WEBVTT - Could We Ever Have a Celebrity Bachelorette?? 0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.800 This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast 0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:04.640 with on our radio. 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:09.760 Welcome back to the Almost Famous podcast. It's been here 0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:13.480 bringing you the latest news and Bachelor Nation. I'm joined 0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:16.079 today by the one that does it all. She does 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:20.599 the research, she does it behind the scenes. Producer Heather 0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:22.440 is here to break it down with us. I think 0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:25.079 we all probably know why. It's producer Heather and not 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:28.800 our typical co host Ashley, who is just busy right 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.720 now doing you know, saving the world or being all 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:32.680 over the world. 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:34.159 Being a Rhode Island lady. 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:36.840 Yeah, she's just being a Rhode Island lady. So I'm 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:40.559 guessing Heather, we could tell the listeners we'll be hearing 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.839 more of you on headlines than normal right for the 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:44.640 next few weeks. 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.760 I mean maybe, Sorry, listeners here, No, they like it. 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.000 I think they're excited about it. I think people get 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:54.920 really behind this. They like your inside knowledge and inside track. 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.240 But it's not that Ashley is is separating from us 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:02.160 by any means, but she's off doing other things right now. 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.360 You're both very busy, by the way, like, we try 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.319 to make it work as best as we can, but 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.040 we also don't want to leave the listeners hanging, you know, 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:13.480 for their content, and so we do the best that 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.560 we can. I'm excited though, that there's so much coming 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.280 up on the pod. So not only will you and 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:23.520 Lauren be recapping Ultimate Girls Trip starting next month, which 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:27.560 will be very exciting. I will be very excited about 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:31.520 this because you get to dive even further into the 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:38.000 Real Housewives universe, but we will also be recapping the 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.560 new Harry Jousey show on Netflix because we have a 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:45.720 Bachelor Nation Bachelor Nation alum on that show, which we're 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:49.240 going to get into today in headlines. We've also got 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.000 the new book club that we are doing on the 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.920 pod with Kaylin Bell. So a lot of really exciting, 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.000 fun content on the pod. 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:03.560 I think this Kaylen Bell book club idea is fantastic 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.559 and I think it's like a niche podcast that's going 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:11.280 to really that people are really going to enjoy hearing 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.600 from her. She's an avid reader. It's one of the 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.880 reasons her, my wife and her are such good friends 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.040 is because they both love to read and explore books, 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:25.040 talk through books and so and Kaylin's great at it. 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.480 So I'm excited for that. We are going to be 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.600 breaking down a lot here on the almost Famous podcast, 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:36.800 because Bachelor Nation continues to expand outward from the Bachelor 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:40.360 Universe verse, and I'm wondering whether, before we dive in 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.119 the headlines, if we're going to see more of this 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:47.880 since The Bachelor Bachelorette doesn't really seem to be airing 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:49.200 anytime soon. 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:53.080 I mean, definitely not airing anytime soon. I think we've 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:57.000 all kind of given up on the TFP thing of 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:57.399 it all. 0:02:58.160 --> 0:02:59.680 I mean, I know, I have what do you mean 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:00.000 by that? 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:00.919 Do you think it's done? 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.359 I don't think it's going to air. I don't think 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:04.040 it's going to air. 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.400 That's just based on everything that's happening right now. 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.680 I don't think it's going to air, nor do I 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:11.600 think it should air. 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:15.320 With how she is mentally doing, I think that the 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.280 focus needs to be getting better, and I think that 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.880 that's what she's taking steps to do. I do have 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.359 friends on the casting team right now that are actively 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:24.639 casting for The Bachelor. 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.360 You're twenty thirty, the next Bachelor. 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.720 I mean, and we never addressed it fully on the pod, 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:37.920 but obviously my talking about Robert Irwin. 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:39.480 That ship has sailed. 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:44.000 That guy's got a girlfriend now, rumored, So that's not happening, 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.520 which is kind of a bummer. But yeah, as far 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.200 as I know, the peeps that I know that are 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.560 working on this next season of The Bachelor, they're going 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.720 full throttle. They will not tell me any sort of 0:03:55.760 --> 0:04:00.520 details obviously about what's going on, but that. 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:04.360 Is going to be rumored to start filming this fall. 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:06.640 Well, I kind of, I mean, I hope so right, 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:11.040 I do hope the Bachelor franchise can pick itself back 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.040 up again. So well, I guess what we could tell 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.920 the listeners is we all hope that The Bachelor comes 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.000 back full throttle, ready to go again, and we'll be 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:24.960 tracking probably within the headlines episodes, what we're hearing on, 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.440 maybe potential air dates, or who's getting casted, or who's 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.720 being rumored to be the next lead of the show. Heather, 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.279 question for you that you haven't been asked, I'm going 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.000 to put you on the spot here. Can the listeners 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:41.720 expect us to also break down Chris Harrison's new dating show. 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.240 Well, I think we should put it out there if 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:49.239 people are interested and excited about that, because I think 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:54.760 I think we should. We're talking about other Bachelor adjacent people. 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.360 I know, like Hannah Godwin is going to be on 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:01.440 that new Netflix show at some point whenever airs. You know, 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:07.440 we didn't cover Whitney on in the City on Bravo. 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:12.479 That one felt to me personally a little convoluted because 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.640 you guys don't watch Summer House, so it's a spin 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.080 off of Summerhouse, so there was like a lot to unpack. 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.479 I don't watch Summerhouse, and even me prepping for that 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.640 interview was kind of just being like, who are these people? 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:25.320 What's going on? 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.880 But when it's a fresh start for everybody to jump 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.719 in and be a new viewer all at the same time, 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:35.200 I think it's a lot easier for people to follow 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:39.479 and jump into. So I'm down to watch the Chris 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.200 Harrison Show and recap it and see what it's all about. 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:46.960 But yeah, our listeners should, you know, tell us what 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.120 they think, and you know, Ben, it's a good thing 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:52.359 to bring up as well that the pod has a 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.719 hotline now if people want to call in and give 0:05:56.000 --> 0:06:00.120 their feedback and you know, questions. 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.880 Or ever it seems dangerous. 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:06.120 It does seem dangerous, but also exciting because we want 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:07.960 to hear from you guys. So it's eight four four 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:12.039 five almost. That's eight four four five almost. And also 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.200 we'll you know, put it in the show notes. But 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.640 call us, you know, leave a message. Do you want 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.400 to hear us recap the Chris Harrison Show. 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.440 Yeah, that'd be great eating show. You know, if anything, 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.800 it will it will at least be fun to break 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.760 down with him. I'm assuming and I can almost guarantee 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.000 he'll be coming on the show to talk about it 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.720 in depth for the episode airs or before his first 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.400 episode air. So we'll listen to Chris there. Hey, let's 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:41.360 start breaking down headlines. Heather big news. I found out 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.520 about this a few weeks ago. Let me tell you 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:48.160 this guy is working hard at his craft. We were 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:51.440 at a golf tournament recently in Maine, and in the 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.840 midst of the shenanigans that exists at a golf tournament 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:59.800 with buddies, he was also working hard to perfect lines 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:05.599 and make sure he was in his element. Joey graz 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.960 a day. I just also want to mention here in 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:13.000 case Joey listens, I did beat Wells and Joey at 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:14.720 this golf tournament, and so I just want to make 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:18.440 sure he is clearly hearing that. In Maine, at the 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.160 Drive for Kids. Had to make a putt on the 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.720 eighteenth hole to beat him, and I did. That doesn't 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:26.720 always happen, so I want to make sure it's known 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.160 as we also celebrate him because he is making his 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:35.520 acting debut in a brand new holiday rom com. This 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:40.280 holiday rom com, Heather, has some stars within it outside 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.680 of Joey even tell us about this. 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:47.920 Yeah, So it's being reported by the Hollywood Reporter that 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.800 this is going to be for the Roku channel and 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.640 it's going to be called The Holiday Spark, which will 0:07:54.680 --> 0:08:01.000 star Joey alongside Jamie Chung. And according to the outlet, 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:05.040 it says that The Holiday Spark follows what happens when 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:12.520 perpetually single firefighter Dean played by Joey, enlist children's book 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:17.320 illustrator Laura played by Jamie to help plan an epic 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:23.000 holiday party for his firehouse. Throughout the planning process, they 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.760 begin to question their views on romance and the possibility 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:33.040 of love at first Spark, Joey said that acting in 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.760 his first feature film has been a dream come true 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:39.000 and such an exciting new chapter for him. He says 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.160 that The Holiday Spark is filled with so much heart 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:45.000 he feels incredibly lucky that this is the project he 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:48.520 gets to make his debut with. And you know what's 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:52.400 funny is he's not the only one that is in 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.720 Bachelor Nation that is going to be in a holiday 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.800 movie this year. We reported this kind of a couple 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:00.719 of months ago, but Justin Glaze is also going to 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:04.360 be in a holiday movie this year with Whitney from 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:08.120 Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. So I would you have 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.280 ever gotten into the acting thing if they called you 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:15.040 up and said, hey, Ben, maybe it's like Ben, we 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:19.760 want you to play like a heightened version of yourself? 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:21.319 Or I did do that? 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:22.679 What what were you in? 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:26.720 I still get a check. I get like a twenty 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:30.000 three cent residual every few months. It was called Famous 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.720 and in Love and it was on free Form and 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:38.360 I played myself as this person from the Midwest moved 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.920 to Los Angeles to start acting and then they were 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:45.040 running into you know, celebrities at the time. I guess 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.360 I could say along the way in LA and so 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.200 I did. I was in an episode of that. Yeah, 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.600 I would have done it. I mean, I think it's fun. 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:54.280 I think it's challenging. 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:55.640 I do. 0:09:56.080 --> 0:10:00.000 I do think it is a something that Joey obviously loved. 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:01.240 I mean I saw it, like I said, I saw 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:05.040 him working on it. My question, It's not uncommon for 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.120 me to get a phone call from a past lead, 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:08.720 and I will not say that Joey did this, because 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:10.520 I think Joey found out a way to be fine 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.640 post show and to do his own thing. But other 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.040 leads have called me and said, Okay, as I look 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.640 at my career now I have this job, do I 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:20.800 continue in my job that I've always had, or do 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.600 I start anew? Do I try to start hosting? Do I? 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.319 And you know, we always going to talk through I 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:30.200 guess like career planning with some of them. I've never 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:34.320 put acting into that conversation because I don't I've never 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:39.200 seen a reality star make the transition successfully. 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.720 It's a really good point that you're making, because I 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.640 would say that it's only been in the last couple 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.760 of years that we're actually seeing the transition has happened 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:53.720 for reality stars. But it usually takes longer and there's 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.960 usually got to be more distance between them and the show. 0:10:57.040 --> 0:11:01.400 But we are seeing that transition happen quicker and quicker. 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.400 And I think that as somebody on the casting side. 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:06.839 I used to hear that all the time, like. 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:08.760 Oh, I don't want to do it. I want to 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:12.280 be an actor. And I'd be like you can be though, and. 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:15.319 People would be like no, my agent says you no, reality, 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.720 it's over. And it's like I could come up with 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.760 a whole list for you right now. And I did 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:25.640 this for this reason of reality stars that have made 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:30.960 the transition into acting and have had super successful careers, 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.360 like you know, somebody that was on American Idol a 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:38.160 couple like years ago, was like in The Color Purple 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:42.319 a couple of years ago, which was like nominated for awards, 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:46.160 like Academy Award winning actress Emma Stone was on a 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.920 reality show. Like yes, everybody is really shocked when I 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.679 say that. So it's like there's lots and lots of 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:54.720 people that are able to make the transition. And I 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.560 kind of like love that we're seeing this surgeons right 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:02.840 now of like not all our reality stars becoming like 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:06.560 correspondence on these red carpets, you know, and stuff like that, 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.880 but they're also making that leap into acting, and so 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:13.679 are TikTokers. Quite honestly, we're seeing TikTokers also making the 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:15.160 jump to the big screen. 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:16.800 So I think it's cool. 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.720 I think it's cool, and I think, as I said, 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.560 it would be different if somebody did it didn't feel 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.560 like they were working at it and didn't feel like 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.720 they wanted it and didn't see it as a legitimate path. 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.000 But Joey, I could tell, was like, Hey, I don't 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.559 know if this is my future, but I don't want 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.040 to throw it out the window if it is. 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.320 And how are you going to know if you don't try? 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.599 Good for him and it's cool, We're going to have 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.440 to obviously have him on sure, you know, to talk 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.760 about it, because he's also got you know, I think 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.480 Dancing with the Stars stuff going on this summer as well. 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.360 He does he does the Dancing with the Stars Cohn 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.440 or whatever they're calling it. It's coming up in just 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.600 a few well just a few days, honestly. 0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:58.080 Yep. 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.280 Another you know, Joey can't make the golf trip this 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:19.640 year because of dance con and obviously Joe, who usually attends, 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.640 cannot either because of the recent announcement that he had 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:26.280 that he'll be having surgery. The headline is that we 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.720 talked about Joe and his announcement and his diagnosis and 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:32.440 what is going to be going on with him here 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:36.880 in just a few short days. But he in preparation 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.760 for it, just got a new haircut ahead of this surgery. 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.120 I Heather think he looks good. 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.640 I was literally gonna say, what a way to rock 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.560 a buzz cut, like you will you look real good 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:49.679 with that new haircut. 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.760 But yeah, he posted a video. 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.320 To Instagram and he kind of like takes off his 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.840 sunglasses and he looks at the camera and then he 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.760 like proceeds to walk away and he says, might as 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:04.840 well give them easy access in the caption. So I mean, yes, 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:10.200 he's prepping for this upcoming surgery, you know, for this 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:15.040 early stage brain tumor that he's been diagnosed with. So yeah, Joe, 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.040 great to keep the spirits high, to be smiling, to 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:23.360 be sharing that on social media as scary, and you know, 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.880 they kind of went into this on their podcast about 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:32.840 that this surgery is very dangerous and scary for them. 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:34.960 It's serious, It's said. 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:39.360 Serena said on their podcast that the tumor is slow growing, 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.920 but the likelihood of it growing into something aggressive or 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:48.120 problematic is very high. So I love the fact that 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:53.000 they are being open and honest, but also you know, 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.920 trying to have a little bit of levity where they can, 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.120 because that is important too. 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.480 I think when going through scary stuff one. 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.760 Hundred percent and we'll be falling along. Obviously we love 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:07.360 Joe and Serena here and no one personally will be 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:11.440 falling along with the updates as obviously his surgery takes 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:15.960 place and then as his recovery takes place during headlines, 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:17.760 and so if you want to stay up to date 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:19.560 on that, we'll stay up to date on that for 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:24.280 you and communicate things here the best we can. Heather, 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:28.239 I've been seeing this name pop up all over conversations 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.080 with Bachelor Nation. I mean, we broke down that Ashley, 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:35.120 our beloved co host here, used to be this person's 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:41.880 like babysitter, and now we're seeing Jenny McCarthy recall pitching 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:46.720 herself to be the greatest bachelorette ever after her divorce. 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.320 That's the headline. Jenny McCarthy recalls pitching herself to be 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:54.800 the next or greatest bachelorette after her divorce to Donnie Wahlberg. 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.760 No, no, no, not her divorce to Donnie Wahlberg. She's 0:15:57.760 --> 0:15:58.760 still married to him. 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.880 Oh I didn't know she was. Oh was she married? 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:04.360 Was was it Jim Carrey? 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:05.080 No? 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.840 No, no, that was her boyfriend. 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:13.560 So first she was married to a director named John 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:15.320 Asher for six. 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.960 Oh no, all right, never mind, So she's still married 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:18.560 to Donnie. 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:22.560 Yes, this guy a headline in itself if her Yeah. 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:27.480 Please don't clip that out. But my question is, what 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:29.480 in the word were they thinking? Like? Why did it 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.960 get not? Why did not happen? Can you answer that question? 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.040 First of all, there's so much that I have to 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:39.840 unpack with this. Okay, I did not know that Ashley 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:41.840 was Jenny's nanny. 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.440 I'm assuming you knew that because you're never. 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.120 Heard it before, never knew it. 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:50.000 How was that possible that she has never told either 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.640 of us that that's who she used to work with. 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:55.000 I have no idea. I don't understand. 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.600 We need to grill her about that the next time 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:01.520 we see her, because what the heck Ashley? So yeah, 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.560 she said when she was on the Bachelor Happy Hour 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:10.000 podcast that she said, I called my agent and I said, 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:11.760 I want you to call them, and I want you 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.320 to pitch me as the bachelorette. I want you to 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:18.040 tell them that Jenny McCarthy from MTV singled out the 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.880 number one dating show of all time, is single now 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.879 and wants to be on the show. First of all, 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:28.040 that is a hilarious thing that she would have done. So, 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.399 like I said, she was married for six years until 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:33.679 her divorce in two thousand and five, so it was 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.760 probably around there. She goes on to say, I had 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:40.160 no fear, but I was also genuinely looking for love. 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.360 I was like, I would make the greatest bachelorette of 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:48.280 all time. We don't want they and then the show 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:52.639 said we don't want famous people on the show. It 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:56.280 would have been the most ultimate Bachelor Nation season of 0:17:56.320 --> 0:18:01.440 all time, she says. And then she goes, I would 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:04.200 have had so much fun with those boys. I would 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.840 have made out with all of them. I would have 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.720 just been like so awesome on the show. And she 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.520 goes on to say, like I'm an og Bachelor Nation girl. 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:18.520 So the reason why I love it is there's a hopefulness, 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:19.879 there's an awkwardness. 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:21.119 Even though it's on TV. 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.879 Things are polished, but you can't escape the awkwardness of 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:28.520 the first meetings and the first date. And you know, 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:31.879 she does say in this interview that she feels like 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:34.600 they are kind of missing out on the celebrity version. 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:39.280 They can literally call it the celebrity version of the Bachelorette, 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:43.879 because I think they would really do well. They've got 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:47.159 other celebrity versions of everything else. Why would they not 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:51.000 do a celebrity version of the Bachelorette. So obviously that 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:55.800 would have been hilarious. Jenny is so funny and so hot. 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:59.239 I mean, like still now, she's been hot for like 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.880 thirty years, so that would have been extremely funny to see, 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:06.480 I think. But it's just it's funny how things change, 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:10.280 right because now clearly they've changed their minds on the 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:14.440 celebrity celebrity adjacent thing, and you know, with the decision 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:19.399 to Cass Taylor in the lead, this is this. 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:22.760 I just like that. Ginny's popping up honestly all over 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:24.800 backs doination like this is really fun for me. And 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:27.240 we do have to make a note to ask Ashley 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:30.080 about this. You really never heard of this before. 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:32.680 I was like, oh, I understand why, she's probably never 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.520 told me. But I just was under the assumption when 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:37.679 I saw those headlines that oh, Ben has to have 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:38.600 known this story. 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.560 I wish I could speak to it. I can't, Ah Hey, 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:44.480 we have two more headlines for you, both of which 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:47.760 are fantastic, one of which we'll be answering the question 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.359 that Heather kind of teased earlier on who is joining 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:54.040 Let's marry Harry. But before we get to that, let's 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:59.800 talk about Daisy Kent. Daisy kent't is has a stunning 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:03.160 bridal shower. We don't expect anything different and some other 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:05.240 Bachelor Nation stars attended. 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:07.040 First of all, we love Daisy. 0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:10.640 Obviously, she's part of our crew over here. 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:14.040 She's got that Dirty Rush podcast that we love. But yeah, 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:14.600 they are. 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:19.200 Her and Thor are getting closer to their December wedding, which. 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:22.119 Is crazy. That is very close. 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:26.800 And over the weekend this past weekend might have been 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:30.959 the weekend before she celebrated, you know, her bridal shower 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:35.880 in Minnesota, and she had like a fun boat day 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:39.600 on the water and then was joined by loved ones 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:43.840 at a beautiful venue. It took place inside a clear 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:47.679 tented structure with floral chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, and 0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:49.720 the theme seemed to be kind of like a garden 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.720 party kind of thing, which is very on trend because 0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:56.240 that was you know, Taylor and Travis's wedding theme as well, 0:20:56.359 --> 0:21:00.359 supposedly the garden. So she had her fellow season twenty 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:06.120 eight Bachelor Nation stars Chrisa Perez and Autumn there with 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:10.280 her and they were like all over social media. Chrisa 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:12.760 posted a photo of the three of them as well 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:16.160 as a video of everyone dancing and wrote best time 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:20.879 showering our bride with the daisy emoji. And then Thor 0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:24.919 gifted his bride a beautiful bouquet of flowers during the 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:27.280 event and the two posed for a. 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:31.439 Few pictures together. So very sweet little day for the 0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:32.040 two of them. 0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:36.440 We love daisy as you mentioned, and pump for the 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.000 two of them. I just I have a feeling their 0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:40.480 wedding is going to be insane. 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:45.679 I mean, the freaking engagement pictures were insane. Those like 0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:52.280 winter like cowgirl kind of. It's just so cool. It's 0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:53.480 gonna be cool for sure. 0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:09.719 Final headline Lauren Hollinger. Now, if you don't know who 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:12.399 we're talking about here, Heather can break that down. But 0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:17.680 Lauren Hollinger, who has appeared within the Bachelor franchise, joins 0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:22.320 new reality series Let's Marry Harry on Netflix. 0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:25.560 Yeah, so she's also from season twenty eight The same 0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:27.960 season as Daisy. 0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:31.119
