Speaker 1 (00:13):
Hey, it's I Do Part two.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
I am one of your celebrity mentors, Bob Guinea, and
I am in.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Beautiful Carmel, California.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
I believe it's my fifth or sixth year here with
this awesome trip for the Pebble Beach Pro Am Golf competition,
and of course with our iHeart family, and we have
two women that we love on this pod Pod Bless America.
It's Golden's Kathy Swartz and Cindy Colors. Welcome, ladies.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Hey, how are you?

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Thanks so much for I'm better now getting to talk
to you too. So okay, let's just talk about how
great this has been, right we have. We've had a
wonderful time. Did you guys get to do the shopping
always thing yesterday?

Speaker 3 (00:48):
This is my third time. I think I've been to
every store now in Carmel.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
I love it.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
It's my first and we have had such a good time.
Did you buy some good stuff?

Speaker 5 (00:56):
We all bought the same pants yesterday?

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Oh, very nice.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
It was the three women in the traveling pants.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Except I don't have to travel. We all take them home. Yeah,
there you go, it's perfect. Well, I loved it. I
know real quick. I know you're talking about this a
little bit last night. But uh you you two were
given an assignment by one of the producers. Probably if
I if I had to guess which producer, I bet.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
I could guess which one she'd be right.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
And she gave you an assignment to try and each
grab some digits while you're out in the town cavorting.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
How did I go? Let's start.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Let's start with you, Sidney. Let's start with you. Were
you able to score some digits last week? Have no digits?
But I thought my I thought I had through today.
Oh yeah, if you can give you some today, I'll
get to okay, sound, we will do a follow up.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
We might have someone in an early lead.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
I guess you're say, apparently I gave out my digits
last night, and I was getting blown up by the
same uh same friends and family members that you were.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yep, So let's talk about this. What you did? You
give out your number? Did you get a number? What happened? No?

Speaker 3 (02:07):
I gave my number too. It was like three degrees
of separation whatever to a gentleman who you and I
were talking to him and his wife, Stephen Lee and
Stephen Lean at the bar and lovely people. And I,
of course always take every opportunity to say, do you
have any friends or family who are single?

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Right?

Speaker 3 (02:29):
And he said, actually I do, and took me over
and introduced me to this guy who's handsome, good looking guy.
And then Steve asked for my number, and then Steve
passed it on to him.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
So we'll say, oh, well, hey, dude, if you're listening,
fire up that phone, all right, give us a call.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
But now I've got another one yet two second called
me this morning. She has another one. He lives on
the golf course. Sweet, hey, zeus. So you know I
am in the early lead.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Here are we going to see this dude out there
that we're all going to a party house?

Speaker 1 (02:58):
He is on the course. Wait, we are going to
his house today for a party.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yes, that's confirmed that. I'm just waiting to hear from him.
Holy smokes, You're welcome.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Welcome.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
I can't wait to meet him. I will be vetting him.
I did tell Leanne would bring you by on. Yeah,
I will be properly vetting this man. You know. I
got to say, I think it's interesting because uh, times
have changed, right, I mean, I I meet women in
the old fashioned way I hand out flowers on TV shows.
But I happen to know that, you know, the dating

(03:28):
apps and all that kind of stuff. Have you two
ever done the apps thing?

Speaker 1 (03:32):
The day?

Speaker 4 (03:32):
I think I think everybody who's single has at least
tried it. Yeah, and some of us have gotten off
of it, right, some are still participating in Kathy Kathy.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
I'm it was a moment with my daughter where alcohol
was involved and she made me get on and I
am literally canceled it the next day.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Do you were you swiping? Did you do any swiping?

Speaker 6 (03:52):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (03:52):
I swiped a lot and a lot of these people
I think they're memes. I don't think they are real people.

Speaker 7 (03:58):
Oh really, lots of catfish, lots of cat fishing, lots
of bodies without clothes, shirts on, and yeah, you know,
holding beers in the bathroom kind of guys.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
And it's like people who are just wanting to get
attention and not really have a relationship.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Right, I could see that. I mean it's interesting. I
think if I were, you know, God forbid to ever
be single again. I don't know that you have.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
A best whyfe you will never be single again?

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah? Well, she gets kind of tired of my antics.
But I always think I often wonder like what would
I do? Would I go on a thing like that.
I don't think I would, only because I feel like
for me it'd be easier to But I say this,
but you're right, I mean, it's not easy to do.
I always think it maybe be easier to meet through
friends and family, right or whatever.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
But maybe now friends have known this for we both
lived in the same neighborhood for a long time. I've
lived in Austin for thirty years. So if somebody has
a single friend, I've probably exhausted that resource by.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Now exhausted that right. And she and I've been in
Austin twenty five plus.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Heres and Cindy, he has handed me all her rejects
and they haven't worked out either.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, okay, twice two million or so. Yeah, jeez, it's
tough out there, it is, right. Well, it's probably not
tough to meet I mean, it's going to sound inappropriate,
but it's probably not tough to meet.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Someone to hook up with.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
But it's probably tough to meet someone to actually have
a relationship with, right.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
I mean, I wouldn't say we're not meeting to hook
up any of them but for yourself. You can meet people,
and so you do, like have a couple of dates.
It's just getting past that second date, third date and
really looking at compatibility. You know, especially Kathy is a
unique person, right, I'm going to put a plug in

(05:42):
for her because it's going to take a really special
man to capture her attention and to make a good
partner for her. But when you do find a partner,
you're going to be the best partner. So I think
we're going to have to expand our search outside of Austin.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
How about I want to do to Carmel, California. We're starting,
we're gonna be walking the golf course. Right, there's a
lot of a lot of there's a lot of tall men,
very tall. Well in the particular circle you're hanging out,
and yes, we're all we're all tall drinks of water.
But yeah, I can see you know, you walk in
on the golf course, you think the golf course.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Would be a good place to meet.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
I mean, then why not? I think a lot of men,
single men are going to be out on this golf
course either, right, but how do we really know that
they're single?

Speaker 4 (06:23):
A lot of men at our age category have stopped
wearing their wedding rings even if they are married, and
I think they don't realize that they can get them resized,
just get the resizing on the ring, so they stop,
they stop wearing them, and then they give the signal
that they might be sing.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Cindy, how long do you think would take either one
of us to figure out if a guy is married?
Just take how many minutes that you guys two questions?
Yeah there you got, there, you got.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
I can see that.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
And the difference between Cindy and one of the differences
is she will give a guy like two or three days.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
We've talked about this.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
I can tell you, like the guy last night at
the bar, I locked eyes with him, and when you
brought me back in to meet Leanne and Steve brought
me over to meet him, that was the same guy
that I locked eyes with. But so I know really
quickly if I'm interested in somebody, I don't need to
go on two or three dates, right And I and I.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Don't dude, were you two friends before? Never met her?

Speaker 4 (07:20):
Never looking the same zip code. We have a couple
mutual friends, but not too many. But the first time
we met was when Kathy came to the mansion during
can put the Pajama party.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
And you were and that's when you were like everybody,
let's let's give three cheers for Mel's get on the
bel train the train, and then some people got off
with the train. Yes, yes they did, all right, So
let's talk about this when it comes to men, what
are your biggest ick things? I have the hardest time
saying ick, But what is your biggest ick and what
are your biggest turn ons?

Speaker 5 (07:53):
Wow?

Speaker 4 (07:54):
Okay, so a man who knows how to manage me
and handle me is my biggest turn on. Okay, somebody
knows how to like touch me appropriately, like move me around,
look at me. Oh that connection, I miss it. That
is the biggest turnout turn on? What about you, Kathy?

Speaker 3 (08:14):
My biggest turn on is probably a man who I meet,
looks me in the eye, smiles like that connection. That's
not a guy who and my biggest turn off. It
goes with that, because my biggest turn off is a
guy that I meet and all he wants to tell
me about is his money and his cars and his

(08:36):
It's superficial, superficial stuff. Because at our age, we've got
what we've got. I'm looking for a genuinely kind human
being who's interested.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
So not gonna be impressed by somebody.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
I mean, do I want a guy to have enough
money to take me to a nice restaurant and open
the door for me and you know, not put me
in his VW bug where my legs are coming through
the windshill. Yes, but that's not you know, it's not
that's not going to money is not going to make
the guy for me.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Right, I think that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Well, we've got Cosmo came out with twenty seven of
the biggest X. So the twenty oh wait see here
just came out with twenty seven men on their dating
X and non negotiables who some of them were expecting
sex on the first date. This individual said, maybe I'm
an anomaly, but that's not my initial desire when meeting someone.

(09:28):
It's actually to connect and build a bond first. Another
one here was being overly interested in my financial situation.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yep, so kind of like what you said. I think.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
For if this is coming from a guy saying, and right,
I think the guy it's interesting because you know, I
think there's a lot of people think certain things about guys, right,
And for a guy to say, expecting sex on the
first date would be a turnoff for him. That's interesting
to me. I get the being overly interested in my
financial situation. That's kind of like what we're talking about

(09:59):
last night, when and we were kind of hitting on
some different hot button topics. And if a woman, you know,
for me, when I was single, if I met a
woman and she would immediately be like, you know, so
what is this, I'd.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Be like, well, it's nothing. The hell are you talking about?
You know? And I was like, it is what it is.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
And I don't know what that is yet because I
met you fifteen minutes ago or whatever, or but I
would think of that same moment if someone were to
be like, so tell me about your you know, your portfolio, Like,
what the hell are you talking about? You know, there
are certain things I think would be major turnoffs in
that regard, and those are two of them. You already
kind of addressed that absolutely. Oh are there of you

(10:34):
cat ladies? I have two geriatric cats, geriatric cats, so
you're you. I am not a cat lady. They're not
a cat lady, but you're just taking care of some.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
I rescued these cats, I fostered them when they were
three weeks old, fostered them. Yeah, and they never left
now thirteen and a half and I love them. But
you know, to me, being a cat that has this
pejorative connotations and I am not that cat lady.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
There was a thing I saw a dating app profile
that was it went viral and I don't know if
any of you guys are I'm sure how they saw it,
but it was like this thing where the woman was like, Hi,
my name's Debbie. I am a nurse and I have
two cats and.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
I love them so much. I don't understand why men
don't like her. It's like, have you heard your story
about cats?

Speaker 2 (11:24):
You?

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yeah? Cats?

Speaker 2 (11:26):
For some reason there is You're right, there is quite
a thought process there with cats.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
I'll let it be known. I'm I'm putting it out
there right now.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
I'm not a crazy cat, not a crazy cat lady.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Oh, here you go.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
This is a good one. Here picks being fake right,
pictures being fake, filtered, faked or filter faked or filtered right.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
College And here's I just have to ask, that is
a huge turn off to me to go and meet
a man. And we've talked about this, Cindy, go and
meet a man, and literally this has happened to me.
I walk right by him because the guy that's there
does not resemble in any way the guy how we
portrayed himself in his.

Speaker 5 (12:17):
Do you FaceTime men before you meet them?

Speaker 3 (12:19):
I talked to them on the phone. Okay, maybe I
should do that.

Speaker 5 (12:22):
I think if you FaceTime then you would then you know,
see their real s.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
That's good question. Can I tell you what I do?
And this is a PSA for all single women. I
have a Google phone number, and when I it doesn't
matter where I meet him. Except for the guy last night,
I give him my real number. But I do make exceptions.
But with a Google phone number, you cannot find, you

(12:47):
cannot research, You cannot find your name, your address, anything
about you. With a cell number, you would not believe
how much information you can find out about selling. So so,
and I've taated a couple of guys. One guy, when
he called me said, because you have what happens is
they call you and they have to give their name
and you can choose to accept or reject the.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Oh okay, okay, so that's interesting.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
I had a guy who called and he when I answered,
he said, wait, what is this, and I explained that
my children are really concerned about my safety and it
was my kid's idea, and he said, yeah, well that's
not going to work for me. I said, it's been
so nice chatting click.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah. Yeah, you know that.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
It says a lot about a man who doesn't care
about your right, it's safety.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
You know, they should be as protective of as even
if they don't know us.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Right, that's.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
Offer me a guy that has a problem with a
Google phone.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Now I can see that. Oh it's interesting.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
There's there's two about texting on here that I think
are pretty interesting. One is being a slow Texter is
a nick to this guy. Everyone always has her phone
on him all the time. There are very few reasons
why it would take you a day to reply to me.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Can I have this guy's number?

Speaker 2 (13:55):
I'm just going to assume you're not interested? So that
was his thing. What do you think of that, Sime.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
I'm kind of busy, yeh.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
And when I'm with people, I try not to have
my phone out so there will be delays and when
I respond back to.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
You, well see that's kind of a thing too.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
That's a that's an age thing, right, because I think
younger people today like they never are they will set
their phone down that if it goes there in the
middle of a conversation, you're telling them something meaningful and
they're like texting. Whereas I love that. I love when
people like put their phone away and don't look at it.
I think that's pretty awesome. That's another rick for me.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
If I go out to dinner or have a drink
with a guy and his phone's there and he's checking
his phone, he'll never see me again.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah, well, yeah, it used to be that you would.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
There was like a three day rule, right, like if
you like someone and you can active that in three days.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
I can't wait days.

Speaker 5 (14:41):
Well, back in the answering machines, I have an answering machine.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Message, I can tell you.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
We talk about this women, my friends, my single friends,
and I'm much more. I'm just going to answer right now.
I'm not playing games. I think a day to wait,
a whole day. I think that's probably game playing, because
if you're not picking up your phone in a day,
then you're playing one.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
I do think what they're probably alluding to is playing games. Yeah, yeah,
how long it takes? And especially, don't you hate it
when although I people text you and you answer back
and you see the bubbles yea, and then they don't
send anything.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
I know you saw it. But here's my question. And
you are the guru. Bops, you tell us I'm the guru.
You are do the guys. If you answer right back,
when is now the chase over? Like, oh, no, she's
too weaker?

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Question? I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
I think if you're texting in the first place, you're
looking for a response, right, unless it's an informational text, right,
But if it's if I'm texting someone, If I'm texting someone,
I think I would like a response, you know, I mean, ultimately,
that's why you're sending them a message in the first.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
You know, you wouldn't think like, oh, she's pretty eager,
maybe she's too weak.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Now. I don't ever think things though. I'm a pretty
simple guy.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
I would say an hour or two is okay from
a standpoint of someone me toeking someone and then not
replying right away, or or you know, if life gets
in the way and they're busy, or if they have obligations.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
I totally get that.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah, But if we're in the middle of texting and
then all of a sudden that person just bails a
day later, I'm going to be kind of like, well,
screw this person.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
You know, I will tell on the dading app.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
I had a guy reach out to me and literally
it was probably forty minutes later he said Hi, I
didn't see it thirty forty minutes later and then he
wrote back, thanks for not answering.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
It's like.

Speaker 6 (16:32):
Texting question for you all that I have to ask,
as singles and a non single good morning and good
night texts, how are our feelings about that?

Speaker 5 (16:45):
Well, I've I.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Would say, are you from two situations?

Speaker 8 (16:49):
Right?

Speaker 2 (16:49):
So a good morning good night text from a guy?
Maybe you just met too much? Good morning again? We
just said that too much?

Speaker 4 (16:57):
You've just met, But it is nice sometime during the day, Hey,
thinking about you, you know, looking forward to having a
live chat later or dinner this weekender.

Speaker 5 (17:09):
You Wednesday or whatever.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
But I will tell you.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
It irritates me if even if I'm I have to
be in really deep like I met last night, he
can say good morning, good night?

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Can you tell? This a repeating thing?

Speaker 3 (17:22):
But no, Seriously, if if I don't know a guy, well,
I find it annoying. I really do find it annoying
if they're good morning, Kathy, thinking about you. I'm like,
I just met, we haven't even met, just talked, texted.
But what I do, and I told you this, I
have a new thing that I do when whether whatever
it is, when I meet a guy or this horrible

(17:44):
dating app that's about to expire. Thank god, I only
text a few times and then I say, you know,
why don't we chat on the phone. And I get
it so quickly. I can tell just by the conversation
if I want to go down the road.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, that's a good that's probably a good thing. I
would say.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
From a married guy perspective, the good morning and good
night texts, I would probably be welcoming of them, because
my wife completely ignores me.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Oh yeah she is.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
Well what I'm like, hold on, I'm going to defend
your fabulous wife. First of all, the poor thing is
sick as a dog and on the sofa, and I'm.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
Sure you sent her phone in her hand, and I'm like,
she's probably too weak to get up. She's too weak.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Oh, there's a nanny there, give me a break. Did
you send her get well flowers? I'm thinking of you.
I love Oh I sent her.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
You might be coming up on my dating now she's
gotta get well flight credit coming her way for missing
her flight.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
No, I would say, uh, I welcome it.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
I welcome a good morning organ night text, but it's
it's from a different place, like for example, like this morning,
I wanted to talk to my kids this morning before
they went to school. I want to check on my wife,
make sure she was feeling okay and that our or
nanny was there to help with the kids that get
him off to school and stuff, because we originally hired
her to be there for us being out of town.
But then when when Jessica was sick, I was like, well,

(19:08):
let's just keep Katrina there and she can help you,
you know.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
So so what a guy, I'm very sweet like.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
That's and next way, she doesn't expect flowers, right, totally kidding, No,
But I think it is different depending on your relationship
status with someone.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
But I will say that.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
In a relationship, I do prefer that the man send
the good morning good night.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
I don't like to initiate that. I feel like that's
something that the man should initiate.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
This is interesting, This is a question for me.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Do men want a woman that embraces her feminine side,
or do men like women that are always taking charge?
That's a loaded question to me because I am used
to very strong women in my life, my mom, my sister,
my wife. But I also I like it both ways.
I like her to occasionally allow me to take charge

(20:01):
and take the lead. But there are times when I'll say,
you know, where should go for dinner? And I don't
want her to say I don't care wherever.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
You want to go. That's not what I want. I
want to say Mexican. Yeah, awesome. But here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
That you just said that you talk about taking charge
feminine and you can address it, but femininity does not
necessarily it's not necessarily in contention or again, they don't
have to be exactly, they're the same. To me, A
strong woman is a feminine woman, sure, or Kenby doesn't

(20:32):
have to be. But to your question, I mean finding
where you want to go to dinner?

Speaker 4 (20:35):
That is probably one of the top fights that couples always, always, always,
so in that situation, if you don't want to pick,
is there a different way that you could bring it
out in your wife?

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, Like, for example, I'm thinking of chopsticks or tacos perfect.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah, it's like what you do with the two year old,
you know either or yeah, you always get me.

Speaker 4 (20:54):
And I can tell you from a feminine perspective, if
I wanted to pick a place, but I don't want
to take a place, I would say, I bet you
know exactly where I want to go to dinner tonight.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Right where do you think? What do you think? Where
do you think?

Speaker 4 (21:07):
I'm thinking Mexican or talking or a Mexican right, yeah,
And I can say, oh my gosh, that would be perfect.
And actually that sounds great. But I was thinking sushi.
But you're right, Mexican would be great. But no, no, babe,
let'sh no.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
I like that. Men.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
Let me just say, I've known a lot of men
who are not who want you. They want the woman
to say. They don't want to play that game. They
want Kathy, where do you want to go for dinner?
I'm not a foodie, so I really don't care. Yeah,
but I'm learning that I have to because men say
it annoys them. If you say I don't care, they
want you to. Well, I think it's yeah, I get that,

(21:42):
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Part if you if you genuinely could eat a twinkie
or have you know, a steak dinner. But if you
throw out a couple options, I think that's kind of nice,
and then you could still let the guy decide.

Speaker 8 (21:55):
Right.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
So it's like, well, I don't know, I would I
would like sushi or I would even love a steakhouse.
Either one would be great, awesome. Well let's go to
the stage. Oh no, no, no, no, you both have it
all wrong. What you want to do is say how
high do you want my heels tonight?

Speaker 5 (22:07):
Babe?

Speaker 1 (22:09):
That should determine where we go. That's nice. Oh nice.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Let me tell you something. Cindy has this scam down.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
It's not a game. It's a dynamic. It's a ying
and yang, it's a back and forth. It's a play
that I really enjoy. I really, it's I don't feel
it's a game. I think it should be how we
look a fun game? Yeah, relationship dynamic.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
You know, I agree with you because I think the
relationships should be fun, and they're not fun, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Exactly?

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yeah, we can probably have a lot of fun by ourselves.
You have to be with someone who you can't have
fun with, So it's like.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
And I will tell you that is so high on
my list. I have dated men.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
We talked about this, so it's like somebody who wrote
answers these questions.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
You were reading our minds.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
Men always say how I'm so funny and I make
them laugh?

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, you know what?

Speaker 3 (22:59):
I want? Guy that makes me laugh? Sure, I want
a guy who's playful. I want a guy who's fun.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
It's not enough for me to be fun and playful.
I need them to be that way.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Well, and you feed off of it a little bit too,
like as being someone who I love making people laugh.
It's like sometimes I want someone who gives as good
as it gets, you know, and then I can be like, Okay,
I got a partner here.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
This is gonna be fun.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, and it can be a romantic relationship of friendship
whatever it is. Still, I still want someone to make
me laugh too.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
But your kids get older and you have it with
your kids. Yeah, Oh, I mean you probably already do.
I dynamic my boys are pretty funny kids.

Speaker 8 (23:31):
I gotta be honest, all right.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
So brand new year ahead, Right, We're in February, so
we've got ten months to go.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Eleven months if you count February.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
I guess, what are some of your goals like for
each of you, Like if you have some goals around dating,
around relationships, just you know, it doesn't have to necessarily
be a romantic relationship, but around what you want to
accomplish this year from a standpoint of putting your heart
out there.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
Well, I have to get some digits today, you do.
I have to get two sets of digits today. So
that's goal number one. Yes, you know, I don't really
I don't really play the New Year's resolution thing. Last year,
you know what I did? It actually was such a
great idea depended on TikTok. All things good on TikTok.
I did a Bingo card. So instead of having a
set of resolutions, I put together a Bingo card of

(24:28):
all the things that I wanted to accomplish. Some were professionals,
some were personal, some were seeing my children, some were
learning how to arrange flowers, and I put them in
little blocks on the Bingo card and I would cross
them out. Such a great sense of accomplishment. But you
hit all the I hit all the categories of my life.

Speaker 7 (24:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (24:45):
Actually I did it.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
After I got off the show as well, because I
kind of felt like I needed something to stable sure
and to recharge yourself a little to get it.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
That's a great Yeah, I'm a little bit. I also
do not make New Year's resolutions. I think every day
is a brand new day and if you don't like something,
today's the day to change it.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
So that's how I live my life.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
But for dating, for me, believe it or not, as
outgoing as I am, I have a really hard time
initiating going up to a man or.

Speaker 5 (25:13):
Oh no, no, oh no.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
We traveled together here, so we live in Austin, but
we don't live together.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
You say this, This was my quote unquote New Year's
resolution to force myself to do it. And I've done
it a couple of times. It gets somewhere, but I'm
telling you I've done it like twice, and I'm so
my goal is kind of to do that, to go
up and say hello, and you know, it doesn't go anywhere.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
I'm no worse off and it might go somewhere.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
So but I feel like you're like me though, Kathy,
Like I talk to everybody. So it's like said, you know,
at the end of the day, is a guy standing
next to me, like, Hey, how you doing.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
Man, It's not like I do hit, but see if
I'm interested. Absolutely, you and I are very similar. I
have never met a stranger. But if I like that
guy last night, then it was a little bit more
tentative because sikes were a little hot, stakes are a
little hot.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Interesting.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
But I still do it and I didn't used to
do that, So that's kind of my dating.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
You're doing well, yeah, I mean you're taking up the
pace today.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
I'm going to just see if I can like push
you out of the contest totally.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
And just you know, when I.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Was single, so my wife used to say this about
me because we were really kind of like friends with
benefits before we were dating.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Well, then she loves you putting that out. She knows.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
But I was always so noncommittal, right, and she would go,
you just like flirt with everybody. I'm like, yeah, but
it was true, like I'd be like, hey, how you doing,
and it was and so I was never thinking. I
was never putting too much on it. Like it wasn't
like I was trying to sleep with this girl. And
that's why I'm going to talk to her, right, I
was just talking to her and if it went somewhere else.
Great if it didn't, I'm totally fine with that too.

Speaker 4 (26:51):
Will they say, that's really important when you have any
conversation to forget about the outcome. You're not doing it
with the intent of I'm going to get a date
from this. I'm going to have a friend from this. Like,
just forget the outcome, Just enjoy people.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Enjoy the moment and be in the moment right, and
put your phone down and be in the moment right,
But make sure you.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Text back in ten minutes exactly. Yeah, don't.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
I just kidding, all right, So, uh, let's ask for
some advice here. You two obviously masterful at.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
The game of dating.

Speaker 5 (27:21):
I'm still single.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Well, that's because that chicly until yeah, only until the
end of today, That's right. If you have people out
there that are listening that are are just ready to
give up on love, right, they're just like, I'm done.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Don't don't give up on love. It's it's every day,
you know.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
I'm gonna be honest, I don't like when people say
manifest that's almost a four letter word to me at
this point. Sure, I just believe, if believe that's my
work for twenty twenty six belief. Just live your life
with intention, enjoy who you are, and and good things

(28:01):
and bad things will come into your life. But don't
give up, because you're not even giving yourself an opportunity
if you give up. And there's so much I mean,
I'm just so grateful for every day of my life
that I thoroughly enjoy every day, and good people come
into my life and great opportunities come into my life.
But if you sit home and say I give up,

(28:22):
it's not in my vocabulary.

Speaker 4 (28:24):
I just also enjoy this season of being single, right, Yeah,
don't continue to put a really long winner. It's a
very long season sometimes and sometimes a short win. But
you know, if it ends, you will probably miss this time.
I was at church the other day. I've told this
story a couple of times. There was a man like
man spreading. He was like, legs apart, touching my leg.

(28:45):
I'm a stranger. He's making all these noises.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
I'm like, you forget, Did you give me your digits?
Did not give No.

Speaker 5 (28:52):
He was with his family, but yeah, even weirder.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
So sometimes it's okay to be single, and we should
just appreciate the love that we have in our life
and if it's not the partner love, still be open
to it, but don't rely on it again, let go
the outcome.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
And I would add to that, love yourself. Just now, downstairs,
one of the men who works at this hotel said
to me, do you have a hard time dating? I
don't know why, he asked me, and I said, you know,
I gave the answer, and then he said, well, you
know what there is You're fabulous.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
There is a guy out there for you.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
And I looked at him and I said, I hope
there is, but if there isn't, I'm still happy. It's
being happy with who you are regardless. A man is
not going to make me complete. I am complete, you
we are all complete. It's finding someone that adds to
your life, right, That's that's you know.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
A great former bachelor once said, it's amazing what a
difference a year makes.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Right, Yeah, I think he even wrote a book sounds
like sounds I think it's.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
I think it's this guy that's really smart and has
a fabulous he's so funny.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
So I.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Say that because I was in like, you know, I
was going through a divorce.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
I'm like, what is going on? And then all of
a sudden.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
A year later, I'm sitting on Oprah's couch and everyone
wants me to be the bachelor.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Right, And so that's what I did.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
But it was kind of interesting because when you let
go of the outcome and when you just embrace the
fact that, you know what, I'm a good person, and
I know that, you know, if somebody's out there, I'll
find them, and if they're not, I'm fine with myself.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
I'm perfectly happy, right.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
And it's amazing if you give yourself that grace and
allow yourself to, you know, just sort of embrace life
and do whatever you got to do to wake up
every day and put a smile on your face and
get out there and say hi to a couple of people.
It's amazing the great things that can come your way.

Speaker 4 (30:49):
I remember telling my kids when they're in middle school,
everybody has to take that public speaking class.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
I taught it.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
You tell me this, I told my kids all the time.
Nobody wants to watch a nervous speaker. It's so uncomfortable
for everyone to watch that. And no one wants to
look at a desperate dater. Now you can tell those
people who are desperate to have a relationship. Live your life,
be happy, be confident in who you are, and that's

(31:16):
so much more attractive. It's so much more alluring and magnetic.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
But even but see, even when you said that, Cindy,
it's it's it's and I know this isn't what you mean,
but it sounds like you're saying that to attract someone.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
I'm saying, lively happy.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
With yourself for yourself, not for the attraction of other people,
because because if you're happy with yourself, that radiates and
that and that's something I've learned actually since my husband died.
Uh And and so I do it for me, you know,
I wake up and put a smile on my face
for me. Yeah, I think it's a great way to

(31:50):
live your life. Well, guys, I love you both. This
has been really great for me.

Speaker 5 (31:54):
We we love you too.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
And I know that you have to run because you
have to call you your wife and find out what
she wants for Balentine's Day.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, yes, for sure, some digits do we have to
give or get digits?

Speaker 1 (32:17):
I think we're good either way.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
It's just digit digital change.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
So you have to get theirs and give. Well, no,
I don't have to get digits. We have to yeah,
give or get Yes.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
Well, you know, I'm going to be at a party
on the course, so I hope he has friends.

This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
