  Speaker 5: different sodas well.

  Speaker 2: Technically, I don't know that my pass it's like a
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: soda and it has a whole bunch of different syrups
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: and basically topics on it.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: It's like a soda Sunday.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah kind of. I think what you guys are kind
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: of missing The integral part is like it's usually like cream,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: So it's like a flavored coffee cream. Typically that's added
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: along with flavorings and sometimes things like limes.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Guys, I don't know how you deal with the sugar
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: of that, Like how do you put like coffee, like
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: a coffee creamer into a full regular coke.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Not to be a spoiler, but we will be trying
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: some dirty sodas on this. We will be giving our
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: actual opinion on what these taste like.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: I'm sure they're amazing.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: I'm not a big sugar person. I don't eat a
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: lot of sugar in my life, and when I do,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: it typically does not go well for me. So let's
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: let's do.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: It nip test. You don't have to drink and consume
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: the entire thing.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: And the problem is I like it.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: So what Reality Stars claimed on a podcast that Taylor
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: was hooking up with Dakota right before filming The Bachelorette.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: This one, I'll give you a clue because one of
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: them is mentioned in today's headlines.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Hakeem did it on our show Almost Famous.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: One of them is mentioned, and he outwardly said that
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: they were hooking up. I can't recall, but okay, maybe.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: I think there was an innuendo. There is an innuendo
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: of them having a relationship during our time. We asked
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: him and he wouldn't say yes or no, but his
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: eyes were telling a different story.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Okay, I think it's Harry Choucey.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Correct, it is Harry Jousy and Marciano from vander pump Villa.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: Great show.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Seen it many times, ma'am a celebrity who has publicly
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: talked about being a tailor fan or excited about watching
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: this season.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Okay, hold on, give me something, Give me a moment,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Give me a moment.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Think about people that have been outwardly Bachelor Nation.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Jennifer Aniston.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: No, she's not really out and proud anymore, I don't think.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: But good one from the past, for sure.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Amanda Cypherd.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: No, but you're on the right track because she did
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: just make headlines for saying Bachelor in Paradise is her
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: favorite show. That's probably why you think that.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: And doesn't she run the company that Jessica and I
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: love called Make It Cute. It's the Cardboard Kids Houses.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: I don't know this either.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: Wait, that's a great company. Uh we got one for
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: Winnie and they've been nice enough to donate one to
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: uh carr the local kids like home here in uh
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: in Denver.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: I have the answer.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: It's that is yes, Ashley, It's me lacuna Is. I
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: would also have accepted Jennifer Lawrence. She has also publicly
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: stated that she's a big secret Lives and Mormon Wives, Taylor,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Frankie Paul.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: Fans Amanda Seafried was the one I was thinking of.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what she said too. She did just say
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: this week she's the hugest fan of Bachelor in Paradise.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: That might be. Oh, she's kind of resonating.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: I've met Amanda. She is so nice.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I met her in a Harry Styles concert and I
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: actually tapped her on the shoulder and I said hi,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: because I knew that she was a Bachelor of Paradise fan.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: So Make It Cute is great. If anybody's out there check.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: It out, to check that out.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Love it guys. Well, that's all my quiz questions for this,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Frankie Friday. I think both of you are on on
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: a good track. I think both of you had some
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: solid answers on that one.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: Heather, here's how we should look at this. I've never
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: been a good test taker, and some would call men.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Say I'm not ever fit a good reality TV watter.
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: Well, that's part of the stick here in the show.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: That is true, and that's why we have you. I
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: would say, here's the victory that I'm going to take
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: from that quiz. If you would have asked me those
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: questions before we started doing Frankie Fridays, I would have
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: had no idea who anything was or anybody was. I
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: would have had no answers. And at least I was
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: familiar with the topics being discussed. And I think some
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: of our listeners will feel the same way. So Frankie
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Friday is working for me.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: As well.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: Okay, it is time for Frankie Friday. The day of
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: the week that we celebrate our upcoming bachelorette, the bachelorette
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: that will bring in the ratings that will get people
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: talking and have people watching. Well, the Bachelorette season is
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: coming up. It doesn't mean that Taylor is not out
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: there in a out So let's start breaking down the
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: headlines from this last week, Taylor played in the NBA
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: All Star Game. Ashley, we saw some videos of her
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: shooting and preparing for the game. Tell us how she
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: did well.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Her team didn't win. Her team, which is Team Anthony,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: fell to Team Giannis.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Do you know NBA?
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, who's Giannis? Who's Anthony? Team Anthony and Team Giannis.
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: Giannis Antokompo is one of the most dominant players in
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: the NBA currently. I'm guessing Team Anthony was Carmelo Anthony's team.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: So I thought, but why would Carmelo Anthony be playing.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: He hasn't played for a long time.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: Uh, he's a big star. Let me look it up
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: to see who the captains for the NBA Celebrity All Star.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Wait, is that Carmelo Anthony's son, because I think he's
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: in the NBA.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: Now, No, it's not his son. You're crazy. You're crazy.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: So Team Anthony Anderson. Actually, wow, I was way off.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: Anthony Anderson was the got called up to be the coach.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: We all know Anthony Anderson. I feel like Giannis kind
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: of had the upper hand because he plays by Anthony Anderson.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: You know, he can ball a little bit.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Too, like Anthony Anderson the actor. Yeah, okay, interesting. So
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: we had celebrity versus like NBA player as the heads.
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: Yes, and then they they had their teams obviously below them.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: Neither of them played in the game. That would be
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: very unfair. However, they did have Ashley Taco Fall playing
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: in this game, which is very interesting. He's a former
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: NBA player and he's still playing professionally overseas. Taco Fall
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: played in this game, and I've always loved Taco Fall.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: I actually thought he would have a fairly successful NBA career,
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: and he kind of did for the Boston Celtics. Here's
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: the crazy part. He's seven foot six and he played
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: this game against Taylor Frankie Ball.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: That must have been the man in her Instagram reel
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: because I was like, this man is truly double her size,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: because I was like, Taylor's tiny, Like she might be
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: like five two or something, but she's this man was
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: legit double her size. That's crazy.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's seven six three hundred plus pounds, so he's
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: not like seven to six and like skinny skinny him.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: He's a professional athlete, so he's in shape, but like
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: he's a big dude and U and they put him
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: in this game, which I'm still confused by. It felt
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: like unfair honestly.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, because this man just touched the like he
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: just touched like the rim. Does that hit his head?
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: Well, he has an eight foot wingspan, so at seven
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: six he could stand flat footed and dunk of basketball.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Damn that is so is that crazy?
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Well, Taylor actually said that this was one of the
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: most nerve wracking situations she's ever been in. She said
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: it makes the top five, even though it was just
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: for fun. She said, you're micd this is live, no redos.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: So that's interesting that if all the things she did,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: this is like one of the most nerve racking I
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: would have thought, like I would have gone on too,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: it be like this is just gonna be a stort, silly.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's hard when you're competitive. And what we've learned
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: about Taylor so far as I think she is very competitive,
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: and it's like that. I mean, for me, it's those
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: golf events I've never been more nervous. I can be
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: in front of a crowd of five thousand and dancing
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: and being a terrible dancer at that and be fine.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: You put a golf club in my hand and you
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: have people watching. It is a whole new ballgame. Our
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: producers are asking, would you do a celeb game mic?
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: One hundred percent. So during a lot of these golf tournaments,
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: they'll put a mic on us and it's it's great,
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: you have to watch. I mean, golf is a little
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: different because I get very frustrated. I say some pretty
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: crude things.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: That's basically what she was saying. Like your's like, you
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: don't know what you're going to say. You're probably cursing
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: up a storm.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: The good, the good. The benefit is she is a
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: part of that was on like a I don't know
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: what channel exactly is on, but there's only so much
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: they can show on cable television. However, we will continue
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: on Taylor. Frankie Paul played in the game. She did it.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: We're proud of her.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: That's almost famous. Podcast The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: Season four cast photos and trailer. Okay, Ashley, I'm just
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: going to be naive here because I'm reading and trying
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: to keep up with everything going on. There's and this
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: might be a thing in every reality show that exists,
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: but I've never been, you know, aware of it. When
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: it comes to secret lives of Mormon wives, you have
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: like the mom talk the stars of the show, and
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: then sometimes you're just a friend of and a friend
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: of means maybe you were he knows, Yeah, you were
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: like maybe a person on previous seasons, but you've either
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: had like a breakup or your friendship's a split, or
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: the leads of the cast don't like you, and so
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: you become a friend of, which means you've been removed
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: from the most screen time a main person on the show.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: And so it's similar to like professional like soccer, where
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: you'll be demoted if you don't perform. Well, thanks, am
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: I getting it? Spotter?
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: So, because there's like a whole bunch of drama in
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: season three where Demi's not getting along with the girls.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: It was like, first it seems like an assault thing,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: and then it was like, uh, actually you're just flirting
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: with him, because it's flirting with him and you're married,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: so this is awkward. So anyway, the girls are not
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: vibing with to me right now. So other things that
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: go on in this trailer. We see Taylor riding in
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: a car with a man and sharing a kiss with him.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: It seems to be possibly the musician that we've hinted
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: at at previous and previous Rickie Friday episodes. We also
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: see two hot to handles, Harry Josie. He's hanging out,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: and then there's a shot of Dakota and Taylor in
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: bed together. This season, yeah, this season is going to
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: premiere on March twelfth on Hulu. The House Oh my goodness, gracious,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: how many times am I going to call them housewives
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: the Mormon Wives. They will be streaming all of their
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: episodes at once. You can watch this entire thing before
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Taylor's premiere of The Bachelorette on March twenty second. It
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: seems kind of like Kardashians now, which I don't mind.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there's going to be a big part of
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: the audience that does mind it. But because these girls
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: are are like now famous outside of Utah. They're doing
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Dancing the Stars, they're doing Bachelorette, They're doing Broadway, it's
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: kind of going to follow their lives, doing big things,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: doing lots of brand deals, doing lots of like making
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: their own companies and their own brands and all this.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: And these brands are outside of mom talk now that
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: it's just gonna it's going to document their celebrity lives
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: instead of documenting their mom Utah lives.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: But I kind of find.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: It to be interesting because I mean, I like the
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: celebrity component into it.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: This photo is very interesting, Like they're really playing into
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: this whole narrative of Mormon wives with this photo. It's
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: always thought they were trying to get away from that
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: and communicate, Yeah, like they were trying to communicate the
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: like what actually is a life of a Mormon wife,
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: But this photo definitely doesn't like help. It's all of
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: them like sitting in the same out like colored outfit,
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: like laying out like an old like Roman like room,
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: and they're all looking up at Taylor, Frankie Paul, some
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: with like admirations, some with disgust. It definitely plays into it.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: It's worth noting that Taylor is the only one in
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: the promo photo.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Looking directly at camera.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Everybody else is looking at somebody else, like as if
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: they're looking over their shoulder, and Taylor is like, oh no.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: I don't have to look at anybody else.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I can look directly at you because I exactly I'm
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: not looking over my shoulder at somebody else.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: I am the leader here.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: Hey. On February fifteenth, Taylor shared she's been talking about
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: this very openly and kind of processing it with her
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: fans and with the people that follow her. But Taylor
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: shares she's struggling mentally.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: She's a mom, a reality star, and an influencer all
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: at the same time. And I don't want to like
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: bring this back to me, but I could relate very
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: heavily when I was filming Housewives over the summer, and.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: This girl.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Literally has been doing this cycle for the past we'll
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: say four years, since they probably started filming the show.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: It's outrageous. She shows how she can't keep up with
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: the house at all. It's just a mess not and
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: then on top of like what I experienced over the summer,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: she is doing the Bachelorette Like, so she has two shows.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: She's an influencer so she has to keep up her
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: own brand, and a mom of three, and she's well
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: before a bachelorette single, so she doesn't even have a
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: partner to share all this with. I don't know how
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: I would do this without Jared as my support throughout
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: it all. So I can't imagine what this girl's going through.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: It is so intense. She probably doesn't have a second
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: to herself or try to relax. She's living in mess
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: She's living in messages just trying to keep it up.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: And a lot of the texts that she posted in
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: this real are her checking ian non friends and friends
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: checking in on her, and they're all just kind of
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: talking about how they're in this together, like how like
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: are you start?
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Are you depressed? Are you overwhelmed? Yes? Yes? Yes? Are
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: you just getting by? Yeah? I think like any mom
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: of littles can feel this just in general just.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Being a mom of a little let alone everything that
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Taylor has going on in her life.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: Ashley, I mean, as you said, you can relate to
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: this a little bit. At least you can relate more
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: than most I think in terms of your experiences. If
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: Taylor was listening to this episode, what advice would you
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: give her and how to kind of get her get
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: her back to feeling at least herself again.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: She probably knows this, but I think the only advice
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: that comes to my mind is, like, you know that
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: this is just like a phase. This is like a
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: really bad stage right now, and you never know, like
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: in a few weeks that she just could all lift, but.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: You need help.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: I'm sure she has a nanny and I know her
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: mom's around, but I think it just reminding her that
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: it's just a phase and then it'll.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: All come down. And if it doesn't come down and
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: she needs it to, then like she can't.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: She's in the position right now she can step back,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: she can drop one thing or another.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that would be Why is at some
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: point right you continue down this path, it's not going
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: to get less busy, You're not going to get less demand,
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: and so pulling back at some point is probably a
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: great option. And speaking of advice, somebody that we've talked
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: about more than we have in a long time, somebody
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: that's coming back up and we're learning more and hearing
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: more about her and we love her. Here at the
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: Almost Famous Podcast is Emily Maynard. Emily Maynard reveals advice
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: she gave Taylor Frankie Paul after filming The Bachelorette as
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: a mom.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: So Emily doesn't put herself out there like ever. She
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: did her first appearance a bachelor or Bachelor atte wise,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: really first like public thing since her time on the show,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: when they filmed The Bachelorette before the First Rows. This
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: was when all the girls were in the red outfits,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: the red sweatsuits, and then they filmed.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: Something with Taylor during the filming of her.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Season that was actually I thought it was going to
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: be part of the season, but it's going to be
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: this thing called The Bachelorette before the First Rows, and
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: it's going to be on ABC prior to her premiere.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: This is I guess a place.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: It's a reunion of sorts, but a place where the
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: girls are going to give advice to Taylor.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: That's right after the Oscars.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Ashley, Oh, whoa, they're putting this on after the Oscars.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: That's like a huge time slot. That's cool. Not that
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: like the Oscars gets like the most viewers in these days,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: but that used to be a coveted time slot. Yeah,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: all right, So anyway back to what Emily said was
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: she was on Happy Hour this week and that's crazy,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Like this was her first interview in like a decade
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: and I'm jealous. Emily, come on over to us. I
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: have so much to talk to you about. Basically just
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: fangirl to you. But anyway, she said something very interesting.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: She was like, when you're the bachelorette and you're a mom,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: the best advice that I can have for you is
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: forget you're a mom for a minute. She said's probably
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: the opposite advice that most people will give. But in
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: my head a lot was like, what are they going
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: to say, I can't do this because I'm a mom.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: I can't do this because I'm a mom. And she
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: said that when you know, it was the only time
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: since she was eighteen years old when she had Ricky
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: that she wasn't out being asked to like open up
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: a fruit snack or have to you know, flush the
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: toilet for her. She's like, Okay, this is the only
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: time in my life. Then I'm going to like concentrate
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: on myself and I'm going to try to make it
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: seem mentally that I'm I'm not a mom right now.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: I think that's good advice. I mean, I think you
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: want to be who is the guy years ago that
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: was on The Bachelor att who is like funny because
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: He's like, I can't do that because I'm a dad.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: But he was doing everything else.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: Yes, and he was a villain. Yeah that that was
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: on clar season.
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I forget his name at this point, had the dark,
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: dark hair. But as a dad, now, I do think
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: if you find yourself single and you are out there dating,
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: there is like a mental step he takes to say, hey,
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: this is this is a time for me, and yes,
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: I want to be respectful of my kids, and I
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: wonder respectful of the way they could see this potentially
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: and people would you know, comment however, like have a
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: little fun, you know, let loose a little bit to
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: enjoy and soak in this experience, especially if you've already
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: committed to it. So Emily Maynard continues to bring honest,
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: real and good advice and Emily, I'm saying that in
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: support of you, so that you do come on our
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: show at something so I can see actually freak out.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: She also, I remember she didn't go to fantasy.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: Sweet.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: It's not like she totally cut off the thought.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: There's like very clear things that you don't have to
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: do exactly that could be you know, misinterpreted or taken
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: out of context.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: But if you kissed two guys in one night. Big
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: who up to do?
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: Right? Hey? You know a lot? Just another Tuesday for
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: the Bachelor and Bachelor Ashley. Obviously you're investing deeply into
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: the secret lives of Mormon wives. We've known from this
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: show for years that you've been a fan of the
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: Kardashians and kind of following their story. Are you finding
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: yourself as intrigued and interested in the secret lives of
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: Mormon wives and Taylor Frankie Paul as you. I don't
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: want to say as the Kardashians, because I think that's different.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Let's not compare.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: I didn't mean to offend you, but is there a
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: similar kind of like fandom and interest.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: To me?
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: To be straighten up on us now, I am interested
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: and I enjoy getting this backstory about Taylor, and I'm
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: enjoying the series more and more as it comes out.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: And like I said, I do like the fact that
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Hulu ABC is going down the sort of production type
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: that that they do with Kardashians, with housewives or with
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Mormon wives. So be interesting to see if I like
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: it more and more as they follow that. You know
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: that mold well, the Kardashians, like you just I just
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: can't like their sisters, and I just it's a family dynamic.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: It's true family. They're never going to like really abandon
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: each other, and I think that with those with that relationship,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: it's just so much different. Like these girls are far
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: more fickle than the card Ashians are, and their relationship
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: just isn't as funny to me. I love the Kardashians
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: because of how close they are, comfortable they are with
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: each other. That makes sense, that does always tension with
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: these girls, and I feel like there's always that you
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: can always be on the chopping block with the Kardashians.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, like Courtney is pretty awful at times, but
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: like they're not going to write around of the family.
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: Oh, this is so fun. I love fall along with
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: Taylor Frankie Paul, all the stuff she's up to these days,
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: all the things leading up to the next season of
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: The Bachelorette, where Taylor Frankie Paul will be our next
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: bachelorette again. Right after the Oscars, there is going to
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: be a sneak preview of most of I'd say ninety
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: percent of the past bachelorettes coming together to not only
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: celebrate the upcoming season, but also share some advice and
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: lessons learned with Taylor. Frankie Paul, I think it's going
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: to be intriguing, interesting, and we're going to see some
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: familiar faces that maybe we haven't seen in a while
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: on our televisions and I love the idea of that. So, hey,
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: this is Frankie Friday. The weekend is upon us. We'll
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: be back next week with more news following the Bachelor, Bachelorette,
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: more interviews, and of course, as always Frankie Friday. So
• 27:17
