0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Hell I Suck At Dating with Denglert and Jared Haven

0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:11.240
<v Speaker 1>and I heard radio podcast. All right, everyone, welcome to

0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>this week's episode of Help I Suck At Dating? And boy,

0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I know I say this every week. I feel like

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Chris Harrison. The most dramatic season ever. This is gonna

0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:24.239
<v Speaker 1>be the best episode ever because Jared isn't here, and

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:28.080
<v Speaker 1>that's just is fantastic. Uh. In all seriousness, though, Jared

0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>is going has some some family matters to deal with,

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:34.800
<v Speaker 1>so it will be just me. But Easton and Mark

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 1>have their cameras on um, which is a pretty rare thing,

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:40.159
<v Speaker 1>so I think that they're gonna do you guys want

0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 1>to chime in and say hello, maybe reintroduce yourselves. It's

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:44.559
<v Speaker 1>been a while since well Easton was here last week,

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:45.960
<v Speaker 1>but Mark, it's been a while since Help I Suck

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:47.919
<v Speaker 1>a Dating? A senior here. Well, thank you very much.

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy to be here. You know, I'm an old

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 1>school member of the Help I Suck At Dating stuck

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>army from the beginning, and we're just reminiscing before we

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 1>started recording about back in the day and how many

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>years you've been doing this show. Now, glad you have

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>been a part of it. Hey question, Um, you were

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>in the studio. I think are you back in the studio?

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I'm going in part time. Yeah, I'm going in

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.960
<v Speaker 1>like early in the week. Huh what about like, uh,

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>his secret still doing his thing from home. No, well,

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>he's got the TV show in New York with Kelly

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Rippa and he has a radio show right there in

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 1>the building, so he is in studio for the TV

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>show and the radio show. How is it being in

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the office? Is it pretty like eerie? Yeah, it's it

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 1>was weird. It took some getting used to, but then

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:26.120
<v Speaker 1>it's like riding a bike, you know, you remember all

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>your old routines and you kind of start getting into

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 1>that and it was kind of refreshing to be back.

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 1>But very few are back. It is still a very

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>empty place, which is good. It makes me feel safe

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:37.400
<v Speaker 1>that I'm not surrounded by dozens of people all the time.

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Still a pretty much a ghost town. So it's been nice.

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.119
<v Speaker 1>I've been enjoying it. Action well, why why you even

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>go into the office, though, Like, what's the point? Honestly,

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 1>we're getting it gets into the weeds now. But we

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>had a staff change. We had a guy leave. We

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 1>hired a new woman to join our staff, and it

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>felt weird to me as the producer of the show too. Hey,

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>welcome to the team. I'll never see you in person.

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>It just felt wrong. I felt like I need to

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>be there to help, to guide, to do whatever. So

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.480
<v Speaker 1>that's why I started going in. And for anyone that's

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>listening that's maybe a little bit curious. The show he's

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>talking about is help I suck a dating. That's right.

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.799
<v Speaker 1>We have a staff. Yeah, we're we're hiring a lot

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.239
<v Speaker 1>of new staff, some new producers, etcetera, etcetera. Takes it

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:22.919
<v Speaker 1>takes a village for this podcast. Um, in today's episode,

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 1>we've got some real hot topics that it's it's weird

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 1>doing this with that Jared, because Jared uh is a

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 1>lot better at I guess maybe feigning like interest about

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:39.799
<v Speaker 1>this so you know, like as bad as I want

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>to talk about g G Hadid and Zane Malick breakup, Um,

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>I just I just genuinely have zero input on it

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>because I think I should feel required to, like, this

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 1>is your podcast, can be whatever you wanted to be.

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 1>But see, but the thing about that is this, right,

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 1>So again, for the listeners, a little bit you know,

0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 1>peek behind the curtain. Here we get you know, like

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.919
<v Speaker 1>a right up every week with an email saying like, okay,

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna talk about this. Here's some good thoughts started,

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.679
<v Speaker 1>some good questions. Here's our guest, here's some emails. I

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know who writes it. I I assume Hannah writes it.

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Um and it's it's you know, it's pretty well done.

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty well thought out. So I feel bad like

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 1>skipping over these things because there's a lot of effort

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 1>put in on the back end. I mean, this podcast

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.519
<v Speaker 1>is centered around your shortcomings, like personally, like this is

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:26.239
<v Speaker 1>why of this show, So you know, don't feel like

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.360
<v Speaker 1>you have to talk about other people sucking at dating.

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 1>You can just talk about something that you suck at.

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that they put these together in case you

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>need it. You know, they don't want you to go

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 1>on the and you have. If you come in with

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 1>eight different things to talk about, then you never have

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>to look at the rundown. And that's how it is

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>with the Secresh Show too. If he wants to go,

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 1>then all my stuff can get set aside. That's fine.

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>We're here for whatever you need. Okay, all right, Well,

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 1>see guys are here then, and I need a lot

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 1>for me today. So let's just you know, in in

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>true help, I suck at dating fashion. Let's just do

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 1>like a round table, maybe real quick, and we can

0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 1>all say one thing that we've sucked at in the

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>past week. What do you think about that? Oh, and

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't have to be relationship specific to it could

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 1>just be like a life thing. I'll go first, one

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 1>thing that I sucked at in the past week. Um.

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Maybe maybe we'll do like one superficial one and then

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>we'll go a little deeper on a second one, so

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 1>that way we get a little warmed up with this exercise. Um.

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>I I bought a new motorcycle a couple of weeks ago,

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 1>and I, uh, we did the mirrors on it, and

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize every time I turned the handlebars all

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>the way to the left, it like knocked into the

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>gas tank. And so now my brand new motorcycle has

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.280
<v Speaker 1>chipped paint all over it, and I'm really upset about that.

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Um So that's my superficial one. Uh So now who's next?

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh man? Um okay, uh last night, we'll record this

0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>on a Friday, So last night, Thursday night, was the

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay Arizona game, and it was late in the

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.159
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter, and it was a very good game, and

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>it was very close, and my daughter was trying to

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 1>talk to me, and I was not listening. I was

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 1>giving lipsode because I was doing the whole huh yeah, okay,

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 1>uh huh. And I did finally say to her, Honey,

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry. I'm not listening. What are you trying

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 1>to say to me right now? Because I haven't heard

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 1>a word you're saying. So I did try to make

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>it right and admit that that I sucked in that

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.720
<v Speaker 1>moment of being a father, and hopefully she won't hold

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 1>that against me for too long, But in that moment,

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I sucked at being a father. There are definitely times

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:22.919
<v Speaker 1>where Klin is like trying to talk to me and

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 1>then watching football or something, and I'm like, listen, it's

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the fourth quarter. There's like thirty seconds left. I just can't.

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I can't be bothered right now. I'll talk to you

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 1>whatever you need in two minutes. But that's is that?

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Is that a dick move? I don't think so. I hope,

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 1>I hope not. At least shouldn't she meaning Kleen or

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.840
<v Speaker 1>my daughter always be the priority. Um. The way I

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.479
<v Speaker 1>look at it is, well, well, the way I try

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.159
<v Speaker 1>to like at least spin into my own head is

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>like the game doesn't care if I'm watching or not,

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, like they don't care, Um, but Klin will

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 1>have a reaction as to whether I'm paying attention or not,

0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 1>and that will affect both of us positively or negatively.

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.120
<v Speaker 1>So I guess what's the worst If you just turn

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 1>off the TV and walk away, what's the worst you

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.320
<v Speaker 1>look up and see who one later? Fine, doesn't affect

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>you really at all, right, right exactly. So that's kind

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:12.280
<v Speaker 1>of that's why I'm kind of against what we're doing,

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>which maybe should change that at simple in our lives.

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:16.880
<v Speaker 1>But in the moment, it's just so hard, you know,

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:21.120
<v Speaker 1>it's really hard. You know. I've I've been I've been

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 1>going to a lot of therapy over the last few months.

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 1>And something that she talked about was she my there

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.359
<v Speaker 1>was like, who is the most important person in your life?

0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 1>And I said, my wife, Allison, And she said, that's

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.480
<v Speaker 1>that's wrong. That's not the way you should look at

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 1>It should be you. You should be it should be you,

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:42.040
<v Speaker 1>then your spouse and then your children, that's the idea. Um,

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.920
<v Speaker 1>and uh and I was like, no, no, that I

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 1>can never put myself before my wife, and and she's saying,

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.200
<v Speaker 1>well no, because if your needs aren't met, if you're

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.120
<v Speaker 1>not taking care of yourself, you can't be a good

0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>partner to this person that is important to you. So

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>all that to say, I think you should focus on

0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.840
<v Speaker 1>the football game, give it all of your attention, and

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 1>then when it's over, you talk to your children, because

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.840
<v Speaker 1>their third on the totem pole. You care about the

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 1>football game. You know. I say that kind of as

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 1>a joke, but but also you know, you know, you

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 1>guys are both looking at me like, Hi, yeah, that's

0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:19.000
<v Speaker 1>a point, that's right, Um. But no, you know it

0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 1>did get me thinking about, like, um, when do you

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>when you prioritize yourself over your partner? I think that's

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 1>that's something I think about a lot, you know, um,

0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.400
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like I should every decision I make

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>should be like, oh, how does this help Alison? How

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>does that make me a better husband? You know I

0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 1>think about that a lot. But then, uh, I don't know,

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.239
<v Speaker 1>because I feel selfish every time I put myself first.

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you guys? Got Yeah? I see what you're saying,

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 1>and then you try to like spin it in your

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>head and you're like almost feel guilty or by trying

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:55.560
<v Speaker 1>to spin it, right Yeah yeah yeah, um but uh

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 1>um that I'll have to say, Mark, I don't think

0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 1>you're being a bad parents by by not listening at

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 1>that particular moment. Yeah, the game's on. I mean they

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.840
<v Speaker 1>get it, you know. On the flip side, don't you

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.080
<v Speaker 1>think it should be uh like they should be more

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 1>aware of what Like you're like, you're obviously distracted, right,

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 1>So don't you think that she should be like, Okay,

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe I'll wait, you know, five ten minutes before I

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 1>asked this question or say this. I guess it was

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>nothing crucial by the way she was. She wasn't you know,

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 1>starting with fire or something, And that just emboldens my

0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 1>point even a little bit more so, that's true. It

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.040
<v Speaker 1>was kind of small talkie, it was kind of just

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of random thoughts. So yeah, maybe, but but still,

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I need to be there, I need to be available.

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:39.520
<v Speaker 1>I was the only parent in the house of the time.

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it was out Yeah, I guess I get all

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 1>that stuff. Um, we're you gonna say, no, I I

0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 1>just have this memory of I knew growing up that

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:53.080
<v Speaker 1>if my dad responded with how cool, that meant he

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>was not listening to me. Yeah, there's like he just

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.439
<v Speaker 1>like goes in autopilot, motor whatever. Yeah, exactly, It's like, oh,

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 1>East is talking about some nerd bullsh that I don't

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:07.320
<v Speaker 1>care about. That gonna say how cool. That's pretty funny

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:09.440
<v Speaker 1>in the same vein of all that stuff. Eastern. By

0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 1>the way, thanks for sharing that you're going to therapy. Man,

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate. I appreciate that vulnerability there. Yeah, you know,

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 1>um uh it's important and uh I uh, It's helped

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:24.280
<v Speaker 1>me a lot, and um, I think everyone should do it,

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 1>and I think a lot of people do these days. Uh,

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, and hey, if you're if you're afraid of going,

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 1>you maybe try better help, give better help. But try

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 1>We don't have a better help sponsorship, don't we. I

0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 1>don't think so, but we should have one whatever. We

0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 1>may be the only podcast that doesn't anyway. Um, No,

0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 1>therapy is important. And I started going to a new

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>person a few months ago and she's been great and

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm grateful for her therapy. It's definitely something I

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like I want to get back into as well.

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I haven't done it. Uh. I think last time I

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.559
<v Speaker 1>went to therapy was like three years ago, two years ago,

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 1>something like that. Um, I remember when you were going. Yeah,

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 1>it was a good time. I just, you know, we

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.679
<v Speaker 1>had a great time. That's a weird thing to say. Uh,

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know why I stopped. I

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 1>think I just uh I got distracted and I got busy.

0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:12.440
<v Speaker 1>But like what am I busy with? I don't you know.

0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I just have to do this once a week. That's

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:15.680
<v Speaker 1>my only obligation. What can you do? Do it virtually?

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Because it seems like it would be hard for you,

0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 1>with somebody who doesn't live so much in one city

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.480
<v Speaker 1>for very long, to be consistently going. Yeah, Kalin does

0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.680
<v Speaker 1>better help actually sometimes or yeah she does like once

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.920
<v Speaker 1>a week. I think something like that. It's not a

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 1>bad idea. I don't know, I should probably look into it,

0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.520
<v Speaker 1>especially the past. This is this is gonna be my

0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 1>second thing that I sucked at recently. Um. This this

0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:38.640
<v Speaker 1>end of October, I always get really emotional because it's

0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 1>the anniversary of my mom's passing, and I feel like

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm just very emotionally detached from like everything right now.

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>So I feel like therapy could help me continue to

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 1>work through those emotions, and I feel I just feel

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>like I'm a crappy partner right now too because of it.

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.960
<v Speaker 1>So uh, I definitely need to get back on that

0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:59.679
<v Speaker 1>therapy train. I guess, well, this is shorthand, but this

0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 1>was a read it thread recently and it was what

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 1>was the best thing you learned in therapy? And so

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.400
<v Speaker 1>I have the top like ten things that people said

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 1>they learned in therapy they found the most valuable. So

0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>here's some shorthand for you, some quick therapy, and maybe

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:13.800
<v Speaker 1>this will help somebody when they hear these. So here's

0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 1>the top ten things. You don't always have to be okay.

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Trust yourself except that sometimes you will mess up. Let

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 1>go of judgment over things that don't matter. Ask yourself,

0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:35.480
<v Speaker 1>why start your day with a good attitude toward others?

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Take your own happiness seriously. Self care isn't selfish. Speak

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 1>up for yourself and fake it until you make it. Yeah,

0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.439
<v Speaker 1>but a lot of those just kind of seem like

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 1>like cliche statement. Yeah, just like everything that you see

0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.959
<v Speaker 1>on like an inspirational poster as you walk into like

0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 1>your therapist office or something like that. Yeah, I agree

0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:01.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot, but I do like, um, let go of

0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.319
<v Speaker 1>judgment over things that don't matter. I think we spend

0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of time concerning ourselves or arguing about things

0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 1>that do not matter. And I've always heard that, ask yourself,

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 1>is this going to be a problem in a year,

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and if it's not, then just kind of let it go.

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:21.480
<v Speaker 1>And you're talking more like disputes between um people. Yeah,

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it just the whole worrying thing and

0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 1>the whole yeah, I disputes between people. Yes, yeah, I

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 1>guess I get that. I think a lot of people

0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 1>tend to hold onto things a lot more than they should,

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.640
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure I'm obviously included in that as well.

0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I wonder why that is, you know, like, like so

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:39.880
<v Speaker 1>many things that are just so irrelevant, especially in the

0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 1>big picture. I think people just seem to get so

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 1>worked up about and I'm not talking and think, oh

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 1>my god, I was so upset about whatever that was,

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:49.640
<v Speaker 1>and you realize now that was meaningless. I'm always shocked

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.200
<v Speaker 1>when I'm upset about something and then like a week later,

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to remember what I was upset about, and

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't even remember it, And I'm like, in my head,

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, if I can't even remember what I was

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.440
<v Speaker 1>upset about, how could it have been in portant enough

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:01.960
<v Speaker 1>for me to even be upset about it? You know?

0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:04.800
<v Speaker 1>So I think that's definitely something to consider too, where

0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's it's probably not gonna have a long

0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>term effect, so it's like, why do you even worry

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 1>about it? But I don't know, Yeah, it's it's it's strange.

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't really personally get it, but it

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.600
<v Speaker 1>is what it is. I guess. Um, all right, well

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 1>that was great guys, thanks for partaking in that round

0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.840
<v Speaker 1>table discussion with me about things that we need help with.

0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Because one sucker, I mean, don't you kind of piggybacked

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 1>off of yours Eastern go we need you to do it. Now.

0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Let me think it's I have such a high opinion

0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>to myself, it's really hard for me to talk about this.

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Um I you know, I I we have this, um

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 1>we have this piece of cable coming in from the

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 1>street that is our internet connection, and it comes in

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:54.640
<v Speaker 1>through our basement through this really JANKI um like plank

0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 1>of wood that is like it's now open to the basement,

0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.319
<v Speaker 1>so critters and other debris get in there, and because

0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.040
<v Speaker 1>of this cable getting in. I've told my wife I

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:05.839
<v Speaker 1>was like a week ago, I was going to um

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:09.439
<v Speaker 1>re connect that cable because I am an engineer and

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I know how to do that kind of thing. And

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I didn't do it, and I don't have any doing

0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 1>that today. UM so I sucked at that. I broke

0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 1>a promise to my wife, and uh, yeah, I sucked

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 1>it that. That's I mean, that's a very valid thing

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.760
<v Speaker 1>to suck that. I appreciate you. Yeah, well, I don't

0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:28.200
<v Speaker 1>you just go do it after that? Why don't just

0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 1>do it now? It's not like do anything important. It's

0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna take my internet down. And I've been putting it

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 1>off because I'm afraid that if I cut it, I'm

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 1>not gonna be able to fix it. That's something I

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 1>even though I know how to do it. I have

0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:43.320
<v Speaker 1>the piece. Actually, it's just this is all I have

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 1>to install. Have the piece right here. It's a little

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:50.400
<v Speaker 1>like coax um barrel. If any audio before this, Yeah,

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 1>it's a little coupler. I think I cut it and

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 1>then re recrimp it. That's all I have to do.

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 1>But I would take two minutes, maybe two minutes, two minutes.

0:14:58.280 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, I don't know if this happens to you guys.

0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I like a whole list of things that take two

0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.560
<v Speaker 1>minutes that I like continuously put off because they take

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 1>two minutes and then um, then they don't get done

0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:09.800
<v Speaker 1>and it's like it's two minutes to get it over with.

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.120
<v Speaker 1>But this thing I'm afraid of really screwing up and

0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.280
<v Speaker 1>then we don't have internet, and that's that's my fear. Well,

0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 1>you know what they say, Um, you know, a hundred

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.080
<v Speaker 1>shores that take two minutes would take you two hundred minutes,

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:25.440
<v Speaker 1>that's right, and that's but just over three hours. Damn. Yeah. Yeah,

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.640
<v Speaker 1>So I mean I definitely see where you're coming from.

0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Um oh, there was something I want to talk about,

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.600
<v Speaker 1>and now I can't really remember what it was. Eastern

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:38.680
<v Speaker 1>You successfully derailed my thought process here. Congratulations, um Gi

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Hiti Saint Malick. You know, it definitely wasn't any of

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.240
<v Speaker 1>those things. It was more of just like a topical,

0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:48.120
<v Speaker 1>lighthearted thing for us to talk about. Um, what are

0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.040
<v Speaker 1>you guys gonna be for Halloween this year? That was

0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't it? By the way, I just I'm just

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.040
<v Speaker 1>stalling for time at this point. Well, this is airing

0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Sunday night Monday morning, so Halloween will have come and gone.

0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 1>So but I not going to be anything this year.

0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I kind of take my kids lead on that,

0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.400
<v Speaker 1>although my oldest is going is Guy Fieri, which I

0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 1>think is hilarious. Is hilarious and she's what she's sixteen

0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 1>or something, fifteen and a half. Nice and so I

0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:15.720
<v Speaker 1>was proud of that costume. I think that's great. And

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I think the other one is cow Girl Okay, very cool,

0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:21.840
<v Speaker 1>very cool east and I feel like you've got something

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 1>big Planta. My my wife and I like doing couples

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.960
<v Speaker 1>costumes and this year we're doing I am Jessica Rabbit

0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 1>and she is Roger Rabbit and I dressed up was

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.200
<v Speaker 1>that for all party last weekend and um, I got

0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:39.200
<v Speaker 1>to wear makeup for the first time ever and that

0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.400
<v Speaker 1>was really fun and it really helped me understand the

0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.360
<v Speaker 1>plight of the of the woman. You know. That's that's

0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of working out of you every day. God damn. Yeah.

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Well especially yeah, I mean I feel like I probably

0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.000
<v Speaker 1>got into a system, right. So do you have, um,

0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:55.720
<v Speaker 1>your wife do it for you or do you do it?

0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:58.600
<v Speaker 1>She did it for me. Um. So, like the craziest

0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:02.480
<v Speaker 1>thing was, I got pretty thick eyebrows, and so what

0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:05.400
<v Speaker 1>you have to do is you take glue, like regular

0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.159
<v Speaker 1>glue from like you know, you're using school like a

0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.159
<v Speaker 1>glue stick, and you just go over your eyebrows and

0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:12.919
<v Speaker 1>then that makes it so you can cover it with

0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.480
<v Speaker 1>like foundation and block them off. And then you draw

0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:19.639
<v Speaker 1>new eyebrows on top up because I've got this really

0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:23.240
<v Speaker 1>big cartoon e eyeshadow because Jessica Rabbit is a cartoon character.

0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:25.919
<v Speaker 1>And uh, then I have to wear the wig. You know,

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:27.520
<v Speaker 1>it's like long wig, and I have to wear this

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.600
<v Speaker 1>dress and I feel beautiful when it's all done. But

0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:33.199
<v Speaker 1>it's quite the ordeal. And it was this not on

0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:39.240
<v Speaker 1>your Instagram. Um Uh, it was for a for a second. Um.

0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.040
<v Speaker 1>We we did it for this party and then we

0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.000
<v Speaker 1>couldn't get good pictures. So we're gonna do it for

0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.480
<v Speaker 1>them for Halloween. Let's take better pictures, so we'll be

0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.919
<v Speaker 1>on my Instagram by time this airs. It's okay. So

0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:52.480
<v Speaker 1>for the listener, do you want to see Eastern dress

0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:56.480

<v Speaker 1>genders when it comes to a couple's costumes like that,

0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:08.920

0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:14.960
<v Speaker 1>A couple of years ago, my my one of my

0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:19.719
<v Speaker 1>best friends was uh Squints and his girlfriend was Polly Peppercorn,

0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:22.760

<v Speaker 1>and then she was Squint. They like they like switched

0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.280
<v Speaker 1>um for the weekend. I'm just a big fan of those.

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:31.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why. I just think there's so much

0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:34.640
<v Speaker 1>more fun they are they are because that's the best

0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:36.520
<v Speaker 1>part about Halloweens. You get to become someone that you're

0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:38.560
<v Speaker 1>that you're not, or someone you'd like to be, you know.

0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, and you want to be sexy, Jessica Rabbit,

0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to be sexy. I want to be an

0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:48.720
<v Speaker 1>object so badly. That's all. Oh my gosh, well, um,

0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait to see the photos. Mark I guess

0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.400
<v Speaker 1>we won't get to see any photos for you, Hanna,

0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:55.000
<v Speaker 1>You've been silent the whole episode so far. Do you

0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:57.000
<v Speaker 1>mind just sharing what you're gonna be for Halloween this year?

0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:02.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually not celebrating Halloween. This year's dressing because I

0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:07.040
<v Speaker 1>know I'm being really boring, but I'm at home visiting

0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:10.760
<v Speaker 1>my parents and we're just gonna go wine tasting and NAPA.

0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:13.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a fan of Halloween. I think I had

0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.960
<v Speaker 1>a bad experience when I was in elementary school, so

0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:20.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't love it. Traumatized. Yeah, I was a milk

0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:25.959
<v Speaker 1>carton and got severely bullying, so I'm not even kidding.

0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I think. I think what you need to do as

0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 1>an adult now is be a milk carton and just

0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:33.679
<v Speaker 1>like own take ownership over that, you know. Yeah, I

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:35.560
<v Speaker 1>mean I thought it was the coolest thing. I built

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:38.840
<v Speaker 1>it with my dad. I had the milk mustache, and

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:43.200
<v Speaker 1>no one liked it. That's unfortunate. I'm sorry that you

0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.119
<v Speaker 1>had to go through that, but that's kind of the

0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:46.480
<v Speaker 1>beauty of be an adult, right. You can make your

0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:48.240
<v Speaker 1>own decisions, and you don't have to celebrate Halloween if

0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:51.000
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to. Honestly going out and drinking wine.

0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.600
<v Speaker 1>It will probably be more fun anyways. Um, all right,

0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:56.280
<v Speaker 1>well you guys, you know, I don't know if this

0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:57.880
<v Speaker 1>is allowed, but I would love for you to stick

0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.720
<v Speaker 1>with me through our guest interview which we have coming up.

0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:05.520
<v Speaker 1>We have the lovely oh two people. Actually, Cuppy and

0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:07.760

0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:47.159
<v Speaker 1>actually am very hungover as well. It's weird how just

0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:49.760
<v Speaker 1>being hungover it just in itself just makes you feel

0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:52.479
<v Speaker 1>like just like a shell of a person. You know.

0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, but really, I really that's just my life nowadays.

0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I feel like just like one perpetual hangover. You guys

0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:02.639
<v Speaker 1>can tell me a little bit more about Tampa Bay's

0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:07.320
<v Speaker 1>so basically it's just about a group of our friends. Uh,

0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:11.480
<v Speaker 1>we're all lesbians. It's just kind of portraying our lives,

0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:17.520
<v Speaker 1>our journeys, our stories. Um in Tampa. Yeah, we're always

0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:19.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, trying to have a good time. There's of

0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:24.720
<v Speaker 1>course some drama, a little drama, a little bit of drama.

0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:27.600
<v Speaker 1>So can you guys tell me, like how how did

0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:30.280
<v Speaker 1>this show even? Like not like how did you guys

0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:32.520
<v Speaker 1>come into the show? You know, did someone approach you

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:35.040
<v Speaker 1>about it and they're like, hey, we have this idea. Um,

0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:37.280
<v Speaker 1>two of our friends actually reached out to a few

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:40.920
<v Speaker 1>producers out in l A. And I kept getting nose

0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:43.879
<v Speaker 1>nose nose, and then finally someone was like, um, this

0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:47.360
<v Speaker 1>sounds awesome and that kind of started everything for us.

0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:52.399
<v Speaker 1>Like that was back in nineteen Yeah, okay, all of

0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the all of the Bays knew each other before filming,

0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Is that right? Yeah, it's like our like kind of

0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:03.000
<v Speaker 1>like our party friend group. That's I gotta say. It's

0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:06.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool. How Uh you guys just are like our

0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:08.920
<v Speaker 1>lives are cool enough that we should have a film

0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:10.760
<v Speaker 1>crew come and film it. And they were like, yeah,

0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:13.719
<v Speaker 1>we agree, We're we'll be right out. I feel like

0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:15.640
<v Speaker 1>that's like a thing people say like oh my god,

0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:17.720
<v Speaker 1>like we need to have somebody follow us around and

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:23.639
<v Speaker 1>like that should actually happen for can you can you

0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:29.280
<v Speaker 1>tell me what we would expect from watching the show? Um, chaos,

0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:32.520
<v Speaker 1>that's like a lot of there's like a lot of

0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:35.400
<v Speaker 1>group events where we're out like drinking together, and then

0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I feel like once alcohol starts flowing, real starts coming out.

0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:41.199
<v Speaker 1>And you also like see us with our families and

0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:42.920
<v Speaker 1>like that too, So it's kind of like a good

0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:45.280
<v Speaker 1>mixture of everything. I feel like people think it's gonna

0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:47.560
<v Speaker 1>be this huge party show, which like there's a lot

0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:49.040
<v Speaker 1>of that, but there's a lot of real stuff like

0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:53.720
<v Speaker 1>relatable to absolutely there's all a self discovery that's for sure,

0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay throughout the show. So how did your family and

0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:03.280
<v Speaker 1>friends react to the show? Um, Well, like mine were

0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:06.160
<v Speaker 1>like shook and like I still don't think that they

0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:08.480
<v Speaker 1>think it's real. Like my mom's definitely on the show.

0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:11.359
<v Speaker 1>She's on the trailer and she saw it and she

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:13.800
<v Speaker 1>was like shocked. She was like she I cannot believe

0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:16.040
<v Speaker 1>this is happening. And I was like, Mom, like you

0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:19.439
<v Speaker 1>literally agreed, like you signed papers, like you let camera

0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:21.960
<v Speaker 1>crew into your home, like you knew this was gonna happen.

0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:25.679
<v Speaker 1>She just like she's just like shocked that, like, you know,

0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:28.399
<v Speaker 1>my life kind of a little bit of her life

0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:32.600
<v Speaker 1>is going to be portrayed on television and um, especially

0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:35.800
<v Speaker 1>like as a gay woman, you know, because my family

0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:38.800
<v Speaker 1>is from Iran and over there, it's kind of you know,

0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:42.240
<v Speaker 1>not accepted, you know, So it's just it's a lot

0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:45.080
<v Speaker 1>for them on that on that end. Mhm, yeah, I

0:23:45.080 --> 0:23:48.040
<v Speaker 1>can't only imagine what about you, Coppy. I feel my

0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:50.159
<v Speaker 1>family was like super excited about it. I think the

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:52.360
<v Speaker 1>funniest part about all of it is like a lot

0:23:52.359 --> 0:23:54.160
<v Speaker 1>of my friends, like people I know at like work

0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:56.080
<v Speaker 1>or like, oh, like you're gonna have to let me

0:23:56.119 --> 0:23:58.520
<v Speaker 1>know when it comes out, Like bitch, there's billboards, like

0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:00.879
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna know when it comes out. It's not like

0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:06.000
<v Speaker 1>some like little show that like we like filmed on YouTube.

0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:09.320
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be on Amazon Prime Video, right, Like that's

0:24:09.320 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 1>definitely one of the bigger streaming platforms obviously, right. I

0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:15.080
<v Speaker 1>think that people are just like underestimating it, and I

0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:17.840
<v Speaker 1>think that's like kind of funny for me because like

0:24:18.080 --> 0:24:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I feel, I mean, obviously I'm honest. So I think

0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:21.840
<v Speaker 1>it's like huge, but I feel like people have been

0:24:21.880 --> 0:24:24.440
<v Speaker 1>like downplaying it, So I'm excited for everybody to see it.

0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Have you guys seen any of the episodes yet? Because

0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:31.960
<v Speaker 1>it hasn't premiered yet. I lost that privilege. Did we

0:24:32.000 --> 0:24:34.359
<v Speaker 1>even have that privilege? We didn't have that privilege. I

0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:37.360
<v Speaker 1>don't think we ever did. Um, we don't didn't see

0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:40.880
<v Speaker 1>anything beforehand, so we have no idea how we're about

0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:42.800
<v Speaker 1>to be for try to say, how does that make

0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:45.920
<v Speaker 1>you guys feel stress you out at all? Yeah, I'm

0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:53.119
<v Speaker 1>like I didn't. I was just being myself, so like whatever,

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:57.040
<v Speaker 1>I was seeing myself too. But like so I'm like

0:24:57.119 --> 0:24:58.919
<v Speaker 1>really in the fitness, but I had like put on

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:06.639
<v Speaker 1>weight before the show, so I'm like, super, Okay, that's

0:25:06.680 --> 0:25:09.639
<v Speaker 1>really it. That's really, that's really it. I mean I

0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:11.880
<v Speaker 1>have like no filter in general, so I'm not worried

0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:14.960
<v Speaker 1>about what I said, but like there was times where

0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like having conversations and I was like, oh

0:25:17.040 --> 0:25:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I have micon still yeah and there and those are

0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:24.119
<v Speaker 1>the juiciest ones too that they're definitely gonna oh yeah.

0:25:23.840 --> 0:25:26.440
<v Speaker 1>My biggest thing with that stuff was like, especially when

0:25:26.440 --> 0:25:29.080
<v Speaker 1>we're party. When your partying, I'm always just afraid of

0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:31.760
<v Speaker 1>like me being really like blackout drunk or something. And

0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:33.800
<v Speaker 1>then I'm like stressed out because I'm like, what did

0:25:33.840 --> 0:25:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I say that I don't remember saying or like doing,

0:25:36.119 --> 0:25:38.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, and if you are parting a lot, I'm

0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:40.560
<v Speaker 1>sure there's gonna be a lot of that. I blacked

0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:45.879
<v Speaker 1>up twice on camera, So that's good. And you stressed

0:25:45.880 --> 0:25:47.480
<v Speaker 1>at all about watching that back at all? Or two?

0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:49.399
<v Speaker 1>It is what it is? What can you do? I

0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:52.800
<v Speaker 1>though they can't do anything about it. There's nothing you

0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:54.680
<v Speaker 1>can do at this point. You're kind of like, well,

0:25:57.480 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 1>so on the show throughout the entire season, we're gonna

0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:01.280
<v Speaker 1>see you guys like go on dates and stuff like

0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:02.840
<v Speaker 1>that too. Is Is that is there gonna be like

0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:06.800
<v Speaker 1>a dating focus at all? I might have a little

0:26:07.680 --> 0:26:09.760
<v Speaker 1>a little fling going a little bit. I don't know.

0:26:09.800 --> 0:26:15.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to like spoil anything, but yeah, you know,

0:26:15.440 --> 0:26:18.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I think I didn't. I think it wasn't

0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:20.480
<v Speaker 1>really a date. You kind of see like a course

0:26:20.520 --> 0:26:24.119
<v Speaker 1>of a little relationship, you know, unfold for me and

0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:30.320
<v Speaker 1>then maybe fold again, um old and unfold. You might

0:26:30.359 --> 0:26:36.200
<v Speaker 1>see um copy trying to like put some moves on me. Um, yeah,

0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:40.960
<v Speaker 1>I was just kidding and try to knock me out.

0:26:41.400 --> 0:26:43.119
<v Speaker 1>Is there any dating among the friend group at all,

0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:47.280
<v Speaker 1>like between any other friends? Um, there are three couples

0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:51.880
<v Speaker 1>on the show that were like already couples, So there's

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:53.720
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of that's a lot of people because

0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:56.880
<v Speaker 1>there's YouTube, then those six and then and then let's

0:26:56.880 --> 0:27:01.040
<v Speaker 1>not forget copies. Um also dated one of one of

0:27:01.080 --> 0:27:06.400
<v Speaker 1>the beys too, but they're just friends. Yeah. So one

0:27:06.400 --> 0:27:08.159
<v Speaker 1>of my actions is on the show and I'm like

0:27:08.240 --> 0:27:14.040
<v Speaker 1>best friends with her girlfriend. Okay, that's how you work. No,

0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:16.240
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's like not even a thing. Everyone's I

0:27:16.240 --> 0:27:17.960
<v Speaker 1>guess I'm weirre. It's like not even like a thing

0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:20.320
<v Speaker 1>at all. I think it would be good. It'll be

0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:23.840
<v Speaker 1>good because you don't really see many like dating shows,

0:27:23.920 --> 0:27:26.240
<v Speaker 1>especially that just focus on like lesbian couples, right or

0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:28.520
<v Speaker 1>like LGBTQ couples. So to be good to kind of

0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:31.800
<v Speaker 1>get uh more perspective on it, right, Like, are you

0:27:31.840 --> 0:27:33.480
<v Speaker 1>guys excited to share that part with the rest of

0:27:33.520 --> 0:27:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the world at all? Um? Yes? And then so yeah, yes,

0:27:42.240 --> 0:27:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean the lesbian dating scene is just like something else.

0:27:45.320 --> 0:27:47.800
<v Speaker 1>So like how copy was just explaining that you know

0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:49.680
<v Speaker 1>her exes on the show and then she's like best

0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:52.480
<v Speaker 1>friends with the ex girls. Like that is so normal,

0:27:52.600 --> 0:27:57.040
<v Speaker 1>like lesbians just like like you know, your ex girlfriend

0:27:57.080 --> 0:27:59.720
<v Speaker 1>becomes your best friend and then like your best friend

0:27:59.840 --> 0:28:02.320
<v Speaker 1>is like hooking up with your acts and it's it's

0:28:02.359 --> 0:28:05.320
<v Speaker 1>just fine, Like it's it's just how small the community is,

0:28:05.359 --> 0:28:08.640
<v Speaker 1>and like, especially in Tampa, like everyone knows everyone, Like

0:28:09.000 --> 0:28:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I want to say, like everyone's pretty much dated everyone

0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:14.720
<v Speaker 1>or hooked up with everyone to like it. I mean

0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:17.480
<v Speaker 1>people who are not used to like seeing that, or

0:28:17.560 --> 0:28:21.040
<v Speaker 1>like you know, don't know about the lgbt Q like

0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:23.879
<v Speaker 1>community and the relationships in that, Like they're going to

0:28:23.960 --> 0:28:27.159
<v Speaker 1>be a little surprise for sure, Like it's something different.

0:28:27.160 --> 0:28:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think like straight people necessarily deal with those.

0:28:31.960 --> 0:28:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean they do, but like not as often with

0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:37.159
<v Speaker 1>those kinds of things. Well, I mean, relationships are hard

0:28:37.240 --> 0:28:38.920
<v Speaker 1>enough as it is. And then yeah, I feel like

0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:41.600
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of other pressures and scrutiny that you're

0:28:41.600 --> 0:28:45.040
<v Speaker 1>faced with just for for for being a lesbian. I'm

0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:47.760
<v Speaker 1>sure I can't even imagine, but um, I guess on

0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the same on the same topic, what kind of advice

0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:53.520
<v Speaker 1>would you have for uh, maybe like other lesbian or

0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:56.520
<v Speaker 1>gay people out there that are you know, just trying

0:28:56.560 --> 0:28:57.840
<v Speaker 1>to like figure it all out. You guys have any

0:28:57.840 --> 0:28:59.600
<v Speaker 1>advice you guys deal with that on the show as well,

0:28:59.720 --> 0:29:03.200
<v Speaker 1>or like what kind of tips and advice do you

0:29:03.240 --> 0:29:06.400
<v Speaker 1>have for them? My biggest thing is, don't try to

0:29:06.520 --> 0:29:08.240
<v Speaker 1>like just because you see like one of these like

0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:10.440
<v Speaker 1>cool tick Talker is doing like a thing or like

0:29:10.480 --> 0:29:11.960
<v Speaker 1>a look like doesn't mean you, like you don't have

0:29:11.960 --> 0:29:13.840
<v Speaker 1>to look like everybody else. I feel like a lot

0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:16.640
<v Speaker 1>of lesbians trying to sway to look a certain way

0:29:16.720 --> 0:29:19.040
<v Speaker 1>to like get a girlfriend or to like be accepted,

0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:20.840
<v Speaker 1>or like I'm seeing like these girls chop their hair

0:29:20.920 --> 0:29:23.640
<v Speaker 1>off because they're like, oh, like the the memre masculine

0:29:23.720 --> 0:29:25.600
<v Speaker 1>lesbians are getting more attendance, So I'm gonna do this,

0:29:25.640 --> 0:29:28.840
<v Speaker 1>like just do you and you'll be fine. It just

0:29:29.000 --> 0:29:30.720
<v Speaker 1>it sucks to see people like having to like fit

0:29:30.760 --> 0:29:32.520
<v Speaker 1>a mold, and I think that was part of our

0:29:33.200 --> 0:29:35.360
<v Speaker 1>coming into the show. My biggest thing is like we

0:29:35.400 --> 0:29:37.480
<v Speaker 1>like we don't really fit a mold for like the

0:29:37.520 --> 0:29:39.360
<v Speaker 1>way we all look for like a lesbians and if

0:29:39.400 --> 0:29:42.360
<v Speaker 1>you watch like a lesbian like movie or show. It's all.

0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:44.960
<v Speaker 1>It's usually not like a fem looking lesbian that you see.

0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:47.280
<v Speaker 1>It's usually a more masculine lesbian you see, unless they're

0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:50.480
<v Speaker 1>watching porn. And it's like you can like literally look

0:29:50.520 --> 0:29:53.120
<v Speaker 1>however you want to look and like be yourself and

0:29:53.120 --> 0:29:55.400
<v Speaker 1>be gay and be fine and it's cool. And I

0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:57.400
<v Speaker 1>feel like a lot of people don't feel like that's acceptable.

0:29:57.960 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 1>So that's like my biggest thing. Yeah, I think it's

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:05.400
<v Speaker 1>great advice also to add on that, Like, um, I

0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:07.440
<v Speaker 1>feel like when people watch Tampa Base, you're kind of

0:30:07.520 --> 0:30:10.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of going to see like you know, of course

0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:12.440
<v Speaker 1>there's like drama between all of us and like, you know,

0:30:12.520 --> 0:30:14.960
<v Speaker 1>we were closer maybe when the show started and after

0:30:15.000 --> 0:30:18.080
<v Speaker 1>it ended and things like that. But like Tampa and

0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:21.000
<v Speaker 1>like the scene, the gay scene here, like it's really accepting.

0:30:21.520 --> 0:30:23.800
<v Speaker 1>And I think that like anyone who's like trying to

0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:27.360
<v Speaker 1>like you know, figure out themselves and being in the

0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:29.720
<v Speaker 1>gay scene, they really need to like put themselves if

0:30:29.760 --> 0:30:33.080
<v Speaker 1>they can, in an environment where there are other gay

0:30:33.120 --> 0:30:36.120
<v Speaker 1>people and they're accepting of it. Like I mean, like

0:30:36.120 --> 0:30:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Tampa is just such a like good community to like

0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:41.920
<v Speaker 1>be yourself, be diverse, like it's totally accepted, and like

0:30:42.280 --> 0:30:44.600
<v Speaker 1>I hope people see that too as the show airs.

0:30:44.640 --> 0:30:47.240
<v Speaker 1>But um, yeah, I would just say for people out

0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:51.320
<v Speaker 1>there like trying to, you know, navigate through the gay scene,

0:30:51.480 --> 0:30:55.800
<v Speaker 1>like surround yourself with people who are accepting and that

0:30:56.280 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 1>obviously are also good people. But yeah, I think that's

0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:01.560
<v Speaker 1>like the the biggest thing I would say. Yeah, I

0:31:01.600 --> 0:31:04.040
<v Speaker 1>think it's great advice. I think that's definitely a good

0:31:04.040 --> 0:31:06.760
<v Speaker 1>place to start, especially if they're confused or scared or

0:31:06.760 --> 0:31:09.040
<v Speaker 1>anything that. Um, are you guys gonna be watching the

0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:10.800
<v Speaker 1>show back when it premieres or is it gonna be

0:31:10.840 --> 0:31:12.200
<v Speaker 1>one of those things where you just like decide you

0:31:12.240 --> 0:31:15.600
<v Speaker 1>don't want to see yourself on tv? Um, I'm definitely

0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:18.920
<v Speaker 1>watching that. Absolutely, I'm definitely watching that. Like I don't

0:31:18.920 --> 0:31:21.960
<v Speaker 1>even watch reality TV. I'm gonna can you watch this show?

0:31:23.800 --> 0:31:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Are you gonna have like a watch party or anything?

0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:30.640
<v Speaker 1>There is? There is kind of one like some of

0:31:30.680 --> 0:31:34.640
<v Speaker 1>the Bays want to throw on um like host one whatever.

0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:36.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, and I might do it, but like

0:31:36.720 --> 0:31:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I might not. I don't know. I think I kind

0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:40.160
<v Speaker 1>of want to watch it on my own and the

0:31:40.160 --> 0:31:42.040
<v Speaker 1>privacy in my own home, Like no one around me,

0:31:42.080 --> 0:31:44.520
<v Speaker 1>so if like something embarrassing happens, I can just be like,

0:31:44.560 --> 0:31:51.080
<v Speaker 1>it's fine, literally be embarrassed alone. You're like talking about

0:31:51.120 --> 0:31:52.840
<v Speaker 1>someone in an interview and they're like in the same

0:31:52.920 --> 0:31:54.360
<v Speaker 1>room with you watching, and you're like, oh, this is

0:31:54.560 --> 0:31:59.240
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, I evedn't think about that. That's that's

0:31:59.240 --> 0:32:02.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna be the worst. Are sure we learned the term?

0:32:03.040 --> 0:32:06.320
<v Speaker 1>I know, Dan, you probably let the Franken bite thing like,

0:32:07.200 --> 0:32:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm terrified. Yeah, I literally have no no filter, and

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:13.840
<v Speaker 1>so I'm so terrified that I've been a victim of

0:32:13.880 --> 0:32:16.240
<v Speaker 1>the franken bite many times. I think it's unavoidable. I

0:32:16.240 --> 0:32:18.000
<v Speaker 1>think reality TV is just one of those things where

0:32:18.000 --> 0:32:21.480
<v Speaker 1>you have to accept the franken biting. And it's actually

0:32:21.520 --> 0:32:23.479
<v Speaker 1>kind of guys, Can I get a definition because I

0:32:23.600 --> 0:32:26.760
<v Speaker 1>actually don't know where it's where they use like different

0:32:26.800 --> 0:32:29.120
<v Speaker 1>audio clips of you saying like it's like four different things,

0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:30.760
<v Speaker 1>but they clip it together to make you sound like

0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:33.520
<v Speaker 1>you're saying something like that. Yeah, they're totally gonna leaf

0:32:33.600 --> 0:32:36.960
<v Speaker 1>with that for sure. Like this, I would say, even

0:32:37.000 --> 0:32:39.240
<v Speaker 1>when the mics were still on and the cameras were off,

0:32:39.480 --> 0:32:42.320
<v Speaker 1>like I'm terrified, I'd like Oh, the cameras are off

0:32:42.400 --> 0:32:45.040
<v Speaker 1>hading like oh this bitch, and I'd like pop off

0:32:45.120 --> 0:32:50.120
<v Speaker 1>and I'd like, oh, the MIC's on. Yeah, you might

0:32:50.160 --> 0:32:51.600
<v Speaker 1>get in some troble with that. But the nice thing

0:32:51.720 --> 0:32:53.600
<v Speaker 1>is if you do say something mean or bad, you

0:32:53.640 --> 0:32:55.240
<v Speaker 1>can always just blame it on the frank and frank

0:32:55.280 --> 0:32:59.080
<v Speaker 1>in biting and you'd like the whole show on that.

0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:02.400
<v Speaker 1>My mouth is gonna line up to what I'm saying,

0:33:02.440 --> 0:33:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna blame with I being the edited, the

0:33:06.120 --> 0:33:09.600
<v Speaker 1>c g I or something. I don't know exactly what. Um. Well,

<v Speaker 1>to use you. Man. Do you mind reading this email

0:34:28.719 --> 0:34:31.000
<v Speaker 1>from Jesse for us? All right, Dan, thank you very much.

0:34:31.120 --> 0:34:33.920
<v Speaker 1>This is from Jesse. She says, long story short. I

0:34:34.120 --> 0:34:37.480
<v Speaker 1>drink in excess a little more than I should, especially

0:34:37.520 --> 0:34:40.680
<v Speaker 1>in a social situation, to ease my anxiety. My husband,

0:34:40.800 --> 0:34:43.040
<v Speaker 1>before our wedding told my bride's Amaze to try to

0:34:43.120 --> 0:34:45.440
<v Speaker 1>keep my drinking to a minimum the day of our wedding,

0:34:45.560 --> 0:34:49.239
<v Speaker 1>but me being me, I kept drinking champagne to try

0:34:49.280 --> 0:34:51.800
<v Speaker 1>to feel less stressed about walking down the aisle. I

0:34:51.880 --> 0:34:54.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to get drunk like I did, but I

0:34:54.040 --> 0:34:56.480
<v Speaker 1>will admit there were some times I don't remember a

0:34:56.560 --> 0:34:59.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of things the next day after my wedding. Overall,

0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I think I was just a drunk pride trying to

0:35:01.640 --> 0:35:03.560
<v Speaker 1>enjoy her day the best way I knew how liquid

0:35:03.640 --> 0:35:05.560
<v Speaker 1>courage a lot of dancing. But now my husband and

0:35:05.600 --> 0:35:08.239
<v Speaker 1>my family they were not happy with my choices. My

0:35:08.360 --> 0:35:11.279
<v Speaker 1>mom told me I embarrassed myself and the family and

0:35:11.400 --> 0:35:14.279
<v Speaker 1>didn't talk to me for nearly a month after. Since then,

0:35:14.760 --> 0:35:17.040
<v Speaker 1>it's been hard for me to remember this day is amazing,

0:35:17.120 --> 0:35:18.719
<v Speaker 1>even though I had a great time when those who

0:35:18.760 --> 0:35:21.480
<v Speaker 1>attended said it was great. I guess I just need

0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:24.320
<v Speaker 1>some reassurance or advice on how I can remember this

0:35:24.440 --> 0:35:28.080
<v Speaker 1>special day without the negativity coming into play, or am

0:35:28.120 --> 0:35:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I completely in the wrong and I owe everyone a

0:35:30.120 --> 0:35:33.920
<v Speaker 1>sincere apology. Well, um, I'm gonna I'm mostly gonna take

0:35:33.920 --> 0:35:35.520
<v Speaker 1>a back seat on this one because I've never had

0:35:35.560 --> 0:35:37.040
<v Speaker 1>a wedding and you guys have, so you can speak

0:35:37.040 --> 0:35:38.680
<v Speaker 1>from experience. But I do want to just point out

0:35:38.719 --> 0:35:41.160
<v Speaker 1>one thing. Uh, it sounds like Jesse, you had a

0:35:41.280 --> 0:35:43.200
<v Speaker 1>great time and your friends had a great time, and

0:35:43.440 --> 0:35:46.239
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the most important thing. So Dean, if

0:35:46.239 --> 0:35:48.280
<v Speaker 1>you've gotten drunk to the point of excess and possibly

0:35:48.360 --> 0:35:52.160
<v Speaker 1>embarrassing yourself every time I drink alcohol, yes, of course,

0:35:52.440 --> 0:35:56.239
<v Speaker 1>but I understand the gravity of a of a thing

0:35:56.320 --> 0:35:58.160
<v Speaker 1>like a wedding, right, So I mean, what was your

0:35:58.160 --> 0:36:00.400
<v Speaker 1>guys experience with their like, what kind of what's your

0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:03.200
<v Speaker 1>take I guess, well, I mean, look, I've never been

0:36:03.280 --> 0:36:05.040
<v Speaker 1>drunk to that point. I've never been drunk period, but

0:36:05.120 --> 0:36:07.439
<v Speaker 1>I did have a wedding. So here's here's my take

0:36:07.480 --> 0:36:10.960
<v Speaker 1>out it this is the world we live in. Is

0:36:11.200 --> 0:36:15.960
<v Speaker 1>sugarcoating everything that happens to us. That's Instagram, that's all.

0:36:16.239 --> 0:36:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I have hundreds of family videos on the computer downstairs.

0:36:20.440 --> 0:36:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Watching those, you would think we are the most perfect

0:36:23.239 --> 0:36:25.800
<v Speaker 1>family with the happiest children that have ever existed in

0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:28.160
<v Speaker 1>the history of the world. They have perfect lives and

0:36:28.280 --> 0:36:30.759
<v Speaker 1>they've never been sad and are upset about anything. That's

0:36:30.840 --> 0:36:35.560
<v Speaker 1>what we do. So when you have the wedding, I'm

0:36:35.560 --> 0:36:37.359
<v Speaker 1>sure you have video from the wedding and photos from

0:36:37.360 --> 0:36:39.439
<v Speaker 1>the wedding. When you put those all together, it's gonna

0:36:39.480 --> 0:36:41.520
<v Speaker 1>look like the greatest day of your life. And that

0:36:41.680 --> 0:36:44.279
<v Speaker 1>can be the reality of it. Your mom is going

0:36:44.360 --> 0:36:46.680
<v Speaker 1>to be a little bit more sensitive because she's your mom,

0:36:47.080 --> 0:36:48.920
<v Speaker 1>your husband a little bit too. But if your friend

0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:51.160
<v Speaker 1>said they had a great time, I would just focus

0:36:51.239 --> 0:36:53.760
<v Speaker 1>on that and watching that video and everything was hunky

0:36:53.840 --> 0:36:57.239
<v Speaker 1>dory that day. Is that denial maybe, But that's up

0:36:57.280 --> 0:36:59.560
<v Speaker 1>to you to determine how much denial that is. And

0:36:59.640 --> 0:37:01.239
<v Speaker 1>if it's too much, you might want to get some

0:37:01.360 --> 0:37:04.399
<v Speaker 1>help with your drinking or with the psychology behind needing

0:37:04.440 --> 0:37:08.200
<v Speaker 1>to drink in social situations. So it's twofold, maybe look

0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:10.920
<v Speaker 1>into that. But also, it was what it was. You

0:37:10.960 --> 0:37:12.960
<v Speaker 1>can't change anything about it. Now do your best to

0:37:13.000 --> 0:37:14.799
<v Speaker 1>make it look as great as possible, and that will

0:37:14.880 --> 0:37:19.120
<v Speaker 1>become your memory of it. Yeah, And you know, I

0:37:19.239 --> 0:37:21.560
<v Speaker 1>was thinking, like it sounds like the mom is the

0:37:21.640 --> 0:37:23.520
<v Speaker 1>only one that really like came to her and said

0:37:24.200 --> 0:37:26.399
<v Speaker 1>you you got way to blast it at your wedding.

0:37:26.480 --> 0:37:28.719
<v Speaker 1>But like, if if it was a real problem, like

0:37:29.080 --> 0:37:30.480
<v Speaker 1>she would have had a bunch of other it would

0:37:30.480 --> 0:37:32.960
<v Speaker 1>have been a parent like so many friends would have

0:37:33.000 --> 0:37:35.920
<v Speaker 1>been like, hey, is everything okay? You know, like stuff

0:37:35.960 --> 0:37:37.879
<v Speaker 1>like that. But like it sounds like everything was fine.

0:37:38.280 --> 0:37:41.320
<v Speaker 1>So you know, I had a great wedding. I everything

0:37:41.360 --> 0:37:44.040
<v Speaker 1>went perfectly, and uh, and my parents had stuff to

0:37:44.080 --> 0:37:46.680
<v Speaker 1>say afterwards, you know, things that they would have changed

0:37:46.840 --> 0:37:49.800
<v Speaker 1>in differently. But you know what, it's not their wedding.

0:37:49.840 --> 0:37:51.239
<v Speaker 1>It was my wedding and I had a great time.

0:37:51.440 --> 0:37:53.560
<v Speaker 1>So that's the way I look at it. I really

0:37:53.600 --> 0:37:55.400
<v Speaker 1>think that's the root of it all too. It's your wedding,

0:37:55.440 --> 0:37:57.719
<v Speaker 1>and if you had a good time, that's all that matters. Right.

0:37:57.760 --> 0:37:59.480
<v Speaker 1>It's like your it's not your mom's wedding, it's not

0:37:59.600 --> 0:38:02.200
<v Speaker 1>your uh, your family member's wedding. It's your wedding. So like,

0:38:02.239 --> 0:38:04.640
<v Speaker 1>if you have fun, that's the most important thing. And

0:38:04.800 --> 0:38:06.960
<v Speaker 1>to Mark's point too, it's like, yeah, you might not

0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:10.680
<v Speaker 1>remember everything, but you probably had a wedding photographer and

0:38:10.760 --> 0:38:12.160
<v Speaker 1>you're probably gonna be able to look back at these

0:38:12.200 --> 0:38:14.520
<v Speaker 1>photos and like relive the moments through the photos and

0:38:14.640 --> 0:38:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you're going to be smiling and laughing, having

0:38:16.680 --> 0:38:19.799
<v Speaker 1>a blast and all those So, um, just keep those

0:38:19.840 --> 0:38:22.520
<v Speaker 1>good memories. But I do agree, like, if you're drinking

0:38:22.520 --> 0:38:24.400
<v Speaker 1>a neccess a lot and it starts to become a problem,

0:38:24.600 --> 0:38:27.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe you start to consider seeing some help for that. Uh,

0:38:27.680 --> 0:38:30.520
<v Speaker 1>definitely not the worst thing in the world. I have

0:38:30.680 --> 0:38:33.719
<v Speaker 1>some family members that have struggled with alcohol abuse as well.

0:38:33.840 --> 0:38:35.960
<v Speaker 1>And uh, you know, it's never a fun thing. But

0:38:37.360 --> 0:38:39.040
<v Speaker 1>as long as it's like social and fun and you're

0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:40.560
<v Speaker 1>happy with it and you don't see an issue, that's

0:38:40.560 --> 0:38:42.880
<v Speaker 1>all that matters. Um, I will say to it's kind

0:38:42.880 --> 0:38:44.360
<v Speaker 1>of funny how it comes full circle to what we

0:38:44.400 --> 0:38:46.839
<v Speaker 1>were talking about at the beginning of the podcast mark

0:38:46.920 --> 0:38:49.880
<v Speaker 1>where it's like, like it kind of matters, Like a

0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:51.680
<v Speaker 1>wedding is a big day, there's no question about it,

0:38:51.760 --> 0:38:53.880
<v Speaker 1>but like in the Grand scheme, it doesn't really like,

0:38:53.960 --> 0:38:58.080
<v Speaker 1>no one died, no one's hurt, it doesn't really matter, right, Like, no,

0:38:58.200 --> 0:39:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to hear some stories of what act really happened.

0:39:00.640 --> 0:39:02.399
<v Speaker 1>But look, as long as she had a great time,

0:39:02.520 --> 0:39:04.480
<v Speaker 1>that's all that matters. Because really it's the bride's day.

0:39:05.040 --> 0:39:06.880
<v Speaker 1>And yes, your groom should have a good time as well.

0:39:06.920 --> 0:39:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I get that, and I don't mean to be sexist

0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:10.759
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, but really it's about the bride. That's the

0:39:10.840 --> 0:39:12.600
<v Speaker 1>day she has dreamed up since she was a little girl.

0:39:12.680 --> 0:39:15.520
<v Speaker 1>If you had a good time, that's great, Just move on.

0:39:15.760 --> 0:39:19.640
<v Speaker 1>It's okay. Plus, if you really want a second wedding,

0:39:19.719 --> 0:39:21.320
<v Speaker 1>just get divorced and go marry someone else and do

0:39:21.360 --> 0:39:24.759
<v Speaker 1>it right the second time. I mean, why not? You know?

0:39:24.840 --> 0:39:27.640
<v Speaker 1>That's that's uh, that's the tradition that we've built for

0:39:27.680 --> 0:39:29.520
<v Speaker 1>ourselves here in America. All Right, well it's gonna do

0:39:32.360 --> 0:39:35.560
<v Speaker 1>that that marriage? Wait? What's name of the podcast? Um?

0:39:35.840 --> 0:39:37.839
<v Speaker 1>I am joking about that. Don't get divorced. Please, don't

0:39:37.840 --> 0:39:40.480
<v Speaker 1>get divorced. Divorce is horrible, It's not good. I don't
