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. A good show for you heading into the weekend. A little bit more about what’s going on with Apple. We’re gonna talk a little bit more about Age of Attraction.
I have finished the first five episodes and I’m growing a little bit tired of this show already. I’ll tell you why. We’re gonna discuss today coming up on my YouTube channel. Also love Trapped episode four of the Clayton Necker. Laura Owens case dropped yesterday. Discuss that a little bit. Also, I’ve got a thought on love overboard, the Alex Cooper show based on something that I saw yesterday.
So let’s get started. I first wanna say this, it’s getting kind of frustrating and I understand a lot of you. I see the downloads, you listen to me every day. It’s just frustrating that I can’t give you any answers as to why. I can’t, I shouldn’t say answers any solutions as to why some of you are getting it in your Apple Podcast feed and some of you aren’t.
The other problem is, as I’m literally speaking these words, if you only have Apple Podcasts, you’re not even hearing me say this. So inevitably you’re gonna email me saying, Hey, it didn’t show up in my Apple Podcast feed. So yeah, it’s just, I don’t know what to do. I guess this message is for people that have switched over to Spotify until Apple gets their shit together and is hearing this, just know I don’t have any solutions for you.
All I can tell you is yesterday what I did was I went into my podcast feed. I went to my own podcast because yesterday’s episodes weren’t showing up either. Wednesdays and Thursdays were still not showing up in my feed. I unfollowed my podcast. I refollowed my podcast and both of them popped up within two seconds, so try that.
Some people emailed me yesterday. I told ’em to do that. They said, thank you, it worked. Some people emailed me yesterday. I told ’em to do that, and they said it’s still not working. I, I, I throw my hands up at this point. This is an Apple thing. This has nothing to do with what type of phone you have. This has nothing to do with your internet carrier, nothing.
This is Apple. If you Google, why are podcasts that I’m subscribed to, not showing episodes, it’ll tell you. It’s something with the RSS feed the caching on it. I don’t really technically understand that stuff but I know this happens on occasion. It usually gets corrected within a few days. I think even if you Google it, it says 24 to 48 hours.
Hopefully this won’t last much longer, but I’m just telling you, there’s nothing I can do on my end. I just upload my podcast and hopefully Apple will get their shit together and it’ll start appearing in your Apple Podcast suite because 85% of you listen on Apple Podcasts, or maybe it’s 80% and then it’s 10% on Spotify.
So, yeah, I’ve lost downloads the last two days because people who listen on Apple don’t have access to Spotify. So I get it. It sucks. Sucks for me. It sucks for everybody involved. The problem is I have no solutions other than what I told you to do. Just unfollow and then re fllow, and hopefully that works for you.
It worked for me, it worked for others, but I know it doesn’t work for everybody. And that’s an Apple thing. I’m gonna talk more right now about Age of Attraction. I’ve watched the first five episodes. If you don’t want to know what happens in the first five episodes of Age of Attraction, I would suggest fast forwarding through this ’cause I am gonna talk about spoilers and I, I think the thing here, the thing that’s frustrating about this show is.
It’s an utterly ridiculous concept. When we talk about love is blind. I’ve said that for years. Love is blind, is just so utterly ridiculous of what they’re asking these people to do. Hey, someone you’ve never seen in your life before, you need to get engaged to them and then you’re gonna see them and then you’re gonna take a honeymoon with a complete stranger and then you’re gonna move in together.
And then you have to decide at the end of six weeks, do I wanna marry this person? Like it’s just insane to think that. I wouldn’t say age of attraction is as insane as love is blind, but when you think about it, age differences in relationships happens. It happens naturally. Sometimes there’ll be 10 years, sometimes 15 years, sometimes even 20 years.
But what this show is trying to do is force it upon these people. Because they know the show is age of attraction and they’re like, okay, we wanna see is age just a number. So that’s why I am saying age difference in a relationship. It can work for sure. It doesn’t work for everybody. Maybe a 15 year age gap doesn’t work for some people, maybe a 20 year age gap doesn’t work for some people, maybe a 27 year and a 33 year age gap like we’re seeing on age of attraction.
Maybe that doesn’t work for some people, but maybe it does for others. I think in the outside world, when it has worked. A lot of it is usually Hollywood. Older man, younger woman. We see it all the time. There’s a few instances of younger women dating older men in the celebrity world, but for the most part, when it’s a giant age gap and you hear, Hey, so-and-so is 73, and he is got a 40-year-old girlfriend, it’s like, okay, that’s what you expect.
It’s Hollywood. They live a different lifestyle than any one of us, and we can’t even pretend to understand what those people live. But that’s where you see it a lot. But it does happen in everyday life and it can happen and it just happens. This show is like, Hey, we want you to fall for somebody that’s much older than you, or much younger than you.
So it’s already in your head that you kind of need it to happen. And then again, the same exact format as Love is Blind. Oh, you also have to live with this person that you literally just met. And you guys are at least on all these couples, 16 years age difference is the smallest one they have. That’s kind of a big deal.
It’s one thing to just say, Hey, these people are gonna date for eight episodes with a giant age gap. That can happen. In fact, you probably had more success if they did it that way, but that’s not what they’re telling these people. They’re like, you get however many days they were in Whistler, and then it’s like, oh yeah, by the way, now you’re moving into Vancouver and.
You have to live with this person that you barely know. It’s the same thing as love is blind. That’s what I’m saying. It’s the same ridiculous format. You’re asking way too much of these people. I have no idea what the spoilers are. For the remaining couples on age of attraction, we already know one couple bit.
The dust shocker. It was the 60-year-old in the 27-year-old. No way. Those two didn’t make it. Can’t imagine why. Even though both of them tried to say, Hey, it wasn’t age. We just didn’t communicate well. Well, do you think that maybe you didn’t communicate well was because of your age difference? Just anyway, nobody’s really surprised that Jorge and Vielle didn’t work out.
But the remaining five couples, we have seen the previews for the remaining episodes. All five of those couples show up on the final ceremony day, whatever they’re calling it, commitment ceremony, I think. And we’re gonna get our answers and we clearly see that Logan proposes to Vanessa. Which if you watched the fourth and fifth episode, you’d be like, those two are the ones that aren’t gonna make it.
Well, he proposes to her ’cause we see it in the preview. They’re not even trying to hide it. They showed it in the preview after episode one. The other thing about this that I found interesting was I can’t believe we literally almost have the same exact thing. Now I find Andrew way more likable than Alex from Love is Blind.
But Andrew and Libby are on the beach talking and he’s talking about his past and he literally said the same exact things as Alex. Soccer was a big deal. Then I got hurt. I miss it. I don’t even like to talk about that part of my life. It was a huge part of my life. It left a hole in my heart. And he even said, Christiana Ronaldo and David Beckham are like my idols.
Isn’t that exactly who Alex told Ashley his favorite soccer players were. I’m like, what? How in the world do these two shows? Literally find two guys who had a soccer career, it got derailed because of injury, and both of them are still distraught about it and literally like the same players. What the hell are Alex and Andrew related in some way?
Please tell me they are some other things about this, and this could just be the way it’s edited. Obviously all of them are living in the same apartment building, high rise apartment in Vancouver, Canada. But are they literally next door to each other? Because if you look at some of the room numbers that they’ve showed, one time they showed five 19 and one time they showed five 20, are these couples literally next door to each other with seemingly in an apartment complex?
I’m guessing that apartment complex doesn’t have soundproof walls. These people literally being able to hear some of the couples having sex, which we found out yesterday, episodes four, and I keep saying yesterday because I watched episodes four and five yesterday, but episodes four and five were literally all about sex, and they even went deeper than the old challenge used to, or kind of on the same wavelength.
I mean, we saw what was going on with John and Theresa. It wasn’t the cameras though. It was the sound like we heard them having sex and what she was saying to him during sex and what he was saying back to her during sex. She did an interview yesterday and she’s like, I had no idea the mics were on. I cannot believe my kids have to watch that.
Yeah, neither can they, I’m sure. But. This, I just don’t understand and I’ll, I’ll repeat what I said yesterday in regards to the age thing. I just don’t think an age difference is that big of a deal when they were meeting each other and going on dates and visually seeing each other. If you take the concept of age of attraction and apply it to Love is Blind, that would’ve made more sense and that would’ve been like, holy shit, I just got engaged to somebody that is 54 years old and I’m 27.
I had no idea she was 54. I thought she was 31 or whatever. Then it would’ve been like, holy crap, but these people are going out. You couldn’t tell me that. John had no clue that Theresa was in her fifties and Theresa had no clue. I mean, John looks a little bit older than he is, but she probably thought he was early thirties.
She still would’ve been 20 years older than him. Like it’s not that big of a deal, and the show is making it such a big deal. It’s driving me up a wall. And I know Natalie and Nick wanna just shove down our throats. Hey, age doesn’t matter. Look at us. Well, at the beginning of the relationship, it fucking did matter, Nick, because you started dating her when she was 19 and you purposely did not post her publicly for a whole year.
’cause you wanted to keep her hidden because you knew you would take a bunch of shit because you were dating somebody that had teen at the end of her age. Here they are just like, Hey, age is just a number. Look at us. Look at how great we are. Yeah. Look at how great your relationship is publicly, the front that you put out on podcasts and social media.
