2025: The Iconic Highs and Lessons Learned | Golden Hour

00:00:07
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Bachelor Happy Hours, Golden Hour. Kathy and I are so excited to be back, and we want to thank you for joining us.

00:00:16
Speaker 2: Oh boy today, Susan. First of all, happy almost end of this year. Glad to see you go. But we're going to be doing a little twenty twenty five reflection as we here for New Year's and I don't know what your plans are, but I'm about to ask you, so if you don't have any, make them up real quick. What doing for New Year?

00:00:33
Speaker 1: I'm going to continue travel and that's for sure? Are you couple for years?

00:00:37
Speaker 2: Yes?

00:00:37
Speaker 1: Actually I will be in Saint Martin and then in February I'm flying Saint Martin to California and then you and I are going to join our friends, our Italian friends in California in February.

00:00:51
Speaker 2: So tomorrow we can round your euro out by lots of travel and especially for New Year's even Saint Martin. Now, don't you want to ask me?

00:00:58
Speaker 1: Please? I think you're coming with some of mine.

00:01:01
Speaker 2: No, what am I doing for now?

00:01:03
Speaker 1: New Year's? What are you doing? Nothing? What I guessed, Chris? It's quiet though.

00:01:12
Speaker 2: I just have to tell you when my husband was alive. I loved New Year's Eve because now so I can get through without crying. He would open a really nice bottle of champagne and we would grill steaks, and I left it. It was quiet. It wasn't you know. We didn't get out on the road. We're probably easy crazy as were. So now I do similar. I sit home and open a bottle of wine.

00:01:38
Speaker 1: Okay, do you watch it on TV? I love watching the ball drop in New York.

00:01:45
Speaker 2: Sometimes I watch Ryan. Sometimes I do watch I do sometimes watch it, but I would be.

00:01:51
Speaker 1: You and I might be hosting that one day, I think big.

00:01:56
Speaker 2: Okay, if you and I are hosting New Year's Eve in Times Square, I will be there that. I'll guarantee you. Okay, but I don't know. All right, so let's get started here. We've got a few questions. We're going to talk about sort of our twenty twenty five. We're going to reflect back on the year, and let me start. I'll answer, I'll ask the first question. We'll go from there. Okay, Yes, let's do all right? What word best describes twenty twenty five for you? And why the word is epic?

00:02:29
Speaker 1: It was an amazing year. I met tons of new people. I was awarded an award for being an Officiant of the.

00:02:40
Speaker 2: Year from Yay Susan. Congrats, it's been all of you who don't know Susan just recently, oh, just a week or so ago, a couple of weeks now, won an award for a wedding officient of the year. So where all our hats are off to you. Congrats, it's really.

00:02:54
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. How about you, kav.

00:02:57
Speaker 2: My word for the year is engaged. I thought I'd get a rise out of you. Not as a ring on my hand. Engaged, Oh I got it, but engaged, you know, I said yes. Too many opportunities that came my way. I think for me, honestly, the biggest thing for me, and it's it's one of the other questions we're going to talk about, but let's mix it up and talk about it now. For me, one of the biggest, probably the biggest time's, biggest point of reference for me in twenty twenty five was being on paradise And you know, and you probably can guess, why do you want to hazard a guess or not go.

00:03:35
Speaker 1: Ahead because another experience Well.

00:03:40
Speaker 2: It was of course all that and of course working to getting to work with all the wonderful people and like you said, meeting so many fabulous people this year. But for me being on paradise, I didn't realize it untill I got away and have really had time to reflect on it. It was a time where I could really just be me. I'm a fixer. I love children, I love young adults. I love being there for people. And I had a month of it where young people cared what I had to say and they liked spending time with me. It was just to me was yes, it was a month vacation, but it was just a month to really be myself. I loved it. What about you, what's the best thing for you in twenty twenty five.

00:04:18
Speaker 1: I just said it. That was one of the major highlights getting the war, accepting that award in Las Vegas at the Belagia, and you know, I love playing dress up and all the people's opinions about my dresses I love. I want to thank everybody for doing that. And then the last minute, a designer sent me to dresses I never saw where.

00:04:39
Speaker 2: By the way, when you get back with her asking her mind as I didn't get one.

00:04:42
Speaker 1: She'd be happy to take care of you, all right. Another one says, Kathy, what's one moment from this year you didn't realize would matter so much at the time.

00:04:54
Speaker 2: Well, so you're going to give me your answer. What's your answer.

00:04:57
Speaker 1: I'm going to go with the same. I didn't think it would matter so much when I was nominated earlier this year, and it did really matter. It turned out to be something spectacular.

00:05:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, I think that's the lesson. We keep learning lessons, But I think for me, twenty twenty five has shown me that we think we know what's going to happen, We think we know we're going to where we're going to be. It never seems to be that way. It's either in my case. In my case, lots of surprises and lots of things that were better, you know, than I anticipated they would be better, meaning more fun, meeting, lots of people having incredible opportunities. And you know, another word I could use is grateful, because I am so grateful. I'm not big on resolutions, like, yes, you know, I try to be my best person every day. Okay, who showed up for you in an unexpected way? I want to know it better be me.

00:05:54
Speaker 1: Who showed up. It's always you, Kathy.

00:05:57
Speaker 2: Thank you.

00:05:58
Speaker 1: Kathy's always there for me. I have one that what did twenty twenty five ask of you that you weren't expecting?

00:06:11
Speaker 2: Well enough?

00:06:12
Speaker 1: We did this together.

00:06:14
Speaker 2: Oh, give me a hand, give me more.

00:06:16
Speaker 1: We were on ABC pajump up partying.

00:06:22
Speaker 2: Oh oh, can you know that? Actually? Is I That is actually a good answer because it was the unexpected, unexpected and so much fun even be falling in the bushes backwards with guys.

00:06:36
Speaker 1: I wish that was on film. I wish it.

00:06:39
Speaker 2: Was that was.

00:06:42
Speaker 1: Being on mel season was a surprise and we weren't expecting it. Is there something that you're proud of surviving this year? Cuth?

00:06:51
Speaker 2: You know I think like anyone you know you and are human were I think Josh surviving, I survived. It's a strong word.

00:07:03
Speaker 1: I mean I know what mine is. That's the month of December.

00:07:07
Speaker 2: I gotta say I have not been home one I don't think, maybe two nights this month, so I'm waiting on It's this is Survival of the Fittest December.

00:07:15
Speaker 1: Should be reviving d December.

00:07:18
Speaker 2: It is funny, but I have to tell you. One of the things I was going to ask you and since you know, you seem to know all the answers, I haven't answer to this one. What is a simple pleasure that you'd be discovered in twenty twenty five? Can I tell you what mine is? Because you're gonna laugh.

00:07:34
Speaker 1: Yes.

00:07:34
Speaker 2: So, my son in law, Johnny, loves to play cards. I love to play cards. My husband hated games, hated to play cards. I love them. My poor seven year old granddaughter, I'm teaching her to play. Every last night, I taught her how to play checkers. I swear that the child is one hundred and two fever and I'm saying, Okay, Linley, we're gonna learn how to play checkers. She looked at me, like, you know, and she learns. She's good. But I the simple pleasures of spending family time. I know it sounds so, you know, people say all the time spending. You know, I'm so grateful for my family. But we went to the beach, you remember, I took my kids down to the beach and we played card games and board games at night. And that is like a lost art. I lost family time. And for me, that that playing cards, spending time with our kids around the table, you know, cheating at cards and not getting caught. It was so much fun. What about games I.

00:08:29
Speaker 1: Do and the simple pleasure of playing golf that I got to rediscover this year.

00:08:33
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, simple, you said simple.

00:08:37
Speaker 1: It's a simple pleasure only because I'm out all day and I don't receive phone calls because I turn it off. That just concentrate on the game.

00:08:47
Speaker 2: If you think golf is simple.

00:08:49
Speaker 1: It's got to be. I suck at it, but who cares. I enjoyed doing it.

00:08:59
Speaker 2: Last week I went to our like final golf. I think I've played twice this year. But I went for the Christmas party and they do this like round robin gifts, and I always give a nice gift because I don't want somebody's thrown away gift from last year, right, so I like this year. I gave a lovely box of scented soaps and a beautiful hand painted dish towel, like things I wanted, so I bought it for somebody else. This year, I lucked out. I got that wasn't a dozen, but I got two sleeves of golf balls.

00:09:28
Speaker 1: Oh nice new new not even you very nice.

00:09:31
Speaker 2: I was good.

00:09:32
Speaker 1: I went out and got my gift last night and I'm I got your peanuts and fifty dollars worth of lottery tickets.

00:09:40
Speaker 2: Wait, that's not a wide elephant.

00:09:43
Speaker 1: Why it has to be for him or her?

00:09:46
Speaker 2: No? No, I'm stuck on the fifty dollars that was our limit. Oh hell yeah, I want to call this particular one. I'm involved in a few of them. Listen, if you win, if the person wins, you got, I'm gonna have to share, that's right. Disclaimer goes if you win anything more than one thousand dollars, I get half. Okay, what let me ask you? What did Because we talk about communication so much and what it means to communicate effectively, what did twenty twenty five teach you about communication? So?

00:10:20
Speaker 1: For me, I always know that how important communication, that's what we stand for. But what it did teach me the lack of communication could be detrimental.

00:10:30
Speaker 2: Ooh, that sounds very heavy.

00:10:32
Speaker 1: It is, okay, Well, I one says that they're communicators and they're not, And how do you make them realize that they're not? This is not communication? You need to talk, you know. Well?

00:10:45
Speaker 2: I think I was just gonna say some people communicate differently, and that's if twenty twenty five taught me anything. As everyone knows or about to find out, I'm an I'm an interrupter. It's one of my resolutions that I never make that I'm making that I will interrupt less than twenty twenty five, sorry, twenty twenty six, which means I've got a few hours here to keep it drinking. But I think that you know, for me, listening more is is important a part of communication as speaking your mind. But to your point, if you're listening more, the other person has to be able to speak his or her mind in a way that you under you know that we understand. And I think that that is something that I mean it. I just wish every year we got older, communication got easier. But it doesn't seem to.

00:11:39
Speaker 1: It doesn't, it doesn't. I don't know what's one way you became a better partner or friend this year.

00:11:48
Speaker 2: Well, you're going to take issue with this. I was hoping you wouldn't ask me this question. Well, because you're not gonna lie.

00:11:54
Speaker 1: Because you're trying not to interrupt. You're trying not to tell me how to run my life.

00:11:59
Speaker 2: That's what I wrote. That was exactly what I wrote that I'm trying to listen more and give less advice and less someone's paying me for it, which you're not. But we could we could change that rule tuesdays. And I am because I think sometimes, you know, I read some really good stuff on the internet. You know, some some some of these people that have made careers out of writing books and writing spiritual and you know, self help stuff on the internet. Mel Robbins comes to mind. I mean, she's amazing. But one of the things that I am learning is that sometimes people just want you to listen. They don't want your your advice, they don't want your advice, they want nothing. They just want to say. And I'm a fixer, as we all know. That's why I left Paradise so much. You know, when when Bailey came to me and said, you know, such and such happened, I was like, sweetie, here this is you know, here's thank you, Kathy. I mean it was so easy, she asked me. I told him it was great. But a lot of times, especially as people get older, they just want to vent. So that how did you become?

00:13:08
Speaker 1: How's you the one that says when did you feel most like yourself this year? I answer that every day, every day every day I feel like myself.

00:13:18
Speaker 2: Well, I'm pretty much. I mean, I wrote my answer would be paradise because I just felt like that was a month of Kathy being herself on steroids. But but I do you and I are very similar that way. We are pretty much ourselves. I think. Do you think most people reflect on I mean, besides most people getting hammered on yours, Eve, do you think people reflect a lot on all year long?

00:13:43
Speaker 1: On a year now, like the Christmas season the last two weeks, that's what.

00:13:47
Speaker 2: While you're baking, while you're eating up the rest of your Christmas cookies.

00:13:50
Speaker 1: No, I got to start baking, God tomorrow, I'm late. I was away a lot this month, so yeah, take that back. Sorry, Yes, it's trying not to eat all the cookies that I baked.

00:14:05
Speaker 2: You know what, give them away, Susan. It's the end of the year, given me.

00:14:07
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the last day, Kathy.

00:14:11
Speaker 2: You know what, I cannot believe it's twenty twenty six about to be. That means, got to stop interrupting. So wait, you're not making a resolution then, right.

00:14:20
Speaker 1: Well, I don't really make resolutions, but I have things in my mind that I want to try to do better.

00:14:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, if you will, we all do. That's good. We're still trying to be better. All right. Well, let's ask about our podcast, because you know we're coming up on can you Believe? Two years in Holma? It's insane. I love how I love it too. How would you describe this podcast in one word?

00:14:45
Speaker 1: Fulfilling? I have the same word as you.

00:14:52
Speaker 2: I cannot. Okay, that's creepy. Uh, that's really I mean. Now my hair's getting as dark as you're. Now. We're thinking in the same I did because I love doing it. We talked about this. We love it hearing the people's our listeners questions are their advice? Do you have a favorite episode?

00:15:12
Speaker 1: You know what? I tried to think about that. There's so many different ones, some that were so fun. But the ones that really connect with me is when we read those questions and I feel for these people making their choices of whatever it was. It Some of them are really emotional and it stays with me. You know, I don't know that I actually have a favorite.

00:15:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of feel the same way we do a lot of them. Yeah, I know. I love it when you and I just jaw with each other. I love it when we have guests because I love that we get to know more about them, they get to know more about us. But I think the most surprising thing to me in general about this podcast because really, this is just you and I. I mean, it feels it's just you and I have any conversation, right. But obviously the hope is millions of people are downloading and listening to it. But what I've realized is it's another cliche. Words matter, Our words matter. People are genuinely asking, and that's that is shocking on the one hand, but also there's a lot of responsibility that goes along with that, to the extent that people are really asking our opinion. Who are really hurting? You know, how can I make my life better? You two seem to have such a good friendship. I'm so lonely. How do There's a lot of responsibility that goes in to trying to answer with knowing that we're not therapists and we're not doctors, and we you know, we're not like just anything, life experience, life experience, and so I feel a responsibility to really try to help people. And you and I have talked about this when we're not together. How many especially. It always happens in airports when we're together. People come up and they say we've changed their lives, and that is the most fulfilling. That's why I wrote fulfilling.

00:17:03
Speaker 1: Remember the one time cried? Yeah, shared about it.

00:17:06
Speaker 2: I've been saying how their lives are better. They've gotten up off the sofa, you know. I just I love that.

00:17:12
Speaker 1: So, Okay, what did you learn about yourself as a host this year?

00:17:21
Speaker 2: Well? I think that's for me, is what I just answered, that my words matter, that it's not just up here John saying the first thing that comes to my mind, but trying to be really thoughtful about how I answer what about you?

00:17:36
Speaker 1: For me? I really do have patience. I didn't think I had any.

00:17:42
Speaker 2: I think I have patience with with what people with patients of it with our podcast. Oh interesting, Okay, that's interesting.

00:17:53
Speaker 1: So was there a conversation we had that's stuck with you longer than you expect it? I think that one goes back to yes, when we read things that are sad or we feel the heartfelt, you.

00:18:09
Speaker 2: Know, can I tell you the one? I'm throwing another question here, What is the biggest what is the most disappointing conversation or call in or letter we've had. I got that answer the guy from wherever he was whatever state who said he really wanted to meet me, and I said, we never called and he never called. So thanks a lot, But glad we're wriping that one out of twenty twenty five.

00:18:33
Speaker 1: Something that our listeners might not realize that goes into making this show. What do you think, I say, Hell, it affects us for one, listening to people. How we affect others giving our advice. Yeah, Well, our research and what we would do to prepare for the show.

00:18:56
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think a lot of people think we just show up and start talking, and that's the goal obviously, to make it look like it's just an easy conversation. But you know, we try to research and know what we're talking about before we get on there.

00:19:11
Speaker 1: And you know what else, Kathy, like we say all the time, keep your questions coming. If there's something that our listeners want to know about or want to hear about it, let us know what that topic is and we will be on it. That's what we're here for.

00:19:24
Speaker 2: Yeah. And one thing I want to say, which you know this is, Uh, these are recorded, sometimes the record of the day that you listen to them. Sometimes they're recorded and we get it just depends on our schedule. But we have producers, We have people who help make us look good. They help us with topics and guests. So you know, if you think this is the Kaptain Show, yes it's not. We have a lot of people in the background helping us. So always, you know, hats off to them, all right, Susan, Yes, we have to addict what's going to happen in twenty six I mean, I want to talk about I don't know if we can the cruise Bachelor Nation vacation. We're definitely doing that in November. I can't believe, you know, I used to think that was so far away. It's not really that far away. But I wonder if we can talk because, uh, Taylor's is the is the new Bachelorette and she so do you predict she gets engaged?

00:20:32
Speaker 1: I would think so.

00:20:34
Speaker 2: I think she will. Yeah, I think so, I think she will. And I'm so envious that she got to do that. But I bet you know she's She's had a colorful life.

00:20:44
Speaker 1: But I'm excited.

00:20:45
Speaker 2: I cannot wait to watch her show. I think it's going to be one of the best Bachelor shows. But all right, so, but we don't know that much about you because it's not on yet. But here's some other predictions I have. I think Kelsey, didn't they say they were getting married in twenty twenty six, No, I think so. No, twenty twenty seven.

00:21:07
Speaker 1: I remember them saying a date. I remember, not a.

00:21:10
Speaker 2: Date I think they said. Anyway, I'm predicting Kelsey and Joey will either get married in twenty twenty six or they will announce a date. I think Charity and Dowton same thing. They're either gonna.

00:21:24
Speaker 1: Get they get married in twenty six. I don't know the ones that shared I believe.

00:21:29
Speaker 2: I'm just saying. I think we're gonna have some great Bachelor weddings. I think we're gonna have some Bachelor babies being born, not by you and me, but I think some of those are coming. I don't know.

00:21:42
Speaker 1: I think, uh, and some couples getting together from Bachelor that weren't the lead or the chosen one, you know, others.

00:21:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got a few of those coming to I think, yeah, we're better have to get some of those on our show, all right, what do you what do you want to bring more of into this show next year? Our show.

00:22:05
Speaker 1: More of more of exciting things, something Jesus.

00:22:12
Speaker 2: And we're not talking about sex toys.

00:22:13
Speaker 1: We're not, oh God, sex toys.

00:22:15
Speaker 2: No fashion.

00:22:17
Speaker 1: I don't know for anything. Yeah, I don't know what our fans want, and if they give me a thing, we're going to run with it.

00:22:27
Speaker 2: Yeah. I would like to know. Again, I think people who are golden there's only so many topics in the world. But I think I would like to have as many guests as we've had. I'd like to I would like to know how they're doing. I would like to know how some of the people from Bachelor Nation that have sort of disappeared, they've gone on with their lives. I want to know what they're doing.

00:22:54
Speaker 1: What they're doing now.

00:22:55
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:22:56
Speaker 1: I mean sometimes people that have been on the shows, as you know, Kat, that's what they did. They were on the show and that was it. Other people have gone on many and like us, we're still in their face. People complain about it sometimes, like why are you back? Because people enjoy this smile Okay, they enjoy our banter, they enjoy hearing what we have to say.

00:23:20
Speaker 2: But I agree, but I also think I think some people would be really interested. And I'm struggling to come up with names right now because I didn't plan for that. But like some of the people that were on the show, most people, let me back up, most people who come on The Bachelor or the Bachelorette, they're on TV. They do this dating thing, they put their lives out there, and then most everybody goes back to their life. They might change the career. I think more and more you're seeing a lot more influencers coming out of this, because that's the way of the world, that's what's happening with social media, et cetera. But I gotta be honest, I can't even give a name. Really, I'm interested in any Bachelor Nation person who I spent the time watching their seasons. I was, you know, I wanted to know what they were doing. I was so wrapped up in their life on the show, and now where are they what are they doing? Did they get married, did they have kids? What job did they do? It's like I'm a lawyer. I just want to know what goes on in these people's lives.

00:24:28
Speaker 1: Kathy, aren't we excited and we're hopeful that maybe they come up with a new series with you and I's fans.

00:24:41
Speaker 2: Relentless. Okay, so we got We've got about two minutes here, Susan, give me your pilot. What's the pilot look like for this show? Tell me you're.

00:24:49
Speaker 1: Golden Girls out and wild, no, just living life like what it's like. You remember the old show The Golden Girls.

00:24:58
Speaker 2: I still watch it on reruns in the middle of right, I can't slap.

00:25:00
Speaker 1: Every I think we would be perfect for.

00:25:02
Speaker 2: That, you know, I think people would be one of the things I think our audience would like to know. When you and I are out together, people come up and they're always so surprised that we're together, like, oh, you two really are friends? I said, yeah, I hate her sometimes I want to kill her worse like sisters. But yes we are. And people are shocked that you and I travel, that we see each other, that we're friends absolutely well. And then the other question I always asked us is did you how many takes did you you know, to do those videos like we do our coffee talks and stuff. I love our coffee talks.

00:25:37
Speaker 1: Go please it's us rolls.

00:25:40
Speaker 2: I think we should do coffee talks here. Could be in twenty twenty six and just see what I mean, just see.

00:25:48
Speaker 1: It in my room, and we really will have coffee some of our coffee talks, as they noticed there was no coffee.

00:25:54
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, if we do coffee talks in the afternoon, can it be wine talk? Kathy? W H Kathy w H I n E? Drinking w I n E.

00:26:14
Speaker 1: Can you recall a favorite episode that we recorded this year? I have one, I have two. One of my favorites. Who was it that came on Kathy and we did nothing but laugh? Hakeem well always honkey. Yes, some were too serious, some were fun. We had a couple on.

00:26:40
Speaker 2: Oh see, you are better than I. Because in the moment, I will tell you in the moment, that's why I feel so fulfilled doing this. In the moment, I am loving. It doesn't matter who I'm interviewing. I love interviewing that person. To me, it's like a puzzle. I like seeing it's not the air their dirty laundry. I just like, wait, am I going to get a little tidbit here that you know they haven't admitted up till now? Like I like the I like the challenge of doing that. But I don't know. I don't have a favorite. I had gone way back, like when Jordan and Keith, remember we did those Charles l Yeah, I mean it was fun getting their takes on on Alie Joe. Oh, Alie Joe. I love her too. I don't know, I don't have a favorite. By the way, speaking of Ali Joe in predictions, Yeah, Ali Joe is dating Sick. I don't know if you know the story, but they were supposed to be on Paradise together and they weren't. YadA. Yeah, they left within twenty four hours of each other, but they were coming to meet each other. Well, they're now dating, seriously dating, and we talk, we text all the time. I believe that someone's going to get a ring on her hand this year.

00:27:52
Speaker 1: Nice, I did. I think a lot that came out from Paradise. A lot of relationships.

00:27:57
Speaker 2: Rub it in, Susan put rub it in, Kathy.

00:28:00
Speaker 1: It wasn't for Golden you know, you're just mommy there. It was good you were there.

00:28:05
Speaker 2: I was a good mommy. Yeah, but no, there were a lot of relationships. And I just I mean, and you and I've talked about this. Batchelor is a great story. It's a great. It is the structure, but it does work. I mean, I so my I hope for twenty twenty six, starting with Frankie Taylor, Frankie Paul, she's starting with artists. I hope that she finds the love of her life. I'm telling you, I sit there so envious. I so wish it were me. I so wish that that we were forty years younger and just no, no, no, no, I don't want to be I love the age. I just wish that I had a guy that loved me and was going to put a ring on my end. In twenty twenty six, yeah, right, do you have?

00:28:49
Speaker 1: How do you hope listeners feel when they tune in next year? What do you think? How would you get them?

00:28:56
Speaker 2: That's so easy for me.

00:29:00
Speaker 1: I come to my laugh.

00:29:01
Speaker 2: I wanted to laugh. I want them to feel like it was time well spent, whether they're driving in the car, out walking or sitting knitting or baking cakes, you know, whatever this week that week bring. Because you know, there's a lot of sadness in the world, there's a lot of troubles in the world. If we could just make someone laugh and enjoy the day a little bit. Wait, I have to say one other guy, one other episode. I loved it just came to me. Jared Freed now speaking about I would be a cougar for him. I think you guys would be great together to bend God. I love him. I don't think he's ever going to settle down, he says he is. I said when when you're in a wheelchair.

00:29:38
Speaker 1: I know he keeps saying the once. How about remember Mark Anderson?

00:29:41
Speaker 2: We thought he was going to be the next that's another prediction. You think. I bet he gets engaged yes year.

00:29:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I totally think that.

00:29:48
Speaker 2: Oh, now that would be interesting if he gets engaged to Barbara. What about Joey and Kelty they have a double wedding. Oh that we've had Leslie or Little Leslie, little sweet Lesson, Yes, who I adore? I don't know, I just all of them. I liked it when we had Jill on because you know she's from Jill is funny. I had fun with her. Yeah, she's cool, but she's she's one of these people you don't know what box you're gonna get when you open it up with Jill, like she'll never know. Yeah, she can be very funny. She can be she's an interesting person.

00:30:26
Speaker 1: And I know and Sam I had such a crush.

00:30:29
Speaker 2: No, no, I just told you that's going to be a ring. That's you can't have a crush on somebo whose drinking games.

Speaker 1: Susan, she's so cute. They're both so cute in my Hakeem always.

00:30:39
Speaker 2: You know what, can I tell you the worst podcast we had in twenty twenty five? I think it was Hakeem for me. I could have been I could have been out picking daisies on the side of the highway. I mean, you two were carrying on like there was no tomorrow. I was like, seriously, do I even need to be here?

00:30:57
Speaker 1: It happens with us. I don't know why.

Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess what's after sixty nine.

00:31:47
Speaker 1: I don't want to know.

00:31:49
Speaker 2: Then you're gonna be the same, you know what. I gotta be honest with you, just like I have to before we wrap up here, just like twenty you know, the change of the year to never matters like it's another year. Time is just and time is a number, age is a number, all those things. That's why I never make resolutions, because you know, it's like working out. How many people say I'm going to wait, I'm gonna start exercising, I'm going to get to gym in January. And you know what, speaking of I go to the gym, as you know, two or three times a week. I hate the gym in January because all these people in comes and they all fall off by February places back to normal again. Thank God. Anyway, that's my PSA. Get to the gym now, don't wait till January.
