Speaker 1 (00:01):
Oh my god, I just totally got catfished.
He looks absolutely nothinglike his picture.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
So I found out, the guy that I've been dating is
married with kids.
His wife just reached out to me.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Welcome to the Meat Market.
The single scene is aslaughterhouse and we are here
to devour it.
We are your hosts.
I'm Lindsay, I'm Jess andtoday's sizzling single is Henry
welcome.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Hey, good evening ladies.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
You flew all the way to London on New Year's Eve to
take a girl out on a first date.
I did, and you do that often.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Tell us about that I just, there's 8 billion people
on the planet and the logic issound.
If you do the math, it's likethere's only 4% of the world's
population are in the US.
And the logic is sound.
If you do the math, it's likethere's only 4% of the world's
population are in the US.
And at some point you knowyou're kind of dating, and there
are these peaks and valleys andlots of valleys.
So I thought, well, let me justexpand.
(00:55):
You know my horizons.
If I'm, if I'm really lookingfor love, then I should be
looking for love.
So I thought, well, I'll justI'll stick with the English
speaking countries first, Seelove.
So I thought, well, I'll justI'll stick with the English
speaking countries first andthen see how that goes.
You know, I'm half Mexican,half Scottish.
So I thought, all right, I'llstart there first and then we'll
see how that goes.
Maybe I'll drift over to theLatin countries.
(01:17):
Were the London lasses worth thetrip?
They were no solid loveconnections.
But I think we talked a littlebit about the one, the one that
I flew out for.
Yeah, I flew out for New Year'sEve.
We'd been chatting, we'dFaceTiming and she was enjoying
the fact that there was somedistance, because apparently
people have a tendency to justshow up unannounced.
(01:37):
And she was like so she's likeit's actually kind of nice
because I don't feel likethere's this pressure of needing
to connect with you soonerrather than later.
She's and I'm like well, I likeit from the perspective of um,
this eliminates that, thatphysical piece.
Right, you keep that at bay,because you know I'm a guy.
If we're sitting there having aconversation, at some point I'm
(02:00):
going to be like I wonder, Iwonder how she kisses.
You know what I mean.
And then you start to drift offand then you're not really
paying attention to theconversation start daydreaming
chemistry is a real thing, right?
I mean, pheromones, are thosethings are?
I mean, pheromones have gottenme into I can't say
relationships, but certainlythings have progressed because
(02:23):
the pheromone levels were high.
And then later on you're justlike oh well, that was fun, but
no long-term commitment you wenton a date with someone from
london, someone from scotland,someone from ireland which do
you prefer irish, scottishenglish.
You know I'm, my dad wasscottish, my mom's mex, I've got
(02:44):
.
You know the accents areawesome.
I think I do have an affinityfor the Scots.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I love the Scottish accent yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
What's the difference ?
We've talked about thedifference between dating
English guys and American guys.
What's the biggest differenceyou've noticed?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Men and women.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Women, I mean women.
Sorry, sorry, yes.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I'm focused.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I was just going to say you're not dating men also,
are you, henry?
Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
not that there's anything wrong with it, that's
fine.
Um there, it seems to me thatthe european women seem to be
more open.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Um, how so physically open?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
or you know.
So I I've been in operationsfor, you know, for 30 years and
so I have a tendency to kind ofreally deep dive into things and
start unpacking stuff.
And the women in Europe seem tohave a different approach and
there's a delineation between arelationship and sex and sex.
(03:49):
So they understand they kind ofdrive it that you know I can
have sex with you on first orsecond date.
That doesn't mean we're in arelationship.
That just means that I wantedto have sex and so you know
there's a.
There's a pretty strong linethere between that and what an
actual relationship is.
But they're also pretty quickto communicate that.
So there's not.
There's not a lot of guessworkIn my experience.
There's not a lot of guesswork.
In my experience there hasn'tbeen a lot of guesswork.
They want to meet soon, theywant to have a conversation and
(04:11):
they're really quick to let youknow whether or not you know
this is a love connection or not.
Or you know I don't see along-term fit, but hey, best of
luck.
And then they don't want to be.
I'm friends with most of thepeople that I've dated,
girlfriends included, um, andthey're not they're.
I got plenty of friends, I'vegot loads of friends.
I don't need any more friends.
But hey, best of luck, you know, hope things work out for you.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Such an interesting thing to say.
Best of luck mind the gap soare you.
On the dating apps here.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I'm on one, but it's on pause.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Why was it that bad?
It's just.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I'm sure we're going to cover this at some point, but
there's there's a diminishingreturn as you advance.
You know in life where thatbecomes, um, it's not, as I
don't want to say, lucrative,but when I hit 50, there was a
precipitous drop in my optionsand one of the things that I
(05:12):
determined, because, as I'mlooking through you know, you
get to choose your age range.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
So people are, you know, a lot of people are like,
well, you know, 50 is old andit's like, well, it could be.
You know, I remember seeing mydad at 50 and you know, and now
I'm, you know, I'm in that rangeand I it's not lost on me that
I look younger have you everthought about lying about your
age on that app?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
so you fall in that lower category I did lie.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
One time I did and I ended up I dated a couple I I
didn't lie.
Bad right, Well.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Shaved off just a couple years.
A lie, a lie, a lie.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I dropped myself into the like 48, 49 category to get
under the cutoff.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
But how do you explain that to someone that you
meet in person?
And things are going well, wellactually, in my case.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
So Hinge has been the most positive experience that
I've had, and I don't work forHinge, but they, you know, you
get to write in your answers.
So I made it a point to say I'm51.
You know, all my pictures arereal, they're completely
unfiltered, you know, pleasefeel free to ask for more
(06:22):
pictures.
But and I think I even had likea little video or a voiceover
just to say you know, hey,here's what I sound like, so
that we can get past that pointof you.
Know, am I okay hearing sweetnothings from this voice, or
does it sound like nails on achalkboard?
You know, oh, he's a fivedocket pack a day smoker.
Um, and I'm big on voices aswell.
When I hear a voice like,there's voices that attract me
(06:43):
and there's voices, you know,that make me go no.
I could probably go stand overhere.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
You make a good point , though, because when people,
when women, join a dating site,they choose what age range
they're looking for, and theyonly see men in that category,
but you look a lot younger thanyour age.
So it's kind of screwing you.
So that's kind of screwing you,so that's kind of not fair.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Right, you have so many missed opportunities of
love for both you and for somewomen.
How old do you?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
think that I look, I'm just curious.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I hate this game.
I hate this game.
You can't offend me.
You already know my age.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I would say mid-40s, I would also yes, but you know
what?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Now it makes sense because my sister she stated a
handful of guys that they saidthey were one age and then she
would look at their ID whenthey're out of the bar or
whatever.
And they lied.
They're actually older thanwhen they say it, but it was
only by a couple years.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
So that's why I think a lot of men do that.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
And it makes sense.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Oh, they add an inch somewhere.
You know what I mean I wouldnever.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Do you have to add an inch to your height too, henry?
No, no, I'm straight.
How tall are you?
Five, seven, so because that'sbad lying about your height,
because then when you meet themin person if you like that's my
point yes, and then you're five,seven, yes it's obvious.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
It is different to lie about your height, I think,
than to lie about your age,because your height is something
that is very obvious.
It's very obvious that you'velied about it once you meet in
person.
Whereas if you look the agethat you've said you are, it's
harder to tell you know it'sjust knowing.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That's the lie, it's the principle of the lie, you
know what's cringe to me, though, is I know some women that lie
about their age.
They say they're younger thanthey really are.
But I would prefer to say I'molder than I am, cause I want
people to say wow, you lookreally young for your age, not
the opposite.
If you say you're younger,they're probably thinking, dang,
she looks older at that age.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like I don't know, I feel likewe've moved on.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I think the advent of filters has been awful because
I can't.
And now?
So now I've gotten, I just you,just you know, guys are
notorious for swiping right andstatistically right 50, 50-ish
percent swipe right, while weswipe right 50% of the time to
(08:53):
clarify, but when I start seeingfilters it's just like I don't
know what I'm going to.
I'm not sure who I'm getting.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So I don't know why women do that.
Because aren't you embarrassedto meet them in person and for
them to see your true face afterthey've only seen filtered
pictures, you know?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
when I started dating .
I waited to date until my girlswere in high school and I
didn't start dating until theybrought it up Right around their
senior year.
I remember we were in thekitchen and I was giving it to
them pretty good when I walkedin the house from work, because
it was just a wreck and youcould tell everywhere.
(09:29):
You know, when you have kidsyou can tell where they've been.
There's just like dishes andtrash and stuff from everywhere.
And I was mad because I justgot home from work and I was
having to clean up and they wereboth in the.
I just remember they were both,both had a side-by-side
refrigerator One was in thefreezer and one was in the
refrigerator and they bothturned around and gave me this
look like their mother and theywere like you need to get a date
(09:51):
.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
And I'm like.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I know what you mean by that, and it's not nice.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
You need to get laid.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
That's what they really said, or you need to stop
being a helicopter dad.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
You need to get out more.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
They were like you need to whatever this tension is
that's going on we can't fix it.
You're going to need to gosomewhere.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
That's hilarious.
How were you meeting the womenoverseas?
Did you do like aninternational dating app?
Hinge Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah, once I learned you could drag and drop.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So what does that mean?
You can set locationpreferences on Hinge no princess
on him.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
No, you can pinch out uh-huh scroll over to the uk,
pinch in and go london.
And then let me tell you, whenI dropped myself in the middle
of london, it was ping, ping,ping, ping, ping, ping.
I had more women interested inme in the first three days than
I had here in four months that'sso interesting.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Why that is so interesting it?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
was?
It was off the chain.
I couldn't even explain it.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I was just like, oh all right, well, maybe I'm going
to be moving to london I wonderhow the scammers get onto the
dating apps then that's thatmust be how they do it I, if
they're on hinge.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Yeah, that's.
That's absolutely one of theways because, like I said, and
you know, hopefully hingedoesn't start charging for it.
But it was just, it was asimple thing to just drag and
drop.
Yeah, interesting, so somethinglike Edinburgh, glasgow, just
anyway.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
What about Brazil, south American?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
women isn't that beautiful, you know not, not
your cup of tea.
Well, don't get me wrong.
I think Latin women are amongthe most beautiful women in the
world, like percentage-wise.
But you know, latin is a prettybroad-based term, right?
But yeah, no, that's, they'rebeautiful, but Portuguese is so
difficult to learn.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
That's true, yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
It's like I speak Spanish, you know, and I dabble
in a couple of other languages,but Portuguese just eludes me
because it doesn't make anysense.
I don't even.
Is it a romance language?
Does it even fall in thecategory I?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
have no idea.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Because if you can speak Spanish, then you can
muddle through French, you canmuddle through Italian.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I'm learning Italian right now and it's much easier
to learn because I speak Spanishalso.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Are you Mexican?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
No, so a lot of the words are are similar.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
It's a lot.
It's an easy language to learn.
I'm learning Italian too.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
So, speaking of food, so you are retired, but you
have a hot dog cart, right?
I am in spirit of honesty, I'mnot retired, I got.
I got laid off from my thirdbank in 30 years and I just
realized this is what they do.
It's a cyclical process, right?
So right at the 10-year mark atevery one of these banks,
they're like oh, you're not atthe executive level and we need
to make some room, so got to go.
So I knew that there was fourlayoffs before they got to me
(12:44):
and they got me, me and I hit, Igot.
They got me on the fifth layoff.
So I knew it was coming, but Ialso knew that I wanted to start
this.
I've been wanting to do thishot dog stand for 25 years.
Henry's hot dogs.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Henry's.
I love that.
Is it a truck?
It's a food truck.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
It's a trailer.
Well, yeah, it's a smalltrailer and I've been eating at
the same hot dog stand up northjust outside of Chicago for
since I was about eight yearsold and I got laid off from one
of the first bank when I wasback in Texas and I had reached
out to the guy and asked him ifhe was interested in franchising
(13:20):
and he said no, why?
And I was like darn, I loveyour hot dogs, I've been eating
there forever.
I was just like where do youlive?
And I was like darn, I loveyour hot dogs, I've been eating
there forever.
I was just wondering.
He's like where do you live?
And I'm like, well, I'm fromTexas.
He was like, oh, he's like, hey, come down and work for a
couple of days and I'll justgive you all the stuff.
So I flew in.
Within six weeks of that, Iflew in and I worked morning one
(13:46):
.
One time he was like all right,get your notebook out.
And he gave me all of therecipes.
Wow, he gave me the homemadechili.
Chili dogs are my specialty.
Um, root beer from scratch.
He just gave me everything fornothing and he was just like
you're, you're no competition tome.
He's like it's true good forhim.
That's so nice the way that youused to do things when you were
just like no, you just helppeople out, it's like you're not
gonna bother me that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
So what it's?
What kind of?
What makes your hot dogsdifferent?
Like, why did you love thisspecific hot dog cart?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
the well.
It's the hot dog itself.
So I use a brand shout outekrich hot dogs.
They're a meat company up north, um, so the ekrich hot dogs
make the chili.
I make it fresh myself everyday, wow, um yeah, it just
tastes better.
It's got like six ingredientsin it and, it's amazing, it's my
number one seller, second onlyto, probably, the Chicago-style
(14:31):
dog.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's my favorite, I don't like ketchup.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
The Chicago dog.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
So no ketchup on my hot dog.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
I'm doing a Sonoran now too.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Oh, you are Well.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
I call it I was going to.
It was like it's like Sonoranadjacent.
I call it the almost Sonoran.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
What is Sonoran?
I've heard of those.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
It's a bacon-wrapped hot dog served on a bolillo bun
with pinto beans and crema andguacamole Toppings.
Yeah, lots of toppings.
So I call it the almost Sonoran, because I don't bacon wrap it,
but I cook bacon and chop itand then I keep it, so it's
topped with bacon and then Idon't do the pinto beans or the
(15:06):
big bolillo bun, but everythingelse is on it and I've got a
family salsa that I make and afamily guacamole that I make.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Where is this hot dog truck?
I want to try it.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Well, you guys need to come out to Rift Wine Bar and
Tap House.
I'm there two days a week.
So I'm there on Sundays from 12to 4 and Tuesdays from 5.30 to
8.30.
But I've, you know, I've workedat Goldwater Brewing, tt
Roadhouse 12.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
West, so you go outside of bars, rest bars, that
kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yes, I don't.
I'm not the guy that shows upand just posts up on a corner
Like I, I, I, you like contractwith places I get relationships
with them.
They don't pay me any money,like I just it's hey, you show
up, we can't guarantee whatyou're going to get, but here's
some good nights that we havepeople and it's been lucrative.
I know that everybody's like.
One of my friends is like Ijust know you're going to meet a
girl you know selling hot dogs.
(15:56):
I was like you want to try myextra special hot dog.
I've got all of the jokes.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Henry's like I've got a special off menu If you're
into that.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Tons of jokes.
Yeah, it's just like it's.
It's six inches but it'sfilling.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
It's just like I've been in old town, Scott, still
Like you have to you gotta, yougotta, you know, and people love
their food trucks.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Speaking of remember, when we went to coach house to
record our street stuff, I wasso mad because they always used
to have like a like a residentfood truck and we got there and
I hadn't eaten because I was soexcited.
I was like I'm going to getfood truck food.
And we got there and there wasno food truck there.
It's like what happened to thefood truck.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
People.
You know it's a big thing, andso the downside is is I'm
standing in front of a cart.
My goal is not to stand infront of a cart.
My goal is to develop two,three, four, five, six of these
and then do what I do, which ismanage the operations.
So I'm not trying to.
I was unloading my cart onenight and I've got a ring camera
and my little four foot 10Mexican mom.
(17:00):
She's like click, mijo.
And I was like yeah, mom, she'stalking to the ring camera.
She's like you need to stay outof the sun, mijo, you're
getting too dark.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
And I'm like mom.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Like I've been outside slinging hot dogs all
day.
Mom, what do you want from me?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
This time of year I'm pushing the hours to the
evenings to try to save my skin,Because, you know, I don't know
how long this young appearanceis going to last, but I don't
want to take any chances.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
So are you looking to get married again?
Are you looking for somethingserious?
You know what's funny.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
When I got divorced.
I got divorced back in 2009.
And it was the.
I don't know what it's going totake.
I don't know what it would takefor a woman to get me to get
married again.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Really, I don't know what it would take for a woman
to get me to get married againReally Right.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
But that's a lot of time that's passed.
I've met some you know, somelovely people along the way and
now I'm kind of back on the no,I think, the right person.
I would absolutely want to getmarried.
Either get married or at thevery least, do like a cool
ceremony with all our friendsand family, where you're just
committing to each other Rightthe downside, with all our
(18:03):
friends and family, where you'rejust committing to each other
right the the downside, I think,is that, um, how do you manage
through like the medicalcommunity, because you're not,
you're not married, legallymarried, right, yeah, because
there's rights that people haveand then you don't.
So unless you qualify themsomehow, then you know your
family, you know who you may ormay not like is common, is
common law marriage?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
do you get the same rights as legal married if in
terms of like power of attorneyand medical power of attorney
and things like that?
Speaker 3 (18:32):
I think you can do power of attorney, medical power
of attorney with anyone.
I'm not the attorney.
But for common law marriage Ithink it's possible, but you
have to go down weird thing.
You have to go down to thecourthouse and then go, we're
common law marriage.
I think it's possible, but youhave to go down weird thing.
You have to go down to thecourthouse and then go, we're
common law married and it's like, well, if you're going to do
that, then you might as welljust do a marriage license or
whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah, do you have any crazy date stories.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Oh gosh, you know, back when I was originally, when
I was first trying this outplenty of fish Um, I bet 80, 80
of the women that I met onplenty of fish weren't honest
about their appearance.
I mean, eight out of eight outof ten, nine out of ten dates I
would show up.
And I'm not looking for asupermodel, I just I'm.
(19:15):
I want someone who just paysattention like I do.
Right, you're reasonably fit,that's it.
And however you get there, Idon't, I don't, I don't care how
you, if you want to walk, ifyou want to run, if you want to
go to the gym, whatever.
But I was meeting up with peopleand they would be 30, 40, 50
pounds over their pictures.
And then you show up and I'mlike, hey, not for nothing, if,
(19:39):
if you and I got together andthen you put on 50 pounds, I'm
already in love with you and I'min love with your identity,
which is here, right.
So that's a very differentthing than we're meeting for the
first time to develop somechemistry and some, you know,
attraction, and then all thepictures that you showed me show
you know you're, you knowcatching fish or you know
(19:59):
running through the mountains,and then you show up and you're
five feet tall and you knowyou're just out here getting fat
fish.
Henry, I almost wore a hat and Ididn't want anybody to think I
was hat fishing anybody, so Iwas like, no, I'll just leave
the hat at home.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Are you ready for it?
I'm ready for it.
No, the keep more minutebrought to you by tactical tax
strategies help you keep more inyour wallet.
We help you keep more in yourrelationship.
So we have a listener question.
Yeah, nothing to worry about.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I thought it was gonna be something along the
whole.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Just some advice, no all right, so this question okay
, so this is a social mediaquestion says he sends fire
nudes but forgets my birthday.
We've been hooking up formonths and while the pics are
always on point, he ghosted meon my birthday.
Can you be someone's favoritefantasy without being their
(20:52):
priority?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
makes me think he's only with her for one reason,
right like he doesn't payattention.
He's not listening well.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Also, it says we've been hooking up for months, not
we've been dating for months somaybe they're on different pages
.
It sounds like he doesn't evenknow when her birthday is like
maybe they haven't even had thatconversation do you someone
that you're just having afriends with benefits situation
with?
Do you even?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
it's true, do you?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
even go that deep, like do you even talk about your
birthdays?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
yeah, I think they need to have a conversation and
chat about what are we, what areour expectations.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
I think there's some conflicting information there
that I do too.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
I think her expectations are unrealistic now
if there's two years of thisright.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Where you've got, you've cycled through a birthday
or two.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's a whole other thing it is and like for me, I I
always remember birthdays, soit's like birthdays stick with
me.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
So someone tells me their birthday, I typically
remember it.
But but really care isn'treally interested.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
I think if they were if it sounds like to your point
it's.
It's a bit of a situation, shit, but I think that if you know,
if you really wanted to make himremember it, you would have
been like so on my birthday I'mgoing to give you a gift, you
know, click, click, click andthen, and then he's like tally
ho, let's go.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
You do like the whipped cream bikini thing, like
in the birthday.
She could have been like it'smy birthday, do you have a big?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
package for me.
You can unwrap my present, sowe're going to discuss these
videos on tiktok.
It was hilarious reasons todate.
A short king, so many videos.
So all women that we interviewwere like what are your criteria
?
They all say, oh, I want a tallguy, I want a guy that's over
six foot.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Right.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
But here are some lists I found that state why you
should date a short king.
So studies show that shiningqualities like height, looks,
profession none of theseactually matter when it comes to
fulfillment and happiness in along-term relationship.
You're overlooking the greatqualities because of these
superficial qualities that don'tmatter.
So short Kings are 32% lesslikely to get divorced.
(23:09):
Crazy.
They do more around the house,they earn more money and they
have a higher frequency ofbedroom boinking.
Is that true?
Is your stamina a little higherthan average?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I've got a whole story around that.
But yes, I'm, I've got.
I'm not on any replacementtherapy, no TRT or anything.
I've got zero problems.
It's usually the complaint.
The ex-wife complained.
She was like gosh, I thoughtwhen you got into your 40s this
would fall off.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
She's like this is worse.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I'm like.
So I told her.
I was like you should talk toyour friends and see.
And all of her friends werelike your husband still wants to
have sex with you.
Like that's amazing, we wouldkill.
And she was upset.
I left her alone one time justto prove a point.
I just didn't bother her at allabout having sex.
And one morning it was like aSunday morning she was like you
(24:00):
want to do it?
She's like it's been a while.
I was like it's been six weeksand she was like no, it hasn't.
I went in and secretly markedthe calendar on the refrigerator
.
I went and grabbed the, grabbedthe calendar off the fridge.
I was like six weeks.
I'm like this is what I'mtalking about.
If, if I do everything that I'msupposed to do and I leave you
to your own devices, it's goingto be six weeks, and six weeks
doesn't work for me meanwhile, tlevels are like off the charts
(24:22):
funny yeah, they are
Speaker 2 (24:24):
also what constitutes short king.
So is it like yeah, is it likefive, eight and below.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I have no clue is it because I'm pretty sure the
average, the average height ofthe american man, like five
seven five, nine or somethingthat I think it's like five,
seven, I think women is five too, yeah, so it's not really short
, cause there are a lot of womenthat are five feet.
Five feet.
One five feet too, right, right.
So I don't know, but there wasthis trend going around with
(24:55):
short Kings, where short guyswould do these videos to this
song, a specific song, um, andsome of the things are just
hilarious, usually ripped, oftenrich to compensate for their
height, easy to throw out whatthey're making fun of themselves
.
Some of them, they're more fun.
We can fit into kids shoes.
So think about the money.
Say it's true, actually.
(25:16):
Uh, you know, they say aboutdown low, it's true.
One guy was like we can crawlunder the sink and fix your
plumbing.
Can tall guys do that?
No step stools exist, so we cancrawl under the sink and fix
your plumbing.
Can tall guys do that?
No step stools exist, so I canget to the top shelf in the
cupboard, but they can't go downunder.
That's forced.
We're more fun to cuddle.
You can wrap me up.
We will never cheat.
We respect what we've got.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
We will never look down on you I love they're
saying a short man will nevercheat, come on um.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
And then a bunch of girls posted a video and they
were like tall guys know thatthey're hot, so they don't try,
they don't have a personality.
Short kings are funny,courageous, they have hot bodies
and they have a way bettercharacter.
And then a woman posted atiktok and was like these are
the reasons you should date ashort king you won't have to
crane your neck, you can shareclothes.
They're less whiny about legroom on long flights.
(26:04):
Being short is good for theenvironment.
Wow, I have no idea.
Strangers in public may thinkhe's proposing, even when he's
not, which leads to freechampagne.
Tall guys are always talkingdown to you.
And short kings are good forrock climbing, because it's
better to be the same heightwhen you go rock climbing.
(26:25):
I thought it was kind of funny,interesting wow interesting,
interesting list.
Where is your favorite place togo on a first date?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
gosh, you know it's dependent on the woman.
To be honest with you, I'd liketo get through the texting
piece as quickly as possible, atAt least get on the phone call,
cause I do believe.
I mean, you know I've heardsome people's voices.
I'm sure they've heard mine.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
They were like do you do FaceTime before you meet in
person?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
When you meet someone , I personally don't mind doing
FaceTime.
I don't see why more people dothat so you know, I don't know
if we're ready for a phone callyet Like I'd like to talk a
little bit more and I'm likethis is an awful, like I've got
(27:10):
a theory on this.
I call it.
You know, do you want to readthe book?
Do you want to go to the movie?
When you read that book prior toseeing it if it were ever
adapted to a movie you'redeveloping these characters
based on your experiences inyour mind, and then you go to
the movie and then what do mostpeople say?
(27:32):
Oh, the book was way better.
Well, that's because you builtout the relationship in the book
, right?
When you go to the movies,you're going to the movies and
you're seeing someone else'sinterpretation of that book,
right?
So if you spent, when you gettogether somebody, you're like,
you're nothing like.
You're nothing like what Ithought.
You're a hundred percent right,I'm nothing like what you
(27:52):
thought, because you've been,you've been writing this play of
who we are and what we're goingto be about.
And then you show up and thenyou find out that things are
different than the characterthat you drew out.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
So go to see the movie.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Yeah, go to see the movie, like let's get to the
movie sooner rather than laterand then we can go back and read
the book later and then buildout, you know, you know, a
deeper relationship and aconnection.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yeah, I love that.
So now it's time for thecelebrity cut, where we marinate
in the juices of thecelebrities.
So you know that megan marklecame out with a jam, right as
ever.
Do you follow megan markle?
Or so she came out with a jamand it got pretty bad reviews.
And there was an article fromdonna collins.
Have you heard this, donnacollins?
She's the jelly queen.
(28:36):
She was on masterchef, one ofthe winners in masterchef.
Um, she has this website calledthe Jelly Queen, so she's jam
is literally her jam.
Anyways, apparently she came upwith a video that stated Meghan
Markle's jam, it's not a jam,it's a spread.
And I did a video on the TikTokvideo.
On this.
Donald Collins reached out to meand said oh my Jesus, lady from
Texas, so sweet and cute andshe's like.
(28:57):
I feel so bad because I can't'tdo the Texas accent.
But I got a call from areporter.
They were asking me technicalquestions about the jam.
So I was answering thesetechnical questions.
I've never even tried MeghanMarkle's jam.
They just use my words to skewthe article to make it seem like
I was talking about MeghanMarkle's jam.
Anyhow, she's doing achampionship at the World Food
(29:21):
Championship, where she's doinga championship at the world food
championship, where she's doinga blind taste test and she
wants megan marco's jam in theblind taste test.
She came to me and asked moi tobe a judge.
Oh my god that's awesomehilarious I'm gonna be a judge
in a championship.
That was not on my 2025 bingocard and I have to take a
certified course so I can be acertified jam judge.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Oh my God, that's so funny.
It's in Texas.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
It's actually in Indianapolis, I think.
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
But isn't that hilarious, yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I'm trying to get my hands on some of Meghan Markle's
, because she can't get the jambecause it's all sold out.
So if anyone out there has anextra jar of Meghan Markle's jam
, please send it our way, dm me.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Isn't that hilarious?
Yeah, what a cool thing though,because I mean, who doesn't?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
love jam.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Well, I love jam.
Is it at like?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
the.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Indiana State Fair or something it is.
Oh, you're going to have somuch fun.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
A few championships, and then they have the
championship there.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
State fairs in the Midwest are the best.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Are they really.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yes, west are the best.
Are they really?
Yes?
Speaker 3 (30:24):
recently, a video went viral of the husband
calling contest at the iowastate fair, and as someone who
grew up in iowa, I will tell youlike the women were spot on.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yeah so a husband, call husband.
Like when you have to call yourhusband in from doing chores.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Like when supper's ready right when supper's ready
and you're calling him out onthe farm you're calling.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
You know that is funny.
They're like yelling into themicrophone I wonder how many
husbands.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Yeah, I'll hold, I'll be right there.
State fair texas.
Shout out to texas state fairtexas.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
It's the largest state fair in the us everything
is is bigger in Texas, right,don't they say that?
Yeah, a little bit yeah, andaren't the properties there so
much cheaper?
In Texas yes, and bigger.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
I'm like thinking of where my sister and
brother-in-law live, and it'sthe same as everywhere.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Yeah, but they're fancy.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
They are fancy.
Yeah, they're in a fancy, fancyparty town.
It depends on where you are.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Yeah, it is less expensive there.
The difference is is all theland in Texas is basically
private.
There's no BLM.
So I you know coming here andthen going, wait, I can just
walk out to the who owns this.
They're like the BLM does, youcan just go anywhere.
So that's the difference.
But the difference, but youknow, there's no state tax in
(31:45):
texas.
Um, most of your taxes aregoing to go to the school system
and I've got zero problems withthe with, you know, educational
system being beefed up.
So it's like sure, why not?
I don't have a problem with it.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
But um, so we get a lot of people complaining about
dating in scottsdale.
Do you see?
Do you date many scottsdalegirls?
Do you date in scottsdale?
What's your?
Speaker 3 (31:58):
opinion, I don't hit any of the requirements that, uh
, that they have the six, whatdo you say?
the three sixes, the six footsix inches, six figures well, I
meet two of those three ain'tbad, you know, that's six foot,
that's their number one, likethat's their start off point,
and it's like, well, I can't.
(32:19):
Six feet we talked about this.
What?
12 to 14% of the population ofthe US is six feet tall.
Hey, congratulations.
But you're just going to beunhappy because you've got all
of these women going for 10% ofthe men.
It's like you're not all goingto get them, or you're going to
get them, and then you're goingto be mad because, well, I can't
believe you cheated.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
He's like well, well, all these girls want six
footers.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Like he's just sitting back like next, and you
know, serving number 29.
You know, obviously short kingsare better for the environment.
So like exactly, and we're allabout the environment nowadays,
right?
Speaker 3 (32:53):
maybe it's methane or something.
Who?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
knows, I don't know what it is.
They need like longer clothes,so they need more fabric, so it
creates.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Tall guys are gassier .
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
So why didn't it work out with your ex?
If you don't mind me asking.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
I've been, so I've done a lot of work and continue
to do work, because I justcontinue to.
You know, I was just in along-term relationship that
ended last year and found outsome new things that I didn't
expect yeah, for me personally.
So what the therapist that wehad that brought up was she was
(33:30):
like your dysfunction is whatbrought you guys together, but,
untreated, it's what drove youapart.
So had you been able to managethrough some of your challenges,
you know, had done a deep diveinto what your individual
challenges are, yeah, therelationship probably would have
worked out.
I mean, we were together for 21years.
Did you guys try therapytogether or no?
(33:55):
Did you not start?
I was no, no, no, I we I didtherapy together.
Yeah, yeah, she, she had somenegative experiences from being,
um, you know, when she wasyounger, from therapy, so she
wasn't as tuned into it.
Um, me, I've never had it and I, you know, I'm constantly
searching for, well, what can Ido better?
Um, so, but she, you know, sheattended, she, you know, she
made an effort.
Um, I just kept going because,you know, I realized I've got
(34:17):
some stuff to unpack, um, andthen have unpacked quite a bit
of it.
So, you know, when you see alot of that on on the dating
apps, they'll be like you know,I've done the work and I'm
looking for the same and it'slike, well, if you said you've
done the work, you might not bea good fit for me because it's
not over.
Yeah, every new interactionbrings some new opportunity to
(34:38):
find some new button that maybeyou know is an old button but
it's new now because it justtook the right person to kind of
to, you know, to bring it outand whether or not that's going
to be problematic for you or not.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
So, and anybody can say that they've done the work
yeah just like anybody can saythey're six, one, it's, it's
very true.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Now it's time to get to know you with zoyo, sponsored
by zoyo, your neighborhoodyogurt.
Pick the top card and answerthe question at your own risk.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Let's see.
Have you ever had sex with morethan one person in a day?
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Ooh spicy one.
The answer is yes.
Yes, what More than two?
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Yes, what?
Listen, I was young, it was along time ago.
I may or may not have danced indallas um like at a club back
yeah, like gogo dancing, likemagic mic dancing it was a long
time listen.
This is not, so don't judge meon this.
(35:45):
For then, what did you?
Speaker 1 (35:46):
have to wear Thong.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
So, yes, my little getup was that I would be
bussing tables Because it was,you know, it was kind of upscale
.
So you'd have, like this dothey even have them these days?
A bolo like a bolo jacket, it'slike a waist-length jacket, and
you know, you had a bow tie andyou know, shirt and whatever.
And then they would announce meand then I would be like, oh my
(36:10):
gosh, right now, and I put thetray down and I would go up, and
then so the jacket would comeoff and it would be what do they
call it?
Is it a dickie or whatever?
It would just be the piece ofthe shirt.
Well, not, I would pull thedickie off and then what would
be left would be the bow tie andthe collar, and then the pants
(36:31):
were.
You know, they were velcro pantsyeah, just tear away pants, and
then yeah, so, and then I hadthe little call the cuffs.
The cuffs stayed on, so I hadthese little cuffs that is
hilarious.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
How long did you do that for?
Speaker 3 (36:46):
just, uh, just a of years.
And then I ended up meeting.
You know, at the time I endedup meeting my wife, Not while
that was going on, but I was atthe club and you know I was
young.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
I think that should be another off-menu special at
your hot dog truck.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
If there's a suggestion box for Henry's hot
dogs, I think it should beanother off menu.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Did you make good money doing that?
I bet the money was good.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Um, I did, Okay, but listen, you know I'm I'm pretty
comfortable in, in knowing whereI stand, you know, in terms of
attractiveness and, um, therewere some dudes there that they
were you might've you could havejust been gay like they were.
Just they would walk in, you'rejust like, really like, all
right, well, tips are going tobe gone because you know this
(37:39):
guy is chiseled and you knowblonde hair, blue eyed, and you
know the perfect marlboromustache and you know, and a
bunch of those guys they woulddance.
So there's two types of guys abunch of those guys they would
dance.
So there's two types of guys.
There were the gay guys thatwould come over, that were super
stupid, hot, but would comeover because they were working
to get money, but they alsoworked at the gay clubs.
And then there were straightguys who would go to the gay
(38:00):
clubs because the money at thegay clubs was way better.
I never transitioned over had,if I, you know, if I could go
back to my younger self, I'd belike dude, you need to go and
work at the gay clubs.
You would have killed.
Yeah, because I think over, youknow, in the gay community I
think I'm like an otter orsomething like that.
They're just like here we go.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Were the women crazy?
Speaker 3 (38:24):
yes, I it's funny because I'm now you.
You know I'm I'm tuned in.
You know I've got daughters andI, you know I've done the work,
I've read the books, you know,and I I do like a women's
self-defense thing for runnersand stuff and so I pay attention
.
I realized that you guys livein a very different world than
we do.
If if these guys were to sitdown and just talk to you and
(38:47):
just ask you what your day lookslike when you go to the gas
pump or you go to, they'd findout horrible things about the
way men behave right.
So I think I just got lost in myanswer.
What was the question again?
Speaker 1 (39:00):
With a woman, crazy, yes.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
So now I look back and I'm like, oh, I bet you,
that's what a woman's day lookslike, right, either visually or
you know, or physically.
But yeah, no, they had zeroproblems getting a handful or
looking for change I mean theyput a dollar in.
You're like you're not gettingthree quarters back.
What are you doing?
Did you have a signature move?
Yeah, there was this.
(39:22):
There mirrored this one otherguy, this, uh, this he was the
only black dancer I knew, but Imean he was, the was just
shredded and he was such a goodtime and we both.
I danced at a school ofperforming arts for a little bit
, so I did jazz and ballet andhe did something very similar.
So, yeah, we had this littlemove that we could do, and then
(39:43):
we could do that move, and thenboth of us could nail like six
pirouettes in a row.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Wow, impressive, that is impressive.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
And then just nail it and just boom and just stop,
and then you'd hit that pose andthen do a little plank, the
women would go crazy.
Yeah, it was ridiculous.

take a girl out on a first date.
I did, and you do that often.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Tell us about that I just, there's 8 billion people
on the planet and the logic issound.
If you do the math, it's likethere's only 4% of the world's
population are in the US.
And the logic is sound.
If you do the math, it's likethere's only 4% of the world's
population are in the US.
And at some point you knowyou're kind of dating, and there
are these peaks and valleys andlots of valleys.
So I thought, well, let me justexpand.
(00:55):
You know my horizons.
If I'm, if I'm really lookingfor love, then I should be
looking for love.
So I thought, well, I'll justI'll stick with the English
speaking countries first, Seelove.
So I thought, well, I'll justI'll stick with the English
speaking countries first andthen see how that goes.
You know, I'm half Mexican,half Scottish.
So I thought, all right, I'llstart there first and then we'll
see how that goes.
Maybe I'll drift over to theLatin countries.
(01:17):
Were the London lasses worth thetrip?
They were no solid loveconnections.
But I think we talked a littlebit about the one, the one that
I flew out for.
Yeah, I flew out for New Year'sEve.
We'd been chatting, we'dFaceTiming and she was enjoying
the fact that there was somedistance, because apparently
people have a tendency to justshow up unannounced.
(01:37):
And she was like so she's likeit's actually kind of nice
because I don't feel likethere's this pressure of needing
to connect with you soonerrather than later.
She's and I'm like well, I likeit from the perspective of um,
this eliminates that, thatphysical piece.
Right, you keep that at bay,because you know I'm a guy.
If we're sitting there having aconversation, at some point I'm
(02:00):
going to be like I wonder, Iwonder how she kisses.
You know what I mean.
And then you start to drift offand then you're not really
paying attention to theconversation start daydreaming
chemistry is a real thing, right?
I mean, pheromones, are thosethings are?
I mean, pheromones have gottenme into I can't say
relationships, but certainlythings have progressed because
(02:23):
the pheromone levels were high.
And then later on you're justlike oh well, that was fun, but
no long-term commitment you wenton a date with someone from
london, someone from scotland,someone from ireland which do
you prefer irish, scottishenglish.
You know I'm, my dad wasscottish, my mom's mex, I've got
(02:44):
.
You know the accents areawesome.
I think I do have an affinityfor the Scots.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I love the Scottish accent yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
What's the difference ?
We've talked about thedifference between dating
English guys and American guys.
What's the biggest differenceyou've noticed?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Men and women.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Women, I mean women.
Sorry, sorry, yes.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I'm focused.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I was just going to say you're not dating men also,
are you, henry?
Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
not that there's anything wrong with it, that's
fine.
Um there, it seems to me thatthe european women seem to be
more open.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Um, how so physically open?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
or you know.
So I I've been in operationsfor, you know, for 30 years and
so I have a tendency to kind ofreally deep dive into things and
start unpacking stuff.
And the women in Europe seem tohave a different approach and
there's a delineation between arelationship and sex and sex.
(03:49):
So they understand they kind ofdrive it that you know I can
have sex with you on first orsecond date.
That doesn't mean we're in arelationship.
That just means that I wantedto have sex and so you know
there's a.
There's a pretty strong linethere between that and what an
actual relationship is.
But they're also pretty quickto communicate that.
So there's not.
There's not a lot of guessworkIn my experience.
There's not a lot of guesswork.
In my experience there hasn'tbeen a lot of guesswork.
They want to meet soon, theywant to have a conversation and
(04:11):
they're really quick to let youknow whether or not you know
this is a love connection or not.
Or you know I don't see along-term fit, but hey, best of
luck.
And then they don't want to be.
I'm friends with most of thepeople that I've dated,
girlfriends included, um, andthey're not they're.
I got plenty of friends, I'vegot loads of friends.
I don't need any more friends.
But hey, best of luck, you know, hope things work out for you.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Such an interesting thing to say.
Best of luck mind the gap soare you.
On the dating apps here.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I'm on one, but it's on pause.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Why was it that bad?
It's just.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I'm sure we're going to cover this at some point, but
there's there's a diminishingreturn as you advance.
You know in life where thatbecomes, um, it's not, as I
don't want to say, lucrative,but when I hit 50, there was a
precipitous drop in my optionsand one of the things that I
(05:12):
determined, because, as I'mlooking through you know, you
get to choose your age range.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
So people are, you know, a lot of people are like,
well, you know, 50 is old andit's like, well, it could be.
You know, I remember seeing mydad at 50 and you know, and now
I'm, you know, I'm in that rangeand I it's not lost on me that
I look younger have you everthought about lying about your
age on that app?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
so you fall in that lower category I did lie.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
One time I did and I ended up I dated a couple I I
didn't lie.
Bad right, Well.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Shaved off just a couple years.
A lie, a lie, a lie.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I dropped myself into the like 48, 49 category to get
under the cutoff.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
But how do you explain that to someone that you
meet in person?
And things are going well, wellactually, in my case.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
So Hinge has been the most positive experience that
I've had, and I don't work forHinge, but they, you know, you
get to write in your answers.
So I made it a point to say I'm51.
You know, all my pictures arereal, they're completely
unfiltered, you know, pleasefeel free to ask for more
(06:22):
pictures.
But and I think I even had likea little video or a voiceover
just to say you know, hey,here's what I sound like, so
that we can get past that pointof you.
Know, am I okay hearing sweetnothings from this voice, or
does it sound like nails on achalkboard?
You know, oh, he's a fivedocket pack a day smoker.
Um, and I'm big on voices aswell.
When I hear a voice like,there's voices that attract me
(06:43):
and there's voices, you know,that make me go no.
I could probably go stand overhere.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
You make a good point , though, because when people,
when women, join a dating site,they choose what age range
they're looking for, and theyonly see men in that category,
but you look a lot younger thanyour age.
So it's kind of screwing you.
So that's kind of screwing you,so that's kind of not fair.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Right, you have so many missed opportunities of
love for both you and for somewomen.
How old do you?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
think that I look, I'm just curious.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I hate this game.
I hate this game.
You can't offend me.
You already know my age.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I would say mid-40s, I would also yes, but you know
what?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Now it makes sense because my sister she stated a
handful of guys that they saidthey were one age and then she
would look at their ID whenthey're out of the bar or
whatever.
And they lied.
They're actually older thanwhen they say it, but it was
only by a couple years.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
So that's why I think a lot of men do that.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
And it makes sense.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Oh, they add an inch somewhere.
You know what I mean I wouldnever.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Do you have to add an inch to your height too, henry?
No, no, I'm straight.
How tall are you?
Five, seven, so because that'sbad lying about your height,
because then when you meet themin person if you like that's my
point yes, and then you're five,seven, yes it's obvious.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
It is different to lie about your height, I think,
than to lie about your age,because your height is something
that is very obvious.
It's very obvious that you'velied about it once you meet in
person.
Whereas if you look the agethat you've said you are, it's
harder to tell you know it'sjust knowing.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That's the lie, it's the principle of the lie, you
know what's cringe to me, though, is I know some women that lie
about their age.
They say they're younger thanthey really are.
But I would prefer to say I'molder than I am, cause I want
people to say wow, you lookreally young for your age, not
the opposite.
If you say you're younger,they're probably thinking, dang,
she looks older at that age.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like I don't know, I feel likewe've moved on.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I think the advent of filters has been awful because
I can't.
And now?
So now I've gotten, I just you,just you know, guys are
notorious for swiping right andstatistically right 50, 50-ish
percent swipe right, while weswipe right 50% of the time to
(08:53):
clarify, but when I start seeingfilters it's just like I don't
know what I'm going to.
I'm not sure who I'm getting.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So I don't know why women do that.
Because aren't you embarrassedto meet them in person and for
them to see your true face afterthey've only seen filtered
pictures, you know?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
when I started dating .
I waited to date until my girlswere in high school and I
didn't start dating until theybrought it up Right around their
senior year.
I remember we were in thekitchen and I was giving it to
them pretty good when I walkedin the house from work, because
it was just a wreck and youcould tell everywhere.
(09:29):
You know, when you have kidsyou can tell where they've been.
There's just like dishes andtrash and stuff from everywhere.
And I was mad because I justgot home from work and I was
having to clean up and they wereboth in the.
I just remember they were both,both had a side-by-side
refrigerator One was in thefreezer and one was in the
refrigerator and they bothturned around and gave me this
look like their mother and theywere like you need to get a date
(09:51):
.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
And I'm like.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I know what you mean by that, and it's not nice.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
You need to get laid.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
That's what they really said, or you need to stop
being a helicopter dad.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
You need to get out more.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
They were like you need to whatever this tension is
that's going on we can't fix it.
You're going to need to gosomewhere.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
That's hilarious.
How were you meeting the womenoverseas?
Did you do like aninternational dating app?
Hinge Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah, once I learned you could drag and drop.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So what does that mean?
You can set locationpreferences on Hinge no princess
on him.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
No, you can pinch out uh-huh scroll over to the uk,
pinch in and go london.
And then let me tell you, whenI dropped myself in the middle
of london, it was ping, ping,ping, ping, ping, ping.
I had more women interested inme in the first three days than
I had here in four months that'sso interesting.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Why that is so interesting it?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
was?
It was off the chain.
I couldn't even explain it.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I was just like, oh all right, well, maybe I'm going
to be moving to london I wonderhow the scammers get onto the
dating apps then that's thatmust be how they do it I, if
they're on hinge.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Yeah, that's.
That's absolutely one of theways because, like I said, and
you know, hopefully hingedoesn't start charging for it.
But it was just, it was asimple thing to just drag and
drop.
Yeah, interesting, so somethinglike Edinburgh, glasgow, just
anyway.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
What about Brazil, south American?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
women isn't that beautiful, you know not, not
your cup of tea.
Well, don't get me wrong.
I think Latin women are amongthe most beautiful women in the
world, like percentage-wise.
But you know, latin is a prettybroad-based term, right?
But yeah, no, that's, they'rebeautiful, but Portuguese is so
difficult to learn.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
That's true, yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
It's like I speak Spanish, you know, and I dabble
in a couple of other languages,but Portuguese just eludes me
because it doesn't make anysense.
I don't even.
Is it a romance language?
Does it even fall in thecategory I?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
have no idea.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Because if you can speak Spanish, then you can
muddle through French, you canmuddle through Italian.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I'm learning Italian right now and it's much easier
to learn because I speak Spanishalso.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Are you Mexican?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
No, so a lot of the words are are similar.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
It's a lot.
It's an easy language to learn.
I'm learning Italian too.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
So, speaking of food, so you are retired, but you
have a hot dog cart, right?
I am in spirit of honesty, I'mnot retired, I got.
I got laid off from my thirdbank in 30 years and I just
realized this is what they do.
It's a cyclical process, right?
So right at the 10-year mark atevery one of these banks,
they're like oh, you're not atthe executive level and we need
to make some room, so got to go.
So I knew that there was fourlayoffs before they got to me
(12:44):
and they got me, me and I hit, Igot.
They got me on the fifth layoff.
So I knew it was coming, but Ialso knew that I wanted to start
this.
I've been wanting to do thishot dog stand for 25 years.
Henry's hot dogs.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Henry's.
I love that.
Is it a truck?
It's a food truck.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
It's a trailer.
Well, yeah, it's a smalltrailer and I've been eating at
the same hot dog stand up northjust outside of Chicago for
since I was about eight yearsold and I got laid off from one
of the first bank when I wasback in Texas and I had reached
out to the guy and asked him ifhe was interested in franchising
(13:20):
and he said no, why?
And I was like darn, I loveyour hot dogs, I've been eating
there forever.
I was just like where do youlive?
And I was like darn, I loveyour hot dogs, I've been eating
there forever.
I was just wondering.
He's like where do you live?
And I'm like, well, I'm fromTexas.
He was like, oh, he's like, hey, come down and work for a
couple of days and I'll justgive you all the stuff.
So I flew in.
Within six weeks of that, Iflew in and I worked morning one
(13:46):
.
One time he was like all right,get your notebook out.
And he gave me all of therecipes.
Wow, he gave me the homemadechili.
Chili dogs are my specialty.
Um, root beer from scratch.
He just gave me everything fornothing and he was just like
you're, you're no competition tome.
He's like it's true good forhim.
That's so nice the way that youused to do things when you were
just like no, you just helppeople out, it's like you're not
gonna bother me that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
So what it's?
What kind of?
What makes your hot dogsdifferent?
Like, why did you love thisspecific hot dog cart?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
the well.
It's the hot dog itself.
So I use a brand shout outekrich hot dogs.
They're a meat company up north, um, so the ekrich hot dogs
make the chili.
I make it fresh myself everyday, wow, um yeah, it just
tastes better.
It's got like six ingredientsin it and, it's amazing, it's my
number one seller, second onlyto, probably, the Chicago-style
(14:31):
dog.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's my favorite, I don't like ketchup.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
The Chicago dog.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
So no ketchup on my hot dog.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
I'm doing a Sonoran now too.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Oh, you are Well.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
I call it I was going to.
It was like it's like Sonoranadjacent.
I call it the almost Sonoran.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
What is Sonoran?
I've heard of those.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
It's a bacon-wrapped hot dog served on a bolillo bun
with pinto beans and crema andguacamole Toppings.
Yeah, lots of toppings.
So I call it the almost Sonoran, because I don't bacon wrap it,
but I cook bacon and chop itand then I keep it, so it's
topped with bacon and then Idon't do the pinto beans or the
(15:06):
big bolillo bun, but everythingelse is on it and I've got a
family salsa that I make and afamily guacamole that I make.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Where is this hot dog truck?
I want to try it.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Well, you guys need to come out to Rift Wine Bar and
Tap House.
I'm there two days a week.
So I'm there on Sundays from 12to 4 and Tuesdays from 5.30 to
8.30.
But I've, you know, I've workedat Goldwater Brewing, tt
Roadhouse 12.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
West, so you go outside of bars, rest bars, that
kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yes, I don't.
I'm not the guy that shows upand just posts up on a corner
Like I, I, I, you like contractwith places I get relationships
with them.
They don't pay me any money,like I just it's hey, you show
up, we can't guarantee whatyou're going to get, but here's
some good nights that we havepeople and it's been lucrative.
I know that everybody's like.
One of my friends is like Ijust know you're going to meet a
girl you know selling hot dogs.
(15:56):
I was like you want to try myextra special hot dog.
I've got all of the jokes.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Henry's like I've got a special off menu If you're
into that.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Tons of jokes.
Yeah, it's just like it's.
It's six inches but it'sfilling.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
It's just like I've been in old town, Scott, still
Like you have to you gotta, yougotta, you know, and people love
their food trucks.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Speaking of remember, when we went to coach house to
record our street stuff, I wasso mad because they always used
to have like a like a residentfood truck and we got there and
I hadn't eaten because I was soexcited.
I was like I'm going to getfood truck food.
And we got there and there wasno food truck there.
It's like what happened to thefood truck.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
People.
You know it's a big thing, andso the downside is is I'm
standing in front of a cart.
My goal is not to stand infront of a cart.
My goal is to develop two,three, four, five, six of these
and then do what I do, which ismanage the operations.
So I'm not trying to.
I was unloading my cart onenight and I've got a ring camera
and my little four foot 10Mexican mom.
(17:00):
She's like click, mijo.
And I was like yeah, mom, she'stalking to the ring camera.
She's like you need to stay outof the sun, mijo, you're
getting too dark.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
And I'm like mom.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Like I've been outside slinging hot dogs all
day.
Mom, what do you want from me?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
This time of year I'm pushing the hours to the
evenings to try to save my skin,Because, you know, I don't know
how long this young appearanceis going to last, but I don't
want to take any chances.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
So are you looking to get married again?
Are you looking for somethingserious?
You know what's funny.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
When I got divorced.
I got divorced back in 2009.
And it was the.
I don't know what it's going totake.
I don't know what it would takefor a woman to get me to get
married again.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Really, I don't know what it would take for a woman
to get me to get married againReally Right.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
But that's a lot of time that's passed.
I've met some you know, somelovely people along the way and
now I'm kind of back on the no,I think, the right person.
I would absolutely want to getmarried.
Either get married or at thevery least, do like a cool
ceremony with all our friendsand family, where you're just
committing to each other Rightthe downside, with all our
(18:03):
friends and family, where you'rejust committing to each other
right the the downside, I think,is that, um, how do you manage
through like the medicalcommunity, because you're not,
you're not married, legallymarried, right, yeah, because
there's rights that people haveand then you don't.
So unless you qualify themsomehow, then you know your
family, you know who you may ormay not like is common, is
common law marriage?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
do you get the same rights as legal married if in
terms of like power of attorneyand medical power of attorney
and things like that?
Speaker 3 (18:32):
I think you can do power of attorney, medical power
of attorney with anyone.
I'm not the attorney.
But for common law marriage Ithink it's possible, but you
have to go down weird thing.
You have to go down to thecourthouse and then go, we're
common law marriage.
I think it's possible, but youhave to go down weird thing.
You have to go down to thecourthouse and then go, we're
common law married and it's like, well, if you're going to do
that, then you might as welljust do a marriage license or
whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah, do you have any crazy date stories.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Oh gosh, you know, back when I was originally, when
I was first trying this outplenty of fish Um, I bet 80, 80
of the women that I met onplenty of fish weren't honest
about their appearance.
I mean, eight out of eight outof ten, nine out of ten dates I
would show up.
And I'm not looking for asupermodel, I just I'm.
(19:15):
I want someone who just paysattention like I do.
Right, you're reasonably fit,that's it.
And however you get there, Idon't, I don't, I don't care how
you, if you want to walk, ifyou want to run, if you want to
go to the gym, whatever.
But I was meeting up with peopleand they would be 30, 40, 50
pounds over their pictures.
And then you show up and I'mlike, hey, not for nothing, if,
(19:39):
if you and I got together andthen you put on 50 pounds, I'm
already in love with you and I'min love with your identity,
which is here, right.
So that's a very differentthing than we're meeting for the
first time to develop somechemistry and some, you know,
attraction, and then all thepictures that you showed me show
you know you're, you knowcatching fish or you know
(19:59):
running through the mountains,and then you show up and you're
five feet tall and you knowyou're just out here getting fat
fish.
Henry, I almost wore a hat and Ididn't want anybody to think I
was hat fishing anybody, so Iwas like, no, I'll just leave
the hat at home.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Are you ready for it?
I'm ready for it.
No, the keep more minutebrought to you by tactical tax
strategies help you keep more inyour wallet.
We help you keep more in yourrelationship.
So we have a listener question.
Yeah, nothing to worry about.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I thought it was gonna be something along the
whole.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Just some advice, no all right, so this question okay
, so this is a social mediaquestion says he sends fire
nudes but forgets my birthday.
We've been hooking up formonths and while the pics are
always on point, he ghosted meon my birthday.
Can you be someone's favoritefantasy without being their
(20:52):
priority?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
makes me think he's only with her for one reason,
right like he doesn't payattention.
He's not listening well.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Also, it says we've been hooking up for months, not
we've been dating for months somaybe they're on different pages
.
It sounds like he doesn't evenknow when her birthday is like
maybe they haven't even had thatconversation do you someone
that you're just having afriends with benefits situation
with?
Do you even?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
it's true, do you?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
even go that deep, like do you even talk about your
birthdays?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
yeah, I think they need to have a conversation and
chat about what are we, what areour expectations.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
I think there's some conflicting information there
that I do too.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
I think her expectations are unrealistic now
if there's two years of thisright.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Where you've got, you've cycled through a birthday
or two.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's a whole other thing it is and like for me, I I
always remember birthdays, soit's like birthdays stick with
me.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
So someone tells me their birthday, I typically
remember it.
But but really care isn'treally interested.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
I think if they were if it sounds like to your point
it's.
It's a bit of a situation, shit, but I think that if you know,
if you really wanted to make himremember it, you would have
been like so on my birthday I'mgoing to give you a gift, you
know, click, click, click andthen, and then he's like tally
ho, let's go.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
You do like the whipped cream bikini thing, like
in the birthday.
She could have been like it'smy birthday, do you have a big?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
package for me.
You can unwrap my present, sowe're going to discuss these
videos on tiktok.
It was hilarious reasons todate.
A short king, so many videos.
So all women that we interviewwere like what are your criteria
?
They all say, oh, I want a tallguy, I want a guy that's over
six foot.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Right.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
But here are some lists I found that state why you
should date a short king.
So studies show that shiningqualities like height, looks,
profession none of theseactually matter when it comes to
fulfillment and happiness in along-term relationship.
You're overlooking the greatqualities because of these
superficial qualities that don'tmatter.
So short Kings are 32% lesslikely to get divorced.
(23:09):
Crazy.
They do more around the house,they earn more money and they
have a higher frequency ofbedroom boinking.
Is that true?
Is your stamina a little higherthan average?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I've got a whole story around that.
But yes, I'm, I've got.
I'm not on any replacementtherapy, no TRT or anything.
I've got zero problems.
It's usually the complaint.
The ex-wife complained.
She was like gosh, I thoughtwhen you got into your 40s this
would fall off.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
She's like this is worse.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I'm like.
So I told her.
I was like you should talk toyour friends and see.
And all of her friends werelike your husband still wants to
have sex with you.
Like that's amazing, we wouldkill.
And she was upset.
I left her alone one time justto prove a point.
I just didn't bother her at allabout having sex.
And one morning it was like aSunday morning she was like you
(24:00):
want to do it?
She's like it's been a while.
I was like it's been six weeksand she was like no, it hasn't.
I went in and secretly markedthe calendar on the refrigerator
.
I went and grabbed the, grabbedthe calendar off the fridge.
I was like six weeks.
I'm like this is what I'mtalking about.
If, if I do everything that I'msupposed to do and I leave you
to your own devices, it's goingto be six weeks, and six weeks
doesn't work for me meanwhile, tlevels are like off the charts
(24:22):
funny yeah, they are
Speaker 2 (24:24):
also what constitutes short king.
So is it like yeah, is it likefive, eight and below.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I have no clue is it because I'm pretty sure the
average, the average height ofthe american man, like five
seven five, nine or somethingthat I think it's like five,
seven, I think women is five too, yeah, so it's not really short
, cause there are a lot of womenthat are five feet.
Five feet.
One five feet too, right, right.
So I don't know, but there wasthis trend going around with
(24:55):
short Kings, where short guyswould do these videos to this
song, a specific song, um, andsome of the things are just
hilarious, usually ripped, oftenrich to compensate for their
height, easy to throw out whatthey're making fun of themselves
.
Some of them, they're more fun.
We can fit into kids shoes.
So think about the money.
Say it's true, actually.
(25:16):
Uh, you know, they say aboutdown low, it's true.
One guy was like we can crawlunder the sink and fix your
plumbing.
Can tall guys do that?
No step stools exist, so we cancrawl under the sink and fix
your plumbing.
Can tall guys do that?
No step stools exist, so I canget to the top shelf in the
cupboard, but they can't go downunder.
That's forced.
We're more fun to cuddle.
You can wrap me up.
We will never cheat.
We respect what we've got.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
We will never look down on you I love they're
saying a short man will nevercheat, come on um.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
And then a bunch of girls posted a video and they
were like tall guys know thatthey're hot, so they don't try,
they don't have a personality.
Short kings are funny,courageous, they have hot bodies
and they have a way bettercharacter.
And then a woman posted atiktok and was like these are
the reasons you should date ashort king you won't have to
crane your neck, you can shareclothes.
They're less whiny about legroom on long flights.
(26:04):
Being short is good for theenvironment.
Wow, I have no idea.
Strangers in public may thinkhe's proposing, even when he's
not, which leads to freechampagne.
Tall guys are always talkingdown to you.
And short kings are good forrock climbing, because it's
better to be the same heightwhen you go rock climbing.
(26:25):
I thought it was kind of funny,interesting wow interesting,
interesting list.
Where is your favorite place togo on a first date?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
gosh, you know it's dependent on the woman.
To be honest with you, I'd liketo get through the texting
piece as quickly as possible, atAt least get on the phone call,
cause I do believe.
I mean, you know I've heardsome people's voices.
I'm sure they've heard mine.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
They were like do you do FaceTime before you meet in
person?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
When you meet someone , I personally don't mind doing
FaceTime.
I don't see why more people dothat so you know, I don't know
if we're ready for a phone callyet Like I'd like to talk a
little bit more and I'm likethis is an awful, like I've got
(27:10):
a theory on this.
I call it.
You know, do you want to readthe book?
Do you want to go to the movie?
When you read that book prior toseeing it if it were ever
adapted to a movie you'redeveloping these characters
based on your experiences inyour mind, and then you go to
the movie and then what do mostpeople say?
(27:32):
Oh, the book was way better.
Well, that's because you builtout the relationship in the book
, right?
When you go to the movies,you're going to the movies and
you're seeing someone else'sinterpretation of that book,
right?
So if you spent, when you gettogether somebody, you're like,
you're nothing like.
You're nothing like what Ithought.
You're a hundred percent right,I'm nothing like what you
(27:52):
thought, because you've been,you've been writing this play of
who we are and what we're goingto be about.
And then you show up and thenyou find out that things are
different than the characterthat you drew out.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
So go to see the movie.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Yeah, go to see the movie, like let's get to the
movie sooner rather than laterand then we can go back and read
the book later and then buildout, you know, you know, a
deeper relationship and aconnection.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yeah, I love that.
So now it's time for thecelebrity cut, where we marinate
in the juices of thecelebrities.
So you know that megan marklecame out with a jam, right as
ever.
Do you follow megan markle?
Or so she came out with a jamand it got pretty bad reviews.
And there was an article fromdonna collins.
Have you heard this, donnacollins?
She's the jelly queen.
(28:36):
She was on masterchef, one ofthe winners in masterchef.
Um, she has this website calledthe Jelly Queen, so she's jam
is literally her jam.
Anyways, apparently she came upwith a video that stated Meghan
Markle's jam, it's not a jam,it's a spread.
And I did a video on the TikTokvideo.
On this.
Donald Collins reached out to meand said oh my Jesus, lady from
Texas, so sweet and cute andshe's like.
(28:57):
I feel so bad because I can't'tdo the Texas accent.
But I got a call from areporter.
They were asking me technicalquestions about the jam.
So I was answering thesetechnical questions.
I've never even tried MeghanMarkle's jam.
They just use my words to skewthe article to make it seem like
I was talking about MeghanMarkle's jam.
Anyhow, she's doing achampionship at the World Food
(29:21):
Championship, where she's doinga championship at the world food
championship, where she's doinga blind taste test and she
wants megan marco's jam in theblind taste test.
She came to me and asked moi tobe a judge.
Oh my god that's awesomehilarious I'm gonna be a judge
in a championship.
That was not on my 2025 bingocard and I have to take a
certified course so I can be acertified jam judge.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Oh my God, that's so funny.
It's in Texas.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
It's actually in Indianapolis, I think.
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
But isn't that hilarious, yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I'm trying to get my hands on some of Meghan Markle's
, because she can't get the jambecause it's all sold out.
So if anyone out there has anextra jar of Meghan Markle's jam
, please send it our way, dm me.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Isn't that hilarious?
Yeah, what a cool thing though,because I mean, who doesn't?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
love jam.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Well, I love jam.
Is it at like?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
the.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Indiana State Fair or something it is.
Oh, you're going to have somuch fun.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
A few championships, and then they have the
championship there.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
State fairs in the Midwest are the best.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Are they really.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yes, west are the best.
Are they really?
Yes?
Speaker 3 (30:24):
recently, a video went viral of the husband
calling contest at the iowastate fair, and as someone who
grew up in iowa, I will tell youlike the women were spot on.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yeah so a husband, call husband.
Like when you have to call yourhusband in from doing chores.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Like when supper's ready right when supper's ready
and you're calling him out onthe farm you're calling.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
You know that is funny.
They're like yelling into themicrophone I wonder how many
husbands.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Yeah, I'll hold, I'll be right there.
State fair texas.
Shout out to texas state fairtexas.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
It's the largest state fair in the us everything
is is bigger in Texas, right,don't they say that?
Yeah, a little bit yeah, andaren't the properties there so
much cheaper?
In Texas yes, and bigger.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
I'm like thinking of where my sister and
brother-in-law live, and it'sthe same as everywhere.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Yeah, but they're fancy.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
They are fancy.
Yeah, they're in a fancy, fancyparty town.
It depends on where you are.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Yeah, it is less expensive there.
The difference is is all theland in Texas is basically
private.
There's no BLM.
So I you know coming here andthen going, wait, I can just
walk out to the who owns this.
They're like the BLM does, youcan just go anywhere.
So that's the difference.
But the difference, but youknow, there's no state tax in
(31:45):
texas.
Um, most of your taxes aregoing to go to the school system
and I've got zero problems withthe with, you know, educational
system being beefed up.
So it's like sure, why not?
I don't have a problem with it.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
But um, so we get a lot of people complaining about
dating in scottsdale.
Do you see?
Do you date many scottsdalegirls?
Do you date in scottsdale?
What's your?
Speaker 3 (31:58):
opinion, I don't hit any of the requirements that, uh
, that they have the six, whatdo you say?
the three sixes, the six footsix inches, six figures well, I
meet two of those three ain'tbad, you know, that's six foot,
that's their number one, likethat's their start off point,
and it's like, well, I can't.
(32:19):
Six feet we talked about this.
What?
12 to 14% of the population ofthe US is six feet tall.
Hey, congratulations.
But you're just going to beunhappy because you've got all
of these women going for 10% ofthe men.
It's like you're not all goingto get them, or you're going to
get them, and then you're goingto be mad because, well, I can't
believe you cheated.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
He's like well, well, all these girls want six
footers.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Like he's just sitting back like next, and you
know, serving number 29.
You know, obviously short kingsare better for the environment.
So like exactly, and we're allabout the environment nowadays,
right?
Speaker 3 (32:53):
maybe it's methane or something.
Who?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
knows, I don't know what it is.
They need like longer clothes,so they need more fabric, so it
creates.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Tall guys are gassier .
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
So why didn't it work out with your ex?
If you don't mind me asking.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
I've been, so I've done a lot of work and continue
to do work, because I justcontinue to.
You know, I was just in along-term relationship that
ended last year and found outsome new things that I didn't
expect yeah, for me personally.
So what the therapist that wehad that brought up was she was
(33:30):
like your dysfunction is whatbrought you guys together, but,
untreated, it's what drove youapart.
So had you been able to managethrough some of your challenges,
you know, had done a deep diveinto what your individual
challenges are, yeah, therelationship probably would have
worked out.
I mean, we were together for 21years.
Did you guys try therapytogether or no?
(33:55):
Did you not start?
I was no, no, no, I we I didtherapy together.
Yeah, yeah, she, she had somenegative experiences from being,
um, you know, when she wasyounger, from therapy, so she
wasn't as tuned into it.
Um, me, I've never had it and I, you know, I'm constantly
searching for, well, what can Ido better?
Um, so, but she, you know, sheattended, she, you know, she
made an effort.
Um, I just kept going because,you know, I realized I've got
(34:17):
some stuff to unpack, um, andthen have unpacked quite a bit
of it.
So, you know, when you see alot of that on on the dating
apps, they'll be like you know,I've done the work and I'm
looking for the same and it'slike, well, if you said you've
done the work, you might not bea good fit for me because it's
not over.
Yeah, every new interactionbrings some new opportunity to
(34:38):
find some new button that maybeyou know is an old button but
it's new now because it justtook the right person to kind of
to, you know, to bring it outand whether or not that's going
to be problematic for you or not.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
So, and anybody can say that they've done the work
yeah just like anybody can saythey're six, one, it's, it's
very true.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Now it's time to get to know you with zoyo, sponsored
by zoyo, your neighborhoodyogurt.
Pick the top card and answerthe question at your own risk.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Let's see.
Have you ever had sex with morethan one person in a day?
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Ooh spicy one.
The answer is yes.
Yes, what More than two?
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Yes, what?
Listen, I was young, it was along time ago.
I may or may not have danced indallas um like at a club back
yeah, like gogo dancing, likemagic mic dancing it was a long
time listen.
This is not, so don't judge meon this.
(35:45):
For then, what did you?
Speaker 1 (35:46):
have to wear Thong.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
So, yes, my little getup was that I would be
bussing tables Because it was,you know, it was kind of upscale
.
So you'd have, like this dothey even have them these days?
A bolo like a bolo jacket, it'slike a waist-length jacket, and
you know, you had a bow tie andyou know, shirt and whatever.
And then they would announce meand then I would be like, oh my
(36:10):
gosh, right now, and I put thetray down and I would go up, and
then so the jacket would comeoff and it would be what do they
call it?
Is it a dickie or whatever?
It would just be the piece ofthe shirt.
Well, not, I would pull thedickie off and then what would
be left would be the bow tie andthe collar, and then the pants
(36:31):
were.
You know, they were velcro pantsyeah, just tear away pants, and
then yeah, so, and then I hadthe little call the cuffs.
The cuffs stayed on, so I hadthese little cuffs that is
hilarious.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
How long did you do that for?
Speaker 3 (36:46):
just, uh, just a of years.
And then I ended up meeting.
You know, at the time I endedup meeting my wife, Not while
that was going on, but I was atthe club and you know I was
young.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
I think that should be another off-menu special at
your hot dog truck.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
If there's a suggestion box for Henry's hot
dogs, I think it should beanother off menu.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Did you make good money doing that?
I bet the money was good.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Um, I did, Okay, but listen, you know I'm I'm pretty
comfortable in, in knowing whereI stand, you know, in terms of
attractiveness and, um, therewere some dudes there that they
were you might've you could havejust been gay like they were.
Just they would walk in, you'rejust like, really like, all
right, well, tips are going tobe gone because you know this
(37:39):
guy is chiseled and you knowblonde hair, blue eyed, and you
know the perfect marlboromustache and you know, and a
bunch of those guys they woulddance.
So there's two types of guys abunch of those guys they would
dance.
So there's two types of guys.
There were the gay guys thatwould come over, that were super
stupid, hot, but would comeover because they were working
to get money, but they alsoworked at the gay clubs.
And then there were straightguys who would go to the gay
(38:00):
clubs because the money at thegay clubs was way better.
I never transitioned over had,if I, you know, if I could go
back to my younger self, I'd belike dude, you need to go and
work at the gay clubs.
You would have killed.
Yeah, because I think over, youknow, in the gay community I
think I'm like an otter orsomething like that.
They're just like here we go.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Were the women crazy?
Speaker 3 (38:24):
yes, I it's funny because I'm now you.
You know I'm I'm tuned in.
You know I've got daughters andI, you know I've done the work,
I've read the books, you know,and I I do like a women's
self-defense thing for runnersand stuff and so I pay attention
.
I realized that you guys livein a very different world than
we do.
If if these guys were to sitdown and just talk to you and
(38:47):
just ask you what your day lookslike when you go to the gas
pump or you go to, they'd findout horrible things about the
way men behave right.
So I think I just got lost in myanswer.
What was the question again?
Speaker 1 (39:00):
With a woman, crazy, yes.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
So now I look back and I'm like, oh, I bet you,
that's what a woman's day lookslike, right, either visually or
you know, or physically.
But yeah, no, they had zeroproblems getting a handful or
looking for change I mean theyput a dollar in.
You're like you're not gettingthree quarters back.
What are you doing?
Did you have a signature move?
Yeah, there was this.
(39:22):
There mirrored this one otherguy, this, uh, this he was the
only black dancer I knew, but Imean he was, the was just
shredded and he was such a goodtime and we both.
I danced at a school ofperforming arts for a little bit
, so I did jazz and ballet andhe did something very similar.
So, yeah, we had this littlemove that we could do, and then
(39:43):
we could do that move, and thenboth of us could nail like six
pirouettes in a row.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Wow, impressive, that is impressive.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
And then just nail it and just boom and just stop,
and then you'd hit that pose andthen do a little plank, the
women would go crazy.
Yeah, it was ridiculous.
