Janeaustin hey, it's Bobby from the Bobby Bones show. I had an incredible time at this year's iHeartRadio music festival and even got the chance to hang out with Diplo and Bailey Zimmerman while I was there. How did Ashes come together, Diplo? I pulled up real quick. He was about to leave on tour. You're about to jump in your tour bus and we had like three hours.

[Robin]

It was really cool.

[Kathy]

He really just like randomly showed up to my house and like, oh, hey.

[Robin]

Diplo, what are you doing?

[Bobby Bones]

He's like, I have a song that.

[Robin]

I want to show you.

[Kathy]

Compensated for their time. I've seen a lot of tough women in my life, women who fight hard and keep showing up no matter what. And when one of them gets hit with breast cancer, it's brutal. But here's the thing. Even after treatment, breast cancer can come back. That's why I'm telling you about Kiskali. Kiskali ribociclib, 200 milligram tablets are taking with an aromatase inhibitor. It's for adults with HR positive, HER2 negative stage 2 or 3 early breast cancer with a high risk of recurrence, and it can help reduce the risk of cancer coming back. If you or someone you love went through it, talk to them. Share this. It may not seem helpful, but it's a real way to show up for the women you love or maybe yourself. In a clinical study at three years, 91% of people taking Kiskali plus an aromatase inhibitor were cancer free versus 88% taking an aromatase inhibitor alone. Individual results may vary. Kiskali may cause serious skin reactions, liver problems and low white blood cell counts that may result in serious infections. Life threatening lung problems and abnormal heartbeats can occur. Your doctor should test your heart and blood before and during treatment. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening cough, chest pain or dizziness before taking Kiskali. Tell your doctor all your medical conditions, medicines you take and if you're breastfeeding, pregnant or planning to be as it can harm an unborn baby. Common side effects include nausea, headache and tiredness. Visit kiskali.com that's K I S Q A L I to learn more and ask your doctor if Kaskali is right for you.

[Robin]

Well, it's been 10 years, sadly or goodly. And it was the best that would happen because, you know, life gives you lemons and make lemonade, right? That's what you do.

[Susan]

You know, I mean, if you. I live like an hour and a half from San Francisco, so if you did find. How's that wine? Good. Let's all have a drink here. I love that we're having a drink of wine. This is great. It's only one o' clock in California, but I'm sure it's later wherever you lead.

[Podcast Advertiser/Announcer]

Sar.

[Kathy]

You know what? Time is just. Age is just a number, and time is just a number. Robin.

[Robin]

My mantra, girlfriend.

[Susan]

All right, wasn't that.

[Robin]

No, it was no dating. I mean, I would try and then they would be, you know, 100 miles away, and I'm like, okay, that's not gonna work because I live in a very established bedroom community. A lot of people here have second homes, and it's just a lovely community, but it's not a dating community.

[Kathy]

Well, how did you get on the show then? What made you go on the show?

[Robin]

So it's interesting because I have always loved Bachelor Nation, and I watched golden and I was obsessed. Oh, my goodness. Ladies. Ah.

[Susan]

You should have reached out to us.

[Robin]

I loved it. I literally listen. I have it taped every. I come home from work and I'd sit with my. Whatever I was eating, and I would just watch. I could repeat what you said as I watched Bachelorette. Zippy. I loved it. And I thought to myself, you know what? It was October, and I thought, I'm going to do it. I'm going to just. And I, I, I mean, I have my two kids, which is great. I love my children to death. I'm grandson and daughter in law. But I don't have that person. I want that person. I want to tell them what I did at night. I want to tell them what I did. I want to tell them what I didn't do. I want to tell them my exercise routine. I don't have anybody. I have nobody.

[Susan]

Yeah, we didn't either for the longest time.

[Kathy]

Well, excuse me. I still don't. Susan does, but stop bragging.

[Robin]

Stop it.

[Kathy]

So wait, I don't know how old your kids are, but how did they adjust to you going on the show?

[Susan]

Did you just apply? How did you hear?

[Robin]

Shockingly. I mean, I got all the stories of how women get on this show. And I was like, new. No one knew. No one and knew nothing. Let's just go for 101.

[Susan]

Just an application, right?

[Robin]

Just 101, girlfriend. And I'm not tech savvy, so nine times I. I deleted everything and redid it and got another glass of wine. I went through bottles of wine to get this application.

[Kathy]

What did your kids say? How old are your kids, by the way?

[Robin]

So I have a 27 and a 29.

[Kathy]

Okay.

[Robin]

Okay, well, Lindsay and Nathan. Lindsay, my girl. It's like, oh, my God. Like, when I found out, we're, like, jumping up and down. We're like, oh, my God. I can't believe it.

[Susan]

I can't believe it.

[Robin]

You both get in here. Nanda's like, oh, oh. Okay.

[Susan]

I have to interrupt for one second. What I'm seeing right now, within the last. What is it, two or three minutes is not what I saw on episode one or two yet.

[Robin]

It was hard.

[Susan]

What happened?

[Robin]

I was. Didn't know.

[Susan]

You gotta be you, Susan.

[Kathy]

You said exactly what I was thinking. I was waiting for Robin to finish. And Robin, I'm going to tell you, finding love, whether it's on television, whether it's in your backyard, whether it's at a winery, you've got to be you. Because if the guy is going to fall in love with you and you're going to fall in love with him, you both have to be who you are, otherwise it's never going to happen.

[Susan]

Was it nerves?

[Robin]

Probably. No, I think what I did was I was. I was looking at the global structure here, right? I'm looking at, like, how does this all work? Which is fine in my career, but.

[Susan]

Just going to say it's not the vineyard you're looking at.

[Robin]

Situation like this, you have seconds, you have minutes.

[Kathy]

So how was it getting out of the limo? Let's start with that. Oh, my God.

[Robin]

I cannot tell you. I mean, you know, ladies, you did this. So the amount of energy, angst, anxiety, yes. Rehearsal, all that stuff, I get in a limo, there's this gorgeous women in the limo.

[Susan]

I'm like, right.

[Robin]

Oh, my goodness gracious. And I'm just trying to rehearse my lines. My horrible wine. I want to get to him. Don't want to trip. Give him my wine. Because I'm the wine lady, right?

[Susan]

Please don't fall. Right.

[Robin]

That's Please don't fall.

[Kathy]

Same thing.

[Robin]

Him. There's 19 different cobblestone stones. I can't fall right? So I get there, and first of all, he's adorable. He's just. He's my type. I mean, physically, just, oh, let's get down to work.

[Kathy]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. When you laid eyes on him, what was your first thought?

[Robin]

So my life. I mean, he's just like. So we. It's hard to find. It's hard to find anyone, especially at this stage in life when we're all, you know, we've all eclipsed. We all change our body types. We're focus. He is totally my type. So I was like, oh, yeah, this is going to be good. So I walked out and I gave my life. I was very excited. Very excited. And so that's the answer. I was excited. I couldn't wait to see him. He's so welcoming. He was so kind. He was so. He was just. He made you feel at ease, you know, I took everyone's hand. It was so nice. And then I walked into the mansion, and I literally exploded. I let out a scream like, we're here. The last six months of anxiety.

[Susan]

I know, I know. How did you prepare? Were you out looking at clothes? Like, what do I wear? How.

[Robin]

I'm telling you, every single thing I took out of my suitcase had a tag on.

[Kathy]

Oh, hello, Susan.

[Robin]

So I wear lots of friends, and they're like, oh, yeah, you can't wear that. And you can't wear that. I'm like, I can't do this. And I like a really busy, professional woman. So for me to take hours of time.

[Kathy]

Listen, I am not a busy professional woman, and I hate shopping. So I'm right there with you.

[Robin]

Okay, so it would be like Bewitched or like Hydrema Genie. Like, really?

[Kathy]

I just want someone to buy, remember, by Juju.

[Robin]

She blinked. Yes.

[Kathy]

Yeah.

[Susan]

Well, was there any woman or maybe a few of them that you gravitated to?

[Robin]

Okay, so we walk. And you guys know this. I love talking to you about this. So you walk in, of course, this big mansion, and you're there. And I literally nearly sat next to Cindy. What are the chances? And this gorgeous blue gown. I mean, her gown was just. I was like, I have a woman who made. I'm getting gowns made from this woman. And we just sat and talked for a long time. There was a lot of chatter, as you well know. And at like, 4:30 in the morning time, you do a wine tasting. I'm like, I've Never wine tasted at 4:30 in the morning. But I'm up for it. I'm up for it. So we want to taste it. And I, Cindy, and then of course, my roommates were. You know, you align with people that you spend time with.

[Kathy]

Who was in your room?

[Susan]

What room were you in?

[Robin]

I was in the smallest room, the room that had no closets. We call it the two step room. Two steps to Carol's room, two steps to the bathroom, two steps to Robin's bed. So it was Jerry, Amy, Carol, and then Cindy was our mascot. She didn't belong to us, but then she belonged to us for a long time. She's ours now. We've got him. Yes. Yeah, go back.

[Susan]

She's lovely.

[Kathy]

Isn't it funny how quickly or you tell me. I mean, in. In our season, we forged friendships so quickly. And Susan and I both knew that Gary wasn't nice guy, but not our guy. And I don't know how that was for you. Did you feel like Mel could be your guy or were you more involved in the friendships?

[Robin]

You know, there are so many elements. We have a lot of history, a lot of backstory which you might or might not be familiar with, but we have a lot of commonalities. On Divorce, he worked for Merrill lynch for a few years. I mean, we have a lot. We're both from California, both professional. We both. We have kids, we adore our kids. Both our kids are professional athletes. His kids are in high baseball. So I had such high hopes for this.

[Kathy]

I think it works because Susan, I think what Robin is telling us that she can't admit to is she's engaged. Too bad.

[Robin]

But you have to watch every episode.

[Kathy]

Before you go, oh, we are, we are. But I'm just saying you sound like somebody. It sounds like there's a connection.

[Susan]

All right, I gotta fast forward to the night that we were there.

[Kathy]

This week's episode night ever, I guess.

[Robin]

You guys, I guess.

[Kathy]

Wasn't that fun when they said so?

[Robin]

Yeah, we all run to the door, we open the door. Like we exploded, you guys. I mean, not that everyone's not my favorite, but you are my favorite. I don't want to say that. It shows the children here.

[Kathy]

Well, can I tell you, we were so excited, Just as excited. We were so excited coming in and they were. As Susan and I pulled up and, you know, they had us waiting to come in front. I'm telling her they were taking some photos and somebody saying to me, kathy, back up, back. Because trying to film something back or photograph or whatever. Back up.

[Susan]

We had all the bags in our.

[Kathy]

Hands, all our, our gift bags for you all, which I still have them, which we'll get to. And then we. They sit back up and I took one step too far and literally fell into the bushes, legs up. Could not stop laughing. I'm going film this. It was just like, I don't know if you saw me on paradise on the camping trip when I went through.

[Susan]

She fell there too.

[Kathy]

It was, it was exactly the same. They could not stop laughing.

[Susan]

So we got to get our composure together. Get the bags back together. Get to the door. Get to the door.

I had an incredible time at this year's iHeartRadio music festival and even got the chance to hang out with Diplo and Bailey Zimmerman while I was there. Check this out. So how did Ashes come together? Diplo well, I kind of briefly met Bailey I think at Morgan's show, one of them, and I think he's just the guy in Nashville. He's cool as hell and I had a new kind of sound I wanted to do and I think he's the one guy that could carry it and I came to his house, I had a show, I pulled up real quick, he was about to leave on tour. You're about to jump in your tour bus and we had like three hours play the record for him. We kind of like got a scratch and then he handled it on his own on the road.

[Robin]

Yeah, it was really cool.

[Kathy]

He really just like randomly showed up to my house and I'm like, oh.

[Robin]

Hey Diplo, what are you doing?

[Kathy]

He's like I have a song that.

[Robin]

I want to show you.

[Kathy]

And I was like okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And then now we're here playing it live. You can listen to the full episode out now wherever you get your podcast. And big shout out to my friends at Hyundai for making this possible. Had a blast cruising around festival weekend in the all new Palisade Hybrid.

[Robin]

Host compensated for their time I know many strong women who are breast cancer patients, so as you might imagine, it's a topic especially near and dear to my heart. Watching them suffer through the challenges of their experiences made me realize I wanted to help other women not only become more comfortable talking about breast health, but also help them learn about breast cancer treatments that may be available to them. That's why I want to tell you about Kiskali. Kiskali ribociclib 200mg tablets are taken with an aromatase inhibitor. It's for adults with HR positive, HER2 negative stage 2 or 3 early breast cancer with a high risk of recurrence and it can help reduce the risk of cancer coming back. In a clinical study at three years, 91% of people taking Kiskali plus an aromatase inhibitor were cancer free versus 88% taking an aromatase inhibitor alone. Individual results may vary. Kiskali may cause serious skin reactions, liver problems and low white blood cell counts that may result in serious infections. Life threatening lung problems and abnormal heartbeats can occur. Your doctor should test your heart and blood before and during treatment. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening cough, chest pain or dizziness. Before taking Kaskali, tell your doctor all your medical conditions, medicines you take and if you're breastfeeding pregnant or planning to be as it can harm an unborn baby. Common side effects include nausea, headache and tiredness. Defense is important on and off the ice and Kiskali is all about doing more to help protect your tomorrow. So find out how you can too. Visit kiskali.com that's K I S Q A L I.com to learn more and ask your doctor if Kiskali is right for you.

[Kathy]

It was so exciting for us to meet you guys and see the experience, excitement around your guys journey to find love and the friendships. I mean for Susan and me it was just coming home again, you know and that's why we love Bittersweet, if you will.

[Robin]

I bet you it was like when we saw you, we were so excited because we had no idea. They were like, okay, like, someone's at the door. Like, you know, you know nothing.

[Susan]

No, you know nothing.

[Robin]

It's, it's, it's, it's. It's a land of nothing.

[Susan]

Was it just quiet time?

[Kathy]

Well, let's be clear.

[Susan]

Just chilling.

[Kathy]

We came to the, the slumber party for anyone who, who isn't up on this or who's missed an episode. He was on a one on one. Mel was on a one on one with Debbie. And you know, let's be honest here. When the guy, the lead is on a date with someone, you can say anything you want. The rest of us are sitting around going, yeah, I hope they're having a good time. Not.

[Robin]

Yeah, I hope not. I hope they trip and follow when they're coming back.

[Kathy]

So, okay, so we want to talk about the, the roast. Oh, my God. The roast with Jared Freed. What was your experience? I love what you say.

[Robin]

Okay, so I don't know if you saw what I said, but I'll tell you something. This was my. Okay, you know, you think about, like, you got ladies went through this process. So, you know, this honestly was my biggest fear. And I don't have a lot of fears in life, but this was a fear because it was a spot that. A performance, which I like to perform, but I need to be prepared. Right. It was like the cheer winning. You are. You have 45 minutes to get.

[Susan]

Oh, we know.

[Robin]

And you know and you're on the bus and it'll tell you a thing. And you get there and you're like, golden Bachelor roast. I'm like, are you kid. No, that'll not be. That'll not. So it was far for me, but.

[Kathy]

So it was hard. You did a great job. But I want to know because I'm going to be honest here. I. I'm a. I'm like you, Robin. I'm very outgoing. I'm very gregarious. But I did not really like the group dates because I'm not. Even though I'm outgoing, I wasn't going to fight to get in his face. What was your feeling on the group dates? Tell me how you felt.

[Robin]

So, okay, so I didn't. What's the inside question? I realized that my level of expertise in roasting someone was going to be a little bit more challenging, and I didn't have that knowledge base. So I actually liked the group dates to the Point that we were a group and we competed together, but we weren't competing together at that stage. We were competing individually. And it was definitely more of. And I remember thinking to myself, okay, I really got to kill it here, because obviously everybody wants the one on one. They want the out the after. So it was unlike the cheerleading, which we were a team. We didn't have that. So it was harder. And I think that's one of the elements. By the way, Kathy, I wore your favorite earrings. I wore your favorite copy. Your favorite earrings.

[Kathy]

So. So. So to your point, it was individual. And Nicole wins the one on one date. How did you feel about that?

[Susan]

I'm reading your facial expression because I want to know, did you feel like Terry and and Cindy about the pool activity and Nicole being so forward and sucking his tongue out of his mouth constantly. Then she wins. What were your thoughts?

[Robin]

I do think a lot of us felt, and I'm only speaking myself, but it was kind of a common theme. Yes, we could tell that she won for that. So what I think happened in life, we all did our best, and we literally came out of our comfort zones. I mean, you know, you ladies did what you did.

[Susan]

It was not easy.

[Robin]

You do things that are not in your wheelhouse and the things that are going to be challenging for you. We all rose to the occasion and we get it. If you look at some of the actual skits. The actual skits, There were some phenomenal skits. Not that Nicole's was not great, but was the best. Maybe it was the best for Mel.

[Kathy]

Or maybe.

[Susan]

What did you think of Mr. Friedman there, Mr. Freeman?

[Robin]

Maybe it was Mr. Freeman.

[Kathy]

Or maybe. Maybe Mel. Let's just cut it down to what it is. Maybe Mel looked at Nicole and thought, you know what? I like the way she kisses me. And now I'm gonna have a one on one to see if it's real. I mean, that's what I think. That's possible.

[Robin]

But you know what? Honestly, I think that's valuable because this man has to decide between unbelievable women. Like, we're phenomenal. You are crazy great women. So I think. And people be like, oh, she's got a one on one. Like. But maybe that's good, because then he can decide, well, that's is my person. Oh, that's not my right.

[Kathy]

Did you. Exactly. Robin, did you mind him making out with her in the pool? Or to be grammatically correct, did you mind her making out with him in the pool? Or as Cindy said, did you mind her climbing him like a climbing tree?

[Robin]

That was. That was a line.

[Susan]

I think so far the whole priceless statement.

[Robin]

So here's what I think. Everybody approaches love differently. This is not how I approach law. This is not what I do. This would not be my wheelhouse. So.

[Kathy]

Right.

[Robin]

Everybody does it differently. That would not be anything I would ever be comfortable with. Ever.

[Kathy]

Yeah, me. Okay, fair enough.

[Susan]

Did you happen to say anything to Nicole about her actions?

[Robin]

We did have a cute conversations after that. And she was like, no. You know, but here's the bottom line. I think I've thought about this a lot. I think that everyone uses. They lead with what they have.

[Susan]

Yes.

[Robin]

Like, I lead with different things that Nicole lead with.

[Susan]

Yes, absolutely.

[Kathy]

You tell me. Nicole has good lips. What do you say?

[Susan]

Mine would be left.

[Robin]

Really great lips.

[Kathy]

Really good, you know. No, you're right. I lead with humor. I think that's really wise. I think.

[Robin]

I mean, I lead with. Intelligently with a lot of things. I don't lead.

[Kathy]

Robin, what you lead with is a good bottle of wine.

[Robin]

Oh, baby, you don't even know.

[Kathy]

Okay, so I want to know. So nine left. How did you feel? Like, how did it feel for you to see so many of those great women go? And. And were you shocked by any of the eliminations?

[Robin]

So it was so sad because the mod has left the. Terry left. Terry left. Amy left my roommate. And I was just like. I was so grateful. Thank you, Lord. Because I know if you look at the dynamics of our relationship so much there. There's so much there. I mean, there's so many things. So I was like, okay. And when I got to the nine, I came downstairs that morning, I'm like. I was like, hooting. How I go, please. We're in single digits. We're in single digits. We do.

[Kathy]

We do.

[Robin]

Because that's a big deal, right?

[Susan]

It is a big deal. It is.

[Robin]

So, yeah, I was.

[Susan]

It gets harder each week too. Yeah, it gets harder each week because, you know, you got to be packed and ready to say goodbye and you don't know what's going to happen.

[Robin]

And we loving.

[Susan]

So I feel crying that one of the things I've always said to. To everyone in Bachelor when you do these shows couldn't, especially for the seniors, the group dates be a little smaller and more intimate, that you can have convers and get to know someone rather than 10 people. He's, you know, just doing.

[Robin]

He's doing this. He's like, oh, husband died. Oh, okay. You okay? You live in Austin. Oh, okay.

[Kathy]

I mean.

[Susan]

And you got to try to Remember?

[Robin]

Yeah.

[Kathy]

Well, here's the thing. If you're really smart, you find a way. And I wasn't good at it, but. But I think you find a way to make that. That connection with him that he wants to know more.

[Robin]

Yes. Well. Yes, that's what everyone. Now, looking at the first episode and everything, I realized people dug very deep. So I came out with the bottle of wine and if you look at the first episode, there are people that really dug deep and said, okay, but what do you want? And how many kids and what your life look like and what do you want? I'm like, so what do I have a little wine? Do you like?

[Kathy]

Yeah, but you know what, but that's who you are. That's your thing.

[Susan]

And you're.

[Kathy]

Yes, that's your thing. You can know.

[Robin]

I don't know if it's like. But it's got to get deep. And you. And you lay. You love us. You did this journey. It's seconds, it's minutes. It's this, it's. It's a snap.

[Susan]

So at this point in time, after that, that you made this. What were your feelings like towards him at that point? Like, you just couldn't wait to have more time with him?

[Robin]

Okay. So I really started getting in touch. Honestly, everyone was so getting to know him and I'm like, okay. And I don't know if they'll. I don't know what happened, but I decided that. So I need to develop my feminine side. We've decided. Cindy, my. My flirtation friend, because I wrote that in my notes. A little flirty. It's all the flirty.

[Kathy]

Hey, wait, wait, wait.

[Robin]

Me or her?

[Kathy]

Wait, Robin, you wait. I see you, you know, flipping your hair there. I. I'm a detective and I need. This is the court of justice and I need. How many women there had extensions?

[Robin]

Do you know? I don't.

[Kathy]

I told you. How many did.

[Robin]

I can't count the number, but there was.

[Kathy]

There you go, Susan. I was right. I told you, Ms. Hairdresser. I told you. I said there's no. I know.

[Susan]

Peg didn't have any.

[Robin]

Peg did not have any. I don't know the rest.

[Susan]

Terry didn't have any.

[Robin]

No, there were a lot. Because, I mean, you. It's. I mean, this is my long hair. This is long for a 6301, right? Like this is all matchup.

[Kathy]

No, stop right there. Your hair is beautiful. We. Do you ever say to someone, robin, oh, your hair is beautiful and Lovely for a 23 year old? We never say that. Don't say, oh, my hair is thick and long.

[Robin]

Thank you. I love my hair. My people love my hair.

[Kathy]

It's just enough.

[Susan]

How about when people. When you wear something, people say, oh, you could pull that off because you're. What the hell does that mean?

[Robin]

Okay, I can just strike that.

[Kathy]

Strike that. Thank you.

[Robin]

Get the strike lady. Get the strike man.

[Kathy]

Susan, for you. If a guy says to me, you can pull that off, he means something else. All right?

[Robin]

Yeah, but the answer is, I do understand people that have, you know, everybody has their thing. I mean, like, everybody does whatever they do to look better. So.

[Kathy]

All right, so, Robin, we gotta ask you, you know, we've. We've bulleted you with questions here.

[Robin]

Yes, you have. Drinking. Can we just stop and take a sip? Yeah, we stop and take a sip.

[Kathy]

Salu. A voter. Hey, hey.

[Robin]

[Robin]

I want to know so many things about your ladies. First of all, how was Bachelor in Paris? Tell me, tell me, tell Me.

[Kathy]

Oh, my God. I can answer this in, like, 30 seconds. I had the time of my life, and I'll tell you why. I knew. I'm great friends with Keith. I knew there was no love connection. I loved being with those youngins. I felt like they wanted us there. They wanted our wisdom, our advice.

[Robin]

And.

[Kathy]

And, I mean, how much fun is it when someone's cooking meals for you and you don't have to make your own bed? There you go. 30 seconds. Loved it.

[Robin]

Okay, so let me ask you another question. So now you're off the show, and now you have a whole world ahead of you.

[Kathy]

Yes.

[Robin]

How does that look? Because everyone's like, this is going to change your world. You're going to change.

[Kathy]

What does that look like for me? My world has. I've gotten to do so many wonderful things through Bachelor, and this podcast is right at the top of the heap, and I'm so grateful for every experience. But I will tell you, Robin, I am the same woman I was before I went on the show in that I love my family. I go to. I go to California and I do some fun things. I come back and vacuum my rugs. You know, I'm. I'm. I am grateful for every experience I've had. But I'm just like you. I'm looking for that person to. To wake up next to and say, I'm so glad I found you. So I'm not different from you or anyone else.

[Susan]

But what I think they mean, Robyn, when they say this to you is you're going to be more recogn. Everywhere you go, people are going to know who you are, and you're stopped. And Kathy and I's message coming off the show was, it's never too late. It's never too late to find love. It's never too late. The world is full of opportunities. It's not over at 60. It might be the last chapter, but it's the best chapter.

[Kathy]

And we're both hoping we've got that carved in stone. It is our last chapter. It's going to be my and is my best chapter. I am grateful for every wonderful experience.

[Robin]

So I focus on women. So since I've been divorced, I focus on women. So I'm a big wealth advisor, you know, whatever vineyard wealth advisor. And I really.

[Kathy]

I have to interrupt you. Can you make my 10 million into 100 million? And, oh, let's give it a month.

[Robin]

How many years we got?

[Kathy]

I said a month. A month, Robin. A month.

[Robin]

But you got 10 million. That's a Pretty good start.

[Kathy]

And you have been recognized.

[Susan]

Have you been recognized yet? Like.

[Robin]

Well, that's the question for you ladies. So I now you goes out without makeup. I mean, are you like totally recognizable?

[Susan]

Yes. You got to see the pictures of me they take.

[Robin]

Yeah.

[Susan]

Can we do a selfie? I'm in Walmart at 9 o' clock at night in sweatpants. My hair's stuck up in here. I don't care.

[Robin]

You don't care for. I have a new platform. And one of the things I will tell you in ending this is I. I did a tremendous amount of counseling when I was there. So our room was matter of fact. Cindy walked by me. So Robin's mom is doing counseling again. I counseled everybody. I sat with all the young people and I'm like this. So I do finance. I mean, wine is a great fun experience and we all love when talking about it. But where the wheelhouse of my life is, is just helping people financially. Okay. That's what. And now since I've been divorced, I really focus on women because I know that women do not have. Normally don't have the wherewithal or the impetus or the knowledge or just the. The theory to go. They leave it to someone else. So when I sat with all the people, I did a lot of counseling. So I left this with really even more knowing that my, My gift to life is to help people figure out where they're going. And I just want to give knowledge right now. That's why I asked you what your platform was. It's been more entrenched with me than ever.

[Kathy]

Okay. So, Robin, you and I are going to go on the road together because I will tell you, I am a smart girl and I thought I knew about all our finances and all that. And, and when my husband died suddenly, I re. I very quickly realized, no, I didn't know. And. And so one of the things that I. That I've talked about is women needing to understand to be more financially literate. So yay. You. You need to do more of that. I'll go on the road with you and talk about it. But the other thing that Susan and I, our platform for everyone listening is get up. Life does not come to your front door. Get out there, live. You have one life to live. Enjoy it. Make things happen. You are the master of your own destiny. And we love the fact that people will come up to us and, and say, you've given me hope. You've given me the. You've inspired me to get up and.

[Susan]

Live like healing in the world.

[Kathy]

Yeah. So that our life has changed.

[Robin]

And I'll wrap that up by saying two things. I've run a financial literacy class for people in high schools. Oh, yes, high school. Please, please take me on there with you. This is all I want to do in life. So financial literacy, people know you learn. 99. Everything you do by your parents.

[Podcast Advertiser/Announcer]

Yes.

[Robin]

I work with the community with a lot of different, you know, levels of education and knowledge and wealth. So that's one thing I do. The other thing I do, I realized when I was on the show, and I. I tell you then, I won here. But when I was on the show and you asked me about my roast, at the end of it, I said, and this is what my platform was. I started realizing why I was on the show initially. All the counseling I did was you just exactly what you said, my dear. You need to encourage people that it's never too late. It's never too old. You're never too young. You don't just matter what you look. It doesn't. Do it.

[Susan]

Just do it.

[Robin]

Do it.

[Kathy]

Because none of us want I should speak for myself, but I think I speak for many of us. We don't want to be, you know, one day from leaving this earth with regrets of. I wish I had tried this. I wish I had done that. The worst that can happen is you fail. And you know what? We are old enough to know if you fail. So what, you pick yourself back up and you put a smile on your face and you give it another try. And. And that is my biggest message. And, Susan, you too?

[Susan]

Absolutely. Robin, I want to ask you, what did you learn about yourself coming off the show?

[Robin]

I need to develop my covenant side. I need to develop the fact that it's okay to be vulnerable. It's okay to not be.

[Susan]

To be in charge. It's okay to let them leave once.

[Robin]

In a while, let that thing happen. And that was my biggest issue with the roast. I'm like, well, I don't know. I can do. I know I'd be pretty. It's okay. And that's the takeaway. It's. Robin, you and I, this is okay.

[Kathy]

We're gonna be.

[Susan]

I have. I have one more question, and I promise I'll stop. After. After seeing us on our show, compared to all the women on your show, what. What do you think was different, if anything?

[Robin]

A watch. Yeah, it was a lot different. So I do think they tap down the age a lot. I think they tapped down age a lot, and I think that they look different.

[Kathy]

Yeah.

[Robin]

You know, I really think that they.

[Susan]

Really had long hair.

[Robin]

Everybody had long hair. Everybody was very. I mean, with fit. But you guys are fit. I'm just saying, you know, they. They really worked on aesthetics. That was different than your show. Yeah, I think that. And I do. I mean, I watched your. I mean, you ladies, you understand. I can repeat things you said. That's how many times I watch your show.

[Susan]

Robin, what to do.

[Kathy]

We were different Robins.

[Robin]

It was great. But I do think that's it. And I also think that they're trying. I also think that people came in with different agendas. I do think.

[Susan]

My point.

[Robin]

Yes. You think that. I think that.

[Kathy]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Give us the top three agendas.

[Robin]

I'm not like, well, the kitchen talk, you know, the kitchen talk is business, you know, finding a man, financial security. I mean, I don't know exactly who, but I think you all. I'm just. As a broad generalization, you all came in as just finding true love with the pure heart. I came in with that. I don't. I don't mean anyone to do anything.

[Susan]

Not everybody did. Right.

[Robin]

I just wanted to find that person. I can tell. Guess what happened yesterday, right? I don't think. I don't think that was purity in our cast. I don't.

[Kathy]

Was that a problem? Was that a problem for you guys?

[Robin]

I think that the. I think that it was illuminated. I think it was illuminated.

[Susan]

Was spoken about. Okay. Did Amy really do all the ditches?

[Robin]

I love Amy. She's my roommate. I can't ever say that I love Amy. She's the best. Now I'm just saying a lot of people. I mean, I think that people came in like. And. And, you know, I mean, the Bachelor Nation's been on forever. Thirty years ago was not like it today. People wanted to be movie star. I don't know, like social media, you know, I don't know this stuff. Social, whatever.

[Susan]

We didn't know anything.

[Kathy]

Yeah. Susan, we gotta say, when we came on the show and we can speak honestly, I think we can speak for pretty much our entire cast.

[Susan]

Yes.

[Kathy]

I did not know what a brand deal, an influencer. I didn't know what any of that was. Susan and I came on with pure. Am I speaking for both of us. We wanted to find love. I want to find the man who wants to wake up next to me every morning and say how lucky.

[Susan]

That's what the show is about. It's supposed to.

[Robin]

And I think it's this. I do think as it. As it eclipses things, challenge get challenged. And it does G beat. Yeah. That's why I do think. And they're gorgeous. I'm not saying it's. And I'm not sure they. I'm not not saying they wouldn't want love, but I don't think it's completely always the. The Paramount. Like, I came with an open heart. I want to find love.

[Kathy]

Yeah.

[Robin]

Please find the man I want. So. And I don't know if that's all. I think that's eclipsing, though. Like, it's. It. That's what happens.

[Susan]

I'm coming to wine country, girlfriend.

[Robin]

You know, you ladies. Oh, my God.

[Kathy]

Oh, no. We're coming to see you. You don't understand, Robin. We are going to show up on your doorstep.

[Robin]

I wish you.

[Susan]

No, I'm gonna text you before we come. Please send me your number so I could text you and say we're on our way.

[Robin]

I want you to. I would love you. Oh, my God. The time we would have. But. But you got Susan. You have somebody, right?

[Susan]

Yes, I did have somebody.

[Kathy]

Yes, she does.

[Susan]

February 14th, as a matter of fact.

[Kathy]

We're gonna do it together, Robin. I'm gonna drag Cindy and Roxanne. Whoever else wants to show up, we're gonna come because that's. Those are the Austin contingent.

[Susan]

Well, we have that Bachelor Nation vacation at. See, that's the first one ever.

[Robin]

I know.

[Susan]

I know you guys are going to come on that with us.

[Robin]

We could. I could. I just have to be on the schedule, and that could be fun.

[Susan]

So is there anything else you want to ask us before.

[Robin]

I just want to tell you that you're an inspiration.

[Kathy]

Thank you.

[Robin]

I just want to tell you that you were the first people out of the gate. It was a very hard thing to do. You have really illuminated just what life could be like in this stage of our lives, trying to find love. And it's. It was really a. It's. Well, first of all, it was an honor to meet you. When you guys came into the mansion, I mean, I cannot tell you.

[Susan]

Matter of fact, you were just as excited.

[Robin]

I'm telling you, I'm so. I'm going to watch party night. I'm wearing the pajamas tonight.

[Kathy]

Oh.

[Susan]

Did you hear that, Kathy? After the pillow flight fight, all the slippers were off and everything. She came home with two sizes, two different slippers.

[Robin]

Oh, yours is. Someone said to me, is this your bracelet? It was your bracelet, Kathy. I'm like, oh, yeah, that must be Amy's, because she wore all the gold bracelets.

[Kathy]

Oh, can I tell you. No, no, no. I got out and I looked down, and it was a diamond and gold bracelet. I flipped out. I know. I was so lucky to find it.

[Robin]

I had it on my arm.

[Kathy]

It was you?

[Robin]

No, no. They picked it up and they thought it was Amy's bracelet because Amy wears all that, you know, all that stuff.

[Susan]

And I was like, all that stuff?

[Robin]

Oh, yeah, I'll take it. She's in. She's. She's my roommate. I'll put it on. And so.

[Susan]

Yeah, put it on. Bring it upstairs. Right, right, right.

[Robin]

Okay. Okay. All your favorite earrings. And I have your dress anyway. You guys have been at one of them. I would. If you ever want me to go on the road with you. If you ever want to do. Why?

[Susan]

I mean, I. I love this. We're gonna let you know when we're gonna be out your way for sure. And this was so much fun. Thank you so much for joining us.

Hey, it's Bobby from the Bobby Bones Show. I had an incredible time at this year's iHeartRadio music festival and even got the chance to hang out with Diplo and Bailey Zimmerman while I was there. How did Ashes come together, Diplo? I pulled up real quick. He was about to leave on tour. You're about to jump in your tour bus. And we had, like, three hours.

[Robin]

It was really cool.

[Kathy]

He really just, like, randomly showed up to my house and like, oh, hey.

[Robin]

Diplo, what are you doing? He's like, I have a song that I want to show you.

[Bobby Bones]

And I was like, okay, you can listen to the full episode out now, wherever you get your podcasts. And big shout out to my friends at Hyundai for making this possible. Had a blast cruising around festival weekend in the all new Palisade hybrid.

Hosts compensated for their time. I've seen a lot of tough women in my life, Women who fight hard and keep showing up no matter what. And when one of them gets hit with breast cancer, it's brutal. But here's the thing. Even after treatment, breast cancer can come back. That's why I'm telling you about Kiskali. Kiskali. Ribociclib. 200 milligram tablets are taken with an aromatase inhibitory. It's for adults with HR positive HER2, negative stage 2 or 3 early breast cancer with a high risk of recurrence and it can help reduce the risk of cancer coming back. If you or someone you love went through it, talk to them. Share this it may not seem helpful, but it's a real way to show up for the women you love or maybe yourself. In a clinical study at three years, 91% of people taking Kiskali plus an aromatase inhibitor were cancer free versus 88% taking an aromatase inhibitor alone. Individual results may vary. Kiskali may cause serious skin reactions, liver problems and low white blood cell counts that may result in serious infections. Life threatening lung problems and abnormal heartbeats can occur. Your doctor should test your heart and blood before and during treatment. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening cough, chest pain or dizziness before taking Kaskali. Tell your doctor all your medical conditions, medicines you take and if you're breastfeeding, pregnant or planning to be as it can harm an unborn baby. Common side effects include nausea, headache and tiredness. Visit kiskali.com that's K I S Q A L I to learn more and ask your doctor if Kiskali is right for you.
