Susan (0:07)

Welcome back, everyone, to Golden Hour, and you know I'm Susan, and guess who else is here.

Kathy (0:12)

I'm Kathy. I wouldn't miss this day for all the tea in China.

Susan (0:17)

I'm telling you.

Kathy (0:18)

Maybe for a few diamonds. For a few diamonds, I'd be out of here, but not for tea. How have you been?

I'm good.

Susan (0:24)

I'm good. I'm enjoying life, of course, and that Bachelor Nation Cruise is getting closer and closer.

Kathy (0:30)

I cannot wait. I need a tan. I never thought I'd say that.

Susan (0:36)

Oh my God. With number 100 sunscreens.

Kathy (0:40)

You know what? Skin cancer is a thing.

Susan (0:43)

You're exactly right.

Kathy (0:44)

You're exactly right. Well, we love each other, and we both have great lives here. God knows. But we have a special guest this week that I really want to get to. This week, we are talking to Golden Bachelor alum and first impression rose recipient, Gerri. Welcome to the pod, Gerri. How are you?

Gerri Flowers (1:05)

I am awesome. I am so good. And I think what makes it so special is Wednesday is my birthday, so I'm ready to celebrate.

Kathy (1:14)

Happy. How old are you going to be?

Gerri Flowers (1:17)

Do I really want to say, ladies?

Kathy (1:19)

Age is a number, but forget it. You don't need to.

Susan (1:21)

Let's just say this, Gerri, you're not 69, so with that.

Gerri Flowers (1:28)

I feel 69, but I'm not. Well, I had my 60s.

Susan (1:32)

Happy birthday.

Kathy (1:33)

Happy birthday.

Susan (1:35)

Happy birthday. Let's start first things first.

Are you dating? Since the show, what has your life been like?

Gerri Flowers (1:44)

First of all, my life has changed tremendously since the show.

Susan (1:48)

I'm not surprised.

Gerri Flowers (1:49)

I think the biggest thing, I know everyone, are you dating, Gerri?

Susan (1:54)

Are you dating?

Gerri Flowers (1:55)

I have to say no. I am not dating.

Susan (2:00)

Okay.

SPEAKER_4 (2:00)

Tell us why.

Kathy (2:02)

Yeah, by choice, why?

Gerri Flowers (2:04)

No, I would say it's by choice. I mean, I haven't really been approached. No one's approached me.

Susan (2:09)

Do you know anybody, ladies? Wait, do you remember everybody asked us, and we were going to ask you what we're not?

Oh, your DMs. I don't think men our age know even how to DM a person. I think women on the men's season, they get, you know what I mean? Yes. Now, the men on the woman's season, women know how to do this stuff. So that is probably part of it.

Gerri Flowers (2:34)

Right, right, right.

Susan (2:36)

So are you on dating sites or anything like that?

Gerri Flowers (2:40)

I'm really not. I mean, being a CEO and owner, if I read my email, I've had a great day.

Kathy (2:48)

Tell us what you do, what your day looks like, tell us what you do. 2026, what are you up to?

Gerri Flowers (2:56)

Okay, well, I am the CEO and owner of Comfort Home Care. I provide care to my senior saints in their own, non-skilled, family-owned. So when I make a decision, I don't have to go to the corporate ladder. I am the corporate and I can say we can do this. And I love that.

Susan (3:13)

I love, love that.

Gerri Flowers (3:15)

And my day starts at 4.3 in the morning and I go to about eight, nine o'clock at night, you know?

Susan (3:21)

You don't have time to date.

Gerri Flowers (3:25)

Well, Susan, don't go crazy. If someone came kind of my way, I probably would be like, okay.

SPEAKER_4 (3:30)

I make time.

Susan (3:31)

I'd have that person cover that shift.

Kathy (3:33)

Oh yeah, yeah.

Gerri Flowers (3:34)

I would, as the owner, I do have about 14 people that are phenomenal and under me, so they can handle that while I go on a nice little date.

Susan (3:43)

Yes, they can.

Gerri Flowers (3:43)

Or two, or three.

Kathy (3:46)

So Gerri, tell me if, you said you're not dating and it sounds like your life is incredibly busy, so it would be tough to carve out enough time, but having done the show, is there, or your birthday's coming, tell me how it's different. How would you date differently? What would your intention be? Are you looking for a different kind of guy? If you found that guy, what would he be like?

Gerri Flowers (4:16)

Basically, I am definitely looking for someone who loves life. I know that sounds so cliche.

Susan (4:23)
