Speaker 1: Scrubbing In with Becca Tilly and Tanya rad and iHeartRadio
Speaker 1: and two times People's Choice Award winning podcasts.
Speaker 2: Right, hello everybody, we are scrubbing in.
Speaker 1: Hey everyone, everyone.
Speaker 3: We are scrubbing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we need to replace it with something.
Speaker 2: Really, But if I'm like hello Tanya, Hello Becca, Hello.
Speaker 3: Easton, Hello Mark, could we'll continue to work on it?
Speaker 5: Is that a dog?
Speaker 1: No, just a bark?
Speaker 2: I was like, no, the whole point is I can't
Speaker 2: get off of the podcast.
Speaker 4: It's time for scrubbing.
Speaker 1: In the o R.
Speaker 3: I want to join us and don't go too far.
Speaker 4: All right, no more submissions.
Speaker 2: We have a winner, just stolen from one of the
Speaker 2: most iconic films.
Speaker 1: My favorite messages from somebody that was like, does scrubbing
Speaker 1: and have like a budget? I feel like they have
Speaker 1: an outdated jingle. They haven't outdated this. They don't have
Speaker 1: mic flags, they don't have whatever. I was like, dang,
Speaker 1: the answer is no, I sent you. Did I send
Speaker 1: you that screen?
Speaker 5: It was like, yeah, we have a Dear Bonnia episode today, Yes.
Speaker 4: We do, and I want to start us off with
Speaker 4: my Dear Bonia. I don't even know where I saw this.
Speaker 4: Mobe's in our prep you might have seen it too. Anyway,
Speaker 4: I thought this is a funny question. So would you rather,
Speaker 4: but you have to one of these has to happen.
Speaker 4: Would you rather walk in on your parents in bed together?
Speaker 4: Or have them walk in on you in bed together?
Speaker 1: Have them walk in on me.
Speaker 4: Like, but not just in bed together like?
Speaker 1: Yes you would? Yes, much better for me personally.
Speaker 3: All right, Becca, this is really unfortunate. I think I'd
Speaker 3: rather walk in on them.
Speaker 1: Oh dang, why, I know, like a perverted answer. Really, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 3: It's more perverted for them to want to walk in
Speaker 3: on me doing it.
Speaker 6: I don't nobody wants this to happen, it's just this happens.
Speaker 2: I think I'd be able to like process it and
Speaker 2: move on easier than they would.
Speaker 4: I think I agree, yes, because it feels like the
Speaker 4: awkwardness it was gonna be awkwardness either way.
Speaker 1: I guess, Mark, this is a horrible question.
Speaker 4: Are the conversation I saw the summer I saw.
Speaker 3: Taking a step further? What position?
Speaker 4: All right, fine, let's just going to the normal deer bond.
Speaker 6: Yeah, just move on, let's move on. Answer please, I
Speaker 6: guess I'd rather have them walking on me.
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Better because since we didn't say what position, maybe me
Speaker 6: and my wife are just holding hands all right?
Speaker 4: It was a split decision.
Speaker 3: Better like doing like you know you're.
Speaker 6: Actually like mid coitus?
Speaker 3: Yes, you are just holding hands?
Speaker 6: Isn't that how it's? Is there another way?
Speaker 4: Yes? Childless From Anika High, Banya and Meston Day one
Speaker 4: scrubbery here, I just want to start saying thank you
Speaker 4: for making me laugh every week. I truly admire the
Speaker 4: relationships you all have with your significant others. I'm going
Speaker 4: through a breakup after five years and now I'm thirty.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to reflect them, but I want moving forward.
Speaker 4: My question is, how do you actually know when someone
Speaker 4: is the one? People always say when you know, you know,
Speaker 4: but I'd love to hear your take on it. Becca
Speaker 4: and Tanya. You both seem so happy in your relationships,
Speaker 4: and I love how you talk about your partners with
Speaker 4: so much love and respect. It's inspiring and makes me
Speaker 4: want to hold out for that kind of connection and
Speaker 4: not settle. You also seem like you never get sick
Speaker 4: of each other, even though I'm sure you have your moments.
Speaker 4: Any advice on how to recognize your person would be
Speaker 4: greatly appreciated. Ps. I recently cleaned my water bottles because
Speaker 4: I was pulling a Tanya. Love you guys.
Speaker 1: Wow, the fact that that's now called I'm considered pulling
Speaker 1: a Tanya.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe Anika can inspire you to wash your ball.
Speaker 1: I watched it probably twice since we've had that conversation.
Speaker 6: Not enough, it's.
Speaker 4: Okay to start.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the straw is often yes, yeah, great, great, great.
Speaker 3: Just to be clear, do you want to answer?
Speaker 1: I don't think I know the answer, Like, how do
Speaker 1: you know they're the one? I feel like with Robbie,
Speaker 1: I literally knew very quickly that like my inner beings
Speaker 1: told me that he he was it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would like to say that it was the
Speaker 2: same thing, like, it's not really something that I have
Speaker 2: it that was specific of like I knew because she
Speaker 2: did this. There's more something that happened like in my
Speaker 2: like brain chemistry or something where I was like, And
Speaker 2: I also think that one thing that I will say
Speaker 2: is that any of the problems or issues that we've
Speaker 2: had to navigate or work through, it hasn't felt like
Speaker 2: a burden to go through the work.
Speaker 3: Of navigating those things.
Speaker 2: It's been like, I want to work on this as
Speaker 2: opposed to it being like I have to work on this.
Speaker 2: It's been like, Okay, I want to be with you,
Speaker 2: you want to be with me, and that's like that's
Speaker 2: what's happening. So how do we make it as like
Speaker 2: healthy as possible? And I've wanted to do that as
Speaker 2: opposed to feeling like it was a burden in our relationship. Yeah,
Speaker 2: which I feel like is if it's not the right person,
Speaker 2: that going through things and working on things feels like
Speaker 2: a heavy burden, a heavy lift, I think for me,
Speaker 2: I guess is what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so that's what I would say. How do you
Speaker 5: what do you think it is?
Speaker 6: I mean, I agree that it's a there's not like
Speaker 6: a specific thing. But I think back to this. There's
Speaker 6: this quote from Kieramo do Toro that I really like
Speaker 6: about art, and it's art. The definition of art is
Speaker 6: what would you risk to be in its presence? And
Speaker 6: I always think about like I just couldn't imagine life
Speaker 6: with that, Like when I'm with Alison, I'm like, I
Speaker 6: can't imagine doing anything without you, and I would risk
Speaker 6: everything just to be in your orbit. Yeah, And I've
Speaker 6: never felt that way about anyone else. And that's the
Speaker 6: fact that I popped into my head. It's like the sign,
Speaker 6: you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I literally don't get sick of him. Like
Speaker 1: I can literally have Robby next met twenty four to
Speaker 1: seven and never get sick of him.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like he gets in my lap all day, I'd
Speaker 1: be totally fine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, lose feeling in your feet, but you're fine day
Speaker 4: the way around.
Speaker 1: Like I could sit on his lap all day long
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, perfectly fine.
Speaker 4: I remember the revelation we had been together three years. Remember,
Speaker 4: my wife was very young when we started dating, so
Speaker 4: I wanted to have a long I wanted it a
Speaker 4: long time because I didn't want her to feel like
Speaker 4: she got married too young or didn't see anyone else,
Speaker 4: or made a mistake. So after we began together three years,
Speaker 4: I remember thinking, am I going to propose to this?
Speaker 4: It's really is she the one? And I thought to myself, well,
Speaker 4: what's the opposite? What's the alternates? The alternate is we
Speaker 4: break up and go and lead separate lives and never
Speaker 4: talk to each other again. And that was laughable and
Speaker 4: inconceivable to me. There is no way that is my future.
Speaker 4: That Amy's just another person in the world that I
Speaker 4: think about every once in a while, but liv a
Speaker 4: girl in life completely separate from me, There's no way
Speaker 4: that's the case. And that was it. I knew, Okay,
Speaker 4: this is it, this is the one, and I'm going
Speaker 4: to propose.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that makes sense to me. And I resonate
Speaker 2: with that because I remember when think that when some
Speaker 2: certain people found out about my relationship with Haley who
Speaker 2: were important to me, and they weren't super receptive or accepting,
Speaker 2: I was like, so, what's the alter, Like I either
Speaker 2: do what they want or and I don't have Haley
Speaker 2: in my life. And I was like, I can't even
Speaker 2: fathom that. And I was willing to have to go
Speaker 2: through a hard time in another relationship with someone who
Speaker 2: I love and care about so much to be with her.
Speaker 2: And I think that was the moment where I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: this isn't like a fleeing or something I could just
Speaker 2: like forget. And I remember I've said it a lot,
Speaker 2: but I always was like I knew I would never
Speaker 2: stop thinking about her if I wasn't with her. And
Speaker 2: I think that's kind of the thought, which is basically
Speaker 2: what you just said in different words, like the thought
Speaker 2: of her amy, doing being with anyone else doing living
Speaker 2: life felt like there's no way I'm not a part
Speaker 2: of that her life.
Speaker 1: Yes, so that's it.
Speaker 4: That's how you know. Hope that helped a very confused
Speaker 4: and hurt scrubber sent us this one. Hi, Becka, Tanya Mark,
Speaker 4: and Easton. I'm a longtime listener living in a small
Speaker 4: town in Manitoba, Canada. I bet that's nice up there.
Speaker 4: I'd like to see Manitoba, Canada. I'm a thirty two
Speaker 4: year old single mom of two boys, both under the
Speaker 4: age of ten. One is named Easton.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: My ex husband and I separated in twenty twenty three
Speaker 4: and have reached the end of our separation and divorce process.
Speaker 4: I started doing my boyfriend a little over a year ago.
Speaker 4: We dd it for five months before introducing him to
Speaker 4: my two boys, and it's been mostly smooth sailing. My
Speaker 4: boyfriend is thirty seven, has never ever wanted kids of
Speaker 4: his own, which I've known from the beginning. I don't
Speaker 4: want more kids either. I may have assumed incorrectly, but
Speaker 4: I assumed that even though he didn't want children of
Speaker 4: his own, he wouldn't date someone with kids if he
Speaker 4: was opposed to attending kids' events like soccer, taekwondo, et cetera,
Speaker 4: and eventually years down the line, having more of a
Speaker 4: step parent like role. When I've asked him why he's
Speaker 4: so unwilling to attend these things, his response is usually,
Speaker 4: this is exactly why I didn't want to have kids
Speaker 4: on my own, or why would I want to go
Speaker 4: to that. I tried to explain to him that my
Speaker 4: kids have asked why he can't attend these events, and
Speaker 4: I always have to lie and say he's working. He
Speaker 4: always makes it seem like I'm asking for the end
Speaker 4: of the world, and I'm not sure that I am.
Speaker 4: The boys want him there because they love him and
Speaker 4: they want him to be there to support them. I
Speaker 4: feel so confused. I'm sure i'd handle the situation. I
Speaker 4: love him deeply, which is why it's been so hard.
Speaker 4: An the insider opinions would be greatly appreciated. A very
Speaker 4: confused and hurt scrubber. It's not great.
Speaker 3: It's not great.
Speaker 2: The thing that immediately popped up in my mind is
Speaker 2: I feel.
Speaker 1: Like when.
Speaker 2: You're in a relationship, there's that like teammate and partnership
Speaker 2: that comes along with it, and I really tell you,
Speaker 2: you're the only person who can speak to this in
Speaker 2: the room really in terms of like being the person
Speaker 2: coming into someone's life with kids.
Speaker 1: I think the thing is that he's not. So I
Speaker 1: think every situation's different. I don't think every step parent
Speaker 1: or step parenting role looks the same. I think it's
Speaker 1: dependent on your partner and that what they want that
Speaker 1: role to be. So in my case, Robbie did want that.
Speaker 1: He really wanted me to be a very active part
Speaker 1: of the kids' lives, and I wanted the same thing.
Speaker 1: We were really like the word sympatico in that, and
Speaker 1: so that's kind of where that's where we took the role,
Speaker 1: my role with the kids. And it's hard because you're
Speaker 1: the mom and you want your partner to be involved,
Speaker 1: but he really doesn't want to be involved. So I
Speaker 1: feel like you guys have to maybe make some sort
Speaker 1: of compromise because I also think too, if he doesn't
Speaker 1: want that responsibility, he doesn't want kids, he doesn't want
Speaker 1: he doesn't want that responsibility of even being a step parent,
Speaker 1: then maybe there's a compromise you can make. Maybe doesn't
Speaker 1: come to every game, maybe he just comes to like
Speaker 1: one here and there or you know, like does not
Speaker 1: have to be all in or all out. I feel
Speaker 1: like he's all out?
Speaker 4: Is it? Is there an element of I don't want
Speaker 4: to be around your ex husband, I don't want to
Speaker 4: be the new guy and everybody staring at me. Is
Speaker 4: there something there? Like I have maybe hard to believe
Speaker 4: he has no interest in watching your kids play soccer.
Speaker 1: Especially if he's building a relationship. Yeah, especially if he's
Speaker 1: building a relationship with them.
Speaker 2: I think he just I think he doesn't want kids
Speaker 2: and he probably gets to have her fifty percent of
Speaker 2: the time by him, by herself, and he probably is
Speaker 2: like I told you from the beginning, I didn't want kids,
Speaker 2: And I think she's totally valid in being like, then
Speaker 2: why would you date me if you weren't going to
Speaker 2: have any participat participation in my kids lives?
Speaker 1: He is having participation in their lives because she's saying
Speaker 1: that they love him and they want him to come.
Speaker 1: So he's clearly like hanging out with them at some point.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But if he I know, but if he cares and
Speaker 2: loves them and he and she's saying they want you
Speaker 2: to come to their events, wouldn't he go oh, like
Speaker 2: in his mind, it's like, oh, yeah, that I didn't
Speaker 2: really I don't really want to go to a kid's
Speaker 2: soccer game, but like I love these kids and this
Speaker 2: is what they want from me.
Speaker 5: Yea, how do I show up for them? I don't
Speaker 5: think this guy's your person.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's because I'm not like your guy.
Speaker 3: I get.
Speaker 2: I understand his view on like if he doesn't want kids,
Speaker 2: but why would you date someone who's who's very much
Speaker 2: in that in that and has kids and not be.
Speaker 3: Able to show up for them?
Speaker 1: Because some people who are in that role like don't
Speaker 1: have to be like that. Like I don't really know
Speaker 1: any examples, but like I'm trying to think of like
Speaker 1: a famous couple that just to give a good example.
Speaker 2: While you're thinking, I'm saying, like if she's can mean
Speaker 2: if if this was at the very beginning, like let's
Speaker 2: say last week was the first game, and he was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm not really into that. I don't want to go
Speaker 2: to kids' sporting events, and then she's like, Okay, now
Speaker 2: I have to reassess what this is. But this is
Speaker 2: not the first time it's happened. He has like consistently
Speaker 2: not been going and she's probably communicated like, Hey, the
Speaker 2: boys really want you to come. I'm having to lie
Speaker 2: and say that you're at work. And if he's still
Speaker 2: not able to go, like, oh, like I should show up.
Speaker 2: I'm in these kids' lives like I should show up,
Speaker 2: or they're when they're doing something that's important to them.
Speaker 2: I don't think this is the type of guy that's
Speaker 2: going to be a partner to you or a teammate
Speaker 2: to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if that's important.
Speaker 4: Again, it's just like, yeah, it's hard with these emails
Speaker 4: because you want to give everyone the benefit of the doubt,
Speaker 4: and I'm trying real hard to give this guy the
Speaker 4: benefit of the doubt. But who doesn't want to go
Speaker 4: see random kids off the streets are kids that you
Speaker 4: know and watch them play soccer or dance or whatever
Speaker 4: it is. It seems to me like I'm going to
Speaker 4: see my friend's kids game. Yeah, our neighbors kids have
Speaker 4: gone see Like it's just something to do when it's fun.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know, it's like showing up for kids,
Speaker 7: like kids seeing people in your Like if people like
Speaker 7: my aunts and people came to my events when I
Speaker 7: was in school, I remember being like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 7: like my, oh.
Speaker 1: Want to go to yeah, sporting them?
Speaker 4: Why wouldn't you?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So I I again, we only know what we've gotten
Speaker 2: this email about. But I think that you deserve someone
Speaker 2: who's going to be a to and I think maybe
Speaker 2: if there's, if there hasn't been a sit down conversation
Speaker 2: about that it's important to you and that it's important
Speaker 2: to the kids, then have that conversation. And if he's
Speaker 2: not willing to compromise and be able to show up
Speaker 2: for them and you, then I don't think this is
Speaker 2: your personal or.
Speaker 1: Maybe we understand the root of why he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to go to these events. Maybe we start with that what.
Speaker 5: The root seem like?
Speaker 3: He's just like, yeah, I don't want kids.
Speaker 4: But also there's gonna be stuff he wants you to
Speaker 4: go to that you don't want to go to. Right,
Speaker 4: I don't know what that is. Let's go watch with
Speaker 4: the boys. I don't want to do this, but fine,
Speaker 4: you know is what we do.
Speaker 2: Relationships, It's part of life. But that's the part of
Speaker 2: being like a team. And this guy doesn't feel like
Speaker 2: a team with you.
Speaker 1: No, he's got an iron team and that's just the
Speaker 1: team have.
Speaker 3: An iron team.
Speaker 4: You can't, Tanya, did you come up with a celebrity
Speaker 4: couple analogy for this particular situation?
Speaker 1: So I was saying, I was thinking maybe like Jennifer
Speaker 1: Lopez and Ben Affleck, but it didn't quite work. Oh,
Speaker 1: Jlo has kids, ben Affleck has kids. But I do
Speaker 1: feel like even Jlo like showed up to ben afflecks
Speaker 1: kids stuff and vice versa. Probably so, No, I don't
Speaker 1: know any step parents that do not attend any of
Speaker 1: their children's step children's festivity effort. Yeah, thank you, A
Speaker 1: good idea. I tried, Dakota Johnson. I don't know those
Speaker 1: kids are older.
Speaker 4: Than you for working on it.
Speaker 3: While you're thinking about it. We're going to take a break,
Speaker 3: all right. We are back with more burning questions.
Speaker 4: Different religions, Tanya, this question is mostly for you, it says,
Speaker 4: I mean day one, Scrubber was so happy of you
Speaker 4: when you met Robbie and finally became a wife. I
Speaker 4: was in a two year relationship with a man I
Speaker 4: love and care for so deeply. I am born and
Speaker 4: raised devout Catholic and he was raised Hindu, though he's
Speaker 4: not necessarily religious. We recently broke up because we couldn't
Speaker 4: come to a conclusion on how our wedding would look
Speaker 4: combining traditions, etc. Can you share a bit more about
Speaker 4: how you and Robbie had discussions around your different faith backgrounds.
Speaker 4: I'm heartbroken and really hopeful we can find a way
Speaker 4: to come back together. Lots of love, Anonymous.
Speaker 1: They broke up because they couldn't figure out read that
Speaker 1: line again, they couldn't figure out how to have a wedding.
Speaker 4: That combines the traditions of Catholicism and Hinduism.
Speaker 1: And that broke them up.
Speaker 4: Apparently, she says, we broke up because we couldn't come
Speaker 4: to a conclusion. That makes me sad, But maybe I
Speaker 4: think it's a bigger picture thing, like, well, if we
Speaker 4: can't even figure this out, how are we going to
Speaker 4: figure out how to raise kids together and all these
Speaker 4: other things? You know?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that when it came to faith and
Speaker 1: traditions and everything that comes in that realm of things,
Speaker 1: Robbie respected mine and I respected his, and we kind
Speaker 1: of took like an all hands on deck approach. We
Speaker 1: celebrate all the things, we incorporate all the things. It
Speaker 1: really and we really wanted our wedding ceremony to be
Speaker 1: non denominational. We didn't want it to be fully one
Speaker 1: way or the other. And it was like the easiest
Speaker 1: thing that we've done, Like we didn't have fights about it.
Speaker 1: It was literally just like what traditions, what do you
Speaker 1: want to have? What do you want to have? And
Speaker 1: then we both said great love it, great love it
Speaker 1: did it? Like I feel like we just approached it
Speaker 1: from a place of just like love and understanding on
Speaker 1: both sides. We never truly haven't thought about it.
Speaker 4: And I wonder if so if they approached this from
Speaker 4: a different way where he would suggest something that she
Speaker 4: say something like, oh, my grandparents are never going to that,
Speaker 4: and vice versa, he's like, oh, my family is not
Speaker 4: going to want that to happen. You know, maybe that's
Speaker 4: there's too many cooks in the kitchen.
Speaker 2: Maybe I also think they're like, you are very committed
Speaker 2: to your faith, and so is Robbie.
Speaker 3: But I also think.
Speaker 2: That if you're devout to your religion and your family
Speaker 2: is really intensely developed to their religion, and you're thinking
Speaker 2: about what is our family going to think, what's grandma
Speaker 2: going to think? Who's a devout Catholic? I think you
Speaker 2: get in your head about that. But I think if
Speaker 2: you're like I think y'all have done such a beautiful
Speaker 2: job at like honoring each other in your religions and
Speaker 2: also being respectful and also being.
Speaker 5: Willing to learn, I think you have to kind of.
Speaker 2: Drown out the noise of what's everyone else gonna say
Speaker 2: and think, Yeah, and if it's if that's what it is,
Speaker 2: if it's your own inner inner self, or you know,
Speaker 2: whatever it is.
Speaker 1: You're so right about that. It's like, I do think
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of external noise that comes in
Speaker 1: when especially when it comes to faith and traditions, and
Speaker 1: you do have to just completely block that out and
Speaker 1: it has to be just the two of you and
Speaker 1: like what you want to do.
Speaker 2: And also be able to like be sometimes you have
Speaker 2: it's it sucks to have to be the one to
Speaker 2: be the example in your family of being like, this
Speaker 2: is what it looks like to respect and honor other
Speaker 2: people's religions who don't believe the same way as you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And it's hard because when you have a really strong
Speaker 2: dynamic with your family and you've agreed on everything thus far,
Speaker 2: and they have expectations about who you're going to be
Speaker 2: with that could be a challenge. It's not as easy
Speaker 2: as just like, oh, block it all out, Like I
Speaker 2: know that's a challenge, But I think if you know
Speaker 2: this is the person that you're supposed to be with,
Speaker 2: I think there's room for you to let yourself grow
Speaker 2: and you know, focus on you and your relationship and
Speaker 2: not the external noise.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really interesting because it's a question that I
Speaker 1: get asked a lot inner faith relationships and how we
Speaker 1: make it work. And I'm like, it's so interesting because
Speaker 1: it's literally just both of us honoring and respecting each
Speaker 1: other and creating our own traditions. It's never been truly,
Speaker 1: we've never had an argument over it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean I think if it gets to
Speaker 2: a point where you're only arguing about that, then maybe
Speaker 2: he's not your person. You know. Maybe if it's that
Speaker 2: important to where y'all can't move forward and you both
Speaker 2: are stuck in that fight, you're just gonna grow resentful.
Speaker 3: And I don't think.
Speaker 2: I think if you grew resentful about it, then you
Speaker 2: wouldn't be a to have a healthy relationship ever. So
Speaker 2: I think that you you know, have to figure out
Speaker 2: where where the hesitation is coming from. Is it from you,
Speaker 2: Is it from your boyfriend or is it from your
Speaker 2: family and other people?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Huge, you the best.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it can work.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Inner faith marriages are blessing. I think the more the merrier. Yeah,
Speaker 1: celebrate so many holidays in our house.
Speaker 3: They all are always celebrating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like constant celebration.
