This is an I-Heart podcast. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, luckily, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend's 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.

Hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That seems inappropriate. Maybe find out how it ends by listening to the OK Storytime podcast and the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, my name is Enya Umanzor. And I'm Drew Phillips.

I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? Answer, a new podcast called Wisecrack,

where a comedian finds himself at the center of a chilling true crime story. Does anyone know what show they've come to see? It's a story. It's about the scariest night of my life. This is Wisecrack. Available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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. Listen to shock incarceration on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA. Right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime. On the new podcast, America's Crime Lab, every case has a story to tell. And the DNA holds the truth.

He never thought he was going to get caught. And I just looked at my computer screen. And I was just like, ah, got you. This technology's already solving so many cases. Listen to America's Crime Lab on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is the Ben and Ashley I, almost famous podcast with IHartRadio. It's almost famous podcast. We're here with Bachelor headlines.

And I've got the best co-host outside of Ashley in the world, Bob Guinea today. Hello. Hi, buddy. We're out here in San Francisco. We're going to gophe a little bit. Ashley obviously is not here because she has more important things to do. Much more important and adorable reasons not to be here. Yeah.

So we're filling in. And the first headline we have for you today, today's a short day on headlines. We only have two, but they're both big. They're both celebratory. Rodney Matthews, well, he's from Michelle Young's season of The Bachelorette, is engaged to his fiancé Ari. Ari J. R.E.J.

Yes. now about a year ago bob uh rodney was on talking about this relationship very excited uh for where it could go yep obviously it went somewhere really good really good i'm happy for him he was a fan favorite people loved them um obviously you know a lot of people i think come off the show um you know and and really kind of almost are like a hard reset into what they're looking for in relationships not that, you know, handing out flowers on TV makes you an expert in relationships, but I am.

I am a total expert. No, but I would say that people go on there and they come off the show and they're like, okay, this was fun, this was a great opportunity for me to meet some great people. Now I know what I'm looking for, and here's what it is. And we hear a lot about this.

We hear a lot about really successful relationships coming on the heels of someone's, you know, participation in the show. I think it's great. I think it's awesome. So they hard-launched their relationship last September. So we're almost at a full year.

Almost at a full year, which means they probably were dating before September. I would be surprised if they went on their first date and then he's like, hey, we should post this on Instagram tomorrow.

They were probably burying the lead for a while. Yeah, so they've probably been together for about a year. This is a very exciting time for Rodney. And obviously, like you said, the fan favorite. The next headline is this.

Maddie Pruitt announced that her and Grant are expecting a little baby. What's going on? Is something in the water lately, Ben? There's a lot of people are sleeping with their spouse. I guess. God bless them. God bless them. This is a really, really cool announcement. I think Bachelor Nation is very excited to see her. She's kind of built a big following with her podcast. Obviously, her husband Grant is a pastor.

And I think people are absolutely stoked for baby trout. that's so sweet man i i always liked her on on that season and um you know i remember i don't know why this is something that always pops into my head is that the last uh the kind of the last kind of confessional they had when um when peter's mom came on oh goodness she was she was a tough customer and uh so you know i'm always interested when i get to see someone come off of that season and uh and see great news for them so very excited that was probably some of the best tv the bachelors ever produced. Between that and what we were talking about yesterday with Jake,

Jake and Vienna's breakup video, that was about as awful it could get to. Now, if I remember, Maddie was kind of the one that Peter chose at the end of his season, right? So, you know, my good friend Natasha told me once that he wanted to be with Maddie. Okay. But Maddie took herself out of the mix.

She self-eliminated, so to speak. Okay. So then he did propose to Hannah M. Ann, Hannah Ann, thank you. Then on happy couples, which I don't even know what that is, but I like that.

Then Maddie came back and then he said, I wanted to be with Maddie instead. And that's when we met Captain Mom. What are you saying that Peter's season, I don't remember all this, had like three legitimate breakups in the course of like five months.

Yeah. That's an emotional roller coaster. Goodness gracious. Well, hey, with all that being said, yes, Maddie was from Peter Weber's season. Um, they did announce this week that they, uh, it was August 18th, they announced that they will be expecting a baby. Um, very excited for them. Yeah. Hey, that's all the headlines we have for today. We'll be back with more amazing content. Because that was really amazing. That was good.

Yeah, that was absolutely fantastically crushed. Brought you by the miles of babes. Yeah. It's just beautiful. We'll be back with more until then. I've been Ben. I've been Bob.
