  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: It's time for Bachelor headlines. We got a lot of
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: headlines this week, some big ones kind of coming across
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: all of our twitters or news channels. The first one
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: is obviously this week, I should preface with saying that.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Nick and Natalie got married.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: There's gonna be no headlines today about that because we
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: have a whole separate episode kind of covering that wedding
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: and all the things that happened behind the scenes. So
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: go back and listen to that if you want to
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: hear more about Nick and Natalie's wedding that just happened
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: this past weekend. Along with their wedding, Stage Coach was
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: happening and some you know, Bachelor other reality show crossover
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: moments happened at Stage Coach this year. Ashley tell us
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: Well, we saw that Tyler Cameron was there and he
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: was catching up with Maria from this past season, who
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: also did her first big interview this week, and we're
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: getting some headlines about that interview. We'll get to that later.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: But Tyler was also supposed to be at well, he
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: was invited to Nick and Natalie's wedding he was unable
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: to attend for I believe a business commitment that he
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: had at Stagecoach. Also, Daisy Kent was there and she
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: was there with her new boyfriend who was actually a
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: former flame. His name is Thor Thor. The dude's name
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: is Thor. Isn't that crazy?
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: His solid name, solid name.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: So maybe we'll get more from Daisy about that soon.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: We also saw Joey and Kelsey there and Jason Tarctic
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: with wow Us Weekly kind of messed up here. He
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: called Kat strict Tickler his fiance. I would say they
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: are not engaged, but his I think we can safely
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: say girlfriend now Kat Stickler TikTok Star. Yeah, they were
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: seen kissing, so I think we could call that thing official.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Obviously.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: That kind of leads us into the next headline. The
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Jason Tarctic Cat Strickler rumor had been kind of floating
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: around for a while now. People were speculating that they
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: were kind of dating. So just for people that are
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: unfamiliar with Cat, she's popular on TikTok. She has a
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: four year old daughter, I believe, and she's known Ashley
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: for her kind of comedic takes on life experiences. Motherhood
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: kind of her own life.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Correct, Yes, so my sister filled me in a little
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: bit on her. But she kind of came to fame
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: on TikTok during COVID and it was a lot of
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: family content between her husband and their newborn baby, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: they ended up getting divorced and like being like, hey, actually,
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: even though we do funny tiktoks here, we're getting divorced.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: So there was that, and now she's been hanging out
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: with a lot of Bachelor alum alongside Jason. Like, maybe
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: you ben have gone to dinner with her once.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I might have. Yes, I think I did. I think
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I saw this one coming.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we did get to see the two of
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: them together, and hey, it's not my place to come
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: out and announce relationships until they're ready, and so this
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: is obviously a moment where they're ready because they're going
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: out in public now. They seem very happy, very curious
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: about each other when we were at dinner.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: But maybe you know this. Did they meet on the
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: podcast because he did a podcast episode with her. I
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: know that he just recently put out an Instagram reel
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: with that podcast, But I think the podcast episode dropped
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: a month or so ago.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Interesting.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: He banks episodes ahead of time, and I was just
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: wondering because you know, that's how you met Caitlin through
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: a podcast episode.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Wow, what a channel.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: So some people slide into dms and some people just
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: you know, have them on a pod.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: And ask them a bunch of questions and say, hey,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I'm actually more curious about you. Can I take you
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: to dinner tonight?
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know actually how they met. I did get
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: to sit beside the two of them, but she was
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: on the other side of Jason, and I was kind
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: of catching up with Jason, and I do know at
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: that time they were not ready to be public.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I would say that they've probably been together for
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: like three to four months.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Wow, So I'll wait, is that cross that?
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: No?
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Mean late February is when they were starting that they
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: were seen on that vacation together.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess if you're going on vacation with somebody, probably, yeah,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: you're probably interested. When Kaitlin and Jason break up July.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: It's almost been a year since they broke up. Yeah, goodness, gracious,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I can't keep up with all this all the time.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: This is why I got you. I'm good calendar and
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: you're a good calendar. Speaking of TikTok, actually, I was
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: scrolling on TikTok and saw an interesting TikTok about Jason
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Ritter and his you know wife. It's a really funny TikTok.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Have you seen it?
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: No, But I know that Jason Ritter and Melanie Lynsky
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: are big Bachelor fans. Jared has met them Mountain event
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: and so that they were like the sweetest and they
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: were the one that came up to him and they
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: were all like, well, I love the Bachelor.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. So here's the story.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: She is claiming that she didn't know she was engaged
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: to Jason when they first got engaged. The TikTok talks
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: about how she went to this jewelry store and saw
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: this ring. She loved the ring, but she said it
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: looked too like wedding ringish, engagement ringish, so she didn't
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: buy it. She went home and they were watching The Bachelor,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: and he pauses The Bachelor in the middle of it,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: she said, and hands her this ring that she had
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: just seen its jewelry store, but doesn't say anything kind
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: of about it, and she's like, thank you, this is
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: a really nice ring. And they start watching The Bachelor again. Well,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: a couple of days later, they're going to a family
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: reunion and at this family party, Jason starts introducing her
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: as his fiance and she's like, I did not know
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: we were engaged. She's like, he thought he proposed to
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: me in that moment. I don't think he did, and
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: so they kind of had to do a rough redo.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: So a couple things from this their Bachelor fans ciz
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: are I mean, absolutely hilarious.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: It's really funny. If you haven't seen it, go out
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: there and look at it. It's great.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: That is so funny. What was he thinking in the
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: middle of a Bachelor episode just to like a hand
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: her or ring and no speech, no will you marry me?
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I like the idea that The Bachelor was like, he
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: was like, Hey, how should I do this?
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: And how do I do it in a sweet way?
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Let's do it during the Bachelor.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: I mean that's probably what he thought. He was like,
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Oh the show talk romance for me.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know. Well, it's a funny story.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Well, next headline is this Bachelor lum Arileindyke admits he
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: rushed into getting a vasectomy.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: This is so interesting because the last time I talked
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: to them, they were so done with kids. But during
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: a recent Q and A, Lauren was asked whether or
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: not she'd want more kids, and she said, well, Ari
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: did have a vasectomy over a year ago, but now
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: i feel like we rushed it a bit. I'm not
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: sure that I'm done yet. So, you know, the second
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: mes are supposed to be relatively easy to reverse. Sometimes
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: there's about.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: One of them, not only get two of them.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, could you imagine oh getting a sectamy
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: having to reverse it?
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: You guys are babies. I don't think that you're pretty
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: much totally not.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I have no problem admitting that I'm a baby, but
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: the idea of it just absolutely terrifies me.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: I honestly don't really know what the procedure looks like.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I have an idea, well, I have an idea in
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: my head. I also had a couple buddies get them
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and have really bad experiences. I have a couple that
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: have really good experience. If I have one body who
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: is like laid up for a week afterwards because things
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: didn't go according to plan, and that just scares me. Actually,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know it just like makes it makes me tingle.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: It should make you tingle.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: That makes sense.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Do you know where the incision point is?
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I do, at least with my buddy, I do.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: It's under the.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Pubic bone or said by the balls.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I guess down there. Yeah, it's down there underneath. I
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: think we call it underneath.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I called it the undercarriage. I don't know what other
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: people call it. I don't know the medical term.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Well, you know our he might be going back to
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: the office.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: That would be wild, good for him. That seems like
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: a YouTube video waiting to happen.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah for sure.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Well, final headline of the day is bachelor.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Actually, actually, don't say final. We definitely have to talk
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: about those Maria tiktoks Oh okay.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Next headline is this Bachelor Nation's Haley Ferguson gives birth
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: the baby number one with husband Oola.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Yes, so for so. Hailey was very open about her
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: struggles with infertility there. This first child is a dream
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: come true, as she said via IVF. And the baby's
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: name is a baby's name? Is is it lovey Lousy?
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Louv. I think it's Louis l.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: U v I Levine Paul ve, which is very nice, beautiful,
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: very nice said you know the he said, you're the
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: love that we've always known was coming. The baby was
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: born over the weekend, I believe, because she posted this
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: welcome to the World post on Monday.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Absolutely awesome.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Congratulations to the two of them, welcoming new life into
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: this world. Final headline of today is Maria has been
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: on Call Her Daddy. That's been a big thing within
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Bachelor Nation. Call Her Daddy is a huge podcast and
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: not many from Bachelor Nation have been a part of
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: the recording. It kind of has swept i'd say, Bacheloration
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: by storm, just the fact that Maria was going on
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: and she's telling her story. Tiktoks have now been released
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: kind of about the episode.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: And the juicy parts of the episode.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so Ashley tell us more.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Well, Okay, so she has this strange theory that like
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: me and Nick were in on trying to create a
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: villain out of Maria. So no, I didn't even know
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: who Maria was beforehand, but she has this conspiracy theory
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: that Nick and I got together with Sydney. We brought
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Sydney to production and we're like, hey, this is our friend.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Sydney she'd be great to take down the villain or
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: something of this season. I actually is kind of she
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: needs to explain her theory a little bit better. But
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: the reasoning that she had, the reason that she had
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: a little suspicion was just because there's a picture of Sidney,
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Nick and I from I think September twenty twenty two
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: when Nick came to Audrey's for his book signing and
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: then Sydney was Audrey's social media coordinator and she took
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: a picture with Nick, quick picture. Don't even know that.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we took her. We took Nick and Natalie
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: to her vintage store in Newport. May have taken a
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: picture there, who knows, But that was it. Nick and
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Sidney had not spoken and have not spoken since this
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: event in September twenty twenty two. He has absolutely no
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: relationship with Sidney. So if you're wondering why the heck
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: and Nick would care about bringing Maria down in any way,
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Supposedly the two of them spoke in like a flirty
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: way years and years ago before she he and Natalie
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: were together. It was like dming. I don't know if
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: they ever met in real life, but that's why Nick
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: was like, Oh, this girl Maria is going on the
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: going on the show. She's such a villain. I think
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: what she said in this TikTok on the podcast was
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: that Nick one time warned me while we were talking
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: years ago that if I were to ever do the show,
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: I would be the villain. So in her conspiracy, he
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: wanted to make sure that she was the villain, and
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: then hired this girl Sydney for the producers to bring
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: her down. It's not an accurate It's not an accurate
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: theory whatsoever. Nick does not know Sidney. In fact, Nick
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: thought Sidney was absolutely ridiculous on the show and called
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: me to talk about, you know how she is in
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: real life.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Still you have it, you have behind the scenes now
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: of the conspiracy for Ashley to bring down Maria.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: It's like and I also had no idea was until
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Sidney got back from the show and was like, so
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: there was this girl named Maria.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, if you plan this conspiracy, this
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: was not a genius planning because only one person kind
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: of got brought down, and that was Sidney. Maria kind
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: of has shined and taken off from this experience.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was like, oh wait, you weren't even the villain,
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: and it was like Sidney was the villain.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: I would expect you to be a lot better at
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: planning a conspiracy, Like I feel like you'd be pretty
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: good at it if you could really think it through.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Thank you're a gamer, and this one was not thought through.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: I'm really good at like being a mastermind.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, given enough time, Ashley can absolutely.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: And I'm not going anything when like, the producers are
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: the ones that actually have the hands at work.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: You know, they get they get paid to actually be mastermind.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: They get paid big bucks for it. All Right, So
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: you have it there. You have the inside track to
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: the conspiracy that never existed. There was no Ashley is
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: telling us that there was no behind the scenes planning
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: with Nick and Jared and Ashley and Sidney to make
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: anything happen this year on the show.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Correct?
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, Hey, that's all the headlines we have for you today.
