| 0:13.1 | Hey, this is Adam Griffin, and I'm here with my co-host, Cassie Bryant. |
| 0:17.9 | Cassie, what do you think, as a husband, as a man? I'm wondering, what are some of the |
| 0:22.9 | most common pet peeves you hear about from women? I'm not saying you have this about Eric. I don't |
| 0:28.0 | want to get personal. Eric's not like most men, so. Hey-o. Hey-o. Exceptional. What's that common petve, you think? Like, why is she asking me to pick my towel up again? Magging. Yeah? Yeah. Wait, you need the, wait, this is pet peeves that the men have. No, no, no, no. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought we're asking what. I was trying to get inside the female brain and say, what are the things that women? We have. Yes. Oh, sorry. I thought you were with it. I thought you were asking what? I was trying to get inside the female brain and say, what are the, what are the things that women? We have. Yes. Oh, sorry. I thought you were saying like, yeah, women don't like to feel like they're a nag. Oh, I don't mind feeling like a nag. That'd be pretty introspective pet peeve. Oh, I just hate it when I'm like. No, I thought you were saying what are men's pet peeves or their wives? I was like, I don't know. Yeah. Most women's pet peeves around their husbands might be leaving their towels on the floor. Like maybe. A lot of hygiene and like, yeah. Hygiene and household stuff. Yeah. You know, like doesn't rinse the cup out, you know. Didn't load the dishwasher ride. Yes. Stuff like that. |
| 1:45.3 | Even what we talked about, like, doesn't remember what I just said around the calendar. I know that that can be a theme. Oh, yeah. As the kids are getting older and there's a lot more moving parts. It's like Tetris, but time. Yeah, not remembering things. In general. In general. Not listening. Not remembering, not listening, can't find things. |
| 1:45.9 | Yeah. |
| 1:46.7 | Yeah. |
| 2:34.4 | Gosh, you're describing me. No. You're a great listener. Listen, Hanson, man. I'm sorry. What? You listen. Okay. And you remember a lot of things. Oh, I thought you were saying like listen. Like listen up right now. See how I don't even understand what's happening? No, no, no. You're a good, you are. So maybe a luponness. We can add a luponet. You're a good listener. And when you can't find things, it helps me feel needed and helps me feel like I offer something to you. You do have like Sherlockian ability to, like, I can be looking in the fridge and say, where is this? And you can describe it to me even though I'm looking at it. I know where everything is in my house, I feel like. Is that right? If the girls are like, where are these pair of socks? See, if women could understand this as superpower men don't have, I think there'd be a lot more compassion. Yeah, it feels like a burden sometimes though. Yeah, it is. But I also am like, well, that's one thing I know how to do. Yeah. Yeah, I can do that. Also, I didn't introduce you, but this is my wife, Chelsea Griffin, talking. She's the best. She's the best. You don't have any pet peeves, right? None. Do you know what? I've heard that some women have an issue with some things that men do. But, you know, no, there's nothing. I didn't know you were asking about my pet peeves to be. No, he wasn't. He said, I don't want to get personal. Well, no, I was just saying, Eric is very hygienic. If anyone's the problem, it's me. Eric's Tal's always hung up. Dishes are always done right. Cassie Schmets Schmets. What's Schmette Schmeat? Tell her about a Schmette Shmieve real quick. This is a concept to me and some college friends made up, but it's basically the opposite of a pet peeve. It's something inane and morally neutral, but delights you. Oh. So, you know, if I, I love when you have like a skillet that's heated up, you know, and then you lop that little doll of butter in there and you just watch that sizzle. It's nice, you know. Yeah. Every friend who likes the way a Jolly Ranch Row kind of gets stuck to your teeth. I'm not on that, but, you know, there's some people like to smell of gasoline. I like to smell of gasoline. I like the fresh cut grass. I love after I like the, the favorite example I have is when you describe like lane changing where your wheels don't hit any of the bumps or reflectors. Yes. It's so nice. It's very pleasing. Especially if you go around. I also like it if that happens as you're going around a curve and you didn't |
| 3:57.5 | actually have to like move the wheel. You actually held it straight, but you like seamlessly change lanes |
| 4:02.9 | and you didn't hit any bumps. Going under an overpass in the rain. Very nice. That's that little temporary |
| 4:08.8 | like someone hit mute on the storm. Okay. So bring it back to this. In marriage, so this season we're talking about marriage on the family discipleship |
| 4:16.9 | podcast. |
| 4:17.5 | Today we're going to talk about contempt and we're going to talk about compassion. |
| 4:21.5 | When you think about marriage, any schmet schmibs, anything that you're like, you know |
| 4:24.6 | what's great about marriage? |
| 4:25.8 | Like anything that's really just delights you? |
| 4:28.6 | Eric scratches my back every night. |
| 4:30.1 | What? |
| 4:30.7 | That is so sweet. I love a good back scratch. And he does too, probably more than I do, but he scratches my back. Do you ever like advise him on the length of his nails? Or you're like, hey, I need you like. He just trimmed them the other day. He trimmed, he's so hygienic. He trims them all the time. But I could tell. And I was like, oh, baby, you trimmed your nails. |
| 4:49.9 | We need to get him a manicure. Yeah. Sharpen those things up. That's awesome. |
| 4:54.4 | Chelsea's a schmenschmeaves in our, in our household, I guess. |
