So we decided 36 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: to meet. He asked me to bring ear pods. Correct, 37 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: we bring Kathy along because Kathy can speak a little 38 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: bit of English, I actually, and Spanish and French. I said. 39 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: She could speak no, French a little bit, Spanish a 40 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: little bit, and English a little bit. 41 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I said, so she. 42 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: Helped with the introduction. He put the EarPods in our 43 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: ears and we were on our cell phones the whole 44 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: entire time. Kathy stayed but five ten minutes, had one drink, 45 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: and then she she left. She was comfortable, We were comfortable. 46 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: And no, I did not have a code word or 47 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: anything for Kathy to leave. As a matter of fact, 48 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: I wanted Kathy to stay a little longer, but she 49 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: was like, no, you two were doing your things. She goes, 50 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: and we were fine with that. So tell me about 51 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: the first time we met, when we were communicating with 52 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,119 Speaker 1: our iPhones. 53 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 2: It's a beautiful Roman. 54 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 3: Get the. 55 00:03:58,960 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 2: Aura. 56 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 4: I know. 57 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: I have a good moment in your company.

No, not necessarily. 63 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: The only reason I've brought my wing woman, if you 64 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: call it, is because of the language problem. No problem, 65 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: no problem. He can speak better English than I can French, 66 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: for sure.

He's sharing that you 173 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: don't choose to fall in love, that it just happens, 174 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: and if it happens to happen a long distance at 175 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: this stage of the game, at our age, I do 176 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: part two. It's okay. Either one of you can pick 177 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: up and go. It's not like we have full time 178 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 1: nine to five jobs anymore. We've raised our children, our 179 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: grandchildren are here at least for me, and you do 180 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: what you want ready from the every day. Every day 181 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: is a different day. So love is not sought, it's 182 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: simply found. That's why we say we fell in love. 183 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: We don't choose to fall and have romantic encounters. They're 184 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 1: just around the corner in a city far from home 185 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: or near home, So don't be shy, Get out there, 186 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: put yourself out there. If you're looking for love, be alive, 187 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: be where you are, and it's okay if it's not 188 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: in your backyard. Uh huh, he says, don't look she falls. 189 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: It is true that we can give love the opportunity 190 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: by meeting people or just moving around. You can find 191 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: love anywhere. Yes, he says. What I love about Susan, 192 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: do I really have to tell you is that when 193 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: you are near her, you see her, you talk to her, 194 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: she is captivating, her gaze, her smile, her aura, this 195 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: positivity that she excludes at every moment. And I'm not 196 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: talking about her physical assets like my ass, but I 197 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: think he likes my ants. You're so cute. So with 198 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: that being said, what else would you like to tell 199 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: people looking for love at the stage of the game 200 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: in your golden years? 201 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 2: Your choice, what you want, they want, what you go, 202 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 2: where you go? I go, Well, I wish you it's 203 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 2: my every day. 204 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: Okay. This is so beautiful, And even being married before, 205 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: I've never felt this kind of love before.

This part of 209 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: my life is so important because you're not looking for 210 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: the same as you were when you were forty years younger, 211 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: thirty years younger. Then you're looking to get married and 212 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: do have a family and children. We don't. We did 213 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: all that. Now, it's just about enjoying the last chapter, 214 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: if you will, of our lives and being happy. 215 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 2: Oh the Dessau in English, a measure of love is 216 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 2: to love without museum. 217 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: They're beautiful the French.

Everybody was excited about the 241 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: new Golden Bachelor. I'm sure the world is jumping up 242 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 1: and down can't wait to see them, and me too. 243 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch. And I keep in touch 244 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: with every everyone from my show from both shows now 245 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: after filming got to get out those people, oh my goodness, 246 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: there definitely became a part of my life, just like 247 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: the ladies on The Golden Bachelor, as well as Gary. 248 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 1: Gary and I still talk, but the people from got 249 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: to get out. So my most favorite person I can't 250 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: say that Bonnie and Clyde, if you will, would be 251 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 1: vow from Dancing with the Stars. He was my Clyde 252 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: and I was his Bonnie, and little Demi was my roommate. 253 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 1: And as you all know, I hope everybody listening has 254 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: watched the show, and I'm getting mail like crazy saying 255 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 1: why would you tell everybody your secret your exit strategy? 256 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 1: And I have to laugh because I was silly. But 257 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: there was a reason I say this because it was 258 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: very early in the show and I was not ready 259 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: to escape. But I thought by telling everyone my plan, 260 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 1: they would trust me. And if you continue to watch, 261 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: the things that happened were hysterical, but I no longer 262 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: told them when I had an escape strategy. With that 263 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: being said, I talked to every single one of them 264 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: almost daily in another text chain, if you will, and 265 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: there wasn't one person on there that I disliked. There 266 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: really wasn't. I loved all these people and being on 267 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: reality TV for me is just making more friends and 268 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: enjoying every single moment of knowing new personalities and new 269 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: destinations to go see people's I feel blessed, I really do. 270 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: But the biggest blessing of all, I don't care anything 271 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: about TV. Is this right here? 272 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 2: Okay? 273 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: For the escape? Still, when we first talked about the 274 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: Golden Paradise, I shared with him that, you know, I 275 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: might be going and what if I kiss another man 276 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 1: on TV? Remember what you said? You said, it's not 277 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: going to be fun to watch. But I know it's TV, right. 278 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: But I couldn't pick anybody. I wasn't interested, so I 279 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: had to be honest. 280 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 2: You do what you want. I did. 281 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 4: Just here, I am I won't you're yes, I am happy. 282 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: So he watched some of The Golden Right. You could 283 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: find that on the internet. However, I have not been 284 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 1: able to get Hulu here in Saint Martin, so he 285 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: has not seen the show. He saw clips, a lot 286 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: of clips from it, but I have to wait till 287 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: he comes to the United States for him to watch 288 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: the show. 289 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 2: Right. 290 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: I think the three days I had left here in 291 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: Saint Martin after we met, we spent every minute together 292 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: and he had said when will I see you?
