• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with i R Radio special report Almost Famous. Back, Ashley,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: why are we here? The Season seven Bachelor in Paradise
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: cast was released in short. Uh, and it's going to
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: premiere on August and uh, should we run to the list? Yeah?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: But real quick, wouldn't you say you're you're an expert here?
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: So when you're covering this story and you're saying, in short,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: what do you meaning by this? Okay? That means that
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: we have the photos in the cast of who's going
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: to be their day one? Because this isn't all the cast.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: There's a lot more girls than there are guys, and
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I know of rumors of people who are not shown.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Let's give an example, like Piper. We know that brand
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: end in brendan Um. He was what was a third
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: place on Tatious season He is on this original cast list,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: but Piper is not. And if you guys remember, they
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: were spotted together numerous times like dating, like dating dating
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: back in May so right before Paradise shot and they
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: but but Piper is not on this list. So my
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: assumption is that these two they did the old classic,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: started dating and thought that they could get together on
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Paradise as like, oh we're just meeting. Um yeah, yeah,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: well we flirted before, we we talked a little bit.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: But but but but maybe we'll solidify things here in Paradise.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I think that's going to create some drama. So do
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: we believe Piper shows up to Paradise. Oh yeah, Piper
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: is going to be that girl that comes like she's
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: probably I would say that she was going to walk
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: down like during the first week. But actually I think
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: they want to build the drama. People are probably going
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to be asking Brendan out and he's going to have
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to give another girl Rose before Piper comes, and that's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: going to just be juicy juicy. Okay, Ashley, it's time
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: to run down the list of the most recent So
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: almost been two years since we've seen Paradise. That's wild.

  Speaker 1: Peter season. Okay, So that's the list that we have
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: right now, Ashley, to continue this conversation, is there anybody
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: in the original list that you are disappointed to not
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: see Brie? I would agree, one of my favorites of
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: all time and she's not on the list. I would
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: also say, we don't see Dr Joe on here. Um, yeah,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: he could come, he could come. We don't know this,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: but from the original cast he's not there. I want
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to see as much of him as possible. Uh. In
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: addition to that, uh, I'm I mean this is this
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: feels like a good original cast. Now, we always know
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that the the sleepers that come in week one, week
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: two are the ones that kind of shake things up,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and they're always kind of the the ones that are
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: more shocking, maybe more memorable and known. But this is
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a good a good first cast. Uh. A little bit
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: of tidbit of information. Victoria Larson has blonde hair in
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: this picture. She changed your hair's going blonde. If you
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: look at her Instagram, which I can't because I block,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Let's see if she's got some she's got a new
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: look going on. I'll have to look to see if
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I if I still have access. Uh, Ashley, is there
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: anybody here that you're shocked to see on the original cast? No?
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? I'm shocked to see Joe
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: grocery store Joe in the original cast? Did you really
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: not know who's gonna be there? I knew he was
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: going to be in Paradise at some point. I didn't
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: know he would be there week one. I feel like, uh,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: he was somebody that would come down later. I thought
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: there would be a whole kindled Joe kind of showing
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: up same time. See what I just I'm shocked to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: see him there from there. Definitely. If they're going to
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: play that storyline, they're not going to come at the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: same time. It's gonna be very much like Jared and Me,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: where somebody is settled and something finding somebody before the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: other person comes down. Very interesting. Well, I'm looking forward
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to Paradise, Ashley, as Paradise is coming upon us August
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: six on ABC. What are you most looking forward to?
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: What have you missed in the last two years? Um,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Like the sense of humor, the self of the sense
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: of self awareness, just lightheartedness. I think that's where The Bachelor,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I mean The Bachelor Paradise ex cels, and I think
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: it's always just like fun to have so many different
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: love love storylines. Well, speaking of low storylines, who here
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: do you see in the original cast potentially being a
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: good couple? This is hard. I want to just brush
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: on the fact that there's a couple of huge Bachelor
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: stars that aren't here that like, maybe I'm not surprised
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: now aren't there because like I've spoken to them about
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: their reasoning, But like Hannah Anne, Victoria Fuller, I don't
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: think Madison would ever do it. But like still, you know,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: there's not a lot of big guy names like Ivan
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and Joe are the biggest guy names. Brendan Brendan Okay, yeah, yeah,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: so there's three yeah, um, but the girls don't have
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: a lot to choose from that first week actually the guys. Okay,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: so the guys are going to choose the first week
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: because they are way more girls than guys. Yeah. So
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: out of this group, then what do you see? Mm hmm.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Maybe Brendan and Abigail. It's called Brendon and Abigail. They're
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: both like shy and sweet. I like that couple. What
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: about you? I'm all for it. Uh. You know, I've
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: been a fan of Ivan's since he was on the show,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and I would love to see Ivan with somebody like
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: a Natasha Parker or even like a MARII, Um, somebody
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Ivan I can see with? Yeah, Natasha, I was thinking,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you know somebody who. Ivan's a sweet guy, he's very open.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I think they're both fairly vocal. You would you know,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: it would be great to see him with Abigail. But
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I do think the Abigail like Brennan think kind of
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. They're kind of together in
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: this picture. Anyways, they just look cute. Um and then Joe,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: it would be here's here's something I'd be really interesting
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: for me. This is the storyline I'll watch. I don't
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: think it probably ever plays out. But Joe and Natasha,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: so they do a podcast together. Stop. That's the most
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: unrealistic thing, you think. Yeah, they've known each other for
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: like a year. But what if, like secretly, behind the scenes,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Joe's like this, Natasha is awesome, we co host together.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: She's incredible, we're both single, we're both in the beach.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: If we're going to give it a shot, why not? Now,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: who knows, I don't know, anything could happen. You don't
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: like that story, huh No, I don't like it. It's
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: something I don't like it. It's just like, I feel
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: like we can pair Joe up with somebody else. Maybe
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: maybe Serena. Maybe. Um yeah, I'd say from this list,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Serena make the most sense for him. Okay, Well, if
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: you're gonna because you know a lot about Paradise, it's
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: kind of your bread and her. But if there's some
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: people that you're like, hey, I hope to see walk
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: down the stairs week one or two to really shake
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: things up, who were those cast members? Okay? Um, we
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: need Kendall, Like, that's an amazing storyline for me, but
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: also like potentially heartbreaking. Um, then I want to see
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I definitely want to see Dr Joe and then I
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: really I don't know if he's gonna like stir things up,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: but you know, and then i'd want to see Brie. Yeah,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I agree, Brie Dr Joe Kindle from Katie season. Oh yeah,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: so there could be people in the in the original
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: cast from Katie season that's not up there. Yeah, I
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: mean Carl is up here now, so we have only
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: eliminated people. But I think her top four is gonna
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: be really strong. I'm hoping a couple of them choose
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to go to Paradise because I don't you know, I
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: think we're gonna be like on the edge of our seats.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking the Michaels of the world and also the Gregs. Yeah,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: like I want Greg to be in the original cast.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: If any of those dudes aren't the Next Bachelor, or
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: if they're not with Katie, it would be it would
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: be incredible to see them walk down the stairs. Uh.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine somebody better for Paradise than Andrew?
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Like fun, loving, honest, Yeah, he'd be really good, like
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: huge smile on his face all the time. Paradise is
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: feels like it would be his jam, Like it would
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: be awesome for him. Yeah, I see him there. Um,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I mean Greg would be huge. But I also feel
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: like Katie's top four in our heads are all going
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to like hold out for the chance of being bachelor.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: But I guess Colton kind of proved that like a
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: way of going about things wrong, because you can still
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: go to Paradise and become the Bachelor. Actually, it may
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: increase your rods. It might increase I mean Nick Vile
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: came from Paradise to be the Bachelor. Colton did the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: same thing. It feels like a trend at some level.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: And hey, it doesn't hurt you at least at this point,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't completely separate you from the opportunity of it. Uh. Well, Ashley,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: we're gonna really start Paradise. It's a great cast. We
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: want to announce it to all of you listeners because
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: because we know that you trust us for your Bachelor
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: news and this is big news and we have more
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: big news to get to. We're gonna take a break
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: when we come back. We're break down Bachelor headlines that
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: have happened in the last like three and a half days.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Bachelor headline says this wells Adams quote, I was shocked
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: by the twists and turns of season seven of Bachelor
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: in Paradise. This according to us. Lots of quotes here,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: and this is his fifth season doing Paradise. He's been
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: on so many episodes of the show, but this may
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: be one of his favorites thus far. He says, you
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: get everything. It's hot, it's sweaty, there are crabs everywhere,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the beach kind um, he's hopefully just the beach kind.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: And then he said, there's a lot, there's romance, there's
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of drama. You got everything. The drinks are bad,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the advice is worse, but the bar is open. And
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: there's some twists and turns that I was shocked by
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: and I never thought would happen on the show. And
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I think people are really really gonna love this season.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: He says that it starts out with drama and comedy,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: but then there's a lot of really wonderful love. He said,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the earth isn't healing until Paradise is back, and I
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: can't that that's perfectly said, He said, I feel like
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: we needed this for so long. I'm just excited for
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: everyone to experience it. You know, America, America gets to
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: kind of show up at the gates of Paradise and
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: walk down those steps with us, which is very nice.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: And then he says, people are really going to enjoy
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: this season. If you were single during COVID so else
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: he goes, and you didn't get laid for a year basically, Um, well,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of sexual tension built up in these
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: cast members, So I think it'll trends like quite nicely
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: on television. I think I think America feels the same
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: way too. If you're trying to make up for lost time.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Everyone feels like they got robbed of a year. So
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I think people are a little more prone to be
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: bald and they probably would normally be on the beach,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: which is nice. Said from the new host of the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Rose Ceremonies, Wells Adams, it sounds like he's a host now.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: He's really promoting this like he's he's out there. Um,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: he's out there now. Well, next headline and final headline
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: of the last three and a half days, it's a
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: big one. The bachelorette Claire Crawley and Dale Moss Here
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: are engaged again six months after breakup. This according to
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: E Yes. Well, it's a close source to Claire and
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: they told E News about it, said that they're engaged again. Um,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: but a second proposal didn't happen. Claire has been wearing
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: her ring for months and put it back on one
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Stale stepped up and they decided to give their relationship
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: another shot. But it's more of a promise in a
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: commitment from Dale. There's no wedding planning at this time.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: They had a conversation over a month ago about their
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: future and decided that they wanted to be engaged again.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: They aren't rushing anything and they aren't even living together
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: permanently yet. I mean, let's celebrate that that's been a Yeah,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: I think Rocky Road. It's really awesome. It hasn't always
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: gone smoothly, and that's to be expected, not shocking, because
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: this whole thing is wild and weird. But the fact
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: that they took some time away and they said, hey,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: we still want to give this a shot is something
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: we should celebrate here, and we are celebrating here. It's
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: pretty awesome. Well, that's the headlines in the last three
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: and a half days, along with the list of cast
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: members for the very first episode of Bachelor in Paradise.
