Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast
0:03
Speaker 1: with i R Radio. We're back again with another episode
0:07
Speaker 1: of the Almost Famous Podcast. I'm not gonna say for
0:10
Speaker 1: how many weeks in a row because I have no clue,
0:12
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say like nine percent of the time,
0:14
Speaker 1: maybe ninety five percent at the time, I am your
0:18
Speaker 1: co host, Ben with my other co host, Yeah, your
0:24
Speaker 1: other co host me Ashley Ashley, and they are back again.
0:29
Speaker 1: We're We're here very consistently right now. I feel like
0:32
Speaker 1: we're doing a great job at sticking out during COVID.
0:36
Speaker 1: You and I have not like had to have fillins
0:39
Speaker 1: in the longest time, and that's because we're recording remotely.
0:44
Speaker 1: So beforehand, we were always like in the studio and
0:46
Speaker 1: we were doing set days, and there was like sometimes
0:50
Speaker 1: reasons that you couldn't be there on set day. But
0:53
Speaker 1: you know, when you could do it remotely, it would
0:56
Speaker 1: be odd if Ben and I both couldn't find an
0:58
Speaker 1: hour that we were both free a week. It so
1:01
Speaker 1: it's tough not being around you and being able to
1:04
Speaker 1: see your facial expressions and like working off of your
1:07
Speaker 1: energy and studio. But I will say that doing it
1:11
Speaker 1: remote has added like I don't know, maybe consistency. And
1:17
Speaker 1: then also it's just easier not to be traveling so much. Yeah,
1:22
Speaker 1: I mean, you're still traveling, right, but we're doing it
1:26
Speaker 1: pretty safely, and Jared and I are doing lots of
1:29
Speaker 1: little trips. That's my favorite thing about My favorite thing
1:32
Speaker 1: about this time period has been kind of taking advantage
1:38
Speaker 1: of the outdoors around you, right, because we all know
1:41
Speaker 1: the outdoors is the safest place to be these days,
1:45
Speaker 1: and summer has obviously made doing little things outside easy
1:50
Speaker 1: and fun. And I think we're going to start all
1:52
Speaker 1: getting kind of cabin favor again once the temperatures go down.
1:56
Speaker 1: But we've been doing like a nice little fun adventures,
1:59
Speaker 1: especially on the East Coast. It's so easy to do that.
2:01
Speaker 1: Like we went to Block Island and we went to
2:03
Speaker 1: Nantucket and they're just ferry rides over there, and it's
2:07
Speaker 1: just it's cool because, uh, it's an exploration, you know,
2:11
Speaker 1: it's like little it's discovering the magic that is America.
2:15
Speaker 1: I think America is such an underrated beauty. I think
2:18
Speaker 1: we talked about this. I don't know what trip we
2:20
Speaker 1: went on, but I think we wanted a trip and
2:22
Speaker 1: I just realized, like America is so underrated. There are
2:28
Speaker 1: so many cool and stunning spots. Oh, it's it's gorgeous.
2:33
Speaker 1: You remember, we're entering into this season again, just a
2:36
Speaker 1: few months away where puzzles suddenly sold out and people
2:42
Speaker 1: were stuck inside doing puzzles and arts and crafts and
2:46
Speaker 1: finding things to do in the winter. Is it not wild,
2:49
Speaker 1: Ashley to think that we are only a few months
2:52
Speaker 1: away from that happening once again? It's bizarre. It's so weird.
2:57
Speaker 1: It makes me just do you like ever think think
3:00
Speaker 1: about I mean, now we're getting really personal, but do
3:05
Speaker 1: you ever think about selling your Denver place and then
3:08
Speaker 1: moving to Tennessee and like doing your life differently now
3:13
Speaker 1: just because you don't have any idea when things might
3:16
Speaker 1: start getting normal again. Well, I think that's a common
3:19
Speaker 1: question for everybody, and you tie into a great question
3:22
Speaker 1: for this week to all of our listeners. Listeners, how like,
3:26
Speaker 1: what new life decisions are you making that were maybe
3:30
Speaker 1: unexpected a year and a half ago, that are now
3:33
Speaker 1: on the front of your mind. And for me, I'm
3:35
Speaker 1: not considering moving from Denver because Denver is a great
3:39
Speaker 1: place to get outside, and I know it's a place
3:41
Speaker 1: that Jess and I do want to call home for
3:43
Speaker 1: a period of time. But the one thing that Covid
3:46
Speaker 1: has kind of made me think of doing is even
3:51
Speaker 1: like downsizing so that I can be closer to her family,
3:54
Speaker 1: my family and friends uh more often and kind of
3:59
Speaker 1: I can just pick up and go. And I think
4:01
Speaker 1: a lot of people, from what I'm hearing, are leaving
4:03
Speaker 1: these bigger cities right now and moving back home or
4:08
Speaker 1: moving to smaller towns once again, which we never thought
4:11
Speaker 1: would happen. That was a totally unexpected thing because they're
4:15
Speaker 1: finding that the quality of life on these smaller towns
4:20
Speaker 1: is pretty great. It's great for these places. They're calling
4:23
Speaker 1: it like mass exits, you know, like a mass exodus
4:26
Speaker 1: of New York and l A. And it just makes
4:30
Speaker 1: me think, like I feel like I've been wasting so
4:34
Speaker 1: many months of rent right because we were into our place.
4:38
Speaker 1: We love our place in l A. It's such a bargain,
4:41
Speaker 1: It's like a steal, which is why we would never
4:43
Speaker 1: want to get rid of it for you know, the
4:45
Speaker 1: next couple of years. But then I'm also like, if
4:48
Speaker 1: this is going to last, who knows how long, Maybe
4:52
Speaker 1: this is just gonna end up being a huge waste
4:54
Speaker 1: of money, and we could have put that towards buying
4:55
Speaker 1: a house on the East Coast. Anyway, it's it's all
4:59
Speaker 1: questions is to consider and people are asking those questions now.
5:02
Speaker 1: We're in that phase of this pandemic that people now
5:06
Speaker 1: are starting to pick their heads up, look around and
5:09
Speaker 1: go what will life look like? Well, obviously this is
5:13
Speaker 1: a bachelor focused podcast. We are going to be breaking
5:17
Speaker 1: down all of the hot topics going on in Bachelor Nation.
5:20
Speaker 1: I mean, we have headlines ranging from when and where
5:24
Speaker 1: Matt James's season is going to be filmed, to some
5:28
Speaker 1: more details on Claire's season. Exciting things coming up. But
5:32
Speaker 1: before do, let's take our first break. When we come back,
5:34
Speaker 1: we're gonna break down all of the Bachelor headlines in
5:37
Speaker 1: this week. First headline is Claire Crawley's Bachelorette gets premier
5:53
Speaker 1: day as ABC promises, listen to this, Actually we need
5:56
Speaker 1: you to explain this explosive turn of events. So the
6:02
Speaker 1: supposed switchero of Bachelorette would is that that seems like
6:07
Speaker 1: what that's pointing to. ABC did announce on Thursday that
6:11
Speaker 1: the season of the Bachelorette will be premiering two hour
6:15
Speaker 1: episode on Tuesday, oct Don't forget that this season, The
6:20
Speaker 1: Bachelorette will be on on Tuesdays, and Dancing with the Stars,
6:25
Speaker 1: where you can watch Caitlin Bristow will be on Monday nights,
6:28
Speaker 1: so you kind of get your double dose of bachelor there. Uh.
6:31
Speaker 1: They also they don't really say anything else about the season.
6:36
Speaker 1: They actually don't even make mention of Tassia. So it's
6:40
Speaker 1: still up in the air as to when they will
6:42
Speaker 1: officially announce this or if they even will. Perhaps they
6:45
Speaker 1: just think that it will be fun if they never
6:47
Speaker 1: bring it up, if Tassia is not ever seen in
6:50
Speaker 1: any promo, and uh, it just happens when one day
6:55
Speaker 1: while we're watching the show. It's it's all still so
6:59
Speaker 1: up in the air. And honestly, ever since the announcement
7:01
Speaker 1: came out, we know very little. There hasn't been any
7:03
Speaker 1: other rumors or any other details given, which makes it
7:06
Speaker 1: exciting for us as the viewer. So there's still a
7:09
Speaker 1: lot up in the air. But as Ashley just said,
7:11
Speaker 1: the Bachelorette will be airing on Tuesday. Speaking, did you
7:16
Speaker 1: see the poster at the promo poster, I've seen the trailer.
7:21
Speaker 1: I'm assuming the poster is mocked off. Is it the respect? Okay,
7:25
Speaker 1: go look it up. You need to see it because
7:28
Speaker 1: I need to know your analysis on it. It's kind
7:31
Speaker 1: of weird. So Claire is looking very sexy in the
7:35
Speaker 1: corner of a room, pretty seductive. But then in the
7:39
Speaker 1: foreground is a picture of a man putting a sock on,
7:43
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking it's a play on the graduate poster
7:47
Speaker 1: where you know, Dustin Hoffman's in the background, and then
7:50
Speaker 1: she's got the stocking rolled up on her leg in
7:52
Speaker 1: the foreground. But I'm just like, really weird it out,
7:55
Speaker 1: because are they like trying to make it seem like
7:58
Speaker 1: Claire some cougar, like she's an elder to the boys.
8:03
Speaker 1: That would be weird. Um, let me look it up.
8:06
Speaker 1: I'll let you know. But by the time we're done
8:07
Speaker 1: with headlines, I will have it looked up and I'll
8:09
Speaker 1: have my analysis given. Actually we're mentioned in the premier
8:12
Speaker 1: day and the poster, but I said a little bit
8:16
Speaker 1: ago in passing, but did you see the respect trailer
8:19
Speaker 1: that just came out. It's very cute. They have clips
8:21
Speaker 1: of Claire's past where she's demanding respect from for a man,
8:26
Speaker 1: and she you know, she's walking around spinning that rose
8:29
Speaker 1: looking super hot. Doesn't give us any clips or teasers
8:32
Speaker 1: as to what her season is going to be like,
8:35
Speaker 1: but we know that she's going to bring that powerful
8:38
Speaker 1: woman presence, stand up for herself and demand respect, and um,
8:43
Speaker 1: what what's the ward besides respect that she's going to
8:46
Speaker 1: demand of these men? Like maturity? Yeah, I mean, I
8:50
Speaker 1: think I think clear knows what she wants, and I
8:52
Speaker 1: think not only will she want respect, which everybody wants,
8:56
Speaker 1: but she's also going to bring a level of maturity, clarity,
9:00
Speaker 1: and I think honesty that will be important to push
9:03
Speaker 1: everybody forward. And probably I mean I always think that
9:06
Speaker 1: honesty brings out vulnerability, and so I bet we're going
9:09
Speaker 1: to see some vulnerability as well. But speaking of Claire's season,
9:14
Speaker 1: Dale Moss is all smiles. We see him running in
9:18
Speaker 1: New York City following you know, the rumors with him
9:21
Speaker 1: and Claire. So remember how like I think last week
9:25
Speaker 1: we said we thought that the two of them would
9:28
Speaker 1: be confined to the Laquinta resort throughout filming. Should we
9:34
Speaker 1: do a spoiler alert before that? I mean no, because
9:39
Speaker 1: we still don't know where this ends and how it ends.
9:41
Speaker 1: We just know, it's rumored that something happens between him
9:44
Speaker 1: and Okay, so the guy that Claire supposedly you know,
9:49
Speaker 1: falls for was seen out and about New York, so
9:53
Speaker 1: I guess he is no longer confined to Lakinta. We
9:56
Speaker 1: saw Claire at Laquinta last week. We were assuming that
10:00
Speaker 1: you would end up staying there the entire time to
10:02
Speaker 1: keep secrets right, so that she wouldn't be out and
10:06
Speaker 1: about and being it being obvious to the fandom that
10:10
Speaker 1: she is no longer filming. But a very happy man
10:16
Speaker 1: is seeing in this picture smiling. You can check out
10:19
Speaker 1: the photo on Life and Styles website, and there are
10:25
Speaker 1: some other spoilers that we won't go into, but if
10:28
Speaker 1: you are somebody who likes spoilers, go ahead and read
10:31
Speaker 1: that article. He definitely is all smiles. He's running. It
10:34
Speaker 1: looks like he's probably running pretty fast. He's got a
10:36
Speaker 1: good a good stride on him. He looks like he's
10:41
Speaker 1: a happy man. Who knows what the happy man because
10:43
Speaker 1: there's a paparazzi taking a picture of him, or he's
10:46
Speaker 1: just happy because he's running and moving his body and
10:49
Speaker 1: feeling alive. I wish I knew every time a paparazzi
10:53
Speaker 1: took a picture of me, but I asked some really
10:55
Speaker 1: bad ones out there. Um, I wish I looked this
10:58
Speaker 1: good every time a paparazzi was taking a picture. Half
11:01
Speaker 1: the time, I'm in sweats, my hats all messed up,
11:04
Speaker 1: and my hair is undone. I'm frowning just because that's
11:07
Speaker 1: the way I rest. I don't know. It's rough, it's
11:11
Speaker 1: a rough life. He doesn't look that bad. Pretty good,
11:14
Speaker 1: he's shining. Uh. Next headline, this is one that's interesting
11:18
Speaker 1: and and I would say typically happens in breakups. But
11:24
Speaker 1: Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolf unfollow each other on Instagram
11:29
Speaker 1: three months after they're split. Yep, I mean pretty much.
11:34
Speaker 1: The headline says it all. How do you feel about unfollowing?
11:37
Speaker 1: Are you an N follower? Did you unfollow Lauren? Let's
11:40
Speaker 1: be honest, Yeah, yeah, definitely. I mean I think it
11:43
Speaker 1: was like healthy. I did it. We did it pretty
11:45
Speaker 1: much right away, and we had talked about it, like
11:49
Speaker 1: mostly as soon as the breakup happened. We both knew
11:52
Speaker 1: that this was going to be brutally hard, and so
11:55
Speaker 1: I remember us saying, yeah, like, it's not like it's
11:59
Speaker 1: just needs. We just need to cut ties because any like,
12:02
Speaker 1: we're gonna already see a lot of each other. You're
12:04
Speaker 1: already gonna be I'm gonna see your pictures pop up
12:06
Speaker 1: different places. Let's make this easier impossible. Now, it was
12:09
Speaker 1: pretty soon after our breakup. The interesting here is one is,
12:14
Speaker 1: you know, we've we talked about it, Like Colton still
12:16
Speaker 1: has hung out with Greg Sulkin, who is UH dating
12:20
Speaker 1: Cassie's sister, And now we hear that Greg had stopped
12:25
Speaker 1: following Colton as well. Oh that's oh interesting, So maybe
12:29
Speaker 1: it's a total family cut off. They of course had
12:33
Speaker 1: the intention of remaining friends, and I think that's so
12:37
Speaker 1: so often the intention, and then you realize it's just
12:40
Speaker 1: not a good plan, or it's something you tell each
12:44
Speaker 1: other to make yourselves feel better in the moment, and
12:47
Speaker 1: then once it starts to fade, you go, Okay, we
12:50
Speaker 1: didn't actually have to be friends. I don't know many
12:53
Speaker 1: of my buddies who have a breakup that's meaningful that
12:57
Speaker 1: stays like close friends right away? Right I have ex
12:59
Speaker 1: is that I'm friends with Uh and that I admire
13:03
Speaker 1: and want to see the best for. But right away
13:07
Speaker 1: it just isn't like it just doesn't. It's not a
13:10
Speaker 1: clean break. Ever, I don't know anybody's and you know,
13:14
Speaker 1: I can't say ever, I've never known anybody to have
13:16
Speaker 1: a clean break, and so it's not surprising. This isn't
13:19
Speaker 1: a shocking headline, but it does speak to probably where
13:22
Speaker 1: their relationship is at and that they're both moving forward
13:26
Speaker 1: without each other and in each other's lives. Do you think,
13:31
Speaker 1: do you did you creep on X's once you broke
13:36
Speaker 1: up and on follow them? You would still go back
13:38
Speaker 1: and look at the profile. There is just something so
13:42
Speaker 1: strong about clicking on follow Uh. It's it's like a
13:48
Speaker 1: bad addiction, like it pulls you back in over and
13:52
Speaker 1: over again, and you do it like I almost did it.
13:55
Speaker 1: I remember back in the day, like almost to feel
13:57
Speaker 1: the pain, like it was stupid. I would look at
13:59
Speaker 1: it to like hurt absolutely, You're like, I'm not gonna
14:01
Speaker 1: do I'm not gonna do it, Okay, I'm gonna do
14:03
Speaker 1: it really really quick. And then you do it, and
14:05
Speaker 1: then you always find something that hurts you more. And
14:08
Speaker 1: there is I say this all the time, there's some
14:10
Speaker 1: sort of beauty in the pain, and we get addicted
14:13
Speaker 1: to that overwhelming sense of feeling. You know, it's just
14:18
Speaker 1: like we want to feel. We're addicted to feeling deeply,
14:20
Speaker 1: even if it's like feeling bad. Yeah, I wonder what
14:24
Speaker 1: it would be that we're actually looking for. Like if
14:26
Speaker 1: I would click on an excess page and see them
14:29
Speaker 1: looking stunning, that makes me mad because I'm like, wait, WHOA,
14:33
Speaker 1: that's stupid. And then I see him happy, and then
14:36
Speaker 1: I'm like just selfishly mad at them for being happy.
14:39
Speaker 1: And then I see them sad, and I'm sad for
14:40
Speaker 1: them because I don't want him really being that sad.
14:42
Speaker 1: Like there was a no win like some there when
14:46
Speaker 1: I was going back to look at these pages, but
14:47
Speaker 1: I did it, and I did it for some like
14:52
Speaker 1: I wanted to fulfill some hole in my heart. There
14:54
Speaker 1: are some past crushes of mine that I still follow
14:58
Speaker 1: or that i'll check back in with, like to see
15:00
Speaker 1: their profile just because now I'm I'm so happy and
15:04
Speaker 1: settled and I'm just genuinely curious what's going on in
15:08
Speaker 1: their life. But I don't think you can do that
15:11
Speaker 1: soon after. I think this is a years after thing
15:14
Speaker 1: where it becomes just curiosity. I agree. Well, speaking of
15:18
Speaker 1: exes and talking about X is. I just want to
15:22
Speaker 1: give everybody reminder to go back and listen to our
15:24
Speaker 1: in depth episode with Andy Dorfman which aired last week.
15:28
Speaker 1: She is awesome and super open and we had a
15:31
Speaker 1: great conversation with her about all of her exes and
15:34
Speaker 1: her you know, writing about her exes and her time
15:37
Speaker 1: on the show and her time off the show. So
15:39
Speaker 1: just go back listen to that in depth episode. That's
15:41
Speaker 1: one that we've waited for for years and it was
15:44
Speaker 1: uh far exceeded our expectations. Next headline is Rachel Lindsay
15:51
Speaker 1: thinks being bicoastal, we'll test and that's in quotes her
15:56
Speaker 1: relationship with Brian. This according to us, we yeah, so
16:00
Speaker 1: congratulations to Rachel. She's now an officially official regular correspondent
16:05
Speaker 1: on Extra. That is amazing. But this is also going
16:10
Speaker 1: to make her by coastal and that this is when
16:13
Speaker 1: the pandemic cools down a bit more. She says it's
16:17
Speaker 1: going to be a test to her relationship with Brian.
16:19
Speaker 1: She says she's just addicted to working, and Brian doesn't
16:22
Speaker 1: hold that against her at all. He actually loves that
16:24
Speaker 1: she's obsessed with working and he's very supportive of it.
16:28
Speaker 1: She also says that he always tells people that the
16:31
Speaker 1: main thing that he's attracted to about her is her ambition.
16:35
Speaker 1: So there's a great understanding between the two of them.
16:37
Speaker 1: It's not always easy to be long distance or for
16:40
Speaker 1: her to be such a workaholic, but he's very supportive
16:43
Speaker 1: of what she's doing, and she's supportive of what he's doing.
16:47
Speaker 1: But it will be a test still, Um, I mean,
16:50
Speaker 1: you can't get any farther apart than l A and
16:53
Speaker 1: my I mean I would I if I think about this,
16:59
Speaker 1: I don't think it would it. It's easy, easier said
17:02
Speaker 1: than done, though. I feel like I would be fine
17:05
Speaker 1: doing long distance for a period of time, but long
17:10
Speaker 1: term without knowing if there was an endpoint would be hard.
17:13
Speaker 1: Like you're currently doing it right now, but you have
17:16
Speaker 1: an endpoint. You especially had an endpoint before Corona. But
17:21
Speaker 1: I guess with Rachel and Brian he is going to
17:26
Speaker 1: stay firmly in Miami for now, so that is hard.
17:31
Speaker 1: It's challenging. I do think it's a test, but a
17:34
Speaker 1: test cannot always be bad, right, you know? You you
17:37
Speaker 1: get the excitement of seeing each other again, you get
17:39
Speaker 1: the uh kind of the anxious feelings when you know
17:42
Speaker 1: you're on your way to see your partner. That that's
17:44
Speaker 1: all good. And as we speak, you know, they are
17:47
Speaker 1: celebrating uh their anniversary in a Ruba right now, and
17:52
Speaker 1: so all of that is, you know, is pointing to hey,
17:56
Speaker 1: they want to make this work. This is going to
17:58
Speaker 1: be a positive thing for them. They've talked it through
17:59
Speaker 1: a couple. It's just a challenge, and challenges come up
18:03
Speaker 1: in relationship. Speaking of challenges, Victoria Fuller, you might know
18:08
Speaker 1: as Victoria f posts about on Instagram about waiting for
18:13
Speaker 1: him to apologize amid and we're relating this back to
18:17
Speaker 1: the Chris Soul's relationship. This again according to US Weekly.
18:21
Speaker 1: So this was super interesting to me when I saw
18:23
Speaker 1: her Instagram post with this caption, because I said, hmmm, Sassy,
18:28
Speaker 1: is this a subpost? You know, like we used to
18:31
Speaker 1: call it subtweets when the tweet was obviously about somebody.
18:34
Speaker 1: But you're trying to play it off as big well,
18:38
Speaker 1: she says in the caption, when you're sitting there waiting
18:42
Speaker 1: for him to apologize, but he don't know he did
18:45
Speaker 1: something wrong because you didn't tell him, because he should know,
18:50
Speaker 1: so so, um, is she waiting for him to apologize
18:55
Speaker 1: for something that he did but didn't know it was wrong.
18:59
Speaker 1: I mean, what would that have been? Right? Like, there's
19:03
Speaker 1: just so much too that that we don't know. But
19:06
Speaker 1: we hope he knows now that we hope it points it.
19:09
Speaker 1: But again, do we even know this about souls? What
19:12
Speaker 1: would what would this be? Why would she post that,
19:15
Speaker 1: like this picture of her being like very seductive bikini
19:19
Speaker 1: legs spread on a bed, an outdoor bed, and she's saying,
19:26
Speaker 1: you're sitting there waiting for him to apologize. Why why
19:30
Speaker 1: would she post that if it was not about anyone?
19:35
Speaker 1: Was she just thinking that it was a funny caption
19:37
Speaker 1: and that her face looked slightly piste off? Maybe like
19:42
Speaker 1: that could be that's the best case scenario for the
19:44
Speaker 1: two of them right now, that's the best case. My
19:48
Speaker 1: theory is she wouldn't she wouldn't post this if it
19:52
Speaker 1: wasn't if it was something really big, like a really
19:55
Speaker 1: big problem, because they have been so private about their
19:58
Speaker 1: relationship that I don't think now she'd be like, I'm
20:01
Speaker 1: going to call him out on Instagram. I think maybe
20:04
Speaker 1: they had like a funny, little nothing fight and maybe
20:08
Speaker 1: he just needs a reality check. That's a good point.
20:12
Speaker 1: They've been so private about their relationship since the beginning.
20:15
Speaker 1: When we started to hear the rumors of it, we
20:18
Speaker 1: did get a confirmation that they were dating, and so
20:20
Speaker 1: we know that those rumors at some level were true.
20:23
Speaker 1: It would be a It would be a radical move
20:26
Speaker 1: and it wouldn't be it necessarily uh similar to what
20:29
Speaker 1: they've done with their relationship so far, for her to
20:31
Speaker 1: go this far and for the first time really announce
20:34
Speaker 1: her relationship with him and also call him at the
20:36
Speaker 1: same time, So who knows. We don't know. However, this
20:41
Speaker 1: was posted and it brings up the rumors and it's
20:43
Speaker 1: worthy enough for us to talk about now, something that's
20:47
Speaker 1: definitely worthy to talk about, something we're all excited for.
20:50
Speaker 1: Not only are we excited for Claire Slash possibly tatious
20:54
Speaker 1: season of The Bachelor at but we're also very excited
20:56
Speaker 1: for the Bachelor season. And it was announced the filming
21:00
Speaker 1: location for Matt James season. It's now revealed. This according
21:05
Speaker 1: to Reality Steve So. This is according to Reality Steve Uh.
21:11
Speaker 1: He says that the filming will begin late September at
21:16
Speaker 1: the Enemi Colon Woodlands Resort in Pennsylvania. If you guys
21:20
Speaker 1: remember the Pittsburgh date with Joe Joe, the guys stayed
21:25
Speaker 1: here there, they stayed there, uh, and they went to
21:29
Speaker 1: hines Field to do some stuff with the Steelers, which
21:32
Speaker 1: is really cool. But then she went back to the
21:35
Speaker 1: resort to have a take a one on one with
21:37
Speaker 1: Luke or it was a chase er Luke and they
21:41
Speaker 1: went into like this big barrel hot tub that was
21:44
Speaker 1: at NMI Colon. I also think there may have been
21:47
Speaker 1: like some dog sledding at EMMI Colon. Uh. So yeah,
21:52
Speaker 1: if you guys remember that that episode, you'll be seeing
21:55
Speaker 1: a lot more of that resort coming up. This is
21:58
Speaker 1: being speculated because us there. They're saying that the hotel
22:03
Speaker 1: is unavailable for booking as of like late September through
22:08
Speaker 1: early November, and they'll be doing what they did with
22:11
Speaker 1: Claire slash Tastios season and be filming the entire series
22:16
Speaker 1: on one location. At least they'll be good at it.
22:20
Speaker 1: They're gonna be good at I am shocked a little
22:22
Speaker 1: bit here. Actually here's why, because it's not like the
22:26
Speaker 1: weather in Pennsylvania is fantastic that time of year, and
22:30
Speaker 1: in fact it's not great at all. Well, so my
22:32
Speaker 1: thought is, like, are they trying to do a cozy
22:35
Speaker 1: fall scenario, Like are they trying to have like a
22:38
Speaker 1: winter vibes feel, because starting in late September in Pittsburgh,
22:43
Speaker 1: it'll probably be like sixties and below and it'll be
22:47
Speaker 1: a romantic atmosphere, but there definitely will be no bikinis,
22:51
Speaker 1: no pool parties. Uh yeah, which I mean, honestly, I
22:59
Speaker 1: could take or leave that stuff. That that stuff is
23:02
Speaker 1: always a little awkward. It's not exactly like great for
23:05
Speaker 1: a relationship. It always causes dramas. Somebody's always hurt, upset,
23:09
Speaker 1: comparing each other to each other. So like, I'm excited
23:12
Speaker 1: to see a fall Bachelor if that were the case now, Ashley,
23:16
Speaker 1: I haven't had a chance to speak with Matt yet.
23:19
Speaker 1: I am speaking with him this week. I'm excited for
23:21
Speaker 1: it because I hear nothing but great things about him
23:24
Speaker 1: and uh and I'm really excited to kind of dive
23:26
Speaker 1: into where he's at and where his heart's at, uh
23:29
Speaker 1: in this whole process. It's something I try to do
23:32
Speaker 1: with each Bachelor coming up. Um and uh. Yeah. So
23:36
Speaker 1: I I don't have a read on him yet because
23:38
Speaker 1: I don't know him, but I have a feeling that
23:42
Speaker 1: wherever they're at Matt James is gonna be a terrific bachelor.
23:44
Speaker 1: He's gonna care about these women a lot. Godfather of
23:47
Speaker 1: the Bachelor's Ben Higgins always having his advice. It's so
23:55
Speaker 1: nice that you get to know this evil then you
23:56
Speaker 1: can kind of let me in on how they are.
23:58
Speaker 1: And somebody tweeted us email us and I was like,
24:01
Speaker 1: holy moh, that's so crazy. Did you know that? Over
24:04
Speaker 1: a year ago, almost a year and a half ago,
24:07
Speaker 1: when Tyler Cameron was on our podcast doing an in
24:10
Speaker 1: depth we asked him who should the Bachelor bait and
24:13
Speaker 1: he said, my friend Matt James. Well, he made it happen.
24:19
Speaker 1: It's wild and bachel Nations pumped for it. I mean,
24:21
Speaker 1: I can tell you that I know they're gonna be
24:23
Speaker 1: pumped for this guy. They're gonna come out in droves
24:25
Speaker 1: and support him, and so hey, I can't tell you
24:28
Speaker 1: I give great advice. Quite honestly, I can't think of
24:30
Speaker 1: any bachelor that's uh they've done far greater things than
24:34
Speaker 1: I could have ever told them to, or they've failed miserably. Um,
24:38
Speaker 1: But I I always enjoy getting to know him because
24:40
Speaker 1: this is a crazy experience in their world. Is about
24:43
Speaker 1: to change in so many ways, coming up very soon.
24:46
Speaker 1: All right, So I did look up the Bachelor atte poster.
24:50
Speaker 1: You're right, Yeah, this is definitely a play. This is
24:55
Speaker 1: definitely uh makes me curious. I don't know they're saying
25:00
Speaker 1: she's the cougar going after younger men, but it's hard
25:04
Speaker 1: not to kind of jump to that conclusion after seeing this. Yeah,
25:07
Speaker 1: it's such an epic movie poster, and it just seems
25:10
Speaker 1: like an exact replica. I do love the tagline it's
25:14
Speaker 1: about time Claire is looking good. Though good, she looks amazing.
25:20
Speaker 1: There's also there's like a couple of taglines that I'm
25:23
Speaker 1: sure they'll eventually start using, like double the trouble, double
25:28
Speaker 1: the drama twice as something something you know they have
25:31
Speaker 1: to play into that. M m. We'll see. All right. Well,
25:36
Speaker 1: after the next break, we are going to be talking
25:40
Speaker 1: about next season because the Goat episode aired last night,
25:44
Speaker 1: and then we'll be interviewing Alexis, Christina Shulman, and Angela Angela.
25:52
Speaker 1: So good, All right, stay tuned. Well, obviously, uh, Nick
26:06
Speaker 1: season of The Bachelor is airing on the Goat episodes,
26:10
Speaker 1: and we thought it would be awesome to just bring
26:12
Speaker 1: on a plethora of guests and some of the best
26:16
Speaker 1: known and the most loved contestants from his season. Our
26:20
Speaker 1: first Angela was born and from Greenville, South Carolina. We
26:26
Speaker 1: know her, uh for the most part. I would say
26:29
Speaker 1: from Paradise. She I think would agree, uh, and she
26:33
Speaker 1: blew up Paradise like I mean Ashley, Angela hit the
26:37
Speaker 1: scene in Para just everybody was talking about Angela and
26:44
Speaker 1: so yes, I think talking about the Goat episode well
26:47
Speaker 1: is important, but we also know her for so much more. Angela,
26:50
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Almost Famous podcast. Thank you, thanks for
26:53
Speaker 1: having me. Angela. So you were on Nick's um A Patreon.
26:59
Speaker 1: So Nick has this Patreon. He's going to talk to
27:02
Speaker 1: us later in the episode about it. Basically, it's extension
27:05
Speaker 1: of his podcast where he's doing in depth interviews basically
27:09
Speaker 1: with the girls from his season. I anticipation of his
27:14
Speaker 1: good episode airing. So, Angela, when I think of you
27:18
Speaker 1: and Nick season, I think the number one question that
27:21
Speaker 1: you have to ask is what the heck was he
27:24
Speaker 1: thinking letty you and go letting you go on night one?
27:28
Speaker 1: Do you guys address this on the patreon? UM yeah,
27:32
Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't come out and be like, Oh,
27:35
Speaker 1: everybody was not at me for letting you go. But he,
27:38
Speaker 1: you know, we address did he regret sending me home
27:41
Speaker 1: night one? So that was interesting to hear from him,
27:44
Speaker 1: and I'm glad that we got to talk about that
27:46
Speaker 1: because I didn't know, you know, I had heard things,
27:49
Speaker 1: but it was nice to hear it from the actual source.
27:53
Speaker 1: Do you think, I mean, looking back now, do you
27:57
Speaker 1: wish you would have been around longer for the relationship
28:01
Speaker 1: with Nick or for the experience. So I was totally
28:06
Speaker 1: there for both, to be honest, And that's something else
28:10
Speaker 1: that we talked about, is I was That's why I
28:12
Speaker 1: was just myself. I didn't try to like go out
28:14
Speaker 1: of my way to you know, make seeing or cause
28:17
Speaker 1: of ruckets because I wasn't there to be on TV.
28:20
Speaker 1: I was there to see if something could work with him.
28:23
Speaker 1: So I really wanted to see where it could go
28:26
Speaker 1: with him. Um. I loved that he had a big
28:28
Speaker 1: family and he seemed like he was great with his
28:31
Speaker 1: um nieces and nephews, and that's something that I was
28:34
Speaker 1: like looking forward to talking to him about. So, I mean,
28:36
Speaker 1: obviously the experience would have been great. I did give
28:38
Speaker 1: him crap because I missed the Backstreet Boys date that
28:41
Speaker 1: would have been on my bucket lips hellow, I was
28:45
Speaker 1: so mad. So I did give him crap that I
28:46
Speaker 1: didn't get to stick around for that, but I think
28:48
Speaker 1: everything worked out how to shut out. You know what's
28:51
Speaker 1: worse than being eliminated before the Backstreet Boys date? Being
28:54
Speaker 1: in the house, still in the girls coming back and
28:57
Speaker 1: saying we had a Backstreet Boys date that's actually very true.
29:01
Speaker 1: I never even thought about that. I would have been
29:02
Speaker 1: so mad. Oh I want to freak the heck. Oh
29:06
Speaker 1: we all know this. I was totally b I was
29:09
Speaker 1: b over in. I was not. I was definitely That's
29:13
Speaker 1: an argument for an other time. I get too fiery.
29:16
Speaker 1: We can't go there right now, okay, but I do
29:19
Speaker 1: love my Backshire Boys. Okay. So I want to support
29:22
Speaker 1: Nick's Patreon and not like let too much info out
29:26
Speaker 1: here as well where you can, you know, get it
29:30
Speaker 1: for free. But I do want to know why he
29:34
Speaker 1: said that he eliminated. You don want to come on? Good?
29:36
Speaker 1: Come on? So he said there was two reasons. The
29:42
Speaker 1: main reason, I guess, he said is one of the
29:45
Speaker 1: higher up producers. I thought I was boring. He was like,
29:50
Speaker 1: she's gotta go, and the second and we know who
29:53
Speaker 1: it is, and the second that makes sense. But and
29:58
Speaker 1: then the second reason was he was and I just
30:01
Speaker 1: I didn't fight for you. And I told him, I
30:03
Speaker 1: was like, well, I want a man who will fight
30:05
Speaker 1: for me. And he said he didn't fight for me
30:07
Speaker 1: because our conversation was kind of like blah, and he
30:10
Speaker 1: didn't want to send anybody home that night that he
30:13
Speaker 1: hadn't talked to and so he did talk to me
30:16
Speaker 1: for like two minutes and it wasn't like out of
30:17
Speaker 1: this world, and so he was like, all right, whatever. So, yeah,
30:21
Speaker 1: I think it's impossible, absolutely impossible on night one to
30:26
Speaker 1: really have a fair read on anybody's I don't like
30:30
Speaker 1: if they're boring or not boring, because the night is
30:33
Speaker 1: so chaotic and it's so anxiety written and there's so
30:38
Speaker 1: many moving parts that like, I don't think you can
30:42
Speaker 1: make that decision at night, like you have to get
30:45
Speaker 1: to know these women or the men for that example.
30:48
Speaker 1: During Bachelor att Yeah, he said, um, he said like
30:53
Speaker 1: it was kind of just a whirlwind. And I mean, again,
30:56
Speaker 1: I don't want to give away too much on what
30:58
Speaker 1: he said about whether or not he she would have
31:00
Speaker 1: kept me, but I liked the answer that he gave
31:06
Speaker 1: in regards to okay, okay, do you I just find
31:11
Speaker 1: it weird not to like give too much personal detail
31:15
Speaker 1: about Nick, because we all know that he's one of
31:17
Speaker 1: our close friends. But you're like very much his type,
31:21
Speaker 1: so I thought that he'd be keeping you around for
31:23
Speaker 1: physical reasons. For a while. He did tell me, he
31:27
Speaker 1: said that I was like in the top tier of
31:29
Speaker 1: like phys like physical attractiveness. Like Wise, that night, oh,
31:35
Speaker 1: I think producer had a lot of influence, but also
31:39
Speaker 1: he obviously that's not everything, and he said, like he
31:42
Speaker 1: didn't fight for me. So it's a little bit of both.
31:45
Speaker 1: I'm too boring, I think one of the biggest fears. Yeah,
31:50
Speaker 1: I mean I think, honestly, you look back on that
31:52
Speaker 1: time and I remember being asked often throughout the season, Hey,
31:58
Speaker 1: is there anybody you sent home that you regret sending home?
32:01
Speaker 1: And I remember my answer always being I guess I
32:03
Speaker 1: don't know, right, Like I don't know the women, well,
32:07
Speaker 1: I don't for the most part, Like I'm just trying
32:10
Speaker 1: my best to like stay above water here. I am
32:13
Speaker 1: intrigued if if you think, like if you would have
32:18
Speaker 1: been around, do you think there would have been a
32:20
Speaker 1: shot with Nick, Like do you see that relationship for me?
32:24
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean I don't know. Maybe again, like
32:27
Speaker 1: you said, like you don't, I didn't really get a
32:30
Speaker 1: chance to get to know him. I thought there was
32:32
Speaker 1: definite potential there, obviously, or else I wouldn't have agreed
32:37
Speaker 1: to do the show. But I did have a feeling
32:39
Speaker 1: like going in that I was gonna like get sent
32:41
Speaker 1: home night one, or I was going to make it
32:43
Speaker 1: towards the end. I felt like I wasn't really going
32:46
Speaker 1: to fall in between. So I mean, I think that
32:49
Speaker 1: there was definite potential, But looking back, I mean, I
32:55
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. That conversation the first night
32:58
Speaker 1: was so awkward, so I don't know. I think it will.
33:03
Speaker 1: So I think I was a little bit in my
33:04
Speaker 1: head obviously, because so I followed up the conversation with
33:08
Speaker 1: Liz like he was talking to Liz. I'd interrupt them twice.
33:11
Speaker 1: You remember they banged before the season, not like wait
33:25
Speaker 1: a minute and though, and so they I interrupted and
33:30
Speaker 1: he was like, oh, hey, we need a few more minutes.
33:32
Speaker 1: And I didn't know that they knew that they knew
33:34
Speaker 1: each other, and so I had to go back in
33:36
Speaker 1: and I'm like thinking in my head, oh great, they're
33:38
Speaker 1: having an amazing conversation that they don't want to end,
33:41
Speaker 1: and I have to follow that, and then we got
33:44
Speaker 1: like a two minute combo. It was just it wasn't good.
33:48
Speaker 1: He was probably in such a wrong mindset. He well,
33:53
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know if I can say this,
33:55
Speaker 1: but he told me that like he wanted to talk
33:57
Speaker 1: to anybody except her at that moment. So you can
34:00
Speaker 1: say whatever you want. Now, that's why this podcast exists. Um,
34:04
Speaker 1: I have I have a theory about you. I have
34:07
Speaker 1: a theory that you are not boring at all. In fact,
34:12
Speaker 1: I have a theory that you are very feisty. And
34:16
Speaker 1: this is why Angela. I've seen you in person a
34:19
Speaker 1: couple of times. You're obviously beautiful, and you've been on
34:22
Speaker 1: the podcast, and you're a great conversationalist. But my fiance
34:27
Speaker 1: and I were down in Mexico for a wedding at
34:30
Speaker 1: one point, Um, and you walk down the aisle as
34:35
Speaker 1: fierce as I've ever seen anybody before. I mean it
34:39
Speaker 1: was a tangible fierceness. You are strutting your stuff and
34:43
Speaker 1: ingest my fiance, who who doesn't watch a lot of
34:46
Speaker 1: the show who I was trying to keep up with
34:48
Speaker 1: on like updating on who was who. She looks at
34:51
Speaker 1: me as you're walking down the aisle and goes, holy cow,
34:55
Speaker 1: like it was it was there was something about you
34:59
Speaker 1: in that walk that was representing a lot more than
35:03
Speaker 1: just the strap on the aisle, Angela, Am I wrong?
35:05
Speaker 1: Am I right? Everyone talks about the walk. I swear
35:12
Speaker 1: to like, all right, first off, I blacked out, like
35:15
Speaker 1: you know, so I've blacked out, But I honestly like
35:22
Speaker 1: I did it. I swear like on everything. I didn't
35:25
Speaker 1: go into it thinking like I'm gonna like work this
35:28
Speaker 1: like I didn't. I really didn't, like, yeah, that's what
35:33
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm a model, and so like I just
35:35
Speaker 1: go I see a straight like lie like a runaway
35:38
Speaker 1: you know what you mean? And it's just I was
35:41
Speaker 1: in it. I don't know. I really didn't like intentionally
35:44
Speaker 1: be like if you walk, you know what I mean.
35:47
Speaker 1: I wasn't my intention, but it's my job. I don't
35:51
Speaker 1: know if I went into autopilot, Angela. It was one
35:54
Speaker 1: of the most fantastic, dramatic extra moments I've ever witness
35:58
Speaker 1: in my life. I was like schouhealing, and Jared like
36:01
Speaker 1: had to calm me down. He was like, actually, don't
36:04
Speaker 1: be obnoxious as is somebody's wedding anyway that you like,
36:10
Speaker 1: maybe I'm not boring after all. I don't think I'm boring,
36:12
Speaker 1: but that producer thought I was boring, all right, But
36:15
Speaker 1: the sass that you put across was all about Clay Harbor,
36:21
Speaker 1: who was your boyfriend for a while during an off season.
36:24
Speaker 1: You guys actually never really dated on Bachelor in Paradise,
36:27
Speaker 1: but you dated between your two seasons of Bachelor in
36:29
Speaker 1: Paradise and you he recently started dating a girl from
36:35
Speaker 1: ninety Day Fiance and they were having dates air on
36:40
Speaker 1: on TV because they hadn't met yet because of quarantine.
36:45
Speaker 1: What's going on there? Are you following his story? And
36:48
Speaker 1: how does it make you feel? No, I'm not following
36:52
Speaker 1: his story, and it honestly makes me feel enough. I've been.
36:57
Speaker 1: I've been so over that whole thing since I got
37:01
Speaker 1: on the beach like last Paradise. Like I said this before,
37:06
Speaker 1: but literally the moment that I knew that he stepped
37:09
Speaker 1: onto the beach in Paradise, like whenever I found that out,
37:13
Speaker 1: everything inside of me for him, just like went dead,
37:17
Speaker 1: Like I don't have any ill will towards him. I
37:19
Speaker 1: hope he's happy, and like I hope he has a
37:21
Speaker 1: great life, but there is zero part of me that whatever,
37:27
Speaker 1: like I never miss him or like miss us or
37:31
Speaker 1: anything like. I hope he's happy, but I don't really
37:35
Speaker 1: care to follow his story. I'm sure he doesn't care
37:38
Speaker 1: to follow mine either. He definitely didn't like love his
37:43
Speaker 1: relationship with Nicole. As for what we saw air on Paradise,
37:48
Speaker 1: do do you Nicole have any sort of friendship now? Um?
37:52
Speaker 1: I want to say we have a friendship, but I
37:54
Speaker 1: mean she did apologize to me for you know, her actions,
37:57
Speaker 1: and I appreciated that, and she said, you know, she
38:00
Speaker 1: has judged me and and everything, and we um, we
38:03
Speaker 1: actually did talk at um the reunion show for Paradise
38:09
Speaker 1: last summer. They didn't show it. They filmed it, but
38:11
Speaker 1: they never showed it. And she was, you know, just
38:14
Speaker 1: like I should have listened to you. You were right,
38:16
Speaker 1: I'm really sorry, And I was like, all good. You know,
38:20
Speaker 1: I'm not a person to hold grudges. Obviously hurt, you know,
38:23
Speaker 1: watching it back because I didn't know everyone was saying
38:25
Speaker 1: all of that. But I mean, no, her and I
38:27
Speaker 1: are fine. We're on good terms. We don't talk or anything.
38:30
Speaker 1: But um, there's no ill will there Angela before we
38:35
Speaker 1: let you go? H Is there anything that's going on
38:38
Speaker 1: in your life? I mean, obviously right now, I feel
38:40
Speaker 1: like life's like molasses for a lot of us. There's
38:42
Speaker 1: just a very slow moving process. But is there anything
38:46
Speaker 1: going on in your life that our listeners would be
38:48
Speaker 1: intrigued by? Or if there's not, then how are you
38:51
Speaker 1: keeping yourself busy doing during the pandemic? Um? I am.
38:57
Speaker 1: You know, modeling is kind of really slow. It's been
39:00
Speaker 1: slow since the pandemic. Um, you know, because we can't
39:04
Speaker 1: get like close and do shoots and stuff like that.
39:07
Speaker 1: But um, I do have a YouTube channel that I've
39:09
Speaker 1: had for a year. Uh. The year anniversary is just
39:12
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, and I really like to do that.
39:15
Speaker 1: I haven't been doing it as much obviously, UM, but
39:18
Speaker 1: I am passionate about that. I love that. And then
39:21
Speaker 1: I've been at home with my family in Maryland for
39:24
Speaker 1: the last month. UM, just spending time here, taking care
39:27
Speaker 1: of some things here. Um. But yeah, I mean life
39:31
Speaker 1: is is pretty slow. I've just been trying to do
39:33
Speaker 1: as much as I can and work on my YouTube
39:36
Speaker 1: channel and hang out with my family because I never
39:38
Speaker 1: get this much time with them. So it's been good.
39:41
Speaker 1: It's a good family time. Yeah, yeah, I know. And
39:44
Speaker 1: it's by the way, actually, happy anniversary. That's exciting that
39:49
Speaker 1: I saw that one year. It flew by a mind boggle.
39:53
Speaker 1: Don't understand how that happened. It felt like five months tops.
39:59
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, well good. I'm so happy for you guys
40:01
Speaker 1: and all these pictures. Hey, Angela, you're the best. Thanks
40:06
Speaker 1: for coming on. Just to let you know, if Ashley

40:10
Speaker 1: of you on night one. Just let you know that. Okay, Well,

Speaker 1: week five. She came back for season four Paradise and
41:06
Speaker 1: that was the show season, and she was eliminated there
41:10
Speaker 1: in week two. But she's not a boyfriend ever since
41:14
Speaker 1: and is in a wonderful, loving relationship. Alexis Waters Welcome
41:18
Speaker 1: too Famous podcast. Hello, Hello weirdly, Um, me and my
41:24
Speaker 1: boyfriend just broke up. So this is breaking news. I
41:28
Speaker 1: think you're kidding. I'm just kidding today, okay, because I
41:35
Speaker 1: was like, I feel strangely about you too. I don't know.
41:40
Speaker 1: He just uh like he he couldn't fill out like
41:44
Speaker 1: the unemployment thing, and I'm like, Tyler, it is really
41:47
Speaker 1: four questions, like you cannot, like I have things to do,
41:51
Speaker 1: like he cannot. He's not tech savvy at all, so
41:54
Speaker 1: he doesn't even know how to like trun on the TV. Like,
41:56
Speaker 1: this is what I have to deal with. This is
41:58
Speaker 1: that you just made my heart sink. That was so
42:05
Speaker 1: question for you though, So let's just start with your boyfriend.
42:07
Speaker 1: Talk on the questionnaire that we had you feel out,
42:10
Speaker 1: you said a fun fact is the most embarrassing moment
42:12
Speaker 1: is uh, your your ex telling you that you had
42:17
Speaker 1: a mustache at a Giant's game. So is your current
42:21
Speaker 1: boyfriend now in more trouble than your X was? Then No,
42:27
Speaker 1: the X will forever be an asshole. I just want
42:32
Speaker 1: everybody to know that that statement is the most Jersey statement,
42:37
Speaker 1: and it resonates with my soul so hard. Having a
42:40
Speaker 1: mustache at a Giant's game like that is me. And
42:46
Speaker 1: there's something about the lighting at MetLife that will like
42:49
Speaker 1: show your every flaw at a one o'clock game, Yes,
42:53
Speaker 1: it was so hot out and like I had a
42:56
Speaker 1: full blown like I just felt like the sun was
42:59
Speaker 1: shining one and he calls me out like right before
43:04
Speaker 1: the game. So then I was like like so insecure
43:07
Speaker 1: and just thinking about my mustache the entire game. I
43:10
Speaker 1: couldn't even enjoy it. And I was the stadium met
43:14
Speaker 1: like it's like five minutes away from my house, so
43:17
Speaker 1: I was legit taking my friends to bring me like
43:19
Speaker 1: a tweezer or a razor just so I can uh
43:23
Speaker 1: feel better about like all his friends with them too,
43:26
Speaker 1: So I'm like they all probably are staring at my mustache.
43:28
Speaker 1: It was just like a really bad day. So let's
43:32
Speaker 1: let's just for everybody, Like here's one thing you learn
43:38
Speaker 1: as you grow up, Right, it's not uncommon. It's actually
43:43
Speaker 1: like a very very common thing. If not everybody, every
43:48
Speaker 1: woman has like upper lip hair, and so like if
43:52
Speaker 1: you if you call somebody out for that, like it's shocking.
43:55
Speaker 1: You obviously have not dated nor have you been around
43:58
Speaker 1: somebody long enough to see like this is not shocking.
44:02
Speaker 1: This just happens, right, Yeah, no, But then Tyler, then
44:06
Speaker 1: I started getting lazered on my mustache and I started
44:11
Speaker 1: getting melasma. So so I was in Mikinosa Tyler and
44:17
Speaker 1: I'm not even lying. He was like, it looks like
44:19
Speaker 1: you have a five o'clock shadow, and I was like,
44:22
Speaker 1: I can't catch a great girl, like it wasn't Greece
44:26
Speaker 1: that my malasma mustache was also at its peak, and
44:30
Speaker 1: I was like, I have more of a shadow there
44:33
Speaker 1: than Jared does, and he's been growing his beard for
44:35
Speaker 1: a week. I don't think Tyler can grow facial hair
44:40
Speaker 1: only other Conjared, I can go. I can grow more
44:44
Speaker 1: facial hair than than was anybody else. Hey, well, Alexai,
44:49
Speaker 1: I love this conversation because my fiance is in the
44:53
Speaker 1: skincare now, congratulations, thank you, and she like, I don't
44:58
Speaker 1: I don't know if the right word like struggles with
45:00
Speaker 1: asma or has melasma, and so like I hear about
45:03
Speaker 1: melasma very often somehow, someway I'm getting educated on it. Yeah, no,
45:09
Speaker 1: it's it's I got it from laser, so I don't
45:12
Speaker 1: lazer my face anymore. And then when you're in the sun,
45:14
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to be in the sun, but like I,
45:17
Speaker 1: sunscreen doesn't even help it. It's just like being around
45:21
Speaker 1: the sun and heat makes it worse. And I think
45:24
Speaker 1: it's like something that millennial girls are are making, are
45:28
Speaker 1: having more than any other generation because I've never I've
45:32
Speaker 1: never heard of this term or more girls complaining about
45:38
Speaker 1: it than I have in the past year or two. No,
45:41
Speaker 1: I had a full blown, like five o'clock shadow and
45:44
Speaker 1: beard like I was, and like the sun was shining.
45:49
Speaker 1: I was just like, I'm just gonna deal with this.
45:51
Speaker 1: Musta I just own it now. Yeah, Well, here's the thing,
45:54
Speaker 1: as I am to summarize all of this, Ladies, you
45:58
Speaker 1: aren't alone, You're you're frickly fine. Find a guy that
46:02
Speaker 1: will just own it with you. And Alexis, we could
46:06
Speaker 1: talk about you in your life, I think probably for
46:09
Speaker 1: the whole podcast, but we do have to transition over
46:13
Speaker 1: to as Ashley was saying earlier, like the Goat episode
46:16
Speaker 1: Nick Vile season is airing, Um, what do you think
46:20
Speaker 1: about it coming back on? And is your boyfriend gonna
46:22
Speaker 1: watch it with you? Yeah, like, um, what does he?
46:26
Speaker 1: What is your boyfriend think about this season re airing?
46:30
Speaker 1: I would say that your boyfriend shouldn't have a problem
46:32
Speaker 1: because I don't even know if you and Nick ever kissed. No, yeah,
46:35
Speaker 1: we did kiss once, and it was just because I,
46:38
Speaker 1: um was on a track and field date and I'm
46:40
Speaker 1: like really athletic and I and I threw the shot
46:45
Speaker 1: put and they had like whoever through the through the
46:47
Speaker 1: shop put for this had to kiss him and I
46:50
Speaker 1: didn't kiss him yet, and I was like somebody further
46:53
Speaker 1: than me, like someone further than me because I was
46:56
Speaker 1: so nervous. My heart was like literally beating inside of
46:59
Speaker 1: my vaginant enough and like I won, so but it
47:03
Speaker 1: was like the whole situation was just I think it
47:06
Speaker 1: was like day two whatever, and I won the shop
47:09
Speaker 1: but I had to run up and kiss him and
47:11
Speaker 1: make out with him, and I was it was like
47:14
Speaker 1: like the whole production crew like five um Olympic athletes
47:18
Speaker 1: and I'm just like so nervous, but it was actually
47:21
Speaker 1: a really good makeout and like my Vagina dance, I
47:23
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I might be into him, and then
47:25
Speaker 1: I wasn't Okay, so when did you realize that you
47:29
Speaker 1: weren't into him? Um? Uh, well the first time. I
47:35
Speaker 1: don't remember, so that one doesn't count. You mean the
47:38
Speaker 1: night that you were in the Dolphins suit you have
47:40
Speaker 1: no recollection of Yeah, shocking right, Um don't remember that night.
47:45
Speaker 1: So no, we just had more of a friendship vibe.
47:48
Speaker 1: Like I like he was he was like fun to
47:51
Speaker 1: make out with, obviously just because he was the only
47:53
Speaker 1: guy there. He's only piece of meat there. But other
47:57
Speaker 1: than that, I just feel like we had more of
47:59
Speaker 1: a friendship up than anything. But when when did you
48:04
Speaker 1: decide it was just a friendship? Um? The Well, I
48:10
Speaker 1: kissed the only time my vagina dance was the track
48:12
Speaker 1: of Hill d And I made out with him like
48:14
Speaker 1: every time whatever because I don't want to talk. And
48:17
Speaker 1: then he just made these jokes and I was just
48:23
Speaker 1: like he was just like somebody's jelly and it just
48:28
Speaker 1: like I don't know, it like was like not creeps
48:32
Speaker 1: me out. And then he said another joke and I
48:35
Speaker 1: was just like, oh, who's like, who's ready to turn up?
48:39
Speaker 1: And I was like not me, not me. I can't
48:42
Speaker 1: imagine Nick ever saying that off. Now he goes who's
48:46
Speaker 1: ready to turn up like and did like a knob
48:49
Speaker 1: twitch and I was just like, no, I'm not I'm
48:51
Speaker 1: not doing turning up like that. I'm turning out. I'm
48:55
Speaker 1: going home turning out. And then he was like, Alexa's
48:58
Speaker 1: don't be jelly like jealous, and I was like, oh
49:01
Speaker 1: my god. No. It seemed like as he was so
49:04
Speaker 1: much older than a lot of you that like he
49:06
Speaker 1: really wanted to full on dad mode. Yeah, he was
49:09
Speaker 1: thirty six. I went on the show when I was
49:11
Speaker 1: twenty three, so you're twenty three, but I was, but
49:16
Speaker 1: I was. I mean, I have four older sisters, so
49:20
Speaker 1: I kind of matured faster than normal. I feel like,
49:25
Speaker 1: I mean not really, I should have in a dolphin
49:29
Speaker 1: shark costume that when I got blacked out wasted, So
49:33
Speaker 1: I'm really mature. I was so mature. But now I
49:39
Speaker 1: really liked Nick as the Bachelor though, But Tyler could
49:42
Speaker 1: care less. He just um, we just did an interview
49:47
Speaker 1: with Chris Harrison and Tyler got cut. Oh you got why?
49:52
Speaker 1: What's what? Why is he not a talkative man? Uh?
49:57
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know why he but I was.
50:01
Speaker 1: I feel so bad because his danny and like his
50:03
Speaker 1: whole family is like, when is how we're gonna be on?
50:05
Speaker 1: And like I bounced out that he didn't make the
50:08
Speaker 1: guy Oh brutal, I'm like loser, but he was like,
50:14
Speaker 1: I mean I think I was just too much to
50:16
Speaker 1: handle that they couldn't bring him on because I was
50:20
Speaker 1: talking about your vagina dancing to Yes, I did, Yeah
50:28
Speaker 1: that was and I did the dolphin call again. Was
50:32
Speaker 1: so nervous to talk to Chris. I don't know why
50:34
Speaker 1: I took like five to KILLO shots before the interview.
50:37
Speaker 1: So I don't I kind of like blacked out. You
50:39
Speaker 1: would think that, like you would like learn from past
50:41
Speaker 1: experiences that that's probably not the way to go, probably
50:45
Speaker 1: have the answer to making this work. Um, So the
50:48
Speaker 1: summary is you don't think Tyler is going to watch
50:50
Speaker 1: this and he really like doesn't show a lot of
50:53
Speaker 1: interest in that in that experience. Oh no, I mean
50:58
Speaker 1: he's supported. I mean I wouldn't have my business that
51:00
Speaker 1: I had. I wouldn't have met Nation Nation. Sorry I
51:05
Speaker 1: get real exit, um, but I wouldn't have met him
51:09
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for going on the show. So yes
51:12
Speaker 1: to appreciate it because I met its calm BERSO didn't
51:17
Speaker 1: dump Nick file. Then I wouldn't have gone on and
51:20
Speaker 1: met Rachel, who introduced me to Tyler. I'm telling you
51:25
Speaker 1: so many couples have found there forever through the ties
51:34
Speaker 1: that the bachelor gave them. Very very cool. Before we
51:37
Speaker 1: let you go, I do want to talk about the
51:39
Speaker 1: producer that somehow influenced you to wear the dolphins suit.
51:42
Speaker 1: Did you have a beautiful gown picked out that night
51:45
Speaker 1: and then you were like, yeah, screw it, bring me
51:49
Speaker 1: the suit. No. So I was actually stoned when I
51:55
Speaker 1: put my job title as aspiring dolphin trainer, and I
51:58
Speaker 1: thought it was hilarious at the time you were stoned
52:01
Speaker 1: in so I thought that you filled out that survey
52:04
Speaker 1: or at least I did when I was quarantined, Yes,
52:07
Speaker 1: a quarantine before COVID at the hotel that we stay
52:12
Speaker 1: in for casting weekend. Was that where you fill this out?
52:16
Speaker 1: Where did you bring some weed? No? No, no, I
52:21
Speaker 1: spilled it out after I went to a casting in
52:24
Speaker 1: Port latter Dale and they handed me an envelope and
52:26
Speaker 1: then I had been that in so I know I
52:29
Speaker 1: always want like that was my dream job when I
52:31
Speaker 1: was younger, a dolphin trainer, So like I was just
52:35
Speaker 1: really high, and I just put aspiring dolphin trainer. So
52:37
Speaker 1: when we were going about like the night, well the
52:41
Speaker 1: first night, I had a red dress and everybody's wearing
52:43
Speaker 1: a red dress. Thank god, thank god I didn't. But
52:47
Speaker 1: I'm like weird and I don't care what people think,
52:49
Speaker 1: and I kind of wanted to do something. Uh. I
52:54
Speaker 1: just wanted to like like the life of the party
52:56
Speaker 1: and be like what's that bitches? And I was like,
53:00
Speaker 1: the dolphins suit was out of stock, so we just
53:02
Speaker 1: had to roll with the shark. And I was like,
53:03
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just keep saying it's a dolphin until people
53:06
Speaker 1: start believing me. You did a great job. You were
53:08

Speaker 1: expect it to be, if anything, but entertaining. Hey, we'll
54:43
Speaker 1: talk to you soon. Thank you, guys. By Alright, So
54:48
Speaker 1: from a girl who made Nick laugh to a girl
54:51
Speaker 1: that made Nick cry a lot, Christina is coming up next. Next.
55:06
Speaker 1: Guest from the Bachelor season with Nick is Christina Shulman.
55:12
Speaker 1: She obviously was a contestant eliminated in week seven, but
55:16
Speaker 1: that's not the last time we saw her. She also
55:18
Speaker 1: returned for the fourth fourth season of Bachelor in Paradise,
55:23
Speaker 1: which was one of the biggest storylines compared to season.
55:27
Speaker 1: She's with us today on the Almost from This podcast, Christina, Welcome,
55:32
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me you guys. Hey, Christina, where the
55:36
Speaker 1: world have you been during during the past couple of months.
55:39
Speaker 1: I feel like you're you're You're been a wanderer a
55:44
Speaker 1: little bit, I would say, Um, I mean, I kept
55:47
Speaker 1: it to myself when it was needed to just staying
55:49
Speaker 1: at home. But I did make a couple of trips,
55:52
Speaker 1: like I did go that was fun and needed when
55:56
Speaker 1: quarantine was kind of like lifted and travel borders open.
55:59
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I was just doing my thing.
56:03
Speaker 1: Well what a bit. I feel like everybody thinks of
56:06
Speaker 1: you with Dean, nobody thinks of you with Nick. Is
56:13
Speaker 1: this weird to have Nick season? Yes? Yes, so yes
56:18
Speaker 1: it is. I was thinking about that and I was like,
56:20
Speaker 1: it's just strange putting yourself back into the kind of
56:24
Speaker 1: like four years ago and think that that was even
56:27
Speaker 1: a relationship or a potential one. So um but yeah,
56:31
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like I had more of a
56:34
Speaker 1: relationship maybe with Deans than I did with Nick. So
56:37
Speaker 1: I can understand why viewers would see that the you
56:40
Speaker 1: know we we obviously have gotten to know you throughout
56:42
Speaker 1: the past couple of years. And I remember the Christina
56:46
Speaker 1: on Nick season who really you were vulnerable? You shared
56:52
Speaker 1: your story impacted millions. How is life changed? Obviously a
56:59
Speaker 1: couple of seasons Paradise are thrown in there, but how
57:01
Speaker 1: is life changed since you know, this season of The Bachelor?
57:07
Speaker 1: I would say, in the most wonderful, wonderful way possible.
57:11
Speaker 1: I just think it naturally opens up many doors and
57:14
Speaker 1: it depends like which one you take. But for me,
57:16
Speaker 1: I always had this drive to do more, and um,
57:21
Speaker 1: I wanted to like I wanted to move to California
57:23
Speaker 1: at some point, and I didn't know I was going
57:25
Speaker 1: to be able to do that. Um, but I don't know.
57:30
Speaker 1: It's just sharing this story and touching so many lives
57:33
Speaker 1: was I didn't understand the impact it was going to have.
57:37
Speaker 1: After the messages I started receiving, I was like, Wow,
57:39
Speaker 1: this is this is bigger than me. So Um, I'm
57:44
Speaker 1: glad I was able to do that inspiring that way.
57:46
Speaker 1: You talked to Nick very openly about your adoption and
57:50
Speaker 1: just how horrible life was in the orphanage in Russia
57:55
Speaker 1: before you came over to America when you were twelve. Right.
57:59
Speaker 1: Did you talk to Nick on his patreon um episode
58:02
Speaker 1: with you about just how emotional he got over one
58:07
Speaker 1: you telling the story and too when he had to
58:09
Speaker 1: let you go. I don't think we necessarily touch the
58:15
Speaker 1: dive too deep into the story whenever we had the
58:18
Speaker 1: one on one day, but it was difficult for him
58:21
Speaker 1: to let me go, and I think, uh, maybe he
58:24
Speaker 1: was thinking more into like what other people would think,
58:27
Speaker 1: like oh, like the scroll or a goal from the
58:29
Speaker 1: orphanage in engleipstick and whatnot. But I mean, it was
58:33
Speaker 1: the process needed to happen the way it did, and
58:35
Speaker 1: I understand why people need to go home at some point.
58:38
Speaker 1: And I didn't want any like people feeling sorry for
58:40
Speaker 1: me or not like just because of my story and
58:42
Speaker 1: the way it is. It's just part of me. Um.
58:45
Speaker 1: But yeah, we did uncover a little bit of some
58:50
Speaker 1: really close friends since next season. Who is it that
58:54
Speaker 1: you hang out with the most now and and what
58:56
Speaker 1: do those friendships represent you? Good question, Um, I'd say
59:02
Speaker 1: to hang out with Witney friends when more so, she
59:05
Speaker 1: lives a little like two blocks from me, so I
59:07
Speaker 1: can walk over to her place. It's just a given. Um,
59:10
Speaker 1: definitely richel anytime she comes to all it's really nice
59:12
Speaker 1: to catch up. Every time I talked to Alexis, I
59:15
Speaker 1: talked to ask her here and there. It's just we
59:18
Speaker 1: kind of keep up quite a bit with each other,
59:20
Speaker 1: which is fun. Alexis, I'm just like supporting her hoops
59:23
Speaker 1: all the time. Well on right now, I don't, but
59:28
Speaker 1: she will tell you, like her biggest supporter. They're really adorable,
59:32
Speaker 1: They're really good hoops and yeah, you can't have enough
59:35
Speaker 1: hoops are just a go to. Well, Christina, We've obviously
59:38
Speaker 1: been able to follow your story, the ends and the
59:40
Speaker 1: outs and the ups and the downs, and we look
59:42
Speaker 1: forward to many more memories. Uh. We're excited to watch
59:45
Speaker 1: this GOT episode because of the familiar faces like yourself.
59:49
Speaker 1: Thank you for coming on the podcast, Thanks for sharing
59:51
Speaker 1: some time with us. And then obviously Nick who we're
59:53
Speaker 1: gonna talk to you in just a second on his Patreon. Christina,
59:57
Speaker 1: thank you, Thanks for having me. Guys, It's always nice
1:00:10
Speaker 1: to catch up with former Bachelor cast Bachelor Nation peeps.
1:00:14
Speaker 1: They seem to be doing well. They're obviously all thriving.
1:00:17
Speaker 1: Nick season did have some characters that stood out. You know,
1:00:20
Speaker 1: we think of one of our favorites current now obviously
1:00:23
Speaker 1: uh almost famous favorite is Taylor Nolan. Both of them
1:00:27
Speaker 1: were on this show. It's good to see it back
1:00:30
Speaker 1: on television again where we first met him. Yeah, it's
1:00:33
Speaker 1: fun because now I know Taylor is not, i'll be honest,
1:00:41
Speaker 1: as annoying as I thought she was on the show.
1:00:43
Speaker 1: I think she's fantastic in real life, right, But I
1:00:45
Speaker 1: thought on the show I was like, oh, this girl
1:00:48
Speaker 1: and her emotional intelligence and thinking that she's so much
1:00:51
Speaker 1: smarter and like above all these women, right in all
1:00:55
Speaker 1: these situations. And now I meet her in real life
1:00:58
Speaker 1: and she's nothing like that. And then meet current in
1:01:00
Speaker 1: real life and you realize that she has a lot
1:01:02
Speaker 1: more character, she's a lot more serious, uh, and she
1:01:08
Speaker 1: has a bigger heart I think than it came across
1:01:10
Speaker 1: on TV. They're incredible. I mean, let's go down the
1:01:14
Speaker 1: list for a second. Not only do you get three
1:01:16
Speaker 1: women that we were able to talk to Christina, Alexis,
1:01:19
Speaker 1: and Angela. But then you have to pull out some
1:01:21
Speaker 1: of the names that maybe you forgot or even on
1:01:23
Speaker 1: this season because they've done far crazier things again Krinn
1:01:27
Speaker 1: and Taylor. You also have Rachel, Lindsay, you have Raven,
1:01:33
Speaker 1: You obviously have Vanessa when we go on the list here,
1:01:38
Speaker 1: there are just some incredible humans that went on this
1:01:40
Speaker 1: show this season. Actually, one of the things I want
1:01:43
Speaker 1: to bring up to you about this season was a
1:01:45
Speaker 1: specific date. And we haven't really done this in a
1:01:47
Speaker 1: breakdown before, but this date stands out to me because
1:01:50
Speaker 1: of how awkward it was. It's it's the wedding date
1:01:53
Speaker 1: where all the women dressed up in wedding dresses. Was
1:01:57
Speaker 1: that not? I mean, it's just reminding myself of that.
1:02:01
Speaker 1: Was that not one of the wildest group dates that
1:02:03
Speaker 1: you can imagine that was? I don't I wouldn't like it,
1:02:07
Speaker 1: I don't think, because I'd be like, I only want
1:02:10
Speaker 1: to wear a wedding dress the day I get married
1:02:12
Speaker 1: and or you know, the day that I'm trying on
1:02:14
Speaker 1: wedding dresses to be with the guy that I know
1:02:17
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be with, not when there's still twenty other
1:02:20
Speaker 1: women in the running. Don't they say it's like bad
1:02:23
Speaker 1: luck to try on a wedding dress unless you actually
1:02:25
Speaker 1: have like a rig on your finger. I'm pretty sure
1:02:27
Speaker 1: that's that's a phrase out there. So that was super award.
1:02:31
Speaker 1: You know, it was also awkward about this season that
1:02:34
Speaker 1: just stood out, and even before I watched the recap um,
1:02:39
Speaker 1: remember how Raven talked about how she like hadn't experience
1:02:44
Speaker 1: certain things sexually, and then they made it seem like
1:02:50
Speaker 1: she experienced that in the Fantasy Suite. Yeah, with the monologue,
1:02:54
Speaker 1: they like did the like like monolgue with her like skipping. Yes,
1:02:58
Speaker 1: so it looks like they pretended it was a fairy
1:03:00
Speaker 1: tale or like that scene in Five Days of Summer
1:03:04
Speaker 1: where he's like doing the Hall of Notes dance. Yeah,
1:03:07
Speaker 1: so that was awkward, especially now that we know that
1:03:11
Speaker 1: they didn't even have sex with the Fantasy Suite. Nick
1:03:13
Speaker 1: has been very open that he only slept with Vanessa
1:03:18
Speaker 1: well the So again, there's another name that comes up
1:03:23
Speaker 1: from this season, and you know, Raven Uh is somebody
1:03:27
Speaker 1: that I'm a fan of, but I can't even remember
1:03:30
Speaker 1: her on the show because I can only picture her
1:03:32
Speaker 1: with Adam and I forgot that she got second, like
1:03:36
Speaker 1: that she was literally in the running with Nick. I
1:03:39
Speaker 1: honestly just totally space out of my mind. It was
1:03:43
Speaker 1: Vanessa Nick in my head, and then the rest of
1:03:45
Speaker 1: these women went on to do other stuff. I completely
1:03:49
Speaker 1: forgot that Raven was to runner up. Yeah, I think
1:03:52
Speaker 1: it was. I think of Rachel and Vanessa being sort
1:03:55
Speaker 1: of at the end, because I do think that Raven
1:03:57
Speaker 1: and Adam are right cemented in my head together. But
1:04:01
Speaker 1: I do think that he's kept up a relationship a
1:04:04
Speaker 1: friendship with Rachel that I associate Nick and Rachel together
1:04:08
Speaker 1: and Vanessa. I mean I associate Nick and Rachel and
1:04:12
Speaker 1: then Vanessa and and Nick. But summarize all of this,
1:04:18
Speaker 1: there were some incredible people in this season. This was
1:04:20
Speaker 1: a great season. Nick was a great lead. Uh, you know,
1:04:24
Speaker 1: this is kind of what I would call, uh. Nick
1:04:28
Speaker 1: you know, was a villain of sorts in some way
1:04:31
Speaker 1: or another. Uh. During Andy season, came back through Caitlin
1:04:35
Speaker 1: season onto Paradise, and people were starting starting to ask, wait,
1:04:39
Speaker 1: who is this Nick? I actually like him, and now
1:04:42
Speaker 1: he becomes the Bachelor, And it felt like for the
1:04:44
Speaker 1: most part, people really enjoyed watching Nick as the Bachelor,
1:04:49
Speaker 1: because one I think he was real to himself, and
1:04:53
Speaker 1: two I think his cast of women were standouts. I mean,
1:04:57
Speaker 1: I think there was a cast of women that really
1:04:59
Speaker 1: made this season greet and it actually, in so many
1:05:04
Speaker 1: ways became the Karine Show. Or it seemed like Karin
1:05:08
Speaker 1: was the lead for at least six weeks, because it
1:05:10
Speaker 1: was like every single week she was the person everyone
1:05:14
Speaker 1: was talking about. She was the first kind of quote
1:05:18
Speaker 1: villain that like, well, you couldn't help but also enjoy watching.
1:05:23
Speaker 1: You're like, man, I can't stand this girl, but at
1:05:26
Speaker 1: the same time, she's so outrageous. I have to keep
1:05:29
Speaker 1: watching her. You didn't you you didn't even love to
1:05:33
Speaker 1: hate her, you just kind of loved her. Yeah, and
1:05:36
Speaker 1: now you just love Karine. She's been awesome to this podcast,
1:05:40
Speaker 1: so we appreciate her. Well. It's another week of the
1:05:43
