Speaker 3: but this one was special.

9
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,840

Speaker 5: isn't it.

16
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,120

Speaker 4: a part of their journey. Yes, so it got to be.

18

00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 4: Some people say we're Netflix people together.

49
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah right, crazy things I've heard, but we won't

50
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 5: share all.

51
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 7: We got Joan and Susan here. It's really hard, and Joe,

52
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 7: we're gonna get to you in a second. We had

53
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 7: a lot to talk to you about. I just want

54
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 7: to celebrate you for a second for what you did

55
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 7: last night and officiating this wedding, like it's really hard

56
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 7: to do this. And then to have the response unanisously positive.

57
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 7: Like across the board last night reading the reviews. You

58
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 7: crushed it and you made it personal and you made

59
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 7: it very like intimate and it's not easy to do,

60
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 7: and so yes, you've done weddings before, but I just

61
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 7: I want to say it was. It was a joy

62
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 7: to be at the wedding, not only to celebrate the

63
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 7: two of them, but to see how much you cared

64
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 7: for the two of them in these moments.

65
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 4: It was beautiful. Thank you.

66
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 7: Now, the one part of the wedding, I don't understand

67
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 7: what happened with the rings.

68
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 5: Wait, they come to my room maybe an hour before,

69
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 5: and they showed me the little stone thing he was carrying,

70
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 5: and they said, all you have to do is pull

71
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 5: this ribbon. Okay, we'll slide right off. Well they did

72
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 5: not never mentioned they were pinned into the ribbon. I'm

73
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 5: and I'm tugging and I'm looking up at Gary. The

74
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 5: starts in handling, yeah, ripping at it. But once he

75
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 5: took the pin out, then the ribbon did got it.

76
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 4: They didn't want little Henry to drop it or lose.

77
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: What did Teresa say to you when the bows were dropped?

78
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: Because I didn't hear that little part like you were

79
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: like throwing the bows like, and she said something, do

80
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: you know what I'm talking about?

81
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 6: I saw that too, Yeah, yeah, no, and it was

82
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 6: I think she was saying it to Gary because he

83
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 6: was like kind of something like about that right now.

84
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 4: I wonder if he roughs it up.

85
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 6: Susan, you had to go there, I mean, that's where I.

86
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 7: Thought I it was. I mean, I don't even know

87
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 7: if it was shown. I'm sure is live television it was.

88
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 6: None of us have seen it.

89
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: We were just sitting here with and we were like,

90
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: we think you did great on the Red Car.

91
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 6: I talked to my kids this morning, like how are

92
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 6: we They're like fine, kids.

93
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 7: So the two of you are two names getting thrown

94
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 7: around maybe to be the next Golden Bachelor, and we

95
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 7: don't even really know if they're going to have one,

96
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 7: right like, I haven't been confirmed.

97
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 5: I think the applications out for the men. I think

98
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 5: that's where.

99
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: They always do that. They always are looking.

100
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, no matter, it's so much easier to find them.

101
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 7: So when I say the words, let's just like play

102
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 7: a game and imagine that the show is happening and

103
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 7: each of you have been asked to be the Golden

104
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 7: Bachelor at What does that feel like? Is that exciting?

105
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 7: Are you nerves? Would you be nervous?

106
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 4: Are we going together.

107
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 7: First?

108
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 6: And I would actually love that, So I I kind

109
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 6: of liked the Bacher shows that had the two women.

110
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 6: I thought that they kind of worked, and I thought

111
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 6: that at least in our case, I think that we're

112
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 6: gonna they're gonna have a hard time finding men that

113
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 6: are going to want to sit around and talk about

114
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 6: love on that big old sofa. And I think they're

115
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 6: going to be like either silent or like it'll fix.

116
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 6: Maybe they'll had some pictures or something, but they're they're

117
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 6: not going to talk about love. They're going to talk

118
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 6: about sports, and then they're going to clamb up. So

119
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 6: I think that you might need more than one bachelorette.

120
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 6: If you're going to have the men as not the mains,

121
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 6: then I think you might need one, or two or

122
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 6: three or maybe in four. I think four would be

123
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 6: four big number.

124
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 8: By the way, I think that's happening, and I would

125
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 8: like to be there, just if I wasn't the batchel

126
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 8: to counsel the men on how to be Yeah, this

127
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 8: is TV, this.

128
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 4: Is what you want to do here or a woman. Yeah,

129
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 4: my fear is I wouldn't like any of them.

130
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 6: I mean fear like me because you are, Because you know,

131
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 6: Gary and Theresa had this incredibly epic ending to their season,

132
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 6: and like that's a really hard act to follow. So

133
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 6: even if you have a connection with somebody and maybe

134
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 6: like it's you, like see the future, you're probably not

135
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 6: going to have this ending. So no matter, I don't

136
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 6: want to be a lot of us.

137
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: That actually happened.

138
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 6: On our season was only one month.

139
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 3: Mine was only six weeks. Yeah, you're right, because the

140
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 3: other ones are like ten.

141
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 4: Look Joey's coming up. How exciting is that? Yeah?

142
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 6: How I feel like they've got longer than long.

143
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a couple of months.

144
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,799
Speaker 7: I believe almost three months this thing, but by start

145
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 7: to finish.

146
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 6: How long was your season?

147
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 7: A long time? About three months?

148
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 4: I feel it was.

149
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 6: Ours was?

150
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, I may how many men you're not

151
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 5: getting seven year olds? If it's sixty, some of them

152
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 5: are still in business and can't take off six weeks.

153
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, but hopefully some of them are CEOs the retirement.

154
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 5: We want to check the background, don't get any information

155
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 5: about them, so you're going kind of blind, and.

156
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 3: That's just what the show is.

157
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 6: What is you have to trust and now exciting.

158
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 5: The main thing for us, for me, the producers, the

159
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 5: people that.

160
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 4: Run this thing, they're amazing.

Speaker 7: I was telling Joan this, My buddies had started to

185
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 7: get to a place where, like, you got to start

186
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 7: messaging girls because you're not going out like, you don't

187

Speaker 7: going to meet people hanging at a bar, you know,

189
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 7: so you should start messaging people.

190
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 6: And I did.

191
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 7: I messaged Jess and that's how we man obviously got married.

192
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 7: And most people that listen to this know that story.

193
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 7: But I was talking to them. I was like, you're

194
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 7: people are going to start messaging you, and if they don't,

195
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 7: maybe then.

196
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 5: Should I message somebody you think it's hot?

197
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, well nobody.

198
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,040

Speaker 4: Now for it, Kevin season.

201
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 7: Hey, keV, you just start shooting your shot and see

202
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,520

00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 3: There's no reason not to you.

204
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 5: I'm definitely not shy, but if there was somebody that

205

Speaker 5: was interested, I would reach out.

00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 6: my life, like what do you have to lose?

208
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 4: Who cares?

209
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: Okay, that brings me to like a thought about last

210
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: night and how Teresa was saying, oh, we're going to

211
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: be dead in ten years or something.

212
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 4: What was that what you said?

213
00:09:59,679 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: It?

214
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 5: I saying that statement, Yeah a lot, and it's twenty years.

00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 4: And I said, and for you guys, I made it ten. Yeah,

216
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 4: and she said we might only live another couple hours.

217
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, a few hours gave you ten years?

218
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 2: Right, No, just you know the whole there is this

219
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 2: like I think that not advertising, but the like kind

220
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 2: of campaign behind it is that you know, we only

221
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: live so long. Life is short period seven and you guys,

222
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: you know, have I feel like, talked a lot about

223
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 2: this is that you really want to have, you know,

224
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: an incredible rest of your life. It might be shorter

225
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: than when you were twenty, you know, And these.

226
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:41,960

00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: So I think just enjoying your life and going for it,

230
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: like shooting your shot while you can't.

231
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 5: Why why this opportunity that we both had? Yeah, I mean,

232
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 5: who'd have thought that was going to happen? When I

233
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 5: applied it was almost four years. It'll be in March.

234
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 5: Pandemic her from my go they don't like me, well, yeah,

235
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 5: they like it.

236
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 4: And then you get that call, you're like, yeah, yes,

237
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 4: I'm still single.

238
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 6: I did it in January, and I was kind of

239
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 6: hesitant still because I do feel like you're got to

240
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 6: shoot your shot. I only have so many years and

241
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 6: even said that, you know, like my husband's passed away

242
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 6: two years ago, it's going to be three years in

243
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks, but it is that, and it

244
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 6: is time. But I really wasn't in the mood. But

245
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 6: I came home and I saw this, you know, I

246
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 6: I seen I saw the advertiser for this, and I

247
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 6: went ahead and did it. And I almost didn't go.

248
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 6: I was so worried that they might portray us in

249
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 6: like an undignified way, and then I embarrassed my kids

250
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 6: or I would just look foolish. And you know, you're

251
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 6: a lot more careful at this age because you have

252
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 6: a lot to lose, Like you, you know, you built

253
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 6: your life, building your reputation, and so you don't want

254
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 6: to blow it all in like doing something silly. Yeah,

255
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 6: I'm so glad I did it now like this. It

256
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 6: was dignified and it was joyful, and we got to

257
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 6: represent this whole group of people, our age in this

258
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 6: weird place in life, and we made these lifelong friends

259
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 6: and we have a tribe now to go through this

260
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 6: weird dating thing that we're doing now at this age.

261
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 5: However, I did pay attention next time on some of

262
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 5: the things that I've done on the.

263
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 4: Like I just heard kissed the girl not sexual. Oh

264
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 4: they're behind me.

265
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 6: They got a new.

266
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 5: Maybe the next Golden that's what it would be, the

267
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 5: first bisexual.

268
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh God, you.

269
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 6: Have to be careful of your eye rolls and things

270
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 6: like that, because they will did it something else and

271
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 6: reply it to something that you didn't roll your eyes up.

272
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: So Ben chaired with me this morning before we started

Speaker 7: I've been with Gary during a filming segment where people

319
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 7: have broken down in tears because this has revitalized a

320
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 7: new hope and new excitement.

321
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 4: Yes, that was.

322
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 7: What I was going to ask you as we close

323
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 7: out this segment and we're just looking into the future,

324
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 7: what things have stood out to you personally from this experience?

325
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 7: And then also what what would you tell other people

326
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 7: who are out there being like maybe I won't go

327
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 7: on the Golden Bachelor or Bachelorette, Like that's not my thing,

328
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 7: but I'm not done trying.

329
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 6: So for me, I think that I got a ton

330
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 6: of messages, hundreds, if not thousands, and I think we

331
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 6: kind of all did that we were representing this community

332
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 6: of older people going into the dating world. And I

333
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 6: think something that resonated with a lot of people is

334
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 6: when I said, you kind of become invisible as you

335
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 6: get older. And I didn't think anybody else was feeling

336
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 6: that way, but apparently lots of people feel that way,

337
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 6: and that we've been like kind of relegated to the

338
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 6: backseat because the next generation is now moving in and

339
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 6: we raise this generation. We're proud of them, and we

340
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 6: think we did a good job when we're ready to

341
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 6: hand it over, but it doesn't mean that we have

342
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 6: to become invisible and we don't have to be the

343
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 6: caretakers now, like we can still have a life. And

344
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 6: I think that that is like the message that got

345
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 6: out there finally, that like it's okay to it's not undignified,

346
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 6: and it's not selfish to now want a life for ourselves,

347
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 6: even at this age. So I would say to people,

348
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 6: I think that's kind of the message. But how to

349
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 6: go about finding that life is still a little bit

350
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 6: of a mystery to me. So I would say that

351
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 6: you have to make an effort, like hope is yeah,

352
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 6: hope is not a strategy. You have to take action,

353
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 6: and like that's kind of the journey that I think

354
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 6: we're all still long. We talk about it all the time.

355
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 6: I even talked to Nancy last night and I was like,

356
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 6: we have to go out. Nancy lives in my area,

357
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 6: and I said, we have to go out because, like

358
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 6: I don't have a lot of single friends, and so

359
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 6: I said, we let's go, like do something on our

360
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 6: Friday or Saturday night. And because when I go with

361
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 6: my kids, like we sit at a table and nobody

362
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 6: walks over to us. We could go sit at a

363
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 6: bar and have dinner just the two of us and

364
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 6: if somebody walks over, and this is high grade if

365
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 6: someone doesn't nice dinner, but at least puts us out

366
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 6: there a little bit. Yeah, so you have to have

367
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 6: a tribe, and that's what we've found on our show.

368
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 6: And you have to find your tribe so you have

369
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 6: somebody to do this stuff with.

370
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, what you said.

371
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 5: Sometimes I feel like I might be arrested for counseling things,

372
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 5: and I'm not to do that. But you don't know

373
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 5: how many emails I send back or answers to people

374
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 5: replies and then they get my email and they're pouring

375
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 5: their heart out, like you made me like myself again

376
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 5: and I want to.

377
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 4: Be like you.

378
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 5: How do you stay so positive? We're not always positive,

379
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 5: we have lows. I've always lived in my own world,

380
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 5: like because my cousin would say, it's Susan's world. And

381
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 5: I love people and I love being alive. You all

382
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 5: get down, but pick yourself back up. Maybe it's not dating.

383
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 5: Just like yourself again.

384
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 4: Go buy a new outfit.

385
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 5: A pair of sweats, new sneakers, haircuts outside, take a walk.

386
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 4: Just start loving yourself again.

387
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 5: And with that, when you have more self confidence and

388
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 5: like in who you are, you attract more people. And

389
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 5: that law of attraction thing. I total believe in that totally.

390
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 5: I hate when the demons come in here and think negative. Yeah,

391
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 5: that's not going to happen. What you portray out there,

392
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 5: it does happen. You just have to believe.

393
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 6: You have to put out positive energy. You're not going

394
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 6: to get positive energy back.

395
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 2: Right.

396
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 4: It's for the men part. Going on the show.

397
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 5: I was on every dating site known to many, and

398
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 5: I thought going to the show, I fell in love

399
