  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 to the Almost Famous Podcast. Today we
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: are going to give you all the latest news in
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: the Bachelor universe in headlines, and because Ben is away
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: on a business trip not a fun trip, I have
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: pretty sure Heather joining me to chat all about them.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Our first headline this week is all about Gary's book,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: which is I don't know it came out last week, right,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: and the sale. I don't know what the sales are
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: like because people don't seem to be very supportive of Gary,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: that's for sure. The comments are not going in his
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: favor on social media, and between interviewing him and Theresa
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: both oh, I know, I just don't know what's the truth, okay.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: And then there's she was on Deer Shandy that podcast
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: this week too, so she's telling her side there or
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: listen to both interviews. Come to the deduction yourself. I think,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: to be fair, Theresa should probably come to our podcast.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I know that she's gonna be on the finale of
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Golden Bachelor, and I'm wondering if she's gonna have a
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: little moment to say her piece on that stage, because
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: why have her just sit in the audience. I don't know.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: It's a wasted opportunity if you ask me anyway. The
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: first headline has to do with Gary's relationship with his
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: ex runner up Leslie, because he has a whole chapter
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: on her in his book as well. So Leslie was asked,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: have I read the book. I have not read it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I have read excerpts from it. I don't know if
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I want to read it. She says, I have read
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the chapter about me. He actually sent me that chapter
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: a long time ago. He just wanted to get my
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: okay on it, and I thought that was very respectful.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I read it, and to be honest, he has nothing
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: to say bad about me. When that is fantastic. I
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: think the red flag that waves here is that car.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: He was like respectful enough to say, hey, Leslie, I
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: would love for you to read the chapter about you,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: which is really nice. But he did not respect his
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: ex wife in a similar way because he said, I
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: don't really care if she's offended by the book, she
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: should be scared to read it. It's just a totally
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: different human.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Totally different. And can I just say, as somebody who
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: did have a copy of the book, if he wanted
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: to send it to Teresa in advance. He would have
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: had to send her the entire manuscript because she mentioned
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: throughout the entire book. Yeah, what I remember him saying
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: about Leslie specifically in the book was basically that he
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: ultimately made his decision when they went to Fantasy Suites
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: and he really couldn't get past the fact that she'd
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: already been divorced a couple of times. He wasn't being
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: judgmental of that. He just felt like she wasn't ready
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: to get married again, and he wanted that, And so
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: he says in the book, is like one of his
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: ultimate kind of deciding factors.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Interesting. She also comments on the fight that's going on.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: She said, I told Teresa this, I will support my friend.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I adore her, I love her, but this is not
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: my fight. I don't know if you know they're in
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: a fight. They're in a fight. She goes, I don't
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: want to be cold. It's just not my thing. I
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: will support her, I will listen to her, and I
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: will give her advice. I want to be sort of
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: like switcherl in this and then Teresa her big like
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: quote on the Dear Shandy podcast is that she says,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: you know, to Gary through that podcast, you did me
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: no favors by marrying a woman that you did not
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: want to marry. You should have called off the wedding.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: No matter that we were on TV. It didn't matter.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: This is this was our lives. That is kind of
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: what I insinuated to Gary on the podcast. I was like,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: did you guys talk about how you had cold feet?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: And he said they kind of did, but they just
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: went with it anyway.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: It takes two to tango. She could have called it
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: off as well. I'm not not here being a Gary supporter.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: People stop binly not interested in either of them and
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: how they are handling.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I'm also remaining Switzerland in this, I think because the
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: truth is always somewhere in between, isn't that usually right? However,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: can never condone what I know that they talked about
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: on headlines last week, which was Gary saying that he's
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: going to chop her up and put her dead body
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: in the shed. You know, I really tried to mull
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: this over. I was like, Jared ever say, if Jared
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: and I ever said that to each other, would it
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: be taken as a joke. I'm gonna kill maybe if
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: it was simply I'm overanalyzing maybe right now, but actually
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I don't think I'm overanalyzing. I think if you go,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna put your dead body in there, that is
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: one thing. It definitely wouldn't naturally come out of either
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: of our mouths. It's just like, not not funny. But
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I think it's the details. The fact that he said
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: he was going to kill her and chop her up.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: The chop her up part, he's really ef thing weird.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: The whole thing is weird, and I think we can
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: all agree that it's two people who were not a match,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: who did not speak the same kind of language, in
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: that sense of love language. What they wanted, whatever it was,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they got hooked by the bachelor bubble.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: It sounds like, you know, from what Gary told you
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: and Ben, he really was determined to leave that experience
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: with a wife he didn't under stand, like possibly leaving
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: it solo. I have my own theories about why that is,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: but it just they were not a match. They should
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: not have done this.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not final comment on this. Why did we have
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: to get that quote after he was done with his
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: press store. I would have loved to ask him about
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: that one.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Of course, we would have loved him to ask him
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: about that. He has been completely silent obviously.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, ever since that PR team was like, we're wrapping
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: this up.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: He did his interviews all back to back to back,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: and then he was like peace, going back to my
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: retirement mode or planning his wedding or whatever he's doing.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: But he is literally not going to respond to this.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: If he does, it's gonna be like years from now
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: or something. I think. But we're not going to hear
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: from Gary for a while.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: He's never going to show his fix in pubblic again.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Oh congratulations, you finally dump that dude. Now you're ready
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: to listen to I Do Part two.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Listen to I Do Part two on the iHeartRadio.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: App, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowski is responding to criticism that she's
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: too thin. Somebody said, who knows if this is really
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: a big deal. We don't know how many messages Ali
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: gets like this. She said, girl, my body is amazing,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: just like yours. Because somebody said your too thin, My
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: weight is always fluctuating, as well as my bloat and
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: how my clothes fit in all of that and it's fine.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I'm fine. I try not to think too much about
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: my size. If anything, I mostly just focus on how
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I feel. And lately, more than ever, I've noticed that
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: when I eat poor, I feel bad, and when I
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: eat better, I feel better. And that is truly what
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I'm focused on at this point in my life. She
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: then showed like her jiggly belly buttoned up in jeans,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: and she said, this is my belly and all of
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: its jiggly cuteness. I understand the jiggly belly as a mom.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Like It's like when I stand up, my stomach's pretty flat,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: looks good, and it's like the second I sit down,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: it just like falls over. And I have gotten plenty
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: of things that have helped it out. Thermage amazing, m
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: sculpt amazing. But your stomach will never go back to
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: how it was pre kids unless you actually go under
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: the knife. But I will say those two treatments that
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I got highly highly recommend if you just feel like
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: you need a little tightening that's non invasive already. Well,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: that's kind of my my thoughts on that. I don't
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: really have any thoughts on this. It's like people ask
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: me all the time. Everybody's different, That's what it is.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: It's like everybody is different.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: But it's almost twenty twenty six, and I'm going to say,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: is why are we ever leaving comments about somebody's body
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: on the internet that we don't know. It's insane. Just
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: stop people, just stop doing that.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she must have gotten enough to say something.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, or they caught her on a bad day
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: and she was just like, you know, I can't take
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: this anymore. It's like, we don't know what people are
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: going through, and the last thing we should be doing
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: is writing a comment to a stranger talking about their body.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Like it's just people be nice.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Also, this person that said you're so thin, she
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: said she may be showing off, so that makes it
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: a little bit sassier, rude.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Just yeah, you know, you never know what somebody is
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: going through. And she, yes, is a public figure, but
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: it doesn't mean she's a public target. And I just
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: wish that people would be more mind about the things
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: that they type and they write, because they're just as
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: harmful as things that can be said. And if you're
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: about to write a nasty comment, really think hard and true.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: If you would actually say that out loud to the
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: person if they were standing right in front of you,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: because the answer is most likely you wouldn't.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so true. Our next headline is totally cringe and
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say it. We're going to be honest
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: about this one.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Wait, I'm buy exactly the same thing. By the way,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I was like, this is weird.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I may have shared this to a person or two
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: and been like, eh, sorry, okay, uh yeah. Jason Tartik
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: says that he ran into Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: on their New York City date. He uses the caption
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I just met Taylor Swift as the cover to is
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: reel and it's obviously clickbait. So then he goes on saying, well,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: actually I didn't meet her, but she was sitting at
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: the table right here in the booth next to me,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: and she was like and she was there in the
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: booth next to me for two hours and there's like
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: less than eighty five people in this room. He's trying
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: to describe like how intimate the setting is, and he goes,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I was so closer, you know, like this far. He
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: like shows it was unbelievable. First and foremost, what I
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: thought was cool was the privacy in the room. There's
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: no pictures and nobody went up to that table, and
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: it was a little disheartening. It kind of made me
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: curious knowing that the privacy that they had in this room,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: but the second that they walked out of the club
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: or the restaurant or whatever, there was gonna be paparazzi.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Like he felt bad that they were going to have
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: to go endure the paparazzi after this this dinner, okay,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: and then he goes, But like the total two hours,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I was just taking it in her electricity, her glow,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: her light in the room. You just can't stop looking
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: at her. She had on the iconic red lipstick, and
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: she had the watch and the new ring absolutely blinging.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: It's just like, Jason, ah lord, you know how much
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: cooler you would have been if you didn't share all this,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: if you just like randomly on your podcast were like
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I actually sat next to Tiller Swift one time at dinner.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: She seemed very nice. She had like a beautiful aura.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: That would be cool. That's cool. You know, it's not
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: cool posting that you sat at an exclusive restaurant with
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: eighty five other people in the room. It was just like, oh,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I can't believe this. Then he said she was just
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: like so humble and real and down to earth and
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: so pure. There was just like some light. It's like.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: It's giving itck, it really really is the whole like
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: reading it, like I just read it. I didn't even
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: watch the whole heavy the video. The video came up
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: on my feet and I definitely scrolled through it quick
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: because sorry, I'm not feet so I don't care. But
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: like when I then I saw this and I was
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: reading it, I was like, this is embarrassing. This is
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: like I'm sorry. Like I live in Los Angeles, right,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: so I hear these kinds of things from like regular people.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Oh I'm friends with so and so. Oh how do
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: you know them?
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: I met them one time at a meeting. Or it's
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: just like it's it's over bored on the actual thing,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: and it's like, to me, now, all I can see
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: is Jason Tartick sitting at a table staring at Taylor
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Swift like that is all I imagine him doing throughout his
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: entire dinner.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: See this whole real to me, screams a lack of privacy,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: like he's concerned about how she's gonna step outside and
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: like her privacy is going to be gone because of
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: the paparazzi. But I'm like, you talking about her sitting
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: there feels like a lack you're being.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: You bring up a very good point. That's a very
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: good point to make. Yeah, it's just like Ick, I
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: would have again, I would have been like you and
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: thought it was like so much cool, or if like
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: not even on his own podcast, Say he's on somebody
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: else's podcast and she comes up in conversation and he's like,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: you know what, I actually saw them having dinner once
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: and I could feel the love between them. You know,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: they looked so in love. It was amazing. I can
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: see why people like are rooting for them. That's it, Jason,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: That's all you need to say something like that.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Absolutely Okay. It gets the worse though, Heather. I'm sorry.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I'm like, this is a little bit of a roast,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Jason targic, and I do believe that this may have
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: needed to be. Okay, So he says he feels bad
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: because she's going to go meet the paparazzi. She's gonna
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: be face with paparazzi, right, and then he says, I
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: don't respect what the paparazzi does. And I'm like, sure,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I know that you like your photo taken by the paparazzi, okay,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: And then for somebody that he doesn't respect their job right,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: and he goes out and he interviews a paparazzi. In
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: this reel, he has clips of him interviewing a paparazzi
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: asking how much the photos of Taylor Swift are going
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: to go for?
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: No?
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, And I understand that this is Jason trying
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: to bring like his business component into his brand is
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: all either real, hey, guess what I'm okay with this.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: You one, don't say that you disrespect them, because that
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: just doesn't seem genuine. You can say, like, hey, I
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: happen to be outside of a restaurant that Taylor Swift
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: is eating at tonight. I am I wanted to talk
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: to a paparazzi to see like how lucrative this business is.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: And then he did a little Q and A with them.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: That would have been fine, that would not have been
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: as cringing to me. It was the fact that like
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: he just overly compliments her, makes her seem like an
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: actual like I like, I don't. Of course, she's an
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: icon in pop culture history, but I mean, like she
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: makes she's making her seem like an an idol, like
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: a religious idol, and then he goes and does this
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: all together. It's just yucky.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: It's cringe. Jason, don't do it again.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Oh man, I'm so sorry. I think that I'm sorry.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a little sorry, but I'm not really sorry.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I just usually not that harsh on people. I just
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: found that this one was like a little bit and
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: just felt.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: It is It's exactly what you said at the beginning.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: It's clickbaity. It doesn't feel genuine. It's like if we
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: knew him to be like a gigantic Swifty.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Well, that's his whole thing is he's trying to lean
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: into being a Swifty right now. Like he just makes
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: it seem like he became a huge Schiller Swift fan
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: like two or three months ago. And he keeps doing
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: reels on her because I think that he knows that
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: they do well. And of course I'm not shaming that
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I do reels that I think will do well too.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: That is part of our business. I think that there
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: is just something about this one you know, we will
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: move on to his ex Caitlin Brissot, who is going
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: to return to Dancing with the Stars for the twentieth anniversary.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: She and Joey are both going to go hit the stage.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: It's going to be called a relay Dance Round, and
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: former Mirror World champions are going to get paired up
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: and they're going to dance with current competitors. Joey is
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: going to get paired up with Alex Earl is currently
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: on the show, and Caitlin is with oh my gosh,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: what's his name, Andy Richter? Oh my gosh, Yes, that's right, Okay,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: I was sorry.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: She's gonna be paired with Indie Richter, who is like
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: a dark horse in this whole season, Like everybody's obsessed
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: with the fact that, like he's gotten this far. Nobody's
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: really sure is he good? Though? Because I was. I
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: was actually on a here's my name drop moment. I
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: was on Stars on Mars with Indie Richter, and he
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: and I almost died together. We were on a private plane.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: We were on a private plane in the middle of
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: effing nowhere, Australia, you guys. I did not see a
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: house on the ground for two like an hour and
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: a half in the air, and there's this guy is
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: putting our luggage in the backup. I'm already very scared
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: that it's a private plane and he's putting his our
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: luggage in the back of a private plane. A four seater,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: A four seater, not a Luxy four seater. What was
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: very scary about this private plane ride was that there
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: was no co pilot. Okay, so I think I was
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: with Andy Richard at a time that possibly we could
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: have died because nobody would have been able to fly
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: the plane if this guy had a heart attack.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Maybe Andy Richter knows how to fly a.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Plane, maybe he does. But anyway, Caitlin will be dancing
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: with him as part of this, and I know that
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: she's rehearsing with Sasha, which is Jen's X. So much Bachelor,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: so many Bachelor connections and ties, a.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Lot, a lot. I'm excited though, because you know, Caitlin
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: is obviously a phenomenal dancer. Joey crushed it last season,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: and Joey's also doing the Dancing with the Stars podcast,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: and you know, the season just seems to be really
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: really crushing it with the audience.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: People are like, yeah, people are obsessed this season. I
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: have never gotten into Dancing with the Stars, and I
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: feel bad because I've had friends on it. I just
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, guys, I watch your dance and then
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: I basically turn it off.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: I will say this season, the Dancing of the Stars
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: has really like leveled up. Like Alex Earl's fantastic Whitney
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: from you know, Secret Lives is fantastic, But usually we
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: get more Andy Richters, we get these people that have
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: a background, and so I think that's what's kind of
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: setting him apart this season, and what people are rooting
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: for is like his level of dance was not on
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: that level and it is increasing as the week by.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: But yeah, people, that's how the show used to be.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: We used to have like ten Andy Richters and maybe one.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Gid Yeah, so you know, yeah, it was like the
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: first round of American Idol auditions exactly. Yeah, and then
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: they get old those auditions. Our final headline of the
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: week is is Ari Lyondyke documents his last car race. So,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: as you guys know, Ari and Lauren had their fourth
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: child this year, a baby girl, Livy, and just recently
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Ari decided that it was time to end his love
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: for racing. He said this weekend, I joke to Vegas
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: for my last sprint car race. After going back and forth,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I just knew in my heart that pursuing my goal
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: of winning races was just going to be a huge commitment.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: And I was like, interesting. So it was a huge
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: love of a goal, big commitment. But he doesn't want
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: to take it on because he says that putting everything
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: on the line for these last few tents wasn't something
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: that I could do in that car, and I was like, Okay,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: I don't understand what the heck that means. I was
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: just thinking about the Brad Pitt movie. Well it was
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: it was good. Really, I like that movie F one
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: f one. I learned things from that movie, and I
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: was trying to use the education here. But Ari went
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: on to describe a little bit more. He actually says,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: it's hard to describe when someone hasn't actually a different one,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: but you're holding onto a one thousand horsepower rocket and
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: the risk is huge if something breaks or a pass
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: doesn't go as planned and you end up in the wall.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I'm just in a different place in life right now,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: and that's not a bad thing. So I totally understand
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: he's basically just not risking his He's deciding to not
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: risk his life anymore because he has four kids.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: I'm curious, was there anything that you or Jared gave
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: up when you guys started kids, like or anything that
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: you've I don't know, Like some people are interested in,
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: like going skydiving, but then the second they have kids,
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: they're like, I'm gonna rethink that skydiving thing.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not really risk takers, like physically, so not really.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: I think that like both of us would we both
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: probably would go skydiving, but we probably both won't now.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Kind of like that, I wouldn't say that we really
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: gave up anything. I wish I could have a better,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: more interesting answer for you.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: I totally understand Jared.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Wants to ride a motorcycle. He's always wanted to be
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Tom Cruise on a motorcycle, and I've always said, no,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: you're not allowed to do that, and he especially is
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: not allowed to do that now because my dad, as
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: a doctor, calls them suicycles.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Did you so? I was gonna ask you if you
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: grew up in a house like mine where my mom
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: told me growing up, if I ever catch you on
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: the back of a motorcycle. You were going to be
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: in so much trouble and then yeah, ended up marrying
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: her husband had a motorcycle, and then as soon as
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: they had a child, the motorcycle was sold.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Really okay, good, good, Sorry to everybody out there. I'm
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: just apologizing a lot for just being honest today.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: No.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you want to ride it, most of
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: it's fine, but like they're freaking dangerous. Alrighty. Tomorrow Heather
