Gina's Couple Interactions Observations from April 14th, 2026 · The Radio From Hell Show - Best Of

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed my holiday in Hawaii, but I had some
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: observations along the way. Oh, observations of how couples interact.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, and you know it started on the airplane.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: And I know traveling is stressful, but just how people
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: talk to each other is surprising to me. Why did
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: you put my bag up there? We're sitting in Roe
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: C and you put my bag in E. Why don't
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: you put it in Roe C? Instead of oh, we
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: should we should move our bags? Oh, why don't we
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: put our bags here? It always starts with a and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: it's usually the woman talking to the man exasperated. Yeah,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: that's because we're all whipped or you know, we're at
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the pool. You're in Hawaii at the pool, and your
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: husband came down before you, you know, to save you
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a spot. Uh huh. I don't want to be in
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the sun. Why did you get us this chair in that?
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: These are different people, by the way, It's not like
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I said the same couple everywhere. Why did you give
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: me a chair in the sun. I want to be
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: in the shade. How hard is it to say, oh,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: thanks for saving me a spot. I think I'm gonna
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: look for one in the shade because I don't want
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to get too much. Why is your default to be
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: an ass? And I think people that's just their habit,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: that's just how they talk. And you take your you know,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: partner for granted and you treat them like crap. Why
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: is it? Why? Why can't your default be to think
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: of a nice way to say something rather than guy,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you idiot? Why did you give me a chair in
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the sun?
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: My take from this is your default should be not
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: to speak so loud that people can hear you. Being
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: this way, there's no reason to speak up. Don't speak
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: so loud.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: There is no reason to talk to your partner.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you don't have to live with him, especially
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: what he puts your bag up in the plane.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: He came down and got you with seats. He you know,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: ordered you Why did you order me fries? You know?
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I'm on a dot the first the first for me.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I saw it all over.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: The place, and I I think it's interesting though, that
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: you're you're singling out women here.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: That's what I saw. I didn't see. I'm just this
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: is my experience on the trip is various women being
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: jerky to their husband or boyfriend or whatever, and it
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: always starts with that and a little eye roll, like
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you you do everything wrong?
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: And how do the how do the men react to
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: this whip?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: You were making a joke, but they were like, yes, dear,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Why is that? Why is that a relationship? You?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Why be in a relationship if that's.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Here's an article that was in the Wall Street Journal
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: a couple of days ago. The headline is, is masculinity
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: in crisis? These TV shows suggest, yes, it is. That's science.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: John Hamm's character on Apple TV's Your Friends and Neighbors
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: puts it, we all have a dream, but I was
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: starting to suspect that my dreams had been every bit
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: as full of s as the rest of me. And
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Rooster Steve Carell plays Greg Russo, a divorce bestselling author
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: roped into accepting a writer's residency, and then he's the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: butt of all the jokes.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about emasculation.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about well, that's what it does.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about this is the person you have chosen
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to spend your time and possibly life with.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: This is the person I have chosen to spend my
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: life emasculating.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Why don't you want your interaction? You know? These are
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: people that don't say please and thank you to theirs,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: could you please hand me a drink?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: It's because it's because it's because of I think, in
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: large part, a dissatisfied the person who's doing that, The
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: woman who's doing that is just so dissatisfied with the
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: state of her own life that that she's going to
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: take it out on her partner. That would be my
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: armchair psychology.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Then you should look into that. Yeah, oh definitely, there's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: no there's no reason to live like that, is what
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I'm saying.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: And did you ever did you see any of the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: men standing up to it?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: No? I just don't understand. I would rather if if
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: that were how my my dynamic with my relationship with
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: my purse, I would rather be alone than have that.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Why why put up with that? What? You should be
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the most kind to that person, you're the most deferential
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to that person. You should go out of your way
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: to to make their life nicer and better, more comfortable.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: But again, you don't you don't know, you don't know
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: whether they deserve it or not.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: That's my point. If if he's that horrible, why are
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you with him? Why be in a relationship with somebody
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: that you feel like you have to talk multiply.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: A multitude of reasons. There are a multitude of reasons
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I can't. I have I have no support of my own.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: We have children to consider.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: The okay then all, but then you can make it
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: better by.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Or simply I'm not feeling well.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I don't care how crappy I felt. I would never
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: talk to my husband that way. I just wouldn't. He's
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: my person, he's the he's the he's the thing that
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: makes me happy. Why would I be crappy to him? Ever?
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: It just made me idea, Well, you're you are.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: You are lucky that you have someone that continues to
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: make you happy, because a lot of people don't have someone.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Then why why?
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Because there are there are multiple reasons, I mean, there
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: are any number of reasons. Why why you stick together.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, maybe take a second before you respond,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: because I bet a lot of it is just habit.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: And you go up to the hotel room after the pool,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: and and if you listen in on the conversation and
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: maybe she says I'm instead of it's I'm really sorry.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I hope so I really hope that happens.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: It happens all the time.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I really hope that happened people.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Most people don't have perfect relationships as you do.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying mine's perfect. I'm just saying if you
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: just take a second before you respond and think, what
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: is it? What is a nicer way? I can say
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: this because don't we all need to be nicer to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: each other, more gentler with each other? Is more gentle?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Well more gentler? Why about society wouldn't suggest that? No,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: that we don't. I mean, just the way things are going,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: so that all the more reason.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: To try anyway.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: That was just my What is that sound to me?
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: That's the sound of somebody who's got something stuck in
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: the back of their own I need a name for
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: that sound.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: And treat treat people, not to be jesus y, but
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: treat people the way you want to be treated. Do
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you want to be talked to that way? Or if
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: you went down and saved a seat and your person
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: came down and didn't like the seat, do you want
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: them going? Or would you rather than say thanks for
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: getting me a seat, I think I'm gonna look for
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: one in the shade. How do you want to be
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: talked to me?
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: And then talk to people the way you want to be.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: And then and then the husband thinks to himself, great,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I failed again.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: It's not I failed again. It's like if you start
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: with thank you for saving me, you see, I appreciate
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: you coming down and getting that for me. I think
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I am going to move over here into the shade, though.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: It's the same outcome. Thank you for putting my bag
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: up there. It would be easier when we leave the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: plane if you put it over on this side, so
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: maybe we can move it.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I know I always do things wrong, don't I really,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: that's what you're saying. I never make the right choice,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: is what you're telling you.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: It's just just an observation.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I should have realized that you wanted a seat in
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: it in the shade. I I've screwed it up again.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Nothing to be sorry. It was nice of you to
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: save me a seat.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, whatever you say, dear.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: That's my sign off today, by the way.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: And then and that's when he pushes her off the boat.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: That's a story.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I need a name for that noise. I need a
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: name for that noise. I mean, it's the sound of disgust.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: But what no, no, what.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: No, I'm afraid. Yes, yes, that's it, uh, Sue says.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: What I'm getting from this is.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: What what the iff is this lady doing?
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Going on vacation and still dieting no fries. You're on vacation.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: I have some pride, all right,
