Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the almost famous podcast with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Almost famous to OG's Pebble Beach edition. I believe we
are calling this Golden's After Dark, Golden's Unleashed, Golden's Gone Wild,
Golden's Go Crazy. Oh my god, this is amazing. We're
gonna do a spin off the Golden's Gone Wild franchise.
I feel like we're Joe Francis reincarnated or something without
(00:25):
the perviness. But Gary Man, thank you, Gary Livingston. I
we've had you on the show before. It was an
absolute pleasure. You had my much better looking co host
Trista there that day. Don't get me wrong, his baby blues.
He is a sharp looking man, but yes he is Trista.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Think this thing's plugged in, Sorry, Trista.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
True story. Wow, it's great to have you back.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Thanks thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Now, have you been on a bunch of these like
Golden Adventures? Or is this the first one? You know?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
I stopped counting. I just go where I'm needed, wanted
or requested. Uh, this is not the first one, but
I sure hope it's not the last one because the
journey has been absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Oh my god, it's been fun, but you were such
a standout on the show too. Everybody loves you. You're
affiliated with your church back home. I know that. Yes,
trying to think of all the things I remember about
you from my last interview. Tina Turner's godson or yes, yes, yes,
gods godson. Yeah. So I had heard a thing about
Tina Turner once that I thought was pretty spectacular. I
(01:29):
had heard that every time you drive past an orange
and white barrel on the highway, that Tina Turner invested
in those barrels. Have you heard this story too, I've
never heard of that. Oh gosh. My dad told me
this day. He's like, you know, Tina Turner, and I'm
like really My dad was like, not, wonder necessarily make
things up, and he was like, yeah, apparently she took
some money from, you know, one of one of her
(01:49):
albums and invested them in making these orange barrels for
the road. And so every time you drive.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
What are you talking about, like the construction barrels, the
actual the big water tanks?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, the actual what do you call it that?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Who is doing this?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Satisfying? Okay, so.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
How much room is there on the edit room floor
for this nonsense? You're talking about this mess.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Look, I've heard of a lot of investments in particular
real estate she's done, but that's the first time i've
heard she's invested in some blocks with water.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
I want you to check it out with your family.
Let's get back on track here. Thanks, Thanks Andrew, that's
why he's here. Keep us guys focused. And yeah, like
those orange and white barrels in the frameway, I'll keep
you on the lane there. I'm going to be like,
he needs to get paid.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
As much as the rumor was that she made billions off.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I wouldn't doubt it. I mean they're every place, especially
in the city where the off and on ramps are
so to turn.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
So should we start do the intro one more time?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Now that we've got all.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
His bully, I think this is going spectacular. Goodness gracious,
all right, So let's let's touch base real quick. So
you were on, of course Joanes season. Yes you come on.
How do you end up on the show? My wife
actually told me I had to ask this question of everyone.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
You know, it's an interesting question, and I fought it,
and I fought it. One of the casting directors came
to my church and I go, are you new and
I'm like, I'm Gary. She says, I'm sure one of
the assistant casting directors. I said, I will escort you
(03:35):
to your seats. As i'm escuating he or she hands
me this paper that says Golden Bachelorette application. I go,
I'm not doing that. I had no idea, but I said,
I'm too private. I'm I'm very personal. I'm very private person.
I'm not going to do that. But over the course
(03:55):
of the next three months or so, we befriended each
other and so we became good friends. And I was
supporting her on one of the casting calls and I
saw some of the guys that were going up on stage,
and I thought, this is not going too well this.
I gotta go up and at least help her with
(04:17):
what she's trying to accomplish here. And that's get some
guys for the show, not intending to be one of
the guys. And the next day they go, you're number
one in the running. We're going to push you through.
We really like you. We got to get you ready
for the executive producers. The it's just like this world
win up. Things start happening, and that's and that's that's
(04:39):
how it happened.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
And the power of yes once again, right being willing
to say yes to something that was kind of crazy.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
See what happens when you're a nice guy and you
try to help someone out. Yeah, and SATs.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
But I think that that the people that end up
on the show that don't intend to be on the
show right there by by circu stance, by you know,
a little bit of luck or fate or whatever else,
and don't have any preconceived notions of it, I think
end up not only being the most authentic, which is
(05:11):
one thing, but having the most maybe personal experience on
it as well, because again, it's just like it either
you could take.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
It or leave it.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
It's not something you're sought after and desired absolutely, and
so you go in there with no expectations and I
think the outcome just becomes so authentic, which is what
I think drives the audience and the experience for everybody.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
And you know, it's an interesting point you make because
for me it was more of a spiritual journey. Joan
was beautiful and it was, but it was more of
a spiritual journey for me, and so I was very
comfortable being the man that I am not the man
that I used to be, which was protect guard, don't
(05:54):
let your walls down to I don't really care anymore
if I get emotional, to get emotional if I feel vulnerable,
only if I feel safe. I'm going to do that
because we're human, right, and so when we can be
comfortable in our own skin, being who we are, it
was it was easy. And so that's what came out.
And I'm I'm really happy to see that the edits
(06:18):
came out to be just that, which was you know,
he's he's a nice guy and and I haven't heard anything.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I will tell you, so you know, that's one of
the things I was going to say to you is
I always used to say the same thing you're saying
right now, like, oh, I was just a you know,
the better actor of really good editing, right, but you know,
to be truthful, I mean, and talking to you in
the past as I have, and you know we've even
mentioned you know, you popped in to make sure everything
was cool for guy to commit. You know, you're just
a thoughtful and I think that kind of that that
(06:49):
that kind of I don't know how to say it,
but it predicates you know, you entering a room like, oh,
I love this guy, and you walk in it's energy
and you know, I mean, you've had such great positive feedback.
Your son, Blake's gotten great positive feedback. By the way,
I didn't. I don't know if I shared that with you, but.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I amen, there you go. I love it.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I love it. But I mean you've gotten so many
wonderful things as a result of that show. More so,
I guess because there's maybe just a little more of
a of an eye on you, right.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And it's interesting again the Coachella Valley
where I live in Palm Desert in me. I I'm
not sure if it's the hair thing or if it's
but I get noticed everywhere I go now. But it's
all good and fun, even though I'm keeping things in perspective.
(07:38):
But it is a lot of fun as a result
of the show. So yeah, it's been it's been a
great run.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
So you talked about being like being vulnerable. Was there
a moment that you remember in your experience, whether it
was on the show or after the show, or maybe
the cameras weren't even rolling, where you had that vulnerable
moment that that broke you.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Yeah, it was it was the first night when they
rolled the television out and they had our kids say
we miss you, good luck and all of that, and
my daughter came on with my grandson, and it hit
me because up to that point we had been sequestered.
(08:18):
There was no phones, there was no internet. I hadn't
talked to anyone, and my daughter and I talk twice
a day every day. So when I saw that, it
hit me. And that was probably the most vulnerable for
me that I can recall. And it was a very
touching moment because my grandson, who's who's on the spectrum
(08:45):
of autism, right and to see him say hello, pop
pop and and by and I love you, and it
was just a very very powerful moment.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Man.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
It really was so that.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
And that's one of those moments too that I think people,
you know, you they always say the power of television, right,
like if you're if you're genuine, it shows through. And
I think, you know, that's why people loved this cast
so much. And we talked about age appropriate casting, which
was something that I thought was a big value of
this show because I was I was, I was worried,
especially on Gary's season when he was a bachelor. I
(09:34):
was worried they were going to have, you know, a
slew of you know, age appropriate women and they were
going to throw in a couple forty year olds to
just piss people off, right, because that's just you know,
what you come to know with the show over the year. Right.
And then when the guys come on and it's the
same thing. It's age appropriate casting. It's everybody's this guy
that you would love if they were in your hometown. Absolutely,
(09:55):
you know, yeah, they've had experiences that have led them
to be available now and they get back out there.
How do you feel after being on the show about
getting back out there and about putting yourself out there?
Speaker 4 (10:05):
From a dating perspective, it's added a level of confidence.
It's allowed me to be a little more selective. I
shouldn't say a little. It's allowed me to be more selective.
It's allowed me to say that's not what I want
and not waste anyone's time with just trying to figure
out if that's what I want. I have a list
(10:26):
of things that I want and I'm sticking to that
and I'm not afraid of running from those things. So
it's at a layer of confidence in my world of
I'm not going to settle for just having fun. I
really am looking for a wife and proud of that.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
So I think one of the things that Bob and
I can both relate to is that even though the
outcome for both of us wasn't happily ever after, it
was such an introspective learning experience because you're in that
moment and you're like, yeah, yeah, when you're talking about it,
you're answering those questions and you were you know, you're
being vulnerable and you are putting yourself out. You're also
(11:06):
asking yourself a lot of questions about what it is
that you want that makes you happy. And I felt
like I came out of it and I was I
wasn't a different person, but I had like I'd answered
a bunch of questions that probably were hanging otherwise, Yes,
and it narrowed my focus of what I wanted for
myself and a partner and family and life and all
those sorts of things. Did you learn things about yourself
through it?
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Totally? You know, the younger Gary probably wouldn't be able
to answer that with a straight face, yep. But the
man that I am today, it did allow me to
to really go deep and to say I know what
I want now and I'm not afraid of that, and
(11:50):
it is what it is. But I'm comfortable being again
in my skin. Whether you like me or not, but
you know, I'm comfortable in my own skin, and I'm
happy with the questions that I have for my next person, whoever,
whoever that might be.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
And you've almost been kind of like kind of metaphorically
stripped down where you're like, listen, this is I'm so vulnerable.
Now you've seen all of it, and now like you know,
I'm it's almost like going a breaks down that like
being embarrassed or anxious, and you're like, you've already seen
it all. You've seen the worst, the best, everything, and
and this is you know, this is kind of my passage.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah, here's the here's the new package. Yeah new, but
the improved.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Yeah, totally, totally, totally. Again, A big piece of it
is when we reach a certain point in our lives
and I've got a lot of rubber on the road
that that has met the road, right. I've had some
great experiences. I've traveled globally and had a chance to
(12:55):
do it at a very high level of of of loyalty,
you know, with my godmother another uncle who was in
the music business. My other uncle was with the La
Dodgers for seventeen years. So I grew up in Dodger Stadium,
right and I'm sitting next to these Hall of famers.
(13:15):
But as a little guy, they're just like you and
I talking right now, not realizing until you get older
and you're like, that was Don Drysdale, Oh my gosh,
that was Sandy Kofax, or that was you know, Willie
Davis or whoever. So now with that behind me, I
(13:36):
think it's helped me to also remain grounded and being
the man that I am. And I'm so happy to
have been on this journey and to still be on
it and now sharing it with with with everyone.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah, so I love it.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

you were on, of course Joanes season. Yes you come on.
How do you end up on the show? My wife
actually told me I had to ask this question of everyone.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
You know, it's an interesting question, and I fought it,
and I fought it. One of the casting directors came

I'm like, I'm Gary. She says, I'm sure one of

Speaker 4 (05:31):
And you know, it's an interesting point you make because

And I'm I'm really happy to see that the edits
(06:18):
came out to be just that, which was you know,
he's he's a nice guy and and I haven't heard anything.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I will tell you, so you know, that's one of

wonderful things as a result of that show. More so,
I guess because there's maybe just a little more of

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And it's interesting again the Coachella Valley

not sure if it's the hair thing or if it's
but I get noticed everywhere I go now. But it's
all good and fun, even though I'm keeping things in perspective.
(07:38):
But it is a lot of fun as a result
of the show. So yeah, it's been it's been a
great run.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
So you talked about being like being vulnerable. Was there
a moment that you remember in your experience, whether it
was on the show or after the show, or maybe
the cameras weren't even rolling, where you had that vulnerable
moment that that broke you.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Yeah, it was it was the first night when they
rolled the television out and they had our kids say
we miss you, good luck and all of that, and
my daughter came on with my grandson, and it hit
me because up to that point we had been sequestered.
(08:18):
There was no phones, there was no internet. I hadn't
talked to anyone, and my daughter and I talk twice
a day every day. So when I saw that, it
hit me. And that was probably the most vulnerable for
me that I can recall. And it was a very
touching moment because my grandson, who's who's on the spectrum
(08:45):
of autism, right and to see him say hello, pop
pop and and by and I love you, and it
was just a very very powerful moment.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Man.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
It really was so that.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
And that's one of those moments too that I think people,
you know, you they always say the power of television, right,
like if you're if you're genuine, it shows through. And
I think, you know, that's why people loved this cast
so much. And we talked about age appropriate casting, which
was something that I thought was a big value of
this show because I was I was, I was worried,
especially on Gary's season when he was a bachelor. I
(09:34):
was worried they were going to have, you know, a
slew of you know, age appropriate women and they were
going to throw in a couple forty year olds to
just piss people off, right, because that's just you know,
what you come to know with the show over the year. Right.
And then when the guys come on and it's the
same thing. It's age appropriate casting. It's everybody's this guy
that you would love if they were in your hometown. Absolutely,
(09:55):
you know, yeah, they've had experiences that have led them
to be available now and they get back out there.
How do you feel after being on the show about
getting back out there and about putting yourself out there?
Speaker 4 (10:05):
From a dating perspective, it's added a level of confidence.
It's allowed me to be a little more selective. I
shouldn't say a little. It's allowed me to be more selective.
It's allowed me to say that's not what I want
and not waste anyone's time with just trying to figure
out if that's what I want. I have a list
(10:26):
of things that I want and I'm sticking to that
and I'm not afraid of running from those things. So
it's at a layer of confidence in my world of
I'm not going to settle for just having fun. I
really am looking for a wife and proud of that.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
So I think one of the things that Bob and
I can both relate to is that even though the
outcome for both of us wasn't happily ever after, it
was such an introspective learning experience because you're in that
moment and you're like, yeah, yeah, when you're talking about it,
you're answering those questions and you were you know, you're
being vulnerable and you are putting yourself out. You're also
(11:06):
asking yourself a lot of questions about what it is
that you want that makes you happy. And I felt
like I came out of it and I was I
wasn't a different person, but I had like I'd answered
a bunch of questions that probably were hanging otherwise, Yes,
and it narrowed my focus of what I wanted for
myself and a partner and family and life and all
those sorts of things. Did you learn things about yourself
through it?
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Totally? You know, the younger Gary probably wouldn't be able
to answer that with a straight face, yep. But the
man that I am today, it did allow me to
to really go deep and to say I know what
I want now and I'm not afraid of that, and
(11:50):
it is what it is. But I'm comfortable being again
in my skin. Whether you like me or not, but
you know, I'm comfortable in my own skin, and I'm
happy with the questions that I have for my next person, whoever,
whoever that might be.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
And you've almost been kind of like kind of metaphorically
stripped down where you're like, listen, this is I'm so vulnerable.
Now you've seen all of it, and now like you know,
I'm it's almost like going a breaks down that like
being embarrassed or anxious, and you're like, you've already seen
it all. You've seen the worst, the best, everything, and
and this is you know, this is kind of my passage.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah, here's the here's the new package. Yeah new, but
the improved.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Yeah, totally, totally, totally. Again, A big piece of it
is when we reach a certain point in our lives
and I've got a lot of rubber on the road
that that has met the road, right. I've had some
great experiences. I've traveled globally and had a chance to
(12:55):
do it at a very high level of of of loyalty,
you know, with my godmother another uncle who was in
the music business. My other uncle was with the La
Dodgers for seventeen years. So I grew up in Dodger Stadium,
right and I'm sitting next to these Hall of famers.
(13:15):
But as a little guy, they're just like you and
I talking right now, not realizing until you get older
and you're like, that was Don Drysdale, Oh my gosh,
that was Sandy Kofax, or that was you know, Willie
Davis or whoever. So now with that behind me, I
(13:36):
think it's helped me to also remain grounded and being
the man that I am. And I'm so happy to
have been on this journey and to still be on
it and now sharing it with with with everyone.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah, so I love it.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
