00:00:00.000good afternoon good evening ladies and gentlemen welcome to another episode of pearl daily
00:00:14.400i am your host pearl davis and this is the audacity network as you guys know we are currently
00:00:20.440demonetized on this channel so if you do want to support my work please go to the audacity
00:00:25.720network.com and sign up for our monthly or our yearly membership so let's get to it so today's
00:00:33.960topic was inspired by something that i've heard my entire life i have always heard that you should
00:00:40.840marry your best friend but i question if that is good dating advice by the way this is the same
00:00:51.080culture that we have it's cheaper to keep her and happy wife happy life with which clearly does not
0.69
00:00:57.880get good results in this society so I kept hearing that we want to marry our best friend
1.00
00:01:07.280and what I kept thinking about was how this really only benefits the feminine because when
0.75
00:01:14.620women have a tendency to friend zone men they're not that into and what this does is give women
00:01:20.480plausible deniability for rejecting them early on and the ability to marry them later so i saw a
00:01:28.880tweet by cody sanchez and the tweet said being married is so underrated come home to your best
00:01:37.040friend talk and laugh every day cook and drink wine together and share burdens together and the
00:01:44.720first thought I had was do men really want to hear about our day every day don't they kind of like
00:01:50.740silence am I going crazy so anyways so my opinion that I put out was my unpopular opinion is I don't
00:01:59.580want my husband to be my best friend I think that men and women have roles and that we have different
00:02:06.480roles in a relationship and I want to talk to my husband differently than I talk to my girlfriends
00:02:12.220I think that the way that I would talk to a girlfriend is just completely different than a husband right now people had a lot to say about this and this is why I wanted to open it up and have a call and show today where people can give their perspectives because there's no right or wrong to this idea right I just want to hear what you guys's perspectives are now on Twitter John says if your husband's your best friend you've already lost
00:02:41.880He should be the man leading, protecting, and dominating life, not chatting like your
00:11:53.880All right. We're dealing with Zoom here. Hold on.
00:11:58.520Are you getting my audio clear? Yeah, I can hear you.
00:12:02.240Oh, good. I can hear you. And yeah, I've got my camera on. I just popped in and it was like instantly on the air. So anyway.
00:12:09.820um where are you at it looks like you're on a pyramid
00:12:13.540that's borobudur oh that's in indonesia okay that's one of the seven wonders of the world
00:12:20.620um no i i want to talk to the real pearl not the the you know like stop the cat pearl i want the
00:12:29.360old pearl back i want to you know a genuine conversation i know you got demonetized and
00:12:36.140you've had to rework your show and everything but i i kind of missed the old pearl that
00:12:40.780we knew we're trying to go to the topic so uh okay so yeah i married my best friend
00:12:47.460okay and why do you think that's a good idea um well that was 20 years ago and you know it wasn't
00:12:54.860like marriage is not a uh light decision you you know you make heavy decisions in your life like
00:13:03.200buying a house, buying a car. And you go through a process of, you know, deciding factors. And
00:13:10.000when you are selecting someone to spend the rest of your life with, you need to know enough about
00:13:17.320them that you're as close as you would be with your best friend. And it's just common sense.
00:13:23.640And we, you know, in the red pill community, we have a mantra of two years of vetting
0.77
00:13:29.480for any type of long-term relationship, we just say, you know, two years. And that's largely
00:13:36.360because if you're lying to somebody, you get snarled up in those lies. After about two years,
00:13:43.880it's hard to keep them all straight. And you can really find out if someone's, you know,
00:13:49.980lying to you and faking it or giving you a false impression or has some skeletons in the closet.
00:13:56.620and so you know okay that's on the topic and here we go and what are we going to do about this
00:14:03.520old pearl versus the new pearl do you think that the friendship you have is different
00:14:08.580between um your wife and like another man
00:14:12.140yeah it's like she's like a ride or die chick she'll she'll have my back you know like if i'm
1.00
00:14:22.900getting clobbered in the street and i'm down i'm bloodied she's gonna jump on that other guy's back
00:14:30.060and start killing him yeah well i'm just wondering because i guess what i'm getting at is i i think
00:14:36.920the friendship would be different between two guys and a man and a woman do you disagree with
00:14:43.680that there's a difference in that you know guys we uh we bond by doing things together so
00:14:52.000So, but with my wife, we bond by making things together like a home, children, family, dinners, outings, you know, it's kind of the, we're complements in the relationship.
00:15:14.020Whereas with guys, we're cohorts, we're peers, and we're doing the same goal together as guys.
0.85
00:15:20.700and with a woman we're doing something in a in a social construct right as opposed to
0.96
00:15:31.540an activity does that make sense no that makes sense well thank you very much for calling in
00:15:38.420i appreciate the input no problem take care bro bye bye bye okay guys so
00:15:46.620um i i always appreciate when just give it one second on the video price or sorry um but
00:15:54.700guys i always appreciate when um you come in and you have different topics um and it's not to be
00:16:01.680rude but i do have to i have a show i have a topic and we're trying to keep it to the topic
00:16:07.160um so yeah if you have other stuff you can always book a session with me but um yeah for now for
00:16:13.860this we're sticking to the topic of the show um okay we can bring up the video um hello
00:16:23.220hello can you hear me hi what's your name my name's rj hi rj where are you from
00:16:30.500i'm from the united states but i currently live in montenegro where
00:16:35.460montenegro it's uh part of the balkans but it's a small country in the balkans
00:16:39.620oh i've never heard of that um is it nice if you go to the heel of italy okay yeah it's right it's
00:16:46.100right on the atriatic coast so if you go from the heel of italy go across the atriatic sea
00:16:50.740you come into this little tiny country it's less than a million people all of here so
00:16:54.020okay it's a very small country so what do you think of the topic should you marry your best friend
00:16:58.900uh so i right now i say no when i got married i my wife at the time or so she said my girlfriend
00:17:10.640at the time then became my wife um she was kind of my only friend i just didn't have a lot of
00:17:16.100friends and as i've gotten you know older it's been about 10 years now i've really come to
00:17:22.580understand that there are things that men have to deal with and men experience that are that first
0.99
00:17:30.600of all women can't understand um and probably shouldn't understand especially a wife should not
0.72
00:17:36.240understand and that there is a there there's things that you just need to be able to protect
00:17:43.440your wife from and be able to keep those things separate and so having a having your best friend
00:17:49.540for at least from the male perspective be a never man is i think um required so i would actually say
00:17:56.980i don't think it's really possible for a man to have his wife be his best friend i think it needs
00:18:02.420to be another man okay and what would you say you have to shield your wife from like what are
00:18:08.020conversations you can have with male friends that you can't have with your wife well i i can you
00:18:14.100know speak from my own experience where there's there's a lot of points where you know my wife and
00:18:19.060and I, we've had a lot of struggles and challenges in our life. I mean, we have three kids, but two
00:18:25.340of them are autistic, not kind of conversationalist. And it's just when you have, you know,
00:18:30.640when you're facing a lot of the challenges that we've gone through or, you know, it's like, hey,
00:18:34.360we just don't even know where, you know, food's going to be coming from, to be honest. Fortunately,
00:18:39.340we're past that now. But when I was at that point, and this is, you know, even before I started
00:18:43.520watching your content um i would i'll be honest i was i was not a very strong person at that point
00:18:51.860that's not a very strong man and i put a lot of the burden of that situation on my wife and that
00:18:57.620um was not good for our marriage and um it's actually because of your content that i was
00:19:04.660able to fix that and actually make our marriage to be much better so i want to thank you for that
00:19:08.180as well but beside that point it is a result of it's these hardships you know part of the the job
00:19:15.200here uh what i will tell my wife is that a husband's husband's role is to again protect you
00:19:23.560know the well i think a father's role starts off with protecting a daughter's um innocence and
00:19:29.080purity and that kind of transfers over to a husband that they're trying to protect their
00:19:33.840wife from you know the the monsters in the world so to speak and so that's where those are the kind
00:19:40.240of things that you need to be able to protect your wife from and you know sometimes it just it's not
00:19:45.380easy but you have to tough up and just make it work can i if you don't mind would you mind getting
00:19:50.340a little more specific on like what you did before and what you changed after just because there
00:19:54.940might be guys in the chat that are looking to improve their marriage so like how would you put
00:19:59.280the burden on your wife before and how did it switch after yeah so um it's i'll try and keep
00:20:06.780it as short and concise as possible um because it is a bit of a broader story but the basically
00:20:14.700there's for about the first eight years of our marriage we are just struggling in various
00:20:20.300different things um we had our first child um 12 months after sorry not 12 months it was
00:20:28.64013 months after we got married so we had kids very early on in our marriage and then um so just a lot
00:20:36.280of different challenges from there and um money was always a big challenge i had a hard time finding
00:20:41.840a job and keeping a job and it would be a case where you know my wife would be you know asking
00:20:47.480me questions about like oh is there things i can do for you is there things that you want for
0.89
00:20:51.760christmas or you know this you know presents or that and so i just want you know to you know
00:20:56.600have money, more money, have, you know, solve these problems. And I was, you know, always
00:21:02.900complaining about these things. Um, what actually ended up happening is my wife, um, she's, she had
00:21:09.600to take a trip about two years ago and she, uh, to go to, to a family's wedding. And this is a point
00:21:17.680where, um, it was probably the, the absolute lowest point. Um, we were basically, um, about
00:21:25.380two months away from being just completely destitute having no other options after exhausting
00:21:30.140pretty much everything and um while she's on that trip which of course someone else was paying for
0.57
00:21:35.540anyway it wasn't me that was coming for it and i was making her um go and do a lot of work that
00:21:42.180she didn't really want to do and putting her in these challenging positions it was just uh she's
0.98
00:21:46.480teaching languages and so was anything immoral i'm gonna add that in there um but uh what ended
00:21:53.220up happening was during that trip that's when i started watching your content i started watching
00:21:58.180um kevin samuels content um some fresh and fit and kind of just i took you know bits and pieces
00:22:06.220and started understanding more that i was not acting like a man in this position i was not
00:22:11.360taking i was not leading i was not taking um taking ownership of the situation that we were in
00:22:18.980And when she actually came back, I said, I'm very sorry. I'm going to take full responsibility from this. I put us in position. I know that I don't want you to be going out and doing these teaching jobs, which aren't making much money.
00:22:34.880But at this point, that's just the situation we're in.
00:22:37.780We need you to keep doing that for the time being.
00:22:40.020But I'm going to be working to resolve that.
00:22:43.120And I was also something that was a really big difference to it was I also confronted very directly about the things that I found were that I took as disrespect.
00:22:55.160They said, look, I'm going to take ownership on this stuff, but here's some other points.
00:22:58.900i think these things that you are doing are um i i i see those as being disrespectful to me
00:23:07.060and i want you to also to work on those and to take action to change those and we're going to
00:23:12.180go in this better direction and she actually took it very well um and basically it took us i mean
00:23:21.060it took us about a year to really have things turn around but we started seeing significant
00:23:25.060progress even after two months. Um, and yeah, so the, the, the big points I would say is actually,
00:23:32.580you know, stepping up, taking ownership, um, not making excuses, not putting, you know,
00:23:38.740passing these burdens on to your wife, but also being, not being afraid of your wife, not, um,
00:23:46.580being afraid to call her out for the things that are making one happy, such as, you know,
00:23:51.940anything that might be that you're receiving as disrespect and yeah you might make her upset it
00:23:57.180is possible and i've done that plenty of times and she gets over it and she so loves me so wow
00:24:04.380well that was a great story i'm glad you turned things around
00:24:07.320yes yes oh my thank you so much well thank you so much for calling in of course
00:24:13.640so what a great story guys what a nice guy look at the um you know the red pill can be helpful
00:24:26.060to people it really can um hello sir what's your name
00:24:31.480hello sir uh dane oh snyder right snyder dan dan yeah i uh just a second you're right you're
0.52
00:24:45.380like my number one fan aren't you you're always sending me that would make me seem like a dirty
00:24:52.660old man since i have children all of my children i don't know now i've got a couple children younger
0.61
00:24:59.080than you but the rest of them are older than you so no i can't but you are irish and you're tall
00:25:05.200and you're smart and you're uh working hard so there's a lot to be proud of there so i don't
00:25:10.060know if i'd call you my number call me your number one fan but i'm probably up there better
00:25:14.820not nobody be talking bad about pearl because i am a redneck and you know we can be crazy
00:25:19.780you can be crazy you guys are in alabama right right well yeah but let me give you a little
00:25:26.880uh caveat there pearl we're in south alabama we're down here on the beaches so we're down here
00:25:33.440alabama has two ends they have the end up there by tennessee that is like uh huntsville which is
00:25:39.600the space industry okay and then down here on the coast we have ship building and chemical plants
00:25:44.640and a lot of tourism and in between that's where the people live that um they have cousins and
00:25:52.800stuff we're there in between in between alabama that's where you know your aunt might also be
00:25:59.200your cousin or your sister or something you never know but that's alabama but i do live down here on
00:26:03.680the go coast so uh yeah is it true what they say about alabama that it's the sweet home alabama yeah
00:26:13.440no the cousins oh well i think it might be i don't know i mean when you get there around
00:26:20.560opelica montgomery or up there where it's trees and you drive forever there's not even a gas station
00:26:27.200i drive through there i don't slow down but we can still look down on mississippi which is just
00:26:33.040to the west of us which is where i'm originally from so at any rate to your question uh should
00:26:40.000you marry your best friend and you know i've told you before deidre and i have been married for 33
00:26:46.000years uh i've been putting up with her for 35 years it took me about a year to run a trap on
00:26:52.560her so she finally married me but you know back in 1990 when you uh when you got somebody pregnant
00:26:58.880the right thing to do was to get married and that's what i did so i knew as soon as i could
00:27:02.640get her knocked up we could hook up and that's what we did and we've had five kids since then
00:27:07.840and to be honest with you it's a very complicated question because we we really need to ask ourselves
00:27:14.640pearl what did what does a person mean by this wife this husband is my best friend
00:27:22.080i think from the woman's side when they say oh this is my best team they're thinking about
00:27:26.160somebody they can be cutesy with they'd be silly with and they don't have to worry about their
00:27:31.440best friend telling them they're getting fat or they're being stupid about something
00:27:36.000so if that's if that's the case then no a man should never marry his best friend if
00:27:40.640if he's not going to be holding her accountable and um but on the other hand you think i would
00:27:46.960think the best friend would be the ride or die person the person that's going to put up with you
00:27:52.560when you're being nothing but shitty really you know uh that your best friend's the one that's
00:27:59.040going to be committed to you to be with you when you're not being very friendly and aren't very
00:28:02.560deserving so i mean i think in that case you need to marry somebody that is going to be your best
00:28:07.760friend but that doesn't mean that you're you're just all fun and games because the problem i
00:28:14.240think with the mindset that you need to marry someone who's your best friend is people change
00:28:20.480best friends throughout their lives this was a problem my oldest daughter i had trouble getting
00:28:25.920her to understand when she was younger and i'm still not sure she understands it and that is that
00:28:32.160women talk about oh this is my best friend my bestie together forever and then like next week
0.98
00:28:39.440they'll be pissed off at their best friend and she'll be the lowdown good for nothing
1.00
00:28:43.920hoochie mama and all that sort of stuff so i mean that's what i think is really dangerous about
00:28:48.960saying that you should marry your best friend because best friends are really temporary you
00:28:54.400know when a man and a woman get married they're getting married if they're christians of course
00:28:59.600they're supposed to be one flesh there's supposed to be one flesh you know together forever all that
00:29:04.400kind of stuff i'm a redneck i can't say i'm sorry but that's the best i can do but you understand
00:29:09.600what i'm saying so if i marry your best friend if that person means someone that you're going to
00:29:14.400join to and you're going to stick with together forever to death do your part i used to tell
00:29:19.760deidre that if she dies before me i'm climbing in the hole behind her okay in that regard we're best
00:29:26.640friends on the other hand sometimes deedra gets a little sideways you know how y'all will do
00:29:33.840you know how you women will do y'all wake up some mornings and you hate the world
0.91
00:29:39.120and sometimes i have to do what i call using my big voice on her
1.00
00:29:44.240you know from that movie chicken little remember that movie chicken yeah yeah near the end of the
00:29:50.480alien and then the alien mother comes and says don't use your big voice on me uh sometimes i
00:29:57.520have to use my big voice on her and sometimes i have to sometimes say things to her in that big
1.00
00:30:03.680voice that some people feminists might say we're abusive but i mean she can tell you that in those
1.00
00:30:11.280times if i don't use my big voice on her just basically stand up and say hey we are friends
1.00
00:30:18.640but we're not equals in this relationship one of us is a leader here if i wasn't willing to do that
00:30:25.600she would likely go off the rails and she would probably tell you that so so i think that being
00:30:33.440able to stand up and be best friends enough with your wife to tell her to shut up i think is an
00:30:40.720example of being a best friend but about best friend it means i had a you know i'm a realtor
00:30:46.320in south alabama exp realty dave snyder give me a call i have a realtor i'm a realtor and i have
00:30:51.920a realtor friend uh young young friend about your age and she was uh we were having a discussion
00:30:58.320one time about relationships and uh she said to me i said that i wasn't really concerned about
00:31:04.640deedra's happiness that's another thing best friends want you to stay happy and uh this young
00:31:11.680lady said uh oh dang you know that uh that if miss deirdre wanted something to be happy or needed to
00:31:17.920be you know something to be happy that you do whatever it would take to make her happy she
00:31:24.320says that because she she sees deirdre and me together and we get along really really good
00:31:29.200you know and uh we do now uh there's been a lot of screaming and cussing to get here though
00:31:34.240but uh and like i told her i explained her i said i'm not interested in deirdre's happiness at all
00:31:40.240it's not anywhere near the top of my uh list it's not even on the list for the most part and uh we
