This is an I-Heart podcast. I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the psychology podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denials easier.

Complex problem solving takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the. iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the latest episode of Next Question with me, Katie Couric, I sat down with Jasmine Crockett, Democratic Representative of Texas. She's holding out the fork for her party in one of the most conservative states in the Union. I think that ultimately, who will become the Democratic nominee for president will be someone

that has been out there and has shown that they won't allow themselves to be punched and just say thank you. Like, they will punch back. Listen to next question with me, Katie Couric on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If a baby is giggling in the back seat, they're probably happy.

If a baby is crying in the backseat, they're probably hungry. But if a baby is sleeping in the back seat, will you remember they're even there? When you're distracted, stressed, or not usually the one who drives them, the chances of forgetting them in the back seat are

much higher. It can happen to anyone. Parked cars get hot fast and can be deadly. So get in the habit of checking the back seat when you leave. The message from NHTSA and the ad council. Hello everyone. Welcome back to another episode of Bachelor Happy Hour. This is a very exciting episode because we have the announcement, the exclusive Golden Bachelor cast. I should say it should have reversed that and said whatever. You guys get the point. Golden Bachelor. Bachelor is here. We have their bios. We have their headshots. We're going to talk about all them. And we're going to let you know more about the cast. We're very excited for this season. Everyone we've talked to is very excited for it. We think it's going to be great.

Gary just seems like such a wonderful guy. And can't wait to actually watch it. It is premiering Thursday, September 28th at 8.7 Central on ABC. And then you can stream it the next day on Hulu. And it is right before the season premiere of Bachelor in Paradise. be a big night this fall. Yeah. Yeah, we're going to be staying at no plans on Thursday. Unless you want to stream it the next day on Hulu. Yeah, then you could. You go out on Thursday stream on Friday. Wow. That wasn't even, uh, that worked perfectly for Hulu. Okay. So far, what are you most excited for for Golden Bachelor? Hmm. I just think like they're going to have such a diverse range of stories and backgrounds. I think, you know, we've seen years of 20 to

30-year-olds falling in love and these people have just experienced so much more life. So we're just going to hear so many like new storylines that we've never heard of before and like new backstories to these women. Yeah. I'm assuming that all of them are probably wise and emotionally intelligent and I love to see when. And I hope some of them aren't. And I want to see when they argue with each other how that actually sounds. Because you know it's going to be very like.

it's going to be different it's going to be like the same it's going to be very passive aggressive but in a very strategic way you think yeah you don't think they're just going to like outright yell at each other i think you're going to get some of that but then i think you're going to get like the the real like the real veterans that are just like i'm going to i'm going to i'm going to get her cut you deep yeah and she's not even going to know it's happening when it's happening wow you have high expectations for these women's ability to insult one another yeah yeah i do We're very excited for two different things on this show. I just feel like, yeah, like when I, if I was going back on the show in my 70s, like, yeah, I'd be, I'd be going after people.

Yeah, well, hopefully they're also going after Gary because this is a show about finding love. Yeah, no. And I think I do, I hope, I think, I think it's going to happen. I think it is going to happen too. I also think so. How do you feel about Gary so far? I mean, what's not to love? I feel like at this point, I have nothing new to say about Gary because I haven't.

learned anything new about Gary really from well at this point we know he is a lovable handsome a little cheesy yeah guy which is fine but we definitely there's athletic he's an activity man there's there has to be a a more risque side to Gary that we haven't seen yet and that's what I'm excited to see I think right now a lot of the promos which have been so good and so freaking high quality like that one clip of him and his family in that house I was like the is stunning. This looks like it's out of architectural digest. Yeah, you did say that. But I do think they're playing him off as this like, sweet, cute, lovable seven-year-old man who doesn't know how to text or use social media. But like,

come on, Gary. Like, Gary's going to be a makeout star. I'm calling it now. I'm saying like Gary, I think he kisses three plus women on night one. I think Gary needs to lose the nice guy act. And I think eventually, eventually that curtain's going to be pulled. So how many women do you think he kisses on night one? I'm going three. Wow, I was going to say three. Really? All right. That's our guest. Three women. But yeah, and I think they're marketing it very well. I mean, we're seeing it all the time.

I just saw the, did you see the clip art for him in the actual gold suit? Yes, which I love with the gold background. Yeah, I love all the images for it. How do you feel about me in a gold suit? Depends on the event, but I think, I think no. Yeah. I never, I never, I've pictured myself in many situations in a, gold suit's not one of them yeah but gary it works because he's blonde and he's got like you know gold undertones he's the golden bat he's the first i wonder if that was something they considered when they picked him like hmm this guy's gonna look really good in gold i think yeah yeah yeah

yeah for sure for sure he looks great in gold he looks gold yeah he's he's a golden man yeah um okay should we um we have the the bios you want to pull them up yep i'm gonna pull up the face sheet so I could get a good look at what I'm looking. Also, like, you know, we don't know everything, and these are just short little bios, so we're going to have fun with it, you know, some of it. Yes, just to preface, like, obviously these are just the bios. We're not, like, we're just, it's just for fun.

We're having fun here. We're just having fun with it. We only have these bios to go off of. So maybe we'll say something about one of these women that's not true, and then we'll learn that we were wrong about them when the show comes to light. Okay. Okay. First one I'm seeing is Anna. Anna. Is that your first stuff? Okay.

That's what I got too. Let's go. All right. Anna. Burnett, 61 from Summit, New Jersey, retired nutritionist, which I always have thought to be a very cool and fun career. Anna is a woman of the world. She's traveled to over 20 countries. Three daughters loves hiking and skiing. She's adventurous, confident, emotionally intelligent. Oh, she's looking. for an adventurous, kind, confident, sensitive, emotionally intelligent man. She loves family. She loves foraging for mushrooms and plants. Where does she live? She lives in NJ's New Jersey, right? Yeah.

My Canadian is showing, guys. I shouldn't be responsible for dissecting me. Where does she go in New Jersey foraging for mushrooms? And learning about new herds and plants. Maybe she has like a garden. Yeah. Where she lives near a woodsy area. Yeah.

Did you say she's 61? She's 61. So I think that that's probably like one of the youngest women. Yes, I would think so, if not the youngest. And then her fun facts are she spends her Sundays at the local farmer's market, which adds up. She loves to cook. She likes to forage.

When Anna dives with sharks, she goes cagedless. Does that feel like an innuendo or is it just me reading into that? Yeah, I think you're right. Otherwise, that's crazy. Anna loves anything dark chocolate especially lava cake a lot of food stuff I feel like if you were the golden bachelor this woman would stand out too from her bio she loves to travel she loves food yeah no I like her really I like her a lot she's beautiful yeah I think um just by the looks and the sound of it I think she could be there

for a while all right on to the next Anna great start I like her I actually think that she and Gary could definitely have a connection April April's giving like housewives. April's giving very, like her photo is, she's, I would look at it and be like, this is a housewife. Well, honestly, all of them are kind of given housewives. No, but she looks like he looks like he looks like hell of rich in this photo. Yeah.

Like she's dripping gold jewelry. She's got the chunky necklace. Like, she literally looks like like she'd be out for dinner with Lisa Vanderpump. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Yeah. I love it.

And if this was like a Pixar Disney movie, she's, she's the other golden, the golden person. What? What do you mean? Well, you're like, Gary looks golden. Like she also looks. Oh, yes, yes. I know what you mean. Like, she looks like.

I just pictured it animated for some reason. And they would both be straight gold. Yeah. Maybe that's because you got me watching Frozen for the first time. I know. But you didn't pay attention enough to really enjoy it and capture the magic. It was rough for me. It was rough.

All right. April. Age 65. Okay. She is from Port St. Lucia. Port St. Lucy.

Fort St. Lucia. I shouldn't have been in charge of reading these. I don't know any American geography. Lucy Florida we could be pronouncing that wrong but oh well therapist is her occupation okay so emotionally intelligent I would assume and skimming through her bio she's ready to ride off into the sunset she's a great cat she's got a zest for life

she's very close with her family she talks to them every single day and make sure to says I love you every time they chat dating since losing her partner has been very difficult so she's looking forward to this experience. When she's not spending time with her kids or grandkids, she loves dancing to Taylor Swift, watching Bridgerton and playing with her two dogs. Oh, a woman after my own heart.

And she is not afraid of a thrill-seeking and loves a good roller coaster. Okay. Fun facts. April has a discreetly hidden tattoo of her nickname, Prash. April dreams of writing a best-selling book. And finding pennies out and about brings April so much joy. I like her. I think she's going to, I think April, April's one of my, just, just off of bio and photo, she's one of my tops already.

She sounds fun. Like, her bio is giving like, I'm fun, I'm exciting. I'm upbeat. I could also be your therapist. And I could also be your therapist. And I go sit down and have a serious chat with you. Okay. Love it. All right. On to the next. I'm going to probably have to read a little less of these two. I know. It's just so hard because there's so much good stuff in these bios. I want to read it all, but I'll try to, I'll try to whiz through. Okay. Next is Christina. Okay. She is 73.

How old is Gary? 71. Okay. Gary 71. Christina is 73. So Christina could teach Gary a few things. Yeah. She got a few years on him.

And she is from. She is from Sarah Madre, California. Okay. So she's, I don't know. We don't know if they're from there. That's where they live now. That's their hometown. Yeah, that's her hometown.

And she is a retired purchasing. manager. Okay. So I don't know exactly what this means. Does that mean she worked in fashion? She's like a buyer? She could, yeah. She could be a buyer for anything, really, anything that has to do with purchasing.

Yeah, I need a little more detail about that. But she's retired, so it doesn't matter. That's true. That's true. Actually, wait a second. She, so April's bio said therapist. So I wonder if she's still actively working then. Could be.

Because Anna says she. She's a retired nutritionist, and Christina said she's a retired purchasing manager. So we got a few non-retirees out here. Yeah. Okay. So, Christina is the happiest she has ever been and hoping to find someone. She calls this chapter in life her go-go years and not her slow-go years. She is extremely proud of her career.

And while she is retired, she's working her way up. Working her way up, the corporate ladder without a college degree is one of her biggest accomplishments. She loves playing pickleball, listening to Paul McCarthy in horseback riding, and she has plans to go skydiving for a second time with her oldest grandson. Prasina's first concert ever was The Beatles in 1964. She loves a good dude ranch. What is that? I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology Podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about exploring human potential.

I was going to schools to try to teach. teach kids these skills and I get eye rolling from teachers or I get students who would be like, it's easier to punch someone in the face. When you think about emotion regulation, like you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome as a result of it if it's going to be beneficial to you. Because it's easy to say like go you, go blank yourself, right? It's easy.

It's easy to just drink the extra beer. It's easy to ignore to suppress seeing a colleague who's bothering you and just like walk the other way avoidance is easier ignoring is easier denial is easier drinking is easier yelling screaming is easy complex problem solving meditating you know takes effort listen to the psychology podcast on the iHeart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts so in the last month the might as touch network beat rogan tucker carlson candace owens charlie kirk and ben shapiro all combined conservative can have a major political impact. But the Micellis brothers, three siblings with a serious media strategy,

are building an alternative to that. On the latest episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, I sat down with the brothers behind the Midas Touch Network to talk about how they built a progressive media powerhouse from the ground up, why audience interaction is the key to political influence and what it takes to fight disinformation at scale, one download at a time. should be focusing on the issues that actually occupy a lot of the mental space in Americans' minds

but are filled with conspiracies, and we should fill it with the truth and solutions. Listen to next question with me, Katie Couric on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And here's Heather with the weather. Well, it's beautiful out there, sunny and 75, almost a little chilly in the shade. Now, let's get a read on the inside of your car. It is hot. You've only been parked a short time, and it's already 99 degrees in there. Let's not leave children in the back seat while running errands.

It only takes a few minutes for their body temperatures to rise, and that could be fatal. Cars get hot, fast, and can be deadly. Never leave a child in a car. A message from Nitsa and the ad council. All right, on to the next, but honestly, I was told that we should be skimming through these bios, and I'm just way to invest it and I'm reading every single line because it's way too hard to narrow down

the best parts of these women. I knew you were going to do that. I am not a concise person in this moment. So I'm going to hand it over to Joe. He will take over skimming through these bios. If you want to read the whole thing, you can go online and do so. But here you go, Joe.

All right. I'm just going to look at the photos. That's more my speed. I'm good at rattling things off. Let's go. Okay, who is next? Up next, we have Edith. Just from Edith, her photo, I'm like,

Conservative podcasts can have a major political impact, but the Myceles Brothers, three siblings, with a serious media strategy, are building an alternative to that. On the latest episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, I sat down with the brothers behind the Midas Touch Network to talk about how they built a progressive media powerhouse from the ground up, why audience interaction is the key to political influence and what it takes to fight disinformation at scale, one download at a time. We should be focusing on the issues that actually occupy a lot of the mental space in Americans' minds but are filled with conspiracies, and we should fill it with the truth and solutions.

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

I don't know, but I could see myself needing one. Someone to coach someone through

their aging. Yeah, through midlife crises. I feel like she's like actually neat. They should hire her for this show. Maybe that's why she did it. Maybe she's not even looking. No, she's passionate and an energetic woman who is ready to find Mr. Wright. She loves going to her local farmers market and taking walks around Central Park. Well, one day we may run into her because we also like walking around Central Park. She also wants Bell Bottoms to make a comeback. They did. They did last year.

Oh my gosh. Like anytime I hear Judge Judy, I always think of her. She loved it. She would sit and do her puzzles and watch Judge Judy.

Yeah. Okay. Next up is Patty. She is 70, Liz in Durham, North Carolina. She's retired real estate sales. And she is also

former bachelor Matt James's mom. And that was the season you were on. So she's the first one to have so far that we know of that has a connection to the show is, is that an advantage? I think it could be an advantage or a detriment. Because I think I'm sure Matt gave her some advice. Rachel, too, probably, from, you know, what it's like to be a contestant, what you can expect. But I also think going into these experiences a little naive can sometimes be a blessing. Like, you know, you learn as you go. So, yeah, we'll see. But I think it'll be, I don't, I don't know her. You don't know her as much as she has a tie to the franchise and our former bachelor mat. But she seems lovely. She's an attractive woman. And I don't know. I think,

I think she could go places. I would love to see her find a connection with Gary. I think that would be so fun. Okay. Next up, Peggy. She's 69. She lives in East Haven, Connecticut.

I do not enjoy pistachio cake because it would kill me because I am allergic, but I'm sure it's delicious. And then we have our last, but not least. Teresa, 69, Shrewsbury, Jersey. We have a lot of New Jersey. A lot of New Jersey.

Financial services. She is a gorgeous catch with a huge heart, very close to her children and her grandchildren, and nothing she loves more than seeing them all thrive. She loves to sing alone in a car. And Teresa loves 70s rock, both soft and hard. Oh, wow. Teresa. All right.

You crazy girl. And that wraps them all. So what do you think, Serena? How are we feeling? I actually really liked these bios. Me too. And the fun facts. I feel like I actually got a vibe for who these people are.

And I also think the photos because they have like, I don't know, they're all in black, but like they're all kind of different photos. Like I feel like their personalities really shine through versus like the standard head shots. I think so too I think so I'm excited to watch all of these women do you want to give a prediction

yeah let's do what we did for charity season and after night one we'll each pick four people so you want to wait till night one I think we wait till night one what do you think you want to make a prediction right now no I think we wait till night one I think right now for this podcast

let's just pick one that's going to be in our top four is that fair kind of just based off of a little of what we know so So one of the people that you pick has to be in your top four. Okay. Is that fair? I think that's fair.

I think that's fair. And they have to be different from each other? I mean, if we pick the same one, we pick the same one, you could pick first. Okay. Wait, give me a second. I really want to think about this because I am going to go with, I'm going to go with Anna. I should go with Joan but I'm not gonna I'm gonna go with Nancy you're gonna go with Nancy yeah Nancy's who I'm going with

okay there's definitely like there was definitely five or six women that I was torn between though yeah there's definitely a handful or two that I was like um based on the bio and the look and what we know about Gary like I could see this I think there's gonna be I think honestly after like seeing everything I'm like this guy's probably gonna have multiple connections his whole he's probably going to fall in love more than one woman in um it's going to be interesting i think that the one thing i really actually want to know now um is location who's going to be willing to make the move that is definitely going to be something

or is gary willing to make the move yeah which he might be i feel like he could be yeah because he said like he he bought that house with his late wife yeah and i don't believe that's where they're from necessarily in terms of where his like kids and grandkids are. So he might be flexible. I can see him live in. He's a golden boy. He can live in California for sure. I could definitely see Gary in California.

I could also see him in New Jersey. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of pickleball out here now. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Well, okay. That's wrap.

Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier.

Denials easier. Complex problem solving takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the latest episode of Next Question with me, Katie Couric, I sat down with Jasmine Crockett, Democratic Representative of Texas. She's holding out the fork for her party in one of the most conservative states in the Union. I think that ultimately, who will become the Democratic nominee for president will be someone that has been out there and has shown that they won't allow themselves to be punched and just say thank you.

Like, they will punch back. Listen to next question with me, Katie Currick on the eye heart. radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
