Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of I Tell You What.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
So, Dubbs, you got this in your relationship, you are
good to go. The one thing that you must have
this is absolutely genius. I don't think anybody's ever heard
this before, so let's talk about it.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
According to this love expert, for your relationship to laugh,
you have to have friendship with your spouse, basically ideally
best friends with your spouse. And that's where I ended
reading this article. I was like, this is dumb. Of
course your spouse should be your best friend. Isn't that
how your relationship starts off. You want to build like
a friendship somebody that you have kind of similar interests in,

(00:35):
but ultimately that you can tell anything to. It'll all
start that way, true.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
How else they start?

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Well, Jeversey, pretty woman, you know been a minute, let
me get this start out with you know, some monetary transactions.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
I guess yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Oh yeah, yeah, yep, yep.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Now remember I mean, do you sure we can't stereotype? Yeah,
that'ship started. My golly, girl can say there's an email
from Steph.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I am the she's up, you know, and she would
be one of those relationships.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Not Steph. Stephanie would be the real one. The rest
of them don't matter.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
And no, steph costs more than any of them I've
been married were for You're almost twenty three years.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
That's not that's not the same same with me.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I don't cost that much with her too. I don't
think we could label it as that profession. I don't think.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
But but you need to look at it as like
in the girl math style, where it's like the value
that you get for the money that you pay. And
obviously the value that you get from your marriage to
Stephanie is far beyond any monetary.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Value that you made.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Absolutely, can you now talk about the other way? What
do you mean the value that she gets from me
is far beyond the.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Well anyway, tell me more about the.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
So basically, it's like Dollar Tree. Chris is the Dollar Tree?

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Listen? Dollar Tree?

Speaker 4 (01:52):
Hey no, no, no, Dollar Tree and Dollar General actually
are really up in their game. They're like full on
grocery stores these days. So I don't know if that's
really fair to the Dollar Tree gueneral to compare them
to Chris.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
I think of myself a little bit more of a
Claire's boutique.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Yeah, even that, I don't know Chris is like, the
roadside stand in the middle of nowhere, we're selling what
their random selling corn?

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, sell corn, some of the best corn you'll find
let me tell you.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah, I know, But how much money they're bringing in
because nobody lives within like twenty five miles.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Would be saying, you should know this. You're out there
in Buffalo. Well you live in Maple Lake, but I
mean out there they have like this coming up. We're
coming up to the time of year. That's the best
corn you can get.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
You dive out there. They make it a destination.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
You're flying from all over the place to go to
the middle of a cornfield and get some of the
best sweet corn on the planet.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
You're right, I'm giving you way too much better.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Chris is like, I don't know, just the weird like
stand put together by some kid selling lemonade, except it's
not good lemonade.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
They made it with like mudwater, mudwater, and it's.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Like the cute toddler and everybody like buy their cup
of mudwater because they feel bad for it.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
And then checking, oh this is so good, little timmy,
thank you.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
That's Chris, it's not mudwater. That's Those are Alabama slammers.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
What is an Alabama slammer? Because I've heard that before.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
But yeah, no, it's just a little it's just you know,
something that I guess I would probably sell that before
i'd sell mudwater. I would sell lemonade. That'd be maybe
have a little vacan it not for kids. It's legal, Huh,
I don't think it's legal.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Don't you do a liquor license in the middle of
a cornfield? You're right, we don't care about them.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Probably have the Telly sheriff coming by for a couple
of hits.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Every now and then. What were we talking about here?

Speaker 2 (03:32):
I don't know. If your relationship has the best friend
kind of thing, you're good to go.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
This is stupid because obviously, like Doubs, you're right. Obviously
you assume that you're friends with your spouse unless it's
like some arranged marriage like obviously destined to fail.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Those Obviously in Minnesota we come across so many arranged
marriages nowadays.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
I mean, that's such a big deal. Yeah, I wanted
to make think yours was Why.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yours as close to arranged as it can get? Why
aren't you guys related?

Speaker 4 (04:01):
No, our mothers just have the same maiden names very wild,
not for any reason.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
You're in the same super small town. Yeah, except my
family's from Wisconsin. That makes it better.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, yeah, okay, Yeah, I'm trying to take my shots too,
but I don't think it's working on.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
She's like, she's like wonder woman over there. It just
doesn't bother me. I trust me. When I found out
what his mother's maiden name.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Was, I did a deep dive on ancestry dot com.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
There's no relation. Yeah, don't worry.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Let's do a blood test tomorrow morning. See if that
would change anything.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
What would it change? Too late?

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Now I don't know, And technically I think what you
could be married to your second cousin, I think, couldn't you.
We don't need to justify it feel Yeah, I mean
maybe maybe I don't know about it. Maybe we're like
fiftieth cousins. Who cares at that point? We're all related
somehow does it.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Even count at that point? No, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
