Speaker 1 (05:47):
Has he done the work? This guy, I don't haven't
aske him yet. Well, you don't need to ask him.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Are you nervous?
Speaker 4 (05:59):

Speaker 4 (06:10):
This is wild.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
That's that guy's now in the past.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
But why are men like that? Why?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I mean, I don't know, I mean honestly, but right away.
I mean, first of all, you shouldn't have engaged.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
I try to be nice. No, because I met him
on the pod.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I didn't want to be time is valued.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
No, I don't like to be rude, don't wan people
to be alone.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
But this is rude, like that the monologues and the
telenovelas like that is first of all, this guy has
zero sense of any type of like awareness obviously zero,
like the fact that he's sending you this and you're
not responding for most of it, and then if you are,
it's one sentence. The guy has to literally check himself.
That I mean, he has no self awareness, right, That's
what this tells me without even reading it.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Maybe because he's an er doctor in.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Doctor should not should be selfless. I'm about to interview Gary.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Oh my god, you are to get everything. You have
to get quality. We need to know everything.

really refreshing. When I walked in here, I was like,
came in, as you know, all flustered, and I was like, hi,

my face and you were just zen. So I actually
will take that and I will First of all, that
is a green arrow like that's a green flag for
(10:28):

now not so much, but you were. And so when
she asked you to go on a date, right to
go and do this tonight with her and go on
your official date? Was that hard for you to accept?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Or it wasn't hard at all? No, not at all.
Runner up, first place, second place. I'm the guy that's
you know, that gets to to go and have fun, so.

Exactly not see a man with no ego is the
sexiest thing in the world. Would you say ego?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
No ego here? I mean, you know, there's a difference
in ego and confidence. I am very confident being the
man that I am, and it feels good. It feels good.

I've been down that road.
Speaker 1 (11:32):

Speaker 2 (11:34):
I do believe in the institution of marriage. I do.
In fact, I know she's right around the corner. I
want to see her face, I want to hear her voice.
But yeah, I think it would be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
You're talking about Kelly. So when you go into this,
are you thinking about the future.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
I'm just in the moment. I didn't want to, but hey,

to all right, you stay absolutely love it.
Speaker 1 (12:18):

Speaker 2 (12:24):
I'm not really sure how to answer that. Ask me again,
Ask me again.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I don't even know what I just asked. You're off
to a great start. Well, yeah, you are ready for
the future. Yes.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I like to stay in the moment. Okay, in the present,
in the moment, in the present, the here, the now.
This is all we have is right now. Do I
look forward to the future, Absolutely, But I enjoy where
I'm at right now. And what's coming is going to
(12:54):
be a fabulous evening. I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
That's right. And are you dating other people right now?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
The infamous dating?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Because you know it's it's it's.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
How are we quantifying dating? Right? Dating as in going
on dates? Dating is in there is one special person.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
What's your definition of dating?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I think my definition of dating is oh my should.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Anymore?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
You're keeping this fun in Lewis. I like that. I
think of dating as taking someone out to eat on
a regular basis. Just this is your date, not just
for the evening, but someone that you're with and spending
time with.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
And so when you do when you're there with somebody,
are you allowed to do that with somebody else?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I don't think that would be a good idea to
do that.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You're a loyal man. Yeah, yeah, what's your sign?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I'm aries the ram.
Speaker 1 (13:55):

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Get engaged and then, like you guys, we're just gonna
do it. We're gonna make it quick. We're going to
go to Vegas.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
You know, let's do it and do it fast and
then just don't look back.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Correct, We're in the now.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
That's what's important.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I love it. So what are you hoping to learn
about Kelly? Are you do you have a type? Like
is your type?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Well, I would answer that I think all women are
your type, and character is very important that comes with that,
and then there are a host of other things for me.
Just seeing her h in her fun moment, you know,
I like, again, this is probably a third time I've
mentioned this. When we stay in the moment and have
(15:04):
as much fun as we can, and that's what I
want to see in her. How much fun are you having?
How much fun can I bring to your world right now?
Because this only is going to be for the moment.
Right now, this is all we have, So I'm looking
forward to her funny out how much fun she likes
to have.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Do you meditate?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
I don't meditate. No, I pray. I pray. I'm Christian
and I'm a good christ Like man. And I again,
you know, I used to be afraid to say that.
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I don't know either, I mean, but I can guess
over the past six years, I have really grown to
be an amazing light, if you will that I like
to carry and inspire and motivate and all of those things.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
So I feel it. Yeah, thank you so much. I
can't wait to grill you. Came no goodness, I will
have my one eye.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
You have to be nice to me.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Is religion one more question? Is religion important and spirituality
important for you and whoever your partner will be.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I think it is. I think that you have to
be equally yolked in that way. I think if you
have some of the same beliefs that it's very important
and can go a long way. Yeah, thank you, until
next time until we meet again.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Seeing a bit, see you in a bite a bit.

And you know, I always tell all my friends, I'm like,
you're never going to have this conversation this way ever again.
This is this is, this day is never going to
come again, and so we have to really really be
mindful and grateful for what we have and who we
are and where we're going. So I I have the
exact same philosophy.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Some people are like, I mean, it's funny the boxes
in my head.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah, I liked it. I'm keeping score. Don't worry. Now,

that you probably would be interested in hearing. Okay, do
you remember how many use all of or not all
of olives? The Gray Groost? Did you have? Is that

Speaker 4 (20:30):
So I was like, that's great, and then he kept
texting me saying.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Was im, I don't know talking about like we haven't
even met yet, and so we had such a fun time.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Did she hold up to your fun standards?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
She totally, she exceeded it because just being her and
who she is, just her personality and her character made
it easy for me. Yeah. So it was fun.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Absolutely, you're a good time. Yeah, you have really great
energy about you. Just in case no one heard.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
That, I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
You know.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
It was really interesting is that Gary was like, well,
I'm you know, I was kind of like the runner
up on the dating game, and so I was kind
of like I.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Just took someone's place. I'm like no, no, no no, because
I was going to choose you. I like that. I was, well, yeah,
I was going to choose you. And then I was like, wait,
which I do? Whichuld I do? And I was like fine.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
It was the song that ultimately obviously it was meant
to be.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Yes, let's not talk about the past right.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Right, the talk about where you are right now, what's
in front of what is unfolding in front of us
right now?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
And what is that just we're having such a good time.
We had so much fun.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
It really was okay.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
What I really liked was how we were playing off
of each other. The batchero meets the housewife.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Mm hmm. That's show itself.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
That is he does the cooking and the singing and
she does nothing.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Well, I wanted her to I wasn't gonna say nothing.
I want her to say that.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
I know what I was saying.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I was like, house would I say these jobs our
husbands they lose their lives bachelors like they get a wife,
they get a family, get.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
We get nothing.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
But we're going to change that narrative.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yes, totally, totally. Yeah, she is still deserving of something
so much more and bigger and grander.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Cheryl is a big reason that I'm actually I'm here today.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
I want so much together. And Cheryl was like, you
have to do the work, and the work is the work. Yeah,
and it's like not just.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Like sitting at the therapist and having them say like,
you know, you're so great.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
That's the wrong work, that's the wrong therapist. She must
be fired.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
I mean, there's certain things that Cheryl says sometimes and
I'm like, I don't know what she's talking about, but
you do. But then I googled it and I was like,
oh my god, I just ask me google It means.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I love you.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
That's so cute.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Like what she was like, are your attachment, I'm like like.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
A super glue or.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Correct.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I'm more like double tape, like I can get away.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, it's actually more.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
But since learned, are you valc No, I'm not valcal.
I have been valco though I have been.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah, thank good Thank goodness. I don't think she is.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Has any Have you ever been ghosted before?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Me?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Personally?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Just like never, never.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
They're a good man, Like you're a really good man.
I feel in my bones. Yeah, and my bones are
right most of the time, not for me but for
other people.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Well, but I get that. And you know, as I
told you earlier, I'm just comfortable in my own skin
being the man that I am. Yeah, and I'm not
afraid of me. Before it was like I was afraid
to just be.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Me.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Right. You put up all these facades in these different things,
But now I don't really care what you think or say.
I'm comfortable in saying why I am in the things
I like to do.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
And here's a perfecticular waited a hold on, but I
need to give you a perfect example of him being
is that we're talking you, we're talking to the press
and they're like, we're talking. They're talking about Mariah Carry
at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, and they're like, sing a
song and Mariah has song.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
The song and instead of.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
I'm saying like, I don't know the words or whatever,
he just starts singing a song with words.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Like me he's made up. But that was a tone
of Carry.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
And I'm just like, let me hear.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
I'm like, I don't know that song. It's okay.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I don't listen to the words.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
A song had like the may Carry melody. And I'm
just like.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
We're all.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Either like like song and faces like.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
But the words I don't really and I'm looking at
kill it. She's like he just keep going.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Keep saying you're doing great, You're doing great.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I love that you are really comfortable in your own skin.
Speaker 2 (25:51):

met yesterday. He's like, that's Kelly. I'm gonna say hi
and say hello to her, introduce myself.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
So you knew what she looked like. You knew her.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Of course when we did our dating game, I got
a chance to see her and she didn't see us.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
It was a dating game, you know, you don't get
to see the contestant who you're you know, asking the questions.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I got it. Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
The voice I'm hoping she remembered.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
But the voice.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
I was like, how can you not? I know?
Speaker 2 (26:36):

Where's my shirt?
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Well, first of all, I'm just a phone call me
and you both are not good to Texas. I suck
at that, but I hope this is something you guys
continue doing now the long distance? Does that bother you?
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Or yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
But you know what, like I can go in wherever
I want. Yeah, there's a plane, there's a train, that's
an autumn being.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Like this is an international airport.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Now, so it's a lot easier said than done, just
saying yeah, I'm not going to be the you know,
bearer of bad news. I could easily go down that
rabbit hole. But because that's if you do, I hope
you don't.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Right because I did in all transparency.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
I did meet someone who was super nice, like it
was from California and he's so great, but I was
just like, there's no way.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
I mean, I live in New York City, Like I
live in New York.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
City, but it's different now.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Well also he had young, younger children too, so.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
I also felt like you young No, no, no, like
they're they're teens.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
I mean, they're beautiful kids.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I never met them, but I just was also like,
that's like, okay, how is that.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Going to work?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
And like we're going to have to take X amount
of time in order for me to meet the kids
and what's going to happen?
Speaker 4 (28:59):
And like I get in my head too, I'm like,
you know, unfortunately I need to like shut the head of.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Figure what's next for us?
Speaker 4 (29:07):
What is next for us? I don't know we're going
to I know we have to figure it out.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Do you not like to talk too far in advance,
like especially you, because you.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Say some dudes, I think that it's good to have
a plan to look forward to something. But the gift
is right now, correct, this is the gift?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yes, But you know you don't always live by that,
do you?
Speaker 4 (29:35):
You always you'd.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Be surprised how important it is.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
He also has a big meeting on my.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Actually, I have one more question. Are you religious?
Speaker 4 (29:47):
I am?
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I know that about you.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Catholic?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I love it well. I am technically Catholic. I was
baptized and everything. I mean, like my mom goes to church.
I used to go to church every Sunday. But I
do believe in God.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
I do too, and I mean I don't. I don't
tell anyone to do anything.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
I just believe in spiritual integrity.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
The beauty is that we can all have our spirituality
and the things that we believe in. I'm Christian, right,
I'm not going to thumple Bible in someone's face about faith.
That's great because that's what I believe in. You know,
youve got to respect people for the film because.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I did ask Gary today. I was like, is that
important to you? And I didn't know that about you,
so I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
What's important to me is when people have a moral
code and a moral compass. That's like really really, because.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
I do you know, I always try to do the
right thing, even though it's not the right thing for me.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
But can people do that without believing in the Higher power?
Speaker 4 (30:49):
I don't really know.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
I don't really think so, because they in order to
have a moral compass, you have to have respect for
something bigger than yourself.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Yeah, and I'll give you a short one with that.
If you're going to talk the talk, you got to
walk the walk. And if you just talk and you
don't walk, then people are looking at you saying, eh,
not real, for real, Yeah, faking all this. And so
if they're not true to themselves, how can they be
true to their partner or anything else. Yeah, so you
(31:20):
got to walk the walk.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Yeah, just don't talk.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
It's hard. Thank you Kelly and Gary for letting us

I didn't want to be time is valued.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
No, I don't like to be rude, don't wan people
to be alone.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
But this is rude, like that the monologues and the
telenovelas like that is first of all, this guy has
zero sense of any type of like awareness obviously zero,
like the fact that he's sending you this and you're
not responding for most of it, and then if you are,
it's one sentence. The guy has to literally check himself.
That I mean, he has no self awareness, right, That's
what this tells me without even reading it.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Maybe because he's an er doctor in.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Doctor should not should be selfless. I'm about to interview Gary.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Oh my god, you are to get everything. You have

in such a great way.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
So that's beautiful. I feel like you're very is actually
really refreshing. When I walked in here, I was like,
came in, as you know, all flustered, and I was like, hi,
I see me. You like trying to put lipline around
my face and you were just zen. So I actually
will take that and I will First of all, that
is a green arrow like that's a green flag for
(10:28):
sure and an arrow. So you were runner up? Yes,
now not so much, but you were. And so when
she asked you to go on a date, right to
go and do this tonight with her and go on
your official date? Was that hard for you to accept?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Or it wasn't hard at all? No, not at all.
Runner up, first place, second place. I'm the guy that's
you know, that gets to to go and have fun, so.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Exactly not see a man with no ego is the
sexiest thing in the world. Would you say ego?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
No ego here? I mean, you know, there's a difference
in ego and confidence. I am very confident being the
man that I am, and it feels good. It feels good.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Tell me about yourself. Have you been married before?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I have been married before. I've got two beautiful children,
they're adults. I have a grandsons, and so yeah, yeah,
I've been down that road.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Would you want to get married again?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I do believe in the institution of marriage. I do.
In fact, I know she's right around the corner. I
want to see her face, I want to hear her voice.
But yeah, I think it would be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
You're talking about Kelly. So when you go into this,
are you thinking about the future.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
I'm just in the moment. I didn't want to, but hey,
stay close, sweet, we need you and I need you
to all right, you stay absolutely love it.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
So were you just dodging a question or.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I'm not really sure how to answer that. Ask me again,
Ask me again.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I don't even know what I just asked. You're off
to a great start. Well, yeah, you are ready for
the future. Yes.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I like to stay in the moment. Okay, in the present,
in the moment, in the present, the here, the now.
This is all we have is right now. Do I
look forward to the future, Absolutely, But I enjoy where
I'm at right now. And what's coming is going to
(12:54):
be a fabulous evening. I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
That's right. And are you dating other people right now?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
The infamous dating?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Because you know it's it's it's.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
How are we quantifying dating? Right? Dating as in going
on dates? Dating is in there is one special person.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
What's your definition of dating?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I think my definition of dating is oh my should.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Anymore?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
You're keeping this fun in Lewis. I like that. I
think of dating as taking someone out to eat on
a regular basis. Just this is your date, not just
for the evening, but someone that you're with and spending
time with.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
And so when you do when you're there with somebody,
are you allowed to do that with somebody else?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I don't think that would be a good idea to
do that.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You're a loyal man. Yeah, yeah, what's your sign?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I'm aries the ram.
Speaker 1 (13:55):

then just don't look back.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Correct, We're in the now.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
That's what's important.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I love it. So what are you hoping to learn
about Kelly? Are you do you have a type? Like
is your type?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Well, I would answer that I think all women are
your type, and character is very important that comes with that,
and then there are a host of other things for me.
Just seeing her h in her fun moment, you know,
I like, again, this is probably a third time I've
mentioned this. When we stay in the moment and have
(15:04):
as much fun as we can, and that's what I
want to see in her. How much fun are you having?
How much fun can I bring to your world right now?
Because this only is going to be for the moment.
Right now, this is all we have, So I'm looking
forward to her funny out how much fun she likes
to have.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Do you meditate?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
I don't meditate. No, I pray. I pray. I'm Christian
and I'm a good christ Like man. And I again,
you know, I used to be afraid to say that.
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I don't know either, I mean, but I can guess
over the past six years, I have really grown to
be an amazing light, if you will that I like
to carry and inspire and motivate and all of those things.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
So I feel it. Yeah, thank you so much. I
can't wait to grill you. Came no goodness, I will
have my one eye.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
You have to be nice to me.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Is religion one more question? Is religion important and spirituality
important for you and whoever your partner will be.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I think it is. I think that you have to
be equally yolked in that way. I think if you
have some of the same beliefs that it's very important
and can go a long way. Yeah, thank you, until
next time until we meet again.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Seeing a bit, see you in a bite a bit.

Gary are back from their first date.
Speaker 1 (16:54):

Philosophy.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, we don't have tomorrow. It's true. What's your philosophy
of life?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
It's actually interesting because mine is very much the same.
And you know, I always tell all my friends, I'm like,
you're never going to have this conversation this way ever again.
This is this is, this day is never going to
come again, and so we have to really really be
mindful and grateful for what we have and who we
are and where we're going. So I I have the
exact same philosophy.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Some people are like, I mean, it's funny the boxes
in my head.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah, I liked it. I'm keeping score. Don't worry. Now,
what did you guys?
Speaker 4 (18:23):
What did you guys talk about? Because you were like,
I'm going to talk to Gary.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
When we play makeup. I'll tell you. I mean, you
are just like I had asked a couple of questions
that you probably would be interested in hearing. Okay, do
you remember how many use all of or not all
of olives? The Gray Groost? Did you have? Is that
(18:46):
the drink that was?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
That's my drink?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Three?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
You got it?
Speaker 1 (18:50):

That is my memory?
Speaker 4 (18:56):
So that consider a cheese drink.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yet, so you walked the carpet. You made it kind
of official. It was a crazy carpet tonight, Like it
was nuts.

It was wild.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yeah, to be with a bachelor and Gary on the
carpet like in.
Speaker 1 (19:18):

It was really fun. We had such a great time.
It just feels good. It feels I mean, it's fun. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
I mean I'm I'm in such a good place. And
if this would have been like a year ago, I
would have been like, no, I can't do that totally.
But I am in such a good place. But you know,
it's interesting because Gary was like I said, I really.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Appreciate being with you and we're having so much fun.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
And because guy, you know said that he couldn't walk
the carpet because he'd fallen in love and he was
going on a TV show.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
So I was like, that's great, and then he kept
texting me saying.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Was im, I don't know talking about like we haven't
even met yet, and so we had such a fun time.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Did she hold up to your fun standards?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
She totally, she exceeded it because just being her and
who she is, just her personality and her character made
it easy for me. Yeah. So it was fun.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Absolutely, you're a good time. Yeah, you have really great
energy about you. Just in case no one heard.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
That, I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
You know.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
It was really interesting is that Gary was like, well,
I'm you know, I was kind of like the runner
up on the dating game, and so I was kind
of like I.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Just took someone's place. I'm like no, no, no no, because
I was going to choose you. I like that. I was, well, yeah,
I was going to choose you. And then I was like, wait,
which I do? Whichuld I do? And I was like fine.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
It was the song that ultimately obviously it was meant
to be.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Yes, let's not talk about the past right.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Right, the talk about where you are right now, what's
in front of what is unfolding in front of us
right now?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
And what is that just we're having such a good time.
We had so much fun.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
It really was okay.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
What I really liked was how we were playing off
of each other. The batchero meets the housewife.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Mm hmm. That's show itself.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
That is he does the cooking and the singing and
she does nothing.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Well, I wanted her to I wasn't gonna say nothing.
I want her to say that.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
I know what I was saying.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I was like, house would I say these jobs our
husbands they lose their lives bachelors like they get a wife,
they get a family, get.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
We get nothing.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
But we're going to change that narrative.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yes, totally, totally. Yeah, she is still deserving of something
so much more and bigger and grander.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Cheryl is a big reason that I'm actually I'm here today.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
I want so much together. And Cheryl was like, you
have to do the work, and the work is the work. Yeah,
and it's like not just.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Like sitting at the therapist and having them say like,
you know, you're so great.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
That's the wrong work, that's the wrong therapist. She must
be fired.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
I mean, there's certain things that Cheryl says sometimes and
I'm like, I don't know what she's talking about, but
you do. But then I googled it and I was like,
oh my god, I just ask me google It means.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I love you.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
That's so cute.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Like what she was like, are your attachment, I'm like like.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
A super glue or.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Correct.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I'm more like double tape, like I can get away.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, it's actually more.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
But since learned, are you valc No, I'm not valcal.
I have been valco though I have been.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah, thank good Thank goodness. I don't think she is.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Has any Have you ever been ghosted before?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Me?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Personally?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Just like never, never.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
They're a good man, Like you're a really good man.
I feel in my bones. Yeah, and my bones are
right most of the time, not for me but for
other people.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Well, but I get that. And you know, as I
told you earlier, I'm just comfortable in my own skin
being the man that I am. Yeah, and I'm not
afraid of me. Before it was like I was afraid
to just be.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Me.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Right. You put up all these facades in these different things,
But now I don't really care what you think or say.
I'm comfortable in saying why I am in the things
I like to do.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
And here's a perfecticular waited a hold on, but I
need to give you a perfect example of him being
is that we're talking you, we're talking to the press
and they're like, we're talking. They're talking about Mariah Carry
at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, and they're like, sing a
song and Mariah has song.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
The song and instead of.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
I'm saying like, I don't know the words or whatever,
he just starts singing a song with words.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Like me he's made up. But that was a tone
of Carry.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
And I'm just like, let me hear.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
I'm like, I don't know that song. It's okay.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I don't listen to the words.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
A song had like the may Carry melody. And I'm
just like.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
We're all.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Either like like song and faces like.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
But the words I don't really and I'm looking at
kill it. She's like he just keep going.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Keep saying you're doing great, You're doing great.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I love that you are really comfortable in your own skin.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I love.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Makes them different though than your other dates.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Just incredible confidence, just like really like yesterday, so we
met yesterday. He's like, that's Kelly. I'm gonna say hi
and say hello to her, introduce myself.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
So you knew what she looked like. You knew her.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Of course when we did our dating game, I got
a chance to see her and she didn't see us.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
It was a dating game, you know, you don't get
to see the contestant who you're you know, asking the questions.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I got it. Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
The voice I'm hoping she remembered.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
But the voice.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
I was like, how can you not? I know?
Speaker 2 (26:36):

I want. Yeah, there's a plane, there's a train, that's
an autumn being.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Like this is an international airport.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Now, so it's a lot easier said than done, just
saying yeah, I'm not going to be the you know,
bearer of bad news. I could easily go down that
rabbit hole. But because that's if you do, I hope
you don't.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Right because I did in all transparency.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
I did meet someone who was super nice, like it
was from California and he's so great, but I was
just like, there's no way.
Speaker 4 (28:35):

of time in order for me to meet the kids

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Figure what's next for us?
Speaker 4 (29:07):
What is next for us? I don't know we're going
to I know we have to figure it out.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Do you not like to talk too far in advance,
like especially you, because you.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Say some dudes, I think that it's good to have
a plan to look forward to something. But the gift
is right now, correct, this is the gift?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yes, But you know you don't always live by that,
do you?
Speaker 4 (29:35):
You always you'd.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Be surprised how important it is.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
He also has a big meeting on my.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Actually, I have one more question. Are you religious?
Speaker 4 (29:47):
I am?
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I know that about you.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Catholic?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I love it well. I am technically Catholic. I was
baptized and everything. I mean, like my mom goes to church.
I used to go to church every Sunday. But I
do believe in God.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
I do too, and I mean I don't. I don't
tell anyone to do anything.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
I just believe in spiritual integrity.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
The beauty is that we can all have our spirituality
and the things that we believe in. I'm Christian, right,
I'm not going to thumple Bible in someone's face about faith.
That's great because that's what I believe in. You know,
youve got to respect people for the film because.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I did ask Gary today. I was like, is that
important to you? And I didn't know that about you,
so I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
What's important to me is when people have a moral
code and a moral compass. That's like really really, because.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
I do you know, I always try to do the
right thing, even though it's not the right thing for me.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
But can people do that without believing in the Higher power?
Speaker 4 (30:49):
I don't really know.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
I don't really think so, because they in order to
have a moral compass, you have to have respect for
something bigger than yourself.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Yeah, and I'll give you a short one with that.
If you're going to talk the talk, you got to
walk the walk. And if you just talk and you
don't walk, then people are looking at you saying, eh,
not real, for real, Yeah, faking all this. And so
if they're not true to themselves, how can they be
true to their partner or anything else. Yeah, so you
(31:20):
got to walk the walk.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Yeah, just don't talk.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
