1
It's hard for me to remember specific scenes, but of course, Teresa Giudice's table flip,
2
you know, prostitution whore, you know.
3
Prostitution whore!
4
This episode is brought to you by Theraflu.
5
Hey, how you doing?
6
I'm good.
7
How are you?
8
I'm really good.
9
I'm really good.
10
I'm excited about this.
11
This is going to be fun.
12
Yeah, this is something new that might become something permanent.
13
Yeah.
14
Yeah, in the rotation, in the IMO rotation.
15
I know.
16
Tell our listeners what we're about to do.
17
Folks, as we always welcome you to IMO, we're going to do something a little different this time
18
because we get a lot of questions and we really appreciate all the questions that we get from you folks,
19
but some of them aren't necessarily made for our whole show.
20
So we took a bunch of those and put them together and I have them here.
21
And I thought it'd be a good idea for you and I to try and go through some of these, which are, there's a whole gamut of these.
22
Yeah, well, this is more of the Michelle and Craig portion of IMO with Michelle and Craig.
23
So it's just us.
24
No guests.
25
It's just Michelle and Craig.
26
So we can do whatever we want.
27
Okay.
28
Woo, let's go.
29
Let's kick it off.
30
First question.
31
Okay.
32
What is one thing you've learned about the other from doing the podcast and working together?
33
Oh, do you want to go first?
34
I will go first.
35
Okay.
36
What I've learned is that you tried to get your ears pierced and thought I didn't notice.
37
And I see you got all these new piercings in your ear.
38
Yeah, yeah.
39
And it looks pretty good.
40
I don't think you noticed.
41
I did notice.
42
So we have been having a fight this whole session about whether or not I noticed it.
43
And I noticed it, but we were in the midst of a show.
44
And I noticed it like this.
45
We were sitting like this.
46
Yeah, but we're together all the time.
47
I mean, you know, it's not like we are just, we walk in, we sit in a show.
48
I mean, I've been, we sit in the hole.
49
We had lunch together.
50
It was days.
51
It was days of being together.
52
It wasn't days.
53
I saw it.
54
I just went, I said, ooh, I saw that.
55
But when I saw it, we were in the midst of a show.
56
So I didn't think to comment on it until I saw it again.
57
But until you mentioned that I'm waiting for the men in my life to notice.
58
And I was like, what is she talking about?
59
Well, anyway, just to let you guys know what happened is
60
that I have always thought about getting some extra piercings in my ear and just never got around to it.
61
I had a second hole that I had got like before I had kids
62
but then I just got lazy and stopped putting an earring in it.
63
But nowadays, the young people in my life are doing more piercings.
64
They're just more beautiful and dormant.
65
You see there's more of a cluster, the constellation sort of look of twinkles.
66
What is it, five?
67
Yeah, that's five.
68
Yeah, I got.
69
So I was going in for a few and then I did my normal self and was like, oh, put one there and put one there.
70
Oh, yeah, man, let's try one there
71
so i in one sitting i got 10 piercings
72
so ouch it actually was not that that there wasn't
73
that painful i well that's not for me it's really do
74
you like beautiful i like it i like it it is it
75
if i want our listeners to you know let us know what they think
76
if if i didn't like it you know i would say i know
77
so that's the big thing barack finally noticed took him a couple of days and he And he was like, you haven't had your hair up.
78
You've had your hair down.
79
And I was like, I don't know.
80
I like to sleep with you every night, dude.
81
You know? But he noticed yesterday.
82
Okay.
83
And I got them done like four days ago.
84
So don't tell him that I noticed before him.
85
I think I did.
86
You did.
87
Ouch.
88
Anyway.
89
But the more serious thing that I learned from doing this show with you is
90
that you and I grew up in the exact same house with the exact same parents,
91
but our memories can be vastly different at times.
92
But our experiences have been different too.
93
I was commenting to our producers earlier how dad would take me
94
and do stuff that he wouldn't take you and do stuff.
95
So I'm sure that's no surprise to anybody.
96
And there were conversations that I had with mom that apparently I thought she was having with you.
97
Like how she thought about leaving dead every spring.
98
Oh, she, and, and, you know, given.
99
You should probably know your little heart probably couldn't take that.
100
I would have been worried.
101
I would have been worried about that every year.
102
It's like, oh my God, it's spring.
103
Oh, shoot.
104
Well, it has been fun working with you.
105
Oh, man, this has been a joy.
106
You are, you know, you're, I didn't, it's not something I didn't know.
107
You're very professional.
108
You're very prepared.
109
You're a great partner to have.
110
You take everything you do seriously.
111
But I kind of knew that about you.
112
But it's fun to have a partner that shows up in the same way.
113
It is.
114
It is.
115
Everybody knows how diligent you are.
116
So I have to keep the bar high for myself.
117
You're doing a good job.
118
All right.
119
Next question.
120
When is the last time you cried?
121
Oh, this is easy.
122
I watched Hamnet.
123
Okay.
124
Hamnet, this is my, you never watch movies.
125
Because you're too busy on social media.
126
No, I watch movies, but I haven't watched Hamnet.
127
But Hamnet is a, the story of Shakespeare,
128
his early life, his family life, his relationship.
129
So it's a period piece, obviously.
130
And you learn about his son, Hamnet.
131
He had three children, two daughters and one son.
132
And he lost his son.
133
And it talked about how, it explained how that loss,
134
his relationship, helped fuel some of his greatest work.
135
Chloe Zhao is the director, just beautifully directed.
136
and it's just touching and powerful and the ending, which I will not give it away,
137
but it's a 10 minute ending and there are no words.
138
It's the end of, what was it, Hamlet?
139
The first time his wife saw his work after she was kind of upset with him for, you know, she kind of realized that through this all,
140
I'm alone and yes, you bought us a beautiful home but I've been here alone dealing with this.
141
So she was angry, but she had never taken the time to see what he had given up so much of his family time to do.
142
And it was her watching a scene in Hamlet
143
that she could see where it was about their son and the pain that he was working through,
144
through his art.
145
And it was just beautifully, beautifully done.
146
And I don't like to choke up.
147
And you know how you're trying to hold back tears.
148
It was so emotional.
149
I couldn't.
150
I mean, I literally was sobbing.
151
And I rarely do that in a film.
152
But just we watched that the other day.
153
Beautiful.
154
Hamnet.
155
Okay.
156
I'm a buyer.
157
Has anybody seen it?
158
Did you all feel the same way I felt about it?
159
I mean, all of the actors, the children, amazing, amazing.
160
It deserves to be in the running.
161
It's a beautiful, beautiful film.
162
Oh, neat, neat.
163
Anyway, that was a long one.
164
Yeah, that was a long one.
165
That's okay.
166
That's all right.
167
Mine won't be as long.
168
I should get paid by the hand it people.
169
You got, I mean.
170
I think I did some Oscar work for them.
171
I'll go watch it.
172
So as you all know, we have been cranking these shows out.
173
So my preparation is always ongoing.
174
And we just had Suleika Juad and John Batiste on.
175
And in preparation for them coming on, not only did I read Suleika's book,
176
which was a tearjerker, but I watched American Symphony for the first time.
177
A higher ground production.
178
A higher ground production that I recommended for everyone.
179
But let me tell you, I was bawling almost, it wasn't quite the beginning, but early on.
180
And let me tell you, it's a little different than bawling over great writing or great acting.
181
It was the combination of their story together, which is a love story.
182
and his music.
183
His music touched me in a way that when I met him, I almost started crying.
184
Yeah.
185
And he felt that.
186
Yeah.
187
But it's, you know, there are some movies like the, you wouldn't know this, but the opening of Gladiator.
188
Yeah, not a big gladiator.
189
It's a guy's movie and the music adds to it.
190
It's like, I wasn't expecting that.
191
The music adds to it.
192
This was the same effect in a emotional way for me.
193
So that was the last time.
194
Stay tuned for the episode with Suleika and John.
195
It's a beautiful episode.
196
Okay, next one.
197
This is going to take a severe C-turn here.
198
Okay, I love a turn.
199
My partner has expressed a desire to open up our relationship.
200
I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this.
201
But I can tell he isn't very happy or satisfied with the way things are going.
202
What should I do?
203
Get out.
204
Run.
205
Look, I just, I wouldn't do it.
206
Not something, I don't, I don't, I know that there is a polygamy culture.
207
polyamorous.
208
That's what it's called.
209
Not my cup of tea.
210
Yeah, we old.
211
We old.
212
It's hard.
213
Again, say not my cup of tea.
214
And I'm going to say, if you weren't into it before and want it now,
215
that is a real no-go for me.
216
Now, if you met that way or you have been polyamorous prior and you're thinking, okay, this might work for us,
217
then we can have another conversation.
218
But if you guys went into this and it's supposed to be a monogamous relationship,
219
your typical partnership, and now one person wants to change up the details.
220
Sounds a little fishy.
221
It does sound fishy.
222
Sounds a little fishy.
223
Look, and for the questioner, don't talk yourself into something like that that you are not into.
224
There's a reason you're not into it.
225
And that's not the kind of compromise in a marriage that you get used to and adjust to.
226
If you're unsure about it, it's probably because it's not something that you want.
227
And if your partner is unhappy, explore that first.
228
Like if you Don't do that to keep your partner.
229
Don't make that kind of accommodation in your relationship because you think it's broken.
230
Deal with what, if it's broken, figure it out.
231
And it's not because there aren't enough people in the relationship.
232
I can't think that that's ever, the root of the problem is that we need more emotions thrown into the mix.
233
You know, I never talked to dad about anything like this, but I could imagine him saying,
234
don't make a communication problem into an intimacy problem.
235
Do you think he will?
236
That's deep.
237
I think he would say something like that.
238
Like, dad, dad, way to go.
239
I think he would.
240
I think he would.
241
So we're not into it, and we don't recommend that you get into it, especially because you're not into it.
242
Right.
243
Right.
244
We played a summer tournament about two hours away.
245
And as I think back, I wish we had considered staying in an Airbnb home instead of staying at a hotel.
246
We would have had an opportunity to eat together, watch film together, as well as control the curfew of a bunch of 13-year-old boys.
247
I also think that it would have given our parents a break from their children. As you can imagine,
248
coming together as a team outside of the game is as important as what you do on the court.
249
And having the ability to hang out together at an Airbnb would have given us that extra opportunity to bond.
250
And if you're thinking about the big tournaments that come into your town, now is a great time to think about hosting fellow fans and players during the season.
251
February is the month we all start romanticizing a little.
252
Our routines, our goals, even those ideas we can't stop thinking about.
253
And if you've got one of those ideas, Shopify is the best place to bring it to life bigger.
254
Shopify makes the first step simple.
255
Whether it's a side hustle or a full storefront, Shopify takes the guesswork out of starting something new.
256
Everything's in one place, easy to manage, even if it's just you.
257
Their themes, their tools, even their AI, Shopify Sidekick.
258
It all helps you save time and stay focused on what matters.
259
So think about it.
260
What's that idea you keep coming back to?
261
And what would it look like to finally build it?
262
So if you're ready to build your own empire, whether it's merch, products, or the next best idea,
263
Get on Shopify.com slash IMO and make it happen today.
264
All right, next one.
265
How do I combat FOMO?
266
I was thinking about explaining what FOMO is.
267
I think everybody knows what FOMO is.
268
But I paused.
269
It's not Hamnet.
270
I paused.
271
We are in the- I did pause because I was going to say, And for those of you who don't know what FOMO is, and then I was going to say, but you're right.
272
Everybody knows what FOMO is.
273
I'm broke and I barely see my friends anymore because they always go out for dinner, get coffees or go on vacations together,
274
generally doing things I can't afford to do right now.
275
How do I combat my FOMO or how do I get my friends to do broke things with me?
276
Plan some broke things.
277
Yeah.
278
And invite your friends.
279
I mean, look, yeah, if you can't afford to do what they do, I'm sure that that is hurtful and you feel a little left out, right?
280
But your financial position is what it is.
281
But there's so many more ways to have fun.
282
The question that I have is, are they not a planner?
283
Are they just somebody who is waiting to be invited in?
284
It's like, look, if you're not invited to a party, then have your own.
285
Make your own.
286
Invite your friends to a picnic.
287
Do invite people over to your, if you're broke, to your small ass apartment.
288
And make it a potluck, right?
289
You know.
290
If they're your true friends, they would love to do something broke with you.
291
So my first thing would be make sure that they're your real friends because,
292
you know, my wealthy friends will include me in stuff and will be happy to come and do my kind of stuff.
293
Yeah.
294
And that's how it should be.
295
Your real friends don't, it's not about what you're doing or how much you're spending.
296
It's being together with people who you enjoy to be around.
297
So what you're saying is they may not be your friends.
298
It's what I'm saying.
299
That's what I'm saying.
300
Okay.
301
Okay.
302
What is something you're curious about right now that would surprise people?
303
Gosh, I tell so much about my life.
304
I don't know if anything would surprise people.
305
What am I curious about?
306
It's not that I'm curious about, but that I really enjoy given how, you know, sort of snarky I can be about sports.
307
Snarky is a nice word.
308
I do enjoy sports.
309
I really do.
310
I know football.
311
I know basketball.
312
I know the game.
313
I've grown up with it.
314
If I'm sitting there watching it, I definitely do find myself drawn into it, analyzing, well, why they do that and what's going on here.
315
So I can get into it.
316
But what I'm really into are the sports documentaries of any kind.
317
I mean, I love the story of an athlete rise, fall, journey.
318
And I tend to watch all of it.
319
And I'm going to get the Netflix stuff on tennis and our work that we did starting five.
320
I watch all of that.
321
If that comes up, if something good comes up in sports.
322
So you'd be surprised that I'm into it in sports too.
323
But I'm into it and just watched on Apple a documentary about, and that was old, Sidney Poitier.
324
I love just running.
325
I've gone down all the lists of television, bios, and I just love the story of a person's life.
326
But I'm particularly interested in the story of an athlete's life
327
and the work that goes into it in their psychology and how they get through a season.
328
I'm fascinated by that.
329
That is a surprise.
330
Yeah.
331
That is a surprise.
332
So I did it.
333
Yes, you did.
334
What about you?
335
So I think most people now know.
336
He likes fashion.
337
That's so funny.
338
That would be funny if I said fashion.
339
He watches the spring shows in Paris.
340
I think people are well aware that, because I've said this a lot.
341
And now that we do this show, I probably talked about this a lot, about how much of a race fan I am because I wanted to be a race car driver.
342
Another thing, you wanted to be a pilot and an astronaut.
343
You wanted to do all the stuff that you can't do.
344
You grew out of your dreams.
345
I grew out of my dreams.
346
And my legs just got too long for the cockpit.
347
They got too long for the driver's seat.
348
But I am a, people don't know that I'm a huge Formula One fan.
349
And I just found that out a couple of years ago.
350
That was funny when you found out and you were
351
so kind to treat Kelly and me on one of my birthdays to a trip down to Miami.
352
It was the first Formula One they did in Miami.
353
Because a dear friend of ours, Melody Hobson, is friends with both of us, and George Lucas.
354
Love you guys.
355
True Blue, Melody is a Princetonite, but George Lucas is a huge Formula One fan.
356
And Melody invited me, and I don't know anything about Formula One.
357
But then I heard that you were into it.
358
I was like, let me go for you, right?
359
Yes, you did.
360
You did, because you had no idea what was going on i did not
361
and it was such a scene too it was a scene it's a it's a scene
362
but once after we got through all the scene part
363
and we were watching the race you were interested in trying
364
to figure out well like it's a sport it's a sport you were like
365
so why what's this and that so
366
that was really fun to see you be open to yeah
367
and you knew everything about it it's a complicated sport to watch.
368
It's a difficult one to watch because there's the qualifying.
369
And what does that mean?
370
And what does that mean for your time?
371
And then I didn't realize it was like the tire rotation thing.
372
And how many times you visit the pit, you know?
373
And what's the penalty?
374
You were explaining all this stuff.
375
Yeah, there were some time penalties for infractions and things.
376
And yeah, Yeah, but that was a bucket list day for me.
377
But most people do not know that I'm an F1 fan.
378
You got to walk down in the...
379
Oh, we were in the paddock.
380
We got to sit in...
381
Yeah, that's what it's called.
382
The paddock.
383
The paddock.
384
We got to sit in the paddock
385
and we got to sit in the seats that are in the paddock
386
and listen to the engineers talking to the racers and hear what's actually going on,
387
which you and Kelly had no idea, but I was enthralled.
388
Well, it was good having you there because you were like our little mentor on the side.
389
Yeah, it was really neat, really neat.
390
So, all right, good question.
391
All right, now this one's just for you.
392
No. You can imagine what it is.
393
No. What is one of your favorite scenes from any Bravo Real Housewives franchise?
394
Yeah, that's right.
395
But you, in all this time, have you not looked at any?
396
I'm going to do it because you recommended it to me.
397
Which series are you going to?
398
But there's a new one coming out called The Real Housewives of Rhode Island.
399
And since I lived there, I was going to watch that one.
400
Don't start with a new one.
401
No. Don't start with that.
402
Well, then I'm jumping in and I won't know the story.
403
Well, then you have to do two.
404
because it takes some time for the relationships to cultivate, right?
405
And, you know, we don't know whether the new ones are going to make it, right?
406
We don't know.
407
I mean, I wish you all well, but we don't know y'all yet.
408
You know, they may not be interesting.
409
I want you to dive into, you know, one where— One that you know is good.
410
Yeah.
411
Okay, I get that.
412
I get that.
413
All right.
414
But scenes that stand out, you know, I mean, And it's hard for me to remember specific scenes.
415
But of course, Teresa Giudice's table flip, you know, prostitution whore, you know.
416
Prostitution whore!
417
She flipped the table.
418
It's a lot of them involved.
419
And was stuff on the table?
420
Oh, it was at a nice dinner.
421
There were wine and tablecloths.
422
And these are the Real Housewives of New Jersey.
423
So is that one you recommend?
424
Because it said the follow up question here says, what's your recommendation for the best Housewives franchise to get new viewers into?
425
New Jersey is going through some stuff right now.
426
Because it wasn't even clear that they were going to film together.
427
Well, because Teresa Giudice and her brother Joe are central, but they haven't been getting along.
428
And it got ugly.
429
There's a brother-sister situation.
430
Yeah, they're brother-sisters and they're, you know.
431
And their spouses are on there.
432
Yeah.
433
Yeah.
434
Yeah.
435
But I think they are filming.
436
It's a good one.
437
Okay.
438
Because the Jersey folks don't play um uh so
439
so that's there are a couple of ones from Teresa who was one of the housewives
440
that actually went to jail um like she served time
441
because her first husband um got them into tax trouble
442
so they both went to jail really
443
and the first husband is not allowed back in the country
444
and they have kids they have five five four or five beautiful girls so we saw all this is not faked.
445
No, no. She went to jail.
446
She went to jail and they had her on the show.
447
They showed her going to jail.
448
Yeah, and then when she got out and then she came back on the show.
449
Oh my gosh.
450
That's a journey.
451
That's what I'm saying.
452
Go to New Jersey.
453
Okay.
454
But you gotta start.
455
Pick a season that you can start maybe right around the time she's about to go to jail.
456
Okay.
457
Would be a good one.
458
But Teresa's a pill.
459
And there was one time in the reunion when she like almost knocked out Andy Cohen.
460
Fist fight?
461
She was going after another housewife and he was trying to stop her.
462
This is the host.
463
She takes one arm and just pushes him out of way.
464
These are little ladies, but she's strong.
465
I love that one.
466
That was another one.
467
Okay.
468
Alright.
469
Back to reality.
470
That's something, you know, we're going to have to do another one.
471
And by the next time we do a mailbag, you will have to have seen one.
472
I'll have to seen one.
473
And then we can talk about it.
474
All right, Aaron, you're in charge. Does Kelly watch any?
475
Well, yes.
476
I told you.
477
Oh, well then watch with her.
478
Do watch the one that she, this is a good couple's activity.
479
The women in my family, all of them are smart, intelligent.
480
This isn't about smart and intelligent.
481
This is about Leslie, Juice.
482
This is about Elena, they all watch this.
483
We all like, mm, tea.
484
Other people's tea.
485
Okay, all right.

This episode of IMO is brought to you by Theraflu.
487
Theraflu, makers of fast-acting cold and flu relief, believes everyone deserves the right to rest and recover when they're sick,
488
no matter where they live or how much money they make.
489
As part of our partnership with Theraflu, we've been asking for listener stories about what it's like to balance caregiving and taking time off when you're sick.
490
And it's been eye-opening to hear about the struggle
491
that caregivers in particular have when it comes to choosing between taking time off when sick and putting food on the table.
492
The health policy organization, KFF, reported that about half of working parents lose pay when they miss work to care for sick kids.
493
In 2021, Theraflu launched the Rest and Recover Fund,
494
and they've committed more than $1 million to provide microgrants to families and individuals,
495
helping offset the cost of taking a sick day for those who don't have coverage.

521
All right, here's the next question.
522
I like this one.
523
I've been seeing this guy for a year.
524
His lease is ending, and he asked if he could move in with me.
525
I have a spare room.
526
He can only contribute $500 to the monthly rent, while I can cover the rest on my end.
527
But my question for you is, How do you deal with an early relationship with uneven financial footing?
528
I know what your answer is going to be.
529
Well, no. I mean, I think an early relationship with uneven financial footing, you know, you probably have to split more.
530
I mean, I don't think that it's necessary for two people to be financial equals to build a relationship.
531
building a relationship and dating, but moving in period.
532
If it's early in the relationship, you shouldn't be moving in.
533
First of all, I don't care how much money he has or doesn't have, you don't know him yet, right?
534
Let alone a new person in your life that you've just met
535
that is now going to be living in a room that you have.
536
What happens if, what are you going to do
537
When you find out that he lied about something
538
or you find out that he is different from who you thought he is and now he's a subletter, you know?
539
Now you have a contract with him.
540
Why on earth would anybody think to do that early in a relationship?
541
You know, wait, wait a couple of years.
542
I'm not, you know, I'm not even gonna speak to whether the male in the relationship should be contributing more.
543
This to me is about, you don't do anything that serious in an early part of a relationship.
544
I, maybe this will be controversial, but I don't, I think you can have like,
545
deep like at first sight.
546
But love to me, in most instances, because there are always exceptions,
547
it takes time to fully have somebody reveal themselves to you over time to know whether
548
or not your affections and your feelings stand the test of time.
549
There's so many tests you need in a relationship.
550
Have you ever traveled together?
551
Traveling together and not just traveling to grandma's house, doing a tough trip, like go abroad,
552
use passports, be in a place where there is another language and things aren't comfortable.
553
How do you all resolve those issues?
554
I'm always like, you always want to see how your partner's home life is.
555
Go to Thanksgiving dinner.
556
See how people relate to their families.
557
Do they have a relationship?
558
What are some of the sticking points?
559
If you meet somebody in January, you miss the holidays.
560
So you've got to wait another.
561
You want to get to a holiday where you see people's families, right?
562
I mean, I just think that time reveals so much.
563
Of course, there are exceptions.
564
There are plenty of people that I know who have great relationships where I met them month one, we were engaged.
565
Month three, we've been married for 20 years.
566
That happens for sure.
567
But my recommendation is always take some time.
568
Make moving in like way down the line.
569
And if he's that broke, that if you're saying he's moving in with you because he can't afford to live anywhere else,
570
I would definitely stay clear of that.
571
Like, don't come to the rescue because I'd want to know, how did you get in a position where you can't afford rent?
572
I just want to know.
573
I just want to see your bank statements.
574
Yeah, right, right.
575
What do you think?
576
There's not much I would say differently.
577
I will say that I don't think that your take is controversial.
578
I think most people realize that it's hard to have love at first sight.
579
It's just, you know, I don't know too many.
580
I'm trying to think of the people in my life who said
581
that they met their partner and knew right away that it was going to be a long-term situation.
582
I have met people like that, but it's not the norm.
583
It's not the norm.
584
It's not the norm.
585
So I don't think it's controversial.
586
And I think the important thing to peel back what you said is there's no need to hurry to move in together,
587
especially if you're adults, right?
588
There's absolutely no hurry.
589
Take the time to get to know the person and certainly don't move in together.
590
This is like a shotgun move in together mm-hmm it's like
591
i'm about to get i'm about to get kicked out can
592
you help brother out yeah no i can't yeah i cannot
593
yeah all right that's easy all right this one's just for you oh another one
594
and you can say are there some that are just for you well no
595
because you're the iconic one of the pair and folks that's not what the word on the street is
596
so what's a white house secret you've never told which doesn't make sense because then it would be I mean,
597
I've told everything, all the secrets that I can tell.
598
You have told already.
599
Pick up one of my books, they're in there.
600
And anything I haven't told you, I can't.
601
There's a reason.
602
That's right.
603
That is correct.
604
National security.
605
This one is, you know, I laughed when I saw this question, which I shouldn't have said because I might offend somebody.
606
But here we go.
607
I just found out through Instagram that my ex is dating a far right conservative.
608
For context, we are both women.
609
When I DMed her about it, she blocked me.
610
Have you lost friends to politics before?
611
And how do you feel with close friends having such drastic ideological changes?
612
Well, you know, I mean, we're the Obamas.
613
I think all our friends are pretty clear on, you know, what they're entering into when they,
614
you know, endeavor to have a friendship.
615
But before we were the,
616
I can say that, there has been an instance where I've felt that,
617
because my husband was in politics, I felt that some people that I respected were not supportive.
618
Not in a like, I'm going to vote for him, but I'm going to work against him.
619
I'm kind of, I don't play when it comes to my husband.
620
So there's only been a handful of instances where I've dropped a friend because I didn't trust them around this issue.
621
Or I was like, if you're not with him, then you're not with me.
622
But it's been rare.
623
It's been very rare.
624
And I think it's hard for us not to know our friends' political stances because of who we are.
625
It's also hard not to know because they're your friends.
626
And if they're your friends, you know what their political leanings are.
627
Sometimes people just don't want to talk about politics.
628
Not my friends.
629
See, this is an easy one for me.
630
I haven't lost any friends because they're my friends.
631
Right?
632
Yeah.
633
You shouldn't be losing friends over political ideology.
634
Today, people are struggling within families because of different views.
635
I think politics is more divisive now in ways that it wasn't the case when we were coming up.
636
So I do think more people are probably confronted with this issue.
637
Um, it's a, all I can say it's, it's, it's a difficult position to be in,
638
especially when, you know, it is hard not to see certain positions as contrary to some fundamental things that you believe in.
639
And it, it, it can get tough.
640
Um, but I haven't, you know, I haven't had to deal with that.
641
And what I would tell the questioner, try to stay open and have some communication
642
because there was something in your partner that you saw before politics got in the way.
643
And people grow and change.
644
So if you were really into and cared about this person,
645
I would urge you all to maybe seek some counseling to find a way to have a mediated conversation.
646
Maybe you have to draw some lines in the sand and just say, we love each other, but we can't go here.
647
I wouldn't throw out the baby with the bathwater because political ideologies change.
648
I'm not sure how old they are.
649
If they're young, people can be playing around in a space.
650
They could be exploring different beliefs.
651
I would say try to work on some line of communication.
652
And you might need a third party person to help you do it.
653
If you think the relationship was worth it before the political divide happened or you were aware of it.
654
Right.
655
Right.
656
As in most relationship questions, communication is key.
657
Try it out.
658
Try it.
659
We have one more question from our listener who is here in studio with us.
660
It will be Crystal from Alaska.
661
How can I, as a single woman, talk to my friends about not being able to contribute to bachelorette parties and baby showers?
662
I'm building a financial future for myself that might rely solely on me and I need to hunker down.
663
Asking for a friend.
664
There is sort of the expectations of weddings has exploded since you and I got married.
665
Okay.
666
Right?
667
I mean, when we were coming up, you got engaged on your own.
668
Your fiance came, asked.
669
It was an intimate experience.
670
there was generally not an engagement party.
671
No, I've never been to an engagement party.
672
We've never been to an engagement party any time in our life when we were broken,
673
when we were with even a higher class of people who had resources.
674
Our peers who were all professionals and bankers and lawyers, this never happened, never went to an engagement party,
675
never went on a pre-engagement trip.
676
You know, never.
677
So now the expectation is that everybody flies in.
678
So the engagement becomes an event in itself where friends are
679
expected to fly in after the engagement to then celebrate the couple after they've been engaged.
680
So that's an ask.
681
And then there's the bachelorette party or the bachelor party, which oftentimes is a destination place.
682
So now your friend got married.
683
Now, not only were you expected to fly, and sometimes you're flying to Paris for their engagement because they wanted to get, they're from the South Side of Chicago,
684
but they've dreamt of getting engaged in front of the Eiffel Tower.
685
And now they want you to join in.
686
And the bachelor party is like that.
687
The bachelor party is like that.
688
And this is before you get to the wedding, which a lot of times this day and age, people are having these destination weddings.
689
I'm from the south side of Chicago, but we're going to get married on the Amalfi Coast.
690
And you're in it and you have to fly there.
691
This is what this caller is talking about.
692
In order to participate and celebrate your friends, just imagine you're at the stage where you have five friends getting married in one year.
693
And it's early in your career your career you're right we're not talking about people in their 40s right
694
so and so what i'm finding is
695
that the young people in my life are spending
696
so much of their early wealth on attending other being involved
697
in each other's weddings i've talked to people of in their 20s who've they've got like 10 weddings that's their
698
and they're traveling to all of them so it's a plane ticket, it's hotel, not to mention what you're wearing.
699
This is if you're not in the wedding party.
700
I just think that in this culture, what I would say to young people is count.
701
Really, it's like what I say about college.
702
If you can't afford to do it, then you really have to know how much it costs.
703
You have to know how much money you're spending, what those loans are going to mean that you're taking out, what those payments are going to do to you,
704
what that means at the tail end of your experience, so that at the end of it, you don't wind up with nothing or surprise that you don't have wealth.
705
I mean, if you're going to that many weddings, I can tell you, I've heard young people say they're spending eight, $10,000 a year going to other people's weddings.
706
What I will say is that is the beginning of a down payment on a home.
707
That is the beginning of a down payment if you decide to have kids, of putting your kids in college.
708
And I'm not saying that people can't have the wedding that they want,
709
but what I advise young people is you better really think about what you can afford
710
and set a budget for yourself that you can afford.
711
And then you have to talk to your friends.
712
Now we're on the broke part.
713
You should tell your friends, I love you.
714
I am happy for you.
715
I can't afford it.
716
And I'm going to be able to afford to do three things this year.
717
Because once you do that, now you don't have your vacation.
718
This is your vacation.
719
This is your trip to visit your family.
720
You're compounding all of this.
721
I would strongly urge young people to count, to really understand the financial expense that they're making.
722
And if you can afford to do it, and this is how you want to spend your money, Of course, have at it.
723
It's wonderful to support your friends in weddings.
724
Maybe you'll find the love of your life at somebody's wedding.
725
You don't want to miss out.
726
That's the FOMO part of it.
727
But to do it blindly, to do it and then look up in 10 years and go, I don't have any savings because I've been a 10.
728
And then that means that friends have to understand.
729
I hate to beat a dead horse, but I am going to because it all goes back to,
730
You know, my really good friends would either have a wedding that people, that their friends could attend,
731
or they would understand that their friends couldn't attend because it was going to be too expensive for them.
732
So I'm in total agreement with you.
733
I just didn't realize that it had gotten to the point of this nuclear explosion of folks having these big destination weddings.
734
Barack and I, we had a big wedding.
735
It was 300 and something people.
736
But we did it in Chicago.
737
We did it in a venue.
738
We got a local caterer.
739
We didn't have a wedding coordinator.
740
We didn't have a, and it still cost a lot of money.
741
Now we, and a lot for the time, it was $12,000, which felt like a lot.
742
It was a lot for us starting out.
743
But even looking back, we were glad we did it because our families were from, you know, Barack's family lived in Hawaii.
744
There wasn't sort of a regular way for our families to get together.
745
It felt good to have all of our friends from all parts of our lives come together
746
and they meet each other and they stayed friends with each other.
747
That was all good.
748
But it wasn't the venue or the flowers or the, you know, any of the things we spent money on that made it special.
749
And I probably didn't know that then because I was young and,
750
you know, you dream of your wedding and I would have spent less, you know.
751
But it's easy to say in hindsight, right?
752
So I get, you know, you have this dream wedding and, you know, we have the resources.
753
I would want to help Malia and Sasha have the weddings that they wanted,
754
but I would definitely be talking to them about the burden some of their choices would have on their friends.
755
You have to sort of talk about that up front and figure out what that means and what they want.
756
And I'd also offer money over the cost of a wedding.
757
Yeah, I know.
758
That's your M.O.
759
You want the wedding or you want the check?
760
Let's make a deal.
761
Do you want the box?
762
What's behind door number three?
763
Or do you want to take what's in the box?
764
That's my sister.
765
That's great.
766
My sister's MO.
767
What?
768
Do you want the box or do you want the curtain?
769
Most people take the curtain.
770
Well, that does it for our mailbag, our first attempt.
771
If the listeners like it, we'll do more of it.
772
Let us know because we'll do more of this.
773
This was really fun.
774
Yeah.
775
And we're in no shortage of opinions on IMO.
776
Thank you.
