00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 4: Are you? Like? You?

22
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: A Rams? Are a Chargers fan?

23
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 4: I was a Rams fan until they moved, and once

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 4: they moved, I became a Raider fan when they came

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 4: to Los Angeles. But more importantly pro football. It's USC Trojans.

26
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 4: We fight on USC.

27
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard, I heard you're a USC fan. I

28
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 3: mean you guys. Well, it's been rough, right.

29
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 4: Don't remind me. I'm reminded constantly over the past couple

30
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 4: of weeks about the new division. We're in the Big Ten,

31
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 4: and yeah, it's it's been an interesting run so far.

32
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: Well, I'm from Chicago and we have your guys our

33
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: quarterback now, so.

34
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 4: All of my guys in the NFL. So that's my

35
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 4: new team is the du Bears.

36
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 3: Now, we'll see, we'll see how that works out. It

37
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: hasn't worked out good for anyone in a long time.

38
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: But hopefully you're on the men.

39
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 4: You're on the men.

40
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 3: So yeah, we'll probably have to stop talking about football

41
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: because our listeners don't want to hear about football, and

42
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 3: I know I shouldn't be talking about football. What How

43
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: did you get on to the Golden Bachelor.

44
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 4: It's it's an interesting journey. In the beginning, I thought

45
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 4: it like the Dickens. Someone came into my church and said,

46
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 4: I think you should fill this out, and I go, no,

47
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 4: I'm too private a person. I'm nah. And we befriend

48
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 4: each other and I went to support one of the

49
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 4: events that they were putting on, and lo and behold

50
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 4: it was an event for the Golden Bacheorette, and I said, sure,

51
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 4: let me fill this out and the rest is history,

52
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 4: and here I am.

53
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: Did you watch did you watch the Golden Bats?

54
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 4: I watched some episodes of The Golden Bachelor, and then

55
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 4: once I started, I couldn't stop, So I did. I did,

56
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: I have to admit, and I don't watch much television,

57
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 4: so it was it was a lot of fun.

58
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 3: Watching while watching that show. Did you think that you

59
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: could do something like this?

60
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 4: It never crossed my mind, to be honest with you,

61
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 4: although since being on this show, I can't see why

62
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 4: I didn't cross my mind, because what a fun experience

63
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 4: it's been. And but yeah, it never crossed my mind

64
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 4: at the time.

65
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like you you were one of the

66
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: guys that really.

67
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: You genuinely seem to have most of the guys on

68
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: your season really a good time, don't you think? Yeah?

69
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: I think so. Was it what you expected it to be?

70
00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 4: It was so much more. It was so much more. Uh, Yeah,

71
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 4: it was so much more than I could have ever

72
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 4: expected or anticipated. But it's been a great run, and

73
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 4: the the fun continues, I mean, this is this is amazing,

74
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 4: and I'm I'm humbled by the entire process.

75
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: Do you have kids?

76
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 4: I have two adult children and I have one grandson

77
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 4: who's all of five years old, So I have two

78
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 4: adult children.

79
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I think in the in the first episode

80
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 5: we saw was it your grandson that we saw in

81
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 5: the video clip?

82
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 4: That was my grandson? He is really my daughter Kelsey. Oh.

83
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 4: I wasn't expecting that. I don't know how the producers

84
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 4: pulled that off, but that was a very touching moment

85
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 4: because we talked my daughter and I about twice a

86
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 4: day on our way to work, on our way home

87
00:04:53,760 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 4: from work, and for that to be pulled was was

88
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 4: just another adjustment I had to make. So when they

89
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 4: showed it, it really hit home. And especially seeing my grandson.

90
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: What what did your daughter think of you going on

91
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: the show? Was she excited? Was she like what are you?

92
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: Why are you doing this?

93
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 4: She was? And both my son and daughter they're like, Dad,

94
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 4: we just want you to be happy. We want you

95
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 4: to to find someone that you can continue to walk

96
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 4: through life with. And my daughter says, Dad, you know

97
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 4: the show is national. You know you're going to be

98
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 4: seeing all over the world. I just thought, Oh my god.

99
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 4: You know, you don't think about that, but reality sets

100
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 4: in once you're there, and that's what I'm experiencing now.

101
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: So she warned me. She let me know.

102
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 5: I know, I feel like it can feel like almost

103
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 5: a disconnect. When you're filming the show. It's like, you

104
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 5: know it's going to be on TV and people are

105
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 5: going to see it. But the scale of how I

106
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 5: need people are going to see these moments. I just

107
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 5: feel like, never, even to this day, has never really

108
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 5: hit me like it is.

109
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: There's so many viewers.

110
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: It's even people listening to this podcast. I forget anyone

111
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: listens to this.

112
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

113
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 5: Joe and I when we were recording our apartment, we

114
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 5: always say like, oh, I forget the people listen to

115
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 5: what we're saying when we're just chatting.

116
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, right, exactly. Yeah. The magnitude is the scale

117
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 4: is You're right, it's just a thousand times greater than

118
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 4: you could have ever imagined.

119
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: Well wait, how how are you related to Tina Turner.

120
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 4: My godmother, her son and I Craig Turner and the

121
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 4: other boys, I, Ronnie and Michael. We all grew up

122
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 4: together from like fifth grade. And Craig was the best

123
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,559
Speaker 4: man at my wedding, and we were even roommates after

124
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 4: I came home from college. And then when my mom

125
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 4: passed back some time ago, and we would travel over

126
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 4: to Europe to see her. Once she moved, she said

127
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 4: she would take on the reins as my godmother and

128
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 4: not to worry and I could. I can always call.

129
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 4: So that's how that played out. Wo.

130
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a really unique story. But that's so beautiful.

131
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 4: And I hold on to every word that she's that

132
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 4: she's ever shared with me, the books that she would

133
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 4: give me to read some pretty powerful moments.

134
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: Nice. That's awesome. What do you still work or you retired?

135
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 4: I am retired, thank goodness, and I I what did

136
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 4: you do? Every minute? I was in corporate finance. I

137
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 4: worked for Fortune one hundred companies. One in particular was

138
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,559
Speaker 4: Southern California Edison and I was there for fifteen years.

139
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 4: And then I worked at an arrow defense arrow commercial

140
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 4: company Northrop Grumming Corporation.

141
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: Okay, wow, in and now you're loving retired life.

142
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 4: And now well.

143
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 3: And watching your watch and watching yourself back on the television.

144
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 4: That is it's the most insane thing when you you know,

145
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 4: you're sitting and I'm watching a sporting event and you

146
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 4: see yourself go across the screen.

147
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: It's like, those are all I actually forgot.

148
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 5: The promos are jarring when you're not expecting them, and

149
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, it's like your face and

150
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 5: you're like, oh my gosh, what am I doing there?

151
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 4: Totally?

152
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: What did you do for the premiere? Do you do

153
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: anything fun? To celebrate?

154
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 4: Some friends and some folks from our church put together

155
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 4: an event at one of their homes and it was

156
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 4: pretty special. You know, that's my family here in the

157
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 4: desert where I'm at, my family, my immediate families in

158
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 4: Los Angeles. So they put this thing on and it

159
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 4: was it was pretty special that they even wanted to

160
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 4: host the event, and yeah, it was great.

161
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 3: Can you can you take us back to night one

162
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 3: and just what was that experience like for you and

163
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: stepping out in the limo and finally getting into the mansion.

164
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, so night one it was. It was pretty amazing.

165
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 4: As we're on the limo and I'm with three or

166
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 4: four of the guys, and as we pull up the

167
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 4: driveway to the mansion, the nerves start setting in and

168
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 4: then we see Joan and it's like, oh my god,

169
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 4: there she is, and she looked like she was on

170
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 4: a pedestal with the lights and just bigger than life.

171
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 4: So you know, you get out of the car. I

172
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 4: saw Jordan and I kind of remember what I'm supposed

173
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 4: to say? What am I doing? Oh my? And I

174
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 4: danced my way up so I got rid of some

175
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 4: nervous energy there. That was kind of fun, smart, And

176
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 4: then she had to turn me where I was supposed

177
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 4: to go because I was just I was in awe.

178
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 4: I was lost. I was lost in a moment and

179
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 4: it was It was pretty cool. It was pretty cool.

180
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: How was it living with a bunch of guys?

181
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 4: I had kind of prepared myself for, not knowing what

182
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 4: to expect or what to anticipate. It was okay, It

183
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 4: was cool outside of the little bunk beds that we

184
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 4: had sleep.

185
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 2: Are you a top bunk or a bottom bunk?

186
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 4: I was a bottom bunker.

187
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: Nice.

188
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 4: Charles was above me. Charles was above me? Oh yeah, yeah,

189
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 4: So we were roommates. It was Charles, myself, Guy Chalk,

190
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 4: and Michael, which Charles, Charles Wayne.

191
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 3: Okay, and who who would you say would be your

192
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: closest friends?

193
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: In the house.

194
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 4: My closest friends were were Guy and Christopher. I connected

195
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 4: very well with with Chalk, and yeah, quite a few

196
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 4: of the guys we we It was like a brotherhood.

197
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 4: It was like a little fraternity Yeah, like fraternity house.

198
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 4: It was. It was. It was pretty special in that way.

199
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: And then before before you go on the show and

200
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 3: and you start dating Joan with twenty other guys, what

201
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: was what was dating life for you before going on?

202
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 4: It was? It was an interesting experience trying to find

203
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 4: someone that was equally yoked in in my faith and

204
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 4: my belief and some very long, continuous relationships, even proposing

205
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 4: to someone that didn't happen or come to fruition, which

206
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 4: was a little painful, but you know, we continue to

207
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 4: move forward and I think that she potentially is closer

208
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 4: than I could ever imagine. And they say, sometimes she's

209
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 4: the person is right in front of you. You just

210
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 4: have to let go and let God.

211
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: Did it feel crazy?

212
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 5: The idea of proposing to someone in such a short

213
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 5: amount of time.

214
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 4: That was insane crazy, And like, you know, yes, just

215
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 4: it's crazy to think that someone could actually connect in

216
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,239
Speaker 4: that short period of time and make it a lifetime.

217
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: Going forward, Yeah, yeah, true. Is that so.

218
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 3: That I'm assuming that's really important Having someone that has

219
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 3: same faith and beliefs as you. Is that like a

220
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 3: must in a relationship?

221
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's important because you know, when when

222
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 4: you when you discuss faithful things and uh and you

223
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 4: have a belief it isn't a deal killer, but I

224
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 4: think it's important that it helps exponentially having someone walk

225
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 4: in the same faith as you do.

226
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, what are some other things that you're looking for

227
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 5: when you're when you're dating?

228
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 4: Character? I think is important and someone that is is

229
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 4: true and honest with themselves and is not afraid to

230
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 4: be themselves. You know, as we get older, the more

231
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 4: comfortable in our skin we're supposed to be, the more

232
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 4: comfortable we're supposed to be with exhibiting who and what

233
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 4: we are. So I think those are some of the

234
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 4: import aspects I looked for in my partner. So what

235
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 4: I can travel with and walk on sandy beaches, looking

236
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 4: at global sunsets from time to time, and or just

237
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 4: sitting on the couch and grabbing some popcorn and watching

238
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 4: a film. So so yeah, those are some of the

239
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 4: qualities I think are are important to me.

240
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: How how would you describe your relationship with Joan, your

241
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: connection with her while on the show.

242
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 4: You know, it was pretty special and every opportunity I

243
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 4: got to spend with her and the time was it

244
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 4: was amazing getting to know her. From that first nostalgic

245
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 4: phone call that we made the first night with each other,

246
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 4: finding out that she was a straight A student was like,

247
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 4: you know, that's amazing. She wasn't involved in sports or athletics,

248
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 4: which is something that I did. But and and our

249
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 4: connection continued to grow in such a special way that

250
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 4: we are now and uh and have become very very

251
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 4: good friends.

252
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 3: Do you remember the moment and we see you you

253
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: tear up a little bit when she gave you the

254
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 3: picture of each other during was that the prom problem?

255
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 4: Yeah?

256
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: Why why was that moment so special for you?

257
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 4: I think it was special because it it hit me

258
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 4: emotionally with her doing something for me, and we were

259
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 4: all doing stuff for her to get her attention, and

260
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 4: the fact that I was the only guy that she

261
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 4: gave something to at that point it really touched me.

262
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 4: I thought, how awesome of you two to think of

263
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 4: me in that way. And as my daughter says, Dad,

264
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 4: she cried too much. And and I'm an emotional guy

265
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 4: and I don't mind, but you know, it was it

266
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 4: was pretty special. I mean it really really was, and

267
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 4: so it resonated with with me in that emotional kind

268
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 4: of play.

269
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: Yeah that that I mean, that makes that makes sense

270
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 3: and that okay, So what what was your face? Did

271
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 3: you have a favorite group date during your time?

272
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 4: My favorite group date was when we played kick Blow?

273
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah that was actually that was that was fun.

Speaker 4: That was Eric Dickerson.

277
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: And yeah, Andrew Reid. Yeah, that's right. What was it

278
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,080

281
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 4: not mistaken, but he was. Yeah, he did play the

282
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 4: Rams for a while, but that was after they moved

283
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 4: to Anaheim Angels. Yeah that was That was pretty awesome

284
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 4: because those guys were from my era growing up, uh

285
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 4: and watching football back in the old days, if you will. Yeah,

286
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 4: so it was great seeing those guys.

287
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 3: Yeah that's cool. And then how was it Yeah? How

288
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 3: was it playing competitive kickball? How how into it was

289
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 3: everyone and at it.

290
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 4: Well. I like to say I was the best. I

291
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 4: made a few pretty amazing, pretty good catches and amazing

292
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 4: catches out there. So Jordan, who was our pitcher, was

293
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 4: he was pretty amazing, very athletically inclined and was our

294
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 4: spiritual leader you know the picture, and he was great.

295
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 4: It was great with being on the same team with

296
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 4: Jordan's nice.

297
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: I love that. Yeah, I could. Uh do you do

298
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: you do you hit the gym at all? Now?

299
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 4: I do?

300
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 6: But the ironic thing, you know, it's like one of

301
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 6: those where something's not really working like it used to work.

302
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 6: I can go to gym and you know, you start

303
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 6: seeing the muscles and you say, okay, I can eat

304
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 6: whatever I want and I can take it off. It's

305
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 6: getting a lot harder to keep it off.

306
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I do go on a regular basis every

307
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 4: uh what is it? Three four, five times a week?

308
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 4: It just depends. It depends.

309
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you do you stretch? That's something I have.

310
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 3: I really try to focus on stretching because I hate

311
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 3: doing it, but I like I do and now I

312
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 3: think I've gotten much better.

313
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I forced you when we got together, I

314
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 5: was like, you can't keep not stretching, you're gonna hurt yourself.

315
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 4: You can almost get in a full workout stretching. It's

00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 4: as an example, especially as a faith based kind of guy,

431
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 4: knowing that there is still the possibility of getting with someone,

432
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 4: inspiring others in the way of just letting them know,

433
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 4: you know, keep hope alive because it is possible. Yeah,

434
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,160

435
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 4: not in your twenties, thirties, forties. It's sometimes better when

436
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 4: you're in your fifties or sixties. And I'm finding that

437
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 4: to be the case, because I can be me and

438
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 4: you can be you. And that's what I hope has

439
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 4: come out in this process is you you don't have

440
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 4: to be afraid of who you are and you can

441
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 4: really be true to yourself and your mate or partner

442
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 4: you know, has to be true to herself. So in

443
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 4: that way, I hope I I've brought some inspiration to

444
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,679
