<v Speaker 2>Almost Famous to OG's. It is Bob and Trista and

0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Ladies and Gentlemen. We are recapping jones huge Golden Bacherette

0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:17.560
<v Speaker 2>finale last night. I mean, honestly, that was next level stuff.

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm so freaking happy for her. I just ye oh gosh,

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 3>I adore her and I I've been playing ketchup, so

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:34.840
<v Speaker 3>I haven't seen some of the episodes, but I watched.

0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>The finale last night because I feel like, I, you know, I.

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.240
<v Speaker 3>Had talked to her, so yeah, but I just want

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 3>to see, like what kind of transpired, what happened. But

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 3>I am just overall just so happy for her. I

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 3>feel like it came up numerous times throughout the season,

0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 3>where you know, and and she said on Golden Bachelor,

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 3>I feel invisible. I totally I related to that, even

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:05.560
<v Speaker 3>though I have not, thank god, lost a husband or

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:10.959
<v Speaker 3>a partner and am not as old as her. Although

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:15.679
<v Speaker 3>we are very close to we are very close. We

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 3>are very close.

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>We're closer to them.

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 3>Than we are to the Yeah you know, yeah exactly.

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 1>So you know, I.

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.080
<v Speaker 3>Heard her when she said she felt invisible. I heard

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:33.040
<v Speaker 3>her this season when she said that she felt like

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 3>she was being selfish by looking for somebody else to

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.759
<v Speaker 3>love in life, you know, and that she didn't want

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 3>to replace John. But but yet she felt guilty for

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 3>looking for somebody to make her happy for the rest

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 3>of her life. And that just makes me so sad

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 3>because I'm sure she is not alone. There have got

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 3>to be millions of people who feel that way.

0:01:58.920 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>That they feel like.

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 3>First of all, they don't deserve it for whatever reason,

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 3>which is so sad to me, And then that they

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 3>feel selfish, that they give of their life every day

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 3>to their family, to their job, to whatever, and that

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:18.799
<v Speaker 3>they don't feel like like they're like they're being selfish

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.080
<v Speaker 3>if they're looking for love again. So I love that

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 3>she found it.

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.840
<v Speaker 2>I know me too, I agree with you, I mean, Joan,

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 2>I think put a little bit of a magnifying glass

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.639
<v Speaker 2>on that for a lot of us, because you know,

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you hear about it with actresses, you hear

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 2>about it with you know, people that you know, when

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.080
<v Speaker 2>they reach a certain age, they feel like they've almost

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 2>been like pushed aside for the younger, you know, demographic

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 2>or whatever it might be. And she she kind of

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 2>put a little bit of a magnifying glass on that,

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>and to a certain degree, I think for me, even

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 2>made me think about my mom differently, Like I had

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 2>to look at my mom and go Oni and my

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 2>dad died a few years ago, and my mom, you know,

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.079
<v Speaker 2>she doesn't. I mean, she she's wonderful with my kids

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 2>and stuff like that, but that doesn't that's not how she,

0:02:58.160 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, has to live the rest of her life

0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 2>is being an on call babysitter, you know. And I

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.079
<v Speaker 2>mean don't even said that. She's like, I love my grandchildren,

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 2>but I want to do some things for myself still

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.240
<v Speaker 2>and not feel bad about it. And God bless her,

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 2>you know. I mean, I think I think the ending

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 2>was pretty spectacular. You know. I didn't feel like I

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 2>got to know Chalk at all throughout the course of

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 2>the season, so obviously I know he had left a

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 2>little bit, and I love that he came back, and

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 2>you know that she it was almost like a different

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Joan when he was around, you know, like you could tell,

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 2>like the other guys are cool too, and we've gotten

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 2>several of them from the show and stuff, but I

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 2>feel like he just brought out a sight of her

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 2>that it was pretty magic. You know, it was great

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 2>to see.

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 3>I do want to say though that so when I

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 3>had my like little coffee chat with her, she definitely

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 3>Chalk was was one of the one of the strongest

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 3>I feel like relationships at that time, and I think

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 3>it was it was before Hometowns, so there were actually

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 3>seven guys still when I talked to her. So I

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 3>know that Chalk was a was a she was having

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 3>strong feelings for him, but Pascal she was having very

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 3>strong feelings for as well. And I wonder what would

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 3>have happened if if Pascal hadn't left, you know. I

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 3>I think that it doesn't take away from the feelings

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 3>that she had for Chalk, and that she of course

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 3>has now for Chalk, but I just wonder, you know,

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.480
<v Speaker 3>what would have happened. And and that is just for

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 3>me to say. I hope that she doesn't hear this

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 3>because I don't want I wouldn't want to put that

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 3>into her head because I want her to just focus

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 3>on her relationship with Chalk. There's nothing you know there

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 3>with Pascal. But you know, part of me is just

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 3>a viewer, not as a as a friend, wonders, you know,

0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:53.359
<v Speaker 3>if Pascal had stayed and so it's it's just so hard.

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.719
<v Speaker 1>This show is just so crazy.

0:04:56.240 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 3>And and you know, I wonder how Chalk feels about that,

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, if if it's come up in conversation.

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it has because why wouldn't it.

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, and we all know too, we know better than anyone.

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 2>A lot of this stuff is editing too, you know,

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 2>like yeah, you know, they make it so that you're like,

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, and you just buy into the narrative

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 2>and then you're like, you know, she could be like, well, yeah,

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:18.839
<v Speaker 2>I was, I was, I was, I was. I was

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 2>feeling conflicted when Pascal left. But you know, Chocolate my

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 2>guy the whole time. You know why, I'm sure we'll

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 2>fight out a lot, you know, after it's all said

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.239
<v Speaker 2>and done. Well, I'm excited about Trista is that if

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.719

<v Speaker 2>to be there.

<v Speaker 1>I'm just so happy for her.

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 3>She you know, when we last talked, which was I

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.839
<v Speaker 3>think a week or two ago, she was just on

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 3>cloud nine.

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>She was. She's so happy.

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 3>I feel like she feels she feels like safe again.

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:38.279
<v Speaker 3>She feels like she can she can be happy. It's

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 3>not just about the other people in her world. It's

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.360
<v Speaker 3>about like her again. You know, she can she can

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 3>actually have individual happiness and not have to provide it

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 3>for everybody else, which I think is so beautiful.

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 2>I love it too. I love it too. No one

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:56.240
<v Speaker 2>deserves it, I mean, she deserves it.

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 3>Man.

0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:57.839
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say no one deserves this more and

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.719
<v Speaker 2>deserves it more, but I think it's better to say

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 2>she deserves it, and so does everyone who feels like her,

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, who's still young and heart and vibrant and

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 2>wants to get out there and find love. I mean,

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 2>love isn't just for young, dumb teenagers, right or whatever.

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 2>It's it's for everybody. And it's nice to know that,

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, you can find like that second shot at love,

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, after after you know the love of your

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.920
<v Speaker 2>life passes away, it's like you can get back out

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 2>there again. So I'm excited for her too.

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I love her.

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.520
<v Speaker 2>I think she's super nice and what a great choice.

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 2>I was a little surprised at the end they didn't

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.800
<v Speaker 2>announce a new Golden Bachelor or Bachelorette.

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 3>True story, well, they would, they would announce Golden Bachelor,

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 3>But for me, I just I wonder if first of all,

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 3>the network has to approve it, you know, I'm sure

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 3>they're in conversations with people. I don't have any inside

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 3>scoop there, but I wonder. I know that I saw

0:07:56.480 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 3>on social Charles was being discussed. He's the adorable Asian man.

0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh. I love him, like I just want

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 1>to wrap him. I just he's so cute. And then Mark,

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure.

0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 3>Is in contention considering he's Kelsey's dad and he's you know,

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 3>part of the franchise, and I think he has a

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 3>big following in Bachelor Nation already from Joey's season. So

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 3>there's Mark, there's Pascal, which he would be like, you know,

0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 3>all the bells and whistles, and you know, he doesn't

0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.440
<v Speaker 3>hold back. He's walking around in his tidy whities on camera, like.

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:45.079
<v Speaker 2>I saw that they might not be able to contain him.

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:50.640
<v Speaker 3>For you know, but I think, you know, people people

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.320
<v Speaker 3>like that I loved. I think Jonathan, the one who

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 3>wore the bow tie without a shirt underneath his tuxedo.

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 3>He just was so beautifully vulnerable and it seemed like

0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 3>ready for a relationship. And then guy, you know, I

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:09.599
<v Speaker 3>know he's good. He had he was in the headlines,

0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, for a restraining order. Joan explained it to me,

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:18.280
<v Speaker 3>and I really don't. I don't think all the drama

0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.560
<v Speaker 3>around it is as big of a deal as of

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 3>course the media makes it out to be. So sure,

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 3>there's a lot of good guys. But one question I

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 3>have for you, what do you think? What would you

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 3>think about if they did a Golden Bachelor in Paradise?

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, I have thought about that. I feel like

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 2>we talked about it a few times. I'm not sure

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:46.680
<v Speaker 2>I would be able to unsee that. And I don't

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 2>mean that like in a bad way. I just mean it,

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 2>like I think, you know, part of me thinks that

0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 2>what they've done so beautifully with the Golden Series so

0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 2>far has been the casting has been the lack of

0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 2>manufactured drama, you know. And yeah, I'm joking about of

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 2>course I could. You know, I have no problem watching it,

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.360
<v Speaker 2>but I feel like I feel like that would cheapen

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:10.000
<v Speaker 2>it to me. And I don't know why I feel

0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:13.320
<v Speaker 2>that way, but my I love in the integrity of

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 2>how I look at this show right now, which is

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.680
<v Speaker 2>everyone gets along there, you know. I feel like Bachelor

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 2>in Paradise and that whole thing is a little rooted

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 2>in a little more of the backbiting, conniving stuff, you know. Yeah,

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.120
<v Speaker 2>And I don't mean that for everyone, but that's just

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.920
<v Speaker 2>my high level, thirty thousand foot view, and I just

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.320
<v Speaker 2>see these people differently, I really do.

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, No, I tend to agree.

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.240
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I wonder if there's a way that

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:44.080
<v Speaker 3>they could do it without it being like salacious, you know,

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:49.480
<v Speaker 3>where it's still because listen, the bottom line of Bachelor

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 3>in Paradise is that all kinds of people from the

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 3>from the show that we've known all the shows can

0:10:56.160 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 3>come together and people can meet, you know, on camera,

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:04.840
<v Speaker 3>of course, but in a in an environment where we

0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:06.960
<v Speaker 3>can introduce people from different.

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Shows to each other. Right, So it.

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 3>Would be like bringing Golden Bachelorette and Golden Bachelor together

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.960
<v Speaker 3>in a way, but maybe not do it salaciously, Like

0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.360
<v Speaker 3>maybe it's not on the beach. Maybe it's you know,

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 3>not in tidy whities and speedo's, you know.

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I guess we're gonna find out in due time,

0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 2>because it's going to be it's going to be a

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:30.440
<v Speaker 2>great one if it happened, all.
