00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: Okay, so we have a lot to cover because as

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: soon as you came on this podcast, we started talking

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about all that on air right now.

8
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: So you are born in Ontario, like Serena. Yeah, yeah,

9
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: we're part of Ontario.

10
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 2: Okay, so not the pretty part. I shouldn't say this,

11
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: but I was born in Windsor, right across the bridge

12
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: from Detroit where mills.

13
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 3: Okay, yes, we know exactly where that is. My sister

14
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 3: has some friends in Kingsville, which I believe is out

15
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 3: that way, so she goes out there a lot.

16
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I still have a lot of family in

17
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: Toronto as well.

18
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 3: So you really do you go back often?

19
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: I haven't been back. Well. So my daughter plays for

20
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: Tennis Canada, the one who's a professional tennis player. Okay,

21
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: so she trained in Montreal, so I would go back

22
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: and forth in Montreal quite a bit. She left the

23
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: house when she was fifteen sixteen to go train Canada.

24
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: So anyway, blah, blah blah. Anyway, so that's last time

25
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: I was there.

26
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: Do you have dual citizenship? Nice?

27
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna have to reach out to you because

28
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 3: I just got my Green card in the spring, and

29
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 3: I believe it's like two or three years and then

30
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: I can apply for citizenship and I want dual. I

31
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 3: want to keep my Canadian citizenship, which is okay to.

32
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: Me, keep the duel in fact, because I went to

33
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: I'll talk to you later, because I went the whole

34
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: process with my younger daughter. The one.

35
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 3: Okay, were your kids born in the US?

36
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: Yes?

37
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 3: Okay, and then you got them dual citizenship as well.

38
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: I did.

39
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: Okay.

40
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: How did we like those two passports?

41
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: Yes, we do. How did you make your way over

42
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 3: to the States?

43
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, my dad actually worked for a company in

44
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: Detroit and so he got transferred. So he always worked

45
00:01:54,120 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: in the United States. So then he got transferred to California,

46
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: and so we all moved, you know, to California.

47
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: So I went to Windsor when I turned seventeen, because

48
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: everyone says that because it was because it was legal

49
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: to gamble.

50
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: When you're eighteen. It's legal to gamble.

51
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: Oh, I've been to Windsor. I'm like, yeah, I know

52
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: what you went there for. Okay.

53
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the same as Torontonians when they're like seventeen

54
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: going to Montreal. You're like, I know why you're going.

55
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: To Carol when you came. When when I found out

56
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: you were our guests on this podcast, I went back

57
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: on my uh my Twitter or my ex and where

58
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: did I Where did I save that tweet? Where's that tweet?

59
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: Oh?

60
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: Here it is? Four. Freddy Freeman is just unreal. It

61
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: was when it was it was one of the playoff

62
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: games when he hit I think when he hit that

63
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: game winning home run. Oh man, that night so awesome.

64
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: You tell her that night was okay. So he wasn't

65
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: having the best game that day.

66
00:02:59,040 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

67
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: So we're in the seats right there, you know, we're

68
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: like practically touching him, right and we decided let's just

69
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: go up to the suite because it was too stressful.

70
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: We're like, right. So he gets up to bat, and

71
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: if you remember two weeks before him, they're playing the Mets,

72
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: the same scenario. Yeah, he work out okay, and the

73
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: game was over. So I was just praying. I was like, Lord,

74
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 2: just get him a hit, just get him on. I

75
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: don't want him to make the last out, just get right.

76
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: So so we're up there watching him blah blah blah,

77
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, because if you know my nephew,

78
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: he's not a showboater guy at all. Right, when he

79
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: hit it and he held up his bat, the ball

80
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: wasn't out yet, so I knew right then, if he

81
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: did that, that thing's going out. I was like, oh

82
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my god. It was

83
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: like it was so incredible, it was. I was so

84
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: proud of him.

85
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: So, well, you know what I mean, playoffs start today.

86
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: I know we're going tonight. In fact, I'm at his

Speaker 2: house right now. Really, he's in the room eating breakfast.

88
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: I'm a Cubs fan.

00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,080

92
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,000

104
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: little bit into why you're here. How did you How

105
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: did you wind up on The Golden Bachelor.

106
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: Well, we watched the first couple of seasons and I

107
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 2: thought was great. I'm like, that is so fun. Gosh,

108
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: everyone that's you know, because it's a little gold is

109
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: a little bit different than the regular you know, it's

110
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 2: a little more tame, which is good for me. Anyway,

111
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 2: my daughter wrote in for me, My daughter, Cassidy, my

112
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: oldest daughter, wrote in for me, and I didn't hear back.

113
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: So I thought, oh, well, I guess I didn't get

114
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 2: on the show. And all of a sudden I got

115
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: a text when I leave in my dad's house and

116
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: said are you still interested?

117
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 3: They're not like, and this is the whole process, just

118
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 3: like I don't have a chat and then you don't

119
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 3: hear anything.

120
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean when I when I got approached to the show,

121
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: I thought they were asking me to be the bachelor.

122
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: I didn't know if you know how it worked. I

123
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: was like, oh, maybe I was so clueless.

124
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: I was really I guess ignorance is bliss, don't know,

125
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: but anyway, So yeah, so my daughter wrote in and

126
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 2: I ended up getting on the show. So that was fun.

127
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 3: Are you divorced?

128
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: I am.

129
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 3: How long have you been single or have you dated

130
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: since your divorce? What has that been?

131
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: Like? You know, I really haven't didd Okay. So I

132
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: got divorced in twenty twenty and I lost like male,

133
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 2: I lost my mom the same year. Who was my

134
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 2: best friend? Who's the worst year ever? The whole COVID

135
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. You know, it's just it was a

136
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: It was a year anyway, and I really haven't dated. Remember,

137
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: I had a daughter that was still in high school

138
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: and raising an athlete. We were raising her to be

139
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: a pro athlete. All three of my daughters played tennis

140
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 2: collegiate d one, my oldest played at East Year of

141
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: Mine here in California, and then my middle one played

142
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: at University of Southern USC and then my youngest one

143
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 2: played college tennis too. She so she turned pro last year.

144
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: So but I'm just saying I had young kids still

145
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: and tennis raising tennis players is like a golfer or gymnast.

146
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: I homeschooled, and I'm the worst student ever. People are like,

147
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 2: you're home schooler. Yeah, sorry, so homeschooled my girls. I

148
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 2: had him on the court. I was actually feeding the balls,

149
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: you know, doing drills whatever. So I was always in this.

150
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: You know, I didn't have a lot of time. I

151
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: was focused on my girls, and so I really didn't date.

152
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: And you know, I could date, but I don't want

153
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: to just date anyone either, So you know, I don't

154
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: want to waste my time if it's not someone I

155
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: think could be a potential I date to get married.

156
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: I guess that's what.

157
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, sounds fair.

158

270
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,920

272
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,360

278
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,720

290
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: Nicole kind of you know, she's she's at the table.

291
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: I'm pretty I'm pretty sure you were there talking about

292
00:13:54,760 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: like she's not just dating mel she's dating America, and

293
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: like she kind of like wants to be an influencer

294
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: and all that kind of happens.

295
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 3: Do you remember what the women were saying and feeling about,

296
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 3: because there's.

297
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: Definitely women in the house that at this point, and

298
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: you're not one of them, but there's definitely women that

299
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: are frustrated by frustrated with Nicole.

300
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: Yes, So the influencer thing not as much for me

301
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: that I heard about as the kissing. Like the kissing

302
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: was a lot of people are rubbed the wrong way

303
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 2: about the kissing. All my jobs beforehand, before I do

304
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: right now and all that kind of stuff. I work

305
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 2: with all women, so I kind of take it with

306
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 2: a grain of salt.

307
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 3: Right, So, how did you feel about the kissing, because

308
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: we do see that she feels very comfortable being affectionate

309
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 3: with mal in front of the other women.

310
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 2: It was a little it was a little uncomfortable.

311
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: I have to say, yeah, I think I think it

312
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: would be uncomfortable kind of for anyone, you know, right,

313
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: I mean I think it's uncomfortable just watching Yeah, just

Speaker 1: But yeah, like I would be I would be uncomfortable

318
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: too if I was if I was on the show,

319
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: and like, yeah, the person that I'm going for is

320
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: just like making out with one person in the middle.

321
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 2: Okay, look, can you imagine the rules were reversed? Okay,

322
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: can you imagine being the woman bachelor and a guy

323
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: coming up all the time. How would you feel, you know,

324
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: just making out all the time, and like, let's say

325
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: you're going on on a date and all of a

326
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: sudden he comes and makes out with her before you

327
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: go on your date.

328
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: The thing is a woman would have said no, but

329
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: the guy is just like all right.

330
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like if it was a bunch of male contestants,

331
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: there's a there's a potential fight happening. Oh yeah, you

332
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 3: know if a guy keeps doing that, one of the

333
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 3: other guy contestants is eventually going to go, hey, man,

334
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 3: enough is enough?

335
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: Yeah?

336
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, it was.

337
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 2: It was definitely uncomfortable. That was definitely But then you

338
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 2: gotta say, well, you have limited time right on the

339
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: show to get to stand out, So I don't know,

340
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: maybe I should have been doing that. We'll see, I

341
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: don't know.

342
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: We see in the first episode and kind of throw

343
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 3: the season so far that something that you and Mel

344
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: obviously have in common is your love for sports. What

345
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 3: else did you guys kind of bond over when you

346
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 3: were getting to know each other.

347
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: Well, that we both kind of made more sacrifices than

348
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 2: normal with our children. I think that was a common

349
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: can I even talk? No, I can't, like you, so

350
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: I need more of this this morning. Okay. So, so

351
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: I think we had that in common because you know,

352
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: it is a lot of sacrifice to raise an athlete,

353
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 2: and it takes. If you're still working like I am

354
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: and he was, you have limited time, so the time

355
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: your free time is with your kids. So I think

356
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 2: we kind of connected on that for sure.

357
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: And you guys both live in La right.

358
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 2: We both are in La.

359
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's I think that's pretty important because

360
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: especially you know when you go on this show when

361
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: you live in different cities, it does make it more

362
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: difficult to make it work.

363
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 2: After it does, it does, And we actually live really close.

364
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 2: We live twelve miles from each other. Oh wow, Yeah,

365
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 2: it's it's really it's really close. It's great.

366
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is nice.

367
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: Okay, so we see, we see on this episode you're

368
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: on a group date. You've just got to go out

369
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: there on a towel. You're uncomfortable.

370
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, we see you're really uncomfortable with that, which fair

371
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 3: because everyone else is fully closed.

372
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: And then they threw you a Carol, here's a towel

373
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: we ran out of close. Yeah, yeah, each towel.

374
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 2: I get the town. Okay, And this is probably my

375
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: youngest darter's biggest spirit, right seeing a sees some hit

376
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 2: her mom like in a towel on the beach. But

377
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 2: guess what. I so I was freaking out about it,

378
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 2: and you know what, by the end of it, I

379
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: was like, this is the best thing ever.

380
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 3: I mean, it looked like you were you looked great,

381
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 3: look scandalous. Do you think it was like you were

382
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 3: in a drop less dress.

383
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 2: I had a ball And guess what. The towel covers

384
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 2: more than most everyone's bathing suit. I'm like, what did

385
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 2: I what did I freak out for the stupidest thing ever?

386
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 2: But I had I had the best time that day.

387
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: I had a really good time.

388
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 3: So oh good, Yeah, it did still end up once

389
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 3: you were in the towel and doing the photos, you

390
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 3: did seem to become more comfortable, more confident, and you're

391
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 3: so right, You're covering more than if you were in

392
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 3: a bikini. You bathing so right. But I think just

393
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 3: thinking like I would be the same, I'd be like,

394
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 3: oh my god, I'm in a towel.

395
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that's what it was. It was

396
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 2: just the representation that it's a towel and everyone's in

397
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 2: these cute bathing suits and really sexy l and I

398

Speaker 2: come in this white hell.

399
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: I mean I personally like I would rather wear a

400
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: towel than like a speed all on the show, Like

401
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,719

00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm not wearing a speed out, Yeah, you know, a towel.

403
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: I'd be like, okay, yeah, No.

404
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,640

00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 2: I had a ball, It was really fun. It was

406
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,520

410
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: which is fair, And then yeah, I kind of walk

411
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: us through that moment because Mel is being a little

412
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:41,960

419
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,439

428
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 2: But it's hard to rewire your brain. I mean, I'm

429
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 2: I'm very traditional. So it was it was kind of

430
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 2: a conflict in my head because I'm waiting for him

431
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 2: to do a little bit more and whatever. And so

00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,399

Speaker 2: was a great thing.

456
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,200

467
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 2: the thing about this show is it really pushes you

468
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 2: to be to do things that are very uncomfortable, and

469
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 2: at my age, it's great. I like it. I like

470
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: learning every day and I like I like being uncomfortable.

471
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: It's kind of fun. You don't know what's and you

472
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 2: don't know what's going to happen each day.

473
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: So what does it feel like being on the show

474
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: Now you're you're four or five year you know whatever.

475
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: We're four episodes in. Are you having fun? Is it

476
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: a pleasant surprise? Is a what you thought?

477
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 2: You know? I didn't have any expectations going into this,

478
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 2: but I it exceeded my expectations. Let's just put it

479
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: that way. I'm a ball. It's it's better than I anticipated. Yeah,

480
00:22:54,080 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: it's great, great show, wonderful people. The women on the

481
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 2: show are incredible, they really are, I mean the professional, incredible, shape, smart, beautiful,

482
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 2: and so in my group of I have the same

483
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: group of friends I've had since has in fourth grade

484
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 2: and that they're all at the first show in preview, right,

485
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 2: I'm but they're all married and the two that aren't

486
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: have long term boyfriends. I'm the only single person. So

487
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 2: it's it's really comforting to go into a place where

488
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 2: there's twenty three other women that have similar similarities to me,

489
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 2: like they're single and and they're living life and they're

490
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 2: still learning and they're active, and so for me, it

491
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 2: was I was so grateful for it. It was it

492
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 2: was the greatest experience ever for sure.

493
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could imagine that that makes sense out of Okay,

494
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: so there's there's six women left. You had the group

495
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: day row, so you don't have to worry at the

496
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: rows ceremony. But out of all the women there, in

497
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: your opinion, and maybe it's yourself, but who do you

498
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: feel like has the strongest connection with mel at this point?

499
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 2: I would say Cindy.

500
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, that's kind of what it looks like the

501
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 3: show at this point.

502
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: And you know it could be Nicole too, because you know,

503
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 2: I would both of them have pretty good connections for sure,

504
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 2: Cindy and Nicole.

505
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 3: So was it surprising every week who went home? Or

506
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 3: were you guys able to kind of get a gauge

507
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 3: on who Mel had stronger relationships with.

508
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: I I kind of had a gauge on it.

509
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 3: I kind of was he doesn't seem to have a

510
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 3: great poker face.

511
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: No, no, yeah, I would say the women that he

512
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: doesn't like, they know.

513
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 3: Well, doesn't like.

514
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm cut at your right.

515
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 3: But not connecting to yes, yeah right, romantic connection yeah.

516
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, no he he yeah. I don't think he hides

517
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 2: it so well.

518
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. So you're going on the Golden Bachelor,

519
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 3: you're single. If you were to write out a list

520
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 3: of what you're looking for in a man, what would

521
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 3: be on that list?

522
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: Good question?

523
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a great question for me. Now, okay, so look,

524
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 2: squays and everything, Mel is like fantastic.

525
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 3: Okay, you like an athlete athlete.

526
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 2: Athlete for sure. I mean he doesn't have to be

527
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: a professional athlete, but you know, just someone you know,

528
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 2: athlete well at least knows about sports. I could not

529
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: date someone who doesn't know about sports. I just they

530
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 2: wouldn't even fit my family. I mean, that's all we

531
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 2: do about growing up, the TV was on. I was

532
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: the youngest of three brothers, so I had three older brothers.

533
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 2: I never had any of my shows on. Okay, in

534
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 2: those days, you didn't have a TV in their room.

535
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 2: We always had sports on. I mean, and I like,

536
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 2: I'll put it on the background just while I'm playing

537
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: the house, just because it's comforting to me anyway, So

538
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 2: he has to have like he has, like sports. Okay,

539
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 2: I I would like someone. Okay, I want someone who's

540
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 2: a Christian and yeah sports is that that's not too

541
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 2: many things. Sports and Christian. That's pretty you know, that's

542
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 2: very doable, not too hard.

543
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: No, if Mel, if Mel doesn't choose you at the end,

544
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: we obviously we don't know, but he doesn't. If he

545
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: doesn't and they do Bachelor in Paradise again, would you
