This is an I-Heart podcast.
My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious.
Wait a minute, Sam.
Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit.
Well, Dakota, luckily, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon.
This person writes, my boyfriend's been hanging out with his young professor a lot.
He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her.
Now he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.
Now, hold up.
Isn't that against school policy?
That seems inappropriate.
Maybe find out how it ends by listening to the OK Storytime podcast and the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose
between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp
designed to be hell on earth?
Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced.
He said, you are a number, a New York State number, and we own you.

Hi, everyone, we're back.
Welcome back to Bachelor Happy Hour's Golden Hour.
And thanks for joining us.
Kathy and I are so excited to be here.
We are.
And if you haven't listened to our episode from Wednesday,
you really need to check it out.
we had our gorgeous and fabulous friend Joan
from the Golden Bachelor on the podcast
and she was spilling a lot of tea
and today we have some great fan questions
but I can't wait to get to those however
let's talk about June for a minute
I mean she was a great guest wasn't she Kathy
I mean how can anybody
be so beautiful so thin
lover family cook date
I don't know. It's concerning.
I know. And please don't forget. If you do have a question for Kathy and I, just send them in.
Go to bachelornation.com slash golden hour.
And if you're single and you're out there, send in your resume. We're interested.
DM us.
Kathy, you want to do the topic of the day?
Let's start. Here we go. Susan, does cheating have to be a deal breaker? Is there ever
a scenario when you can get past infidelity in a relationship.
Oh, God, I would struggle.
Well, was I the cheater or he the teeter?
No.
I think that answers the question moving right along.
No, I think that's a tough one.
And it would take a really strong person to people that would communicate well enough.
And it depends on the circumstances.
It's hard to forgive that, but forgiveness is the key to success, to happiness, to being okay
with your own self.
So you don't forget.
I think maybe it would be a strain on the relationship, but if you really, really love each other
and somebody screwed it up once, I mean, if it was an ongoing affair, that's a no-brainer,
but I don't know.
That's a tough one.
For me, I will tell you, in my 46,000.
years of marriage, the one thing my husband and I said we could never get passed would be cheating.
So I think in the abstract, for me, cheating would be a deal breaker. But in reality, I think there are a lot of
relationships that can be stronger after an episode of cheating. I agree with you. If it's a long-term
affair, you're toast. But I think reality often is different.
than, you know, what we imagine the perfect scenario to be.
And so I don't really know.
I mean, I always said I would be gone,
but I think sometimes things happen
and it takes a big heart to forgive, and maybe you can.
It depends on the people, but on the two people, right?
And how strong that love is.
Could you trust, though?
Could you trust again?
I would have a difficult time.
I think I would.
I'd be constantly checking or, well.
So our first question, have somebody actually.
actually did call in and left the question.
So we're going to play that for everyone so they can hear it.
And this question is from Jennifer.
Let's listen.
Hi, this is Jennifer.
I'm so excited to have the opportunity to ask you to a very important question.
I am wondering how you feel about men after, let's say,
50s and up how they handle women who are not perfect as far as the wonderful cellulite and many other
little things or big things to some such as not doing any type of Botox or injections fillers
etc. How do you think men in their 50s, 60s, 70s feel about natural women who don't wear a lot of
makeup either? And is it even possible to find love in your 50s, 60s, or 70s when it seems like
so many men at that age are looking for women that just try to look much younger?
and perfect versus someone that's natural and, I mean, not overweight or anything, but when it comes
to cellulite and in general.
Wow.
First of all, I do think there's hope for 50s, 60s and 70s, and there is nothing wrong with
B&L Natural.
I'm fed serious.
Men appreciate that.
We all have cellulite.
I mean, I cheat.
I get Botox.
It doesn't look like it sometimes, but I do.
Yeah, what do you think, Kathy?
I think there's a lot to unpack in this question.
Yeah.
I'd like to believe, I would really like to believe,
that men like natural, whatever that means, you know.
But my experience tells me something different.
My experience tells me that men really want to have on their arm someone who looks young and vivacious and energetic and they don't really care if they have fake boobs or dye their hair or have extensions or tattooed eyebrows and God knows what else.
I too have had, you know, by the way, is this the time to say no cheek implants?
You know, I've had Botoxin fillers and all those things.
I think that it's more about you, Jennifer, feeling your best.
If you feel good doing things, you know, whether it's filler, Botox, whatever is a facelift, I don't care.
If you feel better, you should do it for yourself, but not because you're trying to attract a man.
I think that's the difference for me.
I think that some men, you know, want younger.
Some men don't.
Don't you think that some men go for younger because it's making them feel better.
Look who I have.
If you're not confident in yourself and people that don't wear makeup,
I know a lot of beautiful women out there that are very natural and don't.
Are they single?
I said women.
I know.
I meant, do they have a man in their life?
Or are they like, yeah, I don't have a good boyfriend.
You know what, a little bit goes a long way.
And a lot of men appreciate that not everybody likes a Barbie.
You know what I mean?
I haven't met a guy yet who doesn't, but okay.
Well, they look at them, but they want to marry them or be with them on a long-term thing.
Because then you're high maintenance, right?
I mean, there's a, yeah.
I don't know.
I just, I do think there's a variety of men out there.
I think there are some men.
who like natural, I think, I hate to admit it, Susan, but I do think a lot of men like a younger
looking woman. And, you know, for me, this gets into the whole thing of ageism. We, we, we, we don't
want to say, I've said this to you before. When you look at a 35-year-old, do you ever say to her,
wow, Susie Q, you look great for 35? No. We never say that. We say, wow, you're beautiful.
But when you're 70, people say, wow, Kathy, you look great for 70.
So, you know, I think it's in bread.
It's just inherent in our society.
That's what people do.
That's what it is.
I don't like it, but that's what it is.
I mean, I go to the grocery store all the time without makeup.
I do.
It is who I am.
But if I'm going to a function or an affair or being on TV, you know, of course you're going to make yourself up a little bit.
But does it make you feel better?
Or do you do it to attract other people?
No, it makes me feel better.
I think I look better if I put a little lip gloss on or lashes or something.
So you feel better.
You feel better.
I'm not doing it to impress anybody else.
To know me is to know that.
Okay.
So, you know, I think, Jennifer, you seem like you're struggling a little bit with being who you are.
And I think, Susan, you and I would agree, you know, be yourself.
and whatever yourself is,
if that's a complete makeover, do it.
If it's, you know, letting your underarm hair grow
and not shaving your legs, do that.
But just be comfortable with who you are.
Never ever worry about cellulite.
It's part of life.
I mean, everybody's got a little bit somewhere.
Oh, whatever, Kathy.
She's perfect.
I forgot.
My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly,
and now I'm seriously suspicious.
Oh, wait a minute, Sam.
Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit.
Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon.
This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot.
He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her.
Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.
Now, hold up.
Isn't that against school policy?
That sounds totally inappropriate.
Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor and they're the same age.
And it's even more likely that they're cheating.
insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I never envision being with a woman. I'll just be honest. I'm Jamel Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Spolitics. On this week's episode, I'm joined by basketball legend, Candice Parker, who stops spot.
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 Podcasts,

All right.
Let's go to number two.
Oh, Joey sent this one to us.
Okay.
Oh, Joey.
Okay.
Hi, Susan and Kathy.
I love listening to your podcast while working.
out at the gym, you always have me laughing. My question is this. I recently found out my boyfriend
cheated on me after being together almost three years. He didn't go any farther than kissing,
but retained feelings for this other person. I still love him, but it's hard to trust him now.
We've been trying to work things out, but this is something that can be hard to forget. Is it really
true, once a cheater, always a cheater? Or can something like this be a one-time mistake?
Where we go for society? Again, they say once a cheater, always a cheater. But I don't believe that.
I think people do make mistakes. I do. Everybody's capable of screwing it up just once.
But like I said, last time it depends on how genuine he is when he comes to you. First of all, if he
told you himself without you finding out or he's heartily sorry. I don't know. Why are you asking
me that, Joey? Joey, we love you. Here's the thing, Joey, it's not about what we think. It's really
about what you think. If you're having trouble trusting him now, that's probably going to go forward
in your relationship and that's going to be tough because Susan and I can both attest if you can't
trust your partner, you've got nothing. So I would encourage you to talk to your partner,
see if you can develop that trust again. It's going to take some time. It can be rebuilt,
but you're really going to have to want it. Yeah. I'd like you better when you're laughing.
Yeah, really. Okay. Hi, Susan and Kathy. My name is Courtney. I'm 24 years old, and I started dating
my boyfriend a year ago. He is such a kind and genuine person and we are both each other's
first relationships. My sister is 26 years old and she's never been in a relationship. I've noticed
some jealousy because of this. Okay. She doesn't want to get to know my boyfriend and seems annoyed
when I mention him. She's had a tough time dating and I know the older she gets. She's scared she won't
find someone. Do you have any
advice for her on how to go
about finding a boyfriend for the first time
and could you offer any advice
on how to not let this
affect our relationship?
Thank you.
You want to go?
I've got to think about this one.
Well, for me, Courtney,
number one, congrats on your relationship.
Number two,
your sister is not
your responsibility.
she will find her happiness or not in her time and in her own way.
She can get on dating naps.
She can go to the gym.
She can take a sailing class, a cooking class.
But you're not responsible for her life.
And I think you have to accept that, for starters.
I think that maybe she's annoyed because the attention's not so much on her anymore.
So what about like inviting her along on one of your dates?
Oh, no, no.
Take her with you and you go do something fun.
There's nothing wrong with that.
And have her get to know your guy and she might really like him.
Does she like being a third wheel?
Do you like being a third?
No, but with my sibling, you know, I'd take her.
I would.
And I would want to prove to her that he's a cool guy and he likes you too.
So, that way.
Okay.
I want to paint a picture.
I want to paint a picture for a season.
You're sitting at a table.
you're sitting there with your boyfriend having a good time your sister's across the table she's
got nobody across from her she's got an empty chair how you think she's feeling because we're all
going to talk you know we're not going to talk about serious mushy stuff we're going to say something
late and make her feel welcome and a part of it you know i think it's natural that she feels jealous
but i really i think you just have to live your life it's hard um i think you should reach out
to Susan because she lives in Philly
and she'll find your sister
a boyfriend in no time flat.
Or better yet, does your boyfriend
have friends that we could introduce her
to somebody? How about a dating nap?
A dating nap? Take her class.
Don't be mad at her. Don't be mad.
And you know what? Just give it some time
Courtney and hopefully your sister
will find someone. Truthfully
as we sit here, you're both
really young and you have lots
of years ahead of you. Give her some
time to grow and mature. She's probably going to find a guy next month, and this question's all
going to be a moot point. And you won't be anything. Yeah. Okay, we got one more. I did skip over a question
because it's not a question. Okay. It's not really a question. It's a relationship question,
but Jenna sent us this. How did Bean on the Golden Bachelor impact you? If you were asked
to be the Golden Bachelorette, would you accept? Go, Susan. How did it impact?
me? I made friends and that meant so much to me. However, I went there to find love. I became friends
with Gary and that's all either one of us wanted. The Golden Bachelorette, I've always said,
oh yes, of course, of course. But you know what? I'd be afraid that what if I didn't connect with
all 20 of them, then what would happen? I'm sorry. What would happen? What would happen?
even if you did connect with all 20.
Oh, I'd be in a lot of trouble,
but I'd be taking numbers
in case it didn't work out now.
I've always had that fear, like,
what if that were me?
I used to feel sorry for Gary.
Like he had to let people go
and he felt so bad and we all know he cried a bit.
And I was always there for him like,
oh, Gary, I got you.
It's okay.
You have to do this process.
Yeah.
How about you?
Well, I think it impacted me differently.
I think that it was a show.
and I think some people read me differently than who I am.
And, you know, people have always really liked me.
And so I was surprised.
People think I'm funny and they like me and they know I'll give you the shirt off my back.
You are funny.
Thank you.
So that was hard for me to see that people took what they saw on the show and said,
oh, she's a mean girl because I'm really not and you know that.
So I think that was an impact for me.
But also, I've always been a pretty confident.
person, I think being on that show, Susan, made me even more confident. It made me know what I
want for this last chapter of my life. Tusha, my friend. Yep, not going to settle. I mean, the
friendships, you and I, for those of anyone who's wondering, we really are good friends. And that's
the most valuable gift I got from the show is having you as my friend. So that's really the impact
for me. Would I be the Golden Bachelorette? I've said this a gazillion times. I don't think they
could find 22 guys to keep up with me. Either one of us with our big personalities. You know what,
Susan? But you guys that do apply if you don't get called, like just send us a DM and maybe,
you know, we'll check it out. Wait, I have a question. Do you really think Susan guys, you know,
Bachelor Nation, in case you haven't figured it out yet, Susan and I both have.
have really big personalities.
And a lot of you ask how you be such good friends
because we both are kind people.
We love each other.
We love other people.
But we are both big personalities.
Do you think guys really want big personalities?
I think I've always been told I intimidate people
because I am sure of myself and I'm out there.
I'm friendly.
I'm flirty, but I'm a good girl.
I'm loyal.
And people judge you for being.
such a big personality sometimes, so that's sad.
I know. Yeah, go ahead.
And on the show, I feel as if you need more time to get to know somebody.
So your first impression to me is like crazy, but if you got to know me, I'm lovable.
Yep. I think people, I think that is such a valid point.
You and I are both, even though maybe people wouldn't see it.
We are both sensitive. We're both caring.
people but on the show there's just not really enough time so people who think oh you know you're both
so loud or you're this or you're mean they didn't really see who we really are so those but imagine
kathy imagine if we went on that show and that was our person like that happens you know that's what
I always always wish for for any of us you mean if he had been our person some sometimes it doesn't
Yeah, if he had been our person, like, that does happen.
I would have walked on you, Susan, together.
I'll fight you for him.
I'm stronger.
Hey, people out there, if you have a question for us, we really do want to hear it.
All you have to do is go to bachelornation.com slash golden hour.
And I can't wait until somebody's actually featured on here.
And you know what I mean?
Like a stranger that's asking us a question.
It's so fun.
And you won't be a stranger anymore.
You become our friend.
Our friend.
My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious.
Well, wait a minute, Sam, maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit.
Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon.
This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot.
He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her.
Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.
Now, hold up.
Isn't that against school policy?

All right, before we go, we've got to play another round of moral quandary.
I love this game.
I'm going to read the quandary, and then we each have to guess what each other will do in that situation.
Okay, so you're going to guess what I do.
I'm going to guess what you do.
Okay.
All right.
You're late for a job interview and cut off another car to merge onto the freeway.
This is you, Susan.
I know.
The driver flipped you off.
When you get to the interview, you quickly realized the person interviewing you was the
man who flipped you off. Do you say anything? I run up to him and say, oh my God, I'm so sorry.
I was late for this. Oh, please forgive me. Please forgive me. But when that does happen and I do
gotta go fast on the highway and somebody flips me off, I give in the peace sign or say,
I'm so sorry. Do you know what I do? I grew up in Boston. I'm a Boston driver. I can cut off
the driver with the best of them. But you know what I do when they yell at me? I roll down the window.
I smiled at the stoplight and say, have a nice day.
But I got to say, if I were in a job interview, you know what I would do?
Play completely dumb and pretend because it would just embarrass him.
He flipped you off, right?
Because you cut him off.
Yeah, but the driver flips you off.
You're going to go up and apologize and say, hey, jerk, you flip me off.
I'm sorry?
No, you're not.
No, I would apologize.
I'm going to play dumb.
No, I would apologize and say, please don't do that because, you know, people get killed for doing it.
that. And you know what, Susan? Can I just tell you, I'm the next interviewer and I get the job,
not you. All righty. Okay. Kathy, your best friend starts dating someone they are crazy about.
They can't wait for you to meet them. When you finally do, you realize it's someone you made out
with once at a party, but years ago. You doubt he even remembers. Do you say anything to your best friend?
if it were you no well if it were you i would say yeah i would say oh my gosh i kiss this guy
on a 16 i sure hope to hell he's learned something yes i would you know what because of the
words years ago that's a no-brainer yeah why not i mean i would not not say it and then
have the guy tell her oh my gosh your friend we made out in you know 12th grade or whatever
I'm sorry, if you made out with the guy when you were 16, that doesn't count.
Even if it counts, you're 60 years old, really?
I mean, first of all, I wouldn't even remember it.
But secondly, you know, come on.
If you can't get over that, how you're going to have a relationship.
By the way, Susan, the guy you're dating, I made out with him several years ago.
How was it?
He sucked.
I'm glad they didn't have a name to that because I'd be calling this girl going, really?
Okay, fire away.
Your daughter announces out of nowhere that she's in a thruple.
That's like a threesome.
Okay, I was just going to say, what's a thruple?
It's not nipple, it's a thruple.
And she would like to bring both her boyfriend and girlfriend to Thanksgiving dinner.
Do you say okay?
I'm going to say, are you sure they're okay with each other?
More the merrier.
really you're going to say that as long as the three of them are okay why not
well i'm not there to decide for her who's who what do you what about if your other kids don't
know well they're not going to say this is my friend sue table how do you know oh is that
what a thruple is i'm just saying i'd say honey you need to make up your mind okay here's
here's how this is going to roll susan they're all let me guess let me get what kathy'll say
None of you are coming.
I'm saying I'm not cooking, remember me?
There she goes again with the cooking.
Here's how it rolls.
You walk in, you go, John, here's my daughter, Louise, and her friend Joan.
I'm not really sure how they're rolling, but, I mean, come on in and sit down and have turkey.
Really?
You're going to do that?
I don't think so.
She doesn't know what she wants, the woman or the man.
So leave her alone and let her have Thanksgiving.
Susan, I'm bringing them all to your dinner.
I want to know who wrote these questions.
I'm telling you, I'm bringing them all to your house next Thanksgiving.
We're going to see how you roll with that.
I'll extend the table into the next room.
We'll fit them all.
You know what Susan's going to be doing?
Let me tell you all, I want to tell you, when I was at Susan's house,
she had lots of friends for dinner speaking of.
She made the best meal.
I swear, I am sitting in.
join this meal. Yeah, she knows what's coming. Literally, she's done. She gets up with the dustpan
and broom and then in a vacuum cleaner and literally is vacuuming. No, I didn't have the vacuum cleaner
out while the dishes before the dishes were done. I'm a neat freak people. I'm a neat freak.
No, she is literally, Kathy, lift your feet so I can sweep. Can I please have my last bite of mashed
potatoes, please? No, I have to clean, she says. So, you know, we'll see how you do. You could have as much
as you want. Yeah. We'll see how.
how you do with a thruple. You can't even handle
a dustpan and broom for five minutes.
Honestly, I didn't know what a thruple was.
Now I do.
You learn something new every day.
Uh-huh. Okay.
Okay. Well, this does it
for this episode. I'm going to go
get my thruple together
to go to Thanksgiving dinner at Susan's house
next year. And I got my broom.
And she's got a broom ready.
All right. Susan, we have one last question
here. Hey, Kathy and Susan.
My name is Cassandra.
I'm so obsessed with your podcast.
You guys are amazing.
Thanks, Cassandra.
I'm glad you like us.
We like you too.
I have a question about marriage.
So I've been living with my partner for almost three years now.
I'm 27.
He's 29.
And things are awesome between us.
We really get each other and have a great balance of closeness,
but giving each other space and enjoying our space.
I'm not in a rush to get married or anything, but I can totally see it happening someday.
My boyfriend is super chill and has a great family.
I, on the other hand, had a rough childhood.
Therapy helped me deal with most of it, but recently I've been thinking.
I grew up surrounded by only women, so I've never really seen a relationship up close.
So what does a marriage, a very long-term relationship look like?
how often do married couples talk on a daily basis and what do you think are the big things to
think about before tying the knot?
Okay, I go right off the bat here.
Go.
It's about you too.
It's not about where you came from.
You mentioned earlier how perfect your relationship was.
Once again, our three Cs communicate, babe.
Keep on talking to them and you should talk every day.
Maybe somebody's got a headache or not in the mood or had a bad day.
That's okay.
But share what you're feeling, share what you're thinking.
And if you guys are best friends now, nothing's going to change.
Just be honest and open with each other.
And make sure you have spontaneous sex.
Oh, geez, it's always down to sex with you.
So Cassandra, this question kind of gets home for me.
I was married a long, long time.
I also came from a pretty rotten, rough childhood.
And I will tell you that people used to say to me, oh, you can't possibly have a good marriage or
a good family life because you grew up in such a dysfunctional childhood.
I'm here to tell you you can have a great long-term relationship.
What does it look like?
It looks like loving and caring for someone, listening to them, listening to each other,
caring for each other, compromising with each other.
And the very fact that you wrote this question tells us you're already on your way to having a great relationship.
So don't worry about it.
I think you're already thinking about the big things.
And I wish you, Cassandra, and your partner only the best and the best of a marriage and or a long-term relationship.
I think you've got it all going on.
And I'm so happy that you found your perfect partner.
I am really excited for you. You've got this girl.
And by the way, wait, can I say, Susan?
If they want to get married, I happen to know a really good wedding officiant.
I'm here for you.
The Susan Knowles.
What is your wedding?
Nubtials by Knowles.
There you go. Can I just tell you, she married, officiated my son's wedding a couple of months ago.
She does a fabulous job.
So reach out to her if you want to get married.
She will make it the most memorable wedding.
ever seen. Thank you, Kathy. I love doing it. I do. I love love. We both love love. And you know what? I
love seeing Cassandra write this question because it tells me that you don't have to be a product of your
childhood if it was tough. You can learn from your parents' mistakes. You can build a great,
strong relationship. And that gives me hope for a future. And something you just said,
triggered something. Sometimes don't worry too much about it.
because it will make you not be you.
And he'll be like, what is wrong with you?
Like, why do you keep going on the negatives?
I don't want anything to happen to us.
You know, stay positive.
Enjoy this moment.
We don't know the future.
Yeah.
Believe it's going to be perfect and it will.
Yep.
Well, it won't be perfect, Susan.
But it'll be great.
Believe in yourselves, guys.
Believe in your relationship and it'll go well.
And enjoy it.

Ciao for now.
My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly and now I'm seriously suspicious.
Wait a minute, Sam.
Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit.
Well, Dakota, luckily, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon.
This person writes, my boyfriend's been hanging out with his young professor a lot.
He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her.
Now he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.
Hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That seems inappropriate.
Maybe find out how it ends by listening to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
