Speaker 1: Hell I Suck At Dating with Dean Angler and Dared Haben.
Speaker 1: I hear radio podcast. Hey, welcome back to help buy
Speaker 1: Suck at Dating and I heard radio podcast. I am
Speaker 1: of course Jared have been joined by no one. Dean
Speaker 1: Anglert will be coming whenever he shows up. He's running
Speaker 1: a few minutes late. I now listen. Everybody's a little
Speaker 1: shocked by it. He's usually always on time. This never happens,
Speaker 1: so we'll give him the benefit of the doubt. But
Speaker 1: we're gonna start off the podcast and then Dean is
Speaker 1: going to be joining me very shortly. But I kind
Speaker 1: of wanted to talk about what's going on in my
Speaker 1: life anyway, because, as you guys, or some of you
Speaker 1: may know, I actually just recently moved from the West
Speaker 1: Coast to the East coast. Ashley and I are officially
Speaker 1: once again East Coasters. We were living in l A
Speaker 1: for the past. I was there ever since late two
Speaker 1: thousand seventeen, and Ashley had been there since two thousand fifteen.
Speaker 1: So I moved over there. It's kind of a funny story.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I told about it on the podcast before it.
Speaker 1: As you guys know, Nick Viall is a good friend
Speaker 1: of mine and he texted me in two thousand seventeens
Speaker 1: was after he was the Bachelor and after things didn't
Speaker 1: work out with Vanessa, and he was like, dude, just
Speaker 1: moved to Los Angeles. You never moved outside Rhode Island.
Speaker 1: You don't know what the rest of the world is like.
Speaker 1: Just come live with me in Los Angeles for a
Speaker 1: little while, and if you hate it, you can always
Speaker 1: move back. And I was like, all right, I guess
Speaker 1: I really have no reason not to like. My job
Speaker 1: was super good to me. They were very flexible. I
Speaker 1: always knew that if I left that I'd always have
Speaker 1: some sort of position when I came back. So I
Speaker 1: ended up quitting my job moving out to Los Angeles
Speaker 1: in October of two thousand and seventeen. Uh in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles lived with Nick. Did not enjoy myself. I'm not
Speaker 1: a big l a guy. I It's so funny too,
Speaker 1: because I'm such a movie buff and Hollywood has always
Speaker 1: been a glitter in my eye, like Hollywood, you know,
Speaker 1: and going to the Chinese Theater and and seeing the
Speaker 1: Hollywood Hills and there was it was just so magical.
Speaker 1: I've watched La La Land millions of times because of
Speaker 1: my love of love for Hollywood. And then I got
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles and I realized it's not like it
Speaker 1: is in the movies. You know, they really do have
Speaker 1: that movie magic, because when you get to Los Angeles, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it has its issues and it's you know,
Speaker 1: overly populated and it's crowded. In my opinion, there are
Speaker 1: a lot of areas that just feel dirty. Uh you know,
Speaker 1: there's all cracks in the sidewalk from from earthquakes, not
Speaker 1: crack addicts. I mean there may be some too, but
Speaker 1: we're not going to talk about that. Um, but it
Speaker 1: just wasn't it wasn't my vibe. It wasn't my what
Speaker 1: I wanted. But uh, of course I went back for
Speaker 1: Christmas break to Rhode Island to visit my family. And
Speaker 1: then this was at the time when Ashley was on
Speaker 1: Winter Games she started dating someone else. I started realizing
Speaker 1: I was a jackass. I mean I already knew I
Speaker 1: was jackass, but you know, then I was actively like
Speaker 1: telling people I was a jackass, including Ashley. And then
Speaker 1: that's when we started dating in early two thousand and
Speaker 1: eighteen and then lived in Los Angeles ever since. And
Speaker 1: then we always had this five year plan. When Ash
Speaker 1: and I first got together, I told Ash, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: five years I'd like to be back in the East
Speaker 1: Coast to buy a house, graz of family. That's where
Speaker 1: I permanently want to be, specifically in Rhode Island. And
Speaker 1: she was totally down for that. She wanted to go
Speaker 1: back east as well. You know, her family's from northern
Speaker 1: Virginia minus from Rhode Island. So having kids, we wanted
Speaker 1: to be close to grandparents and cousins and uncles and
Speaker 1: once and all that good stuff. And this past year
Speaker 1: with COVID, it just kind of expedited the process because
Speaker 1: everything we're doing, including what I'm doing right now recording
Speaker 1: our podcast, we're doing remotely. Everything we're doing we can
Speaker 1: do in Rhode Island. So there was really no purpose
Speaker 1: or point for us to be in Los Angeles and
Speaker 1: and more paying for Los Angeles prices and specifically especially
Speaker 1: with COVID in California, it's it's been a tough year
Speaker 1: for everybody in the world, um, and then you know
Speaker 1: for California obviously, UM. And so it just felt the
Speaker 1: right time for Ash and I to find they take
Speaker 1: the next step. I feel like I'm from American pie
Speaker 1: saying that to the next step. If anybody remembers that movie,
Speaker 1: that was what they were cheers to anytime, like they
Speaker 1: would have sex or something. Um, but it just felt
Speaker 1: like the right time. And Ash and I had been
Speaker 1: you know, on the East coast for half of the
Speaker 1: past year because of COVID, So we went back packed
Speaker 1: up all our stuff and finally uh made the move.
Speaker 1: And our stuff is currently being driven three thousand miles
Speaker 1: from Los Angeles to Rhode Island. Uh, and we're looking
Speaker 1: at houses, We're looking at land. We've been looking at
Speaker 1: a little you know for a few months at land
Speaker 1: over in Rhode Island, and we're gonna end up over there.
Speaker 1: Right now, we're in Virginia. Uh. We flew in to
Speaker 1: be with her parents for a little while before we
Speaker 1: made our way north. And so it's pretty crazy. It's
Speaker 1: pretty crazy to think that we have no ties to
Speaker 1: Los Angeles anymore after three years of living there in
Speaker 1: five years for aush. She moved there as soon as
Speaker 1: she got off her first season of Bachelor. So this
Speaker 1: was you know, in ring of two thousand and fifteen,
Speaker 1: right before I met her on Bachelor. In paradise. Um,
Speaker 1: so it's crazy to think that there's just no more
Speaker 1: ties to Los Angeles. We don't pay rent there anymore,
Speaker 1: we don't have cars there anymore, none of our stuff
Speaker 1: is there anymore. Um, of course we'll be back, but
Speaker 1: it's just, uh, it's pretty insane. Um. So that's kind
Speaker 1: of like my spiel about moving to Rhode Island. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we're we're in with the in laws once again.
Speaker 1: As you guys might remember, this is where we quarantined
Speaker 1: from March until June during COVID last year. So it's
Speaker 1: not that awkward. It feels like I'm kind of at home. Uh,
Speaker 1: It's it's me ash and and the in laws. It's
Speaker 1: sometimes a little awkward because, uh, you know, ash and
Speaker 1: I are two adults. We like to have our alone time,
Speaker 1: and uh, this is the house that Ashley grew up in,
Speaker 1: so a long time is sometimes a little awkward. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm sure anybody going back to their parents house. Doesn't
Speaker 1: me just say this, It doesn't really you know, uh
Speaker 1: give off sexy time vibes. Let me just put it
Speaker 1: that way, you know, like it's come on now. But
Speaker 1: at least we get to sleep in the same bed
Speaker 1: because we're married. So you know, at first when we
Speaker 1: got together, before we were engaged, excuse me, before we
Speaker 1: got married, we were not allowed to sleep in the
Speaker 1: same bed. It was definitely a meet the parents moment
Speaker 1: where it was like, you know, hey, Jared, keep your
Speaker 1: snake in a cage for twenty four hours in this
Speaker 1: case for three months. But regardless, before we were married,
Speaker 1: uh we I wasn't allowed to sleep in the same
Speaker 1: bed as ash which was actually quite nice. It got
Speaker 1: to spread my legs a little bit. You know, I
Speaker 1: had the whole bed to myself. Ashley definitely hogs the comforters,
Speaker 1: so it's really nice, just kind of like spreading my wings.
Speaker 1: You know, I got the best night's rest I've gotten
Speaker 1: in years back then. So now I understand why some
Speaker 1: couples sleep in several beds. You know. It's just kind
Speaker 1: of nice. Um, but it's good. It's all great, and um,
Speaker 1: it's it's I'm excited. I'm very excited to be back home, um,
Speaker 1: or at least making the move back home. UM, because
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of people out there too can relate.
Speaker 1: You just want to be close to family. As you
Speaker 1: get older, you realize family is the most important thing
Speaker 1: in this world, and it's the only thing you can
Speaker 1: rely on, you know. Like even my dad is helping
Speaker 1: me with the move. Right now. My car is being
Speaker 1: shipped to Rhode Island. Just got dropped off today and
Speaker 1: he went to go pick it up. And it's just
Speaker 1: it's nice knowing that you know, you have people that
Speaker 1: you can rely on. Life is very difficult, and uh,
Speaker 1: it's good to know that you have a team with you.
Speaker 1: But any who, that's kind of my spiel a little bit, like,
Speaker 1: have we heard anything from Deaners? Is he on his way?
Speaker 1: Any word out there? Nada, nada. He hasn't responded. What
Speaker 1: is his excuse today? He said he's finishing up a podcast,
Speaker 1: So this is the second priority, this podcast. I know.
Speaker 1: So for three years, you think he'd have some investment
Speaker 1: in here, and we just texted and deemed question mark, Well,
Speaker 1: we do have a great podcast coming up. I do
Speaker 1: want to tell you about the guests that we have.
Speaker 1: It is Tiffany Paulson. Now, Tiffany Paulson. Everybody is excited
Speaker 1: for Tiffany to come on this podcast. You can hear
Speaker 1: my dogs freaking out in the background there, like Tiffany. Holy,
Speaker 1: no way, you got Tiffany Poulson on the podcast today.
Speaker 1: They're losing their minds over there. Uh, sorry about that. Hey,
Speaker 1: this is what happens when you record virtually sometimes you know,
Speaker 1: you've got dogs freaking on the background for god knows why.
Speaker 1: Sure it's some sort of mailman or package that they're
Speaker 1: losing their minds over. But anyway, Tiffany Poulson is on
Speaker 1: the podcast today. She is the writer of the Netflix
Speaker 1: movie Holiday, which came out last year with uh it
Speaker 1: is who is it? Emma Roberts stars in it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Emma Roberts stars in it. Uh and Tiffany Polson wrote
Speaker 1: that movie for a Netflix, so it's pretty impressive. She
Speaker 1: also wrote a uh, the sequel to Adventures in Babysitting
Speaker 1: back in two thousand sixteen. Now, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you guys know Adventures and Babysitting, but that was one
Speaker 1: of my favorite movies growing up. I used to watch
Speaker 1: that all the time, and I had the biggest crush
Speaker 1: on the Elizabeth Show. I'm not gonna lie like she
Speaker 1: is just she's a good looking gal. Let me just
Speaker 1: say that. Hollow Man. Anybody's seen hollow Man in here. Oh,
Speaker 1: Easton's raising his head when she has her short haircut.
Speaker 1: Not some good stuff right there. And she's um. She's
Speaker 1: Jennifer Marty McFly's um girlfriend. Back to the Future two
Speaker 1: and three, two and three, Yeah, she replaced the other one.

Speaker 1: Oh my god, Elizabeth show. That's right. I forgot is
Speaker 1: she and Cobra Kai at all? In the new series
Speaker 1: season three? Okay? How good is Cobra Kai? I loved
Speaker 1: it and I was not a huge Karate Kid fan,
Speaker 1: Like I was like, whatever, taking or leave it. I
Speaker 1: liked it when I was a kid. It was fine.
Speaker 1: So I started watching it and I think it's fantastic.
Speaker 1: I got way into it, and I've heard it's really good.
Speaker 1: I want to check it out. I just love a
Speaker 1: show that can do flashbacks and it's the same actors
Speaker 1: when they were young. You know, they're not fake hashbacks.
Speaker 1: They didn't hire your other kids to play them that
Speaker 1: kind of look like the adults. They actually gonna flash
Speaker 1: back to themselves. It's awesome. Yeah, alright, well, oh, Becky,

Speaker 1: So I never finished my bachelor's like an idiot. I
Speaker 1: dropped out. I got my associates, transferred to a four
Speaker 1: year school, went to school. Then I started moving up
Speaker 1: in restaurants. I really liked it, so I didn't finish.
Speaker 1: I had five classes to go, and then this past year,
Speaker 1: Actuley has always been on me to finish, which I
Speaker 1: don't blame her. And then with COVID, it was just
Speaker 1: like all classes are virtual. This is perfect because I
Speaker 1: don't want to go in a classroom anyway. I don't
Speaker 1: want to be the old guy being like on the
Speaker 1: thirty two year old surrounded by eighteen year olds. What's up, guys,
Speaker 1: welcome to college. Um so, uh not there's anything wrong
Speaker 1: with that, but I but so, yeah, I'm going back.

Speaker 1: I know, I feel like, is that is that? Is
Speaker 1: that the dude that's married to Ashley? I no, not, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was kind of expecting it. But it's all virtual,
Speaker 1: which is great. So I just literally wake up, go
Speaker 1: to the next room and turn the light on my
Speaker 1: pajamas and I'm in class. So yeah, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's definitely fun. It has aspects that
Speaker 1: are fun, but other aspects that suck, Like you know,
Speaker 1: term papers and I've had to write a few papers
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, I forgot just researching, organizing paper,
Speaker 1: getting an outline done, writing a rough draft, sourcing my material, footnotes, bibliographies,
Speaker 1: like you forget that, just like there's all this nuance
Speaker 1: to it, which is fine whatever, but it's cool. It's good. Well,
Speaker 1: we're very proud of you, Jared. Thanks guys, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Don't be proud of me. Yeah, I still have plenty

Speaker 1: can I please say I absolutely? My god, that's so
Speaker 1: sweet we offered you up. It was so lovely. Thanks.
Speaker 1: I mean, somebody who has an affinity for rom comes
Speaker 1: somebody I always want to meet, So certificate, I want
Speaker 1: to ask, because you wrote the holiday this is a
Speaker 1: dating podcast, what inspired you to make a wrong calm
Speaker 1: like that? The idea of all right friends and benefits
Speaker 1: never work. So let's have of friends with no benefits
Speaker 1: that just show up as each other's dates, you know,
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, you guys were single forever, you
Speaker 1: always had you know, especially kind of I think it's
Speaker 1: got vibes of your romance, which just like such this
Speaker 1: amazing friendship, right, I mean, I've always had that person
Speaker 1: that one or two, I mean one in particular that's
Speaker 1: just the guy that's like such your good friend, um,
Speaker 1: but he's like your step in, right, it's I don't
Speaker 1: know how many New Year's Eves we've spent together or
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. Just come over, we'll get take out. So
Speaker 1: I'm not a loser of being by myself. And so
Speaker 1: I think that that kind of is the inspiration for
Speaker 1: that friend that's like your right or die of the
Speaker 1: opposite sex, right that you're you're kind of guaranteed to
Speaker 1: have a date for those holidays. I feel like there's
Speaker 1: been a rom com drought right, like, ever since two
Speaker 1: thousand and ten, nothing has come out that's like, I
Speaker 1: feel like a classic, right, the last classic? What do
Speaker 1: you think the last classic rom com was made? And
Speaker 1: do you think that the drought is on its way out?
Speaker 1: Because I think it is between between your movie and
Speaker 1: then like Emily in Paris, which is a long form
Speaker 1: rom com. I do think that people are craving that
Speaker 1: lightness in the love, in the humor in today's day
Speaker 1: and age. Well, absolutely mean streaming totally changed, you know,
Speaker 1: change the game, right, because I've been like romantic comedy
Speaker 1: girl forever and they're like studios don't want to make them.
Speaker 1: But I would say my last like super favorite is
Speaker 1: probably The Proposal. Okay, mine is something borrowed. It's a
Speaker 1: good one too. Do we count crazy? Stupid? Love is
Speaker 1: a wrong comin one of the all time greatest scripts
Speaker 1: ever written. I think that movie got me on The Bachelor.
Speaker 1: I'm not joking because I'll never forget. When I first
Speaker 1: watched that movie, I was in between apartment so I
Speaker 1: was living in my parents and I was in my
Speaker 1: bedroom and I really wanted to see it because obviously,
Speaker 1: what guy doesn't have a guy crush on Ryan Gostling,
Speaker 1: and I watched it by myself and I was like,
Speaker 1: I need to go to the mall right now, get
Speaker 1: a whole new wardrobe, like go work out, like really
Speaker 1: just redefined myself. Yeah, that's such a great story. I
Speaker 1: love that script. That's one of the movies as a
Speaker 1: writer that you go like, I totally wish that I
Speaker 1: had written that, Right, what got you into writing? I
Speaker 1: was actually an actor. I was you know, I was
Speaker 1: the proverbial struggling actress. I like to say. I. I
Speaker 1: had a lot of teeny parts in pretty big movies.
Speaker 1: UM just always you know, certainly to be an actress.
Speaker 1: And I thought, well, if nobody ever hires me again,
Speaker 1: I will just write my own movies and direct them.
Speaker 1: And then of course I met a boy who said,
Speaker 1: you must move to Chicago or I will never marry you.
Speaker 1: And I went, okay, I'll love to Chicago. And then
Speaker 1: I sat in Chicago for five years, right waiting for
Speaker 1: the proposal that never came, and I started writing. So
Speaker 1: I just really didn't have a lot to do but right,
Speaker 1: and the second script I ever wrote, I sent it
Speaker 1: off to the ABC Disney writing Fellowships and I won
Speaker 1: this writing fellowship and thought, oh, maybe I should take
Speaker 1: this writing thing a little more seriously. And here we are.
Speaker 1: Is that when you wrote Nancy Drew, that was my
Speaker 1: first studio job out of the fellowship? Was was Nancy
Speaker 1: jo That's that's a huge job. That's pretty freaking awesome.
Speaker 1: It was it was I'm like, okay, apparently it was
Speaker 1: writing things a piece of cake. Do you feel like
Speaker 1: you have led the life of a rom com character
Speaker 1: pre rom com? Like we're talking the first scenes in
Speaker 1: the Wedding Planner, The first scenes are so in something
Speaker 1: borrowed where you're just like that girl who like it
Speaker 1: seems like everything should be going in your direction but
Speaker 1: it's not. Or have you been the girl who's pretty
Speaker 1: much always had a boyfriend? Oh, sister, I can't, can I?
Speaker 1: Unlike the girl that had the wedding planned at the
Speaker 1: Drake Hotel in Chicago with four hundred guests and like
Speaker 1: the ultimate everything, the month long honeymoon in Italy plan
Speaker 1: and then the fiance that said, I think we should
Speaker 1: put a pin in this, Like you were engaged and
Speaker 1: I was engaged. He finally did propose in Chicago, and
Speaker 1: then we were planning the ultimate wedding and then it's
Speaker 1: a long romantic comedy story. But uh yeah. It was
Speaker 1: the night before the big couple shower at the fourth season,
Speaker 1: so it was like a big deal. And he was
Speaker 1: like and I came home and he was like packing
Speaker 1: to sercases, like I'm going to go out to l A.
Speaker 1: And I think we're going to put a pin in
Speaker 1: the wedding. And I was like, oh, he told you
Speaker 1: that he would never marry you unless you moved to Chicago.
Speaker 1: And then you came home and he was like, I'm
Speaker 1: moving to Los Angeles. He was coming back out here
Speaker 1: just to you know, escape for he was like, great,
Speaker 1: like the best thing that ever happened to me, right,
Speaker 1: getting married, But yeah, it was. It was a bad
Speaker 1: scene where I was thinking, I'll just have this beautiful wedding.
Speaker 1: I can always get divorcedly, right, Oh my god, I'd
Speaker 1: put so much flip in time into that wedding. But
Speaker 1: knows it was the best. It was the best thing
Speaker 1: that ever happened. So have you ever had a holiday? Like,
Speaker 1: did you ever, for example, did you write any of
Speaker 1: this all of your own experience? You know a little bit.
Speaker 1: I mean I like I never slept with my best
Speaker 1: guy friend, right can I can? I see you know
Speaker 1: and and and I'm still like the best of friends
Speaker 1: with him today. But there is that guy that you're
Speaker 1: just like New Year's Eve and you know, everybody's getting
Speaker 1: together for the Labor Day barbecue and do you want
Speaker 1: to go together? You know, just like you're ultimate like
Speaker 1: ride or die party date. Um, I still have yet
Speaker 1: to meet, you know, the great friend that's going to
Speaker 1: be the love of my life. So if you guys

Speaker 1: the Australian Ben Higgins all bad. Yeah, because he's a
Speaker 1: really nice guy. He's just super nice guy. He's tall,

Speaker 1: nice new nice new plans that. Yeah. No, I do apologize,
Speaker 1: though I know there's no excuse for it. Um. I
Speaker 1: was finishing up another podcast with a dear old friend
Speaker 1: and uh just lost track of time. So I apologize
Speaker 1: for that. Worries you're so popular. Um I got to
Speaker 1: talk to Ashley and Jared, so so everybody's happy. I'm
Speaker 1: so excited to meet you. Happy to be all right,
Speaker 1: chalking up as a w I think because it seems
Speaker 1: like you and Ashley, you guys might have a budding
Speaker 1: best friendship on our hands here. I adore all you guys,
Speaker 1: but likes especially I have to say if that's okay,
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: totally get it to everybody calls me Mr Ashe and I,
Speaker 1: which I don't hate. Um. So, Dean, I know you
Speaker 1: just joined us obviously, you know Tiffany, writer of the holiday.
Speaker 1: Um so we were just kind of like talking about
Speaker 1: our holiday experiences. Dean. Have you ever one had a
Speaker 1: friends with benefits or two? Have ever brought someone as
Speaker 1: a date that you were like, listen, we're not hooking up.
Speaker 1: I just need a date to this particular thing, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna go with it. Um. I have had plenty
Speaker 1: of those experiences. I think the one thing that comes
Speaker 1: to mind for me is I was dating a girl
Speaker 1: who we were not very seriously dating, you know, just
Speaker 1: kind of like whatever, hanging out as you do as
Speaker 1: year old, and I asked her to come to my
Speaker 1: hometown for Christmas and not really thinking about the implications
Speaker 1: of what that would mean. And then after the fact
Speaker 1: she actually never ended up coming for Christmas, but she
Speaker 1: had made mention about how she thought we were more
Speaker 1: because I even asked accident of the invite for her
Speaker 1: to come over for Christmas. That kind of thing, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Because I do think I agree
Speaker 1: that by bringing someone home for the holidays or wherever,
Speaker 1: it's like spending a holiday with someone, um, it kind
Speaker 1: of puts I wouldn't say, like pressure on the relationship,
Speaker 1: but it does kind of imply that there's more going
Speaker 1: on than than maybe other us. That's legitimately the opening
Speaker 1: to my movie, right She's to meet the parents for
Speaker 1: Christmas on the third day, and he's like, you know
Speaker 1: this doesn't mean anything, right, She's like of course, And
Speaker 1: and the thing is guys are so obtuse and so
Speaker 1: stupid either, same girl, same experience. My father was in
Speaker 1: town and I was like, yeah, my dad's here, like
Speaker 1: do you want to go get dinner? Meet you and
Speaker 1: my dad? Not even thinking about it, just like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm going to dinn with my dad, Like do you
Speaker 1: want to come? And just like kind of hang out
Speaker 1: with us. Uh. And then like a month later, she
Speaker 1: was like, well, you took me to dinner with your dad,
Speaker 1: Like how is this not more serious than you thought?
Speaker 1: And I was like, I literally didn't even think about
Speaker 1: that until you just said something. Just now, I think
Speaker 1: guys are just like that, really that obtuse, Like we
Speaker 1: know they play it, but I think secretly we're going
Speaker 1: don't really know what's going on. I honestly think we
Speaker 1: are that dense and we just understand the consequences because
Speaker 1: I've brought a girl to meet my parents. I was
Speaker 1: in the same boat as Dean where I was like, Hey,
Speaker 1: do you just want to like grab dinner with my parents?
Speaker 1: I was supposed to go dinner with them, you can come,
Speaker 1: And it was somebody that we kind of knew that
Speaker 1: we weren't in a relationship, but we were hanging out,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't going anywhere. And at the time, I
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, I guess it's kind of weird that
Speaker 1: you meaning my parents, but it's not that weird. And
Speaker 1: thinking back on it, I'm like, man, yeah, that was
Speaker 1: like a big step. What the hell was I thinking?
Speaker 1: What was I thinking? Yeah, I think guys are stupid. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna yeah, you write that down. Guys are stupid.
Speaker 1: That is the title of my next movie. I like,
Speaker 1: guys are stupid. What about the flip flop of that, Like,
Speaker 1: let's say, Jared, have you ever been invited to meet
Speaker 1: a girl's parents and did you take that as her
Speaker 1: trying to progress a relationship and tipping the supplies to
Speaker 1: you as well? Have you ever invited a guy to
Speaker 1: meet your parents or whatever? Um? And is that kind
Speaker 1: of like skew kind of like makes an imbalance in
Speaker 1: the relationship in a weird way, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever been I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: of an example where I was invited to meet someone's
Speaker 1: parents and I thought, this is really too soon and awkward.
Speaker 1: I don't think I could do it. Never think of anybody.
Speaker 1: And it has been a while that I've brought anybody
Speaker 1: to meet my family. It's never been anyone they've liked.
Speaker 1: It's always the like, we hate him, he's awful. Right.
Speaker 1: I've had that experience with my with my best friends.
Speaker 1: My two best friends in the whole wide world met
Speaker 1: an next girlfriend of mine, and then after the fact,
Speaker 1: they called me separately, without even talking to each other.
Speaker 1: They called me separately and they're like, are you are
Speaker 1: you like really dating that girl? Like is she actually
Speaker 1: your girlfriend? And I was like, yeah, what do you mean?
Speaker 1: She's nice? Right? And they were like she was so
Speaker 1: mean and callous to us all dinner long, And I
Speaker 1: was like, holy how you're right. Maybe I should. Guys
Speaker 1: are dense. We're all gu So Tiffany, I want to
Speaker 1: ask you about that. How much importance do you put
Speaker 1: on family approval when dating a significant other? Well, I
Speaker 1: think it's nice. I mean clearly I put zero, because
Speaker 1: you know, ut too many winners hump. But you know,
Speaker 1: I think I think that's like the ultimate right, Like
Speaker 1: probably if you're with the right person, that really is
Speaker 1: the person that you're going to be with or you
Speaker 1: should be with. Then I think inherently your people are
Speaker 1: gonna like them, right. Yeah. If I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: if that situation where you're like, no, I'm with this
Speaker 1: wonderful person and everybody in your life just doesn't see it,
Speaker 1: that probably doesn't equate. Yeah, that's a huge red flag.
Speaker 1: I see. It's a huge red flag to me because
Speaker 1: a lot of friends will say, oh, my my family
Speaker 1: doesn't like them, but they just don't know them as
Speaker 1: I know them. Most of the time. I feel like
Speaker 1: it happens with guys like it will be a girl
Speaker 1: that's describing this about a guy saying that they just
Speaker 1: don't understand him, and I'm like, do they not understand him?
Speaker 1: Or are you just blinded right now? And you're you know,
Speaker 1: you're just looking at things through rose colored glasses. Um,
Speaker 1: Because like I always said that, I wanted to be
Speaker 1: with someone who my friends and family could hang out
Speaker 1: with when I'm not there, and that's like the deaf
Speaker 1: nitition of Ashley. So I was very lucky about department.
Speaker 1: I had a I don't know if I shared this
Speaker 1: on last week's podcast, but I was just in Montana
Speaker 1: scheme with my brother for about a week, and he
Speaker 1: doesn't drink alcohol that much, but one night we had
Speaker 1: drank a few too many beers and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: like obviously you the more beer as you drink, the
Speaker 1: more honest your conversation becomes. And he made some passing comments.
Speaker 1: He was like, he like sipped his beer, looked over
Speaker 1: at me. He's like, Deean, I'm really proud of you
Speaker 1: for finally getting it right with Kaylin. And I was like,
Speaker 1: oh wow. He was like, you know, he's like given
Speaker 1: like his vote of approval for it, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's really not what I expect you to say, but
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. That's the ultimate right. You just want
Speaker 1: your people to love your person as much as you do, absolutely,
Speaker 1: And I've always kind of been to the tune of
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily need other people's like approval of who
Speaker 1: I'm dating. But then, like like I said, with my friends,
Speaker 1: like they called me and they asked me why, and
Speaker 1: then my brother said that this is obviously separate, separate occasions, um,
Speaker 1: And I was like it just it does make you
Speaker 1: feel warm and fuzzy to know that your family approves
Speaker 1: with a person you're talking to work and I just
Speaker 1: need to say that she's amazing too. Oh yeah, she's fantastic.
Speaker 1: I mean I could we can call her over here
Speaker 1: and get her in the room, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's too many co host for
Speaker 1: the episode played, I was discushing with Jared, like I
Speaker 1: am I am the Ultimate Bachelor Nation. I mean, I
Speaker 1: was like, at one point I wanted to be on
Speaker 1: the Bachelorette and went through the whole thing. It was
Speaker 1: going to be this is like the top secret of
Speaker 1: but and I was just I was going up for
Speaker 1: a big studio job, and I just had this image
Speaker 1: of like walking into a meeting with like the president
Speaker 1: of a studio that had seen me in a bikini
Speaker 1: in a hot tap, right, And I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I could do it, Like never mind,
Speaker 1: it's a secret dream. I will just I'll be a
Speaker 1: fan from the outside. So I think you made the
Speaker 1: right right. I don't know, Like you guys are like
Speaker 1: doing fantastic now you come off of that show and
Speaker 1: you you so well and get to like spin it
Speaker 1: into other things. I think that's amazing. Totally knock on
Speaker 1: one Dean and myself got super lucky, absolutely very very lucky, Tiffany.
Speaker 1: I think the difference is is you actually have a
Speaker 1: legitimate talent necessarily, you don't need the boost of the
Speaker 1: Bachelor to kind of being cute and charming and being
Speaker 1: able to hold your own and have a conversation. Those
Speaker 1: are you know, those are a good time. I was
Speaker 1: surprised you puys have done like pasts a lot. We've
Speaker 1: been doing this since two thousand eighteen. Dean's been doing
Speaker 1: it since two thousand and seventeen, that's right, But I
Speaker 1: was I was too bad on my own, so we
Speaker 1: had to bring him more in there, the big guns, Jared.
Speaker 1: That really put us out into the stratosphere. If I'm
Speaker 1: the big guns, we've got serious issues, Tiffany. I wanted
Speaker 1: to ask you two things. One, you wrote the sequel.
Speaker 1: I believe it was a sequel to Adventures in Babysitting
Speaker 1: back in two thousands and sixteen. And the reason I
Speaker 1: bring this up is because Adventures in Babysitting it was
Speaker 1: a movie that I watched probably i'm not joking fifty
Speaker 1: times as a kid, and I had the biggest crush
Speaker 1: on Elizabeth Shoe were you just in love with the
Speaker 1: Adventures and Babysitter as a kid, or was this like
Speaker 1: an opportunity that came in even know I was obsessed
Speaker 1: with it. I was obsessed with it. Yes, so when
Speaker 1: I got an opportunity to come and pitch on that project,
Speaker 1: Plus it was Linda Opost was the producer, like she
Speaker 1: is an icon of Hollywood. So getting an opportunity to
Speaker 1: work with Linda and you know, reimagine that Ultimate classic,
Speaker 1: was so excited. We wanted to get Elizabeth Shoe so
Speaker 1: bad for whatever reason, you know, everybody's busier book. We
Speaker 1: couldn't get her, But yes, it was thrilling for me
Speaker 1: and to get Sabrina Carpenter and Sophia, who are amazing.
Speaker 1: I'm actually like getting ready to go to have another
Speaker 1: project with Sabrina that I'm super excited about. That's so exciting. Well,
Speaker 1: you just either needed Elizabeth Shoe or thor either one
Speaker 1: really or wait, who played him because he's super famous. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean Chris Hemsworth played him now, but in the
Speaker 1: movie Inventors and Babysitting, I don't know who the actor was.
Speaker 1: It kind of looked like Fabio, but Vincent that's who
Speaker 1: it was really Yeah, I'm pretty sure a blonde Vincent
Speaker 1: Dinofrio who's like a super badass gangster the best. Were
Speaker 1: you obsessed with me? Because I feel like these two
Speaker 1: movies always got thrown together. Adventures of Babysitting and Don't
Speaker 1: Tell the Babysitter or No, Don't Tell Mom the Baby's fun. Fact,
Speaker 1: I also pitched on the remake of Don't Tell You
Speaker 1: totally freaking to make that movie. The reason I think
Speaker 1: I correlate them so much one because they both have
Speaker 1: babysitting in the name, but also secondly, the kid in
Speaker 1: Adventures and Babysitting um the main kid, I forget his name,
Speaker 1: but he's also he's the brother and Don't Tell Mom
Speaker 1: the Baby desits Dead. He's the one here again right yes, yes,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I never put that together. He's like
Speaker 1: from movie. But oh I'm all in I know movies. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's so funny. God, I love those movies that it's
Speaker 1: just like bringing so much fuzziness to my body right
Speaker 1: now thinking about Happy Well, you're gonna love my new
Speaker 1: rom com um with Emma that it's it's super fun.
Speaker 1: It's all about fate. It all takes place on New
Speaker 1: Year's Eve, like I love a movie that's in and
Speaker 1: out right. I like a great timeline, you know, bookends
Speaker 1: there one night. I live for movies that take place
Speaker 1: in one night. I like, uh, one of my favorite
Speaker 1: movies of all times, Can't Hardly Wait. And I love
Speaker 1: the idea. I've always loved the idea of like that
Speaker 1: one last party or that one last night you have
Speaker 1: the opportunity to like tell the person how you really
Speaker 1: feel before they go off to college. Or it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's Christmas and you tell the truth that Christmas or
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve, like you want to get the New
Speaker 1: Year's Eve kissing. I like, I live for those movies. Okay,
Speaker 1: have you seen Before We Go? No, I've heard it's
Speaker 1: great though, Yeah, put it on your list. Watching it tonight.
Speaker 1: He it's so sweet one night in New York seen
Speaker 1: what's your favorite movie? I feel like I'm in whatever
Speaker 1: my heavier. I got Tiffany Free Compulson and Jared with
Speaker 1: like the savant movie memory that can recall any movie
Speaker 1: that he's ever seen his entire life. I'm not much
Speaker 1: of a movie buff. I'm not much of like a
Speaker 1: sine cinephile like me I mean, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: feel like I don't have much a contribute to this.
Speaker 1: I know, what's your favorite. I know, um solo, Um
Speaker 1: three Solo is fantastic. I just watched Free Solo. It's
Speaker 1: very good. I love those like documentary type movies. But
Speaker 1: I don't I I say that this is pretty often,
Speaker 1: or whenever I get the chance that I One of
Speaker 1: the things that I admire most about Jared is his
Speaker 1: ability to find to appreciate those and enjoy those things
Speaker 1: so much. Because when I watch movies, I'm just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: good movie, like whatever, I guess, But Jared, like he's
Speaker 1: able to like internalize things so much, like so greatly,
Speaker 1: and like feel these things things, and like have all
Speaker 1: these connections to the movies that I'm like, wow, that's
Speaker 1: like really impressive. Well, I just love the I love
Speaker 1: the art of making a film. I love the idea
Speaker 1: of creating a story, coming up with an idea, writing
Speaker 1: a script. Uh. And then I love the idea of
Speaker 1: collaboration bringing all these different you know, personalities and all
Speaker 1: these different talents because you have a director and a
Speaker 1: screenwriter and and producers that have certain says, and then
Speaker 1: you have actors who have certain perspectives. I'm like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: I think this is what the character will do in
Speaker 1: this moment, so on and so forth, and then obviously
Speaker 1: you have so much more that goes in post production
Speaker 1: with editing and music, and and then obviously while filming cinematiz.
Speaker 1: It's just like the process of making a movie is
Speaker 1: fascinating to me, and uh so when watching it, I
Speaker 1: love trying to figure out why a director decided on
Speaker 1: this particular shot or why, you know, why an actor
Speaker 1: made a decision, like, you know, an acting decision with
Speaker 1: this character in this moment. I don't know. It's it's cool,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's just it's freaking awesome. It sounds like
Speaker 1: a filmmaker, Jared so oh well, thank you. Who's your
Speaker 1: favorite screenwriter, Tiffany Well? I would happy to say I am.
Speaker 1: I am a child of John Hughes, so everything that
Speaker 1: John Hues ever wrote. But but to me, the ultimate
Speaker 1: romantic comedy is When Harry met Sally, So that would
Speaker 1: be no, uh have I heard of it? So I Tiffany, Tiffany,
Speaker 1: one of my favorite coms is When Harry met Sally,
Speaker 1: Because when I told Ashley how I felt like in
Speaker 1: that moment telling her my true feelings, I kinda it
Speaker 1: felt like when Harry goes to the New Year's Eve
Speaker 1: party and he's like, when you find out who you
Speaker 1: want to spend the rest of your life with, you
Speaker 1: want the rest of your life to start as soon
Speaker 1: as possible. It's not because I'm lonely, and it's not
Speaker 1: because it's New Year's Eve anyway. Um. So at our wedding,
Speaker 1: Dean will remember this, we had, um, you know how
Speaker 1: everybody in ceremonies has readings, So we had readings, but
Speaker 1: we had movie quote readings, and we wrote down movie
Speaker 1: quotes of our favor like things that really resonated with
Speaker 1: our love story. So and we had our groomsman and
Speaker 1: bridesmaids recreate the scenes in front of everybody at the ceremony,
Speaker 1: and we did Jerey McGuire of course, the Hello speech
Speaker 1: you had me at Hello when he walks in and
Speaker 1: my buddy, like one of my groomsmen, is up there
Speaker 1: and he does the whole speech. Um. And then we did,
Speaker 1: of course the when Harry met Sally seeing Nick. Nick
Speaker 1: By all played Harry and he was so good. He
Speaker 1: like the entire night before He's like, by the way,
Speaker 1: I have all my lines memorized, I'm off book. That's great,
Speaker 1: Nick perfect, And he was so he committed so hard
Speaker 1: and it was so cool where he's like, well, what
Speaker 1: is it about? Tell me? Um? And then we had
Speaker 1: one more. I forget what the third the third reading was,
Speaker 1: but it was it was a wrong com that Ashley
Speaker 1: and I discussed and really took the heart. Uh So, anyway,
Speaker 1: that's our I love that idea. I want to steal that.
Speaker 1: I'll send you a clip of Nick doing his his
Speaker 1: real It was pretty cool. Um. All right, last question
Speaker 1: before you go, Tiffany, what is your dream project if
Speaker 1: you could do one thing, what would it be? One
Speaker 1: movie to write, one that's already been done, or one
Speaker 1: that I'm gether. A project that you feel so invested in.
Speaker 1: Either it can be an original project or reboot of
Speaker 1: a franchise that you just love, a sequel, whatever, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm always crying, my gosh. Well I
Speaker 1: have two of them. One of them is a script
Speaker 1: that I've written that I'm hoping we'll get I'll get
Speaker 1: to do and it's a throwback to the nineties and
Speaker 1: it came out of a conversation with my agent years ago.
Speaker 1: We're like, what's like the ultimate wish fulfillment? And he
Speaker 1: was like the super Bruce Springsteen fan, and he's like, wow,
Speaker 1: it would be to have you know, the Boss play
Speaker 1: in my backyard and and and at the time like
Speaker 1: this was super obsessed and super obsessed with bon Jovi,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, mine would be that Bonjovi play in
Speaker 1: my backyard. And so from that I wrote this like
Speaker 1: nineties like high School, Oh to John Hughes, where it's basically,
Speaker 1: you know, one night Chason trying to get to the
Speaker 1: big concert and anyway, the band Ultimate Band ends up
Speaker 1: the kids, our parents are gone for the weekend, in
Speaker 1: the band like comes home and plays in your backyard,
Speaker 1: which was a slight rip off from my high school
Speaker 1: prompt when we ditched our dates and brought the band
Speaker 1: back to my house and my parents are out of death.
Speaker 1: But it's just like a fun throwback nineties. And then
Speaker 1: the other the other movie I love that I'm going
Speaker 1: out with seeing that it would be my dream to direct.
Speaker 1: I'm starting to direct, and I'm gonna have one movie
Speaker 1: I'm gonna direct for Netflix hopefully. Congratulations, Thank you, I'm
Speaker 1: doing it with k Chen little Christin Chenowith, who was
Speaker 1: in Holiday eight. Um, she's fantastic, So we're that one's written.
Speaker 1: We're working on that, but I'm doing this. Uh. It's
Speaker 1: basically what you know wild with Riese Witherspoon. It's kind
Speaker 1: of like wild meat. So this is like a realal
Speaker 1: you know reference, but endless love, right, the ultimate teen romance,
Speaker 1: and it's it's too two teenagers that meet each other
Speaker 1: hiking the Appalachian Trail and have this like sits is amazing,
Speaker 1: like romantic but like survivalist thriller. So kind of epic
Speaker 1: g love story. I'm all about, you know, I'm all
Speaker 1: about the epic love story and the happy end. Did
Speaker 1: you guys both have? So I'm thrilled for you. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Tiffany. Those sound awesome and I love the
Speaker 1: idea of a nineties throwback wrong Coom with the band
Speaker 1: and so funny they wrote upon Jovi because another wrong
Speaker 1: Coom moment. One of my favorites is um I cannot
Speaker 1: remember the name of the movie with Ashton Kutcher and
Speaker 1: Amana Pete where Ashton plays bon Jovi. Uh. When she's
Speaker 1: on the Balcony's like, I'll be there for you. These
Speaker 1: five words I swear do you? Um? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: what the hell? No one can think of this is
Speaker 1: that with Amanda Pete, Ashton Kutcher. I can only think
Speaker 1: of the one we did that's justin timor like in
Speaker 1: Natalie A. Portman. Yeah, Friends with Benefits, and then he
Speaker 1: did one with um no, no, no no, it was it
Speaker 1: was justin Timberlake Emil Kunas and then Ashton Kunture and
Speaker 1: Natalie Portman was in No Strings Attached, Yes for No
Speaker 1: Reason movie that came out the exact same time. So
Speaker 1: it was a lot like Love, a lot like Love.
Speaker 1: Do you remember this movie? I never saw a lot
Speaker 1: like Okay, it's it's good. It's it's it's good. But
Speaker 1: there's a scene where he goes after Amanda Pee and
Speaker 1: he's and she loves bon Jovi and he like learns
Speaker 1: to play and he's like playing and he sings like ass.
Speaker 1: But it's funny because he's like, Okay, I'll watch a
Speaker 1: lot like Love. You need to watch before we go.
Speaker 1: I will. You will super enjoy it. Tiffany, this was

Speaker 1: a lot of fun to watch. So check it out
Speaker 1: on Netflix right now. Tiffany, thank you so much. Thank you. Bye,
Speaker 1: you guys, welcome back to help I suck at dating.
Speaker 1: I'm only going to be here for one full segment,
Speaker 1: so I figured I might as well be the one
Speaker 1: that brings us out of the break. It's time for
Speaker 1: our favorite segment. Well, I don't know, Jared actually might
Speaker 1: have just had his favorite segment and the histories helped
Speaker 1: I suck a dating. That that was so much fun.
Speaker 1: I just love movies and I was talking about it
Speaker 1: on the podcast earlier today. Actually being funny enough because
Speaker 1: we were talking about me moving from Los Angeles to
Speaker 1: the East Coast and how I love the Hollywood aspect
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles, but Los Angeles itself is a difficult
Speaker 1: place to live in. It's overly populated, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of going on and just not my vibe. But I
Speaker 1: love Hollywood. I love the idea of movies, you know,
Speaker 1: and being in the middle of that, and so having
Speaker 1: her on the podcast was so timely, um, because it
Speaker 1: was just it was freaking awesome. God, it was cool
Speaker 1: anyway I had. I wish I had the capacity to
Speaker 1: contribute more to those types of conversations because I feel
Speaker 1: like you kind of you thrive off of those conversations
Speaker 1: with movies. One of these days, I'm going to watch
Speaker 1: a movie. There's a lot of conversations you thrive off
Speaker 1: off on the podcast. We that's what we do here, baby.
Speaker 1: We balance each other off, right, right, right right? We
Speaker 1: we finish each other off. Um, let's get to emails.
Speaker 1: I think I think Mark is is seemingly here. Want
Speaker 1: streat for us. Maybe hopefully I am here and I'd
Speaker 1: be happy to Hello Dane, Nice to see you, Thanks
Speaker 1: for joining, Hey, Mark, thanks for having me on my
Speaker 1: own podcast. Hey, you blocked me on your location finders,
Speaker 1: so I didn't know where anywhere I was concerned. Uh,
Speaker 1: what did I block you? I thought, like I just
Speaker 1: when I unblocked you, did I tell you why I
Speaker 1: blocked you? Well, it's because I busted you for golfing
Speaker 1: that day, I assume, right, And then I was golfing
Speaker 1: another day, thinking I was going to be late, and
Speaker 1: so I blocked. I just turned my location services off.
Speaker 1: I'll re enable them here pretty soon when he's not golfing.
Speaker 1: When golfing season is over, isn't ever over? Fair and
Speaker 1: non Southern California, You're right, right, alright? Joe has a question.
Speaker 1: She says, I've been taking care of only myself for
Speaker 1: almost a decade now, and it's been fine. If I'm
Speaker 1: happy now, does it mean that I'm happier being alone?
Speaker 1: Am I alone with someone I felt so lost in
Speaker 1: the past? Is this the reason I've stayed single for
Speaker 1: so long? How do you know if you should stay
Speaker 1: a party of one? Any advice or opinions? That's a
Speaker 1: good question, I said. I laughed because Jill, when you
Speaker 1: said am I alone? Mark, you read it in a
Speaker 1: way like, I'm Ron Burgundy. Uh, Wow, that's a question.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's probably a particular reason why you've
Speaker 1: stayed single for so reason so long. You probably just haven't,
Speaker 1: like you said, you haven't found your person yet. Um.
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's like a time stamp on
Speaker 1: how long someone should be single for or how long
Speaker 1: should it take before you meet the you know, hopefully
Speaker 1: someone that you can develop a lifelong partnership with. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's all just depending on the individual. And Jill, you know,
Speaker 1: you said you've been focusing on yourself for a while
Speaker 1: now and you're happy, and I think that's the most
Speaker 1: important thing is is your own happiness. Uh. And if
Speaker 1: something uh in the form of a relationship or marriage
Speaker 1: comes from that, that's great, that's amazing. But the most
Speaker 1: important thing is making sure that you're doing all right
Speaker 1: and you're happy. So that's what I would focus on.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's great advice. Chared Sidebar, I feel like,
Speaker 1: um so, so her concern is she feels more at
Speaker 1: peace with herself when she's alone rather than when she's
Speaker 1: with someone. I think she needs to find someone. It's
Speaker 1: not like my personal interpretation of this is she's dating
Speaker 1: people that kind of become codependent on the relationship, and
Speaker 1: I think that if she were to find someone that
Speaker 1: is as independent as she is, she then won't have
Speaker 1: to sacrifice herself of identity by being the relationship because
Speaker 1: she can still maintain her independence and her identity in
Speaker 1: that sense. So she finds someone that's similar to her, uh,
Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily rely on the relationship to be comfortable
Speaker 1: in that relationship, then I think that would be the
Speaker 1: most important thing. What do you guys think? That seems
Speaker 1: to me like the best solution at least. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's there. There's no need for a solution. It
Speaker 1: sounds like to me it's all upside because because you're
Speaker 1: gonna have really high standards, because you're only gonna go
Speaker 1: out with somebody if they make you happier than you
Speaker 1: are by yourself. I think the the idea of being
Speaker 1: happy alone is a really great thing to achieve, and
Speaker 1: you've done that a lot. A lot of people can
Speaker 1: do that. So the only way you'll end up in
Speaker 1: a relationship is if somebody's actually make you happier than
Speaker 1: being alone is. So that's great. I love a high standard.
Speaker 1: I love a happy life. I think everything is going
Speaker 1: great for you. I agree with Mark, it's the ideal
Speaker 1: scenario to be happier with yourself and not just happy
Speaker 1: with someone else. And I agree. And that did kind
Speaker 1: of put it into context. Mark, So thank you for
Speaker 1: always being the stage wise words of wisdom. Um. And
Speaker 1: it's kind of it kind of reminds me a lot
Speaker 1: of what I used to say, and I guess I
Speaker 1: still say I just haven't said in a long time,
Speaker 1: is if you like don't want something to happen, like,
Speaker 1: let's say, in this case, you don't want to be
Speaker 1: in a relationship, that means that you're not gonna cut
Speaker 1: corners to force a relationship to happen that's not meant
Speaker 1: to be by not wanting it, You're and then and
Speaker 1: then eventually getting into a relationship, you're gonna know that
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, against all odds and
Speaker 1: against you know, your best wishes, it's still ended up happening.
Speaker 1: And that means you know, in a weird, messed up way,
Speaker 1: that it was supposed to happen, and that even though
Speaker 1: against the laws, it's still is happening, which makes it
Speaker 1: more powerful in my opinion. Yeah, and I think it
Speaker 1: makes you a catch too, like you don't need any
Speaker 1: about it. You're good, so you know, you got your
Speaker 1: whole thing going on. I think that's I think it's
Speaker 1: very appealing to to somebody who wants to date you.
Speaker 1: I totally agree. Yeah, I agree. What about what about
Speaker 1: this anonymous email? And No really was looking closely at
Speaker 1: what of Kalin's Q and A videos and said, you
Speaker 1: mentioned a Cabanah story when answering the question about what
Speaker 1: made you put your walls down for Kalin? But the
Speaker 1: camera died so it wasn't caught on camera. What was
Speaker 1: that story? Oh my gosh, I wish I had an answer.
Speaker 1: I have literally no idea what they're talking about. The
Speaker 1: Cabana story, the Cabanah story. It sounds like the tractor
Speaker 1: story from Seinfeld, a story that made you put your
Speaker 1: walls down for her. I mean, I could maybe call
Speaker 1: Calin over here. I do remember filming a Q and
Speaker 1: A and I do remember giving an answer, and Calein
Speaker 1: looked at me like, oh, that was so nice and
Speaker 1: que to you to say, And then she looked at
Speaker 1: the camera and the camera hadn't been recording for the past,
Speaker 1: like this is this is exactly what she's asking. So
Speaker 1: what story is I just I'm trying to I'm trying
Speaker 1: to remember exactly what the story was. I honestly have
Speaker 1: no freaking idea. So let's ask you right now, what
Speaker 1: was it about Kalin that helped you put your walls down?
Speaker 1: Maybe this will be some sort of reignite. What what
Speaker 1: your original thought was. I've noticed with Kalin and why
Speaker 1: I'm able to put my walls down with her is, um,
Speaker 1: unconditional love from her has been a big part of it.
Speaker 1: Like I can be my dirtiest grungy as self, doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: She still loves me and accepts me and appreciates me
Speaker 1: for being that. Um. I think that's the biggest thing.
Speaker 1: And oh, there was something else that I wanted to
Speaker 1: say with the Cabanah story, I'm trying to I'm just
Speaker 1: trying trying to remember she like she Like I said,
Speaker 1: unconditional love is a big part of it. I think
Speaker 1: that I've had that before, but I've never been able
Speaker 1: to fully receive it until just recently. Um. And I
Speaker 1: think maybe what the Cabanas story was was something like, hey,
Speaker 1: like listen, I just want to let you know, like
Speaker 1: these are my faults. These are my flaws. I like
Speaker 1: to be alone. Sometimes I need to get away. I'll
Speaker 1: just take my van out into the mountains for weeks
Speaker 1: at a time. I want to you to like see
Speaker 1: these sides of me, like I want to just maybe
Speaker 1: like be able to fly Toto Pall for a month
Speaker 1: and not worry about what's going on back here. And
Speaker 1: I think she has always been very encouraging and supportive
Speaker 1: of all those things. I don't think this is what
Speaker 1: the Cabana story. I'm just trying to remember exactly why
Speaker 1: she was so happy with what I said, and I
Speaker 1: honestly cannot. But that's that's why I'm a little with
Speaker 1: my walls down with her. Unconditional love is very very
Speaker 1: nice thing to have, and it doesn't happen often enough.
Speaker 1: I agree, that's a very nice answer. I'm you. What
Speaker 1: you need to do is ask her about the cabana story,
Speaker 1: and then next week we need to hear about this
Speaker 1: cabanda story, because I'm very curious how cabana fits in
Speaker 1: with unconditional love, Like she loved me so much, we
Speaker 1: got a cabanda by the pool. I can go get her?
Speaker 1: Should I go get her? Real quick? Sure? Go get her,
Speaker 1: but I'm always afraid when you leave, you'll never come back.
Speaker 1: More nervous. I know, well, my laptop is eight percent
Speaker 1: battery too, So exactly why one second? Please hold? Battery
Speaker 1: is always almost dead when you're doing angler car battery,
Speaker 1: phone battery lap That battery doesn't mean battery. All right,
Speaker 1: she's coming over. We had this email or email us
Speaker 1: and said one of Caitlin's Q and as videos, you
Speaker 1: mentioned a cabana story when you answering the question about
Speaker 1: what made you put your walls on for killing, But
Speaker 1: the camera died so it wasn't caught on camera. What
Speaker 1: was the story? And I'm sitting here racking my brain
Speaker 1: trying to remember what the story is, but I cannot,
Speaker 1: for the life of me, remember what it was um
Speaker 1: to put me on the spot here. I don't really
Speaker 1: remember either, something about Honestly, I don't really know it
Speaker 1: was so it was like the sweetest story he had
Speaker 1: every I can't believe I don't remember it, but it
Speaker 1: was so sweet. Yeah, I couldn't have been that sweet
Speaker 1: if you don't remember it. No, it was something about
Speaker 1: she remembers how it makes it made it feel though,
Speaker 1: And that's the most important thing. I have no idea,
Speaker 1: but we both are like, Wow, that was so sweet.
Speaker 1: I can't believe Dean just said that. You know, I
Speaker 1: do remember saying I remember saying it. Halfway through. I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm I'm disgusting myself. Can isn't it? It's
Speaker 1: just the most deanter bluetooth here? Give me a second. Alright,
Speaker 1: go ahead. I was just gonna say I love it
Speaker 1: so much because it's the most Dean on alert thing
Speaker 1: for him to give this articulate, thoughtful answer that everybody
Speaker 1: loves so much. And then he looks at his phone
Speaker 1: and his battery died five minutes ago. Look all jokes aside, though,
Speaker 1: I do think that I have horrible memory issues, and
Speaker 1: I my my memory, short term memory is slipping by
Speaker 1: the day. I think that I'm going to have early
Speaker 1: on set Alzheimer's before i turn thirty two. Well don't
Speaker 1: say that. Well just buy my track record alone, like
Speaker 1: I just keep forgetting. You can check for twenty three
Speaker 1: and me I'll tell you if you have a higher
Speaker 1: likelihood for adult onset. I did. I did this live
Speaker 1: at test. Maybe I should check and see the results
Speaker 1: and see what they say I have a slightly raised
Speaker 1: risk for late onset Alzheimer's. Well, I'd rather late than earlier, right, exactly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was pretty happy about Well, sorry for sorry to
Speaker 1: do anonymous for not being able to answer your question.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what though, Like Jared said, we're gonna
Speaker 1: moll it over for the week and we'll come back
Speaker 1: next week and if we can remember it, we'll share it.
Speaker 1: Odds are unlikely, but see something about a cabana. There's
Speaker 1: some cabana that we're missing. I know, yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't think you can get clamidia from a cabana, can
Speaker 1: you know? And it was Gonaria Tractor, the tractor story
Speaker 1: from sin Oh. That's good stuff right there. On the
