kids vape serious, which warrants a serious conversation from a serious parental figure like yourself. Not the seriously know-at-all sports dad or the seriously smart podcaster. It requires a serious conversation that is best had by you. No, seriously. The best

person to talk to your child about vaping is you. To start the conversation, at talk about vaping.org, brought to you by the American Lung Association and the Ad Council.

This is the almost famous podcast. And we are celebrating this upcoming season of The Bachelorette by posting a enormous amount of episodes. They're going to be short. They're going to be fun.

They're going to be with some exciting guests. But it's going to be a party leading up to this season. This episode is very special. On a previous episode, we did mention all the men that were going to be joining this season of the Bachelorette. but one thing we didn't do on purpose was pick who we think are going to be in our final three. Today we're going to do that along with doing 10 superlatives. So we're going to give 10 people the credit of being either the biggest prankster, the villain, all of those right here on this podcast.

So pull up the list, the cast, go through this with us. Tell us if you disagree or agree. I'm going to guide us through it because Ashley is so good at this. You know that it's because I don't like judging books by their covers. It makes me feel awkward. It makes me feel like I'm going to get shit. Now listen, you need to pull up the ABC.com so you can see all the faces at once. I just sent you the link.

And people out there listening, make sure do you go to ABC.com slash shows slash the dash bachelorette slash cast. That's where we're going to be able to see all the faces at once. All right. Here we go. Now, number one, superlative we're going to hand out to this cast. Ashley, you get to start here, is most likely to get the first impression rose. Who do you think it's going to be? Well, my first thought is, are there going to be two first impression roses?

I'd say yes, so let's pick two. I'm going to say Gabby's first impression rose is going to go to Johnny. Gabby's first impression rose for me is going to go to Matt. All right, let's go with Rachel's first impression rose. Rachel's first impression rose is going to go to Jason. And my vote is Eric. He's 29 years old. He's a real estate analyst from Bedminster, New Jersey.

All right. Number two, most likely to be the biggest prankster. Prankster? That's Joey, the 24-year-old twin from Brookfield, Connecticut. I have to agree with that. I just, I look at his picture. I'm like, this guy is up to something. I don't know what it is yet.

we're going to find out. All right, who is most likely to be the villain, Ashley? The villain is. You go first. It's like no one's standing out to me. Everybody's smiling. Yeah. Actually, I came up with it.

Okay, who is it? Alec 27 wedding photographer from Houston, Texas. Mine is going to be Justin B. He's a 32-year-old physical therapist from Solano Beach, California. I just look at that, and I think that guy spends a lot of time. on his hair. He's got really white teeth. I know.

You're very suspicious of him. I'm very suspicious of this man. Most likely to have a significant other back home. This one's easy for me. Termaine. He's a crypto guy, okay? 28. I'm going to say Joey.

So he's already a risk taker. I'm going to say Joey. I think Joey does. I think I just get a feeling that Joey is going to be a big part of this season. And I think it's going to be a storyline for him. that he came on here, even though he gets some attention to TikTok. Looking at this, I'm torn with Joey and, and Termaine now. But I'm going to go with the crypto guy because he's a risk taker.

Most likely to be a virgin. This one stands out at me very blaringly. It's John, a 26-year-old English teacher from Nashville. Mine's Hayden, 29-year-old leisure executive from Tampa, Florida. I don't know what a leisure executive is, but I don't think he spends a lot of time doing anything other than leisuring which means he's probably not getting out much wouldn't leisuring mean that they are going out like and he's just like drinking as as his occupation i guess what you consider restful is up to you every but i know you picked him because his face his photo looks

most like the 40 year old virgin he's just a pure man he's a pure man i believe in that until the day that i don't most likely to get too drunk on a date too drunk on a date too drunk on on a date. Justin Y, the other twin. Okay, fair enough. Mine's going to go with Colin. He's a 36-year-old sales director from Chicago. I know the people in Chicago, they can get after it,

and I just feel like he's down for a good time, but his good time is going to bite him in the butt. Again, Ben's better at this than me, because I'm looking at Colin's face, too, and I'm like, oh, this guy is just in it for fun. Just in it for fun. He's the sloppo at the bar. Most likely to get into a fist fight with one of the other guys.

Fist fight, Fist fight, Fist fight. Mario, 31-year-old personal trainer. Not because he's a personal trainer, but because he has the smile that says, I can be friendly, but I can also be super obnoxious. Well, that's fair. I'm going to go with Ryan. Ryan looks like, I think it's just because he looks so much like Chad Johnson.

He just looks like a guy that. can, that likes to fight. And he's from Boston. And, you know, I know, I know, he's a, he's a fighter. He's a fighter. Yeah. Jared is a fighter. Jared's a fighter. Most likely to go on Bachelor in Paradise. Tyler. Tyler. Tyler. Tyler. Because he has that boyish charm that neither of these girls are going to see their husband in. But like, he's going to be somebody that everybody likes hanging out with. My vote's going to be Jordan V. V is a 27-year-old drag racer from Alfred to Georgia. And if you're a drag

racer and you don't end up with somebody on the Bachelorette, you really are used to and down to have a great time. And so I just think Batchel in Paradise is kind of what he's made for. I think he's going to enjoy that. I actually think that's probably why he's going on the show. Most likely

to go on a two-on-one date. Well, it's got to be somebody who's very prevalent in the cast, who is not afraid to speak up, who could be villainous or could just hate the villain. I'm going to go with Avin, 28-year-old sales exec from San Diego. He seems like he is involved. He gets involved in things easily. There is no shot the show would give the title of Meatball Enthusious to somebody that won't

at least make an impression. That's why my vote is going to be, it's going to be James versus, I think it's Robbie. Yes, Robbie on the two-on-one date. Both of them have long hair both of them are going to really dislike each other they're going to go at each other and it's going to be a two-on-one date over who has the better mid-level cut of hair okay okay and then most likely get sent home on night one oh see I go with meatball enthusiast here okay because he's gonna show up with well you know what I think Gabby's gonna like a man who shows up with meatballs but you know that he already starts out as like a joke.

I bet he does. I just think that joke will last him a while. I'm going to go with Kirk. Yeah, I know. I'm wrong. Kirk is a 29-year-old college football coach. He's a good-looking fella. But I just don't see him as I look at his picture with Gabby or Rachel.

And so I just feel like he will be going home on night one. That's Kirk. Okay. Ashley, the moment so many people have been waiting for. Who are going to be in your top three? My top three. well do we do a top three for each of the girls

how about you do Gabby and I'll do Rachel okay ready Gabby um Zach Jordan Jordan and Avon that's great you didn't take any of mine

so I've got Jordan H for Rachel I've also have Matt for Rachel I think Matt is going to make a great impression. And finally, Tino. Tino is one that's kind of gone under the radar here. When I look at his picture, I just feel like he looks like he could belong alongside of Rachel. So I'm going to go Tino, Jordan H, and Matt here. I don't know what it is about Matt. But Matt just has this smile that says, hey, he is in it to win it. And I think I could see

him at the very end of this. Well, hey, as we mentioned at the beginning, please fall along with us with this. This is a huge, huge couple weeks as we prepare for The Bachelorette. Ashley and I are going to be putting out so many really, we're really excited because we have some incredible guests, don't we? We have so many guests coming up, guys. So stay tuned. We're trying to do a podcast every day leading up to the premiere. We'll have Ryan and Trista on. We'll have Clayton and Susie on, maybe Michelle and Becca. I'm just throwing some
