  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.

  Speaker 2: Welcome to the Almost Famous Podcast. We have some news
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: to discuss. I'm not gonna call it breaking news now,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: it's just news and it's updates. Maybe maybe this is
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: the best way to say it. We have some updates
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: to give you in relation to the Matt James Rachel breakup. Obviously,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: we talked about Rachel going on Call Her Daddy. A
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: lot of information was shared on that show about their breakup.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: If you want to go back and listen to that
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: if you're kind of just catching up on this story.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: The reason it's a story in general because Ashley and
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: myself we don't love talking about breakups on this show.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: The reason this is a story, though, is because of
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: how it was done. Matt James did it. Supposedly, it
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: was just like a few hours after the breakup. Rachel
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: was on a flight and so, you know, Bachelor Nation
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: kind of reacted and said, like, what's happening here? We
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: want more answers. Well, we have some answers today. Matt
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: James showed back up on social media. Ashley, what do
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: you know about it?
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so he took a two three week break ever
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: since the announcement of their breakup, which was wait, this
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: is weird. I'm looking at his Instagram right now. He
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: deleted the breakup announcement.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Whoa, that is breaking news. Now we do have news. Yeah, wait,
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: it's not there. That post isn't here right now. Wow,
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: but she is still there.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: He hasn't deleted any other videos or posts with Rachel.
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: But it's so weird the breakup post is gone.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry if this is old news to you guys,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: but I haven't seen any headlines about him deleting the
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: breakup yet.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: All I've seen is that his first video posted since
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the breakup announcement, at least is that he is doing
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: it looks like running training in Kenya.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Just has morning run with friends in Kenya, and then
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: he posted to a story. Now there's something similar about
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: his trip in Kenya. The question is, is this weird?
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: I don't think so.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's weird necessarily, because what do we
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: expect of him to come back and try to speak
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: further into what Rachel's already spoken into. And I don't
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: know if there's space if he honestly and these are assumptions,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: if he felt like something she said during that interview
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: with call Her Daddy was worth confronting, correcting, protecting, or whatever.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: He would have done it. But I'm assuming based on
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: this maneuver he's saying, no, what she said is true.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I'm regretful for how I posted about this breakup. We
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: are broken up. This She did say a lot of
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: things about our relationship, mostly it was protective of me,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: and now I'm going to move forward with a whole
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: separate chapter of life. So I don't think it's weird
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: more than it's just disregarding what most people are interested in.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Like, well, you know it's out there that he broke
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: up with her, and I think it's just yeah, well guys,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: you know the story, so we're moving on that.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: You're right, just like this is a new chapter, and it's.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Kind of I think it might be just kind of
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: nice that this symbolizes that it's not going to be
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: some back and forth breakup.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I agree. I think it's nice that that's going to
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: be the case. I think from the interview that Rachel did,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: we have perspective on how it happened. I don't know
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: if there's anything else to be said. Also, I do
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: think The key here would be if he felt like
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: there was something to confront, he would have confronted it.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: But I don't think he thinks there's anything to confront
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: at this point. I think it's just a move on
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: chapter for him, and that's that's fair. He has every
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: right to do it. I'm also still I think Rachel
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: had every right to go on that show because she
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: gave a lot of clarity to the questions that everybody
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: was asking and probably making worse assumptions about their breakup
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: without her doing that interview, like did he cheat on her? Yeah,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: did he step out? Those kind of things. She answered those.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: But Matt James's back, he's running in Kenya, he is
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: at a training facility, and that's the best we got
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: right now. That's the biggest update, and it's probably going
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: to be the only update that we now have moving forward.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming both of them are going to be transitioning
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: to whatever this next chapter.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Looks like they still follow each other on Instagram, and
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: that's not surprising to me, As she said on her
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: on the podcast, that they've been talking ever since.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: So I don't think that there's.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Like a lot of hostility between the two of them
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: just sadness.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: So we'll see where this goes.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: And I'm more thoughtful now about why he deleted the
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: post that was just so infamous, Like everybody knows what
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: the post said, what it looked like, and it can
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: be found on the internet so very easily.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: Why did you delete it from your feed?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I think Matt has probably I think having it up
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: there probably is just a reminder of a mistake he made,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I would assume, and getting it down just feels like.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: A mistake he made in posting before she knew he
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: was going to post et cetera.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Which he's owned up to. She said, Well, that's a
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: big update on the Matt James Rachel situation. I assume
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: unless new major updates come about, this is probably going
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: to be the end of the Almost Famous podcast talking
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: about this. But if there are bigger new updates that
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: present themselves, you know we will be talking about it
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: right here. So until next time, I've been Ben.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: I've been Ashley. See you guys.
