Can you believe it? It's shocking news. Breaking news. Newsworthy in and of itself. Right here. I love it. We are back to, ABC has given the fans a glimpse

of the potential suitors for season 22 of The Bachelorette starring Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Taylor, Frankie Paul. And they wrote on the Facebook page today, we are giving you an early look at the men who might be, or maybe, on this season of a bachelor's out, which is interesting, right? So I feel like what they're doing is they're giving themselves some wiggle room

or maybe even, like, looking for fan reactions to see if they're going to cast some people or if they're not going to cast some people, maybe. We'll give them some fan reactions. Yeah, you want fan reactions? Here you go. you came to the right place we got to do it for you so I thought it was interesting

one of the things that they did and you know this is this is so different from when you and I were doing this show you know they never revealed the cast early it was always night of as the big reveal and they also didn't cast any dates which I've noticed that's been out there a lot over the last couple years where they're like hey

you want to be you know the bachelorette and being on a date like, you know, a Hollywood Bowl or something, show up and we'll see if you're, you know, they never did that because it was all like so incognito and off the record back then. So off the record. Yes, I know. Well, I feel like just getting connection and community and really, you know, helping to encourage that community, that sense of community within Bachelor Nation is really smart.

So I think it's great. I, if I was a Bachelor fan living in California, I would be all over that. I would go to the dates for sure. Me too. Are you kidding me? Of course I'm going to this. I'm going to go sit up behind the bowl and watch.

And you know it's going to be some wicked good singer that's going to make an appearance that night. So it's going to be like some up and comer. You know? Totally. Or something funny. Yes. Or you're going to like one of the singing things or they make up a poem or you know,

they do a strip show or whatever they're doing. The roast? Yeah, they've been doing the roasts lately. Yes, the roasts like any of them. that. I feel like it's just entertaining and it's, it's an experience. I love experiences, like unique opportunities and this, those kind of things are definitely unique. So at the end of this, we will actually, I wonder, we could probably tell people what the dates are and where to like go apply because why not get some almost famous fans at some of these Bachelorette events. Stack the deck. Stack the deck with our team.

people. Yeah, I like that they're revealing the cast early, too. I think it's kind of cool. I mean, granted, it's going to be, you know, primarily looks driven out of the gates, but it's one of those things where you can kind of almost pick a favorite, you know, by reading a little mini bio or whatever it might be before the show even starts and sort of, you know, get invested a little bit more. I think it's a really cool idea. And wouldn't even have happened without social media. You know, they would not be doing this back in the day. So I think this is pretty cool. But I think also there's no bios. So, um, you're, um, you're, You're just primarily looking at the looks, the age, and where they're from.

And I paid attention to if they were from Utah because since she has three children, I don't know that she will be willing and we'll have to wait and see to move anywhere. And who knows about these guys because we know nothing in bio. I mean, her baby daddies are still involved in the kids' lives. It's not like they bailed. So you can't just up and move, right? You got to allow your, it's got to be something that the whole family agrees upon, right? So that's why every time Kenyon tells me, oh, you know what, I'm just going to move, I'm going to move, I'm going to move, I'm going to move, I'm going to move, I'm going to move, I'm like, we will miss you because we'll be here.

We're going to miss you. Have a great trip. We'll see when you get back, because we ain't going to anyways. Whatever. The agreement about, okay, I'm going to move to Michigan only if you give me, what is it, four trips a year or something like that. So I think she's got a pretty good deal. Yeah. She's way exceeded that.

I mean, she just got back from Turks and Keikos where I was holding down the fort with the kids. I'm like, have a great time, babe. I'll be back here with the kids. And then when she complains about me, I heard her complain about me on the phone. I poked my head and I go, yeah, you got really rough, don't you? You got a really rough gig. Come on, Jeff.

All right, enough about us, right? Enough about me. Let's talk about, I think, that I know you're paying attention to where they live. I am going solely on their mug shots. And here's why. Because looking at her previous relationships, these dudes look like spitting images of each other. So she has definitely got a type. You know, she has a type for sure.

Yeah, for sure. And I mean, did she grow up in Utah, I assume? I don't know. I'm assuming she did. I mean, her mom's there. So, yeah, I think she did. I bet she grew up in Utah. And, yeah, these two, you know, they definitely fit the Utah bill for more.

what I know about Utah. Yeah. So, yeah, I'm kind of thinking that, too, is, I mean, you can't not look at their, you call them mugshots. I don't think they're mug shots. Probably not technically a mug shot, but yeah. What they aren't also is they aren't official ABC photos. Right.

These are like Instagram shots, maybe? Like maybe a picture that they either sent as part of their. application or someone else sent on their behalf or a picture that they took when they came to interview with the casting department. So there's a couple of them that have like this big old plant in the background. And I'm wondering if that was at the studio where they're interviewing with the casting department. Oh, like, hey, let's go outside and get a candid shot of you.

Yeah. Exactly. Right. Yeah, you're right. I'm seeing that. No, I wasn't even noticing that. Why, you are so observant. Nice work.

Oh, yes. Detail-oriented. That's me, Bob Guinea. I see the fern that you speak of. Yes. The fern, the fern. I'm not much of a plant guy, but I know what a fern is. And that is definitely a fern.

Okay, so we're also, we're going to put the pictures up on the almost famous Instagram account. So you'll be able to see all these photos, everyone out there listening. Okay. So let's get into it. I'm going to write out the gate. There is a 44-year-old, and I'm going to say that most likely, and he's from Thornton. He's near me. Thornton is like a suburb of Denver.

I'm going to keep his picture for my single friends. Dave. Yeah, he's a good-looking guy. And I'm going to contact the casting department and be like, listen, I don't know that he's going to work out for Taylor if he even ends up on the show because we don't know for sure if these guys are going to end up on the show. But since he's 44, I think I might actually count him out.

I feel like she... How old is Taylor? She's 32 or 31. Oh, really? See, I don't know. I mean, Kenyon and I are 13 years apart. Yeah, I know. So he might have a very youthful demeanor. Yeah, we are.

Yeah, true. No, but I just feel like her vibe, like, even just the pictures of the guys, like he seems, Um, more mature. He's a good looking guy. Yeah. But he just seems like his look, he seems more mature.

And the guys that are her baby daddies just seem a little younger in looks. Do you know what I mean? Like they have a more, um, it's not like they're, a youthful appearance. A youthful. Yeah. They're, um, I don't know. And I don't know the, I don't know her baby daddy. So I don't know anything about their personalities.

but I just don't know that she's going to go. I see her for some reason and I don't know her. I've never met her. I've never actually watched Secret Lives and Mormon Wives, but I've seen her on Instagram. Yeah. I've seen her on Instagram and I just feel like her vibe is a lot more 30s, early 30s. I can see that.

Okay. You know what I mean? Well, speaking of which, I'm going to go alphabetically. I know we skipped ahead to the third. alphabetically. Oh, is that how it's set up? That's how it's set up in this week's. Yeah, you're right. On new stance today. Okay, go for it. And this guy is a vineyard Utah guy. He's also early 30s, so he could fit the bill. His name is Aaron or A-A-A-Ron. I'm not sure which one, but I would probably guess it's Aaron. I mean, for real. Do you really think that someone's going to call him A-A-A-Ront? Hey, I've seen it online a bunch with K&P.

deal those the two teacher guy hey aaron oh is that not your name you guys said no it's here in fact that's why we named blake blake because he goes balake looks right on the class no in response balake and finally he's like my name's blake and that's why i named him blake i was like it's got to be blake all right so aaron not a three two years old aaron yeah and he's in Utah yep good looking guy seems like he's in good shape he does seem very fit. I feel like she's interested in that. He's got a great smile. Um, so yeah, he's on the list. I feel like he, you know, if, listen, I was bad at, we haven't even talked about the Golden Bachelor and our, um, our guesses are, what do you call it? Bracketology. The brackets. I don't, I don't,

I don't feel like I did well at all. I didn't either, but I went solely on looks, too, though. Well, that's all we had to go on really um or most of what we had to go on so this is exactly the same it's all we have to go on and we don't even know that they're on the show yet so there you go that's true that is true okay but i like erin i i feel like yeah i feel like he's going to he's going to get a rose at least the first night we're just going to go with the first night right first night it's our first night yeah next guy up he's going to be our country music uh guy who's going to, you know, pull out his guitar. Newport Beach, California, but split time between that and Nashville.

So, of course, he's a singer songwriter. He's got a cowboy hat sitting out of bail of hay. Brad, 28. Yeah, he rides horses. Uh-huh. He rides horses. He plays a guitar. Yep.

He does. And I bet she'll like that. He actually looks a lot like her exes. Yeah, he kind of does. He's got that, oh, yeah. A little chisel jaw. Brad. Uh-huh. The like scruffy beard. He's a brunette. He's a brunette which, you know, yeah, it could work for him.

He looks like he very much looks like, I feel like out of all the guys, maybe there's another guy that looks. There is. There is. I saw him earlier. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. I like this guy too. I like him too based on his looks. I think he'll go, he'll go pretty far. All right. Brandon. Brandon is 28. He's from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. That's real far. from Utah. Midwester boy, though. Gotta love that. I mean, I love a Midwestern boy, but I don't know.

I think it's too far personally. There's another guy from Miami, and I was like, Miami, Florida? I don't think so. No, no. With a single mom, like, I don't know. I just feel like we need to factor that in because she's a single mom co-parenting with two exes who also live in Utah. I feel like that's going to be a big part of her dream.

Yeah. Yeah. You're going to have to be a guy who is, I mean, likely willing to relocate, right, if you want this to work. Because, like you said, she's got two kids. She's also on a show, The Real Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. It's not like they're going to film that in Dallas. I mean, you know, the whole cast is in Utah. That's the way they're doing it.

So that's a good point. Yeah. Brandon, we like you, bro, but we might not see you going too far on this one. Next one, though, this guy, Casey, this dude, to me, looks like her ex. doesn't he? Oh, yeah, totally. Although he is lighter, like, her exes are both brunettes. I feel like they're, they've got a little darker tone of their skin.

And, but he's great looking. And hello, he goes to the gym. Like, look at those biceps. Well, we've kind of determined this, you know, later in the years of the show, you basically, and this is going to sound terrible, I'm not saying that this is the case of any of these gentlemen, but for the most part, to be able to take off six weeks of work and not tell anybody where you're going,

you're a personal trainer living in your mom's basement. That's just my general thing, right? Everybody has got abs of steel, and they live in mom's basement, eating, you know, weight protein shakes 24-7. No, they do not. No, they do not. I don't know.

The golden guy's not so much, but, you know, but this dude is. He's good looking. No, I don't think so. There's businessmen. there's professional men, whether they're dentists or lawyers or business owners or, let's see. Oh, we've got a tennis pro who's actually super happy with his engaged wife to be. And, you know, you never know.

I mean, there is a chance that he could be an athletic trainer. And if he is, actually, that means that probably he won't have a problem. moving to Utah. And he'll be able to build a huge business for himself. Yes. On the back of his new wife's, you know, familiarity and popularity in that market. So, yeah, Casey, we think you're going to,

you're going to do pretty well for yourself on this show. Even though you are from Nashville, we think you're probably willing to relocate. Yeah. All right. Next guy. Next is Chris. He's 34, right in that sweet spot of the age.

and or the age of the guys who I think, you know, she'll be looking for. And he's from Venice, California. I love a Venice, California vibe. Like, I feel like that seems similar to who she is. Like, I feel like she just doesn't care. And she's like, I'm going to be me. And either you accept it or you don't. It's all good.

Right. Chris is wearing a suit, which I like seeing. He dressed up for the event. I do too. That's nice. No. It is one of the new fans. Fangled suits, however, which always seem like they're a schmedium.

You know, like, they're a schmedium. What size suit you're in there? Oh, I'm wearing a shm medium. You know, it's a little tight in some spots, short. Probably, I bet those pants are like, what do they call them, knickers? Where they go down to, like, the middle of his cap. And then they don't wear socks. No socks.

And, like, really nice, you know, really nice loafers. That's what I think is footwear choices in that one. It's definitely a lighter colored shoe to match his belt. But I think that he would follow that rule And I like that rule So I like that role I like Chris I do too

I like his dimples I think she'll like him too Yeah Yeah Yeah In the new podcast Hell in Heaven Two young Americans

White victim, female, pretty, wealthy, black defendant.

I have a new podcast called What Are We Even Doing? Where I embark on a noble quest to understand the brilliant chaos of youth culture. Daddy's looking good.

And let's get weird together in a good way. Listen to what are we even doing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved, until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy killed her. We know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator on national TV.

Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff, They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her.

They made me say that I poured gas on her. From Lava for Good, this is Graves County, a show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame.

It follows a few unlikely, but lucky people who saw the real estate market for the black hole it would become

and eventually made billions of dollars from that perception. It was like feeding the monster, said Eisman. We fed the monster until it blew up. The monster was exploding. Yet on the streets of Manhattan, there was no sign anything important had just happened.

This dude is jacked. This guy is ripped. He looks like, he looks like Ryan Sutter back in the day coming out of the limo. I was like, who the hell is this dude? Chiseled from granite. He doesn't have as big of a neck as Ryan did back in the day. No, Ryan did, man. Ryan had the neck. Okay.

So Christopher is Jack. Good looking guy. Nice smile. Yeah. And it looks like he has a cross on his arm tattoo. Oh, let's see that. Maybe there's some religion aspect, you know. And since she's Mormon, like I don't know, I don't know how religious she is even.

I don't even know that. But obviously, because she's Mormon, maybe that will play into it. Who knows? Well, we can guess with the Mormon background, we can guess that she, a spectacular dancer and will be asked to be on Dancing with the Stars. I think that goes to that question.

Oh, 1,000% she will be on next season of Dancing with the Stars. And my daughter, who is an huge fan of Dancing with the Stars, is like she's been in the audience like so often

that they are definitely, I think, getting her in there to prep her for next season. Whatever happens. The TikTok dancing is what got her on the map in the first place. So I think we already know

what direction we're going here. And I'm going to go, I'm going to go five bucks to anyone who wants to take it that can is, you know, that I can see right now. That's you, Trista. Five bucks means that when she goes on the show, she will have dated one of the professional of the answers on the cast, whether it be male or female, that she may have dated them. And so I'm putting that out there too.

This is a sidebar. Oh, no. Make it interesting. Oh, you're. All right. This is our producer. Our producer, this is her favorite guy so far, which I think is really sweet. Who is? Christopher. The next guy. Clayton, age 35. I'm thinking that Taylor Frankie Paul is, she's tiny, isn't she? Like, I'm thinking she's got to be. Yeah, petite. So that could be a good thing because I agree from some of these pictures. Clayton does not look as tall as some of the guys previously. which does not matter.

But let's just take mental note of this where he is on that fern. Okay, so I was literally doing that. But look at Christopher, the one from right above. He is in the same area. I don't think it's the same because above it. I think there are multiple ferns. I think so too, but the wall.

They hit the wall at almost the same spot. So I don't know. Christopher seems really tall. But in the photo, it seems like Clayton's short. But I don't know. Clayton ends up being at the same point in the wall. So I think they might be the same height. And I have to point out, Clayton actually looks like her exes, like a lot like her exes too. Like the facial structure, the defined jaw line. I don't know if they have dimples, but he seems a lot like them too. And isn't, oh, he's from Nashville too. Interesting. We've got another national. Nash Tuckie. He's getting a bunch. I like it. We've got a bunch of people we're pulling from Nash Tucky. All right. My last question on Clayton, does he get a rose the first night? Yes.

All right. I like your style. Yeah. I like your style. I will say, I will say yes also because he does. You're right. He does resemble. I do actually think that I want to buy him a larger T-shirt. You know what we can do. We'll get his address and we'll send it to him. I've been thinking about sending Mel all sorts of things. I'm an almost famous t-shirt. There you go. We have to.

Or even our golf alley you have, which is on display right behind me. All right. Next up. From Los Angeles, California, 32 years of age. Not in front of a palm tree. Conrad.

Not in front of a palm tree. First guy, we can't decide in front of the ferns. No, but I think he's in the same area. I think he's at the same offices. They just went outside. They're out in, what is it, Sherman Oaks?

What is that? Sherman Oaks. Yeah. Sherman Oaks. That's where they're at. They're at the Office of Sherman Oaks. Yeah, that Conrad does look. And he's a nice looking dude, too.

All these guys are good looking so far. Yeah. Well, quaffed hair. Well, quaffed. He's got some chest hair showing. He's got a nice watch on. Nice watch. Okay, good evaluation.

I like it. Yeah. That looks like it's a Rolex, actually. Or maybe a tag. Is it? I can't read it upside down. It's a nice watch, though. And he's from a little.

L.A., which L.A. isn't too far from Utah. No, that's a hop, skip, and a jump. Yeah. All right, we've gone over Dave, who's 44. I'm going to reserve him for my single friends in Denver. I just don't know, like, if 44 just seems like, I know you said you and Jess are like that. I don't think there's a big deal with an age difference.

I just think that she is probably looking for someone in her immediate. vicinity of age range. I don't know. Love is love, though. You know what I'm saying? Love is love. Love is love. That's true story.

Yep, maybe she'll just sweep her off her feet like Ryan did for me. There you go. There you go. Now, this guy kind of resembles her exes also, to me, a little bit. Dougie Fresh, I believe he's known as, 28 years old from San Diego, California, a younger guy. Yeah. How does Taylor, Frankie Paul, feel about a younger guy, you think? I think he's hot, so she'll be fine with him.

I've always wondered how all these guys get their facial hair to be so perfectly quaffed 24-7, you know? I couldn't tell you, Bob. I have no, I try to not have any facial hair. Yeah, well, I get that. Now, this dude looks like he was probably, I bet he was in the running for several other dating shows over the years. Like maybe Love Island. Mm, totally. Maybe Love is blind.

Yep. And we may happen to know that this is actually factual. Maybe possibly wink, wink. And he might have turned those shows down because he was waiting for Taylor, Frankie Paul. He was waiting for her. And that's the story I would go with if I were him. I'd be like, yeah, you know, they approached me about this other stuff.

And I was like, no, thanks. And I just, I wasn't vibing. I wasn't vibed. And then I saw you and I was like, oh, my God, this is my time. Mm-hmm. I like it. And I was just in San Diego with my children

and I love San Diego so... You'll meet both sister. I love that town. Yes. It's the best. Such a fan. Hoping my children end up

near there for college because... You and Jessica, you and Canyon seem to agree on a lot when we're in the same room like you guys are talking about stuff. Canyon for some reason hates San Diego. And I've never been able to figure out why.

She knows how much I love it too. She's like, man, I just don't love it. I'm like, what do you mean? I shouldn't say she hates it. She just doesn't love it like I do. Like, I could move there tomorrow and I'd be a happy man. Yeah, well, you so rudely cut me off, but I was saying that...

Sorry. Let me just say that. We were just here for college tours. And she must not have ever been to the parts of San Diego that, me and you have been because not at the same time. But it is so amazing. I mean, I will say there were, I, the houses are all very close together and all very expensive. But if you can find an area that you love, it is just sunny, gorgeous, perfect weather.

I feel like most of the time. And the outdoor living is just beautiful. So anyway, I could go on and on about San Diego. but the fact that Doug is from San Diego, I give him a couple extra bonus points for that too. I like it. I like it. T.

I like it. All right. Our next guy could be a Jonas brother in my, in my estimation. Totally. Oh my gosh. Joe, Joe's 27 lives in Los Angeles. He's on the beach. He's wearing white jeans.

I mean, this is all I got so far from Joe. He looks like he could be, you know, a younger Jonas brother from back of the day. And he's 27. He's pretty young. I don't know if he's the youngest, but I feel like he's the youngest so far. Yeah. But he's really cute.

He looks very similar to her exes too. I feel like the casting department took a note. Well, she likes this kind of, this kind of guy. And that's what we're going to cast. We'll throw him an occasional curve ball, but not many. Because everybody sort of, yeah, cut from the same cloth here. I feel like they are. Yeah.

He's cute. He's really cute. Who knows, based on anything else. But based on his looks, I would say he gets a rose. All right. I like it. I like it. You want the next couple?

Sure. The next one is Johnny. He's 30 from Massapiqua, New York. I've been there. I've been to Massapequa. I have not. I don't know what I didn't even know how to pronounce it. It's in Long Island.

You did say it right. You said it accurate. Long Island. Yes. Long Island. Yes, Nassapikuwa Park. He's got that same. scruffy beard longer brown hair

and he seems very fit so we'll see New York is real far from Utah so I don't know if that will help his case well I want you to pay special attention to his tattoos I don't know if you can see these but those are roses

oh my goodness do we get a line from him that night like you know well I'm wearing roses all the time and I hope I get a rose from you oh you will that That will be actually his entrance. You know what I mean? And they actually, from what I understand,

they already started filming. Like maybe yesterday or something. I don't know if that's true or not, but I feel like I heard that. That is not official. That was just Rumorville and not from almost famous. This is just me, maybe even from my daughter. Oh, there you go.

She would know. She would know. She would know. She would know. She would know. Yeah. Yes. But I could totally.

see him showing up on night one and using that as his as his old shit before i go before i go in the house look at my tats you know i don't think he'll say it like that and if he does he's going home he's going home but will not work don't do it okay okay josh from provolute utah he's 28 one of the young young ins um he's a good looking guy too i the oversized um this looks like something for my husband's closet, actually, that he would wear. He doesn't let me get him new clothing. So anyone out there who has brand deals for my husband, could you please help a girl out?

Trust me, yeah. You can get us both for the same price? Can you tell me the other day? She's like, you wear the same thing every day. I'm like, wait, time off. I know. I mean, please, it's all t-shirts. I get it.

But, yes, this is corduroy, and it's a little oversized. So I'm going to help him in the fashion department. If he's listening and they have not started shooting, we're just going to tighten up that. I think we should call Josh Corderoid boy, so we know. Corteroy boy, cordoroy boy. Oh, we're singing songs here. We're making up songs on almost famous. Woo-hoo.

He does look like a guy that I would think was from Utah. Why? He just looks like not like of the other guy. It's either going to feel like going to be a rugged mountain guy from Utah. I don't know why I think that. A dancer on Dancing with the Stars or just a super nice looking guy, the average Joe guy. Just look like a nice person.

That's what I think of Utah. Okay. Yeah. I'm ready. I also think of hockey players because we spend a lot of time playing hockey there. Well, I don't. Yeah. I say we.

Yeah. The pejorative term. Yes. I'm not a lot of. No. That would be very scary. Okay, so we've got Kevin, who is 32, and he's from Miami. This is the Miami boy. I don't see him leaving Miami. Well, I don't know, because I'm thinking that this picture is from Miami. No, that picture is in Sherman Oaks as well. That is at the same place. Yep, same place. So I don't know. We'll have to see if he has a job that he's a job that he's. willing to relocate with if he could, but Miami is real far. So if she's factoring into that, their location, I don't know that he's going to make it that part.

In the new podcast, Hell in Heaven, two young Americans move to the Costa Rican jungle to start over, but one will end up dead, the other tried for murder. Not once. People weren't wild. Not twice. Stunned. But three times. John and Ann Bender are rich and attractive, and they're devoted to each other.

They create a nature reserve and build a spectacular circular home high on the top of a hill. But little by little, their dream starts to crumble, and our couple retreat from reality. They lose it. They actually lose it. They sort of went nuts. Until one night, everything spins out of control. Listen to Hell in Heaven on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey there, I'm Kyle McLaughlin. You might know me as that guy from Twin Peaks, Sex in the City, or just the Internet's dad. I have a new podcast called What Are We Even Doing, where I embark on a noble quest to understand the brilliant chaos of youth culture. Daddy's looking good. Each week, I invite someone fascinating to join me, actors, musicians, creatives, highly evolved digital life forms, and we talk about what they love.

Listen to what are we even doing on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved,

until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls, came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy killed her. We know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve,

this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn, or any of that other stuff that y'all. said it. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her. From Lava for Good, this is Graves County, a show about just how far

our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame. America, y'all better work the hell up. Bad things happens to good people in small towns.

In early 1988, federal agents raced to track down the gang they suspect of importing millions of dollars worth of heroin into New York. from Asia. We had 30 agents ready to go with shotguns and rifles and you name it. But what they find is not what they expected.

Basically, your stay-at-home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin. They go, is this your daughter? I said yes. They go, oh, you may not see her for like 25 years. Caught between a federal investigation and the violent gang who recruited them, the women must decide who they're willing to protect and who they dare to betray. Once I saw the gun, I try to take his hand and I saw the flash of light.

Listen to the Chinatown Sting on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you get your podcasts. All right, I'm going to peg this next guy, at least as a final four home time. Dater. Whoa. I'm going on a limb.

Why? Well, he looks, he has that kind of look that she likes, and he's from Salt Lake City, Utah. Yeah. This could be our guy. Yeah. Right? He kind of has that look of her other guys. His own look still, too, but, you know, a very perfectly quaffed beard.

There's no, you know, out of, out of angle thingies. Looks like he's in good shape. Thingies. Yeah, you know, deals. plus, you know, she's got a very long name. Frankie, Taylor, Paul. And his name, Lou. Lou. I like it.

What's your name? Lou. What's that, Lou? Not even, it's one syllable, Lou. I think she's going to like that. She wants to be the multi-hyphenate. If his last name is like Johnson, let's say it's Lou Johnson, she'll be Frankie, Taylor, Paul Johnson.

Oh, no. I don't know. I think Sweet Lou's, I think, sweetly as a final four guy. I'm fegging it right now. Okay. Okay. Hey. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to give that one to you. And I'm just going to move on. Okay. So, Malik, I assume that's how you pronounce his name. He's 30 from Brooklyn. I love his smile. He has got a great smile. Great skin, too. At least in this picture. Good style, too, like fashion. Good style. I like the fashion. He's got his nails are like manicured it looks like he takes care of himself so i don't i'm i'm saying he's

getting a rose night one but the new york thing still yeah yeah that could be tough the east coast guys i'm having a hard time with without the bios because we don't know if without the bios if they have a job that we can they can relocate for or win yeah valid yeah all that okay then we've got Marcus, who's 28 from Jamaica, New York. Who knew there was a Jamaica, New York? Yeah, I've been there, mine. Did you? Oh, yeah.

You have? Well, I used to live in Manhattan, so I drove all over the place. Oh, true story. I got to know a lot of spots. Got it. Yeah, another nice-looking guy, another East Coaster. He has a lot of jewelry. He's sporting some jewelry here.

He's got a couple of necklaces, got himself a bracelet, right? Yep, he sure does, yeah. Good looking guy, very well-tailored. Yep. Every dude on here has facial hair. Every guy on here has facial hair. You're so right. I think they do.

And he was in Sherman Oaks with the whole rest of the bunch. Yeah. Yeah. That was like a casting event. Yes. Yeah, had to be. Had to be casting. Or the interviews or whatever.

Okay. The next guy, Matt, is from Carmel, Indiana. And I know Carmel, Indiana well because I was born in Indianapolis. It's a suburb of Indianapolis and have so many friends there. I actually want to, like, take a picture and send it to my Indiana friends and be like, do you know him? Yeah. I would like to see. I bet they do.

And he's older. He's 43. I know. That's another thing. Like, he, I think the guy from, was it Dave from Thornton, Colorado. He was 44. So this is right there too. Again, same goes for him.

I just feel like she'll be into a younger vibe. I don't know why. I like it. That's just my thought. All right. I like it. I think this is interesting. Who we got next? Oh, this is another guy. Final four guy. Really? Yeah. Looks just like one of our exes, I think. Yeah, it's true. And he's from San Diego. And he's 36. I mean, he's in his 30s still. That's not a huge difference. Yeah. In age. And he's from San Diego. So points again for San Diego. But he looks like a Utah guy to me. Like he looks like he could be there hanging out, you know. Yeah. He could be like one of the property brothers, like the Utahian property brothers. Yeah, he's got like fleece on. Yeah, agreed. True story.

Yeah, I like this guy. Final four material, for sure. Okay. I love that you're calling Final Four. Mike 36 from Lavalette, New Jersey. He's the same age, but I don't know. I mean, I guess they do look similar in age. He looks like a hoops player. He plays a lot of basketball. He does. I was thinking that too. Yes, I bet he does. And I bet all these guys are athletic. He also seems like he's not going to take any grief, right?

So, like somebody gives us a, hey, I'm a Jersey boy. He's like, he's like the male snooky. Like he's going to come in, no one's going to be bossing this guy around. Yeah. No. That's what I'm saying. I like it. I like it.

He's a Jersey Shore guy. Yes. I love my Jersey Shore peeps. Roger and Jaywell. Well, they're not together anymore, but, but yeah. Okay. Richard 35 from Charleston, South Carolina. I love his style.

I love Charleston, South Carolina, too. And Charleston, South Carolina. And he's really cute. He is very far from Utah, but I think he definitely gets a rose. I'm going to, I don't know for how long, but he definitely gets a rose. Yeah, and you know, our producers are telling me, and I actually agree with him. This guy resembles some bachelor's nation royalty. He does resemble Dr. Travis Stork, one of the first.

finest bachelors in the history of the franchise. I mean, kind of, but Travis, I feel like, is a lot lighter hair. I don't know. Yeah. This guy has a similar smile, though. I mean, he kind of looks maybe a cross between Travis and Ben Higgins. Benny Higgs? I don't see that. You don't? No. Like the eyes? See, I look immediately at someone's eyes, and I feel like his eyes are very similar to Ben's. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. No. Okay. Next up. And I think we only have, oh my gosh, do we have how many more? I, holy cow, we have a lot left. Let's keep it going. Have we been counting? I feel like we have too many. They're definitely going to cut from this list. Did we count how many? Heather, did you count how many? There's 26. Okay. And I feel like lately they've been having 30. Is that? Yeah. They could be adding to the list here.

Now, this next dude, he's from Austin, Texas. I love the city of Austin. Let's keep it weird. Love, yeah. This is Texas Hot Rod. I believe is his nickname. They call him the Texan Hot Rod. He's 35.

No, I just made that up, but I think we're going to call him that now. The Texan Hot Rod, coming in hot. Hey, good looking dude. He's very confident standing in front of a gray brick wall. Got a nice colored shirt, full sleeve of tats. I don't know. I mean, I think it's a nice look. Clearly, the bracelet necklace watch combo is rocking in this particular generation of men.

And ring. A lot of jewelry. A lot of jewelry. He's going to keep, who's the guy that does a, Neil Lane. He's going to keep Neil Lane happy. Neil's going to just have him dripping. He's going to have him dripping in ice. Oh, that would be amazing.

Love it. Okay, so next one is Ron. First night, too. Yeah, for sure. I do too. Ron with two ends is 28, and he's from San Francisco. And I am wondering, in the picture, do you feel like it looks like he's chewing gum? Like, did he not throw his gum away?

He does have gum. Although it could just be that he has incredibly dense teeth. Maybe. I think it's teeth. Like, if it's gum, then I'm like, faux paw. Don't take a picture or send in a picture with gum in your mouth. Unless you're looking for a hubbaba sponsorship on your, on your Instagram. Yeah, I don't, I'm, yeah, but he's a good looking guy.

I mean, nothing to take away from that. I just feel like, you know. San Fran, I love the Bay Area. Just a little pro tip. I don't know if anyone watches the challenge, but CT on the challenge, he has. He always does CT's pro tips, and that's Trista's pro tip. Don't chew gum when you're taking a picture. Don't do it.

Either swallow it and deal with it for the rest of your life, or trash it. Be done with it. Spin it out. Don't take a picture with gum. That's right. That's right. Okay. Next is...

Sorry, my computer's being weird. Shane. Oh, and he's young. I think he might be the... Oh, there was another 27. year old, actually. There was. Shane from Atlanta, Georgia.

He's also probably in Sherman Oaks for that whole casting event. That we're deciding was a casting event. He's cute too. I mean, they're all cute. Yeah, there's not a stinker in the bunch so far. You know, I'll go look and do it. He looks older than

27 to me, which I think will help him. I think that will help him. So he's young, but he looks a little bit older. So, you know, For her, that could be something she thinks is attractive, but he's young, but he seems so much more older than his years. Yeah, right. Okay, next is we've got a blondeie, and we don't have a lot of blondies in this bunch. Spencer, he's 35 from Vineyard, Utah, and that will work in his favor, I feel like.

That will definitely work for him. And I feel like it's interesting because I feel like Utah is kind of like bubble-esque, like small town. you know, and I wonder if she knows any of these guys. She may, she may know them. And maybe that's why they're there, stunt casting. Maybe she went on a date with one of them. Or maybe they were part of her soft swing crew.

Are we allowed to talk about that? I think so. Why not? Well, yeah. I don't know. Yeah, I mean, I would say maybe, yeah, maybe we went to high school together. Maybe she knows his sister, right?

And longtime crush. Never know. Never know. You never know. All right. Last one. Is this our last guy? This is our last guy.

Trenton. I think. Age 35 from Los Angeles, California. Trent. Does he go by Trent or does he insist on being called Trenton? Because Rod is clearly Rodney, but his name is Rod. So, you know, what's your name? Rod.

How do you know it's clearly Rodney? It doesn't need to be clearly Rodney. Could be Roderick. That's right. I mean, you're right. But I just think that if you're given full names, then you must be a full-name guy. And I think that works against you in this particular group of guys.

But Trenton, nice-looking dude, he's got the little silver fox going on, a little salt and pepper. Uh-huh. Do you like the salt and peppa look? I love the salt and peppa look, but that's because my husband is rocking it. Yeah. Yes, I do. I like it. And same thing.

I feel like he's very similar to her exes. So I don't think there are a lot of guys that stand out to me that, I mean, maybe a handful of that don't look like twins of her exes. Heather, you are so damn funny. I just, she says goatee, bold choice after the 90s. Oh, I'm not even looking at that. Oh, I'm not even looking at that. Too many.

It's boiled choice after the 90s. I mean, that is just funny to me. The goatee is a, you know, a little bit more of an antiquated look perhaps. But it's nice because, I mean, maybe he doesn't have the fully clothed beard, but he still wants that facial hair look that's so popular these days. See, I've been growing this thing out since 2006. And I can't grow facial hair to save my life.

I have to laugh because I had the Us Weekly article on top of the chat. So I didn't know there were chats popping up. And you took all of Heather's lines. Like you were acting like, oh, I'm so funny. I'm making up all of these things. Wait, which one did I take? But it's our producer.

Hold on. Which one did I take? all of them Oh the Travis Stork The Travis Stork You said for the roast You said Let's see

You said Um Do do do She Personal trainers No that was me first That was me first Okay fine

She said Oh yeah Personal trainers are retired athlete You said We can see a tiny bit of chest hair And necklaces Where did she say that And

Above in the chat I didn't see that one I thought that was me. I was zooming in on the pictures to see like this little tuft of hair right here. And I'm like, no, women, I don't know if women like that. I don't know if Mormon women like that. Yeah, maybe not. Great minds, exactly. You and Heather are on the same page. We are. We're kind of zoned in. But I often think, and this is, this is my ignorance, P.S. of the Mormon as a people. But I often think of Mormon and then for whatever reason, even I know they're not even

remotely related to one another and they don't do the same things. I immediately go to Amish. I don't know why. I'm like, oh yeah. You clearly do not know a lot of Mormon people because I do know a few just from the dance world. And Amish people don't dance in general. Every single one of the people that I know who are Mormon are drop dead gorgeous. Dead gorgeous, agreed. Drop dead gorgeous and really fit and always fashionable and stylish. Most of them can dance, yes, and the sweetest people on the planet. So I agree. But that's not to say that Amish people aren't those exact same things.

I think... True. They just don't have the fashion sense, maybe. Right, right, yeah. Well, and also, I don't think that they put a lot of value into going to the gym. Correct. They might work on the... back in the day.

They do more like milk, milk buckets and things of that much. Yeah, I mean, they're probably really strong, but oh my gosh, how did we get down here? How did we get onto this path? Thank you. This was so fun. I love a spontaneous little podcast where we get to just chat and laugh and talk about people we don't even know. Yeah, based on pictures.

Great teeth. Every one of those dudes had a beautiful smile. Good luck to the cast. Good luck to Taylor, Frankie Paul. You got almost famous, the OG's endorsement for finding love. I hope it works. Yeah. And I want to say that the casting editor did, or the casting department did do a great job so far.

From what we've seen from the pictures, I think they've nailed it so far. And like we've said, oh, wait, we have to go back to the date. How we tell people to go on the date. Okay. So if you want to be part of Taylor's Journey, this is on the Bachelor Nation. website is probably bachelornation.com. So Monday, November 3rd, Wednesday, November 5th, and these are both in Los Angeles. And then there's an email that you can go apply.

So go, enjoy it. If you're an almost famous fan, you're probably 100% a Bachelor Nation fan. And that would be so fun if you're going to be in Los Angeles. And if you let them know you're an almost famous fan, they'll probably make sure you get in. They love us over there. All right, Trista, always a pleasure. I love you, my friend. We love you guys from listening and for tuning in.

Thank you so much. Find us everywhere you find podcast, Insta, goodness, and all that stuff. And we will see you soon. Bye.
