Speaker 2: Yeah, like this, this one looks like she was arrested

Speaker 2: drunk driving.

24
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, does look like that.

25
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: The photo was made public after the news broke that

26
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: she was arrested on September twenty third in Texas with

27
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: a DWI. TMZ reported that she was released on bond

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: after eight hours. She posted bail at one thousand dollars

29
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: and promised you pier in court. She allegedly told officers

30
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: at the time that a driver hit her car and

31
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: fled the scene, but an eyewitness allegedly contradicted her report,

32
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: according to a search warrant obtained by the outlet, and

33
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: the eyewitness alleged that Melissa's car was the only one

34
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: involved in the accident, said that the police on the

35
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: scene encountered her bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and she stood

36
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: next to an off duty firefighter on the scene. And

37
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: then her attorney has of course said, I want to

38
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: remind the public of the fundamental principle of our justice system.

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: Every individual is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Toats agree,

40
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: and that's kind of where we stand with that. If

41
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: you guys don't remember where Melissa Ryecroft is placed in

42
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 2: the whole Bachelor lore. She came to fame after winning

43
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: Jason Mesnik's final rows, but then he of course later

44
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: dumbed her for Molly Mesnick, his now wife of over

45
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: a decade on like basically it all happened on the

46
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: after show.

47
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 5: And just to say at the time of this recording,

48
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 5: she has still not made any sort of public comment

49
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 5: or acknowledged this incident as of yet.

50
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's been living pretty privately with her husband, Tys Strickland.

51
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 2: They they got married in two thousand and nine. Yeah,

52
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: everybody's been together. It's been crazy because it feels like

53
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: when you think of Melissa Rai Kraft and Jason Mesnik,

54
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: it feels like it was just yesterday and it was

55
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine.

56
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 3: I mean, you know that's when she found somebody else

57
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 3: and got married.

58
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 4: That's nuts.

59
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: And they have three kids, Ava fourteen, Beckett eleven, and

60
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: Cason nine.

61
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 5: Let's switch gears to something maybe a little bit more happy.

62
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: This one is crazy.

63
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: Gary Turner is engaged to his new girlfriend fifteen months

64
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 2: after finalizing his divorced from Teresa.

65
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 3: You know who we have to have on the podcast now, Teresa.

66
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: That woman loves to give us tea. She is unfiltered

67
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: and I love it. So has anybody.

68
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 5: Checked on Teresa since this?

69
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I cannot even imagine her reaction to this. Obviously,

70
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: we know that Gary has been dating this woman for

71
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: a little bit now, but I can't imagine that that

72
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: Teresa wouldn't be greatly affected by the fact that he's

73
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: now going to get married again after having such a

74
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: quick divorce turnaround. Last time, he posted on Instagram, big news,

75
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: the Golden Bachelor is off the market. I found my

76
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 2: perfect match. She said, Yes, I love this woman. How

77
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: long have they been together?

78
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 4: Do we know?

79
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: Fifteen?

80
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 5: Oh, like less than a year. They definitely didn't go

81
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 5: public until this year, but I can't remember the exact tea.

82
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, well it's quick.

83
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 5: We definitely are going to be having Gary come on

84
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 5: the show before the end of the month. You know,

85
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 5: he's got a new memoir coming out as well, so

86
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 5: lots to discuss with him.

87
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: I feel like Gary like probably hates me because, like

88
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: I make fun of him a lot.

89
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 5: Let's be honest, I think the world did so. I

90
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 5: mean you're okay, I think.

91
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 3: You're right alrighty.

92
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: Then Robert Irwin, who you know of us, the Crocodile

93
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 2: Hunter's son, and ABC is loving their Hulu crossover, and

94
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: you know they they're like wanting to marry all their

95
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 2: shows together. Somebody asked Robert, who's currently on Dancing with

96
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: the Stars, if he'll be interested in being the Bachelor

97
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 2: since he admitted that he's still looking for his American girl,

98
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: and he said, all I can say is stranger things

99
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: have happened.

100
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: Who knows.

101
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: Oh, Okay, that actually sounds like he has been asked

102
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: if there's been interest. I don't think he's like at

103
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 2: all close to being cast, but I think that possibly

104
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 2: ABC has put a little something in his ear. His

105
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: dance partner, Whitney Carson, chimed in and she shut down

106
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 2: the idea for now, saying he needs to focus on

107
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: dancing and then her, and then Robert responded by saying,

108
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, we'll see.

109
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 4: Maybe you know, I want to do it.

110
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: Even more now now I want to do it even

111
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 2: more now that you don't want me to do it.

112
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you think? What'd your take? Do you

113
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 3: think they've talked to him?

114
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 5: I think i've definitely. I know I've said this behind

115
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 5: the scenes multiple times to you guys that I think

116
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 5: that he should be the next Bachelor. He is super wholesome,

117
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 5: He's really such darkly. He did that shoot for People Magazine,

118
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 5: I want to say, earlier this year where he was

119
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 5: like showing off his six pack, had a snake around him,

120
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 5: and I was like, yes, I could see this guy

121
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 5: being the Bachelor, and he was one of the early

122
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 5: ones announced for the Dancing with the Stars cast. I

123
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 5: see it happening. He's wholesome, he's lovely, he's got a

124
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 5: great family.

125
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: He's too young though he's only twenty one. We can't

126
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 2: have a twenty one year old bachelor.

127
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 5: But he's mature because he like, oh no, he helps

128
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 5: run a zoo.

129
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 4: He and Bindy are just like so far beyond their years.

130
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 5: Totally. I could see it happening. I could see it happening.

131
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 4: I could see it having down the road.

132
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: But I don't think that I think they would get

133
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: so much backlash with a twenty one year old bachelor.

134
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 5: I mean, we've had golden bachelors who have not been.

135
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: Ready, I who have not been very PC to be married.

136
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 5: So I don't know. I don't know. I will see where.

137
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 5: I'm just saying I've thrown my hat into the ring

138
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,559
Speaker 5: that I support Robert Irwin being the next Bachelor since

139
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 5: bat People magazine.

140
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: Shoot, Okay, already, I cannot support a twenty one year

141
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: old bachelor, but I can support him being the Bachelor

142
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: because he is very adorbed.

143
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 6: I'm Kristin Davis, host of the podcast Are You a Charlotte.

144
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 6: I'm so excited to share that I got to sit

145
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 6: down with incredible Bridget moynihan, who plays Natasha Bigg's wife.

146
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 6: She is telling stories from the very beginning, like why

147
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 6: she almost left the audition.

148
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 7: I'm calling my agents. I'm like, guys, I have to

149
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 7: go to the other one. And they're like, stay for this,

150
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 7: you need to stay for this. I'm like, well, can't

151
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 7: be late for the next one.

152
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: She shares her thoughts on the bag and carry affair.

153
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 7: I think I actually sat out loud sometimes like, no,

154
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 7: she was having an affair with my husband.

155
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: Let's break this down.

156
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 6: And what it was like coming back to the show

157
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 6: when we did, and just like that.

158
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 7: I love that it's Natasha who is caring for her. Yes,

159
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 7: I mean there really is that bond between them.

160
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,040

177
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: And Dean, they are being open about their fertility struggles.

178
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: I have talked to Kaylin months ago about this, but

179
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: she says that they haven't been trying yet for a year,

180
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: and at Kaylin's age, I know my doctor told me

181
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 2: not to stress until you get to that year point.

182
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,119
Speaker 4: But she has said.

183
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: That she's been feeling disappointed in their attempts to conceive.

184
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 2: She said in a new Instagram video that Dean and

185
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: I have been trying to get pregnant for quite some time,

186
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 2: and honestly, it's harder than I expected. My mom got

187
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: pregnant super easily, so I figured it would happen quickly

188
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: for me, but that has not been the case. This

189
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: journey has been emotional, it's been tough, it hasn't been easy.

190
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: I don't know if this was in a sponsored post

191
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: with Natural Cycles, but she did say, and not that

192
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: that discredits it at all, because lots of times the

193
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 2: ads that you do do coincide with your life very closely.

194
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 2: She said that she's been using natural Cycles to track

195
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: her basal body temperature while trying to conceive.

196
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 4: Having all of my year's.

197
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 2: Worth of data in one place has been very helpful

198
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 2: for me and starting and spotting my trends in my

199
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: cycle and any irregularities. I've been able to bring the

200
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: data to my doctor to figure out what's going on

201
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: with me. And she said that Shane Dean have been

202
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: are beginning to think about next steps if they are

203
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: unable to conceive soon.

204
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 4: All right, So we are just sending them.

205
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: All the good baby vibes, the baby dust. We're hoping

206
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: that happens for them. They're going to be such excellent parents,

207
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: and I'm sure it'll happen one day. And then in

208
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 2: sad sort of news. I don't know why I said

209
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: sort of, but I'll explain later Carly Wadel, my friend,

210
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: said that she's ended her engagement. She has been She

211
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: publicly said she's ended her engagement to Todd Allen Trestler.

212
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: It ended a couple a bit, a little bit ago.

213
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 2: They did go to Paris in July, and they did

214
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: go and move into and move in together earlier.

215
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 4: In the year. I want to say it was springtime.

216
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: And so yeah, they did big life things together and

217
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 2: they have decided to call it off. And I will

218
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 2: let Carly talk about that more. She wants to talk

219
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: about it more. But I think that she knows that

220
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 2: it's for the very best for her and her family.

221
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 2: I feel bad that she had to, you know, move

222
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 2: the kids out of where they were living, but she

223
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: said that they love the new neighborhood now, and it's

224
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: just that that's what sucks. It's just like that, like

225
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: she uprooted her life out of the house that she

226
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: loved that she bought herself. And but she did say

227
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 2: in an Instagram video this week, real talk. It's a

228
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 2: post I've been delaying so that, but so that I

229
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 2: can feel more free here we go. I'm always trying

230
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: to be real with you guys.

231
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 4: So I'm going to.

232
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: Be real with you now, I'm not wearing a ring.

233
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: I did break off my engagement about a month ago.

234
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 2: It's not a decision that I personally made overnight. It

235
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: was really bad time because the kids had started school

236
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 2: in sports and all those things. But you know what

237
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 2: it is, what it is, and I feel very at

238
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 2: peace of this decision. My kids are loving life in

239
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 2: a new place, and honestly, dating after divorce and dating

240
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 2: with kids is super difficult and you have to make

241
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: the decisions for yourself and your family.

242
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 4: So that's where I'm at.

243
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 2: And I definitely know that she made the best decision

244
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: for her family.

245
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 3: And she's still in the Nashville area.

246
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 2: I know that, and she's close with and her parents

247
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: are in the area, so I'm sure she's doing just fine.

248
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,960

Speaker 2: who had a connection and was like I thought, like

298
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: kind of dating flirting with Leslie is definitely no longer

299
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: flirting with Leslie. He took to his Instagram to say

300
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: that he's found love like we're at the love word

303
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: yoked with on an energy level, and he's referring to

305
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:46,040

00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,600

Speaker 3: I've never met Gary in real life.

309
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh. So I've met Gary so many times,

310
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 5: love him to pieces. You know, we set him up

311
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 5: on a blind date with Kelly ben Simone earlier this year. Yes,

312
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 5: I was in Tahoe where he was with Leslie and

313
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 5: we were kind of sussing out what was going on

314
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 5: because Paradise was still airing at the time, so they

315
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 5: were being very hush hush, but they seemed like they

316
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:25,360
