Thank you. Hi. Having me. I'm so excited to be here. How are you? I am doing so good You look beautiful I'll tell you that

Your smile is radiant Aw Thank you That was so much So I just have to jump right in Because I heard That you rekindled With someone

Yes Yes How did it happen Like did you call him Did he call you Did you bump into him At Whole Foods I mean

Yeah I ran into each other we had always been like we've always been good friends and then after the show reached back out to me and I we just decided to kind of give it another shot and it's going really good I'm really yeah I think everything happened for a reason and I'm just this season of my life I'm I'm really happy and I'm really enjoying it all and so much has changed but it's all really exciting and really good thing. So it's all very positive right now, and I haven't had that in a really long time. So I'm just feeling really thankful and blessed. I love that. So Daisy, tell me what makes this, like you haven't posted a lot about him. I know his name is Thor, but you haven't posted a

lot about him. And Susan and I were wondering, are you, when do you bring a relationship out in the public how are you handling that especially coming off of a very public dating show yeah definitely i think coming off the show um i mean an airing for everyone to see and it is like a dating show so i feel like a lot of people are going to be more invested in my dating life versus if i hadn't done like a reality dating show if it would have been something else which i think is a really unique and cool thing but I think it also can be a little bit stressful at times. And I think just kind of, you know, I wanted to kind of feel it out. And, you know, like, we're like me and him are still like growing and like figuring out our relationship and everything too.

So I feel like it's kind of a thing that I've been kind of slowly like integrating. But we spend a lot of time together. Do you live in the same town? No, we don't. but we see each other pretty often which is nice and we're not that far he's in Vegas and I'm in LA right now

so that's not too far but yeah we're making it work so yeah but I think yeah I think like coming up I'll be like posting more and stuff which I'm excited about you you know what it's nobody's business but yours

yeah so when you want to share it share it and if you don't it's all about you Yeah, and that's something I've been trying to navigate, too, and a thing, too, on, like, my social media, like, a lot of people, I think, were so drawn to me because of, like, my story and my health issues and how I've, like, gotten through them and all that stuff, too. So I think on my social media, too, like, that's a huge, like, important thing for me to share because I want to talk about that also and all that stuff. So I think making it, I mean, it is my social media. Right, right. So that actually, Daisy, is our topic of the day, is, you know, how do you decide how much of your relationship, your personal life that you want to share online versus, you know, keeping her private? So it sounds like you're trying to navigate that.

Yeah, I'm definitely. And like, this is all so new to me. Like, I feel like I'm kind of in this whole, like, new world. And like, I mean, I'm so mean. and like my life is still a lot the same, but it's also really different. So I think kind of learning how to navigate, not just even posting and talking about my new relationship, but also talking about like my family and talking about stuff like that. And I am a very like open and vulnerable person.

It kind of, it took me a while to be like that, but I am. And I think I want to keep doing that and sharing that. But I also like I want to respect like. my family and my friends and the people and like my boyfriend, you know, about like sharing. She called him a boyfriend. I want to say that. You know, I was just going to say, Susan and I don't really, well, Susan does. We don't get to say that.

We don't get to say that because we don't worry about our private and public life because we're not dating anyone. And so it's really simple. We got to find you guys some men. Your lips. Your lips to God's ears, Daisy. I'm going to start looking. Okay. Keep us in mind.

Keep us in mind. We need a whole new show. We're probably the luckiest people in the whole world. Aw, Davey. She's beautiful and sweet and kind. It's so not fair. I got to have it. So we wanted to touch on.

You talked on the bachelor about how dating was difficult. with a cochlear implant. You know, can you expound on that just a little bit? And, you know, why was it or has it been so difficult for you? Yeah, I think the difficult part was I was sick for such a long time. So it was kind of dating people. I always thought who would want to be with me when I come with all this extra stuff. I'm not just like a normal girl in my life.

At that time, like my life will always be a little bit different. but at that time my life was a lot different. And so it was kind of, I never wanted to feel like a burden on someone, which I think like me looking at somebody who like has the health issues that I have or went through what I went through. I would never think that when I'm looking at them. But when you look at yourself, for me, I think it was hard to kind of realize that and accept myself when I was going through all of that.

So I didn't want to, I felt like I didn't want to put that on anybody else. And then when I started getting healthy, It was kind of how do I explain all of this to someone and how is anyone ever going to understand? And I think it was my aunt or my sister, I was telling them that one time. And they told me, they said, you know, Daisy, nobody's ever going to understand. Even us, your family, the people closest to you, they're never going to understand exactly what you went through. But the most somebody can do is try to understand. And that kind of flipped the perspective for me.

And then I got my cochlear implant a little over a year ago. And my life honestly just started changing. And I was so much happier. And I felt like I was just living life again. I mean, I could hear. I could communicate with people. And it was difficult. So I'm curious, is it getting easier and easier to understand the longer you have the cochlear implant?

Yeah. It gets better and better every time. It was actually, I think like a week ago, I was playing a song and I was like, oh my gosh, this sound is like how the singer used to sound before I started losing the meeting. So it's a little moments like that that are really special and it does just keep getting better and better. I have a question for you. Do you feel as if you weren't as hard on yourself back then that it would have been a little easier? Yeah, I think it like to date. Yes.

yeah i think it would have been definitely easier today but i think i was going through so much like emotionally and physically that i think it was the best thing that i focused on myself and you know like focused on building myself up because i think if i wouldn't have done that it wouldn't have i just i remember i think it was on like a podcast right after i got after the show and I was like if I would have gone on the show even five months earlier, six months earlier, I don't think I would have been able to completely handle it. I think I was still kind of figuring myself out a little bit and I was still learning how to hear with my cochlear implant. So everything was just like perfect timing. I definitely feel like God had a plan with everything

because just how it's all, like, went and it's all been such a beautiful thing for me. It's been hard at times, but definitely, like, the good has overpowered, like, everything. Are you so proud of yourself? You should be. Yes. 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 OKC. 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.

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'm Jemel Hill, host of 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.

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 Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this.

Attention passengers. The pilot is having an emergency and we need someone, anyone to land this plane. Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could. land the plane with the help of air traffic control. And they're saying like, okay, pull this, and so this. Pull that, turn this. It's just, I can do my eyes close.

I'm Mani. I'm Noah. This is Devon. And on our new show, no such thing, we get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence. Those who lack expertise lack the expertise they need to recognize that they lack expertise. And then, as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what?

Oh, that's the run right. I'm looking at this thing. Listen to no such thing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. How old are you, Daisy? I am 25. So while you're talking, first of all, you speak so eloquently. But, you know, Susan and I talk a lot about at our age, you know, we've lived. learn so much. And our stories are very different when we're at this stage in our life. But

do you think part of your dating, yes, a cochlear implant is a huge thing and it's dramatically changed your life. But don't you think that I'm asking your age, like you're changing so much when you're in your young 20s and just adding that on top of it? I just feel like you've handled this masterfully. Thank you. I definitely, I don't think I would have handled it, like the way I have if it wasn't for my family and my parents that I have. They really kind of picked me up and helped me navigate everything and figure everything

out when I was really struggling. And even still, they're like always people that I go to. And my friends, I have such, like, an amazing friend group from high school and college that I'm just, I'm very, very blessed. that whole aspect and like going through it like that age you are I remember like when I graduated college it was like everyone was getting

these cool jobs and doing all these things and I was sick and doing treatments and had to go over to Germany and stuff and right so I think I think it definitely I had a different life experience at that age than most people do my age

but I think in a way it prepared me for a lot and I think it's given me a really unique outlook on life. Do you have any advice for any other young woman going through what you just went through to make it easier on them? I would just say, like, you have, you have to keep, like, believing that you can get through it and then it's going to get better and to really lean on the people that love you and also be, like, open about when you're struggling because there was sometimes, like, I didn't want to tell people that I was really struggling

because I didn't want to like hurt them or be but you know sometimes you sometimes you just you need some help and like it's okay to need help and I sure when you say you didn't feel good what what were you feeling when you were sick when I was sick yes like what kind of sick were you um it was like a bunch of different things I would have seizures there were some days I like towards like the end before I went to Germany and got the treatment there I like was laying in bed all day. I couldn't really get out. My parents would have to help me out of bed and I would be throwing up in the toilet. But before that, I would have like a lot of migraines, vertigo. I just felt really weak. You said you had Lyme disease, right? Didn't you, Daisy? Yeah. Yeah. And my son.

And look at you now. Yeah. So, so you just answered that women should believe in themselves and reach out for help. What would your dating advice be? You know, what do you wish the guys had done differently. And what would you tell guys out there about dating someone with a disability? I would say, like, don't be afraid to, like, ask questions about it and ask them, like, how they're feeling and how they're doing. And also, like, you don't always have to be going and, like, doing things and doing things. Sometimes the best thing is just to, like, stay on the couch and hang out and do something. Yeah. So does, does Thor, how does he support you in this? Obviously, it's working whatever he's doing.

Yeah. Is it just something that clicks? Yeah, it's just something. I think it just clicks. And he's just, he is the most, he, he's like the kindest person I've ever met my life. And he would do anything for anybody. He's just a very, like, giving, loving person. Just like you.

Just like you. That's a perfect match. Takes two to tango here. Yeah, but I. I don't know. He just, and he just, he has so much respect for everyone, like, shows so many people so much respect. And he's just constantly, like, uplifting me. Wow.

What's the best date he took you on so far? The best date. So he was actually, well, it wasn't really, like, a date, but I'll call it a date. But we, he does, like, off-road racing. And I went off-road racing with him. And it's cool because he, like, loves to do it. It's one of his passions. So to be, like, in that element with him was really, really fun.

And I went in his, it's like an off-road race truck and went in it. And it was terrifying. I was just going to say, were you scared? I would have been scared. How fast was he was scared? I looked down at, like, the speed, and it said 117. And it's like, it's not great. It's like you're off-roading.

So it's like a bunch of bumps and like, I saw 117. I was like, you know, I can't look at this speed. I love it. That is awesome. So, Daisy, when, when, I mean, there's so many people out there that, you know, have disabilities that want to date and, and, you know, they struggle, I feel sure, knowing when, and I know you talked about this on the show a little bit, but when, when do you disclose, when's the right time to disclose a disability? Because I think you really do, um, you represent people, I think women and others with disabilities listen and really want to

understand. And I think you have a good idea of when that should be disclosed. Yeah. I think it's when like when you feel comfortable about it and when like a person that you're with should feel comfortable around talking to them but is a hard thing to talk about because not everybody understands it. And I do, I really understand that. And so I think knowing like when the best time is for you to share it and also you don't want to be with someone who's not going to love and support you so if you do open up about it and they don't have a good response you wouldn't want to be with that person anyway you know that's sort of like a built-in red flag isn't it I hadn't thought about it like that yeah interesting but it is

it's like it's a part of me like this is always going to be a part of me um and so Sometimes, you know, you don't know how people are going to react to it. And you wouldn't just tell anyone, it would be somebody that you're feeling some chemistry with and that you trust. Yeah, definitely. And I feel like some people are very open about like disabilities. Other people are not. And that's okay too. But I think for me, found that it's way more easy to be open about it and help other people try to understand it.

because I think about too, like I go and talk to, I go and read my book to a lot of like elementary and like preschoolers about my cochlear implant stuff and a lot of them, it's like their first time seen something like that. And I remember before I found out that I had to get a cochlear implant and this is for like everything in general. Like there's not like there's not enough of awareness about stuff like that. So if someone asked me a question and it's, Like any question that someone asks me is if they're doing it in like a respectful way, it's not a dumb question because, you know, they want to understand what I've gone through, you know, so I'd rather them ask questions and be open about it. And I especially talking to like little kids about it because I've realized like it's so intriguing to them because they've never, a lot of them have never seen anything like that or talked about things and disability. And children are innocent.

They're they're not judging you ever. they're just, as you say, clearly intrigued by it. They just want to understand it. Yeah, and I think a lot of people, even as you get older, are intrigued about it too, but they get scared to ask questions because I think sometimes in society, like, we're told it's wrong too. So I just kind of, I think after being on the show, too, it really made me want to bridge that gap and open up more conversation about it and let other people, people with disabilities

feel more comfortable. When you first got it. I know you couldn't immediately hear every single thing. You had to get used to it, right? Yeah. What was that feeling like? It was, I thought it was going to be way scarier than what it was, but I think I was so excited when I got it activated because sometimes you can't hear speech.

And I could hear speech. It just sounded really kind of weird. It sounded like chipmunks. Like, but it was like. But I. I looked at it as like a game. And so it was like every sound I heard, I was getting closer and closer to winning the game. And I remember I woke up in bed and the first thing I do is put it on.

And I heard my like sheets move. And I was like, I forgot that made sound. And like the dishwasher making noise, rain drops, that all of that, I had forgotten that made noise. Wow. That's a miracle. It is. It's technology, right? It's just hearing how it has changed your life.

You know, Nancy on the show was on our show and she talked to us about, you know, you really are an amazing person. You encouraged your journey encouraged her to get a pump for her diabetes because she was very self-conscious about it. And literally after watching you on the show, she said, you know what? It's a disability, but it's something I live with. Yeah. So just know that you're crossing all generations here. And her ear candy, as she calls it, because she wears them. Yeah. You are good for everybody.

And I'm so happy for you. I'm so happy for you. I loved you. I loved the way you exited that show. You were first class and humble and beautiful inside and out. And we're so happy for you. Thank you. It means a lot coming from you.

too. Yeah, you are truly, I wish everyone could just see the beautiful smile. You exude. That we see. Yeah, you exude confidence, beauty inside and out. You really are an amazing woman. So, Thor, if you're going to listen to this, you're going to have to answer to us if she ever doesn't have a smile on her face. Or any other guy she decides today. Let's not just pick on one. 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. 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 never envision being with a woman. I'll just be honest. I'm Jamel Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Spolitics. On this week's episode, I'm joined by basketball legend, Candice Parker, who stops by to discuss her candid new book, The Can Do Mindset, in which she shares why she waited two years into marriage to come out.

Like, when I close my eyes at night, every night, I was like, I need to find my prince charming. Like, it was never a princess. Like, that never entered into my mind. But, you know, as I learned, sometimes life gives you things wrapped in the package that you did. expect it. And that was just, you know, and honestly, it took me a long time to be okay with myself. Make sure to listen to this week's episode of Spolitics on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hi, my name is Enya Yumanzoor. And I'm Drew Phillips. And we run a podcast called

Emergency Intercom. If you're a crime junkie and you love crimes, we're not the podcast for you but if you have unmedicated ADHD oh my god perfect and want to hear people with mental illness psychobabble yes yes then emergency intercoms the podcast for you open your free iHeart radio app search emergency intercom and listen now so daisy we we do some advice questions you want to join in on this with us We read some questions. It's fun. We read some questions and then you kind of give us your perspective and what do you say? Are you willing in for it? No, I would love to. Okay. All right. You want to go

for the first one, Susan? Sure. Okay. This is from Ava and she's 28 from Seattle. Hello, ladies. I'm reaching out about my relationship with my partner. We dated in high school, early college, and she cheated on me back then. We broke up. and I was heartbroken. Now in our late 20s, we've reconnected and started dating again. But we feel like two totally different people. I usually don't go back to X's, but we've both really grown up and have healed from what has happened in the past. I think we are a really good match now that we have time to go our separate ways and find our way back to each other as adults. The problem is my family and friends have not forgiven her and are making it very hard to welcome

her back into my life. They are on the once a cheater, always a cheater, train, after seeing how much she hurt me. But we were really young and I have moved on from it. How do I get them to let go and just be happy for us? I think she could really be the one and I'm feeling sad they won't give us a fresh start and her a second chance what should i do exo eva they grew up i mean you have to let it do it again there might be a little concern in the back of their minds i think how about you daisy yeah i feel like if you're close like with your family they love you more than anything so they're always going to be

looking out for you but i see you happy they're going to be happy for you it just might take some time. Like you said, it might be a little bit of concern. Give them time. Yeah. I think you haven't have like a sit down, like conversation with all of them or some of them. They've obviously grown up. She's mature. They both matured. She's apologized. And they want a fresh start. I mean, you have to take chances in life, correct? Mm-hmm. Yeah. I think the, I think the family, um, sometimes families just need time to see, you know, I don't know about you, Susan, but I, we are mama bears and we, our children,

we take care of them and we don't like to see our children hurt. I'm sure, Daisy, your parents don't like to see you get hurt. So I just think, Ava, it's going to take a little bit of time. And when they see how happy you are, you know what? The past will go into the past and the future will be bright. That's what I think. Just enjoy your partner. It's sometimes not about what our parents think.

It's about how you're feeling with your partner. You know, like my children, if their spouse, if they do something, I don't want to know all the bad things if they argue or fight or something because then you develop a thing in your head. You know what I mean? Like you're not going to like them or accept them or whatever. Do you talk to your parents a lot, Daisy, about your relationship with just in general. Do you talk to your parents about dating? Yeah, I'm very open with them. I would say

like throughout high school, maybe I didn't as much, but I feel like you're kind of going to like that awkward kind of life. But when I went away to college, then everything I started talking with them about. And I talked to them about everything pretty much. So based on this question, I got to ask you, Daisy, what did they say when you got back with Thor? they love him they've like always really loved him but my parents they're very they're very loving people and well it's obvious listening to you that you got it we got it from somewhere did but you guys didn't part i mean you and thor did not part in a bad way back in the day no no it was we dated for a little bit and didn't work out so we stopped dating and it was like we were always friends in

the in-between time. Yes, it wasn't like anything bad. It wasn't like something. So how excited? How excited are your parents now? Did they say, we always liked him? Are they on that train? Yeah, they're on the train.

He watched you grow up and bloom and become this magnificent, sexy woman. He was like, what did I do? I need more of that. You know what he did. He just waited around. He waited around for her to go live her life and get straight with who she is. and then he's he he's sore because remember he reached out to you is that right daisy and if he proposes you know who to call right yeah i know she always works that in always all right well

let's move on to our second question here this is from carl he is 58 and he's from minneapolis hi golden hour podcast my name is carl i listened to your episode with nancy where she talked about the gentleman who didn't want to date her her because she has diabetes. I am also struggling with dating now as someone with an autoimmune disease called AS, and I'm going to try to say it, ankylosing spondylitis. Very good, Kathy. You're welcome. I felt called to reach out for advice after hearing Nancy, so thank you to her. I feel like no women my age are open to help take care of me when I need it, though I mostly care for myself and fail good a lot of the time. I go back and forth on if I should even

share about my condition because of how my dates have responded. Thank you both for any words of wisdom you may have. Best regards. That's a perfect scenario of what we just asked her. When do you share? When's a good time to share your disability? Yeah. Well, I think that's the first question here. I think Carl also, you know, he's 58. He's not starting out his life like Daisy. And so at 58, he said no women my age are open to helping taking care of me when I need it. So clearly this is a guy that's going to need some care. But I think Daisy hit on it earlier.

You know, if you forge a relationship with someone and you see they have a caring heart, that's not going to be as big an issue, I don't think. What do you think, Daisy? Yeah, I don't think so at all. Yeah, if you meet somebody that I truly love you and care for you. Daisy, are you familiar with the story that Nancy told about this guy? You may not be familiar with that. She dated a guy.

Yeah, thumbs down. She dated a guy. And I think on the second date, he said to her, because I guess she told him that she was as diabetic. And he told her he didn't want to see her anymore because he really didn't want to date a woman with any health issues. Subsequently, so that was it. Subsequently, he married a woman who now has a life-threatening health issue. So, you know, that's just bizarre. But Nancy, she was brokenhearted that she really liked this guy.

Did you ever get rejected because of your condition? Me? Yes. Not that, like, I know of, but I also wasn't really, like, dating much, you know? Yeah, yeah. But, yeah. What advice do we have for Carl? Well, my advice is don't open up about your diagnosis until you really feel comfortable with that person.

Yeah. And if you don't feel that she has a heart as warm as daisies, probably not the woman. for you. So I think it's timing. It's all timing. Yeah. That's a tough one though, isn't it? He's 58 years old. And it's a muscle thing, right? It's it's an inflammation of joints. It's a very painful. Crippling like you can't move. Yeah. It's it can be very painful. You can't move well. I wonder how long each episode lasts. I don't know. I have to get on WebMD to figure it out. But I can tell you, it's a tough diagnosis. I actually know someone who was diagnosed with it, and it's not, it's not an easy thing.

But again, Susan, we talk about as we get older, we, you know, we have issues, health issues, and anyone that we decide to date, it's, it's, it can be an issue. I mean, a guy that I dated for a little while and we're just friends, he just got a cancer diagnosis. I mean, we're getting to that age where, unfortunately, health issues become a concern. Which is why I started four weeks ago, wait to hear this, Daisy. Now I'm a person that never worked out, okay? I saw something on TikTok and I do. I started with 50 pushups off the kitchen counter, not on the floor, and 50 squats and some tummy work and backwork on the floor.

I'm up to 70 a day, and it's week four. So I was on television for something, and somebody wrote in and said, Susan, your arms and your shoulders. I was like, oh, my God, it shows. So that just goes to show you, you got to work out. You got to take care of your body because anything can happen just like Carl. Hey, Susan, who got you working out? Oh, you had me walking.

I know, Kathy, 95 degrees. Susan came to visit me in Austin. I said, let's go. We're walking. I bet you work out, don't you, Daisy? Yes, I do. I've been, like, traveling so much. I actually said, like, I need to figure out a way to, like, plan.

Do the push-ups off the bureau. I'll send you a video of me doing it. Okay, I like it. I like it. Yeah. Daisy, you are a doll, baby. I just hope we get to be in each other's company again. Yes, I would love to see you guys in person.

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 great. 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. Now, hold up, isn't that against school policy?

That seems inappropriate. Maybe find out how it ends by listening to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
