This is an I-Heart podcast.

Hey there, folks, and welcome to I Do Part 2.

And if you got Love right the first time around, this podcast ain't the one for you.

Because this podcast is for folks who gave it a second try, third, even fourth sometime.

Your hosts include it. And welcome to this episode sitting alongside my partner, Amy Robach, here with T.J. Holmes. And our guest today,

Robes, is somebody that I, I would argue, is probably, he has probably has a resume that he

could host this show. we can recruit him to be

one of our hosts of this show absolutely because we are talking with the original the OG

golden bachelor Gary Turner he has a new book that is out now called golden years what I've
