I know, there was kind 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.000 of hard for people like I feel like we were 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:16.840 taking getting smoke. We were just friends. 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.520 Yeah. I feel like, you know, the first article that 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.080 went out when we went to lunch. 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.520 And it was literally like lunch, you guys, it was 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:24.960 nothing else more than lunch. 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:25.840 It definitely was. 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.400 And I got a couple of texts from like my 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.200 mom and you know, just other family members, and you know, 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.000 it's just it's just funny that I think there was 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.000 a lot of interest in intrigue, even in us hanging 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:35.839 out early on. 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.319 And so yeah, happy to start sending the rector straight. 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.040 I know, God, thank God, because I feel like people 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:43.680 are calling me a liar. I was like, I promise 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:55.600 we're just friends. Yeah, so let's talk about my kids, okay, 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.840 because I do feel like I don't normally bring guys 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.640 around my kids. I'm really selective on who I invite 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.360 into my home, who I have around my kids, because 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:05.720 I feel like, for me, you know, my kids are 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:07.559 my best friends, and I feel like we ride the 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:11.080 wave together and we talk about everything beforehand. But I 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.840 feel like it was very natural and normal when you 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:15.480 came around, because they already knew you. 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.079 Obviously, we hadn't really spent a lot of time around 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:19.320 each other. But I don't know. 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:20.960 I feel like I prefer to be a fly on 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.280 the wall and take in my environment before I get 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.200 comfortable like speaking. And obviously your kids are great and 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.320 they've been gracious, you know, with me, So I love you. 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:32.000 I think it's been it's been great. 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.000 Yeah. I think it's like I think when you're friends 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.480 with someone, I think it just kind of evolves, you know. 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:38.559 I don't think like you have to put pressure on 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.199 everyone in your family and everyone else when you genuinely 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.520 start as friends, you know, because they already used to 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.800 teach you guys hanging out, you guys being friends. And 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.560 I feel like my kids already knew you, like when 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.280 I would FaceTime with you or call you and I'd 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.839 be like, ohh like I you know, just conversations we 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:53.679 would have. So I think when they finally did get 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.640 to meet you, it was not like, oh my god, 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:57.920 who's this guy? It was almost like, hey, Marc is up? 0:09:58.120 --> 0:09:59.079 Yeah? No, for sure. 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.080 And I feel like, you know, there's things that we 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.160 have in common, you know, in terms of like you know, 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:06.320 my basketball background, and you know, obviously now with my 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.040 store and fashion and stuff, I know that Preston is 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.240 you know, heavily involved in fashion, and obviously Sophia does 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:13.280 are modeling and stuff. 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:14.839 So I don't know, I just feel like there's a. 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.280 Lot of common ground, yeah, which makes it easier for 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:18.880 us all that we around each other. 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:20.840 I feel like it's like hard to meet someone that 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:22.600 fits all the categories, you. 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.520 Know, and I feel like we definitely fit all the category. 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:25.400 No, you definitely. 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.040 I mean you're funny, smart, cute, hot. 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.440 Thank you, so, I literally said last year, I was 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.400 telling everyone, I'm like, look, I think I might be 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:37.160 single forever because there's no one that's cute, funny, you know, 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.000 we do the whole skit exactly. And then when I, 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:41.880 like when you and I first got together, I was like, 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.320 oh my god, this is the guy, Like, this is 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:46.199 the guy I prayed for, because I really prayed for 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.040 a best friend, and I feel like I got my 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.240 best friend. Yeah, and there's not like a better place 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:52.920 to be because I feel like I could never let 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:54.160 you down because you're my best friend. 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:55.800 Yeah.

Yeah, I think that'd be a 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.000 great topic for us to talk about, is dating someone 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:36.480 with kids. 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:37.120 You know, Again, I. 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.920 Said, I always prefer to play back seat, you know, 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.880 a back seat role. But you know, there's some guys 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.559 out there that would you know, take a different approach 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.120 or if your children are younger, you know, maybe then 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:50.800 you know you need to be around or are more 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.320 influencible or something like that.

Really, No, it 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:11.160 was not a good experience for me because I. 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:12.760 Felt like, how old were the kids? 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.000 They were like seven and like. 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.320 Nine, Okay, so that's still pretty young. 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.120 Yeah, it just was not It's just too much work, 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:21.760 I feel like for guys, because guys don't know how 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:23.719 to manage your time as well as women. I think. 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:25.240 Yeah, I mean that's a fair asist, and. 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.760 I feel like guys deal with it's just hard to 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.800 like manage when you're like if you're in a relationship 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.360 where your ex as a psycho and it's like the 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.160 person's putting a lot of pressure on you, and then 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.199 you're putting pressure on the new relationship. I don't know. 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.240 I feel like that sometimes is like too much smoke, 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:40.320 Like I can't deal with that. 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:40.520 Well. 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:44.160 I definitely feel like it's different dating someone with kids, 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.200 like from the male perspective versus the female perspective. You know, 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.800 I feel like as a woman, maybe you have to 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.440 come in and you know, take over more motherly duties 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:53.960 and tests, whereas. 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:55.720 I feel like most men, you're watching the game. 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.000 You're sitting back and kind of going with the flow 0:12:58.040 --> 0:12:58.520 and most self. 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.680 Then Yeah, I think you're right. Yeah, I think you're right. 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:01.679 At least that's my role. 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.640 You know, you're real. Is great, you have the best roll. 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.080 You come and watch games, and we ordered dinner. When 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.319 dinner it's like movie night exactly. It's easy stuff. 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:11.800 I think you kind of touched on it earlier. 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.400 It was like knowing that you were at a position 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:16.120 earlier when we first met that you didn't want to 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.360 take on all the smoke and so not all the smoke, 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.120 but like you didn't I guess you framed it that way, 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.080 like there might have been smoke with us dating. Obviously, 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:25.960 there has been a lot of interest. 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:27.960 I do want to say this. I I you know, 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:29.680 I totally forgot to talk about this, but I feel 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.719 like a lot of people thought that we knew each 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:32.839 other our whole lives. 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:34.360 Yeah, that definitely was a. 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.320 Like I threw your like fifth birthday or something like, 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.400 I don't know it, just like I'm like, no, by 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:40.760 the way, I never met you before. 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:42.880 Yeah, I think, you know, that's one of the things 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.200 that I've had to like try to restrain myself from 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:49.240 commenting to on social media, just because like it's the 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.400 most common thing people say. It's like, oh, you used 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.880 to babysit me, or we knew each other when I 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:54.360 was real. 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:55.000 Young or whatever. 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:56.680 By the way, you're not that much younger than we 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:57.040 just seen. 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:58.000 I know, I trust me. 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.440 I know I'm just kidding, but yeah, I just think that, 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:03.880 you know, it's funny people that don't know or that 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:07.160 I'm misinformed, you know, obviously make assumptions, and so, you know, again, 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.959 thankful for this podcast because it because it's an opportunity 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:11.199 to set the record straight. 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.840 Definitely, I feel like, you know, we're both adults, and 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.200 I did kind of in the beginning, you know, I 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.160 was kind of skeptical because I kind of felt like, 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.000 why would you do this, Larsa, Why would you do this? 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.240 Why would you date someone that you know? Just the families. 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.840 It's just a really crazy situation to be in. Yeah, 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.240 and I think that, like for me, I never wanted 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:33.360 to be put in that situation, not that I ever 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.000 cared who. I never had to explain who I was 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.320 dating to my ex or my exes or whatever. Like, 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.280 I don't feel like it's anyone's business. I think when 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:43.160 you're an adult, when you break up with someone respectfully, 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.160 like you move on, you do whatever you want, you 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.760 date whoever you want, and you're happy. And I think 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:49.600
