Inside the Mind of Adam: Love, Chaos & Building a Beyond-Monogamy Marriage

Episode Type: QUICKIE
Show: Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris

What keeps a man grounded when life, love, and the lifestyle all collide? In this fun, raw, and real QUICKIE, Pris flips the mic on her husband and co-host, Adam, to dig deep into how he balances it all: a fiery wife, a busy podcast, family life, and the ups and downs of non-monogamy.

From jealousy and communication struggles to menopause, ADHD, finances, and the messy moments in marriage, Adam gets vulnerable about what it really takes to stay connected, keep the peace, and grow stronger together. If you’ve ever wondered what makes a relationship survive the chaos of real life and the lifestyle, this one’s for you.

They talk teamwork, love languages, reconnection rituals, emotional self-awareness, and why “meet in the middle” might be the ultimate relationship cheat code. You’ll laugh, relate, and maybe even tear up as Adam shares the heart behind the brand — and why this podcast is so much more than stories and sex talk.

☕ Grab your coffee, your partner, or your favorite toy — this episode is real-life love in the raw.


In This Episode

  • How Adam stays balanced through love, chaos, and menopause
  • The truth about communication and emotional reconnection in long-term relationships
  • Jealousy vs. security in non-monogamy and the lifestyle
  • How teamwork and “meeting in the middle” matter more than chemistry alone
  • Reconnecting after lifestyle events: coffee, food, and real conversations
  • Real talk about finances, stress, and why relationships matter more than money
  • How Beyond Monogamy became a growing community for couples and the curious
  • Adam’s passion for turning this podcast into a lifelong mission for both of them

Top Takeaways

  • Communication beats competition. If you’re trying to “win” an argument, you both lose.
  • Meet in the middle. Love isn’t always 50/50 — it’s about showing up as a team.
  • Hormones are real. Menopause, cycles, mental health and hormones affect communication and reactions for both partners.
  • Appreciation matters. Small acts of service, physical affection, and words of gratitude stack up over time.
  • Reconnection is a ritual. Post-event coffee dates, debriefs, and honest talks keep you grounded and close.
  • Remember your priorities. Money, jobs, and outside stress come and go — your partner, kids, and core relationships are the real foundation.
  • Honesty over perfection. It’s okay to admit when you’re struggling, shutting down, or needing space — as long as you communicate it.

Alright y'all, before we
dive in, a quick heads up.

00:00:11,954 --> 00:00:14,924
This show is raw, real, and
definitely not rated pg.

3
00:00:15,734 --> 00:00:20,474
We're talking about adult themes, sexual
content, and the kind of stuff you

00:00:20,474 --> 00:00:24,824
probably don't want blasting through your
speakers at work or around your kits.

5
00:00:25,424 --> 00:00:29,294
So grab some headphones, pour your
drink of choice and get comfy.

00:00:39,164 --> 00:00:41,174
Sex coaches, not sex couches

00:00:43,004 --> 00:00:47,264
or just a couple of people sharing our
lives, experiences and sexy adventures.

00:00:47,354 --> 00:00:49,244
An ethical non-monogamy.

I love it though.

111
00:03:56,772 --> 00:04:01,722
Uh, you know, honestly, when we,
first, first off, I, I, I pursued

112
00:04:01,722 --> 00:04:04,842
you and I know that I said that
a lot when we first got together.

113
00:04:04,842 --> 00:04:04,902
Yeah.

114
00:04:04,902 --> 00:04:07,992
It was like, that meant a
lot to me because I've never.

115
00:04:08,712 --> 00:04:09,522
Pursued anybody.

116
00:04:09,522 --> 00:04:09,582
Yeah.

117
00:04:09,582 --> 00:04:11,682
You were the first woman
I actually pursued.

118
00:04:12,112 --> 00:04:14,842
So there was a lot that went to that.

119
00:04:14,847 --> 00:04:15,187
Mm-hmm.

120
00:04:15,327 --> 00:04:20,662
Uh, as far as how I felt about you
there was something very different about

121
00:04:20,662 --> 00:04:24,112
you when we were first dating because
with everybody that I had ever dated

122
00:04:24,592 --> 00:04:27,712
you could tell they were kind like
something would come up and they'd be

123
00:04:27,712 --> 00:04:30,022
like kind of scummy and stuff like that.

124
00:04:30,027 --> 00:04:30,257
Mm-hmm.

125
00:04:30,652 --> 00:04:34,642
Something about you when The few
times that we would get into it.

126
00:04:35,032 --> 00:04:37,252
You know, like we would have
an argument of some sort.

127
00:04:38,062 --> 00:04:42,232
You were very adamant about
certain things that I had never

128
00:04:42,232 --> 00:04:44,812
met anybody be adamant about.

129
00:04:44,917 --> 00:04:45,207
Okay.

130
00:04:45,597 --> 00:04:48,652
Like, okay, we need to get over this now.

131
00:04:49,012 --> 00:04:49,222
Yes.

132
00:04:49,312 --> 00:04:50,632
Let's not go to bed angry.

133
00:04:50,692 --> 00:04:50,812
Yes.

134
00:04:50,812 --> 00:04:51,262
Let's talk.

135
00:04:51,622 --> 00:04:55,822
So you were, I'm very stubborn
and I came from a, a, a place of,

136
00:04:56,092 --> 00:04:57,202
I don't wanna talk about this.

137
00:04:57,202 --> 00:04:59,302
You need to leave me alone
and I'll hold the grudge.

138
00:04:59,452 --> 00:04:59,542
Mm-hmm.

139
00:04:59,782 --> 00:05:02,752
You know, for days and you didn't let me.

140
00:05:03,422 --> 00:05:09,332
And you were real kind of lovable about
it, and you were very kind of innocent.

141
00:05:09,842 --> 00:05:13,682
I remember the, the only time I
ever hung up on you on the phone

142
00:05:13,832 --> 00:05:15,752
early on in our relationship.

143
00:05:15,812 --> 00:05:16,082
Yeah.

144
00:05:16,322 --> 00:05:22,712
And you called me back and I remember
answering, and you told me immediately.

145
00:05:24,152 --> 00:05:26,042
I never ever did that to you.

146
00:05:26,102 --> 00:05:27,692
I would never do that to you.

147
00:05:27,697 --> 00:05:27,897
Yeah.

148
00:05:27,992 --> 00:05:29,792
I deserve better respect than that.

149
00:05:29,792 --> 00:05:29,912
Yes.

150
00:05:29,942 --> 00:05:32,057
And there was something
about that moment Yes.

151
00:05:32,432 --> 00:05:36,182
That I sat back and I
was like, she's right.

152
00:05:36,242 --> 00:05:40,592
Like I, she, she deserves the
same respect that she gives me.

153
00:05:40,592 --> 00:05:41,042
Like that.

154
00:05:41,402 --> 00:05:46,322
I don't know what it was about that moment
that was early on in our relationship.

155
00:05:46,712 --> 00:05:46,832
Mm-hmm.

156
00:05:47,612 --> 00:05:51,392
That kind of ingrained
something about you.

157
00:05:51,812 --> 00:05:52,502
I mean, I was.

158
00:05:53,102 --> 00:05:54,782
Head over heels in love with you.

159
00:05:55,262 --> 00:06:00,962
And as we went on, I, I realized I
would give up everything for you.

160
00:06:00,962 --> 00:06:01,952
Like anything and everything.

161
00:06:02,012 --> 00:06:02,252
Yeah.

162
00:06:02,552 --> 00:06:04,562
And so just, just with that alone.

163
00:06:05,312 --> 00:06:06,302
You're frigging crazy.

164
00:06:06,362 --> 00:06:07,802
Like you're, I am.

165
00:06:07,892 --> 00:06:08,162
Yeah.

166
00:06:08,162 --> 00:06:10,562
You've, there's a lot of
facets to you and I, when I say

167
00:06:10,562 --> 00:06:11,522
crazy, I mean that with love.

168
00:06:11,522 --> 00:06:11,792
No.

169
00:06:11,882 --> 00:06:12,032
Yeah.

170
00:06:12,082 --> 00:06:14,662
But there's a lot that,
that goes on with you.

171
00:06:14,662 --> 00:06:19,102
Like there's, you have a billion
ideas and I have to somehow figure

172
00:06:19,102 --> 00:06:20,752
out how to make all of them happen.

173
00:06:21,222 --> 00:06:26,532
And you have, you're slacking, you have
a, you're, you know, you're dying from

174
00:06:26,532 --> 00:06:30,072
a billion different things and you're
sick with all of these different things.

175
00:06:30,402 --> 00:06:31,632
And really there's.

176
00:06:32,232 --> 00:06:34,182
No doctor has ever figured it out.

177
00:06:34,572 --> 00:06:38,412
Like even the doctor's like,
uh, you're healthy and you're

178
00:06:38,412 --> 00:06:39,972
like, but I feel horrible.

179
00:06:40,002 --> 00:06:41,952
Uh, I don't know.

180
00:06:42,252 --> 00:06:43,092
Change your oil.

181
00:06:43,092 --> 00:06:43,602
I don't know.

182
00:06:45,012 --> 00:06:46,302
You know, there's, there's a lot.

183
00:06:46,302 --> 00:06:53,442
And, and then when you turn it to you
with the lifestyle, it's funny that we

184
00:06:53,442 --> 00:06:56,502
would even be in the lifestyle much less.

185
00:06:57,027 --> 00:06:59,847
Where we are with a
podcast in the lifestyle.

186
00:07:00,987 --> 00:07:04,047
Because you are so jealous or worth I am.

187
00:07:04,047 --> 00:07:05,187
You've you're getting,
you're getting better.

188
00:07:05,187 --> 00:07:08,727
No, I am, I'm a very jealous person.

189
00:07:08,727 --> 00:07:11,097
But it's not for insecurities.

190
00:07:11,127 --> 00:07:12,417
I, yeah.

191
00:07:12,507 --> 00:07:15,777
I don't think I, I, I know my worth.

192
00:07:15,777 --> 00:07:16,617
I know.

193
00:07:16,717 --> 00:07:21,157
I am fine with the way I
look and, and all that stuff.

194
00:07:21,157 --> 00:07:24,937
Like, it's not physical
jealousy that I usually get.

195
00:07:25,627 --> 00:07:32,617
It's more intellectual
jealousy, insecurities.

196
00:07:32,677 --> 00:07:33,217
Yeah.

197
00:07:33,247 --> 00:07:33,517
Yeah.

198
00:07:33,517 --> 00:07:34,867
We've discussed that before.

199
00:07:34,867 --> 00:07:34,927
Yeah.

200
00:07:35,197 --> 00:07:42,247
But you know, it's, it's even with those,
I, I never figured you to be able to.

201
00:07:43,642 --> 00:07:47,692
Open your mind up well enough to
accept this kind of lifestyle.

202
00:07:47,692 --> 00:07:47,752
Yeah.

203
00:07:47,812 --> 00:07:49,372
To accept non-monogamy.

204
00:07:49,612 --> 00:07:49,672
Yeah.

205
00:07:49,672 --> 00:07:54,052
To, to let me enjoy the aspects
that I want to enjoy of it.

206
00:07:54,052 --> 00:07:55,612
I, I just never saw it happening.

207
00:07:56,122 --> 00:08:04,942
And there was some one day out of so
many, but it was just one day that

208
00:08:04,942 --> 00:08:06,527
you just came out and you were like.

209
00:08:08,287 --> 00:08:09,457
It makes sense to me now.

210
00:08:09,667 --> 00:08:10,357
Yeah.

211
00:08:10,357 --> 00:08:10,987
I mean, I've got it.

212
00:08:11,202 --> 00:08:11,492
Yeah.

213
00:08:11,797 --> 00:08:12,127
Yeah.

214
00:08:12,132 --> 00:08:16,027
Well, and, and even you said it was like,
it, it was like a switch just flipped.

215
00:08:16,027 --> 00:08:16,927
It was something different.

216
00:08:16,987 --> 00:08:17,407
Yeah.

217
00:08:17,467 --> 00:08:19,507
And it just made sense to you.

218
00:08:19,907 --> 00:08:23,477
But I don't know, I just, it you
just kind of to, to balance it all.

219
00:08:24,197 --> 00:08:25,127
To balance you.

220
00:08:25,637 --> 00:08:29,807
Uh, it's really just a mental stability
of I know she's gonna come around.

221
00:08:30,167 --> 00:08:30,287
Yeah.

222
00:08:30,347 --> 00:08:30,737
I know.

223
00:08:30,737 --> 00:08:31,847
She's gonna get better.

224
00:08:31,847 --> 00:08:32,447
I know that.

225
00:08:32,507 --> 00:08:32,567
It.

226
00:08:33,257 --> 00:08:36,767
'cause you always do, you've
always worked on getting better.

227
00:08:36,917 --> 00:08:38,417
Yeah, I mean, I do.

228
00:08:38,537 --> 00:08:39,077
I do.

229
00:08:39,107 --> 00:08:39,167
Yeah.

230
00:08:39,167 --> 00:08:40,607
Well, thank you for your patience.

231
00:08:40,637 --> 00:08:40,727
Mm-hmm.

232
00:08:41,027 --> 00:08:45,317
So what do you think, what do you
think mainly like keeps us strong?

233
00:08:45,317 --> 00:08:49,337
Is it like, well first of all,
what is your love language?

234
00:08:49,487 --> 00:08:50,877
What would you say your love language is?

235
00:08:52,367 --> 00:08:52,907
To me.

236
00:08:53,207 --> 00:08:55,007
To you, like what do you like?

237
00:08:55,007 --> 00:08:55,937
Physical affection.

238
00:08:56,177 --> 00:08:56,297
Mm-hmm.

239
00:08:56,537 --> 00:08:59,177
I love the physical touch,
you know, that sort of thing.

240
00:08:59,177 --> 00:09:01,817
Like, it does a lot for me, but I'm
that guy who wants to feel wanted.

241
00:09:02,117 --> 00:09:02,417
Yeah.

242
00:09:02,647 --> 00:09:08,047
So when somebody physically
just in passing whatever Yeah.

243
00:09:08,047 --> 00:09:08,067
You know?

244
00:09:08,632 --> 00:09:08,962
Yeah.

245
00:09:09,052 --> 00:09:10,342
And what is mine?

246
00:09:11,062 --> 00:09:13,482
Yours is acts of service.

247
00:09:13,512 --> 00:09:14,322
Yeah, yeah.

248
00:09:14,412 --> 00:09:18,282
You, you love acts of service and do you,
and you love to give gifts and do you

249
00:09:18,282 --> 00:09:20,082
think we balance each other with that?

250
00:09:20,082 --> 00:09:22,512
Do you think I'm very affectionate
to you and do you think our

251
00:09:22,512 --> 00:09:24,432
love language is compatible?

252
00:09:24,582 --> 00:09:26,022
Yeah, I think so.

253
00:09:26,082 --> 00:09:26,262
Yeah.

254
00:09:26,262 --> 00:09:26,682
Me too.

255
00:09:26,742 --> 00:09:27,492
I think so.

256
00:09:27,492 --> 00:09:30,462
You know, you're very
physically affectionate with me.

257
00:09:30,462 --> 00:09:30,522
Yeah.

258
00:09:30,912 --> 00:09:32,922
Almost to the point to where, you know.

259
00:09:33,732 --> 00:09:37,302
Cock blocking in a way at,
at, uh, clubs and stuff.

260
00:09:37,982 --> 00:09:40,532
And, and you know, it's hard for
me to really complain about that

261
00:09:40,532 --> 00:09:42,032
because I already told you No, no, no.

262
00:09:42,032 --> 00:09:43,112
I wouldn't complain about it.

263
00:09:43,112 --> 00:09:43,497
You didn't break away.

264
00:09:43,832 --> 00:09:46,262
I wouldn't complain about it because
I'm, I, I don't, I don't, some

265
00:09:46,532 --> 00:09:48,032
wait, you're my security blanket.

266
00:09:48,032 --> 00:09:48,182
Is it?

267
00:09:48,182 --> 00:09:53,372
So I'm just, when you've mentioned it more
than twice, it's for entertainment value.

268
00:09:53,432 --> 00:09:55,052
Besides, it helps me get to my point.

269
00:09:55,082 --> 00:09:55,442
Okay.

270
00:09:55,472 --> 00:09:59,582
Which is, you know, you are,
you show me physical affection.

271
00:09:59,582 --> 00:10:02,042
I, so it's hard for me to complain
about that because that's what I like.

272
00:10:02,162 --> 00:10:02,432
Yeah.

273
00:10:03,497 --> 00:10:08,417
Okay, so what is one thing
that we do to help us reconnect

274
00:10:08,417 --> 00:10:09,647
When the lifestyle is crazy.

275
00:10:11,507 --> 00:10:13,007
When the lifestyle is crazy.

276
00:10:13,037 --> 00:10:13,427
Yeah.

277
00:10:13,667 --> 00:10:15,077
We have hectic life.

278
00:10:16,112 --> 00:10:17,282
Like, we're busy.

279
00:10:17,282 --> 00:10:22,292
We're not only busy, like I, you see me,
people I like get out of, I'm at work.

280
00:10:22,322 --> 00:10:23,252
I don't even change.

281
00:10:23,252 --> 00:10:23,852
I'm here.

282
00:10:23,852 --> 00:10:23,942
Yeah.

283
00:10:24,362 --> 00:10:25,982
And it is very busy.

284
00:10:25,982 --> 00:10:29,182
And if I wasn't right here standing,
I'd be in the same clothes doing making

285
00:10:29,182 --> 00:10:30,322
dinner and stuff like that, kitchen stuff.

286
00:10:30,322 --> 00:10:37,352
So it's, I'm very curious to what you
what do you think makes us like reconnect,

287
00:10:37,622 --> 00:10:39,062
let's just put it in the lifestyle.

288
00:10:39,062 --> 00:10:42,332
So like, after a lifestyle event.

289
00:10:43,367 --> 00:10:44,087
Whatever.

290
00:10:44,267 --> 00:10:44,537
Yeah.

291
00:10:45,677 --> 00:10:49,127
What do you like to do
to reconnect with me?

292
00:10:49,997 --> 00:10:51,407
Well, there's a couple of things.

293
00:10:51,487 --> 00:10:55,927
Because obviously there's
the basic, we just, we just

294
00:10:55,927 --> 00:10:57,337
finished up a lifestyle event.

295
00:10:57,337 --> 00:11:03,697
We go to a bed, you know, whether it
be at a hotel bed or, or a house bed.

296
00:11:03,697 --> 00:11:04,987
But you know, we.

297
00:11:05,707 --> 00:11:07,147
Physically engage each other.

298
00:11:07,297 --> 00:11:07,687
Right.

299
00:11:07,687 --> 00:11:08,377
That's a given.

300
00:11:08,617 --> 00:11:08,917
Yeah.

301
00:11:09,007 --> 00:11:13,717
Uh, but as far as emotional reconnecting,
the thing that we do the best, it's,

302
00:11:13,717 --> 00:11:16,507
it's our happy place is to go out to eat.

303
00:11:16,627 --> 00:11:16,987
Yeah.

304
00:11:17,017 --> 00:11:18,517
And we'll, or go get our coffee.

305
00:11:18,517 --> 00:11:20,947
Go get our coffee, and
usually go out to eat too.

306
00:11:20,947 --> 00:11:21,007
Yeah.

307
00:11:21,012 --> 00:11:23,497
And, and we'll sit there and we'll recap.

308
00:11:23,617 --> 00:11:23,917
Yeah.

309
00:11:23,917 --> 00:11:27,157
Or, you know, or we'll, you know,
drink our coffee and we'll have

310
00:11:27,157 --> 00:11:28,567
a whole conversation about it.

311
00:11:28,567 --> 00:11:33,367
And that right there is where I get to
pick your brain on different experiences

312
00:11:33,367 --> 00:11:34,627
that you've had and how you've.

313
00:11:34,627 --> 00:11:37,772
Felt about certain things and you
get to talk to me about things and

314
00:11:37,772 --> 00:11:40,112
it's just a, it's good, you know?

315
00:11:40,202 --> 00:11:40,772
I like that.

316
00:11:40,802 --> 00:11:40,982
Yeah.

317
00:11:40,982 --> 00:11:43,082
We've learned a lot from
those conversations we have.

318
00:11:44,222 --> 00:11:47,462
Okay, so we know you've
been married before.

319
00:11:47,872 --> 00:11:50,902
You've had, I have previous relationships.

320
00:11:51,082 --> 00:11:51,502
Yes, I have.

321
00:11:51,532 --> 00:11:54,742
Um, I wanna say that this is
your longest relationship.

322
00:11:55,192 --> 00:11:59,242
That is a good, uh, and this is, this
is my longest, longest relationship.

323
00:11:59,242 --> 00:11:59,422
Confirm.

324
00:11:59,422 --> 00:11:59,482
Yeah.

325
00:11:59,932 --> 00:12:01,342
So we kind of grew up together.

326
00:12:01,552 --> 00:12:01,882
Yes.

327
00:12:01,912 --> 00:12:02,302
Right?

328
00:12:02,302 --> 00:12:02,902
Absolutely.

329
00:12:03,322 --> 00:12:08,722
So when did you realize that
it actual, it actually takes

330
00:12:08,722 --> 00:12:11,482
teamwork, not just chemistry.

331
00:12:12,607 --> 00:12:14,677
When did that kind of pop in your head?

332
00:12:15,007 --> 00:12:17,587
You know, honestly, it was a while.

333
00:12:17,797 --> 00:12:19,177
Yeah, it was a while.

334
00:12:19,177 --> 00:12:20,167
I would say it was a while.

335
00:12:20,167 --> 00:12:23,947
I would say, I would say probably
when we stopped being poly.

336
00:12:24,157 --> 00:12:24,607
Yeah.

337
00:12:25,267 --> 00:12:28,897
Uh, so I, after we stopped being poly.

338
00:12:29,992 --> 00:12:32,692
You started finding your voice a bit more.

339
00:12:32,992 --> 00:12:33,172
Yes.

340
00:12:33,232 --> 00:12:38,092
And also you and I started learning
how to properly communicate.

341
00:12:38,662 --> 00:12:38,842
Yes.

342
00:12:38,872 --> 00:12:42,112
Uh, because we thought we had a
really good way of communicating.

343
00:12:42,442 --> 00:12:43,102
Mm-hmm.

344
00:12:43,103 --> 00:12:43,113
Mm-hmm.

345
00:12:43,113 --> 00:12:43,153
And we did not.

346
00:12:43,762 --> 00:12:47,237
And we learned, no, we had to stop
throwing the spatulas and stuff.

347
00:12:47,377 --> 00:12:50,182
We, we learned, we learned
how to communicate.

348
00:12:50,182 --> 00:12:50,662
Definitely.

349
00:12:50,662 --> 00:12:51,892
And so with that.

350
00:12:52,477 --> 00:12:57,847
I think everything just kind of started
to mesh and we started to realize, you

351
00:12:57,847 --> 00:13:02,147
know, that's when I really started to
realize, but you also you know, you

352
00:13:02,147 --> 00:13:06,587
always gave a lot as far as service
to the family, and you still do.

353
00:13:06,617 --> 00:13:07,157
Yes.

354
00:13:07,227 --> 00:13:09,837
You know, you do
everything and, and you do.

355
00:13:09,837 --> 00:13:12,597
So like, it's, it's like a nature.

356
00:13:12,657 --> 00:13:13,047
Yeah.

357
00:13:13,047 --> 00:13:14,217
It's not even a question.

358
00:13:14,222 --> 00:13:14,342
Yeah.

359
00:13:14,362 --> 00:13:14,662
You know?

360
00:13:14,787 --> 00:13:14,907
Yeah.

361
00:13:15,157 --> 00:13:18,037
And so I started realizing.

362
00:13:18,592 --> 00:13:22,672
You know, this woman needs my help and I
need to, you know, kind of pick up Slack

363
00:13:22,672 --> 00:13:24,412
in certain arenas and stuff like that.

364
00:13:24,412 --> 00:13:27,407
I mean, I think we work really well
together, but I will, I will agree that

365
00:13:27,407 --> 00:13:31,037
your thoughts of it has to be teamwork.

366
00:13:31,817 --> 00:13:33,527
It's was there before, but.

367
00:13:34,487 --> 00:13:38,627
I spoil you, the kiddos and stuff.

368
00:13:38,627 --> 00:13:38,687
Yeah.

369
00:13:38,687 --> 00:13:40,337
And it's like, no, I got it.

370
00:13:40,337 --> 00:13:40,877
No, I got it.

371
00:13:40,877 --> 00:13:41,392
So, yeah.

372
00:13:41,397 --> 00:13:41,777
Yeah.

373
00:13:41,777 --> 00:13:42,827
We are rather spoiled.

374
00:13:42,947 --> 00:13:43,367
Yeah.

375
00:13:43,937 --> 00:13:44,957
Good for stepping up.

376
00:13:45,107 --> 00:13:45,947
I appreciate it.

377
00:13:46,037 --> 00:13:47,027
I just want you happy.

378
00:13:47,027 --> 00:13:48,707
If that makes you happy,
then by all means.

379
00:13:48,737 --> 00:13:49,217
All right.

380
00:13:49,547 --> 00:13:51,437
Now this is the fun part, guys.

381
00:13:51,437 --> 00:13:52,152
This is the fun part.

382
00:13:52,187 --> 00:13:53,807
This is even more fun right here.

383
00:13:53,837 --> 00:13:54,347
Oh, okay.

384
00:13:54,647 --> 00:13:57,887
So this is the, you know, the little.

385
00:13:59,087 --> 00:14:00,197
The little exciting part.

386
00:14:00,422 --> 00:14:00,712
Okay.

387
00:14:00,717 --> 00:14:00,977
Okay.

388
00:14:01,937 --> 00:14:05,747
Who is more likely to start
an argument, you or me,

389
00:14:06,747 --> 00:14:08,067
to start an argument?

390
00:14:09,147 --> 00:14:10,617
To start an argument?

391
00:14:12,057 --> 00:14:12,417
Whew.

392
00:14:13,437 --> 00:14:13,977
I think me, I

393
00:14:14,977 --> 00:14:15,487
really.

394
00:14:16,732 --> 00:14:17,752
I think me, actually, no.

395
00:14:17,812 --> 00:14:20,002
Yeah, I think you, yeah, yeah.

396
00:14:20,062 --> 00:14:21,052
No, no.

397
00:14:21,052 --> 00:14:21,687
It, and it's not.

398
00:14:21,767 --> 00:14:23,807
I will, it's not that I will
keep the argument going, trying.

399
00:14:23,807 --> 00:14:24,352
It's not that I'm trying.

400
00:14:24,352 --> 00:14:25,582
Yeah, you'll keep the argument going.

401
00:14:25,582 --> 00:14:27,772
It's not really the, that
I try to start an argument.

402
00:14:27,772 --> 00:14:29,572
It's just, I don't know
how to get my point across.

403
00:14:29,572 --> 00:14:34,492
Sometimes ADHD, I just don't
know my, I don't understand my

404
00:14:34,492 --> 00:14:35,662
words, so then I have to like.

405
00:14:36,322 --> 00:14:36,982
Hold on, baby.

406
00:14:36,982 --> 00:14:37,402
Lemme chat.

407
00:14:37,402 --> 00:14:38,032
GPT this real quick.

408
00:14:38,032 --> 00:14:40,942
But you've gotten, you've gotten better
about stopping me in my tracks and

409
00:14:40,942 --> 00:14:43,072
going, I know I'm not wording that right.

410
00:14:43,072 --> 00:14:43,972
Just give me a second.

411
00:14:43,972 --> 00:14:45,022
Gimme a moment, sir. Okay.

412
00:14:45,112 --> 00:14:46,312
Let me figure this out.

413
00:14:46,312 --> 00:14:46,882
Spit it out.

414
00:14:46,942 --> 00:14:49,762
You know who gives in first?

415
00:14:50,272 --> 00:14:54,652
Oh, that would be, well, I guess you,

416
00:14:55,652 --> 00:14:57,887
who says, I love you first each day?

417
00:15:00,602 --> 00:15:03,417
Me, I do Uhuh.

418
00:15:04,217 --> 00:15:05,017
I say it first.

419
00:15:05,237 --> 00:15:05,672
No, I do.

420
00:15:05,942 --> 00:15:06,332
I do.

421
00:15:06,332 --> 00:15:08,012
Because don't I have to?

422
00:15:08,162 --> 00:15:10,562
I have to be the one to wake
you up and stuff usually.

423
00:15:11,642 --> 00:15:12,512
No, you don't.

424
00:15:12,512 --> 00:15:14,792
You're still snoring when
my arms are going off.

425
00:15:15,092 --> 00:15:16,502
Not if I wake you up sexually.

426
00:15:17,282 --> 00:15:19,202
I usually throw in and I
love you in there somewhere.

427
00:15:19,622 --> 00:15:20,312
Oh man.

428
00:15:20,882 --> 00:15:23,462
Who plans the best dates?

429
00:15:25,097 --> 00:15:25,847
Oh dude.

430
00:15:26,147 --> 00:15:29,747
So I feel like even though this
is a show about me, I feel like

431
00:15:29,747 --> 00:15:33,317
it's really like subconsciously
on under the level about you.

432
00:15:33,707 --> 00:15:36,137
You, you, you plan the best dates.

433
00:15:36,137 --> 00:15:36,407
Yes.

434
00:15:36,407 --> 00:15:38,747
What else do you do that's
great in this relationship?

435
00:15:38,942 --> 00:15:40,132
Who's more romantic?

436
00:15:40,522 --> 00:15:40,812
Yeah.

437
00:15:40,912 --> 00:15:42,827
Versus more practical.

438
00:15:42,832 --> 00:15:42,972
Yeah.

439
00:15:42,972 --> 00:15:43,697
What did I just say?

440
00:15:43,757 --> 00:15:43,847
Huh?

441
00:15:44,267 --> 00:15:44,927
You guys heard it?

442
00:15:45,257 --> 00:15:46,127
You guys heard it.

443
00:15:47,447 --> 00:15:49,307
I really feel like this
is the Priscilla show.

444
00:15:49,457 --> 00:15:50,237
You do honey.

445
00:15:50,612 --> 00:15:51,032
You do.

446
00:15:52,472 --> 00:15:52,802
All right.

447
00:15:52,832 --> 00:15:53,792
Holy crap.

448
00:15:54,302 --> 00:15:56,942
So this is like real talk
for people right here.

449
00:15:56,942 --> 00:16:01,412
This is for couples because I've been
getting this like question and, and how

450
00:16:01,412 --> 00:16:03,062
do we navigate and how do we do this?

451
00:16:03,362 --> 00:16:09,162
I want you or I want you
what advice would you give to

452
00:16:09,162 --> 00:16:11,052
couples trying to grow together?

453
00:16:11,892 --> 00:16:12,942
And not a part.

454
00:16:13,122 --> 00:16:20,322
So you and I have, I have ADHD I
am very headstrong as so are you.

455
00:16:20,982 --> 00:16:26,652
But what, and you know, you've, like you
said, you've, you realized that we needed

456
00:16:26,652 --> 00:16:29,202
that teamwork, communication and all that.

457
00:16:29,982 --> 00:16:34,122
What advice would you give to couples
trying to grow together and not apart?

458
00:16:34,962 --> 00:16:36,132
Meet in the middle man.

459
00:16:36,342 --> 00:16:39,612
You know, I, I think that's what it all
comes down to is meeting into the middle.

460
00:16:39,612 --> 00:16:39,732
Mm-hmm.

461
00:16:40,002 --> 00:16:44,472
Because so many people, even when
they're fighting, everybody wants to win.

462
00:16:44,922 --> 00:16:45,312
Yeah.

463
00:16:45,312 --> 00:16:46,692
I gotta win, you know?

464
00:16:46,722 --> 00:16:46,782
Yeah.

465
00:16:46,782 --> 00:16:48,672
And, and, and you gotta
lose this argument.

466
00:16:48,672 --> 00:16:51,912
I gotta, and, and when somebody's
trying to win, nobody wins.

467
00:16:51,942 --> 00:16:52,272
Yeah.

468
00:16:52,332 --> 00:16:54,882
So, really, you gotta stop.

469
00:16:54,962 --> 00:16:56,252
So you have to stop.

470
00:16:56,822 --> 00:16:58,202
Stop arguing with each other.

471
00:16:58,202 --> 00:17:02,222
You have to talk to each other and you
have to be patient with each other.

472
00:17:02,227 --> 00:17:02,427
Mm-hmm.

473
00:17:02,512 --> 00:17:06,272
And I say that because, uh, a lot
of my fellas, they don't understand

474
00:17:06,272 --> 00:17:10,802
that women go into menopause or maybe
they have that time of the month and

475
00:17:10,802 --> 00:17:12,452
there are hormones that are involved.

476
00:17:12,782 --> 00:17:15,722
And I feel like men need to be a
bit more understanding to that.

477
00:17:15,932 --> 00:17:16,112
Yes.

478
00:17:16,212 --> 00:17:18,432
Of course, also in the same breath.

479
00:17:18,972 --> 00:17:24,762
It doesn't give a, a woman no
a reason to to act horribly.

480
00:17:24,762 --> 00:17:25,272
It doesn't.

481
00:17:25,272 --> 00:17:30,612
And women, you really have
to open yourself up to that.

482
00:17:30,612 --> 00:17:32,352
I'm just gonna add a little sprinkle.

483
00:17:32,532 --> 00:17:36,432
You have to open up yourself to that
because had I not opened up that part

484
00:17:36,432 --> 00:17:38,322
of me to you, you would've never known.

485
00:17:38,327 --> 00:17:39,612
No, we would've never known.

486
00:17:39,612 --> 00:17:42,072
We would gone through the, we've
had conversation through the con.

487
00:17:42,102 --> 00:17:45,012
We just would've been not happy.

488
00:17:45,042 --> 00:17:46,272
'cause we were not.

489
00:17:46,647 --> 00:17:49,437
Happy Not with each other,
just not in ourselves.

490
00:17:49,437 --> 00:17:50,307
We were just not happy.

491
00:17:50,427 --> 00:17:50,697
Yeah.

492
00:17:50,697 --> 00:17:52,587
I mean, I could tell that
there was changes afoot.

493
00:17:52,797 --> 00:17:52,917
Yeah.

494
00:17:52,977 --> 00:17:57,027
Uh, but you know, we guys, we have to
really be understanding to that because

495
00:17:57,207 --> 00:18:02,277
there's a lot of things that are happening
in women that we don't have to deal with

496
00:18:02,307 --> 00:18:07,707
and we don't understand, and they have
difficulty explaining in the moment.

497
00:18:08,047 --> 00:18:11,437
And so if you can be patient with that
and you can wait and just kind of mm-hmm.

498
00:18:11,677 --> 00:18:12,287
Work through it.

499
00:18:12,817 --> 00:18:12,877
It.

500
00:18:13,357 --> 00:18:14,587
The reward is there.

501
00:18:14,947 --> 00:18:15,307
Yeah.

502
00:18:15,427 --> 00:18:16,927
You know, the reward is there.

503
00:18:16,987 --> 00:18:17,767
That's good.

504
00:18:17,857 --> 00:18:18,127
Yeah.

505
00:18:18,397 --> 00:18:19,087
I like that.

506
00:18:19,147 --> 00:18:23,437
That's how I feel about it now,
because I feel this is the Adam show.

507
00:18:23,977 --> 00:18:24,902
What is it?

508
00:18:25,122 --> 00:18:25,957
It is.

509
00:18:26,017 --> 00:18:27,097
Okay.

510
00:18:27,097 --> 00:18:27,107
What?

511
00:18:27,157 --> 00:18:30,667
What makes you feel appreciated
in a healthy relationship?

512
00:18:30,667 --> 00:18:32,497
I would say we have a
healthy relationship.

513
00:18:32,502 --> 00:18:33,157
Yeah, I know we do.

514
00:18:33,487 --> 00:18:34,927
What makes you feel appreciated?

515
00:18:35,557 --> 00:18:36,847
What makes me feel appreciated?

516
00:18:36,847 --> 00:18:39,197
Well, you know, it's
just the simple things.

517
00:18:39,227 --> 00:18:39,557
Yeah.

518
00:18:39,707 --> 00:18:41,597
Literally showing appreciation.

519
00:18:41,807 --> 00:18:41,987
Yeah.

520
00:18:42,017 --> 00:18:45,407
Uh, literally, you know,
the physical affection.

521
00:18:45,407 --> 00:18:46,937
Hey, thank you so much for doing.

522
00:18:46,967 --> 00:18:47,327
Of course.

523
00:18:47,327 --> 00:18:50,297
Well, I don't really get that from you.

524
00:18:50,657 --> 00:18:52,487
You tend to focus on the negatives.

525
00:18:52,487 --> 00:18:55,207
So you walk in, you're like
hello, you didn't do this.

526
00:18:55,207 --> 00:18:55,597
And I'm like.

527
00:18:56,287 --> 00:18:58,252
But did you see all the
other stuff they did?

528
00:18:58,267 --> 00:18:58,387
Yeah.

529
00:18:58,387 --> 00:19:01,252
So my honey is like a, I
mean like a teenage boy.

530
00:19:01,522 --> 00:19:05,092
So you gotta give 'em the appreciation
and then you can tell them what

531
00:19:05,092 --> 00:19:06,502
they haven't finished doing.

532
00:19:06,802 --> 00:19:08,812
I mean, come on, gimme a break.

533
00:19:08,812 --> 00:19:09,172
You know?

534
00:19:09,172 --> 00:19:11,242
So, uh, that's, that's my thing.

535
00:19:11,272 --> 00:19:12,112
I like that.

536
00:19:12,772 --> 00:19:13,192
Yeah.

537
00:19:13,492 --> 00:19:17,452
So how do you deal with, I'm not
really a shut down type of person,

538
00:19:17,452 --> 00:19:18,712
but how do you deal with that?

539
00:19:18,712 --> 00:19:21,322
How do you deal with when I have
moments where I'm just like, I

540
00:19:21,322 --> 00:19:23,312
wanna just shut down and I don't
wanna communicate with you.

541
00:19:24,217 --> 00:19:27,187
Do you, do you think
people should give space?

542
00:19:27,187 --> 00:19:27,877
Absolutely.

543
00:19:28,357 --> 00:19:29,737
Let people cool down.

544
00:19:29,767 --> 00:19:30,187
Yes.

545
00:19:30,217 --> 00:19:30,607
Yeah.

546
00:19:30,667 --> 00:19:31,027
Yes.

547
00:19:31,027 --> 00:19:35,497
If that's what they request, that's
what you should give if, and the

548
00:19:35,497 --> 00:19:36,997
transparency should be there.

549
00:19:37,147 --> 00:19:37,507
Yeah.

550
00:19:37,567 --> 00:19:42,157
So if I want you to just give
me a minute, give me a minute.

551
00:19:42,697 --> 00:19:44,917
You know, don't, don't infringe on that.

552
00:19:44,917 --> 00:19:47,257
Don't, don't push for it, you know?

553
00:19:47,257 --> 00:19:47,317
Yeah.

554
00:19:47,317 --> 00:19:49,207
And that goes for, for both sides.

555
00:19:49,237 --> 00:19:50,437
It's like, be.

556
00:19:51,457 --> 00:19:54,127
Very obvious about,
okay, I need some time.

557
00:19:54,127 --> 00:19:55,447
You need to walk away from me.

558
00:19:55,537 --> 00:19:55,597
Yeah.

559
00:19:55,597 --> 00:19:58,207
If you don't express that,
that person's not gonna know.

560
00:19:58,747 --> 00:20:02,347
But also to the other person, if
they tell you, I need some time,

561
00:20:02,347 --> 00:20:03,937
you need to just gimme some space.

562
00:20:03,967 --> 00:20:04,237
Yeah.

563
00:20:04,387 --> 00:20:05,497
Give 'em some space.

564
00:20:05,827 --> 00:20:10,717
And then after that, you know, after a,
a, a small amount of time, however long it

565
00:20:10,717 --> 00:20:14,737
has to be, you know, you knock on the door
or whatever, and you go, Hey, can you let

566
00:20:14,737 --> 00:20:17,212
me know when you're done with your space?

567
00:20:18,097 --> 00:20:18,877
So that we can talk.

568
00:20:19,117 --> 00:20:19,267
Yeah.

569
00:20:19,267 --> 00:20:20,437
And then leave it at that.

570
00:20:20,497 --> 00:20:20,797
Yeah.

571
00:20:20,917 --> 00:20:22,962
Things will cool off and it'll work.

572
00:20:22,962 --> 00:20:26,857
I feel, I feel like a lot of our friends
and a lot of just listeners and stuff are

573
00:20:26,857 --> 00:20:30,427
probably going through some really, really
hard times right now, and I kind of wanted

574
00:20:30,427 --> 00:20:38,857
to give them a little bit of, of like, not
advice, but these are some tough times and

575
00:20:39,757 --> 00:20:41,497
I know the holidays are about to come up.

576
00:20:41,497 --> 00:20:45,667
People get really sad and whatnot,
and you're in the lifestyle.

577
00:20:46,417 --> 00:20:49,837
And I just wanted to let y'all,
and I wanted Adam to show you that

578
00:20:50,137 --> 00:20:52,897
communication can be really healthy.

579
00:20:52,897 --> 00:20:53,592
It's a game changer.

580
00:20:53,892 --> 00:20:54,232
It is.

581
00:20:54,412 --> 00:20:55,312
It is a game changer.

582
00:20:55,317 --> 00:21:00,247
And, and you can be, we've had our
moments, I mean, we're not perfect.

583
00:21:00,247 --> 00:21:05,392
We've had our shouts where we're
just yelling and then one of us has

584
00:21:05,392 --> 00:21:07,837
to like calm down and be like, okay.

585
00:21:08,367 --> 00:21:09,327
Every, everybody has that.

586
00:21:09,387 --> 00:21:10,467
Yeah, everybody.

587
00:21:10,527 --> 00:21:12,027
And I feel like.

588
00:21:12,987 --> 00:21:14,277
People are at the edge.

589
00:21:14,277 --> 00:21:18,507
And so I wanted to make a very
fun and lighthearted little show.

590
00:21:18,777 --> 00:21:19,017
Yeah.

591
00:21:19,017 --> 00:21:24,267
Well, you know, I mean it's the number
one cause for divorces is finances.

592
00:21:24,297 --> 00:21:24,627
Yes.

593
00:21:24,657 --> 00:21:26,707
You know that the number
one cause for divorces Yes.

594
00:21:26,707 --> 00:21:27,387
Is finances.

595
00:21:27,387 --> 00:21:27,507
Yes.

596
00:21:27,987 --> 00:21:30,447
And, and disagreements on finances.

597
00:21:30,452 --> 00:21:30,462
Mm-hmm.

598
00:21:30,537 --> 00:21:32,937
And we are living through a very
tough time where everybody's

599
00:21:32,937 --> 00:21:33,927
having financial issues.

600
00:21:33,927 --> 00:21:34,017
We are.

601
00:21:34,017 --> 00:21:34,107
Yeah.

602
00:21:34,407 --> 00:21:38,277
Uh, but I think it's very important
for everybody to remember that.

603
00:21:39,717 --> 00:21:44,337
Your number one priority should be
your partner, your family, your family.

604
00:21:44,342 --> 00:21:44,502
Mm-hmm.

605
00:21:44,667 --> 00:21:47,367
Your, the people that you love the most.

606
00:21:47,727 --> 00:21:51,567
Finances are always gonna be hard and Yes.

607
00:21:51,667 --> 00:21:54,547
I understand there's bills gotta
be paid and sometimes they gotta

608
00:21:54,547 --> 00:21:57,997
get pushed to the back or this and
that and, and that is stressful.

609
00:21:58,117 --> 00:21:58,297
Mm-hmm.

610
00:21:58,807 --> 00:22:00,247
But don't forget that.

611
00:22:00,802 --> 00:22:04,492
The number one thing is your
relationships with your people.

612
00:22:04,642 --> 00:22:04,912
Yeah.

613
00:22:04,912 --> 00:22:09,532
You know, your family, your kids,
your, your spouse, your, your, those,

614
00:22:09,532 --> 00:22:14,632
those are the people that, how you act
towards them, they will always remember.

615
00:22:14,812 --> 00:22:15,172
Yeah.

616
00:22:15,382 --> 00:22:18,112
And, and so if you horrible.

617
00:22:18,892 --> 00:22:20,512
Yeah, they'll remember that.

618
00:22:20,572 --> 00:22:20,812
Yes.

619
00:22:20,972 --> 00:22:22,052
And it yes.

620
00:22:22,082 --> 00:22:24,932
Kind of leads to more toxicity.

621
00:22:25,202 --> 00:22:25,622
Yeah.

622
00:22:25,672 --> 00:22:29,242
So yeah, I, I mean, we've
been through some tough times.

623
00:22:29,242 --> 00:22:33,052
We've, we've had car repossessions,
I mean, we've been evicted before.

624
00:22:33,052 --> 00:22:34,642
I'm the only one working right now.

625
00:22:34,672 --> 00:22:36,112
You are the only one working right now.

626
00:22:36,112 --> 00:22:38,962
I, it's, it's, you know, it, it's hard.

627
00:22:38,962 --> 00:22:43,102
It's, it's one of those things where
it's like we, we do what we can do.

628
00:22:43,162 --> 00:22:43,582
Yes.

629
00:22:43,682 --> 00:22:43,902
And.

630
00:22:45,037 --> 00:22:49,237
I have constantly told you because between
the two of us, you are the worrier.

631
00:22:49,477 --> 00:22:49,927
Yes.

632
00:22:49,987 --> 00:22:51,727
Uh, so you tend to worry a lot.

633
00:22:52,327 --> 00:22:52,417
Mm-hmm.

634
00:22:52,657 --> 00:22:52,667
Mm-hmm.

635
00:22:52,667 --> 00:22:56,407
And it's like I've always
said, everything works out.

636
00:22:56,497 --> 00:22:56,797
Yes.

637
00:22:56,827 --> 00:22:58,087
Everything has always worked out.

638
00:22:58,117 --> 00:22:58,267
Yes.

639
00:22:58,327 --> 00:22:59,497
And every year.

640
00:23:00,052 --> 00:23:03,147
You've seen that every year
has gotten better and better.

641
00:23:03,147 --> 00:23:03,467
Oh yeah.

642
00:23:03,467 --> 00:23:04,612
And things always work out.

643
00:23:04,672 --> 00:23:04,882
Yeah.

644
00:23:04,882 --> 00:23:06,142
And things get better and better.

645
00:23:06,142 --> 00:23:08,152
And I've always promised you
that, that every year that

646
00:23:08,152 --> 00:23:10,342
would pass, it will get better.

647
00:23:10,792 --> 00:23:16,102
And if you're not a positive
person, you might not realize that.

648
00:23:16,642 --> 00:23:18,947
And that's really where I
was trying to focus on that.

649
00:23:18,947 --> 00:23:21,172
Oh me, I roll my eyes all
the time when he says that.

650
00:23:21,202 --> 00:23:23,812
'cause it's like, dude, you have no idea.

651
00:23:25,282 --> 00:23:28,252
I'm telling you, but
there's something to it.

652
00:23:28,762 --> 00:23:30,532
That's something to, it's
like, you have no idea.

653
00:23:30,562 --> 00:23:34,372
Uh, you know, and when and when it comes
to relationships, you know, I am not a

654
00:23:34,372 --> 00:23:39,652
relationship guru, but what I know is
I know that you are my priority Yes.

655
00:23:39,712 --> 00:23:41,152
Over anything else.

656
00:23:41,482 --> 00:23:43,702
And with that foundation.

657
00:23:43,707 --> 00:23:44,037
Mm-hmm.

658
00:23:44,737 --> 00:23:46,267
Everything is built on.

659
00:23:46,387 --> 00:23:46,477
Mm-hmm.

660
00:23:46,717 --> 00:23:51,487
So, so with that, since you are my,
my priority, if you come up to me and

661
00:23:51,487 --> 00:23:54,037
you say, this means everything to me.

662
00:23:54,187 --> 00:23:54,457
Yeah.

663
00:23:54,907 --> 00:23:55,777
Well, I'm gonna listen.

664
00:23:56,077 --> 00:23:56,347
Yeah.

665
00:23:56,587 --> 00:24:00,697
I'm gonna listen, I'm gonna
take note and I'm gonna tell

666
00:24:00,697 --> 00:24:02,647
you what means everything to me.

667
00:24:02,707 --> 00:24:03,007
Yeah.

668
00:24:03,097 --> 00:24:05,647
And you're gonna listen and we're
gonna figure this out together.

669
00:24:05,677 --> 00:24:05,902
We're gonna figure it out.

670
00:24:06,157 --> 00:24:06,217
Yeah.

671
00:24:06,817 --> 00:24:08,642
But I know that's your partner.

672
00:24:09,022 --> 00:24:09,242
Yes.

673
00:24:09,662 --> 00:24:10,322
That's your partner.

674
00:24:10,327 --> 00:24:10,687
Exactly.

675
00:24:10,687 --> 00:24:12,877
Like you have to, you have to listen.

676
00:24:12,877 --> 00:24:16,357
And I know, let me tell you, you can't
listen to each other when you're arguing.

677
00:24:16,987 --> 00:24:17,197
No.

678
00:24:17,437 --> 00:24:23,047
When you're yelling louder than the
person next to you, that's not okay.

679
00:24:23,197 --> 00:24:23,827
It's not.

680
00:24:24,157 --> 00:24:24,457
No.

681
00:24:24,457 --> 00:24:25,642
And you're not gonna get anywhere with it.

682
00:24:25,642 --> 00:24:26,282
You're not gonna get anywhere.

683
00:24:26,437 --> 00:24:27,757
You're not gonna get anywhere with it.

684
00:24:27,757 --> 00:24:30,937
You're just, you guys are gonna get
fluffier and fluffier with anger.

685
00:24:31,357 --> 00:24:31,447
Mm-hmm.

686
00:24:31,477 --> 00:24:33,397
And it's just not necessary.

687
00:24:33,647 --> 00:24:34,067
You know.

688
00:24:35,207 --> 00:24:40,247
The piece needs to be had before
communication can continue.

689
00:24:40,397 --> 00:24:40,727
Yeah.

690
00:24:41,387 --> 00:24:47,597
And if both are at a 10, yeah, and
both need to be down to a four.

691
00:24:47,627 --> 00:24:50,477
I feel like we tell each, we ask
each other that sometimes like we

692
00:24:50,477 --> 00:24:52,457
do, and I think you can read it too.

693
00:24:52,457 --> 00:24:58,847
I'm always exhausted and tired and
I'm grumpy and I have to talk myself.

694
00:24:59,192 --> 00:25:03,332
Into coming into the house and
seeing what chaos has happened.

695
00:25:03,662 --> 00:25:10,262
I will say that reactions make everything
they do, and if, if you react poorly

696
00:25:10,982 --> 00:25:13,442
then everything's gonna go downhill.

697
00:25:13,712 --> 00:25:13,892
Yeah.

698
00:25:13,892 --> 00:25:17,522
When, when we get into arguments, it's
because I've reacted to something.

699
00:25:17,852 --> 00:25:18,212
Yeah.

700
00:25:18,392 --> 00:25:18,872
Poorly.

701
00:25:19,497 --> 00:25:23,127
Or it's because you've reacted in
a way that, and, and now I think

702
00:25:23,127 --> 00:25:26,997
we've gotten better about whenever
there's a bad reaction, I think one

703
00:25:26,997 --> 00:25:30,987
of us looks at each other and goes,
okay, you're triggering me right now.

704
00:25:31,047 --> 00:25:31,407
Yeah.

705
00:25:31,797 --> 00:25:36,117
And I'm about to lose my
shit if you keep on with it.

706
00:25:36,117 --> 00:25:36,842
Or we say, you know what I mean?

707
00:25:37,137 --> 00:25:40,767
Or we say like, okay, you're,
you're coming at me a certain

708
00:25:40,767 --> 00:25:41,967
way and it's just gonna make.

709
00:25:42,927 --> 00:25:44,787
It's gonna make me react a different way.

710
00:25:44,847 --> 00:25:45,207
Yeah.

711
00:25:45,327 --> 00:25:45,597
Yeah.

712
00:25:45,602 --> 00:25:48,237
And so, and it sounds like
a lot, it sounds like a lot.

713
00:25:48,237 --> 00:25:48,387
It does.

714
00:25:48,387 --> 00:25:49,707
We were not those people.

715
00:25:49,887 --> 00:25:50,337
Yeah.

716
00:25:50,337 --> 00:25:54,867
Uh, it sounds like a lot, but let me tell
you something, man, instead of you know,

717
00:25:54,867 --> 00:25:56,787
popping off with anger immediately mm-hmm.

718
00:25:57,027 --> 00:26:00,417
And handling it that way, my
blood pressure don't get raised.

719
00:26:00,537 --> 00:26:02,612
I don't have to worry about
having a stroke or a heart attack.

720
00:26:03,372 --> 00:26:05,712
So maybe, I don't know, maybe I'm
gonna live a little bit longer.

721
00:26:05,922 --> 00:26:07,092
Yeah, I think so.

722
00:26:07,302 --> 00:26:07,602
Yeah.

723
00:26:07,607 --> 00:26:08,887
And the world will be happy there.

724
00:26:08,887 --> 00:26:09,942
Well, I wanted to, you
know, I wanted to see pe.

725
00:26:09,972 --> 00:26:14,232
I wanted to like just talk and
just have a little, I don't know,

726
00:26:14,292 --> 00:26:16,122
pick your brain kind of thing.

727
00:26:16,152 --> 00:26:17,812
You know, you love to
hear yourself talk, so.

728
00:26:18,592 --> 00:26:20,002
They all love to hear you.

729
00:26:20,062 --> 00:26:21,862
I love to hear myself talk.

730
00:26:21,862 --> 00:26:23,602
I'm so narcissistic.

731
00:26:24,622 --> 00:26:25,912
That's all I want to hear is my voice.

732
00:26:25,912 --> 00:26:27,262
And let me tell you something, I do.

733
00:26:27,532 --> 00:26:31,342
I hear myself talk all the time
because these shows, I have to listen

734
00:26:31,342 --> 00:26:34,252
to it like 40 times all the time
just to make, I don't even listen,

735
00:26:34,252 --> 00:26:36,382
make sure that it's, I don't, I
can't listen to it and it's too much.

736
00:26:36,382 --> 00:26:38,602
And then, guys, this is how crazy I am.

737
00:26:38,992 --> 00:26:40,552
I've heard it 40 times.

738
00:26:40,822 --> 00:26:45,952
I scheduled it to drop, then
it drops, and I listen to it.

739
00:26:46,407 --> 00:26:48,477
Because I have to make
sure that it dropped.

740
00:26:48,477 --> 00:26:48,987
Okay.

741
00:26:49,047 --> 00:26:49,587
You know?

742
00:26:50,037 --> 00:26:52,407
And I listened to it and I'm
like, huh, that was a good show.

743
00:26:52,497 --> 00:26:53,727
That was, I forgot that I said that.

744
00:26:55,092 --> 00:26:58,752
You know, or I'll hear something that you
said that I didn't hear in the moment.

745
00:26:58,782 --> 00:27:00,762
'cause I was too busy
thinking of a retort.

746
00:27:00,852 --> 00:27:01,242
Yes.

747
00:27:01,302 --> 00:27:02,472
Or listening to myself talk.

748
00:27:02,472 --> 00:27:03,192
You do that a lot.

749
00:27:03,192 --> 00:27:03,852
It happens.

750
00:27:03,912 --> 00:27:05,022
Yeah, it happens.

751
00:27:05,322 --> 00:27:08,472
I think that the, the big thing
that works for us is that we

752
00:27:08,472 --> 00:27:09,477
both agree we want to be happy.

753
00:27:10,577 --> 00:27:10,997
Yeah.

754
00:27:10,997 --> 00:27:12,827
So I would, I wanted to
kind of end with that.

755
00:27:12,827 --> 00:27:15,617
So like, some really key
important stuff, right?

756
00:27:15,647 --> 00:27:18,347
We wanna be happy, we wanna
be happy, we communicate.

757
00:27:18,347 --> 00:27:20,417
I, you know, we don't wanna
fight, we don't want to, we don't

758
00:27:20,417 --> 00:27:21,827
want to argue with each other.

759
00:27:22,157 --> 00:27:24,407
Uh, we don't want to
have those bad feelings.

760
00:27:24,797 --> 00:27:25,607
Your favorite?

761
00:27:25,607 --> 00:27:26,807
Agree to disagree.

762
00:27:26,987 --> 00:27:29,312
I can't stand, agree to
disagree, but it is what it is.

763
00:27:29,312 --> 00:27:30,227
Agree to disagree.

764
00:27:30,227 --> 00:27:31,517
It's a thing like.

765
00:27:31,942 --> 00:27:35,752
We don't always see eye to eye and that's
okay, but we should, when I'm right all

766
00:27:35,752 --> 00:27:40,042
the time, I'm right all the time and
we don't ever see, she said wrongly.

767
00:27:40,072 --> 00:27:40,492
Yeah.

768
00:27:40,972 --> 00:27:44,662
No, I mean, I, I guess agree to disagree.

769
00:27:44,692 --> 00:27:44,932
Yeah.

770
00:27:44,937 --> 00:27:45,177
Yeah.

771
00:27:45,332 --> 00:27:47,372
We've never threatened
to leave each other.

772
00:27:47,612 --> 00:27:48,812
No, no.

773
00:27:48,812 --> 00:27:49,862
That's not even an option.

774
00:27:49,862 --> 00:27:50,312
No.

775
00:27:50,612 --> 00:27:53,342
And you know where we're
at in our relationship.

776
00:27:53,822 --> 00:27:56,822
I've told you there's not
a single thing that can.

777
00:27:57,427 --> 00:28:00,967
Really make me wanna leave you that
I don't think that we can work out.

778
00:28:01,207 --> 00:28:01,357
Yeah.

779
00:28:01,387 --> 00:28:04,657
Except for one very specific instance.

780
00:28:05,137 --> 00:28:10,477
And that's if I find out and I see
actual proof of you badmouthing

781
00:28:10,477 --> 00:28:15,487
me to other people, that is
unforgivable, that's malicious.

782
00:28:15,487 --> 00:28:16,897
But even like, and mine is
even like cheating on me or

783
00:28:16,897 --> 00:28:18,187
anything, like, I'm good.

784
00:28:18,187 --> 00:28:21,007
Mine is, you know, I, I don't know.

785
00:28:21,757 --> 00:28:22,897
I don't think I have one.

786
00:28:23,047 --> 00:28:23,377
Really?

787
00:28:23,677 --> 00:28:24,217
Yeah.

788
00:28:24,547 --> 00:28:25,172
You hurt my children.

789
00:28:26,002 --> 00:28:27,687
Well, that would never happen
because they're my children too.

790
00:28:27,687 --> 00:28:29,422
Yeah, you're a very, yeah,
you're a very sweet person.

791
00:28:29,422 --> 00:28:31,162
So that's something that
would've really happen.

792
00:28:31,162 --> 00:28:32,872
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

793
00:28:33,082 --> 00:28:35,542
I mean, don't threaten each other.

794
00:28:35,542 --> 00:28:38,602
It's not, it's not necessary.

795
00:28:39,082 --> 00:28:40,012
Talk to each other.

796
00:28:40,432 --> 00:28:41,572
Remember your priorities.

797
00:28:41,632 --> 00:28:42,922
Remember your priorities.

798
00:28:43,012 --> 00:28:46,462
If your priorities are to take,
take care of your spouse and

799
00:28:46,462 --> 00:28:47,727
your kids and to be happy.

800
00:28:48,502 --> 00:28:49,972
Remember those priorities.

801
00:28:50,002 --> 00:28:50,092
Mm-hmm.

802
00:28:50,092 --> 00:28:52,132
And then it'll be easier
not to lose your shit.

803
00:28:52,132 --> 00:28:55,107
Communicate, communicate,
communicate all the way.

804
00:28:55,312 --> 00:28:55,972
Communicate.

805
00:28:56,147 --> 00:28:57,467
I, I, I can't smash that enough.

806
00:28:57,467 --> 00:29:00,652
Even if you don't like to see each
other and you don't want to send a text.

807
00:29:00,652 --> 00:29:03,232
We've had text messaging, apologies.

808
00:29:03,232 --> 00:29:04,732
Text messaging, arguments.

809
00:29:04,732 --> 00:29:05,782
We've had everything.

810
00:29:06,112 --> 00:29:11,172
I so yeah, I just wanna, you know,
everybody sees us and they're like, oh.

811
00:29:11,397 --> 00:29:14,907
F you're always happy and
blah, blah, blah, blah.

812
00:29:14,907 --> 00:29:18,507
And yeah, I just wanted to, you know,
Hey man, you know, I'm not the, I'm

813
00:29:18,507 --> 00:29:19,917
not the easiest person to live with.

814
00:29:19,917 --> 00:29:21,417
I mean, you, you put
up with a lot of crap.

815
00:29:22,047 --> 00:29:23,847
Just the same as I put
up with a lot of crap.

816
00:29:23,847 --> 00:29:27,477
But what you, what you guys
see on the show, this is real.

817
00:29:27,477 --> 00:29:28,287
This is us.

818
00:29:28,347 --> 00:29:28,407
Yeah.

819
00:29:28,467 --> 00:29:32,757
And we would have this conversation
exactly like this even if we

820
00:29:32,757 --> 00:29:33,717
weren't recording right now.

821
00:29:34,057 --> 00:29:37,837
Because this is how we
interact with each other.

822
00:29:37,927 --> 00:29:38,137
Yeah.

823
00:29:38,137 --> 00:29:40,387
And it's okay to talk to your spouse.

824
00:29:40,762 --> 00:29:46,672
This way, it's okay to talk to your spouse
and, and I can't emphasize that enough.

825
00:29:46,822 --> 00:29:46,882
Yeah.

826
00:29:46,942 --> 00:29:51,562
Because so many of us are in a
relationship with somebody for so

827
00:29:51,562 --> 00:29:57,112
long and we don't know how to express
the very thing that's inside of us.

828
00:29:57,112 --> 00:29:57,172
Yeah.

829
00:29:57,592 --> 00:29:58,942
And no one can just
don't know how to say it.

830
00:29:59,002 --> 00:30:01,942
And I know that there's other places
and it's like we, we can't really tell

831
00:30:01,942 --> 00:30:03,802
you how you can talk to your spouse.

832
00:30:04,252 --> 00:30:04,732
Everybody's different.

833
00:30:04,732 --> 00:30:08,902
You don't, you don't need someone to
tell you how to talk to your spouse, but.

834
00:30:09,682 --> 00:30:14,572
There's friends that you can reach out
to if maybe you wanna get your words

835
00:30:14,572 --> 00:30:19,402
right or you chat GPT or you don't
know how to express whatever you're

836
00:30:19,402 --> 00:30:22,882
feeling and maybe your friend has gone
through it or something like that.

837
00:30:23,362 --> 00:30:24,292
And that's okay.

838
00:30:24,292 --> 00:30:29,062
And guys, keep in mind, like he said,
us women, man, we are so hormonal.

839
00:30:29,422 --> 00:30:32,242
It's, it's a thing and it's, it is.

840
00:30:32,242 --> 00:30:33,297
And you know, I, it's hard.

841
00:30:33,322 --> 00:30:34,942
I know for guys speaking.

842
00:30:35,392 --> 00:30:39,202
As a guy, I, not a lot of us
know about that sort of stuff.

843
00:30:39,202 --> 00:30:42,742
Now I knew about it ahead of
time because my mom was very

844
00:30:42,742 --> 00:30:44,422
vocal about it in our household.

845
00:30:44,422 --> 00:30:44,482
Yeah.

846
00:30:44,512 --> 00:30:46,012
When she was going through menopause.

847
00:30:46,462 --> 00:30:48,262
Uh, so I had our experiences.

848
00:30:48,292 --> 00:30:50,872
I knew what we had dealt with,
but I only knew what we had dealt

849
00:30:50,872 --> 00:30:54,202
with from my father's end, and
my father was a bit of a bastard.

850
00:30:54,592 --> 00:30:56,542
Uh, so with that.

851
00:30:57,142 --> 00:31:01,342
All I knew was I wanted to be
more understanding to my wife

852
00:31:01,342 --> 00:31:03,382
than my father was to my mother.

853
00:31:03,772 --> 00:31:07,672
And so when we started seeing
signs of that, I knew that I

854
00:31:07,672 --> 00:31:09,442
had to be a bit more sensitive.

855
00:31:09,472 --> 00:31:12,142
Now, I didn't know what exactly
I was gonna be dealing with.

856
00:31:12,652 --> 00:31:16,792
Um, and I think that's the hard
part for a lot of us is even the

857
00:31:16,792 --> 00:31:19,642
person going through it doesn't know
what they're gonna be dealing with.

858
00:31:19,647 --> 00:31:21,712
And, and keep in mind
men go through shit too.

859
00:31:21,742 --> 00:31:22,102
Yeah.

860
00:31:22,162 --> 00:31:23,632
I mean, dude, those guys are hormonal.

861
00:31:23,662 --> 00:31:25,312
This, and I know a lot of folks,
this man, I've been with him

862
00:31:25,312 --> 00:31:26,542
for a very long time, and.

863
00:31:27,052 --> 00:31:30,952
I've seen the ups and the
downs and the changing stuff

864
00:31:30,952 --> 00:31:32,452
and oh man, I get depressed.

865
00:31:32,452 --> 00:31:34,732
I have days where I do
not want to get outta bed.

866
00:31:35,032 --> 00:31:35,122
Mm-hmm.

867
00:31:35,362 --> 00:31:37,162
I don't want to answer my phone.

868
00:31:37,192 --> 00:31:37,282
Mm-hmm.

869
00:31:37,522 --> 00:31:41,302
I, I'll, I'll have people that I talk to
every single day and all of a sudden they

870
00:31:41,302 --> 00:31:43,132
won't hear from me, you know, at all.

871
00:31:43,432 --> 00:31:44,992
W we're human man.

872
00:31:45,052 --> 00:31:45,112
Yeah.

873
00:31:45,112 --> 00:31:47,722
There's not a single one of
us except for robots that can,

874
00:31:47,782 --> 00:31:49,342
that can act any other way.

875
00:31:49,402 --> 00:31:49,792
Yeah.

876
00:31:49,882 --> 00:31:56,902
And the best way to figure it all out is
with 100% open honesty and communication.

877
00:31:56,902 --> 00:31:56,962
Yeah.

878
00:31:56,962 --> 00:31:58,072
And I can't say that enough.

879
00:31:58,432 --> 00:32:01,192
You just have to just come out with it.

880
00:32:01,462 --> 00:32:01,552
Yeah.

881
00:32:01,582 --> 00:32:02,272
You just say it.

882
00:32:02,272 --> 00:32:02,967
Yes, you do.

883
00:32:03,142 --> 00:32:06,502
And I would, I think a lot of us
would rather have hurt feelings

884
00:32:07,102 --> 00:32:09,982
and know the honest truth openly.

885
00:32:10,792 --> 00:32:13,372
Then lies to our face, you know?

886
00:32:13,942 --> 00:32:14,242
Yeah.

887
00:32:14,302 --> 00:32:14,842
That's just me.

888
00:32:15,112 --> 00:32:15,442
I don't know.

889
00:32:16,462 --> 00:32:17,752
So how are you doing mentally, sir?

890
00:32:18,262 --> 00:32:20,212
Mentally, I'm doing pretty good.

891
00:32:20,322 --> 00:32:27,702
I will say, since we're talking
so openly the podcast is always

892
00:32:27,702 --> 00:32:30,612
my, my number one obsession.

893
00:32:30,617 --> 00:32:30,917
Mm-hmm.

894
00:32:31,897 --> 00:32:33,357
And this is.

895
00:32:34,077 --> 00:32:34,712
Yes, this is our baby.

896
00:32:34,712 --> 00:32:37,557
I have to remind him that he
has to stop at a certain time.

897
00:32:37,767 --> 00:32:38,667
This is our baby.

898
00:32:38,787 --> 00:32:38,937
Mm-hmm.

899
00:32:39,177 --> 00:32:45,017
And, and, uh, you know, since I
got laid off I live, breathe, eat.

900
00:32:45,182 --> 00:32:46,427
I, I do everything.

901
00:32:46,457 --> 00:32:47,807
It's, it's all podcast.

902
00:32:48,227 --> 00:32:52,547
And I'm doing so for
a, a couple of reasons.

903
00:32:52,857 --> 00:32:58,677
First and foremost, I love this,
like, I love this creative outlet.

904
00:32:58,707 --> 00:33:00,357
I love being able to com.

905
00:33:00,702 --> 00:33:07,692
Communicate with such an awesome community
that we've built because we've built an

906
00:33:07,692 --> 00:33:10,992
entire community of over 10,000 people.

907
00:33:11,112 --> 00:33:11,202
Mm-hmm.

908
00:33:12,762 --> 00:33:17,772
In several different countries, including
the us, several different states.

909
00:33:18,072 --> 00:33:23,412
These are people that listen to our show
and they come back twice a week and they

910
00:33:23,412 --> 00:33:25,422
listen and they interact and they're just.

911
00:33:25,527 --> 00:33:28,977
Yeah, they're a part of our family
and I just think that's so incredible.

912
00:33:28,977 --> 00:33:30,177
And if we're gonna, we appreciate it.

913
00:33:30,177 --> 00:33:31,557
Put our name on it.

914
00:33:31,947 --> 00:33:33,267
It has to be great.

915
00:33:33,312 --> 00:33:33,532
Yes.

916
00:33:33,987 --> 00:33:37,647
And then the other part of it too
is I would love for us to be able to

917
00:33:37,647 --> 00:33:39,597
do this for the rest of our lives.

918
00:33:39,597 --> 00:33:39,927
That'd be great.

919
00:33:39,927 --> 00:33:44,367
And I would love it if you didn't have
to work a daytime job so that we could

920
00:33:44,757 --> 00:33:49,647
interview and do traveling as much as,
as we need to for the sake of this show.

921
00:33:49,707 --> 00:33:49,887
Yes.

922
00:33:50,047 --> 00:33:54,817
And so both of those reasons
I am working, uh, tirelessly.

923
00:33:54,862 --> 00:33:54,952
Yes.

924
00:33:55,312 --> 00:33:57,562
To get this where we need to have it.

925
00:33:57,832 --> 00:33:58,372
I love it.

926
00:33:58,462 --> 00:33:58,792
Yeah.

927
00:33:58,852 --> 00:33:59,577
And so, well, I appreciate it.

928
00:33:59,872 --> 00:34:00,772
I appreciate it.

929
00:34:01,052 --> 00:34:03,902
I hope our listeners, I,
I, I appreciate you guys.

930
00:34:04,182 --> 00:34:08,772
And I really, I do it for you guys
because I've quit the show so many times

931
00:34:08,772 --> 00:34:12,972
and I'm reminded that there's a lot
of people out there who actually rely.

932
00:34:13,557 --> 00:34:18,507
On this show, whether it be to get through
boredom, whether it be to take some advice

933
00:34:18,697 --> 00:34:21,697
some people are having a bad day, they
listen to the show, they feel better.

934
00:34:21,697 --> 00:34:23,197
I think that's incredible.

935
00:34:23,587 --> 00:34:26,827
And for those of you who feel that way,
when you go outta your way to tell us

936
00:34:26,827 --> 00:34:28,987
that, like all I can say is thank you.

937
00:34:29,267 --> 00:34:33,017
You know, you really make our day
with that kind of praise and, uh, it

938
00:34:33,227 --> 00:34:35,717
it reminds us of, of why we do this.

939
00:34:36,887 --> 00:34:37,217
Yeah.

940
00:34:37,517 --> 00:34:37,997
I like that.

941
00:34:38,447 --> 00:34:38,867
Yeah.

942
00:34:38,957 --> 00:34:39,407
Well, thank you.

943
00:34:39,767 --> 00:34:40,157
Hey.

944
00:34:40,682 --> 00:34:41,702
That's what I'm here for.

945
00:34:42,357 --> 00:34:43,772
I appreciate it and uh, I think.

946
00:34:44,522 --> 00:34:45,782
I think this was a really good show.

947
00:34:47,297 --> 00:34:47,857
I think this is fun.

948
00:34:47,917 --> 00:34:48,257
Of course.

949
00:34:48,257 --> 00:34:50,612
You know, we gotta do our long,
it was the Priscilla show, Al.

950
00:34:50,672 --> 00:34:51,962
Hey, I can't help it.

951
00:34:52,022 --> 00:34:52,862
It was the Priscilla show.

952
00:34:52,862 --> 00:34:54,032
I was just talking to you.

953
00:34:54,032 --> 00:34:55,142
We're just having a conversation.

954
00:34:55,142 --> 00:34:58,502
Every, every conversation is a
Priscilla conversation, so I suppose so.

955
00:34:58,532 --> 00:35:03,022
