00:00:00.000When you're talking about all the things, and of course, you know, I've read both of your books, the thing that always intrigues me and kind of seems like a catch 22 and I need you to break it down for me is you tend to spend a lot of time telling men to prepare for all of these things and prepare for, you know, eventualities that can happen.
00:00:18.080My question to you is, if that's the case, why go through all this trouble of writing books in order to prepare men for something that you ultimately believe more often than not isn't a good deal for them in the first place, even in the best of circumstances?
00:00:31.420You have means, I have means. If my wife decides to divorce me today, it's going to be a painful situation, even though I've known this woman since I was 17 years old, even though we're best friends, even though we have two children.
00:00:42.240So I'm asking you, how do you justify one by contradicting the other?
00:00:47.320Do you understand what I'm saying to you?
00:00:48.260I'm not sure where the contradiction is.
00:00:50.500The contradiction for me is if you're telling people, specifically men like you and I, right, that marriage in and of itself is a financial trap, but you spend so much time in both of your books showing them ways to prepare if they're going to get into it, why go through all that if it's just such a—
00:01:07.720Oh, I could tell you because men are going to do it anyway.
00:01:09.800I mean, look, guys, I'll tell you, men that have gotten married, my producer that watched all the men talk about their divorce horror stories, I went to his wedding last year.
00:01:21.020Like, I could go through so many dudes that, yeah, they love love.
