WEBVTT - Bye, Beverly (And Her Appendix)

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.800
<v Speaker 1>This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast

0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:04.640
<v Speaker 1>with iHeartRadio.

0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Hey everyone, Ashley here, Ben is well, Well what Ben

0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 2>talk about the state of his life when he comes back?

0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:16.759
<v Speaker 2>But you all know that Jess is giving birth this week.

0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:19.479
<v Speaker 2>And I just wanted to come on here because we

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 2>got info yesterday that really clarified why Beverly.

0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 3>Beverly or Tega left this season early.

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Rachel Recki and I were on here recapping a couple

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.600
<v Speaker 2>of days ago, and we thought it was the weirdest

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 2>thing that the show just made it seem like, oh,

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 2>she didn't feel she didn't feel very good, and I

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:45.239
<v Speaker 2>think she's gone forever. Well, they love to do. They

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:51.320
<v Speaker 2>have had a tendency lately of taking of making lights

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 2>of some things and editing out parts that probably should

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 2>have been in there, just to give clarification to the audience.

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 2>And then they have liked to fill in these gaps

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:07.119
<v Speaker 2>on their official Warner Brothers show, which is the Happy

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Hour podcast with Grocery Store Joe and Serena, and they

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 2>had her on this week. They had Beverly on that

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 2>show and they explained what really happened. She was very sick,

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 2>but it wasn't just very sick. It was appendicitis.

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 3>So here's a quote.

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:29.400
<v Speaker 2>I went to go take a nap and I wake

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.320
<v Speaker 2>up and my stomach's hurting, and I'm like, okay, maybe

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.039
<v Speaker 2>I should go to the bathroom. Maybe the food didn't

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 2>sit well. And then all of a sudden, I start

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 2>throwing up, and then I'm like, okay, maybe I just

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 2>need to get out whatever it is. Her stomach continues

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.839
<v Speaker 2>to hurt, and then she goes I'm in excruciating pain.

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm continuing to throw up. It's like a mess. And

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 2>this goes on for twelve hours. Like why wasn't this

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 2>a storyline? Back in the day? This would have been

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 2>a storyline, because I mean, it's awful for her, but

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>it is kind of interesting. Awful, but like what at

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 2>this point you would think it would be drama. It

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 2>would be one of those moments where they get the

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 2>ambulance and they show the ambulance and the you know,

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:10.360
<v Speaker 2>the scene to the next episode in the big teaser,

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 2>and then it ends up being like, you know, awful,

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 2>but not too much of a not too much of

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 2>a big deal.

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, appendicitis is kind of a big deal.

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 2>She said that that sometimes she experiences nausea during panic attacks,

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 2>and she has diagnosed anxiety, and she was thinking, maybe

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm anxious because I have a one on one later

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 2>in the week. I actually understand that knowing you have

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 2>a one on one so much earlier than just like

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 2>the morning of, would really get you kind of in

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 2>a tailspin. To be like, okay, in twenty four hours,

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.679
<v Speaker 2>in forty eight hours, I have to go on a

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 2>first date with someone on TV and it's gonna last

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:58.639
<v Speaker 2>like twelve hours.

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 3>That is anxiety. And so she was just thinking, maybe

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 3>this is all anxiety.

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 2>But after ruling out food poisoning, she was taken to

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.800
<v Speaker 2>the hospital and after three hours of being in the er,

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 2>the doctor came in and said, you have an appendicitis

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 2>and you're gonna need emergency surgery, all right. So this

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 2>news was really hard for her to process, she said,

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 2>especially with her being away from her family and her friends,

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 2>and she underwent the surgery the next The next day,

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.920
<v Speaker 2>she went home to Howard Beach, New York. Shortly after

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.360
<v Speaker 2>the procedure, she goes, I was really really sad. It

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 2>honestly took me a month and a half to recover

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 2>emotionally physically obviously, I was okay.

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 3>Emotionally, I was not.

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 2>I was left with the what if, Like what if

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Grant and I were to build a connection. He saw

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 2>and felt exactly what I was seeing and feeling. And

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 2>I know they didn't show a lot of our moments,

0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 2>but we had a lot of cute moments. And she

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 2>said that she didn't get to say goodbye to Grant

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 2>when she left the mansion. She said, I hope I didn't.

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 2>He didn't think that I left just because you know,

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 2>and she goes. Eventually they start flying to places and

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 2>it just wasn't safe or smart for me to fly,

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.039
<v Speaker 2>which when you're recovering from surgery, which is why they

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't let her rejoin the cast, and you know, the

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.840
<v Speaker 2>long days and long nights. I was just sad about leaving,

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 2>But once I got home and everything settled in, I

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 2>was just like, I guess this was the best decision

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 2>for me to come home and recover because it was

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot. Oh my goodness, gracious, I can't imagine. I

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 2>still think this is bizarre that they didn't put this

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 2>into the show. They normally would have been like having

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 2>a goodbye scene, like why wouldn't he go to the

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 2>hospital and be like, hey, I just heard you're going

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 2>into for surgery tomorrow. I'm so sad. This is bizarre

0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>I think about. I mean, this is obviously not a comparison,

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 2>but on Jones season, Chock lost his mom in the

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 2>midst of the season. They let him fly back for

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:14.359
<v Speaker 2>a few days to settle things at home, and then.

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 3>He flew back.

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.239
<v Speaker 2>This is a little different because you know, the pain

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 2>is not grieving pain. It's like actual physical pain, probably

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 2>less painful, but it was a storyline, right, and they

0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 2>obviously had Chock leave and come back because he was

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 2>such a front runner.

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 3>I think it could give Beverly a little bit of

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 3>relief in knowing that this is awful. I'm sorry. I'm sorry,

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 3>but I'm sorry, Beverley. If you're listening to this.

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 2>You you having all those what ifs, right, and the

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 2>what if suck. I always say that I tried to

0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 2>eliminate as many what ifs in life as possible, so

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:58.720
<v Speaker 2>I know what you're going through. But if Grant and

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 2>if production really thought that you were going to be

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:06.359
<v Speaker 2>like Top four, they would have made I'm sorry to

0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:10.160
<v Speaker 2>say you a storyline. They would have made this sickness

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 2>a storyline. And they could have worked out some way

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:22.040
<v Speaker 2>for you to come back. Of course, this recovery, yeah,

0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 2>you probably should have been on planes to Europe.

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:25.680
<v Speaker 3>You probably couldn't have done that, so.

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 2>I get it, but wow, knowing this makes it even

0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.719
<v Speaker 2>weirder for me that they didn't make it a storyline,

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:40.520
<v Speaker 2>and then it's it's just I just feel really bad

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:44.160
<v Speaker 2>for her. Can't imagine be giving the opportunity to feeling

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 2>something with Grant and then just to be plucked away

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:51.839
<v Speaker 2>from it and buy something that you really can't control.

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 3>That's all.

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:54.599
<v Speaker 2>But we wanted to get on here and do a

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.039
<v Speaker 2>mini podcast episode about this just because you know, Rachel

0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:04.839
<v Speaker 2>and I really at this missing plot, and now we

0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 2>have the answers.

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 3>Until next time, Talk to you, letter love guys. Bye.
