We were out there for your finale. Yes, it was August. It was August. I'm like, am I going crazy? No, no, sorry. It's just there's so many seasons of this show. It all blurs together. But we were out at dinner, Don asked me what our favorite podcast was, like who we interviewed.

It's like every year like, okay, so in D.C., I don't know much.

So, like, if you're from D.C., then I'm sorry if I get any of this wrong. But they have, like, an annual celebration of when the, like, cherry blossoms bloom. The cherries bloom? Yeah. So it's like this whole, like, history thing. And it's like a big celebration. So didn't know it's like basically like for them. It's like their Macy's Thanksgiving parade.

Okay, gotcha. Oh, my gosh. For D.C. That's actually. I'm actually jealous. I wish I would be the one that I was in your shoes because Joe's coming for your job. He's coming for your job.

No, Washington cherries are the best. I used to sell them. No, Joe, no. You got him going. It's not real cherries. It's cherry blossoms. Oh. Oh, never mind.

The pink trees, not the produce. Whatever. You know what? So I just want to let all our listeners know that this is my last podcast. It's great. It's okay. I can understand how you got confused. But yeah, for everyone that's in Washington for the Cherry Blossom Festival, know that they also have great cherries.

I don't think it's, I think it's Washington, the state, though. Oh, so you, I've tried to save you and there's nothing to be done there. Nothing we can. Yeah. Okay. So what is your role in the Cherry Blossom Festival then? So basically, it's kind of like I'm co-hosting, but like I don't get that title, but I'll basically will be co-hosting. and then riding in the float and saying hello to everyone. That's not a good way. Saying hello to everyone. Dotten, are you going to ride on the float, too?

I have no idea. She just dragged me here. No, that is not true. We're doing like a couple of interviews. And then I think he rides in like a part of it, not the whole thing. Okay, gotcha. Dotten, how's, uh, how's, how's work? It's tough.

I'm working, trying to fit all this shit in there. it's a grind. I'm exhausted. And after this interview, I have to get back into it. But it's good. Staying afloat, you know, staying in touch with my people. So, yeah, just trying to keep all the plate spinning as much as possible really. Are you guys going to go out, like, are you guys going to go out tonight? No, probably tomorrow.

We just have, like, an early morning tomorrow. And then we get done pretty early. So then, yeah, Friday night will be it. Cool. All right, Serenie, want to ask Charity, what you were going to ask her? Oh, this is just the worst. segue you've ever set up in my life. There was no segue

there of literally all the things. I thought we were going to go into Family Feud, their wedding. No, Joe, Joe has different plans for this podcast. Charity, you recently shared on social media that there was a little plastic surgery done for all the girlies that may have some questions.

Can you tell us about it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so there's a little bit of a buzz around that which I kind of knew going into it like sharing and openly talking about it but obviously I never want like people to have to guess like anything about me and so like being transparent about it but also like I'm over like the whole like judgmental like zone that we have when it comes to like just anything plastic surgery because I mean I just don't know why people like care so hard about what other people decide to do

for their lives but anyway that's besides the point I decided to get this done because it was like really good timing in my life. wanted this, I kid you not, for like, probably like 10 years. Obviously, like when I first initially wanted it, it was like probably early, like or late, late high school, early college. And I was like, now I'm too young. And like, I tried to get myself like time to like figure out like obviously my body was still like changing and all of this and, you know, just growing into it and like figuring out if this was still something that I wanted. And it kind of died down. But then obviously like the opportunity came for me to like get it done this year. And I was like,

why not like this is perfect timing I'm done with majority like the bulk of you know traveling a lot and being busy so I decided to get it done right in time for the summer so but the procedure was great and I honestly like I know there's so many like things around it but for me it's like the best decision that I've ever made for myself and I don't regret it at all so I'm recovering well and healing well and yeah it's just a great new that I have that's amazing I'm so happy for Perfect for the summer. It is. For people that are listening that don't know what procedure you got done.

Sorry, yes. I should have specified. But I had a breast augmentation. So, yeah, got my boobs done. How was it in terms of like pre-op, post-op recovery? Yeah, like, pre-op. I definitely, like, I had made the decision to get it done. And I was like, okay, I'm getting it done.

I don't think it really hit me until, like, the night before. And obviously, we were already in L.A. Because this was right after Joey's finale. So I got it done, like, two days after. And I was just sitting in the Airbnb, and I kept, like, looking at Doughton, like, talking to my parents. I was going back and forth. I was like, oh, my God, it's too late for me to, like, change my mind now. Like, the surgery is, like, literally tomorrow.

But it was kind of like this thing of, like, it finally hitting me at that moment. And I was like, okay, like, taking it in, like, having these, like, it's, kind of emotional, like, a little bit of, like taking the last glances. I know this is kind of weird to say, but like at your body and like this is the last time you're going to have like this like image of yourself before it like changes. But then I remember like the surgery day went by so quick. It was like I was out there like in like 45 minutes. You were. Oh my gosh. That's quick. Yeah. It was like a really quick surgery. Do they put you under for it like fully? Yeah. So I went under. Thank God because I would have not been able to be awake for that. No. But in and out. And I mean, the recovery was like fairly easy. It was just like a

weird feeling if anyone has gotten this done you probably know what this feeling is like but it's like not pain it's just more like uncomfortable um and so like that was like kind of tricky to get used to but doten was obviously by my side and helping me take care of myself so really grateful for him but yeah i mean the whole thing was just a breeze and my doctor was amazing like truly just a holistic approach which i love and that's the main reason why i went to him but then also just like the whole thing like he just was like there every single step which i know people have not great experiences so i'm grateful for mine that's amazing done oh jinks i was going to say was charity like high as a kite when she came out of the operation or were you high as a kite

oh no it was actually it's always funny right it seemed i don't know if you guys have you guys have you guys have very experienced like a significant another or someone coming out of uh i was with my sister after her wisdom teeth. So I experienced her. And then I had knee surgery when I was in high school. So I also have heard stories of like coming out of the anesthesia and all the crazy things that you say into. No, I, it was so funny.

I mean, obviously she was like, she was like crying the whole time, but had nothing to do with pain. I'm really emotional. Every time I have like that, I get really emotional. Yeah, just like completely out of it. And then it was this repeat of like three questions. were to ask. She was like, did the doctor see him? And it would cycle and then a minute would go by. And then she'd look at me and then she'd ask it again. Like, it was so funny.

I forgot, what was the one thing? It was, you were like, yeah. And then you were like, then you made it. He'd got to be funny. He was like, they also took something else out. Oh, yeah. I was like, of course I don't know what's going on. So I was like, they took something else out. And I was like, what are you talking about? And I said, I was like, yeah, they took out your liver or something and then she goes they did and she goes to the black market and I was like yeah so I like was convinced that I had like missing organs and they were on the black market so she was just like crying the whole time like again for not for any pain or anything but just like just makes her super emotion yeah and the and the fact that you told her that her

liver got taken out too I mean I would cry I'd have a little bit of it. That's so funny. Oh, my gosh. I never envision being with a woman. I'll just be honest. I'm Jamel Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Politics. On this week's episode,

I'm joined by basketball legend, Candice Parker, who stops by to discuss her candid new book, The Can Do Mindset, in which she shares why she waited two years into marriage to come out. Like, when I close my eyes at night, every night,

I was like, I need to find my prince charming. Like, it was never a princess. Like, that never entered into my mind. But, you know, as I learned, sometimes life gives you things wrapped in a package that you didn't expect it. And that was just, you know,

and honestly, it took me a long time to be okay with myself. Make sure to listen to this week's episode of Spolitics on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

My name is Ed. Everyone say, hello Ed. I'm from a very rural background myself. My dad is a farmer, and my mom is a cousin. So, like, it's not like... What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago. I just normally do straight stand-up,

but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear. Well, 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage. Available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app,

Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Let's get into the Family Feud. We were lucky enough to do it a few years ago. So much fun. I'm a huge Steve Harvey fan. So like to see him in person. How is your guys' experience? I guess like, yeah, talk about what you can talk about because I know it hasn't come

out yet. Yeah, Family Feud was a really cool time. I mean, it was awesome. I mean, like, I still have my little name tag and I look at it, and it feels surreal to have that because you just watch it on TV. So the experience itself was awesome, and then obviously it's just magnified by the people we were with, right?

So, like, Joey, Kelsey, Katie, and Zach. I mean, those are my people, truly. So we just had a good time. All my problems I forgot about during that weekend. It was so much fun and so much, such a cool experience. We were all super nervous, think that makes it even more fun, right? Especially when you conquer it.

So, truly just so blessed. And Steve Harvey, he's such a funny guy. I had a great time. Knows how to work a room. That man knows how to work a room. He's, like, making jokes, doing bits, the crowds, wearing, like, it's so funny. Which is what I was, like, I was prepared for, but, like, I don't think I was, like, fully prepared for.

They're like, yeah, Steve, he was, like, funny. And I was like, okay, like, is what we see on TV. But, like, literally, when the cameras aren't rolling, he's the different. I'm like, oh, my God. when we were there he was doing he was talking to the audience but he was doing like motivational speaking well he did one

he did like a motivational speech to the audience just about like life career all of it so we thought like what we had was the norm so hearing that he was going off with you guys yeah and it's funny I had heard that like

obviously I can't imagine what it's like to be doing that show filming 10 episodes per day so I feel like we got lucky I did I feel like it probably is just like whatever mood Steve's in that day. Because we were like the last recording it. It's also he does so many episodes. So it's probably like, think about it.

Like if we shot like seven podcasts in a day by podcast number two, by podcast number five, by podcast number five, I would be like, you know, every time we got a break, I would be checked out. Yeah.

That's very true. Who were you guys? Can you say who you were playing against? Yeah, I think we can. Yeah. Yeah, we played against Gary and Teresa and then their kids. It's usually five, but they let us do six.

Yeah. It's kind of cool. Okay, yeah, I was, I think we were five versus five. Yeah, something like that. Wow, you guys are getting all the special treatment over at family. Yeah. It really looks like you guys had so much fun. I feel like filming it is actually shorter than the show airing commercials.

It's crazy. I feel like we filmed for 30 minutes, but then they're going to stretch it to an hour somehow when they do it. So anyways, but the just, just not a lot of opportunities. So I think I had maybe two opportunities to have some type of interaction. So, I mean, I won't spoil like, you know, how I did, but I'm also torn. It's like I help, but then I feel like I heard, um, bad for Katie and Zach. They were at the very end. So it's like, being at the end's hard. Like, yeah. Unless you like, you know, have like four rounds and no, you know, then it's tough to get your some words in. And it's like, you just go

for a vacation essentially. I did a, I did like, it was the first time they ever did it. It was like a family feud tour and they asked me to be on it. Yeah, they asked me to be on it. Yeah, they asked me to be on it so I didn't you host

it. I told people I hosted it, but I was not, I was not the host actually. I need I need the luck that you get around. Not luck. I know it's not just luck. I need to work hard. But like the things that get drawn to you, I need that.

Why didn't exist it? Yeah, no, it was the first time I did it. It was only two weeks. We've been the other three years and you've always told me you hosted it. So what did you do? I was, let the truth come out. Oh, yeah. I never told you that I didn't really host it.

You said that you and Kevin from the office hosted for like two weeks, the family future. No. Oh my God. I was, I was like the team leader of one team. What? I know your picture you is Steve Harvey on this Family Few live tour

I'm glad that you finally got that off your conscience But anyways I bring this up I bring this up because I Because of that I had like practice of like Playing actually playing Family Few But if I didn't it went on the show It's so easy to go on that show and freeze

Because you're like wait You're like you're like you're like you're brain can't think of like these simplest answers because you're you're nervous yeah no I was like I remember being absolutely exhausted starving and like panicking like I was I ended up being way more nervous than I thought it was going to be I'm like I can play this I play this all that time from the couch it's not the same yeah they didn't have a craft for you guys well I don't think I don't think yeah I don't I think we were still under like, I think COVID was still lingering to where there were certain things like we couldn't go do and stuff.

Yeah. I think that's what was, I think that's what was happening. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, excellent food on. Yeah. That's another. Wow. Way to rub it in.

Don't. To kick us all her down. What Joe is saying, like, it really is like, I think that was, I don't want, again, not giving anything away, but like the hardest thing for us was like trying to think of like simple answers. I think we, like, thought too hard about certain answers and that like, you know. Yeah, you over thing. It didn't help us out.

That adrenaline is going. Like, everything that she do normally just goes out. Yeah. You know, yeah, because the question is like, what are things that are green and you're like, green? Yeah, yeah. I always think you got to remember the green thing. You're like, wait, watch her. Is this green?

Yeah. Like, simplest things. Crazy. It was a good game. It was a good game. Yeah. Okay. Nice. How are Zach and Katie and Kelsey and Joey doing? You guys look like you had so much fun. I was following along on social media. Again, one of the best weekends we've had in a minute just because we've been

this ripping and running, but to be in the same space with people or couples alike who has gone through, like, obviously this experience was super special. And Katie and Zach are doing great working, but like it was good seeing them. And as always, obviously, I'm like close to Katie too. So it was just really good to catch up and have time in person together. And then it was, this was, no, not my first time. Second time being with Kelsey. And she is a who, like, I love her so much.

She's so funny. Like, so funny. And obviously, like, like Joey and her together, just they're both super happy. And you could just, like, see the love. And it's like, oh, yes, it just takes us back. Yeah. Yeah. Very relatable.

Yeah. Probably the most, like, relatable environment. I've been in a while because you see two other couples that have also literally gone through the same thing or in the similar boat. So, and there's a nice little grading of like Katie and Zach and us. And then, you know, so you see the flow too. And you go, oh, I remember when things were like that like that. It's probably crazy for like Zach and Katie to like look and see like your guys's stage

and then Joey and Kelsey's and be like, oh, we were in both of those. And then on the flip, Joey and Kelsey to be able to kind of look forward. at what like like could be coming for them in their lives through like you guys if that make yeah yeah no it really is like someone like comment this on one of our pictures or i don't know but it's just like a really good like support system like i feel like and i never looked at it that way not like you know utilizing like this show it's like oh like you know support system we're gonna stay together for that but it's like it's just really it's also just helpful like when we also are really good friends with them,

but then also, like, again, going through this experience, and we all know, like, the shit that comes with just being in the public eye and managing this relationship, and it's a lot, but, like, it's, it's just great. Yeah, so. Charity, Charity is the glue to that group,

because she's the only one with connections. So, I'm not trying to go. Charity is, that's charity, that's just, that's just, that and Charity is Joey. She's holding it together. But Donton actually living with Joey, and I know you're good friends with him, after finally meeting Kelsey, does it make sense? Yeah, no, definitely. I've told him, I mean, he'd be confiding each other a little bit early on.

So maybe I may have had a little bit of an insight into looking there, but watching it back, it made perfect sense. It's like that was the best person that he could have picked for himself. So I couldn't have been more proud. Initially, I was like nervous. You know, you see some people get making, like, ooh, Joey, like, I don't know if that's the mood. But luckily, as the process goes, you know, eventually you kind of, you know, find your own and see what you need to see. And yeah, Kelsey is really just such a good person, you know, and one of the best people on that cast. So I'm very proud of how you navigate it.

And, yeah, I see a long future for them. So, yeah. Yeah, we had them on the podcast and they seem so great. We haven't met either of them in person yet. Oh, well, we met Joey in person. That's not sure. We haven't met Kelsey in person. But we hear that they're moving to New York.

So hopefully we'll meet them that. Yes. Come on over. I know. Are they leaning towards Brooklyn by you guys or Manhattan? Funny enough, because the last time Joey was in New York, like we went out with him. And that question came up.

He was like, I don't know, like, City or Brooklyn. He was like, but I like Berkeley. I think he, like, in his heart, would want to be in Brooklyn, but I don't know. Like, I haven't talked to Kelsey about it. You probably know more about it than me. But we were like, come home to Brooklyn. Like, you know, we go out here all the time.

Like, you're in Manhattan for like work, but like, come over here. And so you don't know. I would love for them to come to Brooklyn. Yeah. But I, I feel like it probably. Yeah, they're probably at the same. And we might be in Manhattan too,

about that time. next year we might move there but i have a feeling that they'll probably be in the in the manhattan so yeah kelsey's giving manhattan yeah city vibes really i don't really get that from her really i feel like she's like high energy wants to be like where the pulses oh yeah maybe maybe yeah maybe she's a little high energy is there ever any awkwardness like do you ever feel any awkwardness in any of those situations i i figured no but like got like I feel like people probably look at it and think like they do weird it's your access and I'm like I don't even want to say I don't look at them that way but like I think it's like if

I was like single and like hanging out with them yeah maybe but like we're like all happy and I would have to say like out of everybody that's probably been a lead but also on this show I feel like me and Joey are both very mature and like have this level of emotional intelligence like We just, like, can separate the two. So it's like, it's not weird at all. And, like, I, I think I have a little bit more, like, leverage or, like, will to, like, I guess, invite that friendship because of how close Dotton and him are. And same, like, even Dotten getting close with Zach.

So that was not on my being a car at all. But they're like, best buttons and it's crazy. Oh, he really does love, like, Joey and Zach equally. And it's, like, crazy. So, no, yeah, I think we're all just, like, mature enough to just be like, you know what? it was experienced part of our journeys that led us to where we are now and we're just all happy so yeah the truth is it's like it's like not that deep you know no it's like really not I wanted to say that but without like it being like shady but it's really not that deep like after

months you have time to process everything and it's like okay whatever move let's move yeah well and like you said like it's not like you joey and zacker hang out just like three single keeps in the city like you're all engaged in love like it's in the past very much so. Zach's like Zach may be the nicest man in Bachelor National. No, he really is and I'm so nice. I think Zach is one of the most misunderstood person

in the majority He is really misunderstood. I will agree with that. I feel like people's perception of him is like not like you're not seeing the core of who he is. Exactly. He's he's I mean I hear that he you know based on film I mean, like, was just, like, very, like, serious.

He couldn't be further from the truth. He's very balanced in that way. One of the goofiest guys has such a big personality that you would never know unless you hung out with him personally. And so, like, been lucky enough to hang out with him. And initially, like, I don't know if I would connect with this guy, you know, like trying to find your place in this fatula world and there's so much, you know, weirdness between people.

But Zach is genuinely someone I would be friends with a thousand percent outside if none of this ever happened. So, yeah, such a, such a good guy. So it was fun. I'm Jemail Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Politics. And on the latest episode of Politics, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joins me for a candid conversation about the state of the Democratic Party.

What do Republicans say to you privately that they won't say publicly? Many of them are in fear of their political lives, and that's been part of the challenge. But we continue to say to them, you were elected to defend your constituents, to stand up for your. constituents and there's life after Congress and you should be willing to actually want to be able to look back on your time in the House of Representatives knowing that you can keep your head

held high because you did the right thing. Donald Trump is gone in three and a half years, but their legacy or their failure to stand up to the extremism and the unprecedented assault on America as we know it will be with them forever.

Like, whoever it was, obviously I knew who it was beforehand, but, like, um they had told me that day but i i was honored to pass past the torch um jen is incredible um watching her on joey season like she definitely i feel like this will test her in way so i'm curious to see how that's going to play out because i always say even like the most sound people coming on this show like struggle and i can tell like i don't want to like blame her age but i can just see certain things i'm like oh these were like qualities that i did and like i was like i've grown from that or I've learned from that. So it definitely will be interesting to like see it play out.

But I really am excited for her. I know like this is something like her like finding her person and something that she really, really want. So I hope she like obviously takes it serious. How old is she? She's 25. Okay. Yeah.

So. Definitely, like, the reactions are mixed, but it's okay. How is the tone in the realm? It was, I think initially everyone was like, you know, like, just surprised. Yeah, it was just shocking. We all were like, oh, it's going to be Maria. And so I think people were, like, waiting. And then, like, it was kind of like, I think everyone's brain was like, wait a second.

Okay, that's not the name we just heard. It's gin. Yay. And so, like, the applause kind of came a little bit after. But, like, after that, I mean, it was just like, honestly, the whole night was a celebration. and we were just all like super thrilled and supporting her and wishing her much success but before she got snatched away

but yeah it was good. Donne if you could give the guys any advice what would it be and it can't be advice that you've given before the guys that are going on Jen season so they're on they're filming now which is crazy

also if you gave it before we won't know so feel free to not follow that rule what did you say if you gave the advice before Oh yeah Yeah good question What would I What advice would I give them?

To I don't know like Not to force The emotions right Like I know everything is really You know conduced into this real format for a few weeks But not to force anything

Like just take it serious But don't force those feelings because, like, the last thing you want to do is, like, I think people are interested in how tough it is to probably be, make it to the end and get engaged and to have that fallout. Like, that shit's, I imagine, is terrifying and not fun. So, um, just avoid that situation altogether. Um, and yeah, I think that, I mean, other than that's like basic information,

you know, compartmental act. There's not really a specific approach, but you just have to understand what hell's going on and don't force those feelings, like, you know, like let them happen, really look for the person, look at who. they are. Use your dating history past to determine if that's somebody that you are compatible with. Yeah. And yeah. And be

cool with all the guys too. Like, don't be starting to be. Don't be doing it. That never works out. It never works out, but we need at least, we need at least one or two of them. We do. We do. We do need them. So what is next for you guys? What else is going on?

Anything you want to share? I mean I feel like we're boring now sorry well you're in Brooklyn yeah you think you might move to Manhattan when's your Lisa? It'll be up like end of November

so we have a while Oh you have time Yeah we definitely do have time But yeah I think it's like We're realizing kind of what we talked about It's like oh we're like in Manhattan a lot For like work and events and doing stuff like that So it is a lot of like commuting, but like we also go out like almost always in Brooklyn.

So it's like one of those things where it's like kind of corn between the two. Maybe we'll meet somewhere in the middle. I don't know. Yeah, but if you live in Manhattan, you're not going to go to Brooklyn to go out. You'll go out in Manhattan. I know. And I think we don't want to lose that. Like, you know, like he definitely doesn't want to live.

Like if he ever said we're never going out in Brooklyn again, this man beat down with him. Just kidding for like, you know, like he loves Brooklyn. And so, and I love it too, but I feel like I like, I definitely share it with him. I was like, I want to kind of like go somewhere like in the middle now. Um, so that's probably like next on our list to figure out. But in the meantime, we have some vacations coming up because they are well needed. Um, I know people are like still having vacation. No, I have not.

Um, so yeah, we are. Well, it is. I will, I will happen here and say like, especially when, you know, you were the lead and, and you guys are a successful couple. you do you end up traveling so much but most of the traveling even though you know looks great but a lot of it is work yeah yeah you're just like busy so it's like you actually don't usually take a vacation right we didn't take a vacation until like 10 months after paradise after we film paradise because yeah we were just like we were traveling like we were in

hiding like as you guys were and then you're going to l.A for like all these different things and then and all these work things. And it's like, yeah, it's like we were, like, there's difference between travel and vacation. Exactly. It's like we're traveling and we're in like different locations. But like, is it actual leisure time? Is it doing things that we like love or haven't done before?

Not necessarily. So we're looking forward to the few that we have coming up. Where are you going? Yeah, where you going? Yeah. So Hawaii, hopefully fingers crossed. Oh, are you going to go with the, with Joey, Kelsey and Zach and Katie? Yeah.

Am I saying that right? Granada, Spain? No. It's like above Venezuela. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. So I literally've never been there.

Interesting. I don't know. Of course, this is the one you're going to be vague on. I'm like, okay, now I need to know. more about this. Yeah, I don't know. So, yeah, that's just like like our anniversary. It's like falling on the internet because we're,

we're supposed to go to Greece then, but we had to bump it back a few weeks. So then we're going to Greece after we come back. Okay. I was waiting for the Greece trip. Yeah, yeah. So that one is, it's locked in, but it's in a few weeks. So we're looking forward to that. That's so nice.

They're probably hungry. But if a baby is sleeping in the back seat, will you remember they're even there? When you're distracted, stressed, or not usually the one who drives them, the chances of forgetting them in the back seat are much higher. It can happen to anyone.
