  Speaker 3: Ashley, we have.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: The first big headline of the week. The Bachelor alum
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Daisy can't reveal she and boyfriend Thor. What an incredible
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: can you believe? No, just I have a picture in
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: my mind of him right now. I think I've seen
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: him a few times, but like in my mind, I'm thinking,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: like hot guy.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: He doesn't look like Thor whatsoever. Like he's not attractive,
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: but he's not like this big burly Thor. He does
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: not go along with his name.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: They're now roommates, Ashley. What's happening here? Like I'm assuming
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: they're living together is the headline?
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: Their roommates.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: In the way that they are now the roommates, it's
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: a funny way of saying she's living with her boyfriend out.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: She met him in San Diego at school San Diego
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: State University, and when he told her initially, hey, I'm
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: from Las Vegas, she was like, Wow, people live in Vegas,
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Like as a real thing, and he was like, yeah,
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: and now here she is. They just moved to Vegas,
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: they built the house, and right now they're moving all
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: her stuff. They're going back and forth on road trips
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: because it's four hours from la which is where she
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: was living, moving all the stuff over.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: It feels like this would be different if they just
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: from Vegas. No, building the house together feels like we're
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: looking I'm just gonna assume we're looking at this step
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: now to engagement, Like you don't build a house with
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: somebody without seriously thinking that your future.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Is with them.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, totally agree.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, speaking of building houses with people, Caitlin Bristow,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: she suddenly defends herself a mid rumors she's dating Adams
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: ex Zach Clark. Wait, I thought these rumors started two
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: years ago.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: Well they have. It's not been two years. Let's not
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: push it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: But it has been over a year since Caitlin and
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Zach were first spotted at that New Year's Eve party
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: on Instagram and people saw them, but they haven't really
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: been seen very much since then. Maybe a dinner or
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: two in New York City based on a good rosy camera.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right, Well, anyway, Tasha had.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Something to do with Bumble's TikTok account, like a takeover
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: or something like that, and somebody asked whether dating a
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: best friend's ex was a pro or a con, and
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: of course she said no, who dates a best friend's ex?
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: And then a fan taed Caitlin and said something along
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: the line of take notes like, hey, Caitlin, you shouldn't
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: date your best friend's X, to which Caitlin responded with
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: they said best friend And to Schae, Caitlyn and Tasha
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: weren't never best friends, nothing even close to it. Apparently
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: they had tension throughout them co hosting the show. So, guys,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: even though on TV they appear to be very close friends,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: this is not what it was.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: So they're good at their jobs, is what we're saying.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, it's very good at their jobs. Well, you
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: have the further thoughts on this, Benjamin, you're laughing.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: I just I think this.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: I think at some point people have to realize to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: not poke the bear of Caitlyn Bristow, Like she has
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: no boundaries and she's so witty and she's so unapologetic
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: that like Caitlyn is a very honest, truthful person. We
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: know that about her. We're friends with her, she will
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: say what's on her mind, which gets her into trouble
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: and also is what we love about Kaitlin Bristow. Yeah,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: but as a result, at some point, let's say a
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: scenario exists where her and Zach Clark have been dating
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: for the last year, since they've been seen at a
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: New Year's party together and then seeing consistently over the
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: last year together off and on at dinners and whatever, like,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: at some point Tasha, who I also think is great,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: would just say, this isn't a topic I want to
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: broach any longer, because when I say something, Caitlin comes
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: in a thousand times harder.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Well, it was a generic question to day the best
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: friend zact. But I guess she took the question because
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: you know, and also, who the hell is ever going
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: to say yes to that? Like, I think that person,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: whoever was the person asking the question, was obviously just
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: trying to get a fun reaction.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Sure, sure, it's still a story until it's not. But
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: the longer this day, his story I think is is
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Tasia still with her boyfriend?
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: We haven't seen them a bit for a bit, but
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: they were always very private.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Okay, So really, who knows?
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: It?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Just want to be fun to talk about your ex
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: of so many years ago consistently. I cannot imagine it's
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: good for your personal dating life. So and I just wouldn't.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I just wouldn't get into a public battle with Caitlin, like,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I just wouldn't.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: It's scary, but you know, this isn't really a huge
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: public battle of It's just little. It's just a little
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: social media chatter. Nobody said it's a big interview.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: That's a good point. That's a good point a few.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Months ago to just take a little something and.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: Run with it.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a few months ago, maybe it would have been
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a bigger story. When Caitlyn, I think said something like
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I should have sent her a picture of something.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: You remember that?
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, that was a moment.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know that was a moment.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Rachel Lindsay has a new dating partner, Willie Jones, country star.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: You've probably heard of Willy Jones because he has a
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: ton of followers for a country artist, especially on social media.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: He's best known for really two songs, but he has
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: a lot of great hits out there. The two songs
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: he's best known for are American Dream and down for
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: He worked with Beyonce on her massive Cowboy Carter album. Now,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Rachel Lindsay and Willie Jones were rumored to be together. Oh,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: it's been quite a while now. Honestly, I think they
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: were initially kind of rumored to be together about a
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: year ago, kind of following the divorce from Brian, but
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: nothing really came out except for this weekend. The two
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: stepped out together at the Celebrities and Artists Unite at
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Project Angel Foods event Angel Art so they were seen together,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: confirming that there is something going on. A source says
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: that he's a really cool guy. They're super happy for
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Rachel and they're really happy about the situation.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: To clarify, they're initially linked late last year, so it
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: hasn't been a full year. So late last year, somewhere
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: in the November to December timeframe, people started to rumor
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: that maybe the two were dating. Her legal paperwork to
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: end their marriage with Brian was started in January twenty
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: twenty four. Rachel didn't give any comment on the status
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: of that this time. So, Rachel Lindsay and Willie Jones
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: are officially we could say, like a pair something's going
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: on there. He's a cool guy, cording sources. She's really happy.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: We're really happy for her. All Right, We're going to
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: completely switch gears to talking about something that we've been
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: covering and also an interview that we had. We had
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: an interview with Kevin, who is Ali Fittatowski's husband, Kevin Mano.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Right before he had surgery, he was having his thyroid
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: remove due to having.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: A cancer diagnosis.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: So we are switching gears to talk about cancer here
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: with two Bachelor contestants that we love very dearly.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: And here's the headline.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Ali Fittatowski shares update about her husband Kevin's thyroid cancer.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Here is the update. He is officially cancer free.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: Yes, we are so happy for him.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: She said. The surgery one great. They only took half
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: the thyroide out. When they wait into the surgery, they
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: weren't sure if they were gonna to take the whole thing.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: I happening and they're still determining, like if he's gonna
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: have to be on meds for life. But he is
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: just recovering well and the pathology report came back negative
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: and we are we're really happy that they can rest
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: easy now.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's we did. If you haven't listened to that interview.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: We did have an interview with Kevin right before he
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: went into surgery, and the dynamic within the family was
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: supportive and encouraging and also had a little nerves. Yeah, positive,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: but nerves to it because if I remember, Kevin hadn't
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: really had many surgeries in his life and this is
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: obviously a big one. So for him to be officially
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: cancer free is such a big deal. We hope he
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: gets back to his job, which is as a radio host,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: very quickly, because I know that was a concern.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Also, well, we talked about this quite a bit.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: And here is the next update within this dynas Katie
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Thurston reveals she's moving to New York, which is a
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: big deal. I don't think that was necessarily talked about
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: at the beginning, and she gives an update on her
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: breast cancer diagnosis. Her statement is Ashley, at this point,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: it's likely stage three.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: Yes, which would mean that it's spread to lymph notes.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: I believe, even though I thought that last week she
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: said that she that they it wasn't found in the
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: lymph notes when they did.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: When they did it also to ructionally in there so
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: I'm interested to know. I not pretend to be a
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: doctor right now. I would think that if it wasn't
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: in the lymph notes, that it wouldn't be stage three.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: But I'm just gonna say exactly what Katie has said
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: right now. She said that it's triple positive invasive ductyl
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: karsonoma to be determined on the stage, likely stage three.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: And she found the lump herself. She said it was.
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: Just how it.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: She was like, it just felt like a lump. Answer
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: does discriminate. I probably first felt the lump in August.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Don't do what I did and delay. So yes, that
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: is a teaching lesson here. And then she also said
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: that people were asking her on Instagram different questions and
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: she's answering a few of them, and somebody asked what
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: did it feel like? And she said, it kind of
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: feel like a not, sort of like when your body's
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: sore and you have someone massage on a not on
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: your back. She goes, like, sometimes you get like a
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: weird bump after a bruise. It was kind of like that,
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: And she said, funny enough, my old doctor always checked
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: me for lumps when I would go do my annual PAP.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: But my current provider didn't, So it's really up to
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: you to do these self checks.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Ashley, how I mean this might be a personal question.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Just tell me to shut up. How often do you
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: check yourself?
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Well? See, I talked about this on the The Doctor
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: conversation I had about breast cancer that like, I have
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: had two bread biopsies, and right, this is like so
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: tam I I mentioned just about like the feel of
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: my boobs are different now after having kids than it
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: was prior.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: They used to be like a lot.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay, well, yes that is common, but I I
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: didn't breastfeed, so I wasn't I wouldn't expect there to
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: be as much of a difference in the field, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: there was, and now there's so much easier to feel
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: through than they were before. I guess, you know, to
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: answer your question quite bluntly, I really don't do any
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: self checks, but I do sometimes.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: This is the weirdest thing I ever kinna say.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: But I do like play with my boobs enough that
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: I would I kind of would feel them, you know,
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: like sometimes you just.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: Grab on chest.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like you're doing it now, which is not necessary.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: No, but.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: I know this doesn't seem like a laughing matter.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: But you know, sometimes you guys as men would just like,
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: you know, rub your chest, rub your shoulders somehow, it
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: just like kind of like put my fingers through.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: Boobs, and I think I would note it.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: I think I would notice because of that sort of habit,
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: and especially now with the texture that they're at, and
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: texture might be a weird worst. The consistency, I would
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: absolutely doesn't listen to this, dude, it's like your texture,
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: your consistency, like cow wife. I would certainly feel it
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: just by like feeling around myself that. But I should
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: have more intentional moments of check.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: What is the recommended Like if you once a month in.
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: The soapy fingers smoothing.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Over, okay, you should like intentionally check once a month. Well,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: what is recommended at this point is because I know
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: a lot of people way young of age and we've
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, this Katie Thurston story is one that I've
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: been following very closely. Her her fiance has been incredibly
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: supportive and also bringing humor to a really difficult situation,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: like in the.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Most beautiful of ways.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: But the recommended is once a month, Ashley, you should
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: be checking yourself intentionally for any lumps, bumps, not anything, yes, okay.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Sure, arm up in the air, elbow over all over.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, checking around. Okay, So anybody listening if they're wondering,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: that is the recommended amount. That is what we ask
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: everybody to do, because this is becoming like this isn't
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: this has always been a thing, but it's not. It's
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: becoming more of a prevalent thing with people of younger
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: age here as of the last few years.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Right, Yes, and same with colon cancer, which is so scary.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh, it's something to talk about. Yeah.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Thinking about Katie Goodness, gracious, her life has taken such
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: a turn. I think I saw today that she was
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: even in help, like getting her eggs frozen or thinking
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: Guys, we should definitely talk about that for a second. Okay.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: So she has been super open on her Instagram stories,
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: and she's got a great she's always kind of has
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: a great attitude, and she is still presenting herself a
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: pretty upbeat on her stories. And somebody asked her, why
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: are you doing the egg freezing before doing chemo? And
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: that's because chemo can oftentimes just you know.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: Make your egg situation a little less fruitful. And then even.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: If the chemo didn't have an effect on her eggs,
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: they still recommend to not have to not have children
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: within two years of wrapping up chemo and radiation.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: This is a lot. It feels like a lot for
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: her to process right now. So again our thoughts with
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: her and her fiance.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: I'm really glad that she has him, Like, it's really
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: nice to see their relationship and like and because he's
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: a comedian, it just seems like he's always keeping her
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: in a fun mood.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: And I think that's so I said, he's like bringing
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: a humor, not that he's making light of a situation
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: that is really hard on her, but he continues to
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: make her laugh in the midst of something very difficult,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: which is is such a beautiful thing to witness from
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: social media, and I think such an like an incredible
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: role for him to play. It's it's absolutely spectacular. Yeah,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: but it's also a situation where we're here thinking about
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: her lifting her up in prayer, lifting her up in
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: like support because it is it's extremely difficult. And I
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: saw her Instagram story today of you know, going through
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: the process of freezing.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Her eggs, which is demanding emotionally and physically as well.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, goodness like that. I mean we've talked to
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: people have done that before. It's very difficult. So Katie,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: you're with us if you listen to this, or if
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: you see a headline that pops up, and then please,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: if you're out there and you're somebody really I think
• 17:13
