Do you guys have boyfriends?

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Then why aren't you dating? It's usually one or the other. Wow,
you're like the uncle that sees them once a year.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
If you say are you dating now and the answer
is no, then I assume like, Okay, mission accomplished.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
I'm with someone.

Speaker 5 (00:39):
No, I'm just tired. Yeah, mission of.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Wish Abby was younger or Spencer was older, because Abby
and Spencer just I'm like, these two they're just two peas.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Later in life the years apart.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Don't actually I said, I said, listen, I'm gonna have
you a couple of years.

Speaker 6 (01:03):
I just know.

Speaker 5 (01:05):
But he won't be younger.

Speaker 7 (01:06):
Than he'll be the worst than a man can do
is be born after August thirtieth of nineteen ninety eight. There,
I just I just immediately, I'm like, yeah, I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Know why, because Abby's already an old soul. Do you
guys get that?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
So I see you with somebody like I don't know,
late sixties. I don't think that all she's not here.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
No, you have a girlfriend there, dumb.

Speaker 8 (01:33):
Okay, okay, So I'm glad you guys joined us again.
We have more probing questions from Andrew. Actually, you're going
to disprove or prove some facts here.

Speaker 6 (01:43):
Well, this is actually interesting because I was looking up
after our last podcast some more gen Z dating habits.
So I feel like it's fun to just ask you guys,
and you answered the first one. Already, gen Z is
dating less. Overall, only fifty six percent of gen Z
have had a romantic relationship by adulthood. And that's according
to YEAHO Finance. And sixty percent of gen Z says

(02:03):
they're not ready for a relationship, and that's according to Forbes.
And furthermore, seventy five percent of gen Z are single
right now now.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Is that because they're too busy making the appointments?

Speaker 5 (02:13):
Probably disappointment, We can't That was direct.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
We call her out.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yes, okay, just what.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
Steff run with it because she said yeah you You
immediately jumped in and said yes, yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:30):
I think that's why I'm not dating anyone is because
like people are only looking for that, and it's like
this is childish.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, just a lot of work.

Speaker 5 (02:39):
I mean, I have a lot of friends that aren't.
It's not because they're hooking up with anyone. It's just
everyone's tired. It's not it's it's it's it's burnout.

Speaker 8 (02:47):
Yeah, it's a lot of work for general malaise on
dating that is very.

Speaker 7 (02:51):
And yeah, I don't really have any friends that are
in relationship. I have maybe like a couple of friends
in relationships.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Okay, do you want of a relationship? We'll go for
you first.

Speaker 7 (03:00):
It's something where if it comes to me naturally, I
would be open to it, but I'm not necessarily going
on and seeking one.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Okay, this is my son. I swear to gosh, guys,
it's so crazy. He says the same thing.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yeah, because it's h.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Question, you staph. Do you want a relationship?

Speaker 9 (03:16):
It's concld I do, but I want to wait until
after I get on Big Brother so that it's like easier.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
You are.

Speaker 8 (03:28):
Okay, a second follow upould you feel each of you
like you're missing out not being in a relationship.

Speaker 7 (03:34):
I used to feel that way because I felt like
I was kind of the only one that never had
any romantic or connections in high school or anything, and
then I went to college and met a lot of
friends in the same boat, and I was just.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
Like, oh, this is this is normal for some people.
It's fine. And then there was a period of time
where I was trying to date and it was just
it's all horrible. It was not fun, it was not
how I wanted to spend my time.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
So yeah, because I mean, you're twenty, fuss you're eight,
Like Daniel was already on fortieth boyfriend by that point.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Oh yeah, forget it.

Speaker 5 (04:10):
You know, I've never really been in a relationship, which
is crazy. That's true for like my entire friend group.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
But right, you've dated, like casually a couple.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
Yeah, I've tried, yeah, but it just hasn't worked out.

Speaker 8 (04:22):
Steph, same question, like, you do you feel like you're
missing out not being in a relationship.

Speaker 9 (04:28):
No, not currently, but like I've dated in the past
and it was fine. It's just I feel now I'm
so independent that I'm afraid it's going to hold me back,
and like, how do I group them into this two?

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Oh my goodness, just comparing myself, step how soon do
you tell someone that you might like that your main
goal in life is to be on Big Brother immediately.

Speaker 9 (04:50):
It depends low key. If I like don't like them,
and I sense that they want to, like go out
on a date with me, I'll like use.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
It right away.

Speaker 9 (04:56):
So if they don't really want to, but other than that,
like I won't tell them. Told maybe like the third day,
but haven't gotten there yet.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
So I feel like that's something you could introduce.

Speaker 9 (05:09):
Really because I'm like reality people are like crazy, so
then they'll think I'm crazy, which I am, but.

Speaker 8 (05:14):
I wouldn't let that cat out of the back right Andrew,
what other facts.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
You got there?

Speaker 6 (05:18):
Rising costs mean gen Z are spending less or avoiding
dating altogether, which I thought was interesting. And fifty one
percent of gen Z seeks a relationship mainly to avoid
loneliness versus twenty six percent of older generations. Many of
gen Z went deeper connections but struggle with communication skills,
and that also may be due to only twenty three
percent of gen Z meeting their partners offline.

Speaker 8 (05:42):
Okay, okay, so a question for the both of you,
and if I'm overstepping any bounds, please tell me to stop.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
The last date you had, how did you meet the person?

Speaker 9 (05:53):
Hinge Mine was a mutual friend through a friend.

Speaker 8 (05:57):
Yeah, in person first, which I mean, did you compare
notes on this? Like how many dates with the guy
from Hinge?

Speaker 7 (06:04):
The person from we dated for two months months, so
I don't really know, but a decent amount.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
We're seeing each other. It was exclusive towards the end.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
But then wow, very quickly became over your longest relationship
too much?

Speaker 8 (06:19):
I think, Wow, okay, and then Steph friend of a friend, Yes,
how long did that last one date?

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Because the big brother thing?

Speaker 8 (06:33):
Why?

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Why?

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Why did it end right there?

Speaker 9 (06:36):
I don't really know, but now that I'm thinking about it,
I did say to him like, oh, you went to
this school do you know?

Speaker 5 (06:42):
Blah blah blah, and he's like, yeah, that's my ex
girl friend.

Speaker 9 (06:44):
So I think he was scared, but like that should
have stopped him.

Speaker 8 (06:47):
Okay, okay, Well I'm going to open this up. And
because it doesn't sound like you're very successful, not to
not to say.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
No, it's true.

Speaker 8 (06:57):
Danielle is married, happily married. Yes, Uh, Garrett is happily married,
he's got two kids.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Scottie is something.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
With scott married.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Relationship. Uh has had.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
A getting married ship, a very healthy relationship that's very
I wouldn't come to me for advice, but feel free
to ask the four of them if you have any questions.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
Thank you guys.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
So there's no questions.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
I don't really think, so I don't know.

Speaker 9 (07:28):
I don't know, like sort of yeah, Like it's always like, oh,
you'll know when they're the one, Like, what do you
mean you'll know?

Speaker 5 (07:35):
What did you know?

Speaker 2 (07:37):
I'll be honest with you. So when I met Sheldon,
I was not looking for anything. I had just gotten
out of a relationship. I was dating around, I was
having a grand old time. It was fantastic. Elvis met Sheldon,
and Elvis wanted to date him, but Sheldon wasn't gay.
He found out at the end of the evening. And
Elvis is the one who said I met somebody for you,
and I was like, oh, godless, I don't want to

(07:58):
meet anybody. And for some reason, he was wearing a
wedding band on a chain when when we went out,
and at first I thought, oh, was he trying to
hide the fact that he was married, but it was
actually his grandmother's wedding band. And then I had my
grandmother's wedding band in my wallet, and that connection was
the first thing that in my head, I was like, huh,

(08:18):
And I don't know. For some reason, I just kind
of knew this is the guy like he just it's
the weirdest thing. And I feel like it is so
true when you are not looking for it is when
it happens. You just gotta let it happen naturally, and
it is what it is, and you can try to
avoid it, but sometimes it smacks your head. And that's
I feel like, what happens? You know, it's crazy? And

(08:41):
how many years later when we started dating in ninety seven?

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, nine years?

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yep, you've been with him. Jesus sorry, Jesus long. Well,
Steph could be my daughter. I mean, Spencer's twenty one.
Steph could be my daughter, you know. I mean, I'm
sure if I got knocked up early, you're so good, way.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Why would you only hook your son up with Abby
and not Steph?

Speaker 2 (09:04):
So step so okay, I it doesn't matter, though, I'm
not sure the big brother thing would go down with Spencer. See,
Spencer is an old soul like Abby is. And when
I see Abby post things and when she says things
to me, and Abby and I have conversations, and then Spencer,
I go Wow. I'm like they are very similar with
the thoughts on life. And yes, I know there's a

(09:26):
ying to the yang, but I think that Steph is
more like she wants to be on big Brother. She
wants to do that's not Spencer, abby, would you a
younger guy? Not that young? He's not even twenty one yet.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
I'm sorry, twenty one. How do you feel about Danielle
being your mother?

Speaker 5 (09:39):
And can you just like adopt me?

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (09:43):
I would truly that much of an age six years
six and a half. Okay, right yes, right now, right now.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
If she's telling people she's dating a twenty one year old,
it's kind of like you.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Ate twenty years.

Speaker 9 (09:54):
You'd be like, you got a way to get My
parents are seven years apart.

Speaker 5 (09:57):
My mom's older.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
See also, just get away to a little bit, just
give it a couple.

Speaker 5 (10:03):
It's just so it feels creepy right now. My parents
when she was forty so okay, yea.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
And no offense to step because she's adorable and I
love her, But I just think that they're very different people.
I'll give you an example. Wait, not that this is
your Steph, but yesterday, Spencer says to me, I saw
the hottest girl walking down the street. She was so cute.
I was like, Wow, maybe this is a nice girl.
Finally a nice girl. She looked at me, we smelled
at each other, and then all of a sudden, mom

(10:29):
the wind blew, her skirt went up and she had
no underwear on, and we saw everything. And Spencer right
away says, not the girl for me.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Oh my god, I'd like number.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
That's the type of girl like that's spent like that.

Speaker 5 (10:46):
Spencer is not into that.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Spencer is not the guy that wants the girl who's
walking around showing her goods to everybody. Okay, come on,
she was wearing a tiny little skirt when so come on,
you tell me she's not showing at all.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Okay, and your grandma tell you to air it out, okay, at.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Home, at home at the end of the day. But
that's Spencer, Spencer, that's not love.

Speaker 7 (11:10):
That stuff reminded you of No No, And I said
in the beginning, that's not Steph.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
But what I'm saying is that's not the type of
girl that Spencer will be dating.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Spencer, we gotta have a talk.

Speaker 5 (11:23):
You know, some of his friends would love that girl.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
He's not like that.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Daniel, you have another son.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
He's not like that.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
You have another son though.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
For Steph Preston, Yeah, he's only he's seventeen.

Speaker 9 (11:37):
I know some of his friends from home and they're
so young.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Preston. Yeah, go o oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
When when Preston told your husband Sheldon that story was
he I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
When Spencer told you that story, was Sheldon like, that's
my boy?

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Sheldon goes and what was the problem, Sheldon, give me
your number, honey. Spencer is not that type of guy.

Speaker 9 (12:09):
That's not Here's another difference. I would never tell my
mom if I saw anyone cute like. I don't think
she knows I've kissed anyone.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Really, Yeah, no, we haven't.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
As pure as the driven snow, pure as.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
The driven snow.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
He just doesn't. He just doesn't think if you're out
there with no underwear on, with a skirt that short
and it blows up and everyone can see your goods,
that's not the type of girl he wants to be with.

Speaker 6 (12:37):
Maybe it's just like a British dolly.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
That's what he says.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
It was the last time you went commando. It's been years,
but What does that have to do with anything.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Skirt that's short and you don't have underwear on, you're
hoping for a breeze. I don't want to hear it.
I don't want to hear it.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Okay, you've given us all a lot to think. Thank
you so much for coming into Dynamic Duo.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
