Speaker 1: This is the Benn and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
0:03
Speaker 1: with her radio. It is another episode of the Almost
0:07
Speaker 1: Famous podcast I Am a Jerk? Why because when we
0:12
Speaker 1: got on video today, you you have two braces on
0:19
Speaker 1: your wrists and uh, and I was worried. I'm still
0:22
Speaker 1: I'm worried. I know it's a real thing. But I said, Ashley,
0:26
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, what did you do? And you said,
0:32
Speaker 1: I have mommy wrist otherwise known as mommy thumb, otherwise
0:38
Speaker 1: known as something really intense sounding that I don't know
0:41
Speaker 1: how to pronounce. And it happens, and I giggled and
0:45
Speaker 1: and it wasn't nice of me. I just have to
0:47
Speaker 1: admit it to everybody. I wasn't not nice of me.
0:51
Speaker 1: You laugh. But Jared rolls his eyes every time, like
0:54
Speaker 1: I say out every time I show pain, and he's like, what,
1:01
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's my mommy wrist. He's like, nobody takes
1:06
Speaker 1: mommy wrists seriously, but guys, it really hurts. Basically, it's tendonitis,
1:11
Speaker 1: it's a strain. It's actually like it's an injury to
1:15
Speaker 1: your wrist. So that happens from lifting up your baby.
1:18
Speaker 1: And you know, just like I'm not used to lifting
1:21
Speaker 1: things up like that, you know that motion, you know
1:23
Speaker 1: if if you guys can see me a video, it's
1:25
Speaker 1: like a swooping up motion. You're not used to, like
1:28
Speaker 1: twisting your wrists and like your thumb holding a bottle
1:31
Speaker 1: all the time. So I'd say maybe like two months
1:35
Speaker 1: into motherhood, I started feeling a strain um on the
1:40
Speaker 1: inside of my wrists and it's just gotten worse and
1:44
Speaker 1: worse and worse. And Jared and I had a vacation
1:46
Speaker 1: last week, and I thought a couple of days without
1:48
Speaker 1: Dawson picking up and picking him up and bottle feeding
1:51
Speaker 1: and all that I would get a little recovery from it.
1:55
Speaker 1: But but not at all, actually not at all. And
1:59
Speaker 1: my dad, and he's doctor. I go, Dad, I need
2:01
Speaker 1: to go make an appointment to get like a cortozone
2:03
Speaker 1: shot or like this surgery that they do. So I
2:07
Speaker 1: posted this on Instagram. I said, anybody have any experience
2:10
Speaker 1: with mommy wrisk? Holy crap, only so many women have
2:14
Speaker 1: mommy wrist and we don't talk about it. Another thing
2:17
Speaker 1: we don't talk about about motherhood. And so many girls
2:21
Speaker 1: were like, get the braces, make sure you get the
2:23
Speaker 1: braces that enable um that disable your thumb, put ice
2:27
Speaker 1: on it. Girls were saying, like, go get a cortozone shot.
2:30
Speaker 1: They and others were saying, get the surgery, and I
2:33
Speaker 1: was like, surgery sounds intense. It's actually like they just
2:36
Speaker 1: numb the area and slice your wrist open a little
2:39
Speaker 1: bit and they like fix the tendon whatever. But it's
2:43
Speaker 1: very common and we just don't talk about it. But
2:46
Speaker 1: I could just go, you know, this is a mommy thing,
2:47
Speaker 1: a mommy thinking that I can go on and on
2:50
Speaker 1: and on about. But you're probably already bored, and I'm
2:52
Speaker 1: just not like you talk and I'm just like blah
2:53
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. I'm sure the mom's out there
2:57
Speaker 1: are screaming, Yes, somebody else is in a camp where
3:00
Speaker 1: you aren't alone. You aren't alone in this Ashley. In fact,
3:04

3:08
Speaker 1: a big group. I've just never heard of it before.
3:11
Speaker 1: I have to tell you this one little story though.
3:13

Speaker 1: more than she thinks she does. I think she You know,
4:15
Speaker 1: I just get scared. I get scared of getting it wrong.
4:19
Speaker 1: I get scared of people thinking that I have judging
4:21
Speaker 1: a book by its cover. Well, here's the deal. People
4:24
Speaker 1: are gonna get mad no matter what they know. This
4:27
Speaker 1: is all and fun. We know nothing about these guys
4:29
Speaker 1: I've never met these men. I have no clue who
4:31
Speaker 1: they are or really what they do or what their
4:34
Speaker 1: personalities are. Like this is a picture in this a name.
4:36
Speaker 1: So here's what you do, listeners, you pull up their
4:39
Speaker 1: pictures and go along with us. You have your fantasy
4:42
Speaker 1: drafts coming up. You need some research done. We're giving
4:46
Speaker 1: our information to you so that you can take that
4:49
Speaker 1: information and make some decisions for yourself as you draft
4:52
Speaker 1: these men based on your first impression from pictures. No
4:58
Speaker 1: spoilers here, we know nothing, So pull up your pictures,
5:01
Speaker 1: right the pictures, guys, it's way better like that. And
5:05
Speaker 1: uh and here we go. All right, let's dive into it.
5:18
Speaker 1: Let's start Ashley. I will announce the name and location
5:22
Speaker 1: and job title, and you give your first impression. I'll
5:26
Speaker 1: follow up. Come on, alright, let's do half and half. Okay,
5:31
Speaker 1: all right, well, let me get started here. Here we go. First,
5:35
Speaker 1: one is Alec. Alec is twenty seven years old. He's
5:38
Speaker 1: a wedding photographer, so he's into love from Houston, Texas.
5:44
Speaker 1: He's cute. These pictures are great. With a white background,
5:48
Speaker 1: everybody looks more attractive. They've really learned, They have really learned.
5:51
Speaker 1: I still want to know what in the world they're
5:53
Speaker 1: thinking before. My first impression of Alec is exactly what
5:58
Speaker 1: I said. This man is look king and he is
6:01
Speaker 1: ready for love. He just might be a little over
6:03
Speaker 1: zealous in the hopeless romantic category. Second one is even
6:09
Speaker 1: even His twenty eight years old. He's a sales executive
6:12
Speaker 1: from San Diego, California. Okay, he has a Thomas vibe
6:17
Speaker 1: as well as a Josh Murray vibe. There's a mix there.
6:23
Speaker 1: So which direction do you see think Avan's gonna go? Obviously,
6:26
Speaker 1: Thomas became one of bachel Nation's favorites, where Josh Murray, well,
6:32
Speaker 1: he's just staying around anymore. Um, I think he's gonna
6:36
Speaker 1: be a prominent character. The guys may not like him, Yeah,
6:40
Speaker 1: I think when I look at even from his picture,
6:44
Speaker 1: I feel, uh like he is going to be intimidating.
6:49
Speaker 1: Is it not intimidating? Yeah, not in like a bully
6:52
Speaker 1: type way, but intimidating in like a he's well rounded. Yeah, yeah,
6:58
Speaker 1: and so it matters if he is a humble gentleman
7:01
Speaker 1: or not. Next one is Brandon. Brandon is twenty three
7:05
Speaker 1: years old. He's a bartender from Carl's Bag, California. All
7:10
Speaker 1: I gotta say is tree, This guy looks deep into
7:15
Speaker 1: his thirties. Yeah, wise wise above his years. That's a
7:19
Speaker 1: nice way of saying it. But he's a nice, handsome man.
7:21
Speaker 1: He just definitely looks older than his age. Twenty three
7:24
Speaker 1: is surprising here. Um. Typically I look at people from
7:28
Speaker 1: the seasons you know now that I'm in my early
7:32
Speaker 1: to mid thirties, and I say, wow, they look like children.
7:36
Speaker 1: Well Brandon does not. He looks like a man that
7:38
Speaker 1: I would listen to for wisdom. Up next, we have Chris.
7:43
Speaker 1: He is a thirty year old mentality coach from Rodondo Beach, California.
7:50
Speaker 1: What is a mentality coach? It's all of different things. Yeah,
7:55
Speaker 1: it can you actually know, I actually do know. It
7:57
Speaker 1: can be an athletics. Athletics it's a big deal or
8:00
Speaker 1: especially like the I mean every sport has a huge
8:03
Speaker 1: mental like component to it, but golf and baseball where
8:07
Speaker 1: you have to stay focused on a little thing, you know,
8:11
Speaker 1: either moving or not moving and uh, and it's just
8:14
Speaker 1: it's helping you get your mind right. I think in
8:17
Speaker 1: life you get a lot of mentality coaches with leaders
8:21
Speaker 1: or you know, parents who just need like some coaching
8:25
Speaker 1: on how to keep their mind in a healthy and
8:27
Speaker 1: good place. So it's not a therapist to where you're
8:31
Speaker 1: working through trauma necessarily. It's more of how do you
8:37
Speaker 1: keep your mind sharp? Oh okay, So it's not like
8:41
Speaker 1: he is a manifesting coach or is it also along
8:44
Speaker 1: those lines? It could be. I mean, I don't know.
8:46
Speaker 1: We don't have a lot of background to what he's
8:48
Speaker 1: a mentality coach for um, he might have some man
8:53
Speaker 1: like I know in mentality coaches in sports because I've
8:57
Speaker 1: I've been around those. They do a lot of visualization,
9:00
Speaker 1: like visualize your next shot, or visualize hitting a home
9:04
Speaker 1: run or so, yeah, I mean in a way, I
9:07
Speaker 1: mean possibly Colin's thirty six years old sales director from Chicago, Illinois.
9:13
Speaker 1: Colin he gives me throwbacks to one of my friends
9:16
Speaker 1: ex boyfriends, who oddly is also in sales in Chicago
9:20
Speaker 1: and just about the same age and has a very
9:23
Speaker 1: similar look. I'd say he's gonna have salesman vibes, like
9:31
Speaker 1: very outgoing, very friendly, but like maybe with a little
9:36
Speaker 1: bit of a sense of phoniness. Yeah, I don't, you know.
9:39
Speaker 1: When I look at Colin Um, it feels like he's
9:44
Speaker 1: gonna try really hard. Yeah, he's gonna try really hard.
9:47
Speaker 1: Good or bad, He's just gonna try really hard. Hey,
9:50
Speaker 1: try really hard in a way that like May grows
9:52
Speaker 1: out girls. Yeah, listeners, please go through all these people
9:56
Speaker 1: with us. Um, just go through, have your first impressions,
10:00

Speaker 1: is Eric. Eric is twenty nine years old. He's a
10:08
Speaker 1: real estate analyst from Bedminster, New Jersey. Okay, so I'm
10:14
Speaker 1: going to say that he is going to be pretty
10:18
Speaker 1: well liked and he's gonna sound like Nick File because
10:21
Speaker 1: he has that look. Yeah, you know Nick like he
10:25
Speaker 1: doesn't want to be compared to anybody physically, and Nick
10:29
Speaker 1: is far. He's a handsome he is. You know you're
10:34
Speaker 1: saying this. You're saying this to make Nick very happy.
10:37
Speaker 1: Right now. You're worried he's going to listen to this
10:38
Speaker 1: and be like, oh, there's Ashley and you know, comparing
10:41
Speaker 1: me to somebody, there's a look okay, right with the
10:43
Speaker 1: same coloring, in the same scruff, in the same hair texture. Yeah,

11:02
Speaker 1: seven years old. He's an advertising executive from New York,
11:05
Speaker 1: New York. Ethan's a good looking guy. Um. I just
11:11
Speaker 1: feel like Ethan is going to be that guy in
11:14
Speaker 1: the house that when trouble and chaos is swirling around.
11:20
Speaker 1: He's been in rooms because he is an executive where
11:23
Speaker 1: chaos in turmoil is swirling around and he'll just know
11:27
Speaker 1: how to handle it. Like he'll be that quiet, wise voice.
11:31
Speaker 1: He might not be loud, but he might not be
11:36
Speaker 1: loud enough to be seen, but he's gonna be out
11:38
Speaker 1: of the drama. Okay, Okay, get behind that, you take
11:43
Speaker 1: over now, all right. Next up we have Hayden, who
11:50
Speaker 1: looks like Tony Romo old. Actually, you can't say the
11:56
Speaker 1: name and tell me their age and where they're from
11:59
Speaker 1: and also take the first impression away from me. Okay, sorry,
12:04
Speaker 1: I just can't do. That's unfair to me. Okay. Hayden
12:08
Speaker 1: year old leisure executive whatever the heck that means, Tampa, Florida.
12:12
Speaker 1: He looks like he looks like he looks like an
12:15
Speaker 1: announcer he's going to be on sports. He's like he
12:20
Speaker 1: he maybe played some sports. Not I mean Tony Romo
12:25
Speaker 1: played obviously, but like Hayden is the guy that was
12:28
Speaker 1: always the expert in sports. Maybe wasn't didn't come off
12:32
Speaker 1: the bench very often, but he sure knows the game. Okay, okay, yes,
12:39
Speaker 1: Next up, we have twenty seven year old mortgage broker
12:42
Speaker 1: from Scottsdale, Arizona, and his name is Jacob Jacob. Oh,
12:49
Speaker 1: Jacob Jacob's going home at night one? Um, why no,
12:57
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's not cute. I'm saying Jacob goes
13:00
Speaker 1: home on night one because he he wears something like
13:05
Speaker 1: I just picturing him being the guy that comes in
13:08
Speaker 1: and like a hotdog suit and it just doesn't go
13:11
Speaker 1: over a well, Like, he doesn't show how good looking
13:14
Speaker 1: he is because he thinks that if he does that,
13:17
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really funny. He gets convinced by producers
13:20
Speaker 1: to do something stupid. All right, and again I can
13:23
Speaker 1: get behind that fury, but there's two girls that are
13:28
Speaker 1: choosing guys, so like, he's too cute to not make
13:31
Speaker 1: it through night one in my opinion, But you know,
13:32
Speaker 1: I guess there's always the grocery store Joe that people
13:35
Speaker 1: are left speechless. Next up, we have James, a twenty
13:40
Speaker 1: five year old meatball enthusiasts. Now, is he going to
13:46
Speaker 1: be our sequel to Pizza Pete? Remember Pizza Peter? Yeah?

13:54
Speaker 1: Pizza pe was not fun, not enjoyable year old meat Yes,
13:59
Speaker 1: you heard to write a me eat ball enthusiasts. Uh,
14:03
Speaker 1: this guy, I mean we've had the food people before.
14:06
Speaker 1: Grocery store Joe barely got away with it, meaning he
14:10
Speaker 1: got let go on night one, and then he kind
14:12
Speaker 1: of owned that he was into food and it was
14:15
Speaker 1: cute for a while and then he's like, I don't

14:47
Speaker 1: old investment baker from Santa Monica California, Jason to me.

14:59
Speaker 1: I have a fe lane that, uh that Jason is
15:03
Speaker 1: going to do fine during this season. However, I think
15:08
Speaker 1: he messes up at some point, like he's like one
15:10
Speaker 1: of the fan favorites until he's not. That's kind of
15:14
Speaker 1: that's the story. I'm like the vibe I'm getting. He
15:17
Speaker 1: he means well, he's gonna have a great time in Paradise,
15:22
Speaker 1: but he just he just doesn't rock, you know, the
15:26
Speaker 1: Bachelor at Okay. I see mikeel buble in his face,
15:31
Speaker 1: and I also think that he's going to be like
15:35
Speaker 1: the best friend character in a rom com, like a
15:38
Speaker 1: John Krasinski. Oh nice, maybe a little friend zoned. That's okay.
15:44

Speaker 1: I yes, I see that. Like in this picture, his
19:14
Speaker 1: whitey tidies are a little too tight because he basically
19:18
Speaker 1: wants to do the risky business slide with Jared in
19:22
Speaker 1: a very non sexual way. I say that, Yeah, there
19:26
Speaker 1: you go. Hey Jordan vs. Twenty seven year old drag
19:30
Speaker 1: race here from Alpha Retta, Georgia. A drag racer? Is
19:35
Speaker 1: that like an occupation? Can you do? Be? A Dragon's
19:39
Speaker 1: a dragstrip right by my house here in Colorado? It's
19:41
Speaker 1: a big deal. Oh really? I thought it was like
19:44
Speaker 1: something you do as a hobby on the road. No, No,
19:47
Speaker 1: it's a it's a real it's a real thing. Jordan's um, Jordan, Jordan,
19:54
Speaker 1: Jordan's just like a young thing, like young vibes, young,
19:58
Speaker 1: youthful vibe. I think that the girls are gonna be
20:01
Speaker 1: like he's too boyish. Jordan likes to go fast. Jordan's
20:05
Speaker 1: obviously by his profession. He likes to go fast in
20:08
Speaker 1: all things relationships, racing. Um, He's gonna speak fast, talk
20:13
Speaker 1: fast because he's a racer and he's used to getting
20:16
Speaker 1: that adrenaline rush. Being stuck in a house with a
20:19
Speaker 1: bunch of guys sitting around drinking and eating all the
20:21
Speaker 1: time is going to drive him crazy, and I think
20:25
Speaker 1: drive him pun intended. There you go, Hey, Justin Bees
20:28
Speaker 1: thirty two years old. He's a physical therapist from Solano Beach, California. Stability.
20:36
Speaker 1: That's what this man says to me, the opposite. To me,
20:40
Speaker 1: it sounds like he's selfish. He spends because he spends
20:45
Speaker 1: forty five minutes of morning on that hair. I mean
20:47
Speaker 1: he that that does not come naturally. He showers conditions below, drives,
20:53
Speaker 1: curls combs, puts a little hair spray in it, then
20:56
Speaker 1: a little gel, then fluffs it again to get that
20:59
Speaker 1: perfect shine, and then he and then there's no way
21:03
Speaker 1: you have that white of teeth and those perfect of
21:06
Speaker 1: eyebrows unless you are manscaping and bleaching at least once
21:12
Speaker 1: a week. And so he's selfish because he takes up
21:15
Speaker 1: all the all the bathroom space, all the time. Okay,
21:19
Speaker 1: and now you've won me over. I see that exactly.
21:23
Speaker 1: He's a well groomed man. He also reminds me of
21:25
Speaker 1: Dan Cox, justin why from the other twin we have
21:32
Speaker 1: a set of twins, the first set of twins since
21:34
Speaker 1: Haley and Emily, twenty four year old twin brother from Brookfield, Connecticut.
21:41
Speaker 1: Does he TikTok with his brother? I don't think so.
21:45
Speaker 1: This one has the b D energy of the two.
21:48
Speaker 1: He's got a little Pete Davidson vibe going on. He does.
21:52
Speaker 1: You just notice that you you took now announcing the
21:54
Speaker 1: name and profession and first impression from me? Uh huh,
22:00
Speaker 1: I get it. Ash, You're excited about this, this is
22:02
Speaker 1: one of your favorite episodes. You just don't want to
22:04
Speaker 1: admit it to anybody listening. You get excited for the
22:07
Speaker 1: first impressions, and then you act all you know, shy,
22:11
Speaker 1: like who do you know? Hey? Justin Why? Yeah he
22:15
Speaker 1: is more Pete Davidson to him, he is less put together.
22:18
Speaker 1: He does the TikTok videos, but he's the brother that
22:22
Speaker 1: doesn't enjoy it. He doesn't want to be there. He does, Yeah,
22:25
Speaker 1: he does it because they're too good looking twins and
22:28
Speaker 1: he knows he can make some money doing it. And
22:30
Speaker 1: then they get that has to be on the Bachelor,
22:32
Speaker 1: and he's like, this is our big shot, you know.
22:35
Speaker 1: So good for him. I hope he's there for love
22:37
Speaker 1: all right, Oh my goodness, he is the one. He's
22:42
Speaker 1: the twin that's like, yeah, we have to do more
22:45
Speaker 1: twin TikTok's. Yeah, you know, these guys are so used
22:49
Speaker 1: to hitting on girls together and it works well for
22:54
Speaker 1: this season since they're two girls together as well. Well,
22:57
Speaker 1: I don't even think about that. Okay, here's Kurt. He's
23:00
Speaker 1: twenty nine year old college football coach from Lubit, Texas,
23:05
Speaker 1: and he's got a Jason Mesnick vibe. Sweet and sensitive
23:09
Speaker 1: but confident. I get it. Yeah, an old soul who's disciplined,
23:17
Speaker 1: and discipline is gonna play against him during this season
23:21
Speaker 1: because there is no rhythm or routine or discipline to
23:25
Speaker 1: being on the batch story. You really just have to
23:27
Speaker 1: go with the flow, which is gonna stretch Kirk, but
23:31
Speaker 1: it's also not gonna be easy for Kirk. Oh my god, Benji,
23:38
Speaker 1: don't have any more guys we have to go through.
23:40
Speaker 1: You better keep these descriptions coming. Oh my gosh, there's
23:43
Speaker 1: a lot of dudes this season, all right. Up next
23:47
Speaker 1: is Logan. He's a twenty six year old videographer from
23:49
Speaker 1: San Diego, California. I'm sorry, but I have to do
23:53
Speaker 1: another comparison. He looks like Chris Souls in this picture,
23:56
Speaker 1: but like crystals from Andy season, not crystals from a
24:00
Speaker 1: Bachelor season. Totally different. Suave. Yeah, yeah, he needs a makeover.
24:05
Speaker 1: Then what you're saying because crystals ton of potential? Oh
24:10
Speaker 1: I agree. I mean I think that's what we'd use
24:12
Speaker 1: for Logan. A lot of potential, A lot of potential. There.
24:15
Speaker 1: Hey Mario, thirty one year old personal trainer from Naperville, Illinois. Uh,
24:22
Speaker 1: just super friendly, smiley guy, a friend of all um.
24:25
Speaker 1: But then again, at the same time, I say that
24:28
Speaker 1: could be an enemytual. He also has that little thing
24:32
Speaker 1: in his eye that says like I'd like to come
24:34
Speaker 1: across as your bro, but really I like to store drama. Yeah,
24:39
Speaker 1: I'm getting more of like this guy has muscles and
24:42
Speaker 1: places that I've never seen muscles happen before. Yeah, I
24:46
Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like he's skinny based on the
24:49
Speaker 1: facial picture. Some more like athletic Bill. I could see it.
24:53
Speaker 1: I could see. Well, he's a personal trainer. He's got
24:56
Speaker 1: a good smile. The first impression, if I have known
24:59
Speaker 1: nothing else, is he's going to be similar to a
25:01
Speaker 1: lot of the guys on the season that we really like.
25:04
Speaker 1: That makes it a long ways. I think from his
25:07
Speaker 1: smile when I give him the benefit of the down
25:09
Speaker 1: and say he's a nice man. Um. I don't know
25:12
Speaker 1: if he ends up with her at the end, with
25:15
Speaker 1: them one of I don't know how this is even
25:17
Speaker 1: working at this point with one of them at the end.
25:19
Speaker 1: But he's around for a while. He's around for a while,
25:21
Speaker 1: including this guy Matt. He's twenty five years old. He's
25:24
Speaker 1: a shipping executive from San Diego, California. I get great
25:28
Speaker 1: vibes from Matt. Yeah, I do too, Matt. Just I
25:33
Speaker 1: look at Matt's picture, I do wonder what he's doing
25:37
Speaker 1: with his facial hair underneath his bottom lip, Like is
25:40
Speaker 1: it just non existing? There's yeah, and it looks like
25:45
Speaker 1: he's shaved it. Yeah, it looks like he shaved it,
25:48
Speaker 1: which makes his like mouth look bigger. You know what
25:51
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, yes, yeah, so I don't I've never
25:56
Speaker 1: seen that before. I've never seen and it happened. Like
26:00
Speaker 1: that's an interesting tactic um one that might go far.
26:06
Speaker 1: I hope it's not going on during the season because
26:08
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that people at first are gonna
26:09
Speaker 1: be like, oh, Man's a really good looking guy. Then
26:11
Speaker 1: they're gonna close to be like sums up, and then like,
26:13
Speaker 1: oh yeah, he has no hair from his bottom lip
26:17
Speaker 1: to his chin. Um. I don't know who knows. Hey.
26:21
Speaker 1: Michael is a thirty two year old pharmaceutical salesman from
26:24
Speaker 1: Long Beach, California. I can't figure him out. I feel
26:29
Speaker 1: like he might be a night winner. I think Michael
26:31
Speaker 1: is a strong neck because whatever it is he's wearing
26:33
Speaker 1: around his neck that piece of joy leg looks heavy
26:37
Speaker 1: and so at least he has a strong neck to
26:40
Speaker 1: support the rest of his body. I got nothing else
26:43
Speaker 1: to say about him, so we'll move on. To Nate,
26:46
Speaker 1: a thirty three year old electrical engineer from Chicago. I
26:51
Speaker 1: like Nate. He's cool, he's um, he's funny, and he's
26:57
Speaker 1: easy to talk to. He is easy to talk to you.
27:02
Speaker 1: He's a sweet man. You say, it's so definitively and
27:06
Speaker 1: I love that. Yeah, No, I mean it. He's easy
27:09
Speaker 1: to talk to. He looks good in a suit, so
27:12
Speaker 1: he's gonna make a great first impression on the ladies.
27:16
Speaker 1: I feel like Nate uh is also just gonna be
27:20
Speaker 1: one of those guys that people in the house enjoy
27:22
Speaker 1: being around. Uh huh. Concur Quincy, we've switched again. Are
27:30
Speaker 1: we keeping a rhythm or not? Are you doing first impressions?
27:33
Speaker 1: And I think we should just I don't know, I
27:35
Speaker 1: think we should. I'm switching back. I'm doing the reading now.
27:37
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna follow your lead here. Okay. You do,
27:40
Speaker 1: you do you you feel, you feel it and you
27:43
Speaker 1: go with it, and I'm just I'm just gonna ride along, okay, Okay.
27:46
Speaker 1: Cool so. Quincy is a twenty five year old life
27:49
Speaker 1: coach from Miami. Well. Quincy is a life coach because
27:55
Speaker 1: he has a great story to tell. There's something in
27:58
Speaker 1: his life that has happened. We're all going to be
28:00
Speaker 1: on the edge of our seat listening to and we're
28:02
Speaker 1: gonna go. There's a reason why Quincy wants the most
28:05
Speaker 1: out of life, not only for himself but the people
28:07
Speaker 1: around him. He is an encourager, He is a supporter,
28:10
Speaker 1: He is a motivator. He is somebody who makes others
28:14
Speaker 1: better and as a result, Quincy shines on the Bachelorette.
28:18
Speaker 1: Do you know what you're going to do really well?
28:20
Speaker 1: When you're a parent. You're gonna be that parent who
28:23
Speaker 1: like opens a book and they don't know how to
28:26
Speaker 1: read yet, and you just make up what every page says,
28:30
Speaker 1: and you make the most elaborate story. I can't wait.
28:33
Speaker 1: My my seventh grade principle said I was a B
28:36
Speaker 1: S rum, which I think makes sense considering where my
28:40
Speaker 1: career path has gone. You got away with words. You
28:47
Speaker 1: can Yeah, you can fluff up something you know for
28:50
Speaker 1: a long time. Um, this is just the most fantastic
28:55
Speaker 1: thing I've ever read. Underneath this photo of a man
28:58
Speaker 1: who looks like Jack Black, Robbie is a thirty three
29:02
Speaker 1: year old magician from l A. I will say that
29:05
Speaker 1: he will become the audio engineers and the producer's favorites,
29:10
Speaker 1: because I do know a lot of those people, and
29:12
Speaker 1: I do know a lot of them love magic, and
29:15
Speaker 1: I know they love that castle in l A. That's
29:19
Speaker 1: like the magic the magic Castle. And so Robbie, he's
29:23
Speaker 1: gonna be there a few weeks strictly because the audio
29:26
Speaker 1: engineers and the producers are going to say to these,
29:30
Speaker 1: to the Bachelrettes, you just got to keep him around
29:32
Speaker 1: because we have to know how he cuts somebody in half.
29:36
Speaker 1: I mean, how many tricks is he going to do
29:38
Speaker 1: to try to woo these ladies? So many tricks. It'll
29:42
Speaker 1: be fun for us to watch. It may not be
29:44
Speaker 1: fun for them, but I don't know his magic ever
29:48
Speaker 1: not fun. I guess that if a guy is trying
29:50
Speaker 1: to do a trick to make you kiss him, it's
29:52
Speaker 1: probably not fun. But we'll see. This is more creepy.
29:54
Speaker 1: But yes, I see what you're saying. Ryan is a
29:58
Speaker 1: thirty six year old investment director from Boston, and I gotta,
30:02
Speaker 1: I gotta put my two cents into here. He is
30:04
Speaker 1: like Clayton two point Oh, he's like Clayton in uh,
30:09
Speaker 1: I guess eight years he's Clayton, but way more like
30:14
Speaker 1: um not the word comes to mind, and I don't
30:19
Speaker 1: mean it this way like aggressive in a bad way,
30:21
Speaker 1: just like very intentional. That's a better way. Um and
30:25
Speaker 1: intentional and almost say hey, man, like you don't need
30:29
Speaker 1: to speak so confident confidently to me all the time.
30:33
Speaker 1: And you also don't have to speak down to me
30:35
Speaker 1: all the time. And I think I think Ryan has
30:39
Speaker 1: the ability to not know it, but to speak down
30:43
Speaker 1: to the people around him. Spencer the twenty seven year
30:47
Speaker 1: old venture capitalist from Chicago. Um, he is a Oh
30:54
Speaker 1: I have done anything to say because I got nothing
30:56
Speaker 1: to say, so I wouna. Let you tell tell a
30:57
Speaker 1: story here. Oh, well, Spencer's your dreamer. I mean he
31:00
Speaker 1: is one of those guys. Oh that's hilarious. Okay. Why
31:07
Speaker 1: why is he a dreamer? Well, he's a dreamer because
31:11
Speaker 1: his whole life he's always seen the bright spots. He's
31:14
Speaker 1: always seen the hope filled spots. He's always believed in
31:17
Speaker 1: the greater story, which is why he's a venture capitalist.
31:20
Speaker 1: He wants to invest into these new companies he startups
31:23
Speaker 1: and help be a part of a greater story. So
31:25
Speaker 1: when he talks about his job, he doesn't say he's
31:27
Speaker 1: a venture capitalist. Why would he say he's a venture capitalist.
31:29
Speaker 1: They're gonna be That can mean anything. He is a
31:32
Speaker 1: story creator, that's what he calls himself. And when somebody
31:36
Speaker 1: says what does that mean, he goes I like to
31:37
Speaker 1: invest into the stories of others to see them succeed.
31:40
Speaker 1: That Spencer, does he mean it? I don't know. I
31:42
Speaker 1: think he just wants to make money, but he says it. Termaine,
31:46
Speaker 1: twenty eight year old crypto guy from Naperville, Illinois. I
31:52
Speaker 1: gotta say something about him. He's full of himself. He's
31:54
Speaker 1: so full of himself. I'm afraid that he might come
31:57
Speaker 1: off like that guy on Michelle season who was just
32:00
Speaker 1: iy ikey. Remember that guy that was a limited really
32:03
Speaker 1: early on for like a good date. Yeah, he sketch.
32:08
Speaker 1: I want to know what a crypto guy means. Here's
32:10
Speaker 1: the deal. Crypto has taken a massive fall during his
32:13
Speaker 1: season of the Bachelor. So as he has no phone
32:16
Speaker 1: or computer, and he probably has his life savings invested
32:19
Speaker 1: in the crypto, he has no clue that his life
32:21
Speaker 1: savings have quickly dwindled to nothing. I mean, in fact
32:25
Speaker 1: being cut in half, possibly depending on what his cost
32:28
Speaker 1: basis is. It's completely gone away. So Tremaine comes into
32:32
Speaker 1: the season as this visionary, as as this creator, as
32:37
Speaker 1: this artist, as this guy that talks about he's investing
32:40
Speaker 1: into the future. He leaves the Bachelor, opens up his
32:43
Speaker 1: you know, coin base app, and goes, oh, crap, I
32:45
Speaker 1: have nothing. You think that he's itching to get his
32:50
Speaker 1: phone in his computer the entire time, and like every day,
32:53
Speaker 1: there's an anxiety about it. Well, I mean, for a
32:56
Speaker 1: long time in the crypto world, you made money on
32:58
Speaker 1: a long term investor. So if you invested early, you're
33:01
Speaker 1: making a lot of money over the long term. Well,
33:03
Speaker 1: in the last five months, you really only made money
33:06
Speaker 1: being a day trader of crypto because crypto is so
33:09
Speaker 1: volatile and so up and down, and so if he
33:11
Speaker 1: had to step away from that world for I don't
33:15
Speaker 1: know how long he was there, let's say a month. Uh,
33:18
Speaker 1: he lost out on a lot. A lot of people did.
33:20
Speaker 1: I'm one of them. Hey, no, shame Toremaine in your game,
33:24
Speaker 1: But we all have been hurting because of crypto. I
33:28
Speaker 1: just got to watch it happen, and you were oblivious
33:30
Speaker 1: to it because you were filming, And so I got
33:33
Speaker 1: the enjoyment of every day waking up mean son of
33:36
Speaker 1: a gun. This hurts and Tremaine just like was you know,
33:39
Speaker 1: on a beach or cruise ship or wherever he was
33:42
Speaker 1: doing random stuff with the bachelorettes. So ignorance is bliss
33:46
Speaker 1: in this case, possibly possibly until a big shock when
33:52
Speaker 1: he opened his computer. Okay, Tino is a twenty eight
33:57
Speaker 1: year old general contractor from i adel Rey, California. Like
34:03
Speaker 1: like we have seen in the past couple of seasons,
34:06
Speaker 1: lots of l A locals. And do you know what
34:09
Speaker 1: I found out recently? The casting producers take to dating
34:15
Speaker 1: apps sometimes to find these guys, which is crazy to me.
34:21
Speaker 1: They have not they have that few good applications from guys.
34:26
Speaker 1: You think that they'd have stacks and stacks and then
34:28
Speaker 1: they find some diamonds in the rough. But the fact
34:31
Speaker 1: that they have to go out of their way and
34:32
Speaker 1: get on dating apps, it's crazy. Tina's throwing me Tyler
34:36
Speaker 1: Cameron vibes. Really. Oh, I'm just saying it. Watch out
34:44
Speaker 1: for him. Well, speaking of Tyler's, we've got Tyler a
34:48
Speaker 1: year old small business owner from Wildwood, New Jersey. He's
34:52
Speaker 1: giving me Michael a vibes. Interesting. Yeah, he's he's a
34:57
Speaker 1: sweet boy, sweet boy. He's a sweet boy. He cares,
35:03
Speaker 1: he cares. He's not around a long time, but he's
35:05
Speaker 1: a sweet boy, sweetboy. Al right. Next up, we have
35:09
Speaker 1: Zach at twenty. Lastly, Zach a twenty five year old
35:12
Speaker 1: tech executive from Anaheim Hills, California. He looks like he's
35:16
Speaker 1: been on the show before, does he not? Like? Have
35:19
Speaker 1: you not seen this profile picture before? Chad Johnson? Chad
35:23
Speaker 1: Johnson right there? I mean that is that is a
35:26
Speaker 1: Chad Johnson. Zach is the villain. He's the first person
35:28
Speaker 1: on this whole time. I've said, I am confident that
35:32
Speaker 1: Zach is a villain this season. I don't know why.
35:36
Speaker 1: I think it's because of the Chad kind of look alike. Uh.
35:40
Speaker 1: But yeah, Zach comes in. He's very hot. He didn't
35:44
Speaker 1: even quit his job to come on the show. He
35:46
Speaker 1: took a week's worth of vacation knowing that he was
35:49
Speaker 1: going to find a way to get in and get
35:51
Speaker 1: out and make a name for himself. And I think
35:53
Speaker 1: he did it by being the villain. Okay, okay, okay,
35:58
Speaker 1: now I'm telling you this right now. Actually, for all
36:00
Speaker 1: the listeners out there, this this last segment would not
36:04
Speaker 1: be fun unless you walk through each of these guys
36:07
Speaker 1: with us. Give us your opinions. You don't know anything
36:09
Speaker 1: about them. You're seeing a picture, So pull up their pictures.
36:12
Speaker 1: It's been released. Go through them, give us your first impression,
36:17
Speaker 1: send it into us. What do you think? What do
36:19
Speaker 1: you what are you feeling? We could be wrong, In fact,
36:21
Speaker 1: we're mostly wrong on all of them, but at least
36:23
Speaker 1: now you know their names, their occupation, and where they're from.
36:26
Speaker 1: And so go do your homework, do your research, look
36:30
Speaker 1: at the pictures, pick your favorites, because hey, within the
36:33
Speaker 1: next week, you're gonna have your bachelorette fantasy drafts. We

Speaker 1: all know you're doing it, and you need to be
36:41
Speaker 1: well prepared. And so if you need Ashley's first impression
36:44
Speaker 1: on these men for that fantasy draft, we're giving it
36:47
Speaker 1: free and willingly right here on the Almost Famous Podcast. Ashley,
36:50
Speaker 1: we need to take a break. When we come back,
36:52
Speaker 1: we have a lot of headlines this week. Um, some
36:55
Speaker 1: that are not fun to talk about, some that are shocking. Uh,
36:59
Speaker 1: but hey, it's our job, so let's share our opinions
37:02
Speaker 1: right here on the Almost Face Podcast. It is time
37:15
Speaker 1: for bachelor headlines with our resident expert, Ashley I Kennetti Ashley.
37:20
Speaker 1: The first one here is a big one. It's a
37:23
Speaker 1: really big one. Uh, and it's shocking to me. Honestly,
37:27
Speaker 1: I did not expect this or see this coming. But
37:30
Speaker 1: the bachelorettes Michelle Young and Nate break up after six months. Well,
37:36
Speaker 1: I guess after the finale eleard six months ago. This
37:41
Speaker 1: according nine months Yeah, this according to e A Rose
37:46
Speaker 1: has wilted. They say, Um, this was Michelle's statement on
37:51
Speaker 1: our Instagram. I'm struggling to say that Nate and I
37:53
Speaker 1: will be going our separate ways, but I stand with
37:56
Speaker 1: him and knowing the heaviness that is present in both
37:59
Speaker 1: of our hearts as this relationship has been very real
38:02
Speaker 1: for us. Um. She said to you, Nate, you clearly
38:06
Speaker 1: became my best friend and the love I have for
38:09
Speaker 1: you is incredibly strong. I will never stop wanting to
38:13
Speaker 1: see you succeed. Um. She talks about how difficult the
38:18
Speaker 1: relationship in the public I was, and then Nate echoed
38:23
Speaker 1: her sentiment by saying, we both started this journey we
38:28
Speaker 1: were looking for our soulmates are forever our best friends. However,
38:31
Speaker 1: as we grow and learn, we realize that sometimes somebody
38:35
Speaker 1: that you hold dear in your heart isn't someone that
38:37
Speaker 1: you're meant to spend the rest of your life with um,
38:42
Speaker 1: so you want to speculate a little bit. I mean,
38:44
Speaker 1: I hate doing like you know. It makes me feel
38:46
Speaker 1: bad because like we've met these people in real life.
38:48
Speaker 1: They've always been so kind to us. And then it's
38:50
Speaker 1: like you want to like dish, do you want to Well,
38:56
Speaker 1: here's what I know. A few weeks ago, I think
38:59
Speaker 1: it was probably two weeks ago, there were rumors swirling
39:02
Speaker 1: about the two of them not being together, and they
39:04
Speaker 1: both came out publicly and said, Hey, even though we
39:06
Speaker 1: aren't together our time doesn't mean that we've broken up.
39:09
Speaker 1: Remember our headline where she was seen out without her
39:13
Speaker 1: ring and that was within the past month. And then
39:16
Speaker 1: she got to Instagram and she said, I never liked
39:19
Speaker 1: to address things like this, but like I was, I
39:21
Speaker 1: gave my ring across the table for a friend to
39:24
Speaker 1: put on. So now we have to kind of think
39:28
Speaker 1: was that for real or was that as an excuse
39:31
Speaker 1: making was she not ready to be public about it?
39:34
Speaker 1: But then Ben, there are other things. They were both
39:38
Speaker 1: spotted at Wango Tango together. After that, they were spotted
39:42
Speaker 1: and matching outfits at Wango Tango, and that was two
39:46
Speaker 1: weeks ago. To be specific, it was sixteen days ago.
39:50
Speaker 1: You were there, right, yeah, I was there. Now. We
39:54
Speaker 1: did want them on the podcast. They were on the
39:57
Speaker 1: rundown to be on that Whango Tango podcast, but they
40:02
Speaker 1: left before their slot to come and sit down with me. Now,
40:08
Speaker 1: was that intentional or not? I'm not sure. They weren't
40:11
Speaker 1: the only one, like, okay, so they're rep like their
40:15
Speaker 1: pr um rep. She wrapped a couple of the bachelor
40:20
Speaker 1: people that were there that day, and all of them
40:22
Speaker 1: were kind of leaving Waingo Tango at the same time.
40:25
Speaker 1: I think that they had another event or dinner scheduled,
40:30
Speaker 1: so they were like all getting out of there. So
40:31
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say that they intentionally didn't come
40:34
Speaker 1: on the podcast because they were on the rocks. From
40:37
Speaker 1: what I saw, I went go tango and it was
40:39
Speaker 1: very brief. The times that I saw them. I saw
40:42
Speaker 1: them like out in the parking lot, they seemed in
40:45
Speaker 1: good spirits. I saw them at the bar, they also
40:48
Speaker 1: seemed a good spirits. I was like, you guys were
40:50
Speaker 1: the most studding couple I've ever seen in my life, Like,
40:52
Speaker 1: holy crap um. And that was basically it Also, I'll
41:00
Speaker 1: give credit to the reddit boards. I went on the
41:02
Speaker 1: reddit boards and read about this stuff, and they wonder
41:06
Speaker 1: whether or not they were together during Wango Tango, whether
41:10
Speaker 1: they had been broken up at that point, and then
41:12
Speaker 1: they just like stuck it through because it was the
41:14
Speaker 1: weekend of events and they didn't want to cancel. There's
41:17
Speaker 1: also an interview from the Red Carpet of Wango Tango
41:22
Speaker 1: in which Nate I watched it, and it's awkward because
41:25
Speaker 1: Nate is totally checked out and Michelle is talking about
41:29
Speaker 1: their future and she's the only one for like four
41:32
Speaker 1: and a half minutes just talking about their their upcoming
41:35
Speaker 1: plans together as a couple. Uh. So people wonder whether
41:39
Speaker 1: they were like she was just trying to put on
41:41
Speaker 1: good face and he couldn't like lie. Uh And then finally,
41:47
Speaker 1: as far as rumors go, and like you know, message
41:51
Speaker 1: board chatter, there was somebody said that the week of
41:59
Speaker 1: the Texas shooting, which was like, I guess four weeks
42:04
Speaker 1: ago now, Um, Michelle was in the teacher's lounge crying
42:09
Speaker 1: about their breakup and the shooting was understandably making her
42:13
Speaker 1: even more emotional that week. I don't know how somebody
42:17
Speaker 1: would know that. I guess that would be like somebody
42:21
Speaker 1: at the school saw this soon after it was announced
42:26
Speaker 1: that she was no longer going back to teaching, but
42:28
Speaker 1: she did finish out this year. Sounds like no matter what, Michelle,
42:34
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know a lot about Nate right now,
42:36
Speaker 1: but it sounds like Michelle has a lot going on,
42:39
Speaker 1: right I mean, as a teacher, obviously you have a
42:42
Speaker 1: lot to process and a lot to hold emotionally. And
42:47
Speaker 1: then she does leave that profession, which is a big
42:51
Speaker 1: decision considering how long she's done it and how passionate
42:54
Speaker 1: she is about it. Uh, she has a breakup. She
42:59
Speaker 1: sounds she's a lot going on. Uh, it is a
43:02
Speaker 1: sad breakup because I really thought with their story and
43:07
Speaker 1: kind of the men at the end of her season
43:09
Speaker 1: that they were for real. Um. I also thought it
43:15
Speaker 1: was for real because I mean, geez, the Bachelor gave
43:17
Speaker 1: him a lot of money to go buy a house,
43:19
Speaker 1: so I thought, Hey, everyone wants to know what's happening
43:23
Speaker 1: to the money. Did they buy a house? I'm assuming
43:28
Speaker 1: they didn't buy a house, because I think there we
43:30
Speaker 1: would have had a headline saying Michelle and Nate use
43:33
Speaker 1: money given by the bachelor to buy a house and like,
43:37
Speaker 1: then they'll end up showing the real estate because that's
43:39
Speaker 1: what they do. Like in the media world, we never
43:44
Speaker 1: saw that, so you know, mostly people are like they
43:49
Speaker 1: have to give back the ring if they've only been
43:50
Speaker 1: to if they've been together less than two years. Uh,
43:53
Speaker 1: this is way more money than the ring. Yeah. If
43:57
Speaker 1: I was them, I would have gone buy a house
43:58
Speaker 1: right away and said, hey, no matter what happens, we
44:01
Speaker 1: split this, right baby, They say, yes, Um, okay, Well.
44:05
Speaker 1: Moving on to happier news Bachelor Nations, Tia Booth is pregnant.
44:11
Speaker 1: She's expecting first child with fiance Taylor mock Is. According
44:15
Speaker 1: to e she is so happy for them. He is
44:19
Speaker 1: going to be a great mom. She's I can't wait
44:21
Speaker 1: to see the mom realness from her too. She says.
44:25
Speaker 1: Um this has of course been like the most challenging
44:27
Speaker 1: follower's day thus far because she lost her dad a
44:30
Speaker 1: couple of months ago. She goes, I've never felt such
44:34
Speaker 1: overwhelming sadness and pure joy at the same time. It's
44:38
Speaker 1: been difficult to be grateful for the good as if
44:41
Speaker 1: one of the most important people in my life is missing.
44:44
Speaker 1: As one of the most poor people in my life
44:45
Speaker 1: is missing the celebration. I wish I could tell my
44:48
Speaker 1: dad the good news in person. It brings me peace
44:51
Speaker 1: that he knows about it long before I do. Um.
44:55
Speaker 1: Welcoming a new little life while mourning the loss of
44:57
Speaker 1: another proofs that that high emotions can exist simultaneously. I
45:03
Speaker 1: have no doubt that my dad had a hand in this.
45:05
Speaker 1: That is so so sweet, so many feelings just reading
45:10
Speaker 1: those words. Um, I'm really happy again for them, and
45:15
Speaker 1: I think that she is fully through her first trimester. Well,
45:23
Speaker 1: she also had some drama when it came to posting
45:25
Speaker 1: about this right she posted in well why did Instagram
45:30
Speaker 1: take it down? All I saw like once I saw
45:33
Speaker 1: on her story a picture with like the hand on
45:37
Speaker 1: the belly and all that, I was like, oh my gosh,
45:38
Speaker 1: she's this is a pregnancy announcement. And then she said
45:41
Speaker 1: something along the lines of like to go go check
45:44
Speaker 1: out my post. And then she realized minutes later that
45:47
Speaker 1: the post was taken down. Why would Instagram ever take
45:50
Speaker 1: that down? That's so strange, it's odd. I'm sure it
45:54
Speaker 1: was just a mess up. Glitch glitch. Not a good
45:58
Speaker 1: glitch though. The worst glitch you look forward to your
46:01
Speaker 1: pregnancy announcement plant and then it goes south like that.
46:07
Speaker 1: It's tough. It's tough. Oh well, it doesn't matter. Everybody
46:10
Speaker 1: loved the announcement once they got to see it. Oh,
46:13
Speaker 1: I know they did. I know they did. Hey, we're
46:16
Speaker 1: gonna share a little bit about what we know about
46:18
Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise here and just a bit um. But
46:23
Speaker 1: before we do, we have a couple of headlines from
46:26
Speaker 1: some past contestants on The Bachelor. At Brian, who was
46:31
Speaker 1: married to Rachel from Rachel Lindsay season of The Bachelor,
46:36
Speaker 1: share secret to successful marriage with Rachel Lindsay. Also, they
46:40
Speaker 1: talked about their plan for kids. This according to US Weekly,
46:45
Speaker 1: Brian says, I feel like it's been a long time,
46:49
Speaker 1: but what we really think about it. Time has gone by,
46:51
Speaker 1: has flown by since meeting Rachel. He said that, Um,
46:59
Speaker 1: we just got a new how else we have our dogs,
47:01
Speaker 1: kids are in the future as well. We just got
47:03
Speaker 1: a lot of things going on. Our careers are flourishing.
47:05
Speaker 1: We're both in a good place. Um. And as far
47:10
Speaker 1: as making their relationship a priority, he says, we can't
47:13
Speaker 1: lose sight of why we came together In the first place,
47:16
Speaker 1: and that was love right. So we have planned dates,
47:19
Speaker 1: even if it's just the most basic thing. Um, as
47:22
Speaker 1: long as we're spending quality time together, that's what matters.
47:25
Speaker 1: The pastor who performed their wedding did premarital counseling with
47:29
Speaker 1: them and said that it was important for you to
47:32
Speaker 1: continue to date and pursue your partner and to set
47:35
Speaker 1: aside time to have those quality intimate moments with each
47:39
Speaker 1: other where you can grow as a couple. Next headline
47:43
Speaker 1: is Mike Johnson is hoping for a love triangle with
47:46
Speaker 1: Gabby and Rachel on The Bachelorette. This according to US Weekly. Okay,
47:50
Speaker 1: so this is what Mike said. It's pretty simple. He goes,
47:53
Speaker 1: I would really love to see a love triangle between
47:56
Speaker 1: one of the contestants and then two bachelor at leads
48:00
Speaker 1: slightly a controversial statement since I think a lot of
48:02
Speaker 1: people are already weary about the girls being pitted against
48:06
Speaker 1: each other, even though it seems like production keeps saying
48:08
Speaker 1: that like they've done everything they could to to prevent that.
48:13
Speaker 1: So he said this on Talking Out his podcast with
48:15
Speaker 1: Brian absloh and he says, Then Brian responded by saying,
48:20
Speaker 1: they seem like best friends. They're obviously relying on each
48:22
Speaker 1: other and leaning on each other throughout this entire journey.
48:25
Speaker 1: But I got a figure there's gonna be one guy
48:28
Speaker 1: that's gonna walk in that's gonna knock their socks off,
48:31
Speaker 1: and there may be going to both veer towards him,
48:36
Speaker 1: and I have to agree. I mean, I'm not like
48:39
Speaker 1: rooting for a love triangle because I do want them
48:43
Speaker 1: to be as little conflict between the girls as possible,
48:45
Speaker 1: But there's gonna be there's gonna be a guy that
48:49
Speaker 1: they both want. I just don't know how it doesn't
48:52
Speaker 1: happen crazy unnatural. Yeah, I just don't know how it
48:55
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, Like I don't. I still have confused on
48:59
Speaker 1: the format it has to. I guess the question is
49:02
Speaker 1: how as Rachel and Gabby handle And it sounds like
49:04
Speaker 1: they handle it really well. Um Jason or Jason Tartick
49:09
Speaker 1: brought up a good point and he's like, hey, they
49:11
Speaker 1: can make it through this season being Bachelorette. It's gonna
49:14
Speaker 1: be the post show airing where things could get hard
49:17
Speaker 1: because you see maybe one of the bachelorette's doing better
49:20
Speaker 1: than the other on social media. Or the fans reaction
49:22
Speaker 1: is better. So there's just I feel like, right now
49:25
Speaker 1: they're handling it really well. Um so it makes me
49:29
Speaker 1: think even if there's a love triangle, they talk it
49:31
Speaker 1: out and they have good communication. Well yeah, speaking of
49:35
Speaker 1: good communication, Bachelor Nations, Zach Clark is fiercely defending ex
49:41
Speaker 1: Tasia Adams from haters. This according to e I loved this.
49:46
Speaker 1: When I saw this, I think I came across before
49:50
Speaker 1: there were even articles written about it. So somebody wrote
49:56
Speaker 1: under tastious picture saying like why do you constantly post
50:01
Speaker 1: selfies and boobs and bikinis? And then Zach couldn't help
50:07
Speaker 1: himself and he went and he stood up for his acts,
50:10
Speaker 1: which is I think it's awesome. He says, congrats you
50:13
Speaker 1: got me. My first and hopefully last clap back. He
50:16
Speaker 1: wrote in the comments section directed at her, says enough
50:20
Speaker 1: is enough. One of the problems with social media is
50:22
Speaker 1: it gives people like you a voice and unwarranted power.
50:27
Speaker 1: The truth is, we see this, I see this. It's
50:30
Speaker 1: hard to avoid and it's just not nice, especially when
50:34
Speaker 1: you have no idea what you're talking about. Slash, you
50:40
Speaker 1: just making up, so you're just mad he's just angry. Yeah, yeah,
50:45
Speaker 1: well makes sense. He's protecting Tasia, which is a big deal.
50:49
Speaker 1: That's great of him. Maybe it doesn't isn't necessarily his
50:55
Speaker 1: role or his responsibile anymore. But it's nice that he's
50:57
Speaker 1: doing it. I think so. He also elaborates. He says
51:00
Speaker 1: even more. He says, I struggle to see why you
51:03
Speaker 1: would be mean for no reason. Being kind is so
51:06
Speaker 1: much easier, I promise, So at Tasha, the noise, keep
51:11
Speaker 1: doing your thing, wear the clothes you want to wear,
51:15
Speaker 1: take the videos you want to take, and keep shining.
51:18
Speaker 1: I know you, and I know you're a really good person.
51:21
Speaker 1: M m, well, uh, it's nice that Zach is defending Tassia,
51:27
Speaker 1: and it is. I mean, if I was to read
51:29
Speaker 1: through the lines, it's like, oh, he's defending Tassia because
51:31
Speaker 1: they ended on decent terms. It sounds like um, and
51:35
Speaker 1: then he wants the truth to be out there. A
51:37
Speaker 1: couple more headlines for you, Jojoe Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers.
51:40
Speaker 1: TBS show canceled weeks before premiere. This according to page six,
51:47
Speaker 1: this sucks. Okay, So last summer they filmed this show
51:51
Speaker 1: called The Big d and before it even premiere. The
51:56
Speaker 1: network announced on Friday that to ensure we have the
52:01
Speaker 1: right content mixed to support our network strategies, we're canceling it.
52:06
Speaker 1: We're grateful to Jojo and Jordans and the executive producers
52:10
Speaker 1: for their partnership through the process. Was a ten episode
52:14
Speaker 1: dating series which I saw commercials for UM. Your there
52:18
Speaker 1: following ten divorce couples who move into a tropical villa
52:22
Speaker 1: in Costa Rica together and they relearned how to date
52:26
Speaker 1: and look for love with other contestants surrounded by your
52:30
Speaker 1: like b X. It sounds like a great concept, a
52:34
Speaker 1: really great concept, UM. But the cancelation comes after Warner
52:38
Speaker 1: Media emerged with Discovery in April two and acting the
52:44
Speaker 1: Big d UM was in a string of other cancelations
52:48
Speaker 1: after the network announced that it would be cutting three
52:51
Speaker 1: billion in costs over the next three years. How frustrating
52:56
Speaker 1: that must be to be excited about being the host
53:00
Speaker 1: of a show going down and experiencing the filming of
53:03
Speaker 1: the show and then it getting canceled before it airs. Well,
53:09
Speaker 1: here's my question. I don't know the entertainment world well enough.
53:12
Speaker 1: Somebody out there can explain to me. But if it's
53:13
Speaker 1: already filmed and your hosts are already paid and you
53:17
Speaker 1: have all the content, why do you cancel it before
53:20
Speaker 1: you air it? I mean it's just think of read
53:24
Speaker 1: something about the fact that, like they'd have to pay
53:27
Speaker 1: for the advertisements that ran during it, and like that's
53:30
Speaker 1: what they don't want to put the money on the
53:32
Speaker 1: show that they think they can replace with another show
53:37
Speaker 1: that would do possibly better or in their opinion, is
53:40
Speaker 1: like more on brand for them. Now okay, well, hey
53:43
Speaker 1: that is too bad. That is frustrating. So we have
53:46
Speaker 1: two more headlines. One is bigger than the other. We
53:49
Speaker 1: started with an announcement of a breakup, and we're an end.
53:53
Speaker 1: Really our headlines with an announcement of a breakup. Bachelorrette
53:58
Speaker 1: star Katie Thurston and John Hersey break up. The decision
54:03
Speaker 1: was not made lightly this according to People, So the
54:06
Speaker 1: breakup was confirmed this morning when John took to Instagram
54:11
Speaker 1: and said, as Katie stayed earlier, we are no longer dating.
54:15
Speaker 1: The decision was not made lightly and it was obviously
54:17
Speaker 1: not an easy one to make. I love being able
54:20
Speaker 1: to share special moments with all of you, the funny ones,
54:22
Speaker 1: the happy ones, the outrageous, embarrassing and heartfelt ones. But
54:25
Speaker 1: I don't know if I will ever get it, will
54:27
Speaker 1: ever get easier to share sad ones. I appreciate every
54:30
Speaker 1: one of you that has supported us through this journey.
54:33
Speaker 1: We could not and would not be here without you. So,
54:36
Speaker 1: you know, quite a week for bachelor breakups. That's really sad,
54:42
Speaker 1: really sucky. I thought their story was cool. You know
54:46
Speaker 1: how she ended up dating long, long ish term six
54:50
Speaker 1: months a guy that she eliminated week three of her season.
54:55
Speaker 1: Oh but you know alas another breakup. Yeah, I mean
54:59
Speaker 1: it was an other breakup. Here's the thing. They were
55:02
Speaker 1: just dating. I know, they're having like talks about the future.
55:06
Speaker 1: This wasn't a couple that came off of the show
55:08
Speaker 1: like engaged, and they were thinking that they were going
55:10
Speaker 1: to make it forever. They were in the figure it
55:13
Speaker 1: out stage. People break up from the figure it out
