- 0:48Speaker 1: I feel like we're killing it for the off season.
- 0:50Speaker 1: This is you know, the Bachelor isn't happening. The Bachelor
- 0:52Speaker 1: isn't happening, Bachelor in Paradise isn't happening. Um, and we're
- 0:57Speaker 1: still going and we're making this work. Yeah, we have
- 1:00Speaker 1: you news every single week. But our fellow Bachelor contestants
- 1:04Speaker 1: are helping us out with this, Like the whole Wells
- 1:07Speaker 1: and Sarah Highland thing, all the pregnancies, Caitlin doing Broadway,
- 1:12Speaker 1: like everybody's creating news for us. Let you know about
- 1:16Speaker 1: Sarah and Well I just but but before I want
- 1:18Speaker 1: to say that, it sounds like what we're getting to
- 1:22Speaker 1: is that bachelor contestants and Bachelor contestants have more going
- 1:25Speaker 1: on than just the show. Oh my gosh, look we're
- 1:28Speaker 1: growing son of a gun. Um all right, so Amy,
- 1:32Speaker 1: you want to talk about Wells and Sarah. Yeah, I
- 1:34Speaker 1: want to know what everybody knows. Okay, Um, Well, I
- 1:37Speaker 1: don't want to be like the girl who tells things,
- 1:39Speaker 1: so Ben, all right, I'll take that role. Let me
- 1:42Speaker 1: get in trouble. Um, here's deal. What I know, here's
- 1:45Speaker 1: the deal. Here's the deal. Um. I met Sarah Highland
- 1:50Speaker 1: about two years ago at an ABC event, and I
- 1:53Speaker 1: think she is absolutely fantastic. She was nothing but nice
- 1:57Speaker 1: and funny and sweet and and I love Modern Family.
- 2:00Speaker 1: It is my favorite show on television, I think is
- 2:03Speaker 1: It's one of the most well written, witty, creative shows
- 2:06Speaker 1: ever done. Uh So, I've always been a fan of Area.
- 2:09Speaker 1: I was excited to meet here and then Wells Adams
- 2:12Speaker 1: one of my favorite people ever in Bachelor Nation. I mean,
- 2:15Speaker 1: he is, He's somebody that I just not only like
- 2:18Speaker 1: just enjoy being around, but I have a really deep
- 2:21Speaker 1: heart for it. I don't really know why I haven't
- 2:22Speaker 1: been around him a ton, but on our times that
- 2:25Speaker 1: we do spend, I feel like, uh, spending time with
- 2:27Speaker 1: Wales always makes my life better. So you guys, you
- 2:30Speaker 1: guys are very compatible. You're very cute in real life. Yeah,
- 2:33Speaker 1: I mean we're and we're different. We're so so different,
- 2:36Speaker 1: so different, but we get along very well. So my
- 2:40Speaker 1: my thought is, I do know that there's interest. I
- 2:43Speaker 1: don't know if they're official. I don't Instagram official, and
- 2:47Speaker 1: I think that's the new Facebook official. So I would say,
- 2:50Speaker 1: you're not going to post multiple pictures on both ends
- 2:54Speaker 1: without them actually being a girlfriend and boyd. I mean,
- 2:58Speaker 1: do you know how they met, right? I Actually I
- 3:00Speaker 1: think it is through social media. I think there was. Yeah,
- 3:03Speaker 1: I think there was a way. Thanks for being honest
- 3:05Speaker 1: so I didn't have to be. Don't worry. I'll just
- 3:07Speaker 1: fall on the sword over and over again to you. Actually,
- 3:09Speaker 1: I'll do that for the rest of my life if
- 3:11Speaker 1: I need to. Um No, I mean I think it's
- 3:13Speaker 1: through social media. I don't know how that whole world works,
- 3:16Speaker 1: but I'm sure there's messages or interests. I think that's
- 3:18Speaker 1: great and it's fine. It's an avenue at which to
- 3:20Speaker 1: meet people. So why would you not take advantage of saying,
- 3:23Speaker 1: you know, I don't know who who initiated Sarah or
- 3:25Speaker 1: do well the Nashley Okay, it was s Okay. So
- 3:32Speaker 1: Sarah saw interest in Wells, reached out to Wells, and
- 3:35Speaker 1: Wells showed interest back. What a beautiful story and and
- 3:38Speaker 1: the fact that they're having fun. I know Sarah just
- 3:40Speaker 1: gotta a relationship. I know Wells has kind of been
- 3:42Speaker 1: um dating and also going on Bachelor in Paradise and
- 3:45Speaker 1: kind of had his romantic interest. So if their journey
- 3:48Speaker 1: leads them together through whatever means, we should celebrate that.
- 3:52Speaker 1: And we're gonna do it right now on this podcast,
- 3:53Speaker 1: with a round of applause. That is how Mandy Moore
- 3:57Speaker 1: met her husband her dance. Yeah, she's run into d MS.
- 4:02Speaker 1: She reached out publicly like I like your music, and
- 4:06Speaker 1: then he had his people call her people and now
- 4:08Speaker 1: they're engaged. I keep telling Amy that she as my people,
- 4:12Speaker 1: like Amy's are people like she needs to make some
- 4:14Speaker 1: phone calls on our behalf. I'm happy to. In fact,
- 4:18Speaker 1: I got a listener asking realistically, you have to be realistic.
- 4:23Speaker 1: You can't say, like, yeah, I'm not gonna say Justin Bieber.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Who I'm not gonna say Harry. You know, I think
- 4:28Speaker 1: her name was Lila, Lila Lila. She wanted to know
- 4:33Speaker 1: who realistically, what celebrity do you want? And what celebrity
- 4:36Speaker 1: do you want? And is this the first Bachelor's celebrity herring?
- 4:41Speaker 1: The only other one I could think of was Ben
- 4:42Speaker 1: Atlantic and Chris Jenner. Well, I think this is the
- 4:45Speaker 1: only second. Amy just dropped a bomb that we need
- 4:51Speaker 1: to discuss for at least a minute. Amy, can you
- 4:52Speaker 1: please explain what you just said. I just can remember
- 4:56Speaker 1: right after Ben Planet was the Bachelor, and actually he
- 4:59Speaker 1: was on the show. He was on sins on the
- 5:01Speaker 1: show today so we could ask her about it. So
- 5:03Speaker 1: Ben Atlantic broke up with Courtney and then he was
- 5:06Speaker 1: in Napa canoodling. I guess they stay in Hollywood. With
- 5:11Speaker 1: Chris Jenner, well, he was on one episode The Kardashians
- 5:14Speaker 1: a few seasons back, and yeah, that was the rumor.
- 5:17Speaker 1: She you know, they kept saying they're just friends, but
- 5:19Speaker 1: it's kind of weird friendship. I mean, Chris, Chris got
- 5:22Speaker 1: it going on. Chris. Yeah, Chris does have it going on.
- 5:25Speaker 1: As her sixty second birthday yesterday, she's looking fab Um.
- 5:29Speaker 1: I think this is the first public celebrity relationship. I
- 5:33Speaker 1: mean one of the guys in the past with um
- 5:38Speaker 1: the actress. Well, Bob Guinea dated the girl from All
- 5:44Speaker 1: My Children. Oh the he married her. I'm gonna look
- 5:49Speaker 1: this up as we're talking about. Honestly, just just let
- 5:55Speaker 1: me look this up. I have zero clue what I'm
- 5:57Speaker 1: talking about, but I know I've seen seen a headline before.
- 5:59Speaker 1: He's breaking himself so uncomfortable. Yeah, this is brilliant, brilliant, Okay,
- 6:03Speaker 1: I actually don't know. So this is the first public
- 6:06Speaker 1: A lot of the girls have dated athletes before, but
- 6:08Speaker 1: like it depends on it's the first. Actress is the first,
- 6:11Speaker 1: like Hollywood person, all the girls always date athletes and
- 6:14Speaker 1: never since the middle school. I used to be an
- 6:15Speaker 1: athletes in school, and I would date so many girls
- 6:19Speaker 1: back then. Did you play um golf? Uh? Uh? Basketball
- 6:27Speaker 1: and football? What did you play in football? It was
- 6:30Speaker 1: a quarterback. See I knew you would because look how
- 6:32Speaker 1: hot you are. Actually I know. Well, obviously it's very
- 6:36Speaker 1: interesting to see how in the NFL seems like, well,
- 6:41Speaker 1: the quarterbacks usually the hottest in the team in the NFL,
- 6:43Speaker 1: and I think it usually starts because they were the
- 6:44Speaker 1: hottest in high school and then they became the quarterback
- 6:47Speaker 1: because they were the leader and the hottest, and then
- 6:49Speaker 1: it just like grew. They grew into themselves. Well, and
- 6:52Speaker 1: we're also the most prideful, so we want to be
- 6:54Speaker 1: in the spotlight all the time. So typically typically two things. Pa, okay,
- 6:59Speaker 1: I I am if if I seem a little disconnected
- 7:02Speaker 1: right now, Um, it's because I'm looking at my phone
- 7:04Speaker 1: for for the info that I try to share about
- 7:06Speaker 1: who's beating you. But before we get there, we have
- 7:09Speaker 1: somebody else. That meant, in a very traditional way, we
- 7:12Speaker 1: have the one and only Jade. I did I always
- 7:20Speaker 1: said Rope and I totally forgot that you're married to
- 7:23Speaker 1: one of my good friends. Now, um, Jade, welcome to
- 7:26Speaker 1: the almost famous podcast. Yeah, how is it the first
- 7:31Speaker 1: time you've been here? She's been on my I don't
- 7:33Speaker 1: get a podcast twice, but you've never been on here.
- 7:36Speaker 1: I know. I feel all special now, so weird? Um Okay,
- 7:40Speaker 1: so on my podcast, we talked a lot about your
- 7:42Speaker 1: birthing story, and we talked about pregnancy and all the
- 7:45Speaker 1: biological changes, and you guys can head over to that.
- 7:48Speaker 1: I don't get a podcast. You want to hear about
- 7:50Speaker 1: the biology of it all, and it's so good and
- 7:53Speaker 1: like just Tanner having to watch the whole birthing process
- 7:57Speaker 1: is the funniest explanation. But right all we want to
- 8:00Speaker 1: talk about just like how is motherhood and how is
- 8:03Speaker 1: like just adjustined having a baby and having to take
- 8:05Speaker 1: care of her every day. Um, it's it's like the
- 8:09Speaker 1: craziest thing you'll ever experience. Actually, it's just it's crazy,
- 8:13Speaker 1: like every day it's so different. You can never like
- 8:17Speaker 1: brace yourself for what's going to happen next, because the
- 8:20Speaker 1: minute you think you have it down, they change. Um,
- 8:23Speaker 1: but it's amazing. I'm tired all the time. You look
- 8:27Speaker 1: beautiful though, thank you. I mean, I love it. It's
- 8:30Speaker 1: it's it's an amazing experience. It's an amazing thing. We
- 8:34Speaker 1: just can't get enough of Emmy's cute instagrams on her
- 8:37Speaker 1: own instagram, which is Emmy Tilbert, and then you and
- 8:41Speaker 1: Tanners and your Tanner and Tanner and yours canner and
- 8:45Speaker 1: your instagrams. Don't tell me you would have had a
- 8:48Speaker 1: problem with that either. Is it she love the camera? Um?
- 8:56Speaker 1: You know, she only has like a window of about
- 8:59Speaker 1: their any minutes like twice a day where she's really
- 9:02Speaker 1: good and so then then she likes the camera, but
- 9:05Speaker 1: otherwise not so much. You mean, babies, you kind of
- 9:07Speaker 1: have to just kind of catch that moment when you can.
- 9:10Speaker 1: But we have a lot of fun with it. I
- 9:12Speaker 1: feel I started to say bad from them because my
- 9:14Speaker 1: whole Instagram now is literally just her, But I'm like,
- 9:17Speaker 1: I don't do anything else, you know, it's just me
- 9:19Speaker 1: and me and her during that it but none of
- 9:21Speaker 1: us mind that. Like I love every single picture of
- 9:24Speaker 1: Eman And maybe it's because like I feel like I'm
- 9:27Speaker 1: possibly like her bachelor antie, but like I'm obsessed with
- 9:32Speaker 1: seeing them. She's so beautiful self proclaimed bachelor auntie. Could
- 9:38Speaker 1: that baby be any more lucky? I mean, I feel
- 9:40Speaker 1: like you would spoil a child. Actually, um, I'm kind
- 9:43Speaker 1: And it was funny. It was so funny when I,
- 9:46Speaker 1: of course, like we got her a little something at
- 9:48Speaker 1: the baby shower, but then when I saw emmy like
- 9:50Speaker 1: for the first time, I talked about how I had
- 9:53Speaker 1: extren emotional reaction and I'm not even like that much
- 9:56Speaker 1: of a baby person, and I've never felt like that
- 9:58Speaker 1: for a friend's I don't know how a friend to
- 10:00Speaker 1: have a child before. And the goodest thing though, like
- 10:04Speaker 1: Tanner and I loved it. Well, then I saw her
- 10:09Speaker 1: and then I go on Etsy and I'm like, I
- 10:10Speaker 1: need to buy emmy everything, Like it's funny to get
- 10:14Speaker 1: that bug. Do you want to dress her up in
- 10:16Speaker 1: like all the cutest things? Oh? Yeah No. I was
- 10:19Speaker 1: actually just folding all of her newborn clothing today because
- 10:22Speaker 1: she's officially grown out of it, and it was like
- 10:25Speaker 1: almost emotional for me. I'm like, how is she so
- 10:27Speaker 1: big now? But like I didn't realize how much stuff
- 10:30Speaker 1: I've actually bought her because there's i mean, baby stuff
- 10:34Speaker 1: is like endless. You could go completely broken. So are
- 10:37Speaker 1: you saving the baby clothes for possibly another child soon? Yeah?
- 10:41Speaker 1: I think so? I think so. No. Tanner and I
- 10:44Speaker 1: were joking um the other day because um, we conceived,
- 10:48Speaker 1: I mean while we were in the Bahamas, you know,
- 10:51Speaker 1: We're like, well, maybe we'll just conceive again when we're
- 10:53Speaker 1: all together in St. Lucia. That is so funny. My
- 10:56Speaker 1: sister said that exact same thing, like twelve hours ago.
- 10:59Speaker 1: She's like, they just need to start trying again, we
- 11:00Speaker 1: learn in St. Lucia. Yeah, well I told you, like
- 11:03Speaker 1: I missed being pregnant, and so um, I mean that
- 11:07Speaker 1: would be that would make them a little just like
- 11:09Speaker 1: thirteen months fourteen months apart, So that would be really fast. Yeah, Like,
- 11:15Speaker 1: I don't know, I just want another one, Jada, you
- 11:18Speaker 1: gotta fill me in here. I need some infilm. I
- 11:20Speaker 1: think you. I just heard you say, and tell me
- 11:22Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. You miss being pregnant? Oh my god?
- 11:26Speaker 1: Is that a common feeling you think? I don't know,
- 11:29Speaker 1: but like I look at pictures of myself being pregnant,
- 11:31Speaker 1: and I like, I missed it so much. It's just
- 11:34Speaker 1: like the it's the coolest thing to feel like the
- 11:36Speaker 1: child inside you and just like how you feel as
- 11:39Speaker 1: a woman. I don't even know how. I mean, maybe
- 11:41Speaker 1: all women feel this way, but I just I don't know.
- 11:44Speaker 1: It's the weirdest thing, Like I miss it. So you
- 11:46Speaker 1: forget all about the throwing up and you had a
- 11:48Speaker 1: pretty rough to to three months. Yeah, no, I was.
- 11:53Speaker 1: I was sick from like six weeks pregnant to the
- 11:56Speaker 1: thirteen weeks pregnant. I was really a really bad morning
- 11:59Speaker 1: sickness where all I could eat was bagel. But yeah,
- 12:04Speaker 1: you just kind of forget that and you're like, oh, whatever,
- 12:07Speaker 1: I mean, it's worth it though, right, Oh my god,
- 12:10Speaker 1: it's totally worth it. I it's funny, Jade. As as
- 12:13Speaker 1: I'm sitting here even talking to you, I think back
- 12:15Speaker 1: on all my experiences with Tanner and when I first
- 12:17Speaker 1: met Tanner, and and just the person that Tanner um
- 12:21Speaker 1: has been throughout this whole process, from starting at the
- 12:24Speaker 1: bachelorette to now, you know, being your husband. Um, you
- 12:29Speaker 1: know there and you might be I want to give
- 12:31Speaker 1: Tanner some credit. The one thing Tanner never did on
- 12:33Speaker 1: the on all the batchel he never changed who he was.
- 12:36Speaker 1: You could always tell he was authentic and he was genuine,
- 12:39Speaker 1: and he was compassionate, He was caring, and he was
- 12:41Speaker 1: he was the kind of the clown of the house
- 12:44Speaker 1: because he knew so much about the bachelorette that I
- 12:47Speaker 1: remember sitting in Dublin with him and honestly, there's four
- 12:49Speaker 1: of us sitting in the room and three of us
- 12:51Speaker 1: are asking him questions about how many people get cut
- 12:54Speaker 1: on this on this episode or this week of the show,
- 12:56Speaker 1: and are we traveling next week? And how exactly do
- 12:59Speaker 1: rose ceremonies work. Tanner was the only person in the
- 13:01Speaker 1: house that I felt like had it was a legitimate
- 13:04Speaker 1: fan of the show. No, it's so funny that, you know,
- 13:08Speaker 1: he's kind of the one that ended up actually being
- 13:10Speaker 1: a success story because he was like people would call
- 13:12Speaker 1: him the Bachelor Almanac because he's just like everything, but
- 13:17Speaker 1: I mean he really is. He's been funny. All my
- 13:20Speaker 1: friends love him. He's such a good looking dude. And
- 13:22Speaker 1: now he's back to work. What is life like where
- 13:26Speaker 1: you get off the show? You're living in this beautiful
- 13:28Speaker 1: home in Kansas City, you have a child, but now
- 13:32Speaker 1: Tanner goes to work nine to five? Like is that
- 13:34Speaker 1: is that a weird transition? It's kind of yeah, it's
- 13:38Speaker 1: a weird transition because it's normal life. It's not normal
- 13:41Speaker 1: life because you go on this show and now like
- 13:44Speaker 1: we still can't even you know, go to dinner about
- 13:47Speaker 1: people approaching us, especially now that we have Emmy and uh,
- 13:50Speaker 1: you know you want to you kind of have this
- 13:52Speaker 1: aspect of normal life because he worked fifty hours a
- 13:55Speaker 1: week and I only see you know, he I only
- 13:58Speaker 1: see him at certain times because he's because he had
- 14:00Speaker 1: the real job. But yet you still have this like
- 14:03Speaker 1: I want to like same but just like where people
- 14:05Speaker 1: still like know you and like want to interact with
- 14:08Speaker 1: you because they see your Instagram and stuff. So it's
- 14:10Speaker 1: it's a strange in between land, you know, because we're
- 14:14Speaker 1: settled down, we're not in l A going to all
- 14:16Speaker 1: the cool events and you know, kind of living more
- 14:18Speaker 1: of a celebrity life, but we still have that weird aspects.
- 14:22Speaker 1: I don't know, it's kind of strange. I mean, but
- 14:24Speaker 1: is life good, like explained to a little bit of
- 14:27Speaker 1: our listeners, like how the transition has been and how
- 14:29Speaker 1: good it's become, how terrible it is. No, it's really good.
- 14:35Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we found the person that we wanna,
- 14:38Speaker 1: you know, do this life with, and we have our
- 14:41Speaker 1: own little family now. And Kansas City is a little cold.
- 14:44Speaker 1: I could deal about this cold temps already, but it's
- 14:47Speaker 1: a good place to raise kids, and you know, we're
- 14:50Speaker 1: just we're just trucking along talk about Jenner Manner and
- 14:54Speaker 1: how it finally got finished and now you have a
- 14:56Speaker 1: new baby, a new house and you just take all
- 14:59Speaker 1: these the wonderful fall foliage walks with Emmy and the
- 15:04Speaker 1: two doggies, and you guys are just literally the picture
- 15:06Speaker 1: perfect American dream. I mean, our life is not perfect.
- 15:12Speaker 1: We do have our issues, but yeah, I mean I
- 15:14Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think I could ask for anything else.
- 15:18Speaker 1: I mean, my life is very and I feel very fortunate,
- 15:21Speaker 1: and I feel very blessed. And you know, to use
- 15:24Speaker 1: me is last hashtag blessed. But where did you live
- 15:30Speaker 1: before Kansas City? I lived in l A. So I so,
- 15:35Speaker 1: how is that? Uh? Yeah, so, so I moved to
- 15:44Speaker 1: l A after I got out of like a big relationship,
- 15:47Speaker 1: you know, just kind of like if I don't ever
- 15:49Speaker 1: go now, I never will. And I loved it. And then,
- 15:53Speaker 1: like through a bunch of different circumstances, I got on
- 15:56Speaker 1: the show because I knew someone who worked on the show,
- 15:59Speaker 1: and I was like, all right, I guess I'll try this.
- 16:01Speaker 1: And then I thought I would never ever ever come
- 16:03Speaker 1: back to the Midwest. And then I remember the very
- 16:06Speaker 1: first dame in Paradise. I asked Hannah where he was from,
- 16:09Speaker 1: and he was like, Kansas City, And I was like,
- 16:11Speaker 1: oh no, did you know right away? Yeah, I did.
- 16:19Speaker 1: It's people like to say, oh, you know that that
- 16:22Speaker 1: doesn't happen, but many he came down the stairs and
- 16:26Speaker 1: I and I saw him. I just knew. I was like,
- 16:29Speaker 1: I'm in trouble because I wanted to go on the
- 16:32Speaker 1: show and just have fun with my girlfriend Carly and
- 16:35Speaker 1: just see what would happen with like my friends, I
- 16:38Speaker 1: had no intentions of falling in love, and it was
- 16:41Speaker 1: just it was instant. It was so weird. I had
- 16:43Speaker 1: no interest in anyone else. It's so cool, and I
- 16:46Speaker 1: wish if there was like somebody, if there's somebody in
- 16:50Speaker 1: my life that I could wish for all of our

- 28:07Speaker 1: I read your book before I went for casting. Um,
- 28:12Speaker 1: so I was in the midst of reading it when
- 28:14Speaker 1: I went to the hotel and I was one of
- 28:16Speaker 1: the top fifty girls and uh, I walked into that
- 28:19Speaker 1: room where you know, they pretend like you're going to
- 28:22Speaker 1: meet with like the background check lady, but you really
- 28:24Speaker 1: walk in and um, there's like twenty producers there. But
- 28:29Speaker 1: I was fully warned because of your book, so I
- 28:32Speaker 1: knew exactly what I was walking into. And then I
- 28:35Speaker 1: come into the room and instead of being like, oh
- 28:37Speaker 1: my gosh, I're like hey, I was like, hey, guys,
- 28:40Speaker 1: you're gonna be here because I read Courtney's book, and

- 28:45Speaker 1: just let everybody know Courtney. Sorry to cut you off
- 28:47Speaker 1: here for a second. Um, when you go into casting
- 28:49Speaker 1: for the batch, there's like a surprise room where there's
- 28:51Speaker 1: a bunch of people sitting there getting kind of ready
- 28:53Speaker 1: interview you. That's what Ashley is talking about. And and
- 28:55Speaker 1: Courtney released it in her book, which what's the name
- 28:57Speaker 1: of the book, Courtney, Um, it was called I Didn't

- 29:05Speaker 1: been a lot of bachelor books out there. This one
- 29:07Speaker 1: is going to keep your attention at such a page turner.

- 29:13Speaker 1: I could help prepare you a little bit, Ashley, And
- 29:16Speaker 1: I know I think it's crazy that we haven't met yet.
- 29:18Speaker 1: I'm like, I feel like I know you because I
- 29:19Speaker 1: follow you on social media and I love your stories.
- 29:22Speaker 1: So I'm happy. A big fan of Almost Famous podcast, right. Uh.
- 29:28Speaker 1: You know, I have listened a couple of times, but
- 29:31Speaker 1: I haven't heard all of them. But you guys are great.
- 29:34Speaker 1: You have a great voice. Ben for this, he certainly does.
- 29:39Speaker 1: We haven't met either, courney in here. So just to
- 29:41Speaker 1: give our listeners a little heads up, how would our
- 29:44Speaker 1: listeners know you? Can you give us a little background? Um? Yeah,
- 29:48Speaker 1: So I am a little bit um. You know, my
- 29:50Speaker 1: season was about six years ago. I was on then
- 29:54Speaker 1: s season, which, by the way, people always ask we
- 29:57Speaker 1: what season are you on? Like Ben's and people all
- 30:00Speaker 1: He's asked like, they're like, oh my god, the really
- 30:02Speaker 1: cute guy. They confused my Ben with you, so he
- 30:05Speaker 1: wasn't really and I'm like, nope, nope, different Ben the winemaker.
- 30:14Speaker 1: So I actually was ye season sixteen and I ended
- 30:19Speaker 1: up getting engaged and we tried to make it work
- 30:22Speaker 1: for about a year. Ben. I know you know how
- 30:23Speaker 1: that that goes, and ultimately we didn't work out. But
- 30:28Speaker 1: since then, I've moved on and you know, I just uh,
- 30:32Speaker 1: I lived in l A for fourteen years, was modeling,
- 30:34Speaker 1: and I moved back to my hometown a year ago, Arizona. Well,
- 30:40Speaker 1: you know, as much as you want to share, um,
- 30:43Speaker 1: what was your experience post Bachelor, I'm interested in that because, uh,
- 30:47Speaker 1: post Bachelor at because you did get engaged. Yeah, so
- 30:50Speaker 1: we got engaged in Switzerland and then you know, I
- 30:53Speaker 1: was flying up to San Francisco like twice a month,
- 30:56Speaker 1: you know how long distance goes, and uh, trying make
- 31:00Speaker 1: it work and dealing with I didn't really prepare myself
- 31:03Speaker 1: for being in a public relationships, you know. And I
- 31:07Speaker 1: never had really watched the show religiously, so I didn't
- 31:11Speaker 1: really you know, and I was a villain of my season,
- 31:14Speaker 1: so I definitely kind of had to like learn and
- 31:17Speaker 1: learn as I go. And but yeah, no, definitely was hard. Um.
- 31:22Speaker 1: And then the breakup happened and people were like, oh no,
- 31:24Speaker 1: like rooting for us, and then I was surprised to
- 31:27Speaker 1: see how many people are actually wanting us to make
- 31:30Speaker 1: it work. It was so funny because like, you were
- 31:33Speaker 1: the villain. But I could tell, and especially now that
- 31:35Speaker 1: I've been through the process, that you always said, oh
- 31:37Speaker 1: I thought it was being funny. There are so many
- 31:39Speaker 1: things that I would say in the in the inn,
- 31:42Speaker 1: in the moment interview room where I'd be like, I
- 31:46Speaker 1: t M. I'd be like, oh my god, that was hilarious,
- 31:49Speaker 1: and I'd be like, I was so Courtney Robertson. But
- 31:51Speaker 1: then you watch it back and then you're like, yeah,
- 31:53Speaker 1: I guess that's not funny. It's the majority of America.
- 31:56Speaker 1: The funniest thing is the villain. Because I do know
- 31:59Speaker 1: Courtney well, we've hung out a lot of times, and
- 32:02Speaker 1: she's the least villain, so it is funny that as
- 32:08Speaker 1: one of the biggest villains ever. Yeah, really you really
- 32:11Speaker 1: did handle that, you know, the toughs. For me, it
- 32:14Speaker 1: definitely was hard. I was like, you know, I wanted
- 32:17Speaker 1: just like fairy tale ending and I'm hopeless romantic and
- 32:20Speaker 1: you know, but my bend wasn't handling it very well either,
- 32:24Speaker 1: you know. I mean, You're going on Ellen's de generous
- 32:26Speaker 1: and she's sitting there saying like she played you, and
- 32:30Speaker 1: uh so, yeah, I was disappointed. I kind of left
- 32:33Speaker 1: filming and I was you know, felt like I was
- 32:35Speaker 1: loved and found it. And then real life sunk in
- 32:39Speaker 1: and the first episode air and I was like, oh boy,
- 32:41Speaker 1: I'm in trouble. The number two. Uh it was Lindsay
- 32:46Speaker 1: Lindsay Cox nothing. I have nothing I do. I remember
- 32:50Speaker 1: me too. I have no idea. I just remember I
- 32:52Speaker 1: was like all about rooting for the villain in your season.
- 32:55Speaker 1: We just loved it. I love watching you. You were
- 32:58Speaker 1: hilarious on your season and I can't believe I have
- 33:02Speaker 1: never met you guys. I'm kind of old school though,
- 33:04Speaker 1: you know, so Cotney, this randomly came up earlier then
- 33:13Speaker 1: Ben f and Chris Jenner. I was going to ask,
- 33:16Speaker 1: what was that? Oh boy, oh boy? Um, well, you know,
- 33:21Speaker 1: it's funny. I was getting a lot of calls on that,
- 33:23Speaker 1: and you know, he denied that publicly. But it's funny
- 33:28Speaker 1: because once you kind of go through like the media
- 33:30Speaker 1: thing and the media storm, I kind of have allies
- 33:33Speaker 1: now in some places, and uh, I don't know. To me,
- 33:37Speaker 1: it sounded like something was going on in Mexico, but
- 33:40Speaker 1: I could be wrong. I think you're friends. Friends don't
- 33:44Speaker 1: cuddle and bathing nobody else. Such a weird couple, but
- 33:50Speaker 1: Chris Jenner is a Bachelor fan, so she may have
- 33:53Speaker 1: slid into the d MS whatever that was back in
- 33:55Speaker 1: two thousand, not sledding into the DMS. Actually she was
- 34:00Speaker 1: on my you know what I mean, though she had
- 34:02Speaker 1: her people called her these people. We were hanging out
- 34:06Speaker 1: a lot, So it was an interesting friendship, that's for sure. Courtney. Um,
- 34:11Speaker 1: you wrote about your celebrity relationships in the book. You
- 34:14Speaker 1: actually dated Adrian Grenier and Darrell Butler before you were
- 34:19Speaker 1: on the Bachelor. You know, I've lived Yeah, I've lived
- 34:22Speaker 1: in all. I moved to l A when I was
- 34:23Speaker 1: nineteen and I was modeling, and um, yeah, you know,
- 34:26Speaker 1: I had definitely a couple of celebrity run in and
- 34:30Speaker 1: tried to try to do that. But just when I
- 34:32Speaker 1: was modeling, Um, nothing ever probably lasted or it's hard
- 34:37Speaker 1: to date actors for comedians, it's hard to date boys.
- 34:42Speaker 1: It seems like in the book that Adrian Grener was
- 34:45Speaker 1: kind of like a Mr Big for you, like he
- 34:47Speaker 1: was around for years. You guys were never really official,
- 34:50Speaker 1: but I just you just couldn't let it go. You know. Actually,
- 34:54Speaker 1: if I wish somebody back then would have been like
- 34:57Speaker 1: stop going backwards. They always tell you that I only
- 35:00Speaker 1: have a known to recycle old boyfriend, and it's one
- 35:05Speaker 1: of those things you know, you kind of you try
- 35:07Speaker 1: again and you're like, wait, this still isn't gonna work.
- 35:10Speaker 1: So I'm, you know, a new woman. I'm not recycling anymore. Good.
- 35:14Speaker 1: I'm so guilty of that. And those celebrity guys, they'll
- 35:17Speaker 1: like keep you coming back. Okay, so we got this
- 35:20Speaker 1: is our off season. Um, Courtney, we're just kind of
- 35:23Speaker 1: chilling right now in the studio. We're just talking about
- 35:25Speaker 1: life and whatever comes to comes into our lives. But
- 35:28Speaker 1: we are getting prepped for the next season the Bachelor,
- 35:31Speaker 1: which includes Ari Lindy somebody that you know well. Can
- 35:34Speaker 1: you give us a little rundown on how you know Ari,
- 35:36Speaker 1: how well you know Ari, and how you think he'll
- 35:40Speaker 1: be as the next Bachelor season twenty two? Yes, Um,
- 35:44Speaker 1: so as I am and kind of laying low. When
- 35:46Speaker 1: the neaves broke about Ari being the Bachelor, I got
- 35:49Speaker 1: obviously hounded, and um, you know I was with him
- 35:52Speaker 1: two nights before he left to go to New York
- 35:57Speaker 1: and we talked a lot about yeah, we're doing you
- 35:59Speaker 1: over together, and he kind of kept saying like how
- 36:00Speaker 1: do you feel about this? And what do you think?
- 36:03Speaker 1: And I mean, honestly, already is one of my best friends.
- 36:06Speaker 1: He's like family to me. So um, people have been
- 36:09Speaker 1: reaching out and you know, I'm like so loyal, like
- 36:12Speaker 1: almost loyal to a fault. So um, I think that
- 36:16Speaker 1: he's going to come back engaged. I will say that
- 36:19Speaker 1: I actually, do you watch Sex in the City? Yeah?
- 36:22Speaker 1: I just said that, Mr Big? I thought that he
- 36:24Speaker 1: was your Mr Big? Do I watch sex to say
- 36:27Speaker 1: the best? Yeah? So I think what's already his cab
- 36:30Speaker 1: lights on? Like, I think he's actually really ready? You
- 36:33Speaker 1: know that that's Corey and I are best friends? Like, yes,
- 36:39Speaker 1: I did. I did another podcast on my other podcast
- 36:42Speaker 1: about it. The whole episode about like is it really
- 36:45Speaker 1: when the light is on? Is that really what men
- 36:47Speaker 1: are all about? Courtney explained our audience who don't know
- 36:51Speaker 1: about the cab light what that means? I did not
- 36:54Speaker 1: just become best I'm sorry, well but we still have time.
- 36:58Speaker 1: There's still hope. So yeah, basically, it's you know, it's
- 37:02Speaker 1: like in New York, Um, you know, dating in New York,
- 37:05Speaker 1: and like when the guy is ready to settle settle
- 37:07Speaker 1: down the next cab that comes along. When their cab
- 37:10Speaker 1: light is on is typically right. Actually, their cab lights on,
- 37:14Speaker 1: that means that they're ready, they're ready to settle down.
- 37:17Speaker 1: And I believe that's already. I think he's reached that point. Um,
- 37:21Speaker 1: we've talked a lot. I know, his whole past, everything,
- 37:24Speaker 1: his dating life. There's a reason breakup and then some
- 37:28Speaker 1: So I just I know he's really ready and I'm
- 37:32Speaker 1: excited for him. But also we have a history. We
- 37:35Speaker 1: you know, we dated, we've dated on and off again,
- 37:38Speaker 1: not recycling. Uh So I don't know if I'll be watching,
- 37:44Speaker 1: but I'm going to be supporting and rooting. You know,
- 37:48Speaker 1: I'll be in his corner. And we've already talked to
- 37:50Speaker 1: him like the negativity, and I've had some good talks
- 37:53Speaker 1: about it. So but I missed him. He's like my
- 37:55Speaker 1: best friend and I haven't been able to talk to
- 37:57Speaker 1: him because he's off filming. So, um, you know, So
- 38:01Speaker 1: why wouldn't you watch your best Friends season? Well, you know,
- 38:06Speaker 1: I just think it's one of those things. I don't know.
- 38:09Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't know. I haven't decided. Maybe
- 38:12Speaker 1: I will, but you wouldn't want to watch your s
- 38:15Speaker 1: and get go on and date people. No, not a
- 38:19Speaker 1: shot that would be I mean, I don't know if
- 38:23Speaker 1: hard is the word to say, just be very uncomfortable,
- 38:25Speaker 1: it would I would always be on edge. It just
- 38:27Speaker 1: isn't a healthy habit probably to get into which I
- 38:29Speaker 1: don't know, have to have it. How many people can
- 38:30Speaker 1: say I watched my X date on National Time. That
- 38:33Speaker 1: gives me that feeling uncomfortable, just uncomfortable, not healthy. Corney,
- 38:39Speaker 1: I gotta ask you. We've talked about it many times
- 38:40Speaker 1: on the podcast because our listeners emails about it constantly,
- 38:44Speaker 1: and it really is relatable to everybody out there. Um,
- 38:47Speaker 1: you've hung out with are your friends with? Ari? Ari
- 38:50Speaker 1: comes back engauge? Does it change your relationship with him?
- 38:54Speaker 1: Good questions? Well, you know, I think so. I think
- 38:59Speaker 1: it has to to be honest with you. I mean,
- 39:01Speaker 1: we we hang out a lot, we do a lot
- 39:04Speaker 1: of things together, and we were actually just working on
- 39:06Speaker 1: a house together, renovating a place, and you know we're
- 39:10Speaker 1: both in real estate. So but apart from that, UM,
- 39:14Speaker 1: I you know, I think so. I think I said
- 39:17Speaker 1: I don't. I think he would disagree because him and
- 39:19Speaker 1: I have had this conversation before. But I just think
- 39:22Speaker 1: ultimately for his new fiance, like he said something like, whoa,
- 39:26Speaker 1: they're going to have to be be okay with you
- 39:27Speaker 1: being in my life. I'm like, are that's that's really
- 39:31Speaker 1: that's a big as it is, So I what do you?
- 39:35Speaker 1: I mean? I don't know what your thoughts are, but
- 39:36Speaker 1: I think at some point you just kind of got
- 39:38Speaker 1: to cut the umbilical cord a little bit. You know. Well,
- 39:40Speaker 1: it's really mature. I mean, honestly, it's really mature of you, which, um,
- 39:43Speaker 1: from everything here, I wouldn't expect me different, but to
- 39:46Speaker 1: think that way, that's an interesting conversation because sometimes if
- 39:48Speaker 1: the girl is grandfathered in, you know what I mean,
- 39:51Speaker 1: like she was there first, sometimes has been kissing, if
- 39:54Speaker 1: there's been like dating involved, I think that changes things.
- 39:58Speaker 1: And and Forcording to say, okay, are you know? I
- 40:00Speaker 1: love you, but I'm gonna give you some space here
- 40:02Speaker 1: and let you pursue his relationship, that is very mature.
- 40:04Speaker 1: Because in my situation, I had a couple of friends
- 40:06Speaker 1: that were girls who I actually had never dated, but
- 40:09Speaker 1: we're friends before the show, um, and once I got
- 40:12Speaker 1: back home with Lauren, they were very pushy about why
- 40:15Speaker 1: or why is our friendship not the same, and it
- 40:16Speaker 1: just couldn't be I had I had a woman that
- 40:19Speaker 1: I was confiding and I had that that void filled.
- 40:22Speaker 1: I couldn't be as close of friends with him as
- 40:23Speaker 1: I wanted to be. Yeah, I always wonder that with
- 40:26Speaker 1: Jared and myself, like if when one of us gets
- 40:29Speaker 1: into a serious relationship, I don't think it would be
- 40:31Speaker 1: possible to be as close as we are now, or
- 40:32Speaker 1: at least spend as much time together now. I think
- 40:34Speaker 1: that's so. I think that's the healthiest, the most mature
- 40:37Speaker 1: thing to do. And I think in the past Ari
- 40:39Speaker 1: and I have actually let it interfere with other relationships
- 40:42Speaker 1: and and I don't. I can't be that person. I'm
- 40:46Speaker 1: not going to be the person that, uh, you know,
- 40:49Speaker 1: it doesn't work over if, that's for sure. But I'll
- 40:51Speaker 1: be supporting and we'll have to talk about it when
- 40:54Speaker 1: he gets back. But I'm actually I started seeing somebody
- 40:57Speaker 1: that I really like. So yeah, yeah, And when you
- 41:01Speaker 1: meet somebody you really like, I mean, I think it's
- 41:04Speaker 1: like you want to forsake all others, you know. Yeah, Um,
- 41:08Speaker 1: we gotta get a little little pig thirteen right now? Okay. Well,
- 41:15Speaker 1: Ari is known as the Kissing bandit and even though
- 41:18Speaker 1: I was, I was, I don't want to say oddly,
- 41:21Speaker 1: but from what I know now, oddly team Jeff during
- 41:23Speaker 1: Emily's season, I cannot say that Ari's kissing didn't look delightful.
- 41:29Speaker 1: Certainly did Um? I think you talked about how are
- 41:32Speaker 1: he was like your best in bed ever in the book? Well,
- 41:38Speaker 1: I wrote the book like FI five years ago, so
- 41:43Speaker 1: things that maybe you know I mean. But I will
- 41:48Speaker 1: say he's a very passionate person. So and his kissing
- 41:51Speaker 1: is on point. It's good kissing. Yeah, he's definitely a
- 41:54Speaker 1: good kisser. And I've even like seen some of those
- 41:57Speaker 1: spoilers and when I got Yeph his hands up around yeah,
- 42:00Speaker 1: like yes, I'm trying to figure it out here. I've
- 42:04Speaker 1: been practicing on my pillow and on my balloon. Fill
- 42:08Speaker 1: me in a little bit. Do you said the shower
- 42:09Speaker 1: wall once the used to practice on the shower wall.
- 42:12Speaker 1: I will practice on anything that increases my talents. So
- 42:15Speaker 1: what you're telling me, Cordy that it's the hands because
- 42:18Speaker 1: As is a big hand person. Um, it's because when
- 42:21Speaker 1: I watch him and this is just me, I don't
- 42:23Speaker 1: know Ari, I'm honestly, this is but and this is
- 42:25Speaker 1: not making fun of him, well, yes it is. Um,
- 42:28Speaker 1: he looks like he's sucking your face off. We like
- 42:31Speaker 1: that very lippy. Cordy tell us, Okay, what is it
- 42:35Speaker 1: about Ari or just what is your advice for men
- 42:37Speaker 1: out there kissing in general? How are you? How do
- 42:40Speaker 1: you become a good kisser? You know? I think I'm
- 42:45Speaker 1: sure you're doing just fine. And you know, especially all
- 42:49Speaker 1: that practice you got over there. But yeah, the hands
- 42:52Speaker 1: are a muss and Ari rhoda sidebar in my book
- 42:55Speaker 1: about kissing chips, and uh yeah, I think that's using
- 42:59Speaker 1: your hands and pulling him close. It's like a whole
- 43:02Speaker 1: he's like, he's not a kiss with your whole body.
- 43:05Speaker 1: But also like not too much tongue, like right, you know,
- 43:09Speaker 1: thank you, and you know, having your knife with hopes
- 43:13Speaker 1: and you know, one little trick I think that is
- 43:16Speaker 1: great is like the bottom of the tongue over at
- 43:19Speaker 1: the top. If that's not hopefully that's now I get it.
- 43:23Speaker 1: That's totally fine under there, you know, the bottom of
- 43:28Speaker 1: the tongue over the top, hands on the back of
- 43:30Speaker 1: the head, maybe a little lip biting. Um. You know.
- 43:33Speaker 1: The one thing I think we had an email calling.
- 43:35Speaker 1: The one thing that people seem to not like is
- 43:37Speaker 1: the like soft like is that weird? The little humming
- 43:41Speaker 1: it's like a humming noises. Somebody emailed about it, the humming.
- 43:45Speaker 1: That's not good, right, and some people think that's passion. Um,
- 43:49Speaker 1: I think you can do a little bit, a little
- 43:51Speaker 1: a little um a sound to make me feel like
- 43:53Speaker 1: you think I'm super hot? That works, Courney. What else
- 44:00Speaker 1: is going on? So, so you're excited or you might
- 44:02Speaker 1: not watch our season, but you think he's going to
- 44:04Speaker 1: do great um during our season? And currently in your life,
- 44:07Speaker 1: what are you up to? Like? Tell us any new projects,
- 44:10Speaker 1: any new anything going on in your life that you're
- 44:12Speaker 1: excited about. Okay, well sorry, um let's see one. I'm
- 44:18Speaker 1: working in real estate and I'm my sister is getting
- 44:21Speaker 1: ready to have her third baby. I'm actually she's going
- 44:24Speaker 1: into labor right now. Oh my gosh, it's so exciting.
- 44:28Speaker 1: I'm going to be an aunt for the third time.
- 44:30Speaker 1: And I'm just like so happy being near my family
- 44:33Speaker 1: and I've got this new healthy relationship. But I'm enjoying
- 44:37Speaker 1: and life is good. I'm I'm still writing. Um, I
- 44:41Speaker 1: was going down the path of writing another book. And
- 44:44Speaker 1: I just decided that I didn't really want to put
- 44:47Speaker 1: more of my personal life out there, so I had
- 44:49Speaker 1: it all ready to go. But I'm working on a
- 44:52Speaker 1: couple other little like I call it my side hustles,
- 44:55Speaker 1: like my little passion projects on the side. So I'm
- 44:59Speaker 1: happy it's on. I'm being creative. So yeah, that's kind
- 45:02Speaker 1: of boring stuff that I'm that I got going on. No,
- 45:05Speaker 1: it sounds great. It sounds so good, and it's been
- 45:08Speaker 1: so great talking to you. I have a whole bunch
- 45:10Speaker 1: of other questions I've written down on my paper that

- 47:49Speaker 1: eat it so that we smell the same. We don't
- 47:51Speaker 1: smell each other. Um, Hey, you know what I know
- 47:55Speaker 1: This is a little off our rundown right now, but
- 47:57Speaker 1: I think it's important. Um, I gotta tweet this week
- 48:00Speaker 1: that said, you guys should do a who the heck
- 48:02Speaker 1: is Amy? Because Amy is always interjecting on my body
- 48:06Speaker 1: emails about that and I just deleted them all. So
- 48:08Speaker 1: why don't we do who the heck is Amy? Anything
- 48:11Speaker 1: you want? Amy sugar Man here for the Almost Famous podcast?
- 48:15Speaker 1: Say that, Who the heck are you? Amy? Who the
- 48:19Speaker 1: heck are you? What do you want to know? Amy?
- 48:22Speaker 1: I want to know your first, last name, birthday, social
- 48:24Speaker 1: Security number? Now, Amy, can you give our listeners a
- 48:28Speaker 1: little bit of background of who you are, how you
- 48:30Speaker 1: got to know Ashley and I? And also I think
- 48:32Speaker 1: it would be really interesting if if the listeners heard
- 48:35Speaker 1: where Almost Famous came from because it is your brain child. Yes, okay.
- 48:38Speaker 1: So I have been working with Ryan Seacrest for over
- 48:43Speaker 1: twenty years. We met when we were very young, so
- 48:48Speaker 1: i'd produced Ryan Seacrest. One of Ryan seacrest producers is
- 48:51Speaker 1: a radio show, and then I produced Mario Lopez and
- 48:54Speaker 1: a lot of radio shows for I Heart Radio. So
- 48:57Speaker 1: I guess it was like in my garage, in my building,
- 49:04Speaker 1: I was talking to Ben on the phone and in
- 49:07Speaker 1: the garage. I had sort of been brewing an idea
- 49:10Speaker 1: about doing a show like this, and we were talking.
- 49:16Speaker 1: I said, let me call you back. In ten minutes,
- 49:18Speaker 1: I called Ashley. I said I have it. Let's do
- 49:21Speaker 1: a show with you and Ben. I called our team
- 49:24Speaker 1: at iHeart Radio and said, can we do this? Here's
- 49:27Speaker 1: here's what we need. They said yes, and twenty minutes
- 49:30Speaker 1: later we had a show like what was your kind
- 49:33Speaker 1: of theme around the show and what did you want
- 49:35Speaker 1: to get out of the almost famous podcast? Uh? My
- 49:37Speaker 1: goal originally is basically what we're doing was sort of
- 49:40Speaker 1: a show based around Bachelor. So I've been around with
- 49:44Speaker 1: Ryan for twenty years. So we met Chris Harrison twenty
- 49:47Speaker 1: years ago when all this started, um, and we've been
- 49:50Speaker 1: covering the show for that long. I've been covering The
- 49:53Speaker 1: Bachelor on probably fifteen different shows, radio shows, TV shows, etcetera, etcetera.
- 50:02Speaker 1: And so I knew people cared about it. And I
- 50:04Speaker 1: hang out with you guys all the time and we
- 50:05Speaker 1: go places, and people care and they're always asking questions.
- 50:08Speaker 1: So I thought, let's find a way to answer all
- 50:10Speaker 1: their questions on the radio. I love it. I love
- 50:13Speaker 1: it here we are coming up with this idea. So yeah,
- 50:16Speaker 1: I go back to the very beginning with Chris Harrison. So,
- 50:18Speaker 1: Chris Harrison and I have been very very close, close friends.
- 50:23Speaker 1: We've never kissed close since day one, and we're like
- 50:27Speaker 1: best friends and so we you know, she calls him
- 50:30Speaker 1: with all her boy troubles. I literally have called Chris
- 50:32Speaker 1: Harrison crying on average, I'd like to say once a month.
- 50:39Speaker 1: It papered off a bit. I did have a hiccup
- 50:41Speaker 1: the other day where I called him bawling and he
- 50:44Speaker 1: answers and it's like that trigger or he answers like
- 50:48Speaker 1: I'm here, and it just the tears just start going
- 50:51Speaker 1: and then he fixes it pretty quick. So I mean,
- 50:53Speaker 1: that's something I want to know. I mean, you know,
- 50:56Speaker 1: I love Chris. I think he is one of the
- 50:58Speaker 1: best dudes I've ever met. Um is he is good
- 51:01Speaker 1: with UM advice and relationship advice and kind of processing
- 51:04Speaker 1: with you in real life as he is on The Bachelor. Yes,
- 51:07Speaker 1: ten times better. Isn't it cool that you have the
- 51:10Speaker 1: dude like the Bachelor guy also be your right hand
- 51:14Speaker 1: man when it comes to relationships. Here's why he's amazing
- 51:17Speaker 1: and we'll have him on. He wants to come on soon.
- 51:19Speaker 1: But the reason he's so amazing, and I think it
- 51:21Speaker 1: translates to the show because in real life, I mean
- 51:24Speaker 1: I call him with real relationship problems, and he went
- 51:28Speaker 1: through a relationship with me for like two years where
- 51:31Speaker 1: repeatedly I was calling upset the same thing over and
- 51:35Speaker 1: over and over again, and he would just say, are
- 51:37Speaker 1: we done now? Like are we done with this guy now?
- 51:40Speaker 1: Can we be done now? And I would continually just
- 51:43Speaker 1: repeat the same mistake over and over again, and he
- 51:45Speaker 1: would just be there like a rock, like should be
- 51:47Speaker 1: done now, and he'd give advice. Interestingly, one of the
- 51:50Speaker 1: things he feels strongly about is like that Courtney probably
- 51:53Speaker 1: shouldn't watch Ari Like he always was like, don't look
- 51:56Speaker 1: at their instagrams, don't look at an excess Facebook, Like,
- 51:59Speaker 1: don't put that in your mind. And by the thirtieth
- 52:03Speaker 1: time he says it, he's there all thirty times. I mean,
- 52:06Speaker 1: that's the part that we don't want to forget, is
- 52:08Speaker 1: every time, even if you don't listen, I mean we're
- 52:11Speaker 1: talking middle of the night calls, when he's in Switzerland
- 52:15Speaker 1: or when he's in wherever. I mean, just This is
- 52:18Speaker 1: the Chris you've known forever. This isn't hasn't formed from
- 52:20Speaker 1: the show. This is Chris Harrison's character, his personality, his style,
- 52:24Speaker 1: his his just passion for friendships because he's been for
- 52:27Speaker 1: the last twenty years a bedrock for you to fall
- 52:29Speaker 1: back on. And I mean I was there, Like when
- 52:34Speaker 1: he called me. I don't think he would mind me
- 52:36Speaker 1: telling the story when he called me to tell me
- 52:38Speaker 1: he was getting divorced. I mean I cried and cried
- 52:41Speaker 1: like it was. I mean, obviously more devastating to him,
- 52:46Speaker 1: but like I love his ex wife, like I know
- 52:49Speaker 1: his I've seen his kids grow up. So he's just
- 52:52Speaker 1: the greatest dude. And people that watch the show, I'm
- 52:55Speaker 1: sure they see that, but they don't see it as
- 52:57Speaker 1: much as he really is, and they don't know if
- 52:59Speaker 1: it's an acting, right, I get that question a lot.
- 53:01Speaker 1: Is Chris Harrison really that great? As he really cared
- 53:03Speaker 1: that much? Um? Is he? Is he just a really
- 53:06Speaker 1: good actor? Is he faking it? And my my response
- 53:09Speaker 1: is always the Chris I know, the Chris and I
- 53:12Speaker 1: spent time with outside of the show, on the golf
- 53:14Speaker 1: course or at at his house with his kids. Is
- 53:18Speaker 1: that same guy. He just cares a ton and people
- 53:20Speaker 1: it's it's crazy. And you know, talk about life in
- 53:23Speaker 1: l A. When you go around with Chris and you
- 53:25Speaker 1: see friends of as, you can tell it's legitimate friendships,
- 53:28Speaker 1: Like they love him as a friend and he's famous,
- 53:31Speaker 1: so he could be at every Hollywood party and whatever
- 53:33Speaker 1: he wants, and he wants to know part of it.
- 53:34Speaker 1: He wants to do stuff with his kids, play golf
- 53:37Speaker 1: and like watch football. Like he's just the coolest guy.
- 53:41Speaker 1: I mean literally, if I needed anything, he would do it.
- 53:44Speaker 1: That's amazing. So then, uh, we're here with the almost
- 53:46Speaker 1: famous podcast Amy's Little brain Child. Um, you've produced, helped
- 53:50Speaker 1: produce Seacrest and Marlo Lopez for years. You help out
- 53:53Speaker 1: with I Heart Radio. Your your specialty has been what
- 53:56Speaker 1: what would you say your your biggest skill set is
- 53:58Speaker 1: when it comes to this kind of end street in
- 54:00Speaker 1: this world, my management, Like how do you do it?
- 54:03Speaker 1: My specialty is I book celebrities for shows, TV shows,
- 54:09Speaker 1: radio shows, concerts events. Uh, and then I create shows
- 54:14Speaker 1: like this. Yeah, So I mean that's it. So when
- 54:16Speaker 1: when we talk on the podcast about you know, Jennifer
- 54:20Speaker 1: Gardner and you're like, I haven't told Jennifer Garners, I mean,
- 54:22Speaker 1: I'm not actually tight with her, but I could probably
- 54:24Speaker 1: make that happen. To make it happen. So the whole
- 54:26Speaker 1: what I was trying to get to is that Amy
- 54:28Speaker 1: is is connected in that world to kind of help
- 54:30Speaker 1: people in l A get connected with shows or help
- 54:34Speaker 1: promote their their products or books or what anything coming out.
- 54:37Speaker 1: She just is a connector. That's your skill set. I
- 54:39Speaker 1: would say you're a great connector, but seriously, how do
- 54:42Speaker 1: you have time to do Mario, to do Ryan, to
- 54:44Speaker 1: do the three podcasts you've created here at I Heart,

- 55:08Speaker 1: It's the only way you can like put food on
- 55:09Speaker 1: the table. I'm feeling that right now. You know, here's
- 55:12Speaker 1: the deal. So at the beginning, you like that here's
- 55:14Speaker 1: the deal. That's my go to line. I'm just gonna
- 55:16Speaker 1: keep it. I say, get this, Okay, so get this.
- 55:18Speaker 1: I'd say that it's the exact same thing. So my taglines,
- 55:21Speaker 1: here's the deal. Um. When we first started this podcast,
- 55:25Speaker 1: I think listeners were confused exactly who Amy was. Like
- 55:28Speaker 1: there was just this third voice that would pop up
- 55:30Speaker 1: out of the background, out of nowhere and give her opinion.
- 55:32Speaker 1: Now listeners are starting to get familiar with Amy. Now
- 55:34Speaker 1: you know Amy better from the who the heck are you? Segments?
- 55:37Speaker 1: She is the brainshow behind this? Yeah? Actually great idea there,
- 55:40Speaker 1: all of our listeners. Amy makes this happen, So please
- 55:44Speaker 1: be kind to her or be really really honest and
- 55:49Speaker 1: really really mean. She can take it. She's a tough nut. Hey,
- 55:53Speaker 1: It's painful, though, I will say, it's like okay, yeah,
- 55:57Speaker 1: And if you if you like listening to Amy and
- 55:59Speaker 1: you to hook her up with some other man that
- 56:02Speaker 1: you know and you think maybe she'll get along with them,
- 56:05Speaker 1: you can also turn this into a dating showing not
- 56:07Speaker 1: happening ship on this podcast. And I feel like I'm
- 56:12Speaker 1: quite handled. Okay, Well, just to throw it out to you, Amy,
- 56:16Speaker 1: because you asked earlier and we didn't answer, I would
- 56:18Speaker 1: like you to start working on Jimmy Garoppolo for me. Yeah,
- 56:22Speaker 1: the quarterback for the San Francisco That's actually quite doable.
- 56:26Speaker 1: Exactly why I'm suggesting. Would you like me to make
- 56:29Speaker 1: a call right now? Let's call Laurie and see if
- 56:31Speaker 1: she can make that happen one percent. Let's right now?
- 56:36Speaker 1: Come on tonight? What the wait? What day of the
- 56:38Speaker 1: week is it? Like? I got to figure out a schedule?
- 56:40Speaker 1: I think like he can't see me tonight. My celebrity
- 56:43Speaker 1: crush would have to be it was Blake Lively, but
- 56:47Speaker 1: I love her and Ryan Ryan Reynolds together. I gotta
- 56:49Speaker 1: pick somebody's single. Um is Jennifer and she's not single.
- 56:53Speaker 1: Issue know she's married as well. I gotta think about
- 56:55Speaker 1: this for a little bit. I'm really can I think
- 56:56Speaker 1: about somebody for you? I would love for you too,
- 56:59Speaker 1: but why we do that? If you have anybody you'd
- 57:01Speaker 1: like Ashley or myself to be into where you think

- 57:22Speaker 1: we'll try to get back to you, and if we don't,
- 57:23Speaker 1: we'll try to answer in the air. And if we

- 57:42Speaker 1: She know what I do. Sometimes it's probably not a
- 57:44Speaker 1: good idea, but when I am down, sometimes I'll order
- 57:48Speaker 1: some saucy. Makes you feel a little better. Oh yes,
- 57:52Speaker 1: A listener wants to know what kind of tequila been like, Yeah,
- 57:54Speaker 1: so my my common phrase with that, Actually, I know
- 57:56Speaker 1: where you're going is drink because you're happy, never because
- 57:59Speaker 1: you're sad. I've never I'm gonna be lying, I'm lying,
- 58:02Speaker 1: I've never drank when I'm sad. Actually just doing this
- 58:05Speaker 1: for the sake of saucy and the transitions that we
- 58:07Speaker 1: are masters at. Um. But yeah, no, I I always
- 58:12Speaker 1: feel like it really perpetuates the down, which is whatever.
- 58:16Speaker 1: We don't need to talk about. Favorite tequila is Casa Amiga.
- 58:20Speaker 1: So Mandy emailed us and asked, Hey, what is Ben's

- 1:01:22Speaker 1: all sorts of decades, so I'm pretty good friends with um.
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: A lot of the players, a lot of the past coaches,
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: the owners, and everything. So I guess you could say

- 1:01:55Speaker 1: of our topics for today's podcast that you are on
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: the bet n Ashley almost in his podcast, UM, is
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: we're trying to set each other or ourselves up with
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: our celebrity crushes who are within the realm of actually
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: being able to get. And I think that Jimmy Garoppolo,
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: it's pretty attainable for me. I love that. And do
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: are we certain that he's single? First of all, so
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: I'm googling wife and it's not looking good for you. Wife.
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: Wife always pops up, but any athlete plus wife that
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: always pops up. He is very single. He's also a
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: little young for me, which is little. No. My my
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: husband is seven years general than me and we're going
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: on fifteen years. It's all good. Oh it's twenty six.
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: He's Dean's age. That's fine. Wait, Amy, wikipedia him. It'll
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: tell you the personal part if he I actually don't
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: see a girl and there's wearely some pictures with Kate Upton,
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna got married this weekend. Yes, it's brilliant. Okay,
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: so why don't I do this? I'm sending someone who's
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: very in the note right now as I'm talking to
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: a text message. Um, and are we asking Doug, LORI?
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: We're not well, I'm actually I just sent a text
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: message to actually someone who is within the organization and
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: slash owner. Nicely done, nicely done. Okay, let's say, I mean,
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: are you against this idea? Loria? Is this? Are you
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: against this idea? Not at all? But does this make
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: you feel uncomfortably really quickly? So? The the idea is
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: that for the most gorgeous, amazing Becca to date, this
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: lucky as fast but so close. That's actually I say, Becka,
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: that's okay, because you met them both together. No, why
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: did someone else say back? Uh? I don't know, don't
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: worry about okay, all the same, Yeah, this is the
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: beautiful Ashley that we're No one looks better in braids
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: than Ashley. Okay, I think this is a fabulous idea,
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: and I think that you guys would be perfect together,
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: even better than back. I'm sorry, I think that this
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: should be though. Is this Jimmy Garoppolo Ji's was the
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: backup quarterback for top rating back Recall Brady, and now
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: he's been trained, is legitimately probably going to be a
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: huge start for their quarterback. Well he's there, Well he
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: is now. He just came over to the team. They
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: didn't play him last weekend because obviously he has to
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: get acclimated. But apparently the word on the street is
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: that he is working very hard right now and will
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: play in the next game. Okay, you can tell him
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: that we don't feel super waiting until January, but like
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: he might go home to Michigan things. I know. Oh wow,
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: there's planes. It's all good. Um, But should we wait
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: to see if he's good or not before we do
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: the setup? Actually? Yeah, oh no, definitely no, it doesn't
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: have to be good. Well, he would be so lucky
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: I've met you. You are so fabulous, you're smart, you're funny,
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: you're dropped out gorgeous. I mean, he'd be an idiot
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: not to want to date you. Yah, trying to make
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: it happen while the season is still going on, because
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: it's only an hour flight away. Okay, well, the good
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: news is that I will get Um, I'll try to
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: bridge an intro. When are you going to be in
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: San Francisco next all? Whenever you need me? Okay, how
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: about this? Can I talk you into getting Amy Suer
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: going to get on our plane and coming here? Now,
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: I'll drive up with Amy if that's what it takes,
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: ectly Okay, all right, Well, I'll do my due diligence,
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: I promise, and I will let you all know. And
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: good luck. Now do we have any you know any?
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: What about you? Ben? What do you need from Laurie?
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: Who do you want her to stay? About? Laurie? I
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: just I just really want Ashley happy? Oh my goodness happy,
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: I'll be happy. Well what's your type? Man? Because there
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: could be a good, good smattering of people here that
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: we can consider. I've asked myself that question for years.
