Speaker 4: Yeah, it was It was good. I mean the funny

46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 4: thing is that Joan and Chalk and Gary and I

47
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 4: actually had a drink after the show at back at

48
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 4: the hotel, and Gary and I just kind of fell

49
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 4: into like friend mode, and you know, we are sharing

50
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 4: a bowl of soup. I mean, I don't know, we

51
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 4: just it's kind of a thing where we're okay with

52
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 4: each other. And I really have a place in my

53
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 4: heart for him. I mean, he was special to me,

54
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 4: and you just don't turn that off just because you know,

55
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 4: you got your heart broken. And obviously so much time

56
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 4: has gone by, and I really want him to be happy.

57
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 4: He wants me to be happy. And he still makes

58
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 4: me laugh and I make him laugh, and it was

59
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 4: it was very easy. So it was nice.

60
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: Is there a part of you that's glad that he

61
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: didn't choose you?

62
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 4: Oh? My god? Just what Joe?

63
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know, Like, I mean, are you looking

64
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: at it now? You know it's been a year. Is

65
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 3: there a party that's like, yeah, like with him living

66
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 3: in Indiana?

67
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: Yeah? Like, how do you feel? Do you feel or

68
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: what do you think?

69
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: I think things I always say things always work out

70
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 4: the way they're supposed to. And you know, I don't

71
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 4: think it was shown. But the last night, or literally

72
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 4: five minutes before he broke up with me, he said

73
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 4: he would like to move to Minneapolis. So I don't know.

74
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 4: I don't I don't think I would have had to

75
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 4: move to Indiana, but uh, you know, I think things

76
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 4: worked out the way they were supposed to. I I

77
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 4: I really have a place for him in my heart.

78
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 4: But you know, I mean, you just don't know. I

79
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 4: you know, I don't. I don't think we're probably perfect

80
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 4: for each other, you know, at the end of the day, Yeah.

81
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: Have you been dating at all since the show?

82
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 4: No, I haven't.

83
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,559
Speaker 1: Well it's a crazy question. That's not a crazy question.

84
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 4: No, well no, I know. But it's like people like,

85
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 4: why haven't you been dating? And again, I know I've

86
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 4: said this before, but I live in Minneapolis. I've lived

87
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: here my whole life. It's a small, big town. I

88
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 4: know everybody. I'm not going to date someone's ex husband

89
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 4: that I know, you know, Like it's it's just it's

90
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: a really hard town for dating. And I actually think

91
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 4: it's a hard town for dating, not just but older people,

92
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 4: but with younger people too. I mean, my daughter has

93
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 4: a hard time. She's thirty three. I'm actually friends Huh.

115
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 3: you consider moving?

116
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 4: I would consider moving if it's the right place. I mean,

117
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 4: and I don't I wouldn't mind having two places. I

118
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 4: love my condo here in Minneapolis. I literally look, you know,

119
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 4: over the city. It's beautiful and I love it, and

120
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 4: Minneapolis is amazing in the summer. But I definitely wouldn't

121
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 4: mind kind of just going back and forth. I mean,

122
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 4: my grandkids are here, and I have three I have

123
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 4: two kids here, my sons in Chicago, so I you know,

124
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 4: I I kind of want to be here, you know,

125
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 4: a little bit of the year.

126
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

127
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 3: Well, ideally you meet someone that it like lives in

128
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 3: Florida or Arizona or Vegas, somewhere warm, and then you

129
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 3: could spend time.

130
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 4: Exactly exactly, or California I have, I have half my

131
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 4: family lives in La so that wouldn't be bad. Or Chicago,

132
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 4: you know, I don't know.

133
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: Just Chicago's cold though, Chicago's cold.

134
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sorry you're Joseph obsessed with the weather today.

135
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 5: This is like the fourth time we've talked about Arizona.

136
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: I don't know why you're coming at me. Probably No, it's.

137
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: Cold in New York and we're over it. I'm totally

138
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: with you. It's just funny.

139
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's like forty eight degrees in Minneapolis today,

140
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 4: Like I'm sick of this, you.

143
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: It fucking sucks and I'm sick of it. Stepping out of.

144
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 3: My apartment and being instantly stressed because cold winds blowing

145
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,880

Speaker 2: Truly, it's just cold.

150
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 5: We had actually, we had Gary on the podcast a

151
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 5: little bit ago, and he was telling us that you

152
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 5: gave him You and Joan gave him some advice regarding

153
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 5: telling Teresa that he is dating someone new.

154
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: It was Yehy that you gave him.

155
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 4: Well, I guess it was after the Grant's finale and

156
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 4: we were on the bus going back to the hotel

157
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 4: together and he asked me, you know, he said he's

158
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: dating somebody, and I'm like, oh my god, that's wonderful,

159
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 4: and I'm so happy for you. And and he did

160
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 4: ask me if I should tell Teresa. I said, well,

161
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 4: I think he should, because first of all, I think

162
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 4: she'd be happy for you. And second of all, I

163
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 4: think it's better hearing it from you than seeing it

164
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 4: like on the internet or hearing it from somebody else.

165
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 4: I know that's what I would want, So I just

166
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 4: kind of gave him that advice.

167
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: And you know, well, Gary really has just the best

168
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: of both worlds.

169
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 4: Huh.

170
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 3: He's able to just get advice from his exes. You

171
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 3: guys are all good friends. Now, this is these dating whoever.

172
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 3: He wants Gary, he's got it going on.

173
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 4: He definitely.

174
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 2: Are you still close with Teresa?

175
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 5: I know that you guys kind of developed a friendship

176
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 5: after the show.

177
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, we are. She's we just became really good friends

178
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 4: and we text her talk probably every day. She visited

179
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 4: me in Minneapolis last June, and then we met in

180
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 4: New York and we have a really good, really good

181
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 4: relationship and we have fun together, and I just yeah, yeah,

182
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 4: we're good.

183
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: Do you think she would ever do Golden Bachelor in Paradise?

184
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 5: I do.

185
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: I mean, she were too, but I don't know. You know,

186
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: she hasn't been announcy, haven't heard anything about.

187
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 4: Her, Yeah, Leslie Joe.

188
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 5: So hypothetically, if Teresa did go to Paradise, and obviously

189
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 5: you know you're going as well, which we'll get into.

190
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 5: You've met some of the Golden Men just through the

191
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 5: channels of Bachelor Nation. Is there anyone that you could

192
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 5: see Teresa hitting it off with?

193
00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 4: Oh? I H I think Teresa. I think Keith seems

194
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 4: really funny, and I'm you know, I haven't met him,

195
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 4: but he seems really funny. And Teresa is funny. She's

196
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 4: got a good sense of humor, and you know, I

197
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 4: could maybe see them like having fun together.

198
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 2: I don't know. For you.

199
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: Now, you're somebody that's you've been off the show for

200
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 3: whatever it's been a year or a little over a

201
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: year or under a year, and you've you've met a

202
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: lot of these guys and a lot of these guys

203
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 3: are going to be in Paradise. So were there any

204
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 3: guys you've developed like interest in that you've met, or

205
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 3: are all the men that you've met thus far? It's

206
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 3: kind of just like those are friendships.

207
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 4: I think they're just friendships. I mean I haven't met Keith,

208
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 4: I haven't met Dan. I you know, I've met Jordan,

209
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 4: Pascal and doctor Bob. I met him and Gary from

210
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 4: you know, because we were on the finale together. Yeah,

211
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 4: and that's really all I've met. I mean, you know,

212
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 4: I think Jordan and I have a lot in common,

213
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 4: but right now we're just we're good friends and it's okay.

214
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 4: You know, I'd rather be friends with him than then

215
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 4: not be friends with him. But we do have a

216
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 4: lot in common. And yeah, so if he's in Paradise,

217
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 4: that'll be fun just to be with hang out with

218
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 4: him and you know, maybe get to know him better.

219
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 4: But other than that, I don't know. I'm I'm I'm

220
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 4: actually open and I'm going to I don't like want

221
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 4: to have any preconceived ideas about any of them. I

222
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 4: want to be open, and I mean, I never thought

223
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 4: I would fall in love with someone like Gary, So

224
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 4: I'm going to be open and see what happens.

225
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 5: What's Joan saying, like, is she giving any tidbits of Ooh,

226
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 5: I think you should keep your eye up for this guy,

227
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 5: or I think so and so and this person might match.

228
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 4: She No, No, we didn't talk about that. I think

229
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 4: she thought that maybe after the show that Jordan and

230
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 4: I would like get together, because she thought that we

231
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 4: would be really good together. But you know, she knows

232
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 4: we're just friends, and but she she didn't say anything. Okay,

233
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 4: So yeah, I don't know.

234
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 3: Personal question, and feel free not to answer if you

235
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 3: don't want to. But did you and Jordan attempt to

236
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 3: see if there was like anything romantic there?

237
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 2: No?

238
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 5: Okay, so it's an untapped space.

239
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, we just I don't know. We just you know, again,

240
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 4: even though Chicago Minneapolis are close in proximity, it's still

241
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 4: two different cities. And we went to a couple of

242
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 4: concerts together. I was in Chicago seeing my son and

243
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 4: he works for Live Nations, so we went together.

244
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 5: That's kind of a funny cross because your son works

245
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 5: for Live Nation too, doesn't he?

246
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: No, my son, I said, my son works for Live Nation.

247
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 2: I thought you were saying.

248
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 4: I was like, no, she had a new job.

249
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: That's so crazy.

250
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 4: Well, I think it did get an a job. I

251
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 4: don't know what it is, but no, it's not with

252
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 4: Live Nation. My son, I have the hookup.

253
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: That's what I thought. That's what I thought.

254
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 4: So anyways, so we went to We we really liked

255
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 4: the same music and Cag's The Elephant is one of

256
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 4: my favorite bands, one of his favorite bands, and they

257
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,599
Speaker 4: were playing in Chicago, and I just couldn't wait to

258
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 4: see them, and so we went to that and all

259
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 4: American Mejackson. It was fun, but that was really it. So,

260
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 4: you know, we text every once in a while. And

261
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 4: his daughter is a doll. I met Jamie. She's just

262
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 4: a doll, and you know, we'll text every once in

263
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 4: a while. But yeah, I think, I don't know, We're

264
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 4: just I'd rather have us be friends than try something

265
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 4: and then not friends, you know what I mean.

266
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe maybe Paradise changes things. You never know.

267
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: I think, what are your thoughts on meeting Pascal? How'd

268
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: that go?

269
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 4: That was funny? I mean he's he's definitely he's funny.

270
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 4: I mean he just says it like it what is.

271
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 4: He turns to me and goes, Leslie, you look good

272
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 4: and I said, well, thanks, I'm too old for you,

273
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 4: and he goes, how old are you? I said, I'm

274
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 4: sixty five. He goes, yeah, you're too old.

275
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 5: I mean he did say he likes to a forty

276
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 5: fifty year old woman.

277
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I think, but he's got all this,

278
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 2: but you never.

279
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 5: He also went on a show with David Joan, who

280
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 5: was sixty one, So you're not tiring at him.

281
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 4: Well, I'm older than Joan, but yeah, I mean I

282
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 4: think he's just funny. He kind of cracks me up.

283
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 4: He just says it like it is. He he doesn't

284
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 4: hold anything back. And yeah, it was funny. So it

285
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 4: was fun meeting him.

286
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 3: What is your biggest fear going into Paradise and what

287
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 3: are you most excited for?

288
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 4: Okay, my biggest fear is I don't really have the

289
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 4: biggest fear yet because I don't really like When I

290
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 4: went on The Golden Bachelor, I knew the formula, you know,

291
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 4: because I've been watching it my whole life, and of

292
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 4: course I know the formula of Bachelor in Paradise. But

293
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 4: I don't think it's gonna I think they're going to

294
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 4: change it a little. I think they're going to have

295
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 4: to with us.

296
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're technically the first group of Goldens to ever

297
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 5: do Paradise. So it's like, I feel like you guys

298
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 5: have the biggest question mark on what you're walking into.

299
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.

300
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 4: Can I give you some advice, Yes, I'd love advice.

301
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: I don't think I don't really think they're going to

302
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 3: change shit like I think they may. I think they

303
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 3: may add a few elements to it, but I think

304
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 3: realistically it's still going to be the same. It's going

305
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 3: to be the same format. Like if you meet somebody

306
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 3: that you like, like that.

307
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 5: In terms of like the relationship falling in love component,

308
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 5: and that's going to be left untouched. Well yeah, I

309
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 5: mean it's still a dating show. It's still right at

310
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 5: the heart of it, it's going to be about finding love.

311
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that totally I get. I just don't like

312
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 4: everyone's like, are you guys going to be dating each other,

313
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 4: meaning the young and old, and I don't think that's

314
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 4: going to happen. I doubt it, you know. I don't know.

315
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 4: I mean, like how much time are we spending with

316
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 4: the young ands? Like, you know, It's just it's it's

317
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 4: a little bit of a question mark for me. I

318
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 4: don't even know where we're going, you know, so I

319
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 4: can't really be a am I afraid of the unknown?

320
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm usually not like that. I'm I

321
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 4: kind of just go with it my free spirit. It's

322
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 4: like whatever will be will be. I'll take it day

323
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 4: by day. I don't know, you know, like just I'll

324
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 4: just do it. And I'm most excited about, you know,

325
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,239
Speaker 4: to see my some of my friends that are going

326
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 4: to be there obviously, and to make new friends and

327
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 4: you know, the potential of finding love really is exciting

328
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 4: for me. So yeah, I guess that's what I'm looking

329
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 4: forward to. And being in a beautiful place hopefully and

330
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 4: maybe some air conditioning. And I love the beach, so

331
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 4: I don't know.

Speaker 3: I was somebody that was very hesitant even like trying,

342
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,840

00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. No, it's good. If you have a good teacher,

345
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 4: then it's amazing. Yeah, I mean it's I just love

Speaker 4: the place, and you know, I got the lay of

356
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 4: the land, and it's a lot easier when you know

357
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 4: what you're where you're going and everything.

358
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,240

Speaker 4: I told you guys to go there.

362
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 5: I thought we were going there, but I got Patagonia

363
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:57,800

364
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:58,240

Speaker 2: I feel like we'll be back there.

374
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. It is beautiful with the sunset on the beach

375
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 4: and you're you're basically eating on the sand. But it's

376
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 4: kind of a nice restaurant. And I mean it is

377
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,480

Speaker 1: What is with the green screen?

390
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 3: Where are you?

391
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 4: I know, I know, I'm like, I'm making an action movie. No,

393
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 4: I am at a studio Minneapolis because I am filming

394
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 4: some on demand videos for Lifetime and so it kind

395
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 4: of just coincided with today with the podcast. And so

396
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 4: I'm in a room and it's actually a really like

397
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 4: this huge green wall. But I have a blur thing

398
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 4: on my my zoom and I don't even know how

399
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 4: it got there. I never even put that there. So

400
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 4: it is a green it is a green wall.

401
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 2: We on demand videos for Lifetime. What does that mean?

402
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, so Lifetime Fitness has on demand, Like they have

403
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 4: an app and you don't even have to belong to

404
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 4: Lifetime to utilize the app. And so on the app

405
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 4: they have, they have on demand videos. So like if

406
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 4: you feel like doing like today, I'm doing dance and pilates,

407
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 4: so and it's only twenty minutes eat. So if you

408
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 4: feel like doing pilates with Leslie, you know whatever, and

409
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 4: you scroll and you find my video and that's how

410
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 4: it works.

411
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: So there's a week do you do pilates?

412
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 4: Well, I actually teach bar pilates. I do a combo

413
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 4: and I teach that three days a week.

414
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 3: Wow, So like, yeah, all right, I've always been interested

415
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 3: in plates. I've done it at a handful of times.

416
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 3: But I do feel like it's one of those exercises

417
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 3: where if you don't do it on a consistent basis,

418
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 3: and like I would say, minimum once a week. Yeah,

419
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 3: like does it even does it do anything? Like if

420
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 3: you do it like once every like three months, is

421
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 3: it No?

422
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 4: No, because most exercises if you do once every three

423
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 4: months is kind of pointless. So yeah, but I would say,

424
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 4: you know, like I teach at pilates, but I've been

425
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 4: taking reformer pilates and that is that's kind of changed

426
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 4: my body a little bit, you know, And so.

427
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 5: Hard Reformer plates is honestly the hardest work yet I do.

428
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 4: It's the hardest thing. It's the hardest. And I have

429
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 4: this instructor that is she is so hard. Is every

430
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 4: class is different and every I'm dying and it's only

431
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 4: fifty minutes and I'm dying and every oh my god.

432
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 4: But it's really it's helped me become stronger and it's

433
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 4: helped me with my posture. And yeah, so I think,

434
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 4: to be honest with you, any kind of exercise, I

435
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 4: think you have to do at least twice a week

436
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 4: to get the benefits of it.

437
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, but what do you think, like if I were

438
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 3: if let's say, you know, I work out five days

439
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 3: a week and one of those days.

440
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: Is pilates, So technically, you know, I do pilates four

441
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: times a month. Yeah, is that Is there any benefit

442
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: in that? You think?

443
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 4: Well? I think so as long as you're doing other

444
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 4: things and then you know, you can coorporate your pilates

445
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 4: and other things, like when you learn how to you know,

446
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 4: when you become one with your core, you utilize it

447
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 4: pretty much throughout all your other exercises that you do,

448
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 4: even if you play golf or any sports that you do. So,

449
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 4: like I used to be a figure skater and now

450
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 4: figure skaters take a lot of pilate's and I wish

451
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 4: I would have had that tool when I was skating

452
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 4: because I think it would have helped all skaters back

453
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 4: then to be better at their sport.

454
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely, definitely.

455
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, going back to going back to Paradise, any questions

456
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 3: you would want to ask us since.

457
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially I know I know your veterans. I know,

458
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 4: so are you like filming outside all day long and

459
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 4: the heat like is there?

460
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 2: It's really really well.

461
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 5: Okay, So it might be slightly different for you guys,

462
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 5: because I know that when you filmed Golden Bosch or

463
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 5: your filming hours were much shorter than regular season of

464
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 5: the Bachelor. So when we filmed Paradise, the hours are

465
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 5: incredibly long. It was like, this sounds so like scary,

466
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 5: and I'm not trying to say it's scary, but like

467
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 5: it was like the first week was really intense for filming.

468
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 2: It's just really long.

469
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 5: There's so many people, there's so many stories, there's so

470
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 5: much happening.

471
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 3: Okay, I will interject here because it is. But it's

472
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 3: also you have a lot of freedom, yeah, opposed to

473
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 3: the actual show. Like you kind of wake up in Paradise,

474
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 3: you get breakfast and for the most part, besides like

475
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 3: the host coming in once every couple days, you could

476
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: kind of do whatever. It's just like sometimes that whatever

477
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 3: is interesting, so they're gonna throw a camera in your face.

478
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 3: But like if you're whatever you're doing is like if

479
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 3: if you and Jordan are friends in that relationship doesn't

480
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 3: go anywhere, and you guys are just having a friendly conversation.

481
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 3: It's kind of just like, yeah, chill, like you're on vacation.

482
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, Well, I mean our show, The Golden Bachelor

483
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 4: was shorter, so of course that that was all that

484
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 4: was shorter. But I don't know if this one is.

485
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 4: I don't know anything about it. Everyone thinks I'm lying.

486
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 4: I'm like, well, first of all, if I knew everything,

487
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say. But second of all, I don't know.

488
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 5: No, they I mean, we don't really know anything either.

489
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 5: But I mean when we were going on the show,

490
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 5: at least for me, maybe it was a little different

491
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 5: for you, Joe, But I was completely in the dark too,

492
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 5: Like I was like, I don't know what I'm getting

493
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 5: myself into here, Like I hope I packed appropriately and

494
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 5: I hope that I have fun.

495
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean I guess you know, you guys

496
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 4: look like you had fun and you know it wasn't

497
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 4: too Are your emotions like really high? And are you

498
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 4: tired a lot? And because we were really tired and

499
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 4: Golden Bachelor.

500
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, yeah, you're tired. I was tired.

501
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 2: I was really tired.

502
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 3: Have you thought about Okay, so you know, you were

503
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 3: you were on the Golden Bachelor, So you were competing

504
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 3: for a man with other women. Yeah, you know, and

505
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 3: when it got serious, there were still other women in

506
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 3: Gary's life that you were competing against. Have you thought

507
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 3: about the fact that, like you now may be in

508
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 3: a position where multiple guys are into you and you're

509
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 3: potentially like questioning who you're into, Like you could be

510
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 3: in the love triangle with two men.

511
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: Have you thought about that? Well?

512
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 4: I have thought about that, and that's going to be

513
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 4: the hard part for me because I don't like hurting

514
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 4: people's feelings, and you know, I mean I don't want to.

515
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 4: I don't like when my feelings are hurt, and I

516
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 4: don't you know, I have a hard time, you know,

517
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 4: I'm not very I just don't.

518
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: Don't want to hurt anyone.

519
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I just don't want to hurt anyone.

520
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 3: That's the way you are, because if you were the

521
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 3: opposite way that you, probably you'd be a monster. I

522
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 3: actually have going down there because I want to hurt some.

523
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 4: I can't wait to bust something. No, I you know,

524
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm just gonna see how it goes.

525
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 4: But again, I you know, we'll see, we'll see how,

526
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 4: We'll see how it plays out.

527
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 5: Is there anyone from Gary season that you hope goes

528
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 5: down as well?

529
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 4: From Gary season? Well, I mean my good friends are Teresa, Ellen, Sandra,

530
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 4: I love Edith. I mean, those are just the girls

531
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 4: I kind of hang out with. I you know, I'm

532
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 4: if Faith goes I'm kind of excited to see. I

533
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 4: would be excited to see her because she always gave

534
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 4: me a little chuckle and she's very sweet girl. So

535
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 4: it'll be good to see. It'll be good to see

536
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 4: all of them. Really, I mean, whoever, I really don't

537
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 4: even know who's going. So who's whoever's there.

538
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 2: Whoever's there, You're happy to see that.

539
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 3: Where they I think this could be something that happens

540
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 3: where they bring in men and women that haven't yet been.

541
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 2: On Oh you think, I don't think so, you don't

542
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 2: think so?

543
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 4: Well, Okay, so that's another thing. If if some of

544
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 4: us go, don't they have to replenish like they do

545
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 4: that on the normal show.

546
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that's a good point.

547
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 3: Well, so I would would if we got like, you know,

548
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 3: a few randoms.

549
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 2: Like Saraphina's mom like a parent.

550
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: I'd even think about that, but sure, I mean.

551
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 5: That would be an example of someone who like wasn't

552
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 5: on the Golden backt show, Like we know who she

553
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 5: is and of her were single, she has that connection.

554
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 5: Oh my god, are we gonna have like parent and

555
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 5: children dynamics on this season?

556
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: I don't know.

557
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 5: I mean maybe because who whose son was at was

558
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 5: that Jones tell all Gary Son?

559
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 3: He was old enough, you know, and even like grand

560
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 3: sister could be someone that goes.

561
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 2: We'll see.

562
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a lot of people that applied for

563
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 4: Golden Bachelor and Golden Bachelrette. Maybe they'll take some of

564
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 4: those people. I don't know, definitely, very yeah, I'd be

565
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 4: fine meeting new people. Who knows?

566
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, what what has been after?

567
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 3: You know? Now looking back, what's been the best takeaway

568
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 3: from you from all of this? From you being you know,

569
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 3: going on Golden meeting all new people, just like being

570
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 3: part of this franchise, Well.

571
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 4: That I think that I think being part of like

572
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 4: Bachelor Nation and meeting of course all my friends and

573
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 4: you know, and and the younger people and becoming friends

574
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 4: with Trista and people like that, which I, you know,

575
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 4: loved from for so long and you guys, I mean

576
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 4: just everybody, and you just have that bond that you know,

577
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 4: there's just not a lot of people in the world

578
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 4: that have that bond. And it's just like when I

579
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 4: came home, I missed my friends, you know, people that

580
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 4: I've been friends with forever growing up. But then the

581
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 4: girls from the show, I'm you know, they we're the

582
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 4: only ones that really experience that experience and knows how

583
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 4: we felt. And so there's that bond and that's never

584
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 4: going to go away. So I came out of the

585
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 4: show so much richer, just with relationships and you know, friendships.

586
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 4: And I'm still hopeless romantic and I'm hoping that I

587
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 4: find love, whether it's on Bachelor in Paradise or outside

588
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 4: of it, but hopefully.

589
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 5: How do your family and friends feel about you went

590
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 5: back on TV.

591
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 4: Well, my kids are like, of course, of course, this

592
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 4: is good for you, mom, Like you know, they they

593
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 4: love it. You know, my my daughter played the funniest

594
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 4: April Fools joke on me. We were We're all in

595
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 4: a group text and she and she said, and I

596
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 4: didn't realize it was April Fools. When she did this,

597
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 4: and she goes, Mom, I have to tell you now.

598
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 4: They they gave me the green light to tell you.

599
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 4: But they contact me two months ago and I'm going

600
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 4: on Bachelor in Paradise with you. They want a mother

601
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 4: daughter thing and I and I believed her and I

602
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 4: was jumping up and down and I couldn't believe it,

603
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh my god, this is the best news.

604
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 4: And then she's like, mom, April fools. And I'm like,

605
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 4: cause I was getting carried away. I was like planning,

606
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 4: you know. But yeah, my kids, Yeah, they're they're they're

607
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 4: big supporters of mine, and I think I could probably

608
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 4: do no wrong in their eyes.

609
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 3: So yeah, for the guys going on Bachelor in Paradise

610
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 3: who are potentially listening to this podcast right now and

611
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 3: are interested in you, what advice would you give them

612
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 3: to try to, you know, date you.

613
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 4: I would say, don't get to uh clinging too bad?

614
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 6: Okay, be funny, make me laugh, and uh, you know,

615
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 6: just be yourself really and just don't try too hard,

616
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 6: because because I can always tell when someone's trying too hard,

617
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 6: I guess that's what.

618
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 2: Your advice have been.

619
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 5: When if you got asked that question before you were

620
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 5: going on our season ah, and they were like, Joe,
