  Speaker 2: welcome to the show, Heather, You're always here, but welcome
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: on air.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Thank you Ashley for having me. Normally I'm testing you
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: on the side during these things, but now you get
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: to hear my thoughts in real time.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Yes, so so happy. So we have a huge announcement.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: The biggest one came while we were about to hit
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: record on this podcast. Jojo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers are
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: about to have their first baby, Baby Rogers, coming January
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, and she mentioned the first line of
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: the Instagram caption she said, I love you so much already,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: our sweet rainbow baby, which of course alludes to the
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: fact that they have had a miscarriage before. She hasn't
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: been open about it. I'm sure, well, I'm not sure.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: She doesn't need to be maybe she will, maybe she
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: won't talk about that at some point now that she
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: has this joy. But we are so happy for them. Congratulations.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: We know that this has been in the hopes for
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: a while, anything.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: To have there, and so can I just say, maybe
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: one of the most gorgeous couples to ever come out
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: of Bachelor Nation, like having, you know, starting a family together.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I am so excited for them.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I think that's great.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Ye ask me too. I can't wait to text her
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and see how her pregnancy has been. And I saw
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: her in March, and I'm just really really happy this
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: has happened to her and him. Of course they're gonna
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: be outstanding parents. Those are one of the couples that
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: you feel like, oh, if I had to be born
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: into a family like that is a family to be
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: born and this is gonna be a really lucky baby
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: exactly exactly. Speaking of pregnancy announcements, this one is a
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: little bit more shocking in my opinion. My bachelorette crush
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: one of my favorite bachelorettes to ever be Emily Maynard,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: who has never been on the show, nor does she
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: do any other podcast. She kind of has stepped away
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: from the limelight completely. Her daughter Ricky is pregnant. She's
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: twenty years old, and she announced it yesterday on her
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Instagram stories with kind of a funny thing. You explained
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: this better because you are a Love Island girly, I
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: am not so.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: First of all, I have to say, Emily Maynard and
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Grandma in the same line is not something I was
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: anticipating seeing they neither.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Emily maynerd just had a baby. He's three now, that's insane.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: But yeah, the funny thing is is for the Love
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Island fans out there. We do know that this week
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: was the much anticipated reunion cast member Hooda was asked
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: about her relationship status and she said, you know, Netflix
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: told me I'm not allowed to talk about it, which
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: was you know, jarring. We all know she's in a
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: relationship with Louis from Perfect Match, which is on Netflix,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: which is why she couldn't speak about it because I
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: hadn't been out yet. But that's what Ricky used when
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: making her pregnancy announcement this week, which is pretty funny.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: So we don't have any word from Emily herself. Emily
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: is the mom of six kids now. Jones is three
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Nolah Belle four, Gatlin seven, Gibson eight, Jennings ten and
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: then and she shares all of those with husband Tyler Johnson,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: who she married, oh, I guess about ten eleven years ago.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: And Ricky, if you guys aren't familiar with you know
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Emily's day of the Bachelor and Bachelorette. She shares Ricky
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: with her late fiance, say, Ricky Hendrick. He was a
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: race car driver, and she didn't even know she was
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: pregnant with Ricky until his plane went down, and she's
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: so and then like Ricky was like her little miracle baby,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: realized that she had part of her fiance in her body,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: so that she was a gift. And now she's giving
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: her the gift of being a grandmother, which she's thirty nine.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: And that's just it's just wild because I really watching
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I remember watching Ricky being just a little girl. I
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: guess she was like four. On the Bachelorette. They had
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: it film in North Carolina so she could kind of
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: resume life of normalcy for Ricky and now she's going
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to be a mom herself. Ashley.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Not to make it really weird, but like you and
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I are both not far from thirty nine, Like, can
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: you imagine being a grandma?
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: No, I'm like so mind boggled. Well, I know it exists,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: but this is like what I went to bed thinking
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: last night. I was like, I don't even think Emily's
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: forty yet. And she's going to be a grandma, Like
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: for it's crazy.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Like her kids and her grandchild are going to be
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: growing up together.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like it's gonna be like your uncle is three
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: years older than you. Yeah, they're probably going to go
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to school together. What oh man already. Well, Emily, I'm
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: sure won't be talking about this anywhere other than her
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: own social media whenever she decides.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: To do that.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: But I wish a wish that we could have her
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: on sometime. We'll see Shrek comes out of hiding. It's okay,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: we respect whatever her life decision is. We love to
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: admire her from afar. She's adorable. Let's talk about Deanna
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: pappas another bachelor at Lead. She is now saying no
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: to alcohol. She's the best decision she's ever made. She
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: feels so much better and she actually she actually made
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: this headline on our new podcast, Famously Available. Ben will
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: be hosting that, and she is going to be dating
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: on that we're going to try to play matchmaker, and
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: she says that she's been sleeping better, she's been more
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: clear on herself and more in touch with herself and
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: also more in touch with her higher power. She said
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: that she's had a lot of loss in her life
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: and had to grieve on every level. I just didn't
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: grieve the loss of my marriage and my ex husband.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I didn't just have to grieve those things, but the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: loss of his family. And she said that in those
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: moments she chose to drink. My affair was with alcohol,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: and that was my piece to Carrie. I've chosen to
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: given up alcohol. Clearly it was unhealthy for me. I
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: just took a deep look at my life and where
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: it was going, and it wasn't headed in a direction
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: where I wanted it to. And if alcohol was the
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: one thing that I could give up, then by all
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: means I was willing to do it. So we appreciate
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Dianna for being so open on Famously Available, and make
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: sure that if you want more on Deanna's journey to

• 14:05
  Speaker 3: about what's happening here, but cute. Nonetheless, I'm kind of.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Because they didn't hold hands like this on the actual show, right.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: No, as far as I've gotten in the show, he
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: leaves before she even got onto.

• 15:04
  Speaker 2: of these guys. They could just be Netflix cast members,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: production crew, who the hell knows. But she also could
• 15:12
