- 0:00Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
- 0:03Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
- 0:06Speaker 2: We're back in the Almost Famous podcast with a lot
- 0:09Speaker 2: of news happening in bachelor world. Before we get into headlines, though,
- 0:13Speaker 2: since we're always online, I want to know what is
- 0:17Speaker 2: on your TikTok algorithm these days, Ashley. I was. We
- 0:21Speaker 2: flew this week to see my family, spent a lot
- 0:27Speaker 2: of time on social media, kind of as the plane
- 0:30Speaker 2: was getting ready to take off, and it was funny.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Jessica was doing the same her algorithm. My algorithm looked
- 0:37Speaker 2: very different. Mine is golf and pretty much golf's exclusive.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Hers is puppies and babies and funny videos of husbands.
- 0:46Speaker 3: Wait, she doesn't have skincare all over her stuff.
- 0:49Speaker 2: I think she does, but I think that's more on
- 0:52Speaker 2: her like business page, so I think she's specific about
- 0:57Speaker 2: when she's on her personal page what she's looking at
- 1:00Speaker 2: compared to when she's on her business page.
- 1:02Speaker 3: Okay, well, mine is all mom stuff, Housewives of Rhode
- 1:07Speaker 3: Island all like the bloggers pop up, and then I
- 1:12Speaker 3: get some some Broadway stuff, some Aaron Debate stuff. I
- 1:17Speaker 3: have a lot of Jonas that has been a little
- 1:20Speaker 3: bit tamer recently. Just because they're not on tour. But
- 1:25Speaker 3: if there's Jonas news, that'll always pop up to the top,
- 1:28Speaker 3: and then momb stuff as well. Yeah, lots of parenting jokes.
- 1:34Speaker 2: I feel like I've honed in on my algorithm. Golf.
- 1:37Speaker 2: That's really what I want to watch, like watching golf swings.
- 1:40Speaker 2: I like watching golf courses. Heather and Easton are with
- 1:43Speaker 2: us today behind the scenes. I'm very curious about both
- 1:49Speaker 2: their algorithms, what pops up.
- 1:52Speaker 3: I feel like Heather's has to just be reality TV.
- 1:56Speaker 4: It is a lot. It is a lot.
- 1:58Speaker 5: I do have now a lot of Island Housewives content
- 2:02Speaker 5: coming at me, which is great, but something that I've
- 2:04Speaker 5: actually shared with Easton, so I feel like we have
- 2:07Speaker 5: a little bit of.
- 2:07Speaker 4: Overlap on our algorithms.
- 2:10Speaker 5: Is an account called missus Fallout. So it's actually a
- 2:16Speaker 5: account where a woman opens canned food from canned foods
- 2:24Speaker 5: from fallout shelters, like from World War two, Like will
- 2:27Speaker 5: open like a packaged meal or water.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Or a brownie from like a hundred years ago.
- 2:35Speaker 5: She sometimes eats it, like takes a bite out of
- 2:38Speaker 5: it off camera.
- 2:39Speaker 3: Imagine off camera. Why does she just give us the entertainment?
- 2:43Speaker 5: It's only hands, so like we only see the hands
- 2:46Speaker 5: opening the cans and like pouring out the food. So
- 2:50Speaker 5: that's like one weird thing that's on my algorithm that
- 2:53Speaker 5: I have now you know, sent that to Easton because
- 2:57Speaker 5: I felt like he could appreciate it. And honestly, the
- 3:01Speaker 5: weirdest thing that's also on my algorithm, well, I follow
- 3:06Speaker 5: Frank the tank a overweight docs.
- 3:08Speaker 4: In on his weight loss, his weight lass journey.
- 3:12Speaker 5: But also weirdly, I don't know what this says about me,
- 3:16Speaker 5: but so much police body cam footage, you get a
- 3:21Speaker 5: lot of it.
- 3:22Speaker 2: It's always it's always like it always kind of hooks
- 3:25Speaker 2: mem Easton, do you do you probably have like I have,
- 3:29Speaker 2: actually no idea.
- 3:31Speaker 3: Easton has the most eclectic algorithm out there.
- 3:34Speaker 6: I'm sure there's a lot of like I see a
- 3:38Speaker 6: lot of amateur magicians on mine. Uh it's like very amateur,
- 3:43Speaker 6: like not really pulling it off, but like giving it.
- 3:45Speaker 6: They're all a lot of let's say, I'm just going
- 3:48Speaker 6: through it right now. A guy, oh, guys making making
- 3:53Speaker 6: like gloves that have like a batter ring and a
- 3:56Speaker 6: super soaker, and like a bunch of like making like
- 4:00Speaker 6: you know, superhero costumes that kind of thing that's cool.
- 4:04Speaker 4: DIY superhero stuff.
- 4:06Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it's pretty. There's a I just got one
- 4:08Speaker 6: of a robotic arm that golfs like a lot of
- 4:12Speaker 6: like robots.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Nerds stuff.
- 4:14Speaker 6: That's what my algorithm is.
- 4:15Speaker 3: It's all nerd stuff. I forgot. Mine has a lot
- 4:18Speaker 3: of plastic surgery.
- 4:20Speaker 5: Ooh, that's good, Ashley. I actually do really enjoy plastic
- 4:24Speaker 5: surgery videos. I will say somehow I was. My algorithm
- 4:30Speaker 5: was taken over by a comedian named Morgan J who
- 4:34Speaker 5: I have never watched. Good for Morgan, he does CrowdWork
- 4:40Speaker 5: where he puts auto tune on a microphone and he
- 4:43Speaker 5: goes and talks to the audience members and makes it
- 4:46Speaker 5: sound like a song. I think that he's like, if
- 4:49Speaker 5: he's not big, he's on the verge of being big.
- 4:52Speaker 5: But he has literally infiltrated my algorithm. And I have
- 4:55Speaker 5: not looked into his comedy whatsoever. But I have watched
- 4:59Speaker 5: so many videos of him doing crowd work.
- 5:02Speaker 3: See, they just knew that you would think that he
- 5:04Speaker 3: was funny. Maybe maybe they.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Know you better than hear yourself. The algorithm is a
- 5:09Speaker 2: weird place. Team. I would love for you to comment
- 5:12Speaker 2: under our next video and tell us what's on your algorithm?
- 5:15Speaker 2: Anything funky, weird, embarrassing. All of it's acceptable here at
- 5:19Speaker 2: the Almost Famous Podcast. We're not here to judge. We're
- 5:21Speaker 2: here to learn. Speaking of learning, we have a lot
- 5:25Speaker 2: to learn about what's happening in Bachelor World this week,
- 5:27Speaker 2: and let's start with a really good headline. The Bachelor's
- 5:30Speaker 2: Becca Kuferin and Thomas Jacobs welcome baby number two, sharing
- 5:36Speaker 2: the newborn's name, and it can the name continues a
- 5:42Speaker 2: very sweet family tradition.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Yes, what is that? Okay? So there are a second
- 5:46Speaker 3: baby was born on April tenth. The baby's name is
- 5:50Speaker 3: Stephen John. They write, welcome to the world, Stephen John.
- 5:54Speaker 3: Our little honey bait cam arrived on Easter Sunday and
- 5:57Speaker 3: he's made our family whole and we love you more
- 6:02Speaker 3: than you will ever know. Oh wonder if that means
- 6:05Speaker 3: they're done? Anyway? Here, I am just like everybody else.
- 6:08Speaker 4: Are you do gonna have a third?
- 6:10Speaker 3: Ah? Anyway? What's important here is that Steven is Becca's
- 6:17Speaker 3: late father's name, so obviously this is a dedication to him.
- 6:22Speaker 3: Now I wonder who Benny is named after, because you
- 6:25Speaker 3: would think I mean here, I am speculating everything. But
- 6:30Speaker 3: usually you named the firstborn after family, But Benny, I'm
- 6:34Speaker 3: sure is very important to them as well.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Benny's a good name. I'll just you know, I'm a Benjamin.
- 6:41Speaker 2: But we're not far. We're like name cousins, so I
- 6:45Speaker 2: don't know.
- 6:45Speaker 3: Hey, congratulations, I think his name is Benjamin Good.
- 6:48Speaker 2: It's a good name, powerful name.
- 6:49Speaker 3: It's because you guys were on tour together so long.
- 6:52Speaker 2: Yeah, she did tell me that she named it after me.
- 6:54Speaker 2: That was the importance of that name.
- 6:57Speaker 3: No, you guys, let's be serious. It is very sweet
- 6:59Speaker 3: that she is named their second born, Stephen John, after
- 7:03Speaker 3: her dad, who we know that had a great effect
- 7:06Speaker 3: on her. She talked a lot about it during her season,
- 7:09Speaker 3: the loss of her dad.
- 7:11Speaker 2: Switching gears a little bit. Bachelorette's Ashley Ebert felt stress
- 7:17Speaker 2: from JP Rosenbaum and the quote is the marriage would
- 7:21Speaker 2: kill her.
- 7:22Speaker 3: This was something. This came up on my Instagram algorithm.
- 7:27Speaker 3: So it's been six years since they announced their separation,
- 7:33Speaker 3: and she said an appearance on our podcast and our
- 7:37Speaker 3: related podcast I Do Part two, she said, I felt,
- 7:42Speaker 3: you know how a lot of women hold in a
- 7:43Speaker 3: lot of stress and it leads to an autoimmune disease.
- 7:47Speaker 3: I'm like, this marriage is gonna kill me. It's gonna
- 7:51Speaker 3: kill me. She also said that like her saying this
- 7:55Speaker 3: was not an offense to her ex. She said, we
- 7:58Speaker 3: talk all the time. I even tell him that I
- 8:02Speaker 3: said that I thought our marriage was gonna kill me.
- 8:06Speaker 3: I made the decision to split because I care about
- 8:09Speaker 3: myself and my health a lot, especially for my kids,
- 8:12Speaker 3: my longevity, and to be there for my kids. They
- 8:15Speaker 3: did get a couples therapy beforehand. She said she really
- 8:18Speaker 3: wanted to see if there was any way to fix
- 8:20Speaker 3: the issues. They both really did. But despite how terrible
- 8:25Speaker 3: she was feeling, she minuted she was curious if the
- 8:28Speaker 3: problems they were focusing were like normal, then they of
- 8:33Speaker 3: course ended up not and they didn't want to stick
- 8:36Speaker 3: around for the kids because like they don't they shouldn't
- 8:39Speaker 3: be around unhealthy tension. So that is a that's what
- 8:45Speaker 3: we got from that. But if you want to listen
- 8:47Speaker 3: to Ashley explain how marriage affected her, you know, her physically,
- 8:54Speaker 3: you can listen to the rest of that interview on
- 8:56Speaker 3: the podcast that is on our feed. I do part
- 8:59Speaker 3: TI too.
- 9:11Speaker 2: A bunch of people just got back from Coachella, and
- 9:15Speaker 2: one of Bachelor Nation's favorites is bringing up the headliner
- 9:20Speaker 2: of Coachella. Andrew Spencer reveals Justin Bieber DMed him about
- 9:25Speaker 2: the Bachelorette while at Coachella.
- 9:29Speaker 3: Well, this is a little bit of a misleading headline,
- 9:32Speaker 3: so Justin DMD Andrew back in the day when he
- 9:36Speaker 3: was on Katie Season. Now, Andrew just revealed this DM
- 9:42Speaker 3: after seeing Justin perform at Coachella. He said it was
- 9:46Speaker 3: a full circle moment. So when he was on Katie Season,
- 9:50Speaker 3: it was very very cool. And I guess Andrew had
- 9:53Speaker 3: told me about this in private, knowing that like I
- 9:56Speaker 3: would think it was super cool, or maybe he's on
- 10:00Speaker 3: a podcast or something. But anyway, it's getting traction again
- 10:02Speaker 3: because Andrew just posted the DM to his Instagram. The
- 10:07Speaker 3: instagram from Justin Bieber said, my boy, my wife and
- 10:11Speaker 3: I just watched you on the Bachelorette. Just wanted to
- 10:15Speaker 3: say you were our fave. Wishing you the best of
- 10:19Speaker 3: luck on your journey and we know that you will
- 10:22Speaker 3: find someone perfect for you. Justin responded by saying he
- 10:27Speaker 3: also continued to say keep going and putting yourself out there.
- 10:31Speaker 3: Proud of you, bro. And then Andrew responded by saying,
- 10:34Speaker 3: appreciate it, man, it means a lot coming from you.
- 10:37Speaker 3: No doubt my person's out there. If you know anyone
- 10:40Speaker 3: that's a match, let your boy know. And then he
- 10:45Speaker 3: hearted it. Justin hearted it. And now Katie Thurston has
- 10:48Speaker 3: seen this, and in the comments she was like, for
- 10:51Speaker 3: some reason, I'm feeling embarrassed and knowing that those two
- 10:54Speaker 3: are pissed that I sent you home. I'm sorry to
- 10:57Speaker 3: the Beeber family. Yeah, it is so crazy. It is
- 11:01Speaker 3: so cool. I mean, that is a big deal for
- 11:04Speaker 3: Justin Bieber to feel so much about you that he
- 11:07Speaker 3: reached out.
- 11:08Speaker 2: It is It's sweet, so cool.
- 11:10Speaker 3: Yeah, it's super sweet, very.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Nice of him. Ashley, a friend of yours, very good friend,
- 11:15Speaker 2: Carly Waddell reveals if there's any chance of rekindling relationship
- 11:21Speaker 2: with ex Evan Bass.
- 11:24Speaker 3: This really came from a Q and A where somebody
- 11:26Speaker 3: was asking about like her relationships right now after she
- 11:30Speaker 3: broke up with her ex fiance Todd. She said that
- 11:32Speaker 3: she doesn't know what's up with Todd, she doesn't care.
- 11:36Speaker 3: And then somebody also asks any chance of rekindling things
- 11:41Speaker 3: with Evan and she goes she goes, I don't know.
- 11:46Speaker 3: I'm about to see him at a singing event for
- 11:48Speaker 3: Ella for Bella at their school. Should I make my move?
- 11:52Speaker 3: Just kidding? Well, she's being funny there, but I can
- 11:57Speaker 3: swear on my dog's life they're not getting back together.
- 12:02Speaker 2: So no chance, no chance for the Carly Evan rekindling, No,
- 12:07Speaker 2: absolutely zero. Maria g Charity Lawson and more Bachelor Nation
- 12:14Speaker 2: stars are going to be seen on vander Pump Villa.
- 12:18Speaker 3: Yeah, this is super interesting, So vander Pump Villa. Even

- 13:26Speaker 3: So we shall see if this will be like an
- 13:30Speaker 3: ongoing collaboration, because you know that Hulu and Disney and
- 13:33Speaker 3: ABC are loving their crossovers right now. We saw one
- 13:36Speaker 3: crossover recently that didn't really work out well though.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Who who oh yeah, the Bachelorette.
- 13:43Speaker 3: We're talking about the Bachelor, so obvious you forget.
- 13:47Speaker 2: So how when they come to the villa, Ashley, are

- 13:52Speaker 2: the whole season?
- 13:53Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 13:54Speaker 3: Yeah, they stop in. It's like a villa where they
- 13:57Speaker 3: like stay for an episode or so.
- 13:59Speaker 1: Oh.
- 13:59Speaker 3: Reality is often that makes sense.
- 14:03Speaker 2: Hakeem Moulten and girlfriend Monica share gender reveal video.
- 14:08Speaker 3: I just cannot believe that this woman is pregnant. After
- 14:11Speaker 3: he was on our podcast being like so funny about
- 14:14Speaker 3: their relationship and how like her parents don't like him.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Yeah, it was wild. I'd recommend anybody to go back
- 14:19Speaker 2: and listen to that.
- 14:23Speaker 3: So they are, they're just funny. They have They announced
- 14:28Speaker 3: the news on April Fool's Day that the pregnancies no
- 14:30Speaker 3: joke and like they did the gender reveal and they're
- 14:33Speaker 3: having a baby girl. In this video, Hakim and Monica
- 14:37Speaker 3: are shocked. They were both convinced they were going to
- 14:38Speaker 3: have a boy. He says he's so excited, and Monica
- 14:42Speaker 3: starts crying because she's so happy. Very cute, very cute.
- 14:45Speaker 3: I did, I did see this. It's just classic Kkim.
- 14:49Speaker 3: Just keep making content like this, Akim, because I mean,
- 14:52Speaker 3: your eyes, your expressions, nobody needs to know you're from
- 14:57Speaker 3: The Bachelor to enjoy your videos.
- 15:00Speaker 2: No, he's good at it. Jason Tartick buys dream home
- 15:04Speaker 2: with girlfriend Catherine and it's you know, the caption is
- 15:09Speaker 2: just closed.
- 15:10Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm a little confused. But also, I mean,
- 15:13Speaker 3: you can have two houses, I suppose Obviously Jason bought
- 15:17Speaker 3: his house in New York right recently. Didn't he just
- 15:20Speaker 3: buy a place in New York.
- 15:22Speaker 2: He did not buy a place. He was he was
- 15:25Speaker 2: renting an apartment in New York, and I think I
- 15:28Speaker 2: saw something where he had said, if you would have
- 15:30Speaker 2: told me like a year and a half ago that
- 15:32Speaker 2: I'd be living in Nashville, it never would have been true.
- 15:34Speaker 2: But you know, the two of them met, and I
- 15:36Speaker 2: think it changed his mind.
- 15:38Speaker 3: Okay, So what happened was that he like lived in
- 15:40Speaker 3: New York for about a year. I think I remember
- 15:43Speaker 3: him saying that his lease was about to be up
- 15:44Speaker 3: and he had to make like big decisions, right. Well,
- 15:47Speaker 3: they ended up going back to Nashville with his girlfriend.
- 15:53Speaker 3: She is the founder of Wags and Walks in Nashville,
- 15:57Speaker 3: so of course she's very heavily based there. And they
- 16:00Speaker 3: said that they bought their dreamhouse together. You get a
- 16:02Speaker 3: little tour on their Instagram if you want to see it.
- 16:05Speaker 3: And he said, yeah, just over a year ago, I
- 16:07Speaker 3: told of my best friends, I don't know what next
- 16:09Speaker 3: it will look like, but I know certainly I won't
- 16:12Speaker 3: be in Nashville. And here I am just closing on
- 16:15Speaker 3: my dream home in Nashville with my dream girl. What
- 16:17Speaker 3: a difference a yearpe can make. I would have assumed
- 16:20Speaker 3: that they met in Nashville.
- 16:23Speaker 2: I think they did, because he still had his house
- 16:24Speaker 2: there for well, you know, a long time, is it?
- 16:28Speaker 2: Are they still is Caitlin and Jason still like dog
- 16:31Speaker 2: sharing or is that done?
- 16:32Speaker 3: No, they don't dog share anymore. It's been like almost
- 16:35Speaker 3: a year since they stopped dog sharing.
- 16:37Speaker 2: Okay, but he has his own dog now he's dating Catherine.
- 16:40Speaker 2: They buy a house together in Nashville.
- 16:43Speaker 3: Buying a house is like super duper serious. This is
- 16:45Speaker 3: way more serious than he was with Kat obviously.
- 16:48Speaker 2: Yeah. Well sure, how long have they been together? Do
- 16:51Speaker 2: we know?
- 16:52Speaker 3: I'm guessing like close to nine once, but I think
- 16:56Speaker 3: they've only been public for maybe six maybe not even
- 17:00Speaker 3: that long.
- 17:01Speaker 2: Well, good for them. They seem like they really like
- 17:06Speaker 2: the time they spend around each other. Obviously. He loves dogs,
- 17:09Speaker 2: she loves dogs. They seem to like each other quite
- 17:12Speaker 2: a bit. They did a whole Tommy John ad together.
- 17:15Speaker 3: The Timmy John ad cannot be forgotten.
- 17:18Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if that doesn't like hard launch your relationship.
- 17:23Speaker 3: Ben's remembering this because it's well hard to forget. We
