5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: Where are you in the world right now?

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 2: I am in Huntsville, Alabama?

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: Okay, my home?

8
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 3: Is that where you've always lived?

9
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: No, it's not. I'm originally from Mississippi. That's where I

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 2: grew up.

11
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 4: And then I moved to Atlanta when I started my

12
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 4: career as a flight attendant and I was there for

13
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 4: thirty plus years.

14
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: Wow, why did you leave Atlanta?

15
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 2: Well, for family reasons. I have a granddaughter here who was.

16
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 4: Most important to me at the time when I moved,

17
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 4: and so she needed care and I wanted to give

18
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 4: that care and help my son out with the daughter.

19
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

20
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: Are you an Alabama football fan?

21
00:00:59,240 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 5: I am not.

22
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 4: Actually, my son played football for the University of Tennessee.

23
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: So we are in ball for life.

24
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: How are they this year? They are they any good?

25
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 2: They're pretty good? Yeah, they're pretty good.

26
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 4: When he was there, it was some heartbreaking football. But

27
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 4: they're a lot better now, not because they're being gone.

28
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, yes, okay, So, and how why why did

29
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: you want to go on the Golden Bachelor.

30
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 4: Well, I was nominated by my son to go on

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 4: the Golden Bachelor.

32
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,919
Speaker 2: It really wasn't on my radar.

33
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: Did he tell you before he nominated you?

34
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 4: He did not, you know, of course I knew about

35
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 4: the Bachelor franchise. I didn't really follow it, and I

36
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 4: did not watch the first season of Golden Bachelor or Bachelorette,

37
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 4: but he mentioned one evening he did say, Mom, there's

38
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 4: this new show for seniors, you know, dating show, and

39
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 4: I think he'd be good on it. So that was it.

40
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 4: And then later, I think maybe a month later.

41
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: I get the call. So it was a total surprise.

42
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 3: Did you watch the show prior?

43
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: I did.

44
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 4: I watched some of it, I didn't watch all of it,

45
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 4: So in preparation for the show, I thought, maybe I better,

46
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 4: I better see what's going on here. So I wish

47
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 4: I had done a more in depth study to know

48
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 4: exactly what I was getting myself into.

49
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: Oh, really, like, what do you wish you had known

50
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: that you didn't?

51
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 2: Yeah? Just how.

52
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 4: How thrilling exciting everything was, the dates and all of

53
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 4: the things that you had to do in competition.

54
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: With others, and yeah, just I didn't know I had.

55
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 4: I had absolutely really no idea, you know, I saw

56
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 4: the pickleball and all of that, but and maybe being

57
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 4: in it too, you know, as much when you're actually

58
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 4: in it, it seems more intense than it onto the

59
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 4: overwhelming exactly.

60
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was good. It was It was so

61
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: much fun.

62
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 4: Actually, and after the show, after all the excitement and stuff,

63
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 4: I felt like I was coming down from the highest

64
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 4: time I ever felt like, nothing's going on around here.

65
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: It's dull.

66
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, it's very one hundred to zero once you get.

67
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 6: Home exactly exactly, well, because every day you're dealing with

68
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 6: producers knocking on your door talking to you, asking you

69
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 6: about how you feel, and then all of a sudden

70
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 6: you get home and it's crickets.

71
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

72
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, crickets every day, and you never knew what to expect.

73
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was crazy. It was fun. I enjoyed it.

74
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 3: How is your relationship with women? Did you get really

75
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: close with any of them? Yeah?

76
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

77
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 4: Yes, that was the best part of this whole experience,

78
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 4: the best part. So on night one, I think the

79
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 4: first person that I bonded with, and I think she

80
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: was the loveliest person in the room side and out

81
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 4: was Tracy. She was so so beautiful, so sweet, and

82
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 4: she was there when I got there, so so welcoming

83
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 4: and warm, and so it was nice running into her.

84
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: Also, andre.

85
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 4: I really bonded with her, Carla, Jerry, Cindy, Nicole, And

86
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 4: this was over time the rest of them, But that night,

87
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 4: I think my favorite word Tracy and Carla and Jerry.

88
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: And how was your connection with Mel that first night?

89
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: Did you feel any were there any sparks?

90
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 4: I was definitely attracted to him when they announced him,

91
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 4: I thought, Okay, nice, nice. Then he made those comments

92
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 4: which caused me pause, of course, and I was like,

93
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 4: what was.

94
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: There a party that wanted to back out of the

95
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: show after you heard that?

96
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I I felt that, you know, in his

97
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 4: description of who he wanted it didn't include me, So

98
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 4: what was the point.

99
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I feel like he made Do you think

100
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: he he made that up to you guys?

101
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 4: He did apologize, and his apology seemed very sincere, so

102
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 4: I think most of us took it as that.

103
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: And we were comfortable going forward.

104
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 4: After he did come to us, you know, he just

105
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 4: wanted a chance to make it up to us, and

106
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 4: so we would God.

107
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 2: With his apologies, So after that it was it was better.

108
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, coming on the show, it does end an engagement.

109
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 3: Was that something that you were hoping for?

110
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 4: Of course, yes, I'm sixty well i'm sixty three now.

111
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 4: I was sixty two at the time, and so but

112
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 4: at this big age, I'm looking for love. I'm ready,

113
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 4: I want it, and I think this is like crunch

114
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 4: time for me. So definitely that was the purpose to

115
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 4: find love when I came on the show, that was

116
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 4: my whole motivation.

117
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 3: Do you think that mel is looking for engagement? Is

118
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: he talking about engagement while you guys are on the

119
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 3: show together?

120
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 2: Was he talking about engagement?

121
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 4: Well not really, you know, it was just banter getting

122
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 4: to know each other. We didn't get to the point

123
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 4: where we spoke of that, but we talked about some

124
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 4: other things that, you know, what we both wanted out

125
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 4: of a relationship and stuff like that. So I thought

126
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 4: we had a connection early on, but also I felt

127
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 4: like he had better connections with some of the other people.

128
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: So what was dating life like for you prior to

129
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: going on the show.

130
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was out of a relationship probably a year before.

131
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 2: Going on the show, So that was a long relationship.

132
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 4: It lasted maybe two years, and so then I was

133
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 4: out of that relationship for a year and I had

134
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 4: just been casually dating nothing serious before the show.

135
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 3: What are you looking for when you look for a

136
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 3: lifelong partner?

137
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: Oh, okay, yes, I want someone who's kind. That's such

138
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 4: an appealing trait to me. I want someone who is

139
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 4: God fearing, someone who is family orientated, someone who likes

140
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 4: to have fun, loyal, and just an overall good guy.

141
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: Someone who's nice to me. Physically. I don't have a

142
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: lot of physical traits.

143
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 4: I am a tall girl. I'm five to nine, and

144
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 4: so just if they can be a little bit toler

145
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 4: than me. Like I said, I don't have a lot

146
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 4: of traits. But and then some was in good shape,

147
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 4: not the epitome. They don't have to have an eight

148
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 4: pack or all of that, but you know, can travel

149
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: and get.

150
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: Around and just yeah.

151
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: Any of you nice tall men that are listening to

152
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: this podcast, which there's probably not many. So much so well,

153
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: we had we had we had last week. We actually

154
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: had Jared Freed on this podcast, and he was the

155
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: comedian that was on. Yes, I told us, he told

156
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: us that you by far blew everyone away. Is that true?

157
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: Well, I thought that one. I thought I won the roast.

158
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 4: I had the crowd, I had Jared cracking up, Mail

159
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: was cracking up, and.

160
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: I felt like that was gonna be my drop the

161
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 2: mic moment.

162
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

163
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 4: And when Mail came out, first thing he said was

164
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 4: Monica be you killed it. So I'm thinking I want yeah. Yes,

165
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 4: And so I felt like Mail picked who he was

166
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 4: most attracted to, not necessarily who won the roast.

167
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: Yes, Jared said, you know, if he wanted to keep

168
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 3: making out with Nicole in the pool, maybe.

169
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 2: That's what I thought too.

170
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: So did you have any stand up experience prior to

171
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: that date?

172
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no.

173
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 3: No anything like performance, like acting anything. No, Wow, that's impressive. No.

174
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 4: I am a flight attendant, so you know I'm doing

175
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 4: though we don't really do that anymore, but I've done

176
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 4: that for years, getting up in front of you know, people,

177
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 4: pointing out you know, the safety features and stuff of

178
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 4: the aircraft. So I thought, well, I'm used to standing

179
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 4: up in front of people. The hardest part for me

180
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 4: was doing the cheerleading competition.

181
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: Oh really, that so it's tough.

182
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was so out of out of my comfort zone.

183
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 4: Then but the actual roast. I felt really comfortable going in.

184
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 4: Everybody was sitting around just kind of working on their material,

185
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 4: and like, just and I'm sitting there like I'm at

186
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 4: the bar.

187
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: Smart and then are you ready?

188
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 5: I guess so, I don't know what are y'all doing.

189
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 2: I didn't know what was taking so long. I was like,

190
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: what are y'all doing? Anyway?

191
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 4: I thought I was going to be the least prepared

192
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 4: and maybe not as good as the rest of them

193
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 4: because they were working so long and hard.

194
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 2: I was just like I had I had three or four.

195
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 4: Segments I wanted to cover boom boom, boom bam, and

196
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 4: that that was it.

197
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 5: We had a minute.

198
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, what else are you gonna say? A minute?

199
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 4: And so yeah, so I was feeling because of that,

200
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 4: I was feeling, well, maybe I need to circle back

201
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 4: and see but well, oh well, can I have another margarita?

202
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: Please?

203
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: As a as a flight attendant, what's the most annoying

204
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: thing someone can do? What was like, what was like

205
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: your biggest pet peeve? As a flight attendant?

206
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good question because we travel so much.

207
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm curious.

208
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you know what my biggest pet peeve is

209
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 4: and it's small. But when you are on a car

210
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 4: and you want to serve three hundred people and everybody says,

211
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 4: you go, what would you like to drink?

212
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: And they say what do you have?

213
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 5: Really?

214
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: What you have? Like oh yeah, people definitely ask that.

215
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, yeah, I actually.

216
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 5: A category, right, give me a category?

217
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: What type of soft drinks do you have? What type

218
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 2: of wishes do you have? What you know, what kind

219
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 2: of juice do you have? But no, what do you have?

220
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: And it's like, what do you want?

221
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: We literally have we have it? We actually have it

222
00:11:59,280 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: all start there.

223
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, let's narrow it down. Do you want booze?

224
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 3: Do you want soda? Let's take a category to work with. Yeah,

225
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 3: that's so funny. I never would have thought about that.

226
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: Let's jump real quick to the women. Tell all, okay,

227
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: how was that experience for you? And just like seeing

228
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: all the women again.

229
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it was great.

230
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was great.

231
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: It was so much fun. We stayed up, I mean

232
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: we stayed up most of the night.

233
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 4: The last night we were there. It's a group of

234
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 4: us in the room. We were all lying, just chatty.

235
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 4: It felt so good to readnight with these girls.

236
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: What were your thoughts on we see a little bit

237
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: of drama at the beginning, which was all about Nicole

238
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: and right, some of her actions and some of the

239
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: things she said, what is your take on all of that?

240
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: Well, Nicole. I love Nicole in the house, I really did.

241
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 4: She was a good cook and so in the kitchen

242
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 4: and I sometimes I was her soux shift and we

243
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 4: got to talk and I remember one instance she was

244
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 4: trying to help me get close to the mail, like

245
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 4: look in his eyes and keep that.

246
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: But we just would give each other corners.

247
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 4: But loved her, and by the time all of the

248
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 4: drama started, I was actually gone, I don't have any

249
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 4: beef with the cold. I love her, still do, but yeah,

250
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 4: it was kind of tense. Therefore a moment for the coal.

251
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: No, I thought. I mean, I think we've had her

252
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: on the podcast and she was great, like you know,

253
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: she she was a little bit polarizing for some people

254
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: that it made for good TV, you know, and that's

255
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: all we it did, you know.

256
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 4: I look at it like, you know, people are different

257
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 4: and they go about getting what they want in different ways.

258
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 4: Of course that wasn't me. I'm not that person. If

259
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 4: you don't see me, you just don't see me.

260
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be like.

261
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 4: Here here, I'm here, you know, and throw of us

262
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 4: stuff up my personality. But she did what she felt

263
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 4: like she needed to do.

264
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: I guess is there anything that, looking back, that you

265
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: wish you would have done differently?

266
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: I don't have any regrets I could have.

267
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 4: I think put myself out there a little bit more,

268
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 4: But once I felt like other people had better.

269
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: Connections, I didn't want to. I didn't feel like I

270
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: wanted to.

271
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's tough.

272
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

273
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: Man, at the end of the day, there's only one guy.

274
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: You know, There's one guy that's right.

275
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 3: What is next for Monica be now that the show

276
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: is almost completely over.

277
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm still looking for love. I am still looking

278
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 4: for love. I'm going to get back on the dating

279
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 4: scene and hopefully it'll happen for me soon because that's

280
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 4: really what I want. I'm back at work and I'm

282
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,960

Speaker 1: than later. If not, if they do Bachelor in Paradise again,

284

Speaker 1: I could see you on there, so ooh, never know.

285
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,600

379
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,760

380
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 5: I was looking for. I did not have that initial zing,

381
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 5: but I said, you know what, I'm just going to

382
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 5: be me. I'm going to see if you know, a

383
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,239

384
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 5: to go out there and be who I am?

385
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,119

388
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 5: a great time. It was like a sisterhood. The whole

389
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,719
Speaker 5: experience was so much fun for me. It was really

390
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 5: it was. I had a really good time and I

391
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 5: just let myself be who I you know, I was

392
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 5: so you know, I wish I would have stayed a

393
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 5: little longer, but I just could not fake a connection.

394
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 5: That's just not who I.

395
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,480

Speaker 5: Did I have a favorite group date? They were all

398
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 5: fun from what I remember. The roast was a lot

399
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 5: of fun. You know, everything seems so. What were the

400
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 5: other group dates? I can't even remember. It seems like

401
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 5: ages ago.

402
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 3: That's okay. The roast was one of our favorites too.

403
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was fun.

404
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: What did you think of We actually had Jared Freeda

405
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: on this podcast. What did you think of him? Because

406
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: he he had a lot of fun with you you

407
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: could tell.

408
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I guess I reminded him of his Jewish mother.

409
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 5: He was having PTSD and it turns out I had

410
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 5: met his mom a long time ago and really hilarious. Right,

411
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 5: Oh my god. I don't know. Maybe his mom told him.

412
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 3: I feel like he said his mom's been Yeah, yeah,

413
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 3: I didn't realize that. It's because you guys had met

414
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 3: in the past.

415
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 5: Isn't that hilarious?

416
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 3: Such a small world. What do your girls think about

417
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 3: all of this? How has it been? Have you watched

418
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 3: it back with them? Have they been watching?

419
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 5: You know? It was so much fun. And initially I

420
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 5: was like, like, how am I going to be on TV?

421
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 5: I'm a little bit quirky, I'm funny. I don't even

422
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 5: try to be funny. I'm just such a dork. I'm

423
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 5: an accounting nerd. Could you imagine this as an accounting

424
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 5: and finance background? Is that hilarious?

425
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: I think it makes sense actually, But no, it was

426
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: so much fun.

427
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 5: That had a really good time my girls. You know,

428
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 5: they thought I was precious.

429
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, they watched it back.

430
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, what did you do? Remind me, what did you do?

431
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: Out of the limo? You did something? What did you do?

432
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 5: Yes? So out of the limo and I knew something

433
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 5: was going to go awry. I just had this vibe.

434
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 5: So my girls had a big banner up and Yeah,

435
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 5: I was coming out of the limo and you know,

436
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 5: I'm in my hot, sexy heels and I step out

437
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 5: and I'm I'm like pounding on the banner. It was

438
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 5: supposed to be perforated. I wasn't wearing my glasses. I

439
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 5: couldn't see anything. I'm like, okay, where is the perporation?

440
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 5: So my initial instinct was now, help me help. So

441
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 5: he had to walk towards it and tear it open.

442
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,479
Speaker 5: I couldn't reach the banner. I'm like all of like

443
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 5: five two five six with heels.

444
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I do remember that. Actually that was

445
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 3: very funny. But I feel like it ended up being

446
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 3: a cute moment that he came over and he helped

447
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: you and it all worked out.

448
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 5: Right, It all worked out, and it was a fun moment.

449
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 5: So I was very spontaneous.

450
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 3: Was it fun to have your daughters there for night one?

451
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 3: Did it help ease your nerves at all?

452
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 5: I wasn't really nervous. I was just like myself and

453
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 5: having a good time.

454
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: That's that's honestly, And you could tell, and that's what

455
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: makes for opinion, what makes for the best TV when

456
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: someone's just their self.

457
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was just my quirky self. I mean, do

458
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 5: I wish I had that zing and that connection right away? Yeah?

459
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 5: But you know we didn't connect, and it's okay. It

460
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 5: doesn't mean he's not a great guy. I don't know

461
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 5: well enough, so I can't say.

462
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: But I know, what, do you think you could have

463
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: got there with him if you had a little more time,

464
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: or you think it was just like there just wasn't anything.

465
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 3: I don't see it between me too.

466
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 5: You know, I am full of life, I'm a little

467
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 5: bit of an intellect, i am quirky, I'm lively, I

468
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 5: like having a good time. I am full of sparkle

469
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 5: and personality.

470
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 6: I don't think he.

471
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 5: Got me and I did not get him right, and

472
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 5: I wasn't gonna fake it, you know.

473
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a good thing. How did you

474
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 3: feel about the Woman Tell All? How was filmmate have

475
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 3: seeing all the women again? Ah?

476
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 5: The Women Tell All? I opened my mouth a little bit.

477
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so we see at the beginning of The

478
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: Women Tell All there's some drama with Nicole and some

479
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: of the other women and Nicole and Dobbie mainly. What

480
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: were your thoughts on that whole situation?

481
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 5: I don't do well with drama. I'm you know, I

482
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 5: was raised to be very classy. I'm very proud of

483
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 5: who I am in my family. But I have a

484
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 5: very very good BS detector, and there was a lot

485
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 5: of BS going on.

486
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 3: Really, so yeah, let's give it to us.

487
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 5: I had to open my mouth just a little.

488
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,959
Speaker 3: Bit share share with us who I think.

489
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 5: I said something to the effect that, you know, Nicole

490
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 5: was saying how she had feelings for mouth give me

491
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 5: a break. Okay, I can smell BS from a mile away.

492
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 5: All she wanted to do was to be on that

493
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 5: show to you know, grow her Instagram, you know. And

494
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 5: the thing is, if she would have even been honest

495
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 5: on the tell all it was all BS. She was

496
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 5: in for all the wrong reasons. And you know what,

497
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 5: everyone knew in the house that I didn't connect with him,

498
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,479
Speaker 5: And I told everybody I didn't care about leaving because

499
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 5: I wanted to give somebody else who had a real

500
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 5: connection with him a chance. It's okay, my guy will

501
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 5: find me. That's not even a problem. And it's the

502
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 5: woman who ultimately picks the guy anyway. But so getting

503
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 5: back to this whole Nicole thing, without beIN Cattie or anything.

504
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 5: She was in there for the wrong reasons. She made

505
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 5: it very obvious. She lied about a lot of things.

506
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 5: And you know what, my BS detector in that seat

507
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 5: was going off. And I said, Amy, do you say

508
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 5: anything or do you just keep your mouth quiet? And

509
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 5: you know what, I just it's just had to come out.

510
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 5: And I think I said, if it walks like a

511
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 5: duck and it quacks like a duck, what is it,

512
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 5: you guys, it's a duck. It's a duck.

513
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 4: Quack whack whack.

514
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: Well you don't think so. I I agree. I think

515
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: like Nicole was there for other reasons as well. But

516
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: I do think she liked Mel. You don't think she

517
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 1: was into Mel at all. You think that was bullshit.

518
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 5: I think it was bullshit. Shee. Now, I can't fake

519
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 5: it with the guy.

520
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 2: I just can't.

521
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 5: I feel that zinging. I'm into him or I'm not.

522
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 3: You know, what are you looking for? And a guy?

523
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 5: Now, what am I looking for? Well? I need somebody

524
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 5: that matches my energy, that can laugh, we can laugh together,

525
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 5: like doing the glamorous things are really fun, but the

526
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 5: day to day things like going to the market together, cooking,

527
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 5: working out together, snuggling up like the real stuff, because

528
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 5: that's what's important on a day to day thing, and

529
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 5: especially as you get older, you grow old together. Well

530
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 5: I'm never gonna grow old, but you grow older together.

531
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 5: You take care of each other and you really enjoy

532
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 5: each other, and you get each other. You can be

533
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 5: like your quirky, adorable self. Are you?

534
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: Are you a good cook?

535
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 5: Am I a good cook? I think I'm a great cook? Girls?

536
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 5: Do you think I'm a good cook? Although you know,

537
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 5: the one year I had some friends over for brisket

538
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 5: this Russiashana, that brisket was so bad we were having

539
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 5: like lockjawn. Nobody could chew the brisket and everyone was

540
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 5: looking at me like Amy, what happened? I said, I

541
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 5: changed myself. I said, what a good cook?

542
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 2: I was on the roast.

543
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 1: That's how that's that's how it happens. Oh were you

544
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,480

545
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: lemon lemon bar situation?

546
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:31,479
Speaker 3: No?

00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 5: Thank god?

549
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 5: That was yeah? I was off at that point. But

550
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 5: the whole thing was like like Delulu Hello, they should

551
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 5: have been called Delulu bars. And that's a good market

552
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 5: that is a good marketing thing. You want to buy

553
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 5: some Delulu bars.

554
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 3: What do you think was so Delulu about the bars that.

555
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 5: She made them? Clearly everyone else was helping.

556
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I agree. You got her there, that's for sure.

557
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 5: I got to earn some other things too. But like

558
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 5: like Kathy would say, zip it, I'm not saying a word.

559
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 5: There's a fine line between you know, being too bitchy.

560
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 5: I'm not too bitchy.

561
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,600

Speaker 5: You know? The interesting thing is I think I'm a

565
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,719
Speaker 5: little bit more open than what I was so in

566
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 5: other words, like maybe somebody didn't fit the criteria in

567
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 5: my head, I'm going to be open to certain things.

568
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 3: That's cool, that's great. Are you on the apps? Are

570
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 5: I do, I do it all. But here's the thing.

571
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 5: At the end of the day, it's about a true

572
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 5: connection and feeling like you can be yourself and connecting

Speaker 1: Okay, So what what would you what would be your

580
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: advice for a woman going on the next season of

581
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: The Golden Bachelor who doesn't have a connection with the lead, Like.

582
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 5: Because my advice is just for her to be herself.

583
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 5: Just be yourself and you know it's okay, just have

584
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 5: a good time. That's what it's about. You know. The

585
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 5: whole thing about kind of chasing after gun is a

586
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 5: little ass backwards. For me, it was definitely weird. I'm like,

587
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 5: I don't go chasing after men. I'm like, I don't

588
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 5: know guys.

589
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: And you're competing with twenty five other women.

590
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't even view it. You know what the

591
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 5: weird thing was about the show for me, I didn't

592
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 5: even view it as a competition. I know it was

593
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 5: a competition and I was a contestant, but to me,

594
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 5: it was about am I finding that connection?

595
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 3: You know?

596
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 5: So it's like I didn't care about winning because I

597
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 5: won because I wasn't with somebody that I didn't have

598
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 5: a connection with. Ye, So I was actually the winner.

599
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 5: Why would I do that to myself? I'd be in

600
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 5: a divorce even before I got engaged.

601
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,000

00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 5: when I'm in a relationship.

630
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: Sorry, that's fair. No, I think most people. Yeah, no,

631
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: I think that's all.

632
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 5: I'm going to keep this nice and you know PG rating.

633
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: No, I think I mean honestly, like, yeah, I love

634
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: everything you're saying because you have a thing. I think

635
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: you have a great perspective on life. And I think

636
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: you're just like you just live to enjoy.

637
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 5: Life as long as you're a good person. I used

638
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 5: to have this mantra with the girls. It's kind of nerdy.

639
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 5: So here goes my nerdy thing. Don't laugh at me.

640
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 5: I used to say. Before the girls would go to

641
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 5: bed every night, it was like an entire routine. It

642
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 5: was like a forty five minute routine. Because they didn't

643
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 5: like to go to sleep, you know, it was like,

644
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 5: you know, like not separation, but you know, little little kids.

645
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 5: So we would read, we would do a whole thing.

646
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 5: And I used to say to them after we did

647
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 5: the whole night tattoo, fluffy and jewel. It was like

648
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 5: their little Swariski Sawariski sivoriski mice. So anyway we would

649
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 5: do that and then at the end, I would say

650
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 5: life is a party, shoot for the stars. You could

651
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 5: be anything you want to be as long as you're

652
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 5: a good person. And that's really ingrained in their head

653
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 5: that life should be fun and even when shit hits

654
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 5: the fan, and believe me, it does. I think it's

655
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 5: your perspective on how you view things, like we're all

656
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 5: going to go through stuff and anyone who told you

657
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 5: they have a perfect life is full of it, you know.

658
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 5: So when you when there's you know, problems, it's how

659
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 5: do you handle the stuff. And if you handle it

660
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 5: with positivity and you know you're going to get through it,

661
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 5: it's all good.
