  Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Hey everyone, welcome back to the almost of his podcast.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: We wanted to do this in two parts this week
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: because the Bachelorette finale was big and beautiful and now
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: we have a very exciting teaser for Bachelor in Paradise,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: so we want to break down and give it special
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: moment as well. So let's dive into this.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Ben, we get a teaser.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: We have a long list of people who show up,
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: including a couple former leads. Obviously, Jesse and Wells are there.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Some of the leads that we see are Rachel We
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: see Hannah Brown, obviously she's not gonna be dating on
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: the beach. We see Charity Lawson. We also see Katie Thurston.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: But the one that surprises me the most, and I
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: want to hear your thoughts, is Blake Moyins.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That surprised me too, but I heard that he
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: was going to be there through the rumor mill before this. Okay,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, okay, I don't know why I'm surprised because
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: he loves being on the show and he you know
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: why not.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's got to be up there with the
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: most appearances.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: But he's not. He's only three, this is his third.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: It's not a big deal, it really isn't.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: He's never been to Paradise. No interesting.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, so it's like, why not completely trifecta. Well,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: he's not the Bachelor, but yeah.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Katie Thurston is there though. Is that interesting for you? Yeah,
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Katie Thurston's there.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: That is because I think that is if it weren't
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: for her being on f Boy Island this season, I
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: think he would have contemplated her being an actual cast
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: member and not just a guest appearance. And I think
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Rachel is going to be the only person that dates there.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: We see the most of her, like actually interacting like
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I think maybe even kissing the like other guys, and
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: she's in the audience and of course Jesse even called
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: out the fact that there are rumors that she and
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Branden have a thing in Paradise, and I think that
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: makes sense. So Rachel got you know, well, it's a
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: complicated story, but like screwed obviously out of her time
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: on the Bachelorette because she and Tino didn't last very long.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Charity is obviously going to be down there as a
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: date card giver, and then Hannah Brown, which it's weird
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: that they even made it seem like Hannah Brown was
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: going down there to date because it's very well known
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: that she's been in a long term relationship that I
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: feel is very serious.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: So the Katie Thurston things interesting for me because, as
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: you mentioned, she is on FBO boy Island.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Typically the show.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Does not respond will to people who you know, can
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: go on competing shows. F Boyle and is definitely that
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: produced by Alon Gail, who was formerly on the Bachelor
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: as a producer, So her involvement was intriguing to me,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: mostly from those angles. Maybe the show and their new leadership.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: The new people don't really care as much anymore and
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: they're like, hey, you're still an alumni of this franchise
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: and so we want to involve you the best in
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: the most we can. But I do think she was
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: the one that released it out to me, and obviously
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Blake Moyins did as well. There is somebody else that
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: we see that I did not expect to ever see
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: again on one of these shows.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Is even even thanks for bringing it up.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I did not think we I mean, he's kind
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: of disappeared, and part of that too, is the lack
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: of you know, the lack of following that these recent
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: seasons have gained and they're not making the headlines and
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: they're not out there, you know, hanging out together as much.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: He was somebody that we appreciated when we watched him
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: on his season of the Bachelorette, but I never thought
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: we would see him again on a franchise show.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: And obviously he's there.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Well, it makes interesting content because obviously Rachel seemingly was
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: pretty disappointed that she didn't pick him, because remember that
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: moment at AFR where he comes and rescues her from
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Tino on the stage. So obviously they're trying to I
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: think their hope would be that perhaps that they wanted
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: to rekindle things. I have some sources that say, stay.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Tuned, stay tuned.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: The stay tuned.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Well, it is an interesting cast. I think it's a
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: it's going to be a great cast. I'm excited to
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: watch this cast. Paradise is always something that we get
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: pumped up for, not only because of the drama and
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: the wildness, but also because of the love stories that
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: we've seen season overseason that show create. The teaser is
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: your typical bachelor in Paradise teaser. Obviously Jesse is hosting
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: it and Wells will be the bartender. We do now
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: have confirmation that Sean is officially on Paradise, even though
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: we knew that going into our interview with him. That
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: is out as I mentioned earlier, But Sean's in Paradise,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: I think. I mean, I'm excited to get to watch
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: some of these people that we've got to meet recently
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: on the podcast.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Hey Ben, let's mention two things in the Paradise preview
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: that are different. We often see medical emergencies as Paradise
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: is the most comfortable of living situations, but we've never
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: seen somebody need to go to possibly the hospital because
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: they've not pooped for nine days. This is actually common
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: thing that happens in Paradise. Last year when Jared and
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I were down there, we were talking about just like
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: food poisoning right from just drinking the water by accident.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: And that's even like fruit like washed in the water,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: because you know you don't drink of water in Mexico, right.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: And there's one time where I just I was really sick,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: grew up for a couple hours, but then I was okay,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and the doctor told it Jared and I He's like, actually,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: it's it's not diarrhea that's usually the issue in Paradise.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: It's actually got's the patient. I think that's probably because
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: we are eating lots of cheesecase ideas, and we are
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: drinking a lot and we're not hydrated. Just my guess.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: And Jade actually also hadn't pooped for over seven days.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Sorry Jade, I don't think she cares. She's talked about
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: this before. So constipation and serious constipation is really a
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: problem down there, and this girl nine days. They say,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: if it doesn't come out today, we're going to need
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: to deliver a poop baby. That's an actual line in
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the teaser, deliver a poop baby.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, Paradise is a place where intimacy and privacy
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: is taken away.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Xceeness is taken away. The other thing that we also
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: see that is new this year is a Paradise truth Box,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: which is supposedly going to destroy some couples. And Wells
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: is keeping a little box at the bar that you
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: put like little post. It's like little secret post secrets
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: in and I don't know if they're gonna be read
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: out loud like in a ceremony every night, but it
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: should be interesting.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be really interesting. I always get excited for
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: this because obviously I think Wells does such a good
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: job down there, and I think always the cast, it's
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: just a show that it's like the bread and butter
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: of the show creates the most amazing stuf.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Worries well.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Speaking of amazing stories and the other kind of lead
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: of batchel Imparadise, Jesse Palmer has recently announced that he
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: and his wife Emily are expecting their first baby. Now, actually,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: I want to add in here. This announcement was kind
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: of all over We're very excited for the two of them.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: But people, I think it was People Magazine kind of
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: messed up and posted a picture of Dotton and Charity, you.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Know, instead of Jesse and his wife.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Initially that obviously got screenshot it, it got saved.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: It was a big spoiler. Everybody was, you know, up.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: In arms about it. But the truth of the you know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: the background of this was, yes, they did not. I
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: can't say ruin the ending because the ending was beautiful
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: the way it was. But Jesse and his wife were
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: supposed to be the picture because yes, they're expecting a baby.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: That's a huge mess up on people's part, and I
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: can't imagine how angry the franchise got at them, Like
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: can you imagine? I don't know how you make that mistake.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I know what's happened before remem berth Kaitlin and Sean.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: They thought that they're sending a snapchat to producer of
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: the two of them, and they send it to the
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: entire her entire follower list, and then earlier in the season,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: supposedly this is how I also kind of thought I
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: had an inkling that it was dotten just I actually
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I knew to like watch Donton because of this reason.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: The two of them were at a very similar location,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I think, at the same restaut and they both tagged
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: the restaurant at the same time. My question is why
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: were they out and about were they just like in
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: wigs or something. He can't hide he's six ' seven,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: as we learned from Seawn yesterday.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: When we get him on, we're gonna have to talk
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: about this, because that is interesting. They couldn't hide he
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: is tall and obviously like they would stand out their
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: beauty couple. Yeah, exactly, there's probably wigs, there's disguises. Maybe
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: they got a private room. Maybe they did it on
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: their own, which would be super interesting.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Was it take it wasn't takeout, was it?
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. No, it looked very rang. That
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: would make more sense. Yeah, but well check in and see. Uh.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: One of our favorites here at Almost Finis podcast Crystal Nielsen.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: She marries Miles Bowls in coastal wedding ceremony. This is
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: one that we were so pumped about because we've been
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: following Crystal's story for a while. She's been a great
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: friend of the podcast, and so it was great to
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: see her happy. Yeah.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: She looks so freaking pretty. She like really looks like
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: bride Barberbie and she and Miles would just make the
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: cutest couple. They had their celebration in La Joya, California
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: this weekend. My friend Jesse was the maid of honor,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: and it was a celebration of all their closest friends
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: and family. And it was kind of your friend Jesse,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: my friend Jesse.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: You don't know her, Yeah, you just have mutual ends.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's through our agency. Oh and then she
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: said that it was in the backyard. I think it's
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: in the backyard that they first met, continuing to make
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: memories in the backyard where we first met. How adorable
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: is that? And it was co coastal, so I mean
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: beautiful anyway.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: That's awesome. Well, we're excited for them.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: We're also excited for Dylan and Hannah Godwin. Well, Dylan
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Barber he proposed to Hannah Godwin again four years after
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: their Bachelor and Paradise proposal.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: So I was a little confused about the whole Dylan
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: and Hannah thing over the weekend because she did post
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: a picture of wedding gowns, which, okay, yeah, the girl
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: looks so good wedding gowns. She should do all the
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: collaborations with wedding gowns. But they had posted that they
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: were going to they were en route to their wedding
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: weekend in France. They revealed that France would be the
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: place that they got married, and then she posted this,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, did they get married? Are they going
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: to spend weeks there? Because they had said that they
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: were on their way last week, and then we still
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: haven't gotten a wedding announcement. We also haven't seen any
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Bachelor Nation fly out to France yet, so you know,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: they they lived a life. They might just be like
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: living there for a week or two before the wedding.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Do you have any idea who you think will be
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: at that wedding bachelor wise, I'm.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Guessing like Wells will be invited. He's good friends with Dylan.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: I don't know who necessarily who. Hannah kicks it with.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Jason Tartick I know and Dylan are are fairly close
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: some of those San Diego people, like you know, Beca Kufrin.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: But obviously they're gonna be having a baby fairly soon,
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: I'm assuming.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: So to go back to the headline, Yes, they met
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: four years ago, got engaged in Bachelor in Paradise four
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: years ago, and this week on the beach he surprised
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: her with another proposal. They've been talking about having a
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: special little moment for themselves in the real world, and
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: it happened this week on the beach. So awesome. And
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: now they're off to their wedding location and it seems
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: to be France, like I said, based on their Instagram,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: but we don't have We have not had any updates
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: from them about the wedding since they have announced that
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: it was in France. Uh, Ashley.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Obviously, a story we've been covering and talking about is
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: the Kaylin Bristow and Jason Tartiq breakup. Kaitlyn hasn't She
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: just hasn't been private since the breakup, which is great.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: She's been sharing her emotions with all those people and
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: the sadness that comes with it, and uh, you know,
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: at first we kind of had the kind of the
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: her just being sad and her and now we have
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: an encouraging message that she shared with the world after
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: their breakup.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really cute. If it's makes maybe cute it's
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: not the right word. But she posted something on Instagram
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: with the caption not to spoil the ending for you,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: but You're gonna be okay, And I really love that.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: I think it's great and they're both going to be okay.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: I just think it's a it's a really hard time,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: I'm assuming for the two of them, because again, I
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: think they really cared about each other and I think
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: a breakup like this is going to be difficult and
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: they're probably getting asked about it all the time.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: But she's gonna be okay and so is Jason.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she posts on a few pictures of the ups
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: and downs that she's been going through. One smiling, one's
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: her just you know, tears flowing, and she says, it's
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: only heavy because you're deciding over and over again to
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: carry it. Embrace change, loosen up your sense of identity,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: let yourself walk a new path. You do not have
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: to ignore or erase the past. You just have to
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: wholeheardly embrace the present and move on.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Well, we'll be thinking about them still.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: I'm going to be seeing Jason here in a few weeks,
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: and I'm hoping the two of them are doing.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Well and healing well.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Final headline is this, Ashley, You've been a fan of
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: this show for a long time. You've enjoyed watching it,
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: and you've tuned into it. I don't know if this
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: makes you feel old or not, but former Bachelor Jason
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: Mesnik's son Tye is now in college.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't make me feel old because I didn't
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: watch Jason's season. I think Jason was the first Bachelor
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: before I started watching. Yeah, because I watched Ali's Oh
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: No, No No, So Jason was a couple years before I
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: started watching. And anyway, I know the story though, Tye
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: was on that season as like a five year old kid,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: and they made sure that he was very much part
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: of the season as Jason was his you know, his
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: single dad, but also like I think the soul the
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: parent with more custody and now the kid who we
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: watched on TV what feels like not long ago is
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: going to college.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: Oh life's funny, isn't it, Ashley? It flies by? So
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: we're speaking a flying by. This is the last episode
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: breaking down charity season of The Bachelorette. It was a
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: great season, one that we tuned into that we're rooted for.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: We got emotional over at times. It felt like a
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: throwback season. And I think with the Golden Bachelor coming
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: and Paradise coming up and then Joey's the next Bachelor,
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: I do feel like, yeah, it's in a good place now.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: It has a lot of work to do, right, We've
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: talked about it and the dropping ratings and viewership, but
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: I do feel like it's in a good place and
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: I feel like they're setting themselves up for some success
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: here and I think the Golden Bachelor still is going
• 15:31
