| 0:09.1 | Hi, everybody. |
| 0:10.8 | Welcome back to the Almost Famous OG podcast. |
| 0:13.4 | It's Trista and Bob, who, you know, finally is here. |
| 0:17.5 | We've been waiting for a long time. |
| 0:19.3 | So sorry. |
| 0:20.5 | So sorry about that. It's fine. I was |
| 0:23.6 | just doing work, which is what I can do at any moment of any day. Anyway, and we are so excited |
| 0:30.0 | because we're going to recap the first episode of season two of the Golden Bachelor, one of my |
| 0:35.8 | favorites. And then with Mel Owens, obviously he's been in the news since he did that podcast. |
| 0:44.0 | And there was talk about him maybe not doing it. |
| 0:47.6 | So I'm glad it's still going. |
| 0:49.1 | And I thought the episode was awesome. |

And so I guess in turn, you know, But whatever it was, he owned it and it's over, right? |
| 1:45.6 | I think he squashed it. |
| 1:46.6 | It's over. |
| 1:46.9 | I hope it's over. |
| 1:47.9 | I hope so. Yeah, I don't want them to rehash it every single week. But yes, I'm done with it. He went into the mansion and said, I am so sorry for my comments. Yeah. There's no age or number to spirit and all of that. |
