Okay, so it's time to get into the episode. Let's start with the question of the day. Kathy, it's all yours. Okay, Susan, I have news for you and Bachelor Nation. We're not doing the question of the day today. We're not? No, you and I are good bestie friends, right? Yes.

I know what you think, you know what I think. It is now time for you to tell Bachelor Nation what has really been going on in your life. So I'm going to let you take it away. Let me just say for everyone, before we get started here, Susan and I took, I feel like I'm writing a fairy tale here. Susan and I took a trip together. Nancy was supposed to come, but it ended up being the two of us to St. Martin Island in the French West Indies. And Susan, take it away. What happened? So I've been holding on to the secret for a little bit now. I did meet someone. And I know I've been talking about being single because I didn't know where it was going to go. I know what I felt, but wanted to make sure we were both on the same page. And I just have to share that we are. We were having fun and we're just seeing where things are going. And now I can honestly say he's the real deal.

I have found my person. Yay, she's let it out finally. Oh, my God. It's been killing me. I can't tell anyone. Okay, so tell everyone about him. So yes, Bachelor Nation and all you listeners, it was my turn. And thank God.

I mean, I went on national TV on The Golden Bachelor and it didn't work. And Kathy and I were having a fabulous vacation. One night, we went to bed. She was upstairs. I was in my room and I was playing games on my computer and I could not sleep. And I thought, you know what, what do I got to lose? I went on Tinder. See, everybody?

It does work when you least expect it. And trust and believe me, I used to be on all the dating sites forever. So I tried it. And I saw somebody. I swiped. And then I didn't get on for like three days, remember? Now, I remember. And sure enough.

by the way, I did not know. I had no idea. She had no idea. She had no idea. She had done this. We were going to the beach. We're going out having dinner. And then what happened, Susan? And I decided to check back in. And there was a message. And I was like, oh. So that was the fun part. Of course, he is French. And he speaks French. So when he asked for the first meet, I made Kathy come. So let me just say, he is from Paris outside of Paris. And his name is Frederique. Bordeaux, actually. Oh, Bordeaux, excuse me. I drink it. I don't know where the hell it is. Anyway, he just speaks very little English. He speaks a little more English than Susan does French. I speak enough French.

Yeah. I speak enough. So Susan says, you have to come. You have to come to this bar. And so literally we walked to the bar. It was a restaurant. Well, it had a bar. Susan's panicked.

She said, what am I doing? What am I doing? And he asked me to bring the earpods, remember? Yeah. He said, bring your. earpods because he's going to load a translation app on her phone. So we get there. I introduce them both to each other in French and myself. How weird is this people? Susan has got a date with a French man who doesn't speak English. She doesn't speak French. She's in there with her iPad with her

earphones. So we meet, we sit down and have a drink. Then what happens? Kathy leaves me and I was pissed because I didn't know what to do. So he takes my phone and he does this app and we're starting to talk and three hours in I said to him the real personality came out I said you know where I come from when I go on a date or first meet somebody I do a lot of eye contact I can't even tell you what color your eyes are I haven't looked up for my phone and so what I did because I was feeling very uncomfortable these two were head down on their phones trying to figure out this translation app I called Nancy from our season who is also our very dear friend I said, Nancy, I texted her.

I said, Nancy, call me. And she did. And I said, Frederique, Susan, I have to go. I have a very important phone call. That's how I got out of there. Thank you, Nancy. So they spent the evening together and had a great time. And the next day, then he called.

He was like, it wasn't like an instant. Because like I said, I didn't even look at him hardly. But there was something. There was a lot of chemistry. He walked me home after three and a half hours. Oh, wait, he had asked if I, we had a little appetizer, a couple of drinks, and he asked if I wanted another one. I said, no, thank you. I said, no, wait, you know what, may I have a Grand Juan Yee, please?

Well, he just, to this day, he makes me say, grand one, yeah, not even thinking. And he walked me home, he wanted to come in, but the rules are the rules. And can I just say that ended my vacation, because the next night, he wanted to go dancing, he wanted to go dance bichata. which is something I love to do. Yeah. Did I go with you? No, you wouldn't. Oh, my gosh.

Can I just tell you? My girlfriend here. I mean, what's the word I could do? Is a damper on things? The guilt, the guilt I was feeling. She was like, no, you're not going out with him. You don't even know him. You're not leaving me.

And I was like, Kathy, please, Kathy, please. And then what did I say? Finally, I said, just go. But don't bring him back here. This guy could be an ex-murderer in French. And he sent him out. message saying that the name of the place we're going, the address, and please come, you know, you'll have a good time, blah, blah, blah.

And it should be over around 11. There was a band, the live band, and it was the last time they were playing there. And he liked them. So that was the story. So 11.05, wait, 11.05, I get my phone and it's blowing up. We're coming off the dance floor. I'm sweating. And I see Kathy's message.

You said 11 o'clock. It's 1115. Where are you? So we did a video. friend, I just wanted to make sure you were okay. But meanwhile, one of the other friends that we'd met, Susan did feel very guilty about leaving me, but I think everyone will understand. I was not really excited about being a third wheel on their date.

They're using this translation app to talk to each other. So one of our friends in St. Martin had this reservation at this very expensive restaurant. So I went and we were dying laughing because Susan's out dancing. I'm at a restaurant having literally a nine. A 20-course meal. I have no. Susan said, how was the food? I said, it was great. What did you have? I said, I don't know. I don't know. It was good. It was little bites of the salt. So she's with the guy. The next day, what happens? Which day was that? Kathy? That was the third day. When I said to Kathy by the third day, okay, I know you don't want anybody in here, but he's coming in. I really like this guy, Kathy. Here are the two of them are. I think I posted this actually. You're trying to speak to him. She speaks in Spanish. She speaks in French. She speaks in French. speaks in English, and I remember the video, him laughing going, Kathy, Kathy, please, one language,

English only, English. So as I got to know him, I was much more relaxed with him. She loved him immediately. Yeah, what I honestly could see, don't cry, Susan, was how happy she was. She couldn't wipe the smile off her face. She kept saying to me, this, I've never felt this way about a guy. Susan tends to rush in to love. Susan loves being in love, which is great, don't we all. But she rushed into it with this guy. But once I got to meet him and talk to him, he was such a nice guy and genuinely nice to me. And I thought, okay, you know what? She might have struck gold here. Can I just tell you how romantic the French are? They need to give lessons to our men in America and the United States because the second trip I went, Kathy and I were supposed

to go to California with our friends to Palm Desert. And my girlfriend had had a heart attack and it was canceled. So now I come home and he's like, when can I see you? And I said, well, just so happens that my trip was canceled. I had the time off. I had the miles for an air thing. I said, I'll come back. But you'll have to help me find a place to stay.

He said, no, no, no, my darling, you stay here. I was like, oh, God. And let me just say to you. So we came back to the end of this first trip was that. that Susan spent every waking moment with this guy. And I was fine with it. You know, he came over when we left. But we, so we got home.

And Susan usually calls me in the morning and we'll chit-chat. And she's calling me and she sounds like something the cat dragged. And I'm like, what is wrong with you? She said, we've been on the phone until three in the morning. So she and Frederie. Skype. Every night we're Skyping with the translation. Can you imagine?

Until three in the morning. I thought, okay, she's in deep now. undeniable, just when you think it's never going to happen. I'm holding my breath. It happens, Kathy. 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. 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.

You found your love in paradise. If I get to go to paradise, I'm only hoping I find the love that you and Fraterique seem to have found. But can I just say, Susan's keeping the airlines and business here. What trip are we on now? Seriously, don't lie. How many times? Fourth or fifth. Since February, fourth trip back to St. Martin.

So when I was there and I fell, remember, I broke my hand. Was that the second trip? I think it was. Well, I remember him asking me to delay. It was the second trip. It was the leave. I was supposed to leave on a Saturday, and he made me, he begged, and I delayed it to Monday. It was St. Patrick's Day.

And we were going to a friend's for dinner. And, yeah, I fell that morning, so I had to stay past St. Patrick's Day. Right. And so they were going. on this romantic hike and they she fell and he was there for her he's i mean this is a man he takes care of you he takes care of her and be so romantic the things he writes to her at first when he wrote that remember what i said susan where's he where's he stealing that from what book he was quoting moliere which was a french author and i thought no he's just stealing this stuff he doesn't he doesn't really

right and how about him sharing that he never ever in his life told anybody that he was in love with this soon. Yeah. Yeah. No, this is truly a favorite town. And there was like 12 people there and they're all questioned them, all kinds of questions. And he doesn't speak English, okay? So he goes into the bathroom and writes this paragraph and translates it to English. And he says at the table, I have something to say. And he showed it to me first, of course. And then he read it. Well, there wasn't a dry eye in the place. I mean, he was talking. about how fortunate he feels that he met someone like me and how he loves me and everybody was like, oh my God.

It's true. I have to say, Susan has shared many of his missives, his love notes with me. And the guy, they are both smitten. You know, he wants her to move in yesterday. What is your plan, Susan? You're not, you know, how, what are you thinking? I'm going to go as often as I can. I, you know, I have business up here.

I do my thing. So maybe, I don't know, a few months in the winter maybe, but yeah, we see each other as often as we can. No, I'm still going on vacation with you guys. Okay, okay. Yeah, then I'll get on Tinder. You can see how it feels. I'm going out and dance and leaving you. And he's tall and he's handsome.

He is a bit younger than me. How old is he, Susan? He's 54. How old are you, Susan? 68. 14 years younger folks. Yay, you Susan. It works.

It works. It's just, we laugh. I mean, the laughter, he's as silly as I am, if you can imagine. And he cooks. Yes, he's a great cook. I mean, truly, the only thing, for those of you don't know Susan as well as I do, this is a guy who lives the island life. He has his own business, he works, and when he wants to take days off to go to the beach

or go surfing, he does that too. And ask Susan, I'll ask for the world. Hey, Susan, how do you like his house with the dog? The dog's not a problem. The hair, you know me. I'm a little, I'm a neat freak. I'll never forget day three because the dog hair and all. I'm like, where's the vacuum? Don't get angry when I ask this, but I need a vacuum and a mop. It doesn't bother them. In St. Martin, all the windows are up. There's no screens, you know. So it freaks me out. But I'm adjusting. Yeah. She calls me from St. Martin and we chit chat while she's there. And she said, Kathy, I have to clean. I said, Susan, you. have a broken wrist are you kidding she goes i can't stand the dirt i have to clean so if he can put up with your fastidiousness your need for clean this guy is a keeper that's all i'm saying because as people may or may not remember when i go to susan's house and i'm sitting eating at her kitchen table

she's sweeping underneath me i mean the crumbs are on the plate but she just wants to make sure you'd be so proud of me kathie i come a long way so he is but just he is a super duper guy very kind And it's so nice to see you so and love, Susan. It really is. His name is Frederique. And I'm taking French lessons. I don't think I'm doing very well. Well, you just started, Susan.

Oh, God. I've been on those apps for two months now. I know a couple words, but to speak it is a whole other story. I sound Spanish when I say French words. When you learn a foreign language, when you learn a foreign language, there's a lot of memorizing that goes into it. And then you'll understand. I know, but you can do it. You'll understand before you're able to speak it.

Just like a baby, right? A baby understands, a toddler understands. I can read it better than I can hear it. Reading and understanding it, and then you'll be able to speak it. At your wedding, I'm going to get, what is it not confirmed, ordained, that's it. And I am going to learn the thing in French and English. Oh, boy, I'm going to put the ceremony. You know what?

I don't know that I have to get married, but I would want a commitment when Do you want a ring? To bear shit in the woods. Susan wants a ring. Listen, tell me what you want. I know. We have a jeweler down there. That's right.

Wait, Jeffrey already said to him when you want, I'm ready. Okay, well, I just want everyone to know just how, we're going to get some more details. But I just want to say one thing. I know a lot of our fans out there are single. I have people email me just today I opened one. And pouring her heart out about, well, you got to go on national TV. So maybe that's a plus. I said, it doesn't matter.

I didn't meet anybody. It's been two years since our show. Right. But let me say, you know how I am a big proponent of telling people, you know, get up off the sofa, do something because they're not going to come and knock on your door. Susan was very lucky with Frederick. But you know what Susan did? She took the risk. She got on a dating app.

And, I mean, some would call it downright scary in a foreign country. country going to meet a guy, but we met in a public place. It all holds true. Susan put herself out there and that's what you have to do. You've got to put yourself out there and that's how she did. So now Susan, I have some more questions. Three days prior to that, I was whining to you. We never would meet anybody. And now I get to wine. And we were enjoying ourselves. Now I get to wine. But wait, I want to know, because the world wants to know, Susan, have you told each other you love each other yet? Yes, we have. Yes. Really? Yes. really i am i can't even explain this feeling i think he is everything i've ever dreamed of

the way he treats me and takes care of me kathy when i broke my arm i needed a shower the man showered me shaved my legs washed me i mean he took care of me like no other they don't make them like this i don't know where he came from but i'm blessed i feel you are blessed so you guys have or have not talked about a future. I know you've told me kind of, but what are you thinking for your future with him? I don't, I don't want to plan. I just want it to organically happen. You mean like the airplane tickets that you buy? What do you mean organically happen? What do you think a match of carpet's going to come and pick you up? What do you mean? But I plan to be there all the time as much as I can. And if not, I know he wants to go to Las Vegas and get married. But I didn't

have to sign the papers, he said. But it was a thing. He wanted to film it, and he was going to dress like Fred Astaire. But he wanted Elvis Presley there, so his friends in France would. And he calls me his wife. Well, that's a French thing you said, right? Yes, I had to look it up. I'm like, my wife. You are my wife.

Okay. You were easy. So wait a minute. I want to know, so you're not planning to get married right now. You're not going to spend full time down there, but you're going to try to go spend a couple of months there and then come home. Yeah. As much as I can. As I know you, that's going to turn into more time there and less time here, which is great because he has a guest room for me. So it's working out for me too. And he has two children. They're lovely. Okay, that's my next question. Have you met his children? Has he met your children? What's everybody? What's the talk? Only from FaceTime, but his son was there. His son will be there until the end of May.

Okay. And he'll go back to France when the weather gets nice. He's a surfer. And his daughter, just two days ago, he must have told her that I'm returning. Excuse me, I'm going down on the 27th and staying for 15 days. And she said, I come. I must, my father is in love. I must see her in person. Now, we FaceTime quite a bit, and she does speak a little bit of English. So I'm looking forward to having a translator.

So, wait, his children do speak English? A little bit. A little bit. So, okay, so you've met them on FaceTime. What about your kids? Have they met him on Facebook? Brittany has met him. My boys, not yet. They just know about them. So I take baby steps. Baby steps. My one son, Nicholas, at first, was like, Mom, what are you just going to go up and move? You're going again? And I said, Nicholas. When's the last time you came over here? Oh. You know? I haven't seen you in six weeks. You said that? We text. Think about it. I want to be happy. Don't you want your mom to be happy?

Good for you. And my ex-husband, you know, congratulations. I'm glad you're happy. Like, this is the last, what do we always talk about? The last chapter. And it's going to be, and it truly seems like it's your best chapter. I've never seen you smile so much and be so happy. And I truly, and I know that we all share that. We're just so, you know, so happy that you guys.

I want everybody to have this feeling. And I know I have been in love before. I was married, but it just feels different right now. Okay. Okay. How did you, so that's, boy, you're just reading my mind here. How do you know? How did you know? I mean, you've told me, but for everyone else, how did you know he was the love of your life? Because you've told me that was worse. The way he makes me feel and the kind things that he does and the silly stuff. I mean, we crack up. I'm crying, laughing, Kathy. I will say she facetimes me when she's in St. Martin and we chat. And, you know, I talk to Frederique. And he is. He does make her laugh. I mean, you two just sit and laugh. And I make him laugh.

Like, I have a question. You have a question. He cracks up. He is, it's hard to believe, but I can honestly say, for all you doubters, if there are any of you out there, I've never seen her like this. And even though I was a little nervous in a foreign country, when she said, come on, Kathy. We're going on a bar. A lot. It's because I love you.

You're my friend. I want you to be safe. And, but I have to say. I would have to say. I would have on the date with Kathy and the guy. That's the difference between Kathy. You would have or not? Yeah, I definitely wouldn't.

Oh, please. It's dancing. I love to dance. Yeah, Susan. If I go on a date with a guy, I am not. I am not asking you out on the date with just saying, if I find the guy. I didn't. He did.

He wanted you to feel comfortable. He was worried about you. I know. That's how good of a man this man is. What did I say to Fraterique? Do you have a brother? Yes. I did. You have a brother?

So I think that, I think that I could not be happy for you. We're going to get some more details in a few minutes here. We've got some other things we want to talk about. But I just, we all wanted Bachelor Nation to know another love story, another, you know, you didn't meet him on The Bachelor, you're not going to Paradise. But Susan, I am telling you. Paradise is to fall in love. It's about hope, about finding your person.

And I was for it. If I get to go, if I get to go, you better start crossing everything you can cross for me. Do you hear me? You got it, baby. You got it. And I'll tell Frederique to do the same. Thank you. And can I just talk about the luggage?

Please. All right. Later on in the episode, I'm going to share with you another great quality this man has. He's got so many good qualities. She can't stop talking. She's in love. You open the can't You open the can of worms now.

All right. Everybody out there, there's hope just when you least expect it because I stopped looking and was enjoying my vacation with my girlfriend. And I do love St. Martin. I've been there seven times. Well, not counting the last four, but I go every year. And now, whoo. Here we go.

Here we go. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly. And now I'm seriously. 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? 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. 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?

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.

We talked all about what's viral and trending with a little bit Chisement, a lot of laughs, and those amazing Vibras you've come to expect.

And, of course, we'll explore deeper topics dealing with identity, struggles, and all the issues affecting our Latin community.

Listen to the new season of Grasasas Come Again as part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the IHartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Okay, Susan, let's get into our fan question for today.

This one is from Carrie, and it's actually an audio submission. So let's play it now. Okay. Hi, Kathy and Susan. My name is Carrie, longstanding Bachelor Nation fan and love the Golden Bachelor series. Go, Gary. My question is actually for the both of you. So you talk a lot about on your podcast that you're looking for the right guy.

and, you know, wanting to get into a relationship. You also have been doing a ton of publicity and promotions and TV shows and podcasts and so much fun travel and opportunities that have presented. So my question is, if you do find the right guy on all levels, relationship-wise, your families are meshing, and they really wanted to focus just on the relationship and settling in around your home area, obviously traveling together, but taking a step out of the limelight and not doing so much publicity, what would you do? How would you approach that situation? Thank you.

So this is a great question, Carrie. Thanks for sending it in. And it's so time appropriate right now after Susan talking about her new love, Frederique. So Susan, what do you think? How would you answer that? So what I picked up on immediately was in your hometown, in the same town. Mine is a long-distance relationship.

And we've had many times talked about such things, whether we thought they work. so on. That was the first thing that hit me. So it doesn't matter where they live, not in the beginning. So I think what she's asking, would you take a step away? No, why should I? I still do my thing. I mean, I take a step away from dating, of course, but not to limelight. This is my business. This is what I do. I love my podcast. I love Bachelor Nation people. I love everybody that listens to us. And if there's another show that comes up, like my Got to Get Out show that just aired, I'm having a ball in my life, my last chapter, and I met my man. So you don't think it's, I mean, I personally, we've talked about this, you and I, not on air, but I'm not really

the same way. I think if I met my guy, I, that's my goal. I still would want to do the podcast and stuff, but I don't think I'd be, I wouldn't do a TV show. Well, I might do a TV show. I'm saying it wouldn't be my first and foremost. The man in my life would be first and foremost for me. I'd want that relationship with him and I'd want with his kids and my kids. I mean, that's the companionship. But our kids are adults now. My grandkids, I'm saying I would want.

And I'd want to spend time with him. Yes, absolutely. But when you do a show, you're not gone forever. Well, I mean, you were gone a month on the show you did last year. and Bachelor was a month and, you know, if I'd get to do Paradise, that's a month. So I'm just saying it's a lot of time to be away, but I get it. It's a career, and I think at our age, there's room for both. What would you do and how would you approach that situation?

If you find the right person on all levels and families are great, everybody's going to do what they do. Everybody has a career or a job. So you make it work. No, I absolutely wouldn't walk away from it. Well, I think that's good. I think one thing, though, that Carrie didn't say, but I would say to you is you have to consider someone else now, right? You can't just make decisions. Well, you obviously have a conversation, yes.

Right. And so do you think it's possible that Frederick would ever say to you, hey, Susan, you're gone too much? I need you hear more. I do not because I had the conversation with him. He would be okay with me gone to do work, yes. Okay, well, I think, I think, Carrie, if you're struggling with it, I think you need to have a conversation. Yeah, you need to have, I was going to say, you need to have the, we're glad, by the way, that you're a longstanding fan of Bachelor Nation and Golden Bachelor Series. Thank you.

And I think if you are in that situation, I think Susan makes a good. point, Kerry, which is if you're in the same hometown, it's a lot easier to maneuver. But you can navigate a long-distance relationship. It just takes planning and communication, right? And I'm here to tell you how it's going to work, step by step. I was just wondering if it could present a problem if he wanted you there and you couldn't be there. But I guess you're right.

You just communicate, talk it out, figure out, both compromise. Those damn sea words, Susan. There they are again. I'm telling you, we love those. We love those. All right. Are you ready? In the vein of vacation and island life, we're going to play a game today called Deal Breakers Vacation Edition. It's going to be so fun. Okay. So I'm going to read the prompt. We're going to decide if the hypothetical is enough to make us pack our bags and call it quits or if it's fixable. Okay. So I'm going to read the first one. Okay. And there's a story about this one. I can hardly wait to get into it. Ready? you're on vacation with your long-term boyfriend.

Is it a deal breaker if he refuses to carry any of your bags? First answer that. I see where you're going with this. My boyfriend ran. Would he carry your bags? Yes, he would. Yes, he would. And he carried yours.

Kathy forgot a piece of luggage when he took us. No, he didn't take us. He was saying goodbye to us. We go off to the airport. We drop off the rent-car. counting our bags because we each bought another suitcase because we bought so many clothes. And Kathy goes into full panic mode. And ladies and gentlemen, when I say full panic mode, I thought I was going to take her to the ER.

This woman was dying. Oh, my God. It was her biggest bag. So we call Frederique. He's already home. He leaves his house, goes back to where we were staying, which is 15 minutes, then drives all away across the island to give Kathy her luggage. And let me just tell you, we are sitting in the rental car place.

She wouldn't move. I wouldn't move. And the woman's like calling Frederique, speaking in French, she's like, I will go get it. What happened was, Frederique being the gentleman that he is, carried all our luggage down. I started to carry the luggage and he said, oh, I've got it. I'll get it, just get in the car. I don't think he realized that there was another one at the top of the stairs. No, it wasn't.

He told me it was in the guest room still. It was still in our guest room. It never even made it out. Oh, even worse. Anyway, yes. So not only would it be a deal breaker if he didn't, this is a man who drove on the island to get Kathy's suitcase. We love you, Frederique, if you're listening.

Much gracias. Much gracias. He'll laugh at that. Say it in French now, Kathy. Merci, Bucco. And now say it in English. Thank you very much. Okay.

All right. He sighs dramatically every time you ask him to take a picture of you and he only takes one or two. Well, I'm so that you and I are different. For me, you know, people get, you ask someone to take a picture and they take like 46 like shutter thing is just flying for. I'm like, why are we doing this? I now have 40 pictures of the same scene, the same look. Frédique, though, he's like you. He likes to pose for pictures.

Yes. We do selfies all the time. We film us dancing, yes. So I don't know that that wouldn't be a deal breaker, though, would it? No. I'll tell you, my husband did not like taking pictures. He was like, take it, just take it. Like, he was one of those.

He refuses to try any local food and only wants to eat at chain restaurants. Oh, no. See you later. By, I can't do that. That's a deal breaker there. Yeah, that might be a deal breaker. I like to go. When you and I have gone to St. Martin, we go to different restaurants.

Remember every night? Every night we try something different. Unless I cooked. That's true. But like the island shrimp is different. Like you have to try, you have to try the cuisine of the place you're visiting. Absolutely. You have to.

All right. How about this one? He dedicates two whole days. to watching sports in the hotel room. Ah. Would that be a deal breaker? So my life was sports with my ex-husband. If it were during the World Series, I might understand, or, you know, in football, but.

So, wait, I have to tell you, when I was dating a guy, I think I've told you the story, we went to Florida. We got to Florida. we were in the hotel room and he brought his computer and it was like a suite we had so we had like a small kitchenette in a dining room

and a living room and a bedroom and he set up his computer in the dining room Susan he never left the hotel room I mean for meals he did it was am I still with him it's like he just wanted to be on his computer

He refuses to plan any part of the trip and just goes with the flow. That's perfectly fine with me. So that's so funny. You said that. You like to plan trips. Do I? No. I don't.

I will go with the flow girl. But is it a deal breaker if you won't plan? No. No. But I'm saying I love to go on a trip and have someone plan it. Because as I've said to you, I'm just so grateful to be wherever it is. that I'm happy. Like I'm doing, whatever I'm doing,

it's not something I would do at home. Like our cruise degrees. Speaking of, we need to get tickets for the Acropolis. Okay. I got to just, just a note itself. All right. He makes you take three different buses instead of calling a cab to save money.

Deal breaker. Yeah, I was just about to say, Susan or I, we're not getting on a bus, and we're certainly not taking three buses. It is absolutely not. Okay. He jokes about proposing in every romantic setting with no intentions of actually doing it.

Asshole. Can I tell you? Can I tell you? See, all these things have happened to us. My daughter, when she got engaged, she would go hiking with her now husband. And Johnny would bend down all the time walking with their dog And she thought, oh, this is it.

He's going to propose. He did it like six times on different hikes. When he finally got down on one knee, she didn't believe him. She thought, here he goes again. So, yeah, I mean, he actually, I think that was cruel. But I don't know. What would you do if Frederick did that? I don't think Frederick would do that, but I don't think it's a joke.

No, I would have a problem with that. Yeah. I would have a problem with that. Yeah, definitely. All right, no matter what plans are in place, you will not get out of bed before 10 a.m. That would be annoying. But some people like to sleep in.

It depends on their work schedule. But if there's a plan in place and we have to be somewhere and he refuses to get up till 10, that means he's not ready to 1130. No. Susan, the SSS, blank, shower, and shave. Men are in a house. They're in and out. They don't need an hour and a half.

That's you. They need coffee. I mean, come on. All right. He keeps trying to hang out with other couples every single day of your trip. Oh, no. See, I like people. I don't mind, but not every day.

Well, I think it's, don't you think if you're never alone together, I think that's a, that's kind of could be a red flag to me, actually. Right? Yeah. I mean, that's during the day. So maybe when they go at night, they're alone then. I don't know. And that means like he doesn't just enjoy your company. That's how you start feeling. He has to have others. Although I'm all about other people. Like Frederick's the same way. We like people. But you don't want to be with other people all the time. But you know what I'm realizing, Susan? You know what I'm realizing? What? Like all these questions. now like we're on opposite sides of the table fence whatever you want to call like you can say well yeah it doesn't really it doesn't have anything to do with me because i have frederic and i'm in love and i'm going well if i had a boyfriend it's not fair wait did you or did you not okay i'm going to put you on the spot for a second did you or did you not text my boyfriend and tell him we're coming out with the news today i did and what was his response So you've got to know.

Frederique, he's such a nice guy. I said, I texted him and I said, Frederick, Susan and I were outing her relationship today. So it's all over. You're now official. And he sent me a dancing emoji of a guy doing a happy dance. Like, that's all he had to say. Like, it transcends language.

We didn't need to write English or French. He's just, he's so excited. So you know what? I texted him too. He said, what matters is what you want. my love do what you want for the best i love you how cute you want is for the best whatever i want whatever you want i mean i died and went to heaven there's got to be something can we just clone him please listen could you listen here's the deal if i go to paradise i want you to round up

tell him he's got so much time to find a guy send him to paradise actually his best buddy julia and is looking for somebody. However, the age gap is way too much. He's too young. I know. Well, says you who's dating a guy 14 years younger. He's 40, Katz. Oh, 40?

Yes. Yeah, no. I have a son who's 40. No, thank you. Exactly. All right, well, while Susan is falling in love, while Susan is planning her next trip, and believe you me, there is one, Susan is single-handedly keeping American Airlines in business.

They, she gets a board now and they go, hey, Susan, how's Frederique? You're going back for another visit, aren't you? While you're doing that, Kathy is just praying, hoping, and waiting for Mr. Wright to come into her life. And let's everybody out there give a special thought, put it out to the universe that Kathy finds her person. Please, please. That would be sorry. Okay. Well, that is going to be it for today. Thank you to all of our listeners. Susan, thank you and Frederique, but thank you for letting the world know how happy you are. I wish everyone could see your face and your personality because you can't stop smiling and I love to see my good friend. It's a beautiful feeling. It really is. And thank you
