And today we have an extremely special guest.
Oh my love, our dear friend Faith.
Faith.
Thank you for joining us today.
Hi, I'm so excited to talk to you. We got to catch up. It's been a while. We get all busy in our lives and you know, it's hard.
It is hard.
So I have a question right off the bat. I oh, you know faith. You and I've talked about this a little bit. The most fun thing, other than you know, Gary proposing to me, Oh wait.
He didn't.
The most fun thing for me was doing the live wedding and having a microphone in my hand on live TV. I loved it. So tell me what it's like for you as a radio host. I mean, you do live. I know you tape some of them, but you've done a lot of live gigs your music.
Tell me about it.
Well, I've always done live since I was eighteen years old. It was always live up until last year when I said, I really want to do it from home. You know so, And part of the reason why I was doing it from home is because I host three radio shows every day and I was a full time musician, so I was playing music like three days a week, so I literally couldn't do live shows or I'd be on from five in the morning till eleven at night. You know, I was always So it's just really hard, but yeah, we you know, that was our mo because we always had to do live broadcasts.
You know, I can't stand up, but they're remotes.
But you know, oh well, no, it's not that I mean radio live but you know, we were like, I'm on the street corner.
You know, hey, I'm live blah blah blah.
And then I was also a news anchor, so I was always doing a live report from blah blah blah. So my whole life has been like that and on live. So it's not necessarily fun. It was just work, you know, It's just what we did always since I was eighteen years old. We kind of live out loud, and you know, we're just always live, you know, chaotic moments live on the air.
You know, some of them were hilarious.
I remember, you know, the funniest times of my life have been when I was live TV or live radio and something funny happens, you know, So yeah, good times.
But what about what about your dating life?
Did that interfere because you were out in public all the time, like did you Yeah?
I some times it did, honestly. You know, I live in a in a tri city area. We have about three hundred and fifteen thousand people. I hide out on the outskirts in the little Benton City, but you know, the metro area in which I work is about three hundred and fifteen thousand people, and I swear I know every single one of them. So you when you're riding horses and riding motorcycles and on three radio stations and on a as a newsperson and we broadcast international, well, I mean, you know, you know a lot of people because you have a lot of circles. So you bring a guy in your life, and I remember one guy would say, how am I supposed to feel special to you? Everyone loves you and you happen to love everyone. And I was like, but you don't love one kid more than another, And so I was like, yeah, you're not the guy for me. He just didn't get it. It was like, has nothing to do with how special you are to me. Of course, my listeners, my viewers are special to me. They just are always will be.
So so I want to know, how did your family and your viewers, since you know so many people, what was everyone's thought in your town?
What about your family, your kids? What everyone?
Yeah?
Well my kids were always one hundred percent supportive. You know, if I'm happy, they're happy. My viewers. I knew that they would be amazing, and they are. They are just so amazing. This community. I've been here since well, let's see, I've done radio. I started in Salt Lake City, but I've done radio here since nineteen ninety so, and they've watched me kind of grow up in TV and in radio, and I've always been huge advocate for nonprofit organizations that I've you know, powered for, you know, and and instigated fundraising efforts, and so I've always been all over the area. So they were so incredibly supportive.
And I'm so comfortable in front of an audience, right and live.
Yeah, well too comfortable.
When you came to the mansion, you.
Were all so, you know, because I didn't care really what I wasn't on the show to do anything but make a connection with Gary. So I really I didn't care about dressing up. I didn't care what the world thought of me. I really didn't care. It wasn't like I needed to make a big splash for TV because I could care less. I really my main and only focus was is this going to be the man I marry. I knew this was a decision that could mean a whole change in my life, and I wanted to know if he is the guy for me. And likewise, I wanted to know if you know, if we were asking the right questions. My focus was totally that. Now, looking back, I'm like, wow, I wish I would have cared a little more about those ugly dresses I bought.
And you didn't look beautiful?
No, And I was like you Remember, we'd get ready and I'd be like, I'll get me ready in ten minutes, and everybody's like it's going to take me two and a half hours.
I'm like, hand, you know, I don't know why I felt that way. I guess I felt like the people that will love.
Me are going to love me for who I am. I didn't feel like I needed to impress the populace.
All right, I have a good question for you, pete O.
Can you ever consider going back and dating an X?
You know, No, I don't really have any xes that I have time for or would want to be with again, not that I can think of it.
Is there any circumstance that you know that you could imagine that you would change your mind on that?
Now?
If you would have asked me this maybe eight years ago or six years ago, I would say yes, But not now.
And that's because she dated the X again and it didn't work out.
No, No, it's because you.
Oh that would you take Gary again?
No, I don't. I don't think I would. And you know you want to know why.
Well, yeah, the world wants to know. Fairly, we all want to know me.
No, I think you know. I love Gary.
I thought there was something so different about and that I totally appreciated, and honestly speaking, we were pretty dark compatible in a lot of ways.
But yeah, you know, I've just decided in this moment.
As much as I felt for him, my intuition would lead me to believe still, you know, we'll text every now and then, you know, so, yeah, I mean, I'll always be there. We had that shared experience, right, all of us did, right, So we're bonding for life. I still text him, I'm still talk today. Yeah, yeah, And I think that's important that we all do that, because wasn't it honestly quite an adventure and for Leslie and me and Teresa too, I think it was even so much more intense that he was.
We just got to talk. You know.
Do you feel as if you got caught up in the moment.
If I did, or he did, if you did, if I did. Uh, No, it wasn't like that at all.
I feel like I really was there for that purpose, I probably could have Mary Gary and we'd probably be, you know, pretty darn happy. I guess knowing that, what I know now that I think he really comes from an analytical side instead of leading his heart with I mean, his life with his heart. That just doesn't work for me, you know, Like I feel like he made a decision out of the logical choice and not his heart. And I lead my whole life with my heart. My heart is what gets me through everything.
I think for Joan, it's going to be a whole different thing when you're the lead. And I think, you know, you got to you got to cut them some slack.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, definitely. You know people want reality TV. Well that's the truth. Reality happens. Everything can be beautiful, it can be magic and be fairyland, and you know what, sometimes it just doesn't work out.
And that is reality. And that doesn't mean you give up.
That means you you know, you learn from it, you understand it, you give it grace, and you move forward with something different. But here's the reason why I think Joan will be great. It is because she's coming in fresh. She didn't go through heartache, she didn't go through being on the show for so long she was out. You know, it's all fresh and new and you she'll be fine, you know where I think, you know, both Leslie and I and anybody else that had been there to the end almost you know, would be you know, we feel the weight, or at least I'm speaking for myself. I feel the weight of the show. I feel the weight of the turmoil of the emotional.
Sure.
Yeah, so with that in mind, faith, With that in mind that you know you're moving forward. Who are you dating anyone? Are you on dating apps?
Way?
Since you've been on reality TV? Do you think dating is harder?
No, it's it's the same. It's I know everybody in this town. I you know, the people that get a hold of me tend to be in their thirties and they've obviously got mommy issues or something because they're.
Good, good looking thirty year olds. And I'm like, well you.
But aside from that, no, nobody dms me. You know, I'm still waiting for Daryl Hall or Lenny Kravits.
So you're not on any Dady naps jump.
I know, my friend, you're both beautiful with you're both beautiful women.
Well here's the funny thing. So I hate to say this.
I struggle and I don't like spending my time with my face in a phone, so I get overwhelmed.
There's, you know, fifty messages.
I'm like, I'm in it for five minutes and I go, oh, for God's sake, I can't do you hear that?
Excuse me face? Fifty message? We don't, We didn't get any It.
Isn't I'm texting you forty nine right now while we're off doing this. I'm texting you you got forty nine to choose from good for you faith?
You can't remember did we have this conversation? Did we talk about this? And then I went to try to go make a profile, and I had just texted my sister a picture of my dogs making a mess on the front or they chewed up a dog dog toy, and I have textort a picture. When I went to make my profile, somehow the app grabbed a picture from my phone and so on my profile was a chewed up dog toy next to some dog poop on my lawn and I couldn't get it back off.
That is it just shows you to put you up to humor. Faith, I like.
Backed out of the app. I just went, I can't do this, and my friend goes, no, you have to change it, and I'm like, no, no, no, I don't want to touch it.
I just don't.
No, I'm not good at them. I don't like them.
What are you looking for on spill Faith?
Did anything change like what you used to look for since you've been on the show. Are you looking for any Did anything change?
I think I kind of got clarified on really what I do want. You know, I've always said so people automatically think, oh.
Because she rides a horse, she needs a cowboy.
You know, no cowboys.
I would not. I would not.
Be unhappy of somebody that I fell in love with hap to be a good writer and appreciate it that I can, you know, be into horses.
But no.
What I find really really appealing, for one is intelligence. For two is people that are not so set in their ways that they can't think outside the box.
You know.
I love people that are entrepreneurial. I love people that are inventors, that are producers, filmers, people that are creators, people that are doing something with the purpose, and people that have passion and innovation and are interesting and also somebody that is okay with me having a big life too, because I have a lot of hobbies and interest and things that I love and people that I love, and I'm okay with us not being attached at the hip. You know, I think we need to have our own autonomy.
So wow, Yeah, I have a question for you. And if you're not comfortable answering, but you know you you were divorced, but your ex husband tragically passed away and my husband tragically passed away. Are you are you at all willing to share sort of how that changed your life?
Oh?
My gosh, yeah, I mean I had no idea. First of all, I'll say that my twenty one year marriage to the love of my life was complex. It was not always good. There were times that you know, I mean, I loved him with my whole heart and soul and I think he did me as well, but he was kind of plagued with some addictions that made it really difficult for him to be his best self. And his authentic self was the most amazing, generous, loving, incredible man ever. But as we all know, addiction is huge, right, So we had some really really difficult times and I paid for the divorce. I gave him everything. I left just because I felt like I couldn't do it any longer. But as it turned out, we ended up to be really close friends, and we grandparented really well together. So, you know, I was always the naggy wife kind of you need to quit smoking, you need to quit drinking, you need to lose weight, you need to exercise more. You know, we went and got our COVID shots together. We were just always very very close. But what was really difficult, and the way that he died was tragic, but I had no idea the impact that that would have on my life. And I think and of course, when I was on the show, it was the year anniversary, and I knew my kids were really really suffering, you know, but I had no idea that I would then begin to start grieving the marriage. I don't think I ever really grieved my marriage. After di divorce, you know, it was such a painful thing for me to do. I jumped one hundred percent into music. So I was singing in a band that was playing music three to four days a week. I was working a morning show on the news or radio. I was just busy, busy, busy, and It wasn't until after he passed that I really began to process and grieve our marriage years. Yeah, and not grieving the grandpa and the best friend that I had there, but grieving the years that we spent that once we divorced, I didn't say all those things. And then the PTSD of finding him, you know, it was just.
You and I share that.
Yeah, yeah, oh gosh, Kathy, I feel for you because you.
Know, and it is you know.
I just now think, Yeah, I think that I'm in a better place now, But at that time on the show, I just thought I was going to lose it.
I don't, you know.
I think because you're thinking about love, you're thinking about relationships, you're clued into your heart, and it was a one year anniversary. It was just a really hard time for me to be on the show.
I think that one of the things you just said. Susan and I've talked about it. Susan is divorced, and obviously you and I are both widows, and I think there's something different. Loss is loss, and it's all tragic. All loss is tragic. But I think, you know, Susan talks to Rex's husband all the time, and they and their friends, and they can talk about whatever went wrong in the marriage state. But you and I, we don't have that opportunity. It is a hard stop. And I think you alluded to that that you know, when you have to grieve literally the loss of the life and the loss of the communication, it's not just the divorce.
Yeah, it's really tough.
When did you realize that you were ready to move on, like to date again after losing him?
Well, I mean I think.
All along I tried to do Wait you wait, I'm sorry, I have to interrupt. You were divorced, faith, how long before he died?
But oh, plenty of time. But this is odd because you guys are going to think I'm crazy. But so we divorced, and we divorced in two thousand and five. I didn't really find anyone to care about until two thousand and nine. In two thousand and nine, I had a boyfriend for close to three years who I really fell in love with, and we were together for three years, and then when we ended, I just really will say I didn't ever find anybody I cared deeply for after that. So I dated a little bit, you know, I dabbled. There was one guy that I really thought I could fall in love with, and then he cheated on me two weeks later after we decided to be together. So that was like, really the last time, you know, I don't until the show.
Yeah, it was.
Well, I mean, here's the thing is, I quit the band because I was going to find love. And see, I gigged play music every weekend for thirty years, so I was like, Okay, if I really do want to find love, I have to show the universe. I'm ready, right, I got to take action. So I quit the band so I wouldn't be gigging every weekend. And then I started thinking about it and boom, all of a sudden, I'm on a bachelor. So the person in me kind of thought, Okay, there must be a reason why this happened. Could he really be my guy? So that's why I was so serious about it. And I'm a little envious. You gals had so much fun and had such a light of you know, fun going on, and I was just so doing serious about everything.
But I just we had fun because we had fun because Susan and I were in Gary's friend zone so quick.
Yeah, I mean we both went there to find love.
Yeah, but.
You had the best date.
I'll tell you that I had the belt date, and I had some fun and I had some great times.
What the show?
What The takeaway from the show for me was all the self reflection and learning and those aha moments where I went wow, things became so clear. It was on the show when I went, I need to quit one of my jobs.
I need to be less busy.
Yeah, yeah, I remember heard you. We talked about that on the show. You said you were going to go home and quit your teaching job.
Yep, and I did.
I did well, and I was a basket case when I got home, anyway.
So I called him. I was like, I'm no longer good for this job. I really needed to quit. Yeah.
I couldn't see the students not being distracted, you know, I could just hear them. We saw you make it out with a guy on a yacht. You know, it wouldn't it wouldn't have been good. I mean, it's a little humiliating to think you get your heart broke on national TV. And but you know, I got to tell you, I I kind of knew that I sealed my fate in that way, but I felt like my.
Intuition was leading me.
As much as I was in love with Gary, I don't know that I could have said no. And yet I wasn't absolutely sure it was right, you know, because I was all in. And then when I thought about leaving, well, when I thought about leaving.
Did you talk to a little bit?
Yeah, and on on my hometown.
I said, you need to know how important it is for me to be near my community, my family, my kids, my grandkids.
And the dead horse in the backyard.
Yes, but I needed I needed to have him know that I'm not a person that can see their kids like twice a year, you know.
But what's weird is that I think that if I was truly in love with someone, there is no amount of distance that would keep me away.
Right. So it was an intuitive sense that maybe maybe it's not all what I.
Think, right, It was something to die in something.
Yes, well but wait, but we've but we've had this conversation faith that doesn't have to be all or none.
You know.
If I'd fallen in love with Gary, I have two kids here and two grandkids here in Austin. But I would have gone and spent a week in the cornfields.
Oh, I would have spent I would have shared time. I would have spent six months whatever, you know, I would have done that. I just needed him to know. And I felt compelled at the time to tell him, I'm not going to be the play pickleball with you every weekend, and I'm going to be riding my horse and singing in my band and that will like all those Yeah, And I didn't want to just pick up and leave and live in Indiana or the rest of my life. That's what I was trying to tell him, so that we would have to share.
I don't think anyone so I'm not serious.
I don't think there's one of us who would have picked up our lives and moved to anywhere. I'm being serious, to any state and not and not have time with our families and our friends. There's I just don't think that would happen. Yeah, I have a question, since you clearly have great advice, what advice would you give the guys that are about to date Joan.
You know, the advice, honestly that I would give them is that you've got one chance to be as transparent as possible. Tell them the bad things about you, tell them the things that you think could be barriers, like.
Really, this is it?
I mean, get it all out there, find out if you're yeah, like there is I'm just unapologetically myself. I really don't know how to be any different, nor do I want to be. I just think it's important to be completely transparent so that you know, they get to know the real you.
But let's be honest, guys, it's not like it's not like a typical dating experience where you have hours you know, it's like, okay, here's your ten minutes go.
I mean you don't.
So it's I think to be to be your authentic anyone's authentic transparent self.
Uh, you know, it would be would be hard. It would be hard, I think.
Okay, but let me just really quickly address that, because I do think that even though there is a little bit of a time you're kind of it's not like you're casually dating some guy for a year. You're getting into the nitty gritty. I mean, you're really honing in, so you've already jumped past all these little superficial things if you play your cards right. But if you're not yourself and you're not really transparent, you're not really searching, and you're just worried about how you look on TV. You're going to waste all that time.
You know.
It's like if your one chance to be yourself, be it or you will regret it. I think, Okay, what was your question, Susan?
So if they decide to have a golden paradise, would you be in?
You know, I don't know.
It depends on where it is because I hate the heat. I had heat exhaustion. I love these warm but if it's super hot, I don't think I can handle because I'm really aphady.
She will not be moving to Florida with Auntasha.
If it's Yeah, but I mean I think I don't know. You know, something's got to have purpose and meaning for me. So unless there's a really good chance that maybe I'm going to find the man of my dreams, I really I've got this full life.
Well isn't that what the show is about?
Me? Well?
Yeah, but again, Susan, stop trying to talk her into it. If she doesn't go, it's one more for you and me. Stop already.
Don't you wish we could go on Jone's season to check out the men that might be on that show.
I've had business cards printed I'm going to drop them all over. If I get to go, there's going to be they're gonna be in the kitchen where you know, on the golf course, wherever, wherever, in the bathroom because that's where the guys will be. I'm going to serious, I got it all planned time.
Well, what they should do is they should take all the rejections, you know, from both seasons, and let us.
At least share the phone numbers for Heaven's sake or like.
Called Golden Paradise. Well is it?
But I mean, even without having it being on TV, can't we just all like have a little dating network, Like.
Remember Kathy, we said, give us the list of the applicants.
Let us see what the waiting we're still waiting.
At. I don't know, I don't know. I think about it.
What's the best piece of dating advice you ever received? Think about it for a minute, the best advice you've ever received, now that you're well, I.
Don't know that it's anything that I received, but I would How about what I wish I would have known a long time ago.
What nobody told you, Nobody gave me the abs.
No, just just something that I realized that when you're looking for a relationship instead of looking for what can this person be to me? How much am I in love with them? I think creating an environment where you think so highly and have so much respect, admiration, genuine care and love for this person that you want to support them in their life journey. Like, I just think that in relationships in general, people start going, well, this person has this and she'll do this, and he'll do this, or you know, we've got that spark, that chemistry. But but when you're really willing to because what is this union really about? It's really about supporting that other person in their life journey and helping them to be happy and grow and develop and be all they.
Can be and to be that.
Well and just wondering if they can really be do that for you as well. So it's really like a partnership where you're trying to help each other through life, and it's more about that than just the you know, whisked me off my feet and you.
Know, right, yeah, I think that's that's called that's called.
Well, it's just that's we're at a certain age where we know the value are important.
Yeah, instead of in my past, I always went for the chemistry. And that's because and and you know, well we know what it's because. But I mean in that for that reason, I always had, you know, very chemistry oriented type relationships, right, very little of anything else, you know, no, no real good substance except for my husband.
I would say that was more okay?
As our friend.
Do you have any specific dating advice for us?
Oh, my goodness, I heard you're dating too, by the way, Susan. Okay, well, any dating advice for you?
Yeah, have.
The utmost enough respect for yourself that you're willing to walk away from anyone.
That doesn't give you the respect that you deserve.
That's I think that's fabulous advice for both of us. But it's getting too serious here, Faith, Do you want to play a game?
All right?
It's a game.
You're gonna love it. It's a relationship. Would you rather game? Okay, so I'm gonna you're never.
Going to do fine? Faith, I was a teacher. Everyone gets an a.
No eating ice cream? No eating ice cream?
No, no, no, none of the never, none of that, none of that, all right? Would you rather tell your partner what you want and get the gift you want or have them surprise you with something of their choosing.
What would you rather?
That's the hard one.
If it were my husband and I would definitely tell them what I want.
But if it was.
Let's say, yeah, it kind of depends on how clued in the guy is or if it's just you know, absolutely doesn't know.
Yeah, but I do.
I like surprises, so and I think when you get a surprise, it kind of tells a little bit about how they perceive you.
So it's interesting to find that part out.
Very good point.
I love.
Okay, your date, be late, but look great, or on time and look dishoveled and.
Exhausted if the other person, if that date was your date, if my guy, okay, yeah.
Just shoveled it. Whatever is fine, be on time. Don't make me wait on you. I don't know anybody wait on.
Yeah.
Well again, these are all levels of lateness. If the guy's an hour late because he had to wash and fluff his hair and starts his shirt.
No thank you.
But you know, if he's if he's ten minutes late because he was out playing golf and he ran late and getting home getting in the shower, I mean.
You gotta be a little It depends on the circumstance exactly.
Yeah, yeah, all right.
How about this one, faith, would you rather be able to read your date's mind or have your date be able to read your mind?
I think I'd rather be able to read there.
Read my mind either way.
Well, you know, the funny thing is I am so readable. I cannot lie. I mean, stuff has written so well on my face.
I you know, I'll be in a situation somebody will immediately look at me and go, what what were you?
What just crossed your face? You know, I can't hide anything. I don't, I can't, so yeah, I have like a neon. So yeah, me too.
Well, I think I have to close my eyes because my eyes.
I want to be able to read my date's mind because I want to know what's going on besides, you know, air between the ears. I want to know what they're thinking, and I want to be able to have my thoughts like my thoughts.
Yeah, it feels so good to be understood. So it'd be nice to see that they understood us, you know, and to read their mind.
Okay, how about this one?
Be with someone who likes going out more or someone who likes staying in more.
Staying in I spent too much of my life in public. I just really am not going out person.
What about you, Susan, I'd have to say a little bit of both, you know me, I like to go out, but I like staying home.
Yeah, I like to go out a lot.
I love music, life, music and going to great restaurants, are going for a great hike. But why can't you do both on the same date?
Yeah?
Yeah, I think if I if I wasn't out so much doing music and playing. You know, it's like when I get a weekend, there time to stay home.
I really want to stay home, and I don't get to do it a lot.
But all right, so you're going to close you up on the couch. All right, here's the next one for you. Do you want to celebrate lots of little relationship milestones or one anniversary a year?
Lots of little one, lots of little ones.
Wait, we didn't say present, Susan, for every little anniversary.
Tell me why you still like each other. It's like, I know, for me, it's like I used to love.
When I was in love. I didn't have to be doing anything.
I was just excited to get home from work and sit out on the patio and dinner together and have.
A glass of wine and that. Yeah, it's just fun like that.
I get excited to spend time with the person and I love. It's just like we didn't have to be anywhere, we could be doing nothing, and that's the feeling that I miss, is like just that companion that it's like just jump in the car and go get a coffee. Let's you know, let's take just being together with somebody. Love is such a magical feeling, right.
So you're so so that you're saying, if I'm hearing you correctly, just celebrating uh day to day life as opposed to the contractual it's our first anniversary.

How would you like to date someone who's older than you or date someone who's younger?
Done both?
And I usually tend to go with older, but not too older nowadays, maybe just a few years younger. But you know, I've done my My old boyfriend was eight years younger than me, and he looked older. But you know, I think at this age I would I might feel pretty insecure. I don't think I could date a younger guy and know that they could have someone who's faith.
You're absolutely gorgeous. You could date a younger guy and you just fine. Girlfriend, I don't know what do you what would you? Would you date a guy younger?
It depends on the guy. It didn't matter to.
Me, and it depends on how young. That's Trueue, that's true.
I would love to date a guy, you know, who is four or five years younger than I, just because of my energy level and the things I like to do.
But you know what, girls, I like a man similar to my age because we come from the same error. We have histories that similar family things.

Five years? Is doable? Five years? All right?
Last last one for you? Your date?
Do you want your date be someone who only texts or who only calls?
