Speaker 1: Hell, I suck dating with Dengler Dared Haven and I
Speaker 1: heard radio podcast. Hey, welcome to help I suck at
Speaker 1: dating Jared here. You probably know that already joined by
Speaker 1: Dean Angler. You probably knew that already as well. What
Speaker 1: you might not have known is that ann Elize is
Speaker 1: back with us. Uh analyze, I can't. I was just
Speaker 1: explaining Puccini. Thank you. Yeah, it's so bad. I again,
Speaker 1: I just blame rhode On public school systems. Anyway, we
Speaker 1: have two very special guests are gonna be with us
Speaker 1: right off the bat from the HBO Max show My Mom,
Speaker 1: Your Dad, which is like the best name ever, Karen
Speaker 1: Larrea and Brianna Simone. Brianna, Karen, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for joining us. How are you good? Thank you for
Speaker 1: having us? Thank you? Oh my god, of course. Where
Speaker 1: are you guys? Uh? Where you guys zooming from? We're
Speaker 1: in sunny Miami, Florida. Very jealous. This is like, this
Speaker 1: is a peak in of the future. In twenty years,
Speaker 1: Jared's gonna be on a TV show called Your Dad,
Speaker 1: My Mom. It's something is something went off? Something his
Speaker 1: wife wants that right. But you guys, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for joining us. So I have yet to really
Speaker 1: dive into my mom, your dad, the TV show on
Speaker 1: HBO Max. But can you guys kind of give us
Speaker 1: a like like Phillis in on what's going on with
Speaker 1: the TV show? I read like the you know, the synopsis,
Speaker 1: but I want to hear from your perspective. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: the TV show is basically our college aged children nominate
Speaker 1: us to try to find a second chance at love,
Speaker 1: and we get whisked away and we go into this
Speaker 1: second chance retreat and kind of it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of like what you guys, Hey, Hi, how are you?
Speaker 1: We're living together and basically the parents are trying to
Speaker 1: find love, but we don't know at all that our
Speaker 1: children are down the street in another house. We knew
Speaker 1: they were going to be another house, but we thought
Speaker 1: that they were going to be you know, creating intent
Speaker 1: for social media, telling the dating consultants, you know, things
Speaker 1: that we like and what we like for dates, and
Speaker 1: actually they ended up being the dating consultants and they
Speaker 1: were pulling and manipulating all the strings. So either with
Speaker 1: sabotage dates, make this, make dates happen, set us up
Speaker 1: with different people, and we don't find this out at
Speaker 1: all until we leave the retreat, So this whole time
Speaker 1: we have no idea they're watching. And you know, we're
Speaker 1: a little different with people that we date than our children.
Speaker 1: Of course, that was my next question. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: gonna Brianna, how was it watching your mom date? Well,
Speaker 1: I think before we get to that question, we have
Speaker 1: to at least make it clear if I heard you correctly,
Speaker 1: Brianna was the reason that you were on the show
Speaker 1: in the first place. Brianna came to me, yep, and
Speaker 1: she said, Mom, she saw the show on social media.
Speaker 1: I think it's like on Instagram, I want to do
Speaker 1: this show. Let's sign up for it, you know, let's
Speaker 1: see if you tried all kinds of dating. And I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, that's probably fraud. I don't
Speaker 1: even want to go there. I'm like, it's probably not
Speaker 1: even legit. And it's like, come on, mom, and I
Speaker 1: you know what, go ahead send it anyways. If it's legit,
Speaker 1: we're not going to get picked. Yeah. Picked. So I
Speaker 1: think I think that's an important distinction to make before
Speaker 1: we hear from Brianna, because everything that you see your
Speaker 1: mom do, you kind of have to go like realize
Speaker 1: that you set this up for yourself. Yeah. The whole
Speaker 1: time we were saying there, I was like, we're watching
Speaker 1: your parents, and we're all saying that we don't want
Speaker 1: to watch our parents make out with each other, Like
Speaker 1: the producers sitting there like, yeah, but this is when
Speaker 1: you signed up. Oh, you don't really have a choice. Nice,
Speaker 1: but it was it was awkward. It was definitely really awkward. Well,
Speaker 1: so to Jared's question, then what was it like kind
Speaker 1: of pulling the strings behind the scenes. It was fun
Speaker 1: pulling the strings because it was so powerful we were Honestly,
Speaker 1: it was just we just want to mess with our
Speaker 1: parents and let them go on dates that are going
Speaker 1: to get them out of their comfort zone and stuff
Speaker 1: that they usually wouldn't do on dates. But then you
Speaker 1: watch it and then like you're just wow, I'm watching
Speaker 1: my mom date and she has as absolutely no clue
Speaker 1: that I'm watching. Yeah, my mom doesn't. My mom's a
Speaker 1: different person when I'm not around. That's what I was
Speaker 1: going to say, is how different did you feel like
Speaker 1: your mom was watching her date versus just like how
Speaker 1: she is or how you thought she Because I know
Speaker 1: my mom is always like you have no game, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, you have no idea what I'm like when
Speaker 1: I'm like trying to pick up someone. So how different
Speaker 1: was it? It was? It was very different. I mean
Speaker 1: you always see your mom and parenting like they're taking
Speaker 1: care of you, they're driving you to school and whatnot.
Speaker 1: And then I'm watching her date just like me, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, do I look at that currnty? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: think the answer to that is yes, probably that's part
Speaker 1: of dating. Yes, you can get a little cringey, especially
Speaker 1: to the third party perspective hair flipping, So yeah, exactly, Brian,
Speaker 1: I gotta ask them, what was the reason for you
Speaker 1: wanting to nominate your mom for the show or like
Speaker 1: getting involved in the show. I mean, my mom just
Speaker 1: doesn't have the fuck what do you doing? And she
Speaker 1: just never really listens to me, so like it's work,
Speaker 1: will help me get her to listen to me, And okay,
Speaker 1: it was. It was. I just found it on Instagram
Speaker 1: and I was like, I mean, this might be legitate,
Speaker 1: but it might not be, but I'm just going to
Speaker 1: sign up for it then. So, Karen, how does it
Speaker 1: feel hearing your daughter say that that you don't have
Speaker 1: the best luck do you agree with her or are
Speaker 1: you kind of like, well, um, I absolutely agree. It's
Speaker 1: been eight years since I've been divorced. Here, i am single.
Speaker 1: I don't make the best choices sometimes, um, or you
Speaker 1: know the majority of the time, and this is why
Speaker 1: I'm here or why I was on this dating show.
Speaker 1: Are you dating during those eight years or were you
Speaker 1: kind of like no dating? Yeah, getting yourself out there, Yeah,
Speaker 1: putting myself out there, dating, healing, being in relationships and
Speaker 1: the wrong people with the wrong people, absolutely getting crushed,
Speaker 1: getting okay, then getting crushed and then you know, wrong
Speaker 1: people wrong. Just yeah, good choices, Brianna, it seems like
Speaker 1: you guys are obviously very very close. How much did
Speaker 1: you feel like you because watching your mom date over
Speaker 1: the last eight years, did you feel like, I know
Speaker 1: what she needs, I know what she wants? Like did
Speaker 1: you feel like when you were in the power position
Speaker 1: watching that, you you were like, that's that could be
Speaker 1: the person for her. Like did you feel like you
Speaker 1: knew what was best for her? I mean not to
Speaker 1: sound coffee, but like, yeah, I definitely know wrest for her.
Speaker 1: I've I've watched her through I mean I've watched her
Speaker 1: with my dad and then also passed my dad. And
Speaker 1: it's just I feel like I know what she needs
Speaker 1: and she just needs to listen to me. And you'll
Speaker 1: see in the show she doesn't even listen to me
Speaker 1: in the show sometimes, so and she didn't even know
Speaker 1: it was me. So I mean, I'm I have a
Speaker 1: I have a mom who was I was like a
Speaker 1: single child parent situation for a long time. So I
Speaker 1: saw my mom date all the time, and I if
Speaker 1: we would have had this show, oh my gosh, it
Speaker 1: would have been wild because I would remember. I remember
Speaker 1: she'd come back and I'm like, oh, he's awful. You
Speaker 1: shouldn't date him. And you know, you're totally watching it,
Speaker 1: and you you do, you know, I feel like that
Speaker 1: mother daughter bond, you sort of know, like I want
Speaker 1: to see you with this type of person, or this
Speaker 1: would be good for you, now, you know. So, um,
Speaker 1: I think it's really it's so cool, but I know
Speaker 1: it would have been crazy for me. So I give
Speaker 1: you guys kudos for doing this. I can't imagine how
Speaker 1: like cringe e it was, but also how kind of
Speaker 1: cool to like be a part of that. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: so she says that I date that I put blinders
Speaker 1: on and I have tunnel vision, and I tell her
Speaker 1: it's different dating in your twenties where you want to
Speaker 1: date four and five people. When your forties, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I need to focus. Like, if I like him and
Speaker 1: we're passed on date two, that's who I'm gonna date.
Speaker 1: I can't be dating three guys at the same time.
Speaker 1: That's just not It's not my generation. It's just not
Speaker 1: me personally. There's like you tunnel vision and you get
Speaker 1: focused on one person. I'm like, it's just that there's
Speaker 1: a different dating when you're your twenties versus when you're
Speaker 1: in your fourties and you have all this baggage. Karen,
Speaker 1: did you rect know that you were going on the show?
Speaker 1: He did not know what was coming much on the show.
Speaker 1: What I saw a reaction out of the two of you.
Speaker 1: What why the reaction? I I mean, it's it's just
Speaker 1: it was just really funny because he had absolutely no clue.
Speaker 1: And I have a I have a difficult relationship with
Speaker 1: my father, so I even though from me so um.
Speaker 1: Actually my brother is the one who showed him he
Speaker 1: was He was like, oh, remember when mommy and my
Speaker 1: sister went to l A to go work. Well, they
Speaker 1: went on a show and then like pressed play and
Speaker 1: then my mom went to cross the screen was like hey,
Speaker 1: and my brother was like texting me, like live texting me.
Speaker 1: He was like, just did this, And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you did not just do Like those are my kids.
Speaker 1: I mean he was going to find out sooner or later. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And honestly, it's been eight years. Is it really his boss?
Speaker 1: Can you reach out to you or anything at all? Oh? No,
Speaker 1: really sorry? Yeah, yeah I did get the intel that
Speaker 1: he sat there and watched the whole season though. Nice,
Speaker 1: that's mean curiosity killed the cat. Yeah. I would have
Speaker 1: done the exact same thing. I would have watched. Oh no,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have watch what I said. I would have
Speaker 1: totally done it too. I would have sat there and
Speaker 1: watched the whole thing. It was like an ex husband
Speaker 1: with kids. Okay, yeah, it was just like a random
Speaker 1: ex boyfriend. Now, But if it was like I was
Speaker 1: married with kids and I would sit down and watched,
Speaker 1: especially your daughter's on it, you know, you were on
Speaker 1: it and pulling the strings. That's that's big. But I'm
Speaker 1: sure he was curious, like what you guys talked about,
Speaker 1: what you what you share. Are you guys like in
Speaker 1: your relationship on the show. So I guess you don't
Speaker 1: really talk to each other on the show, right because
Speaker 1: you don't even know that your daughter is there. But
Speaker 1: outside of the shower, you guys were really open about
Speaker 1: like sex and dating, like with both of you were
Speaker 1: open with dating. I think that just because the way
Speaker 1: that she was raised, she's not pretty open about like
Speaker 1: the whole details thing and like sex thing because my
Speaker 1: mom grew up in a Latin household. That's not what
Speaker 1: you do Catholic Latina households, so that's not what you do.
Speaker 1: So she's not into that. So then I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not comfortable going to her about that. But like, if
Speaker 1: I'm dating somewhere, I'm sure that someone, I'll definitely go
Speaker 1: to her, but I'm not gonna get into the So
Speaker 1: now that Briannaette you have set up Karen on a
Speaker 1: date quote unquote, how does that play back to you, Karen?
Speaker 1: Are you setting her up on dates? Are you more
Speaker 1: involved in her dating life? Now? She's she's will like
Speaker 1: even showing it's not so cute, and I'm like, are
Speaker 1: you blind? I have been listen, I'm guilty of being
Speaker 1: like at restaurants or something and I see a kid
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, I have a daughter, and she's like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna kill you. But but here's my thing. Don't
Speaker 1: you think, Brianna, don't you think that since you put
Speaker 1: her in that situation, she's allowed to put you in
Speaker 1: a similar situation at least once or twice, just to
Speaker 1: see how it works out. Oh, I like you good.
Speaker 1: I think you know that too, or just at least
Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean, like, I'll do it once
Speaker 1: for like, I mean, she doesn't have great taste for herself,
Speaker 1: so I pick someone A lot of times. We're better
Speaker 1: with other we're better like giving advice to other people,
Speaker 1: who taking her own, So maybe she'd be good. You know,
Speaker 1: you hit the nail right there, And we're great at
Speaker 1: giving advice to other people, but we don't take it ourselves. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I give her all advice, don't take my own? Is that?
Speaker 1: Isn't it funny how that works out? Because I feel
Speaker 1: like it's just so true. Um okay, so you guys,
Speaker 1: So just to reiterate to our listeners out there, the
Speaker 1: show is called My Mom Your Dad, streaming on HBO
Speaker 1: max um it sounds like all the episodes already out
Speaker 1: there on HBO Max. Right, So if we were to
Speaker 1: binge it today, what would we see. I mean, obviously,
Speaker 1: don't spoil anything for us, but like give us like
Speaker 1: some of the nitty gritty, you know, like what we
Speaker 1: can expect when you start watching it. You're going to
Speaker 1: see a lot of cringe genus. Of course, that's what
Speaker 1: we tune in for, is the cringe genus of course.
Speaker 1: Of course. Um, you're gonna see the parents get messed
Speaker 1: with a lot on their dates, and it's it's pretty hysterical.
Speaker 1: I remember sitting in the house just watching it and
Speaker 1: we were just crying laughing because of like the things
Speaker 1: that that just they would come up with for us
Speaker 1: meddling with our parents. It was it was really hysterical.
Speaker 1: And it's all genuine too. And I I, yeah, reality shows,
Speaker 1: you're like, it's probably kind of fake, but genuinely, this
Speaker 1: really you can't really tell like forty fifty year olds
Speaker 1: what to do. And then like us kids are kind
Speaker 1: of just sitting there like we're just here to mess
Speaker 1: with our parents. It was fun. I gotta ask them,
Speaker 1: what was your main goal out of the show? Was
Speaker 1: it to mess with your mom or was it to
Speaker 1: find her a partner? I mean it was more important
Speaker 1: you think. I mean, like I definitely was trying to
Speaker 1: find her someone or at least get her to open
Speaker 1: up options. But I mean once I got there and
Speaker 1: I learned that I had this power, I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm doing I'm messed with her, and I did. So
Speaker 1: you'll have to watch out for that in the show,
Speaker 1: because I I mess with her pretty good. And they
Speaker 1: didn't find out going in. They had no clue they
Speaker 1: were going to have this power over. They found out
Speaker 1: once they were at their own house, So they had
Speaker 1: no clue at that point, you know. And and for
Speaker 1: the parents, there was for us a lot of heartfelt moments,
Speaker 1: a lot of emotional moments, you know, some digging in
Speaker 1: deep emotional moments as well. Um some sweet moments, obviously,
Speaker 1: some falling for each other moments. There's some shocking moments
Speaker 1: that happened in the in the in the series, so
Speaker 1: some crying, a lot of crying, lots of crying. Well
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta say, you give any child even
Speaker 1: a small sliver of power over their parents, and they're
Speaker 1: going to squeeze every ounce that they can out of that,
Speaker 1: So I can't blame I can't blame you, Brianna Adam,
Speaker 1: not at all. Um, So does the does the show
Speaker 1: end well for you? Again no spoilers, but does it
Speaker 1: end well to the maybe? Like, are you happy that
Speaker 1: you're you did the show at all? I'm absolutely happy
Speaker 1: that we did the show. Definitely need the viewers to
Speaker 1: watch all the way through. We're gonna, We're gonna, Okay,
Speaker 1: some great moments in there. Nice. What is the biggest
Speaker 1: thing each of you learned about yourselves or each other?
Speaker 1: I mean, for myself, I really learned to be more vulnerable,
Speaker 1: which I have a lot of hard It's really hard
Speaker 1: for me to be vulnerable from being hurt so much
Speaker 1: and putting my walls down, and that for myself I learned.
Speaker 1: Um for you, I think being in a house full
Speaker 1: of kids that also have gone through the same experiences
Speaker 1: and watching their parents who have also gone through the
Speaker 1: same or similar ish experiences of going through a divorce
Speaker 1: with kids and being a single parent and being part
Speaker 1: of a single parent household and watching your parents go
Speaker 1: through divorce. I think that really brought us together because
Speaker 1: there were moments that we would sit there and we
Speaker 1: would get really deep into each other and the the
Speaker 1: trauma that being through a divorce does bring for kids.
Speaker 1: I think that brought us way closer then if it
Speaker 1: wasn't about our single parents, if you just throw the kids,
Speaker 1: I think we probably wouldn't have gotten as close if
Speaker 1: it wasn't for that's similar instance that we got went there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's definitely, uh, definitely helps when you can bond over
Speaker 1: like a shared experience, whether it's positive or negative. But
Speaker 1: was there any was there any? Was there any sparks
Speaker 1: or love connection among the kids in like the producer room?
Speaker 1: There there was some love connections. Okay for the kids, Um,
Speaker 1: not for me personally. I did go on the show
Speaker 1: with a boyfriend, but I am single. Now that's not
Speaker 1: with what are you letting America know that you're single? Well? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean all of America does listen to this podcast.
Speaker 1: It's good to know Brianna's single. Is it is it
Speaker 1: because of the show or is it just something else? No,
Speaker 1: you just you have to learn that you're you are
Speaker 1: worth more than some things that people give you. Well,
Speaker 1: I've got a I've got a favorite ask of you.
Speaker 1: Next time your mother tries to set you up with
Speaker 1: a cute young man. Maybe just just humor her for
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know. That's all we that's all
Speaker 1: we can ask is just a little just try at
Speaker 1: least a little bit. Um. Well, great, So you guys listeners,

Speaker 1: I was thinking as a I would love to see
Speaker 1: that show, but from the perspective of an overprotective father,
Speaker 1: and the show title would be my daughter your son
Speaker 1: dot dot dot dies or uh my daughter my shotgun.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Uh. Well, we're gonna take one quick break,
Speaker 1: I think, and then we're gonna get right back to it.
Speaker 1: So stay tuned through this break. All right, everybody, welcome
Speaker 1: back to help. I suck at dating and I just
Speaker 1: got to get out with it and say I feel bad,
Speaker 1: I feel guilty. I feel like I withheld everyone's favorite
Speaker 1: part of this podcast on last episode because we didn't
Speaker 1: get to the emails. So bonus segment. We're going to
Speaker 1: get to one email before we say goodbye. So I
Speaker 1: think Easton's out there. Easton, what you read an email
Speaker 1: for us? I am out here, and I think he
Speaker 1: blurred background for all the listeners out there. He's like
Speaker 1: he's got on a portrait mode or something like that.
Speaker 1: He said, his room's messy. Oh my gosh, this is
Speaker 1: of course, and we had to see it makes us
Speaker 1: more curious. Come on, everyone's listening to the podcast, No
Speaker 1: one's going to see this. Okay, for everyone listening at home,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna unblur my background. Oh there's a day that
Speaker 1: as I made. There's a there's a closet that is
Speaker 1: slightly opened. There's a box back there. My god, it's hideous.
Speaker 1: My wife's gonna kick You can't handle this anymore. Oh wait,
Speaker 1: actually I mean carry Bradshaw's apartment now, Oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: look at that. And that is where I shall remain. Okay,
Speaker 1: before you read the email, have you been watching the
Speaker 1: new Sex in the City? Unfortunately? Yes, I give me
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds of your thoughts. It's an abomination. It shouldn't exist.
Speaker 1: It's horrible. It's the worst thing that's ever been can
Speaker 1: addito television? That truth? Because Caitlin's been watching it too,
Speaker 1: I'd love to talk to Kalen about it. If she
Speaker 1: likes it, I think that's grounds to have her committed.
Speaker 1: It's it's terrible. Okay, Well, maybe guy can talk about
Speaker 1: it all right, Cools. I've been texting Ashley quite a
Speaker 1: bit about it, and she she's on the same page.
Speaker 1: She's not happy anyway. This is from anonymous. I've been
Speaker 1: dating my girlfriend for only six months. It is a
Speaker 1: super new relationship, but so far things are going great.
Speaker 1: Over the holiday, as I was over at her parents
Speaker 1: house in Oregon, my girlfriend and I left the house
Speaker 1: to go grab coffee and one morning, but I forgot
Speaker 1: my phone inside, so I ran back into the house
Speaker 1: to grab it. Obviously, her dad didn't know. I came
Speaker 1: back into the house and I overheard him on the
Speaker 1: phone in the living room talking to someone, and he said,
Speaker 1: my wife won't be home from the third to the fifth,
Speaker 1: so come over then. I miss you. It sounds bad,
Speaker 1: but I don't want to jump to any conclusions. Should
Speaker 1: I bring this up to my girlfriend, I don't even
Speaker 1: know what I would say, and I don't want her
Speaker 1: to think I'm accusing her dad off something. If I'm mistaken.
Speaker 1: Maybe I would feel more comfortable if we'd been dating
Speaker 1: for longer, but I guess if she were in my isshoes,
Speaker 1: I would want her to tell me I'm stuck. What
Speaker 1: should I do scary Well, firstly, don't drop to conclusions,
Speaker 1: because I tell my friends I missed them all the time,
Speaker 1: and whenever Kalin's out of town, I always tell him
Speaker 1: to come over and hang out with me. Um. That's
Speaker 1: I just wanted to preface with that. But I would
Speaker 1: love to hear your opinions. First. I was actually thinking
Speaker 1: the same thing, and I was like, Okay, the hopeful
Speaker 1: version of me is like, maybe it is it's a friend,
Speaker 1: somebody they haven't seen in a while, and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: this would be a great time to catch up. And
Speaker 1: but you know, if if we're gonna if we're gonna
Speaker 1: go the alternate route. But it is something a little
Speaker 1: bit more scandalous. Um, yeah, it's gotta be dealt with
Speaker 1: like super lightly. And and I think the right thing
Speaker 1: to do would be to say something. I think like
Speaker 1: it all just comes down to now, like how it's said.
Speaker 1: And I got to think about that, so somebody else talk.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how I would say. Uh. This reminds
Speaker 1: me of a little movie called Meet the Parents, where
Speaker 1: Ben Stiller sees Robert denn Arrow outside the grocery store
Speaker 1: talking to a very sketchy man and then he hears
Speaker 1: him on the phone talking about something called Operation kom
Speaker 1: and so Ben Stiller is convinced that he's back into
Speaker 1: c I A. But then it ends up finding out
Speaker 1: that it was actually a surprise honeymoon trip for his
Speaker 1: daughter and that was his real state agent that he
Speaker 1: met outside. And Kosumui is an island off the coast
Speaker 1: of like Costa Rica or something. So my point is,
Speaker 1: don't jump to conclusions. Could be anything. I wouldn't tell
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say anything. This this is what I would do,
Speaker 1: because you guys are giving a whole big non answer here.
Speaker 1: This is what I would do. You know the dates,
Speaker 1: you know the dates that are just think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be some suspicious activity. Just go like planned dates with
Speaker 1: your girlfriend at the house during those same dates. Be
Speaker 1: there the fourth, the third, fourth, and fifth every day.
Speaker 1: Don't even give them a second to be alone. See
Speaker 1: what's going on. And then like let's say he's gone
Speaker 1: or he's being suspicious and leaving the house without saying anything.
Speaker 1: That's when maybe you decided to say something. Easton's got
Speaker 1: Easton's got good advice, as he always does what I say.
Speaker 1: Stay out of this. You'll have a dating this girl
Speaker 1: six months. Her dad is up to his own thing.
Speaker 1: Pretend you didn't hear it. That's nice, it's not your job.
Speaker 1: That's bad advice. I'm surprised. I don't think that's bad advice.
Speaker 1: I think what's gonna happen is gonna happen anyway. He's
Speaker 1: this man. If he's cheating on his wife, he's not
Speaker 1: gonna stop just because his daughter's brady new partner has
Speaker 1: poked their head in. Uh So, I think it can
Speaker 1: only cause a problem. It's not really your place to
Speaker 1: get involved with this. You don't even have all the facts.
Speaker 1: Like if he had, like seen the man making out
Speaker 1: with somebody, that'd be a different story. I think you're
Speaker 1: going to cause a problem if you like mention this
Speaker 1: or plan a suspicious outing around the same time. I say,
Speaker 1: back off. I disagree most believe with what you're saying.
Speaker 1: I think that Okay, don't say anything, Sure, that's fine,
Speaker 1: but still try to be in the area. Don't like,
Speaker 1: don't say anything to anyone, don't even let your girlfriend
Speaker 1: know about anything, and just like try to be in
Speaker 1: the house on the third, fourth, or fifth and then
Speaker 1: make your own decisions from there. Like, let's say it
Speaker 1: does end to being a guy friend, but like I
Speaker 1: don't know, like what if the dad is like trying
Speaker 1: to push the girlfriend out of the house for those
Speaker 1: three days as well, and the boyfriend gentle nudge to
Speaker 1: get her back into the house for one of the
Speaker 1: days is all that it takes for them to walk
Speaker 1: in and see something maybe that they're not supposed to see.
Speaker 1: So that's what I would do. I would go, like,
Speaker 1: maybe I've been maybe I listen to too much True Detective,
Speaker 1: but like tomorrow it's like start of Mary Kay and
Speaker 1: Nashley style heist the Dean's going for anyway, that's your email. Well,
Speaker 1: I feel like my advice is the best, So Anonymous,
Speaker 1: take my advice. Ignore Eastern specifically East, and you could
Speaker 1: let take my analysis or Jared's, but just don't take
Speaker 1: Eastern people to put yourself in her put yourself in
Speaker 1: the wife's shoes, you know, like, w didn't you want
Speaker 1: someone going the extra mile to find out whether your
Speaker 1: husband is an infidel or not? I don't know. I
Speaker 1: must like I almost say like if this was me,
Speaker 1: that I would make a list of like all of
Speaker 1: the different kind of pros cons of of like if
Speaker 1: you do say something and it ruins like a marriage,
Speaker 1: and then or if you do say something that ruins
Speaker 1: your relationship, like kind of the different ways that you
Speaker 1: could go about because I almost been like I wonder
Speaker 1: if he could just say something to the dad because
Speaker 1: I think, for me, well, this is the thing. Like
Speaker 1: for me, if I was walking around like with that,
Speaker 1: I would always then be a little awkward like going forward,
Speaker 1: like I think it's going to somehow eat at the
Speaker 1: relationship regardless, do you know what I mean? Like I
Speaker 1: think there is something sketchy going on, You're always going
Speaker 1: to feel like, oh my god, I know that the
Speaker 1: dad is like if he is cheating, I know that
Speaker 1: he was doing something sketch and like I got that,
Speaker 1: you know in my head, I'm walking around with this
Speaker 1: secret like is he going to marry this girl like
Speaker 1: in two years and always think this. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm like going far with it, but like I don't know,
Speaker 1: make like a little pros and cons list, like think
Speaker 1: it through, think what you would say if you're going
Speaker 1: to say something, and and then just like maybe sit
Speaker 1: on it or stopped by the house on the fourth
Speaker 1: and be like started dossier on this man sent an
Speaker 1: anonymous letter, leave it on the doorstep. On the second
Speaker 1: and say, I know what you're up to. Don't do it.
Speaker 1: You know it's good for you. I know what you
Speaker 1: did last summer. Invite Invite the dad like a basketball
Speaker 1: game or something, you know, like something lighthearted. On the fourth,
Speaker 1: and see if he accepts. If he accept great, If
Speaker 1: he doesn't accept, or he might be like, oh my
Speaker 1: friends in town. The third to the fifth, and then
Speaker 1: you're like, there's my answer right there. Bought a bang,
Speaker 1: bought a boom? But what to what extent is his friend?
Speaker 1: I'm just saying there we need answers, anonymous, get your answers,
Speaker 1: and then please email us back. Well, if he's like
Speaker 1: my friend Carl, I think you have your answer. But
Speaker 1: also if it's like my friend Analyie, I don't know,
Speaker 1: you might want to investigate further. Well, were just so
Speaker 1: for the best. I'm sure everything's fine, but you never
Speaker 1: know until you know that's gonna do it. For this
