brand new residency studio Sessions Live in the Coliseum at
Secret Palace on August first. Text Stronger to three seven

(00:24):
Vegas and round Trip Bearfair. A confirmation text that we
sent standard message of data rates supply all thanks to
the Live Nation. I mean, this is kind of an
obscure one, but I'm just curious because I saw this
this morning. Have any of you or has anyone do
you have a friend that you've never met, like a friend,
like someone that you either like In this case, this
(00:45):
is the thing I saw this morning.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
It's on Reddit.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
It was a picture of a man and a woman
together and it said met my internet friend today for
the first time. We started chatting online in two thousand
and one when we were both sixteen, so that's what
twenty four years ago. Four years ago. They started chatting online.
They never met. They kept in touch for twenty four
years wow, and they went to an Iron Maiden concert together.
(01:08):
I guess they're Iron Maiden fans. Well, like, I don't know,
is it is it? Maybe some when you talk to
like another branch of your office you've talked to you
for a long time, never seen, which I guess in
this day and age is hard to do. People can
FaceTime or you know whatever, but video chat all all
the different zoom meetings and whatever else. But like, I
(01:29):
don't know, have you ever chatted with someone played video games?
You ever had a pen pal?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I'd made friends on Instagram, but then I've ended up
meeting them like a year or so later.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
But did you meet them that DM you? They listened
to the show they DM you?
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yeah, yeah, I think so.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
And just over time, like realized we had similar interests
and I don't know, I felt like I could trust
her and then we met up in person and ended
up being a great friend.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
She was an ex murderer. Yeah it's a shame.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah yeah, but you still visit her in prison right now?
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Now?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
That your friends, Well, if she was an ex murderer,
wouldn't I not be alive to tell the tale?
Speaker 6 (02:04):
Well?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I think unfortunately, she wasn't able.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
To get to you, she spared me.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yeah, yeah, because you were friends.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Well that's why you meet in public always.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I agree, But like, is it one of those things.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Is it like between glass when you go to see her,
or is it like across the table. Are you able
to like, you know, sit physically, or is it is
it like a video chat on the phone.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I's like when you go to.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
See her, you know, I usually bake a cake, put
some treats in there for her. Oh it's always her
birthday speak stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but none of you don't because I mean,
this is crazy like to keep it, I mean, especially now.
And I don't know if these people live in you know,
wildly different parts of the world or something like, you know,
really crazy extreme distance. But I mean, I just think
it's it's amazing to think that people have been able
to keep in touch for this period of time and
never meet.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Granted, when you're sixteen, you meet someone on a video game,
you don't have any money. You know, you're not probably
not thinking like, oh, I'm gonna be talking to this
person in twenty five years. But I just I wonder
if this has ever happened to anybody that's a really
long time.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
It has definitely happened.
Speaker 8 (03:05):
I feel like now like we did the tour and
that's when I met a lot of the thirteen that
we've been friends for over the last two years that
I've been here, and then you finally get to put
a face to the name. But it's a few that
I haven't. Like there's this one friend online named c Style.
All I know is her Instagram handle. I don't know
her real name, Lady Lyftdriver. I don't know her real name.
(03:25):
My friend my friends, so it's like, yeah, like, and
I know those people ride for me on social media,
ride for all of us on social media. But it's
like I've never met them in real life, but I
consider them friends.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, yeah, I mean radio people that I've chatted with
for years and years and years and never.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Met in person. Yeah, that's true. But I mean I
don't know if they're friends. Some of them are.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
There are people that I see very very rarely, but
I know when I see them, I know what's going
on in their lives. Because of Facebook. That's the only
reason I still have Facebook's I can quickly scroll through
and I can get the birthdays I can hit the
birthdays quickly, right, and then because that's important, I rarely
will message them on Facebook. I'll cheat and I'll go
to Facebook to see if it's the birthday, and then
I'll text them, and then people are like, how did
(04:08):
you remember?
Speaker 9 (04:09):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I'm on top of it, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
But then there's other other people that like, I'll catch
up with them after years, and I already know all
the things they are telling me because I's owed on Facebook,
but I know them, like, I can't think of anyone
who I've been quote unquote friends with for you know,
years and never actually like met Hey, Alyssa, you have
an internet friend?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Really?
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Multiple? Okay? Are you a gamer?
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Like?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
How does this come about you?
Speaker 7 (04:37):
No?
Speaker 10 (04:37):
In like twenty seventeen, I was at a friend's house
and used her PlayStation to play a game just once,
and I met people who I really liked, and we
ended up following each other on social media and we
talked pretty often, and they gave me tips on how
to do my hair or makeup. And I've never met them.
They live in an entirely different state.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Now, what prevents you from just I was gonna say,
bags fly free on Southwest but they don't anymore. So,
I mean prevents you have it on a spirit and
you know, ducking from you know, ducking for cover from
the you know fights in wrestling that happen on spirit
sometimes and just going to see these people like it's
it's you know, modern air travel is amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (05:14):
Never genuinely have never thought about it. I think I'm
just okay with them being my phone ferns. And I
think it's really common for like people in gen Z
to have these friends that they've never met that they
used or met through social seek media or other like gaming.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Okay, yeah, I mean it's kind of crazy. I think
eventually that my curiosity would get the best of me.
I'd want to meet the people, like I'd want to
see that they're real. But I don't know, maybe it's
boundaried and doesn't really matter.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
I believe them.
Speaker 10 (05:43):
I choose to believe and hope to not get catfished.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, okay, thank you, Lizen, have a good day. Problem.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
This is is a random story, but I I growing up,
I had a family member who I don't think they
do I don't know what they do anymore, but like
this person had like a receptionist for their office, but
the receptionist worked in like another office, and you hired
this company to answer the phone for you, but they
like weren't in the same.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Office as you.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Oh yeah, so like this so one day and so
I would call this person regularly and the same person
would answer the phone. Never saw this person ever talk
to them. They were in the same city, but like
they worked in a different office, and then they would
transfer the call or whatever every day for years. This woman,
I can't remember her name. And one day I'm in
a doctor's office and my sister's there and my mom's
(06:32):
there's a therapist. My parents are getting divorced, and I
hear this woman talking behind the desk and it's her.
It's the woman who's been answering the phone for years
and years and years and years. And like I was
a kid, so it was always oh hi, Christopher, this
whole thing and my sister. I was watching my sister
for a period of time and she was kind of
acting up and this woman stands it from the desk
and starts screaming at us to like be quiet, and
(06:53):
I like, she didn't obviously know that, like this little
boy who's like birthday, she celebrated and all this stuff
like we'd never seen each other. She had no idea.
We were just disrupting her like work, I guess. And
I wanted to be like, hey, Karen, it's me. You know,
I'm the kid who's been calling and talk to so
and so for you know, years and years, but I
didn't have the heart to do it. But for some reason,
(07:14):
I think about that story all the time because I
was like, because this is back before you would have
any way of knowing what these people look and I
had no idea who this person was. It was just
you call every day and you talked to it. Hey
can I talk to so and so?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Sure, hold on every single day you make that call
and it's like, here's this person. And then she screamed
at me. So it really hurt my feelings and upset me.
But it's funny. It is like a few hours later
I called talked to this person, and there's a lady, Okay,
I got something to talk to you. And I'm like,
it wasn't two hours ago screaming at me. And I
know if I'd said something to her like hey, I
(07:47):
think I know you, I'm so and so, and I
would have changed everything. But whatever, Holly, Hi, Holly, Hey.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Hi, it's Holly.
Speaker 11 (07:57):
Holly.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Shit, guys, it's Holly. This is exciting. I'm waiting for you.
You have an.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Internet friend through gaming and you've never met this person.
What's the story?
Speaker 12 (08:10):
Correct? So I've been playing this game, it's called the
Old School Rooms game. I played it on and off
for about fifteen years. And I hate so many like
internet friends that you mentioned. I have a friend in
Arizona in the UK, and it's just like a great
like bond that we have.
Speaker 13 (08:26):
With the game.
Speaker 12 (08:27):
But you know, we all live in a different like
state or country.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Interesting, and so these these friendships, like they you're appeased
by them only going so far, like they don't need
to go much further, Like you don't need to run
and meet these folks. Like it's it's good enough the
way it is. They could be they could be anyone
doing anything, and it doesn't matter because it's just it's boundary.
Speaker 12 (08:48):
I mean, honestly, if I was, like, let's say, for example,
the friend I have in Arizona that played through the game,
if I were ever to visit, I wouldn't mind saying, hey,
let's you know, meet up because it's like a bunch
of us that are like, I'm in my mid thirties
playing this game, and you know, it's like everyone resonates
because we're in the same age rage playing this game
(09:08):
for fifteen twenty years, and it's just you know, again,
this is something that's fun.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I think sometimes like the idea of compartmentalizing a friendship
and like having it be in its own lane, its
own little like this is my friend from the game
and we talk about some stuff, but like that's the expectation,
because like, maintaining friendships as an adult can be hard,
and I think it's why adults, many adults wind up
with fewer friendships because it's a lot of work. But
now you got this sort of friend but there's no
(09:34):
real expectation and you're vibing over the game, so it's
like it's kind of a nice thing.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I don't know, Thank you, Holly Lily.
Speaker 12 (09:41):
Yeah, you don't have to talk about stress and like
all work sucks.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
It's just you gone on you play. You're like, hey,
you know, what are.
Speaker 12 (09:49):
You doing in the game, and you're just kind of
like making that own little world.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Okay? Yeah? Fair enough. All right, Well thank you, Holly,
thank you. I have a good day.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Hey Trich tred Hi Tris, So you have an internet
friend group and you're all meeting this weekend.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
That's exciting. How did you make it? What's the deal?
Speaker 9 (10:09):
We met on an online auction.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Website for what? What were you bidding on?
Speaker 7 (10:16):
I was bidding on I don't know, craft supplies.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Okay, so you're bidding on this. There's like a chat
feature in there or something.
Speaker 9 (10:24):
There's a chat feature, and you know, I kind of
started out with everyone sort of harassing each other, you know,
teasing and picking on each other and being really inappropriate,
and we all find out we have the same the
credit appropriate sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You craft is a nasty okay? Is it all women?
Is it all women?
Speaker 2 (10:47):

Ones in Kansas, ones in Ohio. I'm in North Sastiniana,
and the last one is in Florida.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
And where are you meeting? And what's the agenda? And yeah,
what what sort of activities are we going to take in?
What's sort of shenanigans?
Speaker 7 (11:02):
Well I don't know, that's all. We left it all
up for chance.
Speaker 9 (11:07):
So we're all meeting. I got myself West tickets ahead
of time, so I my bags a sign free.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Hell yeah, you got it before deadline. That's right. Now,
hold on, Church, I have to ask what everybody's wondering.
Is there a sexual component to this?
Speaker 7 (11:22):
Well that's to be determined. We left it open.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Now hold on. I have to ask again. And you
can tell me.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You can tell me this is too far, but you
know me. I don't have limits. I have no filter.
Are you are you? Are you a lesbian?
Speaker 14 (11:33):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
This is your interest?
Speaker 7 (11:35):
It is not.

How strong are your organs? I think there might be
some organ harvesting going on here. Wow, I'm the.

amount of fear.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
This is Can we call you back after?

the vibe.
Speaker 8 (14:07):
The other three afters now, it turned out this weekend,
you look at this.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I thought this was an obscure topic and you guys
are blowing me up. That's any good morning, good morning.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
So you have an internet friend and now you're engaged.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Yeah, so we met in twenty nineteen. I actually had
I was in another relationship at the time, but we
were in We're both in an online group of people
who work in hotels, and he is actually in Australia.
He's Australian and we started talking because he was helping
(14:43):
me with an issue I had with the system at work.
And here we are six years later.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Wow, and you've met.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
Oh yeah, I went. I lived in Australia for a
year because of him, and he came to visit me.
It was COVID, so we could only talk online for
like three years.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Only that real life with Methany right here. So what
happened after how long of chatting? Did you say, I'm
going to Australia to meet you?
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Well, he came to us. He came to America.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Okay, okay, yeah, good for you.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
You make his ass fly twenty hours for Bethany stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
I won't be flying there again by myself, that's for sure,
because that was a terrible flight. But yeah, he came here.
I think like three years after we started talking.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Okay, Wow, so you talk for three years and then
was it every you're engaged now, But like, was it
when you finally saw him after three years of communicating?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Was it everything you hoped it would be.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Yes, it was a little awkward at first because I
think it was just like so much.
Speaker 14 (15:48):
Of a lead up.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
But yeah, a lot of pressure, a lot of pressure
after three years. I would think for you to be
in front of him and him in front of you
and hope that it matches.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
Yeah. Yeah, Luckily it did, because otherwise he I don't
know what would have happened. He was going to be
staying with me for two weeks.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Oh my gosh. Well, congratulations and thank you for calling.

the way, when I said to you, look up azrab
by John if you can spell it, then someone texted
me our friend Violetta and said that was funny. It
wasn't a slam though. I don't know how to spell
azerb by John. So if you wanted to know where
it was, you'd have to. I guess you'd have to
(17:14):
get close.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Like how many words is that? I don't even know.
It's one word?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
And I think if you, I think you could get
close enough that but I don't. I don't think I
would spell it right the first time.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
John John. I just wouldn't get it right the first
time anyway, Brianna, I don't know. Don't worry about that.
So here go. Thank you for your note.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
You can d m us you can hit us up
Friendshire Radio dot com. So you are in a new
relationship with a boyfriend of about six months.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
This has been going on, yes.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
And I want to just preface by saying we are
very happy. We're very into each other, and everything is
great except one thing.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Great, nice topic this, thanks for calling, you want to
call here? And Bragg, I'm so in my life, Scrus said, yes,
start that, Yeah, that relationship. Well, so what is the
one thing though?
Speaker 6 (18:08):
Well, so we have a very big age gap. So
I'm twenty four and he is fifty.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Okay, all right, so we get a nice, nice twenty
six year age gap. Now I need to hear both
of Now, I'm not quite fifty. In fact, I'm not
anyone you're fifty. But but but you know, let's defend
the older let's defend the older men dating the younger
women thing for a moment until I hear the old thing.
So how did you meet? And like, why are we
talking of? If you're happy? I get that it's a
(18:37):
huge age gap, but like what's the insecurity?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Like where does it come from? Why are we talking? Well?
Speaker 6 (18:43):
We met while we were both out, and this is
not like a thing for me, like I don't seek
out men that are older than me. But we met
at a bar. I thought he was much younger than fifty.
He does not look fifty, and I approached him and
then we got along and after talking for a while,
he was like, by the way, how old are you?
So I wasn't like looking for this, but it just
(19:04):
kind of happened. And we've been dating for six months now,
so it's like kind of getting to be time to
introduce into my family. But I'm very afraid of how
they're going to react. They know that I'm dating someone,
but they don't know his age.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Does he have kids? How old are his kids?
Speaker 6 (19:21):
He does not have kids?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Okay, because that could get a little weird.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Yeah, you know if I agree, if.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
His kids were you know, close to your age. And
there's my dad, right, yeah, that's right, your dad has
dated someone. You're one of your friends?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Right, Well I'm not her friend, but we did attend
the same high school at one point.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, we're not friends now are we?
Speaker 4 (19:38):
We never were?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
But help no, mom?
Speaker 13 (19:43):
Right?
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
So weird.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
And so your family's like, oh, this is so exciting,
Briann has meant someone or whatever. How do you I mean,
is your dad? Let me see, if you're twenty four
your dad your dad could very easily be close to
his age, which could make things kind of weird. I mean,
are you worried about what they're going to say.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I am.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
I mean, I don't think they're going to tell me
to break up with him, but I don't think they're
going to be like jumping for joy about it. And
my friends know about him and they're concerned. They've told
me that they're concerned.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Well that says a lot.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Now why it's a huge age gap, right, But like
why if you're happy, why are they concerned?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Would be my question?
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Well, none of them have met him, and I think
they're just like, why is a fifty year old man
dating a twenty four year old? Like they think it
reflects badly on him, but he's such a great guy
and they don't know him.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Hm.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
So I have a lot of questions. First of all,
eight five three five you know, you know what? What
what do you think when you hear this this twenty
four year old fifty year old dynamic? I also would
ask the question like why is it necessarily a bad look?
Like if you're a mature twenty four year old and
he's a decent guy and he's not a perver weirdo
(20:56):
o ord creep, then I guess I don't know why
this could be a thing like, yeah, it's unorthodox, but
like why.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I don't know. I don't know. I mean I've dated
people of all ages. I'm forty four.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I've dated people anywhere from twenty five to over fifty,
so I've gone both ways. But like, if I date
someone who's over fifty, no one says anything about that.
I've dated people who are twenty eight and the next
person I date is my age, and they think that
they think I'm disgusting for that.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
But is am I disgusting for that? Or is there
an insecurity about that?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
It's like, well, you were dating someone so much younger,
what are you doing with me? It's like, well, because
I can like both things, right, Like, I'm not necessarily
I'm not targeting twenty somethings, But if I meet someone
that I connect with you, then I'm not really sure
that I care about the age necessarily. But your priorities
may differ. I mean, he's fifty, Like, do you want kids?
(21:47):
He may not want kids, he may want not want
to start now, Like I feel like that's the kind
of stuff that might get.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
You in trouble. Em heard, I mean, do you want kids?
She's like received, yeah, yeah, yeat you know, do you
want kids?
Speaker 14 (22:07):
I think I do?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeah, Okay, well I meant it. Do you? I mean,
have you had that discussion with it?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I feel like it's that kind of stuff that where
you you might have an issue because you might very
well be very mature for your age and and find
that this guy offers security and money, a parental figure,
you know, or something that may be Well, I'm just saying, like,
you're allowed to You're allowed to be to gravitate towards
whatever you need, right, and maybe and there's something wrong.
(22:36):
You're both adults, right, I mean, there's there's nothing inherently
wrong about this. But I guess I wonder, like, do
you do you think that you will align on all
of the principles and all of the goals that you
have for one another?
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Yeah, those are valid concerns, But I am also just
kind of like living in the moment of this relationship,
and for the moment, it's very good.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Is he rich?
Speaker 6 (23:00):
Hell?
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (23:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
When leaving me the.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Beau, I want to make that like, you know, when
I was twenty four, I'm surprised that anybody went out
with me. When I was thirty four, I'm surprised that
anybody went out with me, to be honest, like, the
difference between the human being that and I'm not sure
that's saying much, but the difference between the human being
I am now and I was twenty years ago is
significantly different. And I don't know, I'm much more settled.
I'm much more kind of like, you know, I don't know.
(23:27):
I don't have anything to prove to anybody anymore.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I am who I am. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
I think I'm a better version of myself. You know,
back then, I thought I was hot stuff, and I
I don't know, I had a lot to prove. I
didn't have any resources. I didn't know, you know, my
butt from a hole in the wall, you know whatever.
I just so, I guess I can see why younger
women gravitate towards older men. I just wonder, I just
wonder how long you're you're sort of you're going to
(23:53):
be on how many points you were aligned? Or hey,
are you happy not having kids and being with a
guy he's much older, who's rich and there's security there?
And I mean, I guess, I guess this all depends
on what your priorities are.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
Right, God, lots to think about geez.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, all right, Well, let me take some calls on this,
Brianna and I will have to follow up. I can't
wait to hear and let me get Let me guess, Brianna,
he's got money, he's he's he's mature and confident and
the sex is really good.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Right, what's the problem at Brianna?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Thank you, good luck, have a good day, keep the
radio and we'll see what people have to say. Bye, Calyn,
you've done something like this.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Yeah, twenty was where I maxed out, maxed out, excuse me,
choked up there?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Think about it. Emotional, Yeah, yeah, when beneath my wings.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Yeah, twenty is where I maxed out. But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I mean, I do also have concerns, Like one of
the reasons that I'm not so in that relationship is
like I and this is dark, but like I took
care of my grandpa as he was dying, and I
was like, I'm about to do that and like ten
years for this man, you know what I.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Mean, Like I just thought I can't do it again.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
He's in his fifties.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Yeah he was fi.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
I think you had a little bit more time than that, hopefully,
But yeah, I hear what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
I was like, I can't do that.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
You're going to be a caretaker at some point you
marry this guy.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Yeah, so that was part of it.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Honestly, I was like, I need I need a little
because I want to have kids.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
But I think I I don't want to say anything.
I think that generally women think that men who date
women who are much younger are doing it like it's
only to their benefit, like it's just about sexually, just
about you own body, or just about just about or
or somehow it's like navita or lack of maturity or
(25:40):
manipulation or something. Not every twenty something I've gone out
with appealed to me right, like they could be banging
in every way, but like we couldn't connect because we
didn't have similar priorities because they were I mean, I've
met very mature late twenties, early thirties people who are
they you know that they're not into the partying that
into the things are traditionally stereotypically young stuff, stuff that
(26:03):
we all did go out and going out every weekend
and going out and getting crazy stuff that you maybe
don't do when you get a little bit older. So
it hasn't always appealed to me, right, Like, sometimes I've
noticed the maturity gap and it doesn't work. So I
don't think it's in And sure, I think there are
guys out there with a boat and they're rich and
they're old and they're divorced and they just want hot
chicks and they don't care about talking to them or connecting.
(26:24):
It's fine too, and that's all right too if you're
transparent about that. But I don't know that it's I
don't know that it's always as it looks. I think
there are examples where it's like that, and I think
there are examples from the other way where the girl
has really no interest in the guy. He has interest
in the money and the resources and not getting messed with,
you know, or not being with an F boy, a
younger F boy, right, and like herl.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Like, who's asking I mean, I'm not asking ages, so
you know, like for my ex, for example, he looked
he didn't look his age, So who's like going, wait,
how old are you?
Speaker 13 (26:55):
No?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Which I am? You say, this is too big of
an age gap. This is a hard nol for you.
Speaker 11 (27:00):
Yeah, And when he was twenty four years old, was
born she was. I mean when he was twenty four
she was born. That's no, absolutely not. I have a
daughter that's almost that age, and I would absolutely not
be on board with this.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
So she comes home with me. I mean, let me
ask you this. She's she's around twenty four, your daughter.
Speaker 14 (27:17):
Diane, she's twenty five.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Okay, And I'm sure that in her life you've seen
her dates some real douchebags that are her own age, right,
And they're douchebags maybe not because they're inherently bad people,
but because they're young and stupid and naive and and
and immature, because we all are before we know better, right,
So like, would you there's no way that you could
see this for what it is, which is maybe he's
(27:41):
a decent guy and they connect's and he's got his
act together more than somebody her own age might.
Speaker 14 (27:48):
I can't.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
That's my husband's age.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
It's it's so appropriate because by.
Speaker 11 (27:52):
The time she's going to have babies with him, he's
going to be ready for bad'nh.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
The wrong with that.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
You're ready for bad.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Let's the big time, all right?
Speaker 11 (28:04):
They're going to be falling apart.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Come on now, right, I see the concerns.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I see the concerns, but I guess I take it
more to are their lifestyles going to align? Are their
goals going to align? Because I do think it's possible
that they both could be good people. And yeah, okay,
thank you, Diane, I know, I know, yeah, okay, well,
thank you, Diane.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Have a good day. You may not want to have kids.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
You may want to, I don't know, travel the world
and and be secure and and and maybe that that
guy can offer that, and someone your own age can.
I mean, I think I think we all assume that
everybody has similar priorities, and maybe this woman doesn't. I don't,
but she did say she was thinking about kids, and
so that's an issue. Hey, Liz, Hi high Liz, So
you this resonates with you. You've been on the on
(28:53):
her side of this.
Speaker 13 (28:55):
Yes, not such any huge age cap. But I dated
someone who was fifteen years older than me years ago.
I'm thirty now, and I dated this person when I
was twenty two, and my parents.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
Were not on board with it.
Speaker 13 (29:12):
They they didn't like it. It was more like I've
never looked my age, so I look way younger than
I actually am, and they just thought it was weird,
and I've dated that person for like two years, and.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
When why did it all?
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I'm sorry interrupt you, but why did it ultimately not
work out?
Speaker 13 (29:34):
I think it was like I had a different mentality
back then, Like I wanted to go out and party
and do all this stuff. When you're like twenty and
he's always here trying to like settle down and start
a family and everything.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
It was more like that type of thing.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I see.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Okay, so you were attracted to each other and there
was like a connection maybe physically or whatever, but again
your priorities were different. Yes, yeah, yeah, okay, Well thank you, Liz,
good day, Glad you called. That's what That's where I
think ultimately they may align.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Not every twenty four year old wants to go out
and get hammered every weekend. Not every fifty year old
is like you know, in a recliner on an AARP website,
you know, I mean, I think there's probably a compromise
in there somewhere. Hey, Diane, another Diane, Diane number two,
uh huh, certainly no less important than Diane number one,
just the second one to call in this segment. What
(30:28):
do you think This is a woman who called in
Stay Orgo. She's twenty four didyan guy who's fifty. Her
friends are concerned, her family doesn't know, and she's been
with him for six months and is happy but isn't sure.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
What do you think, Well, I think if she were
confident in knowing that this is a good relationship for her,
it's really healthy and strong. It doesn't matter what other
people think. But I'll tell you I think her parents
might pick up on that and say, wow, this could
be really good for you, because that's what happened with me.
And I was forty five. He was twenty three years
(31:00):
older than me. He was the age of my father,
and of course they had some you know, like a
second thought. But when they met him, they could see
how he related to me and how I related to him,
and it was wonderful.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
My mom actually cried when we broke up.
Speaker 14 (31:17):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
And what ultimately was the demise of the relationship.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
What ultimately happened, Well, what happened was it was an
energy difference where he actually had more energy than I did.
I was more of a deep thinker, profound meditation, spirituality
kind of a person, and he was more of a
let's go travel, Let's go here, let's go there.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
And I'm the world's worst traveler.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
So I wanted him to be free to do what
he really felt like he wanted to do. And I said,
you know this, I really need to let you go.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Oh wow wow.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
And Diane, I think I feel like when people hear
these age gaps, all they're thinking about, or at least
the first thing that comes to their mind sex. The
first thing that comes to our mind is this is
this is about sex, This is about the physicality the
old guy wants young girl. And I don't that's certainly
probably an element in a lot of these cases, but
I don't think it is in everyone.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
No.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Oh, no, gosh no. I mean that was part of it,
and we both had kind of like wounded backgrounds in
that area. But the other part of it was that
we were so deeply connected in a just a fundamental
way that we had fun no matter what we did.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Yeah and so yeah, in which case, it had nothing
to do with age. Really, it had more to do
with your interests and what you guys wanted to do
in life. And I think that the situation you ran
into could happen if you were the same age, or
if you were thirty years apart.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
So sorry, think about it, oh.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
All the time, and we still stay in touch. He's
a lawyer. He did my mother's papers before she passed.
He was at my dad's funeral. I mean we cried together.
He's do a wonderful trimd.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
But you won't reconcile. There's no way that that you
can see, you know, finding some common grounds at.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
This point he's in his nineties.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Oh that's a parent. Well I'm going to say, you
know when I can. You want to get his papers
and get some papers of your own, you know, Yeah, okay,
I mean you did the hard work, you know, time
time for the payoff, you know what.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Oh god, we're terrible. All right, thank you, Diane. I
have a good day. Thank you, Thank you for sharing.
All right, I only have time.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
It really was sweet and no man, now what I mean. Yes,
I will.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Also say forties and sixties I think are probably less
of a maturity difference than twenties and forties. Yes, in
any case, so I can see them. But listen from
the male perspective, here comes big rich rich is here.
He pays forty seventies girlfriend's twenty five.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
My man, congrats, dude, Rich come on, come on, we'll
have to make a sound like that.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Fred, Is it like that? Is that what it is?
Speaker 14 (34:05):
I mean that those are the numbers.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yes, those are the numbers. And how did you mean?
Speaker 14 (34:10):
We met at a mutual friend's house. So when we
were introduced, she told me she was twenty eight years old.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Well, that's a big difference for it's twenty Come on, man,
so you hello, have you been together?
Speaker 14 (34:22):
The prime at the time, she was twenty three, and
she told me she was twenty eight, and every time
I saw her after that it went down a year.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Okay, all right, so she's eighteen, so even for two years.
It says on the screen you've been together for two years. Yeah,
So what's the.
Speaker 14 (34:38):
Future living together for two years, dating for like just
a little over two years?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah, okay, And so what is the well you pulled
she pulled a Jason on you and just moved in
and never left, Ainy, nothing wrong with that. What what's
the endgame here? Like? Are you going to get married
and have kids and do all the things that you would.
Speaker 11 (34:53):
Do with you?
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 14 (34:55):
Yeah, that's that's that's what we're that's what we're hoping for.
I mean, we're obviously trying to have some stuff ironed out, uh,
each of us in our in our lives. And then
you know, her thing is she wants a white fence,
pick of fence, and then she'll get married.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Rich has to get divorced and she has to graduate
high school. So there's luck going on.
Speaker 14 (35:12):
I've been divorced for seven years.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Richie was too easy. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but no,
I hope, Look, I hope it works out if you
guys connect and everybody you know and you're on the
same page. And then I don't know who would who
should judge rich Right.
Speaker 14 (35:28):
Yeah, we get we get a lot of judgment online
and stuff like that. And she has she posts a
lot of one of her TikTok says which we met earlier,
and then it shows a picture of me and and
uh two thousand and two and her in two thousand
and two.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
And I love doing that.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yeah, that's not that's certainly going to feed the narrative. Hey,
rich good luck Man. I appreciate you calling. Have a
good day. You're good sport.
Speaker 14 (35:52):
You guys have a good day, all right?
Speaker 1 (35:53):

obscure one, but I'm just curious because I saw this
this morning. Have any of you or has anyone do
you have a friend that you've never met, like a friend,
like someone that you either like In this case, this
(00:45):
is the thing I saw this morning.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
It's on Reddit.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
It was a picture of a man and a woman
together and it said met my internet friend today for
the first time. We started chatting online in two thousand
and one when we were both sixteen, so that's what
twenty four years ago. Four years ago. They started chatting online.
They never met. They kept in touch for twenty four
years wow, and they went to an Iron Maiden concert together.
(01:08):
I guess they're Iron Maiden fans. Well, like, I don't know,
is it is it? Maybe some when you talk to
like another branch of your office you've talked to you
for a long time, never seen, which I guess in
this day and age is hard to do. People can
FaceTime or you know whatever, but video chat all all
the different zoom meetings and whatever else. But like, I
(01:29):
don't know, have you ever chatted with someone played video games?
You ever had a pen pal?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I'd made friends on Instagram, but then I've ended up
meeting them like a year or so later.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
But did you meet them that DM you? They listened
to the show they DM you?
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yeah, yeah, I think so.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
And just over time, like realized we had similar interests
and I don't know, I felt like I could trust
her and then we met up in person and ended
up being a great friend.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
She was an ex murderer. Yeah it's a shame.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah yeah, but you still visit her in prison right now?
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Now?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
That your friends, Well, if she was an ex murderer,
wouldn't I not be alive to tell the tale?
Speaker 6 (02:04):
Well?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I think unfortunately, she wasn't able.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
To get to you, she spared me.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yeah, yeah, because you were friends.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Well that's why you meet in public always.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I agree, But like, is it one of those things.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Is it like between glass when you go to see her,
or is it like across the table. Are you able
to like, you know, sit physically, or is it is
it like a video chat on the phone.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I's like when you go to.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
See her, you know, I usually bake a cake, put
some treats in there for her. Oh it's always her
birthday speak stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but none of you don't because I mean,
this is crazy like to keep it, I mean, especially now.
And I don't know if these people live in you know,
wildly different parts of the world or something like, you know,
really crazy extreme distance. But I mean, I just think
it's it's amazing to think that people have been able
to keep in touch for this period of time and
never meet.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Granted, when you're sixteen, you meet someone on a video game,
you don't have any money. You know, you're not probably
not thinking like, oh, I'm gonna be talking to this
person in twenty five years. But I just I wonder
if this has ever happened to anybody that's a really
long time.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
It has definitely happened.
Speaker 8 (03:05):
I feel like now like we did the tour and
that's when I met a lot of the thirteen that
we've been friends for over the last two years that
I've been here, and then you finally get to put
a face to the name. But it's a few that
I haven't. Like there's this one friend online named c Style.
All I know is her Instagram handle. I don't know
her real name, Lady Lyftdriver. I don't know her real name.
(03:25):
My friend my friends, so it's like, yeah, like, and
I know those people ride for me on social media,
ride for all of us on social media. But it's
like I've never met them in real life, but I
consider them friends.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, yeah, I mean radio people that I've chatted with
for years and years and years and never.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Met in person. Yeah, that's true. But I mean I
don't know if they're friends. Some of them are.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
There are people that I see very very rarely, but
I know when I see them, I know what's going
on in their lives. Because of Facebook. That's the only
reason I still have Facebook's I can quickly scroll through
and I can get the birthdays I can hit the
birthdays quickly, right, and then because that's important, I rarely
will message them on Facebook. I'll cheat and I'll go
to Facebook to see if it's the birthday, and then
I'll text them, and then people are like, how did
(04:08):
you remember?
Speaker 9 (04:09):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I'm on top of it, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
But then there's other other people that like, I'll catch
up with them after years, and I already know all
the things they are telling me because I's owed on Facebook,
but I know them, like, I can't think of anyone
who I've been quote unquote friends with for you know,
years and never actually like met Hey, Alyssa, you have
an internet friend?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Really?
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Multiple? Okay? Are you a gamer?
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Like?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
How does this come about you?
Speaker 7 (04:37):
No?
Speaker 10 (04:37):
In like twenty seventeen, I was at a friend's house
and used her PlayStation to play a game just once,
and I met people who I really liked, and we
ended up following each other on social media and we
talked pretty often, and they gave me tips on how
to do my hair or makeup. And I've never met them.
They live in an entirely different state.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Now, what prevents you from just I was gonna say,
bags fly free on Southwest but they don't anymore. So,
I mean prevents you have it on a spirit and
you know, ducking from you know, ducking for cover from
the you know fights in wrestling that happen on spirit
sometimes and just going to see these people like it's
it's you know, modern air travel is amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (05:14):
Never genuinely have never thought about it. I think I'm
just okay with them being my phone ferns. And I
think it's really common for like people in gen Z
to have these friends that they've never met that they
used or met through social seek media or other like gaming.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Okay, yeah, I mean it's kind of crazy. I think
eventually that my curiosity would get the best of me.
I'd want to meet the people, like I'd want to
see that they're real. But I don't know, maybe it's
boundaried and doesn't really matter.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
I believe them.
Speaker 10 (05:43):
I choose to believe and hope to not get catfished.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, okay, thank you, Lizen, have a good day. Problem.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
This is is a random story, but I I growing up,
I had a family member who I don't think they
do I don't know what they do anymore, but like
this person had like a receptionist for their office, but
the receptionist worked in like another office, and you hired
this company to answer the phone for you, but they
like weren't in the same.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Office as you.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Oh yeah, so like this so one day and so
I would call this person regularly and the same person
would answer the phone. Never saw this person ever talk
to them. They were in the same city, but like
they worked in a different office, and then they would
transfer the call or whatever every day for years. This woman,
I can't remember her name. And one day I'm in
a doctor's office and my sister's there and my mom's
(06:32):
there's a therapist. My parents are getting divorced, and I
hear this woman talking behind the desk and it's her.
It's the woman who's been answering the phone for years
and years and years and years. And like I was
a kid, so it was always oh hi, Christopher, this
whole thing and my sister. I was watching my sister
for a period of time and she was kind of
acting up and this woman stands it from the desk
and starts screaming at us to like be quiet, and
(06:53):
I like, she didn't obviously know that, like this little
boy who's like birthday, she celebrated and all this stuff
like we'd never seen each other. She had no idea.
We were just disrupting her like work, I guess. And
I wanted to be like, hey, Karen, it's me. You know,
I'm the kid who's been calling and talk to so
and so for you know, years and years, but I
didn't have the heart to do it. But for some reason,
(07:14):
I think about that story all the time because I
was like, because this is back before you would have
any way of knowing what these people look and I
had no idea who this person was. It was just
you call every day and you talked to it. Hey
can I talk to so and so?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Sure, hold on every single day you make that call
and it's like, here's this person. And then she screamed
at me. So it really hurt my feelings and upset me.
But it's funny. It is like a few hours later
I called talked to this person, and there's a lady, Okay,
I got something to talk to you. And I'm like,
it wasn't two hours ago screaming at me. And I
know if I'd said something to her like hey, I
(07:47):
think I know you, I'm so and so, and I
would have changed everything. But whatever, Holly, Hi, Holly, Hey.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Hi, it's Holly.
Speaker 11 (07:57):
Holly.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Shit, guys, it's Holly. This is exciting. I'm waiting for you.
You have an.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Internet friend through gaming and you've never met this person.
What's the story?
Speaker 12 (08:10):
Correct? So I've been playing this game, it's called the
Old School Rooms game. I played it on and off
for about fifteen years. And I hate so many like
internet friends that you mentioned. I have a friend in
Arizona in the UK, and it's just like a great
like bond that we have.
Speaker 13 (08:26):
With the game.
Speaker 12 (08:27):
But you know, we all live in a different like
state or country.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Interesting, and so these these friendships, like they you're appeased
by them only going so far, like they don't need
to go much further, Like you don't need to run
and meet these folks. Like it's it's good enough the
way it is. They could be they could be anyone
doing anything, and it doesn't matter because it's just it's boundary.
Speaker 12 (08:48):
I mean, honestly, if I was, like, let's say, for example,
the friend I have in Arizona that played through the game,
if I were ever to visit, I wouldn't mind saying, hey,
let's you know, meet up because it's like a bunch
of us that are like, I'm in my mid thirties
playing this game, and you know, it's like everyone resonates
because we're in the same age rage playing this game
(09:08):
for fifteen twenty years, and it's just you know, again,
this is something that's fun.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I think sometimes like the idea of compartmentalizing a friendship
and like having it be in its own lane, its
own little like this is my friend from the game
and we talk about some stuff, but like that's the expectation,
because like, maintaining friendships as an adult can be hard,
and I think it's why adults, many adults wind up
with fewer friendships because it's a lot of work. But
now you got this sort of friend but there's no
(09:34):
real expectation and you're vibing over the game, so it's
like it's kind of a nice thing.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I don't know, Thank you, Holly Lily.
Speaker 12 (09:41):
Yeah, you don't have to talk about stress and like
all work sucks.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
It's just you gone on you play. You're like, hey,
you know, what are.
Speaker 12 (09:49):
You doing in the game, and you're just kind of
like making that own little world.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Okay? Yeah? Fair enough. All right, Well thank you, Holly,
thank you. I have a good day.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Hey Trich tred Hi Tris, So you have an internet
friend group and you're all meeting this weekend.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
That's exciting. How did you make it? What's the deal?
Speaker 9 (10:09):
We met on an online auction.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Website for what? What were you bidding on?
Speaker 7 (10:16):
I was bidding on I don't know, craft supplies.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Okay, so you're bidding on this. There's like a chat
feature in there or something.
Speaker 9 (10:24):
There's a chat feature, and you know, I kind of
started out with everyone sort of harassing each other, you know,
teasing and picking on each other and being really inappropriate,
and we all find out we have the same the
credit appropriate sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You craft is a nasty okay? Is it all women?

what what sort of activities are we going to take in?

So we're all meeting. I got myself West tickets ahead
of time, so I my bags a sign free.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Hell yeah, you got it before deadline. That's right. Now,
hold on, Church, I have to ask what everybody's wondering.
Is there a sexual component to this?
Speaker 7 (11:22):
Well that's to be determined. We left it open.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Now hold on. I have to ask again. And you
can tell me.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You can tell me this is too far, but you
know me. I don't have limits. I have no filter.
Are you are you? Are you a lesbian?
Speaker 14 (11:33):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (11:33):

Speaker 7 (11:35):
It is not.

How strong are your organs? I think there might be
some organ harvesting going on here. Wow, I'm the.

amount of fear.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
This is Can we call you back after?

if there was a sexual component to this. You didn't
say absolutely not. You said to be determined. So what
makes you.
Speaker 7 (13:17):

Speaker 8 (14:07):
The other three afters now, it turned out this weekend,
you look at this.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I thought this was an obscure topic and you guys
are blowing me up. That's any good morning, good morning.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
So you have an internet friend and now you're engaged.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Yeah, so we met in twenty nineteen. I actually had
I was in another relationship at the time, but we
were in We're both in an online group of people
who work in hotels, and he is actually in Australia.
He's Australian and we started talking because he was helping
(14:43):
me with an issue I had with the system at work.
And here we are six years later.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Wow, and you've met.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
Oh yeah, I went. I lived in Australia for a
year because of him, and he came to visit me.
It was COVID, so we could only talk online for
like three years.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Only that real life with Methany right here. So what
happened after how long of chatting? Did you say, I'm
going to Australia to meet you?
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Well, he came to us. He came to America.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Okay, okay, yeah, good for you.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
You make his ass fly twenty hours for Bethany stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
I won't be flying there again by myself, that's for sure,
because that was a terrible flight. But yeah, he came here.
I think like three years after we started talking.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Okay, Wow, so you talk for three years and then
was it every you're engaged now, But like, was it
when you finally saw him after three years of communicating?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Was it everything you hoped it would be.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Yes, it was a little awkward at first because I
think it was just like so much.
Speaker 14 (15:48):
Of a lead up.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
But yeah, a lot of pressure, a lot of pressure
after three years. I would think for you to be
in front of him and him in front of you
and hope that it matches.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
Yeah. Yeah, Luckily it did, because otherwise he I don't
know what would have happened. He was going to be
staying with me for two weeks.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Oh my gosh. Well, congratulations and thank you for calling.

Yeah, Brianna's here, Hi, Brianna, good morning, Good morning. By
the way, when I said to you, look up azrab
by John if you can spell it, then someone texted
me our friend Violetta and said that was funny. It
wasn't a slam though. I don't know how to spell
azerb by John. So if you wanted to know where
it was, you'd have to. I guess you'd have to
(17:14):
get close.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Like how many words is that? I don't even know.
It's one word?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
And I think if you, I think you could get
close enough that but I don't. I don't think I
would spell it right the first time.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
John John. I just wouldn't get it right the first
time anyway, Brianna, I don't know. Don't worry about that.
So here go. Thank you for your note.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
You can d m us you can hit us up
Friendshire Radio dot com. So you are in a new
relationship with a boyfriend of about six months.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
This has been going on, yes.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
And I want to just preface by saying we are
very happy. We're very into each other, and everything is
great except one thing.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Great, nice topic this, thanks for calling, you want to
call here? And Bragg, I'm so in my life, Scrus said, yes,
start that, Yeah, that relationship. Well, so what is the
one thing though?
Speaker 6 (18:08):
Well, so we have a very big age gap. So
I'm twenty four and he is fifty.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Okay, all right, so we get a nice, nice twenty
six year age gap. Now I need to hear both
of Now, I'm not quite fifty. In fact, I'm not
anyone you're fifty. But but but you know, let's defend
the older let's defend the older men dating the younger
women thing for a moment until I hear the old thing.
So how did you meet? And like, why are we
talking of? If you're happy? I get that it's a
(18:37):
huge age gap, but like what's the insecurity?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Like where does it come from? Why are we talking? Well?
Speaker 6 (18:43):
We met while we were both out, and this is
not like a thing for me, like I don't seek
out men that are older than me. But we met
at a bar. I thought he was much younger than fifty.
He does not look fifty, and I approached him and
then we got along and after talking for a while,
he was like, by the way, how old are you?
So I wasn't like looking for this, but it just
(19:04):
kind of happened. And we've been dating for six months now,
so it's like kind of getting to be time to
introduce into my family. But I'm very afraid of how
they're going to react. They know that I'm dating someone,
but they don't know his age.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Does he have kids? How old are his kids?
Speaker 6 (19:21):
He does not have kids?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Okay, because that could get a little weird.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Yeah, you know if I agree, if.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
His kids were you know, close to your age. And
there's my dad, right, yeah, that's right, your dad has
dated someone. You're one of your friends?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Right, Well I'm not her friend, but we did attend
the same high school at one point.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, we're not friends now are we?
Speaker 4 (19:38):
We never were?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
But help no, mom?
Speaker 13 (19:43):
Right?
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
So weird.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
And so your family's like, oh, this is so exciting,
Briann has meant someone or whatever. How do you I mean,
is your dad? Let me see, if you're twenty four
your dad your dad could very easily be close to
his age, which could make things kind of weird. I mean,
are you worried about what they're going to say.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I am.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
I mean, I don't think they're going to tell me
to break up with him, but I don't think they're
going to be like jumping for joy about it. And
my friends know about him and they're concerned. They've told
me that they're concerned.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Well that says a lot.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Now why it's a huge age gap, right, But like
why if you're happy, why are they concerned?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Would be my question?
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Well, none of them have met him, and I think
they're just like, why is a fifty year old man
dating a twenty four year old? Like they think it
reflects badly on him, but he's such a great guy
and they don't know him.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Hm.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
So I have a lot of questions. First of all,
eight five three five you know, you know what? What
what do you think when you hear this this twenty
four year old fifty year old dynamic? I also would
ask the question like why is it necessarily a bad look?
Like if you're a mature twenty four year old and
he's a decent guy and he's not a perver weirdo
(20:56):
o ord creep, then I guess I don't know why
this could be a thing like, yeah, it's unorthodox, but
like why.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I don't know. I don't know. I mean I've dated
people of all ages. I'm forty four.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I've dated people anywhere from twenty five to over fifty,
so I've gone both ways. But like, if I date
someone who's over fifty, no one says anything about that.
I've dated people who are twenty eight and the next
person I date is my age, and they think that
they think I'm disgusting for that.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
But is am I disgusting for that? Or is there
an insecurity about that?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
It's like, well, you were dating someone so much younger,
what are you doing with me? It's like, well, because
I can like both things, right, Like, I'm not necessarily
I'm not targeting twenty somethings, But if I meet someone
that I connect with you, then I'm not really sure
that I care about the age necessarily. But your priorities
may differ. I mean, he's fifty, Like, do you want kids?
(21:47):
He may not want kids, he may want not want
to start now, Like I feel like that's the kind
of stuff that might get.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
You in trouble. Em heard, I mean, do you want kids?
She's like received, yeah, yeah, yeat you know, do you
want kids?
Speaker 14 (22:07):
I think I do?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeah, Okay, well I meant it. Do you? I mean,
have you had that discussion with it?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I feel like it's that kind of stuff that where
you you might have an issue because you might very
well be very mature for your age and and find
that this guy offers security and money, a parental figure,
you know, or something that may be Well, I'm just saying, like,
you're allowed to You're allowed to be to gravitate towards
whatever you need, right, and maybe and there's something wrong.
(22:36):
You're both adults, right, I mean, there's there's nothing inherently
wrong about this. But I guess I wonder, like, do
you do you think that you will align on all
of the principles and all of the goals that you
have for one another?
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Yeah, those are valid concerns, But I am also just
kind of like living in the moment of this relationship,
and for the moment, it's very good.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Is he rich?
Speaker 6 (23:00):
Hell?
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (23:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
When leaving me the.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Beau, I want to make that like, you know, when
I was twenty four, I'm surprised that anybody went out
with me. When I was thirty four, I'm surprised that
anybody went out with me, to be honest, like, the
difference between the human being that and I'm not sure
that's saying much, but the difference between the human being
I am now and I was twenty years ago is
significantly different. And I don't know, I'm much more settled.
I'm much more kind of like, you know, I don't know.
(23:27):
I don't have anything to prove to anybody anymore.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I am who I am. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
I think I'm a better version of myself. You know,
back then, I thought I was hot stuff, and I
I don't know, I had a lot to prove. I
didn't have any resources. I didn't know, you know, my
butt from a hole in the wall, you know whatever.
I just so, I guess I can see why younger
women gravitate towards older men. I just wonder, I just
wonder how long you're you're sort of you're going to
(23:53):
be on how many points you were aligned? Or hey,
are you happy not having kids and being with a
guy he's much older, who's rich and there's security there?
And I mean, I guess, I guess this all depends
on what your priorities are.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
Right, God, lots to think about geez.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, all right, Well, let me take some calls on this,
Brianna and I will have to follow up. I can't
wait to hear and let me get Let me guess, Brianna,
he's got money, he's he's he's mature and confident and
the sex is really good.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Right, what's the problem at Brianna?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Thank you, good luck, have a good day, keep the
radio and we'll see what people have to say. Bye, Calyn,
you've done something like this.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Yeah, twenty was where I maxed out, maxed out, excuse me,
choked up there?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Think about it. Emotional, Yeah, yeah, when beneath my wings.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Yeah, twenty is where I maxed out. But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I mean, I do also have concerns, Like one of
the reasons that I'm not so in that relationship is
like I and this is dark, but like I took
care of my grandpa as he was dying, and I
was like, I'm about to do that and like ten
years for this man, you know what I.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Mean, Like I just thought I can't do it again.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
He's in his fifties.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Yeah he was fi.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
I think you had a little bit more time than that, hopefully,
But yeah, I hear what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
I was like, I can't do that.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
You're going to be a caretaker at some point you
marry this guy.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Yeah, so that was part of it.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Honestly, I was like, I need I need a little
because I want to have kids.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
But I think I I don't want to say anything.
I think that generally women think that men who date
women who are much younger are doing it like it's
only to their benefit, like it's just about sexually, just
about you own body, or just about just about or
or somehow it's like navita or lack of maturity or
(25:40):
manipulation or something. Not every twenty something I've gone out
with appealed to me right, like they could be banging
in every way, but like we couldn't connect because we
didn't have similar priorities because they were I mean, I've
met very mature late twenties, early thirties people who are
they you know that they're not into the partying that
into the things are traditionally stereotypically young stuff, stuff that
(26:03):
we all did go out and going out every weekend
and going out and getting crazy stuff that you maybe
don't do when you get a little bit older. So
it hasn't always appealed to me, right, Like, sometimes I've
noticed the maturity gap and it doesn't work. So I
don't think it's in And sure, I think there are
guys out there with a boat and they're rich and
they're old and they're divorced and they just want hot
chicks and they don't care about talking to them or connecting.
(26:24):
It's fine too, and that's all right too if you're
transparent about that. But I don't know that it's I
don't know that it's always as it looks. I think
there are examples where it's like that, and I think
there are examples from the other way where the girl
has really no interest in the guy. He has interest
in the money and the resources and not getting messed with,
you know, or not being with an F boy, a
younger F boy, right, and like herl.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Like, who's asking I mean, I'm not asking ages, so
you know, like for my ex, for example, he looked
he didn't look his age, So who's like going, wait,
how old are you?
Speaker 13 (26:55):
No?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Which I am? You say, this is too big of
an age gap. This is a hard nol for you.
Speaker 11 (27:00):
Yeah, And when he was twenty four years old, was
born she was. I mean when he was twenty four
she was born. That's no, absolutely not. I have a
daughter that's almost that age, and I would absolutely not
be on board with this.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
So she comes home with me. I mean, let me
ask you this. She's she's around twenty four, your daughter.
Speaker 14 (27:17):
Diane, she's twenty five.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Okay, And I'm sure that in her life you've seen
her dates some real douchebags that are her own age, right,
And they're douchebags maybe not because they're inherently bad people,
but because they're young and stupid and naive and and
and immature, because we all are before we know better, right,
So like, would you there's no way that you could
see this for what it is, which is maybe he's
(27:41):
a decent guy and they connect's and he's got his
act together more than somebody her own age might.
Speaker 14 (27:48):
I can't.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
That's my husband's age.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
It's it's so appropriate because by.
Speaker 11 (27:52):
The time she's going to have babies with him, he's
going to be ready for bad'nh.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
The wrong with that.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
You're ready for bad.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Let's the big time, all right?
Speaker 11 (28:04):
They're going to be falling apart.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Come on now, right, I see the concerns.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I see the concerns, but I guess I take it
more to are their lifestyles going to align? Are their
goals going to align? Because I do think it's possible
that they both could be good people. And yeah, okay,
thank you, Diane, I know, I know, yeah, okay, well,
thank you, Diane.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Have a good day. You may not want to have kids.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
You may want to, I don't know, travel the world
and and be secure and and and maybe that that
guy can offer that, and someone your own age can.
I mean, I think I think we all assume that
everybody has similar priorities, and maybe this woman doesn't. I don't,
but she did say she was thinking about kids, and
so that's an issue. Hey, Liz, Hi high Liz, So
you this resonates with you. You've been on the on
(28:53):
her side of this.
Speaker 13 (28:55):
Yes, not such any huge age cap. But I dated
someone who was fifteen years older than me years ago.
I'm thirty now, and I dated this person when I
was twenty two, and my parents.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
Were not on board with it.
Speaker 13 (29:12):
They they didn't like it. It was more like I've
never looked my age, so I look way younger than
I actually am, and they just thought it was weird,
and I've dated that person for like two years, and.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
When why did it all?
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I'm sorry interrupt you, but why did it ultimately not
work out?
Speaker 13 (29:34):
I think it was like I had a different mentality
back then, Like I wanted to go out and party
and do all this stuff. When you're like twenty and
he's always here trying to like settle down and start
a family and everything.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
It was more like that type of thing.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I see.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Okay, so you were attracted to each other and there
was like a connection maybe physically or whatever, but again
your priorities were different. Yes, yeah, yeah, okay, Well thank you, Liz,
good day, Glad you called. That's what That's where I
think ultimately they may align.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Not every twenty four year old wants to go out
and get hammered every weekend. Not every fifty year old
is like you know, in a recliner on an AARP website,
you know, I mean, I think there's probably a compromise
in there somewhere. Hey, Diane, another Diane, Diane number two,
uh huh, certainly no less important than Diane number one,
just the second one to call in this segment. What
(30:28):
do you think This is a woman who called in
Stay Orgo. She's twenty four didyan guy who's fifty. Her
friends are concerned, her family doesn't know, and she's been
with him for six months and is happy but isn't sure.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
What do you think, Well, I think if she were
confident in knowing that this is a good relationship for her,
it's really healthy and strong. It doesn't matter what other
people think. But I'll tell you I think her parents
might pick up on that and say, wow, this could
be really good for you, because that's what happened with me.
And I was forty five. He was twenty three years
(31:00):
older than me. He was the age of my father,
and of course they had some you know, like a
second thought. But when they met him, they could see
how he related to me and how I related to him,
and it was wonderful.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
My mom actually cried when we broke up.
Speaker 14 (31:17):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
And what ultimately was the demise of the relationship.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
What ultimately happened, Well, what happened was it was an
energy difference where he actually had more energy than I did.
I was more of a deep thinker, profound meditation, spirituality
kind of a person, and he was more of a
let's go travel, Let's go here, let's go there.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
And I'm the world's worst traveler.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
So I wanted him to be free to do what
he really felt like he wanted to do. And I said,
you know this, I really need to let you go.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Oh wow wow.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
And Diane, I think I feel like when people hear
these age gaps, all they're thinking about, or at least
the first thing that comes to their mind sex. The
first thing that comes to our mind is this is
this is about sex, This is about the physicality the
old guy wants young girl. And I don't that's certainly
probably an element in a lot of these cases, but
I don't think it is in everyone.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
No.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Oh, no, gosh no. I mean that was part of it,
and we both had kind of like wounded backgrounds in
that area. But the other part of it was that
we were so deeply connected in a just a fundamental
way that we had fun no matter what we did.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Yeah and so yeah, in which case, it had nothing
to do with age. Really, it had more to do
with your interests and what you guys wanted to do
in life. And I think that the situation you ran
into could happen if you were the same age, or
if you were thirty years apart.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
So sorry, think about it, oh.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
All the time, and we still stay in touch. He's
a lawyer. He did my mother's papers before she passed.
He was at my dad's funeral. I mean we cried together.
He's do a wonderful trimd.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
But you won't reconcile. There's no way that that you
can see, you know, finding some common grounds at.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
This point he's in his nineties.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Oh that's a parent. Well I'm going to say, you
know when I can. You want to get his papers
and get some papers of your own, you know, Yeah, okay,
I mean you did the hard work, you know, time
time for the payoff, you know what.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Oh god, we're terrible. All right, thank you, Diane. I
have a good day. Thank you, Thank you for sharing.
All right, I only have time.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
It really was sweet and no man, now what I mean. Yes,
I will.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Also say forties and sixties I think are probably less
of a maturity difference than twenties and forties. Yes, in
any case, so I can see them. But listen from
the male perspective, here comes big rich rich is here.
He pays forty seventies girlfriend's twenty five.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
My man, congrats, dude, Rich come on, come on, we'll
have to make a sound like that.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Fred, Is it like that? Is that what it is?
Speaker 14 (34:05):
I mean that those are the numbers.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yes, those are the numbers. And how did you mean?
Speaker 14 (34:10):
We met at a mutual friend's house. So when we
were introduced, she told me she was twenty eight years old.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Well, that's a big difference for it's twenty Come on, man,
so you hello, have you been together?
Speaker 14 (34:22):
The prime at the time, she was twenty three, and
she told me she was twenty eight, and every time
I saw her after that it went down a year.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Okay, all right, so she's eighteen, so even for two years.
It says on the screen you've been together for two years. Yeah,
So what's the.
Speaker 14 (34:38):
Future living together for two years, dating for like just
a little over two years?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah, okay, And so what is the well you pulled
she pulled a Jason on you and just moved in
and never left, Ainy, nothing wrong with that. What what's
the endgame here? Like? Are you going to get married
and have kids and do all the things that you would.
Speaker 11 (34:53):
Do with you?
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 14 (34:55):
Yeah, that's that's that's what we're that's what we're hoping for.
I mean, we're obviously trying to have some stuff ironed out, uh,
each of us in our in our lives. And then
you know, her thing is she wants a white fence,
pick of fence, and then she'll get married.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Rich has to get divorced and she has to graduate
high school. So there's luck going on.
Speaker 14 (35:12):
I've been divorced for seven years.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Richie was too easy. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but no,
I hope, Look, I hope it works out if you
guys connect and everybody you know and you're on the
same page. And then I don't know who would who
should judge rich Right.
Speaker 14 (35:28):
Yeah, we get we get a lot of judgment online
and stuff like that. And she has she posts a
lot of one of her TikTok says which we met earlier,
and then it shows a picture of me and and
uh two thousand and two and her in two thousand
and two.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
And I love doing that.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yeah, that's not that's certainly going to feed the narrative. Hey,
rich good luck Man. I appreciate you calling. Have a
good day. You're good sport.
Speaker 14 (35:52):
You guys have a good day, all right?
Speaker 1 (35:53):

college loans for her and he can pay for it.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
