<v Speaker 2>It's time for another episode of the Almost Famous Podcast.

0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:11.480
<v Speaker 2>This week we have a special episode where we've solicited

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:14.680
<v Speaker 2>questions from our listeners. It's called just a Q and A.

0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:16.959
<v Speaker 2>We asked you what you want to talk about, what

0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 2>you want to hear? What maybe has been on your

0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:20.880
<v Speaker 2>mind that we haven't answered that we maybe thought we

0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 2>answered or we intentionally didn't answer.

0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Well.

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:25.320
<v Speaker 2>In this episode, we're going to answer it and we're

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 2>going to ask a few questions back and forth to

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 2>each other. Again, this came from you, So if you

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 2>have any other questions for the Almost Famous Podcast for

0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Ashley or myself, feel free to write us on Instagram

0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 2>or email us at Ben and Ashley at iHeartMedia dot com.

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>First question is for Ashley, what are your thoughts when

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Jonathan showed up in the crowd at after the final rows, Well.

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.800
<v Speaker 3>He was asked to be there, So it was like

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 3>the producers asked them to be there. It wasn't like

0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 3>he just decided to show up. They wanted some tension

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.600
<v Speaker 3>on him. I'm sure that's why they showed him a lot.

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.320
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't as if he was there because like there

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 3>was something going on with him and Jen. I think

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.320
<v Speaker 3>that if you're gonna ask me from my personal opinion

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 3>on what's going on with Jonathan and Jen, I think

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 3>that much like with Hannah when she had that chat

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 3>with Tyler about maybe being open to going on a

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.399
<v Speaker 3>date there after the final Rows, when she had you know,

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:35.040
<v Speaker 3>that crappy ending, it was a nice little oh well,

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 3>let's see where this goes, Like if you actually picked

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 3>the quote better guy, which you know they're the better guys.

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 3>You you know, how we get like this whole other

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 3>storyline to play out on social media, in the in

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 3>the press, Like it's fun for us as an audience

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 3>to see them possibly go with somebody that they didn't

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 3>choose on the show, and then it's fun for them

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 3>to play it up for the audience. And it's always fun,

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, to flirt with like a cute person, a

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 3>cute person. Right, So, Jonathan and Jen are out there

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 3>right now and they're going to a whole bunch of

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:15.519
<v Speaker 3>events together. I don't know that anything's gonna really, I

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.959
<v Speaker 3>don't really think anything's gonna come of it. But you know,

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 3>there's a reason that she dumped him in the first

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 3>place have we ever seen. But then again, think about this.

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 3>I say that, but look at Ari and Lauren and

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 3>Jason and Molly and Me and Jared and then a

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 3>whole bunch of people from Paradise. They broke up and

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 3>then go back together. So you never know what this franchise.

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 3>But if you're asking why Jonathan was in the audience,

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 3>he was in the audience to stir up some chatter

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.519
<v Speaker 3>because and the producers invite him to be there.

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.359
<v Speaker 2>Good for him. He's living his best life right now.

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.920
<v Speaker 3>Yes, he's been a little bit extraund social. He's like

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 3>leaning in a little too far, Jonathan, cool it down.

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 3>You're just being too obvious about loving the attention right now.

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 3>Love the attention, but it would be so obvious about it.

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Ashley, do you think jin should consider going on Bachelor

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 2>in Paradise.

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm a little I'm a little torn as a as

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 3>a viewer, I'm like, heck, yes, I want to see

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 3>her on Paradise, But as somebody who's thinking about like morals,

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 3>if I were her, I'd be like, no, you guys

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 3>screwed me over, I'm not going to work with you again. Well,

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.920
<v Speaker 3>in a way, they screwed her over, but it was

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 3>really Devin who screwed her over. Yes, they showed her

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 3>engagement and her propose and that was Yaki, But we're

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 3>kind of over that now and we're on to the

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 3>fact that she just ended up choosing the worst choice

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.119
<v Speaker 3>she could have gone with. Yeah, that's true, and that's

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 3>sort of on her, but it's also on them for

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 3>casting him. As we've seen, there's plenty that didn't catch.

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 2>With Paradise not airing until to twenty five, how can

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 2>producers ensure that contestants don't form connections on social media

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 2>beforehand like what happened last season?

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, they cannot, Ben do you agree they cannot because

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 3>there's going to be such a gap because it'll have

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 3>some of Joey's girls on Paradise and they'll have some

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 3>of Grant's girls on Paradise. It's going to be so

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.040
<v Speaker 3>hard to say that they haven't mingled, like, of course

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 3>they are. They're going to be at the same sort

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.479
<v Speaker 3>of events together. They all like to hang out in

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 3>groups like, there's going to be plenty of connections formed,

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:29.840
<v Speaker 3>and the show just needs to lean into the fact

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:34.599
<v Speaker 3>that there is almost a show off the show, and

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 3>they're going to need to do their best at explaining

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 3>the connections that have been made going into paradise. What

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 3>do you think?

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:42.480
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea. I was an on Paradise, so

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 2>I have no clue how they stop people from talking

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.720
<v Speaker 2>or if people do talk. I never did that time

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 2>in my life.

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:50.679
<v Speaker 3>Ashley.

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.680
<v Speaker 2>If they cast Kelsey Anderson's dad, who's fifty seven, as

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 2>the next Golden Bachelor, would that lower the age of

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 2>the women's women cast in his season to be in

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:03.599
<v Speaker 2>their face these Would he be more of a silver Bachelor.

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 3>I think they're gonna make the cast predominantly in their

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.920
<v Speaker 3>sixties just to stay with the theme and to make

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:15.560
<v Speaker 3>sure that there it's actually golden. But I think that

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:20.239
<v Speaker 3>that is kind of the one downside of casting Mark

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 3>because they obviously made an exception to their sixty plus

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 3>rule by casting him, and then if they cast him

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 3>as Golden Bachelor, it's going to bring that question up.

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Final question, Ashley, is there anything you're doing differently this

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 2>time around with Hayden based on what you've learned with Dawson?

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 3>Your final question to me and then I get to

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:38.839
<v Speaker 3>ask you questions.

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 2>No, that's final question.

0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh, final question? All right, Well, yes, but they're they're silly,

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:50.480
<v Speaker 3>they're sort of silly things. Number One, when we get

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.719
<v Speaker 3>to like eating stages, I'm not gonna let him eat

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 3>a lot of the foods that Dawson is just obsessed

0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 3>with and won't deviate from. Like this kid is going

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 3>to start at with vegetables and he may never have

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:08.280
<v Speaker 3>macaroni and cheese until he's like four because I can't

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 3>get Dowson to eat a green So I'm just never

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:14.720
<v Speaker 3>gonna like offer Raiden some of the crappy food that

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.599
<v Speaker 3>Dawson's obsessed with. And you know, one of the foods

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.279
<v Speaker 3>that really gets under the radar are protein bars. Protein

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:25.920
<v Speaker 3>bars are legitimately chocolate bars, and Dawson's so into them

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.160
<v Speaker 3>now and I'm just like, no, you cannot have a

0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 3>chocolate bar in the middle of the day. When you

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 3>look at those ingredients, it's ridiculous.

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:39.479
<v Speaker 4>And then this is very silly, But with Dawson, we

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 4>would change his diaper all the time. We were changing

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:45.880
<v Speaker 4>his diaper in the middle of the night, multiple times,

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.280
<v Speaker 4>whenever he would get up for a bottle, even when

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.640
<v Speaker 4>there was like nothing in it. And I'm like, now,

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, no, kid, you know you get your midnight

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:58.160
<v Speaker 4>you're twelve thirty am, bottle, you get your diaper change,

0:06:58.200 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 4>and then you get your diaper change when we all

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 4>wake up in the morning. Just like your brother, just

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:04.279
<v Speaker 4>what your brother does now as a toddler.

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.359
<v Speaker 2>And everything seems fine, right, Yeah.

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 3>He's just peeing there. If he was pooping in the

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 3>middle of the night, that'd be one thing, But like, no,

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 3>he's sitting here, wet diaper doesn't bother you.

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 2>You can be all right. Hey, that's question and answer
