All right, West West, Prop here from Hood Politics with Prop Podcasts. You know I get down. You come from the urban areas.

You understand politics more than you giving credit for. Between Jerry out here, Mandarin all over the place, hop-out boys snatching up family members and two wars that was supposed to be done in 24 hours. Not to mention Epstein. We had to reach out to the homie Jamil Hill because she going to keep it a century. Because 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.

Welcome back to Bachelor Happy Hour's Golden Hour. Thanks for joining us. another great episode and another great week.

We are so excited to be back today. How's it going for you, Susan? I'm just having a great time here in St. Martin. It's beautiful. I haven't gone to the beach yet, but... Is it hot? Weather? It's always hot.

It's always hot. It's a little humid, but... Define a little humid. Well, to you, Kathy, you don't feel heat to me. Like, ugh. I know. I don't feel heat. I feel the cold.

I don't feel cold. I know. But thank you, everybody, for you. joining us today and answer. We're going to answer a lot more questions. We love getting these. So keep submitting and you know how to do it. Remember, bachelornation.com slash golden hour and just keep them coming. Okay. We really do love hearing from you. We love getting your questions, your updates, your comments, your everything you have to say. We want, you know what, Susan, I'm actually surprised that we haven't had

many updates yet or questions about your relationship with Frederick. I know. I know. I get in my DMs, though. Well, listen, folks, if you are curious about Susan's relationship or my lack thereof, you can DM us on

Instagram at Bachelor Happy Hour. All right now. So, it's time to get into the episode. Let's start, Kathy, with the question of the day. All right. And what's the most bizarre breakup or falling out, you or a friend have experienced the most bizarre? Well, I can answer that easily because I haven't had that many breakups.

And it was the guy you know this story. I had a date. Yes. Should I tell this story? Yes. I had two dates with a guy. I ultimately, after the second date, told him, Adios, Oste Loego, see you later. thank you because all he did was talk about his money, which I guess had worked for a lot of other

women, but it just turned me off completely. So I said thank you, but no thank you. Send him on his merry way and thought everything was fine until Susan and I were flying back from St. Martin in February and I got a call from a number I didn't recognize, but she left a voicemail. And she asked me to call her. And she said it was about some orders. Anyway, I called her, and she went on about this guy, and she said, you know, he said that, by the way, let me repeat, I had two dates with him. She said, he said that you chased him for three months, and all you wanted to do was hop into bed with him, which can I just assure you folks, not true, and that he said horrible things about your husband, which, of course, he never knew my husband, knew nothing about my husband, except that he had died. she went on and on about what a lot i mean it went on i said to susan this woman is crazy or she had a terrible experience with him yeah yeah and so what did i do susan said delete her block him i don't

block him so i mean that was the most bizarre thing because i had two dates with the guy that was that was crazy what about you nothing really bizarre i mean my my relationships i drag it out because I always feel guilty if I want to end something. They're always in a nice way. Well, you've had, I know for a fact, you've had, I've had stalkers afterwards. Well, you've had guys who after you've broken up, they say to you, they keep reaching,

oh, like you've told me, they keep reaching out and they, like, we could have been so great. And I'm like, you told the guy, you know, no, I mean, you were never into him. That is the amazing thing. Susan will say, you know, I'm not into this guy, and it's very clear she's not, and men misread it with you. Yeah, no, I don't know why, because I'm too nice about it. I don't say exactly like I'm just not into you.

Well, I didn't say that to this guy that I had two dates with. And I didn't say all you do is talk about your money. I just said, you know, you're a very nice man, but I don't think we're a good match, and I wish you all the best. You know, the standard Dear John thing. So I don't know. It was just a freak count. That's all. I think he was just a freak.

Which makes me scared today. Oh, God. I mean, it does. Oh, wait, can I talk about your Google number? She had somebody asked her for her number one time that she met and she was chatting with quite a bit. And there was some potential, at least, we thought. Yeah. And he asked for her number.

And Kathy goes, well, I'm going to give you my Google number. And he was offended by it. Not only was he offended. He said to me, a Google number? What's that? And I said, that's what I said when you said, and you need a Google number. A Google number for anyone who doesn't know who's from the dark ages, a Google number is a number that is untraceable. Because trust me, folks, you put your cell phone out there.

You can find your name, your address, your height, your weight, anything about you. So my kids. Well, my kids said to me, yes, but they don't know their name when they call. They know my first name. I don't give him my last name. So I gave this guy my Google number. and he said, ask me what a Google number was. I told him. And then he said, wait, you're not giving me your real phone number? I said, no, it's a real phone number. It's just untraceable.

I said, my children require it for my safety. And what happened to that guy, Susan? He was gone. He was gone. But you know what? I was happy. If that bothered him that he didn't care about my safety, then he was probably a loser too and a freak. So you know what? Get your Google number and use it. That's my advice. I don't use Google. We're going to get into our fan questions. My first question is, how many of you all have Google numbers? No, I'm kidding.

Let us know if you have a Google number. Okay. Our first question is from Tanya. Hi, Kathy and Susan. I need to know if you think I'm overreacting. My 10-year-old daughter was asked by another classmate to be their Valentine. She turned him down.

In this class, they're both in. The kids are able to do presentations at any time about any subject. The student, she turned down, did a presentation about heartbreak and called her out in the presentation in front of the entire class. The teacher shut it down, but she came home so upset. Am I valid in thinking what a creep this kid is and totally pissed? What should I do about this? Other than the teacher stopping the presentation, nothing has been done. I don't believe his parents have been notified because I haven't heard anything from them. Thanks ladies. Oh, I was, I want to hear what you say because I was in education.

What says you, Susan? Well, I mean, she's only 10 years old, you know, and she said no. And then for him to say heartbreak in front of the class, she could just, I mean, she's 10. What do you expect from her? And I'm concerned that Tanya said the kids are creak. Tanya, he's a 10-year-old boy. He's a 10-year-old and he had his heartbroken just that. He likes her. However, mom needs to chill. Yes, but no, but it's her daughter, Tanya's daughter. I get that. I think, I'm not sure.

I mean, I worked in a very, I worked in a very poshy private school. I don't know what they would have done. And my gut reaction is that I probably wouldn't have called the parents, but all presentations, in my opinion, should have been looked at by the teacher. I agree. I think the teacher, I don't expect the parents. You can't notify the parents. It happened in school.

It should be dealt with in school. So what if they did notify his parents? What are they going to do? Honey, you're not allowed to show that you're hurt. No. Well, I think you're exactly right. The teacher should know what they're going to say before they get up. Yeah.

I mean, when I taught and I taught a speech and communications class, you think I'd just send the kids, hey, get up and talk about what if you want to talk? No. Yeah, right. Yeah, no, it was always a process of, you know, step one, stage two. So I would, Tanya, if I were, if I were displeased with anyone, it would be the teacher for not checking the presentations first. And have a talk with your daughter saying there is nothing wrong with not wanting to be someone's found. That is, oh, Susan, I'm good, I'm agreeing with you.

The child realizes that he had his little feelings hurt because he, likes you and you're not going to like everyone that likes you. I love this Susan. I'm going to put a plaster a star on your forehead today. I love that answer. I love that answer. And that's saying something for Kathy to love my answer.

No, a lot of times you give good answers, but that is a very reassure the boy. Not everybody is going to be your person. Again, if I were the teacher, strike one for the teacher that she didn't see it ahead of time. Strike two,

if the teacher did not take it, as we call a learning, a teaching moment to take that child aside and explain to him why that probably was hurtful and not appropriate. Yeah, I definitely agree. 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, 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. Fans 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 mandering all over the place. the turiffs. 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 politics with prop podcasts

I'm Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, and in session 421 of Therapy for Black Girls, I sit down with Dr. Ophia and Billy Shaka to explore how our hair connects to our identity, mental health, and the ways we heal. Because I think hair is a complex language system, right?

In terms of it can tell how old you are, your marital status, where you're from, you're a spiritual belief. But I think with social media, there's like a hyperfixation and observation of our hair, right? That this is sometimes the first thing someone sees when we make a post or a reel

is how our hair is styled. We talk about the important role hairstylists play in our community, the pressure to always look put together, and how breaking up with perfection can actually free us. Plus, if you're someone who gets anxious about flying, don't miss Session 418

with Dr. Angela Neil Barnett, where we dive into managing flight anxiety. Listen to therapy for black girls on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Spain on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports.

I never envisioned being with a woman. I'll just be honest. I'm Jamel Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcast, 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. Okay, the next question is from Molly. Hi, I need some help because I feel like I'm being harsh. My family and I take a trip every year with our friends, Dale and Naomi, and their two children.

We became friends with them back when we were neighbors. They moved a few years ago. so we kept up our once a year trip to keep in touch. Well, last year sucked. I just don't have anything in common with them anymore. They've become the couple that you exchange niceties with in a social setting or stop by their parties purely out of politeness. I know the kids get along and Dale and Naomi don't have many friends,

so I feel guilty putting an end to this trip. but I just don't want to go if I'm being honest. The trips just feel awkward and we have nothing to talk about. I prefer to take a vacation I actually want to be on. What should I do, thanks. This is so easy. Then you answer first. It's so easy.

First of all, vacations are expensive, right? Trips are expensive. So you should never be, unless you're taking me on the vacation, You should never feel pressured into doing it. Here's what I would do, Molly. I would, when they call you to set up the next year's vacation, I wouldn't take the call. You know, I would, or if they bring it up to say, you know, the kids are getting into sports or my husband may be changing jobs or the wicked witch from the north might be moving south. Say whatever you've got to say.

No, no, I'm saying delay it as long as you can. then when it comes push comes to shove you know what you do you say the nice thing Susan I would love to go with my brand new husband and you and frederick but this year we don't have the money or my husband has to take a business trip or the kids are in so many activities or you know what this year we just want to do we we have so little time alone as a family this year that's what I would say any of those my point is you know don't say you suck and we hate our trip to you because you're worried. Of course not. But I would say, you know what, as much as I love getting together with you, we're going to have to think of a

different way to do this. Maybe a day somewhere. That's a lie. Because I, no, then she would still doing it. As much as I love getting together with you. As much as we enjoyed our best vacations, whatever, this year, we're going to do something on our own. But we love to catch up for a day at an amusement park or whatever that all the kids could just back out of it back out of it but my point in all this molly is do it with grace do it with kindness there's no reason to hurt their feelings i mean there just isn't just and they won't have many friends it's the same yeah they don't have any friends so i can't get a lot or maybe make a mini one or something just cut the time down i don't know we don't know here's the thing they're not neighbors any longer so theoretically they probably don't even live close to each other and people are involved and they get new friends and, you know, they're busy. Are you trying to tell me something, Susan? Try to tell me something? Okay.

So now we're going to play a game. Think fast, Susan. We'll see how you do at this. Yeah, we'll see. Molly, but wait, before we finish, Molly, let us know. Just be kind and we wish you luck on that one. But let us know how it goes. But Molly, I do have to say one thing.

I've had to do things that I didn't want to be in the company of and out of the goodness of my heart, ideal, and I go, just like you have. But there does come a time that you just have to say now. Yeah, it's expensive. Trips are expensive. All right, here we go. We're going to be playing this game called Think Fast. We'll take turns, reading off hypothetical situations, and we're going to answer what we would do.

Okay, Susan, I'll read you the first one. What would you do? You show up to a wedding. By the way, you're not officiating this one. You show up at a wedding, but you realize you're wearing the bride's actual wedding dress. How do you fix this without causing a scene? Here's the thing. In this case, I think that if you should have put a wedding and you had a dress on that maybe you wore it in pink, but it also came in white and the brides, obviously the bride's got the white one. I don't know.

I probably would, hopefully I'd have a shawl or something that I could, you know, I wouldn't dance much. I'd probably leave early. Susan would do the Irish goodbye out right after the, right after the nuptials. I would feel terrible, but how could you know that? I mean, I'm not, I'm saying I would probably, if I was in my husband or my boyfriend or my partner, I might ask to put on his jacket something to make it look. And then, you know what if somebody said to me, oh my God, they're wearing the same dress. You know what I would say?

I would ask stupid and go, oh my gosh, are we? I wouldn't. You know what I would say? Yeah. You know, we are, but look how beautiful she looks as the bride. Like I would turn it all to the bride. Yes. Turn it all the bride.

That would be about it. All right. You get involved on a super fancy, you get invited, excuse me, on a super fancy vacation. But they accidentally think you're a billionaire. What's your fake backstory to stay on the trip? I mean, a billionaire? there you got somebody swallowed the Kool-Aid the wrong I mean really how do they accidentally think you're a billionaire because you know I don't get that how my fake backstory I honestly you know what I would

say I'd say the truth no you would you're faking it no no no I would oh I'd have a blast with this one I would say that uh my family uh were the owners and founders of Pillsbury flour and owned ranches of cattle and I managed it for a while but you know what I just decided I sold the actually my grandfather sold Pillsbury oh before it was even Pillsbury I mean you wouldn't even know it was just we owned it

I would go a whole convoluted story about everything I had and that now I'm just traveling the world having a blast and I would you know hold my diamond ring out to prove that I was a billionaire I'd have a blast doing that. I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it.

I'd probably tell them the truth, but I'm still coming. No, no, no, fake back story to stay on the trip. I'd be saying, I'd be saying, Susan, hurry up, think quick. We've got to stay on this trip. Susan, we're going, no, I've got to tell them the truth. I won the lottery. That's what I'd say. I won the lottery.

No, not as a billionaire, darling. Nobody's a billionaire winning the lottery. Trust and believe. I've come a full of the times. I have the luck. Yeah. Susan, I just, I want you to meet my friend Susan. She bought, this is Ripley's, believe it or not.

She bought 16 lottery tickets and she won them all. And each one was, yeah, no one's buying it. All right, here's the next one. Yeah. You discover your boss has a massive TikTok account where they reveal all the teeth from your office. What do you do? Hell, I watch it. I'm a comment on the page.

I would watch everything. And then I'd go to my boss and say, yo. No, I would watch everything called that explains why she and the teacher in room 46 took the same lunch period every day. Oh, I know what they were doing. Oh, I'd love it. I'd watch every better. All right. You're stuck in an elevator with your ex and your current situation, a relationship, a relationship.

Who do you talk to first and what's the first thing you say? oh boy look at us well first of all one of you are going to get me out of here let's go oh no you know what I would say what they say two's company and three's the crowd and here we are that's exactly what I would say

that would be hysterical no that's exactly what I would say all right you wake up to find you went viral overnight for something you don't even remember doing And let me just say, Susan, the person was probably drunk and there's no excuse for it because alcohol is no excuse. However, what's your fake PR statement? That's because you don't get drunk.

My fake PR statement? Because I went viral overnight. For something you don't remember doing. Wow. Never thought this would happen. No, no, no. No, no. It went viral for something you don't remember doing like pulling your pants down.

in the subway in New York City. Why? I wouldn't have do that. If you were drunk, you might not saying you were drunk. You wake up to fine, you went viral. Well, if you don't remember it, you have a sudden case of amnesia. You know, you were high

on something, Susan. My fake PR statement would say. Well, was you being embarrassed by the thing that went viral? Like, I'm thinking it's something good. Go viral. Yeah, baby. Check it out. And I mean what I say, and I Say what I mean.

And you don't remember what the hell you did. Well, you're going to watch it, obviously. I own it. If it's not a bad thing. Oh, but if it's a bad thing. Well, you have a good point. If it was a bad thing that I would call, I'd have to think about it. I mean, I used to do PR.

So you don't damage control is something you have to think through carefully. You never shoot from the hip. So my fake PR statement would be fabulous, but I would take the time to think and construct a very good statement before I learned that from you to pause before I yeah when someone asked you something and the and the answer really matters yes just think so Susan is it ever okay to get drunk and say whatever's on your mind no because I don't get drunk you didn't think and pause well because I don't oh it's a wrong question for me because I don't get drunk ever can I just To tell everyone, if you want to send Susan a birthday present or Christian brother.

Yeah, Grand Marnier, I've seen her on the beach and say, Martin, you lie like a rug, Susan. But it's not drunk to where I don't know what I'm doing. And I remember every minute, I've never had like that blackout drunk, but they say, yeah. Uh-huh. Okay. Thank God. 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.

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. I'm Jemell Hill, host of 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 Spolitics on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. All right. The next one says your Uber drivers start sobbing and asked you for dating advice.

first piece of advice. You know, we would both tell them. My first piece of advice would be, you know what? Cry today and tomorrow get up and start the search for the person who's going to love you for the wonderful person you are. And time heals. No, stop saying that. Time doesn't always heal. That's a stupid. It does too. Really? Yeah. Time heals. No, stop crying in time. Yes. It doesn't mean it's ever going to feel good, but time helps you move on. I'm just feeling sorry for the Uber driver who saw me. I know, me too. I want to help who is.

The poor guy. Call us. We'll help you Uber driver. All right. You're, oh, interesting one here. You're accused of stealing a priceless piece of jewelry from an acquaintances house during their party. But you're completely innocent. What's your plan to clear your name?

it depends who's accusing I mean give me a lie detector's test if you have to I did not do this I would never but there are words I mean I get it

well I think it depends if it's a policeman you know if it's if it's the law the long hand of the law accusing you but if a friend if I accuse

well acquaintance an acquaintance so you know I probably would if it were me again believe it or not Susan I do not like

confrontation you know that i don't i would probably yeah but people know who does oh i how long a list do you want really they like confrontation i know so many people who like who look for it really oh yeah and they love it they love to have a couple of my neighbors down the street here they love it they look for oh yeah but i would honestly if it were me and it was an acquaintance i would call them or send them a note and say it came to my attention that or if she or he accused me directly I would say I am so sorry that you lost that whatever but I'm here to tell you I didn't do it and I don't appreciate being accused of it and then I would let it go and if you know that's I you know less is more say your truth and it would probably have to be have been in someone's bedroom and and you can

prove that you were never left to go in someone's bedroom I mean I just think once you start saying, well, wait a minute, you know, it was in your bedroom. I didn't go in your bedroom. It's like too much. Just simply state the truth and move on. All right. You're asked to give a toast at a stranger's wedding because you're mistaken for a guest. What do you say? Oh, I'd do that in a heartbeat. I wish that would happen to me. I get up and say, how about this couple?

I would probably talk about a make a toast to them. I'd talk about the way they look. I'd talk about the people at the wedding. The beautiful ceremony they have. Or I would talk about, you know, everything there and what love means. And then at the end I would say, you know, what marriage means, like the generic things that you hear for a wedding toast. And that I would say, I'd roll and say one of my quotes. Yeah, I would say, you know, we hold these truths to be self-evident, not only in the Constitution, but at wedding receptions.

Kathy, can you imagine the bride and groom looking at you? Like, who the hell is she? It's the stuff of a Hollywood movie. I would love it. I would love to write it. I would love to recite it. I do it a minute. We will role play at its best.

I love it. All right. Someone loudly starts a rumor about you in public, but it's somehow flattering. What's the rumor? How do you react? Okay. Here, I'll give it to you. Susan, I heard that Susan Knowles had a complete, complete, complete.

facelift and had her hair had a hair transplant that's how she has this beautiful thick hair that's that's flattering how would i react she looks so much younger i'm so happy you all think this is true i'm so happy i didn't but if you want to believe that thank you there you go i would accept it and say why thank you so much only you know the old expression a hairdresser never A surgeon never tells. But thank you so much. Thank you for telling me I look 29. I've worked really hard to look like this.

So thank you. There you go. Kathy, they're going to tell you how skinny you are. Everybody does. Everybody does. Yeah, well, let me just tell you, I look like Mr. Potato Head. Can I just tell you?

I have skinny arms and skinny legs. It's what's in the middle that gets me. We all have that. That's being over 60. I mean, and I still wear a bikini. so if they want to say negative things god bless them i can't i i've never won i told you this i've never worn a bikini susan i know you told me i can't even imagine now now it's just i think i look worse than a one piece than i do in a bikini well that's because you're used to seen yourself in a bikini

yeah and i like my tummy tan so that it's an illusion of less i like to walk around like this with my arm straight up in the air and smooth it all right i mean seriously i look you know the reels on Instagram. It'll say like how to model, how to stand to hide your stomach. I mean, I'm sitting there standing on an angle, one leg behind the other, sucking my stomach in, tilting my head. It's like, Jesus, take the picture already. And that's the thing. You can't suck in in a two piece because you can tell. And like the skin gets weird. It's like, oh, my trust to believe me. I'm just going to let it out. Just be me. Yeah, but your skin is not, we've had this conversation. My skin, I look like a sharpay. Oh, please. I do. And we're going to wrap it up.

Now, Cal, I don't want to wrap it up. That was enough for that. So, Kat, from the viewers and our fans and the questions that were sent in today, what do you make, like, what one sticks out in your mind? For me, it was the 10-year-olds. I mean, I can't stop thinking about it. I know for you, my guess for you, is going to be the father-in-law that wants to get out of there with the daughter-in-law. but the 10-year-old really, I feel so bad that the little girl should not be upset.

She was embarrassed, I think. I just think it points out, you know, I know, that was sad for me. I just think it points to the fact that we as mothers, sometimes we go overboard on defending our kids. So, but I'll tell you the one that spoke to me is the travel one because friends, it just sounds like a miserable situation. And I kept reading it thinking, you know, the kids are probably friends, the kid, because, you know, they're both young. But I just thought she feels guilty about putting an end to a trip that is probably miserable for her, right? And expensive, Susan. I mean, do you want to go.

If you're not having fun, it's torture. Like, yeah, if you can only do one vacation and that's it, by then. And the other, so that, what that made me think of in general is we spend so much of our life. life. We spend so much of our time either trying to do the right thing, feeling guilty about doing the wrong thing or the right thing. Like, I just wish that we all could step back, think what makes sense, what is logical, and realize that, you know what? It's just like not every kid gets a medal. Sometimes people's feelings are going to get hurt. Yes. I agree. Sometimes that's just life, right? And sometimes,

our kids are going to get hurt. Sometimes, you know, life is not all positive in roses. It definitely is not. Oh, it is for you. Come on. You're getting the tan. No, no, I always get the guilt and feel bad for people. Yeah, no.

Well, it's called. I thought the questions were great today. I know. And people, please keep setting them in, right? It's just, I wish people would comment on the answers we give because I know, I know. Maybe there's something we're not thinking about, you know? Yeah, well, it's just bringing it back to us.

Yeah. All right, well, this really was a lot of fun. We thank our listeners for joining us today. We thank those of you who wrote in. We hope more if you do so. Absolutely, because that's what we're here for. You know us. And ask some more about the dating things.

Like, we want to know how the first date went up into the 10th date and why you chose to continue or not. Right. Right? Are you saying 10 dates? Yeah. And sometimes they figure out by 10 dates, like, yeah, this isn't the one. I heard you, 10 dates?

Five. One. Some people really are attracted to one another and they go on a bunch of dates and they're having fun and then you really learn about somebody and you decide like, maybe not. All right, well, people, they got to let us know. They got to let us know. Absolutely. All right.

again. 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. Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That seems inappropriate.
