28
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: was not a thing you wanted. And I was like, yeah,

29
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: if there's an open seat, please consider me, because I

30

31
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,960

33
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

34
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 4: Oh, I've said the same thing. I say.

35
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 3: So this is my big thing has been and this

36
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 3: is I've said this since day one. Age appropriate casting are.

37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 3: My biggest fear of this show was that they were

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: going to have seventy year old Gary and they were

39
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 3: going to cast a thirty nine year old fifty one

40
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: year old just to get this drama that they want

41
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 3: to manufacture. I loved that that was not what happened.

42
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 3: This year. We're watching the show, I'm seeing absolutely stunning

43
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: beautiful women who are age appropriate as our NAXT guest.

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 3: But it was just lovely to see it, and it

45
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 3: was like, it wasn't the bullshit, no drama that you

46
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 3: see when you're seeing a lot of these shows.

47
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 5: Do you know what I love really nice?

48
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 4: It's I can more relate to you guys and your

49
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 4: plight to find love again than I can to the

50
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 4: twenty six year olds who and it's nothing. It's nothing

51
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 4: against them. I honestly feel like everyone deserves love, but

52
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 4: for me personally, and I feel like a lot of

53
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 4: people around the country, we relate to the fact that,

54
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 4: you know, maybe we don't have a relationship currently, and

55
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 4: we've lived life, and.

56
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: We know who we are that we've lived life, so

57
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: we had like these huge backstories.

58
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 5: So like the book, yeah, like is like we're over

59
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 5: that you don't like, are.

60
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: Like we've had happen now, okay, so like we've you know,

61
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: we've lost our spouses and we the women have been

62
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: divorced when lady husband had committed suicide. We have kids

63
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: who have gone through I had a daughter who was

64
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: home the reason I left. She had just had a baby,

65
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: she was suffering terrible postpartner depression like that those bullsh

66
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: things like you like you looked at me wrong, like

67
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: that stuff was not happening in our season. And we

68
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: kind of agreed on that right in the beginning. We

69
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: kind of came together. The first time we met, we

70
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: were like, okay, I too, Like my tribe is here.

71
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: I finally found like going through life, going through trying

72
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: to find love when you're in your sixties and seventies sucks.

73
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 5: It's not fun. It doesn't happen organically. You have to

74
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 5: make an effort.

75
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: It's kind of demeaning a little bit being out there,

76
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: being in this age and looking for love.

77
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 5: And like I walked into a room and I found

78
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 5: like my tribe.

79
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were twenty two or twenty one other people

80
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: like going on the same journey as me.

81
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 5: And it felt so comforting to have like all.

82
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: These people that I could talk to and like kind

83
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: of learn from, because like I didn't know.

84
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 5: How to do this. I had no idea.

85
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: My husband had passed away, it'll be almost three years now.

86
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: At the time when I applied for this, it was.

87
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 5: Only two years.

88
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: I hadn't really like gone into the dating game yet,

89
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: and I didn't really know how to do it.

90
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 5: And I learned so much from these women.

91
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: And they give you so much confidence, Like you gained

92
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: the confidence that they have to go out there and

93
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: like like you deserve it. They made me feel like

94
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: we deserve it. I mean that was kind of the

95
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: whole message from this season.

96
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 5: There was hope, Like I love that I have hope.

97
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 4: So Joe.

98
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: I've always had this thing about the Bachelor, which I've

99
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: said for many years, and it's you know, it's it's

100
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 3: been a thing. Maybe it's just to take the piss

101
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 3: out of myself a little bit, but I've always said, like,

102
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 3: you know, when you look at the show The Bachelor,

103
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 3: it's not about the guy. It really isn't. And you know,

104
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 3: I think you probably know what I'm a say, cause

105
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: I've said it to you a million times. But people

106
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 3: always will say, like, what's your advice for the next Bachelor,

107
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 3: And I'll say, well, my advice is it's not about you, right,

108
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: It's about a bunch of women who have never in this.

109
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: I got to say, to be honest, I don't think

110
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: it applies for this for the Golden Bachelor, But in

111
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: the past I've always kind of taken the piss out

112
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 3: of myself and saying like, it doesn't matter about the guy.

113
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: It matters about a bunch of women who are overachievers,

114
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: who have done amazing things in their lives and they

115
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: don't you know, see themselves coming in second place to anything.

116
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 3: But watching this season made me rethink this a lot,

117
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 3: because I've always sort of had this dismissive mindset with it,

118
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 3: and I hate to admit it, but it's kind of true.

119
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 3: And watching this season, I saw like genuine friendships and

120
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: genuine personalities blossom throughout the course of the show. And

121
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 3: you all are beautiful and intelligent and you know, accomplished

122
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 3: people who have reached this milestone and in your life,

123
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: and you're also kind of at this point where it's like,

124
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 3: what's next for me? And so was Gary? What was

125
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: next for you? I mean, was that was where you

126
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 3: were going with this?

127
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 5: It's certainly a possibility.

128
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I obviously knew that there were twenty two

129
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: of us and only one was going to go home

130
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: with him, so twenty one people weren't. I was very

131
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: open to the process of like, I didn't want him

132
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: to pick me as like a default or because you know,

133
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: he didn't have dates with other people. I wanted him

134
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: to go and explore a relationship with every single other

135
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: person and then if he picked me in the end,

136
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: then that was great, or if I picked him in

137
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: the end I mean, really, it's a two way street.

138
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to pick him too.

139
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 5: And you know, like we're not like.

140
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: The young girls they're looking for, you know, fathers. You know,

141
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: they have biological clocks.

142
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 5: We don't have that.

143
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: I'm not looking for a husband that's a good provider.

144
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: I have my own money. I'm not looking for somebody

145
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: who's going to be a good father. My kids are

146
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: all grown. I was looking for a true companion. So

147
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: I have like kind of different things that I'm looking for,

148
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: and I think the same is true, you know, for him.

149
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: So he had I mean really twenty two really kind

150
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: of different but interesting women that he could have chosen from.

151
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: He needed to pick the person that was best for him.

152
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: And I didn't know if that was me. But I

153
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: could have been me.

154
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 5: I don't know.

155
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: I didn't My journey ended released, you know, kind of

156
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: pretty pretty quickly, so it could have been me.

157
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 5: And I went there. I went.

158
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: I came here thinking that I was of hosibility, right,

159
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: And now it's a two way street and it's not

160
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: just him picking me, but it's me picking him. And

161
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: it's same, you know, with all the women like Nancy

162
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: left on her own, I left on my own. You know,

163
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: some people left on their own because like maybe he

164
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: wasn't the perfect match.

165
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 5: So that's all right. It was okay, it's a two

166
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 5: way street.

167
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: There's so much here that we're going to get into.

168
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: But was there any point in your experience where you

169
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: did think, hey, maybe this isn't right for Gary and myself.

170
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: So I'm sure, as you all all know, because you've

171
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: done this, you in the beginning, you have very small

172
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: little nippets of time with the person, so like you'll

173
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: have like two minutes or five minutes, and they're they're quick,

174
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: so you have like kind of like superficial conversations with them.

175
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: I fortunately got a date with him, and so after

176
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: the talent show, I had a date and we had

177
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: one of those epic dates where you go on a

178
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: yacht and there's a lot of hubbub. We had like

179
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: a regular old, boring date where you go and you

180
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,119
Speaker 1: sit down at a table and you have dinner. Of course,

181
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: as you know, you can't eat, so you sit there at.

182
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, the food smells so good. It was just such

183
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 5: a smell delicious. I was starving.

184
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 4: Now.

185
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: That probably is the most common question that I still

186
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: get asked is why don't you eat the food? So

187
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: when you're an og, the food is brought out, you

188
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: ate it. You had a great date, normal people, normal people.

189
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: When I was on the show as the Bachelor, the

190
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 2: food would be beautiful, but it had been sitting out

191
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: for three hours, right, so they had plated it the

192
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: lobsters and the whatever first allergist lobster. So I was

193
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 2: never eating that'sfish guy, Yeah, fish guy, but too, it

194
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: has been sitting out forever. Yeah, so we never ate.

195
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 2: I ate in between dates.

196
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did, so they fed me before I went

197
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: on the date. But I like, I sat down and

198
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: it was an ars smelled good, so ours was kind

199
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: of it came from an Italian restaurant right next door,

200
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: so it was like smelling good, it was warm. They

201
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: sat us down. I want to eat it so badly,

202
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: but we couldn't. But it was okay. So we had

203
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: this like actually really good conversation. It was like a

204
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: normal date where you sit there for like three hours

205
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: and you just talk about life. And we had a

206
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: really really good conversation. And at that point I thought, like,

207
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, I could see myself with him.

208
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 5: Possibly. I knew we had like a kind of a

209
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 5: big age difference. So I'm sixty. He had just turned

210
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 5: seventy two. Okay, so that's like a big age difference.

211
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 5: So I was still my wife and.

212
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 3: I call that a Thursday.

213
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 6: Already said that tonight thirteen years right, so you know,

214
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 6: all right, a right, sorry, Well I that a Tuesday, Tuesday,

215
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 6: And so things can work, obviously, you know they can work.

216
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: In certainly at this age, I think that it's more

217
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: likely to work because like you don't have to worry

218
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: about having kids and.

219
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 5: You know, biological yeah, that kind of crap.

220
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: So I did see for the first time actually in

221
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: my dating since my husband passed, I.

222
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 5: Kind of felt like I saw a future with somebody.

223
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: I did feel like he was a really good guy

224
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: and we had a lot in common, and the conversation

225
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: was super easy and flowed and like we had, you know,

226
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: conversations and you and you probably realized this that you

227
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: have these important conversations. You don't just talk about crap

228
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: because yeah, you're making you're both making a decision in

229
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: thirty days. Yeah, you can't talk about like you know,

230
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: what your dog's names, you talk about the weather.

231
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 5: You have to talk about like would you ever move

232
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 5: to my hometown or where do you picture yourself living.

233
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, you jump automatically to the stuff you have.

234
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 5: To do, big station. So we had those conversations.

235
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 3: That's important.

236
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I felt like I never felt like he

237
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 5: wasn't a good match for me. But my journey ended

238
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 5: so quickly that I don't think I ever got to

239
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 5: the point either way. I never got to like be

240
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 5: all invested or not invested. It was like in limbo

241
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 5: and then it was over.

242
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 4: And I have to say I went. I walked up

243
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 4: to Joan tonight and said, I was so inspired in

244
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 4: a way because watching her leave the show because she

245
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 4: needed to, you know, be there for her daughter. Just

246
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 4: it is how I feel like I would hope I

247
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 4: would have reacted, you know, or would react if that

248
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 4: were my situation. But I think that you know your

249
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 4: value system I really respect and anyway, Yeah, so I

250
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 4: appreciated you.

251
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 5: You would have left because because.

252
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 4: That's what we do. We talked about it.

253
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 3: That's all we do is I.

254
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: Didn't even get the thing twice, and I feel I

255
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: feel kind of bad that I'm getting credit for this.

256
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 4: People.

257
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 5: You're such a good mom, right, I feel like, yeah, everything,

258
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 5: but you have to.

259
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 4: Give yourself credit, because honestly, there are people out there

260
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 4: that are not good moms and they wouldn't do that.

261
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 4: You need to give yourself credit.

262
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 5: It's true.

263
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,599
Speaker 1: So I have gotten some you know, as you know,

264
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: you get a lot of messages from people I'm strangers,

265
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: and a lot of them is like, oh my god,

266
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: you're such a good mom, and I answered, oh, you know,

267
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: super thank you.

268
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

269
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 1: But then I get a message every once in a

270
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: while and not rarely, honestly, that my mom was not

271
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: there for me when I had and I had this depression,

272
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: and my heart goes out with them, out for them,

273
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, they were really ripped off

274
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: in the mom category because that's not right, and you know,

275
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: that was a lousy mom. So all of us good

276
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: or decent moms would do that, and the crappy moms didn't,

277
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: and that's they got, you know, feel bad for them.

278
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do some different I want to dive into Joan.

279
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,120
