Speaker 1 (00:07):
Welcome back to Bachelor Happy Hours, Golden Hour. Thank you
all for joining us. We're so excited to be back.
How are you doing, Susan.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We especially loved doing this one because it was all
about this week's episode. Oh my goodness, where do we start?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
You know, what? Where do you want to start? I
don't know. I don't know where do you want to start? Wait?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Roasting metw like that's new. I can imagine the women thinking, wait,
we have to say terrible things about him, we're trying
to win him.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Well, first of all, let me just say again, as
a woman of a certain age, what an opportunity to
roast the hell out of him? Oh no, it's just joking,
just a joke. I mean to throw it all at him.
So I thought that was Jared, Jared Ared. Oh, by
the way, can I just say, Jared, if you're listening,
(01:00):
you know what. I may be a woman of a
certain age, but I could take care of you. I
think he is hysterical.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Is hysterical? I agree? I agree?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Okay, So I loved but we got to start at
the beginning, before the roast Terry going after Nicole. I
want to know. I know we talked about this last week.
But I still and I like Nicole, but I have
an issue as a mom and a woman of a
(01:31):
certain age sort of just macking on this guy in
the pool and Terry goes after I thought in a
respectful way.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Well, yes, Terry let her know that they that's something
they wouldn't do and they didn't really approve of it.
And Nicole's like, hey, it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I know, but don't you again with the twenty somethings
the thirty somethings, I don't know, Susan. I feel like,
as Golden's we're supposed to be a step above that.
I just keep coming back to that, and I don't
like seeing Caddy behavior. I just don't. I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
How about how about what Cheryl said he was a
little cheesy and square and he reminded her of a
New York style pizza.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I say that was like, yeah, I mean, okay, but
cute line. But I'm rob wait, you you're in the roast.
I'm talking about the beginning. Before the roast even begins,
Cindy is sitting there crying. I don't know where this
is going, but it looks to me like Cindy is
going to be a major player in this in this show.
(02:38):
I mean, they just she's she's narrating, she's you know,
she's she's tearing up. Yeah, I smitten. And you know
when when she said, I'm not okay with Mel trying
to explore with other women, Yes, and then she said,
and this is what I want to get to before
we get to the roast. She's been cheated on. And
(03:00):
I thought to myself, are we different at our age,
Susan that to be cheated on when you've got a
family with children. I mean, listen, my kids. I'm guessing
you know we're cheated on when they were dating. I
don't know. I didn't ask them, but I just feel
like when you have a family and children.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
And that Leslie, Leslie had the same cry that I
know nobody left her.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
But don't you think it's like a to me, sad
is what it is.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's had. But Cindy's sharing it about men cheating on
her in the past, and she's not okay watching Mel
be with other women. That tells me Cindy's in it
for real. Her heart is getting involved. I think she
really believes that there's a connection.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, but I just I don't know, Maybe I'm just
maybe the problem for me is I'm not in it
like when we were on our show. I'm watching it
as a mom, as somebody who was on the Golden Bachelor,
as somebody who has children, And I'm thinking how hard
that must really be to talk about being cheated on
(04:13):
when you have a family, when you've had so many
years with a spouse. I don't know. That just really
struck me. And then the other thing.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
To hear it was and then I goes out to her,
what about Amy? And I'm the only one that cooks
and clean Kathy, do you remember being in that house?
What is the first thing I said to you? What
the hell? You girls don't clean up? Everybody pick up
after themselves. The dishes were piled up. I'm like, who
is in charge over here?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, I mean I get it. You know, Susan is
the cleaner of the center here. But wait before again,
I want to get to the roast. But the other
thing when Debbie said at the very beginning, Debbie, For
anyone who does remember, Debbie is sixty five and she's
never been married. She owys but her career first. But
(05:04):
she said she's ready now. And she said, you know,
it doesn't matter how old you are, you are worthy.
And she was saying, it's a glimpse of how life
could be on her on her one on one date
with him, and I know I'm jumping ahead, but.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
You are, You're way ahead of Well, it's.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
The themes though, It is the theme of feeling worthy
at any age, and that it's never too late, and.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
And and shows that I quote later on, I'll quote
what he said, which was our message coming off the
show exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, yeah, it's all the same.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And I know that show is about finding love. Well,
I agree, some people might be there for the wrong reasons.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, that's very true. But when she's back, just okay,
can we get back though? Can we come back to Debbie?
Because I thought definitely, all right, all right, let's go
back to the roast.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Hysterical Robin put their foot in the mountains in the
shoes and says, it's like a slipperly slow. I mean,
I don't know if I could have come up with
something that quick.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I mean they were I don't know if they had
to help writing this stuff, because you know, I'm pretty
quick witted, and I was like, oh my god, that's genius.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Kathy.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Who was it?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Was it Carol that didn't have her glasses because I
can't write. I can't write, I don't know my glasses.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
And can I say to you? I felt for that
because how many times I'm the girl you can see
me right now with glasses on. I have to wear
glasses to read, to write, I have to. And I
just thought when I was watching that, I'm thinking, yep,
there's age for you right there. Can you imagine a
twenty year old running around saying any of my glasses?
That was a golden moment for sure, and that really
(06:47):
was me Monica B I just loved it. You know,
don't go, don't go. He's an antique classic car, doesn't
go over six. I mean, come on, these great But
I just as a thematic comment, I love the fact
that it gave these women a way to rip him
(07:11):
a new one, whether they wanted to or not, humorously
or not right, because I honestly think most of them
had accepted his apology. But it was humor. It was funny.
He took it well. I thought he took it.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
When he isn't to me, mister personality Okay, I need
to see Mel. Get me some more energy, baby. I mean,
you're doing everything right, You're saying the right things. Blah
blah blah. Show me something. He's just kind of there
and going, and I don't see a ton of emotion
or excitement.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
He seems, you know, he keeps making I agree with
these susan, he keeps making comments about, you know, these women,
what they're doing. I'm like, Mel, what are you doing?
Like he seems a little stiff. I want to know
what he's feeling. I feel like Gary on our season
was really good at that.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
He was very good sharing his emotions.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Well we know that, but let's but let's go back
to a minute for Mel. You know, he's not you know,
he's a sports attorney and a football football player now
a sports attorney, so you know, you would think as
a people person he might be able to loosen up.
But I keep thinking, you know, he's like a deer
in the headlights with twenty three women.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I wonder, is he really uptight? Like says he is
it because it's stage fright. You know you're being filmed,
And and he redeemed himself and apologized profusely when this
all started. Is it part of that that he feels
I don't know, But I don't know. But Mel, get lose.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Okay, I've been saving this, Susan since last week. I've
been saving this for you. That's your nation. I have
been saving this all right. When they showed Mel's package
at the very beginning, and he's with his boys in
the kitchen, did you notice, I thought, melon, Susan never happening. Now,
it's nothing to do with her age. Did you notice
(09:02):
there were a sink full of dirty dishes? Go back
and watch, I thought, I I'll be so upset. Yeah,
I was like, well, that's it. You know, he may
not want that. She she would, now, she'd have your
ass and the sling. You'd be doing dishes for the
next month.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Hey, I've been teaching my man who's been here for
three weeks. Don't leave that in the.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Same you mentioned Carol, I don't know. I'm all about themes.
You know, someone's just gonna for get me off this,
off this ledge hair. But I'm watching this show with
a very different attitude. I'm watching it as really, what
(09:44):
what are we saying about Golden's You know, what are
we what is batsl nation, seeing how are we different
from the young ones? So when Carol Ever said to him, uh,
you know what, she said, he wants to day forty
to sixty year olds. And she said that's the first
(10:07):
thing we've had in common, meaning she wants to day
for And I thought, if that is an agentism right there,
like yeah, you Carol, Because do we hear women saying yeah,
I'm sixty and I want to date a guy forty?
We never hear it. So I was like, I it
was funny, but as a woman, I loved hearing that,
like women can day younger men.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yes, But also when they were chatting, I think she
kind of ran out of things to say, like she
said she was handsome, and then about the first kiss,
she felt like a teenager. And this one's for all
you shy girls. We had that one on one conversation
and it's like, go for it if you really this
situation is so different than everyday, normal life meeting somebody.
(10:53):
Am I right? Catch it is got ten other girls
going after the same man, So you need to put
out there what do you want?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
So? Can we can? We can? We we jump ahead
to the pajama party. I still want to come back
to Debbie in that one on one date.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
But well, let's do Debbie. Debbie gets so emotional. Oh
my god.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Oh okay, so, but did you not think that? To me,
Debbie was like the hopeful romantic cooking with him, a
glimpse of how life.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Star chef I would have been in my glory. But
he was very attentive. He was very affectionate, right. I
like that.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I didn't think he was overally affectionate, but okay.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
And he said Debbie is his type.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Yes, he did say that, but I'm not sure what
his type is yet. But again, Debbie's saying how great
it felt to be chosen, and that she's earnest about
love and and and she said this could be maybe
her moment. I just I want people to see that
you don't have to be twenty, you don't have to
(12:04):
be thirty, that we can have our moment at any age.
And I love that Debbie came out and said this
could be my moment. I believe in love, this could
be a glimpse of my life. And I just I
thought that was such a great capsule of what we
as goldens are looking for. I loved it. I love
(12:24):
you Debbie and.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
The best line ever when Debbie said, it doesn't matter
how old you are, exactly what you're saying, it doesn't
matter how old you are. And I still a feeling.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
It's a feeling, but you can have that feeling that
any age. And those are the messages that I am
loving on this show. That it's really it's just underscoring
the fact that age is just a number. The butterflies,
you can have them. The love, I don't know. I
love that. I thought it was such a sweet moment.
And of course, Susan, you know much I love too.
(13:00):
So I was sitting there thinking, oh, dear God, if
that had been me with mel and they gave me
a night.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
She took over and she said, get that whisk moved.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I used that, could you see me? I would have
cut my fingers off in the kitchen. I would have
sent me there, Darlne, darling, I'll make the reservations. You
can sit there and slice and dice all night.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
And during this whole time, Cindy is constantly thinking about
he's on a date with another woman. She shared how
she felt like a smitten kitten, and hell, she loves
how he said that they have a connection. So he's
on a date with Debbie. Cindy's at the house thinking
(13:38):
he said, we have a connection. That's kind of hard.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I mean again, I hate sounding a broken record. You
and I did not have a connection with Gary, But
I can imagine if if I had a connection with
a man and I'm watching him, you know, make out.
I mean, Cindy, for God's sakes, that in that in that,
in that preview for next week, she is on the
(14:02):
beach in the water. It looks like something out of
a Sports Illustrated bathing suit issue. I'm like, I mean, seriously,
so I get it. They clearly have a connection, So
I get it for her, and I think it's it's
really hard.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
The other thing that I love that they showed was
women our age. You know what we care about how
we look. The whole thing with the puffy eyes and
rolling stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I was like, you have the mask.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I have one, I know, but don't you love that
we're not trying to pretend we want to look our best.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I don't think that we both said agreed. Only The
major difference when I look at this show, compared to
every single one of them have long, beautiful hair.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I just swear to god suitsan I'm gonna I'm gonna
call them all when this show's over. All, right, do
you have extensions? Do you have extensions?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I don't think if any, there's many.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Oh no, many of them, I asked them. But I
now I'm going to take roll call. I'm gonna find I.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Want to see you because peg, I can definitely tell
you that I look at their hair on my hairdresser.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yeah, well, all right, I'm gonna find out on.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
One day, of course, that we got the rose. So
she's feeling good. Then the rose Starry money begins a
boy and the first choice.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Hold on, you just skipped over the pajama party. Oh wait, okay,
we're starting. Let's go with the pajama party. Now. I've
got to say, we know that there's only so much
time to air conversations, and era we all know watching
this show, a lot more goes on that we actually
(15:35):
see on TV. And you and I were lucky enough
or stupid enough to show up in shorty pajamas to
chat with these women.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Hey, Kathy, I thought we looked pretty good, especially when
did you see us when you plopped on one couch?
I plopped on the other waiting for them to get
changed in the fiah.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I know, but yes, let me say, were you not
sorry that they didn't show the pillow fight at the end?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I know they showed that. I know in the previous
it was a blast, you guys. There were feathers everywhere.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
So I felt like when we were there, first of all,
I loved that you and I got to get to
know them a little bit. But again, did it not
feel a little strange being in the house, well, being
in the house with these women who were in our situation,
(16:28):
just you know, but it was.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
So different for me. Tell me, seeing them and compared
to us was like night and day. And some of
the conversations that we had. I was a little taken back.
They were so excited to meet us and asking us
different questions, and I was like, who wha wait, wait,
wait a minute, wait a wit.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I think when we were there, that was right after,
if my memory serves me, because they talked to me
about it, and I know they mentioned to you the
kiss uh Nicole making out with him in the pool.
That was sort of that was sort of the discussion
of the evening. So I have a question, I mean,
not a question a comment. You talked to Peg. I
(17:12):
thought you gave great advice to the women. By the way, welcome,
But I had also talked to Peg, and it was
I didn't know that you had because I thought they
sort of split the women in half. I was thinking,
but maybe maybe I'm imagining it.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I get Peg, and I like her.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
She gorgeous, Hary. I kind of wanted her head of hair.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Oh it's tooth thick. It's tooth thick.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Oh please, are you serious? I take medication for hair growth.
That's blasphemy to say it's tooth thick. I don't want
to hear that. But we didn't have.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
All the women and oh my god, wait, how about
them not well? And speaking of Peg, is it really
a vibrator?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Okay, let's talk about that. When first of all batsor Nation.
When when they said we're going to have a little
present for you to get the girls, and they said
about a vibrator, Susan's eyes lit up, and I went,
oh god, please, can I just take an early exit?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
When I said, you could use it here for sore muscles,
here here, and I said even below the waist, I said,
he is sixty, after all, he's over sixty, so you
may need this time. There's nothing wrong with adding a
little fun by the bedroom.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Okay, seriously, truth you know, never have I ever? By
the way, we could talk about that game too. I
was like, oh my god, here we go throwing down
the ice cream. But seriously, do you really think for
one minute? Now, I know, Susan, you say I'm like
a prude, which I'm not, but we're not going to
get into that.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I wouldn't say a prude, but this other.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Yeah, trust me, trust me, you know, trust me, I'm good.
But here's the question I have for you. Do you
really think those women didn't know what it was? I
was like, come on, ladies, just be real. No, I
mean you know, I mean.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
It wasn't shaped like a penis or anything. It was
a wand well the on of the popular things these days.
If anybody's keeping up on whatever.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I was just sitting there. Ladies, if you don't know
what this is, you're probably not ready.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
A lot of them did is.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
They were like, oh my god, I love this? Did
I said? I said something like, what'd you think this
was crayon's? Because what do you think we're going to
do here? We're real. I don't know. I thought it
was great getting it and the but the conversations were
different than the ones we had. I will say they were.
(19:31):
And I cannot believe that you and I had on
silk shorty pajamas.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
And I give we look good. We look good. I
felt so much better.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
After seeing this, I don't know, yeah, like yeah, And
you know.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
The best part of all, Kathy, we were comfortable right, well, slippers,
no high heels, like it was a chill okay, and
everybody was on our same level. You know. It was
just fun.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Can I admit something? After we had the pillow fight
that they only showed the promos, my slippers came off
and I loved the slippers because they were so comfortable.
And I got back to the hotel, I had two
different slippers, two different sizes. Oh my god, I like,
well so much for us.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I was choking on the feathers getting in my mouth
because I kept laughing so much. Okay, but the girls
really were excited to see us, and that was such
a nice, warm welcome. They were screaming, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah it was. And then they're part of the family.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Now Mel's Mel's face, I.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Know, but don't you. I feel like they're all part
of our bachelor family.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I can't wait to see them again. I really can't.
I hope I get to We will, we will, So
now we have the rose ceremony. I was so blessed
and happy for Cindy that she was the first one
and in the same breath Kathy, if I may, if
she's not the one, like, I feel like, whoa, you're
(20:57):
leading her on the believe like, I.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Don't know where my money's on Cindy. My money's on
I mean, she's from Austin, But I just think they
definitely have a very strong connection. But wait, can I
I have to say something? Wine in hand here, I'm
toasting right here, get this? Are you ready? If Mel
says one more time when he lifts his champagne glass,
(21:20):
I want to toast to love, happiness and fun, fun.
I'm like, really, you said that last time? Can you
be more creative? Mel? Like, I mean, there's so much
more than he could say, And I think, as a woman,
it's like, how about to finding love?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
How about he does say my future wife could be
in this room?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah, well, you know what, can I just say my
future husband could be in this world big deal.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Were you surprised that he let.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Terry from the from Houston? I mean, I like Terry.
She's my kind of girl, just personality wise, you know,
I don't We don't know. Again again, time is short.
We don't know what conversations were had or not had
with these women with Mel. But when when Carol said
(22:28):
she was so nervous and she needed to make herself
more vulnerable, I felt like it hit home to me
because even though I'm outgoing and gregarious, you know, it's
hard to be vulnerable. It's hard to say I care,
I are you interested? Because I am. That's hard and
I'm that for me is the biggest difference. And I
(22:50):
know it sounds crazy, but watching this show, I'm having
more emotional connections with this whole thing than I did
being a participant. And I I thought last week it
was just sort of oh yeah, just the first episode.
But no, I'm really I'm feeling it when when when
(23:12):
Carol says it, I'm feeling it when Debbie says they.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Were opening up and being vulnerable by saying those things too.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yeah, and and and so I've got a problem and
I like Mel. Again, I have to repeat I've not
met him yet. I think he's a good looking man.
I mean, jumping in the pool with sneakers. I'm not
sure I would have done it, but you know whatever, definitely,
I mean whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
But we know this show is about finding love just
having fun.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Right, and so it's always fun. And that's what that's
what's bothering you about his toast. It's to love, not
finding love. He just he said it twice and now love,
happiness and fun. And you know that's the other thing
that he keeps saying is in different you know, iterations,
(24:06):
he says all of this, all of the women, they
all have a fit for me. In other words, what
I took it to mean is there's bits and pieces
of each woman. Yeah, And I'm like, so, you know,
Kathy analytical. Kathy starts thinking if I were one of them,
I don't want to be the one left behind. Do
(24:26):
you know what you want? Mal, You're sixty six years old.
Do you know what you want? Because you know, if
I go out on a date with six guys, you know,
in six different dates, I might say to you, Susan,
I went on six dates. But I'm going to say
(24:47):
also say to you, I can only see dating this
guy or maybe two guys, not all of these women.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
So that's feeling a connection right now, I know.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
But don't you Is that a concern to you at all?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
That that I think every single person as a lead
has to go through that every one I've ever seen
is the same. They don't know yet.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Okay, but we're on We're on episode three, we're like
a third of the way through, and either again just
getting oh yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
To some of the notes that I wrote. Again, I
really like Mail. However he's not giving me enough. I
don't know if it's not enough energy, but there's something
missing here.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Wait wait wait, wait, wait wait, wait back up, repeat
what you just said for me.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I really like Mail, However he is not giving me enough.
I don't know if it's not enough energy, but there's
something missing. I can't quite put my finger on it.
And that's saying if it were me dating him, just
think something's not one hundred percent there. Maybe he's a
(25:58):
quiet guy. I mean, I give anybody and everybody the
benefit of the doubt. However, show me something else. Show
me some energy, baby, show me where your heart's going.
He's not given that and maybe not yet because it
is weak three.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So I'm just going to say what you just said.
It's only if you say it's only week three, So
maybe that's part of it. But I feel like, like
I said, I want to like him, I want to
meet him. I feel like he's stiff. That's the where
he keeps coming to me. However, I'm guessing, but.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
That smile is real, right, he does smile with them.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
And I think he has a calm demeanor. I think
it's a football player. I'm just being honest. I don't know,
but I'm guessing. You know, his back hurts, his neck hurts,
his legs hurt, his knees hurt. God knows, his feet
hurt because leather shoes are not in his vocabulary. But
that's so I am struggling here with what. You just
(26:55):
hit the nail on the head something?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Who with hill? What is it?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Who are you tell us? Yeah? And I even though
he may not know which woman he wants again, I
would love to hear what he's looking for. And I'm
not getting that yet.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
He hasn't shared it though.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
So that's why let me let me read. That's why
I said to you, Does he know what he wants
uh or is or is? You know, he wants bits
and pieces of whatever. We're down to eleven women. I
I I was not surprised. I like Amy. I mean,
come on, that girl's Northeastern girl. She's got a lot
(27:36):
of energy. Monica, Monica Terry and and Monica Pete. So
the two Monica's Terry and Amy. I we don't know. Again,
we're not privy to all the conversations, so we don't
really know why. But the ones that he kept, he said,
(27:59):
there's pie says of each one. So I'm and let
me just.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Say something about it, each one of them that he
is attracted to. One thing's there.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I can tell how this game works, right, Can I
just tell you the piece that's working with Cindy is
that girl rocks a bikini and looks great with the
ocean washing over while they're making out. I'm telling you
it looks it was like a B movie right there.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
And you know she gets like real sappy and cry
because she's really into it. And then she's so fun
and sure of herself when she's having a conversation. I
really like her.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Wait, can I just say I'm going to take lessons
from that again. You know I need help dating Alli
out there. I need help, So you know, did you
see I'm watching I don't know why, Susan, I keep
telling you, I'm watching this episode, this series, this show
so carefully. I'm watching Cindy. I think they have a connection.
I'm watching. I'm watching her put her hand on his
(28:56):
arm and her hand on his shoulder, and when she
kisses him, she's sort of gently puts her hands. I'm
taking lessons Sinday.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
She's feeling. It's a feeling.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
But do you see it with him? Do you think, like.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
When then Cole kisses him, I feel like Nicole just
getting his attention, show him how good she can be
at this. I don't know if her heart's in it.
She just wants attention. I'm not sure about Nichole's long
term feeling about him. Yeah, I know she likes to
be front and center. She likes attention, and she likes
(29:30):
to kiss him.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Oh wait a minute, are we talking about Susan or Nicole?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Haha? I always front and center, but and you love attention.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I'm not kissing you know what, if I ever get
to see mel I'm going to say, could I be
Number twenty four. Oh my gosh, could you believe on
the show? By the way, I mean, this is what
happens to me. I say these things because it's just
what comes out of my mouth. I'm sure I'm gonna
take flak from that. I know every secret door in
this house, and I'm now I'm coming for you, like
(30:00):
you know, so when I see him, you know, I
may have to give him just a little pack if
I get to meet him.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I was impressed the way the house looked and our
candy jars, and that feeling that I had walking in
there was like, oh my god. The bathroom without the
mirror on the first floor.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
All I can say is, after watching episode three, I
feel like something's building and then it ebbs and flows,
and I want to see more of the flow. I
want to see Mel committing to something and someone a
little bit more than he is. I can't wait for
(30:38):
next week.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yes, And did you happen to hear the Remember last
week the coming attractions, which I can't believe, as you said,
they didn't show you starting the fillip pillow fight with
the I remember catching that. This week, I caught something
that was like, oh, one of the young ladies saying
that they were having a conversation between them about the
(31:03):
reasons they're there.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Yes, and somebody said that somebody was there to be whatever,
and then they said yeah, and then one of them said,
here we go. I thought, oh, here we go. Someone said,
I don't remember which one she's here for the wrong reasons,
and Cindy pipes right up and says, you tell them,
(31:25):
and I thought, yes, Cindy spread the dirty workout. Let
somebody make him.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Robin's the one that there. And that reminded me of
stuff with us, like who's going to be the bad
guy and go tell him?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Hello, what's going on? Yeah? Hello? No, I know, but I.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Can't wait for us. I mean, these women watched us,
and then watch us now we knew nothing about social
media influencers. Whatever happened happened for us, and I feel blessed.
I mean, we have a podcast, we get to talk
about the show.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
What are you talking about? You got a guy listen,
you can talk about.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
It wasn't on the damn show. It was two years later.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah. Well, I'm waiting for the guy and it's his
two years later.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
So I don't coming.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I don't get this coming. This year, okay, twenty twenty
five or twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Six, No, twenty five, okay, But but as Frederic would say,
but these women did they all go for love? Kathy?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
You know what I'm well, I think as we keep
going through the season, everyone's motives are going to become
more clear. I think it's it's always Mel. I wouldn't
want to be in his shoes or in this case,
his sneakers for anything, because he is the guy that
(32:49):
has to judge these women and make choices. And you
know what I keep saying to you, I'm a woman
who supports women. I want them all to find love.
I want them all to find happiness. And next week,
you know, there's going to be more women going home.
But hopefully Mel is feeling more comfortable literally in his
(33:09):
sneakers and is letting loose and is going to start
opening up and let himself feel vulnerable.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
The loosest I've seen is in that kitchen with the
chef there like he was whipping. They looked like they
were having fun. They really did. That was the best part.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
But we'll see until next week.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Everybody enjoyed our comments and thoughts on this week's episode.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Let us know what you think. We're saying the same thing.
We want to know what you think. If you're enjoying
this season, We're with you, guys. We want Mel to
find love. We want everyone out there to find love.
So let us know what you're thinking. And until next week.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Yes, and be sure to follow Bachelor Happy Hour. We
have new episodes and we will talk about every episode
of this season, and so look forward to it.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
And follow, follow us, and listen to Bachelor Happy Hour
Golden Hour on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get

Welcome back to Bachelor Happy Hours, Golden Hour. Thank you
all for joining us. We're so excited to be back.
How are you doing, Susan.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We especially loved doing this one because it was all
about this week's episode. Oh my goodness, where do we start?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
You know, what? Where do you want to start? I
don't know. I don't know where do you want to start? Wait?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Roasting metw like that's new. I can imagine the women thinking, wait,
we have to say terrible things about him, we're trying
to win him.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Well, first of all, let me just say again, as
a woman of a certain age, what an opportunity to
roast the hell out of him? Oh no, it's just joking,
just a joke. I mean to throw it all at him.
So I thought that was Jared, Jared Ared. Oh, by
the way, can I just say, Jared, if you're listening,
(01:00):
you know what. I may be a woman of a
certain age, but I could take care of you. I
think he is hysterical.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Is hysterical? I agree? I agree?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Okay, So I loved but we got to start at
the beginning, before the roast Terry going after Nicole. I
want to know. I know we talked about this last week.
But I still and I like Nicole, but I have
an issue as a mom and a woman of a
(01:31):
certain age sort of just macking on this guy in
the pool and Terry goes after I thought in a
respectful way.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Well, yes, Terry let her know that they that's something
they wouldn't do and they didn't really approve of it.
And Nicole's like, hey, it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I know, but don't you again with the twenty somethings
the thirty somethings, I don't know, Susan. I feel like,
as Golden's we're supposed to be a step above that.
I just keep coming back to that, and I don't
like seeing Caddy behavior. I just don't. I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
How about how about what Cheryl said he was a
little cheesy and square and he reminded her of a
New York style pizza.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I say that was like, yeah, I mean, okay, but
cute line. But I'm rob wait, you you're in the roast.
I'm talking about the beginning. Before the roast even begins,
Cindy is sitting there crying. I don't know where this
is going, but it looks to me like Cindy is
going to be a major player in this in this show.
(02:38):
I mean, they just she's she's narrating, she's you know,
she's she's tearing up. Yeah, I smitten. And you know
when when she said, I'm not okay with Mel trying
to explore with other women, Yes, and then she said,
and this is what I want to get to before
we get to the roast. She's been cheated on. And
(03:00):
I thought to myself, are we different at our age,
Susan that to be cheated on when you've got a
family with children. I mean, listen, my kids. I'm guessing
you know we're cheated on when they were dating. I
don't know. I didn't ask them, but I just feel
like when you have a family and children.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
And that Leslie, Leslie had the same cry that I
know nobody left her.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
But don't you think it's like a to me, sad
is what it is.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's had. But Cindy's sharing it about men cheating on
her in the past, and she's not okay watching Mel
be with other women. That tells me Cindy's in it
for real. Her heart is getting involved. I think she
really believes that there's a connection.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, but I just I don't know, Maybe I'm just
maybe the problem for me is I'm not in it
like when we were on our show. I'm watching it
as a mom, as somebody who was on the Golden Bachelor,
as somebody who has children, And I'm thinking how hard
that must really be to talk about being cheated on
(04:13):
when you have a family, when you've had so many
years with a spouse. I don't know. That just really
struck me. And then the other thing.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
To hear it was and then I goes out to her,
what about Amy? And I'm the only one that cooks
and clean Kathy, do you remember being in that house?
What is the first thing I said to you? What
the hell? You girls don't clean up? Everybody pick up
after themselves. The dishes were piled up. I'm like, who
is in charge over here?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, I mean I get it. You know, Susan is
the cleaner of the center here. But wait before again,
I want to get to the roast. But the other
thing when Debbie said at the very beginning, Debbie, For
anyone who does remember, Debbie is sixty five and she's
never been married. She owys but her career first. But
(05:04):
she said she's ready now. And she said, you know,
it doesn't matter how old you are, you are worthy.
And she was saying, it's a glimpse of how life
could be on her on her one on one date
with him, and I know I'm jumping ahead, but.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
You are, You're way ahead of Well, it's.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
The themes though, It is the theme of feeling worthy
at any age, and that it's never too late, and.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
And and shows that I quote later on, I'll quote
what he said, which was our message coming off the
show exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, yeah, it's all the same.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And I know that show is about finding love. Well,
I agree, some people might be there for the wrong reasons.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, that's very true. But when she's back, just okay,
can we get back though? Can we come back to Debbie?
Because I thought definitely, all right, all right, let's go
back to the roast.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Hysterical Robin put their foot in the mountains in the
shoes and says, it's like a slipperly slow. I mean,
I don't know if I could have come up with
something that quick.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I mean they were I don't know if they had
to help writing this stuff, because you know, I'm pretty
quick witted, and I was like, oh my god, that's genius.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Kathy.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Who was it?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Was it Carol that didn't have her glasses because I
can't write. I can't write, I don't know my glasses.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
And can I say to you? I felt for that
because how many times I'm the girl you can see
me right now with glasses on. I have to wear
glasses to read, to write, I have to. And I
just thought when I was watching that, I'm thinking, yep,
there's age for you right there. Can you imagine a
twenty year old running around saying any of my glasses?
That was a golden moment for sure, and that really
(06:47):
was me Monica B I just loved it. You know,
don't go, don't go. He's an antique classic car, doesn't
go over six. I mean, come on, these great But
I just as a thematic comment, I love the fact
that it gave these women a way to rip him
(07:11):
a new one, whether they wanted to or not, humorously
or not right, because I honestly think most of them
had accepted his apology. But it was humor. It was funny.
He took it well. I thought he took it.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
When he isn't to me, mister personality Okay, I need
to see Mel. Get me some more energy, baby. I mean,
you're doing everything right, You're saying the right things. Blah
blah blah. Show me something. He's just kind of there
and going, and I don't see a ton of emotion
or excitement.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
He seems, you know, he keeps making I agree with
these susan, he keeps making comments about, you know, these women,
what they're doing. I'm like, Mel, what are you doing?
Like he seems a little stiff. I want to know
what he's feeling. I feel like Gary on our season
was really good at that.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
He was very good sharing his emotions.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Well we know that, but let's but let's go back
to a minute for Mel. You know, he's not you know,
he's a sports attorney and a football football player now
a sports attorney, so you know, you would think as
a people person he might be able to loosen up.
But I keep thinking, you know, he's like a deer
in the headlights with twenty three women.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I wonder, is he really uptight? Like says he is
it because it's stage fright. You know you're being filmed,
And and he redeemed himself and apologized profusely when this
all started. Is it part of that that he feels
I don't know, But I don't know. But Mel, get lose.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Okay, I've been saving this, Susan since last week. I've
been saving this for you. That's your nation. I have
been saving this all right. When they showed Mel's package
at the very beginning, and he's with his boys in
the kitchen, did you notice, I thought, melon, Susan never happening. Now,
it's nothing to do with her age. Did you notice
(09:02):
there were a sink full of dirty dishes? Go back
and watch, I thought, I I'll be so upset. Yeah,
I was like, well, that's it. You know, he may
not want that. She she would, now, she'd have your
ass and the sling. You'd be doing dishes for the
next month.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Hey, I've been teaching my man who's been here for
three weeks. Don't leave that in the.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Same you mentioned Carol, I don't know. I'm all about themes.
You know, someone's just gonna for get me off this,
off this ledge hair. But I'm watching this show with
a very different attitude. I'm watching it as really, what
(09:44):
what are we saying about Golden's You know, what are
we what is batsl nation, seeing how are we different
from the young ones? So when Carol Ever said to him, uh,
you know what, she said, he wants to day forty
to sixty year olds. And she said that's the first
(10:07):
thing we've had in common, meaning she wants to day
for And I thought, if that is an agentism right there,
like yeah, you Carol, Because do we hear women saying yeah,
I'm sixty and I want to date a guy forty?
We never hear it. So I was like, I it
was funny, but as a woman, I loved hearing that,
like women can day younger men.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yes, But also when they were chatting, I think she
kind of ran out of things to say, like she
said she was handsome, and then about the first kiss,
she felt like a teenager. And this one's for all
you shy girls. We had that one on one conversation
and it's like, go for it if you really this
situation is so different than everyday, normal life meeting somebody.
(10:53):
Am I right? Catch it is got ten other girls
going after the same man, So you need to put
out there what do you want?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
So? Can we can? We can? We we jump ahead
to the pajama party. I still want to come back
to Debbie in that one on one date.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
But well, let's do Debbie. Debbie gets so emotional. Oh
my god.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Oh okay, so, but did you not think that? To me,
Debbie was like the hopeful romantic cooking with him, a
glimpse of how life.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Star chef I would have been in my glory. But
he was very attentive. He was very affectionate, right. I
like that.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I didn't think he was overally affectionate, but okay.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
And he said Debbie is his type.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Yes, he did say that, but I'm not sure what
his type is yet. But again, Debbie's saying how great
it felt to be chosen, and that she's earnest about
love and and and she said this could be maybe
her moment. I just I want people to see that
you don't have to be twenty, you don't have to
(12:04):
be thirty, that we can have our moment at any age.
And I love that Debbie came out and said this
could be my moment. I believe in love, this could
be a glimpse of my life. And I just I
thought that was such a great capsule of what we
as goldens are looking for. I loved it. I love
(12:24):
you Debbie and.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
The best line ever when Debbie said, it doesn't matter
how old you are, exactly what you're saying, it doesn't
matter how old you are. And I still a feeling.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
It's a feeling, but you can have that feeling that
any age. And those are the messages that I am
loving on this show. That it's really it's just underscoring
the fact that age is just a number. The butterflies,
you can have them. The love, I don't know. I
love that. I thought it was such a sweet moment.
And of course, Susan, you know much I love too.
(13:00):
So I was sitting there thinking, oh, dear God, if
that had been me with mel and they gave me
a night.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
She took over and she said, get that whisk moved.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I used that, could you see me? I would have
cut my fingers off in the kitchen. I would have
sent me there, Darlne, darling, I'll make the reservations. You
can sit there and slice and dice all night.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
And during this whole time, Cindy is constantly thinking about
he's on a date with another woman. She shared how
she felt like a smitten kitten, and hell, she loves
how he said that they have a connection. So he's
on a date with Debbie. Cindy's at the house thinking
(13:38):
he said, we have a connection. That's kind of hard.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I mean again, I hate sounding a broken record. You
and I did not have a connection with Gary, But
I can imagine if if I had a connection with
a man and I'm watching him, you know, make out.
I mean, Cindy, for God's sakes, that in that in that,
in that preview for next week, she is on the
(14:02):
beach in the water. It looks like something out of
a Sports Illustrated bathing suit issue. I'm like, I mean, seriously,
so I get it. They clearly have a connection, So
I get it for her, and I think it's it's
really hard.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
The other thing that I love that they showed was
women our age. You know what we care about how
we look. The whole thing with the puffy eyes and
rolling stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I was like, you have the mask.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I have one, I know, but don't you love that
we're not trying to pretend we want to look our best.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I don't think that we both said agreed. Only The
major difference when I look at this show, compared to
every single one of them have long, beautiful hair.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I just swear to god suitsan I'm gonna I'm gonna
call them all when this show's over. All, right, do
you have extensions? Do you have extensions?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I don't think if any, there's many.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Oh no, many of them, I asked them. But I
now I'm going to take roll call. I'm gonna find I.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Want to see you because peg, I can definitely tell
you that I look at their hair on my hairdresser.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yeah, well, all right, I'm gonna find out on.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
One day, of course, that we got the rose. So
she's feeling good. Then the rose Starry money begins a
boy and the first choice.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Hold on, you just skipped over the pajama party. Oh wait, okay,
we're starting. Let's go with the pajama party. Now. I've
got to say, we know that there's only so much
time to air conversations, and era we all know watching
this show, a lot more goes on that we actually
(15:35):
see on TV. And you and I were lucky enough
or stupid enough to show up in shorty pajamas to
chat with these women.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Hey, Kathy, I thought we looked pretty good, especially when
did you see us when you plopped on one couch?
I plopped on the other waiting for them to get
changed in the fiah.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I know, but yes, let me say, were you not
sorry that they didn't show the pillow fight at the end?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I know they showed that. I know in the previous
it was a blast, you guys. There were feathers everywhere.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
So I felt like when we were there, first of all,
I loved that you and I got to get to
know them a little bit. But again, did it not
feel a little strange being in the house, well, being
in the house with these women who were in our situation,
(16:28):
just you know, but it was.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
So different for me. Tell me, seeing them and compared
to us was like night and day. And some of
the conversations that we had. I was a little taken back.
They were so excited to meet us and asking us
different questions, and I was like, who wha wait, wait,
wait a minute, wait a wit.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I think when we were there, that was right after,
if my memory serves me, because they talked to me
about it, and I know they mentioned to you the
kiss uh Nicole making out with him in the pool.
That was sort of that was sort of the discussion
of the evening. So I have a question, I mean,
not a question a comment. You talked to Peg. I
(17:12):
thought you gave great advice to the women. By the way, welcome,
But I had also talked to Peg, and it was
I didn't know that you had because I thought they
sort of split the women in half. I was thinking,
but maybe maybe I'm imagining it.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I get Peg, and I like her.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
She gorgeous, Hary. I kind of wanted her head of hair.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Oh it's tooth thick. It's tooth thick.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Oh please, are you serious? I take medication for hair growth.
That's blasphemy to say it's tooth thick. I don't want
to hear that. But we didn't have.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
All the women and oh my god, wait, how about
them not well? And speaking of Peg, is it really
a vibrator?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Okay, let's talk about that. When first of all batsor Nation.
When when they said we're going to have a little
present for you to get the girls, and they said
about a vibrator, Susan's eyes lit up, and I went,
oh god, please, can I just take an early exit?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
When I said, you could use it here for sore muscles,
here here, and I said even below the waist, I said,
he is sixty, after all, he's over sixty, so you
may need this time. There's nothing wrong with adding a
little fun by the bedroom.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Okay, seriously, truth you know, never have I ever? By
the way, we could talk about that game too. I
was like, oh my god, here we go throwing down
the ice cream. But seriously, do you really think for
one minute? Now, I know, Susan, you say I'm like
a prude, which I'm not, but we're not going to
get into that.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I wouldn't say a prude, but this other.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Yeah, trust me, trust me, you know, trust me, I'm good.
But here's the question I have for you. Do you
really think those women didn't know what it was? I
was like, come on, ladies, just be real. No, I
mean you know, I mean.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
It wasn't shaped like a penis or anything. It was
a wand well the on of the popular things these days.
If anybody's keeping up on whatever.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I was just sitting there. Ladies, if you don't know
what this is, you're probably not ready.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
A lot of them did is.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
They were like, oh my god, I love this? Did
I said? I said something like, what'd you think this
was crayon's? Because what do you think we're going to
do here? We're real. I don't know. I thought it
was great getting it and the but the conversations were
different than the ones we had. I will say they were.
(19:31):
And I cannot believe that you and I had on
silk shorty pajamas.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
And I give we look good. We look good. I
felt so much better.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
After seeing this, I don't know, yeah, like yeah, And
you know.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
The best part of all, Kathy, we were comfortable right, well, slippers,
no high heels, like it was a chill okay, and
everybody was on our same level. You know. It was
just fun.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Can I admit something? After we had the pillow fight
that they only showed the promos, my slippers came off
and I loved the slippers because they were so comfortable.
And I got back to the hotel, I had two
different slippers, two different sizes. Oh my god, I like,
well so much for us.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I was choking on the feathers getting in my mouth
because I kept laughing so much. Okay, but the girls
really were excited to see us, and that was such
a nice, warm welcome. They were screaming, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah it was. And then they're part of the family.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Now Mel's Mel's face, I.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Know, but don't you. I feel like they're all part
of our bachelor family.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I can't wait to see them again. I really can't.
I hope I get to We will, we will, So
now we have the rose ceremony. I was so blessed
and happy for Cindy that she was the first one
and in the same breath Kathy, if I may, if
she's not the one, like, I feel like, whoa, you're
(20:57):
leading her on the believe like, I.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Don't know where my money's on Cindy. My money's on
I mean, she's from Austin, But I just think they
definitely have a very strong connection. But wait, can I
I have to say something? Wine in hand here, I'm
toasting right here, get this? Are you ready? If Mel
says one more time when he lifts his champagne glass,
(21:20):
I want to toast to love, happiness and fun, fun.
I'm like, really, you said that last time? Can you
be more creative? Mel? Like, I mean, there's so much
more than he could say, And I think, as a woman,
it's like, how about to finding love?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
How about he does say my future wife could be
in this room?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah, well, you know what, can I just say my
future husband could be in this world big deal.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Were you surprised that he let.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Terry from the from Houston? I mean, I like Terry.
She's my kind of girl, just personality wise, you know,
I don't We don't know. Again again, time is short.
We don't know what conversations were had or not had
with these women with Mel. But when when Carol said
(22:28):
she was so nervous and she needed to make herself
more vulnerable, I felt like it hit home to me
because even though I'm outgoing and gregarious, you know, it's
hard to be vulnerable. It's hard to say I care,
I are you interested? Because I am. That's hard and
I'm that for me is the biggest difference. And I
(22:50):
know it sounds crazy, but watching this show, I'm having
more emotional connections with this whole thing than I did
being a participant. And I I thought last week it
was just sort of oh yeah, just the first episode.
But no, I'm really I'm feeling it when when when
(23:12):
Carol says it, I'm feeling it when Debbie says they.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Were opening up and being vulnerable by saying those things too.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yeah, and and and so I've got a problem and
I like Mel. Again, I have to repeat I've not
met him yet. I think he's a good looking man.
I mean, jumping in the pool with sneakers. I'm not
sure I would have done it, but you know whatever, definitely,
I mean whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
But we know this show is about finding love just
having fun.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Right, and so it's always fun. And that's what that's
what's bothering you about his toast. It's to love, not
finding love. He just he said it twice and now love,
happiness and fun. And you know that's the other thing
that he keeps saying is in different you know, iterations,
(24:06):
he says all of this, all of the women, they
all have a fit for me. In other words, what
I took it to mean is there's bits and pieces
of each woman. Yeah, And I'm like, so, you know,
Kathy analytical. Kathy starts thinking if I were one of them,
I don't want to be the one left behind. Do
(24:26):
you know what you want? Mal, You're sixty six years old.
Do you know what you want? Because you know, if
I go out on a date with six guys, you know,
in six different dates, I might say to you, Susan,
I went on six dates. But I'm going to say
(24:47):
also say to you, I can only see dating this
guy or maybe two guys, not all of these women.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
So that's feeling a connection right now, I know.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
But don't you Is that a concern to you at all?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
That that I think every single person as a lead
has to go through that every one I've ever seen
is the same. They don't know yet.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Okay, but we're on We're on episode three, we're like
a third of the way through, and either again just
getting oh yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
To some of the notes that I wrote. Again, I
really like Mail. However he's not giving me enough. I
don't know if it's not enough energy, but there's something
missing here.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Wait wait wait, wait, wait wait, wait back up, repeat
what you just said for me.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I really like Mail, However he is not giving me enough.
I don't know if it's not enough energy, but there's
something missing. I can't quite put my finger on it.
And that's saying if it were me dating him, just
think something's not one hundred percent there. Maybe he's a
(25:58):
quiet guy. I mean, I give anybody and everybody the
benefit of the doubt. However, show me something else. Show
me some energy, baby, show me where your heart's going.
He's not given that and maybe not yet because it
is weak three.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So I'm just going to say what you just said.
It's only if you say it's only week three, So
maybe that's part of it. But I feel like, like
I said, I want to like him, I want to
meet him. I feel like he's stiff. That's the where
he keeps coming to me. However, I'm guessing, but.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
That smile is real, right, he does smile with them.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
And I think he has a calm demeanor. I think
it's a football player. I'm just being honest. I don't know,
but I'm guessing. You know, his back hurts, his neck hurts,
his legs hurt, his knees hurt. God knows, his feet
hurt because leather shoes are not in his vocabulary. But
that's so I am struggling here with what. You just
(26:55):
hit the nail on the head something?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Who with hill? What is it?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Who are you tell us? Yeah? And I even though
he may not know which woman he wants again, I
would love to hear what he's looking for. And I'm
not getting that yet.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
He hasn't shared it though.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
So that's why let me let me read. That's why
I said to you, Does he know what he wants
uh or is or is? You know, he wants bits
and pieces of whatever. We're down to eleven women. I
I I was not surprised. I like Amy. I mean,
come on, that girl's Northeastern girl. She's got a lot
(27:36):
of energy. Monica, Monica Terry and and Monica Pete. So
the two Monica's Terry and Amy. I we don't know. Again,
we're not privy to all the conversations, so we don't
really know why. But the ones that he kept, he said,
(27:59):
there's pie says of each one. So I'm and let
me just.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Say something about it, each one of them that he
is attracted to. One thing's there.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I can tell how this game works, right, Can I
just tell you the piece that's working with Cindy is
that girl rocks a bikini and looks great with the
ocean washing over while they're making out. I'm telling you
it looks it was like a B movie right there.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
And you know she gets like real sappy and cry
because she's really into it. And then she's so fun
and sure of herself when she's having a conversation. I
really like her.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Wait, can I just say I'm going to take lessons
from that again. You know I need help dating Alli
out there. I need help, So you know, did you
see I'm watching I don't know why, Susan, I keep
telling you, I'm watching this episode, this series, this show
so carefully. I'm watching Cindy. I think they have a connection.
I'm watching. I'm watching her put her hand on his
(28:56):
arm and her hand on his shoulder, and when she
kisses him, she's sort of gently puts her hands. I'm
taking lessons Sinday.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
She's feeling. It's a feeling.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
But do you see it with him? Do you think, like.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
When then Cole kisses him, I feel like Nicole just
getting his attention, show him how good she can be
at this. I don't know if her heart's in it.
She just wants attention. I'm not sure about Nichole's long
term feeling about him. Yeah, I know she likes to
be front and center. She likes attention, and she likes
(29:30):
to kiss him.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Oh wait a minute, are we talking about Susan or Nicole?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Haha? I always front and center, but and you love attention.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I'm not kissing you know what, if I ever get
to see mel I'm going to say, could I be
Number twenty four. Oh my gosh, could you believe on
the show? By the way, I mean, this is what
happens to me. I say these things because it's just
what comes out of my mouth. I'm sure I'm gonna
take flak from that. I know every secret door in
this house, and I'm now I'm coming for you, like
(30:00):
you know, so when I see him, you know, I
may have to give him just a little pack if
I get to meet him.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I was impressed the way the house looked and our
candy jars, and that feeling that I had walking in
there was like, oh my god. The bathroom without the
mirror on the first floor.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
All I can say is, after watching episode three, I
feel like something's building and then it ebbs and flows,
and I want to see more of the flow. I
want to see Mel committing to something and someone a
little bit more than he is. I can't wait for
(30:38):
next week.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yes, And did you happen to hear the Remember last
week the coming attractions, which I can't believe, as you said,
they didn't show you starting the fillip pillow fight with
the I remember catching that. This week, I caught something
that was like, oh, one of the young ladies saying
that they were having a conversation between them about the
(31:03):
reasons they're there.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Yes, and somebody said that somebody was there to be whatever,
and then they said yeah, and then one of them said,
here we go. I thought, oh, here we go. Someone said,
I don't remember which one she's here for the wrong reasons,
and Cindy pipes right up and says, you tell them,
(31:25):
and I thought, yes, Cindy spread the dirty workout. Let
somebody make him.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Robin's the one that there. And that reminded me of
stuff with us, like who's going to be the bad
guy and go tell him?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Hello, what's going on? Yeah? Hello? No, I know, but I.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Can't wait for us. I mean, these women watched us,
and then watch us now we knew nothing about social
media influencers. Whatever happened happened for us, and I feel blessed.
I mean, we have a podcast, we get to talk
about the show.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
What are you talking about? You got a guy listen,
you can talk about.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
It wasn't on the damn show. It was two years later.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah. Well, I'm waiting for the guy and it's his
two years later.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
So I don't coming.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I don't get this coming. This year, okay, twenty twenty
five or twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Six, No, twenty five, okay, But but as Frederic would say,
but these women did they all go for love? Kathy?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
You know what I'm well, I think as we keep
going through the season, everyone's motives are going to become
more clear. I think it's it's always Mel. I wouldn't
want to be in his shoes or in this case,
his sneakers for anything, because he is the guy that
(32:49):
has to judge these women and make choices. And you
know what I keep saying to you, I'm a woman
who supports women. I want them all to find love.
I want them all to find happiness. And next week,
you know, there's going to be more women going home.
But hopefully Mel is feeling more comfortable literally in his
(33:09):
sneakers and is letting loose and is going to start
opening up and let himself feel vulnerable.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
The loosest I've seen is in that kitchen with the
chef there like he was whipping. They looked like they
were having fun. They really did. That was the best part.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
But we'll see until next week.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Everybody enjoyed our comments and thoughts on this week's episode.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Let us know what you think. We're saying the same thing.
We want to know what you think. If you're enjoying
this season, We're with you, guys. We want Mel to
find love. We want everyone out there to find love.
So let us know what you're thinking. And until next week.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Yes, and be sure to follow Bachelor Happy Hour. We
have new episodes and we will talk about every episode
of this season, and so look forward to it.
