This is an I-Heart podcast. I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the psychology podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. 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. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denials easier.

Complex problem solving takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the. iHeartRadio 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, 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. 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. In sitcoms, when someone has a problem, they just

blurt it out and move on. Well, I lost my job and my parakeet is missing. How is your day? But the real world is different. Managing life's challenges can be overwhelming. So, what do we do? We get support. The Huntsman Mental Health Institute

and the Ad Council have mental health resources available for you at loveyourmindtay.org. That's loveyourmindtay.org. See how much further you can go when you take care of your mental health. What's up, everyone? Welcome to another episode, Bachelor Happy Hour. This has been a big week.

We had Charities finale. I hope you caught our podcast with Charity and Dotten. It was one of our favorites. We got to do it in person. There's two parts and we dropped them both. So make sure you check. them out if you haven't. Some big news. The Bachelor in Paradise cast has been released and we're going to talk about them all. Some of the things we're going to say make sense. Some of it we might

just make up if we don't remember the person. So we're going to have fun with it. We're going to break down every single person. And I don't know about you, Serena, but I'm pretty excited for Paradise because I feel like that's our show. Yeah, I agree. I feel like it's very nostalgic watching Paradise for us. It's also, I would say, the most, like, fun, upbeat, unhinged show that they have out of the three. Yeah, I feel like they have a little more leniency with what they can do and what they can say on that show for some reason. And then for those who don't know, this season will be premiering Thursday, September 28th at 9-8 Central on ABC. And then you can stream the next day on Hulu. so it's going to be right after the Golden Bachelor.

What do you think about the Super T's? And also for our listeners, if you haven't watched, there's a Super Taser out. They released it at the After the Rose show. Yes. So when we were at Charities after the Final Rose live taping, they released the Paradise Super T's and aired it there. I love, so I'm a trailers girl.

Like I like to go to the movies to watch the trailers. I think that's like one of the most fun parts. I've tweeted that before. You have tweeted that. You also love the trailers. Yeah, I love the trailers. It's great. When the end, I get upset when the movie starts. Yeah, you're like, I will just sit here for two hours and watch trailers. I used to do that. I would go on YouTube and just watch like movie trailers, especially for like horror movies that I'm never going to watch because I'm too scared. I'll just like go watch the trailers. But it's not as fun as being in the movie theater seeing a trailer. No, it's not. That's the magic of it.

And it kind of felt like we were in a movie theater watching a trailer when we were in the studio getting to watch The Super T's. But because I love trailers, I love the Super T's that comes before the show. I also love like the midseason big coming up on this, like the rest of this season of Bachelor and Paradise, like the big midway one that they do. I love that. And I thought the Super Tis was great. What did you think? Did it get you excited for Paradise? Yeah, it got me excited.

I'm excited I What I try to do when I watch When I watch like a teaser I'm like Who are going to be like the stars of the season Who based on Based on the Super teaser who I think Yeah

Based on the Super teaser I think it's going to be Braden Yep And I think it's going to be Cat Mm-hmm Well, I feel like, though, the reason you're leaning towards those two people is also because at the Mentel All, we saw a little clip from Paradise of Brayden and Kat.

So I feel like they're the people that we've seen the most content of the spar. Yes. And I also also like Braden coming off of this current season and he was such a main focus. I don't see how he wouldn't be. And he's original cast. And then I feel like cat's going to be someone that's pretty sought after. And that usually for, usually that makes for somebody who's getting a lot of air time. Yeah. Who's a big focal point. Yeah.

No, I agree. And then we've got some crazy moments like I'm trying to think. We had someone asking someone to suck their toes. We had the poop baby thing. The turtle shot could have definitely done without that. There's always going to be things. My eyeballs were like, no, thank you. There's always going to be things that we don't want to see that make the air because there's a lot of people out there that are into that.

But you know, what I do want to see is people fighting and people falling in love. And we know that we're definitely going to be getting both of those things. Sure. Do you have any predictions? Other than. Well, let's go through the cast. Then we'll make the predictions. Okay.

I'm ready. Let's go through the cast. We're going to go through them in order the way we see their. faces and first alphabetically oh wait it's not alphabetically uh no it's not alphabetically my bad she's coming at me you've been coming at me today okay um so first one up we have erin s from charity season he is the fireman guy we don't we see we see some of him i i watch him like this guy is 100% going to be on paradise um he really um he's a little older he gives me Kenny

Kenny vibes I think he even kind of looks like Kenny I can see it yeah he's got like the open shirt

with the chain with the short brown hair he like looks like he can be from Chicago he's a fireman so he has that like yeah

like that blue collar sensibility like that he he just really reminds me to Kenny I think he's gonna be

from what we've seen he's pretty vocal and I think he's gonna be in a lot of I would say he gets into a lot of arguments.

I think so too, because he was quite vocal about Braden in the house. And just the other guys. I think he was the one that made a comment on charity season. Like, I know right now, like who's here for the right reasons and who's not. Yeah, but he also stuck up, him and Braden are friends because he stuck up for him at the reunion show.

Yes. But yes, that's true. But he was also very vocal about the fuck Peter drama and like did not like Peter. Yeah. And even after it all, he was like, I don't like you. Peter. we see in the super teaser him and Peter like getting into an argument I think yeah he definitely has a bold personality I feel like I'm curious to see more of his personality because I feel like

we saw a lot of the like angsty drama stuff from him but I feel like he's probably quite funny as well I just I'm just making a guess yeah I don't know we'll see we'll see what happens I think he's going to be good I think he's going to be good I think he sticks around I don't know if he sticks around, but I think while he's there, he's going to be entertaining to watch. Like, I just feel like Paradise is going to be where he shines way more than on the bachelor's. Okay. Now, if you look at all the women out of everyone here, who do you think? Honestly, I don't know. I don't know because I didn't really see his time or connection with charity. Yeah, but like if you had to take a guess. If I take a guess, I'm going to go Greer.

Really? I'm going to go Sam. Okay. Yeah. Or Sam. Yeah. Okay. Next up. We have Cat W. Now, she was from Zach's season. She, I remember her being from New York. I remember her saying like Gobagol, like Super Saw, whatever. What? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was a thing.

It was a thing and I just remember. She had some like crazy. I know my Italian, my Italian cured meats. Okay. She was the one who was making like crazy facial expression. impressions. Right? Yeah. And I think she was making, was she making cat noises? I think she's, we interviewed. She was on clickbait. Okay. And what was your impression of her from your interview on clickbait with her? She was definitely eccentric. Like she was definitely somebody that I was

like, oh yeah, for you to go on a show like Bachelor in Paradise makes sense. I don't know if I see anyone in this initial cast list that I would pair her with. Maybe hot Sean and her, only because I think that would be so funny together. Yes. I would love that. Okay. Next up, we have Kylie. And she is from, also from Zach's season.

I just, so every single girl here. Oh, wait, no. No. There's three girls that aren't from Zach's season. But a lot of these women are from Zach's season. But yeah, that makes sense. He was the last man. It does make sense.

Just like a lot of these men are from charity season. Kylie? I don't know. I think she was, I think she's very likable. I remember liking her on Zach's season. Yeah. And I've heard she's just like an absolute sweetheart. Yeah. Very nice girl. Yeah. And I think that's what she's going to give in Paradise as well. Yes. And I think that as a viewer, it didn't seem like her and Zach really had a connection or at least his connection with her was nearly as strong some of the other women. But I think she could be someone to find love in Paradise. And it would be nice to. watch her and see what she's like in a relationship. Yeah, I would say she's somebody that the show is probably like pulling for like hoping she finds someone. Like hoping she gets engaged.

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 as a result of it if it's going to be beneficial to you. Because it's easy to say, like, 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. Denials 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 Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So in the last month, the Midas Touch Network beat Rogan, Tucker Carlson, Candice Owens, Charlie Kirk, and Ben Shapiro all combined. Conservative podcasts can have a major political impact, but the Myceles Brothers, three siblings with a serious media strategy are building an alternative to that. On the latest episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, I sat down with the brothers behind the Midas Touch Network

to talk about how they built a progressive media powerhouse from the ground up, why audience interaction is the key to political influence and what it takes to fight disinformation at scale, one download at a time. We should be focusing on the issues that actually occupy a lot of the mental space in Americans' minds but are filled with conspiracies,

and we should fill it with the truth and solutions. Listen to next question with me, Katie Couric on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In sitcoms, when someone has a problem, they just blurt it out and move on. Well, I lost my job and my parakeet is missing. How is your day? But the real world is different. Managing life's challenges can be overwhelming.

So what do we do? We get support. The Huntsman Mental Health Institute and the Ad Council have mental health resources available for you at loveyourmindtay.org. That's loveyourmindtay.org. See how much further you can go when you take care of your mental health. Okay. Next up, this one, you kind of, I think, I'm watching this. men tell all you kind of knew this guy it wasn't the end of his story was night one peter the pilot

which we saw the whole fuck pete thing yeah for those in case you missed it peter went home night one on charity season the guys do not like him they still don't like him so there's definitely going to be drama surrounding him coming down to the beach so we're going to see more of that for sure but i i i don't know Well, I mean, if he finds a connection, I can see him sticking around. I think he may stick around. I think it's just so hard. Like, if you come down and all these guys are against you, like, you got to find a pretty strong connection for someone to be like, okay, I can look past that.

All you got to do is find one girl. It just takes one. And he seems like a nice guy. Seems like a good looking guy. Like, maybe him and Jess. I don't know. Yeah, I can see that. him and Mercedes

Brooklyn Okay next up Hot Sean If you don't know Hot Sean Hot Sean was part of charity season I would have protested if there was no

Hot Sean in Paradise That's all I could say about that Hot Sean was made for paradise Hot Sean belongs in Paradise This is the perfect place for him Even his headshot is giving like I'm here and I'm ready Yeah

It is He's like leaning forward He's got two buttons undone on the shirt. If there's ever been anyone born for paradise. That natural curl coming through in the humidity. He's like ready to go. It is hot shot. I can't wait to see more of him.

Okay. We have Sam from Clayton's season. I don't remember much of her at all. I remember her because she came out in a bathtub and her entrance like really stuck out to me on Clayton's season. But didn't she go home? She went home night one. Okay. But I believe she's like lives in San Diego or she like hangs out with the San Diego.

The San Diego bachelor crew. Because I feel like I've seen her like out with Abigail and Noah before. Okay. So yeah, maybe she comes down. She's already met some of these people, knows some of these people, has heard about them. And we know she is the poo baby girl. So there's going to be, she'll definitely be there until that happens. and we know that's at least like 10 days

right because I'm pretty sure she's like I think she says seven days okay she's like I haven't she definitely got a rose from someone so we'll see more wait wait wait did we see Aaron S in the promo being like I'll yeah

it's not your poop baby it's our poop baby and that's why I said I think Aaron S will be with Sam yeah also I also think they like just like look like they they like they look like they look like they'd be a very attractive couple. Yeah, and they kind of like look alike.

There's like the dating or siblings thing. Like people tend to date people that look like their siblings. And they don't look like siblings necessarily, but they have like a similar look to them. Yeah. Okay. We have Mercedes from Zach's season. Yeah.

She looks beautiful. This is an amazing photo of her. She also, she was also on clickbait. And I remember interviewing her in thinking, wow. this girl's has a great personality. She's cool. We didn't get, and that was another one

who probably just didn't have a connection with her. No, you really did not. You did not see her that much on the show. I mean, she is beautiful and she clearly gets along

with the other women because I know we saw that she was just on a trip with like charity and I think it was like her charity, Kylie, Cat, Mercedes.

Yeah, they were at the Good Time Hotel. I'm missing someone. But yeah, they were in Miami together. Yeah. So yeah. Oh, and Jess.

Oh, yeah. There we go. Wow. A little reunion moment. Yeah. I think she'll be there for a minute. Okay. Aaron B.

Aaron B is from charity season. He is the guy that went home number four and then came back and then went home again. Aaron B, you knew he was going to be there, top guy in charity season. A lot of drama surrounding him. Him and Braden don't like each other. So according to Brayden, they liked each other on the show. Yeah, which is great. And then they got into the, they got, they didn't like each other.

Yeah, which is great because then we're going to get to seal all that in Paradise. Do we think they'll make up? I think they will. Yeah, I feel like everyone makes up. It's so easy to make up in paradise. Yeah. It's unfortunate, but I think they make up. Okay, now we have Jess from Zach's season.

I think she's also going to be somebody that we see a lot of. She went home. I remember her going home on Zach's season because she had called Zach Allen just like you haven't even considered taking me out. Yeah, no, it was awesome. Her breakup was Zach was really entertaining to watch because she was like, I just want a one-on-one. He was like, I don't understand why you want one. She was like, I literally just want to hang out with you. And he was like, I don't get it. And then she went home. Honestly, I think at the end of the day, they just didn't have the connection that she thought they had. And she probably was never going to get a one-on-one. And he obviously can't say that. But I do think that she is super cute. She seems like she's got a really good personality. She's also known as like the glitter girl. She was loading herself up with body glitter all season. I guarantee you. I guarantee you in the intro for paradise, you know how everyone gets their like own little thing. Hers is applying body glitter. She also takes things. Something I noticed is she takes things very seriously. I remember interviewing her and like jokingly saying something and maybe it was just she might just been nervous. Maybe it was just a bad joke on my part. She seems like someone who like has like

high, high, high, low lows to me. Yeah. Like she like feels the good. strongly and she feels the bad strongly. I think she's going to be very emotional in paradise. Yes, I think so too. But I do think that she's going to be like sought after. Okay, so next up, we have Will,

who you said you don't, you looked at the headchats, we looked at the headchats before this podcast and you didn't remember him. So Will, Will, will is from Michelle's season and I remember him because someone threw his jacket in the pool,

and he started to cry and he was all over the place. It was like he won a group date or something and he got awarded, I believe, this jacket. Oh, I totally remember what it was. He was the winner of the Top Gun Date, which was a sick date. And he like overcome,

overcame a like serious fear of what they were doing. And he ended up getting this jacket and special time, I think. And then one of the guys threw the jacket in the pool, and he ended up crying, which, A, he's probably tired. B, I get it. He, like, overcame the fear.

The jacket meant a lot to him. And that is the last, I think we saw of him. I don't think he lasted much longer. And it makes sense that they're bringing him on paradise. Yes. Well, he's like a good-looking guy and probably a little emotional. Everybody on the show is good looking. Yeah, that's true.

Like, they don't, they're, they're, like, you know, that's, that's the show. Okay. Next up, we have cat I, and she is from Zach's season. She went pretty far. I want to say she was number four-ish, maybe four. I don't think she went to hometowns. Okay, then she may have, maybe she went home right before hometowns. She was really into Zach.

Yeah. We see a lot of her in the teaser. Yes. She's at the beginning. She's the one who was making out of the water and then got smacked by the way, right? And it looks like she has a connection with Braden at some point. So I just think we're going to see a lot of her. Yes.

I like her and Brayden together. Yeah. They were both at the after the final rose. Yeah. And I didn't see them speak to each other one time. I did not see them speak to each other either. So that's either a good sign or a terrible sign. True.

true okay speaking of the devil braiden himself braiden from charity season i don't think anyone's shocked to see this guy in paradise for sure for sure so he'll be there um and yeah excited to watch him again you know we obviously you don't want to just be solely a braiden show again because we did see that at the front end of he's wearing like crazy dangly earrings in the the front end of charity season we all get it braden wears earrings so hopefully um we talk more about love about that. Okay, this, I'm actually very shocked, very shocked that this person is bad. I'm shocked too. I'm, I really did not think she would go back. Right. So Eliza from Zach's season, who was on Last Paradise, who we see flip-flop between Justin and Rodney. Rodney. So Eliza, if you didn't watch

last season, came down, was with Rodney. They had a really good thing going. Just Justin came down. She ended up going on a date with Justin, flip-flop between the two of them, kept Rodney, left to go back with Justin. And I think that flip-flop kept going a little bit after the show because we did see it unfold on the reunion. She ended up with neither of them. I don't think any of them really get a longer talk anymore. Well, Justin and Rodney, you're fine. But I mean, Eliza. So she had a hard time. And it was super emotional. Also, also correction, I believe I said that she was from. Zach's season, but she's from Clayton season. Clayton season. She, I would not say her story would be considered a happy story from her last season of Paradise. Yeah, and that's why I'm shocked that she's back, but she's back. So we'll see. Hopefully she has a happy ending this time. Okay. We have Brooklyn. Brooklyn is from Zach's season. She, I think she was a fan favorite. I think a lot of people liked her. I thought she had some, I thought she kind of had a connection with Zach. She did. But, you know, there was definitely a lot of respect there.

But I don't know if there was actually like a strong romantic connection. I felt like more of a friendship. Well, they may have, yeah, I think, I think that was the vibe I got what Brooklyn is. They had like a friendship bond. So hopefully, hopefully she finds a romantic bond and on the beach. Fingers crossed. 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 as a result of it if it's going to be beneficial to you.

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. Denials is easier. Drinking is easier. Yelling, screaming is easy. Complex problem solving,

meditating, you know, takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Listen to next question with me, Katie Couric on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Smokey the Bears. Then you know why Smokey tells you When he sees you passing through Remember, please be careful It's the least that you can do Because it's what you desire

Don't play with matches Don't play with fire After 80 years of learning his wildfire prevention tips Smokey Bear lives within us all Learn more at smoky bear.com And remember Only you can prevent wildfires Brought to you by the USDA Force Service

Your State Forrester and the Ad Council all right um blake moines the man of the moment Blake moines if you don't remember him Blake was on Claire slash Tasha's season um he didn't he went like decently far I think he left right before hometowns on Tasha's season yeah but just to break it down Blake was super into Claire had like a really strong connection with her was super into Tasia Then went on Katie's season and got engaged to Katie. So we are on route for a marriage for Blake on Paradise.

Like if anyone is getting married on Paradise out of this cast, it's Blake. Well, Blake also, yeah. Blake obviously can fall for someone pretty easily. And I think there's enough women here that Blake will fall for someone. And I think Blake's a catch. He's a good guy. We've been out with him a few times. he does his

animal safari life life he's very into wildlife rescue programs I believe I don't know exactly what they're called He asked me to go on one He asked me to go on

They did like Joe's like I'm only going on one where we're staying At the Four Seasons Yeah I was like no thanks He's like well that's not a lot of them Well I know Noah and Zach Clark went And they said it was awesome Yeah I just don't think I would have enjoyed myself

You're not really a nature boy No, not a nature boy. Prefer the city. The city, cigarettes, people, not that I smoke, but just like, you know, the dirtiness of the city. Well, maybe Blake will thrive out in paradise because it's like. Cigarettes. Why don't even say that? It's all nature.

Yeah. Okay. Next up, we have Greer from Zach's season. Greer we saw the awkward, she had to, like, leave because COVID and then came back and had that awkward Zoom. call what's that? Remember the Zoom date thing? Oh, how can I forget? She had the chat where she tried to like compare and it felt forced but also like I got what she was trying to do. She was just trying to like relate to what he was going through in that situation. But Greer over Zoom said to Zach, they were having like a virtual rose ceremony cocktail party because Zach had COVID. She compared

his situation to when she got COVID at the end of Q4 at her job. And Zach did not like that. Yeah, he was like, it's not the same. Yeah, he was like, it's not the same at all. Like, I don't even know why you would make that comparison. So felt bad for Greer. It was also, like, quite funny. But I think she, yeah, I don't know. I think she's another person, like similar to like a Kylie who like seems like we might get to see more sides to her if she finds a connection in paradise, which I hope she does.

I think she will. Okay. And then we have Olivia. from Zach's season, who I don't remember on his season at all. But I do, I think it was at the woman tell all. I think she kind of made a little bit of a splash at the beginning. She definitely did something to stand out there. Yeah, because I do remember her, but like nothing from the show is really ringing bell.

She kind of looks like me a little bit. That was her, that was her Paradise audition. And she. It works. She succeeded. She, we see her in the promo asking, it looks like Will to suck her toes. She says, would you suck my toes? Jeez.

There's always someone's sucking someone's toes. Which I'm just like, if you're sucking someone's toes, like Paradise is not the place for it. Like everyone's feet are gross and sweaty and sandy. Yeah. Yeah. Unless that's your thing, then knock yourself out. And then last but not least, and it would make sense that she is last on this list is Rachel, Rachel from Clayton's season. Also Rachel from Gabby and Rachel, bachelorette's, double bachelorette. Are you shocked that she's here? No. Me neither. I'm not shocked that she's here. I'm happy that she's here. I think after having Becca come down as a former bachelor's on our season of paradise, find love with Thomas. They're now engaged. They're having a baby. I think she's,

She has been a great, like, role model and leading example for other leads to potentially come down to Paradise. So not to spoil anything, but we do have a podcast coming out with Gabby and Rachel where we do touch on Paradise with Rachel. And she did say that Becca going back, being the first lead to go back, was one of the reasons why she decided to do it. Yeah, and made her feel more comfortable and inspired to do it. So way to go Becca and way to go Rachel I'm super excited to see her down here She's got a super like upbeat bubbly personality Which I think is going to be very fun in paradise

Are any of these guys from her season OG Kester? Not all these guys I was actually looking for that And not one of the guys from Gabby or Rachel's season Is the original cast for Paradise Well you know they're going to drop someone for Rachel's like that's There's got to be

Wow Okay Well I will say Like a lot of them We're on the last season So yeah We will We'll see

And that that wraps up The entire cast I think it's a good cast I'm excited for it I think it's a great cast There's lots of great personalities Lots of beautiful people I think we're gonna get

A good season Yeah you have You have some of the Some OGs You have Rachel You have Blake Which always makes sure You have a lies

I just can't, I really cannot believe Eliza is coming back. I know, I'm shocked too. That is, that's the cast, very excited for it. I can't wait. The super teaser definitely did not disappoint. I'm sure we're going to see some more stuff. They'll be leaking more. I know.

I'm excited for them to release more teasers up until the premiere because like I said, I love the teasers. Yeah, I remember one thing I do remember, I will tell a quick story. And then we are going to wrap this podcast. But I was, I went to a Cubs game. and we were in like their 1914 club, whatever the club is, because it was like half raining outside. So we were watching the game like via television and I'm talking to my friend and we're just having a beer and then my one buddy's like, hey, that's you making out with somebody on TV and

I didn't even realize they were running a commercial through the game and I looked and I'm like, oh wow. Was it me? Yeah, it was you. Better been. And I was like, wow, there it is. I'm back. I'm back, baby I wonder if that's how Blake's Oh no, Blake's never done Paradise No Blake's better enough Blake got engaged on the show

So And we also see Blake's ex-fiance Katie come down Yeah We see Hannah Brown We see Charity Oh yeah

Yeah Hannah Brown I forget we see Hannah Brown come back A lot of good Cameos Yeah Yeah that's gonna be fun

Yeah Blake and Rachel both got engaged on the show. I think that might be the first time ever in a in a cast release for Paradise. You have two people that have already been engaged via the show. Yeah, you might be right. That's a new. You might be right.

So yeah, excited for it. Can't Wait. Do you think that they have a chance of getting together because they could bond over that? Blake and Rachel. I could see it. But I think because they both have experience in that, If they don't get together right away Yeah Knowing both of them I don't really see them together But I definitely think there'll be at least like a bond

Between them because they have so much more Experience than anyone else down there really Well that is there's definitely Because even when I was there There wasn't anyone Like I was I was the only like Repeat customer

And then when Becca came I remember feeling like... No, you and Becca hung out and talked a lot because you really had so much in common and I feel like Blake and Rachel will be like the equivalent to what you and Becca's friendship was on the beach.

Yeah, and Tia came back. So once like people that I knew started coming back you just felt more, I felt more comfortable. So they probably will definitely have that as well, I think. Okay, that's it.

Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. 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. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denials easier. Complex problem solving. Takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the iHeartRadio 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, 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. Like, they will punch back. Listen to next question with me, Katie Couric on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
