This is the Benn and Ashley I almost famous podcast with her radio is the almost famous podcast Astuley, I can Eddie hear here. We're not stopping. Even though it's the official off season. It's feel like it's been a while since we really had like an off season. Yes, we haven't had an off season in a long time. If you backtrack to this time last year, there was Listening to Your Heart. Then a couple of weeks after that ended, there was The Bachelor Greatest Hits, which went on for like eight to ten weeks, and then we had the Taja Claire season, and then we have Mad Season. Like, there has not been any off season this year and there really won't be again once we start with Katie season in May. So let's take this time to do in depths and do some more host chat and all that. Yeah, I think that's a great idea. I think it's gonna be awesome. We're gonna do a lot of headlines too. I mean, there's a lot of things to talk about. I feel I also actually feel like this is a really terrific time, like any time is, but this is a good time to kind of like slow down and enter into the space of some of these conversations that have been happening around Bachelor Nation and around the world, like to really kind of dive into those and to bring on some guests who can speak to them, speak with them, speak with us, um, to kind of maybe move into this next season, like better educated, better prepared all of us. I think it's a great time for that. Actually, Um, speaking of host chats, I know right now you have some big moves going on in life. We've mentioned it a few times, but but we've kind of waited. I've waited, I guess to ask you as a friend, even you and Jared now have officially moved. I I think from what I'm seeing on Instagram, what's going on in your life? Like? What have you bought a house? Are you close? Are you where you move into? Like? Can you just give us a rundown on where your life is at? Yeah? Like I can't even remember where I talk about this from where I don't, So so I forgive us if we have kind of discussed it and I say the same things again. Um, So basically I love if you remember Ben in my vows, I literally promised Jared to move to Rhode Island of England, um, and that's where we would make our home, you know, for life that happened, it's happening a little bit earlier, maybe a year or two earlier than planned. But that's because over the past year with COVID, we've really realized that we can do so much of our work remotely. Like you know that I used to go into the I Heart studio every week, um, and then you'd be on zoom, you know, you'd be on the screen there, um. But we really don't have to do that anymore. Like how we record now is just dandy, and so much of what we can do with remote and we really just didn't feel like l A would even get very very back to normal for another year possibly, I mean, like maybe fall, we'll see. So we're just like we're spending we're wasting so much money on rent and our apartment on the West Coast and would rather be with our family on the East coast. So if we already spent two thirds of this year on the past calendar year on the East coast, let's just get rid of our apartment save that money, um for the Well, what we did decide over December is that we want to build a house. So we're going to hopefully build a house within the next year, but we have to find land to do that, and it's really hard to look for lots or houses or anything like that when you're not they're right. So we are going to Rhode Island tomorrow. We spent the week with my parents in Virginia, UM, while we waited for our movers to bring this stuff. They arrive on Wednesday. We'll get there tomorrow and Jared and I are just kind of going to spend time with our families over the next couple months. Maybe um, but may June, we are gonna start, you know, looking for an apartment. We're just going to rent for a year or two until our hopeful house is ready to move in. So did you drive across the country? How are you? Okay? Oh my gosh, you know, props of those who do that. I actually do think it would be kind of cool, but that's not that was not in the cards for now. Would you would you or have you ever driven across country? Uh? No, I drove. I think the longest I've ever driven is like Indiana to Denverse. That's not that far. No, no, no, no, no, I've driven Indiana to Wyoming to Buffalo, Wyoming. So that's twenty seven hours, So that's pretty long. That's really long. The most I've ever done is like six and a half seven and that was like Virginia to Syracuse is about six sixteen and then Virginia to Rhode Island, which we've driven a couple of times this year and we'll do again tomorrow is about six six and a half actually, before we before we get moving on to headlines here, Uh, what kind of house are you guys looking to build? I mean a lot of people out there listening to this. You know, Jessica and I are right now finished decorating our house. We did a few things I did. I'm doing a lot of stuff and she's doing a lot of like the decoration. You know, Facebook Marketplace, huge winter h for all things need. I will I will advertise for them in a second. You know, we have some great like we have Brooklyn in Uh you know, we have yeah, Brooklyn in on here that it's great. She's like we've we've really kind of like started to work on this house. Um, what kind of like what kind of house are you building? People? I think are very intrigued. Yeah, I like pretty traditional colonial. But you know, I like the very modern inside, the very like look, which is a lot of white, a lot of neutrals. We really like gray hardwood floor that's like are a weird must have of ours. We like stone fireplaces. I want a very traditional like New England style look on the outside. Um, white paneling, black shutters, possibly a red door. I really like those, um and know what they're called. But like, you know how like on a third level or in the attic you have those like three windows that kind of like pop out a little bit from the roof. Sure, yeah, I can envision. I have no clue what it's is like a it's not a terrorist, Yeah, I know, you know what I'm talking about. So like that look just like traditional, like a modern colonial. That's super awesome. Actually, I'm pumped for you. This will be a fun This is gonna be a really fun season. You've done the l a thing, You've done it well, you've crushed it through the whole thing. Now it's time um for Rhode Island and to make your first home with Jared. This is really awesome, that's super cool. Well, um, you know it's uh, it's a busy time in Uh, in the in the world around us, there is a lot of headlines uh going on In fact, um, this is kind of what these podcasts are about. Let's break down going on in Bachelor Nation right now. We're gonna come back with bachelor headlines. M h, We're back with bachelor headlines. Of course, we have our resident expert on all things headlines. Actually, like Eddie here waiting. Uh. First headline is this Matt James talks possibility of Rachel Kirknel reconciliation, says he's not going to be dating this according to people. Yeah, so you know, during after the final rows, I think it was pretty obvious to all of us that there wasn't much interest in reconciliation. Well, this week Matt was on the Bill Simmons podcast and he said, I don't think again, he said this, I don't think anybody's irredeemable. I think that I think that for Rachel, there's a lot that we didn't discuss that we probably should have talked about. I probably should have asked her more clarifying questions, and I'm giving her space to do that. However, he says um that he's just so exhausted. He wants to take a step back from everything and process what's been going on. He just says that he's focused on getting back into that meaningful work that he does in the community and centering himself around projects that are going to elevate all the work and he's been working on doing, um, you know, all that stuff in this in New York City and special interest stuff. He really just wants to kind of focus on life outside reality TV. But he said that he won't be dating for a while. That's the juicy. The juicy quote here is that he, uh yeah, we'll be dating for a while. I'm going to focus on work. Hey good, I mean good for him if that's what he feels is right and best for him. We hope that he can heal come back stronger than ever. He's a special dude. Well uh more Matt James headlines because obviously this is all kind of circling around, like you're getting the undertones of this that you know Matt is is processing a lot right now. I don't want to put words in his mouth that he's struggling, but he's processing a lot. He has a tweet this week that says, Google therapist need near me. Which I think, you know, just kind of hints at that he's looking to talk to somebody. But then in addition to that, which is the headline, I'll read, Uh, we all kind of assumed that he deleted his Instagram based on kind of, um that tweet criticism. Yeah, but there's more to it here, and I think it's really interesting. The headline reads, here's why Matt James elited his Instagram picks after taxing Bachelor experiences. According to E, So it's a source and they're exclusively telling E that Matt wants a fresh start right now that his Bachelor season has ended. He said, He's what The source says that he's ready for new beginnings and that is one of the reasons he cleared his Instagram. He wants like a step back and refocus his priorities. Says the show is toxic and taxing on his mental health, and he's glad that it's over. Um he said. The insider also says that between him and Rachel, it all ended badly and there's no chance that they will ever get back together. Matt truly loved Rachel and it was devastating that he had to end their relationship. Well, we uh, not a shock there right, based on what we saw on after the Final Rose, but it does give clarity to where they're at. Um some things that I think we would have loved to have some some insight into. Is the next headline. This was super interesting. Emmanuel Acho, who stepped in for Chris Harrison and did after the Final ros this this season, uh details Rachel Kirknell and Michelle Young's unaired bachelor after the Final Rose conversation. This according to US Weekly. Yeah, so what happened is there was a conversation between Michelle and Rachel that didn't get aired. He said, you know, he was disappointed about that, but he totally understands that there's time constraints, you know, on on everything when it comes to television. So this had a you know, be cut out Rachel. He was talking to Michelle basically, and he said that he could sense that she was still hurt that Rachel never reached out to her personally once the photos surface, and given their friendship on the show, she was just you know, she was feeling off about that. And he said that it wasn't in the in the script, it wasn't planned at all, but he figured that since there both in the building, why not talk about it face to phase. So he also said that, um, you know, the reconciliation between Rachel and Matt wasn't gonna happen, so he wanted to have like some sort of reconciliation take place on after the final rows. So Rachel was willing and Michelle hadn't left the building yet, so he brought the two of them out to talk. He said that Michelle was just very upset, but um, he said that, you know, Michelle was very upset, um, but that they had a good conversation that you shared an embrace of which we didn't see from Rachel and Matt. Uh. And the two of them sat there, and he said that he thought it was a nice it was a beautiful moment that he could witness. He actually feels like very grateful that he got to witness this. He said it was the favorite moment that you didn't get to see, um, but that it was very satisfying conversation. Basically, well, it's uh, you know again, I think that there's a lot from the season that we're gonna continue to talk about. Uh, We're going to continue to lean into as the off season happens. It's something that I think all of us here are ready for, UM prepared for and also very intrigued by. You know, how do we lean into this? Well, so these conversations, these reconciling moments that Emmanuel acco is expressing our our things that I hope can happen. UM. Now there is more headlines around the Final Rows. This is something that's interesting. We had Bree Springs in the podcast uh just last week UM and this was not brought up, but brief Springs. The headline reads brief Springs was edited out of after the Final Rose episode. This according to screen Ring. So, Bree was on Extra last week and she mentioned there that she was extremely disappointed because she felt like she had a great conversation with Emmanuel about her journey and was able to kind of wrap it up in a bow and got a closure from it. And she wishes people could have seen her reach that conclusion. How did she got mess in this? And she was talking about getting um closure last week with us. Oh it's fine. I don't know, but it's fine. UM. She said that they were very important conversations that needed to be had, but yeah, she was there and she she said that she was. She revealed other things too. Emmanuel a little bit lighter, Um said that she was scared for her life when the a TV flipped over. Um, And yeah, I mean that that's basically it, but it was in you're saying that something like something like this would have been cut out, but that the thing is that it was an hour long. You know, if there's two hours long, then we would have been able to see the conversations between Rachel and Michelle and Burrie. But I think at the point after leaving that two hour finale episode, having shown a breeze exit which happened the week before, it would have felt a little bit like out of place. Yeah, so I don't remember, but after the final rose is usually an hour or they usually to Okay, well, remember how in the past couple of years they've made them live, so like they kind of throw back to the audience a little bit. So it's it feels like it's kind of spread out over three hours, but the actual after the final Wars conversation is usually an hour. Alright, fair enough, Well, skipping ahead, we're gonna start talking about a new bachelorette bachelorettees. I guess we could say at some point, but right now, it's Katie Thurston's time to be the bachelorette. Actually, this is interesting to me because I remember back in the day the contestants weren't even revealed, sometimes until after taping was even done. Like, I remember when it was announced, and now they're announcing him so early. I want to hear two things. One is your thoughts on the headline. Too, is your thoughts on that and why they're doing it. But the headline reads Katie Thurston's potential bachelorette. Contestants revealed this according to Entertainment Tonight. Okay, I'm gonna click this link and we're gonna go through some pictures together. The oldest gap the oldest age difference between Katie and like her oldest and youngest guy is eleven years. Oh no, no, no no, okay, so it's eleven years between the youngest guy on the season supposedly and the oldest guy in the season. The youngest guy is supposedly twenty five, which I love. Okay, great, because you were twenty five on The Bachelor. I start feeling like bachelorette. Sorry, I think that that's begin to be a good time frame. To start going on and then the oldest is thirty six. I also love that great. Um Katie's thirty For you guys who don't know. And to answer your question, I don't know. I don't know that I have a preference on whether're like when the photos are revealed. I think it's a little I think it's kind of exciting to get the profiles up. I guess the profile still go up towards, you know, the beginning of the season. Right now, we're just getting photos, so all we're doing is judging looks um and yeah, we have no background, so I don't know. I don't really care either way. I feel like I guess, if I had to choose, I'd prefer not seeing the contestants until just a week or two before the season starts. Just kind of gets you hyped. I don't know, what do you have a preference? I don't know. I mean my preference is they should least wait until filming starts so that the guys don't start messaging each other, like it was kind of exciting to not know, right, I mean, I'm are they are the guys already in filming right now? Yeah, I think they start filming tonight. Actually, yeah, so they could have seen this, um while they're still kind of out there, and they could have started like meeting the guys. And I like the surprise. I just like that, the not knowing who was going to show up, not knowing if you're you had a friend that was gonna be there. I always thought, you know, there was gonna be a friend of mine that randomly showed up and that I didn't know about. But um, you know it's I don't mind seeing the cast early. It gets us familiar with them. We'll probably push this to the side until closer to the season launch, like most people will. But it's a good looking group of dudes. Um, I'm pumped to break it down as we usually do. I think there's a lot here. I'm hoping for a really good love story, as we do every season. Um. But yeah, my preference is that they would wait. I just think it's I think it's kind of the fun and the surprise at all. Also like it gives us something fun to talk about when a season and approaches, Like they've been releasing these pictures the day after our finale, Like once somebody's announced as the as the lead, and I'm like okay, okay, okay, Like just give me a couple of break and then I'll get excited again when these photos come out. I'm looking at the guys and it seems like ABC was the ones who released these pictures. So, um, yeah, you would hope. So if not, that's a massive leak. Um, that'd be really weird. Yeah, it says ABC released the photos, but they're not the photos, you know what I mean, Like, they're not the ones. Ag. It's like the the classic back drop, like good photos that make these dudes look good. And so they they throw them in a in a green screen that you know, makes them look all sorts of weird. Hey, um, we'll speaking to this next season coming up. Tasha Adams is speaking out. She's talking about her her new gig as I don't know what we're calling her the host now, I think that's what we're gonna call her her and Caitlin Bristo Pataia. Yeah, yeah, it's the same thing, Tasha Adams says of new back to a hosting gig. My presence matters this according to CNN. Yeah, they talked to CNN this week and Tasia said she's so incredibly excited. She feels so honored to have been given the opportunity. If I can provide any sense of comfortability for anybody who's watching the show knowing that I'm there, my presence matters, But that means that means the most to me, So she said. She said that she found such an amazing love on this journey and if she could be a mentor for Katie to do the same, um, that's what she's there for, and she's excited to have any helping hand in that matter. Tasia continued to say that did I ever think that this is where I would be and where my journey would end up? Absolutely not, But it feels so right, and I truly feel like I should be here, and I truly feel like I can help Katie on this journey. Well, we're excited to see how that plays out. It's going to be super interesting to have both Tatia and Haitln guiding uh Katie along the way. Uh. And I do I think both those women matter great deal to anybody to come in contact with terrific people. Uh. And I'm excited to see a playoff. Hey, do we know side note here? Do we know if Jason is or um if Clarkey is uh, are are they quarantining with the women? Jason definitely is. And I want to know how they got their dogs over there, because like they've stopped with E. S A Dogs on airlines, which it's a whole other topic, but I want to know how the dogs got there. Jason had to drive the dogs. He's definitely there. Uh. And then it doesn't look like Clarkey is there with her. I'm sure he will be at some point. Jason is two months now. Jason has a lot of stuff going on right his his his website, and his Instagram restart is incredible. It's something that I admire and follow. But he's like the best hype man ever for Kaylin, Like that dude quarantine for Dance with the Stars. He's quarantining for her role. I mean, this is gonna be a long quarantine. Like I mean, I'm sure once you know he quarantines, he can get out and move about the resort and kind of do his thing and walk the dogs and enjoy it. But like this is he's the best. He's getting like best boyfriend award right now. Yeah, he's crushing it. He's quite something. Luckily he can work from most you know, most quarantine spots. But we know that was zach he he and his the rehab center. He probably has to be there in person more often. Sure he'll be making a visit. Fair enough. Well, Um, last week we had a headline that we kind of skimmed over, but just like briefly talked about, we said Claire Crawley and Dale Moss were like no longer like it wasn't gonna work out. That was a headline that we read. It was it was the information that was pasted to us. Um. Most people were in agreement to this. We didn't get a lot of we didn't get any backlash on it. But as the week played out, we realized that we were wrong. Everybody was wrong. But there's more to this story than we see. Ashley. Is a couple of headlines here about Clariondale that we're gonna run through. We're gonna do him step by step. The first one is Claire Crawley and Dale Moss are celebrating her birthday. This according to Entertainment Tonight. YEP, she turned forty this week and she spent it with Dale in New York and there are pictures of the two of them kissing with masks on, you know, like can you e've done that? Like Eskimo kisses like a little like those things. Yeah. Yeah, So there's a picture of floating out there very easy. Just type in Claire and Dale mass kiss and it will come up and they look very cute. They were, you know, and having a little stroll paparazzi cottum um. And then there's another headline talking about them working on things that went wrong. So the things that apparently gone wrong in the past include I think it's it's not him not being ready for marriage and kids. So I don't know like how that's gonna work, right, Like if that was the main issue, then uh maybe maybe Claire's like, Okay, I am down to wait a little bit longer. Who knows. We gotta get some insight into this obviously, Uh who you know, who knows what the next week we'll play out with the two of them, but we will, we will continue to dig in. We have a whole team on it. I mean they are researching this relationship, figuring out what's going on with Claire in Dale, but they are together in New York celebrating her birthday. Um, smiling beneath the masks, which I guess you can tell because they're smiling with their eyes. Hey, uh, Ashley, let's take a break here. When we come back, we have some really interesting headlines. They're gonna We're gonna cover Kelly and Peter. We're also going to uh cover this upcoming season of The Bachelorette. In addition to that, we're gonna talk about the Max Singer, which has been getting a lot of headlines, and Bachelor Nation. And finally, we're gonna end with a major headline about Joe Joe Fletcher and Jordan's Rogers. We'll be back with the almost famous podcast. All right, now, we're gonna dive into the next Bachelor relationship that has officially ended this one. They're not back together, but Kelly Flannagan is speaking out for one of the first times ever. Kelly Flanagan says there were non negotiable factors that went into Peter Weber split dis according to people, Okay, so all unraveled on New Year's Eve. Uh, they decided they decided to move to New York City together, right, Remember how they were supposed to do that and then the announce their split on New Year's Eve. Well, they tried to mend their relationship once more in February. I think that was around a Super Bowl time, but now they're calling it quits for good. Kelly said, on her end, there were just a lot of non negotiables in the relationship that essentially we're seeming to be worked on or saying that they were going to be worked on or change, and actions kind of speak louder than words. She said, if there is something that I saw as disrespectful in a relationship, I would speak on it. I was pretty vocal. I think communication is huge in a relationship, and there were things that essentially I would be like, hey, look this makes me feel like and this makes me feel this way, um, and they really weren't changing. She said that he essentially tried to get back together and was trying to work on things, and she was very hesitant, and he was telling who he's she's getting juicy here. He was telling her things like I love you and I want to get back together with you again. And that happened around Valentine's Day. But that is all so around the week where they decided to call it quits year for sure. Okay, So guys, they broke up on New Year's weekend. They try to rekindle things. He was saying he was working on things. She didn't really see the the work in progress. There wasn't really no improvement, and they really called it quits for real, for real around Valentine's Day. Well, to top it off, the next headline, I mean, it sounds like Kelly speaking out. It sounds like there there's respect for each other, they're both moving forward, and then on top of it, Kelly flanning and lights her hair on fire. It was like, not funny, but like the progression of things was funny. Yeah, what's going on there? Basically, Like Blake just says that, you know, he's friends with both of them. She he really likes Kelly met her in person over the Super Bowl where they had that reunion. Um, but and then they still care about each other. You just can't turn off those feelings, right. But whether they get back together or not, he doesn't really know. He just knows that they're they're in pretty good terms. Well, um yeah, so hair on fire, hair on fire. Um, hey, big news right now hitting the waves here as we're talking. Jessica Clark, my fiance right now. Was in a test as we were recording this to find to find out if she passed to become an official licensed estetician. She just called me. I ignored it, which is never a good thing to do. I'm gonna call her back and I'm gonna give us an up to date headline if she passed. If she didn't pass, this is gonna be awkward and we'll work through it. Hello, honey, uh you are on the almost famous podcast. How did it go? Oh amazing? We knew it, we knew it, We had zero doubt. I love you, your official licensed estetician now. Uh On. For anybody out there listening who lives in Denver and is looking for an estetician, where can they find you here in the next six months? Well, now I can officially say I am opening a skin clinic on South Pearl Street and it's called Just Skin din a Just Skin den If you are looking in Denver for an estetition, Jessica Clark is your girl. She is uh carrying with her soul, her mind, and her hands. I think that's important in an aestetition. Will hey, I will call you back later on. Thanks for the update. Congrats, jazz I wish that you could fly and extract my pores at any time. Well, Ashley, I think she's gonna take you up on that. Love you Hun will talk to you later. Okay, it's a big deal, guys, it's a big deal. It's a big moment, huge moment hitting right now as we talk. That's that's just incredible, way, Ashley. As we're off topic from the Bachelor for a second, there is another headline I want to read. Um, this one doesn't have to do with hair burning. That doesn't have to do with hair burning at all. I mean, that's that's unfortunate at every level. But you know who hasn't burned off their eyelashes eyebrows at some point. Um. I just saw this today and I know it's a popular show on on television, maybe the most popular ever. Well, I found out that Pete Davidson is rumored to be dating the girl from Bridger Tin that the lead girl. This really this, according to TMZ, this is This is a massive headline that I think most people will be interested in, and we might be able to break it sooner than most if it is true. Actually, what does that do for your heart? Delightful? What a coupling. I'm so into that. I mean, I love Pete Davidson, like he just gets our our generation. I feel like he is so funny. I love his personality. I could listen to him talk forever, and I just things she's so beautiful. I don't know much about her personality, but I like it. I really like it. And how funny that like like the like the sort of obnoxious funny guy is going to be like this woman who's just like so pristine and proper sy thing. Yeah, it's a great match. Well, hey, sorry to do railists there. Um, Ashley, we're kind of gonna stay away from the Bachelor for just a second, but there's there's a tie in here. Um, the mass Singer is out. The latest clues are kind of rumored. Now, now, Ashley, what's going on because they think it's somebody from the Bachelor. Who could it be? Okay, so it says this is the Piglets clues And I'm really gonna have to start watching the mass Singer now to figure out who this is because I think you and I would know based on their voice. Maybe then the general public. So it's the Piglet knows how to stay cool even in the heat. All right, I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic. There's a clock, there's a question mark. Sure, I've given away a few roses. The world saw my heart break. That's a dead giveaway to me that it's a bachelor persona persona batchelord. I love. This person has a tattoo of a heart with an ax. Um, there's a lollipop and a fortune cookie. So the Reddit users, which I don't read personally, but our producers apparently do, say that the rumor is it's Colton Underwood. Uh do you know any of those? Do you know if if he has like a tattoo of a heart with an ax, or if there's a meaning between the lollipop and the fortune cookie with him? I don't. I don't. It would be shocking to me if it was Colton. But me too, I don't think that people are like really, um, you know, trying to get him on. It's a big show. Now here's the question. Here's the question, though, Um, is it a guy or girl? Like? Can we tell from the mask singer? You not always? Not always? I mean yes and yes and no. But there's like some voices that can kind of go either way, especially in like the suit, I would say, like my gut instinct would be somebody along the lines of a Shawn Low or an Andy Dorfman. I got a lot of messages Ashley asking if it was me, and there's there's a dead giveaway here. I don't want to say it wasn't me, but let's just be honest my singing if you have to be Yeah, yeah, yeah, I actually just said it for me. Um. I'm not trying to say that I'm good at singing, but yeah, Ben Ben, I don't know that he'd be castid for this. Yeah, I don't think i'd be the top choice for singing voices. Um, it's interesting. So if you're not watching mass Singer, there's somebody on there that looks like they've been a part of the Bachelor franchise at some level at some time. Now, there's a ton of rumors swirling. Nobody knows who it is. The clues are fine. I don't know. I got to look into him a little bit more, but stay tuned because the chances that somebody from the Bachelor world is pretty high right now. Well, speaking of Bachelor World, we did just hint that there's a big announcement with Jojoe Fletcher and Jordan Rogers. It's probably not what you think, but it's something exciting for them. Jojo and Jordan's over the past couple of years have had a couple of shows that they've hosted. Uh, they've they've done it together and I've watched a few and they do a great job well. TBS sets dating series with Bachelor at a couple Jojo Fletcher and Jordan Rogers. They're hosting it as according to Hollywood Reporter, massive news for them. Ashley, what is the show? Tell us about it? It's called The Big Day and it's described as a social experiment that takes play that takes on the relationship space with a twist. It comes from the career leaders of Dating Naked and MTVS. Are You the One Um. They say that it's going to be following recent divorces as they search for romance in paradise. The catch is that their exes will be along for the journey, so over the course of several weeks, I believe that it's ten couples divorce. Couples will be living in a tropical villa in Costa Rica to relearn how to date they'll be looking for love with other contestants in the house UM. The group will take part in revealing relationship exercises you know, emphasize the X and that UM and they're designed to help singles form connections, make peace with their former partners, and finally get over issues holding them back from dating. Each episode will see one person who isn't relationship material, like not ready for a relationship be eliminated it And of course we're gonna have to deal with jealous exes, which may try to send their rival or perhaps their ex home, So that'll be fun. It sounds like it's gonna be wild. I hope Jojo and Jordan have some some professional help to help walk. This is gonna be an interesting show. I'm gonna tune in. Well. Emma the makeup artist is down there doing JoJo's glam the entire month and she's been looking incredible. I love following their both of their their instagrams for all her looks for each day on set. And it's speaking about looks, We've got to talk about this Kelly hair thing. So Kelly basically she put her hair into a candle and no, well, now she's got hair of all sorts of layers. Have you you alluded to doing this? Did you burn off your eyebrower eyelashes at some point multiple times growing up? Yeah? You did. It's stupid stuff like you have a campfire and you put some like lighter fluid in and it gets hired and you want it comes up with the grill. You know. I have a grill right now that I have to like light with a match because the starters out. And when it does, it sometimes like if the lid has been closed for too long, Um, then it pumps up like it's I've burnt hair off my arms like it And you have to remember, actually a side of my life that you've never known. Um. I grew up with a family who owned a fish fry business, and so we grew up frying fish around the Midwest for a living every weekend. And so like you're around hot grease and you're frying fish for churches and schools, Like getting burnt is not uncommon. Um, so it will grow back luckily. Um, but it's not. I mean, it's definitely not fun. The worst part is a smell. Come on, we've all you know smelled burnt hair. It's it's something something intense. You know, my friend Naz burnt her lashes and her eyebrow off a little bit on a date a couple months ago, Like she was leaning over the candle and that that happened and she was laughing hysterically, and then the guy did not think it was funny and it was just a very awkward situation and she never saw him again. Ah, well, that's unfortunate. I mean, come on, hey, if everybody's done it, well, it connects us. It's something we we share in common. Well, Ashley to find all this thought. This was the last headline. Um, as I read Jojo and Jordan's deal, it does I've never done this before, but you know what my dream job would be, hm, it would it would be hosting a show not exactly like this, this one feels hard. It would be like hosting The Bachelor, like, uh, the Senior show where they're gonna be doing that. Like that would be a dream because, like, can you imagine the stories that these people have coming into the bachelor world or to the dating world, Like the things they have to kind of work through, the ability to sit there beside him. Anyways, I'm pumped for Jojo and Jordan's uh pumped for this. Uh, Ashley, you know what, Yes it's headlines. Yes it's offseason, but there's a lot to talk about, a lot that we had to go through. Um, we'll be back next week with another episode of the Almost Famous podcast. Um, we're gonna bring on some guests, We're gonna do some in depths. Just stay tuned for some really exciting stuff along the way. Ashley, thank you, thank you for letting Jessica come on and talk about her massive accomplishment. This is a big deal in her life and I'm super confu so jealous honestly that she has the skill to extract her own close commodones. Could she teach me how to do that one time? Because like my estettitions like, I'm not teaching you because you shouldn't be doing it on your own. Yeah, I think she. I mean, I don't know, I don't know. I feel like all of my friends now, the guys too, when Jessica comes around, they're like, Hey, I have this thing on my face, can you come look at it? Like And it's kind of cool because I know it makes her feel love and she's doing something awesome and she loves what she's doing. She's probably so ecstatic right now. Uh's great advertisement for her own business because her skin looks incredible, that's right. And she's flying back here tonight because tomorrow's celebrate my thirty second birthday. Come on now, Oh my god, tomorrow your thirty two. So right now, you and I sound like we're two years apart. Wow. Yeah, isn't that wild? You sound so young at thirty one? You know now?
