Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
Speaker 1: with on our radio.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Almost Famous podcast. It's been here
Speaker 2: bringing you the latest news and Bachelor Nation. I'm joined
Speaker 2: today by the one that does it all. She does
Speaker 2: the research, she does it behind the scenes. Producer Heather
Speaker 2: is here to break it down with us. I think
Speaker 2: we all probably know why. It's producer Heather and not
Speaker 2: our typical co host Ashley, who is just busy right
Speaker 2: now doing you know, saving the world or being all
Speaker 2: over the world.
Speaker 3: Being a Rhode Island lady.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's just being a Rhode Island lady. So I'm
Speaker 2: guessing Heather, we could tell the listeners we'll be hearing
Speaker 2: more of you on headlines than normal right for the
Speaker 2: next few weeks.
Speaker 4: I mean maybe, Sorry, listeners here, No, they like it.
Speaker 2: I think they're excited about it. I think people get
Speaker 2: really behind this. They like your inside knowledge and inside track.
Speaker 2: But it's not that Ashley is is separating from us
Speaker 2: by any means, but she's off doing other things right now.
Speaker 4: You're both very busy, by the way, like, we try
Speaker 4: to make it work as best as we can, but
Speaker 4: we also don't want to leave the listeners hanging, you know,
Speaker 4: for their content, and so we do the best that
Speaker 4: we can. I'm excited though, that there's so much coming
Speaker 4: up on the pod. So not only will you and
Speaker 4: Lauren be recapping Ultimate Girls Trip starting next month, which
Speaker 4: will be very exciting. I will be very excited about
Speaker 4: this because you get to dive even further into the
Speaker 4: Real Housewives universe, but we will also be recapping the
Speaker 4: new Harry Jousey show on Netflix because we have a
Speaker 4: Bachelor Nation Bachelor Nation alum on that show, which we're
Speaker 4: going to get into today in headlines. We've also got
Speaker 4: the new book club that we are doing on the
Speaker 4: pod with Kaylin Bell. So a lot of really exciting,
Speaker 4: fun content on the pod.
Speaker 2: I think this Kaylen Bell book club idea is fantastic
Speaker 2: and I think it's like a niche podcast that's going
Speaker 2: to really that people are really going to enjoy hearing
Speaker 2: from her. She's an avid reader. It's one of the
Speaker 2: reasons her, my wife and her are such good friends
Speaker 2: is because they both love to read and explore books,
Speaker 2: talk through books and so and Kaylin's great at it.
Speaker 2: So I'm excited for that. We are going to be
Speaker 2: breaking down a lot here on the almost Famous podcast,
Speaker 2: because Bachelor Nation continues to expand outward from the Bachelor
Speaker 2: Universe verse, and I'm wondering whether, before we dive in
Speaker 2: the headlines, if we're going to see more of this
Speaker 2: since The Bachelor Bachelorette doesn't really seem to be airing
Speaker 2: anytime soon.
Speaker 4: I mean, definitely not airing anytime soon. I think we've
Speaker 4: all kind of given up on the TFP thing of
Speaker 4: it all.
Speaker 3: I mean, I know, I have what do you mean
Speaker 3: by that?
Speaker 2: Do you think it's done?
Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to air. I don't think
Speaker 3: it's going to air.
Speaker 4: That's just based on everything that's happening right now.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to air, nor do I
Speaker 3: think it should air.
Speaker 4: With how she is mentally doing, I think that the
Speaker 4: focus needs to be getting better, and I think that
Speaker 4: that's what she's taking steps to do. I do have
Speaker 4: friends on the casting team right now that are actively
Speaker 4: casting for The Bachelor.
Speaker 2: You're twenty thirty, the next Bachelor.
Speaker 4: I mean, and we never addressed it fully on the pod,
Speaker 4: but obviously my talking about Robert Irwin.
Speaker 3: That ship has sailed.
Speaker 4: That guy's got a girlfriend now, rumored, So that's not happening,
Speaker 4: which is kind of a bummer. But yeah, as far
Speaker 4: as I know, the peeps that I know that are
Speaker 4: working on this next season of The Bachelor, they're going
Speaker 4: full throttle. They will not tell me any sort of
Speaker 4: details obviously about what's going on, but that.
Speaker 3: Is going to be rumored to start filming this fall.
Speaker 2: Well, I kind of, I mean, I hope so right,
Speaker 2: I do hope the Bachelor franchise can pick itself back
Speaker 2: up again. So well, I guess what we could tell
Speaker 2: the listeners is we all hope that The Bachelor comes
Speaker 2: back full throttle, ready to go again, and we'll be
Speaker 2: tracking probably within the headlines episodes, what we're hearing on,
Speaker 2: maybe potential air dates, or who's getting casted, or who's
Speaker 2: being rumored to be the next lead of the show. Heather,
Speaker 2: question for you that you haven't been asked, I'm going
Speaker 2: to put you on the spot here. Can the listeners
Speaker 2: expect us to also break down Chris Harrison's new dating show.
Speaker 4: Well, I think we should put it out there if
Speaker 4: people are interested and excited about that, because I think
Speaker 4: I think we should. We're talking about other Bachelor adjacent people.
Speaker 4: I know, like Hannah Godwin is going to be on
Speaker 4: that new Netflix show at some point whenever airs. You know,
Speaker 4: we didn't cover Whitney on in the City on Bravo.
Speaker 4: That one felt to me personally a little convoluted because
Speaker 4: you guys don't watch Summer House, so it's a spin
Speaker 4: off of Summerhouse, so there was like a lot to unpack.
Speaker 4: I don't watch Summerhouse, and even me prepping for that
Speaker 4: interview was kind of just being like, who are these people?
Speaker 3: What's going on?
Speaker 4: But when it's a fresh start for everybody to jump
Speaker 4: in and be a new viewer all at the same time,
Speaker 4: I think it's a lot easier for people to follow
Speaker 4: and jump into. So I'm down to watch the Chris
Speaker 4: Harrison Show and recap it and see what it's all about.
Speaker 4: But yeah, our listeners should, you know, tell us what
Speaker 4: they think, and you know, Ben, it's a good thing
Speaker 4: to bring up as well that the pod has a
Speaker 4: hotline now if people want to call in and give
Speaker 4: their feedback and you know, questions.
Speaker 2: Or ever it seems dangerous.
Speaker 4: It does seem dangerous, but also exciting because we want
Speaker 4: to hear from you guys. So it's eight four four
Speaker 4: five almost. That's eight four four five almost. And also
Speaker 4: we'll you know, put it in the show notes. But
Speaker 4: call us, you know, leave a message. Do you want
Speaker 4: to hear us recap the Chris Harrison Show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be great eating show. You know, if anything,
Speaker 2: it will it will at least be fun to break
Speaker 2: down with him. I'm assuming and I can almost guarantee
Speaker 2: he'll be coming on the show to talk about it
Speaker 2: in depth for the episode airs or before his first
Speaker 2: episode air. So we'll listen to Chris there. Hey, let's
Speaker 2: start breaking down headlines. Heather big news. I found out
Speaker 2: about this a few weeks ago. Let me tell you
Speaker 2: this guy is working hard at his craft. We were
Speaker 2: at a golf tournament recently in Maine, and in the
Speaker 2: midst of the shenanigans that exists at a golf tournament
Speaker 2: with buddies, he was also working hard to perfect lines
Speaker 2: and make sure he was in his element. Joey graz
Speaker 2: a day. I just also want to mention here in
Speaker 2: case Joey listens, I did beat Wells and Joey at
Speaker 2: this golf tournament, and so I just want to make
Speaker 2: sure he is clearly hearing that. In Maine, at the
Speaker 2: Drive for Kids. Had to make a putt on the
Speaker 2: eighteenth hole to beat him, and I did. That doesn't
Speaker 2: always happen, so I want to make sure it's known
Speaker 2: as we also celebrate him because he is making his
Speaker 2: acting debut in a brand new holiday rom com. This
Speaker 2: holiday rom com, Heather, has some stars within it outside
Speaker 2: of Joey even tell us about this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So it's being reported by the Hollywood Reporter that
Speaker 4: this is going to be for the Roku channel and
Speaker 4: it's going to be called The Holiday Spark, which will
Speaker 4: star Joey alongside Jamie Chung. And according to the outlet,
Speaker 4: it says that The Holiday Spark follows what happens when
Speaker 4: perpetually single firefighter Dean played by Joey, enlist children's book
Speaker 4: illustrator Laura played by Jamie to help plan an epic
Speaker 4: holiday party for his firehouse. Throughout the planning process, they
Speaker 4: begin to question their views on romance and the possibility
Speaker 4: of love at first Spark, Joey said that acting in
Speaker 4: his first feature film has been a dream come true
Speaker 4: and such an exciting new chapter for him. He says
Speaker 4: that The Holiday Spark is filled with so much heart
Speaker 4: he feels incredibly lucky that this is the project he
Speaker 4: gets to make his debut with. And you know what's
Speaker 4: funny is he's not the only one that is in
Speaker 4: Bachelor Nation that is going to be in a holiday
Speaker 4: movie this year. We reported this kind of a couple
Speaker 4: of months ago, but Justin Glaze is also going to
Speaker 4: be in a holiday movie this year with Whitney from
Speaker 4: Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. So I would you have
Speaker 4: ever gotten into the acting thing if they called you
Speaker 4: up and said, hey, Ben, maybe it's like Ben, we
Speaker 4: want you to play like a heightened version of yourself?
Speaker 2: Or I did do that?
Speaker 3: What what were you in?
Speaker 2: I still get a check. I get like a twenty
Speaker 2: three cent residual every few months. It was called Famous
Speaker 2: and in Love and it was on free Form and
Speaker 2: I played myself as this person from the Midwest moved
Speaker 2: to Los Angeles to start acting and then they were
Speaker 2: running into you know, celebrities at the time. I guess
Speaker 2: I could say along the way in LA and so
Speaker 2: I did. I was in an episode of that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I would have done it. I mean, I think it's fun.
Speaker 2: I think it's challenging.
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 2: I do think it is a something that Joey obviously loved.
Speaker 2: I mean I saw it, like I said, I saw
Speaker 2: him working on it. My question, It's not uncommon for
Speaker 2: me to get a phone call from a past lead,
Speaker 2: and I will not say that Joey did this, because
Speaker 2: I think Joey found out a way to be fine
Speaker 2: post show and to do his own thing. But other
Speaker 2: leads have called me and said, Okay, as I look
Speaker 2: at my career now I have this job, do I
Speaker 2: continue in my job that I've always had, or do
Speaker 2: I start anew? Do I try to start hosting? Do I?
Speaker 2: And you know, we always going to talk through I
Speaker 2: guess like career planning with some of them. I've never
Speaker 2: put acting into that conversation because I don't I've never
Speaker 2: seen a reality star make the transition successfully.
Speaker 4: It's a really good point that you're making, because I
Speaker 4: would say that it's only been in the last couple
Speaker 4: of years that we're actually seeing the transition has happened
Speaker 4: for reality stars. But it usually takes longer and there's
Speaker 4: usually got to be more distance between them and the show.
Speaker 4: But we are seeing that transition happen quicker and quicker.
Speaker 4: And I think that as somebody on the casting side.
Speaker 4: I used to hear that all the time, like.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't want to do it. I want to
Speaker 3: be an actor. And I'd be like you can be though, and.
Speaker 4: People would be like no, my agent says you no, reality,
Speaker 4: it's over. And it's like I could come up with
Speaker 4: a whole list for you right now. And I did
Speaker 4: this for this reason of reality stars that have made
Speaker 4: the transition into acting and have had super successful careers,
Speaker 4: like you know, somebody that was on American Idol a
Speaker 4: couple like years ago, was like in The Color Purple
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago, which was like nominated for awards,
Speaker 4: like Academy Award winning actress Emma Stone was on a
Speaker 4: reality show. Like yes, everybody is really shocked when I
Speaker 4: say that. So it's like there's lots and lots of
Speaker 4: people that are able to make the transition. And I
Speaker 4: kind of like love that we're seeing this surgeons right
Speaker 4: now of like not all our reality stars becoming like
Speaker 4: correspondence on these red carpets, you know, and stuff like that,
Speaker 4: but they're also making that leap into acting, and so
Speaker 4: are TikTokers. Quite honestly, we're seeing TikTokers also making the
Speaker 4: jump to the big screen.
Speaker 3: So I think it's cool.
Speaker 2: I think it's cool, and I think, as I said,
Speaker 2: it would be different if somebody did it didn't feel
Speaker 2: like they were working at it and didn't feel like
Speaker 2: they wanted it and didn't see it as a legitimate path.
Speaker 2: But Joey, I could tell, was like, Hey, I don't
Speaker 2: know if this is my future, but I don't want
Speaker 2: to throw it out the window if it is.
Speaker 3: And how are you going to know if you don't try?
Speaker 4: Good for him and it's cool, We're going to have
Speaker 4: to obviously have him on sure, you know, to talk
Speaker 4: about it, because he's also got you know, I think
Speaker 4: Dancing with the Stars stuff going on this summer as well.
Speaker 2: He does he does the Dancing with the Stars Cohn
Speaker 2: or whatever they're calling it. It's coming up in just
Speaker 2: a few well just a few days, honestly.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: Another you know, Joey can't make the golf trip this
Speaker 2: year because of dance con and obviously Joe, who usually attends,
Speaker 2: cannot either because of the recent announcement that he had
Speaker 2: that he'll be having surgery. The headline is that we
Speaker 2: talked about Joe and his announcement and his diagnosis and
Speaker 2: what is going to be going on with him here
Speaker 2: in just a few short days. But he in preparation
Speaker 2: for it, just got a new haircut ahead of this surgery.
Speaker 2: I Heather think he looks good.
Speaker 4: I was literally gonna say, what a way to rock
Speaker 4: a buzz cut, like you will you look real good
Speaker 4: with that new haircut.
Speaker 3: But yeah, he posted a video.
Speaker 4: To Instagram and he kind of like takes off his
Speaker 4: sunglasses and he looks at the camera and then he
Speaker 4: like proceeds to walk away and he says, might as
Speaker 4: well give them easy access in the caption. So I mean, yes,
Speaker 4: he's prepping for this upcoming surgery, you know, for this
Speaker 4: early stage brain tumor that he's been diagnosed with. So yeah, Joe,
Speaker 4: great to keep the spirits high, to be smiling, to
Speaker 4: be sharing that on social media as scary, and you know,
Speaker 4: they kind of went into this on their podcast about
Speaker 4: that this surgery is very dangerous and scary for them.
Speaker 3: It's serious, It's said.
Speaker 4: Serena said on their podcast that the tumor is slow growing,
Speaker 4: but the likelihood of it growing into something aggressive or
Speaker 4: problematic is very high. So I love the fact that
Speaker 4: they are being open and honest, but also you know,
Speaker 4: trying to have a little bit of levity where they can,
Speaker 4: because that is important too.
Speaker 3: I think when going through scary stuff one.
Speaker 2: Hundred percent and we'll be falling along. Obviously we love
Speaker 2: Joe and Serena here and no one personally will be
Speaker 2: falling along with the updates as obviously his surgery takes
Speaker 2: place and then as his recovery takes place during headlines,
Speaker 2: and so if you want to stay up to date
Speaker 2: on that, we'll stay up to date on that for
Speaker 2: you and communicate things here the best we can. Heather,
Speaker 2: I've been seeing this name pop up all over conversations
Speaker 2: with Bachelor Nation. I mean, we broke down that Ashley,
Speaker 2: our beloved co host here, used to be this person's
Speaker 2: like babysitter, and now we're seeing Jenny McCarthy recall pitching
Speaker 2: herself to be the greatest bachelorette ever after her divorce.
Speaker 2: That's the headline. Jenny McCarthy recalls pitching herself to be
Speaker 2: the next or greatest bachelorette after her divorce to Donnie Wahlberg.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, not her divorce to Donnie Wahlberg. She's
Speaker 4: still married to him.
Speaker 2: Oh I didn't know she was. Oh was she married?
Speaker 2: Was was it Jim Carrey?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: No, no, that was her boyfriend.
Speaker 4: So first she was married to a director named John
Speaker 4: Asher for six.
Speaker 2: Oh no, all right, never mind, So she's still married
Speaker 2: to Donnie.
Speaker 4: Yes, this guy a headline in itself if her Yeah.
Speaker 2: Please don't clip that out. But my question is, what
Speaker 2: in the word were they thinking? Like? Why did it
Speaker 2: get not? Why did not happen? Can you answer that question?
Speaker 4: First of all, there's so much that I have to
Speaker 4: unpack with this. Okay, I did not know that Ashley
Speaker 4: was Jenny's nanny.
Speaker 3: I'm assuming you knew that because you're never.
Speaker 2: Heard it before, never knew it.
Speaker 4: How was that possible that she has never told either
Speaker 4: of us that that's who she used to work with.
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I don't understand.
Speaker 4: We need to grill her about that the next time
Speaker 4: we see her, because what the heck Ashley? So yeah,
Speaker 4: she said when she was on the Bachelor Happy Hour
Speaker 4: podcast that she said, I called my agent and I said,
Speaker 4: I want you to call them, and I want you
Speaker 4: to pitch me as the bachelorette. I want you to
Speaker 4: tell them that Jenny McCarthy from MTV singled out the
Speaker 4: number one dating show of all time, is single now
Speaker 4: and wants to be on the show. First of all,
Speaker 4: that is a hilarious thing that she would have done. So,
Speaker 4: like I said, she was married for six years until
Speaker 4: her divorce in two thousand and five, so it was
Speaker 4: probably around there. She goes on to say, I had
Speaker 4: no fear, but I was also genuinely looking for love.
Speaker 4: I was like, I would make the greatest bachelorette of
Speaker 4: all time. We don't want they and then the show
Speaker 4: said we don't want famous people on the show. It
Speaker 4: would have been the most ultimate Bachelor Nation season of
Speaker 4: all time, she says. And then she goes, I would
Speaker 4: have had so much fun with those boys. I would
Speaker 4: have made out with all of them. I would have
Speaker 4: just been like so awesome on the show. And she
Speaker 4: goes on to say, like I'm an og Bachelor Nation girl.
Speaker 4: So the reason why I love it is there's a hopefulness,
Speaker 4: there's an awkwardness.
Speaker 3: Even though it's on TV.
Speaker 4: Things are polished, but you can't escape the awkwardness of
Speaker 4: the first meetings and the first date. And you know,
Speaker 4: she does say in this interview that she feels like
Speaker 4: they are kind of missing out on the celebrity version.
Speaker 4: They can literally call it the celebrity version of the Bachelorette,
Speaker 4: because I think they would really do well. They've got
Speaker 4: other celebrity versions of everything else. Why would they not
Speaker 4: do a celebrity version of the Bachelorette. So obviously that
Speaker 4: would have been hilarious. Jenny is so funny and so hot.
Speaker 4: I mean, like still now, she's been hot for like
Speaker 4: thirty years, so that would have been extremely funny to see,
Speaker 4: I think. But it's just it's funny how things change,
Speaker 4: right because now clearly they've changed their minds on the
Speaker 4: celebrity celebrity adjacent thing, and you know, with the decision
Speaker 4: to Cass Taylor in the lead, this is this.
Speaker 2: I just like that. Ginny's popping up honestly all over
Speaker 2: backs doination like this is really fun for me. And
Speaker 2: we do have to make a note to ask Ashley
Speaker 2: about this. You really never heard of this before.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I understand why, she's probably never
Speaker 4: told me. But I just was under the assumption when
Speaker 4: I saw those headlines that oh, Ben has to have
Speaker 4: known this story.
Speaker 2: I wish I could speak to it. I can't, Ah Hey,
Speaker 2: we have two more headlines for you, both of which
Speaker 2: are fantastic, one of which we'll be answering the question
Speaker 2: that Heather kind of teased earlier on who is joining
Speaker 2: Let's marry Harry. But before we get to that, let's
Speaker 2: talk about Daisy Kent. Daisy kent't is has a stunning
Speaker 2: bridal shower. We don't expect anything different and some other
Speaker 2: Bachelor Nation stars attended.
Speaker 3: First of all, we love Daisy.
Speaker 4: Obviously, she's part of our crew over here.
Speaker 3: She's got that Dirty Rush podcast that we love. But yeah,
Speaker 3: they are.
Speaker 4: Her and Thor are getting closer to their December wedding, which.
Speaker 3: Is crazy. That is very close.
Speaker 4: And over the weekend this past weekend might have been
Speaker 4: the weekend before she celebrated, you know, her bridal shower
Speaker 4: in Minnesota, and she had like a fun boat day
Speaker 4: on the water and then was joined by loved ones
Speaker 4: at a beautiful venue. It took place inside a clear
Speaker 4: tented structure with floral chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, and
Speaker 4: the theme seemed to be kind of like a garden
Speaker 4: party kind of thing, which is very on trend because
Speaker 4: that was you know, Taylor and Travis's wedding theme as well,
Speaker 4: supposedly the garden. So she had her fellow season twenty
Speaker 4: eight Bachelor Nation stars Chrisa Perez and Autumn there with
Speaker 4: her and they were like all over social media. Chrisa
Speaker 4: posted a photo of the three of them as well
Speaker 4: as a video of everyone dancing and wrote best time
Speaker 4: showering our bride with the daisy emoji. And then Thor
Speaker 4: gifted his bride a beautiful bouquet of flowers during the
Speaker 4: event and the two posed for a.
Speaker 3: Few pictures together. So very sweet little day for the
Speaker 3: two of them.
Speaker 2: We love daisy as you mentioned, and pump for the
Speaker 2: two of them. I just I have a feeling their
Speaker 2: wedding is going to be insane.
Speaker 4: I mean, the freaking engagement pictures were insane. Those like
Speaker 4: winter like cowgirl kind of. It's just so cool. It's
Speaker 4: gonna be cool for sure.
Speaker 2: Final headline Lauren Hollinger. Now, if you don't know who
Speaker 2: we're talking about here, Heather can break that down. But
Speaker 2: Lauren Hollinger, who has appeared within the Bachelor franchise, joins
Speaker 2: new reality series Let's Marry Harry on Netflix.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so she's also from season twenty eight The same
Speaker 4: season as Daisy.
Speaker 3: So that's Joey's season, right, Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, So she was keeping her followers updated online, often
Speaker 4: posting adventures with her sister and her bestie Maria georgees
Speaker 4: who Maria is going to be on a new show too.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's confirmed, but rumored that Maria
Speaker 4: is going to be on Hulu's The Mafia show that's
Speaker 4: coming out, which is like Hulu's version of Traders and Shane,
Speaker 4: also from Taylor Frankie Paul season, is also going to
Speaker 4: be on that show.
Speaker 3: So another show for us to recap. Who knows.
Speaker 4: I don't know when that one's coming out yet, but yeah.
Speaker 4: Lauren took to social media to announce that she is
Speaker 4: joining the Let's Marry Harry Show If anybody is listening
Speaker 4: and has no idea who Harry Jousey is.
Speaker 3: He became very famous.
Speaker 4: From being on the original season of Too Hot to
Speaker 4: Handle on Netflix. He has really capitalized on that stint
Speaker 4: on that show.
Speaker 3: You know. He's a podcaster now on the Unwell Network.
Speaker 4: He has made appearances on Secret Lives and Mormon Wives
Speaker 4: and like all sorts of different shows. He's a very cute,
Speaker 4: lovable I was gonna say dork, but he's not a dork.
Speaker 4: He's like very He's just a flirt, you know this,
Speaker 4: Harry Josey. That's just kind of what he's known for,
Speaker 4: a lovable little flirt. And so, according to the Companies
Speaker 4: you Know website, on the show, Harry will date a
Speaker 4: pool of potential matches in hopes of finding what he
Speaker 4: truly wants, authentic love and marriage.
Speaker 3: That makes me giggle because.
Speaker 4: He's kind of been a notorious, like single dude. So
Speaker 4: that'll be a fun thing to watch. And Lauren posted
Speaker 4: her headshot on Instagram saying Ello welling at me. She
Speaker 4: then added it airs August fifth, and like I said,
Speaker 4: we will be breaking this show down on the Almost
Speaker 4: Famous podcast. We will be bringing back Deanna to recap
Speaker 4: these episodes because it'll.
Speaker 3: Be super fun.
Speaker 4: I think in that same vein of kind of like
Speaker 4: Love Overboard, which we recapped with Deanna previously. And this
Speaker 4: will be, you know, guys, a typical binge on Netflix
Speaker 4: where they will be dropping the first seven episodes in
Speaker 4: one day and then coming back a couple days later
Speaker 4: with the finale or a week later.
Speaker 3: So keep your self tuned into the.
Speaker 4: Pod because we will be recapping that and obviously having
Speaker 4: we're arranging to get Lauren to come on the pod
Speaker 4: and talk about, you know, the show a little bit.
Speaker 2: Harry jealousy has always been an anomaly to me because
Speaker 2: he's been around for a while and he's been able
Speaker 2: to keep himself very relevant for a share time. Heather,
Speaker 2: what is his secret?
Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's about the being cute, being tall,
Speaker 4: you know, and part of you know, tapping in and
Speaker 4: really milking what could be fifteen minutes for a lot
Speaker 4: of people, is really tapping into that social media element.
Speaker 4: So Harry has constantly, you know, been paparazzied or been
Speaker 4: you know seen hanging out with other social media people
Speaker 4: or dating other social media It's like that is part
Speaker 4: of the game now. In order to stay relevant, is
Speaker 4: you kind of got to be seen and like I said,
Speaker 4: making those pop up appearances on shows like Secret Lives
Speaker 4: of Mormon Wives, you know, getting a podcast deal pretty
Speaker 4: quickly after somebody come for me. But I want to
Speaker 4: say he also wrote a book. He's got a very
Speaker 4: interesting he's got a very interesting life. I don't want
Speaker 4: to go into it because it's a little sad and
Speaker 4: I don't want to bring the vibes down right now.
Speaker 4: But he has been recently open about some stuff from
Speaker 4: his past and dealing with grief that I actually found
Speaker 4: really open and honest to listen to.
Speaker 3: That I heard him do on another podcast recently.
Speaker 4: So I'm interested to see how much of that other
Speaker 4: side we get to see of him on this show.
Speaker 4: Because it was Too Hot to Handle was quite a
Speaker 4: few years ago and it was just, you know, it's
Speaker 4: that's a very sexy, rounchy show, and that was our
Speaker 4: first introduction with him. So I'm excited to see with
Speaker 4: him being a lead, if we're going to see you know,
Speaker 4: layers to Harry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been interested in getting him on my faith
Speaker 2: based show if you can hear me, because I know
Speaker 2: he's been on a faith journey recently and so I've
Speaker 2: wanted to have that conversation with him. This is reminding
Speaker 2: me to reach out and try to do that. This
Speaker 2: will be interesting, Heather the way I see this, Good
Speaker 2: luck to Lauren. Hopefully it's only one season. Like, I
Speaker 2: don't know how this is a sustainable model, because if
Speaker 2: it works, it's done.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm also not going to go into the fact that
Speaker 4: Reality Steve spoiled it like a week ago, so I didn't.
Speaker 3: I skipped through it really really quick.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, glance, glance, glance, and then I
Speaker 4: didn't remember names. So I'm like, okay, not looking at
Speaker 4: reality Steve stuff. Moving forward because now we're going to
Speaker 4: be recapping it and I want to be invested in
Speaker 4: non judge you with my thoughts.
Speaker 2: Sure that makes sense. Hey, Heather, thanks for jumping on
