Speaker 1: Let's get started. There's so much we want to dive into.
Speaker 1: Here we go first, we want to get to know
Speaker 1: you a little bit better. Where are Let's just start
Speaker 1: at the beginning. Where are you from?
Speaker 4: Born and raised in Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada, born
Speaker 4: and raised.
Speaker 3: Okay, wow, I'm coming your way soon.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: Do you win? Do you win on the strip?
Speaker 3: Do we even gambled? People from Vegas? Probably don't even
Speaker 3: go to the strip, is that right?
Speaker 2: I can tell you I've gambled probably five times in
Speaker 2: my entire life.
Speaker 3: It's just I have a question. Is it hard to
Speaker 3: date in Las Vegas?
Speaker 4: Really hard to date? Really, it's very hard to date here.
Speaker 1: You know why all the men are throwing their money
Speaker 1: away on the crafts table. That's what's going on there.
Speaker 3: And they don't live there, they just visit.
Speaker 1: But you have had an incredible career. And my son
Speaker 1: was a firefighter, So I love you because thank you
Speaker 1: for your service all those years that you were one.
Speaker 1: But tell us about your life as a bomb tech.
Speaker 3: Well, it was.
Speaker 2: Really it was fun because I was on the fire department.
Speaker 2: I was hired in nineteen ninety two. I was a
Speaker 2: fourth woman hired on, so you can only guys imagine,
Speaker 2: and back in nineteen thinety two it was kind of
Speaker 2: it was crazy, and you know, they did not want
Speaker 2: women on the fire department at all, they just did not.
Speaker 3: And somehow you got in there.
Speaker 2: I did, and I stayed because a lot of the
Speaker 2: women when they get hired on, they leave about six
Speaker 2: months to a year.
Speaker 4: They leave because if you can't handle the heat, get
Speaker 4: out of the kitchen. Yes, the guys don't want you there,
Speaker 4: they really don't, you know. So I did that for
Speaker 4: eight years on the floor. It's called fighting fires.
Speaker 2: I was on the ladder truck company, I was lading,
Speaker 2: I was on the pumper truck putting the fires out.
Speaker 4: I was on the ambulance. And then, to be honest
Speaker 4: with you, guys, I got bored.
Speaker 3: I got going to say, did you have a favorite
Speaker 3: out of those.
Speaker 4: With the bomb? The bomb? When I was a bomb tech.
Speaker 4: So I got bored on the floor because the guys,
Speaker 4: you know, they love it.
Speaker 2: It's a big boys club and they have a lot
Speaker 2: of fun and they smoke scars and they play cards
Speaker 2: and they do their video games in between all the calls,
Speaker 2: and it was really as a boys club. But the
Speaker 2: guys were great. I just have to say that. So
Speaker 2: I promoted to the Arson Division. So I went through
Speaker 2: the fire Academy, and then after that when I was
Speaker 2: promoted to the arsen Division, I went through the police
Speaker 2: Academy after the base academy. I did that for a
Speaker 2: while and then I became a promoted to a bomb tach.
Speaker 4: So I went through the FBI Bomb Academy and Hunter
Speaker 4: Emma and Redstone Arsenal.
Speaker 2: So the bomb the bomb. Being a bomb tach, it
Speaker 2: was so much fun. I really really enjoyed that. The
Speaker 2: guys were great. What I did for a living was great.
Speaker 2: I felt like I was the main character in the
Speaker 2: spy novel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you actually get called to a scene and
Speaker 3: have to.
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: No, Susan. She sat around played video games.
Speaker 3: You know, you just learned it. But how many bomb
Speaker 3: threats are there? And you have to go dissect the bomb?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: What when we roll up on scene. We have our trucks,
Speaker 2: we have our equipment. Nobody knows we're coming because it's
Speaker 2: the entertainment capital of the world.
Speaker 4: So we slither in and we slither out.
Speaker 2: Yes, there we have a pipe bomb or we have
Speaker 2: an unknown device. We midgate the situation and then we get.
Speaker 3: The hell out of there, right right, right, right?
Speaker 1: Boy?
Speaker 3: Okay, tell me how did you know? Did you watch
Speaker 3: The Bachelor? I mean, were you a fan of Bachelor?
Speaker 3: How did you get to on the Golden Bachelor?

Speaker 4: And when I did.
Speaker 2: At the OC Fair, we were eating our turkey legs
Speaker 2: and we were, you know, drinking our beer and stuff.

Speaker 2: I said, look, I need to ask you something.
Speaker 4: I said.
Speaker 2: I'm glad that you apologize to all the women. I
Speaker 2: get that, I said, but I need to know who
Speaker 2: you are. And I told him this, I said, if
Speaker 2: you are that guy on that podcast. I looked him
Speaker 2: direct in the eye. I said, I don't want to
Speaker 2: date you. I don't want to date you. I and
Speaker 2: don't waste.
Speaker 4: My time, and I don't want to waste your time.
Speaker 4: And I'm sitting here like.

Speaker 2: leave you bleeding everywhere.
Speaker 1: Watching your date with Mel, he like, I said, the
Speaker 1: three of us, you know, we leave no prisoners. He
Speaker 1: looked like he was just watching you have a great time.
Speaker 1: Like your energy you could see that he was like Wow,
Speaker 1: look at her energy. How did you feel about that?
Speaker 1: The whole thing?
Speaker 3: You know what?
Speaker 4: You guys?
Speaker 2: After I got an apology from him personally and we
Speaker 2: talked about it a little bit, I realized he's not
Speaker 2: the guy that everybody's perceiving him to be.
Speaker 4: And I suspend judgment because.
Speaker 2: I really wanted to know who was inside. Yeah he's tall,
Speaker 2: good looking, all that great stuff.
Speaker 4: But are you right for me? Can you get into
Speaker 4: mind life?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 4: And I just I let down my guards and I
Speaker 4: just really started to have a good time. I have
Speaker 4: a lot of energy, you guys, and I annoy the
Speaker 4: shit out of a lot of people.
Speaker 3: Raise your that's three of us, we said, we're from
Speaker 3: the same mold.
Speaker 1: Did the three of us? We both just all we
Speaker 1: raised our hands in unison.
Speaker 3: I mean, wait, I have a question. You were so
Speaker 3: full of energy and I loved you. Knew every words
Speaker 3: of the song. And I was shocked to see Kacy
Speaker 3: didn't even look like Casey. But was his energy matching yours?
Speaker 3: I did not see it? Well, yes, oh hell, you know?
Speaker 2: And I believe because you know, getting to know him
Speaker 2: and you know he's nervous, he's a human being.
Speaker 4: You guys, just like we are. And he was nervous
Speaker 4: as much as we were nervous.
Speaker 2: He's got this, you know, this little jumping bean, this
Speaker 2: little Tasmanian devil, and he's just.
Speaker 4: Like, what do I do with this?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: He loved you being you, but you didn't seem nervous.
Speaker 2: I was not nervous. I went in there, you guys,
Speaker 2: and I just I wanted to be you.
Speaker 4: Be me, You love me, you hate me? I am
Speaker 4: who I am.
Speaker 1: Can I just say this has not worked well for me?
Speaker 1: I mean I say the exact same things said. I'm
Speaker 1: just putting that out there. I am who I am.
Speaker 1: And it's like, take me or leap me. The problem
Speaker 1: is they mostly leave me, but moving back to you
Speaker 1: the way.
Speaker 4: But here's the thing.
Speaker 2: When somebody falls in love with you, they're going to
Speaker 2: fall in love with your authentic self.
Speaker 4: It's not that it's not the representative. I don't want
Speaker 4: to fall in love with anybody's representative.
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, That's why I have to be on me
Speaker 3: y to be real.
Speaker 4: Kathy, keep being you. Somebody will come along.
Speaker 1: Thank you, peg, and you're going to make sure it happens.
Speaker 1: How did it feel opened up to me about your divorce.
Speaker 1: Was that hard?
Speaker 4: No, it wasn't hard.
Speaker 2: His wife stepped out on the marriage and my ex
Speaker 2: husband stepped out on the marriage. So we have that
Speaker 2: commonality and that hurt in that grief, and we understood
Speaker 2: each other.
Speaker 3: But the best was the tattoo. Yeah, saying about that,
Speaker 3: do you have any more?
Speaker 1: Can we say it?
Speaker 3: We can do that in the fantasy.
Speaker 1: Can we see your tattoo? Can we see it? Where
Speaker 1: is it?
Speaker 4: I am stamp. You guys had an affair, right, and
Speaker 4: I got a tattoo?

Speaker 1: not getting wrong. I'm strong willed I'm not stubborn.
Speaker 3: It's a better word.
Speaker 1: I'm not. But okay, so well wait wait.
Speaker 3: Did you think you did you even think about the
Speaker 3: possibility of getting that date rose that night? Or was
Speaker 3: that furthest thing for your mind from you?
Speaker 2: For in my mind, I was expecting them to call
Speaker 2: all the other girls. I was waiting for the other girls,
Speaker 2: you know, other women's names to be called. So I
Speaker 2: was a little taken back, to be honest with you.
Speaker 3: No, no, I meant on your date, on your one on
Speaker 3: one when he gave you, when he gave you the rose.
Speaker 2: Yeah, girl, we had some connection going on there.
Speaker 1: I really I love this.
Speaker 4: We both had that kid.
Speaker 3: We looked.
Speaker 4: There was a moment that we both looked in each.
Speaker 2: Other's eyes and it was electrifying, and I was like,
Speaker 2: oh shit, I'm in trouble.
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna Vombit priceless because when we met you,
Speaker 1: when we were there, you were in a different place.
Speaker 3: You hadn't had one on one date yet.
Speaker 1: I chatty you, and I remember, and you said it
Speaker 1: on the show. You talked about chatty women that and
Speaker 1: I really I empathized or I see myself in you
Speaker 1: as well. First of all high energy, but also you
Speaker 1: know women, groups of women to me are like, eh,
Speaker 1: they're a little you know, say away, that's how I am.
Speaker 1: And when you said you spend time in the in
Speaker 1: the firehouse with men, I you know, I tend to
Speaker 1: get along with men better than women's for the same
Speaker 1: reason like chatty I hate to say chatty Kathy's but
Speaker 1: you know you you said it, and I wondered, how
Speaker 1: was that? Like?
Speaker 4: It was different, you guys. It wasn't good nor bad,
Speaker 4: because there's no good and bad in life.
Speaker 2: It's just different. So I'm used to directness. I'm used
Speaker 2: to no bullshit with the guys. And then I come
Speaker 2: into the yeah, and you know.
Speaker 4: I have twenty five years, you guys, I was with guys.
Speaker 4: That's a long time.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 4: Yep. No one of the girls told me I needed
Speaker 4: to have more feathers, and I'm like, no, I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't. I like who I am.
Speaker 3: I liked it, you know, if your life.
Speaker 4: I'm honest, I'm direct and I'm no bullshit.
Speaker 1: Kind of and I'll take a peg. What my line is.
Speaker 1: When men say to me I'm too much, I say
Speaker 1: to them, no, no, no, I'm not too much. You're
Speaker 1: just not enough for me. You go, And that's that's
Speaker 1: truly what I think. So okay, So the drama with Nicole,

Speaker 2: Fifteen hours a day, seventeen hours a day of filming.
Speaker 4: You're exhausted. You've got your adrenaline running. There's a whole
Speaker 4: other world to this.
Speaker 2: After the rose, the first rose, after we did the
Speaker 2: cheerleading competition, and then we come back to do the
Speaker 2: pool party, and I'm exhausted, right, So I do my
Speaker 2: couple of cannonballs, and then I went took a nap.
Speaker 3: I have to use the ladies room. I'll be back
Speaker 3: and when they find you and you had your power
Speaker 3: nap by that okay.

Speaker 4: So they woke me up. They come on the door
Speaker 4: and they're like, they're.
Speaker 1: Like, you gotta get up.
Speaker 4: So I'm like this, I'm just I was. I got
Speaker 4: out of my mouth, I got the sleep in my eyes,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, okay, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 3: And that was How did the women tell you? Like
Speaker 3: she was all over them on the pool like a
Speaker 3: clomba tree. I think they said, yeah.
Speaker 4: You know what, you guys, I just don't pay attention
Speaker 4: to that stuff. And that's the truth.
Speaker 1: I just that's because you're confident. That's because you're confident.
Speaker 3: Yes for now.
Speaker 4: I wasn't there for woman drama. I was really there
Speaker 4: to see if this man.
Speaker 3: Is a connection my life right out right. So what
Speaker 3: your first impression when you met all the women, and
Speaker 3: I'm speaking of Nicole right now, did it change over time? Well?
Speaker 4: I have the closet, I had the big room, and
Speaker 4: Nicole was in the room.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've heard.
Speaker 2: So I want to have a podcast that says inside
Speaker 2: the closet.
Speaker 1: In the big room, I was going to say, or
Speaker 1: words from the big closet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you really get to know these women once
Speaker 2: you have I had Nicole, and I had Cheryl, and
Speaker 2: I had Debbie, I had Carl, I had all of
Speaker 2: us in there.
Speaker 4: S So let me just put it this way.
Speaker 2: Who Nicole was at the house was a little bit
Speaker 2: different than now who I'm seeing.
Speaker 1: Who she is well, and so we are struggling because
Speaker 1: our show, we felt was pure. So this whole thing
Speaker 1: of monetizing, becoming an influencer, this whole stick that she's
Speaker 1: producing even yet now online. How do you feel about
Speaker 1: those things that she said about you know, I'm kissing
Speaker 1: for America and you know the women on the first season.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that, that whole scenario.
Speaker 4: Here's how I feel about it.
Speaker 2: I you know what, everybody has motives in life, and
Speaker 2: we all have to make a buck. But don't come
Speaker 2: on a dating show and take somebody else's spot that's
Speaker 2: truly there to find her love.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, we love you, Pet.
Speaker 3: That's perfect, Welson.
Speaker 4: I have a problem. She wants to go and be
Speaker 4: an influence, girl, Go do your thing?
Speaker 2: Was you took somebody else's spot like me and like
Speaker 2: you guys saw on TV?
Speaker 4: I just nice gott.
Speaker 1: Did anyone confront her? Did you did anyone confront Nicle
Speaker 1: and say, hey, girlfriend, the wrong thing to say about
Speaker 1: the women from season one, wrong thing to be here here,
Speaker 1: the wrong names. I don't think I'm saying, but did
Speaker 1: anyone confront her?
Speaker 2: I will when I see her, you know, I will
Speaker 2: tell her that was very rude.
Speaker 3: It was what's been said is she was a lot
Speaker 3: of fun in the house. She did people's make up
Speaker 3: like she was good in the beginning until all that
Speaker 3: started coming out.
Speaker 1: We were there because we were the first ones. We
Speaker 1: didn't know what influencing was. We were there to fine love.
Speaker 1: So now your second season, you people have watched it, right,
Speaker 1: so you know what can come of it. Susan and
Speaker 1: I did not know we were going to have a podcast.
Speaker 1: We did not know where our lives are going to be.
Speaker 1: But I want to know if any of the other
Speaker 1: women wanted, like told her to chill out. Did anyone
Speaker 1: when you gave up one on one where people like, oh,
Speaker 1: you won't believe what Nicole said, guess what she did
Speaker 1: or so. I mean, you don't have to give names,
Speaker 1: but if you want to feel for any.
Speaker 2: You saw Cindy talking about it, and saw you saw
Speaker 2: Robin got it.
Speaker 4: Yes, And I know, to be honest with me, personally, guys,
Speaker 4: I got bored with it. I'm like, I'm going to
Speaker 4: take another nap.
Speaker 3: I don't have time for this.
Speaker 2: I don't have time for this. My focus is Mail
Speaker 2: and that's why I am here. But those guys dove
Speaker 2: into it, and I really wish they would have called
Speaker 2: gave Mail the.
Speaker 3: Name, because I think from season's past that person that
Speaker 3: does the telling never ends up good for them. And
Speaker 3: I thought she handled it well. I did. She planted
Speaker 3: that seat, she said, there's things going on. I'm not
Speaker 3: going to be the chatty kathy girl that comes and
Speaker 3: tells you all though, somebody you know.
Speaker 2: What you guys, come on, we're sixty year old women,
Speaker 2: you know, say hey, look, Nicole's here. Not for the
Speaker 2: right reason. This is what I heard. Now what you
Speaker 2: do with this information is your business. But I need
Speaker 2: to tell you that because I am a woman of
Speaker 2: integrity and self respect and self dignity.
Speaker 4: That's how you know.
Speaker 1: What Susan said is true. It never plays well for
Speaker 1: the per who who quote unquote rats them out, and
