He has a Google 145 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: doc for just about everything you can think of that 146 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: he adds to on a daily basis.

You know, 152 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: Ryan's behavior was odd, it was off, it was weird. 153 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: We haven't seen it before. Uh. Some people even stood 154 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: up for him and said, hey, he had a playbook, 155 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: Like Jared last week said hey, I could see my 156 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: friends putting the play back together. I think the difference 157 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: here is um is just how strategic it felt like 158 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: it was. But we don't really get to read the 159 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: playbook yet. Maybe we will one day. You better frame 160 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,599 Speaker 1: that thing somewhere, because I bet that thing could be 161 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: worse some money if you if you put it out there. 162 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: But uh, his ex is coming out and saying yeah, 163 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: not shocked, not surprised.

I mean, I said, I even had my 167 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: name mentioned in it. Jason Tartek had his, Mike Johnson 168 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: had his, Blake hortsman head is like everybody had their 169 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: name mentioned in this. There's a lot of research that 170 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: was done and as you could probably find on Twitter 171 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: and according to a lot of articles this week, a 172 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: lot of people had quotes about this playbook. In fact, 173 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: Mike Johnson went as far as to say this, I 174 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: don't know if I should feel offended because I only 175 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: have one skill l O L or is this a 176 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: proud moment? Mike's referring to I think the sentence in 177 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: the play but that said, Mike Johnson's got a lot 178 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: of swagger. Um, I think that was what they said, 179 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: and I think that's the only thing shown, So Mike's 180 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: assuming that's only school he has. Um. Well, a lot 181 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: of bastel Nation did come out and talk about the playbook. 182 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: It's obviously the talk of the town. An episode one. 183 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: I doubt it's gonna be brought up again, or at 184 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: least not until after the final rows next headline is 185 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: this future Bachelor or at least assume bachelor. Clayton Echard's 186 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: Season eight teen Bachelorette debut didn't make a strong impression 187 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: on fans. This according to US Weekly, We're a little 188 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 1: surprised here as almost famous podcast. We thought it was fine, 189 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: He's not gonna be the start of this season, but 190 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 1: he's gonna be there. But the article goes on to 191 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: say that made Clayton did make his Bachelor Season eighteen 192 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: debut on Tuesday, and viewers had a strong feeling about 193 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: the future Bachelor's introduction. Not everyone, it says, and Bachelor 194 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: Nation was impressed by the firmer college football players. Nice guy, 195 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: your team The quote is this all the men I've 196 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: seen just tonight? I'm still confused how Clayton is the 197 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: next Bachelor? One viewer tweeted. Another social media user question 198 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: the orthopedic sales reps choice of footwear for such an 199 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: important occasion, teasing Clayton didn't even get nice shoes for 200 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: the first night of That's the New Bachelor. Hey, let's 201 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 1: give Clayton a break. Guys, just trying to figure out 202 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 1: he didn't know he's gonna be the Bachelor when he 203 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 1: signed up tonight one. But yes, there are some great 204 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: guys in this season. I am uh excited to see 205 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: how Clayton kind of rises to the top and why 206 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: producers felt so strongly that he needed to be the 207 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: Bachelor and where they already started filming while Michelle's season 208 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: is airing. You know, I guess here we're kind of 209 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: expecting clan to do like magical big things. The franchise 210 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: really rallied around him. But yeah, so far, uh we 211 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: we didn't get a seat on night one. So hopefully, 212 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: hopefully soon we'll get to see him shine because we 213 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: really want to cheer for the next next lead of 214 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: the Next Bachelor. The next headline reads this Bachelor that's 215 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: Claire Crawley reflects a messy breakup with Dale Moss. He 216 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: knows the truth, little secretive there. The quote is this, 217 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: My biggest regret is trusting the process, trusting a man, 218 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: a man's words and he and who he showed me 219 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: he was. She said, I don't think that that's a regret. 220 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: Like I trusted somebody. I believe somebody that they were 221 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: who they said they were, or that they would hold 222 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: up to the promise this that they made when they 223 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: got down on one knee. She continued, I don't know 224 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: if that's a regret I loved and I've always loved, 225 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: and I had such a deep love for Dale. The 226 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: reality star went on to address the former couple's very 227 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: public breakup, which came amid rumors that Moss was somehow 228 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: involved with his fellow franchise star Abigail Well. We know 229 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: that can't be too true because she's very happy with 230 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: no one now. But following a split, Moss issued a 231 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: statement via his rep claiming that Crowley had blocked him 232 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: on all social media. It can get messy, he says, 233 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: very messy and very icky, and I always try to 234 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: air on the side of taking the high road. No, 235 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: isn't that sweet, even though there are a lot of 236 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: things I could say, Well, these two, uh, these two 237 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: just don't seem to be getting along, and they haven't 238 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: really for a while. Now. We hope here they both 239 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: move on and move forward. We followed this relationship really 240 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: since the beginning. When they got together and celebrated that, 241 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: and they broke up and we talked about that. Then 242 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 1: they got back together, we celebrated that, and now they 243 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: broke up again. It feels like this time is probably 244 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: um over with. Both times have felt a little messy right, 245 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: both times haven't felt clean. Uh, but well they're done 246 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,839 Speaker 1: for now and both sides are speaking up and it 247 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 1: feels like both sides have pain in her involved. Well 248 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: that's all the headlines we have for you today or 249 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: for this week.
