  Speaker 3: so I will say that I'm like a grandma, drive
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: really slow. However, I don't fully stop at stop signs.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: I kind of just like roll through, roll through, but
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I go slow. I'm going slow. I'm not like speeding
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: through like I'm still going slow. I'm just like slowly
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: approaching and then slowly I'm off and then up the
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: canyons with these like windy kind of like these windy roads,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: and I don't really stay on my side, I just
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: like take up the whole whole road because I've never
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: seen any other cars coming around. And he was like, Babe,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: if there was another car coming around the corner, like
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: that would be so bad. And I was like, you're right, yeah,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: it would be it'd be bad. But I haven't seen whatever.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: And driving these streets since nine to nine.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Let's just start trying to stay within the lines that
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: are there for a reason.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Line they don't have lines on them. They're lineless.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: What road are you talking about?
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Random roads? They're lineless because they're small. There's small roads, okay,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: so like they're lineless.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Residential streets often will not what you're saying.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's see residentially, I'm not like going down Hollywood.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Boulevard, Okay, I personally so I too, am the driver
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: of our relationship. Haley is very much the passenger princess.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: And it's not because she doesn't want to drive. It's
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: because I'm like, absolutely not because and I'm not kidding,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Like nine times out of ten we will bicker because
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: she will do something and she'll be like, babe, I
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: swear because I'll go I'm a bad backseat driver too.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: So it's a bad combo because she'll miss not like
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: not see someone has their brakes on and slam on
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: her brakes. Or she'll be staring at me and I'm like,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: can you look at the road, and she is so beautiful,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I get distracted. I'm like, well then I need to
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: be driving. So that's our role. You know, you're so
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: scary to ride in the car with.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: Why You'll just be like let me replay this song
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: and like fusing with your phone and I'm like, we're
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: going down literally the canyons, like zooming.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I don't consider you a slow driver, actually really I
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: don't think so. Really, I think I'm always quite scared
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: of how erratic and past we're going.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: That's crazy. That is like a long day because I
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: drive very slow.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Well I don't maybe it's slow and erratic either way.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I always am thinking if if it's my choice, if
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I'm writing in the car with Tanya, I'm going to
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: offer to drive, never not offering to drive.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Well, it's all been noted, and I'm gonna start taking
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: driving lessons because I think.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I think there's some things that you can correct without
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: needing lessons. Though I think it's.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Stopping at a stop sign.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: You can do that, staying on one side of the road,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: doabole going to speed limit.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I do want to speed limit.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I drive in my FLD slowly on the freeway, but
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: that's also dangerous. Why are you going too slow on
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the freeway. You're too slow?
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Please please, please, please respect. I have some respect on
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: my name.

  Speaker 3: Why is this girl looking at me so weird?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Dear Bonya, shall we from anonymous fellow scrubbing in crew.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: My first time writing in because I genuinely don't know
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: what to do or who to talk to about this.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I'm three months postpartum after my second child, going back
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: to where and I decided to join my work indoor
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: soccer team because I played soccer in high school. I
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: was nervous and I felt vulnerable because my first time
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: doing something this active since the baby, and my body
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: is different now. I had my husband coming. He bought
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: my two year old daughter and newborn's son. I was
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: out of shape, but I felt proud of myself. I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: could hear my two year old cheer for me from
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the stands. On the way home, my husband told me
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: he heard a woman say that if I was just
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: coming back from a baby. Maybe I should have joined
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: a less competitive team. What is she doing here? Anyway?
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: He told me this because he said it made it
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: mad and he wanted to defend me. Ultimately, though, his
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: telling me this story made me sad. I started to cry. First,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: it's supposed to be a fun work league. It's not
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: supposed to be competitive. Second, I was so nervous, and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that's so I confirmed my fears and I felt dumb
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: going to play. I was proud and happy my kid
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: could see me out there, but it felt like that
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: all want us the window. After hearing that story, I
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: need advice I want to do next. My work wants
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: me to come play, and my husband's trying to tell
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: me don't. With some other people still play, it's easier
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: said than done. Do I tell anyone about this comment
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: that was said. I'd love to keep playing soccer in
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: front of my daughter, who cheered for me, but I'm
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: having a hard time putting myself in a vulnerable position again.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Any thoughts and advice are welcomed. Thank you for being
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: a space Wherecord write down my thoughts and feelings. Even
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: if you don't read this on the podcast.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Well that you show up every single week this leak
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: because you know what you I have. I can say
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: this because I recently like just sort of playing in
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: the back and it's not even a league, the basketball
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: thing I'm playing. It's just like a pickup basketball game.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Going and doing something like that new with people that
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: you don't know very well or only know on like
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: a work level, and and putting yourself in a vulnerable position,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: especially when you know, like you're not at your peak
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: athleticism or being in shape is so powerful. And I
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: hope that you don't let I heard this thing the
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: other day, don't let the criticism of losers affect you.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: And I was like, wow, that is such a thing,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: because why do we listen and let things get in
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: our head when it's from people like you're such a
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: badass woman going out there having a baby and then
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: going to play soccer. Like I couldn't even play soccer
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: right now, it's so much running. So I say, don't listen,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: go out there, show them why you wanted to play.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: And if you, for whatever reason feel like, hey, this
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: league feels a little too advanced for where I'm at
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: right now, I want to join. If you feel that way,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: take a step back.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: And be she doesn't. She's literally saying she's having fun,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: she loves having her kids seeing her out there. She's
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: enjoying it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. But I'm saying if she gets
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: to a point where she's like, dang, like I'm struggle
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: or you know, I'm like, but if as long as
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: you feel good about being out there, I say, you
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: show up every week.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: It just bothers. I know, it's so much easier said
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: than done. It's so easy for us to sit here
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: and say, come, don't listen to what anybody else to say, like,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: live your life unapologetically be you, and like I am
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: the first person to say that, But I know it's
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: so much easier said than done. But at the end
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: of the day, like, that's your life, you know what
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, Like you don't want to have regrets about
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: something because of somebody else's stupid opinion, you know what
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I mean. Like, and we get it all the time.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: People are constantly, like even in our Facebook group, calling
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: us out for things that we you know, like or
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: how I act, or if I'm annoying, or I find
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: this or that. If I listen to people, I would
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: literally drive myself nuts trying to just like appease every
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: single person. At the end of the day, you have
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: to live your life authentically to who you are. You
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: want to go out there, you want to play the game,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: you're having fun. It seems like this is the only
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: person that has a problem with it, and it's not
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: her problem. It's not her business. I stand on business.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I think you should go up to the girl who
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: said it and say I heard that. No one's kidding.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I heard that you were talking about me, and I
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: wanted to know if you were still feeling that way.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: But I also think he's not going to do that.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. I'm kidding. I would never do that.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: But why don't we do that? Why don't we do that?
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: So yes, sometimes it's just like showing up and like
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: being good at soccer is the best form of a response.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Yesterday we were or whatever day was, Robbie and I
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: were out to breakfast and we had Sonny with us,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: and this girl at the table was like kind of
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: just like giving us these like like vibes. That's I
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: was keeping sunny like on the other side, right, and
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: she was like being so chill. She didn't jump on
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: her or she didn't, she was just there. Okay. So
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: the girl's friend comes back to the table. They start
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: speaking in a different language that Robbie knows, and they're
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: like talking madge on my dog. They're like, oh my god,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: that girl's dog like just scared me. And the other
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: girl was like, yeah, her fur just got all over
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: my food. And Robbie was like, they were talking mad
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: you know what on Sunny And I was like, why
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: don't you tell me we were there? Because I literally
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: would have turned to the table and been like, maybe
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: if you're trying to talk ish on somebody else, speak
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: a different language, because my husband can understand you and
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: I know exactly what you're saying.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: I wish Robbie would have responded in the language I know.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: He's just like he's an unproblematic king, like he just
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: like I can't be bothered. And I was like so
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: pissed because he said it as we were walking out,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: and I was like, I'm tempted to go back there
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: and just like go off. Why don't we do that?
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: We should do it more. People need to not be
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: able to.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Just do this stuff, to speak their minds.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: No, like this girl's saying like whatever the soccer team
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: soccer was saying, It's like, no.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, Anonymous, what do you get? What do
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: you get out of not going back to this soccer team? Like,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: what do you get out of letting her win?
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Nothing, nothing, You're just gonna be like, dang, I wish
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I was playing soccer weekly.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Nobody got on her head, and now she's feeling insecure,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: which it really.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: But I need to take that insecurity and even if
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: you're scared, even if you're nervous, do it anyway, because
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the more you show up and continue to play, the
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: easier it's gonna get, not only psychologically but physically, it's
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: gonna get easier. The more you're playing, you're gonna feel better.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: You're gonna feel back to your high school self, and
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: you're gonna feel oud that you're out there, and that
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: girl is going to be like dang, she's pretty good.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: The insecurity is from the other woman, the woman who
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: said that she clearly wishes she could be out there. Absolutely,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the day you stop caring about what others think is
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the day you start living. That's it. And one more thing,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: it's it's hard. The next time you score a goal
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and you're running back towards midfield, I want you to
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: look at her. Yes, I want you to stare her down. Yep,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that's it, and she wants She may not even know.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Why, Anonymous, I need an update, but you better be
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: on the soccer field next week, and if it's in LA,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: we'll come cheer you on. Okay, this next one is
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: it's not funny, but it's it's a dilemma we should
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: break beforehand.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: But I do want to do this one because we've
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: never gotten anything close to this before.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's funny.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: We're back.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: That's right, Dear Banya, all capitalized like it's an acronym.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I've been a Day one listener. I love you for
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: so much. I only listen to one podcast and it's
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: scrubbing in. Wow, best vibes, easy going, makes me laugh.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Your half at all, that's nice. I need your takes.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I have a six year old Scottish fold cat. She's
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: super cute, soft, a lover her butt. She's a COVID
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: baby and didn't meet anyone else new for the first
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: year of her life, and as a result, she's incredibly
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: mean and scary to anyone who comes into my house.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: She has nine pounds of terror, and everyone knows it.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: She's caused injuries. My sister in law banged her, had
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: a fridge running away from her. A friend got attacked
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: on the foot for just standing in my kitchen, and
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: my boyfriend fell down the stairs and sprained his elbow
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: after she hissed and lunched at him. My siblings won't
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: let me, baby said, they're kids because they're so scared
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: of her. She won't let anyone but me pet her,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and occasionally we cuddle when people come over. I lock
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: her in my bedroom. I have a huge room, lots
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: of windows. It's not cruel, I promise, but I do
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: this because I'm constantly worried she'll attack someone. And here's
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the part I feel awful about. My boyfriend is thinking
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: about moving in, and I'm considering rehoming her. I love her,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: but I don't feel super connected. I crave a connection
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: we don't have. I've even thought about asking the breeder
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: to take her back. Most people are devastated when their
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: animal passes, and I'm here, and here, I am contemplating
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: giving mine away. I feel terrible, but I also don't
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: want my boyfriend uncomfortable, or anyone else getting hurt? What
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: would you do? Love you all, Thank you for making
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: my week twice a week.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, this is a real dilemma. I'm sorry you're going
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: through it. But the injuries of everyone scattering, preaturing a
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: nine mold god.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Is lunging at him.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, the sister running and banging her head into the fridge,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: that's just great. But this is clearly really a problem
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: for you. And we're sorry you're going through this.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: And I don't know much long time, but I also
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: don't know much about cats. Like cats have a long life,
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: like they say, like nine lives, Like she's gonna you're
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: gonna have this cat for.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Between twelve and eighteen years they much.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: I'm being told, there's no wayed eighteen is a long time.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I think twenty is like the oldest cat I've ever
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: been around.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Scottish fold cats eleven fifteen.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Dogs average lifespans forever, forever, forever.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Don't talk about that right now. Okay, I don't know
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: much about cats, and cats.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Lived much longer than dogs. Oh learned something Neway.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you can train cats like I
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: don't know if you.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Know a dog camp you can tend to like cat camp.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: You know how you can send dogs away to like
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: a trainer and they can work on behavioral issues. I
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: don't know if cats have that same they must, I
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: don't know. They're different. You know, it's a different.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: It's feline, it's a Yeah.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I have no issue if you find someone that is
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: going to love the cat and like be able to
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: to deal with this cat's temperament and it's all of
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: it's all the things that it comes with, it's terrorizing behavior.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I am not opposed to rehoming.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, rehoming and like being diligent and finding a nice
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: home is one thing. But I feel like just giving
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: her to a shelter.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: I don't support that.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: I don't. Yeah, I think that would be really sad.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: So I would say, maybe contact the breeder first because
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: they might be able to They might have like a
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: wait list, so they might be able to rehome it
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: to yeh, like.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Some loan, like someone that really wants just a cat, and.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: It might her. I don't know if this how it works,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: but maybe it's just your's personalities don't mash. Maybe she'll
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: find someone and be super loving and.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Cuddly, but also you have a life that's like very
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: it feels very active a lot of people, so yeah, yeah,
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: like some people don't have very social lives. They're like
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: a little bit to themselves.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: So like the older person, Yeah, this.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Might be a better pairing for somebody like that.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Mm hm. So I would say, don't feel shame in
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: needing to rehome if you can find a place that's
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: going to love and nurture this cat. Yeah, they're also
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Scottish folds, I think are very like expensive and isn't
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: that what Taylor Swift has.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know anything about cats, literally nothing.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: But I'm really sorry you're going through this because I
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: know it's a hard decision. But it seems like once
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: you get the once you can find someone to take
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: her on, you'll be happy to have her off your hands,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: is what it sounds like.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift has two Scottish fold cats. Yeah, Meredith Gray
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: and Olivia Benson are both Scottish fold cats.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: And I think that they're pretty cuddly and sweet, So
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I think unfortunately, I think our listener thought that's what
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: she was getting and unfortunately did not. But I would say,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't know, look into training cat training. Yeah,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: that's what I would do.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: And then if not, I was one Phase one fails.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: If base one fails, seek a loving home that will
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: match this sweet little terror of a cat's life style.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I'm just think Phoebe's nine pounds, So I'm picturing Phoebe
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: just hissing and like chasing after me speaking.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: It's scary. Sometimes she doesn't, sometimes she can.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: She's alpha mentality, she's stout, she's dense, dense, Yeah, she's
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: got some density word. Yeah. Good Luckily, So we're wishing
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: you the best.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Good luck to your family, good luck to everyone involved.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Who's at risk? Whoa talking that?
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: High scrubbing and squad. I have a longtime listen and
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: lover of the pod and very much a beckup. I
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: hope it can help me navigate a dilemma I'm dealing with.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I've been dating my boyfriend about six months, and he
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: decided to throw his mom a surprized birthday party for
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: an upcoming milestone birthday. I love that he wants to
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: celebrate her in such a thoughtful way. I've been helping
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: with the planning. I enjoy that kind of thing, and
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: he's really not the best at it. Here's where it
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: gets tricky. I've never met her. I just met his
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: twin daughter for the first time less than a week
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: ago at a group setting at church. Going to this
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: party doesn't feel like the right move. I don't want
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: his mom to feel obligated to spend time with me
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: in her own celebration when she should just be enjoying herself.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: And going from a very brief introduction with his daughter
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: right into a big family event feels like a lot.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: To make it more complicated, he told me he invited
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: his daughter's mom, her mom's boyfriend, and her mom to
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: the party. He's also mentioned multiple times in the past
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: that his daughter's mom won't like me, which has another
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: layer of awkwardness. I do want to add this. I
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: know he has dreams one day of having a big, cohesive,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: blended family with his future spouse and his daughter's family.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: I'm totally on board with that. I'd love for us
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: to be amicably attending events together and supporting his daughter
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: as a united front. I'm just not convinced that jumping
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: into this situation this early is the right way to
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: build that dynamic. His mom was out of town mending
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: her before the party is not an option. His daughter's
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: mom and him were never romantically involved, so it's not
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: a lingering feeling situation. He really wants me to go
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: and is clearly annoyed that I'm hesitant. I've met some
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: extended family and his brother, but only once. I want
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: to be a supportive girlfriend. I know how much throwing
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: this party means to him, but I can't check the
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: feeling that I'm walking into a nightmare. Do I go
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: and support him? Or is it reasonable to set a
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: boundary here and sit this one out? Love the girlfriend
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: with no onboarding?
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Hm?
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Why have all I need to know?
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: What?
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Ami? Because she says I'm trying to find exactly where
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: she said it, but she said that her boyfriend really
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: wants her to go. That to me is a green flag.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: The fact that he's not trying to hide you keep
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: you from this party. Imagine he tried to say no, no,
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: don't come to this party, and like that would be
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: even more annoying. I think I think you'd feel a
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: certain type of way if he didn't want you to
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: come to this party. The fact that he wants you
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: to come to this party, it's not gonna be about you.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: You're not gonna make the mom feel weird because you've
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: never met you. Go, you be super nice, meet her,
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: and then be on your merry way, Like just be
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: a nice, fun guess at the party, don't make it
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: about you, and go and have a good time. I
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: don't think it's like I don't think it's setting a boundary.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: I also don't think you need to rush into anything,
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, especially if you think you're
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: gonna be with this guy for a long time, if
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: you're not ready and you're not comfortable. But I feel
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: like the fact that he wants you to go is
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: a green good sign.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I agree. I was gonna suggest because she said she
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: lives out of town. I don't know if it's like
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: they're driving for the day and then coming back. I
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: don't know such logistics, but I was thinking, I wonder
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: if they could set up a like go the day
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: before and they could go have dinner with his mom,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: just so it doesn't feel like you're like meeting her
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: for the first time the party, you know what I'm saying, Or.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Even like a FaceTime or something.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just something where you kind of get a sense
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: of getting like meeting each other before a party. But
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: I think even though I totally validate your hesitation and
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: like the things that you're listing out that would be uncomfortable,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: But I think you just go. Don't feel pressure to
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: sit with his mom or entertain his mom. Just go
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: and be more of like a support for your boyfriend
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: that clearly wants you to be a part and don't
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: overthink the like meeting for the first time part of it.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: And if you can make plans and go up a
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: little earlier the day before, maybe y'all can go have
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: dinner or you can go to the house just to
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: say hey, so that that that like initial ice breaker
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: moment is out before the party.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: And if it is at the party, just go and
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: be like, I'm so happy to be here and I'm
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: I'm so happy to meet you on your birthday, Like
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: just be you.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, happy birthday. What can I get you to drink? Yeah,
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: let's take a shot together, breaks the ice. Yeah, I
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: don't drink.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean read learn about her, learn about her
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: before you ask about the shot.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: I think this is such a green flag and like
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: not a boundary that you need to set.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: And you don't need his daughter's mom to like you.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: It'd be great if she does, but I don't nothing
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: to prove to her. Just be nice. If she wants
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: to like you, great. If she already doesn't like if you,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: if she already doesn't like.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: You, No, she she didn't say that. He said she
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: probably won't.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: I know, if it's already assumed, then don't have expected.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Just go in be yourself. Maybe I will hit it
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: off and it'll surprise everybody. And maybe he's right, maybe
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: she's just not easy, like maybe she's has a hard
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: time liking anyone that's new. I don't know.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: That's not on you.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: I think you go be you, be the star that
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: you are, and don't feel like you have to like
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: prove yourself totally because he wants you there.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which is key. Yes, which we love, which we love.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: I think we're gonna play the birthday game, but we're
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: gonna take a quick break before we play.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: I love that you love playing the birthday birthday game.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: You keep coming back for more because you rarely win.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: You know, she did win recently when you weren't here,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: So I'm not sure if it's that she rarely wins
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: or that you always win.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: I get so lucky though, like I know, I just luck.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: So I'm hoping luck is today. I have a feeling
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: today I pinch the monkey. Oh my god, here we go. Okay,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: we'll be back with birthdays.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: We're back. I've got here seven celebrities with a birthday
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: this week. M all right, we're gonna start with Tanya. Okay,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: you'll give the agent, Becca will say hi, or Laura.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: We'll go back and forth, and whoever gets the most
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: of the seven correct, is our winner. All right, Tanya,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: we begin with you, and who's got a birthday this week?
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Dakota Fanning has a birthday this week, and I'm asking
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: you how old is she turning this week? Tanya?
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: My god, is Dakota the older the younger?
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Well, I can't answer that question.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say Dakota is turning twenty nine.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Twenty nine? Beca? Is she how older or younger? We'll
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: go that way.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Older.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: She's thirty two, very nice. Becca is off to an
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: early lady, but I just know.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: She's older than that.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Elle Fanning is the older one though, No, she's the
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: younger one.
• 26:43

  Speaker 1: What do you think about Emily Blunt? What a birthday
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: we're looking at there?
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: I'm going to guess Emily is.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Forty four, can turn forty four? That is incorrect. Tanya
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: is Emily Blunt old or younger than the forty four?
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: She is turning forty three? Now, Tanya, you should have
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: an advantage on this one. I think you dated him briefly.

  Speaker 1: Josh Grobin hardly.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: I talked to him up, Yeah, yeah, brave brief.

  Speaker 1: Re Becca for a pretty major steel here.
