| 0:00.0 | This is the Bert Show. |
| 0:02.4 | These are the relationships you really got to watch out for. |
| 0:04.7 | The ones that seem right on paper, like you're just matching up, |
| 0:09.2 | and you stay in this relationship, and you stay in this relationship, |
| 0:13.1 | because it feels like it should work. |
| 0:15.4 | But it doesn't. |
| 0:16.4 | Yeah, I'm going to preface this with, it's been a while since I've been in the dating game, |
| 0:20.3 | like 17 years. |
| 0:21.5 | So I think my perspective on this situation that my friend is having might be a little warped. |
| 0:26.4 | So I'd especially love like Abby, your perspective and Mo as well since I know you've been in a relationship for a few years, but you've been in the dating pool at least like fairly recently, right? |
| 0:37.4 | My friend is dating a guy. And I'm sure Abby, if you've ever listened to her, like you know it's really hard to even just meet somebody that you mesh with at all on a dating app. I thought you were going to say, we know we're not talking about Abby being the friend dating.

| 1:17.3 | She is dating to find a husband. |
| 1:19.8 | Not because she's obsessed with getting married, but that's just what she wants out of her |
| 1:23.3 | life. |
| 1:23.5 | She's not just casually dating looking for a fling. |
| 1:26.2 | She wants a relationship. |
| 1:27.3 | You'll stay in that relationship for a decade if you listen to Abby every day. Because what else is there out there? But that's my point is like, am I so far removed? I don't want to give her advice. That's like, hey, bounce, your person's out there.
