- 0:00Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
- 0:03Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Hey guys, what's up.
- 0:07Speaker 3: It's our Golden Bachelor marathon of almost famous episodes.
- 0:13Speaker 4: And we are here, Well, it's actually me.
- 0:16Speaker 3: I'm here with Rachel, which is how she loves to
- 0:19Speaker 3: remind everybody.
- 0:20Speaker 4: This is how she likes it.
- 0:21Speaker 5: Yes, this is the way it's meant to be. And I,
- 0:24Speaker 5: I mean, there's a reason it keeps happening.
- 0:30Speaker 3: Is getting put in these girl chats in situations they
- 0:32Speaker 3: would have loved us girl chatting on the show.
- 0:34Speaker 2: I literally would have girl chatted really well.
- 0:36Speaker 4: On the show, given them good tea.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Absolutely all right.
- 0:39Speaker 3: So I was just talking before you got in here
- 0:43Speaker 3: about like the potential drama that'll happen tonight. So we're
- 0:47Speaker 3: really confused how well. And I know that the audience
- 0:51Speaker 3: listening to this is actually like, oh no. They carried
- 0:54Speaker 3: you know away with a live episode and it was
- 0:57Speaker 3: great and they were able to have compelling two hours.
- 1:00Speaker 2: But sitting here four hours.
- 1:02Speaker 3: Before filming starts, I am confused how they're gonna pull
- 1:06Speaker 3: this off. And I think it's still fun to have
- 1:07Speaker 3: a little speculation. Uh huh, even if people know actually how.
- 1:12Speaker 4: It turns out.
- 1:13Speaker 3: Do you think that they're going to involve drama tonight
- 1:15Speaker 3: or is it just going to be a love fest.
- 1:18Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:19Speaker 5: I was here last night the night before, and this
- 1:23Speaker 5: is just crazy. I've never seen so many Bachelor alumni
- 1:26Speaker 5: in one place.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Yea, And it's a little overwhelming because like, yes, we
- 1:30Speaker 3: all we like kind of have a relationship with like everyone,
- 1:34Speaker 3: but you don't know back Like every time you turn
- 1:38Speaker 3: a corner, you're like, oh, how do am I going
- 1:39Speaker 3: to behave there?
- 1:40Speaker 4: How am I going to act?
- 1:41Speaker 2: Then what we're gonna chat about?
- 1:42Speaker 5: There's my ex boyfriend, there's his ex fiance, Like literally
- 1:45Speaker 5: just insane being here. There has to be something, like
- 1:49Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I'll say it. There has to be something
- 1:51Speaker 5: that happens tonight or it'll be boring. You think, no,
- 1:54Speaker 5: something dramatic will happen. There's absolutely no way they're going
- 1:57Speaker 5: to put this many of us in one space.
- 2:00Speaker 2: And nothing's gonna happen.
- 2:01Speaker 5: Maybe I'll be wrong, but I'm also a cynic, so
- 2:04Speaker 5: who knows.
- 2:06Speaker 3: I think like, for just like us liking good TV,
- 2:10Speaker 3: like I kind of want something dramatic to happen.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Now, do you think that I am I know me that,
- 2:17Speaker 2: like I'm here to watch it.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Do you think that it'll be like young Bachelor or
- 2:23Speaker 3: older Bachelor that'll.
- 2:24Speaker 4: Have the drama.
- 2:25Speaker 3: I know that those ladies, the Golden Bachelor ladies, are
- 2:28Speaker 3: gonna like drink a lot of wine tonight, not that
- 2:30Speaker 3: you know how it is when six year old ladies
- 2:32Speaker 3: drink wine because like you have a mom, because I
- 2:38Speaker 3: have a mom, and like, these ladies love getting together
- 2:43Speaker 3: so and we know that their camaraderie is actually like
- 2:46Speaker 3: very positive. But what about the ladies like Faith and
- 2:50Speaker 3: like Leslie who might have fresh feelings still for Gary.
- 2:56Speaker 5: It is so funny that you say that, because I
- 2:58Speaker 5: didn't even think about that, and I think drama. I'm
- 3:01Speaker 5: thinking like Bachelor in Paradise, like the like us see
- 3:03Speaker 5: younger people.
- 3:04Speaker 2: But these golden women, they will bring the drama.
- 3:07Speaker 5: And they are not scared. They're not afraid to say
- 3:11Speaker 5: how they feel. They don't care. Like if there was
- 3:14Speaker 5: ever a moment that someone was gonna be like I object,
- 3:16Speaker 5: it would be.
- 3:17Speaker 2: At this way. That's all we need. We need either
- 3:21Speaker 2: Leslie or Faith to say I object.
- 3:23Speaker 3: I object, And you know, I don't even know if
- 3:25Speaker 3: it would be at this point because they wanted to
- 3:27Speaker 3: beat with him. I think they would just both of them,
- 3:30Speaker 3: just based on like interviews that I did with Faith
- 3:32Speaker 3: and like then I've heard Leslie Doom. I think they'd
- 3:35Speaker 3: be like no, because he played us all.
- 3:40Speaker 5: Can you imagine because this is not out of the
- 3:43Speaker 5: realm of possibility, it's really not.
- 3:45Speaker 2: It's live any live anything. Someone could get engaged, people
- 3:50Speaker 2: could get in fights like who knows?
- 3:53Speaker 3: All right, well, I guess that would be truly the
- 3:56Speaker 3: most dramatic thing that could ever happen.
- 3:58Speaker 4: Is an objection.
- 4:00Speaker 3: Do you think that Susan will even say the words?
- 4:01Speaker 3: Does anybody like forever hold your peace type thing?
- 4:04Speaker 5: I think there will absolutely be a line, and I
- 4:07Speaker 5: think there will be a directed long pause and there will.
- 4:11Speaker 3: Taylor Swift play will like you know the song, what's
- 4:15Speaker 3: the song?
- 4:15Speaker 5: Speak now play something is like there's no way that's
- 4:19Speaker 5: gonna get cut.
- 4:20Speaker 2: It can't get cut, and you can't can get cut.
- 4:22Speaker 3: You did that can't get cut in adience exactly in
- 4:26Speaker 3: a lot anymore.
- 4:27Speaker 5: So.
- 4:27Speaker 3: I was watching it and in like the scripts, like
- 4:32Speaker 3: because they'll give you like outlines, they don't really add
- 4:34Speaker 3: those in the outlines. I think just like a lot
- 4:37Speaker 3: of couples have just requested not to have it in
- 4:39Speaker 3: there because it just seems so old school. It seems
- 4:43Speaker 3: like something we would do, like in the Renaissance.
- 4:47Speaker 2: I know, but that kind of makes it like it.
- 4:55Speaker 3: Because probably Gary and and Theresa probably had that at
- 4:58Speaker 3: their first ceremonies.
- 5:00Speaker 5: No, definitely, yeah, one hundred, Like I don't know, and
- 5:05Speaker 5: who would it be Leslie Orphy or both of them?
- 5:08Speaker 5: And would Joan jump in and would Kathy tell me
- 5:10Speaker 5: this zip it?
- 5:11Speaker 4: Oh? Kathy would definitely.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Kathy is waiting for her moment in the spotlight tonight
- 5:16Speaker 3: for sure, especially Susan officiating, which is like her best friend.
- 5:20Speaker 3: She's probably just like, how do I get my face
- 5:23Speaker 3: on this camera?
- 5:24Speaker 2: And I will be eating it up the entire time.
- 5:26Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 5:26Speaker 3: Really, Just I hope for all of us that it
- 5:29Speaker 3: is them serving the drama tonight. Uh okay, So, like,
- 5:33Speaker 3: how do you feel like being at like another zillion
- 5:35Speaker 3: the Bachelor thing after you you know, you've been like
- 5:40Speaker 3: thinking that you're done with it all.
- 5:42Speaker 5: I know, I keep saying I'm like, this is the
- 5:43Speaker 5: last time I'm on TV, and then I was at
- 5:46Speaker 5: AFR and now I'm here. But it is really good
- 5:49Speaker 5: to like see everyone again, but yeah, actually done now
- 5:53Speaker 5: maybe who knows?
- 5:55Speaker 2: You know, you never know.
- 5:56Speaker 3: Well, what I love is that I got to watch
- 5:59Speaker 3: a couple episode with you in it in Paradise still
- 6:03Speaker 3: after I last saw I.
- 6:04Speaker 4: U said, now I can ask you some questions about that.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Did you have any say in what was.
- 6:11Speaker 3: Put like the text that was put over you when
- 6:14Speaker 3: it said like, you know, Rachel has no desire to
- 6:17Speaker 3: be on any show anymore?
- 6:19Speaker 2: Like does it?
- 6:19Speaker 3: She didn't want to even entertain this question or whatever
- 6:21Speaker 3: the heck it was. I was dying you like that right?
- 6:25Speaker 1: Well?
- 6:25Speaker 2: Because some people thought it was shady.
- 6:27Speaker 5: No, I thought it's hilarious. I was in Germany and
- 6:30Speaker 5: the episode aired. I didn't even see it, and I
- 6:32Speaker 5: saw something online. It was like a picture of it,
- 6:35Speaker 5: and I was like, oh, they just did like they
- 6:37Speaker 5: posted that.
- 6:37Speaker 2: It was like an edit.
- 6:38Speaker 5: And then I was like, wait, no, it actually And
- 6:41Speaker 5: it's so funny because I went back in my text
- 6:43Speaker 5: with one of the producers and she was like, oh,
- 6:45Speaker 5: they're doing a where are they now?
- 6:46Speaker 2: Like what do you want to say? And I was
- 6:48Speaker 2: like I want literally nothing to do with that because
- 6:50Speaker 2: I I just that's.
- 6:51Speaker 5: So embarrassing, like what am I going to put on there?
- 6:53Speaker 5: Like Rachel's still singling looking for like I'm not doing
- 6:56Speaker 5: that Like so I was like, no, I don't want
- 6:57Speaker 5: anything to do with that, and she went, okay, word
- 7:00Speaker 5: for word, I thought it was amazing.
- 7:02Speaker 2: That is so great. Okay, I thought it was hilarious too.
- 7:05Speaker 3: I didn't know how anybody thought that that was like
- 7:08Speaker 3: shady business.
- 7:09Speaker 5: They're always looking for like something though, but no, one
- 7:12Speaker 5: hundred percent me.
- 7:23Speaker 3: So then we talked about Braiden last time and how
- 7:25Speaker 3: you guys did like DM a few times and like
- 7:28Speaker 3: we were like, oh, maybe we should like revisit this rotation,
- 7:30Speaker 3: but nothing ever happened of it. And now he's with
- 7:33Speaker 3: Christina Mandrel and she's here at the wedding with him.
- 7:36Speaker 3: Like have you seen the two of them? Have you
- 7:38Speaker 3: talked to them?
- 7:39Speaker 2: I haven't talked to them, but I did see the
- 7:42Speaker 2: two of them.
- 7:42Speaker 5: I feel like they are also a couple that like
- 7:45Speaker 5: they would bring the life of the party, bring the drama.
- 7:48Speaker 5: So who knows, who knows what it could happen. Definitely,
- 7:51Speaker 5: they could definitely bring something like.
- 7:54Speaker 4: The dancers, though they'll just probably like wild on.
- 7:57Speaker 5: The true or maybe we'll get like a Braiden Christian
- 8:00Speaker 5: engagement or like, who knows?
- 8:03Speaker 3: Is there anybody here that could get engaged? Who are
- 8:06Speaker 3: the single people here? Like, I need to know who
- 8:08Speaker 3: you could end up making out with tonight.
- 8:11Speaker 5: I don't think there's many one of their sons, one
- 8:13Speaker 5: of the Golden Lady's sons. Like, I'm actually the only
- 8:17Speaker 5: single person here.
- 8:18Speaker 2: I can't think of anyone besides you.
- 8:20Speaker 5: Yeah, well Caitlyn Bristow okay allegedly, yeah, maybe who knows?
- 8:24Speaker 3: Do you want to talk about that? I mean, I'm
- 8:26Speaker 3: not going to put my two cents, and.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm really happy.
- 8:29Speaker 5: But for whatever the situation is, I think Zach's really
- 8:33Speaker 5: good guy. I really love Caitlyn, so whatever, you know,
- 8:36Speaker 5: it's making them happy. I think, who knows? This world
- 8:40Speaker 5: is so weird, and that's just like what it is.
- 8:42Speaker 5: We all kind of it's weird. Yeah, who knows?
- 8:45Speaker 4: Okay, So there's nobody for you to make out with tonight?
- 8:48Speaker 2: No, I don't think so I need to find someone's son. Literally,
- 8:52Speaker 2: that's Matt. Do you think that there's a lot of
- 8:54Speaker 2: sons here?
- 8:54Speaker 5: They're better be they better do something for me. They're
- 8:57Speaker 5: dropping the ball time and time again. They better bring
- 8:59Speaker 5: me a son.
- 9:01Speaker 3: Okay, So why do you think you are here if
- 9:03Speaker 3: you are the only single person here? And then there's
- 9:06Speaker 3: Joey who is you know, we presumably not single, but
- 9:09Speaker 3: he's like here.
- 9:10Speaker 5: Alone correct who knows? You know, maybe they're just still
- 9:16Speaker 5: holding out hope I'll meet someone and they can get
- 9:17Speaker 5: it on camera.
- 9:18Speaker 4: So I love it.
- 9:20Speaker 2: I love that you're here, you know, like I love
- 9:23Speaker 2: being around you.
- 9:24Speaker 4: But you definitely.
- 9:27Speaker 2: But like a little bit.
- 9:29Speaker 5: Of I'm the token single person of this franchise. I
- 9:33Speaker 5: have to be the only single one in all the situations.
- 9:35Speaker 3: That's you know, it doesn't it's not the worst situation.
- 9:38Speaker 3: I think it's fun iranchise for.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Yes, you know, hopefully we'll see.
- 9:46Speaker 4: All right, well is there if you got on any
- 9:48Speaker 4: real life datesly.
- 9:50Speaker 5: Not really like I'm just in a place where I
- 9:53Speaker 5: feel like, if it happens, naturally, it'll happen.
- 9:57Speaker 2: I've definitely like met people.
- 9:58Speaker 4: But nothing like.
- 10:01Speaker 2: Exciting. Okay, well we'll have a chat when something exciting happened.
- 10:05Speaker 2: And we were talked about like the celebrity crush that
- 10:07Speaker 2: you could possibly get with.
- 10:08Speaker 5: Yes, we were talking about the d MS when we
- 10:10Speaker 5: were in that Where were we modering? Yeah, yeah, no,
- 10:14Speaker 5: we still need to figure that out tonight. So I
- 10:16Speaker 5: remember this, that's another thing we don't do.
- 10:19Speaker 3: You don't have a celebrity crush. We can't like I know,
- 10:21Speaker 3: you got to think about that. It's going to be
- 10:23Speaker 3: like you have to have a passion behind it.
- 10:25Speaker 4: Truly.
- 10:25Speaker 5: I was thinking like, maybe we do like athlete row
- 10:28Speaker 5: instead of I think at this time, take a different avenue.
- 10:31Speaker 3: I think athlete is very easy to not want to
- 10:35Speaker 3: say that they're too easy.
- 10:36Speaker 2: No, you could go with Jimmy Garoppolo. Wait, who was
- 10:39Speaker 2: it that you do? Yes, incredible with the picture. I'm
- 10:43Speaker 2: doing that.
- 10:44Speaker 3: God, I forgot about the picture that was That was
- 10:47Speaker 3: the I had a picture.
- 10:49Speaker 2: I had a whole Instagram of pictures to myself. You
- 10:52Speaker 2: know it is sometimes we get dms and you don't
- 10:54Speaker 2: like the profile. So he sees I wanted to be
- 10:57Speaker 2: attention grabbing.
- 10:58Speaker 4: That's so embarrassing.
- 11:00Speaker 2: I'm so here for wow. Okay, well, why do you
- 11:02Speaker 2: think why is Gabby not here?
- 11:04Speaker 3: It was her birthday yesterday, so she was invited, yes,
- 11:06Speaker 3: but and she not single though.
- 11:09Speaker 5: Yeah, she's very in love at the Beverly Hills hotel
- 11:11Speaker 5: with her girlfriend for her birthday, and honestly, I don't
- 11:14Speaker 5: think I would come either.
- 11:15Speaker 2: Yeah, loving life good though her.
- 11:18Speaker 4: Yeah so nice. They had a really cute cozy Christmas.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Yes, so nice.
- 11:22Speaker 3: All right, well, Rachel, thanks for coming on here and talking,
- 11:26Speaker 3: you know, talking potential drama.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Absolutely, thanks for having you know what.
- 11:30Speaker 3: People are probably listening to this and they're like, wow,
- 11:32Speaker 3: none of this happened, but the things that could have been.
- 11:35Speaker 5: But the way we are pisces and we will just
- 11:37Speaker 5: speculate on everything that could possibly happen is why we're here.
- 11:41Speaker 3: We're daydreaming of good TV exactly, and romance right oh.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Yeah, and the love we're supposed to love love.
- 11:48Speaker 5: We do love love, oh love the tea and the dramahade.
- 11:52Speaker 3: Is that a quality because I know loving pabla is
- 11:56Speaker 3: a quality, That's what I think that kind of goes
- 11:58Speaker 3: hand in hand.
- 11:59Speaker 4: Is like if you love, you also love drama.
- 12:01Speaker 2: And I think it's just the delusion which we have.
- 12:04Speaker 3: Oh we are the most delusional, but facts you can do.
- 12:08Speaker 3: But as I say on my Instagram, I mean they're
- 12:10Speaker 3: optimistic or delusional depends on your point of view exactly.
- 12:12Speaker 2: That is not Pisces to Pisces coded alright, bye, guys.
