0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>the Stars. My wife, My wife raved about you. She

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.919
<v Speaker 1>was so excited and she says to say hi, and everybody, um,

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>everybody in my community that I know that knows you.

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>And Dmitri echoed this too. He said, everybody that he

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>knows that knows you, raves about you to a disgusting degree, like, oh,

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Gavin Degraan, Like, oh my god, he's the nicest guys.

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:32.359
<v Speaker 1>Like all right, well, there's other nice people. So I've

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 1>not met anyone who likes you so at all. Okay,

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:38.799
<v Speaker 1>let's leave to that. We'll go to Ryan here next.

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 1>So we'll go to Ryan. I'm gonna run down a

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.639
<v Speaker 1>little a little uh bio of Ryan. Born in Memphis, Tennessee,

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>raised in Philly, is a long time suffering Philly sports fan. Okay,

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll get to that. TV executive writer, political consultant. He's

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 1>got an eighteen month old boy, he's got another one

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>on the way, so he's in it. His mom and

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.800
<v Speaker 1>dad were both FBI agents. He played soccer in college,

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>and he is self described as handsome, humble, and ironic

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>self describe I don't see where the humble comes in.

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 1>That's the irony. That's then, by the way, we have

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>a bone because on the way here, Brooks told me

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.640
<v Speaker 1>that the worst fan base he ever faced while in

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>the NHL was the Philly fans. You asked me which

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>were the rudest ones? And I wear that as a

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 1>batch of honor. I mean, I mean, I can't call

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>somebody polite. When I'm walking into the Green I get

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.639
<v Speaker 1>spit on by thirty people from up above in the walkway.

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 1>So that could have been Ryan, it could have been Um.

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>But can you give us? Can you give everybody listening

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 1>like something? You're super excited about to be on this podcast.

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm super excited because I think what's really interesting to

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>me is that we all have our unique perspectives. We

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 1>all are at a different stage in our lives. You know,

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 1>you're married, kids, probably soon. I have one kid, a

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>second along on the way. Dmitri has twelve kids. I

0:03:56.400 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>think Gavin is perpetually scared of commitment whatsoever. So it's

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 1>a good thanks, Um, But that's exciting. We're happy to

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 1>have you. Kay. We'll lead to going teeing up Dmitri here.

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't have twelve, but he has four kids. He's

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 1>a writer and a comedy consultant. Avid sports fan comes

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>from a big Greek family, owns a mandarin orange farm,

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 1>the most random stat in the world and it doesn't

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>love a good halo, and also is described as extremely handsome.

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.279
<v Speaker 1>We have a very handsome panel. Well, yeah, well my

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:40.839
<v Speaker 1>mom said that when I was young, so I figured

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 1>it's good for life. So I'm um, yeah, so I

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 1>have four kids, ten, eight, six and almost three. Um,

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.479
<v Speaker 1>and I think you know it's it's funny. As Ryan

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.120
<v Speaker 1>was saying, I think we all bring something different to

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>the table, which I'm excited about. I will mention that

0:04:55.880 --> 0:05:00.359
<v Speaker 1>obviously Brooks, you're married. Ryan's married, uh to almost two kids.

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Rick's married two kids. I have four kids. I'm married,

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.479
<v Speaker 1>and Gavin walks in the room, he goes, so, wait,

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>everybody here's married, so I think we know his stance

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.679
<v Speaker 1>on marriage, so that's not really I just was like, wow,

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>so I'm the only not married person in the room.

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>You look at you that have a you know, a teammate,

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.800

0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 1>as me. Hey, you guys looked at each other like

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.360

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 1>his face. Well, and I think the good news is

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:26.560
<v Speaker 1>How men think. Um, we're gonna dig into many different

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.680
<v Speaker 1>issues in how men think on this podcast. There's gonna

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 1>be a variety of them. Uh, Rick, why don't you

0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.400
<v Speaker 1>give us one? My friend, what is going on in

0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 1>your life? Yeah? Well, you know, my son just turned

0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:41.040
<v Speaker 1>thirteen last week, So that was that was a blessing, interesting, exciting. Yeah,

0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you know, as part of that obviously is

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of when they start hitting puberty, and you know,

0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.720
<v Speaker 1>he is definitely starting to cross that line a little bit,

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know, as as being a parent, and I

0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:54.160
<v Speaker 1>sort of backed off of it for a while. He

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 1>had his own cell phone. Um, you know, I used

0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 1>to check his cell phone occasionally and I was like,

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.320
<v Speaker 1>he was wasn't being very nice, you know to me.

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 1>So I was like, Okay, he's gonna go to bed

0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'll check a cell phone. So check a cell phone.

0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Start going through it, just making sure. The reason I'm

0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 1>checking a cell phone making sure his communication to his

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:14.960
<v Speaker 1>friends or girls and guys is proper and nice and whatnot.

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 1>And so in doing. So I go through and I

0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>check out his web browser. So I pull up his

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.199
<v Speaker 1>web browser and like, you know what, I'm gonna actually

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.439
<v Speaker 1>search this, I'm gonna look what he's watching looking at

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 1>and I pull it up and the videos sorry, dirt bikes. Well,

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>it used to be like, you know, basketball videos, all

0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 1>of basketball videos, baseball videos, comebacks, game of the year,

0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.360
<v Speaker 1>those are those are the headlines back and when he

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 1>was ten, eleven, twelve. Well, now I pull it up

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's where he needs to go to his baseball practice.

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:50.760
<v Speaker 1>And then it's things that I don't necessarily well I

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:54.080
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't say I can't agree with it, but I'm not

0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.600
<v Speaker 1>really appropriate for a thirteen year old? Give us the

0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:00.640
<v Speaker 1>heavy what is it? Video? So it was like, not

0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:02.480
<v Speaker 1>quite the sports you were looking at. It was not

0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.720
<v Speaker 1>basketball videos, yeah, top ten, you know, highlights them. So

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:08.120
<v Speaker 1>you were sad that it was on his phone, but

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.960
<v Speaker 1>thrilled that you found it. I was thinking to myself,

0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yes, I have not seen these. I was like, wow,

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 1>this is an amazing collection. He subscribes to the same

0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, what is that My logging is

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.880
<v Speaker 1>that we could get a discount, Hey, you're on the

0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 1>same iCloud account that breaks up. So the first two had,

0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, our Google searches for wearing easy to go

0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.640
<v Speaker 1>to baseball practice, which we clearly take him because he

0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 1>can't drive, and that's real, that's not The next one

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:47.679
<v Speaker 1>is hot blonde mill for me to suck cute. He

0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 1>gets her tiny hole hammered. I don't know, so, you know,

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.560
<v Speaker 1>as his father, I'm sort of given a couple of

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 1>fist pumps, you know. I'm like, yeah, this is killer,

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of like your flow here, bro, you know. So

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.160
<v Speaker 1>it sounds to me like you would have preferred he

0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 1>dipped his toe in the water instead of just cannonballing

0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:09.319
<v Speaker 1>into porn very much. Don't sound very like starter level

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:13.319
<v Speaker 1>or this is not the five playboy that I used

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.880
<v Speaker 1>from at my friend's house. So so how do you

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 1>handle that? Do you have you talked to your boy

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 1>about that? We've talked already, yes, So what was the conversation.

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:24.640
<v Speaker 1>The conversation delayed a couple of weeks, so it was like,

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:26.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I was trying to figure out what is that,

0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, because you had to watch everything because my

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.840
<v Speaker 1>thought was you're not in trouble, like you're all gonna

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna find it no matter what, whether it's on

0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 1>your phone, your friends, wherever, the home computer, my log

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:42.760
<v Speaker 1>in was. When I approached him, we were My wife

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 1>and I both sat him down and he was kind

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.280
<v Speaker 1>of being at the time, and we were like, look,

0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.400
<v Speaker 1>we need to talk, like you're using your phone for

0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 1>certain things and here's what they are, you know, And

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 1>we didn't go back and tell them that. And we

0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:58.600
<v Speaker 1>don't have that much data on your plan. That's a

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 1>huge download right now on I would go instead of

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 1>eight videos, I would married down to five. Yet, can

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I What was your wife's reaction to this? Oh my gosh,

0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:10.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, she was surprised. She was wondering what was

0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 1>going Was she like, oh my gosh, I failed as

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.400
<v Speaker 1>a mom, or this is your fault or he's no,

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't. We didn't really look at each other that way.

0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Dmitri was more along the lines of like, how are

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:21.720
<v Speaker 1>we going to have this conversation? You know, on you

0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 1>as the father, because it's it's your son that you're

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.680
<v Speaker 1>to be the one to have that conversation like birds

0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:30.880
<v Speaker 1>and the be style. Yeah, I sort of felt that way,

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>and we haven't had that conversation yet. Either and so

0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 1>obviously that's next. But I'm trying to plant a fishing

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 1>trip around that, although from the necessary the titles of

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.200
<v Speaker 1>these are way beyond Okay, here's a quick question. Have

0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.560
<v Speaker 1>any of you guys had that conversation with your dad

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.920
<v Speaker 1>or parents at all? I never had that conversation. Yeah,

0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.520
<v Speaker 1>so the conversation I had with my son will basically

0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:54.960
<v Speaker 1>set him down. And you know, it's not how did

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.360
<v Speaker 1>you find this? You're being punished. It's more along the

0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 1>lines of, like, what you're watching isn't necessarily age appropriate

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:04.280
<v Speaker 1>for what what your age right now? You know, I mean,

0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.200
<v Speaker 1>there's a reason movies or rated are there NC seventeen

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.480
<v Speaker 1>or or G or whatever you want to call it.

0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:11.800
<v Speaker 1>But you know, it was more along the lines of, look,

0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 1>you're not mentally ready there from what you found, Like

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.800
<v Speaker 1>maybe he should have subscribed to Playboy, but he did

0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 1>mention the word hammered. Do you think maybe he was

0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 1>just trying to look up a construction site of some

0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:26.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of like that goes to home depot a lot.

0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Let me see what this is about. The interesting part

0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.040
<v Speaker 1>about that the name of his baseball team is called

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:36.160
<v Speaker 1>head First Baseball, So maybe he was searching head first

0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:43.200
<v Speaker 1>and then everything else. He's thirteen, he's a boy. As

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.560
<v Speaker 1>his lawyer, nice cover up, but that's not gonna want Yeah,

0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.000
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, it was. It was more about the long

0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.840
<v Speaker 1>along the lines of like, look, be careful what you're watching.

0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:54.960
<v Speaker 1>You know what you are watching. Obviously it's great for us,

0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.560
<v Speaker 1>but maybe not appropriate for that. There is there is

0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.200
<v Speaker 1>something that I that I read recently. It said boys

0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:03.760
<v Speaker 1>that age, kids that boys especially at that age, are

0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:07.280
<v Speaker 1>getting they target them with porn and they try and

0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:11.040
<v Speaker 1>get them hooked because it's the way to to really influence,

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:13.000
<v Speaker 1>like to to bring in the money of the industry,

0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and hence the industry and what it's doing, yes exactly,

0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:19.240
<v Speaker 1>and what it's doing is it's ruining that because then

0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 1>they are to some extent they're they're losing their never

0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.119
<v Speaker 1>learning the site of like romance or this is not

0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.159
<v Speaker 1>so when they start hooking up, they just think, oh my,

0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.840
<v Speaker 1>it's got to jump to this point and it's and

0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:32.880
<v Speaker 1>it's not obviously, I mean I have three daughters. It's

0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:36.359
<v Speaker 1>it's not the way to go about romance is not

0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:37.680
<v Speaker 1>the way to go about dating. And the set to

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:39.280
<v Speaker 1>think that, oh my god, it's supposed to jump to

0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:42.280
<v Speaker 1>this otherwise it's a failure otherwise. So they they say

0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:44.840
<v Speaker 1>that it's it's causing a big problem with with kids.

0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Well that that makes total sense, complete sense. I mean

0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:56.960
<v Speaker 1>just really listen those titles kids, even American Pie. And

0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:02.800
<v Speaker 1>it hasn't seen American pie. Um does anybody else have

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 1>anything like that going on? Your kids are too young?

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Your kids obviously too young? But what what about? No?

0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.120
<v Speaker 1>But that's horrifying. I mean it's a fear of mind.

0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:11.680
<v Speaker 1>You know. I have a two year old son and

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:15.399
<v Speaker 1>another on the way, a boy, and so the thought

0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:19.800
<v Speaker 1>of how far will technology advance between now and when

0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:21.800
<v Speaker 1>he is of the age that he's going to be

0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:25.240
<v Speaker 1>looking at porn or I have a question, I mean

0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:28.520
<v Speaker 1>they have. I don't understand why the technology, the technology

0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:32.119
<v Speaker 1>certainly seems to be there for uh, fingerprint identity for

0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.320
<v Speaker 1>accessing the phone. You think that it would be a

0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:37.840
<v Speaker 1>necessary technology for kids having their own personal phones that

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:41.639
<v Speaker 1>could access the Internet, that it would require a fingerprint,

0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:44.600
<v Speaker 1>and therefore it would automatically limit some of the I

0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:46.920
<v Speaker 1>think there is that technology. I mean, it would be identified.

0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:54.320
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, It was my phone. He's saying.

0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:56.280
<v Speaker 1>He's saying, there is that there is that feature on

0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:58.280
<v Speaker 1>phones where if it's a family plan, the parent can

0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.639
<v Speaker 1>can put in locks of what the kids can see that.

0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:03.879
<v Speaker 1>But he's saying Ryan saying that Rick has just failed

0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.560
<v Speaker 1>to do that. I'm just saying, we all have our

0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:11.400
<v Speaker 1>identities in our in our our fingerprint, and therefore he's

0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:14.399
<v Speaker 1>probably already documented his fingerprint at some point. Why doesn't

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:17.639
<v Speaker 1>it automatically limit his access to the Internet. Yeah, you

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:19.399
<v Speaker 1>can't go in and you can you can limit all

0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the access automatically limiting his access because at the beginning

0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:25.720
<v Speaker 1>of it, I decided not to do it because I

0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:28.080
<v Speaker 1>want him to go watch Steph Curry's highlights, you know,

0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.439
<v Speaker 1>over the last three seasons or like he he was

0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:33.120
<v Speaker 1>watching things that weren't necessarily at that point yet. Right,

0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:35.879
<v Speaker 1>So it's like obviously glad we caught it, right or

0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:40.720
<v Speaker 1>whatever I mean again, like to be honest, also to me,

0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:44.399
<v Speaker 1>it's actually opened up a conversation with him about that, right,

0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:46.280
<v Speaker 1>you know. So it's not a force subject. It's not

0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:48.159
<v Speaker 1>a bird's in the bees sit down, It's not that

0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:50.880
<v Speaker 1>it's I will say this in fairness to what you said,

0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:54.000
<v Speaker 1>This opened up the opportunity to um to speak to

0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 1>your son about this, and I think not to sound appreachy,

0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:57.480
<v Speaker 1>but I think that's kind of what we're doing here,

0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.240
<v Speaker 1>is we're talking about this because this is a even

0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:01.919
<v Speaker 1>though we're having fun with it, I think this is

0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:05.439
<v Speaker 1>obviously an issue that's happening. And I think just like

0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 1>you spoke to your son about it and when you

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:08.879
<v Speaker 1>found out about I think this is something that we

0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:11.040
<v Speaker 1>needed to talk about because I think people can realize

0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:13.000
<v Speaker 1>that you don't realize that it's happening. It's not like

0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:14.480
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna come home and be like, hey, I'm looking

0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:16.520
<v Speaker 1>up stuff I shouldn't be looking up. So I think

0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:19.760
<v Speaker 1>it's nice that we're talking about that because these are things. Listen,

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.960
<v Speaker 1>like I said, four kids, it's like but first kid,

0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:24.720
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't know, Like you don't know what you're

0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:26.280
<v Speaker 1>doing when you become a parent. So I think it's

0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:28.359
<v Speaker 1>like you have to lean on others and you have

0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:31.560
<v Speaker 1>to talk to friends and realize these things happen. Because nowadays,

0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:33.440
<v Speaker 1>they got phones in their pockets and they're taking around

0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:34.840
<v Speaker 1>they can look up anything. So I think we need

0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:38.120
<v Speaker 1>to have these discussions so that you know it can

0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:41.440
<v Speaker 1>be addressed like that because we're just as blind to

0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:43.720
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that. And good on you for not shaming

0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:45.920
<v Speaker 1>him either like that. What he wasn't in trouble. I

0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:48.320
<v Speaker 1>mean it might have been. He might have been duped

0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:50.119
<v Speaker 1>into it by buddies, but I mean, you don't know

0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.320
<v Speaker 1>the situation. Maybe you do, but like, good on you

0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:55.640
<v Speaker 1>for handling it in a calm, composed way. But let's

0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:59.200
<v Speaker 1>discuss this, this natural evolution in you as a human

0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.840
<v Speaker 1>as a young boy, um, and not coming down on

0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:06.399
<v Speaker 1>him with a hammer and um punishing him for doing

0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:11.000
<v Speaker 1>something like that. Um, I think it shows an your part.

0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Brooks. And you know the one thing I think

0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:15.440
<v Speaker 1>you you touched on before about having actually the conversation

0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:17.760
<v Speaker 1>with your parents about the birds and the bees. It's like,

0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:20.119
<v Speaker 1>so one short a story I want to share was

0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:23.240
<v Speaker 1>my dad in fifth grade taught the sex said class.

0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:26.120
<v Speaker 1>He was a local doctor where we grew up. So

0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:28.840
<v Speaker 1>what was I doing? I was sitting in the back

0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:37.080
<v Speaker 1>very black row with a baseball globe over my face,

0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:38.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean it was for me. It was

0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:41.359
<v Speaker 1>a very embarrassing moment, you know, especially when the people

0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:46.119
<v Speaker 1>started asking questions it and so to me, you know,

0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't recall ever really having that conversation with my dad,

0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:52.080
<v Speaker 1>but and that's why something I actually want, you know,

0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:55.240
<v Speaker 1>having seen that, you know, and then having a more

0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:58.240
<v Speaker 1>open dialogue with my son and or probably daughter at

0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:00.040
<v Speaker 1>some point, it's like, hey, this is what's going on,

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:02.840
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully she's not watching that stuff. Good for you, man,

0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:11.439
<v Speaker 1>that's awesome. Okay, we gotta go to break. I'm Brooks like,

0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:15.800
<v Speaker 1>and I got my man. But we'll get good at

0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:21.239
<v Speaker 1>that and get real good at that, the handoff. And

0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:23.919
<v Speaker 1>this is how men think. So we're diving into a

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:26.760
<v Speaker 1>bunch of topics for men for women is all about

0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:29.159
<v Speaker 1>how men think. And Ryan has something he wants to

0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:31.240
<v Speaker 1>talk about here. I do have something that happened to

0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:36.160
<v Speaker 1>me very recently which is relatively sensitive. But my wife

0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:39.760
<v Speaker 1>and I had to go through ivf UH, which is

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:47.439
<v Speaker 1>in vitro fertilization. Listening that doesn't know what that is.

0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:50.399
<v Speaker 1>Can you explain what that is? Yeah, It's essentially that

0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:54.000
<v Speaker 1>we were unable to get pregnant naturally, so they take

0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:59.359
<v Speaker 1>my sperm, fertilize her egg, and then the eggs grow

0:22:59.440 --> 0:23:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and you see how many embryos you ultimately have after

0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:04.520
<v Speaker 1>five days and hopefully you have a lot and then

0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:08.240
<v Speaker 1>one gets implanted or two or however many, uh, and

0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:12.920
<v Speaker 1>hopefully you have a pregnancy. But um, we've gone through

0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:16.000
<v Speaker 1>two rounds of IVF. We have a son now through

0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:17.760
<v Speaker 1>the first round of IVF, and we just went through

0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:21.679
<v Speaker 1>a second round. But one of the parts of the

0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:25.360
<v Speaker 1>process of IVF is that they need to analyze my sperms.

0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:29.520
<v Speaker 1>So you go into a fertility clinic and they bring

0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:33.040
<v Speaker 1>you into a room that they ask you to produce

0:23:33.119 --> 0:23:37.040
<v Speaker 1>your sample. So the biggest stress for me is I'm

0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:41.119
<v Speaker 1>brought into a small room that just so happens conveniently

0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:44.679
<v Speaker 1>for them to be five ft from the nurses station

0:23:44.800 --> 0:23:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and the reception area. Uh. So I am escorted by

0:23:48.760 --> 0:23:52.080
<v Speaker 1>the nurse into this room and again there's a lobby

0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:56.480
<v Speaker 1>of ten people sitting there, and they tell you, we

0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:59.440
<v Speaker 1>have material for you on this television. You just hit

0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:01.399
<v Speaker 1>the power by and it'll be preloaded. It's going to

0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:05.080
<v Speaker 1>be rolling for you. Uh, here's the cup. Do your

0:24:05.119 --> 0:24:07.480
<v Speaker 1>thing into the cup and then come out when you're

0:24:07.520 --> 0:24:11.600
<v Speaker 1>ready and will you'll be good to go. So they

0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:13.840
<v Speaker 1>turn on the TV for me and she walks out

0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:16.199
<v Speaker 1>of the room and in the first case, it was

0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:24.080
<v Speaker 1>a black and white porn that was from the seventies

0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:28.240
<v Speaker 1>with the guy endowed with a guy endowed such in

0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:31.960
<v Speaker 1>a way that I could not really imagine that that

0:24:32.080 --> 0:24:35.200
<v Speaker 1>was me in his position, So it was so small

0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:46.840
<v Speaker 1>exactly the TV was that the nurses of let exactly. So,

0:24:46.840 --> 0:24:51.280
<v Speaker 1>so you're in this environment and in my head, I'm saying, Okay,

0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 1>what is the respectable amount of time right now that

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I have to produce. If I come out in forty

0:24:57.160 --> 0:24:59.200
<v Speaker 1>five seconds and I say, here you go, They're gonna

0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:02.000
<v Speaker 1>look at me like this guy is freaky, like he

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:03.560
<v Speaker 1>just did it in four or five seconds. But if

0:25:03.560 --> 0:25:06.679
<v Speaker 1>I come out twenty minutes later, glistening with sweat and

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:11.120
<v Speaker 1>like fatigued, it's like relaxing, Like I'm gonna be back

0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:14.200
<v Speaker 1>in about one o'clock too. If that's okay, exactly exactly

0:25:14.200 --> 0:25:17.879
<v Speaker 1>what did you do? So so I'll fast forward to

0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:20.080
<v Speaker 1>the next time I was in and this is now

0:25:20.560 --> 0:25:24.680
<v Speaker 1>the most pressure packed moment of my life, genuinely, which

0:25:24.760 --> 0:25:28.840
<v Speaker 1>is my wife is under full general anesthesia. We're going

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 1>in for the for the procedure, and I'm escorted into

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:37.080
<v Speaker 1>the room and now my in laws because she's going

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:40.080
<v Speaker 1>she's been put under or in the lobby with me,

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:44.400
<v Speaker 1>and again it's seven feet away and they say, Ryan,

0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:46.480
<v Speaker 1>you're up, and they escort me to the room and

0:25:46.560 --> 0:25:49.399
<v Speaker 1>my in laws walk watched me walk into. Should we

0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:50.680
<v Speaker 1>come in or you good on your own? You're like,

0:25:50.720 --> 0:25:54.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm exactly so, so I again, I'm like, okay, how

0:25:54.720 --> 0:25:56.399
<v Speaker 1>long am I going to take here? But my wife

0:25:56.480 --> 0:26:00.720
<v Speaker 1>is fully under and if I don't produce, yeah, if

0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't produce, then like this is gonna be an

0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:08.000
<v Speaker 1>absolute nightmare. And said go get them, go, go bring

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:12.960
<v Speaker 1>us a grandkids. So this was a separate fertility clinic,

0:26:13.000 --> 0:26:14.680
<v Speaker 1>and this one was a little bit more high tech,

0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:17.080
<v Speaker 1>and they had they popped on the screen and the

0:26:17.160 --> 0:26:21.840
<v Speaker 1>screen had sixteen categories on it that I could choose from,

0:26:21.880 --> 0:26:27.879
<v Speaker 1>and it was nineties, uh, babysitters and I'm big butt

0:26:28.000 --> 0:26:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Asian anime, so oh, I know, adult humor. And then

0:26:34.680 --> 0:26:38.080
<v Speaker 1>the one I ended up choosing was adult humor. I

0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:42.480
<v Speaker 1>chose award winning. I was curious, what's winning awards in

0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:47.200
<v Speaker 1>this space? You gotta know now. But but again, it

0:26:47.359 --> 0:26:51.280
<v Speaker 1>was like the most pressure packed situation I've probably ever

0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:54.120
<v Speaker 1>been into in my life, was going to that room

0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:56.920
<v Speaker 1>with my in laws seven feet away, and how much

0:26:57.000 --> 0:26:58.720
<v Speaker 1>noise can I make? They put you on a chair

0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:03.920
<v Speaker 1>with this parts and papers, and it's like the most

0:27:03.960 --> 0:27:06.960
<v Speaker 1>sterile overhead lighting. So I turned the light off and

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I turned my iPhone flashlight on to give some mood

0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:12.600
<v Speaker 1>lighting for myself. And I'm moving around. The parchment paper

0:27:13.000 --> 0:27:16.160
<v Speaker 1>is crankling. My in laws are listening, the nurse watching

0:27:16.160 --> 0:27:18.199
<v Speaker 1>the clock, and it's it's a nightmare. All you hear

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:19.920
<v Speaker 1>from the lobbies are in laws going, that's our son

0:27:19.960 --> 0:27:23.120
<v Speaker 1>in law. And there. I came out with the cup,

0:27:23.200 --> 0:27:24.760
<v Speaker 1>gave it to the nurse and shook my father in

0:27:24.840 --> 0:27:29.760
<v Speaker 1>law's hands and that was that your hand first. By

0:27:29.800 --> 0:27:32.840
<v Speaker 1>the way, what when he just told you? What Ryan

0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:36.000
<v Speaker 1>just told you is exactly true. Because my wife and

0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I have also done IVF. So my wife has endometriosis,

0:27:39.440 --> 0:27:42.280
<v Speaker 1>which she's openly talked about. She's a big advocate for that.

0:27:42.320 --> 0:27:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I believe. Actually I think one and ten females have endometriosis. UM,

0:27:47.200 --> 0:27:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and so we before her birthday last year, we did

0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:53.720
<v Speaker 1>IVF as well. And I've been in that room. Um,

0:27:53.760 --> 0:27:57.199
<v Speaker 1>we haven't done the same room as maybe I don't know,

0:27:57.359 --> 0:28:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember the black and white important but U

0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:03.439
<v Speaker 1>but um it is exactly how he describes and it

0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:05.840
<v Speaker 1>isn't awkward. But his his father in law is waiting

0:28:05.840 --> 0:28:11.719
<v Speaker 1>outside your room too. Yeah, okay, giving people, did you

0:28:11.760 --> 0:28:14.520
<v Speaker 1>have the same thing in your head where you're saying,

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:17.439
<v Speaker 1>what is the respectable amount of tough minutes that I

0:28:17.440 --> 0:28:20.480
<v Speaker 1>can spend in this room that the nurses don't think

0:28:20.520 --> 0:28:24.760
<v Speaker 1>like I'm a freak, but that I honestly just think

0:28:24.800 --> 0:28:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I went and knocked it out, like I just I

0:28:27.080 --> 0:28:30.080
<v Speaker 1>don't think I thought too much about it. Um, it

0:28:30.240 --> 0:28:32.480
<v Speaker 1>is what it is. Grab the cup and put it

0:28:32.480 --> 0:28:35.159
<v Speaker 1>on the counter. But um, it is incredible though what

0:28:35.200 --> 0:28:38.240
<v Speaker 1>they can do. Like you, you have now two children

0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:41.120
<v Speaker 1>a second on the way from that procedure. So um,

0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:43.320
<v Speaker 1>for anybody out there that is considering it, it's a lot.

0:28:43.720 --> 0:28:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I will say that it's as you know, as husband,

0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:47.960
<v Speaker 1>you're just in full support mode of your wife. And

0:28:48.200 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 1>my wife went through a ton and you know he

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 1>was doing injections for months into her stomach every night

0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:57.360
<v Speaker 1>with a syringe and it was brutal. Credit for it.

0:28:57.360 --> 0:28:59.040
<v Speaker 1>But I will say I know a lot of people

0:28:59.080 --> 0:29:02.280
<v Speaker 1>have done that and and from everything I've heard, it's

0:29:02.520 --> 0:29:06.400
<v Speaker 1>very difficult, very taxing. I am. I have been very

0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:10.440
<v Speaker 1>fortunate and less than that all you know, my my

0:29:10.520 --> 0:29:12.880
<v Speaker 1>kids were just we just conceived. I mean if you

0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:15.120
<v Speaker 1>saw like Vegas vacation, you know, and they said, Rusty,

0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:16.280
<v Speaker 1>had you get all these cars? Because I don't know,

0:29:16.320 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I put a dollar and I got a car. I

0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:19.120
<v Speaker 1>put a dollar and I gotta go. That's what I was,

0:29:19.160 --> 0:29:21.480
<v Speaker 1>like I was with kids, except not with dollar and

0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:23.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, and instead of the car and we got kids.

0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:26.440
<v Speaker 1>But so we're very lucky. But I know that it's

0:29:26.520 --> 0:29:28.600
<v Speaker 1>that it's um that it's a it's a very taxing

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it's I think that's probably the pressure that

0:29:30.920 --> 0:29:34.440
<v Speaker 1>that was weighing on you, besides just being next to

0:29:34.440 --> 0:29:37.160
<v Speaker 1>the nurses station and what to choose and this it's like.

0:29:37.520 --> 0:29:39.560
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, hearing the fact that you have

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:43.120
<v Speaker 1>and Julianne have gone through it too is interesting and

0:29:43.120 --> 0:29:45.600
<v Speaker 1>helpful because I think so many of my friends have

0:29:45.720 --> 0:29:49.600
<v Speaker 1>gone through this exact thing, and it's become people are

0:29:49.720 --> 0:29:51.800
<v Speaker 1>scared to admit that they don't really talk about it.

0:29:51.920 --> 0:29:54.640
<v Speaker 1>So the more that people are aware that it's a

0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:57.200
<v Speaker 1>very common thing now with I U I or I

0:29:57.320 --> 0:30:00.360
<v Speaker 1>V f I think like it makes us all feel yeah,

0:30:00.400 --> 0:30:04.280
<v Speaker 1>we're not abnormal for having gone through Why why do

0:30:04.280 --> 0:30:05.760
<v Speaker 1>you think that is like why why do you think

0:30:05.760 --> 0:30:08.560
<v Speaker 1>it's that that is sort of suppressed person. I think

0:30:08.560 --> 0:30:10.840
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's a it's a it's such a it's

0:30:10.840 --> 0:30:15.120
<v Speaker 1>such a private sort of it's such a it's between

0:30:15.120 --> 0:30:19.760
<v Speaker 1>you and your wife, it's or your your partner. Um,

0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:22.000
<v Speaker 1>it's very emotional. I mean, you're you're trying to bring

0:30:22.000 --> 0:30:24.360
<v Speaker 1>a life into this world. I mean for us, for

0:30:24.480 --> 0:30:27.400
<v Speaker 1>us it I mean you're as a husband, you're just

0:30:27.480 --> 0:30:29.960
<v Speaker 1>in full support. Motive was very difficult on my wife

0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:32.520
<v Speaker 1>as well. But looking at the reality of our lives.

0:30:32.560 --> 0:30:36.840
<v Speaker 1>My wife is a very driven businesswoman, has her career. Um.

0:30:36.880 --> 0:30:39.640
<v Speaker 1>She just turned thirty last year, and so we wanted

0:30:39.680 --> 0:30:44.800
<v Speaker 1>to She has endometriosis, which which could complicate pregnancy. Doesn't

0:30:44.840 --> 0:30:47.080
<v Speaker 1>mean it will, but it could, and so the smarter

0:30:47.200 --> 0:30:49.560
<v Speaker 1>thing for us to do is to let's freeze some

0:30:49.640 --> 0:30:51.360
<v Speaker 1>of her eggs and if we need this as a

0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:53.959
<v Speaker 1>backup plan in two years or a year from now,

0:30:53.960 --> 0:30:56.280
<v Speaker 1>whenever we want to start having kids, and maybe we can't,

0:30:56.640 --> 0:30:59.040
<v Speaker 1>we have a backup plan. But I agree with you

0:30:59.280 --> 0:31:01.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean it has been hush hush, but it shouldn't be.

0:31:01.760 --> 0:31:04.080
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like there's almost kind of the stigma of,

0:31:04.200 --> 0:31:07.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's like that's not successful or you couldn't

0:31:07.480 --> 0:31:09.760
<v Speaker 1>get the job done, or that kind of a you know,

0:31:10.360 --> 0:31:12.400
<v Speaker 1>a bologny way of looking at it. And I feel

0:31:12.440 --> 0:31:14.480
<v Speaker 1>like that's kind of the society is putting us to

0:31:14.480 --> 0:31:16.400
<v Speaker 1>that pressure like, oh, you guys, could you gotta do it?

0:31:16.440 --> 0:31:18.960
<v Speaker 1>You have to do take an alternative way, which whether

0:31:19.000 --> 0:31:23.320
<v Speaker 1>there's something a complication or whatnot, Like I think that's wrong.

0:31:23.440 --> 0:31:26.360
<v Speaker 1>I think the inherent in being a man, it's the

0:31:26.400 --> 0:31:29.040
<v Speaker 1>ability to procreate. That's like that's kind of in our

0:31:29.160 --> 0:31:31.720
<v Speaker 1>d n A and and in every fiber of our being.

0:31:31.760 --> 0:31:35.640
<v Speaker 1>And so if you're told that your sperm are not

0:31:36.280 --> 0:31:40.400
<v Speaker 1>able to you don't need help in procreating, then it's

0:31:40.400 --> 0:31:43.320
<v Speaker 1>almost emasculating in a way. So it's tough. I think

0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:45.760
<v Speaker 1>it times for a guy to admit that that's something

0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:48.240
<v Speaker 1>that you're dealing with him. And I'll end with this,

0:31:48.320 --> 0:31:51.720
<v Speaker 1>which is we've we've dealt with And there was someone

0:31:51.760 --> 0:31:53.880
<v Speaker 1>that came up to us recently and asked, my wife,

0:31:54.360 --> 0:31:56.760
<v Speaker 1>have you gone through or can I ask you, like,

0:31:56.800 --> 0:31:58.440
<v Speaker 1>did you go through I v F? And she said, well,

0:31:59.080 --> 0:32:02.040
<v Speaker 1>it's a relatively in trusive question to ask without you

0:32:02.120 --> 0:32:04.520
<v Speaker 1>offering it up yourself. But she said, well if you

0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:09.720
<v Speaker 1>must know, like, yeah, actually I did. And the woman said, oh, okay,

0:32:09.720 --> 0:32:12.880
<v Speaker 1>because you know, we already have two kids, um, you know,

0:32:13.000 --> 0:32:15.360
<v Speaker 1>and we got pregnant naturally, we can get pregnant naturally,

0:32:15.560 --> 0:32:18.400
<v Speaker 1>super easily, but we have two boys and we really

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:19.840
<v Speaker 1>want to have a girl, so we may go through

0:32:19.840 --> 0:32:23.240
<v Speaker 1>IVF to have a girl. And it was like, really,

0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:28.960
<v Speaker 1>that's that was It was a demoralizing and I couldn't

0:32:29.000 --> 0:32:32.760
<v Speaker 1>believe that she said that. And then my wife said, well,

0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:36.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you need a good fertility doctor, you know,

0:32:36.280 --> 0:32:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you our our fertility doctor's name. And she said,

0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 1>oh no, no, no, no, thanks Hunt, but um, we're

0:32:42.520 --> 0:32:46.000
<v Speaker 1>already working with Dr James Andrews. He's the leading fertility

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:48.840
<v Speaker 1>doctor in all of North America. So we were okay

0:32:48.880 --> 0:32:51.880
<v Speaker 1>with with ours, Like thanks though, and it was like,

0:32:52.040 --> 0:32:54.200
<v Speaker 1>it's nice to know that l a attitude also carries

0:32:54.240 --> 0:33:01.480
<v Speaker 1>over to fertility docs instead of yeah interesting, um, but

0:33:01.560 --> 0:33:03.720
<v Speaker 1>for anybody out there that is considering it, I think

0:33:03.720 --> 0:33:05.240
<v Speaker 1>it's a great option if you want to have a

0:33:05.320 --> 0:33:08.320
<v Speaker 1>plan down the road. Um, when I was in the office,

0:33:08.320 --> 0:33:12.120
<v Speaker 1>there was even there was even young ladies who didn't

0:33:12.160 --> 0:33:14.880
<v Speaker 1>have partners or whatever. But we're at a very healthy,

0:33:15.120 --> 0:33:18.520
<v Speaker 1>uh segment area of their life that wanted to save

0:33:18.600 --> 0:33:21.800
<v Speaker 1>eggs or later on. And even our doctor Um, who

0:33:21.840 --> 0:33:24.120
<v Speaker 1>was amazing for us, she said she wished she would

0:33:24.160 --> 0:33:25.800
<v Speaker 1>have done it when she was younger as well, So

0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 1>it's an amazing procedure. So on how men think, We're

0:33:32.560 --> 0:33:34.880
<v Speaker 1>also going to dive into some products on the show.

0:33:34.880 --> 0:33:37.440
<v Speaker 1>We're going to test some stuff for you guys. And

0:33:37.760 --> 0:33:40.959
<v Speaker 1>Amy and Danielle sent us all an email asking us

0:33:41.000 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 1>what we used for hygiene and specifically what we used

0:33:43.520 --> 0:33:47.000
<v Speaker 1>to shampoo, and I think they were stunned with the results.

0:33:47.160 --> 0:33:49.440
<v Speaker 1>And also how often you wash your hair and how

0:33:49.480 --> 0:33:51.480
<v Speaker 1>often we wash our hair And I really had to

0:33:51.520 --> 0:33:54.560
<v Speaker 1>think about this one. That's pretty deep. The last the

0:33:54.640 --> 0:33:56.800
<v Speaker 1>last time I washed my hair was two thousand and one.

0:33:57.480 --> 0:34:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Because I was right about when I fell out. Did

0:34:00.760 --> 0:34:03.000
<v Speaker 1>that happen fast? Like did it just start cuting? Was it?

0:34:03.040 --> 0:34:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Did you have like the like ring around And I

0:34:04.760 --> 0:34:06.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a actually started with like a little spot

0:34:06.840 --> 0:34:08.920
<v Speaker 1>up here and then it kind of thinned out, and

0:34:09.000 --> 0:34:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I was gonna be fine, and I

0:34:10.600 --> 0:34:12.719
<v Speaker 1>was wearing hats and stuff. And then one day just

0:34:12.800 --> 0:34:15.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of rapidly went and I fought the shave, the

0:34:15.760 --> 0:34:17.840
<v Speaker 1>shave of the head for a while, and finally I

0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:20.480
<v Speaker 1>was like, Okay, this is just this isn't helping anybody.

0:34:20.520 --> 0:34:22.480
<v Speaker 1>But at least you got like the nice full beard,

0:34:22.680 --> 0:34:24.520
<v Speaker 1>you know why I didn't. For a little while, I

0:34:24.520 --> 0:34:26.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a beard. And then I really looked in

0:34:26.120 --> 0:34:27.600
<v Speaker 1>the mirror one then I was like, I look like

0:34:27.640 --> 0:34:31.480
<v Speaker 1>a cute tip. And I was like, but a cute

0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:34.720
<v Speaker 1>tip with like a fatter body, you know. And so

0:34:34.719 --> 0:34:36.640
<v Speaker 1>so I started growing up here and I was like,

0:34:36.640 --> 0:34:43.279
<v Speaker 1>oh this helps balance out. Yeah, grewing? Did it growing nice?

0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:45.440
<v Speaker 1>And even did you have like bolt spots like I

0:34:45.480 --> 0:34:48.200
<v Speaker 1>got on my face spot right here that just won't

0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:51.440
<v Speaker 1>grow in? You See, I have the same thing that's unfortunate.

0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:55.120
<v Speaker 1>See this, Yeah, it's like in breeding or it's very

0:34:56.200 --> 0:35:00.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. So in front of in front, in

0:35:00.280 --> 0:35:01.759
<v Speaker 1>front of each of one of us right now, we're

0:35:01.760 --> 0:35:05.839
<v Speaker 1>holding a new bar created by hay Bow dot com.

0:35:06.040 --> 0:35:09.880
<v Speaker 1>It's hey body, Body Body dot com. So Amy, what

0:35:09.960 --> 0:35:12.120
<v Speaker 1>is this? It's a bar that's body wash? So what

0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:16.520
<v Speaker 1>shocked me? When I asked for your information about how

0:35:16.520 --> 0:35:20.560
<v Speaker 1>often you shampooed. The answer was once a week, once

0:35:20.600 --> 0:35:24.640
<v Speaker 1>every other week. Ryan said once a week until his

0:35:24.680 --> 0:35:27.040
<v Speaker 1>wife made him do it twice because she thought it

0:35:27.080 --> 0:35:29.279
<v Speaker 1>was disgusting that he only did it once. So we

0:35:29.320 --> 0:35:30.840
<v Speaker 1>have a bar for you guys to try. This is

0:35:31.000 --> 0:35:35.120
<v Speaker 1>all in one shampoo. Yeah, hold that up, rick shampoo,

0:35:35.440 --> 0:35:38.080
<v Speaker 1>face wash, body wash, all in one in a bar

0:35:38.120 --> 0:35:40.200
<v Speaker 1>because I thought, all y'all travel a lot, so you

0:35:40.280 --> 0:35:43.600
<v Speaker 1>can't you get this through airport securities easier to I

0:35:43.600 --> 0:35:46.320
<v Speaker 1>don't think they should rename it a body just because

0:35:46.400 --> 0:35:48.400
<v Speaker 1>I might be messing it up. I don't know. I

0:35:48.440 --> 0:35:50.120
<v Speaker 1>thought that was a clever name, and then I realized,

0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but maybe it is. Maybe it's b

0:35:51.800 --> 0:35:57.480
<v Speaker 1>O D E. Hey, it's hey. I've never used the bar.

0:35:58.960 --> 0:36:00.960
<v Speaker 1>How I do it? I just whatever my wife has

0:36:00.960 --> 0:36:04.319
<v Speaker 1>in the shower, and whenever I think to shampoo my hair,

0:36:04.360 --> 0:36:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I would say, it's probably I think. I responded, once

0:36:06.200 --> 0:36:09.319
<v Speaker 1>a week, I'd probably shampoo my hair. And off of

0:36:09.320 --> 0:36:10.960
<v Speaker 1>what you just said, it's crazy as this is, like

0:36:11.000 --> 0:36:13.919
<v Speaker 1>I said, I lost my hair for some reason, whether

0:36:13.960 --> 0:36:16.799
<v Speaker 1>it's habit, I still use shampoo on my head, a

0:36:16.920 --> 0:36:20.120
<v Speaker 1>face soap, and then regular like body soap on my

0:36:20.480 --> 0:36:25.479
<v Speaker 1>It makes zero sen on your head probably, I don't know.

0:36:25.520 --> 0:36:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Maybe about I'm gonna try this though, because I use

0:36:29.280 --> 0:36:34.840
<v Speaker 1>one bar for the whole thing. I mean, yeah, we

0:36:34.880 --> 0:36:37.399
<v Speaker 1>can take the mic on the show a little's just

0:36:37.440 --> 0:36:42.759
<v Speaker 1>sparkling a little bit. This is taking a turn. I'm

0:36:42.760 --> 0:36:44.440
<v Speaker 1>not saying no, I'm just saying it's taking a turn.

0:36:44.480 --> 0:36:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you condition? No? I don't the line there? Do you?

0:36:49.719 --> 0:36:51.920
<v Speaker 1>How about your your beard? Do you wash your your

0:36:51.960 --> 0:36:55.560
<v Speaker 1>beard with shampoo? No? I use my face soap. I

0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:59.120
<v Speaker 1>uh so, you guys count your intuitive products that you

0:36:59.280 --> 0:37:02.439
<v Speaker 1>use like our routine. I have one thing, the only

0:37:02.520 --> 0:37:05.280
<v Speaker 1>one thing that I have, like that's my own product

0:37:05.280 --> 0:37:09.600
<v Speaker 1>in our is Keel's Men's body wash. Has it smell

0:37:09.840 --> 0:37:12.680
<v Speaker 1>fantastic and it's like powerful, it's strong, Like when you

0:37:12.760 --> 0:37:14.759
<v Speaker 1>honestly you put this on, you feel like, yeah, this

0:37:14.840 --> 0:37:18.640
<v Speaker 1>is this a man's product. You feel smell smell? Do

0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:20.400
<v Speaker 1>do you do? You do? Are you like a natural

0:37:20.440 --> 0:37:23.160
<v Speaker 1>like a dealdorant or an anti perseporant person? I don't

0:37:23.200 --> 0:37:26.200
<v Speaker 1>do either. You do no deator whatsoever. I'll put the

0:37:26.200 --> 0:37:29.080
<v Speaker 1>odor on paving like once every three months, no way,

0:37:30.360 --> 0:37:34.080
<v Speaker 1>because like night, what night is that special? Occajun? I

0:37:34.400 --> 0:37:37.280
<v Speaker 1>have no idea. That's a great question. Like randomly, hasn't

0:37:37.800 --> 0:37:39.319
<v Speaker 1>you know you're gonna be riding a subway in New

0:37:39.400 --> 0:37:42.920
<v Speaker 1>York You're like, oh, where did the It's just random, dude,

0:37:42.920 --> 0:37:44.040
<v Speaker 1>All of a sudden, I see it. I'm like, oh,

0:37:44.080 --> 0:37:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I got the odor and I'll throw that on. How

0:37:45.600 --> 0:37:48.200
<v Speaker 1>does the professional athlete sweat that much and not use

0:37:48.239 --> 0:37:51.240
<v Speaker 1>the odor? And I don't because honestly, it keeps serious.

0:37:51.239 --> 0:37:54.880
<v Speaker 1>So I think that's that sweating flushes your system. So

0:37:54.960 --> 0:37:57.800
<v Speaker 1>people that sweat all the time like you are always.

0:37:57.800 --> 0:38:01.040
<v Speaker 1>I eat healthy, I exercise all day long. My system

0:38:01.120 --> 0:38:04.359
<v Speaker 1>flushes itself daily, and I think that way you have

0:38:04.440 --> 0:38:07.480
<v Speaker 1>less body order. I think people that have bad body

0:38:07.600 --> 0:38:11.319
<v Speaker 1>order are very inactive and eat unhealthy. That's what That's

0:38:11.360 --> 0:38:14.279
<v Speaker 1>what they say about any persons and sunscreen and whatnot,

0:38:14.320 --> 0:38:17.080
<v Speaker 1>but they say it clogs your pores. So to your thing, Kevin,

0:38:17.160 --> 0:38:19.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't use any purse burnt anymore because I feel

0:38:19.800 --> 0:38:23.399
<v Speaker 1>like it's just rubbing on like cake batter, but deodorant.

0:38:24.239 --> 0:38:27.399
<v Speaker 1>But not on, I see, And that's why I don't

0:38:27.440 --> 0:38:33.399
<v Speaker 1>wear it because but I actually won't think it's it's

0:38:33.480 --> 0:38:35.600
<v Speaker 1>keeping it in. It's just I do. I feel like

0:38:35.600 --> 0:38:37.880
<v Speaker 1>it's just kicked on. You see what it does the

0:38:37.920 --> 0:38:41.799
<v Speaker 1>T shirts. A month ago I tried. I had read

0:38:41.800 --> 0:38:45.200
<v Speaker 1>everything about how there's aluminum and mainstream deodorant, so I

0:38:45.280 --> 0:38:49.239
<v Speaker 1>went the Whole Food's got one of those non aluminum deodorants,

0:38:49.320 --> 0:38:52.279
<v Speaker 1>tried it, and it doesn't work. I mean, so it

0:38:52.280 --> 0:38:55.399
<v Speaker 1>doesn't work. How I still sweat when I wear that

0:38:55.480 --> 0:39:00.400
<v Speaker 1>as compared to using a mainstream deodorant that actually is active.

0:39:00.640 --> 0:39:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Maybe maybe that's why I don't wear theodor because I'm

0:39:02.680 --> 0:39:06.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna sweat regardless. But I run hot so like and

0:39:06.600 --> 0:39:08.600
<v Speaker 1>also during the course of the day, I'm training multiple

0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:10.000
<v Speaker 1>four or five hours in the course of a day,

0:39:10.040 --> 0:39:12.120
<v Speaker 1>what's the point of having deodor it on. I'm just

0:39:12.120 --> 0:39:13.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna take that shirt off, put a dry one on.

0:39:13.960 --> 0:39:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Take that one. And maybe you're just not wearing a

0:39:15.560 --> 0:39:18.520
<v Speaker 1>shirt long enough for it to get stinky. Perhaps you

0:39:18.560 --> 0:39:21.000
<v Speaker 1>smell like a bear. You don't wear a shirt long

0:39:21.120 --> 0:39:23.520
<v Speaker 1>enough for it to take effect. It explores why the

0:39:23.560 --> 0:39:26.880
<v Speaker 1>studio smells like onions, right now, or maybe maybe you

0:39:26.920 --> 0:39:29.160
<v Speaker 1>shower twice today. You know, you shower in the morning,

0:39:29.200 --> 0:39:30.640
<v Speaker 1>you go work out for four hours, and you shower

0:39:30.680 --> 0:39:32.080
<v Speaker 1>in the afternoon. You don't need to be you just

0:39:32.160 --> 0:39:33.799
<v Speaker 1>have to win laundry match so you can wash all

0:39:33.800 --> 0:39:39.040
<v Speaker 1>those shirts off. Well, what about you on stage? Oh there?

0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Do you put anything on? You just say whatever, I'm

0:39:41.560 --> 0:39:44.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna sweat anyway. If it depends, depends if I showered

0:39:44.800 --> 0:39:46.719
<v Speaker 1>right before the show or not. If I shower right

0:39:46.760 --> 0:39:49.359
<v Speaker 1>before the show, throw my stuff on, then I won't

0:39:49.400 --> 0:39:52.000
<v Speaker 1>bother because I won't be wearing the shirt longer than

0:39:52.200 --> 0:39:53.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, a couple of hours. So I'm gonna smell,

0:39:54.160 --> 0:39:56.080
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. So it really depends if

0:39:56.080 --> 0:39:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I just hopped off the plane, I'm on my way

0:39:57.960 --> 0:40:00.360
<v Speaker 1>to the show, and I'm not I'm not gonna make

0:40:00.400 --> 0:40:03.160
<v Speaker 1>it in time, you know what I mean. I've it's

0:40:03.200 --> 0:40:07.120
<v Speaker 1>you know times, you know, Yeah, sound like I smell

0:40:08.320 --> 0:40:10.799
<v Speaker 1>so well. The other thing I think, I feel like

0:40:11.000 --> 0:40:12.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the products that have come out for

0:40:12.960 --> 0:40:17.000
<v Speaker 1>men are are more tailored towards with a cent on it,

0:40:17.120 --> 0:40:19.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, like now it's after shaved or beard grooming

0:40:20.160 --> 0:40:22.719
<v Speaker 1>oils and all this type of stuff where and that's

0:40:22.800 --> 0:40:25.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of come more mainstream instead of instead of deodor

0:40:25.520 --> 0:40:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Back in the day, it was it was deodorant, and

0:40:27.160 --> 0:40:29.360
<v Speaker 1>that's it. Maybe after shave you slap on your face,

0:40:29.400 --> 0:40:32.839
<v Speaker 1>but now it's okay, it's it's beard oil or it's

0:40:33.320 --> 0:40:35.759
<v Speaker 1>after shave lotion. That's a lot of products. There's a

0:40:35.840 --> 0:40:38.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of things out there that are hair goop or

0:40:38.160 --> 0:40:39.960
<v Speaker 1>whatever you want to call it. And so you don't

0:40:39.960 --> 0:40:42.640
<v Speaker 1>need it because you already smell good. So technically, here's

0:40:42.640 --> 0:40:45.000
<v Speaker 1>a question for you guys, and also for our listeners,

0:40:45.000 --> 0:40:49.080
<v Speaker 1>for our guys listening, um, over under, would you have

0:40:49.200 --> 0:40:55.759
<v Speaker 1>like four or five products like hair or shampoo or

0:40:55.920 --> 0:40:59.120
<v Speaker 1>body lotion or like I have something to put in

0:40:59.120 --> 0:41:01.480
<v Speaker 1>my hair, I have key those body lotion, I have

0:41:01.600 --> 0:41:05.560
<v Speaker 1>cologne and toothpaste. That's about the extent of what I'm running.

0:41:06.400 --> 0:41:09.799
<v Speaker 1>A second, if anybody's count because everybody has toothpaste, so

0:41:09.920 --> 0:41:11.799
<v Speaker 1>let's count that out. So let's say, over under, do

0:41:11.840 --> 0:41:14.960
<v Speaker 1>you have five products for personal hygiene? And it's not

0:41:15.040 --> 0:41:17.279
<v Speaker 1>it's not right or wrong. There's no right or wrong way.

0:41:17.320 --> 0:41:20.160
<v Speaker 1>And and for our listeners, email us at man at

0:41:20.160 --> 0:41:22.000
<v Speaker 1>i heart radio dot com. Let us know if you

0:41:22.040 --> 0:41:24.320
<v Speaker 1>have lots. If you have fifteen I have, there's somebody

0:41:24.320 --> 0:41:25.560
<v Speaker 1>in my life that I don't want to name. It's

0:41:25.560 --> 0:41:29.480
<v Speaker 1>probably got seven and you can't live without all of them. Well,

0:41:29.560 --> 0:41:34.120
<v Speaker 1>I have another question, Yeah, hit me? Is this is

0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:36.480
<v Speaker 1>this the products you have at home or the products

0:41:36.480 --> 0:41:39.560
<v Speaker 1>you travel with they're the same? Are they the same

0:41:39.600 --> 0:41:43.920
<v Speaker 1>products but smaller bottles? Yeah? So I have a cologne,

0:41:44.360 --> 0:41:45.960
<v Speaker 1>have a cologne a big bottle at home, in a

0:41:46.000 --> 0:41:50.080
<v Speaker 1>small travel bottle, same same scent. That's your same same thing. Yeah,

0:41:50.080 --> 0:41:52.239

0:41:52.239 --> 0:41:56.120
<v Speaker 1>believer that your body gets used to things, So like deodorant, cologne, toothpaste.

0:41:56.360 --> 0:41:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll have a couple of options because I think after

0:41:58.760 --> 0:42:00.960
<v Speaker 1>you use something for a long time, your body adapts

0:42:01.000 --> 0:42:03.160
<v Speaker 1>to it and you gotta switch it up. He's a

0:42:03.239 --> 0:42:11.120
<v Speaker 1>theory for everything. Yeah. Yeah, him a microphone, He's changed

0:42:11.160 --> 0:42:13.440
<v Speaker 1>his T shirt three times, put on two different watches,

0:42:13.480 --> 0:42:16.279
<v Speaker 1>he's got this is a different drink. Theirst half of

0:42:16.280 --> 0:42:18.680
<v Speaker 1>the show, guys like, do you use four rounds bottles?

0:42:18.680 --> 0:42:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Because that's what T s a except like what you so, okay,

0:42:23.000 --> 0:42:26.360
<v Speaker 1>what do you got over under five personal hygiene products

0:42:34.640 --> 0:42:38.840
<v Speaker 1>So you get out of the shower whatever, it's not nothing.

0:42:38.920 --> 0:42:43.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, don't call me crazy theorists over here, but

0:42:43.719 --> 0:42:47.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, you get out of the shower, what happens. Uh,

0:42:47.600 --> 0:42:51.160
<v Speaker 1>don't tell us what happened? Air dry? Okay, I'm kidding.

0:42:51.200 --> 0:42:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I Uh what do I do? I mean, I have

0:42:54.719 --> 0:42:57.960
<v Speaker 1>a few products. I use a I like a what

0:42:58.000 --> 0:43:01.360
<v Speaker 1>do you call that powder? That's really baby powder, gold bond, No, no,

0:43:01.520 --> 0:43:03.840
<v Speaker 1>not that stuff. They say that's really bad for you.

0:43:03.920 --> 0:43:06.480
<v Speaker 1>By the way, like even if it's a hot day,

0:43:06.520 --> 0:43:12.120
<v Speaker 1>don't don't sprinkle, So you know they have I wish

0:43:12.160 --> 0:43:14.120
<v Speaker 1>you guys could have seen the motion he said. He

0:43:14.120 --> 0:43:17.480
<v Speaker 1>said don't sprinkle, He actually sprinkled. He never mind sprinkling.

0:43:17.480 --> 0:43:20.319
<v Speaker 1>I did a little bit. So you know what what's

0:43:20.320 --> 0:43:24.880
<v Speaker 1>that stuff called? It's got the like the little exfoliating

0:43:25.280 --> 0:43:28.759
<v Speaker 1>stuff in my face like a couple of times a

0:43:28.800 --> 0:43:31.280
<v Speaker 1>week after the showers, in the show, in the shower,

0:43:31.920 --> 0:43:35.560
<v Speaker 1>in the serat my face last. Maybe that's would be

0:43:35.600 --> 0:43:38.400
<v Speaker 1>most open. Is that why? I agree? You watched the

0:43:38.440 --> 0:43:41.560
<v Speaker 1>face last. I gotta wash your face last, because you

0:43:41.560 --> 0:43:43.920
<v Speaker 1>don't want the shampoo. If the shampoo gets on the face,

0:43:44.040 --> 0:43:47.320
<v Speaker 1>then it's contamidating. You always watched that's right. I feel

0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:49.800
<v Speaker 1>that you feel like Ryan would be the most educated

0:43:49.840 --> 0:43:52.320
<v Speaker 1>one in this time. He probably would be that you

0:43:52.480 --> 0:44:00.080
<v Speaker 1>looked like you'd have your doctorate in particular subject it

0:44:00.080 --> 0:44:02.680
<v Speaker 1>for beauty problem. I don't know, Brian, why don't you

0:44:02.719 --> 0:44:04.680
<v Speaker 1>explain to the guys that when I asked you about

0:44:04.680 --> 0:44:06.880
<v Speaker 1>your hair that you said after you wash it. I

0:44:06.920 --> 0:44:10.880
<v Speaker 1>sent you the lines from American Psychopatrick Bateman flat and

0:44:10.920 --> 0:44:16.080
<v Speaker 1>fluffy sho I said to Ryan, how often do you

0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:18.279
<v Speaker 1>wash your hair? And he said I only liked to

0:44:18.400 --> 0:44:20.839
<v Speaker 1>once a week because it gets flat and fluffy, and

0:44:20.920 --> 0:44:24.640
<v Speaker 1>no woman listening understands what. I started washing my hair

0:44:24.760 --> 0:44:28.040
<v Speaker 1>more because my wife said that my pillowcase stunk and

0:44:28.160 --> 0:44:32.399
<v Speaker 1>I had to wash my hair more. Yeah, we do.

0:44:32.480 --> 0:44:34.359
<v Speaker 1>But like so, I've now up to it to like

0:44:34.440 --> 0:44:38.200
<v Speaker 1>every other day recently, and it's we're working it out.

0:44:37.920 --> 0:44:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I know that to have your hair like you like,

0:44:40.600 --> 0:44:42.759
<v Speaker 1>beach hair, that's what I want. Beach hair. You come

0:44:42.800 --> 0:44:46.359
<v Speaker 1>out of the right now. I tried a my time

0:44:46.920 --> 0:44:50.439
<v Speaker 1>the ocean salt spray that dry bar. Maikes tried that.

0:44:50.440 --> 0:44:52.440
<v Speaker 1>That gives a little bit of a texture to it.

0:44:52.440 --> 0:44:56.160
<v Speaker 1>It looks good right now. What you need to do

0:44:56.200 --> 0:44:57.560
<v Speaker 1>is you need to put one of these hay body

0:44:57.680 --> 0:45:01.200
<v Speaker 1>dot com bars behind your pill and you don't have

0:45:01.280 --> 0:45:04.080
<v Speaker 1>to wash. So are you gonna try this bar in

0:45:04.120 --> 0:45:06.319
<v Speaker 1>your hair or you got your thing dialed in where

0:45:06.320 --> 0:45:08.839
<v Speaker 1>you're like, I'm liking my hair, I'm willing to give

0:45:08.840 --> 0:45:11.200
<v Speaker 1>it a shot. I have. I have a routine when

0:45:11.200 --> 0:45:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I get out of the shower, though, that is a

0:45:13.080 --> 0:45:19.000
<v Speaker 1>very standard routine, and let's involved. It involves the face lotion,

0:45:19.080 --> 0:45:21.560
<v Speaker 1>and involves the hair product which is a paste, and

0:45:21.640 --> 0:45:25.000
<v Speaker 1>involves some under eye cream because I have dark circles

0:45:25.040 --> 0:45:27.480
<v Speaker 1>under my eyes like a raccoon. I gotta get that going.

0:45:27.719 --> 0:45:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Then we do a cocoa butter on the body. Cocoa

0:45:30.760 --> 0:45:33.319
<v Speaker 1>butter is where it's at. If you have not tried it,

0:45:33.760 --> 0:45:41.560
<v Speaker 1>you're not so let me ask you a question. This

0:45:41.600 --> 0:45:45.480
<v Speaker 1>is a weird question. Ears. What do you wash your

0:45:45.480 --> 0:45:48.400
<v Speaker 1>ears with a body soap, face soap or the shampoo?

0:45:48.920 --> 0:45:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I washed my ears at all. Are

0:45:50.400 --> 0:45:53.080
<v Speaker 1>they all not the same? I don't know? I mean,

0:45:53.400 --> 0:45:55.239
<v Speaker 1>is this just because I was in locker rooms the

0:45:55.239 --> 0:45:57.080
<v Speaker 1>whole my whole life, where they just put something in

0:45:57.120 --> 0:45:58.919
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the shower and you just check into

0:45:58.920 --> 0:46:00.520
<v Speaker 1>your hand and you use it for anything. Well, let

0:46:00.560 --> 0:46:03.120
<v Speaker 1>me ask you this. Playing a professional sports so in

0:46:03.280 --> 0:46:06.960
<v Speaker 1>college we if a room in my teammate dropped the

0:46:07.000 --> 0:46:12.520
<v Speaker 1>soap in the shower, you got behind him rally. Sometimes,

0:46:13.400 --> 0:46:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean we we had this. This ultimate philosophical debate

0:46:17.400 --> 0:46:20.000
<v Speaker 1>was if he dropped the soap in the shower. He said,

0:46:20.040 --> 0:46:22.120
<v Speaker 1>the soap is filthy, and he would throw it out,

0:46:22.160 --> 0:46:24.759
<v Speaker 1>And I said, soap is the epitome of clean. You

0:46:24.880 --> 0:46:27.560
<v Speaker 1>washed the top layer off and you can use it again.

0:46:28.239 --> 0:46:32.080
<v Speaker 1>What do you think that that you lost me? That

0:46:32.239 --> 0:46:33.680
<v Speaker 1>is more than I would just pick it up and

0:46:33.760 --> 0:46:39.560
<v Speaker 1>use it. Can you tell me what epitome means? We

0:46:39.640 --> 0:46:42.480
<v Speaker 1>got our producer Danielle here, who's going to ask a

0:46:42.640 --> 0:46:44.920
<v Speaker 1>question and the gentlemen are going to do their finest

0:46:45.040 --> 0:46:48.080
<v Speaker 1>to answer it. So it's not really a question, but

0:46:48.200 --> 0:46:51.239
<v Speaker 1>more of a struggle I have with you guys. Um.

0:46:51.440 --> 0:46:55.600
<v Speaker 1>So I'm married. I've been married for all of six months. Um. However,

0:46:56.560 --> 0:46:59.760
<v Speaker 1>one thing I have found to be a common thread

0:46:59.760 --> 0:47:03.880
<v Speaker 1>in all relationships I've ever had is that guys automatically

0:47:04.160 --> 0:47:07.400
<v Speaker 1>resort to girls being crazy. That's what they say, and

0:47:07.440 --> 0:47:14.520
<v Speaker 1>the word crazy makes girls crazy crazy Already that we've

0:47:14.520 --> 0:47:17.240
<v Speaker 1>tapped into the point, and it's like, why can't guys

0:47:17.320 --> 0:47:22.680
<v Speaker 1>just stop saying the word crazy? Wow? I think who?

0:47:23.040 --> 0:47:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I think? I think it's because you, as we know,

0:47:26.680 --> 0:47:29.560
<v Speaker 1>women act differently than men, so to us, that's not

0:47:29.640 --> 0:47:31.680
<v Speaker 1>the natural instinct to act like that, So to us,

0:47:31.760 --> 0:47:35.279
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy. So I think when we say stop acting crazy,

0:47:35.320 --> 0:47:37.319
<v Speaker 1>it's like we don't understand it. And I think when

0:47:37.440 --> 0:47:40.160
<v Speaker 1>when you don't understand something, you that the easiest thing

0:47:40.160 --> 0:47:42.680
<v Speaker 1>to do is to to you know, kind of push

0:47:42.719 --> 0:47:45.080
<v Speaker 1>it away or make it seem like something that's not normal.

0:47:45.160 --> 0:47:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Because if we say that seems like a normal thing

0:47:47.440 --> 0:47:49.640
<v Speaker 1>that you're doing, Danielle's keep you know, I understand that

0:47:49.640 --> 0:47:52.319
<v Speaker 1>you're acting very normal, then that's calling myself crazy and

0:47:52.360 --> 0:47:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to do that. So I think, can

0:47:55.120 --> 0:47:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I expound on that little place? I think also there's

0:47:58.120 --> 0:48:01.360
<v Speaker 1>this other element where we say crazy, because I think

0:48:01.760 --> 0:48:04.360
<v Speaker 1>guys approach saying from what we we view as a

0:48:04.480 --> 0:48:08.800
<v Speaker 1>logical standpoint, and you're trying, we're trying to bring logic

0:48:09.320 --> 0:48:14.080
<v Speaker 1>to sometimes an illogical perspective in our opinion, and so

0:48:15.040 --> 0:48:18.760
<v Speaker 1>sort of like sometimes we feel like you're just looking

0:48:18.800 --> 0:48:21.440
<v Speaker 1>to have an altercation because there's some things that we

0:48:21.520 --> 0:48:24.920
<v Speaker 1>can't even we can't even fix you, or that we

0:48:25.000 --> 0:48:27.320
<v Speaker 1>have nothing to do with. There just be something random

0:48:27.600 --> 0:48:30.040
<v Speaker 1>and we try to address it, and then you sort

0:48:30.040 --> 0:48:32.719
<v Speaker 1>of turned it into it's our fault that something else

0:48:32.800 --> 0:48:34.759
<v Speaker 1>is happening, and then we're just sort of like, all right,

0:48:34.760 --> 0:48:37.160
<v Speaker 1>you're just crazy. I got to go for a walk.

0:48:37.200 --> 0:48:39.279
<v Speaker 1>You know. Here, here's the question for you, Daniel, is

0:48:39.320 --> 0:48:42.560
<v Speaker 1>it the is the word crazy a bit like a trigger?

0:48:42.840 --> 0:48:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Just because one million? What if it was just like wild?

0:48:48.280 --> 0:48:51.480
<v Speaker 1>So here's the thing. If you were if a guy

0:48:51.480 --> 0:48:53.520
<v Speaker 1>were to come to you and say, you know, I

0:48:53.560 --> 0:48:56.239
<v Speaker 1>don't necessarily agree like I. I see it a little

0:48:56.280 --> 0:48:59.160
<v Speaker 1>bit differently. Great, I'm so open to having that conversation.

0:48:59.520 --> 0:49:02.960
<v Speaker 1>But when he's you're being crazy, then actually, because it's

0:49:03.000 --> 0:49:13.200
<v Speaker 1>just crazy, I don't like that either. At calculator and

0:49:13.239 --> 0:49:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I said, this is what you said, this is what

0:49:14.640 --> 0:49:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I said, this is the equation, and your way off base.

0:49:17.320 --> 0:49:21.680
<v Speaker 1>It should turn into this, you'd be totally no, not necessarily,

0:49:21.719 --> 0:49:24.680
<v Speaker 1>it's just the certain words that I guess, like you said, Dmitri,

0:49:25.000 --> 0:49:29.879
<v Speaker 1>if you're being dismissive, I just wish guys like understood

0:49:30.160 --> 0:49:33.640
<v Speaker 1>that woman don't like do you ever feel first of all,

0:49:33.640 --> 0:49:37.320
<v Speaker 1>the question in and of itself, I would say, is crazy. Uh,

0:49:37.360 --> 0:49:40.040
<v Speaker 1>but do you ever feel as if you are trying

0:49:40.080 --> 0:49:44.239
<v Speaker 1>to pick a fight on purpose? Or No? I think

0:49:44.239 --> 0:49:46.520
<v Speaker 1>the guys trying to pick a fight by calling me crazy.

0:49:46.840 --> 0:49:48.719
<v Speaker 1>That's the thing. Well, I don't think it starts off

0:49:48.719 --> 0:49:50.600
<v Speaker 1>with him just going you're crazy. There was something that

0:49:50.680 --> 0:49:53.880
<v Speaker 1>came that you know, preceded that, and that's it. Maybe

0:49:53.960 --> 0:49:57.480
<v Speaker 1>where the crazy life let's go to let go? And

0:49:57.560 --> 0:50:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I was sorry, sorry, yeah, I was curious, Like what

0:50:00.239 --> 0:50:02.239
<v Speaker 1>do you want to hear? I just want to have

0:50:02.239 --> 0:50:05.000
<v Speaker 1>a conversation instead of being dismissed. I think you hit

0:50:05.160 --> 0:50:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the nail on the head with that. I don't think

0:50:07.520 --> 0:50:09.759
<v Speaker 1>you're being crazy. It's just this behavior of this act

0:50:09.880 --> 0:50:12.440
<v Speaker 1>right now. Maybe you are. Doesn't mean you are a crazy,

0:50:12.440 --> 0:50:15.440
<v Speaker 1>but it's also not a negative um like, it's just

0:50:15.600 --> 0:50:20.320
<v Speaker 1>a here's what it is. We're emotional, we have feelings.

0:50:20.800 --> 0:50:24.280
<v Speaker 1>We show them most of the time. You all don't.

0:50:24.840 --> 0:50:28.239
<v Speaker 1>You're just more pragmatic and when you say what you

0:50:28.280 --> 0:50:32.880
<v Speaker 1>mean and we're like filled with emotion. So I'm not

0:50:32.920 --> 0:50:35.680
<v Speaker 1>the only guy who isn't it doesn't show emotion, but

0:50:35.760 --> 0:50:38.480
<v Speaker 1>there are I think it's back to your question, Daniel.

0:50:38.520 --> 0:50:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I think there's trigger words for men too. There's words

0:50:41.440 --> 0:50:43.600
<v Speaker 1>that like I think of. I don't know if I

0:50:43.600 --> 0:50:46.480
<v Speaker 1>can say these on air or not, but um, prick

0:50:47.440 --> 0:50:49.200
<v Speaker 1>is probably not a word I would like to be

0:50:49.239 --> 0:50:51.560
<v Speaker 1>called or well, like if I heard that from my

0:50:51.680 --> 0:50:55.719
<v Speaker 1>significant other, I think that would would upset me a

0:50:55.760 --> 0:50:57.880
<v Speaker 1>little bit. So I think there are just words that

0:50:58.120 --> 0:51:00.960
<v Speaker 1>for men and women that are trigger. Gavin just wrote

0:51:01.000 --> 0:51:03.439
<v Speaker 1>those words down. I think he's planning on using them later.

0:51:03.840 --> 0:51:05.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm just kinda like I wrote him on the paper,

0:51:05.440 --> 0:51:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna slide him over on the table. No,

0:51:10.960 --> 0:51:15.720
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, you're a thousand percent right, because um,

0:51:15.760 --> 0:51:19.040
<v Speaker 1>just with you know, my husband, he's exactly like you.

0:51:19.160 --> 0:51:21.160
<v Speaker 1>He does not like any of those words, and if

0:51:21.200 --> 0:51:23.799
<v Speaker 1>I were to ever say anything like that to him,

0:51:23.880 --> 0:51:25.719
<v Speaker 1>he would have an issue with it, and he would

0:51:25.719 --> 0:51:28.120
<v Speaker 1>have a big problem with it. And I guess you know,

0:51:28.160 --> 0:51:30.560
<v Speaker 1>guys have their own words, their own trigger words, and

0:51:30.640 --> 0:51:33.600
<v Speaker 1>girls have their own as well. And I think I

0:51:33.600 --> 0:51:35.440
<v Speaker 1>could speak on behalf a lot of a lot of

0:51:35.440 --> 0:51:38.480
<v Speaker 1>women that crazy is one of those words. I will

0:51:38.520 --> 0:51:40.919
<v Speaker 1>say this if I go home and get start talking

0:51:40.920 --> 0:51:42.839
<v Speaker 1>to my wife and I say, you know, I think

0:51:42.880 --> 0:51:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I think you're being illogical. I think this is I

0:51:44.960 --> 0:51:47.200
<v Speaker 1>think you're just not understanding that, she will look at

0:51:47.200 --> 0:51:50.360
<v Speaker 1>me and say you're crazy. Because if I if I

0:51:50.400 --> 0:51:52.040
<v Speaker 1>try to talk to her, if I trying to talk

0:51:52.040 --> 0:51:54.360
<v Speaker 1>to her like a therapist, She's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

0:51:55.080 --> 0:51:58.040
<v Speaker 1>get out of here. You're the nuts one. So m

0:51:58.520 --> 0:52:03.319
<v Speaker 1>way too much emotion. Uh So I think, um, I think, man,

0:52:03.400 --> 0:52:05.040
<v Speaker 1>we should probably take a break on that one before

0:52:05.040 --> 0:52:08.360
<v Speaker 1>it's because even more heated. Danielle looks Danielle looking at

0:52:08.400 --> 0:52:09.680
<v Speaker 1>us like she's as mad at us as she is

0:52:09.680 --> 0:52:12.040
<v Speaker 1>at her husband. So it Haaven's crying already. It's I

0:52:12.080 --> 0:52:18.239
<v Speaker 1>am such tears. Let's take a break. This is how

0:52:18.239 --> 0:52:21.920
<v Speaker 1>men think. And we've covered a bunch of like different

0:52:21.960 --> 0:52:24.120
<v Speaker 1>topics today, some funny, some I'm serious, and we're going

0:52:24.160 --> 0:52:28.680
<v Speaker 1>to dive into something um really serious. Ready if there's

0:52:28.680 --> 0:52:31.080
<v Speaker 1>a little cliffhanger for you guys. I don't think anybody

0:52:31.120 --> 0:52:32.800
<v Speaker 1>knows this question, but I want to ask you. And

0:52:32.920 --> 0:52:35.320
<v Speaker 1>the reason I haven't told you anyone or told anyone

0:52:35.360 --> 0:52:37.839
<v Speaker 1>this question is because I want an authentic answer from you.

0:52:38.320 --> 0:52:41.319
<v Speaker 1>Gavin will start with you. Here we go, putting you

0:52:41.320 --> 0:52:44.000
<v Speaker 1>on the hot seat. Buddy, you can handle it. Okay,

0:52:44.440 --> 0:52:47.600
<v Speaker 1>here we go. What is one thing you are immensely

0:52:47.800 --> 0:52:51.799
<v Speaker 1>excited about in your life? And what is one thing

0:52:51.880 --> 0:52:56.399
<v Speaker 1>you are desperate to change? Good? The real we're going,

0:52:56.400 --> 0:52:59.240
<v Speaker 1>We're getting in. Hey, we're getting in heavy now. Something

0:52:59.280 --> 0:53:04.719
<v Speaker 1>here more capable adventuring that than me. Okay, what am

0:53:04.719 --> 0:53:08.240
<v Speaker 1>I excited about? I'm writing a record, So I'm excited

0:53:08.239 --> 0:53:11.439
<v Speaker 1>about putting out a new record. And uh so that's

0:53:11.480 --> 0:53:14.680
<v Speaker 1>exciting to me. Going on tour this summer, right, Yeah, yeah,

0:53:14.680 --> 0:53:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll go on tour, and you know, do what I do.

0:53:17.200 --> 0:53:19.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, I get an opportunity to basically, you know,

0:53:19.960 --> 0:53:22.360
<v Speaker 1>do a hobby for a living. So I'm lucky in

0:53:22.360 --> 0:53:26.400
<v Speaker 1>that regard. And uh your other question was what I

0:53:26.440 --> 0:53:29.719
<v Speaker 1>want to change? What's something you're desperate to change in

0:53:29.760 --> 0:53:34.839
<v Speaker 1>your life? To change? Man, I don't know, Man, there's

0:53:34.840 --> 0:53:37.279
<v Speaker 1>a lot. There's a lot of little things, you know.

0:53:38.120 --> 0:53:41.239
<v Speaker 1>That's the first one that comes to mind. I need

0:53:41.280 --> 0:53:53.520
<v Speaker 1>to find a dog sitter. Oh for peeling back. I

0:53:53.520 --> 0:53:57.120
<v Speaker 1>feel like I'm really getting another What do I want

0:53:57.160 --> 0:54:00.799
<v Speaker 1>to change? You don't even have a talk. I don't

0:54:00.800 --> 0:54:07.600
<v Speaker 1>need to know that it sounded profound. I want to Well,

0:54:07.600 --> 0:54:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I want to continue seeing more and not just driving

0:54:11.040 --> 0:54:14.520
<v Speaker 1>driving past things, you know. So, being that I I

0:54:14.640 --> 0:54:18.640
<v Speaker 1>do so much touring, um, I I feel like I

0:54:18.719 --> 0:54:23.680
<v Speaker 1>miss a lot along the way. Um and so, I

0:54:23.719 --> 0:54:25.879
<v Speaker 1>mean I was telling some people I knew what I said.

0:54:25.920 --> 0:54:27.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, I had gone by the I had driven

0:54:27.719 --> 0:54:30.560
<v Speaker 1>by the the Grand Canyon at least a hundred times,

0:54:30.680 --> 0:54:33.960
<v Speaker 1>never seen it, you know. And uh. And so this

0:54:34.000 --> 0:54:36.360
<v Speaker 1>past year, I bought an RV and I and I

0:54:36.440 --> 0:54:38.600
<v Speaker 1>drove out here with my you know, my best buddy,

0:54:38.600 --> 0:54:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and we, uh We're like, yeah, man, we gotta camp

0:54:41.040 --> 0:54:43.000
<v Speaker 1>out here. He's like, he's like, never been in the

0:54:43.880 --> 0:54:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Grand Cannon. Said now he said, let's go, you know.

0:54:46.719 --> 0:54:48.960
<v Speaker 1>And then I I did a little bit of road

0:54:49.000 --> 0:54:51.440
<v Speaker 1>trip and you know, in the r V, and I've

0:54:51.480 --> 0:54:54.640
<v Speaker 1>done two trips so far, but I want to do

0:54:54.680 --> 0:54:56.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot more of that, just because I feel like

0:54:57.480 --> 0:55:00.440
<v Speaker 1>we really get one go around here. And uh, and

0:55:00.520 --> 0:55:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to be the old man thinking I

0:55:02.480 --> 0:55:06.080
<v Speaker 1>wish I would have done more, seen more, taken more risks.

0:55:06.600 --> 0:55:08.200
<v Speaker 1>You know a lot of people they say, oh, you

0:55:08.239 --> 0:55:10.719
<v Speaker 1>want to have a long life, and all of a

0:55:10.719 --> 0:55:12.279
<v Speaker 1>sudden that I want to have a long life. I

0:55:12.280 --> 0:55:13.920
<v Speaker 1>want to have a fulfilling life more than I want

0:55:13.920 --> 0:55:15.359
<v Speaker 1>to have a long life. You know. I don't want

0:55:15.360 --> 0:55:17.279
<v Speaker 1>to be the last man standing all my friends. I

0:55:17.320 --> 0:55:20.120
<v Speaker 1>want to have a great time. So it's just how

0:55:20.160 --> 0:55:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I how I enjoy. Good for you, man, that is powerful.

0:55:23.080 --> 0:55:26.879
<v Speaker 1>I thank Phillis if you're around a bus. But that's awesome, Dude.

0:55:26.880 --> 0:55:29.320
<v Speaker 1>I know what you're talking about because having traveled around

0:55:29.320 --> 0:55:31.480
<v Speaker 1>for hockey, you get there, you punch, and you play

0:55:31.520 --> 0:55:34.239
<v Speaker 1>the game and you're out. And I've been in New

0:55:34.320 --> 0:55:36.719
<v Speaker 1>York thirty times. I haven't done anything in this Yeah,

0:55:36.760 --> 0:55:38.480
<v Speaker 1>so I get what you're saying. Have been good for

0:55:38.480 --> 0:55:41.279
<v Speaker 1>you for recognizing that and then putting an emotion in

0:55:41.320 --> 0:55:45.560
<v Speaker 1>your life to change it. Um, Dmitri brother, was one

0:55:45.560 --> 0:55:47.879
<v Speaker 1>thing you're immensely excited about in your life? And what's

0:55:47.920 --> 0:55:51.680
<v Speaker 1>one thing you are desperate to change? Hands down, I

0:55:51.680 --> 0:55:55.880
<v Speaker 1>think the one thing I'm excited about is my kids. Um,

0:55:56.200 --> 0:55:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I come home it doesn't matter what kind of day

0:55:57.680 --> 0:56:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I had. I walk in the door and the four

0:56:00.239 --> 0:56:02.040
<v Speaker 1>of them come run and scream and daddy and they

0:56:02.040 --> 0:56:04.320
<v Speaker 1>give me a big hug, and I try and record

0:56:04.320 --> 0:56:07.760
<v Speaker 1>it on my phone sometimes just because it's it's pretty

0:56:07.760 --> 0:56:10.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a pretty amazing thing. Um, But I end up

0:56:10.680 --> 0:56:13.319
<v Speaker 1>tossing my phone aside because then I can really you know,

0:56:13.440 --> 0:56:15.319
<v Speaker 1>it sounds maybe silly, but then I can get my

0:56:15.400 --> 0:56:18.000
<v Speaker 1>arms around all four of them. Um, it's it's it's

0:56:18.000 --> 0:56:21.239
<v Speaker 1>pretty amazing. Like sometimes they look up to me for things.

0:56:21.280 --> 0:56:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes my son, who's six, he'll look at me and

0:56:23.200 --> 0:56:24.640
<v Speaker 1>he'll just kind of wink and give me a thumbs

0:56:24.719 --> 0:56:26.719
<v Speaker 1>up out of nowhere. And it's like it makes me

0:56:26.760 --> 0:56:29.520
<v Speaker 1>feel like I'm doing something right because they're looking to

0:56:29.600 --> 0:56:33.360
<v Speaker 1>me for for you know, whatever whatever it is. They

0:56:33.360 --> 0:56:36.120
<v Speaker 1>don't they know that I'm there. And the other the

0:56:36.120 --> 0:56:38.000
<v Speaker 1>other night, I was sleeping and one of them came in,

0:56:39.120 --> 0:56:40.880
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I don't get a lot of sleep,

0:56:41.280 --> 0:56:42.520
<v Speaker 1>but it was like one of them came in and

0:56:42.520 --> 0:56:44.160
<v Speaker 1>woke me up. So the first instant you think is

0:56:44.200 --> 0:56:45.680
<v Speaker 1>to be like, why are you waking in? What are

0:56:45.680 --> 0:56:47.200
<v Speaker 1>you gonna do? We just do it. One of them

0:56:47.239 --> 0:56:49.480
<v Speaker 1>came in and kind of whispers dad dad. I was

0:56:49.520 --> 0:56:51.920
<v Speaker 1>like yeah, and they said I love you and I

0:56:52.000 --> 0:56:54.879
<v Speaker 1>was like, so, I was like, get back to bed.

0:56:54.880 --> 0:56:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to sleep. Tell me in the morning for

0:56:58.880 --> 0:57:02.239
<v Speaker 1>crying how loud. Um. So that's definitely something that that

0:57:02.239 --> 0:57:04.920
<v Speaker 1>that keeps me going every day. UM. Good for you, man,

0:57:05.000 --> 0:57:07.040
<v Speaker 1>that's awesome. So what was the other thing? What? What

0:57:07.080 --> 0:57:09.319
<v Speaker 1>am I? What's something you're desperate to change, not just

0:57:09.360 --> 0:57:11.399
<v Speaker 1>like something snagg and something you're like, I I need

0:57:11.440 --> 0:57:13.880
<v Speaker 1>to take action on. Something I need to take action on.

0:57:14.000 --> 0:57:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Is I've I've been living in Los Angeles for a

0:57:16.640 --> 0:57:19.640
<v Speaker 1>long time and I've been working and I feel there

0:57:19.720 --> 0:57:21.840
<v Speaker 1>there it's it comes to a point sometimes and I

0:57:21.840 --> 0:57:23.680
<v Speaker 1>think I feel like maybe a lot of people have

0:57:23.760 --> 0:57:27.560
<v Speaker 1>this this thought, but is this what I like? You know,

0:57:27.640 --> 0:57:29.160
<v Speaker 1>you you make money, but it costs a lot of

0:57:29.160 --> 0:57:30.880
<v Speaker 1>money in the sense like sometimes I get that feeling

0:57:30.880 --> 0:57:32.320
<v Speaker 1>where it's like I kind of like to be in

0:57:32.320 --> 0:57:34.680
<v Speaker 1>a small town. I like to maybe not worry so

0:57:34.760 --> 0:57:37.840
<v Speaker 1>much about making money to to to keep up and

0:57:37.840 --> 0:57:39.320
<v Speaker 1>and it's not like I'm keeping up like I want

0:57:39.320 --> 0:57:40.840
<v Speaker 1>to have these fancy parties and stuff. I don't do

0:57:40.880 --> 0:57:43.800
<v Speaker 1>any of that. But you gotta especially having that many kids,

0:57:43.800 --> 0:57:45.520
<v Speaker 1>you gotta you gotta make a lot of money to

0:57:45.560 --> 0:57:47.800
<v Speaker 1>survive in that town. And and part of me thinks

0:57:47.840 --> 0:57:49.560
<v Speaker 1>like maybe I should just find a slower paced life.

0:57:49.560 --> 0:57:51.320
<v Speaker 1>And it's kind of what Gavin said. It's like, I

0:57:51.360 --> 0:57:52.600
<v Speaker 1>want to I want to make sure I'm not just

0:57:52.680 --> 0:57:54.440
<v Speaker 1>running through life. I want to make sure i'm I'm

0:57:54.480 --> 0:57:57.240
<v Speaker 1>seeing things and i'm and I'm enjoying things. And I

0:57:57.280 --> 0:57:59.000
<v Speaker 1>think a lot of the times you you get caught

0:57:59.040 --> 0:58:00.560
<v Speaker 1>up like I gotta make this, Moe, I gotta pay this,

0:58:00.560 --> 0:58:03.720
<v Speaker 1>and we gotta do this. And it's like sometimes I

0:58:03.760 --> 0:58:05.880
<v Speaker 1>think about whether I should just kind of slow it

0:58:05.880 --> 0:58:08.840
<v Speaker 1>down a little bit, gotcha or dudes, we knock it

0:58:08.880 --> 0:58:11.200
<v Speaker 1>out of this part, this podcast becomes the best one

0:58:11.200 --> 0:58:12.880
<v Speaker 1>on I Heart Radio. We make a ton of money,

0:58:12.960 --> 0:58:19.920
<v Speaker 1>that's true. Yeah, and you get deodoran. Yeah, and I'll

0:58:19.920 --> 0:58:23.480
<v Speaker 1>guess out of that. Hey, hey, body is fantastic. By

0:58:23.480 --> 0:58:28.120
<v Speaker 1>the way, good currently doesn't have any representation in the

0:58:28.200 --> 0:58:32.480
<v Speaker 1>personal hygiene. He's available there. He is available. Hey, Dmitri,

0:58:32.560 --> 0:58:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I think we could, you know, find a but I

0:58:35.200 --> 0:58:37.840
<v Speaker 1>appreciate you sharing, buddy, Thank you for that. Uh Rick,

0:58:37.920 --> 0:58:40.400
<v Speaker 1>my man, what is one thing that you aremensely excited

0:58:40.440 --> 0:58:43.000
<v Speaker 1>about in your life and what's one thing you are

0:58:43.120 --> 0:58:45.840
<v Speaker 1>desperate to change? You know, I probably have to echo

0:58:45.880 --> 0:58:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the same sentiments as Dmitri, you know, and and go

0:58:48.560 --> 0:58:50.480
<v Speaker 1>into the kid realm of things, you know, are My

0:58:50.560 --> 0:58:52.440
<v Speaker 1>kids are both getting a little bit older, as we

0:58:52.600 --> 0:58:54.800
<v Speaker 1>discussed on the show about you know, getting into their

0:58:54.800 --> 0:58:57.160
<v Speaker 1>teenage years and and for me right now, the most

0:58:57.240 --> 0:59:00.840
<v Speaker 1>important part is guiding them through those important parts of

0:59:00.880 --> 0:59:03.480
<v Speaker 1>these ages of life, you know, and making sure they're

0:59:03.480 --> 0:59:05.640
<v Speaker 1>going to make the right decisions when they get older.

0:59:06.160 --> 0:59:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Uh do we can we control that? No, Um, But

0:59:09.600 --> 0:59:11.919
<v Speaker 1>to me, it's it's kind of coaching them and being

0:59:11.960 --> 0:59:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, before when they're little and the Ryan's age kids,

0:59:14.720 --> 0:59:17.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's more kind of you know, hands on

0:59:17.080 --> 0:59:19.240
<v Speaker 1>and you're changing diapers and you're doing whatever. And now

0:59:19.280 --> 0:59:22.360
<v Speaker 1>it's it's become serious things, right, you know, making the

0:59:22.480 --> 0:59:25.520
<v Speaker 1>right decision whether you're going to go do something in

0:59:25.800 --> 0:59:29.520
<v Speaker 1>a city or decided to take drugs or drink alcohol

0:59:29.760 --> 0:59:31.720
<v Speaker 1>or what I mean. These are real life things that

0:59:31.760 --> 0:59:34.960
<v Speaker 1>are coming in play with my son, um or all

0:59:35.000 --> 0:59:36.560
<v Speaker 1>of our kids as they get a little bit older.

0:59:36.800 --> 0:59:38.840
<v Speaker 1>And so I want to make sure that that I'm

0:59:38.880 --> 0:59:41.440
<v Speaker 1>guiding them down the right path. Um, And that's what's

0:59:41.480 --> 0:59:44.920
<v Speaker 1>important to me. What would I change? Um? Or what

0:59:45.000 --> 0:59:47.080
<v Speaker 1>was the second question? I'm sorry, what's one thing you

0:59:47.120 --> 0:59:51.600
<v Speaker 1>are desperate to change? Probably want to change my record

0:59:51.680 --> 1:00:00.200
<v Speaker 1>that I'm I'm starting with Gavin there my song all

1:00:00.200 --> 1:00:02.200
<v Speaker 1>the ones that I wrote had a line right through it,

1:00:04.000 --> 1:00:06.240
<v Speaker 1>and I was asking you what was going on with that?

1:00:06.360 --> 1:00:10.240
<v Speaker 1>But you didn't have a good answer. Um, what would

1:00:10.280 --> 1:00:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I change? You know again kind of echoing the same sentiments.

1:00:13.000 --> 1:00:14.840
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like it's kind of maybe our age,

1:00:14.880 --> 1:00:17.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, Dmitri and I when we started talking about

1:00:17.040 --> 1:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>this podcast and you know, started you know, collaborating about everything,

1:00:21.360 --> 1:00:22.960
<v Speaker 1>we really had kind of a bond and we were

1:00:22.960 --> 1:00:24.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about our kids and our age and what we

1:00:24.960 --> 1:00:27.200
<v Speaker 1>want to do and whatnot. And I think kind of

1:00:27.240 --> 1:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out a way to slow things down.

1:00:30.000 --> 1:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>You know. It is the grind every day, whether it's

1:00:31.960 --> 1:00:34.680
<v Speaker 1>at work or travel or whatever. And I love traveling

1:00:34.680 --> 1:00:36.840
<v Speaker 1>and I do a lot for work and um and

1:00:36.880 --> 1:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I do get times where I cancel it down on it,

1:00:39.160 --> 1:00:42.439
<v Speaker 1>but a bit. But it's taking your kids fishing, going

1:00:42.480 --> 1:00:44.840
<v Speaker 1>on a trip, you know, enjoying a baseball tournament in

1:00:44.880 --> 1:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>New York City or whatever that is. And that's what

1:00:46.920 --> 1:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I want to try to you know, you know, appreciate. Yeah,

1:00:50.560 --> 1:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>thanks for you, Ryan. What's one thing you're imensely excited

1:00:54.040 --> 1:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>about and what is one thing you are desperate to change?

1:00:58.320 --> 1:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I am really excited about my upcoming record and my

1:01:01.720 --> 1:01:07.160
<v Speaker 1>tour as well. Just SA start a band and not

1:01:07.240 --> 1:01:10.680
<v Speaker 1>tell me where do I buy a T shirts from

1:01:10.720 --> 1:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>your merchant? No, you know, I would say, yeah, I

1:01:17.160 --> 1:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>have a second kid on the way. And truthfully, you know,

1:01:20.880 --> 1:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>my dad was killed when I was younger. I grew

1:01:23.640 --> 1:01:27.320
<v Speaker 1>up without a father. So having a boy right now

1:01:27.360 --> 1:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>and having a second boy along the way is something

1:01:30.680 --> 1:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>that I you know, my I was five and a

1:01:33.560 --> 1:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>half of my dad was killed, and so it was

1:01:37.320 --> 1:01:39.280
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of avoid in my life for a

1:01:39.280 --> 1:01:42.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of my childhood. And so now to be able

1:01:42.160 --> 1:01:44.800
<v Speaker 1>to be a father to him and to do all

1:01:44.840 --> 1:01:47.320
<v Speaker 1>the things. And even when you pose the question earlier

1:01:47.320 --> 1:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>about you know, the birds and the bees talking you

1:01:49.440 --> 1:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>went around asking it was awkward for me because I

1:01:52.560 --> 1:01:55.280
<v Speaker 1>was hoping you didn't come to me, because I never

1:01:55.320 --> 1:01:58.439
<v Speaker 1>had the opportunity to even have that conversation. So it's

1:01:58.480 --> 1:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>just every moment that I went through my own childhood,

1:02:01.720 --> 1:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>I now genuinely cherish those moments that I can have

1:02:05.720 --> 1:02:08.440
<v Speaker 1>with my son and really look forward to doing the

1:02:08.480 --> 1:02:10.800
<v Speaker 1>things that I never got to do with my father.

1:02:10.880 --> 1:02:14.600
<v Speaker 1>So I think that's something that's really genuinely exciting for me.

1:02:16.320 --> 1:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>That's yeah, that's powerful. So in terms of something I

1:02:20.640 --> 1:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>would change, I think, you know, it's a lot of

1:02:23.760 --> 1:02:26.200
<v Speaker 1>people echoed it already, but it's it's really probably being

1:02:26.240 --> 1:02:30.240
<v Speaker 1>more present. And when I do come home from work,

1:02:30.280 --> 1:02:32.640
<v Speaker 1>it's it's I'm with my wife and I'm with my son.

1:02:32.680 --> 1:02:35.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm not on my phone, and trying to be more

1:02:35.960 --> 1:02:39.520
<v Speaker 1>present generally generally in life too. It's like with social media,

1:02:39.600 --> 1:02:42.680
<v Speaker 1>is not doing things for the photo to put on Instagram.

1:02:42.680 --> 1:02:47.360
<v Speaker 1>It's like living life, being more present and just enjoying

1:02:47.400 --> 1:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the moments as opposed to feeling like you have to

1:02:50.040 --> 1:02:52.680
<v Speaker 1>keep up with the jones. Is to Dmitri's point, and

1:02:52.760 --> 1:02:55.640
<v Speaker 1>this rat race that we all feel like we're living

1:02:55.680 --> 1:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>in Instagram life and everyone has to have one up

1:02:57.800 --> 1:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>the next person and be more present. Yeah, wow, amazing,

1:03:03.760 --> 1:03:09.200
<v Speaker 1>very heavy. Gavin's crying again, all right now, it's my

1:03:09.280 --> 1:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>turn to ask Mr Brooks here. Uh, what's the one

1:03:12.640 --> 1:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>thing that you're excited about? I mean, you've you've done

1:03:15.480 --> 1:03:23.440
<v Speaker 1>all this. Yeah, UM, I am immensely excited about opportunity

1:03:23.560 --> 1:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>in my life right now. So coming out of professional sports,

1:03:28.040 --> 1:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>played fifteen years professional hockey and now and it's it's

1:03:32.440 --> 1:03:34.720
<v Speaker 1>what I realize when I got out of it was

1:03:34.760 --> 1:03:37.840
<v Speaker 1>how suppressive it is on other areas of your life.

1:03:37.880 --> 1:03:41.800
<v Speaker 1>You are so micro focused on winning a Stanley Cup.

1:03:42.120 --> 1:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Your whole life revolves around that. How you eat, sleep, train,

1:03:45.800 --> 1:03:51.040
<v Speaker 1>your relationship, everything revolves around you winning, and that suppresses

1:03:51.040 --> 1:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of other things in your life. UM, other

1:03:53.560 --> 1:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>things you want to do, other projects of service, being

1:03:56.400 --> 1:03:59.480
<v Speaker 1>able to travel the world, these kinds of things, times

1:03:59.480 --> 1:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>with family, and I'm excited about the opportunity that I

1:04:03.120 --> 1:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>now have to dedicate time, energy resources to those things. UM,

1:04:07.160 --> 1:04:09.680
<v Speaker 1>one of them being this podcast. I'm excited for how

<v Speaker 1>l a Is fantastic. I love that. UM many things

1:05:36.520 --> 1:05:39.760
<v Speaker 1>in my life to be excited about. Um. The one

1:05:39.800 --> 1:05:43.040
<v Speaker 1>thing that I'd be desperate to change, I would say,

1:05:43.040 --> 1:05:47.920
<v Speaker 1>would be some bitterness and resentment towards my sport for

1:05:48.040 --> 1:05:52.560
<v Speaker 1>being done sooner than I figured I would be. UM,

1:05:52.640 --> 1:05:56.080
<v Speaker 1>some relationships in the sport of some things that happened

1:05:57.040 --> 1:06:00.160
<v Speaker 1>to me with me, UM, with some people that had

1:06:00.240 --> 1:06:05.280
<v Speaker 1>some decisions revolving or involving my career. And I'll stick

1:06:05.320 --> 1:06:08.080
<v Speaker 1>you on him, buddy, I might have to do a

1:06:08.120 --> 1:06:12.680
<v Speaker 1>few dead before you take anybody down. I'll stick you

1:06:12.720 --> 1:06:15.960
<v Speaker 1>on him. But also along with that, thirty five years

1:06:16.000 --> 1:06:19.360
<v Speaker 1>of my life was dedicated to professional hockey, to winning

1:06:19.360 --> 1:06:20.919
<v Speaker 1>a Stanley cupp And so when I got the phone

1:06:20.960 --> 1:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>call that said you've been released in your career is over,

1:06:23.840 --> 1:06:28.800
<v Speaker 1>there's a tremendous a tremendous loss of purpose and you

1:06:28.840 --> 1:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>don't just go from doing the thing you love most

1:06:31.560 --> 1:06:35.480
<v Speaker 1>in the world to now doing something that's okay. So

1:06:35.560 --> 1:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>for the last year it's been trying to find something

1:06:38.480 --> 1:06:41.040
<v Speaker 1>that lights me on fire that I'm like, let's go.

1:06:41.120 --> 1:06:43.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait to do this. Let's go, and I'm

1:06:43.240 --> 1:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>finally starting to find that purpose um with open gim

1:06:47.200 --> 1:06:49.400
<v Speaker 1>um and then also with this podcast. I think it's

1:06:49.440 --> 1:06:51.120
<v Speaker 1>going to be a large part of that because I

1:06:51.200 --> 1:06:54.440
<v Speaker 1>really want to do something to serve and impact UM

1:06:54.520 --> 1:06:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and so changing finding that new purpose in life. UM.

1:06:57.680 --> 1:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not the rest of my life. I don't

1:06:59.600 --> 1:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>want to be. I was a hockey player, you want

1:07:01.960 --> 1:07:04.320
<v Speaker 1>to say, I am a yeah, and you're not a

1:07:04.320 --> 1:07:08.440
<v Speaker 1>can kicker. Not a can kicker, you know. So um yeah,

1:07:08.520 --> 1:07:10.680
