<v Speaker 1>at how Men Think podcast on Instagram. And we're gonna

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.679
<v Speaker 1>get into our first question. This is called That's what

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.519
<v Speaker 1>he said. These are our answers to questions from listeners,

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:55.519
<v Speaker 1>male and female. The first question is from Katie. She says,

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:59.079
<v Speaker 1>do men feel the same press pressure as women to

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 1>marry and have children? Especially as we get older? Who's

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>aged in here looking at you, buddy? Do men feel

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>the same pressure women? Think? Uh? Do men feel the

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.519
<v Speaker 1>same pressure? I think that men feel feel pressure, but

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>they don't feel the same level of of it being

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 1>the timeline that women feel. And it's simply due to

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>the way we're built physically, you know, we're just Uh.

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:28.359
<v Speaker 1>I think men's timeline just in general is longer than

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>women for giving, you know, for making a family, starting

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.360
<v Speaker 1>a family. So what age would you say that you

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 1>just science? I get you pregnant, right, now I've been snipped.

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>So here's a question, in your mind, what what age

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 1>do you think a woman starts to feel pressure to

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>marry and have a family in what age do you

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>think a man generally does Just generally speaking, generally speaking,

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I think I think when I think, oh, from all

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 1>my conversations with buddies of mind they being, etcetera, it

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 1>sounds like late twenties is when women start really feeling it, um,

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>talking about it, really getting serious about it. And I

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 1>think that just that can go much, much, much longer

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>for men in general. There's some guys who say, oh,

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.039
<v Speaker 1>I want to be a young dad, right, but what's

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>considered a young dad now has gotten sort of old,

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, compared to what the old standards were. Um,

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>so what's considered a young dad now? In your mind? Five?

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Probably that's still considered a young dad, you know, which

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>classically speaking, is about fifteen years older than it was

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.839
<v Speaker 1>a generation and a half ago. And that's that's the

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 1>age I was when I had my first Great what

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 1>were you? I was thirty two two and Ryan thirty

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.839
<v Speaker 1>five when you had your first So I just turned

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>thirty six, uh, and I I could still go easily

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>another three or four years, probably without kids. I still

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 1>feel like I'm fifteen, right, so, but I think I

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 1>would agree with you. I think for so for Katie's question,

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>do men feel the same pressure, I think we do

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>feel pressure. As I got to know dat about it,

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I got to be thirty, I was looking for more

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>fulfillment and purpose and happiness in my life. Uh so

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I was looking for the life partner. I wasn't looking

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 1>to have kids so much. And still I want to

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>have kids. I want to have a family. I look

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.600
<v Speaker 1>up to you gentlemen for her families. But I don't

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 1>feel the pressure right now to do it. So I

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 1>would agree with you that I think men can get

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.479
<v Speaker 1>to almost forty before they really feel The comment that

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Gavin made about being an old dad, I think it

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.719
<v Speaker 1>is an important one. So for you, do you you

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 1>know you played hockey your whole life. You probably want

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.160
<v Speaker 1>to be able to play hockey with your kid. Does

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>that ever factor into your mind where you say, if

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>I wait ten years, am I going to be able

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 1>to actually get out on the ice and skate with

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>him in his formative playing years in high school? Or

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>or not thinking that far? That doesn't honestly that doesn't

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:56.599
<v Speaker 1>weigh on me at all because I believe I'm going

0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:58.600
<v Speaker 1>to be so active in my life that even when

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm eighty, I'll still be active. So I don't worry

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 1>about having kids now because my level of activity or

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 1>physicality is going to diminish. I don't worry about that

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 1>at all. I'm more just want to do it when

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:14.039
<v Speaker 1>I feel comfortable with my life. And my wife and

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 1>I are starting to start talking about kids, like we're

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>not talking about do we want to have kids right now,

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 1>but we're like, Okay, when when would we want to

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>have kids? Like we should maybe open that conversation. But

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 1>being able to be I still think I'm going to

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:31.719
<v Speaker 1>be extremely active later, very late in my life. It's

0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 1>just how I'm wired. And would you mind playing would

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 1>you mind playing hockey with my kids? Because I don't

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 1>feel like I can't really do it, so I think

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.719
<v Speaker 1>you can man a couple lessons. I know a guy

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>can get you a lessons. I'll tell you this though.

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>When I was younger, for some reason, I always had

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 1>in my head I always knew that I wanted to

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 1>have kids, and I always knew that I want to

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>get married, and I didn't necessarily think I didn't want

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.279
<v Speaker 1>to do it like in my early twenties or anything

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>like that. But I guess in the back of my mind,

0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:00.159
<v Speaker 1>I was always looking. I was always thinking, like, I know,

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 1>there's going to be someone and when that time comes,

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:03.840
<v Speaker 1>that's where it will be. And then I kind of

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 1>forgot about it for a little while and I was

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.360
<v Speaker 1>It's not like I was obsessed with it, but in

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 1>my mind I knew that that's what I wanted. So

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 1>when I actually when I met my wife, um, I

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of I kind of knew right away. We didn't

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 1>it was a weird time at the you know, when

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>we met, so we didn't start dating right away, but

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I kind of knew that that was that was it,

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 1>and from then on and the rest just felt natural.

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>And then we were married for a few years. We

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 1>dated for a few years, were married for a few years. Then,

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 1>like you were saying, Brookes, it just seemed like the

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>right time too to then have kids. Oh here's a question, though,

0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 1>you asked me, pressure desire, right, Yes, so I don't

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 1>want to I don't want to get those two conflicted.

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:44.680
<v Speaker 1>And the desires always always existed for you, yeah, of course,

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 1>but but pressure is a different thing. Okay, So I

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 1>could I ask you, like to be open and genuine

0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:56.400
<v Speaker 1>author like, do you right now you're forty correct forty two? Uh?

0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel pressure to start having a family now?

0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Starting to feel that? Yeah? But just because you know

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 1>you you start thinking, oh, well, what would a full

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.480
<v Speaker 1>life be like? Etcetera, et etcetera. And I and my

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>father always talks about, oh, when I had kids, it

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 1>was the greatest time in my life. And this and

0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 1>that a lot of people talk about talk about that.

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.720
<v Speaker 1>A lot of a lot of men talk about that

0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>it was the greatest time in my life. You know. Um,

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 1>so I feel I feel some of that. I feel

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of that pressure just because i'm you know,

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm deep into my adulthood now, you know, I'm not one,

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, Katie, that was awesome. Appreciate that question. Onto

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Katie has one more so, Katie, that's we're gonna skip one.

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.679
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna go to this one. Katie really wants to know,

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 1>and she typed it in here. The most important question

0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Dick Picks discussed confess have you sent them? Why? Gavin,

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:56.559
<v Speaker 1>do you send them? Women are really baffled. Please clear

0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.080
<v Speaker 1>this up. Dick picks. Raise your hand if you have

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.959
<v Speaker 1>sent one. I have never sent one, never sent one.

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I have never sent one, not recently. I only send

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:12.240
<v Speaker 1>them to myself. I only send them to myself, just

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 1>selfies and selfie modes to me, like, yeah, totally. It

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 1>just makes my hands look bigger man. So okay, So

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the consensus is, uh, this group. I mean, I have

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 1>to interject here. I have to two parts of this.

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel like dick picks are sort of the new

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 1>up and coming thing for you know, having a relationship

0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.040
<v Speaker 1>in the new age of being online and being on

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Snapchat or Facebook or whatever. That's just kind of the

0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 1>new way of what kids who are either you know,

0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.200
<v Speaker 1>about to have sex. That's kind of their way of communicating.

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I hate to say it, but that's how I feel

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.720
<v Speaker 1>that they're communicating back and forth. So like they're sending

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>a dick pick and she's sending something back or vice versa. Right,

0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Which the second part of what I want to say

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 1>was I don't think that really right, you know, like

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:05.520
<v Speaker 1>me being a responsible father and having a thirteen year old, like,

0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the last thing I want is for him to be

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.960
<v Speaker 1>sending dick picks a because it's practically illegal, like if

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 1>you get a dick pick from or a pick from

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>of one of your friends friends and he forwards that on, like,

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 1>you can't not do that criminal charges, right, So, um,

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I think Katie, it's an excellent question, and I think

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:25.920
<v Speaker 1>where you're going with it is just kind of the

0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 1>generalized thing of like who sends dick picks, and that's

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of the fun side of it. But I think

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.440
<v Speaker 1>the serious side of it also is, you know, what

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:38.640
<v Speaker 1>at what point is this accepted in society and what

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:42.960
<v Speaker 1>point can what age is appropriate? I guess really, you know.

0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 1>I also want to thank Katie for keeping it classy

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 1>dressing up the show. Let me ask you, guys to

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 1>have any of your significant others, and it can be

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 1>a wife or a girlfriend asked you to send one

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.560
<v Speaker 1>that you've just chosen not to, or you've never been

0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.840
<v Speaker 1>approached asking. Sadly, no one has ever asked me for

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>a dick pick, Dmitri. I just asked you this yesterday.

0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I did not. I read that the wrong one wrong.

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.440
<v Speaker 1>I have never been asked by my wife and I've

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 1>never asked my wife to send me those either. Um.

0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I think both of us sort of have a fear

0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:21.760
<v Speaker 1>that somehow our phones could get hacked or so would

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 1>be that would be an issue, that would really be

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.120
<v Speaker 1>an issue. Well, that's where I feel like it's this

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:30.720
<v Speaker 1>is a newer generational way of communicating and and having,

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, exposing yourself, right, you know so, and it's

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.319
<v Speaker 1>not good in my mind, you know, I feel like

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>past go ahead, Yeah, I have I have a buddy,

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 1>one of my best friends in the world. I got

0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:45.920
<v Speaker 1>out of practice one day and it was like ten

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 1>thirty am and I got out of practice. Check my

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.240
<v Speaker 1>phone and one of my best friends in the world

0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.400
<v Speaker 1>sent me a text and this is all it said.

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 1>I sent five dick picks before nine am today. That

0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.640
<v Speaker 1>was all it said. So, like, it half opens a lot.

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Why don't we let Tori she's twenty four. So this

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.319
<v Speaker 1>is our producer, Tori. She's twenty four, and she's gonna

0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:12.200
<v Speaker 1>give you guys like the twenty four year old input. Well,

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I think dick picks became a thing once. Um, snapchat

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.959
<v Speaker 1>became a thing because then it was like, oh, it

0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 1>goes away in like two seconds. So I would randomly

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 1>like sometimes get things. This happened more in college. Um,

0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 1>you like open up a Snapchat and you're like, what

0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 1>am I looking at? And then you're like, okay, yeah,

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>this is for sure zone's penis and then and then

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 1>it goes away and you're kind of like that was weird,

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.120
<v Speaker 1>and then they would kind of like side message you.

0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:39.320
<v Speaker 1>And I think that kind of became a thing. And

0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I know that in high school they were like scandals pictures,

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 1>but I think that social media has now been given

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:47.719
<v Speaker 1>this more of an opportunity for people, because now you

0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.679
<v Speaker 1>can literally send like naked photos to somebody over Instagram

0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 1>and like DM them. So I kind of feel like

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.720
<v Speaker 1>it's it's not I think it's I wouldn't enjoy this.

0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I didn't enjoy it when I've gotten it, But um,

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 1>I think that it's way more of a thing now,

0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.000
<v Speaker 1>like you face time and you do like naked. Are

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.559
<v Speaker 1>we also missing the point that it's not an attractive photo.

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.800
<v Speaker 1>We're not talking about like you think of a picture

0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.200
<v Speaker 1>of what you like. Yeah, I mean, like I'm just

0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 1>going to be bold, and I hope my mom's not listening,

0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:22.680
<v Speaker 1>but I hope the right circumstances, everybody listen. Don't tune

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>now because Amy said don't listen to I think in

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:29.760
<v Speaker 1>the right circumstances, it can be like a turn on.

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:33.400
<v Speaker 1>And I'm just gonna say that question, when was the

0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:38.360
<v Speaker 1>last dick pick you got? How are you looking at

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:42.440
<v Speaker 1>your phone? I have to think on that like recently,

0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 1>this month, this month? What what circumcisions would those be? Exactly?

0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 1>I have? Okay, so sorry, I gotta get some guts here.

0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:02.040
<v Speaker 1>My hands are clamming there. What about like sexting? Uh,

0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:04.559
<v Speaker 1>That's why I was pointing out that I think that

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:08.920
<v Speaker 1>dick pick is. I don't think that like there was

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:12.880
<v Speaker 1>sexting like a couple of days ago. Okay, Okay, this

0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:16.200
<v Speaker 1>is so can I go? Yeah, you can go. So

0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.840
<v Speaker 1>I've received in my d M s a dick pick

0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:25.000
<v Speaker 1>before on Instagram. I've received it from me. It was

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 1>like Brooks, I love you on the show, bro, how

0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:34.320
<v Speaker 1>long did it take you to zoom in this picture

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 1>like a microphone? But it is like I don't know

0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>how girls handled because it was a startling. I saw

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:44.040
<v Speaker 1>it and I'm like, whoa, it's startling, Tori saking her head. No,

0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:48.840
<v Speaker 1>it's just a straight up Okay. So I guess what

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of going through in my mind is, oh god,

0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I really hope my mom's not listening. But I think

0:14:55.120 --> 0:15:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I would send a photo that's sort of classy when

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.640
<v Speaker 1>the other when we're texting back and forth, I'm not

0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 1>sure I had a weird like, Oh, I hope he

0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:11.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't send it back because that would be aggressive a little.

0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I'm having a hard time. I think a

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 1>girl sending up sort of a photo is easier on

0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:25.320
<v Speaker 1>everybody's eyes than the guy sending the photo. I think

0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:28.000
<v Speaker 1>it's jarring when a guy sends that. And that was

0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 1>my point. I don't think that the dick pick is

0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:31.840
<v Speaker 1>an attractive thing. I mean, and if I would ever

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:33.800
<v Speaker 1>do it, which I wouldn't. There was an episode of

0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 1>the King of Queens where he took a picture there

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 1>at a wedding and he put a little top hat

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.080
<v Speaker 1>on it and he pretended it was Abraham Lincoln. Like,

0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I'd have to have fun with it because it's not

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:43.280
<v Speaker 1>an attractive shot. Brooks, if you want to, like take

0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 1>off your shirt and send someone that photo, I think

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:47.200
<v Speaker 1>you got the right to do that. But I don't

0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 1>think anybody no offense Rick because you said you did it.

0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 1>You sent a rick pick good. I don't think it's

0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 1>going to be an attraction. I still disagree, and I

0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.760
<v Speaker 1>would love to hear from people on this because I

0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:04.240
<v Speaker 1>think in the right circumstances it could be quite So

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I can give you one a good circumstance on that.

0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:10.040
<v Speaker 1>So I like playing hockey. I had teammates that they

0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 1>said that, like, we traveled a lot. So I had

0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:14.680
<v Speaker 1>a teammate and I'm not going to mention his name,

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:16.160
<v Speaker 1>but him and his wife would send each other a

0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of photos or videos um to keep himself and

0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 1>then herself entertained while he was on the road. They're

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 1>married kids. I find nothing wrong with that that's in

0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.400
<v Speaker 1>their relationship. I find that that's still connecting. Yeah, Like

0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I find that's actually amazing. I would never do it

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.080
<v Speaker 1>with like a random but but when a guy just

0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:39.000
<v Speaker 1>sends out a like boom right in your face, here's

0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.760
<v Speaker 1>a dick picky And whether a d M or a text,

0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.480
<v Speaker 1>I think I think the guy is searching for is

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.960
<v Speaker 1>this going to escalate now? If not, I'm onto the next.

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>And it's also very abrasive. I think to the woman

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 1>to receive that, I'm forty five and in my life

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I've received three from three different people. That's it good

0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:01.640
<v Speaker 1>for you when you've send they call that a trifecta.

0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:06.920
<v Speaker 1>When you send your photos, do you include your face

0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and the photos are only a body shot? Never face.

0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.359
<v Speaker 1>My buddy that I told you about face all of them.

0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I asked him that. He goes, oh yeah, Brooks, I

0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:16.280
<v Speaker 1>just put it on. Was he getting his face in

0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:21.520
<v Speaker 1>his own dip bend friends time or on the iPhone?

0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't And that was the thing I was gonna

0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:25.639
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to say. It was like, there's obviously that

0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.880
<v Speaker 1>shock effect to receiving that, but on the other side

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.439
<v Speaker 1>of it, And don't get me wrong, I don't think

0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.520
<v Speaker 1>these this is right, but I just want to clarify that.

0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:40.359
<v Speaker 1>But the shock factor must also create a little bit

0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:43.879
<v Speaker 1>of intrigue behind it. No, they're shaking their heads. No,

0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.679
<v Speaker 1>Tories kind of like Tories just opened the window and

0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:52.199
<v Speaker 1>jumped out. So what about this? Do you ever have

0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.840
<v Speaker 1>you ever been texted or sexted a dick PI that's

0:17:56.080 --> 0:18:04.399
<v Speaker 1>circumcised or uncircumcised, and has that drawn any pretty? Very pretty?

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Are you? Are you? Are you trying to reveal something

0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:14.080
<v Speaker 1>to us here? It's a very topic of conversation. Maybe

0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:18.560
<v Speaker 1>it's another question. Maybe that Okay, as you're sort of

0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:23.240
<v Speaker 1>like moving a relationship along or whatever. Maybe that's like

0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.359
<v Speaker 1>a way to sort of talk about some things. I

0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:26.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I'm getting a little hety on it, but

0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe you're kind of like opening the door. Next question.

0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:42.120
<v Speaker 1>All right, we're moving on from the well. I'm sure

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.239
<v Speaker 1>at some point in this show that topic is going

0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:47.280
<v Speaker 1>to come back around. It's an important come back up. Yeah,

0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I sent him to him all the time, Like I said,

0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I only send them to him and all the time.

0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I would just be so cold that if Gavin, and

0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:57.760
<v Speaker 1>let's just say Gavin has a girlfriend and he's on

0:18:57.800 --> 0:18:59.840
<v Speaker 1>the road, Like I think that would be kind of cool.

0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:05.800
<v Speaker 1>I would go to um Sears and get professional pictures

0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:10.679
<v Speaker 1>done of it. Uh, you know, maybe with some items

0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.480
<v Speaker 1>from their catalog, with a little craftsman tools. See I'm

0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:15.320
<v Speaker 1>old school. I say, go to Santa Monica Pere and

0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:17.000
<v Speaker 1>have that person sketch it for you. And I think

0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:18.840
<v Speaker 1>that shows it's a great idea. They could do a

0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:23.920
<v Speaker 1>caricature version, make it more interesting. Alright, Okay, we're moving

0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:27.120
<v Speaker 1>on here. Guys. Uh, here's a question from Damien. We're

0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna switch topics here. If you could have any man

0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:32.479
<v Speaker 1>on the podcast dead or alive? Who would it be?

0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:35.200
<v Speaker 1>And why? I actually really like this question. Things is

0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:38.280
<v Speaker 1>one of us? Did I would like a dead Brooks?

0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:43.159
<v Speaker 1>Why you were within arms reach on me? You know

0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.760
<v Speaker 1>he fights a lot. So if you could have any

0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:48.040
<v Speaker 1>man on the podcast dead or alive, who would it be?

0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 1>And why? Rick? Anybody come to mind? Uh? Yeah, have

0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 1>any man? Something pops into my head. Yeah, thanks for

0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:57.520
<v Speaker 1>the question, Damian, I mean to be honest with you,

0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.440
<v Speaker 1>probably my grandfather on my dad's side, my dad dad,

0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:05.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, he Um was in Latvia as grew up

0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:08.960
<v Speaker 1>in Latvia, one of the Baltic states, and escaped from

0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:12.119
<v Speaker 1>Latvia from the Russians during World War two and just

0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.880
<v Speaker 1>had a crazy kind of long history of getting out

0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:18.240
<v Speaker 1>of his his home country, moving to Germany during World

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.280
<v Speaker 1>War two, getting captured by the Allies, coming to America,

0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:25.600
<v Speaker 1>and did the whole immigration process while raising four kids. Um,

0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:27.960
<v Speaker 1>And so I would love an opportunity to sit down

0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:30.400
<v Speaker 1>with him and discuss with him how that was like,

0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:33.439
<v Speaker 1>what he went through, what was his mindset you know

0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:36.199
<v Speaker 1>of how do you raise four kids? I'm having a

0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:40.159
<v Speaker 1>hard time with two in a regular neighborhood you know,

0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and to go from you know, a country that you've

0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:48.480
<v Speaker 1>completely up rooted yourself, go to another country with no money,

0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:51.960
<v Speaker 1>no nothing on your back beside your family, Like I

0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:54.240
<v Speaker 1>would love to sit and chat with him about that. Wow,

0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:58.320
<v Speaker 1>great answer, Dmitri. I would like to say my father

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:02.200
<v Speaker 1>who's passed, but he was such a great storyteller. He

0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:06.240
<v Speaker 1>taught me everything, um that I know and hopefully that

0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:08.600
<v Speaker 1>he knew, and and he was very funny. So I

0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:09.959
<v Speaker 1>feel like if we were to bring him on, there

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:13.640
<v Speaker 1>would be no need for me. So I'm gonna I'm

0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:16.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna just pass pass on that for now. Um, you know,

0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:18.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go I love you know what, ricks up,

0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go a little more lighthearted, and I'm gonna

0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:25.640
<v Speaker 1>go with Chevy Chase because um, growing up, love him

0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.840
<v Speaker 1>growing up, he was my comedic idol and i'd, you know,

0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:30.800
<v Speaker 1>watch all his movies. Fletch is one of my favorite

0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:33.359
<v Speaker 1>movies of all time. And I still look at Clark

0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Griswold as the ultimate family man. Clark, Yeah, Ryan, my

0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:40.840
<v Speaker 1>father who was killed when I was six years old.

0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I would choose him, and we've we've touched upon it

0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:47.920
<v Speaker 1>in previous episodes. But um, yeah, there's a million questions

0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I would want to ask him, and I'd want him

0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:52.359
<v Speaker 1>to see the man I've become in the family that

0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I've created, and hopefully approve of everything I've done up

0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:03.720
<v Speaker 1>until now and validate everything I've done and just see, Yeah,

0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:06.280
<v Speaker 1>like I would ask a million questions, Do you have

0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:08.400
<v Speaker 1>one question you'd like to share with us that you'd

0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:12.159
<v Speaker 1>really like your your dad to answer? Is he proud

0:22:12.200 --> 0:22:17.160

0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:20.320
<v Speaker 1>You're You're a hero for sharing that. I bet there's

0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:22.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people in our audience that that resonates

0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:24.280
<v Speaker 1>with the are listening to that, and I think all

0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:25.840
<v Speaker 1>of us you can feel it in here. I'm certain

0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:30.360
<v Speaker 1>emotional right now. And um this leads to the next

0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:33.240
<v Speaker 1>question as well. Last time you cried and legit? Why?

0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll let you guys think on it for the break

0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:38.320
<v Speaker 1>coming back from break, the guys have been thinking over

0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:42.200
<v Speaker 1>this hard. Gavin cried a little bit, thinking about it.

0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Very sensitive. Let's lead with you, buddy. This is from Patrick.

0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:54.280
<v Speaker 1>The last time you cried a legit cry? And why? Oh, Actually,

0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:57.480
<v Speaker 1>my eyes watered up today. I had an interview today

0:22:57.640 --> 0:23:01.359
<v Speaker 1>and uh, I Uh. I had an interview today and

0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:05.119
<v Speaker 1>the person interviewing me, um, by the way, you were

0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:08.400
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be there books uh with me do that interview,

0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:10.800
<v Speaker 1>and you left me alone? Is that why you gride?

0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:15.440
<v Speaker 1>How got separation anxiety? I got so scared? It's true.

0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I waited, I waited by the door for you. Here

0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:23.880
<v Speaker 1>are my wooby. So so I had an interview by

0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:27.440
<v Speaker 1>myself because you decided not to come with me. And

0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I was in the interview with all of these strangers

0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:34.240
<v Speaker 1>on the air, and one of them, uh told me

0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:38.080
<v Speaker 1>that her mother had passed away a few months ago,

0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:40.960
<v Speaker 1>and she knew that, she knew my mother had passed

0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:43.200
<v Speaker 1>a year and a half ago. I gave her a

0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:46.439
<v Speaker 1>hug and uh, it got kind of emotionally, you know.

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:49.119
<v Speaker 1>She she got kind of emotional, and that, of course

0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:52.400
<v Speaker 1>made me emotional, so I did. I began to tear

0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:55.240
<v Speaker 1>a little bit and uh. And then I got ahold

0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:57.439
<v Speaker 1>of myself and I lightened the mood with some you know,

0:23:57.520 --> 0:24:01.040
<v Speaker 1>absurdities because I had to get can troll of myself again.

0:24:01.119 --> 0:24:02.760
<v Speaker 1>It's hard, hard thing to talk about, you know, when

0:24:02.760 --> 0:24:06.560
<v Speaker 1>you lose a loved one, particularly you know, a parent,

0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:10.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's a tough thing to to a tough

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:13.600
<v Speaker 1>thing to get through. And I had a conversation with

0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:17.160
<v Speaker 1>a close friend of mine um and he had told

0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:19.640
<v Speaker 1>me that he had lost his mother. And he said

0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:21.919
<v Speaker 1>to me, he said, there's he said, years ago, a

0:24:21.960 --> 0:24:25.639
<v Speaker 1>friend of his told him that there's. You have two lives.

0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:27.280
<v Speaker 1>You have your life with your mother, and then you

0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:31.920
<v Speaker 1>have your life after your mother passes. And uh, it's

0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:36.280
<v Speaker 1>He's totally right. Uh, your life is completely different. Everything

0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:38.960
<v Speaker 1>is different. I mean it looks the same, but it

0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:42.199
<v Speaker 1>doesn't feel the same, you know. So it's just a

0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:45.080
<v Speaker 1>different day. You know, every day is just just it's

0:24:45.119 --> 0:24:48.800
<v Speaker 1>just the son didn't quite as bright, you know. Can

0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:53.000
<v Speaker 1>you tell us what your favorite thing about your mom was? No,

0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:58.320
<v Speaker 1>non good qualities? One thing you loved about your mom? Smile, laugh,

0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:04.240
<v Speaker 1>She supported just something. My mother had class, you know,

0:25:04.320 --> 0:25:05.840
<v Speaker 1>she had class. I feel like she had class for

0:25:05.880 --> 0:25:10.960
<v Speaker 1>all of us. And so she could remind you with

0:25:11.240 --> 0:25:17.800
<v Speaker 1>just her demeanor to get control of yourself, you know

0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:21.040
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, not even correcting you, Just her demeanor

0:25:22.160 --> 0:25:27.440
<v Speaker 1>was enough. What was your mom's name? Lynn? Yeah? Beautiful man, beautiful.

0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:30.399
<v Speaker 1>Thank you Ryan for you buddy. The last time you cried,

0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:34.080
<v Speaker 1>a legit cry, and why the I can't. I don't

0:25:34.080 --> 0:25:37.200
<v Speaker 1>cry that often. The last I can remember the last

0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:41.840
<v Speaker 1>two times I cried, and that's a large um year disparity.

0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:44.600
<v Speaker 1>But the last time I cried, it was one of

0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:48.520
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles won the Super Bowl. Legitimate. I never in

0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:52.760
<v Speaker 1>my life, I never see a Philadelphia champion an Eagles

0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:57.000
<v Speaker 1>championship ever. And to that end, that's why my grandfather

0:25:57.080 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 1>is ninety three years old back in Philly. I am

0:26:00.000 --> 0:26:02.680
<v Speaker 1>immediately after Eagles won the Super Bowl, picked up phone,

0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:06.080
<v Speaker 1>called him and cried because I thought he was going

0:26:06.160 --> 0:26:09.920
<v Speaker 1>to die before he ever got So we would talk

0:26:10.080 --> 0:26:12.520

0:26:12.560 --> 0:26:15.399

0:26:15.520 --> 0:26:18.720

<v Speaker 1>you know, answer it properly here. Um, thanks for the question, Patrick.

0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:15.000
<v Speaker 1>In terms of crying, you know, I don't know, similar

0:27:15.040 --> 0:27:17.320
<v Speaker 1>to Ryan, Like, I don't know if I've had a

0:27:17.400 --> 0:27:21.560
<v Speaker 1>like a legit, full out cry, you know, like I've

0:27:21.600 --> 0:27:25.480
<v Speaker 1>gone I recently, and you know, I go through life

0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:28.119
<v Speaker 1>in their little times where I get really emotional, Like

0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I gave a speech at my brother's fiftieth birthday party,

0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:32.080
<v Speaker 1>and like I was trying to talk and all of

0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:33.639
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, I just kind of broke out. And I

0:27:33.640 --> 0:27:35.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know if it's like a nervousness cry or what

0:27:35.960 --> 0:27:38.720
<v Speaker 1>the heck it is. Um. Recently, I was just in

0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Cooper's town for one of my son's baseball games. And

0:27:41.119 --> 0:27:44.080
<v Speaker 1>the national anthem was playing, and I just started tearing

0:27:44.160 --> 0:27:46.280
<v Speaker 1>up a little bit. You know. It's like it's more

0:27:46.320 --> 0:27:49.760
<v Speaker 1>out of pride, I feel like now than it is

0:27:49.760 --> 0:27:52.439
<v Speaker 1>about like a sadness per se. I mean, I know

0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:54.200
<v Speaker 1>that will come at a certain point in my life,

0:27:54.200 --> 0:27:55.679
<v Speaker 1>but a lot of it's more out of pride. Like

0:27:55.720 --> 0:27:58.399
<v Speaker 1>my son worked extremely hard to get to this point,

0:27:58.440 --> 0:28:00.920
<v Speaker 1>to get to that tournament, and to you know, see

0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:04.040
<v Speaker 1>him there with the national anthem going, and you know,

0:28:04.080 --> 0:28:06.240
<v Speaker 1>it was just super proud moments. Or all be in

0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:10.160
<v Speaker 1>a car and I'll listen to a song and it's

0:28:10.160 --> 0:28:14.760
<v Speaker 1>not Gavin Degrass song, but so you cry and like

0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:18.680
<v Speaker 1>just be so into it and emotional and like it

0:28:18.920 --> 0:28:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm not crying per se, but all like get

0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:25.359
<v Speaker 1>this weird inside feeling of just you know, proudness. I

0:28:25.359 --> 0:28:28.280
<v Speaker 1>get Proudness isn't really a word, but um, and it

0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:30.840
<v Speaker 1>just it's I get really emotional about things, you know,

0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:33.960
<v Speaker 1>like coming here and enjoying this new experience, you know,

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:35.680
<v Speaker 1>and like it's I take a lot of pride in

0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:38.560
<v Speaker 1>what I do and what we do. Um. And so

0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:41.520
<v Speaker 1>even then it's like that I'm so it's less of

0:28:41.640 --> 0:28:45.040
<v Speaker 1>like a sadness cry. It's more along lines I get,

0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:48.560
<v Speaker 1>I get, you know, um, tear eyed about certain you

0:28:48.600 --> 0:28:51.280
<v Speaker 1>know things. It's a very blessed life man to be

0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:55.280
<v Speaker 1>able to cry out of happiness. You're very lucky. Yeah. Okay,

0:28:55.320 --> 0:28:57.920
<v Speaker 1>So last time, honestly, when Ryan just opened up about

0:28:57.960 --> 0:29:00.400
<v Speaker 1>his father brought tears in my eyes. I thought that

0:29:00.440 --> 0:29:06.160
<v Speaker 1>was super powerful. Um. And then prior to that, I

0:29:06.160 --> 0:29:09.320
<v Speaker 1>had a conversation with my wife probably about two to

0:29:09.440 --> 0:29:16.040
<v Speaker 1>three months ago about hockey and unresolved issues, still trying

0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:20.760
<v Speaker 1>to move through in process being done playing hockey. Um

0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:24.080
<v Speaker 1>had some tears there for sure. Uh. And still I

0:29:24.120 --> 0:29:26.080
<v Speaker 1>think there's still more in there that I need to

0:29:26.800 --> 0:29:29.719
<v Speaker 1>to get out. Uh. And then prior to that one,

0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:31.880
<v Speaker 1>the last really big time I cried was the day

0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I was released. It was a big like I just

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:38.120
<v Speaker 1>shut the blinds and so, how did you find out

0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:41.160
<v Speaker 1>that you were released? And like tell talks to the moment? Okay,

0:29:41.160 --> 0:29:43.200
<v Speaker 1>So this is it's kind of ironic in a lot

0:29:43.240 --> 0:29:47.600
<v Speaker 1>of ways. It was Thanksgiving Day, November seven, November of seventeen,

0:29:48.200 --> 0:29:50.120
<v Speaker 1>and we had practiced in the morning playing for l

0:29:50.160 --> 0:29:51.640
<v Speaker 1>A Kings. We had practiced in the morning. I was

0:29:51.720 --> 0:29:55.240
<v Speaker 1>driving to the airport to catch our team flight to Phoenix,

0:29:55.800 --> 0:29:59.120
<v Speaker 1>where I was going to meet my parents for Thanksgive

0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Us Thanksgiving, You West Thanksgiving. I was gonna meet my

0:30:01.280 --> 0:30:04.040
<v Speaker 1>parents for Thanksgiving supper at their house in Phoenix. And

0:30:04.120 --> 0:30:07.160
<v Speaker 1>my parents are Canadian but they winter in Phoenix, so

0:30:07.240 --> 0:30:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna have Thanksgiving supper with them. Play the

0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:12.160
<v Speaker 1>next night in Phoenix. Was going to be fantastic. Little

0:30:12.200 --> 0:30:14.000
<v Speaker 1>two days and I got a phone call said, hey,

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Brooks can come back to the rink. And I knew

0:30:16.360 --> 0:30:18.760
<v Speaker 1>right away because as a general manager, knew right away.

0:30:19.320 --> 0:30:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Um walked into the office and he's like, we're going younger,

0:30:22.520 --> 0:30:25.520
<v Speaker 1>we need to let you go, and I I was.

0:30:25.680 --> 0:30:28.040
<v Speaker 1>He was a man I could. I can't thank Mr

0:30:28.080 --> 0:30:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Blake enough about how he dealt with me in that moment.

0:30:31.600 --> 0:30:35.320
<v Speaker 1>He gave me some of the worst news potentially of

0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:37.800
<v Speaker 1>my life, but he delivered it straightforward and honest and

0:30:37.880 --> 0:30:40.360
<v Speaker 1>sincerely and as a man, you can take that when

0:30:40.360 --> 0:30:42.640
<v Speaker 1>it's genuine. And shook his hands and thank you for

0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:45.840
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity, and then went home and just like cried

0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:51.000
<v Speaker 1>like just it was damn yourenna make me. You're gonna

0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:52.880
<v Speaker 1>make me crying here again. Let me let me ask

0:30:52.920 --> 0:30:57.600
<v Speaker 1>you something, Um, did you speak with him since? Have

0:30:57.680 --> 0:30:59.840
<v Speaker 1>you called him since to thank him for being to

0:31:00.200 --> 0:31:01.760
<v Speaker 1>with you, because it sounds like you appreciate the way

0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:03.680
<v Speaker 1>that he went about it. I did, and I told

0:31:03.760 --> 0:31:05.160
<v Speaker 1>him that we had a great discussion. We had a

0:31:05.160 --> 0:31:08.160
<v Speaker 1>discussion before I played with the King's about if this

0:31:08.280 --> 0:31:10.600
<v Speaker 1>was to not work out, what would happen with me,

0:31:11.160 --> 0:31:13.680
<v Speaker 1>so that the cards were all on the table. And

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:16.400
<v Speaker 1>so that's one thing I appreciated anybody in a management

0:31:16.440 --> 0:31:19.280
<v Speaker 1>position out there listening to this. People can take good

0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:21.240
<v Speaker 1>or bad news as long as you are transparent and

0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:23.600
<v Speaker 1>open with them. So we talked about this from the start.

0:31:23.640 --> 0:31:25.360
<v Speaker 1>He's like, we want you here, Let's try it. If

0:31:25.360 --> 0:31:27.280
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't work out, we're going to have to part ways.

0:31:27.320 --> 0:31:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Great man, let me come in, play my ass off.

0:31:29.840 --> 0:31:31.719
<v Speaker 1>And at the end of the day then I know

0:31:31.800 --> 0:31:34.240
<v Speaker 1>we at least both tried and he treated me with

0:31:34.280 --> 0:31:38.360
<v Speaker 1>the utmost respect. Thankful for the King's organization and the opportunity.

0:31:38.400 --> 0:31:42.280
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, but those are ryan today, the last conversation

0:31:42.280 --> 0:31:44.280
<v Speaker 1>with my wife about hockey and really the day I

0:31:44.360 --> 0:31:49.240
<v Speaker 1>was let go, I really had a big emotional uh cry.

0:31:51.760 --> 0:31:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I almost cried honestly leaving the parting gradually today because

0:31:55.080 --> 0:32:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I forgot to get validated and ain't got paid yet.

0:32:02.440 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 1>All right, we'll go back from break in a second,

0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:07.520
<v Speaker 1>back from break. I just dried all my tears again

0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:10.200
<v Speaker 1>from crying lost the pool for who cries first in

0:32:10.240 --> 0:32:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the studio. But Dmitri, you have an answer you'd like

0:32:14.040 --> 0:32:16.200
<v Speaker 1>to ask you the last time you legit cried and why?

0:32:16.440 --> 0:32:20.680
<v Speaker 1>So it was this past year, And UM, I'm gonna

0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:23.200
<v Speaker 1>say this for all audiences, so I'm gonna try and

0:32:23.280 --> 0:32:26.760
<v Speaker 1>keep it, uh without tipping anything. But um, it was

0:32:26.800 --> 0:32:29.800
<v Speaker 1>a busy time in life, and the tooth fairy forgot

0:32:29.840 --> 0:32:34.720
<v Speaker 1>to come from my oldest daughter, and um, and so

0:32:35.080 --> 0:32:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I she was she was, she woke up and the

0:32:38.040 --> 0:32:40.480
<v Speaker 1>minute the moment I saw her, it dawned on me

0:32:41.080 --> 0:32:44.960
<v Speaker 1>that that um, that she was upset and I knew why,

0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:47.160
<v Speaker 1>and so I sat her down and I tried to

0:32:47.200 --> 0:32:49.720
<v Speaker 1>explain to her was grasping at straws, and I tried

0:32:49.720 --> 0:32:51.240
<v Speaker 1>to explain her that it might have been my fault

0:32:51.760 --> 0:32:55.120
<v Speaker 1>because um, I think that I had set the house

0:32:55.160 --> 0:32:57.680
<v Speaker 1>alarm that night and maybe that scared off the tooth

0:32:57.720 --> 0:33:00.680
<v Speaker 1>fairy in the set and as I was trying to

0:33:00.720 --> 0:33:03.600
<v Speaker 1>explain this to her, she reached over and she gave

0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:05.840
<v Speaker 1>me a hug, and I just started bawling, like she

0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:09.240
<v Speaker 1>now she was comforting me, and and at that point

0:33:09.800 --> 0:33:12.800
<v Speaker 1>I knew that she had figured it out. Um, whatever

0:33:12.840 --> 0:33:17.280
<v Speaker 1>she needed, whatever the explanation was, um, and isn't as

0:33:17.320 --> 0:33:20.880
<v Speaker 1>comforting as that was, And that it was a relief, Um,

0:33:20.880 --> 0:33:22.600
<v Speaker 1>that she didn't think she was just left out and

0:33:22.600 --> 0:33:26.440
<v Speaker 1>this and that. Um, it was obviously a big step

0:33:26.680 --> 0:33:30.360
<v Speaker 1>in in a kid's life to to move on from

0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:32.720
<v Speaker 1>that and how that happen. And so it was funny

0:33:32.760 --> 0:33:34.760
<v Speaker 1>because I tried to make her feel better and I

0:33:34.760 --> 0:33:37.200
<v Speaker 1>broke down. Then she comforted me, and then I think

0:33:37.240 --> 0:33:40.040
<v Speaker 1>it was just a little bit of relief. So okay,

0:33:40.200 --> 0:33:43.640
<v Speaker 1>So does the tooth fairy come the next night and

0:33:43.720 --> 0:33:49.480
<v Speaker 1>come with a bigger better Uh? Well, don't forget this

0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:52.800
<v Speaker 1>is the she's the oldest of four kids. So um,

0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:56.520
<v Speaker 1>it was kept under wraps. The tooth fairy did come, um,

0:33:56.600 --> 0:34:00.200
<v Speaker 1>and the tooth Fairy will continue to come whether um

0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:03.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, with with whether she expects it or not.

0:34:03.680 --> 0:34:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Is this the part where you tell us that she's thirty? Yeah,

0:34:07.440 --> 0:34:13.399
<v Speaker 1>obviously my oldest. Okay, we're going to I just want

0:34:13.400 --> 0:34:16.000
<v Speaker 1>to say thank you, gentlemen, because that was like you

0:34:16.120 --> 0:34:18.960
<v Speaker 1>all opened up and exposed some things that are very

0:34:19.120 --> 0:34:24.400
<v Speaker 1>real and authentic and near and dear to your hearts. UM,

0:34:24.440 --> 0:34:28.359
<v Speaker 1>thank you so thank you for that question. Patrick, Uh,

0:34:28.560 --> 0:34:32.759
<v Speaker 1>really appreciate that. Here's another question from Ellie. She says,

0:34:32.880 --> 0:34:36.759
<v Speaker 1>I am professionally successful, nearly thirty year old female who

0:34:36.800 --> 0:34:39.520
<v Speaker 1>was still a virgin years ago. I made the decision

0:34:39.560 --> 0:34:41.439
<v Speaker 1>as part of my faith to wait to have sex

0:34:41.520 --> 0:34:45.120
<v Speaker 1>until marriage. That being said, here are my two questions. First,

0:34:45.520 --> 0:34:47.640
<v Speaker 1>does it matter to you who are you dating what

0:34:47.760 --> 0:34:52.160
<v Speaker 1>your partner's sexual history is? And second, at what point

0:34:52.160 --> 0:34:55.160
<v Speaker 1>in dating do you bring up your deal breakers. I'm

0:34:55.200 --> 0:34:57.440
<v Speaker 1>someone that prefers to rip the band aid off and

0:34:57.440 --> 0:34:59.440
<v Speaker 1>just bring it up so I don't waste anyone's time.

0:34:59.680 --> 0:35:01.920
<v Speaker 1>But I I have friends who think you need to

0:35:01.960 --> 0:35:05.360
<v Speaker 1>win them over first and then drop the deal breaker bombs.

0:35:06.760 --> 0:35:10.040
<v Speaker 1>So back to the first question, doesn't matter who you

0:35:10.080 --> 0:35:17.000
<v Speaker 1>are dating, UM with what their sexual history is. I'll

0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:20.920
<v Speaker 1>go I I've I've always wanted to know that, UM,

0:35:21.000 --> 0:35:23.520
<v Speaker 1>somebody whoever I was going to end up with hadn't

0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:26.960
<v Speaker 1>just gone and and done it with anybody, So it

0:35:26.960 --> 0:35:28.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't matter. It wasn't like I was like, well that

0:35:28.640 --> 0:35:30.000
<v Speaker 1>it has it has to be on one, you know,

0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:34.200
<v Speaker 1>five or less or you know. But in my in

0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:37.520
<v Speaker 1>my reality, when I thought about settling down and marrying

0:35:37.600 --> 0:35:40.400
<v Speaker 1>someone and having them be the mother to my kids,

0:35:40.440 --> 0:35:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want it to be such a flippant thought

0:35:43.200 --> 0:35:45.080
<v Speaker 1>for them to be with to have just been with

0:35:45.120 --> 0:35:47.719
<v Speaker 1>a ton of people. So I never had a specific

0:35:47.800 --> 0:35:51.160
<v Speaker 1>number in my head. Um, but it was something that

0:35:51.200 --> 0:35:52.759
<v Speaker 1>I was always aware of. And if someone had come

0:35:52.800 --> 0:35:54.560
<v Speaker 1>to me and said, hey, you know, I've been with

0:35:54.640 --> 0:35:58.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, a hundred people, I probably, honestly, I would

0:35:58.160 --> 0:36:00.719
<v Speaker 1>probably have a problem with that. But the flip side,

0:36:00.719 --> 0:36:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I think, and what what Ellie is getting at is

0:36:04.400 --> 0:36:09.000
<v Speaker 1>if you are a virgin, that's then could you ever

0:36:09.040 --> 0:36:11.440
<v Speaker 1>be with someone? And you spoke about it when we

0:36:11.560 --> 0:36:16.280
<v Speaker 1>talked about intimacy and when Julianne was on intimacy for

0:36:16.480 --> 0:36:19.600
<v Speaker 1>many people is such a large part of a marriage

0:36:19.600 --> 0:36:23.320
<v Speaker 1>and a relationship And can you enter into a marriage

0:36:23.920 --> 0:36:27.759
<v Speaker 1>without knowing if you have that sexual chemistry? Could you

0:36:28.120 --> 0:36:32.879
<v Speaker 1>are you asking me personally? I full transparency. I think

0:36:32.880 --> 0:36:38.200
<v Speaker 1>for myself personally, would be very difficult. I think a

0:36:38.200 --> 0:36:42.200
<v Speaker 1>a sexual relationship to me prior to marriage would be

0:36:42.280 --> 0:36:47.760
<v Speaker 1>very important and was to me uh with my wife. Uh.

0:36:47.920 --> 0:36:50.600
<v Speaker 1>And so for me that would be very difficult. And

0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:52.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm only speaking for me, I'm not speaking for all

0:36:52.840 --> 0:36:56.319
<v Speaker 1>men on that. What about yourself? It's a it's a

0:36:56.320 --> 0:37:00.560
<v Speaker 1>really tough one. It's you know, because I respect someone

0:37:01.160 --> 0:37:03.800
<v Speaker 1>someone's faith and that this is a faith based decision

0:37:03.880 --> 0:37:07.200
<v Speaker 1>and you have to you have to honor that respect

0:37:07.239 --> 0:37:12.359
<v Speaker 1>that completely. YEA, But I would echo what you said.

0:37:12.400 --> 0:37:15.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't think. I don't think I could enter into

0:37:15.520 --> 0:37:19.000
<v Speaker 1>a marriage and not know and then find out, you know,

0:37:19.440 --> 0:37:21.480
<v Speaker 1>early on in the marriage that we have no sexual

0:37:21.600 --> 0:37:25.480
<v Speaker 1>chemistry and that this isn't going to work. I don't

0:37:25.480 --> 0:37:28.680
<v Speaker 1>think I could ever do that. Can you develop like say, say,

0:37:28.760 --> 0:37:30.759
<v Speaker 1>you you get married and you don't have that and

0:37:30.800 --> 0:37:32.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know the answer this I'm asking, And you

0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:34.960
<v Speaker 1>get married and you don't feel that sexual chemistry because

0:37:35.000 --> 0:37:37.799
<v Speaker 1>you haven't had that closeness yet. Do you think that's

0:37:37.800 --> 0:37:40.840
<v Speaker 1>something that can develop from then and you can develop

0:37:40.920 --> 0:37:44.120
<v Speaker 1>that sexual chemistry together or is it right off the bat?

0:37:44.200 --> 0:37:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Yes or no? Probably? I think more often than not

0:37:48.280 --> 0:37:54.120
<v Speaker 1>in this case, it's a virgin would end up with

0:37:54.200 --> 0:37:58.600
<v Speaker 1>another virgin who has kept his or her virginity for

0:37:58.640 --> 0:38:02.879
<v Speaker 1>the exact same reasons and are going through this journey

0:38:03.520 --> 0:38:08.319
<v Speaker 1>of sexual exploration together, and so there's less likelihood that

0:38:08.320 --> 0:38:11.840
<v Speaker 1>that you're you're you really want to laugh at that.

0:38:11.960 --> 0:38:13.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm not laughing at I'm just in my head. If

0:38:13.880 --> 0:38:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm being honest, I think, yeah, that's it's probably not

0:38:16.480 --> 0:38:19.120
<v Speaker 1>going to be great for a while if they're both versions.

0:38:19.520 --> 0:38:21.800
<v Speaker 1>But I also think that I also think that if

0:38:21.840 --> 0:38:23.960
<v Speaker 1>if the man or the woman is a virgin and

0:38:24.000 --> 0:38:26.759
<v Speaker 1>the other one is not, that you can still have

0:38:26.840 --> 0:38:29.960
<v Speaker 1>sexual chemistry without having sex. That you could be like

0:38:30.120 --> 0:38:32.920
<v Speaker 1>just lusting and desiring the person and you could know

0:38:33.040 --> 0:38:35.840
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be incredible when we do. And

0:38:35.880 --> 0:38:38.799
<v Speaker 1>it's a faith based decision, as Ellie says, So I

0:38:38.840 --> 0:38:42.040
<v Speaker 1>think that, yes, do I think it can happen. Absolutely.

0:38:42.239 --> 0:38:45.279
<v Speaker 1>I think there can be chemistry without actual sex going on,

0:38:46.000 --> 0:38:48.279
<v Speaker 1>no doubt about it. What about the opposite way? What

0:38:48.320 --> 0:38:51.520
<v Speaker 1>about like is it? Um doesn't matter how many partners

0:38:51.960 --> 0:39:00.080
<v Speaker 1>your potential life partner has had prior to you asking me, Um,

0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:05.759
<v Speaker 1>you know it could Listen, Let's be realistic Okay. I mean,

0:39:06.480 --> 0:39:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm no angel. And as much as men think that

0:39:10.200 --> 0:39:13.560
<v Speaker 1>they're looking for one, it's a it's most of the

0:39:13.640 --> 0:39:17.120
<v Speaker 1>time it's it's more like a fantasy land. You know.

0:39:17.160 --> 0:39:22.400
<v Speaker 1>You're looking for someone to have traits that are mostly unrealistic. Um.

0:39:22.440 --> 0:39:26.880
<v Speaker 1>And part of that maintaining that infatuation with someone is

0:39:26.880 --> 0:39:29.920
<v Speaker 1>they're not necessarily exposing all of the worst parts of

0:39:29.960 --> 0:39:32.359
<v Speaker 1>their life or phases of their life that they went

0:39:32.440 --> 0:39:35.400
<v Speaker 1>through in order for you to maintain that fantasy about

0:39:35.440 --> 0:39:38.560
<v Speaker 1>them and that innocence, that purity in your mind that

0:39:38.640 --> 0:39:42.800
<v Speaker 1>they may have. Um, you don't necessarily want to know everything.

0:39:43.080 --> 0:39:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't, and I want to permit them to have.

0:39:46.440 --> 0:39:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to permit them to having gone through those

0:39:49.600 --> 0:39:53.600
<v Speaker 1>developmental phases of their life. UM. You know, I'm certainly

0:39:53.600 --> 0:39:59.160
<v Speaker 1>not looking to be somebody's educator and relationship. UM. So

0:39:59.320 --> 0:40:03.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, because would be an incredible imbalance for me. UM.

0:40:03.280 --> 0:40:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I want somebody who has been part of the world. Uh,

0:40:08.640 --> 0:40:14.920
<v Speaker 1>and not necessarily is someone who's freaking out we're in

0:40:14.960 --> 0:40:18.680
<v Speaker 1>a room together. UM. You know, I mean I want

0:40:18.680 --> 0:40:21.719
<v Speaker 1>there to be some level of understanding there, and uh,

0:40:22.520 --> 0:40:25.399
<v Speaker 1>it cannot it's not necessarily all sexual, but I want

0:40:25.440 --> 0:40:29.920
<v Speaker 1>them to have had relationships and a real life and

0:40:30.000 --> 0:40:33.480
<v Speaker 1>a job. And you know, it's okay to have friends

0:40:33.560 --> 0:40:36.520
<v Speaker 1>and enemies. That's real life. It's okay for them to

0:40:36.600 --> 0:40:40.040
<v Speaker 1>have a wild phase of their life. I certainly did.

0:40:40.640 --> 0:40:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Um And so yeah, you go ahead to echo and

0:40:45.640 --> 0:40:50.239
<v Speaker 1>take further what you're saying. I believe that whatever if

0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:52.960
<v Speaker 1>this person, if you are looking at somebody as your

0:40:53.040 --> 0:40:57.399
<v Speaker 1>life partner, your significant other for life, you have such

0:40:57.400 --> 0:41:00.640
<v Speaker 1>a deep love and admiration and respect for that person

0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:03.920
<v Speaker 1>that whatever they went through that got them to be

0:41:04.120 --> 0:41:09.440
<v Speaker 1>that person, I think is necessary. You know, like the

0:41:09.480 --> 0:41:14.200
<v Speaker 1>man I am to my wife today is because of

0:41:14.280 --> 0:41:16.439
<v Speaker 1>a lot of stuff that I've gone through, good or bad,

0:41:17.280 --> 0:41:19.680
<v Speaker 1>to meeting her and for her, the woman she is

0:41:20.080 --> 0:41:22.480
<v Speaker 1>is stuff that she's gone through that maybe was painful

0:41:22.600 --> 0:41:25.000
<v Speaker 1>or maybe enjoyable or whatever at certain times of her life,

0:41:25.000 --> 0:41:27.520
<v Speaker 1>but has brought her to this moment to be prepared

0:41:27.560 --> 0:41:30.200
<v Speaker 1>and be this type of a human to be in

0:41:30.239 --> 0:41:32.600
<v Speaker 1>a relationship with me. So I think there is value.

0:41:32.640 --> 0:41:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, I was I was thinking, you know,

0:41:37.120 --> 0:41:38.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that there's a little bit of a builder

0:41:39.160 --> 0:41:41.640
<v Speaker 1>in every one of us, a little bit of a fixer.

0:41:42.560 --> 0:41:46.520
<v Speaker 1>And I think that I think part of appealing to

0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:49.040
<v Speaker 1>that element of our psyche is looking for things that

0:41:49.080 --> 0:41:51.799
<v Speaker 1>are a little bit broken, and and I think you're

0:41:51.840 --> 0:41:56.120
<v Speaker 1>looking for something that you can help too, And and

0:41:56.160 --> 0:41:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I think you ultimately find each other in that way.

0:41:59.040 --> 0:42:01.399
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're looking for someone to fill and fix

0:42:01.480 --> 0:42:03.919
<v Speaker 1>certain parts of you, and you're looking to help fix

0:42:03.960 --> 0:42:06.480
<v Speaker 1>certain parts of other people, only the ones that you

0:42:06.520 --> 0:42:09.400
<v Speaker 1>think that you can be helpful with, you know what

0:42:09.480 --> 0:42:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean. Yeah, that's a great point. And and what

0:42:12.040 --> 0:42:14.319
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say based on what you both said,

0:42:14.360 --> 0:42:16.760
<v Speaker 1>but Brooks, what you just mentioned. It's funny. The second

0:42:16.760 --> 0:42:19.960
<v Speaker 1>half of Ellie's question was about deal breakers and what

0:42:20.000 --> 0:42:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, but you actually pointed out pointed

0:42:23.040 --> 0:42:25.480
<v Speaker 1>out the reason why for me, I don't think that

0:42:25.680 --> 0:42:28.120
<v Speaker 1>anybody can really have a deal breaker. For instance, I

0:42:28.160 --> 0:42:31.000
<v Speaker 1>mentioned what I mentioned in my ideal thought, but I

0:42:31.040 --> 0:42:35.279
<v Speaker 1>don't believe in in deal breakers because so what you said,

0:42:35.280 --> 0:42:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I think when you meet somebody whatever brought them to this,

0:42:38.920 --> 0:42:40.880
<v Speaker 1>that's the person that you're that you're gonna that you

0:42:41.040 --> 0:42:43.080
<v Speaker 1>want to be within your learning, so you can go

0:42:43.120 --> 0:42:45.759
<v Speaker 1>into a situation and say, listen, this is my deal breaker,

0:42:45.800 --> 0:42:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I won't do. But when you meet a person, if

0:42:47.600 --> 0:42:52.040
<v Speaker 1>they connect with you and there's that there's that bond

0:42:52.120 --> 0:42:54.720
<v Speaker 1>between you two, I think when you find that right person,

0:42:54.719 --> 0:42:57.440
<v Speaker 1>because technically, I mean not technically, but people say, hey,

0:42:57.440 --> 0:42:59.480
<v Speaker 1>there's one person for you, right, And if you believe that,

0:42:59.840 --> 0:43:02.160
<v Speaker 1>then there's no way you can set a criteria and

0:43:02.200 --> 0:43:03.799
<v Speaker 1>say these are my deal breakers and this person can

0:43:03.800 --> 0:43:07.000
<v Speaker 1>have fallen that because you'll meet somebody and maybe there's

0:43:07.040 --> 0:43:09.359
<v Speaker 1>something that you thought was a deal breaker, but you're like, wow,

0:43:09.400 --> 0:43:11.560
<v Speaker 1>this made this person who they are and I love

0:43:11.640 --> 0:43:15.600
<v Speaker 1>that person. So what about what about current deal deal breakers?

0:43:15.640 --> 0:43:19.279
<v Speaker 1>Like you're looking at somebody's past, is like, there's no

0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:21.680
<v Speaker 1>deal breaker and somebody's past, but what about a current

0:43:21.800 --> 0:43:26.080
<v Speaker 1>deal breaker? You know, like if this person, like for me, honestly,

0:43:26.120 --> 0:43:27.839
<v Speaker 1>like I don't think I could be with somebody who

0:43:27.840 --> 0:43:30.440
<v Speaker 1>smoked cigarettes. I think for me that would be a

0:43:30.440 --> 0:43:33.759
<v Speaker 1>deal breaker, Like that would be very difficult for me.

0:43:33.920 --> 0:43:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't be with someone that's rude to other people. Yeah,

0:43:37.520 --> 0:43:42.680
<v Speaker 1>So how how so to Ellie's second question, Uh, she

0:43:42.719 --> 0:43:45.160
<v Speaker 1>wants to know if if you should lay out the

0:43:45.160 --> 0:43:47.919
<v Speaker 1>deal breakers from the onset when you've just met someone

0:43:47.920 --> 0:43:50.680
<v Speaker 1>and are interested as opposed to waiting un till you've

0:43:50.680 --> 0:43:52.480
<v Speaker 1>won them over and now saying oh, by the way,

0:43:52.800 --> 0:43:55.680
<v Speaker 1>we're good. I want you to change all these things

0:43:55.760 --> 0:43:59.560
<v Speaker 1>from a man's perspective, which one from my perspective, I

0:43:59.600 --> 0:44:01.880
<v Speaker 1>feel you can't do either one, Like what are you

0:44:01.920 --> 0:44:04.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna sit down on the first date and be like, okay, here,

0:44:04.239 --> 0:44:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I can't You can't smoke, you can't drink, you can't drive.

0:44:07.040 --> 0:44:09.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, people do, and I think it's crazy, And

0:44:09.480 --> 0:44:11.279
<v Speaker 1>I think those are the ones that are still sort

0:44:11.320 --> 0:44:19.000
<v Speaker 1>of alone perhaps. But I feel also that if you're

0:44:19.120 --> 0:44:22.560
<v Speaker 1>going through these kind of together, like you know, you're

0:44:23.280 --> 0:44:25.959
<v Speaker 1>you get to learn that person in their experience in life,

0:44:26.000 --> 0:44:28.080
<v Speaker 1>then when should she do it. She should do it

0:44:28.160 --> 0:44:31.279
<v Speaker 1>as she's going through and understanding who that person is,

0:44:31.719 --> 0:44:33.759
<v Speaker 1>and then in her own mind she's either making up

0:44:33.800 --> 0:44:35.960
<v Speaker 1>those or bringing those to the table and having the

0:44:35.960 --> 0:44:38.120
<v Speaker 1>discussion with that person saying, hey, you know what, I

0:44:38.200 --> 0:44:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I really love you. You're awesome. You know all the

0:44:41.600 --> 0:44:44.160
<v Speaker 1>time we spend, but you know, I wish is there

0:44:44.160 --> 0:44:46.720
<v Speaker 1>any way you can kind of stop smoking or whatever

0:44:46.719 --> 0:44:50.600
<v Speaker 1>that may be. I think you're right, so so a

0:44:50.719 --> 0:44:55.920
<v Speaker 1>very close friend of mine has cancer. It's in essentially remission.

0:44:56.000 --> 0:44:58.000
<v Speaker 1>That would be like how you could say it, but

0:44:58.440 --> 0:45:03.120
<v Speaker 1>it's still there. So she debates when she's dating someone new,

0:45:03.719 --> 0:45:06.879
<v Speaker 1>at what point do I tell them? And I don't

0:45:06.880 --> 0:45:09.680
<v Speaker 1>feel like she needs to tell them the first date.

0:45:09.719 --> 0:45:11.120
<v Speaker 1>It's like you don't have to say, hi, nice to

0:45:11.120 --> 0:45:12.719
<v Speaker 1>meet you. By the way, I have cancer and it

0:45:12.760 --> 0:45:16.319
<v Speaker 1>could come back. But as it gets more serious, then

0:45:16.400 --> 0:45:19.680
<v Speaker 1>I do think she does need to tell them. Putting

0:45:19.680 --> 0:45:21.759
<v Speaker 1>myself in that in those shoes, if I was a

0:45:21.800 --> 0:45:25.200
<v Speaker 1>gentleman on that date with her, I think you're right, Amy,

0:45:25.239 --> 0:45:26.799
<v Speaker 1>because I think if it was told to me on

0:45:26.840 --> 0:45:29.680
<v Speaker 1>the first date, I might be a little startled and

0:45:29.760 --> 0:45:32.680
<v Speaker 1>jarred by it. But as I got to know this person,

0:45:32.719 --> 0:45:35.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe on a second date or a third date, that

0:45:35.320 --> 0:45:38.480
<v Speaker 1>that might soften a little because I know her personality

0:45:38.520 --> 0:45:42.480
<v Speaker 1>and have developed somewhat of a compassion as a human

0:45:42.520 --> 0:45:44.560
<v Speaker 1>for her, not not with her situation, but just as

0:45:44.600 --> 0:45:47.160
<v Speaker 1>a human, and then it would be like, okay, can

0:45:47.200 --> 0:45:49.680
<v Speaker 1>you tell me more? That it wouldn't be so I

0:45:49.719 --> 0:45:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I think, I yeah, no, that's a great point. I mean,

0:45:53.280 --> 0:45:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I think you need to learn getting the information up

0:45:56.480 --> 0:45:59.319
<v Speaker 1>front could be a bit startling. Or or you know

0:46:00.040 --> 0:46:03.560
<v Speaker 1>whatever you want to starling, but like and then you're

0:46:03.600 --> 0:46:06.080
<v Speaker 1>not looking at the cancer. You're looking at that person,

0:46:06.400 --> 0:46:08.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, and do you want to know who that

0:46:08.040 --> 0:46:10.400
<v Speaker 1>person is? Is she or he great to go on

0:46:10.440 --> 0:46:12.680
<v Speaker 1>walks with? Or do they like to go out to

0:46:12.719 --> 0:46:14.920
<v Speaker 1>dinners or whatever? You know, Like, you're not trying to

0:46:15.040 --> 0:46:17.160
<v Speaker 1>date the person that has cancer. I feel like you're

0:46:17.200 --> 0:46:19.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out who that person is and then

0:46:19.120 --> 0:46:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and then understand what where to go with it after that?

0:46:22.280 --> 0:46:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Well said, Okay, another one from Mary Beth. I'm excited

0:46:27.000 --> 0:46:28.480
<v Speaker 1>for this one. I'm going to direct this one to

0:46:28.600 --> 0:46:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Mr Gavin DeGraw. What constitutes high maintenance with regards to

0:46:37.120 --> 0:46:45.600
<v Speaker 1>women putting on your makeup on your way to the gym? Oh? Wow? Okay?

0:46:45.640 --> 0:46:48.239
<v Speaker 1>Anything else? What else? I feel like there's more there?

0:46:48.239 --> 0:46:51.120
<v Speaker 1>What else he got? What constitutes high maintenance? There's a

0:46:51.120 --> 0:46:53.719
<v Speaker 1>lot of versions of high maintenance, so give them to us.

0:46:55.040 --> 0:46:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, here's a difficult one. You ever go shopping

0:46:58.320 --> 0:47:02.319
<v Speaker 1>with your girl, not just your shopping, but like not

0:47:02.400 --> 0:47:06.680
<v Speaker 1>just take your shopping, but like you know, shopping shopping, shopping,

0:47:07.000 --> 0:47:10.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, like where they're trying on clothes and and

0:47:10.560 --> 0:47:14.080
<v Speaker 1>you're you're sitting in the women's department just looking like

0:47:14.120 --> 0:47:19.640
<v Speaker 1>a weirdo, like walking around picking out They're asking you,

0:47:19.800 --> 0:47:21.960
<v Speaker 1>how does this look? You're like, man, come on, can't

0:47:21.960 --> 0:47:24.040
<v Speaker 1>you just like, can't you just do that at the house?

0:47:24.920 --> 0:47:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I gotta sit around here. I'm the guy sitting outside

0:47:27.239 --> 0:47:30.080
<v Speaker 1>the dressing room of the girls, you know what I mean?

0:47:30.600 --> 0:47:33.240
<v Speaker 1>And then you'll make yourself busy. You go walking around

0:47:33.320 --> 0:47:37.040
<v Speaker 1>the women's clothes and now they're like, oh, man, gave

0:47:37.080 --> 0:47:42.160
<v Speaker 1>them de grass trying on some women's clothes now, so

0:47:42.239 --> 0:47:46.960
<v Speaker 1>where you go. I'm just saying how it affects me,

0:47:47.800 --> 0:47:50.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, because they're they're asking you to be there,

0:47:50.200 --> 0:47:53.440
<v Speaker 1>be there, present, be not to be there present, to

0:47:53.520 --> 0:47:58.920
<v Speaker 1>be present during certain things that you don't necessarily you

0:47:58.920 --> 0:48:02.880
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't be privy to that process in my opinion, and

0:48:02.920 --> 0:48:05.640
<v Speaker 1>that's a high maintenance thing in my opinion. To expect

0:48:05.680 --> 0:48:11.440
<v Speaker 1>the guy to sit outside the dressing room super uncomfortable.

0:48:11.440 --> 0:48:14.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't even get it, because why would a girl

0:48:14.640 --> 0:48:16.399
<v Speaker 1>want to try on clothes in front of their guy?

0:48:16.480 --> 0:48:18.359
<v Speaker 1>Like the whole point is we want to try it on,

0:48:18.600 --> 0:48:20.480
<v Speaker 1>get it, and then surprise you with it later. Like

0:48:20.520 --> 0:48:27.680
<v Speaker 1>this doesn't even make sense at all, Go ahead and

0:48:27.680 --> 0:48:29.920
<v Speaker 1>get in, let's have it. Sure, I'm high maintenance if

0:48:29.960 --> 0:48:34.120
<v Speaker 1>that's what you're defining, but no, I want my husband look,

0:48:34.400 --> 0:48:36.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, seeing me try on clothes, so I know

0:48:36.560 --> 0:48:39.120
<v Speaker 1>it's what he likes. There you go, I totally agree

0:48:39.120 --> 0:48:42.200
<v Speaker 1>with you. I think it's I mean, I think to

0:48:42.360 --> 0:48:46.840
<v Speaker 1>some degree in that processes tough. Well, Gavin. In most stories,

0:48:46.880 --> 0:48:49.960
<v Speaker 1>they have a little seating lounge area that you can

0:48:50.000 --> 0:48:51.800
<v Speaker 1>go and kind of hang out and sit on your phone.

0:48:51.960 --> 0:48:54.480
<v Speaker 1>It seems to be somewhat close to the changing room

0:48:54.560 --> 0:48:57.640
<v Speaker 1>or the try on room. But I do like it.

0:48:57.800 --> 0:49:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm not gonna go I going shopping with my wife.

0:49:01.560 --> 0:49:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to go and pick out clothes that

0:49:03.440 --> 0:49:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I want her to try on or wear. Like I

0:49:05.080 --> 0:49:09.120
<v Speaker 1>think that's creepy and high maintenance. Yes, but I do

0:49:09.280 --> 0:49:11.560
<v Speaker 1>think there is some level that Danielle is talking about,

0:49:11.560 --> 0:49:13.160
<v Speaker 1>like when you come out of the dressing room and

0:49:13.400 --> 0:49:15.319
<v Speaker 1>less so on Amy, Like it's not a surprise where

0:49:15.360 --> 0:49:17.080
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna go put it on later, like I got

0:49:17.080 --> 0:49:19.479
<v Speaker 1>these black jeans. You know, it's more of like, hey,

0:49:19.800 --> 0:49:24.040
<v Speaker 1>do you like you're having that? It's almost like, uh,

0:49:24.080 --> 0:49:25.759
<v Speaker 1>you're at a restaurant you're having dinner, like do you

0:49:25.800 --> 0:49:27.400
<v Speaker 1>like the scallops? You know, it's like, hey, do you

0:49:27.440 --> 0:49:29.440
<v Speaker 1>like the black jeans? Do you like these jeans on me?

0:49:29.480 --> 0:49:31.560
<v Speaker 1>And you're like you're sitting there and you're like, hey, yeah,

0:49:31.680 --> 0:49:34.040
<v Speaker 1>they look great. Look how fancy you guys? You guys

0:49:34.080 --> 0:49:37.000
<v Speaker 1>still have time to go to the mall. We have clothes,

0:49:37.840 --> 0:49:40.440
<v Speaker 1>like whatever it is delivered. She tries it on there,

0:49:40.560 --> 0:49:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I tried on, what are you think about? And if nan,

0:49:42.080 --> 0:49:46.160
<v Speaker 1>it goes back in the box that I agree with

0:49:46.200 --> 0:49:51.319
<v Speaker 1>you back to kind of like got the person. Then

0:49:51.600 --> 0:49:53.720
<v Speaker 1>we're trying to stay on topic of what's high maintenance

0:49:53.719 --> 0:49:56.120
<v Speaker 1>for a woman? Okay, what high maintenance for me is

0:49:56.160 --> 0:49:59.040
<v Speaker 1>someone that has a some sort of like a deal

0:49:59.040 --> 0:50:01.080
<v Speaker 1>breaker as to what they will or will not do. Hey,

0:50:01.120 --> 0:50:02.880
<v Speaker 1>we're going to this party. Oh I'm not going there

0:50:02.920 --> 0:50:04.920
<v Speaker 1>because it's so far away. Hey we're going to this party?

0:50:05.040 --> 0:50:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Is so and so gonna be there? Someone that there's like,

0:50:07.400 --> 0:50:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna do something because of one thing. It's

0:50:09.480 --> 0:50:12.440
<v Speaker 1>like to me, that's super high maintenance. I'm not going

0:50:12.480 --> 0:50:14.359
<v Speaker 1>to go there because it's you know, it's too far

0:50:14.360 --> 0:50:16.680
<v Speaker 1>away whatever it is. And it's like for me. You

0:50:16.719 --> 0:50:18.239
<v Speaker 1>gotta be I think you gotta be flexible, and you

0:50:18.239 --> 0:50:19.759
<v Speaker 1>gotta be like, listen, let's go check it out. If

0:50:19.760 --> 0:50:21.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not good, we leave. But when you're like, I

0:50:21.520 --> 0:50:25.560
<v Speaker 1>won't do something because of this, I think that's high maintenance.

0:50:25.840 --> 0:50:28.719
<v Speaker 1>I think it's like when the list of things that

0:50:28.800 --> 0:50:31.920
<v Speaker 1>they need to do something to Demetri's point or to

0:50:31.960 --> 0:50:36.560
<v Speaker 1>make them happy becomes so cumbersome and becomes a chore

0:50:36.760 --> 0:50:40.319
<v Speaker 1>for me to have to run through this checklist of

0:50:40.360 --> 0:50:44.879
<v Speaker 1>things to make them happy. It's high maintenance. Like that's

0:50:44.920 --> 0:50:46.520
<v Speaker 1>the most concise way I could put it, which is

0:50:46.520 --> 0:50:48.319
<v Speaker 1>funny because I feel I can correct me if I'm wrong.

0:50:48.360 --> 0:50:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you're probably more high maintenance than your wife.

0:50:50.680 --> 0:50:53.719
<v Speaker 1>I have been dubbed the metro sexual high maintenance gut

0:50:53.760 --> 0:50:57.600
<v Speaker 1>in this podcast. Like it's very not my accident. Ex

0:50:58.080 --> 0:51:00.520
<v Speaker 1>thank you. I mean, I guess I'm I'm maintenance because

0:51:00.520 --> 0:51:02.640
<v Speaker 1>I wear You're the only one that was comfortable during

0:51:02.680 --> 0:51:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the photo shoot when we had to do individual photos.

0:51:04.560 --> 0:51:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Everyone else was uncomfortable. I don't want to do this.

0:51:06.360 --> 0:51:10.200
<v Speaker 1>You got up there like it was blown those clowns. Man.

0:51:10.480 --> 0:51:12.840
<v Speaker 1>I know that I know that he's not high maintenance

0:51:13.080 --> 0:51:17.880
<v Speaker 1>because we met up in London and we were walking

0:51:17.920 --> 0:51:20.840
<v Speaker 1>around London. We met up, we had lunch, and he

0:51:20.840 --> 0:51:22.799
<v Speaker 1>didn't say, I'm going to hop a car back to

0:51:23.000 --> 0:51:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the hotel. I'm not gonna get a ride. I'm not

0:51:26.040 --> 0:51:29.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna get it uber. He walked how many miles did

0:51:29.200 --> 0:51:32.000
<v Speaker 1>you walk back? It was six miles, good, six miles

0:51:32.200 --> 0:51:36.360
<v Speaker 1>with me through the park. He texted me beforehand, but

0:51:36.400 --> 0:51:38.879
<v Speaker 1>he Evan's deal Breakers and I said he likes people

0:51:38.880 --> 0:51:42.959
<v Speaker 1>who walk, and so he was like, I said, that's it, okay,

0:51:42.960 --> 0:51:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna give you mine. High maintenance for me is

0:51:46.200 --> 0:51:49.279
<v Speaker 1>somebody that points out something that they don't like, but

0:51:49.400 --> 0:51:53.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll not do something about it. Oh I don't Oh

0:51:53.120 --> 0:51:55.319
<v Speaker 1>that is so dirty or something clean the damn thing,

0:51:55.800 --> 0:51:58.040
<v Speaker 1>or like this is that is so bad, We'll do

0:51:58.120 --> 0:52:00.360
<v Speaker 1>something about it. And then if they don't. Sobody that

0:52:00.440 --> 0:52:04.279
<v Speaker 1>is pointing out noticeably bringing attention to something that they

0:52:04.360 --> 0:52:06.920
<v Speaker 1>do not like, bringing it to your attention is not

0:52:07.080 --> 0:52:10.960
<v Speaker 1>willing to do something about that. To me, that is

0:52:11.000 --> 0:52:14.960
<v Speaker 1>a very maintenance. And did you categorize that sorry? Like

0:52:15.120 --> 0:52:17.960
<v Speaker 1>as as asking questions of like, hey, so how are

0:52:17.960 --> 0:52:19.920
<v Speaker 1>we going to get there? And what table were we

0:52:19.960 --> 0:52:21.719
<v Speaker 1>going to sit at and what do you want to

0:52:21.719 --> 0:52:29.200
<v Speaker 1>do afterwards? And uh for high maintenance, Yeah, go with you.

0:52:29.960 --> 0:52:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Here's the reason I bring it up is I have

0:52:31.280 --> 0:52:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I have friends, like guy friends that are we go

0:52:33.719 --> 0:52:35.680
<v Speaker 1>fishing where they're like, hey, well what fight are we on?

0:52:35.880 --> 0:52:37.200
<v Speaker 1>And then what time is the car going to come

0:52:37.200 --> 0:52:38.600
<v Speaker 1>pick us up? And then what time are we going

0:52:38.680 --> 0:52:40.440
<v Speaker 1>to get on that other fight? And then what time

0:52:40.440 --> 0:52:43.400
<v Speaker 1>are we gonna fish? And what's for breakfast? And you're like, dudes,

0:52:43.520 --> 0:52:46.440
<v Speaker 1>to take a seat, bro, Like, yeah, I get you,

0:52:46.680 --> 0:52:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I love it, So we're not coming next time. So

0:52:49.239 --> 0:52:51.319
<v Speaker 1>getting back to what you said, Brooks, you said when

0:52:51.320 --> 0:52:53.799
<v Speaker 1>people point out something that they don't like but won't

0:52:53.800 --> 0:52:56.560
<v Speaker 1>do anything about it. Sir, what if it was like

0:52:56.640 --> 0:53:00.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't like the color of that house, Are they

0:53:00.480 --> 0:53:06.240
<v Speaker 1>going to go paint that house? Paint some random details,

0:53:06.239 --> 0:53:09.400
<v Speaker 1>just painting somebody else's out? The hell are you doing?

0:53:09.840 --> 0:53:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Don't like the color of that house? Did something about it? Okay? Okay,

0:53:13.719 --> 0:53:18.440
<v Speaker 1>here we go from k what are your real thoughts

0:53:18.800 --> 0:53:21.640
<v Speaker 1>on strip clubs? My fiance is going on his bachelor

0:53:21.680 --> 0:53:23.239
<v Speaker 1>party in a few weeks and I told him I

0:53:23.280 --> 0:53:27.040
<v Speaker 1>really don't feel comfortable. Am I being crazy. How would

0:53:27.040 --> 0:53:29.880
<v Speaker 1>you feel if your fiance asked you not to go

0:53:30.000 --> 0:53:32.840
<v Speaker 1>to the strip club? Rick, I have a question for K.

0:53:33.200 --> 0:53:36.279
<v Speaker 1>Are we talking about female strip clubs or male strip

0:53:37.080 --> 0:53:40.720
<v Speaker 1>good question. Let's assume she's talking about you're her fiance,

0:53:40.880 --> 0:53:43.200
<v Speaker 1>You're go your bachelor parties, and and you're going to

0:53:43.280 --> 0:53:46.799
<v Speaker 1>go to a female strip club. Okay, Um, that's a

0:53:46.840 --> 0:53:52.080
<v Speaker 1>great question. To be honest, I don't know if I

0:53:52.080 --> 0:53:54.319
<v Speaker 1>would even bring it up with him, because at that

0:53:54.360 --> 0:53:57.040
<v Speaker 1>point I look at that as that's something that Ka

0:53:57.239 --> 0:54:00.480
<v Speaker 1>needs to deal with. He's gonna go regardless or not.

0:54:01.040 --> 0:54:03.080
<v Speaker 1>If she says it a thousand times or one time,

0:54:03.080 --> 0:54:05.399
<v Speaker 1>Hey honey, don't go to the strip club. He's gonna

0:54:05.400 --> 0:54:07.279
<v Speaker 1>go if he's with his buddies, or he's gonna say, hey,

0:54:07.400 --> 0:54:09.560
<v Speaker 1>you know what, guys, we're gonna go do another activity

0:54:09.600 --> 0:54:12.200
<v Speaker 1>instead of that, or that's what he's doing. I feel

0:54:12.200 --> 0:54:15.600
<v Speaker 1>like it's more of K's issue. She needs to say it,

0:54:16.080 --> 0:54:19.279
<v Speaker 1>and then she needs to kind of not get over it,

0:54:19.320 --> 0:54:22.759
<v Speaker 1>but just understand that he can do the same thing

0:54:22.800 --> 0:54:25.080
<v Speaker 1>if he flies down to Los Angeles or goes to

0:54:25.160 --> 0:54:27.160
<v Speaker 1>a not a strip club. He can go to a

0:54:27.200 --> 0:54:29.360
<v Speaker 1>hotel bar and and get in more trouble at a

0:54:29.400 --> 0:54:31.439
<v Speaker 1>hotel bar than you can at a trip club, let's

0:54:31.440 --> 0:54:35.440
<v Speaker 1>be honest. So I feel like k needs to understand

0:54:35.480 --> 0:54:40.040
<v Speaker 1>that what she says may not necessarily it's affect him,

0:54:40.080 --> 0:54:42.760
<v Speaker 1>it's about how she feels about it. Well to that point,

0:54:42.800 --> 0:54:45.640
<v Speaker 1>there's there's different types of people to go to strip clubs,

0:54:46.000 --> 0:54:48.279
<v Speaker 1>and you think, if she's engaged to him, then she

0:54:48.320 --> 0:54:51.399
<v Speaker 1>should know what type of person he has listened. I've

0:54:51.440 --> 0:54:54.800
<v Speaker 1>been to strip clubs because and I don't go, I

0:54:54.840 --> 0:54:57.200
<v Speaker 1>don't go by myself, but I've gone like bachelor parties

0:54:57.200 --> 0:54:59.480
<v Speaker 1>like this, and it's like I find it more comical

0:54:59.560 --> 0:55:02.239
<v Speaker 1>to go and watch it and have a good time

0:55:02.280 --> 0:55:05.680
<v Speaker 1>with the guys or whatever, and it's less about the show.

0:55:06.000 --> 0:55:09.200
<v Speaker 1>And for while I'm on these bachelor parties, there are

0:55:09.239 --> 0:55:12.319
<v Speaker 1>guys that disappear for thirty minutes to a private room

0:55:12.560 --> 0:55:14.759
<v Speaker 1>and get a private lap dance or whatever. And to me,

0:55:15.280 --> 0:55:17.799
<v Speaker 1>that's where you're that's where the difference is here. If

0:55:17.880 --> 0:55:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Kay's fiance is going there because he's one of the

0:55:21.000 --> 0:55:22.520
<v Speaker 1>guys and this is what the guys are doing for

0:55:22.560 --> 0:55:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the thing, then let him you know if she's if

0:55:26.080 --> 0:55:28.120
<v Speaker 1>she's engaged to him. She's gotta have some level of

0:55:28.120 --> 0:55:30.160
<v Speaker 1>trust with him, and she should say listen, I don't

0:55:30.160 --> 0:55:32.880
<v Speaker 1>mind you going, but you know, i'd really like it

0:55:32.920 --> 0:55:35.120
<v Speaker 1>if you didn't partake on that thing, because whatever it's

0:55:35.160 --> 0:55:37.759
<v Speaker 1>demeaning to women, I think it's gross. Whatever her reasoning is,

0:55:38.160 --> 0:55:40.239
<v Speaker 1>I think she can share that, but I think to

0:55:40.360 --> 0:55:43.960
<v Speaker 1>stop him from from, you know, going, because it sounds

0:55:44.040 --> 0:55:46.719
<v Speaker 1>if that's the point, then it's more of a trust issue. Yeah,

0:55:46.760 --> 0:55:48.759
<v Speaker 1>I think that's exactly right. It comes down to do

0:55:48.840 --> 0:55:52.080
<v Speaker 1>you just k K do you trust your fiance? And

0:55:52.080 --> 0:55:56.360
<v Speaker 1>if you have a trust, then it becomes off putting

0:55:56.360 --> 0:55:58.920
<v Speaker 1>if you if your fiance feels like you're trying to

0:55:58.920 --> 0:56:01.759
<v Speaker 1>control him, and so long as you trust him and

0:56:01.800 --> 0:56:04.799
<v Speaker 1>you believe he's gonna make the right decisions, it's And

0:56:04.840 --> 0:56:06.719
<v Speaker 1>I've been in the situation before where I have my

0:56:06.760 --> 0:56:08.360
<v Speaker 1>buddies and will go to Vegas and we'll go to

0:56:08.400 --> 0:56:11.279
<v Speaker 1>a strip club and all the guys get together and

0:56:11.600 --> 0:56:14.320
<v Speaker 1>there's three guys who are like, look, our wives all talk.

0:56:14.520 --> 0:56:17.200
<v Speaker 1>So we went to the pool today, then we went

0:56:17.239 --> 0:56:19.200
<v Speaker 1>to top Golf, and then we went to circ to

0:56:19.280 --> 0:56:22.200
<v Speaker 1>sol Okay, are we all clear? If anybody talks that

0:56:22.320 --> 0:56:25.680
<v Speaker 1>was what we did. I that stresses me out because

0:56:25.719 --> 0:56:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I do not want to lie to my wife. I'd

0:56:27.719 --> 0:56:30.600
<v Speaker 1>rather just be completely honest because when when I begin

0:56:30.719 --> 0:56:34.560
<v Speaker 1>lying about that, it is as if I did something wrong.

0:56:34.640 --> 0:56:36.080
<v Speaker 1>And if I can just be open and honest and

0:56:36.120 --> 0:56:38.120
<v Speaker 1>say like, yeah, we went to the strip club and

0:56:38.160 --> 0:56:39.600
<v Speaker 1>we were there for an hour and a half and

0:56:40.360 --> 0:56:43.320
<v Speaker 1>it was what it was, nothing happened, nobody did anything stupid.

0:56:44.480 --> 0:56:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Why do I have to hide that? And my friends

0:56:46.400 --> 0:56:49.560
<v Speaker 1>lose their mind at that. Gavin is looking at me

0:56:49.680 --> 0:56:54.080
<v Speaker 1>like go ahead, I'm just saying I only go for

0:56:54.120 --> 0:57:02.120
<v Speaker 1>the delicious buffet's Uh. I mean, I mean I've been.

0:57:02.160 --> 0:57:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I've been to those places, man, and I typically don't

0:57:05.719 --> 0:57:09.480
<v Speaker 1>really enjoy myself. Strip clubs are I get it for.

0:57:09.640 --> 0:57:10.719
<v Speaker 1>It's a bit of a hoot, you know if you

0:57:10.800 --> 0:57:15.040
<v Speaker 1>go with your boys and whatever and typically a few

0:57:15.040 --> 0:57:17.240
<v Speaker 1>minutes and you're like, cool, we just did that, let's

0:57:18.400 --> 0:57:22.160
<v Speaker 1>let's roll. But there's always like there's always the the

0:57:22.240 --> 0:57:25.040
<v Speaker 1>other stuff going on where you gotta pull your boy out,

0:57:25.480 --> 0:57:28.840
<v Speaker 1>like it's go can we go out? You know, and

0:57:28.880 --> 0:57:31.880
<v Speaker 1>there's always like, you know, some shipper named Lexus or

0:57:31.920 --> 0:57:35.880
<v Speaker 1>whatever who's just like getting too close, you know. So

0:57:36.160 --> 0:57:38.520
<v Speaker 1>uh yeah, I just I don't. I don't really love

0:57:38.840 --> 0:57:44.520
<v Speaker 1>ship clubs. Um, they're not my favorite. Um And although

0:57:44.520 --> 0:57:46.720
<v Speaker 1>I did go one time. Uh, and we had my

0:57:46.800 --> 0:57:49.880
<v Speaker 1>brother's dog with us, and he's a little French bulldog

0:57:50.000 --> 0:57:55.720
<v Speaker 1>and of course, you know, our buddy put put tip

0:57:55.800 --> 0:57:58.320
<v Speaker 1>money in his collar and he'd walk up, you know,

0:57:58.560 --> 0:58:01.200
<v Speaker 1>the colonel would jog up on stage and you know,

0:58:01.320 --> 0:58:03.880
<v Speaker 1>the girls like, oh, he's so cute, you know, And

0:58:03.960 --> 0:58:06.600
<v Speaker 1>that was pretty funny bringing the dog. Now that that

0:58:06.680 --> 0:58:09.480
<v Speaker 1>was that was the highlight of that whole element though.

0:58:09.560 --> 0:58:12.040
<v Speaker 1>That was the top for me. Um. But I'm not

0:58:12.080 --> 0:58:15.160
<v Speaker 1>a real fan of the environment typically speaking, because it

0:58:15.200 --> 0:58:20.720
<v Speaker 1>seems in general they're they're so in general, there's such

0:58:20.760 --> 0:58:24.760
<v Speaker 1>a desperate sensation when you walk into the place, you know,

0:58:25.160 --> 0:58:29.240
<v Speaker 1>and it's a bit overwhelming, and uh it's just like

0:58:30.680 --> 0:58:34.960
<v Speaker 1>it's just gross. So it's just too too heavy, the

0:58:35.000 --> 0:58:37.160
<v Speaker 1>desperation in the air and a lot of that in

0:58:37.200 --> 0:58:39.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of those places. I do get it for

0:58:40.000 --> 0:58:45.200
<v Speaker 1>fifteen minutes with your boys, because it's more like it's nutty,

0:58:45.280 --> 0:58:47.280
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy in here, look at this scene. But then

0:58:47.320 --> 0:58:49.200
<v Speaker 1>it's sort of like, all right, cool, I'm can we

0:58:49.200 --> 0:58:51.520
<v Speaker 1>get out of here, now, you know what I mean?

0:58:51.760 --> 0:58:54.240
<v Speaker 1>And my the best time I ever had in a

0:58:54.280 --> 0:58:56.560
<v Speaker 1>strip club was that type of situation. I went in

0:58:56.640 --> 0:58:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and I just you know, I laughed whatever it was

0:58:58.880 --> 0:59:01.600
<v Speaker 1>for the guy that was married whatnot. But at the

0:59:01.600 --> 0:59:04.280
<v Speaker 1>table next to me, whatever next to us was. It

0:59:04.320 --> 0:59:07.840
<v Speaker 1>was like a cocktail setting and the guy had ordered

0:59:07.880 --> 0:59:10.840
<v Speaker 1>he was by himself. He ordered this expensive bottle of

0:59:10.840 --> 0:59:14.320
<v Speaker 1>scotch and then he proceeded to pass out at the table.

0:59:15.320 --> 0:59:18.560
<v Speaker 1>So we just kept filling our glasses with his expensive

0:59:18.560 --> 0:59:24.520
<v Speaker 1>bottle of scotch. And well, we asked the We did

0:59:24.600 --> 0:59:26.400
<v Speaker 1>ask the waitress, and she was like, he comes in

0:59:26.440 --> 0:59:28.200
<v Speaker 1>here all the time, he has so much money whatever.

0:59:28.640 --> 0:59:30.800
<v Speaker 1>So she basically gave the green light. So we had

0:59:30.840 --> 0:59:32.600
<v Speaker 1>a couple of the nice glass of scotch and got

0:59:32.600 --> 0:59:34.520
<v Speaker 1>out of there. Okay, so let's go back to Kay's

0:59:34.560 --> 0:59:36.440
<v Speaker 1>final part of her question. How would you feel if

0:59:36.440 --> 0:59:40.400
<v Speaker 1>your fiance or wife gentleman asked you not to go?

0:59:40.760 --> 0:59:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Real quick, how would you feel, Rick, if your wife

0:59:42.800 --> 0:59:45.760
<v Speaker 1>asked you not to go on your buddies or your

0:59:45.800 --> 0:59:49.520
<v Speaker 1>bachelor I would take her her point and and then

0:59:49.680 --> 0:59:51.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, obviously have that in the back of my mind.

0:59:51.480 --> 0:59:54.480
<v Speaker 1>But again, I I feel like it's more about k

0:59:54.680 --> 0:59:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and less about the guy Dmitri. Yeah, I would. I

0:59:59.280 --> 1:00:01.120
<v Speaker 1>would be disappoin in it because I would feel like

1:00:01.480 --> 1:00:05.920
<v Speaker 1>she thought something could go wrong. Yeah, Bryan, I would say.

1:00:06.000 --> 1:00:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I would say, I I hear you, I understand you

1:00:09.320 --> 1:00:11.280
<v Speaker 1>don't want me to go. But I would still feel

1:00:11.280 --> 1:00:13.440
<v Speaker 1>like I make my own decision whether I choose to

1:00:13.600 --> 1:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>or not. But um, I would listen to her and

1:00:16.000 --> 1:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>then make my own decision. Let me ask you, So

1:00:18.680 --> 1:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>you on the road for hockey? Was that a common

1:00:22.080 --> 1:00:24.439
<v Speaker 1>thing and how often was that happen? Actually, probably more

1:00:24.600 --> 1:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>uncommon than people actually realize. In my entire life, I've

1:00:30.120 --> 1:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe been in six strip clubs, like very little. I

1:00:35.000 --> 1:00:38.400
<v Speaker 1>really don't enjoy the experience that much. Eighteen dollar drinks.

1:00:38.440 --> 1:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>First time I was every in one was in New York.

1:00:40.120 --> 1:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I was twenty years old and I was making Prior

1:00:42.600 --> 1:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>to this, I just got my first professional paycheck. Prior

1:00:45.400 --> 1:00:48.160
<v Speaker 1>to that, I was making eighty nine bucks every two weeks.

1:00:48.680 --> 1:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>And my buddy and I went into this strip club

1:00:51.200 --> 1:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>and we sat down and ordered two drinks from this waitress,

1:00:55.640 --> 1:00:58.880
<v Speaker 1>and it was like fifty two dollars and I was like,

1:00:59.080 --> 1:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>what am I doing here? Like? What am I doing? So?

1:01:03.440 --> 1:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>But that being said, I want to make my own

1:01:05.200 --> 1:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>decisions whether I go or not. Um, but I would

1:01:07.760 --> 1:01:09.600
<v Speaker 1>listen to what my wife had to say. But I

1:01:09.600 --> 1:01:12.040
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't if she told me not to go. That would

1:01:12.080 --> 1:01:13.919
<v Speaker 1>probably cause an issue. I'll say what we should tell

1:01:14.040 --> 1:01:16.800
<v Speaker 1>her if she ever says not to go, say but

1:01:16.960 --> 1:01:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Gavin's dancing tonight. And then she said, last question of

1:01:24.640 --> 1:01:28.960
<v Speaker 1>the day is from Veronica? What makes a girl one

1:01:29.000 --> 1:01:30.440
<v Speaker 1>of the guys? Can I lead with us? Can I

1:01:30.480 --> 1:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>answer this one? Don't try and be one of the guys.

1:01:33.520 --> 1:01:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't. I do not want my wife

1:01:36.160 --> 1:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>to be one of the guys. I spent my life

1:01:38.880 --> 1:01:42.280
<v Speaker 1>in a locker room full of twenty three dudes. I

1:01:42.320 --> 1:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>was not looking for another dude in my life. So

1:01:46.240 --> 1:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I love that my wife knows nothing about sports and

1:01:49.160 --> 1:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>that when I went home from the rank that it

1:01:50.720 --> 1:01:53.480
<v Speaker 1>was completely different. My advice do not try and be

1:01:53.520 --> 1:01:56.560
<v Speaker 1>one of the guys. Can I interject real quick if

1:01:56.720 --> 1:02:00.240
<v Speaker 1>you're fiance, wife, girlfriend, whatever. At the time, I was like, Hey,

1:02:00.280 --> 1:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I know you're going to about your party. It's totally

1:02:02.040 --> 1:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>cool to go to a strip club, I don't care.

1:02:04.560 --> 1:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Like to me, I would say that's awesome, Like then

1:02:07.880 --> 1:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't have to have that stress of hers saying

1:02:11.640 --> 1:02:13.360
<v Speaker 1>don't go to the strip club. To kind of go

1:02:13.480 --> 1:02:16.120
<v Speaker 1>back to another question that we were answering, like to me,

1:02:16.240 --> 1:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of being one of the dudes of like, hey, yeah,

1:02:19.280 --> 1:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I trust you. I know it's more of a trust thing,

1:02:21.360 --> 1:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>but like go ahead, like I'd be like cool, Okay, gentlemen,

1:02:26.560 --> 1:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>do you think a girl man? Do you think a

1:02:28.280 --> 1:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>girl should be one of the guys? Uh? Not if

1:02:32.360 --> 1:02:34.640
<v Speaker 1>she wants not if she wants to date me. I mean,

1:02:34.640 --> 1:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>that's not what I'm into, you know. So, um, I

1:02:37.640 --> 1:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>do understand tomboy element, you know, tomboy type girls. You know,

1:02:42.200 --> 1:02:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I have hung out with tomboy type girls in the past.

1:02:45.800 --> 1:02:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Depending Um, but I wouldn't say one of the guys,

1:02:51.400 --> 1:02:53.080
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. But there are some girls

1:02:53.160 --> 1:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>who I know who are cool, like some bartender people

1:02:56.440 --> 1:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and and that world, you know what I mean, who

1:02:59.040 --> 1:03:02.720
<v Speaker 1>are just kind of like they've they've just been around

1:03:02.800 --> 1:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>the dating scenes so much that interacting with a man

1:03:05.840 --> 1:03:08.600
<v Speaker 1>is no different than interacting with a woman because they

1:03:08.680 --> 1:03:12.200
<v Speaker 1>just do so much socializing from behind the bar, you know,

1:03:12.200 --> 1:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>when you go into it, into some kind of joint

1:03:14.440 --> 1:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>and there's just this girl behind the bars, like, Hey,

1:03:16.600 --> 1:03:18.240
<v Speaker 1>what's up man? What can I get you? Blah blah

1:03:18.240 --> 1:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>blah blah, and they're just shooting it like that. Do

1:03:20.600 --> 1:03:22.880
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? And so I do understand

1:03:23.040 --> 1:03:25.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of that approach to when a girl is one

1:03:25.120 --> 1:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>of the guys and when you meet women like that,

1:03:27.880 --> 1:03:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I kind of see a girl being kind of like

1:03:30.520 --> 1:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>one of the guys because they're not seeing any gender there.

1:03:33.880 --> 1:03:37.320
<v Speaker 1>There's no boy girl interaction. It's just that's exactly right,

1:03:37.480 --> 1:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. Can you be one of

1:03:39.320 --> 1:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>the guys but have a sexual Are you traction or

1:03:43.880 --> 1:03:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm automatically as being one of the guys in the

1:03:45.960 --> 1:03:49.080
<v Speaker 1>friend zone? Friends, you can be one of the guys

1:03:49.320 --> 1:03:52.120
<v Speaker 1>in the friend zone. Like for me personally, as a guy,

1:03:52.520 --> 1:03:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not you know, I'm not looking for I'm not

1:03:55.360 --> 1:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>looking for the big league chewing. Uh you know, you

1:03:59.840 --> 1:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>know you know what I'm saying. I'm not looking for

1:04:03.160 --> 1:04:06.640
<v Speaker 1>like a woman who dips and spits and um, that's

1:04:06.680 --> 1:04:09.600
<v Speaker 1>just for me personally. You know, you said it a

1:04:09.600 --> 1:04:11.840
<v Speaker 1>few weeks ago when we were talking about do you

1:04:11.880 --> 1:04:17.200
<v Speaker 1>find um face hair on women attractive or unattractive? And

1:04:17.240 --> 1:04:19.840
<v Speaker 1>you said, I want the opposite of my ideal woman

1:04:19.920 --> 1:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>is the opposite complete? So what about what paul acids

1:04:23.840 --> 1:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>sort of a follow up to this? Can you give

1:04:25.400 --> 1:04:27.880
<v Speaker 1>your opinion on women who have male best friends and

1:04:27.920 --> 1:04:30.160
<v Speaker 1>the predicament that this puts them in when they start

1:04:30.200 --> 1:04:33.400
<v Speaker 1>a new relationship and vice versa. I think Rick kind

1:04:33.400 --> 1:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>of started to touch on it, maybe, but so I

1:04:35.760 --> 1:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>don't think that's an issue. I don't either, but some

1:04:38.440 --> 1:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>people do. These guys might or or their significant other

1:04:43.200 --> 1:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>can feel threatened when a man has a very close

1:04:47.160 --> 1:04:50.840
<v Speaker 1>relationship with a woman man, you know. But sorry, I'm

1:04:50.920 --> 1:04:53.520
<v Speaker 1>chiming but I know I'm chiming in. But you know,

1:04:53.600 --> 1:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I've got really really close girlfriends. They're they're just cool.

1:04:56.880 --> 1:05:00.720
<v Speaker 1>You just they're buddies ears, you know. And I used

1:05:00.720 --> 1:05:03.440
<v Speaker 1>to think that there couldn't ever be possibly any element

1:05:03.600 --> 1:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>of a man being just friends with a woman. I

1:05:07.320 --> 1:05:09.480
<v Speaker 1>used to think that. I don't think that any longer.

1:05:09.880 --> 1:05:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I really think that there is a there is a

1:05:13.000 --> 1:05:18.360
<v Speaker 1>place that exists, whatever that spaces in the universe where

1:05:18.400 --> 1:05:20.440
<v Speaker 1>a guy and a girl could be great friends and

1:05:20.720 --> 1:05:26.160
<v Speaker 1>literally literally have zero sexual energy, absolutely none, because I

1:05:26.240 --> 1:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>have that with with girl friends of mine. There's just

1:05:29.000 --> 1:05:31.560
<v Speaker 1>they're just really good friends of mine, you know what

1:05:31.600 --> 1:05:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean. That's something I've loved about moving to l

1:05:34.120 --> 1:05:35.919
<v Speaker 1>A is that's now president in my life. That's something

1:05:35.920 --> 1:05:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I loved about being married is that my friendships with

1:05:38.480 --> 1:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>girls have blossomed and I love I have friends, female

1:05:43.160 --> 1:05:47.480
<v Speaker 1>friends that I absolutely love as friends and cannot wait

1:05:47.520 --> 1:05:50.440
<v Speaker 1>to hang out with. So this, uh, who is the

1:05:50.480 --> 1:05:52.960
<v Speaker 1>person asked us? Paul asked this question? Does she have

1:05:53.040 --> 1:05:55.840
<v Speaker 1>a guy friend? They might just be fantastic friends. So

1:05:56.040 --> 1:05:59.240
<v Speaker 1>you can bet you can be friends and be respectful

1:05:59.280 --> 1:06:02.080
<v Speaker 1>still to your significant other. Now here's a question I

1:06:02.120 --> 1:06:03.880
<v Speaker 1>agree with that you can you can be friends with

1:06:03.920 --> 1:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>someone that have no sexual chemistry or no interest whatever.

1:06:07.520 --> 1:06:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Now does it become a problem. Let's say, would Brooks

1:06:11.640 --> 1:06:13.640
<v Speaker 1>would your wife? Would Juliane have a problem if you

1:06:13.720 --> 1:06:17.680
<v Speaker 1>were really close friends with a girl and you kind

1:06:17.680 --> 1:06:20.240
<v Speaker 1>of got advice from her or you got you know, well,

1:06:20.680 --> 1:06:22.560
<v Speaker 1>if it came down to, well, she's my best friend

1:06:22.920 --> 1:06:24.840
<v Speaker 1>and you know she she thinks this looks good, and

1:06:24.920 --> 1:06:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Julian's like, I donol like, is there a problem? Sex aside?

1:06:28.240 --> 1:06:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Is it more like, could it be an issue if

1:06:30.360 --> 1:06:32.840
<v Speaker 1>you're getting advice from something or you turned to a

1:06:32.920 --> 1:06:35.640
<v Speaker 1>best friend who's a girl to get advice or for

1:06:35.760 --> 1:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>whatever whatever it may be. Would that would that get

1:06:38.040 --> 1:06:40.840
<v Speaker 1>julianson in relation to my wife, like about something going

1:06:40.840 --> 1:06:43.360
<v Speaker 1>on between my wife and I? No, no, no, I

1:06:43.360 --> 1:06:45.160
<v Speaker 1>mean I guess there's that too. If you have a

1:06:45.200 --> 1:06:46.880
<v Speaker 1>best friend that's who you talked to about stuff. And

1:06:46.880 --> 1:06:49.520
<v Speaker 1>I know it's tough because your wife, I assume is

1:06:49.560 --> 1:06:52.160
<v Speaker 1>your best friend. But if you have a really close

1:06:53.000 --> 1:06:56.560
<v Speaker 1>friend that's that's the opposite sex. Does it become an

1:06:56.600 --> 1:06:59.040
<v Speaker 1>issue if you start like would the other person get jealous?

1:06:59.040 --> 1:07:01.200
<v Speaker 1>If if you started going to them or relying on them,

1:07:01.320 --> 1:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>or they were the ones that you just kind of

1:07:03.120 --> 1:07:05.680
<v Speaker 1>called and went to grab a drink with. To be honest,

1:07:05.680 --> 1:07:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I can't even I don't know. I don't I honestly

1:07:08.440 --> 1:07:10.919
<v Speaker 1>can't answer it. Dmitri. I don't know. It's I'm trying

1:07:10.920 --> 1:07:14.040
<v Speaker 1>to put myself in that headspace, but I'm not. It

1:07:14.080 --> 1:07:18.400
<v Speaker 1>hasn't happened in my life. Um So I really can't

1:07:18.440 --> 1:07:22.200
<v Speaker 1>answer your questions. Anybody somebody else No. So so with

1:07:22.280 --> 1:07:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Gavin the story that you were just setting up. Do

1:07:25.120 --> 1:07:27.200
<v Speaker 1>you think that there are times when the females that

1:07:27.240 --> 1:07:32.960
<v Speaker 1>you describe having a perfectly platonic relationship with that you

1:07:33.000 --> 1:07:36.240
<v Speaker 1>believe it's a mutual thing, But were you to express

1:07:36.320 --> 1:07:38.920
<v Speaker 1>that you wanted it to be more than they that

1:07:39.000 --> 1:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>they've been holding it back because they're fearful that you

1:07:42.560 --> 1:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>know that you just view them as a platonic friend

1:07:45.680 --> 1:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>and that I mean, are you asking if that's a possibility, Yeah,

1:07:49.680 --> 1:07:53.440
<v Speaker 1>because I think sometimes both sides, the other side wishes

1:07:53.480 --> 1:07:57.440
<v Speaker 1>that it was more, but they're terrified at ever voicing

1:07:57.480 --> 1:08:01.520
<v Speaker 1>that because it would ruin such an amazing friendship. I mean,

1:08:01.800 --> 1:08:05.000
<v Speaker 1>that's valid, that's a that's a possibility somewhere in there.

1:08:05.080 --> 1:08:08.600
<v Speaker 1>But it's, um, I mean, it's certainly nothing that I

1:08:08.600 --> 1:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>would It's nothing that I would say is dominating the relationship,

1:08:14.360 --> 1:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>you know. I mean, I'm perfectly capable of having a friend,

1:08:17.000 --> 1:08:18.760
<v Speaker 1>and I think the people that I'm friends with the

1:08:18.800 --> 1:08:21.719
<v Speaker 1>opposite sex are perfectly capable of just having a friend

1:08:22.200 --> 1:08:28.439
<v Speaker 1>and would rather maintain that stable platonic relationship than risk

1:08:28.560 --> 1:08:32.639
<v Speaker 1>any discomfort and and uh, cross over that line because

1:08:32.680 --> 1:08:35.559
<v Speaker 1>the friendships are so strong and um, you know, For

1:08:35.600 --> 1:08:39.280
<v Speaker 1>me personally, I'd rather have those friendships friendships because they

1:08:39.320 --> 1:08:42.800
<v Speaker 1>take years to develop those friendships and they're worth that.

1:08:43.200 --> 1:08:47.000
<v Speaker 1>It's such an investment of your time and emotionally that

1:08:47.160 --> 1:08:49.400
<v Speaker 1>you wouldn't ever want to even I personally wouldn't ever

1:08:49.400 --> 1:08:52.760
<v Speaker 1>want to even put that at risk. You know very well,

1:08:52.800 --> 1:08:55.280
<v Speaker 1>said my friend man on that. We'll leave it at that.
