Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
0:03
Speaker 1: with i R Radio. It's another week of the Almost
0:08
Speaker 1: Famous podcast and Ben is here. Yeah, Ben's here. I'm
0:12
Speaker 1: so happy we missed you. It was your birthday, well
0:16
Speaker 1: you were gone. I thought it was your fake birthday
0:19
Speaker 1: because the Internet says that you have an April birthday. Right. Yeah,
0:23
Speaker 1: Like my birthday has been like wrong all of the place.
0:26
Speaker 1: It's March. I'm thirty three years old. I was born
0:29
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty nine. I did celebrate it when I
0:32
Speaker 1: was gone. And when is your fake birthday? Your internet birthday?
0:36
Speaker 1: There's multiple. I think the Internet thinks I'm thirty four,
0:39
Speaker 1: and I think it is in April. It's like April one,
0:43
Speaker 1: but it's March nine, I promise you. Okay, all right,
0:47
Speaker 1: he knows when he was born. So how was your
0:49
Speaker 1: trip to Israel? We uh, you missed some big Bachelor days.
0:54
Speaker 1: You know you left. You had seen the pre recorded finale,
0:59
Speaker 1: but you didn't see the live thing where it just
1:01
Speaker 1: turned on its butt. Yeah, it's wild. So let me
1:05
Speaker 1: start with the Bachelor and then I'll go into my
1:07
Speaker 1: trip real quick. So I was on a plane when
1:10
Speaker 1: the finale was airing, So I was following it on
1:12
Speaker 1: Twitter because I couldn't watch it on the plane. We
1:14
Speaker 1: were flying um to munich uh and we connected there
1:17
Speaker 1: and so I was following Twitter. I had no idea
1:20
Speaker 1: what was going to happen. You know, Uh, Bachelor alum
1:24
Speaker 1: had gone out and seen the final episode before it
1:28
Speaker 1: aired and kind of hinting at, hey, this is crazy,
1:30
Speaker 1: and I did the same thing because I watched it.
1:32
Speaker 1: I was like, this is this is wild, Like this
1:34
Speaker 1: has never been done. I think he's gonna end up alone.
1:38
Speaker 1: But you saw that he apparently to you ended up alone,
1:41
Speaker 1: or at least you probably assumed that he did, because
1:43
Speaker 1: Susie had, from what you last saw, dumped him out
1:46
Speaker 1: the altar exactly, and so then I found out there together,
1:50
Speaker 1: which is shocking. Um, that's about all my thoughts because
1:53
Speaker 1: I just saw on Twitter. Bet I texted. I was
1:56
Speaker 1: like that, period, this is crazy. Susie is with Clayton.
2:00
Speaker 1: That's crazy, And I mean, I don't know even what
2:02
Speaker 1: to think about it, Like, good for them, I'm happy
2:04
Speaker 1: for him. Uh, you know, we had Clayton on. He
2:07
Speaker 1: was obviously very upset. I mean, I don't think he's
2:10
Speaker 1: a bad dude. I wanted to see him happy. I
2:12
Speaker 1: just thought, Oh, this isn't gonna go well for him.
2:13
Speaker 1: It seems like it went okay, Like it doesn't seem
2:15
Speaker 1: like it was the best thing ever. But he found
2:17
Speaker 1: maybe love through it, and that's cool. Uh. And so
2:20
Speaker 1: that was my thoughts because I was I was only
2:21
Speaker 1: getting the Twitter updates and I was only getting text
2:24
Speaker 1: from Ashley and so now, um, I'm callup to speed
2:27
Speaker 1: and uh. And I would say, hey, I'm in the
2:29
Speaker 1: camp of being a supporter of Susie and Clayton. If
2:31
Speaker 1: they're happy together, That's where I stand. And the other
2:36
Speaker 1: big thing was Gabby and Rachel are both bachelorettes. You
2:40
Speaker 1: have firsthand experience being on a bachelorette at a season
2:45
Speaker 1: that has two bachelorettes. How do you think that they're
2:49
Speaker 1: going to deal with this differently? We already know right
2:51
Speaker 1: off the bat that they're not going to be eliminating
2:53
Speaker 1: a bachelorette, which is great. They just started filming this week.
2:57
Speaker 1: So how do you feel they're going to spin it? Well,
3:00
Speaker 1: I'm glad they're not eliminating somebody that was weird. I
3:03
Speaker 1: also though, uh, in finding it hard to even imagine
3:07
Speaker 1: how they're gonna do it if they don't eliminate somebody,
3:10
Speaker 1: because it's gonna get messy, Like, are they doing group
3:13
Speaker 1: dates with both bachelorrettes? Are guys choosing who they like more? Like?
3:16
Speaker 1: That just feels like it puts a lot of weird
3:18
Speaker 1: pressure on everyone. Yeah. I was saying that if the
3:24
Speaker 1: guys get to pick who they want to go on
3:26
Speaker 1: dates with, it's going to inevitably split the girls and
3:29
Speaker 1: it's gonna make one feel really bad when the guys
3:32
Speaker 1: want to go out with one more than the other. Yeah,
3:36
Speaker 1: So I don't get it. I don't, but I'm not
3:38
Speaker 1: mad at it. Like, they're both very likable, very good
3:43
Speaker 1: for this role, and I'm so excited to see how
3:46
Speaker 1: they navigate it, like to see how they do um
3:50
Speaker 1: because I think they're both gonna go down as some
3:52
Speaker 1: of the best bachelorettes we've ever had. I just don't
3:56
Speaker 1: know how they're gonna do it together. I don't. I've
3:59
Speaker 1: been saying in the podcast that you were in around
4:01
Speaker 1: for that there's no way that the whole I love
4:05
Speaker 1: you both, or I love all three of you isn't
4:07
Speaker 1: going to come back around. Because now I feel like, Yeah,
4:11
Speaker 1: these girls there's gonna be some guy who's torn between
4:14
Speaker 1: the two of them, and then they're going to be
4:16
Speaker 1: fighting over this guy. This is just how I see
4:18
Speaker 1: it unfolding. Yeah, which is which is good TV. Sad again,
4:23
Speaker 1: but also good t V. It's everything that's sad for
4:27
Speaker 1: for them will be good TV for us, you know
4:29
Speaker 1: what I mean. So we see and uh, we'll highlight
4:33
Speaker 1: we get the list of the guys that are going
4:35
Speaker 1: to be on the show supposedly today we'll just kind
4:37
Speaker 1: of like point to two of them because later on
4:40
Speaker 1: we'll do our normal like episode will rebreak down all
4:42
Speaker 1: the guys. So that was my thoughts. Um, here's my
4:44
Speaker 1: thoughts in Israel. Israel was an incredible trip. We went
4:47
Speaker 1: with Denver Community Church. Um, it's a pilgrimage they do.
4:51
Speaker 1: So it's two weeks long and it goes through the
4:53
Speaker 1: desert kind of wraps around to all the places that
4:56
Speaker 1: are within the Bible, from the Old Testament the New.
4:59
Speaker 1: It felt like to me because we went with not
5:02
Speaker 1: only the pastor of my church, but also somebody who
5:06
Speaker 1: um is a historian. Uh, and so he has both
5:10
Speaker 1: like um a bit like he believes in the Bible,
5:13
Speaker 1: but he's He also has a lot of history based
5:16
Speaker 1: into what he's saying, so it's not always as clear
5:18
Speaker 1: cut as me what the Bible says, which I really like.
5:20
Speaker 1: It felt like a clear cut It felt like two
5:22
Speaker 1: weeks of a college course in religion, history, geography, UM
5:28
Speaker 1: culture all slam in one. So it wasn't relaxing, but
5:31
Speaker 1: it was really incredible And I don't fully know my
5:36
Speaker 1: thoughts yet other than a few key points here one UM.
5:39
Speaker 1: I learned a lot and I felt like for me personally,
5:44
Speaker 1: just with my faith tradition and my faith practice, I
5:47
Speaker 1: feel more understanding of it um. I think that's the word, like,
5:52
Speaker 1: I just understand more than I did when I walked in.
5:55
Speaker 1: I also was very surprised at how Israel Uh and
6:01
Speaker 1: that area has kept up some of these ruins. So
6:03
Speaker 1: seeing stuff that's five thousand years old blows my mind.
6:06
Speaker 1: I have no concept of that here living in the
6:08
Speaker 1: ur like stuff that's still standing from five thousand years ago.
6:13
Speaker 1: And the final thing is what I learned a lot
6:15
Speaker 1: about is Um, just the current situation and the political
6:20
Speaker 1: situation within Israel with Um, the Palestinians and kind of
6:24
Speaker 1: how they're treated and how they're pushed aside, and um,
6:28
Speaker 1: how the country has it's such a prevalent and right
6:34
Speaker 1: in front of you, UM thing. When you're there, you
6:38
Speaker 1: see it all the time. You see cities that are
6:40
Speaker 1: gated off and Palestinians can't come into Israel or they
6:43
Speaker 1: can't fly out of Israel. And that is something that
6:46
Speaker 1: I'm still processing. I think it's pretty clear how I
6:51
Speaker 1: feel what's right and wrong, but I'm still processing, like
6:57
Speaker 1: how they got to this point? Where did How does
6:59
Speaker 1: it get better? How do we allow people to um
7:03
Speaker 1: live in a place where they have freedoms and they
7:05
Speaker 1: feel like they can thrive no matter who they are,
7:07
Speaker 1: where they come from. I think that's a question a
7:09
Speaker 1: lot of us ask here in the US right now.
7:11
Speaker 1: And so that's still something that I'm sitting on, just
7:13
Speaker 1: trying to think through. Okay, how does this get better? Um?
7:17
Speaker 1: The trip was great and uh my parents and Jessicin
7:19
Speaker 1: I had a great time together. I will say the
7:21
Speaker 1: most relaxing part of the trip was the Sea of Galilee. Uh.
7:25
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that the Sea Galley was also a
7:28
Speaker 1: vacation spot for for many that people have like lake
7:30
Speaker 1: homes on the Sea of Galley which was so weird. Um.
7:34
Speaker 1: But we're back. Jet lag hasn't fully gone away, uh,
7:39
Speaker 1: but we're getting better. I worked out today, so I'm
7:42
Speaker 1: starting to feel more normal and I am excited to
7:45
Speaker 1: be here. I felt when you're gone for too long,
7:47
Speaker 1: you start to feel disconnected, and I don't love that feeling,
7:50
Speaker 1: and so it is good to be back. Did you
7:52
Speaker 1: go to Bethlehem? We did, Um, which is a Palestinian area, UM,
7:58
Speaker 1: and so it's gay. I mean there's a all around it,
8:01
Speaker 1: so you drive in, you have to go to a checkpoint.
8:03
Speaker 1: We went to Bethlehem, UM to see uh one of
8:07
Speaker 1: the old churches there that Helen Constantine's mother UM built.
8:14
Speaker 1: I think it was like four four a d uh,
8:17
Speaker 1: and it's still standing. And that's another part. It's like
8:20
Speaker 1: you're going to places that millions upon millions of people
8:24
Speaker 1: who are a part of Christianity or Judaism or Islam
8:29
Speaker 1: have been to. Like these spots are places that so
8:32
Speaker 1: many people who maybe don't believe all the same things,
8:35
Speaker 1: but they're humans who have tried to exist in this
8:37
Speaker 1: world in the best ways they know how have visited
8:40
Speaker 1: and pilgrimaged to which is such a wild thing that
8:44
Speaker 1: these places are still standing and you're touching things that
8:47
Speaker 1: millions of people thousands of years ago had also touched. Yeah,
8:53
Speaker 1: it's it's sacred in a lot of ways. Isn't that funny?
8:57
Speaker 1: How fresh everything in America is? I mean I live
9:00
Speaker 1: in the West. Yeah, we find we find like errorheads
9:05
Speaker 1: and uh like stuff from the gold mines and we
9:07
Speaker 1: freak out and that's like what two years ago? Maybe nothing. Yeah,
9:12
Speaker 1: it's nothing like we can conceptualize that, you know, five
9:17
Speaker 1: thousand years ago. Not so much. Well, I could go
9:19
Speaker 1: on and on and talk about this trip. I really could.
9:21
Speaker 1: There's so many things that I would I would want
9:24
Speaker 1: to say and can say about it. Those are the
9:26
Speaker 1: main points. But I do know. We have a big
9:28
Speaker 1: podcast in front of us today. Actually, Uh, Bob Guinea
9:31
Speaker 1: and Trista Cutter are coming on because they have a
9:33
Speaker 1: new project that I think people are gonna be really
9:35
Speaker 1: pumped about. Uh that it is going to be a
9:37
Speaker 1: kind of a part of our almost famous family. They're
9:39
Speaker 1: here right now to tell us more about it. Let's
9:41
Speaker 1: take a break actually and bring them on to tell
9:44
Speaker 1: us about their new podcast. As we promised, Trista Cutter
9:57
Speaker 1: and Bob Guinea are here two of favorite people in
10:01
Speaker 1: the world, but also they just happen to be on
10:03
Speaker 1: the franchise. I have been personally able to spend time
10:06
Speaker 1: with both of them, actually has as well. I have
10:09
Speaker 1: great memories with both of them that I could speak to.
10:11
Speaker 1: I'm so pumped that they're joining our family here and
10:15
Speaker 1: expanding what we do on the Almost Famous podcast. So
10:20
Speaker 1: I'll just throw it over to YouTube. You're hosting this thing,
10:23
Speaker 1: tell us about it? Oh God, okay, okay, So we're
10:29
Speaker 1: almost famous and they are, well what we're calling here
10:34
Speaker 1: in a very self deprecating way, formally famous, and they're
10:40
Speaker 1: going to be doing a podcast which is about the
10:44
Speaker 1: the past Bachelor Bachelor at seasons when we are going
10:48
Speaker 1: to remain staying the podcast of the current seasons. So
10:52
Speaker 1: Trista Bob explain more like, are you going to be
10:55
Speaker 1: watching your own seasons first and then like recapping them
10:58
Speaker 1: in like cringing wall speaking about at all? You know,
11:04
Speaker 1: I think is kind of cringing, is for sure. You know.
11:07
Speaker 1: I think, um, this whole thing was sort of born
11:09
Speaker 1: a little bit out of obviously. I mean, you guys
11:12
Speaker 1: have had such success and I've been a guest on
11:14
Speaker 1: your show a bunch and I still don't really even
11:16
Speaker 1: know how to spell podcast, so there's that. Uh, But
11:20
Speaker 1: it was really born from you know, Tristan. I always
11:22
Speaker 1: get called on to do a lot of the same
11:25
Speaker 1: television things where we talk about the days of yesteryear
11:29
Speaker 1: and the you know, the O G seasons of the show,
11:32
Speaker 1: and um, I think that was kind of in large part.
11:35
Speaker 1: You know, we have so much fun doing those things together,
11:37
Speaker 1: and it's always a blast recapping, you know, how things
11:41
Speaker 1: were and all the experiences from then until now. And um,
11:45
Speaker 1: you know, I I fancy it as my mother going
11:48
Speaker 1: into the frozen food section of the Chicken and the
11:50
Speaker 1: chicken department at the mall and somehow she's still you
11:53
Speaker 1: know frozen the food sec frozen food section of the
12:03
Speaker 1: I'll walk in there and no one recognizes me, and
12:06
Speaker 1: it's kind of funny. So that started this whole conversation.
12:09
Speaker 1: And I love hanging out with Trista, and I think
12:12
Speaker 1: it's going to be a little bit of like the
12:13
Speaker 1: you know, from the Bachelor Mansion to the Suburbs Conversation
12:15
Speaker 1: to Right Team. So yeah, Bob and I just did
12:18
Speaker 1: we did um an interview the other day, and um,
12:22
Speaker 1: We were texting afterwards, going we should do something together.
12:25
Speaker 1: We have a great relationship and have for obviously almost
12:27
Speaker 1: twenty years. You guys, yes, it's crazy. So um, you know,
12:39
Speaker 1: since you guys kind of go off season and obviously
12:42
Speaker 1: have some other things to focus on in your life
12:45
Speaker 1: right now, we figured we'd help out if we could,
12:49
Speaker 1: and why not talk about the olden days? We'll fill
12:53
Speaker 1: the gap. So are we going to watch your season's first?
12:58
Speaker 1: Are we going to do season at a time? You're
13:00
Speaker 1: gonna want? You're gonna binge a season and then come
13:02
Speaker 1: and talk about it, um, episode by episode. I think honestly,
13:07
Speaker 1: we're kind of throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing
13:09
Speaker 1: what sticks, and uh, we'll watch, you know, an episode here,
13:16
Speaker 1: an episode there. We would love to have people call
13:19
Speaker 1: in and ask questions. Um, you know, I can talk
13:23
Speaker 1: to my experience with Ryan and how we've been successful,
13:26
Speaker 1: and Bob can talk about his experience of not being
13:28
Speaker 1: successful and I'm a success now. It just took me
13:33
Speaker 1: a long time. He has success now. Of course with
13:38
Speaker 1: two there are times a charm, right, Yeah, We're not
13:42
Speaker 1: sure so I you know, honestly, I think we're here
13:47
Speaker 1: to do whatever with anyone from the past who wants
13:50
Speaker 1: to come on and share some time with us. Well,
13:53
Speaker 1: I do think it's going to be great because one
13:56
Speaker 1: of the questions that we get asked all the time
13:59
Speaker 1: is how is this showed different now than it was
14:01
Speaker 1: when you went on, And so the thread line to
14:05
Speaker 1: draw that comparison, to tell the old stories, to bring
14:08
Speaker 1: on people in the progression of what it was like
14:10
Speaker 1: when you were on, and bringing the progression to what
14:12
Speaker 1: it's like now. I think it's gonna be really interesting
14:15
Speaker 1: for so many loyal fans who have been a part
14:17
Speaker 1: of this franchise, for you know, some of them all
14:20
Speaker 1: their lives are all their at least adult lives. Yeah,
14:24
Speaker 1: I agree. I think it's gonna be really interesting. I mean,
14:25
Speaker 1: it's so different from winterest than I did it to
14:28
Speaker 1: when the two of you were on the show as well.
14:29
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just remarkable how things have changed, but
14:32
Speaker 1: oddly how they stayed the same. I feel like there
14:42
Speaker 1: are a lot of people who are watching now who
14:45
Speaker 1: were like babies when we were on and they don't
14:48
Speaker 1: really understand where it all started. So I think it'll
14:52
Speaker 1: be interesting for for everybody. I mean, if you're a
14:56
Speaker 1: bachelor fan, then I would assume you wouldn't You want
15:00
Speaker 1: to know like how it all started, and that's here
15:03
Speaker 1: for yeah, and you know, like I also like the
15:07
Speaker 1: I like the element too of I want to hear
15:09
Speaker 1: about Trista's a day in the life of Trista, you know,
15:11
Speaker 1: I want to know what Trista Sutter is doing. Know
15:13
Speaker 1: where does she go? What is she doing? And actually
15:16
Speaker 1: leave the spot behind you. Yeah, the morning hair and
15:20
Speaker 1: makeup is there? Then? Oh yeah, hair and makeup meaning
15:24
Speaker 1: my finger and yes, I'll tell you all of it. Bob,
15:33
Speaker 1: It's just so glamorous. I can't think of two better
15:38
Speaker 1: people to do this with. Uh, this is gonna be awesome.
15:41
Speaker 1: You both have played a role in my story. Uh
15:45
Speaker 1: from you know, when I was announced as the bachelor.
15:48
Speaker 1: I saw Trista randomly at a breakfast spot like a
15:51
Speaker 1: week later, and she said, hey, good luck and kind
15:54
Speaker 1: of sent me out into the wild. And then Bob,

17:05
Speaker 1: critically and it's never right and always a lot of fun.
17:09
Speaker 1: We'll do that we'll do that for you, but for
17:13
Speaker 1: this for today, let's just give her overall opinions. Actually,
17:17
Speaker 1: you've seen the list of guys, does any of them
17:19
Speaker 1: like jump out at you? Um? And then also, what's
17:22
Speaker 1: your overall thoughts on this group? Okay, the overall thoughts
17:26
Speaker 1: are that they're way too young. I thought the same thing.
17:30
Speaker 1: Most people are complaining about that. That's like the general
17:32
Speaker 1: consensus online because Gabby's thirty one, and let's see Grachel, Uh,
17:40
Speaker 1: she's twenty six. But it just looked a little bit.
17:44
Speaker 1: They look a little bit more gauged for her because
17:47
Speaker 1: most of these guys are in their twenties. And yeah,
17:51
Speaker 1: if we want to make fun of them or like
17:52
Speaker 1: do first impressions? Number one first impression is Ryan M
17:57
Speaker 1: from Boston, who is thirty five, looks exactly like Clayton.
18:02
Speaker 1: Maybe if Clayton met crystals, it looks exactly like Clayton.
18:06
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the takeaways. Look up Ryan
18:09
Speaker 1: M from Boston, Ashley your spot on there. I would
18:12
Speaker 1: say my first opinion is, yeah, they're a little young now. Uh,
18:16
Speaker 1: I think I think they can go, you know, get
18:20
Speaker 1: in bad. I don't know what Gabby's looking for necessarily,
18:23
Speaker 1: but it would have been nice to see a few
18:25
Speaker 1: guys uh that kind of reach that thirty five year
18:28
Speaker 1: old range. There's you know, maybe four of them that
18:31
Speaker 1: I'm kind of scrolling through and seeing. It's a good
18:34
Speaker 1: looking group. Uh, it's a group with Uh it seems
18:39
Speaker 1: like a lot of personality. It looks like there's twins
18:41
Speaker 1: on here. Is there twins? I don't know. I was
18:46
Speaker 1: distracted by the thought of when it comes to the Bachelor,
18:50
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it's it's a little cruel. But when
18:53
Speaker 1: it comes to the Bachelor these days, the girls are
18:56
Speaker 1: like so pretty, right, so beautiful, and that's how it's
19:01
Speaker 1: always been. But when you look at Bachelor, at the
19:04
Speaker 1: girl and I know this is super vain, but it's
19:06
Speaker 1: like then you look at the pictures that the that
19:08
Speaker 1: the girls get of the guys, and you're like, uh,
19:12
Speaker 1: I could find this at my local bar. Yeah, but horrible, No,
19:20
Speaker 1: you have You're not horrible, and I mean you're it's
19:23
Speaker 1: definitely your opinion. I would just say, Ashley, I remember
19:28
Speaker 1: very distinctly that Hannah Brown season. We looked at the
19:32
Speaker 1: guys were like, this is not good, Like none of
19:34
Speaker 1: these guys and their pictures at all seem like they're
19:39
Speaker 1: there standouts. And then you know, obviously for Tyler Cameron,
19:43
Speaker 1: but even holy crap, no, we were like that guy's hot. Well,
19:47
Speaker 1: maybe I forget, but I think I remember being like
19:50
Speaker 1: that one's the only real hot one. Good, I'm good
19:52
Speaker 1: for you. And then can you name anybody else from
19:55
Speaker 1: that season besides Peter, I mean, Connor Saley seemed to
19:59
Speaker 1: do all right from Okay, okay, yeah, So, I mean
20:03
Speaker 1: you never know. Their personalities will shine people. It's a
20:06
Speaker 1: great thing as you get older, you realize that the
20:08
Speaker 1: most attractive people can become very unattractive once you get
20:11
Speaker 1: to know them, and people that you don't find attractive
20:13
Speaker 1: physically can become very attractive once you get to know
20:16
Speaker 1: the personalities. And so so true, Ben so true. But
20:19
Speaker 1: then look at Caitlin season the best of both worlds there,
20:22
Speaker 1: You guys are just nation of beauty inside and out.
20:25
Speaker 1: You're so biased, all right, No, I'm not. I think
20:28
Speaker 1: it's the general consensus, you guys. You guys, I did
20:30
Speaker 1: that poll a couple months ago, and Caitlin's one with
20:35
Speaker 1: flying colors. Well, uh, that's very nice, and I hope
20:40
Speaker 1: I would be grouped up into why the vote was
20:42
Speaker 1: a positive vote? UM, but I know Jared was included
20:46
Speaker 1: in that, but you're also very very much included in that.
20:50
Speaker 1: At the top of my brain, you're the best ash.
20:52
Speaker 1: You always made me feel better. I I am excited
20:55
Speaker 1: for this season. I think these bachelorettes are gonna shine.
20:59
Speaker 1: I hope people to tune in to watch them. I
21:01
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be something that the show has a
21:03
Speaker 1: hard time doing now is can you bring back viewership? Uh?
21:07
Speaker 1: If they ever can, it's this time, it's with two bachelorettes.
21:10
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's a good opportunity. So
21:12
Speaker 1: I hope this cast is full of personality, UM, full
21:15
Speaker 1: of incredible things and uh, and I'm hoping some of
21:18
Speaker 1: these guys do shine because it would make for a
21:20
Speaker 1: complete season. I know we're gonna have good leads, but
21:23
Speaker 1: it's always the question is can we have good cast members? So,
21:28
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, we'll break down the guys in a
21:30
Speaker 1: ton of detail here coming up in the next couple
21:32
Speaker 1: of weeks or next of all months, because this isn't
21:35
Speaker 1: air until July. UM. But until then, we do have
21:38
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about that's going on in Bachelor
21:41
Speaker 1: Nation a ton going on, So Ashley, let's take a break.
21:45
Speaker 1: We come back. We have some bachelor headlines to break
21:47
Speaker 1: down with you. Hey friends, A surprise self care package
21:56
Speaker 1: of beauty goodies landed at my door. I'm used to
22:00
Speaker 1: beauty good easy landing at the door and I'm a
22:03
Speaker 1: huge fan of these, and so is my wife. In
22:05
Speaker 1: the day, I'm opening it with you. I also have
22:09
Speaker 1: a box here that I'm about to open. It's from
22:12
Speaker 1: los Eton and you probably know them because they have
22:15
Speaker 1: an iconic hand cream in this silver tube. But there's
22:18
Speaker 1: a lot more here. And today we have Julianna, an
22:21
Speaker 1: ambassador from lox Eton, and she's going to lead us
22:24
Speaker 1: through this box. Hi, Julianna, tell us about your journey
22:27
Speaker 1: with lox Eton and all about these skincare products. Well,
22:30
Speaker 1: thank you for having me. I'm happy to be sharing
22:32
Speaker 1: some of these items with you, and kind of like you,
22:34
Speaker 1: I've always known the label. I've actually used some of
22:37
Speaker 1: the products for like ten years now, but as I
22:39
Speaker 1: got to know los Eton as the company, I realized
22:42
Speaker 1: there's so much more to the brand. We of course
22:44
Speaker 1: have an extensive line of skin and body care products,
22:48
Speaker 1: but what I love about them is they're all using
22:50
Speaker 1: sustainably sourced ingredients right from the beginning. We go from
22:53
Speaker 1: farm to the lab to your skin at home, and
22:56
Speaker 1: we use high quality natural ingredients so you can feel
22:59
Speaker 1: good about using this stuff on your skin, your face,
23:02
Speaker 1: your hands. And I brought a few of my favorites
23:05
Speaker 1: to share with you. Can't wait, all right, So I
23:08
Speaker 1: have the box in front of me as well. Ashley
23:10
Speaker 1: does also, so walk us through what we're looking at.
23:13
Speaker 1: Let's start with the face. Our number one serum that
23:16
Speaker 1: we have is actually called the Reset Oil and Serum,
23:19
Speaker 1: and we call it Reset because it is like the
23:21
Speaker 1: overnight time machine. That's what Marie Clear actually calls it,
23:25
Speaker 1: because it revitalizes your skin overnight. Actually, I know you
23:28
Speaker 1: just had a baby, so did I. We're not getting
23:31
Speaker 1: eight hours of sleep at night and sometimes that shows
23:34
Speaker 1: on our skin. So this uses natural ingredients to awaken
23:37
Speaker 1: your skin and really work on those fine lines and
23:40
Speaker 1: wrinkles that no one wants to deal with. Okay, So
23:43
Speaker 1: I'll be using that tonight. And the easy part about this,
23:47
Speaker 1: it really is easy enough for everyone. It's at simple skincare.
23:50
Speaker 1: This you apply it once at night right after you
23:52
Speaker 1: wash your face, dry your face, you put on the
23:55
Speaker 1: serum and then you put on your moisturizer and that's it.
23:57
Speaker 1: And then after about a month you'll see the major
24:00
Speaker 1: changes in your skin. And it includes some natural ingredients
24:04
Speaker 1: that are iconic within Losyton brand. If you don't know
24:06
Speaker 1: our anti aging line, we use Immortel essential oil and
24:11
Speaker 1: that flower from the island of Corsica in the south
24:14
Speaker 1: of France, if you want to get fancy, is known
24:16
Speaker 1: as the flower that never wilter faces. I'm just showing
24:18
Speaker 1: you guys to give you that visual has been like
24:22
Speaker 1: cut off from the plant for years now. Really yeah,
24:27
Speaker 1: it never wilt. So it's kind of like this fountain
24:30
Speaker 1: of youth that we found at last I know, right,
24:34
Speaker 1: and it's so easy to use, but it has natural
24:36
Speaker 1: anti aging molecules, really rich and antioxidants, and that oil
24:41
Speaker 1: is actually in a serum of Achmela, which is nature's botox, Hello,
24:45
Speaker 1: and Marjoram which brightens the complexion. This is the actual
24:48
Speaker 1: sound of me opening the box. Can't get it open
24:52
Speaker 1: fast enough. Yes, So we have the face serum and
24:56
Speaker 1: we actually also have an i serum that targets that
25:00
Speaker 1: really delicate area under your eyes. So if you have
25:03
Speaker 1: some puffiness you, like I said, nobody is getting eight
25:06
Speaker 1: hours of sleep right now, no matter what you're doing.
25:09
Speaker 1: And you want to reawaken the skin under your eyes
25:12
Speaker 1: as well. So this has that in more telecential oil
25:15
Speaker 1: to work on anti aging fine lines and wrinkles, that
25:18
Speaker 1: Achmela alerrisia to smooth the fine lines and wrinkles, and
25:22
Speaker 1: then that Marjorom extract which also brightens the skin. And
25:26
Speaker 1: what about body products? Anything good there? We have so
25:29
Speaker 1: many good things here and a lot of our body
25:32
Speaker 1: products have shade butter. So locks Eton you can't really
25:35
Speaker 1: talk about locks Eton without talking about our iconic shade butter.
25:40
Speaker 1: And what's so cool about shade butter is it's kind
25:43
Speaker 1: of this amazing natural beautifying product. Um. It's nature's ultimate
25:48
Speaker 1: beauty bomb. So if you have dry skin, maybe you
25:50
Speaker 1: have dehydrated skin, your skin can't hold onto hydration. Shade
25:55
Speaker 1: butter is not going to break down in water easily.
25:57
Speaker 1: So you'll add this amazing layer on to your skin,
26:00
Speaker 1: almost like a shay shield to fight natural aggressors. Um.
26:04
Speaker 1: And as we're washing our hands constantly, especially, this is
26:07
Speaker 1: really going to protect nourish and repair your skin long term.
26:11
Speaker 1: This stuff is absolutely incredible. I love learning about it. Um.
26:15
Speaker 1: It's been about a big part of my life the
26:17
Speaker 1: last few years since I got married and met my wife.
26:20
Speaker 1: Now she's an esthetician, so she's all about the skin.
26:23
Speaker 1: So thank you for sharing with us, Juliana. This means
26:25
Speaker 1: so much to us. Oh, I'm so glad you use it.
26:29
Speaker 1: You are following the right path because these are ingredients
26:32
Speaker 1: that are universal for everyone. So I hope you enjoy
26:35
Speaker 1: and I can't wait to hear how your skin feels.
26:38
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I am so excited to dig
26:41
Speaker 1: into these products that you know, we haven't been as
26:43
Speaker 1: familiar with as the handgream, and we will be reporting
26:46
Speaker 1: back on how you know we look because of it
26:49
Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, guys, listeners,
26:53
Speaker 1: we want you to explore all the skin care goodness
26:55
Speaker 1: that lock c Eton has to offer. So choose one
26:59
Speaker 1: or more of their produc and let us know which
27:01
Speaker 1: one that you like best. So go to lock eaton
27:03
Speaker 1: dot com. This is how you spell it. I know
27:05
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty intense. L O C C I T
27:09
Speaker 1: A n E. That is lock eton dot com. Ben
27:16
Speaker 1: before we break down Bachelor headlines. I'm not sure who
27:20
Speaker 1: I was talking to, but why didn't they just start
27:23
Speaker 1: feeling Paradise now, air that in the summer and then
27:28
Speaker 1: go into the Bachelorette because we have a Bachelorette season,
27:32
Speaker 1: Michelle and Clayton season to go off of for Paradise.
27:35
Speaker 1: Are we are they doing Paradise? Paradise is the ultimate
27:40
Speaker 1: summer show. It's gonna be weird for watching it in
27:42
Speaker 1: the fall. I don't. I mean, the rumors have been
27:45
Speaker 1: a Paradise isn't come back. That doesn't make any sense
27:48
Speaker 1: because everybody gets some way more excited for Paradise than
27:51
Speaker 1: anything else. But the ratings were down even below the
27:54
Speaker 1: Bachelor's this year. They were they were below the Clayton season,
27:58
Speaker 1: I believe, so you have to fact they're always below
28:02
Speaker 1: the main seasons. It just seems that the fandom loves
28:06
Speaker 1: it harder, even though I guess it's very Loyalship is lower. Yeah,
28:10
Speaker 1: it's a very loyal following and it is a summer show,
28:12
Speaker 1: so you'd expect viewership to be lower. That's kind of
28:14
Speaker 1: what the summer is all about. People aren't watching TV.
28:16
Speaker 1: They're out later the sun is brighter, you know, later
28:19
Speaker 1: in the day, so they don't sit in inside and
28:21
Speaker 1: watch TV. I don't know if we yet, and we'll
28:24
Speaker 1: look into it, so next week we can talk about
28:26
Speaker 1: I don't know if we can convince. I don't know
28:27
Speaker 1: if we can be convinced that it's coming back. And
28:29
Speaker 1: I think this airing in July does make us wonder, uh,
28:35
Speaker 1: if things are changing, which would be really sad. I
28:37
Speaker 1: would not love that, um, but I wonder if things
28:40
Speaker 1: are changing. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe you're right, what
28:45
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Alright, alright, let's go into bachelor headlines.
28:48
Speaker 1: Here we go. First headline of the day. Daniel Ratcliffe,
28:52
Speaker 1: you know him as Harry Potter, says he un ironically
28:55
Speaker 1: watches Love Is Blind and The Bachelor with his girlfriend
29:00
Speaker 1: Okay love the fact that he says that he doesn't
29:03
Speaker 1: believe in guilty pleasures. That's how he started the conversation off,
29:07
Speaker 1: which I totally agree with. You shouldn't feel guilty about
29:10
Speaker 1: any of your pleasures. He says that he has referred
29:17
Speaker 1: to his love for reality TV. He said that he
29:20
Speaker 1: would have in the past referred to his love for
29:22
Speaker 1: reality TV as a guilty pleasure. But now he just
29:25
Speaker 1: admits that he on ironically enjoys it. And he says
29:30
Speaker 1: that the most the most recent season to The Bachelor,
29:34
Speaker 1: he did not watch, but he heard that it was
29:37
Speaker 1: quote mental the end. Anyway, it's pretty crazy that he
29:43
Speaker 1: watches it. We're glad he does he watched our season.
29:46
Speaker 1: I guess he could have been filming Harry Potter back
29:49
Speaker 1: then too. Well. Hey, next headline is Kitty Thurston and
29:52
Speaker 1: John Hersey celebrate one year anniversary of meeting on the
29:56
Speaker 1: Bachelor at they're still together yep uh. And their Instagram posts,
30:02
Speaker 1: the one that Katie Postage says, it is mind boggling
30:05
Speaker 1: to think has been exactly one one year since this evening.
30:09
Speaker 1: And then he said, you know there's a picture obviously
30:12
Speaker 1: of you know, her first night of the Bachelor, right
30:15
Speaker 1: and he said, contrary to what Katie Thurston says, I
30:19
Speaker 1: absolutely believed I could be right here in this moment,
30:24
Speaker 1: which is really funny. Um. And then he said, sorry
30:28
Speaker 1: to all the fans whose Bachelor brackets we left up there.
30:33
Speaker 1: You go, that's good, that's good. I hope the Bachelor
30:36
Speaker 1: brackets need to extend a year with points because things
30:39
Speaker 1: have changed, Like, I don't know, dude, and I love
30:41
Speaker 1: that makes total sense, but I get where you're going
30:43
Speaker 1: with the Yeah, there you go again. I want to
30:45
Speaker 1: quote um that I was a big John Hersey fan
30:47
Speaker 1: when he's on the show. I thought he had a
30:48
Speaker 1: chance and here she goes eliminates him early. So, UM,
30:52
Speaker 1: call me a bachelor expert. I don't know. Hey. Next
30:54
Speaker 1: headline is one the people have been curious about. Cassie
30:57
Speaker 1: Randolph shares how she found out that her ex, Colton
31:00
Speaker 1: Underwood was gay. So she was on Caitlin's podcast. And
31:05
Speaker 1: if you guys remember, we had Colton on our podcast
31:08
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, and I asked him, I said,
31:11
Speaker 1: was there any reason why you didn't tell Cassie before
31:15
Speaker 1: going on g M A and announcing that you were
31:17
Speaker 1: gay earlier? Right? Why didn't you tell her earlier before
31:22
Speaker 1: all of America found out? And he said that there
31:24
Speaker 1: was like a legality reason. And this is what she
31:27
Speaker 1: said on Caitlin's podcast. She said, I found out the
31:31
Speaker 1: same way everybody else did. I was actually in Mexico
31:35
Speaker 1: on vacation with my friends, which was which was great
31:38
Speaker 1: to be away, but yeah, I found out through snapchat
31:42
Speaker 1: on g m A. It was horrible. It was just
31:45
Speaker 1: a kind of just a shocking kind of thing. I
31:49
Speaker 1: guess I did kind of. Um. She said, like, okay,
31:53
Speaker 1: so that's all she said about that. And then she
31:55
Speaker 1: said about taking a step back in the Bachelor world
31:58
Speaker 1: because you know, she's not super involved anymore, which was
32:00
Speaker 1: kind of shocking to see. Here on the finale, she said,
32:02
Speaker 1: I guess I did kind of take a step back
32:04
Speaker 1: from doing things for a while last year because I
32:07
Speaker 1: needed a little break from everything. So maybe that's why
32:10
Speaker 1: people were shocked. Um. And she just said that, um,
32:16
Speaker 1: she didn't want, you know, everything to be out there
32:18
Speaker 1: in her face and that she needed a healthy break
32:21
Speaker 1: from the franchise. That's fair, that's fair well. Bachelor Nations.
