I'm going to share the

story with you, but I don't think it was a good milestone. It was a, your parents are definitely getting old milestone. It's nothing health-related. It's nothing, you know, like that. It's just, we talk on the show about how old people have tendencies. And some of us talk about that with more respect than others. And my, my dad told me a story, and I'm going to relay this story to you the way he told me, and he told it with so much pride and like, this is what I have done and what I have accomplished. And five years ago, 10 years ago, he would have been humiliated by this. But they, they are retired and they spend a lot of time at the casino, the local casinos, the casino on an Indian reservation, you know, where they live in two or three times a week, they'll go. And it's, I mean, it's a significant hobby for them. And they will report their winnings and their winnings or losses are never more than like a hundred bucks.

You know, and it affects their mood if they lose $40. They're legitimately bummed, which is fine because if that's your hobby and your goal there is to win. There's plenty of people younger than that that the casinos are hobby too. Right. But I mean, so they, they go there and they're not, it's so whatever. So they go to the casino a lot. They're regulars. They're regulars, yes. When they walk in, the bartender says hello and asks how their week's been. Right, but they're not going to the casino in the sense of like, my dad's sitting in a poker room with sunglasses on with, you know, thousands of dollars in chips in front of them. Like they go and they make a day of it and they play five dollar blackjack for a few minutes and nickel slots for a few minutes and go have lunch at the buffet. So this is the story that my dad told me I actually go, so we went out, he goes, he goes, he goes, Jeffrey, get this. So I know, so I sat down. And he said, we always call you Jeffrey. Jeffrey, Jeffrey, get a little to this. I got to tell you this story. So I, he says that they went to the casino and when they pulled in, they noticed that there were a lot more cars there than usual. And he says, you know, we pulled it. There's a lot of cars. We pull into the parking

garage. First level, full, second level, full, third level, full, fourth level, where we park. Our full and our whole row was taken. So they go there enough that they have a row. He goes, we had to park on the roof of the parking garage. And I said, so I said to your mother, Donna, what are you things going on here? We walked into the casino. And before we even got to the gaming room, we passed this room. And it was filled with Jeffrey. This room was the best buffet I had ever seen. And there was a woman standing there and I said to her, hey, what's this all about? And she's like, oh, we're just doing sampling. And my dad says, really? And she says, yeah, we're just doing sampling and tasting and blah, blah, blah. And he goes, really, huh? And she goes, yep, and then she walked away. So your mother and I went in there. And this is at lunchtime. So he proceeds to describe the buffet in detail the way an only an older person would. Jeffrey, you wouldn't believe it. They had chicken fingers and cheesecake and not bite-sized cheesecake,

both slices of cheesecake. Seeing the sides of the shrumps. Yeah, that's what it was. He's like, the chicken fingers were so great. He goes, you know, I've been to those tasting things before where they give you a little plate. We had a full plate and full silverware. It was amazing. And we walked away. My family always adds the price like the discount. My family always adds braids about the discounts. Well, this was free. Remember? So he said, this is he's like, they had ham and cheese roll ups. They had whatever, for whatever reason, he described the toothpick as having the little green cellophane right from the tip of it. Like I make a fancy or whatever. I do. I'll be it. Well, describe food in such detail. That is so funny. So I could, if I thought about it, I'm not busy. That's so true. They're not busy. And they love to tell a story. So so they're telling the whole story, but that pizza and this and that, that Jeffrey, they had a giant tub filled with soda filled with it. Like every kind of soda you could want. You wanted a coke. It was in there. That Pepsi was in there. Sprite was in that soda.

I didn't even hear of they had water that was carbonated like soda. Like the holes like amazed. He had just discovered a new land. So they made two critical decisions during that free lunch buffet. Okay. One, when they discovered that it was there until 6 p.m., they decided that they would stay at the casino until dinner. That was one decision. Smart two meals, two meals, no cost. And two, this is where it starts to go really wrong. Two, they decided mutually that one of them would go out to the car and get a shopping bag that they had in the car to fill with soda. To take home. Because they saw other people with like canvas bags. Yeah. And they were taking some of the pack like the full candy bars. Not those little mini two-byte snickers. Look,

they give you Halloween full candy bars. So he's putting them. And getting old makes you a pack rat or a kleptote. Yes. Well, but now this is a generation that I like to waste anything. Sure. I don't know if this is not wasted. We're going to do this, but they there's a casino that sees 5,000 people a day. So I'm going to read it. But my parents are going to help out the cause. That's right. They made those two decisions. They don't want to they don't know what they're going to do with those drinks. They didn't want them to throw them out. They're not want them to get a waste. They're going to take them home. So they like the mini ketchup bottles or salt peppers. Yes. So they go to the casino or they go into the casino and they do their thing. And I'm sure he didn't tell me this, but I'm sure at the blackjack table more than once. My dad looked at my mom and said, Hey, Donnie, you know what I'm going to get? I'm going to get one of those cheese cakes with the chocolate drizzle on top, like planning for dinner. Well, what I love is also, I'm sure your mother, at least my mother will do this. She'll take the napkins and or nightly cover the food that she's about to take home with this or with the with the fold out the napkin. You're wrapping it with a different exactly like she is at the department store,

gifting a Christmas item. Okay. So so they've now made this decision. So now they're in the casino. They, you know, they have their great time at the casino. Apparently one one of them made a run back for another soda. You know, even though sodas are free in the casino, they didn't have the cherry. Mr. Pib. They didn't have cherry coke zero in the casino, but they wanted to try that, you know, whatever. So they go and a very exciting day for your parents. Oh, huge. So they go out and get the bag. Dinner time. They go back in. They make another sweep of this beautiful buffet. And then they're using their, I'm assuming it's a plastic grocery bag. You know, like, and they're putting different things in there. And apparently mom and dad each have one. So they, of course, but right. So they've picked out a couple sodas. They've got the fancy water that's carbonated like soda. They've I'm sure they've wrapped up a couple things in napkins, candy bars. Of course they did. And they're sitting down in. There's one little grease spot that

shows up on that napkin or socs through. So they're sitting down, eating their second free meal of the day. And somebody comes and sits next to him and says, Hey, how are you guys? And they said, Oh, good. How are you? This is fantastic, right? And the guy says, yes. Can I ask you, can I help you with your badge? And my dad says, I'm sorry, the what, the badge? And the guy says, yeah, can I help you? Have you misplaced your badges? And my dad says, would it understand a badge? He goes, well, did you register? And I was like, Oh, I didn't even know we had to, do we have to sign something? Do we have to fill something out? I mean, he gets anything as well. Do you, uh, do you own a restaurant? And the guy said, my dad says, uh, grocery store? Nope. Online food purveyor. Uh, uh, gourmet cheese shop. Nope. Fishmonger. Oh, uh, and you're, and you're, and you're and your dad wouldn't catch it on. Nope. dessert bar. Uh, uh, coffee shop. No. Oh, no.

Went through every possible food. We could have thrown you in there. Delhi diner. No, no. T.J. Friday's hot dog cart. No, I'm not lying. Well, you can't be in here. This is a trade show for the food service industry. And we are sampling our food for all of upstate New York. And if you're not a registered guest, you can't be in here. And he goes, Oh, I'm so sorry. Then the man pulls their two plates of food away from them and says, wait here while he goes and gets a security guard to walk them out of the room. Oh, well, that's just going to be fine. Harry the sacks of soldiers. They carried the soldiers with him. And my dad told me the story with pride. Years ago, he would have been humiliated. That happened. This is like, we got two meals, they didn't get us at launch. I'm telling, please don't tell that story to anyone younger than you.

I'm telling you it's from 65 and all the way home. They get away with something. 60 years, years old and older. You know what? They get a pass for everything. And I blame that person for escorting them out with security. That was wrong. And to pull their plates away because you're, no, that was wrong. My parents single handedly consumed more than any of the people who probably paid to be there. They stayed for an extra meal. And just so you know, so you have the picture, my parents, when they go to the casino, my dad wears jeans, a hoodie that he's had since I was born and a plaid flannel shirt. And my mom, her sweater, has a fake polo shirt collar on it. The virtue. Okay, can we talk about how confusing weight loss has become? Like one minute, it's carbs are bad. And then the next it's no, actually carbs are fine. But only if you walk 10,000 steps in drinking green juice. And honestly, it's just a lot. And then even if you do lose the weight,

keeping it off is a whole different story. If you're struggling and want something that fits your real life, hers can help.

We may get no phone calls on this because I think it might just be this might just be a marketing campaign. It might be a marketing slogan. All right. But it could lead to good phone calls if we get them. Remember, we have a voice disguise.

So remember, you don't have to use your real name. Right. But the topic is this. Is anything that's ever happened on vacation really stayed on vacation? You've got Vegas on your mic. But I'm not just talking about Vegas. Like, I think we've talked about that before. Like, you know, what's gone in in Vegas? His, his, you know, stay there. But like, is there anything? Rock city, baby. That you have any place that you have traveled to anywhere you have gone with your family without your family, spring break, whatever. I would say as, I would almost let's say we might even have to take spring break out of it unless it's something that you never admitted to your friends, even to your friends who are down there with you. What's what's funny? It can happen. You think my high school spring break. There's a guy that actually that was the way he hit on me. Somebody that we went to school with. And I briefly dated. And I say in finger quotes, because, you know, I've been this way for a long time. And he was trying to use the excuse. Well, we're out of town. And you realize that when you're at a town,

it doesn't count. It's what he said. That's what he said to you. Yeah. And he thought that he was going to be able to, you know, hit that because, you know, we were out of town. It wouldn't count. It was almost like saying, you know, I know you're worried about any number or anything. But don't worry about numbers. Don't count numbers don't increase on vacation. That's totally good guy logic. You know, you're big. It didn't work. But I did have somebody tell me that guy logic. I wouldn't say good guy logic. But you need definitely. Yeah. I mean, I think, I mean, I think definitely groups of friends go on vacations or girls weekends away. And everybody breaks off into, you know, their own little doing their own little thing. Right. And don't share everything with them, especially if they don't want it following them home. So it's possible that you could be on spring break with girlfriends. You could pair. Any girls weekend trip or bachelor at party weekend or and you pair off with a girl or a guy, you guys do your thing or a girl at spring break. I mean, what happens? Happens or, you know, vacation. So it's a whole new world is discovery. And so you do whatever you want to do off in the corner. Your fantasy. Right. And then you come back to your

big group of girlfriends. You don't even tell them that you just made out with the dude. Yeah. Or you say less than what you really did. Hey, Chris, welcome to the bird show. Hey, how are you? Nancy, that's the difference between girls and guys girls say the less of what they really did were guys. Oh my god. It was ridiculous. Then her twin sister showed up. Hey, what's going on, Chris? Not much. Actually, when I went to Penn, my city two years ago with my friend and his girlfriend and a couple of her friends all went. And we were kind of hanging out and I got pissed out with my friend because he was driving my car and ended up re-running somebody. It wasn't bad. But then he was just kind of a not the nicest person for the rest of the trip. The one night we all went out and got pretty drunk and I ended up sleeping with his girlfriend in the bed next to him and in a separate bed. But he was on the other side of the room just passed out and he has no clue at this point. Is he still dating her? As far as I know, he and I don't really talk

after that. Just, I mean, we kind of split ways just because of the way it was and he, you know, a whole bunch of stuff. But nothing ever came out of it. And I don't think she's ever saying things. I think you would have called me on it. You rear-ended my car. We're in your girlfriend. Thought about that, Melissa. But I didn't say it out loud. I did. You said it by proxy. Hey, Kelly needs to be in the voice discizer and Kelly is not her real name. Hi, Kelly. Hello. How are you? I'm good. How are y'all? Good. You're in the voice discizer. Okay, great. I actually went every year starting college on spring break with a whole group, but we had a whole group of best friends. We'd always go together. And this one year we went. And I hooked up on a futon with my guy roommate that I lived with in college for a couple years. We've been best friends since kindergarten. Our families were friends. Oh, that'll always mess up a good friendship. We actually are still friends. And to this day, I really don't think anybody else found out about it. I've never heard from anybody else talking about it. My best friend who,

my girl best friend, her brother was in the room at the time. So I think that he was passed out drunk, though. So when so nobody knows you can be back and neither one of you to told anyone. No, we made a pact. What stays on spring break is staying there. What happens on a futon stays on a futon. That thing says sexy. Right. There's no time. Nothing says sexy than a couch that folds out to an uncomfortable bed with a really thin mattress. It's got a cigarette burn in it. And then when you pull it back up, it takes three people to get there. Hey, Kelly, what's going on? How are you? Do you need to be on the Voices Disguiser? Yeah, please. Okay, good. You are? Yeah, go ahead. You're on the Voices Disguiser. Okay. We went to Jamaica for a bridal party and I hooked up with a groom. Oh, that's wonderful. That was my best friend for the groom, not with a bride.

And he got a little drunk and he was like, let's just do it. One last time, I'm still single. And I was like, okay, you know, sure. So we just don't know. And nobody knows about it. Nobody knows about it. And the couple and the five years now. And the couple is still together? Yeah, they're still together. They have two kids. Wow. And she has no idea. No, she doesn't have an idea. She just thinks that we're the like really good friends. Like where you are friends. Really, really good friends. You know where I guess, but this also happens. It's not necessarily just like a spring break or like a wild vacation scenario, but a work travel scenario too. Like conventions and stuff. I think that might be. Well, why next week? Hey, what's up, Melissa? What's up? Good to know. When it's on a work trip. Didn't you have a Wendy's gun bar for over there? I know. Didn't you have a situation where somebody in here knew someone who would go on a work trip

and hook up with the same guy. It was like an annual convention. They were all meeting the same city. You know, for the big Tupperware convention. And they burp each other. Yeah, it was my friend that was the Tupperware salesman. Nice. The virtue. I have a dating question for you guys. All right, bring it. I need to know whether I should be concerned. And if this is normal. And also how I can bring this up. Okay, because, you know, I have a boyfriend and we've been dating for a while now. And so, maybe it's with our job or maybe this is a normal couple. But oftentimes, if there are sleepovers, it's not at his house. It's at my house because of our jobs and our schedule and the way we wake up and go somewhere. And you're all in all your equipments at your house. Yeah, and for girls, it's just, you got to be at home to get ready for the next day. You know, you guys can sleep on the street and they're fine. Yeah, I mean, like you get up, you dust yourself off, guys. You can go back to your day. Plus you live in that big mansion on East Paces. Right, right, right, so oftentimes it's at my house.

So I leave early and then there was the issue of locking the door, right? And so there's a bottom lock that automatically locks. But I don't really feel safe with the apartment without the deadbolt locked, right? So I want the deadbolt locked. So this is probably a couple of months ago. It becomes apparent that he needs a key, right? Yeah, so for safety reasons and, you know, to make sure that it locked to whatever, I'm like, okay, when you leave, set the alarm, deadbolt the apartment, right? Sure. So now it's been months now that he has a key, but I don't have a key to his place. Oh, not cool, not cool. Isn't it probably because there's really no need for it, because if there's ever a sleepover at his house, then he's there and I'm there. We leave at the same time where it's, you know, maybe on the weekends, whatever, there's no need for me to have to lock it when he's not they're still dead matter. Not cool. Okay, so is there room to be concerned about this?

Yeah, what does it mean? Like what do you think it says? I just love to weigh in on stuff like this. I personally haven't dated anyone in six months, so I might be off on this. But wouldn't it be a reciprocal transaction, like once you provide him with a key, then the next time he sees you and he's able to go to the, you know, A's hardware and go to that neat little, and you just get the special colors. Yeah, I mean, I hope it works, even though you know, you don't get in the thing and it doesn't turn, but whatever you got to go back, but you know, it takes two or three times. Right, so you go and he would present it to you like kind of, you know, like in your case, if you're about to open your key chain, here you go, here's my place. Put a little one key on it. Yeah, I, it's just never come up. It's honestly just, it honestly just has not come up in conversation. It's an awkward thing to bring up. Like how do you bring it up if you don't really need it? Like if there's not a real necessity for it, you know what I'm saying? There was only one time there was a necessity for it, because well, he'd been traveling and I wanted to go over

and like do something nice and like leave like, you know, leave like little notes or whatever when he came back into town. So I am friends with a neighbor and the neighbor let me in. And so that was the only time I would have liked to have had one to go in and like make a cute and leave some stuff and some notes and whatever. The burdens on him. The burdens on him. But how does she bring it up? Like you said, like a psycho to bring it up. Or it would be such a random conversation, because there really is not a whole lot of purpose for it, but it seems imbalanced that he has a key to my place. It is imbalanced. It is imbalanced. It is imbalanced. And I don't have one to his. I've never exchanged keys with somebody just one sided. Because it only really came up from because that's when the that's when the conversation really should have happened because any time that was months ago. Well, shoot. Well, I've really screwed that up. So I need to get the key back and make him ask for it again. Hey, uh, Prisha. Yes. How are you? I'm good. Thank you. Good. So Jen's about to break up, huh? No, I don't think that's it.

But I was in a reverse situation and you know me and my girlfriends were talking and I was like, well, I come, you know, you didn't give him a key. But I felt that, you know, he didn't need one. And so when I did offer the key, it was just like completely horrible because he was like, I was giving it to him out of obligation and not because I actually wanted to. So I think you should just kill out and wait until he just offers up the key. Don't bring it up in conversation. Yeah, I wouldn't even bring it up in conversation. I mean, if there's not a reason, I know that sounds really crazy. But if there's not a really a reason for you to have a key, I think she'll just give it to you in due time. The problem is, I want to give it to him in due time. But me giving it to him, he just like, I feel obligated to just, uh, yeah, it is. The problem is there is no way, thanks, Prisha. The problem is there's no way to bring it up. Like Christine says, you just ask him about it, right? Yeah. I think that you should definitely just ask him about it. But that's a psycho conversation right back.

That's what I'm saying is like, that's where the imbalance comes in is because him not giving a key. And if it sounds psycho and him not wanting to offer the key, that's where the imbalance is. What is it? It seems to symbolize something. Well, I don't think that he's necessarily saying you shouldn't have. And I think that he just forgot. I mean, I do think it's kind of like, he's a guy. Just do this. Sure. Yeah. Like, there's really no reason other than like, like what Melissa saying is, there is there an emotional reason or is there like a symbolism to it? And I think that's why I feel like it's imbalance. Like, well, wait, hey, you know, when am I? I should have one two years. But with girls, it's really no necessity for it. With girls, it's emotional with guys. It's just practical. Practical. He's like, I don't know. Time to go to his hardware. Or whatever it is. Hey, Patrick. Hey, what's going on? How are you? I hate to pay the typical man here. But I'm telling you, this is not even in his brain right now. Yeah. So it's not like you're thinking you're doing the natural. I hate to play just the natural difference to play men and women.

But this isn't even an, I mean, he wouldn't even talk about this. Well, it's just tell him to leave it under the mat. Well, I guess it's a matter of practicality for him. I mean, that's why he has a key at your place. Did he ask for one or did you give him a key on your own? She gives out her keys to a lot of people. Right. No, I gave him one because I wanted my place to be locked, you know, because we come to work so early in the morning. I wanted my place to have the alarm set and the deadbolt locked. So I gave it to him and said, you know, this whole, you know, just doing the bottom lock thing is not going to work for me. I just don't feel safe coming home if, you know, you're already gone by then. What is, it's why it's not even in the say that I'm telling him, he just made a, I mean, I wasn't even sick. So it doesn't mean he doesn't like me. I don't think it's been his brain at all. He's just being a man. What is, I wish women could just, it's just being a girl. How, how long after he, after you gave him the key to the dawn on you,

that you don't have one back the next day, dawned on me. No, honestly, it didn't, it didn't dawn on me until I wanted to go over there and do something nice because he had been out of town. And I was like, well, then that's trying to do something cute and like leave the place looking really nice. And I couldn't get in. And then I thought, oh, and then honestly, that was maybe a month or two ago. And I haven't thought about it really since until it came up in conversation with some friends. And I thought, I don't have a key. Well, Christine's got the plan for you. Okay. You got to create a reason. Yeah, you do. Okay. We need to leave something over there one day whenever you might be at dinner or something and wait until he's gone and say, well, I don't have a key, so I can't get in and get it. You're crafty. So if you know, I like it. Is there any? But then he'd be like, okay, I'll bring it over next. Some mature places on there all the time because I got a key. Yeah, it's a really important thing. All you have to do now is just come up with some time when you know he's going to be at a town for some reason. Right. And then you just get the key from him ahead of time. And say,

well, I want to. Whatever. Okay, I can't. If it doesn't bother you, then it doesn't bother you. It just doesn't bother you. Yeah, she's a woman. It'll bother the virtue. Okay, can we talk about how confusing weight loss has become? Like one minute, it's carbs are bad. And then the next it's, no, actually carbs are fine. But only if you walk 10,000 steps and drink a green juice. And honestly, it's just a lot. And then even if you do lose the weight, keeping it off is a whole different story.

I have a question that maybe you guys either know someone, and I'm sure this has come up on the virtue before. But this question is fueled by John and Kate plus eight. Okay. The TV show. Yeah. And Jen, you'll have to correct me if I'm wrong or fill in the blanks here, but last week, it came out that John or a week or two ago, John was caught like being inappropriate with a 23-year-old girl, right? Yeah, hanging out with a quote unquote friend a whole lot, and leaving her place early in the neighborhood caught. Yeah, leaving her place like six in the morning. And her brothers come out and talk to the tabloids and everything else. So that happened a couple weeks ago. Then last week, I think it came out that Kate was fooling around with her security guard.

Her security man, and then they were having a relationship. And by the way, they can find each other for the first time, Memorial Day weekend, it's when the first episode comes on. They're actually using all this to promote the new season of the show. Seriously? Brilliant. Brilliant, but I feel bad for the kids. So obviously, John and Kate plus eight, there's eight children involved in that relationship. And I think we've talked about this on the show before, and we'll take your phone calls and we'll put you on the voice disguiser, 404-741-Q100. Are there people who just have an understanding? Like if John and Kate, if it was just no, like let's say that you're saying if their scenario was, you know what, just do whatever we got to do. Just try not to get caught. Yeah, and I'm not talking about open relationships and swingers and that type of thing where you're allowed to, you know, because we've talked about that before. What was involved other people together? Right, Wendy's married to a guy named Joe, but they have an arrangement that if,

you know, Joe meets a girl that he really likes, he can tell Wendy about it, and blah, blah, blah, and the whole thing can happen. I'm not talking about that type of open relationship. I'm talking about like almost like, don't ask, don't tell. Yes. Well, didn't pink and carry heart. Have that sort of deal where they're like, when they were married, they could go date other people as long as they didn't find out about it. Yeah. I've always heard that Will and Jay have that kind of a relationship. I've heard that too. Yeah, and you would think it reasons, though, but it would be like a Hollywood thing. Oh, Melissa, everybody's okay. You think Jayda is though, I'm hoping. So the telephone number 404741 Q 100 will put you on the voice. The sky will give you a fake name. And if we don't get any phone calls and so be it. But you would think that that's like a Hollywood generate the story thing. And Melissa kind of threw up a little bucket of water on that with, you know, they're using it to promote the start of the first season. But it could be that if there's a situation where the woman's raising the

kids and everything's great and blah blah and she starts screwing around with somebody and the guy knows it. He might go, you know what? I still got a good deal here. You know, she's still my wife. She's still taking care of my kids. Or the other situation is where the guy, you know, is making a good living and funding the woman's life. I would imagine it's when the relationship becomes practical. And neither one of them are in love with each other. Because if you're still in love with the other person, I don't think you'd be okay with that scenario. But if you have both fallen out of love with each other, you're resolved that your situation is more like roommates, more practical. We have to raise these kids. We have to bring in two incomes. You know, we can even have separate bedrooms, whatever. That's the scenario where I think that something like that would probably work. Because neither one is in love with the other anymore. I've always thought, well, I thought for years at Bill and Hillary Clinton were that way. Oh, I could see that. You know, we're good business partners. We can help each other politically. Just don't get caught. And then I think that when the whole storm happened, it's, well, we got it. Now we have to publicly react. We should have busted.

But yeah, I thought, you know, there are certain couples that I'm sure are together because they're better business partners or partners in life than they are. But they're a little rigid in the bedroom. It's that anything at all. Rigged. And that could be the China Cape scenario. Although, with Jack, can you imagine if the whole thing was 1,000% orchestrated because of the launch of the season? That would be jacked up. It was a sleeping rating stop. It could be horrible. Because I mean, can we not have a family drone? I mean, it's successful already. But can we not have a family drama without there being drama in the family? But how older are the kids? Like would the kids even know at this point? They have two older twins that I think they're aware. Would be aware. The publicity is great though. I'd watch the show. I wouldn't have watched it before, but I'll watch it now. That's what the previews are about right now. They're all both in tears. Hey. That's sad. I know. Commentary in our society. Ashley, welcome to the birch show. Hi. I was actually going to tell you all that I'm going to meet my husband and my husband

who actually received right now. And he'd actually said to me that he doesn't care what I do. Because I'm meeting him or quite young. He just doesn't want to know about it. So you guys, he's your husband or your boyfriend? My husband. So while he's gone, you can do whatever you want. Just don't tell him about it. He can, yeah, whatever you want to do, you can do it. As long as he doesn't find out once he comes home. Pretty much. I'm assuming that once he's home, then it stops. Is that also the agreement? Pretty much. And he actually friends with some of the people that I do this way. So you have followed through? How was he not going to find out if you're going to the friend pool? Yeah, guys. Seriously. Guys can't keep secrets just so you know. There is really, really close friends. They're just more to acquaintances. I think it would have to be totally different. Completely stranger. Like go to Vegas. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Yeah, exactly. Do you let him do the rules of applying the other direction? Yes, actually, they do actually. I'm actually more towards them. I would rather him actually go find a girlfriend for himself if he can. And then when he comes back home, he leaves her and everything's good. Actually, I went here if he brought her back home. What? So you're looking to have a little more spice. A little more spice, if you will. Yeah. See, I would always be so threatened that he would fall in love with her more than he was with me because it was more new. With him, he's a very shy kind of guy. So you would run the show there and you would have nothing to worry about. The bird show.
