Hey everyone Welcome back to Bachelor Happy Hour I'm Joe And I'm Serena And today we are here With a very special guest A good friend of ours She only lives

Probably 15 minutes away Natasha Parker is here Hi Natasha Hello Joe and Serena Hello. What are you guys? What do I want to talk about? I want to talk about why.

Well, you know what we're going to talk about? The grass is green. You know what we're going to talk about for a little bit? And that's you, you're definitely not expecting this. But we have, what we've been doing on this podcast is, yeah, look at your face. It's actually funny. I wish we had the video. Maybe we do.

I don't even know. we've been recapping first nights of seasons so we did we just did Ben Higgins season but we also we also did Peter Weber season so we've been watching the first episode of these seasons then interviewing The Bachelor so we watched like night one did a recap of Peters and then we interviewed Peter and we did the same with Ben and both people we didn't tell in advance that we did that And I guess so you're number three. So welcome, welcome to the surprise. But what's funny is I didn't, you know, I've known you for, we've been friends now for, I don't know, five years, four or five years. Yeah, right around that time. Yeah, yeah. I never saw your night on.

Oh. So, wow. Yeah. You guys were, look, Sabrina, you were like, what a glow up. What a glow up. You do look different. You do look different, though. But also, after seeing you with blue hair, like nothing surprises me anymore of.

Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. The looks changed. That's for sure. The hair was shorter. That is for sure. Night one, I remember it.

I remember pretty much everything. I think that happened. So what we see, what we, what we see, there's like a little few. We're, literally, we're going to talk about this for a few minutes. So I'm like, stress out. Because I'm like, we could get into it if you want to. I remember. I mean, if you want to.

But what we see, I feel like what we see from you is basically like a little back and forth between you and McKenna. Is that how you remember your night one? Honestly, that's not what I remember the most about night one. I remember not knowing what the fuck was going on. That's what I remember the most. But I do remember that, obviously, with the airplane. And, yeah, I do remember that. I do.

So for those that missed it, we recapped it in a past episode. But basically, Maddie Pruitt comes out with this massive paper airplane. And there's a lot of airplane themed things happening that night. Natasha's talking to Pete, Pilot Pete the bachelor at the time. McKenna starts throwing little paper airplanes at Natasha. And then Natasha interrupts them. with Maddie's massive paper airplane. You seem genuinely annoyed,

which I have to imagine you were. I have to correct you. Oh, please deal. She was throwing those planes at Peter. She definitely wasn't throwing him at me. Okay, at Peter. Now, how...

Oh, go ahead. How are you in McKenna? How were you in McKenna after night one? Did you guys like, like, was that like a thing? Yeah, it was a thing. Oh, really? Okay. Yeah, there were two people specifically

on my season well no I would say no just one it was just McKenna who I just steer cleared like if she was in the kitchen I would go in the other room I would you know it was no like beef like per se in the sense of like I

you know I don't hate anyone I didn't hate her but I just kind of steered clear because she just seemed like I was annoyed by her I'm not going to lie yeah no it's and it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't You know, I think sometimes when you meet people, they say first impression is an only impression.

I don't think that's true. I think a first impression is a lasting impression. I agree. Right. Like, you're like, okay. But it's not always like the most accurate representation of who that person is, but it sticks with you no matter what the interaction is. Right. And I think McKenna's great.

But after, I mean, now, you know, in hindsight, I think she's great. But also we had a age gap. as well. I can't remember exactly but she was one of the younger they were like the house was kind of split between like the younger girls

and like some of the older girls yeah she was younger and they kind of hung out the older girls kind of hung out so it was just kind of like we just and there's so many people we never had to really interact with each other I did steer clear but

I did think that it was rude to throw things not gonna lie yeah I would never do that I was like what I'm not gonna throw these and they all hit they were like going after Peter you know and I was like oh she's not throwing those at me is she because girl I will ball this up

and whew it would have turned out majorly differently so that was that was fun but I don't know if you got so you guys watched the first the whole episode right yeah that's it we didn't like we didn't like keep watching the season we're just watching first night one because Peter's first episode was like

two parts it was like night one and then week one of like it like went into dates oh right oh right three hour season premiere you watch like the the intros and things like that. Okay. So there's one moment when I'm sitting by the fire and Chris Harrison brings out the first impression rose.

Yeah. And I'm like, they're like, oh my God, the first impression rose. Oh my God, oh, my God, oh, God. And I'm like, the what? Yeah, no, I remember. I'm like, Natasha doesn't even know what's going on. Do you regret that? Because we've interviewed so many people.

And you and I have interviewed a lot of people where we're kind of like, well, you should have watched. exactly do you regret not knowing so or not preparing i mean yeah so in hindsight if i ever went on another reality show would i ever not watch i would watch absolutely but in this case there was like pros and cons i didn't know what was going on and i think if i would have watched i probably 100% would have self-eliminated. Because, like, not watching, I really didn't think that that was an option,

if that makes sense. Yeah, it does make sense. Right? Like, it wasn't, not saying obviously, it's like one of those things, unless you take the liberty to be like, I am, I want to self-eliminate, it's not an option that they're, like,

presenting to you on the table. It's like you stay and you get sent home. Yes. Or you stay and you end up with him. Like those are kind of the only two things that are up for discussion unless you like go out of your way to say like I want to go. I can't do this. Yes, exactly. And and that's, you know, I talked about like with my producer, I talked about going home. But it was just like I so now watching the show so many people that's such an option obviously because you're like. And it wasn't Peter though. It was more so the time that I felt like I didn't get with him that other people did get with him.

Like, I think Matt- Yeah, because you got like a really late one-on-one. I got a late one-on-one. And Maddie and Victoria both had two one-on-ones before I had one. So I just... Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So I just would have been like, fuck this.

You know what I mean? Like, clearly this guy doesn't like me because he doesn't want to take me on a date. You know what I'm saying? Like, or whatever, right? So I would have probably felt that way opposed to... But, you know, everything happens for a reason. I didn't watch. So I was just kind of like, now what?

Now what? Now what? What's next? What's next? What's next? Well, and I think with your background, too, like, you worked in TV prior to going on the show. So, like, you were missing pieces of information in terms of, like, how the show worked from, like, a structural perspective. But you were, like, you know how TV is made. So you did have, like, that knowledge. No. No. You would also think something that worked in TV would do their research, but. Well, here's the thing that's so interesting. And, like, you know, during my season, people were like, she's a producer plant. Because if you went to my LinkedIn, it said HBO, it said Paramount, it said all these different places that I worked. I watch movies with actors and actresses.

Like we worked in scripted television. I didn't even, I mean, besides Atlanta Housewives, I pretty much never watched reality TV. So it's such a different medium. And it's like to say, like, you know, if you work in news, you know how this work. It's so everything is so completely different in the television industry. So working on a film set is so different even than working on a television set, right, versus reality versus, you know, all the different mediums. So it kind of like, it kind of used to be like, no. And also this is my real life, me, myself, not like, hello, I am an actress coming on this show to date a boy, right?

Although some people, that's how they feel. You know what I mean? but I just felt like having a background in television and also I was working in marketing in TV as well It's like had nothing It didn't mean you didn't go in blind You still went in fully blind

Exactly now commercials Completely now I would have known I can work my way around a commercial set You know what I'm saying? Like that would have been a different thing But I had and also too You think about every every TV show right They have its own rules

in its own little thing. So a lot of people said that, like, she should have known. And I'm like, mm, not really. I wish. But it was fun going in blind, to be honest, because I really focused on my relationship instead of, like, all the beef in the drama. I was always drama adjacent somehow,

but I never really, besides the first night with the whole McKinna thing, I really didn't have any drama, but I saw it all. And I was like, oh, so, yeah. 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, they're the same age. It's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him?

Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I never envision being with a woman. I'll just be honest.

I'm Jamel Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Spolitics. On this week's episode, I'm joined by Basketball Legend, Candice Parker, who stops by to discuss her candid new book, The Can Do Mindset, in which she shares why she waited two years into marriage to come out. Like when I close my eyes at night, every night, I was like, I need to find my prince charming. Like, it was never a princess. Like, that never entered into my mind, but, you know, as I learned, sometimes life gives you things wrapped in 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 Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this. 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. Turn this. It's just, I can do it in my eyes close.

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

Wait, what? Oh, that's the run right. I'm looking at this thing. Listen to no such thing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, so now. how is it I feel like for one advantage that men have coming off the show single is a lot of like you just see it in the in the analytics of Instagram a lot of the followers are female female base so when you do come off this show heartbroken as a single guy or not even heartbroken is a single guy dating becomes much easier it's just easier to date

is a guy off the show yeah and I always say like the guys that come off the show are like pre-vetted now with that being said you know you you went on Peter Weber season and then you were on our season of Bachelor in Paradise and you left both of those seasons single

how did it affect your dating life after do you think there were there any benefits well for bachelor for sure there were benefits in the sense of like personal growth i think realizing how important it is to you know you have such a short amount of time with the bachelor and it's so much more intentional time because you're not on your phones and you have all these other devices so i think you know looking back when i was going through and i got through that whole hump of the bachelor it was like now that i'm when i started dating again

I was so much more vulnerable. Instead of waiting to be vulnerable, I kind of led, I led with that more, I think, and that was just like a personal growth thing that kind of broke in half for me through going through the show and then coming home and like going through all of that. So yeah, so that was a like a, the personal growth, I think it was definitely a positive. The negative side is when I think any girl. whether she got her followers on a show or whatever. Any girl has a bunch of followers on Instagram.

You know, men, feel a type of way about it. What do you mean by that? They feel a type of way about it. I feel like men think. What, jealous? I don't know about jealous, but it's just they think if you have a bunch of followers on Instagram. And it could be 10,000, you know, 100,000, whatever it is, a million. there's just millions of guys in your DMs.

Now, that may be true that there are a bunch of guys in your DMs, but it's like a dude named Gary that's like 65 with like holding a cat. You know what I mean? And he's like, hey Natasha. That's so funny. His name is Gary. Yeah. Okay, well, well, I was thinking G-A-R-Y because there is this dude.

Yeah, okay, but there was no guys that were, I guess, that you were attracted to or your type around your age that we're sliding into your DMs? I mean, not. Well, no. Would you say the show, would you say gaining that following gave you more, I guess, maybe access to maybe better parties or music festivals where then you have a better chance of meeting somebody that you like? No.

No, I don't know. No, only because I live in New York, right? and I've lived here for so long, maybe if I had went somewhere else. Dating, dating-wise, like I said, the personal growth was definitely a plus. I think having a lot of followers, because a lot of men don't watch The Bachelor.

So it's not like guys are in my idea. That was kind of how I preface the question. Yeah. So it's not like guys are like, I saw you on the show, here's a shoulder to cry on. Well, and I find like most men that watch the show because there are men that watch it,

But oftentimes it's like with their sister, with their girlfriend, with their wife, with their mom. They're watching it with a female in their life. That's true. That's true. Yeah. And, you know, certain people who are from other places other than New York, they, I think the access opens up for them. But like, before I went on the show, I've dated ballplayers. you know like the one you know there's people who like get off the show and now they like have all this

access to like all these people they've never met so I mean for that part as far as access no it was just more of like that personal growth and I think a lot of men are insecure when they go to your Instagram that's why now I go on dates with people and I'm like I won't even I don't even bring up the bachelor because it's just like it was so long ago one when I like early on two I don't even give a guy my Instagram right away if I meet them in real life because I mean you don't want them to feel any type of way before they get to know you, at least for me. Well, I will say, Hinge, I can't do Hinge.

I was on Hinge before Bachelor, but now, after that, I can't do Hinge because I have gotten messages from guys on Hinge. Like, you look familiar. Were you on a TV show? Were you on The Bachelor? And I'm like, it just freaks me out. Whereas I've talked to my guy friends from the show

and they're like, I think it's cool when girls say that. And I'm like, oh, it's kind of cringe for me. Well, so how the last guy you went on on a date with, how did you, how did you meet him? We met on Raya. Okay. So Raya's the dating app of choice. Well, I go back and forth between Raya and the league. So, but I only do one at a time.

I can't do both. So, like, I'll do Raya or I'll do the league. And right, I was off Raya for like a year. And then I got back on Raya and then I was now I'm off the league. So, yeah. If I meet a guy on a dating app, it's one of those two. Do you ever meet a guy and go on a date, not from a dating app? Oh, all the time.

All the time. Give me a situation. Um, hmm, let me think. Because the last three guys that I went on a date with was from a dating app. But, um, oh, I was out with friends. We went to drinks and, um, this guy was with like, this guy was with two other guys. and he, you know, just saw me, like, do you want another drink? And I was like, sure.

And then we just got to talking. And he was like, I'd love to take you out. And I was like, great. And we went out and we had a great first date. And then we had an awful second date. And I never talked to him again. Oh. Now, if that conversation went really well, are you even considering hooking up with him the first night?

No. You're not considering it. Mm-mm. No. Was there ever a time in your life? where you would consider that. So the only time at this point in my life, well, if I meet a guy out and I think he's really attractive,

but I don't want to date him, for whatever reason, maybe he's like, doesn't seem that smart to me. I don't know, just something like that. Like, it's like, this is the hot idiot. Yeah, exactly, exactly. The hot idiot. Then maybe But honestly, in New York

I don't do it much The last time I had a whole rendezvous Was I was in I was in the south of France Oh, of course That's the only place That's the only place they have a rendezvous Yeah, it was a great

It was a lot of fun Well, technically that I think that's like That is part of their culture too What? Having more rendezvous? Yeah I mean, yeah And affairs. Affairs are big in France

Yes Well, yes, apparently there's an hour. You know, there's like a happy hour. Apparently there's like a mistress hour or a Mr. Hour. Wait, during, like, during the week? During, during the day, every day. So every day, if you hit up a bar in Paris at like 2 p.m., that's like... You may see a man with his mistress.

Interesting. That is so interesting. Oh, my gosh. Did you guys see that documentary that came out on Netflix? called Ashley it's like exposing to Ashley Madison have you heard of that no so it was a I didn't watch a documentary yet but I saw the trailer but it was a website for people that wanted to have affairs oh I feel like I remember and it was like behind closed doors but then the website got hacked and everyone's information got leaked that only happened like in the last 10 15 years yeah you know yeah

it's somewhat recent yeah because I feel like I remember that happened. I want to watch it. We definitely need to watch that. But wouldn't you use an alias? You would think. But like, but also, also, why do you have to why do you have to go on one of those to cheat?

Like, because everyone on theirs, like, married? Is everyone on their Yeah. Well, that's the, well, that's the point. Oh, okay. We're, like, yeah. It's like, we're all on here trying to cheat on our significant others, like, code of trust. Like, you're married, I'm married. I'm married. We're not trying to date. We're just looking for like a quick affair. I love that one.

It's kind of a smart concept as much as it's like really sketchy and weird. That's fucked up Serena. I love when people say, I love when people say, um, I was just thinking this before the podcast when somebody like will look at you that you just met or you barely know and they're like, okay, circle of trust. And then they tell you something. And you're like, just because you said circle of trust doesn't mean I'm not going to go repeat it. Um, you know what I'm saying? Because I don't, I wouldn't repeat it. But I'm just saying, What about off the record? Even, yeah, off the record, off the record, here's some information that I'm going to give to this stranger that I barely know.

I mean, yeah, if it's like I just met the person, I'm always a little like, wow, like I must be giving off some real trustworthy energy because like you don't know me at all. And you don't know if I'm a trustworthy person or not. But I feel like when you're amongst friends, like it's like, okay, P.S. Like this is in the circle of trust. Like I'm just iterating. When you know the person. Well, yeah, when you know the person, I think this is a person. very normal thing to say. I say it all the time. Or it's like, okay, like,

cone of silence, what I'm about to say, like, stays here. Yeah, I mean, we have, look, we, look, listeners, we have a coat of trust. Me. Yeah. We have a code of trust. We say it all the time. I'll call Joe and be like, let me own speakerphone. Yeah. 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 okay story time. 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?

It was an astrology book. Wait. That Berna gave me. Did she? X-rated, with an X-rated mind. Yeah. Oh, my God. Wait, Serena, what did you think when you heard that?

I was like, Serena's going to be like, what the full? Well, I messaged you because Joe was like, I don't do any of these things. Like, this is so not me, but like most of it was very much. She was less. Serena was listening to the power, watching the podcast. You also put your episodes on YouTube. Yeah. And simultaneously going, this is a lie.

This is a lie. You're lying. Not lying. You're like, I don't throw temper tantrums. I don't need to be in control and right. I don't I told you already I'm channeling

I'm already growing my beard I'm channeling my inner Chris Pratt He's been no Chris Pine Have you seen that photo Chris Pine where he's got like long hair Now he's like grown out his beard It's really giving like I don't give a fuck about anything

I'll send you the photo It's giving caveman Well that's his whole thing Like he just doesn't care anymore And that's how I that's me too Well we're not entering You're too young to be entering that era of your life. Yeah, no, you got to care.

I actually think that's, I mean, here, Natasha, you talk about, like, life in general on your podcast. But, like, I do think that's a healthy outlook in life. To an extent about certain things, yes. Well, I obviously, I care about it. Don't be letting yourself go right now. There you go. There you go, Serena. Tell them.

I went to the gym. I've been to the gym twice in the past 24 hours. Yeah, but I'm just saying this, like, I don't care about anything. mentality I feel like is good in like I don't care maybe like I don't care what other people think of me or I'm not going to let other people's judgment or opinions like influence my mood or emotions or choices yeah exactly but like you're you're you're an extremist and I worry about you taking this mentality to an extreme well I guess you just got to sit back and wait and see what happened yeah it's been most of our relationship so let's talk a little bit about

Hidden Jams. What's, what, what is it about? Hidden Jems is, uh, about helping people get unstuck or people who feel like they need to pivot in their life, because we all have been in that position at some point. Um, I like to interview people about moments in their life where they have been stuck or they have had to pivot and to get to where they are now. And I try to find like little synchronicities in people's lives who I interview. So like you, Joe, you were on. Serena have to have you on as well. And, you know, I just being the night one guy to married, you know what I mean from the show is like to me really awesome and like the mindset from going from one thing to another thing to another thing. And we talked about that on the episode. And I really love

that episode too. The soulmate conversation, so many people messaged me about that in that clip. A lot Yeah, that was a great clip. Yeah, a lot of people were talking about that. I don't believe in soulmates. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So that was, so yeah, so that was good. And I, every single episode, there's something so beautiful that someone says about their life and like what made them get to where they are now. Or, and I mean, I interviewed someone the other day and they were like, you know, I'm stuck right now. I'm stuck right now. And that person is Rachel Lindsay. That episode will probably be out in a couple of weeks. and she, you know, she's going through a divorce

and things like that. And she said she feels stuck in the current moment. Right, right, right. Yeah, because she's going through a pivot and a change and a lot of things in her life are changing right now.

So that is so interesting, like the concept of being stuck during such a huge change because I feel like people associate change with like movement. And it's like all of this is. When you are moving, that's usually the time

don't feel stuck right what do you mean like if you and i were getting a divorce oh god here we go i'm saying like i would i what i was saying is if you and i are getting a divorce i don't know if i don't know if i don't know if feeling stuck would be what i would be feeling i think it would i would not feel stuck well that's my point yeah that's if serena was trying to take all your fucking money you might if seren was trying to take yeah yeah i listen i'm not I'm not, no, I think, I think, I think, no, you're proving my point. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, I think people associate change with movement, but a lot of the time change, especially

when it's like big changes, there's other people involved, you feel stuck. Yes. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, well, yeah, that's, yeah, exactly. Like, you're saying, I would think if we were getting divorced, I would feel like a sense of adjustment and movement. I would feel, yeah, I would feel all, all types of ways, but I don't think stock would be one of them because there is, it is such a huge life change. Yeah.

Well, but the thing is, is if you, it's like, okay, so where do I move now? What do I do now? Where do I go? You know, do I need to switch jobs? You know, do I move into a different house? Because maybe we were both paying for this house, you know? So there's all these decisions that you have to make. And I think that's one thing that gets people in a stuck place is not knowing where to go.

Sometimes you have too many options of, you know, which way. do I go and or if some if life is you know not going well or whatever um there's also just like a stagnant feeling that people will get like I need to change but I don't know how who what way or why I should or can or if you're starting a new business and you just lost a bunch of money do I quit this business do I not do I quit this relationship do I not like you know so there's so many things and I think in the decision making process some people just don't do anything and that's like not the thing to do right so that's where I like to talk to people about how they got through those moments when they got stuck and the main thing that I see from

from successful people I would say who have found success in some area in life is they don't stay stuck for long they try something else or they have like multiple things happening especially in business where they're like okay that's not working but now we can do this or this isn't working in that now we can do that so um that's what I've you know seen and things like that. Do you have a dream guest? Yes. It was the same guest on ClickBate.

It would be my dream guest till she comes, Rihanna, period. I feel like Rihanna would drop gems all day, every day about everything. She also had a big pivot for music to being an entrepreneur and CEO. And I would love to talk about the transition and where she was in her life. And she was like, you know, I'm not going to do music for a while. Now I'm going to do this. And then, you know, Savage Finty and then her makeup. and, you know, oh, I mean, I would just, oh, so many things.

And now she's a mom and she has two kids. If your listeners could take away one thing from listening to you on your podcast, what would you want that to be? I want people to come to the podcast and feel lighter and feel supported in the sense that, like, you don't have to have everything figured out. One of the reasons why I started the podcast is because our suicide rate is so high among young people. and Instagram and social media is such a highlight reel and they look at someone's life and they're like oh look at them they're so happy but people don't understand what it took to get there and the moments of stuck and the moments of in all the pivots that they had to do to get to that point so I want people to not feel as alone in their transitions when they're making transitions and it's okay to let go of things and it's okay to push forward and persevere through things you know

that's like the whole reason why I wanted to start the podcast because I know it can it can be lonely for some people when they're like no one else is feeling this no one else is going through this like I'm in so much debt I'm in this I'm in that but you're not the only one boo you're not the only one do you have a favorite episode that you've done so far oh well I mean I feel like I'm going to get slapped if I don't say Joe's no you don't have to say other than Joe's honestly it wasn't my it wasn't one of my it wasn't my favorite podcast to be on Oh my god. Well, why? Because you were in such a pissy mood that day. I was just joking. I didn't enjoy it. I did. I had fun on that podcast. I would say, so I do three guests and then I do a solo episode. I love, I had an episode with a girl. Her name's Jenny Minen. She is a psychotherapist. And I really loved that episode. We talked about the psychology of love and things like that. And she talked about. about the biggest difference between compatibility and chemistry. I really loved that episode.

I think we listened to that one. Yeah. I also love... Was that the one right before mine? I think so. I think so. Yep, yep, yep. I really love that episode.

And then I also love my manifesting episode. I get a lot of messages about that one because I do think that we are the makers of our universe and we can draw in anything. I talk a lot about femininity. I can't say that those are my. favorite episodes. I just think it really resonates with a lot of people and I love doing those. I love talking about femininity the most. So yeah, that's, that's, but I love everyone. It's so hard to pick because I'm like, I do everything. I find the guess. I figure out, I, you know, research them, talk, you know,

and do everything. So it's hard to like pick because I think everyone is so like amazing and interesting and beautiful in their own way. Good. I think that's a good mentality to have. I think you should like all your all your episodes that you're producing and putting out yeah cool all right we're gonna play um you want to play a game with us yeah Natasha you know how this works rapid fire first thing that comes to your mind you ready okay uh current favorite beauty product um makeup for ever lip liner I forgot the name of it I forgot the name of it but it's a brown lip liner Literally, law state the other day Had to go by two of them.

Bye. 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, 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. Hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That seems inappropriate.
