Speaker 1 (00:18):
Lovely
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Welcome to in the
grind with Megan Grady sponsored
by the records company.
I am Megan Rhianna, and this isgreedy Merryn and we have been
besties ever since I canremember, I think
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Since the fourth
grade member, when I had that,
like kind of Mr.
Belvedere sweater going on inmiss Parker's classroom, and it
was super, super cold because myparents had just relocated us
from Albuquerque New Mexico.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I do remember that
you were so cute.
You had on these big glasses andyou were shivering.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Bottle cap glasses.
How embarrassing?
I don't think we could affordcontacts at the time.
And those are the glasses that Ihad probably for the three years
prior to moving.
But at any rate, welcome toAberdeen, Ohio,
Speaker 2 (01:04):
The foothills of the
Appalachian.
I think we both
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Been all around the
world all separated
Speaker 2 (01:09):
For many years.
Yeah.
But we always, we always findour way back to each other and
now we're doing and the grind inCincinnati and it's crazy.
Yeah.
It only took a pandemic to bringus back together
Speaker 3 (01:22):
All the way from
Nevada for you,
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Las Vegas, baby.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
And you loved it out
there for a time for a time,
Speaker 2 (01:32):
But it's not, it
doesn't glitter for me anymore.
And I think that we're just kindof excited just to be doing
something new.
Yeah.
It feels good to be home.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
We're just trying to
like expand our horizons and
talk and just kind of connectwith people.
I think that now probably is thebest time to do that.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah.
We're, we're very excited aboutthis new world energy and
finding both new and creativeways to connect with each other
and our listeners around theworld.
And every one of us is in thegrind of everyday life.
So we want to reach out andspread love and ideas and
inspiration knowledgeexperience.
And of course, laughter Grady.
(02:10):
You always make me freakinglaugh, but well, part of the
reason why
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Maybe a slight sense
of dry humor or it could be the
critic inside me
Speaker 2 (02:18):
And who the hell does
it mean to laugh right now?
I mean, come on.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah.
I think the world needs a hellof a lot more.
Laughter.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Oh, speaking of that.
Great.
Do you remember?
I mean, you've been in my lifeso long.
Do you remember when I wasmarried for like two years to
that one guy?
Yeah.
Wasn't he gay?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I don't know.
All I remember is he had someripped abs on your refrigerator.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I don't even remember
that.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I think that he
idolized himself.
It was like some sense ofmotivation for him.
And on your refrigerator in theMount Adams area, this guy had
like a 12 pack on the door.
You know, he
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Had more clothes and
more cologne.
I mean he had more cologne thanI did and he loved it.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Cook was I'm more
attracted to him than you were
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Maybe?
Probably.
Yes.
Did you know that I married agay man?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
No, I did have a
sense though.
I think I told you on the firsttime that I met him that I
thought he was gay.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
That is the reason I
divorced him.
I think.
I mean, I mean girls, how do youknow if your man's gay?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
How did you not know?
I mean, remember that time youhad that PO box.
I know I was on vacation.
You called me up, you were infrantic sex, you were crying.
Your life
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Has a PO box
Speaker 3 (03:41):
That has porn sent to
it so that no one else knows.
And I'm like, gee, I reallydon't have much on that, but I
know that gay guys do watchstraight porn.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I know that's what
you told me.
That's so crazy.
And why?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I don't even know.
I don't know.
It's a complete, complete darkso, Well, it's very confusing
these days.
I mean, we had Metro sexuals andnow I think that we've moved
past that and now we are kind ofinto, you know, using pronouns
with they, them, us it's allvery, I'm confused.
(04:22):
Do
Speaker 2 (04:22):
You remember that?
It was, it was Harry porn.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
What is Harry porn?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
It was people in the
porno that were Harry.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Well, maybe it
reminded him of a cat,
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So embarrassing
anyways.
And it makes, it does make youthink something is wrong with
yourself.
And really he's just not thatinterested in what I have to
offer.
I mean, I thought, why is he sodetached?
Why is he always lying?
It's hard on a woman'sself-esteem for sure or anyone
for that matter.
There's no real competition.
Is there?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
No.
So I used to think that too, Iwould always be upset because I
couldn't compete with a female.
You know what I mean?
I can't compete with a female.
So I would have to say that itprobably was pretty
disheartening for you.
Maybe D beyond disappointing.
You got a divorce for God'ssakes.
(05:13):
I mean, it was a lovely weddingthough.
I had a great chocolatefountain.
Oh, thank you.
Did you get to enjoy it?
No.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I'm glad that you
did.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
They aren't and I
help get you dressed.
I remember that
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Amazing during my
wedding.
I remember you held like mydress the whole time for me, so
I wouldn't step on it.
And you were just amazing andyou were a bridesmaid and you
had a bouquet and you lookedamazing.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah.
I actually remember that I wasyoung.
I didn't require Botox andfillers or any of those sorts of
things.
I'm not an admitting to anythingof course.
But I would just say, if ladieswant to know if their guy's gay
usually most, all the time gaymen can tell you, Oh, why didn't
(06:00):
I just ask
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Friend?
Oh my gosh.
Well they say, if you lovesomething to let it go.
And if it comes back to you,it's yours.
And if it doesn't, it never was.
So I got them all yours, Gradyand we're back.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
We are.
In fact back, speaking of beingback, I would like to introduce
a good friend of mine, aconfidant, a business partner,
gypsy Xtrordinair, miss agoddess.
Zachary.
Oh,
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Hello.
Hi guys.
Hi.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Hey.
Hey.
So
Speaker 3 (06:30):
We thought we would
delve into an interesting topic.
I know you've been listening tous.
So what do you think aboutMegan's two year stint?
Well,
Speaker 4 (06:42):
She was probably very
young back there, right?
Yeah.
I was the, I would have toassume maybe a little bit naive
and you know, we don't seethings that we don't want to
see.
Um, we don't listen to our gutfeeling.
I think with age we get more andmore sensitive to it and
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, possibly a
little bitter too.
I get told that quite often Imight be a bitter pill.
She hit the nail on the head.
Cause I, I
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Joint shopping with
him and cooking with him and he
was like my best friend.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
He cooked a lot.
As a matter of fact, he used toalways compliment him for his
cooking.
You said he cooked a hell of alot better than anyone else
that, that had cooked for you.
So Megan had a
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Friend
Speaker 3 (07:31):
And, and he was in
school too at the time I think.
So he wanted to be a nurse.
Not saying that that's afeminine field or anything.
I'm just saying that he wasdefinitely in touch with the
more delicate side.
Did you have late night pillowtalk?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I got it.
We're back to you.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
So, uh, God, I
thought that we talk a little
bit about dating in 2020 and themuch dreaded COVID all while
balancing work life and yourthoughts on Meg living in an RV.
Yep.
She's living in an RV back fromVegas, parked outside of her
parents' home and grabbing lifeby the horns.
I think
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Bang.
It is very creative and as aturnout, very smart way to
approach.
She basically drag her homewherever she wants to go.
There was always roof over herhead.
What is that song?
The gypsy song.
There's roof of my head, youknow, or the gypsy honey
Speaker 1 (08:35):
[inaudible]
Speaker 4 (08:36):
So Megan can go
tomorrow.
Wherever she wants.
Sushi can move to Florida.
She can go to Oregon and justdrag her little house with her.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yes.
And she can avoid COVID bystaying in her RV and just kind
of being a transient.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
No, I love it.
I have to say it's the bestplace I've ever lived.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
What is it like to,
what do you do?
I don't want to get toogrotesque, but when you have to
use the bathroom at night, um,
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Well right now I'm on
the side of my mom's house.
So I have
Speaker 3 (09:06):
No hookups.
I just pee in a cup.
Oh wow.
That's definitely, definitely aninterest
Speaker 1 (09:16):
[inaudible] well,
actually that happened once it
overflowed.
Oh,
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I don't even know
where to go with that.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I mean, COVID, I have
a lot of sanitizer wipes and I
just cleaned up my little mess,but yeah, it was a little, um,
sleepy.
I would have to say,
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Well, as long as you
do that and doesn't, you know,
what do you remember the storyabout?
What was it?
The astronaut lady who put adiaper on and drove straight
through across United States toget to her husband who was
cheating on her.
And she didn't even stop to pee.
She liked pee in the diaper.
So as long as you don't do that,
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Uh, piddle pads, I've
got, uh, I've got period
underwear.
That's about it.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
So let's talk about
dating.
Yes.
So
Speaker 1 (10:03):
What do we talk
about?
Goddess hair first?
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Let's talk about a
goddess hair.
Beautiful.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I mean, she is
beautiful and her
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Hair radiant.
It's radiant.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Okay.
So I'm going to tell you this,this actually I went to my
beautician on Friday.
I had an appointment just forstraight, regular highlights.
And as I'm sitting there and Isee one beautician working on
somebody, her hair is green, theone that's purple.
And I'm thinking, Oh God, why amI so boring?
And this over and over?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Because Biden one.
No, no, but I'll tell you what,
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I'm just joking
Speaker 4 (10:42):
The game I remember
for you.
It is progressive.
But on the other hand that Iremember when I lived in Poland
and I was actually inkindergarten, I was five years
old and every time I was drawingpictures, all my prints assists
and my pictures had a blue orpurple hair.
(11:03):
And I remembered the cleaninglady would the broom coming
around the table I was sittingat and she would always crit as
ice.
My princesses, an org.
You with five-year-old, there isno people with blue and purple
hair.
So on Friday, almost 40 yearslater, I'm thinking to myself,
I'm going to show this cleaninglady.
There is a princesses withpurple hair.
(11:26):
So here I call what I've alwayswondered
Speaker 1 (11:28):
The same thing I
wondered ever since I was a
little girl
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Financial hair too.
It's kind of like fuse Shaw.
Well it's what does it saythough?
Chili pepper.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Chili pepper.
Um, Oh, it's a bike shop inMoab.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
So I like to, are you
a biker lady?
Yeah, my mountain bike.
Not, not, not like a motorcycle.
The broom broom.
Right.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I would love to vroom vroomthough, for sure.
I, a deer jumped out of me whenI got on a crotch rocket once
and that was not pleasant.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
It was, you had that
on camera.
Maybe not.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I didn't know how
close I was to my life ending.
So are you dating by the way,since we're doing talk about
dating, are you dating Megan
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Sometimes?
Not really going for you?
Same old, same old.
I mean, I'm dating the same,same old that I've been dating
for here and there, but notreally.
I'm kind of working on myself.
I think I went on a date likethis past weekend.
I went to Texas and, and dated.
I, I got to eat some good,really great food.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
What kind of advice?
Uh gada can you lend all theseyounger and older people that
are kind of just out there inlife trying to find their
special person?
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Well, you know, I
will just say, I guess main
thing is don't settle forsomething you are not happy
with.
And I've been already marriedfor 21 years.
The[inaudible] and uh, no, thankyou.
Thank you.
Um, how I met him, I actuallywas sitting with somebody that
(13:01):
I've dated for a year and a halfand I fought this guy, was it.
And I was heavily in love and mytwenties.
And then this guy comes in tothe room and my boyfriend
introduced me to him.
And the minute I met him, I knewthat as my husband, you knew it.
I knew it.
I knew it.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Wait a minute, you
had been with someone like, were
you, were you married or you'rejust with someone.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
So yes, as bad as the
sound, my boyfriend introduced
me to my husband.
So, um, I would say Dom, settlefor something that maybe does
make you happy, um, being tunewith your senses, listen to your
gut.
And also those days, you know,with all the internet dating and
(13:47):
everything, take a warning signsreally seriously.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You've given me hope.
I looked up her name last nightbecause her name is beautiful.
Okay.
It's like a goddess.
I didn't know that.
And did you know that a goddessmeans good and virtuous?
Yes.
That's actually,
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Uh,
Speaker 4 (14:08):
That's a Greek name,
but uh, used in Poland a lot.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Yeah.
It's beautiful.
I really like it.
Well, thank you.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Nobody can pronounce
it here.
Usually when they asked me formy name and I say a Garda and
they say, Oh, I can neverremember that.
I always, I always want to saynow.
No, no Agatha Christie here.
What do you think about likepeople it's gotta be
Speaker 3 (14:30):
So lousy to meet
people through dating apps.
I've heard horror stories aboutjust meeting people in random
places that you really can'tconnect with through an app,
because I can tell you frompersonal experience back in the
internet cafe days, when I usedto galley van off to the
(14:52):
internet cafe, when I wassupposed to be in class and get
on some chat rooms to meet upwith someone, you know, it just,
the person that I'm talking tois not the person I'm meeting
99% of the time.
I mean, one time this guybrought me a Teddy bear.
I couldn't get him to leave mealone.
It was kind of freaky.
Actually.
It was very freaky.
(15:12):
He brought you a Teddy bear yellon our first date.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I have a camera
inside of it
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Back in the days
before cameras.
As a matter of fact, it was alittle risky meeting somebody
right, without a cell phone.
Although I think I still hadlike this ginormous long bottle
cell phone, but I don't know itjust, how do you connect with
somebody?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
So the other day I
was watching one of my favorite
shows investigation.
And actually that one was aboutonline dating and unfortunately,
or all cases they show are theladies, God either attacked or
killed after a few dates.
Now, my thing is those likeextreme cases.
(15:59):
And, um, I know several goodstories from people who met
online and are still married andhave children.
And you know, I just think whenyou put yourself out there,
whether is through, you know,online services or you could be
out in the target shopping.
And when you meet somebody, youjust have to be careful.
(16:23):
Um, you'll have to listen toyour God, to your instinct, to
now on.
Sometimes even that doesn'twork.
I mean, you never know.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah.
I also know that there's an appthat you can download.
I think it's life three 60.
I have that on my phone and youcan create a folder and hide it.
So no one knows that you haveit.
And um, you could share yourlocation with like your mom or
your best friend.
And you can even have a group onthere with people that you
(16:52):
trust.
So you could tell them, Hey, I'mgoing out with this guy tonight,
locate me.
And if I'm not home by thistime, you know, you know,
something's wrong, but that's agreat app that I think a lot of
women need to know about.
And a lot of people need to knowabout it, not just women.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Oh, so this is more
or less like to protect you for
your site.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yeah.
I know that, um, a lot of womenare found because they have this
tracker on their phone.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
I'm talking about us
as a cure.
If I'm thinking about a securitystandpoint, that's kind of
disturbing to me.
I think that the iPhone can betracked anyway.
I think other phones can, but Iknow specifically the iPhone
can, I don't know.
I just don't like people beingable to have access to my
location all the time, but Iunderstand the need to have
that.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Right?
Yeah.
I like my mama know him.
Didn't you?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Didn't your last
boyfriend put a tracker on your
car?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Who knows?
That's scary to me on that appthough.
And you were concerned aboutthat.
Didn't you find like
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Some suspicious
object on your car?
You took it to the dealer orsomething?
Yeah.
I ended up being nothing.
So, well, go ahead, go ahead andput it past him or anyone for
that matter that you've dated.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Oh my gosh.
I'm going to have to be on adating show.
Oh, wait.
I've already been there.
Oh, that's true.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
You did do a dating
show.
Did anything materialize?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah.
I, I became great friends withsomeone in Vegas and he was
actually my neighbor and lived,um, a mile away from me.
We used to go to the dog parktogether, but we're still
friends.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
So, uh, gada you're
from Poland, right?
Yes.
So tell us what's Poland.
Like what's Europe, like yousaid, you met the man of your
dreams earlier.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Yes.
So Poland is an amazing country.
I just actually went last yearto visit and fell in love all
over again with Polan.
Um, I had a great time, however,science, we were in a dating
subject.
I left Poland when I was 17.
(18:54):
Um, Virgin Sai was not dating inPoland.
You were a Virgin.
Oh yeah.
When?
Yeah, I wish
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I was a Virgin.
I would sell my virginity.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Yeah.
I was a Virgin until I was 18.
But um, you see
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Her name does mean
good and virtuous.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
It does.
Absolutely.
And you put your virginity in acup and on a shelf and you sell
it, like it's a retail object.
I would have known about thatbefore.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
So, no, I mean, I
didn't have a chance to date in
Poland.
Um, we ran away due to politicalreason at that time.
It was, uh, mother Russia tookover Poland.
That's why we ran away and Ilive for about 10 years in
Germany.
So dating in Europe was not thatgreat for me.
I, at the time thought that theguys, um, uh, specially in
(19:48):
Germany were pretty lame, youknow?
Um, until one day I don'tremember how I was introduced to
an American and the club.
And then Maura Wong came and Imet couple of girls and I was
like, Oh my God, who are thosepeople?
This is my kind of people.
I love the mentality.
The sense of humor, Americanswere super easy to get along
(20:12):
with.
They like to have fun.
They are generally very, veryhappy people.
And that's how I, uh, got into,uh, dating, uh, GI.
Um, he was stationed in Germany,in army and that's the guy then
who introduced me to my husband.
Wow.
That is crazy.
(20:33):
Who was, yes.
Who was another GI?
And um, I always somehow knewI'm going to lend in the United
States because it was, um, as atime when, by me living in
Germany, you know, a years intoit, I looked around and most of
uh, friends I had wereAmericans.
(20:54):
You know, it was my fact, myabsolutely best friend.
Hello, Betty and Cleveland isfrom United States as well.
She lives in Cleveland, Ohio.
And I met her when, um, when herand her husband were stationed
there.
So.
Wow.
And what part of Germany I wasliving in Bomberg, which is
close to Numberg
Speaker 3 (21:13):
And you can speak
German.
Yes.
Russian.
Yes.
Polish English, little bit.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
That's amazing.
Can you say sexy
Speaker 3 (21:26):
In German?
Speaker 4 (21:33):
[inaudible] But to
surprise you sexy in all of them
in paulus's sexy and in Germanis sexy.
This is, you know, internationalwar.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I liked that
Speaker 3 (21:47):
You spent a brief
period of time in Russia.
You said, no, I went there.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
I used to sing when I
was little and we went on this
kind of student exchange.
So I was in Ukraine for aboutfour weeks singing for
organization.
I don't even know what to callit in English.
They used to be calling Russianco-hosts and Sol hoes.
And we used to go and sing forthe farmers who work there.
(22:14):
Or were they workers, you werelike Marilyn and Rose singing to
the,
Speaker 1 (22:21):
To the farmers.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Happy birthday, Mr.
President.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Gosh,
Speaker 4 (22:31):
At the time it was
Mr.
Gorbachev.
I believe that's the tear downthat wall.
Yes.
Came shortly after.
Yes.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
You know, a lot of
history there.
Yes.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
But I was gone by
then.
We didn't wait that long, whichI think my parents a little bit
of regret until today, not towait those few years, we laughed
in late eighties and I believethe wall came down in 1991 and
that's one Poland star goingthrough huge changes.
The iron wall came down, but wewere unfortunately already gone.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
And then you came to
the United States?
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Yes.
I came to United States.
Oh, hi, love United States.
I love, uh, again, I loveAmericans.
Um, you come on a boat.
No, I came on the plane and youknow what?
I'm back then.
You were a, you were allowed tosmoke on the plane.
How about that?
(23:26):
Oh, wow.
Yes.
Wow.
Back of a plane.
That's how long ago it was
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Trays?
Yes.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
They were building
into your, uh, armchairs under
that little.
Yes.
So that was, I think one of theless flies where smoking was and
then nine came to the States and, um, I loved it.
I think Clinton was thepresident when I came here.
So, um, but it was pretty happytimes in America.
(23:56):
We'll be back after our shortmessage from our sponsor.
Speaker 2 (24:00):

Speaker 4 (24:48):
COVID-19 masking.
Oh yeah.
How on the Hill do you know whatthey look like?
Yeah.
Wow.
I don't know.
I'll tell you what, um, beingmarried for 21 years.
I don't know, but I guess youget creative.
So if I were to day, unlessshe'll say I met somebody online
and then we decide to go for acoffee, let's just set on there.
(25:11):
I bread.
I don't know.
I would have probably make himgo outside and through the
window, take the mask.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
[inaudible] after he
puts it back on, he's allowed
back at my table.
He might look better with themask on.
You could only see the eyes.
Hey honey, just leave that maskon.
Okay.
Oh God.
Couple extra
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Glasses of wine and a
mask is all you
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Need.
Yeah.
All we have to ask Panera tostart serving wine.
Well, you can't social distance
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Then Panera.
I know.
I know.
Wow.
This is challenging.
I tell you.
It is.
It is.
But on a serious note, I mean,come on six feet apart, right.
Or the mask.
That's the general rule.
Saul stepped back six feet.
And uh, let me see.
And later on that night,
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Six feet,
Speaker 4 (26:06):
What do you do about
the germs at that point?
Well, what have you been doingabout it in all those years
prior to correct?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I say, take Listerine
with you and some hand sanitizer
, swish.
A lot.
So you don't
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Use lubricant
anymore.
You use
Speaker 1 (26:24):
The sanitizer kids.
Don't try this at home.
Absolutely not.
We certainly don't want anybodyto be using Lysol.
Oh no.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Wow.
Dating online could be like agreat option right now because
you could at
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Least see their face
before you meet them.
I'm so over zoom I'm so over allof that, but
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Selling me that, that
they was a year, you Grady that
now you'll have an option tohave a actually virtual day
would ordering dinner and watchthe girls virtually eat the
dinner.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Yeah.
This is advertised.
I heard it on the radio orpodcast or something.
I don't know.
That seems lame, but I get, Iget all of the requirements.
I'm certainly supportive ofkeeping people healthy and safe.
It just seems counter-intuitiveto try to meet and get to know
(27:24):
somebody and have any type of aphysical relationship.
Not saying that you showed onthe first or second or third
date, whatever your prerogativeis, but it just seems so
challenging to have to do thingsthrough like virtual meeting
sessions.
I don't enjoy virtual stuff atwork.
I mean, do you, when we have tohave meetings at work, I mean,
(27:45):
you're now the vice president ofthe records company.
We, we of course put our feetright in the mud, right from day
one, we were ready.
We were prepared.
We had been preaching to ourcustomer base for years that we
were ahead of all of ourcompetitors, that our technology
was second to none.
(28:06):
And I don't, I didn't enjoy thezoom meetings because we didn't
have any personal interaction.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Yeah.
And I'm, I'm a lot into feelingenergy coming from monitors and
their aura.
And it is hard through zoommeeting.
And as far as, you know, goingback to dating and protecting
yourself, I mean, I got a thingback.
I had a friend who, uh, yearsand years back started dating
(28:32):
and they actually were dating.
I want to say maybe for two,three months clear of sex.
And when they were ready to moveforward, they actually bought
off when and were tested foreverything.
Because at that point theydidn't want to use any
protection.
So, I mean, um, here is thething, you know, very well did.
(28:53):
There is huge amount of, uh,people who are very concerned
with, uh, Corona virus.
And there is some who are notconcerned much and they believed
that everybody at some point isgoing to go through it.
So,
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Um, it's just became
a pretty divisive political
issue, unfortunately.
Yes.
I don't know why we polarizecertain things.
I'm not going to say, I don'tknow.
I'm not a scientist.
I'm not a physician.
I don't know the specific databehind any of this stuff.
We just rely on thoseprofessionals to kind of give us
(29:27):
the advice.
And we're just kind of tornbecause we're hearing so many
things from so many places allthe time.
I think that's great that youcould go both, go and get tested
for coronavirus and STDs and thewhole shebang.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
And then you could
bang.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Right.
But here's the question aboutthat on a serious note, what
happens if you had the symptomsand you were positive during
your first date, but you wereasymptomatic, didn't test
positive and you tested positivethe following week.
These are some of theinteresting things I've heard
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Bodies last, what?
Two to three months.
That's what I hear.
Yeah.
But you know, to be honest withyou, you know, what's so
different.
If you were on a date feelingthat way or being already sick
or your shopping and spending inthe line next to other people, I
guess it's all about takingchances and arrest the person
that you want to ride
Speaker 1 (30:26):
On the back of the
motorcycle with the baby.
Just do it.
Yeah.
We only live once or they say welive a lot.
I don't know.
But anyway, ride and die.
I don't even know if that'sreal.
Um, Hey, but make sure you loveyourself before you love someone
(30:46):
else.
What do you think about that?
I gotta, do you think that youshould fall in love with you
Speaker 4 (30:50):
And prioritize
yourself?
Absolutely.
I think people who lovethemselves.
I, for example, I love myself.
I love spending time withmyself.
I'm never bored.
I have thousand and one things Icould think of getting into when
I'm by myself, I actually enjoytime by myself.
But then again, being marriedfor 21 years is easy.
(31:11):
Easy said.
Um, however, when you don't loveyourself and don't have
self-worth and feel likesomebody, you need somebody else
to complete you.
That is opening door.
I think too many problems andissues.
I agree.
I think that's a very goodpoint.
And then how do you keep your,you know, married life spicy
Speaker 1 (31:34):
After all these
years?
Wow.
That was a resigned.
Sorry.
I know you love your house.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
It has been, I
couldn't imagine being with
anybody else, but I actually hadthat conversation just the other
day with my 12 years old song,our song.
And, um, when we were talkingabout one of his friendships and
I said general, just secondmarriage.
It's, it's a wave it's up anddown and up and now.
And I think the most importantthing is to be able to
(32:04):
communicate, to be honest witheach other, to know when, to
step back and take a break fromeach other, we can be 24 seven
in each other face.
It's tiredness.
It's hard to be creative when,and then some people I'm sure
can.
That's not my case.
Um, many times when we gothrough downs, uh, you know,
(32:26):
little sprinkle of alcohol canfix anything.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
We'll get through it.
How many years have you beenmarried?
Grady.
I've been married 11 years.
Wow.
Like I feel so well, not
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Specifically 11.
We've been together for 11.
We've been married.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Wow.
That's incredible.
It helps to have some wine.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
It does.
And it doesn't hurt dad.
Your husband, Antonio is superhard guy too.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Hello.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Wow.
He's going to listen to this andreally love you or whatever.
You know,
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Again, sometimes on
Tanya comes to our office and we
have a predominantly girlsworking there and Tanya council
is so good looking so good.
Smelling.
Everybody dropped.
[inaudible] look at the, uh, nah,
Speaker 3 (33:18):
GQ.
When he walks in, he really putsme to shame.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
[inaudible]
Speaker 3 (33:27):
He's pretty amazing.
He's just spot on witheverything.
He's very motherly.
He takes care of business.
He generally knows how peopleare feeling.
And he is always supportive.
He has been extremelysupportive, but we have a good
time together.
We have a lot of greatconversations.
We spend a great deal of timetogether, especially during
(33:48):
COVID.
We spent a hell of a lot moretime together.
And you really don't knowwhether or not you're going to
come out of a pandemic, likingthe person or not.
And so it's a true test to arelationship and we passed it
with flying colors because wenever got entirely tired of it.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Well, I went across
country in an RV.
Yeah.
You got the hell out of there.
So you learned where
Speaker 3 (34:11):
You stood in the
relationship
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Tracker in off.
Oh Lord.
Well, thank you so much forcoming in today.
I got a problem.
My pleasure.
Speaker 3 (34:27):

joining us.
She's going to be guest co-hoston our next episode.

grind with Megan Grady.
