1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 2: Hey everyone, welcome to the Almost Famous Podcast. Today we 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 2: are going to give you all the latest news in 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 2: the Bachelor universe in headlines, and because Ben is away 6 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 2: on a business trip not a fun trip, I have 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 2: pretty sure Heather joining me to chat all about them. 8 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 2: Our first headline this week is all about Gary's book, 9 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 2: which is I don't know it came out last week, right, 10 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: and the sale. I don't know what the sales are 11 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 2: like because people don't seem to be very supportive of Gary, 12 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 2: that's for sure. The comments are not going in his 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: favor on social media, and between interviewing him and Theresa 14 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 2: both oh, I know, I just don't know what's the truth, okay. 15 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 2: And then there's she was on Deer Shandy that podcast 16 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 2: this week too, so she's telling her side there or 17 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 2: listen to both interviews. Come to the deduction yourself. I think, 18 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 2: to be fair, Theresa should probably come to our podcast. 19 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 2: I know that she's gonna be on the finale of 20 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 2: Golden Bachelor, and I'm wondering if she's gonna have a 21 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 2: little moment to say her piece on that stage, because 22 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 2: why have her just sit in the audience. I don't know. 23 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 2: It's a wasted opportunity if you ask me anyway. The 24 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 2: first headline has to do with Gary's relationship with his 25 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 2: ex runner up Leslie, because he has a whole chapter 26 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 2: on her in his book as well. So Leslie was asked, 27 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 2: have I read the book. I have not read it. 28 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: I have read excerpts from it. I don't know if 29 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 2: I want to read it. She says, I have read 30 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: the chapter about me. He actually sent me that chapter 31 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: a long time ago. He just wanted to get my 32 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 2: okay on it, and I thought that was very respectful. 33 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 2: I read it, and to be honest, he has nothing 34 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: to say bad about me. When that is fantastic. I 35 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 2: think the red flag that waves here is that car. 36 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 2: He was like respectful enough to say, hey, Leslie, I 37 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 2: would love for you to read the chapter about you, 38 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 2: which is really nice. But he did not respect his 39 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: ex wife in a similar way because he said, I 40 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: don't really care if she's offended by the book, she 41 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: should be scared to read it. It's just a totally 42 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,399 Speaker 2: different human. 43 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 3: Totally different. And can I just say, as somebody who 44 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 3: did have a copy of the book, if he wanted 45 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 3: to send it to Teresa in advance. He would have 46 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 3: had to send her the entire manuscript because she mentioned 47 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 3: throughout the entire book. Yeah, what I remember him saying 48 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 3: about Leslie specifically in the book was basically that he 49 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 3: ultimately made his decision when they went to Fantasy Suites 50 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 3: and he really couldn't get past the fact that she'd 51 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 3: already been divorced a couple of times. He wasn't being 52 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 3: judgmental of that. He just felt like she wasn't ready 53 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 3: to get married again, and he wanted that, And so 54 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: he says in the book, is like one of his 55 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 3: ultimate kind of deciding factors. 56 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 2: Interesting. She also comments on the fight that's going on. 57 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 2: She said, I told Teresa this, I will support my friend. 58 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: I adore her, I love her, but this is not 59 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 2: my fight. I don't know if you know they're in 60 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: a fight. They're in a fight. She goes, I don't 61 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 2: want to be cold. It's just not my thing. I 62 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 2: will support her, I will listen to her, and I 63 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: will give her advice. I want to be sort of 64 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: like switcherl in this and then Teresa her big like 65 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: quote on the Dear Shandy podcast is that she says, 66 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 2: you know, to Gary through that podcast, you did me 67 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 2: no favors by marrying a woman that you did not 68 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: want to marry. You should have called off the wedding. 69 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: No matter that we were on TV. It didn't matter. 70 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 2: This is this was our lives. That is kind of 71 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 2: what I insinuated to Gary on the podcast. I was like, 72 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 2: did you guys talk about how you had cold feet? 73 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: And he said they kind of did, but they just 74 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: went with it anyway. 75 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 3: It takes two to tango. She could have called it 76 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 3: off as well. I'm not not here being a Gary supporter. 77 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 3: People stop binly not interested in either of them and 78 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 3: how they are handling. 79 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 2: I'm also remaining Switzerland in this, I think because the 80 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,679 Speaker 2: truth is always somewhere in between, isn't that usually right? However, 81 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: can never condone what I know that they talked about 82 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 2: on headlines last week, which was Gary saying that he's 83 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 2: going to chop her up and put her dead body 84 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 2: in the shed. You know, I really tried to mull 85 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,679 Speaker 2: this over. I was like, Jared ever say, if Jared 86 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 2: and I ever said that to each other, would it 87 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 2: be taken as a joke. I'm gonna kill maybe if 88 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 2: it was simply I'm overanalyzing maybe right now, but actually 89 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 2: I don't think I'm overanalyzing. I think if you go, 90 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 2: I'm gonna put your dead body in there, that is 91 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 2: one thing. It definitely wouldn't naturally come out of either 92 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 2: of our mouths. It's just like, not not funny. But 93 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: I think it's the details. The fact that he said 94 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: he was going to kill her and chop her up. 95 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: The chop her up part, he's really ef thing weird. 96 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 3: The whole thing is weird, and I think we can 97 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 3: all agree that it's two people who were not a match, 98 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 3: who did not speak the same kind of language, in 99 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 3: that sense of love language. What they wanted, whatever it was, 100 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 3: I don't know if they got hooked by the bachelor bubble. 101 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 3: It sounds like, you know, from what Gary told you 102 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 3: and Ben, he really was determined to leave that experience 103 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 3: with a wife he didn't under stand, like possibly leaving 104 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 3: it solo. I have my own theories about why that is, 105 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,679 Speaker 3: but it just they were not a match. They should 106 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 3: not have done this. 107 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 2: Absolutely not final comment on this. Why did we have 108 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: to get that quote after he was done with his 109 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 2: press store. I would have loved to ask him about 110 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 2: that one. 111 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 3: Of course, we would have loved him to ask him 112 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 3: about that. He has been completely silent obviously. 113 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, ever since that PR team was like, we're wrapping 114 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 2: this up. 115 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 3: He did his interviews all back to back to back, 116 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 3: and then he was like peace, going back to my 117 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 3: retirement mode or planning his wedding or whatever he's doing. 118 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 3: But he is literally not going to respond to this. 119 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 3: If he does, it's gonna be like years from now 120 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 3: or something. I think. But we're not going to hear 121 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 3: from Gary for a while. 122 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: He's never going to show his fix in pubblic again. 123 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 4: Oh congratulations, you finally dump that dude. Now you're ready 124 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 4: to listen to I Do Part two. 125 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 2: Listen to I Do Part two on the iHeartRadio. 126 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 4: App, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. 127 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 2: Former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowski is responding to criticism that she's 128 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: too thin. Somebody said, who knows if this is really 129 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 2: a big deal. We don't know how many messages Ali 130 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 2: gets like this. She said, girl, my body is amazing, 131 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 2: just like yours. Because somebody said your too thin, My 132 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 2: weight is always fluctuating, as well as my bloat and 133 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 2: how my clothes fit in all of that and it's fine. 134 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 2: I'm fine. I try not to think too much about 135 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 2: my size. If anything, I mostly just focus on how 136 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 2: I feel. And lately, more than ever, I've noticed that 137 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 2: when I eat poor, I feel bad, and when I 138 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 2: eat better, I feel better. And that is truly what 139 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 2: I'm focused on at this point in my life. She 140 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: then showed like her jiggly belly buttoned up in jeans, 141 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 2: and she said, this is my belly and all of 142 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 2: its jiggly cuteness. I understand the jiggly belly as a mom. 143 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 2: Like It's like when I stand up, my stomach's pretty flat, 144 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 2: looks good, and it's like the second I sit down, 145 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,679 Speaker 2: it just like falls over. And I have gotten plenty 146 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 2: of things that have helped it out. Thermage amazing, m 147 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 2: sculpt amazing. But your stomach will never go back to 148 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 2: how it was pre kids unless you actually go under 149 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 2: the knife. But I will say those two treatments that 150 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: I got highly highly recommend if you just feel like 151 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: you need a little tightening that's non invasive already. Well, 152 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: that's kind of my my thoughts on that. I don't 153 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 2: really have any thoughts on this. It's like people ask 154 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: me all the time. Everybody's different, That's what it is. 155 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 2: It's like everybody is different. 156 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 3: But it's almost twenty twenty six, and I'm going to say, 157 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 3: is why are we ever leaving comments about somebody's body 158 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 3: on the internet that we don't know. It's insane. Just 159 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 3: stop people, just stop doing that. 160 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, she must have gotten enough to say something. 161 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 3: I mean, or they caught her on a bad day 162 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 3: and she was just like, you know, I can't take 163 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 3: this anymore. It's like, we don't know what people are 164 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 3: going through, and the last thing we should be doing 165 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 3: is writing a comment to a stranger talking about their body. 166 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 3: Like it's just people be nice. 167 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. Also, this person that said you're so thin, she 168 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 2: said she may be showing off, so that makes it 169 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 2: a little bit sassier, rude. 170 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 3: Just yeah, you know, you never know what somebody is 171 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 3: going through. And she, yes, is a public figure, but 172 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 3: it doesn't mean she's a public target. And I just 173 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 3: wish that people would be more mind about the things 174 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 3: that they type and they write, because they're just as 175 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 3: harmful as things that can be said. And if you're 176 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 3: about to write a nasty comment, really think hard and true. 177 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 3: If you would actually say that out loud to the 178 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 3: person if they were standing right in front of you, 179 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 3: because the answer is most likely you wouldn't. 180 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, so true. Our next headline is totally cringe and 181 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say it. We're going to be honest 182 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 2: about this one. 183 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 3: Wait, I'm buy exactly the same thing. By the way, 184 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 3: I was like, this is weird. 185 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: I may have shared this to a person or two 186 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 2: and been like, eh, sorry, okay, uh yeah. Jason Tartik 187 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: says that he ran into Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey 188 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 2: on their New York City date. He uses the caption 189 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 2: I just met Taylor Swift as the cover to is 190 00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 2: reel and it's obviously clickbait. So then he goes on saying, well, 191 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: actually I didn't meet her, but she was sitting at 192 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 2: the table right here in the booth next to me, 193 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 2: and she was like and she was there in the 194 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: booth next to me for two hours and there's like 195 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 2: less than eighty five people in this room. He's trying 196 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 2: to describe like how intimate the setting is, and he goes, 197 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: I was so closer, you know, like this far. He 198 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 2: like shows it was unbelievable. First and foremost, what I 199 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 2: thought was cool was the privacy in the room. There's 200 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 2: no pictures and nobody went up to that table, and 201 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 2: it was a little disheartening. It kind of made me 202 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 2: curious knowing that the privacy that they had in this room, 203 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 2: but the second that they walked out of the club 204 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 2: or the restaurant or whatever, there was gonna be paparazzi. 205 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: Like he felt bad that they were going to have 206 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 2: to go endure the paparazzi after this this dinner, okay, 207 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: and then he goes, But like the total two hours, 208 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 2: I was just taking it in her electricity, her glow, 209 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 2: her light in the room. You just can't stop looking 210 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 2: at her. She had on the iconic red lipstick, and 211 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 2: she had the watch and the new ring absolutely blinging. 212 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 2: It's just like, Jason, ah lord, you know how much 213 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 2: cooler you would have been if you didn't share all this, 214 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 2: if you just like randomly on your podcast were like 215 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 2: I actually sat next to Tiller Swift one time at dinner. 216 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 2: She seemed very nice. She had like a beautiful aura. 217 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 2: That would be cool. That's cool. You know, it's not 218 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 2: cool posting that you sat at an exclusive restaurant with 219 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: eighty five other people in the room. It was just like, oh, 220 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 2: I can't believe this. Then he said she was just 221 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 2: like so humble and real and down to earth and 222 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 2: so pure. There was just like some light.

But 228 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 3: like when I then I saw this and I was 229 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 3: reading it, I was like, this is embarrassing. This is 230 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 3: like I'm sorry. Like I live in Los Angeles, right, 231 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 3: so I hear these kinds of things from like regular people. 232 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 3: Oh I'm friends with so and so.

In 267 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: this reel, he has clips of him interviewing a paparazzi 268 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 2: asking how much the photos of Taylor Swift are going 269 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 2: to go for? 270 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 3: No? 271 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, And I understand that this is Jason trying 272 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 2: to bring like his business component into his brand is 273 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 2: all either real, hey, guess what I'm okay with this. 274 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 2: You one, don't say that you disrespect them, because that 275 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 2: just doesn't seem genuine. You can say, like, hey, I 276 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 2: happen to be outside of a restaurant that Taylor Swift 277 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 2: is eating at tonight. I am I wanted to talk 278 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 2: to a paparazzi to see like how lucrative this business is. 279 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 2: And then he did a little Q and A with them. 280 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 2: That would have been fine, that would not have been 281 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 2: as cringing to me. It was the fact that like 282 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 2: he just overly compliments her, makes her seem like an 283 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 2: actual like I like, I don't. Of course, she's an 284 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 2: icon in pop culture history, but I mean, like she 285 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 2: makes she's making her seem like an an idol, like 286 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 2: a religious idol, and then he goes and does this 287 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 2: all together. It's just yucky. 288 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 3: It's cringe. Jason, don't do it again. 289 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 2: Oh man, I'm so sorry. I think that I'm sorry. 290 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a little sorry, but I'm not really sorry. 291 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 2: I just usually not that harsh on people. I just 292 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 2: found that this one was like a little bit and 293 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 2: just felt. 294 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 3: It is It's exactly what you said at the beginning. 295 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 3: It's clickbaity. It doesn't feel genuine. It's like if we 296 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 3: knew him to be like a gigantic Swifty. 297 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: Well, that's his whole thing is he's trying to lean 298 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 2: into being a Swifty right now. Like he just makes 299 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 2: it seem like he became a huge Schiller Swift fan 300 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 2: like two or three months ago. And he keeps doing 301 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 2: reels on her because I think that he knows that 302 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 2: they do well. And of course I'm not shaming that 303 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 2: I do reels that I think will do well too. 304 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 2: That is part of our business. I think that there 305 00:16:47,880 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 2: is just something about this one you know, we will 306 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 2: move on to his ex Caitlin Brissot, who is going 307 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 2: to return to Dancing with the Stars for the twentieth anniversary. 308 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 2: She and Joey are both going to go hit the stage. 309 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 2: It's going to be called a relay Dance Round, and 310 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 2: former Mirror World champions are going to get paired up 311 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 2: and they're going to dance with current competitors.

Oh my gosh, Yes, that's right, Okay, 315 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 2: I was sorry. 316 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: I was. 317 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,959 Speaker 2: She's gonna be paired with Indie Richter, who is like 318 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 2: a dark horse in this whole season, Like everybody's obsessed 319 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 2: with the fact that, like he's gotten this far. Nobody's 320 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 2: really sure is he good? Though? Because I was. I 321 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 2: was actually on a here's my name drop moment. I 322 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 2: was on Stars on Mars with Indie Richter, and he 323 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: and I almost died together. We were on a private plane. 324 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 2: We were on a private plane in the middle of 325 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 2: effing nowhere, Australia, you guys. I did not see a 326 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 2: house on the ground for two like an hour and 327 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 2: a half in the air, and there's this guy is 328 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 2: putting our luggage in the backup. I'm already very scared 329 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 2: that it's a private plane and he's putting his our 330 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 2: luggage in the back of a private plane. A four seater, 331 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 2: A four seater, not a Luxy four seater. What was 332 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 2: very scary about this private plane ride was that there 333 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 2: was no co pilot. Okay, so I think I was 334 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 2: with Andy Richard at a time that possibly we could 335 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 2: have died because nobody would have been able to fly 336 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 2: the plane if this guy had a heart attack. 337 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 3: Maybe Andy Richter knows how to fly a. 338 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 2: Plane, maybe he does. But anyway, Caitlin will be dancing 339 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 2: with him as part of this, and I know that 340 00:18:55,480 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 2: she's rehearsing with Sasha, which is Jen's X. So much Bachelor, 341 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 2: so many Bachelor connections and ties, a. 342 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 3: Lot, a lot. I'm excited though, because you know, Caitlin 343 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 3: is obviously a phenomenal dancer. Joey crushed it last season, 344 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 3: and Joey's also doing the Dancing with the Stars podcast, 345 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 3: and you know, the season just seems to be really 346 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 3: really crushing it with the audience. 347 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 2: People are like, yeah, people are obsessed this season. I 348 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 2: have never gotten into Dancing with the Stars, and I 349 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 2: feel bad because I've had friends on it. I just 350 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, guys, I watch your dance and then 351 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 2: I basically turn it off. 352 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 3: I will say this season, the Dancing of the Stars 353 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 3: has really like leveled up. Like Alex Earl's fantastic Whitney 354 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 3: from you know, Secret Lives is fantastic, But usually we 355 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 3: get more Andy Richters, we get these people that have 356 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 3: a background, and so I think that's what's kind of 357 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 3: setting him apart this season, and what people are rooting 358 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 3: for is like his level of dance was not on 359 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 3: that level and it is increasing as the week by. 360 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 3: But yeah, people, that's how the show used to be. 361 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 3: We used to have like ten Andy Richters and maybe one. 362 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 2: Gid Yeah, so you know, yeah, it was like the 363 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 2: first round of American Idol auditions exactly. Yeah, and then 364 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 2: they get old those auditions. Our final headline of the 365 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 2: week is is Ari Lyondyke documents his last car race. So, 366 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 2: as you guys know, Ari and Lauren had their fourth 367 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 2: child this year, a baby girl, Livy, and just recently 368 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 2: Ari decided that it was time to end his love 369 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 2: for racing. He said this weekend, I joke to Vegas 370 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 2: for my last sprint car race. After going back and forth, 371 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 2: I just knew in my heart that pursuing my goal 372 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 2: of winning races was just going to be a huge commitment. 373 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 2: And I was like, interesting. So it was a huge 374 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 2: love of a goal, big commitment. But he doesn't want 375 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 2: to take it on because he says that putting everything 376 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 2: on the line for these last few tents wasn't something 377 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 2: that I could do in that car, and I was like, Okay, 378 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 2: I don't understand what the heck that means. I was 379 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 2: just thinking about the Brad Pitt movie. Well it was 380 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 2: it was good. Really, I like that movie F one 381 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 2: f one. I learned things from that movie, and I 382 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 2: was trying to use the education here. But Ari went 383 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,959 Speaker 2: on to describe a little bit more. He actually says, 384 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 2: it's hard to describe when someone hasn't actually a different one, 385 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 2: but you're holding onto a one thousand horsepower rocket and 386 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 2: the risk is huge if something breaks or a pass 387 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 2: doesn't go as planned and you end up in the wall. 388 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 2: I'm just in a different place in life right now, 389 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 2: and that's not a bad thing. So I totally understand 390 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 2: he's basically just not risking his He's deciding to not 391 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 2: risk his life anymore because he has four kids. 392 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 3: I'm curious, was there anything that you or Jared gave 393 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 3: up when you guys started kids, like or anything that 394 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 3: you've I don't know, Like some people are interested in, 395 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 3: like going skydiving, but then the second they have kids, 396 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 3: they're like, I'm gonna rethink that skydiving thing. 397 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not really risk takers, like physically, so not really. 398 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 2: I think that like both of us would we both 399 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 2: probably would go skydiving, but we probably both won't now. 400 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 2: Kind of like that, I wouldn't say that we really 401 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 2: gave up anything. I wish I could have a better, 402 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 2: more interesting answer for you. 403 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 3: I totally understand Jared. 404 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 2: Wants to ride a motorcycle. He's always wanted to be 405 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 2: Tom Cruise on a motorcycle, and I've always said, no, 406 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 2: you're not allowed to do that, and he especially is 407 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 2: not allowed to do that now because my dad, as 408 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 2: a doctor, calls them suicycles. 409 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 3: Did you so?

You were going to be 413 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 3: in so much trouble and then yeah, ended up marrying 414 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 3: her husband had a motorcycle, and then as soon as 415 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 3: they had a child, the motorcycle was sold. 416 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 2: Really okay, good, good, Sorry to everybody out there.
