  Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: It's time for the almost Famous podcast. We are here
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: breaking down this week's headlines. Obviously, Ashley, the big headline
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: that you've made the headlines from that it's kind of
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: taken bacchination by storm. Is the golden divorce, the golden breakup,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: whatever it's being referenced as these days. We do have
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: an episode out where you led a bunch of people
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: from the franchise, ask them great questions and kind of
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: dug into everybody's thoughts surrounding this divorce. How are you
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: feeling a few days removed?
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Well, I was kind of afraid to share like a
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: lot of my feelings, but it seems like so many
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: people agree with me.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: When was the last time that your strong opinions.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: Made the headlines?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: No, but like people agreed with you on them. I
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: mean like, I'm always nervous to take like a hard
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: stance because I feel like there's always so much nuance,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: and but this one really felt like you captured what
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: everybody was feeling.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, I guess with the last time
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I felt like people were like, oh yeah, I feel
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: like for the majority people probably agree with us, because
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: we don't like see a ton of feedback that's like, no,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: you're so hung right, But this time I felt like
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: I felt like there was such a loved couple and
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: people just rooted for that whole season, not necessarily them
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: as a couple during the season, but like just like
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: everybody loved watching that season that I was afraid to
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: say anything sort of negative that I felt like something.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Was off, and apparently so did a lot of people.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Well, I actually I thought about a lot the last
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: few days. I think you're right. I think that a
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: strong opinion and kind of the anger comes from the
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: people being so invested in them. Here's just for a
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: second here kind of the headline that isn't being talked
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: to that. I want to talk to you about how
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: far back does this push the Golden Show in your opinion?
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: You know what, so much? And I would have thought otherwise.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I would have thought, you know, if if you would
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: have told me a week ago too, you know, ten
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: days ago, if they get divorced, is that going to
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: affect the Golden Bachelorette sort of, I would have said no, no,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: but I sort of feel like yes, because a lot
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: of people are like, oh, we took it so much
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: more seriously because these people like know themselves so well,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: they've been in marriages before, they know exactly how serious
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: to take it. And now we see that it's the
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: shortest marriage of all Bachelor history, if not like the
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: shortest relationship. Well okay, maybe not the shortest relationship, but.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's came from the show like that.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: They like that they came off the show together, like
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: they didn't break up at a NFAFR.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I mean we were at their wedding three months ago. Yeah.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: So I actually feel like whenever people when I see
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: the lineup, the ABC lineup, and it's like Bachelorettes coming,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: then Golden Bachelorette. Oh okay, I know, okay, I guess
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: that's the show back really far what they need to do,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: and this is a message that I've gotten from a
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: lot of people in my Instagram in box. They need
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: to do what Love is Blind does and what Married
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: at First Site does and just have people from the
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: community from the city that the person lives in. So like,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: let's just say Leslie's the Golden Bachelor. It needs to
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: happen in Minneapolis, and it has to be just Minneapolis guys.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: That makes sense to me. I don't know why they wouldn't.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, at this point we've kind of said it before,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: but why would it matter if there's twelve guys on
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the show starting out or twenty five, Like, it doesn't matter.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe less guys get eliminated each week. I mean, at
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, I don't think you need
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: to find thirty dudes from Minneapolis or thirty dudes from
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: wherever the Golden batchel that's going to be. I think
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: you need to find twenty fifteen to twenty.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And what you could do is kind of like
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: have her we part I've said this before, but be
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: part of the audition process where she's like I'm watching
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: this through in a green room or right in front
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: of them, and that way she's like, I'm interested in
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: this guy, like after hearing what he has to say,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: that would be such a cool spin right to be
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: like I want him cast it, and then you can
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: take fifteen of your favorites. Then you kind of eliminate
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: those first couple weeks that we always feel like is eh,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I want.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: To know who's running the pr on this though, or
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: if the show even seems to care because we really
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: haven't heard much from the show in general on this.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Why are they not announcing the Golden Bachelorette like to
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: yesterday because it changes the headlines, that changes the story,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: And now we're talking about the next Golden Bachelor, and
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: we're not talking much as much about you know, Gary
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: and Teresa's relationship.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I think right now they're like, we have to hold
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: it because there's going to be some negative connotation around it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I just think the long to go with that last
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: the words.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Honestly, I think they'll probably do it during Bachelorette season,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: like premiere episode.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, we do have some headlines to jump into today.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: That's obviously the biggest one right now coming through Bachelor Nation.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: But we do have some really exciting things to talk about.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Welcome's first child with boyfriend Nate. This is really exciting.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: This is according to Bachelor Nation.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Shane had her baby on April eleventh, and the baby
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: girl's name is Mavin Jane and as always, she's got
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Bachelor Nation giving her all the support on Instagram, Genevieve
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: and Danielle Malty being saying congratulations baby, We're so happy
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: for all of you. And this she shared her daughter
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: with her her boyfriend of definitely over. I want to
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: stay close to two years now at a former NFL
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: player Nate Ebner.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Another big headline, the Bachelor Nation star that was on
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the Mass Singer was revealed and the comment that he
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: has is well, that was fun.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Why haven't I seen more of this? It was Colton.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: He was revealed as the love bird on the Mass Singer.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: He sang for six weeks and was finally revealed this week.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: I don't follow the Mass Singer. I think everything. I
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: think it's a fun show. Whenever I see clips, I'm like,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: that's a show I could get into. And I'm gonna
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: have to go back and watch his performances. Because who
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: knew that Colton had a voice?
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: They never You don't have to have a fantastic voice
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: to be on the Mass Singer, but you have to
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: carry some sort of a tune.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I agree people. The only reason I knew about this
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: is because I got comments like, hey, you're on the
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Mass Singer. I don't know what the clues were. It's like,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not on the Mass Singer. Who wit? And I
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: ended up finding out who's Culton? So I'm glad that
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: people think I have a singing voice. That's very sweet
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: of them because it sounds like Chulton definitely does Ashley.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: A surprise announcement came this week in Bachelor Nation. Well breakups. Honestly,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: we're kind of revealed breakups that maybe we've invested into
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: a little bit. The first one is Andrew Spencer reveals
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: he and Beca Mitchie broke up.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Yes, so we don't know much about the breakup, but
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: we do know that he is surrounded by the love
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: of his new puppy, hash Brown, and he He's also
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: had some emo TikTok videos and Instagram posts. He also
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: expressed his gratitude towards Bachelor love and friend Anna Redmond
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: for her company in assisting you know him with this
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: heartbreak with a heartfelt photo shoot featuring him and his
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: new pets. So you know, Ann a good company, also
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: a good photographer.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Fantastic. Another breakup isn't necessarily hitting the headlines yet. Well,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: at some point, Greg Grippo and Victoria Fuller have seemed
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: to have broken up. I don't know if it's officially
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: been announced yet, but Aston, what do you know about that?
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I don't that they're ever going to officially announce somehow.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Even though they are pretty high profile couple as far
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: as like each of their individual popularity in Bachelor Nation,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: they have flown under the radar a bit as far
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: as their relationship goes. They haven't really overshared much since
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: the beginning. I think there was so much controversy about
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: them in the beginning because as you know, Victoria quickly
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: went on you know, she quickly went to date Greg
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: after her Bachelor in Paradise engagement. I think that they
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: are just never going to say anything. Let Bachlination assume
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: what they will. The two of them did unfollow each
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: other on Instagram, that is what we know. And Victoria
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: also posted a picture of her in a very feminine
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: white dress the other day, saying she's in her soft
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: girl era, which you know, in some way I feel like,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: is her being like I'm open to.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Romance.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, I don't even know what that means. Soft
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: girl hera goodness, a charity loss, and has a hidden talent.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Her fiance obviously announces this. It's her best kept secret.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: This according to Bacheloration as well.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: He posted a video of her singing on Instagram. And
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: then got in a dated with so many messages being like, Wow,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: we had no idea that charity was so vocally gifted.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: So if the masked singer needs another Bachelor star underneath
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: one of those costumes, Charity could be it.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Hey, I like that idea. Tyler Cameron's premiere episode is
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: out correct.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: It is out now, yes, and so is our podcast
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: episode with him. It's a really great in depth episode.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: He talks about dating these days and just settling down
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: in Jupiter, Florida and being able to make his fun
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: trips to La in New York. But he's not overwhelmed
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: and intoxicated by the dazzle of it all there anymore.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: It's a really nice interview.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: It's great. You did a great job on that. And
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: then final headliner of the day is about you. You
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: revealed in a Bachelor Nation article if you and Jared
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: would ever move from Rhode Island. The quote is, it's
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: the great debate.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: That is what it is. Uh, It's it's just something
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: that we talk about a lot.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Jared doesn't we both feel like life in Rhode Island
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: isn't exactly what he expected it.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: To be when we moved here three years ago.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Now, and I obviously go home to Virginia a lot
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: once we make I make sure that it's once a month,
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: so that is a lot of travel. We will see
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: where things end up. We're not in a rush to
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: make any sort of decision, and it's just it's just
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: really it has to do with family, community and all that.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: It's the great debate continue even from the source.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Everybody has it. Everybody has that when they have young kids.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: I feel like, is where are we gonna like settle
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: for real?
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: For reale makes sense.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: You don't have to do it when they're this little.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Will just do as a favor. And when you decide,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: will you tell the almost famous podcast first?
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Yes, I hope we're still in the air when that
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: decisions mad And I'm referring to the fact that it
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: could take years.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I hope so too. That's all the headlines we have
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: here today. Again, the Golden Breakup is the big headline,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: kind of covering bacheloration right now. Obviously Tyler Cameron Show's
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: coming out, Ashley's deciding if she's moving or not. Then
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: we have some babies to celebrate, but also some breakups
