Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hey guys, welcome to the Almost Famous podcast. Today we
are breaking down headlines. Ben in my schedule, I tell you,
has been all over the place. We have not been
aligning lately much the past few months, and we are
sorry about that. We're working on it. But today it
is me doing headlines with our producer Heather again and
(00:27):
I hope you guys enjoyed last week's headlines. We had
a good time together and we plan on doing it
again right now. Our first headline of the week. Oh,
it's a little juicy, Juliana. I'm sorry to Juliana aka
Grant's X. I don't know how to say your last name, Pascarosa.
It is a beautiful last name, Pascarosa, right, Why do
(00:49):
I always try to avoid saying it? Well? She recently,
as they say in the article, slammed her ex fiance.
You guys, I have such a problem when the tabloids
or like any form of news says so and so
slam so and so, because usually it's not as vicious
as they try to make it sound. But man, it's
a it's a good look, good clickbait, right, there. During
(01:12):
a recent Instagram a Q and A, Grant was asked
multiple times with the status of he and Juliana's relationship.
Was like, well, guys, you know they are broken up,
but these people want to know whether or not they're
still talking, and he said, well, it's a difficult question.
When two people make a commitment, I feel like they're
supposed to do everything they can to try to make
it work. But you know that wasn't the case. I
(01:34):
guess we just weren't meant for each other. Now I
kind of understand why she slammed him. He was also
asked about why the couple ended their engagement, and he said,
I don't fully know, but there were some issues and
we just couldn't make it work. So then Juliana, she
(01:55):
has a very different answer as to why they they
broke up. She said this on Instagram story and response.
We have talked after the breakup multiple times. He reached
out to my family and friends multiple times. They've always
responded that means, what do you mean? Okay? Thank you?
I'm like, what does I was like trying to break
(02:16):
down an acronym there, what do you mean? I didn't try?
I stayed even when I felt unloved. She continues to say,
he also knows why we broke up. He just doesn't
want you to know why. Right and fun, very very good,
very very good entertainment for us. Again, I'm sorry it
(02:38):
didn't work out between the two of them, but this
was not a surprise. And the way that Gret handles
himself on social media with all these oh you know,
I don't really know. It's just like without like a
much feeling attached to it all.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Personally, I wonder how long until he deletes this off
of Instagram, because that tends to be the thing he does.
He did it all, he commented on our page then
deleted it, so he kind of is known for that too.
I will say, for my fellow millennials, is this not giving.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
You know what you did? You know what you did?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Does this ring a bell? Ashley?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Oh my gosh, no, what.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
The iconic fight between Els and Hydie.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Oh okay, So here's the issue. I never watched Laguna
Beach or The Hill the Hills, Ashley. I know this
is simple. Here's why I don't love teen drama like
that's script that's unscripted, because it just makes me feel
very uncomfortable because I was like never an angsty teenager,
(03:47):
and I like didn't want to have fights with friends,
and so watching that just makes me feel like I'm
in a place where I always try to avoid.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Got you, well, I commend you. But for anybody listening
that does remember the Hills, you know what you did,
that is what.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I well, you know what, Juliana, you know that we
welcome you. If you ever want to talk about what
he did, we would love to hear all about it.
Our next headline, Golden Bachelor, mel Owens talks about the
backlash that he got about his age's comment. We're calling
(04:25):
it a gaff. Now, a gaff is a mistake in
something that is a mistake in speech. I think this
was more of his truth than it just wasn't really
well suited for his position. But here we go. The
show has been filmed and now he's talking about entrances.
(04:48):
He says that he's been apologizing ever since and that
he will expect to see him get grilled by twenty
three women that are competing now for his heart, only
one of which is understand. He said, if you guys
don't remember that he had no interest in dating someone
over the age of sixty, but now he's got twenty
(05:08):
two of them. So he says that there is one
contestant whose opening comment he remembers vividly. She says, yeah,
I heard about what you said about the women. What
the f are you talking about? Oh, she said puck,
Because this is a hockey playing contestant. She goes, what
the puck are you talking about? And he says that
(05:31):
he estimates that he apologized over twenty times in the
first episode to groups and individuals. He goes, it's good
because I did deserve it, and I had to deal
with it, and I had to explain to them sincerely
in order to get another chance from them, and they
could or could not have accepted his apology, but they did.
(05:54):
He also said, I wasn't thinking about who these women
actually were. When you see them, you don't think of age.
I had no idea how old they were, and it
didn't matter. He also says that he's a newbie to
social media and he was quickly alerted to when he
said this stupid thing by a female friend. She's my age,
(06:16):
she said sixty five at the time, and she she
called me up and she said, what are you doing
and I said that I had made a mistake, and
she goes, yeah, you're going to have to reconcile this one,
and she made me realize that I was just out
of bounds.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Okay, well, can I just say obviously nobody agrees with
his comments and that's not what The Golden Bachelor is
here to represent. But I will say that after this
first episode airs next week, I'm over this topic. I
don't know this guy complain the entire sorry, not complain.
I don't want to hear this guy apologize for the
(06:52):
entire season. I hope we kick it in the first
episode and we move past this because I'm over it.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, I will be forever thinking it. I have to
admit I will be forever thinking it, but I don't
want to forever hear it. And I honest, I'd have
no problem if he said these things, if he wasn't
the Golden Bachelor who's supposed to date sixty plus year
old women. If that's not your type, okay, we're fine.
(07:19):
The fact that he said that in this role was
just like ughugh. But guys, if you want to watch
The Bachelor, the Golden Bachelor premiere, it is on Wednesday,
this coming Wednesday, it is September twenty fourth, and we'll
be breaking it all down, of course, and we're gonna
probably do a Golden Bachelor Fantasy League. So if you
(07:40):
want to take a look at all those profiles and
join in the fun, please do that. It seems like
our former bachelorette, our last one before our new one,
which we'll talk about in a little bit. Jen Tran
is soft launching a new relationship. As do you guys know.
(08:00):
She was dating her partner from Dancing with the Stars,
Sasha Farber for a while. It's been it's been confirmed
for a couple months now that they split, but Jen
has updated her life on social media, and she posted
a picture of herself hugging a tall mystery man in
(08:22):
front of an elevator while he holds her purse for her,
and the fans, of course commented, somebody going your story,
Oh my god, happy for you girl, and another person said,
but who is in your story? And a few followers
speculated that this person could be could be fellow Bachelor
(08:46):
Nation star and contestant of hers, Jonathan Johnson. Somebody said,
oh my god, is that Jonathan in the stories?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
What do you think.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Let me click here and see this picture now, because
I have I have a give. I don't know. I
will say, I don't really know. Skin tone kind of
on par booty, kind of on par He's got a
good booty. It's something I have noticed.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I don't think it's him.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
The hair is hard to tell from here. Why do
you Why do you not think it's him?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I don't think it's him, because no shade to Jonathan.
I think he will admit he's what does he call
himself a medium king?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
He says he's a medium king. He says he's like
five ten. And I'm like, okay, this could be five
ten if she's not wearing heels, because I think she's
pretty tiny.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
But we saw him at the Paradise Reunion that we
were taping, and I just don't think. And I've met
Jen too, and I just don't the height difference. To me,
I'm like, this is somebody taller. This is what I
think it's somebody taller.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I agree that, Like he's hunching down quite a bit
and she's like on her tiptoes in this picture.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Oh but man, well, we love that to happen. We
would love it so much A. All right, we'll keep following.
I'm sure she will continuously be teasing us. One person
also said that she might be dating Spanish tennis player
Carlos Alcaraz. Do you know who that is? No? Oh,
he just won the US Open.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Oh, I mean, if that's who it is, Jen, I know, yeah,
I don't know. I feel like he looks taller to
me based on these photos. He looks taller to me,
and I would bet I would put my money more
towards this than Jonathan.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Okay, that's just me. I just hope it's like, I mean,
I'm sorry for our own entertainment. I hope it's somebody
that we know of, Yeah, of course. Okay. Next headline
is Kit Keenan, who we know from Matt James. This season,
walked in her mom, Cynthia Rally's fashion show during fashion Week,
(11:03):
and I think it was the perfect fit because she
walked in a dress that was covered in engagement rings.
It's really cute. She looks like a perfect natural model.
No one and be like, oh, she's on the runway
because her mom. No, she looks so freaking fantastic. So
Kit is now twenty six years old. Because on Matt Season.
She was a young one. She's twenty one, twenty one
(11:24):
or twenty two on mad Season, and now she has
a boyfriend and her mom. She said, I think my
mom was trying to send a message to my boyfriend
with this dress because it's covered in engagement rings. Diamonds
are a girl's best friend, and that's why I'm wearing this.
But yeah, she looks amazing and good for her. She
(11:45):
has stayed pretty in the loop with bachelor stuff, being
that she was only on I think the one season.

Visit Hotel Portafino dot com to book or call eight
zero zero four six eight forty two ninety two Bachelor
in Paradises, James Bonsel announces that he is engaged. You
guys may remember him. He was definitely a fan favorite.
We all love James. But I will say that when
(12:51):
I first saw this headline, I was like who, And
then you see his picture. He's one of the really
bright blue eyes. He's the one that people would make
fun of because his hair was so ken like, so
slicked back and hard looking. But he was so sweet
and he was good friends with Aaron and you know
him from Katie season. He was on Bachelor of Paradise
twice and he got engaged at the Hotel Cordnado recently.
(13:19):
He was from San Diego. Guy, and congratulations to him.
Have you ever been to that hotel? Yes? I have been.
It's so pretty and we went because it's apparently very
haunted and my sister wanted to go for her birthday.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I was gonna ask you, it's haunted. Did you have
any paranormal activity?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
We didn't, but she kept her EVP reader on her
phone all day long. I think she may have requested
the room like the very haunted room. It was a
fun time though, It's like you can you can feel
the eeriness of it. There's like crazy stories from there,
but it's like everybody in southern California is like favorite
place to like have a aesthetic vacation. It is beautiful,
(14:00):
totally beautiful.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Yeah, I've never been there, but really gorgeous pictures in
his video announcement was really cute.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yes, he's he's He's a good guy. Another bachelor news,
we have Kelly Travis from Mom Pablo season giving birth
to her third baby. She had her first son, Henry
in twenty eighteen and then daughter Josephine in twenty twenty
and her husband Hunterham. They got married in twenty twenty
(14:28):
six in twenty sixteen. Yeah, they've been together for a
long time. But Kelly was the one that you know
from One Pablo scene season who brought her dog and
that was what a special treat that was. In our
final headline of the day, Whitney leave It and Jen
Affleck from the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, they are
hyping their girl up Franky Taylor Frankie paul Uh for
(14:52):
the New Bachelorette season. I remember Frankie Taylor had said
on a couple of podcasts like she wasn't sure if
they're being like jealousy surrounding this, but the girls are
saying she's going to crush it. I know so many
people that are going to tune in. I know I am,
and I haven't watched The Bachelor in a long time.
Lovett also said that I think someone that really recognizes
(15:13):
her resilience and the woman that she is and doesn't
take advantage for it is going to be the perfect
kind of guy for her. And then Jen Affleck, who
is currently on Dancing with the Stars, said she definitely
has a type and whoever makes her happy is who
we're hoping. We'll be there.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Did you see the video from the Dancing with the
Stars premiere, because Taylor was obviously there this week, you know,
rooting on Whitney and Jen, but we also got to
see her having kind of a little moment with fellow
bachelorette Hannah Brown. Were like hugging and chit chatting, and
if you remember last week when it was announced, Taylor
(15:49):
said she had watched Hannah's season that was one that
she had watched in the past, so it was really
cute little moment to see the two of them connecting.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Wow, Hulu and ABC are really you know, making a
full circle moment here. I can't believe that they have
two girls from the Mormon Wives on Dancing with the
Stars and then they have their bachelorette as also a
cast member.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
That's why the question of like would it would there
be jealousy and all that, Like, that's why she was
saying that.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Because of course, because like that's a huge lead role.
Dancing with the Stars is ensemble though, but I'm sure
these girls are also, like I mean, they're on Dancing
with the Stars, that's huge. Huge. The girls who haven't
gotten the opportunities yet, they're gonna be like, Okay, so
where is my additional show? Exactly exactly. I'm sure that
(16:42):
they're ironclad contracts also probably wouldn't allow them to do
something like special Forces or traders or anything like that
right now, exactly exactly. Alrighty, well, guys, thank you so
much for tuning in to headlines. We will have more
next week and I I'm going to be with the
iHeart Family and a Jonas concert in San Francisco, so
(17:04):
stay tuned for those episodes, which you know I will
jonafy the crab out of. Until then, we love you.

This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hey guys, welcome to the Almost Famous podcast. Today we
are breaking down headlines. Ben in my schedule, I tell you,
has been all over the place. We have not been
aligning lately much the past few months, and we are
sorry about that. We're working on it. But today it
is me doing headlines with our producer Heather again and
(00:27):
I hope you guys enjoyed last week's headlines. We had
a good time together and we plan on doing it
again right now. Our first headline of the week. Oh,
it's a little juicy, Juliana. I'm sorry to Juliana aka
Grant's X. I don't know how to say your last name, Pascarosa.
It is a beautiful last name, Pascarosa, right, Why do
(00:49):
I always try to avoid saying it? Well? She recently,
as they say in the article, slammed her ex fiance.
You guys, I have such a problem when the tabloids
or like any form of news says so and so
slam so and so, because usually it's not as vicious
as they try to make it sound. But man, it's
a it's a good look, good clickbait, right, there. During
(01:12):
a recent Instagram a Q and A, Grant was asked
multiple times with the status of he and Juliana's relationship.
Was like, well, guys, you know they are broken up,
but these people want to know whether or not they're
still talking, and he said, well, it's a difficult question.
When two people make a commitment, I feel like they're
supposed to do everything they can to try to make
it work. But you know that wasn't the case. I
(01:34):
guess we just weren't meant for each other. Now I
kind of understand why she slammed him. He was also
asked about why the couple ended their engagement, and he said,
I don't fully know, but there were some issues and
we just couldn't make it work. So then Juliana, she
(01:55):
has a very different answer as to why they they
broke up. She said this on Instagram story and response.
We have talked after the breakup multiple times. He reached
out to my family and friends multiple times. They've always
responded that means, what do you mean? Okay? Thank you?
I'm like, what does I was like trying to break
(02:16):
down an acronym there, what do you mean? I didn't try?
I stayed even when I felt unloved. She continues to say,
he also knows why we broke up. He just doesn't
want you to know why. Right and fun, very very good,
very very good entertainment for us. Again, I'm sorry it
(02:38):
didn't work out between the two of them, but this
was not a surprise. And the way that Gret handles
himself on social media with all these oh you know,
I don't really know. It's just like without like a
much feeling attached to it all.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Personally, I wonder how long until he deletes this off
of Instagram, because that tends to be the thing he does.
He did it all, he commented on our page then
deleted it, so he kind of is known for that too.
I will say, for my fellow millennials, is this not giving.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
You know what you did? You know what you did?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Does this ring a bell? Ashley?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Oh my gosh, no, what.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
The iconic fight between Els and Hydie.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Oh okay, So here's the issue. I never watched Laguna
Beach or The Hill the Hills, Ashley. I know this
is simple. Here's why I don't love teen drama like
that's script that's unscripted, because it just makes me feel
very uncomfortable because I was like never an angsty teenager,
(03:47):
and I like didn't want to have fights with friends,
and so watching that just makes me feel like I'm
in a place where I always try to avoid.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Got you, well, I commend you. But for anybody listening
that does remember the Hills, you know what you did,
that is what.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I well, you know what, Juliana, you know that we
welcome you. If you ever want to talk about what
he did, we would love to hear all about it.
Our next headline, Golden Bachelor, mel Owens talks about the
backlash that he got about his age's comment. We're calling
(04:25):
it a gaff. Now, a gaff is a mistake in
something that is a mistake in speech. I think this
was more of his truth than it just wasn't really
well suited for his position. But here we go. The
show has been filmed and now he's talking about entrances.
(04:48):
He says that he's been apologizing ever since and that
he will expect to see him get grilled by twenty
three women that are competing now for his heart, only
one of which is understand. He said, if you guys
don't remember that he had no interest in dating someone
over the age of sixty, but now he's got twenty
(05:08):
two of them. So he says that there is one
contestant whose opening comment he remembers vividly. She says, yeah,
I heard about what you said about the women. What
the f are you talking about? Oh, she said puck,
Because this is a hockey playing contestant. She goes, what
the puck are you talking about? And he says that
(05:31):
he estimates that he apologized over twenty times in the
first episode to groups and individuals. He goes, it's good
because I did deserve it, and I had to deal
with it, and I had to explain to them sincerely
in order to get another chance from them, and they
could or could not have accepted his apology, but they did.
(05:54):
He also said, I wasn't thinking about who these women
actually were. When you see them, you don't think of age.
I had no idea how old they were, and it
didn't matter. He also says that he's a newbie to
social media and he was quickly alerted to when he
said this stupid thing by a female friend. She's my age,
(06:16):
she said sixty five at the time, and she she
called me up and she said, what are you doing
and I said that I had made a mistake, and
she goes, yeah, you're going to have to reconcile this one,
and she made me realize that I was just out
of bounds.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Okay, well, can I just say obviously nobody agrees with
his comments and that's not what The Golden Bachelor is
here to represent. But I will say that after this
first episode airs next week, I'm over this topic. I
don't know this guy complain the entire sorry, not complain.
I don't want to hear this guy apologize for the
(06:52):
entire season. I hope we kick it in the first
episode and we move past this because I'm over it.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, I will be forever thinking it. I have to
admit I will be forever thinking it, but I don't
want to forever hear it. And I honest, I'd have
no problem if he said these things, if he wasn't
the Golden Bachelor who's supposed to date sixty plus year
old women. If that's not your type, okay, we're fine.
(07:19):
The fact that he said that in this role was
just like ughugh. But guys, if you want to watch
The Bachelor, the Golden Bachelor premiere, it is on Wednesday,
this coming Wednesday, it is September twenty fourth, and we'll
be breaking it all down, of course, and we're gonna
probably do a Golden Bachelor Fantasy League. So if you
(07:40):
want to take a look at all those profiles and
join in the fun, please do that. It seems like
our former bachelorette, our last one before our new one,
which we'll talk about in a little bit. Jen Tran
is soft launching a new relationship. As do you guys know.
(08:00):
She was dating her partner from Dancing with the Stars,
Sasha Farber for a while. It's been it's been confirmed
for a couple months now that they split, but Jen
has updated her life on social media, and she posted
a picture of herself hugging a tall mystery man in
(08:22):
front of an elevator while he holds her purse for her,
and the fans, of course commented, somebody going your story,
Oh my god, happy for you girl, and another person said,
but who is in your story? And a few followers
speculated that this person could be could be fellow Bachelor
(08:46):
Nation star and contestant of hers, Jonathan Johnson. Somebody said,
oh my god, is that Jonathan in the stories?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
What do you think.

on par booty, kind of on par He's got a
good booty. It's something I have noticed.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I don't think it's him.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
The hair is hard to tell from here. Why do
you Why do you not think it's him?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I don't think it's him, because no shade to Jonathan.
I think he will admit he's what does he call
himself a medium king?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
He says he's a medium king. He says he's like
five ten. And I'm like, okay, this could be five
ten if she's not wearing heels, because I think she's
pretty tiny.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
But we saw him at the Paradise Reunion that we
were taping, and I just don't think. And I've met
Jen too, and I just don't the height difference. To me,
I'm like, this is somebody taller. This is what I
think it's somebody taller.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I agree that, Like he's hunching down quite a bit
and she's like on her tiptoes in this picture.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Oh but man, well, we love that to happen. We
would love it so much A. All right, we'll keep following.
I'm sure she will continuously be teasing us. One person
also said that she might be dating Spanish tennis player
Carlos Alcaraz. Do you know who that is? No? Oh,
he just won the US Open.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Oh, I mean, if that's who it is, Jen, I know, yeah,
I don't know. I feel like he looks taller to
me based on these photos. He looks taller to me,
and I would bet I would put my money more
towards this than Jonathan.

Okay, that's just me. I just hope it's like, I mean,
I'm sorry for our own entertainment. I hope it's somebody

(11:03):
and I think it was the perfect fit because she
walked in a dress that was covered in engagement rings.
It's really cute. She looks like a perfect natural model.
No one and be like, oh, she's on the runway
because her mom. No, she looks so freaking fantastic. So
Kit is now twenty six years old. Because on Matt Season.
She was a young one. She's twenty one, twenty one
(11:24):
or twenty two on mad Season, and now she has
a boyfriend and her mom. She said, I think my
mom was trying to send a message to my boyfriend
with this dress because it's covered in engagement rings. Diamonds
are a girl's best friend, and that's why I'm wearing this.
But yeah, she looks amazing and good for her. She
(11:45):
has stayed pretty in the loop with bachelor stuff, being
that she was only on I think the one season.

Visit Hotel Portafino dot com to book or call eight
zero zero four six eight forty two ninety two Bachelor
in Paradises, James Bonsel announces that he is engaged. You
guys may remember him. He was definitely a fan favorite.
We all love James. But I will say that when
(12:51):
I first saw this headline, I was like who, And
then you see his picture. He's one of the really
bright blue eyes. He's the one that people would make
fun of because his hair was so ken like, so
slicked back and hard looking. But he was so sweet
and he was good friends with Aaron and you know
him from Katie season. He was on Bachelor of Paradise
twice and he got engaged at the Hotel Cordnado recently.
(13:19):
He was from San Diego. Guy, and congratulations to him.
Have you ever been to that hotel? Yes? I have been.
It's so pretty and we went because it's apparently very
haunted and my sister wanted to go for her birthday.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I was gonna ask you, it's haunted. Did you have
any paranormal activity?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
We didn't, but she kept her EVP reader on her
phone all day long. I think she may have requested
the room like the very haunted room. It was a
fun time though, It's like you can you can feel
the eeriness of it. There's like crazy stories from there,
but it's like everybody in southern California is like favorite
place to like have a aesthetic vacation. It is beautiful,
(14:00):
totally beautiful.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Yeah, I've never been there, but really gorgeous pictures in
his video announcement was really cute.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yes, he's he's He's a good guy. Another bachelor news,
we have Kelly Travis from Mom Pablo season giving birth
to her third baby. She had her first son, Henry
in twenty eighteen and then daughter Josephine in twenty twenty
and her husband Hunterham. They got married in twenty twenty
(14:28):
six in twenty sixteen. Yeah, they've been together for a
long time. But Kelly was the one that you know
from One Pablo scene season who brought her dog and
that was what a special treat that was. In our
final headline of the day, Whitney leave It and Jen
Affleck from the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, they are
hyping their girl up Franky Taylor Frankie paul Uh for
(14:52):
the New Bachelorette season. I remember Frankie Taylor had said
on a couple of podcasts like she wasn't sure if
they're being like jealousy surrounding this, but the girls are
saying she's going to crush it. I know so many
people that are going to tune in. I know I am,
and I haven't watched The Bachelor in a long time.
Lovett also said that I think someone that really recognizes
(15:13):
her resilience and the woman that she is and doesn't
take advantage for it is going to be the perfect
kind of guy for her. And then Jen Affleck, who
is currently on Dancing with the Stars, said she definitely
has a type and whoever makes her happy is who
we're hoping. We'll be there.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Did you see the video from the Dancing with the
Stars premiere, because Taylor was obviously there this week, you know,
rooting on Whitney and Jen, but we also got to
see her having kind of a little moment with fellow
bachelorette Hannah Brown. Were like hugging and chit chatting, and
if you remember last week when it was announced, Taylor
(15:49):
said she had watched Hannah's season that was one that
she had watched in the past, so it was really
cute little moment to see the two of them connecting.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Wow, Hulu and ABC are really you know, making a
full circle moment here. I can't believe that they have
two girls from the Mormon Wives on Dancing with the
Stars and then they have their bachelorette as also a
cast member.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
That's why the question of like would it would there
be jealousy and all that, Like, that's why she was
saying that.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Because of course, because like that's a huge lead role.
Dancing with the Stars is ensemble though, but I'm sure
these girls are also, like I mean, they're on Dancing
with the Stars, that's huge. Huge. The girls who haven't
gotten the opportunities yet, they're gonna be like, Okay, so
where is my additional show? Exactly exactly. I'm sure that
(16:42):
they're ironclad contracts also probably wouldn't allow them to do
something like special Forces or traders or anything like that
right now, exactly exactly. Alrighty, well, guys, thank you so
much for tuning in to headlines. We will have more
next week and I I'm going to be with the
iHeart Family and a Jonas concert in San Francisco, so
(17:04):
stay tuned for those episodes, which you know I will
jonafy the crab out of. Until then, we love you.
