0:44
Speaker 2: some juicy ones for you today. Ashley is here, ready
0:47
Speaker 2: and prepared. Goodness gracious, let's kick it off with this one.
0:52
Speaker 2: Tyler Cameron says, Bachelor Grant ellis yes, the bachelor currently
0:59
Speaker 2: no longer a bachel though in a relationship. Unfollowed him
1:02
Speaker 2: over Litilla Gar's support. Tyler Cameron's quote is, come on, now,
1:10
Speaker 2: this is covering to us Weekly.
1:12
Speaker 3: Okay, so I love this because Tyler just.
1:16
Speaker 4: Like wasn't afraid to say what he was thinking, and
1:20
Speaker 4: Grant couldn't. He couldn't take it. So after seeing the finale,
1:25
Speaker 4: Grant got a Tyler got on Instagram and he said, Latilla,
1:28
Speaker 4: I'm going to apologize because I.
1:30
Speaker 3: Was unfamiliar with your game because.
1:32
Speaker 4: You have a massive, massive real estate right here in
1:37
Speaker 4: Grant's head and this is probably true. And then he
1:42
Speaker 4: said so he you know, he kind of put Grant
1:46
Speaker 4: a little bit on blast, as I and lots of
1:49
Speaker 4: other viewers out there did, because you know, he said
1:54
Speaker 4: too many things, too many things.
1:57
Speaker 2: Now watch yourself, Ashley, what do you mean some of
2:02
Speaker 2: us make those mistakes in life.
2:04
Speaker 4: No, no, it wasn't just the I love you. It
2:07
Speaker 4: wasn't the I love you. It's over yes, over and
2:11
Speaker 4: over again. Stop the show face, having your mom whatever.
2:14
Speaker 4: He's in the fantasy suage, which I think is even
2:16
Speaker 4: beyond all this.
2:17
Speaker 3: I can't wait. You know, I'm excited to propose to
2:19
Speaker 3: you tomorrow. Like what this is so beyond the I
2:22
Speaker 3: love you.
2:22
Speaker 4: I can respect that you love two people, that you
2:24
Speaker 4: even say I love you to two people. This I
2:27
Speaker 4: can't respect at all anyway, So I'm sure that Grant
2:30
Speaker 4: won't be having any double dates with me in Boston either.
2:33
Speaker 4: My nanny was like, just like, do you think that, like,
2:35
Speaker 4: because they're living in Boston, that you'll like see them
2:38
Speaker 4: And I'm like, I don't know that he's going to
2:41
Speaker 4: really want to hang out with me after how critical
2:43
Speaker 4: I was at the finale anyway. Okay, so this is
2:47
Speaker 4: what Tyler said, and then he goes, when I was
2:51
Speaker 4: on Nick's podcast, I was like, Hey, You're gonna be
2:55
Speaker 4: a great bachelor.
2:57
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah.
2:58
Speaker 4: And then he goes, ye slid Grant slid into Tyler's DM,
3:02
Speaker 4: saying you're the man TC and then he said I
3:07
Speaker 4: had this feeling that after I supported Latia on Instagram
3:10
Speaker 4: that Grant unfollowed me, and then he went to his
3:14
Speaker 4: follower list, and yes he did. He unfollowed Tyler after
3:19
Speaker 4: he showed the support to Lithia.
3:21
Speaker 2: Now, okay, I don't blame Grant though, really, come oh sensitive, Now,
3:28
Speaker 2: I'm not saying what Tyler did was wrong either. You
3:29
Speaker 2: signed up for a show again to be criticized, like
3:32
Speaker 2: it happens to everybody all times. You go from the
3:35
Speaker 2: highs to lows, and most seasons you get spit out
3:38
Speaker 2: with people being happy and people being mad at you.
3:41
Speaker 2: But I don't necessarily mind Grant unfollowing Tyler because it
3:45
Speaker 2: wasn't serving anything of encouragement to him. And if that's not, like,
3:50
Speaker 2: if that's not happening, then I don't blame him for
3:51
Speaker 2: taking a step back. It's not that he should be
3:53
Speaker 2: mad at Tyler. I hope that they see each other
3:55
Speaker 2: they can laugh about it and be like, dude, you
3:57
Speaker 2: like you are a jerk to me, and Tyler can
3:59
Speaker 2: say yes, I was, and all this whatever dudes do
4:02
Speaker 2: to figure stuff out. But I don't blame him for
4:06
Speaker 2: the unfollow because Grant is very sensitive. I'm sure right
4:09
Speaker 2: now like he's hearing every negative comment way louder than
4:13
Speaker 2: anything positive.
4:16
Speaker 4: I can see your side, but I also feel like
4:20
Speaker 4: you need to learn to take that that's not even
4:22
Speaker 4: that bad.
4:23
Speaker 3: It wasn't that mean.
4:25
Speaker 2: Over time, he will be fine. He's just a sensitive
4:28
Speaker 2: boy right now, and that's okay. Actually, this one kind
4:31
Speaker 2: of rocked me, if I if I remember right, this
4:35
Speaker 2: is the second time, Yeah, something like this has happened
4:39
Speaker 2: in their home. It was something I was so worried
4:41
Speaker 2: about with my beautiful pup Oilan. I could not be
4:47
Speaker 2: more at peace with where I'm at. So this even
4:50
Speaker 2: headline doesn't hurt me to read. But if you had
4:52
Speaker 2: asked me this three months ago, I would have never
4:55
Speaker 2: read it because I would have been so terrified myself.
4:59
Speaker 2: Bachelor star Sean Loa details being attacked twice by his
5:02
Speaker 2: dog in North Texas home. Now, actually, before we start,
5:08
Speaker 2: if I'm crazy, we read a headline like a year
5:11
Speaker 2: ago where they had to send one of their dogs
5:13
Speaker 2: to a different home because of it attacking their son.
5:16
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, we didn't have like that attack detailed. I
5:20
Speaker 4: don't even know if we would call an attack. It
5:23
Speaker 4: just seemed to like be aggressive, like shows time's aggressiveness. Yeah,
5:28
Speaker 4: so they got rid of that dog and then they
5:31
Speaker 4: just had to get rid of another dog after a
5:34
Speaker 4: true attack on Sean. If you want to know the
5:37
Speaker 4: whole story from them, like I it is, it's a
5:40
Speaker 4: crazy story. There's a seven minute Instagram reel that they
5:43
Speaker 4: put up on it explaining how you know, of course
5:46
Speaker 4: they had to get rid of the dog after this,
5:47
Speaker 4: and they didn't want people to be like, so what
5:50
Speaker 4: happened to the dog or see the marks on Sean's
5:54
Speaker 4: arms and wonder what happened there without explanations, they just
5:58
Speaker 4: seven minute video on it. It was quite petrifying. He
6:03
Speaker 4: got attacked by the dog and sent to the emergency
6:06
Speaker 4: room twice in the same twenty four hour span.
6:10
Speaker 2: Yeah.
6:11
Speaker 4: So first he's grilling out with the guys and he
6:15
Speaker 4: the kids aren't home, and the smoke detector goes off
6:18
Speaker 4: in the house and I guess the smoke detector had
6:21
Speaker 4: never gone off before, but this sound drove the dog
6:24
Speaker 4: to run up to Sean and just tear like really
6:29
Speaker 4: just like dig into his arms to the to the
6:32
Speaker 4: point where he said it like it almost looked like
6:34
Speaker 4: a murder scene out on the patio. He was very
6:37
Speaker 4: thankful that he had friends there because they got him
6:39
Speaker 4: to the emergency room and they got stitched up, and
6:42
Speaker 4: of course like that they were already thinking like, oh,
6:44
Speaker 4: we got to figure out what to do this dog.
6:47
Speaker 4: So he gets back from the emergency room the next day,
6:50
Speaker 4: the dog, the kids are going to go get picked
6:53
Speaker 4: up by the grandparents and they're going to figure out
6:56
Speaker 4: what to do. They just need like time to heal
6:59
Speaker 4: and like time for their minds and Catherine and him,
7:02
Speaker 4: and then as the grandparents pull up, there's this other
7:07
Speaker 4: siren sound and the dog he sees like leaping out
7:12
Speaker 4: of the house, going straight towards him again, ripping him apart,
7:17
Speaker 4: goes to the er again. So of course Moose is
7:22
Speaker 4: we don't know where he is, but he's no longer
7:24
Speaker 4: in the low house, I do believe.
7:27
Speaker 2: I mean, I think you mentioned this, but Sean was
7:29
Speaker 2: working with a no kill shelter to kind of figure
7:32
Speaker 2: out where to, yeah, take Moose. It's really sad story
7:36
Speaker 2: for multiple reasons. I'm sure they were heartbroken that their
7:38
Speaker 2: dog is, you know, doing this, and then.
7:41
Speaker 5: Also kind of what he was talking about.
7:43
Speaker 2: Shun's hurt. But yeah, it's the second time. I mean,
7:48
Speaker 2: I hope they get like a poodle, like, I know, stuff,
7:51
Speaker 2: like a tiny little poodle that can't cause damage, because goodness,
7:54
Speaker 2: that's a rough go with one of God's greatest creations
7:58
Speaker 2: a dog.
7:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he was a boxer. He's a boxer Moose.
8:02
Speaker 4: And he just said that it was like so hurtful
8:05
Speaker 4: in addition to being physically hurtful, of course, that it
8:08
Speaker 4: was like this is.
8:08
Speaker 3: My dog, My dog is like.
8:10
Speaker 5: Tearing me up.
8:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's just that was like such an emotional
8:15
Speaker 4: element to it, and they only had him for three months.
8:18
Speaker 5: I thought he had him for longer. But yeah, I.
8:20
Speaker 2: Don't like it. I mean I don't like it because
8:23
Speaker 2: it makes me sad for all of them. Uh. Christina
8:26
Speaker 2: Mandreu celebrates being five months sober, and her quote is
8:31
Speaker 2: I'm really proud of how far I've come.
8:35
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
8:36
Speaker 3: So she posted this so awesome.
8:39
Speaker 4: So she's out to dinner with Braiden, you know, another
8:43
Speaker 4: bachelor couple that we need to get on since their
8:45
Speaker 4: wedding because they got married recently. She said, five months sober,
8:49
Speaker 4: and for the first time since starting this Jersey, I
8:52
Speaker 4: went out, like actually went out to a restaurant with
8:54
Speaker 4: menus mood lighting and yes, drink specials.
8:57
Speaker 5: I get it.
8:57
Speaker 4: There's like a difference between like going out to eat
8:59
Speaker 4: to like a family restaurant, and like going on a
9:01
Speaker 4: date night with that ambiance that's going to put you
9:04
Speaker 4: in the mood for maybe more of a drink. And
9:06
Speaker 4: she goes, I hadn't been now at all, not because
9:08
Speaker 4: I didn't want to, but because I didn't trust myself
9:10
Speaker 4: to be around it yet. But on this night, I
9:12
Speaker 4: felt ready, and Braiden and I got dressed up and
9:14
Speaker 4: we went somewhere that felt a little fancier than usual,
9:18
Speaker 4: seafood tower and all. And I told myself I could
9:20
Speaker 4: handle it.
9:22
Speaker 3: She said their.
9:23
Speaker 4: Booth was facing a wine cellar. It was a huge
9:27
Speaker 4: wine cellar. And she goes and right next us with
9:29
Speaker 4: a triple date and they were ordering rounds and rounds
9:32
Speaker 4: to the table, laughing and cheersing. And I'd be lying
9:34
Speaker 4: if it didn't stir something up inside me. But I
9:36
Speaker 4: made it through, and I made it through more than
9:38
Speaker 4: just that. I enjoyed myself. And she was talking about
9:41
Speaker 4: how supportive Brandon has been and he he said something
9:44
Speaker 4: really cute or it was like the way that he
9:46
Speaker 4: looked at her. Yeah, he was taking pictures of her,
9:50
Speaker 4: and one picture he goes like, Babe, this is your
9:53
Speaker 4: real smile. Like this isn't like your smile for a
9:55
Speaker 4: picture smile. This is like your real smile.
9:56
Speaker 5: That came out. And she said that was like a
9:58
Speaker 5: really special moment.
10:00
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful moment for both of them, and incredible
10:04
Speaker 2: accomplishment for her. I again, have never known anybody who
10:08
Speaker 2: has gone sober who has regretted it. That's something that
10:12
Speaker 2: said Grant Ellis. We're going back to Grant for a second.
10:16
Speaker 2: I'm gonna share a couple big headlines about Katie Thurston
10:20
Speaker 2: towards the end of our headlines, but we're going to
10:23
Speaker 2: go back to Grant. Grant Ellis clears the air on
10:26
Speaker 2: his sister Taylor's feelings about fiance Juliana. This is according
10:31
Speaker 2: the Bachelor Nation. I believe Ashley. This is coming off
10:34
Speaker 2: of some of the clips that were done when Juliana
10:39
Speaker 2: and Grant were announced as a couple on live stage
10:41
Speaker 2: and Grant's sister looked nothing but disappointed. And he's clearing
10:46
Speaker 2: the air on this now.
10:48
Speaker 4: Yeah. He was doing an interview with US Weekly and
10:51
Speaker 4: he said, rest assured everyone all is fine between Juliana
10:56
Speaker 4: and my sister. They have a great relationship. And sometimes
10:59
Speaker 4: I tell my sister, dude, fix your face. And then
11:02
Speaker 4: he shared that that's just how his sister looks sometimes
11:05
Speaker 4: and people are gonna believe what they want to believe,
11:06
Speaker 4: but that's just.
11:07
Speaker 3: Her she is.
11:09
Speaker 4: She has this mentally thing, this mental thing where she's
11:13
Speaker 4: like gotta be a boss. I don't know what that is,
11:15
Speaker 4: but that's why my sister she loves Juliana very much.
11:17
Speaker 4: The Internet create can create whatever narrative they want and
11:20
Speaker 4: run with it.
11:21
Speaker 2: Love it. Amanda Stanton is honest about the differences in
11:35
Speaker 2: an article with Bachelor Nation about the differences between having
11:39
Speaker 2: a baby at twenty one and thirty three, I was.
11:44
Speaker 4: Very interested to read this when she posted it on
11:46
Speaker 4: her story.
11:47
Speaker 3: She said that a lot of people ask her if
11:49
Speaker 3: it was.
11:49
Speaker 4: Hard being pregnant in her early twenties, because obviously, like
11:53
Speaker 4: friends are a different stage of life. Her sister was
11:55
Speaker 4: in college at the time. She goes, But I've always
11:57
Speaker 4: been kind of a homebody, so I never felt lest
12:00
Speaker 4: out when people were doing something different.
12:03
Speaker 5: She said.
12:03
Speaker 4: The one thing that did bother her was that her
12:05
Speaker 4: friends didn't understand, like if she couldn't make it to something,
12:08
Speaker 4: they would think like, oh, she's being flaky, but actually
12:11
Speaker 4: it's like, no, I have a kid, like I actually
12:12
Speaker 4: have to take.
12:12
Speaker 2: Care of it.
12:13
Speaker 3: And she goes at thirty three.
12:14
Speaker 4: It was nice because all my friends are pretty much
12:16
Speaker 4: in the same boat as me. She talks about different
12:21
Speaker 4: like bodily things too that happened, like she felt like
12:25
Speaker 4: she lost the weight faster when she was younger, but
12:28
Speaker 4: now she's in the best shape ever. She was able
12:30
Speaker 4: to get herself there. And she said that she did
12:35
Speaker 4: have more energy in her twenties, even if she was
12:38
Speaker 4: like still tired, like she had bad nights sleep, you know,
12:42
Speaker 4: she was able to like kind of power through and
12:44
Speaker 4: she goes, Now, if I don't get sleep, I cannot
12:46
Speaker 4: function the next day.
12:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really fun to watch Amanda Stanton. It's just life.
12:53
Speaker 2: It's such a qul. I know that she's pulled off
12:55
Speaker 2: to beautiful daughters at twenty one and then obviously another
13:01
Speaker 2: beautiful child at thirty three, and her marriage and just
13:04
Speaker 2: it's fun to follow along, especially from someone who had
13:08
Speaker 2: no part in this chapter in her life but got
13:10
Speaker 2: to see her and get to know her well.
13:14
Speaker 3: I agree.
13:15
Speaker 4: She's like one of those insubscriptories that I must click
13:18
Speaker 4: on when I say she's uploaded a new one.
13:20
Speaker 2: Crushing it. Good job, Amanda. Okay two, we're going to
13:25
Speaker 2: use this next minute and a half here to talk
13:28
Speaker 2: about the Bachelor in Paradise. Obviously, they announced that the
13:34
Speaker 2: Goldens are going to be in Paradise to some capacity
13:37
Speaker 2: with the cast members from the Bachelor and Bachelorette in
13:41
Speaker 2: Paradise there's a thousand things that could happen on the
13:45
Speaker 2: beaches in Paradise with this dynamic existing. Hopefully all of
13:49
Speaker 2: it's good, kosher and easy for me to watch, all
13:55
Speaker 2: of us to watch. I think it's going to be beautiful.
13:57
Speaker 4: Hey, Ben, we never got your opinion on this since
14:00
Speaker 4: you were out that day.
14:01
Speaker 2: My opinion is I love it.
14:02
Speaker 3: Oh really, you're the only one.
14:04
Speaker 1: No.
14:04
Speaker 2: I think it's great.
14:05
Speaker 4: I'm relatively neutral, but like most people I talk to,
14:08
Speaker 4: you can't stand it well.
14:10
Speaker 2: I think their thought goes to they're going to try
14:12
Speaker 2: to set these people up for dating, and I just
14:13
Speaker 2: don't think that's going to be the case. I don't see.
14:16
Speaker 2: I think the Goldens that I know are one way
14:20
Speaker 2: too wise, way too like, fatherly and motherly and caring.
14:25
Speaker 2: Two ever for a chance consider that, and I think
14:28
Speaker 2: it's going to be a great dynamic of wisdom and honesty,
14:33
Speaker 2: with the Goldens also having so much fun. We've seen
14:35
Speaker 2: them have so much fun. I like it. I think
14:38
Speaker 2: it's gonna be fun, and I'm glad we get to
14:39
Speaker 2: see the Goldens in a different environment. I like that show.
14:43
Speaker 2: I'm fan. I'm a fan of that show. I want
14:46
Speaker 2: to see more of them, and if it has to
14:48
Speaker 2: be on Paradise with the other contestants, I'll gladly take it. Yeah,
14:52
Speaker 2: I think it could be a huge win if the
14:55
Speaker 2: show does it well. If we see see Susan and
14:59
Speaker 2: Kathy making out with a twenty two year old, that
15:01
Speaker 2: that's when I stop watching this show forever.
15:04
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, I don't think it'll happen. When you put
15:07
Speaker 4: in perspective for these people, it is like making out
15:10
Speaker 4: with your child's friend.
15:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's not gonna happen. It's just not a thing.
15:15
Speaker 2: It's there. The Goldens are way too wise to let
15:19
Speaker 2: that happen. But if it ever even gets hinted at,
15:23
Speaker 2: I think it's stupid. Keep it separate. But here's the stories.
15:27
Speaker 2: The Golden Bachelor, Gary Turner turned down offer to join
15:31
Speaker 2: Bachelor in Paradise a little bit shocking to me because
15:36
Speaker 2: I do think he would have done well there. It's
15:39
Speaker 2: interesting that he did, and he explains why. Ashley tell us.
15:44
Speaker 4: Yes, he passed it down because he said, simply, I've
15:47
Speaker 4: already dated these women. There's only one season of women
15:50
Speaker 4: to go through, and I was in charge of dating them.
15:53
Speaker 4: So unless they were to add in extras basically for
15:57
Speaker 4: him personally, he is not interested.
16:00
Speaker 2: Sure makes sense, it doesn't make sense. Give him a
16:03
Speaker 2: few years here.
16:04
Speaker 1: Oh.
16:04
Speaker 4: He also said that he'd be open to a cameo
16:07
Speaker 4: or filling in for Wells as bartender. I don't think
16:11
Speaker 4: he's going to get that gig. But if there's two bars,
16:13
Speaker 4: one for the Goldens and one for the regulars, that
16:16
Speaker 4: would make sense.
16:18
Speaker 2: See, this is where I should come back in and
16:20
Speaker 2: make my like push. I don't want to take Wells's job.
16:23
Speaker 2: There's nobody that can do this better than Wells. But
16:25
Speaker 2: if there is two bars, two separate filming spots, I
16:29
Speaker 2: personally feel like I should be the bartender for the
16:32
Speaker 2: Goldens because I've wanted to be a part of that
16:35
Speaker 2: show since the very beginning. I was willing to work
16:37
Speaker 2: on the show. I was willing to clean for the show.
16:39
Speaker 2: I was willing to do anything possible to be around
16:42
Speaker 2: these people more. Maybe it's time for me to make
16:46
Speaker 2: a second push.
16:47
Speaker 3: Anyway, Hey, just tell them again.
16:50
Speaker 2: Okay, I want to be a part of this show.
16:52
Speaker 4: For anybody listening, we don't know any producers there or anymore,
16:56
Speaker 4: so it'll help us out if you.
16:57
Speaker 2: Have connections yeah, so if you're listening, whoever you are.
17:01
Speaker 2: We've never met, but I would love to be a
17:03
Speaker 2: part of this. I was the Bachelor about nine years ago.
17:08
Speaker 2: You know, some would say it was a decent time
17:11
Speaker 2: in the franchise. Susan Knowles and Kathy Swartz two of
17:15
Speaker 2: my absolute favorite people not only from the show but
17:17
Speaker 2: in the world that I love being around, that are
17:19
Speaker 2: sweet and carrying and generous and fun and always down
17:23
Speaker 2: to create story and do some wild things to do it.
17:29
Speaker 2: They're hilarious together. They discuss Golden's joining Bachelor in Paradise
17:33
Speaker 2: and if they want to hit the beach this summer. Okay,
17:37
Speaker 2: I haven't read this yet. I haven't seen anything about this,
17:40
Speaker 2: but just from the headline, there is zeroed out in
17:42
Speaker 2: my mind that Susan and Cathy do not want to
17:44
Speaker 2: be on the beach this summer.
17:46
Speaker 5: Susan and Cathy will be there.
17:48
Speaker 4: It's almost a certain guarantee. As they are the hosts
17:51
Speaker 4: of a Warner Brothers podcast. They want their hosts to
17:56
Speaker 4: be on the show and then more people will listen
17:58
Speaker 4: to their podcast. So they're joking about what kind of
18:02
Speaker 4: bathing suits. I guess there's actually a serious conversation. It's
18:05
Speaker 4: not joking about what kind of bathing suits they'll be
18:07
Speaker 4: wearing if they do hit the beach. Kathy says she
18:11
Speaker 4: will one hundred percent be oh yeah, okay, yes, Kathy,
18:17
Speaker 4: one hundred percent will not be in a bikini. She
18:20
Speaker 4: says she's going to have on her bathing suits in
18:22
Speaker 4: the nineteen forties with long sleeves and a long skirt,
18:26
Speaker 4: and Susan says that she doesn't even own a one piece.
18:29
Speaker 4: She'll be in bikini all the way. But she said
18:34
Speaker 4: watch out for her pudge. She is sixty eight and
18:37
Speaker 4: it is there.
18:38
Speaker 2: I just want them there. They will be there. This
18:42
Speaker 2: is why I cannot wait to watch the show. The
18:44
Speaker 2: two of them specifically.
18:46
Speaker 4: Narrating the situations hilarious because they're going to be drunk
18:50
Speaker 4: off their ass just talking commentating.
18:53
Speaker 2: They're they're the best two people to hang out with. Okay,
18:58
Speaker 2: final headline of now let's share this one real quick.
19:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's two.
19:04
Speaker 2: I love Zach Clark. He's doing great work for those
19:08
Speaker 2: in recovery and that are still processing recovery. Zach Clark
19:13
Speaker 2: and Grant Ellis's dad, Rob, who we saw specifically on
19:19
Speaker 2: the final segments of the show joined together to support
19:23
Speaker 2: addiction recovery. The quote is I'm eternally grateful.
19:28
Speaker 4: Yes. So Zach went on Instagram to share how he
19:32
Speaker 4: and Grant's father, Rob are currently working together to support
19:36
Speaker 4: each other in recovery journeys. So Rob actually reveals that
19:41
Speaker 4: when Grant initially mentioned him on the show and he
19:44
Speaker 4: heard him saying, my dad was an attict for thirty
19:46
Speaker 4: years and he lied to me, but he was my superhero.
19:49
Speaker 4: He didn't even know he was going to say that.
19:51
Speaker 4: The first time he heard about it was one it
19:54
Speaker 4: aired on TV. And then Zach asked Rob if he
19:57
Speaker 4: got sober because of Grant was going to because Grant
20:01
Speaker 4: was going to be on TV, and he replied that
20:04
Speaker 4: he was already in the process of recovering. He said, no, no,
20:08
Speaker 4: I was in rehab. I was getting ready to leave
20:11
Speaker 4: the place. I was getting ready to go into the
20:14
Speaker 4: Salvation Army.
20:15
Speaker 2: And then.
20:18
Speaker 4: Then Zach called him and said, I have a foundation
20:21
Speaker 4: and we're going to look out for you. And then
20:24
Speaker 4: Zach said that He's like, you know, everything is about
20:30
Speaker 4: forgiveness and love and compassion and in recovery. And now
20:35
Speaker 4: it's great because together and this whole storyline is helping
20:39
Speaker 4: people and paying it forward.
20:42
Speaker 2: It's beautiful the work that's being done and the two
20:45
Speaker 2: of them coming together to advocate, speak about and share
20:49
Speaker 2: the support that they have for each other during this time.
20:53
Speaker 2: It could not take a second here. It could not
20:55
Speaker 2: have been easy on Grant's dad to have this kind
20:59
Speaker 2: of process happened because he's in recovery. He is walking
21:04
Speaker 2: through recovery. Then it's brought to the world. So to
21:08
Speaker 2: see the support that then Zach and his foundation gave
21:10
Speaker 2: him sure meant a lot and helped him get through
21:14
Speaker 2: this time. And now it's going to do a lot
21:16
Speaker 2: of good for a lot of people.
21:19
Speaker 4: Yeah, and again his recovery name the name of his foundation,
21:23
Speaker 4: Release Recovery. So if you know anybody who needs it,
21:26
Speaker 4: check that out. Zach Clark's Release Recovery.
21:29
Speaker 2: Good clients of Generous Coffee as well. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, helpful.
21:43
Speaker 2: Final headline of today. So last week and for the
21:47
Speaker 2: last few weeks, we've been talking a lot about Katie Thurston.
21:50
Speaker 2: We had her on the podcast. We got to ask
21:53
Speaker 2: her the questions that so many people have been wondering
21:56
Speaker 2: and asking as she's been very vulnerable and very open
22:02
Speaker 2: about her process of finding out she had breast cancer
22:06
Speaker 2: and then walking into what she believed was during our
22:10
Speaker 2: interview the next week when she would start treatment. Then
22:14
Speaker 2: last week we gave an update that her treatment had
22:17
Speaker 2: been stalled. They'd put it on pause because they were
22:20
Speaker 2: worried about the cancer spreading.
22:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, she had a pet scan and there was something
22:27
Speaker 4: on her liver. They buyopdated it and it came back
22:31
Speaker 4: on Friday that it is indeed stage four cancer. That
22:36
Speaker 4: her breast cancer has spread to her liver, and this
22:40
Speaker 4: is obviously awful news. Katie still says that she is
22:44
Speaker 4: zero percent scared, which is amazing.
22:48
Speaker 2: Now she also shares that she's going to start treatment
22:50
Speaker 2: next week when she was on the podcast, and I
22:53
Speaker 2: encourage all of you to go back and listen to
22:55
Speaker 2: it because she shares a lot of great insight into
22:57
Speaker 2: her experience, how you can check yourself personally, and then
23:02
Speaker 2: also about her treatment plan at the time. It wasn't
23:07
Speaker 2: your routine, traditional treatment plan that she was walking into.
23:11
Speaker 2: And so I think the question so many of us
23:13
Speaker 2: have now Ashley is if her treatment plan is going
23:16
Speaker 2: to pick back up again, what does her treatment look
23:19
Speaker 2: like and is it different than what she shared with us.
23:23
Speaker 4: Well, I know that she told us, or she told
23:26
Speaker 4: Instagram a couple days ago that if it did indeed fantastasize,
23:30
Speaker 4: that she wasn't able to be a part of the
23:33
Speaker 4: experimental treatment that she was going to go through. It's
23:36
Speaker 4: not experimental treatment like it was the same chemo but
23:41
Speaker 4: given in different types of rounds. Now, the plan is
23:45
Speaker 4: essentially she said the same as before, though cancer is
23:49
Speaker 4: with it, like the cancer that's within the liver is
23:51
Speaker 4: spreading from the breast cancer. It's not a new type
23:55
Speaker 4: of cancer. So my breast cancer is still the root
23:58
Speaker 4: and will be the focus, and it will will be
24:00
Speaker 4: six rounds of chemotherapy to start.
24:03
Speaker 3: I believe that.
24:04
Speaker 5: She starts now this coming Friday.
24:07
Speaker 4: If you guys want to follow a long day by day,
24:10
Speaker 4: Katie does have the Booby broadcast, in which she basically
24:15
Speaker 4: texts you. It feels like it's a text every day
24:18
Speaker 4: or multiple times a day, and she gives updates.
24:22
Speaker 5: I'm looking at it right now here it is, so.
24:25
Speaker 4: She says, yes, getting ready for chemo on Friday. I
24:28
Speaker 4: have my cold cap kit, my frozen gloves and socks.
24:31
Speaker 4: That's trying the cold cap Is that she's going to
24:34
Speaker 4: try to keep her hair through this, and this is
24:35
Speaker 4: a new mechanism which it can sometimes be effective for that.
24:39
Speaker 2: It's not new, Ashley, you want to hear.
24:41
Speaker 3: It's not too new.
24:42
Speaker 2: My dad when he had cancer at thirty or a
24:46
Speaker 2: cold cap and kept his hair through the whole thing.
24:48
Speaker 4: So why do not more people do it? Because people
24:52
Speaker 4: also said that Kate Middleton may have done this.
24:54
Speaker 2: I don't know why they don't like more people don't
24:56
Speaker 2: do it, but he his I mean, I'm sure it's
24:58
Speaker 2: advanced since then, but he used to literally have a
25:01
Speaker 2: cap with ice. It was like an ice cat that
25:03
Speaker 2: you put on his head and it would help keep
25:05
Speaker 2: the hair. Oh interesting, and that was thirty seven years ago.
25:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, your dad still has hair, Yeah, never lost it?
25:14
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know.
25:15
Speaker 2: Wow.
25:16
Speaker 4: She said that she's glad that she has her port,
25:20
Speaker 4: that she has a built in port, and that she's
25:23
Speaker 4: just needing suggestions right now as to how the past
25:26
Speaker 4: the time while getting the chemo. She says, people are
25:29
Speaker 4: telling me to bring snacks, wear something warm. If you
25:32
Speaker 4: have any advice out there, let me know. She also
25:36
Speaker 4: got her period this week, and she said that she's
25:38
Speaker 4: never been happier to get a period, She says, the
25:40
Speaker 4: first time she's gotten one in since late January, and
25:44
Speaker 4: it's made her feel normal.
25:47
Speaker 2: I would recommend to Katie, who's a listener of our
25:51
Speaker 2: show already, to save the almost Famous podcast for those moments,
25:55
Speaker 2: because nothing helps the time go faster than listening to
25:59
Speaker 2: the almost Famous. It is some pure entertainment. Actually, the
26:05
Speaker 2: final question will answer about Katie because it's the one
26:09
Speaker 2: written into us. Do we have any idea? Do you
26:13
Speaker 2: have any idea from what you have read or if
26:16
Speaker 2: you've spoken to Katie, or however you get all of
26:19
Speaker 2: your amazing insights on her husband's plans, because when she
26:24
Speaker 2: talked to us, he was going back on tour. I
26:27
Speaker 2: know that this treatment has changed, and so is her
26:31
Speaker 2: husband going back on tour? Is he staying home? Kind
26:34
Speaker 2: of what's happening there?
26:35
Speaker 4: So she posts it as part of a Q and
26:37
Speaker 4: A the other day on Instagram that her treatment is
26:40
Speaker 4: spread out as six treatments and they three weeks apart,
26:44
Speaker 4: and each treatment is essentially a dedicated day to travel,
26:49
Speaker 4: infusions and recovery, and he'll.
26:51
Speaker 3: Probably miss the first three.
26:53
Speaker 4: But she said the good news is if she wants to,
26:56
Speaker 4: she can still travel to wherever he is as early
26:59
Speaker 4: as the next day after receiving the chemo, which perhaps
27:03
Speaker 4: sounds ambitious, but also she's a rock star and she
27:08
Speaker 4: should do whatever makes her feel the best.
27:11
Speaker 2: Right. Okay, that's all the headlines we have for you today.
27:13
Speaker 2: There was a lot of headlines, some juicy ones, some
27:15
Speaker 2: big ones. Let's see if Kathy and Susan will make
