Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley i Almost Famous Podcast
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: It's time for another episode of the Almost Famous Podcast.
Speaker 2: This week we have a special episode where we've solicited
Speaker 2: questions from our listeners. It's called just a Q and A.
Speaker 2: We asked you what you want to talk about, what
Speaker 2: you want to hear? What maybe has been on your
Speaker 2: mind that we haven't answered that we maybe thought we
Speaker 2: answered or we intentionally didn't answer.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: In this episode, we're going to answer it and we're
Speaker 2: going to ask a few questions back and forth to
Speaker 2: each other. Again, this came from you, So if you
Speaker 2: have any other questions for the Almost Famous Podcast for
Speaker 2: Ashley or myself, feel free to write us on Instagram
Speaker 2: or email us at Ben and Ashley at iHeartMedia dot com.
Speaker 2: First question is for Ashley, what are your thoughts when
Speaker 2: Jonathan showed up in the crowd at after the final rows, Well.
Speaker 3: He was asked to be there, So it was like
Speaker 3: the producers asked them to be there. It wasn't like
Speaker 3: he just decided to show up. They wanted some tension
Speaker 3: on him. I'm sure that's why they showed him a lot.
Speaker 3: It wasn't as if he was there because like there
Speaker 3: was something going on with him and Jen. I think
Speaker 3: that if you're gonna ask me from my personal opinion
Speaker 3: on what's going on with Jonathan and Jen, I think
Speaker 3: that much like with Hannah when she had that chat
Speaker 3: with Tyler about maybe being open to going on a
Speaker 3: date there after the final Rows, when she had you know,
Speaker 3: that crappy ending, it was a nice little oh well,
Speaker 3: let's see where this goes, Like if you actually picked
Speaker 3: the quote better guy, which you know they're the better guys.
Speaker 3: You you know, how we get like this whole other
Speaker 3: storyline to play out on social media, in the in
Speaker 3: the press, Like it's fun for us as an audience
Speaker 3: to see them possibly go with somebody that they didn't
Speaker 3: choose on the show, and then it's fun for them
Speaker 3: to play it up for the audience. And it's always fun,
Speaker 3: you know, to flirt with like a cute person, a
Speaker 3: cute person. Right, So, Jonathan and Jen are out there
Speaker 3: right now and they're going to a whole bunch of
Speaker 3: events together. I don't know that anything's gonna really, I
Speaker 3: don't really think anything's gonna come of it. But you know,
Speaker 3: there's a reason that she dumped him in the first
Speaker 3: place have we ever seen. But then again, think about this.
Speaker 3: I say that, but look at Ari and Lauren and
Speaker 3: Jason and Molly and Me and Jared and then a
Speaker 3: whole bunch of people from Paradise. They broke up and
Speaker 3: then go back together. So you never know what this franchise.
Speaker 3: But if you're asking why Jonathan was in the audience,
Speaker 3: he was in the audience to stir up some chatter
Speaker 3: because and the producers invite him to be there.
Speaker 2: Good for him. He's living his best life right now.
Speaker 3: Yes, he's been a little bit extraund social. He's like
Speaker 3: leaning in a little too far, Jonathan, cool it down.
Speaker 3: You're just being too obvious about loving the attention right now.
Speaker 3: Love the attention, but it would be so obvious about it.
Speaker 2: Ashley, do you think jin should consider going on Bachelor
Speaker 2: in Paradise.
Speaker 3: I'm a little I'm a little torn as a as
Speaker 3: a viewer, I'm like, heck, yes, I want to see
Speaker 3: her on Paradise, But as somebody who's thinking about like morals,
Speaker 3: if I were her, I'd be like, no, you guys
Speaker 3: screwed me over, I'm not going to work with you again. Well,
Speaker 3: in a way, they screwed her over, but it was
Speaker 3: really Devin who screwed her over. Yes, they showed her
Speaker 3: engagement and her propose and that was Yaki, But we're
Speaker 3: kind of over that now and we're on to the
Speaker 3: fact that she just ended up choosing the worst choice
Speaker 3: she could have gone with. Yeah, that's true, and that's
Speaker 3: sort of on her, but it's also on them for
Speaker 3: casting him. As we've seen, there's plenty that didn't catch.
Speaker 2: With Paradise not airing until to twenty five, how can
Speaker 2: producers ensure that contestants don't form connections on social media
Speaker 2: beforehand like what happened last season?
Speaker 3: Well, they cannot, Ben do you agree they cannot because
Speaker 3: there's going to be such a gap because it'll have
Speaker 3: some of Joey's girls on Paradise and they'll have some
Speaker 3: of Grant's girls on Paradise. It's going to be so
Speaker 3: hard to say that they haven't mingled, like, of course
Speaker 3: they are. They're going to be at the same sort
Speaker 3: of events together. They all like to hang out in
Speaker 3: groups like, there's going to be plenty of connections formed,
Speaker 3: and the show just needs to lean into the fact
Speaker 3: that there is almost a show off the show, and
Speaker 3: they're going to need to do their best at explaining
Speaker 3: the connections that have been made going into paradise. What
Speaker 3: do you think?
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I was an on Paradise, so
Speaker 2: I have no clue how they stop people from talking
Speaker 2: or if people do talk. I never did that time
Speaker 2: in my life.
Speaker 3: Ashley.
Speaker 2: If they cast Kelsey Anderson's dad, who's fifty seven, as
Speaker 2: the next Golden Bachelor, would that lower the age of
Speaker 2: the women's women cast in his season to be in
Speaker 2: their face these Would he be more of a silver Bachelor.
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna make the cast predominantly in their
Speaker 3: sixties just to stay with the theme and to make
Speaker 3: sure that there it's actually golden. But I think that
Speaker 3: that is kind of the one downside of casting Mark
Speaker 3: because they obviously made an exception to their sixty plus
Speaker 3: rule by casting him, and then if they cast him
Speaker 3: as Golden Bachelor, it's going to bring that question up.
Speaker 2: Final question, Ashley, is there anything you're doing differently this
Speaker 2: time around with Hayden based on what you've learned with Dawson?
Speaker 3: Your final question to me and then I get to
Speaker 3: ask you questions.
Speaker 2: No, that's final question.
Speaker 3: Oh, final question? All right, Well, yes, but they're they're silly,
Speaker 3: they're sort of silly things. Number One, when we get
Speaker 3: to like eating stages, I'm not gonna let him eat
Speaker 3: a lot of the foods that Dawson is just obsessed
Speaker 3: with and won't deviate from. Like this kid is going
Speaker 3: to start at with vegetables and he may never have
Speaker 3: macaroni and cheese until he's like four because I can't
Speaker 3: get Dowson to eat a green So I'm just never
Speaker 3: gonna like offer Raiden some of the crappy food that
Speaker 3: Dawson's obsessed with. And you know, one of the foods
Speaker 3: that really gets under the radar are protein bars. Protein
Speaker 3: bars are legitimately chocolate bars, and Dawson's so into them
Speaker 3: now and I'm just like, no, you cannot have a
Speaker 3: chocolate bar in the middle of the day. When you
Speaker 3: look at those ingredients, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 4: And then this is very silly, But with Dawson, we
Speaker 4: would change his diaper all the time. We were changing
Speaker 4: his diaper in the middle of the night, multiple times,
Speaker 4: whenever he would get up for a bottle, even when
Speaker 4: there was like nothing in it. And I'm like, now,
Speaker 4: I'm like, no, kid, you know you get your midnight
Speaker 4: you're twelve thirty am, bottle, you get your diaper change,
Speaker 4: and then you get your diaper change when we all
Speaker 4: wake up in the morning. Just like your brother, just
Speaker 4: what your brother does now as a toddler.
Speaker 2: And everything seems fine, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: He's just peeing there. If he was pooping in the
Speaker 3: middle of the night, that'd be one thing, But like, no,
Speaker 3: he's sitting here, wet diaper doesn't bother you.
Speaker 2: You can be all right. Hey, that's question and answer
Speaker 2: is for the Almost Famous podcast. Continue to listen to
Speaker 2: all the good content coming your way. Until next time,
