Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
0:03
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
0:05
Speaker 2: It's time for Bachelor headlines.
0:07
Speaker 3: Goodness, gracious, Ashley, I think this headlines episode might have
0:12
Speaker 3: some of the juiciest and most action packed headlines that.
0:18
Speaker 2: We've ever had.
0:20
Speaker 4: Well one of them, for sure, I can. I will
0:23
Speaker 4: agree with you.
0:23
Speaker 3: On I think in general, just we have a lot
0:25
Speaker 3: of headlines here that are newsworthy and that our listeners
0:29
Speaker 3: will be excited.
0:30
Speaker 2: To hear about.
0:31
Speaker 4: Okay, let's go for it.
0:32
Speaker 3: We're gonna start with this one because I just don't
0:34
Speaker 3: think it's true, but it is a rumor and if
0:37
Speaker 3: you follow any Bachelor adjacent social media platform or website,
0:44
Speaker 3: it's gonna be brought up and talked about. And I
0:47
Speaker 3: want to bring it up here and talk about it
0:49
Speaker 3: with all of you so you hear our thoughts on
0:51
Speaker 3: the matter. The headline is this Grant is no longer
0:55
Speaker 3: the Bachelor. This has been a rumor being spread now
0:59
Speaker 3: over the last three days. Ashley, what do we know?
1:03
Speaker 4: Okay? So when I saw this rumor, I texted our
1:05
Speaker 4: group and I was like, Okay, well we have to
1:07
Speaker 4: do a breaking news podcast on this. It was like
1:11
Speaker 4: why and so interesting I thought like, oh, okay, so
1:15
Speaker 4: maybe something came out about his past and they can't
1:18
Speaker 4: get over it. That's what the rumor's saying. There's something,
1:21
Speaker 4: some information has come up to production and they won't
1:24
Speaker 4: be able to go forward with him because of that.
1:28
Speaker 4: And I was like, all right, all right, that's not
1:30
Speaker 4: too far fetched. And then I was also thinking, oh,
1:32
Speaker 4: or is it because they're obsessed with how much attention
1:35
Speaker 4: Jonathan's getting and they're just going to move Jonathan to
1:37
Speaker 4: the lead. They're going to pretend as if like something
1:39
Speaker 4: came up, but really it's because they wanted a new
1:42
Speaker 4: lead based on the amount of attention Jonathan's been getting
1:46
Speaker 4: on social media with all of his appearances with jen
1:49
Speaker 4: in La because they're really playing though would they are
1:53
Speaker 4: they or are they not game? And then I woke
1:57
Speaker 4: up to something this morning and I was like, oh, okay,
2:02
Speaker 4: now that I like am bummed that it seems to
2:04
Speaker 4: be totally false, you know that I think it's I
2:09
Speaker 4: think that Grant seems like lovely, but he's just not
2:12
Speaker 4: a very exciting choice for Bachelor anyway. Bachelor Data did
2:16
Speaker 4: a video today about the sourcing of this rumor. The
2:20
Speaker 4: rumor is like in certain locations that seem like kind
2:26
Speaker 4: of like legit publications, but then they keep re routing
2:30
Speaker 4: people to this like they'll highlight it, you know, they'll
2:33
Speaker 4: link it. Be like this website is reporting, and then
2:35
Speaker 4: when you go to the crux of the rumor and
2:40
Speaker 4: the original article or the started it's like the least
2:44
Speaker 4: reliable source. Ever. It's basically an ad site like this.
2:49
Speaker 4: This website has nothing but like scammy ads, like scammy
2:53
Speaker 4: like sex ads and stuff, so it looks like it's
2:57
Speaker 4: not true. So guys, Grant is still your bad. There
3:02
Speaker 4: are comments that are interesting underneath some of the rumor posts,
3:06
Speaker 4: like we have Zachary Reality posting his own you know
3:11
Speaker 4: TikTok about the rumor, and here are some quotes from
3:16
Speaker 4: underneath his posts and from Reddit. I have it on
3:22
Speaker 4: good authority this could be satire. I have it on
3:26
Speaker 4: good authority that Jesse and the producers are in talks
3:29
Speaker 4: with Tommy DeVito. You'd be the backup quarterback for the
3:32
Speaker 4: Giants for his own season. His mom's chicken cut, Let's
3:35
Speaker 4: deserve a hometown episode. Maybe that's why Grant is on pause. Listen,
3:41
Speaker 4: this would be a dream. I love this as a
3:43
Speaker 4: Giants fan and they're just floundering year after year. This
3:47
Speaker 4: would bring light to my life. I don't think it's true.
3:51
Speaker 4: Then somebody else said, I'm skeptical when it's Zachary Reality.
3:58
Speaker 4: He's been writing about a few things. But maybe, yeah,
4:02
Speaker 4: this doesn't seem right. And that's what Bachelor Data said.
4:05
Speaker 4: She was like, listen, if it's somebody like Reality Steve,
4:09
Speaker 4: who's had it right in the past, that would be
4:12
Speaker 4: there'd be more smoke to this story.
4:14
Speaker 3: It's always interesting to see these rumors spread. Now, yes,
4:18
Speaker 3: I don't think it's true. I think it's a spam. However,
4:21
Speaker 3: the you know those weird magazines that you see at
4:25
Speaker 3: grocery stores that always have the rumors that seem outrageous
4:29
Speaker 3: and untrue and no way believable.
4:32
Speaker 4: Ninety right, you said fifty.
4:35
Speaker 3: Percent of the time those rumors end up coming true.
4:38
Speaker 3: Fifty percent they don't. However, I do think that in
4:43
Speaker 3: this case, where there's smoke, there's fire. I do too,
4:48
Speaker 3: and I'm not saying I don't think it's at any
4:50
Speaker 3: level true. However, I would not be shocked, not be
4:54
Speaker 3: shocked at all, if at least at some point somebody
4:57
Speaker 3: in the know has had a conversation going, Hey, was
5:01
Speaker 3: this the best choice or is there another way to
5:05
Speaker 3: do this? I do think Grant, if they stick with Grant,
5:09
Speaker 3: will be a great bachelor. He's gotten a lot of love.
5:12
Speaker 3: I just don't think we know him. So I'm wondering
5:15
Speaker 3: if the show is going, if if we have the
5:18
Speaker 3: opportunity to get somebody that the audience would maybe be
5:23
Speaker 3: more knowledgeable of, is this our time to do it?
5:26
Speaker 4: Exactly what I was thinking, Like, there might be a
5:30
Speaker 4: little something out there that is not like the best,
5:33
Speaker 4: because they want their bachelor to basically be like you Ben,
5:37
Speaker 4: totally like a pristine background check, and if there's like
5:41
Speaker 4: a story or two circulating around him, they may think
5:43
Speaker 4: of it, or at least one person, and that higher
5:46
Speaker 4: ups might be like, oh, this could be our out.
5:49
Speaker 2: I still stop sign once he's stole a stuff.
5:54
Speaker 4: You Also, you know we always talk about how Booby's
5:57
Speaker 4: and cocaine or whatever.
5:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did find a bunch of cocaine on the
6:00
Speaker 3: beach ones, but that actually like helps my background.
6:02
Speaker 4: You were actually like you turned it in.
6:04
Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't even try to take advantage of that one.
6:07
Speaker 4: Hey, way, Ben Ben about Grant for one more second. Okay,
6:12
Speaker 4: do you want to talk about how you feel his
6:15
Speaker 4: job is a little interesting because he's a day trader.
6:18
Speaker 3: He's kind of confronted that, and I think, okay, he
6:21
Speaker 3: did it on a social media a little while back,
6:25
Speaker 3: talking through some of his strategies.
6:27
Speaker 2: He is a day trader.
6:29
Speaker 4: So like in your opinion, you think it's like kind
6:31
Speaker 4: of like a professional gambler. It really it's risky.
6:34
Speaker 3: It's risky and without the right backing, without any type
6:39
Speaker 3: of middle and back office checking you and making sure
6:43
Speaker 3: that you're compliant, making sure also maybe he does I
6:46
Speaker 3: have no clue that he has the capital to you know,
6:50
Speaker 3: hedge and to trade on margins. It's a really risky business.
6:56
Speaker 3: His strategies were even like very just they weren't like
7:01
Speaker 3: a very like.
7:02
Speaker 4: Financial aiser, like an actual.
7:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, like he was just kind of you know, trading
7:07
Speaker 3: some options and showing his options progress.
7:10
Speaker 4: And isn't that okay if you're just doing it for yourself?
7:13
Speaker 2: Oh, none of it's. None of it's not okay. Yeah, Like,
7:16
Speaker 2: none of it's not okay.
7:17
Speaker 4: It's not like he's dealing with other people's finesses.
7:20
Speaker 3: Without right Well, he couldn't like he couldn't you have
7:23
Speaker 3: to have licensing to deal with somebody else's or to
7:25
Speaker 3: even give any advice. It's not not okay, I'm not
7:30
Speaker 3: saying that at all. It's just a very risky thing to
7:33
Speaker 3: say that you're doing for a living. Now, some people
7:36
Speaker 3: make it, and I'm assuming he is because he he
7:39
Speaker 3: seems to be a very like, you know, just well
7:43
Speaker 3: off person right now.
7:46
Speaker 2: But you don't know.
7:47
Speaker 3: You don't know until you kind of dig deep. I
7:50
Speaker 3: will just say I was working in finance for six years.
7:53
Speaker 3: I never I've never yet met a day trader that
8:01
Speaker 3: does it for a hobby, that makes a living on it.
8:04
Speaker 2: It is really hard.
8:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know somebody who makes a very good living
8:09
Speaker 4: off of it, Well, good for them. But this person
8:13
Speaker 4: also has like the best luck I've ever seen in
8:17
Speaker 4: my life.
8:18
Speaker 3: So it's just innarest thing. I was curious when he
8:21
Speaker 3: originally announced his job. I was like, I just want
8:23
Speaker 3: to know more about it. He did confront on Instagram
8:25
Speaker 3: and I go, Okay, he's doing it. I mean, that's cool.
8:27
Speaker 2: I got it. He knows what he's doing and I'm.
8:30
Speaker 3: Happy for him, and I hope it's so it's super successful.
8:34
Speaker 3: The next headline is another big one this week. Devin
8:40
Speaker 3: continues just to take a shovel and not even slowly.
8:46
Speaker 3: He like intentionally digs bigger and bigger and bigger and
8:49
Speaker 3: bigger holes, and he just kind of likes to bury
8:52
Speaker 3: himself in him. It feels like his strategy is to
8:56
Speaker 3: how often can I hit rock bottom? And then how
9:00
Speaker 3: much farther can I push to make rock Bottom look
9:03
Speaker 3: a little different than it did before?
9:05
Speaker 2: And let me just keep doing it until.
9:07
Speaker 3: Everybody just kind of has low expectations of what's going
9:11
Speaker 3: to happen and they stop worrying about it.
9:13
Speaker 2: He's trying to, I don't know, clean his name up.
9:17
Speaker 2: It just ain't working.
9:19
Speaker 4: He really doesn't get it, Like he does not get
9:21
Speaker 4: how to work an audience. Like I'm just I'm thinking
9:25
Speaker 4: about this from a PR's a PR reps point of
9:29
Speaker 4: view when I say this, like if he really like
9:33
Speaker 4: he obviously didn't didn't work out with Jen right, but
9:36
Speaker 4: there were so many ways that he could have made
9:37
Speaker 4: it seem so much more pleasant on after the Final
9:41
Speaker 4: Rose in so many ways, and then this move I
9:47
Speaker 4: need to know who we talk about Ashley Oh, the
9:50
Speaker 4: move in which he released a thirteen minute video to
9:53
Speaker 4: Instagram and TikTok explaining why or giving some addition little
10:00
Speaker 4: reasoning behind their breakup, including you know, like all like
10:03
Speaker 4: the texts and call receipts. He was trying to make
10:07
Speaker 4: it seem like there was so much more that you
10:10
Speaker 4: guys didn't see after the final rose and I wasn't
10:13
Speaker 4: as bad to her, you know, in lacking of communication
10:17
Speaker 4: as she made it seem.
10:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, within that thirteen minute video he explained himself. He
10:23
Speaker 3: also revealed some very personal text messages.
10:37
Speaker 4: The craziest part about the video to me is this
10:40
Speaker 4: one like slide show in which he basically screenshoted every
10:45
Speaker 4: single text that they've ever had, and he put them
10:49
Speaker 4: in like rapid order. It was like half I wouldn't
10:53
Speaker 4: even say, I don't even know it was okay, maybe
10:55
Speaker 4: half a second there was a screenshot, and there must
10:58
Speaker 4: have been like thirty screenshot and they went by really
11:02
Speaker 4: really fast. There was one text that made it into
11:05
Speaker 4: a screenshot that was kind of sexual, and so therefore
11:09
Speaker 4: he thought, oh, that part I need to edit out.
11:14
Speaker 4: Of course, I mean like yeah, yes, but the humor
11:17
Speaker 4: in this is that he just thought that that was
11:19
Speaker 4: the one part he needed to edit and it wasn't
11:22
Speaker 4: just the whole thirteen second video, so deleted it thirty minutes. Sorry,
11:27
Speaker 4: he deleted it, and he re uploaded it without that
11:30
Speaker 4: screenshot in it, but that, you know, but still thought
11:34
Speaker 4: after releasing the video and getting probably some feedback, enough
11:37
Speaker 4: feedback for the people watched that screenshot slide show in
11:43
Speaker 4: detail enough that they caught that, and then he was like, yeah,
11:46
Speaker 4: I'm gonna upload that video all over again.
11:50
Speaker 3: There's this level I think now we've spent a few
11:53
Speaker 3: times in Bachelor Nation where people upload personal conversations text
11:59
Speaker 3: messages to the.
12:00
Speaker 4: Public, most notably Blank and Kalin.
12:03
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, and I think you know, I see this,
12:07
Speaker 3: and I understand why they're being I understand why they're
12:12
Speaker 3: being posted because it does feel like the receipts, it
12:16
Speaker 3: does feel like your truth. It does feel like it's
12:18
Speaker 3: what you have to prove that, Hey, the story that
12:22
Speaker 3: you're hearing isn't maybe the full story. I understand the
12:26
Speaker 3: urge and the desire to post those. However, I do
12:30
Speaker 3: believe those are private conversations. I do not think they
12:34
Speaker 3: should be posted to the public. However, they are used
12:38
Speaker 3: in the court of law. So if you know for
12:41
Speaker 3: whatever reason. If we have a scenario where somebody has
12:43
Speaker 3: to go to trial, typically phone email, all those records
12:48
Speaker 3: are presented, and so I know why people are doing it.
12:52
Speaker 3: In this case specifically, it was inappropriate. There was no
12:56
Speaker 3: reasoning for it, and the text messages didn't prove anything.
12:59
Speaker 3: In fact, I'm still confused after watching this thirteen minute
13:02
Speaker 3: video on what Devin is exactly trying to prove. I
13:07
Speaker 3: don't know what his I think he's trying to prove
13:10
Speaker 3: that he wasn't as bad as what it seemed on
13:12
Speaker 3: national television. However, most of the things said during the
13:17
Speaker 3: final episode were proven to be true based on these
13:20
Speaker 3: text messages. Yes there was a ghosting, Yes there was
13:23
Speaker 3: a lack of communication. Yes there was kind of a
13:26
Speaker 3: giving up. It felt like sentiment from this video all
13:31
Speaker 3: I want. And really, Devin didn't have to apologize or
13:36
Speaker 3: come public with any of this, and I know he
13:38
Speaker 3: wanted to to clear his name and try to get
13:40
Speaker 3: back in the good graces, even though I think that
13:42
Speaker 3: was probably impossible at this point. I want when somebody
13:47
Speaker 3: tries to do this Sidney, for example, Devin here as
13:50
Speaker 3: of recent I just want authenticity. I don't want you
13:54
Speaker 3: to throw anybody else under the bus. I don't want
13:57
Speaker 3: you to try to pit it me versus. Then I
14:00
Speaker 3: don't want this tongue in cheek. Hey, I'm not trying
14:04
Speaker 3: to hurt jin here, I'm just trying to get you know,
14:07
Speaker 3: my words out.
14:08
Speaker 2: I don't want any of that.
14:09
Speaker 3: I want the ownership and what and what you had
14:12
Speaker 3: to do with the failure of this relationship. I also
14:15
Speaker 3: want the authenticity of saying I am sorry for how
14:18
Speaker 3: this went down. I could have done better, and then
14:21
Speaker 3: we all say, hey, I've been there too, I get it.
14:25
Speaker 2: We move on.
14:26
Speaker 3: But this new kind of trend of when you get
14:33
Speaker 3: you know, when something bad happens to you in the
14:35
Speaker 3: public and your only way out is to blame somebody
14:39
Speaker 3: else or to try to bring them back into the controversy.
14:44
Speaker 2: One.
14:44
Speaker 3: It's not right, it's not healthy, and it typically leads
14:48
Speaker 3: to really destructive behavior, which this thirteen minute video was.
14:53
Speaker 3: It did nothing to help him. There is no there,
14:55
Speaker 3: there's nothing about this. I'm sure there's a fut rolls
14:57
Speaker 3: on Instagram that are like, I get it, Devin, I'm
14:59
Speaker 3: on your time. For the most part, this did nothing
15:02
Speaker 3: to help him. I just think it could have been
15:06
Speaker 3: done so much better. I'm wondering where ABC's at and
15:08
Speaker 3: all this. I'm hoping ABC is sitting there saying as
15:11
Speaker 3: a publicity team saying, hey, Devin, uh, let's sit down
15:15
Speaker 3: and talk like you want.
15:17
Speaker 2: To get your story out.
15:17
Speaker 3: Can't stop you from doing that. However, here's some ways
15:20
Speaker 3: that we would advise you to do that in a
15:22
Speaker 3: healthy way to not hurt you Jin or anybody else.
15:26
Speaker 3: But it seems like he had nobody he was talking
15:29
Speaker 3: to and it has.
15:30
Speaker 4: Nothing to do with the show. So I don't even
15:32
Speaker 4: think he would need to get approval. Obviously, he didn't
15:34
Speaker 4: need to get approval to pose that because it's all
15:36
Speaker 4: about what happened in the summer. It's just I I
15:39
Speaker 4: need to know what was going through his head and
15:41
Speaker 4: who he showed. Did he show anyone that video beforehand?
15:44
Speaker 4: Because that had some editing that needed to be done.
15:48
Speaker 4: That is that is a video that like, I'm sure
15:51
Speaker 4: he put it together himself, But I also wouldn't have
15:54
Speaker 4: been surprised if he had like some friends around him
15:56
Speaker 4: being like, yeah, yeah, this is a good move, like
15:58
Speaker 4: somebody had to encourage it. I just can't imagine him
16:01
Speaker 4: in his own power. Yeah, he's like, I'm going to
16:04
Speaker 4: post this thirteen minute video without telling anybody else.
16:07
Speaker 3: He needs like a group of advisors now around him,
16:10
Speaker 3: Like he needs two or three of his close friends
16:13
Speaker 3: that I hope he has, Yeah, that I hope he has,
16:15
Speaker 3: being like, Hey, here's what I'm thinking, What do you
16:18
Speaker 3: guys think of this decision? And for them to not
16:21
Speaker 3: just think of what Devin wants to hear, but what
16:23
Speaker 3: he needs to hear, which is, hey, don't do it,
16:27
Speaker 3: like stay, don't do that, be authentic, be genuine, and
16:32
Speaker 3: that's about as far as you should go, Like that's it.
16:34
Speaker 3: Don't try to bring Jim back into it. Don't definitely
16:38
Speaker 3: don't show private conversations for of the two of you.
16:41
Speaker 3: That's not going to help anything. That actually is just
16:43
Speaker 3: like wrong, especially at this point. And just try to
16:49
Speaker 3: keep moving forward and become a little better man and
16:52
Speaker 3: learn from this. There's a lot of learning that can
16:54
Speaker 3: be done from this, but it right now that learning
16:58
Speaker 3: doesn't seem to be taking place.
17:00
Speaker 4: Has posting receipts ever worked out in the favor of
17:03
Speaker 4: the person posting the receipts or people always just think like,
17:08
Speaker 4: oh that was Cura Quinn. Oh yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
17:17
Speaker 4: but no, because he called her bad things in there,
17:20
Speaker 4: and then he his winning was winning the paternity test.
17:24
Speaker 4: But I think him posting the receipts and the text
17:27
Speaker 4: messages never helped. It made him just look She may
17:31
Speaker 4: have looked pretty pretty crazy, but that was also in
17:35
Speaker 4: the long run, and we were proven that she well
17:38
Speaker 4: was crazy because she made up the fact that she
17:41
Speaker 4: was pregnant. But he didn't look good in those texts
17:45
Speaker 4: and it had nothing to do with him being proven
17:48
Speaker 4: innocent at all.
17:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
17:51
Speaker 3: I don't have many examples, but I don't also know
17:54
Speaker 3: many people doing this, so there's only a select few.
17:58
Speaker 4: Did Blake look better or posting those texts between him
18:01
Speaker 4: and Kaylin after that paradise?
18:04
Speaker 3: I don't think it helped him hundred percent. People don't
18:08
Speaker 3: like it, and it just feels invasive. It is invasive.
18:12
Speaker 3: I shouldn't be reading what the two of you have
18:14
Speaker 3: said to each other like I should not be, especially
18:18
Speaker 3: when it comes.
18:19
Speaker 4: To a romantic relationship.
18:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, I should not be.
18:22
Speaker 3: I should not be reading that like you guys should
18:25
Speaker 3: keep those between you and you can tell me, hey,
18:28
Speaker 3: you know, it felt like in our relationship we went
18:30
Speaker 3: through seasons of excitement, and then we went through really
18:32
Speaker 3: bad season, and then we went through a season where
18:35
Speaker 3: I didn't feel like we could talk anymore because our
18:36
Speaker 3: communication is off. I just don't I don't need to
18:39
Speaker 3: read your conversation on how you got there. Yeah, half
18:43
Speaker 3: the time text messages don't make sense to me anyways.
18:45
Speaker 3: I'm not good at that.
18:46
Speaker 4: I just will never understand what he was thinking and
18:48
Speaker 4: doing that.
18:50
Speaker 2: No, I can't either, but I do.
18:52
Speaker 4: I do understand the internal frustration that you go through
18:56
Speaker 4: with like a storyline on TV doesn't come across the
19:00
Speaker 4: way that you feel like you lived it and that
19:03
Speaker 4: you like think that you have proof that it was otherwise.
19:06
Speaker 4: So like the desire to put it out there, I
19:08
Speaker 4: do understand the desire, but like you need to let
19:12
Speaker 4: your pr brain just win out in that situation.
19:17
Speaker 3: Well, I think the pr brain or just there's a
19:20
Speaker 3: lack of maturity. This is an immature act. This is
19:23
Speaker 3: something that like him at thirty whatever and a middle
19:27
Speaker 3: schooler at thirteen are are doing the same thing. Like
19:33
Speaker 3: this is this is an act that was immature. It
19:36
Speaker 3: should be you should take two steps up and say,
19:39
Speaker 3: as an adult, I refuse to do this no matter
19:43
Speaker 3: what it will look like or no matter what kind
19:47
Speaker 3: of heat. Right, you and I have both sat in
19:49
Speaker 3: seasons within this whole show where we're like, you know,
19:54
Speaker 3: it would be so much better if everybody just knew
19:57
Speaker 3: the actual truth and we could. You know, you like,
20:00
Speaker 3: I have the truth, but you have to take a
20:02
Speaker 3: step back and you have to say no. But this
20:04
Speaker 3: is like that doesn't matter to me. The winning here
20:08
Speaker 3: isn't a thing. I just have to move forward and
20:12
Speaker 3: take a little bit of the heat, get kicked a
20:14
Speaker 3: little bit, maybe that person gets kicked around a little bit,
20:17
Speaker 3: but we'll all move forward and it's gonna be okay.
20:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the audience will forget in that moment. It's
20:24
Speaker 4: just like your whole life.
20:25
Speaker 3: I think the audience had already forgotten and she brought
20:28
Speaker 3: it right back up again. I think the audience were like,
20:30
Speaker 3: I'm just excited to watch Joan and now all of
20:32
Speaker 3: a sudden, Devn's back in the headlines.
20:34
Speaker 4: Hey, you know, you probably think differently than me. You
20:37
Speaker 4: probably think like, no, you go back to your regular
20:39
Speaker 4: life and you do whatever you were doing. Your job
20:42
Speaker 4: seem to be working for you. But if I just
20:46
Speaker 4: think that if you really wanted you just go on paradise, dude,
20:50
Speaker 4: and then you make sure that you're not done again.
20:53
Speaker 2: Yeah.
20:54
Speaker 4: And you know what, people also love to hate a villain,
20:58
Speaker 4: so like you'll get your working either way.
21:02
Speaker 3: We love a comeback story on to better stories. We
21:17
Speaker 3: were with this person this last week. We knew about
21:21
Speaker 3: this actually before it got announced publicly. I would like
21:25
Speaker 3: to make a public statement to Katie to say, Hey,

21:31

Speaker 3: after less than one year of dating. She explained this
21:46

21:52
Speaker 3: headline Ashley. I started following her now fiance on Instagram yesterday.

Speaker 3: place where she seems so happy.
22:36
Speaker 4: It's so crazy, how like, Yeah, it's been eight months,

22:48

23:40
Speaker 4: of cool because this is one of those stories that
23:42
Speaker 4: if it weren't for the Bachelorette, who knows if this

24:09
Speaker 3: Wadell opens up about undiagnosed health issues. She finally said this,
24:14
Speaker 3: I finally have answers.
24:17
Speaker 4: So she has been dealing with something that's even affecting
24:20
Speaker 4: her voice. And if you've been following Carly at all
24:22
Speaker 4: in the past year or so, she's really been focusing
24:25
Speaker 4: on music. She was opening up for Nick Carter on tour,
24:27
Speaker 4: which is really cool. But she said she finally went
24:30
Speaker 4: to the e andt ear nos and throat doctor, after
24:33
Speaker 4: over twenty years of having episodes where my throat seems
24:36
Speaker 4: to completely close up for a good thirty seconds. That
24:39
Speaker 4: is so scary And why did it take you twenty
24:41
Speaker 4: years to do that, Carly? She said, it used to
24:46
Speaker 4: happen only a few times a year, but in the
24:48
Speaker 4: past few years has happened as much as three times
24:51
Speaker 4: a day. Scary not only for me, but anyone around
24:55
Speaker 4: me when this happens, because it seems like, because it
25:00
Speaker 4: looks like I should be doing somebody should be doing
25:03
Speaker 4: the Heimel like maneuver on me while tears stream down
25:06
Speaker 4: my face and I am gasping to breathe. She has
25:10
Speaker 4: spasms in her throat that bring her to like these
25:14
Speaker 4: undiagnosed asthma, seasonal allergies, and even acid reflux. That's what this.
25:20
Speaker 4: These spasms are brought on by asthma, allergies and reflux,
25:23
Speaker 4: and they also happen to women more than men, sometimes
25:28
Speaker 4: more often with the women that have anxiety because they
25:32
Speaker 4: tend to be hidden the kidd in a way. So yeah,
25:37
Speaker 4: that's what she's going through. That's really scary. That's really
25:41
Speaker 4: really scary.
25:42
Speaker 2: I didn't know she was opening up for Nick Carter
25:43
Speaker 2: on tour.
25:44
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, is that cool?
25:46
Speaker 2: That is cool? Good for her? Uh the U I
25:49
Speaker 2: think I saw this week? Ashley. Tell me if I'm wrong,
25:51
Speaker 2: her former her.
25:54
Speaker 4: Ex, Evan has a new girlfriend.
25:56
Speaker 2: Has a new girlfriend, right, yeah, yeah.
25:58
Speaker 4: I don't really know why I Evan even make it.
26:00
Speaker 4: That's pretty crazy that Evan would make a headline. But
26:02
Speaker 4: I saw that as well. We feel I'm not trying
26:05
Speaker 4: to be shady, but.
26:07
Speaker 3: Well, I think you know, there's some shade there. But
26:11
Speaker 3: it feels like Carl has a lot to talk about
26:13
Speaker 3: right now. I wonder if she'd be willing to come
26:15
Speaker 3: on and talk about obviously this new diagnosis along with
26:19
Speaker 3: a really exciting conversation of what is going on with Evan.
26:23
Speaker 3: And then Carly has a boyfriend.
26:25
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Carly did talk to us about her well,
26:27
Speaker 4: she teased that she had a boyfriend last time she
26:30
Speaker 4: was on Okay, and they've been together for I want
26:34
Speaker 4: to say a little bit over a year now. I
26:36
Speaker 4: think it's serious. I think they're going to get engaged.
26:39
Speaker 4: We will see, Yeah, we can. We should talk to
26:41
Speaker 4: her about this this health issues. Evan has had other
26:46
Speaker 4: girlfriends in the past couple of years.
26:47
Speaker 3: You just jumped from health issues to Evan again. You
26:51
Speaker 3: can't get en off your mind.
26:52
Speaker 4: Good I don't know if he was dating like someone
26:56
Speaker 4: relatively like like Insta war, you know, like if he
27:01
Speaker 4: was dating like an influencer or like somebody who is famous.
27:04
Speaker 4: I could see it making headlines. But Van Bass's new girlfriend,
27:07
Speaker 4: I don't know. He's definitely dated since they broke up.
27:12
Speaker 3: Oh goodness, Well, that's all the headlines for you today. Again,
27:15
Speaker 3: I said it. I thought you guys some big headlines. Obviously,
27:18
Speaker 3: we just talked about Carly the Devin thirteen minute wild video,
27:23
Speaker 3: along with Katie Thurston getting engaged. There's just a lot
27:29
Speaker 3: of a lot of headlines here to run through and
27:31
Speaker 3: a lot of things to talk about. I want to
27:34
Speaker 3: make it clear. I think Grant is our next bachelor,
27:37
Speaker 3: and until I improven otherwise, I'm going to believe that,
27:39
Speaker 3: and I think it's gonna be a great bachelor. I think, though,
27:43
Speaker 3: these rumors are always worth bringing up because how embarrassing
27:48
Speaker 3: would it be if we never talked about it, We
27:51
Speaker 3: never even brought it up, and then all of a sudden,
27:54
Speaker 3: this little weird rumor becomes true, would be so embarrassing for.
27:57
Speaker 4: Us, so embarrassing to not be on top of things. Also,
28:01
Speaker 4: his seasons like set to start within the next week,
28:04
Speaker 4: so it would be a really last minute change. And
28:07
Speaker 4: happy tenth anniversary to me being part of the Bachelor
28:10
Speaker 4: franchise because it's this week, should have been ten years
28:16
Speaker 4: ago that it all started, that I pulled up in
28:20
Speaker 4: that limo. That is the most handsome man I've ever seen.
28:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, just to be clear, Chris Soles was her Bachelor,
28:28
Speaker 3: not me. Hey, until next time, I've been Then I've been.
