This is an I-Heart podcast. I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? Answer, a new podcast called Wisecrack, where a comedian finds himself at the center of a chilling true crime story. Does anyone know what show they've come to see? It's a story. It's about the scariest night of my life. This is Wisecrack, available now.

No chemo, no radiation, none of that. On a recent episode of Culture Raises Us podcast, I sat down with Warren Campbell, Grammy-winning producer, pastor, and music executive to talk about the beats, the business, and the legacy behind some of the biggest names in gospel, R&B, and hip-hop. Professionally, I started at Deadwell Records. From Mary Mary to Jennifer Hudson, we get in.

and we're so excited to be here. Here we go again, Kat. How are you doing today, Susan? I'm great. Thanks. Okay, so I don't know. If you haven't listened out there to our episodes, we have had so much fun answering your questions. You really need to check them out.

We've been having some great questions. They missed a good one. Oh, my gosh. That's stupid game. That's stupid game. For those of you, if you're missing Susan playing moral quandary, you have no idea what you're missing. So anyway, we love giving advice. Keep those questions coming.

All right, Kathy, I know you're still up there at your sister's house. Are you loving life? Have you played any golf? I played golf before I left. Haven't played golf here because I didn't bring my clubs, but I've been helping my sister. We're doing a lot of gardening because, you know, at my home, I only have container gardening, but here she has a beautiful garden. We painted the sign.

And did I receive any pictures of this garden yet? Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sitting here thinking, what is the first thing I need to do? Send Susan pictures of the garden. Okay, I'll get right on that. No, I like digging in the dirt. Come on.

You like getting the dirt, Susan. You like getting the dirt, not digging in it. That's why I have an ice pack on my back right now. Oh, what happened to your back? Wait, what happened to your back? Well, digging in the garden. I can't bend over anymore. Anybody out there dealing with this?

I mean, I can't even tie my shoes without sitting down. This is ridiculous. I pulled something. I went to a chiropractor. I'm going back again. I got ice on it. I can't sit for a long time. Like, what did I do?

You and I are about to go to California. Listen, as we get older, everybody out there, I'm sure feels that when you get to be a certain age, your legs, you don't pop out of bed. You and I've talked about this and I've talked about it on my Instagram. You've got to just get up and move. I stop getting out of bed, Kath. I was bent over doing the things I like to do. The garden. Oh, I thought you were talking about something else.

Oh my God, please. Okay, we're going to move along. And we're going to answer more of our fan questions. Don't you love doing this? I love it. I love it. I really feel like we help some people, don't you? I feel like we give some. How about the one we had the other day, though, with a woman, poor woman, perfect relationship. They love to cook and eat. And then she had a brain surgery out of nowhere. She can't swallow. I felt so bad for her. I think her name was Maggie. Maggie, let us know how you're feeling. Yeah, we're still thinking about you. Yeah, we are. All right, well, if you, if you have a question, please send them in, even if you don't have a question, send in a comment. All you have to do

is go to bachelornation.com slash golden hour. And I repeat, bachelornation.com slash golden hour. That's where you find us. All right, then. Now, before we get into those questions, let's get started with Kathy? Question of the day. All right. Here it is. How do you kindly tell a friend or a boyfriend an outfit, makeup, or hairstyle is unflattering on them. Depends on who it is. Wait, am I supposed to guess what you'd say? This isn't it, right? This is not a moral quandary. I get confused. This is just your opinion, Susan. And so a friend or a boyfriend, first of all, those are two. different people in my book. If it's me, you're going to say, get that ugly outfit off and

curl your hair. I would say, cat, never wear that again. And friends? My daughter has said that to me. But you know what? If you're a real friend, if you really don't think something flat or somebody, you should be honest. I mean, you wouldn't be ignorant about it. So I think a friend is very different. I think a friend, you can say exactly that. But I think with a boyfriend, You've got to be a little more careful. And I do. I agree with the careful, but do you want him to wear that again? Okay.

Now Kathy's getting honest. I'm going to say boyfriend, Sam, Joe, whatever your name is, you're not seriously think you're leaving the house in that shirt to you. Go change. You're not going anywhere in that. Oh, boy. Gosh. No, absolutely.

I think most people would. Or the ones that really don't like you, won't. Because they want you to look bad. oh come on really by the way susan susan by the way not my world take off that shirt it's ugly on you it is not it's cute just god i'm just kidding just kidding all right then beth we're going to start with our questions okay go hi kathy and susan i really need your help i think my boyfriend is in love with our best friend i've been with my current boyfriend for six years and in the past year it feels like all do is fight and every time we fight he always goes running to our best friend for comfort and

support we originally met through this best friend so we each had our own relationship with them however it feels like they've been phasing me out for a while it's really hard to explain but i just get the sense that they enjoy oh boy each other's time way more than either of them enjoy their time with me anymore. I'm so afraid to bring it up because I honestly don't want it to be true. The only kind of proof I have is how close they are. They hang out without me all the time. In scenarios where I should be my boyfriend's plus one, he brings our best friend instead. No one in our friend group has mentioned anything to me, but I can just constantly feel eyes on me. What should I do?

So, to me, there's so much being said that's not being said. I think, I don't know why, but I feel like Beth is probably scared, shitless to be alone. Because the indications are, after six years they're not married they're not haven't moved in together they haven't declared you know that they are whatever i mean it just seems like they've been together you mean like she's just hanging on to them to have somebody yep that's what i'm feeling that's what my intuition is telling me um you don't you know sometimes beth the proof is not someone telling you straight up hey i got a thing for our best friend the proof is what you see day to day and And so if you're feeling that way, it doesn't sound like you really trust him and maybe with

good cause. Either one of them. Yeah, either one of them, but maybe with good cause. And I think you need to look at yourself and see if this relationship has maybe run its course. What do you think, Susan? I kind of feel like something's going on. I feel she's afraid to ask questions because she doesn't want to know the truth. That's right. As far as the group hasn't mentioned anything, but she feels eyes, that could go.

Either way, that could be you're overthinking something, or they all know. I mean, I know that's no help to you. Or it could be like what you and I say. It's not our job. It's not my job, Beth, to tell you something that is not my business, even though I may feel sorry for you. I may feel like it's horrible what they're doing, if they're actually doing it. But sometimes you just have to read the room.

You have to see what is. And go with your intuition. That's usually my sign. and I fight it. I'm fighting it, as you know, was something that I'm going to do in the future. And something doesn't feel right about it. So I got to dig in deeper.

I do. I'm sorry. That's a yucky feeling. It is a yucky feeling. But you and I are older and we have the confidence to know that we can survive this. This girl, Beth, it sounds like you're really afraid to let go of something. Yeah, but you know what? Let go of something good and new can't come into your life if you're holding

on to something bad that isn't good in your life. Where'd you get that? Where'd you get that? I don't know. I think I learned it playing moral quandary with Susan. Whatever. Go on, Kathy. Next.

Good luck to you, Beth. That would let us know how it works out. But definitely look into this and be you. Believe yourself. Your intuition is usually. Yeah, it truly is. I never envision being. with a woman. I'll just be honest.

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.

I have a 12-year-old daughter who I absolutely. door. As a mother, I'm starting to really get anxious about the world around her. I really want to encourage her to be strong, but I don't want her to fear or oppose the world, new people, etc. I feel like it's so easy for mothers to either smother their daughters and make everything

sound scary, and I really don't want to do that. I remember being a preteen and just turning out everything, tuning out everything my mom said because she was always so anxious when she tried to tell me about sex, being safe while being out with friends and so on. I want to be a smart parent that keeps her daughter safe without being a helicopter parent. I know there's no perfect solution or go-to right way to say everything, but I'm at a total loss. Any ideas on how to prepare her for high school, finding her style, going through puberty, navigating crushes, etc. I'll take any advice. My husband is also eager for any pointers, L.O.L. Love you both. You know, I used to feel a certain way as well, but they don't come with a book of rules

and how to do this. Be there for them, suggest you can only guide them the best that you know how. You can't be a helicopter mom. It's just, you can't. They have to experience things. You've got to be there to support them, to pick up the pieces when the first love breaks their heart or the first crush, if you will. There's so many times that I just wanted, when they were mean to my daughter in school. We talked about this a couple episodes ago where they became friends and left you out. Remember, Kathy? Yes, I do.

And you feel so bad for your daughter. You want to, but you can't fix the world. You prepare them for the world. But you know what I'm hearing here? I think anonymous, she says she tuned out everything her mother said. This woman is dealing in, you know, what do I want to say, extremes. She says, I don't want to make everything sound scary, and I don't want to smother her. Anonymous, there's a whole lot of land, a whole lot of real estate between those two options.

And I think because you tuned out everything, your mom said, you're worried your daughter's going to tune out everything you say. And I think, could be. I mean, you know what the best way? is listen, this is something I didn't do as well as I should have phrasing my kids, but listening, have opportunities for your daughter to talk to you. And instead of telling her what she should think or how she should behave, let her talk to you about what's going on. See how she feels, yes, let it out.

Kathy, that was very good advice. Thank you, Susan. I did that so well, I did that so well that my daughter used to tell me things I wish she didn't. You know, I got, yeah. But I just, I do think Anonymous, you're, you're probably carrying a little bit of baggage from your childhood. Life is not all scary. And like Susan said, you can't protect your children from everything out there. It's, it's a give and take. And you know what, Anonymous? You're going to make mistakes. You have made mistakes. And your daughter is going to make mistakes. Just be there. The best thing you can do is be there for her and make sure she knows that you and her dad love her. and that she can come to you. That's the best you can hope for. Yeah. And I love the fact that you're worried about it

and you're trying so hard to be a good mom. Yeah. I mean, that's great. But mom, Susan, you made mistakes I did. Oh, absolutely. Being a good mom is not being a perfect mom because there is no such thing. No such thing.

So there you have it. Well, thank you for writing it and we wish you luck. Just do you, just love her. Yeah. And you know what? Let us know how she's going because, by the way, High school, having been an educator myself, high school is where a lot of changes happen. Middle school is brutal.

High school. Middle school is brutal. Kids tend to find themselves in high school. It takes a while. The end of high school, the later part, the second half. But preparing them, you know what? I don't know about you, Susan, but I had to, I remember I had to let my kids make some mistakes, even though I knew, right? didn't you, you knew, like, oh, this is not going to turn out well.

Not like, I didn't tell, you know, I didn't watch them jump off the Empire State Building. Daddy, you still let me make mistakes that aren't going to turn out well. I mean, hey, listen, you want to stop making mistakes? Give me, give me the time to tell you how to stop. I'm happy to do that. Hey, guess what time it is, Kathy? You know what? It's time for moral quandary.

No, it isn't. It's time for truth or drink. My favorite game. Kathy's very favorite. Did you fill up your cup, buttercup? I do not have my golden hour cup with me, but I have found a wine glass. Fair enough. Fair enough.

It carries the wine perfectly. So ready? Here we go. You want to do the first one? Sure. What would you do differently if you could go back and redo your time on the golden bachelor? Susan, not only am I going to answer this question, I'm going to drink after I answer the question. And the only thing I would do differently, I think, is just spend a little more time, you know, getting in Gary's face so he could see what I was really like.

I was going to say, I wouldn't do anything different. Yes, you would. No. You'd have me in the cake with you jumping out. Okay, I'm drinking the best. Cheers on that one. Cheers, cheers. Cheers.

Cheers. All right. Oh, who has been your favorite podcast guest? I've had a few favorites, but the first one that comes to mine are Christina and Brayden. I just love them. You know what? I'm going to drink because I am not stupid. I want all of them to come back and be a guest.

And the minute you say one, they're going to, hey, what about me? I know. I'm drinking on that one, Susan, never, never pick favorites unless you're picking me. It was just a fun one. Okay. I take it back. I'll drink. There you go.

Drink. Who is your dream guest to have on the podcast? Oh, let's play, let's play guessing game here. You want Chris Jenner. I do. Okay. My dream guest. I'm going to drink again.

By the way, apparently we were on the Kardashian show. Oh, yes, we were. Yes, we were. But it was sending us to me. Let's drink to that. Let's drink to being on their show. All right. To being on the Kardashians.

Cheers. all right oh okay okay of all oh no i'm just going to say to you just drink don't even answer this question of all the women who do you wish you got to know better on the golden bachelor none of them i got to know every one of them yeah i mean i got to but yeah got to know them all but and there's nobody i've got to know and we've all got to know them we've all got to know them but we've gotten to know them better since we're off the show but susan who did you like best of All the women. You want to drink on that one?

You want to tell me? Susan's gulping. You can't see her. Kathy, it's you. Kathy, it's you. You know what? A little too late. A little too late there, Susan.

A little too late. All right, Katz, who do you think is the hottest guy out of Jen's men? You know what? We're over 50. We're over 50. We're over 60. They're kids. I mean, they're adorable.

You know, it's funny when the first night, I like one person. I kind of like Marcus. Second week, I like the other person. The third week, yeah, Marcus is about it. There's a couple of cuties on there. You know what? I don't like focusing on that because that goes against everything you and I talk about, which is on the inside.

But when you're that age, when you're that age, if you're not hot, you're not. You want to hear something funny? Somebody asked me, and this was being recorded, by the way. what was the worst moment I had officiating and what was the best moment I had officiating, or the most embarrassing or whatever. Do you know how I had to answer it? I had to tell the truth. Kathy, I brought two different shoes to do a wedding.

I was so humiliated. They were both pointy, towed in the front, but one heel was like, you had to see me up there. It was hysterical. I don't know where that just came from. Take a gulp. You need to drink. Okay. What is the...

That's what got me, the dumbest thing. I never envisioned being with a woman. I'll just be honest. I'm Jamel Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Politics.

It's just my excuse, friends. Who needs an excuse? It's after noon. It's after five somewhere. When my husband was in the military and we lived in Scotland and I was the youngest military officer's wife, the youngest.

It was 20 years old. Is this the dumbest thing you did in your 20s? Yes, dumbest thing ever. Dumb, stupid, call it anything you want. I was at an officer's wife's party, you know, after no tea. This is back in the days when they had teas and all this time. Anyway, we're sitting there and the Commodore's wife. So in time of war, my husband was at the end of the Vietnam War.

You had captains, then you had a Commodore, and then you had an admiral. Okay, so we're at the top of the food chain here. There was Commodore on aboard the ship. And his wife don't remember her name. But, you know, at the time, she looked really old to me. She had curly gray hair. I'm sure she was like 45. No, I see it coming.

Yep. And here I am. Everybody, I'd been married like five months and they're all saying, you know, because I was young. I was 20 years old. So we were talking about different things in the military and I looked at her. Let's call her Susan. I said, Susan, what was it like before you were old in the Navy? No, you could.

I did. I thought you were going to say she was his mom or something. No, but I, you could hear a pin drop because you had. understand that this her husband's was about to make admirable the high and everyone stopped and I remember I turned beat red and I said I didn't mean old I meant senior I meant and they were like just I went wait so I go home and I told my husband he wasn't there no it was a wives party a tea a luncheon I got home and I said Daryl I really screwed up today I blew it I and he said what did you because he knew me he goes what did you do and I told him he goes oh god i'm going to be thrown out of the navy before i even make lieutenant j g it was

Then drink. I'm sorry. Then drink. I'm drinking. What's one thing you don't know about me, but you should. I couldn't wait to read that. Ooh. Wait, what's one thing you don't know about me? But you should. I'm drinking. Hey, I want an answer. How would you answer that?

I don't, okay. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I know everything about you. Do you know about the date I had last week? You liar. What about you? What are you going to tell me something I don't know about you? I think you know everything about me.

Did you know I bought a car? Yes, you told me that yesterday. On the phone? Yeah, can I just say friends? With a driver? So let me just tell you, Nancy is buying a car for her daughter, helping her daughter by a car. Nancy's called me because I bought a lot of cars in my lifetime. And so Nancy's called me and asked me some questions.

And she goes, oh, thanks, Kathy. That's so helpful. Nancy's so lovely and her daughter is. So I was so happy to help them. Susan, on the other hand. At midnight last night. I was in my car. I had known the other night and I called this guy and I bought a car from him.

I'm like, are you for real? That's not what it was. I was being driven home from New York or all the way. You called a guy and you bought a car. Am I getting that wrong? I bought a car over the phone. It's all. I bought a car off the phone.

I hope it's not been in the accident. Did you confirm that? I checked it all out, Kath. I did my homework, but you'll like it. I'll pick you up in it when you get here. All right. What's something you admire about me? Where's that?

You better not drink. I admire your friendship. Oh. You're true blue. Yeah. You're pain in the ass a lot. And I have to holler sometimes. But I do admire that.

You don't can make me cry. You're in, you're in. What's something I admire? Do you admire about me? I admire that you always, you're the girl that has the party and wants everybody there and makes everybody feel the party is not complete until they're there. It no matter who it is. Am I right?

Yeah. All right. Cheers to that. Wait, who do you think would make an amazing golden bachelor? I don't know. Neither. Personally, I don't know. I know enough single bachelors

Bradley Oh he's not golden Sorry sorry Sorry Brad He might be taken I don't even know I don't know okay What

Wait a minute What's something you admire About me God I told you I told you About how you make everyone feel at the party That wasn't the question Yes it was It was

It was that they should know. Oh, boy. Do you want to answer that one? I know that. Yeah, you have a heart at gold. No, about you. Thank you money. It is because they think your delivery is a little long.

Can I just say thank you? But she means well. She means. I am a nice person. I hate that some people think I mean. You don't have to say it. I say that, Kath. Oh, okay.

Don't defend yourself. I'm defending yourself. You're loved, Kathy. Don't ever think differently. All right. What is, I appreciate that, dear friend. what about you what's something about you they should know I'm gonna have a book

huh maybe they should know how you know that I think they know I have big heart but the empathy and the I'm more sensitive than I appear that's what it is I'm way more sensitive than anybody you are she is and so am I

you and I that's one thing we share in common but you know what else I'm going to tell the world that they don't know about you. Tell me if I'm wrong, I'm not. I buy cars while driving. No, you are very, Susan does have a heart of gold. We do share that in common. But one thing I don't think people know about you is you are very, very strong-willed. Am I right?

You don't think the world knows that? No, I don't think they do. She is very strong-willed. And sometimes it's your way or the highway. Am I right? There you go. But I still love you. I'll die trying.
