Kathy, did you like to introduce him? This is Blake Moynes, who I have to admit, I have never met before today, but I'd like to know why I can't find a guy who looks like you and is my age.

because they don't look like that at our age anymore. Okay, well, we got to work on that. Thank you so much for joining us today. Thank you for having me and thank you for the compliments. I was not expecting that right off the hop. I love it. Well, we're good. We're good at it.

You know, we're seasoned. Right, right. And you can give them back too. Yeah. Listen, either give the compliments back or give us your dad or grandfather's phone number. We're easy. Either or. No, I don't think you want to go there.

My dad's not quite like me. Oh, okay, okay. Well, we want you to tell us about your work and, you know, what you do as a wildlife conservationist, how you got into this. I mean, it's really interesting. I mean, really rhinos? Rhinos? Yeah. I mean, I took my granddaughter looking for turtles, but I don't think that's where we're going.

So tell us, what, tell us. But, you know, what's interesting is that's where it started for me. That's where it started. The interest in just being at lakes up in Canada, at my cabin up north. And then that just kind of spiraled into. Where in Canada? Where? It's, so I live just outside of Toronto. Wait, my sister does.

Where do you live? Burlington Hamilton. I know it. Yeah, right there. Okay. So there's rhinos there, but there's turtles there. And that's where I started. So, like, I, you know, I grew up loving all the little amphibians or reptiles and those things up here in Canada.

and then I've always had a passion for wildlife and was so intrigued by animals like rhinos and things through all the documentaries. And yeah, I mean, over the progression of years, it just kind of spiraled out of control and I continued just to follow that. And then now I'm doing what I'm doing now, which is such a long story as to how I got here.

But I'm right in the thick of it. I literally leave to South Africa and Kenya to go to work. So I have a billion questions, of course, but what do you say that Kathy and I join you on one of these little adventures. It would be a lot of fun. I really would. Have you ever done anything like it before?

Have you ever been on as a bar? I mean, I've searched for turtles, you know. In the pond in Austin, Texas, I've looked for a turtle. But I don't know. I do definitely want to know what you do have coming up. But there's a quick question I have to ask. What happened in Africa? You were in the hospital.

What happened? So I joined an anti-poaching, Ranger program to be come certified as a wildlife ranger out in South Africa. Okay. And about three weeks into that, you have to sleep in your boots, basically. Like, you have to be ready to go at all times for poachers. So sleeping in your boots, living in South Africa, the moisture, the environment, you're dirty, all of that. Don't take us there, me.

Yeah, blister set in essentially, and I didn't take care of them. I didn't want the sergeants to know that I had an issue because I didn't want to have to leave the course because of my issue. So I let fester and fester it. And then sepsis, cellulitis set in. And then I had to get surgery out there. It was, it was a complete time. You were scared, no? I mean, yes.

Come on, tell the truth. I would have been shit myself. I mean, the way that they did the surgery out, just like dicing me open and cutting it out with no, it was awful. I don't wish it was. Susan, he's a man. Nothing bothers him. Oh, God.

Plus he hangs with rhinos. Of course he was okay. Really? I have a question, Blake, seriously. How big is poaching? How big an issue? shoe is that? Massive. I mean, it's heavier for some species than others, but it happens globally, but you have more iconic species that get more of the brunt of it, like rhinos for their horns.

It's so much value. So depending on what they're being poached for, but all animals have some type of value. Wow. In the black market. Here we are talking about, there's so many jokes I could make about, you know, poaching women, poaching rhinos, but let's just stick with a conversation. respectful. So I want to know there's different endangered species every year. Which one are you working on right now? Oh, geez. Well, that's the thing. I think so I've started a company called the SOSA, which essentially helps many different nonprofits that specialize in different animals. For example, I was down in Peru. We're working with jaguars and wildcats. And then I'm going out to South Africa in a weekend, working with global conservation force. We're doing a rhino

procedure it's all about the rangers then i go from there at kenya and it's about elephants with saved the elephants so we really try to there's so many that need help so how do you say no and focus on one so we're really doing our best effort to help as much as possible with where we can is just you know the funding and this and that there's just so much that goes into it that i wish it could be doing more but we're we're doing the best that we can i have a two part question i'm sorry Number one, I totally respect and admire what you do. Is this costly to you or make money? Yeah, yeah.

I mean, the issue is that and why people want to work with animals. They want to work in conservation, but there's no money in it. And so for me, I had to find a way because I never take money from my nonprofit organizations. If I'm going to go out there and work with them, well, I'm doing a disservice or going against whole purpose of me, getting them funding for their projects to work on. Exactly. So I never take from the nonprofits, which means that I have to create expeditions with guests

to have money come in in different ways through expeditions and guests on these impact conservation trips. We could help raise a lot of money for you. There you go, see? Right, but wait, like, didn't you take a trip with fellow Bachelor Nation people? Didn't you do that? Tell me about that.

I've done a few of those now. Essentially, I'm trying to use influencers and their network, so influencing for impact in a sense and trying to utilize them in their platform to get messages across to another large demographic of people and large audience of people. And how does one date doing all this traveling? No, that's the, that's, where's that coming now? Listen, I'm a very, very confident guy, but this is one avenue right now. I'm a little bit lost in trying to navigate because it is extremely difficult and I don't have the answer right now.

Well, maybe you've got to find somebody that likes doing what you're doing. Definitely would help. Definitely would help. There's just very slim pickings. Or maybe. Tell us about it. Wait, yeah, trust me. But maybe Blake right now you're supposed to be focusing on what you're focusing on.

And, you know, the women will come your way when it's time. Yeah. I mean, that's the way I'm looking at it for the most part, for sure. My boyfriend's professional. is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Well, wait a minute, Sam, maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot.

He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them.

I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Jamil Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts Politics. And on the latest episode of Politics, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joins me

for a candid conversation about the state of the Democratic Party. What do Republicans say to you privately that they won't say publicly? Many of them are in fear of their political lives, and that's been part of the challenge. But we continue to say to them, you were elected to defend your constituents, to stand up for your constituents. And there's life after Congress. And you should be willing to actually want to be able to look back on your time in the House of Representatives knowing that you can keep your head held because you did the right thing. Donald Trump is gone in three and a half years.

But their legacy or their failure to stand up to the extremism and the unprecedented assault on America as we know it will be with them forever.

ever gotten close have you ever felt like this is the one with with any of them from the actual show or outside of that i fill in the blank yeah i mean before i went on the show there was a a girl's with three three and a half years um and i at one point did think that that was going to be it um did you break up with her because you went on the show no imagine imagine i was one of those I'm smarter than that. I'm smarter than that. You know what it came out on the tabloids everywhere. 100%.

100%. But no, I mean, I did think I was close at one point. I just felt very settled in that relationship. And things were good. It just didn't feel great. It felt held back in ways. And so it wasn't out of a lack of love. It was just a lack of we weren't getting the most out of each other in life.

That takes a lot of courage. And it was so hard. Hard. Yeah. It was like, but the thing is, the thing that I love about it the most is is now that I see her doing the things that I kind of was resentful,

like she wasn't, now I'm seeing her living and like really becoming her own self and I'm like, you know, as much as it would suck in that moment, like you're doing all the things that and you're living. And so I see that now and it's like, you know, she might have felt like it was the wrong decision that time, but now look at you and look at everything you're doing.

And she needed to, I think, solo grab life a little bit. Maybe she thanks you for that. Right. She'll never tell me that. She'll never tell me that. Wait, so I have a question. I wouldn't either. I wouldn't either.

Wait, I have a question, though. So would you like, is that a problem? Would you like the woman that has her independence and does what she wants to do and you're doing what you want to do? And if that's the case, that's a tough balance. So what's your take now that you've tried it a few different ways? Yeah, I think there's two different scenarios there. I think there's the exact one that you mentioned where someone that has, is very established,

knows what they want, is independent, has a life that they're pursuing and passion about something. Because I, now that I'm in that position, I know how much value I put into someone supporting me and telling me to go live it, go do it. So if I have someone that also has that, I respect it so much that I want to see that growth, like blossom, do it, right? Because I get that. But on the flip side, if somebody is also wants to be a part of some of the stuff I'm doing wants to take on that journey with me to come along like it's you're good i just for sure i mean

there's endless experiences that i have this whole this whole may africa trip at the end of it i know i'll be sitting there being like i wish like i could have it with somebody to do this with somebody and that happens throughout the year on all these projects i'm working on so it's like but i know that time will come it will come it's just like we're missing some great opportunities here to like make memories so that's the one thing that I find on these trips I'm like you know name the one you enjoyed the most paradise or bachelor what one was more fun the experience paradise certainly is more fun for sure why is that because you make out and lay on a beach or no because he likes no air conditioning and fly I can handle all that for sure for sure yeah

I think, I think, well, one, I think that, you know, being the third time doing the experience in general, is super comfortable in it. Been there, done that before where I didn't get overwhelmed and freaked out about the things that everyone else was. So it was fun kind of watching it all. Happened. I remember being there being so. Like, look at you. I've been there. I think the other one is just, you know, it's very stressful competing over one.

Like, it's just, it's a lot more stressful of, like, competing for one person. Did we find it stressful? We weren't stress. It comes with age. Wait, a lot of things come with age. Like, you have no idea. You have no idea what comes with age. Wait, I have a question.

Would you ever do another reality TV show? Yeah. I mean, listen, I think, yes, as long as it fell into the timing of the, I don't want to take away from the things that I'm doing, which is like making me so happy. Not between safaris or, you know. Yeah, like the thing is, you know, which like, how do you decide going to Africa for a month and working with and elephants are, like, going on a reality show per month. It's like, oof, you know. Maybe we'll talk to the Bachelor Nation and we'll have one done there in Africa.

I mean, that would be an experience for sure. I mean, that would make some team beat. Is there any place that you dream of that you'd like to go to that you haven't yet? Yes, I want, I'm all the extremes. So I think like going to like Antarctica or something where. It's like I'm very out of my element and we're going all the way north. I was thinking Canada offers a lot. You can go, you know.

Exactly. Exactly. The northwestern territories. Yeah, yeah. I want to go up there like to none of it, see how the indigenous and the culture is there and really dive into that. Yeah. I think that type is like what, you know, feeds me. That type of experience.

But ultimately, do you want a life partner, a marriage, a children? Do you want a family or? No, no question. You know, I battled that right now because all of my best friends here, back home where I live, they're all engaged, they're all married, all of kids, second kids. I'm the only one. Like, what are you waiting for, man? But the thing is right.

He's living his life. He's living his life. You know, I'm trying to look at the benefit of what I am able to do right now and live, like, think about all the positive you're doing. These are experiences you can't potentially do later. Live in that. Soak them all in. what I say is the best is yet to come with all that.

I know that I'm still going to have kids. That is going to come. And when it does, it's going to be beautiful. Okay. All right. So my question for you that. We can be aunties,

you know. We can be aunties. As far as your dating life now going forward, what's your ideal way of meeting someone now, given everything you've been through? You know, reality TV, everything else you've done. What's your ideal way of meeting someone?

Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. I've closed. For a while I had closed. a door being like, hey, I just need to focus on the things that I'm doing. But I realize that naturally as humans, homo sapiens,

we need connection. We need social. We need to be touched. We know these things. Now, I never get to the touching point because it's just, that's a dangerous. You know, if you're not serious about somebody. You touch the animals. But I keep the door open and I connect. I'll go on dates like, you know, I'm going to go on a date. Have you dated lately?

Come on, spill. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Certainly. And I'm going on a date next week. Oh, good. But so I'm keeping that door open Because wait a minute You're going on a date next week and say You're going to meet the woman of your dreams And say hey I'll check you later

I'm on my way to South Africa How does that work? Well that that's the Listen as long as you're transparent And very communicative about your situation Right like then you're not setting expectations It's I lay it out exactly like I'm of what I'm doing So there's not a I connect

But I don't get much How did you find this this woman that you're having a date with. How did you find her? How did you meet? She's, she's, um, do tell, honey. Take five. Take five. Okay. Ladies out there listening, listen to every word he says. You could meet him too. Yeah. He's, we'll call it a friend of a friend in a different city. Yeah. Okay. Oh, Susan, we know about that. We have to go to Canada. We have to go to Canada. That's my next stop. Well, my sister lives there. I'm on my way. So I do have one question.

Do you have any questions for us? None of this do I care about. What I really want to know is how you're going to plan a dream conservation trip with us, the Golden Ladies. Well, I mean, I think where we need to start is like, do you have, do you have an animal that you've always dreamed of being close to work with? Yes. Yes, I have two geriatric cats. Yes, I have animals. but like a dream animal like i don't know a lion or do you want to work with penguins do you want

to i want ones that don't bite there's lots of don't bite i want ones that'll let me pat them will a giraffe let me pat it uh a wild one likely not what about a bear a nice bear kathy certainly not no no you don't want to ever put in that we are don't ever want you to Alaska, though, to do that. So you could go to Alaska with us. It's cold. Okay. It's cold.

It's beautiful. It's a beautiful. You got to go before the glaciers are gone. What about Europe? Do you go to Italy or France or have you been to any of those? I'm saving that for when I do find my partner. I'm doing all the stuff I love to do now. So when she wants to go do these things.

Oh, that's good. You just touched me right here a little bit. This is good. I went by myself a couple times. Yeah? I'm sitting here thinking, who do we know we can fix them up I know. My daughter's married, damn it. So is mine. None come to mind, huh? So back to my question. Yes. What, if anything, would you ask us about anything, whether it's dating, reality TV? Well, can I use it, can I use you like to my own benefit? Yeah, sure. Absolutely. Like seeing the

situation that I'm in and having a decent understanding of the position that I am in, if you had advice and trying to maneuver through a career, like mine and trying to find somebody what are those pieces of advice and what really do i need to be more cognizant of or aware of or like what is the woman actually looking for if you're the woman dating me right now and you know i've just told you all these things from across the table how are you actually feeling because everyone tells me they'd be okay with it that's bullshit that is straight up bullshit i disagree i disagree i love the fact that you're open and honest when you meet somebody but for me i mean like get this out of your system love and that we could go play little little things on your safaris or your

but you have to live you and get that out of your system before you want to nail down a big relationship because i know that everybody's going to go with what you love and i'm and this is going to be a great surprise that I disagree with Susan. I think, I love you though. I think, Blake, that if you do the things you love and where your passions are, the right people will come into your life. And that's always my advice. Do the things you love that bring your heart joy, that give you, that energize you, and the right people come into your life. Well, that's what he is doing. That's what I'm saying. Can you do that, but not begun how. and look for a serious relationship in Canada at home because you're leaving.

Now, see, I will say there is a nice thing about what I am doing. Okay. In a sense. Say, for three weeks, I come back and I don't have to be. I can work from there. I can go and be with her for three weeks. A couple weeks works, okay. You know, like I'm not, I'm not always abroad.

I always come back. And then offer to take her with you once or twice. If you do that, then, yeah. Yeah, for sure. I understand what the things would need to happen if I were to get in that position. You seem like a guy with a big heart and it's going to happen for you. It's going to happen for you. It's just not your time yet.

Did you start that vision board thing that your place are up there and talk to the universe? You know, the universe I learned does not understand English. It's a vibe that we give. So you have to truly believe it all the way down to your toes. and I think the animals that you are helping will send the right people your way I mean it I really believe that you sound like a really good guy

you know this is what I this is what I bow right it's like all I know all the good that I am doing and can be doing the funding the awareness all the stuff all the positive and when I care about animals as much as I do knowing how much and when you start working with animals closely like that and you see the impact and the positive that you can do

for me to now take massive steps back to make sure I can just find my partner right now I think it's a disservice to to everybody and animals when it's needed and I have this unique ability to do what I'm doing so I think that it's important that I keep doing that absolutely the right person will absolutely mend into and I'm trying to continuously believe in that How do you feel about 70-year-olds, Blake? I'm 60-7 if that helps. It's not that much older, but, you know, I never say never, right? Never say never.

My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Well, wait a minute, Sam, maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging. hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.

Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him?

Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. 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...

The confident ones that don't have an ego and want to see their woman succeed, like, the men always wants to get that. There's like, there's like a, how do you call it? It's like a power dynamic where they need to be the ones provide. No, I think it's so sexy to see a woman like doing her thing and grabbing life. No, it's the whole. So you like strong women. Kathy C, there's men that like strong women. Here we are.

Here we are again, counting. He is 30 what and you're how old. Let's start counting. You didn't make my cut off. Just saying. I hope you find the woman of your dreams. I really do. Just like I hope I find my guy someday.

You are. I know I am. We put it out in the universe. I look at things differently now than I did at your age, if you will. And let me ask you this. After coming off the show, do you look at dating differently or what you want in a person differently than you did? I wouldn't say the show hasn't necessarily made me.

I mean, there's a lot that I worry about and think about during the vetting process for sure. But I don't necessarily think about things different. The core values and what I actually want are still there. As I've matured, they've changed a little bit. Slightly, yes, yes. And they will dramatically when you're 67. So wait, wait a minute. I have a question. All the things you're talking about are really high principle.

you know, really important things that matter when you pick your life partner. But come on, Blake, when you see that woman, is it, is it the chemistry? Is it the look that gets your first? Yeah. What's your first attractive? Come on. It's usually an energy. It's like an energy.

Yeah. Which is chemistry. Yeah. Yes. Yes. But your first look, like say you're online or on a dating app and you know how you you have to swipe the pictures. It's got to be a visual thing first, right?

Yeah, I think it, yes. Like, I think that naturally grabs the eye first, no question. Right. But like, what is, there's the next piece you're looking for. Like, are they, are, what is like, are they with their animals and their dogs? Are they, is it too curated? Is it too, like, how natural and like raw are you? Is it too?

Yeah, I want like a cool, calm, like really down to earth normal. listen Blake we just met you have a ton of energy so and I love that and we love that but that means that if you want a calm woman she might not have the same kind of energy I'm not to say see like this is where I can work more vocabulary so calm is like I need like a calm like like very to themselves no that's not collected collected collected okay well we're going to collect we're collected now we're We want to play game with you. Are you ready? All right. I want to know. Okay. Apple or Android? Is green text a deal breaker? Do you care? No. Glad to hear it. Okay. A date night in or a date night out?
