0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:22.320
<v Speaker 1>other reason than Jared is um at his home instead

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:26.280
<v Speaker 1>of being in the closet at Audrey's. It's not the closet,

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:28.319
<v Speaker 1>it's the office. It just looks like a closet. I

0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:31.319
<v Speaker 1>gotta clean it up, I gotta organize well, wherever it is.

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 1>We're happy to have you back in a safe space

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>where you're not going to be distracted with things like

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>work or coffee or pastries. Now, speaking of coffee, actually,

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.600
<v Speaker 1>actually I just brewed a cup? Can you make me? Yeah?

0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I just brewed You want to make me a cup? Oh?

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:49.559
<v Speaker 1>You're so lovely. Sorry, I actually just came from the

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>coffee shop. I'm running around, dude. I feel like I've

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 1>been drowning the past two weeks and just trying to

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>keep my head above water. It's I mean, I've never

0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 1>held more alive if that matters. Thank you, love you? Um?

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Well that's good. Um. How has the first two weeks

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>been busy? So busy? It's been great though, Like I

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.119
<v Speaker 1>feel so lucky that we've been so busy. But bro,

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>it's been busy, yeah, all day. I think it's it's

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 1>like you said, it's better to be busy than not

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>to be busy enough, right, so it has it? Has

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>it met expectations? Has it exceeded expectations? Where are we

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:28.039
<v Speaker 1>at on the expectation scale? I think for business purposes

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>in terms of uh volume, it's exceeded my expectations. I

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:33.320
<v Speaker 1>thought we were going to be busy, but I didn't

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>think we're gonna be this busy consistently. Like I thought,

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, oh yeah, Saturday busy, Sunday will be all right, Monday,

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.399
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday probably dead, and we'll start getting into a rhythm

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 1>of things. People will know we're open every day, every day,

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>every day. But that's great. I can't complain about it.

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>What I can complain about, though, is like I'm there

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>sixteen hours a day at least all day every day.

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm tired, I'm exhausted. What is it is the UM?

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Is it like Bachelor fans come ming? Or is it

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>coffee snobs? Or is it um? There's no snobs? Okay,

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>those are my customers. They're not snobs. They're wonderful human

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:16.640
<v Speaker 1>beings who attend great coffee shops. That's what they do. Uh.

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, so the coffee snobs, Yeah they suck. But

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I I'm losing my mind. A lot of bachelor fans

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>come in take pictures. They're so sweet. They give us gifts,

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>They've given us baby gifts. Um I'm I'm I feel

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>bad for them because I could tell that they're excited

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 1>to meet me, but they really want to meet Ashley.

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>So it's like always like, oh, that's cool, Jared's here,

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 1>but where's Ashley. I'm like, oh, well, she's home. And

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:42.919
<v Speaker 1>they're like, oh, well, I guess we'll take a picture

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>with you. And I'm like, yeah, I mean, I guess

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>that's cool. And then we take a picture and then

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.519
<v Speaker 1>I go back to sweeping the floor. But it's fun,

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>it's good. I love the hospitality industry. I just wish

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>it's just hard, right because we are a brand new business.

0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>So like the first couple of weeks, first, like a

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.359
<v Speaker 1>couple of months, really we're just getting into the rim

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.800
<v Speaker 1>of the things with ordering and staffing and and you know,

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.920
<v Speaker 1>consistency and menu options and things of that nature. But

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.359
<v Speaker 1>because of how many people are there constantly. It's like

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 1>we all we just have to hit the ground running

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.640
<v Speaker 1>and that's difficult, that's hard, but we're doing it. We're grinding.

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's the day in the life of

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:24.119
<v Speaker 1>every bachelor couple is you'll get approached and they'll they'll

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I guess they'll talk to the guy first because maybe

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:28.880
<v Speaker 1>for whatever reason, they feel more comfortable talking to them.

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 1>And then when it really gets down to the nitty gritty,

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>all they ever say is, um, can I get a

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>picture with your girlfriend or your wife? Every single time? Oh? Yeah.

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>It's funny too, because once you learn to uh, to

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 1>expect that, you know, they like they'll like create a

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 1>little chit chat small talk, and then eventually I'm just like,

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>you want a picture with Klin, don't you, And they're like, yeah,

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much. It's funny. It's um, it's you know,

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not a bad way to live. I suppose it's

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>always nice to see the smile that it puts on

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 1>both Klin's face and I'm sure Ashley's face. When Ashley

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>and I first got together, because we got engage down

0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 1>in obviously Paradise and we were with Tanner J and

0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I remember Tanner was like, get used to be second fiddle, buddy, Like,

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>get get used to just everyone liking her more. I

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, yeah, all right, that's fine. But like I said,

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>it's okay, I'm always happy to take a back seat. Um,

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 1>there was something I wanted to say or ask, I guess,

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.960
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't get the chance to. Um, why are

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:23.599
<v Speaker 1>you thinking about it? I have something I have a

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.920
<v Speaker 1>bone to pick with. So not with you with another

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 1>gentleman on this podcast who asked me not to call

0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 1>him out on air. But you know what, well, let

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 1>me just popped up on my screen. I'm gonna call

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 1>him ou on air. Let me let me paint the

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 1>picture because I was paint away Picasso. So last week,

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>while Jared was so tentatively tending to his garden all

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 1>the coffee shop, uh, there was a lot of discussion

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>both about him, um around him. Yeah, but bts. You know,

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 1>it's a very very interesting podcast. So if you haven't

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.040
<v Speaker 1>listened to it yet, go back and listen to that podcast.

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 1>But there was a pretty substant dull section of that

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 1>podcast that's been omitted by our incredible producers. Slash sound

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 1>engineer Easton Allen Um and the reason it was omitted,

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>which is it just became news to me as well

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.039
<v Speaker 1>at the top of this episode, is because he was

0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.159
<v Speaker 1>talking a lot of crap about Jared and he felt

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 1>a little too guilty about talking crap behind his back.

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>But in reality, it wasn't really crap that he was talking.

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 1>He was simply saying he was rewatching Caitlin Bristow season

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.280
<v Speaker 1>of The Bachelor at and it was his first time

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.359
<v Speaker 1>seeing Jared in that light of you know, going on

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 1>a date, walking across the bridge looking out and talking

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 1>about how great their lives could be together. Um so,

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Easton or Jared, I guess if you guys want to

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.800
<v Speaker 1>chime in and squash this beef, because it has been

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.160
<v Speaker 1>there has been a lot of tension between the two

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 1>of you since we got on this podcast. My beef

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.919
<v Speaker 1>is with the fact that Easton don't have bro. You

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:48.839
<v Speaker 1>can make fun of me anytime. It makes better content, Okay,

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm all for creating better content for our listeners, So

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>you roast away. I was going to bring it up

0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 1>to you when we did the show last week and

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 1>then he disappeared, but I still wanted to talk about it.

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>And then I went through this roller coaster of emotions.

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 1>After the show wrapped, I was like, oh man, I

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 1>know it was just good fun, but like I felt

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 1>bad because Jared wasn't there. Uh. And then I'm like,

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll just take it out. No one will ever know

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Dan and Jared. I'm gonna listen to this where I'll be.

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 1>It'll be the perfect crime. And then I said I

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 1>felt guilty about that, so I'm like, i gotta tell

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.480
<v Speaker 1>him that I took it out, but I'll say it again.

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll just say it here. Uh. Ashley was giving a

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 1>tour of Audrey's on Instagram and I saw the really

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:35.159
<v Speaker 1>cool wall with like the newspapers from like Superman and

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Titanic and stuff. I was getting really bumped on that.

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:43.720
<v Speaker 1>And then I, uh, I googled you or something just

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:45.599
<v Speaker 1>because I was I was just laying in bed thinking

0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:49.279
<v Speaker 1>about you, and uh, I realized I had never seen

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>your season of The Bachelorette, like when you were first on.

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.479
<v Speaker 1>So I started just watching this YouTube clip and it

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 1>was this one where you're in Ireland and Caitlin picked

0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Caitlin Bristow picked you to ride in a car with

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.040
<v Speaker 1>her and the other guys had a right the other

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 1>guys had to ride in a bus and it was

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 1>just I'm just so used to seeing you and Ashley,

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Like that's the version of you that I know. Like

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>when I first met you, you you were single and then

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 1>you've been with Ashley the whole time, so it's so

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.760
<v Speaker 1>weird to see you. The father that really got me

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 1>is you're driving with Caitlin's driving. You're in the car

0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you say something like, um, wow, this is

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 1>such a beautiful place, but it's so much better being

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 1>here with you or something like that. That's that's just

0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>natural suave right there. That is natural charisma, charm. That's

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>what they call it. My friend, it's just a trip

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>to see you. Like, I don't know, it's it's it's

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 1>funny because to me, you exist, both of you guys

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 1>exist outside of the world with a bachelor like for real,

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.360

<v Speaker 1>I'm the warm blanket Eastern. What childhood game or toy

<v Speaker 1>would you consider yourself as when it comes to flirting? Uh? Yeah,

0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I'd say um ferby, you know, because I talk it

0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 1>in opportune times and I'm weird and yeah yeah, and

0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>you just stare. You need to blink. I just stare

0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.839
<v Speaker 1>and you know I'll be gone but not really out

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:06.120
<v Speaker 1>of your thoughts. That kind of you linger. Yeah, that's interesting.

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Caitlin and I were talking about it the other day

0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>to randomly. We were like, God, it would really suck

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.080
<v Speaker 1>to have to go back and like Dane again. Like,

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.160
<v Speaker 1>imagine just going back and being in the dating pool again.

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.840
<v Speaker 1>It would be one of the most miserable experiences of

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:22.040
<v Speaker 1>all time. And I'm saying that I'm the least I've

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>had the least flitting here between the three of us.

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Jared is obviously married, been with Ashley for like four

0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 1>years now, Eastern You've been with Alison for what twenty

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.160
<v Speaker 1>five years? So, uh, my two and a half year

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 1>relationship doesn't really seem to even stack up to those ones.

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.719
<v Speaker 1>But even that were, like, dude, being back in the

0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 1>dating pool would be it would just be like having

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 1>to flirt again and having to like, you know, on again.

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>And I guess it just sounds so miserable and and challenging.

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel bad anybody who's listening who's been through a

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 1>divorce and has to go back into the dating pool.

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh God, indeed, those poor poor souls. My heart goes

0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 1>out to every single one of you. Right not to

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 1>say there's no hope, it just it seems like a

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:07.440
<v Speaker 1>large mountain decline. Not that it's not uh not unclimbable,

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 1>but just to seem a little challenging. What toy would

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Dean be? What childhood toy would Dean be? I think, Dean,

0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 1>for some reason, you remind me of a care bear,

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:22.440
<v Speaker 1>like the blue one right on. What teddy bears would

0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 1>you write on? Anybody remember marker teddy Bears? Kind of

0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:28.720
<v Speaker 1>and you'd wash them and the market would come out.

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. The blue is the most boyous, That's

0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 1>why I said blue. But for some reason, Dean, you

0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:34.679
<v Speaker 1>remind me of a care bear. Blue care bear is

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the one at the moon and the star on his chest.

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.520
<v Speaker 1>I think, um, thanks man, I appreciate that. I think

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 1>that should be your next tattoo. That's just me. He'd

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>be like a brown care bear with hot cheetos on

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>his stomach. That's what he'd be. He'd be a new

0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 1>care bear. Why brown, I don't know. You just give

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.200
<v Speaker 1>me brown energy. I guess we're actually are you going

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 1>to get tattoos somewhrew you guys want to see what

0:10:55.640 --> 0:11:00.319
<v Speaker 1>they look like? Shuts? Yeah, matching tattoos boyfriend girlfriend tat twos,

0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 1>which I'm sure if you guys remember the story, but

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.720
<v Speaker 1>we were supposed to get matching tattoos when we first

0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>started dating. And she bailed out the last second. But

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 1>this is what we're gonna get tomorrow. Oh my god,

0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 1>isn't that cute. It's a little out for the listeners

0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:15.800
<v Speaker 1>that can't see, it's an outline of Pappy's face, and

0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 1>it's a little tongue stick. That was Oh my god.

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I always I was just about to say, I feel

0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 1>like matching tattoos is the kiss of death for a relationship,

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:29.160
<v Speaker 1>but getting an outline of Pappy, that's that's acceptable. And

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 1>and too, for the record, she's just gonna get the

0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 1>ears and I'm going to get the bottom half of

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.480
<v Speaker 1>his face. So while it is it is matching to

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.439
<v Speaker 1>a large degree, it's not entirely the same where you

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.400
<v Speaker 1>guys getting him. Oh, I'm gonna get mine on my

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.839
<v Speaker 1>leg and she's gonna get hers on her arm. And

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 1>it's funny too, because we're like looking into fostering another

0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:50.200
<v Speaker 1>senior dog again. And and you know, the more senior

0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.120
<v Speaker 1>dogs you foster, the more um dog deaths. I guess

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:54.439
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have to deal with. And so I made

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 1>a joke the other day that was like, in twenty years,

0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have a full sleeve of just like dead

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 1>dogs on your arm, um, And we we made a

0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:03.760
<v Speaker 1>promise to each other that this is the one and

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:08.040
<v Speaker 1>only dog tattoo, dog related tattoo that we're gonna get

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 1>for ourselves, because we don't want to have to have,

0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:14.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, twenty tattoos of uh dog head outlines all

0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.679
<v Speaker 1>over our bodies, as cool as that would be, but um,

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.000
<v Speaker 1>he just knows what you know, how to say the

0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.840
<v Speaker 1>right thing huh and make people feel better. Hey, Caitlin,

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 1>just think in twenty years you're gonna have a whole

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 1>arm of the dogs up there. That should make you

0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 1>feel better. You Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. I guess when

0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 1>you put it into that perspective, it doesn't sound very good.

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 1>But we have been looking pretty extensively at like new

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 1>dogs that we want to foster, and they're all older.

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.679
<v Speaker 1>And we found this incredible dog who like just got

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:42.959
<v Speaker 1>hit by a car and she's like in recovery and

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.600
<v Speaker 1>you want her so bad, but she's like eight years old. Um.

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.400
<v Speaker 1>And then there's other like every dog that we're interested in.

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.160
<v Speaker 1>We've we've made a point of this. We want to

0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:51.959
<v Speaker 1>find like a like a for lack of a better word,

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 1>like a broken dog. So we've got one with like

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 1>a hard issue that we really want. We've got one

0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:57.360
<v Speaker 1>with a broken leg that we really want. We've got

0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:00.079
<v Speaker 1>one that's like blind that we really want. Um. And

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 1>so you know, with those things comes a lot of

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 1>possibility for for death. So UM, I guess, mark my words,

0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:08.679
<v Speaker 1>we're not gonna have any more. Pappy is like the

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 1>one true love of our lives. He's like the first

0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.560
<v Speaker 1>and then everything else. Everyone else is going to be great,

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.640
<v Speaker 1>but you always love your first and most. So that's

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.120
<v Speaker 1>why we're getting a Pappy tattoo. And I think we

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>justified it that way too. I think the Pappy tattoo,

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.079
<v Speaker 1>it would be cool if she's getting the ears and

0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 1>you're getting the bottom half. If it was like you

0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:28.079
<v Speaker 1>guys could like put them together and it forms Pappy's face.

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 1>That's why I was asking where you were getting him, right,

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Like Captain Planet, with our powers combined, we create the

0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:39.439
<v Speaker 1>loving memory of Peppy. I'm I'm doing the ears as well,

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:41.439
<v Speaker 1>just with in addition to the bottom. It's gonna be

0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.600
<v Speaker 1>right at my sock line. And so when I'm wearing socks,

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:45.199
<v Speaker 1>his little ears are gonna be poking up above the

0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.680
<v Speaker 1>socks and then you pull the socks down. Boom. Cute

0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:51.400
<v Speaker 1>little dog right there, the little pappy. But I don't

0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.560
<v Speaker 1>enough about me, enough about my my, uh my, sob

0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.400
<v Speaker 1>story of tattoos. Um. We don't have any guests this

0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 1>week for you guys, which is unfortunate. I guess Jared

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:01.680
<v Speaker 1>I kind of counts as a guest. We will consider

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Jared a guest. So wee no coffee shop, proud owner

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.959
<v Speaker 1>of new coffee shop Audrey's in uh Providence, Rhode Island,

0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:14.160
<v Speaker 1>but South Kingston, Rhode Island. South Kingston, Rhode Island. Is

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:15.719
<v Speaker 1>that where the where was that beach that you took

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 1>us to where a cupcake got a concussion? Uh? That

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.720
<v Speaker 1>was second beach that's in Newport. So that's like fifteen

0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 1>minutes away. How hard is Audrey's from your house, the

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:29.400
<v Speaker 1>one that we're currently in about twenty five minutes? And

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.280
<v Speaker 1>what about the didn't just buy a house? We did do?

0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Be closed today? We go sign in like two hours?

0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.840
<v Speaker 1>What wait? That was? That's funny? Okay, So I remember

0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:41.600
<v Speaker 1>you talking about looking at a house, but you're actually

0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:45.120
<v Speaker 1>closing on it. Finally, No, we're closing, we're signing. Everything's

0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.760
<v Speaker 1>coming together. We started a business, bought a house, my

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:54.760
<v Speaker 1>wife's pregnant. I'm doing a podcasts about it. You know.

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 1>It's it's very similar to my brother's story. He got

0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 1>married in July. Uh, they conceived their child on the

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:02.600
<v Speaker 1>wedding night, and then they bought a house at the

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 1>end of the month. So they got married, conceived the baby,

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:09.240
<v Speaker 1>and bought a house. So it's that's what is all about.

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.800
<v Speaker 1>I guess. I know. I was talking to a customer

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:18.440
<v Speaker 1>earlier today and he's like, what you okay, Ashley said,

0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.160
<v Speaker 1>We're not going to make it through this. That's how

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>my day is going. My wife telling me, we're not

0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:27.200

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, I can't be too excited because I don't

0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:35.560
<v Speaker 1>know how Jared's gonna help me move, because it doesn't

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:37.800
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't that make me sound like the biggest asshole. No,

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.280
<v Speaker 1>it's not. It's just like everybody's like, are you excited

0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:43.360
<v Speaker 1>for the house? I'm like, well, I don't know how

0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to get everything over there, because then my

0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.520
<v Speaker 1>eight months pregnant self is gonna have to pack this

0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:51.840
<v Speaker 1>place up, and then I'm putting bacon on the table. Okay,

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I still put bacon on the table simultaneously. I know

0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm tired. I know you're tired. We're both tired. Well,

0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:02.000
<v Speaker 1>you obviously gonna hire movers, there's no question about that.

0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.000
<v Speaker 1>But you're talking about you're going to hire movers. But

0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.400
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, it's the packing that's the worst part.

0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Is the packing the place up and then unpacking the

0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:11.280
<v Speaker 1>other place up. I just feel like we're going to

0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.080
<v Speaker 1>be living in an actual trash bent until April. I

0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:16.040
<v Speaker 1>think this is a good time to ask if there's

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.800
<v Speaker 1>anybody listening to this podcast who's ever bought a house,

0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:21.240
<v Speaker 1>started business, and had a baby at the same time. Well,

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say, or just wanted to come

0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:28.960
<v Speaker 1>pack for us? Email me DM me. I'm sure you

0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.159
<v Speaker 1>get a nice laundry list of people doing that, you

0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.040
<v Speaker 1>can describe the house to us, Like what is the

0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:37.600
<v Speaker 1>house like you describe I described you know, it's got

0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:43.280
<v Speaker 1>windows and doors, and wanted to describe it. Okay, So

0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:46.240
<v Speaker 1>everybody like, it's interesting how people are so invested in

0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.680
<v Speaker 1>real estate because on Instagram, like besides baby stuff, like

0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:51.639
<v Speaker 1>people want to know, like what we decided on for

0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.840
<v Speaker 1>a house, and I haven't even said anything yet because

0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 1>like I didn't want to say anything until it was

0:17:55.320 --> 0:18:01.639
<v Speaker 1>like actually purchased. Um, so it's not like our forever house,

0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.200
<v Speaker 1>or at least we don't imagine it to be. We're

0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 1>in a really weird, sticky situation where we found a

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.680
<v Speaker 1>lot in the ideal spot that we wanted, but like

0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.480
<v Speaker 1>it's too early to buy it, which is so weird.

0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.040
<v Speaker 1>And we also knew that, like we're not in the

0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:17.840
<v Speaker 1>right place of life to like design a house and

0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:22.160
<v Speaker 1>build our own. And we also shouldn't be spending money

0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:24.400
<v Speaker 1>on rent anymore. And we needed a little more space

0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.720
<v Speaker 1>in the apartment gives us when the baby comes. So

0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:31.840
<v Speaker 1>we found this. This place is a three bedroom house.

0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 1>It's a new construction, so it's just completed. We were

0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:36.960
<v Speaker 1>we went and design it, but we were able to

0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:40.399
<v Speaker 1>put our own finishing touches, Like we were able to

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.600
<v Speaker 1>pick courts, we were able to pick the floor color,

0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:46.159
<v Speaker 1>we were able to pick out some light fixtures and

0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.720
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that. We're just kind of like the perfect

0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:53.399
<v Speaker 1>compromise right now. And yeah, the the only downside is

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:57.040
<v Speaker 1>this we live in We're going to be living in

0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 1>an area that doesn't have food delivery. Apparently there's not

0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:05.399
<v Speaker 1>even a pizza place that will deliver. Yeah, my facialist

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:07.719
<v Speaker 1>lives there, and she said, you don't even get pizza delivery.

0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:12.160
<v Speaker 1>That's ridiculous. What is this? Of course, no, no postmaids

0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:15.200
<v Speaker 1>are uber anything like that. You're telling me if we

0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:19.000
<v Speaker 1>call a local pizza parlor apparently and where five minutes away,

0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:21.200
<v Speaker 1>they're not gonna be dared. I don't know. She says

0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 1>that there isn't any what you're scared of? This is

0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.760
<v Speaker 1>embarrassing to okay, but you're assumed to be a little

0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:32.200
<v Speaker 1>scared of that too. Well. I think it's ridiculous to

0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:35.240
<v Speaker 1>think that there's a pizza won't deliver to us. I

0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:39.119
<v Speaker 1>don't know. She she lives like ten minutes beyond in

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:43.280
<v Speaker 1>the boonies beyond, just like bedbath and way beyond. That's

0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:46.440
<v Speaker 1>where she lives in the way beyond. No pizza delivery there.

0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:49.840
<v Speaker 1>But we really like the house. I'm excited for it

0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:52.320
<v Speaker 1>to be done. We have to still finish the basement.

0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:54.639
<v Speaker 1>We don't finish the basement that Jared doesn't have an

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.040
<v Speaker 1>area for an office or a man cave, and that

0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:00.040
<v Speaker 1>is a critical component to the places that we have

0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:03.520
<v Speaker 1>lived in since we've been It's a critical component to

0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:08.760
<v Speaker 1>my happiness. But that all sounds nice. And lovely. It's

0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:10.040
<v Speaker 1>just a bummer that no one's ever going to be

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:14.080
<v Speaker 1>able to come visit, you guys, because if food delivery

0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:15.280
<v Speaker 1>is not going to make it out there, I don't

0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:16.560
<v Speaker 1>know how the heck we're even going to find the

0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:21.119
<v Speaker 1>place on a map. It's legit seven minutes off. So

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:25.119
<v Speaker 1>it's really not that booney. It's just it happens to

0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:27.639
<v Speaker 1>be far from any restaurants. I'll keep you up to

0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:29.960
<v Speaker 1>date on this whole food delivery thing. There is no

0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:38.280
<v Speaker 1>way that there's nobody that delivers. It is such a

0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:40.560
<v Speaker 1>new construction home. Is it a model home? Or is

0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:42.920
<v Speaker 1>like did someone design I don't like, how did How's

0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:45.680
<v Speaker 1>it construction? But you guys didn't design it? How does that? Well?

0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:47.199
<v Speaker 1>You know they were building it and they were going

0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:50.080
<v Speaker 1>to just sell it. Were but then when we when

0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:52.560
<v Speaker 1>we saw it, they still had a couple of months

0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:55.239
<v Speaker 1>left of construction to do. So they were like, at

0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:57.560
<v Speaker 1>this time, you can choose what you are. Yeah, we

0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 1>can do little little things situation, And I think I

0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 1>think so, except for we made a crucial error with shutters.

0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:06.159
<v Speaker 1>If you guys really want to get in detailed, we

0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:07.960
<v Speaker 1>don't want to get into shutters no, I don't want

0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:09.760
<v Speaker 1>to hear about shutters. Shutters, the very East Coast thing.

0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:11.240
<v Speaker 1>We don't have shutters in our house, but tell me

0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:15.800
<v Speaker 1>about it. She wanted them powder blue. We were convinced

0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:17.800
<v Speaker 1>it look good. The builder was like, I don't think

0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:20.080
<v Speaker 1>this color is gonna look good. And we're like, listen, broke,

0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:25.719
<v Speaker 1>we put up the blue shutters, and we're like, you're right,

0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:28.760
<v Speaker 1>We're dumb. Take the shutters down, please, for the love

0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:31.119
<v Speaker 1>of God. She didn't even Jared didn't even see them

0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:34.879
<v Speaker 1>in real life. They looked like porta potties on the

0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:39.600
<v Speaker 1>sides of the bad Okay, just great curb appeal. Right,

0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:41.879
<v Speaker 1>there are the shutters still blue? Or are they? We're

0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:44.040
<v Speaker 1>going to paint them black, but we don't. They're not

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:47.679
<v Speaker 1>an emergency situation. Then go up whenever. Now, wow, Well,

0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry to hear about the shutters, but congratulations on

0:21:49.600 --> 0:21:53.680
<v Speaker 1>the house ash, Thanks guys. Man. I feel like I

0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:56.720
<v Speaker 1>don't have a husband anymore though. This him, him, right

0:21:56.760 --> 0:22:00.240
<v Speaker 1>here in this room is the first time he's been

0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:06.159
<v Speaker 1>in this house during daylight in after all we got here.

0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Can I ask you a question, Yeah, isn't isn't Jared's

0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:12.639
<v Speaker 1>um work to the bone, like his work ethic. Do

0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:15.639
<v Speaker 1>you find that like really attractive. Yeah, it's definitely attractive.

0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:19.200
<v Speaker 1>But I definitely miss him, except like, listen, I don't

0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:20.879
<v Speaker 1>get very much quality time. I can make fun of

0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:23.160
<v Speaker 1>him now, I no, no, I miss him. I said

0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:25.800
<v Speaker 1>that I know I missed. Oh you're very very missed,

0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:29.080
<v Speaker 1>but I have to tell you guys. So he comes

0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:31.359
<v Speaker 1>home and he's so tired that he can't talk, like

0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:33.159
<v Speaker 1>he just does not respond to me. So I'll be

0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 1>talking and I'll be like, I need to say Jared,

0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:38.960
<v Speaker 1>and he needs to say yes in order for me

0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:40.920
<v Speaker 1>to start talking, because like I need to know what

0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I have his attention. And the other day I was like,

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I knew he just wasn't listening too much. I was saying,

0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and I go, I think I just kind of missed

0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:54.000
<v Speaker 1>it when you listen to me, and then there's a

0:22:54.280 --> 0:23:01.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty second pause, dead serious, he goes, huh it was.

0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:04.320
<v Speaker 1>She started hysterically laughing, and I was like, what the

0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:07.160
<v Speaker 1>did I miss? And then she was told me the story,

0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:08.760
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, yeah, that's pretty accurate because when I

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:13.879
<v Speaker 1>get home, I mean after like I wake up at

0:23:14.000 --> 0:23:17.840
<v Speaker 1>like six or six thirty and then I don't get home.

0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean some nights I don't get home until like

0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:21.920
<v Speaker 1>ten or eleven. There was nights last week you didn't

0:23:21.920 --> 0:23:24.640
<v Speaker 1>get back to one. Yeah, well that was Friday, Saturday.

0:23:24.800 --> 0:23:27.560
<v Speaker 1>That was I hope that never happens again. Well, not

0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:29.600
<v Speaker 1>that that. I hope I don't have to get home

0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:31.680
<v Speaker 1>at one and then be up by like five thirty again,

0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:34.840
<v Speaker 1>because that was a that was a rough one. Um.

0:23:35.160 --> 0:23:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Any who, what were talking about? Okay? Um, well, actually

0:23:40.840 --> 0:23:42.800
<v Speaker 1>thanks for putting up with Jared. We appreciate it. Jared,

0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:45.680
<v Speaker 1>thanks for working the bone. You know, it's good. It's

0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:47.159
<v Speaker 1>a good quality of a leader that you're willing to

0:23:47.200 --> 0:23:49.119
<v Speaker 1>put that much time into your own business, because if

0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:50.520
<v Speaker 1>you're not want to do it, why would you expect

0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:52.720
<v Speaker 1>anyone else wanting to do it? Oh dude? Like even

0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:55.120
<v Speaker 1>like I'm away from it. I left there an hour

0:23:55.160 --> 0:23:57.320
<v Speaker 1>and a half ago, and I'm just constantly texting my

0:23:57.400 --> 0:24:00.200
<v Speaker 1>managers there and be because everything okay, is things going wow?

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:03.359
<v Speaker 1>Because it's just tough, you know, for opening a brand

0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:06.320
<v Speaker 1>new business, Like you know, I know everything, I know

0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:09.720
<v Speaker 1>how I wanted to operate. I like anything, I have

0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:12.639
<v Speaker 1>all the answers, and it's just like so it's like

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:14.840
<v Speaker 1>I need to be there. Plus we're just so busy

0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:16.760
<v Speaker 1>that like we need all hands on deck. Anyway, we

0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:19.280
<v Speaker 1>don't talk about this anymore. It's funny to think, to

0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:21.720
<v Speaker 1>think that your life has basically transformed into one big

0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:24.080
<v Speaker 1>meet and greet. Yeah, I didn't think about that before

0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:27.680
<v Speaker 1>starting this. Like, how many pictures do you think you've

0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:33.680
<v Speaker 1>taken since Audrey's has opened? I mean a lot, Yeah,

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean a lot of guess. Yeah, you're right, it did. Actually,

0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking about that the other day. It did

0:24:37.280 --> 0:24:39.400
<v Speaker 1>feel like a meet and greet, and I was like, wow,

0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I we used to do this for like two hours

0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:43.119
<v Speaker 1>and be exhausted afterwards, and now I'm doing it for

0:24:43.240 --> 0:24:46.200
<v Speaker 1>twelvery hours every day for the rest of my life,

0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:50.000
<v Speaker 1>while also sweeping the floors, yeah, and scrubbing the toilets.

0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I will say, I've seen online a bunch of fans

0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:55.399
<v Speaker 1>posting pictures that have visited Audreyes and I got a

0:24:55.440 --> 0:24:57.200
<v Speaker 1>picture with you, and you've always got the biggest smile

0:24:57.240 --> 0:24:59.119
<v Speaker 1>on your face, looks so excited, like I'm waiting for

0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 1>one where you're just like like so, but no, do

0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:07.280
<v Speaker 1>you give everyone Jerry? And that's something we love about you. Well, thanks, guys,

0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate it. Honestly, I'm very happy to take pictures

0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:12.560
<v Speaker 1>with anybody because if they come to Audrey's and spending

0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:16.080
<v Speaker 1>money like there, they're helping my business. You know, I'll

0:25:16.080 --> 0:25:18.400
<v Speaker 1>be so happy to take a picture of someone. But yeah,

0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:22.200
<v Speaker 1>it's good, it's good. Anyway, we should we take a break.

0:25:22.240 --> 0:25:25.400
<v Speaker 1>What are we doing, Dean, You're my brain is scrambled.

0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Take control here. I know. I keep trying to get

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:29.040
<v Speaker 1>us to go to break and then I like think

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 1>of something to ask or then we get on like

0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:32.200
<v Speaker 1>a cool little tangent. I'm like, we gotta stick with

0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:33.880
<v Speaker 1>us for a little bit longer. But we have gone

0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:36.239
<v Speaker 1>way past our typical segment time. So we're gonna take

0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:38.480
<v Speaker 1>one quick break and we're gonna jump back into it

0:25:38.560 --> 0:25:51.960
<v Speaker 1>with some hot topics. So stay tuned, all right, welcome back.

0:25:52.880 --> 0:25:55.160
<v Speaker 1>We got Jared's favorite segment coming up here. I don't

0:25:55.160 --> 0:25:58.000
<v Speaker 1>know why it's Jared's favorite segment, but he just his

0:25:58.160 --> 0:26:01.720
<v Speaker 1>mouth just salivates at the thought of hot topics topics

0:26:02.160 --> 0:26:05.120
<v Speaker 1>because it reminds me of hot pockets. Oh that's why

0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:07.840
<v Speaker 1>this It's like, uh, what's that you guys? Ever know that. Um,

0:26:08.880 --> 0:26:11.119
<v Speaker 1>there was that like lab test where every time you

0:26:11.240 --> 0:26:13.000
<v Speaker 1>ring a bell, you feed a mouse like a little

0:26:13.000 --> 0:26:15.040
<v Speaker 1>cookie or something like that. And then and then eventually

0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:16.680
<v Speaker 1>you ring the bell and you don't feed the mouse

0:26:16.720 --> 0:26:19.280
<v Speaker 1>to cookie, but then he starts like salivating for the cooks. Dog.

0:26:19.400 --> 0:26:21.240
<v Speaker 1>It was a dog, That's what it is. That's what

0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:23.840
<v Speaker 1>it's pep talk. So that's exactly what hot pockets have

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:27.280
<v Speaker 1>done to Jared Pavlov's dog. Every time you hear hot topics,

0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:31.159
<v Speaker 1>you think you're gonna get a delicious uh meat pocket

0:26:31.400 --> 0:26:34.359
<v Speaker 1>with cheese and sauce. But in reality, no, we're just

0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:37.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna be talking about Kim Kardashian and machine gun Kelly

0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:38.520
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. What are we What are we

0:26:38.520 --> 0:26:40.879
<v Speaker 1>talking about today? Jared? Well, I wanted so we have

0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:42.440
<v Speaker 1>a couple of hot topics. The first one I wanted

0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:46.880
<v Speaker 1>to talk about, which is the online dating beauty filter trap.

0:26:47.880 --> 0:26:51.160
<v Speaker 1>This is an article for NBC News. Dating coach Eric

0:26:51.440 --> 0:26:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Resnick recently had a client sent him photos she wanted

0:26:54.240 --> 0:26:56.679
<v Speaker 1>to use for her dating app profile. The pictures were

0:26:56.760 --> 0:26:59.920
<v Speaker 1>labeled face app one, face app two, and face app three,

0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:03.320
<v Speaker 1>revealing the client treated them with a photo editing app

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:05.520
<v Speaker 1>that lets you smooth out your wrinkles, fill in your

0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:09.560
<v Speaker 1>hand on hairline, or chisel your cheekbones. Full disclosure, I

0:27:09.680 --> 0:27:11.200
<v Speaker 1>have done this. That is not a part of the article.

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:13.399
<v Speaker 1>I have literally done this. When I save photos and

0:27:13.480 --> 0:27:17.000
<v Speaker 1>it says face app or face tune, I obviously changed

0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:20.959
<v Speaker 1>to like a photo one, normal photo one. What does

0:27:21.000 --> 0:27:24.720
<v Speaker 1>it change, dude? You never use like face tune? No,

0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 1>I've never used it, and i've he just has the

0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:31.800
<v Speaker 1>perfect face face tune. I can't. I can't use it

0:27:31.840 --> 0:27:33.800
<v Speaker 1>because of how critical I am of other people using it,

0:27:33.840 --> 0:27:37.280
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want to be a hypocrite. I've maybe

0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:39.280
<v Speaker 1>smoothed out some wrinkles once or twice in my life,

0:27:39.320 --> 0:27:43.360
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. Whiten the old teeth? Sure, anyway.

0:27:43.600 --> 0:27:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Beauty filters are a scourge of online dating, Resini said

0:27:49.400 --> 0:27:52.440
<v Speaker 1>they are also very popular. Everyone uses them, women, men,

0:27:52.640 --> 0:27:55.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty somethings who don't remember a world without Instagram, and

0:27:55.800 --> 0:27:58.280
<v Speaker 1>fifty year olds who prefer to hide signs of aging.

0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:00.800
<v Speaker 1>On a practical level, that reads the name makes sense.

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:04.160
<v Speaker 1>A visible filtered face or retouched body can turn potential

0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:07.399
<v Speaker 1>matches off. Looking different than your photo is not the

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:10.800
<v Speaker 1>best way to start an in person date. But it's

0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:13.000
<v Speaker 1>also hard to fall people for trying to conform to

0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:17.879
<v Speaker 1>today's pervasive social media driven beauty standards, especially on apps

0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:21.480
<v Speaker 1>that treat us like merchandise in an online catalog and

0:28:21.600 --> 0:28:25.919
<v Speaker 1>are increasingly visual culture. There are powerful impulses, both societal

0:28:26.040 --> 0:28:31.680
<v Speaker 1>and technology technological, but that push so these impulses push

0:28:31.760 --> 0:28:36.359
<v Speaker 1>people into digital self enhancement. Research is still unclear on

0:28:36.440 --> 0:28:39.320
<v Speaker 1>the impact of beauty filters on our mental health, but

0:28:39.440 --> 0:28:42.520
<v Speaker 1>it's undeniable that in a world where we are constantly

0:28:42.720 --> 0:28:47.040
<v Speaker 1>staring at ourselves, whether via selfies, FaceTime, or zoom, it's

0:28:47.080 --> 0:28:50.160
<v Speaker 1>easy to feel inadequate. When you turn off a filter

0:28:50.320 --> 0:28:52.680
<v Speaker 1>and look at yourself in the mirror and appear and

0:28:52.760 --> 0:28:55.720
<v Speaker 1>appear nothing like that enhanced image. There is a huge

0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:59.800
<v Speaker 1>dislocation between the real self and the imagined self. This

0:29:00.120 --> 0:29:02.960
<v Speaker 1>is like the matrix. As the gap between them widens,

0:29:03.000 --> 0:29:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the potential for anxiety and dissatisfaction and on happiness grows.

0:29:07.760 --> 0:29:11.280
<v Speaker 1>It's why people keep asking plastic surgeons to sculpt their

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:16.160
<v Speaker 1>faces to resemble filtered versions of themselves. Filters of the

0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:18.920
<v Speaker 1>power to influence how you think, how you think of

0:29:19.080 --> 0:29:21.960
<v Speaker 1>and present yourself, on their own, but the design of

0:29:22.040 --> 0:29:25.760
<v Speaker 1>many dating apps encourages us to make those idolized versions

0:29:25.840 --> 0:29:31.560
<v Speaker 1>of ourselves public. So Dean as a guy, as a dude,

0:29:31.680 --> 0:29:34.640
<v Speaker 1>as a male. Is it obvious when someone edits a

0:29:34.680 --> 0:29:37.440
<v Speaker 1>picture that is posted on social media? Can you tell

0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:39.560
<v Speaker 1>first and foremost? Yet I just want to I want

0:29:39.560 --> 0:29:41.520
<v Speaker 1>to take a second and congratulate you on reading that

0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:45.320
<v Speaker 1>that long paragraph because I was, as, you did a

0:29:45.360 --> 0:29:49.520
<v Speaker 1>great job, only a couple of stutters. Um, well, as

0:29:49.560 --> 0:29:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I kind of mentioned before you got into it. I

0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:53.960
<v Speaker 1>hate those apps. I hate I hate that that's like

0:29:54.040 --> 0:29:56.600
<v Speaker 1>a thing that people do. Um. I like, I see

0:29:56.640 --> 0:29:58.640
<v Speaker 1>the appeal of it, but I think it's pretty obvious

0:29:58.720 --> 0:30:01.440
<v Speaker 1>when you see someone like editing their photos. And I

0:30:01.520 --> 0:30:03.320
<v Speaker 1>remember even back, like when I was single, and you

0:30:03.320 --> 0:30:05.680
<v Speaker 1>would like creep on someone's Instagram and he'd be like, Wow,

0:30:05.760 --> 0:30:07.720
<v Speaker 1>this girl is really pretty. And then maybe you see

0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:09.440
<v Speaker 1>like a video that they posted and you're like, wait, well,

0:30:09.520 --> 0:30:11.880
<v Speaker 1>the video doesn't really line up with the photos that

0:30:11.960 --> 0:30:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I saw, because obviously videos are harder to edit. So

0:30:16.840 --> 0:30:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I just I hate the whole I hate the whole

0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:21.560
<v Speaker 1>idea of it. I hate the prospect of it. Kaalen

0:30:21.760 --> 0:30:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Um doesn't do it anymore, but I think she would

0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:25.320
<v Speaker 1>like edit it her photos a little bit at the

0:30:25.400 --> 0:30:27.400
<v Speaker 1>beginning of our relationship, like why are you doing that?

0:30:27.480 --> 0:30:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Like you're so beautiful as it is, you don't need

0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:31.479
<v Speaker 1>to do that. And then she would go as far

0:30:31.560 --> 0:30:34.480
<v Speaker 1>as like showing me other girls photos of like the

0:30:34.640 --> 0:30:36.560
<v Speaker 1>edits that they've made where they like stretched the legs

0:30:36.640 --> 0:30:39.240
<v Speaker 1>and make the legs look longer, and like how obvious

0:30:39.280 --> 0:30:41.160
<v Speaker 1>it looks like once you really start paying attention to it,

0:30:41.280 --> 0:30:43.120
<v Speaker 1>I just think it's um. I think it's really bad.

0:30:43.840 --> 0:30:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Make your legs look longer. Dude, girls go to some

0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:51.080
<v Speaker 1>crazy extreme lengths to like make themselves feel more like

0:30:51.240 --> 0:30:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the like they should. I don't know, Like it's so weird,

0:30:54.040 --> 0:30:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Like you are who you are. Why would you want

0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:58.520
<v Speaker 1>your legs to be stretched out a little bit longer?

0:30:58.720 --> 0:31:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Or why would you want to add a different Like

0:31:01.640 --> 0:31:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I guess like adding different hairstyle is fine, because like

0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:05.959
<v Speaker 1>that's just fun, you're just messing around, But like you're

0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:08.440
<v Speaker 1>making your legs longer, you're giving yourself abs. I will

0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 1>say I took a shirtless photo once and I thought

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:11.880
<v Speaker 1>about trying to figure out how to add aps to it.

0:31:12.160 --> 0:31:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't figure it out, so I just give up

0:31:13.880 --> 0:31:16.920
<v Speaker 1>on it. But um, the teeth whitening thing, I guess

0:31:16.960 --> 0:31:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I kind of get as well. It just it just

0:31:19.880 --> 0:31:23.760
<v Speaker 1>creates an unrealistic Yeah, not for like a teeth whitening ad,

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:25.880
<v Speaker 1>but just like in general pictures, like when I'm standing

0:31:26.000 --> 0:31:28.480
<v Speaker 1>to Ashley and her teeth are like, my teeth are fine,

0:31:28.600 --> 0:31:30.480
<v Speaker 1>but like her teeth are much whider, so it makes

0:31:30.560 --> 0:31:33.239
<v Speaker 1>my teeth look more yellow when I'm standing next to her,

0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:35.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, oh god, I gotta fix this up

0:31:35.000 --> 0:31:39.480
<v Speaker 1>a little bit because I looked disgusting. Um, yeah, it's weird, man.

0:31:39.680 --> 0:31:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's not a good thing. I don't think.

0:31:43.080 --> 0:31:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I think it's headed in the wrong direction, Like it

0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:49.440
<v Speaker 1>can't be good on our mental health. Uh you, I

0:31:49.520 --> 0:31:51.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I don't know where it goes, because if

0:31:51.560 --> 0:31:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I was the good thing about us is that I

0:31:54.120 --> 0:31:58.040
<v Speaker 1>think we started really getting introduced to this later in life.

0:31:58.640 --> 0:32:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Not later in life, but if we were, dude, if

0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:04.640
<v Speaker 1>we were like twelve or thirteen, when we first started

0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:07.280
<v Speaker 1>getting introduced to filters and apps and being able to

0:32:07.400 --> 0:32:09.720
<v Speaker 1>change the way our face looks. And you know, you

0:32:09.800 --> 0:32:11.640
<v Speaker 1>go to school and you get made fun of because

0:32:11.720 --> 0:32:14.120
<v Speaker 1>kids are mean and they make fun of like something

0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:16.600
<v Speaker 1>that you're insecure about, and so you want to change

0:32:16.640 --> 0:32:19.360
<v Speaker 1>yourself and you can't change it in person because that's

0:32:19.400 --> 0:32:21.360
<v Speaker 1>just who you are, so you just change it on

0:32:21.440 --> 0:32:25.600
<v Speaker 1>social media. It's crazy. You You you nailed on the

0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:27.280
<v Speaker 1>head too. I think what you were trying to say

0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:30.360
<v Speaker 1>is like we had the luxury of having our frontal

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:32.520
<v Speaker 1>lobes be fully developed when all this stuff came out,

0:32:32.600 --> 0:32:34.840
<v Speaker 1>so we like understand it might take a toll on

0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:36.800
<v Speaker 1>our psyche, but it's not going to really transform who

0:32:36.840 --> 0:32:39.680
<v Speaker 1>we are as people versus like a young teen is

0:32:39.760 --> 0:32:43.720
<v Speaker 1>going to yeah, let it. I don't know, like they're

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:45.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna be affected by it a lot more heavily than

0:32:45.400 --> 0:32:47.400
<v Speaker 1>we were. Um, it's kind of funny when I think

0:32:47.440 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 1>about it, It's like it reminds me of before these

0:32:50.360 --> 0:32:51.880
<v Speaker 1>apps and all those things, you would see a lot

0:32:51.920 --> 0:32:55.080
<v Speaker 1>of people that were like they would post photos of

0:32:55.120 --> 0:32:57.880
<v Speaker 1>themselves online for like a dating app or something from

0:32:57.960 --> 0:33:00.080
<v Speaker 1>like ten years ago, or you know, like they just

0:33:00.120 --> 0:33:02.920
<v Speaker 1>post photo younger photos of themselves. It's like a It's

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:05.120
<v Speaker 1>like a form of cat fishing, but not entirely because

0:33:05.160 --> 0:33:08.600
<v Speaker 1>you're not stating to be someone else facade. I don't

0:33:08.600 --> 0:33:09.880
<v Speaker 1>even know if that's the proper way to say it,

0:33:10.000 --> 0:33:14.600
<v Speaker 1>but um, it just it just in a way. It's

0:33:14.640 --> 0:33:16.800
<v Speaker 1>like lying, I guess, which is a bad thing. I

0:33:16.880 --> 0:33:18.240
<v Speaker 1>don't know, Like I don't want to be too critical

0:33:18.320 --> 0:33:19.640
<v Speaker 1>of it because I know a lot of people do

0:33:19.760 --> 0:33:21.160
<v Speaker 1>it and I don't. I don't want to like say,

0:33:21.240 --> 0:33:23.440
<v Speaker 1>don't do it. It's really horrible and if you do it,

0:33:23.480 --> 0:33:25.520
<v Speaker 1>you're a really bad person. I just I don't know.

0:33:25.600 --> 0:33:27.400
<v Speaker 1>I just I'm not a fan of it. I think

0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:29.760
<v Speaker 1>you just when you see pictures on on social media,

0:33:29.800 --> 0:33:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you just have to take it with a little bit

0:33:31.000 --> 0:33:33.720
<v Speaker 1>of a grain of salt, like our sunset even like

0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:38.200
<v Speaker 1>not even a person's picture, but sunset pictures or like, dude,

0:33:38.240 --> 0:33:40.560
<v Speaker 1>all right, I'm not gonna put this person on blast,

0:33:40.680 --> 0:33:43.040
<v Speaker 1>but Ashley is going to know exactly what I'm talking about.

0:33:43.080 --> 0:33:47.560
<v Speaker 1>There is a social media presence person, not bachelor or

0:33:47.560 --> 0:33:50.000
<v Speaker 1>anything like that. And they're not like a model or

0:33:50.560 --> 0:33:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I guess they're an influence er. I don't know, but

0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:58.120
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of their pictures are scenic or um

0:33:59.040 --> 0:34:04.080
<v Speaker 1>like you know, staged, but dude, they're all there's no

0:34:04.200 --> 0:34:05.680
<v Speaker 1>way actually, and I talked about all the time, this

0:34:05.800 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 1>one particular person. There's no way these photos are real.

0:34:08.400 --> 0:34:11.359
<v Speaker 1>There is no way these photos are real. Ashley's laughing

0:34:11.400 --> 0:34:13.480
<v Speaker 1>because she knows exactly what I'm talking about. So it's

0:34:13.520 --> 0:34:16.680
<v Speaker 1>not even with your face or your body, but just

0:34:16.840 --> 0:34:19.280
<v Speaker 1>like even when you see a picture of what looks

0:34:19.320 --> 0:34:22.160
<v Speaker 1>like a mystical land and they're like, oh, where we're

0:34:22.239 --> 0:34:25.040
<v Speaker 1>going this weekend and it's like, no, you're not. That's

0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:29.839
<v Speaker 1>not real. You're going to a much greyer version of that. Um, yeah,

0:34:29.880 --> 0:34:31.680
<v Speaker 1>they like bump the satuation so much on it or

0:34:31.719 --> 0:34:34.239
<v Speaker 1>something like that. Well, it's funny because Kaylin and I

0:34:34.280 --> 0:34:36.239
<v Speaker 1>talked about that a lot too, because obviously we're you know,

0:34:36.320 --> 0:34:38.480
<v Speaker 1>we enjoy photography, and so I follow a lot of

0:34:38.560 --> 0:34:40.800
<v Speaker 1>photography accounts and she'll like see me scrolling on Instagram

0:34:40.840 --> 0:34:42.359
<v Speaker 1>every once in a while and she'd be like, oh

0:34:42.440 --> 0:34:46.200
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, where is that place? And being friend Like,

0:34:46.239 --> 0:34:48.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty close friends with a lot of like big

0:34:48.480 --> 0:34:51.200
<v Speaker 1>photography influencers, right, And a lot of them are great,

0:34:51.280 --> 0:34:53.600
<v Speaker 1>And let me take that back. They're all great, but

0:34:53.680 --> 0:34:56.239
<v Speaker 1>a lot of them, like you said, they try to

0:34:56.320 --> 0:34:58.920
<v Speaker 1>posture and pretend that this like this photo that they

0:34:59.000 --> 0:35:02.080
<v Speaker 1>took is real life. In reality, it's like a compositive

0:35:02.440 --> 0:35:04.200
<v Speaker 1>image of like eight different things, and there's like a

0:35:04.239 --> 0:35:06.120
<v Speaker 1>bunch of stuff edited out over here, and a bunch

0:35:06.160 --> 0:35:08.800
<v Speaker 1>of like stuff happening over here that isn't real, like

0:35:08.920 --> 0:35:11.920
<v Speaker 1>birds added in the sky has been changing photoshop. It's

0:35:12.200 --> 0:35:14.800
<v Speaker 1>it's insane, Like I would say, like eight out of

0:35:14.840 --> 0:35:16.759
<v Speaker 1>ten photos you see on Instagram taken by like a

0:35:16.840 --> 0:35:20.400
<v Speaker 1>photographer of a landscape is going to be doctored pretty heavily,

0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and it just it. It's it's like an unrealistic expectation

0:35:23.320 --> 0:35:26.200
<v Speaker 1>for visiting those places or like what you're supposed to

0:35:26.200 --> 0:35:27.680
<v Speaker 1>be seeing when you walk out your front door. Like

0:35:28.640 --> 0:35:30.759
<v Speaker 1>you're right, I agree. It applies to more than just

0:35:30.920 --> 0:35:33.319
<v Speaker 1>like selfies and photos of yourself. It applies to all

0:35:33.360 --> 0:35:35.120
<v Speaker 1>of those photos. And I think that that's just like

0:35:35.160 --> 0:35:36.560
<v Speaker 1>the digital ags that we're living in, and I don't

0:35:36.560 --> 0:35:38.120
<v Speaker 1>really see it changing. I think it's gonna just kind

0:35:38.120 --> 0:35:40.759
<v Speaker 1>of continue to snowball down that path even further. Dude,

0:35:40.760 --> 0:35:43.520
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna get worse. We're gonna we're gonna be living

0:35:43.520 --> 0:35:46.080
<v Speaker 1>in VR and no time, it's gonna be Ready Player one,

0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:49.880
<v Speaker 1>it's your favorite book. How do you know that? Because

0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:51.600
<v Speaker 1>you told me that and you gave it to me

0:35:51.719 --> 0:35:53.440
<v Speaker 1>to read one time, and I think I still haven't.

0:35:53.440 --> 0:35:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't finish it because it's a fake ass book.

0:35:56.000 --> 0:35:59.399
<v Speaker 1>Have you started it? I started it, but I'll tell

0:35:59.400 --> 0:36:00.799
<v Speaker 1>you what you're lying to me right now, because if

0:36:00.800 --> 0:36:02.640
<v Speaker 1>you started it, Jared, you would never put it down

0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:05.879
<v Speaker 1>until it was finished. I already saw the movie. Yeah,

0:36:05.920 --> 0:36:08.120
<v Speaker 1>but the movie does not do it justice. I had

0:36:08.160 --> 0:36:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the the unfortunate luxury of reading the book and then

0:36:11.040 --> 0:36:13.160
<v Speaker 1>immediately seeing the movie right afterwards, Like I didn't have

0:36:13.160 --> 0:36:16.040
<v Speaker 1>any time between the two. And it's funny because Well

0:36:16.040 --> 0:36:18.040
<v Speaker 1>has read the book and really enjoyed it like years ago,

0:36:18.120 --> 0:36:19.400
<v Speaker 1>and then saw the movie and he's like, yeah, the

0:36:19.400 --> 0:36:21.359
<v Speaker 1>movie is really good. But the movie and the book

0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:25.320
<v Speaker 1>were so uh different that I hated the movie because

0:36:25.360 --> 0:36:28.359
<v Speaker 1>it didn't do the book any justice. So read the book.

0:36:28.360 --> 0:36:30.560
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna love it. I promise you. All Right, that's

0:36:30.560 --> 0:36:33.719
<v Speaker 1>our minute on Ready Player one. Uh, let's do the

0:36:33.840 --> 0:36:36.680
<v Speaker 1>next hot topic before we get into emails. Should we do?

0:36:36.840 --> 0:36:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to do relationship goals? Or do you

0:36:38.680 --> 0:36:41.600
<v Speaker 1>want to talk the uh? Do the article about the

0:36:41.640 --> 0:36:44.279
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend and this person taking a break every two months.

0:36:44.320 --> 0:36:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's do that one. That's pretty interesting. My boyfriend and

0:36:46.560 --> 0:36:48.719
<v Speaker 1>I have been together for over three years. Every two

0:36:48.840 --> 0:36:52.000
<v Speaker 1>months two months, that's a not a long time. We

0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:55.279
<v Speaker 1>take a break where we each focus on our individual

0:36:55.400 --> 0:36:57.720
<v Speaker 1>interests and needs. It took us a year to realize

0:36:58.080 --> 0:37:00.600
<v Speaker 1>that what we needed to make our relationship work was

0:37:00.800 --> 0:37:04.200
<v Speaker 1>a break. Did the two of you break up? My

0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:07.680
<v Speaker 1>friend Emily asked, We're at a barbecue event and Sam,

0:37:07.920 --> 0:37:09.960
<v Speaker 1>the life of the party, and my boyfriend of three

0:37:10.080 --> 0:37:14.479
<v Speaker 1>years is evidently missing. It's just a one week relationship break,

0:37:14.600 --> 0:37:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I responded, while sipping my mimosa, very detailed story. We're

0:37:19.080 --> 0:37:21.560
<v Speaker 1>still together, She said, Well, a lot of people don't

0:37:21.600 --> 0:37:24.759
<v Speaker 1>understand our relationship breaks from my boyfriend and I. They

0:37:24.840 --> 0:37:27.680
<v Speaker 1>are the only way we can fulfill our desires as

0:37:27.760 --> 0:37:31.920
<v Speaker 1>individuals with clashing personalities. Sam uses the brakes to catch

0:37:32.040 --> 0:37:34.440
<v Speaker 1>up with his friends and family, while I use them

0:37:34.560 --> 0:37:37.319
<v Speaker 1>for me time. Even though some people have frowned upon

0:37:37.440 --> 0:37:41.600
<v Speaker 1>this arrangement, seeing it as cumbersome makeup and break up routine,

0:37:41.719 --> 0:37:44.360
<v Speaker 1>we couldn't be happier because we come back to the

0:37:44.400 --> 0:37:48.080
<v Speaker 1>relationship with our needs fulfilled now Whenever either of us

0:37:48.239 --> 0:37:51.719
<v Speaker 1>notices the other needs some time off from the relationship,

0:37:51.880 --> 0:37:56.960
<v Speaker 1>we simply ask how long that's intense. So my question

0:37:57.160 --> 0:38:01.279
<v Speaker 1>is they definitely don't like see other people, right, It's

0:38:01.360 --> 0:38:02.960
<v Speaker 1>just like they just do, like they go to the

0:38:03.040 --> 0:38:05.160
<v Speaker 1>movies by themselves. I don't know. I don't think that's

0:38:05.200 --> 0:38:07.880
<v Speaker 1>definite at all. I think, uh, I think it's almost

0:38:07.920 --> 0:38:11.640
<v Speaker 1>implied that they do see other people, because like I'll

0:38:11.680 --> 0:38:13.279
<v Speaker 1>go on a trip for a week every couple of

0:38:13.360 --> 0:38:16.480
<v Speaker 1>months by myself. I don't consider that us taking a break,

0:38:17.719 --> 0:38:20.719
<v Speaker 1>you know. Maybe the maybe the break applies to like, oh,

0:38:20.800 --> 0:38:23.400
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna like cease all contact with each other, like

0:38:23.440 --> 0:38:25.239
<v Speaker 1>don't talk to me for a week or something like that.

0:38:25.719 --> 0:38:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I I take it as they're like hooking up, or

0:38:28.040 --> 0:38:29.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe not hooking up, but like going to bars and

0:38:29.600 --> 0:38:32.080
<v Speaker 1>like flirting with other people as you shouldn't do as

0:38:32.560 --> 0:38:35.279
<v Speaker 1>a take in person. So I don't know. I don't

0:38:35.360 --> 0:38:38.320
<v Speaker 1>love it, but I'm not here to knock it because

0:38:38.400 --> 0:38:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I've never tried it, and whatever works for them seems

0:38:41.239 --> 0:38:44.360
<v Speaker 1>to be working for them. So I will say distance

0:38:44.440 --> 0:38:46.919
<v Speaker 1>does make the heart grow fonder whenever I don't see

0:38:46.960 --> 0:38:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Ashley quite a little while it is really nice kind

0:38:50.120 --> 0:38:52.640
<v Speaker 1>of reinvigorates the relationship a little bit, where if we

0:38:52.640 --> 0:38:54.120
<v Speaker 1>don't see each other for a few days or a week,

0:38:54.440 --> 0:38:56.759
<v Speaker 1>seeing them gives, you know, some sort of dopamine that

0:38:56.840 --> 0:38:58.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't get when you know she's farting next to

0:38:58.800 --> 0:39:02.600
<v Speaker 1>me on the couch. But I don't know. That's tough,

0:39:02.600 --> 0:39:06.000
<v Speaker 1>because when you commit to someone, it's it's it's it's

0:39:06.040 --> 0:39:08.120
<v Speaker 1>exactly that it's a commitment. I think it would be

0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:12.560
<v Speaker 1>difficult for me, especially every two months. Holy crap. So

0:39:13.560 --> 0:39:16.719
<v Speaker 1>my question is how long are these breaks? Are they

0:39:16.800 --> 0:39:19.040
<v Speaker 1>a week? Are they a month? Are they just days?

0:39:19.600 --> 0:39:21.560
<v Speaker 1>And I know that one she said, it's just a

0:39:21.680 --> 0:39:24.319
<v Speaker 1>one week relationship break. But then she said at the end,

0:39:24.440 --> 0:39:27.000
<v Speaker 1>whenever they notice one of them needs time off, they go,

0:39:27.200 --> 0:39:30.320
<v Speaker 1>how long? One of the dude's like, aus, six months?

0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:34.759
<v Speaker 1>Catch me in ten years? Have you and Ashley were

0:39:34.800 --> 0:39:38.200
<v Speaker 1>taking a break? No, No, we haven't taken a break.

0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:43.279
<v Speaker 1>As you want to take a break, she said, no,

0:39:43.719 --> 0:39:46.759
<v Speaker 1>she turned it down. Oh man, at least you shot

0:39:46.800 --> 0:39:52.879
<v Speaker 1>your shot. I'm like, what's his face of hall pass? Uh? Now?

0:39:53.000 --> 0:39:55.200
<v Speaker 1>The other guy and he like wants a hall pass

0:39:55.280 --> 0:39:58.920
<v Speaker 1>so badly and he's just trying to get one. Ye.

0:40:00.160 --> 0:40:01.759
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever been in a relationship where you guys

0:40:01.760 --> 0:40:04.600
<v Speaker 1>have taken breaks, whether it's been like you guys deciding

0:40:04.600 --> 0:40:06.879
<v Speaker 1>together or like something happened you're like, Okay, we're gonna

0:40:06.880 --> 0:40:08.719
<v Speaker 1>take a break, and then you end up linking up

0:40:08.760 --> 0:40:11.240
<v Speaker 1>again at some point. Yeah, I've been in a relationship

0:40:11.320 --> 0:40:14.279
<v Speaker 1>where we've taken a break and it never ends. Well.

0:40:14.280 --> 0:40:16.239
<v Speaker 1>I feel like any of my friends who have been

0:40:16.280 --> 0:40:21.560
<v Speaker 1>in relationships that take breaks, they end up breaking up. Yeah, yeah,

0:40:21.640 --> 0:40:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I agree. I've been in relationships or I've been in

0:40:23.600 --> 0:40:26.440
<v Speaker 1>a relationship where, well, actually probably quite a few relationships

0:40:26.480 --> 0:40:30.200
<v Speaker 1>where if you break up and then uh, you know,

0:40:30.320 --> 0:40:32.640
<v Speaker 1>you spent some time apart, and then you kind of

0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:35.239
<v Speaker 1>start to miss the other person. So you text him,

0:40:35.239 --> 0:40:36.759
<v Speaker 1>you call him, you hang out, you go to a bar,

0:40:36.760 --> 0:40:41.680
<v Speaker 1>blah blah blah blah blah, YadA YadA YadA, um, YadA

0:40:41.760 --> 0:40:45.120
<v Speaker 1>YadA YadA. Did you just YadA YadA sex? Yeah? I

0:40:45.280 --> 0:40:47.759
<v Speaker 1>just did YadA YadA sex by the way, um, and

0:40:47.840 --> 0:40:49.480
<v Speaker 1>you get back together and then you're together for a

0:40:49.520 --> 0:40:51.520
<v Speaker 1>little bit and you're like why, you're why do we

0:40:51.600 --> 0:40:55.000
<v Speaker 1>do this? This doesn't really make any sense. So I

0:40:55.120 --> 0:40:57.480
<v Speaker 1>think if you have to take a break. And this

0:40:57.600 --> 0:40:59.960
<v Speaker 1>is just my personal experience. If you have to take

0:41:00.000 --> 0:41:02.960
<v Speaker 1>could break from your partner, it probably means that's not

0:41:03.040 --> 0:41:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the person you're supposed to be with for the rest

0:41:04.560 --> 0:41:07.239
<v Speaker 1>of your life. Because like, there are times where I

0:41:07.320 --> 0:41:12.040
<v Speaker 1>get like, uh, like worn down, I guess for lack

0:41:12.080 --> 0:41:13.440
<v Speaker 1>of a better word, where I just want to be

0:41:13.520 --> 0:41:16.920
<v Speaker 1>alone for a little bit. But I would never I've

0:41:17.040 --> 0:41:18.759
<v Speaker 1>never got to calin and be like, hey, Caitlin, let's

0:41:18.760 --> 0:41:20.160
<v Speaker 1>take like a break for a couple of weeks, Like

0:41:20.719 --> 0:41:22.560
<v Speaker 1>you're fine with that, right, I would never do that

0:41:22.680 --> 0:41:25.239
<v Speaker 1>because it break her heart and be I would um

0:41:25.440 --> 0:41:28.800
<v Speaker 1>start to question the relationship all together as well. But

0:41:29.040 --> 0:41:30.840
<v Speaker 1>like I said, it's not my place to say anything

0:41:31.280 --> 0:41:35.200
<v Speaker 1>on anyone else's relationships. So I hear you when it's time,

0:41:35.320 --> 0:41:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Like like Ashley and I were talking about it earlier

0:41:37.640 --> 0:41:39.440
<v Speaker 1>in the podcast, when I come home after a long

0:41:39.520 --> 0:41:41.839
<v Speaker 1>day and I just want to vege in, zone out

0:41:41.880 --> 0:41:44.000
<v Speaker 1>and just like be on my phone and not think

0:41:44.080 --> 0:41:46.040
<v Speaker 1>of anything for an hour, And she's like that, that's

0:41:46.080 --> 0:41:48.640
<v Speaker 1>what And I'm like, oh my god, I love you

0:41:48.680 --> 0:41:51.200
<v Speaker 1>so much, but please and then you know, so it's

0:41:51.239 --> 0:41:53.400
<v Speaker 1>like I don't need a break, but maybe in that moment,

0:41:53.520 --> 0:41:56.239
<v Speaker 1>I could, you know, use a bathroom break. I mean

0:41:56.320 --> 0:41:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the bathroom for like three hours, just sitting on the

0:41:58.160 --> 0:41:59.960
<v Speaker 1>top left by myself. It's my only a long time.

0:42:00.239 --> 0:42:04.560
<v Speaker 1>That's She's like, you do do that. I'm like, yeah, no,

0:42:04.680 --> 0:42:07.680
<v Speaker 1>tell me about it. I just it's my It's I'm

0:42:07.760 --> 0:42:10.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm so al Bundy now. Oh god, I've become a dad.

0:42:11.000 --> 0:42:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm a dad. Now I go to the bathroom for

0:42:13.000 --> 0:42:14.960
<v Speaker 1>two hours just to get some alone time. You say

0:42:15.000 --> 0:42:18.120
<v Speaker 1>you're so el Bundy. Yeah, married with children. Never seen

0:42:18.160 --> 0:42:21.240
<v Speaker 1>that show, never seen it, never seen it. It's okay.

0:42:21.520 --> 0:42:23.719
<v Speaker 1>It is funny that so many men are like that. Um.

0:42:24.320 --> 0:42:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I always thought it was just me, But then I

0:42:25.600 --> 0:42:28.560
<v Speaker 1>watch like some TikTok videos and they're like always talking

0:42:28.560 --> 0:42:30.279
<v Speaker 1>about how guys go to the bathroom for like thirty

0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:33.719
<v Speaker 1>minutes every single time. Yeah, it's just it's just you

0:42:33.840 --> 0:42:35.880
<v Speaker 1>just sitting there by yourself. It's quite disgusting when you

0:42:35.920 --> 0:42:38.640
<v Speaker 1>think about a scrolling down your phone, hanging out, not

0:42:38.760 --> 0:42:41.600
<v Speaker 1>having to talk to anyone. Yeah. Now I'm a big

0:42:41.719 --> 0:42:44.879
<v Speaker 1>TikTok guy on the toilet TikTok and toilet, the three

0:42:44.920 --> 0:42:49.879
<v Speaker 1>t s TikTok toilet um. That's one of the reasons

0:42:49.920 --> 0:42:51.839
<v Speaker 1>I think Caylin and my relationship works out so well,

0:42:51.840 --> 0:42:54.520
<v Speaker 1>as because she's pretty good at reading when I like

0:42:54.600 --> 0:42:56.200
<v Speaker 1>need some quiet time or something like that, and so

0:42:56.280 --> 0:42:59.200
<v Speaker 1>she always, uh, she doesn't like give me the space,

0:42:59.280 --> 0:43:02.120
<v Speaker 1>but she will just like sit there in silence with

0:43:02.200 --> 0:43:04.440
<v Speaker 1>me or whateveryone's like watch the TV show and it

0:43:04.480 --> 0:43:06.880
<v Speaker 1>works out pretty well. But I, like I said, if

0:43:06.920 --> 0:43:08.919
<v Speaker 1>it works for you, it works for you. Don't listen

0:43:09.000 --> 0:43:11.400
<v Speaker 1>to anything we have to say about anyone else's relationship

0:43:11.480 --> 0:43:13.799
<v Speaker 1>because we're idiots and we don't know anything about anyone

0:43:13.800 --> 0:43:17.480
<v Speaker 1>else's relationship. That's the smartest thing you've said all day.

0:43:17.719 --> 0:43:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. Yes, I'll carry that energy with me into

0:43:20.680 --> 0:43:22.799

0:43:22.880 --> 0:43:24.960

<v Speaker 1>wh whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa wha wha, wha wha

0:43:47.280 --> 0:43:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Come the Braggs kid out. Why would you do the

0:43:49.960 --> 0:43:53.320
<v Speaker 1>first one when We've got the illustrious Eastern Allen in

0:43:53.440 --> 0:43:56.600
<v Speaker 1>studio with us today. His camera's off there, he is there,

0:43:56.640 --> 0:43:59.080
<v Speaker 1>he is I don't know. Sometimes Easton just walks out

0:43:59.200 --> 0:44:00.960
<v Speaker 1>on us. He doesn't even say bye. He does the

0:44:01.000 --> 0:44:03.839
<v Speaker 1>Irish goodbye. Jared, you've been even working a lot, You've

0:44:03.880 --> 0:44:05.719
<v Speaker 1>been reading a lot. I just want to make sure

0:44:05.800 --> 0:44:10.200
<v Speaker 1>that you're getting uh as easy as you can. Here, Jared,

0:44:10.280 --> 0:44:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm a trained broadcaster, so let me just do

0:44:12.800 --> 0:44:16.000
<v Speaker 1>my job here. Here we go. This first one is

0:44:16.080 --> 0:44:20.520
<v Speaker 1>from Arden. Jared spoiled it. But anyway, I've been dating

0:44:20.560 --> 0:44:22.279
<v Speaker 1>this guy for a few months and things were going

0:44:22.360 --> 0:44:25.440
<v Speaker 1>really well until the topic of past sexual partners came up.

0:44:25.800 --> 0:44:28.080
<v Speaker 1>We're both in our early twenties and I dated around

0:44:28.120 --> 0:44:30.600
<v Speaker 1>before I met him. When I told him my body number,

0:44:30.760 --> 0:44:33.800
<v Speaker 1>he seemed disappointed. He said that it changes things and

0:44:33.920 --> 0:44:37.839
<v Speaker 1>he needs time to process everything. Since this conversation, he's

0:44:37.880 --> 0:44:40.279
<v Speaker 1>taken a step back and he refuses to talk about it,

0:44:40.360 --> 0:44:42.680
<v Speaker 1>even though it's clearly bothering him. What should I do?

0:44:43.160 --> 0:44:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I genuinely like this guy, but his reaction seems unfair.

0:44:46.120 --> 0:44:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't think my number is something I should be

0:44:47.719 --> 0:44:49.960
<v Speaker 1>ashamed of. Do mose guys care this much about their

0:44:50.000 --> 0:44:52.640
<v Speaker 1>partner's number. He's also slept with more people than me,

0:44:52.800 --> 0:44:56.799
<v Speaker 1>So why is the double standard? What stude sucks? I'm sorry, Yeah,

0:44:56.880 --> 0:45:00.600
<v Speaker 1>this guy blows um, he does low. But I will

0:45:00.640 --> 0:45:02.120
<v Speaker 1>say when I was younger, I used to have a

0:45:02.200 --> 0:45:05.560
<v Speaker 1>similar ideology to him. Uh it just I don't know,

0:45:05.719 --> 0:45:09.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe stings the ego a little bit, but his numbers

0:45:09.520 --> 0:45:15.319
<v Speaker 1>higher than hers. Yes, yes, you're absolutely right. Um, that's

0:45:15.320 --> 0:45:17.279
<v Speaker 1>why I like Listen now I feel differently. I agree

0:45:17.320 --> 0:45:18.960
<v Speaker 1>with both of you guys. This guy sounds like a loser.

0:45:19.239 --> 0:45:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Anyone that gets upset about that kind of stuff is

0:45:21.760 --> 0:45:23.560
<v Speaker 1>out of their minds. But I will say when I

0:45:23.640 --> 0:45:25.760
<v Speaker 1>was younger, like in my early twenties and late teens,

0:45:25.840 --> 0:45:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I would say I was probably in the same vein

0:45:27.680 --> 0:45:30.360
<v Speaker 1>of thinking those same things, much to my own Chagrin'm like,

0:45:30.360 --> 0:45:32.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that I thought those things, but I'm

0:45:32.719 --> 0:45:34.279
<v Speaker 1>just saying I felt those things at one point as well.

0:45:35.280 --> 0:45:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I can understand if this guy was a virgin and

0:45:39.520 --> 0:45:41.960
<v Speaker 1>it was very important to him, or maybe he only

0:45:42.000 --> 0:45:46.319
<v Speaker 1>slept one person and sex was extremely you know, uh,

0:45:46.880 --> 0:45:50.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, he really really chose very carefully who he

0:45:50.120 --> 0:45:54.080
<v Speaker 1>had sex with but if his number is higher than hers,

0:45:55.080 --> 0:45:57.839
<v Speaker 1>what is this? This is a double standard? Bro chill out,

0:45:58.200 --> 0:46:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Like she had a life before you, you had a

0:46:00.640 --> 0:46:04.920
<v Speaker 1>life for her. Let's move on. Yeah, I don't know

0:46:05.000 --> 0:46:09.640
<v Speaker 1>what it is about guys. Um, well what is There's

0:46:09.680 --> 0:46:12.279
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of of those, like not puns, but

0:46:12.440 --> 0:46:15.239
<v Speaker 1>like idioms about men and women when it comes to sex.

0:46:15.360 --> 0:46:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Like whenever a guy tells you his number, you always

0:46:17.040 --> 0:46:18.600
<v Speaker 1>have to divide it by two. Whenever a girl tells

0:46:18.640 --> 0:46:21.879
<v Speaker 1>you a number, you always have to multiplied by two

0:46:22.040 --> 0:46:23.480
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. I don't remember what it is.

0:46:23.640 --> 0:46:25.880
<v Speaker 1>There's always a stigma by mind by five, you know,

0:46:26.000 --> 0:46:30.080
<v Speaker 1>sometimes always that guys should be having more sex than girls.

0:46:30.120 --> 0:46:31.640
<v Speaker 1>And if a girl has more sex than a guy,

0:46:31.760 --> 0:46:33.279
<v Speaker 1>then she's a slut. But if a guy has a

0:46:33.320 --> 0:46:35.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of sex, then he's not, like he's just living

0:46:35.600 --> 0:46:37.879
<v Speaker 1>his life as a guy. I like I said, it's

0:46:37.880 --> 0:46:41.239
<v Speaker 1>all ridiculous, um, And I think that a lot of

0:46:41.360 --> 0:46:43.759
<v Speaker 1>like younger people carry those idioms with them on a

0:46:43.800 --> 0:46:45.840
<v Speaker 1>regular basis. But like, yeah, as you get older, you

0:46:46.000 --> 0:46:49.040
<v Speaker 1>start to realize that that's definitely not um how it's

0:46:49.080 --> 0:46:52.840
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be. Like, I don't know when I was

0:46:52.920 --> 0:46:55.120
<v Speaker 1>a young man, I was dating this girl and I

0:46:55.239 --> 0:46:57.480
<v Speaker 1>found out not from her but from someone else that

0:46:57.560 --> 0:47:00.239
<v Speaker 1>she had had a threesome with two guys before him.

0:47:00.760 --> 0:47:03.120
<v Speaker 1>And that didn't it didn't like gross me out or anything.

0:47:03.239 --> 0:47:05.640
<v Speaker 1>If anything, I just felt I felt intimidated because I

0:47:05.800 --> 0:47:08.480
<v Speaker 1>was like, she's so much more sexually advanced than me,

0:47:08.640 --> 0:47:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Like I can get I barely got one person to

0:47:10.920 --> 0:47:13.320
<v Speaker 1>agree to have sex with me, So I was intimidated

0:47:13.320 --> 0:47:15.480
<v Speaker 1>by that. Um, and I felt really weird about it.

0:47:15.520 --> 0:47:17.799
<v Speaker 1>But then I watched this movie called Chasing Amy, where

0:47:17.840 --> 0:47:20.880
<v Speaker 1>like Van Afflett goes through the same thing, and uh,

0:47:21.360 --> 0:47:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I may have made me realize, like I like this

0:47:24.560 --> 0:47:26.800
<v Speaker 1>person for who they are right now, and like whatever

0:47:27.040 --> 0:47:29.560
<v Speaker 1>happened before just made them the person they are that

0:47:29.680 --> 0:47:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I like. And if anything, it just tells me that

0:47:32.560 --> 0:47:35.480
<v Speaker 1>this person likes sex and that's exciting to me. Uh.

0:47:35.640 --> 0:47:37.160
<v Speaker 1>And I got over it and it didn't bother me

0:47:37.200 --> 0:47:39.320
<v Speaker 1>after I like, after I watched that movie and have

0:47:39.400 --> 0:47:41.640
<v Speaker 1>that realization. Uh. And then she cheated on me. So

0:47:41.960 --> 0:47:44.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, things, you know, things go the way they go.

0:47:45.160 --> 0:47:49.400
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, right with four guys this time? Uh No,

0:47:49.560 --> 0:47:52.000
<v Speaker 1>but um, I don't know, it just it. I always

0:47:52.000 --> 0:47:54.520
<v Speaker 1>think that was like so nuts, and like there's some

0:47:54.640 --> 0:47:56.759
<v Speaker 1>guys who are like they'll get all bent out of

0:47:56.840 --> 0:47:59.720
<v Speaker 1>shape if like, oh, she's been with more than one person,

0:47:59.800 --> 0:48:01.920
<v Speaker 1>but for it's like, dude, who do you think you are?

0:48:02.080 --> 0:48:04.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, I don't know. I just I hate when

0:48:04.400 --> 0:48:05.920
<v Speaker 1>guys get like hung up on that kind of thing.

0:48:06.000 --> 0:48:10.839
<v Speaker 1>It's so stupid. I agree, especially when, uh, when all

0:48:10.920 --> 0:48:12.840
<v Speaker 1>that happened before you had even met each other or

0:48:12.920 --> 0:48:15.120
<v Speaker 1>like started dating each other. Like that even compounds how

0:48:15.200 --> 0:48:18.000
<v Speaker 1>ridiculous it is too, because it's like the numbers should

0:48:18.040 --> 0:48:21.080
<v Speaker 1>never matter before the number like like I don't care

0:48:21.120 --> 0:48:23.200
<v Speaker 1>how many people Kalin slept with before we got together.

0:48:23.200 --> 0:48:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I only care how many people she slept with after

0:48:25.040 --> 0:48:26.680
<v Speaker 1>we've gotten together, you know what I mean, Like that's

0:48:26.680 --> 0:48:30.080
<v Speaker 1>the only number that really matters to me. That's right.

0:48:30.320 --> 0:48:32.520
<v Speaker 1>As long as that number stays one, that's all I

0:48:32.600 --> 0:48:34.839
<v Speaker 1>really care about. And I think that's like the That's

0:48:34.920 --> 0:48:36.640
<v Speaker 1>what I learned later in life too, is that's just

0:48:36.760 --> 0:48:39.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of something that you need to be comfortable with regardless.

0:48:40.000 --> 0:48:43.080
<v Speaker 1>And I can guarantee you my number is more than Kalen's. Um,

0:48:43.200 --> 0:48:46.279
<v Speaker 1>I can guarantee you that maybe it doesn't. It's not

0:48:46.360 --> 0:48:47.719
<v Speaker 1>the best thing in the world. But she's not going

0:48:47.800 --> 0:48:50.160
<v Speaker 1>to be like totally piste off about it. That's great.

0:48:50.800 --> 0:48:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Um yeah, no judgment zone here. But I will say

0:48:53.360 --> 0:48:57.239
<v Speaker 1>if arden's number when talking to her boyfriend she's like,

0:48:57.360 --> 0:49:03.479
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, I've slept with about seven, then you're like, okay,

0:49:03.520 --> 0:49:06.439
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute, wait a minute, let's pump the brakes.

0:49:06.520 --> 0:49:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's figure this out a little bit. If you're doing numbers,

0:49:09.520 --> 0:49:15.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, numbers, but if your numbers higher than hers.

0:49:15.600 --> 0:49:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I remember so when I before, I you know, uh

0:49:21.120 --> 0:49:24.799
<v Speaker 1>did the deed, you know, my first girlfriend, the first

0:49:24.840 --> 0:49:28.880
<v Speaker 1>time anything for me. I remember, I was extremely jealous

0:49:28.960 --> 0:49:31.320
<v Speaker 1>because she had slept with one other person and I

0:49:31.520 --> 0:49:34.600
<v Speaker 1>was so jealous of that guy because it was different though,

0:49:34.680 --> 0:49:37.640
<v Speaker 1>because like now she's my girlfriend and like I hadn't,

0:49:37.680 --> 0:49:40.160
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. There's like I get that.

0:49:41.040 --> 0:49:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I get it because I'm I was a victim

0:49:43.840 --> 0:49:45.000
<v Speaker 1>of it, not e victim, but you know what I mean.

0:49:45.200 --> 0:49:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Any who, but this is ridiculous. I'm calling it out

0:49:48.640 --> 0:49:52.120
<v Speaker 1>right now, ridiculous. That's it. That's my final thought. Okay,

0:49:52.239 --> 0:49:55.239
<v Speaker 1>let's get into the next email here. This is from anonymous.

0:49:55.600 --> 0:49:57.840
<v Speaker 1>I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for almost

0:49:57.880 --> 0:50:00.359
<v Speaker 1>two years, and for contexts, he's ten years older than

0:50:00.400 --> 0:50:02.880
<v Speaker 1>me and has a lot more experience with dating and intimacy.

0:50:03.640 --> 0:50:05.960
<v Speaker 1>It's never it never really used to bother me because

0:50:06.000 --> 0:50:08.240
<v Speaker 1>it never really came up until recently when he mentioned

0:50:08.280 --> 0:50:09.920
<v Speaker 1>he would like it when we were apart, when I

0:50:09.960 --> 0:50:12.320
<v Speaker 1>would send him pictures, or it was just more sexual

0:50:12.360 --> 0:50:14.919
<v Speaker 1>and conversations. I don't know why, but I always felt

0:50:15.040 --> 0:50:16.719
<v Speaker 1>feel like I look so awkward when I try to

0:50:16.760 --> 0:50:18.680
<v Speaker 1>take pictures and when I try to talk in any

0:50:18.719 --> 0:50:21.160
<v Speaker 1>sort of way, I literally cannot finish the sentence of

0:50:21.360 --> 0:50:23.600
<v Speaker 1>laughing at how ridiculous it all sounds. I assume she

0:50:23.640 --> 0:50:26.399
<v Speaker 1>means sexually talking. Uh. Then fast forward to this week.

0:50:26.440 --> 0:50:28.240
<v Speaker 1>He's telling me about all these things his friend receives

0:50:28.239 --> 0:50:30.440
<v Speaker 1>from other girls and how wild it all is. I

0:50:30.520 --> 0:50:32.400
<v Speaker 1>don't think he's mean to pressure me about it, but

0:50:32.440 --> 0:50:34.680
<v Speaker 1>now I just feel really insecure. Am I the only

0:50:34.719 --> 0:50:37.200
<v Speaker 1>one not doing these things? Is he going to end

0:50:37.280 --> 0:50:39.319
<v Speaker 1>up finding someone else who will? How do you guys

0:50:39.400 --> 0:50:41.400
<v Speaker 1>feel about it? Would you be fine if your partner

0:50:41.520 --> 0:50:44.120
<v Speaker 1>was uncomfortable with it and didn't do this, or do

0:50:44.239 --> 0:50:45.800
<v Speaker 1>you feel like they should work on it because it

0:50:45.840 --> 0:50:48.680
<v Speaker 1>would make you happier. So, just to be clear, we're

0:50:48.719 --> 0:50:52.640
<v Speaker 1>talking about like sexting, right I think so okay, that's

0:50:52.680 --> 0:50:57.399
<v Speaker 1>kind of what I gathered. Yeah, Um, what do you well?

0:50:57.440 --> 0:51:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll start. I I personally am a tie sext I'm

0:51:01.600 --> 0:51:03.839
<v Speaker 1>not about it. I don't like it. I've never done

0:51:03.840 --> 0:51:06.239
<v Speaker 1>it in my life. I've never sent picks, I've never

0:51:06.320 --> 0:51:08.560
<v Speaker 1>asked for picks. I've never asked for anyone to talk

0:51:08.640 --> 0:51:11.640
<v Speaker 1>dirty to me. It just doesn't suit my fancy. Um.

0:51:11.920 --> 0:51:15.319
<v Speaker 1>Fortunately for for me, Calm is in the same boat,

0:51:15.360 --> 0:51:17.839
<v Speaker 1>so there's never any weird disconnect between us when we're,

0:51:18.120 --> 0:51:19.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, spending a lot of time away, and no

0:51:19.480 --> 0:51:21.000
<v Speaker 1>one's ever going to ask the other person to talk

0:51:21.040 --> 0:51:23.279
<v Speaker 1>dirty to them, which is a very nice thing for

0:51:23.360 --> 0:51:28.200
<v Speaker 1>our relationship. Um, do you guys have any experience with

0:51:28.320 --> 0:51:33.839
<v Speaker 1>talking dirty to your significant others? I think that it's

0:51:33.880 --> 0:51:37.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna sound weird. It's kind of cute that he's acting

0:51:37.280 --> 0:51:40.040
<v Speaker 1>he's asking for these pictures. I mean, they've been in

0:51:40.080 --> 0:51:43.560
<v Speaker 1>a relationship for almost two years now, and I feel

0:51:43.560 --> 0:51:48.560
<v Speaker 1>like intimacy. See my wife wants me to ask for pictures. Uh,

0:51:49.680 --> 0:51:52.440
<v Speaker 1>But I think it's kind of cute that he's asking

0:51:52.760 --> 0:51:56.040
<v Speaker 1>for all these sexting pictures and more flirting, because usually

0:51:56.120 --> 0:51:59.239
<v Speaker 1>you know that the intimacy dies down as the relationship

0:51:59.320 --> 0:52:02.320
<v Speaker 1>goes on. It's not like I'm speaking from personal experience

0:52:02.440 --> 0:52:07.879
<v Speaker 1>or anything. But I digress. Um, I'm just kidding. Uh,

0:52:09.600 --> 0:52:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm kidding. I love my wife. She's sexy, she's beautiful.

0:52:14.239 --> 0:52:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Speaking from personal experience, that's not true. My love my wife. No, no, no, no, no, no,

0:52:20.320 --> 0:52:22.600
<v Speaker 1>no no no. I think it's kind of cute that

0:52:22.640 --> 0:52:25.120
<v Speaker 1>actually he wants to do this. It means he thinks

0:52:29.480 --> 0:52:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll keep that in mind in June. Um. But uh I,

0:52:34.719 --> 0:52:36.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I kind of I would like if

0:52:36.840 --> 0:52:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Anonymous tried to work on it a little bit, um,

0:52:39.920 --> 0:52:42.520
<v Speaker 1>because you know, intimacy is a part of a relationship,

0:52:42.600 --> 0:52:45.040
<v Speaker 1>and I don't see anything wrong with sexting. Like a

0:52:45.080 --> 0:52:47.600
<v Speaker 1>buddy of mine, actually he was talking about it, this

0:52:47.760 --> 0:52:52.160
<v Speaker 1>is like last year, about how him and his fiance

0:52:52.360 --> 0:52:56.120
<v Speaker 1>now keep like the spice alive because they'll send, you know,

0:52:56.320 --> 0:52:58.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of raunchy pictures every once in a while to

0:52:58.120 --> 0:53:00.439
<v Speaker 1>each other and they've been dating for like four of years.

0:53:00.560 --> 0:53:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you who it is afterwards. Um. But I

0:53:03.440 --> 0:53:12.239
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I kind of find that cute. Uh yeah, um,

0:53:12.880 --> 0:53:16.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't want anonymous to feel pressure to do something

0:53:16.840 --> 0:53:18.840
<v Speaker 1>she doesn't want to do. Again, I'm assuming it's a

0:53:19.000 --> 0:53:22.319
<v Speaker 1>woman here. But the other thing is that I think

0:53:22.440 --> 0:53:26.560
<v Speaker 1>that he's being open about what he wants, um so

0:53:26.920 --> 0:53:30.600
<v Speaker 1>in intimacy and and sexually, and uh, I think that's cool.

0:53:30.960 --> 0:53:33.600
<v Speaker 1>And I think that like, if you're not into that

0:53:33.719 --> 0:53:35.239
<v Speaker 1>kind of thing, it does feel very awkward and it

0:53:35.280 --> 0:53:39.120
<v Speaker 1>feels uncomfortable. But I think that with some more communication

0:53:39.520 --> 0:53:43.040
<v Speaker 1>they can find like a middle ground. Like if he

0:53:43.080 --> 0:53:45.000
<v Speaker 1>says like, oh, I really like it when you when

0:53:45.040 --> 0:53:47.960
<v Speaker 1>you send me pictures like this, I really like it

0:53:48.080 --> 0:53:50.239
<v Speaker 1>because you look so hot about you know, something to

0:53:50.880 --> 0:53:53.960
<v Speaker 1>give you a complimentary build up her confidence. And then

0:53:54.080 --> 0:53:55.600
<v Speaker 1>it's like, you know, you don't need to be writing

0:53:55.680 --> 0:53:58.120
<v Speaker 1>like full on erotica and to send back, but like,

0:53:59.000 --> 0:54:01.319
<v Speaker 1>find some kind of at all ground for you guys,

0:54:01.440 --> 0:54:05.080
<v Speaker 1>because I really think it could strengthen your your intimacy.

0:54:05.719 --> 0:54:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Um and uh, I don't know. Normally I wouldn't when

0:54:08.920 --> 0:54:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I hear like, oh, the guys are asking for pictures,

0:54:10.800 --> 0:54:12.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh, man, what has come back? But like

0:54:12.239 --> 0:54:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I I agree with Jared here, I think this guy's just, um,

0:54:14.520 --> 0:54:17.680
<v Speaker 1>he's just really into his partner and uh, and this

0:54:17.920 --> 0:54:21.239
<v Speaker 1>is what he's into and I appreciate that, honestly, and

0:54:21.320 --> 0:54:23.360
<v Speaker 1>so I think an honest just try to work on

0:54:23.440 --> 0:54:25.279
<v Speaker 1>that and just talk to him about it more. But

0:54:25.360 --> 0:54:29.000
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing with this relationship now, is because if

0:54:29.800 --> 0:54:33.440
<v Speaker 1>he's asking for pictures, let's say, and she feels uncomfortable

0:54:33.640 --> 0:54:36.279
<v Speaker 1>sending the pictures, then she's gonna be uncomfortable. If he

0:54:37.120 --> 0:54:39.200
<v Speaker 1>asks for pictures and she says, no, I'm not gonna

0:54:39.200 --> 0:54:41.800
<v Speaker 1>send you pictures, then he's going to be disappointed in

0:54:41.880 --> 0:54:44.160
<v Speaker 1>her not sending in pictures. So well, I do think

0:54:44.200 --> 0:54:46.719
<v Speaker 1>there might be a middle ground. I am I'm um

0:54:47.239 --> 0:54:49.320
<v Speaker 1>tempted to say that this is a deal breaker because

0:54:49.480 --> 0:54:52.839
<v Speaker 1>one person is gonna always be let down because one

0:54:52.880 --> 0:54:54.680
<v Speaker 1>person that is either doing something they don't want to

0:54:54.680 --> 0:54:56.360
<v Speaker 1>do or the other person is not receiving something that

0:54:56.400 --> 0:54:58.640
<v Speaker 1>they want to receive. And I could see that being

0:54:58.640 --> 0:55:01.080
<v Speaker 1>a deal breaker. I just think it's it's a big

0:55:01.800 --> 0:55:04.759
<v Speaker 1>component to a relationship, like when you're not around each other,

0:55:04.840 --> 0:55:06.640
<v Speaker 1>can you still make it feel like you're around each other?

0:55:06.880 --> 0:55:09.320
<v Speaker 1>And if one person is requiring some uh, you know,

0:55:09.440 --> 0:55:11.239
<v Speaker 1>some naughty stuff and the other person doesn't want to

0:55:11.239 --> 0:55:13.920
<v Speaker 1>give it. Then I don't know. I just uh, it

0:55:14.000 --> 0:55:16.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't sound like it's gonna end up super well for me.

0:55:16.160 --> 0:55:20.120
<v Speaker 1>But that's just my opinion. I think, um, some people

0:55:20.160 --> 0:55:22.600
<v Speaker 1>can make it work, but it sounds like one person

0:55:22.680 --> 0:55:25.080
<v Speaker 1>will always be doing something or receiving something that they

0:55:25.480 --> 0:55:28.040
<v Speaker 1>don't necessarily want to be doing and receiving. Yeah, I

0:55:28.160 --> 0:55:32.240
<v Speaker 1>wonder if, um, this one's tough, because again I agree

0:55:32.280 --> 0:55:34.840
<v Speaker 1>with both of you, don't be pressured into something you

0:55:34.920 --> 0:55:39.759
<v Speaker 1>don't want to do or don't feel comfortable doing. I wonder, anonymous,

0:55:39.920 --> 0:55:44.040
<v Speaker 1>if you know what the good thing about pictures are, well,

0:55:44.120 --> 0:55:47.279
<v Speaker 1>not the good thing. I shouldn't say this, but you

0:55:47.360 --> 0:55:50.120
<v Speaker 1>know you don't have to send them, so I wonder

0:55:50.360 --> 0:55:54.799
<v Speaker 1>if maybe it's gonna sound ridiculous, but like you could

0:55:55.280 --> 0:55:57.920
<v Speaker 1>practice by yourself see if there's like anything you like

0:55:58.080 --> 0:56:00.440
<v Speaker 1>about it. I know that sounds ridiculous, but if if

0:56:00.520 --> 0:56:02.800
<v Speaker 1>you're in a relationship with a boyfriend who likes to

0:56:02.840 --> 0:56:05.160
<v Speaker 1>send flirty text and you guys maybe aren't around each

0:56:05.160 --> 0:56:06.680
<v Speaker 1>other all the time, so it's like you gotta keep

0:56:06.680 --> 0:56:10.440
<v Speaker 1>the interpec up in different ways. I don't know, you know, like,

0:56:10.640 --> 0:56:13.400
<v Speaker 1>for example, when Ashley is taking pictures, I have to

0:56:13.400 --> 0:56:15.919
<v Speaker 1>take a picture of Ashley. I have like forty seven

0:56:16.040 --> 0:56:18.200
<v Speaker 1>thousand in my camera because she wants me to take

0:56:18.840 --> 0:56:21.640
<v Speaker 1>so many of different angles, and oh, try this and

0:56:21.760 --> 0:56:25.120
<v Speaker 1>do that. So maybe just once you know, by yourself,

0:56:26.400 --> 0:56:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, see what happens. Is that bad advice?

0:56:29.360 --> 0:56:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmmm not the silent speaks. Don't do that, Anonymous.

0:56:33.840 --> 0:56:36.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm an idiot. No, no, I I like that idea.

0:56:36.880 --> 0:56:38.520
<v Speaker 1>That the thing now that I'm thinking about, And if

0:56:38.560 --> 0:56:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Anonymous hadn't considered this, I feel bad for implanting this seed.

0:56:41.480 --> 0:56:43.879
<v Speaker 1>But a lot of people are uncomfortable sending pictures because

0:56:43.960 --> 0:56:46.600
<v Speaker 1>like you know that now they're out in the ether,

0:56:46.600 --> 0:56:50.160
<v Speaker 1>they're on a server somewhere like maybe Anonymous works for

0:56:50.239 --> 0:56:52.440
<v Speaker 1>the CIA or something. They don't want this picture is

0:56:52.440 --> 0:56:56.360
<v Speaker 1>getting out. I understand that. Um. I think she mostly

0:56:56.360 --> 0:56:58.279
<v Speaker 1>said like, oh I I don't like the pictures I

0:56:58.360 --> 0:57:00.160
<v Speaker 1>take or I feel weird doing it. But like there's

0:57:00.160 --> 0:57:02.680
<v Speaker 1>also a component of like you know, what if he's

0:57:02.719 --> 0:57:04.319
<v Speaker 1>like in line at the bank and then he opens

0:57:04.360 --> 0:57:06.400
<v Speaker 1>up his phone and there's just like you know, Anonymous

0:57:06.400 --> 0:57:08.360
<v Speaker 1>just spread eagle on his on his desktop there, so

0:57:08.719 --> 0:57:11.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, I get it. Uh, I don't know, it's

0:57:11.880 --> 0:57:14.719
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's tough. But but to address her other fear,

0:57:14.760 --> 0:57:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's I don't think he's gonna go

0:57:17.160 --> 0:57:19.960
<v Speaker 1>like start texting someone else. I don't think that's gonna happen.

0:57:20.720 --> 0:57:23.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, I wouldn't worry about that. All I know

0:57:23.640 --> 0:57:25.960
<v Speaker 1>is if Kaylin ever asked me to send naughty pictures

0:57:26.120 --> 0:57:29.320
<v Speaker 1>or talk dirty two or over text while I was away, um,

0:57:30.080 --> 0:57:33.479
<v Speaker 1>the relationship probably would have hit a snag really early

0:57:33.560 --> 0:57:35.120
<v Speaker 1>on because I would have put my foot I would

0:57:35.120 --> 0:57:36.360
<v Speaker 1>have put my foot down. I always said, I'm not

0:57:36.400 --> 0:57:38.360
<v Speaker 1>doing this. I don't feel comfortable doing it. I'm not

0:57:38.400 --> 0:57:39.840
<v Speaker 1>going to do something that I don't want to do.

0:57:40.720 --> 0:57:43.120
<v Speaker 1>And don't get me wrong, it's cool and fun to

0:57:43.520 --> 0:57:46.840
<v Speaker 1>venture outside of your comfort zone. Um, but there it's

0:57:46.840 --> 0:57:48.600
<v Speaker 1>a hundred percent of deal breaker for me. So maybe

0:57:48.640 --> 0:57:50.600
<v Speaker 1>that's why I feel so strongly about it, because I

0:57:50.800 --> 0:57:53.880
<v Speaker 1>personally would not put up with it, um, and I

0:57:54.000 --> 0:57:56.120
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't expect anyone else to want to put up with

0:57:56.160 --> 0:57:58.160
<v Speaker 1>it too. I don't know, I don't know. That's just

0:57:58.320 --> 0:58:01.960
<v Speaker 1>that's my take. Maybe it's a little extreme. That's just

0:58:02.040 --> 0:58:05.080
<v Speaker 1>how I feel. I don't like it, and I never

0:58:05.240 --> 0:58:07.680
<v Speaker 1>will like it as far as I'm concerned, And I

0:58:07.760 --> 0:58:10.320
<v Speaker 1>hope I never like it because it's just not something

0:58:10.920 --> 0:58:13.760
<v Speaker 1>that has any appeal to me. But I want you

0:58:13.800 --> 0:58:16.160

0:58:59.160 --> 0:59:01.280
<v Speaker 1>third today, you know, they spice things up a little bit.

0:59:02.640 --> 0:59:04.200

0:59:06.680 --> 0:59:09.160
<v Speaker 1>would be my my hand shaking like, oh god, I'm

0:59:09.160 --> 0:59:12.160
<v Speaker 1>already hitting the mic, coffee just spilling down my shirt.

0:59:12.200 --> 0:59:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm okay, guys, this way, I'm okay. This is my decision,

0:59:14.680 --> 0:59:16.600
<v Speaker 1>this is my choice. You're gonna pick up smoking and

0:59:16.680 --> 0:59:20.840
<v Speaker 1>just be smoking like three passage smoking. Oh, totally being

0:59:21.280 --> 0:59:25.440
<v Speaker 1>a distant father, distant husband. Yeah. Well, let's hope that

0:59:25.440 --> 0:59:26.920
<v Speaker 1>doesn't happen. If you ever need anyone to step in
