  Speaker 1: am joined by Ben. It's a special headlines only podcast today.

  Speaker 1: A ton of them and a couple of good juicy
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: ones like why, um, Tyler Cameron never became the Bachelor?
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: We have the answer to that. I'm pretty excited about that.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: But first little host chat for you, Ben, how have
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: you been? What's up? It's snowing. It's May. It's May
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: second in Denver, Colorado. Um, it's snowing outside. We got
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: about an inch and a half of snow last evening,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: woke up to that today. It hasn't melted yet. It's
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: actually still snowing as we speak. Okay, so fury here.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I feel like summer now doesn't start mentally until June.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: But like back in the day, I felt like summer
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: kind of started in May. Well because in high school, yeah,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: don't you get out at some point in May? Typically
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: in high school we would get out in mid June.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Did you really get out in May? I don't know,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I can't remember. And then we would go back the
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: after Labor Day. Okay, well I think we had like
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: ten weeks off. Yeah, I don't. I don't know. I
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: just know this time of year, right, you're after spring break. Uh,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: families have kind of taking their trip and you start
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to wind down the school year. And so in my
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: like adult life, I still think of summer on the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: same time like frame as when we got let out
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: of high school. That's why it's college, because you get
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: out of college like your finals week is like this week.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: College is a big mystery to me. Yeah, I don't.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I don't remember a lot of it. Um not even
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: that's not even like a reference to like over consumption.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: It's just like it felt like it flew by. It's
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: like a big blur in my world. Like you, I
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: have way more memories from high school than I do
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of college. Also not because of consumption, but for me,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: it was grad school. I have most vivid memories of
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: grad school, one of my favorite years of life. And
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I cannot believe I'm going on ten years since I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: started grad school. That freaks me out. It also makes
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you really sad that some people that were like very
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: impactful in my life, like I haven't seen in ten years. Yeah,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: if I mean it flies by you an a young
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: pup no more. Ash, You know we ain't kids. Do
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you know how often I talk about not being a
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: young pup by our new assistant Slash babysitter is upstairs
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and she's twenty two, she's graduating mid May, and I
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: sound like such an old fart with her all the time.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Like today, I was doing an Amazon i've and one
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: of those products that I had was these heels, and
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the heels are really cute, square toe, like a thick heel,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and I was like, Maddie, these are like what's in today,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: But wait, do you guys even wear heels anymore? And
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: she's like, yeah, we don't really wear heels, like where heels.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Those are cute, but like for us millennials, that's all
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: we would go out in only go to the bar
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and heels. Like now we're chuggee or something for wearing
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: heels means means I don't know, that means. It's like
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: um a gen Z's way of saying like, oh, that's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: so millennial, that's so old of them, Like apparently blonde
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: hair now is chuge. This is ridiculous. I don't get anymore.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: So like skinny jeans. They think skinny jeans are juggy.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: But guess what, I am down for that. I'm down
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: for that theory because I hate skinnies and I love
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: their wide like nine Days style even for guys. Um,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: you know what, I don't have an opinion on guys jeans. Yeah,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I like my skinny I like my jeans that are
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: like a little tight, you know. I put yeah, put
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: them on. I look at myself in the mirror. I'm like,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: all right, dude, you still have you still got something together?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: You still look Yeah. I think thinner legged jeans probably
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: still look best on guys. And I'm sure that you
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: guys think that skinnies look best on girls like you
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: probably don't want Jess and these baggy asked jeans. She
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: just did it to her date night. Well, she just
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: did to her date night. She looked, she looked great.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: But it was like she like came down the stairs
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and she had like a top on that you know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: was I don't yeah, crop top, and then uh, she
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: had these jeans on that were like really wide legged,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and I did I took it. I was like WHOA.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I was like, I think I asked her. I was
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: like those in style or you just setting a friend
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and no, they're in style. Is like cool and I
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: love them so much. Um, that's awesome. That is that
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that's uh, that's big for you. It's more comfortable to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: love a pair of jeans. I don't know if I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: could ever say that I have. We're going back to
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the old times. I need to get back out my
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: like reebok um or starter like windbreaker jacket that I've
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: held on too. I'm gonna be philosophy. It's gonna be great. Um,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the term philosophy. I don't even know what they think
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: about that. But yes, then you answer your question, we
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: are no longer young pups. How you have a young pups?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: So I bet they look at me and they're like, yeah,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: he's he's like a dad. That's weird. Um, you know,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I'm Maddie. You told me about coogie kogi choogy means
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: because I think somebody has commented on my picture um
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: on Instagram at some point and said that I thought
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it was a compliment. Um, so it's a little upsetting. Hey,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I do know something I did that was cool and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know as cool as a joke, but
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I found out that I'm really up on the trends.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: You hear, this is what. So I took Waylon for
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: a walk in Golden, Colorado, which is closer at home,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and I was walking downtown and we have a belly
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: bag that's full of like treats that we walk around.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Is a belly bag? Is that that the right word?
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Like this thing that you strap around your belly kind
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: of like, uh, it's a bit like is it like
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a Fannie pack thing? Yeah? No, it's a fan I'm
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: sure that that's probably like a Midwest thing. I'm saying
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: it like that. Okay, So I have a Fannie pack
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and I'm walking around downtown and I take a picture
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: because I felt like I was really like being a nerd,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: like I thought if anybody saw me, they'd be like,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: oh my goodness. And so I took a video put
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: on Instagram, and I got a ridiculous amount of comments
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: back being like, no, that's like a cool thing. Now,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: like wearing a fanny pack or like a shoulder bag
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: is really awesome. It's like, well, son of a gun, Yeah,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to put your Fannie pack across your chest now,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I remember Brief Springs did that during Matt's season, and
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I was like, what in the heck is she wearing?
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: And then everybody was like, that's cool. How about you
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: get some fashion sense? And now I see it everywhere. Jeez,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I you know what. I just think that the weirder
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: things or the more nerdy things that I wear, the
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: cooler I'm gonna be. Um. And so that's kind of
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: my new outlook on life. I'm just gonna go I'm
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: either going to go full like Dad mode um like
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: tucking my everything, um wear a bell like always wear
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: like dress shoes or penny loafers, or I'm just gonna
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: try to always stay cool by wearing the stuff that
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: was cool like fifteen years ago. There you go, that's
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: what's that's your best theory, that's your best way of
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: doing it. Now. My sister, she's really annoyed that Jared
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: where was jeans with the rips in them. She says,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that's very outdated and not cool. Outdated. How do you
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: feel about that? Do you wear jeans with rips? I've
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: never done that. I've really hairy legs, and so if
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I where jeans with rips in them, it's it's like
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: disgusting when I sit down for me to look at
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Like if you just see me in shorts, you're like,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: all right, Like that's fine, that's fair, right, he's he's
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: he's got hairy legs. Um, but it's not that weird.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: But then like you have jeans on and there's just
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: like hair sticking out, You're like, all right, I go
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: without that. Um. Yeah, so I've never I've always been
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: insecure about ripped jeans. Do you have a hairy back? No,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I have no hair on my back? And which is
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: you want to hear something that I don't think I've
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: ever admitted publicly. Yeah, I love that. So you know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: in high school, I still remember this time. Um, I
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: was like, um, maturing at a younger age fast through
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the most, so I was like getting hair in places
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: before anybody else was. And it's always awkward, especially like
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: in the middle school locker room when you're trying to
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: cover your body with clothes and be like, no, I'm
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: not more advanced in that way or this is not amal,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: it's like something like that you're ashamed of back man, Well,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I remember this, and like I hope that I'm I'm
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: forgiven I believe I am. I prayed Ashley in middle
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: school that I would not have a hairy back because
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I was just like, that's the one thing. I don't
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: know how how I treat it now nowadays, I'm like, ah,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I think just would be fine, Like I don't have
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: like I don't think it's that big a deal. But
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I just remember being so insecure that my full body
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: was going to be covered in hair. I have a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: buddy out here in Denver. He's married, but he is
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: so hairy, like everywhere. This is like crazy how much?
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: And there's some people in this world that like love it,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: like they find it the like we go to the
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: beach on vacation whatever, people are like, oh my goodness,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: that's the coolest thing ever. And I'm like, well, I didn't,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: you know, I shouldn't have like prayed that maybe maybe
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I could have had a hairy back, and people would
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: have like, you definitely don't want a harry back. You've
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: got you know Nieves Shulman catfish and how his his
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: chest hair like comes up to his like classical right here. Yeah. Yeah,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: My sister used to think that was hot. She wanted
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a couple of days with him. Yeah. See, there you go.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: It's it's a thing. Well, um, right before we go on,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I have to ask, now, currently, what is your biggest
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: insecurity about your body? That's a great isn't your hairy legs? New? No?
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I mean honestly, I'm I don't have a lot anymore
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: because I still try to work out. I'm still trying
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: to stay in shape. Um, you know, I I know
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: exactly what it is. It's my hairline. It's not that bad. Um,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I've told you this many times. It's like it's not bad,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: it's just not great. And so I can't grow my
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: hair out. Um, I've got to do like the little
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: messy part over here because I've got I've got the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: power outes what I what we call him here? Yeah,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: we're like I did not know that that was like
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: what the receipted bit was called. Well, that's what we
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: call out here in dinner. That's what my friend group
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: calls him. It's like, hey, you're you know your power?
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: You have power alleys. So like it gives a little
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to that and I think it's a sign of wisdom.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: But I would love like that straight across hairline that
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds ability to flip it around and you know,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: shake my head and like everything looks good, but I
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: don't have anymore. I don't and I wish I had it.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I do. Would you ever do anything about it? Would
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: you get plugs? Because you would? So then have you
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: looked into it? Yes, yes I have, And are you
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: going to I went to a consultation. They said I
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: wasn't bad enough yet that really, yeah, you kind of
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: got to get to the point where like it's stopped.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: And I've kind of been this way for a while,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: so it could have stopped. I think you've been like
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I think your hair has looked like this for a
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: long time, and I don't think it's gotten any like different. Yeah,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: so I could do it now. I bet if I
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: went back and this is probably this was like maybe
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: four years ago that I went in, and it was
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: probably the same. Back then, I was like, I don't
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: want to be um balding and like I don't want
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: those kinds like I was. I do have a little
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: insecurity about it. So I went in and they're like, yeah,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: you don't want to get them done, and then like
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: you start receding back past that and then you're like
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: a random like bald spot on top of your head.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: So it makes sense and it doesn't at the same time,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: because it's like, all right, but my dad now is
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: like pretty much completely bald and has been for a
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: long time in every area except for like the Homer
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Simpson you know, like it goes like around his ears
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and around the back. Um. But like you think that
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: you need to get ahead of it because at that
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: point it seems like you're too far gone. Yeah, I
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: don't know, that's what they told me. I mean I
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: just was with Joel McHale a couple of weeks ago
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: and he got it done right. I mean you can.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: It's like not a secret. You could look up past
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: picture the same with like Ben Affleck and Tom Brady
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: and stuff, and those are the guys that Jared is like, well,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: of course I had to it because they've done it. Oh.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I mean that you could look up like I've used
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: to do that. Back in the day when I was researching,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I was like, who else has done this? And I
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: googled like hair transplants or whatever, and there's like all Hollywood, Yeah,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: all of Hollywood. Did you. It makes you feel very
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: much a part of the community. I don't know if
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I ever would it will I'm not against it. And
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: if at some point, like I feel like I want to,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I I there's a good chance I would. But yeah,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Joel got it done. If you look up before and
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: after pictures, like, it's pretty incredible, um what it looks like,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and I just like, havn't here. I guess I don't know.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Of course, no shame of that, No one should hide it.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, of course, of course. It's like I think
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I would rock it. I think I would tell everybody bad.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I'd be Yeah, I got some transplants done. I probably
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: try to do an ad like Brian R. Lacker did
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the old linebacker from the Bears. I try to be
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: like spokesperson, do it, get it, get it for free,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: and let's right about yourself. All right, well let's get
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: into headlines. But first we have to take a quick
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: it's time for Bachelor headlines, and yes, Ashley is right,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: we've got some juicy ones for you today. The reason
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that we're doing a whole episode on headlines is because
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: we have some amazing content coming out next few weeks.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be recording a bunch of episodes and so today, um,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: we want to go through headlines because there's a lot
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: of good ones in the next couple of weeks. We
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: won't have the time in the episodes to go through
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: all of them, so let's start with this one. This
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: is one about one of bachel Nation's favorites, obviously, Hannah Brown.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: She says to US Weekly that she used alcohol as
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: a coping mechanism to deal with sudden fame. She says,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: and I quote, I was not in the best place.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: So she said that she had never really been a
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: drinker before, and when she was on TV for basically
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: every once a week, like every Monday, for an entire
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: she didn't know how to handle her life, um so publicly,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: like on display um. She said that she always lived
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: life with a smile on her face, but she tried
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: to pretend like she was always trying to pretend like
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: everything was okay. But when she would go home by herself,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the only thing that was really giving her comfort was
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: a glass of wine. And then she said that soon
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: enough it was two glasses of wine and three glasses
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: of wine and then tequila. She just was not knowing
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: how to deal with all the exposure. She says, I
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: have no excuses for the mistakes that I've made, but
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: also I was just not in the best place in
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: my life and I didn't know what resources I had
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: available to me. She also says that she started drinking
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: at times at around like eleven AM and just would
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: never stop, and she just kept drinking more and more
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: and it was a way for her to avoid the
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: big problems in her life, UM, namely the fact that
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: she picked someone who had a girlfriend Jed and she
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: kind of tried things out with Tyler and Peter and
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: that didn't that didn't really work out. And she said
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: as those things were happening in her personal life or
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: drinking got worse. And she just said that she's glad
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: that now she's gotten the help that she needed, the therapy,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the emotional support that I needed, um from you know,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: mental health experts and from her boyfriend, and alcohol is
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: now not something that she goes to for any type
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: of solace. I I mean, good on her for being
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: honest about this. Uh we you know you get it.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I guess like I understand it. Um. You just it's
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: how many times have we talked about ash like this
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: thing's chaos when you get off of it and then
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: you have all the judgment, all the criticism. You also
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: have that like kind of unspoken desire everybody does because
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: you don't want to waste an opportunity to um stay
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: up and stay relevant and stay in the headlines. And
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: then there's that there's that point in time that we've
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: always talked about here, and it happens in everybody's life
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: when that no longer feels as um one needed to
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: as much of an option, and then three as as
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: maybe like fulfilling as it once did. Stuff happens in life,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and it sounds like Hannah kind of took that step too,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: but yeah, it becomes a very I just think it
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: like for most people, even if you're never on the show,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: like there's that period of time in life where stuff
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: is not going your way, or maybe it's going your
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: way more than you ever thought and it and it
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: kind of like it pushes you in a really hard
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: emotional place. M and not to mention wherever she would
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: go during that year or so, there's probably always alcohol available.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: It's always probably being offered to her, and it's so
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: easy and fun just to be like when people are
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: do you want a glass of champagne? Yeah? You know,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: it's just hard to you know, when you're like living
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: life and you're on that high of you know, gaining
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: fame and stuff, and it's just always there. It's kind
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: of hard to just not like let the good times
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: a role and roll and roll and rolling. Yeah. Um,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I I told Justice the other night. It's like, you know,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: there's a period of my life where I think I
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: was out to dinner, especially when I was going to
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles more with somebody, right, um, six nights a week.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: And then I'd be traveling the country for different things.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: And every time you travel the country, there's usually a
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: friend that you haven't seen in a while that you're like, hey,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I'm traveling for free, I'm at this event. I'm going
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: to take that opportunity to see an old, long lost friend.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: And then that friend is like excited and you're excited,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: and so you go out for drinks and it's like
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: before you know what you look back like for the
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: last thirty days, all I've done is stay up till
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: one in the morning and drink and go out and
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: have big dinners and no matter what, like it just
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: it just doesn't make you feel your best do so well.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: There's another person, ba Nation on our next headline, is
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: not feeling her best. Yeah. Tammy Lee gets emotional explaining
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: videos about being done with and this was her quote.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: She was done. She said she was done with the
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Bachelor franchise. She also quotes and says, I felt and
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I was so alienated. This accoined to US Weekly, So
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: she was on US Weekly is here for the Wrong
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: re the Right Reasons podcast, and this is what she said.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: People think that I had this vendetta against the franchise,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Now I really don't. I'm grateful for the opportunity. I'm
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: grateful to have been part of it. I wouldn't have
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: traded anything in the world for it. But it's frustration.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: It's the frustrations that I was having with a lot
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: of people. UM. Like a lot of people do UM
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: and they just don't vocalize it because they're afraid. I
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: just had it with them, and I'm very vocal and
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: opinionated about it. I'm gonna let viewers know, UM, what's
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: going on instead of saying quiet. I'm not the kind
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: of person who stay as quiet as they clearly know.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: And when I you know, and I just get really upset.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: What I've done it different all over again. Absolutely, I
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: think I should have worked through my emotions and then
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: said something, but I was so hurt and upset at
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: that time. Um. She says on her insto stories back
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: in February that if you're not like the favorite of
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: the audience, it's very clear it's not the audience, not
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: just the audience, but of like the producer. She's saying,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: it's clear and you're treated like this. This is harsh.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: She said, you're treated like secondhand dog crap, and they
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: don't care about you um or your value or your worth.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: So she said she I just wanted to put a
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: foot down and stop being used. So that's what she's
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: kind of explaining. Now. She's just like saying, Okay, when
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: I said that I was, I was fresh shure, I
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: did um, I was not the favorite. I was like
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: kind of like blah. You know. She's the kind of
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: person that just like put it all out there, but
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: like a lot of her castmates probably wouldn't. So she's
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: just saying now that, um, maybe it's the consequences of
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: being like too real and open on this show. And
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I understand that, I know, I totally understand when she's
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: talking about it's like you're the person who has you
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: just feel compelled to say certain things when everybody else
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: is like, it's not worth it. Yeah, it makes that,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: you know, And that's I mean, I don't know if
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: you call a personality type or if you called it
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: like a life decision or whatever. I don't know, Like
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: it didn't feel like a decision for me who just
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: felt like what was natural? And she's like, this is
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: how I am black Well, and and that makes for
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: entertaining television. Yeah, it just doesn't always um for entertainment
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: that's not then scrutinized and criticized. And also, you know,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the it's really good clip art when it comes to
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: what the show shows and the trailers and the teasers.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: So for weeks you lead up to you know, Tammy
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: or you making a comment or saying something that like
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: for weeks, we go, whoa, that seems aggressive and then
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: maybe it was. Maybe it wasn't in the time, but
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: it does. It does get tough because that is then
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the things that are criticized the most. Yeah, so Tammy,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I know that it's not always easy, but if it
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: weren't for people like us, then the show would have
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: no teasers. There you go. Uh well, uh, speaking of
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: emotional um experiences, Clayton Eckerd the Past Bachelor, opens up
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: about Rocky Bachelor journey an emotional post. He says, and
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: I quote, I've learned my lesson this according to people,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: he said, then he eventually hit rock bottom, and this
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: I believe is like, you know, when the show is airing,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: he says in the caption, Susie took this picture of
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: me one day before after the final rows. In this moment,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I was at rock bottom. Okay, yeah, so that makes sense.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: He's talking about his rock bottom. Ben was when we
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: basically interviewed him. That's that. Uh, it was probably like
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: right after our interview. Okay. Well, actually somebody came up
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: to me the other day and said that they loved
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: our interview with him and that we actually asked things
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: that people wanted to know. We weren't easy, whereas there
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: was some other interviews that he did where it was
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: like they were like almost two understanding. Well, I hope,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I mean I hope it didn't cause I mean even
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: after the interviews, I hope we didn't actually make it
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: into rock bottom. No, not at all, not at all well,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: after the interview was done, we got to talk to him,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: and you know, we had questions on how this plays out.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Were like, hey, this too shall pass, and just you know,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: stay moving forward and stay who you are, and I mean,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: you know, I I felt like even afterwards, he was
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: in a tough spot, like he wasn't great. But we
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: got to talk to him and uh, yeah, I hope
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: the head you know, that didn't cause any more pain. Um,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: and I did a little bit to two people that
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: had been there before. Yeah, he's had a horrible couple
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: of days having to do interviews and then when we
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: saw him, you weren't there. But we saw him a
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: week later and he felt much better. But anyway, so
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: he continues to say, I knew what was coming. I
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: realized my reality was much further from what I expected.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: As I looked out the window. In the picture, he's
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: looking at the window. He questioned, who, who? Who am I? Um?
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: What had I become? Where did everything go wrong? Why? Me?
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Six months prior, I was standing outside as the first
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: limo pulled up, kept thinking to myself how lucky I
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: was to be in this position as the bachelor. Six
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: months later, I'm staring out this window, wondering how much
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: worse things could get. But as I reflected back on
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: it all, now, since being out of the spotlight, I've
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: had the ability to see what I couldn't see before.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: I was too busy trying to defend my actions and
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: my character instead of accepting full responsibility for not only
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: what I had done, but all those who I had hurt. Um,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: that's like, I actually love this. I love that this.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: We're getting this from him, he said. Um. He said
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: that people are often concerned with explaining themselves and that
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: prevents them from realizing the explanations sometimes hurt more than
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: the actions themselves. And he indicates that that when they
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: when you, when you say stuff like that, it indicates
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: that their excuses and nothing more than that. And he goes,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: That's where I went wrong. I feel like I finally
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: learned my lesson. I hurt people. Sure, I didn't have
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: any intention in doing so. Um, I thought I was
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: doing what was best by following my heart. But I
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: still hurt people. So there's a lot more to this
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: caption if you guys are interested in going and reading
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: his post. But I actually think that this is really
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: awesome to hear from him it is. And I think
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of it too has to do with how
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: this played out, you know. I mean he's happy, and
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: it's very obvious that he's happy, and so if this
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: would have gone opposite direction, you know, maybe he isn't
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: as thankful for these lessons learned. But now he can
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: look back and be like this maybe was all worth it,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Like even the pain of this could have been worth it. Yeah.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not ideal and it's not fun to
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: go through. Most people that agree to be the lead
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: does go through a season that's not ideal. Uh, But
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: you just hope in the end that it was worth
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: the time spent. And I would look at this from
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: an outsider outsider's perspective, a fan perspective and say, hey, Clayton, like,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: we remember when things weren't awesome with you and Susie.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Maybe that argument wasn't handled the best, but now you're
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: together and those things are kind of a distant memory
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: in my thought, and it's like, I'm just happy to
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: celebrate two of you now. I think that's how most
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: people feel. I don't think many people are probably like
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: just harping on him for a really poor communication that
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: he did without the girl that loves him and that
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: he loves like I you know, I just don't think
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: many people are. I'm sure there are some would there are,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: but we think they're crazy. Yeah, it's like, hey, well
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: they've made it work over it. It's like if they
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: could get over it, you should probably get over it.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: That would be a good way to say it. Well, um,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: onto uh kind of different topics. We'll take a little
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: turn here. Jojo Fletcher and Jordan Rogers um have an
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: idea for a bachelor inspired wedding idea and he is
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: saying that it deserves a rose. Ashley, do you agree
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: that it deserves a rose? It does? And now I'm
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: jealous that we didn't do it at our wedding. Um,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: she was. I think she's kind of joking, but she
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: said that there should be like an I T. M
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Room and in the moment interview room where people can
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: go and just talk to the camera about like how
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: the wedding's going and just like their best wishes and
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: stuff for Jojo and Jordan's. But they would have like
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: a little room set up so that instead of people,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: you know, writing their best wishes in a wedding book
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: that you sign. They'd have a little message room, and
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I think that's so cool. Yeah, that's a great idea.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: I know how amazing would that be to go back
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: and watch that. Yeah, and then you have the wedding
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: like you know, the video from it, and the wedding
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: video is so fun the way it is, I know,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: and then people could go in there like a little
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: tipsy during the cocktail hour the reception and just narrate
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: what's going on and being like, I love you guys black.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it's like a photo booth, but you know,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: video style. I love it so much. You guys should
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: totally do it, Jojo and Jordan. Don't just joke about it.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Definitely do it. She also talked about how the menu
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: for their wedding is going to be Italian inspired that
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: she's blown away during the tasting. Um also kind of
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: jealous that like it's like it, you know, an Italian menu,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: because while our food was absolutely delightful and so so good,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: it was still traditional, you know, like be fish. I
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: would have loved to have like a pasta. Maybe we
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: did have pasta for vegetarian. Well, Ben, you had a
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: whole damn buffet. Yeah, we didn't do a sit down dinner.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: We did like grab and go sandwiches and pasta's and
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: chips and stuff like. We just kind of nobody ever
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: sat down for dinner unless they wanted to sit down
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: on one of the tables. So you know, those little
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: twists and different I would have done it. I would
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: have never done it differently. I loved that we just
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: kind of went right into the party. Uh. It made
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: the night more fun for Jess and I. But yeah,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: um oh. Another thing that they're doing is kind of
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: like what we did. They have a string quartet that
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: will be playing classic, timeless and romantic music. Oh and
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Jordan has an on site cigar roller that will be
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: having solid move love that move, good move by Jordan's
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: sounds good. Guys, have a great time. I know it's
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: coming up. You know they're gonna be Uh, they're gonna
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: have a blast. I know they both have done their
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: bachelor and bachelor parties. Sounds like they're on the home
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: stretch and we wish them the best well. Also wishing
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: the best to Vanessa Grimaldi, who is pregnant. She's expecting
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: baby number one with husband Joshua Wolfe Disaccording to US Weekly,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: she went m I A from Instagram for like eight weeks.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I didn't notice, but then I was like, oh, you
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: have to go m I A because you were sick.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about the woes of pregnancy together. I have
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: not asked her, but you know, there's been lots of
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: congratulations from Bachelor Alam including of course me and Jared
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: were so happy for her. I'm sure Ben that you
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: said something, and he is going to be the best mom.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: You know, she just has like those motherly nurturing vibes.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: So so excited for them. It's, uh, it's really exciting
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: to see this kind of stuff play out, right. You know,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: we've been a part of Vanessa's story since her time
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: on Nick season, and now we see it kind of
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: come full circle with Nick being happy and her being
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: happy and her being married and having a child. So
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: we're wishing them the best as they enter into this
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: season of life. Well, also something that's a really good news.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: If you remember a few years ago we talked about
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: JP Rosenbaum had a illness that was causing him to
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: his body to not function well. It was similar to
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: kind of how a l S would function. You were
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: losing muscle function, You're having cramps and um. Well you know,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: we've then found out that it was Julie Julian Barr syndrome. UM.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: He is now saying he's back to normal, but he
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: says it was a life changing event. This according to
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: US Weekly as well. Was this that far far you know,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: far back, were like recording in the studio in l A.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I remember like hearing this news and we're recording in
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: l A. But maybe I'm wrong. That was a long
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: time ago. Well, anyway, he's saying that was a very
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: traumatic experience. He said, it was life changing. I opening
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: and put things into perspective that life can take a
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: turn just like that. But after a couple of months
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: he went back to normal. Um. The illness causes the
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: immune system to react against the nervous system, which can
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: lead to paralysis and weakness, like Ben said, throughout the body. Uh,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: it can become a chronic condition, he said, but fortunately
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not one of those cases. The odds of me
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: getting it again are the same as me getting it
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: in the first place, so I guess the odds are
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: not necessarily high that he'll be getting it again. He
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: also says that he's been doing. You know, well since
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: it it's crazy. It came on within less than twenty
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: four hours, so it's just like a sudden here and
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: then you know, he recovered from it and hopefully won't
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: be getting it back. Um. He says. It was really,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: really challenging. It took probably about two months to regain mobility.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: That's wild. And you know him and actually are probably
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: having like marriage problems in the midst of all this too. Um.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: He said. It was just a really humbling experience. He's
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: very fortunate to be making a full recovery, and it
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: has a lot to do with the fact that he
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: was diagnosed quickly and treated quickly, um, so that the
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: damage to his nerves were able to heal. He said.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: A lot of people aren't that lucky. Yeah, yeah, Well,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: I'm glad he's back and uh, I'm glad that he's
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: fully functioning and feeling healthy and uh and ready for
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: this next season in life for him because he's got
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: a lot, a lot of new things on his horizon. Well,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: let's take a break here, we come back. We have
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: some huge headlines to talk about. We're gonna talk about, uh,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: the Senior Citizen Bachelor. Uh is it gonna happen or not?
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Who's gonna be hosting it? I wish it was me?
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe it is. I've been wanting that job for a
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, it's not me. Um, but that was
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: a good teaser. I thought it was a good teaser.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: I totally blew it. I'm so sorry. It's okay, Ash, sure,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: you know what if people are tuning in for to
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: find out I'm gonna be hosting that shure or not,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: but I'm still not giving up. Here's okay. I thought
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: that it was done, like because there's been no movement
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: on it. So this is a good teaser in itself.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Is it actually happening? I think somebody asked me the
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: other day, They're like, I need this in my life,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: like it will fulfill me. Yeah, is it actually happening?
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Who could be? Also we'll talk about who could be
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: the lead of that senior show? Also why was Tyler
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Cameron not the Bachelor? And then finally, Stage Coach happened
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: this weekend and it was full of well, um Bachelor
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Nation people, I mean full of it. We're gonna talk
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: about who was there, what was happening? Uh? Right, when
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: we come back from this break on the almost famous
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: podcast m alright, Ashley, we talked about it, We handed
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: at it, the Bachelor who's hosting Paradise? Is Senior Citizens happening?
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: And could Bachelor Pad return this? According to Variety, it
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: was an article written, so let's start here, Ashley, Who's
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: hosting Paradise? That's the question to answer? First? Oh, well,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: we don't know who's hosting Paradise, perfect, We have no clue.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Question was asked to the executives. Has not been announced you? Okay?
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Onto the second question, is the Senior Citizens show happening? Okay?
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: So it says it's been teased for years. Obviously, the
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: pandemic slowed down development, but the Bachelor executives are still
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: hot on the idea. That doesn't sound like there's a
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: lot of movement going on. Still, the Senior Citizens show
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: is definitely going to happen at some point. Robert Mills,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: who's you know, in charge of development at ABC, says
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: some point. The response to that show is so massive
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: that every time we put up a casting call, um,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: it's just like like people are really wanting to apply
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: for it to happen. He says, for us, we really
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: feel a responsibility to find the right person to be
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: the senior Bachelor. So we're looking COVID put a major
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: wrinkle in everything. So now, um, we're back at looking
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: for it. The other question, the big question, Yeah, finally,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: what's the big question? I guess the big question, Well,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: I guess that was actually the biggest question, the bigest questions.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: It's gonna happen. I guess the answer to that is
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: eventually maybe. See, I don't know. I still don't believe
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: them based on that response. Do you believe Robert Mills
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: On the response, it doesn't sound like at the top
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: of the agenda they're putting so much into a Bachelor
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: that I think it's kind of an excuse to say
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: that COVID put a wrinkle into it, because COVID didn't
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: put that much of a wrinkle into the main franchise.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: We had like fifteen Bachelorette seasons. Yeah, but the older
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: demographic is a little bit more at risk for COVID,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: and so I could imagine them staying away from it.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna happen because I think it's such
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: a good idea. Um, again, that's part of my sales pitch.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I think it's such a good idea ABC that that, uh,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: it's gonna go really well. I think it's gonna be
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: really fun to watch, and so, um, I'm glad they're
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: early in development still on it, because that means I'm
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: still holding out hope that maybe I'll get the random
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: call from Los Angeles at ASER and they'll say, hey, Ben,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: you know what, we looked around and there's just nobody
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: else that we want hosting the show other than you,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: And I would say, I'm glad you finally came to
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: your senses, But that doesn't it's going to happen. Well, Ben,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: it certainly doesn't sound like they have locked down the host,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: so I'd say it's you gotta yeah, I gotta there
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: we go, Ash. I like your style, Okay. The only
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: thing is, like Ben, they probably would be like, this
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: guy is way too young to be hosting this show.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: He's twenty something years younger than like the youngest person
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: on it. Yeah. Well, but I uh, I could teach
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: them how not to be choogy, and that would be
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: tight way to make the podcast full circle. Thank you
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: as well. The second question to the Senior Show is
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: could Gabby who is the current bachelorette or co bachelorette.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Could her grandfather be the senior bachelor? That was asked
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: as well to Mills, mm hmm, Well, he says, I
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: would be crazy to say that we didn't notice all
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: the affection and interest in Gabby's grandfathers, so you never know.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: This is Rob Mills continuing to talk about the show.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: He says, everyone wants to see him, see him find love.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Gabby's grandfather really gave the thesis of what the show
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: would be, which is that he found that great love
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: and we saw that he still wears his ring. Um,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: so maybe he wouldn't be ready for something like this.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: And then there's the question of if you have one
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: great love in your lifetime, can you have another. That's
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: really interesting. It's not something that we get to explore
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: on The Bachelor, He's also said. He also says, um
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: finding someone who has never been in love at an
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: older age could be interesting too. If we can find
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: the person and the story that allows us to answer
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: those that's one will do it. Okay. Again, still sounds
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: like it's so far in the future and we can
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: find the person who allows us to explore those storylines.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Every every person that is in their fifties, sixties, shoot,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: even forties have those storylines. Every person, like life brings
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: about story. Some of it's beautiful, some of it's really hard,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: but everybody has Like when you live long enough, you're
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: gonna have stories of triumph and pain and suffering and
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: joy all those things and so like, that's why I
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: think this show is so intriguing, because you get people
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: that are older onto a show where we get to
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: learn about them and hear about their stories. It's gonna
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: have a mixed bag, Like it's gonna be incredible to
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: hear of people who thought they could never love again
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: who are out there finding love. We're gonna hear about
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: the people who have never had love and they're in
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: their fifties, sixties, seventies and they're looking for love, hoping
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: for love. Like how how just incredible would it be
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: to be able to have an up close personal look
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: at these people's story. I mean, it would be so fun.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: I'm fun. And you know, Kebby's Crammit doesn't have to
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: be the lead. I would say, like I don't want
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: to be ages here, But Ben, what do you see
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: the age of the lead being? Because he might be
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: a little old to be the lead of that. I
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: was thinking that this show would be more for somebody
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: who was like fifty five sixty. I mean, that's just
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: my image, what about yours. I was thinking, like, I
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: thought they could do seasons with like wide range. I
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: really did. I thought like, no, I don't think he's
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's too old. I thought it would
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: be like really fun to have people in their eighties. Um,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: you know, trying to figure it out. I did, really,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: I was thinking was gonna be like all fifties and sixties.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: But I guess when you use the term, which is
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: senior citizens, senior citizen is what sixty five and older?
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: I think it's actually now you get your ar cardlet
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: like fifty um yeah, yeah, when you were not that
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: far away. As we get our part soon, which means
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: which means cheaper coffee at McDonald's. Let's go well, Ashley, Uh,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: before we talk about who was at stage Coach this
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: last weekend and what happened at Stagecoach and if we
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: know of any drama that existed at stage Coach, we're
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: gonna talk about Tyler Cameron. He mentions and talks sits
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: down and talks to She's all batch about why he
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: wasn't the Bachelor, discording to Cosmo, Actually, why wasn't Tyler
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: Cameron the Bachelor? Okay, actually Tyler is not the one
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: talking here. It's Michael Johnson. Oh jeez, why is he talking?
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Spoke on his behalf. Well, there you go. I don't
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: know how much Tyler is going to appreciate this, but
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: this is what he said to Cosmo on their podcast.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: He goes, Tyler didn't want it. He was like, I'm good, bra,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: I got more followers than Eddie Bachelor will get. I
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: don't need the money that you give to me to
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: be the Bachelor. I don't want my life to look
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: like that. He go and then Mike says, I don't
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: blame him. He says, they're pros and cons to being
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: the show's lead. You know, you want to find love.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: The negative is everyone and the mama says, are gonna
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: say something about you and and this is this is
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: what this is. He was kind of quoting Tyler there,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: and he goes, he's not wrong. Um, the Bachelor cycle
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: is usually like, you know, like they love you when
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: you become the bachelor coming off of the other season,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: and then they kind of destroy you once you become
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: the lead. Uh So that's that's that Ben. Um. When
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: Tyler was on our podcast when I was on my
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: mini maternity leave, did you ask him this question? Did
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: he have a similar response. I remember asking something along
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: the lines of would you ever be interested in doing
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: something again on the show? I mean, I don't want
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: to speak for him. I don't think that's yeah. I
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: don't I don't think that's I just got this sense that, yeah,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: he's pretty good. I mean, because I think his follow
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: up was, you know, he has his construction company, and um,
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: he has the the like USA E bowls and smoothie plays.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: I think he's like busy and he's kind of settling down.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: And so I mean, I'm sure if the right opportunities
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: presents itself, Tyler Cameron would probably say yes. But I
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: don't know if The Bachelor or the Bachelor franchises those
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: right opportunities. Maybe, I just don't know. It doesn't feel
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: like it fits now. It feels like if he if
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: he did it, um, it would just kind of be
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: a weird twist to his life, kind of on how
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: the progression is gone. But well, um, you know, so
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: it sounds like Tyler Cameron, according to Mike, said not
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: to be in the actually because he just didn't need it.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Well that's fair. Uh, that's good. I'm glad I did
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: it and the only reason Mom on this podcast so
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: helped me out a little bit. Last headline of today
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Stage Coach two. It's been mentioned on well Bachelor in
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Paradise many times UM talked about everything that happens at
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Stage Coach back in the day. Well, their celebrity sightings
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: include several people from The Bachelor Ashley who was it there?
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: I will add in here that my friend Blake Hortsman,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: who is a DJ and has been working really hard
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: on that, did get the opportunity to go to Stage
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: Coach and be a and and have a set this year,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: which is a big deal. Look like it went really
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: really well. Um, But who all attended? And then tell
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: us more about DJ Blake Hortsman's DJ set on Saturday. Well,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: let's just you know, punchline here is Blake returns to
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Stage Coach. Of course time since it is, isn't it? Um?
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: It might be because of COVID and cancelations, but I
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: can't confirm that. I don't know that for sure. Okay, So,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Abigail was there, Amanda Stanton was there with her fiance
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Michael and Kins, her daughter Kins went. So that's cute.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: Um Joe, Joe and Becca were there, Hannah Brown was there. Uh,
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Katie Thurston was there, and so was Um Thomas. Becca's
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: Becca's this boy soon to be fiance as we talked
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: about in headlines last week, was also there. And then
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: what did you ask me about about his set? I
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: mean there's more there too. Alisa's there, Jojo was there,
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Becca was there, Hannah Brown was there. Okay, good, Well,
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: there's a huge group that was there, Amanda standing obviously,
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: like just ridiculous how many people were there but his
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: set on Saturday, I know a lot of people went
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: out not only go to Stage Coach, but you know
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: it gave them a good excuse to go because their
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: friend Blake was djaying at the Honky Tonk. So tell
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: us about it. Okay. So when Blake was djaying, he
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: was wearing a shirt that said we met at Stage Coach. Obviously,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: it was poking fun at the fact that he met
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: multiple ladies from Paradise at Stage Coach before Paradise. It's
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: kind of funny. At least he can laugh at himself.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: His rumored girlfriend Gia from Love Is Blind was also
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: there with a whole bunch of his bachelor friends at
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: the house that they rented. I think they're not like
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: formally out about their relationship because they're supposed to be
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: on an upcoming reality show, so it needs to be
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: a little bit hush hush. Jojo and Becca posted lots
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: of pictures and Instagram reels. They joked a lot about
• 48:53
