But they're just 30 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: kind of people that kind of you don't really have 31 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: the wherewithal to do anything about it, and then they 32 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: just suddenly it's been forty years. 33 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, you've had fused on barnicle the whole time. 34 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 1: Suddenly you've suddenly you've been on the same radio show 35 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: as that. 36 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 4: That's because you go out and I do this. I'll 37 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 4: go out to dinner with my wife and I just 38 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 4: love listening to other couples have a conversation, and my 39 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 4: wife always says, oh, that's us there, the couple that 40 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,639 Speaker 4: don't say anything to each other. I said, well, that's 41 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 4: not true. So I actually almost go in with this 42 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 4: huge like I take little que cards so able to 43 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 4: do your wife an interview my wife and then when 44 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 4: she gets off the phone from scrolling through it, we 45 00:01:59,000 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 4: can have a conversation. 46 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 3: But you do this, don't you with your partner. 47 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's like I think it's a very important 48 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: part to a relationship because it kind of it also 49 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: shows you where you are like in the spectrum of things, 50 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: because I think if you go to a nice restaurant 51 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: and you are talking to each other a lot, it 52 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: means that you're probably quite new where, and you like 53 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: it's the ones that are just sitting there in dead silence. 54 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: You're like, oh, these are these are they know everything 55 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: about each other and they don't care to know anything 56 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: else and so so yeah, so we just eaves drop 57 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: on other people. I think it's important, like because you 58 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: get to just see how worse it could be because 59 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: you just hear people really ruin their relationships at other restaurants. 60 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: I love it. I love a hushed argument at a restaurant. 61 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: Oh you know what I mean.

There's usually one of 85 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: us on a show. And so we put together this great, 86 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: incredible lineup and it was the easy thing for me. 87 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: I just had to come out and bring people out 88 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: and it was lovely. 89 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 4: Oh so that's a sweet gig.
