5
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:23.039
It's a science. There are biological
pieces to love, psychological pieces, and

6
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:27.239
social pieces. I'm a psychology professor, but I write about the science of

00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:31.719
love because I am obsessed with it. On today's show, we are going

8
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:35.679

11
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:47.399
talking about red flags that we often
normalize, like we find ways to go

12
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.679
you know what, that's the reason
why they did that? Is this so

13
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.960
actually they do like me and they
are a good partner. But no,

14
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.600
no, no, I will be

18
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.560
we get going, we need to
do a little role call because producer Kayla

19
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.319
is not here. We have producer
Christina. How are you hello, I'm

20
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.000
excellent. It's nice to see another
face there. Yes. And then on

21
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.079
my TV screen, I see Raoul
You're on the board. You're gonna count

22
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:32.640
down for me because you know,
I talk and I rattle and I go

23
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:34.879
on. I got to Wendy and
there's a new face in the newsroom,

24
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.760
Courtney Adaman. How are you?
Yes, Hi, I'm doing good.

25
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.680
How are you welcome to KF I
am six forty. Thank you. I'm

26
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:44.680
happy to be here. Is this
really your first day? I've been training,

27
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.400
but this is my first like official
shift, doing it on my own

28
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.239
lion solo. Yep. Well,
don't you worry. We're all here to

29
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.040
support you. And if I do
talk about anything that interests you, you

30
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.640
can just pipe on right in.
You're welcome to throw in there. All

31
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.519
right. So I'm sitting here today
feeling a little bit stiff and store and

32
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:01.879
I'll tell you what happened. So
this morning, after I prepped my show.

33
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.519
My boyfriend Julio said, what do
you want to do today. Let's

34
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:07.039
just go to the gym. And
I said, well, we have a

35
00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:10.599
few things to pick up at the
grocery store. Why don't we walk there?

36
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.599
And he goes, Honey, I
think it's like three miles on the

37
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:16.360
one oh one, like we're going
to cross the freeway. And I said,

38
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:20.680
I think there's a fire road that
goes along beside it. I go

39
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.599
out there and I put on my
Lulu lemons and I didn't bring a hat,

40
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:28.159
and because I thought it was cool, cool day, and carried a

41
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.360
little water bottle and we start walking, and then I started opening the old

42
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.719
all Trails app and I said something, I think this way, I think

43
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:37.280
there's anyway. What I didn't plan
on the fact is that there were up

44
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:40.000
hills, big uphills, a few
downhills, more up hills, and that

45
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:44.000
it did get hot, it did
get dry, and by the time we

46
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:47.080
got to the mall, we had
walked six miles. Apparently on foot is

47
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:53.199
longer than a car six miles.
And then we had to grit grocery sto

48
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.800
shop and so I had the stuff. I sat my butt down and I

49
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.960
just said, get me an uber. I'm not walking six home, So

50
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:05.840
I am going to be sore tomorrow. I can feel it all right.

51
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:07.879
So that's my day. But last
night, before we went to sleep,

52
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.280
we watched this new series and I
was prompted to watch it. I'll tell

53
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.319
you by who in a minute called
the Supermodels on Apple TV? Did you

54
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:20.360
see that one yet? It's just
about beautiful women. I have not but

55
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.919
beautiful women, Christina. I'm always
down for watching beautiful women. So in

56
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:28.280
the nineteen eighties, Naomi Campbell,
Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, and Christy

57
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:35.960
Turlington basically were the fashion icons.
So this documentary series tells how they changed

58
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:39.400
the industry, how they became supermodels, and it was by uniting right and

59
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:45.240
getting them together. So the reason
why I was prompted to watch it is

60
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:51.479
one of the supermodels, Linda Evangelista, actually had married. I think he

61
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.039
was like the president or CEO of
Elite Europe at one point. And if

62
00:03:55.080 --> 00:04:00.599
you followed me, and if you
know where I'm going with this, you

63
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.719
will know what I'm about to say. She married my rapist, the man

64
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:10.080
who raped me as a teenager when
I was a model. And we have

65
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.759
a group of women who pinned me. We call ourselves the Victorious Angels.

66
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.839
Victorious Angels, and there are a
group of survivors who all found each other

67
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:25.680
thanks to the Internet and a few
reporters. And this man is still out

68
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:30.120
there. He was often I heard
it was reported he was funded by Jeffrey

69
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:35.160
Epstein. His partner, Jean Luc
Brunel, another French agent, died at

70
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:42.759
his own hand in a Paris jail
cell last year. This dude is in

71
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.720
Spain and he hasn't been extradited to
France yet. We have a female lawyer

72
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.399
working on things. But the reason
why I watched the series because the series

73
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:54.920
is real puff piece. It's not
like down and dirty about the modeling industry

74
00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:00.920
like it should be, because unfortunately, this kind of television makes young girls

75
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.480
go oooh ah, I want to
get into this industry. And this is

76
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:10.360
an industry of youth. It is
a highly unregulated industry. Young mothers with

77
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:15.000
stars in their eyes like my own
mother send them off on airplanes and private

78
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.199
jets. I mean, my mother
just let me fly to Paris the day

79
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:23.879
after high school graduation. I didn't
even speak French. And yeah, you

80
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.639
can blame the mother. Okay,
blame the mother, No, blame the

81
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.680
rapist. Because this man sat in
a cafe with my mother a few months

82
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.839
earlier, holding her hand and telling
her things like, oh my gosh,

83
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:38.000
I can tell where your daughter got
her looks from. You're so beautiful.

84
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:42.399
And I'm watching this man flirt with
my mother and I'm thinking, my little

85
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.480
seventeen year old stomach is going,
that's weird. My mother has a disfiguring

86
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.199
skin disease called lupus. No one's
ever talked to her that way, and

87
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:54.279
she was eating it up, and
he was saying, I'm going to take

88
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.240
care of your daughter. Everything's going
to be wonderful, etc. Anyway,

89
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.839
so the gals from Victorious angel pinged
me and said watch the series. I'm

90
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:04.639
only on segment too. You know
how they divide it all up and you

91
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:10.759
gotta wait. And apparently Linda Evangelista, so when we came out as a

92
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:15.079
group a year ago and did a
lot of media talking about this having happened,

93
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.199
she put out a statement, they're
divorced now. She put out a

94
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:23.519
statement saying, I knew nothing about
the abuse that my husband was doing,

95
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:27.000
but basically I wouldn't put it past
him like it's not surprising, But she

96
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.439
didn't say anything else. Well,
apparently in this Apple TV series she says

97
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.519
that she was also abused by him
as a young woman. So I can't

98
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:36.800
wait to get to that to find
out. I do want to say,

99
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:40.920
Although the series is about Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, and

100
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:45.879
Christy Turlington, all lovely, beautiful, smart women, they forgot to include

101
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.639
a lot of other women. Claudia
Schifferd, Tyra Banks, Stephanie Seymour,

102
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:56.000
Christie Brinkley, Sheryl Ts, Tatiana
Patitz who sadly Tatiana died of breast cancer

103
00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:00.720
this year, el McPherson, Helena
Christensen, Kate mossm for all those names,

104
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:02.439
right, they're all supermodels too,
definitely, But I bet it was

105
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.759
the budget that Apple TV had that
they were kind of like, you know,

106
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.480
we can only afford to pay these
four women. They're going to ask

107
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.000
for the most, so let's do
that. Anyway, It's interesting if you

108
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.920
want to see beautiful women and you
want to live back through the eighties and

109
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.480
nineties, that there it is.
So when we come back, I do

110
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:25.639
want to talk about the Golden Bachelor
that's coming out starting this Thursday. I'm

111
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:29.439
much excited about it. But if
you have been following me on my social

112
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.000
media, the handle I'm just gonna
throw it out there is at doctor Wendy

113
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.879
Walsh. You know that I went
through a period where I was posting every

114
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:36.639
day, sometimes twice a day,
some is three times a day. And

115
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:41.279
if you've been following me more than
a million and a half followers across four

116
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:45.040
social media platforms, you know that
I haven't posted a video all summer long.

117
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:47.839
I'm in an identity crisis. I
don't know who I am, but

118
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:51.079
I will say this, since I've
been doing a social media dtox, I

119
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:56.560
am much happier, but I feel
guilty. Like so this week I posted

120
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:59.680
a little video on TikTok where I
basically said, hey, has anybody else

121
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.399
ever been kind of an identity crisis. I'm in this transition where I'm,

122
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.720
you know, doing my jobs,
but I'm building another thing on the side,

123
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:11.279
and it's exciting to me and I'm
and I got so much love and

124
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:13.639
support, and I just want to
thank anybody who saw that TikTok video and

125
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.920
commented is I literally laid in bed
one morning before the sun came up,

126
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.199
scrolling through the comments, and I
had a tear in my eye, and

127
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:28.040
I was reminded that there are real
people out there on social media who say

128
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.480
very kind things. I was guess
I was so used to the trolls.

129
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.960
You know, they're in the minority. Yeah, so maybe maybe I should

130
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.759
go through my identity crisis. They
said, why call it a crisis,

131
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.919
It's just a transition. Why I
should go through my identity crisis on the

132
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.039
TikTok or on the Instagram or whatever
and just sort of talk to people about

133
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.360
it and get their feedback and find
out what they're going through. Because I

134
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.600
found out a lot of people it's
a state of the age. I don't

135
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.799
know if you've noticed, Christina.
You haven't known me for many years,

136
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.840
but for many, many, many
years, I always had that news anchor

137
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.159
Bob hair to my show that just
would not grow whatever. And now I

138
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.360
have longer hair than I had in
middle school. And I say that when

139
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.919
I when I actually figure out who
I am, I'll get the right haircut

140
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.799
that matches it. But I remember
one of my professors when I was in

141
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:18.399
psychology school said that a hair change
is the biggest indication of personality change and

142
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.240
identity change. Yeah, so I
dyed my hair dark brown when I had

143
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:26.600
my first baby because I want everybody
to know I am not your light fluffy

144
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:28.840
blonde. I am a mother now. Plus I wanted to match my kid.

145
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.519
Okay, when we come back,
let's talk about the Golden Bachelor and

146
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.320
your relationships. We are. You

00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:00.279
and I have to tell you the
funniest story. Okay, So during

152
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.000
the pandemic, you know, there's
three lost years. Yeah, I get

153
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.879
a call from an ex boyfriend who
lives in Miami and he was a boyfriend

154
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.559
like you know, I don't know, thirty years ago or something. And

155
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.440
he was much older than me,
because every twenty seventh year old and needs

156
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:20.639
a forty year old boyfriend with money. And he told me that he was

157
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.200
auditioning for the Golden Bachelor, and
I'm like, what, he goes,

158
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.759
yeah, yeah, they came to
Miami and I figured I would be great

159
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.519
and got it up. But anyway, he didn't hear back, or it

160
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:33.600
all got put on hold because of
the pandemic. They didn't think it would

161
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.879
be great for older people to be
in hot tubs with each other during the

162
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:43.200
pandemic idea it was disproportionately affecting people
over the age of sixty five, right,

163
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:48.679
So it all got on hold,
and now it is finally happening.

164
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:56.039
ABC's famous franchise, The Bachelor is
launching The Golden Bachelor. It premiers this

165
00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:01.639
Thursday night on ABC. So it
made me say, like why, like

166
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:07.159
why is ABC skewing old? Well, it turns out nobody's watching TV anymore

167
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:13.000
except people over the age of sixty
Did you know that? Like, literally

168
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:18.759
everybody's watching streamers. I mean,
I am of a certain age, but

169
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.360
I don't know how to find a
regular TV channel. I don't. I

170
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.080
only know how to get to those
streamers, and you know my way.

171
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.960
So Christina, let me tell you
this. I come from a generation that

172
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:33.840
when we wanted to watch our show
we put it on our calendar and we

173
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.080
would go and sit there at the
time, just like ABC does and NBC

174
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.399
and CBS and whatever, and then
we would have this appointment television and then

175
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:45.279
when it was time to watch it, we would go to our box and

176
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.039
we would turn it on. That's
it, right, We might have to

177
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.840
turn the dial to one of three
channels or whatever. Anyway, So now

178
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.360
I cannot operate any technology in my
house without my twenty year old there.

179
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.679
So the way that I watch a
show now is I go to the Internet,

180
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:05.919
just like we did a few minutes
ago. Christina on the break told

181
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.799
me there's this really good series called
The Dark Side of the Nineties that has

182
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:13.320
an episode about modeling, because we
were talking about modeling. So I go

183
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.720
to Google and I write the Dark
Side of the Nineties and it got to

184
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.279
the production company Vice TV, and
then I go like, where to watch

185
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.240
now, it's not just on my
TV. And then I go to the

186
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.200
passwords. I go, do I
have a password for that streamer? And

187
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.279
what is that password? So I
know it will take me ten minutes,

188
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.840
no twenty five minutes to find that
show, but I will do it.

189
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.399
I will do it well. Apparently
many other people over the age of sixty

190
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.720
will not go through that. They
want to still have their appointment and go

191
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.679
to their TV. And many people
will be doing that. So I know

192
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.120
that I don't have to go on
Thursday night to ABC because it will air

193
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:54.919
somewhere else afterwards. Right, we
should google that for our people because we

194
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:56.320
have young, hip people listening to
us, and they're not going to have

195
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:01.200
an appointment on Thursday night, So
ask ask the internet how to watch the

196
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.799
Golden Bachelor after Thursday because it will
air somewhere afterwards. I'm on it,

197
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:11.360
okay, all right. It's also
an important demo because these people are watching

198
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:16.360
TV. I got it. Now. Here's what you should know about dating

199
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.080
and single people. According to Pew
Research, the youngest and oldest Americans are

200
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:24.759
most likely to be single. Forty
one percent of people aged eighteen to twenty

201
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:30.320
nine are single, and thirty six
of the thirty six percent of people over

202
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:33.879
the sixty five are single. But
there's a big gender gap. Here's what

203
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.720
you should know that forty nine percent
of that's fifty percent. Let's say half

204
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:45.279
the women over sixty five are single, whereas only thirty six percent of men

205
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:46.919
are single. Now you're going like, how is that possible, because aren't

206
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.480
there the same numb No, they
died, Okay, the guys died.

207
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.679
That's what happened. And so as
a result, you get left with all

208
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.000
these single women. Now, there's
a big difference, according to the research,

209
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:05.559
in people who say they're sing and
people who want a relationship, because

210
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:09.600
there are a lot of women who
are very happy now right their husband,

211
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.320
who they loved and cared for and
whatever has passed away. There's research to

212
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.159
show that women do better after divorce
or loss than men do. And they've

213
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:20.799
got his pension, and they've got
his house, and they've got their girlfriends

214
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:24.960
and their book club and their garden
club and they're good, right, But

215
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:28.039
apparently they are also twenty two women
on the Golden Bachelor. All right,

216
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.919
So this Bachelor season is going to
have the regular stuff, physical contest,

217
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.519
moonlit dinners scenes and hot tubs.
I don't know if I want to see

218
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.759
this, and those roads ceremonies,
and yes, there will also be the

219
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:46.240
fantasy suites. Now, my boyfriend
Hulio said today, what's a fantasy suite?

220
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.320
I said, honey, you need
to watch the Bachelor. Okay,

221
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.159
at the very end, when the
dude picks his last three, he gets

222
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.879
to go into a private suite with
them and spend the night and hook up

223
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:01.840
with them. Do you think that's
gonna oh my, just the thought of

224
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:05.799
it out of the sight of prime
cameras. Well. I looked it up

225
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.720
because I was concerned, does everybody
have sex on the Bachelor if you're one

226
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.159
of the final three? Turns out? There have been a total of three

227
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.559
hundred and thirty five contestants that have
entered the Bachelor mansion that's the beginning,

228
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.679
and only seven have openly said that
they did not have sex in the fantasy

229
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:28.440
suite. Oh now, some were
virgins, Okay, so they were waiting

230
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:30.720
for These are people who are twenty
five, twenty eight years old. They're

231
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.159
waiting for marriage. One woman,
I like her. She didn't accept the

232
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.399
invitation because she wanted to model good
behavior for her daughters. I like that.

233
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.639
It's a good idea. But now
we have a bachelor, Gary Turner,

234
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:46.600
who's seventy two years old. Is
he going to go and hook up

235
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.039
with these women in the fant I
don't know. I don't know. Okay,

236
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.799
let's meet Gary Turner. He's a
retired restaurant her, a doting father,

237
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:58.200
a grandfather. He lives in his
dream house on a beautiful lake in

238
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:03.679
Indiana. However, six years ago, he and his wife Tony, they

239
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:06.799
were tired. They bought their dream
house on this beautiful lake, but soon

240
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:11.559
after moving in, things did not
go as planned. Three years of a

241
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.720
beautiful love the love your life,
Tony or high school sweetheart. I'm a

242
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:18.679
relatively newly married guy myself. Oh
wait, wait, wait, that's not

243
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:21.879
what I wanted to hear. There
was another. Did you get the one

244
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:23.080
before that? I didn't do it
in Red's you missed it, probably,

245
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:26.720
okay, so let me tell you. I'm just having you stop for a

246
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:32.600
second roll. So the sound that
we missed is him crying literally on camera

247
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:37.039
about how his wife became suddenly ill, got a bacterial infection and died so

248
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.960
like as soon as they moved into
their retirement house. And he's literally like

249
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.759
showing real emotion on camera. That's
amazing. He said it was the closeness

250
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:48.399
of his two daughters, his young
adult granddaughters. There's four women around him.

251
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.000
They got him out of his dark
place. So then they did this

252
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:56.879
promotional show where the host of The
Bachelor, Jesse Palmer asked him this,

253
00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:00.200
where'd come beautiful love, the love
of your life to your high school sweetheart.

254
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:06.160
I'm a relatively newly married guy myself. I'm going to be picking your

255
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:07.880
brain throughout this entire thing. Do
you have any advice for people out there

256
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:12.400
that are looking for a long lasting, happy marriage? Jesse? If there's

257
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:18.200
if there's one thing only that I
would tell you or anyone else, it's

258
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.000
like, look at your spouse every
day and tell them you love them,

259
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.880
because the day comes too soon for
one of you that you can't do that.

260
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:33.799
And I would give anything to be
able to do that one more time.

261
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:36.640
All Right, when we come back, let's meet the twenty two women

262
00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:40.880
vying to meet Gary. You're listening
to doctor Wendy Welsh showing KFI AM six

263
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:45.200
forty. We're live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio apps. You're listening to kf I

264
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.559
AM six forty on demand. Kf
I AM six forty. You've got doctor

265
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:52.599
Wendy Walsh. Would you that share? And that's the song they're using for

266
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.799
The Golden Bachelor that airs on Thursday
on ABC. At what time, Christina?

267
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:02.319
I don't time, but I know
where you can watch it after where's

268
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:06.119
that? If after it premiere is
on Thursday, then it'll stream the next

269
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.359
day on Hulu Hulu. Okay,
that means I got to find out my

270
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.920
password or something. Yes, does
Julio have Hulu? Julio might have Hulo

271
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:15.160
Hulu. I might have Hulu.
My daughter might have Hulu. Somebody will

272
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.799
have a password for me because I'm
gonna watch it. That's it. Okay.

273
00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:22.720
So the Golden Bachelor, as I
said, the Bachelor, Gary Turner

274
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:27.160
is seventy one years old when they
taped it, a retired restaurateur. He's

275
00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:34.759
now seventy two. We'll be meeting
twenty two female contestants aged sixty to seventy

276
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:38.880
five. Now. They have careers
in education, real estate, finance.

277
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:45.759
Some of them even were former cheerleaders
or did competitive aerobics. They come from

278
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.960
all over the country, because you
know ABC's national, they want to cover

279
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:56.279
the country from Tennessee to New York
to Miami. Their musical tastes run from

280
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.119
you know, classical music to Harry
Styles and one of them even attended the

281
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:04.640
Real Beatles concert. And they do
have names like Edith and Joan and Peggy.

282
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:07.240
What's wrong with that. That's what
I say. What is wrong with

283
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:11.480
that? As I mentioned, there
are twenty two women who will be on

284
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:18.720
the Golden Bachelor. They range an
age from sixty to seventy five years old.

285
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.920
Hi, I'm Peggy. I'm sixty
nine years old. Leslie, I'm

286
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:26.240
sixty four, Maria, I'm Susan. I'm Joe, I'm so good.

287
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:29.799
I'm Christina, I'm Faith, I'm
Sandra. I'm seventy five years old.

288
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:40.720
Love Now, I've been ready for
a long time. People have a mental

289
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:44.359
picture of what a seventy three old
person is and what they look like,

290
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:49.279
which is not me. There's no
ton It's a good time for us to

291
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.440
realize in these golden years that we
have a lot of life to live.

292
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:57.960
I am sixty six and my heart
is wide open, live life out loud.

293
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:02.359
We're still we have a lot of
zest for life. You know,

294
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:04.799
I don't watch anything with old people
on it because I don't want to get

295
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:11.039
old. Well, the contestant who
said that, by the way, looking

296
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:15.400
at her face, has visited some
plastic surgery offices to make sure that she

297
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:21.480
doesn't. Those are some fine looking
ladies. They all look gorgeous. A

298
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:25.480
little tip for Gary. By the
way, did you notice the range of

299
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:27.119
voices. Some of those still had
high voices and some of them had low

300
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:33.559
voices. Yeah, there's hormones behind
that. So when a woman's voice goes

301
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.400
deeper, it's her loss of estrogen. And there is some correlation between a

302
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.440
decline and estrogen and decline and sex
drive. So Gary's going to pick the

303
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:44.680
one with the high SWO. You
know they did this study I think I

304
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.240
featured on one of my podcasts,
ones out of UCLA, where they simply

305
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.039
asked men to talk on the phone
to women and all the women said it

306
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:53.880
was UCLA study. All they said
is hi, I'm a UCLA student.

307
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:59.519
And they had to say which voice
sounded hot or not. And then they

308
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:03.920
all so looked at their Oh this
was ovulation, right, They looked at

309
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:08.319
their cycle and where they were,
and the guys unknowingly picked women who are

310
00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:11.400
ovulating. That's fascinating, they said. Oh, they didn't know why they

311
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.920
spo but I'll tell you that the
high are your voice, and the high

312
00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:19.400
are your voice, the more estrogen
you have. Just say, I'm always

313
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:22.960
amazed. All right, let me
come back. Let's talk a little more

314
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:29.319
about how to find love over fifty
if you're not on the Golden Bachelor,

315
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:33.960
and also some dating behaviors that are
red flags you should look out for.

316
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:37.000
You're listening to the Doctor Wendy Walls
Show and kf I Am six forty with

317
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:42.440
Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
You're listening to kf I Am sixty on

318
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:47.079
demand. Okay, kf I Am
six forty. You have Doctor Wendy Walsh

319
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:48.960
with you, and this is the
Doctor Wendy Walsh Show. I would like

320
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.960
to welcome my Instagram listeners if you
would like to come on into the studio

321
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:57.640
visually, just open your Instagram app
and look for doctor Wendy Walsh and there

322
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:00.960
you'll be here with us. I
do want to say this both to the

323
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:06.240
Instagram listeners, though, you should
download the iHeart Radio app because when I

324
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:08.799
start taking listener calls in a few
minutes, you won't be able to hear

325
00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:12.559
the question. So unless you're listening
on the iHeartRadio app. All right,

326
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:17.599
we are talking a little bit about
the twenty two women who we are going

327
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:22.000
to meet on Thursday night on ABC
with The Golden Bachelor, ranging an age

328
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:27.039
from sixty to seventy five. But
I will say this, they all look

329
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:32.200
really young for their age. It's
not the end of your life. There's

330
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.640
so many more things to do.
I love to travel the Bahamas of my

331
00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:38.319
favorite I love dance. I also
flight to kayak. I love pilates.

332
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:41.279
I love to play pickle ball.
I like to play pickle ball, pick

333
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:44.680
a ball, pick a ball.
I love pick a ball. I bought

334
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:49.839
my pickle ball with me. I
hope Gary is ready for it. Yeah,

335
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:52.400
I guess we're going to see a
lot of pickle ball on the Golden

336
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:57.799
Bachelor. Listen. I mentioned earlier
that when a woman's voice gets lower,

337
00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:06.519
it's indicative of reduction in estrogen,
and sometimes that's correlated with a decrease in

338
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:12.400
libido, orgasm, or frequency of
coit is, but some menopausal women get

339
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:18.079
an improved sex drive when they have
a new partner. So maybe Gary will

340
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:21.759
be lucky. I think the bigger
question though, for these twenty two women

341
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:27.400
is are they willing to go to
Indiana and move there because he's already got

342
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:30.720
his retirement house on a lake in
Indiana? And what if you're from like

343
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:37.039
Chicago or Miami or New York or
LA and you've got connections friends, family,

344
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:41.039
grand kids. Are you really at
that age going to pick up and

345
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:47.440
move off to Indiana? But maybe
bachelor Gary, because of the limelight that

346
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:49.680
he's in, might be liking the
La life and maybe he'll move to a

347
00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:53.039
more urban area. I don't know, all right, I do want to

348
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:59.000
say this, if you are over
the age of fifty, you should get

349
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:02.680
on those dating apps. Is the
fastest growing group of people on dating apps.

350
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:06.559
One in six Americans over fifties say
they have been on a dating app.

351
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:10.799
According to the research, the apps
they're using. People always ask me

352
00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:12.480
what apps? What apps? I
always say the apps are pretty much all

353
00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:15.400
the same. Just don't lie on
them and be truthful and you'll find what

354
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:19.559
you're looking for. It's like going
to like different nightclubs and restaurants. It's

355
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:22.599
often the same people you see at
the same one. Same with the apps.

356
00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:29.839
Let's see, nineteen percent of online
daters over fifties say they've used Tinder.

357
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.400
Wow. Well, I'll say this. Older people don't use it as

358
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:36.279
the hook up app. Of course
they don't. Maybe some of them do,

359
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:41.759
and but they're more likely to use
Okay Cupid because that's where they do.

360
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:45.799
The psychological profile of you and you
have to answer a lot of questions.

361
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:48.920
It takes twenty minutes to make your
profile answer those questions, and they

362
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:53.079
also use Bumble. Also, they're
also more likely to usematch dot Com.

363
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:57.839
I met my boyfriend on Bumble.
It's not an advertisement for Bumble, just

364
00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:03.519
saying that's where I met. So
if you do get on those dating apps,

365
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:06.759
and if you are starting to date, I want to talk about a

366
00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:12.200
few dating behaviors that sometimes we normalize
and we rationalize and we find ways of

367
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:17.359
forgiving. But I'm here to tell
you that some of those things are not

368
00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:22.920
okay, so they're actually problematic behavior. So let's go through a few of

369
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:29.200
them. The first one is ignoring
boundaries. I always say when you first

370
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:33.119
date somebody, you should give them
the teeniest, tiniest boundary just to see

371
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:38.079
if they respect it. Your boundary
might be you know a lot of people

372
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:41.839
call me Kate, but I really
prefer Catherine. And if he says,

373
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.720
yeah, but I like Kate better, I'm gonna call you Kate. That's

374
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:49.079
boundary violation right there, tiny little
thing. If you say to somebody,

375
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:52.960
hey, I'm not a big texture, I'd prefer if you called and they

376
00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:57.319
still continue to text you. That's
a boundary violation. You've been very clear

377
00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:03.680
about who you are and want you
want, and sometimes people plow right through

378
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:07.839
your boundaries and you interpret it as
passion, like, well, they really

379
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.160
wanted to see me and they must
be really interesting interested in me. No,

380
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:17.160
they're testing you to see how much
they can get away with. Here's

381
00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:21.000
another one. In the early stages
of dating, or at any time really

382
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:26.559
in a relationship, if you're arguing
constantly, if your whole relationship is about

383
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:32.400
a fight and then great makeup sex, that is not passion. That is

384
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:37.640
a very unhealthy relationship. I think
it was last week a listener wrote in

385
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:40.759
and said something like, you know, we fight all the time, but

386
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:44.759
we're bickering all the time, and
it's been three years. When is it

387
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:48.440
going to stop. It doesn't stop
because you petered out. You've now set

388
00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:52.200
up a system. This is the
system, right, So until you learn

389
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.319
good conflict resolution skills, it's going
to continue. And it's not healthy.

390
00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:02.359
Jealousy and posiveness. Some people think, oh, they're really into me,

391
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:07.039
they're so jealous that I'm going there
with my girlfriends, and or they're stalking

392
00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:10.200
me. Well they'll call it stalking. They just showed up to surprise me.

393
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:17.279
Yeah, just showed up to surprise
you. Now that's control, and

394
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:22.680
that's stalking, and that's jealousy,
and that's possessiveness, and that could go

395
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:32.000
down a slippery slope into terrible things. Okay, So how about falling in

396
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:34.480
love too quickly, too fast,
where you're talking every single day and texting

397
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:37.119
every single day and it's the first
few weeks that you met stop it.

398
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.079
Okay, that's called codependency. You
see, we all have to learn at

399
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:45.200
the beginning of a relationship to stay
in the land of unknowing, not knowing

400
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.000
where it's going or what is going
to be. And that can last a

401
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:52.680
few weeks, a few months where
you're not quite sure you should be able

402
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:57.119
to contain yourself. I always just
say wait and see, let them reveal

403
00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:04.240
who they are. How about making
big, huge sacrifices for somebody, now

404
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:10.839
stay with me. Relationships are about
a compromise. Relationships are about sacrifice.

405
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:14.200
Yes, you want to test somebody
a little bit to see if they will

406
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:18.920
put you first in the early stages
of dating. But big things like leaving

407
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:21.720
their job in the city they live
in to move to your city and you've

408
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:26.160
only known each other three months.
Stop hold your horses. That is way

409
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:33.960
too fast. Do not romanticize the
idea of making really big sacrifices and that

410
00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:38.799
that's a sign of love. No, that's a sign of low self esteem

411
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:42.640
somebody who thinks you're more important than
there. Take care of yourself first.

412
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:45.000
I want to say that. All
right, when we come back, I

413
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.039
will take your calls. I'll be
answering some of your social media questions.

414
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:53.119
The number is one eight hundred five
two zero one KFI. That's one eight

415
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:57.119
hundred five two zero one five three
four. Just a reminder, I'm a

416
00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:00.799
psychology professor, not a therapist.
This is Wendy's wisdom. If you want

417
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:04.640
Auntie Wendy to weigh in, I'll
be happy to weigh in on your love

418
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:10.440
life. One eight hundred five two
zero one five three four. You are
