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.
Let's start with a quick puzzle.
The answer is Ken Jennings' appearance on The Puzzler with A.J. Jacobs.
The question is, what is the most entertaining listening experience in podcast land?

I guess they would be Kenspiracy theorists.

Betrayal Weekly is back for season two with brand new stories.
The detective comes driving up fast and just like screeches right in the parking lot.
I swear I'm not crazy, but I think he poisoned me.
I feel trapped.
My breathing changes.
I realize, wow, like he is not a mentor.
He's pretty much a monster.
But these aren't just stories of destruction.
They're stories of survival.
I'm going to tell my story, and I'm going to hold my head up.
Listen to Betrayal Weekly on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
It's Ido Part 2, the podcast where we talk about finding love the second time around.
I am one of your celebrity mentors, of course, Bob Guinea.
Now, you know me from the Today Show, The Bachelor, and, of course, the I-Heart podcast,
almost famous to OGs, with my former girlfriend and Bachelorette superstar Trista Sutter-Nay-Renn.
Now, it's Valentine's Day, which means love is in the air.
So what better way to celebrate love than do our own version of the dating game?
which I am super excited about.
We have, of course, an amazing single woman
who you will meet just in a few seconds here.
And three really great single men,
all buddies of mine, by the way,
who are here on the line,
who are waiting with baited breath,
reality TV pros,
that are looking for a love connection,
and we are going to find it.
So we're going to play a version of the dating game here,
and this is, of course, going to be,
hopefully, ending in a major love connection.
So our lovely single woman today is a former model,
known for being a cast member on the Real Housewives of New York
and Ultimate Girl's Trip
and now a very successful realtor.
She has got legs for days.
She loves horses, skiing, and baking.
But don't take her to any scary islands.
Please welcome Kelly Ben Simone.
Bob!
How are you?
Like your haircut.
Looks good.
Thanks.
Yeah, I went really short this time around.
So I've got a couple trips to the sun.
I figured I'd get some all over tan without sweating in my face too much.
But thank you.
I love that.
Legs for days?
Like, what did it?
Legs for days.
It's true.
Oh.
It's true.
All you got to do is Google
Kelly Ben Simone.
That's the first thing that pops up.
Legs for days.
Are you ready to play the game?
I am the dating game.
The dating game.
Oh, I'm so excited.
I happen to know all three of these gentlemen personally.
I will vouch for each of them.
I like them all very, very much.
Now, bachelor number one,
our first bachelor is a retired finance executive.
When he's not golfing, he's either at spend class or enjoying the spa.
Bachelor number one, you can unmute yourself real quick, but don't go on the camera and go ahead
and say hello to Kelly, please.
Hello, Kelly.
Hi, hi, Bachelor number one.
It's so nice to meet you virtually.
There you go.
All right, thank you, Bachelor number one.
Now, our second Bachelor is a sales director who is considered a social butterfly.
I can vouch for that.
He loves ice cream, loves going to music festivals.
and really happens to enjoy stage coach.
Bachelor number two,
want to you on mute yourself
and you can meet Kelly as well.
Right, Kelly.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Oh, how are you?
Oh, how are you?
Wow, these voices, holy cow.
All right, now batch number three,
our third bachelor is an emergency room doctor
who loves the Beatles
and he believes in chivalry
when it comes to dating.
Bachelor number three,
why don't you go ahead and say hello?
In the words of Joey,
how you doing how you doing oh there you go joey from friends you're looking really good
you go thank you bachelor number three don't get too chatty on us brother okay so you've gotten a chance
to hear the beautiful velvety voices of our three bachelors so now kelly uh before we get into the
question and answer portion of this whole thing what are you looking for in a guy i mean you know
you're pretty self-sufficient. I think of Kelly Ben-Simon as someone who doesn't need a man but might
want to have a man in her life. Tell us what you're looking for. So that's interesting that
you just said that I'm someone that you think that doesn't need a man. I, of course, want to have
companionship. And, you know, I've always wanted a family for my family. And so it's not that I need
a man. I have great, great, great role models in my life that are male. My father was amazing. I have a twin
brother. Bob, he would love. He's so charismatic like you. So I am very used to very charismatic,
charming, you know, Renaissance men. And that's what I'm looking for in a partner. I mean, at this
stage of my life, I just want to have the best time ever. And I want to share everything with
them. I don't want to just be on my own, you know, on Scary Island. I want to be having the
best time with someone that I care about and I want to be able to like, you know, care about his
kids and I want him to care about mine. And I just want to build a family for my family.
Oh, I love that. I love that saying, build a family for my family. I think that is really
beautiful. Well, I will tell you what you described, I believe you will find in these guys.
guys. I've gotten to know them pretty well. And I think what you're describing is out there.
It might even very well be on this call for you. So, you know how the game is played, right?
The old school dating game. Basically, we're going to allow you to ask a series of questions.
You keep track, whether it be in your head or on paper, it doesn't matter to us as to which
answers you seem to jive with the best. Just remember when you ask these questions, you make sure
you say, you know, bachelor number one, bash number two, bash number three. So they know who
you're talking to. And at the end, we will, we will, we will make sure that we get a chance to
kind of do a little summation and give you a chance to choose your bachelor date. All right. So
Kelly, Kelly Ben-Simon, it is time to possibly meet your love connection. Whenever you're ready,
take it away. Okay. Thank you, Bob. You're welcome. So Bachelor number three, for our first date,
what would you do to make me laugh? Well, Kelly, there's a lot of things I could do to make
laugh, but one of my unknown talents is that I haven't an act for knowing all the words to most
of the TV shows from the 60s and 70s. So I could serenade you with anything from Welcome Back
Cotter to the Beverly Hillbillies to Gilligan's Island. So I think you would enjoy that. If that doesn't
make you laugh, at least you'd laugh at me.
So TV theme songs. I like it. Oh, my God. I love that. Bachelor number two, what would you do on our first date to make me laugh?
I just think you being with me is going to be such a fun time. You're just going to laugh with me. We'll be skipping down the street. We'll be having fun with the people around us. And just the fun that we'll have with each other will make you laugh itself.
So I like to skip.
I'm a very playful of human.
I'm professional in my professional world, but in my real world, I'm very, very playful.
Okay, Bachelor number one, what would you do on our first day to make me laugh?
Well, you know, after hearing these two guys talking about the things he knows from Welcome
Back, Cotter, fun, fun, fun.
Skipping a lot of fun also.
I think a lot of smiles and laughter.
touching with each other's hands and just enjoy the moment.
I think it's very important that we enjoy the moment and find something good and funny
about those moments.
I love that.
I love that.
Okay, Bachelor number one, because you gave me such a sweet and authentic response,
boxers or briefs?
Definitely boxers
Bachelor number two
Boxers or briefs
Oh definitely boxers
I gave up
Tidy Whitties were given up
I think in the middle school
sometime I have no idea when
But never again
Bachelor number three
Boxers or briefs
Well I'm going to go against these guys
because I am a Calvin Klein, black, brief guy.
Boozy!
Okay, Bachelor number three, because you gave me such a provocative response.
If you were here to see me at a restaurant, give me your best pickup line.
I would, maybe I'd do this, because I'm a physician.
I'd go up and say, your heart.
is making me race, and I need to go to the ER right away.
Fire up the engines.
Okay, Bachelor number two, if you were to see me at a restaurant, give me your best pickup line.
Hey, excuse me, I seem to have lost my phone number.
Can I have yours?
What?
I lost my phone number.
Oh, that's a good one.
And Bachelor number one, if you were to see me at a restaurant, give me your best pick of wine.
Darling, you are absolutely stunning.
Have I seen you, I think I've seen you someplace before.
Have we met?
No, maybe, I think I've, where have we met before?
And to strike a conversation in that way.
I like that.
That's what I would do.
Just going in for the intimacy, trying to find out.
how we know each other and then putting me off guard.
That's why.
I'm like, oh, my God.
Do I not know you from somewhere?
Kelly, you're so good at this.
You're such a sweet Bachelorette.
Okay.
All right.
So that was so sweet Bachelor number one that I'm going to ask you the next question.
If you were an animal in the zoo.
What animal would you be and why?
That's a good one.
The big brown teddy bear, the bear in the zoo.
Playful, might even be a panda bear.
Oh, that's so cute.
I love that.
Pets are so cute.
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, 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?
To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?
I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke,
but that really was my reality nine years ago.
I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different.
On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear.
Well, 22nd of July 2015,
a 23-year-old man had killed his family.
And then he came to my house.
So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?
A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage.

Okay, Bachelor number two, if you were an animal in the zoo, what animal would you
My favorite animal is a tiger, and I think I relate to the tiger.
It's a beautiful animal, and no laughing from the ghost.
No, it's a beautiful animal, but can be very strong, but yet also very sleek slash sneaky, you know, in the grass.
coming up on you, you don't see me coming, and then you just love me.
So protective.
I love that.
Okay, bachelor number three, if you were an animal in the zoo, what animal would you be in
why?
Well, I think I would be a cheetah, because a cheetah is the fastest animal in the wild,
and that way I'd be able to chase you down at any moment.
moment.
Car up the engines.
Chase me down.
Hunt me.
I would take you down.
I wouldn't necessarily eat your friends.
Oh, boy.
Oh, my God.
You guys are so much fun.
Like Simba.
Bob, like Simba.
Bob, I am loving this.
This is so good.
It's good.
I told you you're going to like these guys.
Batch number three, why aren't you married?
I'm not married because I haven't met you yet.
There you go.
Okay.
That's number one.
Why aren't you married?
Okay.
So, you know, being the matured and well-traveled man,
I have to tell you, one thing I've learned is don't chase.
It will come to you.
It's like a professional athlete who's in a slump and the game has to come to him
in order for him to get back in rhythm.
And so I'm waiting for mine to arrive and to come to me as opposed to chasing.
You know, I love that because that's how I feel.
I feel like the minute you start to chase something, then it's just like,
the energy, I mean, I don't need to be like all energy, but I really genuinely agree with that,
that when you chase people, they're just like, they can feel the chase.
They can feel the chase.
Okay.
If you were shippered on an island, how would you make me feel safe, Bachelor number two?
Well, that's easy.
We would get our little hut all set up, number one.
I would keep you protected from the wild from the other tigers that were out there.
the fire would be there.
I would go, we would have our own little cozy spot safe from everyone else.
And I would hold you in my arms and just keep you warm at night.
It would be very romantic as well.
Oh, I love that you're handy.
I mean, not handsy.
Although, if you want that, give you a call.
What are you about?
Question number three, what would you do to make me feel safe on a shipwreck down on an island?
Well, when you talk about being shipped right on an island, it reminds me of the movie Cast Away with Tom Hanks.
And the first thing as I would do is, I'd learn how to make fire.
I've made fire.
From there, I'd be able to go out.
I'd be able to catch fish.
We would eat.
We'd have lots of warmth.
And then I'd have you instead of Spalding.
If you saw the mood, you'll understand.
If not, I just fell flat on my face.
So if we're on the shipwrecked on this island and you make,
you make a fire for me, you okay?
And I have like a big bag of luggage with all my clothes in case I have to
do something more comfortable.
I'm really glad about that.
How do you feel about that bachelor number two?
It might bring a huge bag with me on our deserted island.
Well, yeah, you're not deserted until you're there, right?
So obviously you were preparing to go somewhere else.
I like that.
Exactly.
I have no problem with you bringing that bag, but you won't need any of it while we're on there.
It's just the two of us.
Will you carry it for me?
Of course I carry it.
Carrying you first.
On your shoulders.
Why don't you, Bachelor, number one?
How do you feel about lots and lots of luggage?
Not, like, emotional.
I'm talking, like, real luggage.
Not baggage.
Yeah, not baggage.
Yeah, thank you for that clarification, because I was going to ask, you mean, that's it.
Those skeletons in the closet?
Yeah, no, no, no.
I don't bring baggage with me.
I've been on ID Part 2 for too long.
I can't bring it on anymore.
It's only on, only a carry-on.
Kelly, I absolutely love that response.
But here's what I would do to ensure you'd be safe.
I would keep you close to me.
I'd hold your hand.
I'd keep you close to me at every turn and everything that I'd be doing.
You would be right there with me, supporting and ensuring that you felt comfortable.
As far as the luggage goes, I think that would be wonderful and a great way for us to play and act out in different roles or different things.
associated with the things you brought to where?
Let's play that out.
So the time would take its course over the course
to be laughing out as if we're playing around.
It's a real playing.
Going out to dinner.
I'll be like, okay, Bachelor, number one,
you be your favorite housewife
and I will be my least favorite housewife.
I would be my absolute boyfriend.
So blessed to bring humor to it and try to be the housewife.
Oh, my God.
I feel so sorry for you guys.
You're like, who is this housewife?
Oh, my God.
Bachelor number one, can you cook a meal?
First, it's a two-for.
Can you cook a meal in 30 minutes?
And number two, describe the meal.
So the short answer is yes.
within 30 minutes
and the second
part of that would
be pasta
with your choice
of
of meats
or shrimp or whatever
but that's
the route I would go as pasta
with a great bottle of wine
that we could talk over while
everything is prepping
but it would be

picture of memory of that scene where they're like
making the um the pasta so cute i love that okay

Where were we getting salmon?
But like, whenever they had salmon, I was like, I'll have it.

meaning.
I don't get to tell you what I would make you for dinner yet.
All right, you can ask.
You can tell me.
I don't know, steal from bachelor number two, but it would be a grilled filet at 125 degrees
internal temperature, followed by grilled salmon, seven minutes on the skins.
side and flip it over to it the other, cooked at 445, that would be, along with that,
there would be capricie salad, grilled asparagus, the same time, sweet potato fries, and a very
nice glass of chardonnay, if that's what you'd like.
Oh, 145.
Now you're intimidating.
I ended up in 30 minutes.

I kind of already alluded to it, and that is just remembering
the theme song, like, I don't even just at the beginning.
I know the whole things.
And it's, I have a lot of worthless TV information in my brain, in my hippocampus,
because that's where I have a really big hippocampus, just to let you know.
That's where memory is stored.
I love you to have a really good memory.
I have a really good memory too.
And I think it's like, it's a blessing and a curse sometimes.
I remember everything.
How about that I knew that Bob got a haircut?
I'm very alert, and I remember literally everything.
Bachelor number two, what's your secret talent?
My secret talent is probably just making friends.
Oh.
I can go out and meet people and enjoy life with the people that I'm around.
Oh, you guys are such mindful, kind men.
Oh, my God.
Bachelor number one, what is you?
your secret talent? My secret talent is the ability to put a smile on someone's face when they are
not in a good place, being able to inspire and uplift someone spiritually and just put them in a
happy place. I think I have something special in that way. I love that. I really love that you
just said that I'm like that as well. I try to always like my dad used to call me a sunshine
because he was like you're always uplift people and always try to make them see
the better good which is I love that. I love that. All right. So Bachelor number one since
your sunshine describe your kissing style in one word. Oh, in one word. There's so many things
that came to mind.

What's your kissing style?
Well,
two men stole my first two,
so I've got to come up with the third one.
I'll just say one kiss and you'd be mine.

That's a lot more than one word,
but we'll take it.
Okay, passionate.
Passionate, too.
Passionate song.
Passionate song.
That was funny.
I mean, that's the same ones.
We heard those before.

love was made from me and you
there you go just like a TV theme song
my oldest daughter just literally called me on FaceTime
she must have been like somebody is singing to my mom
and I have to know who's in what the song is
Oh my God. That was amazing. You guys all are so good. Your voices are incredible. No crackling. Holy cow. All right. Bachelor number one, because you came up with your own song, if I were feeling sick, how would you nurse me back to help?
Okay. So, first of all, I tuck you in with a nice, soft comforting blanket, your most favorite blanket. I would then
give you some of my special tea with honey and lemons freshly squeezed, have you sip on that
and serenade you to sleep while I sit there and wait for you to wake up and we'd repeat
that process until you got better. Wow. Well, man, that was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
Now, that's going to be our last answer of the day.
Sorry, Bachelor 2 and number 3 that you don't get to tell Kelly how you'd nurse her back to good health.
But that was a beautiful answer.
I got to be honest with you.
I liked it.
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.
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 camp.
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 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.

What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?
I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago.
I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different.
On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear.
Well, 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family.
And then he came to my house.
So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?
