More Golden Bachelor talk. So talked about it a couple weeks ago when we found out that Gary’s book is coming out. And he alluded to some things and we had, we were talking to, she’s all batch that week, and they had just done an interview with Theresa and they got an updated statement from Theresa regarding what Gary said and teased what was coming out of his book.
Well, one of the excerpts from his book was released yesterday through ew.com, and the book comes out, I believe, on Wednesday. Actually. It comes out today. So the book comes out today and he released an excerpt. To one of the chapters that he wrote to ew.com. I would suggest going to this article and reading it for yourself.
I, I don’t wanna read the whole chapter ’cause it’s too long. I’ll give us an opsis as best as I can, but it’s too long and just go to ew.com or just Google. Gary Turner details Grim honeymoon with Theresa nist. I guarantee it’ll lead you right to that article. Anyway, in this article he talked about after they got married on January 4th, they had to immediately leave each other two days later, and the next time he saw her was, I believe, I could be wrong on the date, but like January 11th and he drove to New Jersey where she lived?
Yeah. January 11th he was driving to see his now wife. And apparently he had never seen her place before. He drove 14 hours to Shrewsbury New Jersey on January 11th. I’m just kind of skimming the article and what he wrote, and this is. From the exact excerpt from his book he’s talking about, he was surprised at the size of her one story house, basically saying it wasn’t as big as he thought it would be.
And then there wasn’t a lot of room in the master bedroom where space was a premium. He put his belongings in her office, which was short steps from the bedroom. He felt like a trespasser. Another surprise, her stove was her vanity. She used her flat stove top as her makeup counter because one, she didn’t cook much.
Two, the lighting was better because the range was next to a window, and three, there was more space to spread out than in the bathroom. He gets very detailed and very petty about this trip that he took, and the bottom line is, he says on the first night that he was there that there wasn’t gonna be physical intimacy.
Just wasn’t happening. And his, and at his first night at her house, she took out the sheets and pillows before telling me, tomorrow’s a big workday. I need a good night’s sleep. Do you mind sleeping on the sofa? And he said, yeah, no problem. And then he just went on to say. That things for that whole trip was kind of tense.
They didn’t really talk about things and definitely no physical intimacy for those three days. And the other thing that he told was a story about how he was wearing. They were set to go out to dinner one night. She was ready to leave, and Theresa looked at him and said, oh, you’re not wearing that. Let’s go over to Lululemon and grab you something better.
He said, I was wearing jeans and an expensive REI shirt, but it was plaid, which maybe she thought looked unsophisticated. I really didn’t want to get bent outta shape over this, even though I wondered why I had driven 14 hours to sleep alone and have my wardrobe criticized. So I tried to turn my frown upside down by taking self selfies of us in the dressing room and later posting on Instagram about what a great time we’d had.
Truthfully, however, I realized I could never embrace the east coast lifestyle. Well, ew posted this whole excerpt and then asked Theresa sent it to Theresa so she could read it and provide us. Provide them with her response to what Jerry wrote in that excerpt, and basically, again, this is a, he said, she said, because Theresa’s like her exact quote was, I’m not sure if Gary has a faulty memory, or he just wanted a more dramatic story for his book.
Here’s what really happened. We did s, we slept together the first night in my very small bed. After my husband passed away, I moved outta the master bedroom into a smaller bedroom with a full sized bed, and turned the master bedroom into an office, which coincides what Gary said. Oh, wow. Her bedroom was really small, wasn’t a lot of space for my stuff.
Well, that’s because she moved into a smaller room after her dad, her dad, after her husband died. That first night of Gary’s visit, I didn’t sleep at all because I had been sleeping alone for nine years and sharing a bed takes some time. Getting used to, in the morning, Gary asked me how I slept. I told him I hadn’t slept at all.
He offered to sleep on the couch. Going forward, I was extremely grateful and said, I promise that when you come back, I will have a king-sized bed all set up in the master bedroom for us. After that visit. They both put their money together. She went and ordered a king size bed. Her daughter came over, helped her set up.
They would send Gary photos of the progress of the Kingsize bed going into her room. Susan Knowles and Peggy from her season actually saw it when they came to visit her, and she said Gary never came back again. So that’s where she’s like, look, he’s not giving you the full end of the story. This is exactly what happened.
So I’m just saying I tend to believe Theresa more because this guy is selling, trying to sell books and he’s gotta make it for more dramatic. He says, the first day I got there, she tells me to sleep on the sofa. She’s saying, no, we did sleep in the same bed on the first night, but it took a little for me getting used to, because I had slept alone for nine years.
And she said, regarding the Lululemon story, again, he’s not telling the full story, she said the Lululemon story. Someone from Lululemon contacted them, said, Hey, come to our store. We’ll get Gary a shirt. She said he tried it on, she said she liked it. He asked me if I thought he thought I should buy. She if.
He asked me if I thought he should buy it, and I said, yes, you look great in it, and he bought it. He was grateful for my encouragement because said in the past, he’s always hesitated to buy things that he knew he should have. As for the shirt he was wearing before our dinner, that was an entirely separate occasion where I gently suggested he wears something different because the restaurant was upscale, something any good wife or partner would do.
These were entirely two separate stories that Gary decided to combine together for effect. So again. I guess it just comes down to who you choose to believe. Again, for me, for a guy who’s trying to sell a book, what Theresa responded to in the excerpt that she was given from Gary’s book seems to be a little more accurate than what Gary said.
Gary seems to have a memory that isn’t great. Combining things that may or may not have happened to just tell a story like, look. Let’s be honest. The only two people that know the exact truth about this are Gary and Theresa. He says, I went there for three days, never slept in the same bed with her. She’s like, no, you slept in the same bed with me the first night, the last two nights.
I asked, would you mind sleeping on the sofa? And you said no, because her bed was small. But after that trip, she said, I will get a king-sized bed, and then next time you’re here, we’re gonna move it in. We’re gonna have a bigger bed to sleep in. He never came back to New Jersey after that. Guess he had already made up his mind.
Well, that trip went horribly, so I guess we’re not on the same page. So this is what I mean. Look, do I think these two should have been married in the first place? No. They were rushed to the altar by the show because they had a wedding that was paid for. But I think Gary is out to sell books and I just tend to believe Theresa more.
I’m sorry. Think that her story makes sense. So again, if you wanna read the excerpt from his book and you wanna read Theresa’s direct response to that excerpt, go to Googling, just Google Entertainment Weekly. Gary Turner, details Grim Honeymoon with Theresa nist, and I guarantee it’ll be the first thing that pops up.
Okay. We’re definitely in back to the future mode right now because a couple more things came down yesterday that I wanna talk about. And I, I wanna also kind of lead you to, you know, the, the Patreon or whatever, but, ’cause we’re gonna, we’re gonna do this, there’s a couple more things, I guess more back to the future facts to give you number one.
If I were to ask you, and back to the future too, remember the scene where Marty goes to 2025, it’s not 20 25, 20 15, and he’s walking in downtown Hill Valley and the hologram of Jaws 19 pops out and he thinks he’s gonna get eaten. Remember that whole scene? Now, I don’t remember if I’ve known this for years, but since I didn’t think about it every day, it was something I knew about at one time and then forgot, and then was re reminded of it.
Or what? I don’t remember. But do you know who directed Jaws? 19 because up on the marquee again. Again, one or two second shot. If you’re watching the movie, if you pause it when the Jaws hologram is coming outta the theater about to eat. Marty, if you pause it, you can see on the Marques it says, directed by Max Spielberg, Steven Spielberg directed back to the future.
Obviously he had a role in Back to the Future two and three. I don’t know if he directed two and three. I know he directed one, but he played a role probably maybe he was executive producer for those. But either way, max Spielberg is Steven Spielberg’s son, so he gave his son a shout out in the movie.
Don’t know if anybody knew that. I wanna say I did know that at one point, but this movie came out in 1989. I don’t think I knew it in 1989. I certainly didn’t look for it when I was watching the movie. Again, it’s something that’s up there for like a second or two, and you really have to pay attention.
But another fun fact about the movie, here’s another one. I’m sure you know this. I, I keep saying, I’m sure you know this, but only if you’re a diehard would you know this. If you saw the first movie, and if you’ve seen all three movies, you know that the woman who played his girlfriend in the first two movies, Jennifer Parker, was the character name.
The woman who played Jennifer Parker in one, was replaced by Elizabeth Shoe, who was in obviously a lot of good movies, karate Kid Cocktail, leaving Las Vegas Adventures and Babysitting, one of my all time favorite eighties movies. Anyway, Elizabeth Shoe was. Replaced. Replaced the Jennifer Parker. She was Jennifer Parker in Back to the Future Two and three because the actress who played Jennifer Parker in Back to the Future, her name is Claudia Wells.
Her mother was sick with cancer and she decided rather than sign on for Back to the Future two and three, she decided she made the decision she wanted to take care of her mother, which obviously we can’t fault her for, but. That woman, Claudia Wells is all over the back to the future, meet and greets. She appears at the conventions and stuff like that.
She’s Claudia Heinemann Wells on Instagram. You could find her on there. She always talks about the show she loves being a part of Back to the Future. But what’s interesting is she was not the first choice for to play Jennifer Parker. The first choice. And who was signed on to play? Jennifer Parker was Malo Harden.
Jan from the office. Now, Jan was replaced once. Eric Stoltz got replaced as Marty McFly because they didn’t want Marty’s girlfriend to be taller than him. And Malo Harden is taller than Michael J. Fox. And again, a lot of women in Hollywood are taller than Michael J. Fox, ’cause I believe he’s five five or five six.
But Malo Harden. Lost the role once Eric Stoltz lost the role. So Claudia Wells ended up getting the role of Jennifer Parker once they had to shit can Malore Harden because producers didn’t want Marty’s girlfriend to be taller than him. I got an email yesterday with a really cool story and, and I just want this person’s permission to tell this story tomorrow in relation to Back to the Future.
So hopefully they get back to me, but. I’ll just let you know that it, it made me feel like what I’ve done for the last week and a half actually meant something. So I hopefully can tell this story tomorrow and, oh yeah, I bought a floating DeLorean on eBay yesterday. That will be in the background of all my videos from now on because.
When I get in a back to the future mood, I kind of become unstoppable and I just, you know, like I said, been talking about it the last week and a half. Went and saw the movie this past weekend again, rewatched two and three over the weekend, not the full thing. I would fast forward and just look at certain scenes that I wanted to watch, but again bought a floating DeLorean off eBay.
You’ll see it once I get it. I should be getting it in a few days, but definitely when we do a back to the future rewatch on my Patreon that’s coming we, you will see it ’cause it will be prominently featured, I guarantee you that. I’ll make sure of it. But yeah, I, I just get in these moods. But anyway, I will let you know about the story tomorrow ’cause I feel a lot better.
Because I guarantee I’m, I’m sure there are some of you that are like, good God, Steve, stop talking about this movie. Stop telling us these facts that we don’t care about. I understand there’s probably some, I, I know there’s some of you that like it because you’ve responded to me and I appreciate you saying thank you for telling me this stuff.
I find it really interesting and some of you probably don’t care and I understand that, but again, it’s my podcast and I’m going to talk about what I wanna talk about. I, this isn’t, I mean, it’s positive stuff. I wanna keep it a little more upbeat and positive here. So, but I really hope I can share this story with you tomorrow when this person gets back to me.
So, anyway, let’s keep our fingers crossed for that. I thank you all for listening. I really appreciate it. Follow me on Apple Podcasts. Also, rate and review, but you gotta hit play. It’s the only way it counts as a download. Sports Daily coming up in an hour from now. If you wanna check that out again, thanks again for listening.
