Wait, do you know the best one I have? What? I swear to God, I have a 32-year-old guy who said he liked older women.

I said, I got kids older than you are. 32. Isn't that called a gilf? That's called a gilf. What would that stand for? Instead of a mother, it's a grandmother. Excuse me, I'm not a grandmother. Yes, you are.

You babysitter every day. I talk to you every day. Kathy, you're a grandmother. Which out of I'm going to talk about your damn meatballs. Don't even go there. Do you want to talk to them about the gift I brought you? What? What?

What? What gift? The socks I brought you. The farting socks that Nancy and I both got. They say, so we know cat, wait, which one of you was the farter? It was Susan. No. Actually, excuse me.

Can we just talk... Wait, I want to talk about that bedroom over there where we all slept the four of us. This one's farting. One of them snoring. Am I right? Oh, you were just peaked cheeked. I lay there very quietly.

She was so ladylike. I want one more than I got one to say, Kathy, do you know you snore. I do not. I do not. I do not snore. No, but really, it's great to be back here. It is. It's so much fun.

And we love each other, and we loved our experience on the Golden Bachelor. Absolutely. We're not done yet. We're not done. I like this whole thing. I think I'm having fun. I'm feeling like this is a great time for me to interject here and just say that we do have Susan and Kathy from the Golden Bachelor.

And I'm really seeing that paradise is a must for Golden Bachelor. They have no bikinis. No bikinis. And there's bugs and there's mosquitoes. And there's mosquitoes. taranticle let's do what if we did it where would be your ideal Italy with Teresa and Gary yeah we're going Italy yeah are they going to get married in Italy no oh no no no no no no

Every day. Every day on the phone or text? No, that. We play FaceTime. Are you kidding? Are you kidding me? I've seen every part of this woman's body. She literally calls me when she's getting dressed with nothing on.

No, I like it when she calls it. I'm cooking her and Nancy. The three of us are on the phone. And they're like, what are you doing? I'm making land chops, right? Yeah. What else? And then she goes, who's coming for dinner? I said nobody.

And then she goes, what are you doing? And I'm pushing a button on the microwave. What attracted you to each other so instantly? She slept next to me in the next bed. I mean, that's how the best friendship began. In our room, yeah. Honestly, honestly, I don't know how you and I, sometimes we finish each other's sentences. We think the same thing.

But I don't really know how. I holler at her sometimes. times, though. I do. She does. But you do my hair. Well, that was cute. We saw that.

She does. She does my hair. Yeah. And sticks in a lot of bobby pins. Gives me a headache. But, you know, she, I don't know. But I'm originally from Boston. We're like sisters from different mothers.

How do you know we have different mothers? We have fun together. We do. And I love you. Oh, you guys. So after this whole experience, I didn't get the man. Yeah. She didn't get the man.

You know what? Wait. But we had some good, good. friendships come out of this. Yeah. Didn't we? We did, but. Come on.

Are we made it somebody right now? Who we made it? Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is what we're getting into because we love it. I'm going to ask Susan to talk about it. I'm going to ask Susan to talk shit for a second. All right.

So we know that Kathy and Teresa's drama was really the only drama we had all season amongst the women. So now that it's been announced that Teresa is the winner, Susan, how does your best friend feel about this? She's just squeezing her arm. Actually, no. She just squeezed her arm in a moment where it was like, bitch, don't you say it? Wait, if I don't get elbow one more time, you know, I'm going to be bruised.

No, honestly, should I tell them about the draft? You should tell us about everything. Oh, me, no. All right, let her tell you. This is good. This is good. So, I, Susan loves to shop. I love to walk, hike, run.

Really, I'm a sports girl. Like, I won the pickleball tournament. I'm going to get to the point. This girl loves to shop. And cook. So I was so proud of myself. I went shopping for a dress for tonight. You're not going to believe this.

You look great. No, this is not the dress. No, she sent me, sent me the pictures, everything. I can prove this is true. Okay. The dress was the dress, Teresa had it on tonight. Can you imagine? Can you imagine?

Can you imagine? Can you imagine? If I had shut up in that dress, she's doctor. I'm not kidding. I'm like, so who told you? No one told you. Nobody. I decided not to wear because I thought, you know, she's going to probably get engaged.

It's like white. No, you didn't think of her. Give me a break. You like the other one better. Tell the truth. Okay. You liked it. There was nothing to do with Teresa.

We had no idea. I had no idea. Coincidentally, you didn't wear the dress. I searched about, but she walks out and went, oh my God, she's got on my dress. And I thought, can you imagine Batsornation? They would have said, not only did she tell her to zip it. She goes out and buys her dress. My name is Ed.

Everyone say, 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 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.

Well, 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?

But then how juicy would it have been if they had you both wear the dress? Priceless. Wait, would it be slain. We would slay now. We would slay now. It would be slay now. Yeah, exactly. Would that be a sleigh moment?

Are you guys auditioning right? now for your own show. Oh, yes. Without a doubt. I had Jackie in the corner tonight. Yes, we did speak to Jackie about that. Miss Pittman. But no, wait, let's be honest.

What did I, I'm going to tell you? Answer the question about Teresa. Yes, yes. Answer the question. Get back on. Oh, I'm not going to try. What does your best friend think about Teresa winning? But I'm able to come back.

She was very, very happy for her. So a lot of that was a lot. Can I say? But also, Kathy, I will say, I will say, I will. would have been exactly in your position. I would have been like, is this woman just a little spacey, or is she being a little bit mean?

I mean, she was just tell us she. She just talked too much about the private parts of their date. Yeah. And she studied the show. She said she watched every show instead of them. Some people have gotten in trouble in past seasons for having taken notes and studying the show too hard. She knew every part of every

day. She told me what I was going to do when I woke up in the morning. I think that's ridiculous. We should We can't vilize people who just know the show. I was a huge fan of the show. We know the show. It's great. And it's like so exciting that it's happening to us. So that's like, I'm totally fine with her doing that.

And then that's so cute that she knew each step of the way. And you meet Faith who's never saw an episode. I'm like, what are you doing here? So honestly, though, it was, come on. No. I wish them. They talked since the show. We talked.

There's a lot of love there. There is a lot of. And can I say? She'll be at the wedding. I almost cried.
