It's everybody else's signature. 39 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: It's not mine, So it's any words. Indeed, like I 40 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: when you popped on there, I was just like, that's 41 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: kind of what I want my home office to look like. 42 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: There you like a book with my face on it? 43 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: Like I see your book right there?

Yeah, should they hook 62 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: up on the first date? Is that frowned upon from 63 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: a guy's standpoint if the woman does that? Or is 64 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: it me you mean you're being a little churchgoer here? 65 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: You mean hook up as in have sex, go all 66 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: the way. Yeah, yeah, I guess I guess we should 67 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: clarify what um so the hell men think community has 68 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: just exploded. There's a wild debate going on right now. 69 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: Some people say yes, some people say no. Some people say, um, 70 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: they that yes, they absolutely judge somebody for going that 71 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: far on the first date. But I want to get 72 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: your guys opinions on this um As a gentleman going 73 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: out on a date, first date with the lady, Dan 74 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: will lead with you, what are you looking for on 75 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: a first date? And would you even pursue? Be honest? Brother, 76 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: be honest with you, would you even pursue physical conto 77 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: physical intimacy on the first date? Okay, being honest. If 78 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: you're a guy and you're attracted to someone, obviously that 79 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: is in your mind somewhere. It's it's not like you go, hey, 80 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: I'm really attracted to as a person. I hope it 81 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: doesn't go any further now. I I also think though, 82 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: the first thing I look for on any first date 83 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: is if there's any sort of compatibility. Now, if there's 84 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: no compatibility, then you don't that doesn't cross your mind. 85 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: But if you if there's some sort of compatibility. There, 86 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: you're getting along, she's laughing at my dumb jokes. I 87 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: think this is great. Then obviously that will start to 88 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: any guy's mind. It's gonna cross your mind. I mean, 89 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: I mean, and you guys know it crosses your mind 90 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: to meet. You don't say no, you know it does. No, No, 91 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: it crosses your mind for sure. But what you're not 92 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: You're going up to the pool, but you're not jumping in. 93 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: The question is would you judge a woman not? It's 94 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: not does a guy I want to have sex? Yes? 95 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: He does, So I'll say when I was younger, I 96 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: used to think that was something I wasn't interested. I 97 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: would think if a girl wanted to, you know, was 98 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: having sex on the first date with me, then clearly 99 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: she would have sex with somebody else on the first date. 100 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: So when I was younger, I would think that that 101 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: bothered me. But I've I've grown older, and I've matured, 102 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: and I've realized that, you know, but sured as much 103 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: as I probably can, and I've realized that there's so 104 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: much more to relationships than that. So to judge somebody 105 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: on feeling their way through life just doesn't make sense. 106 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: So I actually have a lot of friends or quite 107 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: a group of friends that have that did it on 108 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: the first date and are happily married with kids for 109 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: for for a long time. So the question is what 110 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: I judge them? No, in the past, I may have, 111 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: but I don't think that should be a deal break. Okay, wait, 112 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: so the question was do you judge the woman not? 113 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: Does it cross my mind both both? Like if you're 114 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: going out on a date, like, let's be honest here, 115 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: So if I'm going on on a date, like you're 116 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: you're wanting to be physical with this person, that's probably 117 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: why you're going on a date with them. You're not 118 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: going on on a date with somebody you're not physically attract. 119 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: But are you trying to lead the night in that direction? 120 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: Or are you are you respectfully keeping a physical distance 121 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: in like honoring getting to know somebody, wanting to move 122 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: it in the physical element, like wanting to have sex 123 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: with this person, but down the road tonight is just 124 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: about seeing if our chemistry is on and if I 125 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: really like you, Well, I don't think I don't think 126 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: you should try and lead a date whatsoever. I think 127 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: you just gotta see where it goes. You shouldn't go 128 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: into it with a predetermined notion of, Hey, I'm really 129 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: attracted to her. I'm gonna start, I'm gonna throw a 130 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: few feelers out there. I'm gonna say this and see 131 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: if she responds in a certain way or not. I'm 132 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: more of the like mind of, hey, let's just see 133 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: where the night takes us and and if you get along. 134 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: But I'm also with Dmitri. I think it's when I 135 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: was younger, I agreed the same thing. It was, Oh jeesus, 136 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: she's gonna sleep with me on the first day. Who 137 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: else has she slept with on the first date? But 138 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: then the same thing as you get older and I 139 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: don't know about wiser, but you just get older and 140 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: so have been around a little bit, you, you know, 141 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: before it gets to that point, if there's some sort 142 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: of connection with this person. I appreciate that you kind 143 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: of made a similarity between us, Dan, but I guarantee 144 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: there's women that would have sex with you on the 145 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: first date that would not have sex with me on 146 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: the first day. So appreciate question. I have a question, 147 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: were you guys really thinking about that when you were younger? 148 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: Like m I wonder what she's going to think about 149 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do this, and you know, what's she 150 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: going to think? It wasn't I'm going to do this, 151 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: and what's gonna think? My my? In my perfect world. 152 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: When I was younger, I was a bit of a 153 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: romantic and I wanted to like if I was if 154 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: it was somebody that I was interested in having relationship with, 155 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: my preference would have been to not do it on 156 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: the first date. But as I said, I've realized that 157 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot when you're younger. There's a lot of 158 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: stuff that importance that you put on certain things that 159 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: really in life that it's not as big a deal 160 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: as you may be thinking. And that's your preference, not 161 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: what you could have been taught maybe by your parents. 162 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: Just got deep that got yeah, that was good, Uh, 163 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: not what I saw. I don't think that I was 164 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: taught with my parents, but from my parents, like don't 165 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: do something on a first date. I think I was 166 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: taught to be a gentleman um so maybe that factors 167 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: into it somewhere. But yeah about your parents rick to 168 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: like respect and like obviously you're talking, I think what 169 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: were you taught like first night date ethics? No, definitely 170 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: not taught first night date date ethics. But I think 171 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: going into with what I was taught was be respectful, 172 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: be nice, you know, treat the woman very you know, 173 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: like a woman, and then you know, you know, then 174 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: figure out what's going on in terms of what's the 175 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: next move, right, I don't think I really I think 176 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,599 Speaker 1: personally I would always try to depending on how the 177 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: date goes. I agree with Dan, you know, you just 178 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: kind of start putting your feelers out there and then 179 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: is it going good? And you know what's the next step? 180 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: You kissed? You, you know, you go to the bar 181 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: the next time or or whatever, but and then see 182 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 1: where that leads us. But um, I think going in 183 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: that was something the way that I was brought up, 184 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: and those were the things that that was telling me 185 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: inside to not go have sex the first time. That 186 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: makes sense. Yeah, So Dr Harrianna, you guys remember dr V. 187 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: DRV is wonderful And she commented on this post because 188 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: we had this, we shared this on her how Many 189 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: Things podcast community, and she said, if the chase is 190 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: after a lasting, loving, intimate relationship, then sleeping together soon 191 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: after meeting doesn't make a big difference. But if the 192 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: chase is after sex, then yes, of course it will 193 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: make a difference because the goal has been met. So, UM, 194 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: I agree with what Dmitri said, is I if I'm 195 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: going on a date, I'm going after the chase of 196 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: pursuing something longer term with this person. Um is how 197 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: I would look at it. So I actually, like Demetri said, 198 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: I actually I prefer it to be like maybe more 199 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: of a traditional guy and that I don't think I 200 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: would force it or even try to steer it that 201 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: way on night one. Um, just because in my own mindset, 202 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: to be truthfully honest, in my own mindset, I'm like, 203 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: just what you guys said, like how many other guys 204 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: have she slept with on date one? Or is this 205 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: is this the type of woman that I want to 206 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: end up with. I have a question. Let's say we're all, 207 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: you know, because we're all kind of on the same page. 208 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: What if you get to that point at the end 209 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: of the night and it's going around well and she 210 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: wants to take it. Would you, as a guy then 211 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: go no, no, no no, no, I don't feel real good 212 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: head first. Would you would you tell the lottery that 213 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: you have enough money? No? You would? Are you guys 214 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: being serious? I'll say, you really like this girl, would 215 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: you would you actually go for it? Or would you um? 216 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: Would you out of respect and to maybe like with 217 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: your values or like be like, I don't want to 218 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: go there yet, you know, like you having a conversation 219 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: where they're during dinner or when you're meeting of how 220 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: many times have you had tex? Is that is that 221 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: a differentiator? You're like, Hey, you know, look, I think 222 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: if that's coming up, if you're having that conversation on 223 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: the first date, I'm out. I'm like, okay, I don't 224 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: want to be question. But then again, okay, let's be honest. 225 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: It says she's this gorgeous girl and you're and she 226 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: says to you know, every guy is gonna go really 227 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: it means double yeah, yeah, exactly, gonna Let's add here's 228 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: another on a show or where I heard it. But 229 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: it's like, if a girl tells you how many guys 230 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: she's been with you, multiply it by three. And for 231 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: a guy, if he tells you how many girls he's 232 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: been with you, divide it by three. You guys ever 233 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 1: heard that? Yeah, I could. I could see that I've 234 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: done what I've done. What Dan is saying you know 235 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: you could a zero to mine, but you added to 236 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: the beginning, not to the end. Okay, So UM, last 237 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: touch point, last touch point on this because I want 238 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: to move on. Um, because we actually have another guest 239 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: coming in that's gonna help Rick with appending issue. Um. 240 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: But what do you think my lasting point on this is? Um? 241 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: I don't believe I would pursue it truthfully on night 242 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: one on a first date, UM, because my goal with 243 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: the date is not such to just have sex with 244 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: this person. My goal with the date would be to 245 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: discover the person, be curious about the person and about 246 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: what the possibility of of a partnership with this person 247 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: could be. And so respectfully, I would keep a physical 248 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: distance and not try and lead it that way. And 249 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: that's just my personal preference. Um. Even though the person 250 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: might be insanely attractive and of course I want to 251 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: get there, I think I would probably pump the brakes 252 00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: on that for a couple of days. You guys, Yeah, 253 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: it's like you're idiot. Hey, Look, if I was a woman, 254 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: I date you, That's that's the kind of guide one 255 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: a date. UM. I just know I agree with you 256 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: to a certain extent, but I'm also like a hundred 257 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: years old. So I look at it this way. I 258 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: don't know if I got tomorrow coming, but I got 259 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: today right now. So what you said, I think it 260 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: has changed with the age too. Yeah, yeah, but definitely. 261 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: But to that point, see, I wouldn't pursue it. If 262 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: there was a connection and we felt that way, then 263 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: I would probably I would probably do it. I mean, 264 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: look around, like I said before, they're they're bigger things 265 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: to to face. Life on the world around us is 266 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: burning right now. I don't think having sex on the 267 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: first date is the worst thing that someone can do anymore. 268 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: If you have that connection, fine, and if you find 269 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: out later that I was a mistake and that's not 270 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: somebody that you want to spend the rest of your 271 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: life with, then you adapt from that. But to go 272 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: in there saying this is this is a deal breaker. 273 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: I'm not doing it because it's only the first time. 274 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: This bigger fish tofright, I have one Look, but do 275 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: you think this is I mean, this is how many things? 276 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: But do you think it makes that big of a 277 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: difference to the woman if you were to back off 278 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 1: and in her mind, if she's thinking I want to 279 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: have sex with him, and you're like, no, is she 280 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: thinking that okay, I respect him? Or is she going 281 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: what's wrong with him? Um? Producer Tori, Tori, can you 282 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: answer that question? So say, say you're on a date 283 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: with a guy to Tori and you're really vibing with 284 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: this guy, You're really into him, and you're like, dang, 285 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: I usually don't do this, but like, I'm really attracted 286 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: to this guy and you want to take it physical 287 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: that evening and he says, I'm just not comfortable with this. 288 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: I actually want to I love that you're attracted to me, 289 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: but like, I think we need a little more time 290 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: till we get to that stage. What are your thoughts 291 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: on this guy? Then? That's so hot? Really? Yeah, that's sexy. 292 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: Why is that? Because you gotta work for it and 293 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: it's like you got some some backbone in you and 294 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: you're not just like the guy that you just think 295 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: is the cookie cutter guy. Now what if what if 296 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: it doesn't make a difference. If he's doing that because 297 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: he truly believes that and he wants to cherish a relationship, 298 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: or is he doing that because that's kind of part 299 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: of his game and he knows it's going to be 300 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: real sexy to you. It doesn't matter. It's still sexy 301 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: unless it's like he's not attracted to you, then you 302 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: could kind of maybe go there. But I think it's hot. 303 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: I know I have friends who have who are this 304 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: is when I was younger too, This is like ten 305 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: years ago, who were just like when you were twelve, 306 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: who are just party as hell, and and they wanted 307 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: to get out of that kind of thing of like 308 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: pursuing sex on the first night where they would intentionally 309 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: not shave their bits so that they were like, oh, 310 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: I'm too embarrassed ab what was going on down there, 311 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: So again I just can't have sex tonight.

I have one more question I want to 328 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: ask you guys, So, if you're not looking for sex 329 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: in the first date, or maybe you are but doesn't 330 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:05,360 Speaker 1: work out, in is the societally acceptable night to have 331 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: sex where there's no judgment, no connotations like how Saturday? Saturday? 332 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:17,239 Speaker 1: How many? How many dating? Dating somebody? Um, according to 333 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: your world's in perspective, is like an agreeable number to 334 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: like to consummate physically, you know, to have sexual relations? 335 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: Three three, It just seems like the right number. I 336 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: don't even do do people even still think about that? Like, 337 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: if you don't have sex on the first date, then 338 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: are you gonna say, all right, well, it's like I'm 339 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: gonna stop drinking. Okay, how many days I don't know, 340 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: But if you get to day two, that's like I 341 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: can do day three. So when do you finally go 342 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: like I need to at least wait. I think once 343 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: the first date is gone and you don't have sex, 344 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: then you just let the chips fall where they may. 345 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: I mean it's like, is it do you then go? Okay, 346 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: I've gotta wait until number eight, number five because do 347 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: you honestly think so much is going to occur and 348 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: those other three dates that will change something or I 349 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: don't know. I think if there's an attraction there and 350 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: you've already given it one shot with the first date, 351 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: then I think once you get past that first or 352 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: second then it's like, then, yes, what's the difference? What 353 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: what exactly are you counting to? And on the flip side, 354 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 1: you could get to a point where like, oh, it's 355 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: stay four and we haven't done it yet, and then 356 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: you start adding pressure onto it and then it's not 357 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: going to be you know, as fun or as natural 358 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: as it would be just to just to do it. Rick, 359 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: what are you thinking? Brother? I think the second date 360 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,719 Speaker 1: is pretty legit. I agree with Dan though. I mean 361 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: it's like, who's really counting? I mean, if you do 362 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: the first date, cool, you set the groundwork. Now she's 363 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: after you again, and it's like, what you know, if 364 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: things are kicking off the right way, then to go ahead, 365 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: for go for it. I see what you guys are saying, 366 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: because there's also a component of like, if you guys 367 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: are vibing with each other, obviously there's enough of a 368 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 1: vibe that you're on a second date. And if you're 369 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: vibing with each other, you kind of know, like, hey, 370 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: whether it's date three or date six, like this is 371 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: probably gonna happen. Yeah, right, So doesn't matter, like you 372 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: were saying, demti doesn't matter if it's two, or doesn't 373 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: matter if it's four. In in the scope of the relationship, 374 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: probably it doesn't matter anymore other than just telling the 375 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: story of what night you hooked up on, whether it 376 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: was two or four. And who keep who are you 377 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,199 Speaker 1: keeping a score for? The fact of the matter is, 378 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: if Date one bothers you, once you get to day two, 379 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 1: you've already agreed that you like each other enough to 380 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: go out again, So then don't who you keep a 381 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: score for? Just let the chips fall. Date one bothers 382 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: me truthfully Date one, That's what I mean though, But 383 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: once you're past that, you've agreed that you that there's 384 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 1: something more there, so just let it on day two, three, four, 385 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: or five six? What if you go grab coffee? What 386 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: if you go grab coffee and then go for that, 387 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: don't do it in a coffee shop. Now you're now 388 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: you're defining what the date is. So maybe maybe the 389 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: first date is let's grab coffee, finish the coffee, and 390 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: then I'll say tomorrow, and then okay, let's get thank you, 391 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: and then you're going to dinner that night. Yeah, it's 392 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: a Kenny ban your situation. Soup isn't a meal. That's 393 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: not a date. We had soup. That doesn't count his 394 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: date too. Um. Does anybody have any like horror stories 395 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 1: of first dates from the past they want to share? No, 396 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: I'm perfect. I mean that's pretty good. No. My my 397 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: current wife, I mentioned, we've been together since our first date. 398 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: We were like and haven't separated since our first date. 399 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: That's awesome. So, Um, but that was we She lived 400 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:51,959 Speaker 1: in New York, I live in l A. We had 401 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: spoken over the phone for hours at a time for 402 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: a couple of months prior to it, and then I 403 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: went to New York for work and I said, Hey, 404 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: let's finally meet in person, and UM went out and 405 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: and uh went out on the date that night, and 406 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: then you know, a few months later she ended up 407 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: moving quitting her job and moving to l A. Could 408 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: you tell on that first date, like, I'm really into 409 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 1: this this girl, like this is this is different ours? 410 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: Our relationship was weird. By the end of the night, 411 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: we were at the bar on the rooftop of this 412 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: hotel I was staying, and we were referring to each 413 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: other as our husband and wife. Yeah, it was it 414 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: was two people we were meeting, like, and it was 415 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: just we knew we both knew right then, so that uh, 416 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: and it was the first time I had experienced anything 417 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: like that, and so yeah, I kind of knew right away. 418 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: It was just an immediate kind of connection that, yeah, exactly. 419 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: And I think truthfully though, too, what really helped us 420 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: was those phone conversations long distance, getting to know each 421 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: other without you know, seeing her pretty face in front 422 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 1: of me. It was just getting to know that person 423 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,959 Speaker 1: and sharing things with each other. So then when we 424 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: finally did meet each other, it was almost like all 425 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: that groundwork had been laid, you know, those first few dates, 426 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 1: phone dates out of the way, whatever. It's so when 427 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: we did finally meet in person, it was like we 428 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 1: already knew each other and knew so much about each other. 429 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: M M, yeah, I get what you're saying there. Yeah, 430 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: I remember. Wait, Brooks, have you had a bad first date? 431 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 1: You brought that up. You must have one. UM. To 432 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 1: be honest, I never dated much, truthfully, like I I've 433 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: shared it on this show. From from twenty to thirty. 434 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: I was full. I was full weighted career pursuit of 435 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: hockey UM that governed every decision in the course of 436 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 1: my day. And I had no balance, no counterbalance of 437 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: social life. So I've dated very little. UM. But the 438 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: dates I did go on, I just remember this like 439 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: I remember it being so f and painful. I would 440 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: get on a date and five minutes into the date 441 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 1: I didn't like the girl, you know, and I'm like, oh, 442 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: dear God, like all right, grinding here for another hour 443 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: and forty five minutes or something when all I want 444 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 1: to be home is resting because we play tomorrow.

I know I'm not 447 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: gonna marry her. Just let me eat a steak and 448 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: you know, kind of just have a nice conversation.

She puts it 458 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: on speaker phone and he's like, hey, I'll let you 459 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: know that your dog is thrown up.

I don't know, um, but 504 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: I laid my car down and then he just split 505 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: it with me and I ordered or he ordered a 506 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: latte and I had water, So technically I paid more 507 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: for him because he had a drink and I didn't. 508 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: What did that do for you? Were you? Like you asked? 509 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 1: I was like, is this a date or is this not? 510 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 1: But like we had like spent like a whole walk, 511 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: like we spent an hour prior. Then we got lunch, 512 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: and I was just like, yikes, I don't know what 513 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: this is. This is confusing. And then I but the 514 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: more I talked to people, they were like, you friend 515 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,479 Speaker 1: zoned him by, or maybe he just thought you were 516 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: an independent woman and wanted to be an independent woman. 517 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: So he's like, I'm going to let her. If she 518 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: wants paid for half, I'll let her pay for half. 519 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: Maybe he felt he might insult you if he made 520 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: you do that, because what happened, But what happened after that? 521 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: Did he ask you out again? To point? Did he 522 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 1: ask you out again?

Like 525 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: I'm so confused, and not saying that him not paying 526 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: for a bill, it just it just made me more. 527 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: I get it.

Maybe then 543 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: that's another way to just be like, hey, at least 544 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: I bought your dinner. It's fine. You know, it just 545 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: didn't work out for me. I agree. I think that 546 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: the one offer from the from the woman is nice. 547 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,479 Speaker 1: I would I don't ever in the past, I had 548 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: never let that um you know, when I was single, 549 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: I never let that deter me. I would always pay. 550 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: I would always be the gentleman and pay no matter 551 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: what um. The offer was always nice. If it was 552 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: a second offer or she insisted, then you start to 553 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: get that friend zone field. But I think it signifies 554 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: that it's an actual date. Yeah, if you if the 555 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: guy pays, yes, yeah, I agree, has has um. This 556 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: is just curious, Like Tori, what would happen if you 557 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: go on a date with a guy and the check 558 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: comes and the guy just chills. They're like, check comes, 559 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: he doesn't reach for his wallet, he doesn't like grab 560 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: it before you can grab it, like waiter, sets it 561 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: on the table, and the check just chills there. What 562 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: would happen? Well, that's kind of what happened on this date. 563 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: So I was like fiddling with my like wallet for 564 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: a bit, like I was like, am I gonna this? Like? 565 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: Am I gonna have an overdraft fee? Because I might? 566 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: And I was like okay, and then I like laid 567 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: it down and then he put his card on top 568 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: of mine. So ladies fidget for a couple of minutes 569 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: and hopefully he lays it first, and you're not in 570 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: my situation. That happened last time. Last time I went 571 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: out for drinks with Rick. That happened, okay, And he 572 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: didn't reach for it at all. I didn't even read 573 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: my wallet. I knew it was going to be an 574 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: easy one. Let's wall it up north and get out 575 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: of persons. But I think that also goes to who 576 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: invited who is. It's similar to like a client lunch, 577 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: Like if you're taking out your client and he pulls 578 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: out his credit card, she pulls out his creit. It's 579 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: like no, no, no, like I got this, I invited you. 580 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: This is what's going on, and I will pay you know. 581 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: I feel the same way with the date, like if 582 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: you invited that person out or hey let's grab coffee. Okay, 583 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: you buy the coffee or at least damn near offered 584 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: to buy it. Unique question then, so because this doesn't 585 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: happen as often, um, Tory, Let's say you ask a 586 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: guy on a date. A woman asked the man on 587 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: a date. Is she then expected to pay red? Uh? No, No, 588 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: I think that he gets up to the gun. I 589 00:30:53,800 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: lost it. Tory is gonna call me out. You start 590 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: to a guys, so have to you see as Ricky's 591 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: dealing with a lot with his big toe and everything. Yeah, thanks, No, 592 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: I mean I've like I've I've opened about this, I've 593 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: like slid into d m s before. We're like, you've 594 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: approached people, but I've never been like you me, let's 595 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: go mm hmmm. So I've been asked out before and 596 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: the girl said, well no, I mean you know, I asked, 597 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: so let me get it. And I said no, no no, 598 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: I said, you asked. That was step on to step two. 599 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: Now this is my turn. Now I get to buy it. 600 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: So thank you? Well played good? Yeah? Yeah, And I 601 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: think I think if the girl or whoever asks should pay. No, 602 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: you just went literally literally just flip flopping. I feel 603 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: like I'm on an on ramp in Los Angeles right now. 604 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: Question for you because undoubtedly in your life you've been 605 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: asked out by a girl. Oh no, come on, yeah, 606 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: come on, Okay, So who pays? Well, I don't know. 607 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: You get asked out? And I have always it's feel 608 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: about that. Let's go with that. How do you feel 609 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: if the girl asks you out? Oh, if I like her, 610 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: that's great. Yeah. I don't think that's an issue. The 611 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: paying paying for the bill, I'm always I maybe it 612 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: was just the way I was raised. It's like the 613 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: man is supposed to pay so um. And also it's 614 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: like I get I don't know, it's it's almost um um. 615 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: If I'm not paying, I'd feel bad to like see 616 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: a waiter, see the woman put her credit card down 617 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 1: on me, just go alright, great, yesh. So even that 618 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: it just emasculates me. It's like, I just you know, 619 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: I think the guy should always pay, even if the 620 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: girl asks, ow, yeah, what if she like ordered surf 621 00:32:54,120 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: and turf and that doesn't but then let me see, 622 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: okay in the handbook, now you went, so you have 623 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: to at least split it. That's it. It doesn't matter 624 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,239 Speaker 1: who you're with. I get uncomfortable even like if we 625 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: were to if I were to go out with a buddy, right, 626 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: said Brooks. You and I go out and you get 627 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: like a steak and a lobster, and I get like 628 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: a cheeseburger, it's still uncomfortable to me to be like, well, 629 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: I mean you had I will split that right down 630 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: the middle, like there's just no haggling, Like it's it's 631 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: very uncomfortable.

And 643 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 1: the very first meal, he orders like a club sandwich, 644 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: like a twelve dollars or we're at a nice restaurant, 645 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: steakhouse something. He gets like a club sandwich or something whatever. 646 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: It was ham and cheese, I don't know.

And so I called 748 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 1: a buddy of mine and I was actually one of 749 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: the guys, said, you know, I think you may have 750 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 1: gout like I had it in my finger and said 751 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: it was just this extreme paine and it absolutely.

Um, and I 756 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,879 Speaker 1: have been a little bit more so since COVID. But um, 757 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 1: liver do you eat liver? And oregan? No? Higher?

I've 764 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,959 Speaker 1: only had it once. And through the trip We've gone 765 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 1: for about a week and it just got worse and 766 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: worse and worse. And I couldn't even get I wear 767 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 1: like van slip bombs for the most part um and 768 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 1: I couldn't even get my foot into the into the 769 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: vans to do when I was bobbling around. It was 770 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,880 Speaker 1: really it was swollen but not read. And you know, 771 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 1: I started googling it what was gout and they said 772 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 1: it's very red and it looks super ugly, and so 773 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, maybe it's knocked out. And I called a 774 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,320 Speaker 1: friend and they said that it was meta for metator 775 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,800 Speaker 1: soul filia or something along those lines. So yeah, it 776 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,879 Speaker 1: could be. It could be a lot of different things. 777 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,439 Speaker 1: So I'm I'm always a believer in you know, when 778 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: you have a problem going to a physician or a 779 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,319 Speaker 1: physician assistant or a nurse practitioner and having a work up. 780 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,840 Speaker 1: I did an episode once on The R where No 781 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 1: Wiley's character spent thousands of dollars because he was afraid 782 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 1: of missing something and and he he ended up finding 783 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 1: something so rare in this patient it paid off. But 784 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 1: typically we're not supposed to do that. It's like it's 785 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:50,879 Speaker 1: called shotgunning. The patient shot and the patient. But but 786 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:52,879 Speaker 1: you know, in your case, when was the last time 787 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,759 Speaker 1: you had a physical exam and a full workup of 788 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 1: you know, blood, all the blood tests that you know, 789 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 1: testosterone that gets into the issues of sex because if 790 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 1: you have a low testosterone level, that can be addressed. 791 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,360 Speaker 1: So I got your age, should you know, probably have 792 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 1: this testosterone checked and have a complete blood work up 793 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 1: and uh yeah, even so, and uh he was just 794 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 1: flexing in a plaid shirt like I don't know. And also, 795 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's been interesting for me during COVID is that, um, 796 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:33,320 Speaker 1: I stopped eating sugar, which I love, So I love sugar. 797 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: So I stopped for the last three months, and I 798 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 1: feel a lot better. And I usually think it's kind 799 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 1: of you know, crap that people say that, but I 800 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 1: really do sleep better and I really do feel better 801 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,800 Speaker 1: and I have more energy. So I have had literally 802 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,920 Speaker 1: no sugar. I like, look at labels and all that. 803 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 1: So I'm I'm, I'm do you drink soda. Yeah, okay, 804 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,279 Speaker 1: I each your class. I'm glad. I'm glad I asked you. So. 805 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 1: I just thought, of course, at Harvard's Kennedy School of 806 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 1: Government called soda politics, and I love it when somebody 807 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,800 Speaker 1: says they drink soda, because then I can scare the 808 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 1: hell out of them and say there was a study 809 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 1: done of men who drink one sweet and soda a 810 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,719 Speaker 1: day and it had an end or the number of 811 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 1: participants was in tens of thousands. Was published in the 812 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,399 Speaker 1: journal Cardiology, and it showed that men who drink one 813 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 1: sweetened soda day one soda is sugar, not diet soda, 814 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:36,360 Speaker 1: had increase in heart disease. So if you do anything 815 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,200 Speaker 1: besides there's two things. As a physician, I recommend don't 816 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,400 Speaker 1: smoke cigarettes because we just know it takes years off 817 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: your life. And two, don't drink soda. Drink water because 818 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 1: there we have so many studies now that show that 819 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,320 Speaker 1: is harmful for men and women, but it's particularly harmful 820 00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 1: for men. What we think happens is that um, the 821 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:04,239 Speaker 1: high fruit toast corn syrup in the soda um, when 822 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,640 Speaker 1: you consume it goes directly into your bloodstream. It causes 823 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:13,240 Speaker 1: fatty liver and also the liver processes to hide fruit 824 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 1: toast corn syrup in such a way that it raises 825 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,360 Speaker 1: your triglycerides. So if you could do some things to 826 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:24,400 Speaker 1: improve your health, you know, without really like harming your lifestyle, 827 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 1: I would say the first thing to do would be 828 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,960 Speaker 1: to not drink soda and cut Sure, you know you 829 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:32,800 Speaker 1: don't have to cut all sugar out of your life, 830 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 1: but just not drinking soda has a huge impact on 831 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 1: people i've seen. Dr Neil. Thank you for your time. 832 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,920 Speaker 1: I appreciate we'd love to have you back sometimes. Thanks.

Here this I'm being like a karate kick. 837 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,479 Speaker 1: They're coming off the cover because yeah, that's the actual book. 838 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 1: It's called. It's called Step Off My Journey from Membo 839 00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,359 Speaker 1: to Manhood, And I'm gonna cut you off real quick 840 00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 1: and then you can get back to it. My fav 841 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:21,879 Speaker 1: the title is my favorite because people know Dan from 842 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,759 Speaker 1: whatever you know, uh from uh MTV uh and all that. 843 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,320 Speaker 1: But anybody that hasn't figured it out. Yet he is Tony, 844 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 1: the male membo from Seinfeld clients take iconic episode, and 845 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,880 Speaker 1: he kept the famous line was step off. So anyway, 846 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,719 Speaker 1: I'm sorry that the title alone sells well and even 847 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,800 Speaker 1: where how we came up with that. I was approached 848 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:42,960 Speaker 1: to write the book, and I'll make this quick. I 849 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,840 Speaker 1: was approached to write the book, and this guy that 850 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:46,520 Speaker 1: approached me to write it kept saying I wanted to 851 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,919 Speaker 1: be Dan. I wanted to be more Dan. I wanted 852 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:50,959 Speaker 1: to be positive. I wanted to be so, I said, 853 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,040 Speaker 1: I don't you know. We had never met in person. 854 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:54,959 Speaker 1: We had spoken on the phone a few times. I said, 855 00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I want 856 00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,040 Speaker 1: to know, like, what do you think I would be 857 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 1: like in Purse? And because you keep saying you wanted 858 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:02,520 Speaker 1: to be more Dan, I don't know what the hell 859 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,000 Speaker 1: you're talking about. And he said what he had asked 860 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,879 Speaker 1: around the publishing house, he goes in as a whole, 861 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,040 Speaker 1: we kind of think you'd be a lot like the 862 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,480 Speaker 1: character you played on Seinfeld. And then he went on 863 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,399 Speaker 1: to say all these nice things about me. But all 864 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,400 Speaker 1: I heard is Dmitri said, all I heard was he 865 00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,319 Speaker 1: called me a membo, a male bimbo, and that's all 866 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 1: I heard. So as he was saying all these other 867 00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,440 Speaker 1: flattering things, I said, I'll write the book. I want 868 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,880 Speaker 1: to write the book. And he's like, why, it's because 869 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 1: I think there's so much more to me than that. 870 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,000 Speaker 1: So but I told him, I said, I want the 871 00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 1: title to be my journey from Membo to manhood. So look, 872 00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,839 Speaker 1: I hope that's what achieved. I achieved throughout the story, 873 00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 1: because I even right in the introduction, if this it's 874 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,319 Speaker 1: Membo to manhood, I hope If it's just Membo two 875 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 1: older Membo, that wouldn't be good. We just need to 876 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,720 Speaker 1: make sure that we get to the manhood part um. 877 00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,359 Speaker 1: But it was it was really um. Just writing it 878 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,880 Speaker 1: was a cathartic experience for me because like as guys, 879 00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,680 Speaker 1: you know, it's I wanted it to be sort of 880 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,760 Speaker 1: this journey of taking my life as a as a puzzle, 881 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,879 Speaker 1: tearing it all apart, and then taking the stories that 882 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 1: really seemed inconsequential that for some reason, I remember this 883 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,120 Speaker 1: Little League story from when I was ten, I don't 884 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,760 Speaker 1: know why, and I sort of took all those stories 885 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,360 Speaker 1: from my life and sort of pieced it back together 886 00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,319 Speaker 1: to see if that puzzle still looks the same that 887 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,839 Speaker 1: I think it does, because I said, truthfully, the way 888 00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,560 Speaker 1: I think of myself, the way other people think of me, 889 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 1: and the way I think other people think of me 890 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,279 Speaker 1: are three entirely different things. So I at least want 891 00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 1: to know I am who I am by the end 892 00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,840 Speaker 1: of this. So that's sort of the And the book's 893 00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,279 Speaker 1: broken down into three parts, my foundation, fame, and fatherhood. 894 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,720 Speaker 1: And I was telling somebody the other day, so truthfully, 895 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,319 Speaker 1: the hardest part for me to write was the fame part, 896 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 1: because the publishers wanted, we want stories about being an actor, 897 00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:46,759 Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm not going to sit there 898 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,759 Speaker 1: and write, well this one time when I was on 899 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,960 Speaker 1: the set with Curts the alley we did, I didn't 900 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 1: want it to be that, so you know, I tried 901 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:59,720 Speaker 1: to And another thing I told them also, each chapter 902 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 1: I'm writing it basically for guys, I don't want to 903 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,960 Speaker 1: read a chapter that's longer than five pages, like, let 904 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,640 Speaker 1: me be able to read that at five And so 905 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,920 Speaker 1: my chapters are short. They're anecdotal stories about this point 906 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,600 Speaker 1: in my life. This got me to this, and it's 907 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 1: let's put a little bow on the end of you know, 908 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 1: every story, and here's what I learned from it. So um, 909 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,320 Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. It was a great 910 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,959 Speaker 1: cathartic experience. And yeah, there's some there's some Seinfeld story 911 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,600 Speaker 1: and there the whole Even the way I got that gig, 912 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,479 Speaker 1: I got a call from my manager who then said 913 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,919 Speaker 1: it's when I was working for MTV, said, Larry uh 914 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,520 Speaker 1: David and Jerry Seinfeld want to meet with you. They 915 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,960 Speaker 1: they I thought I was auditioning for the show was 916 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,359 Speaker 1: my favorite show at the time. So I go in 917 00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,759 Speaker 1: and it was in the afternoon that afternoon and they're 918 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,320 Speaker 1: sitting in there, just the two of them, and so, okay, 919 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,399 Speaker 1: this is great. We sit there and shoot for ten 920 00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,840 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes, and then I was like, what my do 921 00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:53,600 Speaker 1: you guys have sides? What do you want me to read? 922 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,160 Speaker 1: And Larry just goes, no, I just need to see 923 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,200 Speaker 1: if you can put two words together. So we'll see 924 00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,799 Speaker 1: you tomorrow. We're starting tomorrow. And so that was sort 925 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:03,759 Speaker 1: of how that. I was like, Okay, so I got 926 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,040 Speaker 1: the job. They're like, yeah, you got the job, so um, 927 00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,840 Speaker 1: and but what a what a great experience that was, 928 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:11,960 Speaker 1: And just you know, to meet your as what you 929 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,880 Speaker 1: know just from working with comedy pros, like when you 930 00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,800 Speaker 1: get there. There was no ego there. That was Larry's 931 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,480 Speaker 1: whole thing and Jerry as well. They just wanted whatever's funniest, 932 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,879 Speaker 1: say it, whatever's funniest, just do it. And if they 933 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:27,800 Speaker 1: had told me a story about there was one episode 934 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 1: of Seinfeld where the episode where Jerry couldn't remember his 935 00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,320 Speaker 1: girlfriend's name, but he remembered it rhymed with a female 936 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,520 Speaker 1: body part and he couldn't remember, couldn't remember, and the 937 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,000 Speaker 1: writers were having trouble coming up the joke wasn't landing, 938 00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,359 Speaker 1: so on the in front of the odysse at night, 939 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,040 Speaker 1: couldn't come up with the so the warm up guy 940 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:45,960 Speaker 1: had asked the honest, does anybody have a joke that 941 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,320 Speaker 1: maybe they could use her? What's a what's a female 942 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,040 Speaker 1: name that rhymes the body part? And some guy in 943 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:54,320 Speaker 1: the crowd said mulva and the crowd erupted and laughed, 944 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,760 Speaker 1: and Larry said that use that, Okay, writer, stop writing, 945 00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,919 Speaker 1: just use that, And I said it's funny. I told 946 00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:01,799 Speaker 1: my wife again. You know there's some guy like at 947 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,279 Speaker 1: a bar in Milwaukee that sits at the end of 948 00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:08,200 Speaker 1: the bar. You know that episode that was me came 949 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 1: up with that, I was Mova, that was my idea. 950 00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,560 Speaker 1: That's the that's the brilliance of it, though. They that's 951 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:16,480 Speaker 1: why the show was so successful because they do you 952 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,919 Speaker 1: want the best. When the egos get involved, then it's like, well, 953 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:21,759 Speaker 1: now you're not going for the best product, You're just 954 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,480 Speaker 1: going for the best. Congratulations. And you know, luckily because 955 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,400 Speaker 1: that episode, the one, the one when you were on 956 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,399 Speaker 1: you stole a lot of scenes in that in that 957 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,960 Speaker 1: and so when people reference that episode, they're all referencing 958 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,920 Speaker 1: you the and and you know what, I had no 959 00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,839 Speaker 1: clue what the hell I was doing. Sometimes, I mean 960 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,520 Speaker 1: I even and I've never really told anybody this other 961 00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:44,800 Speaker 1: than my wife. I watched that episode. Sometimes when I 962 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,439 Speaker 1: see it a rerun and I cringe, I'm like, oh 963 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,680 Speaker 1: my god, I'm so bad. This was so bad. And 964 00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:53,080 Speaker 1: people I'll meet people that are going, oh, the way 965 00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,640 Speaker 1: you created the character and I was just trying to 966 00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,880 Speaker 1: remember the lines. That was the first. That was the 967 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,839 Speaker 1: first sitcom m I had ever done. I've done dramas before, 968 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:04,719 Speaker 1: but that was the first sitcom. And of course I'm 969 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,279 Speaker 1: working with the the uh, you know cast of Seinfeld. 970 00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:12,040 Speaker 1: I was so nervous. It was just like so you know. 971 00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,360 Speaker 1: And the weird thing about that too, that show, for 972 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,720 Speaker 1: the longest time was one of their highest rated shows, 973 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:18,640 Speaker 1: and that I would always tell people it was because 974 00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:22,319 Speaker 1: of me, but it was apparently nothing else was ever 975 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,600 Speaker 1: on after that. It wasn't until like their super Bowl 976 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:28,000 Speaker 1: episode that for some reason that that sort of stayed 977 00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,960 Speaker 1: up there. But yeah, you do an episode of sign 978 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,400 Speaker 1: for when like the show I did for MTV for 979 00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,560 Speaker 1: six years, when our first two years we were there 980 00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:38,319 Speaker 1: number one show in the world's seventy two countries, and people, 981 00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,880 Speaker 1: would you know, they'd recognize me. The day after the 982 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,319 Speaker 1: Seinfeld episode aired, I was in Hollywood for a cast 983 00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,760 Speaker 1: physical for shows doing in Vancouver and I got recognized 984 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:50,799 Speaker 1: walking out of the doctor's office to my car. Some 985 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,719 Speaker 1: guy yelled and called me a membo. I said, it's 986 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,759 Speaker 1: the difference between the power of network television and the 987 00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,400 Speaker 1: number one show on television and basic cable percent. And 988 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,400 Speaker 1: that's why I interrupted you before, because if you were 989 00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,400 Speaker 1: to say step off to somebody right now, that is 990 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,680 Speaker 1: exactly where their mind will go. They're like, oh, step off. 991 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:11,799 Speaker 1: Oh I gotta make some people of sandwiches. They'll stot 992 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,640 Speaker 1: just rattling off random lines from that episode, and then 993 00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,600 Speaker 1: those two words, which is why it's a perfect title. 994 00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,799 Speaker 1: Those two words bring people straight to that well. And 995 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,120 Speaker 1: the weird thing with that too was they had they 996 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,400 Speaker 1: had a line because I've been given credit for writing 997 00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,120 Speaker 1: that line step off. I didn't write it. I didn't 998 00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,160 Speaker 1: go to Larry David and say I want to a 999 00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:34,319 Speaker 1: line change. It was the guy in the audience. They 1000 00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,040 Speaker 1: had a joke that wasn't landing, and then they were 1001 00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:38,840 Speaker 1: trying to come up with something. So then Larry asked me, 1002 00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 1: he goes, you were like twenty three, you work on MTV. 1003 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,000 Speaker 1: What do you what would kids your age say? And 1004 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:45,959 Speaker 1: I don't even that was like the second or third 1005 00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 1: thing I said that I said was step off. And 1006 00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:52,200 Speaker 1: then Jason Alexander said it with his George Costanza you 1007 00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,000 Speaker 1: know New York accent, and the crew laughed. So then 1008 00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,800 Speaker 1: Larry was like, yeah, just say step off. That works. Wow, 1009 00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,839 Speaker 1: these these little stories are so cool awesome. Yeah, that's 1010 00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 1: all I got. Those are the only two stories I got. 1011 00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:08,120 Speaker 1: It's only four bags, dude. One quick question, because I've 1012 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,960 Speaker 1: I've been asked about possibly doing a book. Um, and 1013 00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:14,520 Speaker 1: had a conversation about it, and off, do you think 1014 00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:21,960 Speaker 1: that's good? Um? What did you learn about yourself in 1015 00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,400 Speaker 1: doing the book? Oh so much? And I'm not just 1016 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,360 Speaker 1: saying that it's you should do it. If you have 1017 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,240 Speaker 1: the opportunity to do it, you should do it, because 1018 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,040 Speaker 1: you know, you make your notes. Here's okay, here's what 1019 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,360 Speaker 1: I want the book to be. Here's what But it 1020 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,400 Speaker 1: sort of takes a life of its own. And um, 1021 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,160 Speaker 1: as I said, it's it's anecdotal stories about my life, 1022 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,640 Speaker 1: where I where I came from, and who I've become. 1023 00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,719 Speaker 1: But it it almost, at least for me, almost took 1024 00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,400 Speaker 1: on a spiritual thing in the third portion of the 1025 00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,200 Speaker 1: book for me and talking about parenthood and my life 1026 00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:58,560 Speaker 1: and and who I've become now. And I didn't really 1027 00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:02,160 Speaker 1: initially plan on that to me, um, when I first 1028 00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:05,160 Speaker 1: started out writing the book, but I sort of you 1029 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,360 Speaker 1: got into this and saw what journey it was taking 1030 00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,319 Speaker 1: me on. So you know, if nothing else, I mean, 1031 00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,360 Speaker 1: even if you're not going to publish it, do it 1032 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,200 Speaker 1: because you learn a lot of stuff about yourself. If 1033 00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:20,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna be completely honest with the readers and yourself 1034 00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,600 Speaker 1: to write it, um. And I think that's the only 1035 00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,759 Speaker 1: way to do it, because then if not, then you're 1036 00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,680 Speaker 1: just like, Okay, well what stories should I right now? 1037 00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:32,200 Speaker 1: And you're trying to be um, but you know it's 1038 00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,520 Speaker 1: to me too. I in reading a book that you 1039 00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:37,719 Speaker 1: would write, I'd want to hear all those stories that 1040 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:39,759 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about when you scored a 1041 00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,799 Speaker 1: game winning goal and oh then we what did you know? 1042 00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,240 Speaker 1: You want to hear all those other nuances that people 1043 00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:50,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't know about. And um, sook a little bit that 1044 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:53,279 Speaker 1: I've dug into it. It is and I've done I've 1045 00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,160 Speaker 1: done presentations for sportsmen's dinners and stuff like that. When 1046 00:54:56,160 --> 00:55:00,239 Speaker 1: I do the presentations of like my hockey journey. Um, 1047 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,800 Speaker 1: there's certain things that I learned that I never knew 1048 00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,960 Speaker 1: just in like you said, taking little segments of your life, 1049 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,080 Speaker 1: and when you line these up, you're like the first 1050 00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,680 Speaker 1: one I did, I'm like, holy, I learned I was 1051 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:14,319 Speaker 1: I was responsible for very little of my success. Yeah, 1052 00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:16,719 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god. The people that have 1053 00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,520 Speaker 1: touched my life from the age of thirteen, fifteen seventeen, 1054 00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:23,280 Speaker 1: nineteen twenty four, all of these people down this list 1055 00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,279 Speaker 1: have all elevated me in some way that I'm like, 1056 00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,239 Speaker 1: I'm not anywhere without all of these people, Like I'm 1057 00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,280 Speaker 1: responsible for ten percent of my success. So in doing 1058 00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,160 Speaker 1: your journey, if even and somebody to even just encouraged 1059 00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:36,880 Speaker 1: me to do it. A friend encouraged me to do it. 1060 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:41,040 Speaker 1: Sit down and write your book to understand yourself, and 1061 00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,200 Speaker 1: then if you want to publish it or you want 1062 00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:45,320 Speaker 1: to do something with it, do it. But just the 1063 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,600 Speaker 1: process of sitting down to write that you'll really find 1064 00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:50,960 Speaker 1: a lot and learn a lot about yourself. So that's 1065 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:54,160 Speaker 1: why I asked that questions you should and you touch 1066 00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,680 Speaker 1: upon people that are responsible for it. I even get 1067 00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:01,640 Speaker 1: to that in the book where it's my brother, My 1068 00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,279 Speaker 1: oldest brother, he's ten years older than me, went out 1069 00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:06,719 Speaker 1: one night. He likes to go out as much as 1070 00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,279 Speaker 1: any everybody, but doesn't. He's more of the like, I'll 1071 00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,120 Speaker 1: stay home, doesn't really drink. That one out one night 1072 00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,279 Speaker 1: when I was still in high school, to a bar 1073 00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:16,640 Speaker 1: he'd never been in before in our hometown and hasn't 1074 00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,960 Speaker 1: been in since, and saw a guy he went to 1075 00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,080 Speaker 1: high school with. That guy said, what's going on with 1076 00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:22,960 Speaker 1: the family? He said, Oh, Dan's a quarterback for the 1077 00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 1: high school. He goes, oh, I'm a graduate assistant coach 1078 00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 1: at University North Carolina. Haven't sent a tap there.

My senior year 1081 00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,959 Speaker 1: in North Carolina, I meet a producer from MTV because 1082 00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,680 Speaker 1: Janet Jackson was in concert there. I keep that guy's card. 1083 00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:39,879 Speaker 1: I moved to l A after graduation. Call that guy. 1084 00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:41,640 Speaker 1: He hooks me up with a person in l A 1085 00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,680 Speaker 1: working for MTV.

What would have happened with me? You know, 1091 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,400 Speaker 1: entire journey culminated with being on the How Men Think podcast? 1092 00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,560 Speaker 1: Exactly if your brother doesn't go to the bar, we're 1093 00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:10,440 Speaker 1: not sitting here today.
