This is an I-Heart podcast. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, luckily, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend's been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.

On a recent episode of Culture Raises Us podcast, I sat down with Warren Campbell, Grammy-winning producer, pastor, and music executive to talk about the beats, the business, and the legacy behind some of the biggest names in gospel, R&B, and hip, hip-hop professionally i started at death world records from mary mary to jennifer hudson we get into the soul

of the music and the purpose that drives it listen to culture raises us on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts hey everyone welcome back to bachelor happy hour i'm joe and i'm serena and we are back with our first recap of jen season which is it's her first night one uh we haven't done this in a minute no we've been recapping old episodes so we actually and a half but that's true actually we have been recapping night ones of older seasons um which has been really fun and a little more relaxing because the season's already aired so we know how everything plays out but it actually feels like it's been a while because if you think about it the last new night one recap we did was joey's season back at the beginning of january yeah so it's

been a hot minute i'm feeling a little rusty going into this but i'm excited that we're back on track with a new season of the bachelorette makes our jobs a lot easier and i will say a new little format that we haven't seen ever yes which is so we are now seeing instead of you know before you have like a little which we still get like a little package of the bachelorette and a little like get to know her and you do see the like tease of the end of the season and then usually you get five or six guys, you get their hometown packages. I was thinking of something completely different when you said a new format. What were you thinking? I was thinking because we're at, we're not at the bachelor mansion. Oh. We're at a different house. But they've done that before. They've done that

before. And honestly, this house looked very similar and gave very similar energy to the bachelor mansion. I totally forgot most of the episode that we were at a different house. If they don't address it at the top or you don't say anything, there's a good chance I don't notice. About the Bachelor Mansion? Yeah. Wait, what? You don't think if they didn't say anything you would have noticed? I wouldn't have noticed. I think you absolutely would have noticed because the outside of the house is different. Yeah, it's actually really, it's actually beautiful. I really liked the house, actually. Yeah. But the inside looked very similar. Yes. The art department did a great job of giving it kind of like a similar vibe and aesthetic to the classic Bachelor Mansion. But yeah, Joe and I've been watching so many night one episodes that we are pretty used to. to the format that they've followed now for however many years. And that wasn't the case. I liked the flow better, I think,

because it was like this guy comes out of the limo and then you learn a little about them and then this guy comes out of the limo and then you learn a little bit about them. So you like it? I do like it, yeah. You don't want it to go back? Which do you prefer?

No, I like the new format, I think. But I was into it. Okay. Okay. So I noted a few guys that come out of limo. Obviously, the first guy out of limo is always somebody that usually sticks around. This guy was Marcus. He was the Army Ranger.

He came across pretty confident, a good-looking guy. I thought he was good. I liked him a lot, yeah. She seemed to be into him. So we didn't see him much. We saw him in the beginning because he was first at the limo and then we saw him at the end because he was one of the guys being like, I don't know if I'm going to get a row. The rose ceremony, and then he ends up sticking around.

But I feel like throughout the middle of the episode, we didn't see too much of him. No, but he's somebody that I would be like, all right, this guy will be, this guy's middle, at least making it to the middle of the way. I agree. I agree. Then we see Marvin. He comes out and speaks French. Sam. Sam, I jot it down because he was like, I'm a virgin, love virgin.

Yeah. How do you feel about that? Would that line work on you? No, it wasn't my favorite. But I mean, I get it. You know, he's introing himself. He has never been in love before. Yeah.

What are your thoughts on people that come on the show having never been in love or in a relationship? I don't have an issue with that. He's a relationship virgin, too, he said later in the episode. Yeah, I mean, before I came on the show, I never really had a long-term relationship. Oh, yeah, you never had a relationship, period. Yeah, I mean, smaller relationships with nothing long-term.

Right. I don't have an issue. I think it's fine. I mean, the point of the show is to potentially fall in love and get married. So even if you haven't been in a long-term relationship, it doesn't mean that's not what you're looking for. 100%. And I think Jen made a comment at one point that kind of summed it all up nicely where she was like, I'm here looking for love. And he is here looking for love. And that's all I care about.

Yeah, I don't think their past, their dating past really matters. I mean, I think there is something to be said for like knowing what you're looking for and having it. experienced relationships both good and bad to kind of learn about yourself and how you want to be in a relationship. You know what I mean? Like I think if everyone thinks back to their very first relationship, there's things that they would be like, oh, like I would never act that way now or say that now or do that now. Oh, yeah. But that doesn't mean you can't like, that doesn't mean you can't fall in love with that person. Totally. And I think your first relationship can 100% be your last relationship. I mean, there's tons of people that marry their high school sweethearts, like half your

friends, marry the high school sweetheart. But I mean, if you are the lead, if you're going to look at statistics, you're probably better off choosing someone that has relationship experience and knows more of what they want because odds wise, that's going, your relationship's probably going to have a better chance of last thing. I would say you're correct, but I'd also be curious to actually know what the stats are on that. Yeah. I also like, 50% of people now, like, get divorced. Yeah, so, like, your odds are bad no matter what. Like, just pick who you love.

Yeah. Yeah, that's all so true. But I think Sam's going to do well in the show. I like that he's coming. Do you? Yeah, I do. I like that he's coming out, like, super vulnerable. Did he get the last rows?

Yeah, but I don't know. That doesn't always, that doesn't matter. I don't think that matters in the first episode. There's just so many people. There's so many guys. See, I don't know. I don't know about him. I think he'll stick around for a minute.

We, another one I jot it down was grand. who came out rapping yeah and then he got into almost like a like more of a slower R&B

he wasn't really rapping he was more like rap singing I love that yeah do you though yeah I do

no you don't because you instantly said when he came out singing you went oh no yeah I did say that and that was why I hesitated look here

when anyone comes out of the limo rapping, singing, poetry, any sort of verbal creativity, I'm instantly panicked for them. I have like premature secondhand embarrassment. How is this going to go? What have you done? Why did you make this choice? But I would say overall it went smoothly and it was like a cute little song and Jen was into it and it wasn't awkward. So that's why it's okay. Yeah, he he went in with confidence and he delivered well. He was able to pull it off. He's a good looking guy. He was able to pull it off. Yeah. If he's really handsome, you're going to be like, okay, it's cute. And you could tell like he knows, like, you could tell he just knows how to speak

to women. Yeah. So, like, he was going to make it okay. So. Yeah. Granted, just fine. And they show him he is another guy. So we have a few guys showing off their money. Now, Grant was a guy showed off in, you weren't really paying attention, but I noticed it. He has like, in his video, in his package video, had it was driving a Ferrari. Oh, was he? yeah um cars just go right over my head yeah and there was another guy the other guy that came out of the limo or when he didn't come out the limo he drove in some kind of sports car i saw that and then tossed his keys to jesse palmer and went like hey palmer uh keep it up front for me yeah wait i wrote that guy down who did that he's like a um i think a real estate investor in new york or

something oh he was the guy that made the penis joke right because jem was like did you just say the P word? They like bleeped it out. Yeah, I don't, that I wasn't paid attention to it. I would literally be quaking in my boots if I had to go out and throw my key to Jesse Palmer like he was the freaking valet. Yeah, here's the thing. I could never do that to sweet Jesse. Oh, my God.

I actually felt so uncomfortable watching that. Also, Jesse Palmer has, Jesse Palmer's watch is probably worth more than that car. Like, come on. Like, Jesse Paul, like this kid made. Also, Jeremy. The guy's name's Jeremy. Jesse Palmer is rich rich And

It's just Here's the thing Like I think It's just never I don't have an issue with it Personally With him Treating Jesse Palmer

Like the valet No that that I think Was just a joke No it was 100% a bit I'm not trying to take it too seriously What I'm saying is I don't really have an issue with Like contestants coming on

Like flaunting their money Like whatever Let's be real That's not his car But also also it's never You don't know that We don't know that We don't know

pretty sure that's not his car. Okay, but if it is, I can understand why he was so mad about that other dude trying to get in it. But here's the thing. It's never a good idea. To flaunt your money. To flaunt your money on a show about finding love on this show. Like this, this is the wrong audience. You want to flaunt your money go on like selling sunset or or a fucking real estate show or something. Going on the bachelor, flaunting your money, you, you instantly are going to lose sympathy from the audience. Really? You think?

Oh, yeah. Nobody, no one watching this show is cheering for the rich person, the rich guy. I think though, we did talk about this with Trista's season. Like, there has been like a dynamic change since the beginning where all these guys were flaunting like their careers, their money and their wealth. And now they really are just looking for like, I want a genuine person who's here to find love and to get married and settle down with. like the love of their life yeah and money does not have anything to do with that journey

and I do agree like coming out in a flashy car is fun and all I didn't think it was his car I thought it was just like a gimmick I thought the whole thing was a bit if it is his car good for him I don't have that car happy for him but I agree with you like no need to come out and flounce your money on this show to any yes I just I just yeah I just don't think it at home I just don't think it's a good idea but hey like also like he could have been joking the whole time and that's just how it comes across, but that's the risk you're taking. Yeah, I feel like, well, we saw a little, like, controversy with him and another dude later on, but we can get into that. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious.

Oh, wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now he's insisting we get to know each other But I just want her gone Now hold up, isn't that against school policy

That sounds totally inappropriate Well according to this person This is her boyfriend's former professor And they're the same age And it's even more likely that they're cheating He insists there's nothing between them I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person

To believe him because he now wants them both to meet So do we find out if this person's boyfriend Really cheated with his professor or not?

I'm Jemel Hill, host to the Sports and Politics Podcasts Politics. And on the latest episode of Politics,

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joins me for a candid conversation about the state of the Democratic Party. What do Republicans say to you privately that they won't say publicly? Many of them are in fear of their political lives, and that's been part of the challenge. But we continue to say to them, you were elected to defend your constituents, to stand up for your.

constituents and there's life after Congress and you should be willing to actually want to be able to look back on your time in the House of Representatives knowing that you can keep your head held high because you did the right thing. Donald Trump is gone in three and a half years, but their legacy or their failure to stand up to the extremism and the unprecedented assault on America as we know it will be with them forever.

Next we see Sam M, who we see a lot of him in this episode because he's the first impression rose guy he goes on to win the first impression rose he makes a shot a clock joke which was kind of Jen's joke from when they announced her which honestly in my opinion I think we need to retire it Jen is super fun

and she's got a great bubbly energy and you can tell that she's here to like have a good time I mean she's 26 like okay go yes Sam he did mention that he his last girlfriend cheated on

them, which that's opposite. I think he was engaged. Yeah, his fiance cheated on him. That's opposite of flaunting your money. That is probably what you do if you want sympathy on this show. So there's two choices you can make night one. You could be the guy

that is looking for love who has got cheated on in a previous relationship and the audience is going to be like, oh my God, take care of this man's heart. Or you could be the guy that shows up in a Ferrari in you know, flaunt your money a little bit

and the audience is going to be like, fuck that guy. And those are your only two options, guys. Carr or you were cheated on. If you don't follow one of those categories, don't come on the basketball. Or you could do what, you could do what Brendan did

and eat a hot pepper. That was so crazy. Wild move. I was so stressed out watching. I actually really respected it. Like, I might keep that guy around if I'm Jen just because I'm like, this was both insane and ridiculous,

but you know what I respect the move I'll remember it I remember it you said Brendan I immediately know who you're talking about it was like yeah the guy they ate two hot peppers before you even entering the house I'm like someone get this man a cup of milk yeah yeah I was so stressful but I liked it because she's kind of made herself out to be this adrenaline junkie and I like that he was like I could handle the heat I thought it was a cute entrance it was kind of crazy but I liked it I liked it too but he ended up going home I know I was bummed about that poor guy and then we have His stomach's going to be hurting for days and so was his heart after that night.

I think last game we could talk about out of the limo is Aaron, Noah's brother. I like the package. I like that Noah was, I like that they had Noah in Aaron's package where he's like sat down and was, hey, I'm Noah and then they moved him immediately. Yeah. That was funny. For everyone listening, so Joe and I obviously know Noah very well, Noah as in Noah and Abigail from our season of Bachelor in Paradise. But I have never met his brother. I don't think you have either, right?

Not even like on FaceTime or anything. So the only thing I know about him is what he looks like from photos. And he, you know, him and Noah are fraternal twins, right? They're not identical. They don't look very much alike. They do and they don't. Hearing him talk was the trippiest thing I've ever experienced. I kept closing my eyes and like covering Joe's eyes being like, this is Noah.

Like I hear they sound so much alike. They talk so much alike. it was it's going to take me a minute but they really but they really are different like they have they look very different yeah and it's just his whole Aaron's whole demeanor is much more different his demeanor is totally different but the way he speaks oh for sure is exactly the same his voice they're identical voice twins they are identical voice twins but Aaron was married at 21 obviously he's divorced um and he's come on the show to find love he came out on a motorcycle i liked it i thought overall it was solid um wait two more people i want to touch on one my toronto homie thomas a

came out with puppies that was my favorite entrance really oh my god it was so cute i love puppies okay and i think it's just like interactive and it's fun and i also think that's giving a little like friend zone? Puppies? Yeah. I mean, you think the hot pepper's giving sexy zone? Well, no, I think that's true. Listen, I didn't say I like the hot pepper one.

I don't really, I wasn't that into the hot pepper either. But here's my thing with puppies. I feel like there's got to be some science behind like, how do I describe this? If I meet you for the first time and you bring puppies, puppies make you feel good. They must release like dopamine or serotonin or like one of the things that makes you feel good. Puppies or peppers? Puppies. And then I'm going to associate that feeling of feeling good not only with the puppies but with you.

Okay. I just think there's got to be some psychology. I just think you're biased because he's from Toronto. I am biased because he's from Toronto. But I'm also biased because I love puppies. And then who is the other one that I remembered? Oh, Devin came out and he had a package. too, actually.

Which was Devin? Devin's the one who was like, not every day you get to meet your future wife. And then his package talked about how he's really loud and he was raised by a single mom. Jen compared him to Pete Davidson, which I was like,

well, that's a choice of a comparison for sure. I think she likes him. And he has a big... Well, yeah, I mean, Pete Davidson is definitely like a compliment for sure. He has a big personality. Um, I would say who, who are your, right now, who are your two, who are your favorite guys?

My favorites or who I think? No, no, no, your favorites. My favorites. Um, just two. Hmm, that's kind of hard. Can you go first? Yeah, I really like, um. Just based off limos or based off like the whole thing?

Just based off the whole night. Okay. I have one. I really liked Jonathan. He was the one who came out naked, not naked, sorry. He was in like a hospital gown. He had his face wrap the whole day. Yeah, yeah, he's likable.

Very likable. I really liked him. He's super handsome. When he took his mask off, I was like, oh, he's a cutie. He had like a good personality overall. Yep. I liked him a lot. Yeah, he was, I would say he was one of the more likable guys.

Him, I really like Dylan. Is Dylan the guy who got the first rose of the night? Yeah, I liked him too. He was the way he's like, he's younger. He's only 24, but he was. Oh, is he? Yeah, but he's very mature. He's going to school to be a doctor.

Yeah. Yeah. Really liked him. I liked him a lot too He yeah He was like one of my favorites So those two I like Marcus I don't think I see a future for him and Jen

But I liked him He was the military guy Yeah like the military guy And I really like Brett Which I'm really upset that she sent Brett home Brett justice for Brett Yeah and I love him so much And I was so sad

I actually was shocked He wasn't even on my radar To be potentially going home Like there was a few guys I was like eh Okay yeah Like you're looking at the the group of guys who like don't have roses

standing at the rose ceremony and I'm like starting to peg who I think might be getting sent home and then all of a sudden I see Brett walking out of the house I'm like where is he going? Yeah I think a lot of people are going to feel the same as us. I'm upset I'm upset too I really wasn't expecting that I would say like such a sweetheart

two other guys we need to talk about before we wrap this would be I'll start with Thomas and because we are having him on happy hour and we're going to interview him so it seemed like they had a good conversation and we will talk to him more

he's a swimmer, good looking guy and they seem to have a decent connection and he gets a rose so I think he'll be around for a little bit but we will talk more to him and get more of his background and his dating life and what he's looking for and try to feel him out and see if he's with Jen or not and then the other guy would be the first impression rose yeah Sam M

Sam M was early out of the limo he was the one who was engaged cheated on shot a clock contractor he was also the first guy to pull Jen yeah like right after that right away and all the other guys were like oh here we go which usually the person that's like really bold the first night you either end up loving them or hating them I feel like they or they like go away to like midseason well those are the only three options well he we kind of see I feel like I don't think he's gonna just like disappear he's got a pretty bold personality no and we also see in the trailer at the end of the episode you you you almost are kind of like believing that he may be

a potential villain Yeah I just don't know Because they mentioned a They mentioned It's hard because they have two Sam Exactly They mention a Sam

But then they show him But usually It's going to be About the other Sam Yeah But I That I don't That I don't know

But he She's definitely I mean he gets Usually the first impression Rose Very suddenly He goes home Soon

100% And she didn't kiss Anyone Night 1 Which I actually was surprised but I don't think we've seen that the last person I can remember that only kissed one person on night one she did kiss someone she kissed him she kissed him oh yeah but I was gonna say the last one she kissed it was the only guy she kissed the whole night interesting which is so rare

I know Matt James only kissed his first impression rose on night one but since then I don't remember anyone that hasn't kissed multiple people night one interesting she described the kiss as feral which I thought was kind of funny yeah because they were making it pretty hard yeah Okay, that's interesting My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly And now I'm seriously suspicious Well, wait a minute, Sam, maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit Well Dakota, it's back to school week on the okay story time podcast

So we'll find out soon This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her Now he's insisting we get to know each other But I just want her gone Now hold up, isn't that against school policy?

He's the striker. And I would just feel bad not shouting him out after he had to strip naked night one in front of a bunch of strangers and run through the mansion. Power move. It does feel like that. like it does feel like this um uh actually i was i was gonna it's definitely it's given these guys

are given the same energy as it's reminded me of like the rachel and gabby guys where it was more like you don't think so no i do yeah because it was there was a lot more like i guess like playful having fun fucking around energy. Like I kind of just like when I think back when I think back about Gabby and Rachel season I remember like the the pasta sauce and like who's going to throw the pasta sauce on them and it just was like more of a well because the first one of the first dates Rachel and Gabby did was that like not truth or the talent show date where they all had to do a talent show at the house. Do you remember that?

Yes. And I feel like they all really shined and had a lot of personality. to share. Yeah. And I feel like Jen's guys also have, like, there's some really big personalities. I mean, like, Grant, Sam, Devin. I'm trying to think who else. There's a bunch of guys that I was like, okay, we've got some good personalities in this group.

Yeah. Which is always bound to make an exciting season. Devin's giving, Devon's reminding me of, what's his name from charity season? that we interviewed a million times Aaron B no we interviewed him a million times I know I

I know we know him Oh oh I know I know exactly that I have Braden Braden yeah Sorry We interviewed him a million times Yeah we have

Brain's been on here like six times He that's who he kind of reminds me of I can see that yeah It's like a big personality I would say Braden gives more like hippie energy than Devon does Devin and Jen's conversation reminded me of

Olivia and Will's conversation about sucking on toes, day one of paradise. Oh, okay. Oh, also at the end of the episode, it's kind of a surprise they're going to Australia. So that's cool. That was so cool. And you could tell the guys were genuinely stoked, which I would be. I'd be like, yes. Well, yeah, because usually they don't travel until I think it's week four.

So they're probably thinking, okay, we got to settle into this house now. But they all get to travel, which is so exciting. I've never been to Australia. I feel like The Bachelor would be an amazing reason to go. You're with all these guys. But you do see Jen kind of get emotional at the end of the episode before we head into the season's teaser, just talking about how throughout the night she felt that there were points

that she wasn't necessarily people's first choice to be there and to feel so loved. She definitely got emotional, which I can imagine going into night one. And, you know, we'll talk to her at some point. She had certain fears and insecurities about it. But I do feel like the guys are really into her. Yeah. Yeah, they do too.

So I think she's got a good group of guys. Yeah, I feel like it was a successful night one overall. And hopefully it kind of only builds her confidence being the lead as the season goes on. Yeah. Because, as we know, it takes a little while to settle into the role. Yeah. Well, we'll see. What did you think of the teaser for the season?

I thought the teaser look good I think there seems like there's a lot of a lot of fighting amongst the men So yeah I'm excited I'm excited to see what happens Jen's whole thing is that she Always has picked toxic guys in the past Do you think she's going to break the cycle? I don't know

Because they kind of leave the ending of her season Like up in the air on what happens Yeah and I think there's going to be a lot of like Guys bringing other guys to her attention who may be toxic because that's a that's a trigger point for her and I think that's going to be a thing but I mean amongst like 30 men like you got a bank on at least one or two being kind of toxic one or two probably half I know I was being generous but but yeah we'll see I think it looks like a good season I can't wait for

the rest of it to come out so we can watch it and recap it okay uh before we go now with some of the guys eliminated should we do our top four yeah so Joe and I, last few seasons, if you have been listening to Bachelor Happy Air, which hopefully you have, we've been predicting our top four. But we didn't do it. Usually we do, or last season, I think we did two from the headshots in the bios and then two from night one. And we actually were pretty good. Like, we were pretty spot on. I'm going to write this down in the notes app.

Okay. Jen's predictions. All right. Do you want to go first? Or do you want to alternate? Like you go, I go? Yeah. Okay.

So I'll go first. You go first. So if I go first, you get next two. Oh, yeah. Okay. You're so fair. Thank you. I'm going to choose Devin.

And my top four predictions are Dylan, Jonathan, Grant, and Thomas A. And we weren't allowed to do any overlaps. So. And we may have picked two on an episode before, but disregard that if we did. Pick two? We may have done like, no, we didn't. Oh, we didn't do it. Do we wait? Because I remember after I was like, oh, shoot. we were going to pick two from headshots then we're like that's okay we'll just wait till night one

okay well if we did disregard because these are the real predictions these are our top these are these are the locked in top four predictions and yeah also another quick shout out before we end this episode to the guy that brought out the step stool super original never been done before I love that you can't let this go love that so original that was my entrance no I don't know how to remember that was the first time I've seen I presented it differently Because mine was like trying to get on his level because I'm sure. And his was putting Jen on a pedestal.

So he put his own original spin on it. Sure. Yeah. I don't know. It was first time I ever saw. No, it was it? No, it wasn't. Thank you guys so much for listening to Vessor Happy Hour.

This person writes, my boyfriend's been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her.
