Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the almost famous podcast with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hey everybody, it's Trista and I'm coming at you from
the almost famous OG podcast. We are in Lake Tahoe
with Verbo. If you have never used Verbo, I highly
highly recommend private vacation rentals, luxury vacation rentals all over
the world. And the best part is the early bird
(00:27):
is not the only one who gets the worm. If
you're a procrastinator, you can be very happy because Verbo
has last minute deals for private vacation rentals, so look
them up. The place we are staying at is gorgeous,
the pool out back, gorgeous hot tub, the view, but
most of all the company. I have to say that
(00:50):
we have had such unincredible week weekend so far with
the first annual because I just found out we're going
to do this every year. Yes, it was my idea
and I'm so excited about it because I love pickleball
and I love my podcast family. So anyway, we have
(01:14):
had a great time in Tahoe, And what I was
going to say is the best part about it is
the people, and I am here with one of them.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Teresa.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Welcome Teresa from Golden Bachelor gosh, thank you so much, Christa.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I'm so happy to be here. Thank you, happy to
have you.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Okay, so we've played pickleball before together, Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
At your wedding.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
And so I know you've played before, But have you
played since then?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
No, that was the last time. Okay, I wonder why
now I play from time to time? Okay, then I'll play,
and then I go four weeks without playing. Yes, there's
no consistency, right, So someday I might get good if
I play. I continue to play. So you're you did great?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
You did great. You were partnered with Leslie in the beginning, right, yes,
and then you actually got partnered with my heavy.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It was a thrill. I loved it so much. It
was a thrill.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
He sure had a fun time. I think it was
in that game that he smacked the ball and smacked
Are you right in there?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I tell he swore he did not mean that I
saw it.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I kind of believe him. Uh. Anyway, have you had
a good time?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Oh? This has been the most incredible week. I have
loved every single moment of this. I've met people that
I will be friends with for hopefully for the rest
of my life. Like who I just oh, Cally, I love.
Oh my gosh, she thinks I am the most incredible photographer,
she said. She was on the way back from the boat.
(02:55):
She goes, you know what, I have a really gorgeous
bikini on. She stripped down. I take my photo and
she's she's bragging about me everywhere. Oh my god, look
at She's so great.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
She is so generous in terms of like so complimentary
because she's a literal freaking supermodel, like literal supermodel, and
she's like complimenting you on your photography. I know, she's amazing.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And Deanna and Jen and everyone on and on and on.
So I was I've been smiling this entire It's been
so good.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Me too. I love it.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Okay, so.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Do you I know you had you were with a
man who played pickleball? Is there any PTSD there, like
would you date someone?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, I'm wiping that from my mind completely. Okay, good. Yes, absolutely,
I want to be active and this is just so
much fun. So absolutely, I.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Feel like it is so fun and you can do
it at any age. I mean I learned from probably
the age age range of my teachers was seventy to
eighty years old. Really, I'm not kidding. They taught me
so much about how to play pickle and so much
about what is fun about it, like the social elements,
(04:22):
like girl time, I mean even couple time, couple's time.
You know. I just love it for all of those reasons.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I have a confession. Oh, before we played, I watched
some pickleball videos and I was getting so confused. Here's
the five tips and tricks on pickleball that. Yeah, I'm saying,
how do I remember all of this?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I don't know if I It's really hard to remember.
It is complicated, but you'll get it the more you play.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's like anything, Okay, right, I trust here.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
The more you play, the better, easier to come. Easier
it will come. Sorry, I've had some wine. Okay. So
Bachelor in Paradise have you been watching? Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Absolutely, I've been watching. I love it so much. And
I was so fortunate to go visit Leslie again and
so I got to see the first her episode when
she had a date with Gary, and I was thrilled
for her, and thrilled for all the women who were
on of course, and all the men and so and
(05:24):
we while we were here, we watched episode five and
we watched part of it last night and part of
it this morning, and it's just I absolutely love it.
I think it's so good, you know what. I like
a lot the captions that they have under everyone and
like days and confused. Yeah, it's like it's so clever
(05:45):
and photography is gorgeous. Absolutely, Isn't it said that?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Okay? So Bob and I were talking about it when
it first started, I think after the first episode, so
we recapped the second episode, and there are people in
Bachelorne who are definitely pureists, like they want to see
the same thing happen every season, right, And I think
because it's not in the same location and it's kind
(06:10):
of a different vibe, like some people are maybe thinking,
why don't you go back to how it was? For
I love it. I think that the cinematography or videography
or whatever you want to call it is really beautiful.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I keep saying that, like, oh my god, look at
that job. I think it's beautifulful, And you know, it
might be so much at once for people to take. Yeah,
they don't like change, right, but it's these are all great, creative,
incredible ideas, yes, and they're executed so well.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
So yeah, I'm really enjoying it. And I love the
captions too. There was one where Zoe said I'm so
Gucci or I'm Gucci, and then in the caption it
said Zoe is not Gucci. So cute. I love how clever.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And then the sequences.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Well, I don't know about the dream stuff. I'm not.
I wasn't such a huge fan because I'm like, listen,
these guys are not actors and actresses. We don't need
them to be playing out like a scene from a movie.
I just want to know what's happening for me at least.
But I get that, you know, some people enjoyed them. Yeah,
(07:23):
I just want to know. I guess I'm a purist
in that way. Is that it's all about the development
of the relationships for me.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I gotcha. But okay, the Leslie with the rose in
her mouth, okay, yeah, and then Gary, Oh they did
a dream sequence. Yes, I haven't seen that. Oh, okay,
I it's good.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
No, it's fine, don't you're not It doesn't It doesn't matter.
I mean, I know what has happened since I just
watched it myself.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Okay, I get you not appreciating that, but yeah, I
do I'm embracing all of the changes, love them.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Good for you. Is there part of you that wishes
you were there, that had that you had done it?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You know what? Just a little bit in the beginning,
but really not. Ok Then, I'm just applauding them, and
I want them to have their day in the sun
and enjoy it and just enjoy watching them. So no,
I just I'm applauding them all and reading for them.
And yeah, I think I'm okay with it. Okay, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Because were you asked to be on it?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I was. I was asked to be on it. I
went through the whole process, all right, and you know,
they ask you who you would like to be with,
and I just couldn't. I couldn't see myself with anyone,
and I didn't want to take anyone away from anyone
if that were to happen. So, you know, I just didn't.
(08:44):
I wanted to be true to myself, and so I'd
rather just watch it and enjoy it. And I've been
doing that.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Love that. So let's talk about that for a second,
because I feel like we mentioned it when we first
saw each other. This week. It's hard because Bachelor in
(09:10):
Paradise is full of people from the shows, and there
have been a lot of Bachelor's and bachelorettes that they
can draw from. There have not been a lot of Goldens,
so they only have a small population of people to
draw from from either Golden Bachelor or Golden Bachelerette. There's
only been one season for each, so that is hard
(09:33):
because you know, not everyone can leave and dedicate the
summer to you know, Bachelor in Paradise. And also a
lot of the people from the shows are in relationships
since they were on the show.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, right, right, right, So many of the men are
in relationships. Yeah, so there weren't that many men left.
And then April goes and chooses Jonathan, so that took
another Golden person away.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah, you are so right.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
So many of the men, thank thankfully found partners for sure,
and they're so happy.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
And so it was the hope that maybe there would
be other people. Yeah, so far there haven't been.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, so well, hopefully there will be. Hopefully there will be. Yeah,
you know, obviously we know there's a Golden Bachelor coming up,
coming up, and hopefully there will be another Golden Bachelorette,
and then maybe there will be another bachelor.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
So many people, and if I go on, there'll be
so much competition. That's right.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Would you do it in the future, I would?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Okay, I would do it in the future.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
If they do it again, I'd be.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
The only I'd be the only seventy three year old
continuing with all these sixty year olds. Stop to arrest
my progression of my agent. Would we all like to
do that?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I would? Okay? So who are you rooting for? Which
couple are you rooting for? For the all? I know,
I know what the answer is, but let's tell.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Me and Gary rooting for them? Of course? And like
Gary is so charismatic, like he's really so to speak,
commanding the stage. He's got all eyes on him. Okay, good,
and so many Like I said, I haven't seen him,
okay good? And so yeah, he I don't know if
(11:23):
he's surprised by it, but he just came in and
there was an immediate attraction with Leslie. So I'm rooting
for them. And then I know that Kathy and Keith
are together, so maybe they'll be together, okay, And I well,
Nancy did go on a date with Gary, so I
could be wrong about Gary. And Leslie could be Gary
(11:45):
and Nancy. Okay, right, Faith just came on, right, so
she could be with someone. Is there's still and I
can't wait to see.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I'm really expection. Who do you think is approaching the
Paradise experience the best.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Way in among anyone in the enter anyway?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
You can talk about the young Bucks or the Goldens.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
So I really do love Kat Yeah, she's doing I mean,
she's got she seems to have her head on straight, right,
and so when she approaches down with what she's concerned about,
uh huh, he keeps on veering off track and she
gets in back to center. Yep, I'm looking at Jonathan saying,
(12:32):
what is Jonathan's role in this? Like, is he seems
like a wandering guy? What is he looking for? What's
his end game here?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Stirring the pot?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, he's stirring the pot. You know. Kathy plays a
really good role. She's doing things that she's never done before,
like taking a shot that was really nice, right, yeah,
I mean all of and then yeah, so many of
the young people. I'm intrigued. I'm just intrigued by the
relationships and oh my gosh, did you see the scene
(13:02):
with the birds and they're costumes. Oh my god, they're incredible.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I've seen the credible urgeons.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Really, I mean they each one out did the other.
And then beautiful, my gosh, Brian. So there was a
scene with Brian and his partner Parisa beautiful and they
do get the sweet and so they're on two different pages.
So Parisa starts by asking him what's your favorite color?
(13:33):
Really just to break the ice, but his head is,
you know what, we're not doing that, We're not doing it,
and he wanted to have this just completely romantic, and
I think most people are siding with Parisa, and I
really do see Brian's point in this.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I see sad. It's it's really good, Okay, amazing. What
about the money? Since I haven't watched what's has Jesse
said anything more about the money? And what do you
think about it?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Now? All he said is that it's going to get
to that point, but he really hasn't explained exactly. Like
it's so frustrating. There's so little reveals about it. It's
intriguing that you're going to someone is actually going to
win half a million dollars, but they don't say how
they get there.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
They haven't told us. How so what do you think
about that? Do you think that that contained like a
romantic relationship, especially one that just started.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I think it probably does. I think that they're trying
to test the relationships to see which relationship is the
real deal and what's the true relationship. Yeah, so I
think that I know that in the previews they do
say Okay, from now on, there will be no more
new people. So the couple you're, the person you're with,
is the person you're going to be with, and you're
going to face every challenge with this program it. So
(14:53):
I would imagine you eventually get to the point where
you're considered for the half million dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Maybe it's changing from Bachelor in Paradise to like Bachelor
Pad after they have solidified the relationships and then they
compete as a team for the money.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, and that was a It seems to be a
complete surprise to everyone who's on the show, right, that
wasn't total to them beforehand. So imagine just being told okay,
now you could possibly win amazing.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Let me bring up something that I don't know if
I just don't know this because I haven't watched, but Susie,
I feel like just posted something on Instagram saying I
just found out about the money, Should I go back?
Something like that. I don't know if she was asking
or if she's going back. She hasn't gone back, she
has not gone Okay, I wonder if they're going to
ask people to go back.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Oh my god. Oh I didn't think of that.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Wow, like anybody who have who has already gone home.
But if they can go back and maybe be part
of the money.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
That would not be fair. I would not get there.
You made the choice to go home. No, I don't
think you should come back. You should not be able.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Well they didn't make a choice, they didn't know.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah, but Jeremy. Okay, So Jeremy regretted not giving the rose.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Oh yes, I agree, yes, And oh my gosh, that's
kind of I love it. I mean, of course I
love all things Bachelor at what everything, I've watched everything,
and so it's kind of like a family to me.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
So yeah, yeah, I love No, I love it too,
so yeah. So oh yeah, So Jeremy and Bally are together,
and it's they have to be seen if they'll stay together.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yeah, yeah, well you have to be seen if everyone
to keep up, if you had to sum up your
dating life, right now, give me three words for what
that would be.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Oh, it's I'm open, okay to dating. Yeah, I'm I'm
really not actively pursuing.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
You're not at I.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Am not actively inactive okay? So no, inactive right? No,
So I'm not on a dating website, which is what
I consider actively pursuing it, okay, And I'm very happy
with my life.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
So wait, you think active is being on a dating website.
That's interesting to me, I guess I do. Yeah, So
you don't think the dating is like just meeting someone
out and about in your town.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Well, that's what I'm doing, Okay, So that's not inactive. No.
All I would say is that I'm extremely open to it.
I do want it. I do want a man in
my life. Yeah. I do think that having a partner
in this world is just really wonderful. And I don't
really want to live the rest of my life alone.
I don't want to do that. And so I'm just
(17:34):
saying that I'm doing it more with just an open mind,
going out into the world and maybe putting it out
there and telling people. Because now when people approach me
in the street and they just say hi. You know
that's I think it's the most wonderful thing in the
world that they say, Oh, we're so sorry, we didn't
mean to bother you, but it's never a bother. Yes,
(17:54):
it's been the greatest thing to meet new people and
so even to tell them and people have been saying, oh,
I know somebody. Oh I'm just hoping like that could
have happened, right, for sure, it could happen.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Please. I met my husband inter national television show and
we've been married for twenty two years.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
So yeah, no, and you met somebody that you shared Yes,
I did a great relationship with for a while.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, I did. It can happen.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
It can happen. If they did another season of The
Golden Bachelorette, Yeah, would you be interested in that role?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Oh? Absolutely, really interested? Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Absolutely, you're throwing your name in the ring.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I'm throwing it in the ring.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Okay, okay. And would you do anything differently than the
way that Joan did it?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah? I would, Okay, how you know, I probably would.
I would be open to kissing a lot more, okay, Yeah,
and exploring it with each person and maybe being really
flirtatious and having a lot of fun. I know that
she held back and maybe she, you know, was concerned
about her family seeing her kissing someone. I'm really I'm
(19:17):
really open to that, and I'm affectionate and I would
like to see that and explore that. And yeah, I would.
I would get such a kick out of it. It
would be so much fun. Yeah, that'd be great.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Well, hopefully they'll do it. Oh, you know, I hope so,
I hope that from Golden Bachelor they will.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to Golden Bachelorette to the
Golden Bachelor.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Are you what are you? What are your thoughts on him?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Oh? You really want to know my thoughts? You guys
were well, okay, so you know that. Unfortunately, he did
say something, Yeah, tell us what age? He said that
his preferred age range was forty five to sixty. Yeah,
I guess he didn't realize that the minimum age was sixty.
And you know what, I do want to say this
that if you look at all of the men who
(20:02):
are on Jones season, they are all with much younger women,
and I just think that's the way of the world.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
You mean, the men who are now in relations.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
And relationships, Yes, and it's not that I haven't been
approached by young men, but yeah, much younger men. It
seems like much younger men, which wouldn't work whatsoever. Yeah,
so you don't think you don't think that would work?
Oh no, like a thirty year old, that's what I
don't know. I don't think. So they can't be younger
than my son. I have a son from forty eight.
(20:32):
I can't be younger than my son. Got it? But yeah,
so he said that, But I think that when he
sees these women are gorgeous just down, yes, juftain gorgeous,
and I'm sure they're delightful and intelligent. Yes, And it's
going to make for such an interesting show. And so
he's going to say, oh, they're beautiful. Oh and I
(20:55):
didn't realize and how great they are.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah, he's What would you have said to him if
you were in that room with him when we said that,
I would have.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Said, yeah, absolutely, you shouldn't want a data as sixty
year old, because you know, I'm a seventy year old.
I've got this wrinkly skin and I've got no muscle tone,
and I'm just ugly, and we're all ugly. Absolutely shouldn't.
So I was just say, oh my.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
God, mel Yeah, I don't think that was that was Yeah,
I heard about that, and yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I mean it's a thing. It just seems like it's
a thing.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
So for him, for him, yeah, I think it's unfortunate
because I think there is so much beauty in women
who you know, like obviously it showed where his values are. Yeah,
and I hope that after that that it opened his
eyes to agism and to looking at women differently and
(21:56):
knowing that a beautiful woman doesn't have to be wrinkle
free and you know, with no gray hair and no
hip replacements or whatever. He said, you know, like with
all their joints intact right, and it's right.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
It's just like prejudice in any other thing.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I know. I completely agree and like to prejudge based on.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Their age, on their age, or their color or their sexuality.
Just take each person for who they are and just
look at the beauty of that person, right, and doesn't matter, right,
I mean of people. And if that was a problem
for him that he wanted someone in shape, it could
be of any age and beautiful any age.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
And I know people in their seventies that are really fit.
So okay, you know what I mean like that, No,
I'm going to be seventy two.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
In a week, so and happy early birthday. Oh thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
You look beautiful. I mean, like, I think that I
really hope that he arrived at the Bachelor Mansion and
saw these women and thought, oh, I really put my
foot in my mouth.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
And I hope that he apologizes. Yeah, and it's on
the show. I agree with you. I hope that they
they face that head on and they address that issue
the better and he apologizes. They better not to ignore
it because the whole world saw it. And I think that,
you know, he probably didn't even realize that that was
going to be seen anywhere, and.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Well it wasn't it was wasn't it a podcast?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Right?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah? Like whatever, Like he should know. He should know
he's speaking on a public platform and anything you say
will be picked up, you know, like and go viral
or whatever. So you he he if.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
He knew, if he didn't know, he knows, now, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I mean, I'm sorry if you think that you're going
on television and people aren't going to pick up what
you say on a podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
And I would say anybody who says they're not going
to watch it because of that, I think they're going
to watch.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I think, yeah, you're because they want to know what
he was going to do. But ages is a thing.
It is a very sad thing. I specifically remember Joan
saying on Golden Bachelor that she felt invisible, and I
hate that. I feel that. I feel that at fifty two,
(24:14):
you know, when you're surrounded by like younger people, and
even if you have you know, high vibrations or whatever,
I feel like I can feel myself becoming invisible as
I get older. So I hate that. I hate that
for anyone who feels that way, and for him to
(24:34):
make women who are older than sixty feel invisible more
so because of what he said, it just hurt. It
like makes me really sad. So I really hope he
learned his lesson.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
And I will tell you being here this week with
younger people, yeah some of these people were my son's age.
Yeah are my son's age, and they treated us like themselves.
There was no age difference whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Good.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
I didn't feel like I was an outsider. I felt
like I was one of everyone and I and that
was so wonderful. Yeah, that makes me happy.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, okay, a new season of Dancing with the Stars
is coming. Would you ever want to be on that show?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah? No, but I couldn't. I couldn't. I have to
tell you why because Leslie. Okay, tell me, Leslie wants
it so badly, and there's no way that I would
get if someone asked me, I go no, no, just
get it to Leslie. Oh that's sweet.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Do you know I was on the show.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Oh my god, no I did. I'm sorry, don't apologize
you were.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
I was. I was the very first one ever kicked.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Oh my god, that's it. Why? Oh my god? After
how many? How many weeks?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Oh lord? I just did two two weeks congrastration, there
were six of us, okay, and now it's like fifteen
twenty people. So there were only six of us because
they really didn't know if it was going to fly,
if it was going to be something that people would watch.
I was a dancer, like a professional dancer. I dance
(26:13):
for the my wo and yeah, I got beat in
a dancing competition by Evander Holyfield.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Wow, It's totally fine. I loved the experience, so I
can say if Leslie passes it up for some reason,
and you get asked, if they're going to ask, you
should do it because it really was incredible. It must
be an incredible experience.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
It's incredible.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
But I will say I feel like back in the
day when it first started, it is definitely not as
labor intensive as it is now. Like they rehearse I
feel like twenty hours a day, not a week day.
And I think that Louis would come, my partner would
(27:05):
come to Veil on his own dime, and we would have,
you know, a few rehearsals, and then he would go
back to Utah and then we'd go to La maybe
a day or two before the show. It was so stressful.
I wish I would have had the rehearsal time. But
(27:28):
at the same time, I was kind of a newly
married woman. I wanted to still spend time with my husband,
and at that time, my partner was not out as
gay he is now. But there was like, you know,
this whole thing, this whole dynamic about your dancing very
seductively with a man with another man, and you know,
(27:48):
we were newly married, you know, for a couple of years,
and it's stressful in that regard, but it is so
much fun if you like things out of your boss,
out of your normal comfort zone or out of the box.
I think that it is such an incredible experience.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
So if you're at the opportunity, oh my god, it
must should be such an feel like such an accomplishment
to do something like that.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah, well, when you get kicked off first, you don't
really feel like it's.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
An accomplishment today. That's great, No, it did.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It did feel good to actually learn something new.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Yeah, and I know that other women on my show
would love to be on it. I'm sure so. And
I would root for anyone who got on, and I
would love to be in the audience and cheer them on.
Of course, anybody who wants says, go for it. Does
anybody gets offered, Yes, go for it?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yeah for sure? Okay, awesome. Well, thank you Teresa so
much for Thanks everybody for listening to the almost famous
OG podcast.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Thank you so much, testing, thank you, it's been a pleasure.
This is the almost famous podcast with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hey everybody, it's Trista and I'm coming at you from
the almost famous OG podcast. We are in Lake Tahoe
with Verbo. If you have never used Verbo, I highly
highly recommend private vacation rentals, luxury vacation rentals all over
the world. And the best part is the early bird
(00:27):
is not the only one who gets the worm. If
you're a procrastinator, you can be very happy because Verbo
has last minute deals for private vacation rentals, so look
them up. The place we are staying at is gorgeous,
the pool out back, gorgeous hot tub, the view, but
most of all the company. I have to say that
(00:50):
we have had such unincredible week weekend so far with
the first annual because I just found out we're going
to do this every year. Yes, it was my idea
and I'm so excited about it because I love pickleball
and I love my podcast family. So anyway, we have
(01:14):
had a great time in Tahoe, And what I was
going to say is the best part about it is
the people, and I am here with one of them.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Teresa.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Welcome Teresa from Golden Bachelor gosh, thank you so much, Christa.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I'm so happy to be here. Thank you, happy to
have you.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Okay, so we've played pickleball before together, Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
At your wedding.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
And so I know you've played before, But have you
played since then?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
No, that was the last time. Okay, I wonder why
now I play from time to time? Okay, then I'll play,
and then I go four weeks without playing. Yes, there's
no consistency, right, So someday I might get good if
I play. I continue to play. So you're you did great?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
You did great. You were partnered with Leslie in the beginning, right, yes,
and then you actually got partnered with my heavy.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It was a thrill. I loved it so much. It
was a thrill.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
He sure had a fun time. I think it was
in that game that he smacked the ball and smacked
Are you right in there?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I tell he swore he did not mean that I
saw it.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I kind of believe him. Uh. Anyway, have you had
a good time?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Oh? This has been the most incredible week. I have
loved every single moment of this. I've met people that
I will be friends with for hopefully for the rest
of my life. Like who I just oh, Cally, I love.
Oh my gosh, she thinks I am the most incredible photographer,
she said. She was on the way back from the boat.
(02:55):
She goes, you know what, I have a really gorgeous
bikini on. She stripped down. I take my photo and
she's she's bragging about me everywhere. Oh my god, look
at She's so great.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
She is so generous in terms of like so complimentary
because she's a literal freaking supermodel, like literal supermodel, and
she's like complimenting you on your photography. I know, she's amazing.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And Deanna and Jen and everyone on and on and on.
So I was I've been smiling this entire It's been
so good.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Me too. I love it.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Okay, so.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Do you I know you had you were with a
man who played pickleball? Is there any PTSD there, like
would you date someone?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, I'm wiping that from my mind completely. Okay, good. Yes, absolutely,
I want to be active and this is just so
much fun. So absolutely, I.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Feel like it is so fun and you can do
it at any age. I mean I learned from probably
the age age range of my teachers was seventy to
eighty years old. Really, I'm not kidding. They taught me
so much about how to play pickle and so much
about what is fun about it, like the social elements,
(04:22):
like girl time, I mean even couple time, couple's time.
You know. I just love it for all of those reasons.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I have a confession. Oh, before we played, I watched
some pickleball videos and I was getting so confused. Here's
the five tips and tricks on pickleball that. Yeah, I'm saying,
how do I remember all of this?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I don't know if I It's really hard to remember.
It is complicated, but you'll get it the more you play.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's like anything, Okay, right, I trust here.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
The more you play, the better, easier to come. Easier
it will come. Sorry, I've had some wine. Okay. So
Bachelor in Paradise have you been watching? Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Absolutely, I've been watching. I love it so much. And
I was so fortunate to go visit Leslie again and
so I got to see the first her episode when
she had a date with Gary, and I was thrilled
for her, and thrilled for all the women who were
on of course, and all the men and so and
(05:24):
we while we were here, we watched episode five and
we watched part of it last night and part of
it this morning, and it's just I absolutely love it.
I think it's so good, you know what. I like
a lot the captions that they have under everyone and
like days and confused. Yeah, it's like it's so clever
(05:45):
and photography is gorgeous. Absolutely, Isn't it said that?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Okay? So Bob and I were talking about it when
it first started, I think after the first episode, so
we recapped the second episode, and there are people in
Bachelorne who are definitely pureists, like they want to see
the same thing happen every season, right, And I think
because it's not in the same location and it's kind
(06:10):
of a different vibe, like some people are maybe thinking,
why don't you go back to how it was? For
I love it. I think that the cinematography or videography
or whatever you want to call it is really beautiful.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I keep saying that, like, oh my god, look at
that job. I think it's beautifulful, And you know, it
might be so much at once for people to take. Yeah,
they don't like change, right, but it's these are all great, creative,
incredible ideas, yes, and they're executed so well.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
So yeah, I'm really enjoying it. And I love the
captions too. There was one where Zoe said I'm so
Gucci or I'm Gucci, and then in the caption it
said Zoe is not Gucci. So cute. I love how clever.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And then the sequences.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Well, I don't know about the dream stuff. I'm not.
I wasn't such a huge fan because I'm like, listen,
these guys are not actors and actresses. We don't need
them to be playing out like a scene from a movie.
I just want to know what's happening for me at least.
But I get that, you know, some people enjoyed them. Yeah,
(07:23):
I just want to know. I guess I'm a purist
in that way. Is that it's all about the development
of the relationships for me.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I gotcha. But okay, the Leslie with the rose in
her mouth, okay, yeah, and then Gary, Oh they did
a dream sequence. Yes, I haven't seen that. Oh, okay,
I it's good.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
No, it's fine, don't you're not It doesn't It doesn't matter.
I mean, I know what has happened since I just
watched it myself.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Okay, I get you not appreciating that, but yeah, I
do I'm embracing all of the changes, love them.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Good for you. Is there part of you that wishes
you were there, that had that you had done it?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You know what? Just a little bit in the beginning,
but really not. Ok Then, I'm just applauding them, and
I want them to have their day in the sun
and enjoy it and just enjoy watching them. So no,
I just I'm applauding them all and reading for them.
And yeah, I think I'm okay with it. Okay, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Because were you asked to be on it?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I was. I was asked to be on it. I
went through the whole process, all right, and you know,
they ask you who you would like to be with,
and I just couldn't. I couldn't see myself with anyone,
and I didn't want to take anyone away from anyone
if that were to happen. So, you know, I just didn't.
(08:44):
I wanted to be true to myself, and so I'd
rather just watch it and enjoy it. And I've been
doing that.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Love that. So let's talk about that for a second,
because I feel like we mentioned it when we first
saw each other. This week. It's hard because Bachelor in
(09:10):
Paradise is full of people from the shows, and there
have been a lot of Bachelor's and bachelorettes that they
can draw from. There have not been a lot of Goldens,
so they only have a small population of people to
draw from from either Golden Bachelor or Golden Bachelerette. There's
only been one season for each, so that is hard
(09:33):
because you know, not everyone can leave and dedicate the
summer to you know, Bachelor in Paradise. And also a
lot of the people from the shows are in relationships
since they were on the show.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, right, right, right, So many of the men are
in relationships. Yeah, so there weren't that many men left.
And then April goes and chooses Jonathan, so that took
another Golden person away.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah, you are so right.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
So many of the men, thank thankfully found partners for sure,
and they're so happy.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
And so it was the hope that maybe there would
be other people. Yeah, so far there haven't been.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, so well, hopefully there will be. Hopefully there will be. Yeah,
you know, obviously we know there's a Golden Bachelor coming up,
coming up, and hopefully there will be another Golden Bachelorette,
and then maybe there will be another bachelor.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
So many people, and if I go on, there'll be
so much competition. That's right.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Would you do it in the future, I would?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Okay, I would do it in the future.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
If they do it again, I'd be.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
The only I'd be the only seventy three year old
continuing with all these sixty year olds. Stop to arrest
my progression of my agent. Would we all like to
do that?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I would? Okay? So who are you rooting for? Which
couple are you rooting for? For the all? I know,
I know what the answer is, but let's tell.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Me and Gary rooting for them? Of course? And like
Gary is so charismatic, like he's really so to speak,
commanding the stage. He's got all eyes on him. Okay, good,
and so many Like I said, I haven't seen him,
okay good? And so yeah, he I don't know if
(11:23):
he's surprised by it, but he just came in and
there was an immediate attraction with Leslie. So I'm rooting
for them. And then I know that Kathy and Keith
are together, so maybe they'll be together, okay, And I well,
Nancy did go on a date with Gary, so I
could be wrong about Gary. And Leslie could be Gary
(11:45):
and Nancy. Okay, right, Faith just came on, right, so
she could be with someone. Is there's still and I
can't wait to see.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I'm really expection. Who do you think is approaching the
Paradise experience the best.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Way in among anyone in the enter anyway?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
You can talk about the young Bucks or the Goldens.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
So I really do love Kat Yeah, she's doing I mean,
she's got she seems to have her head on straight, right,
and so when she approaches down with what she's concerned about,
uh huh, he keeps on veering off track and she
gets in back to center. Yep, I'm looking at Jonathan saying,
(12:32):
what is Jonathan's role in this? Like, is he seems
like a wandering guy? What is he looking for? What's
his end game here?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Stirring the pot?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, he's stirring the pot. You know. Kathy plays a
really good role. She's doing things that she's never done before,
like taking a shot that was really nice, right, yeah,
I mean all of and then yeah, so many of
the young people. I'm intrigued. I'm just intrigued by the
relationships and oh my gosh, did you see the scene
(13:02):
with the birds and they're costumes. Oh my god, they're incredible.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I've seen the credible urgeons.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Really, I mean they each one out did the other.
And then beautiful, my gosh, Brian. So there was a
scene with Brian and his partner Parisa beautiful and they
do get the sweet and so they're on two different pages.
So Parisa starts by asking him what's your favorite color?
(13:33):
Really just to break the ice, but his head is,
you know what, we're not doing that, We're not doing it,
and he wanted to have this just completely romantic, and
I think most people are siding with Parisa, and I
really do see Brian's point in this.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I see sad. It's it's really good, Okay, amazing. What
about the money? Since I haven't watched what's has Jesse
said anything more about the money? And what do you
think about it?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Now? All he said is that it's going to get
to that point, but he really hasn't explained exactly. Like
it's so frustrating. There's so little reveals about it. It's
intriguing that you're going to someone is actually going to
win half a million dollars, but they don't say how
they get there.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
They haven't told us. How so what do you think
about that? Do you think that that contained like a
romantic relationship, especially one that just started.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I think it probably does. I think that they're trying
to test the relationships to see which relationship is the
real deal and what's the true relationship. Yeah, so I
think that I know that in the previews they do
say Okay, from now on, there will be no more
new people. So the couple you're, the person you're with,
is the person you're going to be with, and you're
going to face every challenge with this program it. So
(14:53):
I would imagine you eventually get to the point where
you're considered for the half million dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Maybe it's changing from Bachelor in Paradise to like Bachelor
Pad after they have solidified the relationships and then they
compete as a team for the money.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, and that was a It seems to be a
complete surprise to everyone who's on the show, right, that
wasn't total to them beforehand. So imagine just being told okay,
now you could possibly win amazing.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Let me bring up something that I don't know if
I just don't know this because I haven't watched, but Susie,
I feel like just posted something on Instagram saying I
just found out about the money, Should I go back?
Something like that. I don't know if she was asking
or if she's going back. She hasn't gone back, she
has not gone Okay, I wonder if they're going to
ask people to go back.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Oh my god. Oh I didn't think of that.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Wow, like anybody who have who has already gone home.
But if they can go back and maybe be part
of the money.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
That would not be fair. I would not get there.
You made the choice to go home. No, I don't
think you should come back. You should not be able.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Well they didn't make a choice, they didn't know.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah, but Jeremy. Okay, So Jeremy regretted not giving the rose.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Oh yes, I agree, yes, And oh my gosh, that's
kind of I love it. I mean, of course I
love all things Bachelor at what everything, I've watched everything,
and so it's kind of like a family to me.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
So yeah, yeah, I love No, I love it too,
so yeah. So oh yeah, So Jeremy and Bally are together,
and it's they have to be seen if they'll stay together.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yeah, yeah, well you have to be seen if everyone
to keep up, if you had to sum up your
dating life, right now, give me three words for what
that would be.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Oh, it's I'm open, okay to dating. Yeah, I'm I'm
really not actively pursuing.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
You're not at I.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Am not actively inactive okay? So no, inactive right? No,
So I'm not on a dating website, which is what
I consider actively pursuing it, okay, And I'm very happy
with my life.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
So wait, you think active is being on a dating website.
That's interesting to me, I guess I do. Yeah, So
you don't think the dating is like just meeting someone
out and about in your town.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Well, that's what I'm doing, Okay, So that's not inactive. No.
All I would say is that I'm extremely open to it.
I do want it. I do want a man in
my life. Yeah. I do think that having a partner
in this world is just really wonderful. And I don't
really want to live the rest of my life alone.
I don't want to do that. And so I'm just
(17:34):
saying that I'm doing it more with just an open mind,
going out into the world and maybe putting it out
there and telling people. Because now when people approach me
in the street and they just say hi. You know
that's I think it's the most wonderful thing in the
world that they say, Oh, we're so sorry, we didn't
mean to bother you, but it's never a bother. Yes,
(17:54):
it's been the greatest thing to meet new people and
so even to tell them and people have been saying, oh,
I know somebody. Oh I'm just hoping like that could
have happened, right, for sure, it could happen.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Please. I met my husband inter national television show and
we've been married for twenty two years.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
So yeah, no, and you met somebody that you shared Yes,
I did a great relationship with for a while.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, I did. It can happen.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
It can happen. If they did another season of The
Golden Bachelorette, Yeah, would you be interested in that role?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Oh? Absolutely, really interested? Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Absolutely, you're throwing your name in the ring.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I'm throwing it in the ring.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Okay, okay. And would you do anything differently than the
way that Joan did it?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah? I would, Okay, how you know, I probably would.
I would be open to kissing a lot more, okay, Yeah,
and exploring it with each person and maybe being really
flirtatious and having a lot of fun. I know that
she held back and maybe she, you know, was concerned
about her family seeing her kissing someone. I'm really I'm
(19:17):
really open to that, and I'm affectionate and I would
like to see that and explore that. And yeah, I would.
I would get such a kick out of it. It
would be so much fun. Yeah, that'd be great.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Well, hopefully they'll do it. Oh, you know, I hope so,
I hope that from Golden Bachelor they will.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to Golden Bachelorette to the
Golden Bachelor.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Are you what are you? What are your thoughts on him?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Oh? You really want to know my thoughts? You guys
were well, okay, so you know that. Unfortunately, he did
say something, Yeah, tell us what age? He said that
his preferred age range was forty five to sixty. Yeah,
I guess he didn't realize that the minimum age was sixty.
And you know what, I do want to say this
that if you look at all of the men who
(20:02):
are on Jones season, they are all with much younger women,
and I just think that's the way of the world.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
You mean, the men who are now in relations.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
And relationships, Yes, and it's not that I haven't been
approached by young men, but yeah, much younger men. It
seems like much younger men, which wouldn't work whatsoever. Yeah,
so you don't think you don't think that would work?
Oh no, like a thirty year old, that's what I
don't know. I don't think. So they can't be younger
than my son. I have a son from forty eight.
(20:32):
I can't be younger than my son. Got it? But yeah,
so he said that, But I think that when he
sees these women are gorgeous just down, yes, juftain gorgeous,
and I'm sure they're delightful and intelligent. Yes, And it's
going to make for such an interesting show. And so
he's going to say, oh, they're beautiful. Oh and I
(20:55):
didn't realize and how great they are.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah, he's What would you have said to him if
you were in that room with him when we said that,
I would have.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Said, yeah, absolutely, you shouldn't want a data as sixty
year old, because you know, I'm a seventy year old.
I've got this wrinkly skin and I've got no muscle tone,
and I'm just ugly, and we're all ugly. Absolutely shouldn't.
So I was just say, oh my.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
God, mel Yeah, I don't think that was that was Yeah,
I heard about that, and yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I mean it's a thing. It just seems like it's
a thing.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
So for him, for him, yeah, I think it's unfortunate
because I think there is so much beauty in women
who you know, like obviously it showed where his values are. Yeah,
and I hope that after that that it opened his
eyes to agism and to looking at women differently and
(21:56):
knowing that a beautiful woman doesn't have to be wrinkle
free and you know, with no gray hair and no
hip replacements or whatever. He said, you know, like with
all their joints intact right, and it's right.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
It's just like prejudice in any other thing.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I know. I completely agree and like to prejudge based on.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Their age, on their age, or their color or their sexuality.
Just take each person for who they are and just
look at the beauty of that person, right, and doesn't matter, right,
I mean of people. And if that was a problem
for him that he wanted someone in shape, it could
be of any age and beautiful any age.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
And I know people in their seventies that are really fit.
So okay, you know what I mean like that, No,
I'm going to be seventy two.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
In a week, so and happy early birthday. Oh thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
You look beautiful. I mean, like, I think that I
really hope that he arrived at the Bachelor Mansion and
saw these women and thought, oh, I really put my
foot in my mouth.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
And I hope that he apologizes. Yeah, and it's on
the show. I agree with you. I hope that they
they face that head on and they address that issue
the better and he apologizes. They better not to ignore
it because the whole world saw it. And I think that,
you know, he probably didn't even realize that that was
going to be seen anywhere, and.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Well it wasn't it was wasn't it a podcast?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Right?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah? Like whatever, Like he should know. He should know
he's speaking on a public platform and anything you say
will be picked up, you know, like and go viral
or whatever. So you he he if.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
He knew, if he didn't know, he knows, now, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I mean, I'm sorry if you think that you're going
on television and people aren't going to pick up what
you say on a podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
And I would say anybody who says they're not going
to watch it because of that, I think they're going
to watch.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I think, yeah, you're because they want to know what
he was going to do. But ages is a thing.
It is a very sad thing. I specifically remember Joan
saying on Golden Bachelor that she felt invisible, and I
hate that. I feel that. I feel that at fifty two,
(24:14):
you know, when you're surrounded by like younger people, and
even if you have you know, high vibrations or whatever,
I feel like I can feel myself becoming invisible as
I get older. So I hate that. I hate that
for anyone who feels that way, and for him to
(24:34):
make women who are older than sixty feel invisible more
so because of what he said, it just hurt. It
like makes me really sad. So I really hope he
learned his lesson.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
And I will tell you being here this week with
younger people, yeah some of these people were my son's age.
Yeah are my son's age, and they treated us like themselves.
There was no age difference whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Good.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
I didn't feel like I was an outsider. I felt
like I was one of everyone and I and that
was so wonderful. Yeah, that makes me happy.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, okay, a new season of Dancing with the Stars
is coming. Would you ever want to be on that show?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah? No, but I couldn't. I couldn't. I have to
tell you why because Leslie. Okay, tell me, Leslie wants
it so badly, and there's no way that I would
get if someone asked me, I go no, no, just
get it to Leslie. Oh that's sweet.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Do you know I was on the show.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Oh my god, no I did. I'm sorry, don't apologize
you were.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
I was. I was the very first one ever kicked.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Oh my god, that's it. Why? Oh my god? After
how many? How many weeks?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Oh lord? I just did two two weeks congrastration, there
were six of us, okay, and now it's like fifteen
twenty people. So there were only six of us because
they really didn't know if it was going to fly,
if it was going to be something that people would watch.
I was a dancer, like a professional dancer. I dance
(26:13):
for the my wo and yeah, I got beat in
a dancing competition by Evander Holyfield.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Wow, It's totally fine. I loved the experience, so I
can say if Leslie passes it up for some reason,
and you get asked, if they're going to ask, you
should do it because it really was incredible. It must
be an incredible experience.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
It's incredible.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
But I will say I feel like back in the
day when it first started, it is definitely not as
labor intensive as it is now. Like they rehearse I
feel like twenty hours a day, not a week day.
And I think that Louis would come, my partner would
(27:05):
come to Veil on his own dime, and we would have,
you know, a few rehearsals, and then he would go
back to Utah and then we'd go to La maybe
a day or two before the show. It was so stressful.
I wish I would have had the rehearsal time. But
(27:28):
at the same time, I was kind of a newly
married woman. I wanted to still spend time with my husband,
and at that time, my partner was not out as
gay he is now. But there was like, you know,
this whole thing, this whole dynamic about your dancing very
seductively with a man with another man, and you know,
(27:48):
we were newly married, you know, for a couple of years,
and it's stressful in that regard, but it is so
much fun if you like things out of your boss,
out of your normal comfort zone or out of the box.
I think that it is such an incredible experience.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
So if you're at the opportunity, oh my god, it
must should be such an feel like such an accomplishment
to do something like that.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah, well, when you get kicked off first, you don't
really feel like it's.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
An accomplishment today. That's great, No, it did.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It did feel good to actually learn something new.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Yeah, and I know that other women on my show
would love to be on it. I'm sure so. And
I would root for anyone who got on, and I
would love to be in the audience and cheer them on.
Of course, anybody who wants says, go for it. Does
anybody gets offered, Yes, go for it?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yeah for sure? Okay, awesome. Well, thank you Teresa so
much for Thanks everybody for listening to the almost famous
OG podcast.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Thank you so much, testing, thank you, it's been a pleasure.
