and you know what else you can also dm us on instagram at bachelor happy hour okay before we get into today's episode we have to give you guys updates on our cruise so far susan and i are on a 12 day cruise to Istanbul. Okay, 11. Who's counting? 11 days. We're doing Istanbul, Turkey. We're starting in Athens, Greece. And oh my gosh, I don't even know where to begin. Kathy, let's talk about Athens. Kathy was so impressed with Athens. I mean, we basically hiked and then hit every store, every restaurant. We only had 24 hours. But how about the hotel? We had a little boutique hotel right in the center of everything. And our ocean was such a doll baby.

We have a new friend. He was. So let me say for all of you who don't know, Susan loves to shop. So we shop until we dropped on the first day. And then I was going to the Acropolis come hell or high water. So I got up the next morning really early. Wait a minute. We went up.

You and I. No, no, no, no. We climbed up and we saw the... We took videos out there. Yes. We saw the sunset. We did climb up. But I wanted to go in.

I wanted to touch the Parthenon. They would let us in then because it was too late. They were, yeah. You have to be there at a certain time, whatever, whatever. But the views, how about it? The views were incredible. The rooftop of our hotel, we looked at the Acropolis. I mean, it's just phenomenal.

It was phenomenal. And they light the Acropolis up at night with floodlights, but then I could not leave Athens, Greece, without going. So Susan wanted to sleep in a little bit. So Kathy got up by herself and trucked up to the Acropolis, found a shortcut, you know, climbing through these beautiful streets and got in and there were no tickets available. And I am so proud of myself, I talked my way in, and I bought a ticket, and I got to walk around and see. the Parthenon and, you know, these thousands of year old structures that are incredible. Yes. Yes.

So Susan had done it before. What happened, Kathy, that you said, you actually pulled out your phone and said, I need the video this. You, we were trying to get in somewhere or something. Like, what was it? I don't know. I mean. You said, that's amazing. When I asked, if Susan does, we get right in.

Well, that happened. I don't know. But let me just tell you, if y'all have not been to Athens, Greece, and you have not, so many of these world UNESCO sites are amazing. And I will tell you, the Acropolis is not disappoint. You get up there and you're walking, and you can just feel the Greek mythology. You can feel the gods. They're talking to you, Athena, Apollo, all of those guys. They're all up there.

It was an amazing day. And then what do we do? Feel, feel and taste the food. It was unbelievable. I mean, they know how to cook. I enjoy food from every country. However, we just got to Istanbul, and we'll tell you about that later.

Yeah. We haven't discovered yet, but we're going to do it. Yes, we're getting ready to. So this cruise ship, wait, one more thing I have to say. Yes. This cruise ship is amazing. The food is to die. for. There's more restaurants. In fact, I think, Susan, I haven't said this to you yet. I think

I could live on a cruise ship. I don't need a bigger bedroom than what I have. They cook food for you? Did you know that senior citizen, this is a known fact that's been printed, that many retire women, older women, book back-to-back cruises like all year round. That's all they do is cruise. And it's probably cheaper than paying rent. Well, you know, that is an idea, and I will say the people are so friendly. You and I have made so many friends. We just got on the ship a few days ago, and we've made so many friends. So I highly recommend it.

I just think it's fabulous, food, entertainment, and someone comes in and makes my bed every day. The service is impeccable. Our little room stewards, they're here every day. You come in in the afternoon, there's always fresh ice, fresh sparkling water, or still water. Everything's pristine. It's a nice way to go. And we love sharing all this stuff with you. We have a lot more to come. So stay tuned. And thank you for letting us share. And let me just say, we've only been on this ship a few days, but I get fresh towels. I get someone to make my bed. Susan, I hate to tell you, I may not ever get off this ship. So just so you know, we are having a great time. All right, let's get into the episode and let's start with the question of the day. what is it like for you interacting with younger people when you're on vacation?

What are the dynamics of the cruise you're on now in terms of ages? Is it a lot of different ages? You know, tell us what you think. What do you think, Susan? That is one of the most amazing things. I've been on several, several cruises and a lot with children. This is adults only. It is totally different than any cruise that I've been on, actually.

There's a mixture of ages. There are some younger ones and much older. So everybody kind of floats. There's short ones, tall ones. You know what I mean? Here's what I've seen. There's a lot of gay influence. There's a few, and the shows are fabulous.

But I don't have a problem feeling with it. We made young friends, Kathy, the Charlie, who don't stop texting us. He likes to chat. We have found that whether you're sitting at the pool, sitting at a restaurant, sitting at a bar. People just lean over. It doesn't matter with their ages. They just want to chat.

They're friendly. Everybody starts a conversation with, where are you from, and everybody knows somebody from your hometown. So it's like this sort of built-in, great little community, and every day you meet new people, and you sit with new people, and you just feel like you have this great new group of friends.

We've already exchanged phone numbers. And don't you find, Kathy, that everybody's happy. They're on vacation. Everybody's in a good mood. They want to know who's next to you. Fortunately for us, a lot of people have recognized us. So we get to mingle and take pictures with these people. And they love that we're normal.

Well, not normal, but they love that we're social. And so many of them have said to us, and I'll quote, I'm so happy to see that you really are friends. Did you remember that, Kath, how many times? Why do people think that we're not? I don't know. I will say, though, the other thing that the cruise sets up that I don't think happens at other vacation spots,

there's bingo night, there's games night, there's karaoke nights. So there's these fabulous set up plans for everybody, and it doesn't matter what age you are. We were, you know, clapping for a gentleman that was probably in his late 70s. singing and bring Sinatra. I'm sorry, Kathy, I just jumped in there. I beg your pardon, but how about that night you went to karaoke? Huh? It's amazing. It's amazing. So I think,

I think that younger people and older people on cruises have this unique opportunity to get to know each other, make friends, and really enjoy each other. We've, you know, I've shared pictures of my grandchildren and my children and people ask me all about Austin, Texas. They want to come visit. It's really, you know, it's sort of like COVID. When you're on a ship and you can't get off, you just start having these great conversations. Nobody's on their phones. It's great. I love it. I recommend it highly. No, it's great. Highly. Everybody's always happy. Yeah, it's a good time. It's a good time. 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, 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?

To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

I am getting married next year and I am trying to decide if there should be kids there or not. Also, any other wedding planning advice you would have would be appreciated. Thank you. Well, Mel, you need to call me. Susan's an efficient, but you know what my advice is, Mel, runoff. and elope. Weddings are the most expensive thing on the planet. The flowers are twice the price. The liquors twice the price. Everything, the musicians. I mean, but that isn't your question. You asked if there should be kids or not. And my thought is talk to your fiancé, see what she or he would like to have. And if you guys come to a decision together, because, you guys come to a decision together,

because it is your day and you get to do your wedding your way. And that is my advice to you. I will say my best wedding advice is plan early. Get it going early because it's a lot to plan a wedding. Therefore, go a lub. What about you, Susan? Yes. Personally, it depends on how formal your wedding is.

There's some weddings that aren't so formal, and I don't think it's a big deal to have kids running around. However, if it were me and your wedding, asking me for my advice, absolutely no children at a wedding. You want to enjoy yourself. The people coming don't want to bring their kids unless you have a babysitter upstairs in the hotel room. A wedding, I think, is for adults. If it's your own children, that's a whole different story. Or if some, the ring bearer, or maybe your niece or nephew, the bride little flower girl, they stay for a part of it and then go upstairs. They shouldn't be there when the alcohol's being

served and so. And Kathy, I'll second you on that start early thing because it is stressful, but if you get things accomplished early on, then don't sweat the small stuff. Because after all, it's a wedding, things are going to go wrong, but just have fun. So two of the things I'm thinking about. One is the little things that go wrong, Mel, the only people are going to know are you, and maybe you're a fiance. No, what else is going to notice? So just have fun. No one's going to notice.

The other thing I would say is you guys have to work together for this wedding. So really, you've got to talk to your fiancé. You keep saying, I'm getting married. I want to decide what to do. I think you really have to plan it with your partner. And one thing I said to my daughter when she got married, enjoy the moment because you're not hopefully only doing this once so but you know hire a videographer hire a photographer do all that but try to enjoy the moment if your wedding planning it you're not

enjoying it as much as the moment i agree but you know what kathy just to remind you men don't have a lot to do with making the wedding plans do you agree or not i think it depends on the age. I think it totally depends on the age. And that's true. That's true. And we don't know how old Mel is. Yeah, we don't know how old he is. But I think, you know, I think she had times of changing, Susan. My daughter's husband, he helped plan the wedding. He had definite things he wanted at his wedding. And that's why I say I think it has to be a combined effort. But Mel. Don't forget to hire your officiant. Susan's available. That person, were you? Oh, boy. No, I'm glad you wrote in. We appreciate it, and we wish you nothing but the best.

Yeah, let us know. Let us know how the wedding goes. It said next year. But you know what? Enjoy the time with your fiancé because the wedding's going to come a whole lot of fashion you think it is. And by the way, may I suggest for a honeymoon, take an adult-only cruise. You'll love it. It's so fun.

On our cruise, there are lots of people who've just got married. Yeah, he's going to have the cruise lines book solid for the next 10 years. It's not a bad way to go, Susan. Not a bad. All right. Let's move on to the next one. This is from Anonymous. Hi, girls.

First of all, I love you both and listen all the time. I honestly catch myself refreshing Spotify just to see if there's a new episode. Lately, though, I've been feeling kind of sad and stuck. I've been with my best friend and boyfriend for eight years. He truly is my person. He's been by my side through thick and thin, and I trust him with my whole heart, which is a big deal for me.

We're both 26 and trying our best, but we're struggling financially. He wants to propose and get married, but says he won't feel right doing that until he's financially stable, which I deeply respect. But it's still hard. We don't live together yet,

Not because we don't want to, but because life is so expensive. We're both living at home trying to save, but no matter how much we do, it never feels like enough. Between student loans, car payments, and the cost of everything, it feels impossible. We dream of buying a house, but be happy with even a small apartment, yet everything just feels out of reach. I don't even know if I'm looking for advice or just needing to vent, but lately life just feels so heavy, a especially when it seems like everyone else is celebrating new beginnings while we're just treading water. Oh, God bless you. You know what? You're allowed to feel these feelings. I mean, that's what makes us. But maybe you need to sit down or hire somebody to help you go on a specific kind of budget so that you're saving X amount of dollars to achieve the goals that you want. it is going to take some time, and maybe you could have started this a while ago. I get you're staying, you're surviving, but if you're living at moms, then there is a way they'll be saving some money for starters. Right?

Kathy, what are you doing? Yeah, I mean, yeah, I think this is tough. I mean, I don't know what their jobs are. I don't know what you guys, I don't know, what you're doing, but student loans are really high. The interest rates are high. Car payments are high. insurance is high. But if you're living at home and you guys aren't able to save money, then I agree with Susan. I think it's time to sort of reevaluate where your money's going and set a budget because maybe,

you know, you go out to dinner too much. Maybe you buy too many clothes. Maybe one too many vacations. I don't know what it is, but life can feel heavy when the weight of financial pressure is on you. So Anonymous, maybe get some advice on how to get on a more stable footing with your partner. And if you're feeling sad and stuck, maybe you've got some other things going on in your life. I will say to you, it doesn't matter what age you are, we all struggle. We all have financial issues. It's about managing your money and your time. And it does feel impossible.

And the other trick is it is going to take time. However, if you are paying rent at home, at first I didn't think you would be because your parents, student loans are the worst. If you are and you're paying rent, then maybe you could get a small apartment, figure it out. If you just don't want to wait, you know, that's a possibility. But take a check, a self-check on what you're spending every week. Well, Kathy made me know it. And I was like, wow.

I was going to say write down. I did this with the don't condolars. Yeah, write down, you know, look at where you're spending your money and write down every dollar you spend for a month. And I think you and your partner will see that you're probably spending money in ways that you could cut and put towards a savings for an apartment. So, you know, do that first. Try, give yourself, you've heard of a fit check, give yourself a budget check. And decide what you're going to save out of each paycheck, and I don't care how short you are that week, you save that amount. That goes first.

My dad taught me that. That was a little hard to do. It really was. But we wish you luck. Now let us know. Let us know. Don't get so depressed over it because it's life. It's part of it.

Your want and need for this should make you pull back a little bit and make it happen. You can make it happen. Yeah. Yes. You know what I learned a long time ago? There is always more month than money. Always. Always.

And on that note, anonymous, good luck. Good luck. Let us know. Let us know. And be thankful for February. It only has 28 days. Good luck. Let us know.

We wish you the best. Thank you so much for writing. Good. All right. Now we have it anonymous again. Hi, ladies. I miss seeing you weekly. Aw. Kathy's so excited to see you on Bachelor in Paradise. We all are. We can't wait. I'm having some trouble in my new relationship. I really like him. But he's having some trouble completing his tasks if you catch my ouch. He said he's had trouble with this before, so I know it's not me.

Well, that's a good thing. But I can't help thinking I could be doing more. And I just don't know what to do. Any advice is appreciated? Thank you. Okay. What do you think, Susan? Right, guys?

You know I want to say it like it is. There's a few things you can do. And I get it. I don't know how old you is. Some men start that earlier than others. First, take a trip to the dock and see if the magic pill, the Seattle, sort of Viagra, whatever, is okay with his system. And then if that doesn't work and you have a good, open communication line, then you would probably, I would introduce some toys that he could use with you to help satisfy your needs. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

What do you think? Wait, the first trip is to the doctor? I would think. C.P. can get some help. Sometimes the little magic pill helps him in. Let me just say, another benefit of being on a cruise ship? Man overboard. Oh, stop.

Just kidding, I'm sure. I mean, it's, listen. What else can you do? I mean, I think he's got to be, what she or he does not say is, whether or not he's willing to get help. Anonymous writes, I can't help thinking I could be doing more. And I don't like that for you to say that anonymous because sometimes it has nothing to do with you. Well, sometimes it's the other person's just chemistry, chemical.

So get him, get him, her, whoever this is. get them to talk about it and go to a doctor and see if they can help. But for you to say you could be doing more, well, Kathy, maybe she's not an initiator. Maybe she's just feeling all this and laying back and not doing anything. Maybe you could initiate if that's the case. If you feel like you could be doing more, maybe you could start it up. Hold on.

Are you seriously, hold on, Susan. Are you seriously going to tell me that a guy gets in bed, with a guy, a girl gets in bed with a girl, a guy gets in bed with a girl. Whatever the situation is, are you seriously going to tell me that if one's interested and the other one isn't, that initiating repeatedly is going to change the situation? It gets things started. I think it gets things started. When they get set in the electric burner, when they get set in their ways and they know they're having a hard time to get an erection, so they stop trying. You still try, and let them know your needs.

There's nothing wrong with that. I agree, but this person says I can help thinking I could be doing more. That's what I'm saying. If we don't know how she is, maybe she's just laying next to him feeling like maybe I should, and she's not doing anything. So he's just taking a pass, watching football, and going to sleep. You know what I mean?

She's got to show him. You are not going to disagree on this one. I would be. and I'd be chatting about men also would feel you don't want to hurt their ego because, you know, that's very easily done and you just want to work with them. You know, I know he's told you he's had it in the past. There's been an issue. And that's when you start the conversation. Kathy and I both agree. It's all about communication. Don't feel embarrassed if you are comfortable with each other. Yeah. Don't be embarrassed. Talk to them about it or her about it, whoever it is, you know. Talk to your partner about the issue, how you feel.

You might find out it has nothing to do with you. What a shocker that would be. So let us know how it goes. You know, have the conversation, get some medical advice, and if it doesn't work, like I said, man overboard. My bed, I'm rereading, and she said she's having trouble in my new relationship. So that communication may not be there at all. forgive me. Yeah, I was talking about somebody that, you know, you've been with for a while.

And I, yeah, sorry, I overlooked that. That is touchy. It's at new. If you're in bed with someone, Susan, then if you're in bed with them or her, whoever it is, you can have the conversation. If you're having, if you're having intimacy, then you can have an intimate conversation. Yes, I agree. So I don't care if it's a new relationship or forever. Anyway, let us know, let us know. If you really, really do like him, if you really, really do like him, then try to work on it. Then to talk about it with them. Let them know your needs.

Because women ab needs. Said Susan very emphatically. I guess we know what you can. And if you need recommendations on toys, just, you know, shoot me an email. And here's Kathy turning red enough to match her dress that she has on. Okay, we need to move on, Susan. I brought Kathy one for her list. Two years ago for her birthday.

Move on. 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 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.

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. 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?

And the one and only Jamil Hill pulled up from this politics podcast to keep it a whole century. Because in America, what sells in politics are narratives and storylines. It's like we treat politics like we treat sports, which is part of the reason why we're in the situation we're in right now.

Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire that not a whole lot was salvageable. These are the coldest of cold cases, but everything is about to change.

Every case that is a cold case that has DNA. Right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime. A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA. Using new scientific tools, they're finding clues in evidence so tiny. you might just miss it. He never thought he was going to get caught. And I just looked at my computer screen.

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. Make sure to listen to Spolitics on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. All right, now it's time for a game. It's icky or picky. Woo-hoo.

All right. We're going to play icky or picky. We'll switch off reading the it. And we'll say if we agree or disagree or if we think it's just picky. Can I just remind you, Susan? Yes. The way I play this game, it's icky, picky, or icky. All right, here's the first one.

He hits the air guitar move, the air guitar move all the time, and it's his go-to dance move. That's being picky. Let him go. I do it on the dance floor. I think I'm a rock star. I mean, I think it kind of depends on the age, but I'm going to give that picky. Yeah.

He's never been able to successfully unhook a braw and you always end up having to do it after he struggles with it for a little while. That's a sad. Is that ew? No, it's just sad. That's picky. It's picky. But you know what?

The next time you're in that situation, say we're first going to have a primer. I'm first going to teach you how to undo the bra. And then you're never going to have this problem again. That's what I would do. I know you're about to go make out, excuse yourself, use the ladies' room. Take the damn raw off. Or be like Susan and don't wear them. This is true.

Oh, gosh. How about today? Kathy, can I just share? So, yes, it's true. It's very hot out. I wear nice nipple shields. They're cool, right? I'm sweating.

We went to, what's the name of the place? It doesn't matter. We were walking around on our short day. Anyhow, I look down in my dress and I go, Oh, no, I could feel it sliding from the sweat. And she goes, why are you putting your hand inside your dress? I said, my nipple shield just slit. So I slide it back up and then we're walking.

And I go, oh, my God, I lost one. The other side's going, Kathy, turn around and take a picture of me right now. She didn't even know why I said that. She does. I go, now look at the picture. Look at this nipple and look at no nipple here because it's covered. We were die laughing. Kathy does not have these problems.

It was probably in the church that I lost my nipple shield. Like, you can't make this up. You know, all I have to say is for most women, this is not an issue. We wear over the shoulder, bolder holders, and we don't have these issues. All right. Here we go. Oh, this happened to me. Before I went on Bachelor in Paradise, oh, this happened to me.

He constantly lies about his height by at least four inches. Four inches I'd call it. Four inches. Ew. I mean, that is, ooh. That is not icky, that is not picky. That's called a lie. And that's it.

It did happen to me, though, Susan. I know. It did. What's that one? You know what? He was supposed to be my height. I looked over his head. I know.

I know. Go ahead. He exclusively uses a three-in-one shampoo conditioner body wash. What's wrong with that? My own business. A lot of them do what he wants. That's picky. Very, I would say picky prime.

That's way. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay. This is disgusting and this is ew. And I'm out the door. My new phrase this week, I'm using it. Get, throw him overboard.

He only has a fitted sheet and one pillow on his bed. If he doesn't have a pillow for me and clean sheets, particularly, you know, 800-count Egyptian cotton, I'm not getting in the bed with him. So that is, ooh. Wait a minute. So he's inviting you over to stay, or you just notice that was in his place that you're not staying? You see that. I mean, if I'm in his bedroom.

I would come with my own set of sheets in my own pillow. You would not. No. If I'm in his bedroom. Sure I would. Oh, Susan. You know, I ain't a lie. Am I like a certain thing?

I bought him down at my boyfriend's house. I brought my whole set of sheets, pillows. Why not? You brought your own sheets to his home? Not my own. I bought a set of sheets for him, obviously. He didn't have sheets. Or at his house.

Yes, of course he did. I just weren't a shoe pair. It wasn't that I didn't like him. I just, so that's the case. Yet another different Susan and me, I'm going to say to the guy, if you want me in that bed, 800-count Egyptian cotton, feather-down pillows, yes. Okay. He always tries to be.

vape indoors, even if it's somewhere totally inappropriate. Oh, answer this one, Susan, because boy, I'm about to turn you in. You're being picky, doll. You're being picky. Let them alone. No. Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. No. I think it's totally inappropriate. I think it's rude. I think people don't like the smell. I think it's embarrassing when people vape indoors when it says do not vape or smoke. I think it is inappropriate. It is an ew to me. What is it? It's ew. And you know what? I won't

date a guy who vape. So really it's a useless question for me. Okay, for me, I think it's just being picky. It's him. It's reflect on you and all because, yeah, I did it. Okay, he still drinks a tall glass of milk with dinner. God bless him, he's a healthy boy. He's got to work on his bones. He's got to give his bones strong. What's wrong with that? Peggy. All right, the only decor in his bedroom are a bunch of different flags. What's wrong with that?

It's nautical. He was maybe in the Navy or whatever. He might be in college. In college, I'd accept that, but not in his own place. I mean, if he's living in a home and you know what, he probably taps out Morse code, too, when he's bored. I mean, I just see the nautical, the nautical flags. What is it for you, ecky-picky? I mean it depends on the age on with you

I mean let me say to you if it's me at my age and he's got nautical flags in his bedroom I am sending out an SOS we're not even having a conversation I'll just keep going to okay he won't give up his jacket ever when you're cold

because he's cold too that's kick him to the curb yes if you know it's cold that you should have have your own jacket because you can't expect them to freeze, but always a gentleman. Yes, I think that's... If I were really cold, it says he won't give his jacket ever, so it's happened more than once. Bye-bye. See you later.

And she should know to bring her damn coat. Gentlemen, man overboard. In fact, it's icky or picky? It's icky, picky, ooh, or man overboard. It's between icky and picky for me. Oh, no. That's rude. No manners.

out. He's out. Okay. It's picky then you said. He asked you not to wear heels to certain events because he doesn't want to be the same height as you. Oh, I thought men got over that a little time ago. That's just picky for me. Oh, seriously, Susan, you love your heels. Yes, I do. Come on. But if he looked weird about it, if he, if he shared with me and asked me not to wear them because he felt weird, That's okay. Okay. So Susan is otherwise known as Amelda, if both of you are old enough to know.

Susan love shoes. Amelda Marcus loved her shoes. I'm going to give everyone Susan's address. I'm giving everyone Susan's address. Go over and help yourself to her shoes because apparently she doesn't care anymore. Aha, I want to see that happen. To certain events, that's all.

He just wants to feel like me. All right. All right. All right. He brings up something you've done. Every time you try to talk to him about something. Oh, so it's like self-present. No, no, no, no.

Isn't that ghosting? No, no. Ghosting's when they don't freaking show up, Gough. This, when she's trying to talk to him about something, he keeps What you did. It's gaslighting. I don't care what it's called. I'm just saying.

That's a man that can't admit fall. So what are you going to do with him? Or something. That's itty. Every time, no, is it ooh? No, to me, it's an ick. So it's not an eke. Who's not really in this, but.

Ooh means it's over. You're making up the rules, Kathy. You are the rule follower, now follow the rules. It, you're a picky go. Which one? I think, I think it'd be kicked to the curb. It's beyond, ooh. It's beyond ick for me.

It is. She said, tiki. Mm-hmm. So do I. It's a... All right. He always talks with his mouth full and sometimes food flies. Wait, it's happened to me. I was trying to get worded.

A little nibble of food, friend ducks. Always? It says he always talks. It's a ick. Yeah, it's a big ick. Yeah, it's not right. All right. Oh, God.

Last one. He always wears ill-fills. Fitting clothes. Either way, too big or too small. Oh, honey, he needs guidance. You need to dress him. How many different boyfriends I've dressed? I've teach people without a dress.

No, that's, it's picky, but he really does need some help because you don't want to be embarrassed. Like, babe, that doesn't fit you, okay? Do you want a dress a guy? Do you want a dress a guy? Oh, sure, I'll take him out shopping. And showing what looks best on him, what to look for you. I did it for you. Remember?

Susan, I hate shopping. You got to do it. That's different. I don't wear ill-fitting clothes. No, you don't. You're exactly right. Men don't have a clue. He didn't have a fashionable mom, probably.

I just don't want to raise any more kids, and I don't want to buy clothes for him. Figure it out. I'm just, no. It's icky. It's icky. It's icky. But you know what? wait a minute, if you'll sign on to take him shopping and you'll buy him the clothes, then it's picky.

I'm not paid for the clothes. I said I'll wardrobe him, but he's, you know, going to have to pay for it. I want not just run out and buy everything. I would take him with me and teach him what looks best on him. And Kathy, like I said, being in the fashion business, I've helped a lot of people understand what looks best on them. I mean, you and I've had that conversation many times, remember? Oh, God, that was fun, wasn't it? That's always fun with you. Always, always. Always.
