Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's one at one point three, Katie. But you I'm
gonna squeeze this in because it's kind of funny. Can
I just tell you the email that I got? Yeah, okay,
it came in just a minute ago and I didn't
really have time for it, but I'm gonna squeeze it
in because it's kind of important. This is somebody who's
got a dilemma. I'm gonna read you go to just
page through it. Here we go, Uh, Dave Ryan show.
I hope you guys are doing well. Quick question? Is
(00:20):
it a bad idea to go pub crawling all day
Saturday for Saint Patrick's Day while leaving my eight month
pregnant wife at home? And they put the thinking emoji
in there? One? On one hand, I could don my
best green attire and toast to the loach of the Irish,
But on the other hand, I might end up sleeping
on the couch for a month. What do you think
(00:40):
am I asking for trouble or is there a way
to balance the festivities? Cheers And they don't want me
to say their name, but basically they get an opportunity
to go like partying wearing green attire up and down
where do you go up and down West Seventh Street.
I'm drinking green beer and doing shots of Rubbleman's. But
what's that James jameson Jamison. Yeah, so or they get
(01:03):
an eight month pregnant wife at home.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
She's not going to pop any time.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
You don't know that?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Pretty far along, pretty good assurance that you're not gonna
blow early. Yeah, so you're early. You could blow early.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, I say go do it, but you know, just
saying I love you and I'll be home by five
or ten or eleven, or.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
We won't be home by five. He's doing a pub
crawl with his friends. Yeah. Right, And there's one day
of the year that you probably shouldn't go out and
drink if you're like a little bit wild. It's Saint
Patti's Day. And there's no way he's going to be
home by five, you don't think, so started like news.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Okay, let's say it's home by nine, so you make
a little deal. You're like, I want to go out
with my boys. It's been rough. I've been here, been
like you know whatever, here for you taking your appointments
and things like that.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Rough.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
It's been rough on the guys.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Pregnant, well, I'm just.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Trying to justify it somehow.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Come over there and shake you right now, She's the
one who is sitting around has.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
To stay, so it has to deal with all.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Of the joy of If you're telling me that it's
been rough for him, he needs.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
To go to the p CROs.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Absolutely, he should not go out to the pub cross
stay home with your wife. She could pop at any time,
and don't be a drunk for that time when it comes.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Let the guy have a day.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
I feel like he should be able to go with stipulations,
like if he obviously he really loves his wife, I'm
sure he does. If he left in the morning for
this pub crawl and didn't come back until night and
didn't communicate with her at all, that would be sucky.
But if he like calls and checks in on her
every like, you know, face times her to show like
(02:42):
here's where I'm at, this is what I'm doing, so
she feels like she's a part of it, I think
it would be fine.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, I think that she. I think that he has
the sense of self. He emailed us because he thinks
it is wrong, Like he has the morality, so I
think he can have an adult conversation like I will
be home by this time and fun and I'm.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Water occasionally go whiskey water deer water.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Text message says I wanted a loane time when I
was pregnant. Schmoos her a little clean the house before
you got Yes, not bad. I bargain with her a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
He wants to go out crawl pub crawling for Saint
Patrick's Day? I love it. She's eight months pregnant. He
wants to go, but he's not sure she will be
okay with it. What do you think, adew be? This
guy wrote in really quick and he said, Hey, my
wife's eight month's pregnant. Me and my boys want to
go on a pub crawl tomorrow for Saint Patrick's Day.
But I don't want to end up sleeping on the couch.
(03:33):
Is it okay if I go on a pub crawl
with my boys come home drunk? I don't know, you know,
whatever degree of drunk on Saint Patrick's Day. So we
got people on the phone who really want to help
him out, give some advice, and let's talk to Edy Eadie.
Should he go out and get drunk with his boys
on Saint Patrick's day weekend or what do you think.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
I'm just saying, if you got to ask, you know
the answer. But with that being said, sometimes it's better
to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission, so you
would I know I'm going to make all the wives mad,
but I've been on the receiving end of it, and
I've also been on the other end of it.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So so you're thinking, like he goes out, he'd get
better to ask for forgiveness, and it is.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Permission better to beg for forgiveness and ask for permission.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Okay, I've lived on that theory for a long time.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
It's really one after that, like you.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
All one after that. Yeah, he would owe one for sure.
For sure. Absolutely, Thank you, Edie, I appreciate that. Have
a wonderful weekend, you too, Thank you, Leah.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Should he go out and party with his boys on
Saint Patrick's Stay weekend or stay home with his eight
month pregnant wife.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
He should absolutely stay home with his wife.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Oh why well?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Number one, yes, the wife could go into labor. But
number two, of the chances of him having to call
her needing a ride, that's the last place an eight
months pregnant woman should be. I would know. I had
to actually do it for my mother, So I mean,
just stay home. You're about to be a dad. I
get it that you want to go out with your friends,
but the chances of you either landing yourself in jail
(05:09):
and needing your wife to pick you up, or needing
your wife to pick you up because you're too hammered
is very high.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
You know, I would hope that he'd be able to
go out with getting so hammered, or maybe they'd have
a designated driver.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah, but what did Saint Patrick's Day? I mean, everybody,
what is I'm Saint Patrick's Day? You're going to go
and you're going to get drunk. That's like the goal, the.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Only thing you do on that day. Thank you, Leah,
have a good weekend, Happy Saint.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Patrick's Day, you guys do Thanks. Now we've had one
say yes, one say no. So this person, Jackie, you're
going to decide should he stay home with the eight
month pregnant wife or go get drunk with his boys?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (05:48):
I see he goes and gets drunk with the boys,
and next year she goes with the girls.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And I think that's wonderful. That's absolutely fair. Yeah, absolutely,
because it's a win win for everybody.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
He used to go.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
This year, she stays home, gets some quiet time to
play on her kindle. She play on her kindle, and
then next year he's got the screaming brat that's going
to be like, you know, like have colic or whatever.
By any year they shouldn't have colic. But you're right,
I think that's a genius idea. He should go next year.
She goes, right, Jackie, Thank you, Jackie, have a great
(06:23):
weekend you too.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Thank you.
