BAD BOYS
Meet Chad Cooper, or “Coop” as we fondly call him. At the age of 50, Coop's ponders if it’s even worth it, being a “nice guy” anymore. Do women prefer the “bad boy” over the stable, successful, and thoughtful partner? Life has a funny way of balancing youthful debauchery with more responsible pursuits, as he discovered while trading late-night clubbing for being a caretaker to his elderly parents. With influences from his parents' enduring marriage, we reflect on societal perceptions and personal growth that accompany being single and childless in later years. Modern dating is a beast of its own, especially when nightlife and entertainment careers are involved. As we navigate these waters, we share humor-laden tales and insights on the importance of finding partners who understand the unique demands and sacrifices of such a lifestyle.The digital age has reshaped the way we look for love, bringing both opportunities and challenges. The shift to dating apps and social media has changed the landscape, often leaving genuine human connections in the dust. But amid these complexities, there's an undeniable urgency to pursue happiness and meaningful connections without settling. We explore the societal pressures of age differences in relationships and the joys of embracing friendships. Whether it's through a shared passion for sports or simply finding joy in everyday moments, we encourage listeners to prioritize authentic bonds and cherish the companionships that truly matter.
Welcome to Two Generations, One Mic, and today's episode is called.
Speaker 2:Bad Boys.
Speaker 1:Bad Boys. I mean, I can relate to that, I'm sure every guy's like.
Speaker 2:we all relate to that Sure Phil Dunphy.
Speaker 1:I am a bad boy. I know all the words to Wicked. I'm telling you it's coming out.
Speaker 2:You know how I know you the words to Wicked. I'm telling you it's coming out. You know how I know you're gay. Yeah, I know right.
Speaker 1:No, but today we actually have a guest.
Speaker 2:Yes, we have Chad Cooper, aka Coop. And who is Coop? Why is he with us?
Speaker 1:Coop is with us because I've known Coop for a long time.
Speaker 2:So I think I said before you guys used to date right.
Speaker 1:No, we never dated. We were on hiatus, some physical things Just a couple times airport restrooms, nothing, really nothing that meant anything. Ew, david, no, so we know each other because I mentioned before I was previously. A lot of my career was in radio television. Previously, a lot of my career was in radio television and so during my radio career I was on a morning show and we did charity events. All the time. We played charity basketball games and we were out for blood playing teachers and coaches trying to win these games. And at the time Chad had just graduated high school and he was the three-point shooting champion for the high school. So I went out and grabbed him and recruited him to be on my morning radio show but to also play on our basketball team. So you were what?
Speaker 3:17, 18 17, that was in 92 93. I was a ringer. I was probably the ringer yeah, on the team um. So it was like a project graduation event where you raise money for the high school, but you didn't. You, your team, wanted to win every time yes, we did yeah there. There wasn't going to be. Oh, we're going to finish. You know we're going to lose to the teachers, or the shop teachers or the coaches or whatever it was. So wait, so you're like 50 now I'm 50, yeah, 50 years old, born in 74.
Speaker 2:So a long time I see you like a kid, I still act like a kid, a lot of times.
Speaker 3:Maybe that's where the bad boy part comes in, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:But you've grown so much as a person since. I've known you and career you start out kind of.
Speaker 2:Well, you hope so. I mean 17 to 50. Well, well, he started out on the on the radio program.
Speaker 1:But then he, he branched out. You know he's always into sports. He was a great sports writer and then now entertainment writer, right, and you do that for uh print publications.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the examiner newspaper in beaumont. I'm the entertainment editor started in 02 as sports then, uh, but my real passion was music and entertainment. I would go. You know, I've never really been outside of my town growing up. You know, just family vacations in Tennessee going to see Elvis's Graceland, you know in the 70s, parents driving up so, and staying at a Howard Johnson and getting to swim in the swimming pool. That was our summers. Right Then I met you. Next thing, you know I'm going to all these concerts and meeting all these you know famous people and backstage and Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1:Michael. There's my idol and Michael.
Speaker 3:Jordan when he's playing baseball. That was 1997. It was just an unreal experience and I'm like, okay, I love sports, but entertainment and music is my true passion. Not playing it, just wanting to be a part of it. And then, uh, you know, going to music festivals with you, you introducing me to all these uh executives, when you know you're gallivanting with NSYNC, christina Aguilera, and I'm right there, you know, with you being a part of this Lincoln Park.
Speaker 2:I was in elementary school and those were my jams.
Speaker 1:Elementary school and all this was going on Foo Fighters, dc Topp, dave Matthews Band. The list goes on and on.
Speaker 3:So I thought, okay, I want to be a part of this somehow. I'm not a musician, but I want to write about it Concert review. So I had the opportunity in the early 2000s, for I started working for a radio station in the promotions department. Never wanted to be on air, didn't want to be that, I just wanted to be the guy that described the atmosphere for people, for readers or listeners. And so, uh, I got a job with the newspaper. I've been there since.
Speaker 3:Oh, two, um, gradually became the entertainment editor, gradually became the entertainment editor and, uh, I started like, okay, well, I know Mark Landis and all these big concerts are coming to Houston, to new Orleans. This is perfect for me. I can go review a concert, I can interview you know Motley crew. Mark can get me, you know, my foot in the door a little low me, and that's how it happened. And next thing, you know, I'm on tour shooting for Coldplay.
Speaker 3:It's just on and on and on and I was able to grow into concert photography. Not a wedding photographer, not a senior portrait, not anything like that, an event nightlife concert photographer, an event nightlife concert photographer, and doing the entertainment stuff and meeting different people and having the opportunity to work for musicians and then casinos working product shots, doing all kind of stuff like that. So I've really really grown into that little skinny guy that would sit in the corner and drill three pointers for you. In 1994, when we're playing BFE high school and we're up by 25 and these people are like does he really work on the radio? And Mark's like yeah, that's my intern.
Speaker 2:You know and.
Speaker 3:I'm just like swoosh, swoosh.
Speaker 3:Right, so it's really really grown into something really, really cool man that I would never trade it for the world. But it started with you and you were, you know, brought me out of the country to mexico. Hey, we're taking a listener's trip to mexico city. Do you want to go? Absolutely, I'd lose my wallet on the first day. You know true tourist, you know person, but it's uh, it's come full circle and uh, you know, being able to work for you know these bands now and being able to take shots and see my photos on billboards and in trade magazines, it's really, it's really something cool that's something really cool, you do yeah, and you're good at it.
Speaker 1:I've seen the pictures. The pictures are so phenomenal, yeah, of of what you accomplish with these artists, and they're so artistic looking and just so good, and so I I couldn't be more proud of what you, what you've done and what you've become. It's truly amazing.
Speaker 3:We set the bar really really high, because you were the best at what you did. Everyone knew you.
Speaker 2:Oh, now you're praising him. Stop, everyone listened to you. Stop, he's still buying dinner.
Speaker 3:So if I'm going to be a protege of Mark Landis, I've got to knock it out of the park. You know, I don't want to be substandard, I don't want to be somebody that Mark doesn't talk about anymore. But yeah, it's. It's hard work but it's really, really fun and to be able to make you proud, because you basically were the one that got me started in all this and I just kind of ran with it.
Speaker 1:Well, you, I couldn't be more proud, and I've always. That's one of the things that I've always enjoyed about what I did in my whole career was one of the things that was most satisfying to me was all the people that worked with me or for me, that I watch grow into their own careers and become very, very successful at doing that and continue to do that today. So that's very satisfying for me to see that I can't leave the room now.
Speaker 2:For me to see that I can't leave the room now.
Speaker 1:Okay, we're going to drag this back to relationships, because that's what this is supposed to be about. Andy had always asked me this question and she said you know, Coop is 50. Is he gay? What's going on? He doesn't have a relationship. I've been asked that.
Speaker 2:You are one of the nicest guys I've met. That you are one of the nicest guys I've met. Right Like you're like this nice person, you have a nice personality. I mean, you're not ugly, you don't have like a falling eye or anything, that's all Like at least you're right. Sure, you're this guy that you've never been married.
Speaker 3:Never.
Speaker 2:You don't have kids. Ever, what's all that about?
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know, nice guys finish last. I guess I mean it really does. I think Now, look, there was a time in my 20s where you know I would go to the nightclubs or, as you and I say, the discotheca.
Speaker 2:La discotheca.
Speaker 3:Yeah, la discotheca. I went to the nightclubs and partied and did all that. But as you get older you're kind of like maybe that's not important as much as making money. But I have one older brother. I saw him be married twice. My parents are still living 85 and 84. You take care of them right and I'm a caretaker for my parents.
Speaker 2:See, that's amazing.
Speaker 3:Like a person that does that and I saw this long relationship and saw how my dad treated my mother and how my mother treated my father and I said, okay, I'm only going to if I get married, I'm only going to get married once. And I know it's 50-50, right when you go into something, but still to this day you know he opens the door for her. I'm just, I don't know what it is. There's what used to be green flags for guys like me no children, never been married. There's may have been an ex or two. That was a little, you know, but no baggage, right, so what used to be?
Speaker 3:oh, that's a unicorn.
Speaker 2:We got to find somebody like that has flipped, now to usually guys like you have bodies in the basement like you guys right like you, usually there's like you're so nice and you have no baggage and no crazy excess like that's coming out.
Speaker 1:Let the man have hobbies. Let the man have hobbies.
Speaker 2:You're so nice and you have no baggage and no crazy excess. Probably they're in the freezer somewhere.
Speaker 3:You know that, yeah, and it's flipped and I get asked that so what's the problem? Why haven't you been married? You must have a commitment issue. Why don't?
Speaker 3:you have children? I don't. I had before in the past. I think there's been several things that's kind of warranted different things. Pre-covid entertainment goes away. I focused on my career. Walls went up. I got hurt, heartbroken. I hate disappointment. I'm a major critic. I can look at a photo and say, oh man, I got to do this. I'm not a perfectionist. But my walls went up after a couple of long relationships where I was on the crappy end of it. Um, got broken up with, cheated on and I'm like okay, I'm done, walls up, I'm just going to.
Speaker 2:I'm gay now, yeah, oh.
Speaker 1:I'm telling you, give it a shot One year. If it doesn't take, it doesn't pay.
Speaker 3:But at least you said you tried, at least I tried.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Hey, we have really good looking gay friends out there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we have a ton of them.
Speaker 2:If you guys somebody's interested, give it a shot. He's a really nice guy.
Speaker 3:So it's walls went up and I didn't want to be disappointed and I didn't want to date someone that I didn't think I would end up with five years later. So I didn't want to do the one-night stand stuff anymore. Did that in my 20s, going out to the clubs, doing all that, being a bad boy, not returning a page because back then, pre-Andy, there were pagers.
Speaker 2:There were pagers that we wore on our hip. Yeah, like only doctors and like dealers had them right.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah.
Speaker 2:And I guess you guys Serial killers and serial killers, serial killers. So for my people that don't know, like they don't know what a pager is, it used to be like a little thingy that they carried in their like hips and like somebody will. You will call your doctor or somebody and like be like hey, please, page so-and-so, so-and-so, and you will give a little tiny message and usually like call me back or something.
Speaker 1:So yeah, that would be a number to call back, a code back.
Speaker 3:Yeah, then, we could figure out. If you could turn it upside down, you could do words and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:It's sad that she has to explain.
Speaker 3:You have to explain what a pager is.
Speaker 2:I only know them because my doctor had a pager, like my pediatric, like my pediatrician had a pager, and my mom taught me at an early age you're sick, you call your own doctor. That's the only reason I know.
Speaker 1:Was this your doctor in Mexico?
Speaker 2:Yeah, my doctor in Mexico, so it was probably also a dealer. So it.
Speaker 3:Yeah maybe yeah, so so my range of dating has just been because a lot of times now I'm at a nightclub, inside a casino, taking product shots of Bacardi Tito's.
Speaker 2:There's so many women there, right.
Speaker 3:And it's really really young, young, young, and I've been there. You know right, I've been there, and it's hard to don't. You know, young, young and I've been there, you know right, I've been there, and it's hard to you know, young people like to go out, a majority of them three or four nights a week. If they work in the service industry, their off nights are like Sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday. Well, they're going to go out Sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday. That is true, and I understand their sacrifices too. It all in the beginning is pretty cool. Um, oh, you, you're going to take pictures of Lady Gaga tonight at the Toyota Toyota center. That's cool. And then it gets to. Well, why are you going to Bruno Mars? Why, why can't I go? Or why can't I do this? And then it starts Um, cause my job, a lot of is at night.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 3:You know I do have a nine-to-fiver. Um, a lot of it's at night when I take pictures of concerts or events that go to one or two o'clock in the morning, but I know you have to meet in the middle. They're sacrifices and I and I've made that, I've made those sacrifices but, um, it's just got a weird way of not working out a lot of times right, I mean I understand like human relationships are really really complicated, right, right, like number one, meeting that person.
Speaker 2:I just feel like nowadays I mean, we've been married for 10 years I don't know how it would be for me now, today, to date people. Right, because, number one, I'm older, I am 36 and I am tired of bullshit. Right, I wouldn't know how to pretend to to like somebody, like when you, when you start like, and now, with all the apps, I mean I sound old, but when, when I was dating, before I married you, there was no like apps and anything else. Right, like. So you, if you meet somebody, it will be like like in person, right, like. So you, if you meet somebody, it will be like like in person. Right, like you meet somebody at a bar or or by a friend, like with, like in your work, and I, I mean I understand that part of you, like your work, also like doesn't allow you to meet like serious people. Let's say right, because it's like people that are going out, they're drunk.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and look the, look the apps. I've been there, done that and a lot. You swipe right, swipe left, and then you develop a relationship over text and it's not like in person, it's like you're just texting Okay, do you want to meet? You know, does this work out this way? Then you do, and it's like wait a minute, that's not the person that I swiped right on. You know, this is a different person, or?
Speaker 1:Yeah, so their online persona is not completely different.
Speaker 3:Right, you know it's like that's not the photo. It's very difficult, it is. There's not a lot of human interaction now. When you go to dating Back in the day, you go to bars. Now it's over apps Snapchat, instagram, sliding into a girl's DMs. That's the norm now.
Speaker 2:But I don't see you doing that. I don't see you being that creepy dude. No, I don't, because you're not that person.
Speaker 3:I've become very nice, and that's probably the problem. That's a big. I've been told that's a red flag. You're too nice.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because she was telling us today that this I guess there's a hereditary thing behind the bad boys thing why women are attracted to bad boys.
Speaker 2:It's not hereditary. It's an evolution trait that women we like the bad boy kind of persona, because we, as an evolutionary thing, we used to seek that in our tribe, right Like the bad boy that could protect me and whoa there's something wrong with you.
Speaker 1:You're going to get ran over. You can't stand up for yourself.
Speaker 3:It is Absolutely.
Speaker 2:Yeah like you're not going to stand for me or like I mean I got to say it. This guy, my husband, he's one of the nicest people I know. I can defend myself. I will never ask him to defend me because I can punch somebody but and I can I don't need him for that. But I know he will never like not stand behind me trying to protect me. We'll put that on a test one day. We'll see what happens. But I understand that. Like if I will just meeting you and you're telling me you're all this nice person and everything, I'm like there's something wrong with you.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, oh, I've got, I've received that a lot.
Speaker 2:And then and I don't blame you, I blame no, no.
Speaker 3:Look and I and I understand, and I've't blame you, I blame us. No, look and I understand and I've tried to like— Because we're messed up, tried to hide certain things. I'm not going to be a dick, right, I'm just not. Maybe you have to be a little bit. I was in the past, I do. I have to learn to kind of turn that on. And then, when you get in the part where, oh, I'm very close to my mom and dad, always have, been amazing, and that in itself is a full-time job and you even have an older brother.
Speaker 1:That doesn't really help, right he hasn't.
Speaker 3:He's in his own world and so it's been me in um, especially during covid. You know my dad, congestive heart failure, you know all this stuff your stuff your parents are in their eighties.
Speaker 3:They're in, they're in their eighties. My mom just turned 84, uh, bless her heart. Uh, the nicest human beings in the world. Um, and, and there's probably a lot of times where, no, you need to go out and be yourself and do this, and there's a lot of times I just I don't choose to that because I know, ok, this may be the last birthday I spend with them, right, and so you know, and a lot of women don't like that, they see it as a negative, they see it as a red flag. Well, it just happens. It is now red flag. Well, it just happens.
Speaker 2:It is now Some don't but once they just want to hook up, but just ones that you like.
Speaker 3:Okay, I want to spend the you know a lot of time with, and maybe the rest of my life with, a lot of them don't like that. Why are you choosing to go shoot concert photos over me tonight? I want to go see this movie.
Speaker 2:That's your job, or?
Speaker 3:what? This movie, because that's your job? Or what? I tell them that, well, you can do it tomorrow. Well, no, lady gaga won't be here tomorrow he's in europe sorry lady, you know it's like well
Speaker 2:can't your brother help why?
Speaker 3:why do you have to go to the grocery store for your parents, your dad? Kind of dry, it's gotten very, very kind of. So the walls went up. I did everything and then I started dating and going out. I dated older women. How?
Speaker 3:was that it was interesting. I've never dated someone really older than me. I'm 50 now. I've dated in my late 40s. They were she was in her mid-50s, but I dated someone in their mid-60s who was widowed and I thought it was great. It was pretty cool, um, but her friends and her children didn. I thought it was great, it was pretty cool, um, but her friends and her children didn't think it was very cool.
Speaker 2:They gave her younger.
Speaker 3:I was younger and you don't look 50. You don't act 50. You look more like you're in your thirties or forties and that and that and that you know. Hey look, I was most humorous class clown class of 1993 in my high school, right, so you know. But I know when to turn that on, I know when to turn it off and I get her side of it. So. But I liked her, I had a crush on her, I thought it was really, really cool and she goes. Well, I'm going to be, you know, 70 and you're going to be 55. And I'm like I don't care, that shouldn't matter if there's ages involved. And then, when it's flipped, I'm 50 and I'm dating a 23-year-old. I'm the age of her father.
Speaker 3:That's very odd and normally doesn't work out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because I'm sitting here 25 years older than her, but not everybody's, me it's not, it's not. And she doesn't act like a. I am not Mentally and emotionally and maturity-wise. She doesn't act like a much younger person. She falls asleep before I do I do I am?
Speaker 2:I'm an old lady, I just like to Netflix, and then I'm just like yeah, last night I think she was asleep at 7.
Speaker 1:So as I was still watching television football, I turned it on football.
Speaker 3:Did it once ever go through your mind the age difference when y'all first met? Or was hey, I'm clicking with this guy, he's nice, I don't care what people say. Or did you battle with that?
Speaker 2:I kind of battled a little bit, but honestly I've always loved older men okay I don't have daddy issues or anything, because my dad was great as that and I really enjoyed my time with him. But man, I really like older men like harrison ford. If you're watching, hit me up like like I.
Speaker 3:I really like competing with indiana jones right and Indiana Jones, Indiana Jones right and Han.
Speaker 2:Solo, han Solo, like I don't, like I never liked people my age and honestly, like I am sorry, guys Like, but we women mature more like fast right.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, the issue I had with was mostly I mean I don't know like him having a little bit of baggage behind you know, like he has been married before, he has kids, which his daughter, tiffany. She's my best friend, we're the same age.
Speaker 3:Now, is that interesting or difficult? Not at all.
Speaker 1:Not at all, Because you would think it would be. But Tiffany also works for us in our beauty company, our beauty brand company. She works for us, our beauty company, our beauty brand company. She works for us. We talk to her. Her and Tiffany talk probably I don't know 10 times a day, most every day. We're actually leaving, you know, to see them as much as possible and they try to see us as much as possible. She'll come to Europe to see us when we're over there, but they get along very, very well and there's no weirdness about that.
Speaker 2:Well, it was at first. When I met her, I was like, okay, is this going to be weird? But her and.
Speaker 2:I like exactly the same things. We are very much alike and when we are together without you, we usually like. People are like oh, so what are you guys like? I was like some people think we're dating honestly. Like there was this time we were like business traveling and we were like having dinner and I don't know how like people like oh, who's like the? The waitress at the end was like, oh, who's paying for the? Like she thought we were dating or something. I was like okay, no, we're not, but we're like this, I don't know like sisters. She's also my stepdaughter, but she's also my best friend and it's just a weird thing and I honestly love her to death.
Speaker 3:That's pretty cool though.
Speaker 2:I call her my sour patch because she's the cutest person, but she could also be so mean. She's a meanie and I adore her Like I cannot see my life without her and him right.
Speaker 1:And Tiffany, you said that she's one year older than she is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm one year older.
Speaker 3:I've tried the long-distance relationship where I live.
Speaker 2:That wouldn't work for me.
Speaker 3:You know I've tried that and it did a little bit, but then it's just so much pressure, like, okay, do you spend this weekend with the person and do you have to work this week? Or my off days are different than her off days, mondays and Tuesdays, which are busier than mine. It's hard. It's hard being single in 2024, especially when you live in a smaller community.
Speaker 3:That is true you live in, you know, a lot of the people or whatever it is, and now it is again. An industrial part of the state of Texas where I live is a lot of, you know, oil and gas and that's dominated by the workforce and there's a lot of people that work at the plants and they have the eight to five, for, you know, 6 am to 6 pm on the shift work, the shift work, and a lot of women want that. Yeah, they want to have dinner at the same time, they want to have this at the same time they want to have like a normal kind of the normal average yeah, and nothing I do.
Speaker 3:I don't think is is normal anymore.
Speaker 2:But then you also meet all these women, like you told me that are like already, like in their fourth marriage I do because that doesn't work for them either no no, and so so we again, we want this normal thing, but then we also want this bad boy thing. But we also are not happy with that. But then when the nice guy comes, I mean, thankfully my nice guy came and I took advantage of it.
Speaker 3:But um, yeah, if I mean a nice guy comes, then we're like not sure about it yeah, and when you're cheated, when you're in a relationship and with someone and you're cheated on by the bad boy that she's had to put, like and I didn't want drama.
Speaker 3:If I want to be in a real, I try to stay drama free and I know life has its ups and downs all the time, but when she has to put a protection order against this guy and then she's cheating on you with this guy, it's like I'm not going, it's not gonna work, it's not going to work, it's not going to live that way I apologize for because I, no, because I, I, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Again, like I said, like if I wasn't with him now, I don't know what my life would be, I don't know what my dating habits would be. I used to date like, really bad guys, like and when I say bad guys I mean like. But if there were bad relationships, there were toxic like toxic relationships and I've healed myself a lot through them with him and that's why our relationship works, because I I've changed If I was the same person.
Speaker 2:I was back in that time I don't think we will be together. Like because we have toxic traits. Like why are you going out right now?
Speaker 3:Like we constantly text and hey, why are you going out right now Constantly texting, hey, why didn't you text me back? And it's like a couple hours later, when you text someone back, oh, I'm still that person, are you?
Speaker 2:I mean we're together 24-7. And I'm like, why are you answering the phone?
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You're in the restroom. I know you have your phone. I'm not far away. I'm in the shower.
Speaker 2:I know you have your phone with you when you're booping, so I know you're not answering.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and I've been the friends with benefits thing, you know, and the things that you miss are you know, I'm old fashioned the holding hands you know the kissing and stuff like that in public and all that.
Speaker 3:But I've kind of learned. Here's the red flag. I've learned to be really independent, and I know a lot of women don't like that. A lot of women want some codependency on them a little bit. But I've learned to be very, very independent, strong-minded, boom, boom, boom, work, try to keep a doctor schedule and work as much as I can, and I know a lot of women that don't like that. But again though, I know you have to meet in the middle and I know you have to sacrifice things, but it just seems like when you do, that's when the knives come out and it's just like I've put my walls up, I'm not getting hurt. I don't want to be disappointed. I don't want to bring this person home to my parents and then two months later they ask about this young lady. She's nowhere around. That's a thing. Yeah, I know I've been labeled a softie a lot.
Speaker 1:So what's the future hold? What do you see in your future, what's your priority and what are you hoping?
Speaker 3:happens. I don't want to literally I don't want to die alone. I look at my parents and they have each other. So it's on the list, that priority list, to find someone to spend the rest of my life with.

Speaker 2:I swear he's a good guy. He's not a serial killer or anything, he's just a nice guy.
Speaker 3:But it's on the priority list to make that a priority and to stop working in trying to be the best at this, because I'm running out of time too, because you're never guaranteed tomorrow. You're just not.
Speaker 2:That is true, true and I could say the same thing you know yeah, so, um, it is, it's.
Speaker 3:I don't want to force it and just settle, but it is a priority to find someone to fall in love with and, like you know whether we have dogs, cats, tarantulas, raised baby raccoons something I want baby raccoons can I be the godmother come? See y'all in Spain. Yes, and all the raccoons yeah so it's definitely on the priority list to get it going here you know she says this all the time.
Speaker 1:She says you know what would you do if something happened to me?

What's your plans? And I said I can't even imagine she's talking about, she doesn't want to date. I can't even imagine going on dates. I was telling her and Tiffany we're all having this conversation at dinner and I said, yeah, if something were God forbid to happen to Andy, there's not a chance in hell I'm going to be dating. I said what I'd really like to do is find a man that I could really have a close relationship and talk about sports all the time and go to sporting events and do that kind of stuff. And I said if I could be like, you know, be like gay, but without the sex.
