  Speaker 3: I loved it. This was the best night, Ashley. We're
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: jumping on today. We have a big week in front
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: of us with a lot of good content. A lot
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: of exciting things to come that we'll speak about. Probably
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: you'll hear about it on Wednesday, let's assume that.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: But we jumped on here today because there are some big.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Headlines coming across Bachelor Nation, some that I want to
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: talk to you about, kind of get your insights into,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: and we're just going to start with the first one
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: that is brand new. The headline is this the Bachelorett's
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Brian files for divorce from Rachel Lindsay after four years
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: of marriage.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: This is obviously a.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Huge, huge headline. This is one of our married bachelor.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: It's really unfortunate.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: This is very sad. Of course, it's very sucky. It's
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: not the way to start the new year off the
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Bachelor Nation. Man. I guess there's been a bit of
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: smoke around this couple for a while. We don't know
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: whether there's been any legitimacy to the smoke, though, well
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I suppose now that they're getting divorced, I guess you
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: can say there was.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: But they've just always been super private.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: They came out a couple of years ago just saying that, like,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: it doesn't mean anything's wrong in our relationship. We just
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: don't share it. On Instagram. We're just not going to
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: and I think that that was like met with mixed
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: reviews just because people were like, Okay, but we want
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: to see that, because that's why we follow you, because
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: we watch you on TV and we watch you meet
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and this is what we you know, we get excited
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: to follow the story beyond the TV show, but like
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: we're got used to that, right, And everything that I
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: say now is just just like kind of general thoughts.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: We don't know anything. You know, you and I don't
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: really have a relationship with Rachel or Brian. It's been
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I want to say, like years since I've spoken to
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: either of them, and it's just obviously just sad and
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: sucky and.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: The big news that we have the kind of tie
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: some of the loose strings here. We can only speak
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: on the things that have been released and things that
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: we do know.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Brian spoke so far.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: By the time this goes to air, who knows whether
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Rachel will have tell tell it on the facts.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Ben Well, I mentioned a few weeks ago something weird
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: was happening, and now it's even weirder.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: To me the comments on Instagram.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I kept getting these comments on Instagram on every picture
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: I shared, or messages saying hey, why don't you why
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: don't you start talking on the podcast about Brian filing
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: from for filing for divorce from Rachel?
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: And I was like, because I didn't know that was
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: a thing.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: This person seems like a bot to this person like
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: didn't have a picture, but was commenting on both of
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: our socials.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: But now, okay, so here's my big questions for you
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: more in general. So now this actually is happening, you
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: know they are, Brian is filing for divorce.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: How does how do these people know?
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: How does this information get out there where somebody obviously
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: for the last few weeks, were they just guessing and
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: they got really lucky? Did they know something that nobody
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: else knew? Like how do bots or sleuths or whatever,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: how do they know this information?
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I want to say, this person actually just kind of
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: like that lucky okay, because there hasn't been anything blaring
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: to me. Rachel even was more open than often on
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: a red carpet over the fall, saying that they've been
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: trying to have children, but it's just been harder than
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: she anticipated.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: You know, the whole you think when you're young.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: That like, you just stop using contraception and all of
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: a sudden you're gonna get pregnant and it just doesn't
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: turn out like that. And then she also mentioned something
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: on Nick's podcast a few weeks ago about the same thing.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: So they've apparently been trying for children, and you know, well.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: It is interesting because she did just do Nick's podcast,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: she did mention something that out of everything else, you know,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: what if they don't want us to show themselves on
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: social media. Yes, I'm sure fans were like, hey, that's
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: that's unfortunate. I don't personally really care. That's your deal,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: make your marriage workout is But she did say something
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: there in Knick's podcast that stood out to me that
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: did find find I find it alarming or interesting unique.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: She said they lived two very separate lives, like there
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: wasn't a lot of parallels in their lives that in
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: a marriage does feel weird, right, Like that just isn't
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: how I've ever understood marriage work. But I learned something
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: new about marriage every day. So I was like, that's
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: interesting that they're making a marriage work by living two
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: very different lives that they don't really see each other
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: and there's not a lot of crossover.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: Did you say, like, we don't really see each other often?
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Well, she said that Brian works a lot.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: He works twelve hours a day in his clinic, and
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: she's kind of back and forth doing her stuff, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: so I mean maybe the assumption was made by me
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: that they don't see each other very often, and so
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: that was just a new tidbit that I was like,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: that's interesting. And then you have Brian today come out
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: and he did release a statement. We don't see Brian
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: share a lot on social media, but he did release
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: the statement today. It says, if you've been following me
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: for a while, you know I don't like to put
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: my personal affairs on social media and like to keep
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: a safe space for our family. I mean of you
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: know me as a chiropractor and also as a husband,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: my proudest role. So far, after more than four years
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: of marriage, Rachel and I have made the difficult decision
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: to part ways and start anew. My parents have been
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: married forever and I'm a family man. But sometimes loving
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: yourself and your partner means you must let go. I
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: wanted you to hear it from the source before the
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: blog start making up their own reality. Please respect the
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: space spaces of our family and friends as we figure
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: out our next steps. So that's straight from Brian. It
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: was released today. He did share that once. Obviously, people
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: started to pick up on the news he had filed
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: to report. It's actually kind of interesting. This so far
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: seems to be the first divorce filed in La County
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, people have been commenting it was like the first
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: thing he did that. He it was the first moment
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: he could file in the new year.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: And he went for it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: And he said that the day of separation was New
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Year's Eve, so like, I don't know how that works,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Like do you know more about like the day of separation.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he did file. I mean, there's there's so much
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: in the report, right, he did file for spousal support.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Spousal support, and so spousal support will work as he
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: probably wanted spousal support to be dated as far as
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: as long as he could, right, So if separation was
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: twelve thirty one, that means he is he is claiming
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: to be owed spousal support up until twelve thirty one.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: So he didn't do it weeks earlier because maybe there
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: was a big end of the year check that Rachel
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: or receiving or maybe there was some money coming in
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: that he thought he was maybe entitled to, so he
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: just they probably set this date as twelve thirty one.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: It would be shocking to me if they could file
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: for divorce, fill out of the paperwork, get attorneys rallied around.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: It's the weekend, it's holiday.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: I think weird happened or bad happened on actual New
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: Year's ey.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think this is I mean my assumption again,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: IM not going to go too far into because Brian
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: has asked for that space, but my assumption is that
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: twelve thirty one is not actually the day of separation.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: It is the legal claim that Brian's attorneys have taken
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: to say, hey, he is owed espousal support since he
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: is asking.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: An entire year for the entire year.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Basically, people have been talking about and seeing comments about
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: people making fun of the fact that you may know
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: me as a Cairo practic, Like why did you bring
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: that into the conversation.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: I don't know. It's his career, he's proud of it.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I don't have any idea how big of like how
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: big his clinic is it? You know, kind of be
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: like Jess saying, you may know me as an aestician,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: but I'm also a wife. It's like, well, yeah, yeah,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: that makes sense. It's big news, thoughe Bachelor Nation. It is.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Really they are one of our couples that have been married.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, if they've been married for four years, they
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: seemed happy. We just didn't know a lot about them
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: because they did keep their lives fairly private.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Uh it is.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: You know, Rachel did just go on Nick Vile's podcast
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: and and give an interview, and there wasn't any hints
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: coming from that there is any trouble in Paradise besides
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: what you just said. Yeah, besides like the stuff that
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: we've just kind of been surprised by in general, like, hey,
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: we're not going to show each other in social media.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: We may live separate, you know, in separate places, all
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: these things, but it's like, if it works, it works.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: We should also mention that she added him to her
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: year in review post that she posted two days ago,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: and like there are pictures and videos of him in it,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: and it says, as the caption, definitely one of the
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: hardest years of my life, but choosing to focus on
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: grateful moments and carrying that energy into twenty twenty four.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Based on that caption, even if he's in the video,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I feel like that means like she obviously knew that
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: this was going to be declared in a few days.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: I have no I mean, I see I personally, I
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: would say, I think this is maybe a surprise in
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: some ways, because I.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Really because I know people are saying that you think
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: that this is you, You think that he went to
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the courthouse without like days or weeks.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: I mean this.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: You know, these things don't happen overnight, but I do
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: think sometimes they come as a surprise, depending on how
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: heightened the level of frustration or emotion or whatever has
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: gone into this becomes.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: I just I don't know.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I'm always surprised by stuff, but I would find it
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: surprising if you would post a year in review with
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: somebody that's also you knew what you were getting separated from,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: because you'd have these conversations like this where people would
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: be like, what's going on here? Like you just posted
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: your happy you did an interview, You're happy, like things
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: are good, and all of a sudden they're not, Like
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: what happened?
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I don't know, the kids thing.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: The trying for a kid thing is what's throwing me off. Yeah,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: you're trying for a kid within like a month, and now.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: You guys, you know, I mean, I have people that
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: you know, try for kids in the midst of turmoil
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: when they think it might help bring them closer together.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: But yes, there is this is this is big news.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: There's still a lot to come out.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: I'm sure who knows how much details will we'll get.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: We just got another one.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: What's up.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: It says he's requesting that she pay his attorney fees.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: So I don't know if that's normal or not. It
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: feels like he's upset.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: I think that's that's like maybe the most generic, the
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: most simple, the probably the least to comment that we
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: can make beause he's upset. He is, you know, based
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: on the filings, this is not going to just be
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: an easy split. There will buy be a battle because
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: there's money involved and there's time involved. And we'll keep
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: everybody updated as best as we can, as best as
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: we know. But that is big news, and it is
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: sad news. We want those two people together, We wanted
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: them together. This is not something even when those comments
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: are coming through that I expected, nor did Ashley expect?
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: And Bachelor Nation is getting off to a wild star
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: and this next well headline isn't any less. While Caitlin
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Bristow reacts to romance rumors with Taysha Adams ex Zach
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Clark after New Year's Eve footage. This footage was shot
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: with Zach Clark and Caitlyn together after months of I guess,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: a month of rumors that maybe they were talking.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, so Caitlyn had a New Year's Eve party at
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: her house, her new house. It was like a housewarming
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: party slash New Year's.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: Eve extra arabaganza. It was supposed to be Roaring twenties then, and.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I am surprised that she didn't.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: It seems like.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: She didn't expect news to come out of it. But
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: even if there was, there's this video circulating online where
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: she is basically like hanging on, like she's like standing
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: above on a stool or like an ottoman, and she's
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: kind of like putting her weight on Zach Clark, who
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: she has been rumored to have maybe a thing with.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Of course this the controversial part of this is that
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Zach is Tasha's ex aunt. Tasha and her co hosted
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: the show's multiple seasons of.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: The shows together.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: So not only is he there at the party, but
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: also we give a vander Pepper Rules star Katie Maloney,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: and we also have Blake moins there, and Blake posted
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: a picture of he and Zach together. But the video
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: that came out with Caitlin and Zach during the countdown,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: the ball drop countdown, we don't know what happened once
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: it hits Happy New.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Year, okay, because it was the countdown that was shown.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: On Instagram is like five four three and then it
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: stops rolling. So okay, all this is out there, it
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: certainly looks to just the viewer's i to be that
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: there's something romantic between Kitlin and Zach, especially following, you know,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: like all these rumors and once all this dropped yesterday, Caitlin.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: Posted a lot on social media about people's reaction to.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: This.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: It's not a launch, it's not a hard launch whatsoever.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: But just this seems like a soft launch.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: It does seem like a soft lunch, and she was
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: very upset about people's reaction.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: It would you like me to read her post?
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's I mean, I think the best
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: way to cover these things is by reading exactly from
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: the source. Again, I sit here shocked and confused at
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: how a month of these rumors have been spreading, and
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: I've been like, there's no way this that's not true,
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: and then all son of a gun, the rumors are right.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna be nervous when there's rumors about me that
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: I even know are going to exist.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Yet they're gonna be like Ben's gonna win the lottery.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: That's a rumor that you guys can start. Then in
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: a month the lottery.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just that's like, that's manifesting. We'll manifest that
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: for you. So Caitlin posted this to her story, along
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: with lots of violins, like she was, you know, playing this,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: what is the expression like playing the small violin?
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like playing a tiny violin? Like yeah, you well,
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know it. Yeah, I know you're saying that like.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: A poor meat or it's like a like oh the
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: times it's like, oh, you know, it's kind of like, ah,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: you guys, stop, I don't know, you know, somebody tell
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: me better definition of that expression. But she posted tiny
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: violins and she also posted a picture of her wearing
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: a sweater that said please be feeling nice, and now
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: this is the statement. Everything else is kind of like
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: just like allusions to her reaction, like she posted a
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: text message between her and a friend, and now this
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: is sorry, blah blah blah, this is the statement. You
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: would think by now I'd be used to the hate.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I'm not Your words hurt. You're shaming hurts. Part of
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: me feels a little sad and honestly embarrassed for you, guys,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: because this shouldn't be how you spend day one of
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: a new year. You should not be this invested in
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: someone you don't even know or respect. It's actually scary,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: and I know looking inward might be even scarier for you,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: but the bullying is next level. You are allowed to
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: have opinions and feelings, but you don't even know the truth.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Your hate should actually come with consequences. I truly worry
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: about some of your mental health. It's not okay, it's
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: not Please please feel ashamed for yourselves for treating someone
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: this way who you don't know. I did not kill someone.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: I had a party with a few of my favorite people.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: Shame on you.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: We were not that party.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: I am not I am not one dementional what you
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: see on people's social media does not mean you know them.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: And this part might sting, But I would never ever
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: want to switch places with you. Your life seems so sad,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: So I will not take the opinions of someone who
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I would not trade places with.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: It feels like she's like speaking to one person there
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: like this isn't like a universal statement. This feels like
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: a very directed statement. I will say this. The evil
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: in me wants to be around next time Kaitlyn have
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: to hang out.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: Is that bad? I mean? Do I not? Is it
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: not like I want to see how they.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Somebody likes to their next meeting?
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Right, yeah, I want to see how they resolve conflict.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, there's lots to unpack here. Tasha has moved
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: on to a very happy seeing relationship that she's been in.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's fine, I think.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: When I say close to a year, yeah, then she
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: and Zach have been broken up for at least two
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: four years.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Now, but here's where I I You know, all of
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: this pretty much is Ben and I just talking about
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: what we see on the internet and like the rumors
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: and all that. But this is one thing I do
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: know for sure, and I will clearly state to everyone
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: is that the rumors of which she was cheating on
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Jason with zach are absolutely not true. And I don't
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: even know how people could come up with this fact
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: because I mean, guys, they broke up in July.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: They broke up in July. It's like six months ago.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Why would you ever infer that she was cheating on
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: him because she's moved on six months later, and I
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I just know this, Okay, I just I just know
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: that she didn't.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Okay, do you know that she's dating Zachlyn.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: I don't know anything, but I do know.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, all right, we're gonna move on from this. We're
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: getting too close to what Ashley knows.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I don't really know anything, but I do know that, like,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: she didn't cheat on Jason.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: I don't think she probably didn't know there was a
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: thing that was even being read that is a thing.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: That is one of the reasons that she's so hyped up.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: Oh goodness.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's really angry because a lot of people are
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: inferring that she could have cheated because people are thinking
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: it's kind of like this quick overlap that she had
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: between Sean and Jason.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, she is pretty good at getting the top threes
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Sean Jason.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: Zach Jason was Jason was throing.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, cream of the crop.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: You have to think that.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: She also, I would have thought that she would have
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: been prepared for this if she decided.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: To date Zach.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: I'm sure.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, you would think if they are dating,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: you would think that she would have gone in being
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: like this could get ugly for a bit and then
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be great.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: But we don't know. It's just videos, doesn't you know,
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: doesn't mean she.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Probably wants to kill the person who posted that video.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: I'm sure she knows who it is.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: It is never getting invited to a wedding again, yeah,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: I mean New Year's party.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: That person gets dropped out of her favorite friend group
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: and we get added in, Ashley, I can't wait.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: I would never take a video like that. I'd sworn
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: to secrecy. Okay.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Final headline of the day, Bachelor Paradise's Olivia and Tanner
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: sparked dating rumors, and of that well sparked dating rumors
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: and confuse fans and cozy photos.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't have any answers on this one either,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: but the pictures are out there and people really want
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: to know why they took cozy photos, why they'd post
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: cozy photos, probably.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: For this reason exactly. We're going to talk.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: About it exactly exactly.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: So to me, even though they're cozy, they certainly still
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: look friendly. And Jared and I did our fair share
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: of stuff like this, and yes, I wanted people to say,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Jared's so dumb for not dating you. Why aren't you
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: guys dating? So maybe Olivia is doing the same. Even
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: though I think they posted them as a collaborator, it
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: was a collaborative post, so they probably just boll't want
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: people to talk.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: I love it, go for it. We're like talking about it.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: This is fun.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: It's the only couple of Bachelor Paradise that's going to work.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh probably, But can we just talk one more
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: second about these friend friends slash. Are they going to
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: are they not going to doubles? I know I grilled
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Susie and justin last month at the Bachelor Mansion. We
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: have a whole episode about it. They are spending No,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: they have to date now, this is getting actually ridiculous.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Oh, they're dating.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: They went to Miami together for that art basil and
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: then they went she went to Baltimore for New Years.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: She went to his home for New Years other dating,
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: and then went to the I'll start that rumor.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: I damned her. I go, okay, this is enough already,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: it's time to date. And then she just sent me
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: like the like eye closed mikey emoji.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: She's good. She's really good at this. Yeah, who knows.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: I'll be shocked if they don't come out as dating,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: or if we don't find out later on that they
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: were dating. Actually, this are the big headlines today. We
