I Can't Find the Perfect Woman for Me feat. Stephen Baldwin · Therapy Thursday with Ellen K

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Listen, Jethro, I'm 60 years old. I'm with the same
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: gal since we're 19. And some of the best things
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: about what's happened to us in our relationship is the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: learning curve. She's probably not as perfect now as she
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: was before, but that dynamic causes me to have to change.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Stephen Baldwin is here with us on the Therapy Thursday podcast. Welcome, Stephen.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Thanks for making us laugh.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm having a good time. 30th anniversary of Biodome. Yes,
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: this year.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Pauly Shore, ladies and gentlemen. The fabulous Pauly Shore. We're
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: trying to work out a sequel.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Because what happened was we did Biodome, and that was MGM.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: And there was a lawsuit against the library of MGM,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: so we couldn't do a sequel. Amazon. Thank you, Dr. Bezos.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: We love you, daddy. Yes. He buys it.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: And now he owns, you know, James Bond 007 and
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: he owns. So now we're back talking about whether or
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: not there could be a Biodome 2 sequel. There must.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: But I just got to figure out if I want
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to do it because Pauly's gnarly. I mean, you talk
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: about Tori being naughty.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Pauly's naughty.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: My claim to fame, one of them.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: You dated Pauly Shore?
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I did not date him. I was chased hard by him,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: and he would come to me, and he would say,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: come on, let me wheeze you. He was the wheezer.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Let me wheeze.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Can I wheeze you? Don't you want to wheeze?
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Was that his word?
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I could make so many jokes right now between wheeze
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: and wheeze, and I'm going to leave it alone. I'm
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: just leaving it.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: He's the wheezer.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Remember, he's the weasel. He's the weasel.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: The weasel. And then he'd go.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Remember?
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's crazy.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he chased me, but he was my thing.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: You should consider him now.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: No, I'm married now. I have to be married. Pre-marriage days.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: All right, amen. But yeah, The Weasel. Gotta behave.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let me wheeze ya. Wheeze the juice in Encino Man.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: What a great film.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: In the Army now. Yes. But his stand-up stuff now
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: is really good. He's really crazy. But he's good with
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the audience. You know, in the improv thing with stand-up,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to really know what you're doing.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And Paulie's mental.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: So is this a yes or a no for Biodome 2?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I would do it. Yeah. You know, but it's just
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: like Paul Corvino. Over here at IHART, he wants to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: maybe bring my one bad movie over here. I said, Paulie,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you've got to write me a check down.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I need the.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Cash order for the Brazilian wife.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Can people come see you? Do you do stuff out
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: where people can come say hi to you?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Yes. So I won't get into how I know Paul Corvino,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: but we did a movie a long time ago called
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Shelter Island that was a little naughty in its own right.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: We'll just leave that right here.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And I'm getting ready in September 17th around there in
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: New Jersey. There's something coming up, a big con called
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Paisan Con.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, I love it already.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: And it's all the mafioso actors from Sopranos and The Godfather.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And I did a movie called One Tough Cop with
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Chris Penn where I played this guy, the real Bo Deedle.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: This guy in New York. And he had like mafia affiliations.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So I'm basically an honorary Paisan, and they've invited me
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: to come to this con, and I'm really looking forward
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to Paisan Con.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: That is awesome.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: Very cool.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Is this the first of its kind?
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: No, it's been going on, but this is the biggest
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: one this year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it's not just
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: a con where you sit and you sign and meet
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: people and take pictures. they're going to have like big
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: interviews and podcasts and entertainment. And it's, this year is
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the first time they're doing a Sopranos reunion.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my God. Are you going to do one bad
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: movie from Paisan Con?
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to him about it.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: That'd be cool.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Like that would be amazing.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's going to be fun.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Very excited.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Oh my God. I love that.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Do you find it hard to get people to admit
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: that they have had a stinker? Like, like, is it tough?
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: No.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: No.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: That's why the show's doing so great because, It's like
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I said, when I talked to Tori the first episode,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I said, hey, you know, blah, blah, blah, what's your
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: one bad movie? And I had looked at some of
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: her films, but the one she picked was not the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: one you expected. So that's the fun of the conversation. Interesting.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: If you look up on their IMDb, you can see
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: some like, you know, just from the poster, you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: it's not good. But, you know, in developing the show...
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I've done over 100 features in 40 years. So the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: fun part was with my producing team, I'm like, well, yeah,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and this will be cool because, you know, the first
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: couple episodes I could talk about my, I don't know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I really didn't count. I would imagine I have about
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: seven bad movies. These guys were like, already did the rest.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: They're like, 23 of your 100 are just awful.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: But wouldn't that be an average step for every actor?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? That's not even 25%. Well,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I think there's more, but still, it's a bad number.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, I'm trying to look at the bottom of
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the side. But it's the fun we're having is watching
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the interviewee kind of let their hair down and talk
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: about their bad movie because then they're not giving that
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: usual response.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: So I'm just having a blast with it. And I
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: get to interview people that I think are fabulous.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Is Hugh Jackman going to come on?
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think he's going to
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: talk about his bad movies at this point. He's Wolverine, man.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: He's doing okay. That's right. He's doing great.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: You want to call Jethro?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to call Jethro. Jethro doesn't know you're here,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Stephen Baldwin, but Jethro is calling for some therapy with
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Sarah Nash.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Please. Wise man.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Jethro's got a little bit of a problem with dating.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: He has a lot of rules.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, Jethro. It's Therapy Thursday. Yeah, we're good. We're here
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: with Sarah Dash.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Hey, Jethro.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: And we have a special surprise for you. Stephen Baldwin
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: is here to help you with your troubles. He's going
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: to tackle your troubles along with Sarah.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Fire away, Jethro.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Well, I guess basically I'm at my wit's end. I'm
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: just like, tired of dating basically.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: What's going on?
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: I just feel like everyone out here is wasting my time.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: You know, um, I, I want to get married. I'm
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: 44 years old and it's time, you know, but you know,
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: finding the right girls is difficult. Um, and you know,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: some of my friends make fun of me for it.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: I don't really get why they do that. I mean,
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: you wouldn't buy a house without knowing what you want.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: You know, why, why, choosing your life partner should be
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: any different than that, you know? Um, and I guess
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: I feel like, I don't feel like this is a
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: lot to ask for in a partner, but I want
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: someone who's got a stable career, you know, makes good money,
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: wants children, you know, close with family, owns a home,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: or at least, you know, is on, um, the path
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: to owning a home, you know, someone who likes to travel,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: just financially responsible, um, No crazy ex-boyfriend drama because I've
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: dealt with that before. And I've got like, you know,
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: kind of a set of smaller kind of prerequisites.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: You know, she's more than 10 minutes late to a
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: first date without texting. There's no second date. You know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: she orders too many drinks. I'm not going out with
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: her again. And, you know, and I always ask myself
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: one question at the end of the night. Can I
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: can I picture myself walking down the aisle with this woman?
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: And if I can't, then I'm done right there. And
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: my friends, they get on my case all the time.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: They're like, this is why you're single. This stuff right
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: here is why you're single. I went out with a
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: lady last week. She was really smart, successful, funny, attractive.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: And we had a good time, but I declined going
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: on a second date with her because she's not tall
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: enough for me. I want a girl who's 5'10 and up.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: So my buddies are pissed off. They're, you know, they
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: think I eliminated a good one.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: A good candidate.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I have a question, Jethro. My first question is, have
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: you ever thought about marrying a robot? I think you'd
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: solve all your issues.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, Jethro.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: No. I'm teasing you, brother. You know what? She's out there.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: You've got to keep believing. Go ahead, Sarah.
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: I mean, Jethro, I don't know if the question is
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: so much about you finding love, finding a wife. It's
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: more about you finding someone who meets your requirements. And
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: that's a little bit of a different question.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: I kind of want to talk about the 5'10.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Why 5'10?
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: Specifically.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: I just don't want to date shorter girls. But I
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: got to like, you know, I just, I don't know.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: It's weird.
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: I guess the reason why, yeah, it is. That's the
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: thing is it's a preference. It's not a non-negotiable. And
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: I think when we're talking about, you know, what we're
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: looking for, we have preferences and then we have non-negotiables.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: And I hear that you're making that preference into a non-negotiable.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: It's also a pretty rare physical trait.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: So you're reducing your potential dating pool significantly before you've
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: even gotten to the things that probably matter to you
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: a little bit more.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Put her in some heels, Jethro. You know what I'm saying?
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: It's easy.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: I could maybe bend on that rule a little bit.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the being late. Ten minutes late, there's
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: not a second date. What if there was traffic or
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: something unforeseeable?
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: And she left her phone and couldn't get in touch
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: with you.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: I would go on a case by case basis with that. But,
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: you know, I just feel like it's disrespectful. I would
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: never to anybody, not even just for a date. But
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: if I was running late, I'm letting somebody know.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I have another question, Jethro. Does the same apply for you?
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: I love that.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, it does. So then you're never late and
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: you're 5'11. I'm playing devil's advocate here just because I'm
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: curious about your response.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: You're a homeowner.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: I walk the walk. I mean, if I'm going to
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: be more than 10 minutes late, I'm definitely texting. If
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: I'm five minutes late, I'm texting. I'm just letting whoever
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: knows know that their time is valuable.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: And the other requirements in terms of home ownership, no
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: crazy ex, all that kind of stuff, you're a homeowner?
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: I am, yeah.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, good.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: So you are offering what you are demanding.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I want a little playing field. I don't feel
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: like that's a lot to ask for.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I can tell you right now, Jethro, if we were
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: going to date, I'd need flood insurance, babe. I'd need
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: some flood insurance. You don't have flood insurance. I don't
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: care what kind of home you have.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: What do you do for fun, Jethro? I'm just curious.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: What brings you joy?
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: I'm getting, and I do not mean this to be offensive.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I really don't.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: I just feel like maybe you're taking some joy off
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: the table by closing yourself off.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: I'm a bit of a recluse. I read a lot, and.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Bit of a cinephile. So like, you know, like good
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: movies and stuff like that.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Stephen Baldwin has a hundred of those.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: 76.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: What about video games? What about you play videos?
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Do you spend time on the internet at all? Oh, sure.
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Reasonable amount.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Do you go to special places at all?
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not going to say I never have,
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: but it's not like a chronic or anything.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: I think I know.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: This is it. Throwing it over to Sarah.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Jethro, you've had your heart broken, and now you're afraid.
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: You know, I think Ellen makes a huge point, and
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: I wonder if you're looking for compatibility, or are you
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: looking to kind of create a scenario where you can
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: never be vulnerable?
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: I think you're scared because I think someone really crushed you.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Well, we've all been there, you know, but no, I just,
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: for me, I just look at it as I don't
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: want to lower my standards. That's level playing field is
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: really important for me.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I just want, listen, Jethro, I'm with this. I'm 60
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: years old. I'm with the same gal since we're 19.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: And some of the best things about what's happened to
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: us in our relationship is the learning curve. She's probably
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: not as perfect now as she was before, but that
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: dynamic causes me to have to change. If I really
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: want to hang on and have a marriage that's meaningful
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: and passionate, listen, sometimes she ticks me off, but sometimes
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I'm a total jerk. And, you know, you're going to
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: miss out on a lot if you try to make
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: it perfect from the beginning. Yeah.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Such a good point.
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think about the question that you're asking
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: yourself at the end of this date. Can I walk
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: down the aisle? And I don't really think that's the
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: right question to be acting, asking after a first date.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: I mean, first date.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: Question is really, would I like to get to know
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: this person better?
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: It's not necessarily walking down the aisle because if you're
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: eliminating people so quickly, the chances of you walking down
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: the aisle are limited.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Very good.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: I see your point. Yeah.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Where are you meeting these people?
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Usually, like, you know, just dating apps.
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: Apps.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: The apps. Okay. All right.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Have you ever tried to just meet a person in person?
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, that's happened too, just, you know, grocery, the gym.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: That's always fun.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not, like, I don't, it's, for me, dating
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: apps are just a tool in a toolbox. You know,
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: I'm not, I don't rely on them, but.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Well, how would you.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: We are there.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Steven and or Sarah or Ellen, like, what would you
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: recommend he do now to, I don't know, I don't
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: want to say fix it because it doesn't sound like
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: to him it's broken. How do you, what do you do? Like,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: how do you even, what's your next step?
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: I think he needs to reframe what dating is. That
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: dating is about getting to know somebody. It's not an
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: elimination test.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I'd just get a puppy. Because usually great gals love puppies.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: That's true. Okay, Jethro, fair with you. I'd get a
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: cute little, you know, Pomeranian. They all love Pomeranian.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: I have been thinking about it.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Excellent suggestion, Stephen.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Thank you. And that's a really good path for you
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: to follow, Jethro. Just get the puppy. Maybe the puppy
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: will take you out of your mind.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: See, you haven't been to the dog park, bro. That's
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: a possibility.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: I think you're onto something.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Love it.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I have a friend who rescued a dog, and he
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: met the love of his life at the rescue.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: What a sweet story. It was like you with your wife, Stephen. Thunderbolts.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: And that was it. And they were both, they're both,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: you know, rescuing dogs and their dogs were somehow related
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: and they had a kid together and they're so happy.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: And it was all because he was lonely and he
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: wanted to have a doggy companion. And then he met
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: the love of his life.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: It's a really sweet story.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: That's an interesting word though, too. Jethro, are you lonely?
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: No, I wouldn't say I'm lonely. I've got a good
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: support network, friends, family.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Okay. But you don't have a puppy.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: No, no, I don't. But I have really seriously been
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: thinking about getting one recently. I love it. Kind of
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: funny that you mentioned that.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dogs are fabulous.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: I try to take a little of the pressure off.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: I mean, you've got this urgency mixed with this really
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: high standards. And I think it's kind of messing you
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: up a little bit. I think you're really anxious about
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: a process that should be joyful and exciting.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Yes. But Jethro, if you get the dog, if you
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: get the dog and you go to the dog park
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: and you see the love of your life there and
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: she has a Great Dane, she's not the one.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: All right. If it's a Great Dane, run. Okay.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Well, we want happiness for you, I think, ultimately, you know,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: for everybody. Yeah, of course.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: No, I appreciate it. And one of you said something
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: that I'm going to try to work on. Instead of
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: thinking about could I see myself walking down the aisle,
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: I'm going to try and start asking myself, do I
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: want to get to know this person?
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: That was our professional, Sarah Dash. She's a licensed therapist,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: unlike Stephen Baldwin.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: Who I think should be a licensed therapist after this.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Who out of 100 movies has 27 really bad ones.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Just so you know. Hey, man.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Usual Suspects is the greatest heist film of all time,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: and it'll never be done.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. What a delightful day that you
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: were surprised by Stephen Baldwin.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: It's kind of surreal.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: He has a podcast, too. It's called One Bad Movie,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: so you know what that's about.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: Okay. All right.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Well, Jethro, I think you sound like a lot of fun.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I think that if you, if you relax and do
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: what Sarah did, just why don't, why don't go make
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: friends that are females?
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: I have female friends.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Okay. Do they, can they, do they, can they coach
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: you a little better? You know, I think listening to females, dude, no,
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: I'm serious. Listening to females about, about this topic is
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: your best friend.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Well, I have a question. Is there any one of
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: your just plain old female friends that you could think, huh,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I wonder if we took it to the next level,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: what that might be like?
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's crossed my mind before, but I have
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: a really, I think, good habit of once I make
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: a really good friend with a female, I don't like to,
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: no matter how good looking she is, I don't like
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: to mess, I don't like to mess that up. And
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: if I feel like it's like a genuine friendship, I'm like, no,
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: I'm going to leave it right here.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: But it's not unusual, Jeffro, that friends at some point go, hey,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: wait a second.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: What's marriage all about? If your wife can't be your
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: best friend.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Et cetera, et cetera. So listen, you do your thing, homie.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: If I were you, I'd get out to the dog
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: park as ASAP. But that's just something to think about,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: pray about, whatever. Just is there a gal that, hmm,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: she's a homeowner, she's 5'10, and she's just a friend,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: but gee whiz, I wonder.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you this. Having Stephen Baldwin say, you
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: do you, homie, is the highlight.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Of my year. Yes.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Good luck, Jeff. My pleasure.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Thank you, buddy.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Good luck. Thank you, guys. Thank you.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Why do we do that to ourselves, right? Yeah, that's right.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. Because other things cause the things
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: that we do to ourselves.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: But it's also the culture right now.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: What is the culture?
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I just think L.A., you know, now. But all
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: of America now is an app. You know, everything is
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: on your phone and you're scrolling. And if you're not
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: satisfied in 20 seconds, it kind of changes your thinking.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: It's a maximizer culture.
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: Not a, it's called like a satisficer where somebody meets
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: what you're looking for. The maximizer is always looking for
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: that person that's just a little closer to the fantasy.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Right. Or perfection. Exactly.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: It's perfection.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: We tried to get Ryan on dating apps and he
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: wouldn't do it.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: I downloaded Bumble once. I didn't even sign up for it.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: I just deleted it off my phone. I couldn't do it.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't do it.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: I can't do it. And you're single?
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: No.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: You're married.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: I'm not married. I'm in a relationship, but I didn't
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: meet on an app.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Okay. I wouldn't do it. Dog park? Dog park, no.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: No, that's not for me.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: That's cool. Where'd you meet her?
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: That's a long story, actor Stephen Baldwin.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but let's put the spotlight on you, homie. Just
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: for a second. How did I meet? Was it a Starbucks?
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I met here.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: We met here. There was a feature that was being
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: done on someone in her family and we've hit it off.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's sweet though.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: That's cool.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: There's a lot to untangle there.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: She was in a marriage at the time.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything. But that's cool. It's okay. Okay.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: You're in love? Yes. Majorly. You go, homie.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: And I'll bet this. Never been happier.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Don't screw it up. I'm not. All right.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: I can't.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I won't.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: I refuse to.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Amen. Oh, I'm sweating.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Are we going to be editing this out?
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: It's up to anyone else.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: He's got a bunch of questions for everyone else.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: Doesn't he? Are we done here?
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Ask Stephen.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: All right. Thank you, Stephen Baldwin. I'm good. Thank you.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: That was the best part of the show.
