Episode Transcript

Unknown (00:00):
And now we're live. Oh, wow. The button still works.
Okay, okay. I wasn't sure if itstill work because I hadn't
pressed it in a while. It's beena while. It's been a long time.
I wonder if they still make WD40 You want to get some
like to loosen things up? Ithought it was just part of
being a man.
I think a toolkit is part ofbeing a man like a WD 40. A

(00:21):
moustache and a hammer. Don'tforget the drill. Power Drill is
very important. I have a drill,but the battery is dead. I think
I used it once. And then neveragain. Is that what this episode
is about? Is it follows thereabout already past? Father's Day
is a myth.
It is Saturday, Friday. I don'tknow what day it is.

(00:45):
But it's not Father's Day. Oh,it's not a thing. Okay. Then
what are we doing here? What arewe when we push ups? No, no push
ups? No, it's your show.
I have no idea what we're doing.
It's my show. Yes. My show. Yes.
My show head above hypocrisy.
Um, well, that is what'shappening. I introduce myself
every time because this showcaters towards people that don't

(01:07):
have short term memorycapabilities.
You know, you gotta representfor everybody, even the, you
know, memory challenged. Okay,niche group. Alright, I'm Marcus
coast of head of over epoxy. AndI think people just write crap
down.

(01:27):
So then, I don't have to say myname because I wrote it down the
first time. That didn't makesense. They don't have like a
friend that can write this stuffdown for them.
Friends are overrated. What? Imean, have you ever? Well, I
don't think friends are goodnow. If not for writing stuff
down ever. So I take notes foryou.
Back in the day when I was inclass, yeah. Yeah. And I they

(01:48):
took worse notes than I did. AndI never took notes.
Right? How do you take notesworse than nothing? And that's,
that's what you get. When youask friends for things you get?
You get worse than nothing. Imean, friends, how many of us
haven't? Right? Everybody hassome friends or like taxes, the
ones that you can depend on?
Well, that part's also an urban,you can't really depend on you.

(02:11):
All you can depend on isyourself
to be consistently inconsistent.
Maybe you should drop the intro.
Let's get into this.
Think about friends. You keeptouching on. I don't I mean, I
don't have any friends. BecauseI'm old man. With children. You

(02:32):
don't have time for friendships,right? Friends? female friends,
that female friends are like, Idon't know, recreational
terminal illnesses. Wow. Okay,drop your intro. Let's drop into
this. Okay, I guess I need tospeak to a doctor about female
friendships. I think they'rehazardous for you. I mean, it

(02:52):
may not be terminal. But it'slike stress, like, you know how
stress is the number one killerbecause it just it like eats
away at your heart slowly.
That's, I think that's a synonymfor female friendships. It's
same kind of thing. It justslowly eats away at you. I'm
gonna go drop the intro becauseyou just no one is helping.

(03:14):
You know, once you go getyourself a friend, it's new
cancer.

(03:46):
So it would seem that medically,I can't say that. female
friendships are hazardous toyour health. Oh, I mean, it's
like the Surgeon General. Youjust give advice. All right.
Well, no, I think if I were theSurgeon General, then I could I
don't know that. That's the hehas a medical degree. I think
that's a government position.
Right? Yeah, you can beappointed as a surgeon. Yeah, I
don't think you need like anymedical advice. So then I just

(04:08):
got a hit at the Surgeon Generaland explained to him that having
female friends is hard for yourhealth. And then females will
come with the same warning labelthat cigarettes do it make more
sense? I mean, because like whatdoes the surgeon general do not
to talk about health but likewhen the pandemic was happening
and popping off. We went to likeDr. Fauci and all these health

(04:28):
officials but no one ever askedthe surgeon general who's
supposed to be the top medicaladviser of the country. Well, I
think he's a one hit wonder oncewell, he decided that cigarettes
were bad for us. He's like I'vedone my job.
So bad you have to figure therest of this out yourself.
You don't get the same warningon alcohol. There's no surgeon

(04:49):
general warning like if you havesix of these you will end up
arrested in a fight like I feellike you have six female
friends. It's a man you the samething as having six Hennessy
shots. IFor like, I mean, that seems
like bad luck. I think themissing shots are cheaper.
Because it's a one time expense,that friendship is gonna cost
you for the life of thefriendship. So you saying you

(05:12):
can't have female friends? Youmean like in the sense of if
you're in a relationship, or youcan have female friends the same
way that you can make popcorn inthe microwave with your face
stuck to it like sugar if youwant to, but I don't know how
your brain is going to feelabout it.
Is this vice versa to like, doyou think they shouldn't have

(05:34):
too many male friends? It'sdifferent for females, they,
they can kind of do whateverthey want. Okay, so, alright, so
you have women friends, right? Imean, not by choice. But yeah, I
have a few. And like, what isthe biggest hurdle? Is this
coming from somewhere? I don'tpersonally something or I
personally don't have anyproblem with female friends now
because I don't have any newones. Right? Like, I think so.

(05:58):
Okay, if we want to take aserious look at the issue,
right? Like if you're in arelationship, and, you know,
you're you make a new femalefriend, okay, that's gonna be
more of a hurdle than like,Susan, that you've known since
before your you met the girlthat you're dating, right?
Because you can introduce Susanfrom jump. Like, this is Susan.

(06:20):
We lived across the street fromeach other. And we were for she
performed the Heimlich maneuveron me when I was just processing
history, right? And reason why,like exactly what's here before
you, right? So there's okay.
There's history. Whereas if youmeet, you know, Shaniqua at
Chick fil A on Thursday, andnow, you know, she's at the

(06:40):
House on Wednesday watching thegame. I was like, Well, why is
she here? Like, oh, well, I mether getting chicken nuggets.
Pretty fast moving friendship.
I'm just saying that's that'sthe problem. That's the problem.
There's no history. And ifthere's not history, then it's
gonna be weird. It's like whyare you working so hard for this
outside friendship? Do you thinkmale and women can be platonic

(07:01):
friends? But that's like the ageold question, right?
Men can have women platonicwomen friends? Is it possible?
Yes. Is it likely? No, really? Idon't think so. And I think
that's male fault more thanfemale. I think that men are
more likely to have friendshipsthat they hope will develop into

(07:25):
something else.
Eternally, I felt like they'dnever turns off. Like I feel
like they some will settle inthe friendship zone and like,
alright, well, she cool. And Imissed but you know, at least he
likes cartoons. We can watchcartoons or whatever. But you
know, one day I get the righthaircut and her you know, her

(07:46):
dude is trippin. Maybe you know,after Hey, Arnold, we can get
it. poppin but I don't I don'tthink I don't know that women
are the same way. I think womenhave male friendships that they
believe are platonic. But Idon't know that the midfield the
same way. I think it's it'srare. But you know, of course,
there's an exception to everyrule. Right? Like there's

(08:07):
there's there's a handful ofgenuine friendships out there,
I'm sure. But for the most part,most dudes are playing the long
game. They're like, well, itdidn't work this time. I'm gonna
just wait for her to be in a badmood is creepy. I mean, we're
kind of creepy. And we are Imean, it's we are our guys. Or
we strategists you know,depending on it's all about the
adjective.

(08:31):
You can it's perspective you canuse it depends on the word you
use. Right? Like it could justbe good strategy. Hmm.
Well use that time I well, Itried initially, she was like,
Nah, we'll just be friends andnow you just do an Intel you
just get in you just getinformation. See? I do feel that
that's somewhat dangerousbecause I've had co worker or
not coworkers I've had we're notfriends anymore but I known

(08:54):
people that have like literallyexplained to me like oh, yeah,
blah blah blah. I've slept witha friend and I'm like, what?
Like you've slept with a guyfriend. Yeah. Why? Like isn't
your relationship weird now? Oh,well, you know, it was just an
experience and then I just feellike that's a really weird

(09:15):
situation that I think the maleand female mind are different
like it was a situation for herbut it was
or vice versa but usually inboth people don't feel the same
way about it if feelings arethat low
I just it's it's rare. And it'slike the it's like the Friends

(09:38):
with Benefits thing that neverworked none of that stuff ever
works. It's it's you know longterm long distance relationships
not long term. That's terribleadvice. Or friends with
benefits. Sex buddy stuff likethat like that. Yeah, that's
enough. It cannot work. Now, notlong term, not like one
nightstands work. Those workbecause you never

(10:00):
See the person again. You maynot even know last names and or
you know, like anything right?
Like super drunk you wake uplike, Oh, what happened? I'm out
of here that that works becausethere's anonymity right like you
don't there's no it's whathappens in Vegas stays in Vegas
that's that's why Vegas existsand has been thriving for my
entire life because it's a hitit and quit it one time kind of

(10:22):
thing. There's no connectionthere's no ties, there's no
overlapping friendship circleslike that's, that's usually
where you get caught up rightlike somebody knows somebody or
sees you so anybody gonna see mein Vegas?
So looking for you, well thenthat's a whole different I'm
just saying, but for like, youknow, it's it's that kind of

(10:46):
stuff works if it's if it's onceand it really is random or, or a
moment of weakness or whateverit is like that. That works
because because there's nohistory there's no emotional
attachment or involvement. It'sreally it really is a one off
right like it was the perfectstorm of things. I had just the
right amount of drinks. Thelight hit your face just right,

(11:09):
right. You know, you remind meof Timmy in the seventh grade,
and I always liked him me and hedidn't know and boom. Right now
you in there. She's calling youTimmy and your name is Duan.
You know, that kind of stuff,man. Um, is it easier to have, I
guess Friends of the oppositesex that are unattractive?

(11:32):
Like if you were just like, Yo,that person is Ugh, mug, then
it's just like, yeah, we can befriends and kick it. I don't
care. There's no sexualattraction. Of course, it's
gonna be platonic. I mean, theyhave to be a really interesting
ugly person, right? Yeah, no, Imean, the personalities turn
out. Well, that's the thing andtalk to you again. I feel like
that's, that's the other reasonthat men go astray is because
their friendships are based onappearance. Like your average

(11:55):
dude is not going to approvelike there's not going to be a
situation where he gets to findout the ugly girl is fun,
because that's not how early onwe usually make our decision.
So the best way that happens isis he tried to talk to the girl
he thought was cute. She saysno, and now he's stuck with the

(12:15):
ugly girl because you know, cutegirl left from somewhere like
oh, well, we like all the samestuff, you know, except for
physically.
Some people say mopeds are fun.
Wow.
No, that's not the brake. I feellike it's just people that have
never gone fast are the peoplethat think mopeds are fun? Fun

(12:36):
to ride just don't want to becaught on one is what they say.
Yeah, they used to say that. Youdon't say that anymore? I don't
think it was so.
Does so it doesn't make adifference? Does age make a
difference? Like after you getto a certain age that just
doesn't matter? You can befriends with Bertha from across

(12:56):
the street. Who cares? You guysabove 75?
Okay, well, yeah, there you go.
You hit this, like if you're anAARP member, or you know, you've
got to live in nurse. If you arenot mobile.
These are all reasons for thewhatever friendships that you
can obtain. are legal. That'sfine. I can't. I'm not about to.

(13:21):
You got enough problems in yourlife for me to be stressing you
out about like, I don't likethat you were talking to
Gertrude for so long? Likethat's right. So you know,
70 8060I don't know fit this wild. 50
year old so probably likes itprobably wherever you get the
discount menu at Denny's. Youcan have whatever friends you
Alright, um, I mean, it growstoo. Yeah, but they found the

(13:43):
dice. Like, how mad Can I reallylike if we both tend to die? And
you're like, Well, I decided Iwanted to cheat on you a week
before you know my pacemakergives up. I'm not gonna spend my
last four days on earth beingmad because you know, Ethel
stepped out on me right? I'mgonna just you know, go find
Gertrude. Right right now I gotyou. So I just it's a time thing

(14:04):
at that point. Like, I'm notgonna Why would I waste the
little time I have left beingmad at you. So they say in
statistically say teenagers arebetween the ages of 16 and 24.
That's like the loneliest timein life. Would that change?
That's an accurate that'sprobably the most social I was

(14:25):
in my life. Well, I mean, Iguess well, I mean, I just being
social and having someone Iguess like the opposite partner.
I feel like whoever ran thisstudy did not ask the question
right or have a good grasp onEnglish language. The loneliest
time in your life is when youdecide to have a family because
you are trapped with yourfamily. Oh, wait, I'm reading

(14:48):
notes here. Is it Dad's Corner?
He's are you giving advicethat's that's your family show?
No. It can't be Dad's Cornerbecause I'd be I'm advising
againstHaving a family and Dad's going
to work. I'm never on a show andwhat days is it? It's on Apple?
I guess? It's I don't know whatdays it is. It's it's only on
Apple, but it's, it's forparents, my parents show. Okay,

(15:10):
but this isn't Dad's Corneradvice. No, this is just this is
this is refuting statistics orexplaining that statistics can
be twisted or made to prove anypoint, right? Like, it depends
on what question you're asking,Okay, I don't think I don't
think the 16 and 24 or whateverit was, is the most loneliest
time at all, because it's whenyou have the most freedom to be

(15:32):
the most social you don't, yourtime is not limited until you
get older and you get moreresponsibility. That's why I say
you're lonely. It's when youhave a family not because you
know you. Yes, I use the termtrap, and it's negative
connotations or whatever. Butit's more so that you are
trapped by the responsibilitiesof family. It's not the
individuals, it's the bills,it's the extracurriculars, it's

(15:53):
the chores, it's the plumbing,it's the fix in the house, it's
the drive in the school, it'staken to the doctor like that
you don't have time forfriendships, you got to take
care of the family. So that'sthat's when you would be lonely,
not when you're 20 and all youhave to do is make sandwiches at
Subway and maybe homework if youdecided to go to college, right?

(16:13):
I don't that I don't understandhow that statistic why dudes
because they asked the questionwrong or exactly how they want
it. But it's yeah, it's moreabout statistics can be twisted
to prove anything. And I just mypersonal experience was not that
way and when likeI didn't meet other 20

(16:33):
somethings that I was hangingout with. We weren't lonely. We
were out doing stuff talking topeople you know, meeting things
and breaking stuff and makingmistakes and getting tickets.
Wellto circle back to your original
your question everything so likeOh, to be fair, it was fun
internet right. Oh boy had thepost talking about what it's

(16:54):
this pretty. It's pretty, prettyboy like insurance salesman. I
think he sells life insurance.
So some something great Marklight eyes light skin clean cut
good looking dude. I I've seenhis posts before. He seems smart
as much as you can judge thatvia the internet.

(17:16):
But it's basically what he wassaying is he's too good of a guy
and or people that are men thatare married? Because the
question was specifically forman. Like, it was like, hey,
whatever his name was,as a married man can I have? Was
it single female friends? And hewas like, Absolutely not. Hell
now because I'm too good of adude to to out here being
friends with Single Ladies and Idon't want them, you know,

(17:39):
thinking that my niceness or ourfriendship is something else.
And now I'm sitting here beingfaced with temptation. I don't
need that in my life. Okay, soand like to me that's the self
control issue, right? Like ifyou can't have three
conversations with a girlwithout you know, trying to
remove her clothes, then that'sthe situation here because I'm

(17:59):
like, well, that doesn't makeany sense. Like just because
it's a phrasing thing. Like youthink they all want him points
were made right like he alsosaid I don't have any female
friends. I'm married. I havefemale acquaintance
acquaintances, all women I knowknow me and my life. Would you
can have a female friend thatknows you in your life? Like,
why? Why can't Why do you knowyour wife? Right? That's,

(18:20):
that's, that's where the issueis. Like, if you're hiding
friends. That's that from peoplenow there's a problem. But if
we're all friends and we all goout together, and that's fine,
right? Like, if if such an ifSusan can't bring Tom. So Susan
just goes with the two of us.
That's fine, because all threeof us are friends, right? Like
if the friendship is is aboveboard and everybody is on the

(18:43):
same page, then it works. ButI also on the other on the other
hand, I understand not invitingchaos into your life, right?
Like and having a plethora offemale have single female
friends as a married man isinviting chaos into your life.
Right? Like one or two orwhatever, like a co worker or

(19:04):
like a reasonable way to comeacross someone to write like you
don'tI don't think that it's healthy
for your relationship to make anew air quotes friend. After you
know you get back from your bestfriend's bachelor party, right?
Like he was in Vegas for twodays. And now you have this new
friend. Yeah. Right. Who are youtalking to? A friend or not even

(19:25):
Vegas like you go out like yougo out for boys night or
something. And now all of asudden, you've got a new friend
or vice versa, you go out forgirls trip, you go out for girls
brunch, and you can't and youget back at four in the
afternoon. And now you've gotnew friends, right? Like this is
these are problems right newfriends. Drake says a lot of
things. But you know, he's gotlight skinned man problems,

(19:48):
which which are worse than firstworld problems. They're like,
somewhere between privileged andand royalty anyway, is it fair?
Okay, so I also feelLike when he made that post that
maybe his wife made him makethat post? I hope not. And he
was a shotgun post.

(20:10):
Just like me mocking him, hemade it under duress.
And what else? Not? Why don't wespeak to these women? I'm just
saying, watch the video see howmany times he blinks his eyes?
So my thing is, is it normal?
Like, according to sitcoms andentertainment, women normally
make those rules. So you can'thave Susan as your friend, I
don't want you talking withBecky with the nice hair. Do men

(20:31):
normally make those rules? Nowwe just get jealous, and act
out. Because we don't we're notgenerally in control of our
emotions enough to be like,Look, I don't like you hanging
out with the client. Becausehe's two inches taller than me
and only has 15% body fat.
Right? Like I don't, we're notwe're just we're just gonna have

(20:52):
attitude when you go. Or whenyou get home games. It's, it's
rare, unless, you know, likeyou'd like 35 Plus, like, now, I
probably would just saysomething because damn near 40.
But it takes us a long time andto be in a relationship for a
while, generally speaking, to bethat forward with our like it

(21:15):
you have to admit tovulnerability. And we're not
good at that. Like, we have toadmit that this band makes me
feel threatened about ourrelationship. And I want to talk
to you about that, that is avery difficult conversation for
a male to have like to just belike, I'm feeling vulnerable
about this. Like, it's, we'renot going to say it like that
like and women don't always saylike, I don't like her because
this that and that's coming fromthat place. Like we can't even

(21:38):
we can't even come from thatplace a lot of times, like, it's
very difficult for us to admitthat we're feeling less than
because of someone else. Sowe're just gonna add to it or
pick a fight or like, there'slots of other ways that will
lash out to address it. But Idon't think that it's, it's very
common for the male, to bring itin an organized fashion like,

(21:59):
well, I don't feel comfortablewith you spending this much
time, you know, with Jason,because you guys have this
history, or you don't havehistory, like which whatever it
is, and both. Both can beconcerning. Like if there's too
much history, and it's one ofthem things where like, You guys
never got to be together becausetiming wasn't right or whatever.
Like, I don't want to be theright time, right?

(22:23):
Or if they're brand new, likealright, well, you don't have
any friends for years. Now. Allof a sudden Shawn shows up,
right? Who? Why are you laughingat all of Sean's jokes? Right?
That those are the littletelltale signs of pisses me off?
Like don't laugh at all thesepeople's jokes? What are you
saying? Because like, I thinkI'm funny. And if I'm with a
significant other, I would hopethey think I'm funny. Also, if

(22:44):
you are laughing at some randomfriends joke all the time also
sometimes. Yeah, yeah. Ifsomebody told me that, however,
discussing you know,relationships and stuff and like
you always say be careful,anybody can make a girl laugh.
Can it was something crudecan make other things happen
fill ina humor is a huge thing. Women

(23:06):
are Oh, I love it guys withsense of humor. Like, if you
haveI don't want to say because men
we mess up too. Like we have toomany friends are Instagram
models. That's just a bad.
That's that's once again is justsitting in front of us trying to
play the long game. I mean, Idon't know he just and what's

(23:27):
weird for me with that is I feellike you shouldn't ever be in a
place in a relationship whereyou have to look at like
interactions that way I feellike to be able to move through
life and just talk to peopleorganically Right? Like if you
have respect for yourrelationship and you're not out
here actively looking for youknow, new side action, then you

(23:52):
should be able to be nice topeople and it not result in a
one night stand on accident.
Right? Like you should be incontrol of social situations and
yourself enough to be able to dothat.
So like that's it's weird. LikeI don't
I don't understand at this pointin my life, like this age being

(24:13):
in a relationship like that andit's like well, you can't talk
to this person or you can't actyou can't go here like really
come over we do it right. Thatwas I'm not a teenager like I
don't have a curfew this that'snot how this works right? You
know if it's one of those thingswhere you don't feel comfortable
because of XY and Z we can havethat conversation. But not just
like a blanket I can't havesingle female friends at all

(24:35):
ever. Like that's weird right?
That's that's not a healthyrelationship. Susan up the
street just got divorced. Idon't want you going that way.
Right.
I mean, what it's just likeyou've got coworker there's
there gonna be interactions withsingle females that that are
based in in professionalism andor you know, plot tonic madness.

(24:59):
I don't know howDon't say that. But like,
if if you don't make it aboutthat, then it's not about that.
Right. If you bring it up nownow, it's in my mind, and I
wasn't thinking about that. Soit's just I think that I think
when you start addingunnecessary rules, stipulations
regulations to a relationship,that's, that's there's another,

(25:20):
it's a bigger problem, right?
That's a trust issue that needsto be addressed outside of, of
random new friendships. And thenon the other end, you know, move
like, you got some sense, right?
Like, don't be out here activelylooking for friendships. And
like, that's, that's not whereyou what you need to be if
you're in a relationship or youknow, a husband, God forbid,

(25:43):
right? I could you imagine theact of mall trying to make
friends, you know, all day long.
Like that's out of my 21 yearsold, right? I
wouldn't say after a while,like, like, as you said earlier,
when we're talking about, like,after a certain age, have all
the friends you want. But yeah,like, after you hit a certain
age, it's like, you really wantto put that effort in making
friends. Like if they'recoworkers, and we keep bonding

(26:03):
cool, but like, I'm not gonnamake that effort. That's what
I'm saying. Like, you should beable to have organic
friendships, if you meetsomebody at work or at the gym,
or wherever you go naturally,then fine, because that's,
that's how you that's how yourlife works. That's what's in
your rotation. That's what's inyour orbit, you go to the gym,
you're going to target you go towork, right? Like if you make a

(26:25):
friend in one of those threeplaces make sense? Free for all
have at it. Okay, but you know,if it's, it's the, it's the
random friends that are met atplaces that are designed for
people to make beyond friendshiptype connections, right? Like if
you're at a bar at yourrestaurant, if you're wherever
people go to meet down. Oh, I'mold, I have been looking for

(26:45):
people in a lot. I don't knowwhere you go. Oh, hold on. We're
out the game before. Oh, Lord.
Wherever it is that young peoplego to meet eat? Well, I guess
it's on the internet, right? SoI guess you gotta like, you
should not be on Snapchat, orwhatever it is. But that's what
it is. Right? Like, don't belooking for inappropriate
friendships. But I do think thatit's possible for married in a

(27:07):
relationship, whatever you wantto say, people to have
friendships like normal platonicfriendships, it's just, you got
to keep it that way. Don't don'tgo out of your way to go out
with said person alone, right?
Like, if you guys are justfriends, why we need to go to
the movies together, why wegotta go eat together? Like why
we got to do the time? Why do wehave to do things that companies
do together as friends, right?

(27:27):
Like, that's, that's whenthere's problems when you're rep
replicating couple activitiesas, as friends, like, if you're
doing couples things in yourfriendship, we don't need to do
that. Right. Like, let's justleave it at work or, you know,
whatever it is. And so, youknow, I guess the the long and
short of is, Can men and womenbe friends? If they are in
relationships? Yes. Or if one isin relationship and one isn't?

(27:50):
Yes. Astrix. Right, with youknow, with precaution, I guess
you know, you can't just be outhere messy. But you know, you
also are not on social healthrisks, either, where you just
kind of walk head down hands andpocket because there's a woman
walking down the street, I'm notabout to cross the street,
because there's a woman walkingtowards me, like, my wife

(28:12):
wouldn't like me being in suchclose contact with you, being of
the opposite species, let mejust cross the street.
Unnecessarily, you got to find ahappy medium again, as, as
always on this show. It's aboutbalance, right? Like you got to,
you want to be able to go outand talk to people like a normal
person, but you have to berespectful of yourself and your

(28:32):
relationship. Right? Likethat's, you know, your
relationship yourself, yourpartner. You know, you gotta
respectful of these things. Socan you have friends? Sure. But
don't be an idiot.
Right? It's real simple. Justuse your brain. If if it's
something that you normally dowith your significant other,
then maybe don't do it with yourfriend.

(28:54):
There's plenty of Platonicactivity activities you can do,
right? Like go to librarytogether. A nobody cheated on
nobody at the library.
That's, you know, or maybe Ijust, you know, gave the best
lie ever. Oh, yeah. Oh, no,maybe I'm, I'm at the library,
you know, working on his workcited page. I gotta, I gotta do
some research. There's a laptopat home.

(29:18):
Right, right, but I needhardcover. There's there's some
unabridgedvintage copies that didn't get
onto the Internet and a greatidea, something that men and
women can do together as acouple and not in a couple. They
can sit back and listen to yourgreat podcast. Absolutely.
Absolutely. If you're lookingfor something safe to do with

(29:42):
your single friend, as a marriedperson, head on over to just the
internet really pretty much anystreaming platform and you can
find good ol head up of piracy.
And we will we'll keep you outof trouble. Or we'll get you in
trouble and you can blame it onus. You know, that's me is
almost his greatest thing.
SameI mean I don't have to be in the
relationship that's why I'mwilling to take the blame. She

(30:03):
can come scream at me all shewants and once I'm tired listen,
I'm just gonna hang up I don'thave to go home this person I
don't have to see them everit's the same way I want
nightstand works except you knowthere's no sex just all the
yellingNo, no, I guess I probably
should go now he's got his headin hand. I've done it. I've done
it folks. I have silenced himwith my offensive pneus so as

(30:25):
you land this plane, I was justthinking another great thing you
know, something that I wouldn'trecommend people that are in
relationships that do and thatis to purchase one of their
friends or one of your hoodiesmaybe they see that for your
significant should not do that.
I think it's you say that foryou like couples Maybe I'm just

(30:47):
a friendly individual. They'renot couples hoodies, they're not
like sewn together. You just getone. It's you know,
you could buy a hoodie for aSecret Santa gift right? Like
you know, it doesn't have to bethat personal. It doesn't say I
love you sponsored by hid abovehypocrisy is just adult
adolescent. Or like all yourother catchphrases. They can get

(31:09):
numerically I'm grown but youknow maturely about 15
adult adolescent listen all daylong you can get at anybody,
man, woman, the alphabet gang,all of them.
We don't discriminate. We are,you know, over here, thing
hoodies, T shirts, mugs,whatever you need, we will

(31:29):
provide resources to any and allthat may need it. But for those
of you in relationships, just becareful with your friendships,
right? It's if you're trying toohard to make a friend, then let
it go. Right? Like if you juststumble upon a friendship, and
it should be okay. Because beingin a relationship does not mean
you know being in prison.

(31:51):
But it does mean that you haveto you know, you got to keep
that person with you, if youwill, right. Like it would you a
what they like, what they'resaying, you know, when you're
interacting with this, thisperson, and b How would you feel
if they had a friend and they'rebehaving the same way if you
keep those two things in mind,and you know, whatever you're

(32:14):
doing checks those two boxes,then you should be fine. And
that looks different foreverybody. Right? Like I'm all
the things that I'm okay with.
You may not be okay with andvice versa. So you got to find
you know that, that happy mediumfor you and yours. And just, you
know, make sure to check thosetwo boxes as long as it's not
offensive to you and youwouldn't mind seeing your person
do it. Go for it.

(32:37):
And when all else fails, justlisten to the show, man. It's
it's safe. You know, you're notgonna get no diseases. You don't
have any accidental you know,outside babies. Nothing it is.
It is the safest option. Andit's more interesting than
abstinence. So, head above oxy.
We're here for you
