I spent most of my life 44 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: in Iowa along the Mississippi River, and when my wife 45 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 2: and I were talking about retiring, we wanted a house 46 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 2: on a lake to be the interesting destination for our 47 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 2: kids to come back to.

What 54 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: did you do? 55 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 2: Early on? I was a restaurant owner and operator, and 56 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 2: it was nothing glamorous. It was fast food. And then 57 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 2: I sold my business and spent the rest of my 58 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 2: career in food distribution. And that's what took me to Chicago. 59 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: A number of times. I worked with salesmen and did 60 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 2: sales training and so forth. 61 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: Nice. Nice And how old were you when you and 62 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: your wife got together. 63 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 2: When we first met, I think we were sophomore in 64 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: high school. Wow, we didn't you know, we didn't start 65 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: hanging out or dating until I was a senior in 66 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 2: high school. But yeah, it goes back to nineteen sixty nine, 67 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: nineteen sixty seven, a long time ago. 68 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: So you don't have much experience in dating, do you. 69 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: I have very little experience in dating, and you know, 70 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 2: it's not something you can do on the run. You 71 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 2: need a little bit of a primer with it, and 72 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 2: it's been, you know, a tough process for me, I 73 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 2: got to admit. 74 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. 75 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, So is that what led you to decide to 76 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 4: be the Golden Bachelor. You're like, this is a little 77 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 4: too tough, so let's just do all thirty women at once, 78 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 4: and then we'll just fast track the process to finding 79 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 4: a wife. 80 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: And on TV too. 81 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that makes perfect sense, doesn't it. Yeah. Yeah. 82 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: I think it was about three years ago and I 83 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 2: wasn't dating anyone, and at that time, I hadn't developed 84 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: the good circle of friends that I have now, and 85 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: I have a really good group of friends now. But 86 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: we were kind of watching The Bachelor Bachelorette, and by we, 87 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 2: I mean my daughters and we text back and forth 88 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 2: and you know, we'd mac on somebody and so forth, 89 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 2: and the and for the Senior Bachelor came on and 90 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: I looked at it and my girl said, won't give 91 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 2: it a try? And like I said, it was like 92 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: I had nothing going socially, kind of probably feeling sorry 93 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 2: for myself a little bit. And I answered it, and uh, 94 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 2: you know, I got a call back, I had a 95 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 2: few zoom calls and so forth. Well, and of course 96 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 2: then it died because of COVID. 97 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: So okay, so yeah, I guess this has been going on. 98 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: Did you so once COVID hit and it kind of 99 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: just like died down, did you think that was it? 100 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: I did? In fact, I recall, you know, kind of 101 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: waiting and waiting, and I had a phone number for 102 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 2: one of the producers at that time, and I finally 103 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 2: sent him one last message and I and I included 104 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 2: a picture and I said, who wants to be the 105 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 2: first Senior Bachelor? This guy and they I think the 106 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: message back was something like, Okay, we've all been released 107 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: from responsibility. It doesn't look like the project is going 108 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 2: to happen now and and and that was it. So 109 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 2: then fast forward two plus years to February of this 110 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 2: year when I get a call and I mean that 111 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 2: one was out of the blue. Yeah, but anyway, I 112 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 2: get the call, are you still interested? And at first 113 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 2: I said no, as I'm over it, I'm good to go, 114 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 2: I'm fine, And the conversation kind of quite honestly, I 115 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 2: didn't want to hang up. I wanted to see, you know, 116 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 2: how the conversation would develop and evolve and lo and behold, 117 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 2: I probably was pretty easy to be talked into it, 118 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: and you know, so that was the slippery Slopes frace. 119 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 2: So you got. 120 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 4: Produced so once in a lifetime, incredibly unique opportunity. So 121 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 4: if you're an experiential person, it's understandable that you're like, Okay, 122 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 4: you know, I'm kind of over this, but at the 123 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 4: same time like, tell me more. 124 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: Oh, that's exactly what it was. And then you know, 125 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: I recall hanging the phone up. I mean, I remember 126 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 2: exactly in the house where I was, and so when 127 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 2: I hang the phone up and I go, what did 128 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 2: I just do? And then with literally with every passing moment, 129 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 2: I got more and more excited about the possibility. And 130 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: then of course as things happened, you know, phone calls 131 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 2: and interviews and zoom calls and everything. I mean, it's 132 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 2: just really it's ramped up day by day by day. 133 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, because you're investing more and more time into it, 134 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 4: and it starts to become more and more real, and 135 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 4: you're like, wow, maybe I will be the Golden Bachelor, 136 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 4: and here you are. 137 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I think the time between that phone call 138 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 2: and subsequent meetings and so forth to the time that 139 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: I actually got the news officially from Jesse Palmer, and 140 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 2: it was a Memorial Day morning. That was the most 141 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 2: difficult period of this whole thing, because you don't know 142 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: is it a yes that to know? Should I just 143 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: give up? 144 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: Hope? 145 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 2: Should I keep hanging on? The emotions are just all 146 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 2: over the place for that couple of months. 147 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: So how are you well? I have so many questions 148 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: for you, Like, first of all, you look, you look fantastic. 149 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: What do you what are you doing?

I'm just kidding. 154 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 2: I play Okay. I think the real secret is genetics. 155 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 2: But I was a marathon runner, you know, high school 156 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: college athlete. I try to eat well, but I fail 157 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 2: a lot at that, you know. But I think it's 158 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: just in general trying to stay healthy. I probably spend 159 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 2: ten hours a week playing pickleball, so that burns off 160 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 2: a lot of energy. 161 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: You're definitely going to get You're going to get some 162 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: social media deals for pickleball for sure. That that is 163 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: definitely coming coming your way. Okay, So how how are 164 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: you prepping to date thirty women? 165 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 2: Wow, that's you know, that's a really good question, and 166 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 2: I have given it a lot of thought. I mean, 167 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 2: it's almost you can't get away from it. But I 168 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: think the thing that I spend a lot of time 169 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: doing is trying to figure out what are the good 170 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 2: questions to ask that will reveal character and reveal whether 171 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 2: or not someone is genuinely a high energy competitive person 172 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 2: or you know, really important is how close are they 173 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: to family. You know, I've dated a few women along 174 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: the way, and it's very revealing when someone doesn't have 175 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 2: good friendly ties with their children. It's like, really, it 176 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 2: manifests in a number of negative ways. 177 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 4: So so that's kind of in terms of people's character, 178 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 4: what's important to you? Do you have like a type 179 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 4: in terms of physical appearance or something specific that you're 180 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 4: looking for other than like strong family values. 181 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 2: I guess I kind of do. I would want someone that, 182 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 2: in their own way, is fit. If they're tall or short, 183 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 2: you know that those kind of things don't matter. It's 184 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: are they using the most or or getting the most 185 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 2: out of their their physical attributes? Are they pushing themselves? 186 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 2: Are they refusing to give up? 187 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: If your wife's looking down on you. Now, what do 188 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: you think she would say? I think she would be 189 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: very pleased. I have a picture of her in my 190 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: walk in closet, so every night I'm in there and 191 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: I see her picture. It's the only one now that 192 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: I have in the house. And in the mornings, I 193 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: see her picture, and you know, we talk. You know, 194 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: I'll make a brief comment or you know, sometimes that 195 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: talk is silent, but here lately, in the last couple 196 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: of months, you know, my question for her is always, 197 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: so what do you think of this? Am I doing 198 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: the right thing? And I really have strong positive feelings 199 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: about it. I think she would be very happy. I 200 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: think she's probably seen me fail at a number of 201 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: attempted relationships and dating, and I really think she would 202 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: be approve of this. It's positive, it's energetic, it's a 203 00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: way of communicating and finding the connection with a number 204 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: of people, but specifically one special person. 205 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 4: I'm pretty confident nice she would want you to find 206 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 4: your pickleball partner. 207 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that would be great. 208 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: I love that. And I think that's such a healthy, 209 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: healthy outlook. And I mean, I think I think you're 210 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: gonna I think you're gonna find your person. How about friends?

It's so bad. 219 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 3: That's fair, Yeah, that's fair. It is a family show 220 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 3: to an extent. 221 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: Let's go, let's go daughters, then a little bit.

The 224 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 2: experience of having them in Los Angeles with me a 225 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago when I was doing the promotions 226 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 2: and so forth, I mean, we'd laugh and we'd cry, 227 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 2: and it was just an amazing, amazing experience. And today, 228 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 2: you know, I have two daughters. One is our granddaughters, 229 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 2: one is twenty one one, sixteen, and they're very adept 230 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 2: at finding comments and the things online, and so they're 231 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 2: firing me stuff NonStop about the things that are being said, 232 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 2: and it's hilarious. But they are loving it. And you know, 233 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 2: my two daughters. Then of course they're a little bit older. 234 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 2: You know, I have one that's forty and forty six, 235 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 2: and you know, they're sort of in between, so they're 236 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 2: they're getting some of the online stuff, but an awful 237 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 2: lot of feedback from their personal friends. So that is 238 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 2: genuinely part of the fun of this experience is seeing 239 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: all the people that are my clothes circle having so 240 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 2: much fun with it. Yeah, I'm pleasantly surprised that there's 241 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 2: been almost no jealousy about it. No one's saying I 242 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 2: wish it was me and mentally wishing, you know that 243 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 2: I wasn't in that spot. Everybody is so positive and supportive. 244 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 3: That's great, that's great. 245 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 4: That's something that people don't talk about that much going 246 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 4: on the show, and it has been something that I experienced, 247 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 4: I know you experienced. Is it really just brings people together, 248 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 4: like your circle of friends and family really surround around you, 249 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 4: and they get excited about it and they want to 250 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 4: be involved, and it is It is really fun for 251 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 4: not just you and your journey, but all the people 252 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 4: in your life to get to enjoy and celebrate as well. 253 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 2: There's a little story that I think really epitomizes. You 254 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 2: know what we're talking about here. But I have a 255 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 2: neighbor whose husband passed away last November, and we were 256 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 2: outside last Saturday, they were having a memorial for him. 257 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 2: She's eighty years old and was feeling kind of bad. 258 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 2: And literally it was six years ago on that Saturday 259 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 2: that I took my wife to the hospital when she 260 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 2: never came home, and we had a good cry, you know, 261 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 2: hugged it out a little bit, had a good cry. 262 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 2: About three hours later, she calls and she goes, my 263 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 2: daughter is here, my daughter in law is here. Can 264 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 2: we come over and have our picture taken with you? 265 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 2: And so we're doing selfies. I wish I could show 266 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 2: you the sequence of three, because there's three women in 267 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 2: me in the first picture kind of normal. And then 268 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 2: in between that picture and the next, I turned to 269 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 2: her and I say, just give me a little kiss 270 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 2: right here, and as she does, I turn and so 271 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 2: we kissed, and then the last picture her face is 272 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 2: lit up and busting out with laughter. And it was 273 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 2: really a great experience to watch her have a bad 274 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 2: morning and then a great morning because of basically because 275 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 2: of the Golden Bachelor experience. 276 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 4: So it was fun that's amazing. It's bringing people together 277 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 4: in your life. It's going to bring people together on 278 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 4: the show to hopefully find a second chance of love. 279 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 3: So there's lots to be excited about. 280 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: I saw you better, you better stop start stop kissing 281 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: women right now? 282 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're kissing your neighbors. 283 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 2: You have a lot of women getting I'm going to 284 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 2: reread my contract because I don't think that's in there. 285 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: You're right, Actually, can can you tell us, like, what 286 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: is an ideal date for you? Right now? 287 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 2: Oh? I think an ideal date is focused heavily on 288 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 2: conversation because I'm kind of thinking we're talking an early date, 289 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 2: a first date, something like that, where you know, we 290 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: can talk about priorities, we can talk about whether or 291 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: not the person is interested in being made. You know, 292 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 2: there's many women of my age that that look at 293 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,959 Speaker 2: marriage and say, you know, it's kind of a complication. 294 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 2: Do we need to be married to be committed to 295 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 2: each other? And it's an interesting thought. I would want 296 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 2: that day to include some activity so that I would know, uh, 297 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 2: that we could engage together. It'd be nice if there 298 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 2: was an activity where I would know how well we 299 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 2: would work as a unit. A pickleball date or a 300 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 2: golf date would be great. I think those kind of 301 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 2: things are pretty revealing of people's character. 302 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: So I gotta I gotta come out to Indiana and 303 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: play in a little pickleball. I'm pretty good myself. 304 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to mislead you. I'm not sure 305 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,239 Speaker 2: we're good. We're just all about the same levels. So 306 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 2: we have a heck of a good time being competitive 307 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 2: with each other. 308 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 3: You can definitely be a. 309 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 4: So going into this process, what are you the most 310 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 4: excited about? 311 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 3: What are you the most nervous for. 312 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 2: I'm really most excited for that first night when I 313 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 2: get to see all of the women and get a 314 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 2: first impression that that is really a moment that I think, 315 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 2: you know, sort of sets the tone mentally for me. 316 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 2: And then what I'm most nervous about. You know, people 317 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 2: have asked me so many times, are you nervous that? 318 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 2: And I've said, no, I'm really not that. I'm beginning 319 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 2: to think I'm super naive and I need to be 320 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 2: more nervous. But I'm more nervous about stepping on a 321 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 2: rake and breaking my nose here at home that I 322 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 2: am anything about the show. It doesn't make me nervous. 323 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 2: It makes me excited. I feel energized. I can't wait, 324 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 2: of course, but but I'm not feeling too nervous about it. 325 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 4: I feel like that's a good thing because as much 326 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,479 Speaker 4: as you know, maybe you just don't know what you 327 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,239 Speaker 4: don't know. Like, I'm sure there's things that are going 328 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 4: to come up that make you nervous that you just 329 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 4: couldn't expect. It definitely just means you're going to go 330 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 4: into it with like an open mind and open heart enthusiasm. 331 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 4: I feel like that's the best way to go into it, 332 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 4: whereas you're not overthinking it too much, you know.

We're going to jump 346 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: in Gary, We're gonna play game before we do. Do 347 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: you have any questions for us? Because we did fall 348 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: in love on the show. 349 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 3: We did. We're married now, we've been together just over 350 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 3: two years. 351 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 4: We got engaged just over two years ago, and then 352 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,959 Speaker 4: we got married in the fall, and we have our 353 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 4: wedding coming off in September. 354 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 2: How long after the show did you realize you were 355 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 2: the right people for each other. 356 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 3: That's a good question. 357 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 4: So my answer to that would be, I mean, obviously 358 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 4: we left the show believing we were the right people 359 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 4: for each other. We got engaged on it, but you know, 360 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 4: you hit the real world and there's still new tests 361 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 4: and experiences to go through. And I went and stayed 362 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 4: with Joe for ten days, and we were we had 363 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 4: to hide because no one can know we were together. 364 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 4: So I was basically stuck in his apartment with him 365 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 4: for ten days straight. And well the first day, yeah, 366 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 4: that's a whole other story. And when I left after 367 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 4: the ten days to go back home, I was so 368 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 4: sad to be leaving. We'd had the best time. I 369 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 4: couldn't get enough of him, and that's why I knew. 370 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, I made the right decision. You know, 371 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 4: this works just as well in the Bachelor world as 372 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 4: it does in the real world. 373 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 2: That's awesome. I'm so glad to hear that. Yeah, Joe, 374 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 2: how would you answer the question? 375 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: I wouldn't know. I well, you know, I feel like 376 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: I knew on the show, but then you know, you 377 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: obviously you have to test it once you step into 378 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,360 Speaker 1: the real world. And it was in that ten day 379 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: period where I was like, Okay, this is going to 380 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: work or I believe this has a really good chance, 381 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: and all my feelings that I felt on the show 382 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: were as real as they are now, Like, and it's 383 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: you know, you just have to be like, just you're 384 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: an honest guy, Just be yourself, and I believe you 385 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: will find your match in the person that's also being honest, 386 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: and that's really you need.
