<v Speaker 3>good present. What is the best Father's Day present?

<v Speaker 3>Here?

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 4>Being with me on Father's Day it is probably the

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:45.920
<v Speaker 4>best present.

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm actually feeling good.

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 2>He's really all right. Well, let's let's dive straight into

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 2>it because we're a dating podcast here, so we want

0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:00.360
<v Speaker 2>to talk about your dating history as well as anna

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 2>dating history and what your history.

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.079
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't expecting that draw.

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Well see where it goes, but and what your opinion

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.360
<v Speaker 2>on Anna's dating history has been. So, how did you

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 2>feel when Anna started dating?

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.400
<v Speaker 4>Nervous Detective.

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Did you put any rules in of what age she

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 2>could start dating or were you just like, go out

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 2>of your own thing?

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.799
<v Speaker 5>We did, but she wanted to negotiate when we said

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 5>twenty five, so we moved it back down to twenty one.

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 4>Still, she was seventeen seventeen eighteen, if I.

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Remember right, But you were quite strict growing up.

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 4>We were strict.

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>I think there was a rule, wasn't there She couldn't

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 2>date while she was studying or am I.

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that was the plan? That was the rule. Wasn't

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 4>always said that a.

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Bit of a rebel. Things didn't always go to plan.

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 4>She's pretty good.

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Did you out going on dates or sneaking out?

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 5>No, it was just the old ones where all the

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 5>girls told someone else they were staying at someone else's house.

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 4>When you folded it out, you could never just there

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 4>was a bit of that going on.

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Why do we think the parents never clicked on to that.

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 2>It's so obvious as well when you think, yeah.

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know there was.

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 3>There was definitely a couple of times where I said

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.279
<v Speaker 3>I was staying at friends houses and we would go

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:18.159
<v Speaker 3>out clubbing and my parents didn't know about it. But

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean it only happened like twice, So I feel

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 3>like in general I was actually very good.

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 1>And I think it was because.

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.160
<v Speaker 3>They were so strict that like even just doing a

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.720
<v Speaker 3>little bit felt like really bad and like really naughty,

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 3>like I was really doing the wrong thing, so like

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.800
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't going like full ham at the club every weekend.

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Were you as strict on Chris as you were with

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Anna or by that point were you just like we.

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 5>Were kind of strict, but I think Anna encouraged him. Well,

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.359
<v Speaker 5>she used to take him out.

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 1>So I was a bad influence, was.

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 5>Trying to bring Chris because she would take him out.

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 3>It's also like I reckon, Like when you're the first child,

0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 3>you have to break your parents in.

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 2>You reckon Like I was the oldest in the first

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 2>as well.

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like you have to you have to feel like

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.719
<v Speaker 3>you have to set the standard. And I set the standard.

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 3>And like Christopher and my brother, he just got an

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 3>easy run through.

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, family, I got it well as strict as my

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 2>parents could have been there. We were with me and

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.720
<v Speaker 2>now with Emma. She she's the ruler of the house.

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 2>She's a matriarch.

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 3>But Emma, his younger sister, is so mature, like she's eighteen,

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 3>eighteen eighteen, and like I mean sometimes she seems a

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 3>bit more mature than you now.

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Well growing up she if she did anything immature, Lara

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 2>and me were like straight onto her for it. Yeah,

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 2>giving her a hard time.

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 1>And it's good.

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.840
<v Speaker 3>It's worked because she's like she's unreal, Like I think

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 3>she's amazing.

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she is a great girl. So there were there

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:50.679
<v Speaker 2>were no ground rules set for Anna. She had to be.

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, we Actually we went everywhere together, didn't we. Yeah,

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:57.159
<v Speaker 5>we went over together, we went for dinner together.

0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.240
<v Speaker 1>We traveled together.

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.919
<v Speaker 3>Side of it, I was constantly on family holidays and

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 3>all my friends around, my friends and another. But I like,

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm obviously very grateful for it now looking back, like

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:16.279
<v Speaker 3>it was amazing and that's why I'm a daddy's girl.

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.719
<v Speaker 1>Well, I've always been a daddy's girl, that's true.

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 2>So would you say you're closer with your dad then

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 2>than you?

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.719
<v Speaker 3>I think that me and my dad are very similar

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 3>personality wise, wouldn't we say?

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I think so, And I think.

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.360
<v Speaker 3>That's why we click and bond more because I think

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 3>like he can probably see a little bit of himself

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.880
<v Speaker 3>is always rebelliousself in me, and I kind of like

0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.840
<v Speaker 3>look up to him, and I think, like, you're very

0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 3>successful and that's inspiring to me.

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.360
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I think we respect one another.

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's nice. So would your mum be closer with

0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:51.840
<v Speaker 2>your brother than you?

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:58.040
<v Speaker 3>Reckon, I'd say so, would you, although you're quite close

0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:00.720
<v Speaker 3>with my brother as well as both of us.

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 5>This was my best Yeah, I was just when you

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 5>said we were very somewhow it reminded of the time

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.200
<v Speaker 5>when we had an argument.

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 4>You're about seventeen.

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh god, don't tell the story.

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 4>I think we drove. I think we drove around the

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 4>car for three hours.

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 5>I don't know what it was about, but it was

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 5>about something about taking the car or doing something, or

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 5>she hadn't understudies.

0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.360
<v Speaker 4>You take the car and we both and I jumped

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 4>in the car.

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:36.400
<v Speaker 3>He said to me, he said to me, I'm taking

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 3>the car off of you.

0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>I said, no, you're not, and I'm going to stay

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:39.920
<v Speaker 1>in here all day.

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 3>And it was just like this Mexican standoff where we

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 3>both sat in the car for like three hours.

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we started driving and for three hours in the car.

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Given would you say you get your stubborn side away

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 2>from your old man? Yes?

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, but in fairness, so imagine us like we're both

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 3>like in the car and then my dad all of

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 3>a sudden goes, should we go get a drink? He's like,

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.320
<v Speaker 3>He's like, I'm stubborn, but I need a beer at

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:08.800
<v Speaker 3>this point.

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 4>Too much three hours of arguing.

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 3>The thing is is like, it's all good and well

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 3>to have an argument with someone else, but you were

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.320
<v Speaker 3>arguing against yourself because I am here.

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.560
<v Speaker 4>But I didn't give him you never give him, but

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:22.239
<v Speaker 4>we settled on I'm.

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Just too much pressure and well, Anna's stubborn side will

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 2>be the vein of my existence.

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 1>You're as well.

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:37.079
<v Speaker 3>We're on a table here with three very stubborn people.

0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I guess all right, Well let's dive into what

0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 2>have you thought of Anna's previous boyfriends? Is there any

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.199
<v Speaker 2>that stand out to you that you've gone an absolute

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.040
<v Speaker 2>twat or any that you've gone you know what I mean?

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 2>You had to sit from afar and let Anna realize

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:53.640
<v Speaker 2>that this wasn't the one.

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 4>I felt if I did that was that she probably rebel.

0:08:57.840 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so you can't really so I didn't.

0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:03.120
<v Speaker 5>Want to say he's really bad because which you would

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 5>have rebelled. But there's some odd ones, not that it's

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 5>really three people are remember, but Michael's top of the

0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:13.160
<v Speaker 5>tree is doing well.

0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 4>He's Michael. He's good.

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 2>So what are your thoughts on Michael? Then?

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 4>I think it's a good bloke. I think he's intelligence.

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.320
<v Speaker 5>I think he's he looks after Anna, which is the

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 5>most important thing. And he has a common influence on

0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.880
<v Speaker 5>which is Anna, which is hard to do. There's some

0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:31.679
<v Speaker 5>previous boyfriend.

0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 4>It was just explosions so it did no name. So

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 4>he's quite charming in that way.

0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 5>He's quite charming in that way. So I think it's good.

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 5>I think I think it's great.

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 4>I like him, Yeah, I like him.

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 3>It's so true, Like I feel like when you're around

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:55.439
<v Speaker 3>different personalities, like you can really clash before someone can

0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.840
<v Speaker 3>really have a positive impact on you. And I think

0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.079
<v Speaker 3>that was one of the reasons where I really it

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 3>was like Michael is like it for me, Like he

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.680
<v Speaker 3>is amazing because even with like little things that I

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 3>would normally be like a bit like agitated or aggy about,

0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 3>Michael just has such a soothing influence on me. And

0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:13.560
<v Speaker 3>I think that's one of the reasons why I do

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:14.719
<v Speaker 3>love him so much.

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 2>I think that's something that you need to look for

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.320
<v Speaker 2>in a partner as well, someone that like finds, like

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 2>understands your quirks and instead of antagonizing it and making

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.679
<v Speaker 2>it worse. And like I like to say to Jen,

0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 2>when you're in a spiral, because you and me both

0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:30.360
<v Speaker 2>spiral very very bad, not to like add to the

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 2>spiral and make it go quicker, to rip you out

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 2>and be like you've been in a fuckhead, like come

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 2>back to reality.

0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, let's put two feet on the ground and let's.

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Just get grounded and understand what's going on.

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:41.079
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely.

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Look, I've got to admit, if I'm ever blessed enough

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 2>to have a daughter, I think one of the hardest

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.320
<v Speaker 2>things would be them dating. I reckon watching them go

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 2>out and you know, your precious little girl going out

0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.040
<v Speaker 2>and into the big bad world and dating. It would

0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.640
<v Speaker 2>be really confronting and hard. So bit of respect for that.

0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:59.560
<v Speaker 5>I'm watching that smack on your face, But that's because

0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 5>you know what you all like. That's that's a that's

0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.760
<v Speaker 5>a bit of guilt factor. It's called right.

0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:12.960
<v Speaker 2>I was literally about to say, mate, I am I've

0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 2>said that a lot.

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, is that a thing? Dad?

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.640
<v Speaker 4>Well, I don't know. I think.

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.880
<v Speaker 5>Quick to answer your question, I think with that and

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:26.679
<v Speaker 5>she's very strong and yeah, I was actually more worried

0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 5>about Chris when he was going I was not the

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.120
<v Speaker 5>decent side of the board going to the club and scene.

0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I was moorried about him than because I was.

0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 2>I think my mom. Yeah, my mum was the exact

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.080
<v Speaker 2>same like with me and my sister. She knew that,

0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.679
<v Speaker 2>like they're strong, independent women and that I sort of

0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:44.720
<v Speaker 2>have a mouth me and I have said this before.

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Chris and myself, I think have a lot of common

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.679
<v Speaker 2>in that sort of way. I don't want to call

0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Chris out or anything, but have taken a while to mature. Yeah,

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 2>and that like we've learned the hard way and through

0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 2>life lessons and that.

0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:57.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I think.

0:11:58.320 --> 0:11:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, My mum was the same. She was worried about

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:01.600
<v Speaker 2>me going out more than my sister.

0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Which is so interesting. Hey, like you that you worry

0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 1>more about like a son.

0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 3>But I guess if like you have a daughter who

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:13.439
<v Speaker 3>is a strong woman, exactly right.

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.680
<v Speaker 2>But then, like you know, other people weren't brought up

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:18.000
<v Speaker 2>the same way as us, So that's what you're going

0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.319
<v Speaker 2>to be more worried about, you know, which brings me

0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.200
<v Speaker 2>to my next point. You've done a very good job

0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 2>at raising Anna. I mean I did say that a

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:30.840
<v Speaker 2>stubbornness is annoying, but we worked through it. We come

0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:31.600
<v Speaker 2>out the other end.

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Don't make out like we work through it. From my sub.

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 2>We've come out the other end quite well.

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 3>You know how you asked my dad a question before

0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 3>about like guys that I've dated that are bad. I

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 3>actually just thought of his story and it actually makes

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 3>me laugh so much. It's actually probably one of my

0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 3>funniest stories of you. And it was when my dad

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.680
<v Speaker 3>picked me up from the airport and I was seeing

0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.640
<v Speaker 3>a guy at the time, and I was like, hey,

0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:01.760
<v Speaker 3>can we pick him up on the way because me

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:03.679
<v Speaker 3>and him are going to go out after my Dad's

0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 3>like okay, like if I have to.

0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.080
<v Speaker 1>He was out.

0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 3>He had been at the races all day, so he

0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:11.200
<v Speaker 3>was like a little bit drunk.

0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 2>A little bit drunk every day every day the race.

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.080
<v Speaker 3>And so we picked him up in the car and

0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.840
<v Speaker 3>then I'm going to throw it to you because do

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.199
<v Speaker 3>you remember what he said when he got in the car.

0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 5>This is the guy that we'd actually just previously in

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 5>the UK And we got the train from Glasgow to

0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:33.400
<v Speaker 5>Liverpool and you spoke to him all the way for

0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:35.839
<v Speaker 5>like three hours. You know, I'm thinking this guy must

0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:37.680
<v Speaker 5>be interesting if you speak to someone for three hours,

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:43.319
<v Speaker 5>like talking talking the phone anyway, use a long story sideways.

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:46.679
<v Speaker 5>What happens is says he wants to pick this guy up.

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:48.719
<v Speaker 5>He gets in the car, he's in the back of

0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:50.439
<v Speaker 5>the car. He did a few jakes, and I thought, well,

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.000
<v Speaker 5>we'll allow for that.

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 2>The races.

0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but this guy was like, your daughter is the

0:13:56.040 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 5>most beautiful girl. The wells she did, she can do this,

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 5>she could do everything. She's fantastic. You're so lucky that

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 5>that you brought this beautiful.

0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.840
<v Speaker 4>Girl as the world just going on and it was

0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 4>just too much. And in the end, I just said,

0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:11.280
<v Speaker 4>you're full of ship.

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 5>And I've never said that to anyone, never mind Anna's boyfriends.

0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 4>But he was really bad and it was it was painful.

0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 2>So what happened after this thing?

0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:25.680
<v Speaker 5>It was dead silence, laughed and then someone got a

0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 5>nervous laugh to take the heat out.

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 3>To Can you imagine your parents saying to someone you're seeing,

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 3>you're full of ship?

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Dad, you're a subtle as a brick.

0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 4>Well, I've never ever said that.

0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 3>You haven't actually said that to anyone, and I kind

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.040
<v Speaker 3>of understand where you were coming from, kind of. I

0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:48.600
<v Speaker 3>still think maybe it could have been a bit more

0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 3>subtle about there you're full of ship comments.

0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:57.360
<v Speaker 2>I remember when you first met over zoom Josh on

0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 2>my violence. Didn't you do that? I think to him, done, Yeah,

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 2>I remember that was quite Have you been intimidating then

0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.840
<v Speaker 2>to Anna's partners when she's brought him home, because that's

0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 2>too intimidating counters.

0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.040
<v Speaker 5>So maybe, yeah, maybe I'm just trying to weed them out,

0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:13.720
<v Speaker 5>but obviously not Diflent.

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:17.240
<v Speaker 1>We needn't weed out the ones.

0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 2>He's had a good job of yourself, all right, So

0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:23.720
<v Speaker 2>then if that didn't work to win you over, what

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.480
<v Speaker 2>would win you over? And found the one? But yes,

0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:28.760
<v Speaker 2>what would be some tips of people that are listening

0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:32.320
<v Speaker 2>and they want to win their partners father over, just.

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.880
<v Speaker 5>Be natural, bringing lots of gifts, not the wine known

0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:37.720
<v Speaker 5>again good wine of.

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.840
<v Speaker 4>Course, top shelf.

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 5>I think for me it's the fact if you forget

0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:48.160
<v Speaker 5>everything else Michaels, let yourself full of job and personality.

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:59.760
<v Speaker 6>I have to agree with that you It gives me

0:15:59.760 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 6>a lot.

0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, excives me.

0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.320
<v Speaker 5>But I think it's the most importantly the fact that

0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:08.000
<v Speaker 5>the way maker looks after Anna and calms it down

0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:09.440
<v Speaker 5>and keeps a ground.

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 2>The main point is just be good to the daughter

0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:13.240
<v Speaker 2>or the partner and then you.

0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah you think, I think, yeah, that should be part

0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 5>of the deal anyway, if you're not, if it's false,

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 5>it's what I reckon.

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Like you said, a father knows best, so they know

0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:24.800
<v Speaker 2>if their daughter or son is not happy in a

0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:26.720
<v Speaker 2>relationship like they can see through you.

0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Can see it a mile away.

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.600
<v Speaker 3>Like even with friends, Like you see your friends and

0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.320
<v Speaker 3>they're in toxic relationships and they're like, oh yeah, yeah,

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:34.000
<v Speaker 3>I really love them.

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I love them, but like you.

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 3>Know, ninety percent of the time they're like crying and

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.160
<v Speaker 3>having a meltdown in a terrible mood. Like it's not

0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:44.520
<v Speaker 3>hard to see someone who is in a bad relationship,

0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:46.960
<v Speaker 3>and it's not hard to see when someone's not making

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:47.600
<v Speaker 3>someone happy.

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.360
<v Speaker 2>You've got to look into their eyes. They could be smart,

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:53.520
<v Speaker 2>but their eyes they help me. Please.

0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:55.320
<v Speaker 1>That's it, all right.

0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.560
<v Speaker 2>So we've spoken a lot about Anna's dating history, so

0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:02.479
<v Speaker 2>after this, let's speak about yours.

0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, my dad is in the studio.

0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 3>He's just talked about how it has been for him

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:11.440
<v Speaker 3>dealing with having a daughter dating.

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 1>But what was your dating life like?

0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:18.960
<v Speaker 4>It was probably a bit like yours. Everyone else's boy

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 4>beats girl.

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Or yeah was it wild?

0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:27.320
<v Speaker 3>Was there toxic relationships before you met mum?

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Not really?

0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 4>A few relationships but nothing.

0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:32.800
<v Speaker 2>So you grew up where'd you grow up?

0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:33.080
<v Speaker 4>Again?

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:36.000
<v Speaker 1>In Liverpool and England you might hear from the accent.

0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 2>So what was it like over the dating road?

0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, No, it was just like anywhere else. There's no

0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:44.600
<v Speaker 5>difference in dating. You went to the pouview and the

0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:47.040
<v Speaker 5>night club. Actually usually where you met someone. There was

0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:52.399
<v Speaker 5>no apps, there was no phones. When I first met

0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:58.200
<v Speaker 5>your lovely mother over in a southern part of Spain, Yeah,

0:17:58.280 --> 0:17:59.359
<v Speaker 5>beautiful little village.

0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Were out the other day about meeting people on vacation.

0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:03.439
<v Speaker 2>So you go.

0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:09.000
<v Speaker 5>And the points get that was when we first started dating.

0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.080
<v Speaker 5>I had to go to a phone box and call

0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.840
<v Speaker 5>at a certain time with loads of coins. And sometimes

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:19.720
<v Speaker 5>when your granddad or your papa John a dancer, sometimes

0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:21.879
<v Speaker 5>you'd see she wasn't in, but she was in, and

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:25.840
<v Speaker 5>they had to send a letter, write a letter the

0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:28.119
<v Speaker 5>pen and paper, I assure you, I'll give you an

0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:31.399
<v Speaker 5>example of what though, if you've never seen what a

0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:33.560
<v Speaker 5>stamp on putting the postbox and used to get there

0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:35.200
<v Speaker 5>about four days later, that just.

0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:40.560
<v Speaker 3>Seems like so much effort, right, Like, obviously you're not

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.000
<v Speaker 3>dating people who you don't really like, because you're not

0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:46.280
<v Speaker 3>like looking like spending your coins at the phone box,

0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:48.960
<v Speaker 3>so you're not penning out a letter to someone who

0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:49.520
<v Speaker 3>you just like.

0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.080
<v Speaker 2>Maybe, like I feel like that's a definition of like

0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:55.240
<v Speaker 2>true love. Like I think that's lost on this generation. Absolutely,

0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:57.600
<v Speaker 2>so easy to ask, so extendable that we can just

0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:01.760
<v Speaker 2>message whenever, call ever and have that ability that you

0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:04.159
<v Speaker 2>forget how much hard work our parents put in.

0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:07.200
<v Speaker 3>Also my parents, like my dad's from England, my mom's

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:10.679
<v Speaker 3>from Scotland. So they met on holiday. But then obviously

0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.760
<v Speaker 3>they're living in like separate would you call it states

0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:16.440
<v Speaker 3>countries country?

0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, I'm thinking Australia.

0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:19.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, at least they're still in the same like they

0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:22.240
<v Speaker 2>are posts in the UK. My dad was in Australia

0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.159
<v Speaker 2>and my mum was in Bahrain. Wow, I had to

0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:26.200
<v Speaker 2>really make it work.

0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's a lot of coins.

0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:31.960
<v Speaker 4>And how did they go? How did they meet up

0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:32.119
<v Speaker 4>with it?

0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:34.879
<v Speaker 2>My mum was a flight attendant, so she was on

0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.880
<v Speaker 2>a stopover in Melbourne and she went to remember Bobby

0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.720
<v Speaker 2>McGhee's were you around here now? Okay, yeah, because you

0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:42.600
<v Speaker 2>guys came to Melbourne in like two thousand, didn't.

0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:43.480
<v Speaker 4>You eighteen years ago?

0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:44.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:47.240
<v Speaker 2>So they met at a nightclub and then my dad

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.200
<v Speaker 2>went home together and my dad, yeah, fell in love.

0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:52.119
<v Speaker 2>And I think this is why mum's version of that.

0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:54.439
<v Speaker 2>He was head over heels and just flew over to

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Bahrain and was like, You've got to come back with me,

0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:58.000
<v Speaker 2>live with me, all that sort of stuff.

0:19:58.160 --> 0:19:58.639
<v Speaker 1>Very cute.

0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I think, did you ever do that?

0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:04.240
<v Speaker 3>Or no?

0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:08.840
<v Speaker 5>I think I think Scotland was fine enough for me

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.120
<v Speaker 5>because I was living in London at the time, so yeah,

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:15.640
<v Speaker 5>it was, it was. And we used to meet for weekends,

0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:18.840
<v Speaker 5>so I'd go to Scotland, I'd get a drive up

0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:24.160
<v Speaker 5>sometimes sometimes I'd get a coach or the trade and

0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:26.120
<v Speaker 5>then sometimes we meet in Liverpool halfway.

0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 3>So we started having kind of like a long distance relationship.

0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:33.399
<v Speaker 3>How long did it take for it to turn into

0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:34.840
<v Speaker 3>you guys being together?

0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:36.080
<v Speaker 1>I guess I suppose.

0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:38.920
<v Speaker 5>I suppose the first you kind of know, the first

0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:41.000
<v Speaker 5>few months you kind of know and yeah, it's going

0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 5>to happen. And then within two years two and half years,

0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:46.159
<v Speaker 5>we were engaged and married.

0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:52.280
<v Speaker 4>So wow. And then you're after a little little a

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 4>little Chrystopher. Yeah, as kids usually a little true.

0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Naturally. Actually.

0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:04.639
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So it's Father's Day this weekend, so for all

0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:06.760
<v Speaker 3>of our listeners who are going to be doing some

0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:10.480
<v Speaker 3>last minute shopping, we thought we'd ask my dad, what

0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:13.080
<v Speaker 3>is a good Father's Day gift? Obviously before you did

0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:15.560
<v Speaker 3>touch on the fact that spending time with your dad

0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 3>is probably the best gift. But what is like a

0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:21.359
<v Speaker 3>physical gift that you can give your dad, that something

0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:23.840
<v Speaker 3>that maybe you would like and appreciate for ourselves.

0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:28.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so I can actually throw it up a level.

0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:31.600
<v Speaker 5>You can go for the buttl of Grange red wine,

0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:36.840
<v Speaker 5>no nu joke. So the what you got the last.

0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:41.880
<v Speaker 3>Year, Yes, was it like a track suit, the gray

0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:42.400
<v Speaker 3>track suit.

0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:45.520
<v Speaker 4>It was great because we've kind of in lockdown and it.

0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:49.000
<v Speaker 3>Was like oversized track suit, it's actually unreal.

0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:52.320
<v Speaker 4>And a pair of sheepskin slippers look slippers.

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's way.

0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.040
<v Speaker 2>Better than what I gave me and my sister's normally

0:21:56.080 --> 0:22:01.080
<v Speaker 2>right my dad, iou actually said us the other day,

0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:02.320
<v Speaker 2>please don't get.

0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:04.480
<v Speaker 4>Another let them all together.

0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're all stuck stage. But I also get him

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:09.760
<v Speaker 2>like because he loves Star Wars the same as I do.

0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:12.040
<v Speaker 2>So it's a cheap gag to get him a dart

0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Fader I am your father sort of or something solid.

0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:19.440
<v Speaker 3>Another idea is also to do kind of like an

0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:22.439
<v Speaker 3>experienced gift, so like maybe gold class tickets where you

0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:24.720
<v Speaker 3>can both go see a movie together and kind of

0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:26.159
<v Speaker 3>like hang out together.

0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Things like that where you can actually you reap.

0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:32.440
<v Speaker 2>The awards as well. Yeah, I mean why not?

0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:35.280
<v Speaker 4>I think that's right. Assure me where you do together

0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:37.720
<v Speaker 4>a ballue and ride or Blue Rise.

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:44.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna have to deep in the pocket this year.

0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:49.320
<v Speaker 2>No track suit. Yeah, well even for someone another thing

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:50.680
<v Speaker 2>that if you don't it doesn't have to be expensive

0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:52.399
<v Speaker 2>for that. Just cook him a nice you know, invite

0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:55.040
<v Speaker 2>him to your house, you know, write them a meaningful card,

0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:57.440
<v Speaker 2>or cook them breakfast in bed, something like that. Something

0:22:57.440 --> 0:22:59.240
<v Speaker 2>that's like has a bit more thought and a bit

0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:00.960
<v Speaker 2>more sentimental value in it as well.

0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I think I love that.

0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:05.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay, well, look we are going to talk all things

0:23:06.280 --> 0:23:09.679
<v Speaker 3>why we date people who are like our parents next?

0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So, and is it true that we date people

0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:17.879
<v Speaker 2>that are like our parents? Because I'm not show off

0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:20.400
<v Speaker 2>the bat that I look for quality in women when

0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 2>I was well, when I was dating that they needed

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:26.080
<v Speaker 2>to be very nurturing and mothering like my mum. So

0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:28.760
<v Speaker 2>I think there is some truth to that statement.

0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:32.800
<v Speaker 3>So people tend to be attracted to specific features that

0:23:32.880 --> 0:23:37.639
<v Speaker 3>resemble those of their opposite sex parent. Interestingly, Matt, a

0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:41.000
<v Speaker 3>sample of six hundred and ninety seven participants found that

0:23:41.040 --> 0:23:44.800
<v Speaker 3>men and women were both likely to have romantic partners

0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:48.119
<v Speaker 3>and opposite sex parents who have the same eye color

0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:51.399
<v Speaker 3>and hair color. Does Jen have the same eyes and

0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:52.560
<v Speaker 3>hair as your mum?

0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:56.080
<v Speaker 2>No, Jen has beautiful blue eyes, but her hair is brunette,

0:23:56.080 --> 0:23:57.840
<v Speaker 2>And that is equality. I look for my put. Do

0:23:57.920 --> 0:24:00.800
<v Speaker 2>you go for a brunette if you love a brunette, Well.

0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Michael doesn't really look like nothing.

0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:05.200
<v Speaker 4>That's the theory of the window.

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean they're both tall. You're how tall are you?

0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Six three? Six three? Michael six four?

0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:14.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean you both have brunette, but I mean the

0:24:14.520 --> 0:24:15.480
<v Speaker 3>eye color, and I.

0:24:15.400 --> 0:24:18.720
<v Speaker 5>Wouldn't say your dad's brunette gray.

0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:21.400
<v Speaker 1>You were brown at one point in the middle. We're

0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:22.200
<v Speaker 1>in the middle now.

0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:24.159
<v Speaker 4>About I look nothing lately.

0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:26.200
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to.

0:24:28.440 --> 0:24:28.640
<v Speaker 4>That.

0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:31.359
<v Speaker 2>That's well, that's Anna's main point that she looks for

0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:33.480
<v Speaker 2>in her guy is the high like we said, hit

0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:36.359
<v Speaker 2>on him multiple times. Sorry to all the short kings

0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:38.560
<v Speaker 2>that try.

0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:40.240
<v Speaker 1>But it's not just looks white.

0:24:40.280 --> 0:24:43.640
<v Speaker 3>So it also is a personality thing. So we look

0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:48.040
<v Speaker 3>for personality traits that are very similar to our opposite

0:24:48.080 --> 0:24:52.000
<v Speaker 3>sex parents. It's actually called imprinting. So we actually learned

0:24:52.040 --> 0:24:55.919
<v Speaker 3>to associate the traits of our caregibers with those of

0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:59.240
<v Speaker 3>a desirable mate. And I guess that's kind of just because,

0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:03.040
<v Speaker 3>like as a kid, our parents are people hopefully who

0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:05.840
<v Speaker 3>we can rely on and trust, and then we associate

0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:08.040
<v Speaker 3>that with someone who we potentially want to be with

0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:08.720
<v Speaker 3>long term.

0:25:08.840 --> 0:25:12.080
<v Speaker 2>So that definitely happened to me with the nurturing motherly

0:25:12.160 --> 0:25:14.800
<v Speaker 2>side of absolutely. Do you reckon it's happened to you

0:25:14.840 --> 0:25:15.560
<v Speaker 2>with your old man?

0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:20.040
<v Speaker 3>I think for sure, Like I think personality wise, Michael

0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:24.560
<v Speaker 3>and you are like the closest in personality I reckon

0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 3>that you've ever been to any boyfriend. There's been a

0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:30.760
<v Speaker 3>couple who have been similar to you personality wise.

0:25:31.200 --> 0:25:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Are those not so much? Okay, Well, look, I think.

0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:37.680
<v Speaker 3>It's that time of the show that we love. It's

0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:40.280
<v Speaker 3>time to find out where our heads are at.

0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:45.840
<v Speaker 2>It's our favorite time of the show again, it's called

0:25:45.880 --> 0:25:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Where's our Heads At? So we get you to ask

0:25:48.040 --> 0:25:50.080
<v Speaker 2>us where our heads are at, and we have our

0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:53.360
<v Speaker 2>special guests with us and as dad Brian. All Right,

0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:55.080
<v Speaker 2>so the first question Anna.

0:25:55.359 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Kerrie has written into us and said I don't

0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:01.919
<v Speaker 3>have the best real life relationship with my dad. We

0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:04.720
<v Speaker 3>don't have much in common, and I don't know how

0:26:04.760 --> 0:26:07.600
<v Speaker 3>to organize things for us to do together because he

0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:11.400
<v Speaker 3>is always busy, stress or tired. How can I improve

0:26:11.520 --> 0:26:12.640
<v Speaker 3>our relationship?

0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, I know that I didn't have the best relationship

0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:21.119
<v Speaker 2>with my old man growing up. We were two different

0:26:21.240 --> 0:26:23.080
<v Speaker 2>like we were just I will cut from different cloths.

0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:26.040
<v Speaker 2>He didn't understand me. But now we're actually good mates,

0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:27.879
<v Speaker 2>Like we'll chat on the phone now. And I think

0:26:28.640 --> 0:26:31.119
<v Speaker 2>I think it took both of us realizing that, like

0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:34.280
<v Speaker 2>he is Mike, I'm his son, he's my dad. And

0:26:34.320 --> 0:26:37.399
<v Speaker 2>I think as well, I saw a shift of the

0:26:37.440 --> 0:26:39.720
<v Speaker 2>relationship when I went on Love Island and he saw

0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:42.000
<v Speaker 2>me in a different line. I think he saw me

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:43.800
<v Speaker 2>from like that side of things and hell I got

0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:46.080
<v Speaker 2>to know you, yeah, and how like the world, how

0:26:46.080 --> 0:26:48.239
<v Speaker 2>the world sees me. And I think he understood that.

0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:50.520
<v Speaker 2>So I know, obviously you're not going on Love Island

0:26:50.520 --> 0:26:52.639
<v Speaker 2>in that, But I think the best way is is

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:54.200
<v Speaker 2>to spend time like me and my old man actually

0:26:54.240 --> 0:26:56.440
<v Speaker 2>went to like canceling together, Like we fully went to

0:26:56.480 --> 0:27:00.040
<v Speaker 2>couples canceling counseling. Yeah, we fully like we put in

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:01.200
<v Speaker 2>the work to get where we are.

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:02.000
<v Speaker 1>That's amazing.

0:27:02.160 --> 0:27:03.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And the number one tip we had was to

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:06.440
<v Speaker 2>spend time together and put ourselves outside of our comfort

0:27:06.520 --> 0:27:08.760
<v Speaker 2>zone where we have the ability to hang out and

0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:10.119
<v Speaker 2>we'd do things that he wanted to do, things that

0:27:10.119 --> 0:27:10.760
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to do.

0:27:11.080 --> 0:27:11.840
<v Speaker 1>That's amazing.

0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:15.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't know a lot of parents or maybe people

0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:17.280
<v Speaker 3>aren't open about it, So thank you for being open

0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:19.920
<v Speaker 3>about it. So you think that's something that can really work.

0:27:20.119 --> 0:27:23.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we would. The cancellor would tell us, like, you

0:27:23.160 --> 0:27:25.199
<v Speaker 2>guys should do something on the weekends. Every Saturday. We

0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:28.760
<v Speaker 2>put time aside. One was a his spin class, another

0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:30.840
<v Speaker 2>one was I think we watched Star Wars together, like

0:27:30.920 --> 0:27:34.000
<v Speaker 2>just stuff that we're like, we bonded over.

0:27:34.160 --> 0:27:36.520
<v Speaker 3>So maybe that's something that we can tell the listeners

0:27:36.560 --> 0:27:38.760
<v Speaker 3>to maybe find things that you have in common and

0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:41.719
<v Speaker 3>maybe do them together. Find commonalities that you guys have

0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:44.639
<v Speaker 3>and maybe try to bond over those things.

0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:46.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, let me ask you a question.

0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:49.280
<v Speaker 5>Mark the counselor was not because guys used to do

0:27:49.280 --> 0:27:51.720
<v Speaker 5>the wrestling together before that or.

0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:55.040
<v Speaker 2>It was around the same time. So the wrestling actually

0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:57.440
<v Speaker 2>did help us as well because he was a big

0:27:57.480 --> 0:27:59.240
<v Speaker 2>fan of wrestling. He was the reason I got into wrestling,

0:27:59.680 --> 0:28:02.320
<v Speaker 2>so he we just speak about that and it was yeah,

0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:04.840
<v Speaker 2>it was literally the same time. Yeah, and then that

0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:06.280
<v Speaker 2>was a good thing as well. So now when we

0:28:06.320 --> 0:28:08.080
<v Speaker 2>call each other week, we can chat for like half

0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:09.280
<v Speaker 2>an hour, chat to him for half an hour the

0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:11.320
<v Speaker 2>other day. Like I remember one of the first times

0:28:11.320 --> 0:28:13.680
<v Speaker 2>we started actually chatting. I was like after, I was like, gee,

0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:16.760
<v Speaker 2>we is Like that wasn't that was weird? I've wanted

0:28:16.800 --> 0:28:19.040
<v Speaker 2>this like twenty four years, five years, and I got it,

0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:20.119
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, fuck, that was weird.

0:28:20.440 --> 0:28:22.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, because I met your dad, if you remembers at

0:28:22.280 --> 0:28:23.760
<v Speaker 5>the airport, Yes, I remember we were.

0:28:23.800 --> 0:28:27.919
<v Speaker 4>We were talking to your mom and dad and your sisters.

0:28:28.000 --> 0:28:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:28:29.480 --> 0:28:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Did you get along with him then? Did you guys click? Yeah? Yeah,

0:28:32.800 --> 0:28:35.080
<v Speaker 2>he had a common thing. We've both been on TV

0:28:35.240 --> 0:28:39.000
<v Speaker 2>for us coming out common ground to chat about.

0:28:39.200 --> 0:28:42.360
<v Speaker 3>Okay, our next listener, Riley has written in and said,

0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:46.600
<v Speaker 3>my dad doesn't accept any of my boyfriends and makes

0:28:46.720 --> 0:28:49.480
<v Speaker 3>my dating life extremely difficult.

0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Help Dad, do you want to do? You want to

0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:54.200
<v Speaker 1>take this one away?

0:28:54.400 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 4>I think the first question is how old is Riley?

0:28:57.040 --> 0:28:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Sue Riley?

0:28:58.680 --> 0:28:59.040
<v Speaker 3>How old?

0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:00.640
<v Speaker 4>She said itself?

0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:03.560
<v Speaker 3>When do you think that like people should be allowed

0:29:03.560 --> 0:29:05.280
<v Speaker 3>to start dating as a dad.

0:29:05.360 --> 0:29:08.880
<v Speaker 5>I think eighteen is pretty you know, standard, pretty standard,

0:29:08.720 --> 0:29:13.600
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, I don't know the detail, but obviously, yeah,

0:29:14.240 --> 0:29:14.960
<v Speaker 5>I do feel for it.

0:29:15.360 --> 0:29:19.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's definitely a fine line. Like obviously, dating is

0:29:19.760 --> 0:29:23.240
<v Speaker 3>such an important part of like socializing as like a seventeen,

0:29:23.320 --> 0:29:25.920
<v Speaker 3>eighteen year old, and it's like these life lessons that

0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:28.280
<v Speaker 3>you need to learn, and if you have a parent

0:29:28.320 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 3>who's just completely stopping any of that from happening, then

0:29:31.040 --> 0:29:34.440
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of stopping that progression. But in saying that,

0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:37.640
<v Speaker 3>like you can totally understand from a parent's point of

0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:39.360
<v Speaker 3>view that they're just trying to be protective.

0:29:39.560 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 2>It's life lessons that to be honest, a father can't

0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:45.120
<v Speaker 2>teach a daughter when they go out and date exactly,

0:29:45.200 --> 0:29:47.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, and they have to learn it for themselves.

0:29:47.320 --> 0:29:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Like I said before, it would be the fucking hardest

0:29:49.280 --> 0:29:51.040
<v Speaker 2>thing to see your daughter go out there and date,

0:29:51.200 --> 0:29:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Like fuck.

0:29:52.720 --> 0:29:59.040
<v Speaker 3>That, Yeah, that would be one of those people like.

0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:02.640
<v Speaker 1>How are you seeing?

0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:04.520
<v Speaker 3>Like I think I saw in a TV show and

0:30:04.600 --> 0:30:06.880
<v Speaker 3>like the kids go to like the cinema and.

0:30:06.840 --> 0:30:09.200
<v Speaker 5>The dad like in the back and he's in the

0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:10.080
<v Speaker 5>middle of the popcorn.

0:30:10.640 --> 0:30:11.760
<v Speaker 1>No, he's at the back.

0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:13.680
<v Speaker 3>As soon as he sees it like going in for

0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:15.280
<v Speaker 3>a kiss, He's like throwing popcorn.

0:30:15.880 --> 0:30:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Popcorn. Oh, I think that's all part of it. But

0:30:20.080 --> 0:30:22.880
<v Speaker 2>have you seen Anna's heart be broken? It's as a father.

0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:25.479
<v Speaker 2>How is that as well? How do you find that

0:30:25.560 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 2>to see because obviously that would be heartbreaking for you.

0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:33.920
<v Speaker 4>I've never seen a heartbroken and such.

0:30:33.960 --> 0:30:36.120
<v Speaker 5>I know her first relationship. I think that was a

0:30:36.200 --> 0:30:39.560
<v Speaker 5>really good relationship. But she was upset after the break up.

0:30:39.600 --> 0:30:43.400
<v Speaker 5>But she knew dig down, she did how's happened, but

0:30:43.840 --> 0:30:45.760
<v Speaker 5>she was upset about that was the first time I

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 5>seen upset.

0:30:46.960 --> 0:30:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Dad, thank you so much for coming into the studio.
