and it's and I have never watched a full one
of those shows.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
You know who you are right now, who you're Menino,
because Menino doesn't like the regular Bachelor or Bachelorette. He
raced home from Spotsylvania yesterday to be able to watch that.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
And we both love the Dallas Cowboys. Surely there's America Sweethearts.
But yeah, I had never obviously, you know the premise
of the show, seeing clips of it for the last
twenty some years, however long, it's been all very familiar
with the premise. But yeah, I mean they were the
dumbest person in the world, is no. I mean they
were all Nobody was like combative with each other. It
was a bunch of older guys, you know, talking about

(02:07):
their kids and their grandkids and oh, I'm divorced. You know,
I'm a widow, and you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (02:12):

Speaker 2 (02:24):
No, why if you're in your forties, can't you date
somebody in her city?

Speaker 1 (02:27):
She doesn't want that.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
You don't know. How do you know what she wants?

Speaker 1 (02:30):
I'm sure if she said, hey, throw in a forty
year old, they would have loved to have done that.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, give me a thirty Give me somebody who's.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Give You want to date somebody when you're in your sixties,
You want to date somebody in their thirties? Talking about

your kid. That is not true, wasn't she Well, yes,

were like like she was on a rascal And then
one of the other guys was in like a like
a like a recliner or something that they had rigged
to have like a.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
It was a context.

Speaker 1 (03:05):

Speaker 3 (03:07):
That's not like they don't like one of the guys
isn't on like oxygen, who's got to sleep on like
a bed in.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
I think a lot of them have back problems. But
because you could tell, like like in the previous in
the preview of what you see during the season, they're
all playing volleyball on the beach and they're all like going, oh,
it's like it's like they spike and then it's like,
y'all are in your sixties. I'm sure you guys have
some like like icy hot roll ons behind the carras.

(03:35):
I even said a season pass, I was like, I
may not, I may not stay with it, but just
in case, so is it.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Did Joan being from from here, did she kind of
suck you in?

Speaker 5 (03:49):
That?

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Probably?

Speaker 6 (03:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:51):
That probably Obviously that adds to it. That gives you
you can run leisure, gives you a little hometown girl exactly.
But no, I think, and she's so likable.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
The wasn't she on last season?

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah? But remember she No, I wouldn't say she was
a runner up. I mean she was advancing, but then
her daughter dancing an age. No, she was advancing through
the competition, and then her daughter had had a rough
pregnancy and she was like, I got to go home
and be with her.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
Okay, did they injure themselves during pickleball pandemonium?

Speaker 1 (04:25):
I mean one of the guys almost hit her, like
one of the pickleballs.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Went like, did she really say they're quoting her here?
That the comment made was there were balls flying everywhere.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yes, And I heard Elliott going, oh, I like Joan,
I like her, I'm I'm rooting for her.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Well, you want her to find love?

Speaker 1 (04:50):

some years and this to get me into the show.

Speaker 6 (05:23):
Okay, you don't want me to have a forty year
old who's like, let me see some of them payancakes.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
A w says, is there anything more grandfatherly than inspecting
the amenities of a new location.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
But they had like they showed, you know, little snippets
of comments of them with their kids and then their
kids wishing them luck. There's one guy I think his
name is Pascal. He's French, right, but he listened that way.
He has like a salon in Chicago, right, and he's
very suave. I think he's going to go far.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
Past Gala says didn't know about the first impression Rose.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Oh do they do roses?

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah? They did a first impression Rose and then they
did the roses where she put them on in the
in the boot near for the guys who made it through?

Speaker 4 (06:12):
What is that? If you knew that, I would have
done a better job. Come on, I liked him.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
They should have something different for like the old people
to do instead of roses. What do you mean, like
do they do like the like when they first get
to the mansion? Do they do it is a mansion?

Speaker 5 (06:33):
Right?

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Like they don't pull up and it doesn't say like
assisted living.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
No, it was like the same one that they were
at last time for Gary, right.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Is it really? Yeah? The who is who is chock?

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Oh chok and Chock made her mom still a lot.

Here's Chock. Jesus Shock is an insurance executive from Wichita.
I liked him. Successful career, owning his own business. That right.
He has a black lab called super Tubs and they're like,
She's like, do you call him tubs? She's like, no,
I call him super Tubs.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Oh very good.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
How old is it his mom? Because his mom he
got diagnosed with stage four cancer.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
He's sixties, so she's got to be in her eighties
or nineties, right.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
God, But she still encouraged him to go on this
journey to find love.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, yeah, like you did last year.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Didn't Joan leave last year because of an illness in
the family.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Because my daughter had eight times?

Speaker 5 (07:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (07:34):
Okay, Well, this guy's got stage four cancer in the
mom five and she's telling.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Him don't leave. Joan's got two sides of the man.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Guy got a rose, Jack got a rose. Jordan. I
liked him too.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Did Jordan get aroused? They can't beautiful?

Speaker 4 (07:54):
She is gorgeous. I don't know why you're You're mabe
not mocking her. You called her pancakes. No, no, no,
I was just saying the people would kill for her body. Yes, yeah,
I know they're all people much younger, yes, yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
That's why I wanted a forty in there.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
No, not much younger, man.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
I did not say I don't find her attractive. I
got to be honest, I haven't really spent any time
seeing her.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
She doesn't look like when you think of somebody who
is a grandmother of three, that's not the picture that
comes into your head.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
Well, obviously they didn't want Henrietta from Livingston, New Jersey,
who has got to get around in a rascal, not
because her legs hurt, but well they she doesn't have
good circulation. Of course they want a and again, if
the family's listening, forgive me, but of course they want
a piece of ass.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
No they do. Well, we don't fix it.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
And what happened to the shift in tone?

Speaker 2 (08:48):
I gave it to you. I gave it to you. Yeah,
there she is on a rascal.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
That was just them being funny.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Like pickleball pandemonium.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
I love that shot of Charles in the Fridge, Charles.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
L Are any of the I should have asked, because
this was the problem with Jerry last.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Year, Garry, Gary last it's spelled Jerry, but it's Gary whatever.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
You've told him that she left. I know he's not
going to remember.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
I know.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Do are any of the or any of the old men.
Are they from the area from here? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (09:26):
No, not because that was the problem last year. Is
Jerry and Gary and whatever her name was. Yeah, they
the Teresa, she didn't want to relocate. It's like they
lived in separate parts of the country.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
And then I guess the agreement was that somebody was
going to relocate, and then both of them are. They're
digging their heels in.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
And before their future home. But yeah, that's the problem.

Speaker 6 (09:49):
Joan's going to pick up and leave the land in
school to move to Chicago with Jacques to.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Rene is you've got both people.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, the family.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Heret family, and they've got grand kids.

Speaker 6 (10:01):
It's like, actually harder to complete than if you're in
your twenties and you could just run around and just
go wherever.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
Right, listen, we know what the destination is. Yeah, not Mary,
We're here just like the stage four cancer Mom told
her son for the journey?

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Are you did you like? Is this the reality Steve
recap or something that I haven't seen yet? You seem
to know a lot about the show.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
I'm reading the Entertainment Weekly recamp as we go along here.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Oh and don't mock Diane. You you printed out Paige
yet you watched?

Speaker 4 (10:33):
I don't want to know.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
I printed out their bios just so I could follow along.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
The Steves already spoiled it. I told you weeks ago
he revealed who won, so stay away from him. Oh,
I want to know, you know I like that reality story, Diane.
Don't look it up? Why because you'll spoil it on air.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
It's my own damn life.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
No, but yet you don't ruin your journey. I don't care. Yeah,
you just got invested. No, but I, oh my god,
I've already got Pullman on the other.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
Excited where the show's finally doing a podcast?

Yes, yeah, did you notice that anybody didn't have their
their whole.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Teeth and.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
People were no, come on, they're not that old. These
are like very well dressed, well put together, like taking
care of themselves men. But I don't think somebody's going
to show up like missing a tooth.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
I could show you one of the richest guys in
DC who's missing a tooth, Alex Ovechkin.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Ok okay, he's a hockey player. He should be. None
of these guys are hockey players.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
You don't know that. Maybe they played beer lee.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
They highlighted pickleball.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
You have no idea.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
