WEBVTT - The First Date Debate

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Hell I Suck At Dating with Dengler and Jared Haven

0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>and I Heard radio podcast. Hello everyone, welcome to a

0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>new episode of Help I Suck at Dating. I'm the

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Younglert joined Well, I guess we're recording this episode from Tahoe,

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 1>just like we did last week's Valentine's episode. We have

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:23.479
<v Speaker 1>Jared and Tori here, great episode for you guys. We're

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 1>going to dive into a few listener emails and trying

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>to help solve some people's dating woes that just seemed

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:35.200
<v Speaker 1>to be omnipresent. They're never not around. People are always

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:36.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be struggling with this stuff. So let's go

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.600
<v Speaker 1>ahead and tackle one at a time. Huh was a

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>good word at the big words? You know? You know

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 1>it's funny. Sometimes I plan to say big words, but

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 1>sometimes they just come to me, and that one came

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 1>to me. So, um, jare is that vernacular? Is that correct? Vernacular? Vernacularly? Vernacularly?

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 1>I told Tori before the podcast started to have from

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Mike ready to go, because we want a female perspective.

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.880
<v Speaker 1>And the first question I ask her the mic is off,

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's just clearing my throat. And I also

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>wasn't listening to you guys, but yes, sure, okay, great cool. Anyways,

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Jared Jared at the top of this he had some

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>questions for us. He said, if you were to go

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>on a first date, he wasn't sure what kind of

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>questions he was supposed to ask on that day. And

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I think that a lot of you guys might be

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 1>struggling with the same issue. So Jared was able to

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>find a wonderful piece of online literature that kind of

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 1>gives eighteen uh first date questions advice. Yeah, we know

0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.959
<v Speaker 1>that first dates are they could suck, you know, not

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:35.320
<v Speaker 1>as bad as suck a dating, but you know what

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they could potentially suck, and they're just hard.

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:39.320
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of anxiety, a lot of pressure, a

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of expectations. You love the idea that you never

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.120
<v Speaker 1>have to go on a first date again. Yes, yeah,

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean first dates are fun because there there's a

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>little sliver of fun because you're exploring new options. There's

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 1>excitement in the air. You have to kind of you know,

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 1>you want to dress up, make sure you look good.

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>But it's also just so stressful. Anytime you know, people

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>are like, oh, I'm going on a day eight tonight, Like, yeah,

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm watching Netflix tonight. I'm sorry you have to

0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>do this to yourself, Tory, what about you, dud, do

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:10.239
<v Speaker 1>you enjoy going on first dates? I love dates, first dates.

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I just love any and all dates, even if they're miserable.

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, this is so funny. I'm having such a

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.920
<v Speaker 1>good time. I guess we need to all be like Tori.

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:21.360
<v Speaker 1>But it's because I just love people. So I'm like,

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>if I can meet you and get to know what

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>your mom's name is, hit me every single time I

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:31.360
<v Speaker 1>see you, that's for other reasons. Show up on time

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 1>for once in your life and things will change. What

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 1>about you, Gin, Are you happy you never have to

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.160
<v Speaker 1>go on the first date again because you're married. There's

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>actually one specific moment when we were flying back from Europe.

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 1>But I was walking through the airport in Boston, Logan

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Great Airport. There's banners all over the place, Bruins, Patriots, socks.

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Everything was under construction. It was it was a nightmare. Anyways,

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 1>there was there was one moment I remember I looked

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>over and I don't remember exactly what I saw, but uh,

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>I had the thought that I was like, I'm so

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:57.919
<v Speaker 1>so happy. I don't have to go on a first

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.679
<v Speaker 1>date ever again. So you didn't like or states like Tori,

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I didn't mind them, but it's just like

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 1>there is like a potential for them to go horribly wrong,

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and there is humor in that sometimes. But it's like

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I just rather would not waste my time. You know,

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not I'm not twenty three like Tories anymore, so

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't really have as much time to waste. Yeah, yeah,

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean I get it, but I just think it's

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 1>so fun, like you're meeting a tire new person and

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.640
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be They're definitely a part of suck Army,

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 1>so terrible daters. They move in for first kiss when

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.359
<v Speaker 1>there's no chemistry, you you deal with. There's been a

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:32.519
<v Speaker 1>time where I went on a date and I didn't

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 1>realize I was on a date. You find this fun.

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 1>You find fun when someone goes on for a kiss

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 1>and you don't want it. Oh my gosh. It was

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>like having like kind of a heartfelt conversation. We were

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>taking a long walk along the beach and um then

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>like I was literally like yeah, you know, like my dad,

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>and then he just like literally like angled his neck

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>like torqued his neck to like try to kiss me,

0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, I'm literally mid conversation. So he

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 1>thought the my dad was an opening for she mentioned

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 1>her father. I'm in so then I just gave a

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>good stiff arm and I was like, what you blocked

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.680
<v Speaker 1>the kids armed? About five guys, All these poor five guys,

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.679
<v Speaker 1>they're scarred for life. Yeah most of what you're probably

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.279
<v Speaker 1>NFL players too, So well then I was like, you

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 1>want d one athlete look at this, But yeah, no,

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I think that was even one of my friends just

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:32.720
<v Speaker 1>called me the other day and she was like, yeah,

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>like the date went amazing, Like we had great chemistry,

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:38.159
<v Speaker 1>everything was amazing about it. I really liked him, but

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 1>he went on for the first kiss on like the

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.040
<v Speaker 1>first date, and I just kind of stiffed armed him

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 1>because it was just a little bit too much. And

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I was like, that's interesting because she felt chemistry, she

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:50.599
<v Speaker 1>felt um entertained by him in great conversation. But yeah,

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>it was like, I don't really want to kiss you

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>on the first date. I'm going to go out on

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 1>a limb and say, Dean has never been stiffed armed.

0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I've been stiff armed, so I don't even know how

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 1>to say it. STI I was speak of making the

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 1>way that he said stiff armed. Um, it's funny that

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.359
<v Speaker 1>she was saying that story. And one very specific example

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.159
<v Speaker 1>came back to my mind. I was on the first

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>date one same thing, great chemistry, wonderful conversation. Uh, and

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 1>at the end of it, like we both definitely wanted

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>to kiss each other, but we didn't kiss each other.

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>And then she texted me later that night and she goes, Hey,

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 1>I want to let you know I wanted to kiss you,

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.120
<v Speaker 1>but it just didn't feel something about like the first date,

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Like you just don't kiss on the first date. Some

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>people are like that, that's fine. But then I come

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 1>to find out later on, like on our second day,

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 1>that she has kissed someone on her first date before,

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 1>and knowing that she had chemistry with me and didn't

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 1>kiss me on the first date, but then she kissed

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 1>someone else on the first date, that kind of didn't

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 1>sit right with me. Yeah, because it's hypocritical. She said

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 1>to you that she doesn't kiss on first dates, and

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:48.040
<v Speaker 1>then she kissing someone to do it on the first

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>day and there was great chemistry there too. This is ridiculous,

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>So I got rejected. One time. It was she actually

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I knew this girl from work and she came over

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:57.720
<v Speaker 1>and we were just hanging out watching TV, and I

0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 1>thought that there was chemistry there and and we just

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 1>played tennis together and all that, and then I went

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 1>in for the kiss, and she like, she didn't stiff

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:07.839
<v Speaker 1>from me, but she kind of like did that where

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 1>she moved away and then immediately I wanted to throw

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 1>myself down a flight of stairs. So how did you recover?

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.479
<v Speaker 1>I threw myself down, Yeah, and then I recovered, and

0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 1>that's why I know. I was just like so awkward.

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:20.039
<v Speaker 1>And then we sat down for like in the half

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>hour and just talked, and then she left and I

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 1>never spoke to her again. No I didn't, but it

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 1>was never like I would never text her see if

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.159
<v Speaker 1>she wanted to hang out again, because it was clear

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 1>that she wasn't interested in like a romantic relationship. I'm

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.919
<v Speaker 1>not sure, but I wasn't going to test the waters

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>anymore because I felt so embarrassed. I didn't even want

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:41.560
<v Speaker 1>to open that door up out on that one. The

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.279
<v Speaker 1>nice thing about first dates is you just go to

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 1>like a bar, get a couple of beers. You both

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 1>are feeling a little bit more loose, little frisky, little lucy,

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.480
<v Speaker 1>A little lucy, little frisky. Yeah, I don't know why

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I said that anyway. So this is from a Love

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>and Harmony website, which is a part of the Harmony

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I believe. Yeah, advice from the e Harmony experts eighteen

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 1>first date questions from the experts, and they talk about

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:06.039
<v Speaker 1>how stressful a first date can be. So here are

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 1>some first daid questions. Uh. One they want you to

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 1>ask who are the most important people in your life?

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 1>You think it's a good first day question or too much?

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it's good. Excuse me, I think um a

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 1>going around right now. I think what you should do

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.240
<v Speaker 1>if you go into a first date with like premeditated

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>questions that are like oft a normal script of talking

0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 1>to someone like that, Like you don't normally ask people

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 1>who are the most influential people in your life. I

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:32.800
<v Speaker 1>think it's good to mix those types of questions with

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 1>like if you were in a zombie apocalypse, what weapon

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>would you choose? Like you have to have like a

0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit of mixture of serious like that and like fun,

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>weird like critical thinking questions. I agree should you script? So?

0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Should you script questions before? So in case you need

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 1>like a moment, like a segue you feel the conversation lacking,

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:49.920
<v Speaker 1>you can go to it. I think a lot of

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 1>people struggle because the first day can last reever, anywhere

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 1>from one hour to five hours. You know, it's like,

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 1>if it's lasting five hours, it's probably going well. But

0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of people sometimes struggle with conversation

0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 1>filler and stupid questions like like the chainsaw one can

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>lead to a longer conversation that one. For instance, I

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>feel like, like, I don't know, it just seems a

0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>little heavy for me, but I can see the appeal. Yeah,

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 1>it's hard because you can't really ask people like what's

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:12.800
<v Speaker 1>your relationship like with your parents because you never know

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the status of that. So I get that, like who's

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 1>the most important huh one? But yeah, no, like definitely,

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.680
<v Speaker 1>And so I get that. I get that you would

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.240
<v Speaker 1>have like a different angle to ask, which I think

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>is creative to take in that stance. But I don't know,

0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like I would prefer more like a

0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:39.200
<v Speaker 1>zombie apocalypse question versus being like who has influenced you

0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 1>the most? Because it's like that's kind of more of

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 1>when you're cuddling or you're like, well like the pillow

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.079
<v Speaker 1>talk where you're kind of having the heavier conversation, but

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 1>the dates just keep it light and it's a heavier

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 1>reason why they're asking. So they say, pay attention to

0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.280
<v Speaker 1>how your day answers this first question, how come more

0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 1>likely than not they'll have an instant reaction, like my parents,

0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 1>my college roommate, my kids. In addition to understanding the

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:01.680
<v Speaker 1>other person better, this question allows you to access his

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.760
<v Speaker 1>or her ability to form close relationships. I have a

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Bachelor and Paradise story that I want to share with

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 1>you as real quick, so let's go with it. This

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 1>most recent season, uh, Dylan and Hannah obviously were one

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 1>of the couples of the season, and Caitlin and I

0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:16.680
<v Speaker 1>for however long we were on the beach for We're

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.559
<v Speaker 1>a couple as well, and I remember I was talking

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Dylan one day. I was like, Dylan, like, what are

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 1>you in Hannah talk about all the time? He goes,

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Obviously he's gushing about her, because oh man, we talked

0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.560
<v Speaker 1>about everything. I was like, what's one specific thing that

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.320
<v Speaker 1>you like asked her recently? And he goes well, I

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.440
<v Speaker 1>just asked her what her family does for holidays. I

0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 1>was like, that's actually like a really good question, especially

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.080
<v Speaker 1>in that environment. You don't really you know, you can

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:37.959
<v Speaker 1>only know so much about them, So maybe that's a

0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:39.400
<v Speaker 1>good question for a first date. Is like what do

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 1>you do for the holidays? What do you what was

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 1>your family for the holidays? That kind of stuff, because

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.360
<v Speaker 1>I actually really like that. Yeah, it kind of like leads, uh,

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.320
<v Speaker 1>you to understand them a little bit better. At first

0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 1>I kind of judged you for thinking that was a

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 1>good question, but then as I got into it, you'd

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 1>be like, Oh, how important is you're feeling to you?

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 1>What do you do if we do continue this? Do

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I need to sacrifice what my holiday plans are? There's

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:00.959
<v Speaker 1>a lot of layers there. There's a question like this

0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 1>like that on here. One of the questions is what

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 1>do your Saturday's usually look like? So you think that's

0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>a good question, kind of get a gauge of like

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.959
<v Speaker 1>what their weekends are like today. That's a good one too, Uh.

0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.840
<v Speaker 1>It says how discretionary time He's used says a lot

0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 1>about a person. If she works or him works on

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 1>their day off, then they might be highly career oriented

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.120
<v Speaker 1>or maybe a workaholic. Now, if he or she spends

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.920
<v Speaker 1>the day coaching kids soccer team, it's a good bet

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 1>that he or she loves sports, enjoys kids, and wants

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 1>to help others excel. So you can gain a lot

0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 1>of access to that question. I would say, of the

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 1>people that answer that question, what do you do on

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 1>a Saturday, we're gonna say I don't know, I know

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:40.439
<v Speaker 1>this a little bit of that, Like, that's exactly what

0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I would say. I know it's like you would say that, Yeah,

0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 1>like I got my final eleven hike at Yes, somebody

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow a hike. It's actually pretty Here's a question, what's

0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.720
<v Speaker 1>the hardest thing you've ever done? And the scariest good

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.680
<v Speaker 1>fair day question. I think so too. What's the hardest

0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 1>thing you've ever done? Dean get through six months of

0:10:59.920 --> 0:11:02.959
<v Speaker 1>the podcast. That's fair Tor, that's the hardest thing I've

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:07.640
<v Speaker 1>ever done. Deal with us. That is very high up there.

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I would say my move from where I'm from, my

0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of like smaller town to Newport Beach would that also? Yeah?

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:21.679
<v Speaker 1>I had never felt more like what is going on?

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.079
<v Speaker 1>And I never cried more, and I don't cry. It

0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 1>was just lonely. You know. Another question, what's the most

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:31.719
<v Speaker 1>embarrassing concert you've ever attended? I like that question. That

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 1>is a good question. I think you've probably win this

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 1>one by a landslide, right, don't say you even do

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of embarrassing concerts. Embarrassing New Kids on the

0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Block Jonas Brothers. That is the furthest from embarrassing, the

0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:51.360
<v Speaker 1>most embarrassing concerpt. I don't know, see this is an

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.079
<v Speaker 1>embarrassing but I feel like people would judge me by

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.480
<v Speaker 1>me being like, oh, well, I've been to like twenty

0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 1>five Rob Thomas concerts. You know, feel like, Oh, that's

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:05.360
<v Speaker 1>that's interesting. That's weird. Why you know that's interesting? Yeah,

0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 1>that would be That's what I would say. Even though

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't find it embarrassing, I know people would be like, oh,

0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 1>that's that's a lot. I can't that's a lot. I

0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:13.880
<v Speaker 1>can't think of anything embarrassing that I've been too. Honestly, like,

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 1>the most embarrassing concept I ever been to was with

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.959
<v Speaker 1>I Heart Radio? Did New Kids a littlock? Is sorry?

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Furthest from embarrassing? Donnie Donnie Walburg like it's all the subject.

0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.200
<v Speaker 1>He would punch you in the face. It's difference of opinion,

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 1>That's all it is. Wait, can we circle back? Love,

0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 1>my heart love? What is it saying? Don't bite the

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 1>hand that feeds you? Absolutely? Absolute? I just like, I'm

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:33.839
<v Speaker 1>not a big top forty guy. So like, if I

0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.760
<v Speaker 1>see like Taylor Swifts performing a great performer, if we

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:38.839
<v Speaker 1>could have seen you, you guys, have everybody been seen

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:42.200
<v Speaker 1>him with Katie Perry at the Jingle Ball Oh my gosh,

0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:47.080
<v Speaker 1>get out of here. Was front and slousing a teenage dream,

0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:51.080
<v Speaker 1>screaming his head off. It was so excited to many.

0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 1>How many concerts a year do you go to? You

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.560
<v Speaker 1>knew every word to fireworks first? Oh my gosh, you

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.920
<v Speaker 1>were Yeah, you were there too. I'm trying to put

0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.360
<v Speaker 1>on a tough persona here. Okay, he started crying. I'm

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>pretty sure you started crying during How many concerts a

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 1>year do you go to? Let's go ahead and ball

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:05.959
<v Speaker 1>park this roight. I'm pretty lucky. I'd say at least,

0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, probably four or five. I'm very lucky, so

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.840
<v Speaker 1>like one every other month for the most part. Man,

0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:12.600
<v Speaker 1>that seems like a lot. Actually, somewhere like three or four.

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought you went to more than that. I feel

0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.960
<v Speaker 1>like you go to one a month. Uh, No, I've been.

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember less concert i've been to. Huh. I

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.680
<v Speaker 1>think it was Jones's Brothers back and like Thanksgiving And

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.960
<v Speaker 1>you're not embarrassed by that, No, because I look at

0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:25.320
<v Speaker 1>my wife and it's actually, you know what, it's a

0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.280
<v Speaker 1>fun time. So we went into a concert in Baltimore

0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:31.079
<v Speaker 1>and those people in that venue were losing their freaking

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.840
<v Speaker 1>minds over the Jonas brothers and it was pretty cool

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.760
<v Speaker 1>to see. Like literally the year three thousand came on

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 1>and everybody started jumping off and it's like that song

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:43.560
<v Speaker 1>where it's like and then everybody was like the these

0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:48.720
<v Speaker 1>thirty year old people like it's like, oh man, this

0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:50.720
<v Speaker 1>is insane. Him, I gotta go to a Joel Bro's concert.

0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you it's a good time. Next you should

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 1>be embarrassed for not going. I am. I am. Now?

0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.559
<v Speaker 1>Can we double dates one next time? I would love it, Honestly,

0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't mind it either. I think it'd be great.

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:01.760

0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:37.320
<v Speaker 1>and pursuits. Could be a photograph, classic car. Maybe it's

0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.160
<v Speaker 1>a tiny trinket that represents a cherished person or memory.

0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Putting your date on the spot might make the first

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.480
<v Speaker 1>answer a little awkward. To let them amend the answer

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.080
<v Speaker 1>as the night goes on. Yeah, that's a good Let

0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 1>him amend it later on. Maybe they have some under

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah I wouldn't. I didn't, Yeah I would. I would

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 1>say one of mine, if not my my number one.

0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Most is the stuff simbold that I got when I

0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:58.560
<v Speaker 1>was a little baby. Still have it, Still sleep with

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 1>it every single night. And what's funny, I was actually

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.840
<v Speaker 1>thinking about cutting one of his arms off last week,

0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:06.080
<v Speaker 1>but I was wondering if it's going to still hold

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the same amount of sentimental value if I do that.

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:13.480
<v Speaker 1>How your heart lately? Let me tell you why? Because

0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 1>on the parachute that I have, there's this it's called

0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.160
<v Speaker 1>like the d bag that you throw out and it

0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:21.680
<v Speaker 1>deploys your parents. It's a deployment back, and so you

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:23.440
<v Speaker 1>can like customize it. And I was thinking about cutting

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 1>off Simba's arm and using Simba's arm as the thing

0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.240
<v Speaker 1>that I grabbed throw my parachute out that way, every

0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 1>time my skyed, I'd have a piece of my most

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:31.720
<v Speaker 1>prized possession with me. But then do I want to

0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:33.320
<v Speaker 1>have a three like it's Simba that I sleep with

0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.120
<v Speaker 1>every night? I don't know. I need to think about

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.240
<v Speaker 1>these things. You know, what's your guys? If you were

0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 1>on a date and you heard somebody ask you to

0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.040
<v Speaker 1>tell you this story, what would be your nation? She'd

0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:46.440
<v Speaker 1>be like, daying this guy skydies, Yeah, I mean I would.

0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Here's the thing. It sounds morbid, but when he explains

0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.160
<v Speaker 1>it and makes sense, Yeah, I don't know, it still

0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:55.120
<v Speaker 1>felt work. I started because I should cut off my

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 1>stuff Daniel's arm, but he's also doing one of the

0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.760
<v Speaker 1>most dangerous things you could possibly do. Maybe not dangerous,

0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:01.920
<v Speaker 1>but stream. I started with the head. I thought about

0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 1>the head first, and I was like, I can't do

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 1>the head. That's that's a little much for me, and

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I snuggle with the head listen. But every night, can

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I ask a question because I don't know this obviously

0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:15.160
<v Speaker 1>with Peter and everything. Rabbit a rabbit's foot is that's gone?

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.040
<v Speaker 1>There no longer rabbit foot in a while. That's like

0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:19.640
<v Speaker 1>a that's the thing of a relic of the path.

0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there are still rabbit's foots out there because

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 1>rabbit foot the car around key chain be good luck. Yeah,

0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure it's still. I'm sure maybe not in California,

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:32.320
<v Speaker 1>but if you intend some other states, bless you. Do

0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:33.680
<v Speaker 1>you guys have any Do you guys have any lucky

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:40.320
<v Speaker 1>charms that you carry with you? Um? Just ashually? Then

0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:44.880
<v Speaker 1>we're getting really really cute on this episode of Well

0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 1>cut and Cute. Can I know why your stuffed animals

0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.600
<v Speaker 1>important to you? Like, what's the story behind it? Who

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.400
<v Speaker 1>gave it to you? When it's like the thing that

0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I've had for the longest amount of time. I got

0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.840
<v Speaker 1>it when I was like four for Christmas Love Lion

0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:01.280
<v Speaker 1>King and it's twenty four year old at this point. Like,

0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 1>how many things do you want that you can say

0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:04.159
<v Speaker 1>that you've had since you were like, everyone's got like

0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.320
<v Speaker 1>a baby blanket, or like a setting animal, or like

0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 1>a something that they have from a very young age. Right,

0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 1>do you have anything like that? You know for sure?

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:12.960
<v Speaker 1>But it's in a box and I don't still sleep.

0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:15.399
<v Speaker 1>It's definitely trying to think I have a prize position

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.159
<v Speaker 1>of like it's probably some sort of Superman memorabilio that

0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:19.639
<v Speaker 1>I have, and like, oh my god, I got this one.

0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I was like ten years old, you know, I wish

0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:24.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, what I really wish was that I got

0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 1>something I got like Tom Brady's jersey in two thousand one,

0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:29.480
<v Speaker 1>who tells him too, And I'd be like, oh, I've

0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:33.320
<v Speaker 1>had this for nineteen twenty years, but I didn't I

0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.480
<v Speaker 1>got a Terry Glenn Patriots or twenty years ago you

0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.640
<v Speaker 1>were how old are uh? Twenty years ago? Is? Yeah,

0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:39.879
<v Speaker 1>I love it. So I don't think you'd be able

0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:41.360
<v Speaker 1>to well, I guess when you're a kid, you wear

0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:43.400
<v Speaker 1>like an oversized jersey, so maybe you can. I'm not sorry.

0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I would fit in it, but it'd be like jersey

0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I got from Tales of One and he's still playing

0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.480
<v Speaker 1>at an incredibly high level. Um anyway. Uh. And then

0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:54.359
<v Speaker 1>we'll just do one more really random question. Uh, do

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.480
<v Speaker 1>you have a special place that you've liked to visit regularly? Now,

0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.320
<v Speaker 1>before you answer, the reason you ask this question says,

0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:03.240
<v Speaker 1>we've all got our go to sports that keep luring

0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:06.120
<v Speaker 1>us back, whether or spots excuse me, that keep luring

0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:09.880
<v Speaker 1>us back, whether they're funky coffee shops, scenic hiking trails,

0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:13.960
<v Speaker 1>or relaxing getaway weekends. Your date may have a local

0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.160
<v Speaker 1>park here or she frequents or European city that they've

0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.119
<v Speaker 1>been to regularly. Learning where your partner likes to go

0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:24.680
<v Speaker 1>will provide insight into the person's taste and temperament. Really

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.760
<v Speaker 1>good question. Do you guys want to answer that? First?

0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Rhode Island Rhoe Island. Of course, your family toys just

0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:32.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna be like yo semite or something. For sure, yo

0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.359
<v Speaker 1>semite because I grew up having family unions there every year.

0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:37.879
<v Speaker 1>And then also now that I don't live there in

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.960
<v Speaker 1>my hometown of Grass Valley, because it's just like that's

0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:44.680
<v Speaker 1>North California. It's like outside of like Tahoe area. Close. Yeah,

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:46.800
<v Speaker 1>we're really close for about forty five minutes. Did you

0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:48.879
<v Speaker 1>why don't you stay there and then come here to

0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.440
<v Speaker 1>squaw where we are now, like, did why why would

0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.439
<v Speaker 1>you not go home and hang out? Are you just

0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:55.679
<v Speaker 1>do you want me to just leave now? Well? Why

0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:57.320
<v Speaker 1>don't you could have like came a couple of days

0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:00.480
<v Speaker 1>early or something. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, given

0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I work, so it's not the easiest thing to work. Yeah,

0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:06.960
<v Speaker 1>you would never know a foreign concept to us. I know.

0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:11.600
<v Speaker 1>It's just there's such a thing as ours and um

0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:14.320
<v Speaker 1>full time, I get it. There's like two o'clock, there's

0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:18.720
<v Speaker 1>three o'clock, so now there's half o'clock, like four thirty. Yeah,

0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:24.720
<v Speaker 1>or like a quarter of o'clock, which is like three seventeen. Yeah,

0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:26.359
<v Speaker 1>that's a little more. Yeah, you know, I see what

0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.800
<v Speaker 1>you're saying. I was trying think that Dumb and Dumber

0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.280
<v Speaker 1>quote where they're like where he says it's like a

0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:36.560
<v Speaker 1>quarter until whatever. You can't think what it is. Jared

0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.520
<v Speaker 1>knows this. I can't think of it either. But that's

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.240
<v Speaker 1>why I got quiet, because I was like, what anyway,

0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:44.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll think of it later. Do you have a spot team?

0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:46.119
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to think. I don't think I really

0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.720
<v Speaker 1>do you know? It's a funny tour said? Your answer

0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:51.720
<v Speaker 1>was your Semite and Dean is wearing a Yosemite hat. Yeah,

0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:53.320
<v Speaker 1>would you like I should have got that. I'm sure

0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.240
<v Speaker 1>you already have a bunch of Yosemiti memorabilia, but I

0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:58.240
<v Speaker 1>should have gotten you. Yeah, I saw you gave Valentine's

0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Day gifts to other people besides literally just been because

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen him in so long, and I what

0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:05.439
<v Speaker 1>the hell did you give Ben? I didn't see this.

0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:07.040
<v Speaker 1>I got him a couple of cigars. I got him

0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:09.040
<v Speaker 1>a couple of golf balls, a pen with his name

0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:12.480
<v Speaker 1>on it. Pretty cool about Wow? Yeah, that's a pretty

0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 1>nice gift. I gotta say it myself. Um, a spot

0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:16.720
<v Speaker 1>that I go maybe just the beach. It doesn't have

0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:19.320
<v Speaker 1>to be any particular beach. I just like to go

0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:23.479
<v Speaker 1>be near the water. Yeah. What is it about being

0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:25.960
<v Speaker 1>by the water. I don't know. I feel like so

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.119
<v Speaker 1>many people, including myself, love being by the water. Is

0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:31.960
<v Speaker 1>it just the Is it being by mother nature? Maybe

0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:34.280
<v Speaker 1>it's just like in the awe of the ocean. I

0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:35.919
<v Speaker 1>think that we don't often get a bee next to

0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:38.280
<v Speaker 1>something that's so big, and the ocean is just like

0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 1>such a hard concept to grasp the size of it.

0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 1>And I also think there might be something too, depending

0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:48.720
<v Speaker 1>on what you believe about us maybe being from the water.

0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Sure like us as organisms forming within the body of water,

0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.720
<v Speaker 1>like we we made it with fish a couple of

0:20:57.119 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 1>generations ago, you know. Um yeah, yeah, I think that

0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:03.320
<v Speaker 1>it just grounds you. You know, you get a lot

0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:04.720
<v Speaker 1>of you gonna like take your shoes off, put your

0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:06.639
<v Speaker 1>feet in the sand. You get to like kind of

0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:11.320
<v Speaker 1>re recalibrate your whole uh being, you're you know, you're

0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:14.080
<v Speaker 1>being Yeah, Um, I agree. I mean so it's a

0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:17.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty interesting There's a lot more uh questions, what's your

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:19.560
<v Speaker 1>signature drink, what's the best meal you've ever had? And

0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:22.560
<v Speaker 1>they also say some tips for first dates listen as

0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:26.359
<v Speaker 1>much or more than you talk. Don't forget that listening

0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:27.879
<v Speaker 1>is a very important part of the first date. I

0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:30.040
<v Speaker 1>want to say, uh, to add on that is that's

0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:32.160
<v Speaker 1>definitely something that I've noticed back when I was going

0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:35.480
<v Speaker 1>on dates, is uh, people love for the most part,

0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:39.199
<v Speaker 1>people all they can easily talk about themselves, and they

0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:41.480
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about themselves. So if you consistently ask

0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:43.359
<v Speaker 1>some questions about themselves, like these ones that you've been

0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:46.720
<v Speaker 1>bringing up. Um, that in my opinion and my experience

0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:48.520
<v Speaker 1>is how dates go well is when the other person

0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:50.080
<v Speaker 1>is talking most of the time. They're always going to

0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:51.800
<v Speaker 1>leave that day thinking, well, like, I really had a

0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:53.280
<v Speaker 1>good time on that day because I was able to

0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:56.280
<v Speaker 1>share so much. So keep the people, keep the person talking,

0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:58.199
<v Speaker 1>and stay interested in the things that they're saying. They

0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:00.720
<v Speaker 1>also say, peel the onion, don't stab it with a

0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:03.080
<v Speaker 1>pairing knife. Getting to know someone new is like peeling

0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:05.840
<v Speaker 1>an onion one thin layer at a time. Some people

0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:08.520
<v Speaker 1>are over eager to get into deep and meaningful conversations,

0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:11.959
<v Speaker 1>go too far, too fast, and so they say, you know,

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:15.119
<v Speaker 1>start with nice, easy going questions just to getting to

0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:19.280
<v Speaker 1>know each other before you start asking really more in

0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:22.119
<v Speaker 1>depth questions. Um, you don't want to just go right

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:26.080
<v Speaker 1>like zero to nah nah. So there we go. Some

0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:29.919
<v Speaker 1>tips for anybody listening to this podcast that potentially might

0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:31.040
<v Speaker 1>be going on a first date. I think a lot

0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 1>of people that do that that goes year to a hundred,

0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:35.080
<v Speaker 1>like that stabbed the onion per se. Those are the

0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:36.560
<v Speaker 1>ones that are like, I really want to be in

0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:38.560
<v Speaker 1>a relationship, And that's when you can kind of sense

0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:41.920
<v Speaker 1>that and it comes off almost desperate. Desperate. Yeah, yeah,

0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:44.080
<v Speaker 1>absolutely so don't do that. So you peel the onion,

0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:48.600
<v Speaker 1>don't stab it, don't stab, don't stab the onion. Um. So,

0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Jared and I think we can talk about this. We

0:24:37.119 --> 0:24:39.920
<v Speaker 1>acted quote unquote acted in a commercial about a couple

0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:42.479
<v Speaker 1>of weeks ago for the movie Love. Promercial comes off

0:24:42.520 --> 0:24:44.440
<v Speaker 1>very soon. We're very excited for a movie and Jared

0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:48.040
<v Speaker 1>and Ashley's acting ability is so far superior. To mine.

0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:49.919
<v Speaker 1>There was for a good year, year and a half,

0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:52.479
<v Speaker 1>two years there was there was mold funny I'm joking.

0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:56.840
<v Speaker 1>There were multiple instances where you guys were just having

0:24:56.840 --> 0:24:59.240
<v Speaker 1>a conversation, and it took me like five seconds to

0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:01.119
<v Speaker 1>be like, oh, we're in a scene right now. Like

0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I literally thought that you guys were just having a

0:25:02.760 --> 0:25:04.200
<v Speaker 1>conversation with each other, and then it took me so

0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:05.760
<v Speaker 1>much time to figure out that you guys were actually

0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:07.760
<v Speaker 1>you were acting at the time. It pretty much happens

0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:09.679
<v Speaker 1>every week on this podcast. We're like talking for eight

0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:12.399
<v Speaker 1>minutes and you're like, oh my god, recording recording, No.

0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:14.320
<v Speaker 1>But I was like I was, I was genuinely impressed,

0:25:14.320 --> 0:25:20.600
<v Speaker 1>and I think that ability that you have is gonna

0:25:17.160 --> 0:25:23.480
<v Speaker 1>uh yeah. Anyways, this one, this source is from Lexi

0:25:23.680 --> 0:25:26.040
<v Speaker 1>and Alexei says, so this isn't a dating question, but

0:25:26.080 --> 0:25:28.199
<v Speaker 1>I really need a man's opinion. I'm twenty two, my

0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:30.840
<v Speaker 1>brother is twenty five. We grew up constantly bickering with

0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 1>a love hate relationship, as most siblings do, but he's

0:25:33.000 --> 0:25:35.560
<v Speaker 1>always been closed off. Our parents are divorced for about

0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:38.240
<v Speaker 1>six years, and my brother and I went through a

0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:40.200
<v Speaker 1>very hard time because of the divorce fast forward, and

0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:42.760
<v Speaker 1>now he just got engaged and is getting married this December.

0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:44.600
<v Speaker 1>My family loves his fiance, and she and I got

0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:48.439
<v Speaker 1>close very quickly. However, my brother has increasingly shut himself

0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:50.879
<v Speaker 1>off from my family and only makes time for his

0:25:50.880 --> 0:25:53.800
<v Speaker 1>fiance's family. I recently told him how hurt this makes us,

0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:56.640
<v Speaker 1>and its spirals from there, with him telling my mom

0:25:56.720 --> 0:25:58.600
<v Speaker 1>and I that he doesn't want to be around drama.

0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I've told him how I feel, my mom has told

0:26:00.280 --> 0:26:02.600
<v Speaker 1>him how he feels, how she feels, and my stepdad

0:26:02.680 --> 0:26:04.480
<v Speaker 1>has too. We're currently not speaking to him and he's

0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:06.280
<v Speaker 1>not speaking to us. Do I just move past this?

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Do I tried talking to him again? I feel helpless

0:26:08.880 --> 0:26:11.520
<v Speaker 1>and I don't even feel like he's my brother anymore. So,

0:26:12.840 --> 0:26:16.360
<v Speaker 1>long story short, she has a brother, Her brother's engaged.

0:26:16.720 --> 0:26:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Her engaged brother focuses on his fiance's family and no

0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:22.639
<v Speaker 1>longer speaks to their family, and she's upset about it.

0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:25.439
<v Speaker 1>My advice would be trying to move past this and

0:26:25.440 --> 0:26:28.120
<v Speaker 1>talk to your brother again, because I think, Lexie, you're

0:26:28.119 --> 0:26:30.439
<v Speaker 1>going to regret this one day, especially if you go

0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:33.240
<v Speaker 1>a long extended period of time with how talking to him.

0:26:33.720 --> 0:26:35.679
<v Speaker 1>I know he probably you're probably mad at him, and

0:26:35.680 --> 0:26:37.359
<v Speaker 1>he's probably making a mistake by spending more time with

0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:39.920
<v Speaker 1>his fiance family than rather than his own family. But

0:26:41.160 --> 0:26:43.359
<v Speaker 1>try to big, to be the bigger person, because I

0:26:43.400 --> 0:26:46.040
<v Speaker 1>guarantee you if this goes longer and all of a

0:26:46.080 --> 0:26:49.240
<v Speaker 1>sudden it spirals into a ten year span of you

0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:51.280
<v Speaker 1>not talking to each other, I feel like you're going

0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:53.560
<v Speaker 1>to really regret it because unfortunately we only have very

0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:57.560
<v Speaker 1>limited time on this earth. Um, So maybe my advice

0:26:57.600 --> 0:27:00.760
<v Speaker 1>would be, as much as it sucks, swallow your pride

0:27:00.760 --> 0:27:02.240
<v Speaker 1>and try to reach back out. Yeah, it would suck

0:27:02.280 --> 0:27:04.560
<v Speaker 1>to uh to not go to his wedding right, and

0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:06.280
<v Speaker 1>then a couple of years later, be like dang, and

0:27:06.480 --> 0:27:09.359
<v Speaker 1>like maybe like in five years they somehow recover the relationship,

0:27:09.560 --> 0:27:11.480
<v Speaker 1>but it's too late to have obviously go back in

0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:12.879
<v Speaker 1>time and go to the wedding right. So it's like

0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:14.359
<v Speaker 1>figure it out now, so that way you can be

0:27:14.359 --> 0:27:17.560
<v Speaker 1>there for him during that moment. And especially if if

0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:21.040
<v Speaker 1>she's close with the fiance, maybe she can just continue

0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:23.760
<v Speaker 1>to grow the relationship with their family and then by association,

0:27:23.880 --> 0:27:26.080
<v Speaker 1>her and her brother will go close. Or Lexi can

0:27:26.080 --> 0:27:28.399
<v Speaker 1>reach out to the fiance and kind of explain the

0:27:28.440 --> 0:27:30.199
<v Speaker 1>situation and see if the fiance they can help in

0:27:30.240 --> 0:27:36.160
<v Speaker 1>any way. I my recommendation would be to not bring

0:27:36.280 --> 0:27:39.200
<v Speaker 1>up how they feel anymore and make it like, how

0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:40.960
<v Speaker 1>can we help you with the wedding to make it

0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:44.720
<v Speaker 1>less stressful? How can we help you, um, plan the

0:27:44.760 --> 0:27:47.359
<v Speaker 1>rehearsal dinner? What would you like for the rehearsal dinner?

0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Because I know that the the groom plans the rehearsal dinner,

0:27:51.640 --> 0:27:53.040
<v Speaker 1>So just being like, how can we be more hands

0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:55.280
<v Speaker 1>on with that? Do you need me to do invites?

0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:58.120
<v Speaker 1>And just come along it in that way where you're

0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:01.199
<v Speaker 1>not even addressing obviously he clearly understands how she and

0:28:01.240 --> 0:28:03.919
<v Speaker 1>her family feels and that would be so hard, but

0:28:04.000 --> 0:28:05.919
<v Speaker 1>addressing it in a way of just hey, we're not

0:28:05.960 --> 0:28:08.640
<v Speaker 1>attacking you anymore, like how can we just help? Yea,

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:10.560
<v Speaker 1>So make it known that you want to reach back

0:28:10.600 --> 0:28:13.200
<v Speaker 1>out without saying, hey, I want to fix this, because

0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:15.560
<v Speaker 1>like you said, if you reach out and ask if

0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:18.440
<v Speaker 1>they need help with the wedding, that already just like

0:28:18.560 --> 0:28:20.880
<v Speaker 1>no emotions. Just make it how can we help? Yeah?

0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Because that that makes it known that you're reaching out

0:28:23.560 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 1>that you want to talk exactly and if you will

0:28:26.000 --> 0:28:27.919
<v Speaker 1>most likely be like, yes, please help us as like

0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:30.080
<v Speaker 1>wedding planning, you guys, you know not you guys you

<v Speaker 1>with siblings or family members? Yeah, but uncle's odds that

0:28:39.960 --> 0:28:42.600

0:28:49.360 --> 0:28:52.920
<v Speaker 1>disown themselves from the families. But just like I said, like,

0:28:53.440 --> 0:28:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't I mean, I wasn't super close to them,

0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:58.480
<v Speaker 1>just family cookouts and things of that nature. Tori, No,

0:28:58.640 --> 0:29:01.960
<v Speaker 1>not at all, like even extended family. I'm extremely blessed

0:29:01.960 --> 0:29:06.400
<v Speaker 1>in that route. Hashtag blessed. My sister got married and

0:29:06.520 --> 0:29:08.320
<v Speaker 1>well she it's not that she didn't invite us to

0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:11.080
<v Speaker 1>the wedding. She had like a courtroom wedding, so none

0:29:11.080 --> 0:29:12.920
<v Speaker 1>of us were there. Well, she invited me, but she

0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:15.560
<v Speaker 1>was like, hey, my wedding is in four days. Uh

0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:16.960
<v Speaker 1>do you want to come? And I was like, well no,

0:29:17.000 --> 0:29:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I've got this was like a long time. I was like, no,

0:29:18.600 --> 0:29:20.080
<v Speaker 1>you gotta work. I can't be in Seattle in four

0:29:20.160 --> 0:29:23.240
<v Speaker 1>days for the wedding. Uh. I would never say that

0:29:23.280 --> 0:29:25.520
<v Speaker 1>we have anyone in my family has a strained relationship,

0:29:25.680 --> 0:29:29.200
<v Speaker 1>but I would say that for Lexi if she has

0:29:29.240 --> 0:29:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the ability to mend the relationship, especially before the wedding

0:29:31.400 --> 0:29:33.960
<v Speaker 1>because it's such a special time. Jaredy can attest that

0:29:33.960 --> 0:29:37.960
<v Speaker 1>because he's married, make sure you mend the relationship and

0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:39.840
<v Speaker 1>try to be at the wedding to support both your

0:29:39.880 --> 0:29:43.160
<v Speaker 1>friend and your brother. You know what's funny about the

0:29:43.560 --> 0:29:46.720
<v Speaker 1>dean coming to my wedding. So you were flying in

0:29:46.800 --> 0:29:49.200
<v Speaker 1>on a Friday, and then the wedding was on a Sunday,

0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:53.760
<v Speaker 1>and I remember you texted me and he said, hey, man,

0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:56.760
<v Speaker 1>my flight got rerouted, Like he was supposed to fly

0:29:56.840 --> 0:29:58.440
<v Speaker 1>to Providence and you were going to be at the

0:29:58.480 --> 0:30:03.280
<v Speaker 1>boat for five o'clock. But uh you texted me. You're like, dude,

0:30:03.320 --> 0:30:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry my flight got rerouted. I was golfing

0:30:05.360 --> 0:30:06.760
<v Speaker 1>with my dad at the time. It was in the morning,

0:30:07.240 --> 0:30:08.800
<v Speaker 1>and you were like, so I'm flying into Bossom, but

0:30:08.840 --> 0:30:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't land until seven and then I have to

0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:12.360
<v Speaker 1>drive down and he was trying to figure all this stuff.

0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:13.720
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh my god, that sucks. I can't

0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:15.840
<v Speaker 1>believe your flight got reroutted. I felt so bad, and

0:30:15.840 --> 0:30:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I can have somebody come pick you up,

0:30:17.520 --> 0:30:18.880
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, no, don't worry about it, like I'll

0:30:18.880 --> 0:30:22.440
<v Speaker 1>figure it out. You just enjoyed and so anyway, so

0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I felt so bad the day of I was like, man,

0:30:24.960 --> 0:30:28.160
<v Speaker 1>that sucks. And then Saturday comes and we start talking,

0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:29.520
<v Speaker 1>or maybe it was after I think it was after

0:30:29.560 --> 0:30:31.840
<v Speaker 1>the wedding was over, and I was like, man, it

0:30:31.880 --> 0:30:34.040
<v Speaker 1>was crazy that I can't believe they rerouted your flight

0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:36.680
<v Speaker 1>from the Providence Report to the Boston Airport, Like I

0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I hardly ever hear that unless it's so bad landing

0:30:39.480 --> 0:30:41.480
<v Speaker 1>conditions that they can't do it. And it was beautiful

0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:45.160
<v Speaker 1>that day, and so you were like, I lied, I

0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:46.840
<v Speaker 1>I just missed my flight and I felt really bad

0:30:46.880 --> 0:30:48.240
<v Speaker 1>to tell you. So I just made up this story

0:30:48.240 --> 0:30:50.160
<v Speaker 1>about how my flight got reroutted. But I made it.

0:30:50.920 --> 0:30:53.440
<v Speaker 1>You made it exactly you were. It was so funny

0:30:53.440 --> 0:30:56.000
<v Speaker 1>when I found that out, because you your your text

0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:59.120
<v Speaker 1>it was so detail oriented. I mean, it was It

0:30:59.200 --> 0:31:00.760
<v Speaker 1>was very sweet that you felt so bad that you

0:31:00.800 --> 0:31:03.200
<v Speaker 1>had to tell meself how I missed my flight. I

0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:05.959
<v Speaker 1>think maybe one out with it was early. You had

0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:08.280
<v Speaker 1>like a because you booked like a seven am flight

0:31:08.720 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 1>at the lay over in Atlanta and it got into

0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Rhode Island like a three. Yeah, it was. You got

0:31:12.960 --> 0:31:14.680
<v Speaker 1>in like right around the same time. I think bend

0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:17.120
<v Speaker 1>or something. But I made it, and I would made it.

0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't have missed it for the world. And to Lexi,

0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that you should miss anyone close person's wedding. Yes,

0:31:23.520 --> 0:31:28.320
<v Speaker 1>I agree, even if you quote unquote get rewarded. Yeah,

0:31:28.680 --> 0:31:31.880
<v Speaker 1>just don't cancel the flight. Don't cancel the flight, Lexi. Um,

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:36.520
<v Speaker 1>this email is from Lindsay. Here we go, Here we go.

0:31:37.360 --> 0:31:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna try to do my best. Mark You guys

0:31:39.520 --> 0:31:42.720
<v Speaker 1>are the best. Hopefully you don't take this personally. Men

0:31:43.000 --> 0:31:48.120
<v Speaker 1>and boys are the worst. I truly, I truly do

0:31:48.200 --> 0:31:51.320
<v Speaker 1>not understand. Lindsay does not understand men and boys. Dean

0:31:51.360 --> 0:31:52.680
<v Speaker 1>and I are boys. So we'll try to get a

0:31:52.680 --> 0:31:55.200
<v Speaker 1>man on this podcast. So I went out one weekend

0:31:55.240 --> 0:31:57.640
<v Speaker 1>with my brother and his friends. I'm super close with

0:31:57.680 --> 0:31:59.560
<v Speaker 1>my brother and met one of his close friends for

0:31:59.560 --> 0:32:02.240
<v Speaker 1>the first time this particular night. He was cool and

0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 1>we hit it off. And hung out the whole night

0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:06.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty much. I wanted to go home because I didn't

0:32:06.560 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 1>know this guy that well and him at the stage

0:32:08.680 --> 0:32:11.520
<v Speaker 1>in my life where I'm not interested in random one

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:14.240
<v Speaker 1>night stance. The next week, he had me on Instagram

0:32:14.240 --> 0:32:18.120
<v Speaker 1>and messaged me asking me out. The following week he

0:32:18.200 --> 0:32:21.400
<v Speaker 1>asked me to hang out almost every night, like week

0:32:21.520 --> 0:32:24.520
<v Speaker 1>nights and weekends. I'm pretty busy and work, so I

0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:26.520
<v Speaker 1>didn't see him. The next time I saw him, we

0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:29.160
<v Speaker 1>went to a yoga class and it was great. Then

0:32:29.200 --> 0:32:31.760
<v Speaker 1>the next day he texted me saying he thinks we

0:32:31.880 --> 0:32:36.080
<v Speaker 1>are on different pages. Me, being confused, asked what he meant.

0:32:36.360 --> 0:32:39.040
<v Speaker 1>He said he wasn't looking for any kind of relationship.

0:32:39.280 --> 0:32:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Do you guys think he was just looking for someone

0:32:41.440 --> 0:32:43.760
<v Speaker 1>to hook up with and thought I was playing hard

0:32:43.800 --> 0:32:46.280
<v Speaker 1>to get. I wasn't too torn up about it, so

0:32:46.360 --> 0:32:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I just said, okay, no problem, and haven't heard from

0:32:49.040 --> 0:32:52.720
<v Speaker 1>him since. So I understand the issue. She likes issue.

0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Other well, he was the one asking her out constantly

0:32:56.200 --> 0:32:57.320
<v Speaker 1>for like a week and a half and she kept

0:32:57.360 --> 0:33:01.400
<v Speaker 1>saying no. Granted she works a lot, but she said

0:33:01.440 --> 0:33:03.960
<v Speaker 1>she's not torn up about it. Okay, Well that is

0:33:04.560 --> 0:33:07.600
<v Speaker 1>the question. I was just going to say her saying

0:33:07.640 --> 0:33:10.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not torn up about it, clearly you are. This

0:33:10.360 --> 0:33:13.080
<v Speaker 1>is like one thing like I hate when people try

0:33:13.120 --> 0:33:16.600
<v Speaker 1>to act tough in like a frustrating relationship situation by

0:33:16.640 --> 0:33:18.640
<v Speaker 1>saying I'm not torn up about it, it's fine, everything

0:33:18.640 --> 0:33:20.760
<v Speaker 1>works out. It's like, no kind of be hurt by it.

0:33:20.840 --> 0:33:26.479
<v Speaker 1>And she's like, I have this guy totally pursuing me.

0:33:26.520 --> 0:33:28.560
<v Speaker 1>She clearly had work, so I think that she probably

0:33:28.600 --> 0:33:30.280
<v Speaker 1>was like I'm so sorry at work and says sorry work.

0:33:30.600 --> 0:33:32.480
<v Speaker 1>But then when they hung out, he said he wasn't

0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:34.479
<v Speaker 1>going for any kind of relationship. It was weird. Why

0:33:34.560 --> 0:33:36.760
<v Speaker 1>why would you text some constantly? Then, well that's what

0:33:36.840 --> 0:33:39.520
<v Speaker 1>she's asking, why do guys do that? Why would guys initiate?

0:33:39.560 --> 0:33:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Because I think this goes to a lot of our emails.

0:33:41.280 --> 0:33:43.160
<v Speaker 1>We get of guys being like, hey, you want to

0:33:43.160 --> 0:33:46.400
<v Speaker 1>hang out, hang out? Hang out? Um, then they'll on

0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:48.680
<v Speaker 1>like the sixth day, or if they sleep together, they're like,

0:33:48.680 --> 0:33:50.200
<v Speaker 1>all right, I'm not looking for anything serious. I'm not

0:33:50.240 --> 0:33:52.840
<v Speaker 1>looking for a relationship. And then the girls have to

0:33:52.880 --> 0:33:56.120
<v Speaker 1>be like, Okay, we don't guys don't do that. We

0:33:56.160 --> 0:34:00.760
<v Speaker 1>don't do that. We're so cool, not ance and funny

0:34:00.760 --> 0:34:03.200
<v Speaker 1>and charmaig Listen, you guys have definitely done this, and

0:34:03.200 --> 0:34:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that you need to be very honest in

0:34:04.760 --> 0:34:09.879
<v Speaker 1>this situation. Is it strictly most of the time when

0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:12.480
<v Speaker 1>you hear response like this, does your head go he

0:34:12.560 --> 0:34:17.640
<v Speaker 1>was just looking to hook up? Mm hmm yeah, probably yeah.

0:34:17.640 --> 0:34:19.799
<v Speaker 1>I think guys just get ahead in themselves, you know,

0:34:19.880 --> 0:34:24.360
<v Speaker 1>like or rather, guys don't think things through. So I

0:34:24.400 --> 0:34:26.840
<v Speaker 1>think maybe he was just texting text. Like guys are

0:34:26.920 --> 0:34:28.800
<v Speaker 1>very nearsighted, right, Like they see a pretty girl and

0:34:28.800 --> 0:34:32.439
<v Speaker 1>they're like, I want to sleep with that, and they do.

0:34:33.200 --> 0:34:35.439
<v Speaker 1>That's the thought that and then they do and then

0:34:35.520 --> 0:34:38.439
<v Speaker 1>they're like, Okay, that was fine, ye see you later.

0:34:39.120 --> 0:34:41.960
<v Speaker 1>It's not a good mentalent to have. Most guys are idiots.

0:34:42.280 --> 0:34:43.600
<v Speaker 1>But have you ever done that to a girl where

0:34:43.640 --> 0:34:46.080
<v Speaker 1>you hang out with someone and then you've sent the text?

0:34:46.120 --> 0:34:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever sent the text? I'm just not looking

0:34:48.480 --> 0:34:51.160
<v Speaker 1>for anything serious right now? Raise you raise your hand

0:34:51.719 --> 0:34:55.799
<v Speaker 1>If you've sent that text. Someone's lying and someone's telling

0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:58.520
<v Speaker 1>that My hand is raised, Dean, you're telling me you've

0:34:58.560 --> 0:35:01.160
<v Speaker 1>never told anybody you're not and looking for something serious.

0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:02.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure I heard you said that on TV

0:35:02.960 --> 0:35:08.200
<v Speaker 1>one time, like five times. Yeah, yeah, yeah, at least

0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:09.839
<v Speaker 1>you can go on The Bachelor. Hey, just so you're

0:35:09.840 --> 0:35:12.239
<v Speaker 1>not looking for anything there is I think I know

0:35:12.320 --> 0:35:14.520
<v Speaker 1>this ends with getting engaged, like I'm not looking for

0:35:14.520 --> 0:35:17.000
<v Speaker 1>anything serious. I probably have sent it before to look

0:35:17.120 --> 0:35:20.040
<v Speaker 1>but what like I want you to dissect why men

0:35:20.200 --> 0:35:22.480
<v Speaker 1>send that. I think their issue. The biggest issue with

0:35:22.520 --> 0:35:24.840
<v Speaker 1>that isn't the fact that they're not looking for anything serious.

0:35:24.840 --> 0:35:26.640
<v Speaker 1>It's the time that they say that they're not looking

0:35:26.640 --> 0:35:28.640
<v Speaker 1>for anything serious. If you're not looking for anything serious,

0:35:28.640 --> 0:35:32.040
<v Speaker 1>make that be known at the beginning, before any physical

0:35:32.280 --> 0:35:34.799
<v Speaker 1>interaction has been hat, you know, like, and then leave

0:35:34.800 --> 0:35:36.120
<v Speaker 1>it up to the girls be like, Okay, I know

0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:37.960
<v Speaker 1>he's not looking for anything serious, but I'm still interested

0:35:37.960 --> 0:35:40.200
<v Speaker 1>in hooking up with him. That's perfectly fine. Don't wait.

0:35:40.320 --> 0:35:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Like if the guy waits until it's upped together six seven, eight, nine,

0:35:43.560 --> 0:35:47.000
<v Speaker 1>ten times, then it's like, well, it sounds like you

0:35:47.120 --> 0:35:48.959
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to sleep with me and now you're ready

0:35:48.960 --> 0:35:50.360
<v Speaker 1>to move on to the next thing. Okay, there's a

0:35:50.360 --> 0:35:53.480
<v Speaker 1>follow up question that I have. Yeah, you're saying, figure

0:35:53.520 --> 0:35:56.520
<v Speaker 1>out if the guy doesn't want anything serious Earlier on

0:35:57.200 --> 0:36:00.000
<v Speaker 1>when do you ask that? And second when you say

0:36:00.000 --> 0:36:01.520
<v Speaker 1>don't if you're sleeping with each other six seven or

0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:04.600
<v Speaker 1>whatever times you you are a huge advocate of sleeping

0:36:04.600 --> 0:36:06.920
<v Speaker 1>on the first date. I'm not a huge advocate. Pretty

0:36:06.920 --> 0:36:09.000
<v Speaker 1>big advocate. I'm pro. I don't think you can get

0:36:09.280 --> 0:36:11.839
<v Speaker 1>there's not a spectrum of pronus. But yes, but so

0:36:12.040 --> 0:36:14.279
<v Speaker 1>this is conflicting, Like I'm just getting frustrated because you

0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:17.880
<v Speaker 1>guys are conflicting in your words. What have I been

0:36:18.000 --> 0:36:19.920
<v Speaker 1>conflicted about? I don't think you should sit together on

0:36:19.960 --> 0:36:22.279
<v Speaker 1>the first day. She's like, when do you bring that up?

0:36:22.520 --> 0:36:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Because before you sleep with him, so it should be

0:36:24.960 --> 0:36:27.200
<v Speaker 1>brought up on the first date in your eyes. Look,

0:36:27.200 --> 0:36:28.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying sleep with everyone you go on a

0:36:28.760 --> 0:36:30.440
<v Speaker 1>first date with. I'm not saying go on a first date.

0:36:30.480 --> 0:36:32.560
<v Speaker 1>You're automatical sleeping with this person. If you go on

0:36:32.600 --> 0:36:36.160
<v Speaker 1>a first date and it leads to to romance, have

0:36:36.320 --> 0:36:40.000
<v Speaker 1>that conversation with the person before you allow any penetration.

0:36:40.200 --> 0:36:45.280
<v Speaker 1>We advocate safe romance here and help dating before this happens.

0:36:45.600 --> 0:36:47.799
<v Speaker 1>Listeners out there, Yes, I'm sure you can imagine the

0:36:47.840 --> 0:36:50.560
<v Speaker 1>thing that I'm doing, Like a twelve year old boy,

0:36:50.800 --> 0:36:56.760
<v Speaker 1>have the conversation before before this hap stop hitting before

0:36:56.800 --> 0:36:59.400
<v Speaker 1>this happens. What you need to do is be like, listen,

0:36:59.480 --> 0:37:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I like, I think that this there's potential here. Do

0:37:02.160 --> 0:37:05.279
<v Speaker 1>you Are you in a place where you see relationship

0:37:05.440 --> 0:37:07.320
<v Speaker 1>happening in your life? And if they say I'm not

0:37:07.360 --> 0:37:10.000
<v Speaker 1>looking for anything serious, make that judgment call of whether

0:37:10.080 --> 0:37:12.080
<v Speaker 1>or not you're comfortable with sleeping with someone that doesn't

0:37:12.080 --> 0:37:14.120
<v Speaker 1>want to have a serious relationship with you, and that

0:37:14.120 --> 0:37:15.960
<v Speaker 1>that's not for us to say. If they if they

0:37:16.000 --> 0:37:17.719
<v Speaker 1>want to do that, that's perfectly fine. But then don't

0:37:17.719 --> 0:37:19.879
<v Speaker 1>come around six days later and be like, well, why

0:37:19.920 --> 0:37:21.640
<v Speaker 1>is he not looking for anything serious? Because he's been

0:37:21.640 --> 0:37:23.520
<v Speaker 1>telling you the whole time he's not looking for anything serious.

0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I do sometimes think that guys do. And this isn't

0:37:27.080 --> 0:37:29.719
<v Speaker 1>just a guy versus girl situation, but anybody. One person

0:37:29.760 --> 0:37:32.360
<v Speaker 1>in the relationship will say I'm not looking for something serious,

0:37:32.360 --> 0:37:34.920
<v Speaker 1>and the other person will say, oh, neither am I,

0:37:35.360 --> 0:37:37.680
<v Speaker 1>and then they actually are and they're just kind of

0:37:37.680 --> 0:37:40.160
<v Speaker 1>putting it off hoping that the other person changes. I'm

0:37:40.160 --> 0:37:42.400
<v Speaker 1>not saying that happens all the time, but it does happen. Okay,

0:37:42.400 --> 0:37:46.279
<v Speaker 1>So to take notes, write your standards, down and live

0:37:46.320 --> 0:37:48.640
<v Speaker 1>by them. So if a man says that earlier on,

0:37:50.200 --> 0:37:53.319
<v Speaker 1>you're saying, don't sleep with him, Yeah, don't, Yeah, don't

0:37:53.400 --> 0:37:56.040
<v Speaker 1>unless well, yeah, it depends, unless you don't want anything serious.

0:37:56.000 --> 0:37:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Eye exactly. Sometimes you guys are on the same page,

0:37:58.680 --> 0:38:00.239
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter, But if you're not on the same age,

0:38:00.239 --> 0:38:03.160
<v Speaker 1>then you have to vocalize your opinion because if you don't,

0:38:03.160 --> 0:38:04.440
<v Speaker 1>then the other person is not going to know what

0:38:04.480 --> 0:38:06.160
<v Speaker 1>should be a girl's line. If a guy says I'm

0:38:06.200 --> 0:38:08.960
<v Speaker 1>not looking for anything serious and you say I am,

0:38:09.080 --> 0:38:12.279
<v Speaker 1>I am, it's kind of scary. It is scary, but

0:38:12.400 --> 0:38:14.799
<v Speaker 1>I mean dating is scary, relationship is scary. You know

0:38:14.800 --> 0:38:17.840
<v Speaker 1>what's scarier having your heartbroken by you not saying anything,

0:38:17.880 --> 0:38:19.279
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden, three months goes by

0:38:19.280 --> 0:38:20.440
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, by the way, when I said I

0:38:20.480 --> 0:38:24.319
<v Speaker 1>wasn't looking for something serious, that's very true. And it's

0:38:24.320 --> 0:38:27.040
<v Speaker 1>better than if he says I'm not looking for anything serious.

0:38:27.120 --> 0:38:28.720
<v Speaker 1>You could say, well, I'm not going to be looking

0:38:28.800 --> 0:38:32.640
<v Speaker 1>at your penis. Then no more penis looking. Yeah, okay,

0:38:32.800 --> 0:38:35.319
<v Speaker 1>next question. Also, I wanted to add there's a little

0:38:35.400 --> 0:38:37.160
<v Speaker 1>nugget in here that I kind of skipped over, So

0:38:37.239 --> 0:38:40.720
<v Speaker 1>because he's they hung out one night, right, and then

0:38:41.560 --> 0:38:44.279
<v Speaker 1>she says that he added me on Instagram and then

0:38:44.400 --> 0:38:48.080
<v Speaker 1>messaged me every day asking me out. And then he

0:38:48.080 --> 0:38:50.719
<v Speaker 1>said I wasn't look for anything serious. He just want

0:38:50.760 --> 0:38:53.359
<v Speaker 1>I want to I want to see Lindsay's Instagram. He said,

0:38:53.360 --> 0:38:55.880
<v Speaker 1>like maybe like a little premiusous bet you Lindsay is

0:38:56.000 --> 0:39:00.080
<v Speaker 1>very attractive. You up? No exactly? Like did he to

0:39:00.160 --> 0:39:03.319
<v Speaker 1>her Instagram? Was like, this girl's very very attractive and

0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I need her. That's what it sounds like. Um, I

0:39:06.360 --> 0:39:11.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I'm we have another email from anonymous. So

0:39:11.120 --> 0:39:13.799
<v Speaker 1>this is from anonymous for reference. I'm twenty eight years

0:39:13.840 --> 0:39:17.120
<v Speaker 1>old who is practically a v I P and Suck Army.

0:39:17.239 --> 0:39:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I am female. Just to make that oh correct, Yes,

0:39:23.400 --> 0:39:27.560
<v Speaker 1>merch coming soon, I'm not joking. Already tried creating T shirts. Oh,

0:39:27.800 --> 0:39:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know if I can do

0:39:28.920 --> 0:39:31.520
<v Speaker 1>it like license wise by myself. But I went on

0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:33.160
<v Speaker 1>like one of those T shirt making apps, and I

0:39:33.160 --> 0:39:36.080
<v Speaker 1>already I have like a cool design for suck Army.

0:39:36.760 --> 0:39:38.359
<v Speaker 1>I think it'd be cool. Can we do that? Can

0:39:38.360 --> 0:39:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I do that? I think we should definitely talk to Ami. Okay, cool,

0:39:41.040 --> 0:39:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I would love to and I want to talk to

0:39:42.680 --> 0:39:46.359
<v Speaker 1>about a live podcast, moving them right in right into

0:39:46.400 --> 0:39:48.480
<v Speaker 1>our email. You guys, is that what you want? That's

0:39:48.520 --> 0:39:52.400
<v Speaker 1>what the suck army wants. We want merch. Okay, So

0:39:52.480 --> 0:39:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I am the worst at dating, and a lot of

0:39:54.120 --> 0:39:56.799
<v Speaker 1>things factor into that. I've been mostly single my whole life.

0:39:56.800 --> 0:39:58.640
<v Speaker 1>And if you guys I've tried to date have struck

0:39:58.680 --> 0:40:00.839
<v Speaker 1>me along for one to two years and it has

0:40:00.920 --> 0:40:04.920
<v Speaker 1>it has become and it has never become anything serious.

0:40:05.160 --> 0:40:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Most of the guys who hit me up are I'm

0:40:06.920 --> 0:40:09.920
<v Speaker 1>not interested, even in the slightest. I have put up

0:40:09.920 --> 0:40:11.680
<v Speaker 1>such high walls from being let down so much in

0:40:11.719 --> 0:40:13.680
<v Speaker 1>the past. I don't even know how to convince myself

0:40:13.680 --> 0:40:15.719
<v Speaker 1>to meet up with any of these guys anymore. I'm

0:40:15.719 --> 0:40:18.640
<v Speaker 1>just nervous about putting myself out there again. It doesn't

0:40:18.640 --> 0:40:21.040
<v Speaker 1>help that that my most recent X is still in

0:40:21.080 --> 0:40:22.800
<v Speaker 1>my life. He never wanted to commit to me, but

0:40:22.840 --> 0:40:24.759
<v Speaker 1>I still somehow feel connected to him and wonder if

0:40:24.760 --> 0:40:27.680
<v Speaker 1>you will ever come around, even though deep down I

0:40:27.719 --> 0:40:29.839
<v Speaker 1>don't think we are a match. It's easier to deal

0:40:29.880 --> 0:40:31.840
<v Speaker 1>with the devil, you know, then pick up all of

0:40:31.840 --> 0:40:33.879
<v Speaker 1>your baggage and bring it to the next relationship. Any

0:40:33.880 --> 0:40:36.880
<v Speaker 1>advice would be appreciated. She's not wrong. It is easier

0:40:36.920 --> 0:40:38.400
<v Speaker 1>to deal with the devil you know, rather than definitely

0:40:38.400 --> 0:40:41.640
<v Speaker 1>you don't know. But I think also people would call

0:40:41.680 --> 0:40:46.520
<v Speaker 1>that settling. So and then everybody tells you don't settle

0:40:46.560 --> 0:40:49.200
<v Speaker 1>in relationships, don't settle with the devil you know what

0:40:49.280 --> 0:40:51.279
<v Speaker 1>the word. I think you can speak from experience about this,

0:40:51.360 --> 0:40:56.440
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like a lot of guys hit you

0:40:56.600 --> 0:40:59.279
<v Speaker 1>up that you're not interested in even the slightest I

0:40:59.320 --> 0:41:02.000
<v Speaker 1>actually really agree with that, but I feel like it's

0:41:02.000 --> 0:41:04.080
<v Speaker 1>like something's wrong with me because I sit down with

0:41:04.120 --> 0:41:07.480
<v Speaker 1>these guys and I'm like, you are so awesome, but

0:41:07.560 --> 0:41:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I feel nothing that I don't know. I mean, I really,

0:41:14.480 --> 0:41:16.680
<v Speaker 1>are they really awesome? Are you just a nice person

0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:19.839
<v Speaker 1>to say that they're awesome or find the awesomeness in them?

0:41:19.920 --> 0:41:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Has there ever been an instance where you sat down

0:41:22.280 --> 0:41:24.359
<v Speaker 1>with someone you didn't feel it, and then you let

0:41:24.360 --> 0:41:26.560
<v Speaker 1>them go and then like you saw them later on

0:41:26.640 --> 0:41:28.800
<v Speaker 1>and you really regretted it. No, but I have fallen

0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:32.400
<v Speaker 1>like I have had that like woe connection with one

0:41:32.520 --> 0:41:36.000
<v Speaker 1>person my whole life. Who's this person? It was like

0:41:36.080 --> 0:41:39.479
<v Speaker 1>at this like after kind of Grammy's party like three

0:41:39.560 --> 0:41:44.080
<v Speaker 1>years ago, and it was this guy. He um, he

0:41:44.280 --> 0:41:46.520
<v Speaker 1>like went to usc All that stuff. He like came

0:41:46.560 --> 0:41:49.279
<v Speaker 1>over to me. He was so attractive. Take it my

0:41:49.320 --> 0:41:51.040
<v Speaker 1>phone stead. I was showing you guys a picture. He's

0:41:51.040 --> 0:41:54.280
<v Speaker 1>so attractive. Damn it. Help. I took a dating instagramp

0:41:56.600 --> 0:42:00.640
<v Speaker 1>and he um. It was the first time I was like, wow,

0:42:00.680 --> 0:42:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually like, I feel physically connected, like attractive to you.

0:42:04.360 --> 0:42:11.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm tinkling. Yeah, I'm like, I like great conversation and um.

0:42:11.520 --> 0:42:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Then he was like, we had to go and do

0:42:13.760 --> 0:42:15.919
<v Speaker 1>this like a little photo thing, and so he was like, oh,

0:42:16.040 --> 0:42:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll wait for you. And his friend was there too,

0:42:18.360 --> 0:42:20.280
<v Speaker 1>and his friend kind of kept kind of pulling us away,

0:42:21.520 --> 0:42:24.960
<v Speaker 1>um or pulling him away from us, and so he

0:42:25.000 --> 0:42:26.359
<v Speaker 1>was like, Okay, we'll be here when we get back.

0:42:26.719 --> 0:42:29.560
<v Speaker 1>And then when we came back, him and his friend

0:42:29.560 --> 0:42:32.280
<v Speaker 1>weren't there, but we have been talking for like thirty

0:42:32.320 --> 0:42:34.080
<v Speaker 1>minutes and whatever, and I was like, dang, I should

0:42:34.080 --> 0:42:36.759
<v Speaker 1>have just given him my number. It's a really long

0:42:36.800 --> 0:42:38.560
<v Speaker 1>story and I'm not going to get into it, but

0:42:38.880 --> 0:42:40.160
<v Speaker 1>that was not the last time you heard of it

0:42:40.160 --> 0:42:42.600
<v Speaker 1>from this person. But that was like the first time

0:42:42.600 --> 0:42:45.080
<v Speaker 1>I've ever felt like a strong connection with someone and

0:42:45.120 --> 0:42:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I've never had it since. Why aren't you with this guy? Now?

0:42:48.400 --> 0:42:51.200
<v Speaker 1>He's dating someone else? Now I believe Okay, was he

0:42:51.280 --> 0:42:53.359
<v Speaker 1>dating someone when you met him? So when I met him,

0:42:53.400 --> 0:43:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I found out, Um, my sorority sister's friend friend something

0:43:00.480 --> 0:43:03.719
<v Speaker 1>really connected, weird, convoluted. He was like in the middle

0:43:03.719 --> 0:43:06.360
<v Speaker 1>of a breakup during that, so his friend was like

0:43:06.400 --> 0:43:07.799
<v Speaker 1>pulling away because he was like, dude, you got to

0:43:07.800 --> 0:43:11.000
<v Speaker 1>figure out like what you're doing first. Well, that's a

0:43:11.000 --> 0:43:13.560
<v Speaker 1>good friend, but also a crappy friend for you. Whoever

0:43:13.560 --> 0:43:16.040
<v Speaker 1>that person is I know, but yeah, I don't. I

0:43:16.040 --> 0:43:17.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Are you still in communication with this human? No?

0:43:19.000 --> 0:43:21.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't. It's actually a really funny story. But I like,

0:43:21.960 --> 0:43:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why I don't feel connected to people.

0:43:24.719 --> 0:43:26.239
<v Speaker 1>A lot of the times I think that I just

0:43:26.280 --> 0:43:28.640
<v Speaker 1>love human interactions, so I can really go on a

0:43:28.640 --> 0:43:31.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of dates with people that you love stiff arming guys,

0:43:31.560 --> 0:43:34.680
<v Speaker 1>love it, send of my way, Um, But to really

0:43:34.719 --> 0:43:36.919
<v Speaker 1>feel like I want to let my guard down with you,

0:43:37.040 --> 0:43:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I have honestly don't think I've ever experienced. Yeah, So

0:43:41.080 --> 0:43:42.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I mean doan Do you have any

0:43:42.880 --> 0:43:46.879
<v Speaker 1>advice for Anonymous about how uh she just doesn't even

0:43:47.200 --> 0:43:49.160
<v Speaker 1>how to convince herself to meet up with any guys.

0:43:49.239 --> 0:43:51.160
<v Speaker 1>I do have some advice for Anonymous, and I think

0:43:51.200 --> 0:43:53.080
<v Speaker 1>that what she needs to do in order to start

0:43:53.120 --> 0:43:54.920
<v Speaker 1>meeting up with guys and feeling more of a connection

0:43:54.960 --> 0:43:59.000
<v Speaker 1>is by fully completely dropping the X out of her life,

0:43:59.480 --> 0:44:02.839
<v Speaker 1>especially because she says, I, deep down, I know that

0:44:02.880 --> 0:44:06.120
<v Speaker 1>we are not a match. So first, first, and foremost, Anonymous,

0:44:06.120 --> 0:44:08.839
<v Speaker 1>cut that off entirely. You're not gonna meet someone. You're

0:44:08.840 --> 0:44:10.959
<v Speaker 1>not gonna allow yourself to drop your walls with someone

0:44:10.960 --> 0:44:13.160
<v Speaker 1>else until you fully put those walls up for him,

0:44:13.200 --> 0:44:15.200
<v Speaker 1>because he is a thing of the past. He doesn't

0:44:15.239 --> 0:44:18.080
<v Speaker 1>belong in your life anymore. Put that aside and move

0:44:18.080 --> 0:44:19.960
<v Speaker 1>on to the next thing. Don't be afraid about bringing

0:44:19.960 --> 0:44:23.319
<v Speaker 1>your baggage to another relationship. Speaking from someone that has

0:44:23.360 --> 0:44:26.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of baggage, it's uh, it's a lot easier

0:44:26.360 --> 0:44:30.200
<v Speaker 1>to pack it up and move along if you just

0:44:30.239 --> 0:44:32.879
<v Speaker 1>completely sever that whole thing in the past. Jared's nothing

0:44:32.960 --> 0:44:35.160
<v Speaker 1>said yes, do you agree? Yeah? I was just thinking

0:44:35.160 --> 0:44:38.400
<v Speaker 1>about your baggage. I got a lot, I got a

0:44:38.400 --> 0:44:41.319
<v Speaker 1>small friends, I don't have much space to store my things,

0:44:41.360 --> 0:44:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and so I carry a lot of them in bags,

0:44:42.880 --> 0:44:45.000
<v Speaker 1>and that baggage comes with me for every place I go,

0:44:45.200 --> 0:44:47.000
<v Speaker 1>a big old backpack. Um, I don't think that you're

0:44:47.000 --> 0:44:50.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna be able to fully find someone that's gonna pique

0:44:50.640 --> 0:44:53.000
<v Speaker 1>your interest until you fully close the door on the

0:44:53.200 --> 0:44:56.239
<v Speaker 1>X that's been lingering around. It's it's comfortable, right, it's

0:44:56.280 --> 0:44:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the devil. You'd rather spend time with the devil you

0:44:58.200 --> 0:45:00.440
<v Speaker 1>know than devil you don't know. As Jared said, but

0:45:01.600 --> 0:45:03.440
<v Speaker 1>if he's not your match, you're wasting your time, You're

0:45:03.440 --> 0:45:05.560
<v Speaker 1>wasting his time, You're wasting everyone's time. Yeah, I think

0:45:05.560 --> 0:45:07.799
<v Speaker 1>that the X is definitely X is a big one.

0:45:07.880 --> 0:45:09.600
<v Speaker 1>And then the other one about going on dates with

0:45:09.840 --> 0:45:11.920
<v Speaker 1>dating app, but you know, going on dates with guys

0:45:12.000 --> 0:45:14.120
<v Speaker 1>dating app, so you just don't feel like it. I

0:45:14.200 --> 0:45:16.439
<v Speaker 1>totally get that, Like, not a lot of people feel

0:45:16.440 --> 0:45:18.120
<v Speaker 1>like going on dates, but you just kind of have to.

0:45:18.280 --> 0:45:21.279
<v Speaker 1>It's probably because you probably don't feel motivated to do it,

0:45:21.280 --> 0:45:23.880
<v Speaker 1>because you slightly feel guilty because you're still talking to

0:45:23.880 --> 0:45:26.560
<v Speaker 1>your ex, Like that's what I in my opinion, I

0:45:26.560 --> 0:45:29.040
<v Speaker 1>would feel guilty about that. Yeah, I don't know if

0:45:29.040 --> 0:45:31.200
<v Speaker 1>they're talking, but I think that she's still hung up

0:45:31.719 --> 0:45:34.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent she's talking. Yeah, I think they're still talking.

0:45:34.560 --> 0:45:37.560
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't help that it's still in my life. What

0:45:37.560 --> 0:45:39.200
<v Speaker 1>does that mean? You never wanted to commit to me,

0:45:39.280 --> 0:45:41.000
<v Speaker 1>but I still somehow feel connected to him, and I

0:45:41.040 --> 0:45:43.360
<v Speaker 1>wonder if that doesn't mean they're talking. I think that

0:45:43.400 --> 0:45:47.120
<v Speaker 1>does mean means I'm interpreting it as drop him out entirely,

0:45:47.160 --> 0:45:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Whether interpreting that as maybe one night stance are still happening.

0:45:50.200 --> 0:45:52.799
<v Speaker 1>How do you have one night scene? Sorry, booty calls

0:45:52.800 --> 0:45:56.120
<v Speaker 1>are happening? Drop that all together? Then? Yeah, no, I agree,

0:45:56.120 --> 0:45:58.120
<v Speaker 1>but I don't I don't think they're like genuinely talking.

0:45:58.160 --> 0:46:01.440
<v Speaker 1>I think regardless I miss you, come over, whatever, and

0:46:01.480 --> 0:46:04.160
<v Speaker 1>whatever capacity is, that needs to completely stop because you're

0:46:04.200 --> 0:46:05.959
<v Speaker 1>not going to allow yourself to open up in another

0:46:06.000 --> 0:46:08.279
<v Speaker 1>relationship until that relationship is fully close. That's my advice

0:46:08.840 --> 0:46:10.800
<v Speaker 1>is laying down the rules. I'm laying it down, Anonymous.

0:46:10.840 --> 0:46:15.400
<v Speaker 1>If you don't take this advice, then maybe you're gonna

0:46:15.440 --> 0:46:19.120
<v Speaker 1>still suck a lot less next week, um or just

0:46:19.200 --> 0:46:21.200
<v Speaker 1>as much as you do now. If you don't take

0:46:21.200 --> 0:46:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Poppadine's advice, we have some more emails, and I want

0:46:23.080 --> 0:46:24.480
<v Speaker 1>to answer all the emails. We have three more to

0:46:24.520 --> 0:46:26.440
<v Speaker 1>get through, so you want to read Anonymous, let's just

0:46:26.480 --> 0:46:28.080
<v Speaker 1>do one more. I do want to take one quick

0:46:28.080 --> 0:46:30.839
<v Speaker 1>break before we do that, so we can come back

0:46:30.880 --> 0:46:33.880
<v Speaker 1>fully refreshed, rested. Yeah, we'll all grab a cup of

0:46:33.880 --> 0:46:36.800
<v Speaker 1>coffee and tackle this email to the best of our ability.

0:46:37.360 --> 0:46:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Is that okay with you, guys. It's wonderful for our

0:46:39.440 --> 0:46:41.320
<v Speaker 1>listeners out there. Stick around through this quick break and

0:46:41.360 --> 0:46:43.640
<v Speaker 1>we'll be right back to answer this last email or

0:46:43.719 --> 0:46:55.040
<v Speaker 1>three for you. All right, welcome back, and Tori seems

0:46:55.080 --> 0:46:56.759
<v Speaker 1>to have won the argument because we're gonna do one

0:46:56.760 --> 0:46:59.480
<v Speaker 1>more email before we close out this. I just want

0:46:59.520 --> 0:47:01.040
<v Speaker 1>to be able to take time on these emails and

0:47:01.040 --> 0:47:03.200
<v Speaker 1>when people write us in so we'll listen. I was

0:47:03.440 --> 0:47:07.480
<v Speaker 1>there during the break. It was an argument. Way to

0:47:07.520 --> 0:47:09.120
<v Speaker 1>spend this into you taking the high horse here. I

0:47:09.160 --> 0:47:11.320
<v Speaker 1>want to take time to answer these thoroughly. Was I

0:47:11.400 --> 0:47:13.239
<v Speaker 1>not my line in the debate? I said I want

0:47:13.280 --> 0:47:16.400
<v Speaker 1>to take time when we are listeners right in revisionist history. Anyways,

0:47:16.400 --> 0:47:19.359
<v Speaker 1>this email is from Anonymous. Anonymous has to say, which

0:47:19.400 --> 0:47:22.359
<v Speaker 1>is funny because Anonymous email this last time too Anonymous says,

0:47:22.360 --> 0:47:24.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm in my early thirties. I've been divorced for close

0:47:24.400 --> 0:47:26.480
<v Speaker 1>to five years. I'm a single mom. I've worked at

0:47:26.480 --> 0:47:28.600
<v Speaker 1>the same company for four and a half years. When

0:47:28.600 --> 0:47:30.959
<v Speaker 1>I started, there was a man let's call him David,

0:47:31.200 --> 0:47:35.160
<v Speaker 1>that I found incredibly attractive, but quickly learned he was married, unfortunately, David.

0:47:35.480 --> 0:47:39.200
<v Speaker 1>David David is in his mid to late thirties. We've

0:47:39.200 --> 0:47:41.680
<v Speaker 1>probably only spoken a handful of times. But about two

0:47:41.760 --> 0:47:45.720
<v Speaker 1>years ago at he referred his neighbor, who was always

0:47:45.800 --> 0:47:48.279
<v Speaker 1>also his wife's best friend, to our company work. I'm sorry,

0:47:48.280 --> 0:47:50.440
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of inner workings and weddings here, so

0:47:50.560 --> 0:47:52.880
<v Speaker 1>she works here as well. Let's call her Mary. So

0:47:53.000 --> 0:47:57.160
<v Speaker 1>David has a friend who has neighbors, Maryry, we referred

0:47:57.480 --> 0:47:59.680
<v Speaker 1>to work at this company, and they all worked together. Now,

0:48:00.000 --> 0:48:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Area and I have become very very close. Almost two

0:48:02.120 --> 0:48:06.320
<v Speaker 1>months ago, David and Mary found out that third spouses

0:48:06.560 --> 0:48:09.080
<v Speaker 1>were having an affair. So I decided to reach out

0:48:09.120 --> 0:48:11.160
<v Speaker 1>and let David know I was here if you wanted

0:48:11.160 --> 0:48:12.640
<v Speaker 1>someone to talk to you, because I went through a

0:48:12.719 --> 0:48:15.640
<v Speaker 1>very similar situation five years ago. He accepted, but we

0:48:15.680 --> 0:48:19.880
<v Speaker 1>started messaging. Initially, it was about the situation, but it

0:48:19.960 --> 0:48:23.040
<v Speaker 1>quickly turned flirty. After a few days of messaging all

0:48:23.080 --> 0:48:24.799
<v Speaker 1>the time, he asked if I wanted to hang out.

0:48:25.120 --> 0:48:28.279
<v Speaker 1>He ended up being physical that night. Right now, we

0:48:28.480 --> 0:48:31.239
<v Speaker 1>it says we end up getting physical. That could have

0:48:31.280 --> 0:48:35.000
<v Speaker 1>been an We ended up being very physical at night

0:48:35.000 --> 0:48:37.319
<v Speaker 1>to get Everything seemed normal for the next few days,

0:48:37.320 --> 0:48:39.120
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden, our messages became sexual.

0:48:39.920 --> 0:48:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Cent of the time when we crossed pass at work,

0:48:42.080 --> 0:48:44.040
<v Speaker 1>we act like we don't see each other. That sounds

0:48:44.280 --> 0:48:47.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of oh, that was kind of kind of cute,

0:48:47.600 --> 0:48:49.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of hot. We text daily, but at work we

0:48:49.760 --> 0:48:52.319
<v Speaker 1>literally do not speak. I'm confused about what he wants.

0:48:52.320 --> 0:48:54.319
<v Speaker 1>I joking only mentioned how he's going to be picking

0:48:54.400 --> 0:48:56.399
<v Speaker 1>up tons of chicks with his new haircut looking fly.

0:48:56.960 --> 0:48:59.240
<v Speaker 1>His response was, I'm not looking to pick up any chicks.

0:48:59.280 --> 0:49:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I took that as a subtle way of saying he's

0:49:01.520 --> 0:49:03.640
<v Speaker 1>not looking for anything right now. But our friends at work,

0:49:03.640 --> 0:49:07.359
<v Speaker 1>including Mary, said that they think he was implying he's

0:49:07.400 --> 0:49:09.320
<v Speaker 1>not looking to pick up chicks because we are talking.

0:49:09.360 --> 0:49:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Help me, So should I initiate a conversation to figure

0:49:12.040 --> 0:49:15.720
<v Speaker 1>out what exactly this is? Definitely definitely initiate a conversation.

0:49:15.760 --> 0:49:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm wondering if he's nervous because they work together, he

0:49:18.640 --> 0:49:22.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want to lose. There's a lot of let's say, David,

0:49:22.880 --> 0:49:26.680
<v Speaker 1>who she's calling this guy. If David and Anonymous spark

0:49:26.760 --> 0:49:29.680
<v Speaker 1>up like a more of a public romance, I think

0:49:29.760 --> 0:49:32.600
<v Speaker 1>David has a lot to lose because it sounds like

0:49:32.680 --> 0:49:36.920
<v Speaker 1>his marriage is disintegrating, whether he wanted it to or not.

0:49:37.239 --> 0:49:40.040
<v Speaker 1>He also works with this person. He also works with

0:49:40.080 --> 0:49:42.680
<v Speaker 1>this person's best friend and neighbor, and so there's a

0:49:42.680 --> 0:49:45.399
<v Speaker 1>lot of Uh, there's a lot of a very high

0:49:45.440 --> 0:49:47.719
<v Speaker 1>risk factor for David here. Yeah, but don't you think

0:49:47.760 --> 0:49:50.759
<v Speaker 1>almost it's always I think what David should do is

0:49:50.800 --> 0:49:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I think David should just start a relationship with Anonymous.

0:49:53.680 --> 0:49:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Make it known that this is not because now it

0:49:55.920 --> 0:49:57.640
<v Speaker 1>seems almost just like a hook up, and he's trying

0:49:57.680 --> 0:50:01.160
<v Speaker 1>to keep it on the data. It just is essentially

0:50:01.200 --> 0:50:03.399
<v Speaker 1>leaving a five year marriage. Maybe that's always interested right now?

0:50:03.440 --> 0:50:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Is a hook up? Yeah, David's not like for a relationship.

0:50:05.239 --> 0:50:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so either. Well, then he shouldn't do

0:50:08.480 --> 0:50:11.399
<v Speaker 1>that could be bad get into a relationship at this point,

0:50:11.440 --> 0:50:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I think the coworker thing comes from a lot of

0:50:13.320 --> 0:50:16.279
<v Speaker 1>these people, especially I don't know where Anonymous are, but

0:50:16.320 --> 0:50:18.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, you the people the only people that you

0:50:18.360 --> 0:50:19.680
<v Speaker 1>really know are the people that you work with for

0:50:19.680 --> 0:50:21.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot in a lot of places. You know. No,

0:50:21.440 --> 0:50:23.680
<v Speaker 1>it's true. So I think that that's hard to meet. Yeah,

0:50:23.719 --> 0:50:25.359
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to meet. And you spend so much time

0:50:25.400 --> 0:50:26.680
<v Speaker 1>at work these days. I mean, you and I can

0:50:26.719 --> 0:50:29.399
<v Speaker 1>attest the only time at least three and a half

0:50:29.400 --> 0:50:32.200
<v Speaker 1>hours a week, every two weeks. Also, it's like I

0:50:32.200 --> 0:50:35.279
<v Speaker 1>get their different departments. But that is so. One of

0:50:35.280 --> 0:50:38.840
<v Speaker 1>our producers did meet in the office, producer Danielle and

0:50:38.880 --> 0:50:41.640
<v Speaker 1>her husband, and so obviously can work. But like the

0:50:41.640 --> 0:50:45.520
<v Speaker 1>fact that he's been married, he didn't end the relationship

0:50:45.800 --> 0:50:50.200
<v Speaker 1>his partners, Like, it's just like he's not looking to date.

0:50:50.280 --> 0:50:53.520
<v Speaker 1>He's finding comfort through anonymous and Anonymous sorry to say

0:50:53.560 --> 0:50:55.680
<v Speaker 1>that very bluntly, but he's just trying to find comfort

0:50:55.719 --> 0:50:57.759
<v Speaker 1>through you and I don't. But let me also say

0:50:58.040 --> 0:50:59.600
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the story, there might not be

0:50:59.640 --> 0:51:04.160
<v Speaker 1>anything wrong with that. It all depends on what anonymous. Yeah,

0:51:04.200 --> 0:51:07.279
<v Speaker 1>but he obviously I do like that. David said, I'm

0:51:07.320 --> 0:51:10.359
<v Speaker 1>not looking to hook up with anybody anybody else, So

0:51:10.480 --> 0:51:12.880
<v Speaker 1>he probably, you know, being cheated on. Maybe he just

0:51:12.920 --> 0:51:15.880
<v Speaker 1>needs that comfort. Anonymous is providing that, So maybe Anonymous

0:51:16.080 --> 0:51:18.040
<v Speaker 1>needs to back off a little bit. Okay, let me

0:51:18.080 --> 0:51:20.560
<v Speaker 1>start with Jared first, then to you, Dean. When you

0:51:20.719 --> 0:51:24.239
<v Speaker 1>hear I'm not looking to hook up with chicks or

0:51:24.280 --> 0:51:26.960
<v Speaker 1>pick up any chicks, where did your mind go on

0:51:27.000 --> 0:51:31.480
<v Speaker 1>that set? I believe him positive or negative for Anonymous both.

0:51:31.760 --> 0:51:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I think it's positive because he's not looking next. I

0:51:34.200 --> 0:51:35.920
<v Speaker 1>think it's positive because he's not looking to hook up

0:51:35.920 --> 0:51:39.040
<v Speaker 1>with anybody else. But it's also negative because Anonymous is

0:51:39.040 --> 0:51:40.759
<v Speaker 1>giving him what he wants right now, which is just

0:51:40.840 --> 0:51:44.439
<v Speaker 1>comfort and and and physical support throughout this time, which

0:51:44.800 --> 0:51:47.560
<v Speaker 1>is a big factor after you've been cheated on. Okay, Dean,

0:51:47.719 --> 0:51:49.239
<v Speaker 1>where did your head go when you first heard that?

0:51:49.400 --> 0:51:50.719
<v Speaker 1>Say it again, just so I can see where it

0:51:50.760 --> 0:51:55.640
<v Speaker 1>goes again. I'm not looking to pick up any chicks. Um.

0:51:55.680 --> 0:51:58.239
<v Speaker 1>I think it's good for Anonymous because he's already picked

0:51:58.280 --> 0:51:59.920
<v Speaker 1>up a chick and he's saying he's not looking to

0:52:00.000 --> 0:52:02.400
<v Speaker 1>pick up anymore chicks. But that could just be his

0:52:02.440 --> 0:52:05.239
<v Speaker 1>way of saying like, uh, like his like way being

0:52:05.280 --> 0:52:06.840
<v Speaker 1>bashful of like, oh, I'm not looking to pick up

0:52:06.880 --> 0:52:09.640
<v Speaker 1>chicks even though he is picking up chicks. My concern

0:52:10.440 --> 0:52:12.840
<v Speaker 1>should we not be critical of anonymous here for sleeping

0:52:12.840 --> 0:52:15.880
<v Speaker 1>with a married man even though this is, well, they're separated,

0:52:16.120 --> 0:52:20.840
<v Speaker 1>you got cheated on their obviously separated. We don't. I

0:52:20.840 --> 0:52:23.640
<v Speaker 1>don't think two wrongs make it right in this case. Okay,

0:52:23.680 --> 0:52:27.120
<v Speaker 1>I assumed that once it was found out that had

0:52:27.120 --> 0:52:29.880
<v Speaker 1>been cheated on, but a lot of couples stick together

0:52:29.920 --> 0:52:32.439
<v Speaker 1>even through that. We haven't lying down with my costs,

0:52:32.440 --> 0:52:34.960
<v Speaker 1>and they stuck through that. I agree with Jared. I

0:52:35.040 --> 0:52:37.040
<v Speaker 1>think that it's easy to assume that they're separated. But

0:52:37.080 --> 0:52:38.759
<v Speaker 1>then I just read it while you guys were talking,

0:52:38.800 --> 0:52:40.959
<v Speaker 1>and she says, almost two months ago, David and Mary

0:52:40.960 --> 0:52:43.120
<v Speaker 1>found out that their spouses were having an affair, so

0:52:43.200 --> 0:52:45.720
<v Speaker 1>I decided to reach out and then we got physical.

0:52:45.960 --> 0:52:51.359
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, maybe they're not. Like, maybe David is keeping

0:52:51.360 --> 0:52:53.960
<v Speaker 1>it a secret because him and his wife are working

0:52:54.000 --> 0:52:57.440
<v Speaker 1>through this, the infidelity. I think it sounds pretty much

0:52:57.480 --> 0:53:01.120
<v Speaker 1>like their separated. The fact that he's like, she's clearly

0:53:01.160 --> 0:53:04.000
<v Speaker 1>stating you can go pick up chicks. Clearly there's information

0:53:04.040 --> 0:53:06.239
<v Speaker 1>we don't have, but he's in the mode where he's

0:53:06.320 --> 0:53:09.839
<v Speaker 1>now single. And also he could be just having so

0:53:09.920 --> 0:53:12.080
<v Speaker 1>much stuff to work through right now, because if you

0:53:12.280 --> 0:53:15.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe he is in the process of getting a separation,

0:53:15.239 --> 0:53:17.239
<v Speaker 1>getting divorce and having to focus on that while also

0:53:17.280 --> 0:53:20.840
<v Speaker 1>still working, and then he obviously is a human wants comfort,

0:53:21.160 --> 0:53:24.640
<v Speaker 1>and so Anonymous is giving him that. So maybe Anonymous,

0:53:25.000 --> 0:53:28.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe there's a reason why he's definitely not ready for

0:53:28.080 --> 0:53:30.239
<v Speaker 1>a relationship. So I would have no expectations in that,

0:53:30.480 --> 0:53:34.239
<v Speaker 1>and Anonymous, if you can't handle that part of it

0:53:34.320 --> 0:53:36.520
<v Speaker 1>not potentially being in a relationship, then you should back off.

0:53:36.560 --> 0:53:39.320
<v Speaker 1>But also Anonymous Hays has a lot going on. Anonymous

0:53:39.360 --> 0:53:41.759
<v Speaker 1>said that she went through a similar situation five years ago,

0:53:41.960 --> 0:53:46.880
<v Speaker 1>so she can um kind of understand the process that

0:53:46.960 --> 0:53:49.440
<v Speaker 1>he's going through right now, so maybe she can, you know,

0:53:49.680 --> 0:53:51.560
<v Speaker 1>understand that things are going to move a little bit slowly,

0:53:51.600 --> 0:53:53.480
<v Speaker 1>if they do move at all. But she did say

0:53:53.520 --> 0:53:54.920
<v Speaker 1>that David was the one that reached out to her

0:53:54.960 --> 0:53:58.480
<v Speaker 1>asking if she wants to hang out, so of course,

0:53:58.960 --> 0:54:03.640
<v Speaker 1>because he's probably going through a really crappy time right now, Yeah,

0:54:03.640 --> 0:54:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and he probably feels a lot better when he's with Anonymous.

0:54:06.120 --> 0:54:07.920
<v Speaker 1>But I if I was Anonymous, I would not have

0:54:07.960 --> 0:54:11.080
<v Speaker 1>any expectations. And if you do have expectations either one

0:54:11.120 --> 0:54:14.080
<v Speaker 1>get rid of him or two back off from the situation.

0:54:14.160 --> 0:54:16.920
<v Speaker 1>So give us just one quick answer. Should she initiate

0:54:16.920 --> 0:54:21.840
<v Speaker 1>a conversation to figure out exactly what this is? I

0:54:21.840 --> 0:54:24.239
<v Speaker 1>think we already know what this is. You, what's your

0:54:24.280 --> 0:54:31.719
<v Speaker 1>answer whether she should start the conversation or not. I

0:54:31.800 --> 0:54:34.759
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I don't know. I don't know because if

0:54:34.800 --> 0:54:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm if I'm David and she comes up and says,

0:54:37.719 --> 0:54:41.520
<v Speaker 1>what are we, I'd be like, listen, I'm my wife

0:54:41.560 --> 0:54:43.719
<v Speaker 1>just cheated on me. I think you're wonderful. I think

0:54:43.760 --> 0:54:46.239
<v Speaker 1>you're great, but I just need to figure out my

0:54:46.280 --> 0:54:48.440
<v Speaker 1>stuff right now. I think that's exactly how the conversation

0:54:48.520 --> 0:54:50.080
<v Speaker 1>is going to go down. That's fine. I think that

0:54:50.200 --> 0:54:52.759
<v Speaker 1>that'd be good for both Anonymous and David. I think

0:54:52.800 --> 0:54:55.799
<v Speaker 1>that it never is a bad thing to try to

0:54:55.800 --> 0:54:58.040
<v Speaker 1>get a better understanding of how things are. Where things

0:54:58.080 --> 0:54:59.319
<v Speaker 1>You're right, You're right at the end of the day,

0:54:59.320 --> 0:55:05.080
<v Speaker 1>you're absolutely right. Yeah, needs to say. The hard thing

0:55:05.120 --> 0:55:06.719
<v Speaker 1>is it's like, even if she goes like, no pressure,

0:55:06.760 --> 0:55:08.799
<v Speaker 1>I know you need to like figure this out, it's

0:55:08.800 --> 0:55:12.319
<v Speaker 1>still like, but I want a serious relationship. It's not

0:55:12.360 --> 0:55:14.560
<v Speaker 1>going to end well, I agree, I think we already

0:55:14.560 --> 0:55:16.320
<v Speaker 1>know where it's going. Time she needs to hear it

0:55:16.400 --> 0:55:18.960
<v Speaker 1>because he might say, I'm actually like thoroughly enjoying your

0:55:18.960 --> 0:55:21.360
<v Speaker 1>company through this process, and that would bring her a

0:55:21.400 --> 0:55:23.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of peace. Or he might say just to let

0:55:23.200 --> 0:55:26.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm literally not looking for anything serious, like

0:55:26.480 --> 0:55:27.960
<v Speaker 1>my wife and I are still trying to figure out

0:55:28.000 --> 0:55:29.839
<v Speaker 1>what we're figuring out. Yeah, if I was an honest

0:55:29.880 --> 0:55:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I would try to think back about how I was

0:55:32.080 --> 0:55:34.560
<v Speaker 1>feeling during that time, and then that put yourself in

0:55:34.640 --> 0:55:37.520
<v Speaker 1>david shoes and hopefully you can understand a little bit better.

0:55:37.640 --> 0:55:40.560
<v Speaker 1>So so it's the animous then for an anonymous reach

0:55:40.600 --> 0:55:43.359
<v Speaker 1>out to him, but come at him like, look, I

0:55:43.400 --> 0:55:44.879
<v Speaker 1>want to be here for you. If you need to help,

0:55:44.920 --> 0:55:46.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm here, but for my own sanity, I need to

0:55:46.719 --> 0:55:48.919
<v Speaker 1>understand about like where you're coming at, what you're coming

0:55:48.920 --> 0:55:50.080
<v Speaker 1>out this. I think she's be like, I'm kind of

0:55:50.080 --> 0:55:53.000
<v Speaker 1>getting feelings. Yeah, I think that's I think that's exactly

0:55:53.000 --> 0:55:55.000
<v Speaker 1>how his approach. But I want her to write us

0:55:55.040 --> 0:55:57.440
<v Speaker 1>back in once this happens. Anymous, if you listen to this,

0:55:57.480 --> 0:55:59.400
<v Speaker 1>we want to keep updated with you and David and

0:55:59.480 --> 0:56:02.040

0:56:02.040 --> 0:56:03.600
<v Speaker 1>we didn't really know much about We don't know anything

0:56:03.600 --> 0:56:05.200
<v Speaker 1>about Mary. I don't know why Mary is a factor

0:56:05.239 --> 0:56:08.560
<v Speaker 1>in this story. I don't know. Mary's a coworker who's

0:56:08.640 --> 0:56:12.040

0:56:54.920 --> 0:56:57.200
<v Speaker 1>which is what I always refer to people to do. Anyways,

0:56:57.239 --> 0:56:59.480
<v Speaker 1>anything we say to the opposite um, thank you to

0:56:59.480 --> 0:57:01.200
<v Speaker 1>the listeners, thank you to the emailers, thank you to

0:57:01.280 --> 0:57:03.800
<v Speaker 1>you guys. Thank you to Tore for once again chiming

0:57:03.800 --> 0:57:06.400
<v Speaker 1>in with some great information. It's always nice having a

0:57:06.400 --> 0:57:09.440
<v Speaker 1>female perspective because Dean and I sometimes just ramble and

0:57:09.680 --> 0:57:12.600
<v Speaker 1>sound like little boys. So remember what she said, man

0:57:12.600 --> 0:57:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and boys suck. Man, boys suck. Jean, we suck, suck, suck, sucks,

0:57:17.920 --> 0:57:22.480
<v Speaker 1>sucks um Tori's opinions. Toris like a tomboy though, so

0:57:23.760 --> 0:57:26.320
<v Speaker 1>but I like that. She's you got a hard exterior,

0:57:26.440 --> 0:57:29.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, your tough chick, but you really just sap, teach,

0:57:29.800 --> 0:57:31.440
<v Speaker 1>keep down. It's like it's like a two and a

0:57:31.480 --> 0:57:34.280
<v Speaker 1>half boys and the girl. I guess I'll take that

0:57:34.320 --> 0:57:36.840
<v Speaker 1>as what it is. I guess, thank you, say thank you.

0:57:37.120 --> 0:57:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I don't know. I got nothing for
