Speaker 1: the lovely couple Joanan Chok for part two. Welcome back guys,

Speaker 2: Absolutely so.

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 3: We finished off our last episode by you guys letting

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 3: us know that you're going to be coming to New York.

8
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 3: You're going to be seeing some places this weekend, and

9
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 3: then you're going to spend some time here over the holidays.

10
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 4: Which areas of New York are you interested in?

11
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 2: So?

12
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 5: I think we're looking on the west side, but you know,

13
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 5: we are kind of open. I don't think we're like

14
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 5: the young crowd that would be over in Brookland, So

15
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 5: I think we stay on the other side of the bridge,

16
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 5: but we're actually staying on the east side this time.

17
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 5: So we're gonna explore that a little bit. And then

18
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 5: I think, I like, my love is the west side.

19
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 5: But you know, we're open. We want to be able

20
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 5: to walk to things, we want to be able to

21
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 5: walk out. He's from Kansas, he needs some city life

22
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 5: in him, and we want to be able to walk

23
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 5: out of our place and be like in the you know,

24
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 5: the midst of Kings.

25
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 4: We like that.

26
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: In our last episode we were talking about the finale

27
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: in Chack. You seem to be pretty calm, cool and collected,

28
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: and I wanted, how old are you?

29
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: Sixty one? And actually, I want to go on record,

30
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: I am younger than Joan, So I'm a bad that

31
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 2: likes actually older women.

32
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 4: Yeah much.

33
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 5: I'm also sixty one, but I.

34
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: Do have an older one, and I'm like, I do, Jack.

35
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: Do you think yourself at thirty years old would have

36
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: been is calm with another guy potentially getting down on one.

37
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: Knee if I was like in second place, not.

38
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: If you were insane, but just because because the scenario,

39
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: you seem to really just be very confident, and I

40
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: think it was it was really Claire that Joan truly

41
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: loved you, but there still was another guy there, so

42
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: you didn't know, like you true, like you may have

43
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 1: been ninety percent sure, but there was still ten percent

44
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: that it could be someone else.

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: I do want to start this. My response back is saying,

46
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: guy is a fantastic person. The guy's got class. He

47
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: has handled this so well. He and I talk every week.

48
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: I only have positive things to say about him. And

49
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 2: he cared for Joe. He really did. That was true.

50
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: He had strong feelings for so I feel for him

51
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: and I've got to be respectful. But also he's just

52
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 2: he's a friend of mine, and that's a tough thing,

53
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: and you know, you don't see that normal world. But

54
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: we've been able to maintain our friendship. We talk. He's

55
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: just a good, solid person and I support him one

56
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: hundred percent my thirty year old self. I've kind of

57
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 2: been this way my whole life. Yeah, And I don't

58
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: get real excited when I do. You know, it's pretty rare,

59
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: and I try to think through situations and and you

60
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: know it's some people like that, other people don't. I

61
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: don't really have a lot of emotions like some people

62
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: are very emotional. Jonathan very emotional guy, just very lovable,

63
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: but you know, he's got he's got some history, but

64
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: he's got those emotions that he wears on his sleeve,

65
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: and I just kind of keep everything in. I've been

66
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: that way my whole life, and my father's tried to

67
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: work with me on that, but you know, we are

68
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: who we are. But I was very happy with how

69
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 2: it turned out. I can't tell you how graceful i'd

70
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: be if I would have lost, and I say lost

71
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: but didn't get jooned. So again, guy deserves a lot

72
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: of credit. He is a really solid person.

73
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: How did you How did you get on the show

74
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: in the first place?

75
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: My daughter and what had happened there is I understand

76
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: and correct me if I'm wrong, that you can self

77
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: apply or somebody can nominate you. My daughter calls me

78
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: and she says, Dad, I did something. I don't know

79
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: if you're going to be happy, and I'm thinking she

80
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: quit her job, you know, whatever happened. And her girlfriend

81
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: she lived with was in a sorority and her senior year,

82
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: nine of them moved out into a house one of

83
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: her girlfriends from that house calder and said living in

84
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: I don't know what city, but just said I saw

85
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: a casting advertisement. Your dad would be perfect for this.

86
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: So my daughter goes in and she applies, like she's.

87
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 4: Me, oh, so to nominate you. She applied, as you know, and.

88
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 2: So something's come up on that is there's a little

89
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: story going around that I'm not as funny as my

90
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: daughter thought I really was. But yeah, it was like.

91
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 3: The application and we're just not adding up. Something's off here,

92
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 3: and well, yeah, that was my daughter actually.

93
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: Yes, so it's a good story. I would have never

94
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: have done this on my own, no way, no way,

95
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: and that just wasn't something I would do. But hey,

96
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: it happened. Things happen, and that's you know. Love just

97
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: comes in different ways, you know, and you can fall

98
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: in love on a first date. You could know someone

99
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 2: for ten or twenty years of just different things happen.

100
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: But I'm very happy. But my daughter to answered that question,

101
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: she's the one that got me going on this and

102
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: then the I never thought that I'd get on the show,

103
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: and I kept saying, why is the guy from Kansas?

104
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: Why are they interested in this guy from Kansas? But

105
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: I do think that the casting company did such a

106
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: great job to bring twenty four different personalities that it

107
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 2: was really unique. And that was a blessing for me,

108
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: is to get to know, you know, really fifteen sixteen

109
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: of the guys because the first guys that left the

110
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: first night, you just didn't have an opportunity. Rjie, nice

111
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: guy was in the in the limo with me, but

112
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 2: you just you have a quick conversation and that's it.

113
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 2: So I felt for those guys because they didn't have

114
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: a chance to really let the fans see who they

115
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: are and see their personality.

116
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: With all those big personalities. Joan, do you remember chox

117
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: Lama entrance?

118
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 6: Oh my god, perfectly? Yeah, yeah, middle soup. I mean,

119
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 6: how can you ever forget chocol the noodle soup? And

120
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 6: it was good. I do understand he did actually make it, but.

121
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 2: I love it afterwards though I did.

122
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 6: It, doesn't want to make it, but not to me.

123
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 5: That so that like he knew that I had done

124
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 5: a a video on TikTok that had kind of gone viral.

125
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 6: I know, I had like three million views.

126
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 5: So the fact that he had taken the time to

127
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 5: know that I did that and then to use that

128
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 5: like to kind of get to know me or to

129
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 5: create some kind of rapport. And he also knew all

130
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 5: four of my kids' names, and that just showed me that,

131
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 5: like he was really serious about this process. So I

132
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,559
Speaker 5: remember his limit entrance perfectly, although I have to say

133
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 5: I remember them all really really well. For some reason,

134
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 5: that night really sticks in my head very vividly.

135
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 4: Have you made him your your chicken noodle soup yet?

136
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 6: We have not done it.

137
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 5: But yeah, it's getting to be winter, so that that's

138
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 5: that's going to be on the menu.

139
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 6: I think you might do a cook off. I think

140
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 6: that that is really good, and I know mine is good.

141
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: So he Actually we cooked very well together. We compliment

142
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: each other. One will cook one night, the other will

143
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 2: do the dishes. We'll each do. She'll prepare the salad,

144
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 2: I'll do the meat. So a lot of fun, and

145
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: that's just part of being a couple and then finding

146
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 2: out what the other person likes. We just align. I'm

147
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: kind of a big eater and Jones a nibbler.

148
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 5: Yes, but we both like to drink wine, so that

149
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 5: looks great.

150
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 3: Joan, if you were to be the vachrette when you

151
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: were thirty years old, how do you think you would

152
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: have handled the process differently back then than you did today?

153
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 6: Gosh, I can't even imagine that in my mind. So,

154
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 6: first of all, I was really shy.

155
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 5: I was like a math heard honestly all through high

156
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 5: school and even into college. I didn't kind of come

157
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 5: into my own until my senior year of college.

158
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 6: I was a computer science major.

159
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 5: I was a math minor, so I was a nerd,

160
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 5: and I didn't until actually my junior year in college,

161
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 5: I joined.

162
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 6: A sorority and that got me way cooler.

163
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 5: So I can't imagine even by the time I was

164
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 5: in my thirties, although at that point I was married

165
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 5: and had four kids, I can't imagine me having the

166
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 5: confidence to do this.

167
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 6: This takes a lot of confidence.

168
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 5: You have to be able to like the conversations are

169
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 5: deep and the emotions are high, and it takes a

170
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 5: you know, a level of maturity.

171
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 6: I'm very impressed in like.

172
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 5: You guys, the way that you navigate this, because I

173
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 5: found it very hard.

174
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 4: Oh it's hard, if I.

175
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: Could say too, is Joan handled this with so much class?

176
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: She did, And it's tough with with people that you

177
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: like and you want to respect them, letting them go.

178
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: And I was very impressed. I never and I lived

179
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: this from day one to the last day. I never

180
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: saw any rudeness, pettiness, anything at all. And it was

181
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 2: just handled with so much class that very few people

182
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: could do. And I think that's one of the reasons

183
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: she was the Golden Bachelorette. Is they knew she would

184
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 2: handle these situations because there were really good guys on

185
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: this show. And it's it's tough. It's really tough. I

186
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: could see in her eyes at the Rose ceremonies.

187
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's not even easy letting people go. But

188
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, you got.

189
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 6: The journey. You can only leave the one.

190
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 4: You can only leave the one.

191
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: Have you guys, so obviously you know when after the engagement,

192
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, the question is, have you guys talked about marriage,

193
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: which we'll get we'll get into before we get into

194
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: two marriage. What are the what do the holidays look

195
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:14,840

00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving and Christmas, we're gonna do that. Right after Christmas,

200
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: we go to uh, New York City. In December, we're

201
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: going to be in New York City. Then we start

202
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: doing some traveling. We've got four big trips coming up

203
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five, so it's going to be a

204
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: busy year. That's just what we know of right now.

205
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,200

207
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: and then we go to the Caribbean at the end

208
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,040

00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: we're doing. Well.

210
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 5: We're in New York obviously, so we're gonna spend some

211
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 5: time there. Yeah, and those are the three that we

212
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 5: like are already kind of planned and so like, you know,

213
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 5: we're lucky. That's the whole thing about like the Gold

214
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 5: Season is that you know you have time and you

215
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 5: have resources now, so you know, you know, Chalk isn't retired,

216
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 5: but he can leave his business that runs pretty well

217
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 5: without him as long as he's just kind of some oversight.

218
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 5: And I have taken a leave of absence, so I'm

219
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 5: currently not working, and like we can now kind of

220
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 5: concentrate on our relationship and that's really important, I feel

221
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 5: like in the beginning, so having like a great time

222
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,120

Speaker 1: you differently?

237
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 2: So the filming when I left and I was gone

238
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: a week before seeing my mother. So when I got back,

239
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: they go, can you go away? There's some places running

240
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 2: well without you. And I've got a management team and

241
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: they're doing great. I've got i say, a young man,

242
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: but a thirty year old gentleman that wants to take

243
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: the business and run and so you know, it's what

244
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: I've done. The other thing is I would drive Joan

245
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: absolutely crazy if I was retired. I need something to do,

246
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 2: and that works well. So I like to get up.

247
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: I get up early every morning and uh but no,

248
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: it's it's going well. I couldn't you know, I couldn't

249
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: ask for anything else.

250
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 1: Have So have you guys had the marriage discussion yet?

251
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

252
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,599
Speaker 6: He asked me, like every day, well why don't we

253
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 6: get married?

254
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: Okay, get married?

255
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, everybody's following.

256
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: Me thing about women that don't want to marry me,

257
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 2: and this is a good time for me to clarify this.

258
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 2: Some of the heat that I've taken is the relationship

259
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: that I had with Kathy is some of the fans go, well,

260
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: he's got commitment issues. I was with Kathy for nine

261
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: years and we got engaged two or three years into it.

262
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 2: She was very and I supported this. She was very adamant.

263
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: She had kids in high school or grade school. Actually

264
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: we met through high school or upper school. And she goes,

265
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: we're going to get the kids out of school. We're

266
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: going to get the kids out of school. We didn't

267
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: live together, and she goes, when that happens, we'll get married.

268
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: And then she got sick. So, you know, a lot

269
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 2: of people there's a backstory to that. And I supported

270
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 2: Kathy one hundred percent on that. And her husband was

271
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: very involved with raising the kids, and she goes, just

272
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: those dynamics, we just don't need to do it. And

273
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: I was a single father. My ex wife, you know,

274
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 2: lived in another state. So it actually worked out very

275
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 2: well and we got to see each other a lot.

276
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: So it's a little non traditional, but I didn't want

277
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: to say that. Trust me, I would have married her.

278
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 2: And with doan, I said, and when are we getting married?

279
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 2: She's like, well, little.

280
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 5: That first day when we came into the room, where

281
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 5: in these like so let's get to know each other.

282
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 5: And then the next question was when are we getting married.

283
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 5: I mean, certainly it's on the table, like we are

284
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 5: going to get married. I'm just not like totally sure.

285
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 5: There's a part of me that like, once all of this,

286
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 5: like we've been really busy, you know, obviously during this

287
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 5: we do a lot of press after you know, you leave,

288
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 5: and we'll probably have a bunch of press, you know

289
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 5: now for at least a few more weeks.

290
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 6: And I think I just want to.

291
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 5: Be like us for a little while without having to

292
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 5: plan something big or having anything. I just want to

293
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 5: like live and be us and meet each other's friends

294
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 5: and go out for dinner and take some vacations. But

295
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 5: then I do want to get married, and we've got

296
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 5: to see what that looks like. If we want to

297
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 5: do an intimate wedding, or if we want to do

298
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 5: a big one, or if we want to do a

299
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 5: maatro nation wedding, all of those look a little different.

300
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 5: So I think we need to have our time kind

301
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 5: of outside of bachel nation bubble and you know, get

302
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 5: to be a couple.

303
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 6: For a little while before we start making these big plans.

304
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 2: We are going to guarantee that.

305
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 4: Yeah times like I am married, I mean.

306
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 6: Like I've had thoughts in my mind like let's just.

307
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: Go do it.

308
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: But you know, well, the guys, we'll make it special.

309
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 4: Nice.

310
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: I think that's the thing is is making it special

311
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: because it is very unique. But the other thing is

312
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: we're in our sixties and there's really no rush, there's

313
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: not a so we'll navigate all that. The love is

314
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: there and it's going to happen. Trust me, that's my prediction.

315
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 4: I think you predict right. We're excited for you guys.

316
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: Chock. What's one thing you wish the audience knew about

317
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: you from watching this show that they may not have

318
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: picked up during your time on the show.

319
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: What I would say is, looking back through the episodes,

320
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: is the relationships that I had with the other men,

321
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: And for whatever reason, you know, they're filming so much

322
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 2: is it really showed me very little interaction with the

323
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: other guys. And Keith was you know, he was loved

324
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: by everyone. I mean he was always he just had

325
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: more energy. I'm a little bit more reserved guy. Was

326
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: you know, the guys in my room. Gary very outgoing,

327
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: but we had a lot of interactions. It just didn't

328
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 2: make it to film. But that's between us, that's the guys.

329
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: We know our relationships with each other.

330
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Joan, you did such a wonderful, wonderful job as

331
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: the bachelor at I mean, you really did. What advice

332
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: would you give the next lead?

333
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 6: Hmmm?

334
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 5: Uh, well, so I got advice command to show, which

335
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 5: I followed, which was very helpful.

336
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 6: And then I kind of have my own.

337
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 5: And that is you have to go in being really

338
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 5: open and vulnerable because you have to set the stage.

339
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 5: You have to show like that this is this is

340
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 5: what you have to do to make this work. You

341
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 5: can't go in and have superficial conversations and you know.

342
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 6: Fun, It's not all about being you know, having fun.

343
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 5: Fun times are important, but it's about having this important

344
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 5: conversations to see that you align on you know, values

345
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 5: and that you know you see the next part of

346
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 5: your life is in a similar way, you know, you

347
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 5: have to look to the future to make sure it's

348
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 5: going to work, otherwise there's no reason to be here.

349
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 6: Personally. I came in with.

350
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 5: This preconceived notion of how it was going to go,

351
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 5: and that was completely different. I came in thinking that

352
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 5: I was totally ready, that this was going to be

353
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 5: kind of an analytical process, you know, I you know,

354
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 5: I was going to analyze each guy and our interactions

355
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 5: and picture if I could live with them. And it

356
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 5: became way more emotional than I expected, and it, you know,

357
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 5: for a lot of different means reasons, one of them

358
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 5: being that, you know, I struggled a little bit with

359
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 5: figuring out how to get through the whole John thing.

360
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 5: I didn't realize that I hadn't really mourned completely and

361
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 5: I hadn't figured out how to get past that, and

362
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 5: that took a little bit of time.

363
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 6: And also like how hard it was.

364
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 5: Going to be to let the guys leave, you know,

365
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 5: to send them home. That was particularly difficult, more than expected,

366
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 5: and I expected it to be really hard. So I think, like,

367
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 5: if I was going to give somebody advice, you know,

368
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 5: just let it unfold the way it's organically supposed to

369
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 5: and don't come in with prep, you know, this preconceived

370
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 5: notions or how well you think it's going to work

371
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 5: based on having watched the show.

372
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we did see a lot of your grieving process

373
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: through this journey of your late husband. What did this

374
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 3: process teach you about what it means to kind of

375
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 3: date someone new after the loss of a spouse.

376
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 2: If I can real quick, somebody kind of experienced this

377
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: as well. I anticipated this if she, if she Joan

378
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 2: was really interested in someone, because it's a breaking point

379
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 2: where you have this history and you're going, I'm moving forward.

380
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 2: So when Joe came in the one episode and she

381
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: sat down with us and she goes, you know, I'm

382
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: just struggling this. My mother's not feeling well, it's John.

383
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 2: I knew where she was coming from, and it is

384
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 2: it's a point where you're not taking the memory away,

385
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 2: but you're moving on. And whether it happened before the

386
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: show or during the show, I was anticipating it because

387
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: I've been through the same thing.

388
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 5: And I think what I learned from it was that,

389
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 5: like I didn't actually have to move on, you know,

390
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 5: in completely. So I had this thought that for me

391
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 5: to move on, I would have to completely let go

392
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 5: of John, and I just didn't feel ready to do that.

393
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 5: I don't think I would ever have been ready to

394
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 5: do that. And I finally was relieved of that that

395
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 5: notion that like I had to do that, like I was,

396
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 5: you know, I met with the psychiatrists in the show,

397
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 5: psychiatrists who told me that you don't have to let

398
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 5: go of somebody to love somebody else, like he will

399
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 5: always be part of your life. You will always be,

400
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 5: you know, in your heart, and there's enough room in

401
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 5: your heart for somebody else.

402
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 6: And I just never had any therapy. So after John

403
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 6: passed away, it was during COVID and I looked for

404
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 6: like a group that I could be part of. I

405
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 6: didn't really just necessarily want to see a therapist.

406
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 5: I wanted to see how other people were navigating life

407
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 5: like that were my age and had experienced this, and

408
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 5: I couldn't find one at all. I found groups for

409
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 5: older adults, you know, people in their eighties and nineties

410
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 5: who maybe you know, weren't necessarily you know, have you know,

411
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 5: as much life if I had, as I still have

412
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 5: ahead of me. And so I never worked through.

413
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 6: This until I got on the show.

414
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 5: But then I finally did. So the journey was different

415
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 5: than I would have thought it was going to be.

416
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 5: But when I learned that I didn't have to leave

417
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 5: John behind too, and I could still love somebody else,

418
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 5: it was so freeing. It was like such a cathartic

419
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 5: moment that I could finally figure out how to.

420
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 6: Work this journey.

421
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you guys ever wonder what would have happened

422
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: if you met in the real world and never went

423
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: on the show. Do you think it could have worked?

424
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

425
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

426
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 2: I've said this earlier that if I was let's say,

427
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 2: in DC or Maryland living or working there, if I

428
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: would have met joan same result. I mean it at the.

429
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 5: Time, but I don't think that never would have happened.

430
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 5: I mean, like I for Maryland, I don't think our

431
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 5: past would have ever crossed. I can't ever in a

432
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 5: million years, you know, figure out how that would have happened.

433
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 5: So like this was meant to be, Like we ended

434
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 5: up on this journey together for a reason.

435
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, how is it watching back? You're now fiance date

436
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 3: all these other.

437
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 4: Jesus, he didn't watch the show.

438
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: You said it in such a happy way, Hey, Chuck, also.

439
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 4: Raise that a little bit nicer.

440
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: That's the ten thousand dollars question. And it didn't bother

441
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 2: me at all. But she did kiss seven guys.

442
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 6: I think.

443
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: There was a post, so I think your daughter said

444
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: you kissed seven guys, somebody was keeping tracking. It's just

445
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: it's the journey. And even without the show, we both

446
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 2: dated before we went on the show. I mean that

447
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 2: was and you do that and no problem at all.

448
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: The great thing of this is I know the guys

449
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 2: and good guys, you know, very good men. So uh

450
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: you know what I there were some guys on there

451
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 2: that I thought, I mean it was competition not between us,

452
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 2: but I go are good people. These are really good

453
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: men that I could. You know, I could see Joan

454
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 2: or somebody else having a relationship a future.

455
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: With Have you have either of you played matchmaker yet?

456
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: With your two respected seasons?

457
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 2: Actually she can help her. She wants the world to

458
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: be happy and in love.

459
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 6: I do know if I want everybody to bet.

460
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 5: So before I came on the show, all of the

461
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 5: women from from the Golden Bachelor season were texting amazing

462
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 5: you know, you know, you know, I get your leftovers,

463
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 5: tell me, you know, find somebody for me.

464
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 6: So I went in there like kind.

465
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 5: Of focused when as people were leaving and thinking of

466
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 5: who I was going to set them up.

467
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,440

499
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: He's only twenty three and I was.

500
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 4: I was twenty two when I went on the show.

501
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and not that that is anything wrong with that.

502
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 2: I just don't know if he's ready. So there's been

503
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 2: talked about it, and then with the casting company going

504
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 2: and it's the same thing. What she said to me

505
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 2: is she goes, you know, this is serious. This is

506
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: about finding love. You know, if you're looking for fame,

507
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: go do something else, you know, go do tiktoks, whatever

508
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 2: you want to do. So that's the question for him.

509
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 2: My daughter, she's twenty five. I want to find her

510
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 2: a man so bad, so bad. And she's a great person,

511
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: she really just great and she is so much fun.

512
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 2: But she is probably the pickiest person I've ever met

513
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 2: in my life. Jilly still have a date and I go, Taylor,

514
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 2: what happened? Well, you know, he didn't put his fork

515
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 2: down right or something like that. Just give him a break,

516
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 2: Just come on, you know, enjoy it the moment.

517
00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 3: So better than not picky enough, though, I think, oh, yeah,

518
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 3: you're right about that.

519
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: I would what I'd really like to see my daughter

520
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 2: on is Bachelor of Paradise. Yeah, I think that.

521
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: I think Yeah, that's the show.

522
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 6: That's the show.

523
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 4: You can vouch that, Yeah, we can vention that one chuck.

524
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: Out of all the men from your season, who would

525
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: you be happiest to see become the next Bachelor?

526
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 2: So this morning I was thinking about that, and I

527
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 2: will tell you, and I'm not sidestepping your question with

528
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 2: a non answer, but there's seven to eight guys I

529
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 2: think that would do fabulous and each one of them

530
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: has a different, unique characteristic personality. Start with Charles. Charles,

531
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: Charles l I mean, the world loves me. He is

532
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 2: the nicest guy. I mean, I think it'd be fun

533
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 2: to watch. Jordan has an incredible personality that you didn't

534
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: really see on TV. I mean, the guy is sharp,

535
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 2: he is witty, he is fun. Keith the loving guy,

536
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 2: you know. Just you've got Pascal that you know, that

537
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 2: that suave, you know, gentleman that he is, and so

538
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 2: I can just go through I think Dan. And Dan

539
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 2: is incredibly good looking. I mean the TV didn't do

540
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: him that much justice. I mean it showed him, but

541
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 2: he is a good looking man. And you've got Jonathan,

542
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: but I heard he's dating someone.

543
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, he said that he's seeing someone, and he was a.

544
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 2: Gentleman too, and it was he was one of those guys.

545
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 2: He was kind of like me. He was he was

546
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 2: interactive with the guys, but you know, he was a

547
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: little bit reserved and I was the same way. But

548
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 2: he was so thoughtful and he did care for JOm two.

549
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 2: But I mean, what a great guy. And who else

550
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 2: There was one other one and see Mark, Mark Mark.

551
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 2: You know, Mark is America's sweetheart. And that is that guy.

552
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you a story on this, a couple

553
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 2: of stories. When he walked into the bachelor mansion the

554
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 2: first night, I was probably the only guy that recognized

555
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 2: him because I done some research on went up and

556
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 2: introduced myself. He was such a gentleman, and he is

557
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: a worker, doing dishes, cooking, doing everything else. He was

558
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: on it. And a couple of times I just said, man,

559
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: you you know you are incredible. He is such a

560
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 2: good man. Well the day that the night that he left,

561
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 2: he came up and we were giving hugs and he

562
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: whispers in my ear. He goes, and this is my

563
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 2: one commitment when we get married, is he goes, you

564
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: have to invite me to the wedding. And Mark said that,

565
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 2: and it was so it was so special too, but

566
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 2: all great guys, and so can I pick one? And

567
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 2: I'm not again sidestepping it. I think there'd be so

568
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 2: many guys that would be so qualified for this. Part

569
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 2: of it is you want the person the right point

570
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 2: in their life, you know, with but then you want

571
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 2: the fans to really like them. It's important, it's aw

572
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 2: you know, it's a show, and to become attached to them.

573
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 2: And each one of these guys are just so unique

574
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 2: in their own way.

575
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 5: Ye see, I'm not sure that there's going to be

576
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 5: one hundred percent of them available.

577
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: I mean from what I see, well, if you keep meddling,

578
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: need we need a Golden Bachelor, and you're setting everyone

579
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: up to.

580
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 6: Set a couple of people up.

581
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 5: One said that he already had a girlfriend, and then

582
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 5: at Mantel all Christopher came up to me and teld

583
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 5: me he has a girlfriend. Doctor Bob has a girlfriend.

584
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 5: We've seen kind of out in the media. Mark has

585
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 5: a girlfriend or is he dating somebody? Jonathan said on

586
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 5: the show that he has a girlfriend. I mean, that's

587
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 5: like five right there that are like market. So the

588
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 5: guys are good, big, great catches, and the world has

589
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 5: seen it now so I'm not sure how many are

590
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 5: going to be available.

591
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 2: And the one that I left out was Gary. Oh yeah,

592
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 2: great guy.

593
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 7: And Greg and Greg Greg awesome, smart, witty, funny. But

594
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 7: you know, it's just a you know, I think I

595
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 7: think Charles l would be a hoot.

596
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: Though I think that would mean that's my bone. I

597
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: mean that we.

598
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,479
Speaker 2: Would be a hoot because he's just so unlike the

599
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 2: rest of us, you know, I mean his innocence, but

600
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 2: is you know, he's so true to himself and he's

601
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 2: just I think it would be an absolute hoot to

602
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: watch him.

603
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 3: I keep seeing his tiktoks with his daughter. Oh my god,

604
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 3: they're so fun.

605
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's it's Charles two point zero.

606
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 3: Yes, he told us he's eating really well and he's

607
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 3: aging backwards.

608
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 2: Yes, he goes I'm sixty but I look thirty six, Joe,

609
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 2: and he would give us daily jokes. Is you know

610
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 2: you didn't see this on camera, but he's funny. He

611
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 2: would give us daily jokes. And sometimes they'd go for

612
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 2: five minutes. We're like, worre's a munch, Like, oh great, guys.
