And I'm Serena. And we are here with the one and only first ever making history golden bachelorette. Joan, welcome to Bachelor Happy Hour. Thank you for having me. I'm so excited to be here. We're excited to have you. We're going to get into everything. We have a lot to discuss in not that long of time. So before we get into everything, how have you been enjoying your time leading up to the premiere?
Starting point is 00:02:06 Oh, gosh, like, it's kind of surreal, to be perfectly honest. I was actually watching TV this morning, and I heard my voice, and it was me on a commercial. So, like, every day is kind of a new day. Someone sent a picture of me on the side of a bus. So it's just, like, as it's unfolding, you know, slowly as we get closer to the premiere, it gets more and more exciting every day. Have you thought about the fact that you are? are the first ever golden bachelorette.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Yeah, I don't think I've ever been the OG at anything in my entire life. So, like I finally get to be an OG and it's, like I said, it's surreal. I keep pinching myself. It could have been so many more people. I don't know how I got so lucky to land this, but I did and I'm so grateful. Do you think it's more or less pressure because you're the first one? Oh, gosh, that's a good question. So I think most of the pressure kind of landed on Gary because he was really the first.
Starting point is 00:03:00 first one, like he was the first golden of anything. So I feel a little less pressure because he was kind of the trailblazer and I'm just somewhat following his lead. But I guess I guess the first golden bachelorette, but I don't think I feel as much pressure as he certainly did. Did you have any, uh, did you have a chance to reach out to him just to ask him for any of his advice? I did. You know, I spent like two hours on the phone with him. We talked through. Really? lots of different scenarios, and he gave me really good advice. You know, he, like I said, he was kind of a trailblazer, and I think he did it really, really well.
Starting point is 00:03:39 He made all of us women on the show feel very comfortable to be kind of open and vulnerable, which is kind of scary at this age. And, you know, you expose your family, you expose, you know, you have a lot to lose at this age. So I think he did it really, really well, and he made us feel really comfortable. So I, you know, I relied on him a lot for advice. And I still talk to him all the time now. What was the best piece of advice or the one that stuck out the most that he gave you? He said it's a really, really quick journey and to don't leave anything on the table
Starting point is 00:04:14 and make sure that you encourage the contestants to be the same way, that you only have one chance sometimes to reveal something about yourself that's important. And don't squander that opportunity. make sure you come clean and you talk about everything that's important that makes you know kind of you who you are or brought you to this you know to this place um so i did that like first night i said to the man you know this is quick so make sure you know we get to know each other as best we can in this short amount of time um as for our listeners who may not know and i'm assuming most of them do but can you just kind of give us a refresher into why you went home
Starting point is 00:04:53 on Gary's season? So right after our one and only one-on-one date the next morning, I got a text for my daughter who had just had a baby and she was having a really hard time. She had had a hard pregnancy, a hard delivery. She almost died during the delivery. I mean, certainly like a lot of emotional things were happening to her and she just needed me to come home and be a mom and help her. She was dealing with a lot. She even had some postpartum depression and she had not a super easy baby she's a doll right now but you know she was she was an infant she was i left when the baby was eight days old and you know i dealt with that guilt to be honest i knew that i shouldn't be leaving her or that this wasn't a perfect time to be leaving but it was the only opportunity i had and i selfishly left
Starting point is 00:05:41 with the thought that if i need to come home i will and when she said she needs me i left one of the things emotionally that I'm the most terrified of when it comes to becoming a mother is mom guilt. I feel like it's something that every mom talks about of like you have a child and you literally have mom guilt for the rest of your life. It's true. You will have mom guilt. We drink wine. We do what we have to do to self-medicate, but you, it will be fine. You do have mom guilt because you love that child so much and you love that person more than you love yourself or anything that you think you could possibly love so you are you can't you'll never be perfect and so you have mom guilt forever how's your daughter now and the baby everyone good they are great the baby is a year old
Starting point is 00:06:26 she is a doll the parents are perfect it was such a short amount of time that she needed me but it was such an important time and you know it was what it was but literally two months later she was her old self again you had to you had to do what you had to do for your family I respect it. What are their thoughts on all of this? So kind of mixed. I mean, they all want me to find love. They all certainly want me to have a happy life.
Starting point is 00:06:54 But it's a little scary that they're worried about me kissing on TV. Oh, are they? Oh, yeah, very worried about that. The boys are like, please, you're not. Because anybody. So I lied and said, I wouldn't. And then very worried about fantasy suits. They're like, they're like, don't even say the word.
Starting point is 00:07:10 It just sounds gross. Oh, my gosh. That's a nightmare as a child. I'm terrified. Okay. When you got back from Gary's season and you had that deal with all your family stuff, but then you were single. Did you start dating again? My dating history wasn't super successful prior to that, which is why I even filled out the application to come on the show.
Starting point is 00:07:39 I had done a little bit of, you know, I did one dating app. You know, I kept, I had this vision that I was going to meet somebody organically. I was just going to be out one day at the grocery store, at a wedding, someplace we'd meet somebody organically. And it seems that there are not a lot of people like in our situation. So there's not a lot of 60 year olds that are single because like we live in a world of people that are couples. Like, you know, this world is full of couples. And even if I saw somebody that I thought was my age and that was attractive or whatever, I would just assume that they were married and I would never like, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:14 try to meet them or whatever. So I find it very hard to date at this age. So I came off the show. I was a little healed by that the small little section of that journey that I got to be part of. And I realized that I really did want somebody in my life, but I still didn't really know how to do it, like how to meet somebody. So, you know, although I had this hope and this want, I didn't really know how to do it. So I didn't do it very much. I didn't make an effort. And then, um, actually, I got presented with this opportunity. So I, you know, I just jumped at it because, you know, I didn't know how I also find somebody. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Well, also, Joan, you're like insanely beautiful. So I feel like finding guys in your league is probably, I mean, look, personality is everything too. But just like, you're such a special person. You deserve someone so special. And like seeing the cast of men has made us so excited for your journey because you're amazing. They seem amazing. and we're just excited to see how everything unfolds. Yeah, Joan, I got a question.
Starting point is 00:09:17 You say dating's hard, and I do agree, but you were never getting hit on when you go out, when you go to the grocery store. Never? You're not getting hit on. Well, you know, occasionally, sure. But oddly, I was hit on a lot more by people DMing me after being on The Bachelor.
Starting point is 00:09:39 And I don't know how to navigate. I know that that's like a big thing. people sliding into your dams. I know that that is a really common way that people meet each other, but like you younger guys, I don't know how to work that. How do you,
Starting point is 00:09:52 how do you vet them? It's a totally strange to DMing you. And most of them don't live anywhere even close to you. They're like in other states. And I don't get how all that works. Maybe you can educate me. But, you know, occasionally people certainly at restaurants
Starting point is 00:10:08 or whatever, I would see them out. But really not very often. Like I said, assumed I was married just like I assume people anybody my age is married I just an assumption probably the opposite than like younger people I think about like when my youngest son goes out he probably assumes everybody that's at the bar with them is single I'm the opposite I think everybody out was was married that's very true I never thought about that I also think with it's so interesting that you said like how do you vet these people because
Starting point is 00:10:36 it's so true it's like this could be a total creep or like a really weird guy like you want to put yourself out there, but you also want to protect yourself. And I do think that's why we see so many people date within the franchise a lot, because it is this group of like pre-vetted people. I totally agree with you. I love all. It works so well. Like, there are so many success stories that come after people have left shows. They find other people on passionation. You're so right. You're so right. Like, that's the reason. They've been vetted. Yeah. I never envisioned being with a woman. I'll just be honest. I'm Jamel Hill. host of the Sports and Politics podcast, Spolitics.
Starting point is 00:11:15 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.
Starting point is 00:11:41 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 Yumanzoor. 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.
Starting point is 00:12:16 But if you have unmedicated ADHD... Oh my God, perfect. And want to hear people with mental illness, psychobabble. Yes, yes. Then Emergency Intercom is the podcast for you. Open your free IHeartRadio app. Search Emergency Intercom and listen now. My name is Ed.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Everyone say hello, Ed. Hello, Ed. I'm from a very rural background myself. My dad is a farmer. And my mom is a cousin. What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago.
Starting point is 00:12:51 I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear. The 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage. Available now.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What were you telling when they were casting for the guys? I'm assuming they asked what your type was, what you were looking for. What did you tell them? I didn't like really know I had a type, you know, because I've been married for 32 years. I wasn't thinking about my type. I already had them.
Starting point is 00:13:56 But I do feel like I do have a type now that I've been through this whole journey. And I kind of like guys that are like regarious, like that feel comfortable in their own skin, have self-confidence, can walk into a room and kind of talk to anybody. And I also am really particular about, kind of like my father, my father taught me this, that, you know, men should be gentlemen. And I like a gentleman. I like somebody who, you know, opens doors and stands up and treats like the waitress at the restaurant really well.
Starting point is 00:14:25 And, you know, so a gentleman was important to me. So I kind of like an outfilling guy that's a gentleman, and I just want somebody who's kind. Yeah. When you were asked to be the Bachelorette, what was going on in your mind? Were you shocked? It was. You know, so there was a little bit of flurry around like, you know, there's going to be a golden bachelorette. And I certainly knew that I wasn't the only one being looked at that other women from my season, clearly. And I kind of had an idea of who it might be. So that was like kind of played on my little heavy on my mind because I really didn't want this. And so I was like not really thinking that I was going to get it, to be honest. I thought it could go to anybody.
Starting point is 00:15:11 And maybe there were people that, you know, people would consider more deserving from my season since I had left so early. So when I was on the Golden Bachelor, I left so early that, you know, people that made it farther in the journey would have been maybe a better contender or more deserving of it. So when I got the message, and so Jesse Palmer did a Zoom with me, and he's the one that told me. And I was, like, thrilled, but honestly, I was pretty surprised to be, to be totally honest. You might be the lead with the least experience on the show as a contestant ever. Matt James. Oh, Matt James. You're right. You're right. But how did, yeah, he was on the show at all before he became the lead.
Starting point is 00:15:55 But how did that kind of play into when you were filming, like getting to a point of being like, I haven't actually been here before? Yeah. And that happened pretty early in the journey to tell you the truth. I learned a ton and you might not need much more than that to get how all this works. And the thing that I learned most was when I originally got to the house, or even like when I was considering even going on the Golden Bachelor, I was really apprehensive because was this was the first time that it had ever been done for the golden. And I was worried about how
Starting point is 00:16:32 we were going to look on TV? Like, were we going to look like foolish old people dating? And was it going to look, was it going to look like tacky? And I also had like a little bit of the guilt. Like, do I deserve? Like, do we deserve to find love this late in life? Did we already have our chance? We had it. And, you know, were we being selfish coming on the show and like leaving our families behind who are really, like, really rely on us now. And so I had all this, like, apprehension going into, you know, going into the Bachelor series. That was all solved almost right away.
Starting point is 00:17:07 I got there and I got to meet the producers and I got to meet the Bachelor Nation, kind of. And I saw that they really had our best interest in mind and that they really wanted us to find love and that they wanted to make this journey look really fun and depict us as, like, what a really 16, 70-year-old looking for love looks like and that it's not embarrassing and it's not degrading and you shouldn't feel guilty about it. And they did all that. I learned all that in a really fast amount of time. So everything else that I learned, you know, after Golden Bachelor and after like kind of the first set of group dates and the first rose ceremonies where now this was like new territory for me, I felt comfortable with because I knew that their hearts were pure
Starting point is 00:17:48 when they were you know making this this job you you said you don't know if people will think you deserve to find love at that age do you think that's a common thought that most people around your age have um so my thought is that and i thought this for a long time that as you get older you're you're supposed to be supporting the next generations like the kids my like my kids age, the 30, the 30, 20 and 30 years old, that they, that now you should be in like a support role. So you should now take a backseat and, you know, be a grandmother, maybe help them financially, that the focus is no longer on you. It's on them. And that when you do something for yourself, I felt kind of guilty. And I know that I wasn't the only person because we had that
Starting point is 00:18:39 conversation in the mansion when I was in the Golden Boucher with the other women that we all shared that thought, we felt like we were selfish being there, that we had left people behind that needed us. And at this age, you have multi-generational responsibilities. I have a mother who's still alive. She's 92. I have a mother-in-law. I have kids and I have grandkids. And you're a lot of people that rely on you. So I do kind of feel like I felt guilt and that people my age do feel guilty when they do something for themselves because we feel like we're supposed to be in the support role now. So then what did it feel like going and filming the gold Bachelor where it's just like it's your journey it's your story everything is about you yeah that's a
Starting point is 00:19:22 really good question because i did like kind of have to get over that guilt and i did that and you know i give so much back to the golden bachelor um that experience because i learned so much that made my golden bachelor experience like so successful and i learned from the other women when they were talking about you know somebody's son had just had an appendectomy and she left him in the hospital and you know, people were dealing with all kinds of things at home. And as we were talking about this, I was saying to each one of them, oh my God, you deserve to be here. They'll be fine at home. Yet I wasn't embracing that thought for myself. So it did take me a little time to like give myself the free pass that I'm just like them. I deserve to be here also. My kids will be fine. If they're not,
Starting point is 00:20:04 I'll leave. I felt that about the Golden Bachelor when I was on that. And so by the time I made it to Golden and Bachelorette. I think my kids and I had all kind of come to terms with the way that this works and we were all a lot more comfortable with it. And like at that point, I did feel like I deserved it. I talked myself into that concept and I was really embracing it. Did you have any expectations going into it? I knew what I wanted in the end. One person at the end that we were going to go out into the real world and see if we can make it work. How did it feel? How did it feel? feel having your friends within the franchise kind of rally around and support you? Because I'm sure you made some great friendships on Golden Bachelor.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Yeah, I mean, we were all such good friends still. We have a group chat that if you don't look at your phone five times a day, you become like 30 messages behind. So we are really support each other. You know, like I said, when we moved into the mansion, I felt like I found my tribe here. They're finally, these are the people that understand what it's. like to be in your 60s and 70s and single and being the ninth person at the table at the wedding and, you know, watching all your friend couples go on vacations together and you'd be left
Starting point is 00:21:21 behind. You know, it's all these things that people don't realize, you know, are, you know, are sad for you. Make you sad and, you know, make being single even harder. Or you go out to dinner with all your friends who have husbands at home and you go home to the empty house. So I was with all these women who understood that. And so we became very close because we're a great support group for each other. So their support meant everything to me because I was kind of, you know, represent all of us to the world. This is what it's like to be this age and dating and it's not comfortable. It's hard. What you wanted in a partner going into Gary's season, did that change at all going into your season?
Starting point is 00:22:05 Hmm. Maybe a little bit. I've made it very clear that I'm not going to leave my family and that they are the most important thing to me. And I think I knew then that I wanted a man that felt the same way about his family. And like that would be, that's kind of a deal breaker.
Starting point is 00:22:23 You're not as close to your family and value, you know, their need for you and you're wanting to be with them as I do with my family, then you're probably not. out a good match with you know for me so coming out and figuring out how to live in the real world with that expectation is harder yeah was there any like worry there of like it's a there's goods and bad that right of like finding someone that is so close to their family just like you are but then if you're not from the same place then there's that like where are you going to live
Starting point is 00:22:53 question was that something you thought about going into this because part of the show is dating people across the country. Yeah. So that absolutely like was something that I thought about. And, you know, I kind of felt like felt about it. I thought I kind of figured out in my mind how it would work for me. And I just needed to find somebody that had the same thoughts that, you know, you can't have your take and you to.
Starting point is 00:23:17 You can't have your family and, you know, possibly they have their family and then also be together all the time and that you're going to have to make a sacrifice on something. But I think it can work. You just have to maybe work harder at that part of the relationship. Makes sense. I never envisioned being with a woman. I'll just be honest.
Starting point is 00:23:39 I'm Jamel Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, 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.

Starting point is 00:24:06 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.

Starting point is 00:25:01 Ed. Everyone say, hello, Ed? Hello, Ed. From a very rural background myself, my dad is a farmer, and my mom is a cousin, so, like, it's not like... What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was
Starting point is 00:25:17 my reality nine years ago. I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian. with a story that no one expected to hear. The 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house.
Starting point is 00:25:41 So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage. Available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. With your premiere airing later tonight, can you tell us how you are feeling going into Night 1? So you mean night one, like when the limos arrived? Limos are coming up and you're standing out there.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Yeah. So I will remember probably that moment for the rest of my life because it's like one of those iconic moments that starts every season. And I remember so many other bachelor and bachelorettes standing there and looking nervous and watching that first limo pull up. And it is like so exciting and so terrifying at the same time because you thought like this is this moment could possibly change my life. And I was so excited. And I was so excited. And I, um, I felt like the weight of all this suddenly like right in that moment everything was fun in games until then and i was like if this is it i could hardly breathe honestly can you tell us about your dress who are you wearing i was wearing randy rome and she's a popular designer on the show and i think i was wearing the most beautiful dress i've ever put on in my life i felt so happy in it i felt like like it was made for me and um yeah you'll you'll see it soon do you think if you didn't like you if you didn't feel comfortable in your dress do you think that would have messed you up night one sorry I'm only laughing because we are now off script people because if Joe doesn't like
Starting point is 00:27:36 what he's wearing it like impacts everything like the whole night is ruined like we usually go home early like I'm just saying if it's a really big deal if I was the lead and that's why he's asking this question is he's putting himself in your shoes. I'm just saying, if I was the lead and whatever, the suit I wore night one, I felt uncomfortable and I didn't like it. It would really be something that was on my mind. Honestly, I feel like not in general, but in that moment, if I didn't like the dress, I probably wouldn't have felt as happy as I was.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Yeah, you have to feel confident and beautiful in what you're wearing. Yeah, you do really. I mean, confidence is really important that moment because, like, I felt like it was my responsibility to make the men feel comfortable because I remember being in that limousine and, like, stepping out. And I was freaking terrified. I was like, I don't know if I, why did I do this to my life? Why did I say yes to this? I could hardly breathe.
Starting point is 00:28:33 So I really needed to feel confident and, like, exude, like, calmness to them. So my dress was important, Joe. You're right. I know, I know. Did you go into, did you go into filming with any, like, non-negotiable? is like if a guy says this or does this, it's not going to work out. Not really. Like I do have red flags, but you certainly don't see that.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Like, first night it's all about like, like, kind of everybody needs to get a free pass in the first night because everybody's really nervous. Yeah. So certainly not the first night. I mean, there were things that stood out and why I didn't get people roses in the long run. But, you know, no, like, I didn't have something in my mind that said, this is a no, no go for me. Because, you know, people have already been vetted. So, like, really glaring bad things about people, they're not on the show.
Starting point is 00:29:31 So everybody that you're encountering at this point are really good guys. Any unexpected challenges that, I mean, you could tease.
