- 0:11Speaker 1: up on everything happening in Bachelor Nations. For headlines today,
- 0:16Speaker 1: we have producer Heather with us to break everything down.
- 0:20Speaker 1: She is an expert in the expert that will help
- 0:24Speaker 1: us all make sense of the craziness. This is a
- 0:27Speaker 1: wild one. We'll start with this one. Heather Taylor. Frankie
- 0:31Speaker 1: Paul fires back at former Bachelor Grant ellis post alluding
- 0:36Speaker 1: to her legal troubles. Heather, I saw this this weekend.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Yeah, me too.
- 0:42Speaker 1: You know, Grant does what Grant does, but like this
- 0:45Speaker 1: came out of complete nowhere, and it's it's like he
- 0:47Speaker 1: just started like throwing videos out there that he thought
- 0:51Speaker 1: would get the most like attention, likelia for Bachelor. It's like,
- 0:55Speaker 1: what is happening?
- 0:57Speaker 3: That's exactly what I think he was doing right, looking
- 0:59Speaker 3: for attention. He posted a video on May sixth that
- 1:06Speaker 3: said alluding to Taylor's recent legal trouble. Writing in text
- 1:11Speaker 3: overlay on the video, he wrote, let me get some
- 1:13Speaker 3: felonies and become a Mormon so I can get cool
- 1:17Speaker 3: with Bachelor Nation laughing crying face, which, again, like you said,
- 1:22Speaker 3: it's like it's coming out of the blue. It's also
- 1:24Speaker 3: like we're over two months now into this saga that
- 1:30Speaker 3: we've been facing with Taylor, So it just was kind
- 1:34Speaker 3: of a random thing.
- 1:35Speaker 2: And in the comments of the post.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Is the saga is almost done, Like we're like, I mean,
- 1:40Speaker 1: like they're legal stuff, but like, where have you bloved here? Yeah.
- 1:46Speaker 3: In the comments of the post by the fan account,
- 1:49Speaker 3: the Mormon Wives report they re shared Grant's video, and
- 1:54Speaker 3: the reality TV star Taylor wrote, yes, I'm far from
- 1:59Speaker 3: a perfect princess bachelorette, feel free to tell him. I
- 2:03Speaker 3: was also told I was one of the kindest leads
- 2:06Speaker 3: they've had to both cast and crew heart emoji that's
- 2:11Speaker 3: how so. Yeah, I think that was probably a little
- 2:16Speaker 3: dig right, Like why would she say that I was
- 2:20Speaker 3: I was the kindest. Well, she can't say she was
- 2:22Speaker 3: the kindest. I'm here with Bachelor Ben Higgins and I
- 2:25Speaker 3: get to work with Ashley I Kennetti. I think are
- 2:27Speaker 3: two of the kindest people from Bachelor Nation.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, keep that up. I'd keep saying.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Truth, it's truth, But I think that I think that's
- 2:37Speaker 3: maybe a dig of maybe she heard something about recent
- 2:42Speaker 3: Grant Bachelor season. Maybe he wasn't too kind, maybe he
- 2:45Speaker 3: wasn't the easiest to deal with.
- 2:46Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't get it. I don't get I mean,
- 2:49Speaker 1: I get the whole thing. I get what he's trying
- 2:51Speaker 1: to do, but it just it feels very late in
- 2:53Speaker 1: the game.
- 2:54Speaker 3: It feels to me like what we saw last year,
- 2:57Speaker 3: right Grant was making videos when the casting for Love
- 3:01Speaker 3: Island was open, saying maybe I should go audition for
- 3:04Speaker 3: Love Island. I think it's just he maybe checks his
- 3:08Speaker 3: algorithm on a weekend when he's able to make videos,
- 3:11Speaker 3: and he goes, oh, what's trending right now?
- 3:13Speaker 2: Oh okay, I'll go make a video about this.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Okay, that makes sense. Former bachelor The vulges staggering amount
- 3:21Speaker 1: of money he makes from cameo alone.
- 3:25Speaker 2: You're not on cameo, right, I am? You are? Oh
- 3:29Speaker 2: my gosh.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Well we'll have to get into this because, uh because
- 3:35Speaker 3: because obviously we're talking about Clayton Eckard. He went on
- 3:38Speaker 3: She's All Batch podcast last week and he revealed that
- 3:42Speaker 3: he made over ninety seven thousand dollars on cameo in
- 3:48Speaker 3: this last year. Great job for him. He explained that
- 3:53Speaker 3: his viral dance videos on the platform pay more than
- 3:56Speaker 3: a full time job, which, yeah, round hunt grand a year.
- 4:01Speaker 3: That could be for sure more than a full time job. Yeah,
- 4:04Speaker 3: he said, I did thirteen hundred cameos in the last year,
- 4:08Speaker 3: so you can do the math on that. Multiply that
- 4:10Speaker 3: by seventy five dollars a pop. You can see how
- 4:14Speaker 3: much money I made from it. It's a lot of money,
- 4:17Speaker 3: which she then did the calculations on the air, and
- 4:19Speaker 3: she was very surprised by that. So he said, and again,
- 4:24Speaker 3: why do I have cameos? Because I was the Bachelor.
- 4:26Speaker 3: It brings opportunities, so I appreciate that I've gotten that
- 4:30Speaker 3: from the show.
- 4:32Speaker 2: He also noted that.
- 4:33Speaker 3: His money making cameos have allowed him to chase his
- 4:36Speaker 3: passions and dance more so. People are like, all he
- 4:40Speaker 3: does is dance all day?
- 4:42Speaker 2: What's his real job?
- 4:43Speaker 3: He said, I'm like, if you guys only knew what
- 4:45Speaker 3: I'm bringing in, I'm chilling.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad. I'm glad he's dancing. I didn't even
- 4:51Speaker 1: think about the fact that there's dance like like hobby
- 4:57Speaker 1: that he has or passion that he has. Also he
- 5:00Speaker 1: he has found a way to monetize it. Good for him.
- 5:02Speaker 3: I was hoping that he was making bank off of these,
- 5:05Speaker 3: because I don't know anybody personally who's ever ordered a
- 5:09Speaker 3: cameo from Clayton. But man, do those things pop up
- 5:13Speaker 3: on my TikTok all the time?
- 5:15Speaker 2: My friend ordered me a TikTok from Clayton, and he
- 5:19Speaker 2: will do.
- 5:20Speaker 3: I mean, that's I guess what cameo is all about
- 5:23Speaker 3: is that you can order him. It's not just a
- 5:25Speaker 3: birthday wish. Sometimes I've seen him. I feel like I've
- 5:28Speaker 3: seen him do divorce ones. I've seen him do other things,
- 5:31Speaker 3: you know, congratulating people. I really wanted to know why
- 5:35Speaker 3: who his neighbors are, like, because he dances, and he
- 5:38Speaker 3: dances so loud. He'll be like, Heley, it's your birthday,
- 5:42Speaker 3: like Spreames, and I'm just like, man, I wonder who
- 5:47Speaker 3: his neighbors are and like if he has to be like, hey, man,
- 5:49Speaker 3: I'm making cameos from nine am to three pm today.
- 5:54Speaker 2: It's very like.
- 5:56Speaker 3: Tom Sandoval, who makes cameos for people and stuff. It's
- 6:00Speaker 3: like I feel like it's like mildly a joke, but
- 6:03Speaker 3: He's like, a it's a joke.
- 6:05Speaker 2: I'm laughing at the bank, Like, good for him.
- 6:08Speaker 1: I have somebody on here right now who's trying to
- 6:10Speaker 1: convince me to send him a foot picture. Oh for
- 6:14Speaker 1: eighty bucks. Not nah, I'm not doing it for eighty bucks.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Former The Bachelor star Ali Fotowski defends sleep divorce from
- 6:37Speaker 1: husband Kevin Mano.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this headline.
- 6:40Speaker 3: I wanted to put this in here, but people need
- 6:43Speaker 3: to maybe chill a little bit, because then I watched
- 6:46Speaker 3: the video and I was like, I don't even think
- 6:48Speaker 3: this is real, Like I think this is all just
- 6:51Speaker 3: for the brand deal, because yes, this was this headline
- 6:54Speaker 3: is associated with a brand deal for a mattress company
- 6:58Speaker 3: that they were both doing together. I feel like people
- 7:02Speaker 3: are going to feel like this is controversial, Ali says
- 7:05Speaker 3: in the beginning of the video, and then I don't know.
- 7:09Speaker 2: Sleep divorce.
- 7:10Speaker 3: Kevin says, it's not uncommon these days, and they basically
- 7:15Speaker 3: go into the three reasons why they don't sleep together
- 7:18Speaker 3: all the time, and they make sure to say it's
- 7:21Speaker 3: not like a every time thing. It's really hard for
- 7:25Speaker 3: me to only come up with three reasons, she says,
- 7:29Speaker 3: and they basically say that their two kids are at
- 7:32Speaker 3: the age where they still like to have sleepovers in
- 7:34Speaker 3: bed with them. So that's one reason is like sometimes
- 7:38Speaker 3: they'll sleep they'll take one kid and sleep in the
- 7:42Speaker 3: primary bedroom. In the other one they'll take to sleep
- 7:44Speaker 3: in the guest bedroom, which is the guest bedroom is
- 7:47Speaker 3: where this very nice mattress is that they were talking about,
- 7:51Speaker 3: and they said, it's the most comfortable bed in the house.
- 7:54Speaker 3: And then number two reason is it's just really comfortable.
- 8:00Speaker 3: And basically they said the other reason is because Kevin
- 8:04Speaker 3: has to get up at three am to go to
- 8:06Speaker 3: work and he absolutely hates, you know, waking alli up
- 8:10Speaker 3: with his alarm clock.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Do you and Jess get up at the same time
- 8:14Speaker 2: every day?
- 8:14Speaker 1: Goodness, No, my wife wakes up at four forty five
- 8:17Speaker 1: every day. That's crazy to make for the baby. No, No,
- 8:23Speaker 1: when he sleeps past like me, I get up at
- 8:25Speaker 1: like six'. TEN i think my long goes off at.
- 8:29Speaker 1: SIX i get up at six' ten and get ready
- 8:31Speaker 1: and then when he usually gets up around. Six, Thirty
- 8:34Speaker 1: no jess, wakes up she, works out she reads, her
- 8:39Speaker 1: devotionals she spends like some time prepping for, her day
- 8:45Speaker 1: AND then i get up and we like have a
- 8:47Speaker 1: couple of. Coffee together, BUT no I mean i would
- 8:50Speaker 1: love to be an. EARLY riser i still feel like
- 8:52Speaker 1: six is, reasonably early but four forty five almost, Like
- 8:56Speaker 1: HURTS like i, don't know.
- 8:58Speaker 2: It's still like, right now sleeping. STILL nighttime.
- 9:02Speaker 3: I had i had many years where work started at,
- 9:07Speaker 3: four thirty four forty five in.
- 9:09Speaker 2: The Morning so easton's on here you can attest.
- 9:12Speaker 3: Like we've i've had that chapter of my life where
- 9:16Speaker 3: it was like going to work in the dark, and
- 9:19Speaker 3: uh not, for me not. For, me yeah, but yeah
- 9:23Speaker 3: everybody can just calm down if they Thought that Kevin
- 9:26Speaker 3: and ali were having a. Sleep, divorce PERSONALLY when i
- 9:29Speaker 3: watched that video and read this, HEADLINE together i, was, like,
- 9:32Speaker 3: YEAH no i don't.
- 9:33Speaker 2: THINK so i think this is all for the.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Brand deal not. A, Thing Hey, caitlin bristow she does this. As,
- 9:40Speaker 1: well yeah she does. This well she teases picking out
- 9:44Speaker 1: baby names and fans are convinced It Involves. Zach, clark
- 9:50Speaker 1: okay there's a lot of things to. This headline won

- 9:59Speaker 1: us to a place to Believe That caylen bristow. Is, pregnant, no.
- 10:02Speaker 2: No, if anything she was.
- 10:04Speaker 3: Just playing this is like a, TikTok Trend which i'm
- 10:08Speaker 3: sure you don't, know this but it's a TikTok trend
