<v Speaker 2>It's Almost Famous podcast. We are here. It's the off season.

0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:11.080
<v Speaker 3>It's a very short off season for the Almost Famous podcast.

0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 3>We're going to be right back at it breaking down

0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 3>the Golden Bachelorette, and one of our hopes and goals

0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 3>and also one of our most earnest opinions, is that

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:22.759
<v Speaker 3>we hope you are so excited for the Golden Bachelorette

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:25.279
<v Speaker 3>and we want to get you excited for the Golden Bachelorettes.

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 3>So we're going to end this episode talking about the

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:32.800
<v Speaker 3>Golden Bachelorette and its upcoming premiere on September eighteenth. We're punkier.

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 3>It's Almost Famous podcast keeps our off season shorter.

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:36.879
<v Speaker 2>Which I like you do.

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:39.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, you know, I like off season, but

0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 4>I also like in season.

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 3>It does make it easier to talk to this But

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 3>like when we had a longer off season, a deeper

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:49.880
<v Speaker 3>off season, I like you we got some guests, Yeah,

0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 3>we got some guests that like really pulled some some

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 3>good stuff out. So we kind of turned more into

0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 3>just a breakdown podcast, which is fine.

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 5>Kah, because I like interview heavy as well.

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 4>Hey, guys, let us know what interviews you want us

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:06.959
<v Speaker 4>to see, what interviews you want to hear.

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:09.319
<v Speaker 5>Who we haven't had.

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.560
<v Speaker 3>On a good point, who would you be most interested

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 3>in hearing from, even if we agree or disagree with

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 3>them as people on the show, it would help us

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 3>know who you're into.

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and also, well you should let them know that

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.680
<v Speaker 4>a lot of the times we don't have control over

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 4>the guests, getting guests who are still under contract. So

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.399
<v Speaker 4>if you're wondering, like why we haven't had you know,

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 4>let's just say Devin. Well, the show is in charge

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 4>about who Devin does and does not talk to, maybe

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:43.680
<v Speaker 4>not does not talk to, but like they're very going

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 4>to be very picky, and they try to spread it

0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 4>out as much as they can.

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>They're scared of us, actually that's what they are.

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 3>They're scared that we would get the truth out and

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.559
<v Speaker 3>it would be too hard hitting, and so they're keeping

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 3>Devin far away from almost famous podcast.

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 4>Actually I'm going to be interest to see when they

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 4>do let Devin speak, and yes, it really is like that, guys,

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 4>when he is let to speak, sure he could get

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 4>on Instagram and say what things that you know he

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.520
<v Speaker 4>wants to say but if it's anything about the show,

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 4>they're going to tell him to take that.

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 5>Down right away, right Yeah. And I don't know.

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't even think he's gonna want He probably doesn't

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 4>want to talk. He probably doesn't want to do interviews

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 4>right now.

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean, I can't imagine any interview he's going

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 3>to do makes him feel like he's.

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 5>He's gonna look good.

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't think he can really. Only he can only

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 4>go up. That's what I'm saying. He could only go.

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Then you should come on here. Then. Actually, we had

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 2>a big weekend.

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:48.959
<v Speaker 3>We were together this weekend for a very exciting celebration

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 3>of along Gale and his new wife, Molly. Alan was

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 3>the executive producer during our time on the show and

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:01.960
<v Speaker 3>probably is the best known producer, I would say from

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 3>the show, just because he has a big character, and

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 3>he's gone on to do other projects post Bachelor World,

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 3>like f Boy Island and Island.

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there's like some he have some horror movies in

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 4>the works, And I think just because he is such

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 4>a character, he kind of garnered a following on social

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 4>media of his own.

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 5>It's the Year of Alan.

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 4>If you want to follow him on Instagram, and then

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 4>like he has the food of a lawn. So so

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 4>all of that just makes him he's just he is

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 4>the ultimate character and we love him just in so

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 4>many ways that we can't even describe.

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you love and hate the man when you're with

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 3>him working for him on the show, and then you

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 3>learn to love him a lot. So he was to

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 3>give some context for me. I think everybody that goes

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 3>on the show that's around long enough has a moment

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:55.839
<v Speaker 3>with a lin that stands out.

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>That's kind of what his thing. For me.

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 3>He was the one that really, I don't want to

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 3>say got me to because it kind of sounds like forced.

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 3>He supported me in my kind of ability to admit, hey,

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 3>I feel unlikable or my self esteem is so low

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 3>on myself that I feel the more people get to

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 3>know me, the less they'll like me, which came out

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 3>on the show as I feel unlovable. That was a

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.479
<v Speaker 3>four hour conversation with a lot that we had one

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.479
<v Speaker 3>on one, and it was a beautiful conversation for me.

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 3>It was one of the moments that I would say,

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, when you're on the show, you never know

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.159
<v Speaker 3>if you can trust alone or not. I think was

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 3>kind of the the sentiment, unless.

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:40.480
<v Speaker 4>You're us trust to put my life eat to your hands.

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Such an interesting decision you make, considering now he does

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 3>horror films. But the uh, you know, I think that

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 3>was a conversation that I look back on today and

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 3>has a had a massive impact in my life in

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:57.359
<v Speaker 3>the best of ways. And it was one of the

0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 3>first times I felt like somebody sat down and tried

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 3>to get to know me, and then the more they

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.640
<v Speaker 3>got to know me, the less they didn't judge me.

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 3>And he finally was like, you just feel lovable, and

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I do change everything. So Alan Is

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 3>is a wise counsel, and he is missed on the show,

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.040
<v Speaker 3>I think, and in so many ways.

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 4>Lots of people were dming me when they saw it

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:19.919
<v Speaker 4>was a lawn dwedding that we were at, and they're like, oh,

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.039
<v Speaker 4>the show hasn't been the same since he's left, Like

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.160
<v Speaker 4>I think a lot of people are aware of, like

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 4>his tenor on the show a lawn to me, Yeah,

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 4>we just had I can't even say it was a

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 4>brother sister relationship.

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 5>It was a godfather.

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 4>And god daughters, a fairy god father, fair god father.

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:48.479
<v Speaker 2>Yes, what about Alan made you trust truly.

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.719
<v Speaker 4>Like giddy, like I would like just giggle and smile

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:51.279
<v Speaker 4>around him.

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:55.359
<v Speaker 5>And whenever he was not around for you know, say.

0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.840
<v Speaker 4>It was nighttime on the show and he hadn't made

0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 4>his appearance yet, I'd be like.

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 5>There's a lot, where's a lot. I need a lot.

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 4>I need my heart and soul needs that man. And

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 4>then he'd walk in the room and I basically would

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 4>just like.

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.159
<v Speaker 2>Tomple him feels unhealthy, and I'd.

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 4>Always like talk to him with my hands on his

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.279
<v Speaker 4>beard and just like look in his eyes, and I

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:21.040
<v Speaker 4>just fully put my trust in him. He always had

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 4>my best interests at heart at a macro level, I felt,

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.919
<v Speaker 4>but he knew that he was going to have to

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 4>put me through some small, smaller situations that I may

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 4>not look good or I may have been really upset by.

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 4>But at the end of the day, he was always

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 4>telling me, even if this feels that's the best word

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:48.479
<v Speaker 4>I can use, You're gonna turn out great in the end, okay.

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.159
<v Speaker 4>And I think looking back on it, it was more

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:56.240
<v Speaker 4>of like you need those moments where you look like

0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.160
<v Speaker 4>you don't know what you're doing, that you look really

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.559
<v Speaker 4>dumb to be like almost related like these are true

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 4>to you. These characteristics are true to you, and it's

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.039
<v Speaker 4>going to make you so much more human in the end,

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 4>and looking back on the experience so far removed, I

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:16.440
<v Speaker 4>see exactly what he's talking about. Some of my worst

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 4>looking moments on the show. I think, like when you

0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:20.840
<v Speaker 4>add it with like all the moments.

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 5>Together, like just made me a better character.

0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 4>And he was absolutely right in the sense that I

0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 4>was really dumb at times, but then at the end

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 4>of the day, look go what my life turned into.

0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 3>He gets to know the characters very well, which is

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 3>a testament to his job.

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 5>Yes, his storytelling is unbelievable.

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 3>He was the efficient at you and Jared's wedding. Yeah,

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 3>your wedding, which was really beautiful. So, yes, had a

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 3>huge impact in your life.

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 3>There are other Bachelor contestants, some of which weren't even there,

0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 3>that he's had massive impacts in their lives. But the

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:03.760
<v Speaker 3>ones that were there where Nick and Natalie, We had Aaron,

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Adam and Raven, You and Jared. There was obviously Jessica

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 3>and myself, Ari and Lauren Lyon Thurston. Katie Thurston was there, JP,

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 3>Chris Harrison and his wife Lauren, who else, Scletar who

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.680
<v Speaker 3>was a producer on the show back in the day, Bennett,

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:27.640
<v Speaker 3>who was still on the.

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Show as a producer, was there. A couple of other producers.

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 4>C Ohn know is Nicole's not there anymore? And then

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 4>Peter Guice who also is not there anymore. So I

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 4>think Bennett is the only one that was Oh Jana too.

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:42.880
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of people that are now working for

0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 3>Alan that used to work on the Bachelor franchise. I

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:51.320
<v Speaker 3>know we're forgetting somebody that was there from the Bachelor World.

0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 3>Let me just review the picture real quick.

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 5>Caitlyn was supposed to be there, she couldn't.

0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there was a lot that were supposed to

0:08:58.320 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 2>be there that weren't.

0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:03.440
<v Speaker 4>There too, which interesting. Caitlin and Tasha both the ones

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:04.839
<v Speaker 4>that didn't show up, well, that.

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Just feels sad that they weren't. But Oh Joe and

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:09.959
<v Speaker 2>Serena were there. That's it.

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.200
<v Speaker 3>We named them all, so we got through everybody there.

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 3>It was a beautiful wedding we thought it would be.

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Jessica explained it last night at dinner. I think in

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.400
<v Speaker 3>a really great way. I said, Jessica, what do you

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.200
<v Speaker 3>think of the wedding? She's like, it was incredible, it

0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.880
<v Speaker 3>was beautiful, it was heart like felt, she was. I

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.320
<v Speaker 3>was just surprised because I had prepared for it to

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 3>be a lot less wedding e than it was. It

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 3>was a wedding, I thought, and I agreed with her.

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.440
<v Speaker 3>I thought it'd be a little more eccentric. I thought

0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 3>they would find even weirder things to do. Yes, the

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:40.200
<v Speaker 3>whole ceremony, there were plenty of weird things, sure, but

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.600
<v Speaker 3>it was a very beautiful wedding. Like it was a

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 3>great celebration of the two of them, Molly and Alan.

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 3>Molly is a big time actress, has been in a

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 3>lot of.

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.319
<v Speaker 5>Different things, most notably Castle.

0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, most notably Castle. Now the two of them are

0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.679
<v Speaker 3>working together on a few different projects and have kind

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 3>of gone to the development side of things together and

0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 3>they've done some incredible will work within that realm. But

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:07.040
<v Speaker 3>Molly is uh, well, looked stunning. Everybody I hear from

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 3>on Instagram or is telling me that Molly just looked beautiful,

0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 3>and she did.

0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 4>We don't have any pictures of her ethereal dress from

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.839
<v Speaker 4>the ceremony. She decided not to wear white, which I

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:21.079
<v Speaker 4>think made sense for her just to have an offbeat,

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 4>non traditional wedding dress.

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:25.840
<v Speaker 5>Because we weren't allowed to take pictures during the ceremony.

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if that there's any pictures out there

0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 4>of that, but it was so pretty.

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:32.080
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure they will be eventually. And then James Gunn

0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.560
<v Speaker 5>the show of DC Comics kind of that was the

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:37.680
<v Speaker 5>head of Easy Comics.

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 4>Someone Is was the efficient and that's because they met

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:44.199
<v Speaker 4>for the first time at his house.

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and he was also the producer director on Guardians

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.679
<v Speaker 3>of the Galaxy. So James Gunn's a big name, kind

0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:56.200
<v Speaker 3>of a household name. He did do the ceremony. There

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.679
<v Speaker 3>were other stars there, some of which I don't know.

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:00.319
<v Speaker 2>The name of.

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.640
<v Speaker 5>Beth Green, Matthew Lillard.

0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Nathan Fillion was there. Nathan Fillions, if you looked him up,

0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 3>you would know him for so many things.

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:07.959
<v Speaker 2>He was in.

0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 3>Rookie and Castle, Firefly, the Suicide Squad. He's like one

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.440
<v Speaker 3>of those actors that is in everything and you just

0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:17.640
<v Speaker 3>like don't.

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Know his name.

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.840
<v Speaker 4>Is he the one that was in the Dark Knight? Probably, Yeah,

0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:22.959
<v Speaker 4>there was in the Dark Knight. And then Chris Chris

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.680
<v Speaker 4>Sullivan is the one from This Is Us. What else

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 4>did I want to mention from Oh yeah, the funny

0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 4>part where a lawn had I think along wrote this

0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 4>song about a boy in peanuts and going to hell.

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 2>There's a real Peanuts Golden Boy Peanuts.

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.839
<v Speaker 5>Golden Boy Peanuts. Yeah, I mean it's a peanut brand.

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So he like wrote a song and then they

0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 4>gave us these pamphlets to not open until the song

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 4>was supposed to be performed. And guys, we all sang

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 4>a song that we had never heard before. So just

0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.880
<v Speaker 4>imagine people trying to come up with and like the

0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.839
<v Speaker 4>beat in the rhythm of a song that they've never heard,

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 4>we all saying the lyrics together.

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.080
<v Speaker 5>It was the most alaw on moment ever.

0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Alan did not come up with that song.

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:10.679
<v Speaker 5>Just let you know, Oh really, who did.

0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:15.600
<v Speaker 3>The Mountain Goats his favorite band from forever ago. It's

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 3>a Mountain Goats song, Golden Boy Peanuts, and it's probably

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:20.680
<v Speaker 3>his favorite Mountain Goats song.

0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 2>But it's it is. You can listen to it.

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:33.200
<v Speaker 3>It's by the Mountain Goats called Golden Boy.

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.839
<v Speaker 4>Well, anyway, you guys, it was a great wedding, and

0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.760
<v Speaker 4>it to us was a bachelor family wedding because to me,

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.000
<v Speaker 4>Alan is the head wizard and always will be of

0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:49.600
<v Speaker 4>the Bachelor franchise. And he made that Golden era that

0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.440
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people refer to from like two thousand

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:56.040
<v Speaker 4>and yeah, Like you know, he started, I want to

0:12:56.040 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 4>say he started with Emily Maner's season through he left

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 4>where about before Hannah season. Hannah season was the first

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:06.920
<v Speaker 4>one with Alalon.

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.320
<v Speaker 3>Final story from the wedding, A couple of things, just

0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:14.640
<v Speaker 3>a quick breakdown. People wondered and asked us whether what

0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.080
<v Speaker 3>is it like to get together again?

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Is it awkward? Is it weird? Never weird? Never awkward.

0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure you know there's disagreements amongst the different some

0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.320
<v Speaker 3>of the different people. I don't know them necessarily, but

0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.960
<v Speaker 3>everybody gets along really well. It's really exciting to be

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 3>with this group. We get so excited and it's it's

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.679
<v Speaker 3>interesting to me how you know. At first these were

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:39.200
<v Speaker 3>big parties, big celebration. This was a big party in celebration.

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.440
<v Speaker 3>But now a lot of the conversation aers found kids.

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 3>Things have taken a massive step into families and kind

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.040
<v Speaker 3>of children. A lot of the people they're having children,

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.040
<v Speaker 3>are getting married and you know, hoping to have a

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.319
<v Speaker 3>family one day of some kind and so that was

0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:54.600
<v Speaker 3>a big conversation. For a lot of it is what

0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.200
<v Speaker 3>are you doing with your kids and how are your

0:13:56.320 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 3>kids doing? And then my favorite story from the whole

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:06.679
<v Speaker 3>night is they served all different types of Asian cuisine

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:12.440
<v Speaker 3>during this ceremony. One of it was rice noodles. Ashley

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:13.959
<v Speaker 3>grabbed the bowl of rice noodles. You can check my

0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.560
<v Speaker 3>instagram right now for the exact picture. She went to

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 3>scoop out her rice noodles and they went all over

0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 3>her chest. It was impressive just how much she just

0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 3>got out of the bowl onto her body, and then

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 3>just in good old Ashley fashion.

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 2>She picks it off and throws it right back into

0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 2>the shared bowl.

0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 5>I know, I didn't even didn't even dawn on me.

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 4>It's actually I feel like, in Ashley fashion, it would

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 4>go right in my mouth.

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:39.360
<v Speaker 5>But didn't do that either.

0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 4>As far as the drama that happens at these things there,

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 4>this wasn't dramatic, but it was a tidbit. It was

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.760
<v Speaker 4>the first time Raven and Nick had seen each other

0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:51.240
<v Speaker 4>since the ending of their season.

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 3>You know, I told Jessica that night, I said, you know,

0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 3>Raven was number two on Nick season, and she goes

0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.440
<v Speaker 3>no way and say they make no sense, and she's like,

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.240
<v Speaker 3>is that we weird for them? And I was like, no,

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 3>it'd be about as weird as me seeing Jojo, Like

0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.400
<v Speaker 3>now we're married and we're starting families, Like it would

0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:09.320
<v Speaker 3>not be weird I mean for me in that situation

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.680
<v Speaker 3>at all. I don't know the dynamic necessarily with Nick

0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 3>and Raven. I don't think it ended poorly necessarily.

0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 5>No, it certainly didn't.

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.200
<v Speaker 4>And it's not like Natalie is ever going to feel

0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 4>weird about it, and Adam certainly is not going because

0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 4>he's like part of the.

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Adam, Adam, I think could care less.

0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 5>I don't even think Adam remembers.

0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I don't think Adam has any idea how Raven

0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:33.560
<v Speaker 3>season on of The Bachelor ended, Like, I don't think

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 3>he thinks about it at all, or nor does he

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.440
<v Speaker 3>lose sleep on it, because the two of them are happy.

0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.360
<v Speaker 3>Everybody's happy now and kind of off in your own lanes.

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 3>It's I would say, it's even. It would be less

0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.440
<v Speaker 3>awkward than even sitting in a room full of exes

0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.080
<v Speaker 3>like in real life. I mean, you can make that work,

0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:50.760
<v Speaker 3>right if you're.

0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.000
<v Speaker 5>Hundred percent if your real life exes.

0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:57.920
<v Speaker 4>That feels a lot weirder because at least with The Bachelor,

0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 4>you know that they have only hung out like an

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:05.520
<v Speaker 4>on camera situations and that their dates were really sure

0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.600
<v Speaker 4>that it was probably fleeting feeling. Well, I mean, you

0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:13.040
<v Speaker 4>know it's it's oftentimes not fleeting feelings. But in my

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:17.040
<v Speaker 4>case with like crystals, it's like you're so in your

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:20.840
<v Speaker 4>head about how much you like them, and then you

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:22.840
<v Speaker 4>leave the show for a week and you're like, oh, okay,

0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:24.240
<v Speaker 4>so I was wrapped up in things.

0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 5>So a lot of there's a lot of that.

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.480
<v Speaker 4>And then before we move on from Alan's wedding, I

0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.440
<v Speaker 4>do want to say that, like, yeah, it's so exciting

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.240
<v Speaker 4>to see each other, but we often don't know who's

0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 4>going to attend these weddings because we don't ask ahead

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.000
<v Speaker 4>of time because it's like, you don't want to be offensive.

0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:44.640
<v Speaker 4>So Ben obviously bent with a lot. Having officiated our wedding,

0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 4>you could have assumed that, yes, we were gonna be there.

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.600
<v Speaker 4>It'd be weird that somebody officiates someone's wedding and they

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:51.640
<v Speaker 4>don't invite them to their own.

0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:55.720
<v Speaker 5>But like with you, was like do I ask him?

0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:56.800
<v Speaker 5>With the Raven, I was.

0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:58.560
<v Speaker 4>Like, do I ask her because there are all these

0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:02.840
<v Speaker 4>people like Joe, I wasn't one hundred percent I knew

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:06.040
<v Speaker 4>Nick because you know, I know that Nick and Alon've

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:10.159
<v Speaker 4>always been so close. But yeah, so the week of

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.159
<v Speaker 4>or you're either finding out who's definitely going to come,

0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:16.239
<v Speaker 4>or you don't find out until you're walking into the

0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:18.119
<v Speaker 4>you know venue, and you're like, oh my.

0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.000
<v Speaker 5>God, Yeah, I'm so glad you're here. I'm so glad

0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.959
<v Speaker 5>you're here. And then the moment's gone too fast, and

0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 5>then we wonder will we ever get these were unions again?

0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:27.560
<v Speaker 2>I hope so, I hope.

0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:31.480
<v Speaker 3>So they're They're meaningful to so many and I know

0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 3>they're you know, they're meaningful for you, and it's always

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.160
<v Speaker 3>something I look forward to. These are good people, well

0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:37.920
<v Speaker 3>speaking to good people. We do have headlines to get

0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 3>to today. The big headline of the week obviously was

0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.359
<v Speaker 3>that so much a Bachelor nation got together for this

0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:46.919
<v Speaker 3>incredible ceremony of for Alan and Molly. It was a

0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.360
<v Speaker 3>great night. But also we had a big announcement last

0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.920
<v Speaker 3>week where Jin and Joey are both appearing on Dancing

0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:57.400
<v Speaker 3>with the Stars. It's a full slate now of dancers

0:17:57.440 --> 0:17:59.800
<v Speaker 3>and celebrities who are going to be on this season,

0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:02.119
<v Speaker 3>actually tell me if I'm wrong, because I don't know,

0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:05.960
<v Speaker 3>and you are a historian of the Bachelor franchise. Has

0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.320
<v Speaker 3>two Bachelor contestants ever been on the same season.

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.200
<v Speaker 5>No, they have not been.

0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:16.879
<v Speaker 4>And we actually have stats about who is more likely

0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:21.879
<v Speaker 4>to be ahead in this competition, Joey or Jen, and

0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:28.080
<v Speaker 4>it's definitely Jen. So the women have one the show.

0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:33.040
<v Speaker 4>No male contestant from The Bachelor has one. Dancing with

0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:37.560
<v Speaker 4>the Stars, the current odds are that if we were

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:42.199
<v Speaker 4>to place bats that Jen will rank second for the

0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:47.879
<v Speaker 4>mirror Ball Trophy with nine to two odds. And then

0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:53.159
<v Speaker 4>the person who's most notable, who's who Vegas has winning,

0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:59.240
<v Speaker 4>is the gymnast, Stephen Natrowski. I don't know how to

0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:05.399
<v Speaker 4>say that the gymnast Stephen, and then Joey is in

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.119
<v Speaker 4>sixth place with the odds for this season nine to

0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:14.280
<v Speaker 4>one odds, but the averages that usually Bachelor Nation men

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:18.120
<v Speaker 4>are doomed to finish somewhere in the middle of the pack.

0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:22.520
<v Speaker 4>We're thinking Chrys sols Nick and Joe.

0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:27.359
<v Speaker 5>Grocer show Joe from the past couple of years.

0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Matt James is on it as well right, oh yeah.

0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:32.959
<v Speaker 5>And Matt he ended up in twelve place.

0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:37.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, so we're hoping for a good appearance out

0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 3>of them both.

0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:39.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to be surprised if Jim's really good

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:39.800
<v Speaker 2>at this.

0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:40.440
<v Speaker 4>Me too.

0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:42.320
<v Speaker 5>I see like she's going to be really good.

0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:43.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:45.240
<v Speaker 3>It almost seems unfair every time they have like a

0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:46.920
<v Speaker 3>gymnast on and like, of course they're going to be

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.280
<v Speaker 3>a good dancer. Yeah, they can hold themselves up by

0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:54.639
<v Speaker 3>their peinky toes. They can spin on their pinky toes too. Okay,

0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:57.159
<v Speaker 3>big headline here, Ashley, I want to hear how you

0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 3>feel about it. Maria from Joey's season of The Bachelor

0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:08.399
<v Speaker 3>confirm she's not going on Bachelor in Paradise. This is

0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:10.240
<v Speaker 3>shocking to me, Ashley, and.

0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:13.120
<v Speaker 4>I don't believe it, Okay, Okay, well sometime I don't

0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:14.960
<v Speaker 4>believe it. I think that like she's probably thinking, I

0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:16.920
<v Speaker 4>don't want to go on Bachelor in Paradise, Like I can't.

0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:19.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't like dealing with this drama because she got

0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:22.000
<v Speaker 4>sucked into the drama of this week after it was

0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:24.800
<v Speaker 4>said on after the final Rows that she followed Devon

0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:26.760
<v Speaker 4>and then like some people were speculating that she was

0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:31.240
<v Speaker 4>the reason that Jen and Devon split and that's obviously

0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:32.879
<v Speaker 4>not the case. But I think she just doesn't like

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:36.840
<v Speaker 4>getting caught up in this stuff. And she was controversial

0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:41.720
<v Speaker 4>during her season, but I think also beloved Money, yeah,

0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:44.359
<v Speaker 4>and mostly beloved, So.

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:44.959
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:49.280
<v Speaker 4>I think that Money can talk, and if she doesn't

0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:52.480
<v Speaker 4>you Paradise, then it's like she just seems to have

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:56.120
<v Speaker 4>the personality that is going to want to be on TV.

0:20:56.960 --> 0:20:57.679
<v Speaker 5>And if she.

0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.960
<v Speaker 4>Doesn't say it's to Paradise, she's kind of saying I

0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:04.080
<v Speaker 4>may never be on TV again. And because she was

0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 4>mostly beloved, I just feel like.

0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:08.919
<v Speaker 5>Why would she not. I don't know, I don't, I

0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:11.719
<v Speaker 5>don't know. And money and Money talks well.

0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:15.520
<v Speaker 3>But Paradise is also I think, such a good environment

0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:18.960
<v Speaker 3>for her. It feels like Paradise fits her where you

0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:22.560
<v Speaker 3>do get not that she needs a redemption story, but

0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:25.560
<v Speaker 3>like she you to know her better. You'll get to

0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:29.240
<v Speaker 3>see her date and who she's actually into and kind

0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:31.680
<v Speaker 3>of what she's all about. And I thought she would

0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:34.400
<v Speaker 3>be kind of a hot commodity on the beach this year.

0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:37.720
<v Speaker 4>Well, it seems like the guys are definitely interested because

0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:42.960
<v Speaker 4>not only follow but we heard about the sam sam

0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:44.679
<v Speaker 4>n sam.

0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:46.919
<v Speaker 2>M sam m. What did he do? I don't know

0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:47.640
<v Speaker 2>if I know this.

0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 4>He was the one who told Jen on that group

0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:52.560
<v Speaker 4>date that he was thinking that the bachelorette was.

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:54.760
<v Speaker 5>Gonna be Maria and that's like why he signed up.

0:21:55.440 --> 0:22:01.159
<v Speaker 3>Uh yeah, that's right, goodness, gracious, well, shocking news that

0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:03.960
<v Speaker 3>she's saying she's not going on the beach, like you said,

0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:05.280
<v Speaker 3>you'll believe it when you see it.

0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:10.000
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot of time before they start really casting

0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:13.560
<v Speaker 4>and filming, Like we're talking if we're on the regular schedule,

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:15.560
<v Speaker 4>if we're gonna get right back on the regular schedule

0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:20.840
<v Speaker 4>and film Paradise in June. Yeah, they have until she

0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:23.480
<v Speaker 4>has until May to think this, think about this, and

0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:26.320
<v Speaker 4>she also has until May to feel her fame died down.

0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:29.600
<v Speaker 4>And I'm not talking about her being a attention hood

0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:32.040
<v Speaker 4>like I would say the same thing about myself.

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Back in the day.

0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:34.440
<v Speaker 3>I know many people who come off the show and

0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:36.000
<v Speaker 3>they're like, no, I'm good with where I'm at, like

0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:38.080
<v Speaker 3>it feels like things are clicking, and then four months,

0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:40.679
<v Speaker 3>five months later they're like, like we talked about with

0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:42.760
<v Speaker 3>Devin last week, like all of a sudden This kind

0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:44.320
<v Speaker 3>of like you close your eyes and you open it

0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:46.960
<v Speaker 3>and nobody's calling you. You're not getting ay deals, you're

0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:49.359
<v Speaker 3>not getting the free dinners like you were, Hotels aren't

0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:51.000
<v Speaker 3>hitting you up to stay there for free and travel

0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:52.960
<v Speaker 3>for them, and you're like, wait, I need to go

0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:53.919
<v Speaker 3>back on Paradise.

0:22:54.160 --> 0:22:56.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean I think we've seen many. I mean look at.

0:22:56.600 --> 0:22:59.200
<v Speaker 3>Dean, like, I think I was one of Deans when

0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:02.280
<v Speaker 3>he met his now wife, was I just wanted I

0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:03.760
<v Speaker 3>need to get back out there again.

0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:05.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and he was like, oh, you know what, the

0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:06.800
<v Speaker 5>bank accounts a little low.

0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so he just did it.

0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:23.040
<v Speaker 4>We have another headline about Jess how did you say

0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:26.679
<v Speaker 4>You're gor Rid? And then Kylie Russell, two girls that

0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:31.040
<v Speaker 4>after coming off Paradise last season, they were like absolutely

0:23:31.200 --> 0:23:34.280
<v Speaker 4>not doing it again. They had like a party that

0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:37.560
<v Speaker 4>they were that their finale had aired. And now if

0:23:37.600 --> 0:23:40.120
<v Speaker 4>when you read this interview, they say that they're both

0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:41.879
<v Speaker 4>pretty much down to do Paradise again.

0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:45.520
<v Speaker 3>The headline is this Jess and Kylie reveal if they

0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:48.360
<v Speaker 3>would go on Paradise again and also who they'd want

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:50.879
<v Speaker 3>to see there. I always think that's a fun question

0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:54.080
<v Speaker 3>to ask, what kind of hints at who's been talking

0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:54.440
<v Speaker 3>to who.

0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:57.480
<v Speaker 4>They don't have any fun answer to that because they

0:23:57.520 --> 0:24:01.880
<v Speaker 4>say that because they went in to last season kind

0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 4>of having blinders on and being very focused on the

0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:10.679
<v Speaker 4>guys that they ended up with. You know, Kylie was

0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:14.640
<v Speaker 4>engaged to Avan that they both want to go into

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:17.720
<v Speaker 4>Paradise this time. If they are asked with a more

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:18.800
<v Speaker 4>open mind, I.

0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Think it would be a great decision.

0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:22.359
<v Speaker 3>I think Paradise sounds like so much fun if you

0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:24.720
<v Speaker 3>are single and you're coming off the show and you've

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:27.399
<v Speaker 3>given yourself a break from the cameras and you're living

0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:30.880
<v Speaker 3>your best life. I think Paradise is a great choice

0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:33.160
<v Speaker 3>for so many to go back on again, and even

0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:37.359
<v Speaker 3>those who had a rough go on the show. I

0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:40.240
<v Speaker 3>think in the samms, even like the people that really

0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:43.600
<v Speaker 3>like didn't have a great time on the big show,

0:24:44.359 --> 0:24:46.720
<v Speaker 3>typically they go on Paradise and there is a redemption

0:24:46.880 --> 0:24:49.240
<v Speaker 3>story for them, and that's always something that we like

0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:54.040
<v Speaker 3>to watch here, something to celebrate here. And oftentimes those

0:24:54.080 --> 0:24:56.159
<v Speaker 3>people who have the redemption story, you end up finding

0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:59.440
<v Speaker 3>somebody really great on during their time on the beach.

0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:02.440
<v Speaker 3>Now actually kind of close out this headlines, I don't

0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:04.800
<v Speaker 3>know if you know or not. No, I'm more curious myself.

0:25:05.800 --> 0:25:08.480
<v Speaker 3>Do you know where they're deciding to film Paradise, because

0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:10.720
<v Speaker 3>obviously it's not going to be at the same mansion of.

0:25:10.640 --> 0:25:14.040
<v Speaker 5>The I don't know, so hopefully we'll find that soon.

0:25:14.440 --> 0:25:16.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure you could start to text and find out

0:25:16.840 --> 0:25:19.119
<v Speaker 3>so that we can start getting people excited now. Actually,

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:23.320
<v Speaker 3>final little segment of this show. Obviously we talked about

0:25:23.320 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 3>the Golden Bachelorette. It's airing September eighteenth. The guys I

0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:31.120
<v Speaker 3>continue to see on commercials. I continue to see their

0:25:31.160 --> 0:25:34.320
<v Speaker 3>bios come out. We continue to learn more about who

0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:37.520
<v Speaker 3>they are as people we see little clips of the show.

0:25:37.640 --> 0:25:42.800
<v Speaker 3>In general, I think this cast of men will make

0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:47.840
<v Speaker 3>GEN seasons cast of men look terrible, because not that

0:25:47.840 --> 0:25:52.200
<v Speaker 3>they need any help with that, but these dudes I

0:25:52.280 --> 0:25:56.040
<v Speaker 3>think are really well prepared for this experience. I was

0:25:56.160 --> 0:25:59.280
<v Speaker 3>nervous about the casting for The Golden Bachelorette, but it

0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:01.840
<v Speaker 3>feels like the department spent.

0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:03.800
<v Speaker 2>A little more time on.

0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:06.640
<v Speaker 3>These guys than they did for GEN season. I could

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:09.679
<v Speaker 3>now be more excited to see Jones's journey unfold on

0:26:09.800 --> 0:26:13.959
<v Speaker 3>national television. I'll stop there because I have some closing thoughts.

0:26:14.240 --> 0:26:17.960
<v Speaker 4>Okay, well, so our friend Lindsay Lyles, who is also

0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:22.920
<v Speaker 4>a Bachelor producer, she got an Emmy nomination, didn't win,

0:26:23.080 --> 0:26:26.520
<v Speaker 4>but Emmy nomination for her casting of The Golden Bachelor.

0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:29.120
<v Speaker 5>So that was like the first.

0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:32.399
<v Speaker 4>Time that the show has gotten a nomination in that area,

0:26:32.560 --> 0:26:34.960
<v Speaker 4>or at least it has for a very long time.

0:26:35.560 --> 0:26:38.199
<v Speaker 4>So yes, maybe they are putting a little bit more

0:26:38.200 --> 0:26:41.440
<v Speaker 4>effort into the casting of Golden Hopefully this one will

0:26:41.440 --> 0:26:44.159
<v Speaker 4>be just as good. But I have to say the

0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:48.040
<v Speaker 4>casting for of Kelsey's dad, which I know I bring

0:26:48.119 --> 0:26:50.959
<v Speaker 4>up Kelsey's dad Mark a lot, but the way that

0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:55.119
<v Speaker 4>he was smiling in the audience of the finale last week,

0:26:55.720 --> 0:26:58.040
<v Speaker 4>and the way that Joan was smiling when they were

0:26:58.080 --> 0:27:05.720
<v Speaker 4>talking about him, maybe the best cast was the easiest cast. Yeah,

0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:08.720
<v Speaker 4>I think that they might be.

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:12.320
<v Speaker 2>That'd be awesome, that would be so amazing.

0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:15.400
<v Speaker 3>I think the show is hitting a good stride when

0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:17.160
<v Speaker 3>it comes to the Golden Show.

0:27:17.720 --> 0:27:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:20.240
<v Speaker 3>My honest opinion is this, I had a lot of

0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:23.199
<v Speaker 3>high hopes. Obviously, it was a different time when The

0:27:23.200 --> 0:27:25.399
<v Speaker 3>Golden Bachelor was coming out, because I was like, I

0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:26.879
<v Speaker 3>want to be a part of it. I still do

0:27:27.160 --> 0:27:30.760
<v Speaker 3>love to be, but I've pretty much came to terms

0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:32.359
<v Speaker 3>that I will have no part of it ever, and

0:27:32.400 --> 0:27:34.840
<v Speaker 3>that's okay. I'll just talk about it on this show.

0:27:35.240 --> 0:27:36.760
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to be a big fan of the show.

0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:40.440
<v Speaker 3>I really loved watching The Golden Bachelor. I did think

0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:45.560
<v Speaker 3>the ending, especially of the show.

0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Kind of threw me off. It made me lose.

0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:51.960
<v Speaker 3>Trust in this Golden show. It made me confused at

0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:55.439
<v Speaker 3>the Golden Show. It made it almost feel like to me,

0:27:56.280 --> 0:27:58.439
<v Speaker 3>they were putting so much of their eggs in this

0:27:58.480 --> 0:28:00.960
<v Speaker 3>golden basket and it was such a success that the

0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:03.440
<v Speaker 3>show would find a way to ruin itself very quickly.

0:28:03.600 --> 0:28:06.040
<v Speaker 2>And I think they were close.

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:11.000
<v Speaker 3>However, I want to and I'm asking all the almost

0:28:11.000 --> 0:28:15.320
<v Speaker 3>famous listeners too, to start over, because I think they

0:28:15.359 --> 0:28:17.679
<v Speaker 3>were getting their feet underneath them for the Golden Bachelor.

0:28:17.720 --> 0:28:19.240
<v Speaker 3>I think they were trying to understand how it would

0:28:19.240 --> 0:28:22.080
<v Speaker 3>look and how it would operate. I don't think it

0:28:22.119 --> 0:28:26.200
<v Speaker 3>was probably done perfectly, and I do think they're prepared

0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:30.480
<v Speaker 3>better for the Golden Bachelorette show, and I am excited

0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:33.280
<v Speaker 3>to watch it. I am just as excited to watch

0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:37.040
<v Speaker 3>Joan's journey because I think Joan is fantastic. I think

0:28:37.040 --> 0:28:40.000
<v Speaker 3>she is an incredible choice for the Golden Bachelorette. I've

0:28:40.080 --> 0:28:43.120
<v Speaker 3>gotten to know Joan, I've gotten a message with Joan.

0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:46.800
<v Speaker 3>She is sweet, she's encouraging, she is supportive, she's obviously

0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:51.560
<v Speaker 3>a family person. She's beautiful, and she's wonderful. And I

0:28:51.800 --> 0:28:56.400
<v Speaker 3>have high hopes that Joan is going to be kind

0:28:56.440 --> 0:29:00.960
<v Speaker 3>of the foundational piece to wear this Golden Show goes

0:29:01.000 --> 0:29:03.600
<v Speaker 3>from here on out. Not that Gary wasn't. I'm not

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:07.080
<v Speaker 3>saying Gary wasn't, but I do think Gary's story now

0:29:07.840 --> 0:29:11.440
<v Speaker 3>is a little bit banished, tarnished based on all the

0:29:11.640 --> 0:29:15.240
<v Speaker 3>stuff that happened. Yeah, and I think Joan is a fresh, new,

0:29:15.280 --> 0:29:16.440
<v Speaker 3>good start for the show.

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:17.920
<v Speaker 5>Okay, I totally agree.

0:29:17.960 --> 0:29:19.720
<v Speaker 4>There's like nothing about Joan that we know so far

0:29:19.800 --> 0:29:21.959
<v Speaker 4>that makes her at all unlikable.

0:29:22.160 --> 0:29:23.960
<v Speaker 2>She's just goodness, gracious nod.

0:29:24.120 --> 0:29:27.320
<v Speaker 5>She just seems like goodness. So I'm excited to see her.

0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:29.800
<v Speaker 2>She's going to be a star. She should be a star.

0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:30.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:29:30.480 --> 0:29:33.920
<v Speaker 4>And guys, if you if you think that Ben's his

0:29:34.320 --> 0:29:38.160
<v Speaker 4>predictions about the guys are good, you know, his off

0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:42.120
<v Speaker 4>the cuff comments about judging them based on just their pictures.

0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:45.240
<v Speaker 5>If you think that's good. You know Jared Freed has

0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:48.880
<v Speaker 5>you be you know Jared Freed, Yeah, the comedian, comedian.

0:29:49.120 --> 0:29:53.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he did this on his Instagram today. I think

0:29:54.560 --> 0:29:58.720
<v Speaker 4>this is his Yeah, his first impressions of these guys

0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:00.880
<v Speaker 4>absolutely hilarious.

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:02.280
<v Speaker 5>You've got to go check it out.

0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Does he find them as attractive, like in good looking

0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:07.840
<v Speaker 2>as I did? Yeah? Yeah, they're like studs.

0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:11.240
<v Speaker 3>Like all these guys for some reason, took model pictures

0:30:11.280 --> 0:30:14.280
<v Speaker 3>where when they do the Bachelorette show, all the guys

0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:17.120
<v Speaker 3>look like they're telling taking their sixth grade elementary school

0:30:17.200 --> 0:30:20.880
<v Speaker 3>like picks. And it's ridiculous that they like they did

0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:22.840
<v Speaker 3>up these guys put them in the leather jackets. There's

0:30:22.840 --> 0:30:25.240
<v Speaker 3>no way that many loather jackets are owned by this

0:30:25.360 --> 0:30:25.880
<v Speaker 3>many men.

0:30:27.320 --> 0:30:28.960
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, go listen to Jared.

0:30:29.040 --> 0:30:33.560
<v Speaker 4>But it's just absolutely ridiculous how they made these men

0:30:34.400 --> 0:30:37.560
<v Speaker 4>the photo shoots, like the fashion and the background is

0:30:37.600 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 4>just so.

0:30:37.840 --> 0:30:40.720
<v Speaker 5>Much better than the big Ass and the regular Bachelorette.

0:30:40.760 --> 0:30:43.040
<v Speaker 3>It's a little offensive, quite honestly, I don't know where

0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:45.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm treating these elderly people so kindly.

0:30:47.960 --> 0:30:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Anyways, we're pumped for it. It's going to be a great.

0:30:50.000 --> 0:30:52.600
<v Speaker 3>Season and make sure you tune in as we get

0:30:52.600 --> 0:30:56.400

<v Speaker 3>next time, where we talk more kind of off season

0:31:05.160 --> 0:31:08.160
