0:12
Speaker 2: things happening in Bachelor Nation, some huge show announcements that
0:17
Speaker 2: Bachelor Nation is a part of. This is gonna be great. Yes,
0:21
Speaker 2: we have Becca Kufron here to share all of her opinions.
0:24
Speaker 2: The first headline is this. It shocked me. It shocked
0:27
Speaker 2: me so much Becca that I texted anybody I knew
0:30
Speaker 2: that liked the show, anybody I knew at the Almost
0:33
Speaker 2: Famous Podcast behind the scenes, and I said, what the
0:37
Speaker 2: headline is this? Bachelor Nations Brandon Jones and Serene Russell
0:41
Speaker 2: break up this According to e they shared a joint
0:45
Speaker 2: statement online Becca talking about how they've attempted to work
0:51
Speaker 2: through their differences privately. They're asking for respect. There's no
0:56
Speaker 2: hate between the two of them, but they all are
1:00
Speaker 2: calling off their engagement now. If you remember when they're
1:04
Speaker 2: on the show, it felt like such a sure thing
1:06
Speaker 2: that Jesse Palmer even asked if that he you know,
1:09
Speaker 2: if they want to get married right there, and they
1:11
Speaker 2: just wanted their family around is the only reason. They
1:14
Speaker 2: said no to it. So here's what I've heard, because
1:19
Speaker 2: I was very curious, and I was shocked, more shocked
1:22
Speaker 2: than anything. So I thought they were just such a
1:23
Speaker 2: great couple. Was that this isn't necessarily a huge surprise
1:27
Speaker 2: to those close to them, there have been some some
1:29
Speaker 2: issues here kind of building up, and that this was
1:31
Speaker 2: something expected by their close friends. What are your thoughts
1:36
Speaker 2: on it? You've been around Brandon, right, you know it's sad.
1:41
Speaker 2: This is a sad one for me.
1:43
Speaker 3: I mean it's always sad going.
1:46
Speaker 4: I mean it's obvious sad going through a breakup in general.
1:48
Speaker 4: And I mean and for you and I who have.
1:51
Speaker 3: Gone through very public breakups from the show. I feel
1:55
Speaker 3: for them.
1:56
Speaker 4: I mean it's not something I would want anyone to
1:59
Speaker 4: have to really experience. I mean, yes, it's like part
2:02
Speaker 4: of your life and your journey, and I hate stand journey,
2:05
Speaker 4: but I do feel for them. Yeah, I've spent time
2:10
Speaker 4: with both of them. I mean, they've they they were
2:12
Speaker 4: living in San Diego close to us, and we would
2:15
Speaker 4: see them at some different events and just get togethers,
2:19
Speaker 4: and they seemed.
2:21
Speaker 3: Like any couple. But you know, we all hear rumbling.
2:25
Speaker 4: So I don't know if it was really a sh
2:29
Speaker 4: I don't want to say, isn't really a shock to
2:31
Speaker 4: me because nothing really shocks me in this world. I mean,
2:36
Speaker 4: it's just like the show is so quick and on
2:40
Speaker 4: and off and things change within a day. I think
2:42
Speaker 4: you just have to take everything that comes from this
2:44
Speaker 4: with a grain of salt. But yeah, I just feel
2:49
Speaker 4: bad for what they have to go through right now.
2:51
Speaker 4: I mean just with the amount of people probably in
2:53
Speaker 4: their dms and commenting and press outlets reaching out to them,
2:59
Speaker 4: like when all they probably want is quiet and want
3:02
Speaker 4: to break. That's that's I think the hard part.
3:04
Speaker 3: And knowing just like what they're up against right now.
3:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was shocked because I've never been around the
3:12
Speaker 2: two of them together and I was just a massive
3:16
Speaker 2: fan of them in Paradise. And the other sad part
3:20
Speaker 2: about this is we didn't get to see a lot
3:22
Speaker 2: of them in Paradise because they seem so perfect that
3:24
Speaker 2: they don't ever get showed. They're kind of like the
3:27
Speaker 2: good couple that you know is going to work out,
3:29
Speaker 2: and so they never get any drama associated with them,
3:31
Speaker 2: so we never see them on TV. Yeah, but that's
3:34
Speaker 2: a sad one. But they have announced they are splitting.
3:39
Speaker 2: Next headline is Bachelor Nation alum Leslie Murphy, somebody who
3:43
Speaker 2: I think the world of as well, is pregnant expecting
3:47
Speaker 2: second child with husband Alex. The baby boat photo has
3:52
Speaker 2: been posted. They are having their second baby and they
3:56
Speaker 2: are both very excited about it.
4:00
Speaker 4: Go to you know, I, I also, just like you
4:03
Speaker 4: think the world of Leslie. I'm so happy for them, Really,
4:06
Speaker 4: anyone who is going through this phase and a growing family,
4:11
Speaker 4: it's so exciting. I will say I did love when
4:15
Speaker 4: they announced it on Instagram, the throwback that they did
4:18
Speaker 4: when they when they first announced their first child a
4:21
Speaker 4: couple of years ago. I feel like they've come full
4:24
Speaker 4: circle and they kind of recreated that moment with their now.
4:28
Speaker 4: I think she's what two or three with their daughter.
4:31
Speaker 4: I thought that was so precious, and I really liked
4:34
Speaker 4: what she wrote where and I don't even I won't
4:38
Speaker 4: even quote it, but in her caption she said something like,
4:41
Speaker 4: you know, we're so grateful to be experienced in this,
4:43
Speaker 4: but I also recognize the hardships and the different journeys
4:49
Speaker 4: for other women who maybe you know, can't experience this,
4:53
Speaker 4: or who are having difficulties with their own pregnancies and
4:57
Speaker 4: even getting pregnant in general. I thought that was a
5:00
Speaker 4: really nice sentiment to throw in there, and again just
5:02
Speaker 4: shows like how great of a woman she is. And
5:05
Speaker 4: so yeah, I thought that was really beautifully written and
5:08
Speaker 4: I'm so excited for them.
5:10
Speaker 2: Well, the stud from Bachelor Nation girls dream about him,
5:17
Speaker 2: but only one gets the Thomas Jacobs said, Yay, congrats
5:21
Speaker 2: to you and your beautiful growing family. That's the caption
5:24
Speaker 2: that was highlighted in the headline.
5:26
Speaker 5: Oh, just let us speak guy.
5:40
Speaker 2: Kaylu miller Key celebrates bachelorette party in bridle Shower in
5:45
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. There's another headline down here that she did
5:49
Speaker 2: just recently receive her fourth ring from the team, so
5:55
Speaker 2: the wedding plans are continuing. Caylen looks super happy. The
5:58
Speaker 2: two of them are planning their wedding in Aspen, Colorado
6:03
Speaker 2: in just a few months. It will be this year,
6:06
Speaker 2: but everything's moving forward and she is celebrating with friends
6:08
Speaker 2: and family. Okay, here's one that I want your opinion on.
6:15
Speaker 2: Former Bachelor Nick Viile said he was self conscious about
6:21
Speaker 2: the eighteen year age gap between him and his fiance Natalie. Okay,
6:27
Speaker 2: that's pretty much what the headline speaks to right. The
6:30
Speaker 2: headline speaks to the article eighteen year age gap. Becca thoughts,
6:36
Speaker 2: how would you process that if you fell in love
6:38
Speaker 2: with somebody eighteen years older than you? Should he be
6:42
Speaker 2: self conscious?
6:43
Speaker 4: I mean, I cannot fault anyone for what they feel,
6:47
Speaker 4: and I'm sure if I was in his position, I
6:49
Speaker 4: would also haven initial question starting a relationship. Of course,
6:55
Speaker 4: I think that's natural. I also, you know, aged is
7:00
Speaker 4: just a number, and so I I grew up in
7:04
Speaker 4: a family my mom and dad were twelve years apart.
7:06
Speaker 4: That's a very big age gap, and but that's what
7:10
Speaker 4: I was used to, and I don't think love knows
7:12
Speaker 4: a number, And so I understand the hesitancy.
7:15
Speaker 3: And I think he had mentioned like he wanted to.
7:18
Speaker 4: Card her see her I d when they first started dating,
7:21
Speaker 4: which I'm sure I would do the same, just as
7:24
Speaker 4: a joke. But look, they've been together now for what
7:30
Speaker 4: two three plus years, and it's clearly working.
7:34
Speaker 3: They're they're engaged, they're.
7:36
Speaker 4: Planning a wedding, and so I think the initial hesitancy,
7:40
Speaker 4: I'm sure I totally understand that, but now I'm sure
7:44
Speaker 4: they're like, it doesn't mean anything to us, eighteen years whatever,
7:48
Speaker 4: Like this is our life now. I love you for
7:50
Speaker 4: you and not how old or how young you are.
7:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's it's interesting because Jessin I have
7:56
Speaker 2: a little age gap seven years, And at first it
8:03
Speaker 2: was like a little bit of like a hm, that's interesting, right,
8:05
Speaker 2: we have a seven year age gap. She's like in
8:08
Speaker 2: her early twenties. I'm turning thirty. That is just different,
8:14
Speaker 2: And so you think about it, it never like was
8:16
Speaker 2: a deal breaker or never something that I was like, oh,
8:18
Speaker 2: I'm not going to date this person because they're so
8:20
Speaker 2: much younger. That was never thought. In fact, I was like, yes,
8:23
Speaker 2: she's gonna look good a lot longer than.
8:25
Speaker 3: I do, and she's gonna look good regardless no matter what.
8:28
Speaker 1: Not.
8:29
Speaker 2: That lucky. But the weirdest part is now as we're
8:33
Speaker 2: married and we're talking more like it's the television shows
8:36
Speaker 2: and the references and like the music and just like
8:41
Speaker 2: commercials that like I'll like quote that she has no
8:44
Speaker 2: clue of, like literally oblivious to because of just that
8:48
Speaker 2: seven years. So that'd be the only thing with eighteen years.
8:51
Speaker 2: There's a lot that happens in eighteen years. Yeah, now
8:54
Speaker 2: you wouldn't have having like you wouldn't be able to
8:56
Speaker 2: talk about.
8:57
Speaker 4: I used to joke with my mom thinking about even
8:59
Speaker 4: her my dad's age gap, Like my dad was eighteen
9:02
Speaker 4: when my mom was I think in third grade, and
9:06
Speaker 4: I used to make fun of that. But I'm like, oh,
9:08
Speaker 4: the older you get, the more mature you are. And
9:10
Speaker 4: especially I think with women, we mature faster than men usually,
9:16
Speaker 4: And so I feel like it kind of bounces it out.
9:18
Speaker 4: But I can definitely see your point where you're referencing
9:22
Speaker 4: things that you grew up with, bands, foods, so toys,
9:27
Speaker 4: anything where if somebody didn't necessarily know that, you're like.
9:31
Speaker 3: Oh, gosh, I'm aging myself a lot here, aren't I.
9:34
Speaker 3: So I totally get.
9:36
Speaker 2: That, Like I remember, this is no joke. I remember
9:40
Speaker 2: when televisions had like the turnnob because there's like twenty channels,
9:46
Speaker 2: Like you're like the nice televisions had, like yeahurnnobs. I
9:49
Speaker 2: remember this, Like Jessica's like flat screens are like where
9:55
Speaker 2: she was at, like it had it just advanced so fast.
9:58
Speaker 2: So some of that stuff does make me feel oh,
10:01
Speaker 2: but it love, Like you said, knows no numbers. Have
10:06
Speaker 2: you ever met Zach Clark Becca not in person.
10:09
Speaker 4: We had him on the podcast I mean just following
10:13
Speaker 4: tatious season, so I've only chatted with him for an hour,
10:15
Speaker 4: but he seems like a lovely man.
10:17
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, he obviously does a ton of work in
10:20
Speaker 2: recovery and rehabilitation and he hosts his first annual Release
10:26
Speaker 2: Recovery gala. There are some Bachelor Nation stars there with
10:31
Speaker 2: him at this event. He posted some pictures. He does
10:36
Speaker 2: some incredible work. And I think from a distance because
10:41
Speaker 2: I don't know Zach well, he's been on the show,
10:44
Speaker 2: but that's about it. I just always really respected kind
10:49
Speaker 2: of how he's enhanced his passions through the platform that
10:55
Speaker 2: was given to him. And it seems like this gala
10:58
Speaker 2: was a huge success. They raised over five hundred thousand
11:01
Speaker 2: dollars to support scholarships for individuals who cannot afford substance
11:05
Speaker 2: abuse mental health treatment. How cool is that.
11:08
Speaker 4: It's incredible, I mean absolutely incredible, and I think it's
11:12
Speaker 4: a great testament for somebody who's on the show. You know,
11:15
Speaker 4: people I think see contestants on the show and they think, oh,
11:18
Speaker 4: they're only there for clout or for followers and to
11:22
Speaker 4: get insta famous, you name it. And I think he
11:25
Speaker 4: is somebody who has done such a phenomenal job while
11:29
Speaker 4: he was on his season, but also throughout that to
11:32
Speaker 4: still be able to, as you said, back up his
11:36
Speaker 4: passions and to really draw awareness to those.
11:39
Speaker 3: So I mean kudos to him.
11:41
Speaker 4: He I've heard nothing but great things about him, and
11:43
Speaker 4: the fact that he is working so hard on these
11:46
Speaker 4: charities and something he's talked about since we saw him
11:49
Speaker 4: on Tatious season. It just I think it's incredible.
11:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do what an amazing effort. And I hope
11:58
Speaker 2: everybody here listening goes out and checks out his organization,
12:02
Speaker 2: maybe just sends him a social media message and says, hey,
12:05
Speaker 2: great work, keep it up, keep doing you, keep doing
12:07
Speaker 2: great things, because encouragement is always helpful, and almost famous
12:12
Speaker 2: listeners are good at that. Well. Big announcement just came
12:16
Speaker 2: through breaking headlines, Becka, it's not on your rundown, so
12:19
Speaker 2: you'd have no clue what it is. Okay, but USA
12:23
Speaker 2: Network adds all new dating show, The Big D. It
12:29
Speaker 2: is explained it as an untitled social experiment from Studio Lambert.
12:34
Speaker 2: It's slated alongside Temptation Island and in season two of Barmageddon.
12:41
Speaker 2: The Big D premieres June fourteenth at ten pm. Eastern Time.
12:45
Speaker 2: And here's why I'm speaking about it. You remember, right,
12:50
Speaker 2: the Big D might sound familiar to so many because
12:52
Speaker 2: it's hosted by Jojo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers. So the
12:58
Speaker 2: whole concept this is so interesting to me is recent
13:05
Speaker 2: divorces search for romance and paradise with one catch, their
13:09
Speaker 2: exes are also along for their journey. Oh no, I mean,
13:15
Speaker 2: can we talk about something that just feels like a
13:18
Speaker 2: mess is gonna happen?
13:19
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that sounds so messy that I have
13:24
Speaker 3: to watch.
13:24
Speaker 2: This, right, I mean, there's there's so many shows coming
13:29
Speaker 2: out that if you would have told me the concept
13:32
Speaker 2: of them ten years ago, be like, there's nobody would
13:34
Speaker 2: ever agree to do that, Like who in their right mind? Right?
13:39
Speaker 2: There's shows about like moms dating like younger men, but
13:45
Speaker 2: like the son of the mom is also on the
13:48
Speaker 2: beach watching you know, his mom date other men along,
13:52
Speaker 2: Like this stuff is all crazy, Like it's only set
13:55
Speaker 2: up to one be really entertaining and to be absolutely
13:59
Speaker 2: ridiculous crazy.
14:01
Speaker 4: Oh, you could not pay me enough to be a
14:03
Speaker 4: contestant on that show.
14:05
Speaker 2: No, can you imagine like being on a beach with
14:09
Speaker 2: your mom as she's dating like people your age and
14:12
Speaker 2: you're watching them like canoodle listen.
14:15
Speaker 4: If that was my mom and she wanted to do that,
14:18
Speaker 4: I would say, hell, yeah, Mom, let's go for I
14:20
Speaker 4: will help you, a will be your wing woman.
14:22
Speaker 3: But but oh.
14:24
Speaker 4: My gosh, no, I mean for this, Like, I can't
14:26
Speaker 4: imagine having to go through a divorce. I'm sure is
14:31
Speaker 4: gut wrenching and probably one of the hardest things anyone
14:33
Speaker 4: would have to do in their life. But like then
14:34
Speaker 4: to have to try to move on and meet somebody
14:38
Speaker 4: while your ex is right.
14:40
Speaker 3: There, no, thank you, uh huh no.
14:43
Speaker 4: But I'm sure honestly, I could see a lot of
14:46
Speaker 4: the relationships rekindling with their initial person that they were
14:50
Speaker 4: once married to.
14:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, that could actually be the case too, right, Like
14:54
Speaker 2: you're there's a comfort, there's a there's a care, So
14:58
Speaker 2: I could actually see that. Also, I have to admit it,
15:01
Speaker 2: I'll be watching it. Yeah, yeah, I mean I think
15:06
Speaker 2: it's it's something i'd tune into.
15:08
Speaker 3: Well as cringing as you're saying that too.
15:12
Speaker 2: I just feel like I'm one of those people that
15:13
Speaker 2: watches television and have to I have to watch through
15:16
Speaker 2: my hands, Like I can't watch it. It makes me
15:18
Speaker 2: feel very uncomfortable. Like television and I have a very
15:21
Speaker 2: emotional relationship. We uh get. I get very uncomfortable watching
15:25
Speaker 2: awkwardness on TV, but I like doing it.
15:30
Speaker 3: You can't stop.
15:31
Speaker 2: I can't stop, which is probably why this will be
15:34
Speaker 2: a massive success.
15:35
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, I'm going to have to have you record,
15:37
Speaker 4: like Instagram live when you're.
15:39
Speaker 3: Watching some of these seasons, some of these episodes.
15:42
Speaker 2: Maybe that's what I'll start breaking down here. Also on
15:44
Speaker 2: the allst podcast is the Big Please do just so
15:49
Speaker 2: many unspeakable things. Another headline is House of Villains. Premiere
15:54
Speaker 2: is the Fall of twenty twenty three, hosted by Joel McHale,
15:57
Speaker 2: This outrageously sinister competition elimination series brings ten of reality
16:02
Speaker 2: television's most iconic and infamous villains under one roof, where
16:07
Speaker 2: they must outsmart, out manipulate, and outscheme each other through
16:12
Speaker 2: a series of challenges in order to win a cash
16:15
Speaker 2: prize and the title of America's Ultimate Supervillain. House of
16:19
Speaker 2: Villains is produced by Irwin Entertainment and John Irwin, Dave Kooba,
16:24
Speaker 2: Eli Frankel, and Matt Odgers serving as executive producers. Okay,
16:33
Speaker 2: that's the show. I have a couple of thoughts, probably
16:36
Speaker 2: not gonna be popular and people are gonna be upset.
16:39
Speaker 2: Here's I will be interested in the show, and I
16:44
Speaker 2: want to hear from you who you think from our
16:46
Speaker 2: you know, television show the Bachelor and Bachelorette, who you
16:50
Speaker 2: think would be really great on the show. I feel
16:53
Speaker 2: I feel like though, here's my first thought when I
16:56
Speaker 2: read this, It's gonna give people even more incentive to
17:01
Speaker 2: be a villain on these shows so they stand out.
17:05
Speaker 2: And I don't like that because I don't want anybody
17:09
Speaker 2: to come off of at least the show that we
17:12
Speaker 2: were on and be villainized like that. It happens because
17:15
Speaker 2: some people are just mean, or some people are just manipulative,
17:18
Speaker 2: or some people are just jerks, and they get kicked
17:21
Speaker 2: off because they are those things. And at that point,
17:26
Speaker 2: like I hope they have a wake up call and
17:27
Speaker 2: they start to change course and they such as see
17:29
Speaker 2: some reality in themselves. But there's another side of this
17:34
Speaker 2: where people get villainized unfairly. We have all known somebody
17:39
Speaker 2: that's had to happen, and it stinks like it's not fun,
17:44
Speaker 2: and so I don't want people to feel like they
17:46
Speaker 2: need to be a villain to make TV because I
17:48
Speaker 2: just don't feel like it's a healthy, healthy lifestyle. I
17:52
Speaker 2: would guess, I would.
17:53
Speaker 3: Say, yeah, And I guess too.
17:55
Speaker 4: There's always, like you said, there's the villains that like
18:00
Speaker 4: say terrible things to other people on the show and
18:03
Speaker 4: or say terrible things when they're in an interview. And
18:06
Speaker 4: then there's also the ones that are kind of manipulated
18:09
Speaker 4: or it's more of like not the person's actions or
18:12
Speaker 4: words themselves, but other people just chirping in of like
18:15
Speaker 4: why they maybe don't like someone. I think that this
18:18
Speaker 4: will give people an incentive to just be even more dramatic,
18:25
Speaker 4: over the top, like very much out there.
18:29
Speaker 3: But again, I think it's just going to weed out.
18:31
Speaker 4: People who if you're going to just Bacheler in general,
18:35
Speaker 4: people who are there quote unquote for the right reasons,
18:37
Speaker 4: versus who would be there to gain this next level
18:42
Speaker 4: or this next platform or go on a different show. Okay,
18:47
Speaker 4: so for your first part, you asked who from the
18:51
Speaker 4: Bachelor franchise would could I see going on the show?
18:54
Speaker 4: I mean, oh god, I mean the first person that
18:58
Speaker 4: pops into my mind would be Karenne from She.
19:03
Speaker 2: Is exactly what popped into my mind.
19:05
Speaker 4: Was she on your season?
19:06
Speaker 3: Oh, she's on Nicks. And I only say that because honestly,
19:10
Speaker 3: I don't even think she's a villain. I'm gonna say
19:12
Speaker 3: that right now. She's just funny.
19:15
Speaker 4: She says it like it is, so I think she
19:18
Speaker 4: just makes great TV. So I think she would be
19:21
Speaker 4: very entertaining on this spin off. So I could see her. Yeah,
19:25
Speaker 4: just first one that pops to mind. I mean, if
19:26
Speaker 4: we're talking like actual villain villain, somebody who has said
19:31
Speaker 4: things and done things, I would say, uh, Chad from
19:35
Speaker 4: JoJo's season, because like we've seen.
19:39
Speaker 3: Heard a lot about him.
19:40
Speaker 4: But but Karin would just be entertaining. I think she'd
19:44
Speaker 4: be so fun to watch. She would be like a
19:46
Speaker 4: little sassy, a little spicy, funny.
19:49
Speaker 3: So I mean I would cast her if I was
19:51
Speaker 3: a producer.
19:52
Speaker 2: Yeah. When I think of this, Kring was the first
19:54
Speaker 2: nipop in my mind. Again, not because I think she
19:56
Speaker 2: is the ultimate villain or that she's a great villain,
20:00
Speaker 2: but I think she has the like the villain title
20:03
Speaker 2: because she is controversial. She is she does say whatever
20:08
Speaker 2: she's feeling, and she's not pushy, but she's very direct
20:14
Speaker 2: in how she pursues and so I think that really
20:18
Speaker 2: like threw people off that were also on her season
20:21
Speaker 2: and she's all but but here's the thing. If I'm
20:23
Speaker 2: when I'm watching the show, I want to watch people
20:26
Speaker 2: I want to watch, and she's somebody I love watching
20:29
Speaker 2: on television because she's outrageous. Yeah, it's awesome.
20:33
Speaker 4: Yes, again, she would be there for the entertainment like
20:36
Speaker 4: she wouldn't be. I mean, I can't see her like
20:40
Speaker 4: actually being malicious but just hilarious.
20:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be the first one that comes in
20:45
Speaker 2: my mind. Listeners, if you're listening to this right now,
20:48
Speaker 2: please message us on who you would love to see
20:51
Speaker 2: from the Bachelor franchise on the show. Who you want
20:55
Speaker 2: to see kind of be the villain that represents the
20:59
Speaker 2: bachelor in Bachelorette. Okay, two more headlines, Becca, then we'll
21:15
Speaker 2: get you out of here, back to your busy world.
21:19
Speaker 2: This one's fun for me. I always love to ask
21:21
Speaker 2: this question when people come on to the show when
21:26
Speaker 2: they've been you know, removed from the show during their season.
21:29
Speaker 2: You know, who catches your eye from other seasons, Like
21:32
Speaker 2: if you went to Paradise, who would you be interested in?
21:35
Speaker 2: And Clayton Eckert reveals who from Zach season caught his eye.
21:41
Speaker 2: I don't know if we'll see Clayton in Paradise or not.
21:43
Speaker 2: That would be cool, right, worked for you, maybe you
21:46
Speaker 2: could work for him on Clickbait, Clayton admitted, And we
21:53
Speaker 2: had this person on the Almost Famous podcast, and I
21:55
Speaker 2: will say she's a catch. I think like she should
21:58
Speaker 2: go to Paradise and she would be sought after and
22:02
Speaker 2: have a blast, and she seems like a really sweet human.
22:06
Speaker 2: But he said that Jess caught his eye from Zach season.
22:13
Speaker 2: I could see it.
22:15
Speaker 4: She's the one who kind of removed herself a few
22:18
Speaker 4: weeks early. Correct, Okay, yeah, with the body.
22:22
Speaker 2: Glitter, with the body glitter that's actually brought up to her. Yes,
22:26
Speaker 2: she's beautiful, she was sweet, she was kind, she was
22:30
Speaker 2: curious about Ashley and I on the podcast, Like you
22:32
Speaker 2: can really get a sense that this when somebody's like
22:36
Speaker 2: being interviewed just how they are probably in person. I
22:40
Speaker 2: could see this one.
22:42
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, I mean I've I don't know her, I've
22:44
Speaker 4: never chatted with her. I can only go off of
22:46
Speaker 4: what I've seen and heard. I mean, okay, if we're
22:49
Speaker 4: talking about anyone from Zach season. I feel like most
22:53
Speaker 4: of those women are incredible and so supportive of the
22:56
Speaker 4: other women.
22:57
Speaker 3: I think this.
22:58
Speaker 4: Year with women on the beach will be just phenomenal.
23:03
Speaker 4: Like though, any man that walks down will be lucky
23:05
Speaker 4: to be there. But I could actually see too, because
23:09
Speaker 4: from what I've seen she seems very sweet.
23:11
Speaker 3: Clinton is such a kind man.
23:14
Speaker 4: And really truly is so supportive and wants the best
23:19
Speaker 4: for others.
23:20
Speaker 3: So I mean, I could see it. I would support that.
23:24
Speaker 2: I would support it too. You're right, the beach we
23:27
Speaker 2: say it every season. It just seems like every season
23:30
Speaker 2: tops the season previous. But the beach this year is
23:34
Speaker 2: going to be full of incredible women who, yes, like
23:37
Speaker 2: you said, have kind of shown already that on a
23:42
Speaker 2: bigger stage, in a more tense environment, they support each
23:47
Speaker 2: other so well that I think Paradise could be a
23:49
Speaker 2: lot of fun. These dudes are lucky. They better feel lucky.
23:54
Speaker 2: They better know they're lucky. They better be very appreciative
23:56
Speaker 2: if they get invited to the beach this year, and
23:58
Speaker 2: they better be good. Dude. I hope that, like I
24:01
Speaker 2: don't know, they find they find the top from both sides.
24:05
Speaker 3: Right right now, I'm excited to tune into the season.
24:09
Speaker 2: Will be happening soon. Also, what's happening soon is we're
24:13
Speaker 2: no longer going to be in the off season, listeners.
24:16
Speaker 2: We have a little bit of time left, and we've
24:18
Speaker 2: enjoyed this off season. We always enjoy the off season.
24:20
Speaker 2: We get to bring on incredible co hosts and incredible
24:23
Speaker 2: guests like Becca, talk about life, catch up on life,
24:26
Speaker 2: do a little in depth dive with them, and just
24:30
Speaker 2: kind of reset before a new season airs in the
24:34
Speaker 2: new season of The Bachelorette is premiering back Monday, June
24:37
Speaker 2: twenty sixth, and it's at a new time. I want
24:42
Speaker 2: to hear what you think of this. It's at nine
24:44
Speaker 2: pm Eastern time on ABC. Still. Okay, here's my thought,
24:50
Speaker 2: super exciting one. Like you said this, I think this
24:52
Speaker 2: is gonna be a great season. I hope it's a
24:54
Speaker 2: great season. They need a great season nine pm. So
24:59
Speaker 2: if they're gonna ask me two watch three hours of
25:05
Speaker 2: The Bachelorette every Monday, sometimes on a Tuesday. Who knows,
25:09
Speaker 2: they might even throw in another Wednesday starting at nine pm.
25:13
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be exhausted. I was exhausted last season. I'm
25:16
Speaker 2: gonna be exhausted. So are they like cutting down the
25:21
Speaker 2: length of an episode do you think? Because at nine pm,
25:24
Speaker 2: if you're in school, which a lot of their demographic is,
25:28
Speaker 2: that means you're not in the bed till like eleven o'clock,
25:30
Speaker 2: which seems late for me.
25:32
Speaker 4: Listen, mom is in bed at eight thirty these days,
25:34
Speaker 4: there's no way I can stay up to watch that.
25:37
Speaker 4: I will support charity and I will see if I
25:40
Speaker 4: can get cuts early or watch it the next day.
25:43
Speaker 4: That's crazy to me. I can't imagine them cutting the
25:47
Speaker 4: episode shorter because I mean, each season, you know, has
25:50
Speaker 4: an allotted amount of weeks, right, so it's usually what
25:53
Speaker 4: eleven or twelve weeks, and you have to show enough
25:57
Speaker 4: to make a season, And so I can't image to
26:00
Speaker 4: them cutting it to only an hour each week because
26:02
Speaker 4: then you're not seeing anything.
26:05
Speaker 3: And so.
26:08
Speaker 4: I mean, I think they're going to keep the same
26:12
Speaker 4: aunt of time, but I'm they're going to lose a
26:14
Speaker 4: lot of people that late.
26:16
Speaker 2: I agree, it feels it feels like a strategic move.
26:21
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's just strategic to get more
26:24
Speaker 2: viewers less viewers, or to just move it to a
26:26
Speaker 2: new time slot. But as we mentioned, early on. This
26:31
Speaker 2: is kind of a new era in the Bachelor of franchise. Yeah,
26:35
Speaker 2: I'm excited and very intrigued at what it will look
26:38
Speaker 2: like and how it will feel. But there will be
26:40
Speaker 2: changes and we have to expect those changes. This is
26:43
Speaker 2: the first This is the biggest change this next season
26:47
Speaker 2: in the Bachelor franchise. I would say, I would argue
26:51
Speaker 2: this since episode one, season one. I mean, yes, losing
26:55
Speaker 2: Chris Harrison was a massive change for the show, a
26:58
Speaker 2: big switch. But losing producers and founders and overseers who
27:06
Speaker 2: has been who have been there since the beginning, who
27:08
Speaker 2: have the ultimate say since the beginning, I think will
27:12
Speaker 2: change a lot and so a lot of curiosity leading
27:16
Speaker 2: into June twenty sixth.
27:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have no idea what to expect in any regard,
27:22
Speaker 4: which I kind of love.
27:23
Speaker 2: Yeah. Right, we're all on the same page here. Well, Becca,
27:26
