Intimacy
Relationships encompass more than just romantic feelings and passion. They are characterized by the ability to feel secure and intimate with your partner on all levels. It involves wholeheartedly sharing yourself with another person, forming a deep connection beyond mere infatuation.
Intimacy goes beyond just romantic relationships. Understanding the various levels of intimacy can help you foster deeper connections in all your relationships, not just the romantic ones. Having knowledge about these levels allows you to be more intentional and purposeful when cultivating intimacy with others.
Levels of Intimacy
1 – Safe Communication.
The level of intimacy in everyday communication with strangers is generally low. It's the kind of interaction we often have with people we don't know well, like the casual chat with a supermarket checkout girl or a brief conversation with someone at a retail store.
When it comes to using facts and information in writing, the risk of rejection is minimal or virtually nonexistent. Since personal feelings and opinions are not involved, the content tends to be more objective and less likely to be criticized or disagreed with.
2 – Sharing Other Peoples’ Opinions and Beliefs.
During this stage, we tend to open up and reveal more about ourselves by referencing what others say or believe. This can be done in a subtle manner, such as mentioning what our boss always says or commenting on a recent news event . By doing so, we gauge the other person's reaction and gain further insights into their thoughts and opinions.. When faced with individuals who hold different opinions, it is common to feel uneasy or threatened by potential criticism or rejection. In such situations, it is natural to distance ourselves as a protective response.
3 – Sharing Our Own Personal Opinions and Beliefs.
When we express our thoughts, opinions, and beliefs, there is a certain level of risk involved. It opens us up to vulnerability as others may not agree or understand our perspective. However, if the outcome doesn't align with our expectations, we have the option to acknowledge that we

Speaker 3Perfect. You guys just do amazing work. Yes, I'm serious, I'm highly recommending old soul.
Speaker 1Go in and ask them as the guys for it. They'll know exactly what you're talking about and what you want, because it is fantastic.
Speaker 2Okay, so what it?
Speaker 1was so. Other than these two heroes, let's talk about our hero and our winner of the week.
Whitewater Rafting Rescue Story
Speaker 1So, winner of the week, we celebrate something that has happened in the past or recently and we want them and it's just, it's always good news because people you know, you see so much to just negative and just noise going on in the world and we focus on good stories. People who've done things that are good or made somebody feel better or nice. You know they're winners, that's what we call them. So during a hike on a trip in Fundy National Park, new Brunswick, a group of swimmers have the good fortune of being found by some hikers. That included an off duty police officer who ended up saving their friend from a raging Eddie. Okay.
Speaker 3So what is a raging Eddie?
Speaker 1Well, an Eddie is a is a is an offshoot of a river, that kind of swirls on the side there, but okay, but most of the time, and again, it's just my understanding. I've been whitewater rafting numerous times.
Speaker 1You get stuck on the side You're certainly typically in Eddie's more calm place, but apparently this one was not okay. The officer, bruce Lake, was exploring Lavority Falls area with his wife and friends and, though being hailed as a hero, he was initially told that everything was okay. Thankfully, piercing the veil of the social contract, one of Lake's friends said that he, a woman out in the water, appeared to be exhausted and might need help, and that's when the whole party watched her disappear under the foam. After making a short lived attempt to return to shore, she was kind of stuck between these two little waterfalls. Late, recalled, she immediately went underneath and came back up again, right near the rock, and then grabbed the rock and held on. So she was obviously scared.
Speaker 3So she was hanging on for dear life.
Speaker 1Yes, hanging on for dear life in this rushing Eddie of water. It was probably her first whitewater rafting trip. You never know what's I'm gonna drunk Eddie.
Speaker 7Dave could have been.
Speaker 3Stop that hey you don't know me. My name's Eddie. You don't know me.
Speaker 1Dave Brochia Good name, by the way Dave. Dave, one of Lake's friends who described the events as something out of a bad movie after the woman disappeared a second time but was not reemerging, and that's when the aptly named Luke made his move, jumping into the water and swimming to the rock to help. So, luke, dovid, eddie, he did and saved who and saved the lady, the lady that was been sucked in by drunk Eddie.
Speaker 7That took a story.
Speaker 1You're asking me questions, man.
Speaker 7I got to go back and I got to read all these. Man, you got to remember the names.
Speaker 1So, reaching the rock, the water was deeper than he expected, so even even Luke was a little shook up.
Speaker 6Don't mention no names.
Speaker 1Everything will be easy and simple and the rescue devolved to essentially waving his arms and legs about to see if he could touch her and, as fortune would have it, his hand brushed her arm. Oh good, grabbing her arm and swimming like mad, they approached their friends. I pushed her towards the shore, her friend got her arm and then I lost touch with her. I was getting sucked back in to the exact same spot and only for her to turn around and she reached her arm and grabbed my arm and we got pulled in.
Speaker 4together they got rescued each other.
Speaker 6Oh shit, when they got near the edge, they saved each other.
Speaker 1That's what they did, yes absolutely.
Speaker 3It's like Romeo and Juliet. That's Dave. No, no, no, because you know what Romeo died.
Speaker 6I'm sorry, yeah, but Julia died after. Well, yeah, but Romeo died first. The point is, they're both dead.
Speaker 8And neither of these people died. That's the great story. This is not Romeo and Juliet.
Speaker 1Sorry, guys, you're all good, we're having fun man.
Speaker 7It's a comedy. What do you want?
Speaker 1Dave Brochia is a professional photographer and snapped a photo of the rescue to honor the savior. Describe that after asking the Tural police officer if he could have permission to do so. Their response was like utter disbelief, which was interpreted as a man feeling he did what anyone would have done in the situation. So apparently the police didn't approve of this action, so that this hero did.
Speaker 3So Romeo saved Juliet, juliet saved Romeo, and nobody died. Yeah, nobody died, nobody gave a shit.
Speaker 7Yeah, that's bad. The cops didn't care. They didn't want to approve of it.
Speaker 1We don't we don't approve of your rescue, even though you're both alive. But he rescued the woman, the woman rescued him. They're both alive, all right, great story.
Speaker 3So have either of you, gentlemen, been whitewater rafting?
Speaker 6Yes. I don't remember no yes, yes, I did All right class four class four class five class three to be honest with you.
Speaker 3I don't know what class was it. All right, class five is. I'm going to eff and die.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 6You know, what.
Speaker 1And the trips we took were always and I'll tell you my whitewater rafting history we went for we used to have this guy's trip went down to West Virginia, to the Gauley River. They put you in right at the dam. Were thousands of pounds of water come flying out of that dam? They shove you right in there and it's class five plus rapids all the way down the river and that's.
Speaker 3I'm going to die because it's coming at you. I'm like, how am I going to put this boat with seven other people in it through this godlike water spit, trying to dodge rocks Correct.
Speaker 1And of course you're always concerned. I mean just seeing it is one thing. But then when, the when, when the guide says if you go in the water, do not leave your feet on down, don't leave your feet dragging, because you will get stuck and drown, because your foot will get entrapped in that water and a rock, and a rock, yes, because there's so many rocks in there and it's like you think.
Speaker 1I'm going to think of that if I'm in in the midst of this white tornado swirling around, but no, it's, it's it is pretty intense and I did go over a couple of times during some of these trips and it's not, it's not fun.
Speaker 3I will share a story with you, but not right now. But how did these people, these people, they survived. They're good, yeah, they're alive, they're alive.
Speaker 1They survived, they saved each other.
Speaker 3They saved each other. And who was the guy that saved the lady and who was the lady that saved?
Speaker 1the guy You're killing me? No, I'm not. I'm not reading, I'm asking pointed questions.
Speaker 3Bruce Lake was the, was the wrestler, so that's certain to put us Bruce Lake.
Speaker 1Yeah, Bruce Lake. They made a reference to that in the story that I just read Matt.
Speaker 7I think a Batman story right there, like Bruce Wayne Right.
Speaker 6All right, don't get in DC. The problem is who cares, who save? Who lives their life?
Speaker 1That's all matters right. They're both alive. Yes, so great story. That's our winner of the week.
Speaker 3That's how we did this time. I'm drinking old soul.
Speaker 6Oh, still also.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah. No, I'm still in my old soul. It's, it's, it's, it's good stuff. That's what I'm saying. So, folks, we've been talking about relationships over the past three, four, five episodes, and so you know.
Speaker 6I can tell you a long relationship. I've been there for 20 years. I don't know how. I know how are you why, you're married. I've been there for 20 years, all right, so so back to it.

Oh, this, this, and she did. But you know what she did? She felt a lot better, to be honest. She felt a lot better.
Speaker 7Okay, thanks to me, the asshole that reminded him about the podcast.
Speaker 3Okay, you're not an asshole.
Speaker 7I got his plan, I got his wife out of the house to feel better.
Speaker 6Because you know what. To be honest, wider golfing yeah, she felt a lot better.
Speaker 7Today has been a win-win for me. You know what?
Speaker 3But, but this is all about relationships and there's a lot of things that go into relationships that Dave really is going to dive deep into?
Speaker 6Well, yeah, we are, I tell you. I tell you what relationship is there's number one thing in a relationship is communication.
Speaker 2Ah, I love that. Okay, listen to me, listen to me.
Speaker 6If you have communication with another person. It doesn't matter if you're lover, it doesn't matter if you're partner, it doesn't matter if you're friend, it doesn't matter if you're father, your mother, your brother, your sister. You know what. As long as you have communication, you're going to understand what's going on and a lot of people will think Absolutely.
Speaker 3And Dave back me up. When we hear relationships, we think about spouse partner, but it goes beyond that no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1Family, it's mom, it's dad, kids, it goes with any relationship.
Speaker 6Any kind relationship with anybody.
Speaker 3Anybody, that's what we're going to dig into a little bit.
Speaker 7Anybody you speak to. You have a relationship.
Speaker 1Yes, yes, I have relationships with my customers and I see them once a week.
Speaker 7It's a relationship. Yeah, it's every way possible with the relationship.
Speaker 3Which also, you know what that's a spin we had not thought about is with customers as a business owner. No, no, no, that's a relationship we do.
Speaker 1We really do. And again, communication, honesty, integrity, trust, mutual respect, mutual respect these all go in that. That's exact type of relationship you want with somebody who's a customer.
Speaker 3And welcome to the Motor City. Motor City Hypnotist podcast. Yes absolutely.
Speaker 6Thank you very much for having us.
Speaker 7Thank you here we go. Don't shut me up.
Speaker 1So we ended last episode because we're talking about levels of intimacy. That's what we were talking about last time and we had not quite finished up with that. So I just want to end up on a couple of things and give you some tips, because I wanted to put these in and we just ran out of time last time.
Speaker 3We did, and here's the thing I need to. I need to let these guys know, yes, what this is all about, because we touched on, please, please, I like to know that we touched on intimacy, right.
Speaker 6Yeah, the brain like a chicken asshole. But we touched on my brain controlled by my wife. Sorry to say that.
Speaker 3We touched on intimacy and really and just everything that goes into intimacy. Right, we did, and there were different levels of one through five different levels of intimacy and now we're at the relationship part of intimacy. So it comes down to we're breaking it down to specific topics.
Speaker 1Well, yes, well, and I'll just quickly review that. The levels is safe, communication is first.
Speaker 7That's when you can talk about small talk. Can I say something about intimacy? Yes, sure, the word is is say it. A lot of people take it the wrong way.
Speaker 1Nope, I know exactly what you're saying, because intimacy does not mean sex.
Speaker 7No, but a lot of people assume all it means is sex. Yes, absolutely so when you talk about intimacy. I've ran into this problem again.
Speaker 2I'm married yes 30 years of marriage yes, With my wife intimacy.
Speaker 7When I say intimacy, they automatically assume sex. Yes, yes, but intimacy is a lot deeper than sex.
Speaker 6Absolutely yes. It's like relationship, how you start with your boyfriend and girlfriend. That's what it is. Yes.
Speaker 7To be honest, in my opinion, I think the sexual part of intimacy is a secondary part.
Speaker 1Yes, it's part of it, but it's not the main part, right?
Speaker 7Absolutely. A lot of people take it as just yes, I agree, it means sex.
Speaker 1So we talked about the safe communication. That's when you're first getting to know somebody. You don't share too much because you don't want to be judged. It's just safe communication. Hey, what are you doing, what's going on, what are you watching? That kind of stuff. Then you get into level where you share People's beliefs and opinions and that starts to get a little test the waters a little bit depending on you know, my beliefs might not click with this person's beliefs or opinions and then you share your own beliefs and opinions. That's a little another step where you start to feel, okay, I'm a little little bit more secure in this, where I can share this, that's between, that's between step three and four Roughly yeah, well, no, that was actually three.
Speaker 1Okay, because two is you share other people's opinions about it. I was like hey, my buddy thinks uh you know, my buddy thinks old soul whiskey is crap. Just to get a reaction, you're testing for reactions.
Speaker 1That's what you're doing, right to kind of gauge where you should be. And then you share your own opinions and beliefs and then you say, oh, I think old souls fantastic, I have like five bottles at home and then only, it's well, I'm just saying you're kind of, you're kind of building that bridge I got you. Then you talk about your feelings and experiences. That's when you started getting the details of your life and experiences and and kind of what you feel. So what's step are we at now? We ended on step five, last episode, which is your, our own needs, emotions and desires. That's when you tell somebody what you really want.
Speaker 1Okay, and you're truthful about it, but I want old soul.
Speaker 6Yes, but the literally, but the different is sometimes we're gonna Exprive yourself to see what are you feeling. It's not. What are you feeling is not is about what I'm feeling right now. Gonna understand, okay, what I'm feeling. I'm explaining to you, but it's not mean it's gonna be the same. What are you feeling about everything else? Do you got? I mean, it's different what I feel compare to what do you feel no being a therapist for 30, 30 over 30 years, which gives away my age a little bit here 25 is okay
Speaker 326, that's the old soul talking, yeah, but Dave has a lot of experience with couples who have been married for 20 plus years. When they come to him, it's the last.
Speaker 1Well, typically well, typically, when I see couples in my office, it's, it's and I hate to say it a majority times things are might already be passed the salvageable point, unfortunately, because because they resist and resist and resist, they finally give in and one person is usually out the door at that point, right, which is a shame, because if you did it sooner you could have made now, not always. I'm not saying this is the resolution for everything. I'm just saying that that if you really wanted it to work, you should work on it earlier, not later, right?
Speaker 3But.
Speaker 7but the resolution for you is to make both parties happy, so can you yes, absolutely here for yes, so you said to work on it earlier rather than later. How about if there's resistance? How do you work on it?
Speaker 1Well see, that's the problem. If there's resistance and and here's in, I'll be blunt on this if there's resistance early, that's a red flag, because you already know this person's not willing to work.
Speaker 1So if you're six months into a relationship and your partner doesn't want to work on things, that boom, that there's alarm should go off in your head. Now, if you're 15 years into it and somebody is resistant, then Unfortunately you've missed some steps along the way. There's been a separation, yes, there's been a separation over time that hasn't been addressed. I'm not saying that can't be reunited, but it's a lot more difficult Once that chasm has been created.
Speaker 7Let's start to pass in the.
Speaker 3So, dave, but you're talking to two gentlemen that are entrepreneurs, and yeah they're married in 22 years.
Speaker 1Yeah, no 20 years 20 years 20 years, 20 years, 27 years I was.
Speaker 3God bless you yeah.
Speaker 1God bless you, god bless my wife.
Speaker 6Putting up with me. God bless you guys all. Great Odin's Raven. But it comes to relationships.
Speaker 3It's so important that that, that, that communication stays open. Well, no, and that's the big thing.
Speaker 1When a relationship digress is because you stop talking to one another and I don't mean like hey, what are we doing for dinner? Where do you want to go to eat? Well, you know what? What are you're where you going out? I mean like, like, like. We talked to intimacy, not sexual, but intimate conversation.
Speaker 7I have all during your times and days and emotions.
Speaker 1Yes sometimes it is a mess.
Speaker 3It can get a mess because the, the communication, the relationship, it's not. It's not coming together like you, every so, once in a while, you're on a wavelength right.
Speaker 6And always in a wave, in a big wave, but then that was a huge wave, very, very huge wave.
Speaker 7He's pulling on the surfboard right now.
Speaker 1I'm like here right now and you don't want to be with this person.
Speaker 8No, you've had your limit today. You drink water.
Speaker 1Somebody like that.
Speaker 9They're just gonna boss you around and say but wait wait, how are you gonna wipe a table with this little? It's not even wet.
Speaker 1You don't want to be with this person.
Speaker 3But, but. The problem is when it comes to relationships in the communication that's what we're talking about is you have to be 100% honest the entire time?
Speaker 1Well see, but that's difficult for people.
Speaker 1I will say because when you're, when you're totally honest, you have a fear of rejection. That's the human nature. Nobody wants to be rejected, nobody wants to be like, oh what, I don't like that or no, I don't agree with that, right, and that's the issue with relationships. And I believe, and honestly, and this is what's my opinion of 30 years of clinical experience, I Don't think anyone is ever 100% transparent. No, I don't think anyone has ever. Anyone has ever 100% open. 30 years, yeah, 32 years, 30 years, 30 years don't don't age me, man F you.
Speaker 6But, but, gentlemen, you're talking to no, don't shut me up.
Speaker 3You're talking to a gentleman that's, that has sat down with multiple couples over the years, and I want us to all be open. I had a terrible time trying to communicate with my ex-wife? Yeah, all right, and the fact is I had to Communicate the way I felt I need to get my point across. Okay, and I wasn't good at it, I accept I didn't take this as too easy.
Speaker 1It was like you, no, no, I barely did because it was challenge Dec색 well, the issue of bringing my experience back to you actually Ever Companion.
Speaker 7Yeah, it's the right letter for还.
Speaker 3That would be difficult. Well, let me ask this how? But what was his over here? But when talk to somebody, listen to them, understand where they're coming from and then come back with an appropriate response. Or to communicate better, to understand where to, to get your opinion out as to where you're coming from.
Speaker 1Here's the thing in a relationship, whether it's a marriage relationship, a sibling, a friend, a family member, you're never going to agree on everything. That's just a fact.
Speaker 2And if you expect that, you're going to be disappointed.
Speaker 1That's not how it works, so no so I got a question.
Communication and Perceptions of Alcohol Consumption
Speaker 7Yeah, for you, let me listen for you. Communication. You said it went wrong. Do you think it was a subject of communication where there was already animosity, where you tried to communicate subjects? Like what you were talking about.
Speaker 1She was a subject of what.
Speaker 3I was talking about, yes.
Speaker 7She was talking about. See, that's, that's what I noticed is a big problem. There's a difference in communication and conversation about the same subject. Right, because the point of view is different. What this person thinks this person thinks is right, this person where one person is a different part.
Speaker 3It isn't a different part of their life. Is it different parts, you know?
Speaker 7I love my wife to death. My wife, she doesn't drink, not a drop by alcohol.
Speaker 1Right, right, and you are. You own a liquor store. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 7I have a bourbon collection that spans over 500 bottles.
Speaker 6Nice, he's lying about 800 bottles About 800 bottles. So he lost count when he got to 300.
Speaker 7So I stopped counting when I got married, so so what's your point is taken you know. So like my, like I like my wife. Example is that she's like you know. My family comes over. They see all this liquor. They think you're an alcoholic.
Speaker 2It looks like you're an alcoholic.
Speaker 7Right you drink every day but you don't look like an alcoholic.
Speaker 3So my problem is he's not.
Speaker 7This is a hobby for me, this is my business, boy you know that escalated quickly.
Speaker 9You know I mean that really got out of hand fast.
Speaker 7So the communication point is like I'll tell my wife hey, I'm not an alcoholic. If I was alcoholic, I can't have a collection.
Speaker 3I can't work. No, the bottles would be empty. They'd be empty. I wouldn't work every day.
Speaker 7I wouldn't, I wouldn't put my best foot, but her perception of what she sees right, she assumes, is that well, but but I would suspect and correct me if I'm wrong that she's okay with it, otherwise she wouldn't be there. Well, she's pushes against it. So maybe she's there for love of me to accept it, but then again, maybe she's just saying it to get me to.
Speaker 1Well, well, let me. Let me give you this example, and this is a very minor one. So here to what you're saying in mind.
Speaker 7I feel like she's trying to say it just so I can say, okay, I'll stop drinking, just so she gets her way, yeah, but even you don't drink it's not really see this is you don't drink a lot every single day.
Speaker 6Yeah, there's something in life If you have one drink a day is nothing Right, even if you have two drinks a day, because you know why? Well, I have one or two a day, and there's days I don't have nothing Right.
Speaker 1But then you also have to. You also have to look at where's that cut. Excuse me, where's that coming from? Did this other person who's saying that come from an alcoholic background where they had a?
Speaker 2no use of father or no, or?
Speaker 4zero or somebody who's okay, there's so much, so again there's some fear there.
Speaker 1There's some fear that you that you could be an alcoholic and I think or or or even less, maybe less impactful that it's perception that I can become one I well, or the perception of other people. I don't want other people to think that of you. Yeah, but so in a way it's protected, but in another way it is also unreasonable in a way just because you're feel so is judgmental.
Speaker 7Yeah, you really know who I am.
Speaker 3Right, because other people think this right. Because you're in the industry, that does not mean you are the industry.
Speaker 6Exactly when you have when you have 300, 400, 500 bottles. You're not an alcoholic. No, because you know why you're an alcoholic. They have five bottles. They go in the same day, right? You know what I?
Speaker 7mean.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 7Okay, the difference is an alcoholic can't have by bottles.
Speaker 1We've been doing this for 30 years.
Speaker 8Yes.
Speaker 7And I've seen customers and how.
Speaker 1Oh absolutely so an alcoholic.
Speaker 7An alcoholic has to buy the smallest size possible to control himself Right, and what they do is they buy that smaller size multiple times a day, absolutely. Because, if they buy that larger size, they're going to come back and buy that larger size multiple times a day, just like they buy that smaller size, right.
Speaker 3And next thing, you know they're in dire straits and they can't afford anything and they're putting their family in. You know they're putting everything in jeopardy, right, everything. But what? What you guys do as owners and you have your collections, and I appreciate collections. You have a collection. That means you, and when you have customers that will come in and they'll say, can I try this? You know what, if you like that, what they're going to try, you're like I'll taste it with you. That's where your two drinks come in.
Speaker 6That's what it is. That's what it is. That's the only way.
Speaker 3But then to go back to the communication to your spouses, your wives like listen, I am an owner, I have to take care of customers. This is what I do, but you're not and I know who alcoholics are. I've seen the behavior, Dave. You've seen the behavior.
Speaker 1I have.
Speaker 3And when? When it comes to alcoholics, they are going through a bottle a day. No, no, no.
Speaker 1And I'll say not necessarily, I have to say I've seen it.
Speaker 6They're going through a half pint a day.
Speaker 1Here's the thing. I'm a novice, I don't know.
Speaker 7They're going through what they need to go.
Speaker 1Yes, and that's, and that's my thing. There is no limit. There is no limit and I will agree on that. I've seen it a lot.
Speaker 7If a person has to wake up with, like some people have to wake up the morning, you have a coffee. So if a person has to wake up in the morning and have a shot. He has that shot in the morning. I might not drink all day, but he has to have that shot.
Speaker 1Well, here's the thing, and in my definition again, it's probably not the typical stereotypical definition it's somebody who can't say no to it, yes, and that is the biggest thing. Who can't that? Yeah, and they can't stop doing it.
Speaker 7But the point of the subject that I brought up about this was right. It's, you think, maybe this subject matter of the communication because there might have been animosity behind it from the other party.
Speaker 1Well, it didn't make it worse, but that's the big thing when you can communicate, there's some underlying issue, there's some underlying conflict, there's some underlying animosity that prevents that communication from happening. And that could have developed over a year. It could have developed over 20.
Speaker 7Like there's some things I want to communicate with my wife. I can't because when I bring them up she flares.
Speaker 3Right, you know, and it's that's where the communication comes in, that's where no, that's where the building of a relationship after 13 years, 20 years something and 13 years, the communication will be gone, okay, how?
Speaker 6many understand that that's what it is. And 13 years I've been there. For 20 years he say if it's not there, it'll be okay, but that was 13 years.
Speaker 3Now you're 20 years, so yeah but communication is gone.
Speaker 6The only thing is orders. You know what I have to do this, you have to do this Anybody. That's what he have and that's what it is. There's love, there's cares Okay there's passion. There's everything in there, but it's not what are you going to think about? You know what? That's what I need. I have to get it today.
Speaker 7No, I think what it becomes as the year is going on is more asking to do things and less.
Speaker 1Well, it goes back to expectations. What do I expect you to do compared to what you're?
Speaker 3willing to do, and this is where your experience comes in, dave.
Speaker 1I'm not gonna say the years again, because I don't wanna age 30 years. I'm 57 years old, shut up Matt.
Speaker 6God bless you, but you look 37, not 57. I'm very important.
Speaker 4I have many leatherbound books and my apartment Smells of rich mahogany.
Speaker 3Oh.
Speaker 4Oh.
Speaker 3But it all comes down to the intimacy and how you communicate with your partner, right?
Speaker 1Here's the thing Communication breaks down when there's feelings of resentment, feelings of anger, feelings of frustration, whatever those things are, and if you don't talk about those things, that separation's only gonna increase over time and that could increase. I mean, honestly, I've seen it and, matt, you may relate to this, I'm not pointing you out or anything but over time there's a divergence and it just gets wider and wider and wider until eventually there's no salvaging it 100%.
Speaker 7You just can't do it, it breaks 100% breaks. Yes, no, it just has some of the things.
Speaker 6Okay, how about there is nothing like that out there? You don't have no hate, you don't have no passion with them, or you don't have nothing around you mean like they're your roommate?
Speaker 3almost.
Speaker 6It's like my wife, but I don't have nothing in there. There's no feelings, there is no courage, there is nothing in there. Okay, there's no problems.
Speaker 1Yeah, but I would say so this could be anyone. Then.
Speaker 6Okay, you're right, it could be anyone, it could be a friend. But but yes, what happened? What happened? What happened what? Happened. He's talking about marriage, right.
Speaker 1Well, no, not necessarily. We're talking about intimacy in any relationship.
Speaker 3Your spouse, your friend, your parent, your brother, your sister. It could be fine. Okay, I'm not of that.
Speaker 6Okay, I'll tell you about me. Yeah, I don't care about nothing. You know what nothing is, including yourself? I don't Not even my clue myself. I really don't, because you know why. I'll live for today. I'm gonna face the future. I don't care about what happened yesterday. That's what it is.
Speaker 1So let me ask this question. Okay, if you knew you were gonna die tomorrow, that wouldn't affect you in any way.
Speaker 6I really Don't.
Speaker 3Really.
Speaker 7Have you done it? Do you want my honest opinion?
Speaker 3Yes, Eva, yeah.
Speaker 7I face death.
Speaker 6Yeah, yes, every day we're together.
Speaker 7No, no, no no, no, I spent 45 days in the hospital.
Speaker 6Oh, that's different, that's different.
Speaker 3Was it.
Speaker 6COVID related. No, no, nothing to do with that.
Speaker 7So right now in my life, what I've realized is that I would and this is I don't fear death now anymore. I don't. I fear living an unhappy life.
Speaker 3Yes, okay, see the mentality of the communication the intimacy with your partner, your spouse, your friend, your family member. It takes a lot to walk in and be like I want to live every day like it's my last.
Speaker 7But it doesn't take a lot. It doesn't. It doesn't Because the truth is, you don't know.
Speaker 1It comes down to perspective because, like you said, when you've had something like that in an experience, it changes your perspective on what you appreciate more. You appreciate things, you appreciate relationships.
Speaker 7I've been in a couple of bad car accidents. I had a car somersault on me five times Ooh. I should have never walked out of it Again. I got sick for 45 days. I should have never walked out of it.
Speaker 3Was it your liver, or was it? I'm kidding, I don't have everything, Everything shut down my every organ in my body shut down.
Speaker 6Everything shut down.
Speaker 7How long ago was this? 2014. I had 27 plasma transfusions.
Speaker 1Holy, yeah, was it an infection or was it?
Speaker 7It was a blood disorder.
Speaker 1Ah, okay, they don't know how to get that thing.
Speaker 7They don't know what happened.
Speaker 1My wife had a good friend I'm talking years back. We were dating at the time and her good friend passed away from a blood infection. They couldn't do anything to get it right.
Speaker 7It's called HUS. I had a combination of two. It was called HUS as the main, and then I had an underlying TTP. I know what it was. It was my blood cells were basically killing each other because they thought my red blood cells thought my. What blood cells were.
Speaker 1They were attacking each other. They were attacking each other.
Speaker 7So your plasma is like a golden color, right, mine was like a Coca-Cola syrup, yeah yeah, so at that time so you faced death I faced a lot. I had seizures that I didn't know I was having in the hospital they kept information away from me out of thinking that I was fear.
Speaker 6But that's a good thing. That's a good thing they kept that. That was the worst thing they kept from me. No, that was a good thing because you know why.
Speaker 1What are you gonna be? Fears of death. It depends on the person. Again, that depends on the individual.
Speaker 7Look, I was in the hospital. I was expecting what was gonna happen. If I know he's not look, let me explain to you.
Speaker 6I was there.
Speaker 7You were there the whole time. You were there, but you know what? And it got to a point where I was planning my own funeral. Yeah, and I got cussed out for it, right and. But who cussed you out? The guy I was planning the funeral with, because he was my friend. All right, yeah, not your wife. No, she didn't even know about it.
Speaker 2I just was trying to make it life on easy and so on her.
Speaker 7I was trying to make sure that she had nothing to worry about.
Speaker 3So, on the intimacy side, the communication side, you were not sharing this information with your bride. She knew because she was in the room, okay, so you were sure, okay, she was in the room, but you didn't know nothing like that though.
Speaker 7Look, I love my wife.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 7I know she can't handle those kind of moments. You don't know that.
Speaker 6No, I didn't know that, because I just lived through.
Speaker 7You know God bless their souls to death and her family Right. She can't handle it Right. So if God forbid I was to pass away, I can't picture her going into the funeral home and buying a plot and setting up my funeral. So I took it upon myself whether I died that time I was at the hospital or 50 years from now. I talked to my friend who owns a funeral home and I said I want to buy some plots and I want to set it up.
Speaker 7If it happens to this week, it happens. It happens 50 years from now. Do those plots?
Speaker 3still exist today.
Speaker 7I didn't buy them. You did not buy them. My friend did not let me.
Speaker 1But here's the important question you didn't share or you didn't discuss it with your wife because, again, you're trying to protect her. So is that a negative or a positive? In an intimate relationship, it could be a negative.
Speaker 7Yeah, it depends how it was perceived by the other party. I don't agree on that.
Speaker 6No, no, it can be a positive.
Speaker 7Yeah, it depends on how the other party perceives it. Well, no, no that's the key.
Speaker 1It depends on how the other party perceives it, because I know that a lot of times. I mean, for example, you know I've been married 27 years. I said that earlier.
Speaker 2God bless you.
Speaker 1But early and you guys probably know this early in a marriage or a relationship. I mean, and honestly, I was later on in life before I met my wife. I was like 28, 27 when I met her, so I had some good times before that.
Speaker 6Yeah, I feel sorry about her.
Speaker 1But early in our relationship there were some struggles. Financially it was. Sometimes. It was tough. It was a struggle, and so do I share with her about that. Okay, we're really in debt but I don't know how we're gonna pay it. Or do you keep it from her so she doesn't worry about it?
Speaker 7But then again, that's a different kind of situation.
Speaker 1Well, no, that is, it's different.
Speaker 7So in debt right now, if I have to tell my wife, hey, we can't afford to pay your car payment, I'm sorry we got a downsize Right, it's gonna happen Right and in the situation I was in, I've talked to my friend a lot. He's very Nick, but like my little brother you know, I've heard the stories of families coming in and trying to do these, planning after the fact.
Speaker 1Right the nightmares.
Speaker 7The intention was nothing for me. Yeah, it didn't help anybody else but my wife. Yeah, right, so there was no bad intention.
Speaker 7Right, just to make it so that every process of it after would be easier on her life. Yeah, you know, now, if I'm in debt, now I'm an entrepreneur, I invest in businesses. Right, you know I want to buy new businesses. Now, if I go invest in businesses and then keep my wife out of it, she's got the best. She got all the right in the world to get this off of me, because I'm taking a lot of money from our family to gamble on a business.
Speaker 3But back to the communication. Do you have to share that with her? The business part yeah, yeah, because if it's going to put your family into debt, I'm now do?
Speaker 6I want to know the truth. I'm very sorry to say that.
Speaker 7Now the truth hold on. Do I want my wife to know that I'm expecting to die.
Speaker 2No.
Speaker 7I don't want to put her in a more hearty no. Like I thought about this a million times. Yeah, I thought about God forbid if I ever go to the hospital and have cancer.
Speaker 1Here's the big thing. There's no right or wrong answer here. It depends on the person, it depends on the other person who's involved. Right, and that's the whole thing that I want to emphasize. There's no right or wrong here.
Speaker 6It's what's best for the situation, but sometime when you're going to have somebody involved in your own business mean they got to think, they got to act, they got to perform and everything else To me in my life. Okay, I'm different. Okay, my wife, she don't know nothing. What I have, it's not me that's bad or is wrong, but I tell you one thing at least you don't have the headache of what I'm doing Mm-hmm, clean up your desk, you're gone.
Speaker 1I don't want her.
Speaker 6I don't want her to have the stress.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 8Does not mean.
Speaker 6I have stress no, I don't, because really I don't care about nothing, I don't have to have the patience Anything. You know what, if this gonna happen or is not?
Speaker 1Well, let me say something as a therapist I'm gonna approach it yeah yeah, I'm gonna approach it Just like what a client sitting with me in my office. Yes, please do All right, please do Not responsible for other people's feelings. Okay, you're not. I feel I'm not, I'm really not. If they are angry, if they're sad, if they're upset, if they're, whatever it is, you can't, you are not in Charge of their feelings.
Speaker 6I cannot prevent best for you. I cannot prevent what they gonna have, exactly okay, yep. I don't yep, because you know what. I do my best to make it good for everybody around me. Mm-hmm is not somebody I don't know, no right. But if that time comes, if they're not feeling good they're even my hope I'm there. Yeah, they don't know, I hope, or they're not gonna ask me. I cannot do nothing about them.
Speaker 7I need your help finishing this bottle.

Speaker 3That's a lot of help.

Speaker 3Oh shit, we're almost there.

Speaker 3Yeah, so it's.
Speaker 1This is one episode. So, and I'm gonna. I'm gonna update the. I'm gonna update the episode title to a chaos with the man gave happy hour chaos, intimacy chaos.
Speaker 3So we we've talked about a lot tonight all mics back, sorry guys.
Speaker 7No, you had. You had to use the. You got intimate with the bathroom To become intimate when nature pages.
Speaker 3You have to answer that call yes, All right, okay you know, it's all about ball bearings.
Speaker 9Oh, come on, guys, it's so simple. Maybe you need a refresher course. Hey, it's all ball bearings nowadays.
Speaker 6Well, you're talking about relationship. Well, we're talking about intimacy and relationship, yeah but there's one thing I learned in my life and I've been married for 20 years yes, communication is number one. Yeah, absolutely, I agree because you know what, with no communication, you're not gonna have nothing. No, that's why I learned in a 20 years of marriage and we've been together for 23 years yeah, I think, I think that's wrong. Why what?
Speaker 7communication yes, but I think Understanding is more important than you're understanding.
Speaker 6Even that's part of life.
Speaker 7No, no, no, no, no, no, no, because you can communicate, but if the other person has an understanding what you're communicating, it's a whole different situation. This is what I'm talking about pessimism, animosity towards situations.
Speaker 3Yeah, but right. So I'm gonna go back to and I'm sorry Again. I wasn't a marriage for 22 years and unfortunately my ex-wife was on the couch, Depressed, and just did not like where she was at in life.
Speaker 7All right.
Speaker 6She's my wife. She's been a for it was the same thing today.
Speaker 7Did she hold it against you for it?
Speaker 3Absolutely and that's the problem.
Speaker 7That's the problem.
Speaker 1You're blaming somebody else for your issue.
Speaker 3Yeah, absolutely it took a lot for me to want to understand why she was like that. How could I be there as a husband to one, be the person that she needed me to be and, secondly, to communicate Properly. So she knew that I wanted to be the husband that she wanted me to be.
Speaker 1Okay, it was very years, but it was very difficult. Here's the problem though You're, you're talking about being the person she wants you to be, but what if that's not the person you are?
Speaker 3and it was.
Speaker 6I can't be somebody, yes, and they want you to be and it wasn't.
Speaker 7How about if you have to be somebody, they want you to be?
Speaker 1You can't one, because because if you're not, that person, you're thinking it.
Speaker 7Does that mean just wearing a mask?
Speaker 6Yeah, no, you know when I'm asked you just changing your everything, life, you changing whatever you are, you change it whatever you want to do.
Speaker 1And if you did that, if you put that mask on, you're not gonna be happy.
Speaker 3No, because you're not the person you are and, unfortunately, that's why me personally I had to pull the proverbial trigger to say this is the end stop. This is the line where I have to draw to want, because I wanted to be somebody. I wanted to be me. I didn't want to be that person to put a mask on and be like. I Will bend to every will and need that you, that you have, that you need me to be. I had to be me and I wanted that person to deal with what they were going through and for their own good.
Speaker 1And let me ask you this, man I don't want to get personal. No, you're good. Do you feel like you're in a better place now?
Speaker 3Did you were then 100% because I've been a relationship that I know that I can be who I want to be. Yep, yep. It took absolutely. It took a very strong stick for make me to, to put me to in that place and I had to carry it and the motor city.
Speaker 1I'm not this podcast F you.
Speaker 3Over the past 200 and some episodes that we, you and I have been together. Yes, I have learned a lot and I know who I am my ex could not accept that and I wanted to be.
Speaker 1You think about it if your partner cannot accept who you are now, unless you're a serial killer. That's different.
Speaker 6That's a story, but yeah but.
Speaker 1But if you're, if you're, if your partner cannot accept who you are, that's a problem that that's not gonna last. This is you can fake it for a while, but eventually it's gonna crumble apart, but it came down to this is who.
Speaker 3This is the path I'm going, or going down. And if you cannot be a part of that and accept who I am regardless of how many jobs, because banker, dj, podcaster this person had a whole other Perception as to what their life was. And if you can't be a part of that or accept what where that's going down, at least Appreciate what that is. That's where the communication, the intimacy lies, because you can't Just tell somebody what your opinions are and expect them to accept it. You have to lead them down that path and understand where they're coming from at the same freaking time, because they're in a different state in their lives and you have to understand where their lives are leading. And if you can't, if you're not educated enough to Bring that in, tell them yeah, but there's nothing about education to tell your wife.
Speaker 6You know what? What do you feel? I think it's not.
Speaker 4It's not where the problem lies.
Speaker 2I'm sorry to interrupt you. No, you're good.
Speaker 7I think a lot of times in marriage and in love and in relationships, you have expectations.
Speaker 3Yes, there's expectations from both.
Speaker 7Yeah there's expectations of life. Yes, you live life with expectations for yourself, but you cannot live life with expectations for other people right.
Speaker 3You can't live up to their expectations.
Speaker 7You're right, exactly the problem is in a marriage, I think people fall in love with each other. Well, love is true yeah, it was real but sometimes they have expectations beyond that love. Yes, and those expectations are not beyond the persons who you're in love with to do, because we can do whatever the fuck we want, right this?
Speaker 8is life.
Speaker 7As people, you have control over every aspect of your life, and don't tell me you don't. Yeah, no, you do. So I think sometimes the love leads to expectations of what these people expect in marriage Well, and what they expect this person to do for them and I think it becomes overbearing.
Speaker 1And the great example of that is people who marry thinking they'll change the other person. This is the problem. Eventually become what they want.
Speaker 6This is the problem. That will never happen.
Speaker 7Yeah, exactly, if they can change you go into a love expecting to make that person a better person, you never really love that person for who they are yes exactly because you're already trying to change the person you love and thank you for following me down that rabbit hole because it's a difficult.
Speaker 3You know it's very difficult to try to understand the other person at the same time.
Speaker 6You will never understand the other person, but you can try.
Speaker 7You can try, but you don't you know how you understand that other person how? By how you're treated. Don't understand another person by how they act. Yep how you're treated see, people's words are momentarily Situational well, well, words.
Speaker 1Words are meaningless actions. Speak louder than words.
Speaker 7I'm going back to help, but some people have no action and all they have is their words.
Speaker 3So, dave, to go back to your, your statement, actions speak louder than words. Yep, you can put all of your actions, the best of foot, forward as you see fit, but that person may never accept.
Speaker 1Exactly and that's a whole thing with relationships is that you can do everything right, but you're, you're, you're counting on the other person doing the same thing that may not happen To accept.
Speaker 1And I tell people and I'm telling you, I've seen, over 30 years, thousands of couples come into my office and at some point I say to them you know what? You're better off a part. I I'm not. I tell them I'm not here to save your marriage, I'm here to put you in a better place. Yeah, it's the truth and sometimes it's a part as individuals. That's just a fact.
Speaker 7Yeah, yeah, yeah, you gotta, you gotta judge people individually. Yeah, sometimes the couple doesn't work out. It is what it is. It's just not meant to be Exactly. But I think a lot of people have a high expectations and expect those people to live it up to those expectations and to change those Expectations from who they really are. You know, it's that this everybody does. Right, you marry a woman she you marry her who she is. You expect her to Make a home, to cook, to clean. It's your expectations as a husband. Right, you want to get married. This is what you're looking forward to. Huh, but the reality is you marry this person for who they are. So if they, if they take it upon themselves to do those things, right, they're gonna do them. But if you expect it from them, you're gonna disappoint yourself and disappoint them.
Speaker 3I never accepted my partner, my spouse, my wife, when I was married to cook and clean. I was a part of that. I did. I wash fucking windows for guys.
Speaker 6Let me ask you one thing that wasn't their job.
Speaker 3It wasn't their job and it's not. That's not the expectation.
Speaker 6Yeah but let me ask you one thing.
Speaker 7No, they're expectations that I'm talking about see so but me. I don't care if I go home and wash dishes. I wake up in the morning. I got to make my coffee. I do. If there's he does, I don't I do well, see.
Speaker 1See, it depends on. This goes back to expectations and what you want. Every relationship is so different. It is.
Speaker 3It is different and that's that's where this conversation comes in the intimacy, the Expectation, the relationship that you have with your partner, your spouse, your, your, your mom, your dad, your kid or what have you. You have a kid in high school or college. I still live in your house. What's that expectation? What is their responsibility to that? Can I?
Speaker 6ask you one thing. Can I ask one thing? Yeah, you're working all day long. You're putting 12, 15, 14, 8, 8, what it is. That's a to you. I'm gonna come home to wash dishes, to cook and everything else. Do you think that's fair? Well, let me assess. Okay.
Speaker 7If that person is the only one, she chose to stay at home, mom.
Speaker 1Is that person the only one working that's?
Speaker 3coming home? Yes. Is it a one income household?
Speaker 6Yes, yes, even if she work a day a week, even if she work a day, two days a week. Look, you choose your career, but you wanna become a house mom.
Speaker 7Everybody does, that's your career. You wanna work?
Speaker 3your career, okay you choose what you do for the rest of your life. Do I wanna come home and make a salmon, sure. Do I wanna come home and grill?
Speaker 6I don't give a shit. Yeah, but let me ask you one thing. Let me ask you one thing.
Speaker 3Do I wait back in cheese for the kiddos and whatever.
Speaker 6Tomorrow morning he'll do it. Who cares? Yeah, but there are certain things in life. While I'm gonna come home, I wanna have my food ready. Let's see, this is the problem.
Speaker 7So this is my brother. I don't know what we're yelling about, so this is my brother. It is, that's what brother does. This is my brother.
Speaker 1Again it goes back to expectations.
Speaker 7This is my brother. And what is real? I don't see. This is my brother. When you said expectations, you set yourself up to fail.
Speaker 3So, especially when you said expectations, for your brother or generally In general All right.
Speaker 7When you set expectations for other people, you're assuming they're gonna follow what you want them to do. You're setting yourself up for failure.
Speaker 6It goes back to the truth, absolutely.
Speaker 7You're setting yourself up for failure. You're not accepting who they are and you're expecting to do what you want them to do. It's not right of you, it's not humanly of you to do that, to expect people to do things.
Speaker 1But here's the other thing I also want you to do If you expect something from others, you're always gonna be disappointed.
Speaker 6Of course that's right Always.
Speaker 7I don't expect anything of my wife, but what I look for is mutual respect. If you're gonna choose to be a stay-at-home mom and I'm gonna work every single day you chose to be a stay-at-home mom, so Now you listen to me, mister. God did not put me on this earth To be awakened by filthy suggestions from a foul mouth who live in like you.
Speaker 5Me yes me.
Speaker 7Sorry.
Speaker 6That's who me Try this. You want to try this?
Speaker 7So that's what I think.
Speaker 3I think if you leave yourself to expectations you're leading yourself to failure.
Speaker 1Well here's the whole thing. What's your expectation for yourself? People always have an expectation of what is supposed to happen. No, and 90% of the time that does not happen, failure.
Speaker 6That's the problem 100% no, yeah.
Speaker 1So you have to reconcile yourself. That are my expectations, realistic with whatever relationship you're in Wife, brother, sister, parent, friend. If it's not realistic, then you have to acknowledge that yourself.
Speaker 6Okay.
Speaker 1This is not realistic.
Speaker 6Can I tell you guys something right now? Yeah, and it happened today in front of him. He's my brother, he's my kid, I love him to death. It was fucking.
Speaker 3Today he came over. Wait, wait, wait, Is this? While you were golfing.
Speaker 6No, he didn't golf. No, no, I don't golf because you know why he's down a lot on the golf course.
Speaker 8Why not?
Speaker 7It was in the restaurants what I'm not I'm not.
Speaker 6What the fuck is it with you? Okay, listen to me. He came over to come here today. Okay, my wife, I love her to death. I've been married for 20 years, depressed as hell, but he cheered her up for her to drive us here To come here, wait, wait.
Speaker 1He cheered her up, not you.
Speaker 6I will never cheered her up, why? Because you know why. No, it's like different opinions. What, yes, she does, and you know what I don't blame for that, it's not me. Wait, wait, wait, say it again.
Speaker 7No, she hasn't liked different opinions.
Speaker 6She does.
Speaker 7He's a nice guy in the world, but he's a nice asshole. Yeah, he's a nice asshole. He's a nice guy, he's a nice asshole what he's?
Speaker 8a nice asshole it's for you.
Speaker 7Like you know, his wife, my back is hurting. What do you want me to do?
Speaker 6Okay, what do you want me to do? What do you want me to do?
Speaker 7You know I went there. He's like he went. Let's get her out of the house. Her back is hurting. Mary Ann, your back is hurting. Are you okay to drive?
Speaker 6Yes.
Speaker 7If you can drive and drop us off please.
Speaker 6That's what I did.
Speaker 4I just wanted to go out the house.
Speaker 7You didn't do that you were a nice asshole.
Speaker 5Whoa Okay okay.
Speaker 7The nice asshole said Mary Ann, you've been bored all day, you're depressed. Get in the car, come out with us. That is a nice asshole Because he's trying to get out of the house, but he's been an asshole about it.
Speaker 1Well, but. But let me ask this Did she need to get out of the house?
Speaker 8Yes, she's depressed all day. Yes, there's a two. Yes.
Speaker 7But see the, the, but the nice asshole 50-50 there, the nice asshole didn't work. See, that's the problem, right, so I go to her. Mary Ann, your back is hurting. Are you okay to drive Solidify?
Speaker 8Make her feel better about her back pain right.
Speaker 7Right, Are you okay to drive? She's like, yeah, why I go? I just want to make sure you're about to drive an hour and a half to drop us off and go back home, right, are you okay?
Speaker 1Yep.
Speaker 7If you're okay, drop us off. If you're not, stay home, be depressed.
Speaker 1See either one it's your choice. But either one works, depending on the situation.
Speaker 6It works.
Speaker 7but my problem is but in my in my situation, I showed that I cared about her. Back In his situation she said fuck your depression. You want to drop us off, or do you not want to drop us off? What's up.
Speaker 8Good to hear you, Dave. I think logic is challenging.
Speaker 1You know, Yvonne has some serious, has some serious. Yvonne does have some insight, but it is it is.
Speaker 8I mean, what you do is like, really like logic based, and it's like how does the brain process logic? And and but, and then there's so many variables to it. But I think, Yvonne, I think you got that logic game, that's that's what brothers for, though, I'm telling you.
Speaker 6That's what brothers for though they got to get each other.
Speaker 8And he's got his brothers back.
Speaker 1Yeah that's what it is, double fold I got it.
Speaker 8He's trying to have a good day and he's trying to have his brothers back. I mean, I golfed all fucking day.
Speaker 7I can't have a bad day. I can't ruin it, you know, I can't ruin it for him either.
Speaker 3I had a bad day at the office. Fuck you why.
Speaker 7We got 12 bottles Make it better. This is your office, gosh.
Speaker 1Roll by roll by and beyond the way home You're good, Before we end, Yvonne, let me ask you you golf today. Have you been golfing a while, yeah, but I still suck.
Speaker 7I've been golfing for two years. I still need that therapy, that golf therapy.
Speaker 1Yeah, we're going to talk about that I've only been golfing for two years.
Speaker 6I like it like a. Can I tell you my?
Speaker 120 handicap.
Speaker 6Can I tell you my golfing experience for a?
Speaker 4second Just one second, one second.
Speaker 6I'll tell you one thing. Tell me, mike, I was 20 years old. We're on golfing. We were seven people, we got two cars.
Speaker 1Well, first seven is wrong. Okay, that's the first.
Speaker 6This is the thing we were two cars. We start racing.
Speaker 4The first car flipped.
Speaker 6And the second car flipped too. Oh yeah, and you know what we got kicked out? Where did?
Speaker 7they flip. That was the first time I golfed. That was my last time. Where did they flip? Out of all places in the golf course to flip a golf course On the green, oh yeah yeah yeah, of course that's what it was.
Speaker 6It was high. It's not bad enough to skid on the green On the green.
Speaker 1Let's put the car on the green, not on the fairway, where you can drive On the middle, where the car path Right.
Speaker 8Right in front of the clubhouse too, it was high.
Speaker 7It wasn't my golf course, I would have kicked him out. I have a totally serious question right now.
Speaker 6They have a brain like a chicken.
Speaker 8Woo, now you're going to start hour 15 in Now, serious question. Now you're going to start hour 15 in Serious question.
Speaker 7I think he's getting intimate with the old tool?
Speaker 3Nope, why did August leave the old soul bottle in the studio?
Speaker 1Because I'm going to take it when we leave, because he said he's leaving it in the studio.
Speaker 7bar Fuck him. I'm trying to.
Speaker 1Love you all Give me the old, the old.
Speaker 3No, I cannot appreciate more than this conversation has happened, because it's all about brotherhood, it's all about people communicating with one another. You know what Dave was introduced to? Something new tonight.
Speaker 1What was that Old soul? Oh, oh yes, Old soul.
Speaker 7Yeah, definitely, I'm an old soul. I'm going to call there. There you go, there you go Give me a call.
Speaker 3Yeah, but what you shared, mike, yvonne, jamie, david, myself- August, august, before you took off.
Speaker 1August left. He bailed. August got a lot of shit going on. Son of a bitch.
Speaker 3But you know what? We're all here to represent one another. We're all here to support one another your spouse, your wife, your brother, your sister.
Speaker 1Relationships. That's what this is all about. Yeah, it's people that you care about and want to be close to Now and let me say this before we end, because we're way over but who cares? Here's the thing the and I've said this to thousands of clients over 30 years If I don't care who it is, if it's your relative, if it's your brother, if it's your parent, if it's your friend, if they are negative influences on you, cut them loose. I don't care. If they're family, you said, cut them loose, cut them loose.
Speaker 6Cut them loose, cut them loose. Can I say one thing? Yes, relationship depends on communication. That's one thing. Yes, trust is the second thing. Yes, ok, and believe that's what they're thinking. Right, that's what I believe in. Yep, anybody going to give you a negative vibe in your life, there is no reason for you to have them in there, absolutely. That's exactly what I'm saying, because if you're going to have a negative vibe in your life always going to be negative.
Speaker 1Here's the test If you wouldn't have these people as friends, you wouldn't choose to have them as your friends. Don't take them just because they're family From the professional.
Speaker 3No.
Speaker 7Done. So my wife, when I got married, always asked me. She asked me why do you have more friends that you hang out with than family?
Speaker 3OK, so that's actually a really brilliant question. The.
Speaker 8Christmas card list just got a little shorter, that's great.
Speaker 6Jamie, jamie, jamie. There's no more Christmas cards, jamie, it's done. Can I tell you the truth? That's a brilliant question.
Speaker 7I don't want anybody's Christmas card and won't say love me.
Speaker 8Wait, wait, let's say love me. What's that, Jamie so?
Speaker 4wait, wait, I'm listening to you. No, more.
Speaker 7This is one thing I learned about family and friends.
Speaker 3I love you Eva that's a brilliant question. Why do you have more?
Speaker 7friends than family.
Speaker 1Why do you have more? What?
Speaker 7No, no, no I have more family than friends.
Speaker 1They have a brain like a chicken.
Speaker 7But I keep more friends close to me than family, and the reason being? The reason is family has expectations Value. Friends have appreciation Value.
Speaker 1Well, sometimes, yes, that's correct. But here's the thing you get to choose your friends. You don't get to choose your family.
Speaker 7No, you're stuck with what you get, but you get to choose how you approach your family. So the difference is that a family member asks you to help out and sometimes you can't. Oh, absolutely, but you're an asshole, ok. What do you do? That's for sure. And what do you do? And what do you do? There's really not a true thankfulness for it. This is how I feel. Are you doing Exactly? Fuck family.
Speaker 3I'm going to say it. I have a very close knit of friends who I will step up for.
Speaker 7And I'm going to finish this. I'm going to go take a piss. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1I don't know. I will step up for it.
Speaker 7You just did that, but, friends, I did.
Speaker 3But, friends, it's a big thing, it's past two minutes.
Speaker 7He said that not me, but friends. When you do something for them, they will always appreciate it. And even the thought of you saying no Depends on what kind of friend you have.
Speaker 1On the family side. No you're right and the family will say you should have done that. You should have been there yeah.
Speaker 7Why weren't you there?
Speaker 6Yeah, yeah, but it all depends on what kind of friends you have. No, that's true too. Ok, because you know why. I have good friends. Yeah, they will give me their life, and they have not bad friends. Now, I'm not saying no bad, but they don't do nothing and I gave them everything.
Speaker 8Yeah, hey, mike, yes, sir, I want to hang out with you. So, anytime, what was store? Because there's four of them. Which of the four stores are you doing? I'm in the Davidson. I'm in the Davidson, you're west side. You got to cross your fingers and do the west side thing.
