• 2:53
  Speaker 3: was on Trista's season of the Bachelorette before they made
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: me the Bachelor. And I will say I still have
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: some of the greatest friendships of my life that I
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: made from my time on the Bachelorette. And I love
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: to see the three of you together from the Golden Bachelor.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Obviously, unfortunately that relationship didn't see, you know, the light
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: of day for too long. When we when we had
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: heard the news about the two of them splitting up,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: and I remember saying, gosh, you know the reasoning behind it?
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: What the public reasoning behind it?
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Which I'm you know, I know you guys probably know
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: way more than I did, But I remember thinking at
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: the time, I was like, when you have grandkids, of
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: course you're not going to uproot yourself and move across
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: the country for some.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Dude or some I got to disagree with you, you
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: would have, huh, because I know somebody's going to pick
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: a SoundBite out of this. Sure if I met the
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: right guy, I would have my home his home.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: I would go and then our home, right, I agree
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: with that. I would be chuse that's what airplanes were
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: made for. I would go and visit my kids every
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks, my grandkids, yep.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: But I would make a home with my house.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: I would have done no, I honestly, that's that's exactly
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: what I said when we talked about this one time before.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I had said that.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: At the time, I was like, God, I would think,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: why can't you stay where you're at? And then you know,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: maybe a week on a week together, you know, and
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: you find a place that.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: You can't have a media it's meant to be and
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: you're meant to be together. That can be working. You
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: always can work it out, exactly.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, I just wish that would have happened.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I do too, But it's hard to work out if
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: someone's working full time and isn't ready to move.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Right well in the public eye, you know, there is
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: when there's scrutiny on you, and you know, I remember,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: you know, even yeah, when I was a bachelor, I
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: remember going into you know, Kroger and seeing my name
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: on the cover with a with a.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Rumor, and I'm like, oh, what the hell's going on?
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: You know. He was like everything is like you know,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: everything is like, you know, trying to crack the code.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: So I get it.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: That puts added pressure on it too, you know, And
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: so we the benefit from, you know, coming off of
• 5:02

• 5:16
  Speaker 3: job of this too, where it was you know, he
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: he wanted everyone to be friends too, you know, just
• 5:21

• 6:34
  Speaker 2: You know what you learn so much? Do you like
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: to camp? I am going to have to remember how
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: to do it. I'm not either. My idea of camping
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: is no phone in the room, phone in the room, right,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: but still on a TV. No. Yeah, that's how my
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: family got started camping. Seriously. My oldest was a Cub
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Scout and my husband was a den leader, and we
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: as a family went camping and I never camped. Oh
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: you have to do it a lot. Yeah, and now
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I love to camp. Do you really? Oh? Yeah, I
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: still do it.
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it's not my thing. Wait a minute, I
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: don't massage save snakes, you know.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Snakes and spiders. Man, I can do without those. I
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: am done. You know what if the rule number one
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: when you go camping zip zip it. Well, in this case,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: it's zip your tent. Just keep it zipped. When you're
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: out of the tent, keep it zipped. And it's no problem.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Last time I went camping, my wife and I went
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: camping with some friends and they actually, you talk about
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: how far camping has come. Like we had a blow
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: up movie theater going, we had we.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Made homemade donuts. Yes, yeah, there you go. That's even
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: a better way to go. Yeah, I mean I like showers. Yes,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: make sure listen, here's your primer if you go camping,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: wear flip flops in the shower because you don't want
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: to foot fungus. This is good to know. Good to know.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Bring the doring fire starters. Yep. Bring lots of warm
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: clothes because it gets cold at night. Bears, hang, here's
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: a tree. Yes, there's all kinds of things that you
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: so much here at the almost famous O G podcast,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Who knew the thing I would say is, don't need
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of fire bread the day before you.

• 9:32
  Speaker 2: hear the one want our opinions. Sometimes we look at it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: We don't agree every time, but we'll look at the
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: other guy. Good luck. I have a question, Well, I
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: have a question.
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: Do you think that people when they call in do
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: you think it's sort of the same as texting, Like
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: they're not present, they're not in person, they don't.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Have to look at you. I don't think so they
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: feel brave to say hey, and then they give you
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: some No. I think they tell their I think it's
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: quite the opposite. I think because it's anonymous, they tell
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: you the deep, dark secrets. We had won a couple
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: of weeks ago on our podcast, Susan and I did
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: everything we could do not to laugh. And I won't
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: go into it in detail, but someone was going through
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: this incredibly long story about their relationship, and and we're
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: reading it, we're thinking, oh my god, this poor person.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: What are they going to do?
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Then?
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: And then at the end the person said I've only
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: known them a month, and bothos were like.
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: Deep, like you've been together twelve years really, and they
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: asking what to do and whether they should be together,
• 10:56
  Speaker 8: and and of course first thing come out of my
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: mouth was you've been together a month.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, if.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: You're already questioning it that much, it's just probably no,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like, let's just move along
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: and people share.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Some things that they just want to know what we've had.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: We've had people write in and tell us how our
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: advice helped them. Oh that's so nice.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Well that you two are like really fun and you
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: do have great experiences. And then I've seen the vibe
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: you guys have with the three of you. It's like
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: it is this would be a great show too.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I would like to like to run our own like
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: say whatever we want.
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: Sometimes we're getting a little closer to breaking some rules.
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: So and we get more feedback when we talk about
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: us and not all business.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: But let me say something about Nancy that people don't know.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Here we go, we're going to talk about everybody holds
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: your breath.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Just hear something about Nancy. Susan and I are rather vociferous,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: vocal outspoker, all those all those words. Nancy sits back quietly.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: But if you wait, Nancy one out in the brilliant
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: brilliance and it's funny and it's heartfelt and it's brilliant.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I just don't give her a chance a lot, and
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I just say wait.
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: And then I use an expletive and then I.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Say that, and then I go, it's my charm, say something.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: And then it burnin and she's in the back. We're lost.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: It's some island. Oh my god. I can't make this up.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: And you know what that it builds memories. Well, that's
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: how friendships are made.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: And we're already truly going on the show on the
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Golden Bachelor was the best blessing truly for me, and
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: I think I can speak for both of these these
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: two as well, that we never expected the experience to
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: be as wonderful as it was. And it's a lasting friendship.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: It's not like the show was over. We talk every day,
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: every three or four days or whatever.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, come on that at least six times. I love it,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: But truly there's witson from Nancy. She's absolutely right. The
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: friendships that we have. I know that I could call
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: either one of these two and say I need you
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I have and they're there and they say, we're the closest.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: We still talk to all the ladies the same. I'm
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: talking a lot to Joan. I want her leftovers.
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: No, we are all going to get a chance at that.
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: But I think going on this show, I don't think that.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: All of us.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Expected this, and so it was kind of a surprise
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: and we were like, oh my.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Gosh, it's the best product of doing it. We are
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: going to take quick break here with Kathy, Susan and
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Nancy from The Golden Bachelor, and we'll be back in
