Speaker 4: I manage a program pre nursing and nursing program, and

26
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 4: I developed instructional material for health sciences and I have

27
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 4: four programs under me, and I have about four hundred

28
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 4: students who go to the department on a semester basis.

29
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: So I'm very proud of the work I do.

30
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 5: Wow, that's amazing. So you do a nursing program. Were

31
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 5: you ever a nurse.

32
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 4: Well, I'm in a nursing school, and I decided I

33
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 4: really don't want to be personally close to a person

34
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 4: that closed. I was raising my kids at the same time,

35
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 4: I had a really hard time dealing with blood and

36
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 4: dealing hard time dealing with taking care of people because

37
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 4: my kids were young. At the same time, I'm like, no,

38
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 4: I can't do this.

39
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 5: One of my good friends went to teacher's college and

40
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 5: she's a teacher now and she has longer her boyfriend

41
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 5: they lived together, and you know, kids comes up when

42
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 5: you're chatting, and she's like, I don't know if I

43
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 5: can have my own kids and be a teacher at

44
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 5: the same time, because she's like, I go to school

45
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 5: and I give so much myself.

46
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 3: To taking care of these kids and teaching these kids.

47
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 5: She's just like younger kids, and she's like, I can't

48
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 5: imagine then coming home and having to take care of

49
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 5: my own kids at the same time.

50
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really difficult because I was a late rumor.

51
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 4: I was forty when I have my daughter. That was

52
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 4: you know, and I had only come to United States

53
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 4: when I was thirty, So you can imagine the lifespan

54
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 4: I had been in ten years.

55
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: And so I was actually going to school.

56
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 4: Majority of my life, had three master's degrees and raising

57
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 4: kids at the same time. So I was going to

58
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 4: school with them and then the whole nursing part. So

59
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 4: I was in the nursing program for two years, and

60
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 4: when it came to taking the board, I'm just like,

61
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 4: I can't do this. I can't wake up at three

62
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 4: o'clock and go go take care of people. It's just

63
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 4: not in me. I don't want to do this, so

64
00:02:59,400 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 4: I quit.

65
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: Where did you live before the United States?

66
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 4: I was actually I was born and raised in Sri Lanka,

67
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 4: and then I went to Fiji Islands. I went to

68
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 4: school in Australia for a year. I went to Fiji

69
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 4: for two years, and then I came back to Sri

70
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 4: Lanka and I became a flight attendant for ten years.

71
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 4: So I traveled a lot. I think my whole life

72
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 4: is I just love traveling. I just love waking up

73
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 4: in the morning and going somewhere. It's always been.

74
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: Me, where's your favorite Like, where's your favorite place in

75
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: the world, Like where would you consider like home where?

76
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 4: I think it's a bit that's a very tough question

77
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 4: to answer because I traveled over thirty four countries, and

78
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 4: every time I go someplace, the last time I go,

79
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 4: I said I'm going to go move there. Last my

80
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 4: last NIP was of Portugal in October. In septemb I

81
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 4: was in Barcelona, I said I'm going to move here.

82
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 4: And then August I was in Wales and Scotland and

83
00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: I said, I'm never you know, I'm going to come

84
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 4: back and live here. So I also, I'm not a tourist.

85
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 4: I just typically go go for two weeks and Brendon

86
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 4: and I just stay an experienced life. I don't try

87
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: to climb Eiffel Tower or go see historic places. I

88
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: try to immerse myself in the culture. And I wake

89
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 4: up in the morning and walk for coffee and then

90
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 4: take my laptop and sit down and work and I

91
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: write about I write about that, or I you know,

92
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 4: blog about that. But I just really like to immerse

93
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 4: myself and feel home in the case I am.

94
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 3: I feel like you travel a little bit like that.

95
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: I would say I'm pretty similar to Joe.

96
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, he really He doesn't like to do anything like

97
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 5: I would literally go on like guided tourists, like I

98
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 5: love ving a tourist. Joe is like not into it.

99
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 5: Maybe we'll go see like a museum, but you like

100
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 5: to really just like walk the city, like talk to

101
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 5: the people, find out where they eat restaurants.

102
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: And when you were in Barcelona, did you happen to

103
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: go to a restaurant called kel Pop?

104
00:04:59,080 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: I don't remember.

105
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 4: I mean I probably I actually want one day, I

106
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 4: to my daughter, I walk twenty seven thousand steps.

107
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: I walked so much.

108
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 4: I brought my comfortable shoes, bake up in the morning,

109
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 4: and I typically don't eat. I fast all throughout the day.

110
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 4: I just drink water and I just fast, and I

111
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 4: just I just take pictures and I just am constantly

112
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 4: immersing myself. I feel like it's a gift to be

113
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 4: able to like sit and enjoy. I'm less of a

114
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 4: footy but more of an immersing kind of person.

115
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 6: You know.

116
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 4: I walk with the laptop or iPod and I just

117
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 4: sit down and just I don't know, it's just a weirdo.

118
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 3: No, that's amazing.

119
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 5: I love hearing everyone's unique travel styles because everyone travels

120
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 5: so differently.

121
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 3: But we do have to get into the show.

122
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 5: So we saw you come out of the limo at

123
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 5: Night one, and I'm half Indian, so it was very

124
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 5: my mom's Indian, so it was so exciting for me

125
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 5: to see you wearing a sorry, thank you.

126
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: It was beautiful, it looked amazing.

127
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 7: Yeah.

128
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 4: I was my mom or sorry every day when I

129
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 4: was growing up, and when I became a flight students,

130
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 4: we had to wear sorry every day and that was

131
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 4: the most complicated thing. Imagine carrying a tray of juices.

132
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 2: We sorry.

133
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 5: No, I can't imagine. It's so much fabric, you're thinking.

134
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 5: So I wore a Langa tour rehearsal dinner and I

135
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 5: was showing Joe the skirt and I was like, you

136
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 5: need to lift this up because it's so heavy. But

137
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 5: what my mom and my sister wore were sorries, which

138
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 5: is the material that wraps and then.

139
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 4: Less six years of fabric six yards that you wrap

140
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 4: around twice.

141
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 3: Yep.

142
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: Wow, okay, so we we we love u. Night one.

143
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: You make it through and then you're gone, you disappear.

144
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: I did. I did.

145
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 4: I had more reasons to leave and less reasons to stay.

146
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: Okay, let's let's hear the reasons.

147
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 4: I'm a nineteen year old and I just really didn't

148
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 4: feel good about leaving her by herself in La.

149
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: In the house.

150
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 4: And then it was just like, so I told her,

151
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 4: you should go and live with your brother.

152
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: She's like, no, all my friends are here.

153
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 4: I also have school, I have work, and and then

154
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 4: like it was just it was just very calm, difficult

155
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 4: for me. And I asked many of my friends, I

156
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 4: asked my ex husband. Nobody really came through. And I said, Okay,

157
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 4: so this is it. This is I have to choose

158
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 4: between this moment. I have to choose between me and

159
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 4: finding love and really loving my daughter. And that was

160
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 4: very important. And I'm not usually like that. I'm usually

161
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 4: have everything organized and you know, I will move forward

162
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 4: and I will give my one hundred percent to something.

163
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: That's who I am.

164
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 4: But the entire time I was in the hotel, and

165
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 4: then I walked into the mansion and I'm like, oh

166
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 4: my god, this is amazing. I want to stay here,

167
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 4: but I just couldn't do it. After I got the rose.

168
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 4: I started crying. Everybody else I was so mappy. He

169
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 4: was the one he was crying after the roads, and

170
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, what is wan here?

171
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: Marina?

172
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 4: You have to because he gave you a rose, you

173
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 4: have to stay. He wanted you to stay, but I said,

174
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 4: but my heart is not in it. I can't do

175
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 4: it because my heart is not in it. It will

176
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 4: be not fair to me and would not be fair

177
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 4: to him and fair to all the other contestants because

178
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 4: I will be taking space.

179
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 5: And so what was your what was your connection like

180
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 5: with Gary when you met him and spoke with him

181
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 5: that first night.

182
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 4: I think we had a lot of comedy going on

183
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 4: because my daughter's.

184
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 2: My daughter said, Mom, he's so dope. That's the first thing.

185
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 4: Like Monday morning, when you guys brought him forward, she

186
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 4: came running to me and because Mom, he's so dope.

187
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 4: And I'm like, what is dope? I'm sixty, I don't

188
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 4: know what. Don't really means that? Literally google it. And

189
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 4: so I told that to him. I said, you know,

190
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 4: my dad, I might have something to tell you, my

191
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 4: god things that you're dope.

192
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: And then he said, yeah, my grand other thinks I'm

193
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: riz and I'm like, oh my god.

194
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 5: Riz was named like a new word, like the word

195
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 5: of twenty twenty three, which is so funny because I

196
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 5: feel like it was used quite a bit on The

197
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 5: Golden Bachelor.

198
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like charisma.

199
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 5: But like Gary had said it a few times, like

200
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 5: in settings like that.

201
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: He said that would be the first time he did.

202
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: He did, and he was like, that's me.

203
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 4: And I'm like, oh, that's me too, I said like that,

204
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 4: And so I think I think that that really broke

205
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 4: the ice, because you know, it's it's it's a it's

206
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 4: a like I don't know.

207
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: I was just like, I know, I'm different.

208
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 4: And then I I see all the other people, you know,

209
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 4: like like I feel like they were not like me.

210
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 4: And I was just walking there and i had to

211
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 4: make like all these cameras and I'm like, Okay, how

212
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 4: do I do this?

213
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 2: How do I do this? I was very shy, But

214
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: then I when I sat there, He's very warm and

215
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: very very there.

216
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, he has a presence about him, which

217
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 4: I loved, and you know, and I'm one of those

218
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 4: people who I always try to forget anything else and

219
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 4: just being there. So that was another thing that was

220
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 4: really common, and I think the cur is my part,

221
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 4: and I.

222
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: Don't know it was.

223
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 4: I wish I'd spend a little bit more time getting

224
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 4: to know him.

225
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: I wasn't in the card.

226
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: Scept I wasn't in the cards. Do you think if

227
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: if you would have stuck around, you think you would

228
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: have had a strong connection with him? Or are you

229
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: just not sure I would have?

230
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 4: You know, I was married to you know, white guy

231
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 4: for twenty two years, so I don't look at like

232
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 4: color anything like that, but I'm pretty sure I would have.

233
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 4: You know, given the opportunity, I would take home, I

234
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 4: would bring him home.

235
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 5: Do you think if you had like like a love

236
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 5: at first sight connection with him, you might have stayed

237
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 5: or was the whole thing just very overwhelming and you

238
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 5: were being you know, you felt called to go back

239
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 5: home to your daughter.

240
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 6: I think I'm a.

241
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 4: More of a practical person, you know, I'm not the loved,

242
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 4: first site person.

243
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 2: So I would evaluate a lot.

244
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 4: Of you know, a lot of the things that are

245
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 4: presented to me, and then I will weigh my pros

246
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 4: and cons. You know, very pragmatic in my life. And

247
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 4: I think it's because I came to this country as

248
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 4: an immigrant and you know, survived here for thirty years

249
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 4: by myself. I have no family. All I have in

250
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 4: my name to my family my son and my daughter.

251
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 4: I have no brothers, no sisters, So I have to

252
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 4: be pragmatic. So even if I was in love with him,

253
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 4: or if I fit this immediate connection, I would feel

254
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 4: this burden where I feel like it had to be home.

255
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: That's my first responsibility.

256
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 5: You know what convinced you to move to the United

257
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 5: States because you said you were living in Sri Lanka before.

258
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 3: Correct.

259
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 4: I came here on vacation actually for my girlfriend's birthday

260
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 4: October eighth of nineteen. What was that in nineteen ninety nine?

261
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 4: And then she said, why don't you just stayed for

262
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 4: a couple more weeks? And then I said sure. And

263
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 4: then she's like, say, we were having so much fun, you know,

264
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 4: And then I said sure. And then she said, hey,

265
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: my office, she was working for Levi's in downtown. My

266
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 4: office is looking for a receptionist. You wanted to pick

267
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 4: up a shift.

Speaker 2: I'm like really?

269
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 4: And then I started working and they would pay me,

270
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 4: and I said, okay, I'm going to stay.

271
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 3: Wow, that's awesome.

272

293
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 4: corny to say that, but like when I was married

294
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,840

299
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 4: My teacher would say, if Marina could just sit for

300
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 4: thirty minutes, she would be very successful. I cannot. I cannot.

301
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 4: I cannot see. It's very difficult. I don't know how

302

Speaker 4: I have to do master's degrees and of government just

303
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:24,920

Speaker 8: I don't know.

310
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 4: I mean I think I had evolved. When I was

311
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 4: in Kaiser working in healthcare, I was really glad I

312
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 4: had my master's in healthcare because I felt very powerful.

313
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 4: And then I started the business of my own with

317
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 4: a community college and I was writing programs, writing courses,

318
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 4: and then I said, okay, I need to get her,

319
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 4: you know, understanding. So actually I got into a doctoral program.

320
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 4: I'm two years away from finishing a doctoral degree, and

321
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 4: I said, no, I don't need the doctoral degree. I'm

322
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 4: going to go get a master's in education because to me,

323
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 4: that mate that resonated more with teaching and learning. It's

324
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 4: learning is a psychology. It's really like how we learn.

325
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 4: It's not really learning in school, but every day we're

326
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 4: learning something and that's the most beautiful thing. So I

327
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 4: think I'm more of a learner. I love to learn,

328
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 4: and I also love to teach. I also feel like

329
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 4: the student. You know, when the student is ready, the

330
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 4: teacher appears and asks me. I want to appear in

331
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 4: people's life and teach something. So that's why I am

332
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 4: so and I think I'm an educator for life.

333
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you seem like a very busy person. What

334
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: is dating life like for you right now?

335
00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: Oh?

336
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 4: I used to be on apps, but then I got

337
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 4: really tired because I think when I say sixty, what

338
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 4: shows up on apps are like sixty like older men

339
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 4: who don't keep themselves. So Joe, always keep yourself good. Okay,

340
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 4: that's really important. It's really important. Gary is our standard.

341
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 4: He raced the bar and I'm really proud. It's to

342
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 4: me that's really important. So I will date, you know,

343
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 4: every now and then. But I I mean, I have

344
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 4: friends who are ment to go out with them. I

345
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 4: know some of them want me to be their girlfriends,

346
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 4: but I just really don't think that's a good match.

347
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 4: I mean, I went to Peru with this guy, and

348
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 4: you know it at really likes me. I was in

349
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 4: Peru within brought ten days. He's like, Okay, this is something.

350
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 4: This is as far as we do.

351
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 2: Raise a hug.

352
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

353
00:16:55,400 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 4: So I don't know. I haven't really met somebody that

354
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 4: really took me to that nice place. So I don't know.

355
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 4: And I think I ask a lot. Sometimes I give

356
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 4: a lot and I ask a lot. And many men

357
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 4: in my age group are not in the place I am,

358
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 4: and neither they have to work, they can't travel, or

359
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 4: they're poor, or they're married. So that's where you really

360
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 4: dissect it. It's real hard to find people like me

361
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 4: at the age of sixty, and that's kind of a problem.

362
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 5: Well, I have a good feeling for you after the show, Marina,

404
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 8: Me and my daughter are watching this almost maybe a

405
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 8: year and a half ago, and we were watching the

406
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 8: Regular Bachelor and it came on and said, Mom, do

407
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 8: you want to get in?

408
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 7: I'm like, oh, you know what, I don't know, and

409
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 7: he says, well, let me just submit you.

410
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 8: I said it would be really rare that you know

411
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 8: that I'll get cold, but.

412
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 7: Let's do it. And that's how I ended up.

413
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 2: Getting on there.

414
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: Wow. So you get there night one, out of the limo?

415
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: What's going on? What do you think? In what's probably.

416
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 5: Way my first before before we get a little How

417
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 5: did you pick your dress? Because it was so gorgeous

418
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 5: you were in like that gold dress. You look like

419
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 5: you were an Oscar trophy?

420
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: How did you pick that?

421
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 7: You know what?

422
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 8: I ended up going to LA and I'm thinking, you

423
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 8: know what, I'm going to find me a gold dress

424
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 8: and only reason why is.

425
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 7: Because it's the Golden Bachelor.

426
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 8: So when I got the dress, I ended up doing

427
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 8: a lot of I cut the train. It was really long,

428
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 8: and that's all I did. But I told my daughter,

429
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,479
Speaker 8: I said, you know, everybody's going to be with gold.

430
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 8: I think I should have just picked another dress. So,

431
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 8: by my surprise, I was the only one in gold.

432
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 3: I know you, I feel like it's not fair.

433
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: It is surprising, though.

434
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 5: It is, but I feel like gold dresses are not

435
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 5: very common, you know, like you would have to be

436
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 5: specifically looking for a gold dress to find one.

437
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 3: I don't know anyone that just like has one in

438
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 3: their closet.

439
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're right, You're right.

440
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 8: I just figure the Golden Bachelor, you know gold. Yeah,

441
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 8: that's why I came on my mind. So that's why

442
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 8: I got the gold dress. And I was so I

443
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 8: was kind of surprised, and I was happy that I

444
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 8: was the only one.

445
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then you had your amazing interest to go

446
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 5: with it, the gold Convetti Cannon, you are the very

447
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 5: very first person.

448
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 3: Out of the level this season. How did that feel?

449
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 8: You know what? I was pretty surprised that I was

450
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 8: going to be the first, and I was so nervous.

451
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 8: I just I didn't want to get out of the limo,

452
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 8: but I was like, I have to do it. And

453
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 8: when I went out and I looked at Gary, he

454
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 8: gave me that little smile and I kind of blushed,

455
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 8: and I'm like, okay, I gotta be okay.

456
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: So when you you talked to Gary that in that

457
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: first you know, that first moment, do you feel a spark?

458
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: Is he is he your type?

459
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 2: You don't want?

460
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 8: I when I got to see him, I liked him

461
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 8: right away. I love Yeah, I love his beautiful blue eyes.

462
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 8: And I felt like he was really really nice man

463
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 8: and very you know, like I can I say very

464
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 8: sincere man, And so that kind of made me ease.

465
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 8: I wasn't really you know in that minute thinking about

466
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 8: oh am I attracted to him?

467
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 7: No, I was so much. I was so.

468
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 8: Nervous for being the first one being out there that

469
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 8: I didn't even think about that.

470
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 7: I was just so happy that he was so nice

471
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 7: to me.

472
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, that that first night is overwhelming, and

473
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: I can't imagine being the first person to go.

498

00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 8: feel like, Okay, we you know, we like each other,

522
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 8: but I don't have like a specific guy out there.

523
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: Are you dating right now? Are you? Are you out there?

524
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:47,880

00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 7: Not yet.

527
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 8: I am a little bit slow because I have so

528
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 8: many things going on with me and my daughter just

529
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 8: left with my grandson and I've just been so busy

530
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 8: with them. But I I said that in the beginning

531
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 8: of the year, I'm going on the dating apps. I

532
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 8: don't like them, I never really did, but I think

533
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 8: I'm going to do that.

534
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 5: Yes, I feel like no one likes dating apps until

535
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 5: even like if it works.

536
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 3: I bumped the bike.

537
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 5: Like, I have friends that found boyfriends and relationships through

538
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 5: the dating apps, and if they become single again, they're like, oh,

539
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 5: I don't want to go back on the dating apps.

540
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 3: Like they they could work, but they're exhausted.

541
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 7: You know what, You're right. You know, my daughter and

542
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 7: my son in law they met on an app. So

543
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 7: I'm like, you know, I know.

544
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 3: It works, So you know, yeah, they do work.

545
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, the work. They're married and I have a beautiful,

546
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 8: handsome grandson, so it's amazing.

547
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: Okay, so your time on the show, Who did you

548
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: think while you were there? Had the strongest connection with Gary?

549
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 8: I have to say the strongest connection and that I

550
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 8: felt is with Teresa.

551
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 7: The look looking at her eyes, I.

552
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,239
Speaker 8: Could just see stars going off in her heart and

553
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 8: just and I'm like, oh my god, she's head.

554
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 6: Over heels for him.

555
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: And then what are your what are your thoughts on

556
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: Leslie going home the way she did?

557
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 2: You know what?

558
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 7: I feel?

559
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 8: I feel terrible for her, you know, because she had

560
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 8: her heartbroken. But in my heart, I somehow I just

561
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 8: felt that the connection was going to.

562
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 7: Be with Teresa. I had it in my heart.

563
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 8: And it kind of like I thought for a minute,

564
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 8: maybe this lastly, but you know I was always right

565
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 8: in the beginning.

566
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 7: It was Teresa.

567
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I feel bad for her, and I feel

568
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 8: terrible for her. But you know what is whatever the

569
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 8: heart chooses, you know, and you have to just accept that,

570
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 8: and you know it wasn't meant for you.

571
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 7: That's how I see it.

572
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 5: So, Edith, we have seen an amazing response to the show.

573
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 5: Viewers have really fallen in love with the Golden Bachelor.

574
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 5: What do you think it is about the show that

575
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 5: is connected with so many viewers.

576
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 8: I think we finally gave the world out there that

577
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 8: on my age, I want to look for love, I

578
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 8: want to fall in love, and we don't have that

579
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 8: much of like you know, like we already have kids, grandkids,

580
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 8: you know, we've been married before, you know, divorced. So

581
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 8: I think at our age, a lot of people they

582
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 8: think even if you know, even have to say even

583
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 8: my you know, my kids, they you know, well they

584
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 8: think it's it's.

585
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 7: It at all. But no, my heart still thinks, like

586
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 7: you know.

587
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 8: Like a regular heart doesn't know the age. That's how

588
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 8: I you know, I'm trying to describe it. So at

589
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 8: my age, you know, we have so many things going

590
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 8: for us, and it will be nice to meet somebody

591
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 8: else and share these last twenty years that we have

592
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,959
Speaker 8: or maybe more. I don't know, but I wanted the

593
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 8: world to know that it's okay at our age to

594
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,479
Speaker 8: date and find love, and a lot of people and

595
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 8: my age, they don't think that way, and I want

596
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 8: to show them that you could and it's out there.

597
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 5: You know what I loved about the show, Edith? Did

598
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 5: you watch the show before you went on it? You

599
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 5: watched a few seasons of yes?

600
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 7: Yes.

601
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 5: I feel like The Golden Batcher obviously is so different

602
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 5: because you guys are in your later years of life

603
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 5: and you've experienced so much more life in the stories

604
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 5: that you have to share different, But watching Gary fall

605
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 5: in love and watching the women fall in love with

606
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:43,239
Speaker 5: Gary was so familiar and similar to watching you know,

607
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,479
Speaker 5: thirty year old leads fall in love with their people,

608
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 5: and like, I don't know, it just kind of goes

609
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 5: to show that like love doesn't have an age, falling

610
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 5: in love doesn't have an age, and like people I don't.

611
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 3: Know, do you know what I mean?

612
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 5: Like following I have it seventy is like really, it's

613
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 5: so the same is falling in love at thirty.

614
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 8: I agree with you because my heart still wants to

615
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 8: fall in love.

616
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 7: You know. But my mind is saying, well, you're older,

617
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 7: you know, you're okay. Do you need it?

618
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 4: No?

619
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 8: I don't need it because I'm in love with everything.

620
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 8: But that would be something like more to bring to

621
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 8: my heart, more joy, more of the partner, to wake

622
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 8: up in the morning, and to make our coffee, and

623
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 8: to go on vacations. I think the heart and the

624
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 8: mind are not really like together. I think the heart

625
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 8: is still thinks that you know, it's young and it

626
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 8: wants love.

627
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 7: Yeah.

628
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, before before we let you go, what is

629
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: What is something that you're looking for in a man?

630
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 8: Sincerity, somebody who loves to go out.

631
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 7: I love to travel, have fun, go to the beach,

632
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 7: you know.

633

Speaker 8: Make me laugh, you know, just somebody and enjoyable and

634
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 8: funny and it doesn't matter.

635
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 7: And the looks, you know, it's more. What is inside

636
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 7: is hard?

637
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 5: And I have to ask last question, I promise, what

638
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 5: is your beauty secrets?

639
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 2: Edith?

640
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 5: You look amazing, your hair is gorgeous, your skid what

641
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 5: are you doing to keep yourself looking so good?

642
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 7: I don't like bulltos because my wrinkles are my age

643
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 7: and that's what you botox.

644
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 8: No, I barely got bulltox going back to the entry

645
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 8: into the.

646
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 7: Golden Bachelor, and it's only on my on my eyebrows.

647
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 3: That's it.

648
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 7: The only reason because it freezes my eyes.

649
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 8: I never liked that, so it was years that I

650
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 8: didn't use it, but I ended up getting a little bit.

651
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 8: But what I like for my face is to get

652
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 8: the flaxtern or yeah, flacks turner. It's a laser. It

653
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 8: kind of like tightens up your skin and all that.

654
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 8: And I only could do it once a year because

655
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 8: it's so painful.

656
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 7: And that's all I do. Yeah, and just natural everything

657
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 7: on my creams. I make them my own, you know.

658
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 8: I like the the olive, the Olivera.

659
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 7: I add Olivera. I love to add.

660
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 8: Coco rosemary. There's so many naturals. I take off my

661
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 8: makeup with OLIVERA. I take it off with olive oil too,

662
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 8: or you know, but I try to go as natural

663
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 8: as I can.

664
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:30,760

680
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 5: big story with the franchise, having been the mom of

681
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 5: a past Bachelor and then now part of the Golden

682
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 5: Bachelor yourself.

683
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 3: So we've lost to chat about today.

684
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 6: Well, I'm really honestly, it's bittersweet because I have a

685
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 6: bit of a I'm like mad and angry, but at

686
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 6: the same time, you know, anybody would be. I'm embarrassed.

687
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 6: I'm humiliated. You know, I got invited to be on

688
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 6: the show. I'm there the first night. I don't really

689
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 6: get to meet the bachelor that well, because you know

690
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 6: the limo, you don't really get to know anybody. And

691
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 6: then my little time on the couch at five o'clock

692
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 6: in the morning, and then I got sent home, So

693
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 6: you know, there's that, and I feel like I really

694
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 6: watched the show. I wasn't really on the show, and

695
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 6: I guess Joe you might understand part of that. But

696
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 6: you know, it's not my favorite thing, and it is

697
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 6: humiliating and embarrassing. But besides that, I'm got some nice people.

698
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, you're talking, you're talking to someone

699
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 5: who also went home night wine. That can relate a

700
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 5: little bit to your journey.

701
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. Yeah, it is, it is.

702
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 4: It is.

703
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: You know, you don't have anything to to feel humiliated

704
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: about because you looked great, but it is it's tough,

705
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: like going home that first night, and I get it,

706
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: like you put yourself out there. There's there's so much

707
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: hype around it, and and then you go home and

708
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: it's just like, oh, just you just you feel you're

709
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: just so disappointed. So I get it.

710
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 6: It is.

711
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: It is rough. But let's let's touch on. How how

712
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: did you get How did you get on?

713
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 6: How did I get on?

714
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: Yeah?

715
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 6: I mean probably because Matt, you know adult, I don't think.

716
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 6: I mean, I doubt if I were one of thirty

717
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 6: six thousand applying. I don't know if I was the right,

718
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 6: you know, prototype that they want. I'm a little older,

719
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 6: I you know, I don't know that I felt like

720
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 6: I identified as much with everybody I had applied like

721
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 6: three years before, like some people had never heard a thing.

722
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 6: And I figured it may not happen because I've been

723
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 6: excited about the building Bachelor for years, and you know,

724
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 6: I've been working all my life and I haven't and

725
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 6: raising John and Matt and haven't really been able to date.

726
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 6: And then to be at seventy and to find quality men,

727
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 6: it's so so hard. And I feel like I'm all

728
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 6: over the place because I'm in my church, I'm a salesperson,

729
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 6: I'm in the grocery store. I mean I'm in all

730
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 6: the slots and have I met anybody. No. And I thought, well,

731
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 6: maybe this pool, you know, I could. They're gonna interview

732
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 6: people from all over and so I was really hopeful. So,

733
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 6: you know, it just it just wasn't God's plan, I guess.

734
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 6: So it's just interesting. And honestly, I am very spiritual.

735
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 6: My faith is the most important part of my life.

736
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 6: And I thought maybe I have this as an idol,

737
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 6: you know, and I was putting too much on this

738
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 6: and the Lord nixed it. It's like, Patty, yeah that's

739
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 6: he let me go and he gave me that, and

740
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 6: then it was like no that really you see, not

741
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 6: all the glitters is gold. It wasn't for you. So

742
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 6: I want to meet somebody you are.

743
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 3: It just wasn't Gary. Gary just wasn't your guy. But

744
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,720
Speaker 3: that doesn't mean that your guys not out there, Patty.

745
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 5: I have to add, So you said that you applied

746
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 5: for the Golden Bacheler about three years go. What is

747
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 5: the timeline with you applying for Golden Bachelor and then

748
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 5: Matt applying to be on the Bachelorette.

749
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 6: Okay, so way after so Matt until Matt, I've been

750
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 6: a Bachelor fan from get go. When the original Bachelor

751
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 6: show came out, I'm a hopeless sermonic. I love love shows,

752
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 6: and the Bachelor's always be my favorite, The Bachelor and

753
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 6: the Bachelorette, and I really love Bachelor in Paradise. So

754
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 6: I've been a watcher. So then when Tyler got on

755
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 6: and he was Matt's you know, good friend, and then

756
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 6: Matt got on and I'm like, yeah this maybe I

757
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 6: can get on. So that was right after that.

758
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 5: Okay, so it was after he was the Bachelor that

759
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 5: you were like, I'm going to give this a shot.

760
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 3: You know, worked for him, maybe it can work for me.

761
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I would have done it before.

762
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 3: I would. This is only the first season. There's more

763
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 3: to compatty, so maybe I don't.

764
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 5: Know if they asked you, if they asked you to

765
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 5: go back, if they had another bachelor and they were like,

766
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 5: we really think you might hit it off with this guy.

767
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 5: You know, Gary wasn't for you, but we see there

768
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 5: might be something here. Would you ever go back on?

769
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 6: I would never go back on as part of the harem.

770
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 6: I would as maybe the bachelorette.

771
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 3: Okay, what if there was a golden Bachelor in Paradise?

772
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 3: Would you go? And there was lots of women and

773
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 3: lots of men?

774
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 6: I know that's a good question, Serena. I don't know.

775
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 6: Were you you that's when you met Joe?

776
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, we met on Paradise.

777
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: I will say Paradise and some For someone like me

778
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: who did not farewell on the actual show, Paradise is

779
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: is much easier because there's just more options and it's

780
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: a more relaxed setting opposed to that first night is

781
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: just so overwhelming and so hectic. So like me, I

782
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: am pro pro paradise.

783
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, why wouldn't you be. You know, you've had

784
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,360

785
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 6: I I mean, Serena. Yeah, I think I would be

00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 6: prepared ice to Joe. But I am This is the

787
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,959
Speaker 6: other thing. I am kind of quiet. I'm a little

788
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 6: bit shy. Even though I've been in sales all my life,

789
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 6: one on one, I'm not as much and I'm in sales.

790
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 6: If I have a goal and I need to sell

791
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 6: you on something, I'm all in. But that's professional. But

792
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 6: personally I'm kind of quiet and shy until I get

793
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 6: to know you. So I'm not going to be that

794
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 6: traumatic person doing all that stuff. So I don't know

795
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 6: if i'd make good TV. Did you I had to

796
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 6: come to that fact.

797
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: Did you have an issue with the cameras? Because I know,

798
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: for for me from my experience, like I had real

799
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: bad stage frights, so whenever a camera was in my

800
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 1: face at the beginning of my journey, like I really struggled,

801
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: Like I really had a hard time even holding a

802
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: conversation in front of the camera.

803
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, Joe, I might have and not even realized it

804
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 6: now that you mention it, I might have been because

805
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 6: I am more spontaneous. I don't know. I have to

806
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 6: think about that.

807
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: That's a good point, yeah, because because it could be.

808
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: It just it it feels like, you know, invasive, and

809
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: it's it's it's.

810
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 5: If you're a more like introverted personality, like Joe is

811
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 5: a bit more of an introvert Patty. You said that

812
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 5: in a private setting, like you're a little bit more reserved.

813
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 5: It does feel Yeah, I guess invasive is a strong word,

814
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,280
Speaker 5: but definitely it's overwhelming to have a lot of people

815
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 5: watching your conversation and cameras around you, watching your conversation

816
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 5: and recording your conversations.

817
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 3: So yeah, do you think maybe looking back, that had

818
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 3: an impact on you at all?

819
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 6: Well, I'm self conscious, you know, yes, So that means

820
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 6: to me, like if I feel like I'm being watched,

821
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 6: it makes me nervous. So you know that could be

822
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:02,919
Speaker 6: a really good point.

823
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is nerve wracking.

824
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 5: It's a lot, it's it's a whole new world when

825
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 5: you enter that house. We have to ask because obviously

826
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 5: your son was the Bachelor and he found love on

827
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 5: the show. Did Rachel and Mack give you any like

828
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 5: tips or advice going to the show.

829
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 6: I think they they were all in to begin with

830
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 6: and they were saying be yourself. They would question if

831
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 6: I wanted to get back involved in it and probably

832
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 6: think I'm a lunatic, like if I went on Bachelor

833
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 6: in Paradise or exposed myself to more of it. So

834
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 6: now I get conflicted, like, you know, what do I do?

835
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 6: Am I a fool to go back on it and

836
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 6: expose myself? And what if my families are not exactly

837
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 6: happy about it? I mean, it's a thing, you know,

838
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 6: I don't know.

839
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: I think I think when it comes to that, like

840
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 1: you know, if the if the moment presents itself, it's

841
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 1: like one of those things you just got to trust

842
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: your gut and however you feel about it, that's what

843
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: you should do.

844
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, And if they saw, you know, you came off

845
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 5: night one, you had a hard time, they're probably just

846
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 5: feeling like protective over you, right.

847
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, probably. But you know, I want Liam Neeson

848
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 6: to be the bachelor in my bachelorette thing. He I

849
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 6: want him to be in the group, but he would

850
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 6: probably have to be the bachelor himself. But then I

851
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 6: don't know if, because you know he's.

852
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 3: A patty, you would have to go back on for

853
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 3: Liam Neeson? Are you kidding me? You'd have to Liam Neeson?

854
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 3: Anyone's going back on for Liam neesaid?

855
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 6: You know I think he's available?

856
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 3: Is he was? He married to Natasha Richardson, didn't you pass?

857
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 2: Yes?

858
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 6: And actually when I saw the side of Gary in

859
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 6: the back when they first like tease us with it

860
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 6: or like, oh that looks like me, Liam, and like

861
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 6: I was like checking him Liam out and seeing if

862
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 6: I thought it was and I was like, maybe, yes,

863
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 6: that would.

864
00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 3: Be so cool. We're watching Love Actually tonight, which is.

865
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've been watching everything Liam Nisan the Commuter. Last

866
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 6: night I watched that That's.

867
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 3: A little weird Commuter. I don't know if I've seen

868
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 3: that one.

869
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I haven't seen that either, and they're featuring it,

870
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 6: so oh okay, but anything with him then I really

871
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 6: love it.

872
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 5: But anyway, so is he your type then or do

873
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 5: you have a type when it comes to guys that

874
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 5: you're dating and looking for.

875
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 6: He's definitely my type. And I guess my type, Serena

876
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 6: is just somebody that's male, macho, takes care of themselves.

877
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 6: And when I say macho, I don't mean male chauvinists.

878
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 6: I mean, you know manly. They're fit. You know, they

879
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 6: take care of themselves. They're healthy, and they care about

880
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 6: that stuff. They're interesting, they're smart, they're funny, all the

881
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 6: good stuff that we women try to be for our man.

882
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 6: You know, you try to do those things. And I

883
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 6: just feel like at my age, at seventy, a lot

884
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 6: of the men just I don't know, it, just don't

885
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 6: doesn't seem like they're as conscious of those things or

886
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 6: care or they don't Maybe they don't realize that they're

887
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 6: not those things. I don't know. What do you think, Joe?

888
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: Am I wrong? I know I don't think you're wrong.

Speaker 6: try to eat right, Like that's the one thing that's

897
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 6: easiest for me to control.

898
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 4: Do.

899
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 6: I love food? I mean whole I'm a foodie. I'm

900
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 6: Matt's mom. I love eating. I love food, all of it.

901
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 6: So I I go off, you know, I'll have my

00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 6: weekend off and I'll just really good nuts. I love sweets,

903
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 6: like pizza, like pasta.

904
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 7: I love it all.

905
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Matt basically running close to

906
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 1: a sub three for the marathon Joe Marathon, So, oh

907
00:43:58,440 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: my gosh.

908
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 6: You were in New York's. Yeah, I think I did.

909
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I ran it as well, but I didn't. I didn't.

910
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: I ran right around a little under the four hour mark.

911
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 1: But he he really he ran that thing fast.

912
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 6: Now, listen, Joe, he took it seriously. He ran it

913
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 6: the year before and didn't train. So he did really well.

914
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 6: And then you come to that place where I forget

915
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 6: what they call it, but he gave out. His legs

916
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 6: gave out. He practically, like I think a mile from

917
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 6: the finish line, he practically had to be carried in.

918
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 6: And he was like, I'm not doing that again, you know,

919
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 6: he because it meant a lot to him. He's a competitor,

920
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 6: you know. And so the next year, this whole year

921
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 6: prior to this, he got a trainer, and he was

922
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 6: diligent and he was a fanatic. Yeah, I mean he

923
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 6: did it the way she said, you know, Matt's he

924
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,959
Speaker 6: thinks he knows, and so she was listening and doing

925
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 6: things that she told him to do, and he said

926
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 6: it made all the difference. It made all the differentference,

927
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 6: the eating, the intervals, and just different ways that you

928
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 6: train that you wouldn't think. So that's I'm proud of him.

929
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:12,280
Speaker 6: But he worked a year for it, So you did great.

930
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 1: I mean, does he get that work ethic from you?

931
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 6: I am pretty focused and when I have a goal,

932
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 6: you know, in sales, I've been in commissions most of

933
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,320
Speaker 6: my life. And if you don't have a goal and

934
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 6: you're not oriented and you don't set that discipline to

935
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 6: achieve it, you don't get it. And then raising John

936
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 6: and Matt, I had to be focused by myself, a

937
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 6: single parent, two very active boys doing sports all over

938
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 6: the place. You know, when you think of some of

939
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 6: the things you did, I would drive from Raleigh to

940
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 6: Greensboro and back to a practice and back to Greensboro,

941
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 6: which is like an hour and a half. Just crazy

942
00:45:55,320 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 6: stuff you did for your children, Then maybe I guess,

943
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 6: you know, I'm pretty goal oriented and focused, but I

944
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 6: haven't really been like athletically out there playing tennis every

945
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 6: day or doing this and that.

946
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 5: But you're not running marathons, which is okay because neither

947
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 5: am I. We can watch from the sideline.

948
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: So what is So what's next for you? And are

949
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,399
Speaker 1: you are you actively dating or what are you doing

950
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,439
Speaker 1: anything to put yourself out there.

951
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 6: I'm not actively dating. You know, you got to probably

952
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 6: like me because you find time is money, time is everything,

953
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 6: and it's the one thing that I value more than anything.

954
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 6: You don't get it back, and the older you get,

955
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 6: the quicker it's going. So I really don't like to

956
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 6: waste my time. And I haven't been on the social

957
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 6: media dating, the online dating. I'm not ever going to

958
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 6: do that. I haven't done it for years because it's

959
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 6: been negative for me.

960
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 4: And so.

961
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,800
Speaker 6: Ultimately, the Lord knows my heart. He can do anything

962
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 6: if he wants me to meet my person. It's a

963
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 6: miracle to fall in love, as you guys know, I

964
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 6: mean the chemistry that everything has to mesh. Yeah, and

965
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:19,479
Speaker 6: at my age for those things to come together, it's

966
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 6: just it's a miracle. So I would love for that

967
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 6: to happen. So I'm going to try to have it

968
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 6: done organically. I'm gonna be prayerical. I'm going to try

969
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 6: to keep myself the way I would want my man

970
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 6: to keep him that I would want, you know, be

971
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 6: that person for him that I want. So that's kind

972
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:36,320
Speaker 6: of what I'm.

973
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:36,640
