• 0:05
  Speaker 2: It's almost famous podcast.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: We are here today to break down the headlines happening
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: in Bachelor Nation. And there are some big ones, big ones.
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: Big ones. There's a huge one that was a huge one.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Let's kick it off with what I believe is the biggest. Actually,
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: I want to preface this was saying there is so
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: much I want to say on this issue, so much
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: that originally because I think of the confusion, the severity.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: The.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: How radically weird it was, I honestly didn't know how
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: to even like review it or analyze it here when
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: this first happened years ago, I think I never did.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: I didn't do a good job personally of giving Clayton
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Ecker the benefit of the doubt because I was like this,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: there's no way this isn't true. This is so crazy,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: there's no way something this crazy is happening.
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: Too crazy that you couldn't script it right.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: You couldn't script it. And so now as we come
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: to a conclusion on the matter, there is still so
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: much I want to say in support of Clayton, but
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: also questions I want to raise and ask about this
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: situation because it still feels so crazy to me that
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: this is true.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: So let's let's yeah, get let's get into it, and
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: then we're gonna have to have you explain what kind
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: of questions are.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I don't think I could even say him, because I
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: feel like I could give myself into trouble saying him.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: That's why I'm sitting here. Come, I don't know. Here
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: we go. Here's the headline. I'm gonna read a word
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: for a word.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Con artist Laura Owens charge with seven felonies for lying
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: about pregnancy with Clayton Eckerd. This is according to the
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: San Francisco Chronicle. Now listen to this con artist Laura Owens,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: who's the daughter of radio legend Ron Owens, is charge
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: with seven felonies for lying about pregnancy with Clayton Eckerd.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Ashley. Please take it away before I get myself into trouble.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: So I want to spread hearst here.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: I read somewhere that she made up seven pregnancies. But
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: this is about Clayton's case. This is this this week,
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: this big headline was that Clayton is off, you know,
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: like that it's been proven by the court that she
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: was lying about the twin pregnancy that she said that
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: she had with Clayton, even though Clayton said that that
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: would have been impossible as they never had intercourse. There
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: was some oral stuff going on during their hook up,
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: but there was no intercourse. But she said that she
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: was pregnant with twins if you guys don't remember the story,
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: and that she later misscarried. But she was like asking
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: for she was asking for the what's it called? Like,
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: oh my god, how am I blanking on this? The
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: parental support, child support and stuff from him? This week
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: it came out the court ruled that she is a
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: big fat.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Liar, right, Okay, So we'll pause there to ask my
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: first question.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I know it is okay to ask.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: At what point don't you have to have kids? Like
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: she would have had to have the children to then
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: get parental support?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Right? So yeah, how did.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: She think this was going to play out? The confusing
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: part to me again, I'm going to filter my questions.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I know a lot of you out there going this
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: is crazy. How did this even happen? And your your
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: questions are valid. I just don't want to say in
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: publicly because there is a you know, I guess the
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: court case is over, but there is a conclusion now
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: and hopefully everybody can move on. But my first thought is,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: how did she think this was going to end? Like,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: how did was this going to play out to where
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: she won this case? Because you're in the court, they
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: don't just say, hey, we'll take your word for it.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: They investigate, are you pregnant? Are you not?
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Is it Clayton's child? Is it not Clayton's child? Is
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: it Clayton's twins? Is it not Clayton's twins? Do these
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: twins even exist? These are the questions that would have
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: been asked, and at some point you would have had
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: to prove that all of this is true. Now, I
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: didn't hear seven. I heard three other cases.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: Okay, well this was supposed to be twins. So maybe
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: she was always saying it's twins.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: It's this is And so I think now's the appropriate
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: time because I'll be honest about me personally and about
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Bachelor Nation in general. I think due to some very
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: wild circumstances that we just talked to Clayton about. You
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: can go back and listen to it in his life
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: right coming off the show and during the show, he
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: did get you know he was, as Nick Files said,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: the human punching bag.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: He got hit on.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: All sides, and it felt like this was a very
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: chaotic season for him him and I did not give
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: him the benefit of the doubt. I don't think Bachelor
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Nation came in wild support of him, because I do
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: think this was one of those situations to give the
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: excuse here where it was so ridiculously outrageously crazy that
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: we're like, there's no way this has no threat of
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: truth to it, because what human would make up these
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: lies and take it to court knowing that an investigation
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: would pursue and still sticking by the story that yes,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I am pregnant with twins, so that's and so I
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: think at least me personally said there's no way this
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: isn't true. So I'll take this time yeah to say
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I am sorry, Clayton.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I am sorry to I am very.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Sorry because I did jump to conclusions based on the circumstances,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: and again, one of many times in my life, I
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: was wrong on what I thought happened, and then it
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: happened from an outside perspective with somebody with limited knowledge
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: who probably shouldn't have shared an opinion in j or
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: all on this, but that's kind of my job here,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: is to read the headlines and share an opinion. And
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: again I think, as I look back, I shared the
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: opinion I did because this seems so crazy, and now
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: that it has proven to be this crazy, in this
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: outlandish and this wild, and this is something you couldn't
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: script that he'll probably make millions upon millions of dollars
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: some because somebody's going to pick this up for entertainment.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: This is a lifetime story, a lifetime original movie.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: And he should make millions on it. I was wrong,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: and I am sorry, and I want to come public
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: and say that because I was not one of those
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: that stood by his side since the beginning, and now
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I want to share that I feel. I feel bad
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: about it, and I'm also still in shock that this
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: situation ever happened.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: Okay, but Ben, you are making yourself sound way worse
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: than it was. Like we've believed him for quite some
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: time now, and even when we were skeptical, we were skeptical,
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: We were never in full belief.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Of this stuff.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: We were STiMi thought that there was maybe some truth
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: to it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Had to be some truth to it. This can't be
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: that crazy without having true to it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: I think like you and I were like, but was
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: it really just I mean, sorry, sorry, I know this
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: is trying to be a PG program usually, but like,
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: was was it really just oral?
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: She's going to pretend that she got pregnant on oral?
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: That was some of the questions we asked.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: And I thought at the time we were going down
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: a path that was helping this thing make sense. And yes,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I would say I was more skeptical. I was never
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: sitting here with you privately or publicly being like there, Clayton, gosh,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: this is he's so messed over here?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Why would he do this?
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: No, we were like what more skeptical, But I think
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: our skepticism came off of wanting to believe her, for one,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: because who would take this to court unless there was
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: some truth to it? And it wasn't true? And so
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I would say this is one of the wildest stories
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: to ever happen on the headline for the almost famous podcast.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: In the last nine and a half years of doing this,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: this has to go down as like one of the
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: craziest headlines.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: I agree, it probably is the longest lasting crazy headline
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: we've had.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: All right, next headline is this F one fans slam
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Bachelor star for flashing drivers at race. This is how
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: you cause Arek is the quote that I'm going to say.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: That's come for me. It's going to wreck.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: You flash somebody going about two hundred miles an hour.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: You're right, that's extremely dangerous. That's not a laughing matter.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: No, it's crazy anybody. Yeah, goodness, please don't do that
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: Ever, this headline is so overdone. When I read it,
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: just as they intended when they wrote it, I was like,
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: how disgusting, Maria. That's awful. There are children there. That
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: is extremely distracting. It's just kind of piggy, right, Well,
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: it really wasn't that bad. When I went to go
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: watch the TikTok, uh the she does, I don't think,
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: she says in the comments in response to people saying
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: this is gross, she said, I didn't actually do it,
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: And when you watch the TikTok you can tell she
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: didn't actually do it.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: It was just like a montage of them showing like
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: how crazy they were at the F one.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Race.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: It was like not a big deal.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: So she didn't really flash him as what we're.
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: Saying, I don't think, so, I mean based on like
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: the view that I see on TikTok No. Also, she
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: says in the comments, she didn't so I kind of
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: believe her.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: I believe her on this one.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, here we go.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Next headline is this The Bachelor's Madison pruit Trout. Madison
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Preuit Trout has a new book coming The cover is
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: now released. It's all Dare to Be True.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: I'm looking. I think the article says that she's had
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: two books.
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: Come out, and I'm like, this is her second, but
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: I'm like, no, this is their third, her third, It
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: is her third. Okay, yeah, Mattie has her third book
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: coming out.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: It's crazy.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: She's only twenty eight years old. I feel like Maddie
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: is so beyond her years. She had made for this moment,
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: come out in twenty twenty one, The Love Everybody Wants
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: in twenty twenty three, and this year she will have
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: Dare to Be True come out. People had the exclusive
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: first look on it, and she says that she knows
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: how it feels to be stuck, bound by bound by lies,
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: burdened by past mistakes and shame, confused by the noise
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: in the world around me. Before I wrote my first book.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: Before even The Bachelor, I chased a version of myself
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: that I believed would lead to a happier, freear me. Instead,
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: it led me into deeper confusion. So that's why she
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: wanted to write the book. She wrote it for the
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: woman who was tired of proteid performing, who is exhausted
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: at trying to be someone that she's not.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Whoa sounds like every Bachelor contestant, male and female. We
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: could all read that and benefit from it, can Yeah,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Speaking of books, Golden Bachelor lum Gary Turner has a

  Speaker 3: It's called Golden Years.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, I didn't know.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: This subtitle is what I've learned from love, loss and
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: reality television.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: Who the heck doesn't have a book? Gary is going
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: to be yeah, you're right me. He is going to
• 11:43

• 11:51
  Speaker 5: about his unbelievable experiences on The Golden Bachelor and the
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: life lessons that he took away from both. So it's

• 12:01
  Speaker 5: but also a book for those who are dealing with grief.

  Speaker 3: We're excited for Gary and Maddie. It is always a
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: big a constument to come out with a book.

  Speaker 2: It takes a lot of work, a lot of time,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of effort, a lot of what.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: I don't have a book. It's too much focus.

• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, no, Like he has to be the best dude
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: ever because he has.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: You have your own opinion on mail influencers. I know,
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: and he is a straight up male influencer.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah cool.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know what he's known for, like what his
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: shtick is.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: He does have a podcast called Unfiltered.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: His face is very familiar.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: To me, but I don't know much about him, and
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry if this shows my mi millennial.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it shows your age definitely. All right.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Well, doesn't feel like people are thrilled on the dating relationship,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: and people also aren't thrilled with ari Lyendyke Junior right now.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: He talks about being roasted for breaking up with Becca
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Koufrin for Lauren and then recently he showed it looks
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: like the People magazine cover that says the Bachelor betrayal.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: It's really he is not.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: He's looking back on Becca and saying, Wow, what a
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: time we had. And he does look back on the
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: People magazine cover and says, I remember hating the photos
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: they chose. I think he didn't like the photos that
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: they chose, because I might be rotting into this quote,
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: but I feel like he was like, oh, they're just like,
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: it's not supposed to make us look like the joyful,
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: happy couple, because we're supposed to sort of look like villains,
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: So they kind of chose crappy pictures of us. And
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: I'm looking at the picture and I'm like, you know what,
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: it's not the best picture of you guys, he does.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: It does feel like a lifetime ago. But look at
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: us now, we have our fourth kid on the way.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: He said, he knew that we were gonna be roasted,
• 15:56

• 15:59
  Speaker 5: have made it through with it outer.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: And here we are. It's just like seven years later,
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: like it's.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: More of a it's more of the their low, their low,

  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think that went down in a
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: very It wasn't supported by Bachelor Nation, is what I
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: should say.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: And now they're very supported by Bachelor Nation.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: They definitely turned the corner there. Speaking of support for
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Bachelor Nation, unseen audition tapes are finally dropping. Here's where
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: and when to watch this. According to the Bachelor Nation,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: it's always been something that I think.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Would be a good idea.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: They're hilarious, they're wacky, they're weird, and it helps us
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: get to know the people even better. I wish they
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: would be shown like on a portal as each cast
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: member is announced, so that we could watch them then,
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: so we'd be like, oh, this makes you make more
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: sense to us.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: But they're dropping Ashley to us more.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Okay, So Bachelor Nation is kind of like the overarching
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: account website Instagram blahlah blah that like shows extra content
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: and Bachelor News. Somebody is new is running it over there,
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: and people are catching on. I think there's somebody new
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: running it because there are some good ideas that are
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: popping up and people are making comments in the comment
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: section saying like, wow, you guys are really like spruce
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: it up over here, like way to go for the
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: new admin. They're doing this, and they're doing this LTK thing.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: To talk about that on another date, but right now,
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: they are releasing the audition tapes that nobody's ever seen,
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: starting on May fourteenth on their YouTube series. It's gonna
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: be a new YouTube series. It's called The Bachelor Audition Tapes.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: They have them from Joey Hannah. They're gonna be starting
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: with Joey's Hannah, Gabby. They have Charity And I texted
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: Ben last night. I was like, man, they really like
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: they've they've really forgotten our generation. It's all good. I mean, like,
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: you know, I like to should be in show love
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: a little bit. You know, it was success stor It's fun.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: I feel a little left out. Because my audition tape
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: was quite something. It was insane, and they were like,
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: this girl's insane, let's get her on the show. But
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: I said that back in our day, nothing was digital.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: I sent in mine on a flash drive in a
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: FedEx envelope, so I don't know that they have those
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: just sitting on a desk. They probably had some digital
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: dropbox for these fresh new youngins.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: What about you.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, I didn't think of it that way.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh, this is weird that all these
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: things are being announced and you know, I don't know
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: anything about it, and that's fine. I think we've come
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: to terms with that. But I didn't think, oh, I
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: wish mine would be shown because mine was so ridiculously
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: bad and I put zero effort into it. Yours is
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: great and actually really fun to watch. I sat on
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: the deck and like at a lunch break, and answered
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: questions that my bot, like one of the my bosses
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: was asking me. And there was even like somebody in
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: the background like sitting chilling too, and I had like
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: my white tube socks on. I remember that, So I
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: don't really care. I don't think it was that interesting,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: but I think this is a good idea, and I
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: do wish they would show yours. I bet they do
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: end up showing yours, mostly.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Because they're gonna rip it from my Instagram.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because yours is so good. It is iconic, Like
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: yours is so.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: Good, you're very sweet.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: It's iconic. But it never really been seen. No, I
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: did post it on Instagram five years ago, and yesterday
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: at our almost famous text jut Chain, I went and
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: I scrolled scrolled gold back and I copied and paste
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: the link so everybody could see it. I'm reading comments
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: from our producers right now. They want me to introduce
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: a clip so they can use the audio right here
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: in the podcast. So, guys, this was me getting out
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: of the limo, hoping that the Bachelor was going to
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: be Jeff Home.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: It was actually my sister with a plate on her face.
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: I talk about really cringey stuff about how I'm a virgin,
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: and because I knew that was gonna get their ears
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: price still, I went through a whole series, like a
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: whole season in three minutes.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: So and here cute Amadia.
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: Ooh, here I'm Ashley Conneddi. I'm twenty five, I go

  Speaker 6: my masters in broadcasting.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: I love football, food.
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: Cooking, pop music, especially boy bands, and I can't wait
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: to know more about you.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: I'll see you inside. I love everything about pop culture.
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: I love storytelling, and I know this is not something
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: that you're supposed to be on a first date, but
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: I'm such a pisces, so I'm optimistic and so dreamy
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: and hopeless romantic almost to a fault. I feel like
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: that's the reason why I'm not that much of an
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: experienced dater, because there's no romance in today's society. Guys
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: are always like do you want to hang out? Instead
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: of do you want to go out with me? And
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: I just feel like I should be treated like a princess.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: I know it's cliche, but I just really want that
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: fairytale romance. I'm so excited that you're here in my hometown.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: This is great Falls Park. I usually like coming here and.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: Getting a whole bunch of food and just sitting by
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: the water.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: I think that's the perfect date.
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: Well. As much as I'd love to spend the night
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: with you without cameras, I have to tell you something
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: and I don't tell many people this. I'm a virgin Ashally,
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: please accept this Rose. Yes, I'm a pretty good writer,
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: but I'm having a hard time writing the story of
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: my own romance ABC.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: I'm hoping you'll help me write the first chapter. And
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: then I have another producer of ours saying did you
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: hire a videographer? Well, actually, I was in my capstone
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: at grad school at this point, so that was like
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: our internship month and a half, and I was a
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: sports concentration, so I didn't have my DC capstone the
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: way that the hard news kids had. But my good
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: friends were in DC, and you know, my parents' houses
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: a half an hour from and we had access to
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: all our school's camera equipment. So one day she came
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: over with the with a nice big camera, a huge tripod,
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: a couple love mics, and we did the damn thing.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: As becka Couperin would say.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yours is great, it's worth watching. It's you know,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: this is a great project. I really think this needs
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: to become a thing before every season starts, so we
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: get to know people better. Hey, that's all the headlines
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: we have for you today. Some big ones out there,
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: some ones that I was wrong in my skepticism on again,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: I want to apologize for that, but we'll continue to
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: bring you headlines the good, the bad, the ugly, the tough,
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: the difficult, the weird, the chaotic, because that's what Bachelor
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Nation does. So until next time, I've been Ben, I've
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Been Ashley.
