The Most Important Question To Ask... · Armstrong & Getty One More Thing

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The most important question to ask someone before you marry
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: them or even date them. It's one more thing.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: I'm what sex are you?
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Just to be sure check the junk. I think bigger
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: than that is a dog. Does your dog sleep in
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: bed with you? That's a bigger dividing line than whether
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: you're actually a dude or a chicken. Oh my god,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: this has become very clear to me having been UHD
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: online dating for a total of like five months, and
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I will never do it again. It's not for me.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: But man, that's a big one. And uh, I don't
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: know if there's any bridge in that gap on a
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of this stuff. So I was looking at start.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: It started this conversation with my son. Yesterday, we went,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I want to eat something somewhere different for Memorial Day,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: somewhere fun. So we went to this restaurant that's along
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the local river, restaurant on the river and got a
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: deck on the river and all that sort of stuff,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and it's cool. So we went nate and the food
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: was good and it was fun and Memorial Day issue.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: There are people there that had dogs at the restaurant.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: It's fine. It's kind of half outdoor, but still, you
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: brought your dog to the restaurant. Not everybody does that
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: act a restaurant we both stumbled out of many years ago. Yes,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: this is true institution. Yeah, but I was looking up
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the percentages. It's hard to nail these down for variety
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: of reasons. Part of it is you always end up
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: with a whole bunch of surveys that clearly Global vet
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Link says eighty percent of American pet owners take their
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: pets on trips annually. Of course you're a yeah exactly,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you're a pet food or a vet thing or whatever.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: But the percentages are growing. I think we all realize this.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Of restaurants that allow dogs in them, Yeah, from zero
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to some several, from zero to if you're not old
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: enough to have lived this, from zero, it was inconceivable
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: that anybody would even ask the question, be okay, if
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I brought my dog in here? What would be the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: answer to every restaurant you go to, especially in like
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: living in California now pretty much always there's at least
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: ad dog there, uh, if not many, many, especially if
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: there's any sort of outdoor deck, and then whether you
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: want to do that or not. And then there's the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: take the dog in your car. Oh, I skip apart.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: So there are some dogs on the deck there at
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the restaurant. And I have to be careful here because
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: my two sons have grown up with many, many, many
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: dogs around them, causing problems all the time. They're one
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: of them. In particular, my kids is quite anti having
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a dog around, which is unfortunate, but he just can't
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: imagine why you'd bring a dog to the restaurant. Meant
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you had to drive there with the dog. And he's
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: done many road trips with the dog in the car
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and does not like it at all because of everything
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that with it. And if you like it, fine, if
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you like it, absolutely fine, But you got to find
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: other people that like it also, is the thing. And
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: if you drive, I've done road trips with a dog,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you gotta stop and let it out a lot. You
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: got hair all over everything. Sometimes they throw up if
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: there's winding roads, there's just a lot involved. And if
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you like that sort of thing, again, fine, you gotta
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: have companions who also like it. Anyway, so you drove
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: with the dog in the car to the restaurant, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: then it's at the restaurant and we were sitting there
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and then we saw several boats go by or they
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: had dogs on the boat, which should be a similar
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: sort of thing. And again, fine, if you like that
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: sort of thing. And then I was looking into the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: what percentage of people sleep with their pets. This is
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: a little more solid information based on the polling looks
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: like legitimate polling. American Kennel Club says forty five percent
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: of dog owners let their dogs sleep in their bed.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: That seems a little high to me, but even in
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: like regular surveys, it's a third. Sixty two percent of
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: people let small dogs sleep in their bed, forty of
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: medium sized dog owners let them sleep in their bed,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: only a third of large dog owners let them sleep
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: in their bed, but sixty two percent of small dog owners.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's a hard no. Hey, glad we got together,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: enjoyed the reindeer games. I'm going over there to sleep.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Good night you and your dog, good night.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Your cat's sleep in your bed. Michael, No, no again.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I am perfectly okay with the fact that you do this,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: but it is a it is an absolute red line. Weird.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Can't be a couple thing for me. I'm not taking
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: road trips with the dog in a car and we're
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: not sleeping with the dog in the bed. I just
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: can't do it. I can't do it. Yeah, if I
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: tried to do it, because like you're really nice and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: everything else about you, I absolutely think it's fantastic and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I think we could make a great couple. I would
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: spend my entire time fighting back bitterness or resentfulness by
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: having a dog waking me up in the bed or
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: being annoying in the car. And I realized, for a
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: lot of you listening right now, you love that. You
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: absolutely love it. I know you. I have been with you,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I have written in cars with you and then and
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the old bed thing and everything else or airplanes got
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to help the airplanes. You love it. But man, my
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: only point in this is not right or wrong. It's
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: just it is a hard lot dividing line.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Because if you it reminds me of that do you
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: use the bathroom in front of each other topic that
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: we talked about a few weeks ago, or it was like,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: oh my god, you what said both sides of the question. Yes,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: you're a lunatics, right, both sides right?
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I had that very conversation with a woman,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and well, I'll look at it from the other side
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: with the dog thing to be more pro that side.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I realize you would be resentful about the dogs on
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the floor and doesn't isn't it bed with you anymore?
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: You'd be you would hate that every night, you'd be
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: a little resentful that the dog can't get in bed.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Is now, really you love the dog and this person
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: has hurt the dog's feelings.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Or having to take your boring road trips without the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: dog in the car because you love it so much.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know. That's just where they're way way, way,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: way way more pets. There's all kinds of data around
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: this way way way more pets, and we spend way
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: more money on pets than anybody probably has in the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: history of the world. But that is a huge dividing line.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: And I know my son's a hardcore He'll never be
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: in a relationship with somebody who's going to want to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: have a dog in the bed or in the car,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and that eliminates I told him, I said, I understand
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: because I feel the same way. But I'm telling you,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: you're cutting out like half the chicks available out there
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: by taking that stance. It's a tough one. It is
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: a tough un like half. I mean seriously, not exaggerating.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: It might be half. A college girls have a dog
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: that they expect to sleep in the bed and ride
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: in the car with them. Wow.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just it looks stressful to me, the dog
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: everywhere lifestyle. I mean a grocery store, I'm in a
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: hardware store, I'm at a restaurant. I don't want to
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: be dealing with a dog.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: What about a small dog.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: But it's first dog, Paris Hilton dog.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Eh, that's better because the thing's unlikely to cause any problems.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: But and again, this is like you said, it's not
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I'm not judging anybody or saying you're wrong. I'm right.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: It's just interesting that I just it looks stressful to
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: me trying to, you know, control your dog in a
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: restaurant or a bar or whatever. Judy and I we
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: used to go up to our mountain cabin pretty regularly,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: and frankly, getting.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Backster ruined it.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Not ruined it completely, but he upped the stress because
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: he would puke a lot, so he had to change
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: his feeding schedule, and then he was hungry, and then
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: you know, have to drive super carefully then get up
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: there and feed him, and then you know, we we'd
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: go off for long hikes. Well he would whimper and
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: cry and he wanted to come, and I was like,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: all right, now we're walking in dog, we're not lost hiking,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and we got to watch him because there are snakes
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and the rest of it.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: And it just.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's not like I lack the capacity to
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: love or anything. Please ask me about my children. I
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: just don't get how it's not more stressful for people
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: as most a pleasurable. But again to each thrown.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but my only point really is I don't
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: understand why this hasn't become more of a conversation because
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: it is such a red line. It should be. I
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: think it should be like an all dating profile website
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. It should be like the very top line.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I take my dog everywhere. A lot of people say
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: you have to love dogs. Okay, I love dogs, Oh yeah,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I absolutely love dogs. Don't want them ride in the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: car with me, and I don't want them in the bed.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: So then we might know, just kind of have at
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the top line everybody one hundred percent no on dogs
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: sleeping in bed or one hundred percent always. I will
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: be miserable the rest of my life if my dog
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't get to sleep in bed. See don't ways to
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I'm with each other. I guess m he's down that road.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: No dog in the car, But like, for how about
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: just your your running errands or something.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I don't want a dog in a car. I don't understand.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Why would wand up other people?
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Can you hate dogs and you hate people who permit it?
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: What's the upside of bringing the dog in the car?
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: The dogs to come and.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Stick his nose out and smell stuff and oh his
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: ears flap and it's just fantastic.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: That's fine again if you like it. I just don't
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: want to do it. And so the problem being is everybody,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: whether you're a pro or anti, you've cut the dating
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: pool like in half, which is already hard. Now you
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: cut it in half.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: You rather end up with a woman who lets her
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: dog sleep in the bed or a dude. It's about
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: a coin flip for me.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: God, I honestly feel like I could. I could. I could.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Is he kind of pretty and effeminate looking?
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know, right are Can we just not have
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: sex and just be happy together?
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Just be buddies.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm ever east to the dog things.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Stay on your half of the bed, all right, pal,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: All right, then at least you're not at all.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: You gotta wear sweats warming nudity. Fair enough.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: What about a girl that has a small dog and
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: a baby stroller dressed up, pushes it around everywhere.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: And it's so disappointing because you meet somebody and they're
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: so nice and everything, every single other aspect of it.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: But I just I'd have to be hypnotized to not
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: be resentful at some point that I'm trying to sleep
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: with the dog in the bed.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Well, and there are a lot of married couples I
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: don't know what percentage, but that sleep separately sometimes as
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: they age. Maybe it's snoring or sleep problems or stuff
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: like that. A lot of tossing and turning. Could you
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: see that? Maybe I prefer not to.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I could do that. Maybe that's the answer on
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that one.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Like I said, yeah, enjoy the rein to your games.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: You ever a little squeeze and say it's a sleepy time,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: you and the dog.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Enjoy yourselves.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I'm heading to Joe's slumber palace right down the hall.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: If you need something yell.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: You don't need to drive with the dog, Just have
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: one of your kids stick their head out the window
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: the whole time.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I like it. If you need something yell heading somebody
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: broke in, I'm on it.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Slumbering over here.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Have the dog look into it.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Well, I guess that's it.
