Or wherever you get your podcast This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast with IHartRadio It's time for Bachelor headlines We got a week of headlines And they're pretty Joey focused Or I guess Bachelor focused obviously that's the season going on and you're obviously we're breaking down each episode and now as

the season progresses it always feels like more storylines come out from the season because contestants get back they get on social media they start to reach out to the public they start to respond to interviews and all those things and so a lot of these are bachelor focus but we have some that aren't so let's start with this one joey says that maria is misunderstood on the bachelor this according to us weekly. Actually, I just want to, before you break it down for us, I want to just say it's an interesting headline because I don't know if I would say at any point, Maria has been misunderstood to me.

Like, I've liked her the whole time. I think the fan base has liked her the whole time. She does wear her heart in her sleeve. She says things that are a little bit, like, more poignant than most. But I have, I guess I'm not aware of Maria getting much. much hate from the viewership. I think what he's referring to in this interview is in the house, her being misunderstood in the house.

So he says, I don't have any idea what happened. You guys are seeing as much as I'm seeing because every conversation that I've had with them was one-on-one, all the girls. I didn't get to see the group settings. I think that Maria sometimes can be misunderstood. I get that she explained that herself.

She said just a little rough around the edges. and was surprised that she didn't get along with a lot of the women in the house. And that's kind of like all he said about it. He just like also said that he's just trying to focus on the strong connections that he has. And the reason that Maria ends up staying is like he just has this connection at his building. He wanted to see it through. So he says it's kind of hard to speak on that stuff because he wasn't around to see it all. and America still hasn't seen it all

but yeah so it's kind of like a little bit vague whether or not he's referring to like everybody or just the girls in the house but I think I think it's the girls in the house and I think that he's just saying like she just has a different way of expressing herself

I think she's just a little more forward than and like he says a refer on the at the edges than some girls may want in like an environment that's already like got high stakes yeah It kind of goes back to our maybe theory on what was happening.

There's a few girls who did not appreciate her personality. And there's a lot of girls that liked her personality. But those few girls were like really thrown off by it because of her communication style and just her way of going about this process. And I think that's completely fair. Not, you know, not everybody's everybody's cup of tea. We know that. Next headline is this. Bachelor Joey addresses speculation about his eyes.

the the like quote is there is something behind that this according to us weekly as well i have no clue what this is talking about ashley please fill me in well i know there's tictox going on about the fact that like one he has beautiful eyes of course but two and that sometimes it can be like a little yellow and jaundice looking because people overanalyze everything on the internet uh he says though in reference to him maybe having an disclosed health issue the eyes thing i actually am probably going to post a little video a little bit more about that later and give some more insight there is something behind that and i'll use that space to be able to talk it through so there you go maybe he does have a little bit of a yellow tinted

i okay so there like he's aware like this isn't you know remember a few years ago there was a guy on TV. I believe he was on HGTV. And on an episode, somebody saw a lump in his throat. And that's how he found out he had cancer. Like a viewer wrote in and it was like, hey, you should get that checked out. Yeah. Like this is aware. He's aware. Like this isn't a shock to him. Apparently sounds like it. Okay. Good. Matt James teases special proposal for Rachel in the future. And the quote is, I'm definitely excited. This according to Bachelor Nation. I know. Isn't this exciting? It's going to be and other confirmed bachelor couple. This week, Matt opened up two people magazine saying that, well, the two, of course,

didn't get engaged on The Bachelor. He does plan to propose in the future. We wouldn't be together still if that wasn't, if we weren't having that same goal. I'm definitely excited for what the future looks like for us. And that's really all we have. He said that, like, it's going to be something special, of course, because Rachel's very special. and it's going to be more than the two of them just getting engaged on the couch.

That's a, it is sweet. I do like the second proposal. I like seeing the first on TV, but I do enjoy kind of the Jojo Jordan, you know, process of then going back and doing it again, you know, once you've had some time to really kind of prove out your relationship. I find it special. I think it's nice. I agree.

I really like that. It's kind of like renewing the vows in a lot of ways. You know, okay. Well, Mari and Kenny, this headline's about them. Mario reveals if her and Kenny fight and her favorite and least favorite thing about him. She says that we're very chill. We barely fight. We might disagree on little things here or there, but discuss and move forward.

Nothing ever really escalates into an argument or a fight. And then somebody also asked if they're 15-year-aged. difference is hard in the relationship. She said not at all. Um, but her favorite and least favorite thing about him goes like this. Favorite thing? When he appeases my constant requests for kisses and sitting on his lap and being carried even when I'm doing it just to annoy him. That is very cute. She also said that he's the best doggy daddy. And then her least favorite thing is that he still leaves the seat up every single time, constantly just up perpetually. It's just hard to train yourself not to do.

Jared never leaves the seat up. He sits down. He just always sits down. I don't think he puts the seat up though. Oh, that could be even worse. Right? No, it's fine. Well, he never leaves P spots.

He's got good aim, apparently. He's got a good aim. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Oh, wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend should. just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon.

This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating.

He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Imagine that you're on an airplane, and all of a sudden you hear this. Attention passengers, the pilot is having an emergency, and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane. Think you could do it?

It turns out that nearly first. 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control. And they're saying like, okay, pull this, until this. Pull that. Turn this. It's just, I can do it my eyes close. I'm Manny. I'm Noah.

This is Devon. And on our new show, no such thing. We get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence. Those who lack expertise lack the expertise they need to recognize that they lack expertise. And then as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what? Oh, that's the run right.

I'm looking at this thing. Listen to no such thing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, my name is Enya Umanzor. And I'm Drew Phillips.

Hey, sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance, bro? Tell you how to manage your money again. Welcome to Brown Ambition.

This is the hard part when you pay down those credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you... you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem a year from now. When you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan, starting with your local credit union, shopping around online, looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets. I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt when it weighs

on you. It's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand. It's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it. And in fact, it may get even worse. For more judgment-free money advice, listen to Brown Ambition on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Colton Underwood opens up about fertility struggles, and he says, I quite literally had no sperm. Yeah. So I was just watching this. this real because he's doing kind of like a series on the two of you know him and his husband Jordan becoming parents I think it's I think we're gonna I mean maybe I'm I shouldn't be jumping

the gun but I do think that they're in the process of perhaps like having a surrogate pregnant because I think that they they've already gone through this um you know the frozen embryo process and all this but in it and they said that they're going through testing with their surrogate it's a long road he says when you know it comes to having a gay couple and one of the challenges along the way was that his husband gets his sperm results back and he had incredible great numbers and then he goes my sperm was dead and he's like what does this mean um does this mean I can't have kids now, but the doctor came back. And he was like, okay, this is a lot of the reasoning behind it. He's like, do you take hot baths? Do you take hot saunas? Do you work out more than five times a week? Do you take synthetic testosterone? And he was like, yes to all of it. And he's like, well, that's what it is. And he goes, so go ahead over the next three months. stop those things, and then we'll go get retested.

And then he said, by six months, he got to the point where he was good to go, had good sperm to freeze. That's kind of part of his new project, right? It's his podcast. He's going through this. Daddyhood, I think is kind of what he's calling it. Podcast, yeah. He's elaborating, kind of giving us details into their experience and his experience

trying to, you know, have a baby. well eliza reveals eliza's from bachelor in paradise and the bachelor reveals her boyfriend's name and shares pda filled photos me and you is the caption so we know that a couple months ago eliza was engaged to aaron from bachelor paradise she never posted a picture on her main feed on instagram of aaron but here she is with her boyfriend frido frito's from berlin and it's where eliza has been living actually mostly full time since 2019 and they just posted on Instagram two of them holding hands kissing smiling walking through the streets of Europe and then like of course she's got her bachelor supporters in the comments um her friend Olivia and Rachel from Bachelor in

Paradise being like screaming crying mom and dad coordinating outfits so cute so everybody's really happy that she's in this this new relationship and she obviously feels more confident it in it than she ever did with Aaron. Yeah. I'm still waiting to get the details of, like, a little bit more insight into what happened to all these couples. Maybe we should get Aaron on the pod. I think Aaron will be honest.

Also, if you haven't listened to our interview with Brayden and Christina, it is interesting because Braden kind of just like at one point in the interview slips up and says, well, there might be a couple that are trying it again. Not them. Not them, obviously. Um, not them. Well, one of my favorite humans on the face of the earth, Sydney Latwako, and her husband, Nick, reveal the gender of their first baby. And the, well, the caption says, love this for us. It's a girl. And they posted like two different things on Instagram. It was really cute. One, it was like their reaction to getting, like finding out what it was. And then there was a separate one that was like the reveal. and then the reveal one has their adorable English bulldog

walking out with a pink harness, carrying pink balloons. It's going to be a girl. It was a really cute video, so you can go check it out on her Instagram. Yeah, it's super special. Well, final headline of today, more baby news.

Kayla Quinn reveals she's expecting baby number two with husband Nick. It says find out the gender here in the headline. Yeah, it seems as if she revealed the fact that they're having a baby and the gender all in one post. So she said that they were, they got in the email about the gender just as they were getting into Disney World. So what they did on Parker,

it was definitely somewhere on Disney grounds, they had a cute blue and pinky, pink Mickey mini balloon and somebody had given them the one to hold behind their back the blue or the pink and then said okay look at it and it was the blue balloon that was there and Kayla looks ecstatic to be the mother of a boy so we're really happy for them and i do believe that it was not just their gender reveal here but the first time that she posted about just having a second baby cute cute reveal um i can't i can't help but say that like jared and i thought about doing this for our reveal too glad we didn't

that would have been very strange that we both had the same one and I like the way ours turned out and I think theirs is perfect too. Well, you know what? Let Kayla have this moment at Disney World. She can have this one. That's fine.
