Anyways, he said that he got 22 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: a lot of heat, rightfully, so and the show's like, Okay, 23 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: we're not gonna we're not gonna shy away from it. 24 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: This is what he said, mel let's talk about and 25 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: he's just like I said it. I regret saying it, 26 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: like it was stupid. That's not really what I meant. 27 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: I can't wait to meet all these women. I don't 28 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: care how old they are or if they do have 29 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: artificial hips. Bring on the hips, Bring on the hips. 30 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: And his point, I think was he was trying to 31 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: just get across that he wants somebody that's vibrant and energetic, 32 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: and if you do have a fake hip, that doesn't 33 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: mean you can't be vibrant and energetic. There's a lot 34 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: we could do with fake hips these days, tell him Joe. Yeah, 35 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: So we kind of we get that out of the 36 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: way and we get a few limit entrances where, of 37 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: course people are gonna call him out on that, but 38 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: I'm glad it was only a few women. 39 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 2: So I was like, okay, like, yeah, like, I'm all 40 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 2: for beating a dead horse sometimes, but we're like really 41 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: getting close to beating a dead horse. I think that 42 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: it was a great way to open the show. You know, 43 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: let's just hit the nail on the head with what's 44 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 2: going on here, Let's get it out of the way 45 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: so we can move past it. 46 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: Yeah. 47 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: I thought the couple digs from the women was cute 48 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 2: and necessary, and I think him addressing it in his toast. 49 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: I think his apology was genuine and we can move 50 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 2: forward comfortably. We get his intro package, which is obviously 51 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 2: kind of important because we don't really know a lot 52 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 2: about this guy. He hasn't been on the show before. 53 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: We see a lot of football photos, and then we 54 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 2: find out that in twenty twenty, his dad passed away 55 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 2: during COVID and his wife filed for divorce as she 56 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 2: had found someone knows, and he is now the committed 57 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 2: father of two boys.

I'm sure they get 65 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: it from him. He played on the Los Angeles Rams 66 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: for I think ten years. He's also an attorney. We 67 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: did interview him, and I did ask him about his wife, 68 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: and he basically said, like I'm not talking, like he didn't. 69 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: He just kind of like shut it down. 70 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 2: Very very short answer, very you know, one word answer 71 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: about the wife. So I'm curious to see if we 72 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: talk about her more, learn more about her. Also, I 73 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: get like divorces sensitive and maybe he just wants to 74 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 2: out of respect, like leave her out of this, which 75 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 2: I also understand. You know, it's the mother of his kids. 76 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: Do you think he's going to be able to get 77 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: vulnerable because one of the ladies said it to him. 78 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: I think Roxanne said it to him on this episode, 79 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: and I know you were like, uh no, you're not. 80 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: Mel doesn't strike me as someone who is getting vulnerable 81 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 2: on the rag. 82 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: You know. 83 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: I'm sure that when he's comfortable with his people, with 84 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 2: his kids, maybe with his partner, he can get vulnerable. 85 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 2: But he doesn't strike me as someone who's like diving 86 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 2: deep emotionally with all of these women every single week. 87 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 2: You know. I mean, maybe I'm I'm going off like 88 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 2: the athlete stereotype here, but I'm also going off the 89 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: interview that we had with him and kind of what 90 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 2: we've seen of him. So far, and he seems to 91 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: be a little bit more of a closed off guy. 92 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: My take a Mel is I think he's I think 93 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: he's actually very sensitive. 94 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: Maybe yeah, closed off and not comfortable with vulnerability doesn't 95 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 2: mean you don't have emotion, you're not sensitive. I think, like, yeah, 96 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 2: you might be right, maybe both are true. But I'm 97 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 2: excited to kind of get to know more about him 98 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 2: through the season.

I don't hate that prediction. Okay, 185 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 2: we didn't see a lot of her in the first episode, 186 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 2: but I don't think that means anything. Peg, who was 187 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 2: the Bomb Squad Tech. She your favorite, She's my favorite. 188 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: She said it multiple times during this episode. 189 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 2: Peg reminds me very much of one of my best 190 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 2: friend's moms, and I love her dearly. So to see 191 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 2: Peg reminds me of her, I'm just like, and that's 192 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 2: my girl, that's my girl, Like I ride for Peg. 193 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 2: She reminds me so much of my friend's mom, and like, yeah, 194 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 2: that's it. I love her. Every time she's on screen, 195 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 2: I'm like, she's just so happy. She warms my heart. 196 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: I think she's gonna be there for a minute. 197 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: What did you think of Andra, which is Sondra's twin. 198 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 2: Sondra was on Gary season of The Golden Bachelor. 199 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, she's Sondra's twin literal least Sodra. I think, Yeah, 200 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: so Sondra was one of the older women. Well, I 201 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: think she was the oldest woman on Gary se Gary season, 202 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: and I do think I don't know, I mean, that's like, 203 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: what is that now that that's a ten plus year difference. 204 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 2: Not quite but almost. She's almost ten years older than mel. 205 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, but yeah, we didn't see I mean, we 206 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: didn't see much of them together, so it's really hard 207 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: to even make a judgment call on what went down 208 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: there because she goes home. 209 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it must have just been a lack 210 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 2: of connection. I think it's always surprising when a family 211 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: member or friend or relative of a past contestant comes 212 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 2: on and goes home so quickly. I mean we saw 213 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 2: that with Matt James's mom, Patti as well, and it 214 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 2: always catches me by surprise that she's like super chic 215 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 2: and what she was wearing. But I think, yeah, maybe 216 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 2: just no chemistry. Cheryl came out in a motorcycle. 217 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: Yes, and we will also be having Cheryl as our 218 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: first person that we're going to interview, so make sure 219 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: you stay tuned to that. 220 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 2: Yes, interview with Cheryl coming later this week. We'll talk 221 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 2: about her entrance and all the other things. And then 222 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 2: the only other one I had written down is kind 223 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: of a standout out of the limo was Jerry, you 224 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 2: were like, this woman should be on the comap Like 225 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: her voice is so soothing. 226 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was, and I stand by that, and I 227 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: think if she goes far in the season, she might 228 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: get that deal. 229 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 2: I hope that for her. I hope nothing more than 230 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 2: maybe love, but definitely a comap deal. 231 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: And she she had a you know, her heartbreaking story. 232 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: Her husband passed away when he was forty seven. She 233 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: raised her three kids. 234 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 2: Alone, big differences in the kids, So I think she's 235 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 2: had like fourteen, eight and four. 236 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure they had that. She was a nurse, 237 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: so she's just somebody who you could tell is very 238 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: nurturing and a you know, a caregiver and just yeah, yeah, 239 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: that definitely wasn't easy. So respect for Jerry, and I 240 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: think she might be there for a while. 241 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 2: I think so too. And I think that one of 242 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 2: Mel's biggest things in his life is being a father 243 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 2: to his sons, so I think seeing her passion for 244 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 2: being a mother to her children is something that he 245 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 2: really resonated with. 246 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 247 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 2: Final thoughts on episode one, Jerry was our first impression 248 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 2: Rose recipient. What did you think of that? 249 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: H I think she told a story that really moved him. 250 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: I will say I there was a few other women 251 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: that I thought at least what we saw out of 252 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: the limo had stronger chemistry with him, don't you agree? 253 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 2: Agree to an extent, I agree that I didn't think 254 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 2: that he had the strongest romantic chemistry with Jerry. I 255 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 2: thought that Cheryl peg. Yeah. I would say those were 256 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 2: two that stood out to me of their first conversation 257 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 2: having a lot of chemistry. I mean, we saw that 258 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 2: Cheryl and him kissed, but I think that Jerry and 259 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 2: him bonded on something deeper, maybe than his conversation with 260 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 2: other women. I think they got more vulnerable with each other. 261 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 2: I think the conversation was probably the most impactful conversation 262 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 2: of the night, and I feel like out of all 263 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 2: the conversations, I was able to get a gauge on 264 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 2: like her character the most, and that would be where 265 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 2: the first impression Rose came from. 266 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 1: On would be my I thought he was going to 267 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: give the Who did you think he was going to 268 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: give the first impression Rose to Cheryl? Cheryl? Interesting? 269 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 2: Okay, who'd you think. 270 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: I actually thought he was gonna Well, actually no, because 271 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: she was Sidney was first out of a limo. 272 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 2: And Cindy, Yeah, I usually don't. 273 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: That's always switched. That's why I thought I was gonna 274 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: get it. 275 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 2: Cindy, Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, let's jump over to 276 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 2: part two, which is all the women have entered the 277 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 2: mansion for week one of dates. What do you think 278 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 2: of the Bachelor Mansion. There's like some new furniture happening, 279 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 2: some new betting. The art department is switching it up 280 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 2: for a more modern aesthetic. It feels like I like it. 281 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 2: I feel like it's like true to the Bachelor's style, 282 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 2: but it's given it a little bit of a facelift. 283 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean watching the show, I didn't really notice. 284 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 2: Mister architecture will digest over here. What the heck?

Personally, I would 297 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 2: much rather that as a girl if I have the 298 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: choice to. I'm not talking about you, Joe.

Yeah, 466 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: But what ends up happening every fucking season is there's 467 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: women that have a stronger connection that are going to 468 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: start having a problem with that, and then he's not 469 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: going to be willing to screw up that relationship.

They said, we're not reading these couches in 503 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 2: the living room every single night, Guys, get outside. 504 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: I missed that. 505 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 2: You didn't notice it was by the pool? You didn't notice. 506 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 2: It was fully outside. 507 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: That this is who's to show. 508 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 2: Joe is like, looks the same to me, you. 509 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: Know, the the the actions are the same. 510 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 2: We actually are the same. All Right. We lost four 511 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 2: of our girls. No major surprises, I would say, my lean, Yeah, 512 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 2: home was a surprise too. 513 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: Well, they don't they We never really seen them have 514 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: a conversation. 515 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, we saw a lot of Alexandra's interviews, but not 516 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 2: really a lot of her time with mal Diane and him. 517 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 2: I just don't know if I saw the romantic spark there, Karl. 518 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 2: I was a little surprised, but you know, that's just 519 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 2: kind of how the show works. Lots of amazing women, 520 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 2: but people have got to go home. 521 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think the biggest usually, the most shocking eliminations 522 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: usually come like week two where I'm like, really, yeah, 523 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: like this that you sent her home? Yeah, Like I 524 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 1: feel like there was like four other girls that you 525 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: actually could have sent home over that person. But I 526 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: think I think it just boils down. 527 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 2: To like they're time spent together. 528 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. And I also think I also think like the lead, 529 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: like I think they hit it off with Like I 530 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: would say, anywhere from like three to like six people 531 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: that that are just like they are just kind of 532 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: ahead of the game like that. In my opinion, I 533 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: think the lead usually like there's six people that might 534 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 1: win this, yeah, and everyone else. 535 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 2: Like after night one, I think they have age. There 536 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 2: might be a few sleepers, but like and. 537 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: Then I think like everyone else is kind of like 538 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 1: I know that she won't be there at the end, 539 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:25,880 Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter. 540 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's what did you think of the super 541 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 2: teas for the season? 542 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 1: I wasn't. I wasn't like, WHOA, I think I thought 543 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 1: it was that was fine. That was honestly the best 544 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: super teas I've seen out of this franchise in a 545 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: while was the super tease for Paradise after the first episode. 546 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. 547 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: I didn't even think the first episode was that great, 548 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: but the first episode super teas, I was like, well, 549 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: that was a good supertas. 550 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 2: It was. It was a really good super tease. But 551 00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 2: there's just so much that goes on in Paradise that 552 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 2: you can touch on in the super tees. I feel 553 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 2: like the midway teas, like when you get halfway through 554 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 2: the season and then you get another big super tease, 555 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 2: that one is always juicier than the first. One because 556 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 2: they really don't want to give anything away. It's looking 557 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 2: like a lovely season. We got some love stories, some kisses, 558 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 2: some gorgeous ladies.
