She was very open about everything. You know, you know her. And I only had talked with her on the phone a few times.

But first of all, I got to say it again. I said it about Kelsey. There you go. The gorgeous hair. Oh, my gosh. This generation, I'm telling you. I'm telling you. I don't know what's in the water.

But anyway, but no, she's so open about, you know, talking about being celibate and not dating and sober and sober any one of those things would be incredibly life-changing but the fact that she has so much energy and is so open to talking about those things what a great interesting person she is a 29 year old that went through a lot and came out on top and she knows herself now she knows her limits you know and and really she's not really open to exploring anybody else right now she's just doing her and and yeah she's to her and i was amazed she talked i don't know the background i don't need to but you know just rolled off her tongue you know well my relationship with my mother now she got out of prison this

time just she's so and she won't take advice from her that was funny what did she say she's married she's been married four times and you know this guy and that guy just gets been bad places when she's with them oh my god well today we're answering more of our fan questions and we're so excited to get into these yes and don't forget if you have a question for susan and may please send them in all you have to do is go to bachelornation dot com slash golden hour we love answering these questions and we always have a thought or two don't we susan oh indeed we do all right kathy before we get into those questions let's get started with today's question of the day all right so today's topic for discussion do you think it's okay to have a serious celebrity hall pass in a relationship

what no no wow i don't think you get a hall pass in any relationship no what does that even mean Oh, okay, go have a ball today and I'll see you tomorrow. And we'll go right back to normal. I don't think so. I don't. I don't. I really think that. Hall pass means what I think it means, right?

Well, I think it means any behavior is okay, not just sexual behavior. I think it means any kind of behavior is okay because you get a hall pass because you're a celebrity. And I'm like, no. Absolutely not. That's a easy one. Wait a minute. Is it scary? that, scaring you that you and I agree so much?

No, I don't get scared of that. I like them and you agree with me. Oh, gosh. All right. Well, let's get on to our fan questions because we have some great ones here. Let's start with Sydney. Sydney asks, hi, Susan and Kathy. Absolutely loving the podcast.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful friendship with all of us. I was wondering, when do you think it is the appropriate time? to discuss your dating history with someone you are seeing. Or do you have to say anything at all? I'm in my mid-20s and have had very limited dating experience because of personal choices and putting my education first. There have been multiple occasions where I share this with someone and the response is not positive.

It feels like looking for a first-time job. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks so much. What do you think? People judged him because he put his education of first, that would attract me even more. Well, I don't know. Did you have a good head on your shoulders?

Yeah, Sydney, Cindy, the city may be a girl. I don't know that I think that may be a girl. Oh, I beg a pardon. Well, I don't know. It could be either, actually, but I just assumed. But I think, um, well, that would make a difference, wouldn't it, Kathy? I think because men would appreciate a woman that chose, but women would judge men, right? Oh, God.

I didn't know who Sidney was. Sydney, let us know. Sydney, we need pronouns now. You know, he, she, her, them, they. We need a pronoun here. Here's what I think, though. I have known people, like my sister, she'll kill me if she hears this.

She was married to a guy. They're now divorced. And she wanted to know about his dating history. and he did not want to tell her and he said life starts today with us he didn't want to hear her dating past she really wanted to know his dating past so i kind of think it depends on the couple i'm not exactly sure um why it matters that's i guess that's my question why does your dating history matter so i don't know that we need details of anyone's backstory but maybe you're having a a conversation like when was your last relationship like I don't want to be somebody's rebound

person so I would kind of want to know or did you just jump out last week and here I am you know I wish I'd ask that that's a good lesson well well but I but this almost sounds like the person is you know I don't want to get in this relationship if you haven't had a like is there something wrong with you that you haven't had a lot of that which I don't like that I don't like that The reason that they just told us was because of they were educated. They were following their education. I don't, Susan, I don't care if they were sitting in a corner sucking their thumb. What does it matter?

What they do with their time? You know that saying it's a red flag. Oh, there's a guy. He's 60. He's never been married. Red flag. They go, why? Yeah, but this girl's 20.

She's 23. Or this guy, they're 23, 24. I mean, honestly, I think that is absurd that anyone would say, well, you know, you're 24. and you haven't had five boyfriends and, you know, six, six deep relationships by the time you're 24. I don't get that, but maybe it's because we're old. She said the response is not positive. It feels like looking for her first time job.

Tell them it's none of your damn business what I've done. But I wonder why. Don't you want to know why they're asking? I don't get it. And that's what I'm saying. It's like, you know, if you're a member of this club, I don't want, you know, who wants be a member of the club you're a member of kind of thing like who cares but i think i think i think i think women want to know more than men do you agree with that i think women want to know men's

past more than men want to know women's pass yeah because men just want to pretend nothing happen yeah men want to believe they're the first one you've ever gotten in bed with this age you're a virgin you're a virgin at 50 that's right i've never dated anyone i'm so glad i met you please get a life honey don't worry about it be you be you and the right person isn't going to worry about that right yeah i think okay this one's from anonymous hi i am 66 years old i'm a widow and i met a 70 year old widower and we have been together for the last 10 years we met when i was 55 and i felt so lucky to find love at that age you are and i'm happy for you yeah i was a lot thinner than I have been trying to lose weight but found out I have a fatty liver and

nodules on my thyroid so I have been eating clean and working out but I haven't been able to lose weight enough weight and I feel like he is no longer attracted to me since I have put on this weight I am so disappointed in this relationship and I think I may need to end it I hate the thought of starting over with someone new and I do feel like I am still attracted to him and I do care for him but I want to go back to the way it was and it just isn't getting there whenever I say I'm not happy he says well find someone else

so I guess I need to do just that he also developed throat cancer and is getting treatment for it and I also don't feel right about leaving him while he is going through this. I'm in a tough spot. What would you do? Thanks.

Love you, gals. A lot to unpack there. You think? Again, you know, so many questions. I mean, a fatty, you know, all her health issues, I don't know. I know that you can't, and you shouldn't, no one should be fat shaming her. So wait, before we even get there, they love each other and she put on weight. So that's going to make him not love her anymore.

I have dated guys, Susan, I have dated men who say they like dating me because I'm thin. They don't want to date fat women. I've had a man tell me that. Well, that's funny. You're saying that wasn't too long ago. And I quote, you can never be too rich, too tan, or too thin. Who said that? I won't say a name, but yeah.

Okay, since I just had four things burned off my face, trust me, you can be too tan. I don't know. I think that she's got some issues here. I, you know, forgive me anonymous, but I feel like I get to weigh in on this, no pun intended, because I used to weigh 200 pounds. So I know that I struggled with how I felt and other people saw me. And I think you are struggling a little bit with your weight yourself. And all I can tell you is forget the guy for a minute. If you are uncomfortable the way you look, if it bothers you.

I don't see here what he has done. She's assuming he is no longer attracted. It's her thing. Yes. I think it's more about her. And we don't know if their sex life has deteriorated if it was ever there. But having been in her shoes for a different reason, I'm guessing that she is attracted to him, but she probably feels she is not attractive to him. Does that make sense? She's not happy with herself. She's not happy with herself. She says whenever I say, I'm not happy. He said, well, find someone else. So I guess I need to do that. That was a odd thing, you know, well, go find someone. somebody else. But is you walking around going, I'm not happy. I'm just not, you're not happy with yourself. That's what I just said. You need to do a self-check. Because if you're not 100%, then you can't give 100%. That's right. And if you're unhappy with yourself, you know, you can't blame it on the other person. And I, and I feel for you that you've gained the weight and you've lost some of your

confidence. But deal with the issue at hand. Make yourself feel better about who you are. Because Anonymous, if you are looking for him to make you happy, I don't care if you're 5, 15, or 55. You've got to be happy yourself. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Oh, wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot.

He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them.

I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK 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, Politics.

On this week's episode, I'm joined by basketball legend Candice Parker, who stops by to discuss her candid new book, The Can Do Mindset, in which she shares why she waited two years into marriage to come out. Like when I close my eyes at night, every night, I was like, I need to find my prince charming like it was never a princess like that never entered into my mind but you know as I learned sometimes life gives you things wrapped in the package that you 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. The U.S. Open is here, and on my podcast, Good Game with Sarah Spain, I'm breaking down the players from rising stars to legends chasing history, the predictions, well, we see a first time winner, and the pressure. Billy Jean King says pressure is a privilege, you know. Plus, the stories and events off the court, and of course the honey deuses, the signature cocktail of the U.S. Open. The U.S. Open has gotten to be a very fancy, wonderfully experiential. sporting event. I mean, listen, the whole aim is to be accessible and inclusive for all tennis fans, whether you play tennis or not. Tennis is full of compelling stories of late. Have you heard about Icon Venus Williams' recent wildcard bids or the young Canadian, Victoria Mboko, making

a name for herself? How about Naomi Osaka getting back to form? To hear this and more, listen to Good Game with Sarah Spain, an IHeart women's sports production in partnership with deep blue sports and entertainment on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your Podcast. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Okay, let's move on to our last question here. Susan and Kathy, love the show and love all of your great advice. It got me thinking about my own situation, and I thought it would pop in to see what you have for me. A lot of context for you. My dad and I haven't always had the closest relationship, but have gotten closer over the last decade since having my own kids.

Recently, he got married for a third time without telling me or my sister and expected us to be happy for him. While we expressed our congratulations, we both followed that with the question, did you get a pre-up? When he scoffed and told us, of course not, we almost lost our minds. My dad has always worked very hard for what he has and went through two divorces in his life, including from my own mom. his late father my dear papa always taught him what it meant to leave a legacy for the next generation the entire family is on the same page about his second wife having taken advantage of him but he claims this time it's different soon after the surprise wedding he presented my sister and me with his will it basically states that if he dies before his now wife we are to make sure she gets everything we only found out he was dating this woman the day of my papa's funeral

year less than three years ago. She claimed she is not with my dad for his money, but has liberally redecorated my entire childhood home and has made some large purchases. And she doesn't work either. I have done my best to come to terms with the situation to give myself some peace. My question is, do I have any right or am I crazy for feeling betrayed and backhanded by my dad for his decision? I don't want to come off as entitled, but my papa would be rolling in his grave if he knew what my dad did to his granddaughters. She's got kids of her own that everything would be passed down to. And from what I know, they don't have a very good relationship at all. Thanks for bearing with my long-winded question. What do you think, Susan?

Oh, my God. That's a lot. Well, I mean, it's one thing for a man to want to take care of his wife, the woman he loves, but that's your family. I mean, there is, yeah. Wait, so you're agreeing that there should have been a pre-up? Yeah. Okay, so I have a different, different take on this year. When he's scumpton told us of course not. I think he made, there is, I think he made, that's that, no one's arguing that. He can do whatever he wants to do.

He earned the money. He can burn it. He can give it away. I think, um, he's clearly, dated this woman three years so you know if she's a gold digger she's waited three years and the part that she redecorated that's her home now why not it's her home i don't i don't

fault that um i think i think the deal is um i don't blame you for being upset anonymous that he didn't tell you i think that's sad for the family connection that you know you and your sister were not told um about the wedding um clearly your dad you know moves from woman to woman because he's been married what three times three times um well i don't judge him for that i don't no no i'm saying he hasn't found what he wanted so it but but the

but the but the but the bottom line here is it's his money he earned it and i think that the the daughter who's writing this anonymous i think that if your dad had no money um you wouldn't be having the issue, I think the issue would be centered around that you didn't get a chance to meet or go to the wedding, whatever, you didn't know. But for you, it's centered around the money because you want it. And I'm not, I'm not, she wants it for her, her girls, his granddaughters. You know what? Go earn your own money. He earned it. He can do, I know that's not a popular thought. And in my own case, with my husband passing away and he worked very hard for his money

and so I want to leave our children some money and your grand children but I have to live right and and but this guy anonymous his dad this is a different situation his he divorced your mom

and that's really sad but he has met this woman and says it's different and I say whether it's different or not different, it's his money, his choice. And I'll tell you something else. She's got to stay out of it. She's got to stay out of it.

But maybe have a conversation with your dad. What are you going to say? Especially if there's a lot of money. Like, Dad, what about my kids? What about? Well, I think she could do that. She did. The question I had was she says something about the will.

It makes it sound like the kids are the executor or something. and they want her to make he wants the kids to make sure his wife gets taken care of for life I would say anonymous if he doesn't have it in his all didn't she he said that she said that um he wants to make sure that she is taken care of that's and so I'm thinking well if well then that's fair and that's his wife make sure you take care of her too. Well, that's the question. Not you, but her as well. That's what it sounds like, right? Yeah. Well, you know, money, money has broken apart. And whether she works or not is none of her business. Yeah. Money is broken apart more than one family. Oh, yes, it has. God bless.

But wouldn't you like to have a lot of it so we could have this discussion? And she's worried that her kids are going to get it all. He's not, I don't see here that she's getting everything and your family isn't. Oh, no, no, no. He's just making sure she's getting. some as well. That's not the way I read it. I read it that since there's not a pre-up to make, no, he did say, and make sure his now wife, we are to make sure she gets everything. It is and that's what that's what I'm saying, Susan. If it's not in the will that she gets everything, she's not going anonymous, you can do whatever the hell you want. Oh, that's sticky. Good luck, honey. I don't know if we help that one, Kath. Well, you know, it's hard. Money. I,

do you want to play moral quandary because I'm tired of talking about money. If I don't have the money, I'm tired of talking about it. Let's do it. All right. Here we go. So we're going to take turns, reading the quandary and giving our thoughts on what we would do. Kathy, you want to start us off? All right, but Susan, listen, sometimes you get mixed up on this one.

You're going to guess. Oh, God. Here we go. Am I guessing? You are going to guess what I would do. and then I'm going to guess what you would do. Oh, I always say what I do. Stop making it about you, Susan.

It's all about me, Kathy. It's all about it. Okay. All right, here we are the first one here. All right. Your close friend's boyfriend tells you he is planning to propose, but your friend just told you they're planning to break up with them. Oh, shit.

Yeah, really. Do you tell either of them? You don't know why your friend is breaking up with them, but they're going to do it very soon. What do you do? You know what I would do. Nope. No, Susan?

I'm not saying what I'm doing. Kathy, I think you would tell them. It's your friend. You wouldn't tell you to stay out of it? Well, my, wait a minute. My friend, my friend's pronoun, there's a lot of pronouns in this question. Let's do, let's read this again. Well, so what I'm saying is if it were you and me and your boyfriend told you that some guy was going to propose to me, and I had just told you I was going to break up with him.

Would I tell me? I think you would tell me. Kathy, get ready. Go tell that guy. Don't do it. So who would you tell me or the guy? I'd probably tell the guy when he told me. Oh, I see.

I wouldn't. I'd come to you. Or either of them. Yeah, I would tell you as well probably. Oh, see, I guess that you would, I guess that you would tell me. What did you think I would do? I think you would tell me. Yeah.

I would tell you, I wouldn't go to the guy. No brain. Yeah. Okay. Who could keep that in and watch it unfold? Like, that's... Well, you know what's horrible is what she said, they say she's going to do it very soon, but think about it. What if, you know, the guy decided to propose tonight to me and, and your boyfriend said it was going to be next week and I'm sitting there and you knew it?

Oh, no. Oh, boy. All righty. Okay. During a heated argument, your husband admits he had an emotional affair four years ago. It was right around the time you were caring for your youngest when they were a newborn. And it was with a coworker that is still. on his work team how do you move forward wait can i just go back to the last question yeah

maybe you shouldn't tell me because i'm going to get the ring and then i'm going to break it off and i'm going to keep the ring okay that's a fun area this one's tough okay i think what do you think what do you guess that i would do well it's not asking us what we would do though during a How do I move forward? How do you think I would move forward? Well, I don't know. It was just an emotional one. That would hurt.

What would I do? Not you, Susan. No. You don't know how would you move forward? You would not be happy with him at all. I don't think you could do it. You think I'd divorce him? No, not divorced, but it would cause a strain and you would have some issues with it.

as anybody would I was just going to say you'll cause a strain you know what I would do I would say thank you for sharing but the fact that we're having heated arguments

and you know we've got a four year old now I would say we might need to get some counseling because there's going to be hard for me you know an emotional affair can be emotional

yet thoughts of somebody else or you're just sharing and opening up I don't know but yeah But Susan, emotional scars are much deeper than physical scars. Oh, they don't heal, honey. That's right. So I think you would talk to him, but I think I'd have to do like some kind of therapy

because there's something wrong in the relationship. I mean, I hate to say it, but, you know, the guy probably wasn't getting enough attention. Yeah. Well, that's what happens when they had a newborn. So, I mean, that happens a lot. That's every day. I know. Right. Come on, guys.

Because mommies are occupied with. the baby. I know. Daddies don't do what mommies do. Okay. There's a lot of hands on dads. I get it. Men, listen up. It's not that we don't love you. It's that we birthed this child. We're feeding this child. We're responsible for it to bring. So is daddy. Daddy's responsible too. But literally that baby has come from us. And you just got to put on your big boy pants for a little bit why we're figuring out how to be mom because it's new to us. It's new to you. You can't be number one all the time. So let's just do the opposite of this. They're having a heated argument and he admits that he had an emotional affair. They're arguing. Is it her that's making him so unhappy and he had

nowhere else to go? So I can't, did I just hear that out of your mouth? Yeah. Did I just hear out of your mouth? Because that's probably what I say why I do it. That you blame. No, no, no, you just blamed the woman for a man having an other side to it and the other side you are going to blows on this with me a man i will never you should never excuse a bad behavior by a man a woman never makes a man have an affair physical or emotional a man chooses to as does a woman do you not think there's a difference between a physical affair and an emotional affair do you think one is That's not what I'm arguing with you. That's not what I'm saying.

You said maybe she was this and that. And so he forced him to have an affair. Who's causing the argument? You said it forced him to have an affair. A man is never forced to have an affair. I said forced? Yeah, like he chose to do it because she was being a mean bitch or whatever. That's not forced, but he had nowhere to go.

He needed to talk to somebody quite possibly. Great, go get a therapist. You don't need to be talking to a coworker. Oh, Susan. I would have never admitted it, ever. Cheater. Cheater Never cheater

Cheater 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 podcast So we'll find out soon

This person writes My boyfriend has been hanging out With his young professor a lot He doesn't think it's a problem But I don't trust her now he's insisting We get to know each other But I just want her gone Now hold up

Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not?

I'm Jamel Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Politics. And on the latest episode of politics, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joins me for a candid conversation about the state of the Democratic Party. What do Republicans say to you privately that they won't say publicly? Many of them are in fear of their political lives, 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.

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. all right all right here's the next one no this is why we're both single okay you and your current boyfriend of six months run into his ex the interaction doesn't go well and you find out that they broke up because your boyfriend was unfaithful during their relationship how do you proceed

do you sit down and talk about it to get the full picture or do you forget about it oh susan what you would do You know that guy's ass in a chair so fast, asking him. You're going to have the talk. I want details. Yeah, she wants details. I think he would ask the same thing. You know what? I have to say it would depend how long ago the X was.

If it was, you know, if it was a recent ex. Yeah. Yeah, I could care less. But if it was a recent X, I might want to sit down. You're right. And talk to him. And I don't know that I would need the full picture, but, you know, you said one time on another podcast, once unfaithful, always unfaithful. You know, once a cheater, always a cheater.

Not necessarily. Now people learn. Oh, no, you said that before. I don't think I said that. So men, you would think that man could cheat and then never cheat again? Yes, definitely. Okay. So then you would send him down.

Because he learned from it, hopefully. Yeah, I would sit them down. You're right. You know what I find interesting in these moral quandaries? It's always the guy having the emotional affair. And we know that's not the truth. We know that women do it too. So those of you out there, we're not man bashing today.

We're not attacking men. Okay. All right. You met or you meet your boyfriend's friends for the first time and realize they all have much livelier and more fun personalities. and they're all significantly, significantly more attractive than your boyfriend. It's so obvious that it makes you a little uncomfortable and a little disappointed. Once you two leave the hangout, how do you proceed?

What would I do? What do you think I would do? Nothing. I think you're fine. You're here with him for a reason. And just because some other ones were more fun, well, the fun part might hurt you. More attractive? I don't know.

You know what, you know, what I'm reading, when I'm reading this? Yeah. This girl's not that into him. The other guys are more attractive. They're more fun. She's uncomfortable and disappointed in her boy. Yeah. She clearly, so if this for me, it would be a wake-up call.

Like, you know, I was, I'm not as into them as I thought I was. These other guys are more appealing. You? you on the other hand would walk in my opinion you would walk away and make the best of the situation and just think whatever you know they're that and this is my night when he wasn't around i might go hanging out with the other guys oh so you're going to have the emotional affair okay or say i'm there with him i'm you're going to see nice looking better looking more fun people in the world every damn that you chose to be with him so she's not 100% or not this isn't a question this no it's not a question

exactly but i'm just saying for me i would that would be a wake-up call to me like oh maybe i'm not as invested as i thought i was not 100% in yeah yeah all right here's our last one okay you over here your mother-in-law talking to her a fair partner on the phone confirming she's going to file for divorce at the end of the month when she sees you you and realizes you overheard, she begs you not to say anything to your husband because she wants to tell him in a few weeks once the process has started. Do you tell him anyways or honor her wishes? Susan Knowles would beat a track to her husband to tell him. Am I right? It's my mother-in-law. I just said, you would not tell her? Tell your husband?

No. She begged me not to say anything. No. I am not getting in the middle of that. Okay, what would I, what would I do? It's your mother-in-law. Well, you weren't crazy about your mother-in-law. She wasn't crazy about you. You know what? I had sister-in-to-your-your-self. I had sister-in-laws that were troubled.

My husband, I swear to God, was hatched from somewhere else because he really was not anything like his sisters. I'm just there to tell you. Are you going to mind your own business? No, I'm going to tell my husband, because I'm married. You're not your husband. Yes. I realize I've heard. She begs you not to say anything to your husband.

I beg your pardon. I heard it as her husband. Oh, hell no. Oh, hell no. Yeah, I'd tell my husband. Yeah, I thought so. When you said you wouldn't, I was like, what? Yeah, and you're right, I would tell my husband.

If you didn't say it, I'm saying it for you. That's the meaning of a relationship of a husband. You share everything with them. Unless it's you and me. And then we share everything because we don't have husbands. Whoa, that was a lot. That really was a lot. Okay.
