Summary

This week, Ali & Roark are seeing red! Flags, that is. They start by defining a red flag: how is it different from a dealbreaker, and is a yellow flag even a thing? Then they go through how to spot common red flags in dating app profiles, in early messaging or texting, and once you've started dating. In the process, Roark reads Ali two listener emails. One wants to know how to recognize a red flag for what it is rather than thinking the issue will work itself out, whereas the other describes herself as hyper vigilant about red flags and wonders if she's reading too much into a new partner's behavior. Ali & Roark quickly realize that this is a massive topic worthy of multiple episodes, but want to hear from you about what topics to dive deeper into...

If you want to suggest other red flags for them to discuss, send in your own phone throwing moment, submit a question, or have general feedback, you can do it all at www.findingmrheight.com/podcast

Also, this episode mentions DJ Khaled's Proust Questionnaire (yes, that is a sign of how chaotic this episode gets). Linked here: https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2016/11/dj-khaled-proust-questionnaire

0:00.0	And it simply reads, I am from Belize, and I thoroughly enjoy your show.
0:05.0	Oh, my God.
0:07.1	Yeah.
0:20.2	Hello, and welcome to another episode of Finding Mr. Hyde the podcast. I'm Allie, back with my co-host
0:24.6	Rourke. How is it going? I am in a busy season right now with work, a highly stressful season.
0:32.3	And so right now my life is alternating between my work computer and my podcast computer doing one task or
0:40.2	another. And so I'm I'm a little bit overextended right now. But life is good. Busy is good.
0:46.9	I don't mind it. Well, both I and the listeners appreciate your dedication to the podcast laptop.
0:52.7	No problem. It's honestly, like, doing podcast stuff
0:56.3	is honestly my reward. I love it. Great. Well, then, you know, I'll just pile more work on for you.
1:02.4	Oh, yeah. Just, you know, send it my way. Just like pipeline it straight to me. Perfect.
1:08.2	How are you? What's the latest? I'm good. My mom was here this weekend. She just left a couple hours ago.
1:14.7	That's so awesome. I'm so jealous. It was so nice. She joined me for those of you who follow me on Instagram and were watching my story. She joined my Ask Me Anything over the weekend. And it was a lot of fun.
1:27.0	It seemed like it was a hit. I thought she had great things to say. I loved it. It was a hit and she continued to be blown away by there's this. So I posted one of the videos. I cross posted it to my TikTok, the one we've mentioned this advice before on the pod, the one where she says, if it's right, there's nothing you can do wrong. And if it's wrong, there's nothing you can do right.
1:45.4	Which I should say is only a starting point.
1:48.0	There are obviously exceptions based on many comments that I got.
1:51.7	But I cross-posed that on TikTok and it's at like 200,000 views or something like that.
1:58.3	And she kept asking throughout the weekend, like, oh, so what's it at now? And I'd be like, oh, it's at this. And then this morning, I'm like, Mom, what do you think it's at? And it was fun. She wants those stat updates now. She's like, she's got that taste. She's addicted to the views. Yeah. No, it was great, though. And we just had a great time. And she helped me kind of assess the
2:20.7	situation in my apartment. She helped me pick out plants that I'll probably kill soon.
2:26.7	Very relatable. I'm terrible with plants. And I know they're so trendy right now, so I should
2:30.6	figure it out, but I can't. I just feel like with my outdoor space that I am
2:35.8	just obligated to have some sort of at least herb garden. Hmm, very, very legitimate, good idea.
