<v Speaker 1>to talk to today.

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 3>I had to said when they first came to us

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 3>about I Do Part two, and we said, okay, it

0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:00.160
<v Speaker 3>sounds fun. They gave us a couple of names, and

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:04.399
<v Speaker 3>then they told us about Kelly bin Simone. I was like, okay, cool, fine,

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 3>and went back and watched her season, yes, our seasons

0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:16.480
<v Speaker 3>as a real housewife yep, and got one impression. But

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 3>then when we met her, she is absolutely one of

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 3>the highlights of agreeing to do I Do Part two.

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 3>She is just this is a compliment, Kelly, You're a hoot.

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 3>That's a compliment. Okay, she's a hoot.

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 1>She's full of life and enthusiasm, and I would just

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.279
<v Speaker 1>go with this. You're passionate, Kelly, and I appreciate someone

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.479
<v Speaker 1>who's invested, and that means sometimes when things are good

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes when things aren't so good, but you know

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>exactly where you stand. And I appreciate people like that.

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>You don't mince words, you don't pretend, you say what

0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 1>you think, and you mean what you say. And so

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 1>we like people like you.

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 4>Kelly, oh Amy, you guys are the best. I mean,

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 4>you know, I started this with you, and so I'm

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 4>actually really excited to talk to you because I've changed.

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 4>I know people are like I've changed, No, but I

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 4>genuinely and inherently feel a fundamental change, not only in

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 4>the way that I see myself, the way that I

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 4>talk about myself, but the way that I uh handle

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 4>myself with other people, and how I and the expectations

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 4>I have for myself and the expectations I have for

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 4>other people.

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 3>What prompted the change, Kelly, Uh.

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 5>It was a very cathartic moment. We've seen some very

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 5>strange things. We've seen some like Alison wonderfully, I'm like.

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Ah, I cannot say that, No, but you've been really open,

0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>You've been really open about your love journey, and we

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.399
<v Speaker 1>actually are coming to you for this podcast because we

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:57.800
<v Speaker 1>want an update. You actually had a first date in

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 1>real life. You were set up by one of our

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 1>producers here on I do Part two, and we cannot

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>wait to hear the details because this was weeks in

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>the making. Correct.

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.920
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I mean we've had a lot of fun. You know,

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.800
<v Speaker 4>Jenna Kramer and I have had so much fun. She

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:20.920
<v Speaker 4>I like literally was dming movie stars with her and

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 4>new friends that we've been Cheryl Brooke has been a

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 4>really good, good new friend of mine.

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 5>I've made some other new friends on the podcast.

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 4>We've been doing all these fun and wild like antics

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 4>to meet new guys. But actually, my executive producer, she's like,

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 4>I have this great guy for you, and there's a

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 4>reason I want you to meet him, and you're gonna

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 4>tell me.

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 5>Why after you met him.

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 4>So we start talking and texting first, and then I'm

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 4>chatting on the phone for the past like two weeks.

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm stellar human, highly educated, beautiful family, respectful to his

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 4>ex wife, really good genuine father. You guys are you

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 4>guys are great parents. You can really appreciate that. Just

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 4>a very stellar human and you know, it's interesting because

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 4>she's like, how was the date? And I was, you know,

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 4>saying we were kind of I'm gonna talk about that.

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.600
<v Speaker 4>But before we even talk about the date, the thing

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 4>that for me is just so wildly important is that I,

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 4>Kelly Calaurin Ben Simone, can finally date.

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:30.160
<v Speaker 5>A stellar human.

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 4>I have confidence to actually date someone who I respect,

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 4>and I think that is.

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:43.599
<v Speaker 5>Something that is so new for me.

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 4>And I'm just you know, very very happy that I

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:49.359
<v Speaker 4>got to meet mister Tennis.

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 3>You know it also Kelly called me crazy. This doesn't

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 3>sound like a transition. What you're explaining here is something

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 3>that would happen overnight. How long have you been going

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 3>through this thing? I mean, has your and tired, tired

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 3>dating life been that other Kelly who was maybe dating

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 3>someone that you shouldn't have been dating and now here

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 3>you are? But how that has to be a year's

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 3>long process to get to this point.

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:20.159
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean it's been really full on since I

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.159
<v Speaker 4>met you guys last fall.

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 3>No, seriously, so you prompted it, you are, you know,

0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 3>this is why we're here. We're here to do good work.

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 4>Seriously, and you know, it was really interesting because, like

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.120
<v Speaker 4>you know, talked about how you know you met me

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.040
<v Speaker 4>and you know you you know you watch my shows

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 4>and then you then you met me in real life,

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 4>and you know when I sat down with you, with

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.240
<v Speaker 4>you guys for the first and I've been interviewed by

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people, and I just felt immediately very

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 4>drawn to you guys, and I my my executive producer.

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 4>She was like, when you first did that interview with them,

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 4>She's like, I could tell you really want wanted to

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:06.600
<v Speaker 4>tell you know the two of you more. But I

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 4>was just so like wound up and so guarded that

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.560
<v Speaker 4>I was afraid. I mean I was even like I

0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 4>wasn't even looking up the entire the entire podcast.

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:17.840
<v Speaker 5>I'm looking down like that.

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, you know what. You know what it is, though, Kelly.

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I think when you've lived a lot of your life,

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 1>or at least the life that people know of you

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.360
<v Speaker 1>in front of a camera and you know you're viewed

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 1>through that lens only you know people are looking at

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>perhaps maybe your weakest or your least proud of moments

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and defining you by that, you start defining yourself by that.

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.279
<v Speaker 1>You don't feel like you're worthy, you don't feel you

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 1>can look up because people have seen you not just

0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.279
<v Speaker 1>at your best shining amazing self, but maybe at your

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 1>at your not your worst moment, but at your less

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>than best moments. And that's tough to know that they

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.920
<v Speaker 1>live on and people can watch them and then form

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 1>opinions of you before they even meet you. That's that's

0:06:58.440 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 1>not a fun space to be in.

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 5>Right, And I appreciate that.

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 4>I think you never hear the good because you're not

0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 4>really focusing on the good.

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.039
<v Speaker 5>All you do is hear that. You know, people are like,

0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 5>oh my god, you're awful, You're this, you're that.

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 4>And so I was just wildly insecure for so long

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 4>for obvious reasons.

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 5>When you spend a lot of time.

0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 4>By yourself, it's not like you're like, great work, You're awesome,

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 4>good job, you know, it's like you're just like, you know,

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 4>a one man band. And you know, my ex husband

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 4>was significantly older, and we weren't, you know, we didn't

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 4>have that kind of virgin River love where you know,

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 4>you see people and they're.

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 5>Like, how is your day? I just really care about

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 5>how you feel. My exis was French. He never he

0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 5>didn't even know what was he gonna say? Oh, your feelings,

0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 5>how are your feelings? We never asked that.

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I love that you made a Virgin River reference. I'm

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 1>obsessed with that. Also, just such a false narrative of

0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 1>what life is or love is. But anyway, still get

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 1>sucked into the narrative of it all. That's hilarious.

0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.120
<v Speaker 4>So anyway, my point is, and then from that on,

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 4>from that and you know, moving on to different dating

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.440
<v Speaker 4>different people, like you know, being a television and dating

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 4>people that were not the right people for me. But

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 4>you know how in the housewives world, you know, you

0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 4>guys are in the news. We're in the funny business.

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:17.800
<v Speaker 4>So it's like, you know, people treat you because they

0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 4>respect you, and they they can't wait to hear what's

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 4>coming out of your mouth. For us, it's like it's

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 4>a show, what's happening, you know whatever.

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 1>We became both Kelly just so you know, true.

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 4>And yet I thought it true true, But I mean

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 4>just for the birth, like you know, the ninety percent

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 4>is like the good news, and so I guess just

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.760
<v Speaker 4>from being a part of that narrative, which was very

0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:48.080
<v Speaker 4>difficult for me to navigate and also be raising two

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 4>kids alone, I became I was around people that were

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 4>like if they liked me.

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 5>I was like, oh, they like me, of course, you know.

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't like, I'm going to wait, I'm going to

0:08:57.800 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 4>kind of figure out what, you know, what are the

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 4>things that I I am looking for in my life?

0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 4>And so I kind of gravitated towards those love bombers,

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.719
<v Speaker 4>you know, the super fast we're going to get married tomorrow,

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.760
<v Speaker 4>all of that kind of nonsense. And you know, now

0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 4>we know of them as red flags, but like I

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 4>am focused on the green flags. I am focused on

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 4>all of the good news, the slow and steady wins,

0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 4>the race, the stellar humans, the the.

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.640

0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:02.480
<v Speaker 1>How did that all go down?

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.680

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:10.440
<v Speaker 4>go to go to dinner, and the doorman just let

0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.800
<v Speaker 4>him into the hall, which they never do, and they

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:15.679
<v Speaker 4>let him come down the hallway. I think that they

0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.520
<v Speaker 4>were thinking he was somebody else. I don't think that

0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.200
<v Speaker 4>they were thinking that he was like a date. They

0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:21.840

<v Speaker 3>Some security concerns.

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.959
<v Speaker 1>He looks so, you know, impressive that people just assumed

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 1>that he belonged there.

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.680

0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:30.640

<v Speaker 3>when he came to the door, did you invite him

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.400
<v Speaker 3>in or he had to stand outside the in the hall?

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, my oldest, my youngest daughter was in the apartment,

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:45.720
<v Speaker 4>so I was like.

0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:50.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh, my goodness, I wish I had I could have

0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 3>seen this scene. But you're at the dinner. What what

0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.480
<v Speaker 3>if you didn't interview him kind of what was the

0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 3>back and forth, the conversation, a lot of laughter, where

0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.000
<v Speaker 3>the drink's flowing. It was an eye of how that went.

0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.360
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, so we went to the corner bar. We're

0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.920
<v Speaker 4>at the bar. This was one thing that he did

0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.560
<v Speaker 4>and I thought was very sweet. They the bar at

0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.840
<v Speaker 4>the corner bar is like this highly coveted bar, and

0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.720
<v Speaker 4>they were going to give us two seats as you

0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 4>walk in, and it was a very it's very, very

0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 4>very cold in New York, and so he was like, oh, no, no, no,

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:22.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't like those seats.

0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 5>I want seats that are over there.

0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:26.000
<v Speaker 4>And so I just thought that was like he was

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 4>making an effort to create an environment that was, you know,

0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:34.040
<v Speaker 4>calm for him, but also like I wasn't sitting in

0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:36.160
<v Speaker 4>the cold, which I thought that was really sweet, because

0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:37.880

0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:39.440

0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:30.240
<v Speaker 4>guys would do he did not do.

0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:33.639
<v Speaker 5>He was very easy going. And just the conversation that

0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:34.320
<v Speaker 5>he was having.

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:36.600
<v Speaker 4>He's like, he's like, well, when I when I'm dropping

0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.280
<v Speaker 4>my daughter off, but you know, lessons you know I

<v Speaker 4>can talk to you about like oh my god, you know,

0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.240
<v Speaker 4>the traffic was crazy and you know she was upset

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.720
<v Speaker 4>and she was doing this and this was happening, and.

0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:50.480

<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, call me back in thirty two seconds

0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:54.760
<v Speaker 4>I was like, oh, you know, call me back when

0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:56.719
<v Speaker 4>you're done. And you know, sometimes if I say I'm

0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 4>going to call you back, it could be five minutes,

0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:02.480
<v Speaker 4>it could be four hours. And he was just is

0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.400
<v Speaker 4>very cool about that, and he was very he liked

0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:07.520
<v Speaker 4>that I was easy going about that as well. He

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:09.920
<v Speaker 4>said that he said that being a single dad is

0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 4>difficult because a lot of women take that, you know,

0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:20.080
<v Speaker 4>time away as being you know, like inconsiderate towards them.

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:23.639
<v Speaker 4>And I just think, like, people are busy, and I

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:25.639
<v Speaker 4>know he'll be like, hey, I'll text you or.

0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:29.640
<v Speaker 5>So there was that, there was that, there was there

0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:30.920
<v Speaker 5>was that kind of bond.

0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:33.639
<v Speaker 4>That we like had as well about just being easy

0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:34.760
<v Speaker 4>going with each other and.

<v Speaker 5>So demanding.

0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:39.159
<v Speaker 1>All right, so when you said goodbye for the evening,

0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:41.159
<v Speaker 1>if you said goodbye for the evening, I don't want

0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:45.960

<v Speaker 4>told him when he came, because he's a tennis player,

0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:44.080
<v Speaker 4>I said, you should definitely play tennis at Vanderbilt. You

0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:46.840
<v Speaker 4>have to play tennis there. It's the coolest, coolest court.

0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:49.320
<v Speaker 4>So he got tent He was like, I need to

0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:51.320

0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:05.800
<v Speaker 5>He taught me how to throw football.

0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:09.280
<v Speaker 4>We were like, you know, shooting basketball. It was really

0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:11.800
<v Speaker 4>like fun. I felt like I was on the Bachelor.

0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:12.920

0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 3>our first meeting in that first episode we taped, we agree.

0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:27.360
<v Speaker 3>But you are on fire right now looking at you,

0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:29.280
<v Speaker 3>and the folks can hear it in your voice. I'm sure,

0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:33.320
<v Speaker 3>but you are excited as well. You should look at her.

0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:40.199
<v Speaker 3>She looks smitten. That's the word. You look smitten. And

0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:43.040
<v Speaker 3>you should stay there until further notice.

0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:46.640
<v Speaker 1>That's nice because it could have been awkward. It could

0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:49.240
<v Speaker 1>have gone sideways. You could have realized there was no chemistry.

0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:52.440
<v Speaker 1>So this is like, it sounds like best case scenario.

0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:55.440

0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:20.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm not that kind of I'm just not like that.

0:25:20.320 --> 0:25:21.880
<v Speaker 5>I just i mean, even.

0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:25.480
<v Speaker 4>If I'm like super super super, you know, this guy's

0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:28.560
<v Speaker 4>a really you know spect I said, he's a stellar human.

0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:30.919
<v Speaker 4>So it's like I'm not going to screw it up

0:25:30.960 --> 0:25:32.520
<v Speaker 4>by being like, oh my god, let me go hang

0:25:32.560 --> 0:25:35.320
<v Speaker 4>out in here, you know, kiss you and be like weird,

0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:37.840
<v Speaker 4>and then like have it be weird and like I'm

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:41.440
<v Speaker 4>taking my time, like's god, I love that on my timeline.

0:25:41.560 --> 0:25:42.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm not on anyone else.

0:25:42.760 --> 0:25:44.639
<v Speaker 1>Are there plans for a second date? Are you going

0:25:44.680 --> 0:25:47.080
<v Speaker 1>to come out to California? What? How did you guys

0:25:47.160 --> 0:25:47.560
<v Speaker 1>leave it?

0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:49.399
<v Speaker 5>I mean, yeah, that would be great.

0:25:50.000 --> 0:25:52.160
<v Speaker 4>I would love to come out to California and say

0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:54.359
<v Speaker 4>hi to him and see how he is and see

0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:56.439
<v Speaker 4>his real life. And it's interesting because my friends were

0:25:56.480 --> 0:25:58.720
<v Speaker 4>because they were they were like, have you ever done,

0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:01.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, had a long distance relationship? And I've never

0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:04.200
<v Speaker 4>dated anyone long distance and never dated anyone that wasn't

0:26:04.240 --> 0:26:06.359
<v Speaker 4>that was so far that was far away period or

0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:08.200
<v Speaker 4>like out of the same city.

0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:10.440
<v Speaker 5>And so.

0:26:11.840 --> 0:26:15.639
<v Speaker 4>It was just interesting to hear him, to hear him

0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 4>kind of like try to figure out like how we

0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:21.639
<v Speaker 4>were going to date, how we were going to meet up,

0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:23.439
<v Speaker 4>where we're going to meet up. And then all the

0:26:23.480 --> 0:26:25.440
<v Speaker 4>advice for my friends are like, well, you guys could

0:26:25.480 --> 0:26:27.920
<v Speaker 4>meet you know, in Chicago, and I'm like, I don't

0:26:27.920 --> 0:26:30.800
<v Speaker 4>want to be in a relationship where we're constantly on vacation,

0:26:31.640 --> 0:26:33.240
<v Speaker 4>like I want to be in real life. I want

0:26:33.280 --> 0:26:35.760
<v Speaker 4>to see like I want to walk around like Century

0:26:35.760 --> 0:26:38.360
<v Speaker 4>City and like I want to I don't.

0:26:38.200 --> 0:26:40.399
<v Speaker 3>Know, and it's winter. We don't want to meet anybody

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:43.399
<v Speaker 3>in Chicago right now. It's no good, Kelly.

0:26:43.960 --> 0:26:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking more like Miami, New Orleans.

0:26:47.240 --> 0:26:49.639
<v Speaker 3>Kelly is you can't let me.

0:26:49.960 --> 0:26:50.199
<v Speaker 4>I know.

0:26:50.320 --> 0:26:53.879
<v Speaker 3>He just just left, so you just saw him, but

0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:56.600
<v Speaker 3>there's not a plan yet. Do you'll have a tentative plan,

0:26:56.720 --> 0:26:58.320
<v Speaker 3>like for sure the next time you see each other

0:26:58.359 --> 0:26:59.120
<v Speaker 3>will be you.

0:26:59.040 --> 0:27:01.480
<v Speaker 5>In La right, That's what he said.

0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:03.960
<v Speaker 4>He wants to do that, and you know I and

0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 4>he was like I want to you know, He's like

0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:07.480
<v Speaker 4>I want to do things that we can like have

0:27:07.640 --> 0:27:09.200
<v Speaker 4>things to talk about. So I was like, let's read

0:27:09.240 --> 0:27:11.399
<v Speaker 4>the same book and we can chat about it and

0:27:11.560 --> 0:27:15.000
<v Speaker 4>just try to like have like just a different narrative

0:27:15.119 --> 0:27:16.440
<v Speaker 4>versus like, how is your day?

0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:18.080
<v Speaker 5>I have no idea what you're talking about? Oh, how

0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:18.520
<v Speaker 5>is your day?

0:27:18.560 --> 0:27:20.720
<v Speaker 4>I have no idea talking about? Like I just wanted

0:27:20.800 --> 0:27:23.720
<v Speaker 4>to have like some kind of conversations that were like

0:27:23.880 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 4>about things that we're doing versus what everyone else is doing.

0:27:27.320 --> 0:27:30.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Kelly says, have you seen that last episode of

0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:32.159
<v Speaker 3>Virgin River? He says, no, I haven't.

0:27:32.280 --> 0:27:34.159
<v Speaker 1>He should want, Kelly, you and I could do a

0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Virgin River club. I would love to dissect that. It's

0:27:39.160 --> 0:27:42.240
<v Speaker 1>funny though it's such a girl I'm sure guys out

0:27:42.240 --> 0:27:44.080
<v Speaker 1>there like it too, but it's such a girl thing.

0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:54.200
<v Speaker 6>It's very funny.

0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:57.639
<v Speaker 1>I have here. Do you already have pet names for

0:27:57.720 --> 0:27:58.200
<v Speaker 1>one another?

0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:01.680
<v Speaker 5>I told I told him that he was Trouble.

0:28:02.720 --> 0:28:04.399
<v Speaker 1>Wow, his name's Trouble.

0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:05.680
<v Speaker 3>That's not a good name.

0:28:05.720 --> 0:28:09.920
<v Speaker 5>And he called me Malibu.

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Malibu is cute. I like that.

0:28:12.080 --> 0:28:12.879
<v Speaker 3>Why Trouble like.

0:28:13.040 --> 0:28:16.520
<v Speaker 5>Malibu Barbie, even though I'm Burnette. Okay, you're more Malabo

0:28:16.640 --> 0:28:17.040
<v Speaker 5>than I have.

0:28:17.800 --> 0:28:21.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm Robes. TJ gave me a pet name or a nickname,

0:28:21.640 --> 0:28:25.440
<v Speaker 1>like it's Robes. My name is Amy Roboch. But he's

0:28:25.480 --> 0:28:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the only one who called me Robes. He called me

0:28:27.119 --> 0:28:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Robes on the air when we were at ABC News together.

0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:32.919
<v Speaker 1>He just he never called me by my first name ever.

0:28:33.320 --> 0:28:34.119
<v Speaker 1>I cannot remember.

0:28:34.320 --> 0:28:36.639
<v Speaker 3>I never saw you as a Barbie. She's she's tall,

0:28:38.160 --> 0:28:38.560
<v Speaker 3>that's right.

0:28:38.600 --> 0:28:43.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm only five to five, Kelly.

0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:46.840
<v Speaker 3>What do we Oh my goodness, this sounds so exciting

0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:49.360
<v Speaker 3>about the guy if you were giving you came on,

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:51.400
<v Speaker 3>You've been a celebrity mentor to a lot of people

0:28:51.520 --> 0:28:54.240
<v Speaker 3>that that we've had on and who are trying to

0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:59.880
<v Speaker 3>find love. What have you now learned through your ex

0:29:00.000 --> 0:29:02.520
<v Speaker 3>experience that you're really ready to pass on because you

0:29:02.520 --> 0:29:07.800
<v Speaker 3>were giving advice earlier on before you kind of came around,

0:29:07.840 --> 0:29:11.800
<v Speaker 3>before you became the whole, new, full, new Kelly. So

0:29:11.920 --> 0:29:16.320
<v Speaker 3>what advice now are you able to give given the

0:29:16.400 --> 0:29:18.960
<v Speaker 3>new Kelly and the new experience that you're going through.

0:29:19.920 --> 0:29:22.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's just it's interesting because I've been doing so

0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:28.960
<v Speaker 4>much talking about relationships and so with him, I talked

0:29:28.960 --> 0:29:33.320
<v Speaker 4>a lot about relationships, and he really liked that. He

0:29:33.560 --> 0:29:37.840
<v Speaker 4>liked hearing He likes talking about his relationships. I think

0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:40.920
<v Speaker 4>that he appreciated that I was open to hearing about

0:29:40.960 --> 0:29:44.160
<v Speaker 4>whatever he wanted to share with what he was doing

0:29:44.200 --> 0:29:46.080
<v Speaker 4>and what he was going on with him. Like, I

0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:48.880
<v Speaker 4>think that that is something that's new to me. I mean,

0:29:49.240 --> 0:29:51.320
<v Speaker 4>I'm not I've never been the person that's like, tell

0:29:51.360 --> 0:29:53.440
<v Speaker 4>him about your ex, can't wait to hear all about her.

0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:56.040
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, I don't care. Like I literally was like

0:29:56.080 --> 0:29:56.960
<v Speaker 5>I did not care.

0:29:58.840 --> 0:30:01.960
<v Speaker 4>And I just been a dated you know, men who

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:04.920
<v Speaker 4>have had such wild exes that like, I really have

0:30:05.120 --> 0:30:09.959
<v Speaker 4>zero interest in hearing about people's exes.

0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:12.160
<v Speaker 5>But I I asked him.

0:30:12.000 --> 0:30:13.320
<v Speaker 4>Because I just was like, you know what, I'm not

0:30:13.360 --> 0:30:14.680
<v Speaker 4>going to be that person. I'm not going to be

0:30:14.720 --> 0:30:17.480
<v Speaker 4>closed off. I'm not going to be judgmental. You know,

0:30:17.560 --> 0:30:22.840
<v Speaker 4>everybody has everybody has people in their in their orbit.

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:26.120
<v Speaker 4>And I also, just like I said at the beginning,

0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:28.360
<v Speaker 4>you know, the top of this just about how like

0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:31.720
<v Speaker 4>I just have more self respect, and so it's easy

0:30:31.840 --> 0:30:33.760
<v Speaker 4>to say to somebody, oh, you have an ex, I'm

0:30:33.760 --> 0:30:37.120
<v Speaker 4>sure she's so stupid and ugly. Like I used to say, like,

0:30:37.160 --> 0:30:40.320
<v Speaker 4>oh my god, your ex wife, she's so skinny, she

0:30:40.360 --> 0:30:43.200
<v Speaker 4>hasn't eaten since the ice age. I think those are

0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:44.959
<v Speaker 4>the things that I used to say, which are awful,

0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:47.320
<v Speaker 4>and I don't want to say those anymore.

0:30:47.520 --> 0:30:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I love that.

0:30:48.360 --> 0:30:49.800
<v Speaker 5>I just don't want to have that narrative.

0:30:49.880 --> 0:30:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's about you. It's not about their past. It's

0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:54.800
<v Speaker 1>not about comparing. It's not about the comparison or the

0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:57.840
<v Speaker 1>contrast of what he had versus where he is now

0:30:57.880 --> 0:31:01.240
<v Speaker 1>and all of that, and that's incredible growth I'm curious.

0:31:01.920 --> 0:31:02.760
<v Speaker 5>I was interesting.

0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:04.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm not going to interrupt you, and I apologize to you,

0:31:04.680 --> 0:31:08.520
<v Speaker 4>but it's interesting that because I didn't come to when

0:31:08.560 --> 0:31:11.040
<v Speaker 4>we were talking about his exes or what he was

0:31:11.080 --> 0:31:13.640
<v Speaker 4>doing with his life, because I didn't come with like

0:31:15.040 --> 0:31:20.200
<v Speaker 4>defensiveness or negativity. There was just like a conversation, Yeah,

0:31:20.840 --> 0:31:24.480
<v Speaker 4>like you and I having a conversation versus like, you know,

0:31:24.840 --> 0:31:27.400
<v Speaker 4>me being like competing with someone I don't even know.

0:31:27.720 --> 0:31:30.000
<v Speaker 5>Does that make sense? Yeah, I feel like that's what happens.

0:31:30.160 --> 0:31:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Or feeling threatened by someone who seems like they have

0:31:32.880 --> 0:31:35.360
<v Speaker 1>it all together. Stranger right, A stranger.

0:31:35.640 --> 0:31:37.640
<v Speaker 5>Right correct, and we don't know anything.

0:31:37.840 --> 0:31:40.880
<v Speaker 4>Like they have their relationship, but their relationship is their relationship,

0:31:41.240 --> 0:31:43.840
<v Speaker 4>and my relationship with him is my relationship, and I

0:31:43.920 --> 0:31:45.320
<v Speaker 4>just want to keep that.

0:31:47.600 --> 0:31:48.800
<v Speaker 5>However, you know how it is.

0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:50.720
<v Speaker 1>I have a question for you, Kelly, for people who

0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:52.560
<v Speaker 1>are listening, for folks who are listening and they are

0:31:52.680 --> 0:31:55.480
<v Speaker 1>just starting off, maybe they're they're in your boat, they're

0:31:55.880 --> 0:31:58.600
<v Speaker 1>they've just started to date someone new and they really

0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:01.920
<v Speaker 1>like them. How often do you text them? How often

0:32:01.920 --> 0:32:04.680
<v Speaker 1>do you call them? How often do you like do

0:32:04.720 --> 0:32:07.160
<v Speaker 1>you wait before you return the text? Are you still

0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:10.680
<v Speaker 1>playing little games or are you just being vulnerable and

0:32:10.880 --> 0:32:14.400
<v Speaker 1>open and sharing your feelings or are you withhold Like

0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:16.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm just curious. So that's always the dance. People don't

0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:19.520
<v Speaker 1>know what to do and what the right thing is

0:32:19.560 --> 0:32:21.120
<v Speaker 1>and what what would be a turn off, what would

0:32:21.120 --> 0:32:22.520
<v Speaker 1>be a turn on? Are is that all in your

0:32:22.520 --> 0:32:24.800
<v Speaker 1>head or are you just going with your well?

0:32:24.920 --> 0:32:26.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean, of course it is like, like, you know,

0:32:27.080 --> 0:32:29.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm a single female. I've been single, you know, for

0:32:29.480 --> 0:32:35.160
<v Speaker 4>fifteen years, so I and you know, it's interesting because

0:32:35.160 --> 0:32:36.520
<v Speaker 4>most people are like, oh my god, you've been single

0:32:36.560 --> 0:32:37.840
<v Speaker 4>so long, You're just a player.

0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:40.080
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, no, no, no, no, not a player. That's one

0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:40.640
<v Speaker 5>thing I'm not.

0:32:42.160 --> 0:32:45.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm just very like whatever I feel like if I

0:32:45.160 --> 0:32:48.520
<v Speaker 4>feel like calling you, I feel like texting you. I

0:32:48.560 --> 0:32:50.400
<v Speaker 4>mean I was like thinking I was just because it

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:51.640
<v Speaker 4>was so nice. I wanted to write him like a

0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:54.000
<v Speaker 4>little thank you note, just thanking him for you know,

0:32:54.080 --> 0:32:59.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm just a very open and like, I'm very like loving,

0:33:01.320 --> 0:33:04.000
<v Speaker 4>but that does not mean that I'm in love, do

0:33:04.000 --> 0:33:05.360
<v Speaker 4>you know what I mean? Like I'm just a jet

0:33:05.360 --> 0:33:09.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm just a very love loving person. So I just,

0:33:10.000 --> 0:33:12.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, I text him things but I'm also, you know,

0:33:14.120 --> 0:33:16.640
<v Speaker 4>dating other people, so it's not like he's the only

0:33:16.680 --> 0:33:20.440
<v Speaker 4>person that I'm dating, and I just want to be

0:33:20.680 --> 0:33:25.920
<v Speaker 4>open to myself and to my new journey.

0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:28.320
<v Speaker 3>Why he's not the only one you're dating? But why

0:33:28.360 --> 0:33:30.560
<v Speaker 3>is he the only one we're talking about? Kelly?

0:33:30.920 --> 0:33:32.560
<v Speaker 4>You know why you know what we're talking about him

0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:37.840
<v Speaker 4>because my executive producer set me up with her best

0:33:37.880 --> 0:33:38.600
<v Speaker 4>friend's brother.

0:33:38.840 --> 0:33:41.320
<v Speaker 3>Okay, but is this guy? Is he the Is he

0:33:41.400 --> 0:33:43.680
<v Speaker 3>a front runner? Though? Kelly? Is he a front runner

0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:44.160
<v Speaker 3>and all the guy?

0:33:44.280 --> 0:33:46.920
<v Speaker 4>That's my point, that's my point, Like he is someone

0:33:46.960 --> 0:33:51.080
<v Speaker 4>that I'm being introduced to by someone that I respect,

0:33:51.520 --> 0:33:56.440
<v Speaker 4>and so I am definitely giving this person, you know,

0:33:57.240 --> 0:34:00.880
<v Speaker 4>like open eyes, like you know, let's see what happens.

0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:03.680
<v Speaker 5>You know, It's not like I don't feel need to be.

0:34:03.640 --> 0:34:08.120
<v Speaker 4>Guarded because I am interested in him and I and

0:34:08.280 --> 0:34:12.760
<v Speaker 4>he's already been vetted, so there's a trust. Whereas everybody

0:34:12.760 --> 0:34:16.160
<v Speaker 4>else at I'm meeting, I don't necessarily know them or

0:34:16.200 --> 0:34:18.080
<v Speaker 4>I know them kind of through someone.

0:34:19.440 --> 0:34:19.640
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:34:19.680 --> 0:34:22.000
<v Speaker 4>The last guy that I was dating was younger, and

0:34:22.040 --> 0:34:24.360
<v Speaker 4>he was very sweet, but he was like love bombing

0:34:24.400 --> 0:34:26.680
<v Speaker 4>me and saying like after like the first date, he

0:34:26.760 --> 0:34:27.800
<v Speaker 4>was like, we're getting married.

0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:31.120
<v Speaker 5>You're my person, which was very.

0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:35.920
<v Speaker 4>Kind and I appreciate that. But you know, his actions,

0:34:36.280 --> 0:34:39.040
<v Speaker 4>you know, actions speak louder than words, and so you

0:34:39.080 --> 0:34:40.920
<v Speaker 4>can just say how much you love me, but if

0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:43.320
<v Speaker 4>you're not like making plans, making you know, trying to

0:34:43.320 --> 0:34:48.120
<v Speaker 4>make situations, doing stuff that does not that does not

0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:49.600
<v Speaker 4>make me feel like you're in love with me and

0:34:49.600 --> 0:34:51.880
<v Speaker 4>you want to get married to me. So I'm like

0:34:52.200 --> 0:34:54.920
<v Speaker 4>learning my lessons slowly, but surely I'm going to make

0:34:54.960 --> 0:34:56.759
<v Speaker 4>a lot of mistakes. You guys, I'm going to fall

0:34:56.840 --> 0:34:58.759
<v Speaker 4>through a lot of holes, so you might have to

0:34:58.760 --> 0:34:59.439
<v Speaker 4>pull me out.

0:35:00.239 --> 0:35:03.160
<v Speaker 3>Sounds like you're doing great. I sounds like you're doing great, Kelly.

0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:05.759
<v Speaker 3>My only my last thing is how does he feel

0:35:05.760 --> 0:35:10.920
<v Speaker 3>about dating you? With you telling your entire dating story

0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:12.640
<v Speaker 3>essentially to the public.

0:35:13.600 --> 0:35:15.560
<v Speaker 5>So I asked him that, I said, what is it?

0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:17.719
<v Speaker 4>How do you feel about He was like that, He

0:35:17.800 --> 0:35:18.480
<v Speaker 4>was like, that's.

0:35:18.280 --> 0:35:19.240
<v Speaker 5>I think that's amazing.

0:35:20.120 --> 0:35:20.640
<v Speaker 1>That's great.

0:35:21.360 --> 0:35:23.520
<v Speaker 4>And he there's a lot of confidence too, And that's

0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:25.840
<v Speaker 4>another thing, Like he has a lot of confidence.

0:35:26.280 --> 0:35:29.960
<v Speaker 5>You know, he's not intimidated by what I'm doing. He

0:35:30.080 --> 0:35:33.640
<v Speaker 5>just is happy for me. And excited for me to you.

0:35:33.560 --> 0:35:35.080
<v Speaker 4>Know, he just said to he said to me, it's like,

0:35:35.120 --> 0:35:37.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm just so happy to have met you, which is

0:35:37.400 --> 0:35:37.960
<v Speaker 4>so nice.

0:35:38.840 --> 0:35:41.640
<v Speaker 1>That's a very sweet thing to say. And it sounds

0:35:41.640 --> 0:35:43.840
<v Speaker 1>like he followed up with actions exactly.

0:35:43.880 --> 0:35:47.000
<v Speaker 4>And actions speak louder than words. So to answer Amy,

0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:50.400
<v Speaker 4>what you're what your your question? Actions speak louder than words.

0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:53.120
<v Speaker 4>And I feel like if you like someone, you know,

0:35:53.360 --> 0:35:55.359
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I wouldn't be sending like heart emojis every

0:35:55.360 --> 0:35:59.759
<v Speaker 4>two seconds, but you know, thinking of you or you know,

0:36:00.280 --> 0:36:03.400

<v Speaker 4>to be like, like be open to like everything.

0:36:32.200 --> 0:36:33.840
<v Speaker 3>Kelly. I suspect that when you were a kid in

0:36:33.840 --> 0:36:36.520
<v Speaker 3>school you didn't do that either. You weren't writing little notes,

0:36:36.600 --> 0:36:38.879
<v Speaker 3>Kelly love it just studn't.

0:36:38.520 --> 0:36:40.200
<v Speaker 1>See she watches Virgin Rivers.

0:36:41.480 --> 0:36:43.840
<v Speaker 5>That's my bad die Hard romance.

0:36:44.000 --> 0:36:47.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we love love. I well, when you told me

0:36:47.840 --> 0:36:53.920
<v Speaker 1>you watch Virgin River, I know, well, Kelly, we are

0:36:54.000 --> 0:36:56.839
<v Speaker 1>so happy for you, and I know everyone listening is

0:36:57.440 --> 0:37:00.680
<v Speaker 1>excited too, because it's one of those when you hear

0:37:00.760 --> 0:37:03.680
<v Speaker 1>something good happen for someone else, someone who's been searching,

0:37:03.680 --> 0:37:07.760
<v Speaker 1>someone who's been single deliberately for fifteen years, finding something

0:37:07.800 --> 0:37:10.240
<v Speaker 1>that could lead to something, that there's that little spark,

0:37:10.280 --> 0:37:13.680
<v Speaker 1>that little excite. It's it's hope for everyone else too.

0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:15.520
<v Speaker 1>That yes, it's never too late.

0:37:16.120 --> 0:37:18.080
<v Speaker 4>It's and I totally agree with that, Amy, and I

0:37:18.120 --> 0:37:21.080
<v Speaker 4>appreciate that. And it's also like you know, I always

0:37:21.120 --> 0:37:23.399
<v Speaker 4>talk about like there's like two kinds of energy. There's

0:37:23.480 --> 0:37:26.640
<v Speaker 4>kinetic and there's frenetic. And when like something good happens,

0:37:26.920 --> 0:37:28.560
<v Speaker 4>more good things aren't going to happen.

0:37:29.120 --> 0:37:32.600
<v Speaker 5>And so whether it's mister Tennis.

0:37:32.280 --> 0:37:36.520
<v Speaker 4>Or mister soccer or whomever, I just feel like he

0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:40.759
<v Speaker 4>is such a He's really he's such a I will

0:37:40.960 --> 0:37:42.960
<v Speaker 4>I will if whether we end up together or we

0:37:42.960 --> 0:37:46.840
<v Speaker 4>don't end up together. I'm just very grateful for what

0:37:47.080 --> 0:37:50.040
<v Speaker 4>happened over the weekend because it's really been good for

0:37:50.200 --> 0:37:53.799
<v Speaker 4>me and just so healthy and I've never felt like

0:37:54.000 --> 0:37:57.440
