WEBVTT - Caelynn's Compromise

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Hell, I Suck at Dating with Dean Youngler and Jared

0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Haven and I heard radio podcast What's going On? Everyone?

0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to an all new episode of Help I Suck

0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:17.000
<v Speaker 1>at Dating. Jared is busy texting, but that's okay because

0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:20.639
<v Speaker 1>we have a very special co host today, one very

0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:24.280
<v Speaker 1>near and dear to my heart. As a matter of fact, Um,

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>she actually demanded what she didn't demand, but she politely

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>asked if she could guess them. Let's be real. She

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>politely asked if she could be a co host on

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:35.720
<v Speaker 1>the podcast this week, just to um, just to speak

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:39.479
<v Speaker 1>her truth and and bear her soul to us lucky

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 1>sucky daters. That a person, of course is Kyln Caylyn

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Miller Keys. I don't know why I studied there. I

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 1>was gonna say Kaylin Bell, but obviously that's not the

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>case yet, So for now, it's just Kaylen Miller Keys. Caylen,

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 1>welcome to the podcast. Thank you so much, Dean Um.

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 1>The main reason I wanted to come on here is

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 1>because Dean keeps saying ridiculous things about our relationship. Well

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe not ridiculous, but the headlines are ridiculous, and I'm

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>getting sick of the trolls coming in my d ms

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>and telling me that Dean is a bad boyfriend. So

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to set the record basically. So I, well,

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 1>let me start by, did you want to come on

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 1>the podcast before we sent that video in the group

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 1>chat from Zachary reality, Um, I think I think she

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 1>saw that on her own. And then yeah, that was

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 1>sent amongst the group, but I didn't watch it. I

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.080
<v Speaker 1>was tagged in it on TikTok and I like started

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:31.759
<v Speaker 1>watching it and then I was like, if he's get

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.039
<v Speaker 1>in his talk crap about Dean, I'm not gonna watch it.

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>So I stopped. Well, he he doesn't say mean things.

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 1>So I've met Zachary before years ago, Ashley and I have.

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>He's a massive Bachelor fan. He was very sweet and

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>in the video it's quite funny because he says that, like,

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Dean should just stop saying stupid about your relationship. On

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>the podcast, that's pretty much it, because there's all these

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>headlines like, uh, I don't know, so I guess, Caitlin,

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>what are some of the headlines out there? What do

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>people talk about in your d ms that frustrates you

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>so much? From some of the things that Dean so

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>wisely says on help, I suck at dating. That's a

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>good question. Yeah, let's pinpoint exactly what it is. It's

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 1>just it really mainly is the headlines. And it's like

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 1>I get that people have a job to do and

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to get people to read. But the thing

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 1>is that people are just reading the headlines and they're

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 1>not reading the actual like what he actually said. And

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why this one like upset me. Normally

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.519
<v Speaker 1>trolls like don't get to me, especially in our relationship

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 1>because we are strong, But is when they talk crap

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 1>about him that I get so upset. I'm like, he

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>is such a great boyfriend, he's such a great partner, Like,

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 1>don't tell me there's red flags, because there's not a

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:39.480
<v Speaker 1>single red flag, just a couple. Is Dean paying you

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>to come on this podcast this week. It's like I

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 1>need a big lift to my ego, Calink, you just

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>come exactly, That's exactly what this is. Yeah, that's exactly

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>what this is. I've got Yeah, I've got a lot

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>of cash sitting over there for her. Whenever this is

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 1>over with, let's set the record straight from Calin. Well,

0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:00.919
<v Speaker 1>there's the record. How so here. Well I want Calin though, Okay,

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:02.639
<v Speaker 1>well let me let me, let me say something. No,

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:04.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm just kidding, Go ahead and go No, I'm totally

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>just kidding. Well, I just want to hear, so Calin,

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>how is your relationship with Dean right now? What type

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 1>of boyfriend is Dean to you? I mean, it's well, listen,

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be this guy, this guy. Listen, I can explain. No. Um,

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I think that she's not gonna say anything bad about

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 1>our relationship. I think, but you reason, so sit back.

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, let her do some of the work here, buddy,

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.239
<v Speaker 1>I absolutely will. But exactly, you're here for a reason,

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.119
<v Speaker 1>and Jared is trying to derail your reason for being here.

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 1>You're obviously gonna say nice things about our relationships, like

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>our condition of our relationship, but there's other things that

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 1>you don't like that I do on the podcast that

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 1>you're being led away from to discuss. Oh okay, so

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>there don't because maybe I'm wrong. I was under the

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>assumption that Klin wanted to come on and kind of

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>really pooh pooh all these people who are saying that

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Dean is not a good boyfriend, he has red flags,

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 1>he's you can do better. Uh, but if you have

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 1>issues with what Dean says in the podcast, please a

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>lot him out. Yeah, kind of a combination of both. Um. Well,

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I definitely thought like our engagement was going to be

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 1>kept a secret, but he's spilled the beans on here.

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm an open book. I I pride myself in being

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 1>an open book, and it's actually one of my favorite

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>characteristics about myself. I'm not like I mean, yeah, I

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 1>can be sarcastic and sometimes and that's when the headlines

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.159
<v Speaker 1>get like taken out of context because my tone isn't

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 1>included in the in the um content in the article

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. But I guess I should have kept it

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.280
<v Speaker 1>more of a secret in terms of like what we

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 1>were planning on doing, the ring that I was getting you,

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 1>the fact that I would like to have a wedding

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>gift as well, because I think the misogyny of modern

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.840
<v Speaker 1>weddings is ridiculous. But that's where I wanted to come on.

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 1>That was like one of the points because I do agree.

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 1>I think buying an engagement ring for a woman and

0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>like the man being fully responsible is ridiculous, and I

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 1>like went in with it, and I was like, why

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 1>don't we split this because it's something I'm gonna were like,

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I just I don't agree with the

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>man being fully responsible. So then him in return was like,

0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>you know what if you buy me a truck, he's

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 1>not demanding I buy him a chuck, and I just

0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>wanted to make that clear. We kind of like came

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.039
<v Speaker 1>to that decision together. But I think it's a good

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 1>compromise because I don't want to have him like financially

0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 1>responsible fully for ring that only I'm going to be wearing. Well,

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and that was a solution for you, let's hear it,

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 1>just get engaged on Bachelor in Paradise to get it

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>for rings. So there was a lot of not a

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.359
<v Speaker 1>lot of discussion. It was kind of like a quick discussion,

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 1>but there's a lot said in a little bit amount

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>of time where Calin was like, well, why don't we

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 1>split the ring? And I was like, well, I don't

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>want to split the ring because I wanted to be

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 1>like your gift that I get you. And she's like, well,

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.200
<v Speaker 1>why don't I just pay for it myself? And I

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:46.480
<v Speaker 1>was like that's even worse. I don't want you to

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>look at your wedding or engagement ring and be like, well,

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.039
<v Speaker 1>I bought this for myself. And then we were like, well,

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 1>why don't you just like reach out to a jeweler

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 1>and have a jeweler sponsor the ring? And I was like,

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to ask for a handout for an

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 1>engagement ring. So I like, while I am complaining about

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>how complaining and quotations about having to buy an engagement

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.600
<v Speaker 1>ring and spend all this money on something that I

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 1>don't necessarily agree with or believe in. Not the concept

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:13.480
<v Speaker 1>of like forever, but the concept of the wedding industry

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.600
<v Speaker 1>and the diamond industry and the engagement ring industry and

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff. I don't believe in that. So I

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I it was It's a it was a

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 1>lot for me to buy into that, But I also

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't want Kalen to be looking at her finger every

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:28.800
<v Speaker 1>day being like, oh, like I paid for half of

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 1>this ring, it's less romantic, and honestly, like even talking

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.279
<v Speaker 1>about it right now is probably destroying the romance in

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.720
<v Speaker 1>it a little bit. But also this is really where

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 1>this is where I get worked up a lot, is

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 1>you just like people don't talk about this enough. You

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:44.720
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, like, I've never had the chance

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.640
<v Speaker 1>to have a discussion with someone about this scenario ever

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.840
<v Speaker 1>in my life, and so I'm like trying to have

0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.039
<v Speaker 1>a conversation like outwardly to the world about it because

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm like talking through the things that I'm going through

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:56.919
<v Speaker 1>because I've never had the chance to talk to anyone

0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>else about it before, and no one talks about it

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 1>like on Instagram or whatever when they're like posting their

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:06.160
<v Speaker 1>engagement photos and how happy and perfect their relationship is.

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 1>So like I have got no context to work with here.

0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm like simply explaining the things that I'm going through

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 1>as I'm going through them. And sometimes obviously, like most times,

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm an idiot and I don't know what I'm talking about,

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 1>but like that's part of like the learning experience that

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm going through that no one else like is able

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 1>to tell me about, you know what I mean, Like

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I can't talk to my dad about it. I can't

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 1>I talk to my brother a little bit about it,

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 1>but like, well, I don't know. Now, I agree with you,

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:32.800
<v Speaker 1>it's a weird conversation to have because of course you

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 1>want to be the person to say, oh, it doesn't

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>matter what matters is love and caring. But like, as

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 1>soon as you can get engaged, what is the first

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 1>thing people are gonna ask you. Let's see the ring.

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's see the ring. Let's see the ring. And of

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 1>course you don't want to be constantly feeling bad about

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 1>yourself saying oh I should have spent more, or oh

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.640
<v Speaker 1>it's not that pretty, or like oh well Calin paid

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 1>for half of it, or oh it was sponsored. So

0:07:55.960 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 1>I agree, it's a weird place to be. Um. So yeah,

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 1>it really we should do a deep dive into the

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>origin of engagement rings. Well, because wedding bands make sense.

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you, I'll tell and take everything I'm about

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>to say with the biggest grain of salt you can

0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:14.840
<v Speaker 1>possibly find. So I was on the phone with my

0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 1>brother the other day talking about it, like, you know,

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I was talking about my experiences. He wants to get

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>engaged to his girlfriend pretty soon, um, and so we

0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.240
<v Speaker 1>were talking about it and I was like, um, this

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.000
<v Speaker 1>is what we're going through right now. And he goes, well,

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 1>do you know the origin of why men buy women

0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>engagement rings? And I was like, I don't know. And

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 1>he even said he's not unsent certain but he said

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.280
<v Speaker 1>that he read this somewhere, um that the man buys

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:42.040
<v Speaker 1>the woman in engagement ring because if anything happens in

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 1>the relationship, like if they get divorced or if the

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 1>man dies, the woman can then sell the engagement ring

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.240
<v Speaker 1>for like six months worth of living costs. And like

0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 1>that's where that, like the whole origin of engagement rings

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 1>is derived from. And it it's ridiculous. The misogyny and

0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 1>in that is so ridiculous, and it's just like a

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.520
<v Speaker 1>tradition that stuck. And again, I could be entirely wrong.

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly that's what he told me. He's a really

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.960
<v Speaker 1>smart guy. I trust his judgment and his opinion on things,

0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.319
<v Speaker 1>but sometimes he can be complete idiot um. And it

0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 1>could be one of those cases where that's what that

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 1>is going on. But I do take everything with a

0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:16.679
<v Speaker 1>grain of salt when anybody starts a statement with I

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 1>read somewhere, Yeah, I read, uh yeah, I read an

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 1>article on US Weekly about how the engagement rings were

0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 1>this um, well but no, and and then the other

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.200
<v Speaker 1>thing last week too that people seem to focus on,

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.080
<v Speaker 1>which is probably pretty annoying for Kalin and annoying for me.

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I've got really thick skin when it comes to this stuff,

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:35.840
<v Speaker 1>because I just really don't care about what any of

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.400
<v Speaker 1>these people say. For the most part, some of it

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.200
<v Speaker 1>gets under my skin. But um, there's just people that

0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I uh have, you know, not like little respect for,

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:46.840
<v Speaker 1>but they've just gotten they don't have enough insights, really

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 1>have an opinion that's gonna affect me. Um. And and

0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Calin obviously is not less thick skin when it comes

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>to that stuff, But I've just been doing it longer,

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 1>so I guess I'm more used to it. Um. People

0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 1>were saying stuff like, oh, he's he's not gonna give

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 1>her forever, like he doesn't want to get married, blah

0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.880
<v Speaker 1>blah blah blah blah. And I'd like talked to Cal's

0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 1>grandparents about this, where I was like, I don't even

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:08.680
<v Speaker 1>want a wedding. I just want to go to a

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.240
<v Speaker 1>courthouse and do it, and like it's not the concept

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 1>of the marriage essentially that I am not super on

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:17.040
<v Speaker 1>board with. It's just like the whole leading up to it,

0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>the engagement, the wedding planning, and inviting your friends to

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>come celebrate you for a day is terrifying to me.

0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:24.959
<v Speaker 1>It feels like a birthday when I was like in

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:26.640
<v Speaker 1>middle school and I invited a bunch of friends over

0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and no one showed up. I would be terrified that

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>none of my friends would show up to our wedding.

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Um what else. That's that's that's basically the main gist

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:37.560
<v Speaker 1>of it. But yeah, yeah, what did you talk to

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.480
<v Speaker 1>my Oh? Well, I was just like we were so

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I well, I told them that we're gonna get married,

0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 1>and they were like, oh, that's really sweet. And I

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 1>was like, yeah, but Calin's gonna probably want to do

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 1>something extravagant or like whatever. And I was like, if

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>it were up to me, we would just go to

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the courthouse and signed some documents and be done with it.

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 1>So it's just it's it's a big it's a big

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.720
<v Speaker 1>uphill battle for me here. And I don't know if

0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.560
<v Speaker 1>you I don't know if you remember this, but years ago.

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:06.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, I'm rambling here, uh years ago on this podcast.

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe maybe this is even pre jared of help. I

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 1>suck at dating. Uh. My question or my my thoughts

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.280
<v Speaker 1>on marriage were being discussed and I was like, yeah,

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't want to get married ever, but

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 1>if I do get married, I would want it to

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.920
<v Speaker 1>be like not like against my will, but I want

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 1>to be like convinced that it's a good idea because

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 1>that way I know that, like I'm not getting married

0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:32.000
<v Speaker 1>because I am like over excited about the concept of marriage.

0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting married because it's someone that I love and

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to spend the rest of my life. But

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 1>and this is basically exactly how it's playing out, Like

0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't need to get married. Do I want to

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 1>get married, I don't know. But the fact that Klin

0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:44.680
<v Speaker 1>wants to get married is enough of a reason for

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 1>me to want to get married to Kayleen. And that

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of exactly what I described, like six five

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.360
<v Speaker 1>years ago, and never this podcast started, was I'll do it,

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 1>but I don't want to do it, you know what

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean? Yeah, no, I'm sure that makes Caylen feel great.

0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it's I think it should. I don't want

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 1>to get what I'm doing it because I love Kalin.

0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 1>And that's like, of course, that's about as good as

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.679
<v Speaker 1>it could possibly get. If I was like grease, I

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:08.839
<v Speaker 1>was like, I want to marry Kalin like three days

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 1>after meeting here. I think that'd be like sure, he'd

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:12.840
<v Speaker 1>be romantic in a second, but it'd be like a

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 1>flash and plant pain where it's like, but I don't

0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.559
<v Speaker 1>even know this person. So I agree, I would rather

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 1>be with someone who feels like Dean than someone who's

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.320
<v Speaker 1>on the opposite spectrum, which is like, after meeting twenty

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 1>four hours, hey, let's get married, let's get engaged. Because

0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 1>you're like, wait a minute, we're rushing into this. Do

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.320
<v Speaker 1>you actually love me or do you love the idea

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.680
<v Speaker 1>of being with someone? It's not my love of Kalin

0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.679
<v Speaker 1>that's in question. It's the concept of marriage and the

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 1>concept that crap by. Advice for you, Dean would be

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:46.600
<v Speaker 1>that relationships are all about compromising. So who's compromising here?

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.679
<v Speaker 1>Who's compromising? Thank you are definitely compromising. But I think

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Kalin also has compromised quite a bit in your relationship.

0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 1>From an outsiders, please please inform us how that's how

0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 1>you know that's the case. I'm curious to know. I

0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 1>think won her adjusting to your van life, to her

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:04.680
<v Speaker 1>adjusting to the idea that like you need space, you

0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.760
<v Speaker 1>need time away, you know, three, adjusting to the idea

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 1>that you are completely against like big weddings or any

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.920
<v Speaker 1>type of conventional wisdom, and her trying to lean into

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:16.680
<v Speaker 1>that and make sure that you feel comfortable and that

0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.080
<v Speaker 1>you're okay with the idea of us you two getting married,

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.960
<v Speaker 1>but also you know, hey, I do want a celebration.

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Uh like the domestical life. So but o Dean, you

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.280
<v Speaker 1>have also compromised as well. I mean you have to.

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.760
<v Speaker 1>You're invested in two properties with this woman, which is

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:34.160
<v Speaker 1>quite big. And uh, you have definitely domesticated yourself more

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.079
<v Speaker 1>over the past few years because of your love for Kalin.

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I think you guys are doing a great job compromising together.

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 1>My advice specifically with this wedding is that if Calin

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:43.959
<v Speaker 1>does want a day of celebration, I think that you

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.520
<v Speaker 1>guys should compromise. Okay, we want a wedding, but we're

0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 1>on a small wedding, you know, so it's so like

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I think that's great. I think it's a good dialogue

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 1>to have, especially on the podcast, because it's great content

0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 1>and it will get us listeners, which is fantastic. My

0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 1>question for you, Klin, because I want to hear from

0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Calin Moore as well, what are you to say? Well,

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to know your thoughts about engagement rings, because

0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.800
<v Speaker 1>we've heard from Dean about his idea of an engagement

0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 1>ring and his insecurities about it. So what about you,

0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.559
<v Speaker 1>what are your thoughts on either Dean buying you engagement ring,

0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.240
<v Speaker 1>you buying yourself one the whole idea of an engagement ring. Okay,

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.440
<v Speaker 1>but we're coming back to that after she answers this

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 1>to them, to the whole compromise thing. We're coming back

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:34.240
<v Speaker 1>to that. So Calin, I want to hear from you

0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 1>about compromising in the relationship, How Dean is compromised for

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 1>you and how if you will come back to welcome

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:40.360
<v Speaker 1>back to the compromise thing and she can answer your

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 1>question now, sir, I didn't want to interrupt. I just

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 1>wanted to make sure that we come back to the

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.400
<v Speaker 1>compromising because I've got some thoughts on it. Okay, well,

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:46.960
<v Speaker 1>which one do we want to do first? Quickly, you guys,

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:48.600
<v Speaker 1>you can do your question and then we'll come back

0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:50.640
<v Speaker 1>to the thing that I want to discuss. All right, Kaylin,

0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 1>very confusing. I'm so sorry. There's a lot to get

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:54.920
<v Speaker 1>to here. What are your thoughts about engagement rings and

0:14:54.960 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 1>engagement altogether? Um? I I have never been like I

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.600
<v Speaker 1>needed like a huge ring or anything like that, and

0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:07.960
<v Speaker 1>so I was a little embarrassed when Dean. That was

0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.040
<v Speaker 1>when I was like, you shouldn't have said the ring

0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.040
<v Speaker 1>that I wanted. I was like embarrassed by that. But

0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:14.560
<v Speaker 1>also I told him, I was like, I don't care

0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:16.800
<v Speaker 1>the ring size or cut or clarity or anything like that.

0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:18.800
<v Speaker 1>But I went to a jeweler and of course he's

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 1>a good salesman, and he kept going up and up

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:22.560
<v Speaker 1>and up, and I was like, oh, like the two

0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:25.080
<v Speaker 1>care is perfect. And then he kept, you know, getting

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:26.720
<v Speaker 1>higher and higher, and I was like, oh, that's pretty,

0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:30.960
<v Speaker 1>and so I left with the pretty one, and um,

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.280
<v Speaker 1>but I just don't really care. I think like, we

0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 1>already wear rings on our fingers, Like we already are

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>committed to each other, so it doesn't really matter to me.

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.080
<v Speaker 1>But I also like love rings, especially, like that's just

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:43.960
<v Speaker 1>day to day, like I wear rings, so I want

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:46.880
<v Speaker 1>something that I love too. So it's like I don't

0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:48.440
<v Speaker 1>care about the size, but I just wanted to be

0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:52.000
<v Speaker 1>unique and that's But also I'm like, but we already

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 1>wear rings, so it's kind of it's kind of confusing,

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.120
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like navigating it too. But at the end

0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.320
<v Speaker 1>of the day, I really don't care because We're going

0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:00.880
<v Speaker 1>to spend the rest of our lives together, no matter

0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.440
<v Speaker 1>if I switched this ring or not, no matter if

0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I get a cubic or conia ring or not. Yea,

0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.720
<v Speaker 1>I pitched the idea and it was not met with

0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 1>with an open mind because I'm picturing like a gumball

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.120
<v Speaker 1>machine ring. But you can't. I mean, I personally couldn't

0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.440
<v Speaker 1>tell the difference between a cubic or conia ring and

0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 1>like a perfect, really real diamond. Am I an idiot

0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:23.680
<v Speaker 1>for not knowing what a cubic? Yeah? It's like it's

0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:25.520
<v Speaker 1>like the fake diamond studs that you would see in

0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:27.080
<v Speaker 1>like ear rings or rings or something like that that

0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:29.960
<v Speaker 1>you get for like four dollars from like a Claire's

0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.920
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. Right. Yeah, I wouldn't go for

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:37.360
<v Speaker 1>that engage in ring in terms of compromising, but I

0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:39.800
<v Speaker 1>think there's more. I think there could be more conversations

0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:43.360
<v Speaker 1>with that. Um. Okay, so then I want to talk

0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:47.000
<v Speaker 1>about the compromising yeah. Um. So it made pretty clear

0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.800
<v Speaker 1>that Kalin doesn't truly care about like how much how

0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 1>big the engagement ring is, more like, specifically, let's find

0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:55.520
<v Speaker 1>something that's unique to our relationship than I can wear

0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:56.800
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of my life and look down on

0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 1>and be like, oh, this is the ring that Dean

0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:01.200
<v Speaker 1>gave me. Actually, I have a question for you, Calin,

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.200
<v Speaker 1>because we talked about it on this podcast prior, just

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 1>quickly about engagement. Would you ever want to propose to Dean? Yeah,

0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:12.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to, uh what, we're waiting. We're waiting

0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 1>and she keeps talking about it as who knows obviously

0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.840
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have iten yet, but it's going to and uh yeah,

0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:21.560
<v Speaker 1>because when he first put the idea, it was a

0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.440
<v Speaker 1>joke and then I was like, wait, that's really cool

0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 1>that I could be able to like make a day

0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:29.239
<v Speaker 1>special for him, but also that this is another thing

0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:32.320
<v Speaker 1>that I don't really know do people Like people know

0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:35.240
<v Speaker 1>that they're getting engaged, but I wonder how many conversations

0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.280
<v Speaker 1>they're having leading up to it, because we've had a

0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.280
<v Speaker 1>lot and like, I know he bought the ring, and

0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I know I have the ring. The ring is in

0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.680
<v Speaker 1>my possession, so it's like, I don't know. I'm like,

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:46.640
<v Speaker 1>are we talking about this too much? Is it less

0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:48.920
<v Speaker 1>romantic or I don't know? Yeah, wait a minute, Oh

0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:50.800
<v Speaker 1>my god, I forgot about that. Yeah, you have a ring.

0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I bought. We even talking about here, Well, I think

0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I about the ring after the two the episode two

0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.640
<v Speaker 1>podcasts to Go where I got a lot of heat,

0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:01.359
<v Speaker 1>I like went out like a day later, and I

0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.840
<v Speaker 1>already plan on buying it. I was just maybe like venting,

0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.520
<v Speaker 1>and maybe I was venting a little too honestly and candidly.

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:08.520
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I don't know. Maybe it does take a

0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit of the romance out of it. I don't

0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.159
<v Speaker 1>personally think so. I think it's, uh, we're having a

0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:15.160
<v Speaker 1>practical approach to it. Yes, so Dean, you have a ring,

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:19.000
<v Speaker 1>But Calin says that she's not just wanting to but

0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.200
<v Speaker 1>going to propose to you and to also answer your question.

0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it takes the romance out. I mean,

0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:27.320
<v Speaker 1>you people make their own romance, you know, like when

0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:29.320
<v Speaker 1>you really think about it, everything takes the romance out

0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:31.760
<v Speaker 1>of things because it's just the way it is. But

0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:34.960
<v Speaker 1>as a married couple who has a baby, you'll learn

0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:36.919
<v Speaker 1>that you have to create your own romance to a

0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.880
<v Speaker 1>certain extent um. Wow, that's crazy, Calin. So yeah, you're

0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:43.479
<v Speaker 1>gonna so, cal it's gonna be like it's gonna be

0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.879
<v Speaker 1>like the Legends of the Lost temple or whatever. That

0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:47.680
<v Speaker 1>show was one of your kids where you have to

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.600
<v Speaker 1>collect both halfs of the medallion before you can advance

0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:54.639
<v Speaker 1>to the next level. And uh, we're not gonna you know, like,

0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:57.920
<v Speaker 1>if one proposes the other person first, nothing is officially

0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:00.359
<v Speaker 1>set in stone until the other person proposes back to

0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the other person. Okay, I like, how great would it

0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:06.919
<v Speaker 1>be is if you guys both planned a day and

0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.159
<v Speaker 1>you didn't know that you were going to propose to

0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 1>each other and you both started getting down one name,

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.520
<v Speaker 1>you guys like, oh wait, you you're gonna you're doing

0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:15.600
<v Speaker 1>too Wait? Can I go first? No? You you go first?

0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:17.800
<v Speaker 1>You ever? Wait? No, I want to I want to

0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:21.480
<v Speaker 1>go first. So calin, will you have a ring for Dean? Yes,

0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:24.399
<v Speaker 1>it is being made right now. Yeah, And oh my god,

0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:28.760
<v Speaker 1>so this is happening. Yeah, well that's so exciting. I mean,

0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:32.080
<v Speaker 1>what you've known this. I've known that you guys are

0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.959
<v Speaker 1>gonna get engaged at some point, but I've heard so

0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:37.840
<v Speaker 1>many different stories, and I think that is what leads

0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:40.080
<v Speaker 1>to some of these headlines. Because Dean's does such a

0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:42.640
<v Speaker 1>great job on the podcast so personal, I don't want

0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.160
<v Speaker 1>you to ever change up. Sorry, Calinkalen, I I feel

0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:47.920
<v Speaker 1>like in when I relate to your guy's relationship, I'm

0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:51.000
<v Speaker 1>more like you, Kalen, and Dean is much more like Ashley,

0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:53.720
<v Speaker 1>where Ashley is just this open book. And specifically in

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of our relationships, she would say so many

0:19:56.000 --> 0:20:00.040
<v Speaker 1>things and I would get so insecure about them. And

0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:02.879
<v Speaker 1>I remember her and I talking about a multitude of

0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:06.359
<v Speaker 1>things early on in our relationship, both with podcasting or

0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:10.720
<v Speaker 1>brand partnerships, and me being insecure about what people are

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:12.760
<v Speaker 1>going to say about us, you know, about how we're

0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:16.760
<v Speaker 1>insecere or you know, they doubt our our real nous,

0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:20.199
<v Speaker 1>so on and so forth. And I remember Ashley and

0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:21.760
<v Speaker 1>she made this very clear to me, and it was

0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:25.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of a revelation in my head. She's like, we're happy,

0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 1>we're in love. Why would we do things to jeopardize

0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:34.919
<v Speaker 1>our financial stability, our future for some random people and

0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:37.760
<v Speaker 1>what they're gonna say, like that means they're winning. Don't

0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:40.520
<v Speaker 1>let it that bother you. Like, we're happy, we're in love.

0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:42.439
<v Speaker 1>That's all that matters. So that's something that stuck out

0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:44.640
<v Speaker 1>in my head that that's not to cut you off,

0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:47.240
<v Speaker 1>but uh, don't go so one of the reasons that

0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I h I say outlandish maybe sometimes things is because

0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:53.960
<v Speaker 1>one of the things that really bugs me, and we

0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:55.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of touched on a little bit earlier too, one

0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:58.800
<v Speaker 1>thing that really bugs me is when people only show

0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.840
<v Speaker 1>the best sides of the relationship, whether it's on Instagram

0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 1>or talking about it with friends, when they only say

0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:08.280
<v Speaker 1>how perfect and great everything always is, and then come

0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:10.160
<v Speaker 1>to find out three months later they're broken up because

0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.120
<v Speaker 1>they've been miserable the whole time. And I wanted to

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:16.200
<v Speaker 1>to say that I admire you and actually a lot too,

0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:20.800
<v Speaker 1>because you guys are very honest and candid about your relationship, um,

0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:22.720
<v Speaker 1>and it's so it's helpful in a lot of ways too.

0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:24.360
<v Speaker 1>But you don't get a lot of that candor when

0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:26.919
<v Speaker 1>it comes to relationships these days. So like, that's one

0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:29.040
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons why I tend to go in the

0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:31.680
<v Speaker 1>complete opposite direction, where I'm like, I'm gonna I'm gonna

0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:34.400
<v Speaker 1>say all the little things that are not super great,

0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:36.800
<v Speaker 1>and then people will like hear me say these things,

0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:38.960
<v Speaker 1>write an article about it, and they're like, wow, Dean's

0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:41.639
<v Speaker 1>an asshole, and I'm like, no, I'm just talking about

0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:44.840
<v Speaker 1>the things that normal relationships struggle with that you don't

0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:47.439
<v Speaker 1>see other people talking about on a regular basis because

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.840
<v Speaker 1>people are too scared to share it publicly for whatever reason. Um.

0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:52.679
<v Speaker 1>And so you you do a really good job of that.

0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:54.359
<v Speaker 1>I think that's one of my favorite things about you

0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:56.520
<v Speaker 1>and and actually rubs off on you in a good

0:21:56.560 --> 0:21:58.800
<v Speaker 1>way in that in that sense where you do share

0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:01.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of your stuff very publicly and openly, which

0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:02.719
<v Speaker 1>is important and it's helpful I think in a lot

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:06.160
<v Speaker 1>of ways. Well, thank you. And that was definitely all Ashley,

0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:08.600
<v Speaker 1>because I was much more reserved years ago, and she

0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:11.400
<v Speaker 1>has brought out a side of me that I've always had,

0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:15.080
<v Speaker 1>but I've always been afraid to display publicly. Um and

0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:18.200
<v Speaker 1>now I'm not as afraid anymore because of her. And

0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:21.479
<v Speaker 1>also I think you and with how really you are

0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:24.280
<v Speaker 1>about your relationship Dean specifically on the podcast, shows the

0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:27.320
<v Speaker 1>strength of your relationship, because if you were truly insecure

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:30.400
<v Speaker 1>about some of these things and had doubt in your

0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:33.640
<v Speaker 1>head about your relationship with Kalen, you wouldn't display this publicly.

0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:35.359
<v Speaker 1>You would keep it on the inside. And then, like

0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:38.160
<v Speaker 1>you said, you like nobody knows anything about your relationship

0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:39.480
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden three months you guys

0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:41.600
<v Speaker 1>are broken up. People are like, what happenss like, well,

0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:43.800
<v Speaker 1>because you don't know what happened behind closed doors. But

0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:46.159
<v Speaker 1>the fact that you're so open and honest about your relationship,

0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I feel like shows that you guys are in such

0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:51.440
<v Speaker 1>a strong place that you're like, yeah, that's we're doing great,

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:53.280
<v Speaker 1>but yeah we have problems. We're gonna talk about them

0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:57.399
<v Speaker 1>on on the podcast because that's like we're fine, we're happy.

0:22:57.520 --> 0:22:59.720
<v Speaker 1>It's just yeah, it really it really irks me seeing

0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:02.320
<v Speaker 1>people only showing the good things. And I get it,

0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:03.879
<v Speaker 1>like you have every right to share what you want

0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:06.120
<v Speaker 1>about your relationship or keep SECRETI about your relationship, whatever

0:23:06.160 --> 0:23:09.320
<v Speaker 1>you want, but it's just it's just I don't know

0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:13.719
<v Speaker 1>and klins. It sees me, uh like roll my eyes

0:23:13.960 --> 0:23:15.879
<v Speaker 1>or do a bunch of stuff like that whenever we

0:23:15.920 --> 0:23:18.080
<v Speaker 1>see someone posting stuff like that, and I'm like, oh my,

0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:21.159
<v Speaker 1>I would I like audibly always go like oh my gosh,

0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:23.440
<v Speaker 1>enough like we don't we don't care, we don't care

0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:26.080
<v Speaker 1>how perfect your life is made up to be through

0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:27.920
<v Speaker 1>your lens that you're telling the rest of the world,

0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:31.159
<v Speaker 1>like just be real with us for a second. Um,

0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:33.760
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, bro, but it gets likes man and all.

0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you just got a cater I guess, I guess,

0:23:37.880 --> 0:23:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I guess. But anyway, fact I want. I want to

0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:41.520
<v Speaker 1>bring it back to what we were talking about earlier.

0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:44.119
<v Speaker 1>You're talking about compromising, and you were saying that Kalin

0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:46.920
<v Speaker 1>has compromised a bunch, and I'm not saying she hasn't.

0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:50.560
<v Speaker 1>But come on, I think I compromise a little bit

0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:53.479
<v Speaker 1>more in this relationship than she has. Dean is very

0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:58.080
<v Speaker 1>passionate about this topic. Seriously, I've known boo hoo. Calin

0:23:58.119 --> 0:24:00.320
<v Speaker 1>gets to ride around and the Mercedes Van in and

0:24:00.400 --> 0:24:03.040
<v Speaker 1>travel to places she's never been to. You before, Oh,

0:24:03.119 --> 0:24:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Calin has to travel with her boyfriend who loves taking

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:08.960
<v Speaker 1>photographs to new countries she's never been to before, while

0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:13.800
<v Speaker 1>he drives everywhere and and plans everything. Yes, but just

0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:16.240
<v Speaker 1>because it's a good compromise doesn't mean I haven't compromised.

0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:18.040
<v Speaker 1>It's great, and I'm like a better person for it,

0:24:18.080 --> 0:24:24.080
<v Speaker 1>but I still have compromised. I disagree with the terminology entirely,

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:26.919
<v Speaker 1>but it's good. It's a good compromise. Me. On the

0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:28.919
<v Speaker 1>other hand, here I am. I bought a house in

0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the Bourbs with my girl. Is it bad? Is it

0:24:32.119 --> 0:24:36.000
<v Speaker 1>a bad compromise? I think you own a house. I

0:24:36.119 --> 0:24:37.919
<v Speaker 1>was talking to Calin about this just last week. I

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:40.040
<v Speaker 1>don't think I'm cool anymore. I used to think I

0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:42.159
<v Speaker 1>was the coolest guy in the world, walking around like

0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:45.239
<v Speaker 1>a smug little bat weevil. And now I don't think

0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm cool. I lost my edge. So in a lot

0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:50.960
<v Speaker 1>of ways, I've I've given my edge away. I've turned

0:24:51.000 --> 0:24:53.800
<v Speaker 1>my edge in, and I've picked up a set of

0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:56.800
<v Speaker 1>cutlery because I love cooking in our kitchen in our

0:24:57.000 --> 0:25:00.640
<v Speaker 1>suburban house in Las Vegas. But the point shows the same.

0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:03.200
<v Speaker 1>The show is over. I lost my edge, I gave

0:25:03.200 --> 0:25:06.840
<v Speaker 1>my edge away, and I traded it in for an

0:25:06.880 --> 0:25:10.720
<v Speaker 1>engagement ring and a dog. And here I am. Stupid dog,

0:25:11.080 --> 0:25:17.040
<v Speaker 1>stupid dog. Come on, I'm happy, Yes, I'm happy, but

0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not nearly as cool as I was three years ago.

0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:23.199
<v Speaker 1>You have to be cool. I think I do have

0:25:23.280 --> 0:25:26.080
<v Speaker 1>to be cool. It's where I get my power from. Um.

0:25:26.160 --> 0:25:28.199
<v Speaker 1>But I still have the power. I still have the

0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:30.080
<v Speaker 1>ability to do the things I used to do. I guess,

0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:32.119
<v Speaker 1>but I just I want to. I wanna set the

0:25:32.119 --> 0:25:36.480
<v Speaker 1>record straight. That's that was my satting record straight basically Okay,

0:25:36.520 --> 0:25:38.520
<v Speaker 1>got it? I figured. I was like waiting for the

0:25:38.560 --> 0:25:40.960
<v Speaker 1>next statement. I'm like, what record is? He said right now?

0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:43.920
<v Speaker 1>And I bought a house with my lovely Boo next

0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:47.000
<v Speaker 1>to her grandparents and a suburban part of Las Vegas.

0:25:47.880 --> 0:25:52.720
<v Speaker 1>And I do home remodeling things for my boo thing.

0:25:54.960 --> 0:26:00.720
<v Speaker 1>And two things. I have two things. One I can

0:26:00.800 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 1>relate to, Uh, you feeling insecure, your lack of coolness.

0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:06.399
<v Speaker 1>It's something that I feel all the time. And I

0:26:06.480 --> 0:26:08.960
<v Speaker 1>talked to Ashley about this, how I've been unable to

0:26:09.000 --> 0:26:10.840
<v Speaker 1>go to the gym as much. I've been unable to

0:26:10.840 --> 0:26:13.680
<v Speaker 1>do things that like make me feel better about myself,

0:26:13.720 --> 0:26:18.120
<v Speaker 1>whether that's playing sports or even just um doing things

0:26:18.200 --> 0:26:20.840
<v Speaker 1>independently because I feel like when I do things independently,

0:26:20.880 --> 0:26:23.760
<v Speaker 1>like I feel cooler in myself. And so there is

0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:26.120
<v Speaker 1>this sense of like you lose some individuality when you're

0:26:26.119 --> 0:26:28.320
<v Speaker 1>in a relationship. And if you guys have kids, oh,

0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:31.560
<v Speaker 1>just you wait, you really start losing your individuality then.

0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:37.560
<v Speaker 1>But having said that, it, you know, like we talked

0:26:37.560 --> 0:26:41.120
<v Speaker 1>about Dean, life is about compromising, prioritizing because you can't

0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:43.680
<v Speaker 1>have everything. So in my head, I always go back

0:26:43.680 --> 0:26:45.679
<v Speaker 1>to would I rather feel the way I do and

0:26:45.720 --> 0:26:47.960
<v Speaker 1>be in the situation I am right now, or go

0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:52.359
<v Speaker 1>back to feeling a little bit more self confident in

0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:54.600
<v Speaker 1>myself and then going back to the situation I had

0:26:54.640 --> 0:26:56.760
<v Speaker 1>prior to Ashley. And it's not even a question like

0:26:56.760 --> 0:27:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I'd I'd much rather be here now. But so it's

0:27:00.880 --> 0:27:03.720
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of like trying to find that balance of Okay,

0:27:03.720 --> 0:27:05.879
<v Speaker 1>I gotta do things for myself, but also put my

0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:08.920
<v Speaker 1>wife and kid first. So I understand where you're coming from, Dean,

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:12.520
<v Speaker 1>But secondly, I do want to I want to continue

0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:14.879
<v Speaker 1>talking about compromise because I feel like Calin still hasn't

0:27:15.000 --> 0:27:18.520
<v Speaker 1>been unable to answer the question. So Calin, let's talk

0:27:18.560 --> 0:27:21.560
<v Speaker 1>about compromise. What what Okay, let's start off. Let's let's

0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:23.359
<v Speaker 1>think Dean feel pretty good here. What are some of

0:27:23.359 --> 0:27:25.919
<v Speaker 1>the things that Dean has compromised for you? And then

0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:28.159
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about some of the compromise that

0:27:28.200 --> 0:27:30.040
<v Speaker 1>you've made for Dean. I'm going to step away from

0:27:30.040 --> 0:27:33.520
<v Speaker 1>the microphone. I'm gonna step away from the microphone. I'm

0:27:33.560 --> 0:27:35.159
<v Speaker 1>gonna help a cup of coffee so that way she

0:27:35.359 --> 0:27:40.480
<v Speaker 1>has the chance to speak um the ways he's compromised, yeah,

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:42.720
<v Speaker 1>like with the house, and he has adapted to my

0:27:42.760 --> 0:27:47.520
<v Speaker 1>lifestyle for better for worse. But I think, like you know,

0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:50.680
<v Speaker 1>we're happy at the end of the day, Like he

0:27:51.040 --> 0:27:53.560
<v Speaker 1>probably could have lived this nomadic lifestyle for the rest

0:27:53.600 --> 0:27:56.480
<v Speaker 1>of his life. But I think we're pretty happy and

0:27:56.800 --> 0:27:59.720
<v Speaker 1>where we're at. But I do think like I got

0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:03.160
<v Speaker 1>the best are under the stick in terms of compromise. Um,

0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Like you know, I like myself a lot more. I'm

0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:09.720
<v Speaker 1>like more adventurous, outdoorsy, and I've grown a lot in

0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:12.480
<v Speaker 1>our relationship and that's because he pushes me, and I'm

0:28:12.480 --> 0:28:15.959
<v Speaker 1>like mad in the moment if we're like hiking and

0:28:16.040 --> 0:28:20.520
<v Speaker 1>I have to do this scary climb or jump. Um.

0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:23.359
<v Speaker 1>But like I definitely have compromised too, Like I was

0:28:23.400 --> 0:28:26.080
<v Speaker 1>a pageant girl and now I'm living in a van

0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:30.560
<v Speaker 1>part time. But it's good. He's so dramatic, but it

0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:33.200
<v Speaker 1>is like I I agree, I got the better in

0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:48.400
<v Speaker 1>a stick, and my compromises haven't been as hard as his. Well,

0:28:48.520 --> 0:28:51.040
<v Speaker 1>what are some of the things that you've compromised for

0:28:51.080 --> 0:28:56.040
<v Speaker 1>yourself to be with Dean? Um? Just like being more

0:28:56.080 --> 0:28:59.600
<v Speaker 1>nomadic I think is the biggest thing. Like I really

0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:02.360
<v Speaker 1>liked prior to him to be at home and I

0:29:02.400 --> 0:29:06.680
<v Speaker 1>wasn't super adventurous, and I just I liked my routine

0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:09.040
<v Speaker 1>lifestyle and waking up every day. It was kind of

0:29:09.040 --> 0:29:12.440
<v Speaker 1>the same thing. So just adapting to a different line

0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:19.600
<v Speaker 1>like being more mobile and uh less restricted to a calendar.

0:29:19.720 --> 0:29:22.560
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know, Well, I guess I want to

0:29:22.560 --> 0:29:26.280
<v Speaker 1>talk a little bit about how you've compromised. Dean's not

0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:27.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna like this. Dean's not gonna like this at all,

0:29:27.800 --> 0:29:29.480
<v Speaker 1>but we're gonna talk about it for a second, how

0:29:29.520 --> 0:29:35.560
<v Speaker 1>you've compromised emotionally, because I do think that Dean is

0:29:35.840 --> 0:29:37.600
<v Speaker 1>First of all, let's just say this, Dean is one

0:29:37.640 --> 0:29:39.840
<v Speaker 1>of the most wonderfully human beings on the face of

0:29:39.880 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 1>the earth. I'm not saying this to kiss you're asking.

0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:45.600
<v Speaker 1>It's true, Like there are a few people, and Ashley

0:29:45.640 --> 0:29:50.040
<v Speaker 1>and I've talked about this before that the Dean is

0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:53.400
<v Speaker 1>one of those people that you meet and he immediately

0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:57.920
<v Speaker 1>makes you feel good, and he immediately makes you feel

0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:02.120
<v Speaker 1>warm and welcoming, and he's so attentive, and he's just

0:30:02.200 --> 0:30:05.520
<v Speaker 1>a wonderful human being. But I do think that you

0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:07.600
<v Speaker 1>if I was like if I was in a relationship

0:30:07.640 --> 0:30:11.200
<v Speaker 1>with Dean, like mentally and emotionally, there'd be a lot

0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:13.240
<v Speaker 1>of compromise that I would have to make internally because

0:30:13.320 --> 0:30:17.280
<v Speaker 1>like him jumping out of a freaking plane would be

0:30:17.320 --> 0:30:20.640
<v Speaker 1>something that I would have to be like, I can't

0:30:20.680 --> 0:30:22.880
<v Speaker 1>like if I if Ashley like every other week it's like, okay,

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go skydive again. I'm like, okay, I'll just

0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:27.080
<v Speaker 1>have a day where I'm convinced you're going to die

0:30:27.280 --> 0:30:30.280
<v Speaker 1>again and uh, okay, have fun. Like I'll just be

0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:32.800
<v Speaker 1>in bed with my eyes staring to the ceiling, just

0:30:32.840 --> 0:30:36.280
<v Speaker 1>waiting for the phone call that the parachute didn't open. No,

0:30:36.480 --> 0:30:39.840
<v Speaker 1>that's that's true. It took yeah, but like it took

0:30:39.840 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. But Dean's also the type of person who,

0:30:42.760 --> 0:30:44.480
<v Speaker 1>like I could never tell him not to do something,

0:30:44.520 --> 0:30:46.160
<v Speaker 1>and he's like, definitely going to do it if I

0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:48.040
<v Speaker 1>if I'm like, oh I don't love that, you know,

0:30:48.600 --> 0:30:51.560
<v Speaker 1>so if anything, if somebody scares me, I just encourage

0:30:51.600 --> 0:30:52.960
<v Speaker 1>him more. And then he's like, maybe I don't want

0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:57.280
<v Speaker 1>to do it. But with the side hiving, I yeah,

0:30:57.320 --> 0:30:59.080
<v Speaker 1>it took a while, and then he was doing this

0:30:59.120 --> 0:31:01.520
<v Speaker 1>crazy hike and texted me and he's like, if I

0:31:01.520 --> 0:31:03.800
<v Speaker 1>don't make it back, like there's something in my glove

0:31:03.840 --> 0:31:06.400
<v Speaker 1>box for you. And that took a like and not

0:31:06.520 --> 0:31:08.440
<v Speaker 1>hearing from him for a week and being like is

0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:12.440
<v Speaker 1>he okay? Like did someone take him? Is he fine?

0:31:12.640 --> 0:31:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Is he hurt? Uh? And I guess I just kind

0:31:16.840 --> 0:31:19.080
<v Speaker 1>of that's it. I like close my eyes for a

0:31:19.120 --> 0:31:22.480
<v Speaker 1>week and pretend everything's fine, and then eventually eventually he'll

0:31:22.480 --> 0:31:25.200
<v Speaker 1>text me, and I'm like, see that is for me.

0:31:25.360 --> 0:31:28.040
<v Speaker 1>That would be a part of the conversation of compromising,

0:31:28.160 --> 0:31:32.960
<v Speaker 1>because I think Dean talks about rightfully so about his

0:31:33.040 --> 0:31:36.800
<v Speaker 1>feeling of coolness and individuality and having to do this

0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:39.920
<v Speaker 1>because it makes him happy, which is is that's a

0:31:39.920 --> 0:31:42.520
<v Speaker 1>part of relationship. Like I know I'm certainly not as

0:31:42.520 --> 0:31:45.040
<v Speaker 1>extreme as Dean, and I'm going to sound like such

0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:49.960
<v Speaker 1>a whimp, but you don't like playing softball for me

0:31:50.080 --> 0:31:52.880
<v Speaker 1>is one of those things, you know, like I need

0:31:52.920 --> 0:31:54.720
<v Speaker 1>to do these things. I need to just like get

0:31:54.720 --> 0:31:57.760
<v Speaker 1>out and throw a baseball or get out and play golf,

0:31:57.800 --> 0:32:02.400
<v Speaker 1>like play sports, just run do anything. Um. So luckily

0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:04.160
<v Speaker 1>you know I don't have to put the stress on Ashley.

0:32:04.200 --> 0:32:06.280
<v Speaker 1>But my point being is that, like I totally get

0:32:06.320 --> 0:32:07.840
<v Speaker 1>where Dean comes from. He's like, I need to go

0:32:07.840 --> 0:32:09.560
<v Speaker 1>away for a week and not be around my phone.

0:32:09.880 --> 0:32:12.480
<v Speaker 1>But that is also a compromise for you, I feel like,

0:32:12.560 --> 0:32:17.160
<v Speaker 1>because that's stressful. That's so stressful, Like this is your life, partner,

0:32:17.200 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 1>this is something that you want to spend the rest

0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:19.480
<v Speaker 1>of your life with, and then all of a sudden,

0:32:19.520 --> 0:32:21.200
<v Speaker 1>it's like for a few days you have to just

0:32:21.240 --> 0:32:25.400
<v Speaker 1>be like, Okay, I hope he's not dead. Yeah, but

0:32:25.520 --> 0:32:30.600
<v Speaker 1>here's my take on that really fast, um please, I

0:32:30.040 --> 0:32:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I think from the beginning of our relationship, I've always

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:36.040
<v Speaker 1>made it clear that I don't want us to uh

0:32:36.360 --> 0:32:38.480
<v Speaker 1>need each other, you know what I mean, Like I

0:32:38.520 --> 0:32:40.040
<v Speaker 1>want us to want each other. I want us to

0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:41.520
<v Speaker 1>love each other, but I don't want us to need

0:32:41.560 --> 0:32:44.040
<v Speaker 1>each other. And we we've kind of gotten away from

0:32:44.040 --> 0:32:46.400
<v Speaker 1>it a little bit, and COVID definitely put a wrench

0:32:46.440 --> 0:32:47.920
<v Speaker 1>in the in the system a little bit when it

0:32:48.000 --> 0:32:50.240
<v Speaker 1>came to that. But like I want to be I

0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:51.760
<v Speaker 1>want her to be able to leave for a week

0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:53.640
<v Speaker 1>and do whatever she wants to do with her friends

0:32:53.840 --> 0:32:56.120
<v Speaker 1>and not have to worry about what is going on

0:32:56.160 --> 0:32:58.120
<v Speaker 1>with me in regard to like if I'm okay with

0:32:58.160 --> 0:33:00.000
<v Speaker 1>her being gone and vice versa. You know what I mean,

0:33:00.640 --> 0:33:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Because I think it's like the codependency. You can get

0:33:02.840 --> 0:33:05.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty bad at certain points in relationships where it's like

0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I and and maybe it's selfish, where like I don't

0:33:08.520 --> 0:33:11.280
<v Speaker 1>want to feel guilty about going skydiving or going to

0:33:11.320 --> 0:33:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Pakistan for three weeks because I'm trying to ingraine this

0:33:14.240 --> 0:33:16.960
<v Speaker 1>idea of like being independent and not necessarily needing the

0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:19.040
<v Speaker 1>other person. And it changes, I'm sure when you have

0:33:19.040 --> 0:33:22.360
<v Speaker 1>a kid and all that stuff, But um, I've been,

0:33:22.520 --> 0:33:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I've been. I've been trying to drive that point home

0:33:24.320 --> 0:33:27.320
<v Speaker 1>to the best of my ability, and we, uh, we've

0:33:27.360 --> 0:33:28.920
<v Speaker 1>done a pretty good job of it. But there are

0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:33.360
<v Speaker 1>times where maybe we struggle with it a little bit. Yeah,

0:33:33.520 --> 0:33:36.640
<v Speaker 1>more so more so her. Well, how so, how do

0:33:36.680 --> 0:33:39.840
<v Speaker 1>you struggle with Kalen? I think I think that's exactly

0:33:39.840 --> 0:33:42.000
<v Speaker 1>what it was when COVID. I became like so dependent

0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:46.080
<v Speaker 1>on him during COVID and now I've just been like

0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:48.719
<v Speaker 1>it was right when things started to open up, when

0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:50.680
<v Speaker 1>I was adjusting, like, oh crap, like I won't have

0:33:50.760 --> 0:33:52.840
<v Speaker 1>him here all the time. And this is what life

0:33:52.920 --> 0:33:55.680
<v Speaker 1>was pre pandemic was him like going out, us being

0:33:55.720 --> 0:33:57.400
<v Speaker 1>together for a week, him being gone for a week,

0:33:57.480 --> 0:34:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and it took a little bit of adjustment. But now

0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:01.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, yeah, he's going to Pakistan for a month

0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:09.200
<v Speaker 1>and be fine. Yeah. I think unfortunately for Dean, the

0:34:09.360 --> 0:34:13.680
<v Speaker 1>longer you are in a relationship with someone, just the

0:34:13.800 --> 0:34:17.000
<v Speaker 1>natural course of things, the more dependent you become on them.

0:34:17.080 --> 0:34:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Not like you said, I mean there's a sense like,

0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:23.239
<v Speaker 1>of course, like for me personally, I want to be

0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:26.040
<v Speaker 1>with Ashley, but there is a part of me that

0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:28.640
<v Speaker 1>needs to be with Ashley now. Now it's also different

0:34:28.640 --> 0:34:31.440
<v Speaker 1>with Dawston. That's a big difference. But even like I

0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:36.680
<v Speaker 1>think back before Dawson, like if if we were to

0:34:36.840 --> 0:34:39.560
<v Speaker 1>break up, I don't know, there is a I don't know.

0:34:39.640 --> 0:34:41.680
<v Speaker 1>It's it's tough, not that it would take a while

0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:45.280
<v Speaker 1>for me to get out of the mindset of needing someone.

0:34:45.440 --> 0:34:47.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I'm articulating that well, but it's

0:34:47.920 --> 0:34:51.000
<v Speaker 1>just it's it's tough, you know, because I do believe

0:34:51.040 --> 0:34:52.880
<v Speaker 1>that the longer you are with someone, the more dependent

0:34:52.920 --> 0:34:55.319
<v Speaker 1>you become on them, and it's just the natural course

0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:57.440
<v Speaker 1>of things. So that's tough. Yeah, I don't know, they're

0:34:57.480 --> 0:35:00.680
<v Speaker 1>hard there are parts of it too where and I

0:35:00.680 --> 0:35:03.080
<v Speaker 1>mean we've we've fallen in line with that like ideology

0:35:03.080 --> 0:35:07.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot too, And it's funny to see both of us,

0:35:07.200 --> 0:35:10.200
<v Speaker 1>like we start slacking in certain areas that we know

0:35:10.239 --> 0:35:12.200
<v Speaker 1>the other person is going to be more attentive to,

0:35:12.400 --> 0:35:15.400
<v Speaker 1>like like even like simple things like around the house,

0:35:15.480 --> 0:35:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm not gonna worry about memorizing um codes for

0:35:19.520 --> 0:35:22.160
<v Speaker 1>things because I know Kalin has all those things figured out.

0:35:22.200 --> 0:35:24.680
<v Speaker 1>So it's like normally I would obviously have to have

0:35:24.760 --> 0:35:26.600
<v Speaker 1>to have those things down and like figure it out.

0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't know my pin number to my to

0:35:28.400 --> 0:35:30.560
<v Speaker 1>my debit card because why would I need it when

0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Klin knows the pin number to my debit card? You

0:35:33.160 --> 0:35:35.719
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. Like there's stupid things like that

0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:40.200
<v Speaker 1>where I just like fully have just raised the memory

0:35:40.239 --> 0:35:42.200
<v Speaker 1>receptor of my brain because I don't need to anymore

0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:43.880
<v Speaker 1>because Calin knows it, and I'm sure she has the

0:35:43.920 --> 0:35:46.360
<v Speaker 1>same things for me to Like, Yeah, I've definitely become

0:35:46.480 --> 0:35:50.120
<v Speaker 1>dumber since being in a related I feel so stupid.

0:35:50.400 --> 0:35:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I really do feel that I talked about this really

0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:54.880
<v Speaker 1>because we're so because there are so many things that,

0:35:54.920 --> 0:35:56.640
<v Speaker 1>like you said, I used to be responsible for I

0:35:56.640 --> 0:35:59.040
<v Speaker 1>don't have to be with Ashley, and there's so many

0:35:59.040 --> 0:36:03.040
<v Speaker 1>things that she's not responsible for because of me. Um,

0:36:03.080 --> 0:36:04.759
<v Speaker 1>Like we were talking about this yesterday when we were

0:36:04.800 --> 0:36:07.359
<v Speaker 1>going through the airport and Ashley used to have a

0:36:07.400 --> 0:36:11.920
<v Speaker 1>great sense of direction. She still does, but now, like

0:36:12.000 --> 0:36:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, she's constantly walking in the wrong way. So

0:36:15.680 --> 0:36:18.080
<v Speaker 1>and yesterday she's like, you know why this has happened

0:36:18.280 --> 0:36:21.319
<v Speaker 1>because I'm so used to you just leading the way

0:36:21.360 --> 0:36:23.239
<v Speaker 1>that now I don't need to know where I'm going.

0:36:23.840 --> 0:36:25.279
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, yeah, I guess that kind of makes

0:36:25.280 --> 0:36:27.080
<v Speaker 1>sense because I'm always like this way, this way. Come,

0:36:27.760 --> 0:36:30.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, Yeah, no, that makes sense. Kylin is um come,

0:36:30.680 --> 0:36:32.960
<v Speaker 1>did the same thing just the other day. She leaves

0:36:33.000 --> 0:36:35.880
<v Speaker 1>the hotel lobby and she turns right, and I was like, Kylin,

0:36:35.920 --> 0:36:38.040
<v Speaker 1>we've turned We've left the lobby like seven times and

0:36:38.080 --> 0:36:40.960
<v Speaker 1>we've turned left every single time. Why would you turn right?

0:36:41.960 --> 0:36:45.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Okay, well we're going left again for

0:36:45.120 --> 0:36:49.080
<v Speaker 1>the eighth time. Um, I don't know. Yeah, So so

0:36:49.160 --> 0:36:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I agree with what you're saying. It's it's a lot

0:36:51.080 --> 0:36:54.320
<v Speaker 1>and Um, every day with Kalin is on charted territory

0:36:54.360 --> 0:36:56.799
<v Speaker 1>for me. Because my longest relationship before Klin was a

0:36:56.880 --> 0:36:59.800
<v Speaker 1>year and it was like tumultuous on an offer a

0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:03.239
<v Speaker 1>kind of thing. So, um, I'm learning as I go

0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:07.400
<v Speaker 1>here with the relationship, and fortunately and unfortunately at the

0:37:07.440 --> 0:37:10.120
<v Speaker 1>same time, like a lot of that has aired publicly,

0:37:10.560 --> 0:37:12.439
<v Speaker 1>and I put my foot in my mouth every step

0:37:12.440 --> 0:37:15.440
<v Speaker 1>of the way. But like I said, like like when

0:37:15.480 --> 0:37:18.239
<v Speaker 1>it came to um Calin, because Calin just mentioned too

0:37:18.280 --> 0:37:20.399
<v Speaker 1>how she didn't love how I was mentioning talking about

0:37:20.400 --> 0:37:23.520
<v Speaker 1>the ring and stuff like that, and I'm not like,

0:37:23.680 --> 0:37:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not like lying about anything. I'm not making anything up.

0:37:26.120 --> 0:37:27.960
<v Speaker 1>And so I feel like since I'm being honest about it,

0:37:28.000 --> 0:37:30.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm able to talk about it. Sure the like discretion

0:37:30.840 --> 0:37:34.719
<v Speaker 1>could be a little bit better sometimes and and I'm sarcastic,

0:37:34.760 --> 0:37:37.680
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not like, I'm not like lying about things,

0:37:37.719 --> 0:37:40.520
<v Speaker 1>and so um, I'm just learning as I go. I

0:37:40.560 --> 0:37:42.160
<v Speaker 1>guess that's kind of what it is. And the same

0:37:42.160 --> 0:37:43.480
<v Speaker 1>to you. I mean, you've never been married, you've never

0:37:43.480 --> 0:37:45.279
<v Speaker 1>been a father before, so every day you're learning something

0:37:45.280 --> 0:37:47.359
<v Speaker 1>new and all that kind of stuff. It's just it's

0:37:47.360 --> 0:37:49.360
<v Speaker 1>a it's a it's a tough world out there, you know.

0:37:50.160 --> 0:37:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Can I ask a quick random question, what is the

0:37:52.480 --> 0:37:55.319
<v Speaker 1>battery life of your computer? Right now? Oh? How did

0:37:55.320 --> 0:37:58.160
<v Speaker 1>you know? She just brought the catrge over. My point

0:37:58.160 --> 0:38:00.319
<v Speaker 1>being is that this is a great example of what

0:38:00.360 --> 0:38:03.200
<v Speaker 1>a relationship is all about, because so many times throughout

0:38:03.200 --> 0:38:07.440
<v Speaker 1>this podcast, Dean either one his computer phone dies midway

0:38:07.440 --> 0:38:09.400
<v Speaker 1>through the podcast because he's like, up, it died, I

0:38:09.440 --> 0:38:11.880
<v Speaker 1>forgot to charge it. Or two we have to stop

0:38:11.880 --> 0:38:14.959
<v Speaker 1>a conversation midway because he's like, I'm at one percent,

0:38:15.000 --> 0:38:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm about to die. And then here we are. Kaylin

0:38:18.160 --> 0:38:20.680
<v Speaker 1>is here and she's she sees the battery left going low,

0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:23.120
<v Speaker 1>and she realizes, let me not interrupt and let me

0:38:23.160 --> 0:38:25.279
<v Speaker 1>just go quietly grab a charger. And so you can

0:38:25.320 --> 0:38:28.160
<v Speaker 1>see how like little things like that make a wonderful relationship.

0:38:28.200 --> 0:38:30.719
<v Speaker 1>For the record, the computer battery would have lasted until

0:38:30.719 --> 0:38:32.359
<v Speaker 1>the end of this episode, and the only reason I

0:38:32.360 --> 0:38:35.920
<v Speaker 1>know that is because the episode is now over. Um, Jared,

0:38:35.920 --> 0:38:37.880
<v Speaker 1>thanks for letting us have an open form discussion with

0:38:37.920 --> 0:38:40.520
<v Speaker 1>you about this. We really appreciate it, Caylin, appreciate it.

0:38:40.680 --> 0:38:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Don't thank me. Thank Oh my god, you guys are

0:38:43.080 --> 0:38:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the one who did amazingly. Uh. If that's a word

0:38:46.040 --> 0:38:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I think it is, Uh, thank you for being so

0:38:48.719 --> 0:38:50.919
<v Speaker 1>open and honest. And let me say one thing before

0:38:50.960 --> 0:38:52.960
<v Speaker 1>we wrap and then you guys can finish up. Uh.

0:38:53.160 --> 0:38:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I just want to say that I think that it's

0:38:55.320 --> 0:38:58.560
<v Speaker 1>very romantic what you guys do, Kaylin. I understand that

0:38:58.680 --> 0:39:01.560
<v Speaker 1>it could be super annoying, and I get it when

0:39:01.560 --> 0:39:03.680
<v Speaker 1>all these people are saying things about your relationship that

0:39:03.760 --> 0:39:08.840
<v Speaker 1>you know and are true. Um, but I think I

0:39:08.880 --> 0:39:11.319
<v Speaker 1>agree with Dean where he says that it's important to

0:39:11.320 --> 0:39:16.640
<v Speaker 1>have these conversations openly publicly, because I think what you

0:39:16.680 --> 0:39:20.360
<v Speaker 1>guys are doing is very romantic. Because I know friends

0:39:20.480 --> 0:39:23.359
<v Speaker 1>who don't talk about these things and struggle in their

0:39:23.400 --> 0:39:26.719
<v Speaker 1>relationship because we always say, like, what's the most part

0:39:26.719 --> 0:39:30.000
<v Speaker 1>of part of you know, port and part of a relationship? Communication? Communication, communication,

0:39:30.360 --> 0:39:33.120
<v Speaker 1>And it's like that word just keeps being repeated over

0:39:33.120 --> 0:39:35.240
<v Speaker 1>and over and over again, like communication. You're like, Okay,

0:39:35.280 --> 0:39:38.000
<v Speaker 1>what does that mean? Communication? Like just saying hi to

0:39:38.040 --> 0:39:40.839
<v Speaker 1>each other? But this is what it's about. That's this

0:39:40.880 --> 0:39:43.000
<v Speaker 1>is the communication that we talk about that is very

0:39:43.040 --> 0:39:46.360
<v Speaker 1>important within the relationship, being open and honest and working

0:39:46.360 --> 0:39:49.040
<v Speaker 1>through things. UM. So thank you for doing that. Thank

0:39:49.040 --> 0:39:50.520
<v Speaker 1>you for doing it publicly because I think a lot

0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:52.360
<v Speaker 1>of people will enjoy this and I want to truck

0:39:52.440 --> 0:39:55.520
<v Speaker 1>sue me. Oh my god. Anyways, Yeah, that's that's gonna

0:39:55.560 --> 0:39:57.120
<v Speaker 1>do it for this week's episode. But we do have

0:39:57.160 --> 0:40:00.480
<v Speaker 1>another special episode coming up on Thursday on four. Fortunately,

<v Speaker 1>the Lovely Kalin will not be co hosting that with us.

0:40:13.320 --> 0:40:14.800
<v Speaker 1>thank you again for everything, Kalin. Do you want to

0:40:14.800 --> 0:40:17.600
<v Speaker 1>say anything any party words? Um? No, thanks for having

0:40:17.600 --> 0:40:21.000
<v Speaker 1>me and thanks for letting me get what I needed

0:40:21.000 --> 0:40:23.960
<v Speaker 1>off my chest to Hopefully hopefully Jean doesn't put his

0:40:23.960 --> 0:40:26.359
<v Speaker 1>foot in his mouth again, I will, He'll be fine.

0:40:26.400 --> 0:40:28.759
<v Speaker 1>Any final thoughts, like before anything else you want to

0:40:28.760 --> 0:40:30.520
<v Speaker 1>get off your chest before we go, Well, I mean

0:40:30.560 --> 0:40:32.480
<v Speaker 1>the main thing I just wanted people to know, like

0:40:32.600 --> 0:40:35.879
<v Speaker 1>there are no red flags and you know, read click

0:40:35.960 --> 0:40:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the link. I know, maybe I don't agree with that.

0:40:38.280 --> 0:40:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Listen to the podcast. Actually, don't click the link, don't

0:40:41.040 --> 0:40:43.279
<v Speaker 1>read the headline, just listen to the podcast because Dean

0:40:43.520 --> 0:40:46.319
<v Speaker 1>is amazing and loving and it's a great podcast, So

0:40:46.600 --> 0:40:50.920
<v Speaker 1>do yourself. And I do have some red flags, Like

0:40:50.960 --> 0:40:52.799
<v Speaker 1>there's I don't think we should deny that I'm not

0:40:52.840 --> 0:40:54.879
<v Speaker 1>a perfect person or a perfect partner by any means,

0:40:55.120 --> 0:40:56.759
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not as bad as I made out to

0:40:56.800 --> 0:40:59.799
<v Speaker 1>be sometimes in my opinion, I I don't think there's

0:40:59.800 --> 0:41:02.000
<v Speaker 1>red flags. I think there's things that we could always,

0:41:02.040 --> 0:41:04.000
<v Speaker 1>like everyone could work on. But I don't think there's

0:41:04.040 --> 0:41:06.319
<v Speaker 1>red flags where I'm like, if I marry him, like

0:41:06.400 --> 0:41:08.200
<v Speaker 1>this is like a huge red flag, But you've got

0:41:08.200 --> 0:41:11.879
<v Speaker 1>red flags, you do, no, But I think of red

0:41:11.880 --> 0:41:13.600
<v Speaker 1>flags is I don't know. I think of them as

0:41:14.760 --> 0:41:19.359
<v Speaker 1>like sketchy guys. Yes, something that would prevent you from

0:41:19.360 --> 0:41:22.080
<v Speaker 1>wanting to get married to them, which you don't see

0:41:22.120 --> 0:41:25.040
<v Speaker 1>with Dean, right, I think, do you see with Calin?

0:41:26.640 --> 0:41:28.239
<v Speaker 1>Well that's I don't think. We don't have time to

0:41:28.239 --> 0:41:32.319
<v Speaker 1>get into that right now. And there's the next I'm

0:41:32.400 --> 0:41:35.440
<v Speaker 1>just kidding. I'm just kidding. So that's good. You got

0:41:35.440 --> 0:41:40.200
<v Speaker 1>everything off your chest. Yeah, that's it. You have more.

0:41:40.760 --> 0:41:43.400
<v Speaker 1>We would love to hear more you have any more time? No,
