Mission Ready: Preparing Our Families for Anything

The morning show opens with hosts discussing a viral, good-natured prank from a wedding where the groom's brother surprised him by appearing in a wedding dress during the first look. The conversation then transitions to a listener's story about her boyfriend's attachment to a ragged teddy bear, sparking calls from listeners who share their own experiences with adult comfort objects, ranging from blankets to stuffed animals, with mixed reactions. Later segments cover a ticket giveaway for the band Chicago, an initiative called the "Boomer Phone" that connects younger people with older generations for conversation, and updates on the rainy local weather. The show also touches on the high rental prices for homes near the World Cup venue and ends with a lighthearted call from an attorney making a pun about "passing the bar." The overall tone is casual and humorous, blending personal anecdotes with entertainment news and community topics.

>> What a five seven W R O R with Bob and LBF in the morning. >> 80s, 90s and more variety all day long. >> Happy Tuesday. It is the last day of March, March 31st. So tomorrow, of course, April fools. >> Yeah, I hate a prank. >> I know. We're not pranksters. No, we don't play that. >> I just generally think that most pranks are mean spirited. First of all, your prank on your brother, which the video we put up yesterday, Aaron's video is so great because it's a, do I want to tell the whole thing? >> Go ahead. It's up. You got to see it. >> All right, so it's out. You know, the famous bridal reveal where the groom turns around and sees his bride for the first time. Well, Aaron's brother was getting married and Aaron dressed up in a full on wedding dress and he was the bride at the reveal and his brother cracked up and everyone cracked up and it's so perfect and it's a prank that's not mean spirited. That's all about fun and it's perfect. So well done, Aaron. >> That was a fun prank. You can check it out on our socials, Bob and I'll be off Instagram page. >> Yeah. >> Our war morning show. My wife wanted to know Aaron because after the so-called reveal to your brother, the groom, you handed him a piece of paper. >> Yes. >> What was that all about? >> The piece of paper was written by his wife. It was just a note saying like, we both needed kind of a laugh. It's kind of broke the tension of everything I'll see you over at the church. >> Okay. >> That's nice. >> And then I had a grown up stairs and get changed back. >> So I said, the bride has run away. >> That's you. >> You married to me. >> I'm circumvented the loss. >> Were those Nike's you were? >> No, those were just, I was in socks. >> I just, I'm so good. >> Those were my two shoes socks. >> I did actually. >> I did actually. >> As soon as the wedding was over, I got permission to change out of the shoes because >> Yeah. >> If you kind of worn those shoes, I don't know how anybody does it. >> Looks like black pattern shoes. >> Yeah, those were so worse. >> Were they rental shoes? >> My God, yes. >> That's it. >> That's it. >> Yeah. >> Those rental shoes. >> No idea how hard that is. >> Seriously. >> They're not built for comfort. >> No idea. >> I've had them. >> Well, the dress is a little comforted. >> Yes, yes. >> Check out the video. It's funny as heck. I really got a kick out of that. It's one of those you're watching a few times, you can't stop actually. Steadier rain today and then a few showers later. Look for a high near 60, not shabby at all, right? Cloudy tonight, 45. Tomorrow look for a cloudy warm in 66 degrees. So that's nice. But the next few days looks like a possibility of some rain off and on. That's just the way it's going to be. All right. So I'm waiting for another big reveal today. >> What's that? >> Well, we're doing a free ticket for Enziol. >> Oh, yes. >> Yesterday was total. We gave away 10 tickets to see Toto all day long today. Can I get it today? >> Ta-da, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. >> There it is. Oh, Chicago and special guest sticks, Expendity Center July 26. >> Well, I love Chicago. >> Yeah. >> What's your favorite Chicago song? >> I like that 24, 6 to 1. >> Yes. >> There's a lot of brass. >> 25 or 6 to 4. >> Yes, something like that. >> Which doesn't make any sense. >> It's just got a lot of fun brass stuff. >> Yeah, that's good. >> I like it. >> Do you ever see that Russian band, Leonid? >> No. >> You want, if you got some downtime, trust me on this. I know you do. >> I don't know if I have that kind of time, Bob. >> You do. >> All right. Google Leonid, right, a band. They're from Russia and they play nothing but Chicago music. Phenomenally well. They really, it's amazing. >> Great. I'd actually like to listen to Chicago. >> I mean, here's a great idea. Why don't you go and listen to some Chicago music? >> Yeah, but okay. >> It's the original. It's not like we can't get it in. >> All right, hear me out. We're not giving away Leonid. That's my point. >> That's my point. >> Let me finish. >> That's my point. >> Yeah, okay. >> I don't know if I should. >> Sadly, we learned a couple of weeks ago that the new lead singer for Boston has passed, right? Tommy and things. He discovered him singing on YouTube at a home depot. So I'm just saying, people like tributary stuff. >> Speaking of tributaries, you just took every wrong turn on that. First of all, Chicago to Leonid, to the lead singer of Boston being dead. What kind of storytelling classes are you taking? >> It's well-rounded. So I mean, anyway. >> Anyway. >> All right. >> Trust me on. >> Father non-sequitur is tuning. >> Trust me on Leonid. Trust me, we got the real man Chicago, instincts eight o'clock. >> Start your day with Bob and LBF in the morning. >> Then get through the work day with 80s, 90s, and more variety all day long. >> 1057WR. >> But right now we have a DM disaster. Yes, Debbie is on the phone. And she DMs her Bob and LBF Instagram page. Hey, good morning, Debbie. >> Good morning, Bob and LBF. I love you guys. >> Thank you. We appreciate that. >> Also the DM? >> All right. So let's get into your DM disaster, Debbie. What's going on? >> Okay. Let me just start by saying, I know I'm 40 and I mean that lives life. I've seen things, if you will. But nothing prepared me for this. >> Okay, I'm listening. >> I just started seeing this guy and he seems like he got his life together, right? >> Mm-hm. >> Like a job. Part of it's super clean, which is rare. Smells like really yummy, expensive, cologne. >> Okay. >> And maybe not expensive. >> It's delicious. I'm thinking finally like a normal adult man. >> Okay. >> So I stayed over for the first time. Everything's fine. We go to bed, lights out, whatever. >> Okay. >> Use your imagination. >> I am. >> No, go ahead. >> All right. >> Well, she just paints a picture. >> I thought that's fine. >> That's enough. That's enough. Anyway, middle of the night, I get up to you at the bathroom. No big deal, right? But when I come back, that is when my soul literally left my body. >> Oh, God. All right. >> I open the door and this man, Greg, who called him Greg, is curled up in a ball and he's spooning something. >> Okay. >> Mm-hm. >> Mm-hm. >> Something, and all right, maybe it's a pillow? No, no, no pillow. No, it's a teddy bear. >> Okay. >> Wow. >> Greg is holding a teddy bear. >> Oh. >> I'm not holding. Not holding. Booning. >> Booning, okay. >> Booning, okay. >> Life completely curled up, fetal position, teddy bear in the center. >> Okay, he missed you. >> No. >> Okay. >> She's okay. >> And when I think teddy bear, I don't mean like a cute decorative, adorable little teddy bear. This bear looked like it had been through war. >> It was loved like the Valentina. >> So he's had it for a while, I'm guessing. >> It says what would be- >> I'm gonna say, love is an understatement. >> Okay. >> Let's just say one eye, like hanging bear. >> Oh. >> That is for like this bear has witnessed trauma. So I'm standing in her dark trying to process why this grown man is holding clinging onto this raggedy bear like it is the love of his life. >> Maybe it is. >> God. >> Okay. >> Yeah, that's part of the problem. But my other problem, I didn't say anything. I just widely got back into bed all the way on the other side because now I'm competing with a stuffed animal for emotional end of the day. >> So, wait a minute, he didn't unspune the bear when you come back in bed? >> No, he was sleeping. >> Oh, he was sleeping. >> Oh, he fell into the bear. >> Yeah, oh my God. >> Which I must have not noticed because I was sleeping as well. And so I wake up to go to the bathroom and come back to find this. So now I'm laying in bed wide awake, staring at the ceiling and spiraling. >> Oh, yeah. >> Wow. >> It all would be. >> It's not a good look. I thought, is this a red flag? Is this trauma? Is this something I'm not equipped for? I'm not a shrink. I don't know if I'm ready to date a man who might ask me to actually respect a bear's feeling. >> Or go to build a bear. I mean, you know what I mean? >> Yes. >> Oh my God. >> You're going to build a bear. >> Yeah. >> That is weird. Debbie. >> It's so weird. >> Yeah. Imagine that I'll be of. >> Yeah, I actually know people who have teddy bears and they still sleep with them. >> Okay. >> Not anybody I'm married to. >> I'm married to. >> Okay. >> Debbie, thanks for sharing your disaster with us. >> You know, when I was a kid, I had a winning the pool bear that later in life doesn't have a face anymore because I -- well, it's an inter-nation after that. >> I mean, I just -- I never -- yeah, I don't -- I don't think. >> All right, Debbie. Thanks for DMing us. We appreciate it. It's definitely a disaster. Good luck with that, okay? >> Okay, thanks. >> All right, let's be honest here. He can't be the only adult with a -- with a -- a woobie. Is that what you want to come up with? >> A woobie. >> A lovey. >> Okay, that you still cling to, kind of be honest. Or maybe you know somebody who has an adult teddy bear. >> I might. >> Ooh. >> All right, let's make her feel better. Maybe he's not so weird. >> 105-7WR. >> It wasn't the three-some -- listen, she wasn't looking for a three-some. I don't mean to be that way. But it ended up being one because the guy she was seeing, first time she stayed over, she discovered that he's got a big teddy bear, that he wraps himself around at night. around in night in spoons and in the evening. she's just like not ready for that. We said they can't be the only adult who still has a teddy bear that they snuggle with. We had a text from 508 says my 30 year old son newly married has a blanket that he takes everywhere. He got it when he was seven. It's a Jeff Gordon NASCAR blanket. He lives in Utah every time he comes home. He packs it in. Yeah. Growing up, he always had this blanket wrapped around him. I don't see anything wrong with it. When he comes home, we wash it for him and he can go back to Utah with his Jeff Gordon blanky. See? It's sweet. Okay. I'm not saying anything. I mean, it's okay. I'd probably have left it at home. That's the only thing I would question. I don't know. I know somebody who shall not be named. Oh boy. Who still has her childhood teddy bear. Although Teddy is kind of like to the point where like limbs are kind of falling off, she's almost 50. Is she single or married? She's married. Okay. But she's also when Teddy is at home and she needs to go away on a business trip, she takes a little stuffed piggy. Okay. Sleeps with that piggy. That's cute. All right. The pig has a name, but I can't remember. Yeah. Yeah. So like pukup, poop, poop, poop, poop, poopy, poop. All right. Let's grab a call. Our whole hard good morning. How about your adult would be like I'm 50 years old. And if I sleep alone, I sleep with a stuffed animal because I don't like the feeling of being alone. Do you spoon your stuffed animal? I do. How big is it when you're by yourself? So if he woke up and really wasn't expecting her to be there still, do you know what I mean in his head? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. How big is your? What is your little? It's a Pikachu. Oh, Pikachu. Okay. That's funny. If that's the worst thing that he does, I'm like, give the guy a break. Would you like his number? Because we can say you too. On the Pikachu. I have somebody but when I'm alone, yeah. No. Have you seen the giant snorlax? Snorlax. Well, it's a big stuffy too, but it's literally the size of a bed. Yeah. Level up. Okay. Maybe I need to level up. Take a look at giant snorlax. Snorlax. All right. Thanks, caller. Appreciate you. Bye bye. That's great. Arro Argon morning. I had this teddy bear that I had and killed a baby before I got married. That's good. No faith. The fur was off. I come back from my honeymoon. My mother threw it away. Oh, mom. She says you don't, she says you don't need it no more. You have a husband. Okay. I was devastated because that teddy bear was with me for years. How could you say that? I did. Are you going to be kidding me? Oh, mom. Sorry. What is mom doing in your bedroom after you're married for goodness' sake? Making room. Well, she was clinging out my room saying you're gone. Your mom's like, bear is gone. It was gone. We need to get you in each head. Oh my god. I was so devastated. I can tell. Yeah. Still feel it from me. All right. All right. All right. Thanks for calling. All right. You have a good one. You too. Bye. Bye bye. Never forgot it. How about mom? She couldn't wait to get that room emptied out for a guest room or whatever. That's that's what a message I got. I think it's nice. Not right. I think it's sweet. There's something weirdly sweet about it. Like having it's stuffed animal. Yeah, but like even like the guy with the stuff like it's sweet. It shows a sweet side. That's nice. That if you so sweet to that stuffed animal. Well, imagine how nice it's going to be to you. Why don't you tell Debbie that for goodness sake? Debbie's the wrong. Okay. Relax Debbie. Start your day with Bob and LVF in the morning. Then get through the work day with 80s, 90s and more variety all day long. 105 7WR. You say you're not a fan of soccer. Well, you could have thousands of reasons to become a big fan this summer. Right LVF? Yes. I just read that raffles the very fancy hotel in Boston is offering a $75,000 three day weekend at their hotel presidential suite spa treatment to take us the World Cup and helicopter ride to Gillette State helicopter ride, which you know the helicopter rides is the only reason to do it. Okay. Because getting to the World Cup is going to be very difficult. Yes. Unless you find a nice little home in the Foxborough and Norfolk area. And I guess people in that area are putting their homes on Airbnb and Airbnb isn't on the game because they're going to give you a $750 sign on bonus if you put your house up. And you can earn thousands. If not tens of thousands of dollars renting out your house in Foxborough in that area for people coming in. Oh my god. So I mean, if you give them a car service too, you could get even more. It's July, right? I think that's when the World Cup is there. July. Yeah. I think July. Yeah. Oh my god. My brother talked to me about it because he lives in Scotland and he wanted to come over and see Scotland play. But I told him he couldn't stay at my house. You did. I'm just kidding. No, it's just expensive. But yeah, there are houses that are getting like 40k for the week. Wow. Would you ever consider Airbnb being your house for that? For I mean, 40,000 or so. Speaking of my brother, he was like, yeah, I don't know. I mean, you'd have. There's a hooligans coming over. I have to know the Scottish guys. Yeah. They got some hooligans. I mean, you're talking about what you're not going to see that movie brave, but yeah. What's your number? If for if you were to Airbnb for a week, what would your minimum be? I would my minimum would be like 30 grand. 30 grand for a week? Yeah, you're not going to see that. Come on. Wouldn't you take this? I hate one guy's to this. They're like, let me play a game. Then they give the parent. I'm not going to say something and then they're like, you're never going to get that. We're playing to see. But I was saying realistically, because you're closer. I'm on the train. You can take the train right there. You can take the commuter rail down there. You said the minimum you would take is 30. That's it. No. Come on. Would you do would you do five for a week? No, I would not do five. I wouldn't do 10. I probably wouldn't even do 10. No, because here's why I don't want to I don't want to need people in my house. It's my house. It's my house. You can't say. I live here. Why don't you stay? No, I'm dating something. I mean, I love a good Scottsman. Can I borrow your skirt? Have one. All right. Fine. I mean, I was suggesting you can be the house made. You can make breakfast. Girlfriend is no house. I'm not practicing my ins. I'm not practicing my bed and breakfast skills on about your world cup. I'm getting a lot of dodge. Take a minute, 30 grand and go into. I'm trying to give you some money here. You're closer. Aaron, you're a brain tree, right? Yeah, you could do it. You could do it. What do you think? minimum 50,000. Okay. All right. 105 7WR. You got to love this. A pavement coffee house is what it's called on Commonwealth Ave in Boston. As hosting what I consider to be an absolute ingenious idea, it's called the boomer phone. Okay. What is the boomer phone? Do you pick up the phone and then connect somebody who doesn't know how to Google stuff? No. The pavement coffee house on Commonwealth wants you to reach out to or boomer and make their day or they can make yours. It's an experiment. I guess it's a neuroscience thing that it's supposed to be, you know, I help people who are lonely. So you're a zoomer and you call a boomer. Yes, zoomer to boomer, please. And the boomers they're calling them where? I think it's in Utah. No, Nevada. Nevada. Okay. And it was out west. Yeah. Reno. Yeah. I've got some stories to tell. So one time I know I said the bunny ranch. I remember an old prospector that came through. An approach to two. I love this idea. You need to connect the two, you know, the younger generation with the boomers. Yeah, really how so. Why? Because I think I've heard a lot of boomers say, not surprising. I'm saying that they feel invisible. Oh, you feel invisible. But they're everywhere. Like I go to my I go to my mother-in-law's place in Uber and where she's the retirement home as I call it. Boomers fill up the whole place and they're there. You know, they're you can tell they're kind of lonely. They want to talk to somebody. They'd be great if you had a caller boomer phone right there. You could they pick it up. Have the boomers considered the reason why people don't want to talk to that. That's my nice. I'll be half. They have a lot to offer. The boomers do. No, it is very sweet. Like listen, this is a great little experiment because honestly, you can learn a lot from people who've lived before you. We all kind of go through the same sort of stuff, different types of stuff, but it's nice to be able to call a person who has a little bit of a world view. So this girl picked up the phone at the get coffee shop there in Boston pavement coffee and a boomer answer. >> Yeah, she said he was just waking up, he was going out for a walk and he complained about the weather. >> That's right. >> There you go. >> That's right. >> Did he explain in great detail what he was going to eat? >> No, no, that's fine. >> Tapioca pudding. >> The best part is they'll just do all the talking. >> That's right, you just make it up now as you day and just set the phone down for 20 minutes. >> I think it's pretty cool. They've been coffee and come up with that next time in town. >> Okay, well if anybody wants to call a boomer, what's the number here again? >> Eight a day. >> One, one, oh. >> I do want to complain about the weather. >> A rain today is going to be warm, but wet. >> Always, because it just can't be sunny out. >> That's right. >> Here I'll see. >> Then get through the work day with 80s, 90s and more variety all day long. >> 1057WR. >> This is SuperSmart in 60 seconds. >> Yes, let's say good morning to Stephanie from Easton. Good morning, Stephanie. >> Good morning. >> Stephanie is telling us she's an attorney, lawyer. And I asked her if it was hard to pass the bar and you said not at all. >> Right? >> LBF. >> Yeah. >> You can't pass the bar. >> I never pass the bar. >> No, you can stop in and get a couple of drinks. >> All right, so you're dropping your kids off at school? Is that what's going on, Stephanie? >> Yep, they're off. >> What are their names? >> Juniper and Beckett. >> Nice names. I love those. >> Well thought out. >> Thank you. >> So cute. I like it. Okay. You know how SuperSmart work, Stephanie, right? You get 10 answers correct. We're going to give you $1,000. Okay, so you can spoil Beckett and Juniper. Say pass, if you're not sure, we'll come back to it. $4,000, Stephanie, let's play SuperSmart. >> What is 12 plus 12? >> 24. >> Who was vice president under Bill Clinton? >> Al Gore. >> Ray Apurlman played this sassy waitress on cheers. >> Apple's CEO Steve Jobs was known for wearing what color turtle neck? >> What actor asked for more cowbell on SNL? >> Who sings the theme song from the James Bond film "Dye Another Day"? >> How tall is a regulation adult soccer goal? >> What is an organism called that lives on the end or on a host animal? >> What does the Swahili word "Simbamine" in English? >> What mineral is also referred to as Fools Gold? >> A fran on a time. You did great though. >> Six right? >> It's six right past on two. Here's what you missed. >> Ray Apurlman played this sassy waitress in Cheers Carla. Who's the theme song from the James Bond film "Dye Another Day" Madonna? But it does was a good guess. How tall is a regulation adult soccer goal 8 feet? You missed by a foot. What mineral is also referred to as Fools Gold? >> You did great. >> You got some tough ones correct. >> Yeah, be dead. >> Definitely feel good about that. We know you want to get back to work, but hang on for a second. We're going to give you a WR award. >> I want to back to work. >> I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm serious woman. >> Yes, I like it. >> Stephanie, hang on. We're going to give you a WR or a super smart T-shirt. Aaron's going to grab all your info. We appreciate your listening. >> Thank you guys for everything. >> You too, hang on. Very nice. An attorney passed a bark like that. >> Yeah, I mean, well, there you go. >> That was watching the JFK Jr. thing. I think it was three strikes, right? >> He passed on the third. >> He passed on the third time, but it was going to be three strikes. >> You know, know how, whatever. He was very good looking. >> You see him? >> Yes. >> Are you saying he wasn't as smart as his sister? >> Okay, we'll leave it at that. >> I'll leave it at that. >> 1057WR. >> You remember the show, this old house? >> Yeah. >> I want to upset Apple cards, but it should be entitled, this old house sucks, okay? >> This was a mistake. >> I mean, there's a reason people were begging to be on that show. >> Yeah, true enough. I got some issues here. >> Okay. >> So it's just a buyer-beware situation. So if you got an extra 5.8 million in your back pocket and you're looking around for a new house, there's one in Cambridge that you might find tempting, but please I'm begging you do not buy this house. It's called the Hooper Lee Nichols house. Okay, it's on Brattle Street. >> Yeah, it's beautiful street. >> Okay, I know it sounds tempting. 5.8 million dollars, it was built in 1685. >> That's 1685 reasons not to buy this. >> Exactly. It's the second oldest house in Cambridge. I don't even want to know what's older than this. All right, so you look at it. It's over 6,500 square feet. Okay. >> Oh, okay. >> It looks popular on the outside. >> Yeah, okay. >> It's got a driveway that's gated, nice, nice. But when you open the door to that old house, this is where it gets really crazy. >> C'mon, gee. >> First of all, the small kitchen looks like it was an apartment kitchen. >> Well, that's the way kitchens were. >> That's the deal. Our kitchens were not opulent like they were today. >> No, no one's running in the kitchen. The help was in the kitchen. >> Yeah, I mean- >> You're in the dining room. >> Yeah. >> Ring, ring, ring. >> Right, you didn't care about the kitchen. Okay, it looks like something, honestly, I lived in Somerville in the late 80s and it looks like an apartment ahead in the Somerville. I mean, back to the day. >> Just- >> Okay, not the whole house, obviously. >> No, just the kitchen. And then you got those creaky floors, right? >> Yeah. >> The house. >> Really low ceilings. >> Yeah. >> And it's got those old brick fireplace that you think are chameing, but they stink. They smell of old wood that's just burnt out ash. You can never get out of it. >> Yeah, no one like sold woodbub. >> We're going to talk about that in a few minutes, stick around. Plus, for 5.8, you get an unfinished basement that's going to wreak of the ancient catacombs. >> If I have five. >> Five.8 million. >> Yeah. >> I would buy this house. >> You would buy this house. >> Because the 5.8 million is not the end of more of my money as if I have 5.8 million. >> True. >> They're going to sink another three million into that house and it is going to be a show place. And I can have like fabulous dinner parties and a fabulous life in that gorgeous home with history and all the Harvard professors will come over and they'll tell me how they went to Harvard. >> For three minutes of meeting them and then that is the most unfeeling. >> Well, to you. >> Yeah, no, I have no interest at all. You've got five seconds in Cambridge. >> Are you saying I'm not Cambridge worthy? >> No, I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying you would last five seconds in Cambridge. >> Why wouldn't I last five seconds in Cambridge? >> Well, the bike lane's alone would do you with? >> Well, maybe I'll take up biking. Maybe I'll be one of the bicycles. >> You're going to bike straight to Somerville. You can get a nice beer and a little bit of the end. No thanks. >> I don't think you should, I don't think you should poo poo the 1685 house though because there's a lot to be said about an old house. It has something about it. Like there are ghosts in there and it's like my house is 1876 and I just, I feel protected by that crazy old house. >> Okay, now this house has steam for heat. >> What do I? >> There's better things in life. >> That's just interesting. People who are attracted to like, I'm going to rehab or refurb. Do not do it. I want shiny news, melty news. >> I like see you in it. I like my houses like I like my men. >> How's that? >> I like a project. >> You get out what? You just don't have 5.8 million. Do that for you. >> Start your day with Bob and LVF in the morning. >> 1057WR. >> People are upset that I'm up that I was telling them, you don't want to buy an old house. You do you. I'm just saying, I want shiny news. >> Yeah, no, I just, I don't know. I just love old houses, but they, I could have, I could probably have two houses, maybe three with the money I've put into my old house. >> That's the thing. >> Yeah, but. >> And you want to do more? It's never ending project. >> It's never ending project. >> It really is. >> I don't know, like in New England, like, where would be be without our beautiful old houses? >> Yeah, I like driving by them. I like to visit them. I want one, one. >> Fewer of you and more of the people who save houses. >> What is that mean? >> If you were of me. >> I want fewer of you because I, like, you're like, I want brand new. I want it, like shiny new car smell. >> Yeah, but once you start, once you buy a house that you put a lot of work into it, it gets old. >> If you've replaced AC units and boilers and- >> The good thing about an old house is you don't have AC units. >> You know, now that is the most salient point. >> So there you go. >> Wow. >> You just sweat it out. >> And more over? >> I think you're right. >> So there you go. >> All right. >> LBF, what, I know this trend because I trust, I've never used it, but I keep hearing 6, 7, 6, 7. But this isn't the 6, 7 that you're talking about here. >> Well, I'm never talking about 6, 7 because I'm not a 13 year old boy, but this is a different kind of 6, 7 dating trend. >> Oh, it's a dating trend. >> Yes, it's totally different from the 6, 7 we don't understand. >> Okay, what is this all about? >> Basically, it's about lowering your expectations. >> Two, what's next? >> Which I really, I think is the key to life. In fact, I whisper in every baby's ear when I hold them for the first time. >> Is that what you say? >> Lower your expectations and the food is actually really good here. >> That's nice. >> Yeah. >> So 6 and 7. >> So basically, it's about intentionally choosing partners who are 6 and 7, not 10s. Because a 10 is overwhelming. A 10 brings chaos, insecurity, toxic patterns, whereas average people, safe, stable, emotionally available, calmer, healthier, leading to long lasting relationships. Stop chasing butterflies, start choosing peace. >> Okay. >> But you know what? It's not going to work for a lot of people because most people are shallow. >> Okay. So this is an actual dating trend. >> Well, it's actually kind of not even a trend, it's dating advice. >> But it's unspoken, right? >> No, it's spoken, they spoke it. >> No, but I'm saying like, if you're in a dating app, you wouldn't say, hey, it's Lauren looking for a 6 or 7, 10s, don't bother me. >> No, you're just instead of like swiping right, right? Is it right or left? I mean, I don't know. >> Swipe right on like a 10 who's probably going to deliver heartbreak and chaos. You just go like, oh, he's an average guy. Although, I just don't know. It's just, why not go for the gold? I have no idea. If you're constantly swiping right on 10s and they're bringing you nothing but misery, then just lower your expectations. >> Can I ask a question? >> Yeah. >> Okay. So. >> I didn't make this up. >> I know you did. You're just kind of reporting it. And but I think you're intrigued by it. So would it be so wrong to go, all right, leave the 10s out. I agree. You don't need that because you don't want to tell anybody so like, right, like out of your league that you're always perpetually chasing the dream, so to speak. So why not, can we go to eight instead? >> You can't go down to eight. >> You should go down to five. Here's the thing. Okay, I'm going to say this just generally speaking. When you're dating somebody and maybe, you know, obviously if you're not attracted to somebody, if you're not friends with them, you know, don't waste your time. But if there's something about this person that you like, maybe it's not like they're not like, oh, you know, ripped or like gorgeous or whatever. But if there's something about them you like, I guarantee within three months, you're going to like them even more because of their personality and the things that they do and how kind they are. And then by month six, you're going to think they're gorgeous because that's what happens to you when you like somebody. You like them and then all of a sudden you're like, I don't know what he's going to like to do. >> I think that worked for me in Carolyn. I think you're right. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah, because, you know, I'm not coming at you as a 10, but with some charm, you know, a little wit. >> Little. >> You know, it doesn't take a lot. >> You know what I mean? >> That's not. >> So you, for Carolyn anyway. >> You don't get my best stop. Okay, you're just getting early morning to cup of coffee stuff. >> Okay. >> I got all day to imagine what happens before me. >> You'd be starving and witty. >> So yeah, I submit that she probably altered it down to maybe a seven and a half because of my charm and wit took the numbers there. >> It could be. >> I like that. >> It could be. >> It worked out great. >> It could be, you know, more self esteem. >> I know. It's not happened to that right now. We've been happy for 30 years. >> 257WR. >> People should bring their taste down to a six or seven level when it comes to dating. They also have, I don't think that's going to work because there's this real shallowness out there. And for instance, just from a man's point of view, if you're less than 510 now or even maybe 5116 feet, you're not going to get that right swipe, right? >> If you have to get because it seems like women want a guy who's taller than 510. >> Well, initially they may want somebody who's taller than 510, especially if they are a taller. But would you be surprised? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know why people partner up. >> At this point. >> I don't know. >> I think that keeping a casual is just the way to go. >> Yeah. >> I think that's the way. >> What do you mean keeping a casual? >> Keep a casual folks. You don't, you know. >> But you got to get that first date. And if you, if you like a said, if you're under 510 for a guy, you're not even going to get that date. >> Well, don't advertise it. >> Don't you have to? >> Stand next to somebody who's tall. No, you don't. >> But you have to say. >> No. >> Oh, no kidding. >> You don't have to say how tall you are. And if you do, just add it all in. >> Where lives? >> Where lives. >> You know women with measurements. >> All right. >> He's been right there. >> Yeah. >> Well, leave that right there.
