If you're asking me, I 21 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: like to say I am very evolved now with age 22 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: and two kids, I just felt like Give Them Lalla 23 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: was it just didn't sit right anymore. I felt like 24 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: we had outgrown it. I felt like it was juvenile 25 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: in a time in my life that was wonderful, but 26 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: I'll never be going back to. And as I was 27 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: kind of sitting with my thoughts and going what does 28 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: my life represent?

I know. 41 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 2: I woke up on my. 42 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: Thirty fifth birthday and was like, Wow, this was not 43 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 1: a part of the plan. But I'm so happy because 44 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: in all of the things that I didn't get to choose, 45 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: I was given so many choices to still live the 46 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: life that I so desperately just want to live, and 47 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: you guys know I'm a crier, so just get used 48 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: to that. That part has not changed. I really want 49 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: to just shine a light on people who have thought 50 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: that their life was going to go one way and 51 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: it went the complete opposite direction, and they took life 52 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: by the ovaries and said, fuck this. It may be 53 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: the complete opposite of what I thought life was going 54 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: to be like, but I'm going to choose what i 55 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: want out of life with the situation that I've been given. 56 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: So my first guest, some of you or most of 57 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: you are going to know her from the show You 58 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: or Ray Donovan.

Whether we've been 67 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: in the lowest of lows or the highest of highs, 68 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: it's kind of just been the two of us, and 69 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: it's been very sacred to me, and I'm really grateful 70 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: that you're doing my podcast and you're my first guest. 71 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: Thank you. 72 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 3: I know it's we've been talking about you know, we've 73 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 3: been through a lot, and we've you know, like you said, 74 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 3: we've kept everything really private. And I think that there's 75 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 3: a time where like either I'm like, okay, I think 76 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 3: I'm ready to kind of just like inspire not go 77 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 3: out and talk shit or you know, hurt people's feelings 78 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: or you know, but heal and this is part of 79 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 3: like my healing, which is a continuous journey for me. 80 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 3: But maybe you weren't ready, and then you were ready, 81 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 3: and then I wasn't ready.

Time makes 86 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: everything a little bit easier to stomach, and it can 87 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: be your best friend or your worst enemy, because time 88 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: passing freaks me out. But it's also, like you said, 89 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: what heals a lot of wounds and puts people on 90 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: the same parallel path. And I think a lot of 91 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: people can go back and think about how our relationship 92 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: because we couldn't call it a friendship back then, how 93 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: it definitely not started and without you know, making a 94 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: certain someone the forefront of all of it and making 95 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: that person more of just like a common denominator, a silhouette, 96 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: if you will, how you and I started, and then 97 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: how we got as close as we got, Like what 98 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: is what is your perspective on that? And how do 99 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: you remember things? 100 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 3: Oh? 101 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: My goodness, you know. 102 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 3: I sometimes I don't even think about any thing when 103 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 3: when it comes to that stuff, but then something will 104 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: come up and I it feels like and that's just 105 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 3: part of like healing, right, And there's like healing is 106 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 3: not linear, and you can't teach someone that, like time heals, 107 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 3: you have to experience. And I had this conversation with London. 108 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: My eldest. 109 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 3: For those you obviously know London, but for those listening, 110 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 3: she just went through a breakup and I just can't. 111 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 3: I couldn't explain to her more that like, honey, time 112 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 3: will make it better, and she goes, mom, but it 113 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 3: feels like my heart has been broken. 114 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: And I'm like, I know what that feels like. 115 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, and not just once, but like multiple times, and 116 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 3: I promise you, like, we're going to get through this 117 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 3: one day at a time and you're gonna be okay. 118 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 3: So sometimes I you know, I see the relationship that 119 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 3: our children have and it is the most beautiful, unexpected, 120 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 3: untraditional way. But if there's anything that I wanted to 121 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 3: teach my girls out of my experience that I had 122 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 3: with you was the power of forgiveness. And it's not easy, 123 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 3: and like you you can forgive a million times over 124 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 3: every single day, but I am so grateful that I 125 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 3: just like literally was like if I don't forgive and 126 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 3: learn how to forgive, because you remember, I grew up 127 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 3: in a Mormon church, Like forgiveness was like that's the 128 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 3: first thing you go to. But true forgiveness you it's 129 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 3: for yourself, it's not for the other person, right, And 130 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 3: when someone explained it to me that way, I was like, oh, okay, yeah, 131 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,679 Speaker 3: because I don't want to keep suffering. And I suffered 132 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 3: for a long time. It was like that that scratch 133 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 3: that you that would heal and then you would just 134 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 3: like pick at it and then would start bleeding again, 135 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 3: and then it would scab again. Then you it's like, 136 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 3: but why, It's like in this constant. 137 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: Like cycle, this loop of self sabotage, self pity, self torture, 138 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: and I was like, you get to a point where 139 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: you're just like, no more, I'm done, and you have 140 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: to have that gift of desperation where you're just like, 141 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to do it anymore. I don't want 142 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: to live like this anymore. I do this thing where 143 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: and I don't do it often, but there are certain 144 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: times in my life, and there's two that I can pinpoint. 145 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: It's when it has to do with the passing of 146 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: my dad and my sobriety. Where I will go back 147 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: and watch old seasons of vander Pump Rules, and I 148 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: watch season seven the beginning a lot to kind of 149 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: remind myself where I was at when my dad passed 150 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: away and how dark that place was. And it sounds 151 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: like I'm some like emotional masochist, but it's really to 152 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: just remind myself how far we've come and how different 153 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: things are. But I was watching and I know you 154 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: don't watch vander Pump, but I was watching season six 155 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: and it was the first season where I wasn't hiding 156 00:08:54,520 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: my relationship and I wanted to punch my own self 157 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: in the face. I truly cannot imagine what it was 158 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: like for you to watch that person me at that 159 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 1: time and go, this is the person who came in. 160 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm using the right word destroyed 161 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: my my family is the person that's potentially going to 162 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 1: be around my children. I would have lost my mind. 163 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: Do you want to like, am I allowed to ask, 164 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: like what your mindset was when, like if you'd seen clips, 165 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 1: or like what was your headspace? 166 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 3: My initial reaction for everything in life is I go nam, oh, 167 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 3: like I don't see I think actually, as I've gotten older, 168 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 3: my hormones have like changed a little bit perimenopause. I 169 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 3: see red sometimes okay, but then other times where I 170 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 3: just want to numb the fuck out because the feeling, 171 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 3: the feelings are just too big for me to manage. 172 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: Okay. 173 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 3: So I think during that time, I didn't know how 174 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 3: to cope. So for me, it was just like go 175 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 3: in and I just like, you just want to die. 176 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: You just want to die? Yeah, but I didn't know. 177 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: I didn't die. I didn't die. You wanted to do what 178 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: you didn't. Those are very very different things. After the 179 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 1: the ball started rolling and it was like okay, this 180 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: person because you and I had had moments because I 181 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: was a very different version of myself when I was drinking. 182 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: Once I got sober, I feel like you and I 183 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: were able. It wasn't always roses like we had our 184 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: we had our outs, but yeah we did. Know there 185 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: were times where we were be on the phone, Amber 186 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: and I'd be like, this girl should be on reality TV. 187 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: She shouldn't be an actress. You're talking about me? 188 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, you bitch, ghost toes because I was being dramatic. 189 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: No, the two of us a bitch at each other 190 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: on the phone. 191 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 3: I know, I know. 192 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: Do you remember we'd be on the phone and be like, 193 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: fuck you bitch. It was a wild yeah yeah, yeah, 194 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: but now I'm a mom. 195 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 3: And by the way, I actually haven't thought about that 196 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 3: in a long time. 197 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 2: My girl, Remember where I was so mean? 198 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: Here's the thing, though, Amber, No matter no matter what 199 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: the reasoning of how it happened, let me tell you, 200 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: had I been sober and where I am now and 201 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: the woman I am now, it would have never happened. 202 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: But I have to trust that the universe had a 203 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 1: plan for me my path. Your path was written in 204 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: the star as well. Before we even got here and 205 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: we were equipped with all the tools to manage the heartbreak, 206 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: the trauma, all of the things. Like and even if 207 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: that's not true, I have to tell myself that that 208 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: was the plan. Yeah. 209 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 2: If I don't tell myself that, I will go crazy. 210 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: I will beat myself up until I can't get out 211 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: of bed. So going back and looking at how it happened, 212 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: had I been in my right frame of mind, I would. 213 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 2: Have been able to say the math ain't math in. 214 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 3: But that's the point of life, Like we are in 215 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 3: the school of life. If you're not evolving, Like, why 216 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 3: are you on this earth right? And it doesn't matter 217 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 3: what age, like, you are meant to go on this path. 218 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 3: I'm meant to go on this path. And it just 219 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 3: so happened that our past fetched and crossed and then 220 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 3: here we are today. 221 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, that part is we're okay, We're great, and I 222 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: love having you in my life. I feel like you're 223 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: a sister to me. We're for ever going to be 224 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: family because of our kids. 225 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 2: And I think, you know. 226 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 1: It's very normal. You hear about people who get divorced 227 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: and then like new partners come in and they can 228 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 1: all go to dinner. It is very that you hear 229 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: a situation where there was a cheating scandal that happened 230 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: and the wife forgives. I'm gonna put it in quotes 231 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: because I still refuse to call myself a mistress. A mistress? 232 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 1: Am I a mistress? I don't know. 233 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 3: I mean, if you are, I don't know what it's like. 234 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 3: What is the definition of a definition of a mistress? 235 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: Is? 236 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 2: This is someone who's married. 237 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: So even if you know, even if you know, but 238 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: I should have known, you should the math was not mathing. 239 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: And I like it to drink and numb it and 240 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: go know everything that you're filling in your gut. Just drink, 241 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: You'll just numb it. That's true, all right? So yeah, 242 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: technically I am. It's very rare that the wifer gives 243 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: the mistress and then the mistress and the wife stay. 244 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: We're like getting the kids together. 245 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 3: It's like that other movie than Nick Cassavetti's movie that 246 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 3: I was talking about, The Other Woman. 247 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 2: We are, Well, I'm the other woman. 248 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: I'm Leslie Man.

Sometimes you get in bed with people and 999 00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,840 Speaker 3: you're like, they're okay, and then meaning like physically, and 1000 00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,239 Speaker 3: then you get in ben You're like, whoa, well, yeah, 1001 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:38,520 Speaker 3: that guy knows how to move. 1002 00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:40,640 Speaker 1: That guy's all got down there, like we did a 1003 00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:45,760 Speaker 1: ball check.

I think some men 1012 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,480 Speaker 1: who have a situation going on down there, they're like, 1013 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 1: I like it, this is I'm a man baby. Yeah, 1014 00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,200 Speaker 1: I guess that's true. I would say we got to 1015 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,160 Speaker 1: like figure out the situation. I could do it for you. 1016 00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:19,680 Speaker 1: I have shaved someone before. Oh a many, I don't care. 1017 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:21,759 Speaker 1: I'm down there. Let me let me get it all 1018 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,320 Speaker 1: cleaned up. I know what it should look. 1019 00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,320 Speaker 3: Like with your tweezers exactly. 1020 00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:29,600 Speaker 1: I'm down here anyway, might as well get it done. 1021 00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,800 Speaker 1: You are dirty. You are dirty. 1022 00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,040 Speaker 2: But how do I go from being like a complete 1023 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:36,920 Speaker 2: nun to being like. 1024 00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:38,319 Speaker 1: Fuck it tits out? 1025 00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,480 Speaker 3: But I'm just you know what's so interesting? I am 1026 00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:48,440 Speaker 3: the same way I'm I'm extremist. Yeah, yeah, I have like. 1027 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:52,960 Speaker 1: Two speeds, you know, yeah, zero or one hundred. Yeah. 1028 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:56,960 Speaker 3: I'm either like working in the kitchen at like seven am, 1029 00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,480 Speaker 3: getting the kids ready for school, yeah, or I'm like, 1030 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:04,239 Speaker 3: you know, all buttoned up totally. But I think that 1031 00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,960 Speaker 3: there's a time and place for everything I do too, right, Yes, Like, 1032 00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:12,000 Speaker 3: I think that's what makes you so unique and beautiful things, 1033 00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:17,399 Speaker 3: And men don't want that men, I feel like they 1034 00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 3: want personality, at least the right ones want personality. 1035 00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,879 Speaker 1: So too because on the flip side of what I said, 1036 00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:26,480 Speaker 1: because that's kind of where I'm at now. But let's 1037 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 1: just say I was looking for like my partner, there 1038 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:34,680 Speaker 1: would be things that would outweigh the physical. And here's why. 1039 00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:39,080 Speaker 1: Because when you're going in that direction, looks are going 1040 00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,800 Speaker 1: to fade. Sex life is going to fade. What really 1041 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:46,719 Speaker 1: stays true is someone's core and their heart and their personality. 1042 00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:50,000 Speaker 1: You hope, I mean a normal person like at our age, 1043 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,440 Speaker 1: You would hope that their personalities are if they're funny, 1044 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,280 Speaker 1: they're not going to lose their sense of humor. 1045 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:57,640 Speaker 2: Those are the things that are going to carry you through. 1046 00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:00,120 Speaker 1: Right. So, if I'm looking for someone who's going to 1047 00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:03,799 Speaker 1: be in my life every single day, obviously the kids 1048 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:05,719 Speaker 1: got to get along with the kids, But for me, 1049 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,200 Speaker 1: you have to be my best friend. I have to 1050 00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,719 Speaker 1: call you when I'm at the highest of highs and 1051 00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:13,799 Speaker 1: the lowest of lows. I have to want to be 1052 00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,080 Speaker 1: around you all the time, because that's what's gonna get 1053 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:17,839 Speaker 1: us to the very end. Right. 1054 00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:19,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, it's finding somebody you could be a best 1055 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,560 Speaker 3: friend with but I also think that sex doesn't have 1056 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:22,040 Speaker 3: to fade. 1057 00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,160 Speaker 1: You're either a sexual person or you're not. Honey, when 1058 00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,440 Speaker 1: you're grown and you need a hip replacement and you 1059 00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:29,200 Speaker 1: got to be on the bed for a little bit. No, 1060 00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:31,440 Speaker 1: I'm starting to be having sex or you're kidding, you're 1061 00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:32,719 Speaker 1: a savage. I fucking love you. 1062 00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:37,479 Speaker 3: I need I need sex, Like that's like the first 1063 00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:38,840 Speaker 3: thing I feel like that when I step into a 1064 00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:39,799 Speaker 3: relationship and I'm like. 1065 00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 1: Just so you know, like I I like sex. What 1066 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:48,040 Speaker 1: are we talking like once? How many times a week? No, 1067 00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:49,520 Speaker 1: I mean it's a healthy amount. Don't worry. 1068 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,000 Speaker 3: I don't I don't need another. 1069 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:54,239 Speaker 1: Program we really should check into. 1070 00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,840 Speaker 3: I think a couple times a week is normal. 1071 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:00,920 Speaker 2: Oh, totally doable. 1072 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. I asked my married friends, and they probably think 1073 00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:05,799 Speaker 1: I'm a weirdo that's going to go home and like 1074 00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,960 Speaker 1: masturbate to thinking about them. But I truly do wonder, 1075 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:13,120 Speaker 1: like how often my married friends have sex, And it's 1076 00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:17,479 Speaker 1: truly just to understand, like what does and what is antsy. 1077 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,759 Speaker 1: A lot of them say that it's two times a week, 1078 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,239 Speaker 1: but then when kids come into play, they're like, we're 1079 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,640 Speaker 1: lucky to get twice a month. But we always make 1080 00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,040 Speaker 1: sure that we're like getting into bed together, We're going 1081 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,680 Speaker 1: to bed together, and I think that's very important. The 1082 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,680 Speaker 1: day sex is the best when the kids are at school. 1083 00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:37,640 Speaker 3: There's something so sexy about that because you. 1084 00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,240 Speaker 1: Feel like you shouldn't be doing I know, but you should. 1085 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,880 Speaker 1: I love an afternoon masturbation, Sash.
