This is the Ben and Ashley I, I almost famous podcast with IHeart Radio. It's the almost famous podcast. I'm here today with Ashley. And we're going to break down all the news happening in Bachelor Nation. And there's some big news, Ashley. There is good news this week.

I mean, when I mean, good news, I mean, we got some juicy scoop. This is not a pointless. headlines at all. Ben, dive into it. Bachelor alum Cassie Randolph, Mary's musician Brighton Reinhardt in an intimate Costa Rican wedding. Ben, like, obviously we're partial to our own weddings and our own wedding photos, but I could look at these wedding photos for I could frame them in my own house. That's how breathtaking Cassie looks, as she always does. I mean, she is one of the most stunning people that I've really ever seen in my life. And this is exactly what I

imagined her to look like as a bride. But just seeing it is just too much. It's so stunning. So she and Brighton, he's a musician. They were friends. They've been friends for 10 years. They've known each other 10 years. And they started dating in 2020. Dated for 10 years. He proposed in 2024. And the couple had 70 people at this wedding in Costa Rica like you mentioned. And it was officiated by both of their brothers, which is really cute. They said that they were both nervous but excited. And it was such a meaningful and personal touch to do that. And then, of course, what's dominating the headlines is that Michelle, Cassie's brother, Cassie's sister, who, you know, is part of the Yellowstone franchise. She has been seen out and about with Glenn Powell and Us Weekly is reporting that

they are dating casually. Somebody said that there was like, people were watching out basically to see if he would come to this wedding. He did not, which I think is expected. They've only been spotted like a time or two together. But anyway, the Randolph girls are just so stunning and I love looking at them and I'm happy for all their romantic successes. They have a really good looking family it's kind of i mean like they're just really unbelievable the brother is also gorgeous like isn't there is there four of them i don't know but it's like pretty stupid like it's one of those families that you're like this isn't real no absolutely this can't happen no next headline is bachelor alum mattie pruit is back in the headlines she is quoted in a podcast at first saying

she struggled to learn about being a submissive wife uh now it's her favorite thing. Okay. So, Ben, I'm going to, like, let you handle this headline. It was, it was quite something to see on the timeline last week. The quote is during a podcast that she and her husband Grant were doing with Bryce Crawford. Do you know who Bryce Crawford is? I do. Yeah, he's like a young, kind of like Christian speaker. Okay. That's what I figured. Okay, cool. So they were doing a podcast with him, and she said that she's learned a lot about being a submissive wife it was a challenge for me at first and now it's like my favorite thing i love talking about submission and this is going on top of an interview that she or a podcast that she did

back in 2024 where she said as a wife i'm called to submit i'm called to respect i'm called to honor i'm called to love i'm called to be committed and to keep our marriage bed pure and to make him other than god my greatest priority so then i mean I didn't, I read the comments section on a lot of these posts and I feel like I'm in the majority. Actually, the only comments that I ever, that I saw were, and I have to just agree. Please tell me where we are all not seeing something. Oh, goodness, this is such a loaded conversation. I know, I know, I know.

this could like be a whole podcast i'm i'm so sorry to put this on you but i can try my best are our christian speaker here on the podcast please do your best i'll do my best well okay let's start with giving a picture of when and where this was said it was said in a podcast it was kind of a quick comment jessica and i went back and listen to it because we're like huh okay thank you. Thanks for doing that. Bad podcast host and not giving myself context here. Yeah. And so I will give Maddie the benefit of the doubt by saying like context and headlines is never a thing. And so just like any clickbait, rage bait, we never get context. This was a little rage bait. And to be honest, so I'm actually going to go see Maddie this week and talk with her. And I have a lot of questions. I do. Wait, how are you going to talk to her? I'm going to be on a show.

Oh, you're going to fly down? Yeah, I have to do a lot. So I'm, you know, kind of in the secrets. I don't know, Ashley, how much I can say and not say, but I'll say, Iheart and I have been working on a project for the last six months that is going to be faith focused. Yeah. And it's not just in the podcast form.

And so it's going to be highlighting stories of faith and trying to do it in a way that allows the listener to not feel alone, but to, you know, experience everybody's stories of the love of Jesus. And so I am flying to Nashville to do a lot of that work. And then at the same time, because of the release of Alone and Plain Sight, I'm going to go on Maddie's show and talk about that a lot. Okay. So I have a lot of questions for Maddie. And Jessica and Madison are friends. Yeah. I've been around Madison.

I enjoy my time with her. I don't really know Grant, so I can't speak to that. Okay. I think, and I'll tell Maddie this, I'm hesitant to, I don't love the kind of quotes out of context

when it comes to the life of the sacred and talking about God because it never can be really summed up in one sentence. And so my, not only my belief, but I think what's biblically true, and what Maddie would agree with and Grant agree with is God is so much bigger than what we can communicate in one sentence or that we can kind of put our stake in the ground and be like, this is the way it should be and this is the way it is. God is so much bigger. And oftentimes we fall short talking about God and talking about ethics and morality and biblical interpretations.

because the God that we love and believe in to be real and active in this world is indescribable. You can't put words to it. And I think that's where people get in trouble is they try to put words to it. And then when they try to put words to it in a way that is so countercultural and that can come off so offensive to a majority of people, I think it gets the believer into trouble, and it gives a picture of God that is not true because there's no context for the conversation. So I think that's, and that's just in general, and I think that's the, like, the really, it's really hard. I think I'm sure it is. I don't know this yet, but as a host of a podcast talking about faith, it's going to be really hard to keep your words above reproach and to

keep your words in a responsible manner so that the public does not look at it and go, I want nothing to do with that God that you're talking about. It's really hard. And I'm sure it is. And I'll say that from Madison. I will also, though, say, Jessica and I do not practice a household of submission. And in fact, I would actually, I would be, and again, I could talk to Madison about that. I don't know if this is where our conversation would go. And I really don't have any desire to argue with her. It's her dance and her life and her marriage. And if it works for her and her family, honestly, my response is great. Every couple has their own dance. Now, do I believe that every couple needs to have the same dance as the couple next to you? No. And that's why I think

maybe this is kind of coming off offensively also. It's saying, hey, we need to all be submissive wives. And it's like, well, in this Christian household, my wife does not submit to me. and my authority, and we work great. And that's okay. Our household, I would like to believe, represents the heart of Jesus, which is an egalitarian household of equalness and compromise and self-sacrifice, just like Jesus did for all of us. We represent the heart of God in this household by communication, collaboration, by serving one another, compromising on things, discussing the big topics with each other. And there are quotes or there are verses in the Bible that you can kind of pull out about

submission. And before I get on to some long historical rabbit trail, those are mostly speaking to like a Greco-Roman structure because that's the times they're living in. Like husband, wife, slave, child. Like it went down this order of how a household operates in a Greco-Roman culture. We don't live in that culture anymore. So we don't live in that society anymore. And I think it's, it's a conversation worth having of, can we, what does it look like to adjust? And I actually could argue that a lot of these verses are not talking about submission in the way

that we understand it. I would actually say that a lot of these verses are talking about serving one another equally. But I don't really want to get into a whole conversation about, you know, biblical translation. Please get into the whole conversation with Maddie. I can't wait for this podcast. Well, I mean, I really, like I said, I don't really have an interest in arguing with her because I don't disagree with Madison

if she believes that's how their household best operates and that's how they both feel most loved and seen. What I don't want, what I wouldn't want, and not that I can even speak into this in them because that's their household, their marriage. They get to figure out how that dance looks and works for them. But what I don't want is anybody reading this and believing that when you get married, you become less than.

I would want any person seeing this, especially non-believers, and going, I want a Christian marriage or I want a marriage with somebody that follows Christ because it uplifts me to be a part of the image bearer of Christ, which is one of love, undeniable love. And but again, I don't know if I could even disagree with Maddie because I don't mind that they run their household this way. Like, it is what it is. It works for them. And that's great. I just, I think that's where I said at the beginning. It gets dangerous when you try to throw this biblical translation. And goodness, conservative Christians are going to jump all over me for this, biblical translation onto a universal type of marriage. And I think all of us should appreciate and respect. respect each other's own marriage dance, especially when it's healthy, working, and loving. Being a parent is basically a juggling act. Dinner, hockey practice, homework, a last-minute science project, and someone's always, always shouting for you from another room. So yeah, I'll take

Two brothers, one devout household, two radically different paths. Gabe Ortiz became one of the highest ranking law enforcement officers in Texas.

32 years, total law enforcement experience. But his brother Larry, he stayed behind and built an entirely different legacy. He was the head of this gang, and nobody was going to tell him what to do. You're going to push that line for the calls. Took us under his wing and showed us the game, as they call it. When Larry is murdered, Gabe is forced to confront the past he tried to leave behind and uncover secrets he never saw coming. My dad had a whole other life that we never knew about.

Like, my mom started screaming my dad's name, and I just heard, One gunshot. The Brothers Ortiz is a gripping true story about faith, family, and how two lives can drift so far apart and collide in the most devastating way.

I'm the director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health. And I want to tell you about my new podcast called The Mailroom. And I'm Jordan, the show's producer. And like a lot of guys, I haven't been to the doctor in many years. I'll be asking the questions we probably should be asking, but aren't. Because guys usually don't go to the doctor unless a piece of their face is hanging off or they've broken a bone. Depends which bone.

Well, that's true. Every week, we're breaking down the unique world of men's health, from testosterone and fitness to diets and fertility and things that happen in the bedroom. You mean sleep? Yeah, something like that, Jordan. We'll talk science without the jargon and get you real answers to the stuff you actually wonder about. It's going to be fun, whether you're 27, 97 or somewhere in between. Men's health is about more than six packs and supplements. It's about energy, confidence, and connection. We don't just want you to live longer. We want you to live better. So check out the mailroom

on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. What up, y'all? It's your boy, Kevin on stage. I want to tell you about my new podcast called Not My Best Month, where I talk to artists, athletes, entertainers, creators, friends, people I admire who had massive success about their massive failures. What did they mess up on? What is their heartbreak? And what did they learn from it? I got judged horribly. The judges were like, you're trash. I don't know how you got on the show. Boo, somebody had tomatoes. I'm kidding. But if they had tomatoes, they would have thrown the tomatoes. Let's be honest. We've all had those moments we'd rather forget. We bumped our head.

We made a mistake. The deal fell through. We're embarrassed. We failed, but this podcast is about that and how we made it through. So when they sat me down, they were kind of like, we got into the small talk, and they were just like, so what do you got? What? What ideas? And I was like, oh, no. What? Check out Not My Best Moment with me, Kevin on stage on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcast, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcast.

Okay. Did she give any examples on the podcast as to. what she means by submitting? Not, they didn't like dive into it, no. I mean, I think she hasn't passed. I haven't listened to past episodes. I think they haven't passed. It's usually,

I mean, I, again, I'm not going to attribute this to what Maddie said, but it's usually meaning like the husband has ultimate authority and final say. And so if he comes into the house and there's a decision to be made, everything kind of bounce off of him to

them. He kind of runs the house. The wife you know this also also can oftentimes flow into the wife is like a homemaker which you know goodness in my house I'm glad that's not the case just does great as an esthetician and it has a thousand different kind of funnels and lanes that it that it runs into once you start talking about like a wife's submission but I mean I guess this most simple term for those who have no a clue what they're talking about it's not like she submits in the way that like I think secular culture imagines it to be. It just means that the husband is the head of the household.

He is the one that makes final decisions say. And when he speaks, everybody listens. Yuck. I mean, like I said, everybody has their own dance, right? And if this works for them, if Maddie's like, hey, this is actually like really good for us as a couple. This makes me a better human. this makes me more of a better version of myself, a more joy-filled version of myself.

It gives me the freedom and all these things, all these benefits. And that's why I said, I wish there was like this longer explanation of what exactly this means and why. I think the big question there would be, why do you actually see that submission being helpful for you? Helpful for you.

But if it is, that's great. Yeah, if you are happier and you think that your household works, with you like this totally she said it was a struggle at first which makes me a little um i think that's where it gets a little weird for people so yeah exactly right because it's like oh so it's not natural to you so it's not what you wanted to do so you had to kind of submit to the fact that you were going to do it yeah and it felt unnatural for a while because maybe it is unnatural yeah and i think again there's some really great ways to argue biblically about how the bible isn't talking about a wife submission to their husband. Now, there's some very clear verses, but those same verses are

kind of sandwiched at times with conversations about slavery. And obviously, the Christian church over time has gotten very much, has gone very much against slavery. And so how could we not then readjust to say maybe Christian submission as a wife isn't, you know, helpful? And then also there's verses, like in Galatians, there's a beautiful verse about talking about how we were all one in Christ and verses about how we were all equal in Christ. And we're all image bearers. And we're all image bearers of Christ. And so I just think it gets messy. And that's why I started this was saying I don't necessarily see a problem with them running their household, how they want to run it. I have no ability to speak into that nor would I want to. It doesn't make sense to. I just think

it gets a little bit murky if we're trying to speak into people who are not believers when we say things without context. And unfortunately, headlines don't give context or explanation, especially on these really difficult topics that the church in general has argued about internally for thousands of years. And so that's just my point. I think it definitely blew up in the headlines. It definitely caused a stir.

and unfortunately for Maddie or fortunately because people are listening and paying attention this is just like it seems like we're getting one of these like once a month right now I know you know I have to say it's pretty entertaining to me some people in the comments are like people in the comments are like oh my god like everything I know about them is against my will

and I'm like I find this all very interesting it always leads a good conversation with you Ben yeah I mean I don't know at some point I think it does more harm than good Oh, well, yeah, there's that. You are correct from your perspective, yeah. From a gospel perspective.

Yeah. But yeah. From a gospel perspective. Gospel perspective versus gossip perspective. Yeah. I just want people to experience the freedom and the joy and the love of Jesus and to see that in who Jesus was on this earth, to see this, that, and who he was in the Christian story of where he died. for us and I think in between there we can really start to jack things up when we add

confusion to the story Ben I am just so excited for your podcast I every time I hear you talk about this stuff I'm like make sense make sense yeah it's 523 p.m. One of your kids is asking for a snack.

not to have more kids after harrowing C-section. Ben, did you read this? I have not, no, but I really am interested in the updates. Oh, my God, Ben. like I had like I felt weak like I felt lightheaded almost reading this she is truly a warrior and like they said if she wasn't at the hospital like she or the baby would have died so what happened was she was induced everything was going pretty slowly and then finally I don't know what it was whether they put up morbotosin or whatnot but oh they they gave her the epidural so that they could break her water because you don't want to break your water without a having an epidural. So they go and break the epidural, things start moving. And then she's pushing, and it's been three and a half hours. And then the doctor comes in to check her, which I'm very, I don't remember for my own births whether or not you ever would get checked within, like during

the pushing phase. Yes. I mean, that seems normal, but I am now speaking out of term. I really don't know because normally they check your cervix before you start pushing and then like once they see you are 10 centimeters then you start pushing so anyway she was with her midwife for the majority of this pushing experience after three and a half hours the doctor comes in and goes uh yeah we are going to we're bringing you into the OR right now you are um she started bleeding like she started like gushing blood and that was because the baby's arm like ruptured her uterus. So her uterus is broken inside her.

They get her to the OR and then they just, without, you know, being under or anything. And I'm hoping the epidural was still working. But there was something dramatic about that, too. They basically just had to, like, manhandle the baby out of, through the C-section. because the baby was stuck like in her there was like an arm stuck in the uterus so they had to like pull the baby out with it being like kind of in intertwined with her uterus oh my god like so traumatic um obviously just thank god that they're both here and both okay another thing that was super scary about it all was that he had a good amount of of time without having good oxygen flow. So they were worried that there was brain damage. But so far, everything looks good in that department. Thank God. So then they had to put him into a therapeutic hypothermia to protect his brain post birth for 72 hours. He had, they set his body

temperature at 92.3 degrees. And she didn't meet her son until he was two days old, got to hold him on day four once he was rewarmed and cleared of caesars and brain damage like can you even imagine no the amount of time than then having to worry that he had brain damage is like the worst part for me too there's just so much here i mean that is such a for some it's it's such a magical couple days i know and then you get like this this this new perspective, I guess, I think that's happening to me where I'm like, okay, you can't help but put yourself in that scenario. Exactly. It's so much different having a parent, being a parent, then hearing of the trauma birth. No wonder. I mean, they should have. They needed to. They took

time before this came out. But we're with you. We're thinking about you. In fact, I just did a city cruise in San Diego two days ago with Wells and Chris. And somebody asked me about Crystal and updates on her during the question and answer. And honestly, I didn't have one. I didn't know at the time. And so I'm glad we're getting those updates out there. So, and then to answer, like, the headline of it all, they were able to miraculously repair her uterus.

She went under immediately after the C-section. And even though it's repaired, they say that it's best that she doesn't carry another child because, you know, it could very easily. burst again. Now, if they want to look into surrogacy, I'm sure that that could be an option. But good luck to, you know, we're just so happy that they're home and happy and healthy and safe now. Yeah. I mean, this is, you know, it hits home too, because this is one of the, it's not exactly the same, but it's not too far off of why I'm an only child. And so, yeah, my mom kind of went through some of these, not quite the exact same, but not too far

off scenarios and complications when you were when you were born oh huge yeah you've never heard this actually just side note my dad had cancer i knew that hoskins lymphoma and my mom was bedridden and they were side by side in the hospital for like i mean it was weeks like eight weeks or something when you were born she was in the hospital for eight week yeah wait before she was born we'll have to talk about this another time for sure it's crazy because i knew about your dad i thought that was the reason that they only had one. No, there was a lot that went on in that. But yeah, I mean, here's a cool part is it sounds like everybody is happy and healthy and back home,

and we got to celebrate that for them and wish nothing but, you know, upward health and peace as time continues. Another story about babies, we covered this story a few years ago, and yet he decided to do it. again. What a sicko, honestly. Bachelors Ari Lyondike Jr. makes another vasectomy appointment after baby number four because, hey, if you get one vasectomy, why not get two? So funny. So he does make an amazing Instagram real. It's a video of him to Adele being a Kolo, you know, whatever the song goes. It's me. And then, And he goes, I'd like to get another vasectomy. This is, you know, like the overlay, snip, snip, snip, and so funny.

Basically, Ari, you know, after the three kids, he decided to get the vasectomy. Last year, September, we were at Alon's wedding, and he was all telling us how they had reversed the vasectomy, how it's like a four-hour-long surgery. And, well, this is, they reversed it successfully, obviously. and now this is his third time, you know, because he called to get it and then first it, and now he's calling again to get it again. Goodness gracious. Those two, they can just, I mean, good things he's getting it because it feels like they could just pump out as many babies as they want to have.

Like every time they pump and thrust, she's getting pregnant. That's wild. Yeah. Yeah, they seem like they have to have their vasectomy necessary family. It's a necessary. Did Jared get one? Well, Dawson took seven years. years, seven years, seven years, seven months to conceive and Hayden took two. And technically I like

egg met sperm on try number one because I had the chemical pregnancy for month one. So I mean, his record is pretty good. But he is going to get it. Have we been thinking about it? Yes. We've definitely been thinking about it because I want to get off birth control. I feel like I get so many headaches with it. I've been on it for so long. You're like not really supposed to be on it like in your upper thirties and such so um yeah it's definitely a thought it does feel like that weird finale feeling and i was just like a month or so ago it's like it's not a big deal like if i were like 40 and we like decided to do something like i've yeah like i think that's the way we would go with it anyway i would be like we'll just pull your sperm out of your balls and we'll do it in a

pizza dish it'll be fine it's not a big deal or like i ui or whatnot and then um I was recently told that you definitely do not want to pull the sperm out of the balls like that because apparently it's way more painful than even reversing the vasectomy. So anyway, Ben, we do have to wrap this. I've got some wifely duties to attend to wink, wink. I love, oh, I don't know what that means. That was like a, that was like supposed to be like an all-encompassing moment. like taking your headline, taking the fact that I'm like housewives. No. I thought he was snapping at you. Like, come back here, baby. The final headline is this. It's just congratulations to Trista and Ryan said her on 22 years of marriage. Absolutely wild. Massive, massive deal.
