You are listening to the Daily Roundup here as part of the Reality Steve podcast. I’m your host, Reality Steve. Thank you all for tuning in on this Friday. As we head into the weekend, a good show for you. I’m going to recap a little bit of the Clayton Eckert interview from yesterday, another Golden Bachelorette hometown date that I finally posted yesterday.
Got to talk about claim to fame from Wednesday night. And we do have a little bit of big brother to go over night two of their premiere. Oh boy, boy. Talk about a repeat of the first episode. Sheesh. And there is some news in the Laura Owens, Clayton Eckerd case case. You didn’t see, we’ll get to all that momentarily.

I want to thank everybody who followed along on as. The live stream was going, even though it was pre recorded once I post it, it acts as a live stream.
So you can go in and comment as you are watching it. And as it is going live for what it was an hour and 35 minutes, something like that. And then everybody that left a comment they were all very positive. Thank you for that. I really appreciate it. One negative comment that somebody brought up was the ads that run during it.
That is something that I need to work on because this is the first pre recorded video that I’ve done on my YouTube since I started it back up. Everything else was, you know, my Sunday night lives or I did a live on that Wednesday night going over Jen’s first season promo. This is the first pre recorded one, so it has ads in it, but I don’t really know how it works.
One solution is just sign up for YouTube premium. I mean, you’ll never see another ad watching another YouTube video the rest of your life. If you show up, if you sign up for YouTube premium, because when I was watching it back, I didn’t see any ads and I realized, oh yeah, that’s right. I have YouTube premium.
So that’s something, if you can’t afford 11 a month, or I think maybe it’s 12 a month, I think then I will make it. Somebody told me in the comments, it said it was like ads every seven minutes. I hope that was an exaggeration. Sheesh, every seven minutes people were getting ads on that thing? For an hour and for an hour and a half, that’s too much.
I will, I will do what I can. I just don’t know how to control the ads on YouTube yet, but I’ll ask Dave Neil about that or anybody else that does YouTube videos, I’ll get an answer to that and hopefully you can minimize it. Or I’m going to run ads on those videos every week on the Thursday. Weekly podcast.
I just don’t know how many and if you can set it to a certain amount or you can set it to Where you feel you want the ads to go because as I said when I watched the video, I don’t see any ads so I don’t know if it’s like cutting people off in the Cutting me off in the middle of a question or cutting Clayton off in the middle of an answer or it knows to put it In when there’s a pause, I’m not sure but I will get that ironed out But again, thank you for all of you who tuned in if you didn’t It’s on my YouTube page.
Just go to YouTube reality. Steve, you’ll see the video episode number 400. And every Thursday from here on out, you’re going to see that video. My weekly podcast, not only will be in audio form on Apple podcasts and Spotify, but also in YouTube on my YouTube page. And you can go chime in. You can listen to it when it goes live, probably going to set it for nine 15 on Eastern time on Thursday mornings.
That’s the plan. Maybe sometimes it’ll be nine 30 Eastern, but. More than likely 9 15 Eastern time. And then. By all means, click the like button, leave comments. Every once in a while, I’ll be able to chime in and respond to people who might say something, but really appreciate the response to yesterday’s podcast.
Even got some national run with people. com quoting Clayton from the podcast and saying it was from the reality podcast, so that was good to see. I appreciate that from people. Maybe other outlets will do it now, but I don’t think I exaggerated a bit. Cause you know, I listened to it again for probably the second time all the way through.
And really just enjoyed his answers and really appreciated the fact that he was open and honest about not only the Laura Owen situation, but him being the bachelor, how tough it was for him, how tough the relationship was to navigate with Susie after the fact, just, I knew you were going to see a side to him that he hadn’t seen yet.
And I, he gave answers in that interview that I just don’t think he’s given in the, what, three years since he was the bachelor. So. I always say it. I’ll say it till the end of time. As long as I have this podcast, everyone’s got a story. And I think Clayton’s is really interesting. And I think you can see that the way things were edited, he took full responsibility for what he did, but he also was like, Hey, here’s what was going through my head at the time.
This is why I made the decisions that I did. So again, check it out. If you haven’t seen it, check it out. Listen to it on Apple podcast or Spotify, or go check it out on YouTube yesterday. I also added the fact that remember I told you in yesterday’s podcast, Hey, I got an email about Joan having another hometown in Chicago because we know she had a hometown on Tuesday in Chicago with Pascal Ibgui.
Well, then I got a picture of her at the Chicago river walk. And for whatever, I just assumed it was Pascal. Cause I was like, this is kind of weird. She’s having back to back hometown dates in the same city with the same guy, which just doesn’t happen. We know how hometown dates work. It’s hometown date, travel the next day, hometown date, travel, hometown date, travel.
Well, she had back to back days in Chicago, but then somebody, and it just so happened. I really lucked out on this one because somebody that knew Pascal, I sent them the picture and said. I think it’s weird that she’s having back to back dates with Pascal on Tuesday and Wednesday and this person was like, no, that’s not Pascal.
But I do know who that person is and I’m like, really? And they have some sort of, it goes back like years, but they immediately recognized him. I’m like, Oh, his name is Jordan Heller. He’s 61 years old, lives in Chicago. The picture I posted on my Twitter and on my Instagram story was of them at the River Walk in Chicago on Wednesday.
And looking at Jordan’s LinkedIn, it’s pretty generic, senior business sales executive for B2B sales strategist, attended the University of Iowa. Aqua Phoenix scientific is who he works for now. I guess I have no idea what that is. That was him, Jordan Heller. So the three guys that we know have had hometown dates Sunday, which was chalk chapel in Wichita, Kansas, Tuesday was with Pascal Igwe and Wednesday was with Jordan Heller.
Don’t know if the. Golden Bachelorette is giving Joan a fourth hometown date. Gary only got three hometown dates, so maybe they are done with hometown dates and technically tonight, if she only gets three hometown dates, tonight would be the rose ceremony. And she would be eliminating one of these guys.
And then the final two are headed to wherever they’re headed to. This should be wrapping up in about a week and we’ll see what happens from here. But one thing that I think we can rule out now. Is Mark Anderson getting a hometown date? I don’t think he got it before Sundays and he’s not going to get it after Wednesdays with Jordan Heller because someone sent me a screenshot from one of the Anderson, Mark Anderson’s son’s Instagram story yesterday and Mark was in it.
So clearly He wouldn’t be able to be in his son’s Instagram story if he was still on the show. So it looks like he was eliminated before hometown dates. So Kelsey Anderson’s dad is no longer on the golden bachelorette and competing for Jones. So keep that in mind. It’s either those three guys, Pascal chalk and Jordan as her final three, or she’s got a fourth one.
We won’t know until a little bit later on, and I’ll keep you updated on anything that I hear. Again, this podcast brought to you by Tropical Smoothie Cafe.
