Yes. Yes. She's so darling. She's great and she's beautiful. And what is her name? And her name is London? London. The name's London.

You named her after my visit. I love that. I did. I did that. Okay. I thought you'd appreciate that. Tell us what was it like seeing her for the first time. Did it bring back so many memories, right?

Oh, because, you know, I work for Freddie Freeman, who plays for the Dodgers, and he has three boys. So adding a little girl to the mix is, it's just having daughters myself. It was, I'm so overjoyed about it. Are you out buying a lot of pink, Carol? Yes. Yes. And I'm wearing pink in celebration. We're feeling that.

But she is named after London. Chelsea grew, her parents are both British as well. And then it's named Freddie, Freddie lost his mom when he was 10. So he is, it's London, Rosemary, Joy, Freeman. So Rosemary Joy was Freddie's mother's. name. I love it. I love it. I mean, having a girl in the family, you'll go broke, number one. Yeah. Everywhere you go, it's so easy to see girl things. It just catches your eye and they're so adorable. That's why I'm still working. Yes. I may or may not have been at Liberty of London today buying some cute little dresses for my grandda.

So, all right, I want to know, how much do you get to see of this new gorgeous. just grandniece. Are you taking care of her? Are you a babysitter? I'm not taking care of her, but I see her almost every day because I work for Freddie. So I'm in the house, so I'll see her. And yeah, we've got some construction going on. So I kind of lead that. And because she needs new closet already. I love it. Did you get the baby hangings yet? I mean, you know when you're two weeks old and you need a new bigger closet? There's just the shoes. How old is this little munchkin right now? Two weeks. And she needs a new closet?

Yes. You're in trouble. Okay. I'm just getting my new closet right now, by the way. All right. So before we go any further, tell me about your closet. Yes, please. Okay.

I'm redoing my whole bathroom and closet. And everyone always lasts because I've been talking about it for years. And I've got to get my bathroom done. I'm finally doing it. I'm finally doing it. Because I did the girls' bathrooms first in my. house because I had their bathrooms done first and then so I just no one sees my bathroom so I thought I'll just do a lot so well let I just tell you nothing compares to

Kathy has the ultimate bathroom slash an extra entire room for a closet it could be a nursery I mean I've never seen anything so huge I need to see pictures okay I need I need some inspirational pictures it even has French doors okay wait let me wait let me just say, guys, that I am also doing a remodel with my home, and it has put me over the edge that I had to go across the pond to get away from it. Okay. So, remodeling. I saw you were starting your kitchen. I saw that. Oh, that the kitchen's done. Your old kitchen even. I'm like, well, that's, that's impressive because I can't wait to see your new one. Well, no, the kitchen was already redone. The only thing I did in the kitchen was because your kitchen is like spending. I'm like, okay, wait, what? Okay. I'll take all your

step. I don't use the kitchen. I just need a microwave. But I put hardwoods upstairs. It's been a nightmare, a new floor. That's what I'm doing. Oh, literally. I left town, left town saying, please God, have this finish to my contractor. Please have my furniture back in my bedroom when I get home. So I'm not thinking about it. I'm riding the London eye. I'm going to pubs. I'm not thinking about the remodel. That's the perfect thing not to think about while you're on vacation. That's not good. Okay. I have a,

I was trying out. All right, Carol, I want to know because inquiring minds do want to know before we get to lots of other questions. Okay. Are you dating anybody right now? Because I heard you were. You did? I did.

We want the tea. We want the tea now. Look at that smile. Well, not really. I've been on some dates, but they weren't, you know, they're just okay. So, yeah, I'm not dating anyone right now, but I'm thinking. thinking about going on a date with a certain someone. Okay.

Tell us about them. And how'd you meet them? Well, I've known them for a while. Oh, these are the ones that work. Yeah. So we'll see. We'll see. You've been friends, right?

Friends. Oh. It's the older, younger, married, divorce? She's younger. That's okay. I've dated. You know what? Do you know Mel is the first person that was that age that I never dated a

before. Well, if we're being clear, you really didn't date him either. He had this whole thing about dater. I'm like, you know, we can do that. You fit that though. Okay, so wait, does he divorce? Does he have kids? Does he live near you? Divorced. So we'll see. We'll see. What made you decide? And I won't impress too much. But if you've known him for a long time, okay, or sometime anyhow, what made you switch to? maybe we should go out in a different light. You know what? Some of the other ladies on the show who date a lot, which I don't date a lot,

they kind of talked to me into saying, you know what, we date a lot, trust me. There's not a lot of people to pick from out there. We are, raise your hand, Susan. We are seconding that thought.

We are right there. And so they kind of, Amy actually kind of talked me into, and Jerry. Did he ask you out? Did he ask you out? Yes. Yes.

But I'm out of nowhere. I'm trying to understand your friends for a long time. You don't see each other all the time. And then poof, he calls you and asks you for a real date. Yes, because I saw him out and about. Ah, we ran into each other. Come on, we got to dig it out of her. I ran.

And so. We'll see. He's handsome. He was an athlete. Not a professional, like college level. But that's okay. He likes everything. We like sports. He likes shopping. He likes shopping. He likes following me around shopping. So that's even better. Do you get, if he pays for it, it's even better. Paying the bills even better by lunch after. And he's really, he's really nice. So we'll see. Carol, do not throw a good one. You know what? This is the weird thing. I really didn't want to date right now. I know that sounds weird because everyone's always...

No, it doesn't. You know, I work more than full time. I work more than full time. My girls, my daughters still keep me busy. I have two daughters that are pretty young still. My youngest is a professional tennis player. So I want to travel with her when she's playing the French Open. I want to go to Paris.

So I want to like, you know, I still want to travel with. her and then my other daughter is in Orange County. So I have I'm having fun with them. How old are they? I have a 28 year old and a 25 year old. Okay. And how old is the tennis player? 25 or 20? She's 25. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So she's um she's on the road a lot and she's she got injured at the Australian Open. So she's been off the court for a while, but she's going back in three weeks. And I just look at my calendar. When, when can I go? When I'm definitely to do the U.S. open, but there's other things I want to go to. You must think if this guy turns out to be a great guy, and I'm going to tell you some

earth shattering news. Are you ready? You can take him with you to the French Open. You can take him with him to the Australia. You can take him with you to the New York long, whatever it's called. Okay. And he could take you and pick you up from the airport. I know.

Okay, now that's what I like. I hate getting an Uber from an airport. I like being picked up. I would never pick anybody up in L.A. Here's the thing, it's hard to bring someone into that world because I'll go and I'll see coaches and I'll see, you know, people on tennis. And, you know, I just want to talk to and be in my world, right? And then it's like, oh, this is, I just, I like to go off and be on my life. I know, but if he's a confident man, he'll do his thing.

That's true. Yeah. Carol, stop looking for excuses and get on with the statement. I know. Everyone says that because my first excuse was I'm going to wait till my bathrooms remodeled.

What's the news, name? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there.

but this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers.

This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey Jonas, and then I wrote down on my little notepad Hey Jonas and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.

But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Jim Gaffigan to Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman, help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and headwriter, Streeter Seidel.

The yard birds, right? That's the name. The Harvard yard, but they're open to change. Do you have a name suggestion? We're open. Since you guys are middle aged. One erection. Listen to you.

humor me with Robert Smygel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Humor me! I need some jokes to make me seem funny. Keith Giamonka seemed like a mild-mannered suburban dad, but secretly, he became someone else, a master of disguise who went on a crime spree. At the time, did it seem like a crazy idea? It seemed very crazy. But, But I felt so desperate that I felt it was the quickest, easiest way out. Did you allow yourself to think about how it could go wrong and what that might look like? No, I didn't want to manifest that. I was trying to manifest success.

Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. This is going to change my life and my family dynamic forever because everything that had existed prior in my reality is now untrue. Listen to Deep Cover the Family Man on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast a slight change of plans,

a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Can I tell you something, Carol, when I came off the show, and Kathy as well, I believe, we weren't interested in dating either. It was so refreshing to feel like you're secure and good with yourself.

Yes, isn't it? And I think that show did that for. me. I mean, I know a lot of people go, oh, it made me want to get out on date. But for me, I was always codependent. Like, I didn't get divorced for a long time because I'm like, oh my gosh, I don't want to be one of those people who's divorce and are they lonely? Oh, my gosh, that's scary. I always thought, oh, it's so scary. Yeah. Now it's like, it's amazing. It's empowering. Yes, it is. It's fun. You love it. And I don't want to put that on divorce. I want to stay married out there. For Susan and me, we always talk about, you know, neither one of us were

very interested in Jerry. Nice guy. I just called him Jerry. That's been, it's been three years. Gary. Gary. But I will say for us, the really great thing was the friendships we made. Yes. How has that been for you? Did you make a lot of really tight friends on the show? I did. I did. And that's been the best thing for me as well. Because I don't know about you guys, but all my girlfriends that I moved to in the fourth grade from Canada. I still have the same friends that I met. We went through junior high and high school. We're still friends today. We get together three times a year. We're really close-knit. I felt so blessed to have them, but they're all married. And it's different. So to go on the show and to find single women that still have worry about

mortgage, your investment, you know, if I get hurt, if I can't work anymore, what do I do? You know, they all have the same issues that I've been. had but can't really share them with anyone because they don't understand. Some of them don't even know electricity bill is. You know, so it's hard. So it would stress me out like, oh my gosh, I'm the only one in this position. So meeting them on the show, I have to tell you, I never slept so well in those bunk beds. Yes. In the bunk beds. Because meeting women that had in this stage of my life, in this season, all what we had in common was really comforting to me. And I, these girlfriends are, I love them.

Like we're really, we're best friends. We get it. Look at us. Right. And so I talk to Amy every day. She's great. I talk to Jerry every day. I talk to Robin a lot.

I talk to Cindy maybe every couple weeks. Yeah. And then some of the other, I've, I've been texting back and forth with Peg. So, I mean, but my real close friends are like the girls. that I was shared a room with. And that was me, Robin, and Jerry. And we had the best time. And all the ladies were great on the show.

I mean, I didn't share rooms with them all. But the ones you shared rooms with, you talk at night. Yeah. You bond. We bonded. And because we had the fun room, I have to say. Did you have the big room? I didn't sleep.

I didn't sleep for however long I was there. We were up like, and I'm early break. So I would get up still early, but we'd go to bed at two or three in the morning. Yeah. Same thing that the hall monitors would come in and say, you've got to stop talking and go to sleep. And it got so bad that they just came in and partied with us. She would be like lights out. And we said, just because you turn out the lights doesn't mean we're going to shut up.

I mean. Yeah. Yeah. And you know what's so. Exactly. And you know it's so funny. So there was a quiet room, right, with some of the other ladies in it. And they put a sign, the quiet room.

And I was like, thank Jesus. Because you know how you're assigned rooms, right? I was like, if they, if that was me, no one would have liked me in there. Because I, I get up early. I'm not quiet. I want to talk at night. And so they would yell down the hallway, be quiet. Wow.

Yeah. Well, but I really get close to whoever's in your room. You know what I mean? Because you have that. And six o'clock in the morning having coffee with somebody. You know their daily routine. I think Carol, you're so right. We all, at least on our show, we all came looking for love, hoping to find love.

Obviously, only one person was going to end up. But for us, the friendships that still exist today, that people always write us and say, are you guys really good friends? Yes, we really are. And that, to me, is the best gift. Aside from meeting all the wonderful producers and, you know, all the things we've gotten to do. It's those relationships that really are amazing. It is. I agree. It's almost like, you know, when you get divorced, you have your children. That's the best thing that came out of the

marriage. And it's like the best thing about the show was the friendships. The girlfriends. But you know what? The world should hear that because it's all about love, okay? Just because you didn't end up with the lead, with the man, doesn't mean you didn't find love and friendship. Right. That was our biggest platform, Kathy and I, telling women, just because you're 60 or up, doesn't mean life is over. Yeah. Get up off the sofa. Live your best life.

Yeah. Put the lipstick off. In your case, Carol, date your friends. Go back to high school friends. I went to an all-girls school. That's not going to help me unless I switch teams. And this is the thing. I feel like something.

was released in me from that show. Yes. It's like you're born again. I wish everyone could experience what we experienced. I feel like a revival went on inside of me. I do. And the Carol that was a little girl, I found again. I found again, like the real me.

And I'm having, I think that's why I haven't dated. I'm having such a good time rediscovering myself. Yeah, I love this. And I don't want to sound like, oh, so, blah, blah, well, like new agey. I'm not that person. Okay. Because I'm still like,

I like doing things for others. But I, there is something about getting to know yourself again. Yeah. And I think that's what I took away from the show because these ladies help me. I mean, they really did. And the show.

They didn't even know they were. No. No. And how crazy is it that I didn't pick that room? I remember seeing Robin for the first time. I thought, oh, boy, she's like, she's really strong and I was a little put back by her and then when she was when she was in the room oh robinson my room I don't know I don't know how this

and it's so great I he's lovely one of my best friends I really think the Lord put me in that in on that show and in that room that it was not a mistake it was all for a reason is a reason we are glad everything yeah we are glad I want to just pivot back I'm We are right there with you, Carol. We love the... It's the best part. Best part of it. But I want to just pet it back for a minute because I'm Boston Red Sox fan, not an L.A. Dodgers fan. So, you know, I don't know where the World Series is going to be.

And, you know, maybe L.A. will be in it and maybe Red Sox will. But I know that your nephew is a famous, you know, player. I want to know how that is for you because he's family, but he's also... So tell me a little bit about that, like what it is you do? Do you manage his, his profession? What do you do? Well, my job's changed over the years. I worked for him for eight years when he worked, when he played, well, he was kind of

working. He, when he played for the Atlanta Braves. And that's when I, I got separated in 2018. And I knew I was, you know, things were going to probably progress. And he said, hey, do you want to come? My brother, who's Freddy's dad, said, hey, do you want to go help up? Freddie, you know, just kind of manage things. And I'm like, sure, he had only one child at this point. And I said, I'll go out for a season. And it was only June. So a lot of the season was over.

And so I went from June. I said, okay, I'm just going to work the season because I'm going to just take a little hiatus for my other job and I'll go do this. So I what exactly did you do? Did you do? I'm sorry for. I work for Chanel, the fragrance division. Yeah. And so and I work in cosmetics and fragrance my whole life. That's my background. So I thought, yeah, I'll try this because I knew I needed to do something else. I thought maybe just getting out of Orange County and going to Atlanta. So I worked for him.

And he asked, after the season, he goes, what can I do to get you back? I'm like, I just can't because the hours are crazy. I mean, weren't you married to a baseball player? Oh, yes. That's my life. You know, it's crazy hours. there's there's it's it's it's a lot i'm not i wasn't even not young back then and i'm you know the two three in the morning then getting up and you know what do you what do you do carol for i mean

you can't throw the pitches or you know tag the guy out at first well okay so for example he had a gardener that was charging him too much and doing a terrible job so i had to let him go and then fire a new garden so you took over yes i i had you know a chef that could cook you know when the chef he had he's gaining weight is probably not a very good chef I thought so. So I had like little things like that. I would do like anything in the house. He is a huge home.

He had a huge home in Atlanta. So it was like taking care of a building. You know, there's always things that need. There's always things breaking. There's always things need to be done. So you were running the house. I was running the house. Anything personal assistant like dry cleaning.

Got it. So personal assistant. Anything for her like getting makeup or just anything. Grocery shopping. Anything personal assistant. That's I guess what I. All right. That's fair.

And when did he get. And now I got it. When did he come back to L.A.? Three years ago. Three years ago, yeah. It was 2021. Oh, 2022. Sorry, 2022.

Tell us something about Freddie that the fans, nobody gets to see. That only you. Let's see. Oh, I do a lot of things, but, you know. I will tell you this. He is, well, the fans probably know this. He's very generous. Hmm.

Does he funny? Does he joke? Is he serious at home? Like, is he moody? Okay. Well, during season, it's a little more serious. Okay. Um, I can't talk to him about his game in the car on the way home.

Okay. Oh, so you drive him to and from the games? I used to. I used to drop him off in Atlanta because we were only 15 months away. And one time I said, don't make a friend. I feel like I was dropping up my child at school. Yeah, I would drop off sometimes. Is it hard to manage?

He is a professional athlete. He is very successful. How do you manage being family, but also managing him? Is that difficult to walk that line? Yeah, it is hard because I could be there 24-7. I'm a workaholic anyway in my old job. And this is even worse because I shouldn't say worse. That's not very good wording. No, not worse.

It's more. Busier. Busier. Because your family, because your family, you care more. And so I'll, I do anything, everything he wants to me to. I do whatever it takes to get, to try to take off stress from he and his wife and children. So whatever it takes to make, especially during baseball season, to make their more calm, that's what I do. Like if it's vendors coming in here or this or getting, you know, a new cool guy. or this or this. I try not to let him know about it.

I just do it. You're amazing. Like I hire and I. I would be good at that job. Yeah. You would. Both of you would. Yeah, we would because we're organized.

Wait, Carol, I want to know, do you shop, little tidbit here, do you shop for his wife's Christmas gifts or anniversary gifts? I have picked up things. She'll never, don't ask her that on there. Like all of a sudden he'll say, he says, he says to me, Okay, last year was the best because he said to me, there's going to be a package arriving. And he goes, so just make sure Chelsea doesn't see it. And I'm like, okay, so the package comes and she's at the door with me.

And Freddie was there too. So it came up the same time. And I kind of just gone by there. And I grabbed another pack. So I'm like, oh, here's it. She didn't see it. And Freddie just looks at me and he's like, so that was, that was good. So, yeah, he's really good.

He shops on his own. I love, this guy sounds perfect. No, he's a great guy. He's a great guy. You know, he lost his mom when he was 10. So I think he really appreciates life a little bit differently than a lot of young men. You know, he's a good guy. He really is.

What is one of your proudest moments of him, of watching him? Okay. Not last year, but the year before when he hit the walk-off brand slam. Ooh. Against the New York Yankees. Ooh. And this is funny because we were. We're shooting a netflix show.

Okay? So we're all miced up. And they came to Dodger Stadium and they're doing a show on the Freeman's and the Bets and Mookie Bets, like both because it's funny because Freddie, we have, he has a lot of family working for him and so does Mookie Bets. So it's kind of a funny. They've always wanted to do a show, but Freddie won't do it. They, you know, but he did this documentary.

But so anyway, so we're doing this documentary. Freddie was having a bad game. So we thought we're going to go. up to the owner suite that night. We took off our mics. We demiked ourselves. I didn't even know how, you know, after going on this show, you know how they're freaking out about them.

I'm ripping it off. I didn't know they're expensive. So we go up to the suite. And so he's coming up to bat. Okay? And so we're not miced. So anyway, so we're up there. And we go up there and Freddie's up to bat.

Well, two weeks earlier gets the Met series. Freddie struck out and he was the last out. So I was just praying, Laura, just don't let him, just get a hit. I know the feeling. Because it wasn't the, it was the game one of the World Series. Okay. If he doesn't get a hit tonight, I just get him a hit. So he gets up, he hits it.

Now, Freddie is not a showboater guy at all. He holds up his bat. The ball is not out yet. He holds up his bat straight up in the air like lightning, right? I'm like, oh my gosh. and the bases were loaded. I said, this is going to go out because there's no way he would ever do that.

There's no way. It goes out, Grand Slam. First ever, ever Grand Slam. Oh, wow. In the World Series. It was in the ninth, it was, it was, it was, it was unbelievable. It was, it was great. So, all right.

Well, I got to say, Carol, you, you are clearly, a woman who is well organized, who keeps Freddie on the straight and narrow. So we're going to go move into our segment called Golden Hotline.

We have some big news.

What's the news, name? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts.

Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was...

This is how you guys remember it going down. Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an acapella band with their between songs banter. There's the worst singer in the group.

The worst? Yeah. Me. Is there anything to the idea that because you're from Harvard, you only got in because your parents made a huge donation. The group. The yarn herds, right? That's the name. The Harvard Yard.

They're open. Do you have a name suggestion? We're open. Since you guys are middle aged, one erection. Listen to humor me with Robert Smygel and Friends on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Humor me. I need some jokes to make me seem funny. You can have opinions.

You can have like a strong stance. and then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationship. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes.

Listen to a slight change of plans on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Keith Giamonka seemed like a mild-mannered suburban dad, but secretly, he became someone else, a master of disguise who went on a crime spree. At the time, did it seem like a crazy idea? It seemed very crazy. But I felt so desperate that I felt it was the quickest, easiest way out. Did you allow yourself to think about how it could go wrong and what that might look like? No.

I didn't want to manifest that. I was trying to manifest success. Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life. That is not the look of an innocent man. This is going to change my life and my family dynamic forever because everything that had existed prior in my reality is now untrue.

Listen to Deep Cover the Family Man on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. The first one is from Marissa in Columbus. Okay. She says, I've been dating this guy for about five months, and we're not officially in a relationship yet, but we act like we are in every way. Recently, I noticed he still follows a bunch of girls he used to hook up with and actively likes their photos. When I asked him about it, he said I was overthinking and that it doesn't mean anything.

But it still bothers me, though. am I being insecure or is this disrespectful? First of all, I like to know how old she is. I don't know. That would explain a lot. Yeah, it's done. Right? You're saying done?

Show him. Get rid of them. Yep. I'm with you, Carol. I'm with you. In my mind, Susan, it doesn't matter. Why did you ask that? Who cares how long?

They've been going out with a guy for five months. and he follows girls. He used to date and likes their photos. Okay, I have a question for both of you then. And not a player like Freddie. He's a player. No, I have a question for both of you. So say you follow people or whatever and you decide you're going into a relationship.

You're starting to date somebody. Do you think that I need to go unfollow? Maybe that's not even like. Guys that you used to date? Yes. Yes. And five months and they're acting like they're in a relationship. Okay, unless it's, you know, if he wants to follow women like, you know, an old school teacher.

Nobody he holds up with them. But no, no. But he's always followed them. He's just liking their photos. No. No. And that's weird. Any guy that's into someone else liking a woman's photos.

Exactly. And by the way, Susan, just to. pound this little give you a home run on this one. Do you like? I'm just going to use that metaphor that we're going to use metaphor of baseball. I like it, Kathy. Thank you, Carol. Just in case, you know, you, you're about to strike out on this one because he said she was overreacting and it doesn't mean anything. You know what I'd be saying? Hey, John Boy, if it doesn't mean anything, ex-a-a-law. No, he's having his cake. He said she was overthinking. Yeah. I don't like that. That, to me, is a big flag.

Disparagery. You're up, buddy. If there's any argument. The ladies have spoken. Yes. Marissa. Sorry, Marissa. But you could do better.

Bye, Marissa. You caps like Carol. I see I knew she can give great advice. Okay, everyone, that's all for part one with Carol. Stay tuned for part two coming out tomorrow. Bye. Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers.
