Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is the almost famous podcast with IHartRadio. Hey, everybody. It's Bob Guinea here. I'm a little bit famous talking about, of course, Farmer wants a wife with the producer to the stars, the lovely and talented Heather Mundy. Hi, Heather. Hi, Bob. I'm excited about today.

I am too. I'm very excited because we have a very special guest. And I'm super excited about this because she has been a lightning rod. this season to say the least. She's had a lot of attention, deservedly so. I think she created a bunch of interesting moments. We have a lot to get into with her. That's for sure. So, I mean, she's got a pageant passed. She's a personal trainer. And she's a bit of a paparazzi. You know, like what I did there? She was. I do like that. Yeah, she was very adept with the camera. Yeah, obviously we are talking about Carson Hughes from this season.

I think we should bring her in. Carson! Hi. Hi, we're so excited to chat with you. I'm so excited to be here. So what an experience, huh? I mean, you had to just, first of all, okay, Carson, because you're young, you might not know who I am. So I was one of the original bachelors, okay, dating way back in the day.

I was on Trista's season of the Bachelorette. And they made me the bachelor right after then. So this goes back before you were born. But I will tell you that we had no shortage of moments like some of the ones that you experienced on your show. And I was very excited. Both Heather and I both were very excited to watch this season and to get to know you and to kind of see the ebbs and flows of what you went through. I mean, first of all, I will tell you, I feel like I have a, I feel like you and I would be buddies.

Here's what. You bust out the camera. It's adorable. You're taking pictures. You know, you're doing your thing. I mean, Heather, is it okay if I just get right into it? I know we have a whole litany of things we wanted to ask you. But I said, what a brilliant tactical move to throw those pictures up on the refrigerator, right?

So when everyone else comes over, it's like, welcome to our home. That's how I saw. And I thought it was brilliant, adorable as well. I mean, the pictures were cute. Heather's like, no, I don't think so. I don't think that's the case. Will you please solve this burning question for us? I think it may have started off just as a whatever,

but it was a brilliant move. You got under some people's skin with that move, and I liked it. Did you do it intentionally, or was it more just being in the moment? I cannot take credit for that move, unfortunately. No? But did some producers perhaps encourage you

to throw those pictures up on the fridge? I can tell you this. I saw them for the first time when the girls saw them as well. Okay. This kind of goes back to what I said, which was when those girls first went into the house, they were told to look around real hard, I think, because first thing I do is I don't, you know, look at the fridge when I walk in and I'm looking at my new digs.

But that's just me. Okay, that's a really good insight that we're reading between the lines from that. Like Bob kind of mentioned, you were the first one. to get a solo date with Farmer Brayden, which in a lot of ways I thought was a big telling moment, right? Because on that first night, the farmers had to meet so many women that it's almost like the first impression rose on The Bachelor.

If you get invited back to the farm first, we see a lot of parallels with that. And I wanted to know, because you also got the first kiss with Farmer Braden, What would you rate his kissing skills on a scale of 1 to 10? Okay. We did not actually kiss. So it was a cheek action.

It was a cheek action. It's hard to tell sometimes with the cowboy hat. Yeah, with the cowboy cover. Okay. Yes. It throws off our depth perception. I know. Looking at the pictures, too, I'm sure the girls seeing that on a fridge were like,

did they kiss? Did they not? I can tell you right now, we did not kiss. Okay. So the fridge, though, moment was a lot of tension in the house. I think that was what started things. And we'll get into kind of, you know, what the women were alluding to later on when it comes to you and things that happened off camera. But I want to know from your perspective, who do you think was the most calculated one in the house? Oh, gosh. That throws people under the bus. Oh, gosh. Okay. I feel like that is such like a, I think we, I will say this, we all have calculated moments, myself included. I will 100% say that.

You are four or five girls all dating the same person and you're trying to think, like, how can I make sure that he still sees me in this moment? And so with that, I don't think that there's anybody that is, I would say, 100% more calculated than anyone else. I think we all had our different versions of calculations and what we were doing. Bob, would you say that was a perfect pageant answer? Honestly, I think that goes the right along with I wish for world peace. Exactly.

For, you know, childhood, obesity to be eradicated from the planet. I think it goes along with all that. Carson, we're pulling your leg. We love that you are a proud pageant girl. Why don't we just rewind a little bit? Two times Miss Texas. Exactly. Why don't we rewind and you tell us a little bit about how you got into pageants,

why you got into pageants? Because I think that is a through line, too, with your connection. with the other women in the house? Yeah, so a lot of people don't know this, but I actually got into pageantry because I did not come from a family where we had the funds for me to go to college. And so I did it for scholarship money.

And so I was able to pay off all my student debts, on my student loans. So that was a blessing. I'm still currently going through college even at, you know, 26 years old. And that's just a fun thing. But I've told myself I'm not going to allow myself to be in debt for something that, you know,

when I can go through, pageants and maybe make some money with it. Smart. That's awesome. Yeah, very smart. What were you studying in school? Yeah, so I originally started out for architectural engineering. So my dad was a general contractor.

And so, you know, I was kind of always in that construction realm of things. But I loved knowing, like, the design of buildings. I was big into Legos when I was a kid. And so I was like, I just want to do that for a living. And so, yeah, that's what I went for. And but I have previously, I mean, like, I went ahead and swapped that. I realized maybe that's not the best thing for me. And I'm actually going back in for nursing because that's my,

that's like my all-time go is anything in the healthcare industry. I'm a personal trainer right now. So yeah, I love it. Very cool. That's awesome. I like both of those items. I like both of those fields of study. I mean, I was a telecommunications major.

And, you know, a lot of people don't realize that, but I use my degree every day, right, Heather? Definitely. You do. You do. I'm a college dropout. I went for journalism school. Nobody cares, but I still feel like I used what I learned in those four years that I was in school somewhat. Heck yeah. I love it. I love it. All right. So here's one of my questions that I think is, did you feel like there was at one point in the show, and I don't want to skip around too much, but there was at one point in the show where you kind of brought it up, that this experience was bringing back some flashbacks for you from your pageant days. And it was a little bit around, I think, some of the cattyness, particularly.

potentially that I guess it could be labeled that or maybe that you didn't like that you kind of had a little bit of a target on your back. And so what did you mean by that? Like what was it primarily that made you feel that way that it was one of those things where you were kind of like, I've been here before. I'm not doing this again. You know, I'm out. Yeah, I think it was one of those things that things can be said and they can be misconstrued very easily, especially when tensions are high. And so with that for somebody not to come to you and say, hey, I need a little bit more clarification on this. Like you said this, I took it this way, is this correct? No one, no one wanted to do that. Instead, they kind of wanted to talk amongst themselves and in that

group. And with that, that's fine. You know, you handle however you need to handle things. But for me, it's like I would have gladly given an explanation. I would have gladly talked through that. And I will say, we did get to that point. But I did not know that things were being said until I was actually sitting in that chair and they filmed my reaction to it all. Which was the laugh, I think, right? which was the ha ha ha ha ha. Yes, literally. It was a very uncomfy laugh.

It was. You could tell you something was going to happen. Yeah, I was like, what is going on right now? So yeah, that was one of those things. And I made it very clear, too, to these girls. I will never say anything on camera about somebody else in those one-on-one interviews because, number one, I'm going to speak to you about it first. I want to clear that up.

I'm somebody I hate that type of tension and that type of calm. So it's like for me, I'm going to come to you first. I'm going to figure it out. Sometimes I may not always have the best way of explaining things in the moment, but I'd rather try and explain it than to sit on it and let it stew and make it angry and angry about something.

Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's a trend. extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think

it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking

about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say, hey Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Me and hilarious guests from Jim Gaffigan to Bob Odenkirk, to David Letterman, help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an Acapella band with their between songs banter.

There's the worst singer in the group. The worst? Yeah. Me. Is there anything to the idea that because you're from Harvard, you only got in because your parents made a huge donation. The group. The yard birds, right? That's the name.

The Harvard yard, but they're open to change. Do you have a name suggestion? We're open. Since you guys are middle aged. One erection. Listen to humor me with Robert Smyg. and friends on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. You, but me, I need some jokes to make me seem funny.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis, and I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris, every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Jenchian went. I mean, she went down to three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay.

Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Going back to Bob's question, he brought up the pageant pass. You also said that your pageant past got so bad with whatever this was that you actually had to move states. Yeah.

What was that? Like, what? That sounds crazy. I mean, yet again, I competed in Tennessee. So that's where I was born and raised is the Nashville, Tennessee area. I competed in the Miss Tennessee pageants. And with that, I had some girls that. I didn't realize we're saying things until I had already competed in the pageant, didn't realize,

you know, any of this went on. Nobody came up to me. Nobody talked to me about it. What's oddly, like, oddly funny is I never really spoke to this girl. So I had no clue that she would even be somebody that would have said anything. And yet again, it was one of those things that people didn't, they didn't want to hear my side of the story. They just wanted to go with it and see how far they could get to make sure that I wasn't

somebody that I would say placed or, you know, had attention on this. them for a positive reason. Right. Yeah. That's like one of the bad raps that I think a pageant could possibly have, right? Is that there's this kind of behind the scenes. I don't know. I mean, my only, you know, affiliation with pageantry is, you know, miscongeniality.

Sorry, standard book. And I really felt like miscongeniality, too, gave me such a more in-depth vision of that world. But no, it is kind of curious because, you know, I'm not sure. Are you still watching the show now that you've left the show or were you just kind of like, I'm done? I'm still watching it. I'm so excited for tomorrow.

Are you kidding me? Okay. Okay. Good. No, I'm excited. There's some of that's still happening, right? Yeah. Yeah, no, absolutely.

But, you know, for me, it's one of those things that I wish these girls nothing but the best and I want to watch it play out for them and, you know, see all their highs in it. So I'm cheering them on every step of the way. So, of course, I'm watching. That's awesome. Do they have a reunion show in the mix? Like, do they get you all back together? there again or no? I wish. I feel like that would be so much fun, you know, because it's like,

I don't even know how it ended. I don't know anything. So I'm getting to watch it and kind of be part of the crowd again and see, because yeah, I don't, I don't have any insight to what actually takes place. I think, I see the name Molly Walker on my screen. I just want to say it for the record, Molly Walker. I think we should do a reunion podcast of all the girls before the finale. Just putting it out there because I think we could really handle this. We could really help navigate this and bring it a big, put a big bow on it. Oh my goodness. What do you think, super producing? Yes. Thank you, Molly. I think we're definitely going to be speaking to the farmers and their final picks and some more women, you know, throughout this season as we're watching. You know, some of the ones that really stick out to us,

especially, and that's why we're starting with Carson because she really did make an impression on us when we were watching. And I think, Bob, the most burning question that you and I both have and have said while recapping this is, we need to know, what did you say off camera that the women went and alluded to to Farmer Braden? Yeah, that's a really good question. I'm not going to lie. I would love to know the answer to that too. Stop. You don't know either. You don't know what they could have possibly pulled at to say that you had the incorrect motives for being on the show. I mean, it's a, it's a direct correlation to your character. And they said specifically

that you said poor things about Farmer Braden himself. Yeah, I'm going to be honest, my jaw was on the ground when I heard that. I was like, I was like, oh, out of all the things I could conjure, I'm just like, there's no wet, because I can tell you now, there is nothing but just like joy and excitement and just so much fun when I think of Farmer Braden, there was no negatives for me to ever talk about him, like ever. You were pretty shook at the fact that the farm was really isolated in a way when Farmer Brayden told you that if you wanted to go get butter, it was going to be a 30-minute drive

to town. Could there have been any confusion or, you know, any context or something missing from a conversation about being way out secluded if you were to live there and maybe not being familiar with that or super interested in that that the women could have taken wrong? So I will say this. When we were in the barn before we all got picked and taken back, I had my time with Braden and I came back and I was kind of talking with the girls and I was like, well, how do you think it went? How do you think went?

And I told them, I was like, I genuinely don't know. I blacked out. I have no clue what happened in that moment. And I was like, but I feel like I was a little bit commanding and a little bit. little bit overbearing in that moment. And so I felt that I was like, this man is thinking that I'm crazy. Like, I'm trying to take control. And I was not trying to take control. I'm just one of those people that it's like, for instance, I brought the camera out and we took the picture on our date and he said it behind the rock. And then we just never looked at it again. And I was like,

don't you, I don't you look at the picture? I was like, going to look at the picture. And I was like, you can put in your pocket. You can put it right there. You can keep it. Yeah. And so, It was one of those things for that alone. I was like, maybe I was a little too pushy with some things. I don't know. And so I told the girls that. And so I think for them, them hearing my concerns and being like, oh, Carson's, Carson may not make it.

And then getting picked for the first date, that was probably in their mind like, is this girl just fibbing? Is she, you know. But that's genuinely how I felt. I was like, I think I just scared this poor guy away. But yeah. So maybe that was it. Maybe they were like, oh, you know, she doesn't tell you the truth, but that was my honest feelings towards it.

So never, never a moment then, never like even a moment of tension between you and the other girls that. Okay. Now, that would, I would say that would be a little bit going far. Okay. Okay. I can reel that one back. I do. There were a couple things, but again, they were off camera.

They were things that I would say, again, it was just taken in a way that I don't think anybody would have expected it to be taken. in that way. There was a situation where the dog ate a grape. And I don't know if you guys know about dogs and grapes. Not supposed to eat them. I do know that. No, no.

Yes. And it does not matter how big they are. It does not matter anything. Well, I had just gone through something. I did not know this information. And I'm actually shooketh because I gave my puppy a grape last week. I didn't know I'm not supposed to. Yeah.

It's extremely toxic. Like one can kill a dog. Yeah. You're lucky to be a lot. Percie. Wow. Yes. You guys, I'm actually shook. He kept spitting it out and I kept being like, no, no, no, eat it. Is that why you followed up with a Snickers bar for him? Because you know chocolate's no good either. I mean, if we're educating people today. I gave him a whole thing a chocolate right after. No, I know. I'm sorry to interrupt. Never knew you're not supposed to give a dog grapes.

Continue. So the dog ate a grape. The dog ate a grape. And I was asked, they were like, do you think it's okay that bogey ate a grape? And I was like, no. I was like, that is so not okay. Well, they don't realize my experience with this. I just spent just a few weeks ago, I would say, an entire five days in an ER with my dog who

had eaten. We didn't even know if he ate one grape or four grapes. There was a grape stem with a bag that was. ripped open. And so I had spent that time with him and my dogs are my babies. Like I love them more than life. And so coming to that close of like in my mind, a near death experience with my puppy. I didn't want anybody else to be in that situation. So I did. I was like, oh gosh, no. I was like, that's not okay. Like we need to get somebody right now. We need hydrogen peroxide. We need to make sure that he throws up because we we don't know how that will react in bogey system. And I think in that

moment, it was just a very harsh reaction of like, no, he's not okay. And so the individual thought, you know, like, I was blaming them. There was no blame at all. I know it was an accident. But for me, it's like, I want to make sure Braden's dog's okay, number one, because I just had that reaction of like, I need to go in and I need to save this dog's life because I just did out with my dog.

Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special.

Big Dog or small dog? What do you have? Big dogs or small dogs? Oh, I have big dogs. I have three. So, yes, it's a golden retriever, German Shepherd, and then like a husky German Shepherd mix.

Awesome. Got to love those big dogs, you know? And I like the small dogs too, Heather, I do. But you got to love those big dogs. Oh, yes. I honestly, this is a full-blown lesson for me because I have no one. idea and I literally never feed him scraps and I gave him a grape and I could have killed him. I had no idea. No idea. He's kicking. He's breathing now. It's okay. That's right. Yeah. I'm sure it's already, you know, out in your yard. I honestly think I had to, I kept encouraging him and I think I just gave up. I don't even know if he actually fully ate it. But anyways, anyways. So that was the moment that possibly created some tension between you and the women. Got it. I, I want to

go to your exit conversation with Farmer Braden because you decided a lot like some other women that we've seen on the show. A lot of women have decided to leave this experience on their own. Self-eliminate. Self-eliminate, which we're all for it. You know, take ownership of your situation. And if you're not feeling it, you're not feeling it. But in your exit conversation with Farmer Braden, I thought that you use very specific language when you were speaking to him because you said that you couldn't come back after the comments that the women had made about you. So I want to know, did you mean come back in the sense that you and Farmer Braden couldn't move past this or build upon this situation in your relationship? Or did you mean come back in the sense of with the audience that you

could already foresee how this was being planted and painted for your image on the show? I think it's a little bit of both, but there is a heavier way with Braden. I said in my little exit interview, I talked about how, you know, there were those winks and there were those moments with him that you could really tell, like he was still connected and he was still wanting to pursue. And then after the horse race, it was no longer there. And that was also the same time when I ended up finding out, like, I thought he came over to me to talk to me because he wanted to and like that was just him like wanting to form a connection I did not realize that the girls had talked to him yet and so kind of hearing that and hearing you know the whole reason why you

came up to me was because you were wanting to settle something rather than to like really see how I was doing and go from there and that kind of opened my eyes to some things I'm like okay I'm not sure that it's even worth it to be another playing card in the deck because at this point it's like I'm if I I'm not getting the same type of pursuit that I had in the beginning. Are you ever going to come back to that? You know, and so it's very easy for me to be like, let me make this choice simple. Like, if you're already given some other girls the eyes, go for them. You know, it's like, this is your ability to find your future person.

I want you to have the best chance of that. And so if I know it's not me, I'll let you pick whoever you need. I can go home to my doggies. If he'd given a little bit of a fight and said, like, I don't care what they say or please don't go. I want you to stay. Do you think you would have in that moment or was your mind pretty much made up? I mean, intentionality can definitely change things. Someone's intentions and where they are willing to put effort, that can definitely change things. But at the end of the day, I'm home and I'm living my best life. So I think it worked out exactly

how it should have worked out. That's good. I love that. I have one more question for you. So when you watch the show back now, like you've been watching, watching along with everyone else, right? And you see all of these farmers who I happen to like all of these guys. And I think they did a great job casting the show with the ladies too. And when you watch back, do you, obviously now, especially with hindsight being 20, 20, you're home already. You're with your dogs. You're happy.

When you see these other relationships playing out, do you see yourself possibly having a better match potentially with one of the other farmers? or do you, you know, are you sitting there watching and going, oh my God, look at that guy's mustache, you know? Like, you're thinking about that? Yeah, is that just me. Because Heather is very, very end of her. I got hard eyes for Farmer Brett for sure. But that's a good question because, yeah, do you wish to go off of what Bob said? Do you wish you kind of pulled a Lauren and switched farmers if you had, now that you've seen their personalities playing out on camera?

Oh, gosh. that that's a hard question um because i honestly don't know how much i'm allowed to share in this the selection process and things and but you know we got we got little snippets of them that you know we could we could rank our farmers from and i would have never guessed that i would have been in illinois but i was and you know i think there's always reasons for things in life and and that for me like maybe this was this was a reason for me to experience this because I wasn't meant to be a former. I don't know.

I really don't know. That's an interesting answer. Interesting answer, Bob. I want to know, Carson is saying she's living her best life back at home. Does that mean that you're dating? I'm going to take that long pause as a yes, Bob. I don't know about you. And when it goes up an octave like that,

I think that means something. For sure. Yes. No, I can 100% say that, yes, I am dating and I am not dating a former. But I am dating somebody that I will say is quite dreamy and everything that I would ever want. So that for you. That's awesome. It goes back to my theory, Bob, which I tell a lot of people, because Carson, I previously

have cast a lot of dating shows specifically. And I've always said to people when they're in the sign up process. that like, hey, the odds might not be in your favor to actually find love on camera. But I can pretty much guarantee that if you use the experience to put out to the world on a large platform who you are, love will walk into your life pretty close after being on the show. And so, guys, this is living proof. This is Carson saying she's found somebody dreamy after being on season four of Farmer wants a wife.

So deservedly so, too, Carson. Exactly. We deserve it. We're happy for you. Yes. Thank you. This has been so fun, Bob, not only getting to talk to Carson, but, you know, the fact that we're recapping this whole season, it's been a blast. So everybody can definitely tune in to Farmer wants a wife. It's on Tuesdays. And we will continue to be recapping the show every week here on the a little bit famous podcast. And thanks so much, Carson, for coming on with us. Thank you for having me. Thank you, Carson. Continued success and happiness.
