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.

Listen to the new season of Dresses Come Again on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, everyone. Welcome back to Bet Your Happy Hour. I'm Joe. And I'm Serena. And we are here with Maria to get into more of the nitty-gritty of her time on Joey's season and everything after.

This is Maria Part 2. do it. In past relationships, have you ever self-sabotaged? Always. Yeah. Okay, wait, not always, a lot of the time. Because, like, for me, it's like, sometimes I, here's a thing. And this is what I think I've learned very recently. It's where, like, I need to trust my instincts more. And I think that when I tend to self-sabotage or ruin a good thing, it's because they were, it was never mind to begin with. And I think I learned that along the way when things are like presenting itself as being negative. And I'm where I'm like, see, I knew it kind of thing. You have that like, like, I told you so a moment where like I was like, I knew why I was doing the things that I was doing.

But I feel like I only self-sabotage when I know the person's not right for me. And I know that's so crazy to say. And maybe I'm jumping the gun and people might say, well, like, you're ruining it for anything good could even happen. Sure. But why is it that every time, I do it, in the end, I don't feel bad because I'm like, see, like, something will happen where I'm like, that's exactly why I pushed you away to begin with. Or that's exactly why I didn't allow things to happen. And it just all ended up making sense. And then something better comes into my life where I'm like, holy, like, this is what was meant

for me. And so it's hard for me to say that I do it in a way where it's like a bad thing. Well, then I don't think it's self-sabotage. I think it's more just. self-awareness. Yeah, I think it's almost like because like I feel like the definition of self-sabotage is like when you're trying to ruin something that is actually good for you

because you're afraid of like feeling like you don't deserve this good thing or like afraid of getting hurt. But it sounds like with this situation with Joey and like potentially past relationships, it's almost like you have the intuition there that like it's not quite right for you. And like you just that is what's guiding. your actions, but you're not, like, fully leaning into it. Like, instead of being like, I don't feel like this is going to work out between you and I, I think you have stronger relationships.

I think that I'm going to be going home at some point. It's like, you're on that fence of like, but am I, like, am I right? Is it like, is my attention right? Deep down, deep down, you, you knew that it wasn't him. Yeah. Oh, 100%. And I think I, and here's a thing, because it was so hard to like say that in the moment because of how amazing like our one-on-one which was last like the week before but I remember

being like one good moment we still got to be real with ourselves here like and so for me it's like yeah we had the best time ever and it was so great but at the same time looking at the bigger picture and just like really just coming to terms with the fact that I know it's just not me um I instead of just like saying like listen because at the end date like I can't just be like by like whatever so I was trying to be respectful of everyone involved but also just like state my case here like guys listen like it's never going to be us and I can acknowledge that and I think we both see it but we're just both trying to like you know play the game respectful way where we're both like yeah I don't know I don't know yeah you want to see the relationship as

far as it can go right and like for both of you that like you had almost kind of have seen it as far as it could go the week before hometowns. And it was just that one more week to, like, really be like, okay. Yeah. Both of you were like, it's time to go our separate ways. Yeah. And like, I didn't know if I wanted to have my family involved. I know my family are like, they're the most welcoming people ever and they're whatever.

But like, again, bringing them into the in this environment, like putting them on camera and like having them go through all this. It was hard for me. So I was like, okay, let me do this now in Jasper. Give them a chance to be like, signara. bye-bye so that like at least i can be like at least i try to do it now so he can maybe yeah like you almost like give him an out yes and because you know jen and like Kelsey t you know they gave him no issues and so i thought okay let me do it now on this group date so i can give him the chance to be like okay let me choose someone else to like potentially see something

with because maria's already giving me enough problems let me just let her go and so because I was insecure about bringing him to my family. I'm like, guys, I don't want to lie to you and say that, oh, I'm 100% he is my person. That's the only time I would ever really truly bring someone to my family. So it just didn't feel right. And so doing what I did in Jasper was, yeah, like I said, giving him a little bit of a way out. And it didn't happen that way in ways I respected because he was trying to fight for us. But also I was like, fight for me for one more week and then get my family involved it just it didn't sit right with me and um you know you could sit and like you know go look back and be like i regret it but at the same time i think it was amazing because people got to see my

family how amazing they are and see how amazing my dad is and so for that i'm grateful so for that i actually respect that i got the chance to do it even if it's out of my comfort zone after after hometowns and joey meeting your family and going through all that which is was obviously a big thing for you and it's a big thing for most people yeah was there a part of you that maybe thought maybe maybe this could work out um in my head i'll be honest i was like wow this guy is willing to fight for me to say after what i just pulled like and and despite what you guys might have saw like there was more to the fight that he kept me there and made me feel confident enough to stay i was like wow he's all in and actually at hometowns is where I fully engaged and was like I was fully engaged

and I was like I'm going to give him my all and it was unfortunate that that's when he completely backed out because in that moment is where I was like wow like he like must really like me it was almost like to a point where I was like am I not seeing something that I like I'm like there's something must be missing in my head because for me I was like oh this is just not happening but I felt like I was being fought for in a way where I was like, okay, I'm secure in this. And then he won over my family and then he won over my friend.

He spoke to Brittany and like it wasn't shown, but their conversation was enough for me because my dad might sugarcoat things, but my best friend is not. And she was like Maria, like he's all in. Like don't be stupid. And so I was having all these outside voices telling me, don't be an idiot.

This guy likes you so much. like what are you doing so i was like okay and then it got to the point where i was outside and obviously everyone was rooting for me to say you know i'm falling in love with you and for some weird reason despite how well the night went and it did and everyone loved him and he was great and he is great you know but i just couldn't do it i just couldn't do it there was like he was sitting there and i felt so bad but i just couldn't do it and it's not like women's intuition is like so strong and I really believe that. I feel like your intuition was like telling you something. Right. And it's like it's, you know, it's easy for me now to look back and be like,

yeah, that was it. That's exactly what it is. But in the moment, there was like this fight inside of me that was so like annoying because I was like, I know I feel this way for this guy, but why can I not just put it into words? And it was like, it was unfortunate, but I was like, no, but I don't regret that because that was my self-protection. But then I go and screw it up with a freaking rose ceremony like an idiot. Okay, so let you let's let's talk about the rose. So, okay, so the rose ceremony before Joey's about to hand out the roses, you pull him to the side and you. You basically say fuck my intuition because here's the thing, though, I do believe, obviously you were right.

And I do believe you should follow your intuition. But when you're in a situation like the bachelor where it's like, but he, you have to kind of put it to, to the side a little bit because you have to look at the circumstances of he is dating multiple people so that maybe in your head you're like well maybe this is why my intuition's telling me this it's so hard it like really is it's such a unique environment that it is hard to trust your guy because it's like well i've never been here before i've never done anything like this before like what is my gut really trying to tell me yeah we didn't think it was like we thought it was great that you told him because at the end of the day you leave would know what it's

And I think it's hard for people when they hold back on their emotions, they leave. And the first thing they do is, well, what if I did this? Well, what if I had said this? And, like, if you do feel that way, like, telling him is not going to make you feel more or less. It's just going to, like, give him that information. Well, like, to just give you a little bit of backstory on this one, it's like him and I were talking about regrets. And, like, we had this whole ass conversation about regrets.

And he was just, like, expressing how important it is to him. him to like speak his mind and like even if it makes him feel like like it's wrong in the moment or like whatever it we made a joke we compared to john mares like it's better to say too much than never to say what you need to say and so in that moment was me kind of showing up to be like look like i'm willing to put it all out there because i don't want to leave with regrets even though in the back of my head i was like oh my car is waiting for me outside but i still set you know what i'm going to show that like i can you know like we can have a conversation about what we both want out of this which is like being able to open up and like leave everything out

in the line even if it's not us in the end i wanted to like to see that i was capable of like doing that even knowing that it wasn't us i think it was just a moment where i wanted him to appreciate that like despite it not being us i'm still willing to let you know exactly how i feel because i did feel that in the moment that I was I know all I said was I'm falling in love with you like so like I sat there and was like I'm in love with you like you know I'm so stupid I couldn't even really say I wish you did that I know right it would have been more of like a like a oh if I was like I'm in love with you but I was like I'm falling in love it he's like yeah bitch I have three other girls that are already in love with me and ready to get down on knee like I don't care about you Maria but it was just nice that I still

got to say something to his face that like I was feeling and so I wanted him to know that I was able to do that like I know a lot of the time on the show it was like that idea that I couldn't get there or I couldn't be honest about it or I couldn't open up about it so that was me kind of proving to myself but also to him that I was able to do that and then I really kind of knew that it was my time to go and I think um yeah yeah and that's good 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 envisioned 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 a package that you didn't 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 IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hi, my name is Enya Umanzor. 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 Intercom is the podcast for you. Open your free IHeartRadio app. Search Emergency Intercom and listen now. What did your family think of like all of it?

Like you going on the show, how it unfold and meeting Joey and then like the whole like fan base behind you, like, what was their emotions towards it? Well, funny enough, like, as soon as I got home, like, I, you know, sat my family down, got my friends to come over. Like, I had a serious talk with them because, again, I was, I was considered a bully in the house. I was the verbally abusive one. So now, how do I know how that's going to play it on screen when it actually comes out? So to me, I was like, I need to warn my family and friends right now what I went through in that house and how it could be perceived to everyone else. So if I was so wrongly, like, accused of things, but also, like, misunderstood, I don't

know how the audience is going to see me and, like, think they might be on their side. So I had to let them know the worst case scenario in all of this. So I remember being like, guys, like, I don't know how things are going to go. I'm just happy to be home, but I want you to know that this might be the case. And then when things started playing out and in my favor, and not only that, but like people just seeing me for me and appreciating me and and loving me for who I am to be able to stick up for myself but then seeing also that I I was misunderstood that I was wrongly accused you know like even if I didn't have any backup and like going through it it's like

the audience was there for me and that was like the biggest like I can't even explain I was so in all of it because I didn't expect it um I just kind of want to get through it I was like I can't wait for it to air. I'm ready to just like put this in the past. But then when like watching it and going through it and remembering, because I remember being in the house being like, how are they not seeing that this is so wrong? How are they not seeing that like I'm innocent in all of this? Like, why is this happening? And so having the audience see that and back me up was like, I felt like I was like in a different dimension. I was like, wow, this is like, this is what was supposed to happen in the house. But like I have people now to back me up who like love me and

appreciate me for me and like it just felt so good it honestly felt so good and I felt I like I can't even speak about it. It makes me like emotional because I'm like wow I finally have people that like like just appreciated me for being me and like saw my side. I felt seen. I felt heard like it was it was beautiful. I can't even imagine like going through that experience feeling like you're like having to be on the defense for so long and just feeling like you're not being embraced by the house and then coming off. and like having that anxiety and like you honestly you did the smart thing like sitting your family and friends down to like prep them for what could be and then have it be like the other way and have the audience just embrace you so much like and just feel like you were seen by the audience in a way that you weren't seen in the house for like who you are like it really is an amazing story there's so many people I feel like that kind of the opposite happens they come off the show and they're like I'm the star or this is going to Oh, but that's exactly what it was.

That's like, that's exactly what it was. I'm, listen, we're great now, but in the moment I know that they were like, we're going to bat for our friend and we're going to look like the freaking rider dies and she's going to look like or whatever. And like, when you're in it, you're like, wait, but am I the wrong? Like, am I in the wrong? Like, I was mind blown. Yeah.

And so for it to just play it exactly how it went and people seeing my side and like being like, are you crazy? Maria's long in the wrong year. I felt I just. What do you think like the. root of the controversy between you and the women really was. It just seemed like it was constantly changing and evolving. Like, what do you think was the biggest issue that forced this like wedge between you and them? Um, you know, I, I really don't understand it because up into that point

when I figured out, like when it was kind of going around the house that I was shit talking Medina, like, I kid you not, I was not like in any kind of like, Like, I was so good with all the girls. Like, I was so good with all of them. So when that kind of came out, I was like, whoa, well, like, I was, I remember, I remember they were all like, who do you think it could be? Like, who do you think? And I remember saying, I'm not even going to say a name because I'm so good with everyone

that if I say a name and it's not that person, I'm going to feel like shit. So I remember being like so shocked. Like, like, who the hell is coming for me? Like, I have been, listen, I'm very outspoken. I'm not afraid to stand up for myself. I'm whatever. But when it comes to how I supported those women in the house, especially when they were emotional and not getting time,

night one, I was like the mama bear in that house. I was going up to like any girls that were sad, they would come talk to me. I was like lifting their spirits. Like that's who I am. Like I want, if I'm winning and you're winning,

we're all winning. Like I like that better than like kind of picking. Like I just don't, I don't know. I was shocked. I was shocked because not only that, but also I knew that I was never talking shit. So for me to acknowledge the house the way that I did, I knew I had nothing to

hide. So when I walked into the room with all the girls sitting there, I was like, this is the perfect opportunity to let it out there. Or so I put it out there and say, hey, guys, like, I know I wasn't saying anything, but who felt that I might have, you know, belittled like Medina in any way? Like, who might have misunderstood something that I might have said? And that's when Sidney was like, I did. And I was like, but what did I even say? Like, I was confused. Like, I was, when I guys, when I tell you, like, I was so confused.

And I'm the type of girl that if I said something wrong or something that I might have said could have been taken out of context, I would own it. I just wanted to know what I said. And when she was like, well, you told her she's not old. And I'm like, am I here? Like, are we all like, are we in the same house right now? Are we all hearing what she just said? Or like I said, I'm old too. or something like that.

Can I preface this by saying, if Medina had come up to me and said, Maria, I'm feeling insecure about my age. Can we talk? I wouldn't sit there and be like, own it. You're hot. Like, what are you thinking?

Like, get over it. I would be like, well, tell me how you feel. Like, if that's how you feel like, I'm here for you. But it was me just talking to, I don't know who was Lauren Allison. I get,

apparently we're all getting confused with all the black-haired girls. But I was just like saying her. I'm like, this is what happened earlier. Medina said this. And I don't even think that she should, feel this way because, but I was talking to one girl. Yes, I was talking to her aside from everyone else, but I didn't think that wasn't going to be, that was going to be hurt. I was just saying,

she should only, she saw it, you know, like, it's great. But if Medina had come to me and was like opening up about that stuff, I would be there for her. I wouldn't, I would put my feelings towards how I feel about the situation aside and actually just be there for her as a friend. And I think that's where I was like, kind of like, her. Because I was like, I'm not shit talking this woman. I'm really not. And so, Yeah, I remember when it happened, I remember thinking, like, if I was in that situation, I would have been like, if Brian, I don't know who Brian is, but if I'm in the house with a Brian and he's like, I feel old and we were the same age, and I heard that, I'd be like, fucks he feel old for we're the same age. Right. Well, look at the alternative. Look at the alternative.

Imagine I was like, yeah, Medina, I feel that. Like, yeah, you should feel that. You are old, girl. It's like, you can't win. You tell them they're not old. you. They tell them, you tell them you are old, then they hate you. I was like, you know what, but what I did learn watching back is I need to keep my mouth shut and it's not even get involved and be like, I put my hands up, continue your narrative. I don't care at this point. It was so,

it was just such an, it was like, I just felt so dumb entertaining it. That's what I felt like in the house. And if I didn't entertain it, then I didn't care enough to like fix it. So I was like, I was torn. I was like, I don't know what you guys want for my life. But I tried my best. The audience, the audience saw through it all and they loved you. And I think this is the first, honestly, since we've been covering the show, which feels like forever. Yeah. In a good way. But I will say this is the first time in a long time where there's been such a push for someone to become the lead.

Yeah. I can't even think about it. Maybe like Becca Koo, friend, after like her and Ari's breakup. but usually there's some sort of like crazy this is the like breakup that fuels it at the end I feel like you're a very unique situation so I have to ask did they ask you to be the bachelor at um this is what I'll say

because obviously I've been asked left right and center like there's obviously conversations about that but I just like I'm really here to like support Jen and to like you know bring attention to that I don't think it really matters anymore. And so, yeah, like, I'm just really excited for Jen. And I want to keep the focus on that, to be honest. But there are rumors out there that you were asked and that mental health came into play for you potentially not doing it.

Do you want to, like, address any of the rumors about it? There were a couple things that were said that were so untrue that I'm like, I don't even care to entertain it. It's just, it's not, I don't know. I mean, like I said, I just want to keep the focus on Jen and like, I don't think it really matters. Even if that was the case and it wasn't the case, like I don't think it really matters because it's not me, right?

So I don't know. I don't know. I really just want to keep the focus on Jen. And I don't think it really matters about me at this point. but I was really appreciative that like people saw me in that position and it um and that was really nice because I've never I always wanted to be a contestant on the show I never once even thought or entertain the idea of being bachelorette so um it was nice to hear but yeah as for those rumors like again there's people talk all the time and that's what I've realized in

this world and that's why like as soon as I came back like I wanted so badly to detach a little bit and just come back to reality and be with my family and my friends and not do any podcast and stuff like that because I was like, I know how people can twist things and turn things and there's so many people that like blow things at a proportion or they'll like here. I don't know. They just make things up in weird ways, click bait and all that stuff. And so when I heard that stuff, I was like, I'm not even going to entertain it. It's not even like a thought in my mind.

It's unfortunate that there's things like that coming around. And so for that, I'm going to say untrue. And let's just support Jen in this moment. And we'll see what the future has. And I'm excited for her, honestly. 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? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK story.
