- 0:00Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast
- 0:03Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Hey guys, welcome to the Almost Famous Podcast. Today, it's
- 0:08Speaker 2: Ben and Ashley and we were here for another Frankie Friday. Yes,
- 0:12Speaker 2: we like to close up the week by rounding up
- 0:14Speaker 2: all the latest gossip news TikTok's clues about the upcoming
- 0:18Speaker 2: season of The Bouchelorette with Taylor Frankie Paul. This way,
- 0:23Speaker 2: if you're not a fan of secret lives of momerned wives,
- 0:26Speaker 2: at least you're getting brought into the Bachelor Nation world.
- 0:29Speaker 2: And if you're a Bachelor fan who doesn't know much
- 0:32Speaker 2: about Taylor, we hope that this will get you better
- 0:34Speaker 2: acquainted with the next lead. And Taylor seems to be
- 0:39Speaker 2: filming her final final day as well. Actually, I think
- 0:42Speaker 2: it's safe to say that she's filmed her final day.
- 0:45Speaker 2: I knew that they would finish before Christmas. And let's
- 0:49Speaker 2: talk about what we've uncovered this week because she has
- 0:51Speaker 2: been busy on social this week. I like the fact
- 0:56Speaker 2: that they have let her post and tease along the way.
- 0:59Speaker 2: I know a lot of people aren't not fans, including
- 1:01Speaker 2: Mila Kunis, which we will get to that in a
- 1:03Speaker 2: little bit, Ben, what is our first Frankie Friday hot topic?
- 1:09Speaker 3: This is this is a big deal. It feels like
- 1:11Speaker 3: they've been filming this season forever quite honestly.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Oh really, I don't think so. I thought it's been
- 1:16Speaker 2: very fast. I'm like, oh, look see she's back to
- 1:18Speaker 2: being a mom again. Like I just thought, oh, this
- 1:21Speaker 2: is a quick trip. In my head, it hasn't been long.
- 1:23Speaker 3: It feels like a long time to me, but that's
- 1:26Speaker 3: just me. Taylor Frankie Paul's fellow Mormon wives help her
- 1:30Speaker 3: find a end quote good man on the Bachelorette. What
- 1:35Speaker 3: do we know?
- 1:36Speaker 2: Ashley? The girls of mom Talk posted a video on
- 1:39Speaker 2: TikTok of Taylor dancing with Macy, Jesse, and Mikayla from
- 1:44Speaker 2: the show. The caption or the overlay reads point of view,
- 1:48Speaker 2: mom Talk finds Taylor a good man. So basically, we
- 1:52Speaker 2: now know that towards the end of her season, she'll
- 1:55Speaker 2: be sitting down with these three girls to talk about
- 1:59Speaker 2: who she has left and her relationships. I think this
- 2:01Speaker 2: is a good time to have her cast come on.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Macy was the one who posted captioned it. She said,
- 2:08Speaker 2: emphasis on fines because we all know that she won't
- 2:11Speaker 2: let us choose petitioned for mom talk to choose the
- 2:15Speaker 2: last man standing. That's what Jesse commented. So everybody is
- 2:21Speaker 2: really excited for her, and I'm glad that they had
- 2:25Speaker 2: this little moment.
- 2:27Speaker 3: As Ashley mentioned, we've seen more of this season and
- 2:30Speaker 3: behind the scenes of this season than any season in history.
- 2:33Speaker 3: They've allowed Taylor to post throughout the season, which has
- 2:36Speaker 3: helped us not necessarily get spoilers, but to follow along
- 2:43Speaker 3: with the season and where they're dating and where they're.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Going cameos dates, all that we know where they are, which.
- 2:50Speaker 3: Leads me to the next headline. Taylor goes on an
- 2:52Speaker 3: ice skating date. This is on December night.
- 2:56Speaker 2: This ice skating date took place in Salt Lake City
- 3:00Speaker 2: with a man who is also from Salt Lake City.
- 3:04Speaker 2: We won't say the name of the guy. Reality Steve
- 3:08Speaker 2: has spoiled it, and we also know that because they've
- 3:12Speaker 2: been posting so much, a lot of this hasn't been
- 3:15Speaker 2: super secret. I actually it's funny. I feel like Reality
- 3:19Speaker 2: Steve either hasn't really closely covered the show in the
- 3:22Speaker 2: past couple of seasons, or people just haven't cared about
- 3:25Speaker 2: what he's saying. Because I was like, oh, yeah, really Steve.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Oh he's down to spoil it, Like he's down, He's
- 3:31Speaker 2: like telling us stuff about this season. I feel like,
- 3:34Speaker 2: is it just me or is his gossip been like
- 3:37Speaker 2: kind of mia right, Yeah, I.
- 3:40Speaker 3: Have not seen any reality Steve post. He must be
- 3:44Speaker 3: covering other shows at this point, because yeah, usually he
- 3:47Speaker 3: was a topic conversation for us at least, or we're
- 3:50Speaker 3: breaking one of his kind of articles every headlines episode
- 3:55Speaker 3: and we have been. We haven't done that in years.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Yeah, well years might be an exaggeration, but it feels
- 4:01Speaker 2: like it could be so anyway, that date where they
- 4:05Speaker 2: were at an ice skating rink having like a little
- 4:08Speaker 2: one on one time at a table was December ninth,
- 4:10Speaker 2: and then on Thursday, December eleventh, after we believe she
- 4:14Speaker 2: went on another one on one. In the day in between,
- 4:18Speaker 2: she posted teaser last night was one of the best
- 4:22Speaker 2: nights of my life. Can't wait to talk about it
- 4:24Speaker 2: in like six months lol. And this is people are
- 4:30Speaker 2: assuming that this was her going to somebody's hometown in
- 4:35Speaker 2: Salt Lake City, but I guess it could also be
- 4:38Speaker 2: interpreted as she has one of her final weeks, like
- 4:41Speaker 2: say fantasy sweet Week in Salt Lake City. It's up
- 4:45Speaker 2: in the air. I suppose, or at least we would
- 4:47Speaker 2: probably figure it out, but we also don't want to
- 4:49Speaker 2: get that detailed. We know that that wasn't her final
- 4:53Speaker 2: week though, because it seems like her final week takes
- 4:56Speaker 2: place in Saint Lucia Island on Earth, and they have
- 5:02Speaker 2: recorded at Sugar Beach a number of times the finale.
- 5:05Speaker 2: It's one of Chris Harrison's favorite vacation spots and he
- 5:08Speaker 2: recommended it to me and now one of my favorites
- 5:12Speaker 2: in a very special place for me and Jared. So
- 5:14Speaker 2: I just am assuming that it might be at Sugar
- 5:16Speaker 2: Beach again.
- 5:17Speaker 3: I love when they're at Saint Lucia for the finale.
- 5:19Speaker 3: I think it's beautiful and it's almost like memorable, And
- 5:22Speaker 3: you sometimes watch those episodes, you're like, oh, I remember
- 5:24Speaker 3: when so and so is here. You can kind of
- 5:26Speaker 3: like flash back in time. Actually, before we get into
- 5:31Speaker 3: any celebrity reaction here. On December fourteenth, then three days
- 5:36Speaker 3: after the post, sharing that it was one of the
- 5:38Speaker 3: best days of her life, Taylor then gets back on
- 5:42Speaker 3: social media and posts these Instagram stories that Ashley will explain.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Okay, so this is where we think it's Saint Lucia.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Her mom posted a video or just a picture of
- 5:56Speaker 2: a resort with palm trees and all that, and then
- 5:59Speaker 2: she also hosted a similar picture and Taylor's overlay is
- 6:03Speaker 2: here we are. That seems like here we are the
- 6:08Speaker 2: final destination. She also posts a picture of her on
- 6:12Speaker 2: airplane and the flight attendant wrote her a sweet note
- 6:17Speaker 2: that says your strength, something about like her strength and
- 6:20Speaker 2: watching her and how much she's handled. Can't wait to
- 6:23Speaker 2: see you shine as the bachelorette. Hope that you find
- 6:26Speaker 2: happiness and love do you deserve? Your mama is also
- 6:28Speaker 2: the best love Jackie. So that's very sweet. And she
- 6:32Speaker 2: said that she gets this sometimes and it brings her
- 6:34Speaker 2: great joy. And yeah, that's all we have for the posts,
- 6:38Speaker 2: the teasers from the Frankie Pop the Frankie Family.
- 6:43Speaker 3: Yeah, so in conclusion, the last time we know that
- 6:47Speaker 3: Taylor was filming or on location was December fourteenth or
- 6:54Speaker 3: December sixteenth, actually, because we do know that her mom
- 6:57Speaker 3: was somewhere. Yeah, that looks like a where they're filming
- 7:01Speaker 3: this show. So December sixteenth, which was just a few
- 7:05Speaker 3: days ago, is the last time we know they were
- 7:08Speaker 3: on location. I will say that the show usually sticks
- 7:11Speaker 3: around for about five more days post wrapping of filming.
- 7:17Speaker 3: Some of the people stick around, The lead may stick around,
- 7:20Speaker 3: do any The.
- 7:21Speaker 2: Lead usually has a happy couple for three days there.
- 7:24Speaker 3: And yeah, and the lead does some videos to kind
- 7:26Speaker 3: of like close out the season.
- 7:27Speaker 1: And so.
- 7:29Speaker 3: It's not shocking if maybe filming ended even on December fourteenth,
- 7:34Speaker 3: that they would still be around on December sixteenth with
- 7:36Speaker 3: family to hang out and celebrate onto other Frankie Paul News.
- 7:53Speaker 3: We are getting some rumors swirling that he a man
- 8:00Speaker 3: and is trying to set the record for the most
- 8:01Speaker 3: appearances on The Bachelor at.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Every I mean, this is the juiciest topic. This is
- 8:08Speaker 2: the true lead of this podcast. Can't wait for you
- 8:12Speaker 2: to say that headline.
- 8:13Speaker 3: Headline is this is Blake Moins on Taylor Frankie Paul's
- 8:18Speaker 3: season of The Bachelor atte That's just a question, but
- 8:21Speaker 3: it's also the headline that is swirling around the internet
- 8:26Speaker 3: right now.
- 8:27Speaker 2: So this is how the rumor started. Joe in Serena
- 8:32Speaker 2: grocery store, Joe in Serena. They were at the airport
- 8:35Speaker 2: in LA and they heard on the intercom a flight
- 8:41Speaker 2: attendant and hoverer's at the desk calling for Blake coins
- 8:46Speaker 2: and a Bachelor producer's name. I'm assuming that this would
- 8:50Speaker 2: be Caitlin or it would be shabby. As far as
- 8:53Speaker 2: what we you and I know, these are the two
- 8:57Speaker 2: more seasoned perroducers that are working on the show that
- 9:02Speaker 2: were there during our time. Joe says that the producer
- 9:06Speaker 2: that the name was being called with somebody who's been
- 9:08Speaker 2: around that long and is senior enough to be handling
- 9:13Speaker 2: whoever's still remaining in this context. And he said that
- 9:18Speaker 2: he heard them call Blake Mooin's and this producer's name
- 9:22Speaker 2: two times, so he wasn't making it up in his head.
- 9:27Speaker 2: And now people are on Instagram or on whatever social
- 9:29Speaker 2: media platform this was, they talked about it, saying like
- 9:33Speaker 2: maybe they're dating, maybe they're going on a trip together.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Blake does tend to bring people, I mean, but we've seen,
- 9:42Speaker 2: especially with Rachel Recia, that Blake takes lots of bachelornation
- 9:46Speaker 2: on his trips with him. He's always traveling. The only
- 9:49Speaker 2: reason I think that Blake.
- 9:52Speaker 4: Actually probably is loving this is because this happened while
- 9:58Speaker 4: this season was happen, and I would think that both
- 10:03Speaker 4: of these producers would be hanging around until the very end.
- 10:09Speaker 2: Has Blake been off social media? Would they probably allow
- 10:13Speaker 2: him to be on social media? Because if she's allowed,
- 10:16Speaker 2: and then they don't want to have excessive spoilers. I
- 10:19Speaker 2: would think that they would allow him to post every
- 10:21Speaker 2: now and again. Okay, Well, he's posted plenty during this
- 10:26Speaker 2: time of filming, including him saying that he was down
- 10:31Speaker 2: in Australia. Huh, all right, does anybody have proof that
- 10:38Speaker 2: he was in Australia besides all these instagrams? Maybe? Oh,
- 10:44Speaker 2: he actually posts a ton Okay, a lot of Australia content.
- 10:49Speaker 2: Seems crazy for him to possibly have been on the show,
- 10:51Speaker 2: But Ben, do you have a take?
- 10:53Speaker 3: I do have a take. I think it would be
- 10:55Speaker 3: very odd for a producer of The Bachelor to be
- 10:57Speaker 3: traveling with a former contestant on the show during filming
- 11:04Speaker 3: of the show without him being a part of the
- 11:07Speaker 3: show in some way. We know that Blake does not
- 11:10Speaker 3: hate the mid season show up, and the show does
- 11:14Speaker 3: not hate that either. Nick Vile did it, Blake Moys
- 11:17Speaker 3: has done it. Why wouldn't he do it again? And
- 11:20Speaker 3: so I would not be surprised if Blake showed up
- 11:22Speaker 3: late to capture the heart of Taylor Frankie Paul and
- 11:26Speaker 3: that she was curious enough to take him to hometowns
- 11:28Speaker 3: and that's why the two of them were together in
- 11:32Speaker 3: the airport, because they were coming home from hometowns or
- 11:35Speaker 3: going to hometowns. I'm not going to be surprised at
- 11:41Speaker 3: all if he shows up on this season. I would.
- 11:45Speaker 3: I'm not surprised that it hasn't been rumored yet because
- 11:47Speaker 3: I bet they have him on Straight Lockdown. You're not
- 11:50Speaker 3: going to see him at these dates that the public
- 11:53Speaker 3: has any view of because they want this to be
- 11:57Speaker 3: a big surprise. I also, however, Ashley, Yeah, kind of
- 12:04Speaker 3: wonder if this is one big setup by the show
- 12:07Speaker 3: to promote the show.
- 12:10Speaker 2: We yeah, like, why would they be calling the two
- 12:12Speaker 2: of their names?
- 12:14Speaker 3: Also, how is it just so happened to be that
- 12:17Speaker 3: Joe and Serena, who hosts a show for the the
- 12:20Speaker 3: a podcast for the Bachelor and Bachelorette, are the ones
- 12:25Speaker 3: that happen to be at the airport when this happens.
- 12:27Speaker 3: And you know they have to get clearance for the
- 12:31Speaker 3: things set on their show. You're right, So I feel like,
- 12:39Speaker 3: bract this is either one big conspiracy to promote the show,
- 12:45Speaker 3: which I don't know why they would because the Bachelor's
- 12:47Speaker 3: had enough promotion through just Taylor Frankie Paul being the lead.
- 12:51Speaker 3: Yeah that now they're like, okay, we can start to
- 12:55Speaker 3: like the old days. This was a very common tactic
- 12:57Speaker 3: in the old days with using Reality Steve or using
- 13:01Speaker 3: some of the like e et and those things, is
- 13:05Speaker 3: to slowly leak stories from the season to get the
- 13:09Speaker 3: public's attention and excitement for this season.
- 13:12Speaker 2: Because I am truly excited after hearing this, and I'm
- 13:17Speaker 2: hoping that he does come on it work. He is
- 13:20Speaker 2: definitely her type, like so much so like he looks
- 13:24Speaker 2: like exactly like Dakota so similar. So maybe she even.
- 13:29Speaker 3: Said like I want him to come on, and I
- 13:32Speaker 3: have no Like I don't know Blake personally, but just
- 13:37Speaker 3: from seeing him and knowing who his friends are, this like,
- 13:41Speaker 3: I don't think he'd have a problem coming back on
- 13:43Speaker 3: the show again. Like I think he would do that
- 13:45Speaker 3: and somehow, kind of like Chris Bukowski, he gets away
- 13:49Speaker 3: with it without anybody being like, goodness, gracious, this guy
- 13:51Speaker 3: just can't give up.
- 13:53Speaker 2: Chris did not get away with it.
- 13:55Speaker 3: In my opinion, Nick may have, but for years he
- 13:59Speaker 3: did and then kind of toys the end when he
- 14:01Speaker 3: was like in Paradise, when like he was ten years
- 14:05Speaker 3: older than everybody else, everybody was like, hey, dude, like
- 14:07Speaker 3: call it. But Blake is still in the right age
- 14:10Speaker 3: group where this could work. It wouldn't be shocking to
- 14:13Speaker 3: me and it would make sense. Wed you have another headline.
- 14:17Speaker 3: Mila Kunis who's a huge fan of the show and
- 14:20Speaker 3: has been fangirls over Taylor Frankie Paul being the bachelorette,
- 14:26Speaker 3: and then she's also kind of teasing Taylor finding love Ashley,
- 14:32Speaker 3: you've watched this video, break it down for.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Us, it's not much. We love Mila and this family.
- 14:38Speaker 2: She and Ashton have been so kind to Jared and
- 14:41Speaker 2: I the times that we have seen them, and she's
- 14:43Speaker 2: just a huge fan of the show. And she's also
- 14:46Speaker 2: a huge fan of Mormon Wives. And so when Ashton
- 14:50Speaker 2: was on the Red Carpet a couple of weeks ago
- 14:52Speaker 2: with some of the Mormon Wives, she goes, my husband
- 14:55Speaker 2: is really great at loving me. He accepts me for
- 14:57Speaker 2: who I am. And he was doing a junket and
- 14:59Speaker 2: he and he facetimed me with the ladies of the
- 15:02Speaker 2: Mormon Wives. He knows me so well, and I was like, hi, girls,
- 15:05Speaker 2: it was so great. And then Taylor wrote under that
- 15:10Speaker 2: post the one of her explaining the story, and she goes,
- 15:13Speaker 2: what is life? And then about you know, Mela, seeing
- 15:21Speaker 2: all the spoilers out there about Taylor season, she said,
- 15:24Speaker 2: I'm so excited about the season. I'm just avoiding all spoilers.
- 15:28Speaker 2: I keep seeing these stupid spoilers and I'm like, stop it.
- 15:32Speaker 2: So look, she's one of those fans Ben she doesn't like.
- 15:35Speaker 2: She doesn't like the public dates that are getting out there.
- 15:39Speaker 3: I'm more on the Mela side. I'd rather just be
- 15:41Speaker 3: secretive about all this leading up to it, But I
- 15:44Speaker 3: haven't hated also kind of getting not one over. I
- 15:49Speaker 3: just don't know Taylor, Frankie Paul. I didn't know a
- 15:53Speaker 3: lot about her, And so I am getting more optimistic
- 15:59Speaker 3: by seeing knee spoilers come out and these little dates
- 16:02Speaker 3: come out because it seems like she's into it, which
- 16:04Speaker 3: was one of my biggest concerns was she was she
- 16:06Speaker 3: actually going to be into this or not. So I've
- 16:09Speaker 3: actually enjoyed it.
- 16:11Speaker 2: She likes these guys.
- 16:12Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's great and so that as a result,
- 16:14Speaker 3: I've gotten more excited.
- 16:16Speaker 2: Yeah, and I love the fact that they cast so
- 16:19Speaker 2: many guys that are her type. And please, I blake
- 16:22Speaker 2: right on it.
- 16:23Speaker 3: Final headline is this. Dakota has obviously popped up in
- 16:28Speaker 3: headlines Taylor Frankie Paul's X a few times through this season.
- 16:32Speaker 3: People are curious about him. He's been on social media
- 16:37Speaker 3: a little bit speaking to some of the Bachelorette stuff.
- 16:42Speaker 3: I'll be honest, I'm well, I'm assuming that it's very
- 16:48Speaker 3: hard for an X, especially an ex who had such
- 16:55Speaker 3: a committed and close relationship to a lead, watching their
- 17:01Speaker 3: past love go on a show like this and date.
- 17:05Speaker 3: It would be hard. Yeah, Jealousy, envy, curiosity, there's a
- 17:10Speaker 3: lot that goes into that. So the headline is this,
- 17:12Speaker 3: is anyone wondering what Taylor Frankie Paul's ex Dakota.
- 17:17Speaker 2: Is up to. Yeah, there's not much in this, but
- 17:20Speaker 2: he did he was in La so I guess people
- 17:24Speaker 2: are speculating was he there shooting for the show. He's
- 17:27Speaker 2: gotta obviously be on an episode. I don't think they
- 17:30Speaker 2: would work it out so that he wasn't. And then coda,
- 17:34Speaker 2: there is this one picture that he definitely plopped in
- 17:37Speaker 2: there just to get tons wagging. And that's a picture
- 17:40Speaker 2: of him with another woman's with a woman's hair in
- 17:44Speaker 2: front of him. Just here, Ben, I'll show you.
- 17:47Speaker 3: Do we know if Dakota and Taylor Frankie Paul get along.
- 17:51Speaker 2: Yeah, they do. There's even some people that will say
- 17:54Speaker 2: that they were hooking up right before she left. They're
- 17:56Speaker 2: on and off. They've always been on and off. And
- 17:58Speaker 2: because they share a child, like I just do, you
- 18:00Speaker 2: feel like they're very involved in each other's lives. But yeah,
- 18:03Speaker 2: he's here at the Rams game. He's taking a whole
- 18:08Speaker 2: bunch of random pictures. Got one of his feet, he's
- 18:10Speaker 2: got one of palm trees. But it's definitely him throwing
- 18:14Speaker 2: in this picture very close to a woman's hair, his
- 18:18Speaker 2: nose and a woman's hair that's supposed to get people
- 18:20Speaker 2: to he knows what is there. Yeah, he knows exactly
- 18:24Speaker 2: what he's doing. And then he's O, there's a woman,
- 18:27Speaker 2: a woman's hand eating ding tai fung or something with him.
- 18:31Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 18:32Speaker 2: See, so he's dead like it's a girl with a manicure,
- 18:36Speaker 2: and you could tell that he's just trying to tease something.
- 18:39Speaker 2: It could truly be his mom. It's not, I don't think,
- 18:43Speaker 2: but you.
- 18:43Speaker 3: Know, well, that's all we got.
- 18:45Speaker 2: We'll keep looking for Dakota's subposts. And Frankie Frankie, Why
- 18:53Speaker 2: do I kind of wanted to call her Frankie. It's
- 18:55Speaker 2: just a fun it's a fun name to say, Frankie, right, Yeah,
- 18:59Speaker 2: if you have a daughter, frank he's a kind of
- 19:02Speaker 2: a cute girl name now, or at least now I
- 19:04Speaker 2: think of it because of her. Alrighty, well, guys, we
- 19:07Speaker 2: have more stuff coming your way about Taylor. Can't wait
- 19:12Speaker 2: to learn more about this season. But until next time,
- 19:16Speaker 2: I've been Ashley and I've been Ben.
- 19:18Speaker 3: We'll talk to you soon.
