Chrissy A. (04:17):
Terry, don't steal our shit.
Don't steal our shit.

Sir Anthony (04:21):

Chrissy A. (04:22):
Okay, you definitely snuck that Just all the way at
the bottom.
You turn Okay, you definitelysnuck that Just all the way at
the bottom you guys.
Okay, and the cards are so cute.
Look at this, they're so cute.
They're so cute, the cards aresuper cute.
Okay.
So improv storytelling Taketurns telling the story, with

(04:45):
one person starting and theother adding to it, keep
building until it becomes ashared masterpiece.
So I'll start this time.
Okay, you start the handshake.
Let's, I'm gonna start theimprov storytelling.
I want to do it.
Um, I didn't put it in there,but a sentence at a time.
However you want to do it isfine, but a sentence at a time

(05:07):
will make it More, you know, fun.
Okay.
So Once upon a time, there wasa beautiful young Lady named
Lucy.

Sir Anthony (05:18):
And Lucy Was desperate to find Love.

Chrissy A. (05:24):
Damn, why did Lucy gotta be desperate, okay.
So she searched high and lowfrom grocery stores to the
liquor store.
The liquor stores.

Sir Anthony (05:39):
And all she found was Dusty's until.

Chrissy A. (05:41):
she found was Dusty's until her fairy god pimp
sprinkled some pimp juice onher and she met the most
wonderful man she's ever seenbefore.

Sir Anthony (06:05):
But he had a big zip on his forehead the size of
the Eiffel Tower.

Chrissy A. (06:17):
And she could not get past that eyesore, so she
made him a doctor's appointmentto see if anything could be
fixed.

Sir Anthony (06:28):
And when he got the doctor's appointment they bust
a vessel and he bled so muchthat he cried.
And when he cried she got tosee his vulnerable side and she
was so happy that she lookedpast the zit.
And they lived happily everafter.

Chrissy A. (06:56):
What the hell baby.

Sir Anthony (06:58):
Gotta throw some curveballs in there.
This is life.
Life ain't so.
You know, life is like rollercoasters.

Chrissy A. (07:05):
That was the most beautiful love story I've ever
heard in my life, I bet you, ifwe film it, it's like pretty
good movie, right?
Okay, you want to pull see howfun these cards are like and you
can create anything that youwant out of it, so it's pretty

(07:26):
dope yeah, so the card I justpulled is called relationship
rules.
Create five relationship rulesthat reflect how you want to
support and care for each otherokay, um, so a rule that I think
this would probably be good ifwe wrote these down too and

(07:49):
stuck with them, because this iswhere the building intentional
relationships come in.
With these cards, like they'relight, they're fun, fun, but
you're also building intimacyand stronger relationship
connections, and if you want tocreate more than five rules,

(08:13):
that's completely fine.
I just thought five was a goodnumber yeah, you first rule
number one never do anythingthat you wouldn't do if I was
standing there.
If you're thinking about doingsomething that you wouldn't do

(08:37):
if I was right there, then don'tdo it.

Sir Anthony (08:40):
Okay, rule number two listen.
Listen not just to respond, butsometimes listening doesn't
require a response.
Okay, you write, all right youwrite.
Your writing is impeccable wehad penmanship class in grade

(09:03):
school.

Chrissy A. (09:04):
Oh.

Sir Anthony (09:08):
Number three.
Number three is never go to bedmad.
Number four a weekly check-inon the relationship.

Chrissy A. (09:33):
Okay, I like that Okay.

Sir Anthony (09:39):

and why it's special to you.
Go ahead, oh, my memory.
That's really special.
I have so many, I have so many,I have so many.

(10:54):
But I'm going to take it backto the day that we started
talking, like the very firsttime we started talking.
I talk about it a couple ofpodcasts, you know from this one
.
However, it was just such amemorable day for me.

(11:17):
Um, the way that I felt like itwasn't like I expected us to be
in a long-term committedrelationship.
I was open to it, but it waslike just enjoying a moment,
like that was the one time thatI lived in the present moment
and did everything that I feltand wanted to do, and you were

(11:40):
very receptive of it.
And we had some hiccup momentslater on that night and it was
so fun, I don't know.
I enjoyed seeing you in acertain level of vulnerability.
You know what I'm talking aboutyeah.
Yeah, so I enjoyed seeing you ina vulnerable state and making

(12:06):
like fun of it.
You know like I saw so manystages of you that day and I
feel like I showed you so manystages of me and we were drunk,
but that's not the point.
But that was one of the bestmoments, that most memorable
moments, the best moments thatI've shared with you for me.

Sir Anthony (12:30):
I'm gonna go back to how you treated me for
sweetest day weekend.
Forget sweetest day, it was awhole weekend.
It was a complete surprise.
I didn't have to plan anything.
All I had to do was pack andshow up and didn't even have to
pay and didn't even have todrive, and so we just went

(12:54):
surprised, enjoy, ate well andhad a lot of fun and it was more
surprises because other familycame and joined in the.

Chrissy A. (13:09):
You know couples fun , so yeah yeah, I got my little
gloss on you so I'm popping yeah, you popping baby you look good
though, okay, okay reversedrawing one partner describes an

(13:30):
object without naming it andthe other has to draw it based
on the description.
Okay, you want to draw or youwant to describe?
Well, I can draw and this canbe any object, you guys,
anything you think of, just justdescribe it and the other

(13:52):
person has to draw it.
See if they get it right let'ssee let me think about okay,
okay, this object is round,round and it's so round because

(14:14):
it has air in it and it has alot of lines on it.
On it it's orange okay it hadsome words on it, one word

(14:49):
specifically.
I can't tell you the word,because then you'll know the.
It don't have that many lineson it and the lines are through
it that look like a Show thepeople that.
That look like a.
That looks like a DNA,something DNA-like.

(15:10):
The lines are through it.

Sir Anthony (15:17):
And it's orange.

Chrissy A. (15:18):
Yes, and it has a word on it that starts with S.
It could have other words on it, but this one is famous on a
movie that it stars in.
This thing stars in the movie.

Sir Anthony (15:41):
I need more that's everything.

Chrissy A. (15:46):
Sp okay in the movie .
It's not like a star, like witha name, it's just everywhere in
the movie Because you can playwith it and then the movie has.

Sir Anthony (16:07):
Is it a basketball?
Yes, Spalding.

Chrissy A. (16:10):
And then the movie has it a basketball.
Yeah, spalding let's redo that,because then they're like you,
slow no, no, that's the point ofthe game is fun, man, it's been
a basketball, I'm ready.

Sir Anthony (16:34):
My object is you gonna get this fast?
The object has big eyeballslike two big eyeballs like this
big.
Even though it's happy, it'salways frowning With eyebrows

(16:59):
frowning.
The nose looks like a littlewiener hot dog.
The little snossages looks likea little wiener hot dog.
The little sausages.
The hair is, imagine BartSimpson spiky, but to the back.

(17:22):
So Bart Simpson spikes is up,this spikes is to the back and
it's blue.
I knew once I said blue, is itsonic?

(17:45):
okay, period thinking about camfavorite character I see I love
that about you.

Chrissy A. (17:51):
I love that like you , how you love my son.
It's such an amazing thing towitness, like even with his
y'all my son watch youtube theweirdest shows and the fact that
you are able to like pinpointhis shows and be like man.

(18:13):
He was watching this show andyou telling a whole story about
this show and I'm just like,okay, cause me, I will sit there
and pretend like I'm watchingit with him, but I ain't
watching it.
You know, I'm just likeenjoying him watching it and
seeing him like sitting therewhile you're actually engaging

(18:34):
into his favorite things, and Ilove how you are with him.
I love how he loves you Like.
It's such a special thing forme.

Sir Anthony (18:43):
That's easy.

Chrissy A. (18:45):
Yeah, aww.
And then you thought of hisfavorite character, okay, okay,
do we got another one?
Oh, was that the last one thatwe was gonna do?

Sir Anthony (19:00):
I'll give one more, but otherwise you should go to
our store, pureintentions314.com.
And one.
We always all do this, but do avision board which you may I'll
read it.
Create a vision board together.
Use online images or oldmagazines to visually map your
shared goals and dreams.

Chrissy A. (19:20):
So do that as a couple creating a vision board
helps you understand what youenvision, actually see it for
your future, so that you canmake the moves to actually do it
.
It's like you could wantsomething and say, hey, I want
to be married, or I want areally big house, but if you

(19:41):
don't know what that home lookslike, if you don't envision it,
or you don't know what thatmarriage looks like to you, to
you as a partnership, becauseit's something that you do
together, this isn't you get aboard, I get a board.
This vision board in this gameis specifically meant for you

(20:02):
two to create one big visionboard together.
So now you're learning whateach other wants like.
I know I want to build a homefrom the ground up.
I know you want to build a homefrom the ground up, but what
does that home look like?
You know what I mean, becausemy home could be completely
different than what you envision.

(20:22):
So, to make sure we're on thesame page, the same path, and
that we're more moving in theright direction, it's really
essential to do that.

Sir Anthony (20:32):
I agree, and if you take a look at the link up here
, the manifestation episode,this is just a version of that.
So you're actively thinkingabout what you all want.
So you are clipping out andwriting those things down.
You're thinking about it, thenyou're saying it, and then, if
you see it every now and again,or if it's in your subconscious,
you'll manifest and you'll doit.
