This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hey guys, welcome to another Bendless Headlines episode.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
And that's okay.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
I'm not thinking about event at all.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
He has been away doing a cool cruise thing with
Wells and Chris Harrison, which I'm bummed that I didn't
get to go to. But today we have our producer
Heather joining us to break down headlines with me because
we have a couple juicy ones. We wanted to get
them out there before he came back. So let's talk
about Melissa Ryecroft's I.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Mean is gonna be We're gonna be honest.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
It's gonna be a little lowkward.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
To talk around.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
She was she got a dui and she was Yes,
she was driving one talksd and she got arrested. And
the mug shots not great.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
It was not a.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Great photo in the list of you know, good mug
shots shots.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah, like this, this one looks like she was arrested
drunk driving.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yeah, does look like that.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
The photo was made public after the news broke that
she was arrested on September twenty third in Texas with
a DWI. TMZ reported that she was released on bond
after eight hours. She posted bail at one thousand dollars
and promised you pier in court. She allegedly told officers
at the time that a driver hit her car and
(01:29):
fled the scene, but an eyewitness allegedly contradicted her report,
according to a search warrant obtained by the outlet, and
the eyewitness alleged that Melissa's car was the only one
involved in the accident, said that the police on the
(01:51):
scene encountered her bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and she stood
next to an off duty firefighter on the scene. And
then her attorney has of course said, I want to
remind the public of the fundamental principle of our justice system.
Every individual is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Toats agree,
(02:14):
and that's kind of where we stand with that. If
you guys don't remember where Melissa Ryecroft is placed in
the whole Bachelor lore. She came to fame after winning
Jason Mesnik's final rows, but then he of course later
dumbed her for Molly Mesnick, his now wife of over
(02:35):
a decade on like basically it all happened on the
after show.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
And just to say at the time of this recording,
she has still not made any sort of public comment
or acknowledged this incident as of yet.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, she's been living pretty privately with her husband, Tys Strickland.
They they got married in two thousand and nine. Yeah,
everybody's been together. It's been crazy because it feels like
when you think of Melissa Rai Kraft and Jason Mesnik,
it feels like it was just yesterday and it was
two thousand and nine.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I mean, you know that's when she found somebody else
and got married.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
That's nuts.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
And they have three kids, Ava fourteen, Beckett eleven, and
Cason nine.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Let's switch gears to something maybe a little bit more happy.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
This one is crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Gary Turner is engaged to his new girlfriend fifteen months
after finalizing his divorced from Teresa.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You know who we have to have on the podcast now, Teresa.
That woman loves to give us tea. She is unfiltered
and I love it. So has anybody.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Checked on Teresa since this?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Oh my god, I cannot even imagine her reaction to this. Obviously,
we know that Gary has been dating this woman for
a little bit now, but I can't imagine that that
Teresa wouldn't be greatly affected by the fact that he's
now going to get married again after having such a
(04:00):
quick divorce turnaround. Last time, he posted on Instagram, big news,
the Golden Bachelor is off the market. I found my
perfect match. She said, Yes, I love this woman. How
long have they been together?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Do we know?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Fifteen?
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Oh, like less than a year. They definitely didn't go
public until this year, but I can't remember the exact tea.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Yeah, well it's quick.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
We definitely are going to be having Gary come on
the show before the end of the month. You know,
he's got a new memoir coming out as well, so
lots to discuss with him.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I feel like Gary like probably hates me because, like
I make fun of him a lot.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Let's be honest, I think the world did so. I
mean you're okay, I think.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
You're right alrighty.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Then Robert Irwin, who you know of us, the Crocodile
Hunter's son, and ABC is loving their Hulu crossover, and
you know they they're like wanting to marry all their
shows together. Somebody asked Robert, who's currently on Dancing with
the Stars, if he'll be interested in being the Bachelor
(05:17):
since he admitted that he's still looking for his American girl,
and he said, all I can say is stranger things
have happened.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Who knows.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh, Okay, that actually sounds like he has been asked
if there's been interest. I don't think he's like at
all close to being cast, but I think that possibly
ABC has put a little something in his ear. His
dance partner, Whitney Carson, chimed in and she shut down
(05:49):
the idea for now, saying he needs to focus on
dancing and then her, and then Robert responded by saying,
oh my gosh, we'll see.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Maybe you know, I want to do it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Even more now now I want to do it even
more now that you don't want me to do it.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Okay, what do you think? What'd your take? Do you
think they've talked to him?
Speaker 5 (06:09):
I think i've definitely. I know I've said this behind
the scenes multiple times to you guys that I think
that he should be the next Bachelor. He is super wholesome,
He's really such darkly. He did that shoot for People Magazine,
I want to say, earlier this year where he was
like showing off his six pack, had a snake around him,
and I was like, yes, I could see this guy
(06:30):
being the Bachelor, and he was one of the early
ones announced for the Dancing with the Stars cast. I
see it happening. He's wholesome, he's lovely, he's got a
great family.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
He's too young though he's only twenty one. We can't
have a twenty one year old bachelor.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
But he's mature because he like, oh no, he helps
run a zoo.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
He and Bindy are just like so far beyond their years.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Totally. I could see it happening. I could see it happening.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I could see it having down the road.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
But I don't think that I think they would get
so much backlash with a twenty one year old bachelor.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I mean, we've had golden bachelors who have not been.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Ready, I who have not been very PC to be married.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
So I don't know. I don't know. I will see where.
I'm just saying I've thrown my hat into the ring
that I support Robert Irwin being the next Bachelor since
bat People magazine.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Shoot, Okay, already, I cannot support a twenty one year
old bachelor, but I can support him being the Bachelor
because he is very adorbed.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
I'm Kristin Davis, host of the podcast Are You a Charlotte.
I'm so excited to share that I got to sit
down with incredible Bridget moynihan, who plays Natasha Bigg's wife.
She is telling stories from the very beginning, like why
she almost left the audition.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
I'm calling my agents. I'm like, guys, I have to
go to the other one. And they're like, stay for this,
you need to stay for this. I'm like, well, can't
be late for the next one.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
She shares her thoughts on the bag and carry affair.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
I think I actually sat out loud sometimes like, no,
she was having an affair with my husband.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Let's break this down.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
And what it was like coming back to the show
when we did, and just like that.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
I love that it's Natasha who is caring for her. Yes,
I mean there really is that bond between them.

Kaylin Bell, it's so crazy not to call her.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Miller Keys. With Kaylin Bell.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And Dean, they are being open about their fertility struggles.
I have talked to Kaylin months ago about this, but
she says that they haven't been trying yet for a year,
and at Kaylin's age, I know my doctor told me
not to stress until you get to that year point.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
But she has said.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
That she's been feeling disappointed in their attempts to conceive.
She said in a new Instagram video that Dean and
I have been trying to get pregnant for quite some time,
and honestly, it's harder than I expected. My mom got
pregnant super easily, so I figured it would happen quickly
for me, but that has not been the case. This
journey has been emotional, it's been tough, it hasn't been easy.
(10:09):
I don't know if this was in a sponsored post
with Natural Cycles, but she did say, and not that
that discredits it at all, because lots of times the
ads that you do do coincide with your life very closely.
She said that she's been using natural Cycles to track
her basal body temperature while trying to conceive.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Having all of my year's.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Worth of data in one place has been very helpful
for me and starting and spotting my trends in my
cycle and any irregularities. I've been able to bring the
data to my doctor to figure out what's going on
with me. And she said that Shane Dean have been
are beginning to think about next steps if they are
unable to conceive soon.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
All right, So we are just sending them.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
All the good baby vibes, the baby dust. We're hoping
that happens for them. They're going to be such excellent parents,
and I'm sure it'll happen one day. And then in
sad sort of news. I don't know why I said
sort of, but I'll explain later Carly Wadel, my friend,
said that she's ended her engagement. She has been She
(11:13):
publicly said she's ended her engagement to Todd Allen Trestler.
It ended a couple a bit, a little bit ago.
They did go to Paris in July, and they did
go and move into and move in together earlier.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
In the year. I want to say it was springtime.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
And so yeah, they did big life things together and
they have decided to call it off. And I will
let Carly talk about that more. She wants to talk
about it more. But I think that she knows that
it's for the very best for her and her family.
I feel bad that she had to, you know, move
the kids out of where they were living, but she
(11:56):
said that they love the new neighborhood now, and it's
just that that's what sucks. It's just like that, like
she uprooted her life out of the house that she
loved that she bought herself. And but she did say
in an Instagram video this week, real talk. It's a
post I've been delaying so that, but so that I
can feel more free here we go. I'm always trying
(12:18):
to be real with you guys.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
So I'm going to.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Be real with you now, I'm not wearing a ring.
I did break off my engagement about a month ago.
It's not a decision that I personally made overnight. It
was really bad time because the kids had started school
in sports and all those things. But you know what
it is, what it is, and I feel very at
peace of this decision. My kids are loving life in
a new place, and honestly, dating after divorce and dating
(12:42):
with kids is super difficult and you have to make
the decisions for yourself and your family.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
So that's where I'm at.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
And I definitely know that she made the best decision
for her family.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
And she's still in the Nashville area.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I know that, and she's close with and her parents
are in the area, so I'm sure she's doing just fine.
And I will be seen Carly for her fortieth birthday
this coming weekend because we are doing eight chrys Soul's
Bachelor Girls reunion and we're all staying at Caitlyn's house
and we are so excited. So will uh, you'll be
(13:15):
following a lot on Instagram, I'm assuming.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Wait, I love it.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
I love that. Yeah, what are you like when you
do a girl's weekend like what kind of stuff do
you look forward to the most when you're away from
the kids, which who you love, and you're away from
your husband. What's kind of the big thing that you
look forward to the most on a girl's weekend.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I'm just thinking that like morning coffee, just sitting around
in sweats, and then probably just like being cozy and
like probably like just having some drinks to the girls
at night too. Just like I don't know what we're
gonna do yet, honestly have to like text the group
and be like, so do we need to make reservations
for certain places? Like what's the actual do? Are we
gonna make an itinerary? Are we gonna wing it?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
But we are going to do like sort of fun
witches night.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Oh where everybody's gonna be a different witch.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Wait, I love this.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
I love this. Please make focus pocus like TikTok.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, we're definitely gonna be just doing social media a ton,
I'm sure, which well I hope not feel like work,
but it's just like to get I think there's seven
of us together after eleven years, it's just too good
not to just do all that stuff.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
I like really love that and I think it really
is a testament to kind of how special the show
is that you still have that kind of fun bond
with these girls that you went through this super unique
experience with. I really love that.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
What is really cool about the Bachelor is the friends
that you make are kind of the friends where you
can go a couple of years without seeing them and
then you see them and it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Feel weird at all.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, and that's the best kind of friendships.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
For you, guys, this sounds like really fun.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Thanks, We're super excited.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Our last headline of the day is Gary Levingston. He
hard launched a new relationship with the new girlfriend. What
Why do we feel like this is correct? Why do
I feel like this is crazy? Okay, so Gary, everybody's
lovable Gary from Bachelor in Paradise and the Golden Bachelorette
who had a connection and was like I thought, like
(15:18):
kind of dating flirting with Leslie is definitely no longer
flirting with Leslie. He took to his Instagram to say
that he's found love like we're at the love word
off screen and he says it's never too late, sixty six,
never too late to find the one that you're equally
yoked with on an energy level, and he's referring to
(15:42):
them as Big G and Little G.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
It's real.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Okay, So I actually am gonna throw this to you
because weren't you with Gary in Tahoe.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I've never met Gary in real life.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Oh my gosh. So I've met Gary so many times,
love him to pieces. You know, we set him up
on a blind date with Kelly ben Simone earlier this year. Yes,
I was in Tahoe where he was with Leslie and
we were kind of sussing out what was going on
because Paradise was still airing at the time, so they
were being very hush hush, but they seemed like they
(16:19):
were canoodling, like they're definitely seemed like a vibe. But yeah,
so you're not the only one who was shocked by
this answer or this news. I was as well when
I saw it. But all I can say is Gary
is a lover. We love this h I am so
happy for him. He was definitely, like to remember on Paradise,
(16:40):
he was kind of like the big cheese like everybody
all the ladies were like circling around him and like
wanting to know Gary. He gives off that fun vibe
and he's just really really nice and has really great energy.
So I'm happy for him. I'm glad to see that
he's got a girlfriend because I know that finding a
partner has been something we've talked, you know, off camera
(17:02):
and stuff, and that is something that's been really important
to him. So I'm happy for him.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I'm so happy for him too.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Good job, Gary, Yeah already. Well that is it for
this week. We are so grateful for you stepping in, Heather.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
You know where to find me, Ashley.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
We'll talk soon. Bye, see ya. Until next time, I've
been Ashley, I've been Heather.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
Totally. I could see it happening. I could see it happening.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I could see it having down the road.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
But I don't think that I think they would get
so much backlash with a twenty one year old bachelor.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I mean, we've had golden bachelors who have not been.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Ready, I who have not been very PC to be married.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
So I don't know. I don't know. I will see where.
I'm just saying I've thrown my hat into the ring
that I support Robert Irwin being the next Bachelor since
bat People magazine.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Shoot, Okay, already, I cannot support a twenty one year
old bachelor, but I can support him being the Bachelor
because he is very adorbed.

Kaylin Bell, it's so crazy not to call her.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Miller Keys. With Kaylin Bell.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And Dean, they are being open about their fertility struggles.
I have talked to Kaylin months ago about this, but
she says that they haven't been trying yet for a year,
and at Kaylin's age, I know my doctor told me
not to stress until you get to that year point.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
But she has said.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
That she's been feeling disappointed in their attempts to conceive.
She said in a new Instagram video that Dean and
I have been trying to get pregnant for quite some time,
and honestly, it's harder than I expected. My mom got
pregnant super easily, so I figured it would happen quickly
for me, but that has not been the case. This
journey has been emotional, it's been tough, it hasn't been easy.
(10:09):
I don't know if this was in a sponsored post
with Natural Cycles, but she did say, and not that
that discredits it at all, because lots of times the
ads that you do do coincide with your life very closely.
She said that she's been using natural Cycles to track
her basal body temperature while trying to conceive.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Having all of my year's.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Worth of data in one place has been very helpful
for me and starting and spotting my trends in my
cycle and any irregularities. I've been able to bring the
data to my doctor to figure out what's going on
with me. And she said that Shane Dean have been
are beginning to think about next steps if they are
unable to conceive soon.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
All right, So we are just sending them.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
All the good baby vibes, the baby dust. We're hoping
that happens for them. They're going to be such excellent parents,
and I'm sure it'll happen one day. And then in
sad sort of news. I don't know why I said
sort of, but I'll explain later Carly Wadel, my friend,
said that she's ended her engagement. She has been She
(11:13):
publicly said she's ended her engagement to Todd Allen Trestler.
It ended a couple a bit, a little bit ago.
They did go to Paris in July, and they did
go and move into and move in together earlier.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
In the year. I want to say it was springtime.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
And so yeah, they did big life things together and
they have decided to call it off. And I will
let Carly talk about that more. She wants to talk
about it more. But I think that she knows that
it's for the very best for her and her family.
I feel bad that she had to, you know, move
the kids out of where they were living, but she
(11:56):
said that they love the new neighborhood now, and it's
just that that's what sucks. It's just like that, like
she uprooted her life out of the house that she
loved that she bought herself. And but she did say
in an Instagram video this week, real talk. It's a
post I've been delaying so that, but so that I
can feel more free here we go. I'm always trying
(12:18):
to be real with you guys.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
So I'm going to.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Be real with you now, I'm not wearing a ring.
I did break off my engagement about a month ago.
It's not a decision that I personally made overnight. It
was really bad time because the kids had started school
in sports and all those things. But you know what
it is, what it is, and I feel very at
peace of this decision. My kids are loving life in
a new place, and honestly, dating after divorce and dating
(12:42):
with kids is super difficult and you have to make
the decisions for yourself and your family.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
So that's where I'm at.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
And I definitely know that she made the best decision
for her family.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
And she's still in the Nashville area.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I know that, and she's close with and her parents
are in the area, so I'm sure she's doing just fine.
And I will be seen Carly for her fortieth birthday
this coming weekend because we are doing eight chrys Soul's
Bachelor Girls reunion and we're all staying at Caitlyn's house
and we are so excited. So will uh, you'll be
(13:15):
following a lot on Instagram, I'm assuming.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Wait, I love it.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
I love that. Yeah, what are you like when you
do a girl's weekend like what kind of stuff do
you look forward to the most when you're away from
the kids, which who you love, and you're away from
your husband. What's kind of the big thing that you
look forward to the most on a girl's weekend.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I'm just thinking that like morning coffee, just sitting around
in sweats, and then probably just like being cozy and
like probably like just having some drinks to the girls
at night too. Just like I don't know what we're
gonna do yet, honestly have to like text the group
and be like, so do we need to make reservations
for certain places? Like what's the actual do? Are we
gonna make an itinerary? Are we gonna wing it?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
But we are going to do like sort of fun
witches night.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Oh where everybody's gonna be a different witch.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Wait, I love this.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
I love this. Please make focus pocus like TikTok.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, we're definitely gonna be just doing social media a ton,
I'm sure, which well I hope not feel like work,
but it's just like to get I think there's seven
of us together after eleven years, it's just too good
not to just do all that stuff.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
I like really love that and I think it really
is a testament to kind of how special the show
is that you still have that kind of fun bond
with these girls that you went through this super unique
experience with. I really love that.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
What is really cool about the Bachelor is the friends
that you make are kind of the friends where you
can go a couple of years without seeing them and
then you see them and it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Feel weird at all.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, and that's the best kind of friendships.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
For you, guys, this sounds like really fun.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Thanks, We're super excited.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Our last headline of the day is Gary Levingston. He
hard launched a new relationship with the new girlfriend. What
Why do we feel like this is correct? Why do
I feel like this is crazy? Okay, so Gary, everybody's
lovable Gary from Bachelor in Paradise and the Golden Bachelorette
who had a connection and was like I thought, like
(15:18):
kind of dating flirting with Leslie is definitely no longer
flirting with Leslie. He took to his Instagram to say
that he's found love like we're at the love word
off screen and he says it's never too late, sixty six,
never too late to find the one that you're equally
yoked with on an energy level, and he's referring to
(15:42):
them as Big G and Little G.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
It's real.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Okay, So I actually am gonna throw this to you
because weren't you with Gary in Tahoe.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I've never met Gary in real life.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Oh my gosh. So I've met Gary so many times,
love him to pieces. You know, we set him up
on a blind date with Kelly ben Simone earlier this year. Yes,
I was in Tahoe where he was with Leslie and
we were kind of sussing out what was going on
because Paradise was still airing at the time, so they
were being very hush hush, but they seemed like they
(16:19):
were canoodling, like they're definitely seemed like a vibe. But yeah,
so you're not the only one who was shocked by
this answer or this news. I was as well when
I saw it. But all I can say is Gary
is a lover. We love this h I am so
happy for him. He was definitely, like to remember on Paradise,
(16:40):
he was kind of like the big cheese like everybody
all the ladies were like circling around him and like
wanting to know Gary. He gives off that fun vibe
and he's just really really nice and has really great energy.
So I'm happy for him. I'm glad to see that
he's got a girlfriend because I know that finding a
partner has been something we've talked, you know, off camera
(17:02):
and stuff, and that is something that's been really important
to him. So I'm happy for him.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I'm so happy for him too.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Good job, Gary, Yeah already. Well that is it for
this week. We are so grateful for you stepping in, Heather.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
You know where to find me, Ashley.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
We'll talk soon. Bye, see ya. Until next time, I've
been Ashley, I've been Heather.
