0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:41.239

<v Speaker 1>gonna be interesting. I'd love to hear more about that.

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:46.639
<v Speaker 1>One of the hot topics we have this week Wells Adams,

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 1>our friend Wells, somebody you recently went golfing with. Thanks

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>for the invite. Bra. You're like, you're in Rhode Island

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>or something, aren't you. No, I'm in l A right now.

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Nice should It was great? Uh, well, it'll be a

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>good time. I heard Wells as a golfer, so I

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>don't want to embarrass myself. But Wells Adams was not

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 1>in the news because of his golfing skills. He was

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:06.959
<v Speaker 1>in the news because he's talking about getting married to

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:11.839
<v Speaker 1>his beautiful fiancee Sarah Highland, apparently well said when asked

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>the question would you be interested in having a wedding

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>in Bachelor in Paradise? Wells responded and quote, no, thank you,

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:23.199
<v Speaker 1>hard pass not surprised. I wonder if that I wonder

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>if that was more of a Wells thing or more

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.040
<v Speaker 1>of a Sarah thing. I think it's I think it's

0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 1>definitely both. But I fully believe that Wells does not

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:35.440
<v Speaker 1>want to get married in Paradise, nor do I blame him. Um, Listen,

0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 1>the show is awesome. I'm a full supporter of the

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 1>show everything the show has given us. When Ash and

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I got engaged down in Paradise, Um, there was some preliminary,

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>very small conversations about possibly getting married on the show,

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 1>and they said, we, you know, would you be interested

0:01:55.880 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>in getting married on Bachelor in Paradise? And we said no, uh,

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>because it's such a cool opportunity to get married on

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>the show. But at the same time, we've seen friends

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.640
<v Speaker 1>go through the process of planning a wedding with the show,

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 1>and like, it's not just about you, It's about a

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>TV show. So you know, there's certain cap on guests

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>you can invite, you know, where the wedding is going

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>to be. You know, some of the ceremonial proceedings, you

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>know it's you know, you get some say in it,

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>but not all. And on your wedding day, you like,

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>it's your freaking wedding day. You wanted it to be

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>everything you've ever wanted, So I don't. I don't. Probably

0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 1>probably would have saved a good amount of money, though, huh, Well,

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.239
<v Speaker 1>that's the nice thing is you save a lot of money.

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>And actually, to reference Ash and I, because we went

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>through very similar situation, we thought about the same thing.

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 1>We're like, wow, we can get a free wedding. I mean,

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 1>who gets the opportunity to have that. But at the

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, I mean we're we're forever grateful

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 1>that we didn't go down that route, not because we

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.639
<v Speaker 1>don't love the show or wouldn't have wanted the opportunity

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 1>to get married on the show, but we just wanted

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 1>our wedding to be what we wanted it to be,

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Like Crystal and Chris's wedding down in Paradise, the season

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>that you were on literally two days after you left

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Paradise first breaking up with Calin of course, going back

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 1>to you know, super off her feet. Uh, you know,

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>you just see like firsthand it was it was hard

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 1>because it was their wedding, but like it was also

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 1>an episode of Bachelor and Paradise where like John Paul

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Jones and Derek were fighting and there was always dramatic

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 1>events home going on, and like they weren't the center

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.840
<v Speaker 1>of attention, which is really sad to not have all

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the attention on you on your running day because it's

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>literally the one day everything should be about you. Well,

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>and to make it to make matters even worse in

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>that sense, it's like they're causing all this drama and

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>making it about them. And Chris and Chrystal don't even

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 1>really know these people, you know, like they don't know

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 1>John Paul Jones. And yet John Paul Jones is the

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>one that's creating a stir at the wedding. So it's like,

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 1>at least if you have your own wedding, like you're

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 1>an Ashley's wedding, if someone created a scene or a stir,

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 1>at least you would be like, that's just that's just

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Nick being Nick, you know, that's but Laurie, you know,

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 1>she's crazy. Oh, she got into the she spiked the

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>cool aid again. That's all Laurie for you. You know,

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>it's a funny story. My sister's wedding. Uh, there was

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:19.919
<v Speaker 1>a big who who pla because one of the guests

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>wore white dress, which is a big no nub is.

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>The only person is supposed to be wearing white is

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.920
<v Speaker 1>of course the bride. So that was what was her

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 1>what was her rationale for it? So apparently her dress.

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.280
<v Speaker 1>She was gonna wear a blue dress or some other

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 1>color dress, but it got ruined like the day before,

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.400
<v Speaker 1>and this is the only dress she had, and it

0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 1>was it was definitely white, but there was like tints

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.360
<v Speaker 1>of blue in it. So her argument was it was

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>a blue dress, even though I mean it was as

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:48.039
<v Speaker 1>white as my skin right now. It's like that the

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.479
<v Speaker 1>office when Kelly wears white too. I think it was

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Phyllis's wedding or something, and she goes it was a

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 1>fashion emergency. The emergency was I look really good and white,

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>similar but different. You look good in certain colors. I

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 1>look good and black, very slimming. Would you ever get

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 1>married in a bachelor and paradise? You can calin, well,

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I'll ever get married, But I mean

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel sorry if you have to get remarried,

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 1>right right right. I don't see why not, you know,

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:21.720
<v Speaker 1>free vacation. Uh, I mean I don't do why not.

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>It's like I don't really put much stick into weddings anyway,

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.920
<v Speaker 1>so it's like, why not just have them fight down

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 1>and only you know some you know, commitment for the

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.919
<v Speaker 1>rest of your life. It's really not that big of

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.359
<v Speaker 1>a deal. Well yeah, I mean, I you know, I

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 1>wake up every morning and I tell Calin how committed

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I am to her for the rest of my life.

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I need a wedding to tell me

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 1>that how much how I need to do that? You

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.159
<v Speaker 1>know what a sweet sweet man does feeling want a

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.039
<v Speaker 1>big wedding. Have you ever talked for about it? Uh?

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.839
<v Speaker 1>We we have not talked about it. I mean we

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 1>haven't like not talked about it, but we uh we don't.

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.160
<v Speaker 1>It's not something we dwell on. I'm not dwelling on.

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.040
<v Speaker 1>But just like you know, I remember even when Ashley

0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and I first got together. You know, it's like conversation

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 1>since you have were like, well, if you know, would

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:03.840
<v Speaker 1>you want kids? Somebody kids? Would you want even though

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 1>you're not planning like have kids with them right now.

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like, just don't talk. I don't think

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:10.160
<v Speaker 1>she would want a big one. I think she'd wanted

0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:13.720
<v Speaker 1>to be in small, intimate gathering. What would you want,

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.280
<v Speaker 1>like I said, I wouldn't want anything at all. You

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 1>would never want a ceremony or anything. You wouldn't really care. No,

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean I I don't. I A. I don't like Um.

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.359
<v Speaker 1>It's the same reason I don't really ever like host

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.560
<v Speaker 1>people over at my house. I hate being like the

0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 1>reason that people are getting together. I hate that like

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 1>people are coming somewhere from far away to like celebrate you,

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and like all eyes are on you, and they're like

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 1>expecting you to like entertain them more or less, you

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. Uh, And so that just that

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:45.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of gives me anxiety. So I don't I don't

0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 1>really ever foresee myself wanting a wedding because of that reason.

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you usually on the same boat. But

0:06:54.279 --> 0:07:00.479
<v Speaker 1>with our wedding, UM, there was this innate like I

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:04.159
<v Speaker 1>remember when we were uh like in the little side

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:08.440
<v Speaker 1>room for the Grunsman and just being so overwhelmed with

0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>emotion because of the exact feeling you're describing right now

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 1>that literally everybody was there just for me and Ash

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and celebrating our love and like all the people that

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I love are all together and this is never gonna

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 1>happen again. And so for that reason, I and I

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 1>think the wedding is like the one time where you

0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 1>can get away with that being like, hey, I don't

0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I like, you just got to focus on it. I

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 1>know you're here for me, but you need to focus

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 1>on yourself kind of thing. I don't know, I don't

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>know how to describe it, but like that what you're

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:44.800
<v Speaker 1>exactly talking about is the reason why I don't like

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 1>hosting people except for the web. My wedding day there's

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 1>the only time where I was like, I'm so happy

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 1>that everybody went out of their way to be here

0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>for me. Well, yeah, I mean it's I guess it's

0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>something that you probably were even stressing out about before

0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>the wedding and then at the wet like you're saying

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 1>in that side room before we're going out there on

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>stage or whatever on the altar, whatever you wanna call it. Uh,

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 1>that's probably like when you're like, okay, because it's actually

0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool, right, Oh, it was awesome. Yeah, the doors

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:12.360
<v Speaker 1>open up. You were the first one who walked down

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 1>the aisle is you and Courtney, and it was just

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 1>like and then like it was. It was so emotional

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>for me because I've talked about this on the podcast before,

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 1>the the combining of all my friends and family, people

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 1>that don't know each other, like you and Nick have

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 1>never met my friends from from home or my family,

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 1>and then so like my friends from home, I've never

0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 1>met you guys. And then you know, with Ben and

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 1>and and and and like Becca and and Tod you

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.960
<v Speaker 1>were there and Amanda and and it was just like

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 1>this this joining of of two separate lives that Ashley

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 1>and I lead, which is what I love so much.

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 1>That was like the best part. But here's the difference

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.560
<v Speaker 1>between you and me. If we were in a movie,

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you would be You're like the main character or like

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:54.720
<v Speaker 1>a central character in the movie, and I'm just like

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 1>a character that comes in, does something crazy and then

0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:00.280
<v Speaker 1>leaves just as quickly as I came. And so you know,

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 1>for for supplementary characters like myself, just it's a little

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 1>it's a little different. See I disagree. I think you're

0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 1>just in a different movie. Like I'm a prototypical wrong, Um,

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:15.720
<v Speaker 1>like whatever, dude, you know, but where you your movie?

0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm in an hour and a half rom com.

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 1>You are in a three hour epic documentary that just

0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 1>goes through the story of your life. You know, I disagree,

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:30.560
<v Speaker 1>but I appreciate that I'm in Yeah, I'm in uh

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:37.080
<v Speaker 1>ten things I hate about you? You are in free Solo. Yeah.

0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 1>But the difference is comparing myself to Alex Honold is

0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:43.560
<v Speaker 1>like comparing a raisin to a pumpkin and then comparing

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 1>you to what is it, Heath Ledger that's in that

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:52.560
<v Speaker 1>movie is like comparing huh, like a to an orange? No, like,

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:54.720
<v Speaker 1>it's it's It's a much closer comparison that you have

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 1>to the lead of that film than I do. That

0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.960
<v Speaker 1>much closer to Heath Ledger. God reciscal uh he was

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.200
<v Speaker 1>good looking man. A lot of charm to that guy. Anyway,

0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 1>let's move on. We'll go to the next hot topic

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:10.359
<v Speaker 1>before we get our guests on here. Former bachelorette, Sorry,

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:11.839
<v Speaker 1>go well, before before we talk about Hannah Brown, I

0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about this real quick. So uh, Michael,

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Michael B. Jordan's everyone's man crush in the world is

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 1>now dating Lorie Harvey, or at least they're officially dating

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.080
<v Speaker 1>um and Lorie Harvey is the daughter of Steve Harvey,

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 1>and Steve has gone on record to say something along

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:27.960
<v Speaker 1>the lines of I like this one, but I still

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:29.839
<v Speaker 1>got my eye on him. I mean, I like him,

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 1>but like I say to all of them, I might

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 1>like you, I might approve of you, but I've got

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 1>some a thumb sized section of my heart filled with

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 1>nothing but pure hatred for you, just in case I

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:43.360
<v Speaker 1>need it. So my question is for for you, what

0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 1>was it like when you met Ashley's dad for the

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.319
<v Speaker 1>first time? And then what was it like to kind of, uh,

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, win his approval or win him over. Well,

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.840
<v Speaker 1>it was interesting meeting Ashley Z because when I first

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 1>met him ashe and I were just friends, and I

0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 1>thought his her parents were gonna freaking hate me. Thank god,

0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 1>they're so welcoming and sweet that that didn't happen. Because

0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I met them immediately after our first season in Paradise,

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 1>where I was just the guy rejecting their daughter, and

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.840
<v Speaker 1>they were so nice and so welcoming, And at this

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 1>point ash and I had become friends, so I'm sure

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, behind my back, so to speaking, not in

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.719
<v Speaker 1>a malicious way, but they were definitely dubious of me,

0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:27.120
<v Speaker 1>as they well should have been. But once we started

0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:31.080
<v Speaker 1>dating to kind of fast forward, they were I think

0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 1>they just they always knew. I think they always felt,

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:36.840
<v Speaker 1>just like a lot of people did in our lives,

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 1>that Ash and I were going to end up together.

0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.680
<v Speaker 1>And I think they always like that. I don't know,

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 1>they they just I never got the treatment of like

0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:50.280
<v Speaker 1>the dad sitting me down and talking to me about

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, loyalty and you know, trying to scare the

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:55.839
<v Speaker 1>that of me before I take their daughter on a

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:57.840
<v Speaker 1>first date. I never really got that. I've never gotten

0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 1>out my life, have you. Um I don't think so.

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. But I guess all the girls

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 1>that I've did in my life, I've always had that issues.

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 1>And maybe that's why. Hell, all right, well do you

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.120
<v Speaker 1>have a time there we go? I'm just kidding. I'm

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 1>just kidding. UM So, so you don't think there's a

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 1>point where like Mr Kennedy could like snap his fingers

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and just have a complete and utter hatred for you.

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Um No, I think we've grown too close, especially now

0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, after every you know, after being married, into

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.560
<v Speaker 1>the family and spending so much time together. No, I

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:34.920
<v Speaker 1>would hope not. I mean, who the hell knows, really,

0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to predict the future, but I hope

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:38.679
<v Speaker 1>that there's a come point where he snaps his fingers

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:42.200
<v Speaker 1>like van Els and then immediately just hates my guts um.

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 1>But anytime I hear stories about this, all I can

0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:45.960
<v Speaker 1>think about is bad Boys Too, when Will Smith and

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.199
<v Speaker 1>Morton Lawrence go to the door and just scare the

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:50.520
<v Speaker 1>crap out of that kid, and and Will Smith's like,

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I just got out of jail and I ain't going back.

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I so my dad. Yeah, I've never really encountered a

0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.640
<v Speaker 1>dad like that, which is so disappointing. I'm curious, if

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, if I'm like, uh huh, and it's kind

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:04.680
<v Speaker 1>of disappointed. Don't you want to see that like that

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 1>one time? Being like the guy that goes to the

0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:08.440
<v Speaker 1>door to take the daughter out, and like the dad

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 1>comes to the door to the shotgun and it's like

0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 1>home by ten or I'm gonna you know bury you right.

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if if anyone in that that produces this

0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.880
<v Speaker 1>podcast might be that type of way, because Mark, for instance,

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.679
<v Speaker 1>has two daughters. If I remember correctly. Mark, do you

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 1>want to chime in and maybe share your thoughts on

0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.840
<v Speaker 1>this as a whole. I do have two daughters, and

0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I've never subscribed to that shotgun dad kind of theory

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.760
<v Speaker 1>because you just want, you talk a big game until

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.280
<v Speaker 1>they're born, and then you just wanted to be happy.

0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 1>You just wanted to date a nice guy. You just

0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.439
<v Speaker 1>want the best for them. So I'm not going to

0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.520
<v Speaker 1>intimidate anybody. My fourteen year old has a boyfriend and

0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.839
<v Speaker 1>he's great, and we think he's great. Now, of course,

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.960
<v Speaker 1>they can't see each other because of the pandemic, so

0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.599
<v Speaker 1>it's basically a FaceTime relationship and that helps me and

0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:58.680
<v Speaker 1>helps me eas into it. They start dating over FaceTime

0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:00.360
<v Speaker 1>or do they know each other before. They've known each

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 1>other from school, but it became a thing over firstime.

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:05.840
<v Speaker 1>It is kind of like a win win for you

0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 1>as a father because, uh, you know, they're not doing

0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.120
<v Speaker 1>anything like physical right and they're like actually like building

0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:15.120
<v Speaker 1>a foundation of trust. And I was just like talking

0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:18.360
<v Speaker 1>to each other all the love it absolutely and also

0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a little bit different for you because Mark's you know,

0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:24.520
<v Speaker 1>midwestern guy married his high school sweetheart, like lives in

0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles has a great job, great life. Like Mark

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:29.880
<v Speaker 1>has nothing to be angry about, so he's not gonna

0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 1>like lash out on his daughter's boyfriends or anything like that.

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I love that. That's your perspective of me, Dan, and

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll take that. That's that's yeah, that's how I see you.

0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.040
<v Speaker 1>But you know, maybe I could be wrong. In our

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.640
<v Speaker 1>last hot topic before we have our guests, come on,

0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:49.160
<v Speaker 1>former bachelorette Hannah Brown was spotted holding hands with model

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Adam Woollard. I don't know why I said that Woollard

0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 1>in Los Angeles. This was actually confirmed by Matt James

0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:00.200
<v Speaker 1>on our fellow our heart radio podcast Almost fam is

0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:04.440
<v Speaker 1>hosted by the Beautiful, Wonderful The Woman I Love Ashley

0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 1>I Ken Eddie Who and Matt James confirmed he he's like,

0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh I met Hannah's boyfriend and he's incredible. So Hannah

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Brown with a new leading man in her life. But

0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:17.880
<v Speaker 1>it's not I mean, I guess it's official. It's just

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:19.720
<v Speaker 1>not Instagram with Thistle, so she has to like post it.

0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Come on now. Uh. Any thoughts on Hannah Brown dating

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:26.800
<v Speaker 1>a new guy? Nope, no thoughts. Congratulations to her. That's

0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.160
<v Speaker 1>good for good for her, yeah, I mean it's gonna

0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:30.520
<v Speaker 1>be hard. It's gonna be hard for her because she

0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:32.520
<v Speaker 1>was like very famously single for a while after her

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 1>and Jed broke up. So I mean, I probably would

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.640
<v Speaker 1>imagine she's been dating. But it's good that she's finally

0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:42.480
<v Speaker 1>comfortable enough with someone to start talking about him publicly.

0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious what Tyler thinks about this, because Tyler and

0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 1>her have such a close, you know, public relationship. I'm

0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:57.320
<v Speaker 1>curious if Tyler is still one of her closest friends,

0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:01.160
<v Speaker 1>because it's always weird when you start dating guy and

0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:04.240
<v Speaker 1>you have a guy best friend who you used to

0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, make out with. I mean, I'm pretty sure

0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Tyler has been linked with like six different Instagram models,

0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>so I don't think he probably cares too much. Well.

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.480
<v Speaker 1>The reason I asked this question is because when Ashley

0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 1>and I were just friends and I was going on

0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:19.640
<v Speaker 1>dates with other people and she was going on dates

0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.000
<v Speaker 1>with other people, these girls that I would go on

0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 1>dates with would always ask me about ash because they

0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:28.080
<v Speaker 1>knew that we had this friendship. But it was kind

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.400
<v Speaker 1>of weird because you know, ash had confessed or feeling

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.080
<v Speaker 1>so many times, and but you guys are still friends,

0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 1>so like, what is this? So I'm curious if this

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.640
<v Speaker 1>guy out him? When Hannah and him first started dating,

0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.160
<v Speaker 1>was like, so what's up with Tyler? Are you guys

0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 1>just friends or not? Or should I be worried? You know,

0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Tyler was obviously a very good looking man. If I

0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.320
<v Speaker 1>was in adam shoes, I would have been worried if

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 1>they were so close. But I wish nothing but the

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 1>best for Hannah and Adam. I'm very excited for Hannah. Hopefully,

0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.440
<v Speaker 1>hopefully this is the one. So who's this Adam guy?

0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:01.680
<v Speaker 1>He's a model or something? You said, Yeah, he's a model,

0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 1>lives in l A. I saw a picture of him

0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:07.760
<v Speaker 1>only with his mask on, only saw his eyes, great eyes. Though,

0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:09.680
<v Speaker 1>I feel like this is a very good looking man.

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Uh he has like he's like green eyes, very jealous

0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:17.359
<v Speaker 1>green eyes are the best. I mean, he's a model,

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:21.919
<v Speaker 1>so I'm sure he's pretty attractive. He's pretty pretty good looking.

0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:24.400
<v Speaker 1>So good for Hannah. I'm happy for Like you said,

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:26.800
<v Speaker 1>she has been famously singer for quite some time, so

0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy that she's in a relationship and hopefully it's

0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.240
<v Speaker 1>a healthy and happy relationship, and hopefully it goes to

0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:35.440
<v Speaker 1>the distance. Yeah great, I'm glad we could contribute really

0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:39.240
<v Speaker 1>nothing to that whole lot of a lot of words

0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:42.720
<v Speaker 1>with nothing behind him. You know, Hey, we're just here

0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:47.080
<v Speaker 1>to ask questions, not answer them. Okay, that's why we're here.

0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.520
<v Speaker 1>That's what we do. That's why it's called help. I

0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:53.560
<v Speaker 1>second dating. It holds us uh zero percent responsible for

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:55.960
<v Speaker 1>anything we say, because we're already telling you how much

0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:59.120
<v Speaker 1>we suck, you know, so it's likely if we're wrong

0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.520
<v Speaker 1>or we're being stupid. It's like, well, what did you expect?

0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:04.640
<v Speaker 1>We say it right there in the title that we suck? Yeah,

0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:09.119
<v Speaker 1>what did you famously say in Paradise under promise, over deliver.

0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.639
<v Speaker 1>That's what we do here at help. I suck at dating.

0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:14.439
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's funny about about that. I think I

0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:17.240
<v Speaker 1>might have show this on the podcast. Uh. I went,

0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I got lunch with my boss like a like a lot,

0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.280
<v Speaker 1>like a year ago or something like that, and he goes, hey,

0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:25.440
<v Speaker 1>I heard you say under promise over deliver. And he goes,

0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, I told you that when you were interviewing

0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:30.880
<v Speaker 1>for this job, and I was like, I honestly had

0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:32.680
<v Speaker 1>no idea. So apparently I sold that from my former

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:36.679
<v Speaker 1>boss um, fun little facts. So, Daniel Tuto, if you're listening,

0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:43.040
<v Speaker 1>thanks for the great catchphrase. Well yeah, yeah, yeah. We

0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 1>having me. Of course, first I have to say I

0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:37.159
<v Speaker 1>love somebody with three names. I really I there's something

0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:41.600
<v Speaker 1>badass about it. Robin Gorman Newman like it just sounds cool.

0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna start calling myself Jared Matthew Haven. That's my

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:46.560
<v Speaker 1>middle name. It doesn't have as much gump sure as

0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:48.800
<v Speaker 1>your name though. Unfortunately, so of course you are the

0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.040
<v Speaker 1>author of How To Meet a Mention in New York

0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and how to Marry a Mention? Um, you course been

0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:57.359
<v Speaker 1>on CNN, You've been on the Today Show. So tell me,

0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.560
<v Speaker 1>first of all, what exactly is a mention? Why should

0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:03.000
<v Speaker 1>we want to marry a mention? A mention is a decent,

0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:05.879
<v Speaker 1>responsible person, and it's a man or a woman. So

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:07.879
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to be a mensche to be a

0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 1>female mench. And why are we talking about mention is

0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:14.280
<v Speaker 1>because now more than ever, the world needs all the

0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:16.800
<v Speaker 1>menshas it can get. And if you're looking for a

0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:19.280
<v Speaker 1>mate or a partner or whatever it is you want

0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:21.199
<v Speaker 1>in your life, a mensch is the way to go

0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:24.400
<v Speaker 1>because they'll treat you well. And who wouldn't want that?

0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:27.880
<v Speaker 1>And you read about specifically meeting a mention in New

0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:31.800
<v Speaker 1>York or how to Is that right? Well? My first

0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.199
<v Speaker 1>book was about New York, but the second book is

0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:36.840
<v Speaker 1>broad based and it includes stories of people who met

0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:39.520
<v Speaker 1>their menses. Why do you think it's so hard to

0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:42.080
<v Speaker 1>meet a mention in New York more so than most places?

0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:45.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's a numbers game, and New York is

0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.240
<v Speaker 1>so fast, just like the Internet is so fast. So

0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:51.080
<v Speaker 1>there's on the web puble of the swiping, and in

0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:54.000
<v Speaker 1>New York you have all the just speed walking and

0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:57.520
<v Speaker 1>everything is speed driven. And I think what's important is

0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:01.280
<v Speaker 1>to give people a chance because a mench might not

0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:05.600
<v Speaker 1>show up as the most um you know, enticing for

0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:07.960
<v Speaker 1>us and to start to begin with, not to say

0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:11.000
<v Speaker 1>that a mench can't be, but some people feel like

0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 1>a mention is maybe not sexy or maybe doesn't ride

0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:17.040
<v Speaker 1>a motorcycle, and that's not true. But you want to

0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:19.400
<v Speaker 1>give a person a chance, give them time, and don't

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:22.359
<v Speaker 1>judge so quickly. And I think New Yorkers or just

0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:24.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe a little quick to do that. Well, I really

0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:29.280
<v Speaker 1>just faster in New York. That's the thing, exactly exactly.

0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:31.760
<v Speaker 1>But let's talk about that then, because I imagine a

0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:35.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of women struggle to transition from dating like the

0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:39.080
<v Speaker 1>anti mench if you will to then start dating that

0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.840
<v Speaker 1>the mench right exactly. So what kind of advice would

0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:44.119
<v Speaker 1>you have for someone that that even is able to

0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:47.360
<v Speaker 1>recognize the fact that they're attracted to quote unquote bad

0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:50.879
<v Speaker 1>boy or bad girl Because you said menches is gender agnostics,

0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:53.280
<v Speaker 1>So what advice would you have for someone that's that

0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:56.280
<v Speaker 1>has maybe recognized that fault in themselves and then wants

0:21:56.359 --> 0:22:00.720
<v Speaker 1>to pursue a true mench. I think if they recognize that,

0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:03.200
<v Speaker 1>that's half the battle, because a lot of the time

0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:05.920
<v Speaker 1>they're just not willing to admit that. And you really

0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:07.760
<v Speaker 1>have to own your stuff. You want to do like

0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:10.640
<v Speaker 1>a tough love look at yourself and if you've been

0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:12.959
<v Speaker 1>doing the same thing like for the last ten years,

0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:16.280
<v Speaker 1>and if you've never had a good relationship, then you

0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:18.040
<v Speaker 1>want to step back and say, hey, you know what,

0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I gotta do something different here, and I am willing

0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:24.040
<v Speaker 1>to go the mench root. And let's frame that in

0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:26.600
<v Speaker 1>a positive way. A mench is not a schlap. A

0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:28.720
<v Speaker 1>mention is not a nerd. You know. Mention is not

0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:34.400
<v Speaker 1>a schlemil or any other word you would attach to it. Yeah,

0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:37.120
<v Speaker 1>that's from the Labrena Shirley. Did you see that TV

0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:43.719
<v Speaker 1>that song? You know, it's like as kind of person,

0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:46.320
<v Speaker 1>And that's not what a mention is. A mention is

0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:49.360
<v Speaker 1>a quality person. And I think that people are more

0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:52.440
<v Speaker 1>inclined to meet one when you decide you deserve it.

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:56.000
<v Speaker 1>And that's really the key. So a lot of people,

0:22:56.440 --> 0:22:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I think can relate to what you're saying. Where oh,

0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I've always dated the wrong people, but I'm attracted to

0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:03.159
<v Speaker 1>the wrong people, and they recognize that they need to

0:23:03.160 --> 0:23:05.120
<v Speaker 1>make a change in their life. I think the problem

0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:07.280
<v Speaker 1>is a lot of people don't know how to even

0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:10.320
<v Speaker 1>begin at making those changes. So do you have any

0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:13.040
<v Speaker 1>advice for people that are going through similar situations where

0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:16.400
<v Speaker 1>they realize they're dating the wrong people, they just don't

0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:20.080
<v Speaker 1>know how to date the right people. I think you

0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:22.000
<v Speaker 1>might want to start by taking a look at what

0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:24.520
<v Speaker 1>your efforts are. So, for example, if you want to

0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:27.640
<v Speaker 1>meet a mention, and a mention could be also defined

0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:30.840
<v Speaker 1>as someone who is community minded, someone who would have

0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:34.680
<v Speaker 1>your back but also possibly the back of others. So

0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:38.000
<v Speaker 1>that could mean maybe exploring volunteer work, getting involved with

0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:42.919
<v Speaker 1>a nonprofit organization, pursuing something with continuity, which that often

0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:45.760
<v Speaker 1>happens with volunteer work because when you get to see

0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:48.160
<v Speaker 1>some of the same faces more than once, you get

0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:52.280
<v Speaker 1>to establish friendships that can lead to more. So I'm

0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:54.800
<v Speaker 1>really a fan of not just doing things that might

0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:58.560
<v Speaker 1>feel blatantly social, but things that will expand your social

0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:01.920
<v Speaker 1>circle and only maybe allow you to open your eyes

0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:04.879
<v Speaker 1>in a way that you haven't done before. Do you

0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:08.200
<v Speaker 1>think do you think it's possible to turn schmuck into

0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:09.800
<v Speaker 1>a mench, And schmuck is the word I'm going to

0:24:09.960 --> 0:24:11.600
<v Speaker 1>use as the opposite of a mention from now on.

0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:13.800
<v Speaker 1>So can you Can you meet a schmuck and then

0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:16.960
<v Speaker 1>turn him into a mench? Do you think that's a

0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:19.680
<v Speaker 1>really good question. I think you could only do that

0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:24.320
<v Speaker 1>if the schmuck had the desire. Mm hmm. I I

0:24:24.359 --> 0:24:27.199
<v Speaker 1>asked that too, because a lot of people so so,

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I've been dating my girlfriend now for almost uh two

0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:32.399
<v Speaker 1>years something like that, it will be two years in June,

0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:33.840
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of a lot of people when we

0:24:33.840 --> 0:24:37.119
<v Speaker 1>started dating, we're saying that Kaylin is the one that

0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:39.680
<v Speaker 1>turned me from a bad boy into a mench, right,

0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 1>and so uh I, I personally don't necessarily agree fully

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 1>with that, but I agree. I think that you have

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:51.240
<v Speaker 1>to find someone that's ready to put their schmuck ways

0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:53.880
<v Speaker 1>behind them and ready and and and start being a mench.

0:24:54.880 --> 0:24:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Did you that's interesting that story? Did you feel that

0:24:57.760 --> 0:25:03.160
<v Speaker 1>did you feel a transition? I mean, yeah, I guess so.

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:05.119
<v Speaker 1>I think, well, there's like kind of a bit of

0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:07.359
<v Speaker 1>a backstory, but like I broke up with her, like

0:25:07.400 --> 0:25:09.800
<v Speaker 1>after a couple of days of dating because I don't

0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:11.560
<v Speaker 1>want to have a girlfriend. And then I realized the

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 1>error of my ways, and I came back and asked

0:25:13.760 --> 0:25:15.960
<v Speaker 1>her to be my girlfriend. And it's been more or

0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:17.960
<v Speaker 1>less smooth sailing, you know, with a couple of couple

0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:19.920
<v Speaker 1>of cloudy days, but for the most part it's been

0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:24.440
<v Speaker 1>it's been pretty good. But transition from a schmuck to

0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:28.119
<v Speaker 1>a mench, the schmuck needs to recognize there being a

0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:31.800
<v Speaker 1>schmuck right well. And I think to Robin's point too,

0:25:31.960 --> 0:25:34.520
<v Speaker 1>is I think that this schmuck at one point just

0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:36.119
<v Speaker 1>decided I was done being a schmuck and I was

0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:37.840
<v Speaker 1>ready to be a mench. And so I was like, Okay,

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:40.159
<v Speaker 1>schmuck days are behind me. Mench days are ahead of me.

0:25:40.400 --> 0:25:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's get this going. But do you think part of

0:25:42.880 --> 0:25:46.560
<v Speaker 1>it is because of not just how what she might

0:25:46.600 --> 0:25:49.640
<v Speaker 1>have offered you, but what you decided you wanted with her,

0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:53.800
<v Speaker 1>and you wanted to show up as a better person. Yeah,

0:25:53.840 --> 0:25:55.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean I think so. And don't get me wrong,

0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:57.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean she deserves a lot of credit too, because

0:25:57.400 --> 0:25:59.600
<v Speaker 1>she makes me a better person as well. Um, it's

0:25:59.600 --> 0:26:02.479
<v Speaker 1>not entirely just a decision, but but yeah, I don't know.

0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:03.919
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to it's hard to say, really, but I've

0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:06.119
<v Speaker 1>I've got a question for you. So, I believe in

0:26:06.160 --> 0:26:09.439
<v Speaker 1>your books you say that most mentions are mama's boys.

0:26:09.560 --> 0:26:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Is that true? Well, it depends how you define that.

0:26:14.400 --> 0:26:16.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you could look at that initially and feel

0:26:16.560 --> 0:26:19.200
<v Speaker 1>like that's a bad thing because when you say MoMA's boy,

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:21.639
<v Speaker 1>it might feel like they're attached to their mama or

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:24.680
<v Speaker 1>what have you. But my point with that is that

0:26:25.080 --> 0:26:28.439
<v Speaker 1>take a look at how they treat their mother. Because

0:26:28.640 --> 0:26:31.320
<v Speaker 1>someone should respect their mother. Of course, love their mother,

0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:35.440
<v Speaker 1>show up for their mother, you know, within reason. Of course,

0:26:35.480 --> 0:26:37.959
<v Speaker 1>live their own life as well. But if they're not

0:26:38.000 --> 0:26:41.080
<v Speaker 1>being decent towards their mother, to me, that's a major

0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:44.320
<v Speaker 1>red flag. I agree, Jared, What do you think as

0:26:45.040 --> 0:26:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I would say, Jared's mama's boy. Yeah, I'm a self

0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:53.200
<v Speaker 1>proclaimed mama's boy. I would well, I mean she Actually

0:26:53.200 --> 0:26:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I was talking about this yesterday with to Ashley about

0:26:57.520 --> 0:27:02.200
<v Speaker 1>how I feel like we don't appreciate our mother's enough.

0:27:03.000 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Because I so, I look at one of my close friends, Jade,

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:11.800
<v Speaker 1>and she has three kids. She's thirty three. All the

0:27:11.840 --> 0:27:14.040
<v Speaker 1>kids are under three years old and I've seen how

0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:18.639
<v Speaker 1>much love and effort this woman pours into her kids,

0:27:18.840 --> 0:27:22.520
<v Speaker 1>and I was thinking about it. Her kids are never

0:27:22.560 --> 0:27:25.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna remember this, Like everything she's ever done for them

0:27:25.880 --> 0:27:29.480
<v Speaker 1>up to this point, they're never gonna remember. They won't

0:27:29.520 --> 0:27:33.040
<v Speaker 1>appreciate because at some point when like her kids get

0:27:33.080 --> 0:27:35.000
<v Speaker 1>to ten or eleven, like, the kids are gonna hate

0:27:35.000 --> 0:27:37.040
<v Speaker 1>the parents because that's what they do for a little while.

0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:40.000
<v Speaker 1>And so to me, I was like, man, I feel bad,

0:27:40.200 --> 0:27:45.760
<v Speaker 1>like literally up until I was you know, however, old seven,

0:27:46.160 --> 0:27:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I I would have died without them, and I don't

0:27:48.160 --> 0:27:50.760
<v Speaker 1>even remember this. So anyway, uh, you know, for any

0:27:50.920 --> 0:27:53.920
<v Speaker 1>and any schmucks out there who don't appreciate their parents,

0:27:54.480 --> 0:27:56.959
<v Speaker 1>become a mensch and become a mama's boy, And as

0:27:56.960 --> 0:27:58.840
<v Speaker 1>soon as you admit it, it's a better life, I

0:27:58.880 --> 0:28:02.040
<v Speaker 1>promise you. So that's my theory on Mama's boy. But Jared,

0:28:02.080 --> 0:28:04.520
<v Speaker 1>by that logic, you should just like say, have a baby,

0:28:04.680 --> 0:28:06.480
<v Speaker 1>give it to like a foster, care for the first

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:08.120
<v Speaker 1>eight years of their life, and then take it back

0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:13.399
<v Speaker 1>and then start raising it. Yeah, no difference exactly. I

0:28:13.480 --> 0:28:16.440
<v Speaker 1>think I think you're you're Jade, for instance, who's raising

0:28:16.480 --> 0:28:19.440
<v Speaker 1>these young children is ingraining in them that they can

0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:21.480
<v Speaker 1>trust her and that she will take care of them

0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:23.560
<v Speaker 1>and protect them. Whether they are going to remember it

0:28:23.640 --> 0:28:25.359
<v Speaker 1>or not, I think that they're still at least mentally

0:28:25.400 --> 0:28:28.080
<v Speaker 1>registering it. That's going to be stored at them forever subconsciously.

0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:31.720
<v Speaker 1>I hope you're right, and I think you're ultimately right, obviously,

0:28:32.359 --> 0:28:35.680
<v Speaker 1>But there is this sense of me when I when

0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I think about my childhood and how much I did

0:28:39.000 --> 0:28:42.320
<v Speaker 1>not appreciate my parents until I was older and could

0:28:42.320 --> 0:28:47.160
<v Speaker 1>really understand the concept of a parent child relationship. I

0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:49.200
<v Speaker 1>just wish I knew that early on, because I felt

0:28:49.240 --> 0:28:51.640
<v Speaker 1>so bad. One thing, one thing I've always questioned and

0:28:51.640 --> 0:28:53.640
<v Speaker 1>started to detract from the topic at hand here, But

0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I've always I'll always like, see, uh, like parents bring

0:28:57.240 --> 0:28:58.840
<v Speaker 1>like their one or two year old child to like

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Disneyland or like on a expensive tropical vacation, and I'm like, well, what,

0:29:03.320 --> 0:29:05.800
<v Speaker 1>what like they're not gonna remember that? What do we know?

0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Like it's not even fun for them. You know, it's loud,

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:10.720
<v Speaker 1>it's hot, it's like they're probably complaining and whining the

0:29:10.760 --> 0:29:12.480
<v Speaker 1>whole time. I just that's one thing that I haven't

0:29:12.480 --> 0:29:14.400
<v Speaker 1>really I can't go to dinner because you have the kids,

0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Like it's like a twenty five minute limit before they

0:29:16.560 --> 0:29:18.280
<v Speaker 1>start crying. So it's like you gotta go in, you

0:29:18.280 --> 0:29:21.160
<v Speaker 1>gotta order, eat and get the hell out. Robin, what's

0:29:21.160 --> 0:29:24.200
<v Speaker 1>your take on this? We would love to hear a

0:29:24.200 --> 0:29:26.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of takes on this. Well, I have a seventeen

0:29:26.200 --> 0:29:30.400
<v Speaker 1>year old, so I so get it. Um those vacations

0:29:30.400 --> 0:29:33.160
<v Speaker 1>for ust of all those are for the parents. And

0:29:33.360 --> 0:29:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, let's be real, like, is it a two

0:29:34.920 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 1>year old that they don't know we took my son

0:29:37.440 --> 0:29:40.960
<v Speaker 1>on a cruise when he was I don't even know,

0:29:41.160 --> 0:29:44.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, tennis, maybe less he remembers he went on

0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:47.680
<v Speaker 1>a cruise, but he has no idea like where we went,

0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:51.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, or which is kind of okay with me

0:29:51.440 --> 0:29:54.680
<v Speaker 1>because I wanted to go. So it depends our affectation,

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:57.440
<v Speaker 1>you know. But I think, you know, you raise an

0:29:57.440 --> 0:30:00.320
<v Speaker 1>interesting conversation around us. And I know we're talking about love,

0:30:00.440 --> 0:30:03.320
<v Speaker 1>but the whole idea of a mench comes up for

0:30:03.440 --> 0:30:07.400
<v Speaker 1>me as well as a parent in terms of raising one.

0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:10.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, our our mention is born or bread. And

0:30:10.760 --> 0:30:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I grapple with this a lot because I think it's

0:30:13.280 --> 0:30:17.240
<v Speaker 1>interesting when a parent has the wherewithal to be conscious

0:30:17.280 --> 0:30:21.280
<v Speaker 1>of modeling menshood, you know, for their child. But what

0:30:21.400 --> 0:30:25.000
<v Speaker 1>if they don't, and then someone is raised and they're

0:30:25.080 --> 0:30:28.960
<v Speaker 1>not exposed to that. Can they then segue from that?

0:30:29.000 --> 0:30:31.280
<v Speaker 1>As you said earlier, you know, to become that mench

0:30:31.360 --> 0:30:34.600
<v Speaker 1>and would men should be even on their radar having

0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 1>that come from that background. I remember a while ago,

0:30:39.120 --> 0:30:41.680
<v Speaker 1>and the statistic is probably outdated and probably even wrong,

0:30:41.720 --> 0:30:44.080
<v Speaker 1>but I remember reading it. It said, uh that like

0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:48.440
<v Speaker 1>i Q is hereditary, which means sixty of it is

0:30:48.480 --> 0:30:51.120
<v Speaker 1>what you gain throughout life experiences, et cetera. Which I

0:30:51.120 --> 0:30:57.000
<v Speaker 1>imagine most characteristics that we embody and embolden are hereditary taught.

0:30:57.000 --> 0:30:59.480
<v Speaker 1>And so when you say, you know, is it born

0:30:59.560 --> 0:31:01.800
<v Speaker 1>or bread that I imagine that at least the majority

0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:03.959
<v Speaker 1>of it has to be bred. Like if you're a

0:31:04.000 --> 0:31:06.280
<v Speaker 1>really good parent and you're like a stand up citizen,

0:31:06.320 --> 0:31:09.800
<v Speaker 1>model citizen, uh, your child will see that and then

0:31:09.840 --> 0:31:12.920
<v Speaker 1>hopefully incorporated into their life and be a mention much

0:31:12.920 --> 0:31:17.240
<v Speaker 1>earlier on than most other children would be. Right. That's

0:31:17.280 --> 0:31:19.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of my take on it at least. Yeah, I

0:31:19.600 --> 0:31:22.320
<v Speaker 1>think so, And for me that's been really important within

0:31:22.480 --> 0:31:25.560
<v Speaker 1>raising my son. He's actually volunteer firefighter and he's just seventeen,

0:31:26.400 --> 0:31:28.600
<v Speaker 1>so I sort of feel like we did the mention thing,

0:31:28.760 --> 0:31:31.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, and in that way that he's very community minded.

0:31:31.840 --> 0:31:34.480
<v Speaker 1>So you would call your seventeen year old to mench Oh, yeah,

0:31:34.520 --> 0:31:38.600
<v Speaker 1>he's a managed good job. But even mentions aren't perfect,

0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:42.720
<v Speaker 1>you know. Let me nobody is no mentor schmuck is

0:31:42.720 --> 0:31:47.000
<v Speaker 1>perfect or imperfect to that batter. Uh So, Robin, I

0:31:47.040 --> 0:31:49.000
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to ask one more question before we let

0:31:49.000 --> 0:31:51.000
<v Speaker 1>you go, And I want to ask about the current

0:31:51.040 --> 0:31:54.800
<v Speaker 1>state of the world the pandemic, because this has changed

0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I think the dating game for a lot of different ways. Um,

0:31:59.040 --> 0:32:03.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're living in the most isolated, lonely time, uh,

0:32:03.800 --> 0:32:06.000
<v Speaker 1>at least in my lifetime. So I want to ask you,

0:32:06.040 --> 0:32:10.600
<v Speaker 1>as a love coach, how has love and relationships changed

0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:14.560
<v Speaker 1>during the pandemic. And if somebody's single out there, what

0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:16.520
<v Speaker 1>are some of the things that you think they can

0:32:16.600 --> 0:32:20.840
<v Speaker 1>do to fight that loneliness if they're unable to really

0:32:20.840 --> 0:32:24.280
<v Speaker 1>meet up with people in person. Yeah, well, I love

0:32:24.320 --> 0:32:27.200
<v Speaker 1>that and I'd love to live your leave your listeners

0:32:27.320 --> 0:32:30.320
<v Speaker 1>with the notion that this doesn't have to be wasted time.

0:32:30.960 --> 0:32:32.760
<v Speaker 1>And I know you know, I've actually been working with

0:32:32.840 --> 0:32:35.280
<v Speaker 1>quite a number of love coaching clients during this time.

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I do one on one consults and it's you know,

0:32:38.840 --> 0:32:41.320
<v Speaker 1>the main thing that's come up is what can I

0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:44.120
<v Speaker 1>do now? And I think it's an amazing time to

0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:48.040
<v Speaker 1>connect virtually in a really quality way with people. And

0:32:48.120 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I've been doing all kinds of zooms, whether it's do

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:53.840
<v Speaker 1>a networking group. Um, you have this new clubhouse app

0:32:53.920 --> 0:32:56.920
<v Speaker 1>that everyone's you know, hot for. People are connecting on

0:32:57.040 --> 0:33:01.520
<v Speaker 1>their even connecting on Facebook and linked in Instagram in

0:33:01.560 --> 0:33:04.840
<v Speaker 1>more heartfelt ways. You might have all these friends on there,

0:33:04.880 --> 0:33:09.120
<v Speaker 1>but reach out to people individually and see you fail

0:33:09.240 --> 0:33:11.520
<v Speaker 1>zooms if they want to do with chat. I've been

0:33:11.600 --> 0:33:16.040
<v Speaker 1>finding people much more willing, much more available during this time,

0:33:16.360 --> 0:33:19.040
<v Speaker 1>so I think it's a great opportunity to really avail

0:33:19.120 --> 0:33:23.120
<v Speaker 1>yourself of that. Take some online classes where you're in

0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the zoom room and you get to chat with people

0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:29.479
<v Speaker 1>in there too, because that can lead to relationship building

0:33:29.480 --> 0:33:33.040
<v Speaker 1>and eventually you can be when it feels safe. So

0:33:33.080 --> 0:33:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I think keep the faith and really, you know, sees

0:33:36.200 --> 0:33:39.560
<v Speaker 1>this moment to make new friends, even if it's virtual.

0:33:39.640 --> 0:33:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Because I've had a lot of success actually, during this time,

0:33:42.800 --> 0:33:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I know I've connected with people that I probably would

0:33:45.640 --> 0:33:49.560
<v Speaker 1>not have ever connected with prior to the pandemic. So

0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:53.520
<v Speaker 1>that's a big upside. Yeah. No, I think that's great

0:33:53.520 --> 0:33:55.880
<v Speaker 1>advice and I love that. I hope listeners take it

0:33:55.880 --> 0:33:57.960
<v Speaker 1>to heart because I told myself I was going to

0:33:58.000 --> 0:34:00.520
<v Speaker 1>write a movie script during this time, and I've gotten

0:34:00.840 --> 0:34:03.680
<v Speaker 1>about three lines done. So don't be like me in

0:34:03.720 --> 0:34:06.080
<v Speaker 1>that sense, get stuff done. We have the opportunity to

0:34:06.080 --> 0:34:08.080
<v Speaker 1>do it. So Robin, thank you so much for joining us.

0:35:04.719 --> 0:35:07.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna try and power through him as quickly, well not

0:35:07.520 --> 0:35:09.839
<v Speaker 1>as quickly as we can, because you know, we want

0:35:09.840 --> 0:35:11.279
<v Speaker 1>to drag this out for as long as possible. But

0:35:12.160 --> 0:35:14.320
<v Speaker 1>I think Mark's got places to be, He's got something.

0:35:16.760 --> 0:35:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh Mark's gone, so you know what where it's gonna have.

0:35:19.400 --> 0:35:23.239
<v Speaker 1>Let's see maybe Becky Riley or Eastern the Voice of God,

0:35:23.320 --> 0:35:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Come on, baby, that's right, I am the voice of God.

0:35:26.120 --> 0:35:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for recognizing um. This first one is from Melissa.

0:35:29.840 --> 0:35:32.480
<v Speaker 1>How do I navigate my two year relationship with my

0:35:32.560 --> 0:35:34.920
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend when I have a huge issue with this brother?

0:35:35.360 --> 0:35:38.080
<v Speaker 1>With all the major events that have happened in we've

0:35:38.080 --> 0:35:41.160
<v Speaker 1>definitely had a lot of major discussions in regards to race, religion,

0:35:41.280 --> 0:35:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Black lives matter, Blue lives matter. His comments offend me.

0:35:45.040 --> 0:35:47.279
<v Speaker 1>I've discussed this with my boyfriend and he sort of

0:35:47.320 --> 0:35:49.520
<v Speaker 1>excuses it by saying, that's just the way it is.

0:35:49.840 --> 0:35:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I never take anything he says seriously, but it's harder

0:35:52.600 --> 0:35:54.800
<v Speaker 1>for me to sweep it under the rug. I wouldn't

0:35:54.800 --> 0:35:57.200
<v Speaker 1>want to end my relationship just because I don't like

0:35:57.280 --> 0:35:58.960
<v Speaker 1>one of his brothers, But how do I manage my

0:35:59.000 --> 0:36:01.640
<v Speaker 1>feelings going forward? My boyfriend said he would talk to

0:36:01.680 --> 0:36:04.160
<v Speaker 1>him privately in that way you don't feel uncomfortable around him.

0:36:04.200 --> 0:36:05.960
<v Speaker 1>But I've told my boyfriend not to because I don't

0:36:06.000 --> 0:36:08.760
<v Speaker 1>want to cause drama. So what do we tell Melissa?

0:36:10.480 --> 0:36:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I think what we tell Melissa is, well, you're not

0:36:14.200 --> 0:36:17.480
<v Speaker 1>dating his brother, so it's like he might have a

0:36:17.520 --> 0:36:19.640
<v Speaker 1>different viewpoint of view, but it's not like that's the

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:21.840
<v Speaker 1>person that you're dating potentially gonna spend the rest of

0:36:21.880 --> 0:36:24.040
<v Speaker 1>your life with. So as much of a maybe like

0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:26.560
<v Speaker 1>a I don't want to say nuisance, I don't want

0:36:26.600 --> 0:36:30.000
<v Speaker 1>to like belittle, uh, the differences and opinions here, But

0:36:30.640 --> 0:36:32.960
<v Speaker 1>as much of any convenience or whatever it is for you,

0:36:33.000 --> 0:36:34.920
<v Speaker 1>it's not like that's the person that you're choosing to date.

0:36:35.000 --> 0:36:36.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, So as long as your boyfriend shares the

0:36:36.640 --> 0:36:39.160
<v Speaker 1>same ideals and you're comfortable with what he believes, I

0:36:39.200 --> 0:36:41.960
<v Speaker 1>think that's the most important thing. Um, what do you

0:36:42.000 --> 0:36:45.399
<v Speaker 1>guys think, yeah, I I totally agree. You're not dating

0:36:45.400 --> 0:36:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the boy the brother like, yeah, I just you might

0:36:48.080 --> 0:36:51.120
<v Speaker 1>have to put up with it around the holidays and

0:36:51.480 --> 0:36:53.799
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that, and you two just might have to,

0:36:53.920 --> 0:36:57.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, put your differences aside and realize that you

0:36:57.280 --> 0:36:59.800
<v Speaker 1>know your family and you're married to his brother, and

0:37:00.239 --> 0:37:01.960
<v Speaker 1>you know you when you see each other, you have

0:37:02.040 --> 0:37:05.479
<v Speaker 1>to be cordial and not talk politics. I mean, I

0:37:05.480 --> 0:37:07.799
<v Speaker 1>I it seems like the boyfriend is doing everything he

0:37:07.800 --> 0:37:11.080
<v Speaker 1>possibly can. He said, you know, he's he's trying to

0:37:11.080 --> 0:37:13.319
<v Speaker 1>make Melissa comfortable, and he said that he talked to

0:37:13.360 --> 0:37:15.680
<v Speaker 1>his brother. So I think that at the end of

0:37:15.680 --> 0:37:18.600
<v Speaker 1>the day, Melissa, the best thing moving forward is for

0:37:18.640 --> 0:37:22.120
<v Speaker 1>you to not talk politics around her brother, around his brother,

0:37:22.440 --> 0:37:25.640
<v Speaker 1>And then maybe it's good for Melissa, your boyfriend to

0:37:25.760 --> 0:37:28.760
<v Speaker 1>talk to his brother and just say, hey, listen, Melissa

0:37:28.800 --> 0:37:31.319
<v Speaker 1>has a different viewpoint. Let's just not talk politics when

0:37:31.320 --> 0:37:35.040
<v Speaker 1>we're together. I mean, the cornerstone to any successful relationship

0:37:35.120 --> 0:37:38.680
<v Speaker 1>are in laws with which you fundamentally disagree. So I

0:37:38.719 --> 0:37:41.160
<v Speaker 1>think you're you're in for You're in for a strong

0:37:41.480 --> 0:37:45.239
<v Speaker 1>relationship there, Melissa. Don't don't worry about it. Uh, let's

0:37:45.239 --> 0:37:47.839
<v Speaker 1>see one more here. This is from NICKI do you

0:37:47.880 --> 0:37:49.600
<v Speaker 1>think that if you were in high school at the

0:37:49.640 --> 0:37:52.160
<v Speaker 1>same time as your partner, would you guys have dated?

0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Why or why not? Jared, I'll let you take the

0:37:56.040 --> 0:37:59.640
<v Speaker 1>lead on this one. Damn, that's a great question, I think. So.

0:38:00.080 --> 0:38:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I think I would have dated Ash back in high school. Um, yeah,

0:38:07.680 --> 0:38:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know if I she would

0:38:10.640 --> 0:38:15.839
<v Speaker 1>have liked me post junior year, most likely senior year.

0:38:15.920 --> 0:38:17.799
<v Speaker 1>I think Ash would have started liking me because that's

0:38:17.800 --> 0:38:20.160
<v Speaker 1>when I started coming into my own and starting I

0:38:20.200 --> 0:38:22.080
<v Speaker 1>felt like I kind of looked like a good looking

0:38:22.160 --> 0:38:24.560
<v Speaker 1>high school kid back then. Senior year. Before that, I

0:38:24.640 --> 0:38:26.839
<v Speaker 1>was fat, So I think she would have started liking

0:38:26.840 --> 0:38:30.439
<v Speaker 1>the senior year. And I think Ash's personality she would

0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:32.120
<v Speaker 1>have been the cool girl in school, so I would

0:38:32.160 --> 0:38:36.760
<v Speaker 1>have been attracted to her. Uh. And I've seen pictures

0:38:36.760 --> 0:38:39.319
<v Speaker 1>of Ash in high school lots of makeup, which I

0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:41.240
<v Speaker 1>thought was the hottest thing when I was a teenager,

0:38:41.320 --> 0:38:45.240
<v Speaker 1>So I think I would have really liked her. Good answer,

0:38:45.320 --> 0:38:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Good answer. Uh. I think that Caitlin and I probably

0:38:49.360 --> 0:38:51.560
<v Speaker 1>would not have dated in high school. I think when

0:38:51.560 --> 0:38:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I was in high school, uh, and even in college

0:38:54.000 --> 0:38:57.040
<v Speaker 1>I really like like the tomboy ish type girls like

0:38:57.120 --> 0:39:00.480
<v Speaker 1>the the the athletes. Contrary to Jared, I I did not,

0:39:00.560 --> 0:39:04.160
<v Speaker 1>like still don't like makeup, but especially then, and I

0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:06.840
<v Speaker 1>know that Klin, uh you know, she was in pageants

0:39:06.840 --> 0:39:08.760
<v Speaker 1>back then. I just don't think it would have necessarily

0:39:08.840 --> 0:39:10.799
<v Speaker 1>been someone I would have gravitated towards. I also know

0:39:10.840 --> 0:39:13.120
<v Speaker 1>that Klin is a bit of an introvert, and I

0:39:13.160 --> 0:39:16.520
<v Speaker 1>think back then, especially I would sometimes like lean on

0:39:16.560 --> 0:39:19.480
<v Speaker 1>my partner or my girlfriend to be the extrovert of

0:39:19.520 --> 0:39:21.560
<v Speaker 1>the relationship, to kind of like be the center of

0:39:21.600 --> 0:39:25.399
<v Speaker 1>attention at times. And uh, for those reasons, I don't

0:39:25.400 --> 0:39:29.160
<v Speaker 1>think I would have necessarily pursued her in high school. Yeah,

0:39:29.160 --> 0:39:30.680
<v Speaker 1>you know what's funny, I don't think I have a type?

0:39:32.040 --> 0:39:35.279
<v Speaker 1>Do you think you have a type? I thought I did,

0:39:36.600 --> 0:39:39.120
<v Speaker 1>but before I started in Klin, I would have said

0:39:39.120 --> 0:39:41.239
<v Speaker 1>my type with something completely different, So I guess I

0:39:41.239 --> 0:39:44.520
<v Speaker 1>don't either. What do you think? It kind of goes

0:39:44.520 --> 0:39:46.560
<v Speaker 1>back to what Robin was saying, though, It's like, well,

0:39:46.600 --> 0:39:48.880
<v Speaker 1>sorry to interrupt Easton, but like you know, if you

0:39:48.960 --> 0:39:50.560
<v Speaker 1>if you do something so many times and it keeps

0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:52.040
<v Speaker 1>failing and failing, then maybe you should switch it up

0:39:52.080 --> 0:39:55.319
<v Speaker 1>and try something different. I have a type and it's

0:39:55.680 --> 0:40:00.960
<v Speaker 1>gigantic asses. That's my type. And bootygether. Yeah, and that's

0:40:00.960 --> 0:40:02.839
<v Speaker 1>why you're such a big CARDI beef. It's it's true.

0:40:02.880 --> 0:40:04.800
<v Speaker 1>It's true, and it's it's the only reason I married

0:40:04.800 --> 0:40:07.480
<v Speaker 1>my wife, the only reason, and it's worked out for you.

0:40:07.719 --> 0:40:10.200
<v Speaker 1>You know. Well, I'm thinking about all my crushes in

0:40:10.280 --> 0:40:13.240
<v Speaker 1>high school or my crushes since, and they are all

0:40:13.280 --> 0:40:18.960
<v Speaker 1>wildly different. Some booties, some not booties is some athletes,

0:40:19.520 --> 0:40:25.359
<v Speaker 1>some like very quaint type girls. I don't know. I mean,

0:40:25.360 --> 0:40:27.520
<v Speaker 1>booties are great. That's a nice little checklist to have.

0:40:28.400 --> 0:40:30.359
<v Speaker 1>He said, I'm gonna be completely honest with you. Out

0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:32.879
<v Speaker 1>of respect for you. I've never even looked at your

0:40:32.880 --> 0:40:36.000
<v Speaker 1>wife's but so, uh, you know, I'm glad that you

0:40:36.000 --> 0:40:38.560
<v Speaker 1>can come on this podcast and admit that. Well. I

0:40:38.600 --> 0:40:41.080
<v Speaker 1>appreciate that. I would have no problem if you did.

0:40:41.239 --> 0:40:44.960
<v Speaker 1>But I also appreciate you, you know, respecting her for

0:40:45.000 --> 0:40:47.759
<v Speaker 1>her personality in her mind, because that's something that I

0:40:47.800 --> 0:40:51.279
<v Speaker 1>should probably do more often. It's very smart and she's

0:40:51.360 --> 0:40:53.920
<v Speaker 1>very hard working. Is that why you and I are

0:40:53.920 --> 0:40:55.439
<v Speaker 1>such good friends? You think because you like my big

0:40:55.440 --> 0:40:58.319
<v Speaker 1>old caboose it is it is. You know, I've I've

0:40:58.440 --> 0:41:00.839
<v Speaker 1>checked it out many times and you got a nice

0:41:01.280 --> 0:41:04.239
<v Speaker 1>your double cheeked off you know, and I appreciate that. Well.

0:41:04.280 --> 0:41:06.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why we're friends then, because I got

0:41:06.040 --> 0:41:10.239
<v Speaker 1>a tiny one, very flat back there. I mean, it's

0:41:10.280 --> 0:41:11.880
<v Speaker 1>come along a little bit. I've been doing more squats

0:41:11.880 --> 0:41:14.120
<v Speaker 1>over the past year. But still, you know, it's not

0:41:14.120 --> 0:41:16.319
<v Speaker 1>not anything you know right home about I see a

0:41:16.320 --> 0:41:18.239
<v Speaker 1>lot of potential. Do you want what else is not

0:41:18.280 --> 0:41:21.920

0:42:12.160 --> 0:42:14.440
<v Speaker 1>before we leave, I do think I'm gonna place a big,

0:42:14.560 --> 0:42:16.320
<v Speaker 1>big wager on the Bucks to win. I think the

0:42:16.360 --> 0:42:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Bucks are gonna win, and they're underdogs. They're like a

0:42:18.160 --> 0:42:19.960
<v Speaker 1>plus one thirty right now. Yeah, there are three and

0:42:19.960 --> 0:42:22.359
<v Speaker 1>a half points three and I think three or three

0:42:22.360 --> 0:42:24.680
<v Speaker 1>and a half point underdogs. So it's tight, but it's

0:42:24.680 --> 0:42:26.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a good game. Brady mahomes Tom and his
