Speaker 2: So, you're glowing amazing.

00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 4: The relief is overwhelming. You not have to hold in

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 4: a secret of this size for another minute is fantastic.

12
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 2: I have to tell you. I didn't even tell my sisters,

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: and they've been dying this entire time, and it was

14
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: going back and forth between oh, no, you were kind

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: of sad when you came back, So I think it's

16
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: a now. Oh but then I think you got all

17
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: these clothes. I think it's a yes. I think it's

18
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: a now Teresa telling me and I wouldn't tell them.

19
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: So did you tell your daughter?

20
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 5: Oh?

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, my daughter and my son in law and the

22
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 2: three boys knew and they kept the secret this entire time,

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: and my son and his wife.

24
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 3: But it's going to be so exciting, It's must be

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 3: so exciting now that they know, and not only them,

26
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 3: but all of the viewers, everyone watching. I remember that

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 3: was like the best feeling when our finale was done.

28
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 3: It's like just a weight off your shoulders.

29
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, Yeah, that's the way I felt. I know

30
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 5: that it's like a whole new chapter. You don't have

31
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 5: to hide, you don't have to couch. Everything you say

32
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 5: it's out there so you can enjoy yourself.

33
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: Get ready, you're out in the open.

34
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: Now.

35
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: Let's just jump right into this. Let's get into what

36
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: the people want to hear. We'll go right to the engagement. Teresa,

37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: I feel like I learned so much about you during

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: this engagement, just the way you handled what you thought

39
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: was going to be a letdown. Because Gary that one.

40
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: And we knew, like as the audience, we knew that

41
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 3: it was Teresa, you were going to propose it. Even

42
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 3: for a second I was like, oh no, oh no,

43
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: poor Teresa.

44
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: But it was I said, oh my god, somebody come

45
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: and take me away, like take me out of here,

46
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: like this is so embarrassing, Just get me out of here.

47
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 5: This is bad.

48
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 3: And yeah, but Teresa, you were so great because the

49
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: minute he was like and I feel like, it's just

50
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: kind of a It just shows how compatible you guys are,

51
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 3: and like how much your sense of humor lines up.

52
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 3: Because she the minute she realized it was a joke

53
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: and Gary was like, no, you're the one I can't

54
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: live without, she was like, oh my gosh, like that's

55
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: so great.

56
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 2: That was really good, so good it was. It made

57
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: for a moment, really did it made it more exciting?

58
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 4: Yeah? Forgetting And so, I mean you probably know this,

59
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 4: but I missed the line. I wasn't even supposed to

60
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 4: say it exactly the way I did. The way I

61
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 4: said it had much stronger impact than what I was

62
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 4: supposed to say. So I had to quickly, you know,

63
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 4: change the course of things by saying the line that

64
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 4: it She's the one I couldn't live without.

65
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: You called an audible.

66
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 6: That's like halfway back to the car.

67
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: He's like, no, wait, now he's walking away.

68
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 4: It's looking backwards there, Gary.

69
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 1: You you did refer a lot to that line during

70
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: the whole season the find the woman you can't live without?

71
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: Do you want to explain to us what that truly

72
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: means to you?

73
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 4: Sure you know that line came from Tristan. Yes, it

74
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: gave me that as a piece of advice, and and

75
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 4: so the more I thought about it, the more I processed,

76
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 4: I realized, Yeah, that's exactly the guy post I need

77
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 4: to use going forward in this journey. It's like, there

78
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 4: are a lot of beautiful women there. They were all

79
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 4: elegant and well and you and I loved them all,

80
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 4: but I knew there was only one woman there that

81
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 4: I just couldn't live without, and that's the person I

82
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 4: had to find and lo and behold, that's the one.

83
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and what is it about Teresa that made you

84
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: go wow, Like, I can't live without this woman?

85
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 6: These qualities.

86
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 4: So when I went into the journey, there were several

87
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 4: things that I really looked for, I really needed to

88
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 4: have in a partner. One of them was the ability

89
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 4: to make me call you know, I can get carried

90
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 4: away and excited, and Teresa right away on that first date,

91
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 4: you know, with a touch on the shoulder and soft conversation,

92
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 4: she made me calm. Another one of the important qualities

93
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 4: was somebody who could match my strong personality. And she

94
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 4: certainly can match my strong personality. So it makes us

95
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 4: on even footing we're equal partners and everything. And then

96
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 4: there's the sense of humor, which is huge, but one

97
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 4: quality that I've kind I have come to realize a

98
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 4: little bit later in conversations that I thought was really important.

99
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: It was high on my list was the person that

100
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 4: will make me a better person, a better man, And

101
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 4: she does that. So all of those boxes were checked,

102
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 4: and I just knew it was easy at that point

103
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 4: to know who my person was.

104
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 3: Wow, that's beautiful, Teresa. Not to make you go second

105
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 3: to that wonderful answer. But what is it about Gary

106
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: that you feel like you can't live thou?

107
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 5: Oh?

108
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: So Gary is not only so warm hearted and kind

109
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: and sensed and good, he's a man of integrity and

110
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 2: he really stands up for what he believes in. He

111
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: doesn't back down. He's a really strong man. And so

112
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,799
Speaker 2: even though you know, I think I would say that, Okay,

113
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: maybe I could live without a man, but I want

114
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: this man. I really want this man. So yeah, and

115
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 2: that we do complement each other so well. When we

116
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: were going into the when I was asked whether or

117
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: not I wanted to go into the fantasy suite, I

118
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 2: jumped at that chance because I really wanted it was hard,

119
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 2: it's difficult to really be yourself in front of the cameras,

120
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: and I really wanted that alone time to talk and

121
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: to find out, you know, a deeper level. And that's

122
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 2: what happened, I mean honestly. And I went in there

123
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: thinking I'm going to tell them the pros and cons

124
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 2: between me and Leslie. I don't help that way.

125
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 4: And that was Oh we never got.

126
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: To that, well, first of all, because first but then

127
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: we started we started talking and it got deeper and deeper,

128
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: and we started, you know, really talking on a very

129
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: deep level, and we realized how much we hadn't common

130
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 2: and we got more and more excited by the second.

131
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 2: Like I knew it the entire time that I was

132
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: on the show, but it just sealed it and confirmed

133
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: did for me when we were in the fantasy suits,

134
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: and it really was about that conversation, that deep conversation.

135
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: It was. It was you know, you probably felt it

136
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: like it was such a relief to not being in

137
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: front of the cameras and to really just be yourself.

138
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: It was great.

139
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: I think that you guys, yes, we definitely had the

140
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 3: same feeling. Well I had the same feeling. I can't

141
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 3: speak for you, but I can totally understand what you mean.

142
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 3: Teresa being like, I'm going to go in there and

143
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: make sure like he knows I'm the girl for him.

144
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: Like I'm going to go in there and be like, Hey, Joe,

145
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 3: I'm your wife, I'm the girl you've been looking for.

146
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: I just want to make sure with the cameras are

147
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: that you're aware of that too. Yeah, but not even

148
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 3: needing to push that in any way, because the chemistry

149
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 3: and the connection is just there and you just the

150
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 3: night just kind of flows, if that makes sense.

151
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what happened.

152
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: I will say though, as a viewer night of the

153
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: Fantasy Suites, the dinner beforehand was the first time that Gary,

154
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: I believe you learned that Teresa is a business woman

155
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: and it's still working, and that seemed like it was

156
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: something that really intrigued you and seemed like some of

157
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: you were really attracted to. Is that right?

158
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 4: So, Joe's sort of but not exactly. I knew that

159
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 4: she was still working, and I knew generally what she

160
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 4: did in that conversation. What was revealed to me was

161
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 4: that she was a logical thinker and that she was

162
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 4: analytical about her approach. And so the next step from

163
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 4: that is I could have this person with me being

164
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 4: a good problem solver when things get tough. And granted

165
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 4: that's a bit of a leap from conclusion to conclusion,

166
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 4: but that was how my mind went, is that I

167
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 4: understand how she thinks, and this is a person I

168
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 4: would want to be in my corner if things get tough.

169
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we found more and more that we really

170
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: do think alike and you know, want the same things

171
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: out of life. And basically, yeah.

172
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 3: I think that makes total sense because you both the

173
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 3: word partner a lot. I know, Gary, you said in

174
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 3: the beginning, you know you're looking for your partner, your

175
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 3: person you're equal, and if you kind of think the

176
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 3: same and you approach things the same and there's that compatibility,

177
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 3: I can see how you'd be like, wow, like this

178
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 3: is really gonna work because we can lean on each other.

179
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 4: Yeah. I know too many couples where the man will

180
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 4: sort of take charge when it comes to decision making

181
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 4: or problem solving, and that's great if it works for

182
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 4: those couples. I didn't really want that. I wanted to

183
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 4: be a fifty to fifty with someone where both strong

184
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 4: personalities will both stand up for what we believe. But

185
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 4: that even makes it better because I think you learn

186
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 4: from each other when there's back and forth. And I'm

187
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 4: really thrilled that part of our relationship.

188
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: Is that what you were looking for as well, Teresa,

189
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 3: when you went into this process, someone that you could

190
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: be fifty to fifty with.

191
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I did. Yeah, to be on the same

192
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: equal footing line. Uh, And you know, and intellect and

193
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 2: desire and drive and passion and what he wanted out

194
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,599
Speaker 2: of life. And I will tell you this, from the

195
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 2: very beginning of this journey, I only ever wanted him

196
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: to find the best possible person. I wasn't really even

197
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: though I looked at I wasn't trying to push my

198
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: agenda on this. I really, I really coleheartedly. I'm an

199
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: extremely open minded person, and I really wanted him to

200
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 2: explore it with every single person. And because like, are

201
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: you sure, yeah?

202
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 4: Otherwise be sure?

203
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: Right?

204
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

205
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: Right?

206
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: So so Teresa, you weren't were you not nervous at

207
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: all during the overnights when he was with the other

208
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: with Leslie.

209
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: That's a good question because I didn't know he had

210
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: been with Leslie. So I said, oh, you still have

211
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 2: to go out on a date with Leslie now, And

212
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: the overnights he said, no, better it happened. I said,

213
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 2: oh my god, I said, what did you do? He said, oh,

214
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 2: we just repelled off a cliff. I said, repelled off.

215
00:10:59,480 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 4: A cliff and.

216
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: Wow, that's really and I was, yeah, so we talked

217
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 2: about that. So, yes, was I nervous? Yeah? I know,

218
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 2: Actually I don't know. That's not me because really, if

219
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: it's meant to be, it's meant to be.

220
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 6: Is that how you were.

221
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 3: Kind of throughout the journey and then down into the end,

222
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 3: then you know, it sounds like you are an oplind person.

223
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 3: You wanted him to explore, but obviously you're in love

224
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: with this man. How was that, you know, having your

225
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 3: feelings grow stronger and stronger and all the way down

226
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 3: to know, walking down to what could have been a

227
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 3: proposal or a breakup, How was that for you?

228
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? That was that was difficult. It really it's hard.

229
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: You know that this is a process, You know that

230
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 2: this is the journey, that there are other women, and

231
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 2: so yes, I wanted him to explore everything, and that

232
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: was hard to have those feelings to go on that

233
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: first date. For me to think that first date was

234
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: so great, I knew that I had to step back

235
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: and I had to allow him to finish the entire journey.

236
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: And I think Gary said to me, he said, you know,

237
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 2: I was so excited after our first date, but he

238
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: kept saying to himself, don't get stuck on this first date.

239
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: You have to explore it with other people, like, maybe

240
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: this isn't right. Maybe you're just excited about the first date.

241
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: Maybe that's all it is. And then yeah, but I

242
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: don't know if you've seen it on the show, but

243
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: I was truly truly happy when Ellen got her date

244
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 2: and when Leslie got her date, and Faith did and like, yes,

245
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: cheering them on.

246
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 4: I don't know why it was a nuts.

247
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 6: Wait did that throw you off at all?

248
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 5: Though? Gary?

249
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 3: Were you like, did that throw you off at all?

250
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 3: Her willingness to lean into this process and let you

251
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 3: lean into it, did any part of you go, oh,

252
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 3: maybe she's just got that into me. You know, she's

253
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 3: so excited for me to be dating all these women.

254
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have to say, you're hitting on him, very

255
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 4: good point. I can't say it threw me off, but

256
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 4: I was overwhelmed at her level of unselfishness. And that's

257
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 4: it was really legit because at the first time or

258
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 4: two I thought, she's kind of faking this, This isn't

259
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 4: really her. But then when I saw it play over

260
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 4: and over again, I go, oh my god, this woman

261
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 4: is completely unselfish and open minded, and you know what

262
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 4: it does, It compels me to protect her heart even

263
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 4: more so that I can't let something happen to someone

264
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 4: who's as innocent as as she is about this.

265
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like that makes sense because she in

266
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 3: return was giving so much care and thought to your

267
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 3: heart as well.

268
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 4: She wasn't absolutely was the go ahead, Teresa.

269
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: No, I was going to say so. Gary didn't get

270
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 2: to see how I was for the other dates until

271
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 2: he sought it back, so he wouldn't know how how

272
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: I was feeling about it. He really didn't know, because

273
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: really I kind of you know, there are so many

274
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: times that we're together you don't see so to really,

275
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: you know, further relationship that you're not seeing.

276
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 6: But anyway, yeah, right, no, that makes sense.

277
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: It's always a different journey watching it back, and you

278
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 3: know there's hard part swatch, but then there's really nice

279
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 3: parts to watch of your partner as well. How is

280
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 3: it walking down then that last day because we knew obviously,

281
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 3: you know, Leslie was gone. It was just you and

282
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 3: we knew he was going to propose, but you didn't know.

283
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 3: How was that feeling?

284
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.

285
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: I was looking at the weather and was thinking in

286
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: the morning and him saying, okay, well, did Leslie just

287
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: go because now the sun is out? Or now am

288
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 2: I going first and she going second? I had no idea, however,

289
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: and I was yeah. I didn't find out untill later,

290
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 2: right after it was all over. I didn't know. I

291
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: never knew.

292
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 4: You didn't find out until later that Leslie never made right.

293
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: I never I did not know that that was. Yeah.

294
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: I kept that that kept that away from me. I

295
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: still in my mind, I thought it was both of us.

296
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 6: Wow, I didn't know if you.

297
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 3: Had, say, like, what percentage you thought, yes, he's going

298
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 3: to propose, and what percentage you were like, Oh, I'm

299
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 3: not sure, what would you say?

300
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: Oh? I thought it. I was like one hundred percent sure,

301
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: actually actually like ninety nine nine percent. So when it

302
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: seemed like it wasn't, I went he changed his mind.

303
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 2: Oh my god, he changed his mind. Oh my god,

304
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: please you know. And that's when I started flinking away.

305
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 4: And oh, that was just a really magic moment.

306
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: Teresa, you said you said Billy and Gary you said

307
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: Tony would both like each other? Or am I explaining

308
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: this correctly?

309
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 3: Yeah?

310
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: Yeah? What is it about Trisy? You go first? What

311
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: is it about Gary? Do you think Billy really?

312

Speaker 2: and sincere and like a natural, down to earth, wonderful person,

314
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: a good hearted person. That's what Billy would love that.

315
00:15:59,360 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 4: Yeah?

316
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, And then what would Tony love about Teresa?

317
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 4: Tony had a big heart, she was big at volunteering.

318
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 4: She put other people first. She would have been attracted

319
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 4: to that quality with Teresa because she does put other

320
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 4: peopleeople first. She's always thinking about how she can make

321
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 4: someone else happy. She's always thinking about how to answer

322
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 4: the comments that she sees on Instagram, and she'll stay

323
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 4: up late and risk her own sleep time to make

324
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 4: sure she doesn't hurt someone's feelings on Instagram.

325
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: Stop and your answer and all are everything?

326
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: Huh well, especially direct messages?

327
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 4: Yeah?

328
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: Pretty much?

329
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 3: Good luck because finale, you're gonna be up every night

330
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 3: all night long.

331
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 6: If you keep that up, you're gonna get a lot

332
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 6: of love your way.

333
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: I'm wondering now, Okay, so big announcement. Last night, you

334
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: guys announced a date you are getting married. Let's talk

335
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: about that quick turn around now, Yeah, I mean that's quick.

336
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 5: Okay.

337
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 6: It took me a year to plane wedding.

338
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: Think you guys, what five weeks?

339
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 2: This is great old.

340
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, think about it this way. You know, you can

341
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 4: wait a year when you're twenty years old, and it

342
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 4: might be three or four percent of your remaining life.

343
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 4: When you're seventy a year could be ten percent or

344
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 4: twenty percent. So we didn't want to put off what

345
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 4: we really felt was right. So when the obstacle of

346
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 4: geography was overcome that which was really something I thought

347
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 4: would hold us back in timing. When that was overcome,

348
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 4: we really didn't have any problems. I mean, I think

349
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 4: we both realized how compatible we were. The feelings were there.

350
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 4: Our families are incredibly, in such a short time, incredibly

351
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 4: close to each other. They're talking all the time. They

352
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 4: refer to each other as sisters.

353
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 2: Now giving me beautiful sisters more.

354
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, there's no we could not find a

355
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 4: good research to not move for work quickly?

356
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,679

00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 2: Well, we're yes, it's going to be in South Carolina.

367
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,360

Speaker 1: of South Carolina. I love that too.

384
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 6: That's so exciting.

385
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 3: What a great way to start this new chapter of

386
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 3: your life, so marriage soon, and we're currently looking for

387
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 3: a home.

388
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: Correct, we haven't started looking at now we will because

389
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 2: we can't be seen in public.

390
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 4: So there was a There was a pig your phone

391
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 4: call right as the taping was ending, and it was

392
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 4: a random sales call by a real estate person in

393
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 4: South Carolina, in the Charleston area. And it was early

394
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 4: in the morning, and I was a little groggy, hadn't

395
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 4: had my first cup of coffee yet, and I'm listening

396
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 4: to her and they go, do you realize I'm planning

397
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 4: on moving to your area anyway? And her comment was,

398
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 4: Oh my god, what a way to start a Monday morning.

399
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 4: And so she's been sending listings several times a week

400
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 4: ever since.

401
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: That was a lucky cold call.

402
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 3: Sign.

403
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 6: That has to be a sign.

404
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, there is.

405
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: Okay, So are we too old for bachelor bachelorette parties?

406
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: No?

407
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: Okay, do we plan? Do we plan one of those trees?

408
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: Are you planning a bachelorette party? Any girls from your

409
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: season that you're close with that you're inviting?

410
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 2: Yes, planning a bachelorette party?

411
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 3: Where?

412
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: Oh where? I can't you know?

413
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: Really you can't tell us. Are you doing Vegas.

414
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 4: Ah No, I don't think so, because I got Vegas.

415
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 6: Those did Vegas, but we did different weeks.

416
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I know my pickleball friends brought it up

417
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 4: this week if they could, you know, do some kind

418
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 4: of a bachelor party, and I thought, you know, if

419
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 4: we kind of if we wind it down by nine o'clock,

420
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 4: we can go anywhere you want, but.

421
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 6: There somewhere with an active daytime.

422
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: But yeah, I like that.

423
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 6: Great.

424
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: What else? What else? Let's uh, let's touch a little

425
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: bit on Gary the breakup with Leslie. We know that

426
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: that was that was pretty tough, and we don't have

427
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: to talk long about it because I know it's awkward.

428
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: But how how do you feel now that that's all

429
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: over with?

430
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 4: Well, I feel awful that you know, it was a

431
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 4: difficult situation. There was no way out of it that

432
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 4: was graceful, and I think that was the worst of

433
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 4: it is that every direction I turned trying to find

434
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 4: the more graceful, the more gracious way out, it just

435
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 4: wasn't there. So, as you saw, I was able to

436
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 4: break protocol with what the Bachelor Bachelorette franchise is typically done,

437
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 4: where two women go down, you know, one anticipating or

438
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 4: one and getting an engagement and one get sent home.

439
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 4: And I was able to not do that with Leslie

440
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 4: and break the news to her the night before as

441
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 4: she saw and it was horrible. I'm not gonna lie,

442
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 4: There's no there's no way to dress it up. It

443
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 4: was a horrible moment. I had such strong feelings for

444
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 4: such admiration and respect, only to be the guy that

445
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 4: had to send her home and deash your dreams.

446
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 2: And I want to add this that I was really

447
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 2: good friends with Leslie in the house. I cooked her dinner,

448
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 2: she taught me exercise routines, and we sat and talked

449
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 2: a lot. We even one time cried together. So this

450
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 2: isn't fun to you know, have to have that happen

451
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 2: to any other human being. I didn't like that. And

452
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 2: along those same lines, I was really good friends with Faith.

453
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 2: So I would say that people I was the closest

454
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 2: with in the house were Faith and Leslie. How you know,

455
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 2: how does that happen?

456
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 3: But that's I feel like that's not uncommon, though, because

457
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 3: you are the people that are really bonded from this

458
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 3: journey because you've gone the furthest together, right, and you've

459
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 3: been through so much, and I know that you know,

460
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 3: Leslie did say she had nothing but really nice things

461
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 3: to say about you, which is nice to see, like

462
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 3: those friendships continue after everything. But Gary, Leslie did say,

463
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 3: you know, she felt you were kind of pulling away

464
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 3: or a little bit off on that last date, which

465
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: we can kind of assume you know your heart was

466
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 3: pulling you to Teresa in those moments. Was there a

467
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 3: specific moment that you really knew like I need to

468
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 3: end things with Leslie, this is this is not it

469
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: for me.

470
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 4: So there were there were conversations in the fantasy suite

471
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 4: that were very revealing to me, And quite honestly, because

472
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 4: they're in the fantasy suite and are not in front

473
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 4: of cameras and microphones, I feel like it's appropriate to

474
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 4: keep them in the fantasy suite and leave that you

475
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 4: know there. But but yeah, there were some things that

476
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 4: we talked about.

477
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 3: And then you had a quick turnaround, obviously, from a

478
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 3: really emotionally charged breakup with Leslie to then a proposal

479
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 3: with Teresa the next day. How did you kind of

480
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 3: transition out of that mindset into feeling excited for your

481
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 3: future with Teresa, Because obviously there's.

482
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 5: Just so many emotions.

483
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 6: I'm sure going through your head.

484
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 4: There was, but you know, it's like with every step

485
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 4: along the way, reminding myself that this is my journey

486
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 4: and what my ultimate goal was, which was to find

487
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 4: that one person that was right for me. And so yeah,

488
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 4: I felt really bad through the course of the night

489
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 4: because of Leslie, but quite honestly, I turned that corner

490
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 4: only because of that face right there. I mean, it

491
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,479
Speaker 4: was in my head. I couldn't get it out, and

492
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 4: I realized that I'd walked through hell if I had

493
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 4: to to get to her, that the ultimate goal was

494
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 4: right there and I wasn't going to walk away from it,

495
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 4: and that put me in a much better headspace.

496
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's amazing. Well look at you, Teresa, you you

497
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: got him, You got He's good.

498
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 4: Don't say that he is.

499
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,719
Speaker 6: You're both in love. It's a happy ending. That's what

500
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 6: we love to see, you know.

501
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, and.

502
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 6: That was I want to ask you guys a question.

503
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 3: So this is the first season of The Golden Bachelor, right,

504
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 3: so the first time we're ever seeing this. You're talking

505
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 3: to you know, twenty something a thirty something year old

506
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 3: who have found love on this show. You're both at

507
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 3: your second time of finding love. What was different this

508
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 3: time around that you were looking for versus when you

509
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 3: were looking for your first love?

510
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 6: Does that make sense?

511
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 2: Makes a lot of sense. I mean, the first time

512
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 2: you're looking for your first love, you're looking to start

513
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 2: a family. You know, that's that's a way different dynamic

514
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 2: that you're looking for not only a good husband, but

515
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 2: a good father. And this time I think we're looking

516
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 2: for equal partners, someone who will enjoy life with you

517
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: and who feel it has the same philosophy about life

518
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 2: as you do. So and it's also it's also about

519
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 2: really knowing. I think that when I was on this journey,

520
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 2: you know, you heard me say so many times, I

521
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: love you. I kept telling him, And I did that

522
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: because I think when you're old, I don't know, or

523
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 2: maybe ever, if you feel something, you should say something.

524
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 2: Because if I didn't give him that information, then he

525
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 2: wouldn't have that to know that he had that option

526
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: with me. So I knew that throughout this journey I

527
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: had to be vulnerable and lay it all out on Shable,

528
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: just the way he did with every woman. And he did.

529
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: He really did, really give every woman his full attention.

530
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: Why did you do that, I think you had. I

531
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: think you just have the perfect mindset for you, really do.

532
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: And I think that that really helped your guys's connection

533
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: because you were not scared to be vulnerable and put

534
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: it all out there, and you did it pretty soon.

535
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: And for someone like Gary who's dating twenty something women,

536
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: that really helps you stand out of the crowd.

537
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you are a very self assured, confident woman, and

538
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 3: you were so vulnerable the whole time. It was very

539
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 3: impressive and it was really love me to watch, and

540
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 3: I'm glad you two found each other.

541
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 4: It was absolutely no insecurities and no jealousies from her,

542
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 4: and that also stood out. You know, if you were

543
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 4: a keen observer and you watched throughout, that was pretty

544
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 4: unique for Teresa to display that.

545
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, and it's hard. It's hard to do, really,

546
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 6: it's so hard to do.

547
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's how I felt.

548
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, what are you guys most excited for now?

549
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 6: That everything?

550
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: Holiday seasons are coming up? Now, you guys can spend

551
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: the holidays with each other's special to.

552
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 2: Have our families together, and yeah, it's been really Yeah,

553
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: that's true. I would say the most important thing right

554
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: now has been the holidays together, the wedding, oh my god.

555
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 4: Well and getting away a little bit from the glitz

556
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 4: and glamour and the high profile of the Golden Bachelor,

557
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 4: and being able to silently slip into normal life and

558
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 4: do the common things. I mean, we haven't grocery shopped together, right,

559
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 4: you know. It's like the little things like that that

560
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 4: we kind of look forward to as being fun experiences.

561
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

562
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 3: It's so funny because before going on this show and

563
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 3: doing this podcast, if you ask me what like the

564
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 3: top three normal couple activities are, I would have never

565
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 3: listed grocery shopping. But every couple that comes on here,

566
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 3: the first thing they say, and we said it too,

567
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 3: we said it too, is oh my gosh, we just

568
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 3: can't wait to go grocery shopping to get.

569
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 2: But the thing is, I eat, really, oh my god,

570
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: we eat. The biggest horror story for me was that

571
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: first cupcake that went in my mouth. If you looked

572
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 2: at some guy, it works out to me. She said,

573
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do? They ask you, sugar, I said,

574
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: Joe just gonna eat it. So, you know, first night,

575
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 2: putting a cupcake in his mouth and can you lick

576
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: it off?

577
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:29,239
Speaker 4: That's all I said no, and then I didn't know this.

578
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 4: I wasn't aware of it. And then we go to

579
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 4: Santa Monica Pear and there's the cotton candy and I'm

580
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 4: practically shoving candy like I was. And then like the

581
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 4: next day someone told me, you know, she doesn't eat sugar.

582
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 4: I go at all, they go at all. So it's like,

583
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 4: oh my god.

584
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 6: You're gonna have two separate grocery carts.

585
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 2: Store.

586
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: That's actually similar to us because when, yeah, when Serena

587
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: came to Chicago after we did get in aged and

588
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: we were like in hiding, she came to Chicago and I,

589
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm Italian and I always order like Italian food and

590
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: pizza and Serena can't eat cheese and dairy, and she

591
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: didn't want to tell me.

592
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 3: See, every once in a while, like if we go

593
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 3: out to like a really good pizza spot, I'll have

594
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 3: a piece of pizza, but.

595
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, like I will. I don't eat a lot of

596
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 6: dairy ever, And Joe.

597
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 3: Was ordering an ice cream and buying all this dairy

598
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 3: I'm putting making it cheesy onmewds. And I didn't want

599
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 3: to say anything for like the first four months because.

600
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 6: I would like, wake up to this, you know, really

601
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 6: cheesy eggs. I'm like, oh, thanks so much.

602
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 3: And eventually I was like, Bade, this has to stop.

603
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 3: I can't my body can't handle this cheese anymore.

604
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 2: No, you talk about what's the difference right when you're

605
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: young and old with my husband. My husband, first, Billy,

606
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 2: I wouldn't tell him that I didn't eat these things.

607
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: I tried to hide it too, because I didn't want

608
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: to seem so strange, like Okay, you should have eat this.

609
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 2: But now I just feel like I'm going to influence

610
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 2: him on food cart and he's going to balce me

611
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 2: to go to Benn earlier because I could have been there.

612
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 6: You go, You can exchange healthy habits.

613
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: Okay, Before before we wrap for part one, I want

614
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: to ask Teresa this question. What is it about Gary

615
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: that you can't live without?

616
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 2: I can't live without his heart and his soul and

617
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 2: his intellect and his passion and his drive. Yeah, it's

618
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 2: the maybe the passion.

619
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: Passion.

620
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 2: Passion is really really so important for me and a man,

621
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 2: you know, to have passion, you know, not just about life,

622
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 2: but anything in particular, to get really excited about life

623
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 2: and excited about things.

624
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: I see I see it in his side, to see

625
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: the way he looks at you. I want to see

626
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: carry like, take it easy. Wait, we're still we're still recording.

627
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 4: But now wait a minute, Serena, did you notice that

628
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 4: all during that answer she held her hand like this

629
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 4: with the wedding ring. She was explaining things, flashing the wedding.

630
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 4: I think subliminally what she was really saying is, I

631
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 4: can't live without Jerry's ability.

632
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 3: I can't live without Gary or the diamond on my

633
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 3: finger equally, they're equally as important. But she can't live

634
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 3: without sugar, just not Gary or the diamond.

635
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: There we go. It's a beautiful ring. It's a beautiful ring, Bachelination.

636
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: There is still so much to talk about with Gary

637
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: and Teresa, so make sure to come back next week

638
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: for part two with Gary and Teresa. Thank you, guys,

639
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: thank you.

640
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 2: You're great.
