0:05
Speaker 1: The problems.
0:07
Speaker 2: We got an email from one of our listeners asking
0:10
Speaker 2: for some help with an issue she's having with her
0:13
Speaker 2: boyfriend's mom.
0:15
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, not quite her mom in law? Really?
0:17
Speaker 3: No, not yet?
0:18
Speaker 1: Not quite or maybe never?
0:20
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, if you could keep me anonymous so we
0:23
Speaker 2: will call her a nanny.
0:25
Speaker 3: I'd really appreciate it.
0:27
Speaker 2: I'll let you know that I live in more Head
0:29
Speaker 2: and I'm hoping you could use this email for your
0:31
Speaker 2: show and let me know. Am I the problem? I
0:33
Speaker 2: love my boyfriend and I really think he could be
0:35
Speaker 2: the one. He's super close with his family, and I've
0:38
Speaker 2: been trying to build a good relationship with them too,
0:40
Speaker 2: especially his mom. But now she's texting me every single day,
0:45
Speaker 2: commenting on everything I post, and basically filling up my
0:48
Speaker 2: weekends with quote unquote family time. It's starting to feel
0:52
Speaker 2: like I'm dating her too. I know she means well,
0:55
Speaker 2: but it's all getting to be a lot. If this
0:58
Speaker 2: is what life looks like with him long term, I'm
1:01
Speaker 2: not sure I'm ready for it. How do I set
1:03
Speaker 2: boundaries with her without hurting our relationship or making things
1:07
Speaker 2: awkward for Everyoneikes?
1:10
Speaker 3: I feel so bad for a nani? Do you yes?
1:14
Speaker 4: Because I think I'm missing part of this story, A nanni,
1:18
Speaker 4: what do.
1:18
Speaker 2: You think is the issue game? I would like your
1:21
Speaker 2: team before I give mine. What what do you think
1:26
Speaker 2: I feel like the issued Normally you feel better about,
1:31
Speaker 2: you know, putting up hard boundaries when it's like my
1:34
Speaker 2: boyfriend's mom is so rude. She's always like in our business,
1:38
Speaker 2: she's a meddler.
1:39
Speaker 3: She hates me.
1:41
Speaker 2: That is like, okay, well you just you know, muster
1:44
Speaker 2: up the courage and you're like, no, this stops here.
1:47
Speaker 1: We've heard that story a thousands yeah times yet, but this.
1:49
Speaker 2: One, I get that it's annoying, but it's like she
1:53
Speaker 2: loves you, a nani, like, that's kind of major. If
1:57
Speaker 2: I would have looked into my mother in law situation
2:00
Speaker 2: early on, my life could have been a lot.
2:02
Speaker 3: Different because my mother in law didn't like me for
2:07
Speaker 3: a long time.
2:08
Speaker 2: In fact, now that me and her son have split,
2:10
Speaker 2: she likes me a lot better. And so here's the thing, Like,
2:14
Speaker 2: I feel for you, a nanny, but.
2:17
Speaker 3: I feel like this is a good problem to have.
2:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree with that. You'd must rather have
2:22
Speaker 4: mom in law like you too much? Then yeah, I'd
2:25
Speaker 4: much rather have that problem, right, now what.
2:28
Speaker 3: Is she texting her?
2:29
Speaker 4: Though?
2:29
Speaker 3: That's I want That's.
2:31
Speaker 4: What I want to know, all right, Anonymous? Are you
2:35
Speaker 4: constantly responding? Do you know how easy it is to
2:39
Speaker 4: kind of slow out someone who texts you too much?
2:42
Speaker 4: You just sort of ignore it for a couple hours
2:45
Speaker 4: and then respond, and then the next day you ignore
2:48
Speaker 4: it a little bit longer and then respond.
2:50
Speaker 1: It's like training a dog.
2:52
Speaker 4: Okay, first you respond, you wait an hour, and then
2:56
Speaker 4: you respond, and then you wait two hours the next day,
2:59
Speaker 4: and then six hours and then you know, it's really
3:02
Speaker 4: not that hard. So I've painted this image that Anani
3:06
Speaker 4: finds the finds it that she needs to respond to
3:09
Speaker 4: everything all the time.
3:10
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you just don't respond. Just pretend you
3:14
Speaker 1: didn't see.
3:15
Speaker 3: It, like semi ghost exactly.
3:17
Speaker 1: Just ghost your own mother in law. You'll see her
3:20
Speaker 1: at Christmas.
3:22
Speaker 4: You can catch up then, okay, and then you respond
3:24
Speaker 4: the next day. Oh sorry, thought I responded to this,
3:28
Speaker 4: but I accidentally hit the letter P, which is what
3:30
Speaker 4: happens to me a lot. I'll hit pee instead of
3:32
Speaker 4: send on the iPhone. Oh my god, I do that
3:34
Speaker 4: all the time. So that's my excuse when I don't
3:36
Speaker 4: respond to a text fastest.
3:37
Speaker 2: Okay, well, now I know why you never answer my
3:39
Speaker 2: text messages.
3:42
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I'm kidding.
3:43
Speaker 2: So Gabe's advice to Anonymous is not to really set
3:48
Speaker 2: a boundary, yeah, rather train her boyfriend's mom like a dog.
3:53
Speaker 2: So we need your help because I think maybe your
3:56
Speaker 2: advice is gonna help Anonymous more seven oh one two
3:59
Speaker 2: eight seven call us or text us let us know?
4:03
Speaker 2: Is Anonymous the problem for not loving? How in love
4:07
Speaker 2: with her her boyfriend's mom is? And what would you
4:10
Speaker 2: do in this situation?
4:12
Speaker 4: This is a perfect example of Angie and I neither
4:15
Speaker 4: us are mother in laws. So if you are a
4:18
Speaker 4: mother in law, maybe you have some good advice. Oh yeah, well,
4:21
Speaker 4: Angie's not a mom in law. I'm not a mom
4:23
Speaker 4: in law. What would what would you give advice to
4:26
Speaker 4: this young lady? How would you want your daughter in
4:28
Speaker 4: law to approach this situation? At seven oh one two
4:31
Speaker 4: eight zero one nine.
4:38
Speaker 2: The problem Anonymous in more Head reached out to us
4:41
Speaker 2: asking for some advice. She has a boyfriend and she
4:45
Speaker 2: was trying to make a good relationship with his mom,
4:50
Speaker 2: but now it's gone too far. The mom is texting
4:52
Speaker 2: her all day every day and she doesn't know how
4:55
Speaker 2: to set the boundary because she just doesn't want to
4:58
Speaker 2: be that involved with her boyfriend.
5:00
Speaker 3: Mom.
5:00
Speaker 2: So we asked you if you could give us some advice,
5:03
Speaker 2: and we had an actual mother in law text mom
5:07
Speaker 2: in law in the wild yes, so she would know,
5:10
Speaker 2: She said, tell that girl to lie.
5:12
Speaker 3: What we don't know won't hurt us.
5:17
Speaker 1: Advice?
5:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean a mom in law or what would
5:20
Speaker 4: it be like a fom in law, fake mom in law,
5:24
Speaker 4: a fom in law.
5:25
Speaker 1: I'm busy this weekend, exactly right.
5:28
Speaker 3: They don't have to know the truth. Yeah, fails.
5:32
Speaker 2: Lie.
5:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not busy. You're eating cheese. It's on a
5:34
Speaker 4: big bean bag watching Gilmore Girls.
5:39
Speaker 3: You know too much about what girls do.
5:47
Speaker 4: We like starting to show off with some positivity and
5:49
Speaker 4: give you a reason to smile. Whether they're goofy, fun
5:52
Speaker 4: little things or big, giant, massive things. Either way, we
5:56
Speaker 4: just like starting to show off on a positive note.
5:58
Speaker 1: Do you have a little victory today, Angie?
6:00
Speaker 2: I made it to work on time. I woke up
6:02
Speaker 2: late yesterday. Yesterday I was like, the melatonin is helping
6:08
Speaker 2: me sleep ya.
6:09
Speaker 3: Okay, it worked a little too well.
6:11
Speaker 1: Now you're just knocked out completely.
6:13
Speaker 3: But I got it together. I pulled it together. I
6:16
Speaker 3: made it. I'm here with live. I feel good.
6:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, I think. Yeah, I don't even know.
6:21
Speaker 4: If i'd count that as a little victory, I'd say
6:23
Speaker 4: that's downright a pause, a massive victory.
6:26
Speaker 1: Thank you.
6:26
Speaker 3: I appreciate it.
6:27
Speaker 2: Do you an.
6:28
Speaker 1: Interesting show here? Just solo captain in this thing?
6:30
Speaker 2: What would your impression of me be like if you
6:33
Speaker 2: had to play both parts?
6:35
Speaker 4: Oh, it'd be like today's riety big ninety eight point seven.
6:37
Speaker 4: It's gave an angie hey or something like that is
6:41
Speaker 4: probably how I do.
6:43
Speaker 1: No, I don't know.
6:44
Speaker 3: I like it.
6:45
Speaker 4: My little victory yesterday. Once again, I'm kind of cheating
6:48
Speaker 4: as I've done this now. I did this yesterday as well,
6:51
Speaker 4: but I completed another seven mile bike ride yesterday, So
6:55
Speaker 4: I did back to back days of going seven miles.
6:58
Speaker 4: And I do think at some point by next week
7:01
Speaker 4: I'm gonna try to do this big giant loop I do,
7:04
Speaker 4: which is down twenty fifth over to University, back up
7:07
Speaker 4: going south on University towards my neck of the woods
7:10
Speaker 4: in South Fargo. And I think by next week I'm
7:13
Speaker 4: gonna try to do this big giant loop twice and
7:17
Speaker 4: we'll see how long it takes. And then I'm gonna
7:19
Speaker 4: really try to narrow that down that it'd be around
7:23
Speaker 4: like thirteen ish miles, and I want to see if
7:25
Speaker 4: I can.
7:25
Speaker 1: Maybe do it in under like forty minutes. We'll see.
7:28
Speaker 4: It just gets really tough when you're going on fifty
7:30
Speaker 4: second right, you're on twenty fifth going down or going
7:33
Speaker 4: north on twenty fifth to fifty second from where we
7:36
Speaker 4: live in South Fargo. When I take the right to
7:39
Speaker 4: go to university, it's just weird on fifty second with
7:42
Speaker 4: the lights, and like, I don't want to be that
7:45
Speaker 4: guy riding like his bike in this street where there's
7:48
Speaker 4: just a not a ton of room and a bunch
7:50
Speaker 4: of cars and there's people who have to turn right
7:53
Speaker 4: off of fifties and it's hard to really just kind
7:56
Speaker 4: of fly. Yeah, I get that, So I want to
8:00
Speaker 4: if I can do it in under forty to forty
8:01
Speaker 4: five minutes.
8:02
Speaker 1: Next week, we'll see.
8:03
Speaker 4: But back to back days of riding six miles or
8:06
Speaker 4: six ish miles, seven miles felt pretty good.
8:09
Speaker 3: What are these caves of you? Is looking like maw Gabe.
8:12
Speaker 4: The lungs felt great. I was fine, the cardio is good,
8:15
Speaker 4: but I will say my legs were tired on the
8:18
Speaker 4: last like quarter mile yesterday. I was, oh, man, I
8:20
Speaker 4: can definitely tell I've done this.
8:21
Speaker 2: So, you know what, I wish I knew any other
8:24
Speaker 2: cyclist besides Lance Armstrong because he turned out to be
8:27
Speaker 2: a cheater, cheater.
8:36
Speaker 1: What.
8:37
Speaker 3: I just didn't accept this.
8:40
Speaker 2: You throw surprises at me sometimes, Gabe that I'm like, oh, okay,
8:44
Speaker 2: but this is very fitting because.
8:48
Speaker 3: We're going to talk about bedroom time.
8:51
Speaker 2: And specifically specifically parents.
8:56
Speaker 3: How do you sneak in bedroom time?
9:00
Speaker 2: And you've got these kiddles that are just always you know,
9:03
Speaker 2: in the way.
9:04
Speaker 1: Here's the thing.
9:06
Speaker 2: Exactly, I'm trying to My boyfriend is moving here in
9:10
Speaker 2: this summer. It's just a few weeks away, and I
9:14
Speaker 2: was thinking, wait a minute, when are we ever gonna
9:17
Speaker 2: find time to do anything like go bowling?
9:21
Speaker 3: Yeah? Like go bowling?
9:23
Speaker 1: Yeah.
9:23
Speaker 2: And so I just I asked on our Instagram and
9:27
Speaker 2: on our Facebook, what are your hacks for sneaking in
9:32
Speaker 2: bedroom time when you've got the kids.
9:34
Speaker 3: And so we got some good ones. We got a
9:36
Speaker 3: lot of dms.
9:37
Speaker 2: On Instagram versus on Facebook.
9:40
Speaker 4: They can't give away the secrets their kids on Instagram.
9:44
Speaker 1: There we go.
9:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Kara said, ever have to do laundry.
9:48
Speaker 2: Throw some chicken nuggets at the kids, turn on the TV,
9:52
Speaker 2: and then go do laundry.
9:54
Speaker 3: It might only be a few minutes, but it can work.
9:57
Speaker 4: Yeah. You know, at my house, if we got a
9:59
Speaker 4: sneak in bedroom time. Now I don't have kids, what
10:03
Speaker 4: I normally will do. Our process is we just shut
10:07
Speaker 4: the door.
10:09
Speaker 3: You know, unhelpful game, get out of.
10:12
Speaker 1: Your cats, get out of here dog. Usually we can
10:15
Speaker 1: just shut the door.
10:16
Speaker 3: Okay, well I can't just do that.
10:20
Speaker 1: Will bother the door and knock?
10:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. I can't stick my kids in a crate.
10:26
Speaker 1: And then.
10:28
Speaker 2: Well, well, and then this one. Listen, Lindsey, I love
10:39
Speaker 2: a logical answer, but we're to pass far that this
10:42
Speaker 2: is teach them privacy and boundaries at a young age.
10:47
Speaker 3: It's too late.
10:48
Speaker 1: They're sitting there knocking on the door.
10:50
Speaker 4: They are being respectful and trying to give you privacy
10:53
Speaker 4: with maybe needing your help for something.
10:57
Speaker 3: That's true. Here's this last one. This is Greg.
11:01
Speaker 2: My wife and I take showers at the same time
11:04
Speaker 2: all the time. Save their screen time for advantageous moments.
11:08
Speaker 1: I don't actually hate that.
11:09
Speaker 2: That's true. You throw an iPad at the kid and
11:12
Speaker 2: be like, I gotta take a shower. I gotta take
11:14
Speaker 2: a shower.
11:14
Speaker 3: Okay, I guess we have to take a shower.
11:17
Speaker 4: I will say, though, if that is your strategy or
11:19
Speaker 4: your strat as the kids say, make sure you get
11:22
Speaker 4: one of those non slip surfaces.
11:28
Speaker 1: Please please please don't prove them now.
11:34
Speaker 2: Yeah.
11:34
Speaker 4: I don't know if you saw this or not, Angie,
11:35
Speaker 4: but Brad Pitt and Angelina and Joe Lee have both
11:39
Speaker 4: talked about their divorce. Now, obviously it was heartbreaking, it
11:44
Speaker 4: wasn't fun, it was a horrible time.
11:45
Speaker 1: But you know, down the road now they have come out.
11:48
Speaker 4: And both basically mentioned that really what the worst part
11:52
Speaker 4: about it has been people just prying into their private lives.
11:56
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and just a horrible and I this is
11:59
Speaker 4: a quote a nagging time suck, which is a fabulous quote.
12:05
Speaker 1: By the way, I'll be using that in my now vernacular.
12:07
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's what I call my children. I'm just kidding.
12:12
Speaker 3: I love them.
12:13
Speaker 4: So today I wanted to know if you are someone
12:16
Speaker 4: who has either a gone through a divorce or be
12:20
Speaker 4: a tough breakup or something. I don't know, I just
12:23
Speaker 4: want to know, how would you go about doing that
12:25
Speaker 4: more smoothly so you don't end up in the same
12:27
Speaker 4: situation as Brad Bitt and Angelina.
12:30
Speaker 2: Jones their divorce because I followed along with it. It
12:33
Speaker 2: was so contentious. There was so much going on, and
12:37
Speaker 2: we all heard about it because they're celebrities, right, and
12:41
Speaker 2: it was really rough. I personally, Gabe, I'm going through
12:45
Speaker 2: a divorce now right, and it hasn't been the smoothest always.
12:52
Speaker 2: But I think we finally got to a place where
12:55
Speaker 2: it was like, listen, us being together was not sustainable,
12:58
Speaker 2: like it just when we're out.
13:00
Speaker 3: Okay.
13:00
Speaker 2: We were together for one hundred and fifty two years
13:03
Speaker 2: and we grew apart.
13:04
Speaker 3: Wow, Well, I think shifted for us.
13:08
Speaker 2: I know so many good for you, I look great
13:11
Speaker 2: for my age, But I think what shifted for us
13:17
Speaker 2: is when we because we have kids involved, we have
13:19
Speaker 2: two kids. I think the shift for us was when
13:22
Speaker 2: we both decided, you know what, we need to put
13:26
Speaker 2: the kids first, sure and just focus on making.
13:30
Speaker 3: Sure that they're okay, that they're happy.
13:33
Speaker 2: And by virtue of putting them first, it made us
13:37
Speaker 2: be nicer to each other and get along better because
13:39
Speaker 2: we didn't want our kids to see us fighting or angry. Yeah,
13:43
Speaker 2: and so that's what has made it smoother for now,
13:49
Speaker 2: Like you never know, Yeah, things change, but I think
13:52
Speaker 2: for now we're good.
13:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, let us know here this morning, do you have
13:55
Speaker 4: any advice on how to make a divorce go more
13:58
Speaker 4: more smoothly. There might be some listening right now who
14:01
Speaker 4: hears this and goes, oh my god, that's a great idea.
14:04
Speaker 1: Hey, we never thought of this or whatever. So let
14:06
Speaker 1: us know.
14:06
Speaker 4: It's seven oh one two eight zero one to nine
14:08
Speaker 4: eight seven. I've never been divorced, but I have gone
14:11
Speaker 4: through breakups or whatever. Some of them were great, some
14:14
Speaker 4: of them not so great. So I can't, like one
14:16
Speaker 4: hundred percent relate to the divorce thing necessarily, but I
14:19
Speaker 4: know what it's like to, you know, have your heart
14:21
Speaker 4: broken and be broken up with someone, and it's not
14:23
Speaker 4: always the nicest or easiest of separations.
14:27
Speaker 2: Right if you are gabees X, give us a call seven, No,
14:31
Speaker 2: what do ain't one?
14:32
Speaker 3: Nine eight seven? Let us know how he did during
14:34
Speaker 3: the breakup.
14:35
Speaker 4: We do have Joe on the phone, who did give
14:37
Speaker 4: us a call here? Joe, what would you do for
14:39
Speaker 4: a smooth divorce?
14:39
Speaker 1: Man, you're getting divorced for a reason.
14:42
Speaker 2: You're being some sort of disagreement that has gotten out
14:44
Speaker 2: of control.
14:45
Speaker 1: For a smooth divorce, you both.
14:47
Speaker 2: Have to put those disagreements aside and just start working together.
14:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sucks, but that's the only way he's got
14:54
Speaker 1: to be.
14:55
Speaker 2: That's true that we put our disagreements aside once we
14:59
Speaker 2: decided to work on the common goal of having our
15:02
Speaker 2: children be happier.
15:03
Speaker 1: We also have Myra on the phone. For me, it's
15:06
Speaker 1: hanging with the girls.
15:07
Speaker 3: I'm just staying distracted. Plus having a lawyer you can
15:10
Speaker 3: trust to do all the work.
15:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, that pirate. This segment is brought to you by
15:15
Speaker 4: Suits the USA. But what would your advice be seven
15:19
Speaker 4: oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven anyone
15:23
Speaker 4: who has gone through divorce and wishes they would have
15:25
Speaker 4: done this to make it more smooth. Brad Pitt and
15:33
Speaker 4: Angelina Joe Lee have both come out and talked about
15:36
Speaker 4: the worst part of their divorce. Now obviously heartbreaking and
15:38
Speaker 4: all of that, but they both had mentioned, and this
15:41
Speaker 4: is a quote, that one of the worst parts is
15:44
Speaker 4: just it's been a nagging time, suck and a ton
15:49
Speaker 4: of people obviously kind of butting in on their personal lives.
15:52
Speaker 4: So I could get why that would be horrible if
15:55
Speaker 4: you're a celebrity. Now if you're like you and I
15:57
Speaker 4: and just a regular old person.
15:59
Speaker 3: Divorce still hard, Still nightmare.
16:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's still a nightmare. I'm going through a divorce.
16:04
Speaker 2: And we were discussing ways to try and make the
