so excited to be here. I feel like we have not had a chat since like the wedding. I know. Okay. So catch us up. I want to hear about your life, your health. I know you've been traveling the world. I want to hear if you've had any international dates.

Come on. Give us the good. Yeah, that's a good one. So many things to update. Well, starting off, I right now have a pickline in my arm. I've been sick. for like two months. I had a kidney infection. A kidney infection?

Yeah. And it spread like through my back. Like it's pretty messy. So I'm like, it was like when I went to the hospital. But it's gotten so much better. But it's still not gone. Okay.

Can I just be stupid for a minute? Is a pick line how they give you the medication? Yeah. So the, I guess, what is it? IV thing, it runs like through my up here. It's like all the way in my chest somehow. I just don't get it. I know people can't see you. This girl is so beautiful. She has on a fabulous off the shoulder black dress and her pick line covering looks like, you know, some beautiful white

glove that she just added. That's what it looks like. It just looks like you added something for the effect. So you are better. Let me ask you this. What? gave you an idea that you had some kind of infection. Was it something bothering you, painful, or just routine checkup? How did you find out? I thought I had the flu, which is insane. I was like all the symptoms of the flu, fever. COVID, right?

Yeah, she was like, I think you have a kidney infection. And I went in and I did. So they put me on antibiotics. I was on those for two weeks. And then my fever spiked again. And they were like, you need to go to the ER right now. And then I was in the hospital for a nine day. Are you kidding?

I was in a room with like 20 people the whole time. I never had my own room. I was just in the top area. I mean, Rachel, I'm just going to go with you are the first woman I've ever heard who talks about a hospital like it should be a resort. I didn't have my own room. I didn't have room service. I mean, you were there to get well, girlfriend.

And I'm glad you are. I'm just laying in my back. Like having to ask, every time I had a pee, I had to ask. Like, get, like, deconected from my IV. Jesus, I'm glad you're feeling better. Thank you. So, wait, have you been traveling then? Are you traveling?

So I was traveling a lot before this. I was in Asia. I did some sea turtle stuff, not with Blake, but because of Blake. I've met people through him. So that was really fun that I got to do that. I've been in England with Jill Chin. who is on my season of The Bachelor. So I've been, like, traveling around a lot,

which has been a lot of fun. Are you dating? See, I'm going through something right now. I'm just, like, I don't want men to speak to me right now. Like, you know, I did. I've been trying to get myself out there. They say, you know, you're supposed to give everyone a chance. And I'm like, I'm just, no one talk to me right now.

You know, it's okay. I totally understand. Listen, if you look that good, if you look that good with no. and talking to you, you know, maybe you're on to something here. I know, and I'm like, you know, I'm going back to work. I started flying again. I flew over the Bachelor Mansion right

before Jones, like, first day. Oh. I got to see all, like, the production set up. It was so cool. Brings back a lot of memories. So many. I'm sorry. I missed it. Why were you flying over the Bachelor Mansion? I, so I'm a pilot and I'm going back to work.

And I'm working in L.A. So I got to fly over the mansion, which was, it was so cool. I know I've read this, but help me remember, you fly private pilot, right? Or you're a private pilot? So I'm an instructor. So I will, like, teach people to get their pilot's license.

Nice. Wow. Okay, so I'd like to do that. I would too, but really. I'll teach both of you. Why don't we sign up for lessons, Kathy? Oh my God, I'll do it. Susan, I'm in.

When we were on The Bachelor, I wanted, I told the producers in one of my interviews, I want to jump out of an airplane. I haven't done that yet. So here's the thing, Rachel. I'll fly, you jump. Yeah, I don't think I want you. You'll turn the engine back and whip me with a wing. No, I'm going to let Rachel do that.

I'll fly. We'll record an episode in a plane. Yes. And then you jump. Let's do it. Okay. I'll wave, Cass. I'll wave.

No, you're coming with me. We'll come down and land and pick you up. Now, we're doing a tandem, Susan. You jump. Yeah, that's right. We're jumping together. Those who jump together, Susan. I want a big, strong man behind me.

Yeah. Listen to me. Rule number one, those who jump together, stay together. Oh, God. Here we go. All right. I have a question. I have a question.

Obviously, all three of us have had breast reductions. Well, it's not obvious. No, because I know you did and she did and I did. So it's obvious to me. You have. Yes. And I'm ready for my second. I'm ready for my second.

I want to know. why if it's the same reason guys i will up you one breast production and add in a breast lift i'm just saying so i had a breast reduction done uh in when i was about i don't know 30 something um and i wore a bra that ended in h and people like in h i was like yes huge horrible horrific and then they took me down to a normal size and then God's cruel joke. They grew back. So why are you doing it? Same thing. And I told my doctor, too, which no fault of his, I think it's just our bodies, like women who just are naturally larger chested. I was like, I want to go as small as I can't. Like take me down to like a B cup because I know they're

going to grow back. How big were you, Rachel? How big were you? I was probably a triple B. And I'm triple D? That's what I am now. You were a triple D. I was a triple D five foot two. too. Like they were just like putting my back. I was in so much pain. I was like, I cannot do this anymore. Take me as small as I can. And when I got them done, they were like great. I think they were like a seat. How long ago? It was a year ago on March of 23. Oh no. Wait a minute. They can't grow back that fast. You got to start taking vitamins. No, you're doing something. Said antibiotic. Because I've been losing weight. I've lost like 15 pounds since I got them done. And I've seen pictures. Not only have they grown back to the point that like my

bras don't fit, they're uneven. One's like way big. Oh no, wait. Listen, this is a whole different conversation. Rachel, Rachel, you can sell this story. Like this is Ripley's, believe it or not material. I don't know how it happened because they save you gain weight hormones, which I'm like, okay. But I lost weight and they. No, I did too. Rachel, when I had my breast production done, I was probably 30 pounds heavier than I am now. And when I lost weight, mine, I mean, they just, but it, at Susan, I don't know about you, but at my age, like, you know, when you're a kid, your boobs begin where they're supposed to. But when you're our age, they begin up under your chin.

It just all starts falling into your bra cup. So wait, let me tell you a short story when I went to the plastic surgeon and he said, well, what is it you want? I said, well, I don't mind if I fail the pencil test. I don't want to hold the remote control. anymore. And he looked to me like I had two heads. I lift them up. Shrink them and lift them. So what do you do? That's that was, I like that. I hate brawls. They cut me in my shoulder. They're annoying around my, I just hate them. So yeah. What are you doing it, Rachel?

Well, so I haven't scheduled for it next month. I was supposed to do it this last in June, but then I got sick and I was on antibiotics. So we had to like reschedule. But, my surgeon telling me like, yeah, like you could use the revision. I was like, they really did grow back, which is crazy. Like my hormones. Yeah, my hormones must just be like very, I'm getting those checked. I was going to say. Yeah, it's been insane, but hopefully this will be like.

This will be the one. As small as they can go. And then if they get back. For 10 years, nine years at least. Yeah. I'm like, I will do this as many times as I have to if I never have to feel that pain again. I want, well, Rachel, I think we need to discuss this because now that, you know, we're all three in this together, I think we need to do for one. Well, three for one.

I think, here's, I've got it planned. What do you think, Rachel? All three of us get it done. We hire a nurse to take care of all of us. We all heal together. Then we go up and fly and jump out of the plane. Good plan? I think that's perfect.

I think we also should get a vacation when we're healing. Yeah. Like we should be. Yeah, we're going to go somewhere. Cool. Yeah. Yeah. Somewhere where you don't need to wear a bikini.

I'll be topless Can I just Can I just tell you We were in St. Martin And Susan It was Nancy Susan and I We were in St. Martin last year We're going back again this year.

On the French side. Let me just tell you I'm a go along to get a long girl on vacation Because I feel so grateful to be on vacation I don't care where I am Susan is Well, it's got to be topless I'm like really Susan

No it's got to be the French side Because I'm topless And I'm like It's not that nice to look at. They want to go on the Dutch side. Nobody's topless. Really? Listen, I could go on the Hebrew side and I'm not going topless, okay?

It doesn't matter. After Rachel brings you to her doctor, you may just. Yeah. When we all three have been lifted and up, we're going to the topless side. All right. You know what? I'm going to change the subject completely. I have a really serious question.

You ready? Yeah. Do you believe in second change? in relationships. Well, she believes in second breast reduction, so I'm guessing she believes in second chances. I do. I do.

It depends, though. When? When is it acceptable? Tell us. When is it possible? When is it not possible? I think there is, I think the right person wrong time is a thing. I think there are a lot of people I dated that at the time they might have not been ready.

I might have not been ready, but later in life, we could have been very compatible. But I think if something went really wrong or if there was a big red flag, then maybe no second chance. Right, right. Have you ever given a guy a second chance? I've never dated someone twice, but I've been willing. Rachel, that's called a second chance. Yeah, I've been willing to. Oh.

I've had people where I would have dated them again. Like even like Jordan in Paradise, like we went on a second date and that really was like a wrong timing type thing. We ended up obviously not being right for each other but I think there is beauty and like realizing that that wasn't the right time. I never envisioned 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, 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 Yumanzoor. 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 iHeartRadio app. Search Emergency Intercom and listen now. A foot washed up a shoe with some bones in it. They had no idea who it was.

Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire that not a whole lot was salvageable. These are the coldest of cold cases. But everything is about to change. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime. A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA. Using new scientific tools, they're finding clues in evidence so tiny you might just miss it. He never thought he was going to get caught, and I just looked at my computer screen.

I was just like, ah, gotcha. On America's crime lab, we'll learn about victims and survivors. And you'll meet the team behind the scenes at Othrum, the Houston Lab that takes on the most hopeless cases to finally solve the unsolvable. Listen to America's Crime Lab on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. So we've got a few questions here. And we're going to get into it. And Susan and I are known for digging deep. So buckle up, okay? I'm ready. All right. What was it like to start dating again after getting engaged in it not working out?

I think I've been thinking about this one a lot recently because I'm not dating. I haven't really seriously dated since my engagement. And I think being on the show, it taught me how to date different people and give different people chances. but I realized that like I can have very intense feelings and I think when I don't feel that on the outside I'm kind of just like I know you're not the one because I know what it feels like to really love someone from the show so it definitely has hindered dating a little

just because I know I'm capable of feeling a certain way wait a minute wait a minute I'm a little confused or call it digging deeper pick your poison here Is that because of meeting the concept of the show, the intensity of meeting someone, you know, so quickly and getting into it, if you will, so deeply and quickly on the show that you get those feelings that quickly? I think getting the feelings, yeah, it's just getting to know someone and then realizing you really like them, you feel strongly for them quickly, I know that that's possible for me to feel those feelings. and if I'm dating in the real world and we've been dating for three months and I'm not getting a feeling that I've gotten

like on a second date with someone I'm kind of like, okay, I know you're not the one because I know I can feel those feelings. You know what she says, Susan? Yeah. You know what Rachel says? She says, I've had two days with this guy.

He's boring me. Calls up her doctor and says it's time to schedule the surgery. No, seriously, it's called chemistry. Sometimes you're really attracted to somebody and you want to know everything. You can't wait for that first kiss. Right. Right.

And sometimes I feel like you're just dating because it's like, oh, I need to give them a chance and let's see where it goes. But when you let it go for so long, you're like, okay, I know I'm capable of feeling more and I'm not feeling it here. So where's your ideal to meet a guy? Where's your ideal place to meet a guy or the eye?

You've dated a lot. So what's the best place to meet somebody? I mean, it has to be in person at this point. So no online? I'm not on any of the apps. I'm not online. I love, like, meeting friends of friends, like people who they could vouch for. Like, oh, I have a friend that you would love.

I've loved dating that way. But mostly, I think, just in person. What about on reality TV? Would you ever do that again? Not even just Bachelor, any. kind of reality TV dating show. I am the expert at dating. See, I would say enough.

Okay, I've done all three. Maybe. That's right, Kat. We are trailing here. We need to, what about golden paradise is what I'm talking about. Literally. I mean, listen, I have got two orange juice cans and string, and I'm trying to contact Joan. I'm really working hard at it.

Send them our way. I bet you're having the best time. I'm so excited to one. Can you not see how Susan and I are green with Envy? Can you not see it? No, I just want to meet all the people that were on the show. I know you guys will be able to date all the other guys. Yeah.

She can only have one. That's right. That's right. Yeah. Well, theoretically. So everybody out there, we all would do another reality dating show. I would do another one. I would.

I need to see you guys on Golden Paradise. Yes, I like that. Wait, wait a second. I'm not wearing a bikini, Rachel. It's not happening. Breast reduction or not. You know what I want to do at my age? I want to go to a doctor and say,

and it's got to be in L.A. because that's where they are. I need a doctor that starts at my kneecaps, pulls everything up. A mommy makeover. Like panty hose to the top of my head, ties a knot, cuts it, stitches it down. We're good. Okay, first of all, absolutely not.

You guys look amazing. For just for compliments here Idea what if we do Something like maybe not tropical paradise But it's like you guys go somewhere like Alaska And then you can do really nice like furs Oh I like that We could hike it Susan in our muckalucks and our fur coats

And we'll go hiking and we'll twist an ankle and help help And you guys can cuddle up in little like We could go out to Yellowstone even Yeah we could look at for polar bears we could you know Susan our luck grislies would come after us we'd be dead and to be honest in paradise we're sweating and we're not doing that no we're not doing that no they couldn't do that to the goldens we're too old for that sweating yes I agree all right here's another one what's the hardest part and the best part about being single right now

for me yes I'm really excited that I'm really excited that I I'm able to go back to work, kind of refocus. I feel like my entire life for the past three years has been, like, dating. Oh, poor baby. Do you want sympathy here? Really? Susan, is your heart bleeding for the poor thing? All she's had to do is date for three years.

Just dating. Can you believe it? I didn't even get one, okay? I was on the show and didn't even have a date. Yeah. Oh, wait, Susan. I am datable. Wait a second.

Susan at least got a piece of quartz. You know what I got? Here's the door. Here's the curb. It's been nice knowing you. So I don't want to go there. Let's move on. We want to redo.

I happen to be in paradise, but literally, yes, redo for all of us. Thank you. I'm just excited to go back to work and kind of like normal life. Okay. So that's the good part. That's the bad part. The bad part of not dating. Of being single.

The hardest, hardest part, I should say. Of being single. Honestly, I feel like right now I'm, I'm really am preferring it, which is bad. It's not hard at all. I know. I'm like, I'm loving it. Cooking for one or not cooking. Oh, my gosh, not having to update someone all day on what I'm doing.

Answer to them. Yes, I'm no one speaking. I'm in bed at 4 p.m. because I want to be. I know, Rich, we love you. We want to be you. We love you. I'm just, I'm over it at this point. So it's the best.

Oh, trust me, honey. Don't be over it. You've got a long way to go. Maybe not. Maybe no. We'll see. So, Rachel, we have a bunch of fan questions. Wait, wait.

I want, Susan, can I ask one more question? Sure, sure. I realize you haven't found the one, but I'm always interested in dating and advice. What's the best dating advice that you have ever received? I'm just curious. People ask me this all the time, and I'm like, I am the last person. anyone should ask for dating advice. I've tried this show three times

and not once has it been successful. So I have no dating advice for anyone. But what dating advice did you receive? Has anyone never given you good dating advice? Clearly not. I might have used it. No, you probably use this one. Yeah.

When you see a red flag, it's really red. I don't know, Susan, you and I can't answer this. Like, you know, how do you and I, I mean, Rachel's gorgeous and she's young. and when she was talking about dating and she said, I have all these friends. You know, and I meet friends of friends. I sit here on airplanes saying to this flight attendant,

you know, is your father married? I mean, how do you date? I mean, how do you meet people? Because I know in Marshalls, but how else, because I am struggling, I'm not on the dating apse either. And Susan, you're not either, right? But we'd like to be dating.

So, I don't know, Susan, you got any good advice for me? I mean, put a printout, of the newspaper? I don't know. Did you say put an ad in the newspaper? Put it out in the newspaper. We're available. No, I'm not doing that. I tried all the dating sites. I'm just burnt spent. I don't know, Rachel. I think I'm going to start like going coffee house hopping because, you know, I mean, I was in a bar with some friends last week and this guy went, his wife was sitting next room. He went off. It's on my Instagram. You can see it. Like, I didn't put this guy up to it. I just, I had to video it, though.

He was like, she's so fabulous. Why? What's wrong with guys? Why? You know, and I'm like, uh, I mean, it's hard. It's hard out here. Oh, no, Rachel, it's not hard for you. You just told us you like not dating.

But it's hard in general. I think dating now because of the apps and because everything is so available to men, I think it is just hard in general. It is. Rachel, tell me again how old you are. I'm 28. What's the oldest guy you'll day? 28. I had my first kid when it's 28.

What's your max dating age? I would say probably like 45. Wait, did you hear that, Susan? 28? No, 45. I heard her. Okay. Rachel, what's the youngest you'll go?

I, maybe like 25. Susan? What about you? You already know my story. It depends on the man. I could go a little more. It depends on the person. Well, I'm just going to say, you know, I'm a New England Patriots fan and Bill Belichick, who was the general manager.

He is 72, and he is dating a 24-year-old. And I was, and I'm just going to do the math for you. He is three times as old as she. And I was like, he would pick her over us. But, of course he would. And I'm like, all right, Kathy, give it up, date older. date older, and then I started thinking, wait, if I date a guy three times my age, first of all, I'm going to have to dig him up. He's going to be very dusty and brittle,

and he's not going to be able to talk. And, you know, he probably's not walking well either. I mean, this is, it's like, I can't win. Okay. The good news is we found each other. We got travel buddies. I mean, we could travel. We could do everything except. It is true, Rachel, for us, for us on the golden, it's true. I don't know. You've made a lot of good friends, I know you have. And for us, to me, that's the, you know, the joy of doing the Golden Bachelor is the friends. It really is. And the friends that you make, everyone is always like, oh, it's just because, like, of the TV show.

But you truly form those bonds when you're in the house together and you don't have any outside influence. And you, like, make friends for life. And it really is, like, the best part. It is. And the other best part for us, Kathy, and I'm sure you agree, is letting. is letting the other women in the world know at our age, life's not over. There's so much more.

You know, like the age of possibilities. Like, don't give up. Don't give up. Keep on living. Of course, Rachel is allowed to give up right now because she's 28. She's got time. She's got times on that girl's side.

I never envision being with a woman. I'll just be honest. I'm Jamel Hill, host of the sports and politics. podcast, Spolitics. 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.

My husband and I have been together for 12 years and have two little kids. Last week, my three-year-old, who loves opening and closing every drawer and throwing things on the floor, pulled out condoms from the back of my husband's closet drawer while he wasn't home. My husband and I don't use condoms and haven't in many, many years. Uh-oh. This is also a newer home for us, so he would have had to put them there within the last year. Yikes. I want to know if you think I should confront him about why he has

condoms, and if you think it could mean anything suspicious is going on. I didn't have any suspicions. He could be cheating on me before, but now that I've seen hidden condoms, I can't get it out of my head. Any advice is appreciated. Love you ladies. And if you read this, thank you. Wait, can I just say, I want to know what the three-year-old did. Bet you 20 bucks. The three-old was trying to blow them up like balloons. I didn't know that they opened it. Ouch. Okay. Ouch. All right. You're going first, babe. Me? No. Rachel, go.

I've had friends. who this has happened to who have been in relationships, cheating. I mean, they're married, so this is different. But when this has happened to my friends who were just dating, they were cheating. Because if you're not using them, there's no reason he should have them. I would get if it's an old house. Yes, but she specifically said he would have had to put them there within the last year. Pack his freaking bags.

Eating. Susan, you're not serious. No, no, no, no, no. You know what, no, you know what Susan really meant? She will pack his freaking bags for him. That's what she meant to say. Could there be another reason? Yeah. Oh, honey, my buddy, his one, and he gave him to me and I didn't know what to do with him. So I just stuck him in the back of the closet. You are dead to me. No, guys, wait a minute. This could easily have come from an old packing box. You know I'm just bullshitting you here.

Oh, Kathy, zip it. I said I'm bullshit. sitting. Here's the thing. If they just moved into the house and the condoms are there, you know what I would do? Because I'm this person. I would take them out and put them next to a sink. I wouldn't say word. I would just take them out and put them. That's what I would do. I'm telling you, the older I get, the comforation, the smarter we are. You know, he's going to say something like, you know, my friend Joe Garrett just, he's going to say what Susan said. So just put him by his sink and watch his reaction.

And Anonymous 42 from Nevada. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for you. That sucks. Well, wait a minute, guys. Were you still in the U.S.? Were you innocent or proven guilty? Do you think he's cheating, Rachel?

Yes. Or he plans to. There's no reason that he should still have them. If it was an old house, again, that's a separate argument. I don't see any reason. So I'm a writer by training. And she very clearly here says the back of my husband's closet drawer. They were hidden.

So I think Anonymous, age 42 from Nevada, you may be joining us for breast reductions, drinking and bar hopping when you're 43. And jumping out of airplanes. Thank you so much for writing us. We've got to move on to the next one. I feel bad. I couldn't even help. I know.

I'm sorry, Anonymous. I don't, you know, I do feel sorry for you. and I hope it's not true, but the three of us think it's probably likely. Rachel's in agreement. Okay. All right. This one is from Sienna. She's 29 from Danbury, Connecticut.

Hello, ladies. I need you to tell me if my boyfriend's mom is crossing a line. I think so, but he doesn't. My boyfriend and I started dating six-ish months ago, and we have been spending time at his family's lake house a lot this summer. I'm just getting to know his parents, and I'm very grateful they are letting us stay with them. His mom is so happy, her son found love,

and loves taking photos of us together. I don't mind the candidates and posing here and there, but what I don't like is that she keeps taking photos of us while we're sleeping. Sorry, while we're sleeping. She'll sneak into our room that doesn't have a lock at like 6 a.m. before we wake up. snap a pick and then send it to the family group chat saying like,

aw, how cute. I feel like this is a strange invasion of privacy and I literally don't know what to do about it. Any thoughts on this would be helpful. How would you handle the situation? Love the pot and love you both. Thank you, Sienna. What do you think, Rachel? Well, I think, first of all, it's crossing a line.

Yes. For sure. Yes, she's letting them stay at the lakehouse. Amazing. They're getting to know each other. But there has to be a certain level of privacy, which I think is being invaded in this situation. And I think going to the boyfriend and telling him how uncomfortable you are, I think it's his place to probably talk to mom. Like, mom, seriously. Or, or one, you could put a chair up against the door so she can't get in. Or two, have no covers. be totally naked and say there you go mom oh god susan no get mom you know what i'd see that's the thing susan would be naked i'd be at home depot getting a deadbolt i mean there's one difference between us right there uh but here's what is bizarre to me shock value his boy what'd you say shock value yeah really uh her boyfriend doesn't think it's strange sienna i don't like saying this but i I think you better reconsider your boyfriend. If he doesn't think that strange, all three of us here, you know, from 28 to whatever,

think that's really strange, right? Also, it was like, aw, like she might be that real old-fashioned mommy and she just addures that are, I swear to God, if you defend this, I'm throwing you out of the airplane without a parachute. I swear to God. If they were taking a nap on the couch and she took the picture and they were like, in the family area, fine, uncomfortable, but whatever. Going into the room is crossing the line. Like, what if you were changing or it's like you have no privacy?

I would say something to the boyfriend, not like, honey, what do you think? It'd be like, is there something wrong with you? Like, I'd be single in 10 minutes because the fact that he doesn't think there's something wrong with that. But really, she should have the conversation with that woman and say exactly. what Rachel just said. I don't mind if we're taking a nap or something, but really, I have morning hair or whatever. Don't do it when we're sleeping. Like if we're napping, you know, whatever. You don't, that's crossing the line, but be kind about it because maybe the mother is so excited.

They've been dating six months. Sienna, you got only six. Get the freak out of the room. Get out. You've got six months invested in this relationship. Move along. Move along. I think it's bizarre. Yeah, to be that comfortable to go into the room that early into the relationship. If she's excited, she should want to, like, preserve this for it? No, she's probably trying to get rid of the girl. Maybe. That actually is a good point. I think she is definitely trying to get rid of the girl because that is bizarre baby.

Meddling moms. I wouldn't, Susan, would you ever do? Well, okay, Rachel, you and your boyfriend, Susan and I are your mothers because, you know, we come in a pair. and we're in their snapping picks are you what you come on well if it was you two I'd be like I'd jump in the bed with them

and take me in the bed I'd be like we start singing there were four in the bed and the little one said roll over it seems too early like for this bizarre behavior I'm sorry

I didn't realize the six month part you're right you're absolutely right I think well Sienna good luck yeah Sienna we wish you all the best and I would say you. There are many more fish in the sea. You're 29. I would cast your net far and wide and move along. That's what I'd be doing. Before you do that, before you do that, have a serious conversation with your

boyfriend. And then move along. Before you jump ship. All right. Well, that does it. Unfortunately, that doesn't. I'm having fun for this episode. I know. I'm like, I'm waiting for another one. I know. So Rachel, you've got to promise us you have to come back. Next time we want to see with boobs coming out of your throat. We can all compare. Yeah, we'll all compare. We'll, you know, maybe we can, we'll do a topless one.

Finally, we'll do a topless one. She agreed. I'll do it anyhow. Rachel, have you heard of dry humor? I was kidding. Rachel, that would be me and you only. Yeah, Susan will be, and you know what's going to happen? Susan, they're going to go, Jesus.

She did that next to Rachel. What was she thinking? You just, you've got to know where to dress. You get some lipo in my tummy with it, so I'll look. Well, the same surgeon. That's right. Oh, that poor guy, he'll retire after he does us. Hey, hey.

Oh, all right. Well, listen, it is so great. Thank you all so much for joining us. It's just, and Rachel, thank you for joining us. And you're a wise woman beyond your years. And we love you. And we hope your health continues to improve, truly. Thank you.

And I really, really love the fact that you're just doing you right now. You don't have to date to be happy. And I hope the best one of all comes along for you, for all of us. Me too, Susan. I know, I know. And V doesn't, we'll take second best. And you guys listening out there, thanks so much for joining us and enjoying her like we
