This is an I-Heart podcast. I'm Jamel Hill, hosts the Sports and Politics Podcasts, and on the latest episode of Spolitics, 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. We continue to say to them, you were elected to defend your constituents and there's life after Congress.

Just like great shoes, great books take you places. Through unforgettable love stories and into conversations with characters you'll never forget.

And we're best friends and journalists with a new podcast called No Such Thing, where we get to the bottom of questions like that. Why are you screaming? I can't expect what to do. Now, if the rule was the same, go off on me. I deserve it. You know, lock him up. Listen to No Such Thing on the IHeart Radio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. No such thing. Welcome to our very first episode of Bachelor Happy Hour's Golden Hour. I'm Kathy. And I'm Susan, and you'll know us from The Golden Bachelor. Oh, my goodness. Can you believe they chose us? It's amazing.

Who can make a better choice? You know, we are so excited to be here and share our thoughts on love and life. You know, we've lived a lot. of years and we've learned so much and being on the show taught us so much. And we just are so thrilled to have this opportunity to talk to you about our experiences. We want to hear your experiences of love and life. Kathy, I'm a little nervous, nervous about what could come out of my mouth. Like, I don't know what I'm allowed to say. Wait, you're nervous about what comes out of your mouth. Really? Your mouth? I don't know. I think they made a brilliant choice, too. I think so too. I think so, too. And

know, we have had such a crazy week because I don't know if y'all know this, but my son got married a week ago and we were talking, well, and you're not even going to believe how this happens. I was talking to my son Kyle and his fiancee about their wedding and planning it, and it's a second wedding for both my son and his fiance candy. So we were talking about who's going to marry you, where are you going to have the wedding? And my son said, you know, we're working on those details. And I said, actually, jokingly, why don't you ask Susan? And he looked at me, said, I'll talk to Candy about that.

That could be a really great idea. 30 seconds later, it was, literally it wasn't three minutes later. He called me and he said, we're in. And Susan flew from Philly. And we just had such a great time. How about where it was? It was at a winery. It was absolutely magical.

It had read here all week. The sun came out. It was absolutely beautiful. Kathy got a little jelly, however. A little jealous because her granddaughter, oh my God. She is precious and she likes me. They all like you, Susan. And y'all, do you remember the part that at the very beginning, my son picks up a rose

and turns to his bride and says, Candy, will you accept this final rose? And, of course, he had a videographer there. And what does Kathy say, forgetting that it's all being taped? Another rose I don't get. That was supposed to be a surprise for you because I knew about it. And when I, after the opening and saying, good afternoon, everybody, thank you for coming and blah, blah, blah. I said, wait a minute. I think there's something Kyle wants to ask his bride.

And he's looking at me like, where's the rose? Right here. So the next day, the wedding was incredible. The next day, we all go to a brewery to have a bride. Brewery and brunch. I don't know, but we did it. It's a Texas thing. It's a Texas thing. And we're standing there and two women came up to Susan and May. And she looked at me and she said, you know, my mom passed away last year and you give me so much hope that my dad will find someone. I think it was like September, right? Wasn't it

September? She just passed away. And her dad is 70. I didn't think it was the right time to say, is it too soon like I'm 70 you you know send me his picture but that's that is what we hope to do on this podcast people supporting people hearing from people that we can give hope to and hearing their stories and it's all about love it happens to be every day I know it does to you in airports and the grocery store for some reason they'll just open up and I love that I could have that effect on people. Just be you. There's something in there. And you feel it because of who we are, what we're saying or watching us on the show. I love that people were moved by that. It is about not giving up. It is. And I think that people need that in their lives today. There's so many

tough things that we all deal with day in and day out. We all need to feel that hope and that authenticity because that's how we go through life with hope and enjoying every day. And if you don't have that, you're missing. That's what we're here for. Susan, you and I, one thing we're not, we're both tall women, one thing we're not short on is advice. Yes. I just need to follow my own sometimes. My intuition, I definitely, in my 60s, realize, don't fight your intuition. It's so right most of the time. Are we giving advice here? Because you know, my, My first piece of advice is, when you see a red flag, you can't turn it into a white flag. I always make it yellow.

It's like the yellow light. You know, the green light, you buzz, the yellow light, I still go through. I should proceed with caution. Proceed with caution. Susan sees a red light. She stopped for about two seconds. It's going green. I'm just going to go ahead.

I love life. I really do. And we're hoping that we find love. in case anyone doesn't remember, we are still looking for love. But I just want to ask you a question. Susan, the finale. Come on. From a wedding to a finale.

Every time Jesse says, and he does say this a lot, you're never going to believe it. The most, the best finale you've ever seen, I've heard it a hundred times. Only this time it was real about how beautiful, Daisy, I'm so. proud of her? As a matter of fact, I, I DM'd her last night and told her how proud I was. She was amazing. She exemplifies grace and beauty. She didn't get the guy, but how beautiful. When she said those words, I'm telling you, Susan, it sticks out in my mind. If I can love the wrong person that much, imagine how I can love the right person. I mean, listen, you're always crying, always. Not always. That made me cry. I know. I saw you. I saw you. Kathy actually teared up.

How happy did they look? Amazing. So just being there from Women Tell All and now this and having some of our other buddies from the Goldens there as well. It was like a reunion every time. But to watch the girls and listen to Daisy speak, it was incredible. Not even talking about the end. it's just it's just i mean i think we're so lucky we got to be at the uh we got to be at the women's tell all and final rose and to see the emotions on these girls faces if any of you out there doubt that these girls know how to love and these girls really wanted to find love i mean i don't about you susan but come on it doesn't it make you just we all wanted to find love that's why we went on our show and we were in the friend zone. However, I believe in the process and obviously that shows. Well, I want to talk about you finding love for a minute because you almost bold me over to get to Kelsey's dad, Mark. Oh, isn't he a handsome man? And the whole family

is beautiful. His youngest son was like, Susan, I'm one of your biggest friends. Can we take a picture? I felt bad for the sister and the younger brother. So I'm posing with everybody taking pictures. He's too young, Susan. He's too young. Whatever. What's too young, Kathy? We'll talk about it later. It's coming home. No, we can talk about it right now. What's too young, Kathy? Well, I'm going to go with 10 years. Where are you going? Oh, I'd go 12. But I don't know how old the man is. I really know. He's 2060. But we had a nice conversation. He's a lovely man. And I would know, Susan. I wouldn't know. I didn't get a chance. That's your problem. Oh, Leslie did.

I was saying her talking, boop, bu, here she comes, little mess. She's right up in there. Everybody knows how handsome of a man. But well-spoken, and I had said, complimented him on what a beautiful job he did, raising his daughter, Kelsey. And you know what he said, Kathy? What? I can't take the credit for that. That's all her mother.

I just didn't have to ruin it. I was trying not to ruin. I said, you did a wonderful job. He did. He did. A beautiful, beautiful family. It's not coincidence that these two, Joey and Kelsey love each other the way they do because the love from their families, it just exuded from each one of them. And I don't know, speaking of them, does it, I mean, do you just wish them?

I think they're going to get married. What do you think? Oh, gosh, eventually. Yes, definitely. They're so in love. But wait, let's go back for one second. watching the show, okay, when Daisy, did you feel like the last time they were together the way he was looking at her?

I felt the vibe. I knew myself that it wasn't going to be Daisy, and I love the fact that she recognized it. But how about her going to Kelsey's room? I know. Well, and how about them, it was beautiful, but the whole thing, them riding in the car together. That's real friendship. Susan, are you going to do that for me? Are you going to ride?

I think we did that already. Look at us. We're inseparable now. I just, I thought, as you said, the love for those two girls that they have for each other, all the girls, I think that's what another thing that makes finding love on the Bachelor just so heartwarming. People realize that this is their chance and it's their chance to find friendship. It's their chance to find true love. I mean, I keep saying. And they did.

They did. Joey picked the right girl for him. Do you think all the long engagement? I saw them on Good Morning America and she spikes up. She's not shy. I love that about Kelsey. She speaks right up and makes him laugh. They were doing this game, guessing his favorite food.

And he goes, that's what I was going to write. But I wrote this instead. It was supposed to be pizza. And she goes, wait. But they're an amazing couple. But, you know, there's been a lot of bachelors. I think Kelsey is amazing. I want her hair, by the way.

I want all of them. I mean, those girls have gorgeous hair. But I think what makes Joey, I was thinking about it, what makes him such a standout bachelor, he listened to each of those girls. He really made them feel heard. He valued them. He didn't want to hurt any of them.

Kathy, what about when he was sitting with Daisy? And he wanted to know all about. her cochlear implant he was touching it feeling it i'm trying to understand it like you said paying attention and and and at the final rose when she said she left a happier stronger woman to me that is such a gift of this show you know not everyone's going to find love and but she walked away happier and stronger and a beautiful woman who who's ready to move on with life who just like us what did we get out of our show. We got friendship. Not only that, but self-love. You know who you are now.

We experienced, we stepped out of our comforts on, I don't know how many times on our season. And it just makes you 100% okay with yourself, who you are. Totally authentic. I'm Jamil Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcast Politics.

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.

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 my eyes close. 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.

so 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. Listen to no such thing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I think you and I, on a scale of 1 to 10,

have probably always been pretty authentic. But I think, I think. it did make, being on the show made me feel and watching the final rose, it just confirmed, it affirmed that we are who we are. And that's what getting older's about. It's just accepting who you are. I loved it about these young ladies. They were all true to themselves. And he made the right choice. He, oh, for sure. And he's a 10 on the hot scale. Definitely a 10. 11. So wait, two things. Do you think you're going to marry them? Because we're going to marry them. We know you are a wedding officiant.

Oh, I'll be haunting them, yes. I'm going to be the maid of honor. Wait, how about seeing Charity in Dalton? When I saw them and I spoke to them for a little bit, I said, wait, are we having two weddings? One in Nigeria? Does that mean I get to come to Nigeria? He said, we're working on that. I love it.

You know, that's the happily ever afters that these people find it should make everyone believe in love. That's what I say. Speaking of finding love, next bachelorette, what do you think? Oh, isn't she adorable? But she seems more, as she talked about when she did the shots, like how they do in their family, and we all had a shot of a burger. Can I just say, my perfect evening, beautiful women talking about love and getting to do a shot. Check, check, check.

Remember when we got them and you started to sip and they said, no, not yet. This is for a toast. And then when we had to do it, I switched with Kathy because I don't like it. So hers was half gone, so I gave her my full one. Who doesn't like whiskey? What's wrong with you? Oh, me. But seriously, I think she's going to be great.

You know, our first Asian bachelorette, she's beautiful, she's smart, she wants to find love. I think it's going to be another great season. Absolutely. Although Joey's season's going to be a hard act to follow, I have to admit. That was a great season. And the ending, people will remember this forever. They will. Ever.

So speaking of couples, tell me about your life, Kathy, about your marriage. Is this really, all right, we're going down this one. Well, we're going to get to know a little bit about each other now. Okay. Here we go, Bachelor Nation. You're going to get to know us. So most of you know, I was married for over 45 years, have three great children, two fabulous granddaughters. You know, my husband died by suicide five years ago. I think that,

you know, people talk about having life-changing moments in your life. Obviously, for me, that was one of them. But I think, Susan, that's when I really learned. I was married at 20. I am 70 years old. I was a baby. What do I know about myself now is really marked by his death. because I learned truly that I can stand on my own two feet. I can do anything. I believe in myself now. And, you know, that's, that's, as much as I want to find love, that's what I know about myself. Tell me, what did you learn about men being married?

Is there anything in specific you could shout out? Well, men are, you know. Well, come on. I had to raise my husband. I mean, he was a baby, too. I think, you know, men love to be adored. I think that the one thing I've learned about marriage, it's the big C, compassion and communication.

Communication is key. Okay, your turn, girlfriend. And not only adored, they need to be acknowledged. That's one of the mistakes I made in my marriage, and I won't do again. And I learned from it is acknowledgement. Like even the little things, men like to be appreciated, and they like to be told, oh, thank you for doing this today or whatever, even minor things,

if they carried up the laundry for you, say something. Carry up the laundry? Just be a step ahead. Anything they do, they want to be acknowledged. Yeah. You know, I will say maybe you just remind me of something. I think the biggest lesson I learned about my marriage, compromise. You have to compromise.

Compromise and communicate. There's your Cs again. There are my Cs. I just didn't, I don't think I compromised enough in my marriage, but I don't know. So, Kathy, going back into the dating world. I mean, besides the show, just getting out there again, what's your feel on this whole thing? It's hard, Susan. It's really hard. By the way, if anyone's listening, Susan and I still are available. So we will take a request. You can send in your dad's picture or your pup-by. maybe the hot guy next door. Wait, but will you, could I get one first? That's all I want to know.

I mean, if you push me out the way you did with Kelsey's dad, I don't have a chance. I'm screwed. So wait, what are the traits that you're looking for? Are we different? I mean, okay. I think we both like tall men. Absolutely. Tall.

I definitely don't want to feel heavier or bigger than the guy. You know what I mean? I like a bigger guy. I mean, come on. Chemistry's important. Anyone, I don't care if you're 770 or 700. chemistry is important. So, but you know what, for me, the guy I'm looking for now is not the guy I was looking for when I was 20.

I mean, I don't know what that guy was thinking when I was 20. That's the best statement you've made so far. That is so correct. Oh, I thought the best statement was get out of the way if I'm trying to meet Kelsey's dad. But never mind, go ahead. In your world, that would be the best. But you're absolutely right. It's totally different what I'm looking for now.

Okay. And before it was more about lust and looks and sex. And, you know, making you feel amazing. Now, I'm sure you've changed? No, no, I'm not excusing those things. They're very important. However, at this stage of the game, somebody that can love me, you know, we have big personalities. But I'm a mush-mush, as everybody knows, because I cry all the time.

But I want somebody that appreciates me for who I am. And likewise, and be comfortable with me having a big mouth. Okay. Well, that's fair. We are who we are. People have to accept us for who we are. I want someone with who loves adventure. We're not raising kids anymore, right? You've got that way. Susan, Susan, you don't think I'm letting you off the hot seat, do you? Why? You didn't tell me about your marriage. Give it up, girl. I had to be your turn. Dickie and I are still good friends. We really are. Most people don't get it. Like if I'm in a relationship at Christmas or holidays, Dickie's there with all my. kids, my grandkids, and so is my, the man I'm involved with. Right now, I haven't had anybody in quite some time, but we are okay and we are still friends. I still care about him. We share children together. We share grandchildren together. And we are in the same environment a lot. So are you afraid? Are you afraid to find love again? Like how would that look for you? Oh, absolutely not. I am so open. I really, really am. However, what's changed about me?

prior to going on the show. I was on every dating site. And if there's a particular one that you guys out there think is better, please DM me. I want to know. Maybe there's one that I missed. You know what?

The debut types are going to DM you. The men are going to DM me. But carry on. Carry on. I found it was like the kids today. It's okay with everybody just do a one night hook up and go on to the next one.

Or you get ghosted, which is beyond me. To me, that was being stood up and that's happened a few times. Gaslighting. All these terms, gaslighting. That's the new word, I guess. I'm old. I'm old. I mean, do you have Riz? I mean, come on. It's like, we can't even understand the terminology today. But I want to know, I'm going to ask you. I'm going to put, I'm going to do it to you again. Here she goes, people. Well, you know what? People have inquiring minds. I want to know, Susan.

Okay. How soon would you move in with a guy? If you met Mr. Wright, how soon? Oh, so I fall in love fast, hard. But I realized today that's not just real love. Real love to me is finding your best friend and being okay with his faults, your faults, compromising. So it would depend on the feeling. I mean, I'm not getting any younger. I am 67.

Do you want to get married again? I've been 67 for not even a month yet. I still have days left. Okay, rub it in your younger than I. Yes, I absolutely want to be with someone and grow old with someone. That's not what I asked. That's not what I asked. Would you get married?

married again. If it's right, yes. Okay. Can I be, can I officiate at your wedding? Oh, God help me. I could marry myself. You know that, right? Really?

I am legal, beagle. Yeah, I can do my own sorry. Not that I would. I wouldn't. Okay. So, so if worse, if, I'm just stunned marrying yourself. That's a whole other can of worms. So tell me something.

Your marriage didn't end the way you wanted it. Honestly, for me, I think it's going to be a little harder for me on the dating scene only because I had a great marriage. You can't compare. There is no such thing as a perfect marriage. But I had a great guy who loved me and I loved him. And I think for me, dating is going to look really different because... Do you believe in soulmates, Kat?

I do believe in soulmates. I think that... Listen, we're going to have the sex talk now, Susan. When you're young. How do we get from soulmates to sex? Because one goes with the other. Because if you're a soulmate, you share everything. Yes, this is true.

This is true. But look at our age, okay, and then our age, you've got to think about things that come with this man. We're getting older. Say he's 75. We got to think about, do we want to be a caretaker? Are we comfortable with that? Things of that nature. Yeah, well, a nurse or a purse.

I mean, I'm talking, I can't be a purse. I'm talking, I really can't be a nurse and we're getting down to it. You know, but truly, I feel like if you're dating a guy, if I'm dating a guy, I want someone, intimacy looks different at our age. Let's be honest. It does, right? It's not just sex even. A makeout session? we'll give it just the way you hold somebody that's that have to know how to kiss okay i could

give lessons oh now we're getting into your train i'm professional when it comes to kissing yes a man that tells you they know how to kiss and they come in and you're like oh geez that is not kissing like a ruin a day all right so wait your guy's got to be tall he's got to know how to kiss fabulous yes and affection that's what i missed the most I'm Jemail Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Politics.

Listen to no such thing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm being honest. You and I have both learned to be, we are independent women. We're strong personalities, no question. But, you know, both of us, you've seen me and the world has seen you, cry and show emotion. But you know what? I show a lot of emotion, too. It's just not as readily apparent.

And I want that guy who can laugh with me, not at me, with me, and have those intimate moments where, you know, we go from kayaking and skiing to sitting in front of a fire or watching a sunset. And holding hands. My best, best, best moment. I was in a diner some years ago. And there was this. Gary's diner? No, older, older couple, late 80s maybe. And they were sitting on the same side of the booth. And when they got up, she had a walker and he still held her hand. That's what I'm looking for. That, that affection, that kindness. And somebody that likes to travel a little bit. Oh, travel for sure. I don't want to give that up. For sure. You know, I've dated, are you going to, well, I was going to ask you what your worst date is, but then you're going to ask me and, yeah, we're not going to go there. We're not going to go there. Right. But I, I would, traveling's important. I guess what I'm saying is it's never too late. I don't feel like it's too late to find love. I think. I believe in happily ever after still, hopeless, romantic. And I've been there twice, okay? I have to admit, my first marriage, I don't count it. It was only eight months. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Back on. It was eight months.

It counts. It counts. Eight months married to the mob, so to speak. I don't know. Maybe I should be on the wives show. But it was, I was extremely young and jumped in and jumped out just as fast. We didn't have children or anything like that. Whoa. You know what they say for you, Susan? Third time's the charm. That's what I believe. Well, you know what? I think you and I have a great opportunity here. Do you want to know what it is?

What's that? Think of it. You and I, we can be each other's a wing woman. Oh, geez, I'm scared. Oh, come on. We can do it. We can do it. We'll go to a bar.

We'll go out. We can go. We can, I don't know, we can figure it out. Can you imagine? Anyway, I have an idea. Something fun we can do on this podcast. All right. People out there, let me know what you think.

What if we create some kind of a dating profile that will share with everybody on social media? Hmm. And then you can submit people that you're thinking of, because which already happened to me. I, DM'd me the other day. My dad, my dad, no, they're definitely not full. This was from a young lady that said her dad is single. and he lives close by. What do you do with that?

I didn't know what to say. I was, I didn't know what you do. You find out if he's tall and he wants to have sex. There's your criteria. How do you ask for a picture? You know what I mean? Well, I just, I'm not dating at the moment because, you know, I'm busy. I'm busy looking.

Wait, I like this idea. I think people should write in and send us DMs of people and then I'll pick one for you. You'll pick one for me. Now they have to be age appropriate. Okay. And they had to hear what we said on our kind of a man. Like try to get as close to what we want.

Ma'am, we might open our own dating service after this. Wait, could you imagine, wait, we could have our own show. I know. We found love on our podcast, Golden Hour, and then we're getting married. You're going to marry. It could be a whole thing. It could be a whole thing. Where did you meet?

on the golden hour. On golden hour. That would be fabulous. I love it. I absolutely love it. But you never know. I could look at your entries, if you will, and said, would you be willing to go on a blind date if I picked him? Would I? Yes. Absolutely.

Because you know me and I know you. Would you go, would you let me pick one for you? I think so. Oh, wait a second. Seriously? You think. Let me tell everyone the way this is really going to work. You're going to send in DMs.

Susan's going to call through them first. She's going to say, I want that one, that one, that one. I'm going to pull aside all the ones that I like. It's feeling like Kelsey's dad all over again. Here's what we're going to do. They're going to DM me some. They're going to DM you some. And maybe we can trade.

So wait, are they going to DM you some for me? Yes. Or, okay, okay. Otherwise, I don't have a chance. I'll try anything once, twice if I like it. Oh, Susan. Susan. We're in trouble now.

I think they need to DM. Wait, I rethought it. Don't DM me. Don't DM Susan, because I'll never see them. DM the Bachelor Happy Hour Instagram page. That's a better idea. Oh, okay. So the world's going to see what our choices are?

Well, that's right. And then I have a chance. I have a chance, Susan. all of a chance. I look forward to it, Kathy, and I really look forward everybody giving us questions, giving us your thoughts and what you think. And then we'll tell you you're wrong probably, but no, I'm teasing. I think that we are here not just to share our lives and what's going on,

but we really want to hear from everyone else. We want to know what's going on in your lives because you may feel like nothing is going right in your life and you're alone. We all feel that way sometimes. And it's just not true. The whole process of growing older, Kathy, and we both agree on this, is not believing it's over. It's never over. It might be the best chapter. You and I've talked about this, Susan, this is going to be the best chapter. It already is, the best chapter of our lives. And no one should ever feel hopeless or give up. They're so. much of life to live. We only get this one ride, folks. Only one time. You've got to live to your best. And those of

you out there that are hearing us right now, I hope you're smiling. I hope you're getting up and moving around and just embrace what's left. Enjoy every moment. Because there's a lot left.
