- 0:00Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
- 0:03Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
- 0:06Speaker 2: It's the almost Famous podcast. We're here today with you
- 0:08Speaker 2: for another Franky Friday, where we break down all the
- 0:11Speaker 2: latest news and headlines going on with our soon to
- 0:15Speaker 2: be bachelorette, Taylor Frankie, Paul Ashley.
- 0:20Speaker 3: Wooooo, all right, we've been teasing these headlines for a while.
- 0:24Speaker 3: We're finally going to run them down. I'm excited to
- 0:28Speaker 3: do that. The girl has been giving us lots of
- 0:32Speaker 3: content because well, maybe it's not her, maybe it's ABC
- 0:36Speaker 3: is not hiding what she is doing out during this season.
- 0:40Speaker 3: We've seen her at a Cowboys game, We've seen her
- 0:43Speaker 3: out in Vegas, and they're allowing it and we are
- 0:47Speaker 3: down for it. We're seeing who she's moochin, who's already
- 0:51Speaker 3: that far in the process.
- 0:53Speaker 2: It's interesting because she is our first lead that I
- 0:58Speaker 2: can remember that ABC is allowed to still have their
- 1:01Speaker 2: camera and access to their socials.
- 1:03Speaker 3: She probably has like a few a day. Yeah.
- 1:07Speaker 2: I read an article where somebody said, well, of course
- 1:10Speaker 2: they have to let her have her socials, it's her job.
- 1:12Speaker 2: To my response being, wait, everybody else has to give
- 1:15Speaker 2: up their job to go on the show. Why doesn't
- 1:18Speaker 2: she Now, I'm glad she has her show.
- 1:19Speaker 3: It's like, thank you, good point. Good point. But Ben,
- 1:22Speaker 3: my guess is that they are taking most ninety five
- 1:28Speaker 3: percent of the footage they're creating combent and then they're
- 1:31Speaker 3: they're posting through her. But I don't think that she's
- 1:35Speaker 3: like on their hands on every day.
- 1:37Speaker 2: No, I would be shocked. I think it's smart for
- 1:41Speaker 2: them to let her have her socials, and I think
- 1:43Speaker 2: it's fine that they do. My point was not that
- 1:46Speaker 2: it's a bad thing that she has her social media.
- 1:48Speaker 2: I'm just saying the argument cannot be of course, it's
- 1:50Speaker 2: her job. It's like, well, it's everybody's job. Everybody has
- 1:53Speaker 2: a job that goes on the show, and we all
- 1:55Speaker 2: leave them to go on the show, and she gets
- 1:57Speaker 2: to keep her social media, which is great because it's
- 2:00Speaker 2: picking up traction for this season that I think is
- 2:02Speaker 2: so necessary, so necessary for the future of the franchise,
- 2:06Speaker 2: and because she's had access to her socials.
- 2:09Speaker 3: We're not gonna.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Spoil anything here, but we're gonna do we do want
- 2:13Speaker 2: to break down. Well, we're not gonna no names, no names,
- 2:19Speaker 2: no names, No nobody wants a spoiler we can play.
- 2:22Speaker 3: The game this year like putting names in there. How
- 2:25Speaker 3: about we just.
- 2:26Speaker 2: Said the last time we did that, it was a
- 2:27Speaker 2: massive fit. Nobody liked it, Okay, all right, nobody wanted spoilers.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Okay, fine, I'll just refer to them like this first
- 2:37Speaker 3: headline one about her kissing a suitor in Vegas.
- 2:40Speaker 2: That is the first headline, Taylor seeing kissing suitor in
- 2:43Speaker 2: Las Vegas.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Okay, he's one of the guys that we picked as
- 2:48Speaker 3: being a front runner. He's very cute and I can
- 2:51Speaker 3: just tell by the body language in these photos that
- 2:54Speaker 3: she really likes him. As predicted.
- 2:57Speaker 2: The next headline comes on November eighth, teenth, Taylor has
- 3:02Speaker 2: an NFL date. Now, if you listen to our Game
- 3:04Speaker 2: of Roses crossover show that we did here on Almost
- 3:08Speaker 2: Fame this podcast, it's very worth listening to. The Game
- 3:11Speaker 2: of Roses has a theory that The Bachelor is very
- 3:16Speaker 2: tied into the NFL, to which Ashley and myself responded with,
- 3:20Speaker 2: of course, yes, the show loves the NFL. Every year
- 3:23Speaker 2: they have an NFL date, they've had an NFL host,
- 3:25Speaker 2: NFL leads. Goodness, gracious, they love the NFL. Well, this
- 3:30Speaker 2: season is no different.
- 3:31Speaker 3: We are used to public dates. For some reason, this
- 3:35Speaker 3: just feels bigger because it was broadcast on television during
- 3:41Speaker 3: the moment, you know what I mean, like peepe or
- 3:46Speaker 3: normally when there's a public date, it's a theater and
- 3:49Speaker 3: people probably sign something when walking into the theater. This
- 3:53Speaker 3: is like an actual public event with like one hundred
- 3:55Speaker 3: thousand people. They're at the Cowboys and or what a
- 4:02Speaker 3: at and t I didn't want to be incorrect in
- 4:05Speaker 3: that called Jerry's world. Jerry's world.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:09Speaker 3: So they are in a suite and the guy is
- 4:13Speaker 3: wearing a Team Taylor jacket and he's got like, oh,
- 4:18Speaker 3: he's holding the football, Taylor is touching his shoulder. We're
- 4:22Speaker 3: just like seeing actual interaction almost as if it's Taylor
- 4:26Speaker 3: Swift in the suite and they're on the JumboTron.
- 4:30Speaker 2: They have not been hidden about this season, which is
- 4:33Speaker 2: kind of shocking to me, Ashley, because you would think
- 4:35Speaker 2: on a season that has a lead that is so
- 4:38Speaker 2: well known, they would actually do their best to go
- 4:41Speaker 2: into the bachelor bubble and not be seen by the
- 4:43Speaker 2: public at all, which used to be the case. But
- 4:45Speaker 2: this season it does feel like they've been out and about,
- 4:49Speaker 2: including a date at Union Square Holiday Market in New
- 4:53Speaker 2: York City. This was shown November thirtieth, which is late
- 4:59Speaker 2: for them to still it'll be filming.
- 5:01Speaker 3: If I'm honest, we knew that was going to happen
- 5:04Speaker 3: because they started so late that they were going to
- 5:06Speaker 3: go through Thanksgiving. But it's super strange to see them
- 5:09Speaker 3: doing like a Christmas theme date. It looks to be
- 5:12Speaker 3: the same guy from the previous NFL date.
- 5:15Speaker 2: Is it weird actually, as you think about it, for
- 5:19Speaker 2: them to be doing a Christmas theme date when this
- 5:21Speaker 2: isn't going to air until March.
- 5:24Speaker 3: So I don't think they care about looking like they're
- 5:28Speaker 3: alive because she's been so posty on Instagram that we
- 5:35Speaker 3: all know when she's filming this thing. We don't need
- 5:38Speaker 3: to hide that this has been in past tense.
- 5:41Speaker 2: What itirs, It's still going to be weird to watch
- 5:44Speaker 2: Christmas in March, but hey, I'm all for it because
- 5:46Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a great season. One
- 6:00Speaker 2: of the entertaining factors and one of the people that
- 6:02Speaker 2: are so excited that Taylor Frankie paul Is our bachelore
- 6:06Speaker 2: is Crocs. Crocs is going to absolutely blow up from
- 6:10Speaker 2: this season. They are going to get the absolute best
- 6:13Speaker 2: advertising from this season of all time because Taylor. Frankie
- 6:17Speaker 2: Paul loves her Crocs headlines this. Taylor's been posting cryptic
- 6:22Speaker 2: feat shots on Instagram, looks like with some of the guys.
- 6:26Speaker 3: I love the fact that she has been posting videos
- 6:30Speaker 3: with some people that we actually know in the background,
- 6:32Speaker 3: Like her producers are in the background of the videos,
- 6:35Speaker 3: and I'm glad that she's friends with them. They're one
- 6:38Speaker 3: of the remaining people or a couple of people that
- 6:40Speaker 3: are there on the show.
- 6:42Speaker 2: Familiar faces.
- 6:43Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's just fun to see a little bit
- 6:46Speaker 3: of the behind the scenes with them. Now onto things
- 6:52Speaker 3: that are about her exes. And I know that it's
- 6:55Speaker 3: rumored that her exes might be making a little appearance
- 6:59Speaker 3: on the show, which I mean that would be a
- 7:01Speaker 3: wasted opportunity if they didn't wrong, Yes, wasted opportunity, definitely.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Brooks Nader addresses Sean White and Dakota Mortensen dating roomors.
- 7:12Speaker 3: Okay, so brooks Natter, you know the model who is
- 7:15Speaker 3: on Dancing with the Stars. She is setting the record
- 7:19Speaker 3: street about our relationship status because she was photographed chatting
- 7:23Speaker 3: with Dakota. Taylor's ex at the show's premiere on November eleventh.
- 7:29Speaker 3: At the Secret Wives and Mormon Wives premiere in New
- 7:32Speaker 3: York on the November eleventh, she said, I love all
- 7:36Speaker 3: the Mormon Wives. I love the show. We're both in
- 7:39Speaker 3: the Hulu gang. She has a show too. I just
- 7:41Speaker 3: met him for the first time and we're just chatting
- 7:45Speaker 3: like normal people, and it got spun out of control,
- 7:47Speaker 3: and there's a rumor that we left together, and I
- 7:49Speaker 3: actually left with my sisters. We went to dinner, so
- 7:53Speaker 3: things just spun out of control. She did say that
- 7:56Speaker 3: he's super cute, but there is nothing more going on
- 8:00Speaker 3: than that.
- 8:02Speaker 2: The final headline is also related to Dakota Mortenson Mormon Wives.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Dakota Mortensen throws major shade at our bachelorette and his
- 8:14Speaker 2: ex Taylor Frankie Paul's bachelorette stint.
- 8:18Speaker 3: Alrighty, so there is this controversial TikTok that Dakota put
- 8:23Speaker 3: out there. It's not controversial. He's being a little conceited
- 8:27Speaker 3: though he's bopping his head. He's just in the overlay
- 8:31Speaker 3: reads when you realize you can date thirty girls without
- 8:34Speaker 3: being on a TV show. Because he's just so wonderful
- 8:39Speaker 3: and the fan reaction is not very good.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Yeah, it kind of It's it's odd to me. I
- 8:48Speaker 2: think this will be an interesting storyline going forward. Maybe
- 8:51Speaker 2: not odd to me, it makes sense to me. It'll
- 8:53Speaker 2: be an interesting thing for us to follow. Is this
- 8:56Speaker 2: dynamic between Taylor, Frankie Paul and her ex who also
- 9:00Speaker 2: has a following, and their desire or their ability to
- 9:06Speaker 2: be so public about their feuds. What will that look
- 9:09Speaker 2: like during the season as it airs, as she dates.
- 9:13Speaker 2: I think it's going to be something to follow and
- 9:16Speaker 2: pay attention to. I hope it doesn't distract, though, from
- 9:20Speaker 2: this season. I know we went into this and I
- 9:22Speaker 2: know we expected messiness, and I just hope it doesn't
- 9:26Speaker 2: distract from what it's happening on our screens and the
- 9:29Speaker 2: relationships that happen on our screens. I want all the
- 9:31Speaker 2: stuff to happen there. I don't need all this other
- 9:33Speaker 2: stuff happening where like we get a bunch of remember
- 9:36Speaker 2: what was it a couple of years ago Jen's X
- 9:38Speaker 2: showed up trying to make a name for himself, and
- 9:40Speaker 2: he like really is in to himself and he now
- 9:42Speaker 2: is like trying to build this like Instagram following from
- 9:45Speaker 2: it that was annoying to me. That was stupid, That
- 9:47Speaker 2: was dumb. I don't want to follow that guy.
- 9:49Speaker 3: Dakota already has this taste of success and fame, a
- 9:53Speaker 3: taste of fame, so I don't think he's going to
- 9:56Speaker 3: like let it die. I see him kind of being
- 10:02Speaker 3: Scott Dissick. Has become very much like a beloved figure.
- 10:06Speaker 3: But for a while, he was the irresponsible guy that
- 10:09Speaker 3: everybody was just like, why is Courtney sticking with him?
- 10:12Speaker 3: And I feel like, in a way, Dakota is going
- 10:15Speaker 3: to be this Scott figure or he's just gonna linger
- 10:19Speaker 3: around for a long time. I mean, she has kids
- 10:21Speaker 3: with him, just like Scott, and I think he's gonna
- 10:24Speaker 3: be very entertaining for us. But I also think fundamentally
- 10:27Speaker 3: or just be like, what's up with this guy? Come on?
- 10:30Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 10:30Speaker 3: And hopefully she just finds someone who's less of a dick.
- 10:34Speaker 3: And am I wrong in saying that he comes across
- 10:36Speaker 3: kind of dickish. I've only watched the first like half
- 10:39Speaker 3: of the first season.
- 10:40Speaker 2: I know nothing about the guy. People love him though.
- 10:43Speaker 3: So people love him, but he's a problem. That's exactly
- 10:46Speaker 3: why I said he was Scott Dissick, because like everybody
- 10:49Speaker 3: loves Scott Dissick, but like we understood that in the
- 10:52Speaker 3: relationship he was kind of a problem. I mean, don't
- 10:54Speaker 3: even get me started with Courtney these days. That's a
- 10:57Speaker 3: whole other topic. So it's interesting. I think people are
- 11:00Speaker 3: they're going to want to see him because people have
- 11:02Speaker 3: complicated feelings short.
- 11:03Speaker 2: Him so much to look forward to. This has been
- 11:06Speaker 2: Frankie Friday. I'm telling you, we're going to do these
- 11:10Speaker 2: leading up to the premiere of Taylor Frankie Paul's Bachelorette
- 11:13Speaker 2: season because I think there's a lot for us to
- 11:17Speaker 2: learn about her and her other show and her life
- 11:23Speaker 2: before the season starts, so that we can kind of
- 11:25Speaker 2: be up to speed with everybody else as it airs.
- 11:29Speaker 2: That's kind of the strategy here to do, Frankie Fridays
- 11:33Speaker 2: is all of us as listeners have to get educated.
- 11:35Speaker 2: We'll do the work in the back end, and we'll
- 11:38Speaker 2: talk about it here on the front end, so that
- 11:40Speaker 2: all of us, as almost famous listeners and watchers of
- 11:45Speaker 2: the show can be prepared for the upcoming season of
- 11:48Speaker 2: The Bachelorette. But until next time, I've been Ben, I've
- 11:51Speaker 2: been Ashley.
- 11:52Speaker 1: See you guys, follow the Ben and Ashley I Almost
