Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the almost famous podcast with iHeartRadio. Welcome back
to the almost Famous OG podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I am Bob Guiney, of course without Trista Seutter Nate
Wren on this particular interview. But I am so excited
because I have a guy here who is super funny
on The Golden Bachelorette, someone we got to see on
this season of Bacheline Paradise as well, and I can't
wait to find out what he has been up to since.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Leaving the beach. So please join me and welcoming Jack Lindcyoni.
Thanks for being here.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Jack, Hey, thanks for having me. It's it's a pleasure
to be here.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Oh absolutely you are. You are a fun guy.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
The energy you bring is just contagious and I can
tell you as a viewer, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Well, thank you very much. You know what, I hit
a ball on the show. I didn't. I didn't hang.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Around as long as I wanted to. But stuff happens,
you know, it does happen.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Oh, it does. And speaking of which, I mean, let's
get right into it, right.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I think one of the things that happened on there,
what was going through your mind when you decided, you
know what shoot or shoot, and I'm shooting my shot.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I'm gonna go kiss April.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Because one of the things that I loved was, you know,
when we kind of cut away from the romantic interlude
and you're like, hey, I threw some tongue.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I went for it. What were your thoughts on that?
And what were you thinking in the moment.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I thought it was like fourth down and inches and
I just had to go for it. And I mean
that was it was like, oh my god. I mean,
I don't want to go home yet, so I thought,
you know, a kiss from me would do it.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I mean, watching your technique, it seems like you're pretty
experience in that department.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I'm old, so a lot of experience.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yes, I do. It was awesome.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I loved your candor. Though you're like, hey, I threw
some tongue on there. What the hell, let's see what happens?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Were you shocked?
Speaker 5 (01:55):
You know?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Afterwards? That night?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
And and I mean here, you kissed her, you obviously
felt a connection with her, and uh and and then
April went and did the unthinkable, right, She she gave
young Buck Jonathan her rose, and that.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Ultimately resulted in sending you a two other goldens home.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
You know, ten minutes before she told me she was
giving me the rows. So I thought I was good.
You know, I saw I'm sitting there, going my god,
now I gotta go home, I said, because this lady
goes and does this. And then she said, it's sick
Cappy that actually started all these problems. And she knows
(02:33):
she didn't want me on the show for some reason.
Before I even got there, she was lobbying for me
not to go because she said I was dating Christina,
and I saw Christine in my life. We never dated
at that point in time. Since then, I've seen her
a few times and it's a beautiful thing. Yeah, no date,
(02:54):
no nothing at that time. But this lady Cathy, you
know that she was gonna stir some trouble and uh
and she did so. So I ended up going home,
and you know what, again, I had a ball.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I don't care. I mean, yeah, I cared a little
bit at that time.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Right, you spend all my time getting up there, and
then all of a sudden, what the hell, by bye, oh.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
My god, what do you think? So?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
So, Kathy obviously is a great friend of the show
we love her, But do you think maybe you're you know,
the conversations everyone had about you and Susan being you know,
you guys should be a couple and all that kind
of stuff, did that make it so that Kathy maybe
was like, you know, oh, well, you know, if he
and Susan would have gotten together. You know, I'm the
best friend, so he maybe he can't be here, you know,
(03:42):
too many cooks in the kitchen, so to speak. Is
that do you think there's anything to do with that
or was it all about Christine?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
I have no idea what it was about. To tell
you the truth, I'm still confused, but that's okay. I
don't understand most things, but that one. I desolutely can't
figure that one out.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, I mean it does seem interesting.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I almost like, because I was going to ask you if,
you know, if maybe because of Susan and Cathy's friendship,
if if she was kind of off.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Limits to you when you went to the beach. But
it sounds like she was.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
She was off limits to you because she she didn't
want you there in the first place.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
She didn't want me there, and I guarantee you she
wouldn't have been my choice.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
It's just it's just my opinion, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
It's uh, again, it was a strange thing.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
But again, Costa Rica was beautiful and I was fortunate
enough to go, so you know what.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, and how and how long?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I mean I don't know if you can even tell
us that's part, but how long were you actually there
in Costa Rica? Because I mean, obviously the way it
looks like to us, right, you get there and then
shortly there after you're going home.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I mean, did you get a couple of days out
of it at least that beautiful weather?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah? About a week? I think it may be a
little bit more.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
You know, that's awesome.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I can't actually help remember it was Yeah, it was
just then an out type thing, you know, so, but yeah,
it was cool.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Well, I you know, this was such an interesting season, right.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
It's the first time ever that we've had, you know,
the the Young'ins and the Goldens on the same show,
on the same beach, right, and so there was a
lot of curiosity surrounding that.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
A lot of things that were going on.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
You know, were you in particular, like did you find
anybody that you really hit it off with?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And you decide you know, I could be friends with
this person.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Was there was there anyone like that that you found
on the beach that that you were able to like
have some instant camaraderie with.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
My buddies from the show, you know, I mean, you
know you guys, But to tell you the truth, the
women I didn't. You know, Natalie was nice, Leslie was nice,
but Leslie was kind of hooked up with Gary at
the time, So it was like, you know, and I'm
not one of them gonna go and like I'm going
(05:49):
to hit on her a lot, you know, and try
to steal it. And I guess that's part of the
show I did not understand.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, that is the can I borrow you for a minute?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I mean, yeah, right, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
You know, I'll be honest that that is a tough one.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And I and I get it because you know, before
I was the Bachelor guy, I was on trist this
season of The Bachelorette, and I remember it was tough
for me to do that too. You know, She'd be
talking with one of my buddies and I'm not going
to go over in there like saddle my way in.
So I I totally understand and appreciate that. I think
that's that's just kind of It's one of those things
that either you got that that kind of move in
you or you don't. It sounds like neither you were
(06:27):
me had that moving us. So I think we're kindred right,
or we're kindred spirits in that regard.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I agree with you. And it's so funny.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
The guy that I didn't think would do something like
that tried to move in on the stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Right in front of me was Kim.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
So oh, Kim comes over and starts inside her bent
right what that meant matter?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
And it's like, you know, there in the the excited
you there taking him out back and kick his ass.
But the East Side Chicago. So again this is part
of the show, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, I mean, well, you know what I thought was
kind of cool. And I've gotten to know a lot
of you guys from the Golden Season. I really appreciate,
you know, the energy, like I said, that you all
bring to the whole franchise. Frankly, in my opinion, it
was long overdo and it's been really spectacular. But in
watching the season, it seemed like the Goldens came to
party like the goldens are rolling in there.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
You guys are just coming in to have a great time.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
You have body shots going on, You're telling great stories
and awesome secrets. Do you think the younger Paradise people, uh,
you know, if they had a chance, what do you
think are some things they could learn from you guys?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Patience?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You know?
Speaker 4 (07:40):
I mean there was nobody in any urgency until that
last day about any bros or anything, because we were
all just enjoying each other's company and everything.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
So I know your time on the show is a
little short lived and obviously much shorter than you or
or us watching at home would have wanted it to be.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
But let me ask you this.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
So you get home and then you find out about
the money element, right, the cash prize? Was it something?
Was that? Were you upset about that? Were you upset
that you didn't hear about it beforehand? And it would
have affected how you handled any of those moments.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
You had while you were there on the beach? Would
it change anything?
Speaker 4 (08:28):
It's funny you asked that question because I was talking
with some people and I said, you know what turned
into a game show at the end, Nicess and it
was like a fifty Grand Prize.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I think, and thank you well, David, he says, and
you didn't go for I. I don't know if I
would have done anything different, but it's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, I mean, hindsight's twenty twenty, right, everybody's an armchair
quarterback said, oh, I would have done this. And I wondered,
you know, just a standpoint of the fact that it
wasn't even introduced while you were there. If if that
was you know, a bummer, or if you were kind
of like, you know, hey, man, if I would have
just made it one more day, perhaps I would have
heard about it, you know, or whatever. I was curious
about that. But it sounds like you wouldn't You wouldn't
have changed anything, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah, I wouldn't have changed anything. And you know, again,
who gets to do this at my age?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I mean, you know, hey, I'm going to close three,
going I gotta be ANPV show.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I mean, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
It's pretty cool, right, I mean, I think it's interesting people.
You know, I think people take it for granted when
they're in the moment. And that's one of the things,
you know, as I've gotten to know a lot of
you folks from the Golden Season, Golden Seasons. I should
say I have appreciated the fact that you all are
just living in the moment. You're enjoying it, You're you're
having fun with it, and you know that that high
(09:50):
that perspective that you have with respect to everything else
you've lived your life doing. It's like, you know, this
is this is just another awesome moment, right, just another
another bucket list thing.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Hey, I got to do the TV show in Costa Rica.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
You know, who's who's gonna ever think that would happen
in their lives And it's so cool that you guys
appreciate that and appreciate the moment.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Exactly, But couldn't have hit it on my bucket list.
Has never even dreamed of doing it, you know exactly.
It wasn't even like a thought. And then all of
a sudden, you know, I'm on the one thing and
next thing. I remember one of the weirdest times was
when they sent me to Dancing with the Stars and
I was like sitting right next to everybody and there's
(10:29):
cameras going off everywhere, and I'm sitting here and I'm going,
oh my god, how in the hell did I get here?
I mean last year I was watching Dancing and the
Stars for my living.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I mean, it's just really really cool.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I had.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I had one of those moments too, back when I
was when I was after I was the Bachelor, and
I remember sitting there, I was, I was on Oprah.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I was on Oprah.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I was on Oprah Show, and I was cooking with
her chef and I and I had the exact same moment.
I was like, I kind of just looked around and
soaked it in for a second because I, you know,
it was how.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I was going to last. And I was like, this
is just so fun.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
And I would have never thought I'd be hanging out
with Oprah cooking with her chef.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
You know, it's like just bananas.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
So I think that's so cool that you did that,
because I can tell you that's one of those moments
in retrospect, I was thankful that I had that moment too,
you know, yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
It was great.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
And that night we went out for dinner and she
was there from the Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Was really cool.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yeah, but yeah, all of this stuff is just like amazing,
and and.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
You know, it could end.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
It could have ended it Parabra and it's still could
and you know, if it did, I had a hell
of a time, So it.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Wouldn't have been wouldn't have been bad to have a
hell of a time and win half a million bucks though, right,
I mean that could have been a cool moment too.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, that would have been really cool.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, heck yeah, I wouldn't. I want to complained about
that at all.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Well, you know, I know that, you know, I'm sure
you're still watching all your friends on the show, and
you know you're kind of you're kind of seeing it
all play.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Who are you rooting for? Who? Who are you rooting for?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Now that you're kind of at home now back on
that same couch you were watching Dancing on Now you're
watching your buddies and the paradise, you know, anybody that
you're watching, You're thinking this is going to happen. I'm
excited for them, you know.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I would I would say for Teeth, but he's got
campy and I don't really.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Care for her, I would say, you know, or I
would say faith with.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Captain, but camptains and paint in the next sometimes, so
I can't say I'm.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Rooting for them. So as far as who I root for,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
I mean, for through who's left, it's I kind of
like the ones.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
That they send home.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course I get it. I get it.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
What about like any of the young the young bucks,
like anybody you did you find yourself?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
You know?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I know, like obviously I know Jonathan got that rose
and sent you all and send up bout a bunch
of home, which which which was unfortunate. But did you
get a chance to hang out with him? Did you
get a chance to hang out with you.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Know, yes, Jonathan the great guy.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I you know, I ran into Jonathan a lot of
different affairs, and I just think he's a fantastic On
the way out, I went and I said something, Hey,
I thought you were my buddy.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Here's something you don't like that? He said, Jack, I'm
going I'm just screwing around you.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You looked as shocked as anybody in that what you know?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, I mean, I think a couple of the couples
on there that are interesting and you probably got to
know them way better than than I know I have.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I don't know any of them would be like.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Jason, Spencer, Kat and Dale, any of them kind of
like jumping out at you as people that you think
potentially could kind of move on to the next step,
like maybe we get a little, a little paradise engagement.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
You know.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
No, Andrew, I liked him, you know, a lot, and uh,
and and I thought that they were really a good couple, and.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
All of them were good dudes.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
They were all good dudes. And they I never had
a when I was their age.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
God, they didn't.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Make him like that when we were their age, buddy,
I don't think they existed.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I think that guys concentrate on it's still twenty four
hours a day telling you.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I'm telling you, yeah, when they didn't even have six
packs available when I was the Bachelor. So it's not
even right. It's not even fair. Now now it seems
like everybody just is born with them. I don't know
where the heck that comes from, but man, I've been
trying for a long time. I still walk around with
a one pack and it doesn't seem to be doing anything.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Hey, So a couple of questions for you.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Obviously, now right we're rolling into the next season of
The Golden Bachelor, and that's coming up, and everyone's of
course heard about you know, mel Owens, who's going to
be the new Golden Bachelor, and in some comments he made,
you know ahead of filming, and he recently publicly apologized
for those comments. And so I want to and I'm
sure you've been asked this question many times, so I'm
(14:52):
not gonna ask it. I'd rather ask you this, what
do you think Mel has to look forward to when
it comes to dating women sixty plus versus younger? It like,
what do you what do you think he can look
forward to with with having that opportunity?
Speaker 4 (15:04):
You know, the only thing is is that you know,
I've dated a lot of women that were younger than me,
and I've dated a lot of women that were older
than me. And tell you the truth, I never asked
the age, and I really didn't care what they're age.
If they were nice, nice is my first prerequisite. Sure
you know after that, you know, pretty is nice, you know,
(15:26):
if they can have the nice with it.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
But no, you got it, that's that's what you got.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Well, Kindness is free, right, it's easy, right. I tell
my boys.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I have two young sons, and I always tell them
like it takes you know, it takes more muscles to
frown than it does to smile, and if you being
nice to someone makes their day a little bit better,
aren't you going to feel good about yourself? And they're like, yeah,
I go, then let's do that. Let's make people laugh
instead of making them cry. Let's just have a good time.
And you obviously carry that energy with you. You can tell
you know, you're just you roll into the party and
it's like between you and Keith, and I love Keith.
(15:58):
I'm always like, which one of these guys is gonna
make left first? Because they're both going to be funny.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Oh yeah, we were in Vegas, you know, a couple
of weeks ago, we were all in Vegas, the sixteen guys.
You talk about a comical trip. Oh that was fun funny.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I was actually gonna ask you about that because I
saw some of the stuff on Instagram and everything else.
I was going to ask you, you know, if you if
you had a chance to sum that trip up in
a couple of words, you know, how how would you
sum that up?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
A lot of fun?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Yes, we get off fun, and the camaraderie actually built more.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Because you know here we are. I don't know, you know,
we got that well.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
We drank together quite a bit, which was always fun,
and we went to the pool and there were you know,
bikinis at the pool, so we were enjoying everything at
the pool. It was, uh, it was a very nice time.
Not only there, so.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
A lot of the ladies and those bikinis recognized us
in one of the com pictures and yeah, we did
a lot of oh hell yes, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Again, it doesn't take it doesn't cost anything for you
guys to if they're fans of the show and they
want to get a picture. I think it's really great
that you're like, I'm never too busy to that stuff,
even now twenty some years later.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
So someone asked me for a photo, I'm like, sure.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
You know, I've often loved the whole mansion men. You know,
concepts you guys got going on, and I enjoy that.
So just to give you an idea, you know, when
we did the First Bachelorette, which is again twenty two
(17:37):
years ago with Trista, all of us on that season,
we were really and still are good friends, like we
became buddies. There was no animosity. We were rooting for
each other. We realized it wasn't that she you know,
that anything we were going to do was gonna make
or choose us over a guy that we just became
friends with, and so we all decided we were gonna
be friends regardless.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
And I told a lot of the guys. I told
Gary this, I told Keith this.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
I loved seeing you guys have that same type of
camaraderie and friendship and it made me feel like.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Man, they got it.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
You know, people got to see that that season, which
was with you know, with Twista, and that's twenty some
years ago, was a hugely successful season and it resulted
in a in a in a in a successful marriage
and family. And it's like and then you guys come
along and and bring that same energy back to the
television screen. And I think people missed it, and I
think it's it really is something that resonates, you know.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I mean I see some of these people from the shows.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
And and they you know, went in there with a
different type of attitude and they don't get the same
response that you guys get everywhere you all go, which
I think is really awesome to say it.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Really, I tell you what, it was amazing.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
It was just walking down the street people, because there's
there were like fifteen of us walking down the street
looked like all of the Over the Hill game Zero
again and Mary are walking down the street, you know,
for people stopping us along the way, which was really cool.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
So yeah, no, it's it really is kind of a
cool thing to see, you know, the attention that you're
all getting, and truthfully, the way these y'all are handling it,
which I think is really great.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I love that you're having a good time with this.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
It's one of those things, right, It's it's like I
used to always say to people, I go, hey, man,
just because you're on a show like this, it doesn't
mean you're Ben Affleck.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
You go on this show and you're still the same
person when you come off. So it's either going to
magnify how nice a person you are or is going
to take it in to the other direction. And I've
loved seeing everyone, you know, with the kindness and and everything.
I just need you to know that I appreciate it
so and I love your sense of humor. I love
the way you've handled this thing. Now let me ask
you this. So obviously you know Mel's going to be
(19:39):
in the seat with the Golden Bachelor, and if there
were to be an opportunity for someone from the Golden
Bachelorette or I'm sorry for the Golden Bachelor previous season
that we know, anybody that you could see step into
that role and be in the next Golden Bachelorette.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I think Nancy is very nice, you know, Christina's very nice.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
They're all, you know.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I can't I can't pick one over the other right
this second.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
No, I hear you, But I mean, maybe, just maybe
you really wouldn't want to be Christina though, because you know,
I mean maybe you guys are kind of hanging out,
you know, spending some time.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
We are some time and she lives in California. I
live in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
There you go, There you go. I hear you.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Well, listen, last thing I wanted to talk to you about.
So Chttgo obviously is a great restaurant town. And I
know you're a retired cater and a retired chef. So
I'm curious when you when you roll through Vegas with
your boys with the mansion men, Any's what's the place
you want to hit up? Because obviously Vegas is you know.
First of all, I live in Detroit, and Detroit has
become a top spot for a lot of the top
(20:42):
chefs in the country. You want to open up spots,
which you know, back in the day it wasn't the case, right,
you'd have to go to Chicago to get a great restaurant.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Now you can get it here in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
But any place in Vegas when you guys are out there,
are you kind of the guy that helps steer the ship?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Okay, we're going to go to this restaurant.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Trust me that I know some people at this spot
like are you are you still connected or if not,
are you still so one who's really you know, mindful
of where you're going to be eating and you know
all the hotspots.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Well, I know Vegas very well. And the best restaurant
in my opinion in Vegas is Joe's Joe's Seafood Stone Crab.
It's inside caes There's fabulous. Actually, my oldest brother designed
it and he was the architect. Yes, and he does
the Joe's and different things. But yeah, yeah, we went
(21:26):
to Joe's. The food was phenomenal.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
I mean it was it was really really good.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, you got to trust your palette, right, I mean
I would think if it comes down to a restaurant selection,
I'd be like, Okay, you're a chef.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Where are we eating tonight?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
And I'd be so excited to go because I know
I would just know you would have it dialed.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Well, you know, it's so funny when you said retired,
because I was retired and when I got back, they
had a problem with my Italian club. They have a
thousand sea banquet hall. Well it turns out that I
said I'd help him out for six months, you know,
as far as Wow, so nice. So tomorrow at Arrest
local restaurant, the White Rhino, I'm doing a cooking demonstration
(22:08):
for about fifty people.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
I got a wedding.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Wedding on Friday, it might bank, but haul in the
funeral lunch and on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
It's like, all of a sudden for a couple of months.
That's it.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You know what though, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Isn't that the beauty of it when you're when you
when you have kind of stepped aside to a certain degree.
If you want to dabble, you can dabble, but you
don't have to, you know, stay in it for longer
than you want to.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
So for you, I make the rules now, which is
kind of that's right.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Keeping your chops sharp right keeping that saw sharp. I
think that's a great move.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Yep, yep. I'm having a lot of fun with dead
too well.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Jack Man, I I pretty much think you probably have
a lot of fun with everything you do. Man, But

get a chance to talk to you. We get to
know him a little bit better. So thank you all
for tuning in. It's been another great episode. Almost Famous
to Ogs. We'll see you next time.
This is the almost famous podcast with iHeartRadio. Welcome back
to the almost Famous OG podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I am Bob Guiney, of course without Trista Seutter Nate
Wren on this particular interview. But I am so excited
because I have a guy here who is super funny
on The Golden Bachelorette, someone we got to see on
this season of Bacheline Paradise as well, and I can't
wait to find out what he has been up to since.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Leaving the beach. So please join me and welcoming Jack Lindcyoni.
Thanks for being here.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Jack, Hey, thanks for having me. It's it's a pleasure
to be here.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Oh absolutely you are. You are a fun guy.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
The energy you bring is just contagious and I can
tell you as a viewer, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Well, thank you very much. You know what, I hit
a ball on the show. I didn't. I didn't hang.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Around as long as I wanted to. But stuff happens,
you know, it does happen.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Oh, it does. And speaking of which, I mean, let's
get right into it, right.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I think one of the things that happened on there,
what was going through your mind when you decided, you
know what shoot or shoot, and I'm shooting my shot.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I'm gonna go kiss April.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Because one of the things that I loved was, you know,
when we kind of cut away from the romantic interlude
and you're like, hey, I threw some tongue.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I went for it. What were your thoughts on that?
And what were you thinking in the moment.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I thought it was like fourth down and inches and
I just had to go for it. And I mean
that was it was like, oh my god. I mean,
I don't want to go home yet, so I thought,
you know, a kiss from me would do it.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I mean, watching your technique, it seems like you're pretty
experience in that department.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I'm old, so a lot of experience.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yes, I do. It was awesome.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I loved your candor. Though you're like, hey, I threw
some tongue on there. What the hell, let's see what happens?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Were you shocked?
Speaker 5 (01:55):
You know?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Afterwards? That night?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
And and I mean here, you kissed her, you obviously
felt a connection with her, and uh and and then
April went and did the unthinkable, right, She she gave
young Buck Jonathan her rose, and that.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Ultimately resulted in sending you a two other goldens home.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
You know, ten minutes before she told me she was
giving me the rows. So I thought I was good.
You know, I saw I'm sitting there, going my god,
now I gotta go home, I said, because this lady
goes and does this. And then she said, it's sick
Cappy that actually started all these problems. And she knows
(02:33):
she didn't want me on the show for some reason.
Before I even got there, she was lobbying for me
not to go because she said I was dating Christina,
and I saw Christine in my life. We never dated
at that point in time. Since then, I've seen her
a few times and it's a beautiful thing. Yeah, no date,
(02:54):
no nothing at that time. But this lady Cathy, you
know that she was gonna stir some trouble and uh
and she did so. So I ended up going home,
and you know what, again, I had a ball.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I don't care. I mean, yeah, I cared a little
bit at that time.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Right, you spend all my time getting up there, and
then all of a sudden, what the hell, by bye, oh.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
My god, what do you think? So?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
So, Kathy obviously is a great friend of the show
we love her, But do you think maybe you're you know,
the conversations everyone had about you and Susan being you know,
you guys should be a couple and all that kind
of stuff, did that make it so that Kathy maybe
was like, you know, oh, well, you know, if he
and Susan would have gotten together. You know, I'm the
best friend, so he maybe he can't be here, you know,
(03:42):
too many cooks in the kitchen, so to speak. Is
that do you think there's anything to do with that
or was it all about Christine?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
I have no idea what it was about. To tell
you the truth, I'm still confused, but that's okay. I
don't understand most things, but that one. I desolutely can't
figure that one out.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, I mean it does seem interesting.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I almost like, because I was going to ask you if,
you know, if maybe because of Susan and Cathy's friendship,
if if she was kind of off.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Limits to you when you went to the beach. But
it sounds like she was.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
She was off limits to you because she she didn't
want you there in the first place.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
She didn't want me there, and I guarantee you she
wouldn't have been my choice.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
It's just it's just my opinion, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
It's uh, again, it was a strange thing.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
But again, Costa Rica was beautiful and I was fortunate
enough to go, so you know what.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, and how and how long?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I mean I don't know if you can even tell
us that's part, but how long were you actually there
in Costa Rica? Because I mean, obviously the way it
looks like to us, right, you get there and then
shortly there after you're going home.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I mean, did you get a couple of days out
of it at least that beautiful weather?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah? About a week? I think it may be a
little bit more.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
You know, that's awesome.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I can't actually help remember it was Yeah, it was
just then an out type thing, you know, so, but yeah,
it was cool.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Well, I you know, this was such an interesting season, right.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
It's the first time ever that we've had, you know,
the the Young'ins and the Goldens on the same show,
on the same beach, right, and so there was a
lot of curiosity surrounding that.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
A lot of things that were going on.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
You know, were you in particular, like did you find
anybody that you really hit it off with?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And you decide you know, I could be friends with
this person.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Was there was there anyone like that that you found
on the beach that that you were able to like
have some instant camaraderie with.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
My buddies from the show, you know, I mean, you
know you guys, But to tell you the truth, the
women I didn't. You know, Natalie was nice, Leslie was nice,
but Leslie was kind of hooked up with Gary at
the time, So it was like, you know, and I'm
not one of them gonna go and like I'm going
(05:49):
to hit on her a lot, you know, and try
to steal it. And I guess that's part of the
show I did not understand.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, that is the can I borrow you for a minute?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I mean, yeah, right, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
You know, I'll be honest that that is a tough one.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And I and I get it because you know, before
I was the Bachelor guy, I was on trist this
season of The Bachelorette, and I remember it was tough
for me to do that too. You know, She'd be
talking with one of my buddies and I'm not going
to go over in there like saddle my way in.
So I I totally understand and appreciate that. I think
that's that's just kind of It's one of those things
that either you got that that kind of move in
you or you don't. It sounds like neither you were
(06:27):
me had that moving us. So I think we're kindred right,
or we're kindred spirits in that regard.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I agree with you. And it's so funny.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
The guy that I didn't think would do something like
that tried to move in on the stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Right in front of me was Kim.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
So oh, Kim comes over and starts inside her bent
right what that meant matter?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
And it's like, you know, there in the the excited
you there taking him out back and kick his ass.
But the East Side Chicago. So again this is part
of the show, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, I mean, well, you know what I thought was
kind of cool. And I've gotten to know a lot
of you guys from the Golden Season. I really appreciate,
you know, the energy, like I said, that you all
bring to the whole franchise. Frankly, in my opinion, it
was long overdo and it's been really spectacular. But in
watching the season, it seemed like the Goldens came to
party like the goldens are rolling in there.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
You guys are just coming in to have a great time.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
You have body shots going on, You're telling great stories
and awesome secrets. Do you think the younger Paradise people, uh,
you know, if they had a chance, what do you
think are some things they could learn from you guys?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Patience?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You know?
Speaker 4 (07:40):
I mean there was nobody in any urgency until that
last day about any bros or anything, because we were
all just enjoying each other's company and everything.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
So I know your time on the show is a
little short lived and obviously much shorter than you or
or us watching at home would have wanted it to be.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
But let me ask you this.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
So you get home and then you find out about
the money element, right, the cash prize? Was it something?
Was that? Were you upset about that? Were you upset
that you didn't hear about it beforehand? And it would
have affected how you handled any of those moments.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
You had while you were there on the beach? Would
it change anything?
Speaker 4 (08:28):
It's funny you asked that question because I was talking
with some people and I said, you know what turned
into a game show at the end, Nicess and it
was like a fifty Grand Prize.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I think, and thank you well, David, he says, and
you didn't go for I. I don't know if I
would have done anything different, but it's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, I mean, hindsight's twenty twenty, right, everybody's an armchair
quarterback said, oh, I would have done this. And I wondered,
you know, just a standpoint of the fact that it
wasn't even introduced while you were there. If if that
was you know, a bummer, or if you were kind
of like, you know, hey, man, if I would have
just made it one more day, perhaps I would have
heard about it, you know, or whatever. I was curious
about that. But it sounds like you wouldn't You wouldn't
have changed anything, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah, I wouldn't have changed anything. And you know, again,
who gets to do this at my age?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I mean, you know, hey, I'm going to close three,
going I gotta be ANPV show.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I mean, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
It's pretty cool, right, I mean, I think it's interesting people.
You know, I think people take it for granted when
they're in the moment. And that's one of the things,
you know, as I've gotten to know a lot of
you folks from the Golden Season, Golden Seasons. I should
say I have appreciated the fact that you all are
just living in the moment. You're enjoying it, You're you're
having fun with it, and you know that that high
(09:50):
that perspective that you have with respect to everything else
you've lived your life doing. It's like, you know, this
is this is just another awesome moment, right, just another
another bucket list thing.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Hey, I got to do the TV show in Costa Rica.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
You know, who's who's gonna ever think that would happen
in their lives And it's so cool that you guys
appreciate that and appreciate the moment.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Exactly, But couldn't have hit it on my bucket list.
Has never even dreamed of doing it, you know exactly.
It wasn't even like a thought. And then all of
a sudden, you know, I'm on the one thing and
next thing. I remember one of the weirdest times was
when they sent me to Dancing with the Stars and
I was like sitting right next to everybody and there's
(10:29):
cameras going off everywhere, and I'm sitting here and I'm going,
oh my god, how in the hell did I get here?
I mean last year I was watching Dancing and the
Stars for my living.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I mean, it's just really really cool.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I had.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I had one of those moments too, back when I
was when I was after I was the Bachelor, and
I remember sitting there, I was, I was on Oprah.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I was on Oprah.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I was on Oprah Show, and I was cooking with
her chef and I and I had the exact same moment.
I was like, I kind of just looked around and
soaked it in for a second because I, you know,
it was how.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I was going to last. And I was like, this
is just so fun.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
And I would have never thought I'd be hanging out
with Oprah cooking with her chef.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
You know, it's like just bananas.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
So I think that's so cool that you did that,
because I can tell you that's one of those moments
in retrospect, I was thankful that I had that moment too,
you know, yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
It was great.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
And that night we went out for dinner and she
was there from the Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Was really cool.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yeah, but yeah, all of this stuff is just like amazing,
and and.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
You know, it could end.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
It could have ended it Parabra and it's still could
and you know, if it did, I had a hell
of a time, So it.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Wouldn't have been wouldn't have been bad to have a
hell of a time and win half a million bucks though, right,
I mean that could have been a cool moment too.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, that would have been really cool.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, heck yeah, I wouldn't. I want to complained about
that at all.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Well, you know, I know that, you know, I'm sure
you're still watching all your friends on the show, and
you know you're kind of you're kind of seeing it
all play.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Who are you rooting for? Who? Who are you rooting for?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Now that you're kind of at home now back on
that same couch you were watching Dancing on Now you're
watching your buddies and the paradise, you know, anybody that
you're watching, You're thinking this is going to happen. I'm
excited for them, you know.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I would I would say for Teeth, but he's got
campy and I don't really.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Care for her, I would say, you know, or I
would say faith with.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Captain, but camptains and paint in the next sometimes, so
I can't say I'm.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Rooting for them. So as far as who I root for,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
I mean, for through who's left, it's I kind of
like the ones.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
That they send home.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course I get it. I get it.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
What about like any of the young the young bucks,
like anybody you did you find yourself?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
You know?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I know, like obviously I know Jonathan got that rose
and sent you all and send up bout a bunch
of home, which which which was unfortunate. But did you
get a chance to hang out with him? Did you
get a chance to hang out with you.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Know, yes, Jonathan the great guy.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I you know, I ran into Jonathan a lot of
different affairs, and I just think he's a fantastic On
the way out, I went and I said something, Hey,
I thought you were my buddy.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Here's something you don't like that? He said, Jack, I'm
going I'm just screwing around you.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You looked as shocked as anybody in that what you know?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, I mean, I think a couple of the couples
on there that are interesting and you probably got to
know them way better than than I know I have.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I don't know any of them would be like.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Jason, Spencer, Kat and Dale, any of them kind of
like jumping out at you as people that you think
potentially could kind of move on to the next step,
like maybe we get a little, a little paradise engagement.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
You know.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
No, Andrew, I liked him, you know, a lot, and uh,
and and I thought that they were really a good couple, and.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
All of them were good dudes.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
They were all good dudes. And they I never had
a when I was their age.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
God, they didn't.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Make him like that when we were their age, buddy,
I don't think they existed.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I think that guys concentrate on it's still twenty four
hours a day telling you.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I'm telling you, yeah, when they didn't even have six
packs available when I was the Bachelor. So it's not
even right. It's not even fair. Now now it seems
like everybody just is born with them. I don't know
where the heck that comes from, but man, I've been
trying for a long time. I still walk around with
a one pack and it doesn't seem to be doing anything.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Hey, So a couple of questions for you.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Obviously, now right we're rolling into the next season of
The Golden Bachelor, and that's coming up, and everyone's of
course heard about you know, mel Owens, who's going to
be the new Golden Bachelor, and in some comments he made,
you know ahead of filming, and he recently publicly apologized
for those comments. And so I want to and I'm
sure you've been asked this question many times, so I'm
(14:52):
not gonna ask it. I'd rather ask you this, what
do you think Mel has to look forward to when
it comes to dating women sixty plus versus younger? It like,
what do you what do you think he can look
forward to with with having that opportunity?
Speaker 4 (15:04):
You know, the only thing is is that you know,
I've dated a lot of women that were younger than me,
and I've dated a lot of women that were older
than me. And tell you the truth, I never asked
the age, and I really didn't care what they're age.
If they were nice, nice is my first prerequisite. Sure
you know after that, you know, pretty is nice, you know,
(15:26):
if they can have the nice with it.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
But no, you got it, that's that's what you got.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Well, Kindness is free, right, it's easy, right. I tell
my boys.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I have two young sons, and I always tell them
like it takes you know, it takes more muscles to
frown than it does to smile, and if you being
nice to someone makes their day a little bit better,
aren't you going to feel good about yourself? And they're like, yeah,
I go, then let's do that. Let's make people laugh
instead of making them cry. Let's just have a good time.
And you obviously carry that energy with you. You can tell
you know, you're just you roll into the party and
it's like between you and Keith, and I love Keith.
(15:58):
I'm always like, which one of these guys is gonna
make left first? Because they're both going to be funny.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Oh yeah, we were in Vegas, you know, a couple
of weeks ago, we were all in Vegas, the sixteen guys.
You talk about a comical trip. Oh that was fun funny.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I was actually gonna ask you about that because I
saw some of the stuff on Instagram and everything else.
I was going to ask you, you know, if you if
you had a chance to sum that trip up in
a couple of words, you know, how how would you
sum that up?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
A lot of fun?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Yes, we get off fun, and the camaraderie actually built more.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Because you know here we are. I don't know, you know,
we got that well.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
We drank together quite a bit, which was always fun,
and we went to the pool and there were you know,
bikinis at the pool, so we were enjoying everything at
the pool. It was, uh, it was a very nice time.
Not only there, so.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
A lot of the ladies and those bikinis recognized us
in one of the com pictures and yeah, we did
a lot of oh hell yes, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Again, it doesn't take it doesn't cost anything for you
guys to if they're fans of the show and they
want to get a picture. I think it's really great
that you're like, I'm never too busy to that stuff,
even now twenty some years later.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
So someone asked me for a photo, I'm like, sure.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
You know, I've often loved the whole mansion men. You know,
concepts you guys got going on, and I enjoy that.
So just to give you an idea, you know, when
we did the First Bachelorette, which is again twenty two
(17:37):
years ago with Trista, all of us on that season,
we were really and still are good friends, like we
became buddies. There was no animosity. We were rooting for
each other. We realized it wasn't that she you know,
that anything we were going to do was gonna make
or choose us over a guy that we just became
friends with, and so we all decided we were gonna
be friends regardless.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
And I told a lot of the guys. I told
Gary this, I told Keith this.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
I loved seeing you guys have that same type of
camaraderie and friendship and it made me feel like.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Man, they got it.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
You know, people got to see that that season, which
was with you know, with Twista, and that's twenty some
years ago, was a hugely successful season and it resulted
in a in a in a in a successful marriage
and family. And it's like and then you guys come
along and and bring that same energy back to the
television screen. And I think people missed it, and I
think it's it really is something that resonates, you know.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I mean I see some of these people from the shows.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
And and they you know, went in there with a
different type of attitude and they don't get the same
response that you guys get everywhere you all go, which
I think is really awesome to say it.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Really, I tell you what, it was amazing.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
It was just walking down the street people, because there's
there were like fifteen of us walking down the street
looked like all of the Over the Hill game Zero
again and Mary are walking down the street, you know,
for people stopping us along the way, which was really cool.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
So yeah, no, it's it really is kind of a
cool thing to see, you know, the attention that you're
all getting, and truthfully, the way these y'all are handling it,
which I think is really great.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I love that you're having a good time with this.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
It's one of those things, right, It's it's like I
used to always say to people, I go, hey, man,
just because you're on a show like this, it doesn't
mean you're Ben Affleck.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
You go on this show and you're still the same
person when you come off. So it's either going to
magnify how nice a person you are or is going
to take it in to the other direction. And I've
loved seeing everyone, you know, with the kindness and and everything.
I just need you to know that I appreciate it
so and I love your sense of humor. I love
the way you've handled this thing. Now let me ask
you this. So obviously you know Mel's going to be
(19:39):
in the seat with the Golden Bachelor, and if there
were to be an opportunity for someone from the Golden
Bachelorette or I'm sorry for the Golden Bachelor previous season
that we know, anybody that you could see step into
that role and be in the next Golden Bachelorette.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I think Nancy is very nice, you know, Christina's very nice.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
They're all, you know.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I can't I can't pick one over the other right
this second.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
No, I hear you, But I mean, maybe, just maybe
you really wouldn't want to be Christina though, because you know,
I mean maybe you guys are kind of hanging out,
you know, spending some time.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
We are some time and she lives in California. I
live in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
There you go, There you go. I hear you.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Well, listen, last thing I wanted to talk to you about.
So Chttgo obviously is a great restaurant town. And I
know you're a retired cater and a retired chef. So
I'm curious when you when you roll through Vegas with
your boys with the mansion men, Any's what's the place
you want to hit up? Because obviously Vegas is you know.
First of all, I live in Detroit, and Detroit has
become a top spot for a lot of the top
(20:42):
chefs in the country. You want to open up spots,
which you know, back in the day it wasn't the case, right,
you'd have to go to Chicago to get a great restaurant.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Now you can get it here in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
But any place in Vegas when you guys are out there,
are you kind of the guy that helps steer the ship?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Okay, we're going to go to this restaurant.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Trust me that I know some people at this spot
like are you are you still connected or if not,
are you still so one who's really you know, mindful
of where you're going to be eating and you know
all the hotspots.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Well, I know Vegas very well. And the best restaurant
in my opinion in Vegas is Joe's Joe's Seafood Stone Crab.
It's inside caes There's fabulous. Actually, my oldest brother designed
it and he was the architect. Yes, and he does
the Joe's and different things. But yeah, yeah, we went
(21:26):
to Joe's. The food was phenomenal.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
I mean it was it was really really good.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, you got to trust your palette, right, I mean
I would think if it comes down to a restaurant selection,
I'd be like, Okay, you're a chef.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Where are we eating tonight?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
And I'd be so excited to go because I know
I would just know you would have it dialed.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Well, you know, it's so funny when you said retired,
because I was retired and when I got back, they
had a problem with my Italian club. They have a
thousand sea banquet hall. Well it turns out that I
said I'd help him out for six months, you know,
as far as Wow, so nice. So tomorrow at Arrest
local restaurant, the White Rhino, I'm doing a cooking demonstration
(22:08):
for about fifty people.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
I got a wedding.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Wedding on Friday, it might bank, but haul in the
funeral lunch and on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
It's like, all of a sudden for a couple of months.
That's it.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You know what though, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Isn't that the beauty of it when you're when you
when you have kind of stepped aside to a certain degree.
If you want to dabble, you can dabble, but you
don't have to, you know, stay in it for longer
than you want to.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
So for you, I make the rules now, which is
kind of that's right.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Keeping your chops sharp right keeping that saw sharp. I
think that's a great move.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Yep, yep. I'm having a lot of fun with dead
too well.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
