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.

0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Hey guys, welcome back to the Almost Famous podcast. It

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 2>is Ashley and today I am joined by Jared.

0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Hi.

0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:16.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh, are you so excited to be here?

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:18.200
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm very excited to be here. But it's just

0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:20.920
<v Speaker 3>like my overall nature. I know, I'll talk about things

0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:21.320
<v Speaker 3>here we go.

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Actually, let's start with that. Do you know how I

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 2>get comments on Instagram being like Jared doesn't look very well,

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm I'm happy, but I just have a I'm

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 2>very people hold on, sorry, people would say that about

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 2>my entire life, so you know what I mean.

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:40.160
<v Speaker 3>When I was on people would always say that's true.

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.879
<v Speaker 2>Like even on Bachelor, you were always like having that

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.200
<v Speaker 2>look off. Yeah, you were just looking stressed.

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm just very Henry cavill and Man of Steel, Like,

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's very neutral.

0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:54.560
<v Speaker 2>So guys, if you see Jared on Instagram and he

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:56.279
<v Speaker 2>doesn't look like thrilled to be on my can't run,

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 2>don't worry. That's just his arresting Jared face.

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 3>Also, I feel like the majority of the pop relation

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 3>to the human races like this, it's probably you know,

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.840
<v Speaker 3>It's like I get it. You're very you're authentic, and

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 3>you're like very smiley, happy, go lucky type of personality.

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 3>But I'm sure a lot of people just fake it

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 3>on podcast. At least I'm not faking it.

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 2>It's true. Okay, So, hi, Jared's here. We were thinking

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 2>that we would talk about some stuff that you know,

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.039
<v Speaker 2>we have going on, and then we also are going

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 2>to talk Bachelor headlines and a little bit of Jared's

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 2>opinion on the new style of Bachelor and Paradise. He's

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.399
<v Speaker 2>really thrilled by it, actually, baby, I wish you had seen.

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 2>So he doesn't follow follow listen. Jared only watches one

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.039
<v Speaker 2>show and that is Seinfeld. So and you guys, you

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:43.120
<v Speaker 2>don't even understand. He watches NERD movie Reviewers on YouTube,

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.399
<v Speaker 2>many hours of that and Seinfeld and that is it.

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 2>I could never get him to watch five hours of

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Paradise every week. So but he watches in the background

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 2>like as I'll have it on. And Jared's really good

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 2>at watching things in the background. He picks up on

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 2>stuff because you know, he is a movie analyst, so

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>like anything that has to do with the screen he

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 2>has an opinion on, even if it doesn't watch it

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 2>like too intently, So I guess, like, let's start there.

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 2>When you were watching in bed the other night with me,

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 2>like you were taken aback by the stylized at it.

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 3>I think my overall perspective on Paradise is that it's

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 3>not it's not it's not Paradise anymore. It's not the

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 3>same show, and that's done intentionally, and maybe that is

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 3>for the best.

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't why would it be for the best. Most

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.400
<v Speaker 2>of the audience does not like this, according to polls

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.959
<v Speaker 2>that we've conducted that other fan accounts haven't conducted, and

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:45.239
<v Speaker 2>Tanner Delbert.

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:50.359
<v Speaker 3>I saw Tanner's pose because I also don't watch Love Island.

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.080
<v Speaker 3>I also don't watch a lot of these new dating

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 3>shows that are crushing it. So perhaps Paradise and the

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:59.639
<v Speaker 3>Bachelor franchise does need to really change things up to

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.079
<v Speaker 3>try to move into this new wave and be more

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 3>like these other dating shows. I don't know. All I

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 3>can tell you is when I was watching Paradise with

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 3>you the other night, it's very clearly not the same show,

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 3>and it's done very intentionally that way. In terms of

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 3>the way the cast is talking to the camera now

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 3>straight on, it's much more it feels like they're trying

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.920
<v Speaker 3>to make it much cooler now with everybody, you know.

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:30.959
<v Speaker 2>Everybody's supposed to be so sexy, there's nothing clumsy about them.

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 2>With the music Jill Jill brings a lot of realness

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 2>to it.

0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 3>I miss just in terms of the the visuals, the

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 3>slow motion, the camera work, the music. The show is

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 3>not I hate saying this, the show is not very funny.

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 2>No, actually, this is what I wish you saw. I

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 2>was episode three because this is when the Goldens came in,

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 2>and you and I were both not super keen on

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 2>the Goldens coming in. They brought the old school Bachelor

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 2>in Paradise humor and a big It was just so

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 2>much more of a lighthearted episode. I told Ben, I

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 2>was like, I don't know if like they slowed it

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 2>down intentionally the edit or it just felt slower with

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 2>the older people there, But it definitely Episode three felt

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 2>more familiar to me.

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think listen, as cast members of Paradise, we're

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 3>all very lucky to be there, and as much like

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 3>insecurities as I have, as everybody else does have, Like

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 3>in terms of the general landscape of the world, we

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 3>should be made fun of, you know, we've had. We

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 3>had this opportunity to go on this beach and to

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 3>date other people, and like nobody gets to do this.

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 3>My point in saying that is like the show should

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.679
<v Speaker 3>make fun of us, Like they should show Ashley talking

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 3>to a crab or whatever you were talking to.

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.919
<v Speaker 2>Like, oh raccoon. Oh no, I had the parrot, Claire

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 2>had the recoon.

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 3>That's right, and then like or like making me look

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 3>stupid because I say something dumb or things of that nature,

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:04.640
<v Speaker 3>because it's funny, because we should be made fun of,

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 3>because it's all in lightheartedness, because at the end of

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 3>the day, we're so lucky, and I think a lot

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.280
<v Speaker 3>of the cast members know that, so I guess we'll

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.279
<v Speaker 3>watching it. They just try to make everybody look so cool,

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, I get it, They're already cool,

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 3>Like I don't need you to try to emphasize that

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:19.600
<v Speaker 3>they're cooler than they.

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Already aready like in the ninety nine percentile of attractiveness.

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 3>That's what I mean. Like I kind of missed the

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 3>days even when we were on the show and the

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 3>show was making fun of us, it was I liked

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.600
<v Speaker 3>it because it's just kind of like brings everybody back

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.160
<v Speaker 3>down to earth a little bit, and it's it's just

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 3>funny and self deprecating, and there was a style to

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 3>Old Paradise. Now, granted, perhaps there needs to be a change.

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 3>Maybe this show is not made for us, and that's

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.839
<v Speaker 3>totally fine. It's really whatever's best for Paradise. And so

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 3>my opinion is just that it's my opinion. It doesn't

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 3>mean that it's the best or worst thing for the

0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:54.679
<v Speaker 3>future of the franchise.

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So I want to just fill you in on

0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 2>what happened that you didn't see, which is when I

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 2>started to be able to ignore the style and focus

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 2>on the content. Was when Susie and Justin. You know,

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 2>I've rooted on for Susy and Justin. They've had a

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 2>very similar storyline to you and me. They'd be started

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 2>out as friends, two wonderful people, and we both liked

0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:23.360
<v Speaker 2>them very much, and then they came to Paradise as

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 2>a broken up couple. There was a lot of feelings

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.480
<v Speaker 2>there and there was like a lot of love still

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.600
<v Speaker 2>there and it was fun to watch. Now what happened

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 2>was I just I don't know, do you know what happened? Okay,

0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 2>So it's really making the internet buzz right now because

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 2>Lexi was like kind of like she'd gone on a

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 2>date with Justin. They definitely had shown interesting each other.

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.159
<v Speaker 2>They barely made it. I don't even know that they

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 2>made out. Remember that scene that you saw where they

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 2>were making out, because there was that game that made

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 2>them make out. That was like their only kiss. So

0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.720
<v Speaker 2>that shows you how serious they actually were. Not very

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion, not very. She had a lot of

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 2>reservations about him because she thought he was too fresh

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 2>out of a relationship to be there. So what happens

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 2>is he feels so bad about Susie not getting picked,

0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 2>like Susie didn't get a rose that week, that he

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.280
<v Speaker 2>ends up, of course having the last rose to give out,

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 2>and he gives the rose to Susie so she can

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.880
<v Speaker 2>continue there and he lives and she you know, he

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 2>had the rose, and then Lexi had to go home,

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 2>except for he was like, I'm going to give this to,

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, Susie, and then I'm going to excuse myself.

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 3>That's yeah exactly.

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 2>He leaves. Yeah, people are angry. Lots of people are angry

0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:45.880
<v Speaker 2>at him for doing this, thinking that he led Lexi on.

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, I think it was clear that

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Lexi didn't want to be with him.

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 3>Dude. I saw one scene with kissing booth and she

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 3>said you didn't want to kiss.

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Her and she was like, this is so awkward, so

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:55.600
<v Speaker 2>not me.

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, very clear that Lexi was not into Justin yah,

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 3>which again totally fine. Don't give Justin.

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 2>She's given him so much crap online, like.

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 3>I could, I'm team Justin, I know.

0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 2>I was like, maybe it's just because like I know

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 2>him more, I know him personally.

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 3>Also, it's what's wrong with that move? There's nothing I

0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 3>don't think because maybe if Lexi was into.

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Justin, then he would have probably given it to her.

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 3>Or why can't they just try to develop something off

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.600
<v Speaker 3>the show? Did he maybe talk to her about that, saying, hey, listen,

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm leaving as well. You know, I'd love to like

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 3>see if this could happen away from Paradise.

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Do you think that that was so you in this

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.719
<v Speaker 2>situation that we can bring this back to Arcie's in

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.840
<v Speaker 2>a Paradise you were in not really a similar predicament.

0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't call that you were in a predicament at all.

0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:53.280
<v Speaker 2>You were like, get the fuck out of here. Actually

0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 2>this is like, that's how I felt because I come in,

0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 2>you don't give me that rose though, way yeah right, okay,

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.319
<v Speaker 2>I know it's some sort of it's very similar. It's similar.

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm leading somewhere. Okay, so when I come in and

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Bachelor of Paradise three, I don't get a rose that

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 2>first rose ceremony, and because you chose to give your

0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 2>rose to Kayla, it's okay, we don't have to talk

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 2>about that. What happens is it was kind of a

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:25.320
<v Speaker 2>produced moment in which I was allowed to go down

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 2>there and be like, hey, I uh, I really like,

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. Basically it is exactly

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:40.080
<v Speaker 2>an it, and I was like, can you guys please

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:44.440
<v Speaker 2>like forgive me for being a hooligan. Well also like

0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 2>they had no options for me. They had like literally

0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:48.640
<v Speaker 2>one single guy and that was what's the same from Canada,

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Daniel Daniel. Yeah, And then everybody was like, yeah, sure,

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:55.440
<v Speaker 2>that's fine. So basically Bette and I were being hypocrites

0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 2>yesterday because we're always like, oh, we don't want to

0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 2>see like produced moves, we don't want to see production

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:05.520
<v Speaker 2>and you know, fingerprints. But then when justin and Susie

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 2>both get eliminated within and Susie's only on one episode.

0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Susie Evans, the winner of Clayton season only gets one

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:18.559
<v Speaker 2>episode fan favorite. We were like, uh, we would like

0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 2>some production here. Can she please stay? How can we

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 2>get her to stay? I thought she was saying, oh,

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, I didn't clarify this too. She she said,

0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 2>I can't accept.

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 3>This, so she leaves, and she left. Dude. That's when, yeah,

0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 3>producers to be like, yo, you're going to accept it. Relax,

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 3>you're staying. Sus I'm thinking that they did it. She

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:41.160
<v Speaker 3>seemed shocked when he offered her that rose. I think

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 3>she wasn't prepared and that was just herse She wasn't prepared.

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 3>But I bet no producer that now gonna think that

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 3>she Yeah, she would be, she'd say no, especially after

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 3>Justin said, hey, I'm going to leave. Why would she

0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 3>leave too? Justin's gone.

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, the thing is, Justin didn't at the podium say

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 2>that he was going to leave. It was when she

0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:07.960
<v Speaker 2>rejected the rose that he said I'm going to leave.

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Because he had a milk down with Jesse in the room.

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.559
<v Speaker 2>So you're saying that's his biggest flaw.

0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 3>Well, this is it's kind of all stupid. Not the

0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 3>people involved obviously understand that there's a lot of motions,

0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.520
<v Speaker 3>so they're going to make brass decisions.

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:26.720
<v Speaker 2>The problem is Justin was like, I'm going to eliminate you, Lexi,

0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:28.959
<v Speaker 2>but I'm going to continue to stay here while giving

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:29.960
<v Speaker 2>a rose to my exe.

0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:35.560
<v Speaker 3>I understand with one with one rose, with one rose

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:40.559
<v Speaker 3>not given out Lexi, Justin and Susie all we're allowed

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 3>to go home? Yes, okay, so that seems a bit

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.200
<v Speaker 3>It's like, we don't want producers involved unless it's like

0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.959
<v Speaker 3>extenuating circumstances, and this feels like an extenuating circumstance. Not

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:51.840
<v Speaker 3>all three of you guys can go home. We need,

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.079
<v Speaker 3>you know, either Susie or Justin to stay one of.

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 2>You two one of the two of them for sure. Now,

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.560
<v Speaker 2>how much do we want to see the two of

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:04.680
<v Speaker 2>them interact more? Because their conversations in the episode were

0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:07.640
<v Speaker 2>the ones that we were so drawn into. Of course,

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:09.680
<v Speaker 2>there's so much history they actually did, and Joe and

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Kendall were there, and you and I loved watching Joe.

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 3>And Kendall there. Who didn't That's I mean, we watched

0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.680
<v Speaker 3>the show for very real moments like that, and it

0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 3>doesn't get more real than that. Yeah, you know, the

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:22.400
<v Speaker 3>idea that Justin Susie were back together in Paradise after

0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.439
<v Speaker 3>a lot of history together being best friends and then

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 3>dating and then breaking up and then, you know, because

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 3>as we both know, experiencing breakups, like when you break

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:32.600
<v Speaker 3>up with somebody, you're not just breaking up with them,

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 3>but you're breaking up with everybody that you know, you

0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 3>became friends with. It's it's an awkward situation. So the

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.200
<v Speaker 3>idea of reuniting those two after so much history on

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 3>the beach is very compelling. But I understand why one

0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:45.920
<v Speaker 3>of them would have to go home. I think it

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:49.079
<v Speaker 3>was the healthiest thing for both of them. One of

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.319
<v Speaker 3>them goes home, and I think that one would have

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:56.240
<v Speaker 3>been Justin. Yeah, so I'm shocked that Susie is gone.

0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, so, I mean, it's kind of funny. This podcast

0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 2>isn't meant to recap for somebody who hasn't seen it.

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 2>But what's really interesting is I thought, oh, here comes

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:10.240
<v Speaker 2>the production move because Jeremy went on a date with Susie,

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.120
<v Speaker 2>but he ended up giving his rose to Bailey a

0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:17.360
<v Speaker 2>day later. Bailey says yes to a date with Andrew Spencer,

0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:22.480
<v Speaker 2>and you love Andrew Andrew and now when he when

0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:27.440
<v Speaker 2>she does this, Jeremy calls. He calls Susie in the

0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:30.600
<v Speaker 2>interview room and says, hey, I made a mistake. I

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.480
<v Speaker 2>want you to come back. And I was like, oh,

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.240
<v Speaker 2>this is the way in, this is the way to

0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:37.840
<v Speaker 2>get Susie back, in to which she said, I'm at

0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:39.640
<v Speaker 2>the airport. I don't I don't think it's good for

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:40.360
<v Speaker 2>me to come back.

0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, I understand why Susie wouldn't come back. Yeah, why

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 3>can't Andrew be the bachelor?

0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:49.960
<v Speaker 2>He could be? Put it out there, yeah, and this

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 2>so wonderful.

0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 3>It's like Dale is fine.

0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.959
<v Speaker 2>You know who would make you happy to watch every week?

0:13:57.160 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Andrew with his jolly smile. It's adorable.

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.600
<v Speaker 3>He's just so endearing, so sweet. Yeah, why can't Andrew

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:04.199
<v Speaker 3>be the bachelor?

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.160
<v Speaker 2>You keep putting it out there. I think Dale doesn't

0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 2>seem like an option at all. All Dale has to me,

0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.680
<v Speaker 2>it's a really pretty face. And he still to me

0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 2>comes across as like am I wrong? And say, I

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.640
<v Speaker 2>don't think he's a villain, but I think he's regarded

0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 2>as a bachelor villain. Yeah right, I mean I don't

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.320
<v Speaker 2>think he's a villain this person. I just think that

0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.520
<v Speaker 2>he's not regarded as like somebody that like people would

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:32.400
<v Speaker 2>necessarily like.

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.320
<v Speaker 3>I think he's just very straight laced, which is not

0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:35.400
<v Speaker 3>a batchel lace.

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 2>No, I think I think about him.

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 3>I've been watching I'm just seeing like.

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 2>No, Jared, I'm just thinking about his history with Claire,

0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Like I just feel like.

0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:44.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and he's like what is he he's a model

0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:45.600
<v Speaker 3>now model.

0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:46.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what he does.

0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:50.480
<v Speaker 3>I see him sometimes I'll like be perusing Amazon for

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:54.920
<v Speaker 3>like sports, and I'm like, is that Dale modeling this

0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 3>shirt on Amazon?

0:14:56.080 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Right now? It's not me having a It's just like

0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.760
<v Speaker 2>I felt that Claire was played, I guess, And I'm

0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 2>always going to be a defender of Claire. Yeah, because

0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.480
<v Speaker 2>he proposed her, right, Jared, they were together and they

0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:10.200
<v Speaker 2>were talking bait.

0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:12.360
<v Speaker 3>No, I remember that. But they didn't leave boyfriend girlfriend,

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:15.600
<v Speaker 3>they left engage. H Yeah, there's no shot Dale knew.

0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.800
<v Speaker 3>There's no shot that Dale proposed that moment thinking like, oh,

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:22.920
<v Speaker 3>this is my wife. Okay, so that doesn't Claire is

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 3>the best, you know what I mean? So I agree.

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm team Claire on that one, because it's like, bro,

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 3>you knew, like there's no shot, no shot. Sorry, I

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:30.480
<v Speaker 3>don't believe you.

0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 2>So that's why I feel like Dale couldn't be Bachelor

0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:40.320
<v Speaker 2>because there's just too much suspicion about there, you know,

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:41.840
<v Speaker 2>just too much suspicion around him.

0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.520
<v Speaker 3>For me, well, it's for honestly, it's also whoever's gonna

0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.480
<v Speaker 3>make the best TV? I mean, at the end of

0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:48.680
<v Speaker 3>the day, of course, you want this to work. We

0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.680
<v Speaker 3>all want this to work. But like you know, the

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:55.040
<v Speaker 3>most important thing is an entertaining product for the show,

0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.480
<v Speaker 3>for your guy, for you guys, for everybody.

0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:01.160
<v Speaker 2>So are we saying in this conversation that sometimes we

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 2>feel like production does need to make moves to make

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:04.400
<v Speaker 2>great TV?

0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:08.440
<v Speaker 3>Of course, I mean, who's naive enough to think that,

0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:14.600
<v Speaker 3>like there'd be very little drama because it's one thing.

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 3>Here's the thing, and it's it's natural. It's very natural

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.440
<v Speaker 3>for human beings when faced with conflict, to try to

0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.080
<v Speaker 3>avoid it, just avoid it. Yeah, exactly, like we would

0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 3>walk away from scenarios if we face with that right now.

0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.800
<v Speaker 3>But it's like, so if what we want to see

0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:34.920
<v Speaker 3>just people walk away from each other and then like

0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:38.320
<v Speaker 3>cooler heads prevail later on. I mean that doesn't sound

0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 3>very entertaining or do you want them? It's not like

0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.040
<v Speaker 3>producers like tell people to say, but it's like, if

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:48.880
<v Speaker 3>you're forced to face that conflict, that is compelling stuff. Yeah,

0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.760
<v Speaker 3>and if you're not forced to face it, then I mean,

0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 3>what do we watching.

0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:55.680
<v Speaker 2>The way that I always describe Bachelor, especially Bachelor in Paradise,

0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.200
<v Speaker 2>is that it's very much hunger games. Ask like you

0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.400
<v Speaker 2>are you have your free will in the arena, but

0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.040
<v Speaker 2>like there are people on the outside of the arena like.

0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're sending jaguars exactly, sending.

0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Things in Yeah, okay, well you know what, You're gonna

0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 2>be so jealous of that. I just want to like

0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:17.679
<v Speaker 2>touch on you. They had this big ad integration for

0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:19.080
<v Speaker 2>I know what you did last summer?

0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.080
<v Speaker 3>I saw that do it and jessin Palmer do something together.

0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, this is like was like integrated into Paradise.

0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:25.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's cool.

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know, like in the mirror. And then like

0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:30.239
<v Speaker 2>he went up to Welles and he was like, what

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.560
<v Speaker 2>did I do last summer? And then like he was

0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:33.600
<v Speaker 2>like we weren't here.

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.199
<v Speaker 3>Did somebody say, what are you waiting?

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.680
<v Speaker 2>For No, I have to watch the original again before.

0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:41.040
<v Speaker 2>I haven't. I've only seen it once and it was

0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 2>your nineties Ryan Philippi face yeah, great face, great face,

0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:49.800
<v Speaker 2>great face, great face, and great face.

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:51.720
<v Speaker 3>Philipp is the man I know he did last summer

0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.720
<v Speaker 3>cruel intentions. I wanted to name one of our sons Sebastian,

0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:55.080
<v Speaker 3>I know.

0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:56.600
<v Speaker 2>And I hate the name of Sebastian.

0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:57.680
<v Speaker 3>Love the name Sebastian.

0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:00.920
<v Speaker 2>You only love it the because of his role.

0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:05.159
<v Speaker 3>Why do you love Dawson? No, I love the.

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:06.280
<v Speaker 2>Sound of Dawson.

0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:07.639
<v Speaker 3>I love the sound of Sebastian.

0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you do. I know only the sound of Sebastian.

0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:11.320
<v Speaker 2>I think of the crab. That's like, you wouldn't let

0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.080
<v Speaker 2>me name it. Well you didn't. You thought Dominic the donkey,

0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:17.080
<v Speaker 2>and I think a Sebash and the crab. Okay, So

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:21.639
<v Speaker 2>did you hear about the money being involved. Yeah, we

0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:24.560
<v Speaker 2>don't really know the money thing yet. There was teas

0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.360
<v Speaker 2>at the end of episode one, but it hasn't been

0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:31.800
<v Speaker 2>directly brought up again yet. So my thoughts is that

0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:35.400
<v Speaker 2>it won't be brought up again until the end when

0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.160
<v Speaker 2>it's time, you know, how like the week where it's

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:40.919
<v Speaker 2>like you either break up or you get engaged. I

0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:43.800
<v Speaker 2>think now it's going to be you either break up,

0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:46.959
<v Speaker 2>get engaged, or get half a million dollars. And we

0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.520
<v Speaker 2>were joking and this is maybe like forget half million

0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:53.399
<v Speaker 2>dollars if you break up. Yeah, I think that you

0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:57.840
<v Speaker 2>have to. Yeah, I think you money. That's just with

0:18:57.880 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 2>the speculation, Jared. It's the speculation.

0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:02.800
<v Speaker 3>Use money every day and then you leave and then

0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:06.200
<v Speaker 3>you get to the person like, hey, let's go out

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:08.879
<v Speaker 3>to a really nice dinner, dude.

0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:11.680
<v Speaker 2>That's what I said. That's why this isn't even gonna

0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 2>make any sense. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. So

0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:15.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe it won't turn out to be that way.

0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:19.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, I just I don't like. My gut

0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:21.800
<v Speaker 3>reaction is I don't like the introduction of any type

0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:23.720
<v Speaker 3>of financial prize in this show.

0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:27.480
<v Speaker 2>It could be a big tease. There's so many false cheeses.

0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 2>There was like in my season of Bachelor, there was

0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.000
<v Speaker 2>a pregnancy test that was in the cheezer that never

0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:34.600
<v Speaker 2>got address.

0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:37.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but that's different than alluding to some sort of

0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.600
<v Speaker 3>cash prize at the end of this. Yeah, it would

0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:44.480
<v Speaker 3>be weird if they introduce that and never do anything

0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:50.080
<v Speaker 3>with it. I'd be it would be weird. So I'm

0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:52.399
<v Speaker 3>assuming money plays a role at some point. Maybe it

0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:55.600
<v Speaker 3>has something to do with the Goldens, not the we

0:19:56.000 --> 0:20:00.760
<v Speaker 3>that could be, not the younger cast, but that would

0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:03.160
<v Speaker 3>make more Yeah, give them the money. Yeah that kind

0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:05.000
<v Speaker 3>of I like that. Give them the money.

0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Hmm. All right, they passed.

0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:08.280
<v Speaker 3>Down to the grand kids.

0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:21.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, sounds good. All right, well let's get into Bachelor

0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Nation headlines. Sam McKinley and Allie Joe, who we both

0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:30.879
<v Speaker 2>have seen already get eliminated from Bachelor in Paradise this season,

0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 2>are sparking romance rumors. During the time on the show,

0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Sam went on a date with Jess we know it

0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:41.920
<v Speaker 2>didn't work out, and Ali was like kind of talking

0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:45.920
<v Speaker 2>to dyl and Jonathan and both Sam and Ali both

0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:50.440
<v Speaker 2>went home. But this week Sam posted a story where

0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:53.240
<v Speaker 2>you can see a woman's hand holding up a drink

0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:58.200
<v Speaker 2>and showing off her bright red manicure. That manicure matches

0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Allie Joe's and her instagram's story, in which she captioned

0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:06.760
<v Speaker 2>keeping the main thing the main thing, which Sam is

0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:10.600
<v Speaker 2>famous for saying on gen season, and to add fuel

0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:15.080
<v Speaker 2>to these soft launch rumors before going on Bachelor in Paradise.

0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Sam told Joe and Serena on Happy Hour the podcast

0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:22.919
<v Speaker 2>that he wanted to see Ali Joe there, I would say,

0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:24.400
<v Speaker 2>this is a thing.

0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:26.760
<v Speaker 3>You know what all I can think about while you're

0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:30.000
<v Speaker 3>reading the entire story, it's I I gotta get off

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:33.920
<v Speaker 3>social media. I got I gotta stay. I gotta spend

0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:36.320
<v Speaker 3>more less time on this thing. Like I can't what

0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:37.920
<v Speaker 3>are we even talking about? What is this?

0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:39.119
<v Speaker 2>This makes perfect sense to me.

0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:43.920
<v Speaker 3>Great, And obviously I'm coming on it from a different,

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:48.000
<v Speaker 3>whole different angle, and you are right. I am wrong.

0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:51.600
<v Speaker 3>I am on the almost famous podcast, like.

0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:54.159
<v Speaker 2>I think this is a this is a couple in

0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:54.600
<v Speaker 2>the making.

0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:56.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, great, cool. Yeah, But it was just like one

0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:58.720
<v Speaker 3>of those things like I was reading it or you

0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:00.800
<v Speaker 3>were reading it. I was listening, and like you see

0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:04.080
<v Speaker 3>a hand and then there's a real thing and then

0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:05.320
<v Speaker 3>keep the main thing.

0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:06.600
<v Speaker 2>We're doing online.

0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:09.800
<v Speaker 3>I was like, what are we doing? What? What not?

0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 3>What are we doing? What am I doing? What am

0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:16.200
<v Speaker 3>I doing? Anyway? Congratulations to the new company.

0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes, get off social media and start watching more TV

0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:22.040
<v Speaker 2>shows with me, please? All right, So Alex Cooper's new

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:27.000
<v Speaker 2>show Love Overboard has announced its host. We were speculating

0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:29.960
<v Speaker 2>this last week because we saw Gabby Windley's whereabouts on

0:22:30.000 --> 0:22:32.399
<v Speaker 2>social media and it was announced this week that she

0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:36.640
<v Speaker 2>will be the host of Hulu's new dating show, produced

0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:41.960
<v Speaker 2>by Alex Cooper's Unwell Productions. Love over Board is going

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:45.920
<v Speaker 2>to debut on Hulu in twenty twenty six and Disney

0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:49.919
<v Speaker 2>Plus internationally. We have some friends working on the show

0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:52.359
<v Speaker 2>as part of this family, and it makes sense to

0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:56.080
<v Speaker 2>us as to why Gabby might have been picked to

0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 2>be the host of this show because one the people

0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:02.560
<v Speaker 2>that we know producing this show have ties to Gabby

0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:07.800
<v Speaker 2>because aka, she was the Bachelorette and then also her

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:12.760
<v Speaker 2>season on The Traders definitely like gave her a burst, Yeah,

0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:16.199
<v Speaker 2>big boost, big boost. And she's good with gameplay. We

0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:19.119
<v Speaker 2>know that, and so if this dating show has anything

0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:21.520
<v Speaker 2>to do with well love and gameplay, she is a

0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 2>good choice. In the show, we're gonna see singles chase

0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:29.919
<v Speaker 2>a possible love partner while sailing aboard a luxury yacht.

0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:36.080
<v Speaker 2>The show synopsis says this, As the journey unfolds, romance ignites,

0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:39.280
<v Speaker 2>alliance's form and hearts are shattered. In the end, only

0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:42.359
<v Speaker 2>one couple will reign supreme. Who will rise to the

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:44.520
<v Speaker 2>top and he'll be left stranded. I mean that makes sense.

0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:47.800
<v Speaker 2>It makes total sense for Gabby to be hosting it. Yeah,

0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:49.480
<v Speaker 2>combination of love and traders.

0:23:49.640 --> 0:23:53.040
<v Speaker 3>Obviously, I just go back to what is close to

0:23:53.119 --> 0:23:56.879
<v Speaker 3>us and it just, yeah, it makes me. I hope

0:23:57.000 --> 0:24:00.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm in the minority with this Paradise season. Granted I

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:02.840
<v Speaker 3>haven't watched a lot of it, but I hope that

0:24:03.119 --> 0:24:05.160
<v Speaker 3>people are liking it a lot more.

0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:07.680
<v Speaker 2>What does this have to do with anything, because.

0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:11.320
<v Speaker 3>It just feels like, here we go another dating show,

0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:16.280
<v Speaker 3>Gabby's the host. It's by Alex Cooper, like streaming on Hulu. Like,

0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:18.840
<v Speaker 3>you know, obviously there's only so much attention span for

0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:21.520
<v Speaker 3>people out there, so it's like if there is a

0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:28.840
<v Speaker 3>big supply within this dating reality show market, it's like,

0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:31.119
<v Speaker 3>oh man, they're adding another show and it asks Gabby

0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:33.520
<v Speaker 3>as the lead, and like we know certain people producing it,

0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:35.840
<v Speaker 3>and like obviously we're going to support it because we

0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:38.840
<v Speaker 3>know the people that are working on it, which is wonderful.

0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:41.560
<v Speaker 3>But it's like, you know, I just hope that Paradise

0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:44.080
<v Speaker 3>is keeping up. So anyway, that's my thoughts, because this

0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:46.520
<v Speaker 3>show is going to crush it. I mean it's Alex

0:24:46.640 --> 0:24:49.000
<v Speaker 3>Cooper just like anything this woman touches is killing it.

0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Gabby's just huge right now, we know some of the

0:24:52.960 --> 0:24:56.040
<v Speaker 3>people working on it, and there's extremely talented a dating

0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:58.320
<v Speaker 3>show on a boat, and then also what Bachelors are.

0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:01.240
<v Speaker 3>But what Bachelor had going or for so long and

0:25:01.359 --> 0:25:06.040
<v Speaker 3>still does is the engagement. Yeah, like they have the

0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:08.040
<v Speaker 3>rights own. I think they're the only show that it

0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:11.000
<v Speaker 3>can end in engagement, really, I think so. I think

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:13.840
<v Speaker 3>that's why no other show ends in an engagement. Wow,

0:25:14.320 --> 0:25:16.280
<v Speaker 3>So I think Bachelor is the only one that can

0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:18.639
<v Speaker 3>do that, which really separates it from other dating shows.

0:25:18.680 --> 0:25:22.800
<v Speaker 3>Having said that, because there's so many engagements that just

0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:26.760
<v Speaker 3>end literally months after the show, the engagement doesn't have

0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:28.679
<v Speaker 3>the weight that I used to. So it's kind of like,

0:25:28.960 --> 0:25:31.480
<v Speaker 3>is there a difference between people leaving together on a

0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:34.480
<v Speaker 3>different show or being engaged on Paradise? I don't really see.

0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:37.480
<v Speaker 2>It, especially since so many married couples from Paradise did

0:25:37.520 --> 0:25:39.639
<v Speaker 2>not get engaged on the show.

0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:43.320
<v Speaker 3>Uh, who else in Paradise you meet?

0:25:44.960 --> 0:25:48.480
<v Speaker 2>You meet Adam Raven, Kevin and Astrod.

0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:51.600
<v Speaker 3>Adam Raven didn't get No, wasn't it like on the

0:25:51.600 --> 0:25:56.080
<v Speaker 3>post show the after show. No, No, Yeah, who else

0:25:56.680 --> 0:26:01.160
<v Speaker 3>Kevin and Astrod, Yeah, they didn't get engaged, and so I.

0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Think that I might be missing I might be missing one.

0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:04.960
<v Speaker 3>Tannor and Jay got engaged.

0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I know, there's a lot that did get engaged.

0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:13.040
<v Speaker 3>But oh Becca, Becca, oh Koofer, yeah, oh Thomas Yeah yeah.

0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:15.679
<v Speaker 2>So that's four of like the eight didn't even get

0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:19.920
<v Speaker 2>engaged in the show. Actually had like sometimes fake breakups.

0:26:20.080 --> 0:26:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean we got engaged in the show.

0:26:22.240 --> 0:26:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let's not be too specific. It's just the stakes

0:26:26.760 --> 0:26:27.879
<v Speaker 2>that they put on make.

0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:30.680
<v Speaker 3>It too you know, get a lot of pressure. Yeah, pressure, Okay.

<v Speaker 2>or so. She was celebrating a bachelorette party. There were

0:26:43.960 --> 0:26:46.879
<v Speaker 2>things that were like headlines with her saying she was

0:26:46.920 --> 0:26:51.840
<v Speaker 2>headed down the aisle. This past weekend, she in bachelornation BFFs.

0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:56.080
<v Speaker 2>They were united in Utah, and the gathering like had

0:26:56.119 --> 0:26:59.400
<v Speaker 2>put fans into just like a tizzy because they were

0:26:59.400 --> 0:27:02.680
<v Speaker 2>saying that they were celebrating Lattia's bachelorette party and we're

0:27:02.680 --> 0:27:05.320
<v Speaker 2>all finking, how did this girl get engaged so fast.

0:27:05.359 --> 0:27:08.000
<v Speaker 2>She met a guy and got engagees fast. We were

0:27:08.000 --> 0:27:11.440
<v Speaker 2>all excited for the hard launch for the with the

0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:15.399
<v Speaker 2>Fiance Fiance. There was a sign that said, welcome to

0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Latia's Bachelorette. And guess what it was all the lead

0:27:20.240 --> 0:27:23.920
<v Speaker 2>up for a brand deal with this this thing called

0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:26.520
<v Speaker 2>it's like a frozen like a popsicle. It's called true

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:29.159
<v Speaker 2>Frew which you gotta get it. You gotta get an

0:27:29.160 --> 0:27:36.120
<v Speaker 2>ad with them. Jared's the biggest popsicle guy. Uh yeah,

0:27:36.160 --> 0:27:39.680
<v Speaker 2>so the brand deal, it was walking down the freezer aisle.

0:27:41.000 --> 0:27:42.119
<v Speaker 2>Huh you want to see it?

0:27:42.640 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 3>No, here she is, Yes, she looks great.

0:27:47.240 --> 0:27:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, oh that's funny.

0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:54.760
<v Speaker 3>She goes cool now, yes, why is that? Was that

0:27:54.800 --> 0:27:55.680
<v Speaker 3>her thing? Come on now?

0:27:56.280 --> 0:27:59.879
<v Speaker 2>Just like so literally she was the front ridder of

0:27:59.880 --> 0:28:01.600
<v Speaker 2>the This is so funny that Jared doesn't know what

0:28:01.640 --> 0:28:03.679
<v Speaker 2>he's I mean, I know who she is clearly, No,

0:28:03.760 --> 0:28:05.159
<v Speaker 2>I know you do, but like you don't know the

0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:07.960
<v Speaker 2>come on now. So she was the front under the

0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:10.479
<v Speaker 2>entire time. It was so clear that like this feelings

0:28:10.520 --> 0:28:13.200
<v Speaker 2>seemed deeper for her. And then when he was breaking

0:28:13.280 --> 0:28:16.520
<v Speaker 2>up with her, she was like, come on now, come

0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:21.480
<v Speaker 2>on now, come on, she was just hilarious. Yeah, it

0:28:21.560 --> 0:28:22.320
<v Speaker 2>was a really good ad.

0:28:22.520 --> 0:28:22.680
<v Speaker 3>Good.

0:28:22.920 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Now the question is how far would we go for

0:28:26.119 --> 0:28:26.840
<v Speaker 2>a brand deal?

0:28:27.400 --> 0:28:28.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, what are you guys offering.

0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:35.280
<v Speaker 2>We would? Well, this is fun. This is not like

0:28:35.440 --> 0:28:37.639
<v Speaker 2>I would of course do this as a single girl.

0:28:37.880 --> 0:28:41.560
<v Speaker 2>That's so cute. That's a funny idea. Yeah, there's no

0:28:41.600 --> 0:28:44.280
<v Speaker 2>shame in this game, No, no.

0:28:44.120 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 3>Shame at all. I remember I saw somebody I know

0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:51.720
<v Speaker 3>post like give to Hannah Anne her pregnancy announcement, the

0:28:51.800 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 3>gender or something. She clearly had like product placement in it.

0:28:55.800 --> 0:28:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Really we have the same age.

0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:01.760
<v Speaker 3>And then somebody I know on Facebook, like one of

0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:04.560
<v Speaker 3>my mom's friends, like screenshot it and circled him and

0:29:04.640 --> 0:29:07.760
<v Speaker 3>was like, oh how disgusting And it's like yeah what

0:29:08.680 --> 0:29:12.480
<v Speaker 3>good guy? Like good god? Yeah, no, no, no, trust me.

0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:14.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure that if you were not offered Bunny to

0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:17.920
<v Speaker 3>post a picture like that, you guys never would obviously.

0:29:18.600 --> 0:29:22.160
<v Speaker 3>It's like, yeah, anyway, what if I guess.

0:29:22.240 --> 0:29:26.160
<v Speaker 2>The fun question here is would we fake a divorce

0:29:26.760 --> 0:29:30.240
<v Speaker 2>for a week? You know, trible in paradise headlines? Will

0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:33.160
<v Speaker 2>we do that in order to get a for a

0:29:33.200 --> 0:29:36.600
<v Speaker 2>brand deal? That you would have to be breaking glass

0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:39.280
<v Speaker 2>or whatever the heck, breaking the hell knows. I'm just

0:29:39.280 --> 0:29:39.880
<v Speaker 2>thinking of.

0:29:40.200 --> 0:29:42.680
<v Speaker 3>If Benny Brand has ideas for that, just reach out

0:29:42.720 --> 0:29:45.320
<v Speaker 3>to us and will decide that will we'll make the

0:29:45.360 --> 0:29:50.640
<v Speaker 3>decision the right how much money you willing to offer?

0:29:51.560 --> 0:29:52.840
<v Speaker 3>There's a price for everything.

0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Jared initially was going to say, like no, because you

0:29:57.600 --> 0:29:59.120
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't want to like freak the kids out, but the

0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:01.400
<v Speaker 2>kids wouldn't know, but you wouldn't want the kids to

0:30:01.520 --> 0:30:05.600
<v Speaker 2>like research us at some point and then like all

0:30:05.880 --> 0:30:06.680
<v Speaker 2>leading to a brand.

0:30:07.000 --> 0:30:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, as long as it was in h and tongue

0:30:09.520 --> 0:30:12.640
<v Speaker 3>in cheek, you know, I think, because you know, we

0:30:12.680 --> 0:30:15.360
<v Speaker 3>could talk to Dawson and Hayden later, like listen, guys,

0:30:15.400 --> 0:30:16.560
<v Speaker 3>it was it was a joke.

0:30:16.360 --> 0:30:18.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, Yeah, you get to go to college. It's

0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:19.960
<v Speaker 2>always the you get to go to college line.

0:30:20.040 --> 0:30:21.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because we both I think Ashley and I both

0:30:21.800 --> 0:30:24.560
<v Speaker 3>have sense of humors, more so me, but like a

0:30:24.600 --> 0:30:27.040
<v Speaker 3>little bit of a dark sense of humor where it's

0:30:27.040 --> 0:30:28.560
<v Speaker 3>like we can joke about those things. And I do

0:30:28.600 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 3>think Dawson and Hayden Walls have a very similar sense

0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:32.640
<v Speaker 3>of humor because I can already sense, I can already

0:30:32.640 --> 0:30:33.160
<v Speaker 3>see Dawson.

0:30:33.240 --> 0:30:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I can.

0:30:33.880 --> 0:30:34.840
<v Speaker 3>He's definitely a ballbuster.

0:30:35.000 --> 0:30:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. He already like looks at us with like a

0:30:36.640 --> 0:30:38.240
<v Speaker 2>side I know, and he's like.

0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:39.960
<v Speaker 3>I know that if we were all in the joke together,

0:30:40.000 --> 0:30:40.680
<v Speaker 3>it would be fine.

0:30:40.800 --> 0:30:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right. Well the final headline, Becca Tilly and

0:30:46.040 --> 0:30:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Hailey Kyoko get engaged in Spain after they've been together

0:30:50.960 --> 0:30:54.280
<v Speaker 2>for seven years. They started dating like the same season

0:30:54.280 --> 0:30:56.760
<v Speaker 2>that you and I started dating. It was spring two

0:30:56.840 --> 0:30:58.520

0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:11.440
<v Speaker 2>gorgeous that I literally have. When we were at Tanya's wedding, yep,

0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:14.600
<v Speaker 2>I was like stressed by how like obsessed they are

0:31:14.600 --> 0:31:17.680
<v Speaker 2>with each other still like seven years in Like don't

0:31:17.680 --> 0:31:19.360
<v Speaker 2>you think that they like literally look at each other

0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:21.760
<v Speaker 2>the stars in their eyes. Still, I still look at

0:31:21.800 --> 0:31:22.160
<v Speaker 2>you like.

0:31:22.120 --> 0:31:25.440
<v Speaker 3>That, you know, not in a bad way, But they

0:31:25.440 --> 0:31:27.920
<v Speaker 3>come off as a very like of course they're madly

0:31:27.960 --> 0:31:28.320
<v Speaker 3>in life.

0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:31.160
<v Speaker 2>There are you kidding me? They're like obsessed with each other.

0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:33.520
<v Speaker 2>They like can't like let each other's hands go.

0:31:33.840 --> 0:31:35.680
<v Speaker 3>I could see I could see them like kind of

0:31:35.800 --> 0:31:37.840
<v Speaker 3>busting each other balls a little bit like couples do

0:31:37.880 --> 0:31:39.800
<v Speaker 3>when they're like dating five or six years, and you know,

0:31:41.000 --> 0:31:43.640
<v Speaker 3>sure like Hailey rolls her eyes, you know, like something

0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Becka does. But that's adorable, obviously, that's the whole purposeful

0:31:47.520 --> 0:31:49.960
<v Speaker 3>of changes love of alls as time goes on. Yeah,

0:31:50.000 --> 0:31:51.800
<v Speaker 3>Hailey's the best. I got to know Haley a lot

0:31:51.840 --> 0:31:55.719
<v Speaker 3>better at Dean and Kaylen's wedding and we really bonded.

0:31:55.760 --> 0:31:58.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean I was always friendly with her, but yeah,

0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:04.000
<v Speaker 3>she's wonderful, just wonderful. And Becca is uh, yeah, Becca's

0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:11.040
<v Speaker 3>just so down to earth. She really is a grounded person,

0:32:11.600 --> 0:32:12.680
<v Speaker 3>as you would say.

0:32:13.600 --> 0:32:16.960
<v Speaker 2>They're both just so special. Yeah, wonderful, they're wonderful energies

0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:22.840
<v Speaker 2>and lights. And I know that our producer Easton was

0:32:23.680 --> 0:32:26.320
<v Speaker 2>us already talked to the two of them on their

0:32:26.360 --> 0:32:29.520
<v Speaker 2>podcast Scrubbing In. So, Easton, is there anything you can

0:32:29.560 --> 0:32:32.840
<v Speaker 2>add from your episode that we wouldn't know from all

0:32:32.880 --> 0:32:33.480
<v Speaker 2>the headlines?

0:32:34.560 --> 0:32:37.400
<v Speaker 4>The two things that stuck out to me most. It's

0:32:37.440 --> 0:32:40.719
<v Speaker 4>such a beautiful story, but I'm trying to get through

0:32:40.800 --> 0:32:42.960
<v Speaker 4>that crying. I got really emotional of them there sayings.

0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:45.800
<v Speaker 4>But we asked, becha, like what did Haley say when

0:32:45.840 --> 0:32:50.000
<v Speaker 4>she popped the question, and she said that. Haley got

0:32:50.000 --> 0:32:53.280
<v Speaker 4>down one knee and said, I will always protect you

0:32:53.320 --> 0:32:55.800
<v Speaker 4>and I will always keep you safe. And just thinking

0:32:55.800 --> 0:33:00.240
<v Speaker 4>about everything that Beca's been through, with her being who

0:33:00.280 --> 0:33:04.360
<v Speaker 4>she is and coming from the world she's from, hearing

0:33:04.400 --> 0:33:07.520
<v Speaker 4>those words were really powerful to me. And then the

0:33:07.560 --> 0:33:10.480
<v Speaker 4>other thing I really really appreciated was that they didn't

0:33:10.480 --> 0:33:13.040
<v Speaker 4>notice at the time, but Hailey proposed on a nude beach,

0:33:14.880 --> 0:33:20.040
<v Speaker 4>so they're surrounded by just swinging penises. Yeah, they got

0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:22.760
<v Speaker 4>when she dropped Awndy, which I just if you haven't

0:33:22.760 --> 0:33:25.320
<v Speaker 4>seen the photos on their Instagram, it's they're so lovely,

0:33:25.360 --> 0:33:26.880
<v Speaker 4>but like just out of frames's just like a bunch

0:33:26.920 --> 0:33:27.600
<v Speaker 4>of naked people.

0:33:28.360 --> 0:33:33.760
<v Speaker 2>That's hilarious. There's so much emotion in the engagement pictures.

0:33:34.080 --> 0:33:36.480
<v Speaker 3>I think there's something very poetic about Haley and Becca

0:33:36.560 --> 0:33:40.280
<v Speaker 3>getting engaged while being surrounded by swinging penises. You know,

0:33:41.240 --> 0:33:43.920
<v Speaker 3>it's almost the perfect scenario that does.

0:33:43.840 --> 0:33:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Make some sort of poetic sense.

0:33:45.880 --> 0:33:47.680
<v Speaker 4>Yes, it really is. We're so happy for them and

0:33:47.680 --> 0:33:48.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm so excited for the future.

0:33:49.400 --> 0:33:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so what about the fact that Becca has to

0:33:55.360 --> 0:33:57.440
<v Speaker 2>now propose to Haley at some point, because that was

0:33:57.440 --> 0:33:59.240
<v Speaker 2>like kind of their deal. Right, that is.

0:33:59.200 --> 0:34:02.440
<v Speaker 4>Their deal's coming. And I keep saying, how funny will

0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:06.920
<v Speaker 4>it be if Haley says no, that's an option.

0:34:08.760 --> 0:34:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, we're so happy for them, and so is Becca's

0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:17.000
<v Speaker 2>best friend, Jojo Fletcher. She actually flew like twelve hours.

0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:20.680
<v Speaker 2>She said, she flew thirteen hours across country to surprise

0:34:20.719 --> 0:34:23.799
<v Speaker 2>her and they were only there for twelve hours until

0:34:23.800 --> 0:34:26.320
<v Speaker 2>they had to turn back around. But she's so happy

0:34:26.360 --> 0:34:29.760
<v Speaker 2>that they were got to celebrate at their little intimate

0:34:29.760 --> 0:34:32.960
<v Speaker 2>engagement dinner, just another special thing that Haley put together

0:34:33.000 --> 0:34:35.520
<v Speaker 2>for Becca. Surprised her with all of her best friends.

0:34:35.560 --> 0:34:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Once they came back from Spain. All right, well, Jared,

0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:42.680
<v Speaker 2>now it's time for our headline. It's not that you guys,

0:34:42.680 --> 0:34:45.120
<v Speaker 2>it's not that headlining. There was one headline. I was like, oh,

0:34:45.239 --> 0:34:50.360
<v Speaker 2>that's cool. So we are producing an indie TV pilot.

0:34:50.920 --> 0:34:54.560
<v Speaker 2>It's called Two Romantics, so it's like a rom com.

0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:56.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna let Jared talk about it because he is,

0:34:56.960 --> 0:34:59.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, his goal in life would be to be

0:34:59.520 --> 0:35:03.839
<v Speaker 2>some of producer director, and this is like his first

0:35:03.840 --> 0:35:04.840
<v Speaker 2>step into that world.

0:35:06.280 --> 0:35:09.680
<v Speaker 3>So this production company called Madhouse Films reached out to

0:35:09.680 --> 0:35:12.240
<v Speaker 3>Ashley and I and they were producing a TV pilot,

0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:16.000
<v Speaker 3>a short film directed by this girl, Italia light Rake,

0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:17.879
<v Speaker 3>who had done work with Ashley before, which is why

0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:20.600
<v Speaker 3>they reached out. And they were looking for executive producers

0:35:20.600 --> 0:35:22.759
<v Speaker 3>to help finance the film, and so they sent me

0:35:22.800 --> 0:35:25.839
<v Speaker 3>the script. They sent me a pitch deck of what

0:35:25.880 --> 0:35:28.880
<v Speaker 3>the show would be about, how they would pitch networks,

0:35:28.920 --> 0:35:31.640
<v Speaker 3>what overall vibe was going to be. I got to

0:35:31.719 --> 0:35:34.760
<v Speaker 3>zoom with the owners of Mad House Films and Talia

0:35:34.800 --> 0:35:37.280
<v Speaker 3>as well, and I really fell in love with the script.

0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:41.520
<v Speaker 3>It's the story of a micro influencer named Sam who

0:35:42.040 --> 0:35:44.279
<v Speaker 3>has like little less one hundred thousand followers and then

0:35:44.400 --> 0:35:45.880
<v Speaker 3>she gets kind of like a little bit of a

0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:49.200
<v Speaker 3>big break. She's trying to be a musician, where this

0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:52.640
<v Speaker 3>influencer named Mac who's kind of like this, you know,

0:35:52.800 --> 0:35:56.440
<v Speaker 3>douchebag early twenties influencer trying to be a musician as

0:35:56.480 --> 0:35:59.279
<v Speaker 3>well now like make real music, ends up seeing a

0:35:59.360 --> 0:36:02.200
<v Speaker 3>video of her, he asked to work with her. They collaborate.

0:36:02.239 --> 0:36:04.359
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of like a will they won't they, But

0:36:04.560 --> 0:36:06.839
<v Speaker 3>there's definitely a little bit of a dark side to it.

0:36:07.360 --> 0:36:09.719
<v Speaker 3>And I really enjoyed the script. I thought it was

0:36:10.040 --> 0:36:15.719
<v Speaker 3>very smart. I thought, I think it's a good commentary

0:36:15.800 --> 0:36:20.520
<v Speaker 3>on today's I think it's good commentary on today's influencer

0:36:20.560 --> 0:36:25.399
<v Speaker 3>world and also public relationships. So I'm excited about it.

0:36:25.719 --> 0:36:27.479
<v Speaker 3>We got to go to set they filmed in New York,

0:36:28.160 --> 0:36:29.799
<v Speaker 3>got to be on set. I'm at a cameo, got

0:36:29.840 --> 0:36:31.920
<v Speaker 3>to meet the entire cast and crew. We were there

0:36:31.960 --> 0:36:34.480
<v Speaker 3>for the whole day. I think Talia is an incredibly

0:36:34.520 --> 0:36:38.680
<v Speaker 3>talented director with a great eye, and I really enjoy

0:36:38.760 --> 0:36:43.200
<v Speaker 3>working with Madhouse. They are up and coming. They actually

0:36:43.360 --> 0:36:47.480
<v Speaker 3>just got their first feature film to release on Shutter,

0:36:47.520 --> 0:36:49.360
<v Speaker 3>which is a streaming service. It's a horror movie. It

0:36:49.400 --> 0:36:52.240
<v Speaker 3>starts as Lily Reanhrt and a couple other very known actresses,

0:36:52.239 --> 0:36:54.880
<v Speaker 3>so that's very exciting for them. So Ashley and I

0:36:54.880 --> 0:36:58.120
<v Speaker 3>feel very excited about working with Madhouse on this. I

0:36:58.120 --> 0:37:00.640
<v Speaker 3>think they're a great company with a bright fewure. I

0:37:00.640 --> 0:37:03.880
<v Speaker 3>think Talia is very talented with the great eyesh I

0:37:03.880 --> 0:37:06.480
<v Speaker 3>think the movie's gonna look great, or the film the

0:37:06.520 --> 0:37:09.359
<v Speaker 3>TV pilot, so we'll see. Hopefully we against some film

0:37:09.400 --> 0:37:13.160
<v Speaker 3>festivals next year, and hopefully there'll be an opportunity for

0:37:13.280 --> 0:37:16.719
<v Speaker 3>streaming service to because she's So what's happening is she

0:37:17.000 --> 0:37:22.040
<v Speaker 3>Talia wrote this TV pilot filmed, we're gonna send it

0:37:22.040 --> 0:37:25.400
<v Speaker 3>to film festivals, and then she's also writing a full

0:37:25.440 --> 0:37:28.840
<v Speaker 3>season one of Too Romantic as we speak. So the

0:37:28.920 --> 0:37:32.880
<v Speaker 3>idea is to show off, uh, this short film. Hopefully
