  Speaker 2: Welcome to the Almost Famous Podcast. We're here today to
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: break down a big announcement in Bachelor Nation. The Golden
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Bachelor cast has been revealed. I have an incredible co
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: host with me today, specifically chosen not only because of
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: her talents and her wonder and awe, but also because
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: of her experience on The Golden Bachelor. Susan Knowles is
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: co hosting with me today.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Hello Susan, Hello dal how are you hey? Everybody? Thanks
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: for listening. I'm so excited to chat about this.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Susan, are not going to be easy on you, because
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: here's I thought about prepping for this. Here's what I want. Okay,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: if you listen to the Almost Famous podcast for any
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: period of time, you would know that I am a
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: massive fan of the Golden series. Like a massive fan.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I think it is the best decision The Bachelor has
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: made in years. I was a massive fan of your season,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: of the women that came off of your season, then
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: entering into Jones season and meeting some of the guys
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: from that season. I just think it's such a heart warming, genuine,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: authentic experience to try to find love and then also
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: teach us as I guess we're calling us young'ins, teach
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: us so many things.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: I agree. I agree, and we are real at this age.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: You know, we don't have to try to be somebody.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: That's the best part of the Goldens.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I think, well, we're gonna have to convince some people
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: to watch this season. I think because of who they
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: chose as their bachelor, mel Owens was chosen as the
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Golden Bachelor. I have a theory, Susan, that if I
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: was in charge of the Bachelor franchise, I would have
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: gone away from the attractive Golden back to maybe gone
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: as far as like, Hey, I'm finding my eighty year
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: old dude who is just wanting love so bad and
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: is wearing eighty come on, seventy five, seventy he's wearing overalls,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: he's wearing suspenders. This guy's meeting at McDonald's in the
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: morning for breakfast with his friends.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: There's another show out there. I think it's some country
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: one in the woods or something.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I just would have I don't want the Golden to
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: turn into what the Bachelor ended up doing, which is
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: where everybody would go on to become influencers, and everybody
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: was just so attractive that they weren't relatable. And Mel
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: obviously came out publicly. He was scrutinized for I haven't
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: met him. I'm not going to. I don't. I'm not
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: holding any judgment towards him as a person until we
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: get to talk to him. But he is a very
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: attractive man who said publicly, so I can only take
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: his words that he was going to date younger women.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Sometimes regret things we say. I've been trust me one
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: hundred times in my life at least that I've said
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: things and that's not how I meant it. And I'm
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: really hoping I have met Mel. And one of the
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: things I said to him when I said welcome to
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the family and he said thank you, thank you. When
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: he looked really good and he had his shades on,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: and I said, would you like? He said, do you
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: have any advice for me? I said, I do. First things. First,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: take the shades off. I'm going to look in your eyes.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: It was a whole different feeling for me, and what
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I said was be true to yourself, don't get caught
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: up in the show or what some producers are trying
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: to tell you like this one, you don't really stay
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: true to yourself because this can work, but you have
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: to be real.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: So am I getting on board with this season? You
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: are a wise counsel, a trusted counsel. You have met
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: this guy, I don't know anything about him. We're going
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: to break down the cast members today here in just
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: a second, we're going to fly through the list of
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: incredible cast members that he has joining him on his experience.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: But Susan for the listeners and for me, who's now
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: a skeptic of the thing that I was most supportive of.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Am I getting as a friend? Would you tell me
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: let's get behind this season.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: You have to, you absolutely have to. You have to
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: give him room to redeem himself. If you will, I'm
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: almost certain he'll apologize and he'll share why he said
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: what he said. Hopefully he was kidding. I mean, we
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: all know that it's a known fact in the world
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: that older men like younger women. I mean, that's just
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: something that's written. Look at me, I'm an older woman
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: with a younger man. So both ways we can all
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: do it. But let's give him some grace and let's see.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I wish him a lot of luck because I looked
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: at these women who to me, because we we were
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: the first, I think we were a group that was
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: so different, h and every one of us, you know
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: what I mean. Now that people actually saw the show,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: and those that are going to be on the next one,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: on mel season, I hope they're there for all the
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: right reasons too, because once the show is out, then
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: you catch on, you know what I mean, who's doing
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: this now and not now? And go for the right reasons.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Let's see what you think of the cast members today.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Again we just mentioned Jesse Palmer will be the host.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Mel Owens is your Golden Bachelor. We have Susan with
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: us today, one of the cast members from the previous
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: season who has continued to light up our lives in
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: the best of ways. We're going to start with this Susan.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I'm going to read their name and where they're from. Okay,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: you give any other thoughts, kind of give the color
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: commentary if that works.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, Okay.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: We got Alexandra from Miami, Florida. She's sixty seven. I
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: will give the age as well, because I guess that's
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: important here.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and she's sexy and she loves Bob Marley. I
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: think she's going to be a fire. That one.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: We got Amy. You can go on ABC dot com
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: to follow along with the pictures and kind of the bios.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: We got Amy from Shorthills, New Jersey. She is sixty
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: three years old.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Amy reminds me, from what I've read of me, a
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: little bit like I love when she says she has
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: a built in bullshit detector. She's bold and bubbly, and
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: she used one of my lines, I feel like a
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: kid in a candy store. So I think I'm gonna
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: like Amy, And.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I feel like at this age you do have like
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: that's just a skill set you have, it's built in
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: who we are. You've seen too much, You've done too much.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: The next one is somebody I'm confused by. She should
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: not be human. She is not from this world. There's
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: zero chance this person actually exists. We got Andra from
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles, California. She's seventy seven years old. And if
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I saw on the street, I would say, you're forty
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: maybe No way?
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Does she look seventy not even seventy seven? And isn't
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: she related to someone?
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Is that true? Who?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: She's a twin? Actually?
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Someone that was on our show. I believe if I'm
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: not mistaken, it's Sandra's sister.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: No way, way that is true.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: And look at Sandra. She don't look like she's seventy
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: five or seventies.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Who are their parents? Goodness, gracious, you're right. I'm looking
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: at that now. She's one to look out for. She's
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: going to rock his world if he ever thought he
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: was going to date younger, because that's what's better.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: No, she's got her together.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Next we have Carla from Los Angeles, California. She
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: is sixty two years old.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: She likes Safari. She's going to be a lot. Why
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: are right?
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I think so? I mean she I think from the
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: video that we watched too of these women, they just
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: seem confident. And I do think the note there is
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: that you open up the door. You're the season that
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: you were on, open up the door for these women
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: to walk into it without kind of the hesitation of
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: what is this thing? They know what they're getting into?
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, And you know what I loved how they
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: showed them in all colors. It was bright, it was cheery.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Everybody had their own color. When we were all you know,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: very formal, very dark, we all had black and sophisticated,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: and that our true personalities came out. But this is
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: showing personality right off the gain.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I also want to comment on the video that we watched.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I'm just amazed at these women. They are gorgeous, like
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: they they are stunning, incredible careers. Really. You know, we'll
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: keep adding some notes that we saw through the video,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: and I want to hear your thoughts and opinions too,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: But just an incredible cast of people and I'm really
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I am excited to watch them. Up next to you
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: have Carol from Villa Park, California. She is sixty three years.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Old and plays a tambourine. Baby.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: She's also the family manager for Baseball All Star Freddie Freeman.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Right, and loves bad money.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Goodness, gracious, what are we doing? This is amazing.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: No, I can't wait to really know them.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: You know, we got Cheryl, sixty six years old from Inglewood, Colorado,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: right out here where I'm at. Okay, she is really
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: fun of fact. Yeah, but she has fifty motocross trophy.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine? So you know, I used to own
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: a motorcycle when I was fifty. Yeah, I was out
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: in Spain, rant at something and came back and got
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: my license with that. That's I admire that. I can't
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: wait to get to know her as well.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I hope they have some like video footage I want.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: To see here or one of their dates.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just running off and see if he really can't
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: keep up with somebody sixty six years old, he might
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: be a little scared. Next, we got Cindy from Austin, Texas.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: She is sixty years old.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: She dated Chuck Norris. She went on a date with
• 10:18

• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Cindy is sixty years old. Is our youngest that we've mentioned.

  Speaker 2: There's obviously somebody a little younger, but about the age range.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Her grandfather lived to be one hundred and five years old.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Know, God, can I just say to me going on
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: my show? When I was on, I thought, being golden
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: if you will, everybody had to be sixty five.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: That threw me when I looked and saw Joan and
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: this one and that one has to wait a minute.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: You have to have social security before you can.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Be cold I think it's a very I think it's
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: a fair statement.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: It is now I'm looking at sixty Cindy.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: But we do have a sixty five year old in Debbie.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Debbie is from Denver, Colorado. She is from where I'm at.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I'm really loving about these fun facts because we're seeing
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously when you're sixty five years old, you've
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: had a lot of fun facts, but also some of
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: the celebrities they may have dated.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: The Robert Denaro, thank you very much. But she's got
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: a fear of heights, so I hope she don't have
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: to jump off of the bungee jump or anything, or
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: climb the wall like Leslie climbed down the Oh yeah.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: You don't tell the show what you're scared of. I
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: don't do it. Keep it to yourself. If you're scared,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: put that last say the things that you're not scared of,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: because you know she's going to be freaking out.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: How about her smile in her eyes? She's really pretty.

  Speaker 3: For some reason, I have a thing like maybe she'll
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: go far.

• 17:50

  Speaker 2: vegan for nineteen years. She can do handstands in the splits,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: so that will be a wild way. What you got, maw,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: I'm next? You got Peg sixty two years old from
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas, Nevada.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Can't we talk about Peg? First of all, she's got
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: the thickest hair I've ever seen on a woman. And
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: I noticed those things firefighter wait doing bombs for the
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: last few years. Like, this girl's going to be a
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: tough cookie. Nothing's going to get by her. I think
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: she's going to be real to the raw of sense.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that'll hurt her or help her,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like sometimes, yeah, yeah.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I have this image in my head though, host Susan
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: I have to share it of her now or twenty
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: years ago being a firefighter. She goes and saves the
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: building and it's like almost like a TV show where
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: she takes off her helmet and she flips that big
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: old hair like it stop like jaws on the floor,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Like who is this human?
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: She's hot, she's hot, but she's not going to take
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: any no, not that one.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I kind of we need that.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: I look forward to it. Yes.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Robin's sixty three years old from Napa California.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Yes, a wealth advisor and has her own vineyards. Now
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: I could be your friend. Yeah, a wealth advisor. Like really, that's.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Big, it's a big deal. It's it's very different. There
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: is one thing I think that does stand out for
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: this season. These women have like all very specific careers, careers,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: and I'm assuming most of them are either stepping out
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: of those careers and retired or just taking a break
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: to come on the show. But I do think we
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: see a vast array of careers here, everything from advisors
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: to fire fighters to dnnists. I mean, come on, a vineyard.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Do you have your own vineyard? Come on?
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I think it's going to add to the cast conversation
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: when we're hearing how they come into each situation.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: I want to know, is mellow wine lover.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know many people that aren't true.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: This is the true. Yeah.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Roxanne from Austin, Texas. She's sixty three years old.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Sixty three. I thought she was only sixty two.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Well, either sixty two. The website says sixty three. My
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: notes here say sixty two, So let's say sixty two
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: and a half.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Okay, whatever. I just when I look at her, she's
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: going to be a hopeless romantic. I think she's going
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: to fall for him. I mean these are guestimates, of course,
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: but as I read their profile, look at their pictures,
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: and just the way she looks in her picture, she's
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: going to fall in love. Well.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: And she has an interesting note here where she said
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: she sold everything and moved to Costa Rica without knowing anyone.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Is that crazy?
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: I mean it's crazy. She also has entered into a
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: poll dancing competition. She's fiery.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: You gotta love it.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: I'm next. Susie sixty two years old from del Mar, California.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, a real or a real estate person right.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, realtor and also graduated from college at thirty
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: years old as a mom as.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: A mom, well somebody else Andre she got her master's
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: degree at sixty one years old.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: That's the stories I love too.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: I mean that's impressive.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: When I was getting my undergraduate I remember I had
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: two classes with somebody that was probably in their sixties,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: and I remember back then just being like kind of surprised,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: but also looking back now as I'm out of school, like,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: how cool is it that somebody said, you know what, No,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go get myself an education and start
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: my career in my sixties. I think it's awesome. It's
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: absolutely incredible. Terry is seventy one years old from Houston, Texas.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Another one from Texas, a cosmetic dentist. Yes, my implant.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: She could have saved me money probably, But and she's
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: very interesting as well, like Ege and every one of
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: these women have their own thing. And as you said,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: they all talk about being a grandparent. But they're very
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: positive in what they think about life and who they are,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: where they come from. Do you know what I mean?
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: They're not like melting into the background. No, he's got
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: to run for his money.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: She's also she trained herself to be a ventriloquist at
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: nine years old. Have you ever tried that?
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: No, you should wait. I talk to my big I
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: would be the worst person to do it.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Tracy's sixty two years old from Lafayette, Louisiana.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Tracy, Oh, she's an interior designer, a real Southern bell.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Did you see that picture.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's known for her big hats, and she's wearing
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: a hat in this picture.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, I love it.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: She is an interior designer. She enjoys again offshore.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Fishing, these women are fishing.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: It's you know what. So that's the cast, Susan, here's
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: the interesting part of everything.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: I'm just looking at all their pictures like.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: I did too, I was like, this is ridiculous. The
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: video is absolutely incredible. But what are your overall thoughts
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: on the cast at Like, as a whole.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: This is going to be interesting in what way? Because
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's anyone that's really humble. I think
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: they're all big personalities and like I said before, true
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: to themselves, and they're going to step it up a
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: I think they're gonna step it up. And I think
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: what I loved about your season was the confidence that
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: each woman brought into the house. It isn't this, oh
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: my gosh, I'm never going to find love one day
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: for a lot of you. It was this is a
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: second chance at love, and it is. I have my
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: own things going. I don't need this show. I don't
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: need what the show is going to give me. But
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: it's a cool opportunity and it's cool to mix things up.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: So I think the confidence is going to be there.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I'm hoping that when we left our show, my best
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: message of all was letting people know that life is
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: so full of possibilities. Over sixty doesn't mean you're dead.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: It's the best chapter. It might be the last chapter.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Hopefully it's a long one, but it's the best one
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: because we don't care anymore. We've experienced so much. And
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: then after watching us, now the next group coming in,
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: I think they're going to be even bolder and wilder
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: if you will. Yeah, you know they're not going to
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: be afraid.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to see who this skinny dipper is
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: this season in the mornings. That's pretty bold, Susan. We
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: always do this yere at the almost famous podcast before
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: season starts. Can you give me your top three that
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: you think will be there at the very end?
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Who? I think? Debbie Okay, I think maybe Terry. I
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: think it's a lot of Texas people. Robin Robin just
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: what she does, she's very interesting. I think she might
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: be one of the finals. I love peg But and Lisa,
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: I love them, but I don't know.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm with you. I think for me,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be watching Nicole because she can do handstands
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: and I think that's gonna be too.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Or Miami girl.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I think Myleene will be interesting, and I'm gonna put
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Debbie in there, So Debbie, Myleen. What about Lily Pacific Palisades,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: retired elementary school teacher.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: Dancing queen.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, here's the truth of this, Susan. I
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: look at this and I look at people like Diane
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: from Alaska like I need to see their personalities because
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be like I have a feeling
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: mel even if he meant what he said in his interview,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: and maybe this is the thing that most fans should
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: go into the season interested in. I think he's going
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: to be humbled that his thought and opinions were wrong
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: because I think these women are going to give him
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: a run for his money and show him something that
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: he never thought.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, I also wonder about the drama. Do you think
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: they'll be drama? I think some of them women are
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: going to be outspoken, like like my peg, like being
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: that firefighter's she doesn't know how to soften the blow.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: I'm just wondering, Like I remember Kathy and Teresa at
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: the zip it in the whole bit.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the drama looks different during the Golden like the
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: zip it thing in any you know Bachelor Bachelorette season
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: is nothing. It's it's not even shown. So I do
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: think there's always going to be drama because it is
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: going to be a bunch of people in a house
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: and it just gets a little annoying for everybody, and
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be a moment where somebody speaks up. But
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: I don't want the Golden to ever be drama focused.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Oh gosh, that was the best part of our show.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: We really didn't have drama. We were genuinely happy. Whoever
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: got the date, we were thrilled for them. I mean
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: a couple of them were a little wishy washy in
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: the end because they all were, a few of them
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: falling in love. I remember the night before we went
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: to the peer and a couple of women in my
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: room and I was like, are you really in love?
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: And they're crying, Like what am I going to do?
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: West?
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Did I watch the show? You gotta tell them, you
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: gotta tell them who's going to be like the mommy
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: in the house. Like like I was like, took care
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: of everybody. I cooked. I don't know, I'm looking at
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: all these professionals. Nobody said how much they like to cook.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. If we have any Italians on.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Here, maybe that's the problem.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's the big deal. Susan last question
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: for you. We will be recapping every episode of The
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Gold and Bachelor premierees on September twenty fourth, so listen
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: in here to the almost fon this podcast as we
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: get into actually knowing these cast members. But Susan last
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: question for you in relation to this season. Do you
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: think Mel's going to get engaged at the end of this?
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: You know, I have my doubts. I do. I don't
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: know why, but I have my doubts. But I hope
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: he leaves with somebody.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: It feels like there's a lot of a lot of
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: things that need to be crossed over and healed before
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: he can actually say, yes, I'm going to engage this.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: It felt like he came into this a little hesitant
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: and not really knowing what this whole experience was.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: The mouth and yeah, like I said, I'm sure he
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: was just teasing, like not teasing, but there's something that
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: got I say and people say, I hope that's the case.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm giving him the benefit of doubt here. I
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: don't think it was a good move. I think it
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: was probably one of the worst things he could say
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: as the Golden Bachelor. I think it was like did.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: You read the tablet? Like the comments like get a
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: new one, give the guy a break. He made a mistake.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: You know. I'm always up for the underdog, like give
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: somebody a chance.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: To give him a chance. I'm hoping for a love
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: story is what I'm hoping for here again. September twenty fourth,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: The Golden Bachelor will be airing. We are excited about
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: it here at ALM Listeners podcast. It might not seem
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: like it, but I am excited about it. I am
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: just more hesitant going into this season as I was
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: any of the old former Golden seasons. But I am
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: willing to give this guy a benefit of the doubt.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: Don't be hesitant. This is going to be good. These
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: girls are gonna shine.
• 30:52
