00:00:01.300 --> 00:00:03.927
Oh my god, I just totally got catfished.

00:00:03.927 --> 00:00:05.953
He looks absolutely nothing like his picture.

00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:11.070
So I found out, the guy that I've been dating is married with kids.

00:00:11.070 --> 00:00:13.214
His wife just reached out to me.

00:00:15.621 --> 00:00:16.783
Welcome to the Meat Market.

00:00:16.783 --> 00:00:20.051
The single scene is a slaughterhouse and we are here to devour it.

00:00:20.051 --> 00:00:20.922
We are your hosts.

00:00:20.922 --> 00:00:25.233
I'm Lindsay, I'm Jess and today's sizzling single is Henry welcome.

00:00:26.684 --> 00:00:27.928
Hey, good evening ladies.

00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:33.252
You flew all the way to London on New Year's Eve to take a girl out on a first date.

00:00:33.252 --> 00:00:34.703
I did, and you do that often.

00:00:34.743 --> 00:00:43.072
Tell us about that I just, there's 8 billion people on the planet and the logic is sound.

00:00:43.072 --> 00:00:45.273
If you do the math, it's like there's only 4% of the world's population are in the US.

00:00:45.273 --> 00:00:45.348
And the logic is sound.

00:00:45.348 --> 00:00:46.823
If you do the math, it's like there's only 4% of the world's population are in the US.

00:00:46.823 --> 00:00:52.865
And at some point you know you're kind of dating, and there are these peaks and valleys and lots of valleys.

00:00:52.865 --> 00:00:55.070
So I thought, well, let me just expand.

00:00:55.070 --> 00:00:56.402
You know my horizons.

00:00:56.402 --> 00:01:00.371
If I'm, if I'm really looking for love, then I should be looking for love.

00:01:00.371 --> 00:01:04.784
So I thought, well, I'll just I'll stick with the English speaking countries first, See love.

00:01:04.784 --> 00:01:07.388
So I thought, well, I'll just I'll stick with the English speaking countries first and then see how that goes.

00:01:07.388 --> 00:01:08.670
You know, I'm half Mexican, half Scottish.

00:01:08.670 --> 00:01:11.453
So I thought, all right, I'll start there first and then we'll see how that goes.

00:01:11.453 --> 00:01:13.055
Maybe I'll drift over to the Latin countries.

00:01:17.028 --> 00:01:19.359
Were the London lasses worth the trip?

00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.623
They were no solid love connections.

00:01:22.623 --> 00:01:24.653
But I think we talked a little bit about the one, the one that I flew out for.

00:01:24.653 --> 00:01:26.120
Yeah, I flew out for New Year's Eve.

00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:37.533
We'd been chatting, we'd FaceTiming and she was enjoying the fact that there was some distance, because apparently people have a tendency to just show up unannounced.

00:01:37.533 --> 00:01:44.025
And she was like so she's like it's actually kind of nice because I don't feel like there's this pressure of needing to connect with you sooner rather than later.

00:01:44.025 --> 00:01:52.676
She's and I'm like well, I like it from the perspective of um, this eliminates that, that physical piece.

00:01:52.676 --> 00:01:57.173
Right, you keep that at bay, because you know I'm a guy.

00:01:57.173 --> 00:02:03.310
If we're sitting there having a conversation, at some point I'm going to be like I wonder, I wonder how she kisses.

00:02:03.310 --> 00:02:03.891
You know what I mean.

00:02:03.891 --> 00:02:13.330
And then you start to drift off and then you're not really paying attention to the conversation start daydreaming chemistry is a real thing, right?

00:02:13.411 --> 00:02:15.657
I mean, pheromones, are those things are?

00:02:15.657 --> 00:02:24.913
I mean, pheromones have gotten me into I can't say relationships, but certainly things have progressed because the pheromone levels were high.

00:02:24.913 --> 00:02:38.161
And then later on you're just like oh well, that was fun, but no long-term commitment you went on a date with someone from london, someone from scotland, someone from ireland which do you prefer irish, scottish english.

00:02:38.161 --> 00:02:44.372
You know I'm, my dad was scottish, my mom's mex, I've got.

00:02:44.372 --> 00:02:46.697
You know the accents are awesome.

00:02:46.697 --> 00:02:49.225
I think I do have an affinity for the Scots.

00:02:49.265 --> 00:02:51.835
I love the Scottish accent yeah.

00:02:52.417 --> 00:02:53.098
What's the difference?

00:02:53.098 --> 00:02:57.094
We've talked about the difference between dating English guys and American guys.

00:02:57.094 --> 00:02:58.842
What's the biggest difference you've noticed?

00:02:59.844 --> 00:03:00.325
Men and women.

00:03:01.068 --> 00:03:01.849
Women, I mean women.

00:03:01.849 --> 00:03:02.992
Sorry, sorry, yes.

00:03:03.875 --> 00:03:04.356
I'm focused.

00:03:04.497 --> 00:03:07.245
I was just going to say you're not dating men also, are you, henry?

00:03:07.245 --> 00:03:08.227
Okay?

00:03:08.508 --> 00:03:11.075
not that there's anything wrong with it, that's fine.

00:03:11.075 --> 00:03:16.086
Um there, it seems to me that the european women seem to be more open.

00:03:16.106 --> 00:03:19.133
Um, how so physically open?

00:03:19.473 --> 00:03:22.825
or you know.

00:03:22.825 --> 00:03:31.230
So I I've been in operations for, you know, for 30 years and so I have a tendency to kind of really deep dive into things and start unpacking stuff.

00:03:31.230 --> 00:03:49.100
And the women in Europe seem to have a different approach and there's a delineation between a relationship and sex and sex.

00:03:49.100 --> 00:03:51.171
So they understand they kind of drive it that you know I can have sex with you on first or second date.

00:03:51.171 --> 00:03:52.015
That doesn't mean we're in a relationship.

00:03:52.015 --> 00:03:55.186
That just means that I wanted to have sex and so you know there's a.

00:03:55.186 --> 00:03:58.823
There's a pretty strong line there between that and what an actual relationship is.

00:03:58.823 --> 00:04:01.688
But they're also pretty quick to communicate that.

00:04:01.688 --> 00:04:04.094
So there's not.

00:04:04.354 --> 00:04:05.799
There's not a lot of guesswork In my experience.

00:04:05.799 --> 00:04:06.419
There's not a lot of guesswork.

00:04:06.419 --> 00:04:08.812
In my experience there hasn't been a lot of guesswork.

00:04:08.812 --> 00:04:15.203
They want to meet soon, they want to have a conversation and they're really quick to let you know whether or not you know this is a love connection or not.

00:04:15.203 --> 00:04:18.752
Or you know I don't see a long-term fit, but hey, best of luck.

00:04:18.752 --> 00:04:19.983
And then they don't want to be.

00:04:19.983 --> 00:04:26.983
I'm friends with most of the people that I've dated, girlfriends included, um, and they're not they're.

00:04:26.983 --> 00:04:28.908
I got plenty of friends, I've got loads of friends.

00:04:28.908 --> 00:04:29.831
I don't need any more friends.

00:04:29.831 --> 00:04:32.266
But hey, best of luck, you know, hope things work out for you.

00:04:32.286 --> 00:04:33.428
Such an interesting thing to say.

00:04:33.428 --> 00:04:39.363
Best of luck mind the gap so are you.

00:04:39.363 --> 00:04:40.206
On the dating apps here.

00:04:41.067 --> 00:04:43.069
I'm on one, but it's on pause.

00:04:43.850 --> 00:04:44.810
Why was it that bad?

00:04:44.810 --> 00:04:46.033
It's just.

00:04:48.295 --> 00:04:54.471
I'm sure we're going to cover this at some point, but there's there's a diminishing return as you advance.

00:04:54.471 --> 00:05:15.990
You know in life where that becomes, um, it's not, as I don't want to say, lucrative, but when I hit 50, there was a precipitous drop in my options and one of the things that I determined, because, as I'm looking through you know, you get to choose your age range.

00:05:16.031 --> 00:05:16.711
Yeah, for sure.

00:05:17.180 --> 00:05:22.406
So people are, you know, a lot of people are like, well, you know, 50 is old and it's like, well, it could be.

00:05:22.406 --> 00:05:35.505
You know, I remember seeing my dad at 50 and you know, and now I'm, you know, I'm in that range and I it's not lost on me that I look younger have you ever thought about lying about your age on that app?

00:05:35.526 --> 00:05:37.992
so you fall in that lower category I did lie.

00:05:38.132 --> 00:05:42.971
One time I did and I ended up I dated a couple I I didn't lie.

00:05:42.971 --> 00:05:44.654
Bad right, Well.

00:05:45.175 --> 00:05:46.238
Shaved off just a couple years.

00:05:46.238 --> 00:05:46.819
A lie, a lie, a lie.

00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:53.872
I dropped myself into the like 48, 49 category to get under the cutoff.

00:05:54.819 --> 00:05:57.572
But how do you explain that to someone that you meet in person?

00:05:57.572 --> 00:06:00.322
And things are going well, well actually, in my case.

00:06:00.963 --> 00:06:12.548
So Hinge has been the most positive experience that I've had, and I don't work for Hinge, but they, you know, you get to write in your answers.

00:06:12.548 --> 00:06:15.334
So I made it a point to say I'm 51.

00:06:15.334 --> 00:06:22.841
You know, all my pictures are real, they're completely unfiltered, you know, please feel free to ask for more pictures.

00:06:22.841 --> 00:06:31.485
But and I think I even had like a little video or a voiceover just to say you know, hey, here's what I sound like, so that we can get past that point of you.

00:06:31.485 --> 00:06:36.081
Know, am I okay hearing sweet nothings from this voice, or does it sound like nails on a chalkboard?

00:06:36.081 --> 00:06:38.805
You know, oh, he's a five docket pack a day smoker.

00:06:38.805 --> 00:06:41.670
Um, and I'm big on voices as well.

00:06:41.670 --> 00:06:46.141
When I hear a voice like, there's voices that attract me and there's voices, you know, that make me go no.

00:06:46.221 --> 00:06:47.447
I could probably go stand over here.

00:06:48.901 --> 00:07:00.129
You make a good point, though, because when people, when women, join a dating site, they choose what age range they're looking for, and they only see men in that category, but you look a lot younger than your age.

00:07:00.129 --> 00:07:01.406
So it's kind of screwing you.

00:07:01.406 --> 00:07:06.624
So that's kind of screwing you, so that's kind of not fair.

00:07:06.644 --> 00:07:08.670
Right, you have so many missed opportunities of love for both you and for some women.

00:07:08.670 --> 00:07:09.050
How old do you?

00:07:09.552 --> 00:07:10.435
think that I look, I'm just curious.

00:07:10.454 --> 00:07:10.815
I hate this game.

00:07:10.815 --> 00:07:11.317
I hate this game.

00:07:11.317 --> 00:07:11.959
You can't offend me.

00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:13.286
You already know my age.

00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:17.071
I would say mid-40s, I would also yes, but you know what?

00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:26.757
Now it makes sense because my sister she stated a handful of guys that they said they were one age and then she would look at their ID when they're out of the bar or whatever.

00:07:26.757 --> 00:07:27.904
And they lied.

00:07:27.904 --> 00:07:31.264
They're actually older than when they say it, but it was only by a couple years.

00:07:31.545 --> 00:07:33.745
So that's why I think a lot of men do that.

00:07:33.805 --> 00:07:34.528
And it makes sense.

00:07:35.019 --> 00:07:36.444
Oh, they add an inch somewhere.

00:07:36.444 --> 00:07:38.050
You know what I mean I would never.

00:07:46.980 --> 00:07:48.004
Do you have to add an inch to your height too, henry?

00:07:48.004 --> 00:07:48.386
No, no, I'm straight.

00:07:48.386 --> 00:07:48.728
How tall are you?

00:07:48.728 --> 00:07:54.326
Five, seven, so because that's bad lying about your height, because then when you meet them in person if you like that's my point yes, and then you're five, seven, yes it's obvious.

00:07:54.406 --> 00:08:00.574
It is different to lie about your height, I think, than to lie about your age, because your height is something that is very obvious.

00:08:00.574 --> 00:08:03.865
It's very obvious that you've lied about it once you meet in person.

00:08:03.865 --> 00:08:11.612
Whereas if you look the age that you've said you are, it's harder to tell you know it's just knowing.

00:08:11.632 --> 00:08:17.360
That's the lie, it's the principle of the lie, you know what's cringe to me, though, is I know some women that lie about their age.

00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:18.901
They say they're younger than they really are.

00:08:18.901 --> 00:08:24.125
But I would prefer to say I'm older than I am, cause I want people to say wow, you look really young for your age, not the opposite.

00:08:24.125 --> 00:08:27.586
If you say you're younger, they're probably thinking, dang, she looks older at that age.

00:08:27.586 --> 00:08:29.728
Do you know what I'm saying?

00:08:29.728 --> 00:08:31.129
Like I don't know, I feel like we've moved on.

00:08:31.168 --> 00:08:35.371
I think the advent of filters has been awful because I can't.

00:08:35.371 --> 00:08:35.892
And now?

00:08:35.892 --> 00:08:57.351
So now I've gotten, I just you, just you know, guys are notorious for swiping right and statistically right 50, 50-ish percent swipe right, while we swipe right 50% of the time to clarify, but when I start seeing filters it's just like I don't know what I'm going to.

00:08:57.351 --> 00:08:58.453
I'm not sure who I'm getting.

00:09:00.461 --> 00:09:01.660
So I don't know why women do that.

00:09:01.660 --> 00:09:08.284
Because aren't you embarrassed to meet them in person and for them to see your true face after they've only seen filtered pictures, you know?

00:09:08.304 --> 00:09:09.264
when I started dating.

00:09:09.264 --> 00:09:21.191
I waited to date until my girls were in high school and I didn't start dating until they brought it up Right around their senior year.

00:09:21.191 --> 00:09:29.294
I remember we were in the kitchen and I was giving it to them pretty good when I walked in the house from work, because it was just a wreck and you could tell everywhere.

00:09:29.294 --> 00:09:31.216
You know, when you have kids you can tell where they've been.

00:09:31.216 --> 00:09:35.437
There's just like dishes and trash and stuff from everywhere.

00:09:35.437 --> 00:09:41.645
And I was mad because I just got home from work and I was having to clean up and they were both in the.

00:09:41.645 --> 00:09:51.187
I just remember they were both, both had a side-by-side refrigerator One was in the freezer and one was in the refrigerator and they both turned around and gave me this look like their mother and they were like you need to get a date.

00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:53.023
And I'm like.

00:09:53.604 --> 00:09:56.530
I know what you mean by that, and it's not nice.

00:09:56.571 --> 00:09:57.432
You need to get laid.

00:09:59.163 --> 00:10:01.547
That's what they really said, or you need to stop being a helicopter dad.

00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:03.020
You need to get out more.

00:10:03.041 --> 00:10:08.027
They were like you need to whatever this tension is that's going on we can't fix it.

00:10:08.027 --> 00:10:09.148
You're going to need to go somewhere.

00:10:09.168 --> 00:10:09.748
That's hilarious.

00:10:09.748 --> 00:10:11.629
How were you meeting the women overseas?

00:10:11.629 --> 00:10:14.393
Did you do like an international dating app?

00:10:14.393 --> 00:10:15.774
Hinge Okay.

00:10:16.034 --> 00:10:17.655
Yeah, once I learned you could drag and drop.

00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:19.221
So what does that mean?

00:10:19.221 --> 00:10:21.303
You can set location preferences on Hinge no princess on him.

00:10:21.323 --> 00:10:28.053
No, you can pinch out uh-huh scroll over to the uk, pinch in and go london.

00:10:28.053 --> 00:10:35.153
And then let me tell you, when I dropped myself in the middle of london, it was ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping.

00:10:35.153 --> 00:10:43.221
I had more women interested in me in the first three days than I had here in four months that's so interesting.

00:10:43.241 --> 00:10:44.866
Why that is so interesting it?

00:10:44.966 --> 00:10:45.168
was?

00:10:45.168 --> 00:10:47.020
It was off the chain.

00:10:47.020 --> 00:10:48.364
I couldn't even explain it.

00:10:48.485 --> 00:10:59.027
I was just like, oh all right, well, maybe I'm going to be moving to london I wonder how the scammers get onto the dating apps then that's that must be how they do it I, if they're on hinge.

00:10:59.048 --> 00:10:59.447
Yeah, that's.

00:10:59.447 --> 00:11:04.326
That's absolutely one of the ways because, like I said, and you know, hopefully hinge doesn't start charging for it.

00:11:04.326 --> 00:11:07.715
But it was just, it was a simple thing to just drag and drop.

00:11:07.715 --> 00:11:14.532
Yeah, interesting, so something like Edinburgh, glasgow, just anyway.

00:11:14.672 --> 00:11:16.381
What about Brazil, south American?

00:11:16.461 --> 00:11:18.970
women isn't that beautiful, you know not, not your cup of tea.

00:11:18.970 --> 00:11:20.706
Well, don't get me wrong.

00:11:20.706 --> 00:11:26.552
I think Latin women are among the most beautiful women in the world, like percentage-wise.

00:11:26.552 --> 00:11:29.950
But you know, latin is a pretty broad-based term, right?

00:11:29.950 --> 00:11:35.951
But yeah, no, that's, they're beautiful, but Portuguese is so difficult to learn.

00:11:35.971 --> 00:11:36.933
That's true, yeah.

00:11:37.441 --> 00:11:45.772
It's like I speak Spanish, you know, and I dabble in a couple of other languages, but Portuguese just eludes me because it doesn't make any sense.

00:11:45.772 --> 00:11:46.201
I don't even.

00:11:46.201 --> 00:11:47.427
Is it a romance language?

00:11:47.427 --> 00:11:49.426
Does it even fall in the category I?

00:11:49.586 --> 00:11:50.208
have no idea.

00:11:50.880 --> 00:11:57.206
Because if you can speak Spanish, then you can muddle through French, you can muddle through Italian.

00:11:57.379 --> 00:12:03.326
I'm learning Italian right now and it's much easier to learn because I speak Spanish also.

00:12:03.466 --> 00:12:04.288
Are you Mexican?

00:12:04.488 --> 00:12:11.363
No, so a lot of the words are are similar.

00:12:11.524 --> 00:12:12.105
It's a lot.

00:12:12.105 --> 00:12:13.591
It's an easy language to learn.

00:12:13.591 --> 00:12:15.437
I'm learning Italian too.

00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.727
So, speaking of food, so you are retired, but you have a hot dog cart, right?

00:12:24.727 --> 00:12:25.851
I am in spirit of honesty, I'm not retired, I got.

00:12:25.851 --> 00:12:30.028
I got laid off from my third bank in 30 years and I just realized this is what they do.

00:12:30.028 --> 00:12:31.826
It's a cyclical process, right?

00:12:31.826 --> 00:12:38.427
So right at the 10-year mark at every one of these banks, they're like oh, you're not at the executive level and we need to make some room, so got to go.

00:12:38.427 --> 00:12:45.519
So I knew that there was four layoffs before they got to me and they got me, me and I hit, I got.

00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:46.784
They got me on the fifth layoff.

00:12:46.784 --> 00:12:50.788
So I knew it was coming, but I also knew that I wanted to start this.

00:12:50.788 --> 00:12:53.946
I've been wanting to do this hot dog stand for 25 years.

00:12:54.366 --> 00:12:55.028
Henry's hot dogs.

00:12:55.068 --> 00:12:55.369
Henry's.

00:12:55.369 --> 00:12:55.809
I love that.

00:12:55.809 --> 00:12:56.491
Is it a truck?

00:12:56.491 --> 00:12:57.514
It's a food truck.

00:12:57.759 --> 00:12:58.845
It's a trailer.

00:12:58.845 --> 00:13:21.004
Well, yeah, it's a small trailer and I've been eating at the same hot dog stand up north just outside of Chicago for since I was about eight years old and I got laid off from one of the first bank when I was back in Texas and I had reached out to the guy and asked him if he was interested in franchising and he said no, why?

00:13:21.004 --> 00:13:22.687
And I was like darn, I love your hot dogs, I've been eating there forever.

00:13:22.687 --> 00:13:23.450
I was just like where do you live?

00:13:23.450 --> 00:13:25.293
And I was like darn, I love your hot dogs, I've been eating there forever.

00:13:25.293 --> 00:13:26.416
I was just wondering.

00:13:26.436 --> 00:13:27.258
He's like where do you live?

00:13:27.258 --> 00:13:29.145
And I'm like, well, I'm from Texas.

00:13:29.145 --> 00:13:33.549
He was like, oh, he's like, hey, come down and work for a couple of days and I'll just give you all the stuff.

00:13:33.549 --> 00:13:34.864
So I flew in.

00:13:34.864 --> 00:13:46.403
Within six weeks of that, I flew in and I worked morning one.

00:13:46.403 --> 00:13:47.586
One time he was like all right, get your notebook out.

00:13:47.586 --> 00:13:48.368
And he gave me all of the recipes.

00:13:48.368 --> 00:13:49.230
Wow, he gave me the homemade chili.

00:13:49.230 --> 00:13:49.793
Chili dogs are my specialty.

00:13:49.793 --> 00:13:50.836
Um, root beer from scratch.

00:13:50.836 --> 00:13:56.288
He just gave me everything for nothing and he was just like you're, you're no competition to me.

00:13:56.288 --> 00:13:57.832
He's like it's true good for him.

00:13:57.980 --> 00:14:05.385
That's so nice the way that you used to do things when you were just like no, you just help people out, it's like you're not gonna bother me that's amazing.

00:14:05.667 --> 00:14:06.589
So what it's?

00:14:06.589 --> 00:14:07.029
What kind of?

00:14:07.029 --> 00:14:08.231
What makes your hot dogs different?

00:14:08.231 --> 00:14:10.163
Like, why did you love this specific hot dog cart?

00:14:10.322 --> 00:14:11.044
the well.

00:14:11.044 --> 00:14:12.727
It's the hot dog itself.

00:14:12.727 --> 00:14:16.383
So I use a brand shout out ekrich hot dogs.

00:14:16.383 --> 00:14:20.131
They're a meat company up north, um, so the ekrich hot dogs make the chili.

00:14:20.131 --> 00:14:25.192
I make it fresh myself every day, wow, um yeah, it just tastes better.

00:14:25.192 --> 00:14:31.772
It's got like six ingredients in it and, it's amazing, it's my number one seller, second only to, probably, the Chicago-style dog.

00:14:32.313 --> 00:14:33.798
That's my favorite, I don't like ketchup.

00:14:33.817 --> 00:14:34.320
The Chicago dog.

00:14:34.419 --> 00:14:36.347
So no ketchup on my hot dog.

00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:37.947
I'm doing a Sonoran now too.

00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:38.640
Oh, you are Well.

00:14:38.660 --> 00:14:39.501
I call it I was going to.

00:14:39.501 --> 00:14:41.323
It was like it's like Sonoran adjacent.

00:14:41.323 --> 00:14:42.686
I call it the almost Sonoran.

00:14:42.725 --> 00:14:43.547
What is Sonoran?

00:14:43.547 --> 00:14:44.327
I've heard of those.

00:14:44.408 --> 00:14:52.019
It's a bacon-wrapped hot dog served on a bolillo bun with pinto beans and crema and guacamole Toppings.

00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:52.980
Yeah, lots of toppings.

00:14:52.980 --> 00:15:08.799
So I call it the almost Sonoran, because I don't bacon wrap it, but I cook bacon and chop it and then I keep it, so it's topped with bacon and then I don't do the pinto beans or the big bolillo bun, but everything else is on it and I've got a family salsa that I make and a family guacamole that I make.

00:15:08.980 --> 00:15:10.184
Where is this hot dog truck?

00:15:10.184 --> 00:15:10.788
I want to try it.

00:15:11.501 --> 00:15:15.412
Well, you guys need to come out to Rift Wine Bar and Tap House.

00:15:15.412 --> 00:15:17.365
I'm there two days a week.

00:15:17.365 --> 00:15:23.529
So I'm there on Sundays from 12 to 4 and Tuesdays from 5.30 to 8.30.

00:15:23.529 --> 00:15:28.057
But I've, you know, I've worked at Goldwater Brewing, tt Roadhouse 12.

00:15:28.077 --> 00:15:31.288
West, so you go outside of bars, rest bars, that kind of thing.

00:15:31.409 --> 00:15:32.140
Yes, I don't.

00:15:32.140 --> 00:15:38.801
I'm not the guy that shows up and just posts up on a corner Like I, I, I, you like contract with places I get relationships with them.

00:15:38.801 --> 00:15:47.951
They don't pay me any money, like I just it's hey, you show up, we can't guarantee what you're going to get, but here's some good nights that we have people and it's been lucrative.

00:15:47.951 --> 00:15:49.312
I know that everybody's like.

00:15:49.312 --> 00:15:52.956
One of my friends is like I just know you're going to meet a girl you know selling hot dogs.

00:15:56.654 --> 00:15:59.500
I was like you want to try my extra special hot dog.

00:15:59.500 --> 00:16:00.600
I've got all of the jokes.

00:16:00.640 --> 00:16:06.690
Henry's like I've got a special off menu If you're into that.

00:16:06.730 --> 00:16:07.530
Tons of jokes.

00:16:07.530 --> 00:16:08.591
Yeah, it's just like it's.

00:16:08.591 --> 00:16:10.335
It's six inches but it's filling.

00:16:10.355 --> 00:16:10.816
You know what I mean.

00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:18.027
It's just like I've been in old town, Scott, still Like you have to you gotta, you gotta, you know, and people love their food trucks.

00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:32.013
Speaking of remember, when we went to coach house to record our street stuff, I was so mad because they always used to have like a like a resident food truck and we got there and I hadn't eaten because I was so excited.

00:16:32.013 --> 00:16:33.764
I was like I'm going to get food truck food.

00:16:33.764 --> 00:16:36.091
And we got there and there was no food truck there.

00:16:36.091 --> 00:16:37.961
It's like what happened to the food truck.

00:16:38.841 --> 00:16:39.121
People.

00:16:39.121 --> 00:16:43.784
You know it's a big thing, and so the downside is is I'm standing in front of a cart.

00:16:43.784 --> 00:16:45.846
My goal is not to stand in front of a cart.

00:16:45.846 --> 00:16:52.071
My goal is to develop two, three, four, five, six of these and then do what I do, which is manage the operations.

00:16:52.071 --> 00:16:53.812
So I'm not trying to.

00:16:53.812 --> 00:17:00.706
I was unloading my cart one night and I've got a ring camera and my little four foot 10 Mexican mom.

00:17:00.706 --> 00:17:02.081
She's like click, mijo.

00:17:02.081 --> 00:17:04.824
And I was like yeah, mom, she's talking to the ring camera.

00:17:04.824 --> 00:17:07.964
She's like you need to stay out of the sun, mijo, you're getting too dark.

00:17:08.236 --> 00:17:09.642
And I'm like mom.

00:17:11.895 --> 00:17:14.163
Like I've been outside slinging hot dogs all day.

00:17:14.163 --> 00:17:15.519
Mom, what do you want from me?

00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:25.832
This time of year I'm pushing the hours to the evenings to try to save my skin, Because, you know, I don't know how long this young appearance is going to last, but I don't want to take any chances.

00:17:26.655 --> 00:17:28.383
So are you looking to get married again?

00:17:28.383 --> 00:17:29.759
Are you looking for something serious?

00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:30.363
You know what's funny.

00:17:30.695 --> 00:17:31.482
When I got divorced.

00:17:31.482 --> 00:17:32.795
I got divorced back in 2009.

00:17:32.795 --> 00:17:35.079
And it was the.

00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:37.006
I don't know what it's going to take.

00:17:37.006 --> 00:17:40.077
I don't know what it would take for a woman to get me to get married again.

00:17:40.097 --> 00:17:42.039
Really, I don't know what it would take for a woman to get me to get married again Really Right.

00:17:42.059 --> 00:17:43.862
But that's a lot of time that's passed.

00:17:43.862 --> 00:17:51.670
I've met some you know, some lovely people along the way and now I'm kind of back on the no, I think, the right person.

00:17:51.670 --> 00:17:53.131
I would absolutely want to get married.

00:17:53.131 --> 00:18:13.634
Either get married or at the very least, do like a cool ceremony with all our friends and family, where you're just committing to each other Right the downside, with all our friends and family, where you're just committing to each other right the the downside, I think, is that, um, how do you manage through like the medical community, because you're not, you're not married, legally married, right, yeah, because there's rights that people have and then you don't.

00:18:13.895 --> 00:18:23.210
So unless you qualify them somehow, then you know your family, you know who you may or may not like is common, is common law marriage?

00:18:23.289 --> 00:18:32.598
do you get the same rights as legal married if in terms of like power of attorney and medical power of attorney and things like that?

00:18:32.638 --> 00:18:35.616
I think you can do power of attorney, medical power of attorney with anyone.

00:18:35.616 --> 00:18:36.618
I'm not the attorney.

00:18:36.618 --> 00:18:39.144
But for common law marriage I think it's possible, but you have to go down weird thing.

00:18:39.144 --> 00:18:40.787
You have to go down to the courthouse and then go, we're common law marriage.

00:18:40.787 --> 00:18:44.253
I think it's possible, but you have to go down weird thing.

00:18:44.253 --> 00:18:51.612
You have to go down to the courthouse and then go, we're common law married and it's like, well, if you're going to do that, then you might as well just do a marriage license or whatever.

00:18:51.632 --> 00:18:53.375
Yeah, do you have any crazy date stories.

00:18:54.637 --> 00:19:08.221
Oh gosh, you know, back when I was originally, when I was first trying this out plenty of fish Um, I bet 80, 80 of the women that I met on plenty of fish weren't honest about their appearance.

00:19:08.221 --> 00:19:12.057
I mean, eight out of eight out of ten, nine out of ten dates I would show up.

00:19:12.057 --> 00:19:15.484
And I'm not looking for a supermodel, I just I'm.

00:19:15.484 --> 00:19:18.160
I want someone who just pays attention like I do.

00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:20.387
Right, you're reasonably fit, that's it.

00:19:20.387 --> 00:19:25.325
And however you get there, I don't, I don't, I don't care how you, if you want to walk, if you want to run, if you want to go to the gym, whatever.

00:19:25.994 --> 00:19:34.829
But I was meeting up with people and they would be 30, 40, 50 pounds over their pictures.

00:19:34.829 --> 00:19:46.645
And then you show up and I'm like, hey, not for nothing, if, if you and I got together and then you put on 50 pounds, I'm already in love with you and I'm in love with your identity, which is here, right.

00:19:46.645 --> 00:20:06.388
So that's a very different thing than we're meeting for the first time to develop some chemistry and some, you know, attraction, and then all the pictures that you showed me show you know you're, you know catching fish or you know running through the mountains, and then you show up and you're five feet tall and you know you're just out here getting fat fish.

00:20:07.858 --> 00:20:12.663
Henry, I almost wore a hat and I didn't want anybody to think I was hat fishing anybody, so I was like, no, I'll just leave the hat at home.

00:20:13.165 --> 00:20:13.769
Are you ready for it?

00:20:13.769 --> 00:20:14.674
I'm ready for it.

00:20:14.674 --> 00:20:21.404
No, the keep more minute brought to you by tactical tax strategies help you keep more in your wallet.

00:20:21.404 --> 00:20:23.587
We help you keep more in your relationship.

00:20:23.587 --> 00:20:25.611
So we have a listener question.

00:20:25.611 --> 00:20:28.555
Yeah, nothing to worry about.

00:20:28.575 --> 00:20:30.098
I thought it was gonna be something along the whole.

00:20:30.118 --> 00:20:42.287
Just some advice, no all right, so this question okay, so this is a social media question says he sends fire nudes but forgets my birthday.

00:20:42.287 --> 00:20:48.806
We've been hooking up for months and while the pics are always on point, he ghosted me on my birthday.

00:20:48.806 --> 00:20:53.304
Can you be someone's favorite fantasy without being their priority?

00:20:54.186 --> 00:20:57.582
makes me think he's only with her for one reason, right like he doesn't pay attention.

00:20:57.582 --> 00:20:58.726
He's not listening well.

00:20:59.249 --> 00:21:05.503
Also, it says we've been hooking up for months, not we've been dating for months so maybe they're on different pages.

00:21:05.503 --> 00:21:14.843
It sounds like he doesn't even know when her birthday is like maybe they haven't even had that conversation do you someone that you're just having a friends with benefits situation with?

00:21:14.843 --> 00:21:15.424
Do you even?

00:21:15.746 --> 00:21:16.388
it's true, do you?

00:21:16.449 --> 00:21:20.560
even go that deep, like do you even talk about your birthdays?

00:21:21.021 --> 00:21:26.630
yeah, I think they need to have a conversation and chat about what are we, what are our expectations.

00:21:26.711 --> 00:21:29.779
I think there's some conflicting information there that I do too.

00:21:29.980 --> 00:21:34.061
I think her expectations are unrealistic now if there's two years of this right.

00:21:34.082 --> 00:21:36.251
Where you've got, you've cycled through a birthday or two.

00:21:36.593 --> 00:21:56.546
That's a whole other thing it is and like for me, I I always remember birthdays, so it's like birthdays stick with me.

00:21:56.566 --> 00:21:59.347
So someone tells me their birthday, I typically remember it.

00:21:59.347 --> 00:22:01.229
But but really care isn't really interested.

00:22:01.348 --> 00:22:06.451
I think if they were if it sounds like to your point it's.

00:22:06.451 --> 00:22:18.923
It's a bit of a situation, shit, but I think that if you know, if you really wanted to make him remember it, you would have been like so on my birthday I'm going to give you a gift, you know, click, click, click and then, and then he's like tally ho, let's go.

00:22:18.943 --> 00:22:22.354
You do like the whipped cream bikini thing, like in the birthday.

00:22:22.354 --> 00:22:24.480
She could have been like it's my birthday, do you have a big?

00:22:24.540 --> 00:22:26.729
package for me.

00:22:26.729 --> 00:22:34.163
You can unwrap my present, so we're going to discuss these videos on tiktok.

00:22:34.163 --> 00:22:35.987
It was hilarious reasons to date.

00:22:35.987 --> 00:22:38.376
A short king, so many videos.

00:22:38.376 --> 00:22:41.845
So all women that we interview were like what are your criteria?

00:22:41.845 --> 00:22:44.765
They all say, oh, I want a tall guy, I want a guy that's over six foot.

00:22:44.967 --> 00:22:45.228
Right.

00:22:45.375 --> 00:22:49.567
But here are some lists I found that state why you should date a short king.

00:22:49.567 --> 00:22:59.722
So studies show that shining qualities like height, looks, profession none of these actually matter when it comes to fulfillment and happiness in a long-term relationship.

00:22:59.722 --> 00:23:04.467
You're overlooking the great qualities because of these superficial qualities that don't matter.

00:23:04.467 --> 00:23:09.204
So short Kings are 32% less likely to get divorced.

00:23:09.204 --> 00:23:09.967
Crazy.

00:23:09.967 --> 00:23:16.045
They do more around the house, they earn more money and they have a higher frequency of bedroom boinking.

00:23:16.045 --> 00:23:16.646
Is that true?

00:23:16.646 --> 00:23:19.442
Is your stamina a little higher than average?

00:23:20.516 --> 00:23:21.721
I've got a whole story around that.

00:23:21.721 --> 00:23:23.577
But yes, I'm, I've got.

00:23:23.577 --> 00:23:28.288
I'm not on any replacement therapy, no TRT or anything.

00:23:28.288 --> 00:23:29.634
I've got zero problems.

00:23:29.634 --> 00:23:31.000
It's usually the complaint.

00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:32.862
The ex-wife complained.

00:23:32.862 --> 00:23:35.923
She was like gosh, I thought when you got into your 40s this would fall off.

00:23:36.183 --> 00:23:37.007
She's like this is worse.

00:23:37.575 --> 00:23:37.914
I'm like.

00:23:37.914 --> 00:23:38.695
So I told her.

00:23:38.695 --> 00:23:40.557
I was like you should talk to your friends and see.

00:23:40.557 --> 00:23:43.701
And all of her friends were like your husband still wants to have sex with you.

00:23:43.701 --> 00:23:47.124
Like that's amazing, we would kill.

00:23:47.124 --> 00:23:48.625
And she was upset.

00:23:48.625 --> 00:23:51.167
I left her alone one time just to prove a point.

00:23:51.167 --> 00:23:54.590
I just didn't bother her at all about having sex.

00:23:54.590 --> 00:24:01.088
And one morning it was like a Sunday morning she was like you want to do it?

00:24:01.088 --> 00:24:01.749
She's like it's been a while.

00:24:01.749 --> 00:24:03.410
I was like it's been six weeks and she was like no, it hasn't.

00:24:03.410 --> 00:24:06.172
I went in and secretly marked the calendar on the refrigerator.

00:24:06.172 --> 00:24:08.573
I went and grabbed the, grabbed the calendar off the fridge.

00:24:08.573 --> 00:24:09.593
I was like six weeks.

00:24:09.593 --> 00:24:11.480
I'm like this is what I'm talking about.

00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:24.085
If, if I do everything that I'm supposed to do and I leave you to your own devices, it's going to be six weeks, and six weeks doesn't work for me meanwhile, t levels are like off the charts funny yeah, they are

00:24:24.164 --> 00:24:27.989
also what constitutes short king.

00:24:27.989 --> 00:24:31.656
So is it like yeah, is it like five, eight and below.

00:24:31.876 --> 00:24:49.180
I have no clue is it because I'm pretty sure the average, the average height of the american man, like five seven five, nine or something that I think it's like five, seven, I think women is five too, yeah, so it's not really short, cause there are a lot of women that are five feet.

00:24:49.180 --> 00:24:49.580
Five feet.

00:24:49.580 --> 00:24:51.046
One five feet too, right, right.

00:24:51.046 --> 00:25:09.666
So I don't know, but there was this trend going around with short Kings, where short guys would do these videos to this song, a specific song, um, and some of the things are just hilarious, usually ripped, often rich to compensate for their height, easy to throw out what they're making fun of themselves.

00:25:09.666 --> 00:25:11.396
Some of them, they're more fun.

00:25:11.396 --> 00:25:13.201
We can fit into kids shoes.

00:25:13.201 --> 00:25:14.202
So think about the money.

00:25:14.202 --> 00:25:16.407
Say it's true, actually.

00:25:16.407 --> 00:25:17.938
Uh, you know, they say about down low, it's true.

00:25:17.959 --> 00:25:19.522
One guy was like we can crawl under the sink and fix your plumbing.

00:25:19.522 --> 00:25:19.983
Can tall guys do that?

00:25:19.983 --> 00:25:22.391
No step stools exist, so we can crawl under the sink and fix your plumbing.

00:25:22.391 --> 00:25:23.616
Can tall guys do that?

00:25:23.616 --> 00:25:28.477
No step stools exist, so I can get to the top shelf in the cupboard, but they can't go down under.

00:25:28.477 --> 00:25:30.423
That's forced.

00:25:30.423 --> 00:25:32.208
We're more fun to cuddle.

00:25:32.208 --> 00:25:33.211
You can wrap me up.

00:25:33.211 --> 00:25:34.355
We will never cheat.

00:25:34.355 --> 00:25:35.798
We respect what we've got.

00:25:36.178 --> 00:25:42.430
We will never look down on you I love they're saying a short man will never cheat, come on um.

00:25:43.913 --> 00:25:50.157
And then a bunch of girls posted a video and they were like tall guys know that they're hot, so they don't try, they don't have a personality.

00:25:50.157 --> 00:25:54.936
Short kings are funny, courageous, they have hot bodies and they have a way better character.

00:25:54.936 --> 00:26:01.622
And then a woman posted a tiktok and was like these are the reasons you should date a short king you won't have to crane your neck, you can share clothes.

00:26:01.622 --> 00:26:04.268
They're less whiny about leg room on long flights.

00:26:04.268 --> 00:26:06.723
Being short is good for the environment.

00:26:06.723 --> 00:26:10.422
Wow, I have no idea.

00:26:10.422 --> 00:26:16.300
Strangers in public may think he's proposing, even when he's not, which leads to free champagne.

00:26:16.300 --> 00:26:20.782
Tall guys are always talking down to you.

00:26:20.782 --> 00:26:25.422
And short kings are good for rock climbing, because it's better to be the same height when you go rock climbing.

00:26:25.422 --> 00:26:30.123
I thought it was kind of funny, interesting wow interesting, interesting list.

00:26:30.384 --> 00:26:32.048
Where is your favorite place to go on a first date?

00:26:32.875 --> 00:26:37.023
gosh, you know it's dependent on the woman.

00:26:37.023 --> 00:26:43.203
To be honest with you, I'd like to get through the texting piece as quickly as possible, at At least get on the phone call, cause I do believe.

00:26:43.203 --> 00:26:45.799
I mean, you know I've heard some people's voices.

00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:46.603
I'm sure they've heard mine.

00:26:46.623 --> 00:26:49.682
They were like do you do FaceTime before you meet in person?

00:26:49.844 --> 00:26:53.003
When you meet someone, I personally don't mind doing FaceTime.

00:26:53.255 --> 00:27:11.516
I don't see why more people do that so you know, I don't know if we're ready for a phone call yet Like I'd like to talk a little bit more and I'm like this is an awful, like I've got a theory on this.

00:27:11.516 --> 00:27:12.436
I call it.

00:27:12.436 --> 00:27:13.498
You know, do you want to read the book?

00:27:13.498 --> 00:27:14.278
Do you want to go to the movie?

00:27:15.280 --> 00:27:32.001
When you read that book prior to seeing it if it were ever adapted to a movie you're developing these characters based on your experiences in your mind, and then you go to the movie and then what do most people say?

00:27:32.001 --> 00:27:33.065
Oh, the book was way better.

00:27:33.065 --> 00:27:37.884
Well, that's because you built out the relationship in the book, right?

00:27:37.884 --> 00:27:44.607
When you go to the movies, you're going to the movies and you're seeing someone else's interpretation of that book, right?

00:27:44.607 --> 00:27:48.019
So if you spent, when you get together somebody, you're like, you're nothing like.

00:27:48.019 --> 00:27:49.568
You're nothing like what I thought.

00:27:49.568 --> 00:27:59.438
You're a hundred percent right, I'm nothing like what you thought, because you've been, you've been writing this play of who we are and what we're going to be about.

00:27:59.438 --> 00:28:04.240
And then you show up and then you find out that things are different than the character that you drew out.

00:28:06.298 --> 00:28:07.300
So go to see the movie.

00:28:07.682 --> 00:28:15.759
Yeah, go to see the movie, like let's get to the movie sooner rather than later and then we can go back and read the book later and then build out, you know, you know, a deeper relationship and a connection.

00:28:16.162 --> 00:28:17.085
Yeah, I love that.

00:28:17.085 --> 00:28:21.467
So now it's time for the celebrity cut, where we marinate in the juices of the celebrities.

00:28:21.467 --> 00:28:26.349
So you know that megan markle came out with a jam, right as ever.

00:28:26.349 --> 00:28:27.769
Do you follow megan markle?

00:28:27.769 --> 00:28:32.292
Or so she came out with a jam and it got pretty bad reviews.

00:28:32.292 --> 00:28:34.076
And there was an article from donna collins.

00:28:34.076 --> 00:28:35.500
Have you heard this, donna collins?

00:28:35.500 --> 00:28:36.482
She's the jelly queen.

00:28:36.482 --> 00:28:39.017
She was on masterchef, one of the winners in masterchef.

00:28:39.017 --> 00:28:43.084
Um, she has this website called the Jelly Queen, so she's jam is literally her jam.

00:28:43.084 --> 00:28:48.781
Anyways, apparently she came up with a video that stated Meghan Markle's jam, it's not a jam, it's a spread.

00:28:48.781 --> 00:28:50.686
And I did a video on the TikTok video.

00:28:50.686 --> 00:28:51.027
On this.

00:28:51.734 --> 00:28:57.903
Donald Collins reached out to me and said oh my Jesus, lady from Texas, so sweet and cute and she's like.

00:28:57.903 --> 00:29:01.669
I feel so bad because I can't't do the Texas accent.

00:29:01.669 --> 00:29:03.530
But I got a call from a reporter.

00:29:03.530 --> 00:29:06.384
They were asking me technical questions about the jam.

00:29:06.384 --> 00:29:08.241
So I was answering these technical questions.

00:29:08.241 --> 00:29:10.363
I've never even tried Meghan Markle's jam.

00:29:10.363 --> 00:29:16.963
They just use my words to skew the article to make it seem like I was talking about Meghan Markle's jam.

00:29:16.963 --> 00:29:26.747
Anyhow, she's doing a championship at the World Food Championship, where she's doing a championship at the world food championship, where she's doing a blind taste test and she wants megan marco's jam in the blind taste test.

00:29:26.747 --> 00:29:29.194
She came to me and asked moi to be a judge.

00:29:29.717 --> 00:29:34.006
Oh my god that's awesome hilarious I'm gonna be a judge in a championship.

00:29:34.006 --> 00:29:41.972
That was not on my 2025 bingo card and I have to take a certified course so I can be a certified jam judge.

00:29:42.012 --> 00:29:43.959
Oh my God, that's so funny.

00:29:43.959 --> 00:29:45.124
It's in Texas.

00:29:45.355 --> 00:29:47.022
It's actually in Indianapolis, I think.

00:29:47.022 --> 00:29:48.209
Oh, okay.

00:29:48.230 --> 00:29:49.516
But isn't that hilarious, yeah, so.

00:29:49.756 --> 00:29:54.643
I'm trying to get my hands on some of Meghan Markle's, because she can't get the jam because it's all sold out.

00:29:54.643 --> 00:30:04.039
So if anyone out there has an extra jar of Meghan Markle's jam, please send it our way, dm me.

00:30:04.059 --> 00:30:04.481
Isn't that hilarious?

00:30:04.481 --> 00:30:05.809
Yeah, what a cool thing though, because I mean, who doesn't?

00:30:05.829 --> 00:30:05.990
love jam.

00:30:06.010 --> 00:30:06.674
Well, I love jam.

00:30:06.674 --> 00:30:07.680
Is it at like?

00:30:07.700 --> 00:30:07.759
the.

00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:10.333
Indiana State Fair or something it is.

00:30:10.333 --> 00:30:12.702
Oh, you're going to have so much fun.

00:30:12.815 --> 00:30:15.223
A few championships, and then they have the championship there.

00:30:16.498 --> 00:30:18.203
State fairs in the Midwest are the best.

00:30:18.243 --> 00:30:19.828
Are they really.

00:30:23.394 --> 00:30:23.875
Yes, west are the best.

00:30:23.875 --> 00:30:24.217
Are they really?

00:30:24.217 --> 00:30:24.317
Yes?

00:30:24.337 --> 00:30:31.940
recently, a video went viral of the husband calling contest at the iowa state fair, and as someone who grew up in iowa, I will tell you like the women were spot on.

00:30:31.980 --> 00:30:33.746
Yeah so a husband, call husband.

00:30:33.746 --> 00:30:36.335
Like when you have to call your husband in from doing chores.

00:30:36.474 --> 00:30:43.087
Like when supper's ready right when supper's ready and you're calling him out on the farm you're calling.

00:30:43.228 --> 00:30:46.000
You know that is funny.

00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:50.232
They're like yelling into the microphone I wonder how many husbands.

00:30:50.252 --> 00:30:51.516
Yeah, I'll hold, I'll be right there.

00:30:51.516 --> 00:30:54.420
State fair texas.

00:30:54.420 --> 00:30:57.384
Shout out to texas state fair texas.

00:30:57.625 --> 00:31:03.303
It's the largest state fair in the us everything is is bigger in Texas, right, don't they say that?

00:31:03.303 --> 00:31:07.201
Yeah, a little bit yeah, and aren't the properties there so much cheaper?

00:31:07.201 --> 00:31:10.167
In Texas yes, and bigger.

00:31:10.575 --> 00:31:16.163
I'm like thinking of where my sister and brother-in-law live, and it's the same as everywhere.

00:31:16.222 --> 00:31:17.086
Yeah, but they're fancy.

00:31:17.797 --> 00:31:18.420
They are fancy.

00:31:18.420 --> 00:31:20.041
Yeah, they're in a fancy, fancy party town.

00:31:20.041 --> 00:31:21.146
It depends on where you are.

00:31:21.208 --> 00:31:22.615
Yeah, it is less expensive there.

00:31:22.615 --> 00:31:27.205
The difference is is all the land in Texas is basically private.

00:31:27.205 --> 00:31:28.268
There's no BLM.

00:31:28.268 --> 00:31:33.386
So I you know coming here and then going, wait, I can just walk out to the who owns this.

00:31:33.386 --> 00:31:35.323
They're like the BLM does, you can just go anywhere.

00:31:35.323 --> 00:31:37.861
So that's the difference.

00:31:37.861 --> 00:31:45.240
But the difference, but you know, there's no state tax in texas.

00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:48.276
Um, most of your taxes are going to go to the school system and I've got zero problems with the with, you know, educational system being beefed up.

00:31:48.276 --> 00:31:49.358
So it's like sure, why not?

00:31:49.358 --> 00:31:50.383
I don't have a problem with it.

00:31:50.423 --> 00:31:55.318
But um, so we get a lot of people complaining about dating in scottsdale.

00:31:55.318 --> 00:31:56.241
Do you see?

00:31:56.241 --> 00:31:57.605
Do you date many scottsdale girls?

00:31:57.605 --> 00:31:58.476
Do you date in scottsdale?00:31:58.476 --> 00:31:58.876


What's your?00:31:58.896 --> 00:32:04.086


opinion, I don't hit any of the requirements that, uh, that they have the six, what do you say?00:32:04.126 --> 00:32:19.641


the three sixes, the six foot six inches, six figures well, I meet two of those three ain't bad, you know, that's six foot, that's their number one, like that's their start off point, and it's like, well, I can't.00:32:19.641 --> 00:32:21.265


Six feet we talked about this.00:32:21.265 --> 00:32:22.165


What?00:32:22.165 --> 00:32:25.393


12 to 14% of the population of the US is six feet tall.00:32:25.393 --> 00:32:26.355


Hey, congratulations.00:32:26.355 --> 00:32:33.229


But you're just going to be unhappy because you've got all of these women going for 10% of the men.00:32:33.229 --> 00:32:39.144


It's like you're not all going to get them, or you're going to get them, and then you're going to be mad because, well, I can't believe you cheated.00:32:47.634 --> 00:32:48.510


He's like well, well, all these girls want six footers.00:32:48.407 --> 00:32:50.134


Like he's just sitting back like next, and you know, serving number 29.00:32:50.134 --> 00:32:51.067


You know, obviously short kings are better for the environment.00:32:51.067 --> 00:32:52.597


So like exactly, and we're all about the environment nowadays, right?00:32:53.338 --> 00:32:54.821


maybe it's methane or something.00:32:54.821 --> 00:32:55.021


Who?00:32:55.041 --> 00:32:56.945


knows, I don't know what it is.00:32:56.945 --> 00:33:01.400


They need like longer clothes, so they need more fabric, so it creates.00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:02.583


Tall guys are gassier.00:33:03.384 --> 00:33:04.508


Maybe I don't know.00:33:05.195 --> 00:33:06.641


So why didn't it work out with your ex?00:33:06.641 --> 00:33:07.805


If you don't mind me asking.00:33:09.455 --> 00:33:14.114


I've been, so I've done a lot of work and continue to do work, because I just continue to.00:33:14.114 --> 00:33:25.182


You know, I was just in a long-term relationship that ended last year and found out some new things that I didn't expect yeah, for me personally.00:33:25.182 --> 00:33:36.410


So what the therapist that we had that brought up was she was like your dysfunction is what brought you guys together, but, untreated, it's what drove you apart.00:33:36.410 --> 00:33:47.640


So had you been able to manage through some of your challenges, you know, had done a deep dive into what your individual challenges are, yeah, the relationship probably would have worked out.00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:49.086


I mean, we were together for 21 years.00:33:49.086 --> 00:33:55.701


Did you guys try therapy together or no?00:33:55.701 --> 00:33:56.123


Did you not start?00:33:56.123 --> 00:33:57.184


I was no, no, no, I we I did therapy together.00:33:57.205 --> 00:34:05.789


Yeah, yeah, she, she had some negative experiences from being, um, you know, when she was younger, from therapy, so she wasn't as tuned into it.00:34:05.789 --> 00:34:10.442


Um, me, I've never had it and I, you know, I'm constantly searching for, well, what can I do better?00:34:10.442 --> 00:34:14.251


Um, so, but she, you know, she attended, she, you know, she made an effort.00:34:14.251 --> 00:34:21.003


Um, I just kept going because, you know, I realized I've got some stuff to unpack, um, and then have unpacked quite a bit of it.00:34:21.003 --> 00:34:33.900


So, you know, when you see a lot of that on on the dating apps, they'll be like you know, I've done the work and I'm looking for the same and it's like, well, if you said you've done the work, you might not be a good fit for me because it's not over.00:34:33.900 --> 00:34:49.927


Yeah, every new interaction brings some new opportunity to find some new button that maybe you know is an old button but it's new now because it just took the right person to kind of to, you know, to bring it out and whether or not that's going to be problematic for you or not.00:34:50.429 --> 00:34:56.306


So, and anybody can say that they've done the work yeah just like anybody can say they're six, one, it's, it's very true.00:34:57.009 --> 00:35:01.766


Now it's time to get to know you with zoyo, sponsored by zoyo, your neighborhood yogurt.00:35:01.766 --> 00:35:06.302


Pick the top card and answer the question at your own risk.00:35:07.563 --> 00:35:08.043


Let's see.00:35:08.043 --> 00:35:14.811


Have you ever had sex with more than one person in a day?00:35:16.032 --> 00:35:17.373


Ooh spicy one.00:35:17.373 --> 00:35:18.835


The answer is yes.00:35:18.835 --> 00:35:24.168


Yes, what More than two?00:35:24.568 --> 00:35:24.869


Yes, what?00:35:24.869 --> 00:35:28.001


Listen, I was young, it was a long time ago.00:35:28.001 --> 00:35:42.702


I may or may not have danced in dallas um like at a club back yeah, like gogo dancing, like magic mic dancing it was a long time listen.00:35:42.702 --> 00:35:45.505


This is not, so don't judge me on this.00:35:45.505 --> 00:35:46.726


For then, what did you?00:35:46.905 --> 00:35:48.086


have to wear Thong.00:35:49.608 --> 00:35:56.753


So, yes, my little getup was that I would be bussing tables Because it was, you know, it was kind of upscale.00:35:56.753 --> 00:36:00.454


So you'd have, like this do they even have them these days?00:36:00.454 --> 00:36:08.307


A bolo like a bolo jacket, it's like a waist-length jacket, and you know, you had a bow tie and you know, shirt and whatever.00:36:08.307 --> 00:36:18.547


And then they would announce me and then I would be like, oh my gosh, right now, and I put the tray down and I would go up, and then so the jacket would come off and it would be what do they call it?00:36:18.547 --> 00:36:19.684


Is it a dickie or whatever?00:36:19.684 --> 00:36:22.387


It would just be the piece of the shirt.00:36:22.387 --> 00:36:31.780


Well, not, I would pull the dickie off and then what would be left would be the bow tie and the collar, and then the pants were.00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:41.085


You know, they were velcro pants yeah, just tear away pants, and then yeah, so, and then I had the little call the cuffs.00:36:41.085 --> 00:36:44.539


The cuffs stayed on, so I had these little cuffs that is hilarious.00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:45.902


How long did you do that for?00:36:46.123 --> 00:36:47.407


just, uh, just a of years.00:36:47.407 --> 00:36:48.389


And then I ended up meeting.00:36:48.389 --> 00:36:58.108


You know, at the time I ended up meeting my wife, Not while that was going on, but I was at the club and you know I was young.00:37:00.443 --> 00:37:05.057


I think that should be another off-menu special at your hot dog truck.00:37:05.117 --> 00:37:05.599


Absolutely.00:37:07.304 --> 00:37:13.806


If there's a suggestion box for Henry's hot dogs, I think it should be another off menu.00:37:14.829 --> 00:37:16.052


Did you make good money doing that?00:37:16.052 --> 00:37:17.061


I bet the money was good.00:37:17.300 --> 00:37:32.922


Um, I did, Okay, but listen, you know I'm I'm pretty comfortable in, in knowing where I stand, you know, in terms of attractiveness and, um, there were some dudes there that they were you might've you could have just been gay like they were.00:37:32.922 --> 00:37:47.693


Just they would walk in, you're just like, really like, all right, well, tips are going to be gone because you know this guy is chiseled and you know blonde hair, blue eyed, and you know the perfect marlboro mustache and you know, and a bunch of those guys they would dance.00:37:47.693 --> 00:37:49.480


So there's two types of guys a bunch of those guys they would dance.00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:50.442


So there's two types of guys.00:37:50.442 --> 00:37:57.940


There were the gay guys that would come over, that were super stupid, hot, but would come over because they were working to get money, but they also worked at the gay clubs.00:37:57.940 --> 00:38:03.222


And then there were straight guys who would go to the gay clubs because the money at the gay clubs was way better.00:38:03.744 --> 00:38:10.282


I never transitioned over had, if I, you know, if I could go back to my younger self, I'd be like dude, you need to go and work at the gay clubs.00:38:10.282 --> 00:38:10.923


You would have killed.00:38:10.923 --> 00:38:18.550


Yeah, because I think over, you know, in the gay community I think I'm like an otter or something like that.00:38:18.550 --> 00:38:19.711


They're just like here we go.00:38:22.423 --> 00:38:23.505


Were the women crazy?00:38:24.346 --> 00:38:28.592


yes, I it's funny because I'm now you.00:38:28.592 --> 00:38:29.934


You know I'm I'm tuned in.00:38:29.934 --> 00:38:40.047


You know I've got daughters and I, you know I've done the work, I've read the books, you know, and I I do like a women's self-defense thing for runners and stuff and so I pay attention.00:38:40.047 --> 00:38:43.704


I realized that you guys live in a very different world than we do.00:38:43.704 --> 00:38:55.751


If if these guys were to sit down and just talk to you and just ask you what your day looks like when you go to the gas pump or you go to, they'd find out horrible things about the way men behave right.00:38:56.239 --> 00:38:58.847


So I think I just got lost in my answer.00:38:58.847 --> 00:38:59.789


What was the question again?00:39:00.170 --> 00:39:01.373


With a woman, crazy, yes.00:39:01.739 --> 00:39:09.940


So now I look back and I'm like, oh, I bet you, that's what a woman's day looks like, right, either visually or you know, or physically.00:39:09.940 --> 00:39:16.802


But yeah, no, they had zero problems getting a handful or looking for change I mean they put a dollar in.00:39:16.822 --> 00:39:18.467


You're like you're not getting three quarters back.00:39:18.467 --> 00:39:19.168


What are you doing?00:39:19.168 --> 00:39:20.541


Did you have a signature move?00:39:20.541 --> 00:39:22.987


Yeah, there was this.00:39:22.987 --> 00:39:33.726


There mirrored this one other guy, this, uh, this he was the only black dancer I knew, but I mean he was, the was just shredded and he was such a good time and we both.00:39:33.726 --> 00:39:39.851


I danced at a school of performing arts for a little bit, so I did jazz and ballet and he did something very similar.00:39:39.851 --> 00:39:48.387


So, yeah, we had this little move that we could do, and then we could do that move, and then both of us could nail like six pirouettes in a row.00:39:48.929 --> 00:39:50.572


Wow, impressive, that is impressive.00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:57.574


And then just nail it and just boom and just stop, and then you'd hit that pose and then do a little plank, the women would go crazy.00:39:57.574 --> 00:40:00.204


Yeah, it was ridiculous.00:40:01.088 --> 00:40:01.871


Well, thank you so much.00:40:01.871 --> 00:40:04.164
