Speaker 1: Hell I Suck a Dating with Dengler and Dared Haven
Speaker 1: and I heard radio podcast. Hey, welcome to an all
Speaker 1: new episode of Help I Suck at Dating. I'm Jared
Speaker 1: have Ben Dean is Um. I don't know where the
Speaker 1: hell he is, to be honest, He's going to join
Speaker 1: us on the pockets at some point. But this is
Speaker 1: what happens when you record remotely and you live in
Speaker 1: a van. Uh. Sometimes you're here on the podcast, and
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to find WiFi somehow. But I have
Speaker 1: a wonderful guess that is joining me right off the
Speaker 1: top of the podcast. She's a stand up comedian. She's
Speaker 1: an actress. She has a brand new comedy special entitled
Speaker 1: one of my favorite comedy special plots of all time,
Speaker 1: Never Been Kissed, because it's also one of my favorite
Speaker 1: rom coms of all time. Nicole Burch, Nicole, thank you
Speaker 1: so much for joining us. Thank you for having me?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, of course. Well Nicole, are you? Are
Speaker 1: you a Bachelor fan? Do you watch the show? Okay,
Speaker 1: so I am, but not nearly as much as my mother,
Speaker 1: so make sense I would. I'm actually quarantining at my
Speaker 1: mom's house right now, and I can tell her ears
Speaker 1: pressed against the door where we're recording this because she's
Speaker 1: freaking out right now. Oh that's amazing. Usually that's the
Speaker 1: response I'm used to. It's like, yeah, I kind of
Speaker 1: watched the show. My mom loves the show. Though. If
Speaker 1: I had a nickel every time I heard that, Uh, well,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be doing this podcast. Um. But Nicole, so
Speaker 1: you have a brand new special out that's been out
Speaker 1: for a couple of months now. You recorded it before
Speaker 1: COVID went down, because I've been I've been watching. Uh,
Speaker 1: I watched it and I mean it's a pack room.
Speaker 1: So how long ago did you record it? And then
Speaker 1: it came out what in August I believe came out
Speaker 1: September fifteen, but we shot it at the very end
Speaker 1: of two thousand eighteen, um, and so it took uh.
Speaker 1: We were hoping to release it at the beginning of
Speaker 1: this year, but then COVID happened, and I didn't know
Speaker 1: if I was going to be going on tour and
Speaker 1: what that would look like. And eventually I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I really want this to get out while
Speaker 1: while it's still timely, So we decided to just do
Speaker 1: the release state on September fifteen. Um, it's very funny.
Speaker 1: I love when you talk about dating between dating guys
Speaker 1: in Kansas and dating guys in Los Angeles and how
Speaker 1: people are like, oh, you know, dating is the same everywhere,
Speaker 1: and then you're like, but it's not. It's very different
Speaker 1: dating guys in Los Angeles versus dating guys in Kansas.
Speaker 1: So my question is, why did you want to title
Speaker 1: it Never Been Kissed? Because obviously that's a play. Well,
Speaker 1: that's just a reference to the romantic comedy es from
Speaker 1: rom com with Drew Barrymore. Right, So, um, I was
Speaker 1: obsessed with that movie when I was a teenager. I
Speaker 1: watched it. I had no friends in high school, so
Speaker 1: I probably watched that film three times in one year.
Speaker 1: That's impressive. Yeah, it was. But you know, I related
Speaker 1: to Drew Barrymore's character because she was like this nerdy
Speaker 1: girl and always like had a crush on the attractive
Speaker 1: popular guys, but was always like dismissed. And so I
Speaker 1: really related to that. And then the main point of
Speaker 1: the comedy actualists to talk about a date that I
Speaker 1: actually go on with the leading man and never been
Speaker 1: kissed Michael Vartan and so have you watched that movie recently.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, all right, so I love this movie as well.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna humble brag for a second. I've met David Arquette. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: and I really wanted. I wish I saw his car
Speaker 1: so I could call his car Bamby, but I didn't
Speaker 1: have the balls to do that. But he is a
Speaker 1: Bachelor fan and he knew who I was. So it
Speaker 1: was one of the greatest moments of my life because
Speaker 1: not only do I love Never Been kissed, but I'm
Speaker 1: also a massive screen fan. So to meet Deputy Dewey
Speaker 1: in real life was quite a spectacular moment for myself. Um.
Speaker 1: But I also loved that movie. But I just watched
Speaker 1: it recently. I gotta be honest, the whole teacher like
Speaker 1: falling in love with Drew Barrymore before he knows that
Speaker 1: she's an adult. Like it's something I can't get past
Speaker 1: now as being an adult, Yeah, does not hold up,
Speaker 1: especially not in like the environment the last few years.
Speaker 1: I watched it and I was like, this is super inappropriate,
Speaker 1: you know, like post me too, Like you just pull
Speaker 1: the T shirt a little bit. You can't. You can't. Um,
Speaker 1: So Nicole, what for? Well, I know you can't really
Speaker 1: talk about the date because it's like what the special
Speaker 1: is all about. But I guess, like, since we're a
Speaker 1: dating podcast, what has your experience been overall? Dating? Uh
Speaker 1: in Kansas, dating in Los Angeles, just dating in general. Um.
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is that until I kind
Speaker 1: of did some soul searching and fixed who I was
Speaker 1: like up to that point, which not that I still
Speaker 1: don't have plenty of work to do, but up to
Speaker 1: that point, I attracted, um, the people of the same
Speaker 1: sort that hadn't figured their life out, that didn't know
Speaker 1: who they were. Um, and that was kind of traumatic
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways because a lot of the
Speaker 1: guys that I would date, I mean, my mom always
Speaker 1: said I could go into a bar with a hundred
Speaker 1: guys and would walk out with the one drug addict
Speaker 1: like that, you pick the good ones. Yeah, So um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't attract that anymore, which is great. I also, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we make mistakes and stuff. There's people I've
Speaker 1: dated that I would never date now given the same circumstances.
Speaker 1: So that's you know, I guess that's growth. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: grow and learn. That's the whole point of dating, isn't it.
Speaker 1: So you can go out there, you can learn about
Speaker 1: the things that you do like and the things that
Speaker 1: you don't like. Yeah, like dating guys in Los Angeles
Speaker 1: kind of sucks. Oh man, it's that's such a bad time.
Speaker 1: I feel very lucky because I moved out here uh
Speaker 1: in late uh and I was only here for like
Speaker 1: four or five months before I started dating my girlfriend
Speaker 1: now wife, So I never really like experienced dating in
Speaker 1: l A all that much. And I was born to
Speaker 1: rage Rhode Island, so I can kind of relate to
Speaker 1: you about dating in Kansas versus Los Angeles, because dating
Speaker 1: Rhoe Island is very different too. Uh, that's crazy. It's
Speaker 1: just because Los Angeles there's so many, like you know,
Speaker 1: sparkly things that like everybody's always looking for the nespects thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's and everything is so spread out. And then
Speaker 1: you've got logistics. You've got travel time, So even if
Speaker 1: somebody's like fifteen miles away, you're like, how are you
Speaker 1: we going to commute? That's an hour and a half
Speaker 1: on drive. Um. And then but yeah, you're right, everybody's
Speaker 1: got the bigger, better deal syndrome and they're always looking
Speaker 1: somewhere else. Um. Myself I'm also guilty of that, but
Speaker 1: it's been a yeah LA's But then in Kansas. It's
Speaker 1: like I asked my brother. I was like, what's your
Speaker 1: top three things you're looking for? When he was like
Speaker 1: twenty two, I asked him this and he was like, well, career, wife, kids,
Speaker 1: And if I asked any of my male friends that
Speaker 1: were single in l A, they'd be like, well, career,
Speaker 1: the second career, a third career, a car, maybe like
Speaker 1: a girlfriend. I don't know if I want to be
Speaker 1: steady girlfriend. And then but like family and stuff, was
Speaker 1: not even top ten. If she has an instant Graham following,
Speaker 1: that would be great. It's a nice bonus. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's an interesting guy. It's an interesting uh look at
Speaker 1: the dating world. I'm glad that I get to look
Speaker 1: at it from the outside of very lucky. Um. But
Speaker 1: like again, seeing her a dating, I don't want to pry,
Speaker 1: but like what you are you single? Now? Are you dating? No?
Speaker 1: I'm actually single. I have a one year old daughter.
Speaker 1: That's her name. Her name is every wants a beautiful name.
Speaker 1: She's adorable. She is a ray of sunshine. When I say,
Speaker 1: she's probably the smiliest baby I've ever seen. I don't
Speaker 1: know where she gets it. She is just pure joy
Speaker 1: all day long. I've been very, very lucky. Well, you're
Speaker 1: a professional stand up comedian, like I'm sure Everley just
Speaker 1: you're making her constantly laugh. That's why she always has
Speaker 1: a smile on her face. That could be it, that
Speaker 1: could be but yeah, no, So I'm single, and um,
Speaker 1: her her dad and I have never been together. We've
Speaker 1: just been really good friends for like four years before
Speaker 1: that happened, and it was a one time thing. And
Speaker 1: uh yeah, so that's so even after the comedy spectral
Speaker 1: in my life got crazier and now one year old. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1: and so what is dating during COVID been like for you?
Speaker 1: I have not dated at all. I I okay, So
Speaker 1: I did get back on Tinder. I'm currently in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: Tinder it seems like an interesting choice for all, like
Speaker 1: the dating apps you could be on. Well, I think
Speaker 1: only because it's in Kansas City. Tender game in Kansas
Speaker 1: City is very different. It's very light. There's like some
Speaker 1: courting going on, which is really nice. Were in l A.
Speaker 1: Tinder is just like a hookup site, right, hook up Central? Yeah,
Speaker 1: hook up Central, Like that's what that's all you're there for.
Speaker 1: So this has been interesting. Um, but I still haven't
Speaker 1: met in person anybody. There was somebody I was talking
Speaker 1: to for a few weeks who's lovely, who of course
Speaker 1: in Kansas, if he's available at my age, means he's
Speaker 1: divorced with three children. Um, so it's just very different.
Speaker 1: Oh well, hey, I feel I feel for a lot
Speaker 1: of singles out there right now who are going through
Speaker 1: something similar, because it's one dating is tough in general,
Speaker 1: forget about COVID, but now you throw this pandemic in there,
Speaker 1: and dating is just a free for all, and now
Speaker 1: you have to worry about this virus. And do I
Speaker 1: you know, how much do I like this person to
Speaker 1: like risk getting COVID nineteen to meet up with them?
Speaker 1: Do we go on six ft dates? Do we elbow like?
Speaker 1: It's so like you just add another layer of stress
Speaker 1: onto dating that's already a stressful experience. Yeah, a thousand percent.
Speaker 1: My daughter, her father Craig, Um, he's actually quarantining in Utah,
Speaker 1: but then goes back back and forth to l A
Speaker 1: to work, and for him, his dating game is going great.
Speaker 1: And I get to hear all the stories and it
Speaker 1: is hilarious to me because the same thing with Utah.
Speaker 1: He's like, all these women are ready to commit, they're
Speaker 1: ready to get married, they're down to have more kids.
Speaker 1: They don't mind that I have a daughter, like all
Speaker 1: this stuff. And he goes, but in l A, it's
Speaker 1: even for him, even for a guy. He goes, it's
Speaker 1: completely one eighty. He goes, I've been stood up twice
Speaker 1: because the girl forgot we had a date. And I
Speaker 1: was like, what is happening. He's like, it's it's so
Speaker 1: it's so strange right now, but he's but he's he's
Speaker 1: for it, being COVID and stuff. I was like, man,
Speaker 1: are you being like careful, you like sanitizing? Are you
Speaker 1: like saying He's like, yeah, we did a six ft
Speaker 1: distant date one time where they stayed six ft apart.
Speaker 1: They did the elbow nudge like you said, And I
Speaker 1: was like, that's so crazy. It's crazy. But you know,
Speaker 1: it's just kind of like the time we're living in.
Speaker 1: So I'm sure there's a lot of women that are
Speaker 1: listening to this and and can relate to being in
Speaker 1: the dating world with kids, because that adds a different element.
Speaker 1: And we always talk about on this podcast, I want
Speaker 1: to ask you, how early on on a day or
Speaker 1: or meeting someone would you tell them you have kids?
Speaker 1: Does that mean does that the question makes sense? Like yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I would probably depending on it, Like I think,
Speaker 1: if it's on if you're doing online, I put it
Speaker 1: out there that I have a daughter, like I just like,
Speaker 1: let's skip to that. If it is somebody that I've
Speaker 1: met um organically at a party or something like that
Speaker 1: and we hit it off, I mean I still would
Speaker 1: do it pretty early on. I just I mean, I
Speaker 1: know it's one of those things because it's like, well,
Speaker 1: I don't want to scare them off, but I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: this is also what it is, yes, because you're you're
Speaker 1: not just looking for a partner, you're looking for somebody
Speaker 1: who's willing to be a dad. Pretty quickly, I would imagine, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And my thing with that is since having her, I've
Speaker 1: become so much pickier because the guys I dated before,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, you just have to have like
Speaker 1: you know, you have to have a car in a
Speaker 1: sense of humor, and now I'm like, no, you need
Speaker 1: a four oh one K and the Disney Plus channel,
Speaker 1: like you have that. Yeah, that's on your tender profile.
Speaker 1: It's like looking for a nice guy for one, okay
Speaker 1: for k if I could say it properly. Um. I
Speaker 1: also want to talk about your stand up because I am.
Speaker 1: I love going to comedy shows. I'm lucky because we
Speaker 1: live in West Hollywood, so I mean obviously not recently,
Speaker 1: but we live near the Laugh Factory comedy store. Some
Speaker 1: of my favorite comedians growing up, like Bill Burr's my
Speaker 1: favorite comedian of all, my favorite's virtual high five. Yes,
Speaker 1: so we have never been kissed in common and Bill Burr,
Speaker 1: do you listen to the Monday Morning podcast? I haven't,
Speaker 1: I haven't you got It's just him rambling. It's hysterical.
Speaker 1: Any interview he does, because that's what he does, is
Speaker 1: he rants? Right, So but any interview or even like
Speaker 1: late at night. I can watch those videos over and
Speaker 1: over and over because they just give them a little
Speaker 1: nugget and he rolls with it so hard. There's interviews
Speaker 1: of him with Conan O'Brien that I've probably watched at
Speaker 1: least fit t times. Yeah, because then Conan cracks up
Speaker 1: and it's just I love Bill Burrow. I also like
Speaker 1: when I was growing up as a team Dane Cook
Speaker 1: was very influential in my life because he was like
Speaker 1: the first guy to ever use social media as a
Speaker 1: ways to promote his work. I remember him on my
Speaker 1: Space like putting dates out there and like where he
Speaker 1: was going to be, and he was one of the
Speaker 1: like a pioneer, pioneer in that in that realm. Richard
Speaker 1: Pryor was a big one for me when I was
Speaker 1: a kid, Eddie Murphy, um, who else? Yeah, but now
Speaker 1: I like I listened to obviously Joe Rogan, a lot,
Speaker 1: Nicky Klasier, I listened to a lot um, But who
Speaker 1: were some of your idols? Like why did you want
Speaker 1: to get into the stand up comedy world? Like I
Speaker 1: when it comes to stand up I also like Louis
Speaker 1: Black and I'm not I don't do political humor at all,
Speaker 1: but I'm like for him, I think he's fantastic. Um,
Speaker 1: I think, uh, there's so much of my stuff that
Speaker 1: is a little similar to Amy Schumer, which we you know,
Speaker 1: blonde hair, blue eyes. So I'm like trying not to
Speaker 1: hit that home too hard, but a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: Dane Cook. I think it was his HBO special that
Speaker 1: what was the circle Vicious Circle? Yes, and he did
Speaker 1: one of my favorite bits about religion and that he goes,
Speaker 1: you know, like an atheist, was like, oh, our ashes
Speaker 1: turned into soil, and then the soil grows into a
Speaker 1: tree and it goes. But then you cut the tree
Speaker 1: down and they print the Bible on you. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That to me was like, I was like, that was
Speaker 1: the strongest. I adored that entire Yeah. I've always just
Speaker 1: been fascinated with stand up comedy. So and I was
Speaker 1: watching your special, and I gotta be honest, you have
Speaker 1: a natural charisma on stage, and uh, I think you
Speaker 1: have a very very bright future ahead of you. Um oh,
Speaker 1: it's so true because I you know, I'm certainly not
Speaker 1: an expert in the field by any stretch, but I've
Speaker 1: seen enough comedy specials to know that, you know, some
Speaker 1: people just have a certain um aura about them when
Speaker 1: they're on stage and their comp it and funny and
Speaker 1: self deprecating and in certain timing with jokes and and
Speaker 1: jokes that you're telling. Because some guys, some people, I
Speaker 1: feel like they go on stage and and they're telling
Speaker 1: jokes and you can tell that they're jokes that are
Speaker 1: not authentic to them. One of the reasons why I
Speaker 1: love comedy so much is because it feels like somebody's
Speaker 1: telling the story of their life, but in a comedic
Speaker 1: way that's relatable. And that's what I get from you
Speaker 1: when you're talking about your dating life and how awkward
Speaker 1: it is meeting new people. Um, it's uh, it's really authentic.
Speaker 1: It's very funny, and I can't tell you how much
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. Thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah, I think, Um,
Speaker 1: because I started off in like sketch comedy, so I
Speaker 1: think I obviously have people in stand up that I love,
Speaker 1: But I was always like a Lucy ole Ball Carol Burnett,
Speaker 1: like that was my that's my jam. And so I
Speaker 1: did Groundlings in l A and I got to wear
Speaker 1: all the wigs and mustaches and everything. Um. So stand
Speaker 1: up is definitely a different art form. And I originally
Speaker 1: started doing it because I was writing scripts and I
Speaker 1: was like, well, what jokes work best, Let's try it
Speaker 1: out on stage. And it was able to like kind
Speaker 1: of combine my writing with performance art, but I was
Speaker 1: still able to be myself and with that, like, I
Speaker 1: love storytelling, it's my favorite thing to do. That said,
Speaker 1: when somebody's like Hey, tell us a joke. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't really tell why did the chicken
Speaker 1: cross the road? I don't can know, I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't do those at all. I'm doing Like anybody's like,
Speaker 1: what's the quickest joke you have? And I'm like, it's
Speaker 1: still gonna take about thirty five seconds. So like that,
Speaker 1: you know. So I've I've really come to appreciate that.
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm a typical comic that's you know,
Speaker 1: at the clubs six seven nights a week, or tours
Speaker 1: the country. But I do really love storytelling, and it's
Speaker 1: very cathartic to like share some of my really embarrassing
Speaker 1: moments um and then to have people come up afterwards
Speaker 1: and be like, oh my gosh, something similar happened to me,
Speaker 1: thank you for making me laugh about it. That stuff.
Speaker 1: That's the reason I do it, because I to that
Speaker 1: human connection with other people's like paramount um. And before
Speaker 1: you go, because your your your special is called never
Speaker 1: been kissed? Do you remember your first kiss? Oh my gosh, yes, Okay,
Speaker 1: his name was Steve bosch Leger. Remember his first and
Speaker 1: last name. Yes, his name was Steve bosch Leger. And
Speaker 1: he was a senior and I was a freshman. Wow,
Speaker 1: you badass, look at you go. And he was a
Speaker 1: varsity baseball player. You were a freshman and your your
Speaker 1: first kiss with the was with a senior varsity baseball player. Yes,
Speaker 1: you said you had no friends. I don't believe you anymore.
Speaker 1: This was I was new to this school. It's actually
Speaker 1: in the town my mom lives in right now. There
Speaker 1: was only four hundred kids in the entire high school.
Speaker 1: And he, like, looking back, he definitely like swooped in.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, freshman, because everybody know you're either
Speaker 1: related to half the town or you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like that you're off, yeah, or your second cousins with
Speaker 1: him or your second gues. So like we actually had
Speaker 1: to find out, like we're not related, right, and we weren't,
Speaker 1: Thank goodness. So I remember like when we were kissing.
Speaker 1: This is so embarrassing. I can't wait to hear it. Okay,
Speaker 1: we weren't kissing, and I was like, I think, I'm
Speaker 1: I think I'm doing it right. I've watched enough movies, right,
Speaker 1: this is right, And like we stopped for a minute
Speaker 1: and I was like, is this like and we were
Speaker 1: he was holding me really close. Obviously we're fully closed. I'm,
Speaker 1: you know, a freshman in high school whatever. But I
Speaker 1: asked him. I was like, is this is this what
Speaker 1: sex is? And he was like, no, what are you
Speaker 1: talking about? And I was like, well, just because like we're,
Speaker 1: you know, we're just like really close. He's like, you
Speaker 1: know what it is, right, and I was like yeah,
Speaker 1: but I don't. Like I'm like, my hormones are going crazy.
Speaker 1: And he was like, gat me to calm down, and
Speaker 1: he did not talk to me after that. Everybody I
Speaker 1: asked if we were having sex fully closed very embarrassing.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a hell of a first kiss story,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much. Yeah. Yeah. I was like,
Speaker 1: this is how babies are made and he's like, absolutely not,
Speaker 1: that's not what this is. It's funny about that. I
Speaker 1: was watching hocus Pocus last night and phenomenal and obviously
Speaker 1: you know they say that, uh, Max is a virgin
Speaker 1: that lights the black flame candle. When I was a kid,
Speaker 1: obviously had no idea what a virgin was. So I
Speaker 1: asked my mom, Mom, what's a virgin and she goes, oh,
Speaker 1: it's uh when um, somebody's not married, their virgin and
Speaker 1: looking back, I was like, what a great explanation at
Speaker 1: the time, like, way to think fast on your feet, Mom,
Speaker 1: that's good parenting right there. That yeah, that's great. My
Speaker 1: first kiss was definitely not a school I was. What
Speaker 1: was I I was a sophomore in high school and
Speaker 1: I went to a dance with a girl from a
Speaker 1: different high school that I really liked but of course
Speaker 1: never made a move on. And we were dancing and
Speaker 1: she was dancing like I was behind her with my
Speaker 1: arms around her, and she was facing away from me,
Speaker 1: so like, you know, like it was it was kind
Speaker 1: of like for what was like fourteen fifteen at that time,
Speaker 1: it was very sexual, like her button was against me.
Speaker 1: It was pretty intense, and but it was really sweet
Speaker 1: and it was towards the end of the night, and
Speaker 1: obviously I never made a move, but she she like
Speaker 1: looked back at me and she leaned in and kissed me,
Speaker 1: and I was my first kiss and it was just
Speaker 1: a peck, but I like immediately turned red. Uh. It
Speaker 1: was a cool moment because I like, I didn't even
Speaker 1: make the move on my first kiss. She's the one
Speaker 1: who leaned in and kissed me. And yeah, my wife,
Speaker 1: obviously yelling the story of Jared's life because I, as
Speaker 1: she can attest to, I, I rarely make first moves.
Speaker 1: It's just it's quite pathetic. Actually, but it worked out
Speaker 1: because now we're married. Um but uh, but very cool. Well, Nicole,

Speaker 1: how much longer do you need? And he's like, well,
Speaker 1: I guess I'll just read the exact text message, shall I?
Speaker 1: Because that just really does it justice. So where is
Speaker 1: this thing? So Becky, our wonderful producer, says Dean, what's
Speaker 1: your e t A? Dean goes you, guys, I'm so
Speaker 1: far away from being available. So a couple like last year,
Speaker 1: at some point I don't know if you guys remember
Speaker 1: this episode, but we talked about tracking each other and
Speaker 1: then we realized that Mark tracks Dean. So we're like, oh,
Speaker 1: let's find out where he is and why he can't
Speaker 1: be on the podcast right now? Where is he? Mark?
Speaker 1: I tracked him to the Indian Hills golf Course in Harupa, California.
Speaker 1: Do you know what hole he's on? Is easy in
Speaker 1: affair right? I don't know that level of detail. It
Speaker 1: looked like he might be in the club, then he
Speaker 1: looked like he was on a fairway. Now he's back.
Speaker 1: He could be in some sort of a structure. It's
Speaker 1: hard to tell. But so then I texted him out
Speaker 1: of the blue and I said, can you just go
Speaker 1: to the pro shop and jump on zoom? And he
Speaker 1: wrote back, ha ha pro shop playing dumb and I
Speaker 1: vac you appear to be in a golf course and
Speaker 1: he said, oh no, I forgot. I shared my location. Yes,
Speaker 1: I will zoom in. I just need a moment, and
Speaker 1: that's where we are right now. So I mean, I
Speaker 1: just pray that a lease he's playing well, because I
Speaker 1: swear to God if he shoots like a nine two
Speaker 1: and misses this podcast, because of that pointless. Your point
Speaker 1: was a good one, though, How does he How is
Speaker 1: he so lovable that he just gets away with this
Speaker 1: stuff all the time. Oh, if I did this, I mean,
Speaker 1: if I did all that that Dean does, I would
Speaker 1: have been fired at least at least by December twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: But like Dean, it's just like, even talking about this podcast,
Speaker 1: we're all laughing because they're like, oh, this is so Dean.
Speaker 1: It's just it's so endearing, adorable. But you know what,
Speaker 1: the guys, you know, he's a lovable sweet man, and
Speaker 1: he's just he's so endearing. It's only it makes for
Speaker 1: a good content, you know what I mean. Alright, this
Speaker 1: is from Anonymous. She says, I met this guy on
Speaker 1: a hinge during the pandemic. He's ten years older than me.
Speaker 1: I'm twenty eight, he's thirty eight. The first day was okay,
Speaker 1: The second day was really good. He put in a
Speaker 1: lot of effort, took me one of my favorite restaurants
Speaker 1: that he had remembered I had said. He also mentioned
Speaker 1: he had a broken engagement that ended in October of ten,
Speaker 1: but didn't elaborate. That night we ended up sleeping together
Speaker 1: the third day, it was just not good. I felt
Speaker 1: the conversation was forced. The spark that I feel should
Speaker 1: be there by now just wasn't there. And they don't
Speaker 1: even really enjoy being around him as a friend. After
Speaker 1: the third date, he mentioned he cried that day in
Speaker 1: therapy talking about his past relationship. He said his ex
Speaker 1: left him by walking out the back door and blindsiding him,
Speaker 1: and a two movers come a couple hours later to
Speaker 1: move things out. I appreciate his honesty, but I feel
Speaker 1: like his emotions are still too raw and he's not
Speaker 1: ready for a relationship. Should I give this guy an
Speaker 1: the chance or explained to him that we're not on
Speaker 1: the same page, or do I ghost him and just
Speaker 1: fade away? Well, definitely don't ghost. I love the best.
Speaker 1: That's what you want is to say, right you want
Speaker 1: to yeah, yeah, that's room. Just never talk to him again,
Speaker 1: never respond to any of his messages. Definitely don't go.
Speaker 1: It's just if you're What I'm confused about is how
Speaker 1: did it go from being so good on the second
Speaker 1: day to the point that you you slept with them,
Speaker 1: to going to is so bad on the third date
Speaker 1: that you're considering ghosting him, Like what the hell happened
Speaker 1: in between? There a roller coaster. That's such a rollercoaster,
Speaker 1: because she says the first day was okay, the second
Speaker 1: day was really good. He put a lot of effort
Speaker 1: in to the point where they slept together that night,
Speaker 1: and then the third date went so poorly that she
Speaker 1: doesn't even really enjoy being around him as a friend.
Speaker 1: Is that mean? Is that shot this guy at this skin? Guy? Dean? Guys?
Speaker 1: This guy? How is everyone? What music is that in
Speaker 1: the background? Do you know how nice it doesn't hear
Speaker 1: your voice? Doesn't see your faith? How lucky am I? Dean?
Speaker 1: I got and I gotta t L d R? What
Speaker 1: did I miss? Good? How much crap do you guys
Speaker 1: talk about the past thirty minutes? Oh a lot? How's
Speaker 1: your stroke today? Oh well, I don't understand what you
Speaker 1: mark is very insinuating, insinuative about me being at a
Speaker 1: golf force day, very false. It couldn't be more false,
Speaker 1: fake news, Dean. I swear to God, if you're shooting
Speaker 1: like a ninety or above and you missed the podcast
Speaker 1: because of that, like you better be shooting at least
Speaker 1: of seventy four seventy five. If you're gonna just ditch
Speaker 1: us on the podcast again. I don't know where the
Speaker 1: weird uh conceptions of me playing golf are coming from,
Speaker 1: but I appreciate you guys being understanding. We've been a
Speaker 1: little bit late. Anyway, something on what I've missed, maybe
Speaker 1: for the listener to that has just tuned into the
Speaker 1: thirty five minute marking the podcast. Now they've been listening
Speaker 1: for thirty five minutes. Man, they wait, wait, Where's where's
Speaker 1: the music coming from? I'm curious about that because your
Speaker 1: music interrupted me while I was telling Anonymous about what
Speaker 1: she should or should not do with this guy. No,
Speaker 1: that wasn't music. That was that was What was that?
Speaker 1: That was, uh the pause music for your brain when
Speaker 1: you have to think about something. Sometimes you just have
Speaker 1: this ongoing, you know, cycle of music that plays that.
Speaker 1: That was got it? Sorry, Actually, al let's just died.
Speaker 1: Uh but uh uh, that's interesting that we all had
Speaker 1: that brain music going on, all of us and all
Speaker 1: the thousands of listeners. Hopefully we can really do at
Speaker 1: this point is just chock it up to serendipity and
Speaker 1: move on to the next thing. All right, So let's
Speaker 1: give our advice with this email quick and then let's
Speaker 1: break and then let's bring in to Mario, all right,
Speaker 1: and Mark, should we read the email again or should know?
Speaker 1: Let's just do and I just just take care of it.
Speaker 1: I would say that is time to move on. You
Speaker 1: don't feel the spark, probably shouldn't have slaped with them whatever.
Speaker 1: I hope that is enjoyable. But you're right, he's not
Speaker 1: ready yet, and you're welcome to explain that to him.
Speaker 1: And that's why you're moving on. That's all. That's my advice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's my advice too. He doesn't seem ready for a relationship.
Speaker 1: He's got some emotional baggage with him, rightfully, So if
Speaker 1: you just had a broken up engagement, like less than
Speaker 1: a year ago, I'm cheers. I'm curious when they met
Speaker 1: during the pandemic because Anonymous just says that I met
Speaker 1: Sky and Hinge during the pandemic. Wasn't in April, wasn't
Speaker 1: in July September, because that obviously makes a difference how
Speaker 1: far away from this engagement it was. But like, yeah,
Speaker 1: if it if it's already going to the point where
Speaker 1: the second date was so high, now the third dates
Speaker 1: so low. You don't you want your you don't want
Speaker 1: to talk to this guy anymore. Probably not the best thing.
Speaker 1: Probably just walk away, but don't ghost. Let him know.
Speaker 1: Well this podcast, I mean, who the hell knows at
Speaker 1: this point. But the good thing about this podcast is
Speaker 1: that it has created a relationship. We talked about it
Speaker 1: last week or the week before. Our producer Becky met
Speaker 1: a guy who listens to help. I second dating. That's
Speaker 1: what we're doing. We're just connecting people. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk to Mario, the guy she's talking to right after
Speaker 1: this welcome back to help. I chuck at dating. I
Speaker 1: don't know why I said it that way, but we
Speaker 1: have our wonderful, amazing, beautiful, sweet, kind, hardworking producer, Becky. Becky,
Speaker 1: first of all, how are you? I'm good? How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm nervous, but I'm good. You should be nervous. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think Dean style on the line, and we are
Speaker 1: preparing ourselves to grill uh this new man in your life.
Speaker 1: So first of all, Becky, tell us, how did you
Speaker 1: meet to Mario? And where are you guys at right now? So? Um,
Speaker 1: de Mario slid into the d N on Instagram classic
Speaker 1: and um, he was very polite not corny, not creepy,
Speaker 1: and uh he said, Hi, like just came across her
Speaker 1: Instagram randomly, and I just wanted to say that I'm
Speaker 1: very vocal and like things that I've been through on
Speaker 1: my Instagram. And he's like, I think your story is
Speaker 1: beautiful and you're beautiful and I'd love to get to
Speaker 1: know more about you. Um, hope you have a great day.
Speaker 1: And so then that led into us like exchanging numbers eventually,
Speaker 1: and then we started texting and he said, Um, I
Speaker 1: have a confession. I actually heard your interview on Help
Speaker 1: I stuck at dating. It was the first time I
Speaker 1: had ever listened to the podcast, and I was like,
Speaker 1: who is this girl? I need to find her? And
Speaker 1: then uh, guess he found me on Instagram and yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's basically you know, it's what this podcast is
Speaker 1: all about, really just bringing people together. I mean, first
Speaker 1: of all, I already liked this guy because he listens
Speaker 1: to the podcast, so he's already got a film's up
Speaker 1: by me. So how long ago is this and how
Speaker 1: long have you has been talking for? I think it's
Speaker 1: been like two or three weeks now. Alright, So Jared,
Speaker 1: we have questions for this guy, right, because I've got
Speaker 1: Becky obviously, we gotta we gotta get to the bottom
Speaker 1: of this, right, and so we've got some questions and
Speaker 1: we're gonna have him on and kind of get uh.
Speaker 1: I don't understand how this it's gonna work though. Is
Speaker 1: Becky gonna be a co interviewer of her own um
Speaker 1: quote unquote boyfriend or is it going to be just
Speaker 1: us too? The whole time, I'm not allowing this, Dean.
Speaker 1: It's you, me and t Mario. Becky, you just you listen,
Speaker 1: you watch, you learn and see if we can all
Speaker 1: get approval for this guy to further pursue you in
Speaker 1: a romantic I'm gonna tell you all right now, I'm excited.
Speaker 1: But the one thing that stuck with me was Becky
Speaker 1: saying that she's nervous and the curiosity of me. Beckyan's
Speaker 1: what is Becky curious about? I don't I don't know yet.
Speaker 1: I guess I haven't asked some questions. So I feel
Speaker 1: like you guys are going to ask those questions and
Speaker 1: I will do how those answers. How I feel about
Speaker 1: those answers. Well, I think that's a that's a perfect
Speaker 1: Stegway into the next question that I have for you is,
Speaker 1: are there any questions that you want us to ask him?
Speaker 1: On your behalf? What are his intentions? All? Right, Becky,
Speaker 1: how old do you go to? I'm twenty three, okay,
Speaker 1: I just want to get some and then you are.
Speaker 1: You're in l A right, mm hmm, I'm in l A. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So there's the big plot twist. He's twenty nine and
Speaker 1: he lives in Michigan. That's That's what I was getting
Speaker 1: gearing towards because I'm going to ask him about that
Speaker 1: long distance relationship. Where would he move? Let's really dive
Speaker 1: deep into this. So I think, Dina, are we're ready
Speaker 1: for Tomorrio to join this this group chat whenever? Okay,
Speaker 1: let's bring them on. I'm gonna be honest with you, guys.
Speaker 1: I'm nervous right now as well. Dean, would you shoot today? Now?

Speaker 1: past month. Yeah, it's been almost a month now, Man,
Speaker 1: it's been. It's been awesome. It's been a great month. Um.
Speaker 1: My first time listening to the guy's podcast. Beg was
Speaker 1: on it, and I'm like, who is this wonderful girl?
Speaker 1: So it's been great. So all right, let me ask
Speaker 1: you this, Tomorrio, why did you listen to like are you?

Speaker 1: Nick By? All season? Exactly exactly? So I got hooked
Speaker 1: and man, I just can't stop watching it, which is, um,
Speaker 1: kind of funny within itself. But yeah, So I listened
Speaker 1: to a few different podcasts and I saw your guys this,
Speaker 1: so I'm like, oh, I need to check it out.
Speaker 1: I gotta check it out. And it just so happened
Speaker 1: to be the um that specific podcast that that specific
Speaker 1: episode that works out very well. Okay, so let's let's
Speaker 1: do it tomorrow. You said you've been a fan of
Speaker 1: Bachelor since nick by all season. You said you've been
Speaker 1: a fan of Almost Famous. You said you've been a
Speaker 1: fan of Scrubbing in with It, Tillian Tanya Rat. What
Speaker 1: took you so gosh darn long to finally aunt help
Speaker 1: by second Dating? I'm just curious, what is our barrier
Speaker 1: entry here for the alf You know, dude, that's a
Speaker 1: really good question. And to be completely honest, I don't
Speaker 1: know because I sucked at dating, so I should have
Speaker 1: been listening to it, um for a while. Now I'm
Speaker 1: like right there with you. Um. But I'm happy that
Speaker 1: I'm a fan now, I love I love you guys podcast.
Speaker 1: I've been doing like a recap. So I just went
Speaker 1: back and listened to the episode with Taysha and a
Speaker 1: few other ones. So I'm looking I'm I'm a fan now.
Speaker 1: Well that's fine, that's totally fine by us. So Tomorio,
Speaker 1: before we start talking about Becky, tell us a little
Speaker 1: bit about yourself. Yeah, man, So I'm twenty nine years old,
Speaker 1: UM from Michigan. Um. I was born in Flint, um As,
Speaker 1: I'm sure that you've heard different news stories, of course,
Speaker 1: of things going on in Flint right now. Very resalient
Speaker 1: city though. Um. I just finished grad school this past April.
Speaker 1: We're time to graduate the pandemic. Um, and I work
Speaker 1: in local government. So I worked for a small a
Speaker 1: small city, a small village here and here in Michigan.
Speaker 1: Well that's awesome. Well, congratulations on graduating. Man. That's awesome. Man,
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for that. Oh, of course, So,
Speaker 1: so you're doing your thing in Michigan. You listen to
Speaker 1: our podcast, you heard Becky's voice. What was it about
Speaker 1: Becky on the podcast that made you want to inquire more?
Speaker 1: Most definitely? Very good question, Very good question. I would
Speaker 1: say two different things. I think the first one was
Speaker 1: she just seemed like she had a huge personality, like
Speaker 1: in a good way, UM, and that's that's what I
Speaker 1: looked for, like in a in a spouse, you know, UM,
Speaker 1: and a girl. And the second thing was it was
Speaker 1: huge for me that she had her relationship, um, with
Speaker 1: faith and with God. And she's sell a little bit.
Speaker 1: I've actually been celebrating myself for two years now. UM,
Speaker 1: and that's hard to navigate even as a guy in dating.
Speaker 1: So that was that was huge. And so I said,
Speaker 1: who's this fun girl that um likes to have a
Speaker 1: good time? As I can tell from that podcast, let
Speaker 1: me go do a little big in an Enquirer by office.
Speaker 1: So you looked over on Instagram? And what was your
Speaker 1: did you have? Like not a plan? I don't want
Speaker 1: to say that, but like a lot of guys who
Speaker 1: are thinking about sliding into the d m s like
Speaker 1: they don't execute it. Well you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Not a lot of guys get replies. You gotta reply.
Speaker 1: So what was your plan going into that? Dude? I
Speaker 1: didn't know if I was going to get a reply.
Speaker 1: First off, let's just start there, because I have that
Speaker 1: I went to Grand Valley in my um. I went
Speaker 1: to Grand Valley State University here in here in Michigan.
Speaker 1: And so I thought, she's gonna be like, who is
Speaker 1: this random guy from Michigan following me on Instagram? You know?
Speaker 1: And so I thought about it for a while. I
Speaker 1: think that I actually followed her like three days before
Speaker 1: I actually slid into her d m S. I thought,
Speaker 1: you know what, yeah, yeah, I had to wait to
Speaker 1: see if she was to follow me. Back first, and
Speaker 1: she did luckily, and so I thought, let me do it.
Speaker 1: It was a random Sunday, and I thought, let's just
Speaker 1: try it. Let's see what happens. And she replied, We
Speaker 1: started texting and face timing, and here we are, Tomorio.
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, you're coming into this conversation. I was
Speaker 1: a little bit skeptical because Jared and I obviously you're
Speaker 1: going to be very protective with people that are close
Speaker 1: to us, Becky being one of those people. Uh. And
Speaker 1: I heard this story and in the back of my
Speaker 1: head and my immediate thought was, Okay, there's this is
Speaker 1: this is something's wrong with this. But having you now
Speaker 1: and having had a conversation with you and hearing about
Speaker 1: where you're from, your motivation for obviously here in the
Speaker 1: middle of your m B a UM and honestly, when
Speaker 1: Becky said that she was celibate, and she said that
Speaker 1: she was having trouble dating someone because of that fact,
Speaker 1: and then hearing that you are also doing the same thing,
Speaker 1: now I'm a bit of a believer. But now my
Speaker 1: my question for you is, I know we're still early you.
Speaker 1: I think we even touched on it at the beginning
Speaker 1: of this that it's not even a month. But like
Speaker 1: you said earlier, Jared and I are from the Bachelor,
Speaker 1: we love to get into timelines. My question for you is,
Speaker 1: what are your intentions with our lovely back you moving
Speaker 1: forward at at least at this point three to four
Speaker 1: weeks into it. For sure, I appreciate that question a
Speaker 1: very good question. UM. I would say firstly that I
Speaker 1: think that it's so remarkable and very respectable that you
Speaker 1: guys look out for her like that. First off, UM,
Speaker 1: that's really cool, um. And so my intentions are one pure.
Speaker 1: I think that she has just like an infectious personality
Speaker 1: and smile, and so UM, I want to continue to
Speaker 1: continue to get to know her more on a personal level.
Speaker 1: I think that what has really drawn me in a
Speaker 1: lot is that we kind of skipped the whole surface
Speaker 1: level questions. You know that you first asked them one
Speaker 1: on dates and we went straight into being vulnerable with
Speaker 1: one another. UM, and that was so important. And so
Speaker 1: my intentions are I want to continue to get to
Speaker 1: know her. I want to um eventually come out and
Speaker 1: see her, come out to l A and really meet
Speaker 1: up and see what happens from there. I'm excited. I'm
Speaker 1: excited like tomorrow. You you honestly seem like incredible human being,
Speaker 1: and we obviously know Becky is as well. Um, so yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess, well, are the next steps for you guys?
Speaker 1: You think because this has been uh funny enough to
Speaker 1: say it has been a quarantine relationship, right, because you
Speaker 1: guys have met on mine, You've been talking through that,
Speaker 1: and that's that has been the essence of quarantine and
Speaker 1: his pandemic since basically March or April. Um. But so
Speaker 1: so you're still in Michigan, right, and then obviously Becky
Speaker 1: lives here in Los Angeles? What do you think exactly? Exactly?
Speaker 1: I think that I think that it's something that you
Speaker 1: can work through, right. I think distance, of course sucked,
Speaker 1: but you can work through it. Um. Next steps for
Speaker 1: me would be coming out there. My my job is
Speaker 1: super flexible, and so I think the next text would
Speaker 1: be would be coming out there, actually taking her on
Speaker 1: a date and getting to know who she is more
Speaker 1: as a person, and hopefully taking that to that not
Speaker 1: putting so much pressure on it now, but taking it
Speaker 1: to that next level, taking it to the to that
Speaker 1: next step. What are your thoughts about a long distance relationship? Yeah, Jared,
Speaker 1: I think the long distance relationships. I've done it once actually,
Speaker 1: like right after high school. Um, so I know that
Speaker 1: they can work. It takes a lot of work. You
Speaker 1: have to be transparent and have a lot of good communication. Um,
Speaker 1: which we both do. We we I can tell that
Speaker 1: she does as well, and so that's the most important thing.
Speaker 1: But I think that they can work just like any
Speaker 1: other relationship. It takes trust, respect, and communications. I mean,
Speaker 1: tomorrow less and you turned me a skeptic into an
Speaker 1: absolute believer. And now I'm way too. I'm way to
Speaker 1: invest in this love story to let it flop. So
Speaker 1: we need to figure out a way to make this work.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, dude, that means a lot. And Dude,
Speaker 1: I was kind of skeptical about it myself, like being
Speaker 1: completely honest, But as the weeks go on, I'm like,
Speaker 1: this can really work out. Listen, I think I think
Speaker 1: it would be weirder for you not to have been skeptical.
Speaker 1: So I think that's a I think that there's a
Speaker 1: lot of authenticity that's implanted in that too, So I'm
Speaker 1: I'm all for it at this point. Uh So, tomorrow,
Speaker 1: before you go, I have a I have a couple
Speaker 1: like rapid fire questions for you just because listen to
Speaker 1: full transparency. Becky's listening. So you know, you guys are
Speaker 1: two weeks into talking figured you know, Becky kind of
Speaker 1: wants to probably know a little bit more about you,
Speaker 1: and what better way to do that than ask you
Speaker 1: some quick firing questions. I usually think quickly open my feet,
Speaker 1: So let's see how it goes. I like that, all right.
Speaker 1: So first one, should a guy pay for a first date? Yes?
Speaker 1: Would you rather stay in or grow out? Go out
Speaker 1: with with the exception that at something you can put
Speaker 1: a caveat on that? Yeah, there we go, There we go.
Speaker 1: I would rather go out to a nice dinner with
Speaker 1: the intentions of coming back in happening a nice movie
Speaker 1: in or something like that. Okay, okay, so a little
Speaker 1: bit of going out but also staying home. Combo exactly
Speaker 1: loud combo. Would you rather get up early or stay
Speaker 1: up late? Stay up late? But I have to get
Speaker 1: up early for work now, man. But you're not an
Speaker 1: early bird. I'm not a super early bird. All right,
Speaker 1: that's fine. That's something Becky might like. Would you rather
Speaker 1: ask for help or figure it out on your own?
Speaker 1: Ask for help for sure, And I haven't always been
Speaker 1: like that. Uh, this one all right? So if you're
Speaker 1: choosing a movie comedy or horror comedy, would you rather
Speaker 1: lose the ability to hear or walk? Oh? Well, I
Speaker 1: couldn't walk for I tore my a CL last year,
Speaker 1: so I really couldn't walk for about am Oh my gosh, man,
Speaker 1: I was playing basketball. I kind of slipped from my
Speaker 1: a c L meniscus and partially through my m CL.
Speaker 1: Crazy story. Yeah, but we're good. Now, go to Mario.
Speaker 1: Would you rather change sex every time you sneeze? Or
Speaker 1: would you rather not be able to tell the difference
Speaker 1: between muffins and babies? That's a that's hilarious. Um, did
Speaker 1: you think about this before you give an answer, because
Speaker 1: there's a right and wrong answer here. You change sex
Speaker 1: every time you sneeze? Think about how often you sneeze?
Speaker 1: If you see a lot? The best choice if you
Speaker 1: don't see often, might be up your alley? Or do
Speaker 1: you want to not be able to tell the difference
Speaker 1: between muffins and babies? And you got to think about
Speaker 1: the repercussions about that. Um, both would be a little weird.
Speaker 1: Um Man, muffins and babies oh my gosh, I have
Speaker 1: to know what I don't have any too are currently,
Speaker 1: but I'm going with I'm going with the second one,
Speaker 1: muffins and babies, because I don't sneeze that offten. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's an interesting answer. I'm gonna I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: honest with you. I think that was the wrong answer,
Speaker 1: but everything else you said has absolutely wowed me. So
Speaker 1: I need, I need for you to justify the personal
Speaker 1: really quickly. I mean, listen, it's not I'm not. I
Speaker 1: don't think I'm alone in thinking that. I'm I've always
Speaker 1: wondered what it would be like to be a woman.
Speaker 1: I've always like to be in between, you know. So
Speaker 1: it's like, it would be nice to be able to
Speaker 1: experience those things get a better understanding in the world,
Speaker 1: rather than like, let's say you're forty five years old,
Speaker 1: you're this crazy guy pushing a stroller around. Someone looks
Speaker 1: in the stroller, always got a popy sea muff and
Speaker 1: the stroller, so he all of a sudden becomes this
Speaker 1: crazy person pushing around a muffin, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Or or he starts digging into a muffin that he
Speaker 1: got from Starbucks, but in reality's actually a child's head,
Speaker 1: and then you found out that he's a he's a
Speaker 1: cannibilistic serial killer. This is a very true. This is
Speaker 1: very true. But what about if you're pushing that baby
Speaker 1: and then you start sneezing like two or three times
Speaker 1: in a row, and you're instantly changing your sex like immediately. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: you make a good point, and I appreciate your thinking.
Speaker 1: I think I appreciate your way and thinking. You're absolutely right.
Speaker 1: There we go, all right, last question, this is very
Speaker 1: important to me. Dogs are cats dogs? That's the right answer,
Speaker 1: my friend. I figured you'd end on a good note
Speaker 1: on that one. Tomorio, thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 1: We really appreciate it. You're the man. Uh. We wish
Speaker 1: you nothing but the best of luck in your life
Speaker 1: and hopefully with Becky we'll see. Not to put pressure
Speaker 1: on it, we don't want to put pressure on it,
Speaker 1: but like if you guys do meet up and go
Speaker 1: on the first day, like you're coming back on the
Speaker 1: podcast to talk about it, well we'll we'll we'll definitely
Speaker 1: be meeting up. Well, I'm gonna come out there in
Speaker 1: three weeks. So thank you for having me you though,
Speaker 1: so we'll have to I forgot to put that little
Speaker 1: copy out in there. Yeah, I am coming out alright, No,
Speaker 1: no additional pressure as well, but hopefully if you get
Speaker 1: out to like me you Jared, Ashley, Becky, and Kaylin,
Speaker 1: that would be sweet. Well, thank you so much for
Speaker 1: having me on, guys. Nothing great, thanks for having thanks
Speaker 1: for coming on. Appreciate well. It's definitely how' a good one.
Speaker 1: Thanks you too many. Becky's very sweet. Yeah, I like
Speaker 1: it a lot. I gotta admit I was, like I said,
Speaker 1: I was keptical at first, but he really seems to
Speaker 1: have checked all my boxes. He seems to have stepped
Speaker 1: up to the plate and knocked it out of the park.
Speaker 1: I'm an absolute fan of the Marrio right now. I'm
Speaker 1: a big fan too. He's guys stuff together, he does. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's grown, so he's definitely grown. He's a man. That's
Speaker 1: a man. You're talking to you right there, that's no boy.
Speaker 1: The thing is too And I think I touched on
Speaker 1: a little bit about this when I was talking to
Speaker 1: him too, is when you said that you were cellivant
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, and that uh that gets
Speaker 1: to know you episode and you said that you were
Speaker 1: interested in dating. I was like, well, that's gonna be
Speaker 1: a hard thing to confront dating. And then when he
Speaker 1: was talking about himself, I was like, well, this guy
Speaker 1: is actually really cool. And then when he said he's
Speaker 1: been celibate for the past two years, that absolutely is
Speaker 1: what solidified everything for me to make me think that
Speaker 1: he seems like he already seem like a great guy.
Speaker 1: But that's what made me seem like you two were
Speaker 1: a good fit for each other. You know, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: me too. It like it brings like a level of
Speaker 1: comfort like that I've actually never had in a relationship before.
Speaker 1: And then also him just being really open about his
Speaker 1: faith and that we can you know, communicate about that
Speaker 1: too is huge. So, um, I'm excited. I liked his answers. Um, yes,
Speaker 1: anything changed? Was there, like anything that's that stood out? Yeah?
Speaker 1: When he said, um that I carried quality qualities that
Speaker 1: he looks for in a spouse, I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: did your heart flutter right there? It did something? Oh
Speaker 1: I like it? Uh so all positives from that, Well,
Speaker 1: that's a great thing. He comes out in three weeks, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's coming out. He bought its plane ticket last night,
Speaker 1: and um, I'll see how that goes. Becky. Sure, all positives,
Speaker 1: but what about that muffin question? You're telling me even
Speaker 1: even though he wanted to change sex every time he
Speaker 1: seized or no, I'm sorry, he wanted to be able
Speaker 1: tell the difference than the most in babies. What a
Speaker 1: crazy maniac. I completely checked out when you asked that,
Speaker 1: dem honestly didn't he answered properly. You just don't eat
Speaker 1: muffins anymore. That's it. Muffins are no longer a part
Speaker 1: of your diet. I think he also just like had perspective,
Speaker 1: you know, he wanted to hear your side, deam. So
Speaker 1: that was a great quality too. I get I get it,
Speaker 1: I get it, and I just feel like we're giving
Speaker 1: him excuses right now. Okay, so we see one red flag,
Speaker 1: got it? Yeah? Yeah, that's the red flag just like
Speaker 1: eat a baby every once in a while. That's not
Speaker 1: so bad. It's more of like a like a lavender
Speaker 1: slash pink type of flag. It's not even read, it's
Speaker 1: just you know, it's a pink a shoe flag. We're fine.
Speaker 1: But he checks off all the boxes otherwise so far,
Speaker 1: so I'm happy he checks by boxes too. If Kaitlin
Speaker 1: and I break up and it doesn't work out between
Speaker 1: you and him, I think I might slide into Mario's
Speaker 1: I'm impressed, hotly impressed. Make this podcast full circle. Well,
