Hey guys, welcome to the Almost Famous Podcast. We've missed you. Can't believe how time is flying. We're already in week six of the Golden Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise. Before we break down those episodes, it's time for Bachelor headlines.
Starting point is 00:02:29 And one headline didn't actually make it out in the media, but it's apparently juicy and it's on our list to go down. Ben, apparently, you were in Hawaii with Dean and Kaelin and your wife. And you, like, called out a 60-year-old woman for her behavior. Oh, yeah. If this was caught on video, this would have been a massive headline. And was it bachelor-induced? Like as in...
Starting point is 00:02:57 No. No. Okay. So she didn't come to you as a fan? No. Okay. Opposite. It wasn't a fan of Venice.
Starting point is 00:03:05 No. I don't think she has any clue who I. Nor does that, you know, matter or is it expected or anything like that. Yeah. I got really angry. I snapped. Right. Jess has only seen me probably snap.
Starting point is 00:03:19 What did she get sassy? I think her and Kaelen called it get sassy. So maybe it's not, I think she's probably seen it twice in our relationship. Dean, I think I've seen it once. Kailen's never seen it. And so I think it shook Kailen. You know, Ashley, I don't think anybody listened to the show is unaware that I have some pet peeves. I don't think anybody's unaware that the fact that like some things in life I feel could be avoided and probably would make everybody's life function a little better.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Okay, Ben, before you go on, can I just guess what it was about if it wasn't, like, Bachelor-related? Because I thought that maybe she came up and, like, said something about the way that you handled yourself as Bachelor so many years later, blah, blah, blah. So now that I know it's not Bachelor-related, I'm thinking, is it like the way she treated a server or people who worked at the hotel? A little bit. No, not in the police. So here's a situation. So Dean, Kail and I, Jessica, well, Dean, Kail, and Jessica and myself went to Hawaii.
Starting point is 00:04:21 This is with Hilton Grand Vacations. It was a great trip, and it was kind of in preparation for the big golf tournament that I love to play in that Hilton sponsors. And so we went down, we were staying in Hawaii. It was kind of something Jessica and I wanted to do because I couldn't make it to Dean's Bachelor Party. And then obviously for their wedding,
Starting point is 00:04:42 they didn't get to go on a honeymoon. So like, hey, this will be a really fun time for all of us to go down there together. We had a great time. A really good time together. It's wild when you can stay in an apartment and with another couple, and it just goes so well. And we did. So when I went to a luau, went to this luau and there's probably, I would say 800 people, 1,000 people at this luau,
Starting point is 00:05:02 it's huge. Holy moly. Yeah, it's beautiful. How many times do I say holy moly a week? I don't know. I haven't counted. A lot. Too many. Too many. So we go to this luau, 800 people and it's beautiful and it's great and it's kind of the entry to the night where food is being served and there's somebody doing an incredible, like, like dance on stage with like a guitar. It's a very like slow piece of the evening. And we, somebody comes up to us and they say,
Starting point is 00:05:30 hey, can I get a picture? And of course, we all go, yeah, of course you can. Okay. We take a picture.
Starting point is 00:05:36 So it sounds bachelor fandom related. Yeah. So we get a picture. Okay. And then another person comes up. And they say, hey, can we get a picture.
Starting point is 00:05:42 And I'm like, yeah, you can. You know, all of us. Like, this is all of us together. I mean like,
Starting point is 00:05:46 yeah, that's fine. That's great. Like, go ahead. And then once that person does, you know, there's like a little line of now people taking pictures.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Okay. Again, the night hasn't started. Food is just being served. And, you know, I'm at this point getting a lot, not frustrated, but everybody comes up and says, just one more, one more, one last one. It's like, well, that's not true. Like, you can't say that there's one last one because there's going to be somebody brand new that comes up.
Starting point is 00:06:09 And that's fine too. Let's just, you know, let's just get through this. Let's do this because we're trying to enjoy our dinner. And, uh, and I, I never get like angry at people wanting pictures. Yeah. But it was kind of like it was the line was getting longer, right? Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:25 So this person comes up and they say, Hey, can we get a picture? And it's like four ladies and they're great and they're having a good time on their vacation. And this lady behind them goes, um, Hey,
Starting point is 00:06:36 Mr. Celebrity. How about you, uh, how about you sit down? And I said, excuse me. And so we took the picture.
Starting point is 00:06:45 And then she goes, uh, how about you sit down or you move to take your pictures? and I said, I'm sorry. I was like, do you think I'm asking for pictures? And she goes, well, you're the one getting all the pictures, Mr. Celebrity. What the, and I said, I said, I think your logic lady is incredibly flawed. And here's why.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Did you say lady? Yeah, I was mad. I was pretty mad. And she was sitting right behind us. And I said, here's the deal. We're not blocking anything. People are asking to take pictures with us. If I had it my way, I would be.
Starting point is 00:07:20 sitting having dinner but we're going to take pictures and do you want me to get up and walk past now 800 people with four other people every time somebody wants a picture with us so that we can get a picture and then we walk all the way back to our seats and sit down or would you rather me expedite this and take a picture as quick as we can so that everybody can get back to their evening and she didn't say anything okay yeah I was going to say good response yes so then the night starts right night starts and I'm fuming because she said it twice. I was really upset. And I just thought in my mind, I was upset because I thought she was making it uncomfortable for not only me, but also the
Starting point is 00:08:03 people asking for pictures, which is an uncomfortable thing to do when you ask anybody take a picture with you. I also thought that it was inappropriate of her to at any level blame Dean Kalin or myself for what was happening in the situation because we can't control it. it and there is no navigation to it other than get the picture and sit down or to say no which makes you look like a jerk yeah so then the night starts and oh the fire begins and they you know start their whole show and she gets up and goes to the bathroom and i said hey you're missing the show which probably was where i shouldn't have said anything else like i probably at this point should have kept it to myself at that point i felt bad yeah you're just your fist it's fine
Starting point is 00:08:44 i'm just i'm just angry fuming yeah you just could not help yourself no so i'm sure somebody there that was sitting at her long table, saw me stand at the table and tell her that I thought her logic was incredibly flawed and get really upset with her and also speak back to her. I don't feel bad about what I said to her because I do think she was in the wrong. I think there is a respect level and also, you know, her having their wherewithal and the intelligence to know that, hey, this probably isn't ideal for them either. And yes, it isn't ideal for me because now, you know, they are kind of standing in my way, but this isn't something that they ask for or tried to have happen.
Starting point is 00:09:22 And so getting mad at them is not really, you know, getting to the heart of the issue. I was upset about that. I did lose sleep that night then because I felt bad for the people that were still in line wanting to picture because they didn't ask any longer. And I'm wondering if I made them feel like they were doing something bad. And I don't think anybody's doing anything bad here. I just think it's like it's unfortunate that, you know, we're sitting in the middle table. and yes, there is a line of people taking pictures now
Starting point is 00:09:51 to close this at the appropriate time while dinner is being served and there is no show going on on the stage. What do you mean? Like if this would have been happening while the actual luau was being done, like the dancing and the singing, then I would have understood a little bit more.
Starting point is 00:10:10 I still would have liked the way she talked to us. But I would have understood her frustration. The show hadn't even started yet. Like we were just eating dinner. and have him drinks. So, you know, I don't know what was going on with her. I thought you were going to say something that when she was walking to the bathroom and you said, uh, you're missing the show. I thought she was going to retaliate. She didn't. Uh, I don't know. No, nothing. I mean, I think at that point it was over and I think it only could
Starting point is 00:10:36 have got worse. That was very dumb of me. I should have kept it. I should have been mature enough to say, nope, the situation's done. It's over with. Um, but you know, it is what it is. BS, I did Dean and Kaelin and they didn't say a word. Would they, no? No, they didn't even say a word. I don't even know if they thought I was in the right.
Starting point is 00:10:55 I think they were just like, dang, all right. Well, Ben Snappy. Sassy is what they called me. They said I got sassy. No, that's sassy. That's sassy. That's not like me and it's sassy. I mean,
Starting point is 00:11:06 I didn't like try to, I didn't say anything personally to attack her. Well, I mean, she was referring to as Mr. Celebrity, like thinking as if you had an ego, I think. Yeah. Mr. Celebrity. And I think her insinuating that you were bringing all this on because it's like something
Starting point is 00:11:21 that you were like inviting, actively inviting, I think that's what really set you off. Set me off. It did. And I think at that point I was a little bit frustrated either also because, you know, we hadn't had dinner together, which is fine. It's kind of expected. You know, you go to a big group and like Dean and Kaelin are a hot commodity right now. Like they're freshly married.
Starting point is 00:11:42 They're just in people like they're people love them and they know them. So I get it. I just don't, I don't like to feel, I don't personally like to feel bad for something I feel like I couldn't control. Like I had done something wrong. Like I felt like I had done something wrong in this. And I had it. Let's also just say that please come up to us and take pictures.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Yeah. We love it and never feel weird or awkward. Yeah. Just don't get mad at me during it. 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.
Starting point is 00:12:31 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.
Starting point is 00:12:49 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?

Starting point is 00:15:58 Anyways, we do have other headlines this week, and I'm hoping maybe somebody does have a video of me getting sassy. I know of a thousand people, you would think. If it hit the web, I would want to watch it because I kind of like was so mad. I don't remember everything. thing um anyways the golden bachelor sonda mason reacts to criticism over a missing daughter's
Starting point is 00:16:21 wedding for the show this is something we've talked about on this podcast i'm glad she's speaking out on it um because we wanted a little perspective we didn't talk about it last week though i don't think we did jess and i did we we oh you and just did okay that's why it was in the week before all right yeah so what was your take because just has a different take than me so nana yes is nana and i both hey we understand like at some point in your life maybe you got to be a little selfish this felt like something that she wanted to try and do and obviously her and her daughter had agreed to this and yes it's a big moment but it's also a big moment for her mom to like step back out there and go in the dating world again uh is it ideal timing no um but we we understood that like hey
Starting point is 00:17:06 it's okay jessica felt like it was she i just think jessica thinks about like the fact that her mom missed her wedding, like how weird that would be for her. And I think she was like, I just can't imagine it. I agree with what you said. They definitely jointly came up with this plan. And the daughter was supportive of it. And here's why. I'm pretty sure the wedding, and I think she may have said this, maybe it wasn't clear. It was really small. It almost like it was a courthouse wedding. It looked like it was like a, just like a, it wasn't like a huge party. It wasn't like a thing. It was like a, we're going to go sign paperwork. type thing. And in that case, I think she was like, mom, you don't have to be present when I'm just like going to the courthouse or having like the smallest ceremony ever. If it was a wedding like your wedding or like my wedding, like that would have been effing weird. It would be weird. It definitely would be odd. I still think though there's there's a world in which like it would be okay because her mom is trying something different and her mom is doing something for herself. And you know, you don't know the backstory of of their relationship and how often her mom has made. Right.
Starting point is 00:18:14 but I do think we're a courthouse wedding it makes a lot more sense and then I'm assuming just like most courthouse weddings at some point in the future the family gets together for like a good dinner or like to have some drinks or whatever to celebrate
Starting point is 00:18:28 and I'm guessing her mom will be at that I'm guessing her and like that would be she says that okay so this is what she says in the article she knows she got a little backlash on it but again like no shade there's no shade coming from me because as much as it would have been weird
Starting point is 00:18:43 from one of my parents to miss my wedding circumstances, the specific we don't know. She and her daughter are cool with what went down. I think there's also the question of if you knew that she was going to, like at this point where she was top six, she should have known or I don't know, do you know, do you not know, whether she was going to continue on with Gary.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Like should she have left early knowing that maybe there were a good couple frontrunners before her? I don't think she has any idea, right? Yeah. She's, at that point, I think she's still up there. Yeah. Well, that's what she said. She said like she felt like she had like a 50, 50 shot of being.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Maybe she's, she says, quote, mathematically, 50% or less than 50%. What is this? How does this, how is this a real, mathematically 50% or less than 50% chance? Whatever that means, this is a quote from her. She says, we had six women. That was her chance. So, you know, in my heart. and in my psyche, I knew that Gary and I had formed a deeper, one of the deeper relationships.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Get that. The bottom line here is that she's glad that she did this. Her son-in-law said, a ceremony is eight minutes. Our marriage is for a lifetime. He said, go. And then, of course, my daughter's response was, Mom, I've got my guy. You go get yours. The thought of me not coming to me, Gary, was the wrong thing.
Starting point is 00:20:12 do. So she said we are all going to go out to dinner and she went out and purchased a gift for them and she's going to kiss them all over during their wedding celebration. And then she also has mentioned because she's kind of active on Instagram that she's had a lot of men sliding into the DMs. And she's excited to go and respond back. She's very hopeful and traveling a lot. And then she's going to get to her inbox very soon. That's a piece of the gold and Bachelor that I'm excited to hear about as it continues and as these people come out to the public is if they are getting the DMs now and if they are going to get back out in the dating world because of this show, it's going to be very interesting. Well,
Starting point is 00:20:54 headline here that's interesting because it happened in 2018. But the headline is this, how former Bachelor Sean Lowe saved infant son's life. Yeah. So it is interesting that it's coming out now. I'm wondering if they're just getting out there talking about RSV. we've talked about RSV here on the podcast and you guys can go to beware of RSV.com to learn more especially since it's becoming like six season for kids so this is what Sean and Catherine said recently she said there was a time she was working
Starting point is 00:21:29 I don't know if she was out of town or whether she's just like on set of something and she said that he was alone with their five month old son at the time Isaiah he was coughing and just felt like there was like something like going on in his chest and he said that he goes to pediatrician and they go you've got to go to the ER right now and he wasn't sure it was going on this is this is from Catherine she goes and my husband didn't even have his phone he rushed to the ER and he used somebody else's phone to call when he got there and what had happened was the baby was diagnosed with RSV and because at five months the baby's
Starting point is 00:22:10 immune system isn't fully developed, it needs time to grow stronger. The RSV can actually lead to like collapse lung sacs, severe breathing issues, coughing, wheezing, difficulty, breathing, pneumonia, all that stuff, bad things. And Catherine just said like the whole thing so dramatic, traumatic. She looks back and she can like, she sees Isaiah is hooked up to all these tubes and she was like, that child was just in my arms and breastfeeding and now I can't even touch him. And of course, we know that Isaiah has made a full recovery from that, but she just said that just having those fatherly instincts to take him right to the doctor and then to just run to the ER is, she's very, very thankful for it. Yeah, it's a good story. And one, you know, during, as we interned to the wintertime, parents should just be aware of.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Yes. It's kind of that respiratory issue and that cough. It is not something just to push off. well speaking of kids um just like every newly married couple the first question publicly that everybody asks them is what's your plans for a baby i feel bad for them like they're like two months off their wedding goodness gracious my boyfriends 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.

But no, Ben, that's wrong for you because it's just wrong for you because like you're born to be a father. So then I would inquire further
Starting point is 00:27:58 and be like, but Ben, what do you mean? That is absolutely outrageous. You are both, you two. who are both very much meant to be parents. So this is wrong and I must get to the bottom of it. No, I would have been like, it's inappropriate for you to ask me. And that's what I would have thrown it back
Starting point is 00:28:14 on every single person that did and then nobody would ever want to talk to me again and I would ruin everything, but that's okay. Yeah, I don't know. But it is, it is pretty outrageous that it happens so immediately after the wedding. Like, please give me Louis Wends at least a year. I mean, it happened like two days later.
Starting point is 00:28:31 We did an interview and they're like, When do you think about having kids? Honeymoon baby? Yeah. I'm like, what? Oh, geez. I would have like, yeah, no. The time of being newly married is one to treasure the two of you.
Starting point is 00:28:46 If that's, I guess so you plan. But that was my style. Yeah. Well, some people are expecting and had planned on having babies. And this next headline is about that. Bachelors, Haley, Ferguson is pregnant. expecting first baby with husband. This is super exciting for the former bachelor contestant who happened to also be on the same
Starting point is 00:29:13 season I was. That's so sweet that you say like the same season you were as if like you weren't the bachelor like my season. You don't call it my season. That's very sweet, Ben. It was all your seasons. It wasn't about me. All right.
Starting point is 00:29:28 So we are so excited for Haley. She's been trying for a while with her son. Ula. It's been about, it's been over a year that they've been trying. And oh my gosh, we're just so happy for them because she's watched Emily be pregnant and with a twin who's pregnant and you guys are both married within the same time frame. It's just like, I can't imagine what she had to go through being like, are you guys trying? Do you want one? Did you want the kids to grow up together and it's like she's like, yes, I've been trying. We've been basically trying like a long side of each other and Emily got pregnant first and she now has a baby who I think is like I don't know over
Starting point is 00:30:07 three months old I know that and now we get to say that healy is she's pregnant and it had happened via IVF it did take them a while so they went through IUI first which is usually recommended and then that didn't work so then they went right into IVF and she also had a polyp removed from her uterus so she's gone through a bit and we're just so happy for her and she was very concerned consider it in her Instagram reveal. It's really cute. It's a very cute reveal. The two of them are sitting in a cafe and they're reading a newspaper. It looks like an old school like photograph. And the headline says, um, baby Pauv on the way. I hope I'm saying their name, their last name correctly, Pavay on the way. And she says, it's with extremely heavy hearts and tons of joy that
Starting point is 00:30:53 Ola and I can officially share our exciting news. It's also important for me to recognize that even though I'm so happy to share this, part of me aches for anyone who sees this and feels pained. I know that feeling so well. I've shared my story and I've been able to build a beautiful, strong community of people also struggling with infertility. Please know that I understand if you need to step away from my page during this period and my heart is with you. It is exciting for the two of them.
Starting point is 00:31:21 I am personally very excited to see Haley. As a mom, Emily obviously already is a mother. I have always had a question about Haley and Emily, though, since we did The Bachelor. Back then, they only ate, like, chicken nuggets and french fries. Uh-huh, yeah. And I just wonder if that's still a thing. I think predominantly, yes, but I do think their palate has grown. Okay, that's just, this has been something I'm curious about.
Starting point is 00:31:47 And just a quick edit there, Ula is her husband, not her son. Ashley said son, Ula. But it's her husband, so if anybody is confused, That's so weird. How did that come out of my mouth? I think you're probably reading about a baby, and who knows, you know, minds are weird. I just want to make sure everybody understood her husband. My bad.
