotional
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: like load. And then you're not only supposed to deal
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: with mourning that loss, but also dating somebody in such
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: a public way, and then he's got the own his
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: own drama to deal with. That comes out of the woodwork.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: And I feel like that's just so hard for anyone,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: no matter what situation. When you're in you're dealing with
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the parents death, you just went on this reality TV show,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: then you're having to watch yourself back. Then your kind
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: of whole world gets flipped upside down. You're getting all
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: this attention, and then your fiance is on Dancing with
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the Stars. Like, that's just a lot, so so much.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: And when I say draw will comes out of the woodwork,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I mean the girlfriend. I don't not talking about the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: black face comment. That is a whole other moral situation.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot of heaviness in this relationship. Well,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: thank you for joining us for this quick little speculation
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: session on Gabby and Eric's breakup. We love you, guys,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and we are sending love to Gabby and Eric during
• 9:44

• 9:46
