  Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Hey guys, welcome to the Almost Famous podcast. Today we
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: are breaking down headlines. Ben in my schedule, I tell you,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: has been all over the place. We have not been
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: aligning lately much the past few months, and we are
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: sorry about that. We're working on it. But today it
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: is me doing headlines with our producer Heather again and
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I hope you guys enjoyed last week's headlines. We had
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: a good time together and we plan on doing it
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: again right now. Our first headline of the week. Oh,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: it's a little juicy, Juliana. I'm sorry to Juliana aka
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Grant's X. I don't know how to say your last name, Pascarosa.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: It is a beautiful last name, Pascarosa, right, Why do
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I always try to avoid saying it? Well? She recently,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: as they say in the article, slammed her ex fiance.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: You guys, I have such a problem when the tabloids
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: or like any form of news says so and so
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: slam so and so, because usually it's not as vicious
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: as they try to make it sound. But man, it's
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: a it's a good look, good clickbait, right, there. During
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: a recent Instagram a Q and A, Grant was asked
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: multiple times with the status of he and Juliana's relationship.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Was like, well, guys, you know they are broken up,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: but these people want to know whether or not they're
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: still talking, and he said, well, it's a difficult question.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: When two people make a commitment, I feel like they're
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: supposed to do everything they can to try to make
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: it work. But you know that wasn't the case. I
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: guess we just weren't meant for each other. Now I
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: kind of understand why she slammed him. He was also
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: asked about why the couple ended their engagement, and he said,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I don't fully know, but there were some issues and
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: we just couldn't make it work. So then Juliana, she
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: has a very different answer as to why they they
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: broke up. She said this on Instagram story and response.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: We have talked after the breakup multiple times. He reached
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: out to my family and friends multiple times. They've always
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: responded that means, what do you mean? Okay? Thank you?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I'm like, what does I was like trying to break
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: down an acronym there, what do you mean? I didn't try?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I stayed even when I felt unloved. She continues to say,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: he also knows why we broke up. He just doesn't
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: want you to know why. Right and fun, very very good,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: very very good entertainment for us. Again, I'm sorry it
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: didn't work out between the two of them, but this
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: was not a surprise. And the way that Gret handles
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: himself on social media with all these oh you know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I don't really know. It's just like without like a
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: much feeling attached to it all.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Personally, I wonder how long until he deletes this off
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: of Instagram, because that tends to be the thing he does.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: He did it all, he commented on our page then
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: deleted it, so he kind of is known for that too.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: I will say, for my fellow millennials, is this not giving.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: You know what you did? You know what you did?
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Does this ring a bell? Ashley?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, no, what.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: The iconic fight between Els and Hydie.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, So here's the issue. I never watched Laguna
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Beach or The Hill the Hills, Ashley. I know this
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: is simple. Here's why I don't love teen drama like
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: that's script that's unscripted, because it just makes me feel
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: very uncomfortable because I was like never an angsty teenager,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: and I like didn't want to have fights with friends,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: and so watching that just makes me feel like I'm
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: in a place where I always try to avoid.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Got you, well, I commend you. But for anybody listening
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: that does remember the Hills, you know what you did,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: that is what.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I well, you know what, Juliana, you know that we
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: welcome you. If you ever want to talk about what
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: he did, we would love to hear all about it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Our next headline, Golden Bachelor, mel Owens talks about the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: backlash that he got about his age's comment. We're calling
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: it a gaff. Now, a gaff is a mistake in
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: something that is a mistake in speech. I think this
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: was more of his truth than it just wasn't really
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: well suited for his position. But here we go. The
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: show has been filmed and now he's talking about entrances.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: He says that he's been apologizing ever since and that
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: he will expect to see him get grilled by twenty
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: three women that are competing now for his heart, only
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: one of which is understand. He said, if you guys
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: don't remember that he had no interest in dating someone
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: over the age of sixty, but now he's got twenty
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: two of them. So he says that there is one
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: contestant whose opening comment he remembers vividly. She says, yeah,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I heard about what you said about the women. What
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: the f are you talking about? Oh, she said puck,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Because this is a hockey playing contestant. She goes, what
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the puck are you talking about? And he says that
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: he estimates that he apologized over twenty times in the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: first episode to groups and individuals. He goes, it's good
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: because I did deserve it, and I had to deal
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: with it, and I had to explain to them sincerely
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: in order to get another chance from them, and they
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: could or could not have accepted his apology, but they did.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: He also said, I wasn't thinking about who these women
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: actually were. When you see them, you don't think of age.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I had no idea how old they were, and it
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: didn't matter. He also says that he's a newbie to
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: social media and he was quickly alerted to when he
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: said this stupid thing by a female friend. She's my age,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: she said sixty five at the time, and she she
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: called me up and she said, what are you doing
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: and I said that I had made a mistake, and
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: she goes, yeah, you're going to have to reconcile this one,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: and she made me realize that I was just out
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: of bounds.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, can I just say obviously nobody agrees with
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: his comments and that's not what The Golden Bachelor is
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: here to represent. But I will say that after this
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: first episode airs next week, I'm over this topic. I
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: don't know this guy complain the entire sorry, not complain.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I don't want to hear this guy apologize for the
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: entire season. I hope we kick it in the first
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: episode and we move past this because I'm over it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I will be forever thinking it. I have to
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: admit I will be forever thinking it, but I don't
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: want to forever hear it. And I honest, I'd have
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: no problem if he said these things, if he wasn't
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the Golden Bachelor who's supposed to date sixty plus year
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: old women. If that's not your type, okay, we're fine.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: The fact that he said that in this role was
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: just like ughugh. But guys, if you want to watch
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: The Bachelor, the Golden Bachelor premiere, it is on Wednesday,
• 7:30

  Speaker 2: our former bachelorette, our last one before our new one,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: which we'll talk about in a little bit. Jen Tran
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: is soft launching a new relationship. As do you guys know.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: She was dating her partner from Dancing with the Stars,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Sasha Farber for a while. It's been it's been confirmed
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: for a couple months now that they split, but Jen
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: has updated her life on social media, and she posted
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: a picture of herself hugging a tall mystery man in
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: front of an elevator while he holds her purse for her,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: and the fans, of course commented, somebody going your story,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, happy for you girl, and another person said,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: but who is in your story? And a few followers
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: speculated that this person could be could be fellow Bachelor
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Nation star and contestant of hers, Jonathan Johnson. Somebody said,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: oh my god, is that Jonathan in the stories?
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: What do you think.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Let me click here and see this picture now, because
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I have I have a give. I don't know. I
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: will say, I don't really know. Skin tone kind of
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: on par booty, kind of on par He's got a
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: good booty. It's something I have noticed.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's him.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: The hair is hard to tell from here. Why do
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: you Why do you not think it's him?
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's him, because no shade to Jonathan.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: I think he will admit he's what does he call
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: himself a medium king?
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: He says he's a medium king. He says he's like
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: five ten. And I'm like, okay, this could be five
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: ten if she's not wearing heels, because I think she's
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: pretty tiny.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: But we saw him at the Paradise Reunion that we
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: were taping, and I just don't think. And I've met
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Jen too, and I just don't the height difference. To me,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I'm like, this is somebody taller. This is what I
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: think it's somebody taller.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I agree that, Like he's hunching down quite a bit
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: and she's like on her tiptoes in this picture.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Oh but man, well, we love that to happen. We
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: would love it so much A. All right, we'll keep following.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I'm sure she will continuously be teasing us. One person
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: also said that she might be dating Spanish tennis player
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Carlos Alcaraz. Do you know who that is? No? Oh,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: he just won the US Open.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, if that's who it is, Jen, I know, yeah,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I feel like he looks taller to
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: me based on these photos. He looks taller to me,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: and I would bet I would put my money more
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: towards this than Jonathan.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's just me. I just hope it's like, I mean,
• 10:45

  Speaker 2: the room like the very haunted room. It was a
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: fun time though, It's like you can you can feel
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: the eeriness of it. There's like crazy stories from there,

• 14:04
  Speaker 3: his video announcement was really cute.

  Speaker 2: Yes, he's he's He's a good guy. Another bachelor news,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: we have Kelly Travis from Mom Pablo season giving birth
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: to her third baby. She had her first son, Henry
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen and then daughter Josephine in twenty twenty
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: and her husband Hunterham. They got married in twenty twenty
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: six in twenty sixteen. Yeah, they've been together for a
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: long time. But Kelly was the one that you know
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: from One Pablo scene season who brought her dog and
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: that was what a special treat that was. In our
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: final headline of the day, Whitney leave It and Jen
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Affleck from the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, they are
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: hyping their girl up Franky Taylor Frankie paul Uh for
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the New Bachelorette season. I remember Frankie Taylor had said
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: on a couple of podcasts like she wasn't sure if
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: they're being like jealousy surrounding this, but the girls are
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: saying she's going to crush it. I know so many
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: people that are going to tune in. I know I am,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: and I haven't watched The Bachelor in a long time.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Lovett also said that I think someone that really recognizes
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: her resilience and the woman that she is and doesn't
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: take advantage for it is going to be the perfect
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: kind of guy for her. And then Jen Affleck, who
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: is currently on Dancing with the Stars, said she definitely
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: has a type and whoever makes her happy is who
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: we're hoping. We'll be there.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Did you see the video from the Dancing with the
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Stars premiere, because Taylor was obviously there this week, you know,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: rooting on Whitney and Jen, but we also got to
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: see her having kind of a little moment with fellow
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: bachelorette Hannah Brown. Were like hugging and chit chatting, and
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: if you remember last week when it was announced, Taylor
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: said she had watched Hannah's season that was one that
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: she had watched in the past, so it was really
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: cute little moment to see the two of them connecting.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Wow, Hulu and ABC are really you know, making a
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: full circle moment here. I can't believe that they have
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: two girls from the Mormon Wives on Dancing with the
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Stars and then they have their bachelorette as also a
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: cast member.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: That's why the question of like would it would there
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: be jealousy and all that, Like, that's why she was
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: saying that.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Because of course, because like that's a huge lead role.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Dancing with the Stars is ensemble though, but I'm sure
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: these girls are also, like I mean, they're on Dancing
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: with the Stars, that's huge. Huge. The girls who haven't
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: gotten the opportunities yet, they're gonna be like, Okay, so
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: where is my additional show? Exactly exactly. I'm sure that
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: they're ironclad contracts also probably wouldn't allow them to do
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: something like special Forces or traders or anything like that
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: right now, exactly exactly. Alrighty, well, guys, thank you so
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: much for tuning in to headlines. We will have more
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: next week and I I'm going to be with the
