Speaker 1:One can go without Robin.
Speaker 3:You shouldn't laugh. It's a nice politically incorrect joke. Uh, welcome to the podcast. I am laughing at that. It's funny. We should live in a world where you can tell jokes. I'm chubby you should.
Speaker 2:You should have just ran with it. That's the funniest shit I've ever heard. You should have you die with it at this point once you've laughed, you just continue laughing.
Speaker 3:Oh no, oh no, you can't stop. Brayden, how was your week?
Speaker 2:that was, I was just face to face with a raccoon Boy. That could fall right into these, but you want to try and make it worse, I was about 20 feet away from a raccoon. That's better In your attic, in my attic.
Speaker 3:In my second story, attic. Now I had to give you fatherly advice.
Speaker 2:You said you can't fire a weapon in your house.
Speaker 3:That's what you said Two times on two separate occasions, Days apart. Braden has the idea. He asked me how far were your .22 shoot?
Speaker 2:No, I didn't. I said, how loud would it be?
Speaker 1:Real loud? I said, no, those aren't real loud.
Speaker 3:You can't shoot a gun at city limits Loud enough that someone can tell the neighbors are shooting a gun, so I was finally like I was trying to let him like work through things and then I got worried he was going to fire a weapon in that attic. So I'm like hey, buddy, you shouldn't be, you shouldn't be firing a gun in your house ever. So what I say?
Speaker 2:What'd I say After I'm going to chop some bitch up. Then you said something you want to come get our machete? Nope, I had my own hatchet. I had my hatchet, I had my flashlight and I was like call me closer.
Speaker 6:You know what he did he was going to fuck you up.
Speaker 2:You know what that little bastard did?
Speaker 6:Brayden wasn't going to have a face off like the bitch I am. Hey, those things are you. I worried bitch, I don't have time.
Speaker 2:I'm warm, I'm comfy, you can get fucked, yeah. And then alex, so I am saying some very colorful things when I am on this ladder, not yeah, it's unacceptable to say around you, let's just put that way level fives. I'm halfway in the attic, I'm halfway out of the the attic, and Alexis hears me going to town on this thing verbally.
Speaker 3:I'm verbally assaulting this raccoon, I was afraid you might be sexually assaulting it, based on what you just said.
Speaker 2:Well, that's my next option. But all I hear is the most innocent little voice downstairs say what did you say? She thinks I'm talking to her. I say, baby, I got a raccoon right here I'm. We're in a staring contest and finally I, I swear to god, I look down to say it, I look up, gone. Oh no, he's not gone.
Speaker 2:No, he went into ella's walls yeah, he's in there somewhere and then you know what alexis says to me, because I've been this up, I've been saying I'll chop it a little bit, I don't care. Alexis said you want me to go scare it out of there. And I was like no, I want you to let it stay where it's at, because I'm in no position to fight.
Speaker 3:Now, the beauty of that is it can't get in the house.
Speaker 1:So, you're okay? No, now, there's a live trap up there now though.
Speaker 2:I got a big live trap. I got a little live trap. What'd you put in the trap? Chicken, raw chicken.
Speaker 4:So I'm going to get it out tomorrow.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna get it out tomorrow, and it was bad chicken. I have a question for you.
Speaker 3:Once you go up there and find the raccoon in the cave, he's gonna bring it down.
Speaker 4:I'm going to.
Speaker 2:I'm going to bring it down. How are you going to get it down? He's going to grab it and bring it down. I'm going to continue. I would take a fishing pole. I'm going to continue to verbally assault this raccoon Are we just going? To let it die in the cage?
Speaker 1:No, because the chicken's bad, it's going to smell. I leave Monday.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's true, and I'm going to very gingerly, pick it up and I'm gonna jump when it tries to fight you have no clue.
Speaker 3:If it bites, it's gonna bite well, it's in.
Speaker 2:It's in like a like a real deal trapping case.
Speaker 6:So he won't be able to get out, no, but he'll be able to bite your fingies when they come in and scratch there's, it's got a handle.
Speaker 2:So I'm going to shit my pants before everywhere and after.
Speaker 1:Make sure you wear gloves, Thanks.
Speaker 6:Five Nights at Freddy's.
Speaker 1:Because they're big and in the cage they run.
Speaker 6:Thank, you, fnaf, you know those pinching tools. They have the arm that folds down and you pull the trigger and it's good You're going to get you one of those.
Speaker 3:It's going to have to be real strong. Getting down those attic stairs is not easy when you're by yourself, let alone a raccoon that says I hate you and I want to eat your face, just so you know, let me out of this cage.
Speaker 6:How big was he? Is he 30 pounds? Is he 50 pounds? This is what I saw.
Speaker 3:This thing is walking in there and he's like, oh, this is good. Hey, oh the fuck, why'd that door close behind? There's gonna be up here, I'm fucking stuck in here and then you're gonna stick your big stupid head out and he's gonna be like you fucking did this to me and I'm gonna eat. You wait until I get out of here, motherfucker.
Speaker 1:So I I facetime, because when they go in their cage and they get stuck in there, they get ravenous and they they try to scratch themselves.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I get out of the cage I facetime caleb because he gave me this trap and this is, this is I see I go up in the attic after I clear, after I said how you getting it down after I seal off and the outside getting into my attic, I go up there, you see said raccoon, I go go downstairs, I get this trap all figured out. Those are hard to set up, mind you, I've never done it. So I ask Caleb, and he says Dezo, you got to shoot that thing. And then Jams from left field goes, he can't.
Speaker 2:He's in the city lit, so I show him my hatchet and he just starts laughing. And then I go. I set this up like this right and I go you're hatch, it's like an emergency one. Yes, yes, yes so they're eating the cats so and then at the end of it, just like everyone has said, he goes how are you gonna get that thing down?
Speaker 1:and I said I'm gonna carry it.
Speaker 2:He said now, when we get to that carrying point, it's gonna be a be a problem. They're eating the dogs, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I cannot wait to hear this on next week's show, or two weeks from now, it's going to be, because it's going to be a great story.
Speaker 2:There's a little one too. And another story the other night, alexis and I are sleeping in our bed together. Other night we, alexis and I, are sleeping in our bed together and at five in the morning there was a murder in our attic. I'm talking, it starts.
Speaker 3:I think there was a shitty like ex-wife raccoon up there and then there was another raccoon and they like met at the daycare.
Speaker 6:They caught the news.
Speaker 3:They met at the daycare and there was an incident.
Speaker 2:So it starts and the crazy thing is if you, once you hear footsteps and once you realize like this, like what's available above you to move around in, you can tell exactly where they're at. This fight started on the other end of the house. It ended behind Alexis and I's bed in the wall, and it was something. You think there's just two. No, no, no, this was something little. I think a raccoon killed a squirrel.
Speaker 6:Oh, that's going to smell nice in your walls.
Speaker 2:I think a raccoon killed a squirrel because, dude, something died Like it was screaming.
Speaker 3:You know it's funny. You say that because over the last it might have been a rat Our cameras outside. When we had that little worm snap over one night I had a possum in the front yard, a raccoon in the backyard and two cats backed by the. So now I know why our dogs wig out at night.
Speaker 6:Yeah, because and they're not afraid to come up, especially.
Speaker 3:Eddie with the possum up front. But that possum was just like wandering up like hey what's up?
Speaker 6:Possum's probably a nice place. You got Dude. I like the work you've done.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you got any food in there for me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's. But the cat dude, the cat that we have, bingo, b-i-n-g-o. He goes in the house and you know how like they talk about, like how animals can see spirits. Oh yeah, bingo can smell the vermin in our walls.
Speaker 3:Of course, because he goes from our couch. He's a hunter.
Speaker 2:He goes from our couch and he'll just stare right here, and then, as quick as he can, he'll go right over to our entertainment center and look up in the vent. You know, your grandmother one time lived in a trailer. Which one? Oh, okay, Trailer.
Speaker 3:I hear you Lived in a trailer, which, funny enough, but she had, I remember, going to her house and she didn't have the floor vents in.
Speaker 2:She didn't have the registers in.
Speaker 3:She didn't have the register covers in oh Christ, and I told her. I said Mom, you gotta put those in.
Speaker 2:And she was like oh, we don't have one.
Speaker 3:And one night her husband got up and tripped over what he thought was their cat and it was a possum in their house and there was a raccoon in there. Same night they had both scurried up in that house. You think you've got problems, not there.
Speaker 2:I'm firing a weapon City limits in my home.
Speaker 3:Do not care.
Speaker 2:Well, I would have fired one at a person.
Speaker 6:I'm shooting everything that moves. Everybody pissed me off. Who left Nacho out? This is too small for Eddie.

Speaker 6:I hate Patrick Mahomes. He probably hopes that that raccoon in your attic eats you.
Speaker 2:Patrick Mahomes is only worried about that irritating wife of his Quarterbacks.

Speaker 2:Oh yeah, and you have other athletes talking about it too.
Speaker 3:It's embarrassing. And he'll run to the sideline and then slow down, yeah, and then when you slow down, he picks back up and takes off, because he's just and there are some other quarterbacks are saying, hey, he's just using the rules. You got to play to win.

Speaker 2:C.
Speaker 3:Focus on the big picture and brainstorm creative solutions. Okay or D. Take immediate action and adapt as needed.
Speaker 1:D so this last time, this last time 38 years old. This last time, b would be my thing b rely on your intuition.
Speaker 3:Nope c c. Focus on the big picture no and look at the emotional outcome d take immediate action.
Speaker 2:No, it was a I mean, you said the second one a is first and everything. No, no. She said the third one holy A is first in everything. No, no, no.
Speaker 3:She said the third one first, holy shit. And then we said three, no, it was two. Okay, no, it was four.
Speaker 1:No, no it was definitely one.
Speaker 2:It was A. Obviously I thought about it before I did anything.
Speaker 1:I think right now, what's happening is all of her personalities are arguing yeah, they're like hey goddammit, I said it's, so D is your answer.
Speaker 6:Normally, D is the answer for jams.
Speaker 3:Jams does like the D, god damn. Question number two oh, this is a good one, okay, and you guys are going to be asked these too, so you might be ready.
Speaker 3:Oh shit, I wasn't In social situations, you tend to avoid small talk and perform more intentional conversations. Nope, you prefer one-on-one conversations that foster deep connections. Nope, all right. You seek opportunities to share ideas and collaborate creatively. Or d you tell the man you're talking to to put his penis in you? Oh, I'm sorry, I misread that one. You enjoy lively discussions and thrive in group interactions that one see. Well, let her decide. You can commentate. Do you seek opportunities to share ideas or do you like lively discussions and group interactions? Who wants waxed? Or prefer one-on-one conversations with deep connections?
Speaker 1:I don't think I really. What was the first one? Again where you, oh boy.
Speaker 3:You want me to read it in the order it is, or do you want me to give you an A? Avoid small talk and perform more intentional conversations.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't really like small talk. You don't like small talk? Okay, but I do. I don't mind crowds, but I don't really like them. But I can not perform. She can perform, god damn. Wait a second. I'm a performing artist, I can get through it. You know what I mean. I do.
Speaker 3:When it comes to making decisions, oh boy, you rely on logic and data to weigh the pros and cons, definitely not.
Speaker 2:Oh, I wish this was working. It's almost there. It's almost there it's a faint.
Speaker 6:Just imagine you could hear it.
Speaker 3:Follow your heart and prioritize the well-being of others. Oh, you explore various options with a focus on long-term impact or you make quick, instinct driven decisions and adjust later. How many options did you explore? It was a couple, wasn't it? Remember that time you said you want to go first. I'm regretting that now.
Speaker 1:I think I'm a mix between two of them, because I do think about other people's feelings, you do think about others's feelings, you do think about others, that's true what was.
Speaker 3:D again Make quick, instinct driven decisions and adjust later. C Explore various options with focus on long-term impact. C Got it All right. Next, your ideal work environment is one that is structured, organized and provides clear expectations, encourages collaboration and values emotional intelligence You've got it. Values independence and creativity, giving you space to express yourself. The next D is dynamic, fast paced and full of challenges. Or E you can come and go as you please and you don't have to show up ever if you don't want to.
Speaker 6:Is that an actual option? It is not A.
Speaker 3:So structured, organized and provides clear expectations.
Speaker 6:The question here, I think, is what is more comfortable versus what is better for productivity.
Speaker 2:I believe I agree with her. You liked your esthetician stuff. You like that schooling.
Speaker 6:I think the structured is probably much better for you.
Speaker 1:I need to know exactly what I'm doing when I go in or I do nothing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think you like structure at work.
Speaker 4:I think you like to be held accountable.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, I agree with that. We like to be held accountable. So, yeah, I agree with that. When faced with change Jams, you A carefully analyze and plan for potential challenges. Or you B focus on how it will impact relationships and emotions. C embrace it as an opportunity for innovation and growth. Or D dive in enthusiastically and adapt on the fly.
Speaker 2:There you go. You're a dive in kind of girl. No.
Speaker 1:I'm not now, not as much as I used to be.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, you've gotten older. You're not 24 anymore. Yeah, fake news.
Speaker 1:What's the think about others feelings? Was that B?
Speaker 3:Yeah, focus on how it will impact relationships and emotions. Yeah, b got it. In relationships, you value independence, freedom and mutual respect for individuality or honesty, loyalty and emotional depth, stimulation and open communication or D, excitement, spontaneity and a partner who encourages growth, not meaning their penis.
Speaker 6:I mean, that's helpful too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it is help. Christopher says D. I think that was the last question. I think he's answering. Yeah, that was the last one. Thank you for your participation on that, Christopher. Were you talking about you or her? Um what was the first one again Independence, freedom and mutual respect for individuality. What was B? B is honesty, loyalty and emotional depth. C is shared interests, with open communication, excitement, spontaneity and partner who encourages growth. C I would have guessed D.
Speaker 6:That's okay. You read them as if they were the same. No D is a separate. The spontaneity is its own.
Speaker 3:What's back? Friday night's back. Welcome back Friday night. So which one are you doing? B or C, or D, d, d, spontaneity, spontaneity, got it. This is number seven, your last one. After this, we'll know your personality trait. Oh great.
Speaker 1:It's good to say I couldn't come up with one.
Speaker 3:Your approach to learning new things. Is it systematic, mastering one skill at a time? Nope. Is it relational, preferring to learn through collaboration and shared experiences? Nope. Is it conceptual, enjoying abstract ideas and exploring possibilities? No, or D experimental learning best by doing and experimenting. D. I agree, all right. Are you ready, christopher's answering these questions? I I agree, all right. Are you ready, christopher's, answering these questions? I hope everyone is. I hope you're all enjoying this. Here we go, we will know, jams. Are you ready to hear about your personality?
Speaker 2:I am. She should be admitted Effective immediately.
Speaker 3:All right, here it is. Psych Central says you should hold Jamie in a room and lock it immediately. Alright, here it is. Psych Central says you should hold Jamie in a room and lock it and call the authorities and have them bring a straitjacket.
Speaker 1:Probably.
Speaker 3:No, it says you are a balanced adapter. Your personality is a unique blend of multiple types. You're a liar, I didn't know that, allowing you to adapt to various situations and challenges. You can be analytical and creative, independent and collaborative, depending on the context. Embrace your versatility and continue to develop your strengths in different areas, and stop being such a whore. That's what it says. So you're a balanced adapter. I'm a balanced adapter. I never thought your personality would ever come back as balanced. All right, brayden, are you ready? Yep, rock and roll. Question number one for young Brayden. When faced with a problem, you typically analyze the situation logically and create step-by-step solutions.
Speaker 2:I'll make it easy which one's the act immediately. Huh, isn't there one that's act immediately? Take immediate action and adapt.
Speaker 3:All right, Adapt and overcome is basically your mantra. That one. In social situations you tend to avoid small talk and perform more intentional conversations. You prefer one-on-one conversations that foster deep connections. Christopher says he's a whore.
Speaker 1:Yay.
Speaker 3:Or if that was her.
Speaker 6:I think he said he matches James's.
Speaker 3:Seek opportunities to share ideas and collaborate creatively. Or D enjoy lively discussions and thrive in group interactions. You like group interactions.
Speaker 2:I don't have any good ideas when he gets to perform.
Speaker 3:That's right. When it comes to making decisions, Brayden, you rely on logic and data to weigh the pros and cons. Everybody together on three. One, two, three. Follow your heart and prioritize the well-being of others. Explore various options with a focus on long-term impact.
Speaker 6:Everybody on three fuck, no, is there any of these? It says makes poor decisions every single fucking time, you know what we can move to North Carolina.
Speaker 3:Make quick, instinct-driven decisions and adjust later. It's.
Speaker 2:D again, it is ask for forgiveness, never permission.
Speaker 3:Braden, your ideal work environment is one that In my living room Is structured, organized and provides clear expectations. Yes, that one?
Speaker 2:I don't think so. In the Marines I thrived. I was the best at what I did.
Speaker 6:I think it's the same thing, like with jams. I think that's what he needs. Absolutely but he would prefer to sleep in his sweatpants and pretend to work until noon.
Speaker 1:Oh fuck, Hit me with the other three. I wish I could do that too.
Speaker 3:Hit me with the other three and values emotional intelligence. No, sir, Values independence and creativity, giving you space to express yourself. I wake up at noon. That's how I express myself Is dynamic, fast-paced and full of challenges. If it were me, I'm going to say C is his. He values independence and creativity. It's the independence part of that that, I think, gets him.
Speaker 2:So it's what I want, right? Yeah, this is what this test is your ideal, your ideal workplace, your ideal environment, if you had to pick of anything that you wanted to do.
Speaker 6:What?
Speaker 2:would it be? That's what I want. D.
Speaker 3:Yeah, dynamic, fast-paced and full of challenges. Mm-hmm. Okay, you're wrong, but okay. You don't even know your own when faced with change brayden you carefully and nope, because the word carefully, yeah, it's in there still that one out, fucked up. You focus on how it will impact. Nope, not that one either. Embrace it as an opportunity for innovation and growth. Nope, dive in enthusiastically and adapt on the fly.
Speaker 3:I don't even need to ask I'm pushing it. Come on Number six In relationships, god, you value Boobs, a bitch that gets you put in jail and make sure they're pierced. Independence, freedom and mutual respect for individuality no, okay. One that never looks at locations on their phone Okay, no. Honesty, loyalty and emotional depth Okay. Shared interests, intellectual stimulation that's one, that's not two words, or that is two words, it's one thing.
Speaker 6:Not intellect and stimulation. Oh thanks, james. Holy shit. Communication, excitement, spontaneity and a partner who encourages growth.
Speaker 3:See thing Not intellect and stimulus, Open communication, excitement, spontaneity and a partner who encourages growth. See you like shared interest intellectual?
Speaker 2:Okay, I didn't have any of those three things in my last relationship.
Speaker 6:You didn't have any of those pieces of that category of relationships was not existing. Well, I have it now though, and it's so cool, it changes your life.
Speaker 3:I didn't think that it could be like this. It it is. It's much better when you get a good partner. Uh, you're a brayden. Your final question your approach to learning new things is systematic, mastering one skill at a time, or relational, preferring to learn through collaboration and shared experiences that one Hold on. Conceptual, enjoying abstract ideas and exploring possibilities, or experimental, learning best by doing and experimenting. B.
Speaker 2:I think B. Yeah, I learned B, dude. I did it with you all last summer when we did Audrey's house. How would you do this? And then I would do it the way you said it Same thing that I do at work and same thing that I do with caleb and show. Tell me how to do it and I will do it. But and then I'll put my own twist on it. I like that one. What's my?
Speaker 3:tell me, christopher says I lost the question somewhere between numbers, letters and boobs. The answer is always boobs. You Wrong. You're going to find yourself a seat in the.
Speaker 2:Ember Joke has a Little Truth Studio. Christopher, if you keep messing around, I like your style, we're going to get you in here. I like the way you do business. It's butt, it's not boobs, butt's better.
Speaker 6:He thought it was boobs for a long time. Oh no.
Speaker 3:Boobs and midsection.
Speaker 2:That's where it's about C cup, Big old, but I'm good with it. Brayden, you want to know what you are. I had triple D, no, but in the last one not an ounce of. But.
Speaker 3:Brayden, you are an action oriented adventurer. God damn it I am. That's what you are. You are confident, spontaneous and thrive on taking action. Yeah, you adapt easily to new situations and enjoy tackling challenges head on. You want me to new situations and enjoy tackling challenges head on. You'll may leave my house at 4 am. I'm on the way In relationships. You value excitement and a partner who encourages your personal growth, and one that will punch you in the face and lie to you constantly.
Speaker 6:Brittany says, the answer is always D the answer is always better.
Speaker 3:Yes, ma'am, I had a nickel for every time. I've heard that, to achieve long-term success, consider slowing down occasionally. Okay To plan and reflect on your goals, but I drive real fast.
Speaker 6:That's a problem, that's that's.
Speaker 3:The answer is always D.
Speaker 6:How funny is that Not what we're talking about, I know.
Speaker 3:So, Brayden, now we know about you. What were you, Jams? Balanced balanced adapter and brayden was and brayden is an action oriented adventurer.
Speaker 6:Now this next one, this is just gonna. It's got the end.
Speaker 3:It's a nice word constantly I cry when I'm happy, I cry when I'm sad. I do be venturing, I do be adventuring. She did lie to him constantly. Christopher, you are exactly right. All right, here we go.
Speaker 2:Last one Are you ready? Yep, who's here? Is it Ams, is it Amanda or is it Mandy?
Speaker 3:I think this one's going to be Mandy. We'll see. Mandy, when faced with a problem, you typically analyze the situation logically and create step-by-step solution. You rely on your intuition and consider the emotional impact of potential outcomes. Bingo you focus on the big picture and brainstorm creative solutions. You take immediate action and adapt as needed, or you cry in bed and wait until your husband makes the decision for you. I think it's B or D. B, b or D.
Speaker 2:B B or D B B, it is. I'm hungry, I'm going to can 48,000 cans of green beans.
Speaker 3:We'll never be hungry again and never open them. We'll never be hungry again. If there's ever a holocaust, we're good.
Speaker 6:That was the point.
Speaker 3:In social situations, Amanda, you tend to avoid small talk and prefer more intentional conversations.
Speaker 2:All right, don't even do the other ones. It's that one. Yeah, it's that one. She don't want to talk to nobody, unless it's important.
Speaker 3:I'm not asking any more of those. Christopher says last one here. Rely on Okay, sorry, I better ask you the question first. Number three when it comes to making decisions, amanda, you rely on logic and data to weigh the pros and cons. Possibly you follow your heart and prioritize the wellbeing of others. You explore various options with a focus on long-term impact. Maybe you make quick, instinctive-driven decisions and adjust later. Definitely not that one. I would say B, I'm going to say C, I say B. Read them again. Follow your heart and prioritize the well-being of others.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3:That's it, You're this big angry woman.
Speaker 4:But you care about everyone around you Everybody else first.
Speaker 3:Explore various options with a focus on long-term impact, or you follow your heart and prioritize other people's needs.
Speaker 6:Follow our needs.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's the B, one B for the B.
Speaker 3:Oh no, I meant my husband, christopher. You threw me off with that one.
Speaker 2:Not a lot of ladies named Christopher. Oh, he could be gay.
Speaker 3:Today's day and age could be anything which is okay.
Speaker 1:Everybody has their thing yes, husbands lie to you constantly.
Speaker 3:Husbands do lie, that's what they do. Your ideal work environment is one that is structured, organized and provides clear expectations. Who?
Speaker 2:provides the expectations and who set the structure? If it's not Amanda, move on.
Speaker 3:Encourages collaboration and values. Emotional intelligence encourages collaboration and values emotional intelligence, values, independence and creativity, giving you space to express yourself. That's good, is dynamic, fast pace and full of challenges oh, I think.
Speaker 6:I think d is is e, like none of these work, because they weren't written by you themselves Did I create these policies.
Speaker 3:I think you're exactly right on that one. I think that too. So which one do you think you think is dynamic, fast paced and full of challenges?
Speaker 6:Yeah, I need to, otherwise I get bored and then I start reconstructing how things need to be done.
Speaker 3:You do that before you even fucking get there. I had to tell her on this job she got now I was like, hey, let's try something different on this job. You have a new job. Why don't you show up to this job and just do it the way they've been doing?
Speaker 6:it for years. They've been open for 30 years. Don't come in and change it.
Speaker 2:I'll tell you what, I'll give it a shot. Texted you by lunch. This place needs redone. I'm redoing all of this it's redone.
Speaker 1:Are they?
Speaker 3:idiots when faced with change. When faced with change, you carefully analyze and plan for potential challenges. You focus on how it will impact relationships and emotions. You embrace it as an opportunity for innovation and growth. Oh, I get to start on new projects, dive in enthusiastically and adapt on the fly what was the first one? Again Carefully analyze and plan for potential challenges.
Speaker 6:Yes, I find all the reasons every other solution won't work.
Speaker 3:Why you are the challenge. She is hitting it head on.
Speaker 2:Look, at least we're being honest. That's right. I can't wait to see what hers is uh.
Speaker 3:In relationships, amanda, you value independence, freedom and mutual respect for individuality. No more tiktok, sorry. Honesty, loyalty and emotional depth, probably shared interests, intellectual stimulation, stimulation and open communication, or excitement, spontaneity, and a partner who encourages growth with his penis, bcnd that's for three different personalities um. I agree with you, christopher, dive in uh.
Speaker 6:I think independence, freedom and mutual respect honesty loyalty and emotional depth.
Speaker 3:I would probably agree with that last one. We're almost to the big reveal for you. I need a sprinkle of the other, though. Uh, your approach to learning new things is systematic, mastering one skill at a time, probably.
Speaker 4:That could be it.
Speaker 3:Relational, preferring to learn through collaboration and shared experiences.
Speaker 6:No, fuck everybody else's experiences. You want to tell me how to learn it? Fuck you.
Speaker 2:I have a story for this right after her personality comes out. I will remember.
Speaker 3:Conceptual, enjoying abstract ideas and exploring possibilities. No, and experimental learning best by doing and experimenting.
Speaker 6:That could be.
Speaker 3:I have to master a skip, so systematic mastering one at a time, or experimental learning and doing it and experimenting. Gotta be, d Gotta be.
Speaker 6:I'm going to say A.
Speaker 3:She's saying A because you push D a little too hard.
Speaker 6:God I'm sorry, no, because I want to learn a new thing. Then I say, fuck that thing, I'm going to go on to the next one once I've learned each step.
Speaker 2:While you're getting the results. You don't think you're a good partner, christopher. He's probably not Good for While you're getting those results, amanda, when this whole Call of Duty Thing came up with us playing, I text Amanda, because you weren't messaging Me back or something. And I say, hey, if I want to play, I just need your Gamer tag. I need to get To where we're friends. And she said, um, no, you need an Xbox right because you can't. And she came on.
Speaker 3:It was this whole. Trust me, you're telling me what I love about her and will make me throw her off the peak of the house one day, is I will ask her a question. She'll drive from our driveway all the way around the world to pull in the other side of the driveway, instead of just telling me. I just need to put it in reverse here.
Speaker 2:The crazy thing is I've played call of duty no less than 17 years, yeah, and I know exactly how to everything works and she has never she was telling me she was like no, no, you need to do it this way. And I was like, actually, why don't you just let me handle it?
Speaker 6:And it was like, what I said was aren't you getting an Xbox anyway? Why don't we just do that?
Speaker 2:Well, and then I explained to you you can play it cross platform. And she was like but you need an Xbox. And I was like, it's all good. You may not have said that, but it was it was funny how you were trying to explain it to me Like I'm well-versed, all is good. I just want to play with you guys, that's all.
Speaker 3:Now, these quizzes always have some sort of glitch, right? Oh shit, Did it not work? And I think we found this glitch. No, it worked. Oh, what is it?
Speaker 1:Well, it's the results. It's a balanced adapter. Oh, she's a balanced adapter too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and it's the same. Your types, which we knew, allowing you to adapt in various situations and challenges. You can be analytical and creative, independent and collaborative.
Speaker 6:Nope, depending on context, that's wrong. I am not collaborative.
Speaker 3:In the right situation. You are. Embrace your versatility and continue to develop your strengths in different areas and keep working on the D. That's what it says, jesus. I can't help you with that. On the D that's what it says, jesus. I can't help you with that. I'm just telling you what it says.
Speaker 2:Did you take that test yourself? I did not. No, Would you like for me to? That would have been. I mean, I figured that would have been fun.
Speaker 3:I mean.
Speaker 6:I can. I bet he gets the same as me and James. What's the odds that both of your wives had the same personality?
Speaker 1:You had called Tracy, at least one of ours has to match Tracy and Angie.
Speaker 2:I would have loved Angie. Where do you lay your head at night? On a palla, I can promise everybody their two results are going to be poor All right, here we go.
Speaker 3:I'll bang through this one real quick. When faced with a problem, I typically rely on my intuition. Take immediate action. That's me. I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2:You're never going to find me a paralysis by analysis.
Speaker 3:In social situations, I don't avoid small talk, I don't prefer one-on-one. I enjoy lively discussions and thrive on group interactions. When it comes to making decisions, I make quick, instinctive decisions. Your ideal work environment, christopher, you are great, a fantastic lover, and anybody would be blessed Same. I'm digging this dude. He's got to come on. Your ideal work environment is one that is structured, organized and provides clear expectations. I don't like collaboration. Values, independence and creativity. Yes, that's what I want.
Speaker 6:That's real fun, too. People that don't like to collaborate live together.
Speaker 3:When faced with change. You carefully analyze and plan? Nope, I don't carefully plan for anything. You have the Denny effect. That's right. In relationships you value independence, freedom and mutual respect, honesty, loyalty and emotional depth. That's it. And your approach to learning new things systematic mastering, one at a time Nope, experimental Learning best by doing and experimenting. And that says I am an action oriented adventure. Or wasn't that what you were? Yep, so there it is.
Speaker 3:Two pods, at least you. Christopher is three kids in and not married you still got a ways to go, christopher yeah, I've got six, but I'm married. Hell, I've been married four times. Four times, four times, yeah. So now we know, now we know your personalities.
Speaker 2:Any surprises, amanda's I am baffled, but I don't know that it comes out the same.
Speaker 3:There's so much about these, because when you meet these two they are complete opposite of the spectrum.
Speaker 6:But when you get to know but some of your traits are very close. You just pick the more extrovert way. I'm more introvert, but it's the same.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you guys have the same DNA.
Speaker 1:Well, you've at least shared some. What did you write?
Speaker 3:no one point or another you have. Well, you've at least shared some Dammit man, dammit no. One point or another you have. No, just let's get out of here.
Speaker 1:Goddamn, it's the most wonderful time Of this goddamn podcast Yee-haw Did you really think this was going to be a feel-good segment, are you?
Speaker 6:insane like me. Welcome to Relationship Advice with Ams and Jams.
Speaker 1:I see red, red, oh red.
Speaker 6:Come to your head. Well, you asked for our advice. We just hope you're ready for brutal honesty.
Speaker 3:And brutal it shall be. We just found out Christopher's been with the same girl since they were 14 and they're 37. Now. Get married, weirdo, hey. To whatever works, whatever works. Why does this have to be?
Speaker 6:You pulled the trigger on getting married real early. How'd that work out?
Speaker 3:You got married twice, dear.
Speaker 1:Anson Jams.
Speaker 3:I have recently reached a breaking point with my husband over his late grandmother's stuffed toy. Excuse me, sorry, what he refuses to accept why I would find it offensive, and is insistent that it isn't offensive because his grandma cherished it and she wasn't racist. Oh shit.
Speaker 2:No, oh yeah.
Speaker 3:I don't know what this is. I don't believe that his grandma was. I don't believe that his grandma was racist. However, the soft toy is a gollywog.
Speaker 1:I'm going to look it up. Somebody look that up.
Speaker 3:I don't know what a gollywog G-O-L-L-I-W-O-G. Okay, I have explained why it is offensive to me as a person of mixed heritage, but he will not accept that that is racist as shit.
Speaker 2:You burned that. Let's see a picture of it, that's it. I don't know.
Speaker 6:Can you get it pulled, oh boy.
Speaker 2:You got to get rid of that dude, oh boy.
Speaker 3:That's what it is. Oh goodness gracious, I don't know about that gollywog.
Speaker 6:Racist or not, that's creepy as hell.
Speaker 3:That's Ch chucky, but black, yeah, that's that is a little strange.
Speaker 3:I don't disagree, uh. However, this I have explained why it is offensive to me as a person of mixed heritage, but he will not accept that he is white. He insists he will display it proudly in his house because it belonged to his grandma. I have no problem with him having the soft toy, but I don't want it out for visitors to see. This is not the first time. We have had conversations like this where he refuses to see my point. Sometimes he will later, but not, but only after an argument. It feels like this is a last straw, quotation marks, uh type of disagreement and frankly it worries me. Ams and jams what do you think of this whole thing?
Speaker 6:so I agree. Christopher says it's a doll. I agree it's just a doll. I don't think to make it about race is the point. Um, how about? It just makes you uncomfortable and it's creepy and you don't want it out in your house. Yeah, yeah, that that should be enough.
Speaker 1:Why can't he keep it in his?
Speaker 3:man cave. Well, it's still going to be out. I mean, you want it in his garage.
Speaker 6:Keep it in a box of grandma's things? Are you going to bring it out at Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3:I would? Oh shit, I would. If you remember correctly, I brought out grandma's ashes and started saying the most inappropriate, horrible things you could ever, you could ever hear. Remember that.
Speaker 2:She would have said I think that with that doll hide it.
Speaker 4:That goes in a if you want to, if you want to keep it for grandma's stuff.
Speaker 6:That's cool. You get a box of grandma's things and you put it in the box.
Speaker 2:Also she is of mixed heritage. I think this is just some white girl that says my, my 19th grandfather was black, so I'm offended.
Speaker 3:There is a lot of that, I think that's sprinkled in.
Speaker 6:I think using that to be offended is silly. How about it makes me uncomfortable? I don't want it in my house. That needs to be enough.
Speaker 3:I think today's day and age we have everybody wants to be some sort of victim, right, our day and age we have everybody wants to be some sort of victim.
Speaker 6:yeah, right, yeah, and I are caller in, listener in, typer in, typer.
Speaker 3:Well, it's like a caller but it's not calling correspondence, whatever it is uh, I just I think that you know grandma came from a different time. That wasn't considered. Well. Your grandmother grandma came from a different time. That wasn't considered Well. Your grandmother Grandma came from a different time has said some things that.
Speaker 6:I had to say, hey, you can't say that, no more, you can't say that. And she didn't say it to be malicious.
Speaker 1:You can't say that in front of people. It's a damn good thing. My grandma is not alive anymore.
Speaker 3:Yeah because she said some shit, especially after 16 beers. But here's the thing about all of that. Right, I'm half hungarian. Goulash isn't racist. Christopher says um, I. I think we can't like forget that time. I think we have to not embrace it or celebrate it, but we have to understand it. We have to say, look, that was the time. We shouldn't be canceling people for something they said or did 30 years ago.
Speaker 6:Yeah you know, let's be. This is what was the time on this.
Speaker 2:At the same time, don't leave your husband over a dollar if he's got this thing in a showcase as a centerpiece on the kitchen table.
Speaker 3:I understand your frustration if it's in a curio cabinet up against the wall, why don't you just not look at it?
Speaker 2:and, matter of fact, start ridicule, start ridiculing go buy.
Speaker 6:Go buy something silly and put in front of it you know what?
Speaker 3:what it's half their house, right, I mean, they live together. It's their house.
Speaker 1:It's maybe rock paper scissors.
Speaker 3:I can promise you that.
Speaker 1:Do you have more? Stand to your ground.
Speaker 3:Do you have more?
Speaker 2:Well, she can't stand to ground. It's already up.
Speaker 3:They fought about it and he clearly makes the money in the relationship, so he's the boss it sounds like it's his goddamn house he can decorate it how he pleases. That's how it goes. Whoever makes the most money is the boss. Oh yeah, oh good yeah I win dear ams and jams.
Speaker 3:Denny's recently divorced and probably missing some limbs. Uh, dear ams and jams, I am currently on a weekend away with my girlfriend. I was really excited and planned this trip as a surprise, and she absolutely loved our first night out. I took her to dinner, then we watched a live musical. Why would you do that to yourself Before heading back to the hotel? Oh, I see now why you did it this morning.
Speaker 6:I will. What was that song? Blowjob Betty.
Speaker 3:Sing that real quick. No.
Speaker 1:Brittany says nope, i'm'm the boss, as you should be, girl that's right, except in our house.
Speaker 3:I'm the boss.
Speaker 6:Oh yeah, I gotta tell you I think the boss is blonde and about two and a half feet tall. That's no shit.
Speaker 3:Uh, this morning I woke up at around 6 am needing to use the toilet.
Speaker 2:Who calls it the toilet, people from like the UK and stuff. I don't like the toilet.
Speaker 3:I woke up at around 6, am needing to use the toilet Really and there are stars and lines around really badly. I know what you mean I'm talking. My stomach was making those super bad noises that usually indicate I'm going to stink the bathroom out for a few hours. My girlfriend always starts her days with a shower. So, not wanting what's wrong? Nothing Don't answer that question. Okay, I will not. My girlfriend starts. My girlfriend always starts her days with a shower. So, not wanting to make the bathroom smell really bad, I snuck out to use the lobby toilet. I was probably gone a good half hour. It's a good thing it wasn't me.
Speaker 4:She just seen me in about two hours jesus I was probably gone a good half hour, but when I came back I drove home my girlfriend was in tears, crying about me leaving, saying what if someone broke in?
Speaker 3:oh my, my God, I didn't tell her I was going. What?
Speaker 5:if something happened while I was gone to me, to her, etc.
Speaker 3:I was really confused by the reaction and explained that I would have made the place smell really bad and didn't want to run her morning Did you literal shit?
Speaker 6:Did you want me to wake you up and say, hey, I've got to leave, to go shit?
Speaker 3:She didn't really care and insisted I should have woken her up, left a note, just gone in our bathroom etc. Ams and jams and a text message. I didn't want to embarrass myself or start her morning off shittily you know that's very nice of him am I missing something I think that was very, very nice of the right way to handle things.
Speaker 2:Sorry, honey, I should have sent a text next time.
Speaker 6:Tell her to stop being such a fucking victim. Oh, what if somebody broke in and hurt me? Oh, what could I possibly do without?
Speaker 3:a man. I don't remember seeing bitchiness on your personality traits.
Speaker 6:Bitch. If somebody broke in, what the fuck was he going to do about it? Anyway, he was on the shitter. Was he going to do about it? Anyway, he was on the shitter.
Speaker 3:He could have come out and flung turds on him. Get out of here you don't like that idea.
Speaker 6:Helicopter, not the sound. What you going to do now.
Speaker 3:I would have kept the bullets away. Hold on what? Yeah, do that again. I don't know what's supposed to be moving there. Which part of your body is moving Her imaginary?
Speaker 2:wiener supposed to be moving there. I don't know which part of your body is moving. The D, the D oh it's him, the imaginary wiener.
Speaker 3:Mm-hmm, whirr, whirr. Why are your arms and shoulders moving for your wiener? Because Well that's how you'd have to do it. Yeah, you'd be like you don't talk about it because you can't make anything move uh, yeah, what's our advice for this young man?
Speaker 6:I don't think he did anything wrong.
Speaker 2:She's kind of being a whiny bitch. Yeah, she, she got a vacation. You should have sent it. This could have been easily. Sorry, honey, I should have sent a text, you're right. Can we move on please?
Speaker 3:chris says get there first, stand there naked. Or uh, stand there naked for the break in and say I've been waiting all my life for this moment.
Speaker 6:And then helicopter.
Speaker 3:There was a moment that I was hoping someone would break in the house so I could put a bullet. Those days are gone.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 6:You were hoping you weren't pooping.
Speaker 3:I was hoping to put the bullet in myself because I was married to you. Shut up. Dear Ams and Jams, thank you for your recent podcasts on polyamory. You're welcome. Now I have to ask you guys this so my husband and I have been together for 12 years and married for seven. We also have a kid who is two. My husband has been open about the fact that some of his previous relationships were poly and we have always been open to general, ethical, non-monogamy. For example, we used to go to sex parties together.
Speaker 2:Just say that. Don't say all the other bullshit before.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it did get dark, sorry about that.
Speaker 2:Don't say the nonsense before, Just say we used to go to sex parties. Yeah, God Lee't have to go through the rest of it. Yeah, it did get dark Brittany.
Speaker 4:Sorry about that. Don't say the nonsense before, Just say we used to go to sex parties. Yeah, God late. You have to make it sound clinical it has to sound.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it has to have a term Nobody wants to sound like freaks.
Speaker 3:Fast forward to about six months ago, when a friend of his came to the end of her marriage and quite urgently needed somewhere to stay. So we took her in. Obviously, that was all well and good at first and they were very close, but so were the three of us. There were nights when all, when we all slept in the same bed because she just couldn't face sleeping on her own. There were also nights when my husband slept in the bed with her, now at my suggestion, because again, she couldn't handle sleeping alone. But I struggled to share a bed with three of us because of space.
Speaker 6:Fuck yeah, go get out, don't touch me, I'm hot.
Speaker 3:Take my husband with you. However, the topic of Polly did come up a bit further down the line as a genuine option, and so they started spending every friday night together and honestly, I was and am genuinely happy with this. This started as a nominally friends with benefits thing but naturally progressed into a relationship.
Speaker 3:I don't see anything going wrong here I honestly, don't think I have any issue with him sleeping with her, but the problem I am facing is that they want to live as a threesome forever, get a bigger house and do this permanently, and I can't tell you why, but I'm really uncomfortable about this permanent thing. On the other hand, my husband's mental health has always been really bad, but since my meta has lived here, what's that mean Meta? Since my meta has lived here, what's that mean, meta? Since my meta has lived here.
Speaker 3:That maybe is a typo for her name, but since my meta has lived here and there have been more of us around, it has been a lot better.
Speaker 2:Oh, is that like alpha? No, no, no. Is that like is meta the?
Speaker 3:third in the relationship M-E-T-A that could be it.
Speaker 2:I think that's it.
Speaker 3:A lot better. So I really don't want to take this away from him, Really really don't want to. Yeah, that's what it is. So I have to find some way towards happiness for myself in this.
Speaker 3:Even though I work from home and they both work out of the house, I never feel like I'm on my own anyhow or anymore, somehow, because wherever I look, there are reminders that it's the three of us. Wherever I look, there are reminders that it's the three of us. So I just feel permanently not at ease in my own home. Also, she really wants us to move houses so that we can have somewhere bigger, but also so that it doesn't feel like our house and she's there as an equal, and I really don't want to transition to having potentially less time with my husband than I do now. At the moment, he's in my bed four nights a week, in her bed for two nights and then we share a bed for one night. That's insane, it has to be said.
Speaker 3:I really like my meta again, again with the meta a lot of the time, and one of my hopes is that if she and I work on our relationship and get closer, this will get easier for me, but at the moment I'm losing the home I thought I would grow old in and I'm worried. I'm losing half of my husband. I don't know what I'm, I don't know what I am looking for, but I am so worried right now. Ams and jams. I need your help.
Speaker 1:Meta refers to your other partner or your partner's other romantic partner, essentially the person your partner is dating that you are not romantically involved with.
Speaker 3:There you go. Oh, there's the answer. So what do we do with this? What's our advice for this one?
Speaker 6:I think you're worried about the permanency of this. Is permanency a word? It is now motherfucker.
Speaker 1:She's the boss bitch.
Speaker 6:I think you're worried about that because she just came out of a relationship with her husband. This is all real new and super in the like honeymoon stage, so buying a house and changing your life with your son and everything like that seems a bit drastic.
Speaker 6:that's probably where your hesitation is coming from. I think you three need to sit down and discuss what your relationship is going to look like If you and her are going to be a thing and then her and him they're going to be a thing too, or if it's two separate things, kind of like what. I mean you might like something more like what our last guest had on you know, where they did a monopoly thing, where he was just with her and she would go kind of outside of the home to have another relationship. But I think having that outside of the home was a big piece of that. So I think, but would you be comfortable with that? Well, I wouldn't. I mean they're kind of went down that road.
Speaker 1:So I think they are expected to end.
Speaker 2:Now she just likes that I can't say it.
Speaker 6:Never mind, I'm going to be mean I think they need to kind of line out what they expect a family unit to look like as this, because this is something that's super new and it's always going to be exciting in the beginning.
Speaker 2:But you have to look at longevity of it and how it impacts your child and your home. If you're already on a sleeping schedule, four nights a week it's just you and him. Two nights a week he's not even there, and then one night a week it's all three of you. That is ridiculous. Just if you're gonna do it, do it if you're, if you feel this way now how are you gonna feel next year?
Speaker 5:this is ridiculous this, this whole. Four nights in my bed, two nights. When is it when?
Speaker 3:is it gonna switch to three and three? You know what I mean, which is also awkward, very strange right.
Speaker 6:And if you are worried about losing time, if you are losing time to you're worried about losing time to your husband, then you're not exactly comfortable with the idea of poly, because that's the idea, yeah, and stop using all these goddamn terms Just said yeah, we had a threesome a couple of times and I liked it, and then you know what I want.
Speaker 3:them all the time.
Speaker 4:Turns.
Speaker 2:Turns out, the bitch moved in, so now I feel a little funny.
Speaker 5:Like say that next time?
Speaker 3:Here's what you get on this one. We didn't help anybody this week, no, but go read. But here's the beauty. Not Tonight Honey Yep, go read her books.
