for a week, and I'm going back to Kansas City
where my mother is on Saturday. So I really haven't
had an opportunity to date period. And we live on
opposite coasts. So if I was in l A.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
But you told me, Dan, you told me the five
seconds that I got to talk to you at Joan

told me that you were thinking about moving to l

Orange County. Uh By now my daughter and son in

not on a timeline. So maybe at some point this
year I can get that handle. But I've got real
(05:06):
estate here. I've got things to take care of.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Are you in Naples, You're in Florida.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah, so, Kathy, maybe we should go check out his
real estate because we want to go to Naples.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
We have never been to Naples.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It's all over Florida, never Naples.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Is it nice?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
It's beautiful. It really is.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
A nice beach community, incredible restaurants, great.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Beaches, golf, golf.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Are you a golfer?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Dam I'm retired from golf, is what I like to say.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I'm going to want to golf from golf?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Right, I found other interests, you know, I still like it.
I enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
What's your biggest interest? What do you do?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
What's your You know, I've been enjoying.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I live at the beach. You know, it's five hundred
feet from my front door.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Of we have to look at this.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
And so I'm into nature and fishing, boating and and uh.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
And can I give you one little bit of a
piece of advice here.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
If you go on a dating site, don't If you.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Go on a dating site, do not take a picture
of yourself holding up a dead fish.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Is the biggest in the mirror in the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Don't stand in the mirror with the bathroom. And for
God's sakes, keep your shirt on when you're taking pictures.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
These are these are okay, this is basic common sense.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
But what else what you would think?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Would think one would think, But most of them don't
get it all right?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Dating sites, I don't know about that, you guys. If
you guys try them.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I wish did you to see how my eyes just
bugged out of my head. We've all tried, yes, And
you know what.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I marry people, as you know, and I cannot tell
you how many people that I marry that have met
on dating sites. D Yeah, most of them younger of course.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Have you had success, Dan, I mean in the past
on dating.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
I've been on and off some of the dating apps,
you know, Yeah, and I've met some terrific women. And
for I consider those that I've dated, I'm still friends.
And you know, at this age we part reasonably.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
What are we going to see?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
It's easy, right, whatever reason, they didn't work out, but
some very very quality women.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So we have a quick question ahead. When a man
puts not looking for a long term relations did you
put down long term relationship.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
What are you looking for on the profile? What do
you That's exactly what I was going to ask you, Dan.
Do you put down friendship, something casual, long term relationship?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Marriage?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
What do you put down?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I leave that very unspecific intentionally you leave it. I don't.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
I don't comment because I think that depends on the
situation the person.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
And it takes two to tango, all.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Right, And there's no checkbox saying start out slow and
see where it goes. You know, that's right. How long
have you been single?
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Dan?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Oh, my gosh, I was.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I was divorced in twenty ten, so coming up on
fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Married, Yeah, And I've been in a couple of long
term relationships and some time in between where I didn't
date all So I'm in one of those phases right now.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Well, you've had a lot on your plate. Dam be
kind to yourself. Behind yourself here, be good to you,
all right, Since you want to start with the question
of the day.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Okay, here we go. What are some signs that help
you see if the person you're dating is into you
or not?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
How do you know, Dan, of a woman's into you
or not?
Speaker 3 (08:36):
So it's y'all are confusing anyway, So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I think ahead, do you think women are confusing a
little bit?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Yeah, you know, it's the Venus and Mars thing. Maybe
a little bit. But to answer your question, you know,
I think if they laugh at my jokes.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Sincerely, that's a I throw some bad ones out there.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Well, see if you were with me and you threw
a bad one, I'd be like, really big, No, don't
say that's a good sign. But there are there any
tell tale signs that, you know what you feel more
confident that she's into me or well?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I think if people are asking questions genuinely, you can
sense if it's genuine or if it's programmed or you know,
if they if they want to talk mostly about themselves,
you know, maybe they're trying to get their story out.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
That's not really fair.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
But if if they're asking questions about me and my interests,
my family, my.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Life, then Susan, do you remember we talked about that.
We talked about that. Susan dated a guy for ten
minutes who all he did was all he did was
talk about himself, and I was the one that said,
offload him. If a guy is asking you questions about
yourself if you're not asking him questions reciprocal the benefit
(09:57):
of the doubt the first phone call, like maybe he's
nervous or what.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
But by the third phone call, I knew his life story,
what he drove. He was supposed to be on Jones season.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
That's Susan could even do our podcast because she was
very busy writing his biography. She had no time. Kathy, Yeah,
all right, so yeah, I think that's true. I mean,
I think that's I think you've got a great handle
on it. And like you said, you just haven't had
time to right now to get into but you will.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
You will be.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Okay. So the next thing that we do, we we
just want to talk about your life a little bit
more than we have. So I want to know prior
to the show, and really, how is your life changed?
That's what I wanted. Well, and I know you've had
a tough time because of your dad, but you know,
(10:58):
how are you different now now than you were but
when you went on the show.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Or you think differently?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Maybe yeah, a little different perspective, Susan and Cathy to
answer your question, I don't know that has changed me
to my fundamentally or anything like anything else. It's an
amazing experience and I learned so much from it, and
I you know, I have all these new friends, and
that's that's definitely a change.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
The one thing that we've talked about the guys as a.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Post show and that is and me personally is I
have a lot of good guy friends that go back
to elementary school, high school, college, that kind of thing
all over the country because I've lived in a few
different places here in Naples, Kansas City, California, Iowa where
I grew up in Des Moines and so. But they're
all married and they're great and I love their wives.
(11:47):
We're friends too, But to be around single guys of
my age, it was unique to me and it opened
my eyes somebody I can relate to.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
In that respect.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
It's amazing that you can make a friendship at this
stage of our life.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But I will tell you particular right, yes, and we
all come with baggage. We none of you know, we
all have children, grandkids, We've all had divorces, deaths, we've
all had But I just want to commend you because
I have a way. I really don't know you that well,
but you know, we chatted a little bit, and but
I will to me, you don't even know this one
of my and I've told Susan this. One of the
(12:23):
ways I judge a man is I judge all people
this way. If they have friends from every avenue of
their life. What you just said, you're a good person
because it's never ever served me wrong. People who only
have current friends, there's there's an issue. I don't know why.
(12:44):
It's never putting me wrong. So you must be a
great guy because you just said you have friends from everywhere.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
So yeah, I am very understanding. Friends.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Take the compliment, Dan, take the complicated.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Here, Thank you compliment, Thank you Dan.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
If there is a golden paradise, the question is would
you go? And if you were to go, who would
you want to see on that beach?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Well? You two for sure?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yes, the guy ran, the guy ran for governor last year.
That's what you have to say that damn what else?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Who seriously would you go?
Speaker 4 (13:21):
You know, I don't understand blor in paradise and what
would go on with us golden people?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Ye would have to be you know, I'm open to anything.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Absolutely, Yeah, you know that's how we feel, right, I mean,
what do you like outdoor sports. You know, are you
gonna You're gonna have a drink? Are you gonna play pickleball?
You're gonna play? Oh you're not gonna play golf? Are
you gonna swim?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
You know?
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I play, I play golf, I'd swim, I did. I
try everything. I'm an outdoorsman and I.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Can you date ten women at once?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I can barely handle one?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Come on, are you the jealous type?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
You know what? I think it's good to have a
touch of jealousy.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Just Susan, we just answered that. You said no.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
You know, I said a touch a little bit and then.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Means that means you care about no. No, yes, I'm
not saying you can't be obsessive and possessive.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I agree to me if I'm dating at all, If
i'm dating, no. I was married to my husband for
almost forty six years. I was never jealous.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
You know why.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I trusted him implicitly and I felt like we were
lucky to have each other. I didn't spend one ounce
of time worrying that he was with someone else or
wanted someone else.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I did.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Maybe I was stupid, I.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Mean, that's not that's more of a trust thing, but
a jealousy thing. If somebody's paying a lot of attention
to somebody and.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Then I'm going to kill him. Well, sorry, you didn't
make that clear. He's mine, He's mine. Susan, head over there,
get at him right along? So right, let's go who.
So we always ask uh if you were on a
deserted island, and we've asked every guy from your season.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It's been interesting.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I want the answer, but I also want to know why,
aside from Susan and me, who of course will accompany
you to a deserted island because Susan loves to cook
and I'll make you laugh good.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
As long as you go fishing, because there's not going
to be a story.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
And I don't really care that much about food.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
We're all people at the table, all.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Right, What three guys from Jones season would you bring?
And why? I want to know why?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Right, give me a seconds.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Remember it's a political answer, Sure.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
It is, Sure it is.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
And if you're if you're gonna keep it to three
and then and maybe the reasons will become clear.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
So you know, my boy Keith, my boy Greg, and
then you know I might need to bring Pascal just because.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Eleonard Pascal is a popular choice.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Tell me why, and.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
I'll tell you what. He is a good hearted man,
I mean he is. I consider him a good friend.
I consider everybody from the show a good friend. Pascal
certainly would bring. He's a great conversationalist. We're going to
need that on the Desert Island. He's entertaining. He's got
his own perspective in the world. And I get I
get Pascal, He's I get him.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
So that's cool.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Greg is one of the smartest guys that I've met.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
And he has this Gregg, the guy that I had
the beard, that was a VP or lives in Florida somewhere.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah, he lives.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
He lives in Longbow Key, Uh yeah, in Salt Lake City,
but Florida is basically his home.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
So, and he was a roommate, so is Pascal. So
I know those.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Guys probably yeah, as well as anybody too. Yeah and so,
but Greg is he's super intelligent. He's highly educated, and
he and I share a similar perspective on the world.
I would say we laugh at the same things. We
find something is about life completely ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I used to think Kathy and him would make a
good match. From the very beginning of the show, I did.
I used to think you guys would well that that do.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I think I make a good I don't even know him. Okay,
so here's the thing about me. I am very I
actually was talking to guy just friends. He and I
are just friends, truly older sister whatever. But he said
to me, you know, I see you with someone really loud,
and and.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
He did, I forgot to tell you that. Sis.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
He said, I see somebody like who's just out there
and full of energy. And I said, you're wrong, that's
not I. I'm a lot.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I'm a lot.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I'm I'm full of energy. I actually prefer men who
are quieter and exact and intelligence but calming, because that
calms me, like it would be hysteria of if I
dated a guy that, you know, like a jack, I
(18:03):
couldn't do it. He's a great guy.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
No, no, I love it.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Actually he's in Florida now. It was just getting to Florida.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yeah, so do you get together with all the kinds?
Notice how by the way, I circumvented that question, because
I'm supposed to ask you, Dan, who you see Susan
and me with if who would you fix.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Us up with?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Okay, Well, now that I have insight to you, Kathy,
I need some more insight on what Susan's looking for,
So tell me about that.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Just somebody to adore me like I adore them. I
don't need.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Women are simple, Dan, they are. We all want someone
who loves us, who we can love.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Men think we're more complex than we really are. Yeah
that's true.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
All right, Well I'm listening your sage with your wisdom.
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yes, okay, So because he's so fun and full of laughs,
he's an energetic kind of guy. When you chose him.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Keith to go on the Keith Yeah, yeah, And Keith
is just he's just he's happy about everything.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Have you watched him? He's like all in with.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Behind me and me everything's good.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
And so wait, Susan, is that you wait? Maybe that's it?
And maybe you should pair her up with Keith?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
So would it be good to be somebody just like
you two of the same? Isn't it said that opposite
a track? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I think I think I need an introvert because I'm
not one.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
My husband was was My husband was quiet, guy.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
I don't know if our cast is the right group,
then I don't know if there's many introverts there.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
No, I wouldn't anymore.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yeah, but that's great that you know that you made
such good friends.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
And do you see the other guys from the show.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
I've seen a few, yes, and we talk text, I
should say, and sometimes talk. But yeah, there's been a
couple occasions that I've seen some the guys and not everybody,
but we're trying to as we move around the country
for different things, you know, include each other, and some
with intents. Like when I was in Kansas City, we
(20:11):
had pre planned.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
And everybody, Yeah, Chalk and I.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
And Heath and Jordan had put together and we were hoping.
David was close. He had another obligation. Excuse me, Gary
was close going.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
To say, I know who David is. He lives. He's
the guy with the unbuttoned shirt, the golden necklace who
owns a ranch in the city of Austin, which dost.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
That wasn't David, that was his name.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
David was the guy from you I know who you're
talking to.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I said the wrong name, but yeah, I know David.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
He was only the briefly guy, a really good guy.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yeah, so introverts for both of you.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
It sounds like, well, I mean, I say introvert, quieter guy,
I can't. I mean somebody who is on all the time,
because I tend to be on a lot of the time.
I can't deal with someone I mean Jackson Gregg.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
We've talked.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Susan's good friends with them, but I mean that, you
know that's just too and it'd be too much for
you to season.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I mean, I know, I know, but no, I love
the fact that you got to experience this as we did.
It has It didn't change my life because I've always
been friendly and make lots of friends. I never meet
a stranger, but making these serious friendships like Kathy and
I will, We'll go to death being best.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Friends, and well we will and we will unless we
fight over the same guy and then you're dead.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
To me, I wouldn't allow it. It's I'm very simple,
all right.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Dan.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
We're so happy for you that you got to experience this.
We're very sorry for what you had to deal with
and that's just part of life. But now I'm excited
for you to move on.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
For you are and you know what, Dan, it will
you will? It's time and and it's going to happen.
But so we do this thing where we read letters
from fans and we give advice. And because you are
the lucky guy today, we want you to help us
weigh in. So I'm gonna read a question and then
you're gonna help give its advice.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Okay, are you good with that? All right?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Please?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Anonymous? And some of the questions are anonymous, and we
don't care if they have a name. Okay, Anonymous asks, Hi, ladies,
I could really use your help. My husband had a
heart attack about eight months ago and has been stuck
in a funk ever since. His health has been improving
remarkably and the doctor gave him the green light to
start doing some light activities he used to dabble in. However,
(22:38):
he hasn't wanted to really do anything. He takes care
of himself and make sure to do light exercise, but
anything that's not doctor mandated he doesn't do. He's normally
such a fun and social guy, but he's been pretty reclusive.
I feel like he hasn't been able to relax. Still,
given all that he's been through, how can I help
him get out of this? And start feeling like I'm
(23:00):
off again. We love you both and thank you in advance.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
What says you, Dan, Well, first of all, she's she's
an incredible person to be come out and seek help
and to know that she just wants to be there
for her husband.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
That's amazing. That's great. And her heart certainly in the right.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
That goes with the territory.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Damn sure, yeah, and it should, but it doesn't always right.
So you're right, kudos to her and that.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
And she's trying to figure out how to bring him along.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
He just had this life changing experience and he survived.
Maybe he's a little in touch with his mortality so
he's more cautious. Listen to him, be there for him,
and and you know, don't don't give up on proposing
some light activities that would be out of.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I think she's scared. I think men are a little scared,
and when something like that happens, that's huge. He doesn't
want to die. You got to give him time and
like you said, be there for him and encourage him.
But I don't think there's a whole lot more you
can do. He's got to come on his own.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Well, and I think Dan, you had a great idea,
you know, saying hey, let's go for a walk, or
sort of slowly.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Easing into it. But I'm I'll be like, all right, babe,
the worst is over. You've got to get up.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
See that's your hard suits in your heart. You have
to be kind. But I would say, I would say
that he probably is scared. He probably is scared, and
you have to respect that because you know these are
that's truly a life change.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You know it certainly is right.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
And I can tell you from the male's perspective, at
least of our generation for sure. And I don't I
don't think this goes away in any generation. Actually, we
want to be the provider and the perfector of our
our partners or loved ones or our wives. And you know,
now he's questioning his abilities to do that because he's
in a week in state.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
And that's understanding. You're so wise. You're watching eat it.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, Susan and Kathy are coming after Dan. Now, Dan,
let me tell you what's gonna happen. That's going to
be a sound bite. Social media is gonna pick up.
Kathy Susan both want Dan. So get buckle up, Dan,
get ready.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Let's go. Social media is awesome? Is that?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Oh God?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Are you on social media?
Speaker 3 (25:27):
You know I posted? I haven't posted in a couple
of months.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
I was trying to be active and I've got my
my daughters and my niece has helped me mostly.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
How many kids do you have, Dan?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I have two daughters, thanks?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
And how old are they?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Six?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Do you have kids married?
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Both married? Yes?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
And one in Tampa, one in Orange County and uh
one has I have a granddaughter in Tampa and my
youngest daughter and her husband were waiting there there.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
There'll be grand kids there soon.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
How old is your granddaughter?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
She's a senior in high school seventeen?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Oh wow, Oh you need a new baby now, somebody
to spoil.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
So that's to be clear, not his own, his grand.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Now it's time for a bachelor Nation and all our
listeners to get to know Dan a little better. So
we have a little fun game, and we'd like to
do this before we have to wrap up today. These
are fun, easy questions. Okay, So what is what is
(26:36):
one piece of advice you wish you could give your
younger self?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Listen more.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Good good. I love that.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I would send it to myself too. Yeah, that's a
good one.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Okay, wow, except one time one guy, And this was
kind of towards the end. I lost a lot of respect.
But I was trying to listen and he turned around
and said to me, now's your chance to listen. I said,
excuse me, Wow, how that was? It's okay, he's in
a rearview mirror. Okay, no, I get that.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
I I love that piece of advice.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Man.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Actually, all right, what's your favorite way to unwind after
a long day?
Speaker 3 (27:27):
You know, I don't drink anymore, so there's no happy hour.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
But I'm in this this place where the beaches are fantastic,
the sunsets are incredible, and it's all.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Rubbing Dan really good. Wait, Susan, Susan, how fast you
get on good? We can be there in no time.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
I believe in there.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
He's gone to California. I twic.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
I said, we're gonna hop a plane fast before he's gone.
Someone to walk on the beach.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
You walk on my beach a lot, and it's you know,
it's it's good exercise, you know, Uh, it's it's great
to be out in the sunshine. It's uh, you know,
a little bit spiritual. There's lots of nature. It's a
great way to unwind.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Do you live on the beach? I said, Wow, what
is your favorite memory that you have when you were
a teenager? Does something just stand at one thing?
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (28:24):
You know, I've had so many recent thoughts about things
that my dad and I have done, and we spent
a lot of time outdoors together, and one of his
passions was fishing. And I'm thinking of you and I
used to do these flying fishing, flying fishing trips.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Into flying fishing. Yeah where in Canada?
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Northern Ontario? Where well, we we'd fly out of Red
Lake like Goose Lake.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
And yeah, my daughter, my daughter, my sister lives in Ontario.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Oh you're kidding me? Where?
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Well, she lived in Toronto. Now she lives in Ottawa.
But I've been pretty much all through Ottawa. I know
where you're talking. I mean Ontario. Very Yeah, it's beautiful there.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
With my dad, I'm thinking about and fishing with him
and just you do more. Fishing is not all about
catching fish.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Isn't it funny? I was just going to say to you,
isn't it funny when we when we lose someone special,
we spend at least I do I should I shouldn't
put words in your mouth, but I spend a lot
of time when my husband died, spend a lot of
time and I still do rethinking, re living those memories
because that's how you preserve them in your heart. You
(29:30):
know that's that's uh so, I'm glad you get to
do that.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
It's true, it's true. Yes, it's important.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Okay, what with the title of your autobiography be.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
I like that question? I don't know, give me a second.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Keep it clean.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Dan tried the best he could.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
That's a good one. I like that title. He tried
the best he could. I like it. I like it
all right. If you if you could bring back any
fashion trend or old slang, what would it be?
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Old slang? Yeah? The gods are so many great ones
from from our genre.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
My kids, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Fashion trends, you know they're already making a comeback.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
But bottoms are backing.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Yeah, but they're doing it without any any of our input.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
How about the slang banging? My kids? I still say it,
Oh my god, have you heard that? And my kids
are like, Mom, that's in Boston. I never.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I've never found that until she.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Told me, where did you grow up?
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Susan outside of Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Okay, well, yeah, I grew up in Iowa and we said.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Banging there, everybody said banging.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I tried. I do the best I can. Dare Sorry,
is there anything you've always wanted to do but haven't
done it?
Speaker 1 (31:01):
That was my question?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Okay, I'm sorry I jumped the guns.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
That's these are great ones. So, man, I have done
so much.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
I've been fortunate to do so many things and travel
extensively and all that. It would probably be U. And
I've had no lack of adventure either.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I mean I've I've done it all.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Crazy exciting things, and so I don't know if I
think it would be going somewhere I wanted to and
I want to live there for a little while, like
Portugal or Spain.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
I've been to Europe.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
I think, do you speak about the language, Dan, I.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
Speak a little bit of Spanish just from being around it,
and I speak a little bit of.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
German Mucho de Niro.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
See.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
My daughter speaks fluent span I'm not kidding. My daughter
speaks fluent Spanish. My son speaks fluent German. Okay, and
I speak in of Spanish to get by. Yeah, speak,
I wanted my kids to It was the goal of mine.
I wanted my to be bilingual. And two of my
kids are I mean truly bilingual and uh. And then
(32:06):
my third child, who I adore, the mother of my
oldest granddaughter. He's really good most of the time with English.
So wait, I have a question if you if you found, like,
if you found the person that you want to be with,
what what would your life look like? What? What would
(32:28):
what would you want to do with that person that
you're not doing? Now?
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Okay, based on what you've just instructed me, I should
listen and love them completely.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I mean, you know what else a valuable guy who
listens and takes direction? Well, check for you, dad, check
check check?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Would you travel?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Though?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Like do you like to cook? Would you cook together?
What I'm getting that is the we can all do
those things by ourselves, but what things would you like
to do with someone else?
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (33:07):
And at this stage of life, you know, everybody says travel.
And I've been fortunate to travel a lot with my
business and personally and all that. But there's I mean,
the world's a big place. Haven't been to a lot
of places. So travel is always fun. It's it's a
great way to get to know your partner. Yeah, I agree,
It just is because you're.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Gonna have challenges. You're going to have highs.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
And lows and yeah, you're right, you're gonna you're gonna
be lugging around those heavy suitcases for the woman who
can't pack a dussle. Yes, go for three weeks. Wait,
one more question. Where do you want to go? Since
you've traveled a lot, where's the first place?
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Well, I haven't been to Portugal. I've been to Spain,
but I want to those parts of.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Spa time my left.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
I want to go to Portugal. I've been to Spain twice,
but only a little bit. And my next trip I
wanted to do south to Spain and end up in Portugal.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, okay, Page I let's go.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Let's plan a trip three of us, Susan.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
That is another SoundBite that's not going to play well.
Will you think about I'm really sorry they're going to
have you married.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
What is the worst piece of advice you've ever been given?
That's the last question I promised.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Oh my gosh, oh no, I've got another one for him.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Well, it would it would have to be with an
investment of some kind.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Of Okay, okay, fair enough, fair enough, Okay, Kathy.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
I'm lost now, Okay, what you know. I I'm just
going to tell you straight up. We've had a couple
of episodes and we've talked about New Year's goals and resolutions.
I'm not a big January one. I mean, we're well
into this February now, but I'm not a big goal
(34:57):
uh person in that one one moment January one, twenty
twenty five, because I try to make myself a better
person every day of the year. Having said that, what
are your goals for twenty twenty five? Not like a resolution?
Just what do you how do you see you?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
What do you want to twenty five? Yeah? How do
you see it shaping up?
Speaker 3 (35:16):
It's that's a great question. I'm a lot like you,
is that I don't. I don't do you lose, Susan.
I try to live in the moment, and it's hard
to do.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
I mean, you have to make plans, and obviously, if
you live life, those plans are going to get thrown
out the window. Case of point, my last couple of months,
in my next couple of months too, I'm going to
be going back to kat Kansas City, a little bit
here and there, and so those kind of things. But overall,
self improvement is a goal. I want to relocate and
(35:48):
that's that's a good But that was a goal for
twenty four Just because it didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
It doesn't mean still life late.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
Ye yeah, looking ahead towards that and just try to
become a better person, more evolved and healthier. And you know,
I feel like I need to be a little more
settled till I find my person too, because right now,
you know, if I were to meet someone in Florida
or California or in.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Between, it's where are you going to be?
Speaker 4 (36:14):
And so I know where I want to be, and
that's family related to my my daughter.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Oh so wait, so you found have one in Florida.
You still have a daughter in Florida?
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
You're leaving one to be with another, Yes, and I've
been I've.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Been fortunate to be close to her and my.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Grand about half and half.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Well, you know that'd be nice, Yeah, nice.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
I would leave the summers in Florida goes.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
To you and you don't want to relocate, You would
not relocate if you found the right person, like chalk.
You know, he's they're they're probably going to end up
on the East Coast somewhere.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Yeah, you're not a guy that's wanting to really Okay,
you're going to move to California. You're gonna find grow
in California.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Let's put it this way.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
It's I need to be settled so I can have
that flexibility.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
I guess. I want to be near.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
I want to be a part of their family as
it begins. I mean there's the two of them, and
as you know, they're going to have grandkids.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
You're talking about your you're talking about your child with California, Yes,
and so I want.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
To be there for those things. It doesn't mean I
can't spend half the year somewhere else or more travel
and do all those things. Just where that's going to
be home base, because I do want to be integrated
with them. It's too far. It's too far.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
And who's to say the person you meet wouldn't want
to join you in both places. I mean that's right,
too right, definitely doable.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Right, Well, you go ahead, No, you go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
Keeping an open mind through all this at our age,
because everybody has the same circumstances.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
I mean, they just do.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
I have to say, we've interviewed a lot of the
guys from Jones season, and each one of you we
didn't know you. You know, people think that everybody knows
everybody on Vachlination, But you are as interesting and as
kind and fun as as you know we had heard

join us.

Oh, you know, it's it's been It's been an interesting
and crazy time. On a on a personal note, I
flew directly from the finale. What I saw YouTube, yea
and everyone else that was there. And my father had
been diagnosed with dew blastoma and he passed away.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
So I flew directly to Kansas City. My siblings and
I were there, my mother for two months, the whole time.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Sorry.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
He faced it with courage and a positive attitude and
then he was ready and that made us all a peace.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
So that's what I've been up to.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I have I have two friends who died from cleoblastoma.
It's yeah, it's it's a you know, it's it's a
it's not it's exactly what it is. It's a horrible,
horrible diagnosis, and it's very fast.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
How old was he?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Which is a blessing, but that's what goes on.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
And so yeah, he handled it courageously and thanks to
family and friends that supported us through all that time.
So time for time for life to move on though,
and Mom's doing well, and.

At eighty nine. I wouldn't mind checking out now.

for a week, and I'm going back to Kansas City
where my mother is on Saturday. So I really haven't
had an opportunity to date period. And we live on
opposite coasts. So if I was in l A.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
But you told me, Dan, you told me the five
seconds that I got to talk to you at Joan
and Shok's engagement party when you weren't otherwise engaged, you
told me that you were thinking about moving to l
A closer to your son's.
Speaker 4 (04:44):

Orange County. Uh By now my daughter and son in
law live in Anaheim Hills, and so that was That's

not on a timeline. So maybe at some point this
year I can get that handle. But I've got real
(05:06):
estate here. I've got things to take care of.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Are you in Naples, You're in Florida.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah, so, Kathy, maybe we should go check out his
real estate because we want to go to Naples.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
We have never been to Naples.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It's all over Florida, never Naples.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Is it nice?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
It's beautiful. It really is.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
A nice beach community, incredible restaurants, great.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Beaches, golf, golf.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Are you a golfer?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Dam I'm retired from golf, is what I like to say.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I'm going to want to golf from golf?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Right, I found other interests, you know, I still like it.
I enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
What's your biggest interest? What do you do?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
What's your You know, I've been enjoying.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I live at the beach. You know, it's five hundred
feet from my front door.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Of we have to look at this.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
And so I'm into nature and fishing, boating and and uh.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
And can I give you one little bit of a
piece of advice here.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
If you go on a dating site, don't If you.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Go on a dating site, do not take a picture
of yourself holding up a dead fish.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Is the biggest in the mirror in the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Don't stand in the mirror with the bathroom. And for
God's sakes, keep your shirt on when you're taking pictures.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
These are these are okay, this is basic common sense.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
But what else what you would think?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Would think one would think, But most of them don't
get it all right?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Dating sites, I don't know about that, you guys. If
you guys try them.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I wish did you to see how my eyes just
bugged out of my head. We've all tried, yes, And
you know what.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I marry people, as you know, and I cannot tell
you how many people that I marry that have met
on dating sites. D Yeah, most of them younger of course.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Have you had success, Dan, I mean in the past
on dating.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
I've been on and off some of the dating apps,
you know, Yeah, and I've met some terrific women. And
for I consider those that I've dated, I'm still friends.
And you know, at this age we part reasonably.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
What are we going to see?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
It's easy, right, whatever reason, they didn't work out, but
some very very quality women.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So we have a quick question ahead. When a man
puts not looking for a long term relations did you
put down long term relationship.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
What are you looking for on the profile? What do
you That's exactly what I was going to ask you, Dan.
Do you put down friendship, something casual, long term relationship?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Marriage?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
What do you put down?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I leave that very unspecific intentionally you leave it. I don't.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
I don't comment because I think that depends on the
situation the person.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
And it takes two to tango, all.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Right, And there's no checkbox saying start out slow and
see where it goes. You know, that's right. How long
have you been single?
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Dan?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Oh, my gosh, I was.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I was divorced in twenty ten, so coming up on
fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Married, Yeah, And I've been in a couple of long
term relationships and some time in between where I didn't
date all So I'm in one of those phases right now.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Well, you've had a lot on your plate. Dam be
kind to yourself. Behind yourself here, be good to you,
all right, Since you want to start with the question
of the day.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Okay, here we go. What are some signs that help
you see if the person you're dating is into you
or not?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
How do you know, Dan, of a woman's into you
or not?
Speaker 3 (08:36):
So it's y'all are confusing anyway, So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I think ahead, do you think women are confusing a
little bit?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Yeah, you know, it's the Venus and Mars thing. Maybe
a little bit. But to answer your question, you know,
I think if they laugh at my jokes.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Sincerely, that's a I throw some bad ones out there.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Well, see if you were with me and you threw
a bad one, I'd be like, really big, No, don't
say that's a good sign. But there are there any
tell tale signs that, you know what you feel more
confident that she's into me or well?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I think if people are asking questions genuinely, you can
sense if it's genuine or if it's programmed or you know,
if they if they want to talk mostly about themselves,
you know, maybe they're trying to get their story out.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
That's not really fair.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
But if if they're asking questions about me and my interests,
my family, my.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Life, then Susan, do you remember we talked about that.
We talked about that. Susan dated a guy for ten
minutes who all he did was all he did was
talk about himself, and I was the one that said,
offload him. If a guy is asking you questions about
yourself if you're not asking him questions reciprocal the benefit
(09:57):
of the doubt the first phone call, like maybe he's
nervous or what.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
But by the third phone call, I knew his life story,
what he drove. He was supposed to be on Jones season.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
That's Susan could even do our podcast because she was
very busy writing his biography. She had no time. Kathy, Yeah,
all right, so yeah, I think that's true. I mean,
I think that's I think you've got a great handle
on it. And like you said, you just haven't had
time to right now to get into but you will.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
You will be.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Okay. So the next thing that we do, we we
just want to talk about your life a little bit
more than we have. So I want to know prior
to the show, and really, how is your life changed?
That's what I wanted. Well, and I know you've had
a tough time because of your dad, but you know,
(10:58):
how are you different now now than you were but
when you went on the show.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Or you think differently?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Maybe yeah, a little different perspective, Susan and Cathy to
answer your question, I don't know that has changed me
to my fundamentally or anything like anything else. It's an
amazing experience and I learned so much from it, and
I you know, I have all these new friends, and
that's that's definitely a change.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
The one thing that we've talked about the guys as a.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Post show and that is and me personally is I
have a lot of good guy friends that go back
to elementary school, high school, college, that kind of thing
all over the country because I've lived in a few
different places here in Naples, Kansas City, California, Iowa where
I grew up in Des Moines and so. But they're
all married and they're great and I love their wives.
(11:47):
We're friends too, But to be around single guys of
my age, it was unique to me and it opened
my eyes somebody I can relate to.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
In that respect.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
It's amazing that you can make a friendship at this
stage of our life.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But I will tell you particular right, yes, and we
all come with baggage. We none of you know, we
all have children, grandkids, We've all had divorces, deaths, we've
all had But I just want to commend you because
I have a way. I really don't know you that well,
but you know, we chatted a little bit, and but
I will to me, you don't even know this one
of my and I've told Susan this. One of the
(12:23):
ways I judge a man is I judge all people
this way. If they have friends from every avenue of
their life. What you just said, you're a good person
because it's never ever served me wrong. People who only
have current friends, there's there's an issue. I don't know why.
(12:44):
It's never putting me wrong. So you must be a
great guy because you just said you have friends from everywhere.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
So yeah, I am very understanding. Friends.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Take the compliment, Dan, take the complicated.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Here, Thank you compliment, Thank you Dan.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
If there is a golden paradise, the question is would
you go? And if you were to go, who would
you want to see on that beach?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Well? You two for sure?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yes, the guy ran, the guy ran for governor last year.
That's what you have to say that damn what else?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Who seriously would you go?
Speaker 4 (13:21):
You know, I don't understand blor in paradise and what
would go on with us golden people?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Ye would have to be you know, I'm open to anything.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Absolutely, Yeah, you know that's how we feel, right, I mean,
what do you like outdoor sports. You know, are you
gonna You're gonna have a drink? Are you gonna play pickleball?
You're gonna play? Oh you're not gonna play golf? Are
you gonna swim?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
You know?
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I play, I play golf, I'd swim, I did. I
try everything. I'm an outdoorsman and I.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Can you date ten women at once?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I can barely handle one?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Come on, are you the jealous type?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
You know what? I think it's good to have a
touch of jealousy.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Just Susan, we just answered that. You said no.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
You know, I said a touch a little bit and then.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Means that means you care about no. No, yes, I'm
not saying you can't be obsessive and possessive.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I agree to me if I'm dating at all, If
i'm dating, no. I was married to my husband for
almost forty six years. I was never jealous.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
You know why.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I trusted him implicitly and I felt like we were
lucky to have each other. I didn't spend one ounce
of time worrying that he was with someone else or
wanted someone else.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I did.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Maybe I was stupid, I.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Mean, that's not that's more of a trust thing, but
a jealousy thing. If somebody's paying a lot of attention
to somebody and.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Then I'm going to kill him. Well, sorry, you didn't
make that clear. He's mine, He's mine. Susan, head over there,
get at him right along? So right, let's go who.
So we always ask uh if you were on a
deserted island, and we've asked every guy from your season.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It's been interesting.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I want the answer, but I also want to know why,
aside from Susan and me, who of course will accompany
you to a deserted island because Susan loves to cook
and I'll make you laugh good.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
As long as you go fishing, because there's not going
to be a story.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
And I don't really care that much about food.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
We're all people at the table, all.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Right, What three guys from Jones season would you bring?
And why? I want to know why?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Right, give me a seconds.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Remember it's a political answer, Sure.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
It is, Sure it is.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
And if you're if you're gonna keep it to three
and then and maybe the reasons will become clear.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
So you know, my boy Keith, my boy Greg, and
then you know I might need to bring Pascal just because.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Eleonard Pascal is a popular choice.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Tell me why, and.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
I'll tell you what. He is a good hearted man,
I mean he is. I consider him a good friend.
I consider everybody from the show a good friend. Pascal
certainly would bring. He's a great conversationalist. We're going to
need that on the Desert Island. He's entertaining. He's got
his own perspective in the world. And I get I
get Pascal, He's I get him.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
So that's cool.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Greg is one of the smartest guys that I've met.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
And he has this Gregg, the guy that I had
the beard, that was a VP or lives in Florida somewhere.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah, he lives.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
He lives in Longbow Key, Uh yeah, in Salt Lake City,
but Florida is basically his home.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
So, and he was a roommate, so is Pascal. So
I know those.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Guys probably yeah, as well as anybody too. Yeah and so,
but Greg is he's super intelligent. He's highly educated, and
he and I share a similar perspective on the world.
I would say we laugh at the same things. We
find something is about life completely ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I used to think Kathy and him would make a
good match. From the very beginning of the show, I did.
I used to think you guys would well that that do.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I think I make a good I don't even know him. Okay,
so here's the thing about me. I am very I
actually was talking to guy just friends. He and I
are just friends, truly older sister whatever. But he said
to me, you know, I see you with someone really loud,
and and.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
He did, I forgot to tell you that. Sis.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
He said, I see somebody like who's just out there
and full of energy. And I said, you're wrong, that's
not I. I'm a lot.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I'm a lot.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I'm I'm full of energy. I actually prefer men who
are quieter and exact and intelligence but calming, because that
calms me, like it would be hysteria of if I
dated a guy that, you know, like a jack, I
(18:03):
couldn't do it. He's a great guy.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
No, no, I love it.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Actually he's in Florida now. It was just getting to Florida.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yeah, so do you get together with all the kinds?
Notice how by the way, I circumvented that question, because
I'm supposed to ask you, Dan, who you see Susan
and me with if who would you fix.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Us up with?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Okay, Well, now that I have insight to you, Kathy,
I need some more insight on what Susan's looking for,
So tell me about that.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Just somebody to adore me like I adore them. I
don't need.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Women are simple, Dan, they are. We all want someone
who loves us, who we can love.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Men think we're more complex than we really are. Yeah
that's true.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
All right, Well I'm listening your sage with your wisdom.
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yes, okay, So because he's so fun and full of laughs,
he's an energetic kind of guy. When you chose him.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Keith to go on the Keith Yeah, yeah, And Keith
is just he's just he's happy about everything.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Have you watched him? He's like all in with.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Behind me and me everything's good.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
And so wait, Susan, is that you wait? Maybe that's it?
And maybe you should pair her up with Keith?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
So would it be good to be somebody just like
you two of the same? Isn't it said that opposite
a track? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I think I think I need an introvert because I'm
not one.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
My husband was was My husband was quiet, guy.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
I don't know if our cast is the right group,
then I don't know if there's many introverts there.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
No, I wouldn't anymore.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yeah, but that's great that you know that you made
such good friends.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
And do you see the other guys from the show.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
I've seen a few, yes, and we talk text, I
should say, and sometimes talk. But yeah, there's been a
couple occasions that I've seen some the guys and not everybody,
but we're trying to as we move around the country
for different things, you know, include each other, and some
with intents. Like when I was in Kansas City, we
(20:11):
had pre planned.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
And everybody, Yeah, Chalk and I.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
And Heath and Jordan had put together and we were hoping.
David was close. He had another obligation. Excuse me, Gary
was close going.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
To say, I know who David is. He lives. He's
the guy with the unbuttoned shirt, the golden necklace who
owns a ranch in the city of Austin, which dost.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
That wasn't David, that was his name.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
David was the guy from you I know who you're
talking to.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I said the wrong name, but yeah, I know David.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
He was only the briefly guy, a really good guy.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yeah, so introverts for both of you.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
It sounds like, well, I mean, I say introvert, quieter guy,
I can't. I mean somebody who is on all the time,
because I tend to be on a lot of the time.
I can't deal with someone I mean Jackson Gregg.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
We've talked.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Susan's good friends with them, but I mean that, you
know that's just too and it'd be too much for
you to season.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I mean, I know, I know, but no, I love
the fact that you got to experience this as we did.
It has It didn't change my life because I've always
been friendly and make lots of friends. I never meet
a stranger, but making these serious friendships like Kathy and
I will, We'll go to death being best.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Friends, and well we will and we will unless we
fight over the same guy and then you're dead.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
To me, I wouldn't allow it. It's I'm very simple,
all right.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Dan.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
We're so happy for you that you got to experience this.
We're very sorry for what you had to deal with
and that's just part of life. But now I'm excited
for you to move on.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
For you are and you know what, Dan, it will
you will? It's time and and it's going to happen.
But so we do this thing where we read letters
from fans and we give advice. And because you are
the lucky guy today, we want you to help us
weigh in. So I'm gonna read a question and then
you're gonna help give its advice.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Okay, are you good with that? All right?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Please?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Anonymous? And some of the questions are anonymous, and we
don't care if they have a name. Okay, Anonymous asks, Hi, ladies,
I could really use your help. My husband had a
heart attack about eight months ago and has been stuck
in a funk ever since. His health has been improving
remarkably and the doctor gave him the green light to
start doing some light activities he used to dabble in. However,
(22:38):
he hasn't wanted to really do anything. He takes care
of himself and make sure to do light exercise, but
anything that's not doctor mandated he doesn't do. He's normally
such a fun and social guy, but he's been pretty reclusive.
I feel like he hasn't been able to relax. Still,
given all that he's been through, how can I help
him get out of this? And start feeling like I'm
(23:00):
off again. We love you both and thank you in advance.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
What says you, Dan, Well, first of all, she's she's
an incredible person to be come out and seek help
and to know that she just wants to be there
for her husband.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
That's amazing. That's great. And her heart certainly in the right.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
That goes with the territory.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Damn sure, yeah, and it should, but it doesn't always right.
So you're right, kudos to her and that.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
And she's trying to figure out how to bring him along.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
He just had this life changing experience and he survived.
Maybe he's a little in touch with his mortality so
he's more cautious. Listen to him, be there for him,
and and you know, don't don't give up on proposing
some light activities that would be out of.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I think she's scared. I think men are a little scared,
and when something like that happens, that's huge. He doesn't
want to die. You got to give him time and
like you said, be there for him and encourage him.
But I don't think there's a whole lot more you
can do. He's got to come on his own.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Well, and I think Dan, you had a great idea,
you know, saying hey, let's go for a walk, or
sort of slowly.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Easing into it. But I'm I'll be like, all right, babe,
the worst is over. You've got to get up.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
See that's your hard suits in your heart. You have
to be kind. But I would say, I would say
that he probably is scared. He probably is scared, and
you have to respect that because you know these are
that's truly a life change.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You know it certainly is right.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
And I can tell you from the male's perspective, at
least of our generation for sure. And I don't I
don't think this goes away in any generation. Actually, we
want to be the provider and the perfector of our
our partners or loved ones or our wives. And you know,
now he's questioning his abilities to do that because he's
in a week in state.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
And that's understanding. You're so wise. You're watching eat it.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, Susan and Kathy are coming after Dan. Now, Dan,
let me tell you what's gonna happen. That's going to
be a sound bite. Social media is gonna pick up.
Kathy Susan both want Dan. So get buckle up, Dan,
get ready.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Let's go. Social media is awesome? Is that?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Oh God?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Are you on social media?
Speaker 3 (25:27):
You know I posted? I haven't posted in a couple
of months.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
I was trying to be active and I've got my
my daughters and my niece has helped me mostly.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
How many kids do you have, Dan?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I have two daughters, thanks?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
And how old are they?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Six?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Do you have kids married?
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Both married? Yes?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
And one in Tampa, one in Orange County and uh
one has I have a granddaughter in Tampa and my
youngest daughter and her husband were waiting there there.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
There'll be grand kids there soon.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
How old is your granddaughter?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
She's a senior in high school seventeen?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Oh wow, Oh you need a new baby now, somebody
to spoil.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
So that's to be clear, not his own, his grand.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Now it's time for a bachelor Nation and all our
listeners to get to know Dan a little better. So
we have a little fun game, and we'd like to
do this before we have to wrap up today. These
are fun, easy questions. Okay, So what is what is
(26:36):
one piece of advice you wish you could give your
younger self?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Listen more.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Good good. I love that.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I would send it to myself too. Yeah, that's a
good one.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Okay, wow, except one time one guy, And this was
kind of towards the end. I lost a lot of respect.
But I was trying to listen and he turned around
and said to me, now's your chance to listen. I said,
excuse me, Wow, how that was? It's okay, he's in
a rearview mirror. Okay, no, I get that.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
I I love that piece of advice.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Man.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Actually, all right, what's your favorite way to unwind after
a long day?
Speaker 3 (27:27):
You know, I don't drink anymore, so there's no happy hour.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
But I'm in this this place where the beaches are fantastic,
the sunsets are incredible, and it's all.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Rubbing Dan really good. Wait, Susan, Susan, how fast you
get on good? We can be there in no time.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
I believe in there.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
He's gone to California. I twic.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
I said, we're gonna hop a plane fast before he's gone.
Someone to walk on the beach.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
You walk on my beach a lot, and it's you know,
it's it's good exercise, you know, Uh, it's it's great
to be out in the sunshine. It's uh, you know,
a little bit spiritual. There's lots of nature. It's a
great way to unwind.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Do you live on the beach? I said, Wow, what
is your favorite memory that you have when you were
a teenager? Does something just stand at one thing?
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (28:24):
You know, I've had so many recent thoughts about things
that my dad and I have done, and we spent
a lot of time outdoors together, and one of his
passions was fishing. And I'm thinking of you and I
used to do these flying fishing, flying fishing trips.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Into flying fishing. Yeah where in Canada?
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Northern Ontario? Where well, we we'd fly out of Red
Lake like Goose Lake.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
And yeah, my daughter, my daughter, my sister lives in Ontario.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Oh you're kidding me? Where?
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Well, she lived in Toronto. Now she lives in Ottawa.
But I've been pretty much all through Ottawa. I know
where you're talking. I mean Ontario. Very Yeah, it's beautiful there.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
With my dad, I'm thinking about and fishing with him
and just you do more. Fishing is not all about
catching fish.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Isn't it funny? I was just going to say to you,
isn't it funny when we when we lose someone special,
we spend at least I do I should I shouldn't
put words in your mouth, but I spend a lot
of time when my husband died, spend a lot of
time and I still do rethinking, re living those memories
because that's how you preserve them in your heart. You
(29:30):
know that's that's uh so, I'm glad you get to
do that.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
It's true, it's true. Yes, it's important.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Okay, what with the title of your autobiography be.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
I like that question? I don't know, give me a second.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Keep it clean.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Dan tried the best he could.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
That's a good one. I like that title. He tried
the best he could. I like it. I like it
all right. If you if you could bring back any
fashion trend or old slang, what would it be?
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Old slang? Yeah? The gods are so many great ones
from from our genre.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
My kids, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Fashion trends, you know they're already making a comeback.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
But bottoms are backing.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Yeah, but they're doing it without any any of our input.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
How about the slang banging? My kids? I still say it,
Oh my god, have you heard that? And my kids
are like, Mom, that's in Boston. I never.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I've never found that until she.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Told me, where did you grow up?
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Susan outside of Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Okay, well, yeah, I grew up in Iowa and we said.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Banging there, everybody said banging.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I tried. I do the best I can. Dare Sorry,
is there anything you've always wanted to do but haven't
done it?
Speaker 1 (31:01):
That was my question?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Okay, I'm sorry I jumped the guns.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
That's these are great ones. So, man, I have done
so much.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
I've been fortunate to do so many things and travel
extensively and all that. It would probably be U. And
I've had no lack of adventure either.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I mean I've I've done it all.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Crazy exciting things, and so I don't know if I
think it would be going somewhere I wanted to and
I want to live there for a little while, like
Portugal or Spain.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
I've been to Europe.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
I think, do you speak about the language, Dan, I.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
Speak a little bit of Spanish just from being around it,
and I speak a little bit of.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
German Mucho de Niro.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
See.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
My daughter speaks fluent span I'm not kidding. My daughter
speaks fluent Spanish. My son speaks fluent German. Okay, and
I speak in of Spanish to get by. Yeah, speak,
I wanted my kids to It was the goal of mine.
I wanted my to be bilingual. And two of my
kids are I mean truly bilingual and uh. And then
(32:06):
my third child, who I adore, the mother of my
oldest granddaughter. He's really good most of the time with English.
So wait, I have a question if you if you found, like,
if you found the person that you want to be with,
what what would your life look like? What? What would
(32:28):
what would you want to do with that person that
you're not doing? Now?
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Okay, based on what you've just instructed me, I should
listen and love them completely.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I mean, you know what else a valuable guy who
listens and takes direction? Well, check for you, dad, check
check check?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Would you travel?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Though?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Like do you like to cook? Would you cook together?
What I'm getting that is the we can all do
those things by ourselves, but what things would you like
to do with someone else?
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (33:07):
And at this stage of life, you know, everybody says travel.
And I've been fortunate to travel a lot with my
business and personally and all that. But there's I mean,
the world's a big place. Haven't been to a lot
of places. So travel is always fun. It's it's a
great way to get to know your partner. Yeah, I agree,
It just is because you're.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Gonna have challenges. You're going to have highs.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
And lows and yeah, you're right, you're gonna you're gonna
be lugging around those heavy suitcases for the woman who
can't pack a dussle. Yes, go for three weeks. Wait,
one more question. Where do you want to go? Since
you've traveled a lot, where's the first place?
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Well, I haven't been to Portugal. I've been to Spain,
but I want to those parts of.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Spa time my left.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
I want to go to Portugal. I've been to Spain twice,
but only a little bit. And my next trip I
wanted to do south to Spain and end up in Portugal.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, okay, Page I let's go.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Let's plan a trip three of us, Susan.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
That is another SoundBite that's not going to play well.
Will you think about I'm really sorry they're going to
have you married.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
What is the worst piece of advice you've ever been given?
That's the last question I promised.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Oh my gosh, oh no, I've got another one for him.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Well, it would it would have to be with an
investment of some kind.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Of Okay, okay, fair enough, fair enough, Okay, Kathy.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
I'm lost now, Okay, what you know. I I'm just
going to tell you straight up. We've had a couple
of episodes and we've talked about New Year's goals and resolutions.
I'm not a big January one. I mean, we're well
into this February now, but I'm not a big goal
(34:57):
uh person in that one one moment January one, twenty
twenty five, because I try to make myself a better
person every day of the year. Having said that, what
are your goals for twenty twenty five? Not like a resolution?
Just what do you how do you see you?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
What do you want to twenty five? Yeah? How do
you see it shaping up?
Speaker 3 (35:16):
It's that's a great question. I'm a lot like you,
is that I don't. I don't do you lose, Susan.
I try to live in the moment, and it's hard
to do.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
I mean, you have to make plans, and obviously, if
you live life, those plans are going to get thrown
out the window. Case of point, my last couple of months,
in my next couple of months too, I'm going to
be going back to kat Kansas City, a little bit
here and there, and so those kind of things. But overall,
self improvement is a goal. I want to relocate and
(35:48):
that's that's a good But that was a goal for
twenty four Just because it didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
It doesn't mean still life late.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
Ye yeah, looking ahead towards that and just try to
become a better person, more evolved and healthier. And you know,
I feel like I need to be a little more
settled till I find my person too, because right now,
you know, if I were to meet someone in Florida
or California or in.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Between, it's where are you going to be?
Speaker 4 (36:14):
And so I know where I want to be, and
that's family related to my my daughter.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Oh so wait, so you found have one in Florida.
You still have a daughter in Florida?
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
You're leaving one to be with another, Yes, and I've
been I've.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Been fortunate to be close to her and my.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Grand about half and half.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Well, you know that'd be nice, Yeah, nice.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
I would leave the summers in Florida goes.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
To you and you don't want to relocate, You would
not relocate if you found the right person, like chalk.
You know, he's they're they're probably going to end up
on the East Coast somewhere.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Yeah, you're not a guy that's wanting to really Okay,
you're going to move to California. You're gonna find grow
in California.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Let's put it this way.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
It's I need to be settled so I can have
that flexibility.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
I guess. I want to be near.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
I want to be a part of their family as
it begins. I mean there's the two of them, and
as you know, they're going to have grandkids.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
You're talking about your you're talking about your child with California, Yes,
and so I want.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
To be there for those things. It doesn't mean I
can't spend half the year somewhere else or more travel
and do all those things. Just where that's going to
be home base, because I do want to be integrated
with them. It's too far. It's too far.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
And who's to say the person you meet wouldn't want
to join you in both places. I mean that's right,
too right, definitely doable.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Right, Well, you go ahead, No, you go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
Keeping an open mind through all this at our age,
because everybody has the same circumstances.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
I mean, they just do.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
I have to say, we've interviewed a lot of the
guys from Jones season, and each one of you we
didn't know you. You know, people think that everybody knows
everybody on Vachlination, But you are as interesting and as
kind and fun as as you know we had heard

join us.
