Good afternoon, good evening or good morning, hi everybody. This is Joey and next to me is Gia. Gia, how are you?
Speaker 2:Good Joey, how about you?
Speaker 1:I'm doing fine and Jesse's with us. Jesse is our host at Space Coast Podcast, so hello to you, jesse.
Speaker 3:What's up, guys?
Speaker 1:Not much. Gotta get some volume on my mic. Oh there you go.
Speaker 3:Welcome back to the studio for episode two.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're excited. Our first show went pretty well. What'd you think about week one?
Speaker 2:Me.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, I thought you were talking to Jesse.
Speaker 1:Oh, same thing.
Speaker 2:I enjoyed the week. It was really good and the episode was well did well.
Speaker 1:Yeah, how about you?
Speaker 2:How was your week? How did you?
Speaker 1:Oh, my week. My week was good. My week was good. Unfortunately, I stood under the streetlight waiting for people to recognize me, but nobody recognized me.
Speaker 2:Not yet. No, not yet, not yet.
Speaker 1:Not yet, but anyway. So oh Gia.
Speaker 2:I got to tell you. I got to tell you. What are you going to tell me?
Speaker 1:I. Are you going to tell me? I don't know how you people all feel. Jesse, jesse, jesse's probably heard me talk about this, but you know, I'm planning to go see my, my family. I got to go see my mom soon. I didn't want to go in, I didn't want to go in February, cause it's just cold and the rain and the snow. The thought, just the thought of me having to go to the airport just freaks me the hell out. Have you traveled recently?
Speaker 1:Me no, no, no, Jesse have you been to the airport recently?
Speaker 3:Not in a while.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, have you been walking through? I don't know if I'm at the TSA line or I'm out the line at Walmart. It's unbelievable. I see more people wearing pajamas at the airport. That just pisses me off. Do you like that, jesse? Why are you traveling in pajamas? I know you want to be comfortable, but pajamas, pajamas. You're 40, 50 years old. Put clothes on, for God's sakes.
Speaker 2:I know, I know the girls just got kicked off for the yoga pants and that was just this week the yoga pants, along with the tops.
Speaker 1:Now, that's comfort.
Speaker 2:You see everyone everywhere wearing the yoga pants and the the tops. Now, that's comfort. You see everyone everywhere wearing the yoga pants and the top.
Speaker 1:I don't have a problem with women in yoga pants. I have a problem with men in yoga pants, but I don't come across that too often. However, I do have a problem with people wearing pajamas on an airplane.
Speaker 2:It's just, there's no decorum, but what do you?
Speaker 1:consider pajamas, pajamas. Like I explained my Batman pajamas the other day. They're wearing fleece, freaking pajamas with those slides, with the black socks, not even shoes. Wear a pair of pants, wear a nice, comfortable pair of something, but pajamas, pajamas. And then they get on the airplane and they don't even know how to freaking count. The numbers on an airplane are the same numbers as you get on a, like you learned in third grade math Row two, row three, row four If you're at row 30, you don't slow down at row four, you just continuously move. The thought of having to get on a plane next to some of these people that have no clue how to travel pisses me off.
Speaker 2:That's why I don't fly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you want another one, but you probably like this. Guys sitting next to me or in the airport because we're in Florida, they're heading to Florida, so they don't wear a shirt, they wear a tank top or cut off. I don't want to sit next to some guy with his hairy arms. He's got the arm hair hanging out like he's friggin' Rapunzel.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's, descriptive Well how else do you describe it? That's what I see when I see these guys walking around Wear a shirt. For God's sakes, oh boy, oh, forget it. It just pisses me off and what do you wear Me?
Speaker 2:What do you wear? You see, a shirt like this, a suit and a tie.
Speaker 1:No, I don't wear a suit. I wear comfortable clothes. They're very comfortable.
Speaker 2:Well, yoga, man might not want the golf pants around him.
Speaker 1:Well, no man should be wearing yoga pants unless he dances. He may Well, there's nothing wrong with that, but not yoga pants Anyway. So that's just the thought of having to travel and get on the airline and to see these people in the slides with the black socks and the shorts. That just looks. It looks awful.
Speaker 2:Now that's half the airport with the slides and the socks, because you have to go through the TSA. So you want to kick them off. Kick them on, keep your feet clean.
Speaker 1:Then pay for the TSA Pay $85. You're talking to a Florida girl here.
Speaker 2:We wear slides everywhere you want to do yes, but are you wearing them with black socks? If I was going through the airport, I would wear socks with them. I can't tell you what color.
Speaker 1:Jesse, is this a girl or a guy thing wearing the slides with the black socks? Am I wrong?
Speaker 3:I'm not sure I wear black socks with my slides. But you're going to the gym. No, I don't wear slides at the gym. I wear athletic shoes.
Speaker 1:All right, there you go. It's a casual thing.
Speaker 3:Running errands around town.
Speaker 2:My adult sons all wear it.
Speaker 1:Maybe it's a generational thing. It's a generational thing we talked about last week about dressing appropriate. That's all I'm just reviewing. Last week Dress your age.
Speaker 3:I would just say, if you're going on an international flight or a red eye, maybe pajamas could be appropriate. If you know you're going to appropriate, um, if you know you're going to be landing at midnight, you know and you're gonna be picked up by your grandma, and just take it to a basement, you know, and you just you're already ready for bed you ain't gonna change you know, you're just, you're just dressed for going to grandma just wait.
Speaker 1:No, then you might as well just wear your robe too and look like you have to.
Speaker 3:For god's sakes, it's ridiculous oh, a robe would be great, especially if you know I got my board shorts underneath and I'm getting off the plane to hawaii and all I gotta do is throw off my robe, and I went off on the wrong subject I go to the beach. No, that's what I call traveling, you know I, I'm just an advocate for anybody, you know, dressing sensibly for where they're going. You know, know, everybody has different destinations. I know. Oh, you want to grumble, I know.
Speaker 1:I know I'm going to be a grump. I'm going to be a grump. I'm going to be a curmudgeon. That was a new word I taught.
Speaker 3:Yes, and at the end of the day, if you saw how like the you know, I mean maybe if you're like business class in delta, yeah, you know I would. I would demand a little bit of wardrobe. You know a little bit of a little decorum little decorum for where you're at. If you're driving, you know if you're in first class, but then again, first class if you've seen some of these like accommodations. They got showers, they got beds.
Speaker 1:So maybe it's even more appropriate Take a shower, put on your pajamas, sit in your little cubicle and then nobody has to see you walk the airport in pajamas. Now I remember it was post COVID Jesse. Remember I drove you to the airport. Jesse didn't pack, jesse wore four. Jesse was overdressed for the plane. He had four blazers on, three sweaters and two pairs of pants and four pairs of socks. Luggage costs like 50 bucks so I put my underwear in my pockets.
Speaker 3:I wear my luggage.
Speaker 2:Smart travel.
Speaker 3:No, I got like three shorts on, maybe not four blazers, but I have a couple jackets on and and I wear my luggage. He looked like the michelin man, but I save, I save money.
Speaker 3:I'm trying to travel, you know, economically, you know I mean I'm going on a bullcrap carrier who's taking me from one bullcrap you know uh destination to another and it's probably the, you know, maybe not for the best uh circumstance, but you know I mean I traveled to new jersey for my grandmother's funeral. I mean, not, you know I'm not gonna. You know I mean I traveled to New Jersey for my grandmother's funeral. I mean, you know I'm not going to. You know it's not a destination where I'm going to go snorkeling. You know I don't need like a lot of luggage. I'm going there for a couple of days and I leave and guess what? They have stores in New Jersey. If I need some wardrobe, you know I'll just buy it when I get there.
Speaker 1:You look like the Michelin man. It was kind of funny. I like that.
Speaker 3:I have no shame in my game, no way. I mean you used to be able to bring a carry-on for a flat rate. You can't anymore. No, they nickel and dime you for everything, my problem is just the way I pack, I pack, like I'm Mariah Carey going on a 10-day tour for two days.
Speaker 1:Forget about me on Gilligan's.
Speaker 3:Island.
Speaker 1:Oh God, yeah, oh God, yeah, oh God, oh, I, I, but I have closed up my parents now, so anyway, so that's it, that's it, that's my little, that's my little go-to, because this having to fly back and fly that one particular airline is just um. I just follow the people to the gate. I. They're wearing 10, but if I see 10 people in pajamas, I know where they're going. So I just follow them.
Speaker 2:I don't have to worry I can't wait for the stories afterwards, oh good.
Speaker 3:God, you don't know, I just sit there and I just cringe, but anyway, I'm looking forward to Joey's TikTok, where he's in line at TSA and he's got this horrible grimace judging everybody.
Speaker 1:Not satisfied with anybody's wardrobe. Just being that grumpy guy in the line. Well, you know what?
Speaker 2:it is. No, you know what it is. And the entire line has slides with black socks. Well, I get into that.
Speaker 1:But you know, I pay for the TSA, I pay for Clear, so I just walk through, oh.
Speaker 3:Clear is great. Yeah, thank you, it's worth every bit.
Speaker 1:Absolutely, absolutely. But my concern, my thinking is, is have situational awareness.
Speaker 3:Well, people like that so much they're face down on their phone. They have no idea you could easily rob these people and they would have. If I had a malaligned bone in my body, I would totally take advantage of people with their phones. They're so distracted. It's unreal.
Speaker 1:Now here's the deal. Here's the deal Because we reach people over 50, 55, 60. You have your grown children, but now you got grandchildren. Teach the grandchildren situational awareness. Make them be aware the parent might be clueless, but make the kid be a little sharper. Have the kid tell the parent what to do.
Speaker 2:What do?
Speaker 1:you mean? You understand what I'm saying. Don't worry about it, let's just I got to get off the subject, because now I'm going to go into another rant.
Speaker 3:No, you got to take your blood pressure medicine. Yeah, now my blood is boiling Because I'm used to traveling.
Speaker 1:When I travel, I'm used to traveling alone because I did a lot of business.
Speaker 2:I will never get on a plane with you, Well we just eliminated three sponsors in California. Okay, I'll fly separate.
Speaker 1:So anyway. So this week. I know that was our rant, but you know we had a great show last week and we talked about dating right. So one of the questions I posed to to Gia this week and. Jesse, I don't know if you looked at any of our notes. Was is dating into over 50. Is it worth it? Do we get into a comfort zone? Is it worth it, gia?
Speaker 2:and well, I haven't had a lot of experience, but from what I've seen from my coffee date and everyone's talk, I don't know. It's up in the air, because there's so many red flags and bad stories that I'm not sure. How are you feeling about it? What's your opinion, mr Dater?
Speaker 1:I don't know if I'm Mr Dater. I don't just date to date. I don't know if I'm Mr Dater, I just I don't just date to date. I don't do that, I don't.
Speaker 2:No, well, I mean over the years, your life experiences.
Speaker 1:Right, but I was younger, I had more patience for it. I think now I'd rather be by myself than have to go through all that process. We were out the other day. Gia and I were out the other day. We were having lunch and I sat at the table. I said let's spot the people who are on first dates. We didn't see any because that's awkward and I guess the first date is. Probably the hardest part is getting to that first date. What do you think?
Speaker 2:getting the first date? Yeah, I would guess so. But the first dates I would think is more simple because it's general. You're just getting to know somebody to see if so, but the first dates I would think is more simple because it's general, you're just getting to know somebody to see if there'll be a second date. You think, yeah, I do, but then you can, you know, also pick out the red flags if there are any.
Speaker 2:Sure On the first date you can find the red flag. Oh, I believe so. I believe that once you are at a certain age, you have so many life experiences that you can see right through it, and I believe that that's seen in that first date.
Speaker 1:Well, most of the time, most of the time, because that first date you had at the coffee shop was not normal.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, it wasn't. No, I just kind of enjoyed the entertainment and drank my coffee.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I guess dating now is almost like me being on an airline line, because I don't have patience for it. I don't think no, no, I don't know, I don't know. I'm kind of happy just being by myself now.
Speaker 2:But you date still.
Speaker 1:A little bit, not a lot. I haven't been.
Speaker 3:You have to have intention when you're dating, do you want companionship. Do you want romance? Do you want? You know, I feel like you know, at a certain age, you just know what's going to make you comfortable. You know you're not looking to breed, most likely.
Speaker 1:Breed Breed. What am I? A farm animal Not breeding? You're not no longer breeding farm animal, you're breeding you're, you're no longer breeding.
Speaker 2:No, you're, you're past that it's true, and you know what at this age you're not even interested in somebody who is like, I don't like for me.
Speaker 3:I don't even want a, a mom or or kids or, other dependents, living with them, like I.
Speaker 3:Like I want you to have like be an empty nester and because I don't want to deal with your kid drama, I don't. I don't want you to have like be an empty nester because I don't want to deal with your kid drama, I don't need you to choose me over your kid and that's just me. I mean, a lot of people have kids and that's their demand and like God bless them and maybe they can find somebody who has that patience and wants to just jump into a domestic you know type of situation where, guess what, you're making kids cereals and packing lunches. Maybe some guys would thrive on that, not me.
Speaker 1:I want someone who's spontaneous, who we can go travel, I can get up, and we learned about Jesse last week and his libido, so he needs an empty house, so to speak.
Speaker 3:The walls are shaking. The earth was quaking.
Speaker 1:I know that's too much information. Anyway, why don't we take a quick break here and then, when we come back, we're going to go through a bunch of different scenarios, and this upcoming segment is being sponsored by our friends at Brevard Chiropractic and Injury Center. Check them out and we'll see you in a minute. All right, we are back, but bringing us into this segment is sponsored by Brevard Chiropractic and Injury Center. They have one of the coolest things you want to see, especially if you have some pain. I know we're very lucky here. None of us have pain anymore, but if you do, they have what's called a shockwave device and it's actually known as a stem cell machine. I'm going to read this off so I don't screw this up for them, because they're such great people. Anyway. So it's a stem cell machine and because it's gentle, it's safe, it's effective and low-cost way of avoiding more invasive, painful procedures. It's really cool how it is. It's got this little hand with a light. It's like a flashlight with a light at the end, like a round little thing.
Speaker 3:Like lasers.
Speaker 1:It's not lasers at all. It's like a lamp, but it's not even hot. You don't even feel it. That's like it says. It's non-invasive and it's an acoustic. Here's what it is. It's an acoustic. Here's what it is. It's an acoustic wave that does three amazing things it increases blood flow and lymphatic flow. Nice, that's important.
Speaker 2:Yes. Recycles old, damaged cells, wow yeah.
Speaker 1:And I'm going to talk about that in a second and it stimulates your body's own stem cells and that way, no matter where you need it, your body can heal naturally. And so many now we're getting more into. I think heading into the next few years we're going to be more holistic or natural and trying to be more healthy, because we want to make America healthy great again.
Speaker 2:I think so too, but this sounds like something even if you are healthy and don't have pain would be good for you Well it is, and you know, the interesting thing about that is about the blood flow and the blood blood circulation.
Speaker 1:If you're going to have surgery coming up, if you have pain before your surgery or after surgery, they recommend taking it. You know you take a few of the, you take a couple of sessions with them so that it helps the blood flow before the surgery and after. Imagine that.
Speaker 1:And then it recuperates the blood cells. So if you could pick one area on your body that would benefit from this type of advanced cellular healing, where would it be? Go? To Brevard Chiropractic Center. We'll probably have this sell up again. To give you that phone number, jesse, you want to throw that slide up real quick so we have that phone number for everybody. Yeah, call them over at 321-631-1100. Uh, that's 321-631-1100, check it out. It's really cool. This whole stem cell thing is pretty cool. I might have to ask him about hair. What do you think, jesse? What do you think? Grow some hair?
Speaker 3:hair rejuvenation, yeah I didn't ask about that that might be a good question.
Speaker 1:That might be for next week hair re rejuvenation.
Speaker 3:Maybe I'm not sure if that's in the wheelhouse of a chiropractic center. I think they want to just help with recovery. No, I mean that whole stem cell thing, you know. Yeah, I mean, listen, it's supposed to stimulate old cells, right, right, and it's like an anti-aging thing, it's a rejuvenation thing, may awaken hair follicles. Do you think they would remember?
Speaker 1:what it was like to have hair on my head.
Speaker 3:I don't know. I kind of like the shiny Me too. You know what it's less work.
Speaker 1:I can wear my baseball hat and not worry about my hair getting all messy. I don't have to shake my head like I was Fabio.
Speaker 3:No, you save money on shampoo and other hair products. Haircuts Right, right, yeah, you just take the bick to it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because right now I go through a bottle of shampoo every six months.
Speaker 3:Not even that long, Six years. Who are you kidding? I just don't Like. How much shampoo can you really use?
Speaker 1:I lather it up for old time's sake, oh.
Speaker 2:Anyway, oh, okay, anyway. So just before, no comment, I'm just going to Sorry. Next week we're going to have a two-page sponsor oh.
Speaker 1:So before we broke for commercial we were talking about, is dating worth it? And it is worth it, you know, if you meet the right person. I mean, I say I don't have patience, but you know I do come across somebody that I do like and it could all be worth it you know, so you just have to.
Speaker 1:It's the situation that you're in in the person, right, jesse? Yes, thank you. Good answer agreed, yeah, good, okay. So where are we going after this? What are we doing? We got um. So what we talk about, you know, is dating worth it. But when you're dating, and, and in our age, you know is dating worth it, but when you're dating and in our age you know, you start dating, you just finished being divorced. Is that the right word? Finished being divorced or you don't divorce?
Speaker 2:You. Divorce is settled, divorced, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:You divorce is settled and maybe you're a widow, and maybe being a widow is a little bit different than me.
Speaker 1:Our widower, widower, yes different than me, our widower. Widower, yes, and you're dating somebody and you think it's the right thing at the right time. But then you know, two or three months down the road, you say you know what, I'm not ready. How does that affect? How do you tell somebody at that point you don't want to date them anymore? Do you think that's the hard part of saying goodbye to somebody? Um, what, what do you think? What do you think? What do you think? I mean, you're in it and you go. Ah, my mind is willing, but my heart's just not there. And it could be a great person too.
Speaker 3:If you're upfront and honest, they may feel the same way Like, yeah, I don't want to be emotionally involved with your monkey ass, Joey, but you're fun to hang out with my monkey ass I shave.
Speaker 3:I'd say bamboo now, but they'd be like they may say you know you, so they may be feeling the same way. They may feel the same way. I think. Being upfront and honest and even going into it like I may not be emotionally available, but I think you're very kind, I think you're very warm, I want to have you know, drinks with you, or friends with you, or travel with you, being upfront and honest the whole way, I think, would just, you know, eliminate the fact of you know trying to hurt somebody's feelings, because if you're upfront, they know where you stand.
Speaker 1:So that almost goes back to last week's show too. The disclosure upfront. Yes, I mean, if you're just newly divorced, do you go in and say, look, I don't know if I'm ready for this. Is that something you would say up front, or is that a red flag? Let's go to that red flag as well. That might cover both. I don't know if it's a red flag necessarily.
Speaker 2:I mean it's honest. How can honesty be a red flag, Right?
Speaker 3:If you hide things, that's more of a red flag than saying hey. By the way, when you invited me to dinner, I was kind of, you know, hesitant and reluctant because of a recently you know recent breakup, or I'm not sure if I'm emotionally available. But I, like you, and I didn't want to feel like you know I, you know you were unattractive or hurt your feelings. So I'm here to have a good time and if you want to keep it casual, I'm up for that. But if you want something a little bit more romantic and more intimate right away, just be cautioned, I may not know what I'm doing.
Speaker 3:I mean, apparently I was a horrible wife or whatever, and my last relationship at least that's what my ex told me and so maybe I have some development issues or whatever, and so, yeah, but maybe I have some development issues or whatever, and and so yeah, um, but I don't know, maybe the end of the first date where you're, like you know, actually like liking somebody but I would probably want to divulge that like sit down, like I don't like a iced tea and uh, by the way, uh, I'm not sure if I'm emotionally available Like Maybe the second date or something, I don't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know. I think Jessie would make a nice wife.
Speaker 3:That's what my husband told me. Hey, it's 2025.
Speaker 2:You live your life, your own way. Yeah, we're not going down that road.
Speaker 1:I would not be a good wife, because I am a dude and I like my women. And then you know that was the other thing.
Speaker 2:I'm looking at our notes because sometimes I have a tendency oh, now you're looking at the notes. Well, because I have a tendency to wander.
Speaker 3:I'm not saying that Is he a ramble monster over here.
Speaker 1:Yes, I do ramble. That's the exhausting part of me.
Speaker 3:Got to crack that whip, Gia. I know she's trying.
Speaker 2:Oh, it was funny because when we were out the other day, I reminded him several times of a timeline.
Speaker 1:So if the show seems faster this week it's because she has said cut back. Oh, talk faster or don't talk at all.
Speaker 2:No, I didn't say it like that. No, no, no, that is not no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3:But what was some feedback from you guys? I mean, you're holding the run of the show. Is there any part of the show where you're going to talk about some feedback?
Speaker 1:Yeah, we'll talk about it towards the end and like we're just reviewing. Some of the stuff we're talking now is based on what we learned from our friends at my Mindful Match and comments, questions and the comments and questions.
Speaker 1:And then you know here's one, too, that we discussed and how long before you go back to dating? I mean, is there a mourning period after your separation, your divorce or the breakup? Some people have been divorced a very long time and then they've been on, they've had a long time dating partner, so to speak, and that ended. Or a long-term relationship. And now there's all these words relationships, situationships I could share some experience on that and I made some mistakes in that area, and it's not fair to the person.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Okay, okay. What would those mistakes be? What would you? Well, not so much what the mistakes would be. What would you suggest? I suggest you wait. What would you change?
Speaker 1:I would have changed waiting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you would have waited longer. Yeah, I would have waited longer After that situationship To go into the next one.
Speaker 1:Yep yep, yep, okay, because you're Mentally you're I'm stuttering here, I'm trying to find the right words you mentally think you're healing, you meet a great person, but there's something that's lacking in between, because you didn't have that little. I don't know what I want to do yet, and that's not fair to them.
Speaker 2:Well, and it's really up to you, when you make that choice, to put yourself out there. I think that you almost should. You should make sure you're ready before you go out there, instead of having to be on that first date and saying, hey, I don't know if I'm ready for this.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, no, that's where I I think I made my my mistakes. Yeah.
Speaker 3:If only, if only women would would follow that, because a lot of them are just there after the, the couple of glasses of wine, the free steak dinner, and they don't mind hopping from guy to guy, Knowing that very well. They're not there for a long time, just a very short, quick time and a fun time.
Speaker 3:And they'll give you some fun dates and then, before you know it, you're going to figure out real quick that she's not ready for commitment or anything else. But uh, but you know, and that would be nice if women told you that too, like you know, thanks, thanks for dinner, but I don't see this going anywhere because I haven't done my internal work. Even though they won't put it that way, they'll just say, you know, it's the timing's bad. Um, but thank you for the dinner. I like a free meal.
Speaker 1:But I think you know, moving down the road and that's a great point, jesse is, through the last few months I've learned a lot and maybe that's where we bring in one of our experts and where we bring back Mindful Match and we talk about, you know, avoidance and attachment styles. That's a key, you know're. Jesse seems to, you know, have a wild libido. So he wants somebody that's going to be readily available. They might be busy, but he wants that.
Speaker 1:Two o'clock in the morning knock at the door where some women they don't want that, they don't want to be talked to, they don't even want to be told good night. You know, that's too much for them, that's. I think they call that one an avoidance, but I don't want to get into it. And then there's an attachment style where you know you like to say good morning, you like to say good night. So I think we should explore that one a little bit more. And as you're dating somebody you kind of can pick up on, I don't think that's a red flag, but understand their style Like I want to go slow or hey, this isn't my thing, like Jesse said, you know, I think those are, those are things you learn. We didn't have that. Years ago, dating, you know we didn't have avoidance styles, either this one's clingy or, oh my God, this one doesn't.
Speaker 1:We didn't have cell phones or text, so you didn't have to worry about them texting you, you know, three days later after saying, hey, good morning, and you get it three nights later saying, hey, good evening, I've been busy. That's that whole ghosting and all that other stuff that goes into this new dating world. And I'm going to say something, being that our group is 55 to 60. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2:I thought it was something else.
Speaker 1:No, no, no. I think we should stick to the old school style of dating and stop you know this like the ghosting and just go back to old school Date, like you did when we were younger. Forget about it. You know, you pick up the phone.
Speaker 2:You say hello, but is that how most people over 50 date?
Speaker 1:I mean is I don't know anymore. I mean, I mean, you're over 50.
Speaker 2:Have you experienced more of the no social media concept recently?
Speaker 1:Or do you still feel like it's One out of three? One out of three?
Speaker 2:One out of three.
Speaker 1:One out of three was more of that, and when you find that, is it like the younger yes person? Yes, yes, well, that makes sense. Yes, so that was, like you know, understanding and not understanding, but understanding um later gotcha does that make sense?
Speaker 2:yes, I find that it does, I think we need dr phil in here right now. This is, I don't know. This is very emotional, I think I might need a drink. This is why I'm not dating. It's a little too much for me.
Speaker 1:It gets complicated, and that's why we're having this show yeah no thanks, but that's why we're doing this show to help people get you know, to get answers, and we want you guys, we want your input. We'll For our email eventually, but it's GiaJoey's podcast. Giajoey'spodcast at gmailcom.

Speaker 3:I got some thin men.
Speaker 2:Y'all have not seen the TikToks on the Girl Scout cookies.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying Look them up. I scored Girl Scout cookies yesterday. I was thrilled to death. I got lucky, I got lucky.
Speaker 3:Now Gia's got me like sidetracked. But, what happened with TikTok and Girl Scout cookies.
Speaker 2:They're like poison.
Speaker 3:Oh.
Speaker 2:The cookies? They're really no, they're not good?
Speaker 3:No, they're not good.
Speaker 2:They're worse than just not good.
Speaker 3:Oh, I had a whole sleeve of Thin Mints yesterday, I know, and I had my three.
Speaker 1:I had my three Go look up those TikToks. Anyway, I posed a question to the ladies and the men in the audience Most of them. I got a lot of response. I got a lot of response and I asked Jess before the show started Do men still wear cologne?
Speaker 1:I don't, I wear like a, you know a body wash, I use my carry lotion to keep my skin nice and softly soft, and then I have a little coconut lotion that gives a nice little smell, but I don't wear cologne because I don't know what's a good scent and some people you know some people are sensitive to smell, so I was just curious the positive feedback from most of the people who responded and thank you everybody for that is they said yes, they like a good smelling man. And who wants to have a man smell? Like you know? Yesterday's A man, yeah.
Speaker 3:Men don't smell good Well depends.
Speaker 1:We got hairy pits.
Speaker 3:We work I mean, I mean for For most of us and if you have a bad diet, your pores are just Gonna Like just the excrement and everything else. Just oozing from your pores and everything. It's just You're not. You're not a delight. I don't smell. You need showers daily and you need a little bit of fragrance. I don't care if it's like just a little body powder, you know, like just just even old school, like you know, a little brute aftershave, just something to disguise your manly musk.
Speaker 1:They still make. Yeah, do they still make? Yeah? It's there really, I see the old spice commercial yeah, I saw that dollar general yesterday.
Speaker 3:But even it's like a bay rum or even just like a pinot or whatever, you know just barber, some kind of you know aftershave. You know from from the barber, anything is better than your own mask now for me.
Speaker 1:ladies, if you really want to attract my attention, save money, don't buy the chanel, don't buy the cocoa, don't Just put a little sauce behind your ears or smell like chicken parmesan and I'm hooked, you have me hooked. I'll be yours forever if you smell like a little bit of garlic Okay. A little dab behind the ears.
Speaker 2:That'll work that works.
Speaker 1:But no, that's what I was asking, because I don't know.
Speaker 2:It's a good question because a lot of people have a lot of allergies nowadays, and you know what tripped me on that.
Speaker 1:To ask that question.
Speaker 3:I watched Tommy Boy the other night and Chris Farley put the air freshener on the pine hours and he wore it all over his body, he rubbed it all over his jacket, he rubbed it all over himself.
Speaker 1:And I thought I said do men still wear? Because Men still wear, because you don't want to be overpowering either. And then there's some women that overperfume themselves too, and that's just. I can't take that smell either, because I'm a little. You know me, you're learning, I'm a little delicate. Well, anything overpowering is overpowering. I have a very delicate sinus. Do you yes.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:It's called the Italian schnoz.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:You can smell coffee brewing in Colombia? I can. Oh boy, that's a joke from Roxanne.
Speaker 1:Remember that movie? Yes, that was Steve Martin.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Steve Martin.
Speaker 1:When.
Speaker 3:I wake up, I can smell the coffee in Brazil.
Speaker 1:Do you know what that was? The takeoff of which one? Roxanne Pinocchio? No, I'm kidding which one? Roxanne Pinocchio. No, serogeo Divergiac, oh, serogeo Divergiac. Yeah, yeah, it was a very. I think it was Willie Shakespeare.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:That's what that was taken from. Fascinating Just you know we're going to have to educate the audience just a little bit. Yeah, we have a lot of, I mean at least, with me. I'm like a walk in trivia book. I'll just throw references out there. You either keep up or you don't. So we so yeah. So the whole cologne thing was very interesting.
Speaker 2:And so women for men, they want you to smell nice did they say a preference on the scent, like whether a muskier no?
Speaker 1:I didn't. I didn't see that no one really gave me a scent that they liked.
Speaker 3:They just wanted them to smell nice you know, I give them something to attract their attention I would say now's a good time to ask the audience for a poll. You know I mean comment below if, if you like cologne in general and if you have a, if it's something more bright and floral, you know like an Acqua Di Gio for a guy or something more musky, you know something more like a C14.
Speaker 1:Do they still sell high karate? I'm going to age myself. Do they still have high karate? No, high karate. Do you remember that commercial?
Speaker 2:I've never heard of that oh my gosh Now for us in the over 60 club.
Speaker 1:You will remember those commercials of high karate. Oh yeah, oh, they were classic, funny commercials. Yeah, I mean.

Speaker 1:Oh, that'll be fun as long as there's no copyright infringement.
Speaker 3:I don't want us to get flabbed.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I think the Statue of Limitation might be over on that, because I think the last time a commercial for high karate was like 1978. Yeah it's not like we're.
Speaker 3:You know, it's not like we're exploring something that's going to be again enforced. I don't think there's high karate sitting somewhere in some quiet office and some basement somewhere going contact our attorney. We need a cease and desist.
