  Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: We're back to another week of the Almost Miss podcast
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: and yes, we will be breaking down episode two of
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: the Bachelor.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: It's a crazy season. But first we have headlines.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: The big week for headlines, a lot going on in
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Bachelor nations, some things that we've been wondering about, excited
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: about for a while, and well they've been proven true.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: But let's start with this one. Yes, the Bachelor Joey's
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: biggest red flag revealed as he begins dating thirty two women.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: Well, misleading headline because Joey said that he's not really
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: a big red flags guy because he believes that there's
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: so many different people in this world. However, he will
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: say that a turn off for him is someone who's
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: self obsessed. He said that he can try to understand
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: that if he can try to understand if someone only
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: seems to be thinking about themselves, but when it comes
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: to the point when it just seems like they're not
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: even going to put anyone above themselves at any moment,
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: that's when it gets tough. He thinks that everyone should
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: be a little more selfish, but if you're a little
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: bit too self centered that that is. I guess he
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: does his red fly.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good for him, makes sense. Watch out for that bacheloration.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Susie Evans and Justin Glaze reveal their dating and here's
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: how their journey began.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: That's what the headline says.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Not a shock to us, Ashley, but definitely something we
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: were on the edge of our seats and waiting for
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: it to finally be announced.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, we're so excited, are you? I mean no, because
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: I really thought they were just friends. We had them
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: on the podcast. Well, I interviewed them November thirtieth, and
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: I thought it was a really you weren't part of
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: the interview. You were downstairs at the Bachelor mansion doing
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: another interview. But I grilled them.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: But remember then afterwards we talked about and we said,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: there's no way they're just friends.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, because they went to Art Basil together in Miami,
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: and then they went to the Ravens game. They went,
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: she went to Baltimore with him over I think she
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: was there on New Year's Eve. So I thought that
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: was a huge Like, what now this is just getting
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: out of hand. You guys are traveling across the country together.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: There is no way two people.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: That are both single, both attractive at their age, hang
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: out as much as they do, and don't like have
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: some type of interest. I just don't see it. I've
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: never seen it in my life. It might exist, Please
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: tell me if it does. I just have never seen it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: But actually this headline goes into their like kind of
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: journey and how they met. I think it's very interesting.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Can you tell everybody about it?
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Well, I can tell everyone that when we had Justin
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: and Andrew come, I think it was last December to Audrey's,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: Justin told Jared and I that he was thinking about
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: doing like an apartment situation where I think it would
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: have been Andrew or another guy from a Bachelor, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: then there would have been a third roommate, and that
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: third roommate they were thinking of it being Susie and
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Jared and I were like, okay, but does somebody have
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: anything romantic with Susie? And he was like, well, I
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: mean there's definitely like a flirtation with her and I
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: and I was like oh. But then watching and I
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: was like, well, you can't live together, then you can't
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: like start out like the Raised company. But then watching
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: their friendship evolve over the past year and them not
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: living together. I was like, oh, well, you know, maybe
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: it started out flirting and then they realized that they
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: were just friends until it got to be you know,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: to the point where it was just like so in
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: our face, like what. And then I did the interview
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: and I was like, you guys remind me so much
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: of Jared and I when we were at that point
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: in our relationship so much. And I thought in my interview,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: I was like, Susie is definitely like she's one hundred
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: percent down to cross this line. And I thought he
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: had the one that has more reservations, but I think
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: he's just the better actor right now. They're both fantastic actors.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: During that interview, and they did say they did me.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: They're like, we're sorry, we just we went into the
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: interview with us and then with Joe and Serena and
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: they're like, we just like had it packed. We're like,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: we're gonna speak from the place that we were in
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: about two months prior. So this is how it all happened.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: They did meet in November twenty twenty two, and then
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: they they admit they always had like a flirty ra
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: poor and throughout that time Justin dated people. Steusey said
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: she dated people, and the narrative of us being friends
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: was truly true until October twenty twenty three, about a
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: month before interview, and they were out with friends and
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: at the end of the night, like all the friends
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: had left this bar, and then it was just the
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: two of them and they went for like late night
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: stacks a snacks at seven to eleven, and they were
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: just like having fun, like mess around, being flirtatious as usual,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Justin said, And then he was the one who said like,
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: hmm oh oh, oh, okay, so Susie said, stop playing around.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: And then that's when he said, oh wow, this tone
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: seems a little bit different. And in the back of
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: his head he was like, I mean, if she's serious,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: I'm serious. So at first I didn't want to cross
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: those boundaries. But then they got a car, they got
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: to his place, and they both told each other how
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: they felt about each other. Said it was a real
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: he said, it was a really nice conversation, and they
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: just kind of went for it. They said, hey, listen,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know where you stand on our friendship or relationship,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: but I respect you so much and I appreciate a relationship.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: But I would be lying if I said that I
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: hadn't thought there was potential for more than a friendship.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: And then they ended the night with a kiss.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: On the couch. Do you think Neil Lanez called him.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Yet the next couple to get engaged at a bachelor wedding? No, uh,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: not yet.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: It will happened. This is super exciting.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: They're both very likable, lovable people now together. Finally we
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: have it secured in our minds that it's no longer
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: these speculations or assumptions.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: They have told the world that they are together.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Big news and Bachelor Nation Amanda Stanton gives birth to
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: baby number three.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Yep, we are so happy for her. I knew it.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: She's very active on social media, and so when I
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: saw that she had posted something and then there was
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: like a ten hour gap, I was like, she's totally
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: having baby. And then like a day or two later,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: she posted the picture so cute she and Michael and
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: the baby. The baby, Rosie, was born on the twenty
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: fourth of January one forty in Room forty two, she said,
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: and it was cute because she was born a day
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: before Charlie's tenth birthday. So it was a little early
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: birthday present for.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Her BIPs Bachelor in Paradise that is. Kylie Russell breaks
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: down the timeline. This was kind of shocking to me.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: This was juicy of her and even Jones's split, his cheating.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: And more.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: So on Nick's podcast The vi All Files, she said
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: she went through the whole timeline. She said that they
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: did have problems in their relationship, everyone does, but when
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: it comes to ever thinking that he would cheat on me,
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: she said, she absolutely did not think that was that
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: was going to happen. She really felt like he thorughly
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: loved her, and then what happened was just as we
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: kind of assumed it happened. They posted that they were
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: together on Instagram the day after the finale aired, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: she said that she just like sort of had a
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: feeling that she didn't want to go through her DMS.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: She just wanted to enjoy that like blissful release of
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: the news to the fans, and then she eventually goes
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: in the DMS and there she saw it. She saw
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: a girl said that like, I know that he cheated
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: on you. I think it was it in July something
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: like that. So really early on after getting off Paradise
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: and then she ended up having photo proof and she
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: ended up then questioning Evan where he was at that time,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: and she found out that he actually was in the
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: same place that this girl that he cheated with lived,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: which was which was La And as soon as she
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: brought it up and she was like, did you cheat
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: on me like on this weekend, like with this girl?
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Because I have a DM and I have I have proof.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: He didn't try to backtrack at all, as you know,
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: if you do who if you do have photo evidence,
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: it is quite hard to backtrack. And when I mean
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: photo evidence, the girl had her hand in the picture
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: with Avan, just to make sure that it wasn't just
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: a picture of Avan sleeping, that the girl was with
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: him in bed. And yeah, so he didn't he didn't
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: try to back out, and that's you know, that.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Was that What was he thinking? Do we know yet?
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know. It's just like it's crazy. He definitely
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: wasn't thinking with his head, no, the one in yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: the brain. Yeah, I just.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Like, do was Paradise just a joke for him? You think?
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: I don't know? I don't know.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: So weird.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: It's crazy. It's also crazy that he just like never
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: came across, especially on the season that he came from,
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: you know, with Rachel, that like he'd be like that
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: kind of guy. But you don't really know somebody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I guess from t you know, goodness, this is still wild.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Uh well full final headline of Today, and Jason Tartick says,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: of course he'd consider those wrong quotations being the Bachelor
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: after Caitlin Bristow split.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: He said this on his own podcast. I'm sure somebody
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: brought it up to him. I don't think he's just
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: gonna be like, hey, guys, I'm gonna go on a
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: monologue about how I would like to be the Bachelor.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: But he says, I think I'm probably too old. I think,
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: you know, thirty five is kind of old for a bachelor. However,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: of course he would consider if offered. I don't think
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: they're coming to my door. Let's just say that. Well,
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: that's interesting, because you know, he has a point. There
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: hasn't been a bachelor around thirty five for a very
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: long time.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: How old is Ari?
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Okay, so I guess it was Ari and Nick? Yeah,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: so what was Nick when he was on? He must
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: have been like thirty seven yeah, and then Ari was
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: probably also about thirty seven. Yeah, so it's been a while,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: but it's definitely not unheard of, and Jason has such
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: a fandom behind him that I would not be surprised
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: if they called him in for talks. I do think
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: that Joey's ratings, which have been honestly groundbreaking, the show
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: hasn't spiked like this since Peter season. Peter's season was
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: the only season in the past ten years where the
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: ratings went up, and then, of course they felt quite
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: dramatically after Peter season, but that was the last time.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: So anyway, with ratings going so well and Joey being
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: like just such a likable character from a recent season,
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: I wonder how that's going to play into their their
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: their pick for the next season.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I think Jason's perspective is probably right. Would he say
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: no to it right away? No?
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Why would he? Is he expecting a phone call? Probably not,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: But I'm guessing his name gets thrown out there. I
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: don't know how that works.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Like talks sure being the
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: actual one? Probably not? Yeah, I think they really learned
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: their lesson though, go for the hot guy that everyone.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Likes what I mean.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: I saw some memes out there that I won't I
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: won't even really go into because I don't want to
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: offend the past couple of bachelors. But they were funny
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: and it was just like, you know, just just pick
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: the guy that everybody's rooting to be the Bachelor and
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: it's gonna work out for you.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Joey's definitely one of those guys. He's doing great well.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Speaking of Joey, we are going to break down episode
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: two of the Bachelor. It is a gonna be really
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: interesting breakdown. I have some questions for Ashley that I
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: think might put her in the corner a little bit.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna force her to answer some things. Maybe she
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: doesn't want to answer things. But it's gonna be a
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: great episode breakdown. We can't wait to do it. But
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: this has been the headlines of this week in Batchel
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: their Nation. So until next week, where we have more headlines.
