this is the ben and ashley i almost famous podcast with iheart radio hello everyone welcome to the almost famous podcast it's ashley and bet isn't here today but we have a couple other seasoned hosts over here well okay another season host and then another host to be we got beka kufrin and Andrew Spencer, they will be hosting the upcoming Bachelor Live, which, surprise, there's more Bachelor Live. We thought that was over. But now they're here to announce today that there's more to come. So without me blabbling on, Becca, Andrew, tell us the big news.

Yeah, well, surprise. Yeah, surprise. We're going back on tour. It's going to look a little bit different this time around. Obviously, the last time we did it, we were across the country in a new news. city. This is going to be at just one resort in Arizona. It'll be at talking stick every weekend in April. And we're so excited to just bring it back to the stage. And apparently, we just found this out. Scottsdale is the number two hottest place for bachelor's party. So I feel like we're

going to have a really good demographic. Yeah. Can't wait to see all that. We know, definitely bachelor's trying to get a shot to maybe win the hearts of mine, but maybe also Rodney's as well. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Okay, well, Andrew, you play a special role. Some of the weekends you will be hosting when Becca's not there. And then some of the weekends, you will be The Bachelor. Are you going to be there all weekends?

Yeah, all weekends, all of April, and I can't wait to do it. It's going to be a little scary once she handed me over the reins and I'm being the host. But I think I should be able to do well, especially with Rodney there to help me out. I'm also might be handing out. out first impression roses at the beginning of, you know, the show. So we'll see. We are going to actually be doing fun, like pre-event mingles where we'll be there meeting any of the fans who want to come early.

And during that time, either Andrew or Rodney, depending on the weekend, we'll be meeting people at those events and handing out a pre-rose. So they'll already know before coming up on stage that they'll be pulled. Oh, okay. So, Andrew, if you're so involved in this tour, why wouldn't you just be the actual Bachelor? You know what? That's a great question, but I can't answer that. Andrew, for a Bachelor, put it out of the other. I'm a Bachelor host, Rodney. You get to see Rodney. I know. Well, Rodney's the other person. People wanted to be The Bachelor. So, ladies, this is your time to experience. the two guys that you wanted to be the bachelor

and it could be even better because in this case you could just fly out to Scottsdale and you might actually be able to date them in front of people just like you would on the show. We might even like switch it up and do a double date one of those

nights there in Scottsdale. And it's more fun. Less rules them when you film. So I say come on and hang out with us. Yeah. Okay. So let's talk about Rodney's role. You guys are host slash your bachelor but rodney will only be bachelor on certain nights yes so he'll only be the bachelor for the second weekend of april yeah april 14th and 15th for anyone who needs a timestamp on it thank you

so for all timestamps where can people go because i know that there's some ladies out there that probably really want to date you and rodney and want to make sure that they're at your dates so the first show will be weekend the weekend of april seventh and eighth that'll be both andrew and I, the weekend after that, that Friday and Saturday will be Andrew and Rodney. And then the last weekend that'll wrap up the tour is April 21st and 22nd. That'll be the two of us again. And talking sickresort.com has all of the details info. That's where you can get tickets to. So check it out. It's a, you're saying Scottsdale is a big bachelor at destination. Now, I'm assuming it's followed by Nashville, which would be the number one bachelor at.

spot? Yes. Do we have any idea why people are flocking to Nashville for, I mean, just Scottsdale for this? The warm weather, you're in a pool. It's a really good venue here. It's beautiful. It's so beautiful. So it's a lot more fun. There's a lot more things you can do. Sometimes Nashville gets a little chilly. And here, you're just out with their girls with a couple of drinks in a pool and get to go and try to date to very available men. Does this situation put you and Roddy in a place in which you have to stay single throughout the month of April to participate properly? Well, yes, for me, yes, I agree.

I can't speak for him. I don't know what he does or things. But for me, absolutely. If I have a girl by then, I'm probably not going to be the, you know, too flirtatious. You could still host. I will host for sure. without a doubt. Okay. Well, you did tell us about your type and what kind of dates you like to do with girls at first on our in-depth podcast, which is recorded in December. So if you guys really want to get

to know, Andrew, you can go back and listen to that podcast. But Andrew, I want to know for all the ladies out there who are booking their tickets right now, what kind of first and how should they make the best first impression with you when they have just a few moments on stage? I just think just be fun and buy into the process and just like I'll just enjoy the time not everyone gets to come down to Scottsdale and and be a bachelorette so at this point like you get to really shoot your shot at being what you see on TV and get the full experience uphand up and close with you know good people around like Becca myself and and Rodney it's going to be really fun yeah yeah but how do they woo you on stage how do we how do you know it's your eyes honestly I need someone to make me

laugh a little bit. Obviously, you know, it's going to be, like I said, it's hot or near a pool. I mean, it's going to be kind of sexy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are we doing this outside or something? Is this not on stage? Oh, yeah. This is, let me real. This is paradise. It's paradise to the pool. So we have a massive outdoor stage. It's right next to the resort. There's beautiful mountains all around. You're overlooking the pool and hot tubs and there's a bar. And, and, And so that's why it's going to be this time around. It's going to be so different than when we were on the cross country tour because we have this at stage.

And it's going to be more of like a fun, interactive party atmosphere where people can come with their friends, their family, really, whoever. And they can go and just wander and grab drinks and just like be in the midst of other bachelor's parties too. And so it's going to be much more hands on, much more like I said, a little bit sexy, a little bit elevated. Yes. So we're so good to this.

I would like to call it the Paradise Bachelor Live at the stage. Oh, I love this. This is so cool. All right, Becca, how are you going to, like, facilitate all of this? Like, how do you plan on switching things up? So I guess I would consider myself sort of like the master of ceremonies, if you will. So just like the show has a host that kind of has to keep things running and on schedule

and kind of like set the scene for. everyone. That's where I come in. So of course, like the women are there to meet Andrew, to woo him, to have these fun dates. But I'm the one who kind of creates this season in one hour, two hours of this show. So I kick it off. I kick off the night. We'll pull up girls from the audience. We do things that you'll see in the actual TV show like first. Well, you'll do like limo entrances, first impression rows. And we have many group dates throughout with rose ceremonies. There might be some hometowns in there. And a fantasy suite.

A very public fantasy suite. Very public fantasy suite, which is much like the show, I guess. So I'm very fitting. So I just kind of make sure things are running smoothly. Andrew loves to go off the cuff, like just have so much fun, which I think is so great. So she's got to reel me back in a little bit. I got to pull them in sometimes, make sure we get the show done in a couple hours so people can go party after. Okay.

this is a great vibe great vibe i'm feeling it i'm seeing it how do the girls end up on stage who do you how do you select them i get that like some one you're going to get from the meet and greet right and how are you going to get the others so we always have a table for casting so prior to every show we like to tell people to get there early if they do potentially want to come up on stage they'll meet with whoever's doing casting at that table they'll just give them obviously some of their background info they'll just have a little conversation um and then we like before every show i literally am handed a stack of 10 names a quick little bio for each woman and so i go up on stage and i just start calling these 10 plus women come on down yep come on down Cindy from ohio so i'm like

just like Andrew is like meeting these women for the first time i am too and that's what i think makes it's so fun because sometimes people give us the funniest bios or the funniest bits of information that I'm reading to the audience and I'm like, oh my God, can I say this right now? Do they want everyone to know this? Like they probably didn't think everyone at this resort was going to hear when I'm describing them. But it like makes it just so fun, kind of like, you know, fly by the seat of your pants type feel. Yeah. Andrew, I feel like I saw a little preview of these events to come at Audrey's when we had like

six, seven hours total of you and Justin being fawned over by hundreds of women. And we talked about it on the other podcast in December, but you got some underwear thrown at you. Somebody left you a little treat. That was actually crazy. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yes. You got roses with numbers attached to it and all that. So my question is, how much pressure do you feel?

feel, are you going to feel when you select your final rows at the end of the night to, like, date her in the real world? A lot of it is, you get a lot of crowd help. So I love to, like, be, like, get help from the crowd. Like, what do you guys think about this or, you know, just be in tune with them? I think that makes it so much better because you know how on the show, people have a lot to say off the camera. But right here, when everyone's there in the venue, you can hear exactly what they're

saying and who they want to, for us. to pick. So I take a lot of that in account for who I pick. Like, that's what I did a bachelor live on stage. I think I'm going to use the same method because it worked so well. So yeah, but I mean, I don't know if someone gets to look too crazy. Well, yeah, that's how you're going to pick the girl, but like once you pick her, do you feel like you're going to have pressure to date her for real? Oh, no, no, no. All those girls are like pressing refund on their tickets now. They're like, Oh, so it's just for show. It's going to take a lot.

When we were on tour last year, there were definitely some women in some cities where some of the bachelors were like, oh, I want her number. I'm intrigued. And, you know, they could choose to do what they wanted at that point. But what I think is the most fun about these shows is like there's no pressure. So like we've had mothers up on stage. We've had women who are married up on our stage. we've had grandmothers up on our stage. Yeah, anybody.

Yeah, and it's just the time to make them feel like they're actually part of this show. You know, for so long, you know, these, like, beautiful, stunning single people who are there to date the leads each season. But this is really allowing people to be part of this franchise that they've loved and watched for so long. And so it's so lighthearted. It's like, if Andrew's into someone, he can totally go that route. But if there's, like, a fun grandma on stage who the audience is loving, who were like she deserves to win this final gift package and this final rose like pick her it's it's

kind of you know every show is so different yeah i had a different type of person who won my every single show that i did so it was never like the same person who wins it's always different you're seasoned on this you did a couple during the original tour right where you're at the bachelor and then the after mine was over i kept like going on he kept crashing we couldn't get rid of him he wanted to be the bachelor the entire time. No, no, no, no, no, no. Yes, yes, yes, yes. You should have been The Bachelor. Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this. Attention passengers.

amazing be a part of my new chapter and listen to the new season of the overcomper podcast as part of the mycultura podcast network on the iHeart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast okay i'm going to talk about some personal things with you guys what's going on your lives besides bachelor live on stage becca wedding planning you bought a dress? You said yes to the dress. Was that all the most fun experience of your life that you wish you could do every day? It was so fun, but so surreal. It's like, I think everyone grows up, well, not everyone, but like I grew up playing dress-up all the time and just having so much fun being these like different characters and these different dresses, kind of like also on

the season, you could dress up in these beautiful gown, cocktail dresses. And this was unlike any of that. Like the second I put on the first white dress, even though I knew it was not the one, I was like, oh my gosh, like I'm dress shopping to be a bride. Like I'm too young to do this. I was so crazy feeling. I was like in high school right now. But it was so magical. And I was lucky enough to have three of my best friends there with me. And then my mom and sister zoomed in from the Midwest. So they were able to be part of it. And I think the most special part finding the one when I knew it was the one like I just felt like a bride like it was the first dress where I was like I want Thomas to see me in this and I feel like he's going to cry yeah yeah I was

like I better get tears from him but it was the one and only dress that my mom cried over and she's like this like you are like my bride becca like this is this was for you and so it was that was a really special moment oh that's so sweet how many try on did you have like how many places you go how many dresses do you feel like you put on that well that was the one and only shop i went to no way you could have dragged out that so much longer just milked it you know but that's the thing i don't like dragging stuff out i'm like if i'm on a mission i want to and i also hate trying on clothes like if i'm ever shopping i never try anything on i actually do that too i was like oh do you want to try it nah i don't just buy it and so obviously um well i mean you know wedding dresses

are very expensive, so I can't just not try it on and take it home. But yeah, it was just one stop. I probably tried on like 20, 25 dresses. Oh, that's a lot for one stop. Yeah, they luckily reserved for the whole day for me, which I was like, how do you do it be in two hours. But I ended up going with the dress that I never thought I would wear. Usually, like, it's not like anything I've ever been styled in before. It's very unique. And it was, it was one that I didn't even try on initially like I went through the whole store again just like pull and it was like hiding in the back corner and so yeah that was the one wow that's so cool so it was a different style than you ever considered yes yeah and luckily and that's what people on instagram kept saying they're like

try on other styles things that you wouldn't normally go for or like and so I did that with another dress that when I finally put that one on I was like oh wow this is so different but it kind of like led me to get into like this happy medium of what I thought I wanted and what I didn't want and it's like kind of in the middle there. Okay, cool, cool. So you and Thomas had an untraditional engagement where you got down on one knee first, but then he did reciprocate. Do you feel like you're going to have any non-traditional stuff when it comes to the wedding? Like is he going to see you in the wedding dress before the day? Anything interesting like that? Well, that's a great question. So I'm going to have anyone thought about um well we're just not very traditional to begin with so i think overall like the

way our wedding is going to be is just it's going to look different we we are going to just elope and have like our very immediate family for the ceremony and just keep that really small and private and then for the reception we're going to just push that out a couple months and do it a bit later um but we want that to just be a massive party and so we're not going to do the traditional sit down dinner people won't have proper place settings. It's going to just be one big party. So we really want it to be like a fun theme, like a roaring 20s, Gatsby-esque type theme where people can kind of dress up and play characters. We are also very into true crime. And we love playing clue. So we're going to we're going to try to do like a real life clue in the middle of this where if people guess who like the

murderer is, they can get access to a speakeasy that we're going to. going to have. So just like fun little twists and turns like that throughout. That's really fun. So is the dress for the party or for the ceremony? The dress is for the ceremony. So yeah, I haven't even thought about what to do yet for the reception. You can go wedding shopping again. You can go wedding shopping again. Yeah. I was talking to a dress designer in New York who's wonderful and she started just creating some sketches. So I have not been out there to meet her to see anything in person. So I'm hoping that'll come in the next a few months once the tour dies down. But yeah, I'm like, I'm also not a planner. So I'm like, oh, whenever it happens, it happens. So if you have any wedding planning tips, please let me know.

Oh, I have all the tips. I love to give the tips. So you let me know what you want to specifically know. I will call you this and be like, tell me everything. Okay. I'd be so excited to do that. you guys you know are you you seem like you're kind of on both sorry it sounds like you and Thomas are on the same wavelength when it comes to planning

have there been any disagreements that are worth noting in terms of the wedding no in terms of what else I love all give me the team well let me tell you about our home renovations no we've like for the most part for this wedding we're both

So, like, pretty easy, breezy laid back that we've been aligned on most things. And we'll just kind of, like, come up with different fun ideas. And I'm like, oh, what about this? What do you think of this? And he's always like, yeah, I love that. Let's do it. So I told him, I was like, if there's anything you really, really want or to incorporate or do not want, just let me know.

And I'll make sure of that. But, yeah, no fights around that whatsoever. It's been knock on wood on this table. I hope it just stays like that. It's sailing for the wedding. That's basically how it was for us. Wedding, easiest thing. Greed on everything.

Decorating the house? Not so much. But hey, it's all good. The draper. It's always the train. Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this. Attention passengers. The pilot is having an emergency.

And we need someone, anyone, to land this plane. Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control. And they're saying like, okay, pull this, until this. It's just, I can do it my eyes close. I'm Manny. I'm Noah. This is Devon.

And on our new show, no such thing. We get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence. Those who lack expertise lack the expertise they need to recognize that they lack expertise. And then, as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what?

Tell you how to manage your money again. Welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the hard part when you pay down those credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem a year from now. When you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan, starting with your local credit union, shopping around online,

looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets. I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt and it weighs on you. It's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand. It's nice and dark in the sand.

Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it. And in fact, it may get even worse. For more judgment-free money advice, listen to Brown Ambition on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. My name is Ed. Everyone say hello, Ed. Hello, Ed.

From a very rural background myself, 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. Well, 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house.

So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage. Available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, Andrew, let's talk about your dating life a little bit. You recently posted a TikTok about your date. Can you please elaborate on this? Do we just have to be so worried for the girls that you date that like all the beans are going to be spilled?

Yeah, apparently. I mean, no, I'm very protective of that. I have been talking to someone for a while now since your show, actually. still the same girl I've been talking to What? So. Yeah.

You know, we live in different areas. We're just, you know, going on a nice pace. Huh? A New York girl? Yeah.

Yeah. Oh my God. I had this juice out of you after this. Give me the dirt. Oh, my God. But no, she's cool. You know,

I took her to a next game. She took me to a next game as well. That's serious. Because you guys could have been spotted and been on the jumbotron and then had the kiss cam come on. I don't know. TMZ. I'm just not that cool.

I mean, I just, you know, just going out of dates and having fun and not really putting too much pressure. I feel like that's my problem when I didn't end up the show. I always was just like, all right, I'm going to do this, this, this. I'm married. You know what I mean? I'm going to propose. So now I'm just like taking it at a day at a time and, you know, still like, you know,

He's going to have so much fun dating in Scott Still when we do Bachelor Live. So much fun dating there with all the Bachelorettes. Yeah, can't wait. Do you get nervous for, like, impressing those girls when you're on stage? Do you feel like you are on stage and you have to perform your best? Or is it just more of, like, I'm not nervous? It's just a fun time.

See, that's what, like, I'm so. good at not being nervous when uh i like i treat everything like when i'm talking to like a girl as a friend so that's kind of how i'm doing i'm just like we're just friends and we're just maybe throw out a couple flirtatious jokes there and there but when i'm like that i'm like i'm smooth sailing it's just as soon as i start um i start liking a girl's like oh my god i kind of like like this girl then i start getting awkward and weird and like you're not smooth so i'm like talking to a girl like just like a friend i'm super smooth and if i want to throw out a flirt joke I'm hitting like a hundred percent but if I like if I'm like dang I like her I want to be

very weird and awkward and you're gonna know that's what I used to do I used to like that actually was a time on your um on last time I was like wait what city uh it was the last one of the last show oh my god I remember and you wanted her number I did I did get her number yeah we had her for the one scene, am I not allowed to talk about this? Of course. Oh, we're the one scene where I, um, it was like, they're going in for the kiss. The notebook. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was going in. I was really going for the kiss. And you told me not to stop you. But you did. You stopped it. You were being too damn slow. You had to go a little bit fast. That was what it was. We had to do a show in two hours. And then she like, like, oh, you cut off a stage

kiss. But no, no, no, she didn't need. The other girl didn't know. It was just, it was really had time this is on Andrew okay all right I'm assuming you were going really slow if she cut it off and she probably thought that she was saving you wait the other girl yeah I think the other girl was kind of like oh my she was like frantic so I was like oh maybe this is a bad idea before every well before every show but like during every show during intermission we would chit chat and it'd be like okay is there anyone who you really like yeah because I'll pick them for certain scenes for this like movie date and so for the ones you would really like i'd be like okay i'll save her for the notebook and if you want to like slide in slide in there you know get get that smooch but you were just too

slow yeah there's only one i really would like what it was that last one the other other girls are just really nice god whoever this is if you're listening to this please one of our scott's still show oh i told i thought the number so like if he really wanted to date her a little bit but kind of fell through i'm gonna give me your number and i'll text and get her on stage again i'll make this could happen he's like no that ship has sailed uh okay my final question for you then andrew so you said that like you get super nervous and awkward when you actually like a girl but around friends who you're just like kind of playfully talking with it's super easy easy i used to be exactly like that so i would have like a whole bunch of guy friends just like always fall in

love with you because you're like your most playful flirty self with that friends and then like The signs wrong. I was like, oh, my God. No, I'm just practicing with you, basically. Unintentionary practicing. Yeah. No, that happens a lot. I know because, like, I always want, like, my girl to be, like, a good friend of mine. So it's almost like, all right, well, we're friends, but. And then, like, you start, that switch happens.

And next year, you know, you're like, I like, I like her. And then everyone's like, why are you being so weird? Like, I don't know. I know. That was the German Andrew. And I started to get to know. Yeah. Oh, I feel you.

That's my problem for sure. All right. Well, guys, thank you so much for joining us today. So sorry that Rodney couldn't be here. We've never had Rodney on the podcast. So that's something we're going to, or like we did, but like back in the day before he was, you know, really in the running to be the Bachelor. But if you guys want to, if you've wanted to see Andrew and Rodney be in that Bachelor position, It is now time that you can experience it at talking stickresort.com.

So you go, that's where you go to get tickets. And then Becca will be your best galfriend, gal-frey, gal-pal, girlfriend throughout the process. So guys, I hope you have a fun April. And maybe we'll talk to you afterward after Andrew finds love on stage. We're all invited to the wedding. Okay. Thank you. Sorry for my total.

lack of brain today. Oh, you're good. That sweatshirt is fired. Thank you. It was top shop like a Disney line. We love it. Thanks. I get so many compliments on this and I'm like it's years old. It's always crew necks. You can never

go wrong with a crew neck. That's so true. I much prefer a crew neck sweatshirt than a hoodie. I do too. You throw anything on the front? It doesn't even matter. I know. But then you've got your hoodie on right now. All right. You guys. Bye. Yeah.
