  Speaker 1: Hey, there're folks, welcome to I Do Part to, a
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: one of a kind experiment in love and podcasting, and
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: we are not here to help just any old body
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: fine love. Oh no, bro, We are here specifically for
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: certain folks, Yes, for folks.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Who didn't get love right the first time, or maybe
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: even the second or third time, just like us. We

  Speaker 2: are two of your hosts for I Do Part two.

  Speaker 1: co hosts Jenna Kramer and Jenny Garth, as well as
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: our celebrity mentors, we are going to give guidance based
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: on all of our varying degrees of relationship experience.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Experience you say, well, for us, that means two divorces each.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: So we are not here to sit on our pedestal
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: and point fingers. Now, we encourage all of our listeners
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: to call in right in with their stories we know
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: we're not alone, and their hopes for getting love right
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the next time.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: And one of those folks we heard from is someone
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: that maybe some of our listeners are even familiar with.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: But take a listen now to one other people who
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: called in and say they need help looking for love.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Hey, missus, Elizabeth Brown, And I was just listening to
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: the podcast and my friend had told me that I
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: should call in. So here I am. I'm forty four
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: and three and a half years of worse. Her parents
• 1:34

  Speaker 3: Nashville So anyway, anyway you can help, any advice would
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: be well appreciated.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Thanks, so sweet, so sweet, Elizabeth Brown. If that doesn't
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: sound familiar, maybe remember her as Elizabeth kit Elizabeth Kit Brown.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: But Elizabeth is joining us now on the podcast, And honestly,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: we actually asked our producers, Elizabeth, whether or not you
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: actually just called in or if there was some sort
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: of a reach out to you, and know you genuinely
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: called the podcast asking for help. And folks might know
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: who you are because you were a contestant on The Bachelor,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Yes a long.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Time ago, yes, yes.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: And then season fourteen and then also so I know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Bachelor in Paradise, but you were on a show that
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: predated that as well, correct, yeah, Pad, Bachelor season.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, remind us what Bachelor PAD was about.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: So it was more of a game show where you
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: had a chance to win two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: So you were looking for money, not love on that one.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, maybe a little bit of both win win win win. Yeah,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: but you did end up getting married to someone who
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: also was in the franchise. He was on the Bachelorette,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: So you ended up not on the actual shows, you
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: were on Finding Love, but in a way, because of
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the show, you found love. So tell us a little
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: bit about what happened. We know you're divorced now, but
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: tell us about the romance and then what happened.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so, coming off the shows, Ty was in La
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: visiting and I met up with him and a bunch
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: of the other bachelor people watching football, and I took
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Tim right away because he's tall and he's a country
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: country boy, and there's that media attraction right after the show.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: But then we both got into your relationships and it
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: was at the end of my to your relationship, and
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: I changed my status on Facebook, and twelve minutes later
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: he slid into my DMS and said, I think we.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Need to talk. Tell minutes, Elizabeth, twelve minutes after you
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: changed your status. Twelve minutes after the status change, he
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: was just standing by hitting refresh refresh for two years.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So it's pretty cool. And he was living in
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: LA or sorry, he was living in Nashville. I was
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: in LA and I was looking to leave LA at
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: that time. I'd been there five years and we just
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: decided I would move to Nashville. And it was a
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: pretty quick dating relationship until we got married. So it
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: was all really fast. But how fast I moved here?
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: And when we started talking in February, I moved here
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: in April right in with him.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've never lived with the guy really before that.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: And then we got engaged in October and married by
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: the following March.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, okay, help us here. And again, everybody
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: has their own journey, their own experience, but to meet
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: somebody or it's one thing to move in with somebody
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: after what'd you say February to April? But you moved
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: across the country. So what into that big of a
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: decision to not just move in with a guy, but
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to uproot your life and move across the country for
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: a guy.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it wasn't the first time I'd moved
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: across the country. I was kind of kind of good.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: That's your thing, Okay.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: I was thirty three and he was thirty four, and
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: we were just kind of at that age where you know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: we just wanted to kind of go for it, and
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: you know, I really wanted, you know, a lot of kids,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: and yeah, you're in your early thirties the time, the
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: clock's ticking.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: So I get that.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: There was a lot of thoughts.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: No judgment here. I had a I was engaged in
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: four months and married to ten months. It also ended
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: in divorce, so I understand how sometimes you can get
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: caught up and maybe not do the due diligence you
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: should have done to make sure you're actually compatible, make
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: sure he actually is the one. So I know it's
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: we both know it's so hard, especially when children are involved,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: to make the decision to divorce. What happened if you,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: if you don't mind us asking what happened in your
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: relationship where you all decided that was the next best step.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we I think looking back, I needed
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: to do a lot of work on myself before getting
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: into a marriage. I'd always been the girl that was
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: in the long relationships, and I went from relationship to
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: relationships since high school, and I guess I never really
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: found myself in order to present myself well to a partner.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: And so looking back back this last three and a
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: half years, I've done a lot of work and just
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: kind of being single and just being alone for the
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: first time, and there's been so much growth in that.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: You know, I finally found, you know, really who I
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: am and uncomfortable in who I am, and you know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: I had to get to know, like what do I
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: even like to do? You know, like what do I like?
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Because I would always you know, get into a relationship
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: and just become whatever that person wanted me to be.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: You know, I was good at it. So yeah, really
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: being alone and sitting in that and discovering myself the
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: last three and a half years has been really kind
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: of cool. So I probably should have done that before.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: You know, I feel like I gave it a good
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: go fresh seven years with him, and you know, we
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: we had some struggles with fertility, so we did the
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: whole IVF thing and got our miracle daughter and who
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: we both adore and we co parent very well together.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: And yeah, I think now I'm kind of ready to
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: start dating. But it's a challenge, you know, it's it's
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: not just me that I have to think about bringing
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: someone else into you know, this little world that we have,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: and and just finding time as a single mom and
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: just all the things.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: You know, Elizabeth kind I asked the work you said
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you've done in the past three hundred years, and three
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: hundred years and a half years told you we were
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: it feels like years. The work you've done on yourself
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: since divorce. The person you are now and what you've
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: become now, is this Elizabeth better prepared to be in
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: that marriage that you were in. Can you be a
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: better part? Can you all potentially work now because of
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: where you are or that ship's just passed?
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: He has a girlfriend now and quite a while.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, thanks DJ.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Now I have thought about it, you know, right when
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: we got divorced, you know, could we get back together?
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I just think that, you know, he probably wouldn't have
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: married me now because you know, I'm just so much
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: more grounded and who I am and what I want
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: and my boundaries and you know, my voice, and so yeah,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: I just I don't know that it would work. And
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: we co parent really well, and I like his girlfriend
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: and I think they've got a great thing going.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, and you know what, that's awesome because
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: that woman, if she hangs around is obviously in your
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: daughter's life and will be a part of your daughter's life,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: and so that's always something to consider.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: It just ca.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I mean, look, we've been down this road.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I've been down that road. I've been on both sides
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: of it. I've I have my daughters, have a step mom.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I've been a stepmom, So I get it. It's it's
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: you're not just marrying or dating a person, you're dating
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: their their children too, and their family. It all matters,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: and so that's a big part of the equation. Have
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: you dated in this three and a half years and
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: what has that experience been like post divorce.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: It's been wild because I've you know, I never really
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: been single this long, and I guess right after my
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: divorce I kind of put myself out there too soon,
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: and I went on a few dates and I'm like,
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: you know, I this is not the time. But it
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: was awesome. It's so really strange because for the first
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: time ever, really young guys would be the only people
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: that would hit on me, like really young, and I'm like,
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: I don't know about dating, you know, younger guys. I've
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: usually dated people my age, and so that was something
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: that that was interesting from the start.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Did you go on dates with those younger guys? Did
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: you say?
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Yes, I did? Yeah?
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: And what was that like?
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: They were fun? You know, they were like they well,
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: I feel like I'm kind of young at heart too,
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: and especially you know, I'm forty four, but I have
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: a six year old daughter, so I'm kind of more
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: in that, you know, younger age group with my mom
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: group and things. So but yeah, they I felt like
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: the younger guys really put in more of an effort
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: and they got really excited about the dates, whereas the
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: older guys or you know, guys my age or you know,
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: even older, they're just kind of like, yeah, you want
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: to go on a date? You know, They're just not
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: like I'm really excited.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: You know, Eliz, what is you say younger guys? What
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: age range are you talking about?
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Like ten years younger? Like early thirties?
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: All right, You're not going out with twenty four year olds.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: No, But they would hit on me and I'm like, sir,
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: you are way too young for me.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Why you think that is? Why is it that younger
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: guys are coming after you?
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know. It was kind of a joke there
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: for a while because anytime I'd go out with my friends,
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: you know, the only guys that would hit on me
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: were really young, and they would be like, how old
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: is that one? And I'm like, just way too young.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Some woman might say that's not a bad problem to
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: ask you, is that a compliment to have? It is
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: a compliment. I would absolutely think that was a compliment.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, I snagged a younger guy. TJ's four
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: and a half years younger than me. I'm curious how
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: much younger would you feel comfortable with dating and maybe
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: eventually marrying, Like do you have a number going younger
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: and a number going older?
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah? So, because I've put a lot of thought into that,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: and there were some you know, younger guys that maybe
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: I wrote off a little too soon. But my my
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: criteria is I don't mind them being you know, ten
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: years younger probably at the most. But my thing is,
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: you know, they're thirty four, and you know, do they
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: want kids? Because I don't want to have any more kids.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm forty four, so kind of past that.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: I think if I were, you know, a decade older,
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: and they were a decade young, you know, younger at
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: the time, I don't think it would be that big
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: of a deal because the you know, the baby years
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: are kind of you know, off the table, if that
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: makes sense.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Where are and how are you meeting folks to date
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the past three and a half years?
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: Oh jeez. Sometimes through the apps and sometimes out and about. Ideally,
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: I think I would like to meet someone you know
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: that is like a setup, you know, through a friend
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: or something, because it would feel more vetted or at work.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: But now I work from home, so I don't like
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: go into an office every day where I'm meeting people
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: all the time. And I live on a little five
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: acre farm outside of Nashville, so I'm kind of isolated
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: a lot, so it's kind of harder. I feel invisible
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: a lot. It's like, how do I how do I
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: get out there and meet people?
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Don't put too much stock and go into the office
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: and meeting people. Office romances go really bad.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: You can actually end your career.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we're here, so we could have absolutely Is that
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: about a year ago?
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Do you have? You know, you said you don't want
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: any more kids of your own, which is understandable. You've
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: got your beautiful six year old daughter, But what about
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: dating or being with a man who also has his
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: own children.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: I would love that. I in fact, when I was,
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: you know, in my early thirties and not married, I
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: started thinking I'll probably be a stepmom, you know, because
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: I'm getting a little older, and I was excited about
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: that idea, you know, of being a stepmom. I think
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: the hardest thing, though, has been I've met guys that
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: are that have kids, but then it's trying to find time,
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: you know, like with parenting schedules and everything. It just
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: seems like if you're if you have opposite weekends, forget
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: about it. You know, you'll never see each other.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: What is the I guess how serious would things have
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: to get before you would allow somebody you're dating to
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: meet your daughter? Who's six? Right? So has anything gotten
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: that far? And what what would need to happen for
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: you to be comfortable with somebody meeting your daughter.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've put a lot of thought into that too,
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: because I don't want, you know, her getting attached to
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: somebody and then and not working out or you know whatnot.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: It would just have to be I don't know if
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: there's exactly a timeframe on it. I've heard like six
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: months is a general rule. But I think it would
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: have to be you know, I could really see this
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: person being in our lives, you know, And so anytime
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: I start talking to somebody, I think of that, I'm like, well,
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: how would they fit in what we have going on?
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: You know, my ex you know, Tyme's got a good
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: situation because she's got two boys that are around my
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: daughter's age, and you know, Blakely's already calling them her brothers,
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: which is cute, you know, So I love that for
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: her to have that sibling, you know, the siblings. So yeah,
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: if it happened for me, that'd be great.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: But it's really to you just said. That's cool to hear,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: and it is so nice to see a mom supportive
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: of her daughter's experience in another family and just knowing
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I used to always say this, but I think you're
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: in the same wave. Like, the more people who love
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: my girls, the better they're going to be. So would
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: I be jealous or territorial if it just means they're
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: being loved by more people, And that's I think how
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: you have to look at it, if you're looking out
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: for their best interests.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Now, that's so true because I ran a half marathon
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: a couple weekends ago.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Gratulations, thank you, and.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: I didn't have anyone to watch my daughter, and his
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: girlfriend was available and she said, I'll take her for
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: the morning. So I got to drop her off, you know,
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: with his girlfriend, and they went and got their nails done,
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: and then afterwards I went to pick her up, and
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: me and the girlfriend talked for quite a while, you know,
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: just kind of hung out and talked, and it's really
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: cool to see that. And she was excited because she
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: doesn't usually get one on one time with my daughter,
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: so she's she thought it was really special that they
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: got their girl time because she's a she's a mom
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: of boys, you know, so she doesn't get to do
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: the nail stuff very often.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: What are your and again, that's wonderful to hear, given
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: we have to excuse me, four divorces between the two
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: of us, and you know, those family dynamics can be difficult,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: and it's good to hear it's working as well as
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: it is. So so really, we just got to get
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: you hooked up here. So what are your absolutes for me?
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: It's smoking, Like if I hear somebody's a smoker, that
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: would be an absolute. I don't even want to go
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: out on the date. Do you do you have some
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: absolute non negotiables. I will not compromise and date a
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: guy who does blank blank blank blank blank. Do you
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: have any gosh you.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Know, really, I just am looking for someone that's, you know,
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: very kind and somebody that loves kids. I guess probably
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: if they didn't love kids, that would be a big
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: deal breaker for me. So just like loving kids, being
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: family oriented, I also have to have the same sense
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: of humor, because I realized that in my marriage. I
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: was like, you don't get my jokes. My jokes are funny,
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: well high brow, but you know we're dark humor.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, And I think one of the ways we connected
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: as friends was through humor one hundred percent, and that
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: had been something that I had an experience before. Someone
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: you can laugh with. And I love that you just
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: said that because I think we both I know, I
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: have learned that that for me is a huge component
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: of our relationship, is that we can laugh together and
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: laugh at the same types of things together. And yeah,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: when you don't get each other's humor, that's tough. That's
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: a huge and I've had that, Like you're like, well,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: this is just the you can't have fun the whole
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: point of right, we should be enjoying each other and
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: you kind of have to enjoy each other's sense of humor.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Yes, And I never realized that was such a big
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: thing for me until you know. Yeah, and then when
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: somebody laughs at me, it's almost like my love language.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, they get my jokes like they get me,
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: and so I love that.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: It's so funny what you just said. Because DJ laughs
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: at me, I laugh with him. But I'm okay with that.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: I'm fine if I'm the source of the humor, not
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: something that I was choosing to be.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: But you're the fun I tell you this all the time.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: You're one of the funniest people I know. When you're
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: not trying to be funny, just you being you, I
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: end up falling off.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're hilarious, you really really are.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: But what I try to crack a joke, it falls
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: flat every time. So now I just be me and
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: that apparently is funny.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: It works. Maybe we also had someone else, I think
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: a friend of yours, Rebecca right also who's a member
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: of Bache Nation, ended up calling in as well. Both
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: of them, and again we're telling folks. This they this
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: came out of the blue. We did not solicit So
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: you all just happened to both call in. We're going
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: to hear from Rebecca a little layer on I do
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: part two. But you have you have us. Now, look,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: we have a lot of relationship experience between the two
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: of us, and so if you have access to us
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and all of our vast experience and background, what would
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: you want to ask? What are some questions you have
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: for folks like us?
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: Oh gosh, well, I love that you guys met in
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: your friends first. You know, I think ideally that that's
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: what I would love to have, But like I find
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: myself going on dates and kind of sabotaging them from
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: the start because I don't want it to go too fast.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I just want to get to know each
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: other's friends. Can we just go do fun things in
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Nashville and if you know we've all in love, we
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: fall in love. But like, I'm not going into it
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: trying to fall in love. I just you know, want
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: to I want to get to know people and hang
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: out and you know, see where it goes. But like,
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: how do I how do I say that on a
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: first date? Like, Sam, I met someone from the apps,
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: and I'm like.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I would argue, you have a challenge. If you're on
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: a dating app and you set up a meeting with
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the person of that dating app, they're going to think
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: they're on a date. Period. Yeah, so it's hard to
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: get someone out for a meal or whatever and you're
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: halfway through your surfing turf and that bottle of line
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: you say, oh, yeah, by the way, I just want
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: to be friends. That's not going to go over well,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I'm serious. It just it's difficult to set it up
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: that way, I would argue, and I will ask the
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: question as well, is there someone already in your life
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: who could end up being that mate? Because that for
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: eight years I didn't know this one sitting next to
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: me I would end up in a relationship with. It
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: never crossed my mind. So it's possible that person's already
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: in your life. I just think Robe, she's like, it's
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: a challenge to on a dating app get somebody to
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: then think, oh, we're just I just want to be friends,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: and then see what happens.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: So I think, yes, saying that is off putting immediately,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: and You're right, I do think that probably sabotages because
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: I mean if I heard that from someone who I
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: was excited about meeting or seeing, I would feel like,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: womph wah. It would be like was it something I said?
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Do you not like how I look? But you would
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: feel that immediately, so you're immediately going on the defense.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: But I think that if you have it in your
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: mind and you know that you want a relationship that
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: is built from a friendship, I think I think you
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: don't have to announce it. You'll just feel it out.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: If you have that friend vibe with somebody who you
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: also are attracted to, that's obviously what you're looking for, right,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: So I don't think you have to say it. I
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: don't think you have to announce it. I think you
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: just know. I'll know it when I feel it. I'll
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: know it when I see it. We're laughing at the
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: same things. We both like to watch horror movies, whatever,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: we both like to run half marathons. You start to
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: see that you've got similar interests and similar ways of reacting.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: I always a similar mode of operation. I've noticed that
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: in looking at what's worked and what hasn't. If you
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: value the same things, you operate similarly. And you like
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: some of the same things. That is how friendships are built.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: So if those components are there, there will be a
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: friendship in addition to the romance. But I think you
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: just have to look for it. If you announce it,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I think you're gonna turn people off for sure. And
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: that's happened because it kind of feels like a rejection
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: or like you're on a trial basis, and that doesn't
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: feel good, Like, oh, now you know, now I'm.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: The trial base is a good way to put it.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: And I think it would it would definitely make me
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: feel like I wasn't good enough or you know, I
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: think that might be you know, and not that women
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: don't have egos too, but I think the masculine ego
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: tends to be even slightly more fragile sometimes in those moments.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: And I asked, Elizabeth, is there anyone you can think
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: of in your life right now? You might not even
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: be thinking about them as a romantic partner, but do
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: you have some friend that's been around a long time?
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: And you'll kind of do you have anybody? And in mind,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: you don't have to say who it is, but you
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: have anything like that, somebody who's been kind of just
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: hanging around for the past I don't know, eight years.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: I wish I could say. Yet, when I moved here
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: and moved right in with my ex, I kind of
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: we we got friends together, so I kind of moved
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: into his world. And so after the divorce, I've had
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: to find a whole new group of friends and they're
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: all mare you know, like my mom, they're all married.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: So not yet, no help, But that's what I would
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: think about that situation. But yeah, to a point, you
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: don't have to announce it. You'll just feel it and
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: it'll it'll flow, and if y'all want to get together
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: again next time, it might be for a baseball game,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: or it might be for something more laid back and
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: not necessarily have the pressure and the romantic feel of
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: an actual date, and it'll just happen.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: It's funny because I think so many women go into
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: these dates, especially someone who may be divorced looking for
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: a new partner, who's had the time to work on themselves,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: and kind of almost feel like in a rush, like
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: I don't want to date you unless you're serious. It's
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: so so funny. You're saying the exact opposite, but both
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: of those things I think send people running.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: Do you have any thoughts on where I would go
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: to like meet single guys instead of going on the
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: apps to set that up?
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: You know, luckily I've never had to do the app thing,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: but I've only heard I mean, there are obviously success stories,
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: but it feels like it's so hard to determine what
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: people's motivations are on those apps. So I would So
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: you mentioned you just ran a half marathon. I don't
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: know if Nashville, but I'm assuming they have run clubs.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: But I feel like, if you love running, or you
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: love hiking, or you love biking, whatever it is, join
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: the club in your area. Like we see this all
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: the time in New York. We have run clubs everywhere
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: and it's so cool. But this is like the new
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: non dating app, but a like person to person in
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: face meeting with folks who share the same passion, and
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: you could start running together and it just can develop.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: There's no pressure then, because you weren't swiping left or right.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: You're actually just doing something you love and they are too.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: So that would be a suggestion of mine to join
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: a run club. I know you've got a young daughter,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: but if you can fit it in once or twice
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: a week, you might meet some really cool, awesome people
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: who share your interests.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and usually the runners are in pretty good shape.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: That's just an added bonus. But your frame graun, I
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: know you talk about the other I mean they're all
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: coupled up. But in that group, anytime there's a chance
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: to get to little folks, you me, we invite it
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: to so many little I don't know, a movie premieres
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: or a little book signings, or anytime you can get
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: into a situation where there's not pressure, whereas just a
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: group of folks hanging out. And if it's a say yes,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: if a friend wants to drag you to a church
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: pot luck, say yes, if a friend wants to drag
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: it to whatever it may be. You just I think
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: you always have to get into a situation where there's
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: no pressure. When you've met these folks, there's no pressure
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: to sit down for a meal, no pressure to make
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: a connection, and it just happens naturally to get go
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: to a wedding, go to any social any of these
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: social gatherings where they're just people just wanted to have
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: a good time. And I think that's a way to
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: go say yes to everything.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: I love that. Now you guys are both parents, so
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: what are your thoughts on the whole introducing someone to
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: your kid thing?
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: What what are your thoughts on those on that?
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think it's obviously we all want
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: to pret our kids at all costs and I would
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: not and did not introduce my then young daughters until
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: it was somebody who I knew was going to be
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: in their lives for a long time. You can't ever
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: predict the future, obviously, and it's a case by case basis.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't for me. I don't know that I would
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: give it a timeline. It'd be more if we are
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: in an exclusive relationship and we've decided to take that
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: next step not to see other people, then it's hard
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: to constantly and some people choose to do that and
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: I respect that too, But you know, I think once
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: you've made that commitment, that for me would be when
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: I'd be willing to start to introduce that person into
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: my children's life.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I agree, and we or we just went through this again.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: My daughter is eleven, but we let her guide how
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: she wanted to be introduced. We that was never a
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: time I had to put pressure on her and say
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: this is what's happening. It was more let her guide
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: when she got curious, or when I continue to talk
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: to her about it and say, hey, are you okay
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: if Robot comes to this or comes over to that,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: And it's just become natural to the point now sometimes
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: my daughter doesn't even want to come over and hang
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: out or go do something unless, oh, is robot going
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: to be with us? Right? She asked for so we
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: got to this great place. But she one hundred percent
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: led the way on what she was comfortable with. And
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: win six years seven years old, like your daughter is.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe she is getting to the point she can make
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: that call and she'll get curious. But it really helped
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: to kind of the child is old enough to let
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: them guide.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love that. That's really good. Letting them gue.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: What happens if they meet the person and they don't
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: really like them, like what do you do? Do you
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: stay in the relationship or what?
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: And well, you know what, So, especially if they're older
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: kids like you could be in this position, right, so
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: you could be introduced to this guy's children who were
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: older and they may not like you. You know, it's and
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: I think I would just say, whoever the person is
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: who's not being liked by the children, that's kind of
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: a red flag because those children are never going away,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: and you might want to spend some time trying to
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: convince them, but sometimes it just doesn't matter, and you
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: are setting yourself up, or that your potential partner is
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: setting themselves up for a lot of friction that is
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: almost impossible to undo. That's why, yes, take your time.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: But if there is a bad experience and a bad
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: feeling and bad juju, that might be really hard to overcome,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: and I think it might be I mean, the person
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: who is not liked might be the person who has
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: to say this isn't a comfortable situation for me to
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: be in, and nobody wins. So that's a really tough
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: one because I'm sure there are people who can and
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: children who can be convinced and persuaded, But sometimes you
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: have to ask yourself, can I be in a relationship
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: with somebody when I know every time their children are around,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: I feel uncomfortable or they feel that I have found
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: that to be a very difficult situation.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Then you have to ask some questions about why the
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: kids might not like the other or the boyfriend or
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the girlfriend, and the owners has to be on the
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: parents of that children to a great degree, like what
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: have they been saying? Why have they not guided this
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: process a little better? Because no kids should just they
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: might not like somebody because okay, my mom is being
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: replaced my other parents. They might feel that way, but
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: they shouldn't. And I know it's delicate, it's very difficult,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: but to just hate somebody outright, you have to have
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: help from your partner to guide that situation. But to
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Robot's point, it is so the relationships are hard already.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Blending families is hard already. On top of that, we
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: have to navigate your children not liking me. That is
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: difficult to almost impossible to do. So that's a really
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: really big deal.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, no, it is that that is something to like
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: when you have children or when the other person that
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: has to be considered. Yes, yes, yes, very much. So.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Well, being out on this farm and you know, working
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: from home, I don't have a lot of opportunities to
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: get out there and you know, meet people. Not to
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: mention the time, right, so I've got my daughter fifty
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: percent of the time, So the other fifty percent. You know,
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: I try to use that to go out. Then sometimes
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: I just need some me time to in alone time.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: So my time is pretty limited.
• 31:22
