How long have you been divorced? I can't remember.

Speaker 5 (02:58):
Well, it's been ten years, sadly or goodly and it
was the best of it happened because you know, life

a thirty two years of long marriage, raised two incredible
children and found myself divorced. And I have an East

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Okay, so wait, so what's day? What was dating like
before you went on the show.

It was really challenging because I live in a very
you know, bedroom community. Everyone's coupled. Yeah no, I mean
if you I live like an hour and a half
from San Francisco. So if you did find how's that wine?

Speaker 3 (03:45):

love that we're having a drink of wine.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
That's great.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
It's only one o'clock in California, but I'm sure it's
later wherever your lates are.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Uh, you know what time is just age is just
a number and time is just number. Robins That No,
it was no dating.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
I mean I would try and then they would be,
you know, one hundred miles away, and I'm like, Okay,
that's not going to work because I live in a
very established bedroom community. A lot of people are have
second homes and it's just a lovely community, but it's
not a dating community.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Well, how did you get on the show?

Speaker 4 (04:19):
That what made you go on the show.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
So it's interesting because I have always loved vachclination, and
I watched Golden and I was obsessed. Oh my goodness,
late days.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Ah, you should have reached that to us.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
I loved it. I literally listen. I have a tape
every I come home from work and I'd sit with
my whatever I was eating, and I would just watch.
I could repeat what you said. I watch. I loved it,
and I thought to myself, you know what, it was
October and I thought, I'm going to do it. I'm
going to just and I mean, I have my two kids,

(04:51):
which is great. I love my chiln to death. I'm
grandson and go.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
To the law.

Speaker 5 (04:54):
But I don't have that person. I want that person.
I want to tell them what I did at night.
I want to tell them what I I want to
tell them what I didn't do. I want to tell
them my exercise routine. I don't have anybody. I have nobody.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah no, we didn't.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Either for the longest time.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Well, excuse me, I still don't, Susan does.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
But women stop bragging. Stop it.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
So wait, I don't know how old your kids are,
but how did they adjust to you going on the show.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
They will did you just apply?

Speaker 5 (05:22):
How did you he s doockingly. I mean, I got
all the stories of how women get on this show,
and I was like, knew no one, knew no one
and knew nothing. Let's just go for one oh one.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Just an application, right, this one oh one?

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Girlfriend Saba, And I'm not tech savvy, so nine times
I deleted everything and redid it and got another glass
of wine. I went through bottles of wine to get
this application.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
And what did your kids say? How old are your kids?

Speaker 5 (05:47):
By the way, so I have a twenty seven and
twenty nine? Okay, And when my daughter and son were
very excited, they were a little concerned, like, mom, please
don't kiss him, don't like, don't like. I mean really,
I'm like, and Lindsay might okay, well Lindsay and Nathan Lindsay,
my girl, it's like, oh my god, Like when I
found out, We're like jumping up and down. Oh my god,
I can't believe it.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
I can't believe in.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
Nanna's like, oh okay.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
I have to interrupt for one second. God, what I'm
seeing right now within the last what is it, two
or three minutes now is not what I saw an
episode one or two.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yet it's hard what happened.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
I was didn't know.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
You gotta be you, Susan. You said exactly what I
was thinking. I was waiting for Robin to finish. And Robin,
I'm gonna tell you, finding love, whether it's on television,
whether it's in your backyard, whether it's at a winery,
you've got to be you because if the guy is
gonna fall in love with you and you're gonna fall
in love with him, you both have to be who

(06:51):
you are.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
Otherwise it's was it nerves?

Speaker 5 (06:53):
Probably no. I think what I did was I was
I was looking at the global structure here right, I'm
looking at like how does this all work? Which is
fine in my career, but and it's.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Just gonna say, it's not the vineyard.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
You're looking at situation like this.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
You have seconds, you have minutes.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
So how was it getting out of the limo? Let's
start with that.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
I cannot tell you. I mean, you know, ladies, you
did this. So the mouss energy, angst, anxiety, rehearsal, all
that stuff. I get a limo. There's this gorgeous women
in the limit all oh my goodness, gracious, and I'm
just trying to rehearse my lines looking on it one.
I want to get to him, don't want to trip,
give him my wine because I'm the one lady right,

(07:39):
Please don't fall, don't fall same thing, same him as
nineteen different cobblet stones.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
I can't fall, right.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
So I get there, and personally he's adorable. He's just
he's my type. I mean, physically, just a lot.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Let's get down to work.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
When you laid eyes on him, what was your first thought?

Speaker 5 (08:01):
So much NiFe. I mean, he's just like so it's
hard to find. It's hard to find anyone, especially at
this stage in life when we're all you know, we've
all eclipsed, we all changed our body ties for fragers.
He is totally my type. So I was like, oh, yeah,
this is gonna be good. So I walked out and
I was very excited, very excited. And so that's the answer.
I was excited. I couldn't wait to see him. He's

(08:23):
so welcoming, he was so kind, he was so he
was just he made you feel at easier. I took
everyone's hand. It was so nice. And then I walked
into the mansion and I literally exploited. I let out
a scream like, we're here, Okay, the last six months
of anxiety?

Speaker 1 (08:42):
How did you prepare?

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Were you out looking at it clothes?

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Like what do I wear?

Speaker 5 (08:46):
How? I'm telling you every single thing I took out
of my suitcase had a time on.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Oh hello, Susan.

Speaker 5 (08:56):
I put lots of friends and they're like, oh yeah,
you can't wait that a camera that I'm like, I
can't do this, and I'm like a really busy professional woman,
so for me to take hours of time.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Listen, I am not a busy professional woman and I
hate shopping.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
So I'm right that way there.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
Okay, So I want to be like Bewitched or like
I dream a genie.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
Like really, I just want someone to.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
She blinked as.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Well. Was there any woman or maybe a few of
them that you gravitated too?

Speaker 5 (09:26):
Okay? So we walk you guys know this. I love
talking about this. So you walk in, of course, this
big mansion and you're there and I literally really sat
next to Cindy what are the chances? And this gorgeous
blue gown, I mean, her gown was just I was like,
I have a woman who made it. I'mting gowns made
from this woman. And we just sat and talked for
one time. There was a lot of chatter, as you
will know, and at like four th in the morning,

(09:47):
they time you don't white tasting. I'm like, I never
want to tasted it. Fourth thing the money, but I'm
up for it. I'm up for it, So we want
to taste it, and I Cindy and then of course
my roommates for it. You know, you align with people
that you spend time with.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Who was in your room?

Speaker 2 (10:01):
What room were you in?

Speaker 5 (10:02):
I was in the smallest room, the room that had
no closets, we called the two step room. Two steps
to Carrol's room, two steps in the bathroom, two steps
to Robinson. So is Jerry Amy Carroll. And then Cindy
was our mascot. She didn't belong to us, and then
she belonged to us for a long She's just ours
now we've got.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Isn't it funny? How quickly or are you telling me?
I mean, in our season we forged friendships so quickly,
and Susan and I both knew that Gary wasn't a
nice guy, but not our guy. And I don't know
how that was for you. Did you feel like mel
could be your guy or were you were involved in
the friendships.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
You know what, there are so many elements. We have
a lot of history, a lot of backstory which you
might or might not be familiar with. But we have
a lot of commonalities on our divorce. He worked for
Marylynch for a few years. I mean, we have a lot.
We're both in California, both professional, we both we have kids.
We adore kids. Both our kids are professionals athletes. He's
kids are in baseball. So I had such high hopes.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
I think I think Susan, because Susan, I think what
Robin is telling us that she can't admit to is
she's engaged to.

Speaker 5 (11:15):
But you have to watch every episode before you Oh
we are, we are.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
But I'm just saying you sound like somebody it great connection,
all right.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
I gotta fast forward to the night that we were there.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
This episode I.

Speaker 5 (11:31):
Forgot you guys. Wasn't that fun when they said so
we all were into the door, open the door, like
we exploded. You guys. I mean not that everyone's not
my favorite, but you were my favorite. And I want
to say that the chosen children here.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Well, can I tell you we were so exciting, excited,
We were so excited coming in and they were as Susan,
I pulled up and you know, they had us waiting
to come in. It would take I'm telling they were
taking some photos and somebody saying to me, Kathy, back up,
back because we're trying to film something, back or photograph

(12:07):
or whatever.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
Back up.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
We have our hands, all our gift bags for you,
all which which we'll get to. And then we uh,
they said, back up, and I took one step too
far and literally fell into the bushes, legs up. Could
not stop laughing. Good just it was just like I
don't know if you saw me on Paradise on the

(12:30):
camping trip.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
When I went to fell it was exactly the same thing.
Could not stop laughing.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
So we got to get our composure together, get the
bags back together, get to the door, Get to the door.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
It was so exciting for us to meet you guys
and see the excitement around your guys journey to find
love and the friendships. I mean, first Susan than me
just coming home again, you know, and that's why we
love Yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
Yeah, I met you.

Speaker 5 (13:08):
Was like when we saw you were so excited because
we had no idea. They were like okay, like someone's
at the door, like, you know, you know nothing, you
know nothing. It's it's it's it's it's a land of nothing.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Was it just quiet time?

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Let's be clear, we came to the slumber party. For
anyone who isn't up on this or has missed an episode.
He was on a one on one. Mel was on
a one on one with Debbie and you know, let's
be honest here. When the guy the lead is on
a date with someone, you can say anything you want.

(13:43):
The rest of us are sitting around going, yeah, I
hope having a good time.

Speaker 5 (13:46):
Not yeah, I hope not, I hope they.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
So, okay, So we want to talk about the the
roast Oh my god, the roastwood Jared Frey, what was
your expa?

Speaker 4 (14:03):
I love you? Upset?

Speaker 5 (14:04):
Okay, So I don't know if you sant to say,
but I'll tell you something. This was my okay, you
know what you think about like you got ladies went
too this process. So you know, this honestly was my
biggest fear. And I don't have a lot of fears
in life, but this is a fear because it was
a spot that a performance which I like to perform,
but I need to be prepared right. It was like
the cheer winning you want, you have forty five minutes

(14:26):
to get Oh, we know, and you know, and you're
on the bus and it'll tell you a thing and
you get here and you're like, good old embassador roast.
I'm like, are you kid, No, it'll not be that'll not.
So it was hard for me.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
But the way it was hard, you did a great job.
But I want to know because I'm going to be
honest here. I I'm a I'm like you, Robin. I'm
very outgoing, I'm very gregarious. But I did not really
like the group dates because I'm not Even though I'm outgoing,
I wasn't going to fight to get in his face.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
What was your feeling on the group dates? Tell me
how you felt?

Speaker 5 (15:05):
So okay? So I didn't, let's see asad a question.
I realized that my level of expertise in roasting someone
was going to be a little bit more challenging and
I didn't have that knowledge base. So I actually liked
the group dates to the point that we were a
group and we competed together, but we weren't competing together
at that stage. We were competing visually. Yeah, And it

(15:29):
was definitely more of and I remember thinking to myself, Okay,
I really got to kill it here, because obviously everybody
wants the one on one, they want the after So
it was unlike the cheerleading, which we were a team.
We didn't have that, so it was it was harder.
And I think that's one of the elements. By the way,
I wore your favorite air rings. I wore your your
favorite airrings.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
So so so to your point, it was individual and
Nicole wins the one on one date.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
How did you feel about your face expression?

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Because I want to note did you feel like Terry
and Cindy about the pull activity and the cold being
so forward and sucking his tongue out of his mouth constantly?
Then she wins. What were your thoughts?

Speaker 5 (16:16):
I do think a lot of us felt, and not
only speaking myself, but it was kind of a common scene.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
We could tell that she won for that.

Speaker 5 (16:25):
So what I think happened in life, we all did
our best and we literally came out of our comfort zones.
I mean, you know you later see what you did.
It was not easy comfortable. You do things that are
not in your wheelhouse and the things that are going
to be challenging for you. We all rose to the occasion.
We get it. If you look at some of the
actual skits, the actual skits, there were some phenomenal skits.

(16:48):
Not that Nicholes was not great, but was the best.
Maybe it was the best from out.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Or maybe meant to think of mister Friedman there, or
maybe maybe Mel, let's just cut it down to what
it is. Maybe Mel looked at Nicole and thought, you
know what, I like the way she kisses me, and
now I'm gonna have a one on one to see
if it's real. I mean, that is that's possible.

Speaker 5 (17:16):
But you know what, honestly, I think that's valuable because
this man has to decide retweet unbelievable women like we're phnomenal,
you are crazy, great women, so I think, and people
would be like, oh, she's got one on one like
but maybe that's good because then he can decide, well,
that's is my person, Oh that's.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
Not my right. Did you exactly, Robin, did you mind
him making out with her in the pool, or to
be grammatically correct, did you mind her making out with
him for the pool, or as Cindy said, did you
mind her climbing him like.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
The line I think the priceless statement.

Speaker 5 (17:54):
So here's where I think everybody approaches love differently. This
is not how I approach a lot.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
This is not what I do.

Speaker 5 (17:59):
This would not be my wheelhouse. So right, everybody does
it differently. That would not be anything I would ever
be comfortable with me.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Okay, fair enough.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
Did you happen to say anything to Nicole about her actions?

Speaker 5 (18:12):
We did have a cute conversations after that, and she
was like, no, you know. But here's the bottom line.
I think I've thought about this a lot. I think
that everyone uses they lead with what they have, Yes,
like I lead with different things that Nicole leads with.

Speaker 4 (18:26):
Yes, wait, you tell me Nicole has good lips? What
do you say, would really greatly?

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Left?

Speaker 5 (18:32):
Really good? You know?

Speaker 4 (18:33):
No, you're right, I lead with humor. I think that's
really wise.

Speaker 5 (18:37):
I meanelligently with a lot of things.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
I don't lead Robert, what you lead with is a
good bottle of wine.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
Oh maybe you don't even know.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Okay, I want to know. So nine left, how did
you feel, like, how did it feel for you to
see so many of those great women go and and
were you shocked by any of the eliminations it was.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
So sad because the mind Terry left, Terry left, Amy
left my roommate, and I was just like, I was
so grateful, thank you Lord, because I know, if you
look at the dynamics of our relations the time Mu's there,
there's so much there. I mean, there's so many things.
So I was like, okay, And when I got to
the nine, I came downstairs that morning, I'm like, I

(19:20):
was like, hooting howering, we're in single digits. Were good
because that's.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
A big deal, right, It is a big deal. It
is so it gets harder each week too, And it
gets harder each week because you know, you got to
be packed and ready to say goodbye and we don't
know what's going to happen. And I feel badly that
one of the things I've always said to to everyone
in Bachelor, when you do these shows, couldn't especially for

(19:50):
the seniors, the group dates be a little smaller and
more intimate, that you can have conversation and get to
know someone rather than ten people. He you know, just
doing just doing this.

Speaker 5 (20:02):
He's like, oh, okay, I have some guy. Okay, Okay,
you live in Austin, Okay.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
I mean, and you got to try to remember.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Well, here's the thing. If you're really smart, you find
a way. And I wasn't good at it, but but
I think you find a way to make that connection
with him that he wants to know more.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
Yes, well yes, Now, looking at the first episode and everything,
I realized people dug very deep. So I came out
with the bottle line. And if you look at the
first episode, there are people that really dug deep and said, okay,
but what do you want? How am my kids? And
what's your life look like? And what do you want?
I'm like, so what's for?

Speaker 1 (20:42):
I had of the line you like, but you know what,
but that's who you are, that's you're there, and.

Speaker 5 (20:48):
You're it's like but it's kind of get deep and
you and you like, do you know that you did
this journey? It stands, it's minutes, it's this, it's a snap.

Speaker 3 (21:00):

Speaker 1 (22:18):
We do you ever say to someone, Robin, oh, your

We never say that. Don't say oh my hair is
thick and long. Thank you.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
Peo is just.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
And it's like about when people when you wear something,
people say, oh, you could pull that off.

Speaker 5 (22:37):
Because you're hell. Does that mean okay, I can strike
that strike? Thank you, strike lady, get the strike man and.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Susan for you. If a guy says to me you
can pull that off, he means something else.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
All right.

Speaker 5 (22:49):
Yeah, But the answer is I do understand people that
have you know, everybody has their thing. I mean like
everybody just whatever they do.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
All right. So, Robin, we got to ask you. You know,
we've we've bulleted you with questions.

Speaker 5 (23:02):
Here, yes you have, okay, and take a sip.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Stop a hey, sorry for you.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
We got to stay in French for Susan for her guy.

Speaker 5 (23:18):
Oh my god, I want to hear about that man, Robin.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
We've asked you tons of questions. You got anything you
want to ask us?

Speaker 5 (23:33):
I want to know so many things about your ways. First,
so how was bachelor and parties?

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Oh my god, I can answer this in like thirty seconds.
I had the time of my life. And I'll tell
you why. I knew I'm great friends with Keith. I
knew there was no love connection I loved being with
those young and I felt like they wanted us there,
They wanted our wisdom, our advice, And I mean, how

(23:59):
much fun is it when someone cooking meal screen you
don't have to make your own bed. There you go
thirty seconds.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
Loved it?

Speaker 5 (24:04):
Okay, So let me ask you another questions. So now
you're off the show, and now you have a whole
world ahead of you.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, how does that look?

Speaker 5 (24:11):
Because everyone's like this is going to change your world?
What does that look like?

Speaker 1 (24:15):
I can for me?

Speaker 4 (24:17):
My world has.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
I've gotten to do so many wonderful things through Bachelor
and in this podcast is right at the top of
the heap. And I'm so grateful for every experience. But
I will tell you, Robin, I am the same woman
I was before I went on the show in that
I love my family. I go to California and I
do some fun things. I come back and vacuum my rugs.

(24:39):
You know, I'm I'm I am grateful for every experience
I've had, But I'm just like you. I'm looking for
that person to wake up next to and say I'm
so glad I found you. So I'm not different from
you or anyone else.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
But What I think they mean, Robin when they say
this to you, is you're going to be more recognized.
Everywhere you go, people are going to know who you are.
And you're stopped and Kathy and ized message coming off
the show is it's never too late. It's never too
late to find love. It's never too late. The world
is full of opportunities. It's not over at sixty.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
It might be the last chapter, but it's the best chapter.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
And we're both hoping.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
So we've got that carved in stone. It is our
last chapter. It's going to be my and is my
best chapter. I am grateful for every wonderful experience.

Speaker 5 (25:29):
So I focus on women. So since I've been divorced,
I focused on women. So I'm a big wealth advisor,
you know whatever, Finyard wealth advisor.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
And I really I have to interrupt you can you
make my ten million into one hundred million?

Speaker 4 (25:41):
And oh, let's give it a month?

Speaker 5 (25:43):
How many years?

Speaker 4 (25:44):
I said a month? A month, Robin, a month?

Speaker 5 (25:48):
But you got ten million. That's a pretty good start.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
And you have been recognized.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Have you been recognized yet?

Speaker 5 (25:54):
Like, well, that's the first of you later so I
now she goes on without makeup, I.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Mean you liked. Yeah, yes, you got to see the
pictures of me they take.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
Can we do a cell failm in Walmart at nine
o'clock at night in sweatpants, my hair stuck up in there.
I don't care.

Speaker 5 (26:10):
You don't care for I don't know. I have a
new platform. And one of the things I will tell
you in ending this is I I did a tremendous
amount of counseling when I was there, so our room
was matter of fact, Cindy worked by me. So Robers
Mama's doing counseling again. I counseled everybody. I sat with
all the young people, and I'm like this, So I
did finance. I mean, whine is a great fun experience
and we all love when talking about it. But what

(26:32):
we're the wheelhouse on my life is is just helping
you financially. Okay, that's for And now since I've been divorced,
I really focus on women because I know that women
do not have normally don't have the wherewithal or the
impetus or the knowledge or just the theory to go.
They leave it to someone else. So when I sat
with all the people, and I did a lot of counseling.
So I left this with really even more knowing that

(26:56):
my gift to life is to help people. You're out
where they're going, and I just want to give knowledge
right now. That's why I asked you what your platform was.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
It's be more with me than error. Okay, So Robin,
you and I are going to go on the road
together because I will tell you, I am a smart girl,
and I thought I knew about all our finances and
all that, and when my husband died suddenly, I very

(27:25):
quickly realized no, I didn't know. And so one of
the things that I that I've talked about is women
needing to understand to be more financially literate. So, yay,
you you need to do more of that. I'll go
on the road with you and talk about it. But

(27:45):
the other thing that Susan and I are platform for
everyone listening is.

Speaker 4 (27:55):
Get up.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
Life does not come to your front door. Get out there, live.
You have one life to live, enjoy it, make things happen.
You are the master of your own destiny. And we
love the fact that people will come up to us
and say, you've given me hope, You've given me the
you've inspired me to get up and live in the world.

Speaker 4 (28:18):
Yeah, so changed.

Speaker 5 (28:21):
And I'll wrap that up by saying two things. I've
run a financial literacy class for people in high schools. Yes,
high school please please take me on there with you.
This is all I want to do in life, So
finders of literacy. People know you learned nine percent of
everything you do by your parents. Yes, I work with
the community with a lot of different you know, levels
of education and knowledge and wealth. So that's what they're

(28:43):
gonna do. The other thing I do. Always realized when
I was on the show and I'd say it and
I won here. But when I was on the show
and you asked me about my roast at the end
of it, I said, and this is what my platform was.
I started realizing why I was on the show. Initially,
all the compts that I did was you just except
what we said. My dear, you need to encourage people
that it's never too late. It's never too old, you

(29:03):
never too young. You don't matter what you look into.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
Do it, just do it.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Do it because none of us want I should speak
for myself, but I think I speak for many of us.
We don't want to be you know, one day from
leaving this earth with regrets of I wish I had
tried this. I wish I had done that. The worst
that can happen is you fail. And you know what,
we are old enough to know if you fail, So

(29:29):
what you pick yourself back up and you put a
smile on your face and you give it another try.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
And and that is my biggest message. And Susan your YouTube.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Absolutely Robin, I want to ask you, what did you
learn about yourself coming off the show?

Speaker 5 (29:45):
I need to do my comment, sorry, I need to
know the fact that it's okay to.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Be vulnerable, it's okay to not be to be in charge,
it's okay to let them lead once in a while.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Let that happen.

Speaker 5 (30:00):
That was my biggest issue with the roast. I'm like, well,
I know I can do. I know every print. It's okay.
And that's the takeaway. It's okay.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
I have I have one more question, and I promise
I'll stop after after seeing us on our show compared
to all the women on your show, what what do
you think was different? If any a.

Speaker 5 (30:26):
Watch, it was a lot different. So I do think
they tapped down the age a lot. I think they
tapped up age a lot, and I think that they
look different. Yeah, you know, I really think that they
really had long hair. Everybody had long hair. Everybody was
very I mean fit, but you guys are fit. I'm
just saying, you know, they they really worked on aesthetics
that was different than your show. I think that, and

(30:48):
I do. I mean I watched your I mean you ladies.
You know, Sarah, I can repeat the things you said.
That's some many times I.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Watch your show, Rob.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
We did what to Do, we were Robin.

Speaker 5 (30:58):
It was great. But I do think that's it. And
I also think that they're trying. I also think that
people came in with different agendas. I yes, you think that.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
I think whoa, whoa, whoa? Give us the top three agendas.

Speaker 5 (31:10):
I'm not like, well, the kitchen talk, you know, the
kitchen talk is business, you know, finding a man, financial security.
I mean, I don't know exactly who, but I think
you all, I'm just as a broad generalization, you all
came in as just finding true love with the pure heart.
I came in with that. I don't I don't mean
anyone to do anything. I just wanted to find that person.
I can tell guess what happened yesterday, right. I don't

(31:33):
think I don't think that was purity in our cast.
I don't think that's not a problem. Was that a
problem for you guys? I think that the I think
that it was illuminated m I think it was Lumina.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
We've spoken about, Okay, did Amy really do all the ditches?

Speaker 5 (31:52):
I love An, She's my bird. I can't never say
that I love Amy. She's the best that a lot
of people. I mean, I think that people came in
like and you know, I mean the Bachelor she's been
on forever, thirty years ago, was not like it's fake.
People wanted to be movie star. I don't know like
social media, you know, I don't know this stuff.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Social We didn't know anything.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Yeah, Susan, we got to say when we came on
the show, and we can speak honestly. I think we
can speak for pretty much our entire cast. Yes, I
did not know what a brand, deal and influencer. I
didn't know what any of that was. Susan and I
came on with pure. I am I speaking for both
of us. We wanted to find love. I want to

(32:36):
find the man who wants to wake up next to
me every morning and say, how long with the show.

Speaker 5 (32:42):
And I think it's this. I do think as it
as it eclipses things, challenge get challenged, and it does
g beat's I do think. And they're gorgeous. I'm not
saying it's and I'm not sure they I'm not not
saying they wouldn't want love. But I don't think it's
completely always the paramount, like I came with an open heart.
I want to find low. Yeah, find the man I

(33:03):
want so all. I think that's the clipsing though, like
it's that's what happens.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
I'm coming to Wine Country, girlfriend.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
Get you go. No, we're coming to see you. You
don't understand, Robin. We are going to show up on
your doorstep. I wish you.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
I'm going to text you before we come. Please send
me your numbers so I could text you and say
we're on our way.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
I want you to.

Speaker 5 (33:27):
I would love you. Oh my god, the time we
would have. But but you got Susan.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
You have somebody, right, Yes, I did need somebody, Yes
she does.

Speaker 3 (33:33):

wants to show up, We're gonna come because that that's
those are the Austin contingent.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Well, we have that Bachelor Nation vacation at sea, that's
the first one ever.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
I know, I know you have you to come on
that with us?

Speaker 5 (33:51):
Should I could? I on the schedule and that could
be fun.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
So is there anything else you want to ask us before?

Speaker 5 (33:59):
I just want to tell you that you're an inspiration.
I just want to tell you that you were the
first people out of the gate. It was a very
hard thing to do. You have really illuminated just what
life could be like in this stage of our lives
trying to find love, and it's it was really a
uh it's well, first, there was an honor to meet
you when you guys came into the mansion. I mean,

(34:20):
I cannot tell you matter.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
I were just as excited.

Speaker 5 (34:22):
I'm telling you, I'm so I'm going to watch Pride night.
I'm wearing the pajamas tonight.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Oh you hear that?

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Kathy, after the pillar flight fight, all the slippers were
off and everything. She came home with two sizes, two
different slippers.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
Oh is this so it sent to me? Is this
your bracelet? It was your bracelet, Kathy. I'm like, oh, yeah,
that must be Amy's because she wore all the gold bracelets.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
Oh can I tell you?

Speaker 1 (34:47):
No?

Speaker 5 (34:47):
No, no.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
I got out and I looked down and as a
diamondic gold bracelet. I flipped out right. I know.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
I was so lucky to find it.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
I had on my arm.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
It was you.

Speaker 5 (34:59):
No, no, they picked it up and they thought it
was Amy's bracelet because Amy wears all that you know,
all that stuff, and that was like stuff. Oh yeah,
I'll take it, she said, She said, she's my roommate.
I'll put it on, and.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
