You're on The Birch Show.

Jeff, I think you and I are going to be pretty bummed by the end of this segment, dude. Oh. We had a virtual listener call a couple of minutes ago, and the question really was, should I stroke this dude's ego that I'm going out with right now, even though I can kick his butt in trivia. Things are going so well in the relationship, should I just throw him a bone from time to time? And the calls were coming in, people were like, yeah, of course.

You know, you get what you want out of it.

I mean, can it really hurt? going so well in the relationship, should I just throw them a bone from time to time? And the calls were coming in, people were like, yeah, of course, you know, you're getting what you want out of it.

I mean, can it really hurt? So I asked, what are you guys doing to stroke your man's ego? And the phone lines are just lit up, man. We could probably do this for the next 19 hours. So we'll get to those in a second here

But Shamara said it's not just one time

You need to do this

You need to do it all the time

Are you saying live like this

Constant So we'll get to those in a second here, but Shamara said it's not just one time you need to do this.

You need to do it all the time.

Are you saying live like this constant lie with the dude that you're saying?

It's not a lie. No, it's not a lie at all, but it's very important that most times that you do stroke your man's ego.

I know sometimes, like, my guy, I'll probably ask him something about work.

What should I do with a situation? Even though I already have the answer in my head, I just let him tell me, you know, babe, you should do X, Y, and Z. And I'm like, you know what? You're right. Even though I could be totally doing the opposite, but I'm like, yeah, honey, you're so right. you're so smart or I'll let him tell me everything I'm trying to start my own business

I'll let him tell me everything.

I'm trying to start my own business.

I'll let him give me the guidelines on how to do X, Y, and Z, even though I already know. But I just go ahead and let him tell me because he has to get his word across. So I just go ahead and make him feel like he's right every time. So how many times a day do you think that you sort of do these little white lies to your man just to make him feel good about himself?

We're talking about twice.

We talk about 40? I don't know. It's so many times. I can't even count. It's just the way that you are now. You've trained yourself so well that you don't even have to think about it anymore, do you? I don't even think about it that much anymore. I just go, you know, it saves a lot of arguments, too.

It saves the own arguments.

It saves us. well that you don't even have to think about it anymore, do you? I don't even think about it that much anymore.
