I know Sharleen downplayed the significance of her appearance on the show, but she is the single most memorable contestant on the show in my opinion. I loved the episode.
My husband and I have a very magical NYC story as well. I felt pulled to NYC in a special way. Moved there not knowing anyone. We have four sons and have been married for over 23 years now. 💖💫 It was truly fate.
This was lovely! Another takeaway: don't underestimate the power of your story. 🌞💐 The two of you were quite self-deprecating about whether anyone would watch/listen. I did, and it brought a smile to a gloomy day!
Dear Sharleen and Andy, thank you for sharing your story, to be honest, I thought you're were reading a novel, I mean, you both are great/natural story teller and presenter... I loved the way you started it and the small details that made everything more intriguing, I loved it...Wow, you're a match made in heaven, aren't you? Cheers!!
I think this is like the 4th or 5th time I've rewatched this, however I can't help from getting drawn in and listening to this sweet story again each and every time CZcams starts automatically playing it when another video has ended. I'm so happy the stars aligned for you guys on this rainy night and you were able to find each other. I'm also so happy you started this podcast. Love you guys! 💗
My sweet dog Obi's health started to unexpectedly decline late last week. I made the difficult decision to put him down two days ago. It was just the 2 of us in our small apartment. Today is my first full day living alone without him in our home. I am watching this for the 3rd of 4th time since it aired and it is keeping my spirits up. Thank you Dear Shandy for providing comforting, feel-good, funny material. This loyal Shandy is getting by because of it. ♥️
I cannot even express how much I loved this!! I was smiling ear to ear the whole time!!! So glad you guys decided to make a podcast - I am SO EXCITED for the next episodes!!!
Differences between ziti and penne: - Ziti's ends are cut straight across, penne at an angle. - Ziti's sides are smooth, penne is ridged. - Ziti is what my mom made growing up, covered in sauce and cheese, big plate of comfort food. Penne is what we order in restaurants that need to distinguish themselves from mom's cooking, much more likely to be accompanied by a sauce in a foreign language.
This video made the episode even more enjoyable! Mics do sound a little fuzzy, but it doesn’t take away from the quality content you two are serving. I wouldn’t mind you guys casually chit chatting if choosing a topic becomes overwhelming. Your place makes it cozy so the conversation feels casual and comfortable. ✨
Thank you so much! And thank you for the sound feedback - I legit had no idea what I was doing when recording this first go, but the sound settings improve later on. A work in progress! 🙈 Thank you for your kind words. 😘
When I saw this young woman on the reality show, I was unsure where she was coming from. But turns out, she had intuition ten-fold. Here only to see how you turned out. Sounds good. I'm 65, and the love game is old, never changes. But the greatest thing here is that she never compromised and remained a lady (always in style, always memorable.)
This is one of the only you tube stations I partake in. I never watched the first episode until now. My husband and I watched it together. So very sweet. I am around Andy's age and my husband a little older and it brought smiles to both of our faces. Maybe someday you will interview us. I know we are not famous in anyway, except in our own minds, but we to have a wonderful love story and have been together just a little bit less time than you two. We also had pretty shitty relationships before and that has made this choice all the more obvious and special. To find. your beloved and to allow them in took having had some pretty bad mistakes in the past. I have really enjoyed listening to you both over the last year and grateful for your company as I clean the house, pay the bills, or rest on a Saturday morning. Sending love to you both. May your union continue to bring more love to the world than either one alone could create. Blessings. 💞
I'm a storyteller/writer at heart so of course, I stayed to the very end. Thank you for sharing all that, because I love hearing both perspectives about how couples I like and admire met. You guys made me laugh and my face hurts from smiling. The penne/ziti/rigatoni debate cracked me up. They're all cylindrical, hollow pasta, but penne (diagonal ends) and rigatoni (squared ends) are sturdier, ribbed pastas able to stand up to heavier sauces, while ziti is longer, thinner and smooth (straight ends). I think it has the most to do with texture and how the different sauces interact with the pasta, so it's a personal preference. Mangia!
Thank you Julianne! We weren't sure how this would be received (it's hard to know if it's actually interesting to anyone to just watch you chat in your kitchen 🙈) so this is nice to read. And I'm all about those ribbed tube pastas! That must be why clearly-inferior ziti fell through the cracks. :)
@@dearshandy You're welcome 😊 and I'm really looking forward to the next episode. I agree - ziti IS "clearly inferior," so give me ribbed pasta and a yummy sauce any day! Sweet dreams 🍝😴
I've been watching your channel for awhile now and just stumbled upon this video. I loved your story! Also, I love how you play off of one another. In regard to voices, when I was dating, I totally had a thing with voices. The first time my hubby called me I couldn't take the call and he left a voicemail. I was so glad that was the case as it gave me a chance to hear his voice. (We were set up by someone.) I later told him about my voice thing, and that if I hadn't liked his voice nothing would have happened. If you are going to hear a person's voice frequently, you want it to be pleasing to your senses. Thank you for sharing your story! It was so lovely and sweet!
I just found this today and I'm crying like a little girl! I'm almost 45 and I've never had that kind of magical experience and I am one of those "there are no coincidences" people. Beautiful 😍
So funny 😂! You guys are great storytellers! Imagine if the first (awkward) kiss had been in the smelly cab. The combination of the smell and awkward kiss might have changed history. Good call Andy!
@@dearshandy Sorry,to say this but marriage is a devine spiritual intervention from it is a social contract ,that is arranged by the people &entities, the gods behind the scenes....I did not expect life &love to be this way, alot of the time it is arranged by our ancestors.....I have to admit this....Their arrangements fit better in a bigger scale of life &death and it is more sustainable for our lives.....I am just a messenger,I share this with you (your followers,your readers,that s why we come here) ignorant naive people like me. Your relationship works and you are at service to the bigger society.....my love ones,you two in this case....Even beyond your death....I hope for many years together & a long healthy life....I know, it sounds very old fashion, but this is how it works around the globe...I understand, that it is highly requested....
I love ❤️ your love story and “meet cute”..!!! Been married 28 years and I still really adore 🥰 my own love story ...!! This pod cast reminded me to remember my own love 💕 story with my hubs !!! You guys are Darling..!!
Two years later and they are still putting smiles on people's faces. Watching this video is the most fun ive had this week. I feel like i experienced everything with them..and i thought a one hour video was long but ended up craving for more at the end😅
After that experience how can u still not believe in Fate? Destiny? Gods will? So meant to be!! U two are sooo cutimous!! Love the way y'all communicate. I don't see a lot of young couples that just click. I must say ur like a breath of fresh air. Thank u for showing the world that true love does still exist. Much Love.
Oh wow, this is precious!!! You guys are still so in love and I would LOVE more episodes on relationship advice. I think relationship advice coming from two people who are doing a good job at it is very valuable.
It was interesting to learn how Andy perceived your intimidation. I get told that a lot and most dates end with me being told my travel and career are intimidating, and I seem to be too much work. It is frustrating because I am not going to dumb myself down and I am not going to change. It was great to hear that the signs of your depth are what attracted him to you. I enjoyed this so much and it gives me hope in the unplanned. Can't wait to hear more, from a soon-to-be 34 single gal.
Dear Shandy - I finally found your story! I loved every moment and details - I'm a 'details girl'. I'm happy for you two and I really think you're a great couple. Keep going strong! I love you both! 🙂
This was so awesome to watch! Usually I prefer to listen to podcasts on iTunes, but something told me to watch on YT instead! I’m so hooked and can’t wait for more episodes! 👏🏻☺️🙌🏻
You were one of my favorite of all time bachelor contestants. You always kept it so real and it felt like you were normal and not falling for the bachelor complex. I just recently found dear shandy and love it. I've listened to a lot of different bachelor podcasts and yours if the best. I only listen to yours now. Love hearing about you and Andy lol
This made me cry. What a wonderful story. I've been following Sharleen for years on Pretty Panda and I don't know why it took me so long to listen to this, but I'm so glad I did! Thank you both for sharing
🤮 😉 💕💕Dear Shandy, I love this story and the way you both express your experiences and emotions and really narrate so well. I could watch your podcasts all day. Sometimes it amazes me how an hour passes by and I still want to hear more. This story about how you guys met I was able to watch it in my head. You guys are truly fortunate and I am grateful to have been in on the inside scoop of how you two met. Because I always wondered since it seems like a true match made in heaven/Earth. Sending much love. The only reason I put the 🤮 Emoji is because my stomach was full of butterflies listening to your sweet meeting story. Thank you for sharing.
This was weirdly entertaining! It’s now fricking midnight on a Wednesday but I was compelled to. Get. To. The. End. And guess what? I’m hooked. Going to bed with a smile.
Dear Sharleen and Andy, you both are just the sweetest people ever. I loved this from the beginning to the end. I was smiling the whole time, and laughing too at some points throughout your story. Love your podcast
Love your love story! It’s a very serendipitous non-filmed meet cute. I loved everything about this episode except for the spot on Andy’s shirt. That is my only critique. Can’t wait to watch more episodes!
Bahaha I was hoping no one would notice that! Proof we weren't sure anyone would ever see this. 🙈 I promise I'll be the stain police in the future! (And thank you for your kind words.)
The audio and video has improved so much since the first video! I drive a lot for work, since I found your podcast I've been bingeing the QA and Caller episodes! So cute and interesting to here your couple story after watching so many episodes of advice! Love Andy's describe of Sharleen's voice, can totally see it though - the perfect story telling voice, very steady and clear, and big part of why it's so nice having the podcast on (on top of the solid advice).
I love this so much - your humour and banter is so engaging and fun to watch. My boyfriend and I also met in March 2014, but our story isn't nearly as eventful 😂 thanks so much for sharing this!
Your story is adorable and so inspirational. I purposely waited till I got to know both of you better before watching this segment so that I could fully indulge in your indulgence. I am a divorced 43 yo and have been single and dating for a long time. I am surprised that I am still going. Watching this makes me want to do things I have never done or not want to do to see what might happen. I think many people would take the obstacles presented that night such as the rain or friend flaking to be a sign that there weren’t meant to go or do something. But your story made me think that the obstacles were tests of your perseverance to make sure you fully want/deserve the reward at the end. Thank you!
i absolutely adored this first episode. i can't wait to listen to more!! and thank you for uploading the video! i love podcasts even more when i can watch haha
I actually teared up. This was beauty-full. Real, funny, not hyped up. This gave me hope and loved hearing the details. Hope to hear the dinner date and the following dates after that.
Thank you so much for your brilliant podcast. Its more then a podcast its spiritual therapy. This lowers my blood pressure and brings the anxiety I feel to manageable levels. Sharleen was my favourite on her season. Some of the best content on the internet. High IQ podcast.
I know this was recorded a while ago, but I wanted to tell you, this never gets old. You two are so delightful. Thank you for allowing us into your home and sharing your beautiful love stories. Loved this!
Loved this! Excited for more. Loved the level of detail about how you met by the way! This was so great! Fascinating story!!!! I love how you both ping ponged back and forth on your perspectives at each time leading up to the meeting! It is a miracle Andy left the house lol!! I feel like this should be titled “journey to love” lol. You both persevered! Only thing is the sound sounded a little off. I want to hear more date stories from your relationship this was so fun!!! Maybe talking too close to the mics? vibrations in voices.
I discovered you through your BIP recaps, but your podcast as a whole is just amazing. I love the energy between you two. You know how to express your feelings, in a raw, no bullshit kinda way. I don't usually believe in soulmates, but.... that's exactly what you are. :) Amazing how the stars align sometimes. A force was driving you when everything was stopping you at the same time. And it's just, beautiful.
“Sex will get rid of a guy” omg I laughed at this Andy! I’ve seen it happen to friends who were totally cool, great girls who just wanted to get laid too. But some guys think their D is so good the girls will want to marry them. It’s nuts. I love you two, you are both so honest!
Maybe I didn't express this properly but he was totally not serious! We had already been joking back and forth about how he had no idea what I looked like. The joke landed with me-I thought it was hilarious.
Assuming something to do with race because he said something like "After I met you, now I'm really into half-Asians" with emphasis on the now. Just my guess.
Hi sharlene and andy! Just Watched the whole pOdcast and Really enjoyed you two! Your meeting is definitely serendipitous! Sharlene I’ve been following you since your days on the bachelor and have always looked up to you! I think you were and still are one of the most exotic and intelligent contestant they had to date. Being single myself i would love to hear you guys go in depth on the certain mindset you guys had before meeting eachother(andy said he was fresh out of a relationship )but what about yourself? I truly believe the person we are supposed to be with when we stop “looking”. Do you guys agree? looking forward to more podcasts..also would love to be on dear shandy as a guest One day 🙏🏽💘
Thank you for your kind words, Danna! This is great input for a future episode-the mindset we each had. This will come up, I'm sure Thanks for tuning in! ❤️
Just recently started listening to your bachelor recaps, which I have been loving. I stumbled on this video and I'm glad I got to hear your amazing story of how you two met. ❤️
I love that you question and challenge each other. I’ve always adored you Sharleen, I am so glad you found someone to share love & life with 💛 You make a great team.
Really enjoying your story, it is fun to see how you both interact with each other. I am from Sharleen’s hometown as well and happy to find your channel. I knew I was going to marry my husband when he spoke to me. Voice is important, I agree with Andy. I believe people found their significant others, when people were least expected. I called it, faith, which happened to me and my husband.
Have you all ever seen LA Story? I won’t give the details but there is a scene that encapsulates that feeling of being driven by forces beyond your control to go somewhere. Steve Martin stars in the movie.
Love this story ❤️ I’ve watched a few of your reactions about the Bachelor. This video just showed up on my CZcams suggestions. It’s a feel good story I enjoyed this.
I have a question for you, when you met in March 2014 wasn’t your season of The Bachelor with Juan Pablo airing at that time? Andy did not recognize you from TV? If he did not recognize you, did you mention that you were on TV at the time?
I know Sharleen downplayed the significance of her appearance on the show, but she is the single most memorable contestant on the show in my opinion. I loved the episode.
100% agree!!
I agree. The bachelor franchise did not deserve Sharleen. And lucky for us she joined the show that one time! Everyone else was fluff.
My husband and I have a very magical NYC story as well. I felt pulled to NYC in a special way. Moved there not knowing anyone. We have four sons and have been married for over 23 years now. 💖💫 It was truly fate.
This was lovely!
Another takeaway: don't underestimate the power of your story. 🌞💐 The two of you were quite self-deprecating about whether anyone would watch/listen. I did, and it brought a smile to a gloomy day!

“As beautiful as a human being can be” 🥰🥰🥰 loved it!!! And I agree Andy! She’s gorgeous inside and out!
Differences between ziti and penne:
- Ziti's ends are cut straight across, penne at an angle.

Actually loving the tangent about how women/men dress (or don't) for men vs. for women. Going to think about this more.
Ha! Glad you enjoyed it. There is real truth in the statement.
This video made the episode even more enjoyable! Mics do sound a little fuzzy, but it doesn’t take away from the quality content you two are serving. I wouldn’t mind you guys casually chit chatting if choosing a topic becomes overwhelming. Your place makes it cozy so the conversation feels casual and comfortable. ✨

It's like New York
is a character in your story...
very nice.
I just listened to this and thoroughly enjoyed hearing every last detail about how you met!

The penne/ziti/rigatoni debate cracked me up. They're all cylindrical, hollow pasta, but penne (diagonal ends) and rigatoni (squared ends) are sturdier, ribbed pastas able to stand up to heavier sauces, while ziti is longer, thinner and smooth (straight ends). I think it has the most to do with texture and how the different sauces interact with the pasta, so it's a personal preference. Mangia!
Thank you Julianne! We weren't sure how this would be received (it's hard to know if it's actually interesting to anyone to just watch you chat in your kitchen 🙈) so this is nice to read.
And I'm all about those ribbed tube pastas! That must be why clearly-inferior ziti fell through the cracks. :)

So funny 😂! You guys are great storytellers! Imagine if the first (awkward) kiss had been in the smelly cab. The combination of the smell and awkward kiss might have changed history. Good call Andy!

The way Andy looks at Sharleen. ❤️

Been watching you for a few months and had to scroll to this episode! Lovely couple
I love the details, really paints the scene! You two are so cute!! I 😊
I am totally getting 'How I Met Your Mother' vibes! Love it
Love that show! Thank you!

I can totally relate to that.

This IS serendipity ♥️
When serendipity combines with compatibility💯
'ziti connotes something delicious' said Andy---I love these 2 so much! The details are impeccable.
I love this episode and have watched it a few times. I went on a 2nd date this evening and felt like I needed to revisit haha
I actually teared up. This was beauty-full. Real, funny, not hyped up. This gave me hope and loved hearing the details. Hope to hear the dinner date and the following dates after that.
Thoroughly enjoyed every second of this & can't wait for more 💕. I didn't even want it to end I wanted to hear more 🤣. Love your love story ♥️

Loved this episode! Please continue to indulge us in detail. You are both excellent storytellers.
Such a lovely wonderful story - could almost be a movie. How amazing that these cool coincidences led you two to each other
This was so cute! ❤
I know this was recorded a while ago, but I wanted to tell you, this never gets old. You two are so delightful. Thank you for allowing us into your home and sharing your beautiful love stories. Loved this!
His voice reminds me of Howard Stern. Music to my ears!!
Okay the last 25 minutes of this discussion got VERY interesting & easier to listen too! :)
Amazing podcast found you from skin-deep even that episode with you both was amazing ❤
Loved this! Excited for more. Loved the level of detail about how you met by the way! This was so great! Fascinating story!!!! I love how you both ping ponged back and forth on your perspectives at each time leading up to the meeting! It is a miracle Andy left the house lol!! I feel like this should be titled “journey to love” lol. You both persevered! Only thing is the sound sounded a little off. I want to hear more date stories from your relationship this was so fun!!! Maybe talking too close to the mics? vibrations in voices.
What a great story and a (sort of) example of the "6 degrees of separation" theory!
I absolutely loved this story . I wasn't bored in the least and hope to hear more in the next episode
Sharleen! Your hubby is swoon!!! The way he talks is elegant
I discovered you through your BIP recaps, but your podcast as a whole is just amazing. I love the energy between you two. You know how to express your feelings, in a raw, no bullshit kinda way. I don't usually believe in soulmates, but.... that's exactly what you are. :)
Amazing how the stars align sometimes. A force was driving you when everything was stopping you at the same time.
And it's just, beautiful.
What a beautiful and heartfelt comment! Thank you so much. Your kind words made my day. We feel lucky every day to have found each other. 💛
Amazing, romantic story. I loved it!❤
“Sex will get rid of a guy” omg I laughed at this Andy! I’ve seen it happen to friends who were totally cool, great girls who just wanted to get laid too. But some guys think their D is so good the girls will want to marry them. It’s nuts. I love you two, you are both so honest!
This was great! Loved hearing your story! Also, thank you for bringing up “Sliding Doors”, that was an awesome movie!!❤️
Thank you! And yes, LOVED that movie and what it represented. It made a huge impact on me the first time I saw it.
Beautiful couple 🎄⛄🎄⛄🎄♥️♥️
And well done telling him no about removing the lipstick 🤣 I would have ran a mile!
Maybe I didn't express this properly but he was totally not serious! We had already been joking back and forth about how he had no idea what I looked like. The joke landed with me-I thought it was hilarious.
@@dearshandy Why would he have no idea what you looked like, tho? From the outfit, it was pretty sexy. I guess I'll never understand men.
The times i didn’t say something to someone I really wanted to say something to haunts me and keeps me up at night.
Loved it! Definitely believe in serendipity
I loved all the details that painted the beautiful picture of your meeting.
I need more content from you girl! Have been a fan for a long time :).
Per Wikipedia: "Ziti is similar to penne, but often has ends cut in a straight line versus diagonally." ;)
I loved your story!! 👍🏻 I subscribed from day one & cant wait for more episodes.
Not sure if you're willing to share, but I'm curious what Andy's type was prior to meeting you?
Assuming something to do with race because he said something like "After I met you, now I'm really into half-Asians" with emphasis on the now. Just my guess.
Yes! Please tell us
Hi sharlene and andy! Just Watched the whole pOdcast and Really enjoyed you two! Your meeting is definitely serendipitous! Sharlene I’ve been following you since your days on the bachelor and have always looked up to you! I think you were and still are one of the most exotic and intelligent contestant they had to date. Being single myself i would love to hear you guys go in depth on the certain mindset you guys had before meeting eachother(andy said he was fresh out of a relationship )but what about yourself? I truly believe the person we are supposed to be with when we stop “looking”. Do you guys agree? looking forward to more podcasts..also would love to be on dear shandy as a guest One day 🙏🏽💘
Thank you for your kind words, Danna! This is great input for a future episode-the mindset we each had. This will come up, I'm sure Thanks for tuning in! ❤️
Watched the whole thing and really enjoyed it
Just recently started listening to your bachelor recaps, which I have been loving. I stumbled on this video and I'm glad I got to hear your amazing story of how you two met. ❤️
I love that you question and challenge each other. I’ve always adored you Sharleen, I am so glad you found someone to share love & life with 💛 You make a great team.
Really enjoying your story, it is fun to see how you both interact with each other. I am from Sharleen’s hometown as well and happy to find your channel.
I knew I was going to marry my husband when he spoke to me. Voice is important, I agree with Andy.
I believe people found their significant others, when people were least expected. I called it, faith, which happened to me and my husband.
I'm with Sharleen: penne and rigatoni are better than ziti. Ziti isn't ribbed. Ribbing allows for more sauce sticking to the pasta.
Love, love your first meeting story, fascinating? ✨❤️😊
I loved every minute of this. Nothing self indulgent about this at all.
Aren't you guys the freaking cutest!
Have you all ever seen LA Story? I won’t give the details but there is a scene that encapsulates that feeling of being driven by forces beyond your control to go somewhere.
Steve Martin stars in the movie.
I passed on this episode the first time I saw it show up on my podcasts' app, but I enjoyed watching this video so much!
Love this story ❤️ I’ve watched a few of your reactions about the Bachelor. This video just showed up on my CZcams suggestions. It’s a feel good story I enjoyed this.
I’m so glad you two are finally doing this podcast! This was a nice listen and I can’t wait for more!
Listening today for second time,😊.. makes me want to move to NYC!
this made me tear up its so sweet. also i feel like andy is literally the older, male version of me lmao
Today I learned the word “dwam” 😄 thanks
Loved all of it and love your story!
You never showed the one-year anniversary picture!!! I met my husband of 16 years on Match in 2005. Loved your story. Love stories are wonderful.
I have a question for you, when you met in March 2014 wasn’t your season of The Bachelor with Juan Pablo airing at that time? Andy did not recognize you from TV? If he did not recognize you, did you mention that you were on TV at the time?
So darn cute!! I love ❤️ your podcast and you tube channel!!! Beautiful couple inside and out!!! 💙🦋❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹💯
