And you know, 87 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,239 Speaker 3: Teresa and I were really good friends in the house, 88 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 3: so we after the initial getting home and whatever we did, 89 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 3: actually she invited me to the wedding. She called me 90 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 3: up and invited me to the wedding and yeah, and 91 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 3: she really wanted me there, and so after that, you know, 92 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 3: we kind of fell back into how we were in 93 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 3: the house, and you know, we were really close and yeah, 94 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 3: so it wasn't like a shock like everyone else got 95 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 3: shocked because I kind of, you know, heard things. But 96 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 3: I was shocked initially, like really, I mean, yeah, I 97 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 3: kept saying, why did you get married? 98 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 5: I know, were you hearing things or were you witnessing 99 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 5: things when you saw them together? 100 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 3: No, I wasn't really witnessing it, per se. I was 101 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 3: hearing things, and I guess, you know what, I guess 102 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 3: they weren't. I didn't feel like they were as close 103 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 3: as I would think they should be when we got 104 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 3: together in person, I could see a little space between 105 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 3: them and stuff, you know, so I felt, you know, 106 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 3: like it was maybe not working. 107 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be interesting in the Golden and I want 108 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 2: to hear your thoughts on it. I'm saying, and it's interesting. 109 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: I want to hear your opinion. It'll be interesting now 110 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 2: as the Golden franchise continues if the show also tries 111 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 2: to do these expedited weddings like they did. I mean, 112 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: they did it with Trista and Ryan when I was 113 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 2: a bachelor. They attempted to do it with me. The 114 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 2: problem was we weren't together, so it didn't really work 115 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: out that well for them. 116 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 3: It's the problem. 117 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder just in general, if the show would 118 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 2: be better off doing this, like a year later, giving 119 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 2: it the time to kind of settle out, shake up, 120 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 2: but they tried to make it so fast that it 121 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 2: feels like it puts too much pressure on these couples. 122 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, it's saying it was ended differently, and 123 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: Gary had picked me, I would have absolutely no way 124 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 3: agreed to that. I just know I would have not 125 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 3: done it. 126 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: If they say here's a million dollars to get married, 127 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 2: she's like, well, darn. 128 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 4: You would have been a million. 129 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 2: I know if it was because that has been a 130 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: number number that used to be used with these weddings. 131 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 2: They said, here's a million dollars, and we're going to 132 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 2: cover your wedding and cover the expenses of your family 133 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 2: and friends getting there. You just have to get married, 134 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: like two months after this thing stops airing. You would 135 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 2: have said, no, it's hard. 136 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 3: It's a hard question. I mean, yeah, who doesn't want 137 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 3: a million dollars? But who wants a third divorce? That's 138 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 3: not my goal in life. 139 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 5: Okay, Well, it's only five hundred thousand after taxes, so 140 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 5: I wouldn't. 141 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 4: I don't know if I would do it for. 142 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 3: That, I don't know. I mean I would try to, yeah, 143 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 3: hopefully make money another way. I don't know, I just 144 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 3: or negotiate for further, like can we do it in 145 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 3: eight months? You know? I just I feel it's just 146 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 3: too soon. And you know, it's too soon something you know, 147 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 3: most really to get engaged, and then it's too soon 148 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 3: to get married, you know. I mean unless you are 149 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 3: at love at first sight and you fall in love 150 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 3: and and no, I mean you know that this is 151 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 3: my this is my person.

They literally are 180 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: together doing their things all the time. 181 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 5: They just had something done together as well. 182 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 4: They're gonna tell us about that. 183 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 3: These they have some alls, man, I like, yeah. 184 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 2: And energy, energy that does not exist by any other 185 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 2: human at any age. 186 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 3: The two putting that out there for the world to see. 187 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 3: I give them so much credit, you know, I mean, 188 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 3: but I think that we all have our lane. Like 189 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 3: I would feel really weird doing that, but it wasn't 190 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 3: weird for them to do it. You know what I'm saying, like, 191 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 3: I think we all have our lane, and I think 192 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 3: we all have our following, and we are trying to 193 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 3: cater to those people. And you know, so I think 194 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 3: it's cool. I mean, we each have we all have 195 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 3: different steg of you know, people that are fans, and 196 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 3: I like that. 197 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 2: It's fun to see. 198 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. 199 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 5: So I know that when Joan was announced as the Bachelorrette, 200 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 5: it was like lots of positive responses. She's done a 201 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 5: great job. But I think there was a lot of 202 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 5: people surprised that it wasn't you. How did those talks 203 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,719 Speaker 5: go with them? Assuming there was them, I. 204 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 3: Didn't have any talks. 205 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 2: With them, shocking to me. That's surprising to me that 206 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 2: there wasn't a conversation with you on would you even 207 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 2: be interested in this? And if so, how you know, 208 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 2: how do you want this to work? And there was 209 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 2: never the initial phone call because when you know, in 210 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: the bachelor world, when you're a bachelor, you're talking to 211 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 2: the person they probably are going to choose, but also 212 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 2: two or three others just to kind of have some 213 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 2: people on the bench in cases. 214 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 3: I heard that. I heard that I kept waiting, but 215 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 3: you know, I think they had something else in mind 216 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 3: for me, and it didn't pan out at the final hour, 217 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 3: so it was a little disappointing because I was waiting 218 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 3: and waiting. 219 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 5: Can you give us any insight as to what that 220 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 5: could have been? Yeah, maybe like a dancing show. 221 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, maybe Dancing with the Stars. 222 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's what they had from me. And 223 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 3: you know, I had an interview with Dancing with the 224 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 3: Stars and I was kind of. 225 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 2: Waiting, Yeah, fun to see you on that. I think 226 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 2: it would have been really good for you, but also 227 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 2: for kind of the fans of the Golden franchise to 228 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 2: see you again representing them. 229 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean I love again. I'm a huge 230 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 3: fan of Dancing with the Stars and I watch it 231 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 3: every single year. And when I had my interview, I 232 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 3: just said, I want to be your oldest winner. I 233 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 3: want to be our oldest winner, and not to say 234 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 3: that I was going to be. I mean, it's really 235 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 3: hard to complete compete with twenty nineteen year olds, you know. 236 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 3: But I had the scamina, I have the drive. I've 237 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 3: been training my whole life. 238 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 7: For this, and there's it never gets past the older people, 239 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 7: like the older people never advance, and it would it 240 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 7: would have been nice to have somebody represent the older relation, 241 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 7: you know, because there baby bloomers are. 242 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 3: We're it right now? You know? So yeah, but maybe someday. 243 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 3: I don't know. 244 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,599 Speaker 5: If given the chance, would you have preferred Danjumin the 245 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 5: Stars over the Golden Bachelorette role. 246 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 2: Just fits you more? I mean was it? Would it 247 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 2: got you more excited or fit you more? 248 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 3: It's it's it was a perfect It would have been 249 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 3: a perfect for me. I think that. I'm not saying 250 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 3: I would have turned the Golden Bats aer down. I wouldn't. 251 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 3: I don't think I would have. I just think that 252 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 3: Dancing of the Stars would have shown who I really am, 253 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 3: you know. I mean, they really have a chance to 254 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 3: show who they really are and not the one dimensional 255 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 3: person you see forty five minutes a week. Because our 256 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 3: show was so short, you know, you know, I really 257 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 3: wanted for the country to kind of like get to 258 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 3: know me, you know, and who I am. 259 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 5: Do you possibly think that Jen took your spot last minute? 260 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 8: You know, I don't because I know that I don't know, 261 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 8: but I don't think so because I think they I 262 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 8: know that they took from fourteen people to twelve, and 263 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 8: Jen was an add on she made thirteen, so I 264 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 8: think she was last minute. 265 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, she definitely deserved it. And I 266 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 3: was just there last week and watched her dance. She 267 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 3: was phenomenal, and Teresa and I went there together rooting 268 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 3: Joe and jen On and it was phenomenal. But it 269 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 3: was really hard for me to sit there going, oh, 270 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 3: you know, you know, yeah, I don't know. I don't 271 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 3: know who took my spot, but you know, maybe it 272 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 3: was Anna what the ankle bracelet, I don't know. 273 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. See, that's what I was thinking, is there's some 274 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 2: people this season where it'd been really fun to see 275 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 2: you step into that. I do think three Bachelor contestants 276 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 2: probably was an issue for them, and at some level 277 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 2: that was the conversation that they had was three people, 278 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 2: as much as it would be fun to see that. 279 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 2: So who knows, the future still could be there where 280 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 2: maybe they don't have a Bachelor bachelorette, maybe fits the 281 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 2: Dancing with the Stars world and they say come on 282 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 2: back and yeah, and we'd be excited here. 283 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 3: I would. It would be my dream come sure, But 284 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 3: you know, I kind of stopped, kind of have to 285 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 3: stay relevant, and I don't know how that's going to happen. 286 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 3: But you know, you just don't. I just don't know 287 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 3: what's going to happen in the future. But you know, 288 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 3: it was I got in shape and I worked out 289 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 3: really hard this summer, you know, and it was, Yeah, 290 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 3: it was. It was exciting to think that it was 291 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 3: going to happen. So maybe, yeah, I know. 292 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 5: How you could stay relevant, how you could date one 293 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 5: of the guys on Jones season, like maybe Jordan. 294 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 4: He's really cute. 295 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 3: That was that was really good. That was good. Sneaky 296 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 3: little girl.

Would you want to get married again 460 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 5: or would you just companions for life? 461 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 3: That's a hard question. I think I would want to 462 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 3: marry the right person. I know that, I mean, but 463 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 3: I want that companion as well.

But 497 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 3: that would be hard, but you know, so it would be, 498 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 3: and it kind of would depend on where my life 499 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 3: was at that time. If I'm say I might want. 500 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 2: To, Yeah, don't let the negative opinions of others ever 501 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 2: ever stop you from doing something. It over time and 502 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 2: it becomes you know nothing in your life no matter what. 503 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, Natalie's had to tuck me off the cliffs sometimes, 504 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 3: and she really put it to me, like where I 505 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 3: could understand. She goes, there are millions of people that 506 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 3: watch a show, and the fraction that are commenting are 507 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 3: like a pin head. And that really helped me because 508 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 3: I've watched the show my whole life and I've. 509 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 4: Never taken written in under the body's picture. 510 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 3: I wouldn't even think about it or my friends wouldn't, 511 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 3: so so that really helped me, and that really put 512 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 3: me put the whole thing in perspective. 513 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 5: So, yeah, if this show does happen, we kind of 514 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 5: can assume that Jordan would have been be on your 515 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 5: list as the guy that you'd want to see there.
