Now here's Reality Steve.

What's up everybody, welcome to Podcast number 252. I'm your host, Reality Steve. Thank you all for tuning in.

Great show for you again this week. The Game of Roses Podcast host, Chad Colchon and Lizzie Pace are joining us for yet another appearance from the pit.

The people who run the pit, Chad and Lizzie are going to be on again. This is I think the third time on the podcast.

They've got a book coming out, you can pre-order it. We're going to get into all that stuff, talk to them momentarily.

Obviously the biggest story to break and I'm so glad that we were able to talk to, we recorded yesterday about two hours after the news broke about the next Bachelor.

I've talked about it numerous times on this podcast that I book my podcast week to week. I usually record Tuesday or Wednesday, one or two days before the podcast goes up.

Because I always feel like I'm going to miss out on something breaking and then my podcast is going to feel a little bit outdated because we're not going to be able to talk about the certain topic.

If that were to happen, I would talk about it in my open but couldn't go over it with the guest. We lucked out yesterday. Recorded about two hours after we were set to record, two hours after the news broke about the next Bachelor.

If you don't know the news just yet, last Thursday, it was reported by a couple outlets that the next Bachelor was going to be coming from Michelle's season, one of her guys.

That was the first time I heard of it. I was out of town, obviously it was in Vegas and I wrote on my Twitter. This is news to me. I hadn't heard this.

All weekend I'm trying to figure find out who it possibly could be and then yesterday, online ran with the story. They had pictures of Clay Neckard.

I don't know how we pronounce it yet. We'll find out soon enough. But he was filming in Missouri. We know that I know that the women leave next week filming for Clayton's season begins at the end of next week.

This isn't coincidental that he's shooting his intro video that says nothing to do with Michelle's season. Her season is over filming. They wouldn't be filming anything with Clayton for Michelle's season now.

Considering it doesn't even start for another airing for another month. For those thinking that, well maybe this is a switcheroo or something like that.

They're going to pull the wool out from, pull the rug out from under people and it's going to surprise us with somebody else.

No, that's not it because after the pictures came out, I saw the confirmation that I needed that this isn't some sort of switch up.

And multiple intro videos for multiple guys are being filmed and this was just one of them. Clayton's the next bachelor.

He starts filming next week. But Michelle season doesn't start airing until October 19th. So it's going to be different.

And we talk about this in the podcast today. It's definitely different. You know, when you all asked me at the end of Katie season, who I thought would be the next bachelor, who is in the running and some of you even said, do you think it's one of Michelle's guys?

And I said, I just don't see how that's possible. We wouldn't need they be giving away one of their guys. But clearly to them, that's not a big deal.
