This is the Ben and Ashley I, Almost Famous Podcasts with IHartRadio. Hey guys, welcome to a headlines edition of the Almost Famous Podcast. Filling in for Ben is Zachary Reality. We had to get this headlines in today, Tuesday, March 11th, because there are some crazy bachelor headlines out right now, including the one that really made us get on the mic. Deanna Pappas has been arrested after a showdown with her ex-husband, Stephen Stagliano. And we may not have the entire story here, but we do want to get out the facts that we have. So they seem to be going back and forth a bit.

Stephen is claiming that she is an alcoholic. first his mom was picking up their children and Austin to take him to school and she's alleging that she smelt alcohol on on Deanna's breath this is part of a narrative that that Deanna says they're trying to perpetuate she said that often she feels like he's trained their daughter Addison to kind of survey the house for alcohol. And then just this week, what happened was a physical altercation between Stephen and Indiana,

in which Stephen wanted to, this is all alleged, okay? This is all, it seems to be Deanna's side of the story. What happens is he picks up the kids, particularly think of the situation. It was their daughter, Addison. says come close to me i want to smell your breath and then she's like no she turns around heads into the garage and she hears him following her into the garage she closes the door locks

it um and then she she goes she calls the police in the midst of this he does get his hands on her pushes her against a wall and somehow once the police arrive they arrest Deanna this is why we're not really sure if we have all the facts here but Deanna was put behind bars

and got out the same day with $20,000 in bond and Deanna is trying to get a restraining order against Stephen that'll keep him 100 yards away from her.

That's what we got. That's what we got. I don't know if you're asking for my opinion. I don't know if I'm asking for opinion either because let's also add that Deanna is saying I'm not an alcoholic. He is coaching our daughter to look out for alcohol in the home, to literally sniff out alcohol and try to alienate her away from me. So this, yeah.

Yeah. So the restraining order that was. she filed was on the seventh. So we'll see there's a hearing later this month. I don't know. Should we give opinion on this? I mean, I think the main takeaway from this is that the children should not be involved or in the middle. It seems as if they are too.

Any type of like, whatever it's called, like they just should not be involved to sway or they shouldn't be aware of how bad it is between their parents because it sounds like the kids are kids. So I think that hopefully this is a wake-up call for Stephen and Deanna, who probably have been fighting for a while, that like this could be a rock bottom moment for them where they could really look at whatever they are arguing about and just be like, all right, this is the last time. It's gone way too far. Now the kids are involved. Now they're going to be more aware. So let's just try and co-parent amicably and not be near each other. Let's just not talk to each other. Let's get someone in between, maybe your mom. And I also hope that Deanna is, you know, honor. the rule of not drinking in front of the kids if that's the rule that they both agreed on. Also worth mentioning that they did settle their divorce in June of last year. We will have updates on this. Yes, we'll have updates on this soon. All right.

Next up, Baby Lion Dyke number four. Ari and Lauren are having their fourth baby. I may have known about this a little while ago that yes, his vasectomy? No, I didn't know from them. So his vasectomy reversal was obviously successful. I did know back in September that Ari got his vasectomy reversed at one of our friends' weddings. It was the talk of the place. Everybody was like, wait, you got it reverse.

Was that painful? He said it was a four-hour surgery. And it was still not a guarantee after the four-hour surgery. And we're like, after twins, you know, after it. a lessee followed by a set of twins you guys are ready to do it again and they're like you'll understand once your kids are in school because when they're in school you're home all day and you're like oh man now i miss that that phase of crazy we're like okay maybe we'll get it so very happy for them congratulations this is this was their wish well and this is also big news because

now it's they will become the most the most child full yes they will be the Bachelor nation couple with the most kids breaking the record of four which no one has ever done before Sean Lowe and Catherine are right behind them with three, Jaden Tanner as well with three

but Ari and Lauren will be breaking new barriers with their fourth childs. Good stat there. Thank you. All right. Then Katie Thurston, she's been really updating us a lot on her health journey. Of course, we know that she has breast cancer right now, but before

she undergoes the chemotherapy that she needs to do for that she is freezing her eggs and right now she is telling us all the details about that the average age the average cost of um of of freezing your eggs is $24,000 three it's technically she has it $24,34,34,34,34,349 and she is getting a discount of 50% the itemized receipt that she showed that her insurance will pay their insurance will pay

a remaining $11,000. Yes. So these are her daily shots broken down by cost. And as someone with breast cancer, she said a lot of my fertility treatments will be covered by the state of New York. So that's interesting and that's great.

I like how she's being transparent. I think these are things that people don't know. Like they don't know how insurance works, how medical things work. And, you know, she is in a very precarious situation. So her being open about it is only going to help so many people because she does have such a large following.

So I feel bad for her, but I'm glad that she's being transparent. I wish she got paid more for the show. I mean, she was The Bachelorette. So if only, you know, she could have gotten more money that came along with that. Maybe they don't pay their leads enough. They don't pay their leads too much. But she was also on F-Boy Island, with as being one of the girl leads

and she probably made more through being a lead there and she also is talking about motherhood she said that it was something that she didn't think that she wanted she said one day you think you don't want kids and then one day you meet the man of your dreams and you would do anything to make sure

that we can start a family in the future that's oh that's super sweet and she said that for those of you who aren't familiar with fertility treatment here's a typical day I'm taking three pills a day to keep my estrogen down a shot in my stomach in the morning and two shots in my stomach at night. And she has to go to the clinic, you know, for blood draws and ultrasounds and all of that.

She's in the second week leading up to their egg retrieval. She just says she's feeling tired and that her sleep and dreams are crazy. Oh, wow. Yeah, like I said, I'm glad that she's being transparent and open. and a lot of us are really rooting for her and rallying for her. Like, I sent her a nice message just to really, like, encourage her to get through this. It sounds like she had her whole, like, life plans with this guy that she met and she's engaged. So hopefully she is able to just, like, get through this and that there is, like, a bright light at the end of the tunnel and that she could have that family she's always wanted. And maybe before she even knows it, it could be, you know, in a couple of years.

And she was also talking about how, you know, if she has a success, egg retrieval and she gets like 10 eggs the viability of getting a baby from that retrieval is maybe one or two successful embryos that'll transfer over and you know become a baby one day so so much goes into it and it all still feels up to you know chance my boyfriend's professor is way too friendly and now i'm seriously suspicious oh wait a minute it's Maybe her boyfriend's 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?

What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth? Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice. he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York State number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short-term, highly regimented correctional programs that mimic military basic training. These programs aim to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of that.

the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was so overwhelming, and you don't know who's next to you. And we didn't know what to expect in the morning. Nobody tells you anything. Listen to shock incarceration on the I-HeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A foot washed up a shoe with some bones in it. They had no idea who it was. Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire that not a whole lot was salvageable.

These are the coldest of cold cases, but everything is about to change. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime. A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA. Using new scientific tools, they're finding clues in evidence so tiny you might just miss it. He never thought he was going to get caught, and I just looked at my computer screen. I was just like, ah, gotcha. On America's Crime Lab, we'll learn about victims and survivors, and you'll meet the team behind the scenes at Othrum,

the Houston Lab that takes on the most hopeless cases to finally solve the unsolvable. Listen to America's Crime Lab on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Our final headline is that Justin Clay, Andrew Spencer and Greg Grippo are taking a four-year friend-sversary trip. They've been friends for four years now, and they went to Putakana in the Dominican to celebrate this, which is very adorable.

They are one of the closest friend crews that I have seen come out of this show. And it's adorable that they're going away together, just the three of the guys, and they're recreating White Lotus during their trip. They've been doing that. So congratulations to your very close friendship. This seems like the guys from Katie's season have always been really close.

I mean, just looking at this article, there's other articles of them, like, having more friends from their group, like Mike, Michael A. Oh, I love Michael A. He should, well, Michael A is great, but then also there was Mike from the Virgin. And I love Mike the Virgin. he should be in paradise for sure

and I would love to see all these three guys together in paradise I know that Justin and his relationship with Susie is up in the air but hey it is good Bachelor in Paradise fodder to have either him alone and us see him struggling with heartbreak or both of them and being like if you guys can't get through paradise together then you probably won't be able you know to resurrect this relationship

yeah i mean them taking boys trips all the time like they must have just like gotten a lot of money from their influencing career and just you know have all the time in the world because it seems like they're taking trips together every other week good for them like they're just living their best life and they enjoy each other's company i my guess is that a lot of places a lot of resorts a lot of events want these guys here because they're single they're good looking they're like the last really i feel like lovable bunch of single guys from the show like can you think in recent seasons like a guy group that is

funny and charming the way that they are no and they're really good at TikTok too they are always posted different sounds and stuff I really want Greg to be the bachelor I feel like he is eligible like he has a big enough name so I would love them to make him the bachelor but if he's not going to do it like I would hope that he would at least do Bachelor in Paradise

because he only gave us one season he was only on Katie's season and then he came in at the end with Victoria there, but I don't know why he won't just go on the show, especially because he seems to really enjoy all the perks that come with it. I think he definitely would be the Bachelor. And yeah, we won't have a Bachelorette season to pick the Bachelor from. So it could be somebody like him from a previous season. But my opinion is that they would probably like to pull a Colton scenario, a Nick scenario with him, have him go on Paradise, see how that unfolds or

him remind people how much they loved him and then if it doesn't work out have him be the bachelor lead it's i think that's the perfect scenario for everyone i hope he does it because i think we'll we'll need some type of all-star cast and we're going to need some guys need him as the star guy yeah yeah there's so many amazing girls from the last few years that i know we're going to go go out there and want to especially joey's season and grant season so i really hope that grant and Maybe Andrew and Justin will join him. I mean, Greg. Maybe they'll join him in Paradise.

Maybe we can get all three of them there. I think we need to do this. And I think we need to put Susie in there too. That would be so good. I think she could be down. Do you have insight about their relationship currently? Yeah, it's over. It's not.

I think they're just friendly on good terms. Okay. So, guys, what was happening was, of course, they were together for about five months last year, turned a friendship, a really close friendship, into a romantic relationship they broke up and then it seemed as a couple months ago they were trying to possibly rekindle things and you're saying that currently not rekindled

not rekindled I did see my girl Susie over the weekend I saw her at a friend's birthday party so yes she said they're not together they're just friends and she didn't directly say she would go to paradise but it seemed like she could be open so I would hope that she's never gone either she's never been so i'm hoping she goes love it love it and we'll know we'll know if she's

there and we'll know who else is there because once it comes to may and we know when they go to film we'll see who's you know gone from their social media yeah and stuff like that so we'll be able to kind of tell and hear and maybe we can spoil at least who went not what happens but at least who went yes good stuff it seems like this paradise season is going is one in which the cast really wants be part of. I think in previous years we've heard people be like, oh no, I don't want to do Paradise. Every thinks that they have a good chance at the lead. So a lot of

the quote A-listers won't go to Paradise. And now I think they're like, oh, who knows what's going on for this franchise? Let's just take what we can get. I would rather go to Paradise. You know, if you don't even know if you're going to be the lead, if anyone's really holding out for it. And even if you go to Paradise, you can still be the lead. It seems like there's

way less pressure on Paradise than there is on any of the other shows. So I think all the people should just go back do it a third time like you have nothing to lose yeah i think people need to really remember that if you go to paradise it doesn't mean you can't be the lead actually it might increase your odds of being the lead and guys probably could yeah and there's air conditioning maybe this year so good good just do it have a great time all right well zach thank you so much for joining us again great headlines episode thanks for being our go-to fill in man we appreciate you

And we'll probably see you sometime very soon. Yes, I'd love to come back. Thank you all so much for watching. Bye. Follow the Ben and Ashley I, almost famous podcast on IHeartRadio or subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts. Hi, my name is Enya Umanzor. And I'm Drew Phillips.
