Welcome back everyone! Been a few months since we’ve last spoken on here, but A LOT has happened since then in my online world, so if you haven’t been following, let me update you on that. First off, all my Daily Roundup podcasts are now transcribe on this site every day. Since I haven’t really posted on here since Joey’s finale, they’ve been the only thing you see on here. But with recaps on Tuesdays, Reader Email Wednesdays, your transcripts will appear at the back end of each of those columns, so be on the lookout for that. In addition, I have started up my YouTube Channel again. It’d been 7 years since I posted on YouTube but now I’m back with a weekly Sunday night livestream at 8pm EST/5pm PST. And there will be an occasional live mid week if I have any announcement to make or late breaking story in the franchise. I figured it was about time to join everyone else in the year 2024 and get on the video side as well.
Also, one major new addition to YouTube will becoming next Thursday. That is my 400th weekly podcast. And for the previous 399 on them, you could only listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to your podcasts. Starting next Thursday with #400, all my weekly podcast will ALSO now be on video on my YouTube Channel. And #400 will be a 90 minute conversation with Clayton Echard that I recorded last Friday. It’s Clayton like you’ve never heard him before. No, we don’t spend 90 minutes on his Laura Owens case. In fact, that’s maybe only the first 30 minutes of the interview. I wanted to go a little deeper and dive into his mental health through all of this along with everything that went down on his season of the Bachelor. Remember, this is the first time I’ve spoken to him on the podcast, so there was a lot I wanted to talk to him about. It’s really a side to him that I don’t think anybody has seen yet. I can’t wait for you all to see it because I think you’ll have a better understanding of what he’s been through for the last couple of years.
Here’s the YouTube video of Sunday nights livestream. Go check it out and subscribe.
Well it’s that time again with the new season underway. Reader Email Wednesdays! Weeeeeeeee!!!!!!! And right now, I have a whopping zero emails for tomorrow, so, send any questions/queries/comments in to steve@realitysteve.com or hit me up on IG and get your questions in for tomorrow’s column. Hopefully we can get at least 10 or so to warrant some sort of column tomorrow ha ha.
Some Golden Bachelorette news for you. Joan is about 2.5 weeks into filming her season. I believe she has another 2.5-3 weeks left from what I was told. Anyway, we only have pics from one date so far this season, and that was her first 1-on-1 date at Disneyland. Well, that man has now been identified and I posted about it yesterday.

From what I’ve been told about Chock Chapple is that he was divorced, has kids with his ex wife, and was engaged to someone else for a couple years up until last year when she unexpectedly died of brain cancer. Sooooo, check, check, and check. The backstory this show absolutely loves. I’m guessing we can count on Chock to last a while on Joan’s season.
