Listen wherever you get your podcasts. This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast with IHartRadio. It's another week of the Almost Famous Podcast. And Ashley, this honestly may be one of my favorite episodes every year. well I mean this is the episode where we kind of give our first impressions on the group of guys on this coming season and it's unfortunate that these were released on Tuesday just hours after we recorded you know our podcast on Monday afternoon and it was like oh darted but here we are we've had a little bit to digest I've looked at the pictures multiple times and the guys who do stand out to me I'll say something about but Ben and I we've talked a little bit before.

this podcast started to record and we just want to say like if we don't have something to say about the guy based on this on the picture i'm not going to make up something to say about him so i might be like i got nothing and don't feel offended guys who i have nothing for just means that i don't want to judge you just on a picture hey before we get to the the men of this season we do have hot topics in bachelor nation we're going to talk about actually let's roll through these now first topic to discuss bachelor matt james reacts to claire crawley's new bachelor at cast which again we'll be talking about in just a few minutes oh my god this is so funny like how what they can take and make an article about it um it is one little uh comment under loren zima's picture

So Lauren Zima announced, you know, that Claire's, the photos had been released. And then Matt James, all he says is, I'm tuned in popcorn emoji. She's going to be great. And then we got this very clickbaity headline that says, Bachelor of Matt James reacts to Claire Crawley's new task. That's story worthy. Story worthy right there. Hey, Matt, hey, shocker. Matt James will be watching a season of The Bachelorette.

Hey, well, next story is a little more shocking, but not necessarily surprising. Kelly Flanagan, who is Peter Weber's girlfriend, says fellow Bachelor stars Victoria Fuller and Chris Souls are, and I quote, this is from People magazine, Madly in Love. Well, if you read the article and read the quote, it says that Victoria, seems to be madly in love. It doesn't say anything about Chris, but we'll go ahead and say it seems like the two of them are in love after starting a relationship in April.

And the other revealing thing in this article is that Kelly believes that the two were kind of connected through Kelsey Weir because she's also from Iowa. And I know that she had met Chris a time or two before or during her season. I mean, hey, we've talked about this story. we have very little insight on it they've kept this very secretive but we're happy for them i just we've tried to get them on the podcast i mean i would love to be able to talk to chris and victoria about it but it seems like things are still going well maybe the biggest update there

is yes they are still together well speaking to kelly flanagan bachelor peter webber and kelly flanagan reveal they're in love moving in together soon this according to e t on line. Well, they did an interview with Lauren Zima this week and one, they're in love and he told her he was in love with her with a gumball machine ring. You know, those little gumball machine rings. So like basically you'd like turn the thing and then like a little plastic thing comes out. Okay, so they were sitting poolside recently, you know, the past couple months. And he was like, I know this isn't a Neal Lane ring. It's a gumball machine ring. But I just hope it shows, like, my love for you.

So that was how they did the I love yous. And then moving in together soon, that is going to happen in New York City in either late August or early September. Kelly said that quarantining and working from home during all of this has made her realize that she can do a lot of her work. I think that will still be Chicago-based because I think she worked for her dad's law firm. anywhere and of course Peter can basically live anywhere he wants since he is he travels for a living big news for them I mean this is going well they you know it doesn't feel that long ago because it really wasn't that this was like are they dating are they not and then all of a sudden he showed up in Chicago and then they quarantined together and then they did the TikTok stuff together

and then we interviewed them together and now they're in love this feels like okay Ashley, I want to pause this here and get your opinion. Okay. And I want to get everybody else's opinions also. If you're listening, please write us in at the Almost Famous Podcast. You can email us at Ben and Ashley at iHeartMedia.com. Or just tweet us and hashtag Almost Famous Podcast. Would we consider this?

Do you, I guess, consider this a Bachelor success story similar to the Ari Lauren's story if they get married? Yeah, definitely. Definitely a Badger success story. In also the kind of way that Jared and I, not to make this narcissistic, kind of are. You know what I mean? It's just like, it doesn't mean that we weren't with other people since the time we met. It means that we ended up together in the end. Is there comparisons, though, between Ari and Lauren? I mean, right away, he went to Lauren, who was obviously the runner up in the season. We saw that play out the way it did. We didn't get to see that with Peter. There's all. happened after the filming of the show but there i mean i feel like there's a lot of similarities between maybe all three of your stories and many other stories in bachelor nation yeah i think i think absolutely i think it's very similar to lauren nari yeah well uh we haven't heard this name in a while we had him in an in-depth episode just a few months ago and it was one that was really special i'm sorry to go back but now that i think about it it is a little bit different from laura because when already picked Becca I feel like he was like

I'm doing this because I'm going with my head and not my heart and with Peter I actually think that he like almost overlooked Kelly for a while but that was because she just wasn't suited well for reality TV what do you think like her real personality and their real chemistry couldn't come out on the show but I do think it did it did when they met each other prior to the show at that wedding in California. Yeah, from a 30,000 foot view,

they look very similar. When you get down on the details, there's definitely their differences. And one of the biggest differences is just what needed to happen in order for Peter and Kelly to come together. But they are together. And as I was just getting ready to say,

we haven't heard this name in a while. Blake Hortzman, who was on an in-depth episode just a few months ago as well, has talked to us a magazine and admitted that he is dating someone new, he and I quote says we are going slow yeah he said this on Taylor no one's podcast this week and he said that every time he gets into a relationship he's like okay I'm ready let's go boom and it's serious and he's like in love super super fast and he says and they never work out so he's

hoping that having a different approach will mean possibly a different ending or not an ending and he also said she doesn't live in Colorado and they've been doing a lot of zooming hey that virtual stuff i do long distance it ain't all bad i mean we're we're super happy for blake uh it is great to hear that he is trying it sounds like here's what i take away from this story knowing blake is a friend knowing blake personally it it's it's obvious he cares about this person if he's trying to do things differently than he's done before because he wants to see it work like he's putting effort into it have you talked to him about it i haven't Nope, I've been gone.

So I've not been back. I need to see him, especially with this headline coming up. But it's also like with Chris, it's like I'm not going to text Chris, hey, how's your relationship going? Even though, like, when he's here in L.A., we hang out. There's just, like, certain things that you, like, reserve for the in-person hang. Yeah, well, exactly. I mean, you know, Blake's an actual friend. I don't want to call him, like, hey, Gary good on my podcast.

Who you date and why? Well, these two stories are our big ones. They relate, yet I think one defeats the other. And you'll know what I'm saying here in a second. Hang with me for a second here. Cosmopolitan came out with an article that spread last week pretty quickly. It said Bachelor fans are convinced. And yes, convinced Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph are secretly hanging at the beach.

Now, this coming off of the week before where Cassie and Colton were publicly kind of going back and forth. at each other. Cassie claimed that Colton was monetizing their breakup. Colton was upset with Cassie for speaking out publicly. Well, so we were all kind of like, what the heck is going on that they're now hanging out? This must have been a makeup retreat. Well, it sounds like that was never true. So it could just be a coincidence that they both happened to be at the beach at the same time, which it very, very well could have, but also it could have been like a slight way of like a saying to the fans, hey, we're hashing this act. Am I reaching?

Yeah, you're reaching. Okay. You're definitely, Cassie, I don't think Cassie would at all be into that. From, like, the thing she said, from the way, you know, the comments she's made, I don't think, even if they were trying to hashed out, that's great. But I don't think either, I mean, think about that conversation that would have been have to do that. It's like, hey, we want to make sure people start talking about this as we're trying to heal a broken relationship that's vitally important. So let's make sure to post about it so that the rumors can spread. Like, I don't, I don't see Gassie being down for that.

Okay, okay. You're probably right. And I don't know how that would work. And if anybody thought that that was the start of, like, them rekindling things, absolutely not. Not a chance. Not a chance at all. So today we woke up to the news that Colton has been hanging out with Lucy Hale. They've been taking multiple walks over the past couple weeks around Hollywood.

And I got to say, the picture. that's out there thanks to TMZ. If it's a picture of like a fan who caught a, you know, caught them and just took like a quick phone picture, okay. But if that was a picture taken by a paparazzi, that paparazzi was totally called upon because paparazzi aren't just hanging around in the trails. Right? I was going to say that was my biggest question for you.

You've spent time in L.A. I never have. So I don't know like Denver doesn't have paparazzi. so I don't know how they work. I see them in L.A. every once in a while. But, like, this picture is literally taking on the side of a hill. And, like, if you look at the picture, Colton's, like, looking up at the camera. Yeah. So, like, if this, it has to be a fan.

And if it's not, like, I know, I never realize this. This is something I've learned. So anybody out there listening, you can, you might learn something with me here. I didn't realize that people actually called upon paparazzi to take pictures of them while they're out in LA so that they make magazine. Okay. I didn't know that was a thing. Did you know that apparently like 75 to 80% of paparazzi shots are planned when it's like

grocery store outings, like coffee shop meetings, stuff like that? No, I always. Yeah. Beach especially beach is almost always planned. The only ones that are really genuine are red carpet and event paparazzi shots. So like don't be, I'm not, I wouldn't be super surprised at the paparazzi. was called. I mean, just, I mean, like, no shade or anything, but especially after this hostile week that Colton and Cassie had that maybe he was like, I don't want to throw him under the bus

because I really, really do like Colton. He's one of my favorites. But, you know, after this week of hostility between Cassie and Colton, being seen with Lucy Hale would be kind of, he'd feel kind of cool about it, don't you think? Yeah, I mean, I just, I always, I still blows my mind that people call paparazzi come take pictures of him like that just i don't even know how to wrap my head around that uh but it is a thing being seen with lucy hale is is a is a great deal i mean i hope it's a real relationship like i hope i mean actually i don't even know if i think that let me backtrack there because this is fast and like i know how it feels to be on the other end of that and it hurts and so seeing your partner who you just ended a relationship with move on like

everybody doesn't i'm not saying he shouldn't be doing this there there's no timeline for when somebody should move on but i know it hurts and i know it feels like the band-aids being ripped off and so like i want this to be a real thing for colton but i also also want to just take a second be like man this probably sucks a little bit for cassie and it probably sucks for colton too because the rumors are now swirling um but i did see that lucy hale in 2018 when colton's season was airing said that she really enjoyed watching him so she said he was beautiful to watch she thought it was a great guy so yeah things things could be this could be something they're definitely hanging out uh it you know what i'm ready now for the cassie colton stuff to just move on from

because it just every time i see the headlines it feels heavy for me because i just know how painful it is to continue to get stuff brought up about your exes and your past like it's time to move on let colton go and do his own thing he's not the bachelor anymore we got a great bachelor coming up and if he wants to date lucy hale let him go date lucy hale like you know that's kind of how i feel now ben have you met lucy uh i have she's so nice i i think she's lovely um my my best friend also assisted her over new year's rock and eve that whole week and she was like she's the best person to work with. So nothing but great things to say about Lucy Hill. Hey, it could be something. I'm saying like we wish them the best. Just the headlines hurt. I know they hurt.

So sensitivity there. But Cassie and Coulton are definitely not hanging out. Hey, uh, your friends, my friends, uh, Bachelor and Paradise couple Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert reveal the sex of their baby. They're having a boy. Where we go. So, uh, Brooks and this baby boy are going to be really close in age they're going to be about a year and three months apart so i imagine that's like really nice for a sibling friendship yeah no it's awesome good for them uh they just have beautiful babies great babies uh happy for those two and uh and finally uh kately bristow reveals her biggest dance with the stars fears and fellow bachelor Hannah brown's advice now all this being said we just found out this week that dance with the stars will be changed pretty

drastically, the familiar face of Tom Bergeron and Aaron Andrews will no longer be there and replaced with Tyra Banks. I don't think they've announced if she'll have a co-host or a sidekick. I don't know what you call that or not, but Tyra Banks is taking over dance with the stars. It is a whole new generation for this show and Caitlin Bristow is going to be a part of it. So Caitlin says that she has two big fears going into this. One is that she hasn't been in this kind of prime time spotlight for of course a number of years and she said it took her a couple years to like kind of get over having that magnifying glass all the scrutiny on her to that degree so she's kind of afraid of like criticism that may come her way and then her second fear is that she doesn't know how to ballroom dance

she's been dancing all her life but she's never ballroom dance and she's like what if i get eliminated night one she also said that it's kind of nerve-wracking to hear that hannah who is 10 years her junior said that it's exhausting and that she needs to rest up now. Okay. So, and just if my unfiltered opinion could be spread, Caitlin Bristow is going to be fine. Yeah, I know. These fears are, I don't want to dismiss her fears.

If I was with her in person, though, I'd say, Caitlin, you're, come on. You are a terrific dancer. It doesn't matter if you ballroom dance or not. You're a great dancer. You have rhythm. You have the angles, whatever you do when you dance. The tenure, the junior thing, Caitlin is in great shape. She is incredibly fit.

She's going to be fine. Yeah, she's going to be fine. And she's going to be great. And I think she's going to win. Of course, we don't know who else is going to be on her season yet. Caitlin's the only person announced. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of unknowns right now. Obviously, a lot of change with the answer with the stars.

but all in all you know what i think kately will win will she definitely win is she a show and no i mean there's there's a lot of but she'll make it night one let's not let's not be crazy kately came out with a song on spotify and it became the number one song within like two days so like i mean if that doesn't tell you what people are willing to do to support kately bristow i don't know what does hey uh ashley we've got a lot of stuff still to talk about today um claire crawley's men were announced this week we got to break them down we're going to give a few opinions just without i haven't even looked at these pictures yet a few just straight up opinions on what these people are what we think of these men that will come on her

season but before we do let's take a break when we come back we'll be talking about claire crawley's season of the bachelor's Hi, my name is Enya Yumanzoor. And I'm Drew Phillips.

Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear 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 in my eyes closed. I'm Mani. I'm Noah. This is Devin. And on our new show, No Such Thing, we get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as 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 I Heart Radio.

I feel like this is my destiny. 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 what I'm me? Yeah.

But the whole, pretending and cult, you know, it takes a toll on you. Listen to the new season of Grasas Has Come Again as part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Welcome to Brown ambition.

This is the hard part when you pay down those credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem. year from now. When you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan, starting with your local credit union, shopping around online, looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets. I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt when it weighs on you. It's really easy to just like

stick your head in the sand. It's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it and in fact it may get even worse. For more judgment-free money advice, listen to Brown Ambition on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. We're back and we're going to be breaking down the recently announced men from Claire Crawley's season of The Bachelorette, which will be, I mean, coming out pretty, I mean, not really soon, but semi-soon. Right now they are filming, as we understand. understand. Oh my God, today. Today's the first day. Today's the first day. Night one should be tonight. At least that's what we hear. They are filming at the Lakeinta Resort in California. This is a super nice place. As we talked about last week, you can get it on that podcast and hear

some of the details around it. Producer Amy's been there many times. She kind of explained what it is, what it will look like, how it will operate. Now, as we do every season, this is one of our favorite times. This might be the meanest we ever are all season to these men individually because we know nothing about them. I don't know one single guy. Ashley doesn't know one single guy. We haven't looked at their pictures yet. This is the most surface level thing I probably do in my life. The vainest thing. Oh, it's wild Ashley. So here's how it's going to work. We're going to run through these guys. I'm going to say their name and where they're from. Ashley will then say one or two words about them. I will then say one or two words about them without knowing them

personally at all, then we'll just continue to move on. Following all of this, we'll pick our favorite top three. I'll pick my top three. Ashley will pick her top three. We recommend all the listeners pick their top three and we'll follow them as the season goes. Ashley, before we get started, we were getting ready to do this. We got the rundown and the headline says 42 men. I don't know where this came from. 42 men got announced on to Claire Crawley's season of The Bachelet. What, okay, we don't, we don't have any info on why that would there be so many. But Ashley, I ask you, like, do you have any theories?

We have no problem with it. I love the fact she has more to choose from than I think anybody has. But I have, my only theory is that, like, night one, she's going to eliminate half of them. Or, or because they're not traveling and they have more time for her to, to just, like, sit down and chat with everyone. Maybe they are just going to have more guys. 42 is so many. Actually, 42 is so many people.

Think about the last time you sat. And, okay, here's a good example. In high school, my classes were, like, 45 kids. So, like, I think about these huge, there are big. You had 45 people when you're in high school. Wow. Well, no, just like per class room. That's a lot.

It was a lot of people. Yeah. So think about, like, one of the, like, I look at that classroom. I'm thinking all those people would be. there to try to date that is ridiculous absolutely ridiculous well some of the things i'm looking for as we go through this list uh is mostly your opinions because you always have great uh first impressions but second is maybe the thing that's going to stand out and be a storyline all season is the age of these men with the age range still too young in my opinion and we we should mention before going

on the list that of these 42 men 25 of them are new names so they weren't announced in march with the first set and 17 of them are men from the original cast announced in March well here we go we're going to start up first in blue AJ he's 28 years old from Irvine California again everything is in good fun here everything is Ashley just get started you're good fine he's a nerd bomber yeah AJ AJ's pretty and blue uh and he's wearing all blue he also looks like catfish is Neve. Alex 28 from El Paso, Texas. He's probably hotter than his picture is showing here.

Great thigh definition. Yes. Yeah, his picture. Could be Bradley Cooper like, but not in this picture. No, he's looking too much up at the stars. This looks, you know what I see here is this man is going to have a great influencer career because he knows how to model for a picture and he has no shame in doing it. we got ben 29 from oh yeah indianapolis indiana oh uh i think he's full of himself he's a midwesterner

and every midwesterner is amazing so i think he's going to be fine okay uh this is my first impression of ben okay massive arms on the dude just though a massive man massive arms been it 37 from atlanta georgia is he mitt romney's son oh my gosh actually that's such a You know who else? He kind of, you say that. And the, is it the O'Connell, who used to be a bachelor? Oh, Jerry O'Connell, his brother. Yeah, like, very Mitt Romney O'Connell-like.

Yeah, totally. Looks like a politician. Oh, man. He's a man. Yeah, he is. He's put together. Blake Monar 30, Rockport, Indiana. Rockstar wannabe slash starving artist.

I don't know where you get tattoos at in Indiana, but he definitely found his. place um blake moines 29 burlington ontario canada our first canadian benzy looking and will be benzy like here's my first thought actually you could literally put me in front of this guy he could stand there with his arms behind his back and somebody would say punch him as hard as you can in the jaw and my hand would break and his jaw wouldn't move that man that man has a a jaw on him yeah Just fierce. Brandon, 28, Cleveland, Ohio.

Oh, oh, you like Brandon. Oh, Brandon's a haughty. Brandon's got great skin. He looks like Aladdin. We all know I like Aladdin. He really does. Brendan, 30, Milford, Massachusetts. Yeah, this guy's going to be the annoying one that's like, he's here from the wrong

reasons. Mm-hmm. You know what he kind of reminds me of? Who? Evan. Really? Facially? yeah like from the picture like i think this dude's going to surprise us i think like his picture

set up for him to be for us to be like yeah this guy's not going to be around much at all and then all of a sudden we see him either in paradise i don't think he's the winner but he's going to be around here's what i'm interested in chason 31 walnut creek california oh have you heard about chasin in our story no oh then what did you then what did you stop for what did you think about chases well me this is what i thought about Jason, I looked at it. I'm like, this dude could either win or go home night one. Like he looks like he's got a good personality. Okay. So no, no, no. Jason and I, I already know Jason.

How? So do you remember that show that we did for ex-batchel producer, Nas Perez, and also my best friend? Well, um, we recruited eight guys through quarantine. My sister, we asked for recommendations from our, I don't get a podcast listeners, but we also just like kind of reached out the hot guy. that we found on Instagram. So my sister randomly found Chason. She was like he lives in California. He lives in San Diego. He's from Walnut Creek, California, which is by San Francisco. And she's like, this guy's so hot, reached out to him and said, would you want to come on this, you know,

Zoom and dating show that we're doing with our friend? And he was like, yeah, he was super into it, got through the first couple phases, which means he had, I think. And he had two or three phone conversations with NADs, which were broadcast over Instagram. And so people out there have even maybe gotten to know, Jason, a little bit better than they thought that, you know, then they think just based on a picture. He was anonymous until we released the picture. So what happened was he made it to the final two on the sutras. And then the night that we were planning on taping, the two last conversations. that Naz is going to have with her final two guys, he reached out to my sister and said,

hey, I don't think I'm in the appropriate place to be continuing to do this. And we were like, oh, so he has a girlfriend and like now, you know, now he's going to be revealed. And then my sister said, do you have a girlfriend or like, or did you just start dating someone? And that's why. And he goes, no, I'm not dating someone. It's just, it's just not appropriate for me to continue, which is actually super nice and respectable. Yeah. And I love that he said that. Um, but Naz really liked him. He was so romantic. He's very much of a gentleman.

He's a pursuer. Uh, and he has a really good relationship with his family. Well, there you go. Well, hey, no, no shame in what he did, but Jason, uh, has a history with some of the bachelor. Chris, 27 St. Louis, Missouri. St. Louis, Missouri.

He is, um, he's a nice guy. a sweetheart we'll call him we call the just he's a sweetheart collins 30 from virginia oh i like i like him he's like super friendly here is what i want to know about collins how tall is he he looks very tall based on the background but there's no chance so i'm six four like look at the way his biceps are filling out his shirt there's no way you can be six four and have biceps that big is that something that goes along with height yeah kind of it's just easier to get bigger arms if you're smaller like shorter dale 31 brandon south dakota okay we don't hear we don't get a lot of south dakota people on the show no he's smooth this dude's a stud yeah like this guy might be around

Oh, boy.

He is 26. 26. Yeah, 26. I will say not to be, I mean, I don't think Claire is going to necessarily, like, judge or release guys based on their age, but I do think it's going to be a factor. Yeah, and I don't think, like, a guy in their 20s is going to be, like, off limit. Like, she's not going to be like, oh, no, no. But 26, that is, like, that's a whole life difference. It's a difference in lifestyle, life experience.

Ed, 36, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This guy looks like Daniel McGuire, and I feel like he may act like Daniel McGuire. I hope not. Ellis, 26, Libertyville, Illinois. He looks like he just escaped from a frat in South Carolina. Ellis is the guy who's too pure for this show.

He is. And this is, this is driven. That's what I'd see this picture. Driven. But here's the thing about this picture with Gary is like all these others of like are them posing or whatever. This looks like his LinkedIn bio.

Okay. Thank you. Okay. So that's why. It's like it sounds, he looks professional to me. It looks like he's trying to sell me a house. Sure. Let him. Hi, my name is Enya Emanzor.

But everything is about to change. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA. Right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime. A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA. Using new scientific tools, they're finding clues in evidence so tiny you might just miss it. He never thought he was going to get caught. And I just looked at my computer screen.

Hello, Ed. I'm from a very rural background myself. My dad is a farmer, and my mom is a cousin. So, like, it's not... What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a country? comedy club. I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality

nine years ago. I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear. The 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club. A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage. Available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Ivan 28, Dallas, Texas.

Also, we got another innocent one here. I feel like he's shy and sensitive. and may fall into the background. Yeah, you know what? It happens, like, often. And you sometimes, if you look back on the past from our first impressions from pictures, you can typically tell which ones are going to be outspoken,

which ones are going to be more quiet, reserved. And then even if you're just awesome, you're going to get pushed aside. I mean, I think in recent memory was Sarah Coffin was somebody I think I had from, was it Peter's season in my top three. I was like, oh, this girl. was a shoe in for the final four.

She was my number one pick. And then after night, we never heard her. And then she just kind of went back in the background and they were gone. Yeah, I remember Peter's season. I had some real wrong picks there. I was trying to not go with the obvious, trying to go for an underdog and it didn't work. I'm excited to see what you go with this one then. Jason 31 Rutland, Vermont.

So he can go either way. He can be really annoying and eliminated early. on or he could be there towards the end he has a is that a rose tattoo I can't tell oh yeah yeah I'm going to say it is

it's like multiple roses he probably got it for the show that's what I'm saying Jason's the type of guy that gets a tattoo of roses for the show see the super fan that his ex-girlfriend got him into the show oh this is just a just to throw something back in her face

J-29-Linghorn Pennsylvania me says, I'm going to be a little pesty. Jay, this one doesn't say a lot to me. Like, I don't have a lot of response here. Jay looks like, you know what Jay does? Jay looks like the guy, the little brother of your buddy's wife who sits at the table across from you and you have to make small talk for like an hour and it's fine.

Yeah, but he's super engaging. Like, he really wants to talk to you. He cares. Yeah, he cares. I think Jay cares just not going to be around of it hey Jeremy 40 Virginia Beach Virginia 40 one of my front runners definitely in my top three love the fact that he's 40 he's very cute and he's just he says confident definitely there for the right reasons manly man reminds me of a Ryan Sutter inside and out yeah this guy's going to age

well i mean i guess he's aging well would probably be how we say it this season um he's aging well he's a stud i also appreciate his goate if you look his little soul patch is thicker than the rest i like that look i think it's a good look sensitive eyes on this guy hey joe 36 north woodmere new york okay so joe looks like a tough guy but i think he's going to stick around for a long time and be very emotional yeah joe looks like the type of guy that if i was strong. I could plank and he could put his hand like at my stomach level and do like a one arm push up of me. Exactly. But I'm not strong enough to get in a plank position. So he ain't ever going to have that opportunity. Jordan C. 26, Southington, Connecticut. Oh, Jordan. I think you're

going to go home night one because you're just like too innocent and baby looking for like this season. Yeah, he's he's he's a very sweet man. Sweet face. Sweet. to face. Jordan M. 30. Dearborn, love Dearborn, Michigan. He could be a shister. Could be a shudster. What do you think? That look in his eyes? I was going to say this. Jordan is going to be the biggest surprise to us all season. He's going to be around a long time. How old is he? Oh, 30. Okay. 30. I really do. I think that look in his eyes can go a bunch of different directions. But what it tells me is I know what Claire wants. And I'm going to get.

give it. Josh 31, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Ooh. No. Night one. Yeah. Nice guy. Good looking. Dude. I'm not saying this because he's like not a good looking fella. Yeah. No, no, no. Yeah. He has white shorts on. Like nobody with white shorts on makes it very far on this show because it's a fierce arena to fight in. His arms are cross telling me I'm a little insecure about this as well. Yeah. Just, I mean, great guy. He's going to find himself a terrific partner. We think he's, you know, any other given circumstance, he'd be the guy. set up with my sister if I had one. But for this show, white shorts, you know, you just, you can't. Carl 33, Miami, Florida.

His arms are crossed in a way that says, strength. I am here to please this woman. You have to love you. I'm a lover. These arms are for me to, like, embrace you deeply. Speaking of a guy with arms, Kenny 39, Oakland, Illinois. Uh, I don't know about him. He has stars.

I said arms because his one arm is literally covered in stars. Um, he, we'll see. We'll see. Jeff Holm type. Ah, yes. Yeah, Jeff Holm type probably. Yes. Yeah, at best, Jeff Holm.

Um, no, maybe not. I actually, I mean that by saying like, I think Kenny's going to be a better man than Jeff home. Um, but look, looks very similar. Mike 38 Calgary Alberta Canada Oh my God going so far I think this could be this could be him And when I was initially going through the men

I thought this was him Until I scrolled down just a little bit further And then it was like I saw Claire's soulmate for the first time Oh boy well let's keep going then Montel 30 Hingham Massachusetts Oh he's so nice Yeah isn't he just the nicest he's just a great dude and he has style he's wearing a gold watch any guy with a gold watch

like you know you got something going on he's going to be fine he's going to be around a while get used to that name montel uh from hingham massachusetts now noah 25 Tulsa oklahoma 25 yeah no no here's what i think about noah no's going to be the guy that claire falls for quickly And his storyline is how young he is compared to her. God, I love the way you make up these stories. None of them are going to be right. Absolutely none of them. But we are going to have to all season in our own minds process,

what is it like for Claire to be dating Noah? And she's going to have to be thinking the same thing. And Noah's going to have to answer that question. And it's going to be this beautiful romance that I think will end. I think Noah is there till the final six. Okay, that will happen with somebody. I don't know if it's Noah. Noah just has, again, another two youthful, innocent look for me for Claire.

But the thing is, you know that will be a storyline. Like, she's going to be so attracted and connecting so deeply with one young guy, and she's going to be so torn about it. We just got to pick which one. It's page 37 from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Halea. Really? Don't you think he's a player?

he looks like he's like front and he's going to be like oh yeah that's okay what poplar like well yeah so this what i think about page i think page is the type of guy who smells good but you see what i'm saying he smells too good like when you walk past him he like has showered in some type of cologne and like you're like you're trying so hard i mean you just literally pour that clone on so that you would smell good what are you covering up with the scent yes exactly that's for Perfect. Peter 32, Everett, Massachusetts. He's like, probably was voted best guy to take home to mom and dad in high school. He looks like- He's definitely a CPA.

Oh, definitely a CPA. I was going to say he does something with finance. And he lives a very stable, happy life in New England. Yeah, I think he's around for a while. Yeah. I think he's, I think he's there to stay. He's one of my top, top front runners. Riley 30, Detroit, Michigan.

um i don't know that anything's popping out with me with riley i don't see i just i don't feel a connection to him through this photo sensitive eyes sensitive eyes you look at those eyes and you're like hey i'll tell you anything riley um now that you say that i think he's going to be one of the guys that gets along really well with the other guys but may not make a splash with claire fair enough robbie 31 st pete beach florida he looks like a less attractive eric banna um i don't know who that is that doesn't matter He could be around for a while I think that he would be around

for a while more in my book if he were to like make his hair a little bit less jelly Yeah it's like long hair gel back I don't know I gotta give Robbie the benefit of the doubt Because obviously Robbie's from Florida Have gone far on this show before

Not always done the best later on But Robbie from Florida is wearing a Hawaiian shirt and anyone who wears a Hawaiian shirt and submits that photo to The Bachelor is somebody that I at least want to try to like. I think they took, do you think they took these pictures there down at La Quinta? I don't know. I think they may have.

Spencer 30, La Jolla, California. Okay, so I think that Spencer is pretty cute. I think Spencer might get pretty far He looks a little bit uncomfortable And buttoned up in this picture We just need him to relax Yeah, this dude's gonna be fine Yeah

I mean his eyes are like that Like you know when people have the eyes That you can like They're like light blue teal You can see through them Yeah people always seem to like those people If you got like teal eyes You've already won

You're right These are the kind of eyes You just don't let go night one Unless you Unless you're Rebecca and you eliminate grocery store Joe Knight 1. Yeah, and then you look at Spencer's beard. And it's like, I mean, he has like,

it looks like somebody drew it on with a marker. Like, it's good. Like, he's like model-esque. Like, he probably was approached by a modeling agent. He's going to do fine. TN. It's TN. 36. From Great Neck, New York.

Yes, that's Great Neck, New York. Okay. So, Great Neck pun here. his neck of his shirt is distracting me from everything else it's like that commercial where it's like where that guy's on the date and his shirt has like become a boat neck or whatever they call it yeah it's just like very wear and tear and i don't i don't like the shirt well i'll tell you one thing tian does is he definitely does posture list because the man's posture is just absolutely fantastic he I was told once on The Bachelor when I walked down the runway for a modeling show that we did on one of the dates to oh yeah to walk like I think I've told you probably to walk like and put your shoulders like they're a clothes hanger so you pull your shoulders down and back yeah Tien's doing that Tyler C 27 Cassaway West Virginia okay he reminds me of James Taylor and so I kind of I don't know if I trust this guy oh what about you Tyler C.

Especially a Tyler C. Poor, poor Tyler Cameron. He's going to hate this. This guy's like the way that he's got his job, I'm like, hmm, do I trust you? I don't know. It matters if he plays guitar or not. If he plays guitar, I'm leaning on the side of no. If he doesn't, I like the guy.

Tyler S. Tyler S. 36, Dallas, Texas. See, he looks like a bad boy to me. Like in kind of a fun way. He'll be around. Okay. Yeah. He's 36.

He's good looking. Yeah. He's from Texas. I think she likes like a Salt of the Earth type man. Hey, they definitely didn't take these pictures down there because they're taken all over the place. So these are pictures that these men have submitted. So it should tell you a little bit about who they are if they're submitting these type of pictures. And Uzama, 29 Dallas, Texas submits himself in a full suit with a red accessory.

This dude, Ashley, what do you think? friendly and confident oh yeah this dude walks into the house on night one and he's the one that everybody loves right away oh but his suit's so ill-fitting it's like his muscles are bulging through it hey it's tough when you're a strong man joseph 29 mobile alabama also possibly a little conceded what do you think everybody's conceited that goes on this show actually everybody 36, Haydenfield, Pennsylvania. Another Nick Vee look-alike, a poor man's Nick Vee? Do you see it?

I definitely see it. You know what? Throw a beard on this dude and he literally is Nick Fee. Yeah, strengthen, like, the density of his hair a bit. Every single season, I feel like we have a Nick V look like, and I've never seen a man that looks like Nick Vee before I started watching the show. It's weird. We have come to the final guy.

Zach J. 37, Yucama, Washington. And Zach J is my winner. When I saw this man show up while I was scrolling through and the last guy, I feel like it's there for a reason. I feel like you're like, okay, okay, okay. She can find somebody. I like these guys. They're cute.

But then you see this one and you're like, wow, I just saw Claire's husband. This is too cool. Again, I ask how tall he is. If he's like 5'2, then. maybe I question if you're right or not but if he's six because his arms are so big yeah I don't get I don't get how people I don't get how men can be so strong he doesn't look that tall but like let's hope that's just not an issue for her yeah I mean I don't know if it's that big of a deal I'm saying like it's it's mostly just impressed I'm mostly just impressed with the size of every single dude

who submitted a picture like how strong they all are like how does everybody stay in such good shape um i don't know but anyways ashley we've we've gone through the men we've given our very unsolicited very shallow very raw very unfair judgmental opinion of each one of these men who we don't know except you obviously know chason yeah who is your top three okay so my winner is Zach J. My top three is Zach. Then Mike 38 from Canada. I think he's runner up. He's a very close. He's very close to winning. And then my third choice is. Oh, Jeremy. Jeremy 40 from Virginia Beach. Okay. I'm going to go Dale 31 from Brandon, South Dakota. Okay. Yeah, the South Dakota guy is speaking to you. I think he's a good dude.

I'm going to go Jeremy 40 from Virginia Beach, Virginia. And finally, with my final pick, I'm going to go Tyler S. 36, Dallas, Texas. Now, the winner, I don't think it's a shock. Jeremy 40, Virginia Beach, Virginia. Very good choice. Yeah, I think that's my, that's my draft picks this season. We got a great group. Don't know anything about them.

Really want to get to know them. It's funny because I remember when we did Hannah's season, our big response was like, oh, and I think everybody's. I think it was like a headline. These guys are, you know, not what we thought. And then we leave, and there's definitely some studs in the room. So there's definitely going to be some studs here. It's going to be a great season.

They are, as we know, Friday, July 17th, starting filming for this season of, the Bachelorette. Ashley, before we say goodbye, final question for you. If you had to summarize Claire's men holistically in a few sentences, how would you explain them? I would explain them as strong, both physically and internally. Just huge arms. And I would say that a lot of them seem outgoing friendly and excited to be there this sounds like a pageant it really just i'm just i'm just excited to be here uh hey i'm interested in how much covid talk will be going on during this season i hope uh not a lot they won't air yeah because uh hey this uh this little quarantine that they're doing we're hoping works um and we're hoping this uh helps claire

Crawley find the love of her life as she is our next bachelorette well Ashley I know this is airing today but you'll be back Monday with a special episode breaking down this week's episode of Bachelor goat yes so we're doing both of Brad's seasons this week which means that one of our Bachelor faves Michelle Money will be on the podcast I'm really excited about that interview.
