  Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Hey everybody, welcome back to the Almost Famous podcast. We've
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: missed you very much and I've missed my co host
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: so much, Ashley. The holiday season I think today we
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: could officially say it's like over.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: It's so sad, Ben, Is it sad? Why are people
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: wanting to go back to work? Yeah?
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Had four meetings today, let's average at two people on
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: each meeting. I'd say it's a fifty to fifty split
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: on how people are feeling about the holidays being over.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Moms of teenagers are very much in favor of the
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: holidays being over. They said the kids ate through their house,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: they slept in all day. They you know, they were
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: around too much. Now, I'd say people like you and
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I with like little kids, were like, this was the
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: best couple weeks ever because we spent I spent so
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: much time doing nothing during the day with Winnie. It
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: was awesome.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah. My TikTok algorithm is all moms being like, hell lujah,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: they're back, or like, can you please send them back? Now?
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I'm going crazy. I'm like, this was awesome because I
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: got to spend time with the kids without me stressing
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: that I had to get something else done while being
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: with them.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I still have a strategy. Here's what I do. I
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: wake up every morning, I get my coffee, and I
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: come and sit up my computer for somewhere between thirty
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: minutes and an hour, even on days that nobody else
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: is working, just to stay ahead so that days like
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: today don't feel like you're getting like hit in the
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: face with a bombarding amount of emails. I actually still
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: do that on vacation when Jess and I take a vacare. Yeah,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I will spend all and I limit it. It's not
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to get in the weeds of anything,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: but it's like thirty minutes to an hour at some
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: point during the day just to try to stay on
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: top of stuff. And I do think that helps because
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: once that's done, I'm done for the day and I
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: have nothing else.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I have been doing that too. I had a couple
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: of days in between that long break and I did.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: It was a long break which people were like, oh,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: it was too long. I still don't understand how you
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: can have too much time off. But okay, where I
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: got on the computer and I did stuff so that
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I could be caught up and not feeling crazy with
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: today as well. But anyway, Ben, during that time, we
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: got lots of bachelor headlines, like actually huge headlines about
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: marriages and babies. It all happened. So are you ready
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: to kick it off.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Let's dive in. Let's start with something that will not
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: be a trend. This is not going to be the
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: marriages and the babies. This is going to be a
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: breakup Bachelor in Paradise. Alum Katzo cryptically teases twenty twenty
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: six status with Dale Moss after breakup.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: So we know that they've been broken up as they
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: have not posted of each other mentioned each other since September.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: And she got on her Instagram TikTok and she did
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: this voice over to taking a minage and she said,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: I took some time off to rest and now it's
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: game time, bitches. And with the caption, she says, all
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: the dms left in twenty twenty five. So our interpretation
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: of this is you sent me some tms boys, and
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I may not have gotten back to you, but now
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: it's game time.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Whoa see?
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Oh And when she says all the dms left in
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, we think that possibly it's like a
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: double entendre because it's DMS, right, but then it's also
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: d period M period, as in Dale Mosses left them
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: This is how I know I'm not that smart is
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: because I see tiktoks like this all the time, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I have no clue what she even meant
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: by the first DM, like all the dms left them, Like,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I don't get it, I don't understand. I need you
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: in my life to explain it. And then then you
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: throw in the fact that it was a double meaning,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: that there's a Dale moss thing in there. I'm like,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: that makes sense to me. This becomes very intriguing also
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: when and how in the world the cat sit down
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: and go, I'm gonna post this video and it's gonna
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: have all these hidden meanings in it. Brilliant from kid
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: is brilliant, brilliant from kat Hey. Before we also get
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: into some of the engagement headlines and the wedding headlines,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I want to just give a shout out to my
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Indiana Hoosiers. As we record this, they are entering into
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the final four of the college football playoffs. They play

  Speaker 2: his now wife Hannah.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, we are obviously so happy for them. They're gorgeous,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: stunning couple, and the photos are unbelievable. They got married
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: in Jupiter, Florida on December twenty seventh, and she's pregnant.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know how how many months she is. I
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: want to say, Like he said that they found out
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: she was pregnant like a month after the engagement. Yeah,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: just around there. So if I'm doing like detective work,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: she's probably around like seven months.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I know. But yeah, they were, they were. They got
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: engaged before they found out that she was pregnant. Guys,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: just like, check out the pictures.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: So pretty.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: And he was saying, like, you know, he's in thirty nine,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: so I guess he's like on the older side to
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: get married or he's alluding to that, but he's like,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: but everything works the way that it's supposed to be.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Thirty nine. It's like, come on, dude, you're fine. Beautiful.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Congratulations guys.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: He might have been a little behind schedule, but then
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: he really found a way to speed things up, and
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: good for him. He's gonna have a blast. They're gonna
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: have a blast. Congratulations to most of them on their
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: beautiful wedding. These next two engagements actually hells.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're so stood.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: We're a shock, and I think they're gonna be a
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: shot shot.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Shock. One was a shock and the other one was
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: like f Yeah.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: This is really exciting. Listeners. Just turn up the radio,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: put in the headphones. We have two engagements that are
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: gonna blow your mind. Chris Bukowski and Anna Redman got engaged.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: The headline is this Bachelor Nation's Chris Bukowski and Anna
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Redmond get engaged in romantic pre top proposal in Costa Rica.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So we know Anna from Matt's season. She was
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: the girl who she had like some funny facial expression.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: She may have been called a villain off her season,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: but a lot will say that she was misunderstood. Chris,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: we know as the dude who has done like seven seasons,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: made appearances on like seven seasons, and Chris has like
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: he kind of had a reputation. I've given him some before,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: but actually love him. He is a great guy. And
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: we've been all following their relationship, dating for I want
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: to say, close to four years now, and they finally
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: he stealed the deal. He proposed to her on New
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Year's Eve in Costa Rica on like a tree top
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: type balcony was all decorated with rose petals. It was
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: it was a rich Carlton resort and that it had happened.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: He said, best friend, fiance, future WiFi. And you know
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: what's funny is a Chris Percassi also thirty nine. Like
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: everybody thinks Chris Perkowski would be like older because he
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: had been on like seven seasons, but he actually just
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: started very young. And what I love about Chris's story
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: is that everybody makes fun of how often he appeared.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: But the thing is the man ended up getting having
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: a bachelor romance and he's marrying a girl he met
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: through the show. If it weren't for his prevalence on
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: the show and her being on the show, they also
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be getting married. So it was all definitely meant
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: to be.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we love a good Chris Bukowski reference. During this
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: podcast we do. In fact, we probably need to bring
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: them on. It's oh my gosh, yes, that's a big deal.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Here's the one that I think surprised me, mostly because
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know it was happening. But that's not
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: like any dish dish towards her. It's just I'm usually
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: behind Bachelor in Paradise's lum. Daniel Maltby is engaged to
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Hallie Bergford. He spells his name ha lll I. So
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: that's why I'm having a little hard time with it.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: So Hallie and Danielle have been dating since March, and
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: she even said she's like, if you had told me
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: the beginning of twenty twenty five that I would meet
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: a guy in March and then be engaged to him
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: by December, like I would be mind blown. But it happened,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: and we were just so being excited because we have
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: watched Danielle over her two seasons of Paradise and also
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: being on nixt season just want love so so much
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: and seemingly like I don't like using the expression so
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: deserving of love, because I do believe that everybody is
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: deserving of love, but Danielle is just kind of like
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: one of those girls where it was like, how is
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: this not happening for her? Like she is the whole package.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: And we saw her break up with Michael and that was,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: you know, a messy one. And I have been following
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Michael on Instagram and Michael Aliol, guys, he is with
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: this girl Jade, and he's been with her for I
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: want to say, like close to two years. She moved
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: in I about a year ago, and I've been expecting
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: that proposal to show up on my Instagram feed, but
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: to see this proposal instead, Like, I'm just so happy
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: that the two of them they broke up, but I
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: think both of them so well know that it was
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: meant to be with other people now and it really
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: it all makes me so happy. So he proposed to her.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I think it was also on New Year's Eve, or
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: is it a couple of days that the gout engage
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: and not New Year's They of the day before December thirtieth,
• 10:12

• 11:40
  Speaker 3: and I hope that they don't get annoyed to that
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: I'm sharing something a little bit private. I don't think
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: they will. But Jojo wasn't due until the middle of January,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: and she ended up having Romi on December twenty third,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: so she was a couple of weeks early and she
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: was breach, so she needed she knew that she was
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: going to need a sea section, but she had no
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: idea that the baby would want to come out earlier
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: than the scheduled sea section. But it all turned out fine.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: And on Christmas, I believe, the two of them posted
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: that they had had romy Romy two days earlier, said Hi,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: mom and dad and baby are all good in the
• 12:26

  Speaker 3: like a retaliation? It's like, who can I hook up
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: with that is gonna make huge headlines? Our producer is saying, yes,
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: it is retaliation for Giselle's marriage. Just happened this month.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: They say that it was instant chemistry in Saint Barth's
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: or whatever the heck they're in, And I'm just like,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: this is the oddest couple of all time. But also
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Alex Earl and Braxton her, I guess he was a
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: jet and then he was in Miami Dolphin, and I
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: guess he still plays. They broke up after two years
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: of dating this like this month they announced that they
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: broke up. So what a perfect situation. They're like, let's
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: get two people jealous right now. Yeah, and how dominant
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: of her, how dominant of Alex to be? Like, oh, Braxton,
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: whatever the heck you are, wait till you watch me
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: hook up with Tom Brady.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: I would like to assume that people, at some point
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: in life choose love based on love and not headlines.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: This is not that situation.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: They're just headlines. These are headlines.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean they're both hot. I mean she's like
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: a hot girl obviously, but like I want him with
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: I want him with a Giselle, you know, like just
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: a gem of the world. No, I don't know Alex,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I don't follow her, I don't know anything. You know,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: It's all just like reputation.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Well, Tom Brady was recently spotted on a yacht with
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Leonardo DiCaprio, and we know Leo's dating. Yeah, so maybe
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Tom's gonna fall into like kind of the Leo phase
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: here where he's you know, dating young dating attractive Who knows.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I just wanted your opinion on it.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Young attractive things ben way to like perk me up,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: because I did have some be Like I told Jared,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: I was like, Jared, did you see Tom with Alex Earle?
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: And He's like, yeah, Like who is she? Like? These
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: types of things don't get him hot and riled up?
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Like me, Yeah, I just wonder Justin and I have
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: been talking about it. That's why I was curing about
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: your thoughts.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Well, what are your thoughts?
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I think it's not cool because she's too young or yeah,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I mean I think, but that's like a thing now.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I think it feels weird to me. It does feel
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: like a headline grabber. Anytime that comes out when somebody's
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: like dating, I feel icky about it because I just
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: don't love the idea of spending time or dating someone
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: strictly for the idea of a headline.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: So you think it was like strictly, strictly for a headline,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: because like I see her motivation and being like I
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: want to hook up with Tom Brady because of to
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: make him jealous, but at the same time, like, can't
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: they just be too hot people that were just like,
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: let's hang out on a boat together instead of like
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: we're I'm sure there was a part of intentionality, but
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: also when you're just too hot people, you're just like, hey,
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: we just think that each other's hot, and like we
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: would have done this. Headlines are not just kind of
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: works out.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Well, That's been the human experience since the beginning of time.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: So maybe maybe I hope that is the case. I
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: don't know enough to make a judgment call, other than
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: if they are doing it because it is a headline,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: then it feels like the cheapest way to objectify somebody else. However,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: if they're both agreeing to it and they're still in
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Saint Bart's living their yacht life, go for it, you know, Alex,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: go for it Tom. Tom has to have a kid
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: like almost Alex's age, though, right, I think that's where
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: things get weird for me.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: I think he's nineteen.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know how old Alex is I don't think.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Alex is that young. Hold on, hold is Alex really? Now,
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: I got to look these things up. She's twenty five.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Just so yeah, it's like zero. This is pretty it's
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: pretty close.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: It's also I just I don't know, Like sometimes it
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: goes through my head where I'd be like Tom Brady's
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: son and I, you know, a nineteen year old dude
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: knows who Alex Earl is. Yeah, that's weird, and then
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, your dad rolls up with her
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, gosh.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: See, that's what I want for Tom though, Like he's
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: forty seven or something. I want him with somebody upper thirties,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: early forties, like super sophisticated, like sexual, like very like,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I just want him with a Giselle.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: We used to have a name form on here. What
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: do we call him, like sex Panthers or something.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I used to call it sex.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: We used to have a name for that Kim like
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Kim exactly, because like he was like rumored to have
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: like a thing with Kim that was ever or anything.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: But like that's who I imagine.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Him with, Oh, like a Kim Kardashian.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, somebody like brain's beauty just like dominance. Okay.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Yaika, we've covered her Danish deception at length
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: on the show. You can go back and listen to
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: that if you aren't familiar with what we're talking about here.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: But Anyaka is back on her social media. She hasn't
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: really left, but this is a big announcement. She gets
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: her first tattoo on what would have been her wedding
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: date to the Danish decepter, so.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: She gets a tattoo. It's in a different language, but
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: the translation is strength comes through pain. There's something about
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: this TikTok that makes me feel weird. It almost feels
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: like she's like kind of hamming it up at this point,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Like she doesn't have like much else to say about
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: this situation, so she's like, watch me go and get
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: a tattoo to document like how shitty my year has been.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this has all been a play to
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: get this on television somehow, someway. Okay, And when it's
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: not picking up the steam or holding the steam that
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: you want it to, I think you do whatever you can,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: but it would be I mean, here's the thing. Everything
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: we learned from the Danish deception. I was kind of
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: shocked the whole time, like, goodness, this was hard, this
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: was weird. There was questions that we asked in that
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: episode along the way, like how did it get to
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: this point? And why wasn't there something stopping it? And
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: why did you keep saying yes? And all those things
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: were questions that I think so many of us have
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: been wondering as we've watched the TikTok. Yeah, you know
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of this is also that self reflection of
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: was this like how like was this like something that
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I should have seen way early on? Like should I
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: say yes to a marriage to a guy that was
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: lying to me? And I knew he was lying to
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: me the whole time?
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: But no matter what, like questions or not, it had
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: to be painful. It had to be confusing. It had
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: to be tough to see your family members give money away,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: and for you to give money away and for him
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: to steal this money, and for you to think you're
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: in love and to fall in love with somebody like this,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: like that has to be pain And so getting a
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: tattoo to market makes sense to me to remember to
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: remember this pivot point. But I think the story's done
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: her first.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: And only tattoo, and yeah, this is kind of like,
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: all right, this is the this is the yeah, you know,
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: what are you gonna do? Like what happens now?
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't have another Tiktoks or Tender Tender Swindler
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: show coming out probably, and that what we got is
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: the Danish deception on TikTok and goodness gracious it gave
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: us hours of entertainment. And thank you for that, Nyika,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: that was definitely I'm glad you shared.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Jess Edwards and Spencer Conley officially move into together into
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: a new home.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so cool, new home, new home, new home, new home,
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: as she posted on Instagram, her and him hugging in
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: their brand new house. So these two spend Christmas, it
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: looks like at her families in North Carolina. He took
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: her to the Biltmore, which is like the most stunning
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: mansion ever, and then the week after Christmas, they moved
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: into their new house in his hometown of Dallas, Texas.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: So congrats guys. The house looks so cute and we're
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: really happy for their successes. I mean, this is kind
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: of six months and then moving in together. How do
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: you feel about that? And you dance a little longer.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: You think it's a little short six months.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: I mean maybe, But then again, they do have this
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: expedited dating experience on Paradise that I do think propels
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: people to feel.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you were like already living together.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like that's kind of my thought is it feels
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: like you've spent so much time together because of Paradise
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: that it makes sense on then making a move in
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: the real world. I would say, yeah, that is a
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: very quick timeline. However, I do think you come out
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: of these shows, and goodness gracious, can any of us
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: doubt Ashley when we watched Paradise and we've met them
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: in person, that those two don't absolutely adore each other.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: We're like, yeah, you were made for each other.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's so true.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: So it makes sense.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: She was living in San Diego, by the way, but
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: she's a Southern girl at heart, so makes sense.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: I just think they're the best. I think they're the
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: one of the cutest couples to come out of backslor Nation.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Definitely adorable. You met them in real life and I
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: haven't met them. Yeah, so you saw.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Kase great hands off of each other. They're just those like, yeah,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: just absolutely in love, adorable and it's adorable. Hey, those
• 26:43
