I just think there 13 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,599 Speaker 3: is trouble in paradise. But I'm also just being dramatic. 14 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, so where do they want to tie it out? 15 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 3: They were on the Happy Hour podcast with Joe and 16 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 3: Sergoona this weekend or this week, and they said that 17 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 3: they are brainstorming ideas for the big day.

She's got really deep Italian roots. 23 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 2: It's you know what I do think. I listened to 24 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 2: that episode. There was moments where I don't think we 25 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 2: were that far off. I think there is you know, questions. 26 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: I don't know if they're struggling or not, but there's questions. 27 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 2: I also think moving closer together will probably be helpful. 28 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: It feels like it's distances, you know, been at play here. 29 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 2: The next headline is this Kelsey Anderson talks wedding planning 30 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 2: with Joey. We got a lot of wedding planning going. 31 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 2: Maybe I'll ask him this weekend about where he's getting 32 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: married when. 33 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, get a headline for us ben So she said 34 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 3: that they're getting the process started. So Kelsey said that 35 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 3: they're really going to try to dig in after the 36 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 3: birthday and after that, wedding planning is the next on 37 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 3: the list. It's a whole new list of things that 38 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: they're going to have to come up with. Date, location, 39 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 3: those are their priorities. 40 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 4: Of course. 41 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: Now I have been around the two of them, and 42 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: I will be around the two of them one or 43 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 2: at least Joey the next two months. We have things 44 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 2: planned together, all golf related. Obviously, you don't want to compare. 45 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: That doesn't sound healthy. I will say this, the two 46 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 2: of them are as strong as any couple I've ever 47 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: seen coming out of the franchise. I mean, I think 48 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 2: I've always used to say Jojo and Jordan seem like 49 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 2: they were just like rock steady, right. But I'd also 50 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 2: say that Zach and Katie are up there. But I 51 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: Joey and Kelsey just they just get each other. You 52 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 2: can see the love, the support, the care. I have 53 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 2: zero doubt that they're making big plans for their futures. 54 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 5: Oh that's great, that's great. 55 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 3: It seems like that from afar, but I've only met 56 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 3: him once and then I haven't met her yet. But 57 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 3: I love hearing mat because they're one of my favorites 58 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 3: as a fangirl. 59 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, Michelle Young celebrates bachelorette party in Arizona. 60 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 4: Goodness. 61 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 2: I remember during the Golden Wedding when we met her. 62 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 2: I think it was just then boyfriend loved the guy, 63 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: nice guy, so handsome. I remember just being like overwhelmed 64 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 2: with his beauty. So it's cool to see, you know, 65 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: this come to this point where they're now planning, you know, 66 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 2: next steps. 67 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: Yes, so her maid of honor is Ryan Klater. So, 68 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 3: Ryan arrived in week three of Matt James's season and 69 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 3: was eliminated week five. She was one of the girls 70 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 3: that went in with Michelle late. 71 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 4: Ah. 72 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 3: Interesting, yeah, yeah, it's okay, you guys, you can't remember everything. 73 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 5: But the. 74 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: Bachelorette party was in Scottsdale. I like a Scottsdale bachelorette party. 75 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 3: And I remember when Michelle was last on the podcast, 76 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 3: I want to say about two months ago. She said 77 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 3: that the wedding was very soon coming up, like so, 78 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 3: I think that it'll be within the next month or so. 79 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,799 Speaker 3: And they said that over the weekend, the ladies enjoyed 80 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 3: lounging by the pool, riding ATVs, going out to a club, 81 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,119 Speaker 3: and sipping delicious drinks by the pool. 82 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 4: We got to celebrate Michelle. 83 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 2: You know what, it's incredibly awesome to see bachelor's favorites, 84 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: you know, finding love. 85 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 4: Now. We have a little audio clip here. 86 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: I think it's relatable Ashley in a lot of ways, 87 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: but it's from Mollie Mesnick. The headlines is this Molly 88 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 2: Mesnick forgets she was ever on The Bachelor, let's listen in. 89 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 6: I don't even remember being on the Bachelor, Like it 90 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 6: feels like ages ago since we did that, Like it 91 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 6: feels like a lifetime ago. We're so far removed from 92 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 6: that world, Like Jason and I of a really normal life. 93 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 4: We work normal jobs. 94 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 6: Like doing something like this is like way out of 95 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 6: my comfort zone. 96 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 5: I'm just so far removed from the Bachelor world. But 97 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 5: it's fun being able to come and do stuff like this. 98 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 3: For clarification sake, Molly during this interview is at the 99 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 3: premiere of a movie. It's like a Lifetime movie or something, 100 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 3: and she says that that is something that she's just 101 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 3: so unfamiliar with doing these days. 102 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 5: No, I cannot relate. 103 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 3: I remember being on the Bachelor quite well, wonderful life 104 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 3: changing experience as it was for Mollie. 105 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 5: It was a few years further back for her. 106 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. 107 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 3: Know, I just yes, I remember, I remember a lot. 108 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 2: Sam Jeffries discusses breast implant removal surgery and an emotional post. 109 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 3: Sam Jeffries might not be a name that you remember, 110 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 3: but she was on season twenty six of the Bachelor, 111 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 3: and she was on the last season a Bachelor in 112 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 3: Paradise and you saw your picture. Yeah, okay, if you 113 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 3: saw a picture, you would remember. 114 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 5: And now that Ben said the consipated thing. 115 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 3: She had to leave Paradise early because she hadn't pooped 116 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 3: in at least nine days. 117 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 5: That's probably how you remember her. 118 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 3: She got them removed, and she said that she already 119 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 3: felt lighter immediately after surgery, physically, emotionally, spiritually. She said 120 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 3: that back in twenty seventeen, she found a lump that 121 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 3: had to be removed, and then another one showed up 122 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 3: on a mammogram. Both were taken out, and after the 123 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 3: second surgery she got implants. Because she had lost so 124 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 3: much tissue during the surgeries that she didn't even recognize 125 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 3: her body anymore. But she said that she was told 126 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 3: that one implant was placed and the other one. 127 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: Was. 128 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 3: It was like the other side had one temporary. It 129 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 3: was like a temporary implant. It had to be removed 130 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 3: because it was too big. So I guess one side 131 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 3: was good when the other side was too big. And 132 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 3: then she found out that there was still a small 133 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 3: implant in there after the temporary we had been taken out. 134 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 3: It was lots of process, she said, but she just 135 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 3: feels really good about the decision to completely remove them. 136 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 3: Good just another example of girls in Bachelor Nation getting 137 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 3: rid of their breast implants. Claire and Amanda have both 138 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: gotten rid of them recently and feel much better without them. 139 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 3: So thank you girls for giving me confidence and not 140 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 3: getting them for my small postpartum boobies. 141 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 2: Speaking of Claire, Claire, Crawley opens up about struggling with 142 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 2: medical condition. 143 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 4: Now. 144 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 2: We did talk about Claire getting her breast implants removed 145 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: just a few years ago, and she's back on Instagram. 146 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: Speaking about this medical condition, Ashley tell us everything. 147 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, she has topical steroid with drawl. She says that 148 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 3: she's finally sharing something that she's kept hidden for quite 149 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 3: some time. For those who missed it, she said she's 150 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 3: even though she has taught she's you know, she's mentioned 151 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 3: not feeling confident when the way that she's looked lately. 152 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 3: She said that she had something. It was almost a 153 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 3: year ago. I remember her saying, I have filters on 154 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 3: on Instagram a lot because I'm just going through something 155 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,239 Speaker 3: that I don't feel super confident about my appearance right now. 156 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 3: She did at some point mentioned that it had to 157 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 3: do with a steroid and how it was like kind 158 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 3: of making her puffy, which steroids often do, and now, 159 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 3: she said, she's still suffering with it. She doesn't have answers. 160 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 3: I'm not on the other side with a shiny bow 161 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 3: tied around it, she said. But I couldn't keep quiet 162 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 3: about it anymore. I'm walking through this moment my moment, 163 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 3: but sharing it is part of my healing now. And 164 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 3: you're in the middle of something very hard, and I 165 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 3: hope this reminds you if you are too, that you're 166 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 3: not alone. 167 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 5: That is awful.
