1
00:00:02,700 --> 00:00:06,100
Young widows weird brushed aside
were swept under. 

2
00:00:06,100 --> 00:00:09,500
The rug were hurry up and get 
married again, move on with your

3
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:12,000
life. 
Get over it and I don't think 

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000
people are like looking at what 
that really means. 

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,700
What does that mean for someone 
that's gone through it? 

6
00:00:16,708 --> 00:00:19,100
What does that mean for their 
family Dynamic? 

7
00:00:19,100 --> 00:00:21,300
Was that me for their kids? 
Was that me for their 

8
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:24,000
friendships? 
The whole nine yards. 

9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:31,200
This is every Widow thing. 
Welcome back to every Widow 

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,400
thing. 
I'm here with my main crew, 

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,400
Lacey, Holly and Whitney. 
And today we wanted to dive into

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,900
something that kind of Blends, 
you know, some real traumatic 

13
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:48,000
emotions but also some 
light-hearted and funny stories.

14
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,800
And that is the subject of 
dating, dating, after your 

15
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,700
husband has died. 
So we've all done some dating 

16
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:01,600
and we we've had some 
relationships that near 

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,000
marriage. 
We know it's rough out there 

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,400
ladies and we're just going to 
share some just kind of funny 

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,200
stories about getting back out 
there. 

20
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:14,200
Yeah, it's scary. 
I knew my husband at 19, I had 

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,200
the best little figure tight 
cute. 

22
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,000
I mean, and after he died, one 
of my weird first, thoughts was 

23
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,600
like No One's Gonna know that 19
year old, but they didn't know 

24
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,500
it at night. 
Pretty cute, but fine. 

25
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:32,600
But it's 50. 
How old am I 50 to fit? 

26
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,500
A my 52. 
A 52-year old but you know it's 

27
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:39,300
not the same. 
The skin isn't as Supple but 

28
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:43,700
neither is there's less you're 
dating. 

29
00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:46,900
I'm like well I was trying to 
date some babies for a while and

30
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:51,500
their 30s and then I just was so
self-conscious because I had 

31
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:54,700
some girlfriends that were like 
you're dating too old, you need 

32
00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:58,500
because my window was like 45 to
50. 

33
00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:04,200
And they were like, you need to 
go younger and I did huh. 

34
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,300
Expand? 
The age range? 

35
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:07,500
Anger. 
Well, fry had to expand mind. 

36
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:11,000
Older is what I really thought 
you were told that to weren't 

37
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,600
you laser. 
Yeah, in my husband was nine 

38
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,500
years younger. 
So I thought that was odd there,

39
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:18,100
but it's weird because the older
men are men are always looking 

40
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:20,700
for younger women, and that's 
well, that's true. 

41
00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:24,300
But I will say, there were a lot
of 30-somethings that were 

42
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,200
letting girl. 
Yeah, I know. 

43
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,500
Well, first, I was 35 and then 
one of my friends was like, you 

44
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:32,000
need to go. 30. 
And I was like, what a moment I 

45
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
did. 
And I was like, I can't know, 

46
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,100
but even the 35-year old I was 
too self-conscious when we were 

47
00:02:39,100 --> 00:02:40,800
out. 
I'm just like, why are you with 

48
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,800
me? 
Like what it, you know, what, 

49
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,800
and I can't have your baby. 
Like what? 

50
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:49,800
I just it was it was too hard to
have fun. 

51
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,200
And you know, that's one thing 
that I think married women and I

52
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,300
was one of these women because I
had a friend who was a widow and

53
00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:58,800
I was always like, you're having
so much fun you get to date all 

54
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,400
the These guys and go have fun 
and it's not not it's hard. 

55
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,200
It's now online psychic about 
I'm job for when you met like 

56
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,500
I've been all over at work on 
the elevator. 

57
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,800
Now I'm having to swipe and it's
horrible. 

58
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,100
I hate it. 
I hate it. 

59
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:15,700
I'm person I've given up. 
All right. 

60
00:03:15,700 --> 00:03:19,600
So curable culture has changed. 
You have the most dating 

61
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,400
experience out of all of us know
if that's true. 

62
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,000
I had an interesting sort of 
reconnection with someone after 

63
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,700
the accident actually with my 
High School boyfriend. 

64
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,300
One of my first dates that I 
remember that stands out. 

65
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:37,200
I was so nervous. 
I think I met the guy on Match 

66
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,200
and you're like why we are 42 
the time of the accident. 

67
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,500
So I'm probably it's at least a 
year out and probably 43-44. 

68
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,500
And I went on I started with 
match, I remember getting so 

69
00:03:51,500 --> 00:03:53,800
many messages and being so 
overwhelmed because I'm still 

70
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,300
raising three small kids. 
This one guy? 

71
00:03:56,300 --> 00:03:57,800
I don't know. 
I just thought he was cute and 

72
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,200
he seemed sincere. 
I'm super nervous and I know you

73
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,700
guys can relate like every day. 
You just want to look her best. 

74
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:05,500
Like you were saying, you're 
just like, oh my god, I've got. 

75
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:07,800
What am I going to wear? 
I've got to look amazing for the

76
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,200
state because like, this could 
be the one, right? 

77
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,000
And boy, did I learn that? 
That's not the approach. 

78
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,500
But this was one of the early, 
the early days. 

79
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,300
And one of these hilarious 
moments in the car that I 

80
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:22,100
remember. 
So this guy was Brazilian and 

81
00:04:22,100 --> 00:04:25,100
had a really amazing body 
because I just remember they're 

82
00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:28,600
like photos of him like rock 
climbing or something. 

83
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,200
And Like okay. 
Let's go to dinner with that and

84
00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:35,100
but I did not know how to 
pronounce his name. 

85
00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:41,800
So his name was like j0a you 
like a bunch of towels and I 

86
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,300
would have been like I'm gonna 
do it on the way to the date 

87
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,600
because I was so rushed because 
the kids and everything, I'm on 

88
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,300
the way to the date and I'm 
Googling. 

89
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:56,600
How do you pronounce the name 
and I'm in my car and it's JoJo.

90
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,900
Wow, it's me. 
Oh, wow. 

91
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:04,200
And I'm in, I hope he's not 
listening and I'm in the car 

92
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,600
going show. 
Wow. 

93
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:11,700
Hello. 
João copy the woman who, you 

94
00:05:11,700 --> 00:05:14,900
know, the Google woman who's 
pronouncing it for me and I'm 

95
00:05:14,900 --> 00:05:17,000
just so freaked out. 
I'm like, I'm going to this 

96
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,400
date. 
I can't even browse this guy's 

97
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,300
name. 
So we get to dinner and it turns

98
00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:25,400
out that he's a Jiu-Jitsu and 
structure instructor and he owns

99
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,700
his own Jiu-Jitsu school wowed 
judges. 

100
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,400
Well, Jiu-Jitsu and he really, 
really, really enjoys talking 

101
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,500
about that and that was pretty 
much. 

102
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:39,500
I mean, I'm just like chips and 
salsa Margaritas come keep it 

103
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:45,200
coming and he's just Jiu-Jitsu 
Jiu-Jitsu doing and how is 

104
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,100
business? 
I mean he couldn't have been 

105
00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:50,100
nicer but you know when you know
you know in the first 30 seconds

106
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:53,000
you're like this is not this is 
not think we would have my 

107
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,500
personal not had you at Joelle, 
right? 

108
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:02,800
First dating, I am particular, 
was I know I was raised well by 

109
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,500
my parent's. 
I did not want to hurt this 

110
00:06:04,500 --> 00:06:06,400
man's feelings. 
I didn't want to get up and 

111
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,800
leave course if that was now I 
might have been like ooh Mercy 

112
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,900
phone call, I'm right, like I'm 
out but this is one of the first

113
00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:15,200
dates. 
I sit through the meal learned 

114
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:21,400
all about Jiu-Jitsu and I just 
buy the whole meal we had dinner

115
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,500
and then we go down to the valet
I guess, which is, you know, 

116
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:28,700
downstairs because of ever been 
there and there's the ballet. 

117
00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:34,700
Is standing there and this guy 
just shoves his tongue down, my 

118
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:40,100
throat in front of the mouth. 
Know what she looks like, trying

119
00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:41,800
to make eye contact with the 
ballet. 

120
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:43,800
Help me. 
Yes. 

121
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,700
Like what do U do dis just power
through guy. 

122
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:53,400
Um, I was so thrown and I was so
like just what a disaster, you 

123
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,800
know, I mean, there was nothing 
wrong with him, he was kind and,

124
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,100
you know, but I was so taken 
aback by having just like a 

125
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:03,800
complete. 
Stranger mouth on my mouth. 

126
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,600
It was just, it was a lot. 
It was a lard like that first 

127
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,500
time when you're his somebody 
and you're like, I haven't 

128
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:14,300
kissed anybody and since I was 
19, well, Holly, this is the 

129
00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:17,600
longest to start dating. 
I waited three years, I think. 

130
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,800
And you waited what five. 
Yeah, that's a long time and you

131
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,800
just weren't ready. 
Well, in the first few years I 

132
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,500
was like, I'm never going to 
date anyone and my friend, my 

133
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:31,800
married friends. 
We'd go out in the, okay, let us

134
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,100
download the apps and let's take
your picture now. 

135
00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:36,500
They think it's all fun, so much
fun. 

136
00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:42,500
Yeah, and it drove me crazy. 
And then it was right after the 

137
00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:47,800
five-year Mark. 
I met someone not set up, but 

138
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,800
just happened to be with friends
and they had a single guy 

139
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,400
friend, this is not already 
named. 

140
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,000
Nope. 
And that, I mean, we just, you 

141
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,300
know, Add fun and went out for a
friend's birthday. 

142
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:03,600
He gave you attention, he gave 
you some attention. 

143
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,300
I mean kind of, but I woke up 
the next morning. 

144
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,300
I mean, you know, everybody had 
gone home and I woke up the next

145
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:22,400
day except for him. 
I mean, but I woke up and I was 

146
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,900
like, well, he was kind of cute,
maybe I could date. 

147
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:28,700
There's a story that she's not 
telling you the guy. 

148
00:08:28,900 --> 00:08:32,400
That she kissed that night. 
I did not kiss him. 

149
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,600
Oh no, I found in no, but you're
interrupting. 

150
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,500
My, we were and that. 
But the funny thing is, is that 

151
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,700
before she ever met this 
particular person, I had gone 

152
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:48,800
out on a date. 
With this particular person. 

153
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:54,300
I met on Bumble and went out on 
a date did not. 

154
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:57,500
It was the weirdest date I think
I've ever had in my entire life.

155
00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:01,000
It did not go well, As soon as I
got to the car, I went delete. 

156
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,000
So I called up Holly and said, 
would you go walking with me 

157
00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:09,600
today and so we're walking 
around town Lake and all, but 

158
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,900
that person comes walking the 
opposite way and I said, do not 

159
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:14,700
turn your head. 
Do not turn your head and that's

160
00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:17,000
how dare he is. 
Of course, she turns her head 

161
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,300
and she forgotten about that 
day. 

162
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,700
I didn't forget he stopped and 
taco. 

163
00:09:21,700 --> 00:09:25,000
No no, no, no. 
So kept going. 

164
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,400
But the funny thing is then 
flash-forward. 

165
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,100
She didn't remember what he Like
us. 

166
00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:33,300
It was that it was 2 seconds 
long and then she proceeded to 

167
00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:34,700
run into him. 
He was friends with some of her 

168
00:09:34,700 --> 00:09:37,300
friends and I knew people who 
knew him too. 

169
00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:39,400
So that's why it's even weirder 
still. 

170
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,100
That's a goddamn guy. 
That's the guy who didn't date 

171
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:45,400
either. 
Austin's, too. 

172
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,100
Small my turn. 
That's not go Holly. 

173
00:09:48,700 --> 00:09:55,500
No, I never dated this guy like 
he is just the guy that sparked 

174
00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:57,900
an interest in dating and 
dating. 

175
00:09:58,300 --> 00:10:03,600
So Then fast forward, y'all came
over and did my photo shoot and 

176
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:10,500
I got on the apps and it's been 
like just so much fun but I 

177
00:10:10,508 --> 00:10:13,900
don't want to dissuade people 
who are listening you few little

178
00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:16,300
bit of fun. 
No, I have had fun. 

179
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:21,200
It's her and this was her here. 
Do it's been a year and I am not

180
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,000
where I thought I would be right
in a year like that. 

181
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,400
That is a little bit 
disappointing because I thought 

182
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,300
I would, I don't know. 
Be happier right now. 

183
00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:32,300
You thought you would be in a 
relationship? 

184
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:33,700
Maybe? 
Yeah. 

185
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:39,600
Well, because this is the truth.
None of us really thought about.

186
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,100
You didn't have to think about 
it the first time, you know, we 

187
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:48,500
were young and in 1970s and then
you and then we all looked out 

188
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:50,400
and marry the loves of our 
lives. 

189
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,800
Far was set really high. 
Yeah, I think I think the real 

190
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,600
problem and the minute you get 
on that day. 

191
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,400
You're like, oh Oh no. 
This is not even close. 

192
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,800
Just naughty. 
I also dated so much on the 

193
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,100
front end. 
I wasn't 19. 

194
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:09,200
I was older when I got married 
and so it really bothered me 

195
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,100
that here I am again. 
Are you kidding me? 

196
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:15,100
I played that card. 
I played it a long time, and had

197
00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:17,000
a lot of fun and I had a lot of 
fun. 

198
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,500
It was yeah, I was not the type 
that was wanting to get married 

199
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:22,400
and have babies. 
I mean, it took a long time for 

200
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,200
me to get around to that, they 
were not only a met Oliver that 

201
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,700
I was like okay this is a guy 
could Want to live without him 

202
00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:32,600
and my dad said, that's how you 
know, I did not. 

203
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:34,700
I knew I couldn't live without 
him. 

204
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,600
How long were had you been a 
widow before you got engaged? 

205
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:42,700
It was three years ago when I 
first started dating, okay? 

206
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:46,100
And I'd only gone out on a 
couple of dates when I met 

207
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,000
somebody on Match. 
It took I think we didn't get 

208
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,900
engaged until like a year and a 
half in or it was over a year 

209
00:11:52,900 --> 00:11:55,900
before we got engaged. 
And what was that? 

210
00:11:55,900 --> 00:11:59,000
Because I have a friend right 
now who's a widow and Over a 

211
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,900
short period of time. 
Should dated a lot? 

212
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,600
And then she got engaged. 
And she actually got married 

213
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,800
and, and she's like, I think I 
thought he was gonna take away 

214
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,600
the grief. 
It did for a little while, take 

215
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,900
away. 
But it was never my intention to

216
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:15,500
find someone to get married to. 
I have to be clear about that. 

217
00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:19,300
That was, I don't know that I do
now. 

218
00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:21,200
I mean, I don't know. 
And just to be clear. 

219
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,300
She didn't end up marrying that 
I the main thing to say is I was

220
00:12:25,700 --> 00:12:30,500
very confused and it was Years 
in, I hadn't gone out with many 

221
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:33,400
people. 
He's a very nice person, very 

222
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,500
nice person, nothing about him, 
that's the thing. 

223
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:40,600
It wasn't about him, it wasn't 
anything about that life. 

224
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,100
If I finally realized all these 
years later, it really had more 

225
00:12:43,100 --> 00:12:46,800
to do with timing. 
It has a lot to do with what. 

226
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,500
I don't know. 
It's tough. 

227
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:51,300
What? 
Work you've done on yourself to?

228
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:53,800
Yes, where you were back then is
not where you are now. 

229
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,600
My God, even in my darkest hour 
now didn't even come close. 

230
00:12:58,700 --> 00:13:02,000
Close because I was using it at 
the beginning to dating just so 

231
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,500
that I didn't have to feel such 
pain. 

232
00:13:03,500 --> 00:13:05,900
Any more of them over it. 
I thought I cannot bend this 

233
00:13:05,900 --> 00:13:08,100
attraction for me. 
It was just like let me just get

234
00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:10,600
out there. 
Yeah let me have it like a night

235
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,800
out because you know you do, you
can do girls nights out. 

236
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,100
We've talked about that, can be 
super-fun. 

237
00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:18,300
You could do a lot of girls 
nights out, you can get thrown 

238
00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:21,300
in with divorced women, and then
you just kind of feel like a 

239
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:24,300
fish out of water there because 
it's not the same experience and

240
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:26,200
you miss affection. 
You just that's what people 

241
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,100
don't want to say you. 
Miss having you want to be Yeah,

242
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:31,600
affection. 
And you know, snuggling and all 

243
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,600
of that stuff so it was good for
a little while until I think 

244
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,400
that's what I realized about. 
The marriage thing is that it 

245
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,200
it's been many more years after 
that that it's taken to. 

246
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,800
I think it was just like a year 
ago that I finally feel like. 

247
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,000
Even though my life right now is
not really easy, I've got no 

248
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,200
family issues and my kids going 
to leave. 

249
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:56,400
It's and it's been one of the 
toughest things that are 

250
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,200
happening around me. 
But I'm more solid than I've 

251
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,300
ever been because I have the 
tools in my toolbox that I 

252
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:07,600
learned through grief, you know,
therapy and EMDR and but the 

253
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,900
other is that I finally realized
that. 

254
00:14:10,700 --> 00:14:14,000
I'm okay. 
Yeah, I'm okay alone. 

255
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,800
You're okay, if you're by 
yourself or I don't love it. 

256
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,700
I don't love it. 
It's not ideal because I am a 

257
00:14:19,700 --> 00:14:22,600
partnered person. 
I like having somebody in my 

258
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:27,400
life but meaning I'm okay. 
I'm not freaking out about it, 

259
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,800
I'm not Even so, you know that 
I'm sad about it. 

260
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,200
It's more. 
I just accepted it. 

261
00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:35,800
I think that's when something 
amazing is going to be around 

262
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,000
the globe. 
That's what old Vasquez said, 

263
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,400
right? 
Yeah, said, what if, and I think

264
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,900
there's a possibility that when 
writer is gone because I tend to

265
00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:45,900
we all we've talked about this 
Kira. 

266
00:14:45,900 --> 00:14:49,500
I know. 
She cared text like a dude, the 

267
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:52,400
girl does not would not want to 
talk on the phone. 

268
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,300
She does not wear. 
It's very hot. 

269
00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:58,100
Like a dude I do text like a 
dude, I don't have a lot of time

270
00:14:58,100 --> 00:15:01,600
to like I think that's part of 
indulge in emotional but I yeah 

271
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,400
I'm not I'm not a big long 
winded, text her, right? 

272
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,600
But I think I like to line where
Ryder says I am like one. 

273
00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:10,100
I've tend to do like what a lot 
of men do. 

274
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:12,900
They pour in all their energy 
into one thing? 

275
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,400
Women tend to like do 50 million
things at one time which I mean 

276
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,600
I have to do that, I can't focus
on just one thing at a time, but

277
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,000
I'm not happy there. 
I pretend to pour all my energy 

278
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,300
and I think I did that with 
Ryder. 

279
00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:27,100
I only have one kid. 
You guys have several, so I 

280
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:30,100
think that's easier for me to do
We were laughing and saying one 

281
00:15:30,100 --> 00:15:33,300
kid is ignored. 
We don't have the energy to give

282
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:35,700
put all of our energy into all 
of the kids. 

283
00:15:35,700 --> 00:15:41,000
It's so you recognize now that 
once Riders gone you will prop 

284
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,900
it. 
I do feel you're open to it now 

285
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:45,900
because I think you said like 
I'm now I'm ready I can see 

286
00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:47,800
myself getting out there and you
even did get on it. 

287
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,200
Some the dating app. 
Yeah well I've definitely done 

288
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,800
that at it over. 
I've been on over 50 First 

289
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,300
Dates. 
Like that movie? 

290
00:15:54,300 --> 00:15:57,900
Yeah. 50 First Dates but it's a 
gift and a curse that I read 

291
00:15:57,900 --> 00:16:00,700
things very quickly. 
Quickly, I know within warp 

292
00:16:00,700 --> 00:16:03,100
speed like how you did on your 
end and how you leave. 

293
00:16:03,100 --> 00:16:06,100
Because I would be like, here, 
where I'm staying for the dinner

294
00:16:06,100 --> 00:16:10,300
and I'm like, please it could 
there be like an earthquake or 

295
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:13,900
some of the always kind of on a 
fire. 

296
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,200
They're having their people to, 
I'm always kind, but I'd and I 

297
00:16:17,208 --> 00:16:21,500
don't lead them on either kind, 
but they get mad. 

298
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:24,000
Like, I had one guy that after 
the date. 

299
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,400
I went home and I just said, you
know, you spend hours trying to 

300
00:16:27,408 --> 00:16:30,200
think of the perfect. 
Justice and and I was like it 

301
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,200
was great to meet you but I just
don't think it's a fit best of 

302
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,900
luck out there whatever and he 
literally got so mad he's 

303
00:16:37,900 --> 00:16:42,000
rapid-fire texting me. 
Why did you waste my time? 

304
00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:45,100
What why would you even sit 
there for that long? 

305
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:49,200
If you knew that it wasn't a 
thing and I'm like I am so glad 

306
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,400
that I'm never going to do you 
respond to that. 

307
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,700
I don't think so. 
I know I don't think I can to 

308
00:16:54,700 --> 00:16:58,100
block some some guys that. 
Yeah you know but but I did 

309
00:16:58,100 --> 00:17:00,600
learn After I learned that it 
was worse. 

310
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,200
If I was nice, if I gave hope. 
Yeah, I never ghosted anybody. 

311
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:10,300
But I definitely learned how to 
learn how to be more direct and 

312
00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:12,300
honest. 
Well, I had one that was 

313
00:17:12,300 --> 00:17:13,900
directed on hurt. 
Its feelings. 

314
00:17:14,300 --> 00:17:17,500
He told me what you said and 
hurtful and the whole time I was

315
00:17:17,500 --> 00:17:23,000
with me, he was gay. 
He was a no doubt in my mind. 

316
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,599
He was a life coach. 
I think he saw a widow that he 

317
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:31,500
was going to Little Widow and 
then he got there at the bar. 

318
00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:36,300
Realize I'm not some Wallflower 
and I think he was a little bit 

319
00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:40,500
like, oh, she's a lot but at the
same time I got tickled when he 

320
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:42,400
sent that. 
I was like and he's still out 

321
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,800
there by the way. 
Still not a mold photos. 

322
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:51,200
Wow this is like 10 but he's on 
the dating app as a heterosexual

323
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:56,400
males and he is, he is not what 
about social apps? 

324
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,500
Do you say that? 
Do you have it out there? 

325
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,500
That you're a widow. 
No, I didn't. 

326
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:06,100
But then I had to have like, 
right after I would do the thing

327
00:18:06,100 --> 00:18:09,200
where I would get on for like a 
month and go on a couple of 

328
00:18:09,208 --> 00:18:11,700
dates and they'll be like, I'm 
not ready and then I would get 

329
00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:14,800
off for several months and then 
I get back on and on. 

330
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:18,400
Yeah, so in your bio I didn't 
have it. 

331
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,900
But there were moments because 
especially in the beginning, I 

332
00:18:20,900 --> 00:18:23,600
was talking. 
Well like Hunter's parents are 

333
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:28,000
still living and they are close 
by and I call them my in-laws. 

334
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,200
So, I'm sitting down to dinner 
or drinks or whatever with this 

335
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,100
guy and he's talking, we were 
just talking about what we were 

336
00:18:35,108 --> 00:18:36,700
doing. 
And I was like, oh yesterday, I 

337
00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:39,800
was out of my in-laws and blah, 
blah blah, and he made a joke 

338
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,900
like, oh yeah. 
I go over to my in-laws all the 

339
00:18:41,900 --> 00:18:45,200
time too. 
And I was like, oh, I'm sorry, I

340
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,300
need to give you a little piece 
of information. 

341
00:18:48,300 --> 00:18:50,500
I'm not divorced. 
I'm a widow. 

342
00:18:50,500 --> 00:18:53,900
So, they are like, still my 
in-laws. 

343
00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:56,800
I don't know what I should say. 
And then, he felt terrible. 

344
00:18:57,300 --> 00:19:00,000
And also I kind of I've gone 
back and forth, I put it in my 

345
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,700
bio and then I've taken it out 
and then I'll put it in 

346
00:19:02,700 --> 00:19:06,000
sometimes it comes out and I and
with me it usually would just 

347
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,600
come out in the texting like, 
how long have you been divorced?

348
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,200
Right? 
And then I was always up front 

349
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,000
about it. 
Sure, but I did realize recently

350
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,400
that my current boyfriend when 
we first met, we have been 

351
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:21,100
texting for a while and he's 
claims that he didn't know, I 

352
00:19:21,100 --> 00:19:25,200
guess he knew, but he didn't 
know the circumstances may be 

353
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,900
under. 
Now he claims he didn't know 

354
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:29,000
something. 
I don't Widow. 

355
00:19:29,500 --> 00:19:32,500
When did he find out on our 
first date last year? 

356
00:19:32,500 --> 00:19:37,600
But when does he answered? 
And I on our first date he says 

357
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:41,100
it was when it was a few texts 
before you when I mean for a 

358
00:19:41,108 --> 00:19:46,400
couple of weeks I want to stay 
at the you have at least see or 

359
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,700
know I put 10 on your bio. 
Yeah, well on Match you have to 

360
00:19:50,900 --> 00:19:53,600
he does. 
So I thought you had to select 

361
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,200
divorced man. 
It's been so long that the first

362
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,200
the one that I was engaged to 
that's how I met him that I 

363
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,100
didn't. 
Do match match felt to open like

364
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:05,400
too much in there too many 
emails and great over wedding. 

365
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,200
Not like magic. 
I did just get back on it 

366
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,100
because I got off of it for a 
long time. 

367
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,700
I say a long time, it's only 
been a year, not even a year, 

368
00:20:15,900 --> 00:20:21,800
but I met a guy on Match that I 
liked and I kept seeing him 

369
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,300
again on Match even though you'd
already met, we'd already 

370
00:20:25,300 --> 00:20:29,500
matched and met. 
And he kept showing up So I just

371
00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:32,400
got off of it for. 
That's the worst part about 

372
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,000
match to me. 
And in Mumble you can't do that 

373
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,500
once your match with them. 
There's no you can't tell when 

374
00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:39,700
they're on or not. 
I mean that's a little that's 

375
00:20:39,700 --> 00:20:42,800
what I don't like about matches.
You can tell that's not. 

376
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,000
It can be hurtful when you 
haven't heard back from them and

377
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,500
you know they've been on or if 
you're dating them and they're, 

378
00:20:47,500 --> 00:20:49,700
you know, they're still out 
there looking and you're kind of

379
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:53,200
thinking they're your person but
one thing as a widow and trying 

380
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,300
to date that I've realized is 
divorce. 

381
00:20:57,300 --> 00:21:00,700
Trauma is very Be different than
Widow trauma. 

382
00:21:00,700 --> 00:21:07,800
We didn't have bad relationships
that we chose to get out of and 

383
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:12,000
they did. 
So I know they got left, they 

384
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,800
got left. 
I mean, that's it ladies. 

385
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:19,200
So so for me it was I actually 
got into a relationship fairly 

386
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,400
quickly. 
It was a friend who was also 

387
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,200
grieving and so we just deeply 
connected. 

388
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,600
It was way too soon. 
Like all of us, we were looking 

389
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:38,000
for a escapes from the pain and 
to have somebody, it just was 

390
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,000
too too hard to resist and I 
just and and you're looking for 

391
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,000
someone to help you like I was, 
at least help me navigate, 

392
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,600
especially Christmas tree like 
the Christmas tree. 

393
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,700
Yeah, you should have got with 
their jeans and a little 

394
00:21:50,900 --> 00:21:53,500
fascinating, though. 
That like, some people like 

395
00:21:53,500 --> 00:21:54,700
right? 
I mean, when they're dead, 

396
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:56,100
you're free to go date. 
All right? 

397
00:21:56,100 --> 00:21:58,400
Where's no Josh that right way 
but it's interesting. 

398
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:02,000
Esta NG that, that people like I
was grubs like Holly. 

399
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,600
I was so grossed out of the 
thought of being with anyone. 

400
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,900
It took three years wasn't like,
I made a conscious decision 

401
00:22:08,100 --> 00:22:13,200
although I did, I do remember 
talking to a friend early on and

402
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,600
they were like, do you think 
you'll ever get married again? 

403
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,600
And I said, absolutely. 
I have no doubt that I'm going 

404
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,500
to meet somebody great. 
And then I'm going to get 

405
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:23,800
married again because I have so 
much love to give and I'm really

406
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,100
good at it. 
Now cut to five and a half years

407
00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:30,700
later. 
And now I'm not so sure now. 

408
00:22:30,700 --> 00:22:33,600
I'm like, I don't know. 
I mean it's not easy to meet 

409
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:38,500
people and then like we but all 
said they have big shoes to fill

410
00:22:38,500 --> 00:22:42,900
and I try very hard to not put 
Hunter on a pedestal, he was not

411
00:22:42,900 --> 00:22:45,700
perfect. 
We had our own issues, being 

412
00:22:45,700 --> 00:22:48,000
married for 23 years or 
whatever. 

413
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,700
But I, I want everything that 
Hunter gave me and then 

414
00:22:51,700 --> 00:22:54,600
everything that he didn't, which
is unrealistic. 

415
00:22:54,700 --> 00:22:56,900
So I have to reprioritize my 
stuff. 

416
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,200
I can't remember what. 
My point was going to be guitar 

417
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,400
for the guys. 
I've talked to your boyfriend, 

418
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,900
get him. 
We all were talking to him at 

419
00:23:04,900 --> 00:23:07,400
your birthday party. 
Your 50th birthday party, and 

420
00:23:07,700 --> 00:23:11,200
he's such a good guy and he 
looks at you like the sun rises 

421
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,600
and sets on your head. 
I mean, he's just and it does, 

422
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,800
right? 
But he's a sweetheart but I feel

423
00:23:16,900 --> 00:23:21,900
I feel for people like him 
because it is hard to step into 

424
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,300
the Widow world. 
I mean, you know, divorcees, I 

425
00:23:25,308 --> 00:23:28,100
think they in that way, dating 
they have it easier because 

426
00:23:28,100 --> 00:23:30,900
they're King to forget their 
gifts. 

427
00:23:30,900 --> 00:23:34,700
Yeah, they don't have pictures 
up there, not remit 

428
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,200
commemorating birthdays or 
anniversaries and stuff. 

429
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,600
So there's a lot of trauma 
bonding and divorce. 

430
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,900
I think a lot of people get 
divorced and then they trauma 

431
00:23:41,900 --> 00:23:45,600
Bond over their divorce or their
ex because they have they have 

432
00:23:45,608 --> 00:23:47,800
that in common, right? 
And they're hashing that out. 

433
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:52,800
And I mean, I dated a couple men
who were either, which I would 

434
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,600
never do again, separated or 
newly divorced and they're still

435
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,100
processing their divorce. 
And I felt like a therapist, you

436
00:24:00,108 --> 00:24:04,700
know, like I was basically 
holding their hand through which

437
00:24:04,700 --> 00:24:07,300
I initially wanted to be 
supportive and was like, oh, 

438
00:24:07,300 --> 00:24:09,600
that's awful that she did that 
or she did this. 

439
00:24:09,900 --> 00:24:12,300
And then later, I came to 
realize, that's not really fair 

440
00:24:12,300 --> 00:24:16,400
to this woman that I don't even 
know, like, how is that fair to 

441
00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:20,300
their ex-wife or their 
soon-to-be ex-wife or the mother

442
00:24:20,300 --> 00:24:22,600
of their children? 
And we don't have possibly 

443
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,400
understand because now you're 
only getting one side and I 

444
00:24:25,408 --> 00:24:29,700
mean, I learned so much actually
through Dating different people.

445
00:24:29,700 --> 00:24:33,700
I learned a lot about just 
relationships in general 

446
00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:37,900
relationships, that, you know, 
didn't look like mine and that 

447
00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:41,100
helped me hone. 
Really what I was looking for in

448
00:24:41,100 --> 00:24:43,300
a partner. 
I knew it wasn't going to be a 

449
00:24:43,300 --> 00:24:48,100
replica of Frank or what I had, 
but it did help me shape my 

450
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:51,100
values a little bit more. 
And like, what I really was 

451
00:24:51,100 --> 00:24:53,500
looking for at that time of my 
life and, you know, now dating 

452
00:24:53,500 --> 00:24:55,700
in my 40s as opposed to my 20s, 
right? 

453
00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:59,100
What we want now is very 
different than what we Wanted or

454
00:24:59,100 --> 00:25:03,800
needed in our 20s or 30s. 
Like I don't need a good. 

455
00:25:03,900 --> 00:25:06,700
I mean I want somebody who will 
be kind of my kids and stuff but

456
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,000
he doesn't need to be a 
quote-unquote, great, father, 

457
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,600
because he's not the father that
was The Grieving thing that I 

458
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,800
thought about the other day that
was really sad because I met up 

459
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:22,500
with a, my old roommate and La 
contacted me out of the blue was

460
00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:23,900
in town for business. 
And he was. 

461
00:25:24,100 --> 00:25:27,200
And that came up. 
He said that has to be really 

462
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,600
hard, and I said that One of the
hardest parts. 

463
00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:31,400
He's never going to have a 
stepdad. 

464
00:25:31,700 --> 00:25:34,200
Even if I marry, that's not 
going to be a step to know. 

465
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,700
It'll just be like, scarl felt. 
Yeah, we'll just for Wendell. 

466
00:25:37,700 --> 00:25:38,800
What? 
It'll just be Wendell. 

467
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,400
He'll just who are, who'd Nevel 
Nevel. 

468
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,400
I'll share one quick story that 
hopefully you guys can learn 

469
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:47,700
from that are listening out 
there. 

470
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:51,900
I'm starting to date, and I'm 
talking with friends who have 

471
00:25:51,900 --> 00:25:54,100
been dating. 
And one of the first things they

472
00:25:54,100 --> 00:25:59,600
tell me is that everyone has 
herpes She has her Pious and I'm

473
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,200
like, what? 
And they're like, yes everyone 

474
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,500
has herpes and I'm like, okay, 
everyone has herpes. 

475
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,600
So I'm going down the dating 
path and that's in the back of 

476
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,400
my head, right? 
All right, so I start dating 

477
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:16,500
this guy, we get intimate and 
then I go away for spring break.

478
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:23,100
I get blisters in my mouth and 
my brain starts going insane. 

479
00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:27,300
I'm like, I have herpes, I'm 
balling and so, I called this 

480
00:26:27,300 --> 00:26:30,800
guy because I was so, Worked up 
and I had worked myself up into 

481
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,800
such a frenzy. 
I love to be here. 

482
00:26:33,900 --> 00:26:35,900
Good person. 
I was like, I want to be a good 

483
00:26:35,900 --> 00:26:38,200
person. 
I need to tell him in my sister 

484
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,600
was like, please don't say 
anything. 

485
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,500
Please. 
Don't do this to yourself. 

486
00:26:42,500 --> 00:26:45,700
You are overreacting, you're a 
weirdo, stop. 

487
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:47,900
And I was like, I have to tell 
him. 

488
00:26:47,900 --> 00:26:51,500
I just have to tell him and PS 
at the same time. 

489
00:26:51,700 --> 00:26:55,500
He was sick with covid, but I 
didn't know he was, you know, 

490
00:26:55,508 --> 00:26:57,500
sick and I'm like it's not 
covid. 

491
00:26:57,500 --> 00:27:00,800
You guys it's her. 
He's like, somehow I had worked 

492
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:05,600
myself, it is such a state and I
called him and I just blurted 

493
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,100
out. 
I think we have herpes and he 

494
00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:12,800
was like, what when he had been 
in a long-term marriage, 

495
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,000
whatever. 
And it was so uncomfortable, and

496
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,000
so horrifying, and I'm balling 
on the phone and he's like, and 

497
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,600
we had just started like dating,
you know, this wasn't like a 

498
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,000
year relationship. 
Anything. 

499
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:28,300
And I get off the phone with him
and I'm just so horrifying. 

500
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:33,800
I'd and then the blister went 
away, and he was fine. 

501
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,600
And then I see this the 
situation for what it was, and I

502
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,500
had talked about make one 
mountain out of a molehill. 

503
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:43,800
Didn't know I did, but you do go
get tested. 

504
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,700
But also, this is another weird 
thing apparently, even the 

505
00:27:48,700 --> 00:27:51,300
testing isn't clear. 
So even though it came back and 

506
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:55,200
it said, I didn't have herpes, I
still was like, well, is this 

507
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,300
even can I even believe? 
I mean, you, your, you go. 

508
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,900
Go insane. 
But the overthinking boy. 

509
00:28:00,900 --> 00:28:05,400
And I humiliated myself with 
this guy humiliated myself ever 

510
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,300
heard from him. 
Again, there's well together 

511
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:10,900
we're still dating and we both 
have. 

512
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:18,900
This thing is everywhere. 
I was on a date and we're he had

513
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:22,300
a salad and I was like and I was
like, oh can I have? 

514
00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:25,200
And he was like, here have a 
bite of the salad and I said, oh

515
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,300
can I have some salad? 
Don't worry, I don't have 

516
00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:31,600
herpes. 
He said, oh, actually I do 

517
00:28:32,700 --> 00:28:35,000
herpes. 
And I was like, no, that's all 

518
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,800
well, not everybody. 
But I'm just saying and by the 

519
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,300
way, it should be. 
So and I had made a joke, you 

520
00:28:40,300 --> 00:28:43,200
have a bite of the solid. 
I did have, I was like, I think 

521
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,700
it was the fork was kind of 
like, well it's there's no 

522
00:28:45,700 --> 00:28:49,300
blisters than it, doesn't 
matter, it's not contagious, but

523
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:52,900
it's not even a big deal, but I 
had made it such a big deal and 

524
00:28:52,900 --> 00:28:56,400
then for this episode I know and
then the guy was like, why do 

525
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,400
you keep saying herpes? 
Nobody says, Has herpes like 

526
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,000
they just say, fever blister. 
Whatever side of these over the 

527
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,300
Sabbath. 
Your Widow. 

528
00:29:04,300 --> 00:29:09,200
Do I have heard it was the 
worst? 

529
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,400
That's the worst story of my 
dating. 

530
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,800
Is that hole? 
That's pretty bad. 

531
00:29:13,900 --> 00:29:16,200
You have to say yours tops. 
Anything I've ever. 

532
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,600
It's been my gosh. 
That phone call. 

533
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,600
I had worked myself up and then 
just blurted it out. 

534
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,900
He was like, what the hell? 
We have herpes covid. 

535
00:29:24,900 --> 00:29:28,100
He's like, I don't have herpes. 
Why do you think you have her 

536
00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:29,100
be? 
I don't know. 

537
00:29:29,100 --> 00:29:31,700
Maybe you had herpes and you 
didn't know you had herpes and 

538
00:29:31,700 --> 00:29:33,200
then and he was like, are you 
telling? 

539
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,100
Are you blaming me? 
Do you, are you saying that I 

540
00:29:35,108 --> 00:29:36,500
gave? 
And I'm like, are you herpes 

541
00:29:36,500 --> 00:29:37,900
shaming? 
Yeah. 

542
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,100
I'm like, I don't know. 
Oh my God, your balls. 

543
00:29:42,100 --> 00:29:44,600
Yeah, you're too funny. 
And he story. 

544
00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:48,600
Is it glad we're pretty fun. 
Should I edit this out? 

545
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,900
I think that'll get us. 
We're gonna get Spa. 

546
00:29:51,900 --> 00:29:54,300
My God. 
What are you thinking about it? 

547
00:29:54,300 --> 00:29:57,000
It was horrifying bubbling 
match, right? 

548
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Number one, if you have herpes, 
He's, it's no big deal. 

549
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,100
Number two, you don't need to 
say herpes as I keep saying, 

550
00:30:03,300 --> 00:30:07,700
anyway, fever, blisters, all 
right, who hasn't told a funny? 

551
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,600
We have to wrap up with a funny 
date story, who hasn't told a 

552
00:30:10,608 --> 00:30:13,900
funny date story lace. 
Oh yeah, dude, because Holly, 

553
00:30:13,900 --> 00:30:24,500
and I dated the same guy so I 
don't know anything. 

554
00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:30,400
This funny as herpes I'm sorry, 
that Whitney Is I will say, 

555
00:30:30,500 --> 00:30:35,900
like, one little tidbit. 
I took a guy to see to hear 

556
00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:42,200
music and he ended up being kind
of deaf and that was awkward 

557
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,300
kind of. 
Well that's not something, I 

558
00:30:44,300 --> 00:30:48,000
guess you would say a that. 
Now I find out you didn't 

559
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:53,600
disclose and he was hearing 
impaired on the app and I just 

560
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,100
thought it was cute and you guys
all know I love to go see live 

561
00:30:57,100 --> 00:30:58,300
music. 
We live in Austin, Texas. 

562
00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:59,800
Texas. 
It's a fun thing to do. 

563
00:31:00,100 --> 00:31:04,400
So I find this club on the east 
side and the band looks 

564
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:09,500
interesting and we meet there 
and he could read lips and he 

565
00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:12,500
ended up being like a super nice
guy but I mean out talk about 

566
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:14,400
mortification I was just 
mortified. 

567
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,400
And then I think I asked you for
questions like do you like the 

568
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,500
band and you know have you ever 
been here before? 

569
00:31:20,500 --> 00:31:23,400
And it was the music venue and 
he was like, well I can feel the

570
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,300
vibration and I can sort of get 
into it but probably like she 

571
00:31:27,300 --> 00:31:29,100
treated him. 
Lee Fleming. 

572
00:31:29,700 --> 00:31:34,400
Did he have herpes? 
He probably did by the way. 

573
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,300
I just, again need to say. 
It's everybody doesn't matter. 

574
00:31:37,300 --> 00:31:41,100
It's not a big deal. 
I made your favorite word deal 

575
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:42,500
herpes. 
No, I had. 

576
00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:45,900
I had the conversation when I 
went after I started seeing 

577
00:31:45,900 --> 00:31:50,100
someone and I went back to my 
gynecologist and I was like, you

578
00:31:50,100 --> 00:31:53,800
know, I'm widowed and I'm now 
like an intern relationship with

579
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,300
somebody and like what what's 
the panel? 

580
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,500
What are the tests? 
I mean we were, you know, No 

581
00:31:58,500 --> 00:32:00,300
using protection but you just 
never know. 

582
00:32:00,300 --> 00:32:03,000
And I was freaked out too, and 
she was like, you should be 

583
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,200
freaked out their stuff out 
there, right? 

584
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,300
But as you're older, doesn't 
mean it's not like, yeah, but 

585
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:09,700
you shouldn't be freaked out at 
least. 

586
00:32:09,700 --> 00:32:14,500
Pregnancies off the Moss, man. 
Yeah, I had to go back on the 

587
00:32:14,508 --> 00:32:20,300
pill or still, I mean, you had 
to go back on the pill, only 43 

588
00:32:20,300 --> 00:32:22,900
early 40s. 
I mean, I don't want as you're 

589
00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:25,400
still having your period, you 
get to have a baby, I don't know

590
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,400
if you guys know that but 
another tidbit It. 

591
00:32:29,700 --> 00:32:31,400
Birds and the bees. 
Yeah, honey. 

592
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,100
Whoever. 
All right, we're going to wrap 

593
00:32:33,100 --> 00:32:36,200
it up. 
I don't even know how to wrap it

594
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,000
up. 
Thanks for listening. 

595
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:46,600
Should wrap it up Herbie's. 
Try anything wrong with it.
