  Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: It's another episode of the Almost Famous podcast in another.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Episode that Ashley is with us. And it makes me
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: so happy, but it's bittersweet. You think this is your
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: last episode.
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: I think we could maybe do Monday morning, but and
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: that I'm going to call that my last probably episode.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: But you know what's a really anxiety written is that
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Jared isn't here right now in Virginia. He was here
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: for a week, yeah, and he is not supposed to
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: come back until Monday morning. And I'm like, I don't
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: know why I wasn't so nervous the first time. The
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: first time when he was going back and forth, I
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: just wasn't that nervous. I think it's because I think
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: this labor is going to go so fast that if say,
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: like something happens in the middle, then I don't think
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: he'd made it.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: You know what, here's how I think in life, as
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: we get older, we have to look at a lot
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: of these things. It might not be ideal, but it
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: will be a story. And I know it's really would
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: bum him out not to be there for at least
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: it's the second kid, right, Yeah, it's the second kid,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: what are you gonna do?
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: I'm kidding, I know what you're talking about. It would
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: be kind of funny because Jared staying on Sunday, well
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: because he has a wedding after party which goes till
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: one am, but also because he has softball, so like,
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: you know, that'll be that'll be the joke.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Wow, I love it. I actually really respect this because
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: that's hilarious.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Well, you'll probably get someone to cover for him at
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: work that night if he didn't have softball.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I really I kind of respect him for this.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: It's like if you were at the Master's or something.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, if I I had my like member guest
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: golf tournament at my local club and I was like, sorry, honey,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I can be within a thousand
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: miles of you.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Than a thousand miles. I think it's like four fifty.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's close enough. But we do have headlines.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: There are some big headlines out there, especially kind of
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: wrapping around now Jin's season of the Bachelorette. It just
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: started this week. We do have our breakdown episode out
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: there now for you to listen to. And also Ashley
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: did a one on one with Jin. It's a great
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: conversation that you can go listen to as well.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: One of the things that Jen's been talking about recently
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: is this, She's been discussing the pressure of being the
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: first Asian bachelorette and if she has any regrets so far.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Okay, So she told me that she has no regrets,
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: and like I told you guys in the last episode,
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: She's like, yeah, no regrets, Like I'm content, right, But
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: she didn't seem overally giddy when she said that she
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: had no regrets. Okay, So you know, Ben and my theory,
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: you can go listen to it more from you know,
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: the previous episode this week, but our theory is that
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: she doesn't end up with anyone. But then, as far
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: as the pressure of being the first Asian bachelorette, we
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: talked about this on Mike Q and A with her
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: and she says something along the same lines that she
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: told Bachelor Nation dot Com this week. She said, of
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: course I feel the pressure. A lot of it comes
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: from me wanting to be a good role model and
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: doing it right.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: It has so far been a season where I think
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: you and I both would say we're very impressed.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: In after episode one, right.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm, Yeah, she did a great episode one, but.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: We're both convinced that, yes, this season is not going
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: to end like the others. Speaking of Bachelor contestants, Chelsea
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Vaughn shares dating update and reveals how many xes she's blocked.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Well, the last time we heard from Chelsea's love life,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: she had just broken up with Austin Tinsley, who was
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: actually on Katy Thurston season of the Bachelorette, and they
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: met on Bachelor in Paradise cam and they were just
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: they had just moved in together in New York or
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: it was moving week something like that, and then they
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: broke up very abruptly. But she says that right now
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: she's kind of over dating apps. She's trying to get
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: her flirt on in real life, trying not to have
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: an accidental mean mug out there walking around New York's,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: trying to bring in the positive flirty energy. She also
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: says that when you know, when it comes to breaking
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: up with somebody, are these guys blocked? Only one guy
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: and she said she'd barely ever consider him an ex
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: because we weren't technically boyfriend and girlfriend. However, dated exclusively
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: for a few months. Do you think that? I like,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: if you weren't technically boyfriend and girlfriend but you were exclusive,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: isn't a boyfriend and girlfriend? Like, how other way do
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: you define that?
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I think it's I think what she's prior referred to
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: is more of an emotional connection. Like when she looks bad,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: does she look at it as a relationship or does
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: she look at it is like, yeah, that was just
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: like a weird fleeing thing.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, good job, Ben, you didn't you buy it? That's
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: I feel that.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I get that, I understand it.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: A couple headlines coming out obviously around one of the
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: biggest things that happened Bachelor Nations this week, and that's
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: the Hannah and wedding she marries Jake Funk in Italy.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: It was just the two of them. That's kind of surprising, honestly,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: she said. Her quote is we decided to just be us.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: There's another headline out here too, actually that we can
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: kind of tie together all into one. Hannah Ann also
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: is making headlines this week for her European honeymoon. So
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: they had a European honeymoon and a wedding in Italy.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Ashley tell us all about it.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: I was also shocked seeing the pictures of the wedding.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: I know she'd had her bridle shower, bachelorette party and stuff,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: but for some reason, I was just like, there was
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: no posting from what I saw of them, like leading
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: up to the wedding day, and all of a sudden,
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: we see the pictures of her in her wedding dress,
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: and then we didn't see them with any guests, and
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: I was like, huh, I wonder if it was kind
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: of like an elopement, and it ended up being. So
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: she and Jake did it together, just the two of
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: them in Italy. They are going to have a big
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: party with friends and family in Florida this coming month.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: He is now he's on one of the Florida NFL teams,
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: so he's back at practice this week and they just
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: said that for his football schedule, it was best for
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: them to do the wedding and the honeymoon back to
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: back like that really quick, and then do something in
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: the States for the big celebration. So they went to
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Tuscany for the honeymoon as well as Switzerland. And Jake's
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: last name was Funk, and there's this like chocolate Funk
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: place that he's been wanting to go to Relation in
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Switzerland and they just did that towards the end of
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: their chip and you can see on her Instagram the
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: chocolate does look quite impressive. But yeah, just a quiet
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: wedding the two of them was very beautiful, all the
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: videography and photography, but super small.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I think it's sound.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, I get it right. Like you and I
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: have talked about this, there's a beauty to a big wedding.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Some people want it. There's also a really romantic and
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: a very special I think I would imagine moment around
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: it just being the two of you. So congratulations to
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: the two of them, and you know, good luck to
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Jake Is in his upcoming season.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Oh and I should mention that the vows happened in
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: a twelfth century castle in Tuscany.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah you could do worse. Yeah, you could do worse.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: A bunch of Bachelor girls got together for a Bachelor
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Girls trip. We got Jess, we got Kylie, we got Katie,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Mercedes and a few others. This was kind of shown
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: all across social media, mostly, if not everyone was from
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Zach Shell Cross season. These girls are still hanging out,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: still getting together a little bit surprising because we usually
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: see that, you know, kind of initial hangout, everybody's best
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: of friends, and then they kind of go their own
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: separate directions.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: But these girls are staying close.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they said it's their annual get together, and there's
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: no awkwardness when it comes to Katie and Zach being
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: together and all these girls having also dated Zach on TV,
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: but including Gabby who was his runner up, and there
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: was so much emotion there. They all flew to Austin
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: just to visit Katie, and it seems like they're going
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: to try to make a year thing about it. Jess
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: said in a caption that it was their annual reunion
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: and friendships are the best kind of love.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: The absolute best kind.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Well, speaking of love, we do have a little baby
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: section coming up. Christina Mandrel and Brayden Bowers, along with
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Bennett Jordan and Romeo, both appearing on The Patcherrette. Romeo
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: was season eighteen and Bennett was season sixteen. It looks
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: like they both welcome little girls to the world this week.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: Now, we were expecting Bennett's daughter to arrive. He's been
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: documenting it with his wife for a while now, the
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: pregnancy and he's been doing some really funny TikTok reels.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Their baby arrived at forty one weeks on June twenty fifth.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Her name is Harper Lily Jordan. His wife held on
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: and the baby for forty one weeks. He said that
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: she's the most magical, on inspiring, precious and perfect little
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: bundle of joy, very very cute. And then this was
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: way more of a surprise for me seeing that Romeo Alexander,
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: who you remember having like some complications with romance in
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Bachelor in Paradise, not this past season, but the season before.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: And yeah, so he actually got married in March. They
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: hard launched in September, They got engaged in December, and
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: then they had this little baby just a couple days ago.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Her name is Josephine Simone Marie Alexander. Oh and yes
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: this the babies were born one day apart on She
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: was born on June twenty sixth.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: That's really exciting.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Well, speaking of babies, Emily Ferguson Carlson brainstorms baby names
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: for baby boy number two. Her quote and social media
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: is so helpful.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so she reached out to you know, everybody on
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: Instagram for baby boy name ideas. So they're really struggling
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: with the baby boy number two names, as Jared and
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: I have been very much. This is my word of
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: advice to everybody out there who plans on having two
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: or more children. Do not name your child your first
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: child's middle name your second favorite name. It should be
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: your third or fourth favorite name. Because Jared and I
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: really are are feeling the middle Dawson's middle name as
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: possibly being an option for our second son's first name.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: And I think that not that Emily is having those contemplations,
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: but just having a hard time with the name. And
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: then this really fun Instagram baby naming consultant named Naming
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: bb B E b E came up with some baby
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: ideas for Beckham's little brother. Some of the recommendations include Brooks, Brigg, Bowen, Body,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: and Beale if they want to have another B name
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: alongside alongside Beckham and if Emily doesn't want another B name,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: this consultant is recommending Camden, Hayes, Caylin, Grady, Lennox, Dyer, Stockton, Axel,
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: and Steele as all names that would work for Emily
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: and her husband William Carlson, as they are kind of
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: sporty meat style.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: I had no clue there is baby named consultants out there.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: She did one for Jared and I and she of
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: course made it like pop culture theme. She's so like,
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: since Dawson is named after Jack Dawson, we could do
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: this plus this, plus this, And she suggested a name
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: in that Instagram reel that my sister thinks that she
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: might use for her future child that we never thought
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: of before. So consultants might be awesome for this.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: It's very impressive. Well.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Hey, Also in the headlines this week, Katie Thurston made
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: the headlines. She has been very open and very vulnerable
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: about an event in her life that she hasn't really
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: shared I don't believe publicly before this headline is this
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Katie Thurston opens up about sexual assault and receives support
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: from Bachelor Nation. The quote she uses is my pain
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: has purpose.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so we don't have a lot of details about
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: when this happened, but we know it happened when she
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: was living in San Diego, which was actually after her
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: whole stint on The Bachelor and Bachelorette. So she yeah,
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: I saw this on social and I had no idea
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: that this happened to her, especially so recently. But let
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: me tell you what she said on social I called
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: nine one one to report my rape. They sent an
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: officer to take my statement and then drove me to
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: a special medical center to perform an exam. I had
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: two women with me. One was a nurse, the other
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: one was my advocate. They were kind and nurturing and patient.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: I felt like a small lost child who was vulnerable
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: and scared. They thoroughly examined the process, asking for consent
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: along the way, allowing me to decide or change my
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: mind at any time. She said that she was given
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: a blood draw to check for STDs, drugs, and other
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: blood alcohol concentration. Katie was also given Plan B, a
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: shot for bacterial infection drugs to treat possible TDS in
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: a medication to treat possible HIV exposure. Katie said that
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: this was all provided to her at no cost, regardless
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: of her insurance situation, and when Katie lived in San Diego,
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: she was offered an online tracker for her exam, so
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: it took four months to complete this whole cycle, and
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: during the waiting period, Katie worked with a therapist who
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: specializes in treating victims of sexual assault and engage in
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: other community resources. She also shared a book on social
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: that she found to be helpful at this time. She goes,
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: I did everything that I should have done as a
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: victim of rape. I shared all my text, calls, videos, photos, names, witnesses, location, timestams,
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: surveillance footage, DNA everything, and I was still warned that
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: a guilty verdict is hard in criminal court. While she
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: doesn't make clear whether or not this court there has
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: been a moment in court, she does feel stuck, like
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: stopped in this fight, she goes, It's not a loss.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: This is not a loss to me. I am safe,
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: I love them supported. Yet another loss in a broken system.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Change happens in failure in the justice system failed me
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: and continues to fail thousands every single day. But do
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: not give up. So yeah, this is awful, awful news.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: So sad. I feel so bad she's gone through this.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Her comments underneath are filled with support from Bachelor Nation
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Susie Evans, Calm Bristo o Taisha Adams. But yes, thank
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: you Katie for sharing the story despite it being probably
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: the worst experience of your life.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Katie is also speaking this week about how she found
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: her forever kind of love with boyfriend Jeff R.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Curry.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: That's right. They have been together since January when she
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: teased the relationship, and then she soon after went on
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: a podcast where she said she said it's not quite
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: love yet, but she was very much enjoying the time together.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: And now she goes in you know, June July, we
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: are past and we're maybe not past the honeymoon phase,
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: but we are in our full blown weirdo phase and
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: they're just completely comfortable with each other. And like she says,
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: this is her hopeful forever love. She's found him.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: It's a big deal.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: A couple other here, big really big headlines that we
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: kind of want to finish with The Bachelor. Sarah Harrin
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: gives birth to twins.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a huge one, massive yes. So congratulations
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: to Sarah. We are so so happy for her. She
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: and her husband lost their baby, Oliver at twenty four weeks,
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: I want to say a little over a year ago,
• 18:07

  Speaker 4: going through IVF treatments, fertility treatments for three to four
• 18:14

  Speaker 4: So I ask you as if you know these things.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: It's like three thousand is three miles in the sky.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: Its pretty normal around there.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Well, it's not quite three miles in the sky, okay,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: more like two one.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, two point one.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: But it is very high. I mean that's you know,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: very high.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: But it's also not uncommon a lot of there's a
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: lot of really cool spots. They got married in Dylan
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: a Rapa Hoe Basins, mid Mountain Lodge and Dylan, Colorado.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: I've been to a base and we call it out
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: there in Colorado very many times. It is absolutely beautiful
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: and it is a crazy cool place to ski. And
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: in fact, this time of year there's still snow on
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: the mountain typically where they're just finishing ski season. It's
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: a really incredible place.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: And everything was super relaxed. They wanted to be super fun, casual.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: It was a weekend full of people that they love,
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: just kind of chilling. They did not want to stiff
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: formal wedding. So that's not them. The two of them,
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: like I said, have been together for four years, engaged
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: for two, and that's what we got. Happy Toppy wedding week.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: Congratulations guys.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: So shocking headline that might shock others that it's not
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: so shocking to those involved. Final headline of the day
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: is this bachelorette Ginran and Kelly Rippa's discussion about dating
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: on TV gets awkward.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Fat Ben Save the Juicy is headlined for Lost because well,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Ben has met Kelly Rippa has done the you know
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: live the show before. I love watching Kelly and Mark.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: I love Mark and Silo's huge I mean not huge crush,
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: but I think he's very smoon worthy. Always loved seeing
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: their marital dynamic on the show. As soon as he's
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: started co hosting with her, I've watched the show much
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: much more, and it disappoints me when I see that
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: Kelly Rippa has such an acts to grind with a
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: bachelor franchise. Every time we have a lead go on
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: the show to promote it, she always seems to be
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: so skeptical of maybe not a little bit of the
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: lead in their decision to be the lead, and also
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: just the process. She just seems to like really shame
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: the show. There's so many reality shows out there that
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: are so much more trashy, and she loves to pick
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: at the Bachelor and Bachelorette. Ben, like, I know that
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: you have a little bit of an experience. I don't
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: know if you want to share, but when you were
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: on the show, Kelly also questioned you very similarly than
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: she did with Jen, which I'll tell you guys what
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: she did with Jen in a minute.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she definitely doesn't like the show.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they like denied her her Bachelorette role.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: She just doesn't like the show, and so it always
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: makes if you look back on past seasons, it just
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: makes for an awkward interview, I think is the best
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: way to say it, because like you're sitting there as
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: this you know, fan of her and the show.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: You're excited to be there.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: You've gotten this wild opportunity to be on reality television
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: and be a lead on it, and you feel like, hey,
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: life is really fun and exciting right now. And there's
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: so many people that I can name that are just
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: like super accepting of it. They understand that it's weird,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: they understand that it's not common, they understand that it's
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: a very odd thing to have happen, but they're still
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: very nice to you. And it's just if you look
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: back on past interviews with past leads on The Kelly
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Live Show, it always gets awkward because it's always questioning
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: and it puts you in a weird place to have
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: to respond to questions that you don't really you can't
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: really answer. Yeah, I get it. It's not traditional. Yeah,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: This isn't what I would have expected from my life.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Do I think I'm gonna find love here? I sure hope.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: So I don't really know, but it definitely got awkward Jin,
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: And it's kind of the first time that a lead
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: has spoken back.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: Yes, she fought back a little bit. Now it's all playful,
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: but because we know Kelly's history, it is yeah, like
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: because we know her history with these comments, like we
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: know she really means them. But it does feel like
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: on TV playful and not like super scary. But I
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: do like the way that Jen kind of questioned her back.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: So what happens is Kelly says, why why would you?
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: Why would you go on this show? You're so beautiful,
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: you can find a guy here or there. I just
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: don't understand, drop dead gorgeous. Why why why? And then
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: then Jen goes, well, didn't. Where did you meet your husband?
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: And they met on All My Children? And then she
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: was like on TV no, And then Kelly was so
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: quick to shut down the comparison, being like, those are
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: not the same. We were both professional. Are you acting
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: on your show? I didn't marry Mark's character Matteo Santez.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: I married Mark Consuelos.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Not untrue, but I do think I think the bigger
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: picture is you can find love in the most random
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: and the most unexpected places.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's you know, it's just a little offensive
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: to us who have found love there.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: You go, I actually should go on there and tell
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: her that, hey, until next time, I've been there.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: I've been Ashley. Next time, if I'm here, I well,
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: if I'm here soon, I still won't be able to breathe. Well,
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: if you've been able to tell But then in a
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: month or so, I should be able to rock breathing again.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: So I'm really excited about that.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Guys. Actually, best of luck.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: As always, we're going to sign off until well, you
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: aren't here with us. If it happens between now and
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: the next time I record.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: We sure hope it doesn't, because that I mean, there's
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: a fiasco of Jared Guys.
