1
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. In this episode, our Love Stories series

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 1: continues and up next doctor Jeff Gardier, doctor Amber Brody.

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: He's black, she's white, she's Jewish, he's not. They're twenty

4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: seven years at bard in age and they are newlyweds.

5
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to this special Cuffing season edition of Amy

6
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: and Tjay and wrote to anybody who's familiar with our

7
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: podcast over the past year knows doctor Guardier and knows

8
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: that we adored as dude.

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: We do, and we have leaned on him for more

10
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: than a decade now, but especially in the last couple

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: of years. He is known as America's psychologist. He talks

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 2: us through the tough times in this world, but also

13
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: talks about relationships. He is a relationship expert. In fact,

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: it's funny because any of you who might have a

15
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: therapist or someone who you lean on for advice, you

16
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: almost sometimes feel like you can't ask them about their

17
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: life or about what their relationship is like. So I

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: actually really didn't know that much about doctor Gardier's personal life,

19
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: and we've known his due twenty years.

20
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: I mean, just going back to our days and cable news,

21
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: you've been interviewing this guy for a long long time.

22
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: Was not that familiar with his personal life. No, he

23
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: used to talk about it, his wife and this and that.

24
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: We hear this all the time who he's with, but

25
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: we never put it all together.

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: We knew he was divorced, and we knew he was

27
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 2: with someone else, but other than that, we never really

28
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: pride or leaned in on that because we just didn't

29
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: feel We felt like there was a boundary, okay, healthy boundary.

30
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: We got to lean in recently because we went to

31
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: his wedding.

32
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: Yes, we got the invitation. We thought, well, this is

33
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: an invitation to more than just a wedding. We can

34
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: start asking questions.

35
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: So we did, and you know what we found out.

36
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: We found out that there is nearly a three decade

37
00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: age difference between doctor Gardier and his wife, and they

38
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: love talking about it. It seems they love giving each

39
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: other hell about it. They love even at the wedding,

40
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: it was a part of the vows, even the ceremony.

41
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: They cracked little jokes about it.

42
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: So I didn't know what to expect going to the

43
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: wedding or even meeting his better half.

44
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: I think he would say that for sure, they're both doctors.

45
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 3: Doctor Jeff Gardier, doctor Amber Brodie. She's a physician.

46
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: Of course we mentioned he's America psychologist, but yeah, she's

47
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: twenty seven years younger than him. And this wedding was

48
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: incredible what it brought together and their level of comfort. Look,

49
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: these two have been together for more than a decade,

50
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: they have two children together, and they just recently, as

51
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: we pointed out, decided to actually make it official and

52
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: get married. So we wanted to ask them all the

53
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: questions that one would have about anyone, but specifically their situation.

54
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we ask them, as we've been doing in

55
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: our series, the exact same list of questions that we've

56
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: asked all of our couples, and their answers were fascinating,

57
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: same questions, how often do you fight, you go to

58
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: bed angry? Who handles the household chores? But the questions

59
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: got interesting when it turned to age, when it turned

60
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: to certain things that it turned to family accepting a relationship,

61
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: things got a little interesting.

62
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: They certainly did, and I have to say surprising I

63
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: And you know, I always think it's interesting when you're

64
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:37,559
Speaker 2: asking a doctor who counsels other people on their relationships

65
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: about his own relationship, and no matter what he says, Oh,

66
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: you've got Wifey right there to tell him that's not

67
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: exactly what happened. We saw that happen quite a bit.

68
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 2: It was amazing. I mean think about it. If you've

69
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: ever been in any therapy, can you imagine turning the

70
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: tables on your therapist. That's exactly what we got to

71
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: do in this episode.

72
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what, the folks, we can tell

73
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: you this is is one of our favorites and one

74
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: of the most enjoyable, and I think you're going to

75
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: find it to be as well. In this entire series

76
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: we've been doing. Again, reminded we drop a new one

77
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: every day of the week leading up to Valentine's Day

78
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 1: and today, enjoy it because we got a treat for you.

79
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: Doctor Jeff Guardier and doctor Amber Brody. Take a listen

80
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: to our conversation.

81
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: And we have the doctors with us right now, Doctor

82
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: Jeff Guardier and his beautiful bride, doctor Amber Brody.

83
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: Thank you for being with us, guys.

84
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 4: Thank you, thanks for having us. Great to be on

85
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 4: with both of you.

86
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and well we should apologize to Amber. We've had

87
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: doctor Guardia on several times. We didn't extend an invitation

88
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: to the amber until now that's our bad. That's our bad.

89
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: Isn't it fun though?

90
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: To be able to turn the tables and ask the

91
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: therapist questions about his relationship. I've really been looking forward

92
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: to this one. Guys.

93
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 5: That's why my hands are shaving.

94
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 2: Well, we'll dig right in. So the first question is

95
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: the one that we ask everyone to start off with.

96
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: And I love this both of you.

97
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: If you would give us three words to describe your

98
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: relationship right now, Jeff will start with.

99
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 5: You, Friendship, loving, passion.

100
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 6: Those are good ones. Can I say?

101
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 5: You could say anything you want?

102
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 7: You can even gold, fabulous, envious, a nice and.

103
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: Kind and kind. Now I have to say this first

104
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: time we've heard envious of them? Now, why did you

105
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: pick that one? I'm curious envious? Where did they come?

106
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 6: Envy of everyone?

107
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: That's awesome?

108
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 5: Envious?

109
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 8: I don't know when I feel that. When we're with

110
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 8: other couples, I feel that we're very lucky.

111
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 5: That yeah, but they're not'm envious.

112
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 4: They may be questioning, like, what the hell is he

113
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 4: dealing with her?

114
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 5: Vice versa?

115
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: Those these are her words, these are her words. Let'm

116
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: have a word.

117
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 3: She's pinching his cheek right now. It's great.

118
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 8: I'm old to stop saying old, by the way, relative really,

119
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 8: and most of the people I spend my days with

120
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 8: are you know, between eighty and one hundred. So every

121
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 8: time I come home Monday through Friday, there's this young,

122
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 8: dapper gentleman.

123
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 5: And I'm only ten years younger than that.

124
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: That is awesome. Okay, we're going to get into it

125
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: because that questions on here as well. But the next question,

126
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: I'll start with you on this one, Amber. Was there

127
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,239
Speaker 1: immediate chemistry when you two first met?

128
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 6: Now, well, and I think that's a good thing.

129
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 8: I think that you know, when flames burned too hot,

130
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 8: they tend to burn out.

131
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 5: As at the beginning. Yeah, so at the beginning, the.

132
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 8: Fact that we had a nice concrete base and foundation

133
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 8: of a friendship to work with.

134
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 6: When suddenly there was a flame, it was it was.

135
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 5: And it wasn't my flame.

136
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 4: It was her flame, right, it was her flame, not

137
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 4: my flame.

138
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 6: It was easy.

139
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 4: There was there was no attraction, there was nothing going on.

140
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 4: We were nothing but colleagues, and then from colleagues we

141
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 4: became friends.

142
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: Wow, that sounds really familiar. We were also on the

143
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: slop story.

144
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: Yes, so who ultimately ended up saying I love you first?

145
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 6: That was me, yes, and it must have been that.

146
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 6: I don't know. I've heard the term and I've mentioned

147
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 6: it to our rabbi as well.

148
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 8: Godsmack where you're just going about your business and all

149
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 8: of a sudden you're.

150
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 6: Just like, oh God, I love him?

151
00:07:59,080 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 5: What do I do?

152
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 6: Like that really actually happened?

153
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I.

154
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 3: Am so relating with you. I felt the same way.

155
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 3: You're like, wait a minute, when did this happen? How

156
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 3: did this happen? But it's definitely happening.

157
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 5: Didn't I do.

158
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 4: That therapy session with you guys on your podcast?

159
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 5: Right?

160
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: We don't want to call it a therapy session. We

161
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: had you as a guest.

162
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 3: Okay, it turned into a therapy We talked.

163
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: Some things out, all right. Next question here, how long

164
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: did you date before you got engaged? How long were

165
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: you engaged before you got married?

166
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 5: Okay?

167
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 4: We dated for a very short period of time, right,

168
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 4: and we were friends first for how many colleagues and

169
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 4: friends for about what three years?

170
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 6: He says for years, but I think it was six months.

171
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: Now, that's a big discrepancy, guys.

172
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 8: What Well, if you look at our daughter who was

173
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 8: born at a particular time.

174
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 5: When did we start working at the medical school.

175
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 8: It's great ither I came there in twenty thirteen. Yeah,

176
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 8: we were like we saw each other like for a

177
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 8: half of a semester in the spring.

178
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 5: Semester, so we knew each other.

179
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 6: We all like of each other. And then someone made us.

180
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 4: Work on it for a couple of years and then

181
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 4: we started teaching together.

182
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 8: I started working there July of twenty thirteen. I moved

183
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 8: from my hometown of Philly, Go Eagles to New York.

184
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 8: And our daughter was born March of fifteen. Okay, so

185
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 8: there's no couple of years there, all.

186
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 4: Right, So this is confusing. So what happened was we

187
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 4: worked together at the medical school.

188
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 5: We knew of one another for maybe two three years

189
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 5: you were.

190
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 6: There, No, three years later Noble was born.

191
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,479
Speaker 5: Okay, so you were there for some period of time.

192
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 6: Not long. I started there in twenty thirteen.

193
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 8: So anyway, we had to work on a lecture and

194
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 8: then I fell in love with him, and then.

195
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 5: We was it was bringing me lunch.

196
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 4: It was bringing me lunch, and all the secretary usual

197
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 4: laughing because they were like, you don't know what's going on.

198
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 5: And I was like I have no idea of what's

199
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 5: going on. Okay, this is.

200
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 4: A colleague, you know, I'm not getting involved with the colleague.

201
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 4: And I was actually helping Jay dates Jewish days.

202
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 5: I was her going on dates and we.

203
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 8: Work on our lectures together and our powerpoints and be like,

204
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 8: let's go get a beer, okay.

205
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 6: And then I was showing him how to use Tinder

206
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 6: the apps wipe lefts wipe right, and he goes to me,

207
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 6: I can't put.

208
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 8: My face on there, and I'm going, what's wrong with

209
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 8: your face? I didn't know who he was.

210
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 6: He was just you know, a.

211
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 5: Lot of people don't know who I am.

212
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 4: So anyway, long stories, because we know we're eating up

213
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 4: valuable time.

214
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: This is great stuff.

215
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 4: I love it. She invited me after I went through

216
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 4: you know, Jay dates with her, you know, helping her

217
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 4: pick her.

218
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 5: Dates, and saw me, your date, How was your date

219
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 5: last night? How was it?

220
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 4: And then so one day she said, meet me at

221
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 4: this restaurant in Harlem because we used to have Martini's

222
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 4: and clams dare oysters, you know, just as colleagues to discuss,

223
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 4: you know, the lectures. And then she said, I think

224
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 4: we should be together forever. That was the pitch. That

225
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 4: was the proposal. I said, absolutely.

226
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 5: Not, you're too young. I'm not gonna do it. Instead,

227
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 5: I'll give you more children.

228
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 4: And then she said I'll change your diapers because I'm

229
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 4: a jenius when the time comes.

230
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,119
Speaker 5: And I said, okay, only.

231
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 6: The first that was true.

232
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 3: What what did he say, Amberwyn? You said that to him?

233
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 8: He was pretty silent, but put his hand on my

234
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 8: leg and said okay.

235
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 3: And that was that wow, And I.

236
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 4: Said, okay, what am I doing for the next twenty years?

237
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 5: All right? Fine?

238
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 4: Just like that, I stepped out on faith Amy and TJ.

239
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, we're friends, we know one another.

240
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 4: She seems to be a very nice person, you know,

241
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 4: why not? And it worked out really well because I

242
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 4: had four children. She immediately fell into the group.

243
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 5: You know.

244
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 4: They got along except for one child who was like but.

245
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 6: She screamed for like an hour.

246
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 4: Well because she's closer to your age, right, and so

247
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 4: after that was settled. But she's been an incredible mother

248
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 4: along with their mother, who is an incredible mother and team.

249
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 4: And then we had two more and that's how we're together.

250
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 4: And we've been together now. We lived in sin for

251
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 4: ten years and then we finally officially got married. Where

252
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 4: you guys, we we could tell folks you were there, yes,

253
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 4: at our wedding. It was the first Jewish wedding in

254
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 4: the Malcolm x Betty Shabbaz Center in the Muslim Center,

255
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 4: so we're proud of that.

256
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 2: It was the most well, it was beautiful and it

257
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: was incredible, but it was definitely because of what you

258
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 2: just mentioned, one of the most unique weddings I've ever

259
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: been to in my life. To see all the different

260
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: and how cool is that all the different religions and

261
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 2: backgrounds and ages all coming together to celebrate your love.

262
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 4: It was absolutely race, religion, political affiliations. Nice mix there, Yeah,

263
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 4: it was a very nice, nice mix. But we had

264
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 4: we had Democrats Republicans.

265
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 3: Oh man, you were the tie that binded them all.

266
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 5: Together, Republicans. That's why we didn't talk about politics.

267
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 3: All Right, we've alluded. We've alluded to it quite a bit.

268
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: But go ahead and tell us what is your age

269
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 2: difference and has that had an impact on your relationship?

270
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 8: We are twenty seven years in a separation. We always

271
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 8: laugh that he got his PhD the year I was born,

272
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 8: If that puts any perspective on it. That's quite impressive.

273
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 8: Like you were a doctor. I was in diapers.

274
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 4: You know, I think the important thing here, you know,

275
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 4: and I point this out to a lot of folks.

276
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 4: You know, this was not a vanity project. It's not

277
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 4: about looking for someone, you know, as an older person,

278
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 4: younger than myself. It just, you know, everything just fell

279
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 4: in place in that way. I would have preferred to

280
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 4: be with someone of my own age, but you know,

281
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 4: she's very mature, so it worked out.

282
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: And we should say you all fully embrace and have

283
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: fun with and even you Amber at the wedding where

284
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: you also were making jokes up there at the altar

285
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: were as you were getting married, so you.

286
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 6: All not laugh and you'd be crying, right, honey, that's

287
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 6: what he says.

288
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean we you know, we talk about,

289
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 4: you know, our first date. It was the three of

290
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 4: us and it were like, what do you mean the

291
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 4: three of us? It was me, you and my walker.

292
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: You're holding yourself, doctor GUARDI are you're a good looking

293
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: I am you're not good looking for your age. You're

294
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: good looking, okay.

295
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 4: Person, I've said her, if you're going to put me

296
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 4: in a nursing home later on, because you're a geriatrician.

297
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 4: I'm getting a girlfriend in that nursing home, I said,

298
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 4: because I'm walking in there. And if you walk into

299
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 4: a nursing home at a certain age, you know what

300
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 4: they say.

301
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: Hey, sexy, I thought you're going to say you ain't

302
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: walking out, so I will say.

303
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 6: You did ask. The second part of that question was

304
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 6: on the relationship.

305
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 8: The I only kind of just notice the difference, like

306
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 8: he'll talk about something that happened in the past, and

307
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 8: I will have zero recollection because it happened before I

308
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 8: was born.

309
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 4: So I'm as far as music and culture and so on. Yeah,

310
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 4: she had no idea who Topo GJ was. For example,

311
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 4: remember that Sullivan to GJ.

312
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: Okay, you got me even at Sullivan.

313
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 5: Well, I'm much older than you guys.

314
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 6: Do you guys have an age gap as well?

315
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: Right, yes, I'm four and a half years older than TEJ.

316
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: Four and a half? What is she twelve? Who uses age?

317
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 5: That's not an age gap?

318
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: But Amber too, You got me be because I used

319
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: this line all the time I was in junior high

320
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: school when she was in college.

321
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: You know what the see But no, but he's saying

322
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: ninth grade and I was a freshman in college. Ninth

323
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 2: grade was high school where I went to school. So

324
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: he likes to be dramatic and say it was junior high.

325
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: Again, a factual statement. I was in junior high school

326
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: when she was in college, and we'll leave it to there.

327
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 3: And then I just say, lucky you, lovey.

328
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 5: You, TJ, lucky you. That's right.

329
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: So why did you guys want to get married? You

330
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: had been together for ten years. Why was it important

331
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: to be married? And what do you think your relationship

332
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: would be like if you just chose to stay together

333
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: but be unmarried, Like why was the ring important?

334
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 5: I don't even know that was your decision to get married.

335
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 8: I figure if there was a zombie apocalypse tomorrow and

336
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 8: I never got.

337
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 6: To be a bride, that would be a damn shape.

338
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 8: I've spent my whole life, you know, I think honestly,

339
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 8: if you recall that movie twenty seven Dresses, that was me,

340
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 8: you know, going through college, then med school, then residency

341
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 8: and fellowship.

342
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 6: I did not graduate from my.

343
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 8: Training till thirty one, so there was no serious relationships

344
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 8: and I was the perpetual bridesmaid.

345
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 3: That makes sense.

346
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 6: I also do recall that.

347
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 8: Sex in the City line that Miranda gave when she

348
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 8: was about to marry Steve, and she said, I think

349
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 8: it's important to stand there in front of the people

350
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 8: you love and say those words.

351
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 4: And that she's not giving you guys any advice, by.

352
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 3: The way, you know, I like that though.

353
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: It's very good. That's one of the better arguments I've heard.

354
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 8: Stuck with Nate, because at first Miranda did not She

355
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 8: was like, that's ridiculous. And then she was like, you

356
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 8: know what, it is important to stand in front of

357
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 8: those you love and say those words out loud to

358
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 8: the one you love.

359
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 6: And so I wanted to do.

360
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 5: That, Okay, And we did it. We did it, We

361
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 5: did it. Yeah.

362
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 4: And then she had the nerve to renovate our apartment

363
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 4: in the same year as that wedding. And I looked

364
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 4: at my bank account and I was like, what happened

365
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 4: to the money?

366
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 5: She said, besting in our future.

367
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 7: I'm like, Okay, the money's still there, all right, all right,

368
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 7: all right, okay.

369
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: Next next question for you to did your relationship have

370
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: the full support of your friends and family?

371
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 5: Oh? You had to go there, right, It's on the list.

372
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 5: How to go there? Well, do you want to share?

373
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 5: I think we can share what we found out.

374
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 6: On the We found out on the honeymoon.

375
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 4: What I mean we found out. Oh no, you didn't

376
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 4: know either about your brother. No, that story, Yeah, you

00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 4: want to tell that story?

378
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 5: Should we tell that story?

379
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: Please?

380
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 5: All right?

381
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 4: This was a big family secret that they finally revealed.

382
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 5: Go ahead, tell the story.

383
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 8: From what I got gathered, the family told me that

384
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 8: they had like had a meeting to get together and

385
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 8: how are we going to set.

386
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 4: So they had an intervention, all right, they had an

387
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 4: intervention on zoom or telephone, yes, where they said Amber

388
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 4: has lost her mind. She's gotten together with the senior citizen,

389
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 4: and you know, we've got to stop this from happening.

390
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 4: What is happening with her?

391
00:19:59,359 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 5: You know?

392
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 4: And so they tried to figure out whether she was

393
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 4: mentally stable or not.

394
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 3: No, that's that's serious.

395
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 4: Keep in mind, and that bet we all get along.

396
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 4: I love her brother, her brother loves me.

397
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 5: Where we're doing, Okay?

398
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 6: Ten years ago this happened a long, long, long time.

399
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 4: And now things have changed a lot, and her family

400
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 4: has been on both sides, her mother's side of the family,

401
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 4: her father's side of the family. They're very embracing, very

402
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 4: wonderful you know, very.

403
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 6: Happy and all is well.

404
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 8: Had that being said, they did admit to us that

405
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 8: that had occurred, and I did.

406
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 3: Not know that.

407
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: Wow.

408
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 2: I mean the cool thing is they've come around and

409
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 2: look at you now, and that's awesome.

410
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 3: Exactly exactly.

411
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: How would you this was the next question, but this

412
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: will be slightly amended for y'all because you're newlyweds. But

413
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 2: how would you describe your first year of marriage? I

414
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 2: would ask, how is your relationship now that you're married?

415
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 3: Has it changed?

416
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 8: Gonna say no, because I always felt married to you.

417
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree, But I think it's the years

418
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 4: have gone by Amy and TJ that I think we

419
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 4: get more and more romantic and more into the first

420
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 4: couple of years were more about friendship, being best friends

421
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 4: and changing diapers yeah, and supporting one another two Yeah.

422
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 4: But now we have really taken the time to be

423
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 4: We've always been kind to one another, but even kinder

424
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 4: and more romantic. We make it. We make it a job.

425
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 4: And what I mean by that is, well, but it's

426
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 4: you know, if you talk the talk, you walk the walk.

427
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 4: When I work with with couples, I say, you know,

428
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 4: it's really important that you do the necessary things check

429
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 4: off the boxes every day. A hug, a touch on

430
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 4: the shoulder, a kiss, saying I love you, even if

431
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 4: you're not feeling it, you should do it. So we

432
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 4: make it a job. We and but it's it's it's

433
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 4: it's great work. If you can get it right.

434
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: You follow your own advice. That's good to hear.

435
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 3: Yes, I do, he does, all right.

436
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 2: I disclosure on this next question because we've asked everyone

437
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 2: this and you can answer it however you'd like. But

438
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 2: how would you describe your sex life?

439
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 6: Wonderful?

440
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 4: I think it's one you know, the word I would

441
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 4: use is very intimate. It's very intimate in that it's

442
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 4: something just for us. It's something where it's not just

443
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 4: a physical, you know, interaction, but an emotional and spiritual interaction.

444
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 5: Wouldn't you say it's something that is so.

445
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 4: It just it's it's gorgeous everything yet expresses love on

446
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 4: many different levels.

447
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 6: Good, great, wonderful.

448
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: Next question here. I know you'll kind of hit on

449
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: this already because you talk about just a simple touch

450
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: on the shoulder, a hug or kiss. But how important

451
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: is physical touch in your relationship? And kind of specifically

452
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: do you hold hands when you're just randomly walking down

453
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: the street.

454
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, we even hold hands in the house.

455
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 8: If we get a minute to sit down next to

456
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 8: each other and the kids are not driving, it's crazy.

457
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 6: And if we're sitting down next to each other, we

458
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 6: are holding hands.

459
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, but we do have to tell them about your

460
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 4: aversion to sentimental Sundays.

461
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 8: Wow.

462
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 4: So on Sunday, when we're having dinner and a glass

463
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 4: of red wine, I'll tell her, you know, isn't it

464
00:23:54,600 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 4: wonderful that the most improbable relationship the couple people never

465
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 4: thought could happen? You know, how is it that we're together?

466
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 4: Isn't it strange but wonderful? She'll say, Oh, it's sentimental Sundays,

467
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 4: isn't it.

468
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 5: She said.

469
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 8: I always tell him he's more of a communicator than I,

470
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 8: which is a good thing. He thinks something and it

471
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 8: comes out, or he feels an emotion and it comes

472
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 8: out and he shows it, whereas I'm just like, oh,

473
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 8: I'm so lucky and great and I love Jeff so much.

474
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 8: But I'll just be like saying it while scrambling eggs,

475
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 8: like I don't say.

476
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 4: It, but she says, but she says it while scrambling eggs.

477
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 4: Because we don't know how much longer we'll have with

478
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 4: eggs meaning to it.

479
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.

480
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 2: On the flip side, how often do you all fight

481
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: or have an argument?

482
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 5: Rarely?

483
00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 6: If I were to quantify it, I'd say twice the year.

484
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 3: Of Wow, was it always like that?

485
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 5: Pretty much?

486
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 4: And when we do, when we do argue or have

487
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 4: a disagreement, I think we solve it within what thirty minutes?

488
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 5: Fifty? Not even that's amazing.

489
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: What do you fight?

490
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 5: I think? But I think that I think the reason

491
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 5: is amy. It's the difference in the ages. I think

492
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 5: that makes a difference. You know.

493
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 4: I often said to her, if you married someone in

494
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 4: your own age, you might be divorced by now.

495
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 5: I have the patience of ah.

496
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: Ah, it is all coming together.

497
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 3: Now do you what what? When you do fight? What

498
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 3: do you fight about?

499
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 5: Most? Oh? I have an answer, but go ahead. What

500
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 5: do you think? What do you fight about? Most? I

501
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 5: don't have an answer, Okay, I have an answer. Time.

502
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm always running.

503
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 4: Late, like this morning, Like when we went on that cruise,

504
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 4: I said, listen, the boat leaves, the ship leaves at

505
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 4: one or two o'clock. Let's get there by eleven. We

506
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 4: got there five minutes to two. Don't get me started.

507
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 6: No, that's not true. We made it there.

508
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 5: Way all right. We got there by one o'clock.

509
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 6: I made you know.

510
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 4: I don't take those kinds of chances he's operating on.

511
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 5: Is there something resonating here with you?

512
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: Yes, we do that. But but dogs the guard deer

513
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: we have we had this issue. But I give her credit.

514
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: She is now completely on her own. She will start

515
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: because you know what, it's it's bitten there in the

516
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: butt a couple of times to where she ends up

517
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 1: panicked or stressed because maybe there's the first uber canceled,

518
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: or maybe there was a flat tire, maybe there was

519
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: traffic you didn't anticipate. So she is seen where the

520
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: value is in making sure you're always always early.

521
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,719
Speaker 5: But isn't But isn't that the cosmic joke though? TJ.

522
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 5: People who look like you and I are.

523
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 4: Always labeled as folks not being on times. Look who

524
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 4: we're with, and they're the ones who are always late.

525
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 3: Yes, that's true.

526
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: They own white people times right.

527
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 2: They ain't even privileged people time exactly right.

528
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: I'll own that you could afford to be late. I

529
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: kind of show up early.

530
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 3: You know, so I also I see the value in it.

531
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 5: Right amber, if you call me a DEI higher.

532
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 3: All right, have you all? Do you all go to

533
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 3: bed angry?

534
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 5: Never?

535
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 7: No?

536
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 5: Never?

537
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 8: Wow?

538
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 5: Never?

539
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 6: It's important I think to separate.

540
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 8: And I know you've heard of or read about like

541
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 8: certain energies. So and emotions are very powerful and strong things.

542
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 8: They make people do things that they otherwise wouldn't. So

543
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 8: if you are in the same room with someone and

544
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 8: you're arguing and you feel that energy, I think it's

545
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 8: important to separate until And that's one thing my mom

546
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 8: used to teach me, go into a different room and

547
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 8: take ten deep breaths.

548
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 5: And I disagree with that. Why I disagree with that.

549
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 4: I think it's really important to talk about it afterwards.

550
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 4: Then okay to talk about it, and then so for yeah,

551
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 4: so to talk about it before you go to bed,

552
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 4: or even say, let's agree to disagree, but out being

553
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 4: you know, together is important. But for some folks that

554
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 4: I know, I'm not mentioning any names. Sometimes I'm not

555
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 4: mentioning any names. Sometimes just having a couple of hours

556
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 4: apart works for them.

557
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 5: She doesn't know what I'm talking about.

558
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: We were trying to remember you told you gave us

559
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: a recommendation about going to bed angry, and we're getting

560
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: different reports from different couples about what they decide to do.

561
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: Some say, yeah, go to bed angry. It's okay, but

562
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: we could still kiss each other good night, but I'm

563
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 1: pissed at you. And then others say, no, there's too

564
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,959
Speaker 1: much tension. We have to resolve this before we go

565
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: to bed, right.

566
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 6: Yeah.

567
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's not one size fits all. Yeah, but

568
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 4: I will tell you one thing. If I have had

569
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 4: on sentimental Sundays as of red wine, I have the filter.

570
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 4: I have the sensor up here that says, do not

571
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 4: bring up any conflict. Is that red wine makes for

572
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 4: a loose tongue. And then you say something and then

573
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 4: you're like, why did I say that?

574
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: Red wine? Yes, everything.

575
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 2: I think we've gotten better at the going to bed

576
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 2: angry thing. I feel like even if we haven't resolved it,

577
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 2: and certainly we have gone to bed several times without

578
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 2: having resolved it, but I still feel like like I

579
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 2: can hold your hand in bed, or I can you

580
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 2: know we can?

581
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 3: Yes, And it's.

582
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 5: Play a little foot seat or what, yeah, a.

583
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 3: Little something, just like hey, I'm still here. I'm not leaving, you.

584
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: Know, Yeah, and Jeff, we have to get over it

585
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: quick because we got to work together in the morning,

586
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: all right.

587
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 4: And you know, But and couples, it's healthy to have conflicts.

588
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 5: It's healthy, all right.

589
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: Next question here, and this is a practical one. A

590
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: lot of couples deal with how do you handle your finances?

591
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: Shared accounts, separate accounts? What do you all go with?

592
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 8: We have both personal and shared, Yeah, and multiples of

593
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 8: there's full there's there's full transparency. Yeah, he doesn't log

594
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 8: into mind because there's really nothing there.

595
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 6: That's okay.

596
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 8: Everything's in the joint so we can both get in

597
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 8: there and yeah, we.

598
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 4: We have no issues with that. And as well, same

599
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 4: thing with our cell phones. We share each other's pass pods,

600
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 4: but we don't go into each other's. And again, full

601
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 4: transparency in everything.

602
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: Do you all do the life life three sixty? Thing

603
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: where you all or something where you know where the

604
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: other one is all the time? You can track.

605
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 8: Them fause she knows where I am at all times.

606
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 5: I have no idea of where she does use the

607
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 5: app and I don't. It's amazing there.

608
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 2: And how do you all divide the household chores like cooking, cleaning,

609
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 2: to children, pets, et cetera.

610
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 4: I take care of all the pets. We have two.

611
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 4: We have two dogs, so that's my job, right.

612
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 6: But he doesn't brush their teeth.

613
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 4: I don't brush their teeth. She does that, and she

614
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 4: gives them medication. I take care of the outside. I

615
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 4: do all the heavy labor. I move the cars, takes

616
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 4: out the trash, take out the trash. I do the

617
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 4: dishes during the day, you know. But she does all

618
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 4: the vacuuming and laundry right. And cooking, even though I

619
00:31:58,640 --> 00:31:59,760

Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I use I use spices.

622
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 4: When we first got together, I think I lost about

623
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 4: thirty pounds with her cooking.

624
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 8: She would cooking. I was like a bra vegan. She

625
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 8: would buy my sho She would.

00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 3: Do you like to make cast roles? I like to

629
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 3: make cast roles.

630
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 8: Oh, cast roles are good. I need bigger casserole dishes.

634
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,959
Speaker 8: on likeay.

635
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 4: So that's how that's how we divvy up stuff, and

636
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 4: we divvy up everything, and we take the initiative to

637
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 4: just do whatever we can.

638
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 5: So you're amazing.

639
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 4: She she will go into the house and just clean

640
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 4: out a whole basement. That's her, that's her thing, and

641
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 4: it will make it amazing. Hyper focused, hyper focus.

642
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: Let me confirm again, how is the laundry specifically handled?

643
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: Because couples give us different answers here, who handles the laundry?

644
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 6: I do it all. Yeah.

645
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 8: One time I asked Jeff quickly, honey, can you go

646
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 8: to the dryer, grab Nova's socks, throw them downstairs and

647
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 8: turn it back on.

648
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 6: And I think.

649
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 8: He paused, didn't know where the dryer was and nor

650
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 8: where the power button was.

651
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 5: That's true.

652
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 4: Wow, And I was like, I'm focused on there, I'm

653
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 4: focused on others.

654
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 8: There.

655
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 6: I haven't asked them to go in there.

656
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 3: And that's funny.

657
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 7: All.

658
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: Next question here, now, how much alone time or time

659
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: away from each other do you find you need.

660
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 6: Alone time? As you know, with young children, you don't

661
00:33:58,440 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 6: get any alone time.

662
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 8: However, I feel like, well, I'm alone when I'm at

663
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 8: work because I'm not with my children and my family

664
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 8: and with my patients. But that feels alone to me

665
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 8: sort of, if that makes sense, because I'm not.

666
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, but alone time I would assume from one another.

667
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 6: From one another.

668
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll answer that question if I may take. Okay,

669
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 4: I don't need any alone time. I love being with them.

670
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 4: I love being with all six of my children. You know,

671
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 4: that's my thing. I just absolutely love it. However, we

672
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 4: do get alone time when I travel, when I work

673
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 4: in the city.

674
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 5: You know, we are separated.

675
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 4: In that way, but then we're on the phone zooming

676
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 4: that whole time. But it does feel good. I have

677
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 4: to be honest with you, to be away from you

678
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 4: for a day or two because more than enough, because

679
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 4: I miss you, and then when I see you, it's great.

680
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 8: I miss the kids, and I honestly have trouble sleeping

681
00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 8: when he's not next to me.

682
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 6: I'll put a pillow there and pretend it's him so

683
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 6: I can fall asleep.

684
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 3: That's really sweet.

685
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 5: Used to it, you think to yourself, except except the

686
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 5: pillow doesn't drew.

687
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 2: All right, I'm going to ask the therapist. Have the

688
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 2: two of you ever been to couple's therapy?

689
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 5: Did we do couples therapy once? Oh that was my

690
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 5: ex wife. No, it was my ex wife. Yeah.

691
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 4: No, we've never been to couple's therapy, though we've talked

692
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 4: about it a few times.

693
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 8: My cousin, God bless her, brought it up and she said,

694
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 8: but you should do it while things are good, and

695
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 8: be proactive and do it prophylactically. And I said to

696
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 8: my cousin, you are absolutely right. It's better to have

697
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,959
Speaker 8: the foundation there in a relationship with the therapist.

698
00:35:55,680 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 6: That you like before it's needed. And I do believe

699
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 6: in that.

700
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 5: How do you guys feel about that?

701
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 7: We?

702
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: I think we're the same as what Amberger said. We

703
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: wanted to go. We've been wanting to go find a

704
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: therapist while we're in a good place and just go

705
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: talk out and have a good time and get a

706
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: referee in the room. And but Jeff, you you have

707
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,959
Speaker 1: been that for us. I mean, really, that's we talked

708
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: some things out with you for everybody to hear. We

709
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: didn't mean for that to be the case, but that was.

710
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: We enjoyed that.

711
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, I think it's a very healthy thing. I'm sorry, Amy,

712
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 5: Oh no, I think so too.

713
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 2: And this has been my longest relationship outside of a marriage,

714
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 2: and I think it's cool to work on it before

715
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 2: you take that next step, which is something I hadn't

716
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 2: done before.

717
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's it's been good.

718
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: We're fans. Next question for you all here. Have you

719
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: ever threatened to break up, leave, or get divorced in

720
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: the middle of a heated argument?

721
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 5: Have you? No? No?

722
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 8: Well, and neither of I right, you use the words

723
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 8: I'm done, but you has picked it up. Our son

724
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 8: were like, I've done, I've done, and I'm like, I

725
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 8: don't really know what that means.

726
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 9: Like I think in the early I think, I think

727
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 9: in the earlier years, maybe in the first two or

728
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 9: three years, I might have said something like that, you know,

729
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 9: but out of frustration I didn't mean it.

730
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 4: But the advice I give folks, and we've already talked

731
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 4: about that, is to not throw that divorce word around

732
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,439
Speaker 4: because many times it's an empty threat that can turn

733
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 4: into something that can be very lethal and hurtful.

734
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 5: So I don't think I've said anything like that.

735
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 3: Is done.

736
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 6: It upsets me.

737
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 5: Well, she has.

738
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 4: She has abandonment issues. Quite honestly, we're being true about that.

739
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 4: Her parents divorced very young.

740
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 6: Did much of the raise.

741
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 5: Her father raised all the children. That's why when she.

742
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 4: Met me and found out that I was raising four children,

743
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 4: you know, as a father, she said, hey.

744
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 5: Sexy, oh that's great. Be it ever so terrible? There's

745
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 5: no place like home?

746
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: Do do you have? Does Amber have an equivalent? Right?

747
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: I mean you said he'll say I'm done. But does

748
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: Amber say anything? Doctor Gard in the middle of a

749
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: heated argument that anything like that, she's got nothing. Well,

750
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: good for you, no, no, ye should talk groups.

751
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 3: So what is the sweetest thing your partner has done

752
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 3: for you?

753
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 6: He always brings me flowers, yes, and not just like

754
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 6: one bouquet, two or three.

755
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 8: Yes, And I'm like, okay, that's enough, that's enough, that's enough.

756
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 6: And then they just keep showing up, especially in the summer.

757
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 4: In the summer, every Saturday or Sunday, I bring her

758
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 4: red roses and then he.

759
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 8: Gives them to our sun to then get on one

760
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 8: knee and hand to me like he'll follow the directions.

761
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 6: And that's it's just so stinking cute. And I'm like,

762
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 6: thank you.

763
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 5: Yeah.

764
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 4: And the most romantic thing that you've done for me

765
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 4: is been an incredible mother along with their mother as

766
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 4: far as raising my first four children and then giving

767
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 4: me two more children. I think that's the most romantic thing,

768
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 4: that's the most.

769
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 1: That is so do these guys, that is really guys.

770
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm We'll say it. We'll talk about it plenty here

771
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: with all the interviews we're doing, but we have gotten

772
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: so much out of these interviews we're doing with couples.

773
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: Really for us who still fairly new and navigating a

774
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 1: lot of things, there's a lot of hope that comes

775
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: out of the conversation with you. All. This is we've

776
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,760
Speaker 1: known you a long time doctor guard dear, but Amber,

777
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: you've I guess you've added to the package here in

778
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: a way we didn't. We didn't even realize it could

779
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: be improved this much.

780
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 5: But it's uh my secret weapon. A lot of people

781
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 5: don't know about her.

782
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 4: But you know, when you invited us, I think this

783
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 4: is the first one of the first interviews we've done together.

784
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 4: I think there are a few magazine articles way back

785
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 4: when that we did for some friends. But you know,

786
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 4: when you requested, of course, we said.

787
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we do appreciate that. We just have a

788
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: few more questions to get to here, and here is one.

789
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: What would you all say to couples, a couple that's

790
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: considering marriage, what is it that you would take the

791
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: opportunity to tell them to make sure you consider this,

792
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: you think about this, or even maybe you something you

793
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: want to warn them about. A couple considering going down

794
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: the aisle, what is it you would want to tell

795
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: them first?

796
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 8: I would say, take note that it doesn't change much

797
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,720
Speaker 8: in your relationship. It's not a magic on off button.

798
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 8: There's nothing digital about marriage. It's it's all analog. It's

799
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 8: it's this, it's from point A to point B, and

800
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 8: it's it's a constant journey. And so the actual marriage

801
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 8: doesn't change your relationship if you ask me in your head,

802
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 8: if it does, that's great. However, it takes two to

803
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 8: tango and it's a journey and nothing. Really the change

804
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 8: is constant, right, that's the only constant. Growth is optional,

805
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 8: So the growth part is important.

806
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:35,439
Speaker 5: I would say the first thing is prenup be don't

807
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 5: believe it or not. We don't have a pre nup.

808
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 4: So I'm just joking on that, but the lawyers would

809
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 4: probably say, no, that's really good advice. I would say friendship.

810
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 4: Have a friendship first. Let that be the foundation. Of

811
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 4: the relationship, even if it's you know, a very physical attraction.

812
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 4: But make sure that the friendship is in place and

813
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 4: stays in place throughout the marriage. And of course transparency

814
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 4: and you know, whatever you expect from your partner, make

815
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 4: sure that you are ready to deliver the same thing.

816
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, people thinking about what they're getting, not what they

817
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 2: need to be giving.

818
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 3: That's very important. I like that.

819
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 2: So everyone describes the honeymoon phase of a relationship, and

820
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 2: then you hear these very non romantic things like and

821
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 2: then love is a decision, But how do you keep

822
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 2: the romance alive after so many years?

823
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 8: I feel like I just met my soulmate, and I

824
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 8: cannot believe that it's already been more than a decade

825
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 8: that I've been with this amazing person.

826
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 6: So truth be told.

827
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 8: For me, it's very easy that I look back and

828
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 8: I think, like, I'm still enjoying my time.

829
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 6: It's Jeff, and I'm still.

830
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 8: Getting to know him, and so it's not that hard

831
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 8: on my end, because I truly do believe in soulmates.

832
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 6: I believe in that.

833
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 8: I believe in they say the light between us.

834
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 6: We spoke about it when we were saying.

835
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,959
Speaker 8: Our vowels that we're energies that are moving around each other,

836
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 8: and when you meet that right energy, it just works.

837
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 4: I would say, as we said earlier, make it, you know,

838
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 4: put it on the checklist as to the things that

839
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 4: you need to do to stay in love.

840
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 5: And stay romantic. I think that's really important.

841
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 4: The other thing that I think that really worked for us,

842
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 4: as I know that it's worked for the two of you,

843
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 4: is that we work out all the time, and so

844
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 4: it's important for us to stay healthy for ourselves, but

845
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 4: for one another to be present, to be able to

846
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 4: work through whatever medical issues may be, to support one

847
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 4: another in that way. But you know, staying physically and

848
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 4: spiritually healthy I think really does help in a romance

849
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 4: of a relationship.

850
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 2: I love that, and I love that the two of

851
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 2: you were willing to sit down and talk with us

852
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 2: and so we can learn more about I just I

853
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 2: have been so fascinated by how everybody who we've talked to.

854
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 3: Who are all happy, have figured out how to be happy.

855
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 2: But I you know, look, you guys are black, white, Jewish,

856
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 2: non Jewish. You know, a twenty seven year age difference.

857
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 2: You had everything working against you, and yet look at you.

858
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 5: That's right, that's right.

859
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 6: It was tough.

860
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 4: The greatest love story never told.

861
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 5: Yes, right now it's being.

862
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 3: Told, and it's going to end a lot better than

863
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 3: j LO.

864
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: And I'm still.

865
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 3: Okay, they could still reconcile, right.

866
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 5: Well, I'm hoping for them.

867
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: Actually, to me, I am genuine hoping for those two still.

868
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because they had that friendship thing. I know.

869
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 2: I know, well doctor Jeff Gardier, doctor Amber Brodie who's

870
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,240
Speaker 2: soon to become doctor Amber Guardier.

871
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 5: Yes, that is the one contention that we have.

872
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 4: I think it's taken way too long for her to

873
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 4: do that, right, that is the one conflict that we've had.

874
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 4: Like I give you that that stink face when you say, oh,

875
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 4: I'll do it.

876
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 5: I'm like.

877
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,479
Speaker 6: So busy with patients. There's like this much time.

878
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 8: You have to go to the Social Security Office, right,

879
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 8: go to the DMV. I have to change three DA.

880
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: Licenses three doctor guardian three.

881
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 6: That's a lot EA licenses.

882
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 8: Like that's like you know the Drug Enforcement Agency of

883
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 8: the United States.

884
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 4: Well, you better do it, you better do it while

885
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 4: we still have a drug enforcement We're not going to

886
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 4: get into politics here, but you know what I'm talking.

887
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: You know what this wasn't on the list, but I'm

888
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: curious about that. How important do you all think it

889
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: is a woman that changes her last name once they

890
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 1: get married. Robock has a look on her face right now.

891
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 2: I've been married twice and I've never changed my last name.

892
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 2: It certainly worked out well for me in that sense.

893
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 2: Stand in any lines ever, that would have been annoying.

894
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,240
Speaker 5: So I think it's I think it's up to the couple,

895
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 5: but you feeling.

896
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think one of the things that you were

897
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 4: talking about was actually hyphenating.

898
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 5: Right for Brody, guard.

899
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 8: Take my middle name, which I'm sorry, my last name,

900
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 8: which happens to be used as a first and middle

901
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 8: name anyway, Brody, we all know many Brody's. Throw it

902
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 8: in the middle, that's easy, and then put Guardier at

903
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 8: the end.

904
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 4: Right. Brady never asked her to do it, but it's

905
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 4: something that she said she would do. And because she

906
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 4: said she would do it, then I would if you

907
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 4: insisted on keeping the last name Brody, I wouldn't have

908
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 4: a problem with that. But Guardier sounds a whole lot nice.

909
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 6: So don't you think it's a fully French name.

910
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 4: Well, there you go, and it's a Haitian name, and

911
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 4: we need you in the Haitian core.

912
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: It would be weird though, to doctor Guardian all the

913
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: doctor Guardia in my head is bald and has glasses.

914
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: I can't imagine picture.

915
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 3: Just Brody Guardier, Brody gard Okay, there you go.

916
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: All right, guys, really, it is so good to see

917
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: you all's faces, and we hope to see y'all in

918
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: here in studio possibly, but certainly when you all learn

919
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: the city. Let us know. Doctor Guardier, doctor Brody, thank

920
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,560

00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 4: Right, great to see you both, Amy and TJ.

922
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 5: Thank you, I thank you
