  Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: It's Almost Famous podcast.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: We're here today to bring you the latest headlines happening
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: in Bachelor Nation. Ashley, let's dive into some of the
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: headlines this week. I also want to remind listeners that
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: we do a Frankie Friday. It usually ties in a
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: couple different headlines. If you're wondering why our headlines aren't
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: like Taylor Frankie Paul forward, it's because on Fridays, we're
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: specifically talking about the news surrounding Taylor Frankie Paul, and
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: oftentimes there's other Bachelor contestants that are involved in some
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: of that news. So today let's focus on some headlines
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: happening here. Bachelor alum Emily Maynard Johnson's daughter Ricky Hendrick
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: delivers first baby. That's wild to remember Ricky on the show.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: That is why this is the headline.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Ricky was a main character on Emily season, which was
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: just a huge peak.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: In the franchise for me.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: I loved her season so very much, and Ricky was
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: just a little girl.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. If her season was.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Let's just pretend it's thirteen years agough estimate.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: And Ricky is now thirteen. Yes, she was like seven
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: at the time, maybe even a little bit younger. And
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: now she is a baby, making her mom Emily at
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: thirty nine, a grandma, which I know isn't the craziest thing.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: And when you think that, like Emily had her baby
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Ricky at nineteen, and now Ricky's having a baby at
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: twenty neither I mean obviously very young moms, but also
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: like not teen pregnancies. I mean nineteen, you know, you're
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: like technically an adult. And I mean what a blessing
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Ricky was to Emily, especially after the tragedy that followed.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: If you guys don't remember or you didn't watch the
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: show back then, Emily found out that she was pregnant
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: with Ricky right after her fiance at the time I'm
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: a rice car driver passed away in a plane crash.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: She found out that she was pregnant with their daughter.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: So really, really, I.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Mean, just an emotional situation, but thank goodness that she
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: has Ricky from that relationship.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: And yeah, so she's grandma now.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Ricky delivered via C section, and the caption says, we
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: became grandparents today, and the feeling is inexpressible.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: This is love. It's really like so crazy.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: So cool, and it's crazy to see how much Ricky
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: is starting to look like her mom.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Obviously, Emily Maydard will go down in history as one
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: of the most iconic bachelorettes, if not the most of
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: all time. Ashley, we have a contestant from the Bachelor
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: and Bachelorette on Traders this season, and it is gaining
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: a lot of steam on my algorithm. But I don't
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: quite understand it, so I need you to explain it
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: to me. The headline reads this, the Traders Show issues statement,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: and this is a big deal. Again. The Trader's Show
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: issues statement urging fans to stop harassing cast and this
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: is a mid Elisa Renna and Colton Underwood drama. Ashley,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I don't understand what's happening. I haven't watched this season, Okay.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: So I'm very interested in this drama because of the
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: way that Lisa Renna explained her reaction her statement. She
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: said that she was coming at Colton in a housewife manner,
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: to which my worlds are colliding here. I'm like, Okay,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: so I have a bachelor contestant and a housewife contestant,
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: and apparently in these circles we handle things differently. But
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: because I don't watch Traders, I do want our Stan
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: our Traders, Stan Heather, our producer to come on and
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: explain exactly what's happening, because when I followed just the
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: show on Instagram, it looked as if Colton and Lisa
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: were friends in the house.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Initially, but it seems like things have been turned.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so obviously this is a spoiler. If anybody is
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: not caught up to the most recent episodes of The Traders,
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: stop listening now. But yes, everybody knows this season Lisa
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Rinna is a trader and Fulton has been extremely aggressive
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: in his gameplay of being very vocal at the roundtables
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: getting people out. So far, they've been very, very wrong
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: this whole season. But he is convinced in the most
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: recent episodes that Lisa is a trader, and so his
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: way of staying in the game was that he confronted
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: Lisa about this on camera and said, I know you're
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: a trader, blah blah blah.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: How did he know this?
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: He's just saying she's acting like a housewife. He says,
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: she's been very quiet she's not acting like herself herself.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: That's his tip off as to why she's a trader,
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: and she is basically, and he says to her and
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: now if you kill me tonight, now I really know
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: that you're a trader. And so he's really doing it
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: to keep himself in the game by confronting her in
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: this way. So it's really about the drama though that
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: has come off screen since this episode is aired. If
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: you want to read what happened online?
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, so she wrote underneath a comment which was
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: referring okay, she wrote on Instagram, let's talk about you
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: being a stalker, which we know is referring to Carlton's.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Past time out. She wrote that she wrote that.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: On Instagram, so this is like where it comes off
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: the show.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: She was commenting back to a fan. A fan wrote
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: something right, and that was her comment back when she retweeted.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Ith all right.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: So they're like not happy with each other outside of
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: the show either.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: No, that's what's interesting because Lisa writes this on Instagram somewhere,
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: referring to, of course, the harassment against.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Cassie, and then she comes on.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Instagram and posts on her own feed going like, oh,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: my gosh, I can't believe how far this is being
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: taken because I was just kind of having fun with Colton.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: He and I both on camera, off camera having fun
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: with each other. We get along very well. I did
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: not mean to start this thing by saying this. And
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: this is when she says, if you wanted me to
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: be a housewife, this is me reacting like a housewife.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: I'm being spicy here.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: I guess I'm confused. It's been a conversation Heather all
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: season right about how the Traders could cast Colton with
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: his history. I mean that has been something that's been
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: going on since really he got announced, and so that
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: isn't new.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: No, and Demi from previous seasons right already did a
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: very viral TikTok a couple weeks ago about the kind
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: of edit he's getting and that it's been very positive
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: for him. So yeah, a lot of people have had
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: a lot of discourse on the internet about his casting
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: in particular.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: So this is what the Traders, like the official Instagram
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: like whoever the publicists are said in response to just
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: this drama going on, said, we are committing to making
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: our cast feel safe, respected and supported on screen and offscreen.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: The cast of Traders are real people, and what happens
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: in the game it should never lead to cyberbullying or harassment.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: There's a difference between discussing a show and targeting individuals.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: Let's not ruin the passion for the show with unwarranted
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: negativity and personal attacks. We appreciate your support, and yeah,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: they released this one day after her comment on Instagram.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: I just want to comment here. It feels I'm not
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: going to put his past aside. I haven't talked to
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: col and I don't know him anymore and know him well.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: But I'm just trying to lay this out and understand
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: it as somebody hasn't watched but is going to get
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: into Traders because it sounds like it's such a good show. Obviously,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: the stalking conversation was has been a thing since he
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: got cast. As you mentioned, Heather Demi did a video.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Fans have been a little outraged that he would even
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: be on this show, so that was going on. We
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: knew it was a heated issue. What I'm confused by
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: and I'm trying to like communicate it in a way
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: that would make sense. If Lisa and Colton are so
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: close and such good friends and she's just having fun
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: with Colton and responding to spicy way. It feels like
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: now they're at a place to make light of this situation.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: That if they're friends and they're joking with each other,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: now this stalking thing has become joke worthy. Is that
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: what we're trying to say?
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: I think that Listen, Lisa made this. I would guess
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: that Lisa made this comment not thinking it was going
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: to gain as much traction as it did. We're also
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: coming off of Colton has been getting a lot of attention.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: There was another situation with another cast member the week
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: before that got very heated. That was about Colton saying
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: that the comments coming towards him were about his homosexuality.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: So he's been in the throes of kind of a
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: lot of stuff in the last I would say, two
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: episodes of the show, really, So I think the statement
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: that the show is making is not only about him,
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: but also there's been a lot of traction for another
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: cast member that Colton kind of led the team in banishing,
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: which was Michael Rappaport. So I think it's just two
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: weeks of a lot of aggressive content and comments on
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: the internet that the show is now like hey, hey, hey,
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: we have to pump the brakes. And I think that
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: Lisa just adding into this and her being the main
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: focus of the most recent episode was really like, Okay,
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: this isn't actually fun. It's actually starting to spin in
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: a really negative way. So you kind of need to
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: retract that. And I think that has.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Colton been getting praised this season then or no.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: He's getting a lot of negativity because, like I said,
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: he's being very vocal in the game, which is fun,
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: but he's also been really wrong in Alo, so he's
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: like leading the charge. I'm getting a lot of the
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: wrong people kicked off the show, and so people have
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: been like, uh, maybe you should chill wakay, all.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Right, well now you've I think after all these four seasons,
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: you just may have gotten me to watch that Traders.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Next headline is this Rachel Kirconnell reunites with Tyler Cameron
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: for a ski trip. This is obviously post the Matt
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: James breakup with Matt and Rachel. The reason this is
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: even the headline is because Tyler and Matt were are
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: are I don't know anymore good friends?
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is actually quite juicy because we don't see
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: Matt James and Tyler hanging out much anymore, and even
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: when both of them have been on the podcast, or
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: I guess that's really never been on the podcast, but
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: since I maybe, well a long time ago we're talking about.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: But last time Tyler was on, I asked him about
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: his friendship with Matt James, and it obviously seems just
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: to be like a little bit more of a casual
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: friendship than it used to be. They used to hang
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: out all the time, but it has been freaking five
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: years since they were hanging out during like the COVID Crew. Anyway,
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: now he's hanging out with Rachel, and I do and
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: I remember that, like this was a weird triangle of
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: like friendship and love, not that it was ever romantic
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: with Tyler, but like I remember, Rachel and Tyler had
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: had at some point some weird tension. And anyway, now
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: he's hanging out with her. And they posted a very
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: cute Instagram TikTok where their lip sninking while they're up
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: on a ski hill and said, like, why do we
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: always have to get involved? Can't we do normal stuff
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: that people do, like go for brunch before dramatically falling
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: back into the snow.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: And then he says, what the f is brunch? And
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I like all that. That's very fun.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: And then Rachel said send prayers of y'all in the
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: comment the caption area and said Tyler is trying to
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: kill me.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: I do think.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: That.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: I do think that he might be closer with Rachel now,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: especially after a breakup like that. I do wonder if
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: you have to choose sides. I'm also just creating drama here.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: I'm being a housewife. One of the comments in the
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: session was funny said, you got Tyler in the divorce
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: question mark, I don't know.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: It's good. This is good social media content.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Justin Glaze to make acting debut alongside Mormon wife Whitney
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Levitt in new rom com. This is huge news.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Hardon me, justin Glaize, what haven't you told us about?
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: This is really juicy. Okay. They're both gonna be in
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: this movie called All for Love. I wonder if there's
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: any sort of reality spin to it. Because this is
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: a Ninth House production. Whitney's gonna be playing the lead
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: next to actor Jesse Cove, who will be acting ast
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: her love interest in the movie, and the log line
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: is when a holiday dating app partnership forces podcaster Winona
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: to test love online. She connects to the mystery man,
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: who feels like everything she's been missing. What she doesn't
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: realize is that he is Luke, the rugged renovator, transforming
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: her grandmother's Christmas Eve venue.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: So the movie's currently in production.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: It's slated for, as you might guess based on the description,
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: a holiday time in twenty twenty six. Just another thing
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: that Whitney's added to her resumes. The girl's busy, really busy,
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: and I wonder if there's any relationship to here, like
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: is it gonna be a Hulu movie? Are we doing
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: another like ABC Hulu collab here?
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Well, to stay tuned, but it's big for Justin Glaze
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: to get definitely congrats to get this opportunity. A final
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: headline up today, Ali Fittitaski Mano shares unsettling update on
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: husband Kevin's thyroid cancer nearly one year after becoming cancer free.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: We had both of them on oh when about a
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: year ago?
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Probably yeah, because he had the surgery in February.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Wow, time flies, and it's interesting.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Actually, since then, I've had multiple people in my life,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: some people I love very dearly get diagnosed with thyroid cancer,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: and it does feel you know, remember when we talked
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: to him back in the day before we get in
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: the headline. Obviously this is an unsettling update, but remember
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: he was he was nervous more about the surgery than
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: he was the cancer diagnosis. He was feeling very good
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: about how they were going to proceed forward in removing
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: the cancer and helping him become cancer free. I also
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: remember then we gave the update soon after the surgery
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: that he was cancer free. But Ashley, obviously this feels
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: like a switching gears.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: So he had a follow up ultrasound recently, she posted
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: to her interest story, because he only had half of
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: this thyroid taken out in February, and the recent ultrasound
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: found a spot that we need to watch, she said.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: And the part about it being unsettling, of course, is
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: because that was how they were first worded his diagnosis,
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: like there's a spot that needs to be watched. So
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: because this is how they found out about the first place,
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: it just obviously doesn't feel like so great. The scan
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: was detected initially with a full body scan with Prenovo,
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: which I'm sorry reminder, I need to hook you up
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: with the primary care doctor advise him to return in
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: a year to check on the spot. So this is
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: his This is what happened was initially they found the
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: spot through the thing and it said you have to
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: keep watching the spot. A year later they found the
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: spot needed to be well. It was doubled in his eyes,
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: so he needed to go take it out. And now
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: we're just in a similar situation. So hopefully everything will
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: be okay and it'll be treatable again if it does
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: become something.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: We'll be following this for everybody listening and maybe trying
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: to get in touch with Kevin or ally just to
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: give us updates. Yeah. Well that's all the headlines we
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: have for you this week. Again, make sure you tune
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: into Frankie Fridays as we give updates on what's happening
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: in the life of our next bachelorette, Taylor Frankie Paul.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: In addition, we have interviews with Peg and Mel out
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: there as well as a breakdown of those interviews. They
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: were compelling, I think would be the word I would
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: wrap around those interviews until next time.
