Speaker 1 (00:13):
Welcome to I Do Part two. It's Susan Knowles here
today from The Golden Bachelor, as well as Hullow's Got
to Get Out and from the podcast I co host
with Kathy under Bachelor Happy Hour Golden Hour. So, as
you all know, I have been on I Do Part
two before talking about dating and putting yourself out there.
(00:37):
And I am so happy to check in with all
of you because I am finally dating someone myself. I
am so excited for all of you to meet my man,
Frederic or fred or Eric or whatever he wants to
go by today say hello, there you go. And he's French.
(01:02):
We also have our beautiful Jad. This is his daughter
who teaches me French every single day. And no I'm
not good at it yet. However, thank you. We are
in beautiful Saint Martin right now, right, yes, and this
(01:24):
is where he lives. So where do we start. I
was on vacation with Kathy for sixteen days. It is
a good idea and one night I had an espresso
martini after dinner. When we came back, Kathy and I
we did our girl talk, wash our face. She went
up to bed and I couldn't sleep. I was wide
(01:45):
awake playing games on my iPad, and I said, let
me try Tinder and voila. Obviously I swiped right, but
I didn't get back on for three days. Right, three days?
And who message to first? How many times did we
(02:14):
text before we went on our first date? Three days?
We text? Okay, okay, and do you remember what you
said to me the first message?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yes? What, thank you for your smile?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yes, send you for you ura, my aura, Yes, and
your love. Do you like to dance?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
And is my French better than your English? I think
you said? And I said yes to two, but no
to one because I can't speak French. So we decided
to meet. He asked me to bring ear pods. Correct,
we bring Kathy along because Kathy can speak a little
bit of English, I actually, and Spanish and French. I said.
(03:03):
She could speak no, French a little bit, Spanish a
little bit, and English a little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, I said, so she.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Helped with the introduction. He put the EarPods in our
ears and we were on our cell phones the whole
entire time. Kathy stayed but five ten minutes, had one drink,
and then she she left. She was comfortable, We were comfortable.
And no, I did not have a code word or
(03:34):
anything for Kathy to leave. As a matter of fact,
I wanted Kathy to stay a little longer, but she
was like, no, you two were doing your things. She goes,
and we were fine with that. So tell me about
the first time we met, when we were communicating with
our iPhones.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
It's a beautiful Roman.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Get the.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Aura.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
I know.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I have a good moment in your company. Yes, and
I want to stop the tame ah.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Is that nice?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Okay? So should more people in there?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I do?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Part two chapter have a wing woman? No, not necessarily.
The only reason I've brought my wing woman, if you
call it, is because of the language problem. No problem,
no problem. He can speak better English than I can French,
for sure. However, I study more than you do. With
(04:51):
that being said, no, it's not necessary unless there's a
language problem. We're working through that, just fine. I have
seven apps that I use, and I have a tutor
once a week, and I have JAD every day right now,
because she's here in Saint Martin with us before she
returns to France, and then we're going to pick it
up my phone, I think when you go home, right okay?
(05:15):
I am fourteen years your senior a problem if he's
okay you and me, No, that's exactly right. Yes, I
have dated younger men, and to me, the age is
just a number. It's about the energy that you give
each other and what you have in common. Age really
(05:38):
doesn't matter. I mean, I know how many men out
there date young young women older men to have arm candy.
That is not my goal by any means. It didn't
matter to me how old you are. So I know
I don't live in Saint Martin. However I am here
right now and I have been back five times since February, Yes,
(06:04):
one because of I breke my hand. We were hiking
in g Ance, Marcel Uh. They were going to go
surfing and I was going to film his son and
him and I slipped on gravel and broke my wrist.
(06:24):
I had to have surgery, a plate, seven screws. Long
story short. He took me to the hospital, took very
good care of me, I will say, and perfect gentleman.
And then I flew home, had surgery and came back
for rehab because I wasn't allowed to do anything. So
what better place to be.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
For me? It's a it's a distinquoke, he.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Cooks, he cleaned me, he showered me, he shaved me.
A kiss you yeah, kiss me? So tell me for you? Yes,
what was it that made you swipe right for me?
What is it you liked about me? What else? God,
(07:17):
you're allowed to say it your funny, your crazy attitude.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
It's true.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I love you.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
So when I was home back in Philadelphia, every time,
not every time, but when he talked to his daughter's
ad on the phone, they would face time with me
so I could meet her. And a couple of weeks ago,
she they call me and she says, my daddy say
he's in love. I must spend time with this woman.
(07:53):
So she came for the same amount of time that
I'm going to be here. I've been here. I'll be
here eighteen days this time. And we got to spend
a lot of time together. As a matter of fact,
her and I do more than you and I. This weeton,
We've been having fun, with a lot of fun. You
have met my daughter on FaceTime, yes, and chat it
(08:15):
just a little bit my sons, just for a second
or two. So when he comes to my home, then
he'll have time with my sons. He was a little
nervous the second time I was here, because every time
I would trip or fall, what would you say? No, no,
don't get hurt your boys. I won't be allowed back
(08:39):
in Saint Martin.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yes, beat your fruit.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
So yeah, so that children part. But you know what,
at my age, I do care what my children think. However,
this is my life and my time, and it's about
my happiness. So I'm certain that my children will be
happy for me. Okay. Our favorite things about each other? Hmmm,
(09:05):
your favorite things about me? You told some of them the.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Same your ways that's mine? You uh empty? And when
I it was you, I love.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yes, we did laugh.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
We laugh a lot every day time.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yes, for me. The first thing I saw was his
picture on Tinder, and I thought he was handsome, and
I swiped right. That was it. When we met. It
wasn't as soon as I saw, Oh my god, it
was about two hours in. I think we were both
with our heads on our phone with the translation, and
I remember saying to you, you know where I come from.
(09:55):
When I go on a date or meet someone, I
usually make icon tact. And I can't even tell you
what color your eyes are because my head has been
down on the phone, and we both started to laugh.
Remember I mean laugh, and I think it was that
moment for me? Was it for you? At that moment?
It was for us. Books we knew, we enjoyed each other,
(10:21):
We liked each other. The date lasted four or five hours.
We talked forever. I don't remember my favorite things about him.
(10:43):
Number one, he's so handsome. Number two he's so funny.
We make each other laugh, and I think that is
so so important in a relationship. Uh romantic the French,
I got to give it to them. This man thinks,
and it's not put on. When we're out at my
friend's house for dinner, he get what it's time to leave.
(11:04):
You get my purse and my phone, he carries everything,
he opens the door for me. It's a perfect gentleman
and sexy because that's this is about us.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
So for me, we are funny.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
So my recommendation out there, obviously, I was far away
from home, and I'll pick up a tender app anytime anywhere.
I never had this far of a long distance relationship before.
But it is doable, and I can't tell you. Sometimes
you just can't find somebody in your backyard. It's okay
(11:58):
to look elsewhere. You never know what's going to happen.
I and Kathy both have been out there. We were
on the Golden Bachelor looking for love, and two years later,
I'm still not searching. I think I kind of gave
up really searching for something and just was okay by myself.
And I happen to open up that app and here
(12:21):
we are and it's working out perfectly. Actually, we don't choose.
Oh yes, go ahead say yes. He's sharing that you
don't choose to fall in love, that it just happens,
and if it happens to happen a long distance at
this stage of the game, at our age, I do
(12:43):
part two. It's okay. Either one of you can pick
up and go. It's not like we have full time
nine to five jobs anymore. We've raised our children, our
grandchildren are here at least for me, and you do
what you want ready from the every day. Every day
(13:03):
is a different day. So love is not sought, it's
simply found. That's why we say we fell in love.
We don't choose to fall and have romantic encounters. They're
just around the corner in a city far from home
or near home, So don't be shy, Get out there,
(13:25):
put yourself out there. If you're looking for love, be alive,
be where you are, and it's okay if it's not
in your backyard. Uh huh, he says, don't look she falls.
It is true that we can give love the opportunity
by meeting people or just moving around. You can find
(13:46):
love anywhere. Yes, he says. What I love about Susan,
do I really have to tell you is that when
you are near her, you see her, you talk to her,
she is captivating, her gaze, her smile, her aura, this
(14:09):
positivity that she excludes at every moment. And I'm not
talking about her physical assets like my ass, but I
think he likes my ants. You're so cute. So with
that being said, what else would you like to tell
people looking for love at the stage of the game
(14:32):
in your golden years?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Your choice, what you want, they want, what you go,
where you go? I go, Well, I wish you it's
my every day.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Okay. This is so beautiful, And even being married before,
I've never felt this kind of love before. It's it's magical.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Magic, magic, but you.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
More magical, more magical. Oh my god, You're gonna make
me cry to feel love right now. This part of
my life is so important because you're not looking for
the same as you were when you were forty years younger,
(15:24):
thirty years younger. Then you're looking to get married and
do have a family and children. We don't. We did
all that. Now, it's just about enjoying the last chapter,
if you will, of our lives and being happy.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Oh the Dessau in English, a measure of love is
to love without museum.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
They're beautiful the French. I'm telling you, yeah, it gives
me goosebumps, even though I'm sweating in Saint Martin. This
kind of love. I couldn't ask for more. I really couldn't.
It's it's just a miracle. It's a miracle that we
found each other many it's showing me and it's perfect.
(16:20):
And also, as you all know, I am not going
to be on Bachelor in Paradise because I did find
love on my own and he's sitting right here right
But I keep thinking that maybe Nancy will find love.
(16:43):
I don't know why I had this stream one night,
Nancy kept popping in my head. So I'm so excited
to watch Bachelor in Paradise or Golden in paradise when
it when it airs to see if I was right.
And we all want Kathy to find somebody, don't we here,
Jim Gosh, and we also won't talk about our new
(17:11):
Golden Bachelor. Mel. I happened to meet him when I
was out in California not too long ago for a
Hulu event, and he had said to me any advice
I told. I welcomed him and said to him, My
only advice to you, Mel is be true to yourself.
You're going to be world wind with all these women
(17:33):
at your feet, you know, dating here and there and everywhere.
Just keep true to yourself and what makes you happy.
That's what we did right. Everybody was excited about the
new Golden Bachelor. I'm sure the world is jumping up
and down can't wait to see them, and me too.
(17:54):
I can't wait to watch. And I keep in touch
with every everyone from my show from both shows now
after filming got to get out those people, oh my goodness,
there definitely became a part of my life, just like
the ladies on The Golden Bachelor, as well as Gary.
(18:14):
Gary and I still talk, but the people from got
to get out. So my most favorite person I can't
say that Bonnie and Clyde, if you will, would be
vow from Dancing with the Stars. He was my Clyde
and I was his Bonnie, and little Demi was my roommate.
And as you all know, I hope everybody listening has
(18:35):
watched the show, and I'm getting mail like crazy saying
why would you tell everybody your secret your exit strategy?
And I have to laugh because I was silly. But
there was a reason I say this because it was
very early in the show and I was not ready
to escape. But I thought by telling everyone my plan,
(18:57):
they would trust me. And if you continue to watch,
the things that happened were hysterical, but I no longer
told them when I had an escape strategy. With that
being said, I talked to every single one of them
almost daily in another text chain, if you will, and
(19:19):
there wasn't one person on there that I disliked. There
really wasn't. I loved all these people and being on
reality TV for me is just making more friends and
enjoying every single moment of knowing new personalities and new
destinations to go see people's I feel blessed, I really do.
(19:41):
But the biggest blessing of all, I don't care anything
about TV. Is this right here?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
For the escape? Still, when we first talked about the
Golden Paradise, I shared with him that, you know, I
might be going and what if I kiss another man
on TV? Remember what you said? You said, it's not
(20:14):
going to be fun to watch. But I know it's TV, right.
But I couldn't pick anybody. I wasn't interested, so I
had to be honest.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
You do what you want. I did.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Just here, I am I won't you're yes, I am happy.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
So he watched some of The Golden Right. You could
find that on the internet. However, I have not been
able to get Hulu here in Saint Martin, so he
has not seen the show. He saw clips, a lot
of clips from it, but I have to wait till
he comes to the United States for him to watch
(21:05):
the show.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Right.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I think the three days I had left here in
Saint Martin after we met, we spent every minute together
and he had said when will I see you? And
it was in exactly nine days after I left. I
was due to go on a trip to California. Kathy
(21:27):
and I with some friends of mine, and unfortunately she
had a heartsack, so it was canceled, and I turned
to him and said, just so happens. I got all
my miles back from the airlines, and I had the
week off, so I said I can come back for
this day. He was perfectly happy, and I said, you'll
(21:47):
have to help me find a place to stay. Remember,
and you said, no, you stay with me. So long
before Golden Paradise came, we already knew what we were
to each other, I admit, and he does as well
that either one of us has ever said I love
you so quickly. Right. We don't know why, we just
(22:11):
do it was just right?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
My question it we do. Love is love when you
feel it, you feel it. It's the international language. Yes see,
it doesn't change no matter what language we speak changed.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
This has been a lot of fun and I love
catching up with everyone from I Do Part two listeners.
I'm just like you. I put myself out there and
look look what happened. I was able to find not
just love again, but the best love I've ever felt.
(22:52):
And yes it's far away, but we're figuring that out.

info is in the show notes, follow us on socials,

was on vacation with Kathy for sixteen days. It is
a good idea and one night I had an espresso
martini after dinner. When we came back, Kathy and I
we did our girl talk, wash our face. She went
up to bed and I couldn't sleep. I was wide
(01:45):
awake playing games on my iPad, and I said, let
me try Tinder and voila. Obviously I swiped right, but
I didn't get back on for three days. Right, three days?
And who message to first? How many times did we
(02:14):
text before we went on our first date? Three days?
We text? Okay, okay, and do you remember what you
said to me the first message?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yes? What, thank you for your smile?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yes, send you for you ura, my aura, Yes, and
your love. Do you like to dance?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
And is my French better than your English? I think
you said? And I said yes to two, but no
to one because I can't speak French. So we decided
to meet. He asked me to bring ear pods. Correct,
we bring Kathy along because Kathy can speak a little
bit of English, I actually, and Spanish and French. I said.
(03:03):
She could speak no, French a little bit, Spanish a
little bit, and English a little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, I said, so she.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Helped with the introduction. He put the EarPods in our
ears and we were on our cell phones the whole
entire time. Kathy stayed but five ten minutes, had one drink,
and then she she left. She was comfortable, We were comfortable.
And no, I did not have a code word or
(03:34):
anything for Kathy to leave. As a matter of fact,
I wanted Kathy to stay a little longer, but she
was like, no, you two were doing your things. She goes,
and we were fine with that. So tell me about
the first time we met, when we were communicating with
our iPhones.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
It's a beautiful Roman.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Get the.
Speaker 2 (03:58):

Speaker 2 (04:02):
I have a good moment in your company. Yes, and
I want to stop the tame ah.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Is that nice?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Okay? So should more people in there?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I do?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Part two chapter have a wing woman? No, not necessarily.
The only reason I've brought my wing woman, if you
call it, is because of the language problem. No problem,
no problem. He can speak better English than I can French,
for sure. However, I study more than you do. With
(04:51):
that being said, no, it's not necessary unless there's a
language problem. We're working through that, just fine. I have
seven apps that I use, and I have a tutor
once a week, and I have JAD every day right now,
because she's here in Saint Martin with us before she
returns to France, and then we're going to pick it
up my phone, I think when you go home, right okay?
(05:15):
I am fourteen years your senior a problem if he's
okay you and me, No, that's exactly right. Yes, I
have dated younger men, and to me, the age is
just a number. It's about the energy that you give
each other and what you have in common. Age really
(05:38):
doesn't matter. I mean, I know how many men out
there date young young women older men to have arm candy.
That is not my goal by any means. It didn't
matter to me how old you are. So I know
I don't live in Saint Martin. However I am here
right now and I have been back five times since February, Yes,
(06:04):
one because of I breke my hand. We were hiking
in g Ance, Marcel Uh. They were going to go
surfing and I was going to film his son and
him and I slipped on gravel and broke my wrist.
(06:24):
I had to have surgery, a plate, seven screws. Long
story short. He took me to the hospital, took very
good care of me, I will say, and perfect gentleman.
And then I flew home, had surgery and came back
for rehab because I wasn't allowed to do anything. So
what better place to be.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
For me? It's a it's a distinquoke, he.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Cooks, he cleaned me, he showered me, he shaved me.
A kiss you yeah, kiss me? So tell me for you? Yes,
what was it that made you swipe right for me?
What is it you liked about me? What else? God,
(07:17):
you're allowed to say it your funny, your crazy attitude.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
It's true.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I love you.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
So when I was home back in Philadelphia, every time,
not every time, but when he talked to his daughter's
ad on the phone, they would face time with me
so I could meet her. And a couple of weeks ago,
she they call me and she says, my daddy say
he's in love. I must spend time with this woman.
(07:53):
So she came for the same amount of time that
I'm going to be here. I've been here. I'll be
here eighteen days this time. And we got to spend
a lot of time together. As a matter of fact,
her and I do more than you and I. This weeton,
We've been having fun, with a lot of fun. You
have met my daughter on FaceTime, yes, and chat it
(08:15):
just a little bit my sons, just for a second
or two. So when he comes to my home, then
he'll have time with my sons. He was a little
nervous the second time I was here, because every time
I would trip or fall, what would you say? No, no,
don't get hurt your boys. I won't be allowed back
(08:39):
in Saint Martin.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yes, beat your fruit.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
So yeah, so that children part. But you know what,
at my age, I do care what my children think. However,
this is my life and my time, and it's about
my happiness. So I'm certain that my children will be
happy for me. Okay. Our favorite things about each other? Hmmm,
(09:05):
your favorite things about me? You told some of them the.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Same your ways that's mine? You uh empty? And when
I it was you, I love.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yes, we did laugh.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
We laugh a lot every day time.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yes, for me. The first thing I saw was his
picture on Tinder, and I thought he was handsome, and
I swiped right. That was it. When we met. It
wasn't as soon as I saw, Oh my god, it
was about two hours in. I think we were both
with our heads on our phone with the translation, and
I remember saying to you, you know where I come from.
(09:55):
When I go on a date or meet someone, I
usually make icon tact. And I can't even tell you
what color your eyes are because my head has been
down on the phone, and we both started to laugh.
Remember I mean laugh, and I think it was that
moment for me? Was it for you? At that moment?
It was for us. Books we knew, we enjoyed each other,
(10:21):
We liked each other. The date lasted four or five hours.
We talked forever. I don't remember my favorite things about him.
(10:43):
Number one, he's so handsome. Number two he's so funny.
We make each other laugh, and I think that is
so so important in a relationship. Uh romantic the French,
I got to give it to them. This man thinks,
and it's not put on. When we're out at my
friend's house for dinner, he get what it's time to leave.
(11:04):
You get my purse and my phone, he carries everything,
he opens the door for me. It's a perfect gentleman
and sexy because that's this is about us.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
So for me, we are funny.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
So my recommendation out there, obviously, I was far away
from home, and I'll pick up a tender app anytime anywhere.
I never had this far of a long distance relationship before.
But it is doable, and I can't tell you. Sometimes
you just can't find somebody in your backyard. It's okay
(11:58):
to look elsewhere. You never know what's going to happen.
I and Kathy both have been out there. We were
on the Golden Bachelor looking for love, and two years later,
I'm still not searching. I think I kind of gave
up really searching for something and just was okay by myself.
And I happen to open up that app and here
(12:21):
we are and it's working out perfectly. Actually, we don't choose.
Oh yes, go ahead say yes. He's sharing that you
don't choose to fall in love, that it just happens,
and if it happens to happen a long distance at
this stage of the game, at our age, I do
(12:43):
part two. It's okay. Either one of you can pick
up and go. It's not like we have full time
nine to five jobs anymore. We've raised our children, our
grandchildren are here at least for me, and you do
what you want ready from the every day. Every day
(13:03):
is a different day. So love is not sought, it's
simply found. That's why we say we fell in love.
We don't choose to fall and have romantic encounters. They're
just around the corner in a city far from home
or near home, So don't be shy, Get out there,
(13:25):
put yourself out there. If you're looking for love, be alive,
be where you are, and it's okay if it's not
in your backyard. Uh huh, he says, don't look she falls.
It is true that we can give love the opportunity
by meeting people or just moving around. You can find
(13:46):
love anywhere. Yes, he says. What I love about Susan,
do I really have to tell you is that when
you are near her, you see her, you talk to her,
she is captivating, her gaze, her smile, her aura, this
(14:09):
positivity that she excludes at every moment. And I'm not
talking about her physical assets like my ass, but I
think he likes my ants. You're so cute. So with
that being said, what else would you like to tell
people looking for love at the stage of the game
(14:32):
in your golden years?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Your choice, what you want, they want, what you go,
where you go? I go, Well, I wish you it's
my every day.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Okay. This is so beautiful, And even being married before,
I've never felt this kind of love before. It's it's magical.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Magic, magic, but you.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
More magical, more magical. Oh my god, You're gonna make
me cry to feel love right now. This part of
my life is so important because you're not looking for
the same as you were when you were forty years younger,
(15:24):
thirty years younger. Then you're looking to get married and
do have a family and children. We don't. We did
all that. Now, it's just about enjoying the last chapter,
if you will, of our lives and being happy.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Oh the Dessau in English, a measure of love is
to love without museum.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
They're beautiful the French. I'm telling you, yeah, it gives
me goosebumps, even though I'm sweating in Saint Martin. This
kind of love. I couldn't ask for more. I really couldn't.
It's it's just a miracle. It's a miracle that we
found each other many it's showing me and it's perfect.
(16:20):
And also, as you all know, I am not going
to be on Bachelor in Paradise because I did find
love on my own and he's sitting right here right
But I keep thinking that maybe Nancy will find love.
(16:43):
I don't know why I had this stream one night,
Nancy kept popping in my head. So I'm so excited
to watch Bachelor in Paradise or Golden in paradise when
it when it airs to see if I was right.
And we all want Kathy to find somebody, don't we here,
Jim Gosh, and we also won't talk about our new
(17:11):
Golden Bachelor. Mel. I happened to meet him when I
was out in California not too long ago for a
Hulu event, and he had said to me any advice
I told. I welcomed him and said to him, My
only advice to you, Mel is be true to yourself.
You're going to be world wind with all these women
(17:33):
at your feet, you know, dating here and there and everywhere.
Just keep true to yourself and what makes you happy.
That's what we did right. Everybody was excited about the
new Golden Bachelor. I'm sure the world is jumping up
and down can't wait to see them, and me too.
(17:54):
I can't wait to watch. And I keep in touch
with every everyone from my show from both shows now
after filming got to get out those people, oh my goodness,
there definitely became a part of my life, just like
the ladies on The Golden Bachelor, as well as Gary.
(18:14):
Gary and I still talk, but the people from got
to get out. So my most favorite person I can't
say that Bonnie and Clyde, if you will, would be
vow from Dancing with the Stars. He was my Clyde
and I was his Bonnie, and little Demi was my roommate.
And as you all know, I hope everybody listening has
(18:35):
watched the show, and I'm getting mail like crazy saying
why would you tell everybody your secret your exit strategy?
And I have to laugh because I was silly. But
there was a reason I say this because it was
very early in the show and I was not ready
to escape. But I thought by telling everyone my plan,
(18:57):
they would trust me. And if you continue to watch,
the things that happened were hysterical, but I no longer
told them when I had an escape strategy. With that
being said, I talked to every single one of them
almost daily in another text chain, if you will, and
(19:19):
there wasn't one person on there that I disliked. There
really wasn't. I loved all these people and being on
reality TV for me is just making more friends and
enjoying every single moment of knowing new personalities and new
destinations to go see people's I feel blessed, I really do.
(19:41):
But the biggest blessing of all, I don't care anything
about TV. Is this right here?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
For the escape? Still, when we first talked about the
Golden Paradise, I shared with him that, you know, I
might be going and what if I kiss another man
on TV? Remember what you said? You said, it's not
(20:14):
going to be fun to watch. But I know it's TV, right.
But I couldn't pick anybody. I wasn't interested, so I
had to be honest.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
You do what you want. I did.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Just here, I am I won't you're yes, I am happy.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
So he watched some of The Golden Right. You could
find that on the internet. However, I have not been
able to get Hulu here in Saint Martin, so he
has not seen the show. He saw clips, a lot
of clips from it, but I have to wait till
he comes to the United States for him to watch
(21:05):
the show.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Right.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I think the three days I had left here in
Saint Martin after we met, we spent every minute together
and he had said when will I see you? And
it was in exactly nine days after I left. I
was due to go on a trip to California. Kathy
(21:27):
and I with some friends of mine, and unfortunately she
had a heartsack, so it was canceled, and I turned
to him and said, just so happens. I got all
my miles back from the airlines, and I had the
week off, so I said I can come back for
this day. He was perfectly happy, and I said, you'll
(21:47):
have to help me find a place to stay. Remember,
and you said, no, you stay with me. So long
before Golden Paradise came, we already knew what we were
to each other, I admit, and he does as well
that either one of us has ever said I love
you so quickly. Right. We don't know why, we just
(22:11):
do it was just right?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
My question it we do. Love is love when you
feel it, you feel it. It's the international language. Yes see,
it doesn't change no matter what language we speak changed.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
This has been a lot of fun and I love
catching up with everyone from I Do Part two listeners.
I'm just like you. I put myself out there and
look look what happened. I was able to find not
just love again, but the best love I've ever felt.
(22:52):
And yes it's far away, but we're figuring that out.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
