Our producer Andrew will be 11 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: amazing and fix everything he can. I know, but sometimes 12 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: nature how I live in a bird house Apparently That's 13 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: what I've come to realize. So yeah, yeah, we are 14 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: in our homes um, recording via Skype, and uh, we're 15 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,559 Speaker 1: going to see how this goes. But okay, today we're 16 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: talking um about what it's like to have relationships during 17 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: this weird time that we're all going through, right, or 18 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: attempting to have relationships at exactly exactly. So oh yeah, 19 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: and just a reminder, UM, these are just lighter conversational 20 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: Monday episodes. Nothing else is changing. I just want to 21 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: add some things that we've wanted to try. So with 22 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: that being said, UM, I have heard some interesting tales 23 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: of people going on first dates still um by they'll 24 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: get in their cars and they'll order like food they'll 25 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: have they'll both have food in their cars and then 26 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: they'll crack the windows and how of a conversation that way? Okay? 27 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: So I've seen it where they've done FaceTime, which like 28 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: how you and I are doing Skype right now, and 29 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: order each other's food for them so they can say 30 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: they paid for the other person and then eat together 31 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 1: on Skype. And I will say not that it has 32 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: it is a relationship. But I have currently a group 33 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: of friends who we've decided we would have go to 34 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: meeting app on the entire day while we're working, okay, 35 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: so we can pretend like we're with each other, but 36 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: not with each other. So I've seen that kind of 37 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: same aspect for dating, which I find fascinating. Yeah, I 38 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: do too. And as I briefly mentioned in our last 39 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: Monday many, UM, I have a friend who sort of 40 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: just checked out tender to see what was going on. 41 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: Um and just f y, I I'm sure I really 42 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: don't need to say this, but health officials really recommend 43 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 1: not going on first dates right now, like face to 44 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: face or any kind of touch. But she was just 45 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: curious us and looking through it, and um, I am 46 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: impressed with the dedication and creativity people are showing and 47 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: being socially distanced but still continuing to date. This is 48 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: like the new age of courtship where you have to 49 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: learn to know each other first before any physical contact. 50 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: It could be a good thing, I guess potentially potentially. 51 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And as as a part of this conversation, 52 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: please listeners write in any anything that you're doing, oh yes, 53 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: what your experiences have been. I would love to implement, 54 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: like if you feel comfortable sharing a video, a video clip, 55 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: an audio clip, and we could use it in these 56 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: future Monday many's because I have really enjoyed hearing people's 57 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: stories about how they're trying to have normal life. Also, 58 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: I know people who live alone. This is one of 59 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: the worst situations for them. Because even though this is 60 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,839 Speaker 1: kind of nice and I get to see your face, yeah, 61 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: I'm having this like star crazy moment of like I 62 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: just once someone near me as we're drinking together and 63 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: talking about whatever situation. And I am fortunate enough that 64 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: I live very pretty much live with a partnering is 65 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: we're just neighbors at the same time, so it works out. 66 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: But at the same time, from most people, they don't 67 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: have that that if you own a home, I can't remember. 68 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: I can't imagine in the Subarbia areas what's going on? 69 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: Yeah and yeah for uh, I guess context. Um, I 70 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: live alone. So and I'm also somebody who thrives on 71 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: social interaction. So this has been a learning experience for me. 72 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: I'm learning a lot about myself. I'm a great conversationalist 73 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: and very stubborn, and I'm not on speaking terms with 74 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: myself right now. I'll deal with that later. So back 75 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: to the dating thing. Yes, another thing we've heard rumors 76 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: of that there's going to be a boom from this, 77 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: a baby boom because people are stuck inside, perhaps with 78 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: their partner, you know, why not have sex. I think 79 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: that's that generation they were talking about, naming it the 80 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: COVID boomers. Yeah, oh my gosh, A way to be remembered, huh. 81 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: I mean the Depression era kind of brought that on 82 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: as well, which is why the baby boomers happened. Has 83 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: been taken Sorry y'all, it's true, we're gonna have to 84 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: come up with our own thing. Well, I'm not involved 85 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: in this at all, but whoever is this? Baby town 86 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: is shut Baby town shut down. And then I've also 87 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: heard a lot of stories of x is slipping into 88 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: the d m s, like as you told me about Samantha. Yes, 89 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: I'm quite proud of the fact that you understand this 90 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: so well. I learned a lot from you. Um, I 91 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: have you had this happened? No, I don't. I can't 92 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: say that too much because most of my exes are married. 93 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: So because I'm at that age where all of them 94 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: the married or divorced. None of them i've heard or 95 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: divorce I don't know yet, but maybe whatever. So they're 96 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: happily married, I'm gonna assume. I'm going to give them 97 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: that benefit of doubt. So yeah, No, no one's slipping 98 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: into my d M. I'm not really getting slipping into 99 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: my d ms, but I am getting Um is it 100 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: called deep liking, like like a ton of pictures from 101 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: years ago. I feel like that was happening to you 102 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: from jump, not to this extent. I'm kind of like, WHOA, 103 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if you're just noticing it now more because 104 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: you're actually aware of your social media and on it 105 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: so much more. That's that's fair. That's a fair point saying. Yeah, 106 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: So with the exs and as I was talking about 107 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: the no one's really divorced from when I'm from what 108 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: I understand, I wonder what's going on with the divorce rate. 109 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: And as well as are people okay, are you guys okay, 110 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: are all the couples okay? I have her It a 111 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: lot of jokes around like this is going to end 112 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: in divorce or murder. Um, And right now they're jokes. 113 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: But and I've heard that probably the divorce rate will 114 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: go up. It's going to be interesting once fingers crossed 115 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: we get to the other side of this, if that 116 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: is the case. Um. And I was telling Samantha that 117 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: I have a friend who literally the day before Atlanta 118 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: like completely shut down. He and his wife decided to 119 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: get divorced. And now they are quarantined together in the 120 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: same house. So I can't I can't even imagine, right, 121 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, And you know, there's no real end point, 122 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: Like I feel like, if at least there was until 123 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: this state, we can make it to this state. But 124 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: there really isn't one right now, So there's no end 125 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: date no matter what you've heard. Please pay attention to 126 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: scientists and doctors more than anything else. That I'm going 127 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: to leave that, But I find it interesting because we 128 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: all so I talked about before and our first mini 129 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: episode that wasn't really mini. What is the fact that 130 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: how does it affect the women who are part of 131 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: the household in a heterosexual couple or assist couple relationship. 132 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: What is happening with childcare? What is happening as both 133 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: of you, I would assume are quarantined together if you 134 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: have children, who as taking all the responsibility of that 135 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: as well? It's cleaning as well, it's cooking, like what 136 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: is happening on that level? And so you wonder if 137 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: this is going to impact and an off show and 138 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: very obvious breakdown of who is responsible for the household absolutely, um, yeah, 139 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: that's gonna be interesting too to see how that shakes out. 140 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: And then something else we we touched on and our 141 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: first mini episode was domestic violence. Because home is not 142 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: a safe place for everybody, and asking people to just 143 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: stay home is sometimes dangerous, especially in the cases of 144 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: domestic abuse. Survivors and on top of that, there's the 145 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: threat of being kicked out being used against them UM, 146 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: and some fear that going to shelters might expose them 147 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: to COVID nineteen, are exposed the survivors to COVID nineteen, 148 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: or that the shelters are closed, to the assumption that 149 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: they're closed, so people aren't seeking help. UM. I read 150 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: several articles about how shelters are getting their remain their 151 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: remaining open, but they're getting less calls than ever, and 152 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: they suspect this because people think that they're closed. And 153 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: just as a reminder, a typical tactic, fear tactic within 154 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: abusive relationship is using whatever the crisis that is occurring, 155 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: and is no different for pandemics obviously, and any type 156 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: of this, especially on this level, especially if you have children, 157 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: there's this whole array of oh my god, what do 158 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: I do? And I had actually spoken to an old 159 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: coworker of mine UM in which my old job was 160 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: to place kids away from detention centers to treatment centers, 161 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: and I was asking, how are they handling that, what's happening, 162 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: what's happening with the detention centers, what's happening with the 163 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: shelters and the shutdown is not affecting them completely because 164 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: they are essential, but it has downgraded greatly, and the 165 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: risk for these kids, and again with the families or 166 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: with women and the children and shelters are so much 167 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: higher because of the in and out, in and out, 168 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: in and out consistently happening, and no one really considering 169 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: what's happening with that and how to solve and or 170 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: implement good practices to prevent spreading. So it's kind of 171 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: a whole level of Holy what are we supposed to do? Absolutely? Um, 172 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: And I'm concerned that it's one of those things that 173 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: will be forgotten in all of this so um. And 174 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: we know that the hopefully I think we try to 175 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: add this bit last time, but the fact that they're 176 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: sinner and the House are trying to come together on 177 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: inter monetary interventions, economic interventions, it still doesn't look lovely. Um. 178 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: I feel like there's a lot of compromise I shouldn't 179 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: have happened. There's a lot of political gains. And again 180 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: this is my own personal opinion, so I will leave 181 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: it at that. But it is needed, it is needed greatly, 182 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: and we need to talk about the fact that trillions 183 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: are in conversation, and who's getting a bulk of those trillions? 184 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 1: And is it helping women in a family, is it 185 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: helping those in the lgbt Q I who are often forgotten? 186 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: Is it helping young children who are at risk? Mm 187 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: hmm yeah. Yeah. And and I mean if you because 188 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: we are all in well not all of us, a 189 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:52,599 Speaker 1: lot of us are in financially uncertain situations right now. Um. 190 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: And if you are an abusive relationship and you're depending 191 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: on money in some way, like we've talked about financial 192 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: several times, that's another part of this conversation that we 193 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: should not forget. Right with that being said, um, we 194 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: did want to talk about some tips, some lighter things 195 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: if you if you're experiencing strain in your relationship being 196 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 1: quarantined together. I've heard inventing another person to blame things on, 197 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: like oh, Cecilia didn't do the dishes again, Uh, Cecilia. Um, 198 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,599 Speaker 1: I've done that and I'm alone, So I find it 199 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: a little helpful. Yeah. I feel like if I did 200 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: that in my relationship, I would be pretty much blaming 201 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: that person, but just giving him a new name and 202 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: just be giving them a pointed looking like you are Cecilia. 203 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: You are Cecilia. Now apologies to all Cecilia's. That's just 204 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: an example. I've heard a lot as best you can 205 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: establishing your own space, especially if you're both working from home, 206 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: like having if possible, separate workspaces, I've heard is really 207 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: helpful and that just makes sense to me. Um, and 208 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: then I really we got to share these New York guidelines. 209 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: So New York released an actual document sex guidelines. So 210 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: one of my favorite section reads, you are your safest 211 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: sex partner. Masturbation will not spread COVID nineteen, especially if 212 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: you wash your hands and any sex toys with soap 213 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: and water for at least twenty seconds before and after. 214 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: And then and you know what we just talked about recently, 215 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: not to say because there's a lot of conversations when 216 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: you talk about with born and all of that, because 217 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: that it can be bad, it can be good. But 218 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 1: porn hub has jumped in and saying we're going to 219 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: give three subscriptions as giveaway masks, which they had some 220 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: masks to give to the medicals. The whole thing else 221 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: there's a whole other conversation to that, as well as 222 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: the fact that there's several companies who are deeply discounting 223 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: their sex toys, which hey, I definitely put my name 224 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: on those lists. The New York document continues, the next 225 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: safest partner is someone you live with. Having close contact, 226 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: including sex with a small circle of people helps prevent 227 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: spreading COVID nineteam, so keep that circle small cement. Wait 228 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: wait wait, the terms circle alone makes me think so 229 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: many things that I'm like, whoa, we just jumped in 230 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: a whole new level. And you know what, if you 231 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,359 Speaker 1: are practicing this safely and stay at home and preventing 232 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: a spread, go for it. Sure, yeah, sure, go for it. Um. 233 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: But unfortunately the document concludes outside of those two things, 234 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: no sex for you. Well, as what the UK have 235 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: now said, either you live with that person or you 236 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: don't have a relationship. It seems kind of harsh, but 237 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: maybe I guess it makes sense. It does, No, it does, 238 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: it does make sense. These are the times we're living 239 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: in now, but we will get through them together. Well, 240 00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: and we sit with that as in like we're not 241 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: gonna come to your s hold, but like we're hearing 242 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: there were audio, yes, wait for your conversations.
