• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and then I go four weeks without playing. Yes, there's
• 1:55

• 2:18
  Speaker 2: in that game that he smacked the ball and smacked
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Are you right in there?

  Speaker 1: much fun. So absolutely, I.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Feel like it is so fun and you can do
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: it at any age. I mean I learned from probably
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the age age range of my teachers was seventy to
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: eighty years old. Really, I'm not kidding. They taught me
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: so much about how to play pickle and so much
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: about what is fun about it, like the social elements,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: like girl time, I mean even couple time, couple's time.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: You know. I just love it for all of those reasons.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I have a confession. Oh, before we played, I watched
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: some pickleball videos and I was getting so confused. Here's
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the five tips and tricks on pickleball that. Yeah, I'm saying,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: how do I remember all of this?
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I It's really hard to remember.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: It is complicated, but you'll get it the more you play.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: It's like anything, Okay, right, I trust here.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: The more you play, the better, easier to come. Easier
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: it will come. Sorry, I've had some wine. Okay. So
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Bachelor in Paradise have you been watching? Oh?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, I've been watching. I love it so much. And
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I was so fortunate to go visit Leslie again and
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: so I got to see the first her episode when
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: she had a date with Gary, and I was thrilled
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: for her, and thrilled for all the women who were
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: on of course, and all the men and so and
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: we while we were here, we watched episode five and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: we watched part of it last night and part of
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: it this morning, and it's just I absolutely love it.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I think it's so good, you know what. I like
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a lot the captions that they have under everyone and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: like days and confused. Yeah, it's like it's so clever
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and photography is gorgeous. Absolutely, Isn't it said that?
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Okay? So Bob and I were talking about it when
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: it first started, I think after the first episode, so
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: we recapped the second episode, and there are people in
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Bachelorne who are definitely pureists, like they want to see
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the same thing happen every season, right, And I think
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: because it's not in the same location and it's kind
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: of a different vibe, like some people are maybe thinking,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: why don't you go back to how it was? For
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I love it. I think that the cinematography or videography
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: or whatever you want to call it is really beautiful.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I keep saying that, like, oh my god, look at
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: that job. I think it's beautifulful, And you know, it
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: might be so much at once for people to take. Yeah,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: they don't like change, right, but it's these are all great, creative,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: incredible ideas, yes, and they're executed so well.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm really enjoying it. And I love the
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: captions too. There was one where Zoe said I'm so
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Gucci or I'm Gucci, and then in the caption it
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: said Zoe is not Gucci. So cute. I love how clever.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: And then the sequences.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about the dream stuff. I'm not.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I wasn't such a huge fan because I'm like, listen,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: these guys are not actors and actresses. We don't need
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: them to be playing out like a scene from a movie.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I just want to know what's happening for me at least.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: But I get that, you know, some people enjoyed them. Yeah,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I just want to know. I guess I'm a purist
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: in that way. Is that it's all about the development
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: of the relationships for me.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I gotcha. But okay, the Leslie with the rose in
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: her mouth, okay, yeah, and then Gary, Oh they did
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a dream sequence. Yes, I haven't seen that. Oh, okay,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I it's good.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: No, it's fine, don't you're not It doesn't It doesn't matter.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know what has happened since I just
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: watched it myself.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, I get you not appreciating that, but yeah, I
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: do I'm embracing all of the changes, love them.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Good for you. Is there part of you that wishes
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: you were there, that had that you had done it?
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: You know what? Just a little bit in the beginning,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: but really not. Ok Then, I'm just applauding them, and
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I want them to have their day in the sun
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and enjoy it and just enjoy watching them. So no,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I just I'm applauding them all and reading for them.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I think I'm okay with it. Okay, I'm good.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Because were you asked to be on it?
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I was. I was asked to be on it. I
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: went through the whole process, all right, and you know,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: they ask you who you would like to be with,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: and I just couldn't. I couldn't see myself with anyone,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: and I didn't want to take anyone away from anyone
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: if that were to happen. So, you know, I just didn't.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be true to myself, and so I'd
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: rather just watch it and enjoy it. And I've been
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: doing that.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Love that. So let's talk about that for a second,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: because I feel like we mentioned it when we first
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: saw each other. This week. It's hard because Bachelor in
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Paradise is full of people from the shows, and there
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: have been a lot of Bachelor's and bachelorettes that they
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: can draw from. There have not been a lot of Goldens,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: so they only have a small population of people to
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: draw from from either Golden Bachelor or Golden Bachelerette. There's
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: only been one season for each, so that is hard
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: because you know, not everyone can leave and dedicate the
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: summer to you know, Bachelor in Paradise. And also a
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: lot of the people from the shows are in relationships
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: since they were on the show.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, right, right, So many of the men are
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: in relationships. Yeah, so there weren't that many men left.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: And then April goes and chooses Jonathan, so that took
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: another Golden person away.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you are so right.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: So many of the men, thank thankfully found partners for sure,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and they're so happy.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: And so it was the hope that maybe there would
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: be other people. Yeah, so far there haven't been.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so well, hopefully there will be. Hopefully there will be. Yeah,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously we know there's a Golden Bachelor coming up,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: coming up, and hopefully there will be another Golden Bachelorette,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: and then maybe there will be another bachelor.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: So many people, and if I go on, there'll be
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: so much competition. That's right.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Would you do it in the future, I would?
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, I would do it in the future.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: If they do it again, I'd be.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: The only I'd be the only seventy three year old
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: continuing with all these sixty year olds. Stop to arrest
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: my progression of my agent. Would we all like to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: do that?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: I would? Okay? So who are you rooting for? Which
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: couple are you rooting for? For the all? I know,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I know what the answer is, but let's tell.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Me and Gary rooting for them? Of course? And like
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Gary is so charismatic, like he's really so to speak,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: commanding the stage. He's got all eyes on him. Okay, good,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and so many Like I said, I haven't seen him,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: okay good? And so yeah, he I don't know if
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: he's surprised by it, but he just came in and
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: there was an immediate attraction with Leslie. So I'm rooting
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: for them. And then I know that Kathy and Keith
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: are together, so maybe they'll be together, okay, And I well,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Nancy did go on a date with Gary, so I
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: could be wrong about Gary. And Leslie could be Gary
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and Nancy. Okay, right, Faith just came on, right, so
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: she could be with someone. Is there's still and I
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: can't wait to see.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I'm really expection. Who do you think is approaching the
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Paradise experience the best.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Way in among anyone in the enter anyway?
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: You can talk about the young Bucks or the Goldens.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: So I really do love Kat Yeah, she's doing I mean,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: she's got she seems to have her head on straight, right,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: and so when she approaches down with what she's concerned about,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: uh huh, he keeps on veering off track and she
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: gets in back to center. Yep, I'm looking at Jonathan saying,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: what is Jonathan's role in this? Like, is he seems
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: like a wandering guy? What is he looking for? What's
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: his end game here?
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Stirring the pot?
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's stirring the pot. You know. Kathy plays a
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: really good role. She's doing things that she's never done before,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: like taking a shot that was really nice, right, yeah,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I mean all of and then yeah, so many of
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the young people. I'm intrigued. I'm just intrigued by the
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: relationships and oh my gosh, did you see the scene
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: with the birds and they're costumes. Oh my god, they're incredible.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I've seen the credible urgeons.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Really, I mean they each one out did the other.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: And then beautiful, my gosh, Brian. So there was a
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: scene with Brian and his partner Parisa beautiful and they
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: do get the sweet and so they're on two different pages.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: So Parisa starts by asking him what's your favorite color?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Really just to break the ice, but his head is,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: you know what, we're not doing that, We're not doing it,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and he wanted to have this just completely romantic, and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I think most people are siding with Parisa, and I
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: really do see Brian's point in this.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I see sad. It's it's really good, Okay, amazing. What
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: about the money? Since I haven't watched what's has Jesse
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: said anything more about the money? And what do you
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: think about it?
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Now? All he said is that it's going to get
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: to that point, but he really hasn't explained exactly. Like
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: it's so frustrating. There's so little reveals about it. It's
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: intriguing that you're going to someone is actually going to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: win half a million dollars, but they don't say how
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: they get there.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: They haven't told us. How so what do you think
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: about that? Do you think that that contained like a
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: romantic relationship, especially one that just started.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I think it probably does. I think that they're trying
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: to test the relationships to see which relationship is the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: real deal and what's the true relationship. Yeah, so I
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: think that I know that in the previews they do
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: say Okay, from now on, there will be no more
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: new people. So the couple you're, the person you're with,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: is the person you're going to be with, and you're
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: going to face every challenge with this program it. So
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I would imagine you eventually get to the point where
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: you're considered for the half million dollars.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's changing from Bachelor in Paradise to like Bachelor
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Pad after they have solidified the relationships and then they
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: compete as a team for the money.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was a It seems to be a
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: complete surprise to everyone who's on the show, right, that
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: wasn't total to them beforehand. So imagine just being told okay,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: now you could possibly win amazing.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Let me bring up something that I don't know if
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I just don't know this because I haven't watched, but Susie,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I feel like just posted something on Instagram saying I
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: just found out about the money, Should I go back?
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Something like that. I don't know if she was asking
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: or if she's going back. She hasn't gone back, she
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: has not gone Okay, I wonder if they're going to
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: ask people to go back.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. Oh I didn't think of that.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Wow, like anybody who have who has already gone home.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: But if they can go back and maybe be part
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: of the money.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: That would not be fair. I would not get there.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: You made the choice to go home. No, I don't
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: think you should come back. You should not be able.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Well they didn't make a choice, they didn't know.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but Jeremy. Okay, So Jeremy regretted not giving the rose.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Oh yes, I agree, yes, And oh my gosh, that's
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: kind of I love it. I mean, of course I
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: love all things Bachelor at what everything, I've watched everything,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: and so it's kind of like a family to me.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I love No, I love it too,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: so yeah. So oh yeah, So Jeremy and Bally are together,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: and it's they have to be seen if they'll stay together.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well you have to be seen if everyone
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: to keep up, if you had to sum up your
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: dating life, right now, give me three words for what
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: that would be.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's I'm open, okay to dating. Yeah, I'm I'm
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: really not actively pursuing.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: You're not at I.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Am not actively inactive okay? So no, inactive right? No,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: So I'm not on a dating website, which is what
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I consider actively pursuing it, okay, And I'm very happy
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: with my life.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: So wait, you think active is being on a dating website.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: That's interesting to me, I guess I do. Yeah, So
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: you don't think the dating is like just meeting someone
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: out and about in your town.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what I'm doing, Okay, So that's not inactive. No.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: All I would say is that I'm extremely open to it.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I do want it. I do want a man in
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: my life. Yeah. I do think that having a partner
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: in this world is just really wonderful. And I don't
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: really want to live the rest of my life alone.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. And so I'm just
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: saying that I'm doing it more with just an open mind,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: going out into the world and maybe putting it out
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: there and telling people. Because now when people approach me
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: in the street and they just say hi. You know
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: that's I think it's the most wonderful thing in the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: world that they say, Oh, we're so sorry, we didn't
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: mean to bother you, but it's never a bother. Yes,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: it's been the greatest thing to meet new people and
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: so even to tell them and people have been saying, oh,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I know somebody. Oh I'm just hoping like that could
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: have happened, right, for sure, it could happen.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Please. I met my husband inter national television show and
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: we've been married for twenty two years.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: That's amazing.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: So yeah, no, and you met somebody that you shared Yes,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: I did a great relationship with for a while.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did. It can happen.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: It can happen. If they did another season of The
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Golden Bachelorette, Yeah, would you be interested in that role?
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Oh? Absolutely, really interested? Okay.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, you're throwing your name in the ring.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I'm throwing it in the ring.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay. And would you do anything differently than the
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: way that Joan did it?
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I would, Okay, how you know, I probably would.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I would be open to kissing a lot more, okay, Yeah,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: and exploring it with each person and maybe being really
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: flirtatious and having a lot of fun. I know that
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: she held back and maybe she, you know, was concerned
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: about her family seeing her kissing someone. I'm really I'm
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: really open to that, and I'm affectionate and I would
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: like to see that and explore that. And yeah, I would.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I would get such a kick out of it. It
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: would be so much fun. Yeah, that'd be great.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Well, hopefully they'll do it. Oh, you know, I hope so,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: I hope that from Golden Bachelor they will.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm really looking forward to Golden Bachelorette to the
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Golden Bachelor.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Are you what are you? What are your thoughts on him?
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Oh? You really want to know my thoughts? You guys
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: were well, okay, so you know that. Unfortunately, he did
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: say something, Yeah, tell us what age? He said that
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: his preferred age range was forty five to sixty. Yeah,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I guess he didn't realize that the minimum age was sixty.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: And you know what, I do want to say this
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: that if you look at all of the men who
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: are on Jones season, they are all with much younger women,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: and I just think that's the way of the world.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: You mean, the men who are now in relations.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: And relationships, Yes, and it's not that I haven't been
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: approached by young men, but yeah, much younger men. It
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: seems like much younger men, which wouldn't work whatsoever. Yeah,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: so you don't think you don't think that would work?
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Oh no, like a thirty year old, that's what I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think. So they can't be younger
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: than my son. I have a son from forty eight.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I can't be younger than my son. Got it? But yeah,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: so he said that, But I think that when he
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: sees these women are gorgeous just down, yes, juftain gorgeous,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure they're delightful and intelligent. Yes, And it's
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: going to make for such an interesting show. And so
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: he's going to say, oh, they're beautiful. Oh and I
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: didn't realize and how great they are.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's What would you have said to him if
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: you were in that room with him when we said that,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: I would have.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Said, yeah, absolutely, you shouldn't want a data as sixty
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: year old, because you know, I'm a seventy year old.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I've got this wrinkly skin and I've got no muscle tone,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: and I'm just ugly, and we're all ugly. Absolutely shouldn't.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: So I was just say, oh my.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: God, mel Yeah, I don't think that was that was Yeah,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: I heard about that, and yeah, definitely.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I mean it's a thing. It just seems like it's
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: a thing.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: So for him, for him, yeah, I think it's unfortunate
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: because I think there is so much beauty in women
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: who you know, like obviously it showed where his values are. Yeah,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: and I hope that after that that it opened his
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: eyes to agism and to looking at women differently and
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: knowing that a beautiful woman doesn't have to be wrinkle
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: free and you know, with no gray hair and no
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: hip replacements or whatever. He said, you know, like with
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: all their joints intact right, and it's right.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: It's just like prejudice in any other thing.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: I know. I completely agree and like to prejudge based on.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Their age, on their age, or their color or their sexuality.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Just take each person for who they are and just
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: look at the beauty of that person, right, and doesn't matter, right,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I mean of people. And if that was a problem
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: for him that he wanted someone in shape, it could
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: be of any age and beautiful any age.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: And I know people in their seventies that are really fit.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: So okay, you know what I mean like that, No,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be seventy two.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: In a week, so and happy early birthday. Oh thank you,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: You look beautiful. I mean, like, I think that I
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: really hope that he arrived at the Bachelor Mansion and
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: saw these women and thought, oh, I really put my
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: foot in my mouth.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: And I hope that he apologizes. Yeah, and it's on
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the show. I agree with you. I hope that they
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: they face that head on and they address that issue
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the better and he apologizes. They better not to ignore
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: it because the whole world saw it. And I think that,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: you know, he probably didn't even realize that that was
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: going to be seen anywhere, and.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Well it wasn't it was wasn't it a podcast?
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Like whatever, Like he should know. He should know
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: he's speaking on a public platform and anything you say
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: will be picked up, you know, like and go viral
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: or whatever. So you he he if.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: He knew, if he didn't know, he knows, now, Yeah.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sorry if you think that you're going
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: on television and people aren't going to pick up what
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: you say on a podcast.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: And I would say anybody who says they're not going
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: to watch it because of that, I think they're going
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: to watch.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: I think, yeah, you're because they want to know what
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: he was going to do. But ages is a thing.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: It is a very sad thing. I specifically remember Joan
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: saying on Golden Bachelor that she felt invisible, and I
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: hate that. I feel that. I feel that at fifty two,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: you know, when you're surrounded by like younger people, and
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: even if you have you know, high vibrations or whatever,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: I feel like I can feel myself becoming invisible as
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: I get older. So I hate that. I hate that
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: for anyone who feels that way, and for him to
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: make women who are older than sixty feel invisible more
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: so because of what he said, it just hurt. It
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: like makes me really sad. So I really hope he
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: learned his lesson.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: And I will tell you being here this week with
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: younger people, yeah some of these people were my son's age.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah are my son's age, and they treated us like themselves.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: There was no age difference whatsoever.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I didn't feel like I was an outsider. I felt
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: like I was one of everyone and I and that
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: was so wonderful. Yeah, that makes me happy.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, a new season of Dancing with the Stars
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: is coming. Would you ever want to be on that show?
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah? No, but I couldn't. I couldn't. I have to
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: tell you why because Leslie. Okay, tell me, Leslie wants
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: it so badly, and there's no way that I would
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: get if someone asked me, I go no, no, just
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: get it to Leslie. Oh that's sweet.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Do you know I was on the show.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, no I did. I'm sorry, don't apologize
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: you were.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I was. I was the very first one ever kicked.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's it. Why? Oh my god? After
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: how many? How many weeks?
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Oh lord? I just did two two weeks congrastration, there
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: were six of us, okay, and now it's like fifteen
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: twenty people. So there were only six of us because
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: they really didn't know if it was going to fly,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: if it was going to be something that people would watch.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I was a dancer, like a professional dancer. I dance
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: for the my wo and yeah, I got beat in
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: a dancing competition by Evander Holyfield.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Wow, It's totally fine. I loved the experience, so I
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: can say if Leslie passes it up for some reason,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: and you get asked, if they're going to ask, you
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: should do it because it really was incredible. It must
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: be an incredible experience.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: It's incredible.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: But I will say I feel like back in the
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: day when it first started, it is definitely not as
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: labor intensive as it is now. Like they rehearse I
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: feel like twenty hours a day, not a week day.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: And I think that Louis would come, my partner would
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: come to Veil on his own dime, and we would have,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: you know, a few rehearsals, and then he would go
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: back to Utah and then we'd go to La maybe
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: a day or two before the show. It was so stressful.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: I wish I would have had the rehearsal time. But
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: at the same time, I was kind of a newly
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: married woman. I wanted to still spend time with my husband,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: and at that time, my partner was not out as
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: gay he is now. But there was like, you know,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: this whole thing, this whole dynamic about your dancing very
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: seductively with a man with another man, and you know,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: we were newly married, you know, for a couple of years,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: and it's stressful in that regard, but it is so
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: much fun if you like things out of your boss,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: out of your normal comfort zone or out of the box.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: I think that it is such an incredible experience.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: So if you're at the opportunity, oh my god, it
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: must should be such an feel like such an accomplishment
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: to do something like that.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, when you get kicked off first, you don't
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: really feel like it's.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: An accomplishment today. That's great, No, it did.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: It did feel good to actually learn something new.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know that other women on my show
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: would love to be on it. I'm sure so. And
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I would root for anyone who got on, and I
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: would love to be in the audience and cheer them on.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Of course, anybody who wants says, go for it. Does
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: anybody gets offered, Yes, go for it?
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah for sure? Okay, awesome. Well, thank you Teresa so
