Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for our American mama's. Dear mamas,
- 0:02Speaker 1: would you ever consider having separate bedrooms from your husband's?
- 0:06Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mama's mama, mama.
- 0:21Speaker 1: And joining is now our American mama's Terry Edville and
- 0:23Speaker 1: Kimberly bur Listen. You know what I kind of think
- 0:25Speaker 1: of Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton because when he became
- 0:29Speaker 1: president went into the White House, Hillary's like, I am
- 0:31Speaker 1: not taking a separate room. I Am not, We're going
- 0:34Speaker 1: to be in the same bedroom. And then when I
- 0:36Speaker 1: saw the movie Milani do you'll see the movie Milanias,
- 0:39Speaker 1: it kind of seemed like maybe she and Donald have
- 0:44Speaker 1: separate bedrooms or either that or he just never sleeps. Yeah,
- 0:48Speaker 1: and so she went to her bedroom and he doesn't
- 0:50Speaker 1: need one. But I wonder about that. I mean, would
- 0:54Speaker 1: would y'all ever consider having separate rooms from your husband's.
- 0:58Speaker 3: I mean I did consider it. Evan's like, uh no,
- 1:01Speaker 3: only because he's snores, you know. And I told him,
- 1:06Speaker 3: I said, I said, like, I think, I don't think
- 1:09Speaker 3: there's anything wrong. I said, my grandparents, you know, they
- 1:11Speaker 3: had separate bedrooms. And you know the Brady Bunch, you know,
- 1:15Speaker 3: mister Miss Brady they had separate.
- 1:16Speaker 4: Beds, and he didn't. They actually they had the same bed.
- 1:20Speaker 1: The Brady Bunch was the first TV show that had
- 1:24Speaker 1: the same bed. Now, if you go to and.
- 1:28Speaker 3: When I rid up to Kevin, it was after, you know,
- 1:32Speaker 3: I'd let he'd fall asleep, and then I would just
- 1:34Speaker 3: you know, tiptoe out and go in the guest room
- 1:36Speaker 3: and he would wake up and he doesn't like it
- 1:38Speaker 3: when I'm not in the bed. And I said, well,
- 1:40Speaker 3: we've got to figure something out because I'm so tired.
- 1:42Speaker 3: I said, I don't see anything wrong with us having
- 1:45Speaker 3: separate beds. I mean separate beds and separate bedrooms at night,
- 1:49Speaker 3: just at night. And he said that you're starting something
- 1:52Speaker 3: that's not good. It's not healthy for a married couple.
- 1:55Speaker 3: I'll get a sea pap, I'll do whatever. But I
- 1:57Speaker 3: don't like to wake up and reach over there and
- 2:00Speaker 3: you're not there. I don't like it. So I did
- 2:02Speaker 3: consider it. But then I saw this point and I thought,
- 2:04Speaker 3: he's right, he's right.
- 2:06Speaker 4: It's comment that I did not realize how common it was.
- 2:10Speaker 4: This was a TikTok and this girl saying she's young too.
- 2:13Speaker 4: I could see it older. You know later in marriage
- 2:16Speaker 4: you kind of get to that point. But this is
- 2:18Speaker 4: a young girl and she and her husband decided to
- 2:20Speaker 4: have separate bedrooms and they're loving it. She gets to
- 2:23Speaker 4: decorate it the way she wants to decorate it. Go
- 2:26Speaker 4: to the comments and I was shocked. I thought she
- 2:28Speaker 4: would get hate. And the number of people that are like,
- 2:31Speaker 4: we do that, we enjoy it. It makes life easy.
- 2:34Speaker 3: And she talks about how it does. I mean it
- 2:37Speaker 3: kind of enhances the sex life, she said, because it's
- 2:39Speaker 3: like you're going to their place, have a little fun,
- 2:41Speaker 3: and then you can go sleep in your bed. So
- 2:45Speaker 3: you know, that's the way she I wonder if Kevin
- 2:47Speaker 3: would consider this again.
- 2:49Speaker 4: I don't know. I know that Mike and I we
- 2:50Speaker 4: were traveling. We were traveling last summer and we went
- 2:53Speaker 4: to a hotel and they had two queen sized beds
- 2:55Speaker 4: only when they had so we were like, yes, we
- 2:57Speaker 4: want those. So Mike gets in bed and I get
- 2:59Speaker 4: in the other bed and he said, what are you doing,
- 3:02Speaker 4: YE said, you're six foot six, these are two queen
- 3:05Speaker 4: size beds. I don't want to roll into you. I'm
- 3:08Speaker 4: going to sleep in my bed and he goes, that's weird.
- 3:10Speaker 4: I said, no, it's not. It's the best night sleep
- 3:12Speaker 4: we both had. We both woke up like maybe this
- 3:15Speaker 4: is a new thing when we go to hotel because
- 3:19Speaker 4: it was, it was nice. But to me, it's it's
- 3:22Speaker 4: what makes you sleep the best. I mean, you have
- 3:25Speaker 4: your moments, you have your intimacy, you know, but what
- 3:28Speaker 4: what keeps because sleep is so important, it's so important.
- 3:31Speaker 5: I don't like this idea at all.
- 3:33Speaker 4: I know, I know at all I would do. I
- 3:36Speaker 4: don't want that, but I get it.
- 3:38Speaker 3: I think that's the thing about Landy Landy is no, Yeah.
- 3:46Speaker 1: I don't like going to sleep without her that yeah,
- 3:49Speaker 1: So all right, so my daughter and my wife likes
- 3:52Speaker 1: starting projects at midnight, yes, yeah, And because I work
- 3:55Speaker 1: in New York in the in the mornings, you know,
- 3:58Speaker 1: I'm up at four thirty and so if I'm going
- 4:01Speaker 1: to bed at ten o'clock and and she's not there,
- 4:04Speaker 1: I don't like that because she and my daughter are
- 4:07Speaker 1: off starting a new project somewhere. I'm like, yeah, so
- 4:13Speaker 1: I don't. I'm with Kevin on that. I don't.
- 4:14Speaker 3: Yeah, there's something comforting about being together.
- 4:17Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's it's just it's time spent together. It
- 4:21Speaker 1: is you know, maybe I'm like a golden retriever.
- 4:24Speaker 4: Okay, you're a golden retriever.
- 4:27Speaker 1: So the idea on this is that for dogs spending
- 4:30Speaker 1: time with dogs, if you're just sleeping in the same room,
- 4:33Speaker 1: that counts for the dog. Like the dog's like, okay,
- 4:36Speaker 1: we're back, we're together. As long as you're there. You
- 4:39Speaker 1: can be asleep, but you know that still counts as
- 4:41Speaker 1: good quality time for a golden retriever.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Now, I'd be curious to know how many women I
- 4:47Speaker 3: think it's a good idea compared to how many men,
- 4:50Speaker 3: because it sounds like men are not too keen on that.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Because Mike was like, this is dumb. Yeah, Kevin's like dangerous.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Ye I'm pouting, ye, No.
- 5:02Speaker 2: No, this is it.
- 5:03Speaker 3: This is it good? That's interesting.
- 5:05Speaker 4: Just get a really big bed. That's my advice. Everybody
- 5:08Speaker 4: get a really big bed in California.
- 5:10Speaker 1: King, Yeah, that doesn't that still doesn't help. I still
- 5:15Speaker 1: end up over on her side.
- 5:16Speaker 2: All the time.
- 5:18Speaker 5: That's where she is. Yeah, I gotta get there. If
- 5:22Speaker 5: you were to come to the middle of the bed,
- 5:23Speaker 5: this would be fine. I wouldn't have to cross the
- 5:25Speaker 5: Great Divide. But you know, all right, I'm I'm a
- 5:29Speaker 5: firm no. You guys are both like sounds so bad.
- 5:33Speaker 4: I kind of get it. I don't want it, but
- 5:35Speaker 4: I get why they did.
- 5:37Speaker 3: A good way to say it's all right, fair enough.
