12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 2: obscure one, but I'm just curious because I saw this

13
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: this morning. Have any of you or has anyone do

14
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: you have a friend that you've never met, like a friend,

15
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: like someone that you either like In this case, this

16
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: is the thing I saw this morning.

17
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: It's on Reddit.

18
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: It was a picture of a man and a woman

19
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: together and it said met my internet friend today for

20
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: the first time. We started chatting online in two thousand

21
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: and one when we were both sixteen, so that's what

22
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: twenty four years ago. Four years ago. They started chatting online.

23
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: They never met. They kept in touch for twenty four

24
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 2: years wow, and they went to an Iron Maiden concert together.

25
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 2: I guess they're Iron Maiden fans. Well, like, I don't know,

26
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 2: is it is it? Maybe some when you talk to

27
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: like another branch of your office you've talked to you

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: for a long time, never seen, which I guess in

29
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 2: this day and age is hard to do. People can

30
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 2: FaceTime or you know whatever, but video chat all all

31
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: the different zoom meetings and whatever else. But like, I

32
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: don't know, have you ever chatted with someone played video games?

33
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: You ever had a pen pal?

34
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 3: I'd made friends on Instagram, but then I've ended up

35
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: meeting them like a year or so later.

36
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: But did you meet them that DM you? They listened

37
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: to the show they DM you?

38
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think so.

39
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: And just over time, like realized we had similar interests

40
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: and I don't know, I felt like I could trust

41
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: her and then we met up in person and ended

42
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: up being a great friend.

43
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: She was an ex murderer. Yeah it's a shame.

44
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but you still visit her in prison right now?

45
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 5: Now?

46
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 3: That your friends, Well, if she was an ex murderer,

47
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 3: wouldn't I not be alive to tell the tale?

48
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 6: Well?

49
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: I think unfortunately, she wasn't able.

50
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 4: To get to you, she spared me.

51
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because you were friends.

52
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 4: Well that's why you meet in public always.

53
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: I agree, But like, is it one of those things.

54
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: Is it like between glass when you go to see her,

55
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: or is it like across the table. Are you able

56
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: to like, you know, sit physically, or is it is

57
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: it like a video chat on the phone.

58
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: I's like when you go to.

59
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: See her, you know, I usually bake a cake, put

60
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 3: some treats in there for her. Oh it's always her

61
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 3: birthday speak stuff.

62
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, but none of you don't because I mean,

63
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: this is crazy like to keep it, I mean, especially now.

64
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: And I don't know if these people live in you know,

65
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 2: wildly different parts of the world or something like, you know,

66
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: really crazy extreme distance. But I mean, I just think

67
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: it's it's amazing to think that people have been able

68
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: to keep in touch for this period of time and

69
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: never meet.

70
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 7: Now.

71
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: Granted, when you're sixteen, you meet someone on a video game,

72
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: you don't have any money. You know, you're not probably

73
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: not thinking like, oh, I'm gonna be talking to this

74
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 2: person in twenty five years. But I just I wonder

75
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: if this has ever happened to anybody that's a really

76
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: long time.

77
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: It has definitely happened.

78
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 8: I feel like now like we did the tour and

79
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 8: that's when I met a lot of the thirteen that

80
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 8: we've been friends for over the last two years that

81
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 8: I've been here, and then you finally get to put

82
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 8: a face to the name. But it's a few that

83
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 8: I haven't. Like there's this one friend online named c Style.

84
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 8: All I know is her Instagram handle. I don't know

85
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 8: her real name, Lady Lyftdriver. I don't know her real name.

86
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 8: My friend my friends, so it's like, yeah, like, and

87
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 8: I know those people ride for me on social media,

88
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 8: ride for all of us on social media. But it's

89
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 8: like I've never met them in real life, but I

90
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 8: consider them friends.

91
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean radio people that I've chatted with

92
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: for years and years and years and never.

93
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: Met in person. Yeah, that's true. But I mean I

94
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: don't know if they're friends. Some of them are.

95
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: There are people that I see very very rarely, but

96
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: I know when I see them, I know what's going

97
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: on in their lives. Because of Facebook. That's the only

98
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: reason I still have Facebook's I can quickly scroll through

99
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: and I can get the birthdays I can hit the

100
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: birthdays quickly, right, and then because that's important, I rarely

101
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: will message them on Facebook. I'll cheat and I'll go

102
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: to Facebook to see if it's the birthday, and then

103
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: I'll text them, and then people are like, how did

104
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: you remember?

105
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 9: Right?

106
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: I'm on top of it, you know.

107
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: But then there's other other people that like, I'll catch

108
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 2: up with them after years, and I already know all

109
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 2: the things they are telling me because I's owed on Facebook,

110
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 2: but I know them, like, I can't think of anyone

111
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: who I've been quote unquote friends with for you know,

112
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 2: years and never actually like met Hey, Alyssa, you have

113
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 2: an internet friend?

114
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: Really?

115
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 7: Yes?

116
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: Multiple? Okay? Are you a gamer?

117
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 6: Like?

118
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: How does this come about you?

119
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 7: No?

120
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 10: In like twenty seventeen, I was at a friend's house

121
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 10: and used her PlayStation to play a game just once,

122
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 10: and I met people who I really liked, and we

123
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 10: ended up following each other on social media and we

124
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 10: talked pretty often, and they gave me tips on how

125
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 10: to do my hair or makeup. And I've never met them.

126
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 10: They live in an entirely different state.

127
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: Now, what prevents you from just I was gonna say,

128
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 2: bags fly free on Southwest but they don't anymore. So,

129
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: I mean prevents you have it on a spirit and

130
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: you know, ducking from you know, ducking for cover from

131
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: the you know fights in wrestling that happen on spirit

132
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 2: sometimes and just going to see these people like it's

133
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: it's you know, modern air travel is amazing.

134
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

135
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 10: Never genuinely have never thought about it. I think I'm

136
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 10: just okay with them being my phone ferns. And I

137
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 10: think it's really common for like people in gen Z

138
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 10: to have these friends that they've never met that they

139
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 10: used or met through social seek media or other like gaming.

140
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I mean it's kind of crazy. I think

141
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: eventually that my curiosity would get the best of me.

142
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 2: I'd want to meet the people, like I'd want to

143
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: see that they're real. But I don't know, maybe it's

144
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: boundaried and doesn't really matter.

145
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 6: I believe them.

146
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 10: I choose to believe and hope to not get catfished.

147
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, thank you, Lizen, have a good day. Problem.

148
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: This is is a random story, but I I growing up,

149
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 2: I had a family member who I don't think they

150
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: do I don't know what they do anymore, but like

151
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 2: this person had like a receptionist for their office, but

152
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: the receptionist worked in like another office, and you hired

153
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: this company to answer the phone for you, but they

154
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 2: like weren't in the same.

155
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: Office as you.

156
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so like this so one day and so

157
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: I would call this person regularly and the same person

158
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 2: would answer the phone. Never saw this person ever talk

159
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 2: to them. They were in the same city, but like

160
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: they worked in a different office, and then they would

161
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: transfer the call or whatever every day for years. This woman,

162
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: I can't remember her name. And one day I'm in

163
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 2: a doctor's office and my sister's there and my mom's

164
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 2: there's a therapist. My parents are getting divorced, and I

165
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: hear this woman talking behind the desk and it's her.

166
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 2: It's the woman who's been answering the phone for years

167
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: and years and years and years. And like I was

168
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 2: a kid, so it was always oh hi, Christopher, this

169
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 2: whole thing and my sister. I was watching my sister

170
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: for a period of time and she was kind of

171
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 2: acting up and this woman stands it from the desk

172
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: and starts screaming at us to like be quiet, and

173
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 2: I like, she didn't obviously know that, like this little

174
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 2: boy who's like birthday, she celebrated and all this stuff

175
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: like we'd never seen each other. She had no idea.

176
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 2: We were just disrupting her like work, I guess. And

177
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: I wanted to be like, hey, Karen, it's me. You know,

178
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: I'm the kid who's been calling and talk to so

179
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: and so for you know, years and years, but I

180
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: didn't have the heart to do it. But for some reason,

181
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: I think about that story all the time because I

182
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: was like, because this is back before you would have

183
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: any way of knowing what these people look and I

184
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: had no idea who this person was. It was just

185
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: you call every day and you talked to it. Hey

186
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: can I talk to so and so?

187
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah?

188
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: Sure, hold on every single day you make that call

189
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: and it's like, here's this person. And then she screamed

190
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: at me. So it really hurt my feelings and upset me.

191
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: But it's funny. It is like a few hours later

192
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: I called talked to this person, and there's a lady, Okay,

193
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: I got something to talk to you. And I'm like,

194
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: it wasn't two hours ago screaming at me. And I

195
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: know if I'd said something to her like hey, I

196
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: think I know you, I'm so and so, and I

197
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: would have changed everything. But whatever, Holly, Hi, Holly, Hey.

198
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: Hi, it's Holly.

199
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 11: Holly.

200
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: Shit, guys, it's Holly. This is exciting. I'm waiting for you.

201
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: You have an.

202
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: Internet friend through gaming and you've never met this person.

203
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: What's the story?

204
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 12: Correct? So I've been playing this game, it's called the

205
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 12: Old School Rooms game. I played it on and off

206
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 12: for about fifteen years. And I hate so many like

207
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 12: internet friends that you mentioned. I have a friend in

208
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 12: Arizona in the UK, and it's just like a great

209
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 12: like bond that we have.

210
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 13: With the game.

211
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 12: But you know, we all live in a different like

212
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 12: state or country.

213
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 2: Interesting, and so these these friendships, like they you're appeased

214
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: by them only going so far, like they don't need

215
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: to go much further, Like you don't need to run

216
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: and meet these folks. Like it's it's good enough the

217
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: way it is. They could be they could be anyone

218
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: doing anything, and it doesn't matter because it's just it's boundary.

219
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 12: I mean, honestly, if I was, like, let's say, for example,

220
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 12: the friend I have in Arizona that played through the game,

221
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 12: if I were ever to visit, I wouldn't mind saying, hey,

222
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 12: let's you know, meet up because it's like a bunch

223
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 12: of us that are like, I'm in my mid thirties

224
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 12: playing this game, and you know, it's like everyone resonates

225
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 12: because we're in the same age rage playing this game

226
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 12: for fifteen twenty years, and it's just you know, again,

227
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 12: this is something that's fun.

228
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

229
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: I think sometimes like the idea of compartmentalizing a friendship

230
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: and like having it be in its own lane, its

231
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: own little like this is my friend from the game

232
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 2: and we talk about some stuff, but like that's the expectation,

233
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 2: because like, maintaining friendships as an adult can be hard,

234
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: and I think it's why adults, many adults wind up

235
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: with fewer friendships because it's a lot of work. But

236
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 2: now you got this sort of friend but there's no

237
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: real expectation and you're vibing over the game, so it's

238
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: like it's kind of a nice thing.

239
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, Thank you, Holly Lily.

240
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, you don't have to talk about stress and like

241
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 12: all work sucks.

242
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 6: It's just you gone on you play. You're like, hey,

243
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 6: you know, what are.

244
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 12: You doing in the game, and you're just kind of

245
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 12: like making that own little world.

246
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 6: Does that make sense?

247
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah? Fair enough. All right, Well thank you, Holly,

248
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:57,960

258
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 9: started out with everyone sort of harassing each other, you know,

259
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 9: teasing and picking on each other and being really inappropriate,

260
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 9: and we all find out we have the same the

261
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 9: credit appropriate sense of humor.

262
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:46,000

357
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 7: I was in another relationship at the time, but we

358
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 7: were in We're both in an online group of people

359
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 7: who work in hotels, and he is actually in Australia.

360
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 7: He's Australian and we started talking because he was helping

361
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 7: me with an issue I had with the system at work.

362
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 7: And here we are six years later.

363
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: Wow, and you've met.

364
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I went. I lived in Australia for a

365
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 7: year because of him, and he came to visit me.

366
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 7: It was COVID, so we could only talk online for

367
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 7: like three years.

368
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: Only that real life with Methany right here. So what

369
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: happened after how long of chatting? Did you say, I'm

370
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 2: going to Australia to meet you?

371
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 7: Well, he came to us. He came to America.

372
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yeah, good for you.

373
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,000

374
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

375
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 7: I won't be flying there again by myself, that's for sure,

376
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 7: because that was a terrible flight. But yeah, he came here.

377
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 7: I think like three years after we started talking.

378
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: Okay, Wow, so you talk for three years and then

379
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 2: was it every you're engaged now, But like, was it

380
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 2: when you finally saw him after three years of communicating?

381
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: Was it everything you hoped it would be.

382
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 7: Yes, it was a little awkward at first because I

383
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 7: think it was just like so much.

384
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 14: Of a lead up.

385
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, a lot of pressure, a lot of pressure

386
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: after three years. I would think for you to be

387
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: in front of him and him in front of you

388
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: and hope that it matches.

389
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, Luckily it did, because otherwise he I don't

390
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 7: know what would have happened. He was going to be

391
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,480

Speaker 2: me our friend Violetta and said that was funny. It

413
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,120

420
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 2: close enough that but I don't. I don't think I

421
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 2: would spell it right the first time.

422
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 4: I got it.

423
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,200

436
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: one thing though?

437
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 6: Well, so we have a very big age gap. So

438
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 6: I'm twenty four and he is fifty.

439
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so we get a nice, nice twenty

440
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: six year age gap. Now I need to hear both

441
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 2: of Now, I'm not quite fifty. In fact, I'm not

442
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: anyone you're fifty. But but but you know, let's defend

443
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: the older let's defend the older men dating the younger

444
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: women thing for a moment until I hear the old thing.

445
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 2: So how did you meet? And like, why are we

446
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: talking of? If you're happy? I get that it's a

447
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 2: huge age gap, but like what's the insecurity?

448
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: Like where does it come from? Why are we talking? Well?

449
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 6: We met while we were both out, and this is

450
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 6: not like a thing for me, like I don't seek

451
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 6: out men that are older than me. But we met

452
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 6: at a bar. I thought he was much younger than fifty.

453
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 6: He does not look fifty, and I approached him and

454
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 6: then we got along and after talking for a while,

455
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 6: he was like, by the way, how old are you?

456
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 6: So I wasn't like looking for this, but it just

457
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 6: kind of happened. And we've been dating for six months now,

458
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 6: so it's like kind of getting to be time to

459
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 6: introduce into my family. But I'm very afraid of how

460
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 6: they're going to react. They know that I'm dating someone,

461
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 6: but they don't know his age.

462
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: Does he have kids? How old are his kids?

463
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 6: He does not have kids?

464
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: Okay, because that could get a little weird.

465
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know if I agree, if.

466
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 1: His kids were you know, close to your age. And

467
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: there's my dad, right, yeah, that's right, your dad has

468
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: dated someone. You're one of your friends?

469
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 3: Right, Well I'm not her friend, but we did attend

470
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 3: the same high school at one point.

471
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're not friends now are we?

472
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 4: We never were?

473
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: But help no, mom?

474
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 13: Right?

475
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness.

476
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: So weird.

477
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 2: And so your family's like, oh, this is so exciting,

478
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: Briann has meant someone or whatever. How do you I mean,

479
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: is your dad? Let me see, if you're twenty four

480
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: your dad your dad could very easily be close to

481
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 2: his age, which could make things kind of weird. I mean,

482
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: are you worried about what they're going to say.

483
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: I am.

484
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't think they're going to tell me

485
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 6: to break up with him, but I don't think they're

486
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 6: going to be like jumping for joy about it. And

487
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 6: my friends know about him and they're concerned. They've told

488
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 6: me that they're concerned.

489
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: Well that says a lot.

490
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 2: Now why it's a huge age gap, right, But like

491
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: why if you're happy, why are they concerned?

492
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: Would be my question?

493
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 6: Well, none of them have met him, and I think

494
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 6: they're just like, why is a fifty year old man

495
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 6: dating a twenty four year old? Like they think it

496
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 6: reflects badly on him, but he's such a great guy

497
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 6: and they don't know him.

498
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: Hm.

499
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 2: So I have a lot of questions. First of all,

500
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 2: eight five three five you know, you know what? What

501
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 2: what do you think when you hear this this twenty

502
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 2: four year old fifty year old dynamic? I also would

503
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: ask the question like why is it necessarily a bad look?

504
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: Like if you're a mature twenty four year old and

505
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 2: he's a decent guy and he's not a perver weirdo

506
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: o ord creep, then I guess I don't know why

507
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: this could be a thing like, yeah, it's unorthodox, but

508
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 2: like why.

509
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I mean I've dated

510
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: people of all ages. I'm forty four.

511
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: I've dated people anywhere from twenty five to over fifty,

512
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 2: so I've gone both ways. But like, if I date

513
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 2: someone who's over fifty, no one says anything about that.

514
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: I've dated people who are twenty eight and the next

515
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 2: person I date is my age, and they think that

516
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 2: they think I'm disgusting for that.

517
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: But is am I disgusting for that? Or is there

518
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: an insecurity about that?

519
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: It's like, well, you were dating someone so much younger,

520
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: what are you doing with me? It's like, well, because

521
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 2: I can like both things, right, Like, I'm not necessarily

522
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 2: I'm not targeting twenty somethings, But if I meet someone

523
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 2: that I connect with you, then I'm not really sure

524
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 2: that I care about the age necessarily. But your priorities

525
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: may differ. I mean, he's fifty, Like, do you want kids?

526
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 2: He may not want kids, he may want not want

527
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 2: to start now, Like I feel like that's the kind

528
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: of stuff that might get.

529
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: You in trouble. Em heard, I mean, do you want kids?

530
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: She's like received, yeah, yeah, yeat you know, do you

531
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: want kids?

532
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 14: I think I do?

533
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, well I meant it. Do you? I mean,

534
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: have you had that discussion with it?

535
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 2: I feel like it's that kind of stuff that where

536
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 2: you you might have an issue because you might very

537
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 2: well be very mature for your age and and find

538
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 2: that this guy offers security and money, a parental figure,

539
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 2: you know, or something that may be Well, I'm just saying, like,

540
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 2: you're allowed to You're allowed to be to gravitate towards

541
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 2: whatever you need, right, and maybe and there's something wrong.

542
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: You're both adults, right, I mean, there's there's nothing inherently

543
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 2: wrong about this. But I guess I wonder, like, do

544
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: you do you think that you will align on all

545
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 2: of the principles and all of the goals that you

546
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: have for one another?

547
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, those are valid concerns, But I am also just

548
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 6: kind of like living in the moment of this relationship,

549
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 6: and for the moment, it's very good.

550
00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: Is he rich?

551
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 6: Hell?

552
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 7: Yeah?

553
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 13: Yeah?

554
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: When leaving me the.

555
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 2: Beau, I want to make that like, you know, when

556
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 2: I was twenty four, I'm surprised that anybody went out

557
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 2: with me. When I was thirty four, I'm surprised that

558
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 2: anybody went out with me, to be honest, like, the

559
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: difference between the human being that and I'm not sure

560
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 2: that's saying much, but the difference between the human being

561
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 2: I am now and I was twenty years ago is

562
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 2: significantly different. And I don't know, I'm much more settled.

563
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: I'm much more kind of like, you know, I don't know.

564
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: I don't have anything to prove to anybody anymore.

565
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: I am who I am. I don't know.

566
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 2: I think I'm a better version of myself. You know,

567
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 2: back then, I thought I was hot stuff, and I

568
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 2: I don't know, I had a lot to prove. I

569
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 2: didn't have any resources. I didn't know, you know, my

570
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 2: butt from a hole in the wall, you know whatever.

571
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: I just so, I guess I can see why younger

572
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 2: women gravitate towards older men. I just wonder, I just

573
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 2: wonder how long you're you're sort of you're going to

574
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 2: be on how many points you were aligned? Or hey,

575
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 2: are you happy not having kids and being with a

576
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 2: guy he's much older, who's rich and there's security there?

577
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 2: And I mean, I guess, I guess this all depends

578
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 2: on what your priorities are.

579
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 6: Right, God, lots to think about geez.

580
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well, let me take some calls on this,

581
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 2: Brianna and I will have to follow up. I can't

582
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 2: wait to hear and let me get Let me guess, Brianna,

583
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 2: he's got money, he's he's he's mature and confident and

584
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 2: the sex is really good.

585
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: Right, what's the problem at Brianna?

586
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 2: Thank you, good luck, have a good day, keep the

587
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 2: radio and we'll see what people have to say. Bye, Calyn,

588
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 2: you've done something like this.

589
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty was where I maxed out, maxed out, excuse me,

590
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 3: choked up there?

591
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: Think about it. Emotional, Yeah, yeah, when beneath my wings.

592
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, twenty is where I maxed out. But I don't know.

593
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I do also have concerns, Like one of

594
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: the reasons that I'm not so in that relationship is

595
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 3: like I and this is dark, but like I took

596
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 3: care of my grandpa as he was dying, and I

597
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 3: was like, I'm about to do that and like ten

598
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 3: years for this man, you know what I.

599
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 4: Mean, Like I just thought I can't do it again.

600
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: He's in his fifties.

601
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 4: Yeah he was fi.

602
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: I think you had a little bit more time than that, hopefully,

603
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, I hear what you're saying.

604
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 4: I was like, I can't do that.

605
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: You're going to be a caretaker at some point you

606
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: marry this guy.

607
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that was part of it.

608
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 3: Honestly, I was like, I need I need a little

609
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: because I want to have kids.

610
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 2: But I think I I don't want to say anything.

611
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 2: I think that generally women think that men who date

612
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 2: women who are much younger are doing it like it's

613
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 2: only to their benefit, like it's just about sexually, just

614
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 2: about you own body, or just about just about or

615
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 2: or somehow it's like navita or lack of maturity or

616
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 2: manipulation or something. Not every twenty something I've gone out

617
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 2: with appealed to me right, like they could be banging

618
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 2: in every way, but like we couldn't connect because we

619
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 2: didn't have similar priorities because they were I mean, I've

620
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 2: met very mature late twenties, early thirties people who are

621
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: they you know that they're not into the partying that

622
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 2: into the things are traditionally stereotypically young stuff, stuff that

623
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 2: we all did go out and going out every weekend

624
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 2: and going out and getting crazy stuff that you maybe

625
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,479
Speaker 2: don't do when you get a little bit older. So

626
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 2: it hasn't always appealed to me, right, Like, sometimes I've

627
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 2: noticed the maturity gap and it doesn't work. So I

628
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 2: don't think it's in And sure, I think there are

629
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: guys out there with a boat and they're rich and

630
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 2: they're old and they're divorced and they just want hot

631
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 2: chicks and they don't care about talking to them or connecting.

632
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 2: It's fine too, and that's all right too if you're

633
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 2: transparent about that. But I don't know that it's I

634
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 2: don't know that it's always as it looks. I think

635
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 2: there are examples where it's like that, and I think

636
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: there are examples from the other way where the girl

637
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 2: has really no interest in the guy. He has interest

638
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: in the money and the resources and not getting messed with,

639
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 2: you know, or not being with an F boy, a

640
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 2: younger F boy, right, and like herl.

641
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 3: Like, who's asking I mean, I'm not asking ages, so

642
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 3: you know, like for my ex, for example, he looked

643
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 3: he didn't look his age, So who's like going, wait,

644
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 3: how old are you?

645
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 13: No?

646
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 2: Which I am? You say, this is too big of

647
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 2: an age gap. This is a hard nol for you.

648
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, And when he was twenty four years old, was

649
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 11: born she was. I mean when he was twenty four

650
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 11: she was born. That's no, absolutely not. I have a

651
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 11: daughter that's almost that age, and I would absolutely not

652
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 11: be on board with this.

653
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: So she comes home with me. I mean, let me

654
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: ask you this. She's she's around twenty four, your daughter.

655
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 14: Diane, she's twenty five.

656
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 2: Okay, And I'm sure that in her life you've seen

657
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 2: her dates some real douchebags that are her own age, right,

658
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 2: And they're douchebags maybe not because they're inherently bad people,

659
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 2: but because they're young and stupid and naive and and

660
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 2: and immature, because we all are before we know better, right,

661
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 2: So like, would you there's no way that you could

662
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: see this for what it is, which is maybe he's

663
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 2: a decent guy and they connect's and he's got his

664
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: act together more than somebody her own age might.

665
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 14: I can't.

666
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 7: That's my husband's age.

667
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 6: It's it's so appropriate because by.

668
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 11: The time she's going to have babies with him, he's

669
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 11: going to be ready for bad'nh.

670
00:27:58,560 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: The wrong with that.

671
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 4: You're ready for bad.

672
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: Let's the big time, all right?

673
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 11: They're going to be falling apart.

674
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: Come on now, right, I see the concerns.

675
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 2: I see the concerns, but I guess I take it

676
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 2: more to are their lifestyles going to align? Are their

677
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 2: goals going to align? Because I do think it's possible

678
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 2: that they both could be good people. And yeah, okay,

679
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 2: thank you, Diane, I know, I know, yeah, okay, well,

680
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 2: thank you, Diane.

681
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: Have a good day. You may not want to have kids.

682
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 2: You may want to, I don't know, travel the world

683
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: and and be secure and and and maybe that that

684
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 2: guy can offer that, and someone your own age can.

685
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I think I think we all assume that

686
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 2: everybody has similar priorities, and maybe this woman doesn't. I don't,

687
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 2: but she did say she was thinking about kids, and

688
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 2: so that's an issue. Hey, Liz, Hi high Liz, So

689
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 2: you this resonates with you. You've been on the on

690
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 2: her side of this.

691
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 13: Yes, not such any huge age cap. But I dated

692
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 13: someone who was fifteen years older than me years ago.

693
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 13: I'm thirty now, and I dated this person when I

694
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 13: was twenty two, and my parents.

695
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 7: Were not on board with it.

696
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 13: They they didn't like it. It was more like I've

697
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 13: never looked my age, so I look way younger than

698
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 13: I actually am, and they just thought it was weird,

699
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 13: and I've dated that person for like two years, and.

700
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: When why did it all?

701
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 2: I'm sorry interrupt you, but why did it ultimately not

702
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 2: work out?

703
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 13: I think it was like I had a different mentality

704
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 13: back then, Like I wanted to go out and party

705
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 13: and do all this stuff. When you're like twenty and

706
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 13: he's always here trying to like settle down and start

707
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 13: a family and everything.

708
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 7: It was more like that type of thing.

709
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 1: I see.

710
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 2: Okay, so you were attracted to each other and there

711
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 2: was like a connection maybe physically or whatever, but again

712
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: your priorities were different. Yes, yeah, yeah, okay, Well thank you, Liz,

713
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 2: good day, Glad you called. That's what That's where I

714
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: think ultimately they may align.

715
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: I don't know.

716
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: Not every twenty four year old wants to go out

717
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 2: and get hammered every weekend. Not every fifty year old

718
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 2: is like you know, in a recliner on an AARP website,

719
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, I think there's probably a compromise

720
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: in there somewhere. Hey, Diane, another Diane, Diane number two,

721
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 2: uh huh, certainly no less important than Diane number one,

722
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 2: just the second one to call in this segment. What

723
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 2: do you think This is a woman who called in

724
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 2: Stay Orgo. She's twenty four didyan guy who's fifty. Her

725
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 2: friends are concerned, her family doesn't know, and she's been

726
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 2: with him for six months and is happy but isn't sure.

727
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 5: What do you think, Well, I think if she were

728
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 5: confident in knowing that this is a good relationship for her,

729
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 5: it's really healthy and strong. It doesn't matter what other

730
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 5: people think. But I'll tell you I think her parents

731
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 5: might pick up on that and say, wow, this could

732
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 5: be really good for you, because that's what happened with me.

733
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 5: And I was forty five. He was twenty three years

734
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 5: older than me. He was the age of my father,

735
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 5: and of course they had some you know, like a

736
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 5: second thought. But when they met him, they could see

737
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 5: how he related to me and how I related to him,

738
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 5: and it was wonderful.

739
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 6: My mom actually cried when we broke up.

740
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 14: Oh wow.

741
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: And what ultimately was the demise of the relationship.

742
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 5: What ultimately happened, Well, what happened was it was an

743
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 5: energy difference where he actually had more energy than I did.

744
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 5: I was more of a deep thinker, profound meditation, spirituality

745
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 5: kind of a person, and he was more of a

746
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 5: let's go travel, Let's go here, let's go there.

747
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 7: And I'm the world's worst traveler.

748
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 5: So I wanted him to be free to do what

749
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 5: he really felt like he wanted to do. And I said,

750
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 5: you know this, I really need to let you go.

751
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: Oh wow wow.

752
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 2: And Diane, I think I feel like when people hear

753
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 2: these age gaps, all they're thinking about, or at least

754
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 2: the first thing that comes to their mind sex. The

755
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 2: first thing that comes to our mind is this is

756
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 2: this is about sex, This is about the physicality the

757
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 2: old guy wants young girl. And I don't that's certainly

758
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 2: probably an element in a lot of these cases, but

759
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 2: I don't think it is in everyone.

760
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: No.

761
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 5: Oh, no, gosh no. I mean that was part of it,

762
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 5: and we both had kind of like wounded backgrounds in

763
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 5: that area. But the other part of it was that

764
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 5: we were so deeply connected in a just a fundamental

765
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 5: way that we had fun no matter what we did.

766
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: Yeah and so yeah, in which case, it had nothing

767
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 2: to do with age. Really, it had more to do

768
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 2: with your interests and what you guys wanted to do

769
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: in life. And I think that the situation you ran

770
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 2: into could happen if you were the same age, or

771
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 2: if you were thirty years apart.

772
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 4: So sorry, think about it, oh.

773
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 5: All the time, and we still stay in touch. He's

774
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 5: a lawyer. He did my mother's papers before she passed.

775
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 5: He was at my dad's funeral. I mean we cried together.

776
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 5: He's do a wonderful trimd.

777
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: But you won't reconcile. There's no way that that you

778
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: can see, you know, finding some common grounds at.

779
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 6: This point he's in his nineties.

780
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: Oh that's a parent. Well I'm going to say, you

781
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: know when I can. You want to get his papers

782
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:20,680
