Speaker 1 (00:48):
Let's get started. There's so much we want to dive into.
Here we go first, we want to get to know
you a little bit better. Where are Let's just start
at the beginning. Where are you from?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Born and raised in Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada, born
and raised.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Okay, wow, I'm coming your way soon.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I know.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Do you win? Do you win on the strip?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Do we even gambled? People from Vegas? Probably don't even
go to the strip, is that right?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I can tell you I've gambled probably five times in
my entire life.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
It's just I have a question. Is it hard to
date in Las Vegas?
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Really hard to date? Really, it's very hard to date here.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
You know why all the men are throwing their money
away on the crafts table. That's what's going on there.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
And they don't live there, they just visit.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
But you have had an incredible career. And my son
was a firefighter, So I love you because thank you
for your service all those years that you were one.
But tell us about your life as a bomb tech.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Well, it was.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Really it was fun because I was on the fire department.
I was hired in nineteen ninety two. I was a
fourth woman hired on, so you can only guys imagine,
and back in nineteen thinety two it was kind of
it was crazy, and you know, they did not want
women on the fire department at all, they just did not.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
And somehow you got in there.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I did, and I stayed because a lot of the
women when they get hired on, they leave about six
months to a year.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
They leave because if you can't handle the heat, get
out of the kitchen. Yes, the guys don't want you there,
they really don't, you know. So I did that for
eight years on the floor. It's called fighting fires.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I was on the ladder truck company, I was lading,
I was on the pumper truck putting the fires out.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I was on the ambulance. And then, to be honest
with you, guys, I got bored.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I got going to say, did you have a favorite
out of those.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
With the bomb? The bomb? When I was a bomb tech.
So I got bored on the floor because the guys,
you know, they love it.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It's a big boys club and they have a lot
of fun and they smoke scars and they play cards
and they do their video games in between all the calls,
and it was really as a boys club. But the
guys were great. I just have to say that. So
I promoted to the Arson Division. So I went through
the fire Academy, and then after that when I was
promoted to the arsen Division, I went through the police
Academy after the base academy. I did that for a
(03:02):
while and then I became a promoted to a bomb tach.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
So I went through the FBI Bomb Academy and Hunter
Emma and Redstone Arsenal.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
So the bomb the bomb. Being a bomb tach, it
was so much fun. I really really enjoyed that. The
guys were great. What I did for a living was great.
I felt like I was the main character in the
spy novel.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, did you actually get called to a scene and
have to.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
No, Susan. She sat around played video games.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
You know, you just learned it. But how many bomb
threats are there? And you have to go dissect the bomb?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Like?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
What when we roll up on scene. We have our trucks,
we have our equipment. Nobody knows we're coming because it's
the entertainment capital of the world.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
So we slither in and we slither out.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yes, there we have a pipe bomb or we have
an unknown device. We midgate the situation and then we get.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
The hell out of there, right right, right, right?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Boy?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Okay, tell me how did you know? Did you watch
The Bachelor? I mean, were you a fan of Bachelor?
How did you get to on the Golden Bachelor?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
You saw watch Kristen's and Ryan's season? That was it?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Okay, so tell us how you got here.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
So my girlfriend Alana, my best friend from high school.
She has never missed a season.
Speaker 2 (04:13):

just said, you, I'm signing you up.

national television. There is no way I Am not going

on me and on me.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
So I went ahead. She had started the process. I
finished it.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I'm guessing your friends and family supported you. How did
you prepare to go on this, you know, what were
you hoping for? What were your expectations going on the show.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Well, when they announced Mail on a Wednesday, I think
it was in April they announced him, I'm like, oh, okay,

Speaker 1 (07:59):
All right, So we're going to fast forward a little bit.
You get the one on one last week. Let's just
get it right fun. How let me just say, in
case peg your memory is faulty, which I know it isn't.
I never had a one on one day, neither did Susan,
So we're desperate to hear all about it. What were
you feeling when you found out it would be you?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Well, I was excited because you know, I did not
go into hear Guns of Blazon because I was not
happy with that podcast. And you can ask my daughter.
I was like, you know, I was not happy. I'm like,
I dated those guys. I don't want to date those.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Narcissistic, egotistical asses. Anymore.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I've been there, done that, so I really kind of
I paused, and I knew I was going to get
some alone time with him.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
And when I did.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
At the OC Fair, we were eating our turkey legs
and we were, you know, drinking our beer and stuff.
And then we had a break and I went to him.
I said, look, I need to ask you something.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I said.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I'm glad that you apologize to all the women. I
get that, I said, but I need to know who
you are. And I told him this, I said, if
you are that guy on that podcast. I looked him
direct in the eye. I said, I don't want to
date you. I don't want to date you. I and
don't waste.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
My time, and I don't want to waste your time.
And I'm sitting here like.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
A little chihuahuah because I'm like, I'm not going to
open up my heart. I've dated these guys before and
all they do is rip your heart out and they
leave you bleeding everywhere.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Watching your date with Mel, he like, I said, the
three of us, you know, we leave no prisoners. He
looked like he was just watching you have a great time.
Like your energy you could see that he was like Wow,
look at her energy. How did you feel about that?
The whole thing?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
You guys?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
After I got an apology from him personally and we
talked about it a little bit, I realized he's not
the guy that everybody's perceiving him to be.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
And I suspend judgment because.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I really wanted to know who was inside. Yeah he's tall,
good looking, all that great stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
But are you right for me? Can you get into
mind life?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You know?
Speaker 4 (10:01):
And I just I let down my guards and I
just really started to have a good time. I have
a lot of energy, you guys, and I annoy the
shit out of a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Raise your that's three of us, we said, we're from
the same mold.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Did the three of us? We both just all we
raised our hands in unison.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I mean, wait, I have a question. You were so
full of energy and I loved you. Knew every words
of the song. And I was shocked to see Kacy
didn't even look like Casey. But was his energy matching yours?
I did not see it? Well, yes, oh hell, you know?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
And I believe because you know, getting to know him
and you know he's nervous, he's a human being.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
You guys, just like we are. And he was nervous
as much as we were nervous.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
He's got this, you know, this little jumping bean, this
little Tasmanian devil, and he's just.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Like, what do I do with this?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Right?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
He loved you being you, but you didn't seem nervous.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I was not nervous. I went in there, you guys,
and I just I wanted to be you.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Be me, You love me, you hate me? I am
who I am.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Can I just say this has not worked well for me?
I mean I say the exact same things said. I'm
just putting that out there. I am who I am.
And it's like, take me or leap me. The problem
is they mostly leave me, but moving back to you
the way.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
When somebody falls in love with you, they're going to
fall in love with your authentic self.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
It's not that it's not the representative. I don't want
to fall in love with anybody's representative.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Oh absolutely, That's why I have to be on me
y to be real.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Kathy, keep being you. Somebody will come along.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Thank you, peg, and you're going to make sure it happens.
How did it feel opened up to me about your divorce.
Was that hard?
Speaker 4 (11:45):
No, it wasn't hard.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
His wife stepped out on the marriage and my ex
husband stepped out on the marriage. So we have that
commonality and that hurt in that grief, and we understood
each other.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
But the best was the tattoo. Yeah, saying about that,
do you have any more?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Can we say it?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
We can do that in the fantasy.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Can we see your tattoo? Can we see it? Where
is it?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
I am stamp. You guys had an affair, right, and
I got a tattoo?
Speaker 3 (12:11):

love how you said, and I'll show you.
Speaker 4 (12:16):

daughter or something?

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Yes, I'm a cancer So cancers and pisces are like that.
Speaker 1 (12:32):

What do you think I am?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
I don't the ball my sister we get along as
well too. You're just stubborn.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I am not stubborn. No, I really am not. I'm
not getting wrong. I'm strong willed I'm not stubborn.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
It's a better word.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I'm not. But okay, so well wait wait.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Did you think you did you even think about the
possibility of getting that date rose that night? Or was
that furthest thing for your mind from you?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
For in my mind, I was expecting them to call
all the other girls. I was waiting for the other girls,
you know, other women's names to be called. So I
was a little taken back, to be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
No, no, I meant on your date, on your one on
one when he gave you, when he gave you the rose.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, girl, we had some connection going on there.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I really I love this.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
We both had that kid.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
We looked.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
There was a moment that we both looked in each.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Other's eyes and it was electrifying, and I was like,
oh shit, I'm in trouble.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I think we're gonna Vombit priceless because when we met you,
when we were there, you were in a different place.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
You hadn't had one on one date yet.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I chatty you, and I remember, and you said it
on the show. You talked about chatty women that and
I really I empathized or I see myself in you
as well. First of all high energy, but also you
know women, groups of women to me are like, eh,
they're a little you know, say away, that's how I am.
And when you said you spend time in the in
(14:03):
the firehouse with men, I you know, I tend to
get along with men better than women's for the same
reason like chatty I hate to say chatty Kathy's but
you know you you said it, and I wondered, how
was that? Like?
Speaker 4 (14:17):
It was different, you guys. It wasn't good nor bad,
because there's no good and bad in life.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It's just different. So I'm used to directness. I'm used
to no bullshit with the guys. And then I come
into the yeah, and you know.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
I have twenty five years, you guys, I was with guys.
That's a long time.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
It is.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Yep. No one of the girls told me I needed
to have more feathers, and I'm like, no, I don't.
I don't. I like who I am.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
I liked it, you know, if your life.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I'm honest, I'm direct and I'm no bullshit.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Kind of and I'll take a peg. What my line is.
When men say to me I'm too much, I say
to them, no, no, no, I'm not too much. You're
just not enough for me. You go, And that's that's
truly what I think. So okay, So the drama with Nicole,
by the way, we've renamed we passed.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Wait wait, wait, tell me how you felt what the
pool party going on? Please?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Yeah, you guys, you're gonna laugh. You're gonna laugh so hard,
you to laugh so hard. Right, so you guys know
how hard production is. It is hard. You know, if
all those people out there knew what we went.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Fifteen hours a day, seventeen hours a day of filming.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
You're exhausted. You've got your adrenaline running. There's a whole
other world to this.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
After the rose, the first rose, after we did the
cheerleading competition, and then we come back to do the
pool party, and I'm exhausted, right, So I do my
couple of cannonballs, and then I went took a nap.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I have to use the ladies room. I'll be back
and when they find you and you had your power
nap by that okay.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
But I so Susan, So I missed the entire drama.
So they woke me up. They come on the door
and they're like, they're.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Like, you gotta get up.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
So I'm like this, I'm just I was. I got
out of my mouth, I got the sleep in my eyes,
and I'm like, okay, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
And that was How did the women tell you? Like
she was all over them on the pool like a
clomba tree. I think they said, yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
You know what, you guys, I just don't pay attention
to that stuff. And that's the truth.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I just that's because you're confident. That's because you're confident.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yes for now.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
I wasn't there for woman drama. I was really there
to see if this man.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Is a connection my life right out right. So what
your first impression when you met all the women, and
I'm speaking of Nicole right now, did it change over time? Well?

you have I had Nicole, and I had Cheryl, and
I had Debbie, I had Carl, I had all of
us in there.
Speaker 4 (17:01):

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Who Nicole was at the house was a little bit
different than now who I'm seeing.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Who she is well, and so we are struggling because
our show, we felt was pure. So this whole thing
of monetizing, becoming an influencer, this whole stick that she's
producing even yet now online. How do you feel about
those things that she said about you know, I'm kissing
(17:28):
for America and you know the women on the first season.
How do you feel about that, that whole scenario.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Here's how I feel about it.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I you know what, everybody has motives in life, and
we all have to make a buck. But don't come
on a dating show and take somebody else's spot that's
truly there to find her love.
Speaker 1 (17:46):

an influence, girl, Go do your thing?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Was you took somebody else's spot like me and like
you guys saw on TV?
Speaker 4 (17:58):
I just nice gott.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Did anyone confront her? Did you did anyone confront Nicle
and say, hey, girlfriend, the wrong thing to say about
the women from season one, wrong thing to be here here,
the wrong names. I don't think I'm saying, but did
anyone confront her?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I will when I see her, you know, I will
tell her that was very rude.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
It was what's been said is she was a lot
of fun in the house. She did people's make up
like she was good in the beginning until all that
started coming out.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
We were there because we were the first ones. We
didn't know what influencing was. We were there to fine love.
So now your second season, you people have watched it, right,
so you know what can come of it. Susan and
I did not know we were going to have a podcast.
We did not know where our lives are going to be.
But I want to know if any of the other
(18:49):
women wanted, like told her to chill out. Did anyone
when you gave up one on one where people like, oh,
you won't believe what Nicole said, guess what she did
or so. I mean, you don't have to give names,
but if you want to feel for any.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
You saw Cindy talking about it, and saw you saw
Robin got it.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Yes, And I know, to be honest with me, personally, guys,
I got bored with it. I'm like, I'm going to
take another nap.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
I don't have time for this.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I don't have time for this. My focus is Mail
and that's why I am here. But those guys dove
into it, and I really wish they would have called
gave Mail the.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Name, because I think from season's past that person that
does the telling never ends up good for them. And
I thought she handled it well. I did. She planted
that seat, she said, there's things going on. I'm not
going to be the chatty kathy girl that comes and
tells you all though, somebody you know.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
What you guys, come on, we're sixty year old women,
you know, say hey, look, Nicole's here. Not for the
right reason. This is what I heard. Now what you
do with this information is your business. But I need
to tell you that because I am a woman of
integrity and self respect and self dignity.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
That's how you know.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
What Susan said is true. It never plays well for
the per who who quote unquote rats them out, and
you're it's just so interesting, I have to say, personally,
it is so interesting hearing your take because.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
She could give a shit less.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Well, none of us we didn't care either. I mean,
I was in the stupid drama, but we didn't care
like we knew that that that uh, how quickly we
forget his name is Gary? Gary was not our guy.
But I think that's the right way to play it,
right it is? Uh all right? So this week, you
guys had the final group date before hometowns. How were
(20:33):
you feeling going into this week.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Coming coming and going into our final group date. I'm excited,
you guys.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I'm really excited because I know mel and I have
a connection and I can feel it, and I know
he feels it. You know when we look at each other,
there's that electric kind of a connection between us.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
So you don't focus. I mean, I don't know because
I wasn't there. If he has connections with other women?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
He took the words right out of my mouth. Did
you did you any certain way when he was kissing
Cindy or going somewhere with h.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Honestly, you guys, I just really, honestly, I just focused
on that connection with him and I and I knew
in my heart, deep down in my soul, that we
had something special.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
I felt it. I felt it at our one on
one date.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
So wait, how was it on your one on one
time on the group date? Because we saw it on
the on your one on one, we saw you having
a blast, but when you did, you were in the
mud bath. Tell me, how did that feel, because the
fact that you got to do that on that group
date was pretty amazing.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I thought I loved it. I got we had so
much fun. We did laugh.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
And that's one thing about our connection is it's fun
and it's it's lightheartedness. There's no any of that other stuff.
It's just we're enjoying life. And I told him in
the beginning our heavy lifting, it's over with. We raised
the kids, we've done the career, we've put them through college.
You know, now it's time to really just enjoy each other.

a connection. Were you surprised at who he didn't pick?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
When you for hometowns with the two that left, Yeah,

a journalist, why.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
And Cindy and Debbie were going to be there with you?
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You tell me why? Why were you not? We were
surprised that Eryl didn't stick around.
Speaker 2 (22:44):

you guys, because our one on one day was ten hours,
so I got to spend a lot of time with
him ten hours, So I really it is.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
It's lucky, so I really got to know him.
Speaker 2 (22:56):

I just knew that that connection wasn't strong enough with
Eryl nor Okay.

they don't have the things anymore? The poles or a
pole at yours?

love with you. Wait, it's do you have a pole
at your firehouse?

you guys in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 4 (23:59):

you two of the names are Susan and Cathy, so
think carefully about the third. If you were stuck on
a deserted island and could only take three women from

your season so not us, who would they be?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
It would be Terry, Tracy and Debbie. And why just
because I love them and they're super smart women, and
I think we could, you know, put all our little
intellect together and we would survive.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Each one different than the next one. A humor factor
one would be, she's gonna know how to start a fire?
Oh no, that's you.

your besties from the show?

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Let's get started. There's so much we want to dive into.
Here we go first, we want to get to know
you a little bit better. Where are Let's just start
at the beginning. Where are you from?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Born and raised in Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada, born
and raised.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Okay, wow, I'm coming your way soon.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I know.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Do you win? Do you win on the strip?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Do we even gambled? People from Vegas? Probably don't even
go to the strip, is that right?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I can tell you I've gambled probably five times in
my entire life.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
It's just I have a question. Is it hard to
date in Las Vegas?
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Really hard to date? Really, it's very hard to date here.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
You know why all the men are throwing their money
away on the crafts table. That's what's going on there.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
And they don't live there, they just visit.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
But you have had an incredible career. And my son
was a firefighter, So I love you because thank you
for your service all those years that you were one.
But tell us about your life as a bomb tech.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Well, it was.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Really it was fun because I was on the fire department.
I was hired in nineteen ninety two. I was a
fourth woman hired on, so you can only guys imagine,
and back in nineteen thinety two it was kind of
it was crazy, and you know, they did not want
women on the fire department at all, they just did not.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
And somehow you got in there.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I did, and I stayed because a lot of the
women when they get hired on, they leave about six
months to a year.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
They leave because if you can't handle the heat, get
out of the kitchen. Yes, the guys don't want you there,
they really don't, you know. So I did that for
eight years on the floor. It's called fighting fires.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I was on the ladder truck company, I was lading,
I was on the pumper truck putting the fires out.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I was on the ambulance. And then, to be honest
with you, guys, I got bored.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I got going to say, did you have a favorite
out of those.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
With the bomb? The bomb? When I was a bomb tech.
So I got bored on the floor because the guys,
you know, they love it.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It's a big boys club and they have a lot
of fun and they smoke scars and they play cards
and they do their video games in between all the calls,
and it was really as a boys club. But the
guys were great. I just have to say that. So
I promoted to the Arson Division. So I went through
the fire Academy, and then after that when I was
promoted to the arsen Division, I went through the police
Academy after the base academy. I did that for a
(03:02):
while and then I became a promoted to a bomb tach.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
So I went through the FBI Bomb Academy and Hunter
Emma and Redstone Arsenal.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
So the bomb the bomb. Being a bomb tach, it
was so much fun. I really really enjoyed that. The
guys were great. What I did for a living was great.
I felt like I was the main character in the
spy novel.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, did you actually get called to a scene and
have to.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
No, Susan. She sat around played video games.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
You know, you just learned it. But how many bomb
threats are there? And you have to go dissect the bomb?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Like?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
What when we roll up on scene. We have our trucks,
we have our equipment. Nobody knows we're coming because it's
the entertainment capital of the world.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
So we slither in and we slither out.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yes, there we have a pipe bomb or we have
an unknown device. We midgate the situation and then we get.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
The hell out of there, right right, right, right?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Boy?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Okay, tell me how did you know? Did you watch
The Bachelor? I mean, were you a fan of Bachelor?
How did you get to on the Golden Bachelor?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
You saw watch Kristen's and Ryan's season? That was it?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Okay, so tell us how you got here.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
So my girlfriend Alana, my best friend from high school.
She has never missed a season.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
And as soon as they advertised at what you guys
three years ago two and a half years ago, I
think it was he called me right away and she
just said, you, I'm signing you up.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
You got to do this. I have to do this.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I'm like, there is no way I'm putting myself on
national television. There is no way I Am not going
to do it. But she just kept on me and
on me and on me.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
So I went ahead. She had started the process. I
finished it.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I'm guessing your friends and family supported you. How did
you prepare to go on this, you know, what were
you hoping for? What were your expectations going on the show.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Well, when they announced Mail on a Wednesday, I think
it was in April they announced him, I'm like, oh, okay,
he's kind of good looking, you know, and I'm thinking.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Of my brain and I'm like, I don't know if
I want to do this. But then my daughter's like, Mom.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
What else are you doing? You have nothing else going
on in your life. I'm tired of calling me ten
times a day.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
So so, so I'm date. You weren't dating? I take
it prior No, I know.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
What you guys. I go on a date here, I
go out and date there.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Well, I'm glad you do.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Okay, what did it feel like? Well, now you're there,
you're there, okay, getting out of that limo for the
first time, What were you thinking? What were you feeling?
Because we know you as being like us.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
You know, energy, vivacious, Like, what was it when you
stood out and you had to talk to him for
the first time? Tell us about those.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
First I had the bomb suit on. The bomb didn't
go off, you tried, so then we just did what
we needed to do.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I got dressed and honestly, I can't remember two words
I said to you.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
But how about the women? When you walked into the house.

whole entire experience.

Three minutest at the three minutes? It was three minutes? Yeah.
And I asked him, I said, what are you looking for?

you feeling when you found out it would be you?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Well, I was excited because you know, I did not

happy with that podcast. And you can ask my daughter.
I was like, you know, I was not happy. I'm like,
I dated those guys. I don't want to date those.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Narcissistic, egotistical asses. Anymore.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I've been there, done that, so I really kind of
I paused, and I knew I was going to get
some alone time with him.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
And when I did.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
At the OC Fair, we were eating our turkey legs
and we were, you know, drinking our beer and stuff.
And then we had a break and I went to him.
I said, look, I need to ask you something.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I said.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I'm glad that you apologize to all the women. I
get that, I said, but I need to know who
you are. And I told him this, I said, if
you are that guy on that podcast. I looked him
direct in the eye. I said, I don't want to
date you. I don't want to date you. I and
don't waste.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
My time, and I don't want to waste your time.
And I'm sitting here like.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
A little chihuahuah because I'm like, I'm not going to
open up my heart. I've dated these guys before and
all they do is rip your heart out and they
leave you bleeding everywhere.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Watching your date with Mel, he like, I said, the
three of us, you know, we leave no prisoners. He
looked like he was just watching you have a great time.
Like your energy you could see that he was like Wow,

The whole thing?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
You guys?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
After I got an apology from him personally and we
talked about it a little bit, I realized he's not
the guy that everybody's perceiving him to be.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
And I suspend judgment because.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I really wanted to know who was inside. Yeah he's tall,
good looking, all that great stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
But are you right for me? Can you get into
mind life?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You know?
Speaker 4 (10:01):
And I just I let down my guards and I
just really started to have a good time. I have
a lot of energy, you guys, and I annoy the
shit out of a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Raise your that's three of us, we said, we're from
the same mold.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Did the three of us? We both just all we
raised our hands in unison.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I mean, wait, I have a question. You were so
full of energy and I loved you. Knew every words
of the song. And I was shocked to see Kacy
didn't even look like Casey. But was his energy matching yours?
I did not see it? Well, yes, oh hell, you know?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
And I believe because you know, getting to know him
and you know he's nervous, he's a human being.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
You guys, just like we are. And he was nervous
as much as we were nervous.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
He's got this, you know, this little jumping bean, this
little Tasmanian devil, and he's just.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Like, what do I do with this?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Right?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
He loved you being you, but you didn't seem nervous.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I was not nervous. I went in there, you guys,
and I just I wanted to be you.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Be me, You love me, you hate me? I am
who I am.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Can I just say this has not worked well for me?
I mean I say the exact same things said. I'm
just putting that out there. I am who I am.
And it's like, take me or leap me. The problem
is they mostly leave me, but moving back to you
the way.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
When somebody falls in love with you, they're going to
fall in love with your authentic self.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
It's not that it's not the representative. I don't want
to fall in love with anybody's representative.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Oh absolutely, That's why I have to be on me
y to be real.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Kathy, keep being you. Somebody will come along.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Thank you, peg, and you're going to make sure it happens.
How did it feel opened up to me about your divorce.
Was that hard?
Speaker 4 (11:45):
No, it wasn't hard.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
His wife stepped out on the marriage and my ex
husband stepped out on the marriage. So we have that
commonality and that hurt in that grief, and we understood
each other.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
But the best was the tattoo. Yeah, saying about that,
do you have any more?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Can we say it?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
We can do that in the fantasy.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Can we see your tattoo? Can we see it? Where
is it?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
I am stamp. You guys had an affair, right, and
I got a tattoo?
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Kill me whatever, There's nothing wrong with it. But I
love how you said, and I'll show you.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Wait.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Don't you have a tattoo on your wrist with your
daughter or something?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
That's my piscy girl right there.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
You know I'm a piscey girl, are you?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Yes, I'm a cancer So cancers and pisces are like that.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Here I am left on the colt again. Kathy's gone again.
What do you think I am?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
I don't the ball my sister we get along as
well too. You're just stubborn.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I am not stubborn. No, I really am not. I'm
not getting wrong. I'm strong willed I'm not stubborn.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
It's a better word.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I'm not. But okay, so well wait wait.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Did you think you did you even think about the
possibility of getting that date rose that night? Or was
that furthest thing for your mind from you?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
For in my mind, I was expecting them to call
all the other girls. I was waiting for the other girls,
you know, other women's names to be called. So I
was a little taken back, to be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
No, no, I meant on your date, on your one on
one when he gave you, when he gave you the rose.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, girl, we had some connection going on there.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I really I love this.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
We both had that kid.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
We looked.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
There was a moment that we both looked in each.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Other's eyes and it was electrifying, and I was like,
oh shit, I'm in trouble.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I think we're gonna Vombit priceless because when we met you,
when we were there, you were in a different place.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
You hadn't had one on one date yet.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I chatty you, and I remember, and you said it
on the show. You talked about chatty women that and
I really I empathized or I see myself in you
as well. First of all high energy, but also you
know women, groups of women to me are like, eh,
they're a little you know, say away, that's how I am.
And when you said you spend time in the in
(14:03):
the firehouse with men, I you know, I tend to
get along with men better than women's for the same
reason like chatty I hate to say chatty Kathy's but
you know you you said it, and I wondered, how
was that? Like?
Speaker 4 (14:17):
It was different, you guys. It wasn't good nor bad,
because there's no good and bad in life.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It's just different. So I'm used to directness. I'm used
to no bullshit with the guys. And then I come
into the yeah, and you know.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
I have twenty five years, you guys, I was with guys.
That's a long time.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
It is.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Yep. No one of the girls told me I needed
to have more feathers, and I'm like, no, I don't.
I don't. I like who I am.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
I liked it, you know, if your life.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I'm honest, I'm direct and I'm no bullshit.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Kind of and I'll take a peg. What my line is.
When men say to me I'm too much, I say
to them, no, no, no, I'm not too much. You're
just not enough for me. You go, And that's that's
truly what I think. So okay, So the drama with Nicole,
by the way, we've renamed we passed.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Wait wait, wait, tell me how you felt what the
pool party going on? Please?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Yeah, you guys, you're gonna laugh. You're gonna laugh so hard,
you to laugh so hard. Right, so you guys know
how hard production is. It is hard. You know, if
all those people out there knew what we went.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Fifteen hours a day, seventeen hours a day of filming.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
You're exhausted. You've got your adrenaline running. There's a whole
other world to this.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
After the rose, the first rose, after we did the
cheerleading competition, and then we come back to do the
pool party, and I'm exhausted, right, So I do my
couple of cannonballs, and then I went took a nap.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I have to use the ladies room. I'll be back
and when they find you and you had your power
nap by that okay.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
But I so Susan, So I missed the entire drama.
So they woke me up. They come on the door
and they're like, they're.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Like, you gotta get up.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
So I'm like this, I'm just I was. I got
out of my mouth, I got the sleep in my eyes,
and I'm like, okay, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
And that was How did the women tell you? Like
she was all over them on the pool like a
clomba tree. I think they said, yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
You know what, you guys, I just don't pay attention
to that stuff. And that's the truth.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I just that's because you're confident. That's because you're confident.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yes for now.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
I wasn't there for woman drama. I was really there
to see if this man.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Is a connection my life right out right. So what
your first impression when you met all the women, and
I'm speaking of Nicole right now, did it change over time? Well?
Speaker 4 (16:39):
I have the closet, I had the big room, and
Nicole was in the room.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Yeah, I've heard.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
So I want to have a podcast that says inside
the closet.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
In the big room, I was going to say, or
words from the big closet.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, So you really get to know these women once
you have I had Nicole, and I had Cheryl, and
I had Debbie, I had Carl, I had all of
us in there.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
S So let me just put it this way.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Who Nicole was at the house was a little bit
different than now who I'm seeing.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Who she is well, and so we are struggling because
our show, we felt was pure. So this whole thing
of monetizing, becoming an influencer, this whole stick that she's
producing even yet now online. How do you feel about
those things that she said about you know, I'm kissing
(17:28):
for America and you know the women on the first season.
How do you feel about that, that whole scenario.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Here's how I feel about it.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I you know what, everybody has motives in life, and
we all have to make a buck. But don't come
on a dating show and take somebody else's spot that's
truly there to find her love.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Oh my god, we love you, Pet.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
That's perfect, Welson.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
I have a problem. She wants to go and be
an influence, girl, Go do your thing?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Was you took somebody else's spot like me and like
you guys saw on TV?
Speaker 4 (17:58):
I just nice gott.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Did anyone confront her? Did you did anyone confront Nicle
and say, hey, girlfriend, the wrong thing to say about
the women from season one, wrong thing to be here here,
the wrong names. I don't think I'm saying, but did
anyone confront her?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I will when I see her, you know, I will
tell her that was very rude.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
It was what's been said is she was a lot
of fun in the house. She did people's make up
like she was good in the beginning until all that
started coming out.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
We were there because we were the first ones. We
didn't know what influencing was. We were there to fine love.
So now your second season, you people have watched it, right,
so you know what can come of it. Susan and
I did not know we were going to have a podcast.
We did not know where our lives are going to be.
But I want to know if any of the other
(18:49):
women wanted, like told her to chill out. Did anyone
when you gave up one on one where people like, oh,
you won't believe what Nicole said, guess what she did
or so. I mean, you don't have to give names,
but if you want to feel for any.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
You saw Cindy talking about it, and saw you saw
Robin got it.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Yes, And I know, to be honest with me, personally, guys,
I got bored with it. I'm like, I'm going to
take another nap.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
I don't have time for this.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I don't have time for this. My focus is Mail
and that's why I am here. But those guys dove
into it, and I really wish they would have called
gave Mail the.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Name, because I think from season's past that person that
does the telling never ends up good for them. And
I thought she handled it well. I did. She planted
that seat, she said, there's things going on. I'm not
going to be the chatty kathy girl that comes and
tells you all though, somebody you know.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
What you guys, come on, we're sixty year old women,
you know, say hey, look, Nicole's here. Not for the
right reason. This is what I heard. Now what you
do with this information is your business. But I need
to tell you that because I am a woman of
integrity and self respect and self dignity.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
That's how you know.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
What Susan said is true. It never plays well for
the per who who quote unquote rats them out, and
you're it's just so interesting, I have to say, personally,
it is so interesting hearing your take because.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
She could give a shit less.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Well, none of us we didn't care either. I mean,
I was in the stupid drama, but we didn't care
like we knew that that that uh, how quickly we
forget his name is Gary? Gary was not our guy.
But I think that's the right way to play it,
right it is? Uh all right? So this week, you
guys had the final group date before hometowns. How were
(20:33):
you feeling going into this week.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Coming coming and going into our final group date. I'm excited,
you guys.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I'm really excited because I know mel and I have
a connection and I can feel it, and I know
he feels it. You know when we look at each other,
there's that electric kind of a connection between us.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
So you don't focus. I mean, I don't know because
I wasn't there. If he has connections with other women?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
He took the words right out of my mouth. Did
you did you any certain way when he was kissing
Cindy or going somewhere with h.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Honestly, you guys, I just really, honestly, I just focused
on that connection with him and I and I knew
in my heart, deep down in my soul, that we
had something special.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
I felt it. I felt it at our one on
one date.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
So wait, how was it on your one on one
time on the group date? Because we saw it on
the on your one on one, we saw you having
a blast, but when you did, you were in the
mud bath. Tell me, how did that feel, because the
fact that you got to do that on that group
date was pretty amazing.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I thought I loved it. I got we had so
much fun. We did laugh.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
And that's one thing about our connection is it's fun
and it's it's lightheartedness. There's no any of that other stuff.
It's just we're enjoying life. And I told him in
the beginning our heavy lifting, it's over with. We raised
the kids, we've done the career, we've put them through college.
You know, now it's time to really just enjoy each other.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
And enjoy life.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
And now kids, you have PEG one twenty eight Dakota,
and I love that.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
You made me cry. She got all teared up when
the when the kids were oh I.
Speaker 1 (22:06):

that you got to see your kid on the show. Yeah,
we didn't get that. Uh so tell us about your hometown.
What's it going to mean to you? Tell us?
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Oh wait, when he did you, well, obviously you felt
a connection. Were you surprised at who he didn't pick?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
When you for hometowns with the two that left, Yeah,
you were not surprised. Well, and the next question as
a journalist, why.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
And Cindy and Debbie were going to be there with you?
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You tell me why? Why were you not? We were
surprised that Eryl didn't stick around.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I just getting to know Mail a little a lot,
you guys, because our one on one day was ten hours,
so I got to spend a lot of time with
him ten hours, So I really it is.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
It's lucky, so I really got to know him.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
And when I know, when you get to know somebody,
I just knew that that connection wasn't strong enough with
Eryl nor Okay.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Pool, Okay, we're getting a little short on time. Come on,
tease us. Tell us about your hometown date. What's it
going to be like?

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Of course, he doesn't touch a bomb, does he?
Speaker 4 (23:21):
No? No, he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Wait does your firehouse have the have you know how
they don't have the things anymore? The poles or a
pole at yours?
Speaker 4 (23:29):
You can touch this bomb?

love with you. Wait, it's do you have a pole
at your firehouse?
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Have a pole?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
So I used to joke all the time and people say,
what'd you do for a career? You know, I'm like,
why I danced?
Speaker 4 (23:48):
You know? I had?
Speaker 1 (23:48):

you guys in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 4 (23:59):

think carefully about the third. If you were stuck on
a deserted island and could only take three women from
(24:39):
your season so not us, who would they be?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
It would be Terry, Tracy and Debbie. And why just
because I love them and they're super smart women, and
I think we could, you know, put all our little
intellect together and we would survive.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Each one different than the next one. A humor factor
one would be, she's gonna know how to start a fire?
Oh no, that's you.
Speaker 1 (25:06):

your besties from the show?
