Welcome back to Bachelor Happy Hour's Golden Hour. Thanks for joining us. We're so excited to be back. How are you doing today, Susan? We're sure. I excited. We've got great people. We've got lots to talk about, and make sure you check out our past episodes, because we've been having a lot of fun. We've answered a lot of good questions and chatting with your Bachelor Nation fans. Well, let me just say, we have a blast when we don't have guests, but today we're going to have a bigger blast because we have a super guy, I say it firsthand, knowing that from Joan's season of the Golden Bachelorette. Welcome, Dan. How are you today? Hey, Dan. Good to be here. Thank you very much.

It's nice to see you again. How have you been? How's your new year going? How's your Valentine's Day plans? You know, give us the scoop here. Valentine's. Is that coming up? I've barely got back to New Year's, Valentine's, Christmas, all of the above. It's all coming up. Tell us, what's been going on? Oh, you know, it's been an interesting and crazy time on a personal note. I flew directly from the finale when I saw you two and everyone else that was there and my father had been diagnosed with deoblastoma and he passed away.

Oh, I'm so sorry. So I flew directly to Kansas City. My siblings and I were there. My mother for two months the whole time. And he faced it with courage and a positive attitude and he was ready and that made us all a peace. So that's what I've been up to. Oh, gosh, Chan.

I'm sorry. I have two friends who died from glioblastoma. It's, yeah, it's, you know, it's, it's a, it's not, it's exactly what it is. It's a horrible, horrible diagnosis. How old was your dad? And it's very fast. How old was he? Which is a blessing, but that's what goes on.

And so he handled it courageously. And thanks to family and friends that supported us through all that time. So time for, time for life to move on. Oh, and mom's doing what. And that's the main thing. How old was your dad? 89. Well, you know what?

He had a great life then. And he's the first to say that too. Yeah. At 89, I wouldn't mind checking out now. That's your turn, yeah. Can I tell you, he's a stoic man and wise and conservative, but he loved all this Bachelor Nation stuff. It was so much fun for him.

So thank you guys for being. Well, I wish he can. You know what? I believe, Dan, he's listening to us today. So, you know, he's, he's laughing. He's, you know, did he play golf? He did, yeah. He's up there, he's up there playing the back nine saying, guys, I got to take a break.

I got to go listen to this. Exactly, exactly. He's tuned in. Well, God rest his soul, and we're glad that you were there with him and your family. Okay, so I've got to pivot here because, Dan, yeah, please. Susan, I believe, has a question for you. What a surprise. Okay.

So first and foremost, There's like these questions of the day and we're going to talk about things. Oh, no, that's not. I know. I know. And then we're going to get the audience to know you better with lots of questions. We have plans, Dan. We have plans.

I do have one big, giant question. And when she says I, she means we. When we met you, it seemed as though you and Edith were getting to know each other. Sure. I want to know. Curious minds want to know. did it go any further? Are you guys seeing each other? Are you a thing or just friends? Well, Edith is awesome. First of all, not the love about Edith. She's so great. And we were

I want her hair. I want her hair. Isn't that great? Yeah. I want her butt. Her body is beautiful. Okay. Let's let's be nice to eat it there. Go ahead. I have a few questions for you now. Wait, you didn't answer mine. We need an answer here. We didn't answer here, did. You can't have I told you what I've been up to the last two months, and I happen to be back in Naples, which is home for me for a week. And I'm going back to Kansas City where my mother is on Saturday. So I really haven't had an opportunity to date, period. And we live on opposite coast. So if I was in L.A., but you told me, Dan, you told me the five seconds that I got to talk to you at Joan and Chalk's engagement party when you weren't otherwise engaged, you told me that you were thinking about moving to L.A.

to be closer to your sons. Is that happening? Well, everything has gotten pushed this year, Katta. So, yeah, that was my plan to actually move to Orange County. Oh, okay. By now, my daughter and son-in-law live in Anaheim Hills. Oh, nice. That's been my plan and is my plan, but I'm not on a timeline. So maybe at some point this year, I can get that handle.

But I've got real estate here. I've got things to take care of it. Are you in Naples? I'm in Naples, Florida. Yeah. So, Kathy, maybe we should go check out his real estate because we want to go to Naples. Well, I've never been to Naples. And then all over Florida, never Naples.

Yeah. Come on. Is it nice? Is it nice? It's beautiful. It really is a nice beach community, incredible restaurants, great beaches, golf courses. Are you a golfer, Dan? I'm retired from golf, is what I like to say. I'm totally the want to golf in my business career.

How do you retire from golf? I know, right? I found other interests. interest, you know. I still like it. I enjoy it. What's your biggest interest? What do you do? Tell me, what's your, you know. I'm enjoying. I live at the beach. You know, it's 500 feet from my front door. Kathy, we have to look at this real estate. Yeah. And so I'm into nature and fishing, boating and. Dan, can I give you one little bit of a piece of advice here? If you go on a dating site, don't pose with a fit. Do not take a picture of yourself holding up a dead fish. is the biggest or in a mirror in the bathroom yeah don't stand in the mirror with the bathroom and for god's sakes keep your shirt on when you're taking pictures these are these are okay this is basic common sense but what else you would think one would think one would think but most of them don't get it all right dating sites I don't know about that you guys have you guys

tried them oh so many times did you just see how my eyes just bugged out of my head we've all try dating times. Yes. Yes. And you know what? I marry people as you know, and I cannot tell you how many people that I marry that have met on dating sites. Oh, no kidding. Yeah, most of them younger, of course. Have you at success, Dan? I mean, in the past on dating sites. I've been on and off some of the dating apps, you know. Yeah. And I've met some terrific women. And I consider those that I've dated, still friends. And, you know, at this age, we part reasonably. What are we going to get worked up about, right?

Exactly. Whatever reason they didn't work out, but some very, very quality women. So we have a quick question. When a man puts not looking for a long-term relationship. Oh, my God, since that's exactly what I was just going to ask him. Did you put down long-term relationship? What are you looking for on the profile? What do you, that's exactly what I was going to ask you, Dan.

Do you put down friendship, something casual, long-term relationship, marriage? What do you put down? I leave that very unspecific intentionally. You leave it blank? I don't comment because I think that depends on the situation, the person, and it takes two to tango. Right. And there's no checkbox saying start out slow and see where it goes. Correct.

How long have you been single, Dan? Oh, my gosh. I was divorced in 2010, so coming up on 15 years. Yeah, you're still like me. I've been in a couple of long-term relationships and some time in between where I didn't date at all. So I'm in one of those phases right now. Well, you've had a lot on your plate, Dan. Be kind to yourself.

Be kind of yourself here. Be good to you. All right, Susan, you want to start with the question of the day? Okay, here we go. What are some signs that help you see if the purpose? person you're dating is into you or not. How do you know, Dan, if a woman's into you or not? So it's, uh, y'all are confusing anyway, so I don't know.

No, we're not. I think I'm so up front. Go ahead. You think women are confusing? A little bit. Yeah. You know, it's the Venus and Mars thing maybe a little bit. But I, to answer your question, um, you know, I think, if they laugh at my jokes, sincerely.

That's a plus. I throw some bad ones out there. Well, see, if you were with me and you threw a bad one, I'd be like, really, baby, no. Don't never say that one again. If they're honest, then that's a good sign. But are there any telltale signs that you know, what you feel more confident that she's into me? I think if people are asking questions, genuinely, you can sense if it's genuine or if it's programmed or, you know, if they want to talk mostly about themselves. You know, maybe they're trying to get their story out.

That's not really fair. But if they're asking questions about me and my interests, my family, my life. Susan, do you remember we talked about that? Yeah. We talked about that. Susan dated a guy for 10 minutes who all he did was, all he did was talk about himself. And I was one that said offload him. If a guy isn't asking you questions about yourself, if you're not asking him questions, you know, it has to me reciprocal.

call. The benefit of the doubt the first phone call, like maybe he's nervous or whatever, but by the third phone call, I knew his life story, what he drove, blah, blah, blah. He was supposed to be on Jones season. That's, I mean, it was a lot. Susan couldn't even do our podcast because she was very busy writing his biography. She had no time. Kathy, how would you answer that question? Yeah. Completely right. All right. So, yeah, I think that's true. I mean, I think that's, I think you've got a gray handle on it. And like you said, you just haven't had time to right now to get in, but you will. I'll be back. You will.

I'll be back. I never envision being with a woman. I'll just be honest. I'm Jamel Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Politics. On this week's episode, I'm joined by basketball legend, Candice Parker, who stops by to discuss her candid new book, The Can Do Mindset, in which she shares why she waited two years into marriage to come out. Like when I close my eyes at night, every night,

I was like, I need to find my prince charming. Like, it was never a princess. Like, that never entered into my mind. But, you know, as I learned, sometimes life gives you things wrapped in a package that you didn't expect it. And that was just, you know, and honestly, it took me a long time to be okay with myself. Make sure to listen to this week's episode of Spolitics on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Hi, my name is Enya Umanzor. And I'm Drew Phillips.

And we run a podcast called Emergency Intercom. If you're a crime junkie and you love crimes, we're not the podcast for you. But if you have unmedicated ADHD... Oh my God, perfect.

Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire that not a whole lot was salvageable. These are the coldest of cold cases, but everything is about to change. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime. A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA, using the new scientific tools, they're finding clues in evidence so tiny you might just miss it.

He never thought he was going to get caught. And I just looked at my computer screen. I was just like, gotcha. On America's Crime Lab, we'll learn about victims and survivors.

into the world of music and entertainment with raw and honest conversations with some of your favorite Latin artists and celebrities. You didn't have to audition? No, I didn't audition. I haven't audition in, like, over 25 years. Oh, wow. That's a real G-talk right there.

And, of course, we'll explore deeper topics dealing with identity, struggles, and all the issues affecting our Latin community. You feel like you get a little whitewash because you have to do the code switching? I won't say whitewash because at the end of the day, you know, I'm me. Yeah.

Okay, so the next thing that we do, we just want to talk about your life a little bit more than we have. So I want to know prior to the show and really how is your life changed? That's what I want it. Well, and I know you've had a tough time because of your dad.

But, you know, are you different now than you were but when you went on the show? Or you think differently, maybe. Yeah, a little different perspective, Susan. And Kathy, to answer your question, I don't know that has changed me to my fundamentally or anything. Like anything else, it's an amazing experience and I learned so much from it. And I, you know, I have all these new friends. and that's that's definitely a change the one thing that we've talked about the guys as as post show and that is and me personally is I have a lot of good guy friends that go back to elementary

school high school college that kind of thing all over the country because I've lived in a few different places here in Naples Kansas City California Iowa where I grew up in Des Moines and and so but they're all married and they're great and I love their wives we're friends too but to be around single guys of my age it was unique to me and it opened my eyes and I need somebody I can relate to in that respect.

It's amazing that you can make a friendship at this stage of our life and then that good is one. But I will tell particular, right? Yes, and we all come with baggage. We, you know, we all have children, grandkids, we've all had divorces, deaths,

we've all had, but I just want to commend you because I have a way, I really don't know you that well but, you know, we chatted a little bit. and but I will to me you don't even know this one of my and I've told Susan this one of the ways I judge a man is I judge all people this way

if they have friends from every avenue of their life what you just said you're a good person because it's never ever served me wrong people who only have current friends there's an issue I don't know why it's never

put me wrong so you must be a great guy Because you just said you have friends from everywhere. So you do that. I am very understanding friends. Take the compliment, Dan. Take the compliment. Okay. Thank you.

I will. That is a nice compliment. Thank you. Dan, if there is a golden paradise, the question is, would you go? And if you were to go, who would you want to see on that beach? Well, you two for sure. Hey, yes. The guy ran for governor last year.

You have to say that, Dan. What else? Who else? No, seriously, would you go? You know, I don't understand Bachelor in paradise and what would go on with us, golden people. Yeah, it would have to be different. You know, I'm open to anything. Absolutely. Yeah, you know. That's how we feel. Right. I mean, do you like outdoor sports? You know, are you going to have a drink? Are you going to play pickleball? Are you going to play, oh, you're not going to play golf? Are you going to swim?

I play. I play golf. I'd swim. I try everything. I'm an outdoorsman, and I am. Can you date 10 women at once? I can barely handle one. Are you the jealous type? You know what? I think it's good to have a touch of jealousy. Yeah, that's what I say. But not too much.

Just the touch. Can we just answer that? You said no. No, I said a touch a little bit. And then I said, what exactly do you mean? That means you, that means you care about them. Yes. Thank you.

No. Yes. A touch. I'm not saying you can't be obsessive and possessive. I agree. See, to me, if I'm dating. If I'm dating, no, I was married to my husband for almost 46 years. I was never jealous. You know why? I trusted him implicitly. And I felt like we were lucky to have each other. I didn't spend one ounce of time worrying that he was with someone else or wanted someone else. I did. Maybe I was stupid. I mean, that's not. That's more of a trust thing, but a jealousy thing. If somebody's paying a lot of attention to, somebody and you get a little. Oh, then I'm going to kill him. My point.

Sorry, you didn't make that clear. He's mine. He's mine, Susan. Head over there. Get out of you. Let's move it right along. So, all right. Let's go.

So we always ask if you were on a deserted island. And we've asked every guy from your season. It's been interesting. I want the answer, but I also want to know why. Aside from Susan and me, who of course will accommodate

you to a deserted island because Susan loves to cook and I'll make you laugh. Good. And as long as you go fishing because there's not going to be a store of my food. And I don't really care that much about food. So we're all good. We'll just set the table. All right. We've got that covered.

All right. What three guys from Jones season would you bring with you? And why? I want to know why. Right. Give me one second. Remember, it's a political answer. Sure it is. Sure it is. And if you're, if you're going to keep it to three, and then I, and maybe the reasons will become clear. So, you know, my boy Keith, my boy, Greg. And then, you know, I might need to bring Pascal just because of entertain us.

You know, Pascal is a popular choice. Tell me why. I tell you what, he is a good-hearted man. I mean, he is, I consider him a good friend. I consider everybody from the show a good friend. And Pascal certainly would bring, he's a great conversationalist. We're going to need that on the Desert Island. He's entertaining. He's got his own perspective in the world. And I get Pascal. He's, I get him. So that's cool.

Greg is one of the smartest guys that I've met. And he has. Is Greg the guy that I had the beard that was a VP or lives in Florida somewhere? Yeah, he lives. He lives in Longboat Key. Yes. And Salt Lake City. But Florida is basically his home.

And he was a roommate. So was Pascal. So I know those guys probably as well as anybody, too. Yeah. And so, but Greg is, he's super intelligent. He's highly educated. And he and I share a similar perspective on the world, I would say. We laugh at the same things.

We find some things about life completely ridiculous. I used to think Kathy and him would make a good match. Yeah. In the very beginning of the show, I did. I used to think you guys would. Well, Susan, Matt, that, that. You think, Kathy? Do I think I make a good?

I don't even know him. Okay. So here's the thing about me. I am very, I actually was talking to Guy, just friends. He and I are just friends, truly, older sister, whatever. But he said to me, you know, I see you with someone really loud. And he did. I forgot to tell you that, Susan.

He said, I see him somebody like who's just out there and full of energy. And I said, you're wrong. That's not I, I'm a lot. I'm full of energy. I actually prefer men who are quieter. Quiet and calming. An intelligent man, though. And intelligent, but calming because that calms me.

Like, it would be hysteria if I dated a guy that, you know, was like a Jack. Right. I couldn't do it. I love Jack. He's a great guy. No, no, no, I love him. No, no, I love him. He's in Florida now.

He's in Marco Island today. He's just getting to Florida. Yeah. So do you get together with all the guys? Notice how I, by the way, I circumvented that question because I'm supposed to ask you, Dan, who you see Susan and me with, who would you fix us up with? Wow. Okay. Well, now that I have insight to you, Kathy, I need some more insight on what Susan's looking for. So tell me about that. Just somebody to adore me like I adore them. There is. I don't ask for much.

Women are simple, Dan. They are. We all just want someone who loves us, who we can love. Men think we're more complex than we really. are yeah that's true all right well i'm listening you're your sage with your wisdom thank you yes yes okay so uh because he's so fun and full of laughs he's an energetic kind of guy when you chose him who's that i'm sorry to go keith to go on the deserted island keith yeah yeah and keith is just he's just he's happy about everything if you watched him he's like all in with oh yeah we reminds me and me he does everything's good yeah yeah yeah and So wait, Susan, is that your, oh, wait, maybe that's it, Dan.

Maybe you should pair her up with Keith. So would it be good to be somebody just like you, two of the same? Isn't it said that opposites attract? I don't know. Yeah, I think so. I think opposites attract. I think I need an introvert because I'm not one. My husband was, my husband was quiet guy.

You're looking, I don't know if our cast is the right group then. I don't know if there's many introverts there. I know. No, I wouldn't know what to do. They were there not anymore. Yeah. But that's, is that great that, you know, that you made such good friend? And do you see the other guys from the show?

I've seen a few, yes. And we talk text, I should say, and sometimes talk. But, yeah, there's been a couple occasions that I've seen some of the guys and not everybody. But we're trying to, as we move around the country for different things, you know, include visits to each other. And some with intents. Like when I was in Kansas City, we had pre-planned a trip. And everybody.

Yeah, chalk and I. and Keith and Jordan had put together and we were hoping David was close he had another obligation or excuse me Gary was close I was going to say he was David he had a golf obligation I know who David is he lives he's the guy with the unbuttoned shirt the gold necklace

who owns a ranch in the city of Austin which doesn't exist that wasn't David that was his name David was the guy from I'm telling you're talking to I didn't know his name but yeah I know David he was only there briefly but yeah yeah he really good

guy. Yeah. But yeah, so introverts for both of you, it sounds like. Well, I mean, I say introvert, quieter guy. I can't, I mean, everybody who is on all the time, because I tend to be on a lot of the time, I can't deal with someone. I mean, Jack's a great guy. We've talked, Susan's good friends with them. But I mean, that, you know, that's just too. And it'd be too much for you, too, Susan. I mean, I know, I know. But no, I love the fact that you got to experience this. as we did. It has, it didn't change my life because I've always been friendly and make lots of friends. I never meet a stranger. But making these serious friendships like Kathy and I will go to death being best friends. Well, we will unless we fight over the same guy and then you're dead to me.

I wouldn't allow it. You're not as simple as you say you are. All right. I'm very simple. All right. Dan, we're so happy for you that you got to experience this. We're very, sorry for what you had to deal with and that's just part of life but now i'm excited for you to move on for you you are and you know what dan it it will you will it's time and and it's going to happen but so we do this thing where we read letters from fans and we give advice and because you are the lucky

guy today we want you to help us weigh in so i'm going to read a question and then you're going to help give it advice okay are you good with that great all right anonymous and Some of the questions are anonymous, and we don't care if they have a name. Okay. Anonymous asks, hi ladies, I could really use your help. My husband had a heart attack about eight months ago and has been stuck in a funk ever since. His health has been improving remarkably, and the doctor gave him the green light to start doing some light activities he used to dabble in. However, he hasn't wanted to really do anything.

He takes care of himself and make sure to do light exercise. but anything that's not doctor-mandated, he doesn't do. He's normally such a fun and social guy, but he's been pretty reclusive. I feel like he hasn't been able to relax, still given all that he's been through. How can I help him get out of this and start feeling like himself again? We love you both and thank you in advance. What says you, Dan? Well, first of all, she's an incredible person to come out and seek help

and to know that she just wants to be there for her husband. That's amazing. That's great. And her heart's certainly in the right place. That goes for the territory, Dan. Sure. Yeah. And it should.

But it doesn't always, right? You're right. Kudos to her. And she's trying to figure out how to bring him along. I don't know. He just had this life-changing experience and he survived it. Maybe he's a little in touch with his mortality so he's more cautious. Listen to him, be there for him.

And, you know, don't give up on. proposing some light activities that would be out of doctors. I think he's scared. I think men are a little scared and when something like that happens, that's huge. He doesn't want to die. You've got to give them time and like you said, be there for him.

Encourage him. But I don't think there's a whole lot more you can do. He's got to come on his own. Well, and I think, Dan, you had a great idea saying, hey, let's go for a walk or sort of slowly easing into it. But

If he were married to me, I'd be like, all right, babe, the worst is over. You've got to get up. I see, that's your hard, Susan. You're hard. You have to be kind. But I would say, I would say that he probably is scared. Yeah, I agree. And you have to respect that because, you know, these are, that's a truly a life change.

You know, it certainly is. Right. And I can tell you from the male's perspective, at least of our generation for sure, and I don't, I don't think this goes away in any generation. actually we want to be the provider and the perfector of our our partners our loved ones are our wives and um you know now he's questioning his abilities to do that because he's in a weekend state and that's understand you're so wise listen to him you're a good catch dan oh yeah we'll eat it Susan and kathy are coming after dan now dan let me tell you what's going to happen that's going to be a sound bite. Social media is going to pick up on. Kathy and Susan, both want

Dan. So buckle up, Dan, get ready. Let's go. Social media is awesome, is that? Oh, God. I never envisioned being with a woman. I'll just be honest. I'm Jamel Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts Politics. On this week's episode, I'm joined by basketball legend, Candice Parker, who stops by to discuss her candid new book, The Can Do Mindset. in which she shares why she waited two years into marriage to come out. Like, when I close my eyes at night, every night, I was like, I need to find my prince charming. Like, it was never a princess. Like, that never entered into my mind.

But, you know, as I learned, sometimes life gives you things wrapped in a package that you didn't expect it. And that was just, you know, and honestly, it took me a long time to be okay with myself. Make sure to listen to this week's episode of Spolitics on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hi, my name is Enya Umanzor. And I'm Drew Phillips.

What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth?

Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York State number, own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short-term, highly regimented correctional programs that mimic military basic training. These programs aimed to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was overwhelming. And you don't know who's next to you yet.

And we didn't know what to expect in the morning. Nobody tells you anything. Listen to shock incarceration on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Life is freaking hard. And growth doesn't happen in comfort. It happens in motion, even when you're hurting. All from one of my favorite spaces, The Kitchen.

You know, I haven't posted in a couple months.

I was trying to be active and I've got my daughters and my nieces helped me most. How many kids do you have, Dan? I have two daughters. Thanks. And how old are they? 42 and 26. Did they have kids, married? Both married, yes.

And one in Tampa, one in Orange County. And one has, I have a granddaughter in Tampa, and my youngest daughter and her husband were waiting. They'll be grandkids there soon. How old is your granddaughter? She's a senior in high school, 17. Oh, wow. You need a new baby now. Yeah, somebody to spoil.

So to be clear, not. his own, his grand trial. Amen. I'll get there. Now it's time for Bachelor Nation and all our listeners to get to know Dan a little better. So we have a little fun game and we'd like to do

this before we have to wrap up today. These are fun, easy questions, okay? So we ask the one. Don't believe or Dan. Don't believe right. What is what is one piece of advice you wish you could give your younger self?

listen more good I love that I would say that to myself too that's a good one okay wow except one time one guy and this was kind of towards the end I lost a lot of respect but

I was trying to listen and he turned around and said to me now's your chance to listen I said excuse me wow how there that was it's okay he's in her rearview mirror yeah okay no i get that i i love that piece of advice man actually all right go ahead what's your favorite way to unwind after a long day um you know i i don't drink anymore so there's no happy hour but i'm in this this place where the beaches are fantastic the sunsets are incredible and it's all rub it in dan rub it we're coming

Oh, I'm just telling you're my reality here. It's sounding really good. Wait, Susan, Susan, how fast can get on a plane? He's sounding really good to be, Kathy. We can be there in no time. He's leaving there. He's going to California. That's why I said we've got to hop a plane fast before he's gone.

Yeah, well, yeah. So what, a walk on the beach? You take a walk and watch the sunset. I do walk on my beach a lot, and it's, you know, it's good exercise, you know. It's great to be out in the sunshine. It's, you know, a little bit spiritual. There's lots of nature. it's a great way to unwind.

Do you live on the beach? Yeah, he said it was 50 feet from it. Oh, wow. What is your favorite memory that you have when you were a teenager? Does something just stand out one thing? Wow. You know, I've had so many recent thoughts about things that my dad and I have done, and we spent a lot of time outdoors together.

One of his passions was fishing, and I'm thinking of he and I used to do these flying fishing trips into Canada. Fly fishing, yeah. And where in Canada? Northern Ontario. Where? Well, we'd fly out of Red Lake. Yeah.

And up to like Goose Lake and up, yeah. My daughter, my daughter, my sister lives in Ontario. Oh, you're kidding me. Where? Well, she lived in Toronto. Now she lives in Ottawa. But I've been pretty much all through Ottawa. I know where you're talking.

Yeah, I mean, through Ontario. Very remote. Yeah, it's beautiful up there. Those were a couple of great trips with my dad. I'm thinking about and fishing with him and just. You do more. Fishing is not all about catching fish. Isn't it funny?

I was just going to say to you. Isn't it funny when we lose someone special, we spent, at least I do, I shouldn't put words in your mouth. But I spend a lot of time when my husband died, he spent a lot of time. And I still do. Rethinking, reliving those memories because that's how you preserve them in your heart. You know, that's, that's, so I'm glad you get to do that. It's true. It's true.

Yes. It's important. Okay. What would the title of your autobiography be? I like that question. I don't know. Give me a second. Keep it clean, Dan.

He tried the best he could. That's a good one. I like that title. He tried the best he could. I like it. I like it. I like it. All right.

If you could bring back any fashion trend or old slang, what would it be? Old slang, yeah. The guys are so many great ones from our genre. My kids hollering. I'm sorry? Fashion trends, you know, they're already making a comeback, but not a love to those bell bottoms are back in, yeah.

Yeah, but they're doing it without any of our input. How about the slang banging? My kid, I still say it. Oh, my gosh. Have you heard that? And my kids are like, mom, that's so. Boston. I never, Susan, I've never heard that

until she told me. Where did you grow up, Susan? Outside of Philadelphia. Okay. Well, yeah, I grew up in Iowa and we said bang in there. Everybody said banging. Come on, Kathy. Yeah, Kathy. I tried. I do the best I can dare. Sorry.

Is there anything you've always wanted to do but haven't done it yet? That was my question for him. Okay, I'm sorry. I jumped the gun. Oh, no. It's, that's, you know, these are great ones so man i have done so much i've been fortunate to do so many things and travel extensively and all that um it would probably be and i've had no lack of adventure either i mean i've done it all i love crazy exciting things um and so um i don't know i think it would be going somewhere

i wanted to and i want to live there for a little while like portugal or spain and i've been to Europe. I think we're a good match. Do you speak another language, Dan? I speak a little bit of Spanish just from being around it and I speak a little bit of German. Much de Nero. My daughter speaks fluent. I'm not kidding. My daughter speaks fluent Spanish. My son speaks fluent German. And I speak enough Spanish to get by. Yeah. Yeah. Good for you. Yeah. I wanted my kids to, it was the goal of mine. I wanted my kids to be bilingual. And two of my kids are, I mean, truly, biolingual. I mean, truly bilingual and and then my third child who I adore um the mother of my oldest granddaughter he's really good most of the time with English that's hard enough isn't it so wait I have a question

if you if you found like if you found the person that you want to be with what what would your life look like what what would what would you want to do with that person that you're not doing now Okay, based on what you've just instructed me, I should listen and love them completely. I mean, you know what else? Dan, you need my number. I was just going to say, a malleable guy who listens and takes direction well, check for you, Dan. Check, check, check. You're a great guy.

See, I do listen. Absolutely. Would you travel, though? Like, do you like to cook? Would you cook together? What I'm getting that is the thing. We can all do those things by ourselves. but what things would you like to do with someone else?

Sure. And at this stage of life, you know, everybody says travel. And I've been fortunate to travel a lot with my business and personally and all that. But there's, I mean, the world's a big place. I haven't been to a lot of places. So travel is always fun. It's a great way to get to know your partner. Yeah, I agree.

It just is because you're going to have challenges. You're going to have highs and lows. Yeah, you're right. You're going to be lugging around the. those heavy suitcases for the woman who can't pack a duffel and go for three weeks. Wait, one more question.

Where do you want to go? Since you've traveled on, where's the first place you're? Well, I haven't been to Portugal. I've been to Spain, but I want to those parts of Spain. It's on my list. I want to go to Portugal. I've been to Spain twice, but only a little bit. And my next trip I wanted to do south of Spain and end up in

Portugal. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. We're all on the same page. I know. Let's go. Let's play. And a trip, the three of us, Menager eto. Susan, that is another soundbite that's not going to play well. Will you think about what? Poor Dan, I'm really sorry. They're going to have you married to both of us.

What is the worst piece of advice you've ever been given? That's the last question, I promise. Oh, my gosh. Oh, no, I've got another one for him. I don't know. Well, it would have to be with an investment of some kind. I didn't be a very much of a lot. Okay, fair enough.

Fair enough. Okay, Kathy. I'm lost now. Okay. What, you know, I'm just going to tell you straight up. We've had a couple of episodes and we've talked about New Year's goals and resolutions. I'm not a big January 1. I mean, we're well into this, you know, February now, but I'm not a big goal person in that one moment, January 1, 2025. because I try to make myself a better person every day of the year. Having said that, what are your goals for 2025, not like a resolution? Just what do you, how do you see your 2025? How do you see it shaping up? That's a great question. I'm a lot like you, is that I don't, I don't. You lose, Susan.

I try to live in the moment. And it's hard to do. I mean, you have to make plans. And obviously, if you live life, those plans are going to get thrown out the window, case of point my last couple of months and my next couple of months too i'm going to be going back to kansas city a little bit here and there and so um those kind of things but but overall self-improvement um is a goal um i want to relocate and that's that's a good but that was my goal for 24 just because it didn't happen yeah it doesn't be still on my plate yeah yeah looking ahead

towards that and um just try to become a better person more evolved and healthier and um You know, I feel like I need to be a little more settled until I find my person, too, because right now, you know, if I were to meet someone in Florida or California or in between, it's where are you going to be. And so I know where I want to be and it's family related to my, my daughter. Oh, so wait. But you still have one in Florida. What's that? You still have a daughter in Florida. Yes, I do.

So you're leaving one to be with another. Yes. And I've been fortunate to be close to her and my grandmother. What about half and half? well you know that'd be nice yeah I would leave the summers in Florida and go to California yeah yeah you don't want to relocate you would not relocate if you found the right person like chalk you know he's they're they're probably going to end up on the East Coast somewhere yeah yeah you're not a guy that's willing to relocate you're going

to move from California you're going to find a girl in California and let's put it this way I need to be settled so I can have that flexibility, I guess. I want to be near, I want to be a part of their family as it begins. I mean, there's the two of them and, you know, they're going to have grandkids. You're talking about your, you're talking about your child in California. Yes. And so I want to be there for those things. It doesn't mean I can't spend half the year somewhere else or more.

You like that. Travel and do all those things. Just where that's going to be home base. I like, because I do want to be integrated with them. It's too far. It's too far. And who's to say the person you meet wouldn't want to join you in both places. I mean, that's definitely doable.

Well, you. Go ahead. No, you go ahead. Keep it an open mind through all this at our age because everybody has the same circumstances. I mean, they just do. I have to say, we've interviewed a lot of the guys from Jones' season, and each one of you, we didn't know you.

You know, people think that everybody knows everybody on Bachelor Nation, but you are as interesting and as kind and fun as as you know we had heard you were and we're just so happy um that you could join us isn't it better knowing them from this i got to know each and every one of them better than i did from watching you know you can always see so much well this is the real dan yes this is the real dan so we like the real dan it truly is a pleasure um getting a chat with you again so sorry about your dad you know life hope 2025 brings you well well of course we'll see you again soon but just you know I'm really hoping that these next few months go a little easier for you thank you yes thank you very much you guys are awesome to have me it's I get to know you better too
