Talkin' Turkey and New Jobs!
Ever wondered what it’s like to record a podcast with your wife and ex-wife? Join me, Denny Broens, as we navigate this unconventional setup with humor and grace, sharing hilarious family anecdotes like the time our son Braxton’s innocent iPad gaming sparked school-wide miscommunication. Together with Amanda and Jams, we transform potentially awkward moments into lighthearted tales about co-parenting and family mishaps, proving laughter really is the best medicine.
Ever faced the chaos of moving house or the dilemmas of providing employment references? Brayden shares his own moving debacles and the peculiarities of trash collection woes, while we tackle the fine line between opinion and defamation in the realm of workplace references. With plenty of laughs along the way, we unpack the absurdity of selling homes, dealing with logistical nightmares, and the unexpected humor found in these transitions.
Thanksgiving antics take center stage as we banter over food rankings, turkey mix-ups, and even a propane tank drama. Our lively discussions span everything from crusted salmon to the comedic chaos of ordering too many turkeys. We round out the episode with candid chats on marital communication, job interviews, and the art of self-promotion—always with a smile and a dose of friendly competition. Tune in for a podcast experience that blends humor, insight, and a touch of festive chaos.

Speaker 2:The trajectory of Braxton's height. Trajectory Trudge.
Speaker 3:How many?
Speaker 2:R's.
Speaker 3:Let's catch everybody. Well, I let me do it my way.
Speaker 5:Well, honey, people weren't listening when we started talking about it so I'm gonna give some backstory alright, the floor is yours the kids at school lost power on Tuesday, yeah, so I knew from that that they had kind of free reign to play on their iPad.
Speaker 4:Oh, because, school from that that they had kind of free reign to play on their iPad.
Speaker 5:Oh, Because school. They had no lights. They couldn't do anything, but it was too early to let out early, so they just waited for buses to get there and take them home. I have to go to the bathroom right now, so Wednesday at 1019, I get this text message. Good morning, this is Kristen Harnish, assistant principal at WIS. I wanted to let you know that Braxton was written up for misusing his iPad in class. He served a lunch detention with me yesterday. I was not able to call you yesterday because our phone lines were down. If you have any questions, please give me a call.
Speaker 3:Now I get a text message with just that screenshot. Yeah, yeah. And I start immediately thinking to myself self what's the first thing, the very first thing, very first, I'm going to beat the piss out of you.
Speaker 2:Okay, that was a dumb question. What was the second thing?
Speaker 5:He no longer has anything in his room.
Speaker 3:Anything in his room. That was my text to her. Whatever he has in his life that he cherishes.
Speaker 5:It is gone, it will be swiftly taken.
Speaker 3:He is going to get the most pure form of discipline available to man without jail time, because all I could see was us having to sit across from a principal and hear about his teachers wearing bra or bra, less boobies, or whatever.
Speaker 2:Naked boobies. Intermediate school teacher breast.
Speaker 3:I was so nervous. So to my credit Okay, to my credit I said it's possible he was just being a boy and doing something else. I'd be very true, but he's dev.
Speaker 2:He was just being a boy and doing something else. I mean very true, but he's deviant. He has a history Boy, does he?
Speaker 3:All of us do. He has a colored past.
Speaker 5:Yeah, and we were just like oh, but I couldn't reach out to her until much later in the day. Oh shit, we just stewed over this all day, and then I get into my email and find the formal disciplinary action that says in fact, he was just playing a game instead of doing his work and I said, look, you need to word that better. That is not misconduct of his iPad or whatever it said he was playing a math game.
Speaker 3:No M, ipad or whatever. He was playing a math game.
Speaker 2:No Misconduct he was playing a math game. You should have sent them back a screenshot of all of his searches. This is misconduct. On the same goddamn iPad, this is misconduct. He's playing an addition and subtraction game, that's okay.
Speaker 3:He's not adding or subtracting any vaginas, so I'm okay.
Speaker 2:The word breast wasn't used. Okay, he's not adding or subtracting any vaginas, so I'm okay. The word breast wasn't used.
Speaker 1:Okay, don't bother me, do not bother me, don't call me with that bullshit.
Speaker 3:If he wants to play a math game, shut the fuck up and let him play. It's a math game, he's learning and he's in school.
Speaker 2:Oh, dude, when she said, have you heard? I was like he was beaten off at school or he was preparing to beat off at school my mind immediately.
Speaker 3:So I had two things.
Speaker 2:The IT department saw something he has searched.
Speaker 3:He was just sitting in class and, like you know what would make a Tuesday better?
Speaker 2:Tits, tits. Tuesday the second Braxton turns 18, he's going to be like you're telling me I can look at tits Whenever. Whenever Like right now, done.
Speaker 1:Teddy Tuesday.
Speaker 2:Just so everybody knows in my pocket boobs and he is playing a math. Oh, that's so. That school suck Like why wouldn't you?
Speaker 3:just say, To be fair, they I mean there were rules.
Speaker 5:To be fair, it's probably not on her radar that he could have been looking at porn on that.
Speaker 2:Well, if the IT department was worth their salt at all, well, they caught you, the school IT department.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they caught you or they caught somebody? Yeah, the IT department at the school did.
Speaker 2:If they caught me, I wouldn't be sitting here now.
Speaker 3:No, there was something, because I was like hey, if this is true, I don't know what.
Speaker 2:I can do. Could it have been Garrett Garrett's friends making national news Could?
Speaker 3:it have possibly been that. Well, that was totally different.
Speaker 5:That was not the IT department, we just told.
Speaker 2:I just heard this little story about Audrey and I was like Garrett almost did this once. She said what?
Speaker 3:And I said well, if it would have happened, you'd be growing up in Pennsylvania Instead of a Russian village country yeah, dude, when they can't look you up, Because this is oh that's so crazy.

Speaker 1:You never, ever, ever. All right so pause, because I'm going to pause, because I am going to light you up, if it's mean. I'm just saying you never give immediate possession.
Speaker 5:Why not? Because then you're forced to move everything immediately.
Speaker 1:There's so much going on between closing and all the paperwork and shit that you at least do 15 days.
Speaker 2:I was told my closing date eight days prior. What do you want me to do about it All? The paperwork was already done.
Speaker 3:I think the closing date that you're talking about is different than immediate possession. Those are separate.
Speaker 2:All that paperwork was done, though I had no control over it. You want to give up immediate possession? Sure, but however the hell it gets the house out of my possession and also the money in my pocket, you still would have gotten all that.
Speaker 1:They don't have to take possession of the house. You would have just had two weeks to move instead of two days.
Speaker 3:I do have a question Did you call the trash people? No, do it. What trash people? Well, wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 2:Okay, hold on, hold on, because whoa, whoa, whoa, because there are stipulations. I did call. I called three times. You called on a Tuesday at midnight. Back to back to back.
Speaker 3:I called three times he called.
Speaker 5:They called me back. What was the reset on Veterans Day?
Speaker 2:He called on the 11 back and they go. You left some messages. I said you haven't been in your office. I called three times at like 10 and then they said what are you needing? And I said I just moved, I got some stuff to pick up and they were like okay, 35, and I said all right add it to my new house bill it, to bill it somewhere that I don't have to give you the money right now.
Speaker 2:I have it. I had it then. I was just a county away. I was so far away and I had so much going on and they were like, yeah, so just leave $35 in your mailbox put your name, your phone number, your address already at the house.
Speaker 2:So why do I need to put the address? And they said very weird. So I says I says to them. I says I says is it going to so today, is it going to get picked up? And they're like no, we're going to wait till we get the money. I said $35. Why.
Speaker 3:And they said, well, because the likelihood that they'll ever get it.
Speaker 2:When COVID happens. I go down this whole goddamn history of Tipton County all the way back to COVID and they say we need $35. And I said, okay, you'll get it Click. I haven't even thought about it since.
Speaker 1:Until right now. Is this at the people's new house, or, like it's, at your old house, I mean?
Speaker 3:And at the people's new house, or, like it's, at your old house, I mean, and at the people's new house.
Speaker 2:That'd be the same house you were right both ways.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was great, alex, thanks, here's what I know.
Speaker 5:Turns out, it sounds like it's not your problem anymore.
Speaker 2:I heard you. I heard what I know. I don't live here, it's not my house.
Speaker 3:So congratulations, though, on unloading the house. You were worried about it, now it's done.
Speaker 2:I was, so I have kind of a God complex when it comes to at least you remember what I said. Because I'm going to get you pretty good.
Speaker 1:I'm just sitting here, I know.
Speaker 3:I know we did. Did you take any good notes of memories with Brianna in the house?
Speaker 5:Like mental, oh, like the time that she tried to throw you down the steps.
Speaker 3:Nope Jams is taking pictures. Amanda's got memories. Any others?
Speaker 5:Oh, how about the times that Jamie had to stand on your front porch to make her leave?
Speaker 2:Back porch.
Speaker 3:Back porch. Oh, it was back porch. Was there ever a front porch?
Speaker 4:No, yes, there was a front where is it from?
Speaker 3:Jamie wasn't there. How many nights did she actually stay in the house? At least three months, four nights, or four months months, weeks, it definitely doesn't.
Speaker 5:It wasn't definitely four hours there's a four in it forty nights, forty nights, definitely four hours there's a four, somewhere there's a four in it, 40 nights.
Speaker 2:40 nights, I think. Introduce your wife. I'm done with this my love.
Speaker 3:Hey, you know I'm always trying to freshen things up, right, Boy? You are doing a great job hiding that yawn.

Speaker 3:So I'm always trying to freshen up things right, because I like for there to be.
Speaker 2:Would you say you freshen up this podcast like you do your beanbag?
Speaker 3:no. I take much better care of my beanbag, so I am always on the lookout for intros that may match my. What's the problem? I thought I heard a noise Continue. I heard it too. You did.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay cool, it sounded like a shout.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's Braxton or one of the children.
Speaker 1:Or one of the children. Is he that old yet?
Speaker 3:So I'm always looking for something that epitomizes, or epitomizes Is the epitome of the person that it's introducing. Oh, so let's just give this one a try, damn it and see if it matches. It may not match. Across from me, it's my beautiful wife, amanda.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna stab a fucking bitch, okay, thank.
Speaker 2:God, we went this route.
Speaker 1:So get the fuck out of my fucking way. I should listen to this while I'm driving. I'm gonna stab a fucking bitch. Look at how happy she is right now. Darling, you're the fucking bitch, so get the mother fuck out of my way.
Speaker 2:You knew what they were going to say. I do believe, like you know, I was going to bring this up Serial killers, serial R-worders, they have like kind of signatures, right. I don't think we can say it on live stuff Graping.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Graping Serial Grapers. Serial Grapers, it's this, but it's when they say please don't. So your signature, if you ever became like a serial killer, serial burglar or whatever, would be your doodles I did this on Tuesday. You'd be the doodler, the diddlin' doodler.
Speaker 1:The diddlin' doodler, the diddlin' doodler.
Speaker 2:You, on the other hand, I don't think. If you became a serial killer I don't think a gun my signature would be no signature. Your signature would just be of the pure hatred that you just unloaded on this unknowingly stranger. You stabbed him in the face 48 times. Mrs Broins, why did you do that? I don't like his face. He cut me off, right? I don't know.
Speaker 5:He was driving in the left fucking lane.

Speaker 1:Three fucking turkeys. For what?
Speaker 3:Oh, wait till she gives you this reasoning.
Speaker 1:Okay, see what happened was. Oh, uh-huh.
Speaker 2:Oh God, Did you cry after you explained it to him?
Speaker 3:No.
Speaker 5:She should have. Two days ago I realized Thanksgiving's next fucking week, not, you know, at the end of November, that's that's next week. But I haven't ordered any turkeys at all, so order three. So I called the Waddles where I get a lot of good information there. And I said, OK, you know what size ranges do you have left? And she said, oh, we only have the 12 to 16 pound birds. And I said, oh, that's not going to cut it. We normally get 20 pound birds, which?
Speaker 3:is also not true. My friar can only do up to 15.
Speaker 5:I always get a 20 pound bird. So give me three of those bitches. I said, give me three of the 16 pound ones. A 20 pound bird is a big bird?
Speaker 1:Okay, isn't a 20 pound bird, big Huge? You don't usually get a 20 pound bird right?
Speaker 3:Yes, I do. No, she doesn't.
Speaker 5:Who orders the fucking turkeys here?
Speaker 3:Yes, who has almost burnt their house down with a turkey? You Me.
Speaker 4:Several times. Who has?
Speaker 2:made the most delectable turkey you've ever had me who's almost killed people while trying to make a turkey well, it's the same time that I almost burned the house down.
Speaker 3:No, she ran over a goddamn propane tank.
Speaker 2:No, she didn't try to kill people. She tried to kill a community yeah, she tried to take out a couple blocks driving and then superhuman strength to lift a car off of a goddamn propane tank.
Speaker 3:I heard stories about this. Three blocks.
Speaker 5:Do you know, the funniest part of that this morning I was you thought about sleeping outside. Driving the Toha and I heard that exact same fucking sound like she said where the fuck was there a propane tank? Do you know what I said? I said that's still just snow, Just like it was with the Jeep Did you really reference back yourself? Yes, I bet she did. Yes, I thought back to the time that I it's not a propane tank again.
Speaker 2:Amanda, what are the odds?
Speaker 5:I said did I run over something? Nah, that's just snow. I said, ah, deja vu.
Speaker 2:I will never forget that night too, because I did not know.
Speaker 1:However, it wasn't deja vu, because it was actually a fucking propane tank the first time.
Speaker 2:The first time. I will never forget that evening. I had no idea, I had none.
Speaker 3:You knew I need more water, and Garrett knew Well, I only knew, because I went out to light the goddamn thing and it wasn't there anymore. I'm up to light the goddamn thing and it wasn't there anymore. So I'm sitting, that's all I knew, and I'm like where my propane thing?
Speaker 2:and I'm looking around like ha, ha ha, real fucking funny she comes back downstairs and all of a sudden it's just everything's cool, Everything's cool. And then she walked out. I was like you guys just break up, oh no.
Speaker 5:He was so mean to me about it.
Speaker 1:I was not mean to you.
Speaker 2:Oh, I 100% believe, let's go ahead and pump the brakes on that. You were mad, no, no no, he probably was.
Speaker 1:He was so fucking mean you probably were. You belittled the fuck out of her. I don't know about all that. I don't know about all that. Here's what I know.
Speaker 2:How could you run over a propane? There were some level fives, there were some idiots and there was some. How the F did this even happen?
Speaker 5:And then you tried to lift the car yourself. So here's what happened. I drove the jeep, which was newer to us at that time. I was not familiar with it, because if I had had the equinox I would have known where the jacks and everything were, and I would have fucking jacked that bitch up at the end of the road and not called a single person. Honey, I don't know where your propane tank is you don't laugh at you.
Speaker 2:illegally dumped it, Honey.
Speaker 3:somebody stole that I would have driven by the church in the morning I'd be like what the fuck is my propane tank there? These goddamn kids in Rucherville are getting worse and worse. Now they're coming out in the cold.
Speaker 1:She'd be like I don't know.
Speaker 5:This is the weirdest thing I was at the grocery store.
Speaker 3:I. I was at the grocery store, I don't know.
Speaker 5:And I said, what did my propane tank go? And I was trying to call him at that point.
Speaker 3:And then Garrett comes out Dad, yes, band wants to talk to you. Okay, it didn't click. Oh, no, it did. As soon as she said hey, I was like I still didn't know the severity.
Speaker 5:She said hey.
Speaker 3:I backed out, ran over Nope Al, and I backed out over the propane tank and it's now stuck under the. I said, where are you? I'm down at the corner.
Speaker 1:What.
Speaker 5:He said the corner of what Of 26.
Speaker 3:I just did, I get down there and she goes I'm 26. I just did, I get down there and she's like I'm so sorry, I'm like honey, how did you possibly not know that this is what was going?
Speaker 1:on. I thought they were so stuck to the tire. Don't act like.
Speaker 3:Okay, now hold on. In fairness to me, do I have a temper? I have a smidge. I admit I have a smidge of a temper.
Speaker 2:He's. I mean, it's slight.
Speaker 5:I know he's just mad. He's not necessarily mad at me, but he's just mad.
Speaker 3:This was early in our relationship and I fucked up. I was still trying to find my way in places. It was almost a tragedy. I don't want her to run yet. I didn't want to scare her off.
Speaker 2:But I also didn't want her to get blown to the fucking moon ever again. There wouldn't have been a shred of Amanda, whatever goddamn car it was, or that church, to this day, and I'll also say this, and she has stood by this story for years.
Speaker 1:that did not sound like snow it did there's it did no way because you gotta think it was like on top of snow sure it was, which is probably what saved her did you concrete?
Speaker 2:let's hold on and let's also not. Let's not do this asphalt because there it's not like there was a goddamn drift in the driveway. There's not a drift in the driveway. You hit a bump. The second you leave the garage.
Speaker 3:There wasn't even a bump? Do you remember the fact that we had to jack the car up to get it out?
Speaker 5:Oh, that bitch was wedged because I tried getting that fucker out.
Speaker 3:It wasn't like snow, was like packed and helping it.
Speaker 5:Denny and Garrett leaned down there and pulled and said oh, oh no.
Speaker 2:I think we need to call the EOD.
Speaker 3:We didn't need the EOD bomb squad. We didn't need an inch to get that thing out To be fair.
Speaker 5:I do think the minute I saw it was a propane tank, I reached out and made sure it was turned off.
Speaker 2:Oh, good job, Thank God.
Speaker 5:Great Nice thinking, because it was not it was not turned off, it was on.
Speaker 1:If I'm going to take a shot every podcast, it's not going to be me.
Speaker 2:Mark, what's it going to be then? I don't know, you little drunky brewster Well let's go to the liquor store.
Speaker 5:So I think that's just it.
Speaker 3:That's what had an effect enjoy your Thanksgiving with family this week. It's the greatest holiday. It is my favorite by a mile. The turkey bowl will go on as scheduled. The festivities at the Bruins house will be abundant and clear. I'm hopeful that my mom will be here for the first time ever in my adult life not the dead one, I was was going to say.
Speaker 1:I remember has she not been here before. I feel like she.
Speaker 3:No, she. When I was a kid, thanksgiving at our house was pretty memorable and it was all the family came and it was a big deal. That's why I kind of want it that way now. And so my sister and my sister had some other things come up, so she can't host where mom would usually go, so we invited her here, hopefully. Hopefully she and dennis can make it, uh, anyway. So let's shift gears. I think we should. I hope everyone enjoys your Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1:I was shifting gears.
Speaker 3:Boy, that maker's mark really hits you. No, I'm not.
Speaker 2:We're in second gear.
Speaker 3:So those of you that know me already know this, but it's kind of the inspiration for this week's podcast. But I've had kind of a he's gay, it's 50 years.
Speaker 1:Wouldn't that be some shit that is.
Speaker 2:I mean, it took pop. I love you still, I would hope Braxton.
Speaker 1:I think I'd love you more.
Speaker 2:Braxton may have some choice words, but it's with love.
Speaker 3:What choice words would he have?
Speaker 2:I can't say them on live, on live, amanda are, you are you guys gonna? Are you guys going to break up or am I going to have a stepdad?
Speaker 5:I am 11. Or just another stepmom for us to share, but he's gay.
Speaker 1:How weird would it be.
Speaker 3:You'll all be drunk.
Speaker 1:You guys are just alcoholics. To have your old stepmom back.
Speaker 3:You're still here now.
Speaker 1:But it's like you never left. But in the family, Like you know, Like legally yeah.
Speaker 2:Can I say no.
Speaker 5:Turns out we're just switching. Caleb and your dad have spent some time together.
Speaker 2:Hey, all right, all right, never mind the news. What's the news? You're not, so I have switched careers.
Speaker 3:It's same field. Yeah, I don't want to give any names, but I don't mind giving a name to where I'm going. But it's here's my thing. I worked for this company that I worked for. I was there 11 years.
Speaker 3:Yeah, this company that I worked for. I was there 11 years, yeah, and what's crazy to me is I worked my very first job, which was Granny's Furniture, in Kokomo, indiana. I was there for 12 years and then I left and went to another job for a year and then I came back and opened another furniture store with a friend of mine, and we did that.
Speaker 1:How long did you work?
Speaker 3:there 10 years and then I did some other jobs and then I went to errands and then I was at errands for I just said it 11. I wasn't supposed to say it 11 years. Why can't you say it? Well, I can say it. I just like to keep all that separate.
Speaker 1:So I don't stop burping, I'm going to throw up. I'm serious.
Speaker 3:You need to get control of yourself and your drinking. This is an intervention. There are numbers to call. So yeah, Career changes are scary. Have you ever changed careers, Brayden?
Speaker 2:Yep, what did you change? Military to corporate? Oh it was. I still hate it. I miss the military so much.
Speaker 3:You miss the military. Wow, I didn't think I'd hear you say that.
Speaker 2:I miss it real bad. I don't miss the. I don't miss the running the PT Per se, yeah, but I do. I mean my closest coworkers, two and a half hours away I'm that is. That is something I will never be able to get used to.
Speaker 5:I thought you would miss the hierarchy, like in the military.
Speaker 2:I miss that real bad what you like.
Speaker 5:your level of respect is based off of your ranking and nothing else, and it's labeled Everybody. You know I'm above you. I'm below you. This is how I'm supposed to treat you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I do not enjoy flip. I enjoyed the flip for like a second.
Speaker 3:So you would feel better if you had co-workers all the time. It's the isolation that you don't like.
Speaker 2:It's the isolation and it's the everything virtual. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. It would be hard. I am constantly on the road and there's constant meetings or calls or whatever other bullshit, and I have to always. That's why I have that clip in my car, so I don't want to have to keep looking at slow motion.
Speaker 3:Okay, yeah.

Speaker 2:I could do all of this so much better I've had four interviews in the last month, smoked all of them. I got all four jobs.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I just didn't take any of them. Better hope nobody from your current employer listens to the podcast.
Speaker 2:What are you gonna do treat me better?
Speaker 1:well, I had to take notes in interviews, um, and which would be the worst thing?
Speaker 5:I'd be like, is that?
Speaker 3:really think. What did you think of?
Speaker 2:the people being interviewed 100%. Judge them off their appearance. How many times did?
Speaker 5:you have to stop yourself from saying are you sure that's the answer you want to give?
Speaker 2:We wore jeans to an interview, did you think?
Speaker 5:any of them were hot.
Speaker 1:There were a couple of cute ones.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're real not good at answering questions. The man asked a question. Did you think any of them were hot?
Speaker 1:I said there were a couple of cute ones Was.
Speaker 2:Darren Spring cute and hot. Hot is like what's the leap?
Speaker 5:Cute is like oh he's cute, he's a little baby. He's a little baby, he's cute they are babies.
Speaker 2:They are babies, are you two?
Speaker 1:goddamn cougars or something.
Speaker 3:They are now.
Speaker 1:Basically now and then hot is like take off the shirt. Oh, let's see, I could have said that maybe once, but anyway. So in this, in this interview, there's actually a nude interview, sorry. Yeah, there's a panel of six and I'm just back there taking notes and what type of notes would you take?
Speaker 5:for fuck's sakes depends on. There's six of them and they can't keep their own notes.
Speaker 3:How many no they did? How did you determine what?
Speaker 4:notes you were keeping.
Speaker 1:My ears are so hot. Well, I know which person of the panel I was taking notes for.
Speaker 5:Oh, so you're only taking notes for one of them. So do they have six fucking note takers in there?
Speaker 1:No, Because that would be no. No, I would understand why taxes are. So I have questions. My what were you keeping notes on? Um, just my thoughts, like um.
Speaker 3:So okay, so everybody in there is uh, knowledgeable on what they're hiring for right and I can't say I want to fight no, don't be. No, don't be too specific I hate fire dumb fuck, shut up.
Speaker 1:What are you mad at me about, oh?
Speaker 2:I get it now and I don't.
Speaker 1:So I'm there, I'm, I'm looking. I guess I'm being the judgmental person. Okay, I, I'm saying.
Speaker 2:How many wiener sizes did you guess? And be honest, none.
Speaker 1:I'm saying like, I'm trying not to lose my job. I'm going to let you off the hook, thank you.
Speaker 3:Thank God, I'm going to let you off the hook. Thank God, how do you feel like you do in?
Speaker 1:interviews I do pretty good. You think you talk too much. No, I don't. I definitely don't talk too much.
Speaker 3:Really yeah. What do you think you do too much of in an interview?
Speaker 2:Cleavage.
Speaker 1:Lip licking yeah.
Speaker 2:Let me see what that looks like Seduction. I give off way too much seduction.
Speaker 5:I crawl on top of the desk too often.
Speaker 3:Have anyone in this room ever said I care too much God, no, no.
Speaker 5:Care too much about what your job yes.
Speaker 3:I guess my job is, I guess, my biggest, well tell, me something your biggest weakness. Oh, I just care too much.
Speaker 5:This one interview, I'm too much of a perfectionist is usually my thing.
Speaker 2:This one thing I expect everybody to care.
Speaker 5:I'm too hard on myself my level of caring.
Speaker 2:This one, this interview with this job that I was very seriously considering. He says what's your biggest strength? I said what's your biggest weakness? I said confidence. I can come off like a cocky bastard or I can make you giggle. One or the other is going to get me somewhere, dude. That's been how I've lived my entire life.
Speaker 3:It's going to get me somewhere.
Speaker 2:This guy was like so could you push the button when the fries are done, Can you?
Speaker 5:can you salt them fries confidently enough? Do you flip with your right hand or your left hand?
Speaker 1:They asked. So you know, one of the questions is like so everybody, top or bottom, everybody that's been sitting there this week, has pretty much said the same thing. So what is it that you bring to the table? What is it that you think you it that you bring to the table? What is it that you think you could that you bring to the table more?
Speaker 5:than any of the other candidates. Oh yeah, those answers are all going to be cookie cutter.
Speaker 1:Someone said well, I didn't think you'd ever ask that and I'm not really good at selling myself. That's what we're here for. I was taking notes and I looked up and I thought it's real easy.
Speaker 2:You just gotta look up this website and create a profile why did you interview what?
Speaker 3:were you even doing here?
Speaker 1:did you just think you'd walk in the room and they'd be like yep, you see, that's my issue, my confidence.
Speaker 2:I'm like, yes, they're gonna look at me, I got a haircut. They're gonna be like you got the job you're so handsome.
Speaker 1:Then there were times I would give up on taking notes because there was nothing.
Speaker 5:There was no saving it, did you just?
Speaker 1:write no, yes and circle it. I would take notes in the beginning. Then I would say nope, I've done that.
Speaker 5:Interviewing sometimes.
Speaker 3:Does interviewing sometimes? Does it make it down? Absolutely not. Does it make more sense? Are you? How do you feel about the question? What are your salary salary expectations? It terrified you say so what do you brayden? If we were to move forward, what would your salary expectations be? $80,000. Okay, jams, if we decide to move forward with you, what would your salary expectations be? Well, it really would depend, Depend on I would you know what You're exactly right? I can tell just by this that you interview like a champ.
Speaker 1:No, I just I don't know. I guess I've never really been asked that question honestly um yeah, yeah they usually don't ask that in hourly jobs just have sex with people with that.
Speaker 2:That's not true did I get paid with wiener wiener?
Speaker 1:I mean damn it. Obviously I wouldn't be going into an interview in a job that was paying less than I was making. Sometimes I don't put posts to pay. That's what. That's kind of why they talk about the salary expectation. That's in a job that was paying less than I was making Sometimes.
Speaker 5:I don't post the pay.
Speaker 2:That's kind of my thing. That's why they talk about the salary expectation. That's kind of my thing. On it too, like I take my salary and it's either it's usually right above it.
Speaker 3:Why the hell not? Okay, I don't know. Ams, what would you say?
Speaker 5:So I have been in a couple different positions.
Speaker 3:Yes, you have with me to to handle that differently.
Speaker 5:Like the last job that I took, I I wasn't going there for income, I was going there for the experience, so I didn't care. I said well, I understand that I'm coming in here with just my own personal knowledge of this, no professional understanding. So whatever you're offering is probably what I'll have to take Negotiable.
Speaker 3:Negotiable this last position I took.
Speaker 5:I knew, because of my drive and other factors, I'm not taking this position for under this, and then I added some to it.
Speaker 1:I guess all the things that I've applied for. I have known what they pay because it's a pay scale, so think about it.
Speaker 3:The reason I asked that question is if you're interviewing somebody and they sit across from you and they say, you know you're interviewing someone and you say, okay, mr Jones, what are your salary expectations? And they say, well, mr Broins, I would like to make fifteen dollars an hour. Do you think that's OK?
Speaker 5:What's your, what's the average pay that you're paying your employees? I mean, we have to have a baseline.
Speaker 3:Let's just say we.
Speaker 5:Are we working at McDonald's or are we working at mcdonald's or are we working?
Speaker 3:um, somewhere higher, I mean. I guess that part matters. But let's say it's a sales job somewhere I when someone comes in and don't give me the reason, just give me the answer. Right now I don't know. Okay, is 15, okay, are we talking about the number?
Speaker 5:Because I don't like when people talk in hourly rate that tells me they're shorter-sighted than I'd like them to be.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that scares the shit out of me, you want them to give you, like I would like to make $15 an hour $60,000 a year.
Speaker 2:I'd give them the wrong salary annually and I'd be like that's not alright to you. $15 now.
Speaker 3:I'd toy with it If somebody said okay, so same person, or same interview, not same interview, same job, different person. What are your salary expectations? I'd like to make $80,000 a year.
Speaker 2:I'd pick him over the Alaska why? Because he, just like she said, he seems a bit more knowledgeable about it.
Speaker 5:No, it's not knowledgeable to me. It's longer, it's longevity. Someone who is coming in looking to make $15 an hour has just put in their mind that that's the goal that they need to hit to survive. And I'm not looking for the person who's. I'm not looking for the person who's. I'm just going to come here because I absolutely have to and if I don't show up, I'm not going to eat. I want someone to come in and this is an opportunity and if I grow, then the company can grow and we can grow together. And I'm going to look at it big scale versus. I just see what's right here in front of me right now.
Speaker 3:Yes, you want an example Sure.
Speaker 2:I was asked that same question very recently. Yeah, how much money are you looking to make All of it Giggled? See? That's the confidence baby, and I got the job.
Speaker 5:You're a dumb motherfucker.
Speaker 2:I said all of it.
Speaker 5:He said ha ha, ha, give me a number, so he didn't like your humor.
Speaker 2:Well he did, he laughed like that, and then shut it off. Give me a number, though, and I was like Eighty thousand dollars, and he was like that's doable. No, it wasn't.
Speaker 4:I got the offer letter.
Speaker 2:Fifty, or it was a sales job. Fifty, or commissions whichever is greater. And I was like oh, that's.
Speaker 5:you, sons of bitches, are a pyramid scheme. The and I was like you, sons of bitches, are a pyramid scheme, aren't you? The sales pitch is always you could make a hundred grand a year. Yeah, you fucking can't.
Speaker 2:I went to a pyramid building in Indianapolis. You went and wore three of them. Yes, I went to the pyramid one. I went up to the eighth floor. Brian interviewed me. He explained to me the epitome of a pyramid scheme.
Speaker 2:You will, not, you will not the epitome that's my words In a pyramid. And I looked at him, cause he's wearing cargo shorts, I'm wearing a collared shirt, you're better dressed than your interviewer. So I looked at him and he said any questions floor is yours. No wrong questions, no bad questions. And I was like, all right, no bad questions. And I was like, alright, is this a pyramid scheme? And he said no. I said you sure?
Speaker 1:because this doesn't matter what people wear.
Speaker 3:Yes, you shouldn't mean doesn't matter what people wear it doesn't in a courtroom, but it should.
Speaker 5:I've never told you my like. The first time that I ever really went out and interviewed on my own was I walked into a boot store in Kansas and I wanted to get a job there. It was in this little town off of where I went to school and I showed up to my interview in a suit and they hired me just based off of that and they were like nobody has ever you showed up in a suit Like black dress, pants, a button-down collared shirt and a black suit blazer.
Speaker 1:What's wrong with that? I just wish I could see it.
Speaker 3:What kind of shoes were you wearing? Dress shoes, black flats.
Speaker 4:And you wore a jacket.
Speaker 3:Yes, yeah, did you have one of those?
Speaker 5:Only men can wear suits.
Speaker 2:See, there's the thing.
Speaker 4:There's girl ties and there's boy ties.
Speaker 3:Which one did you have? Did you wear one of those bolus ties? What are those called?
Speaker 5:Yeah, that's the girl tie. That's not the girl tie you dumped in, it's not? No, that's like a cowboy thing, shit.
Speaker 2:Did you wear? Wear one of those you got the job, you got the job.
Speaker 2:No, I'm not telling you a fucking story go okay, here's a question for you have you ever given an interview, like been the interviewer? Yes, yes, really, yeah, yes, well then, that's kind of a dumb question. I was gonna. Here's a here's scenario. You don't know, gar I. This is hard because I already know the answer. I don't know why you're asking If you think that if you weren't our dad duh, but if you interviewed he and I separately, who do you think you would hire quicker?
Speaker 1:Ooh, I don't know. It depends on the job.
Speaker 2:We're both qualified, whatever job it is. We're both qualified Just based off personality, Based off of us as people, Because that plays a part in it too. You could be. I ran into one of the guys today. This dude was an IT supervisor. He was making so much money he had a mohawk up to here, Everything else shaved, so obviously he's a weirdo. Right, he looks like a weirdo.
Speaker 5:I don't know that you can say that he looked like a weirdo.
Speaker 2:Wearing a military installation and he had a mohawk up to here. You're a weirdo.
Speaker 3:To answer your question do I hire you or do I hire your brother Faster? It depends on what the job is. Seriously, because that does matter If it's a personable job.
Speaker 5:I'm going to hire you If I'm going to do a job in sales, it's you.
Speaker 3:If I'm going to do a job in something very technical that requires a lot of brain power that requires that and less social skills. It's going to be Garrett, but that's not negative towards you, I'm just, I'm a commissioner.
Speaker 1:I will tell you you're just better with people.
Speaker 5:How about this? No, are you different if it's a female interviewing you versus a male?
Speaker 2:Absolutely. I do too, because I want to see her cookie.
Speaker 5:Excuse me.
Speaker 2:I don't know. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I'm doing my best to.
Speaker 1:It's just funny that we're talking about this because you know you just got a new job my charm turns on with a woman interviewer? Shut the fuck up. I'm talking. My HR lady with my job now. I flirted with her so much. I'm talking.
Speaker 2:I don't give a shit, excuse me, I'm not finished.
Speaker 5:We are all running into our microphones.
Speaker 3:Jams has something important to say. Jams, you have the floor.
Speaker 1:And you know the week I've had.
Speaker 4:So I heard there were some visitors in your store looking for a job there were.
Speaker 3:That's an all fair discussion, oh no, no, no, it's not, no, it is Okay yeah.
Speaker 5:What happens when I lower my voice like that, you don't just listen. She thought she was going to pull a fast one, I think, as a man interviewing. So same question you or Garrett. I will probably hire Garrett over you as a woman. As a woman, because your confidence that you say Comes off as yeah for a woman. I did an interview with a guy who constantly fucking talked over me and I'm like I'm going to be your direct supervisor and you can't even let me finish my questions or not talk over me during the interview.
Speaker 2:You'd hire Garrett over me.
Speaker 5:He talks over you now.
Speaker 2:He talks over everybody now Not in an interview setting.
Speaker 5:He wouldn't. What do you mean? No, you're you now. He talks over everybody now, not in an interview setting. He wouldn't. What do you mean?
Speaker 2:No, your Garrett would talk over Jesus if he could.
Speaker 5:Your people-iness and your fastness comes off or could come off as aggressive or as too forthcoming or forthputting.
Speaker 1:Alf said he bets you interview better, hold on Forthputting.
Speaker 3:That's a word now. Did you just say fourth pudding, not forthcoming fourth pudding? Is that p-u-d-v-i-n-g it is.
Speaker 5:We're close to Thanksgiving. Fourth pudding, it's after third pudding here's the issue.
Speaker 2:just before fifth pudding, I was like you got got it, dude. You know what? You shouldn't hire me, you're right.
Speaker 5:I'm just saying, if you interview with a female, you might want to dial it back Not dial it back, just keep that in your head.
Speaker 3:I'm talking over everybody.
Speaker 5:I've realized men can talk to each other differently than men and women can interact in a professional setting.
Speaker 3:Here than men and women can interact in a professional setting. Here's what I've learned tonight. Today. Can't wait. We need more time for this subject. It turned out this is good, but, alas, we must move on. Must move on.
Speaker 5:It's the most wonderful time Of this goddamn podcast.
Speaker 1:Yee-haw, did you really think this was going to be a feel-good segment Are?
Speaker 5:you insane like me.
Speaker 1:Welcome to Relationship Advice with Ams and Jams. I see red, red, red Well you asked for our advice.
Speaker 5:We just hope you're ready for brutal honesty.
Speaker 3:You're not getting drunk on the podcast, I'm not drunk.
Speaker 5:Are you just wanting to move on to Ams and Jams before her liquor wears off? Yeah, yeah, I whip my hair back and forth.
Speaker 3:I whip my hair and forth I whip my hair back and forth, and now you're singing Dear Ams and Jams. I will say first that this is not always true, but for the most part, wherever I suggest something to my wife, she will not even entertain the thought.
Speaker 1:That's fair.
Speaker 3:I'm really bad at that with Caleb because but if I suggest something and then someone else says it in a slightly different way, oh, yeah.
Speaker 3:She does that thing. Great idea you should leave that. She will usually talk to me first about an issue, like when she is in a car accident. I am the first call but will then talk to other people to figure out what to do next. Oh, she was recently in a hit and run accident. I told her to pull over somewhere safe and call the police to start the process of filing a report. She hangs up and calls her mother to figure out what to do. Ams and jams Am.
Speaker 2:I being overly sensitive here, or is this something?
Speaker 3:I should try and talk to her about.
Speaker 2:Good news is it's not going away. This is your life now, Bobby Jams.
Speaker 3:This is you not going away?
Speaker 1:Are you still burping up your? This is your life now, bubby Jams, this is you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think Caleb sent that in. Yeah, I think he did too Especially about calling your mom. I don't like your opinion. I'm going to call my mom, you know, I don't know if I should. Okay, I'm going to say it.
Speaker 2:It's not usually my mom I call no, no, no, no, let's stop, let's just stop, let's just stop, let's just stop Thanksgiving is going to suck.
Speaker 3:I give her brutal advice. Yes, If she's wrong, I tell her hey, Because in all wide open space here I feel like I owe it to be honest with her about how she is because when we were married I should have said shut the fuck up and didn't. But she's listened to me and I think I've helped. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I do that with Caleb. I do that with Caleb. I do that with Caleb.
Speaker 5:Well, not when he probably should stop there so here's my thing I don't think she respects you, and talking to her is not going to help that, because it kind of sounds like whining and I think it's the only way it'll come across.
Speaker 3:Do you know what used to drive?
Speaker 2:me. If she starts getting gifts from, I think it's the only way it'll come across. Do you know what used to drive me crazy? Finish your thought If she starts getting gifts from dudes that you haven't met yet, but they're just family friends sound the alarm.
Speaker 5:Are you?
Speaker 3:talking from experience Sounds like something you've experienced.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a goddamn toy box got made for my kids and I said I could do that and she said because while you were gone, they were what about what?
Speaker 5:about your shower head getting fixed or your washer getting installed.
Speaker 3:Not by you, but your dad bought uh. Next next subject, or not? Next next subject?
Speaker 5:Oh, that was just a friend helping out Is him being sensitive.
Speaker 3:Oh, go ahead, your story, your story, my um, I'm trying to think of what I was trying to say specifically. Can't wait, you used to hate this oh, I did used to hate this when I was married to Jamie.
Speaker 1:Oh, imagine that.
Speaker 3:Her nieces were little girls at the time. No, this is nothing bad, they were little.
Speaker 1:They were little. Yeah, and no, this is nothing bad on them or anybody else. Yeah, at the time, careful. No, this is nothing bad.
Speaker 3:They were little, no, they were little, yeah, and no, this is nothing bad on them or anybody else Okay, but they would stay with your mom and dad. A lot Mm-hmm, and God forbid.
Speaker 2:Oh boy.
Speaker 3:Pop Pop be left in charge of those children, and I used to wonder wait a minute. I too am a man. I remember this, I remember this goddamn conversation.
Speaker 5:I'm having to stop everything I'm doing to go pick up these kids To go pick up kids that aren't even mine, just so somebody else Isn't inconvenienced, didn't have to do it.
Speaker 1:Well, you know, it's just my dad. You know I remember these fights but you know I would say my dad, but your dad will watch Isabella and.
Speaker 3:Piper, he does a lot.
Speaker 1:And he would have done it then too, he would have yeah, it's just, my mom didn't like to disturb him.
Speaker 5:Yes, because she respected him and his space and his time.
Speaker 3:And that exactly is where I was upset, because I'm like well, where the fuck's mine?
Speaker 5:that is a hundred percent respect where's mine, because I will tell you if I can, if I can keep the marriage if I can keep from disrupting his day and I have confidence that stuff will get done I will do it. Problem is, most of the time I don't have confidence in anybody else to do it oh, yeah, so I, these kids, I will inconvenience every motherfucker.
Speaker 4:You want another shot?
Speaker 1:I'm going to need somebody to be doing something for me. Dear Ams and Jams, you're horrible dude.
Speaker 3:I know this is not the worst thing in the world, but recently he was talking to his mom on speakerphone. I guess she's talking about her husband, but recently he was talking to his mom on speakerphone. I guess she's talking about her husband, but recently he was talking to his mom on speakerphone and she asked did the wife calm down yet? Oh, just give it time.
Speaker 3:She always does I was in shock he's telling her too many details and I don't even tell my mom this kind of thing. Not sure what to do because I moved four hours from my family to be with him and his mom lives a couple blocks from us. Oh boy, I feel like I can't tell him anything or he will report it to her. I vaguely remember having the same problem a couple of months ago, but I thought he was understanding to my feelings and how it makes me uncomfortable that he shares so much with his mother, Ams or jams. Please help me because I don't know how much of a support system I have here. I really appreciate your help and love your show, Thank you.
Speaker 1:Oh, thank you, Leave him.
Speaker 3:I'm sorry, it's the rest of your puny little life.
Speaker 5:So that is a problem, that he's opening up that much to her about your relationship, because let me tell you a tale and have him tune in for just this part of the podcast, not the rest, because then he probably won't listen to the advice.
Speaker 2:Let me tell you a tale why do I feel like I'm about to?
Speaker 3:get a little story about a man named jed.
Speaker 5:Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fan of young, young man who recently gotten married. Oh shit, and he told his family of all of his woes in his relationship. Oh, and they were so bad and his family felt like they needed to defend him and come to his aid. It's back, and then two weeks later, none of that was actually a problem anymore and they were magically in love again. And the family still said but wait, we still hate her, still hate her, still hate her. I wonder who that?
Speaker 4:dickhead was.
Speaker 1:It's just a tale of a little boy, you know. The difference here is we were right.
Speaker 5:I mean we were right, but we wanted there wouldn't have been nearly as much turmoil if we didn't know, and so I learned, I don't need to know.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, no, I disagree there. Jams loves details.
Speaker 5:There wouldn't have been as much turmoil in our lives. There was going to always be turmoil there, where they got fake married, there was always going to be turmoil there.
Speaker 1:But it wouldn't have affected us, which made I think it would have, because she's a fucking psycho bitch. And eventually, but not as fast maybe she was always gonna be a psycho bitch, so she I I always hated her.
Speaker 5:Bottom line is you don't like to discuss your relationship with your family. Don't't do it, yeah that is true. I agree with that Because when you're mad at your wife right now, or your husband, your parents take it to heart and they think that you're married to a piece of shit.
Speaker 2:It was three guys, where else do I go with the information? I can't just goddamn tweet it hey do you want to know something? It's been killing me. It's been, it's been right here.
Speaker 5:It's been trying to get out I'm talking before it's been trying to get out before, when it was trivial fights.
Speaker 3:Here's what I think, I think I think you're missing the point of her rant.
Speaker 2:I'm not missing it. I understand it much more now.
Speaker 5:What I'm saying is it was so much, it was a dump truck thrown on me and I was like I just I have to disperse this information somewhere.
Speaker 2:Let me go to. Let me go back home.
Speaker 1:She's driven like a dump truck.
Speaker 5:Yeah, dear hams and jams rode in one line too.
Speaker 1:I just don't know how this we're gonna help them. You already did, don't?
Speaker 5:talk to your family. He should not be talking to his family. Have him listen. No good ideas come from that.
Speaker 3:I think her point was that you Continued to go back. Yeah, dear Ems and Jams.
Speaker 5:And then we were the bad guys. Tonight your family hates me.
Speaker 3:I had switched phones with my husband yeah, bitch, so he could pick up food we ordered while I downloaded episodes of a podcast we usually listen to together on his phone so he could have it to listen to on an unexpected family trip.
Speaker 5:He is leaving on tomorrow While I had his An unexpected family trip that he is leaving on. Yes.
Speaker 3:While I had his phone.
Speaker 5:I just want to make sure I heard that right.
Speaker 3:Are you done?
Speaker 5:I got that fact straight While I had his phone.
Speaker 3:I want you to know right. As of right now, there is a bonus fourth Ams and Jams question that I'm trying to get to. Okay, that I think is delightful, so shut the fuck up, he's saying, while I had his phone messages from Discord popped up from a name I didn't recognize, saying they missed cuddling with him.
Speaker 2:Slutty little kitten. Eight nine eight nine.
Speaker 3:I opened up discord and found messages with multiple people going back eight months to when he quit his day job to work full-time on his passion, photography. Oh, he hasn't worked at all in the last eight months and I've been giving him the benefit of the doubt that he was working hard on building his business while I bust my ass working 14 hour days to support us and pay all of the bills.
Speaker 3:He has been talking to multiple people on Discord and acting out sexual fantasies on VR chat and also cuddling and falling asleep with these people. How's he cuddling?
Speaker 2:It's virtually this dude's even weirder.
Speaker 3:That happens. People can VR cuddle.
Speaker 1:I'm not sure I don't feel like it would be the same.
Speaker 2:You can. You can VR and there's certain videos that sync to it. It's too powerful, yeah, but you don't feel.
Speaker 5:But the way the VR works. If you watch those videos, those people really think that those things are happening to them.
Speaker 3:They have been. They have also been sending him photos and videos of themselves and their bodies and sex toys.
Speaker 2:This feels like to me this is boys and girls.
Speaker 3:He swears he has never asked any of them to send him this stuff.
Speaker 1:Just do it honey, he says that he is sorry and it will never happen again.
Speaker 3:But about a year ago he was emotionally cheating on me with someone else on Discord and VR chat, and this time it is of a sexual nature with multiple people. Yeah, he swears he never did anything or got off to any of it.
Speaker 5:Oh, I only beat off to you.
Speaker 3:He often sleeps in his office in our house, because he stays up late playing, because he's cuddling them video games that's what discord is and I go to bed early, as I wake up at 5 am for work and I'm a light sleeper, l-i-g-h-t. So him coming in during the night would wake me up. I don't want to end our 11 and a half year relationship, but I also don't think I can ever trust him to be on vr, which he loves, or discord ever again.
Speaker 1:Ladies, not us I, I, okay, I've got a question. Why the fuck don't you want to leave him?
Speaker 3:ask her real fast uh, why don't you want to leave him?
Speaker 1:because hold on.
Speaker 3:Let her answer if he's cheating on you.
Speaker 4:Is he cheating?
Speaker 1:That is an emotion. Yes, yes, I think VR does make it cheating.
Speaker 4:I think if you're texting pictures, to another girl.
Speaker 5:That's cheating.
Speaker 1:I think if you're texting another woman about sexual acts with them, that's cheating, or man.
Speaker 5:Whether it's the woman or the man, we're not particular.
Speaker 1:You are cheating the moment, that you are doing something you don't want your significant other to know.
Speaker 3:What is discord?
Speaker 5:I think it's like a gaming chat.
Speaker 2:It's a multi thing.
Speaker 5:Like. You can be in like like, no matter what game you're playing. You can still log in through that and chat and play the games together. Got it. Okay.
Speaker 1:So, we're telling this girl to end the 11 and a half year relationship.
Speaker 3:Yes, Of course he doesn't seem like he's got a lot of burning desire to get to work.
Speaker 2:I could not imagine.
Speaker 3:I can't imagine cuddling with someone virtually.
Speaker 2:Well, I couldn't imagine not sleeping next to my wife at night. Seriously. Ever, I had a wife. I didn't want to sleep next to her.
Speaker 4:Except for all the times that I did Shut up.
Speaker 2:What I'm saying is I could not imagine not sleeping next to Alexis.
Speaker 5:Even if I am, I didn't sleep next to your dad one time. You slept outside.
Speaker 2:Even if I am seething angry at her, I could not imagine not sleeping next to her. Dear Ams and Jams.
Speaker 3:This is a bonus Bonus, Bonus Ams and Jams. This better be juicy.
Speaker 5:Because Jams is drunk.
Speaker 3:I want you to know the very first line is why we're reading this one. Okay, screw, ams and jams. I need manly advice. That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 5:That's what I'm talking about. What would it be? A, d and gray session?
Speaker 3:Another shot fired. That's not right Last week.
Speaker 2:I went out with my advice, excuse me.
Speaker 3:Last week I went out with my wife and some friends for some drinks. Here we go. When we were about to leave, my wife insisted on driving, saying she doesn't trust my driving because I was drunk wrong. Oh, she also doesn't think you're a man, got it this pissed me off and I ended up leaving her at the club as a mistake, because guess who took her home I feel guilty for this. We've not spoken for a week now. I don't know what to do.
Speaker 5:Here's where this turns wrong okay, when you let her ask hold on everything up to now is okay.
Speaker 3:it's the next part. Something needs done because we started out gangbusters. Let me read that first line again screw ha M's and Jams. I need manly advice. Yes, that's because you don't want to hear legitimate advice. And here's the next line Bingo Danny or Brayden Danny.
Speaker 2:I think Danny should my name is Denny dickhead.
Speaker 3:Where do I start with the apology, brayden? I'll let you take it, because there's no Danny here that I know of.
Speaker 2:I'm not sure who Danny is my alter eagle with my big eagle.
Speaker 5:Eagle of my big giant penis.
Speaker 3:I like it when you guys take shots in the show. James, when was the last time you ever acted like a fucking bird on this podcast?
Speaker 1:When's the last time Amanda said my alter ego?
Speaker 3:I guess that does trigger. So I mean I think you just got to come right out.
Speaker 4:You just got to say hey, about that whole thing, I was a drunken idiot.
Speaker 3:I was a dickhead Screw, ems and jams. That started out. That's what it said. Oh my bad. As a matter of fact, just you know what.
Speaker 5:Oh, not to all of it. You want to get advice from me, or Danny?
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, it hurt, you have the men you have to. Here's the crazy thing.
Speaker 2:You're not goddamn Danny either.
Speaker 5:You know what you guys can mansplain this shit to each other, fine.
Speaker 2:Figure it out. Let's hear it. We'll get your wife's letter here in a little bit With her you do have to come right out and say baby, look, you're the most beautiful girl in the world. I love you more than anything. See, look you already you know what You're forgiven.
Speaker 3:No, because I'm like bullshit, so you have to come out, own up to it, self-deprecate for the next 15 minutes Act like every other fucking Hollywood piece of shit out there and say, well, I'm going to go to rehab for my drinking because I treated you that way. Just own up to it. I fucked up. I'm sorry, you were a little boozed up. I'm not going to do it anymore. I shouldn't have driven home. I'm an idiot. Now can we have makeup sex and get this over with?
Speaker 2:That's where you fuck up If you tell me no to the sex. Well, I don't like the way you slighted me the other night. Bitch, how about that? I just wanted to get home. I don't like the way you spoke to me in front of people.
Speaker 3:I made it, so everything seemed to be okay. Turns out, everybody's still breathing. You had to walk.
Speaker 2:You probably needed the exercise it off on the couch that night. That's fun. I think they should listen.
Speaker 3:I think they should ask for our advice Maybe we should have a new Danny and Bray session. Hey, is Alf still with us? I don't know, he said he was leaving, and then he said Bray Don could interview better.
Speaker 3:So, hey, listen to Alf's podcast the day after or the day before yesterday, I think it is that'd be two days yes, the day before yesterday I have to catch up on some and, uh, it is good.

Speaker 1:Is Lyle on the podcast as well. That's awesome.
Speaker 3:And Lyle. I don't think there's a better mate for Kyla than Lyle.

That's awesome, really shows that no-transcript how they interact with one another. And I even made a joke the other night when we were talking about Lyle said something quite inappropriate which is not in his wheelhouse, and he made a joke and I felt uncomfortable and I was like, hey, I'm on Beyond After Dark here.
