I think I wanted to chat with you at kind of what I talked about kind of getting this stuck in this middleer zone of life of kind of avoiding

knowing how to avoid bad relationships but stuck and finding good relationships or meeting good people in life.

That's kind of what I'd like to focus on.

All right, do you want to give me some backstory?

Oh, backstory.

I've gotten... some backstory. Oh, backstory. I'm getting close to 40 years old now.

I've kind of had just failed relationships in the past with women.

Kind of through your show helped identify

kind of the what what the bad qualities I was getting into the relationships I was getting into and just kind of just kind of just stuck in this middle zone where I think I've eliminated bad parts of my life or bad relationships and now I'm kind of just

kind of stuck in this or kind of how I wrote about this desert of just kind of on the cusp of something but you just don't see it yet.

Welcome to the Desert of the Real.

Yes. Yes.

Yes.

Okay. Where do you want to start childhood? Do you want to start recent relationships? What's best for you?

We can start childhood, yeah. How do you want to go with that? All right right so do you want a marriage like your parents?

No I do not. Well there's your there's your first thing right there's your first

challenge right okay so what was going on with your parents

marriage that it was not great I think that well they're still married I think they

get along but being raised it was both working parents and I didn't really have much a relationship with either one of them growing up

Really and I kind of felt even to this day. It's kind of felt,

even to this day, it's kind of what they're into

and they don't really care much or show much
