He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.

Now, if the rule was the... same go off on me i deserve it you know lock him up listen to no such thing on the i heart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcast no such thing this is the ben and ashley i almost famous podcast with i heart radio hello guys welcome to the second almost famous podcast this week celebrating claire crawley's upcoming season which debuts on tuesday we're happy to be with you

double the dose this week. Hello, Ben. What's going on, Ash? Hey, this is a huge week. On this episode, we have Tenley, Eric Bigger and Luke Pell, all talking about clear season. Obviously, all of us are getting very, very exciting. As if you listened to the episode earlier this week, you knew we were confused because we've always thought there was two bacheloretts, but because right now we only know of one of them confirm this will be celebrating clear season until we know differently a quick reminder our episodes will be airing on tuesday nights uh from here on out because the show is airing on tuesday nights and uh we don't want to spoil anything for you actually uh big stance uh just a little bit

over a week ago um from the bachelor uh leading up to claire season obviously uh bowling uh which was what we talked about on the last episode with our Facebook group, any type of hate-filled comments. Well, The Bachelor will now start blocking hateful and racist trolls from social media. This according to Vulture. Yeah, this is interesting. Of course, we don't want anyone saying the horrible, ruthless things that a lot of contestants of The Bachelor do get on social media. I wonder where they're going to draw the line though i guess that's just my only question like does criticism get deleted or is just pure hatred get deleted because yeah just like where if somebody is criticizing but not in a super

malicious way is that considered something to be deleted it's uh it's gonna be interesting uh kudos to the bachelor i mean obviously 2020 has been a year of learning and growth and reflection and all of those things and a lot of also really hard things for many people. But the learning piece of this has been something that I do see The Bachelor trying. And that's, you know, if you go back a few months ago when we started to broach this subject of what does the Bachelor need to do, what does this franchise need to do, they're trying. And I think that's something to be celebrated and something to be admired, but they will start blocking hate-filled and racist comments that according to vulture once again well hey ashley uh we don't have uh any time to

pause in this episode because it's action packed there's a ton to go through and uh and tinley is on the line now 10ly leopold are you officially now going by your married name looks like you dropped moles on everywhere i am um legally i am leopold and moles on so it's a little confusing because i haven't it to the DMV. The DMV is a little bit of the hard part, but social security on Instagram. I'm trying to be Tenley Leopold, but Instagram still won't we let it change.

Aw, well, you guys know Tenley, 14th season of The Bachelor on my season of Bachelor in Paradise 2. You are a total friend to this show. You're a regular. We appreciate you. And you just had a baby girl

on, what was her birthday? September 20th. And her name is Rel. Well, James. How is motherhood treating you? What the past couple weeks been like? So yesterday, she officially turned two weeks old, which is just crazy that two weeks is blown by.

We are adjusting very well. The only, she's been a perfect little baby. She does really good at night. We get good stretches of sleep. and she eats really well and is usually alert during the day, except for these little stretches of nap time. So I had a really hard pregnancy, and I feel like God has just kind of redeemed that with how precious and good she is right now.

I know things can change, but we're doing pretty good two weeks in. I'm the only one with issues. I actually have, they kept us in the hospital one extra day because I have some strange medical stuff going on that they don't even know. I feel great, but we're going to get down to those issues, hopefully this week. So I'm the only one with problems. As a girl who's terrified of delivery and plans to hopefully have to deliver one day, how did that go? Well, my birth story, I will share another time because it's a little bit long. I mean, it's 30-something hours. And I went natural for 20 like 29 hours because that was my birth plan was no medication not so not

nothing and to power through and oh my goodness it was oh sweet girl um she it took it took a long time it's it's a little too much to explain but um after 29 hours it was like we needed to make room for something else so we went ahead and um i got the epidural which i was so bummed about but i'm so grateful um and also proud of myself for and taylor for the 29 hours that we went through he was a rock um there was a lot of prayer i played worship music his mom is a retired dula so we were over in purge of you with so nobody freaks out with the temperature turned down um and we just labored for 29 hours and ended up in the hospital thinking she was coming in like an hour and then maybe eight more hours later or more than that she finally came into the world so we thought she was going

to be born September 19th for sure um especially since I went into labor on 18th so it just doesn't work like you you imagine it for your first especially is what I've heard so but she's here where are we going to get this birth story um well I will try to try to type it up or share it somehow eventually while it's still fresh. But Taylor remembers more of it than I do just because I was in a zone, which is really incredible that we are capable of doing so. So Ashley, you're going to be a champ no matter what and the epidural. I was so so afraid of that needle. Go ahead and do it if that's what you. I'm not afraid of the needle. I'm a daughter of an anesthesiologist and I've been banking on the epidural since.

I was born. There you go. Well, that's perfect because I will say it did make a difference once it was in. But, yeah. And I'd be happy to share the full birth story, but I think it would be a long when it might be too much for Ben's years. Actually, no, Ben has, Ben knows his anatomy. Yeah. Oh, that's right.

And I learned a lot on this podcast. I learned a lot about this podcast, or just about everything from the same. podcast. I would like to pause here and say, Tinley, you aren't our only guest right now. Rel is in your arms as we watch you via Zoom. She is sleeping comfortably right now. And she is beautiful. Like absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations. What a cool deal. And when you do type this story up, please make sure to at least send us a message so we can share it through our channels because I know that's something that most people will be interested in following up on all right perfect i'd be happy to um it was it was quite a story

um so i'm proud of it she came in the world she's healthy she's good great that's right that's right well tindley uh we have to talk about clear season coming up uh yeah so claire has uh is the bachelor and i was we keep saying it but i think it's important as of right now she's the only bachelor's Charlotte that we have been confirmed on. So as you look forward to Claire's season, what are your thoughts? Well, I have been so excited for Claire since the day that they announced her. In fact, I think I had told Ashley, or I told you guys this before or something, but it was like a month before she was announced that I just had this feeling. I had said it to Taylor. And he's had the privilege of meeting her once. And I was just like, I have this feeling that Claire, there was

nothing about it. And if she was announced, I was just like, yes, this is so meant to be. So I'm kind of bummed and excited for the rumors, but I'm very, very excited to watch Claire just in her own element as the Bachelorette for as long as we get to see her as the Bachelorette, if rumors are true. And I think they are. But I just think that she's going to be so solid. And Claire is that kind She's just a woman who knows what she wants. And I think we're going to see that. And I think that if, again, if the rumors are true, that is so clear. Like to be able to go ahead and go for her heart's desire.

And that's what it's about. So I can't wait to see it all unfold. And hopefully there's a really true love story, maybe two love stories that we get to watch coming up. And just hoping and cheering for her and just really excited to see her in action. 10ly if Claire does leave after a couple weeks as as rumors are saying because she did find love so quickly and couldn't perhaps fake it with anyone else do you how do you feel about that decision i think it's honestly it's never been done before because well there's a lot at stake but i think it's pretty realistic so i'm really i'm really excited to see her just follow her heart. I'm not upset about it.

I think that I think it will be really interesting to see how it plays out for sure. But like I said, I think it's very clear to stick to our guns and go ahead and be like, I can't fake this. I won't fake it. I'm out.

And I've also had like a theory that maybe this was all something that was bound to happen or like that they kind of knew what's going to happen. She said, hey, you'd feel that way? Yeah. I feel like, I wouldn't put it past them to be like, well, Claire,

we've been an ass of a bachelorette. If you've fallen in love with somebody, we're going to go ahead and make it work. We're going to make a story out of it. And then have whoever is next come in, perhaps Tasia. And then her love story takes over. So I'm just really excited to see how it unfolds. But like I keep saying, it's just I feel like it's very clear just to follow her heart and to not fake anything and not doing it.

anything for the cameras or for Instagram or anything, just be Claire. So that's what I'm thinking is going to happen or could have happened. I have the same theory, though. And I'm not mad about it. Like I want to see if they tell us, hey, Claire's your Bachelorette and we get out there and we support her and then she falls in love in between there somehow, some way. I think it's great if they allow us to see it or allow us to get a glimpse of it. What I'm confused by is within the last few days,

we started an episode earlier this week by talking about how Chris Harrison says it's 100% clear season. And now we're hearing rumors that we don't hear Tasha rumors. And so I think I'm just confused. But either way, we're going to get to see hopefully a love story play out. And that's something cool. Yeah. But what does he mean by, like they're showing us,

you blew up the Bachelorette. Yeah. So I'm excited. Oh, yeah, when he says that in the teaser. Yeah, but again, that can always come back to the jumping fence. Like, when's that going to happen? What's happening? Well, the fence job lived up to the hype, in my opinion.

That is true. That is true. That's right. Well, Tinley, again, congratulations. We look forward to many nights of you and Rell and Ev Taylor watching the Bachelorette, celebrating Claire. Keep us updated. Just an awesome story. And I'm, I don't know, I speak on everyone's behalf and say we're all celebrating you. Yes. Thanks, Ben. Thanks. And Tenley, I'm just going to throw the idea out there. If you and Taylor want to come on this podcast and

do an in-depth of your relationship and your birth story, we would love that. I would absolutely love to do an in-depth. It might be a little bit of pulling teeth for my introvert, slightly introverted husband um but i think that he would be really excited for me to get to share or maybe he'll sit by me for a little bit of it but would be honor i love that awesome yeah that'd be a really good way to uh just get the chat and catch up but uh hey tiling you're the best thanks for coming on thanks guys good to see you both you too see you see you later actually let's talk a second about sonobello i've got my mom's nose ashley what what kind of genetics do you get from both your parents Well, I have my grandmother's arms, and that's the body part that I hold some weight in that I would like to not hold weight in.

Amazing. So we're having a whole bunch of people on this week to celebrate Claire because her season premieres next week. you were not in the Bachelor Winter Games house long but based on the couple days you did get to hang out with Claire what was your impression um Claire and I actually got into it if people don't know you know as I was saying those words I was like I think that there was something sort of monumental there yeah oh I actually like Claire I think she She's, she's authentic.

She's real. She's about her business. She says what she fails and thanks. And she's a Pisces. If I'm not mistaken, I think her birthday is March 20th. So I'm a Pisces. So Ashley, you're a Pisces as well, I believe. So I kind of know how we are.

We're emotional. Is she really? Why do I feel like she's in, she might be in Aries? She's on a cuss. She's like first day. She's last day, Pisces. Okay. Yeah, so she's on a cut.

But, um, I mean, she's solid you know i think she's she's a woman that's what you call a woman right there i agree she's not um she ain't for no BS she ain't playing no games and um she here to claim her territory and what she needs so um clara is just a genuine good real soul uh that's how i would like to you know describe her but yet you got into an argument so what was that about yeah so i was telling her i think i was telling i said why was your guard up so much you got your guard up What is that about? And I think it got to a point where she told me about, like, the past season she was on,

if I'm not mistaken, and we talked about her dad for a moment. We had, like, a deep, deep, deep, deep combo. It was, like, off-like camera. Maybe they caught some of it, but it was, like, a deep. And then we kind of had, like, cleaned it up. It was cool. We just, I don't know, we had a moment. But I remember that day in Vermont, rode it by the fireplace.

and she wasn't she was letting me had it like I don't know the initial conversation reaction but I know it was something about her having her guard up but maybe I had my guard up I know it was something around those I mean this was what three years ago so it's been a while but but she's yeah that that was the conversation and then I think uh we all expect those honest authentic moments to come from Claire as her season approaches I don't think any of us are not thinking that if if somebody says something that maybe she disagrees with or comes that she will not stand up and put her foot down i think yeah and i you know we've said it many times but i always have the theory that you know the it does it doesn't matter if the bachelorette or

bachelor is likable like they can always be likable on tv i think the mark of a really good bachelor bachelorette is how they react to really difficult situations and i that's why i've always thought claire's going to be terrific at this um and i'm excited to watch it And, I mean, she has experience. She's been through every damn near phase of the franchise, from the first show to Bachelor in Paradise. Did she go to Bachelor in Paradise? Yeah, yeah, Passion Paradise. And then she did a bunch of games.

She had, what's this guy, Benoit? Is it Benoit? Was it Benoit? Yeah. Yeah. Nice memories, buddy. Yeah, the engagement. Like, so she literally has been through damn near every emotion.

Now, and it's time for her to get that crown and, you know, find her king. and live happy after. So I think it's timing. You know, timing is everything. And it's her time and I'm here and we all are here to celebrate her and her love. So I can't wait. You know, the anticipation must be like intense

based on everything else that's going on in the world. And the plot twist, I call it the plot twist. But yeah, so it should be fun. The plot twist of her season or the world? Oh. but you know it should be it's going to get some eyes for sure i know i'm watching so hey october 12 right 13th 13th okay in the day off yeah it's gonna be on tuesday this year uh or this season i guess uh at least for the time speaking uh eric before we let you go here what have you

up to uh what what do you have going on that our listeners can catch up with uh well i just recently published a book, a workbook called Transformation, Change Your Mindset, Change Your Energy, change your life. Chris Randall and myself published the book together. We wrote it together over the pandemic, and it's on Amazon. We get it to Amazon, and the intentions is to help people get out of their own way and get a great understanding of who they are. So you have tools and you have exercises to do to become your best self and transform. It's a miracle see. and I've just been working on work. I got another book coming out, a quote book, probably the end of this year.

So I'm just creating products and doing the best I can with what I have. The attitude is gratitude. Well, I want to know about your attitude based on one of Chris Harrison's quotes this week. He said that it's 100% Claire season. How do you feel about that if Tasia does end up, taking over at some point in the in the season well i don't really had no feelings towards i mean maybe it is i mean i don't i can't i can't say it's not because i wasn't there to know the filming process or what's going on uh of course that was the initial thing that it was clear season

we're going to represent her um and i'm pretty sure tajie will get some support as well so i don't really even the comment is so like general and vague like 100% her season i don't even know what that entails. What does that really mean? I would ask Chris Herson, what are you really saying? Elaborate on that. Like, what context are you saying that? Because you can look at it so many different ways. But I always believe that we, it's easy to look at something one way and have opinion or be entitled to feelings, but we don't really know what he's thinking when he said that. So I'll have a follow question like, Chris, what does that actually mean? Is 100% her seat in what aspect are you saying? Because you can, anyone can interpret it.

any type of way but i don't think he's like not thinking about tasia that's not that's not who he is so no not at all we're more just curious this that's uh that that quote is interesting because we've always thought tasha's coming on uh and i still think that we just don't know how when where and at what capacity and we're we're pumped for this season because honestly eric when they said hey it's going to be in one location and they announced like i don't know the million guys that we're going to go on to her season at one point we're like we don't know what this is going to look like or how this is going to be good and now we're convinced and everybody's super pumped about clear season of the bachelor at potentially tations who knows at

this point um eric you're the man thanks for coming on good luck with these books uh keep writing keep sharing keep spreading positivity thanks for coming on the almost famous podcast once again we'll be talking to you very soon thanks for having me you guys be phenomenal continue all this success because it's all the most famous podcast. Thank you. Change your mindset, change your energy, change your life is on Amazon now. Yeah, go get it. Transformation.

My dad is a farmer, and my mom is a cousin. So, like, it's not like... What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a 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. On 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 Stan up comedy and murder take center stage available now listen to wisecrack on the iHeart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts hola it's honey german and my podcast graces come again is back

this season we're going even deeper into the world of music and entertainment with raw and honest conversations with some of your favorite latin artists and celebrities you didn't have to audition no i didn't audition i haven't audition in like over 25 years oh wow Wow, that's some real G-talk right there. Oh, yeah. We've got some of the biggest actors, musicians, content creators, and culture shifters sharing their real stories of failure and success.

You were destined to be a start. We talk all about what's viral and trending with a little bit of chisement, a lot of laughs, and those amazing vibras you've come to expect. And of course, we'll explore deeper topics dealing with identity, struggles, and all the issues affecting our Latin community. You feel like you get a little whitewash because you have to do the code switching?

I won't say whitewash because at the end of the day, you know, I'm me. Yeah. But the whole pretending and cold, 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. All right, from one winter games star to another, we have Luke Pell on the line. Luke. Hey, guys. How are you out today? We're good. It hasn't been long since we had you on the podcast. You were here recapping Jojo's episode of The Goat season. But we want you here again, of course, because you are a friend of ours, a friend of our podcast. And you were with Claire on Winter Games with us. And she, you know, she was there for a long time. You were there for the entire time. And do you have any stories about Claire that, didn't make air but you think are worth sharing uh clear um no about he that didn't make air

i think most of those made air that i saw but yeah i mean the first thing that pops up is when you know her whole hot tub debacle with uh what was his name i'm blanket was his name christian was a christian yeah and uh yeah i mean so that at that point that's when i was like well claire she's not uh she's not gonna take any any uh funny business from anybody she's pretty serious about this yeah she put put him in his play they're serious about it and you know or don't come out me with these weird games and stuff so and he was upset too i think but it was just funny um claire was like you know she was so experienced i guess i don't know how many different bachelor's been off that she's done but that was her fourth so this is her fifth

this will be her fifth season yeah okay yeah so i mean she's been experienced in that world and and i guess the paradise world as well where you know there's guys and girls and kind of that that house environment and uh so yeah i mean she was she was cool to hang out and that was my first time meeting her um was was in that experience and we get to know her and um you know I'm anxious to be where where her season goes and it looks like preliminarily that there's going to be real drama, and so I'm excited for it. Some real drama. And thanks for bringing up the jacuzzi drama.

Oh, you were supposed to mean the jacuzzi, like, you were supposed to be in the jacuzzi and you didn't come to the jacuzzi. I was right there for that. Watch that whole thing go down. That whole show was, was an interesting experience to be living in a house with a bunch of people having relationships. I'd even know they were like mad at each other for probably two weeks. weeks of the time that they're mad at each other or dating or whatever it was oh my gosh there was cultural barriers language barrier and uh that was definitely a huge sociological experience in that house so it was i was glad you guys were there do you guys remember how hard we cried when yuki left

oh yeah she's the best we were so emotionally drained after that she was my favorite that that was the most fun of the whole experience with just like hanging out with her interacting with her we cooked breakfast at one point me and her she showed me how to put sugar and some scrambled eggs i never thought that that would be good at all she was particularly into you two guys she really clung on to you it was adorable i was like yeah yuki you got great taste i was already gone by the time yuki left so i didn't have to cry uh for her departure oh you were you i think she left like hours after you yeah yeah yeah she was a she was a good she's just a good a good a good human um luke obviously uh it's not a secret 2020 has been uh a year of changes and slowdowns and

shutdowns and everything in between uh you are a musician you're an artist uh how has your life been affected uh by everything uh over the last few months um i'm sure much like a lot of us you know it's it's it's had varying degrees of impact you know And you've kind of gone through these cycles where, you know, at the very beginning, it was a lot of uncertainty and, you know, everything starts changing rapidly and everything starts getting locked down. And it's kind of surprises you at certain times. You don't, the next week unfolds. And then you're like, wow, this is a reality. You know, you've become determined with it. And so, you know, in Nashville, all of these folks in the entertainment business, entertainment world or anything having to do with that, you know, their lives have been impacted. greatly and uh you know some of these people that was all that they were into as far as business and their life was just consumed by being in the entertainment world and that completely got shut down so um you know my heart goes out to those folks and uh luckily i had you know some other things going besides music you know i've got the moving company that i work with and and uh some

commercial real estate stuff that that i'm into but um but music you know is it's such a a community you know gathering of bringing people together and it's just been sad to see that just be kind of non-existent you can try to do it online and streaming and whatnot it's just it's been tough so um i i hear the groans for like the country music community and i think a lot of the music community in general they want to uh engage with people whenever we safely can do that again uh they're literally looking forward to that to that time so i know i am the i mean you just mentioned it and it's been a question i have just out of curiosity as a musician if that was the the only thing you have going on uh and you're not able to tour how how much

of your income life is uh attributed to touring or is there ways that these musicians are still making it is there ways that listeners can still support them um is there anything that anybody can do, including musicians, to, like, get back up and going again? I mean, they've had to get creative, you know. I was with a buddy yesterday who was making a living on songwriting and making a living on playing shows. He was on American Idol several years ago, and then that was his thing. And he moved down from Maryland, or somewhere up northeast, to be here in Nashville.

And he's completely had to pivot and go back to working some other jobs. and different industries and things like that to, you know, bridge the gap. And so that has been a very common story that I've heard of a lot of guys and cows here in Nashville that, you know, had, you know, their careers kind of put on hold at least for this year and hopefully not too much longer than that. But, yeah. Luke, you told us that you were single the last time you were on the podcast. Have you tried the dating, the quarantine dating?

that's going on? No, I haven't. You know, I wanted time way to kind of just get myself right and think through what was happening and where my life is going. And I'm at that point where, you know, I talk to my parents about seasons of life that they're in and where I'm at. You know, it's one of things. I'm looking for that next season of life where I can, you know, have kids and have a family. family and not be in a perpetual cycle of being single and, you know, just living from trip to trip and weekend and those type of things that, you know, can kind of happen if you get in towns like Nashville or L.A. or New York where it's all about the vibe and what everybody, what the cool kids are doing and all that kind of stuff. So yeah, I'm very much looking

forward to that next season but i haven't i have not dated anybody else um you know i did um my my ex and i we we talked some through the summer and we spent some time together to try to you know just come to peace and come to terms i guess where we were ending off and what our path forward would be and if there was the chance that we could get back together and those type of things you know the day we loved each other so much and wanted to support each other as people and and and in one of the best. So that's kind of been it. It's just been a very slow summer of trying to, you know, have quality relationship with everyone in my circle, you know, and refocus on what the future may hold. And I think that's been the silver lining for this, this different year

that's been forced upon us is at the time to kind of reflect and say, what, what's the purpose in your own life? You know, where, where you at on that, on that mountain of life that we're all climbing you know and where do you want to go from here and so i think that that's what it's been for me this summer and i've had time to take back and go the lake and make make new friends and get a new circles and give back to the community and do things like that that really matter and so that's that's been that's been my focus well it's a great time for that we just talked about earlier the reflection piece of this time has been important uh and now you know obviously uh at a different level um but uh same sentiment is we will now have some time to kind of uh deflect and take

our minds off of it watching clear season of the bachelor at that i know we're all excited to watch luke uh we're wishing the best keep coming on the podcast keep catching up um last question for you just because i am intrigued are you going to get back to music once this thing passes and you can get back out there you know i definitely will get back to music when this is all over it's something that I love and I'm passionate about. And so I absolutely continue doing that and writing songs and creating music and hopefully putting some out for other people to hear and enjoy it. And it's just something I really love and we'll always do.

So, yeah. You're the man, Luke. Hey, Luke Pell, everybody, thanks for coming on, the Almost Famous Podcast. We'll be talking to you very soon. Thanks for taking some time to chat with us today. All right. Thanks, guys. Enjoy it.

living in the same house with Claire, let us know who we're missing, and we will try to get them on. But until next week, when we are recapping The Bachelor, we have one more thing we should probably do. We should go through these guys again, Ben, because they announced the list of men

that will officially, yeah, the final list, because we did go through a ton of them, 42 of them a couple months ago, and now the 31 that will actually be appearing on this season were now announced.
