- 1:32SPEAKER_01: Episode 18 is a Reddit from Reddit, where I take relationship problems, read them back to you, and get them all done before the song ends.
- 1:41SPEAKER_01: Um I like doing this.
- 1:42SPEAKER_01: Uh, this is the second episode I've done.
- 1:44SPEAKER_01: And usually I read about four, three to four of these, four to five of these, depending on what they are.
- 1:50SPEAKER_01: And uh start the music after the music starts.
- 1:52SPEAKER_01: You gotta be done with the response.
- 1:55SPEAKER_01: Without further ado, let's get right into it.
- 1:57SPEAKER_01: Uh, this one is titled I Am Dating a Black Woman and Her Baby Daddy Hates White Men.
- 2:04SPEAKER_01: Interesting enough.
- 2:05SPEAKER_01: Uh this is by Scooter Pie 40.
- 2:08SPEAKER_01: Uh last night after our third date, this woman I'm dating explained to me that her father of her seven-year-old son is going to be pissed off when he finds out that she is dating a white man.
- 2:18SPEAKER_01: When I asked how big of a problem this might be, she said, Oh, there might be a physical, uh, physical altercation about it.
- 2:26SPEAKER_01: On one hand, my first thought is screw it.
- 2:28SPEAKER_01: But then I started thinking about the possibility of how this might have negatively negatively affect her son.
- 2:34SPEAKER_01: Where so early in the relationship that me cutting it off wouldn't be dramatic or anything like that.
- 2:38SPEAKER_01: But I absolutely hate the idea that racism might win here.
- 2:41SPEAKER_01: I'm not sure what to do because I really like this woman and she's wonderful in every way.
- 2:46SPEAKER_01: I'm just not sure what uh sure I want to sign up for this kind of potential drama.
- 2:53SPEAKER_01: Interesting.
- 2:58SPEAKER_01: So what do you do in a situation like this?
- 3:03SPEAKER_01: Well, this is what you do.
- 3:06SPEAKER_01: Alright.
- 3:06SPEAKER_01: Uh she's already put in the possibility that this might happen, right?
- 3:10SPEAKER_01: She's already told you about this, and now got you thinking like this on the on the back burner, right?
- 3:18SPEAKER_01: Here's the thing.
- 3:20SPEAKER_01: Because of this situation, it might be easy for you to do that, but if you show the grit and you, you know, say, hey, look, I love this woman or I like this woman so much that I'm willing to go through this.
- 3:33SPEAKER_01: Uh a lot of us do that anyway.
- 3:35SPEAKER_01: Uh when you want something, you actually go for it.
- 3:39SPEAKER_01: So I say, do it.
- 3:42SPEAKER_01: If this man has an altercation, then that's his problem.
- 3:45SPEAKER_01: You know why?
- 3:46SPEAKER_01: Because he's been down, he's been downgraded to baby daddy.
- 3:49SPEAKER_01: If he really cared about this woman and you really wanted to stay with this woman and stay with this family, he would not be a baby daddy anymore, right?
- 3:58SPEAKER_01: So this is what I say.
- 3:59SPEAKER_01: I say you keep doing what you want to do.
- 4:01SPEAKER_01: If the if she makes you happy enough where you feel like you can you want to fight for this woman and you want to keep this woman, understand that it's about this woman, not about the race of this woman.
- 4:11SPEAKER_01: So you should stay with her.
- 4:14SPEAKER_01: That's my opinion on it.
- 4:16SPEAKER_01: It should be shouldn't be an issue.
- 4:18SPEAKER_01: Now see, I'm I'm I'm staggering on because I thought this would be over, but the song still got another 40 seconds.
- 4:24SPEAKER_01: Um, yeah, you just gotta show this woman that you love her, and if she and she sees that, it's not about race anymore, it's about the relationship.
- 4:32SPEAKER_01: And if he has a problem with it, she's the one that needs to stomp it out and say, look, you had your chance, you chose you chose to do what you did, we're separated.
- 4:40SPEAKER_01: Now I gotta move on.
- 4:43SPEAKER_01: Same for him.
- 4:43SPEAKER_01: He has to move on, and moving on, you already did, because you've been downgraded to baby daddy.
- 4:48SPEAKER_01: I already said that, so I'm just wasting time because I got 13 seconds left in this song, and I thought uh I thought it would be longer than that because last time I knew I'm good.
- 4:56SPEAKER_01: Ha, song's over.
- 5:03SPEAKER_01: Alright, so that was the first one.
- 5:07SPEAKER_01: Crazy.
- 5:09SPEAKER_01: I set myself up a fairy for this one.
- 5:11SPEAKER_01: Here's the next one by more Dragonfly 424.

- 5:23SPEAKER_01: He is more active than I am, and I started playing pickleball last winter.
- 5:29SPEAKER_01: One woman he plays with is a married 64-year-old.

- 5:36SPEAKER_01: She's been taking she's he has taken to walking around our house almost every day.

- 5:43SPEAKER_01: He has always been a huge flirt with me, but he knows how much I hate it.
- 5:48SPEAKER_01: I asked him about the texts and etc.
- 5:51SPEAKER_01: And as usual, he gets furious.
- 5:53SPEAKER_01: I'm too old to start over, but it's it's eating at me up, it's eating me up, and now my trust is gone.

- 7:28SPEAKER_01: This ain't gonna go to the whole song.
- 7:30SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna have to cut this song earlier because that's all I got.
- 7:33SPEAKER_01: You old, he's old.
- 7:34SPEAKER_01: He's having a little fun, flirting.
- 7:36SPEAKER_01: I'm pretty sure.

- 7:39SPEAKER_01: I mean, 7664.
- 7:41SPEAKER_01: Y'all, y'all just old.

- 7:47SPEAKER_01: You're old, just don't worry about it.
- 7:49SPEAKER_01: I'm pretty sure it's harmless.
- 7:51SPEAKER_01: You told him how you should tell him how you feel, and move on.
- 7:54SPEAKER_01: That's it.
- 7:55SPEAKER_01: There is no other explanation.
- 7:57SPEAKER_01: I'm cutting I'm cutting the song short because that's all I got.
- 8:03SPEAKER_01: That's all I got.
- 8:04SPEAKER_01: I don't have anything else other than that.
- 8:07SPEAKER_01: What are you supposed to do at that age?
- 8:09SPEAKER_01: You're not old, he's flirting around, he's probably just having a good he said he did it in the past, but what else are you supposed to do at that age?
- 8:16SPEAKER_01: Just play pick what is pickleball?
- 8:18SPEAKER_01: That's the question.

- 8:23SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 8:24SPEAKER_01: Never played it.
- 8:25SPEAKER_01: Pickle pickleball.
- 8:27SPEAKER_01: Interesting.
- 8:31SPEAKER_01: Alright.
- 8:32SPEAKER_01: Uh let's see.
- 8:33SPEAKER_01: The next one.
- 8:35SPEAKER_01: The next one is uh I didn't get the name.
- 8:42SPEAKER_01: We're moving on.
- 8:44SPEAKER_01: Nope, we did that one.
- 8:46SPEAKER_01: Alright, so the next one is called or by remote concern 7608, titled Not Enough Physical Affection.
- 8:56SPEAKER_01: I love cuddles, and my partner used to give him give me his full attention for at least a little while in bed.
- 9:02SPEAKER_01: He'd hold me, kiss my face, uh rub my back, play with my hair.
- 9:07SPEAKER_01: Now he just kind of rests one arm on me.
- 9:11SPEAKER_01: Uh he won and waits for me to fall asleep so he can look at nude men and women on Reddit.
- 9:16SPEAKER_01: Wait, what?
- 9:17SPEAKER_01: You can you can you can look at what?
- 9:22SPEAKER_01: Okay, uh do some research on that later.
- 9:24SPEAKER_01: We've been together for about a year and I wish I could wish I could make him make him like me like he used to.
- 9:32SPEAKER_01: Same with intimacy.
- 9:33SPEAKER_01: We used to have the wild best cheese, quote unquote, you know what I'm saying?
- 9:40SPEAKER_01: Almost every day, or at least every other day.
- 9:42SPEAKER_01: It was kinky and I did whatever he wanted, which was a lot.
- 9:48SPEAKER_01: It was so fun, I really seemed I really seemed to please him for a little while.
- 9:53SPEAKER_01: Now I feel like if we have cheese once a week.
- 9:58SPEAKER_01: This is a G show.
- 9:59SPEAKER_01: Cheese once a week.
- 10:01SPEAKER_01: I usually initiate it and I'm often turned down when I try.
- 10:06SPEAKER_01: Wow.
- 10:07SPEAKER_01: Uh when we have sex, it says, uh cheese.
- 10:14SPEAKER_01: We have cheese, it isn't like we used to.
- 10:16SPEAKER_01: It's not kinky isn't or as passionate.
- 10:19SPEAKER_01: It seems like a chore he tries to race through, and then I'm left feeling used and unsatisfied.
- 10:24SPEAKER_01: I'm going to talk to him about it about how I feel.
- 10:27SPEAKER_01: I'm just afraid he'll take it the wrong way.
- 10:29SPEAKER_01: How should I approach this without making him angry?
- 10:34SPEAKER_01: That is an interesting topic.
- 10:39SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 10:40SPEAKER_01: So you're asking, how can you do it without him making him angry?
- 10:44SPEAKER_01: Clearly, this is a five love language thing.
- 10:48SPEAKER_01: The five love languages are affirmation, acts of service, gifts, quality time, and physical touch.
- 10:56SPEAKER_01: Okay, so with that being said, remote concern 7608, it seems like you like physical touch, but your partner might not.
- 11:06SPEAKER_01: So, what do you want to do?
- 11:08SPEAKER_01: Let's let's let's let's hit a couple things.
- 11:10SPEAKER_01: One, how about changing things up?
- 11:14SPEAKER_01: It seems like you did a lot of uh a lot of things to do this, like you were being the aggressor or something like that.
- 11:23SPEAKER_01: Switch roles, see if he could do it, dress up, role play, um kinky stuff, bondages, whatever.
- 11:36SPEAKER_01: Maybe those things are what excite him.
- 11:38SPEAKER_01: Or without getting him angry, hey, say, hey, why don't you feel this uh this love language quiz?
- 11:44SPEAKER_01: They're all over online.
- 11:46SPEAKER_01: Find out what he likes as when it comes to the five love languages.
- 11:51SPEAKER_01: Do that.
- 11:51SPEAKER_01: That's a good way to say, see exactly what he is all about because it's clearly not physical touch.
- 11:58SPEAKER_00: But you are you you are funny.
- 12:03SPEAKER_00: Maybe I don't know.
- 12:05SPEAKER_00: This is a shot in the dark.
- 12:07SPEAKER_01: Maybe maybe he's gay.
- 12:10SPEAKER_01: You know, he doesn't say what do you say?
- 12:12SPEAKER_01: He turns it down, uh, he tries to rush through it, and you feel uh used and unsatisfied.
- 12:22SPEAKER_01: I don't know man, I don't know that many men that wants to rush through it, and or it turns it down.
- 12:29SPEAKER_01: That that's a that's a that's a mark that's a that's a what you call it, red flag?
- 12:33SPEAKER_01: We'll call this a yellow flag because it's not that extreme.
- 12:36SPEAKER_01: But do that, take the quiz.
- 12:39SPEAKER_01: Bing! Got it right on time.
- 12:43SPEAKER_01: That was perfect.
- 12:44SPEAKER_01: That uh now I'm not ready yet.
- 12:48SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
- 12:49SPEAKER_01: So, yeah.
- 12:50SPEAKER_01: Give him the quiz.
- 12:51SPEAKER_01: Have him take the quiz and see if he takes the quiz, and maybe you'll find out maybe what his love language is.
- 13:00SPEAKER_01: Alright.
- 13:02SPEAKER_01: Last one.
- 13:02SPEAKER_01: This is uh oh my god.
- 13:05SPEAKER_01: What did these names come up with?
- 13:06SPEAKER_01: This is from Poop Skittles.
- 13:11SPEAKER_01: When you say when you get names like that, you probably think these stories are not true at all.
- 13:15SPEAKER_01: But Poop Skittles goes on to say, my wife spoke to another dude for five hours last night and seemed kinda shady.
- 13:24SPEAKER_01: He goes on.
- 13:25SPEAKER_01: I've always thought my wife and I had a good relationship.
- 13:28SPEAKER_01: However, something happened last night that caused me to question her loyalty to me.
- 13:32SPEAKER_01: She had a quote unquote old friend call about 5 p.m.
- 13:36SPEAKER_01: She and him spoke for about five hours.
- 13:39SPEAKER_01: She walked away a while, we were hanging she walked away while we were hanging out and spoke privately to him outside.
- 13:45SPEAKER_01: I try not to get jealous, but her speaking to a man in private for so long seemed a little weird.
- 13:50SPEAKER_01: She has been open about the details, but I feel she may not be she may not be being honest with me.
- 13:58SPEAKER_01: See, that's a bad structure.
- 14:00SPEAKER_01: I feel a bit dejected, so in the so I end up sleeping in the guest bedroom.
- 14:05SPEAKER_01: I feel I may be overreacting.
- 14:07SPEAKER_01: My wife, as far as I know, never been unfaithful.
- 14:13SPEAKER_01: That's interesting.
- 14:18SPEAKER_01: So let's go back, let's go repeat what you said.
- 14:22SPEAKER_01: Your new wife has a you have a good relationship.
- 14:25SPEAKER_01: She has uh she's been talking to a quote unquote old friend.
- 14:30SPEAKER_01: So you it feels like you knew about this, like you knew that this person is an old friend of hers, and you don't know the details of the conversation like privately.
- 14:42SPEAKER_01: This might be an old friend from the Oski Wolski that you know that they haven't talked in a while, and he's unloading a whole bunch of information on her, and they might have that connection like that, right?
- 14:53SPEAKER_01: But it seems like, like you said yourself, you may be overreacting.
- 14:59SPEAKER_01: You felt dejected, you ended up sleeping in the in the guest bedroom.
- 15:03SPEAKER_01: Did she even check on you?
- 15:04SPEAKER_01: You see him say, oh babe, what's wrong with you?
- 15:07SPEAKER_01: Why are you sleeping in the guest bedroom?
- 15:09SPEAKER_01: But she probably let your bus sit in there and marinate on this because you were overreacting.
- 15:14SPEAKER_01: Like you said, she has never shown any signs of unfaithfulness, so why would you take this conversation so seriously?
- 15:21SPEAKER_01: Uh, but there's some things you need to take in taking notice too, like how many times has this guy called?
- 15:27SPEAKER_01: Uh, has this guy ever been talked about beforehand?
- 15:31SPEAKER_01: Do you do you know this person?
- 15:34SPEAKER_01: Or have you met this person?
- 15:35SPEAKER_01: See, it's clear that you're jumping to conclusions.
- 15:39SPEAKER_01: And uh thing you need to chill.
- 15:41SPEAKER_01: Just chill out.
- 15:42SPEAKER_01: You're definitely overreacting, and chill.
- 15:46SPEAKER_01: Stop.
- 15:47SPEAKER_01: Stop it.
- 15:47SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm not gonna make this song either.
- 15:49SPEAKER_01: I still got another what 29, 30 seconds.
- 15:55SPEAKER_01: This is the end.
- 15:56SPEAKER_01: I'm ending this right now.
- 15:57SPEAKER_01: He's overreacting.
- 15:59SPEAKER_01: Clearly.
- 16:02SPEAKER_01: So that's that.
- 16:04SPEAKER_01: That is all the topics I'm hitting today for the Reddit on Reddit.
- 16:08SPEAKER_01: Number two, people be overreacting.
- 16:10SPEAKER_01: Like, you know what?
- 16:11SPEAKER_01: I think the next time I do a Reddit on Reddit, no, they wouldn't be the same topic.
- 16:16SPEAKER_01: That wouldn't make sense.
- 16:17SPEAKER_01: Without well, but we're gonna close this one because we're gonna use this for when I go on vacation next week.
- 16:23SPEAKER_01: But there will be an episode because that's what I'm doing.
- 16:25SPEAKER_01: I'm recording my episodes ahead of a time, and that concludes the show.
- 16:31SPEAKER_01: As always, guys, thank you for listening to the WDYM What Do You Mean podcast?
- 16:35SPEAKER_01: I'm your host, Michael Glusby, and I'm out, Boy Scout.
- 16:40SPEAKER_01: Peace.
