The husbands know best a too cheese production.

All right, So because it's wedding season, it's time to talk a little bit about what the guys think about, you know, weddings and anniversaries. And you know, we talked about my televice proposal and wedding experience with my wife on TV, which is an amazing experience. And we touched a little bit about you getting married in Paris. But I'd like to learn a little bit more about your journey to Paris and did you ask John for permission to get married for her hand? And how did you propose to her? And what was tell me all about the wedding in Paris. That sounds like an amazing experience. Yeah, But the funny thing is I was always afraid of getting married. That was actually one of my biggest fears. And it was because at least sixty or seventy percent of my friends that got married were getting a divorce, right, and I was just trying to.

In my head, maybe I'd get married at like forty five or something like that. Anyway, Teddy and I get pretty serious, and you know, the talk comes up of should we get married, should we not? And I remember thinking to myself at the time. I told Teddy, I'm like, look, I do want to get married, but like I take care of my entire family, like I've been taking care of my family since I was fifteen. I'm like, what if you wake up five years from now and you don't want to be married to me? Like now, I got to give you half my stuff, And I said, I don't have John Mellencamp money yet. And you know, John could afford to get divorced for three, three four different times. I'm like, I can't if I get divorced one time, I'm losing half my stuff. I got to take care of my mom. Blah blah blah. So she's like, I don't care about your money, and I'm like, all right, answer, And so that put me a little more at peace, and she's just like, don't touch my money. It's like, mho, we got we got a deal. But I was still freaking out, and I remember going back and forth and finally I told her, look, I can't marry. I'm just I can't. And you know, I remember it was a tough night that night because she cried. I cried, I'm just like I can't do it. And the next day I'm driving and I thought to myself, what am I so scared of? Like I've always been sort of a risk taker, and why am I so afraid on this? And I already know I want to marry her? Like what am I trying to? Why am I waiting? And there was this start in my head though that was like, Okay, well maybe if I buy the rank, I could buy myself some time and you know, maybe we'll get married two years after. But screw it, I'm by the ranks. I went, I bought the ring and I called John and I just basically said, hey, John, I want to marry your daughter and I think she's the best thing that's ever happened to me, and I'm going to take care of her and you got my word that I'm going to be the best husband possible. And he was he was like, yeah, you know, I if that's what you guys want to do. I fully supported, and then I ended up proposing to her. I bought her a nice, I think Gucci jacket, and I put the ring in the jacket and I proposed in front of my entire family when we were living out in Woodland Hills. It's a special moment. But then then we don't have a date. Right in my head, I'm thinking the date's going to be two years later, right, And that buys me a little time again because I'm just it was a me thing. It wasn't a Teddy thing.

I was just scared, right.

And then of course we go around and you know, everybody's congratulating us on the engagement, but what do you think? The first question is when you get engaged, when's doa any and our answer was we don't know. So then Teddy's like, you know, I feel really stupid that we don't have a date. I'm like, oh, here we go, so we still don't have a date. Anyway. Six months later, we're about to her dad's going on a tour in Europe, and Teddy's like, you know what, why don't we get married in Paris. My dad's going to be touring, it's fourth to July is going to be in Paris. We can just get married fourth to July. And then my dream was always if I ever did have a wedding, I'd have it. I'd have what do you call those weddings when you fly out and get away wedding and where, yeah, where, It's just a few of us, and I don't have to worry about who I invited, who I didn't invite. I just kind of wanted to do it quick. You have twenty close people. And that's exactly what ended up happening. And we took off to Paris, but two weeks prior to leaving. I mean, this is how freaked out I was. I wake up in the middle of the night and I can't move my entire left side of my body, like I'm thinking I'm having it and I'm probably in one of the best shapes in my life. And it must have been at least a minute to two minutes. I couldn't move the entire left side of my body, and I felt like I was having a heart attack. And I remember saying, like, God, don't let me go out like this. And I'm trying to wake up Teddy, but I can't talk. It's just it's weird. I can't move, so I go to the hospital. I spent the entire day in that hospital. I had to wear a heart monitor for an entire week just to find out what was wrong. With my heart because my whole left arm went numb. Well it was eight days. So I did that for an entire week, and it turns out I had a panic attack. I've never I've never had that in my life, and I've dealt with a lot of stressful situations. By the way, that's never ever happened to me, and God will it will never happen to me again. But that's how freaked out I was. And Teddy's like, maybe we shouldn't fled, Like, no, we're going to get married. So then cut to we're in Paris and we're having a great time. We're about to get married, and you know the part, I can't make this up. I put this on everything. I had, put my alarm back then I used to wake up at six am. Well six am is two pm in Paris, right, so we're about to get married. We walk out and the eye blah blah blah. It's really nice. We were on top of some roof at some hotel and so we're looking the Eiffel Tower. So we took these beautiful pictures. I got to fly out my family, so my siblings, my mom came out. They'd never been Europe, so it was just perfect right. And who organized it all? I mean Eddy ed he found someone in Paris and they did just a great job just organizing the entire thing. It's funny my mom, who doesn't speak Spanish, I mean doesn't speak English. My mama doesn't speak a lick of English, is hanging out with Meg Ryan and they're talking. My sister's like hanging out with her. I remember, I remember we used to watch your movies and like, oh, shoot, now my mom's talking to Meg Ryan. I'm like, that's that's pretty cool, right. Anyway, you know the part when you're getting married and they say, if anybody of Jack's or whatever that's whatever that phrase is, I kid you not. As he's saying that, myles, I'm about to start crying, and I'm like, I did not want to cry at my wedding, but I'm feeling I'm like, damn, I'm gonna start crying like crazy right now. And he says, does anybody of Jack blah blah blah. My alarm goes off and in my head, I'm thinking, is this guy telling me not to get married? So there's this picture of Teddy and I and we're just dying of like, we just started immediately laughing because when my alarm went off, John's like, you gotta be shitting mate, We just started laughing. Anyway, we end up getting married and we had a blast. My family had a blast. Some of the best pictures we've ever taken were there and it's a special moment.

How many people were there?

Twenty of us, so it was Teddy's immediate family and then it was my immediate family, so there's probably eighteen twenty people there. And then our honeymoon was basically going around with John all over Europe while he was touring.

How long was that?

It's probably a good ten day. So when we went to Germany, we went to Milan, we went to Florin, we went to England. Where else should we go? We went to a bunch of places where he was touring. It was cool because everywhere we went we got the red carpet treatment.

So wow, what is awesome experience? Yeah, yep, but.

Art monitor and my alarm went off, and it's worked out so far. It's gonna be fifteenth. This will be our fifteenth year together and it's thirteen years married in our anniversaries fourth of July, so it's kind of hard to forget that one. Yeah.

Yeah, So you get to celebrate for the July and your anniversary every year.

And then her birthday is on the first, so you got the first and the fourth.

Oh my gosh.

So I kind of get away with just an entire weekend whether and just you know, yeah, and it's fireworks every year. It's fir Secret year. Exactly. That's fantastic.

That's gonna be a hard one not to forget, you know, it's for the July, come on, yeah, exactly, and it's Independence Day.

I can't believe how fast it goes, though. How long have you guys been together?

By the way, we have been together thirteen years married, ten And I always whenever somebody asked me that questions, I always realized that these last not just ten years married, but that the whole thirteen years have gone by so freaking fast, like almost like I feel like I just met her last year and we're still just trying to figure out, you know, what are we going to do with our life together? Right, But there's been so much that's happened, and I think big part of it is because she's been on TV for so long. Yeah, we've lived this crazy world wind of life where we're walking red carpets, we're attending, you know, high level events, we're invited to these great VIP experiences, you know, traveling. I was traveling a lot when I first met her, and I just take her on my trips to you know, Brazil, Europe, anywhere in the world that I could go, I would take her with me. And I think that's one of the things that we missed mostly about, you know, since since COVID and COVID shutting down the world, we missed traveling that much like we used to. But that's that was one of the things that just made our life. Just our relationships just go by so fast. You know, how long were you guys together before you decided to ask her to marry you?

Three years? Three years?

So, like I said, we met and it was probably about a month after she left her ex and moved down on Rome that we started dating. And it was fun. It was just never never thought I would be marrying her, you know. It was just such a chemistry between us and easy talking and and just time spent together was so nice and relaxing, and everything just kind of made sense when we took it's little by little, one step at a time where she moved out, she stabilized her herself, and then she stabilized her kids, you know, going through the whole divorce. It's just it was a nightmare, right, And she lived on her own for a couple of years. I think before we started talking about marriage, and if you remember, we were talking about just having a little beach wedding with a few people, and then producers found out and we ended up having this giant, enormous wedding, which I don't regret at all. It was an incredible wedding. But then she moved in, and you know, well before she moved in, she her her son, her oldest son, had a pitbull named Bronx that you know, needed a home because he was moving into an apartment. And I had just bought this house here in Ladera, and you know, being single and living in this and I decked it out with you know, darkwood floors and you know, the brand new house. So I was all really proud of it. Nothing was out of place, and I was real anal at the time. And she says, hey, have a dog. Can you have a dog, because you know we're going to need a dog for Spencer. When when he moves in with us, you know, or moves into the house, I'm like, okay, but he's going to be an outdoor dog. He's not going to be inside. And sure enough, it took about a week before I fell in love with the dog, and I think I slept with them one time, and I'm like, yeah, no, I can't sleep with the dog.

Forget it.

You know, I love you, but you're gonna have to sleep downstairs or in your cage. And he ended up ruling the house and ruining my floors and ruining the backyard. But he brought so much love and so much stability to the family, particularly because he was he became basically Spencer's dog. He slept with Spencer the entire time that he was with us, and he was just an amazing dog. But that was probably our biggest connection with between me and the kids, was that dog, right, that dog that just you know, brought us together and made us a family. It was a it was a smooth but rough transition because the divorce was just an ugly divorce. The guy was really using the kids to try to get to Tamra and he didn't give a shit about their mental health or you know what the effects were going to be on them. So it was really hard on the kids because of that. Otherwise, you know, it could have been easy. He could have gone his way. She obviously was happy in her relationship, and the kids would have been great and they would have got it. But it was such an ugly public divorce that I really didn't even see. We both didn't really see ourselves getting married because it was such an ugly public divorce. You know, it just didn't really makes sense to do that. And that's probably the biggest reasons why we wanted to just have a small little wedding without announcing it to the world. You know, our lives are already on a platform and everything is out there that she does, and she doesn't hold back, as you know, she just puts it all out there, and I'm like, there's got to be some sort of you know, privacy here.

By the way, did you guys do uh prenup or no prenup?

We did not do a prenup. You know, it just it didn't make any sense, and I think from our generation it didn't. It was it was a negative connotation to have a prenup. Right. It was like, well, if you don't trust me, I don't trust you. And it was one of those things like plus, I mean, I didn't have a lot. I had a house, I had a career, and you know I had money in the bank, but I didn't have I wasn't wealthy, so it didn't matter to me. And of course she was on a show and she's on her way to making a lot of money. But she said, no, I don't. I don't think this is something that applies to us. So, yeah, you know, we had a prenup.

I was going to ask you that, you know. So that was the whole That was the whole conversation. That's that's when I go, all right, I'm in. And I said, look, if we do a prenup, we're good. And I won't get any of your money. You know, whatever John leaves you, you don't touch any of my money. And but the funny part is, you know, now we've been married over ten years. She always reminds me that, I guess after you've been married for ten years that preenam goes away. And it's so funny because the prenum was a very aggressive one and like just freaked out. But it also, I guess, showed me that she didn't really care about it. And obviously she's got her own money, right, so she doesn't really care. But that was kind of a big deal for me that she would. And yeah, she reminds me all the time. You know, it's it's over ten years. I could take all your shit if I want, so, she likes to remind me. It's a California law, which I haven't even checked it, but apparently it is. So yeah, that thing went by.

By from my understanding, and I don't know how the prenums work. I assumed it was kind of an iron clad log like, hey, this is I keep what I have at the time of the marriage, and you keep what you have at the time of our marriage. And then you add in some things like if you know.

You forgot you were you were in law before.

Yeah, so if you inherit, you know, money from your family you added into the prenup that you get to keep it. And obviously I don't know if you had any inheritance coming to you, but whatever you had at the time is going to be yours when you got married. And that's like I said, I all I had was a house in a you know, a bank account and a job. So I was doing very well and it just didn't make any sense that a prenup would protect us or protect her from from what you know, But for you, I guess you know. What I learned in this whole divorce thing is if you are together without a prenup or even a wedding for ten years in California, it's like being married. So you don't even need to get married. You don't need a certificate, you don't even need any of that. All your assets are subject to you know, to a divorce.

So oh, I don't know that you might as well be getting married if you've been together for ten years, right, right.

And I have a friend who got married in Miami or in Florida, and he had a bunch of assets and everything, and I was happy to be at the wedding and everything. He was super happy, and I think he got divorced a year later, and ever since then he continued to build companies, you know, make a lot of money. And he had he had a relationship with the girl, but he wasn't going to marry her, and he made it clearly and understanding with her that we're not going to ever get married. So like, I get it. I get it. You know, once you get screwed like that, and you work your ass off so hard, right you know, you know, I mean I don't know what the laws are.

And well, that's what I never understood is that if whether it's the husband or the wife, right, let's say it's the it's the wife in this case, right, Yeah, she wakes up one day three years later and she just tells you, I don't love you anymore and I'm out and maybe I found a new dude. Right, Yeah, she can take half your stuff even though she's the one that's leaving exactly.

And this is California. This is like, that's what's crazy thing.

And I've always felt even if it's the other way, right, like, if I decide to leave, yeah, and it's I'm choosing to leave, then why, it's like a double whammy. It's like an insult to injury. You're going to leave you and I'm still taking half your shit.

Yeah, So I mean it happens. It happens a lot. I think you were saying sixty percent of marriages and then divorce, and I truly believe that number is accurate, especially in California. You know, there's so much distraction and so much entitlement. And I don't know how these guys do it that have a ton of money and date these young women and marry them, you know what I mean, Like, why are you getting married? Well, there must be some sort of really ironclad bring up that you know, if we get married, you're not You might get X, Y and Z, but you're not going to get at all, you know. And these guys that are wealthy and you know, live that life and don't care about life or money or anything or love. They end up getting divorced or and lose a little bit of money. But I don't know how they continue to do that. They get married over and over and over. I mean there's been some celebrities that get married like seven times. And you know, these movie stars celebrities, they have a lot of money. So how do they do They could afford, like you said, they can afford to right, it's just got so much money.

It's like, all, I get divorced three four times, no matter.

Yeah, But to really pinpoint the purpose behind marriage, you know, I was always afraid because it is a big deal. It is a big commitment. It's almost like the very first time I ever had a not had to, but expressed to a woman that I love you. You know, it's like, that's that's so meaningful to me. I don't know if I could just say it, you know, because I don't know what love is. I was so young, right, I don't know what impressed me, impressed upon me, or who impressed upon me to value that so much that I just didn't want to give it away. Right, I'm just not going to say I love you just because maybe it's a family trait. I don't know. I really valued that. And then it came to, you know, getting married as well. It's like I don't want to just get married.

Yeah, By the way, what's your love language?

Words of affirmation and actions, you know when when you know, not necessarily gifts, but little things here and there. I mean, Tara's really good about doing for me little things here and there. When she makes me dinner, sometimes she's doing it for me. She's not just making dinner just to make dinner, you know what I mean. She asked me what I want. She's real, she just really pays real attention to what I like, what I don't like, and she makes sure that you know it's going to be an enjoyable dinner as opposed to oh yeah hungry, Okay, well let's get door dash.

Jenny used to cook for me all the time before we got married, and once we got married, cooking was over. I know that you said that. I think it was on the show that you wanted a small wedding, but then I think the show found out that you were going to have a wedding, so they offered to pay for it, and then you made it, I think, a pretty big wedding. So do you ever think back of like what a small wedding would look like for you?

I don't, and people have asked me that many times, only because I just I had such an amazing experience with the wedding that was produced and the way it all happened when it was I think I told you when I was presented to me, I was like, I don't want to do this on TV. You know, based on my experience with the Bravo Real Housewife show, it's very toxic. I don't want any drama, and this is supposed to be a very special thing for me.

Yeah, you got all the girls there, right, and.

Then all the girls there and all that. But it turned out to be very well produced and very little drama. Most of the drama had to do with, you know, I want this and she wants that, you know, and don't spend too much money on the wedding, and okay, let's not talk about the budget, you know. So it's like, all right, those things really are not important. I mean, I just didn't want a girl fighting at her wedding or throwing you know, the table or some stupid like that just to get ratings right, nor to get attention. But the way it all turned out, the way it was all edited and produced and filmed, and and the way the wedding planner handled it all, she really paid attention to what Tamra was saying. She really understood my desires on it. I mean, at the time, for example, it was a little bit of a pointer. At the time, I was very much addicted to gummy bears. Gummy bears were my vice and that's what I love the most. And the wedding planner somehow ended up getting gummy bears all over the wedding hall and these two or three i think five pound gummy bears the size of a small baby.

Right.

I'd never seen a gummy bear so big, and so that was you know, I just one one way to my heart and to impress me, and another. You know, I was a big road cyclist at the time. I used to ride my bike everywhere, and the wedding planner ended up finding an old road bike and hanging it from the rafters where we got married and putting flowers and everything and painting it so it matches. And I'm like, wow, you know, you really thought about all the things that bring you know, happiness and value to me to make this a real wedding, a real experience, versus, Oh, we're going to hire the most expensive chefs. We're gonna hire the most expensive this. We're gonna you know, have the Gucci this and you know the pro of that, and we're going to make it the most amazing wedding for TV. You know that probably would have been boring for me and so fake and empty that I probably would have wanted a small wedding afterwards, you know, like that's kind of what I was expecting. Also, like, hey, let's just do a TV wedding for whatever that is. Let's just get through it and after that, and that was our plan. After that, we'll have a small, little wedding, a real wedding quote unquote, and call it a day. But the wedding was so incredibly put together, so real, so magical that I don't regret anything about it. And I'm you know, the only way I would do another small wedding is that maybe we renew our valves. But we've seen how that goes on on the show. You know, people renew their vows and shit hits the fan. Maybe we should do it together and we all we do it together. It's been thirteen years. That would be awesome, like a destination renew destination renewal.

Right, but that's pretty cool that you got all these like special moments. Obviously have your bathtub moment that you I'll always remember on your whatever. I think it was the first date or whatever. But what I mean, how magical is that that you can go back and look at your wedding. I wish I could go back and look at my Paris wedding. I could look at pictures, but I don't have like a video like you guys do. And I mean that's that's the benefit of doing it through the show, right they I mean when I was on the show, that's what I liked about it. I was like, Oh, I'm going to get all this footage with my kids, and I'm going to be able to look back at that footage. It's gonna be pretty cool.

So one of the one of the things I remember having a decision on what the wedding was because it was produced by a production company. I'm not going to have access to the footage. I'm not going to have access to the photos, right, and if I do, it's going to be whatever they want to give me. So I ended up hiring a videographer and a photographer. The photographer was a really close friend of ours. She does weddings. She was amazing, and she had connections with a videographer who did a great job. So the video that I watch every year is the video that was produced for us by this videographer, privately videographer, and it was so well done. I think I watch it every year because it brings lears to me. It brings me back to that moment and it's real.

Right.

I've watched our actual three part series that Brable produced maybe twice, and it's not the same. It's not the same as watching just this one clip that I have on my phone that I can watch. It's like an eight minute clip and I just watch it every year and it just reminds me, and I think subconsciously the reason I watch it is because I think one of the things I've experienced in life is you kind of take things you have for granted generally, right, whether it's materialistic stuff or relationships or even yourself, your talents, your skills, and your abilities, right, you kind of take them for granted. And I know that if it's out of sight, out of mind, they kind of lose attention. And that's happened with friendships, that's happened with you know, even companies that I've had employees, and all relationships in general. So with this, I feel like, if I don't bring this to mine every year and remind me how incredibly magical that moment was, I might I might lose it. I might lose that love, I might lose I might start taking it for granted, and I might lose that magic I have with her. So maybe that's talking to me subconsciously and why I do it. But yeah, every time I watch it, I do getteried, and that was seriously. I was at my visiting my grandmother just a few days ago, and she's kind of going, you know, she's going to be ninety nine years old this year, so she's kind of having Alzheimer's and in the conversations we have are kind of like, oh, wait, did you do you live in Mexico, Like, well, no, I don't live in Mexico. I'm about twenty five minutes away. So I spent some time showing her some videos of my new dog and you know, my life. And then I came across the wedding video and I'm like, oh, watch this, and she was in the wedding. She was in the video, and it just made it that more magical to have this content where she was a big part of the wedding. She walked down the aisle with me, she was in the video. I watched her and the impact was, you know, I don't know when I'm going to lose her, but it's not too long from now. So I have her here, and I have my wife, and I have this magic moment that's going to live with me for the rest of my life. So there's so many impactful reasons why I watched that video, and I think that's why I get taridite, because every time I watch it, I get taite.

Have you ever forgot your anniversary?

No, it's it's it's kind of hard because you know, I have this video reminds me it's on my calendar, and I don't want to be that guy that forgets it. It's it's again very important to me for the longevity of our wedding, you know, of our marriage, of our of our life together. This is this was a big important part in our life and I never want to forget it.

What about gifts? Does do gifts get you nervous?

Like?

What do I get it this year? Like you got to keep continuing to level up? Or what it was?

It's like yes and no, yes, because of the social pressures. You know, it's up there with this whole you gotta spend thirty percent of your anial salary onto a wedding. Shit, that was you know. What I know now is that it was a marketing scheme that was designed by the jewelry company, the jewelry industry that convinced guys to do that.

I'm glad I didn't fall for it. Because the times I've given Teddy some really nice anniversary presents, I'm like, all right, that's your anniversary, that's your birthday, and that's Christmas and that's Valentine's everything. Ask me for another present. I go in there with my negotiation skills. Yeah. The other thing is my wife.

And this is one of the other reasons I love her so much is that she is not high maintenance. She personally won't spend stupid money on herself. Like I'm the one that buys her the two thousand dollars pair of shoes. She won't do it, you know. And even though she probably won't do it, I went out and bought her the six thousand dollars stupid gold bracelet that go on her wrist that locks down on Cardier. That's what it is, Cardia. You know, she has these things that she likes and it's not it's not she doesn't have an expensive habit of spending, right, So even if I got her, I mean, one year, I took a picture of our wedding and had it not laminated but printed on this aluminum piece and hung in our bedroom to remind her, Hey, this is who we were, this is what happened that day, and that was her anniversary present. You know. I think it cost me like one hundred and fifty bucks and that was it, you know, and she was super happy. It's very sentimental because I put some thought into it. And those are the kind of gifts I like, by the way, Yeah, yeah, because we get to see it.

Yeah, you could buy like for me, like I could buy my own present if I want it, right, But like those things I would never do for myself, right, but they mean so much to me, right if you took the time to like get all these pictures together and maybe took me down memory road, because it's something that I normally want to do for myself.

So I like the kind of gifts that I normally wouldn't do for myself, right, Versus like clothes, I go buy clothes if I want some, and I'm very picky with clothes, so I want to buy my own clothes, not yet what you bring me, and I'm like, oh damn, I'm never going to wear this thing.

Right, So is that kind of how your relationship is now where you guys really don't buy each other presence. It's just like I just had a birthday, right, yeah, and you're gonna have a birthday soon.

So next week. Yeah, but.

You know, I didn't want to do anything. I didn't want to go anywhere. We ended up going to Big Beer, having a nice just get away. I had a nice Italian dinner. I even had dessert and tried to, you know, kind of celebrate it. And I think somebody asked, what did you get for your birthday? I'm like, well, I don't know what I want. You know, I kind of want a new Harley. I don't know that I want to spend the money on a new Harley because I already have a nice Harley. So it's like I don't really want to buy myself something expensive. I don't really know, So I ended up getting nothing. Yeah, you know, it's okay, though, It's okay, like you I could just go get anything pretty much anything I want, but yep, it's just Stu.

Yeah no, And I think, uh, I think when its like with me, I hate the reason I hate Valentines and I'm probably the worst at Valentine's. I wish I could be a little more romantic during Valentine's but I hate someone telling me that I have to buy a present or that I have to be romantic, which is what Valentine's is. Like, I want to buy a present because I feel like it, not because it's Valentine's and I'm pressured by you know, someone who decided to make that a commercial day so you can go spend a bunch of money. I am so right there me For me, it's hard to do it, like I just like. But but then randomly I'll come home and I'll just get her a kick ass gift, you know. Yeah, those are the gifts I like because I'm like I wanted to. I didn't have the pressure of it's Valentines and it's this day, so I got to get you a present, right, Anniversary a little different, you got to sort of do something. But my favorite, my favorite one now is now I just tell Teddy, hey, I'm gonna take a shop and let's go let her choose something, and yeah, you can choose it for sometimes and I just I like seeing the joy that she gets to pick out what she wants versus before she was like you pick it out, And I picked stuff out and I think she liked it. But I actually like when I take her and she could actually pick exactly what she wants, what'd you do for your tenth year anniversary? That's an interesting question. I was just thinking about that the other day. I don't really I have a bad time memorizing the years. I know. I bought her an expensive freaking ring that was one of those that's a two year present for you, Teddy, it's not an anniversary. That's a two year present for you. Lasted about six months. That's funny, but it's funny. Now I have to, like, seriously, I have to. It's almost like got to keep count, because the other day she was like, you didn't buy me anything for Valentine's And then she said something like, oh, last Mother's Day. Because Mother's Day's coming out. She had me thinking that I didn't buy anything. I'm like, did I not buy something for Mother's Day? And then sure enough I go home and I saw I remembered the shoes and the glasses that I bought her, and we were in Vegas. Now granted I bought it early, so I bought it. I think we were in Vegas April twenty eighth of last year, and I specifically said, all right, this is your Mother's Day gift. I'm buying it early. And then, of course for Mother's Day, I took her to dinner or lunch or wherever we went, and she's like, you didn't get me anything for Mother's Day. And I remember. I'm like, man, damn, I don't get anything on Mother's Day. And then luckily I remembered because we were with another couple and they're like, yeah, I remember you were. Because we're going back and forth. Did I get her a present? Did I not? I'm like, dude, I know I got you a present. And then finally the other couple's like, yeah, we were in Vegas. Remember you bought her this, this, this, And I'm like, yes, it was just April twenty eighth. And I get so excited that I want to give the gift right away. Yeah right, versus let's wait another ten days from other's day, right. Yeah. So anyway, that's the next one I got coming. I gotta figure out what I'm getting from Mother's Day. So much pressure. I know, in a perfect world, don't get me anything. I will get you anything. We'll call it a day. Yeah, one least thing we got to worry about.

Yeah, but I.

It doesn't work that way.

Here's another reason why we're so much alike, because when you were talking about you know, you can buyer anything anytime. I just learned that concept. I was shopping for I think Christmas or something like that, and I found a gift. I was shopping and I saw this really cute jacket that I thought all my wife would love it, and I bought the jacket. I saved it in the garage and a bag, you know, and I said, I'm going to give it to her for Valentine's Day, And the whole time I wanted to give it to her, like I just, I just I don't need to.

Valentine's get so excited.

Yeah, you gets so excited because I really think she'd look cute on it. And I felt really proud that I did this because I saw something that reminded me of her that would look super cute on her. And sure enough, you know, I was dying and Valentine's came and I gave her the gift and I was super excited, like, Okay, I think I could do it this way because when it comes to thinking, okay, Mother's Days next week and back, when am I going to get I haven't thought about it, and you know, I got to go rush out and get something and as stressful, and then you might get something that's stupid and she'll be mad.

At you if you exactly. I don't want her to be mad at me exactly.

Hey have you looked at some of the reviews that we've had on our podcast? I have not. I need to do a better job of that. I'll read a couple and then we'll move on because I.

Hope they're good. Or should we just read the bad ones? There are no bad ones. There's no bad ones bad ones. Thank you guys for now leaving negative ones. And you know what we want the truth. You know, the truth won't kill us. So this first review is from C Sanders excellent podcast, The Eds. We're both well spoken, wonderful introduction, looking forward to listening all the time. The ladies, Tamer and Teddy should be very proud of their husbands. The boys did a phenomenal job. Pretty cool, right, Yeah, that's pretty cool. Here's another one bad for some first timers.

You two truly are better halves lol. I know. Really enjoyed the podcast, appreciated the honesty and humbleness. Edwin's story is worth sharing everywhere, being an example that no matter where you come from or what you've gone through are not defined. You are not defined by those circumstances. Totally on your side.

Super cool. I love that.

Bravo, no pun intended. I look forward to learning more about you both, and you are taking a life your take on life and all it has to offer. Congrats on an excellent show.

And another thing, you know, you guys that are listening to us, tell us what you want to once to talk about. You know what you want to hear from us, and if there's anything you know, nothing's off the table. Were willing to talk about anything except politics and religion?
