8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: I believe they were after you for a while.

9
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 3: Yes, it fell into my lap and I kind of

10
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 3: I didn't see myself as being putting myself out there

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 3: on television, so I kind of rejected it three times,

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 3: But then I had the support of my boys, and

13
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 3: I decided, you know, a life short why not?

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard enough to put yourself out there

15
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: when you get to our age beer, you know, without

16
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: without it being on television.

00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 3: what have I done? But I'm having a great time.

19
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 3: I'm having a really good time.

20
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,640

21
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 4: vying for your heart? I mean all at once? How

22
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,080
