0:00.0	Hey, oh, oh, come on and take a seat on the virtual couch.
0:22.8	Hey, everybody.
0:25.6	Welcome to episode 300 of the virtual couch.
0:26.7	I am your host, Tony Overbay.
0:29.0	And I thought I would start off today with a quick story.
0:31.6	It was just something that I thought about as I was going to record today.
0:36.5	I had a client a couple of weeks ago asked me what I had planned for my 300 episode.
0:38.3	And admittedly, I had not really thought much about it as if it were a big monumental occasion. And on episode 200, a couple of years ago,
0:43.8	I was about to say 200 years ago, but I think it was two years ago, Joshua Shea, who had co-authored

1:24.1	where, and I'll just go with the numbers that I see in my office, let's just say often a guy won't remember the date of when he and his wife first looked across a crowded
1:33.2	high school lunchroom only to have her look away, as she didn't want to seem too obvious,
1:37.8	while she, and I'm being honest, this is an absolutely true example, will then call this growing
1:43.5	resentment over the next 15 years as he refuses
1:46.2	to remember that date, leaving it up to her to finally bring it up when they go to bed that evening.
