We are back for part two talking all things dating apps. Let's jump right back in. Here we go. So now you get past the pictures. All right.

Then we're going to write your bio. Ooh, baby. I've written so many. So what are the top things you should include, Susan? So first of all, don't be too wordy. Some of them are so long. I like the wittier ones, if you will. So do I.

I like to share what I'm looking for because that's what this is about. Yeah. You have to check off a box whether you want. long-term, short-term, just looking, haven't decided yet. Those are the checkboxes. I'm talking about the bio. Just what you write about yourself. What kinds of things do you write in your life?

The things that I enjoy and what I want in a person. I describe my personality a little bit, happy by nature, you know, love to laugh, want somebody that can enjoy a big personality, whether it's live music and dinner, a glass of wine, whatever. Okay, stop right there. At home. Everybody needs to hear what she just said because in those couple of sentences,

you said a lot about yourself. You like to cook. You like to laugh. You're happy. You like to be at home. You like to go out. That's the information you need to give to people, right? You need to tell them.

So, for example, if you're a home body, oh, that's something. Be honest, by the way. Don't say you love to go out and party. And you don't. And you don't. Because what are you going to attract? Party guy.

So be honest about what you are looking for. If you're looking to get married, say I'm looking for my permanent person. I'm looking for a spouse. Be honest about what you're looking for. Don't make it too long. And don't say too much. Yeah, you want to leave a little to question. So don't make it too long, but do give people enough to make them curious to want to know more about you.

Oh, by the way, back to photos. Make sure you're smiling in them. I know you'd think that would be obvious, wouldn't you? One would think. Okay, what about prompts? What do you think about prompts? Prompts? Like, what's your first, what's your ideal first date would be a prompt?

Oh, oh, oh, oh. It could be a cup of coffee. It could be. No, but what do you think, what should you answer? Not. I never clicked those. you never do whatever makes you happy

I don't care I'm trying to find one Kathy that I copied this guy it was years ago you copied his prompt no I mean his I copy I just love the words

he was so good it was funny he had such a good he was not for me but he had a great description of himself and he had humor in it he had serious in it it was just good well while you're while you're scrolling looking for it wait the i love the long walks in the park or the sand or wherever there's

water i mean come on really you know that's a lot i mean it's like okay what are some cringy like things when i what that you see that you avoid in a in a bio or in a profile Well, I have to get past the picture to read. Some of them are nothing at all. They don't write anything. Okay, but what is, when I'm looking, if the pictures are okay, and I start reading the bio, and it starts saying, you know, I've been divorced and I'm lonely. Oh, my God.

It's like, I just want to cry. I don't want to see you. You know, you sound like anyone that sounds negative, I'm not interested. it in. What about you? I don't do cringy. What do you mean by that? Oh, I know the ones. Here you go. Well, and this is, again, you got to pay respect where I respect the fact that he's honest. I am married, but have an open relationship. Are you serious right now? But I guess he gets women that are okay with that. It's to reach his own. Yeah. No. I mean, that's, that's, I'm not. that all right you're you're on the app you're ready to start swiping and chatting what are you

going to do we're using the app now susan what are the red flags to avoid when swiping i'd say one picture where it looks like they copied it from somewhere else on the internet what else a red flag yeah damn no shirt and tight something that show is bold like that's like disgusting to me Oh, there's a lot of them, a lot of them. Okay, well, I find red flags are when they, they don't, it doesn't match. Like, their pictures don't match what they say about themselves. A lot of them don't say much, though. I mean, there's so many.

Well, for me, a red flag is when there's not a match between the verbiage and the pictures. Like, you know, there's a guy out on a, on a sailboat, and he says, boy and lover i've literally had those i'm like really because did you see that picture you put out there here's one of the ones i used to have looking for a relationship in all phases i know what i want and what i'm looking for i like the instant mutual spark from the moment we met not into games i'm affectionate not afraid to show it wear my heart of my sleeve easy to talk to and i warm up quickly that's enough young attitude and spirit looking for the same it's good that's a lot about oneself though right that's well he just said what he or she whoever it is what they're looking for that's

music dancing beach and golf movies and culture let's meet and see if we click i love it and that's that was that was one of mine cath i like it what i thought it was you but i didn't want to ask what to look for in profiles like i want to look for some that has energy. I don't want, I'll tell you the ones I avoid when they say they prefer texting to calling or to, you know, face timing or whatever. Like, I want to meet you. We'll chat for a little bit on the, on the app, and then we're done. We're either going to meet or we're not going to meet. Yeah. Yeah. Do you ever send DMs? I don't have it anymore, but that guys were so humorous. Oh my God. Do you ever DM, Susan, once you've matched? Do you do it or do you wait for them?

Oh, I speak right out. No. Are you interested? Like, you know. You reach out. I'll send a message. I'll send a message. If I swipe and it's a match, I usually say hi.

Hi, I'm Susan, something like that. So I don't. So if I match with someone, like, if I click like and then I'll go, you're a match, I wait for them to reach out. You don't? Why? No. I don't know.

Just do. I'm old fashioned. I'll go high or I'll wave, you know, whatever one of those symbols are. It's just like a start. Like he obviously chose you and you just swiped and you chose him. I mean, say hello. I'm obviously doing something wrong on the apps because the guys that I meet on the apps sound tips.

Usually they sound interesting. And then I talked to them on the phone and I'm like, maybe. And then I meet them and it's like, mm-mm. So it's either me. I'm not sure what it is. That's why I'm not, I think that's why I'm not very successful on apps because I'm, I'm so particular. I don't like to talk all that talk on the phone.

Let's go meet. Whether it's just 10 minutes and a cup of coffee, do it. I don't care for it to drive by. I need eye contact and I can know immediately if there's chemistry. I don't want to waste your evening, nor do you want to waste yours or mine. So I like to meet for a short thing and then decide if you want to go. What's your typical date? I haven't had one quite some time.

No, no, no. Seriously, when you met a gone and out, what's your typical date? meat for a glass of wine or a cup of coffee i've met like when i lived in the city a stroll down on penn's landing you know just a few minutes and then we take it from there do you want to take it and go on a date okay but this is not a date that first meet is not a date to me it's just a quick half hour you just meet i've never done that i've always they always asked me for dinner or a drink and then they'll say, oh, I'm really enjoying you. Do you want to stay for dinner?

I've never had a... That's lovely. That's lovely. And if you're not enjoying them, do you stay for dinner? I mean, it's not that I'm not... I think if I'm being honest, it's not... The guys that I've met on the dating apps are, with very few exceptions, have been guys that are interesting and nice.

And I've dated a couple of them for a while, but I'm not really interested in them in long term. Well, in other words, there's no chemistry. Yeah, I guess that's what I'm saying. You know when there's chemistry, I know within the first five minutes. Something about his smile or his eyes or whatever it is without even knowing who they are yet. 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, 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. He 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 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. Hi, my name is Enya Umanzor.

And I'm Drew Phillips. And we run a podcast called Emergency Intercom. If you're a crime junkie and you love crimes, we're not the podcast for you. But if you have unmedicated ADHD... Oh my God, perfect. And want to hear people with mental illness, psychobabble. Yes, yes. Then Emergency Intercom is the podcast for you.

Open your free IHeart Radio app. Search emergency intercom and listen now. Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this. Attention passengers. The pilot is having an emergency and we need someone, anyone to land this plane. Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control. And they're saying like, okay, pull this, do this, pull that, turn this.

It's just, I can do it in my eyes closed. I'm Mani. I'm Noah. This is Devin. And on our new show, No Such Thing, we get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence. Those who lack expertise lack the expertise they need to recognize that they lack expertise. And then, as we try the whole thing out for real.

Wait, what? Oh, that's the run right. I'm looking at this thing. See? Listen to No Such Thing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you use. get your podcasts. My name is Ed. Everyone say, hello, Ed.

Hello, Ed. 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, podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. Oh, another thing for me is I do not want to be questioned to death, but I need you to ask something. Show some interest that you're interested in who I am or where I come from or what I do

or what I like when they sit there and only talk about themselves. I mean, so, so that's the whole thing about dating now. You know, we talk about doing the right pictures, having the right bio, having to be witty, having it be fun, having it be cute, not having it be too long, not too short, good pick, you know, all of that stuff. It's hard. It's hard. That's why we need a business on helping people. It is. It is. But once you've done all that, the dating apps are just, I hate the word, but it's true. They're sort of conduits, right? They help us date. But when you get on that first date, that's where I want, that's the next step. You know, that's like whatever step we're on, step four, step five, the first date with a person on the dating app, because that can be a make or break. If you, you and I talked about this, this guy that you met on a dating app. I mean, you've met several guys, so have I.

All they want to do is talk about themselves. They don't. Do you remember? So, okay, little story here. Remember in Florida? Let me tell you, we were in Florida. Susan met a guy on a dating nap. She met him. She forced my hand to go with her. I met this great couple who recognized me in the bar. So while Susan's talking to this guy, I'm chatting with this fabulous couple. He comes back to our hotel, sits in the lobby. Susan still demands that I stay with her.

Yeah, because I wasn't having fun. Yeah, this guy did not stop talking about himself. Did not stop. And finally, I looked at him when I, because I knew Susan was never going to see him again. and I was flying out the next morning, what could he do to me? I said, can I give you a little dating advice here? He goes, sure. And I said, all you've done is talk about yourself. You have not asked Susan anything about herself.

And I turned and said, what do you know about me? And what did he say? Couldn't he answer it? Well, he said, he goes, well, her picture, she kind of looks fun. Oh, yeah. Remember? You would look great on my arm walking down. And I said, what do you know about her?

And he said, well, I guess, wait, do you guys want to come over here and see my Facebook page? With that, I got up and said, Susan, I'm going to bed. Good night. I mean, trying to help the guy. So when you're on a first date, what is one? Listen. How about the ones that talk incessively about their exes? You don't do that.

You never talk about that. No, do not. Do not talk about your ex, whether it's an ex-husband or an ex-girlfriend. I don't care who it is. Just do not talk about it. And then some of them trash them because they're anger. They're bitter still. And that's a red flag. You don't need to be out here until you're ready to meet someone new. You don't come, don't waste people's time. Yeah. I told you the date that I went on. He was a lawyer. He had retired and he lived here in Austin. and all he did was talk about his deceased wife. That's it the entire day, right?

I finally said, you know, I really have to go. I need to go pray about my deceased husband. I mean, I have counseled people. I mean, just they're like a therapy session. He was like, thank you so much. I mean, I wasn't interested, but he was a nice person, and he was struggling. I said, can I just give you some advice? I felt like mother.

But do you think they took it? So when you're on that first date, make sure. sure you're a good listener. Ask the other person some questions. But don't question them to death either. Yeah, no, no, no, just asking you questions. Yeah, fine balance. Don't order the most expensive thing off the menu. I never look at the price. Well, you should. Why? Because are you paying for it? Now, see, I'm different than most because I'll pay. No, no, no, but if if he's not allowing you to pay and you don't know when you're ordering you. I don't know. I don't know. Oh, right. So I never ordered the most expensive thing.

When I am on a, I'm neat and we're having a cocktail, maybe some appetizers, and I know I don't feel a connection, then I'm going to insist on paying half the bill. Because why should he waste it? Yeah. A lot of people date for dinners, date for jigs. Right. Yeah, well, see, that's another point. You took, that was, that was step number six. Decide what it is that you want out. Once you've been on the dating apps, be honest with yourself. Are you looking for a hookup? Are you looking for a short term partner? A long-term partner? Are you looking for a spouse? What are you looking for? Because if you're dishonest, it's just like, you know, you say you're 5, 10, 130 pounds and you walk in and you're actually, you know, six feet and 280. That happens a lot for men. Men have shared about your height

and weight, right? Be honest about what you're looking for in a partner. Why waste anyone's time? Why? Including your own, because it's a waste of night. You'll probably be sad because he's not going to like you. And then I think, what do you think about deciding if you want a second date? What makes you decide if you want a second date? Chemistry, enjoy it laughter, like I'm having fun. I'd like to get to know you.

And most of them will say, would you like to do this again? And what do you say to most of them? If I like them, I'd love to. I'm saying to most of them you want a second date with? No. No, definitely not. I was so afraid you were going to ask me that I had to ask you first. But then again, Kathy, I haven't really been out there in a few years.

But I will tell you, you know, getting to know someone is not easy. I mean, really, it's not because, you know, people. But if there's a connection, it's so easy. Are they nervous on the first gate? Me, nervous? Anybody. Do you think people could be nervous on a first? date. I mean, so you can't really, but I don't know how to answer that because it's been around for so

long. I'm just saying if you go out on a date with some that you're really attracted to and then you meet them and you're all like, you know, hyped up. I don't know. I just, I just think the dating, people think you get on a dating app and you have all these guys. To me, the dating app is just, I hate the expression, the tip of the iceberg. It's like, okay, now you're on there and now you have to you have to call through all these guys and the ones that aren't. Don't you feel bad? It is like a job, like you said earlier. You get home and you have all these messages and you don't want to be rude and you've got to answer them.

And then you get the ones that it's like you're a pen pal for a month. Like seriously, dude, I don't want to be your pen pal. I've got another PSA for you. Now, I think you're going to disagree with me on the dating apps. I get this all the time and it just makes me want to just go, you know, goodbye, X. you know hi kathy how are you doing this evening that's okay it's boring but okay the next question how long have you been on this site and what are you looking for and i want to write back be as smartest go what's it to you i mean why how long you've been on here that's what i wrote that to

one guy well i get asked what do you think of this dating at so honestly i've never had that i would kill to get off of it. Get me off here. I'm just like, I don't know what the right answer is. I've been on 10 years. I've been on 10 minutes. Like, what do you want me to say? I'm off and on.

That's what I say the truth. On and off. And then what are you looking for? I want to say, I'm looking for free tickets to the ice campaigns. Why do you think I'm on this app? I'm looking for my best friend. My soulmate. Yeah, exactly.

I'm looking for dog water. I mean, see, I want to be a smart ass. I'm looking for a connection. Somebody I can vibe with. But then I think they think it's like, oh, she wants sex, a sexual guy. I don't know. Why? A connection is sex?

No, I don't think it is. But I'm always trying to think what are they thinking. Oh, so you overthink it. Who cares what they're thinking? Just do you. It's enough. It is enough. It's like great.

Let me get, wait, let's go down to now there's e-harmony. You don't get to see the picture. You fill out a form that is like. like nine million questions long and some of them I can't even answer because it's like I just but they match up personality okay and then they they can't know what my personality well it's from 1700 questions that's what they go by you know what I'm telling you know what I would write on that I was really young when I started this application but you've aged me with the 10,000 questions so now I'm Too old to date.

And that, okay, now let's go down to the paying ones. I've been on very expensive ones. They have background checks. You list your, what you want, okay? Yeah. It was in the thousands, okay? Wait, thousands. The first date, they had me go on.

You finally get the picture right before. Yeah. And I go, are you, excuse my French. Don't say it. Don't say it. I met that guy already on a free site. I just paid $3,000 and that's the guy that's taught. Are you fucking kidding me?

I was so mad. Did you meet him? No. I had already met him two years prior. So there are out. Wait, wait, let me finish. The second one. $3,000, the second one.

At that time, I wouldn't go out with anyone under six foot. Now I'm shrinking, so it doesn't matter. But I won it six foot. Definitely no children at home or in school. I don't want to raise anybody's kids. I don't want to help. Like, you know, if they're in college or something, okay. My next day, and we went to meet, okay?

Yeah. You're not ready. He had seven children, the youngest being six, all at home, lived on a farm in New Jersey, and was five foot nine what how did you match that hell that i pay you for nice this guy in the world how did you match with him i didn't match they they did it oh it's one of those side yeah no no so let me tell you i was on i i can't i don't want to say a name nice nice person i i stayed i hung out with them and all and you know i shared i was honest i hope you didn't eat all your meal because he needed the leftovers for his seven kids. I couldn't believe he had that many kids and lived on a farm

and Jersey and he was five foot nine. Why am I paying these people? He's probably a shaker. You know what? No, no electricity kind of people. Friday night, the kid, get out the candles. You don't drive a car until Monday. Oh, fabulous. Just your funny guy. I was like, I want my money back. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly and now I'm seriously suspicious. Oh, wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon.

as a part of the Michael Tura Podcast Network available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. I got approached. I'm not going to say the name of a company. Now, feature this. The guy knew I was on The Golden Bachelor. Oh, that's why I don't want to go on.

No, no, no. I didn't go on. It was, they called me and said, you know, it's a pay. It's a pay. And it's a, let me just say, I can join their website or I can buy myself a nice diamond ring. I mean, it's one of the other. He said, she said, he really wants to meet you. And, but, you know, one of you has to pay our very steep fee.

And I basically said, well, I'm not a hooker, so I'm not paying. You know, if he wants to meet me, you can be. But then I started thinking, Susan, on these websites, if he knew I was on the Golden Bachelor and you know I was from Texas, there's only one of me, right? There's only one person from Texas. So he couldn't find me? I was like, maybe not smart.

Yeah, no. I don't know. I think those expensive websites are, I think of your very high profile and you're, you know, a Hollywood level person. You don't want Tom Dick and Harry or Thelman Louise, you know, chasing you down. then, yeah, you can pay for it. But I'm not going to do that. I'm done.

I went on national TV to find love and still couldn't find it. I mean, it's coming. All right, so all in all. And once again, I rejoined and I had just recently, and the last week actually deleted the Tinder thing again. It was like, what am I doing? What am I doing? I did like it when I was away because you meet people where you're at.

Yeah, that worked. They met a very interesting person in St. Martin, as you know. We don't speak the same language. That was difficult, but very charming. And you met him on a dating now. Listen, folks, it'll be interesting to see where this one goes because, you know, this guy, Parley Boufrancée and Susan struggles with English. So it's going to be a thing.

But anyway, I think that the summary of the apps for me is, you know, can't expect miracles. you put your best foot out there if you decide to join them. Don't do three or four. Pick one or two. Take your time right. Pick one or two? Apps. Oh, apps.

I thought you meant people. No, pick one or two apps. Take the best pictures you can. Oh, the other thing is change your pictures frequently. Do as I say, not as I do. You're going to look stale from three years ago. You still have the same pictures up there. Exactly.

Change your clothes. Change your hair. your pictures. And then write the best bio you can. And then I really do think you have to trust your gut, you know, get to know them. Do we really have to talk about safety dating? I guess we do because all the apps on there talk about, you know, don't get, oh, here's my, another little tidbit of advice. What's a red flag for you, Kath? Hold on, wait. Let me just say get a Google phone number. I did that when I got on the apps. You know why, friends? If you, someone has your cell number, they can find out.

anything about you, where you live, everything. If you have a Google phone number, it's untraceable. And you know what? I give guys my Google phone number when I first talk to them. And I always know if it's a bad guy because he'll say, why didn't you give me your real number? Why did you give me a Google number? And I'll say, because I don't know you and I want to be safe and you can't trace this number. So if I decide you're safe and we go down the road.

But I would recommend that to everybody. We'd recommend it to me, but I didn't. do it. Because Susan likes to live on the edge. Yeah, too bad. They have all your information. They know where you live. They're knocking on your door.

Can you hear them? Knock, knock. It's not that easy, is it? It's that easy. Today, guess what? The whole world knows where we are. Yeah, well, I think, then why do you think the house? What's the first red flag?

Like, if you, like, my red flag was somebody that doesn't ask me anything about me. Do you mean on a date or on an app? Either. What would be a red flag on an app? that would be the picture that's where you go wrong the pictures are the red flags for me i mean i i i say you're going to meet somebody what's what's um if they come to the house if they come to the restaurant or whatever um and they're they're not gentlemen i'm telling i'm old-fashioned if they somebody that doesn't treat the waitress with respect oh if you do not teach a sir if you do not treat

a server well you're you're done so um i'm looking for that i'm looking for polite i'm looking for fun. I'm looking for someone who enjoys life, laughing. But a red flag is somebody who just talks about themselves or a deceased spouse or criticizes people or complains about their life. I mean, I want, like you, I'm basically a happy person. I want a happy person. Yeah. Yeah. Somebody similar and likes the things that I like. Yeah. But it is difficult. I mean, it's your first date or first meet, if you will. You're trying to share who you are and get to know who they are on all for me. It all boils down to is their chemistry.

Chemistry speaks volumes because if there isn't. Does that mean if they're, what do you mean? Does that mean if they're good kissers? What does that mean? No, before the kiss. If you're enjoying them, you like something about them, you want more. I usually know that within a few minutes, something charming about them that that's good to me. You know, and I cannot believe you said that.

I can't believe you said that because for me, I hate to admit to Susan, I, I suss it out pretty quickly whether or not I'm interested. I feel bad. I told you, I know in two minutes. Do you really, though? Yes. Can I call you on that? Yep. The guy you met in St. Martin that when I went with you, you turned around and said,

I said, you, he's cute. You went, I don't know, I don't think I'm feeling it. That's what you said. Well, you're feeling it now. That was the first two minutes. I didn't know. I couldn't understand a word he said. All right.

Listen, guys, this has been so much fun. Yeah, oh, she definitely feeling it now. He's a great guy. He's a great guy. Susan is going to a prong French. Learn for, I'm sure that's wrong. I wish it was Spanish would be a little easier, you know. They're both the same.

They're both romance. Like you saw, we had earpods in. We're trying to communicate by phone. And I remember like 25 minutes, 30 minutes in. I said, you know where I come from when you go to meet somebody, you make eye contact. I couldn't even tell you what color your eyes were. She starts living. Let me just say to you guys out there, we can't give up.

We have to be positive. Go on the apps. Get out, get off the sofa, try to meet people organically. If you're dating on apps, be yourself. Because you know what? When you meet the person, they're going to see who you are anyway. So get on the apps. And don't ghost people.

I got ghost it last year, I guess it was. That was like, and ghost it meaning stood up in my lingo, if you will. Be polite. If you make a date, show up. Let us know. We hope that this has helped you somewhat in dating apps, especially. Kathy, how about people that have never gone? on. Like, you know, the older generation, they've never been. We gave them step by step how to do

it. Just call us. We'll walk you through it. I thought we just did. It's been the last hour walking them through it. Where were you? But they're scared. They're apprehensive. Don't be scared. Everybody listen, it's, everyone is afraid going on a dating out. Be safe. Don't go to a private place, go to a public place, meet them for a drink. If nothing else, you got out of the house for a half an hour. Yeah, don't let them in your house the first time. Oh, Jesus. What, Susan? Don't let them in your house. Don't bring them over your home and for the first date. Did you really have to say that? Yes. Yes. You don't know. You don't know. But we can go on forever and ever on this subject. Let us know. We do want questions or advice about them. Or comments. Please. Yeah, please let us know.

Let us know because we are still, Susan half asked, but we're still on the search. and we're just hoping that everyone finds love because you know what don't ever forget every one of us deserves love we're all worthy of that and make sure submit your questions give us your comments you know what to do bachelor nation dot com slash golden hour or dm us on instagram at bachelor happy hour and we've really enjoyed this and we hope that you will listen to us on the iHeart radio app or wherever you can Get your podcasts.
