Speaker 2: Hey guys, welcome to the Almost Famous podcast. Today we're
0:09
Speaker 2: talking headlines. Ben had sort of a headline making weekend
0:14
Speaker 2: himself as he organized a big Bachelor Guide strip to
0:18
Speaker 2: his home state of Indiana where they golfed. It was
0:22
Speaker 2: Zach Clark, Joey, You Wells, Dean, am I missing anyone,
0:28
Speaker 2: Joe Oh Grocery Shore Joe. What a great group. I
0:32
Speaker 2: want to hang out with that group.
0:35
Speaker 3: It was a great time.
0:36
Speaker 4: We're gonna have him on to talk all about it.
0:38
Speaker 4: We have a lot of fun stuff coming out. We
0:40
Speaker 4: actually had thirty six guys there, so, as I mentioned,
0:46
Speaker 4: it was like buddies from middle school, high school, college,
0:50
Speaker 4: my first job out of college, and then post that
0:55
Speaker 4: job into the bachelor world and today and so yeah,
0:58
Speaker 4: we had everybody from pastors to influencers to accountants all
1:05
Speaker 4: mixed in together. Nobody knew everybody except for me, which
1:09
Speaker 4: made it really fun. It was an incredible trip to
1:11
Speaker 4: French Lick, Indiana, one of the best golf resorts in
1:16
Speaker 4: the country. We had a lot of fun, a lot
1:20
Speaker 4: of stories to be had. I did not play well,
1:23
Speaker 4: so I'm frustrated, but we will have hopefully most of
1:29
Speaker 4: those guys able to come on next week kind of
1:31
Speaker 4: talk about the trip, talk about what it was like
1:33
Speaker 4: to be together, because there was no you know, here's
1:36
Speaker 4: what I wanted to do. I wanted to bring everybody
1:37
Speaker 4: together because they're friends. There was no expectation for publicity
1:42
Speaker 4: or content or exposure. There was no asks or requests,
1:48
Speaker 4: and so it was a trip just to be friends.
1:53
Speaker 4: And I'm excited to hear kind of how they felt
1:55
Speaker 4: about that. I don't know if many of us go
1:58
Speaker 4: on trips anymore where there's not some reciprocal ask that
2:03
Speaker 4: needs to be done in exchange. But I really wanted
2:06
Speaker 4: to make sure that this was just a trip to
2:08
Speaker 4: hang out because I.
2:09
Speaker 3: Liked these guys.
2:10
Speaker 2: What did everybody stay?
2:12
Speaker 4: We stayed at French Lick. It's the West Baden resort.
2:15
Speaker 4: It's a very nice old like it was built in
2:18
Speaker 4: the eighteen hundreds. It's if you look it up, it
2:21
Speaker 4: used to be called the ninth Wonder of the World.
2:23
Speaker 4: It's a huge dome. I was nervous, honestly, bringing thirty
2:28
Speaker 4: six guys in to a like five star resort was
2:32
Speaker 4: very scary for me.
2:35
Speaker 3: That they would tear it up. Nobody did.
2:36
Speaker 4: Nobody got arrested, nobody got in trouble, nobody broke anything.
2:40
Speaker 4: But I was nervous. But we stayed there and then
2:43
Speaker 4: we played the three courses that French Lick has kind
2:47
Speaker 4: of around the resort, had dinners there at night. They
2:52
Speaker 4: have a casino. We watched a lot of like basketball together,
2:56
Speaker 4: stayed up way too late at my watch, said, I
2:59
Speaker 4: averaged four hours and thirty minutes of sleep every night,
3:01
Speaker 4: which is crazy.
3:03
Speaker 2: Was it three nights?
3:04
Speaker 4: It's three nights, two days of golf, three nights. We
3:09
Speaker 4: got in Sunday. I think it's three nights. Yes, Sunday night,
3:11
Speaker 4: Monday night, Tuesday night, left Wednesday morning. So Sunday night
3:15
Speaker 4: we just did a big like welcome party with food
3:19
Speaker 4: in the game. And then Tuesday thirty six or Monday
3:23
Speaker 4: thirty six holes of golf, Tuesday eighteen holes of golf,
3:25
Speaker 4: and then I had a big campfire setup. They have
3:29
Speaker 4: like this amazing stables set up there at French Lick,
3:33
Speaker 4: and so we had like a big campfire with everybody
3:37
Speaker 4: and just hung out for the rest of the afternoon,
3:39
Speaker 4: which was great.
3:40
Speaker 2: I know that you want to have the guys on
3:42
Speaker 2: to talk about the experience, but just give us one
3:45
Speaker 2: little didbit for the week. What was the best laugh
3:49
Speaker 2: that you had?
3:50
Speaker 3: Oh goodness.
3:51
Speaker 4: I mean for me, this was like a laugh the
3:54
Speaker 4: whole time because I had so many men I loved
3:57
Speaker 4: throughout my life. There At one time we did have
4:00
Speaker 4: a camera like that kind of a drone that followed
4:04
Speaker 4: the trip. I wanted to capture the trip for these
4:08
Speaker 4: guys that helped me plan it. They're called golf trip
4:12
Speaker 4: makes sense. They helped me plan this trip, and I
4:14
Speaker 4: wanted to make sure we got good video and photos.
4:17
Speaker 4: And the funniest was just the guys kind of getting
4:21
Speaker 4: caught peeing in the woods by the drone.
4:25
Speaker 3: That was my favorite. I think.
4:28
Speaker 4: Also, I rented out the high Limit room one night
4:31
Speaker 4: at the casino, so it'd just be us in there,
4:34
Speaker 4: and so we got all around a craps table and
4:36
Speaker 4: played craps and it was just full of laughs.
4:39
Speaker 3: And cheers and hugs.
4:43
Speaker 4: I don't know, it's just it's a really cool thing
4:46
Speaker 4: to have so many people that I have memories with.
4:49
Speaker 4: And one of the things I'm sure these guys and
4:52
Speaker 4: I won't talk about, but I went to a store
4:55
Speaker 4: here in Denver called Pins and Aces. It's a golf
4:57
Speaker 4: brand and they do like really cool head covers and
5:01
Speaker 4: golf apparel. And I went in and picked out a
5:04
Speaker 4: headcover because they have like two hundred different head covers
5:07
Speaker 4: in there for like your clubs. Yeah, that reminded me
5:10
Speaker 4: of each person. So like, wait, guy, have you.
5:12
Speaker 2: Bought thirty something golf headtops.
5:15
Speaker 3: I did for these guys?
5:18
Speaker 2: How much you're one of those things?
5:20
Speaker 4: Oh they're not too like they're they're I mean, it
5:23
Speaker 4: wasn't a cheap trip for me, no, because the guys
5:26
Speaker 4: only had to pay for their food while they're there.
5:30
Speaker 4: So it was yeah, but it was worth it, like
5:32
Speaker 4: I think it's worth it to if I'm able to
5:35
Speaker 4: bring everybody together. But it was in like thirty six
5:37
Speaker 4: to fifty bucks a head cover and so but it
5:40
Speaker 4: was fun to like pick out Like a guy I
5:42
Speaker 4: know gets a ton of sunburns, Like he doesn't ever
5:45
Speaker 4: not sunburn He's like has like really light hair and
5:48
Speaker 4: he like really fair skin. And so I got him
5:50
Speaker 4: like a hot like a fire hot sauce headcover.
5:56
Speaker 3: I got wells like.
5:57
Speaker 4: A a transfusion, which is like a golf drink headcover
6:01
Speaker 4: for his you know, and he had flown back from
6:04
Speaker 4: Paradise to get there for this, which meant a lot too.
6:09
Speaker 4: There was a sacrifice there on everybody's end for him
6:11
Speaker 4: to be there. Dean flew in from Bolivia for this,
6:17
Speaker 4: so there was just a lot of like sacrifices that
6:20
Speaker 4: these guys made. I got Dean a leopard. I don't
6:24
Speaker 4: think he liked it, but I got him a leopard
6:26
Speaker 4: because he's an adventure I got Zach Clark an Abe
6:32
Speaker 4: Lincoln headcover because I think Zach Clark could change the
6:35
Speaker 4: world and he is honest and a man of integrity.
6:39
Speaker 4: I got Joe a Ninja Turtles because all the Ninja
6:42
Speaker 4: Turtles are Italian.
6:45
Speaker 2: Man, this is so good. I love this because you know,
6:48
Speaker 2: I love personalized gifts. It's so awesome.
6:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I got Wells, I said, Wells's Dean, Zach's
6:54
Speaker 4: Joe's who I'm missing out of the group.
6:59
Speaker 3: Of bachelor guys. Oh, Joey.
7:03
Speaker 4: I got Joey at Dancing Flamingos headcover for Dancing with
7:07
Speaker 4: the Stars, and it's like a bunch of Flamingos doing
7:09
Speaker 4: dance moves.
7:10
Speaker 2: Oh that's so fun. I love that so much.
7:14
Speaker 4: Honestly, if you're looking for a personalized gift for somebody,
7:17
Speaker 4: that golfs, pens, and aces is the way to go.
7:20
Speaker 4: It just has so many different options. They were great
7:23
Speaker 4: and they were super fun. And so I started out
7:26
Speaker 4: the weekend by because again, not everybody knew each other,
7:29
Speaker 4: So I started out the weekend by like pulling out
7:31
Speaker 4: the head cover explaining why I got it for this
7:34
Speaker 4: person and how I knew them, and then they would
7:35
Speaker 4: walk up and get it, and so everybody in there
7:37
Speaker 4: would be able to like be like, oh, that's so
7:40
Speaker 4: and so he has dancing flamingos. That's the guy from
7:43
Speaker 4: the Bachelor. Because I don't think any of my buddies
7:45
Speaker 4: watched the show.
7:46
Speaker 2: That's such a good idea to put things together, give
7:51
Speaker 2: him something to spark a conversation. Ben, what are your
7:55
Speaker 2: head covers on your own clubs?
7:57
Speaker 3: It's Waylan my dog.
8:00
Speaker 2: So it looks just like Whalen.
8:01
Speaker 3: It's literally Whalen remaxed.
8:03
Speaker 2: It's hilarious. Oh you made it.
8:05
Speaker 3: It was like personalized, it's personalized.
8:07
Speaker 4: And then I got like a sasquatch head cover because
8:10
Speaker 4: there's a sasquatch museum in Bailey, Colorado. Just about twenty
8:13
Speaker 4: minutes from my house, and I think it's the funniest,
8:16
Speaker 4: fun most interesting place.
8:19
Speaker 3: And I'm like obsessed with sasquatch now.
8:22
Speaker 4: And so I got a sasquatch head cover from Pens
8:25
Speaker 4: and Aces because.
8:28
Speaker 3: You know, does he does he live or not?
8:31
Speaker 4: Yeah?
8:31
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
8:33
Speaker 4: But if my voice sounds weak, it's because I spent
8:36
Speaker 4: all week and not sleeping and yelling. Yeah, because you
8:41
Speaker 4: get thirty six dudes in one place and it's it's
8:46
Speaker 4: hurting cats all the time, and so you're just yelling
8:50
Speaker 4: commands at everybody. And I woke up Wednesday morning and
8:56
Speaker 4: I can't. I haven't been able to get my voice
8:57
Speaker 4: back yet. I'm just now recovering.
9:01
Speaker 3: So yeah, it was great.
9:02
Speaker 4: And my dad was there, my father in law was there,
9:04
Speaker 4: my brother in law was there, so you know, they
9:08
Speaker 4: got to be around these guys again, meet a lot
9:12
Speaker 4: of them for the first time. My dad knew a
9:14
Speaker 4: lot of them just from life, but get to meet them.
9:17
Speaker 3: It was just special. And I think, you know, I
9:21
Speaker 3: want to do it more often.
9:24
Speaker 4: And and but you know, it's it's one of those
9:26
Speaker 4: times that you don't know how many times you're gonna
9:28
Speaker 4: get to do.
9:28
Speaker 3: It and so it. Jessica said it best.
9:31
Speaker 4: She said, Hey, when you when we got married, you
9:34
Speaker 4: looked around the room and I whispered in her ear.
9:36
Speaker 4: At our wedding she said, I said, hey, I'm just
9:39
Speaker 4: now realizing this is one of the only times in
9:41
Speaker 4: my life that so many people I love are going
9:42
Speaker 4: to be in one room. And she's like, you found
9:45
Speaker 4: a way to do it again, and I was like,
9:48
Speaker 4: you know what, You're right like this this is special
9:51
Speaker 4: for me.
9:52
Speaker 3: It's what I think life's all about.
9:54
Speaker 2: I feel that, and it is depressing at your wedding
9:58
Speaker 2: to realize that that is one of those. So it's
10:00
Speaker 2: cool that you were able to have sort of a
10:03
Speaker 2: similar one.
10:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm sure we're going to get the guys
10:06
Speaker 4: on here and they're going to talk about the golf.
10:10
Speaker 4: I do want to mention Wells is going to love
10:12
Speaker 4: this and he's going to see the headline.
10:14
Speaker 2: What did he tell you about Paradise?
10:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sworn to secrecy. The head to head matchup
10:21
Speaker 4: that I had with Wells, I did beat him. I
10:22
Speaker 4: want to make sure that is clear and out there.
10:24
Speaker 4: So that is three times in a row now in
10:27
Speaker 4: our head to head matchups. When we play with each other,
10:30
Speaker 4: that I do come out on top, and that is
10:33
Speaker 4: a brag. That is me floating my ego out into
10:36
Speaker 4: the world and also saying there's very few people in
10:38
Speaker 4: this world I'd rather beat at golf than Wells Adams.
10:41
Speaker 4: And I know he's going to hate it if he
10:43
Speaker 4: hears this and sees it, and I love that so much.
10:46
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's my big takeaway from the weekend. Joey Dean,
10:50
Speaker 4: Wells and I got the play in our own group
10:53
Speaker 4: one day against each other, and it came down to
10:59
Speaker 4: the last hole, but some mispuss later and I walked
11:01
Speaker 4: away with a one hundred bucks from each.
11:03
Speaker 3: Good job, Thank you.
11:05
Speaker 2: You're the best of all of them.
11:06
Speaker 4: No, I can't say that. I think Wells is better.
11:09
Speaker 4: But for some reason, I think I'm in his head. Yeah, yeah,
11:13
Speaker 4: I think he just shuts down. I think I just
11:15
Speaker 4: stare out to you.
11:16
Speaker 2: You're the Eli Manning to his Tom Brady.
11:18
Speaker 3: Yes I am.
11:19
Speaker 4: He just gets on the course and he wants to
11:21
Speaker 4: one so bad that he acts like he doesn't He
11:24
Speaker 4: acted like he didn't care. Oh, it burns him inside.
11:38
Speaker 2: All right, She'll we get into other headlines.
11:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have some big headlines today, ash and and
11:43
Speaker 4: we will bring those guys on to talk all about it.
11:45
Speaker 4: Uh and I have a lot of good I have
11:47
Speaker 4: a lot of questions for them based on the trip.
11:50
Speaker 4: First headline is this we're getting our first look at
11:53
Speaker 4: Bachelor in Paradise is season tens. They call it chic
11:57
Speaker 4: new Costa Rican digs. I guess I can spoil this
12:02
Speaker 4: because it's not really a spoiler. The weather was really
12:05
Speaker 4: bad down there. It's Costa Rica this time of year,
12:10
Speaker 4: it's rainy season. It's not like it's always bad. It's
12:12
Speaker 4: usually a beautiful place. But I do know it was bad.
12:16
Speaker 4: You can look at that on the weather forecast or
12:18
Speaker 4: you know, maybe talk to somebody who's there.
12:20
Speaker 2: Okay, well that sucks. It's called the Azora Beach Resort
12:24
Speaker 2: in Costa Rica. If you google it, it's a four
12:26
Speaker 2: star hotel. I was told by one of the cast
12:30
Speaker 2: members that it did take a four It was four
12:32
Speaker 2: hours from the airport I drive, so that's rough. But
12:37
Speaker 2: the thing about this season, as we suspected a few
12:40
Speaker 2: weeks ago, there won't be any crabs around and there
12:44
Speaker 2: won't be any excessive sweating because every contestant gets a
12:48
Speaker 2: room with four walls, air conditioning and a private pool.
12:52
Speaker 2: That's nuts they when they write this this is an
12:56
Speaker 2: Entertainment Weekly article, do they truly mean that each person
13:00
Speaker 2: has their own room with their own pool. And when
13:04
Speaker 2: we say pool, like I'm looking at a picture right now,
13:06
Speaker 2: it's kind of like a big pool. But every room
13:08
Speaker 2: has its own entrance way, like a walking entrance way
13:10
Speaker 2: into the pool, which is very nice. I can see there.
13:15
Speaker 2: There's a bonus too, Okay, So I like to see
13:17
Speaker 2: everybody sweat. And I think that, like that survival camping
13:23
Speaker 2: experience that is traditionally a paradise thing, I think that
13:28
Speaker 2: that like brings more drama. It's probably just because of
13:32
Speaker 2: the way that I experienced it, but like I think
13:34
Speaker 2: that's like we must survive, we must survive in love,
13:38
Speaker 2: we must survive in this heat. I just I like
13:43
Speaker 2: that it comes along with like amazing race, survive or
13:46
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it, like that kind of vibe.
13:49
Speaker 2: But this is gonna be more lux I would feel
13:51
Speaker 2: like this is gonna be more of like a love
13:52
Speaker 2: Island situation. I will say I think drama could come
13:59
Speaker 2: from this because because if everybody has their own room,
14:03
Speaker 2: that means there's probably going to be a lot more
14:06
Speaker 2: hookups early on, because I think there's a lack of
14:10
Speaker 2: privacy in Plia Escandida. Everybody knows everybody's business. We're all
14:15
Speaker 2: sharing eight to ten people a room with bunk beds.
14:19
Speaker 2: Some people are even sharing beds. Nothing really has a
14:23
Speaker 2: door with a lock. Everything's made out of straw and
14:27
Speaker 2: you know, plywood. And in this case, they're going to
14:31
Speaker 2: have like resort rooms, and I think that that's going
14:34
Speaker 2: to mean a lot more dirtyness, if you know what
14:37
Speaker 2: I mean.
14:38
Speaker 4: I think the last spot also was good for bonding.
14:42
Speaker 4: It took away that kind of reality television aspect where
14:47
Speaker 4: you're like, I don't really know what your life looks
14:49
Speaker 4: like outside of this, and what is life like when
14:51
Speaker 4: everything's not plush and comfortable. I always appreciated seeing how
14:54
Speaker 4: people handle the bugs in the sweat and the dirt
14:57
Speaker 4: and the downtime. I do do you think this will
15:00
Speaker 4: add a different element? I actually actually will say. My
15:04
Speaker 4: guess is that there are less hookups because the privacy is.
15:10
Speaker 3: Yes more.
15:11
Speaker 4: I don't think people didn't hook up because of privacy, though,
15:15
Speaker 4: I think it's because of the cameras and the cameras
15:17
Speaker 4: still are going to be there. Yeah, And how weird
15:21
Speaker 4: is it to be like, Hey, we're going back to
15:23
Speaker 4: my room and then there's two camera crews following you
15:25
Speaker 4: and it's just like the four of you in your
15:27
Speaker 4: room together. I actually think it would be more common
15:30
Speaker 4: to make out on a sunny love seat with thirty
15:34
Speaker 4: people around that it would be with like you and
15:37
Speaker 4: two camera guys.
15:38
Speaker 2: No, I understand. I'm reading this article further, and they
15:41
Speaker 2: say that each person will have one roommate, but they
15:43
Speaker 2: won't be sleeping in bunk beds and there will be
15:45
Speaker 2: a VIP suite available much similar to the Boom Boom
15:48
Speaker 2: Room for special quote quote occasions, to get a loan,
15:52
Speaker 2: time with a proviential love interests. This room has a
15:58
Speaker 2: real private pool, It's on the top floor with a
16:01
Speaker 2: jacuzzie and a full on kitchen, huge balconies. It is, Yes,
16:07
Speaker 2: they're saying, like the Boom Boom Room, but a lot nicer.
16:10
Speaker 3: I mean it's helpful.
16:12
Speaker 4: It is helpful, and I've always respected like the Jaden
16:14
Speaker 4: Tanner move, where they just pretty much call the Boom
16:17
Speaker 4: Boom Room their own because they're like, I know, we're
16:19
Speaker 4: getting married, we love each other and it's the only
16:21
Speaker 4: place that's air conditioned, and so we're just going to
16:24
Speaker 4: call it our own.
16:25
Speaker 2: But they didn't sleep together for quite some time, sure
16:28
Speaker 2: the room.
16:28
Speaker 4: But yeah, but like it was smart, it was a
16:31
Speaker 4: good move. I've always appreciated it. Next headline is this, Well,
16:35
Speaker 4: I guess we'll close that and say we're looking forward
16:37
Speaker 4: to Paradise. I think it's going to be different, it's
16:40
Speaker 4: going to be interesting. I am excited to watch the changes.
16:44
Speaker 4: I hope the changes are good because I do believe
16:48
Speaker 4: it is one of our biggest chances to see The
16:52
Speaker 4: Bachelor return next year is if Paradise does well this year,
16:55
Speaker 4: So it's there's a lot riding on it.
16:57
Speaker 2: Ben did Wells tell you anything about the accommodations.
17:02
Speaker 4: Not necessarily. We didn't talk too much of honestly about Paradise.
17:05
Speaker 4: It's I usually try not to because you know, it's
17:09
Speaker 4: his job and he has an NDA. But he did
17:11
Speaker 4: say that it rained a lot, that it was really hot,
17:15
Speaker 4: really humid, and that was about I mean, that's all
17:20
Speaker 4: I really do remember. I don't know anything about relationships
17:24
Speaker 4: that went on, people that came or went.
17:28
Speaker 3: He did say there was a lot of twists.
17:30
Speaker 4: It like was different than years before, which I think
17:33
Speaker 4: has already been talked about like that it's going to
17:35
Speaker 4: change it up quite a bit for this year.
17:39
Speaker 3: But no, I did not get a lot.
17:41
Speaker 4: Of like juicy details, okay, and it makes it harder
17:45
Speaker 4: to do this show when I do years past, I've
17:47
Speaker 4: gotten juicy details, and then I'm like lying to everybody
17:49
Speaker 4: the whole time being like.
17:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't really know what happened. I didn't have
17:52
Speaker 3: no clue what happened.
17:53
Speaker 2: I know, I know.
18:05
Speaker 4: Nick Viile looks back on uncomfortable moment with the Valleys
18:09
Speaker 4: Jasmine Good on The Bachelor.
18:12
Speaker 2: This is interesting. So obviously Nick does a lot of
18:17
Speaker 2: recapping of the Bravo shows, the Valley being one of them,
18:19
Speaker 2: and his former cast the former cast member from his season, Jasmine,
18:24
Speaker 2: has been on it. And he said on his podcast
18:27
Speaker 2: that he would love an apology from Jasmine because he's
18:30
Speaker 2: still triggered from the time that she was on his
18:34
Speaker 2: season and she was trying to express anger towards him
18:38
Speaker 2: because she was frustrated by not getting one on one
18:41
Speaker 2: so she put her hand on Nick's throats. I remember
18:44
Speaker 2: the moment. It was bizarre, and she's just like, your
18:49
Speaker 2: behavior makes me want to choke you, and apparently he
18:53
Speaker 2: still wants an apology for it.
18:56
Speaker 4: Good for him for even remembering what people did during
18:58
Speaker 4: his season. Somebody was asking me that this weekend about
19:01
Speaker 4: my time on The Bachelor. I'm like, I don't remember
19:03
Speaker 4: half of it.
19:04
Speaker 2: I couldn't tell you, Like now you've been saying that
19:07
Speaker 2: that's what also Molly was saying or anything.
19:10
Speaker 4: I guess it's just been like so far removed. But
19:15
Speaker 4: I'm sure he could get one. I'm sure she doesn't
19:17
Speaker 4: think twice about it, or if she does, it's one
19:19
Speaker 4: of those moments that she's like, I wish I wouldn't
19:21
Speaker 4: have done that.
19:21
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she probably had. It's one of those moments
19:23
Speaker 2: where she lies in bed at night and then it
19:24
Speaker 2: pops in her head and she's like, oh my god,
19:26
Speaker 2: oh my god, my god, suppressed memories.
19:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, how do I do these things? Hey, we
19:31
Speaker 4: have update on the Clayton Eckered not trial. But we
19:36
Speaker 4: have some updates on the pre trial hearing for Laura Owens,
19:43
Speaker 4: the woman that allegedly lied about pregnancy with the former
19:46
Speaker 4: Bachelor star. Her arraignment is scheduled. Ashley, what do we know?
19:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we do know. We talked about it that
19:53
Speaker 2: earlier this month, Americopa County grand Jury did indict her
19:57
Speaker 2: on several felony charges, including fraudulent schemes, forgery, and perjury.
20:03
Speaker 2: Now there is we're waiting to hear about how she's
20:08
Speaker 2: going to get sentenced. She did enter a not guilty
20:11
Speaker 2: plea in court on Thursday. She wasn't present in the courtroom,
20:15
Speaker 2: but she appeared virtually and the prosecutors are saying that
20:19
Speaker 2: she went to extreme links to manipulate Clayton. We will
20:23
Speaker 2: know more at a pre trial hearing, which is scheduled
20:25
Speaker 2: for July eleventh. The real trial will begin on October
20:31
Speaker 2: twenty third.
20:32
Speaker 4: Teresa Niss's life is updated after her breakup and also
20:37
Speaker 4: we find out if she had paradise fomo oh.
20:41
Speaker 2: She was on a podcast this week and she said
20:45
Speaker 2: that Gary recently called her before going news with the
20:48
Speaker 2: public that he has a new girlfriend, and she said
20:52
Speaker 2: that she wishes the best for him, but that was
20:53
Speaker 2: very polite of him to do, and she said that
20:58
Speaker 2: she has a wonderful relationship of friendship with her runner up, Leslie,
21:02
Speaker 2: and Leslie is on paradise and well, Teresa said that
21:07
Speaker 2: appearing on Paradise wasn't for her. We don't know whether
21:10
Speaker 2: she was asked or not, but she said that it.
21:11
Speaker 3: Wasn't for her.
21:12
Speaker 2: She says she's ready to cheer on her friend as
21:15
Speaker 2: she goes on the beach, and she did say that
21:17
Speaker 2: she has a bit of fomo but is excited to
21:20
Speaker 2: go to the watch party at Leslie's house and watch
21:23
Speaker 2: her journey. So I mean, yeah, we don't know whether
21:26
Speaker 2: she said yes or no, and Teresa totally should have
21:29
Speaker 2: said yes, but I understand that's she's gone through a
21:34
Speaker 2: lot with the show in the best year and a
21:35
Speaker 2: half two years.
21:36
Speaker 4: But when we talked to her last it sounded like
21:38
Speaker 4: she wanted to be back out there in the public.
21:41
Speaker 4: So it's shocking that she would say no. In fact,
21:43
Speaker 4: I would have her, Yeah, it would. It's a big
21:47
Speaker 4: name from that season, maybe the biggest. So kind of
21:50
Speaker 4: interesting that she is now saying she was not there. Actually,
21:55
Speaker 4: Rachel kirconnell is talking about Matt James. She went on
21:59
Speaker 4: a podcast called The Squeeze. Her quote is that she
22:03
Speaker 4: once to remained friends with Matt James. I don't think
22:06
Speaker 4: that's the most interesting part here. I think most exes
22:11
Speaker 4: that end the relationship in some type of healthy way,
22:15
Speaker 4: and it sounds like they did even from her interview
22:19
Speaker 4: interviews right after the breakup, would say publicly they want
22:23
Speaker 4: to remain friends. I mean, what other option do you have?
22:25
Speaker 4: You want to say no, I never want to talk
22:26
Speaker 4: to that person again. But I think the most interesting
22:32
Speaker 4: part is that she's still emotional as she reflects back
22:37
Speaker 4: on her relationship with Matt James, because it feels like
22:41
Speaker 4: there is still this not maybe love poll, but there
22:43
Speaker 4: is this poll towards him and that time together.
22:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Squeeze is Taylor and Taylor Lotner's Taylor's Time Too,
22:52
Speaker 2: Lotner's podcast, and on it, she said, people are going
22:56
Speaker 2: to kill me for this, but I do wish on
22:58
Speaker 2: some level we could be friends because he was my
23:00
Speaker 2: best friend. So it sounds as if they're not actually
23:03
Speaker 2: friends right now, but she would like to be. She said,
23:08
Speaker 2: I'm trying not to cry, and of course he was
23:11
Speaker 2: my best friend for years and we're friends. We were
23:14
Speaker 2: friends before boyfriend and girlfriend in our relationship, not like
23:17
Speaker 2: every relationship is like that. And for me at times,
23:20
Speaker 2: I was like, it really does just seem like we're
23:23
Speaker 2: best friends and again. So many relationships are different, and
23:25
Speaker 2: I love that, but I want all my relationship to
23:28
Speaker 2: feel like the man that I'm dating is actually my
23:31
Speaker 2: best friend. First, she said that there's part of me
23:37
Speaker 2: that will always be rooting for him, and we'll hope
23:39
Speaker 2: that he's doing okay. I would love to maybe some
23:42
Speaker 2: days someday, not anytime soon. Don't worry, guys, but like
23:46
Speaker 2: have a catch up. If we run into each other
23:48
Speaker 2: at event, I would love to be able to sit
23:50
Speaker 2: down have a conversation. I'll laugh a catch up. I
23:53
Speaker 2: don't think either of us will have any bad blood,
23:57
Speaker 2: so maybe when we're ready to be like fully moved on,
24:00
Speaker 2: that's something that we can do. Well.
24:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, one of the breakdowns from her interviews was that
24:05
Speaker 4: he was still calling her. I think he probably sounds
24:07
Speaker 4: like got the hint and stopped calling her, so it
24:10
Speaker 4: doesn't sound like they're speaking very often, which is healthy
24:14
Speaker 4: for a breakup. No matter where and how you break up,
24:17
Speaker 4: I think it's healthy to cut ties for a period
24:19
Speaker 4: of time and allow both people to move on and
24:21
Speaker 4: get their lives back in order. And Rachel's definitely done that.
24:25
Speaker 4: Goodness gracious, she's blown up since the breakup. She's everywhere
24:29
Speaker 4: now speaking to somebody who's everywhere. This person was also
24:33
Speaker 4: in Paradise. Hannah Brown celebrated her bachelorette party in Florida.
24:39
Speaker 2: Hannah posted distant Instagram the house that they stayed at,
24:42
Speaker 2: and she was like, bachelorettes in your thirties are different
24:45
Speaker 2: than bachelorettes in your your twenties. You just like kind
24:49
Speaker 2: of want to sit in a nice house with your girls.
24:53
Speaker 2: And it's not about like going out and partying. It's
24:55
Speaker 2: more about like being in a house and having good
24:57
Speaker 2: conversations and good food. And that's what she did. Her
25:01
Speaker 2: wedding is coming up any well, I feel like in
25:05
Speaker 2: a month or so. And they did like a little
25:08
Speaker 2: fun dress up nights. They did a Hannah era. It
25:12
Speaker 2: was like dress up as your favorite or different Hannah era,
25:16
Speaker 2: you know, like her pageant era, her bachelorette era, her
25:19
Speaker 2: wedding era. And the only other Bachelor Nation friend that
25:23
Speaker 2: was there was Heather Martin, and she dressed up as
25:27
Speaker 2: bachelorette Hannah. She was holding a rose in a red gown.
25:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've been friends for a long time, very close.
25:35
Speaker 4: The final headline is this Jin Tran reveals she's a mom.
25:42
Speaker 2: She says, I've been keeping a secret for you guys
25:44
Speaker 2: for like half an hour. I'm a mom. I'm a mom.
25:47
Speaker 2: And then she pans over and she shows her new
25:49
Speaker 2: adorable kitten. It's a foster cat. She said, she might
25:53
Speaker 2: end up adopting her. I don't know what to name
25:55
Speaker 2: her right now. We'll just kind of see what her
25:57
Speaker 2: personality's like. But right now she's seeming very brave, very smart,
26:01
Speaker 2: and friendly, she said. Usually when I foster kittens, which
26:06
Speaker 2: she's been doing now for a couple of years, the
26:08
Speaker 2: very skendition scared. But I met her half an hour
26:11
Speaker 2: ago and she's already warmed up to me. Very adorable,
26:15
Speaker 2: very very sweet.
26:16
Speaker 3: It's very sweet. Hey, those are the big headlines we
