Starting point is 00:00:00 This is an I-Heart podcast. Hi, it's Gemma's Begg, host of the Psychology of Your 20s. This September at the Psychology of Your 20s, we're breaking down the very interesting ways psychology applies to real life, like why we crave external validation. I find it so interesting that we are so quick to believe others' judgments of us and not our own judgment of ourselves. So according to the study, not being liked actually creates similar pain levels
Starting point is 00:00:25 as real-life physical pain. I'll learn more about the psychology of everyday life, and, of course, your 20s, this September. Listen to the Psychology of Your 20s on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the latest episode of Next Question with me, Katie Couric, I sat down with Jasmine Crockett,
Starting point is 00:00:43 Democratic Representative of Texas. She's holding out the fork for her party in one of the most conservative states in the Union. I think that ultimately, who will become the Democratic nominee for president will be someone that has been out there and has shown that they won't, allow themselves to be punched and just say thank you.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Like, they will punch back. Listen to next question with me, Katie Couric on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? Answer, a new podcast called Wisecrack, where a comedian finds himself at the center of a chilling true crime story. Does anyone know what show they've come to see?
Starting point is 00:01:30 It's a story. It's about the scariest night of my life. This is Wisecrack, available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, everyone, we are back with our first ever guest from The Golden Bachelor. She is the first person in history to ever receive a rose. from the Golden Bachelor. Everyone,
Starting point is 00:01:58 please welcome. Faith. Thank you. Welcome to the happy hour. Faith, welcome. And I have to say, Joe, that was the happiest you've ever looked doing an intro on this podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Joe is so excited, Faith. We were obsessed with the first episode and we were so excited to be talking to you. So welcome. Yes. Well, I'm excited as well to talk with you too, especially because I can't wait to hear a lot about your backstory because that gives people
Starting point is 00:02:22 like me hope, you know? So, yeah, super fun. Super fun to be on here. So thank you. for having me. So, Faith, remind me again, where do you live? Where are you from? So I live in, yeah, I'm from Santa Cruz, California originally. I know they say, you know, they've said I'm from Bent City. I live in Bent City, Washington State. So it's on the eastern side of Washington in the desert, very rural. So, you know, lots of wide open spaces. And I have a
Starting point is 00:02:49 horse and two dogs and live on an acre and little tiny house. And yeah, so over here. You ride a motorcycle? I ride a motorcycle also ride a horse, yeah. Nice, nice. And how in the world did you get on this show? So my kids, you know, I've got adult children. I've got the two coolest sons on the face of the earth. And, of course, they're always saying,
Starting point is 00:03:11 I mean, first of all, my son signed me up for Tinder one time. And I couldn't even work the side. I didn't know what was swiping to the right was let them in. You know, I just was trying to get them off my screen. So then they signed me up for my daughter-in-law was making me sign up on some matchdog. and she kept sending me pictures of eligible men going, do you think he's been looking? I was like, why are you looking at men?
Starting point is 00:03:33 You're married to my son. She's like, no, I signed you up. So when none of those worked, and I just got overwhelmed with those sites. So one day we were sitting around and my son says, oh my gosh, mom, the golden bachelor, they're going to have a golden bachelor. This is so perfect for you.
Starting point is 00:03:48 And he signed me up right then and there on my phone. I saw nothing. I said, well, I'm sure they won't call anyway. And then they did call. And so then bing, bang, boom, and here I am. I don't know how it happened. Have you seen the other women? I'm telling you.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Oh, my gosh. I mean, we see the other women, but the only one that Gary seems to see is you because we'll get into the fact that Gary loves you right away. So you pull up, you don't come out of the limo, you pull up in a motorcycle. How are you feeling in this moment? And also, did you watch the show prior or no? So I feel so bad in saying this, but no, I work my guts out up until recently. So I, you know, I do three radio shows a day.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Then I was teaching school for the rest of the day. And I'm a singer-musician, so I was in a band for 30 years. So like every weekend, every night, I don't go to bed till late. And I don't have time to watch TV. I had heard of The Bachelor. That's pretty much the extent of it. So I really knew nothing. And you'll see that.
Starting point is 00:04:52 They make fun of me a number of times. But, yeah, it's, I was terrified that night coming in on the motorcycle. I hadn't ridden for a while, and that wasn't my bike. So I was terrified to be meeting Gary for the first time. And, you know, of course, as you know, it's terrifying, right? First night jitters. I was completely, I think, you know, I was breathing so heavy in that helmet. I could hear my own, I felt like Darth Vader, you know.
Starting point is 00:05:21 And I was just so worried that I was. I wouldn't get the kickstand down and I'd dump the bike or something. And, yeah, I was terrified. And then trying to get off a motorcycle in an evening gown and make it look somewhat ladylike. I mean, that was a challenge. Well, you looked like an absolute pro. You made it work. The pink dress was fabulous.
Starting point is 00:05:41 You looked very ladylike. So going into the show then, if you didn't watch it, did you watch any episodes like prepare or any research, like figure out what you're getting into? or were you totally blind? So I saw two little clips, and my thought was what I told my son. I was like, why is everybody crying on that show? I'm not, you like, that sounds crazy.
Starting point is 00:06:03 And then I really didn't have time, and I thought about it. And I asked, do I need to watch this show? And they're like, ah, don't worry about it, you know? Well, then, yeah. Bad advice. Bad advice from the kids. Who told you that?
Starting point is 00:06:17 Except I do know something about myself living this long. I realized that I'm kind of an in-the-moment kind of girl. And if I would have, if I would have known what to expect or what to anticipate or where we were going from here or doing this or trying to figure it all out, it would have bugged me. The part that I loved about it is I really had no expectations. I had gone in going, I'm going to take one look at this guy up close. And if I don't like him, I'm going home because I've never had a summer off.
Starting point is 00:06:45 I wanted to be with my horse, my kids, my grandkids. I wanted to go camping. I felt like this was taking my summer. I don't want to be here unless I think that I might really like him, you know? And so, and I made it known up front that that's how I felt. And then, well, you saw first night, you know, and there was that instant look that I caught in his eye that just made me, oh, my gosh, you know. Because, yeah, he's a good looking guy, but as we all know, good looks only go so far. So when I looked in those eyes, though, I was like, oh, my gosh, there's something about him.
Starting point is 00:07:17 So it was very, very exciting to feel that. definitely wanted to explore it is he is is gary your tip is he your type do you have a type no no he would not have been my type no um i'm happy to say which was why i was little hesitant but when i i looked in his eyes there was something so wonderful that i was so attracted to but uh you know no he is not my type i go more for uh the uh the emotionally unavailable casanova types or The ones that you think are going to be okay and then stalk you for six months, you know, after the breakup. So, yeah, I haven't had, you know, I mean, that's rude to say. I really have met some wonderful men, but I either don't fall in love with them or they fall in love with me and it's not, doesn't end well, you know.
Starting point is 00:08:09 It's awful. So, yeah, as we know, relationships are just that way, right? It's so hard. It's tough. Yeah, you've got to find the right fit. The right fit. rare to find two people that love each other in the same way. And it can actually get along.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Yeah. Yeah. I have to ask you, have people told you before that you've looked so much like Katie Siegel? You must get this all the time. You know, it's weird because I saw it right away too. And the weird thing is that she's also a singer. There was a time when I was kind of touring and some of the cover songs I was doing.
Starting point is 00:08:43 She was doing the same ones. We had our hair styled the same way. I mean, just off chance. You know, I kept thinking maybe my dad, you know, maybe she's like related to me or something. So, yeah, I know we look a lot alike. I could be her double, you know. And I ride a motorcycle. So, you know.
Starting point is 00:09:03 I know. It's so cool to me. I think it's awesome. It's kind of weird that we're so similar. We sing the same songs where our hair is the same. Our face is the same. You know, maybe we were twins. I think she's a little bit older than me, but not by much.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Maybe you guys were sisters in another life. You never know. Something. Yeah. Okay. So you step, so, you know, you have your talk with Gary, right? When you step off your motorcycle, then you step into the Bachelor Mansion for the first time. There's other women there.
Starting point is 00:09:33 How are you feeling? Overwhelmed, excited. What's going through your mind? All of the above. Terrified. I mean, I, you know, I'm a radio personality too, so I do okay in crowds and I can usually find somebody to connect with and enjoy. First thing I thought of was, holy crime, any of these women are gorgeous, right? I mean, there were so many of them.
Starting point is 00:09:52 They were all beautiful. Immediately, I felt inadequate. But they were all so nice, super friendly. So there was a few that I, you know, felt a little more drawn to. And I don't know, it was pretty comfortable in that way, but also terrifying. You know, you have a little conversation with one, and then you kind of stand back for a while and go, okay, what do we do now? And then they kept coming and coming. There were so many of them.
Starting point is 00:10:17 So, yeah, it was super exciting, but, you know, it was a very surreal feeling, you know, what am I doing here? This is kind of crazy. And so many gorgeous women. And I'm not going to lie. I thought, oh, my gosh, I do not have a chance with this guy. Look at all these people. Was there any women that you, like, hit it off with right away, like that you kind of formed fast friendships with? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:40 I immediately liked Anna. I didn't, I immediately liked her. we didn't get to talk a lot, but, and Peggy, and I mean, every one of them that you, you know, introduced, that I was introduced to right away, there was so many to go through. But once we had a chance to all chat, you know, gosh, Ellen, I mean, there was just, it was just so fun. It was so fun to meet everyone. What I found was really interesting is that the first impressions that you get about people,
Starting point is 00:11:07 you know, the ones that maybe were a little more standoffish or the ones that were very oysters or how, you know, kind of just those instant impressions that you get. Some of those held true, but, you know, it's funny that sometimes you don't know when you meet somebody what they're really like and you, you know, so you're not always drawn to the people that you think you would be. And it's, it's just interesting. It was a wonderful experience to meet all those fantastic women. I would say especially in this kind of setting because you really, you don't know if somebody standoffish or just a nervous reconciled. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:43 And yeah, like I feel like everyone, that first day is just like, you know, you're a little in your head because you're like, what the fuck am I doing here? Yeah, I can't tell you how many times I thought that. And even like opened my eyes in the middle of the night, staring up the ceiling, going, what am I doing? This is the weirdest thing ever. Oh, I had that moment. I definitely had that moment after night one.
Starting point is 00:12:08 remember being in my room being like, what is happening? Yeah, it's pretty, pretty intense. I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the psychology podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about exploring human potential. I was going to schools to try to teach kids these skills and I get eye rolling from teachers or I get students who would be like, it's easier to punch someone in the face. When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome as a result of it if it's going to be beneficial to you because it's easy to say like go you go blank yourself right it's easy it's easy to just drink the extra beer it's easy to ignore to suppress seeing a colleague who's bothering you and just like walk the other way avoidance is easier ignoring is easier denial is easier drinking is easier yelling screaming is easy complex problem solving meditating, you know, takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the IHartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:13:18 I think Democrats have, for a very long time, allow Republicans to play them. So essentially, Republicans came up with a narrative, and Democrats decided to play into that. And that only hurt the Democrats. I'm Kitty Couric. Jasmine Crockett, Democratic Representative of Texas. is not known for holding back. And our recent chat on next question is no exception.
Starting point is 00:13:44 But when you hear how she got to where she is, her intensity makes perfect sense. It's just hard to imagine a world where you don't have enough people that care to do right by people. And so that same passion that carried me through as a public defender that led me to want to change laws and thinking about the harm that will
Starting point is 00:14:08 happen not just to my constituents, but just generally, like, I carry that weight with me because you've seen it up close. Yeah. Listen to next question with me, Katie Couric on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, and in session 421 of therapy for black girls, I sit down with Dr. Ophia and Billy Shaka to explore how our hair connects to our identity, mental health, and the ways we heal. Because I think hair is a complex language system, right? In terms of it can tell how old you are, your marital status, where you're from, you're a spiritual belief.
Starting point is 00:14:47 But I think with social media, there's like a hyper fixation and observation of our hair, right? That this is sometimes the first thing someone sees when we make a post or a reel is how our hair is styled. You talk about the important role hairstyles play in our community. the pressure to always look put together and how breaking up with perfection can actually free us. Plus, if you're someone who gets anxious about flying, don't miss session 418 with Dr. Angela Neil Barnett, where we dive into managing flight anxiety. Listen to Therapy for Black Girls on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Okay, so let's go. You have a one-on-one talk with Gary. whip out the guitar. You sing him a song. So embarrassing. So embarrassing. Well, it's not embarrassing because it was such a sweet moment. Like when like watching it back, it is so sweet and they keep cutting to Gary's like eyes and he's just like melting listening to you sing this song. Your voice is beautiful.
Starting point is 00:15:52 It was I'm not someone that like loves a cheesy moment and I really fell for this one. I was getting mad. I was yelling at the screen. I'm like, Gary, play it cool. Like play it cool because you are. so in love in this moment is insane. It was so cute. He was so cute. I think that, you know, right from the get-go, I wanted to get at the core of what I was after and what I wanted to see if he had in him. And I had recently
Starting point is 00:16:19 written that song called Something Beautiful. And basically it's the story of somebody who doesn't care that much about how they look and really doesn't pay too much attention to any of that. And then when she meets that person that she connects with, all of a sudden she really wants to be something beautiful because she wants to create something. something beautiful with someone. So when I was singing that to him, you know, I kind of wanted him to understand that, you know, that's how I felt in that moment about him because truly I was ready to go home. Like if I looked at him and I didn't feel anything, I was out. But that, what he had in his eyes, that moment was just what captured me right from the get-go. And it's
Starting point is 00:16:56 almost like, to me, it felt like nothing else mattered. Like, I don't care what you do. I don't care where we live. I don't care whatever. You know, like I just was, whew. So it's, you know it just captured me wow oh my god yeah you can't have a little are you cry that's Jesus I saw are you actually crying oh my god that really got me sorry we just got married so I'm like so emotional it's so cute that's so cute well you know that's the that's the thing right that's the thing that's so cute me too that's adorable but that being said I was terrified you know because here I am doing this and trying to basically bear my soul in that moment, feeling like, oh, my gosh, this could be such a great connection.
Starting point is 00:17:39 And then, you know, I was cold. My fingers were stiff. You know, there's cameras in my face. And, you know, I was so embarrassed. I'm sure that I did not sing well or play well. I don't even hardly remember it now. All right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Well, Faith, you know what? Let's cut it out with this humble act, all right? Because when you, when you, okay, so be honest with me, when you walked away from him, after that conversation you play the guitar as there a party that's like i got this guy i got him he's into me no no gosh no not at all no i i think that i was probably the most insecure person um in in on that whole show honestly sometimes i mean i i i never i never felt like that ever i felt like there might be something just because that connect i mean it was like a direct line eye to eye, you know, and that's really the only thing I could hold on to and which I did
Starting point is 00:18:32 hold on to is that there was something there. Don't know, you know, but there was something there. So, but I didn't feel like I did a good job. I didn't feel like I looked good. I didn't nothing like that. So I was like, oh, you know, honestly, in full transparency, I don't think you could do better. Yeah, I understand what you mean. It's a hard environment to be in and there's a lot of self-criticism and comparison that goes on with so many other people in that room. But truly like you could not have done better. It was fantastic. Wait to you want. Yeah. Yeah. You're way to the, you'll see. So how did it feel then if you did not feel like, you know, you're best about it when he handed you that first impression rose?
Starting point is 00:19:11 Were you shocked? So the funny thing is I didn't know what that was. Um, and I didn't know that it was a big deal. I didn't know that he was walking over to give it to me. I, you know, like all that stuff just didn't, I just was in such a whirlwind. I didn't really get it. And I remember, you know, the other gals were telling me, yeah, that's a really big deal. That's a really big deal. And I, but I, you know, I'm one of those. I'm going to be grateful and super happy that I got the first impression rose, but I'm certainly not taking it for granted. Like, he could change his mind when he sees Ellen or when he sees so-and-so, you know, like I just know enough. I've lived a little bit, not my first rodeo, so I knew that could change it any minute, you know, first
Starting point is 00:19:55 impressions don't always last. And I didn't know, I remember the rhythm, this is the musician in me, of them saying, do you know what a first impression rose was? And I just remember the sound of that and thinking, and I remember I couldn't tell what it was, you know, what is that? The first expression rose, the first, like,
Starting point is 00:20:18 I had to think, what is it and what's it for and why did I get it? I don't know, it was just so clear list. It was embarrassing. Well, you got it. And right now, you are the woman. You're the leading woman, in my opinion. Right? Yeah, definitely.
Starting point is 00:20:35 I mean, we're excited to see more of you this season and see where your connection with Gary goes. But it was a beautiful first episode. And I think people are just going to follow up. You made Serena. Serena's cry. She's ready to cry again. I have to ask you this, right? So an exhausting part of this.
Starting point is 00:20:54 show for everyone our row ceremonies because row ceremonies oh my god they're the worst how is everybody handling it i don't you know everybody was good about it but i don't know if in everyone else's mind was the same thing going on in my mind because i'm like i wanted to turn around and go okay you know what this is nonsense let's everybody take off their shoes like why do we have to stand here in heels why do we do this barefoot like who really cares you know i think i said that out loud once and somebody said um that's fine faith but when you walk up, how is that going to look? My dress would be dragging, you know, six inches on the floor.
Starting point is 00:21:29 But that was the worst part ever. Yeah. The worst. That's the more game faces. I was wondering how long yours was going to go because for us, you know, they happened at like seven in the morning, but yours looked like it was super early as well. I mean, the sun was up. You must have been exhausted.
Starting point is 00:21:48 That first night, we were all like looking at each other going to, do they know how old they are, you know? Do they know that none of us wear? high heels anymore, you know, that we're all into comfort. It was, it was, it was dreadful. I'm surprised, though, that we all bounced back so well, but we really did. I think I went home and slept two hours and I was up for good and fine. And everybody seemed to bounce back pretty well, surprisingly. It's the adrenaline. Yeah, something. Yeah. And we, we don't know, like, we don't know what happens with your story and obviously don't spoil anything. But has it crossed
Starting point is 00:22:22 your mind yet in this first night. Like, if you do end up with Gary, would you move? Would he move? Like, are you thinking of any of the logistics yet or you're not even close to being there? At that point, all I was caring about was, oh, my gosh, do I actually feel something? Oh, my gosh. You know, like, this is crazy. How is it?
Starting point is 00:22:44 And I just kept thinking this could be it. Like, you know, I mean, how is it that I even ended up in the show? So maybe it's a sign. that this is the person who's been the rest of my life with. And I just really wanted to zero in on as if this is a possibility. So I think at this point, all I was thinking about, I didn't think about any logistics, didn't care. All I wondered was, oh, my gosh,
Starting point is 00:23:07 does he feel the same way about me? Because I looked at him and just felt something. So, yeah, I mean, you know, he's quite a bit older than me, and I didn't know if our lives would align in any way, shape, or form. But just the feeling that I got looking into those eyes was enough to keep me, you know, very interested in that moment. So it was good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Out of scale, out of scale, you're okay. At a scale one through ten, how strong is that feeling? In that moment, I would say it was probably an eight in that moment, that first night. Wow. It's a big night. Was there another time, what was the last time you can remember where you did? to feel that with with a guy? 2013.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Wow. Okay. Yeah. So I, you know, yeah, I just don't. I just, honestly, that went through my mind a million times. Is this really happening? Am I really actually feeling this? Because how is this possible?
Starting point is 00:24:09 I've met some wonderful people, but I just don't, I just don't fall for them, you know? I don't know what that is. So, yeah. Well, I can't wait to see what happens with you and the rest of the season. Because we have no idea, and we are very excited. Faith, you want to play a game with us. Oh, geez. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Of course, I want to say yes. You don't have a choice. If you're going to ask me details about the show, I'm going to fail miserably. No, no, no. This is just very easy. We're asking silly, fun questions. Rapid fire. First thing that comes to your head.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Okay. All right. I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the psychology podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about exploring human potential. I was going to schools to try to teach kids these skills and I get eye rolling from teachers or I get students who would be like, it's easier to punch someone in the face. When you think about emotion regulation, like you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome.
Starting point is 00:25:18 as a result of it, if it's going to be beneficial to you. Because it's easy to say, like, go you, go blank yourself, right? It's easy. It's easy to just drink the extra beer. It's easy to ignore, to suppress, seeing a colleague who's bothering you and just, like, walk the other way. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Denial is easier. Drinking is easier. Yelling, screaming is easy. Complex problem solving, meditating, you know, takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast. or wherever you get your podcasts. I think Democrats have for a very long time allow Republicans to play them.
