Okay, Susan, first things first, we have got to talk about Monday's episode of Paradise. Oh, boy, don't judge me, fans. Don't judge me for the things I'm about to say.

Oh, what's coming? Hey, wait, can I get in on that too? Don't judge me either, but go ahead. You start. Where should we start? Can we start with our girlfriend, Faith? Yes, let's do that. When she said in that contest, sexy hooker, the question was, I can't believe you're bringing that up.

The question was, what characters would you like to play in the bedroom? Role play, role play. And I was like, oh, no, not going down that road. I wouldn't even write nurse and doctor. I wrote Mickey and Minnie Mouse. I know, Kath. I know. I saw.

And Faith wrote, what did she write again? sexy hooker. Oh, God. Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall in her bedroom? I would like to try to act like a sexy hooker. I don't think I could do it. Okay. I don't know.

That, I found that, the thing I have to say about Faith and Kim in this episode, two things I want to say. One is all that seemed to go on there was kissing. I'm like, where's the conversation? Do you know what I noticed, Kathy? Like she didn't seem like she talked. to any of you. It's our faith. We did a whole entire show with her. She's our friend, yet she seemed only focused on him. And I'm only praying that when this show is over, that they're together.

Because if they're not, I'm going to call you, you wanted to stay on the show. You hooked on to somebody. Is that what it's about? I mean, some people do that. Well, again. Faith, call me, faith. I want to know if you're still with them. I will say, that I was really glad that they said, because I did say that, that Keith and I are good friends, and I think that's really important. And the young ones knew that because one of them was voting, one of you's off because they said they're just friends. Right.

But you weren't a threat to them to win that money. So were you surprised? Huh? Were you surprised that Kim and Faith were voted off? No. No, because a few of them called them on it. Not said it to them, but they were thinking, you know, this is a lot. Yeah.

No, I wasn't surprised. So, you know, bye, by, faith, and Kim. One more thing I have to say, I've been getting, shocker, some hate mail on social media. For what? That I'm jealous of Kim and Faith, their relationship. Why, because you said, get a room? How about the massage? Oh, God, would he ever said bring in some oil?

I thought I was going to lose my lunch. But let me just say, I am not jealous. There is one little shred of jealousy. So just to put that one to rest. Faith and Kim, you... That's not it. Yeah, not it for me.

Not even a little bit for me. And when I said over and out, when I saluted him, trust me. You meant it. But to me, the show was great. But the whole show for me is all I could think of. was Brian. And when Wells came out and made that statement, I saluted Wells. Like, you are absolutely correct. Okay, but so I'm watching this and I'm like, all I could think of was that song from the 60s, lies, lies, like if your mouth is moving, your line. I mean, here's the

thing. The lies, I'm watching, well, wait, am I missing something here? Because we're watching it back. We know what they said, right? So Jeremy said he never, he swore, he swore, he swore to Bailey that he didn't call never said he would propose to Zuzi and leave the show. Nope, yeah, he did. Check first lie. Bailey swore it wasn't Brian who told her to

Because she didn't want to bury Brian. I don't care. It's another lie. Brian lied about not telling Bailey. I'm like, what is going on? And so when Wells came on, who I absolutely adore anyway, love you Wells. I was like, finally, somebody

who's making some sense here. Yes. When they're talking about bro code? What? Bro code. So that's what it's about. But if we're going to say bro code, how about the girls did know? And they told her they didn't. So I, okay, here's the thing.

I think, I mean, based on what we saw, the girls knew that he had called Susie. I don't know. But as I'm watching it, I'm. thinking, did, you know, Alex, who I adore, so sweet, comforting Bailey, I don't think, and I don't know, but this just from watching the show, I'm not sure that all the girls knew that Jeremy had said he would propose to leave the show with her. I don't think they knew that because I think if they'd known that, I think they would have stepped up. I mean, you and I, of course, were older, we would have gone right to the person

said, hey girlfriend, you need to know this. You need to know this. To look like a fool. That's right. However, he came clean and agreed that he did to and he shouldn't have and tried to make amends and they're together again. I think he felt pressure. You're saying Brian? Yes. No, no, no, no. I think Brian felt. No, Jeremy. Oh. I felt bad for Brian. I think Brian, hats off to you. I know the guys are going to be pissed off

at you, no brocode or whatever it is, but you actually care about Bailey, and you didn't want her to be taken for a fool. I agree. How about Marissa, while he was saying, I'm going to go tell, she was looking, she looked like a deer in headlights.

Well, I mean, come on. I don't think Paris is a confrontational person. I don't think she wanted to get in the middle of it, and by association with Ryan, it was probably going to happen. But here's the one thing that I picked up, and I was curious if you did. When Bailey goes in and wakes Jeremy up, and by the way, Jeremy looked irritated as all get out that he was being walking up. Get up, Jeremy, and talk to the girl that you professed, care so much about.

I was thinking that. And I was holding on to where that was crying. But did you notice that Bailey didn't wait for answers. She wakes him up. She's saying, did you do this? Did you do that? I can't believe. I thought, and she calls it scream crying.

She says, I was scream crying. She doesn't wait for his answers. It's almost like she just wanted to vomit it out and not really hear his answers. And I was surprised by that. Why would you give him an opportunity to lie? Nobody, when you're found guilty, okay, and somebody's calling you on it and you know you're guilty. He was probably relieved that she did the scream cry. But she did, but I'm saying she didn't give him a chance to say, yeah, I said it. And when she finally did, he lied and said

he didn't do those things. And he said he was just trying to, if I heard the TV correctly, I'm sorry, Jeremy, I'm really kind of like losing it here. When you say, I was just trying to play Paradise, like what? You're playing with people's emotions. Exactly. And I'm I will give him, you know what, it was early when she was there. Tell the truth, you know, I didn't know yet. I do like her, but I didn't know how I was going to feel about you. Now that we've come this far, that's all he had to do, if that is the truth. Because I'm second guessing everything now.

That's right. And, you know, if you lie, then it's very difficult to believe anything else that comes out of your mouth. Once you've lied to me, then I'm not believing much of what comes out of, you know, coming out of your mouth. Can't wait to see what, but they ended up happy kissing again at the end. Can I just give a shout out to Keith? Can I just give a shout? He told me I looked beautiful in my red dress and that made me feel so good. That was, I thank you, Keith. And he really made me feel like a million bucks. The other thing was, I loved how Keith said, there's no right choice here who to send home. Yeah, that's true. a mature vision of no good answer.

Because there was a possibility that you two could have left. There was that possibility. Absolutely. And he handled it well, yeah. Were you surprised, Kathy? I was a little surprised, although I'd heard some mumblings about, you know, people talking about Kim's health with his heart monitor. Yes.

Which, you know. And everybody assumed they were going to kick Brian off because. Yeah, because they were mad with him. I was a little surprised. I was grateful. I was so happy to be there because Keith and I really have formed a close friendship with each other and the other cast members really care and still do care about all those young ones. I mean, so.

Oh, I know. I love them. So I don't know. I think it's hard. I was really taken back about how everybody reacted to all of it. And how everyone reacted to what Brian did. you were surprised you saying at the women at the young women first of all what does that say about somebody when you're all angry and the guys too they're angry because brian told the girl the

truth how can you be angry at that it's the truth i think when you're younger sometimes you you know you want to stay in your lane and you figure they'll work it out i think I think Jeremy had said he was going to tell her and he shouldn't tell her. He said he should have. Well, but he only said he should have after he got caught with his pants down, no pun intended. Yes. I mean, that's when he told the truth. When you're forced into a corner, hey, did you call her?

Yes. But he still lied. He still said, I didn't say I was going to leave the show up. Once you lie to somebody, like if you lied to me, I don't know that I'll trust 100% ever again. Well, that's what I just said to you two seconds ago, that once you lie to me, I'm not sure I can believe anything that comes out of your mouth.

So I think there was a lot of, if we're wrapping this one up, it's a lot of lies wrapped up in a paradise bow. And thank you, Wells, for shedding the truth. Oh, I was so happy when he came out and said that. I was screaming at the TV. You're there right. Yeah, it was rough.

But you know what? I can't wait to see what. what happens next week. Keith and I are holding the torch now for the Goldens and glad to be there. And, you know, I can't wait for next Monday to see what happens next week. You and I both, you and I both.

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, 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. All right, West West, Prop here from Hood Politics with Prop Podcasts. You already know our get-down. If you grew up

in our urban areas of comfort of struggle, you understand politics much more than you giving credit for. Feds taking over American cities, government hop-out boys, hopping out the van, snatching up your Theo and them, two wars that was supposed to be solved in 24 hours. Jerry just out here mandarin all over the place The Turfs! And of course, the Epstein of it all. Well, this week we decided to shoot our shot and boy, did we pull up from the logo

to see if we could get somebody to come tap in with us. And the one and only Jamil Hill pulled up from this politics podcast to keep it a whole century. 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. Listen to the hood, ticks with prop podcasts 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, do this, pull that, turn this.

It's just... I can do my eyes closed. I'm Mani. I'm Noah. This is Devin. 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. See? Listen to No Such Thing on the I Heart Radio. Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, my name is Enya Humanzor.

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. I heart radio app, search emergency intercom, and listen now. I'm Jemail Hill, host to the Sports and Politics Podcast Politics. And on the latest episode of Politics, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joins me for a candid conversation

about the state of the Democratic Party. What do Republicans say to you privately that they won't say publicly? Many of them are in fear of their political lives, and that's been part of the challenge, but we continue to say to them, you were elected to defend your constituents, to stand

up for your constituents. And there's life after Congress. And you should be willing to actually want to be able to look back on your time in the House of Representatives knowing that you can keep your head held high because you did the right thing. Donald Trump is gone in three and a half years. But their legacy or their failure to stand up to the extremism and the unprecedented assault on America as we know it will be with them forever. Make sure to listen to politics on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. All right, it's time to get into today's episode. And as always, we're going to start things off with the question of the day. Okay, Susan, are you ready? Yes, I am. Okay. Have you ever had a friend come to you

asking for advice, and you've been totally stumped. What was it like? What is your go-to advice when you're at a loss, and there's no simple advice to be given? What says you? Oh, baby. Surprise, stumped, yes, because I felt like I couldn't tell them really how I felt.

Now, today, if I was asked this and this happened, I could. But back then, I, because, Most likely it was about a man that I disagreed and I thought he was a piece of, you know what, and she shouldn't be with him, but I didn't have the heart when they're so in love. That's an uncomfortable place. So wait a minute, wait a minute. You're saying now, I think we're about to disagree, folks. Oh, boy.

Shocker. You say that if I came to you and asked you for advice, you might say something that is knowingly going to to hurt me and make me feel badly? I'm going to tell you the truth. And if that's the case, I'll lighten it the best I can, but I have to be real and honest, yes. See, I'm telling you, folks, I used to be that way. I used to be the girl that gave 100% honesty. Now I'm much more, you know, our good friend Nancy taught me a lesson.

She always says when something happens or people say things, think to yourself, how would you feel? So now when someone asks me for advice, oftentimes I think, how is my answer going to make them feel? And if I know that it's going to make them feel badly, I may not be honest because especially our age, Susan, let's face it, we're not going to change. We can change on the margin, but we're not like the young ones. On Paradise, when they asked me for advice, I was brutally real because they're young enough to change, right? But I just don't think people are age. What if it was about a clothing option, you know, that they tried something on? They felt really good about it.

Do you love this on me? Well, I don't think you would be totally stumped. If I said, you, hey, Susan, what do you think of this dress? You'd say, that's the ugliest thing since they invented toast. But I think, I think now my goal. Tell me something that would stump me. Well, I don't, stump for me is the wrong word. I think you might not know how to answer something.

If I said to you, Susan, if it was a dating question, you might not know how to answer it, but the answer that would come to your mind, it might be your truth. But for me, I might think, oh, I can't say that to Susan. Yeah, it depends. It depends on what I really think, because it might hurt her. Yeah. And I used to be the girl. that would say it.

I think my go-to advice now is more like what Nancy says. I don't know, Susan, how do you feel about it? I sort of turn a mirror back and say, how do you feel? That's like Therapy 101. So like if I said to you, okay, if you said to me, Susan, should I break up, because you have one, should I break up with my partner even though I still love them?

Or is it okay to stay with Joe because he cheated on me? Do you think I'm going to say to you, I'm not. I'm living that right now. I don't know, Susan, how do you feel about it? I'm living it right now with Frederique's daughter. That's right. Very sad. And you think you, and what was, so for those of you out there.

My advice. My advice. What's your advice? If it was the first time, okay. The second time, no. If that's not a red flag. going through a cheating episode with her boyfriend, just so we're clear with everybody. I don't know. I did say to her, but it's up to you.

You're asking my opinion, and my opinion is no way, no way. And what was her answer to you? You said to me, she said, but I love him. So I would say you have to do, my answer always is, what do you have to do? What should you do? You have to live with your decision. think about it carefully and make the best decision for you. Because now, Susan, what I've learned is it's not my life.

It's not my life to live with a cheater and say I love him. I'm just using that example. Only because you can see it a third time, it's going to happen, and you're going to be in a better place then. Are you going to waste another year of your life? And the answer is a lot of people are. But the point here is it's not our life. Yes.

They have to learn in their own time. So I, but I will say to you when I was younger, and mind you, I still have lots of advice that, and sometimes it's unwanted. But remember, what did, let's tell everybody, what was my New Year's resolution, Susan? Mind your business. Mind my own business and not give people advice. And I'm going to view myself in A-minus so far this year. And believe me, I've had lots.

Kathy, what about this one? Yeah. I'm in love with someone who is already in a relationship. What should I do? That's easy to me. Oh, not if you're in love with them. It's the same thing as cheating. If you're in love for that person, love is blind.

It's not just a TV show. It's an adage. Love is blind. But what advice would you get? If someone came to you and say, I'm in love with someone who's in love with someone else? who's already in a relationship. I would say, listen, if it were you, I'd say, Susan, I love you to pieces.

Are you crazy? I would say, are you out of your mind? Yeah. But I understand. But you know what? You, to coin your phrase, you have to do you. I wouldn't do it. That's what I would say, I wouldn't do it.

But it's not my life, sweetie. It's your life. You have to do what brings you happiness. And ultimately, people make their own decisions. So I'm much more of a live and let live girl than I used to be. And what if someone came and said, should I break up with my partner, even though I still love them? We already, we just talked about that, about your, your, your, your, Frederic's daughter. Yes, the answer is yes, but when I'm young.

No, the answer is you, the answer is not telling someone what to do. The answer is. No, someone's asking you, if they ask you what would you do, right, or your advice, if you will. That is what they're saying. asking for your advice and my advice always is now you have to do what brings you happiness and joy and a decision that you can live with it doesn't matter what i would do susan i'm not living your life and that and that took me a long time to get there so you know um yeah that's kind of where i am and i know it's hard what's really hard for me susan and you know this is sitting back and watching

someone living. It's like watching a horror movie in slow motion. Kathy comes undone. But you know what? I used to come undone and say something. Now I just come undone, go pour myself a drink and gets a bag of M&Ms and wait for it to play out. All right. Let's get into our fan questions for today. I'll start us off with the first one, okay? Okay. Sydney writes, my husband and I are trying to have a baby. This would be our first. However, I have PCOS, so I'm taking medication to help us, and it is amping up my hormones and challenging my mental health. I don't feel like I have much of a support system.

I feel like lately I can't even explain to my friends about what's going on because I noticed they're not reaching out to me. Or if I try to approach the topic, it quickly changed. I should mention none of my friends are married, nor do they have kids. Any advice for how to navigate this difficult and exciting time? Okay, so for those of you who don't know, PCOS is polycystic ovarian syndrome. It's painful, it's not fun. There's lots of side effects, hair loss, screwing with your hormones.

It's a thing. But here's what I would say to you, Sidney, it doesn't matter, in my opinion, that your friends don't have kids or aren't married. I think your situation, you need a support group. That's what I would say to you. Ask your doctor where you can find a support group for people who are going through what you're going through, an online support group.

Listen, you can find a group for everything online, and that would be a way to help you. It's not a fun situation to be in. And I love the fact that you say, it is an exciting time because you are trying to have a baby and of course you want to focus on that but you've got a tough road to navigate and you need people to support you and sometimes the people that support us aren't necessarily our closest friends or our families when we have a specific condition what do you think susy also your hormones are all over the place and the medication you're taking

is making it even worse but don't be upset with your friends maybe they don't understand it. Right. So they avoid the subject. It's nothing against you. Right. But as Kathy said, you do need someone to talk to. And sometimes it is your spouse or your other half. Maybe he's understanding a little more because he's in it. But sometimes it isn't. And sometimes, you know, my daughter, when she first moved to Austin after grad school, she went on Facebook to find friends. Facebook has groups for everything. So, Sidney, I would encourage you get online, go to Facebook, see if you can find a support group. Yes, absolutely.

And if nothing else, it's going to be a great place to meet new friends. And I'm wishing you. We're wishing you that this situation resolves and that you get pregnant because it's a great time. And I agree with Kathy about the Facebook group because my daughter, when she was having a problem with the implant, like she's like in ahead of she has so many people that she talks to she had hers taken out she was sick for three years and didn't know why so you're exactly right kathy i think i'd start there or therapy you know yeah i mean facebook uh online platforms ask your doctor and we wish you all the best in dealing with this really tough situation okay you're ready to move on here's the next

one okay um and by the way Cindy let us know we hope that you get pregnant and we we hope this situation resolves itself. Okay, Anonymous writes, Hi, Kathy and Susan. I love your podcast. I have never missed an episode. Well, wow, Anonymous, thank you so much. I, oh, I know you have covered issues with in-laws in the past, and I'm having some issues with mine. My mother-in-law is a pretty good grandmother to my children, but she isn't so nice to me. For example, she has called a shirt I wore hideous and jote that she wants to murder my family and me. Well, that's not a joke. Okay. Said my baby's name is stupid in front of all my guests at my baby shower.

The list goes on and on. My question to you ladies is, what do I do going forward? I have tried every approach I can think of. I have tried taking the high road. I have tried simply defending myself and calling her out on her BS. Nothing works. said she has had a difficult upbringing which causes her to have a lack of social skills and there is no changing her. He has tried talking to her as well. I'm at a loss. Help. I wish one of you

was my mother-in-law. Love you, gals. We do too. Trust me. Wow. Anonymous, I'll take you on tomorrow. You can be mine. Trust me, you're right. I had the mother-in-law and father-in-law from hell and very similar story to you. They loved my children, did not love me. And as Susan, haven't I told you, it was really difficult between my husband and me. My advice is try, but you know what? If she's not going to change, she's not going to change.

Let your husband spend time with her, drop the grandkids off, limit your time with her. As she said, she tried taking the high road. and she's tried defending herself and calling her out on her BS. What about like at the baby shower and she said it's stupid and you say something like, well, you're entitled to your opinion. You don't keep it to yourself. We don't care what you think.

Yeah, but you can't say that a baby shower. And I tried those things with my mother-in-law and it never worked. But I will say to you, I have to take issue with something. I wouldn't invite her husband. I'd leave her out there. Yeah, you say that, Susan. Come on. If she's going to be rude and embarrass me, then you're not welcome here.

I'm sorry. You want to see your mother. You're 68 years old. You're not. You want to go visit with your mom. She's not welcome here. Not if she's going to continue to embarrass her. Well, here's what I'm going to say.

It didn't work that way for me, and it was too disruptive and hard for my husband, even though it was an issue between us. here's what I will say I don't buy into you hear me I'm emphasizing this you know Susan I had a really tough upbringing I was an abused child

I had no modeling to be a parent until I moved in with my stepmom and my dad I didn't know what was up when I had children it was like whoa I could have been abusive and horrible like my mother. But you know what I did? I sat there and got therapy and made

friends and spent my life's work to be the best mom. Did I make mistakes? Yes. So Anonymous, you need to tell your husband from me, just blame on me, Anonymous, having a tough upbringing, blah, blah, blah is not an excuse. And if she has a lack of social skills, Perhaps your husband might suggest that she gets some social skills. Yeah, he tried talking to her as well. Yeah, but otherwise, otherwise, you're going to end up where I ended up. My husband took my mother-in-law for lunch. He would go over there.

I saw her on holiday. Exactly what I said, Kathy. Let him go visit his mother and you don't have to be a part of. But you can't say at the baby shower. Get out of my house. Not a baby shower, but she tells me, like, the name I'm choosing is dumb or stupid. F you. Who asked you? It's not your child. Okay. I want to be at the baby shower, Susan, where at 25 years ago, where you say to your mother-in-law,

F-you, the name is Jeremiah, whether you like it or not. I want to be there. I want to be there. You're entitled to your opinion, dear. Now zip it. Listen, I'm the zip-it queen, and I wouldn't have said that to my mother-in-law. I just chose to stay away and you know who's the big me and Kathy would be your mother-in-law's easy we'd be fun I will anonymous I'm going to say one thing to you do you know who the big loser

here is anonymous your mother-in-law she might be a great grandmother but your kids will sense that it's unfortunate but you know what you can only change in life what you can change so I'm sorry for you and anonymous

if things get really tough you reach out to me I will be your mother-in-law My son and daughter-in-law, sorry, my son-in-law and my daughter-in-law, Sam, the best. And I think yours think the same of you, too, Susan. I wish you a lot, a lot of luck. And you know what? You're going to be on my mind. I wish you patience and to be able to speak your mind when you have to.

And I hope that you find a way to limit your exposure to her because you're not going to change her. No. My boyfriend's professor is way to. 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 just. 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?

All right, Wes West, Prop here from Hood Politics with Prop Podcast. You already know our get-down. If you grew up in our urban areas of comforted struggle, you understand politics much more

than you giving credit for. Fed's taking over American cities, government hop-out boys, hopping out the van, snatching up your theo in them, two wars that was supposed to be solved in 24 hours. Jerry just out here mandering all over the place, the turfs. And of course, the Epstein of it all. Well, this week, we decided to shoot our shot, and boy, did we pull up from the logo, to see if we could get somebody to come tap in with us. And the one and only Jamil Hill pulled up from the Spolitics podcast to keep it a whole century.

The American public is used to being entertained. We're a consumption society. So what Trump figured out is entertain them, and they'll never question you. Listen to the hood politics with prop podcasts on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hi, my name is Enya Umanzor. And I'm Drew Phillips.

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, until this. Pull that. Turn this. It's just, I can do my eyes close. I'm Manny.

I'm Noah. This is Devin. 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. I'm Jamil Hill, host to the Sports and Politics Podcasts Politics. And on the latest episode of Politics, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joins me for a candid conversation about the state of the Democratic Party.

What do Republicans say to you privately, that they won't say public? 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 Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Okay, Susan, today we're going to be playing one of my favorites,

Truth or Dirk, Paradise Edition. We're going to switch. off reading the Bats Room Paradise prompt and we'll both either answer or take a drink if we don't want to answer and I might take a drink even if I do answer. Okay, I'm going to read the first one. Who do you think went home too early and deserved to come back to the beach? And I think we could answer this in unison. Nancy. Nancy. Absolutely. I mean, she was there so short. I know. 24 hours. Out of all the current couples, do you think anyone is faking a physical connection?

If yes, who? Ooh. I don't know. What do you think, Susan? Well, I think since they added money to the game, quite possibly, I think only half of a couple might be doing this. Oh, come on. Spit out. Give me names or drink.

Jeremy. Well, Jeremy said. I think Brian and Jeremy are both after the money. I do. But are they faking a physical connection? I think Brian may be. Yeah, he doesn't. Yeah.

Is he not floating your boat? No. I guess what is that truth? What about, wait, what about the gold? Any goldens faking it? What? And do you think any goldens are faking it? I mean, remember, I'm not faking it because Keith and I have said from the beginning.

Well, there's nothing to fake. You're not, they're not following love. any of the golden's faking it on that? Any of the goldens faking it? I don't think any of the goldens are really well faith was making it a lot. I don't know. All right. Let's move on. Let's move on the next one here. If you could bring one more bonus person to the beach to shake things up that has not been on the season, who would you bring? Oh, how about Jordan

Jordan You mean for the goldits? Yeah Why do you say that? Because I think he was a hot commodity And I think Leslie would dump Gary Well, you know what? I would have drink to that

Let's see what we really think here How about you? Well, I didn't think about the Goldens because so many of them, you know. That's all I think. I also think they should bring C.K. back, by the way. I think he had too short a time on the beach, just saying. Yeah, he's another one. I don't know.

One bonus person, I think any of the young ones would have been fun to stir things up. So really, any of the young ones that got close. Oh, I know. Ready? Yeah. Maria from Joey. season. She would have been great.

I would love to spend some time with her. All right. Okay. Out of everyone that hit the beach this summer, who do you think came for the wrong reasons? Well, clearly Jeremy and Brian, because they're in it just for the money. I mean, the minute that money was mentioned and they were in it. I don't think, I think all of the Goldens, including myself, came for the right

business. We were all hoping to find love. But I think based on what we're seen on the TV, Jeremy. They didn't look like they're ready to fall in love. I mean, they're just in it to win it. And like I said, since they added the money, it's a whole new ballgame. Do you think Gary came for love? I wanted to think that, yes.

But now after I've seen him play with all these women, I'm not so sure. Yeah. But who am I to judge? Who do you think? had the worst luck in paradise i can tell you how about me you look just fine kathy no i'll tell you who had the worst luck who the ones that are still in a relationship that i don't think are going to make it okay well that's that like who jeremy and and bailey yes you know what i think had the worst luck i'm worried about cat and dale cat and dale yeah i like

them too i don't know i'll tell you who i feel like had the worst luck uh was jill and lea everybody put them in the friends of jonathan had the chance to have a relationship with them and he kept you know not finding the one but jill when she left saying i'm so tired of being in the friends out my heart went out of her my heart broke for her too what was the most shocking moment thus far Oh, that's easy. Go ahead. When Jeremy said, I don't care about those golden send them home. Jeremy, I'm coming for you, buddy.

I know where you live, and I am coming for you. What did you think was? A shocking moment. Actually, I'm not shocked, but when April smelled the underwear, oh, God. Oh, I forgot. I was like, no, wait. April, what were you thinking? Not only did you sniff his underwear, you stuck it,

in your bra come on april goldens have more class than that good god i'd forgotten that oh my god so kathy who do you think has displayed the biggest red flag thus far in this season you know i hate to keep picking on brian and jeremy but i'm going to keep picking on them because um i think i just i feel like they're not there jeremy when you say you're there for money but you look like you're there for love, that's a problem. I think Cat and Dale are definitely looking for love. I think Alicia, Alicia, I love her, but it's a little bit of a red flag to me when you say, I really want Dale, I want Dale, and then he doesn't choose you, and then you say, I'm okay with losing Dale.

I also cannot, I mean, I got a lot of red flags waving around here, don't I? What about, what about Jeremy saying that a red flag man, that is 10 red flags and crimson waving when he says he wished Susie came back. He would have gotten on one knee and proposed to her. Bailey, that is a red flag. Yes. Do you think any of the couples are settling? What do you think? Just to be together to stay on the show.

Yes. What do you think? I do. I do. And once again, I don't think it's a mutual thing. I think it's only half. Who? Who?

I feel like Jeremy is there to play the game. I don't feel like after this is all over. I think Bailey's going to be crushed. But I don't know. Anybody else? Cat and Dale. I don't know that I trust it, although I do. like them together?

Dale and Kat? Yeah, I like them together too. I think Kat's got a little bit of, you know, so far she seems like she's struggling to trust it and open up. Right, she doesn't trust it. But I think if she can get past that, maybe, don't have a chance. I'm trying to think who, do you think, do you think getting the Goldens are settling?

Well, you couldn't really say settling, no, because you and Keith, it's not a lot. love romance it's a friendship so that doesn't even count what do you think about leslie and gary leslie and gary i think leslie would be in it to win it i really do and i don't think the show you mean no no no in a relationship i think she would definitely want to develop a relationship with him although i don't think he is really true i don't what do you think about kim and um faith i think kim's going to be crushed because faith is in it right now that's I see, especially after the other night's episode, because they talked about things that were

really important and they felt each other. I'll never forget when Nancy, when they, who was it that shared with Nancy about the death of his wife and how upset she became, she really paid attention. I can't remember. I don't know who she was talking with. It was really Oh, do you mean on, wait, are you talking about Kim losing, Kim lost his wife. Was it Kim? Okay, yes, yes, yes, Nancy was talking to Kim. But here's the thing, is Kim settling or his face settling? Because remember, Kim wrote a poem for Leslie, and that didn't work out so well. Kim wants to find love, but he's trying, if this one don't work.

So is that settling? Just settling for anyone who will take you? Settling to me means they're together and, it wasn't really what they wanted but they'll settle for this it's not or or does it mean that nobody wants me and i'll take anybody you want me it could whatever is kim we hope you found happiness when jeremy said he didn't like the goldens being in paradise mine literally dropped hey your mouth i spent a lot of time with him i told you i had to rewind the tv like i don't care if the Goldens go home. I don't like them being here.

I don't care. Like, Jeremy, let me just tell you something. When you open your mouth and say things like that, there are a lot of us Goldens who are not happy. And it's not looking good. And you know what, I can tell you the truth, because I'm on the outside looking in, okay? Yeah.

When the show started, I watched. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. And when the Golden's arrived, it changed it. It brought wife to the show. It was exciting meeting. everybody like yeah so shut your mouth yeah jeremy thank you i mean you heard it from susan and everything that comes out of susan's mouth is worth listening to so jeremy hey susan let's drink to jeremy shut in your mouth tell him to zip it jeremy surprise you haven't
