• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Nice hand soap, real toilet paper, no clothes on the floor,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: wine glasses that aren't stolen from a bar.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Clean sheets is a big one.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: A stocked fridge.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 0:13
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: It means, like, you know, this guy's taking some time.
• 0:17
  Speaker 5: It's a little on the extreme side. You've got to
• 0:20
  Speaker 5: figure a single guy. I mean, he can get some
• 0:22
  Speaker 5: of those.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe not the stocked fridge, but at least
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: washer sheets. I mean that's like the bare minimum.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Well, that's a big thing even with adult guys. If
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: they're living alone.
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: When I was single, I washed them maybe once a month.
• 0:38
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Well, you were in a different era of yours then.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Well, no.
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: Even so, I had a room in a rooming house
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: and I just didn't wash them that much. I didn't
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: think about it.
• 0:48
  Speaker 7: But if you were living alone right now, you would
• 0:51
  Speaker 7: wash your sheets more frequently than once a month.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Maybe three weeks.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Would you have a lot of dishes in the sink
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: if you were living by yourself?
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: I don't like dishes in the sink.
• 0:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: So then that's good.
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: So that would be the one.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: Green flags.
• 1:03
  Speaker 6: Geez, if I saw any of this stuff when I
• 1:05
  Speaker 6: was dating, I'd be afraid they were gay.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Okay. Yeah, this is Jamie calling from beautiful Bath, Maine.
• 1:11
  Speaker 8: Sorry.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: I'd have my gaydar open.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: That's not green flags.
• 1:15
  Speaker 8: Those would be red flags.
• 1:16
  Speaker 7: Okay, that's the second straight talkback that accused me of
• 1:19
  Speaker 7: being gay.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Not that there's anything wrong with that. I mean, I
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: agree partially.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: All right, well, what do the gays say?
• 1:26
  Speaker 9: Good morning, it's Andy from the Cape. As a gay man,
• 1:29
  Speaker 9: I want to chime in on the green flags. It's
• 1:32
  Speaker 9: not a foot fetish thing like Billy has. However, you
• 1:35
  Speaker 9: have to have nice toenails. Clean, cut, like, it's just disgusting.
• 1:41
  Speaker 9: Straight or gay men, it's not hard to control.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you can't control if you have.
• 1:46
  Speaker 9: funky shaped feet but you can control the nails on
• 1:48
  Speaker 9: those funky shaped feet just.
• 1:50
  Speaker 7: Saying yeah that's a little more intimate it may not
• 1:53
  Speaker 7: you may not get to see the feet on the
• 1:54
  Speaker 7: first date when you're looking for the green.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: Flag but uh that's two different things right if if
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: they have feet that they're born with that maybe aren't
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: that attractive you can't do much about that but you
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: can do you know much about the toenails.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah i said just keep them you know neat neat and.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Clean the clippers are for.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: Yep yep don't eat them No.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: That would be a red flag if they roamed your
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: place and saw a jar full of clipped toenails.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: That would be really– that would be a big red flag.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Just move on.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: This green flag list is on point. My boss is single,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: and he has all of these checked off on that list.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: He's such a catch, great guy, and I'm kind of
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: sad that he's still single because– Yeah, any woman would
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: be lucky to have him. And I'm a nanny, so
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: that's why I know about all this stuff.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: Oh, she gets an inside look.
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, she's giving a shout-out to her boss, the guy
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: she nannies for.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Good for her.
• 2:58
  Speaker 8: There is no way any single man is going to
• 3:01
  Speaker 8: hit the mark on all of those. When I met
• 3:04
  Speaker 8: my husband 20-something years ago, he didn't even know what
• 3:07
  Speaker 8: bread count was.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: He didn't know what what was?
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Bread count.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. I'm not big on thread count.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't either.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think people know. I mean, on this list,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: it just means clean. There's no thread count on this list.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with the clean sheet thing.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: What's a good thread count? Like what number you think?
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, don't they have 1,000 thread counts?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: They do. Yeah, you can go way up. The higher
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the number, the better the sheet, the softer.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Do you notice a difference?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: You do.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: In the higher thread counts?
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: You do.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: You do.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I will say, though, you know what I like in
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: the colder weather? Flannel sheets.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, those are very cozy.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, God, is that nice. You climb in.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Yep, very cozy.
• 3:52
  Speaker 8: Green flags. How he treats his family and friends. There's
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: always exceptions. Some families stink. But how he treats his parents,
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: his nieces and nephew, does he have a good job,
• 4:07
  Speaker 8: how he spends his money or saves his money, much
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: more important.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Well, that's a different kind of list right there.
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: That's a whole different list.
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: But, you know, good point.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: A job is a good starting point.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some basics.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: A license.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: It's a first date and they say, well, I don't
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: have a license.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: Didn't you on a first date have to say your
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: license was in police custody?
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: I didn't have a license. I lost my license before
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: I could get my license. When I was 16, they
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: took my license before I got it. So I didn't
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: have it for like 10 years.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: That long?
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so I was always the guy that needed a ride.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Hop in. If there was a girl that was willing
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: to go out with me, she'd have to pick me up.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Then you know it's love.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Did you ever drive without it?
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Pretty much every day.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Of course you did.
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: There is no way any single man is going to
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: hit the mark on all of those. When I met
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: my husband 20-something years ago, he didn't even know what
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: Thread Count was.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, I just played that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We're
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: off Thread Count now.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: We're looking at a lot here. Jeez, God.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: I just want to say that I'm dating the most
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: perfect man in the world, and he has all green flags.
• 5:14
  Speaker 8: Hi, Matt Draper.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, a shout-out and everything there.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I think that, to Producer Riley's point earlier, that it
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: depends on the age of the guy, definitely. I think
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a younger guy may have two on this list, right?
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Where an older guy might not. I mean, might. I
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: feel like one that's not on the list that I
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: would look for is a maid bed. I feel like
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: that shows.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: That you get up in the morning and you're like,
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: But stuff that's on the list for a younger person,
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: the candles, the hand soap, that doesn't matter as much.
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: The picking stuff up off the floor, that's a big one.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I like when people are able to do their own chores.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: I dated a guy who had his mom do his laundry.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I always thought that was a little bit weird.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: He's got to do his own laundry. And then the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: dishes in the sink I think are a big one.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: I agree on the maid bed.
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: Like if I'm dating and I go over there for
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: the first time and it's not– and I'm not getting in.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Well, they say that that's just a really good routine
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: builder just for anyone to get up and make your bed.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Well, especially if it gets to that moment. where you
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: would make your way to the bed.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: It's just unmade. Hey, you coming to bed?
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: Not until you make that thing.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: I'll be out here having a glass of wine while
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: someone makes the bed.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: You figure that out in there.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Make sure you tuck those sheets in.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Happy Friday.
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: This is Kim. Hey, what you guys are calling green
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: flags are actually red flags to some of us. Dated
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: a guy for four years.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's my ex.
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: First night looking in the refrigerator, everything perfectly, all the
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: water bottles facing the same way with the labels, everything
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: in perfect lines, his drawers, the socks, the underwear is
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: folded perfectly. I felt like I was in Bloomingdale's.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: No, it's a nightmare.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: It's like trying to keep up with someone like that
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: is exhausting. Red flag, not green.
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: I do that, you know, with the bottles, whether it's a,
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: Beer cans, beer bottles, wine bottles, anything in the refrigerator,
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: every so often during the day I go in and
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: I have to spin them half around to make sure
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: the labels are all matched.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Well, you do it here in the kitchen too. Everything
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: has to be lined up.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: My morning ritual.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: You want to know a secret, Lisa? So if I
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: get here before Billy, sometimes I do. I mess them
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: all up on purpose.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: No, I knew you did that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. I do the same thing.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mess with them.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I just mess with you.
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: And I've been totally aware that one or the both
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: of you have done it, and I'm okay.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: With it because it relaxes me to straighten them out.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're giving you something to do.
• 7:42
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: I turn them all around every which way, and Billy
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: comes ready to get his coffee, and right away he
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: just fixes them.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: You put them on other shelves, and I'm like, okay.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: What a list here.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: God.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: This is the mayor of the South Bend. I have
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: all 11 of those green flags.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: So that means that they're gay or they're secretly gay.
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: Woo!
