And we're back. Another edition, hot off the presses, the almost famous OGs, with my OG lady friend, Trista, Sutter. Hi. Nay, Wren. Hi, good morning. It's early. Good morning to you.

It's early for you guys. It's kind of late here. I'm already at 11 o'clock. You guys are at 8 a.m. out there, 9 a.m. for you. Yes. And it's our fall break. So I'm trying to get as much sleep as possible these days. And yeah, waking up today was, I was like, wait, why am I doing this?

Why do we decide to do this to the crack a dawn? Oh, my gosh. Why did I text to everybody and say, do you want to do a podcast? You know what, though? I'm excited that you did because this is, this is, this is a behind the scenes action that I think people are starving for. So I'm excited that we get to show it to them. Yeah, it's exciting.

Are you watching Gary? Are you watching the show? I am. Yeah. Is it everything you wanted it to be this season, you know, bringing some of the, a little more of the mature crowd to the, because I know we talked about at the beginning of this season. I was super excited about it because I thought it was like the right thing to do. People who weren't motivated by an Instagram, you know, account selling tooth whitening strips

like I'm wearing right now. Get them at Trista suttonay-Rend.com. But, because I don't sell anything because I don't know how. But anyway, yeah, I feel like it's one of those things that like this was a promising start, you know, and I've been

watching some of it here and there. And there's been some drama moments. There's a few that are stirring up the sauce and drinking the Kool-Aid that I'm sure the producers are still putting in front of them. So we got that. But it's not like seasons past, right? There's still a very sincere, not that there hasn't always been a sincere lead, but there's a guy there that is just about as, as pure as the driven snow, right?

I mean, I love, I love Gary. So wholesome. Yes, I love, I love this season. I mean, we've had a lot going on. So I haven't been able to watch with, like, my friends are getting together in Denver on Thursday nights to watch. And I just so happen to be. in Vail, packing up this week. And so I got to get together with my pickleball friends because I was, of course, on the pickleball date. So, yes, being able to meet Gary and the ladies, you know, however long ago that was when we filmed a month or two, it definitely, like, I want to know, like, what's going on kind of behind the scenes of what I didn't get to see in person. But I love the show. I really truly feel like it is just like you said, sincere and mature and authentic.

And he is just so freaking wholesome. And I knew that the country would like root for him and get behind him, or at least I hoped. And I think that's what's happening. I mean, from what I understand, the ratings have been awesome. That's so cool. I was wondering that. I didn't know. Yeah, I think so.

I mean, I don't know the numbers for sure, but I know that, yeah, people have been more so than recent past seasons getting behind the show and watching. But yeah, I was like, you know what? Should we talk about kind of what I saw and what happened because, as you know, as all of us who have been watching the show for a while, no, or be part of the show, so much of the show ends up on the cutting room floor, especially this season because they're, I think it's only an hour. Was it an hour, hour and a half? I can't remember if it was an hour. I mean, I didn't see the whole thing. I haven't made it through an entire episode yet. Not due to not wanting to.

It's just that I have a four-year-old and two-year-old who I was just going to say absolutely refused to let me watch TV. Daddy duties, yeah. I get it. So because it's only an hour, they have to cut out so much. And I showed up and oh my gosh, it was just so much fun walking into the mansion knowing that they had no idea that I was there. And from what the producers had said, every single one of them, maybe not every single one of them, but whenever they asked, they were asked to who their favorite bachelorette was or who they watched or, you know, that kind of stuff.

It was, it was me and the season that we were on. Yes, you're the queen. Well, I think it's just because this demographic, like, I mean, I have a lot of older women, especially followers who I feel like watched the show back when we were on. And it was kind of, of their intro into the show they're they kind of like we've said um in the past they don't

necessarily relate as much to the 20 somethings and 30 somethings so yeah um you know they they followed it way back when so to walk into the house and like have them get so excited to see me it was like a fan event it was like a trista fan event right you walk in there like oh my god it was so cute Except Gary, except Gary. Except, yeah, right? Gary's like, so are you a producer? What are you? Yeah, I know.

No, are you on the social media team? So April and Faith had no idea who I was. They were like, I don't think they watched the show. So I had to explain to them what, you know, my story was. But we actually talked for quite a while. I want to say I was there for like 20 minutes, at least. And they asked me questions and I got to kind of hear what had happened with the dates and at least the most recent dates and really just get to know them a little bit, which was so much fun. I really love all of them.

I had no idea that there was any drama at all going on between Kathy and Teresa. Zip it. Zip it. What was that? Like, I was like, gosh, this is, I wasn't really a fan of that. No, I wasn't either. You can't be, you know, and I think I'm sure she's lovely, but you can't, you know, you can't be doing that to a, you know, someone of your own age.

I mean, I don't even do that to my kids. Yeah. No, and honestly, I don't feel like Teresa, there was no ill intent. She was just sharing her experience and not saying, anything about like, well, I've got this connection and you don't. I think it was just Kathy taking it personally. But the fact of the matter is she signed up for a show where he was dating multiple other women. Like, I don't know.

I just, I kind of felt like that's, that's silly. And Teresa is so incredibly sweet. I was going to say, you probably have a couple favorites, don't you, from being there and meeting them? I did. I loved Nancy. I did not see what happened to her foot. Did you see what happened to her foot? No.

No, I didn't see that. So she left. I loved Nancy. I love Susan. She is just so sweet and so supportive of the other women. I love Faith. She really, like they did not show her really at all on the Pickle Date, I felt like. But I felt like she really went for it.

and she had never played before, which I loved. And then Sandra, or Sandra, Sandra maybe, she had two knee replacements. And she was like our VIP that day for the pickleball date. She really went for it, too, played really hard and played really, really well, and had so much fun with it. And I love her sense of humor. She's actually really funny. um so and then the the best part kind of of that day well and also i love leslie she did she was on the one-on-one so she wasn't on the date that i was on but we got to she was you know on the

couch um when we were talking and i just love her she seemed so youthful um even though she's 64 she seemed so youthful and wanting to stay out of the drama like you know she was just so supportive and and kind when I walked in and um just seemed so happy to be there um and really enjoying um getting to know Gary so um and then did you take it easy on them I feel like you took it easy on it because you you're pretty athletic and I can see you know yeah you could gotten in there and whooped up on them. I thought that I was going to play, but me and Joey were kind of their coaches. So we were like helping them learn the game.

Oh, I was under the impression that you played probably off camera and they just didn't show it. And you, that's what I was thinking. So while we were waiting for something to happen, I was like, I want to play. And Gary was like, let's play. So Gary and I started playing. And then we ended up playing two of the producers. they joined in and me and Gary crushed him.

Nice. I was to say that on the show, but trust me, it happened. Trust me. It happened. I knew you'd be good at that sport. It's so much fun. I'm actually playing in an hour with my friends. So anyway, one thing that did not get shown was a conversation that Gary and I had.

And we were just, and I might have talked about this on another podcast. But after the tournament and we're all just kind of hanging out, they ordered lunch for us, we're like just sitting off camera. I think people were with us, like producers were with us. And then it was just he and I. And I sat next to him and just said, so how's it going? Like, are things happening? Are you interested in these ladies? Is it working for you?

And she's like, he's like, it's working. And he's like, I'm just having a hard time figuring out, you know, what to do. Because I think as we see in the previews, he is having a hard time choosing between at least two people. You know, I don't know if he's falling in love with two people, but he's definitely developing feelings for more than one person. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Wait a minute, Sam, maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot.

He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them.

I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not?

this. Attention passengers, the pilot is having an emergency and we need someone, anyone to land this plane. Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control. And they're saying like, okay, pull this, do this, pull that, turn this. It's just, I can do it my eyes close. I'm Manny. I'm Noah. This is Devon. And on our new show, no such thing, we get to the bottom of questions like these. says we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence. Those who lack expertise lack the expertise they need to recognize that they lack expertise.

And then as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what? Oh, that's the run right. I'm looking at this thing. See? Listen to no such thing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hola, it's HoneyGerman and my podcast, Grasias Come Again, is back.

This season we're going even deeper into the world of music and entertainment with raw and honest conversations with some of your favorite Latin artists and celebrities. You didn't have to audition? No, I didn't audition. I haven't auditioned in like over 25 years. Oh, wow. That's a real G-talk right there. Oh, yeah.

We've got some of the biggest actors, musicians, content creators, and culture shifters sharing their real stories of failure and success. You were destined to be a start. We talk all about what's viral and trending with a little bit of chisement, a lot of laughs, and those amazing Vibras you've come to expect. And, of course, we'll explore deeper topics dealing with identity, struggles, and all the issues affecting our Latin community. You feel like you get a little whitewash because you have to do the code switching?

I won't say whitewash because at the end of the day, you know, I'm me. But the whole pretending and coat, you know, it takes a toll on you. Listen to the new season of Grasasas Come Again as part of My Cultura podcast network on the IHartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I was wondering if I thought you were going to say something else right now. I honestly... What did you think I was going to say?

I thought you were going to say that he was having guilt. Like, we've never had someone in this position. I don't really care about the age who was in love and their spouse. passed away. You know what I mean? The love of their life that passed away. We've never had that before. And so in my mind, I thought that's where you were going. I got like the chills like thinking about it when you're talking because I was thinking, oh, my heart goes out to him because I wondered if that would be something he would experience. I'm actually glad that he's not because there's obviously nothing he can do, you know, to bring back the past. So from that perspective, I'm glad he's not

experiencing those emotions. But I thought that's where you were going. I wonder if he is, though. I mean, he hasn't shared on camera during the show. But, But he has said, like, Joan was somebody who left, who I loved. And I was really sad, like, after watching the show that she left before I got there, because I really think they had great chemistry. And I loved their relationship. And I thought she was dropped at gorgeous. Yeah.

Anyway, and she seemed like she had it all together and her priorities and everything. And they talked about it. They talked about, you know, how it's been hard. Like, people say that you should go on after a year, like wait a year and it should be better after a year. And they both were like, yeah, no, that didn't really work for me after a year. So I wonder, too, if there is some guilt, I know that he's got like a heart of gold. Like every single rose ceremony, he gets teary because it's so hard for him to say goodbye to somebody. and like, you know, kind of crush that relationship and say you're not like, I feel like

he's, he's feeling like he's telling them that they're not good enough when to me and you, we know that the reason that you say goodbye is because you just have to invest more time into the relationships where you're actually vibing and, you know, you know, you have to go in that direction. Yes. But, you know, but I actually, and I'm sure you probably do too, I relate. a little bit to that. Because I remember thinking, I mean, it was devastating to me when I, when I had to not give flowers to someone who was just a lovely person. You know what I mean?

I remember thinking, like, I would labor over it. And, you know, the producers were really good at making you feel like it was okay and, you know, that they're going to be fine. But then you watch the show and they're like in the limo balling. And, you know, you don't know that the producers are poking the bear. You know, think about it at the time to get on the crash. But I remember, I remember really having those feelings too. And I'm sure for him, especially you know, being more mature and having gone through a lot more relationally than I had at that point, he's probably seeing it like you're saying, like he's letting someone go

and, you know, it's going to be, you know, just horrible for them, you know? Yeah. Oh, I totally do too. I mean, that first, first row ceremony for me, I was crying. I was like, this is so hard to say goodbye to people. And it's not like they're not great people. Like, it's just that I, you know,

they might not be the right person for me. so anyway we were sitting there and he was just sharing that he was having you know feelings for multiple people and um or like more than one person i should say because i don't know what that number is um and i was just like can i give you some advice um like what people told me and i cannot remember who gave me this advice i don't know if it was my mom or what but um just that you need to find someone instead of finding someone that you can live with find someone that you can't live without and the producers after um i got home they were like um by the way uh he has been using your advice throughout the rest of the show and i thought oh they're totally not going to even talk about the fact that i you know kind of gave him that advice but he he did say you know trista gave me that i'm like oh yeah that's so cool conversation because it was like an off camera a moment, you know, that I thought there's no way they're going to use it because they don't

have the footage to, like, use it on the show. But so I'm so glad that it helped him in some way to be able to make that choice. Because if he really is, and it seems like he is really, really having a difficult time deciding when it gets down to it. um if that helped him at all that makes me happy so well here you are 20 years later still putting your stamp on the franchise oh still affecting the outcome i love it um well you know what i think that's awesome i love i love getting a little behind the scenes on this because it is a fascinating season um i mean i hate to admit this but you and i've talked about this before i checked

out for a couple seasons here and there i mean yeah you know your life gets so crazy busy this is one that I haven't seen every episode in its entirety, but I'm interested and I'm paying attention and I'm in it. And, you know, there's a couple ladies in there that I'm like, oh, man, I hope, I hope she's in the final four, you know, or whatever, just because you want them to feel, you know, I don't know, I just, I see my, it means terrible to say this, but I see my mom and so many of these ladies like, that's not terrible. That's just reality. Yeah. I mean, my dad passed away. My mom's lonely and it's like, yeah, I watched this show and my heart, goes out to them because I know, I know how that feels, not only from personal experience,

but really from watching my mom and what she's been going through the last couple of years. And it's so awesome. This show came along at just a really great time, I think, for everyone to have like a feel good. I know. You know, a thing to invest in, you know? Well, and also, so to your point, Joan was in the car when she was saying goodbye, like, you know, her like exit interview or whatever. Yeah.

And she was saying, you know, when you get older, it's really. hard because people kind of ignore you like you you aren't as important to people when you're older and I that broke my heart I'm like I it's so sad how this country treats older people you know because I think it I think she's right and I think that um I just love that that so many people are getting behind um these older more mature people who have had so much life experience and they deserve love so much. Maybe not more than anybody because I think everyone deserves love, but I truly feel like they, they deserve to find it again if they've, if they've been lucky to experience it. I agree with you. I think, you know, especially now that you have

times to invest, you know, not that you don't now, but like I think about my life right now and all we can do is draw parallels to our personal experiences. So I hope I don't come up narcissistic, making it about me. But. I think about how busy I am with work and the kids and I want to be, you know, I still want to make my wife have fun and go out to, you know, dinners and have dates, but it's like that becomes a thing that you don't always have the time for, right? Because you're so busy with everything else. And now these people are at this stage in their life where that's all they have time for, but they don't have the opportunities. And so it's really awesome that they've got this group of people there that now here's an opportunity. And granted, it's going to be. you know, a weird, surreal experience you're going to be doing stuff you wouldn't normally do on a date, but how awesome to have this at this stage in your life when you can really appreciate it. I mean, I may have taken some stuff for granted back when I was The Bachelor, you know, I mean, I'm sure I did now when I look back on it. I mean, I guess I always thought

I'd be, you know, going into volcanoes and a chopper just having, you know, a random conversation. You do it. You're like, oh, yeah, I'm going to be on the top of Igloo in Alaska, top of an iceberg. But it's like, you know, now these people are going through it. They're like, whoa, if they're so mind-blown over stuff that is just really, you know, I just think it's really nice to see the appreciation and the gratitude to borrow a word from Trista Sutter, Ney Wren. But, you know, you're always really big on gratitude. And I think that being able to see the gratitude that they have for being a part of it.

And there hasn't been any exits that I can remember on the show on this season where it's been like a whatever, Gary, you know, you don't deserve all of this. There hasn't been any of that. It's been No, everyone's sad. Genuine sadness, you know, because he's such a great guy. They cast the hell out of this show, I think.

They did a great job. Oh, the casting people did such a phenomenal job. I mean, honestly, I just love all of them. I really wish that I could connect with them more. I really want them to have a big reunion with, like, everybody, every single person. I know. I just, I don't know.

I love them here. I think we should start having some interviews from, you know, the OGs should be interviewing some of the castoffs, you know, because they know us. They, well, you know what? It's funny that you say that. We are OGs, but they are OGs of their season. They are OGs for real. They are original.

Yep, I agree. We need to have. You're so right. We need to have them come on our show because they are technically OGs. Not that Ben and Ashley are a couple whippersnappers who don't deserve some good interviews, because they do. And we love them. They are the namesake of our podcast.

But I think, you know, we may relate a little differently to the people at this point, you know, that are on these seasons. And, you know, not really, but I guess we can still fit. Yeah, right. But we can definitely come from a different place. So guys, anyway, if anyone's listening, we'd love to have you on the show. You know, make sure you call us. Let us know that you want to be on the OG edition.

And we'll be happy to have you. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Well, wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot.

I'm looking at this thing. Listen to no such thing on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Everyone thinks they'd never join a cult. But it happens all the time. to people just like you. And people just like us. I'm Lola Blanc. And I'm Megan Elizabeth.

We're the host of Trust Me, a podcast about cults, manipulation, and the psychology of belief. Each week we talk to fellow survivors, former believers, and experts to understand why people get pulled in and how they get out.

Trust me. New episodes every Wednesday on Exactly Right. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. I love seeing Joey, too. He is awesome. I'm really excited for his season. And the ladies loved him.

Oh, sure. He's a good-looking dude. I get it. Yeah, it was just such a day. It was a freaking scorcher, I will say. It was so hot, so hot that I can't. Do they have paramedics on standby? Do they have, you know, plenty of hydrating fluids available?

Yeah. They also had like tents and like a mister thing that was like spring. That's smart. I hate to say it, but it's true, right? You got to be smart about it. Oh, it was, it was a scorcher. But it was worth it. It was just just so much fun.

So I just want to thank the Bachelor producers and the execs for having me back because as I've said on here, I kind of felt like I was like, I was never getting asked back. And I'm like, what have I done wrong? I have done something wrong. I never get to go back on the show. And to actually go back to the mansion and connect with them was just really sweet. So thank you to the producers for thinking of me. It was great.

And hey, guys, her co-host has never been asked back either. And we all understand why. We get it. So, hey, I do have this. I want to tell you something really great that just happened recently. So it's Halloween season, right? And we, you know, my kids are huge at a Halloween. My son, Grayson, who's four, he's got like 16 costumes for this, this particular Halloween, you know, thing.

And we went to this little area right near my town called South Lion, and they have a library there where at the Southamine Public Library, and they do this big, you know, parade through the woods, and you can collect all these candies and toys and stuff. And I'm just, you know, you know how I am. I just move about my way, just sort of without a clue, you know, just staying. you know, I don't really think about too much. Blessing and a curse. Blessing and a curse for me. So I'm walking through the library. I'm carrying my two-year-old Blake and so on these ladies are standing there.

And I was like, oh, they're going to, you know, they're going to say something about the bachelor probably. And they're like, aren't you almost famous? Oh, geez. I go, what? What? And they're like, we listen to every episode. We love you and Trista so much. I'm like, well, this is great.

So then I'm like, let's make some pictures. But it was so funny because normally it's the Bachelor stuff, right? Or whatever. It was Almost Famous O.G's what they led with. We listen to Almost Famousel X every episode. I'm like, that's so great. Handle it. Oh, my gosh.

I love that. We have arrived. We have arrived. Oh, that is amazing. Oh, I love that. Oh, shout out to those women. I don't know your names, but thank you for listening. The South Lion Library Halloween ladies.

You know, hello. Yes. Thanks for listening. You know, it's funny because I feel like I need to also talk about, and maybe I shouldn't, but. I bet you, I'm just going to guess on something. I bet you I'd have something to do with the fake fall, the ankle twist. No, the ankle twist, actually, which is funny, because I was told by the producers that I didn't know that it was happening in the moment, but afterwards they were like, just so you know,

she is she totally fake this and you she said that last night on the episode yeah she totally did and she winked you totally said it but i thought she like i hadn't seen it happen all i saw was her laying down after it happened and so i was like i was trying to console her i didn't know that they were going to make this like a big thing so i was literally in there like holding her up kind of so she could She was kind of sitting weird. And so I was holding her up. And of course, they were like, let Gary get in there. And I'm like, oh, yeah, right.

Oh, okay. I get it now. I mean, that's funny. That's actually really funny. You know, that's like the old school movies. You'd watch the old school movies. Like even in back the future, like, oh, the fake faint, you know. I was like, oh my gosh.

You know, it's like, you know, just a way to get the attention of a man you are fancying, as they say. Exactly. no, she totally went for it and I love her personality. April is hysterical and she actually is totally a girl's girl, like was completely supportive of everyone too.

But yeah, I feel like she's kind of in there a little bit for like she'll do anything. You know, obviously she'll just she'll fall. She'll pick a ball just so she can get time with Gary. Trista, guess what?

Not to say that I'm not paying 100% attention because I am, but I'm sitting there, sitting here talking to you, and all of a sudden my phone vibrates, I look, and it's Jack French. Jack. From our season of The Bachelorette. That's crazy. And you know what? How crazy?

Actually, now that you're saying that, Brooke Pemberton just reached out to Ryan yesterday and just kind of was like, I hope everything's okay. Our dog is just is going through a hard time. And it's just been a rough little while little patch for us with Ryan, you know, obviously trying to stay healthy. Well, he posted something the other day that was so just so Ryan, just so genuine and sincere, letting people. And he's not, as we both know, he's not, you know, Mr. Here I am, you know, take a look

at me ever. And so for him to share, you know, some stuff like that. And I read it and I was like, I looked at it and read the whole thing. And I was like, you know, I was watching what people posted and stuff. And I'm like, I'm just going to let them know I read it. Because I don't think Ryan needs me to be like, you know, call me, man. But I think it's really cool that Brooke called. I mean, Brooke had, or Brooke reached out.

It's been a long time since those two have connected, I'm sure. So that's awesome. I think that's really cool. Isn't that sweet? I was like, oh, that's really sweet, Brooke. So if you're listening, thank you for reach out. Yeah, thank you, cowboy, Brooke. Very kind.

Thanks for sharing. I think, you know, for me, that was a reason to tune in was to see you on the show. And, you know, definitely make sure that, you know, I got to, I see you make your cameo. Much deserved. We need more of that. I think Trista needs to be back on every episode. Let's do it. I don't know if I can do everything.

Although they, if they do a golden bachelorette, I. Oh, you have to be. Okay. Sign me up. I am there. I would, oh. You should be co-hosting that and be like the one that's in, you know, in the deliberation room. When, when, you know, Jesse goes in a chest.

on the bachelor the bachelor the bachelor at you should be out there talking to the guys like guys i mean this is really serious go and be their friend i just want to go and be their friend and be like okay what's going on like um that's where they might need to bring me in actually on that one right like they might need to bring me in and be like dude you really should dance a jig and tell this guy that you do tybo and you'll relate to everyone that's what i did and i'm still here 20 years later it's so weird oh my gosh i also wanted to say i heard wells do an interview And he was talking about how he is dying for them to do a golden bachelor in paradise, which I am wholeheartedly all about. Like, if they have to do a golden bachelorette.

They just have to. And if they do, I really hope that Joan is the golden bachelorette. She's the one who left for her daughter. And I mean, there's multiple other people that could be. But I think she was since she had to leave and she didn't get the full. experience, I would love for her to be. And then if they have a golden bachelor in paradise, like maybe it's not in Mexico because they don't want these, you know, older, um, older personalities, uh, dying of heat. Um, maybe it's, you know, I don't know,

Colorado. Uh, Detroit's nice. Detroit's nice in the fall. You know, the two, uh, the two, the two former people from the show that don't live anywhere near Tinsletown. Come see us for this season. Oh, that's funny. I would love that. I would love to see more of this because I

just, I I just root for these people. I like nothing else. I think it makes perfect sense. I think it makes perfect sense. And you know they will with ratings going up. I mean, one thing that ABC and all the powers that be, one thing they're really good at is, you know,

catch a lightning in a bottle and knowing it. So I think that they'll probably run with this. I'm hoping they will anyway. So I just hope that the guys come on. If they do a golden bachelorette, I hope that the guys they cast are as good as the women that they cast for this season for Gary because, like I said, like you and I both just said,

the casting crew did a great job on this. And, you know, if they can find some guys like that who don't come in trying to be like, you know, a 70-year-old Fabio, I think it'll be, you know, great. Because no offense to Fabio, But you know what I'm saying. I think Bobby O might be 70. Totally.

Okay. Amazing. But thank you all for listening to Almost Famous the OGs. Trista, thank you for showcasing your charm and your just empathy on the shell. Made it a better episode for me. Thank you. Great to see you on the big screen again. Thank you.
