This is an IHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Hey guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? 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. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Tired and sick.

Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you. you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guide. 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 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 yard birds, right? That's the name. The Harvard Yard's, but they're open. Do you have a name suggestion?

We're open. Since you guys are middle age, one erection. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and friends on the I-Heart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. You love me.

I need some. Some jokes to make me seem funny. Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face. I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks, and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out.

There was a large chunk of my 20s that I, like, was just so wanting to, like, be out of that phase, out of my skin and I just like really regret not living in the present more. You don't need to have everything figured out right now. You just need to understand yourself a little bit better. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is.

Getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akela Hughes. And Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about. both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than they were to enslave people. Listen to Rebel Spirit season two on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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. Is everyone lying to me

about who they are. I felt such desperation. I felt it was what I had to do. Listen to Deep Cover the Family Man. On the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everyone. We're back with Part 2 with Carol. Let's get into it.

Okay, here's the next one. This one is from Chelsea in Atlanta. Maybe it's Freddie's wife. Tristan. Could it be? Okay, here. But we hope not given the question. Okay, I met someone, says Chelsea, through mutual friends, and we hit it off immediately.

The only issue is he lives about an hour and a half away. We've been making it work, but I've noticed I'm always the one willing to drive or adjust my schedule. He says he's busy with work. But part of me feels like if he really wanted to, he would. How do you navigate effort? a situation like this. Go ahead, Carol. Well,

I'm old-fashioned, guys. I think a man, if he loves you, he'll move mountains. I think if a guy really, he'll make it happen. I do. And of course, you have to, sometimes they can't, right?

You have to go, there's situations, for sure. But if it's consistently where she has to go that way, no. Yeah. And where he's saying he's busy, with work. You know, he's not busy with Chelsea? You. Exactly. Busy with work. What is he? Come on. Is he the United States? No. It's always me. Okay. So maybe she does have more time on her hands and her hours are more flexible. As long as he makes like makes a plan that on certain days or certain

weekends, he'll come to her. He's never come to her. He's never come to her. He's never come to her. He's never come to her. She makes all the effort. Ever? She said, we didn't make it work, but I noticed I'm always the one willing to drive or adjust my schedule. That is not, you know, we talk about Carol Red being compromised and blue being sacrificed and purple is compromised. She is blue. She's doing it all. She's sacrificing. Goodbye. Right. Yeah. So you tell her to do what's your suggestion. I'll tell you what I would tell her. Okay. The curb is going to be very full with men who are being kicked to it.

And what is your advice to her? I would say, Carol, what would you tell her to do? I mean, I got my own thoughts. What would you say, Carol? I would say, next time, say, you have to come to me and then see what he says. I would say, okay, I'm going to give me, I like you. But it seems like you're not making, you know. I'm doing other.

I'm doing other work. Communicate and say. exactly. That's the word I was looking for. But Chelsea, no, no, no, because what Chelsea needs to do is tell him what she's telling us. Chelsea, you need to tell your guy that you're making all that. And I'm guessing you're not, you're just resenting him. Yes, which is a bad thing. Because once that happens, bye, bye. So sit them, sit them down and tell them exactly how you feel and just say, it's just not working for me. I feel like I'm the one doing all the doing. And if you want me, like I want you, then you should be willing to do half of the doing.

Carol, do you think he wants her or not? No, I'm sorry. I mean, I'm kind of harsh. Men are spoiled and it's our fault. Yeah. Because we spoiled them for so long. No, it's their mother's fault. Men don't have to work as hard these days.

No. And the internet did not help. No, it did not. I agree wholeheartedly. All right, this one's from McKenna and she's from Denver. I've been seeing someone who is really sweet and consistent, but I recently found out he's never been in a serious relationship before. And he's in his mid-30s.

He says he just never found the right person. But it makes me nervous that he might not know how to be in a relationship. Is that something to be concerned about? Whoa, McKenna, you're overthinking it. He took his time, I think. Let him be. Oh, my God. What do you think, Carol?

I agree with Susan. I agree with Susan. I think that's a bonus. Guys, we have a home run here because I agree with both of you. Oh my gosh, all three of us. I think of it, what would you say, Carol, though, if he were 39 or 40? Would you have a different idea? You know what?

It depends what it did. Maybe he's just so career-focused. And if you don't find the right person, I don't think there's an age. I don't think there's an age limit. I think we look at people like, oh, they, like, if they, they've never been married or this. I don't find that that way. You know, some people don't want to have three marriages

and then married the wrong person. If that's what they are. I like, I don't mind that. And people, they say that was a red flag. We've talked about this before, Kathy. Like people that have never had children and want to get into a relationship and you have children, it's difficult because they don't know how to share themselves. They don't know how to give of themselves.

And they get upset with you because you know you, That's your duty, your mother. You know. Yeah. I mean, you do draw the line, but same thing. I think someone in their mid-30s, I think... He's still young. I think people are getting married later, dating later.

I don't see anything wrong with a guy in his mid-30s. And I would say to McKenna, if he is sweet and really sweet, you said, and consistent, enjoy the ride. Yeah. Mid-30s, he says he's just never found the right person. But he's seeing you. So maybe you're the right person. Shut the F up.

Enjoy the ride. All right. I agree. We want to know. Inquiring minds want to know. So let us know how this goes. And by the way, if you decide to get married, Susan is a wedding efficient. Yes, I will do that for you.

You're welcome, Susan. You're welcome. Thank you, Kathy. All right. Our last question is from Stephanie, who is from Hollywood. I went on a few dates, says Stephanie, with a guy who was super charming and fun. But I noticed that he made a few comments about a few comments about a. his ex that felt kind of harsh and bitter. He said she wasted his time and wasn't on his level.

It made me pause a bit, but I don't know if I'm reading too much into it. Is how someone talks about their ex a big deal? What do you think, Carol? Yes. I think it's a big deal. Big deal. That's a very plan for me. Especially because she's saying, I went on a few dates. Only a few dates and you're bashing the ex. You're the ass. Somebody needs to tell them, though. That's the problem. People will walk the other way, but somebody needs to tell him, you don't do this.

Kathy, didn't I tell you before we need to open a business and tell men how to write, how to make a profile, how to treat a woman on the first date, what not to talk about. Carol, you want to go in on a business with us? I'm all in. I'm in. Yeah, we can do a whole baseball thing. name, right? There we go. Yeah. Yeah. You what, hey, buddy, you want to get to first base with this girl? Here's what you do. Exactly. And you're not doing that. Base if you don't get to first base. Yeah, you're striking out. We're speaking like that. So don't be stupid. What did you tell your girls

when they were growing up and starting the date? Oh my gosh. How was your advice? Yeah. Well, you know what I did? That's why I put them in sports because we're too busy. Keep them busy. Because tennis, you're on the court for hours and hours and hours. So they didn't date They didn't date a lot in high school even. So I don't know. I will say my daughter played soccer in all the way through school and then played in college and now works in professional soccer. And you're absolutely right, Carol. Sports teaches it's not only it keeps them out of trouble.

It teaches them independence and being and feeling confident. All those things. I think sports are great for girls. And teamwork too. Being part of a team is very. Very important. We had baseball and dance. There's no eye and team.

But they still managed to date, my kids. Yes, they did. Yeah. And thank goodness my youngest daughter met her now husband at 19. So that was easy. And I liked them a lot. Yes. Yes.

My other two, they're still, you know, they've dated guys that I don't like. Wait, how many kids do you have, Carol? How many children? I have three girls. And what are their ages? 28? Okay. 25.

Yeah. 28 and 30. 30. Yeah. And they're all married or not? No, only one married. No, the oldest one? No, the oldest is married.

Oh, okay. The oldest is married. Yeah. No, the oldest is the tennis pro, right? No, the youngest is a tennis pro, but they all play tennis and D1. They're all D1. I raised three D1 athletes. Okay.

I told you guys. Yeah. Wow. Good on you. Were you an athlete, Carol? I was a wannabe athlete. A wannabe? Yeah.

I mean, I play tennis, but not at their level. You know how they say don't live through your children? I did. So did I, but you know what I did? I wanted to be Tracy Austin, okay? I wanted to be a professional tennis player. I made all three of my kids play piano because I always wanted to play piano and my mother wouldn't let me take lessons.

Can I tell you, two of my three kids had full ride offers at UT and for the music department. I mean, I was like you. Like, I wanted piano, so now you're playing. Yeah, you know. They all had, they all had full scholarship. So full scholarship. That's great. It was fantastic.

Yeah. And what made you pick tennis? Or did they like? Because I love tennis. Because she was a wannabe tennis player. So that's what you introduced them to not golf or baseball. Well, because I knew a little bit about tennis myself. So I thought I want tennis.

And you know what else swayed me? Because I thought, I thought. where do I want to be watching their sport on a field? You really thought about that. I want to be watching at a country club where there's nice bathrooms. What she didn't do, I can tell you, was ice hockey. She wasn't going to freeze in a rink. I can tell you that.

Oh, Carol, I have good news for you. My boys were very talented. It comes from their father, of course. He was a major league baseball player. And they took a walk on the wild side and ruined that career for them. But they were being scouted the whole bit. but I have one of my grandsons with that natural born talent. So Freddie will be retired by then.

He's only turning 15. We can still get to go to the baseball games in the World Series when he's playing. That's right. He just got a full scholarship for high school for a private Catholic high school. Oh, congrats to him. Yes. Yeah, Mason. All right.

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. And 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, for 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.

Do you tell. So, okay, this is kind of a funny story. So when we first came to the Dodger Stadium, you drive in, okay, and the player's lot is here, but you can't make a right. So you have to drive all the way around the stadium to get into the players' lot. right I'm like I'm not doing that I'm not doing that so the cars are coming this way so I would just drive and like make my way through there and people would be like flipping me off and stuff and going I'm like no why would I go all the way to the stadium when it's just literally right there 100 feet right so I did this the first two weeks he was there you think I'd want to my my P's and Q's because he was a new player there right no I'm not doing that so I go in I so I didn't get caught all of a sudden Freddie comes home he goes aunt Carol I'm like what he goes um the owners came to me and said, you can't be going that way.

You can't do that. He goes, like Persia doesn't do that. I said, well, maybe he should. So then, so then, this is what I did next time because I thought I better not go to the curving. So I see this motorcycle cop. And I'm like, I rode down the window.

And I said, hey, do you want to get some trouble today? He goes, sure. I'm like, okay. I said, can you? I said, I'm so late for the game. I was late, of course. I said, I'm so late and I'm Freddie Freeman's aunt. Could you just kind of lead me into that lot right there instead of me going all the way around?

So he did. So you put it on the lights and everything. Oh, no. Then I got in really big trouble. I was going to say. I was going to say, Carol, what part of that did you? What part of that lesson did you not learn? So then I got in really big trouble.

So now I do, I go all the way around. Even though I see it, I could walk. it. I have to go all the way around the stamp. So that was, that was one of this. That was, that was, that was when you take the Uber, get dropped off there and just walk through the gaze. I know. I should do that. So to all our listeners, I like my own car. What's that? To all our listeners, Carol breaks rules, gives really good advice. And now we're going to see how good you aren't playing games. Are you ready? Okay, let's do it. Okay, this one's called home run or strike out. Ooh, I like it. We're going to play a game where we could give Carol a scenario, and she's going to tell us whether it's a home run or a strikeout. Are you ready?

This is good. All right. Ready? All right. Okay. He texts you good morning every day, but never makes actual plans. Strike out. Strike out.

Amen. Amen. That is a swing and a miss three times. Yeah. All right. How about this was? Carol, are you impressed I know my baseball lingo there? Pardon?

I know. Are you impressed? I know my baseball. You know what? Kathy, I am. I like it. I could talk baseball all day. We could.

It could be a foul. That could have been a foul. And I'm going to really be able to see you guys. Okay. Here we go. All right. Here we go. A man brings grocery store flowers on a first date.

I could say it's a head. Not a home. run. That's nice. It's nice, but it's like, oh. That's all right. It was thought. But I wouldn't strike him out. I gave him a chance. He got a foul or he only made first base. Yeah. A single. He got hit by a pitch. Wait a minute, guys. It's not a double player, ain't? I think I've gotten some nice flowers from Man I've dated that they got beautiful. they bought the expensive arrangements at the grocery store. Yeah, instead of $10, they spent $19.

I appreciate flowers. I don't care where you get them. Okay. I like flowers. I think that's good. Listen, I'm just trying to get a date. If I get flowers on the date, I'm good. All right.

You need to come to L.A. You know what? Find me a job. I'm there. Really? No, wait a second. The next one, Susan, is posting thirst traps. And Susan doesn't know what that is.

No, I went right over it. Because what is it? Thanks for calling me on it on national. I didn't hear that. This is a girlfriend, okay? Okay. This is a thirst traps. Do you know what those are?

I don't. I'm not sure. It's where you're, I believe, I'm not 100% sure. I think it's when you post like sexy pictures that other people will look at. Yeah, it's like makes you thirst. A man doing it to you? A man doing it to you? Yes.

What do you mean? No, not to you. How old is this guy? Oh, geez. Carol, are they good? Is it Brad Pitt? Okay, back to the basics. It's a strikeout for me.

Is it a home run for you? I got a Google thirst traps. For me, it's a strikeout. That grosses me out. I don't even like to see the gym pictures. Like the guy in the gym, like posting his body. I'm like, ew. No.

For me personally, I'm sure some women like it. But that's it for me, for sure. Okay. Yeah. I don't want to see. Strike out. That's a thirst trap. I don't like them.

Stryke. Ew. Ew. No. Okay. You've been dating three months and he still won't define the relationship. Why does there have to be a title? I, I'm okay with that three months.

I'm okay. That doesn't bother me. I wouldn't call it a home run. No, not a home run. Maybe he got to second. Second. Yeah. I think second.

What do you think, Kathy? Well, I'm more concerned because, you know, I'm the grammarian who reads every word in these things. He still won't define the relationship. Suggests to me that this woman is pushing him to define the relationships. So I think she is striking out. I agree. I agree. Does it always have to have a title?

I'm saying she's pushing him to put a name on the relationship. And I think that's a mistake at three months. I think it, you know, at six months, it can be a mistake. I think the factor that she's pushing him makes her strike out. I'm not worried about him. All right, let's move on in the next one. Your adult child asks to move back home. indefinitely. What do you think, Carol? Home run or strikeout?

Their own child? Your own child? Your adult child asks you to move back home. But it's an indefinite. It's not like, hey, mom, can I stay a week? It's mom, can I move back indefinitely? What do you think, Carol? If that happened, I would have failed. No. It's a strikeout. Definitely. No, no. I love my children. I love my children. But indefinitely, no. Strike out, we all agree? Yeah. Yeah. God forbid. Oh, I want to see this one. Carol. Go ahead, Susan. Okay, a friend cancels last minute for the third time in a row. A friend or a dating guy? No, it just says a friend.

A friend? It could be a girlfriend. I have friends to do it all the time. Hmm. Three times? I don't know. A friend cancels last minute. That's the part that we need to hear.

Yes, minute. I don't like that. That's not very respectful of the other person's time. Yeah, exactly. I say strike out. Not that I don't want to be your friend, but I'm not going to ask you anymore. No. I have to tell you, can I just jump into with a little story?

My cousin does it. I have a friend who lives in Austin who invited me for dinner. And I was coming, I was recuperating from pneumonia, which I'm fine now, but this was, you know, three or four weeks ago. And I was recuperating. And she asked me if I wanted to go to dinner. And she's pretty bougie. And I said, you know, I'd be happy to go, but it's got to be early and it's got to be simple because I can't do the makeup and the clothes. and she was flying back into town

and she said, I get in at like quarter of four. I said, great, we'll go for an early dinner. Never heard from her. So I thought she'd gotten way late at the airport, missed her flight, whatever. And the next day, she called and we're talking and she said that some friends had called her when she landed and she went to dinner with them.

So I called her out. I said, you bested me. And she, not, it was even worse because the restaurant was five minutes from my house. So she didn't even say, and I know one of the women she was with. It's her friend, but I know her as well. And, and I, I got to tell you, it did not sit well with me. No, that's rude. You don't do that to friends.

That would hurt me. So never mind three times, you best me, you might not get another chance. I'm, I'm pretty harsh about that stuff. That's just rude. It's rude. And, you know, she could have called and said, hey, come join us. And what's worse is I was ready to go. I'd put on a little bit of makeup.

I'd gotten dressed. Did you try to reach out to her? No, because she said, I will call you as soon as I land and we'll pick a casual place. So when she didn't call, I just stupidly assumed she hadn't land and was stuck in an airport because that happens a lot these days. Anyway, just thought I would throw that in that to me. That was definitely a strikeout. Iheart radio is throwing it back.

Home run! Love. Love. That's what I'm trying to do. Yes. We all are. Right? Yeah, we love that. Look at us. Look at us, ladies. Would you ever think that you'd be hosting a podcast in your 60s? No. Not at all. Years ago? Is this so fantastic?

It's fantastic because people get to hear us, too. And our damn opinions. Well, and you know what? And you're good at it. You're good at it. So that's even better. I love it. I enjoy your show. I really do. Just to let you know. Little side-down. Thank you. I think this is a, you know, a PSA for all people out there. Men and women over the age of 60. It's never too late. You can do it. Never too late. You know what? You'll have no regrets. Give it your all. All right. Here's the next one. Sliding into someone's DMs after a few glasses of wine. And this is a tricky one, Carol, because are you the, are you, if you're doing it, are you striking out or are you hitting a home run?

I've done that. I've done that. I have too. I think wine gives you courage. It's just a couple glasses. Yeah, I've done that. I've done that. Nothing wrong with it. I know, I know.

I'm just sad. And you know what? I don't know. It, I thought it was kind of fun at the time, but I was like, what did I do? I think it depends. Everything sounds good at that point, right? I mean, in my case, it might be a bottle or two of wine to get me to do it.

But I think, you know what they're leaving out here? I think it could be a home run because if it's someone that you want, like this guy that you may or not, you know, if you show some interest, that might have given you the courage to do it, Carol, to reach out to him. Yeah.

That could be a home run. But if you're reaching out to someone who, you know, broke up with you or whatever and you're feeling, then that might be a big time strikeout. Yeah. Well, how about this one? Did you ever? And it's been around for 100 years since we had cell phones. And they're breaking up with you.

You're sad, right? And you send a text that wasn't meant for them. But I've done that too. I did the worst thing ever. Tell us, Carol, what did you do? I did the worst thing ever. What? It was one of my first dates, right?

And no. And I text Chelsea, Freddie's wife. And I said, he's not that great a kisser. And you'd send it to him? I sent it to him. What did you do? What did you say? And then I looked down, I'm like, oh, my gosh.

Now you can get it back fast. And I was like, no, yeah. But at the time, no. No. It was the worst thing. I was like, oh, my gosh, what did I do? So I said, oh, just kidding. I just said, I'm like, I'm just trying to give you a hard time.

You know, like, I'm just trying to ruffle your feathers a little. Did you have another date? Carol, did you have another date, Carol? It was, I'm like, I shouldn't, I shouldn't be allowed to have a phone. No, no, not after a date. No, never again. Can you believe that? I said, mortified.

Mortified. But did you ever have another date with him? Yeah, he asked me out on another date. Did he kiss any better? He was. I don't know why I even said that. I think I was just trying to be funny. It says Chelsea.

I don't know. I was like, it was so embarrassing. I couldn't believe it. I'm like, this is why. She didn't date and then it was done. I shouldn't date. Okay. I'm disaster.

How about this one? Joining a dating app and only matching with younger men. Home runs. Do I even have to answer? that one? I know. I think it comes all the way around. Listen. Yeah, we're all in it. Big hearts. Do you think there's anything wrong with it? I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but I, I'll take older and younger. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. But I'm wondering why only younger, like, why wouldn't you attract older as well? I don't know. Only no, no,

you're only matching. You only swipe with younger men. Oh, like, I'm only swiping to the younger? Yeah. Like you joined a dating app and you're only matching with younger men. So you could be swiping right. And the ones that match come up a match are the younger ones, which is perfectly fond. That's a home run. Yeah. I think that's a home run. I mean, they're not saying how much younger. Yeah. It could be like, you know, a couple years, right? That's not a big deal. If I could just match. Kathy, I don't believe you. Oh, believe me. Wait, Kathy does have a little story. Didn't you make a boyfriend out there? Yes, but I was going to save it for another podcast. But I'll tell it. I'll tell it.

But, you know, no, I don't have a boyfriend out here. It was like a little joke that I said to Susan that I met my guy in a foreign land. She goes, you're kidding. I went, no. She said, what's his name? I said, Ben. His name is Big Ben. I'm so enthralled with him.

He's a tall stature. And he tells the time. But, you know, he knows what time it is. You never have to. He's consistent. The only problem is he doesn't, he's very stable, but he can't move. You know, he's kind of stuck. He's stuck in one place.

And I don't like that flexible. Yeah. I like Big Ben. I'm in for Big Ben. Yeah. I like Big Ben. Let me tell you, while we're on this subject, Susan, I have. So my sister is here with me, Carol.

And we've been walking around and keep saying, are there any? And I love a man with an accent. But I'm telling you, we were in the financial district today. I saw so many handsome men. The problem was they were my son's age. I mean, they were dressed to the tea, the really British beautiful suits and the great core family. I just really nicely dressed.

But I looked at my sister and I said, here's the problem. They want to date our daughters. They're true, true. Kathy, have you had tea? High tea? Not high tea. But I've had a lot of tea since I've been here. Because my sister, we walk, Susan.

Walk. Okay, you can walk the high tea. Yeah. You've got to go to the Langham. You got to go to the Langham Hotel for tea on Sunday. Well, we're leaving tomorrow night for Portugal, so probably not happening. But, you know, it's okay. I'm not a big touristy girl.

This is not my first trip to London. Tourist has nothing to do with having high tea. You know what? I've eaten trust and believe me. I just don't care. Oh, you get to live out. I love going to be eating one. Wow.

And you know what? When I find, I wait, before we end this, since I'm talking about my. We're not right. We're not ending. I'm going to tell you this, Susan. And Carol, tell me this is a, tell me, this is a, tell me. I'm doing my own homerunner strikeout and this is true and you're going to tell me what you think. Okay.

When I was here, three years ago was the last time I was here with my sister. A friend of mine who lives in the States knows this guy, she and her husband, sorry, her husband and this guy played on the same rugby team. He, she said, you should go and have drinks. Fast forward, we had drinks three years ago, had dinner. he texted me, WhatsApp me, was very interested. And then he said he wanted to come and stay with me. And Austin, I was like, you do. Well, you don't know the end of it.

I said, I was not comfortable with that. I did not want him to stay in my house. I thought that was asking a lot to come and stay in my home. Do you agree or not? Me? Yes, Carol. How long did you know him? I met him for dinner in London one night.

And we had dinner with him. My sister, my niece and I, and he, we all had dinner and then we went for a drink somewhere. And then, you know, he gave me a little peck on the cheek. I thought, honestly, I didn't think it was interested. But then he started texting me and WhatsApp me and, you know, called me a few times. That's what they do, though. But then he asked me, he said, they go to people's homes. Like, they call them billets in the old day, right?

They go to people's homes. Yeah, but here's the thing. I didn't know him well. And he wanted to come to Austin. He was coming to Houston for a rugby. reunion and then he wanted to come and stay in my house. I was not comfortable with that and I told him that and he was pissed off because he said I'm flying across the pond. Well no, he was flying across the pond to go to the rugby reunion in Houston and then was going to drive over to see me. Long story short,

didn't happen. So when I was coming back this year, I texted him and I said, hey, I'm going to be coming back this spring to London. Because I was, I was, I was, I actually was attracted to the guy. Did you ask to stay at his house? No, but I said, he goes, let me know the dates. So I did. Oh, okay. I said, I'm going to be in, told him the dates and said, if you'd like to get together,

staying at my niece lives in London. If you'd like to come in, have a drink, would love to see you. Well, you know, he's a guy, so he's not smart enough to turn off his red messages. So he read it and he never responded. Good thing you never had. had him at your house, right? Well, had she had him at her house, maybe he would have responded. But I was thinking

that he could have his own room. I was, he wasn't insinuating in your bed, right? Nope. No. He's not coming. You weren't comfortable enough to give him his own room. You want to come visit me. Get a hotel room. Yeah. I'm old-fashioned, Susan. Get a hotel room. He's got plenty of money. Take me out for dinner.

Yeah, I would have gave him a spare room. I didn't sleep there. So, Carol, when I tell you my dating life sucks, when I tell you, believe me. Do you know I've set up so many people, by the way? Yeah. Okay. My brother, my brother, Freddy's dad, I set him up.

With Chelsea? No, no, no, Freddy's dad. Oh, Freddy's dad. My brother, after he lost his wife. Yeah, he didn't date for a while, but then I'd set him up on a few dates. On that note, keep all your girlfriends in your mind there. Yeah. Carol, I'm available, and I'll move to L.A.,

unlike all these other Goldens who get to, you know, be the lead in Don't trust the other one. Shut your mouth. I love them, but they don't move. They're not willing to move. Yeah, why don't they move? I don't understand that. They need a reason to.

Yeah. They got the guy. They got the guy or they got the girl. Yeah. Figure it out, people. Yeah. Are you with me? Would you move?

Carol, would you move for a guy? Yeah, it depends where he lives, but I'm not moving to Indiana. True to that. How do you feel about Wichita? It's got to be a coast, east or west. I'm not going to Wichita. I don't know. Major city, right?

Chicago. Yeah, I mean, I could find Texas because I pitch myself with a nice ranch. Like, you know, that wouldn't be a cool. Yeah, Texas has some beautiful. You know, I guess it depends on the place. But if you really love somebody. Yeah. Carol, I think you're my sister.

I am right there with you. If I could be the guy. And then I'll say that to me. Like, of course I would move. you know, of course I would move. And I have two of my children and all my grandchildren are in Austin. But you know what? That's what our plans are for.

Yeah. Nowadays you can just travel whenever you want. You just go back and forth. It's not a big deal. All right. You have to work. I mean, if it's really keeping me where I am. If you're not working and you have time to travel back and forth, that that's easy.

It's as long as, Europe is a little hard, but anywhere in the United States, it's pretty easy. Yeah. Absolutely. All right. Carol, you have been fabulous. I love it. We loved having you. You are an amazing, beautiful, talented woman, and we can't leave before we say, have a date with that guy.
