1
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: So I've been posting on TikTok about dating and Instagram

2
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: just dating advice. I wrote a book years ago called

3
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: I Suckut Relationships so you don't have to. I've talked

4
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: on this podcast about the fact that I've been extremely

5
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: successful in dating. I mean as good as anybody, as

6
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: good as I'll take you, like I've said before, as

7
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: good as anybody no matter what they look like. I'm

8
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: not on TikTok talking about how to be successful relationships.

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: People would cancel their accounts. I'm talking about dating. And

10
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: one thing that I've noticed is that men want to

11
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: be pen pals, like they want to get you in

12
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: the stable and just like chat. Meaning if they didn't

13
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: like you, they wouldn't want to keep talking, right, they

14
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: would just like ice you out, But they want to chat,

15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: and You're like, dude, get a fucking plan on the board.

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm like a feather plume pen that I'm like writing

17
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: you my deepest thoughts, Like that's not getting to know someone.

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: And also, if you don't FaceTime somebody that you are

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 1: thinking about dating and meeting in person, you're an idiot,

20
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: You're a dinosaur, You're Fred Flintstone, you're starting the car

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: at the bottom of your feet, Like there's no way

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: you must FaceTime someone. Someone during the pandemic when I

23
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: was single, told me that they were doing a lot

24
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: of FaceTime dates and I was like, what it sounded

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: crazy and creepy and weird because it is awkward, Like

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: it's FaceTime.

27
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: You sound like a weird corporate dater. But guess what it.

28
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: Will save you So much time, so much money, so

29
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: much effort, so much lashes and the way he looks

30
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: you could love text or someone you could love their photos,

31
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: then they're gonna be like it's made up for a drink.

32
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: You don't know.

33
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: FaceTime is close to real. You could get a sense

34
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: of what they look like. People lie about their height,

35
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: people lie about their age. People don't know what they

36
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: look like. People's photos are just outdated, Like we need

37
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: a date on photos and there needs to be a

38
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: binding agreement on whether or not they've been edited. I mean,

39
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: because you could see men who have like good lighting

40
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: in their photos. And I just want to say that

41
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: there are things that women should swipe no on. And

42
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: what they are is a beer glasses on a strap

43
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: attached to your head or on top of your baseball hat.

44
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: Making out with your dog.

45
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: Any woman in any picture could be your daughter, could

46
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: be your mother, could be your sister, your neighbor. You

47
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: don't need a fucking woman in your picture, and you

48
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: also don't need a weird smiley face emoji after your children.

49
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: What is it nineteen seventy two? You're using a Kodak

50
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: and going to fucking rex Al to get it developed.

51
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: Get your fucking phone aut Take a picture without another

52
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: body emoji?

53
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 2: What are you in a Cheerios.

54
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: Ad with a like a like a stick figure in

55
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: your picture? Fucking are you a grown up? If you're

56
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: wearing a tank top, ladies, goodbye. If someone has a

57
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: Hawaiian shirt and they're living on sponge cake, goodbye. If

58
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: someone needs to tell you, as one of their main

59
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: personality traits who their sports team is that they like

60
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: they're sucking their thumb, they're still on their mom's teeth. Okay,

61
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: give them a bottle and a pacifier and say no,

62
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. Men in Hawaiian shirts living on sponge cake

63
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: telling you about their sports teams. Also, working out is

64
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: not a personality. It's something that you do. People don't

65
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: need to like work out heavily five days a week,

66
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: often find me at the gym. It's not a personality.

67
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: It's a thing you do as much as we being.

68
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: Like I like to consume copious amounts of alcohol, Like,

69
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: it's something that we do. I don't need to like

70
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: define it as my brother. Oh, I'm a cough lover

71
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: of cocktails. Okay, what does that mean? Are you a sociopath?

72
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: Are you a kind person? Are you charitable because you

73
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: drink cocktails?

74
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: Weirdo? It doesn't things that you do are not your

75
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: whole personality.

76
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: Lover of iguayamlet or like anything strange like that. If

77
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: someone's wearing something weird or has a weird background, or

78
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: weird cabinetry or a bizarre like old hammock, or something

79
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: seems dirty, or they're sitting on some weird cheap plastic

80
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: outdoor chair in a blow up pool.

81
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: Get the fuck out of there.

82
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: That's not Go to your neighbor and sleep with him

83
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: because he's gonna You don't need to go hunt for that.

84
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: People are really dating down. Women just date down period.

85
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: You have to be able to love yourself first, because

86
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: if you're dating down, it means that you're not even

87
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: at the baseline of liking yourself.

88
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: You're dating down.

89
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: You think so lowly of yourself that you'll date someone

90
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: who you know in your heart, mind, body, and soul

91
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: is beneath you in some way. They're not kind, they're

92
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: not honest, they're not attractive, they're disloyal, they are not smart,

93
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: whatever your thing is. So if you're gonna date down,

94
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: it's not to get with yourself, be alone and develop

95
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: a good relationship with yourself, because you cannot have a

96
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: good relationship with someone else without one by yourself. Nobody

97
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: gets out without paying the bill. Nobody can cheat. It's

98
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: just the way it is. There's no such a thing

99
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: as a free lunch. You cannot be a fragmented, fractured

100
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: person and walk into a relationship and expect to bring

101
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: something to the table.

102
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: Then you're gonna have.

103
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: A relationship that your part. Let's say a relationship, it's

104
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: supposed to be one hundred percent. If you come in

105
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: it not at full tilt. Say you come in at

106
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: twenty five percent, your whole relationship is at seventy five percent.

107
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: It won't succeed.

108
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: So you got to come in at fifty percent at

109
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: least to go meet the other person halfway. Young women

110
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: are not speaking to their aunts and mothers and women

111
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: who have experience of marriage. So everywhere you go, young women,

112
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: they want the ring, they want the dress, they want

113
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: the honeymoon, they want the whole fairy tale. Okay, they're

114
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: being marketed the fairy tale. It's a multi billion, gazillion

115
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: dollar business. Every wedding has three days to it, seventy

116
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: five outfits, ninety two capturings, a complete Fellini and Scorsesey

117
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: production of the engagement and everything.

118
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: Okay, great, fifty five year old women. Everyone. I was

119
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: with a woman last night.

120
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: She's like, if I ever got divorced or my husband

121
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: passed away, I would never get married again. I have

122
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: five friends all saying the exact same thing. Pretty, they've

123
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: got game, they have good men, et cetera. They're all like,

124
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: who fucking needs it now? I'm not against marriage. And

125
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: some people have magical relationships that they're.

126
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 2: Really in love. Some people have one love that's their husband.

127
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: If anything happens, they did it, they did it once,

128
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: they don't need to do it again. A million reasons,

129
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: because relationship does take sacrifice. But it's fine for young

130
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: women to want to get married to want to have

131
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: kids in their lives. Of course, what's not fine is

132
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: them to rush to get the ring because everybody their

133
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: age is getting the ring and getting the wedding, and

134
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: they're comparing themselves to others, and at twenty eight they

135
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: think they're like spinsters. And the reason that's not okay

136
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: is because they're gonna often present themselves to something they're not.

137
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: Like people sell who they want the guy.

138
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: They think the guy wants to get the guy. Then

139
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: you get the guy, then you get married. Later on

140
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: you become not who you said you were. The guy's

141
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: gonna have a problem with that. Then your kids get

142
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: to be My daughter's age fourteen, and you're like, what

143
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: the hell is my purpose? Because me, I have a

144
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: pretty massive career and relief effort and a lot going on.

145
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: And in the mornings, I'm sitting there in pajamas waiting

146
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: for Brent to wake up on the weekends so I

147
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: can go in hug her, love her, tell her how

148
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: much I love her, and wait for her to, you know,

149
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: kindly say to me, can you get the fuck out

150
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: of my room?

151
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: And not those words, because she's a doll and I

152
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: live for my kid.

153
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: But I'm saying, and then I'm like, oh wait, I

154
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: waited for hours, like scraps, like a dog, just for

155
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: her to like say hi, I love you and then

156
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: get into her own day of lashes and tiktoks and volleyball.

157
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: So you got to have your own thing. And women

158
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: are just trying to get the guy and they're not thinking.

159
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: They're playing checkers. Because you get to a certain age,

160
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: you're like, all right, I did that.

161
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: I did that. I have no money on my own,

162
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: I don't have a skill set.

163
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm bored. My daughter's older, my son's older. I'm gonna

164
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: be a hockey mom, but that only takes up so

165
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: many hours. I'm gonna sow the costumes, I'm gonna go

166
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: to Pta. All of this is admirable, but is it enough.

167
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: It has to be enough for you. If you have

168
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: five kids, you're gonna be very busy. If you have

169
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: one kid, it might not be enough. You have to

170
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: determine for yourself. But mothers, you got to talk to

171
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: these daughters. Someone's got to be talking to these daughters

172
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: because these daughters are rushing. Some people, you know, know

173
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: that they can't wrap their kids in bubble rep and

174
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna make those mistakes. Some people know that it

175
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: might be a starter marriage. I mean that happens too.

176
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: We cannot wrap our kids in bubble rep and expect

177
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: that they're going to not get any black marks on

178
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: the new white sneakers.

179
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: They're gonna make mistakes. We made them.

180
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I've made some colossal, fucking mistakes too big

181
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: that I don't want her to make ones that big.

182
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: Like we can help other people. That's the reason for

183
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: my divorce YouTube series. So you don't make the same

184
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: mistakes I did. But yeah, those two generations are not speaking.

185
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: The twenties and thirties are speaking. I guess maybe the

186
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: thirties and forties. Twenties and fifties need to be speaking.

187
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: They're not speaking because the fifties will tell the twenties bitch.

188
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: Hold up, Hold up with the not getting a prenup

189
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: and being all like Doe iied and thinking for the

190
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: rest of your life, you're gonna.

191
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: Be playing house. What are you ordering in tonight?

192
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: Oh my god, yay, we got any red maker that

193
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: is like the new car smell that will not last forever,

194
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: the honeymoon glow once you get into baby vomit and

195
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: diarrhea and breastfeeding and potty training and financial despair and

196
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: losing jobs and relocating and moving and cardboard boxes and

197
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: saggy titties and sex record bras and a rectile dysfunction

198
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: and not being able to get pregnant and injecting yourself

199
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: with hormones. Shit gets real, real fast,
