This is the Ben and Ashley I, Almost Famous Podcast with IHartRadio. It's time for another week of the Almost Famous Podcast. We are pumped to be here, aren't we, Ashley? We are so pumped. I said that like Courtney Kardashian.

You did. Ben, we are so pumped to be here. And the reason is there's a lot of good headlines today. I was in Dallas, Texas all week for a golf tournament. You were able to probably watch it. It was the invited Celebrity Classic. If you didn't make it out this year. I'm so sorry.

I didn't watch it on TV, Ben. That's okay, Ash. Well, if you didn't watch it or you didn't come this. Are you serious? Are you sad? I'm a little sad. I mean, it's a big deal. That makes me sad.

I should like set an alarm. Do you find yourself not watching your friend's stuff on TV? Because I feel like I'm so guilty of like my friends doing cool things. And then I don't even watch it on TV and I hate myself for it. Yeah. We have too many friends on TV, right? We have too many friends on TV, I guess. If you, you know, I know you have some cool projects coming up.

I'll watch those. I'll make sure to tune in. Oh, yeah. Okay. On SNL. Yeah. After the SNL, after finale, yeah, Jared and I have a show on. but guess what ben i'm going to go on youtube i'm going to find your clip to the pga golf tournament

that will be a really hard search to find i will say this though actually there's a lot of people that came out um from bachelor nation in support uh they were all super nice really fun to talk to i really love it uh when people do come to these events uh if they live in the area or even if they don't and they say hi because it's just it's it's nice to be out in the public nice to be mingling with people while I'm doing something I love so much. A lot of really kind people out there. But if you didn't make it next year, or this year, I hope to be invited back next year. And if I am, I would love to see more people come out.

It was a great event, a great weekend, a little cold in Dallas, but the invited Celebrity Classic did a great job. And congratulations to Tony Romo and Mark Hensby. Mark Hensby was the pro that won it in a playoff. And Tony Romo just won straight up. I mean, the dude is so good. like could tony just become a professional golf player now um he's close yeah i mean i i i can't say that he is you know once he becomes a senior i do think there is possibility for him to qualify for some of

these events what's a senior in pGA 50 okay so 50 um i mean he's really good he's he's a stud i do have a funny story for you though okay okay because you did tease that you're going to have a Tony's story for us. Oh, yes, I did. Okay, let me share, let me share this story about this week first, and I'll share with you a Tony Romo story. Ready for it? And first, I just want to say, this just in, on YouTube. There's no content of you golfing this week. Well, I'm not surprised. I'm going to find it somewhere. Okay, here's the first story from this week. Wells plays in this event with me, and I play with him. We're always paired together. on the first day.

And Wells and I go into this knowing, hey, we're good golfers. Like, I will say that about us. But we have a very small chance of winning it. Like, these guys are a lot better than us. And so we go in for, like, different goals, right? Top 10, top 15, top 20, those kind of things. Well, Wells gets asked before the event, they're doing a celebrity pickleball tournament. And there's four teams in the pickleball tournament.

He gets asked to play in it. don't, he does. Wells has always told me, hey, I'm a, I'm a decent pickleball player. I really like pickleball. Can you tell me what pickleball is? Pickle ball is, is like a mix between ping pong and tennis. And it's played on smaller courts, and you hit a different type of ball with a solid racket. It's an incredible game. It's the, I think. Sounds like tether ball of like the 90s. Similar in a lot of ways. I do believe it's the fastest growing sport in the U.S. right now. It's really thriving. Well, Wells is jacked. He's telling me, hey, I think I might win this thing. I have a chance here. I could compete here. And I'm so

pumped for him. This is going to be a lot of fun. So we show up to the event. The brackets for the pickleball tournament get put out. Wells Adams and his partner are paired against. It's Marty Fish, one of the best tennis players of all time, and John Isner, the former number eight tennis player in the world who's also 610. Wells gets smashed in the first game. Like absolutely does get smashed. I thought you were going to say like in a twist of face. No, no, no, he just got smashed. So sad for Wells.

Okay, so here's my Tony Romo story. This happened in Tahoe at the American Century. classic a few years ago. I've never really told this story in the Almost Famous Podcast because it's something that embarrasses me deeply. Okay.

So that's a big, that's a big celebrity event. That makes us want to know more and that means it's going to be a great story. And knowing you, it's probably not really that embarrassing. That's pretty embarrassing. Okay.

Okay, okay. So the American Century tournament is one that is stacked full of celebrities. I mean, this is where, like, the Justin Timberlakes, my partner that week was Miles Teller before he was, obviously, in Top Gun. You know, you have the Tom Brady's and the Aaron Rogers and the Tony Romo's, all these Steph Curry, all these huge athletes come out for it, right? And actors and actresses.

So I get invited to play in it. I am so excited. And one of my buddies gives me the advice, Ben, if you ever want to get invited back, you just do whatever they say to do. Like, you are entertainment this week. Sounds like The Bachelor. It really is, yeah. And so I'm fired up.

I get an email from the tournament director saying, okay, it's time to sign up for our annual karaoke night. This karaoke night is something that's sent through an email. So I'm like, I got to do it, right? I got to do karaoke that's following my buddy's suggestion. So I sign up. And I sign up for Whitney Houston. I want to dance with somebody.

Why, Whitney? just it's a good karaoke song uh i felt like it was a cloud crowd crowd pleaser i also did it because i'm not a good singer at all like i'm a terrible singer so you went with the best singer in the entire well well that's the problem i thought people would sing along with me so that my carry in my mind my karaoke job would be very easy you point the mic at the audience and they sing so i show up to the event. And one of the guys, the guitarist for Rascal Flats is there at our player meeting. And he goes, hey, Ben, introduces himself, you must be a really good singer. I said, no. No, I'm not a good singer at all. But why would you think that? He goes,

you're not a good singer, but you signed up for karaoke night. I said, yeah, yeah, I did. And he said, do you know what karaoke night is? Oh, gosh. And I said, I have no idea what karaoke night is. I'm assuming it's karaoke. That's it. And he goes, Ben, karaoke night is in front of 2,500 people on the lake in Lake Tahoe. Everybody from the tournament is there.

And this night is meant for the Justin Timberlakes of the world, the Alfonso Riberos of the world, the rascal flats of the world, to sing cover songs for the audience. This is not meant for people like you. And I freak out, right? Freak out. Yeah. So I have two options.

You back out or you just go with it. And so I just went with it because I didn't. I'm sorry, were you the bachelor at this point? Like, were you the reigning bachelor? No, this was probably a year and a half later, two years later. Okay. But you're still pretty cool. Yeah, I'm pretty cool.

Well, I mean, as cool as I've ever been. Yeah. The coolest I've ever been in my life. Relevant. Yeah. And almost famous. Almost famous. And so I show up to this event, and he's not lying.

There is a huge stage in front of 2,500 people, all of which are heroes of mine, the athletes and the actors and the people and the singers of the past. And then there's the public. The public could buy tickets to this. And everybody is up on stage crushing it. I mean, they are singing beautifully. They're covering songs. People are dancing around.

It's a beautiful evening. And then they tell me it's my turn. and I step up on stage and I don't realize that this is legit karaoke where they don't even have the words to this song and guess who the band is

that plays the music like the roots or something Rascal Flats so Rascal Flats is playing the music I am supposed to be singing Whitney Houston I know enough of the words

to fake it a little bit it is awful I mean, it is embarrassing. There is nothing about that, like, song that I did well. The crowd is in shock. They are embarrassed. They are confused. I get off the stage and I know that this was awful.

Like, this was- The audience is shocked. Like, they don't have any humor. They don't have any sense of humor at it. Oh, no, people are laughing at me. No, sure. Okay. Yeah.

But like, they're not like deciding like, oh, let's sing and dance with this guy. No, no, no. Obviously doesn't have it. I think in a lot of ways they thought it was disrespectful because they had paid- They had paid tickets to hear their favorite singers sing songs, and I'm taking up four minutes of that with my music. So I get off the stage. My head is sunk.

I'm at this event that I wanted to be at so bad. I've always wanted to play in. I've just started the event with the most embarrassing moment that I can remember in a long time. Nobody was like really being kind to me. This wasn't like, oh, Ben, that was awesome. way to go like you did it like that you should be proud of yourself it was more like everyone is kind of upset are you sure this is like ben higgins no no this like i could have

walked off the stage walked to my hotel room and nobody would have stopped me i would have just got looks like that was definitely how it was going tony romo is standing there okay off to the side of stage the only person to say anything to me and he goes hey man um that that took balls And I just It was sweet It was the only interaction I had with Tony that week But it was the only interaction I had

Post this embarrassing moment And I just remember him Saying one thing to make me feel like Hey You're not a complete embarrassment Somebody sees it as courage And it just happened to be Tony Romo

That's very sweet That means a lot Yeah sweet Well Ben Thanks for sure sharing that story, I do feel like you're deeply affected by it. And that's why you haven't told it. Well, I didn't get invited back to the tournament the next year. So I'm really. Yeah, I'm wondering if that might have been it.

No, Ben, this is crazy. People, one, should have had a sense of humor and two should have made you more clear of the rules. Yeah, they should have given me that out. They should have said, hey, this isn't just, this isn't for you. But yeah. And guess what? It didn't make any headlines. No, but I'm sure. I'm sure the video's out there. Should I YouTube that? Ben Higgins karaoke. Just let me do it. Don't say anything.

It's not. You just made up that story, didn't you? No, I really didn't. I really didn't. Ashley, we have a podcast packed with headlines. Let's jump into him now right after the break. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly. and now I'm seriously suspicious.

Well, wait a minute, Sam, 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. 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?

Be a part of my new chapter and listen to the new season of the Overcumper podcast

as part of the MyCultura podcast network on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. First headline is this. He is making the headlines recently. Bachelors Dean Ungler suggests using brother's sperm to impregnate fiancée Kaelin. This according to people. All right, Ash, tell us more. Okay, so Jared was there for this conversation. Dean keeps saying Dean-like things on Help We Suck at Being Newlyweds, the new branding for Help by Sucidating.

Isn't it just Help We Suck now? Yeah, it should just be Help We Suck. I think it is. No, according to my husband, who's on the show, it's still Help We Suck at Being newlyweds. I just think it should be helped by suck at relationships, but whatever. So they talk about fertility on this episode. Kalyn said that she did the modern fertility test,

and then Dean has apparently checked his sperm eight years ago. He's always thought that he's infertile. Always thought he's sterile, he says. So I guess that's why he got it checked eight years ago, and he was good back then. And then Dean does the Dean thing, where he kind of makes a joke about what he says, he's thought of in the past he says because I've always thought I was infertile I've

always thought that if need be I'd impregnate my wife with my brothers I he has two brothers sperm and he goes I guess that's weird now that there's a person here that would be the one being impregnated like she goes I was gonna ask like does she have any say no and now that Caitlin is here I'm thinking it might be a little weird he goes you can just go in the room with them for like 30 minutes and she goes i'm not oh my god this is the most ridiculous conversation ever let alone i'm not going to have sex with them um he goes oh i guess so i guess it would be more of like a like in vitro type situation it's i go jared like how is this making headlines and then he goes it's just dean

being dean and like joking around and then everybody makes headlines about it and i have to say when you do read the actual article and this is people okay this isn't like a tabloid people's not a tabloid when you read the quotes it sounds very legitimate I think that Dean has some sort of seriousness to it I think he has thought of it as like a passing thought in the past and now he's just kind of joking for good podcast content yeah well that kind of stuff happens I just I I didn't know all this about Dean no oh you think that people usually use their sibling sperm yeah that happens no they are i you know how on friends like phoebe was the surrogate yeah or her brother like that is a little strange but

also okay um but using the sibling sperm i i do think it happens i do he goes okay but wouldn't that be weird knowing that your son is really um like your brother's son biologically and he was like i guess that would be kind of weird how i i don't know i don't know if you could do that like i understand i totally sperm donation is a great thing egg donation is a great thing but like the brother a sibling that you're still in good touch with it is dean a dean would find a way to dean just finds a way to do or out of, out of left field. And so I wouldn't put it past him to think this is a good idea.

And I'm sure it does happen. I'm sure it does. Well, Carly Waddell is releasing new music and Tees' song, Your Friends Like Me More. I didn't know she could sing. You don't know if she could sing. I didn't know that. Carly sings like an angel.

Really? Yeah. Carly has a great voice. Carly was a professional singer before going on the show. She did a lot of cruise ship, sing. she was the cruise ship singer at the nightly shows and whenever she sings around me I'm like oh my god she is so talented and now we see her put out a new song like an original song it's called your friends like me more and it's amazing guys I'm not saying this as her friend

I've watched it multiple times the little teaser that she dropped on Instagram and I keep listening to it over and over again and even even Dawson like when the video is playing. He's like, oh, all attention on that song. It sounds so good. Like, that is the kind of song. If you heard it on the radio, you wouldn't be like, ah, this is a reality star trying to be a country singer. Like, she just sounds straight country singer. So you guys, please go check out our friend Carly's, well, her EP is dropping on Mayf. Well, she's releasing them song by song. So this song, which will compile into one EP, eventually. is dropping on May 1st, and you can pre-save it with a link.

Just go to her Instagram and find out how to do it. Bachelor stars Ari and Lauren Lyondike reveal their considering adoption in the future. Really happy with our three children now is the quote they use, but they're considering it. Yeah, I was actually shocked to see this headline knowing that Ari has had a vasectomy. Yeah. They did say in this article says, their shop is closed. He's had a vasectomy.

And we wouldn't have any more biological children, but we've considered adoption. Said it's not like on the agenda right now. But if it does, it's something that, if it does seem like a craving that they have in the next couple of years, they will look into it. Well, Catherine and Sean say they originally wanted five kids, but they're set with three. It's a lot, they say. according to people. Yes. Again, in this article, Sean is talking about getting a vasectomy soon.

Man, what a trend in Bachelor Nation. They said that they wanted to have five and then once they had three, they were like, okay, we like this little group of ours says that a couple weeks or a couple months ago, recently, they've had a little pregnancy scare thinking that maybe she was pregnant. took a test and it was negative and they both said when they saw that it was negative they were both really happy and that was a moment that they that they were like okay we should probably be done with three now that being said Sean said that he could have like 10 girls it's the boys who are troubled that are a lot more difficult makes me feel much better Sean and then he said that right

now they're enjoying their little family soaking all in he says he catches himself a lot and don't want to sound super emotional, super sensitive dad over here, but I'll catch myself looking at their sweet, adorable faces and thinking, this isn't going to last much longer. It's a beautiful family. I know you have another Sean headline that you kind of have the ends on. And it's something about Sean in a robbery story. This was recently as well. He and Samuel, their oldest, who was six and a half, they were shopping at Dix. And, somebody came in just you know a shopper comes in and goes if anybody has a truck there's some guys outside trying to break into a truck and like steal it I don't know what what they were doing like

trying to pop up open the lock or trying to like hotwire it to like actually steal the car and he was like oh great that's definitely mine he says now he regrets having a car that like a truck that is like super shiny big um wreaths he says like it's just like a fancy truck he's like oh great that was a mistake he actually says that after this experience he's going to sell it soon just too flashy um so he goes outside sees these guys like in their getaway car trying to escape because they actually couldn't figure it out and they were wearing like masks and hoodies or something like that and he said that he left Samuel inside the dicks and he because he didn't want him to see it I'm sure he left him with like an employee or something and yeah so that's the story it's pretty scary another shot in Catherine story similar so many things about like their kids and safety their dog they had to rehome their dog which is so sad because he showed a little aggressiveness and then

The final straw was the fact that one of their kids, again, I think it was Samuel, had to go to the hospital, get a couple staples in his head after the dog kind of took a bite out of him. Oh, that's so sad. It's so sad. And, you know, Sean and Catherine just talked over and over again and how difficult decision that was. That wasn't them just being like, ah, we're getting rid of the dog. Like, it was like a thought out decision, but that moment, of course, was like the nail on the coffin. But what's great about the re-homing is that the dog is actually living with the trainer because they sought out a trainer to see if they could, you know, obviously train the dog into not doing this anymore.

And the trainer says that she like, you know, she loves the dog so much. She wanted to make it her own. And now the dog lives with lots of other dogs on like a big piece of property. And they get to even come visit sometimes. That's great. Well, that'd be tough. I can't imagine getting... I was thinking about you when I read it.

I was like, Ben is going to have sympathy towards this story. Yeah, my buddy Whalen. He's got a little wild in him, but we're working on it. We're working on it. We have a little wild in Lois as well. She's not the most behaved. Yeah. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious.

Oh, wait a minute, Sam. 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.

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 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. Do 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. Everyone thinks they'd never join a cult. But it happens all the time to people just like you. And people just like us. I'm Lola Blanc and I'm Megan Elizabeth.

We're the hosts of Trust Me, a podcast about cults, manipulation, and the psychology of belief. Each week, we talk to fellow survivors, former believers, and experts to understand why people get pulled in and how they get out. Trust me, new episodes every Wednesday on exactly right. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. Also, we have a headline about Becca Martinez. Becca Martinez is pregnant with baby number three. She teased this announcement on Instagram for a while this week, had a couple, like, posts about the announcement coming,

and we're all like, what's the announcement? She was like, are we expanding our family? Are we going off the grid? Are we signing onto a TV show? And it was expanding their family, which I think a lot of people who follow Becca closely like I do was actually pretty shocked about because, I believe that she's spoken relatively recently, like over the past maybe like six months to a year that they like were not planning on explaining the family anytime soon.

She definitely always seemed like she wanted more kids. But I think like she was getting to a point where she was like, I think we're going to like stay with these two now and then down the road. But that is not what happened. And maybe I'm wrong. Well, maybe she changed your mind. Maybe like the other two kids. It was a little bit unexpected, but I'm sure she'll tell us the entire story very soon. Yesterday we just got the announcement, and the announcement was quite unique.

She's been into, like, Claymation lately and creating Claymation. So she did a stop motion claimation announcement real on Instagram, and it depicts her Claymation character going into the bathroom and taking a pregnancy test, seeing that it's positive and being shocked, and then going into her and her i'm not sure if they're secretly married sometimes she refers to her um to grayson as her graceon as her fiance and sometimes she refers to him as her husband um but either or she does have a ring on her finger um and then in the in the video the claymation goes into the bedroom throws the pregnancy stick towards towards her fiancee and

he looks at it and then he falls back and faints it's really cute and funny it's definitely worth watching yeah go on check it out uh well final headline of the day gabby wendy posts uh a picture and the dress she was going to wear for the bachelor proposal on clayton season and clayton responds did you see this i was shocked i saw this in real time unfold she's she posted a really sexy picture of herself right in this dress that apparently she was was supposed to wear when she walked up to clayton now we know that clayton season didn't end in that traditional way where like one is dumped you know at the altar and underneath this sexy picture Clayton says um you can wear it to Scottsdale can you believe what does that mean he says bring
