I'm going to have my happy 0:02:01.620 --> 0:02:06.200 once again. So I have so many questions. First of all, 0:02:06.530 --> 0:02:09.609 I need all the details. How did you meet? How 0:02:09.669 --> 0:02:10.690 long has it been? 0:02:10.710 --> 0:02:14.049 Okay, so I could start with that. 0:02:14.070 --> 0:02:17.209 So when the show was going on, so this is 0:02:17.210 --> 0:02:19.870 2024 in the fall, I was invited to a bear game, 0:02:20.169 --> 0:02:22.350 and we got to go on the field, field passes, 0:02:22.510 --> 0:02:24.639 and As the show was still on, we were getting 0:02:24.660 --> 0:02:26.440 a little bit of attention. You know, people were like 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.920 waving to the crowd and we went and sat on 0:02:28.940 --> 0:02:30.940 the sideline or stood on the sideline. 0:02:31.060 --> 0:02:33.500 And there was kind of a. 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.690 Make a wish family there that was on the sideline 0:02:36.730 --> 0:02:40.570 and was getting some attention. And I kind of spoke 0:02:40.590 --> 0:02:42.390 with them a little bit and we were getting pictures 0:02:42.430 --> 0:02:43.150 with other people. 0:02:43.790 --> 0:02:47.830 And then she talked to Emily. Well, okay. 0:02:47.889 --> 0:02:50.120 I'll tell my, I'll tell my, you were on the 0:02:50.180 --> 0:02:52.120 sidelines too, Emily. 0:02:52.220 --> 0:02:56.100 So, um, I was kind of hosting, I was escorting this. 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.040 It was the champion of the game family. It's like 0:02:58.300 --> 0:03:03.380 kind of like a make a wish family. And the gal, 0:03:03.419 --> 0:03:05.620 her name is Heather. She was like, who is those 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.260 guys that people are taking pictures with? And I looked 0:03:08.300 --> 0:03:10.740 and I was like, Oh my gosh, I think those 0:03:10.780 --> 0:03:15.560 guys are on the golden bachelor, the golden bachelorette. And, um, 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:19.420 I honestly, I was like, I couldn't remember their names necessarily, 0:03:19.460 --> 0:03:22.960 but I had been watching. I was a few episodes behind. 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:24.980 So I'm like, I know those guys are on it. 0:03:25.540 --> 0:03:27.990 And so Heather was like, let's go, like, let's go 0:03:28.050 --> 0:03:30.310 over there and like take pictures with them. And I 0:03:30.330 --> 0:03:34.890 was like, okay. So we went over there and my 0:03:34.970 --> 0:03:38.410 parents were also watching the show. And so Heather was like, 0:03:38.790 --> 0:03:41.450 you should take a picture with them. Cause she was 0:03:41.510 --> 0:03:43.850 on this mission that she was going to like set 0:03:43.890 --> 0:03:55.280 me up with someone. And so she's like, take a 0:03:55.300 --> 0:03:56.900 picture with them. And so I'm like, can I take 0:03:56.940 --> 0:03:59.900 a picture with you guys? Which is so funny because 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:01.620 I like don't do that. 0:04:02.100 --> 0:04:04.040 Yeah. Well, it's crazy. Cause now that I know her, 0:04:04.060 --> 0:04:05.760 you know, she's been with the bears and I know 0:04:05.780 --> 0:04:07.520 the role. Like, she never takes. 0:04:07.540 --> 0:04:09.420 There's real people that she should take a picture with, 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:10.600 not me. 0:04:10.700 --> 0:04:12.760 So the fact that she took a picture with me was... 0:04:12.820 --> 0:04:14.240 It was meant to be. It was some sort of 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:14.640 meant to be. 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.120 Everything happened for a reason, right? 0:04:16.500 --> 0:04:16.920 Exactly. 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.500 Because then Heather... Well, you tell this part now. 0:04:19.990 --> 0:04:20.690 But that she. 0:04:21.310 --> 0:04:24.110 So Heather was like... Which part? She's single. 0:04:24.250 --> 0:04:24.510 Oh, yeah. 0:04:24.529 --> 0:04:26.150 She's like, she's single. 0:04:26.310 --> 0:04:27.770 I just said to Emily, I go, if you, you know, 0:04:28.510 --> 0:04:30.170 tag me in that post if you put something up 0:04:30.230 --> 0:04:31.029 or send me the picture. 0:04:31.570 --> 0:04:33.760 So that, you know, later that night, she sent me 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:34.280 the picture. 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:34.740 Yeah. 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:35.360 Right? And then. 0:04:35.830 --> 0:04:38.550 We had a little back and forth chat. And then 0:04:39.310 --> 0:04:42.049 a week later, there was another football game. The Bears 0:04:42.070 --> 0:04:44.909 had another home game. And Emily had a friend in town. 0:04:45.970 --> 0:04:48.410 And after the game, it just turns out, by coincidence, 0:04:48.450 --> 0:04:49.930 we live like a block away from each other. 0:04:50.290 --> 0:04:51.729 Yes. How convenient. 0:04:51.830 --> 0:04:54.600 It was a huge factor in actually getting together a lot. 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:56.860 So she's like, hey, my friend's in town. Why don't 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:58.580 you meet us for a drink after the game? 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:00.119 And I did. 0:05:00.779 --> 0:05:03.000 And as soon as we met like that, you know, 0:05:03.020 --> 0:05:05.400 kind of off the field, like in person, it was 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.140 Immediately we had a connection. 0:05:08.190 --> 0:05:10.760 We had some energy. We were laughing. And if you 0:05:10.790 --> 0:05:13.050 know me, you guys know me a little bit. I'm 0:05:13.070 --> 0:05:16.350 a bit of a goof. So it was just a fun, low-key, 0:05:16.430 --> 0:05:18.270 really first-time encounter. 0:05:18.970 --> 0:05:19.950 And then we hung out. 0:05:20.610 --> 0:05:22.930 Yeah, and then that week was crazy because then we 0:05:23.010 --> 0:05:24.910 hung out like four different times. 0:05:24.930 --> 0:05:26.089 Four out of five days. 0:05:26.130 --> 0:05:28.690 Because you couldn't help it. You just had to be 0:05:28.730 --> 0:05:31.770 near him, right? I know that feeling. 0:05:31.790 --> 0:05:34.190 Wait, so much for the three-day rule, I just want 0:05:34.230 --> 0:05:34.630 to say. 0:05:34.850 --> 0:05:35.789 Yeah, no three-day rule. 0:05:36.670 --> 0:05:39.510 So you, you kind of answered this question already. You 0:05:39.570 --> 0:05:41.370 did watch his season. 0:05:42.130 --> 0:05:44.870 Yeah. So I started, you know, I'm sure this happens 0:05:44.890 --> 0:05:46.770 to you as you start and then you get behind 0:05:46.810 --> 0:05:48.970 and you're like, I can't catch up now. I'm too 0:05:48.990 --> 0:05:52.510 far behind. So I was, I was behind a few episodes. 0:05:53.089 --> 0:05:56.280 I had known, I remember watching the show and I 0:05:56.339 --> 0:05:59.820 remember thinking, and I feel like other people have said 0:05:59.860 --> 0:06:02.800 this since we met too, I felt like, He doesn't 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.440 belong on the show. And how I felt, I remember 0:06:05.500 --> 0:06:10.950 thinking like, that's too young for the show. So I 0:06:10.990 --> 0:06:13.830 remember thinking, of course, that he was quite handsome from 0:06:13.890 --> 0:06:17.750 watching it. But then when we had our first date, 0:06:18.310 --> 0:06:21.630 I was like, okay, I better watch and see what happens. 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.620 So I fast forwarded and watched his like five minutes. 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:26.020 Just in case he was taken. 0:06:26.660 --> 0:06:27.020 Yeah. 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:27.860 Yeah. 0:06:28.350 --> 0:06:29.150 Oh, that's funny. 0:06:29.250 --> 0:06:30.520 That way I could at least say. 0:06:30.540 --> 0:06:32.760 We can, we can, we can, she can catch up 0:06:32.779 --> 0:06:34.779 then to what's actually happening in my, in my life 0:06:34.820 --> 0:06:38.100 and my daughter. Cause that first week actually was Thanksgiving. 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.640 And my daughter, my oldest daughter was in town and 0:06:40.670 --> 0:06:42.470 my youngest daughter, we all go out for like drinks 0:06:42.510 --> 0:06:45.790 around Thanksgiving. And I invited Emily to go. And it 0:06:46.290 --> 0:06:49.080 was a little crazy because like, who's bringing, you know, the, Yeah. 0:06:49.100 --> 0:06:51.760 First week. And she's like, you're writing all your dates, 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.300 meeting your kids in the first week? And I'm like, no, 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.060 it's just, you know, easy. It's loose. It's fun. It's not, 0:06:57.140 --> 0:06:58.740 you know, nothing too serious. 0:06:59.620 --> 0:07:01.020 No, he's good that way. 0:07:01.300 --> 0:07:01.800 But it's funny. 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.620 So a funny story on our actual first date, we 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:06.039 went to play ping pong. 0:07:06.260 --> 0:07:07.960 So Emily is a very confident girl. 0:07:09.380 --> 0:07:10.220 I'm competitive. 0:07:10.260 --> 0:07:11.420 Competitive, confident. 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.000 So she was talking, I don't know how it came up, 0:07:13.020 --> 0:07:15.100 but she was talking shit about... that she can beat 0:07:15.140 --> 0:07:17.580 me in pretty much anything. I'm like, well, let's go 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:18.200 play ping pong. 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.360 I'm like- I like your style, Emily. I like your style. 0:07:20.500 --> 0:07:22.340 I'll play you a ping pong, because ping pong's one 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.010 of my games. So we went on a ping pong date, 0:07:25.390 --> 0:07:28.510 and we got a table. I mean, needless to say that, 0:07:28.850 --> 0:07:30.070 you know, we were the champion there. 0:07:30.090 --> 0:07:31.830 He also didn't tell me that he was, like, an 0:07:32.110 --> 0:07:33.850 actual ping pong player. 0:07:33.930 --> 0:07:35.710 I'm not. I'm just a good ping pong player. 0:07:36.070 --> 0:07:38.420 She over-talked her game in ping pong. 0:07:41.930 --> 0:07:42.570 Wait, wait, wait. 0:07:42.710 --> 0:07:44.710 I want to know, did you smear her? Like, did 0:07:44.730 --> 0:07:46.770 you get a letter, get a one point at least? 0:07:46.890 --> 0:07:48.650 No, she can get a few points, but I wasn't 0:07:48.670 --> 0:07:51.430 going to play. Oh, oh, you're so good. Kind of routine. 0:07:51.450 --> 0:07:54.350 That's not my, not my game. What made it interesting 0:07:54.370 --> 0:07:56.869 was our first, it's our first official date. We're sitting 0:07:56.890 --> 0:07:59.150 at a table. Uh, you get a little table and 0:07:59.170 --> 0:08:01.230 you drink some food and then you play ping pong. 0:08:01.550 --> 0:08:04.530 And this couple next to us came over and made 0:08:04.570 --> 0:08:07.130 friends with us. Like, you know, what are you guys doing? Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, 0:08:07.620 --> 0:08:08.620 back and forth banter. 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:13.400 Uh, they leave and then, you know, the bill comes 0:08:13.420 --> 0:08:15.440 for us and I, you know, it's our first date. 0:08:15.460 --> 0:08:17.700 I'm trying to be cool. And I look at the bill. 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.960 I'm like, this doesn't seem right. This seems like a 0:08:19.980 --> 0:08:24.540 little high for our wages over. And I'm like, are 0:08:24.580 --> 0:08:26.220 you sure this is okay? Which is embarrassing to do 0:08:26.260 --> 0:08:28.880 on a first date. Like I'm already questioning the money. Yeah. 0:08:29.010 --> 0:08:31.510 And the table next to us put all their stuff, 0:08:31.570 --> 0:08:34.490 food and drinks on our bill and skedaddled. 0:08:34.890 --> 0:08:37.290 No, they didn't make you pay. Did they? 0:08:37.309 --> 0:08:37.369 No. 0:08:38.630 --> 0:08:40.050 But it was a little bit of a, you know, 0:08:40.070 --> 0:08:42.589 they came over and, I don't know, they eventually didn't 0:08:42.630 --> 0:08:43.910 make us pay, but it took a little while. 0:08:44.690 --> 0:08:48.610 I wonder if that's like a scam that those people do, like, regularly. 0:08:49.130 --> 0:08:51.809 No, Susan, they just figured, they just targeted them. Of 0:08:51.870 --> 0:08:53.010 course it's a scam. 0:08:53.030 --> 0:08:54.459 Yeah. 0:08:54.500 --> 0:08:56.099 Those two look like they don't know what they're doing, 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.090 so let's scam them. Thank you. 0:08:59.160 --> 0:08:59.620 Wow. 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:00.980 That's wild. 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.930 So when you saw him on TV, Emily, did you 0:09:05.190 --> 0:09:07.490 ever imagine I'm going to date this man? 0:09:07.830 --> 0:09:13.110 I'm going to fall in love with this man. 0.0.0% chance. 0:09:13.770 --> 0:09:17.000 Like no way. And the fact that like Jordan mentioned, 0:09:17.020 --> 0:09:19.339 we live so close to each other and like I 0:09:19.660 --> 0:09:21.500 run on the Lake shore and like he walks the 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.170 dog on the Lake shore. I play volleyball at North app. 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.330 He plays volleyball at North app. So we're like, The 0:09:26.370 --> 0:09:28.430 fact that, like, we hadn't crossed paths. 0:09:28.460 --> 0:09:29.380 I know, right? 0:09:29.670 --> 0:09:30.400 Yeah. Bizarre. 0:09:30.660 --> 0:09:32.800 Even though it's, yeah, I mean, now that you, if 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.620 you had seen me, maybe you would have been like, 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.380 you know, somehow we would have connected, but probably not. 0:09:37.420 --> 0:09:38.880 She had to see you on TV. 0:09:39.300 --> 0:09:41.920 I was out of the demographic of the age demographic 0:09:41.940 --> 0:09:43.220 that she probably was looking for. 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.070 That's true. And we'll definitely get into that. 0:09:46.090 --> 0:09:47.770 Oh, we're definitely going to get into that. 0:09:47.809 --> 0:09:48.030 Yeah. 0:09:48.070 --> 0:09:52.530 What has been the best part of your relationship so far? 0:09:52.550 --> 0:09:57.000 Oh, wow. It's either me or you answer. 0:09:57.140 --> 0:09:59.520 I mean, I just think that the fact that we... 0:10:00.309 --> 0:10:03.550 we have this this commonality of you know now that 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.840 we're our friends are friends together and our families and 0:10:06.900 --> 0:10:09.700 like we the activities that we now can do that 0:10:09.740 --> 0:10:12.420 I was doing by myself that we now do together 0:10:12.660 --> 0:10:14.140 and it's just you know you know one and two 0:10:15.090 --> 0:10:17.550 you know, one plus one makes two, but it really 0:10:17.590 --> 0:10:20.589 makes five. You know, it's just really, it really expanded 0:10:20.630 --> 0:10:24.410 both of our lives so much, you know, more than, 0:10:24.429 --> 0:10:26.270 you know, more than you can put a number on it. 0:10:26.270 --> 0:10:28.540 It just was, it's been really, really fun. 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:31.339 I've brought her into things that I do and she's 0:10:31.380 --> 0:10:34.100 bringing me into her world and you combine those two worlds. 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.679 And it's just, it's just been fantastic. Yeah. 0:10:36.700 --> 0:10:36.860 Yeah. 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.400 I think too, to jump off of that, like sometimes 0:10:39.450 --> 0:10:42.990 you're in a relationship and it feels like okay, I 0:10:43.010 --> 0:10:44.790 got to like make time for this person. We have 0:10:44.830 --> 0:10:47.210 to make sure that we like schedule dates. Otherwise, when 0:10:47.230 --> 0:10:48.710 are we going to see each other? But I feel 0:10:48.770 --> 0:10:53.170 like he's been so like additive to my life versus 0:10:53.270 --> 0:10:55.900 like adding something else to my plate. It's like, he 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.480 makes my life happier and better and easier. And just 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.199 like in general. 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.679 Better, um, which that's beautiful. Yeah. 0:11:03.820 --> 0:11:05.470 Well, it's so true. And so like, we just have 0:11:05.500 --> 0:11:07.850 so much fun and like, we'll be like, so I 0:11:07.890 --> 0:11:11.220 had to stay, um, at a hotel a lot the 0:11:11.260 --> 0:11:14.440 last couple of weeks for Bears training camp. And so 0:11:14.500 --> 0:11:16.880 we'll only get to see each other once a week 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.400 or so. And it's like, I get so excited. Like, 0:11:19.420 --> 0:11:21.040 oh my gosh, we get to see each other tonight. 0:11:21.460 --> 0:11:24.620 And it's been almost two years. And to still feel 0:11:24.660 --> 0:11:28.240 those like butterflies and like excitement to be with each other, 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.980 I think like is very special. Something I've never had before. 0:11:32.420 --> 0:11:34.500 And you mentioned that your parents have met. 0:11:35.390 --> 0:11:37.170 Yes. Well, not my parents. 0:11:37.210 --> 0:11:41.449 My parents are gone, but I've met her parents several 0:11:41.490 --> 0:11:42.090 times now. 0:11:42.590 --> 0:11:43.870 There probably was a little. 0:11:45.450 --> 0:11:50.130 Hesitancy or maybe some questioning on their side at first. 0:11:50.150 --> 0:11:51.770 Because of the age difference? 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:53.010 It makes sense. 0:11:53.500 --> 0:11:56.320 Emily, did they actually ask you? I mean, what did 0:11:56.340 --> 0:11:59.260 they actually say? When you say hesitancy, what happened? 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:03.340 Well, I know that they were questioning Emily on, you know, 0:12:04.540 --> 0:12:05.980 is she going to have to take care of me, 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.240 you know, when I'm an old man? Or, you know, like, 0:12:08.340 --> 0:12:10.720 is this really what you want? I mean, you could 0:12:10.740 --> 0:12:11.140 speak to that. 0:12:11.179 --> 0:12:11.380 Yeah. 0:12:11.860 --> 0:12:15.479 No, I think, like, at first, so one of the 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:17.209 reasons why I took the picture with Jordan is because, like, 0:12:17.260 --> 0:12:19.620 my dad and stepmom were watching the show, and they 0:12:19.660 --> 0:12:22.309 watched the You Ladies on New Year's season as well. 0:12:23.690 --> 0:12:26.329 And so I called my dad, and I'm like, I 0:12:27.030 --> 0:12:29.329 think I'm going to go on a date with Jordan. 0:12:29.350 --> 0:12:32.309 And he's like, and my stepmom was on, they're like, oh. 0:12:33.170 --> 0:12:35.569 what like we love Tim that's gonna be so much 0:12:35.690 --> 0:12:40.010 fun and so then after they're like how'd it go 0:12:40.070 --> 0:12:42.330 like tell us and I'm like you guys it was 0:12:42.490 --> 0:12:45.000 actually great like we're gonna hang out again and I 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.320 and then like again and again and so I think 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.339 after like a couple weeks they were like wait this 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:53.240 is not just like one date like this is pretty serious. 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:54.720 There's something happening yeah like. 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:58.740 They're like this isn't um this isn't just like you're 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:00.780 doing this just to like do this one time um 0:13:02.450 --> 0:13:05.870 And so I think like at first they were just like, okay, 0:13:05.910 --> 0:13:09.309 like there's, this is a big age difference. Is this, yeah. 0:13:09.370 --> 0:13:11.380 Is this what you want? We know like this is 0:13:11.410 --> 0:13:13.100 what you've wanted. And are you going to be able 0:13:13.140 --> 0:13:15.540 to have what you want if this is the person 0:13:15.580 --> 0:13:18.699 you're with? And I'm like, we're, we're having, we love 0:13:18.740 --> 0:13:20.340 each one. We didn't love each other yet, but I'm like, 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.460 we're having so much fun together. Like I don't need 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.820 to think about 10 years from now, right now, like 0:13:25.860 --> 0:13:28.709 right now it's just, we're just having fun. And then, 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:31.569 as we got more and more serious and my parents 0:13:31.590 --> 0:13:33.550 spent more and more time with him and my sister 0:13:33.610 --> 0:13:36.290 and my niece and my friends, and they're all like, like, 0:13:36.630 --> 0:13:40.689 don't let him go. Like you, like, he's great. And 0:13:40.950 --> 0:13:42.589 I think, yeah, just want him over. 0:13:42.610 --> 0:13:43.450 We want everybody. 0:13:49.260 --> 0:13:52.670 I'm curious, Emily, or one of you said that, um, 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:56.120 I think you said, Emily, you said he was too 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.480 young to be on The Golden Bachelorette. When did you 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.840 actually find out how old Jordan is? 0:14:02.140 --> 0:14:04.310 I think I Googled him right before our date. 0:14:04.330 --> 0:14:06.650 Does she even know now? I'm not sure. 0:14:06.690 --> 0:14:09.910 I've been hiding a few things from her. 0:14:09.970 --> 0:14:12.750 Oh, spill, Jordan. Don't hang that in front of me, Jordan. 0:14:12.770 --> 0:14:14.130 You know I'll go down that road. 0:14:15.790 --> 0:14:18.980 I can understand, certainly from her dad's side. I'm a 0:14:19.020 --> 0:14:21.420 father of three daughters, so If one of my daughters 0:14:21.610 --> 0:14:23.930 was dating a man quite a bit older than her, 0:14:23.970 --> 0:14:26.490 it would give me some cause for concern. 0:14:27.390 --> 0:14:29.130 And then I'd obviously have to meet him and spend 0:14:29.170 --> 0:14:33.410 time with him to make sure those were taken seriously. 0:14:33.490 --> 0:14:36.470 And we can quell that and make sure he's the 0:14:36.490 --> 0:14:38.670 kind of person I want for my daughter. So hopefully 0:14:38.690 --> 0:14:40.910 I've done that job with her dad. 0:14:41.690 --> 0:14:43.070 They talk all the time. 0:14:43.130 --> 0:14:45.750 He's become a good friend, yeah. 0:14:46.090 --> 0:14:46.990 They're buddies. 0:14:47.730 --> 0:14:51.250 So I have a couple of questions here. The age 0:14:51.290 --> 0:14:55.090 difference is what, 23? How many years are you apart? 0:14:55.090 --> 0:14:55.810 23. 0:14:55.810 --> 0:15:00.340 And you have children, you just said, Jordan. I don't 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.560 know the ages of your kids, but I'm guessing they're 0:15:02.620 --> 0:15:04.240 close in age to Emily? 0:15:04.860 --> 0:15:06.480 Well, six years is the year. 0:15:06.500 --> 0:15:07.420 My daughter is 34 and Emily is 40. 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:07.580 Okay. 0:15:07.620 --> 0:15:07.760 Okay. 0:15:10.670 --> 0:15:14.060 So what did your kids say? Because I also have 0:15:14.100 --> 0:15:18.040 three children, and I'm just curious, what did your kids 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.660 say when you started dating, and especially now that it's 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:21.180 so serious? 0:15:21.540 --> 0:15:23.380 Sure. If it was ever going to get serious, my 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:26.440 kids would have to buy in. There's no question about it. 0:15:26.470 --> 0:15:27.790 I'm really involved with my girls. 0:15:28.230 --> 0:15:32.970 And like I said, my oldest daughter, Allie, and Jamie, 0:15:33.270 --> 0:15:35.710 they met Emily a few days into our relationship. We 0:15:35.750 --> 0:15:38.220 were at a bar for Thanksgiving together. And we were 0:15:38.260 --> 0:15:39.680 all just having a good time. And then it was 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.700 just kind of loose. And like, here's this, here's this 0:15:41.740 --> 0:15:43.640 woman I met, she's going to hang out with us. 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.080 And then it more evolved into, you know, you know, who, 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:48.660 you know, is she going to be part of our family? 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:50.440 I said, we don't know. We're just dating. We're having 0:15:50.460 --> 0:15:50.940 a good time. 0:15:51.340 --> 0:15:53.660 But my girls are either kind of, they're almost like 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:55.610 either they love you, they hate you kind of thing. 0:15:55.620 --> 0:15:56.990 And they're very protective of me. 0:15:57.050 --> 0:15:58.050 That sounds like my kids. 0:15:58.650 --> 0:15:58.810 Yeah. 0:15:58.870 --> 0:16:02.070 If they, if they smelled anything nefarious in Emily, they 0:16:02.090 --> 0:16:05.780 would have sniffed it out and And they would not 0:16:05.820 --> 0:16:07.740 have been shy about telling me they're not into her. 0:16:07.860 --> 0:16:12.000 Dad, this is not going to work. But it's been great. 0:16:13.100 --> 0:16:15.360 So are you saying, in short, they have totally bought 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:16.300 into your relationship? 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.750 Absolutely. They've totally bought into it. And I would say 0:16:19.770 --> 0:16:20.750 you're close with the girls. 0:16:20.790 --> 0:16:25.690 Yeah. I could cry thinking about it because I'm so 0:16:25.750 --> 0:16:29.590 thankful for the relationship I have with them. They're so 0:16:29.690 --> 0:16:33.040 great and wonderful. I really might cry thinking about it 0:16:33.140 --> 0:16:38.510 because it wouldn't work out if I didn't get along 0:16:38.530 --> 0:16:41.930 with them. But we have our own relationships and Jamie's 0:16:41.950 --> 0:16:45.910 getting married in a little over a month and she's 0:16:45.930 --> 0:16:48.110 let me be part of a lot of things for 0:16:48.130 --> 0:16:51.960 the wedding that's just been really special. And same with 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:56.460 my family buying in with him. So I feel like 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.310 there's a lot of things that could have prevented us 0:16:59.330 --> 0:17:02.890 from being with each other with our families not approving, 0:17:02.930 --> 0:17:06.240 but like they do. And so I feel really thankful 0:17:06.300 --> 0:17:06.660 for that. 0:17:06.859 --> 0:17:10.700
