<v Speaker 1>Jeremy, Katy and Josh six one.

<v Speaker 2>Hundred absolutely love it when you guys send us messages.

<v Speaker 3>You can reach out at any time.

<v Speaker 2>Search Jeremy, Katy Josh on Facebook and Instagram, and that's

<v Speaker 2>where this message came in on the IG from Michelle.

<v Speaker 2>She says, first of all, I have to say that

<v Speaker 2>I'm a big fan of your show.

<v Speaker 3>That's very nice. Jer been listening to you for years.

<v Speaker 2>I crack up at some of the people you talk

<v Speaker 2>to and some of the conversations you get into.

<v Speaker 3>So here's why I'm reaching out.

<v Speaker 2>Michelle says, I am forty five years old, divorced, and

<v Speaker 2>I've got.

<v Speaker 3>A twenty one year old daughter who is in college.

<v Speaker 2>She's been friends with this guy for a couple of

<v Speaker 2>years now, and he's been hanging out quite a bit lately.

<v Speaker 2>I've asked her before if they're, you know, anything else

<v Speaker 2>than just friends, but she always insists, no, no, Mom,

<v Speaker 2>we're just friends. Here's where it gets a little tricky.

<v Speaker 2>He's twenty three and very attractive. I can't ignore the

<v Speaker 2>fact that he flirts with me every now and then.

<v Speaker 4>Oh wait, hey hot mom, She wrote, so with about

<v Speaker 4>fourteen oh's so part of me is curious, and part

<v Speaker 4>of me feels like this might be a total disaster.

<v Speaker 3>Here's my delicate question.

<v Speaker 2>How awkward would it be if I started dating my

<v Speaker 2>daughter's friend?

<v Speaker 5>Oh?

<v Speaker 2>I know it's unconventional, but there's clearly some chemistry here.

<v Speaker 2>Has anyone out there actually pulled this off without ruining relationships?

<v Speaker 2>I'd love to hear if other listeners have tried this

<v Speaker 2>how it turned out? Come on, guys, Should I go

<v Speaker 2>for it? She ends by saying, be gentle and thank

<v Speaker 2>you boy.

<v Speaker 3>And that is.

<v Speaker 2>From Michelle, which is.

<v Speaker 3>She yes, says to that twenty three year.

<v Speaker 2>Old, Sell it, belly, be gentle If you would like

<v Speaker 2>to sound off about Michelle's situation, She's forty five, he's

<v Speaker 2>twenty three, but also a very good friend of her daughter's.

<v Speaker 2>There's a chemistry there, there's some attractions, So should she

<v Speaker 2>go for it? Three O three six nine one one

<v Speaker 2>mix three O three six nine one sixteen forty nine.

<v Speaker 2>Now I do have to say, Katie, and your advanced

<v Speaker 2>age got your face, Jarney, Maybe such a daughter would

<v Speaker 2>come home with a friend that's right in that ballpark

<v Speaker 2>twenty three years old?

<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

<v Speaker 5>You know?

<v Speaker 6>Is sure?

<v Speaker 3>Is that off limits? Or would you go for it now.

<v Speaker 5>I have had a long standing rule for as long

<v Speaker 5>as I can remember that I will not go after

<v Speaker 5>someone who's closer to baby Nana's.

<v Speaker 1>Age than my age.

<v Speaker 5>And that's just a rule that I have had that

<v Speaker 5>I've never broken because there's just too.

<v Speaker 3>Many here's the thing aside, I can.

<v Speaker 5>I can honestly say that when Zoe and her friends

<v Speaker 5>get around, I feel like I'm responsible for all of them.

<v Speaker 1>I am the adult, and so just that, I.

<v Speaker 5>Guess scenario will probably never change for me, and I

<v Speaker 5>just view them as such.

<v Speaker 1>But just no, just.

<v Speaker 3>Some young hot stud Remember there was.

<v Speaker 5>A time when like people were reaching out to me

<v Speaker 5>who were a little younger, even younger than.

<v Speaker 1>Josh and whatnot. And in my mind I was like, okay,

<v Speaker 1>this is kind of flattering. I like this. Da da

<v Speaker 1>da da da.

<v Speaker 5>And then we went to the gas station and I

<v Speaker 5>had to pay for his guests because his.

<v Speaker 1>Card got declined. So working radio, I can't be somebody

<v Speaker 1>sugar Mama like, yes, this can't happen. So I So

<v Speaker 1>there's always that.

<v Speaker 5>And I always think that especially the men, the men

<v Speaker 5>who were younger looking for older women, I always think

<v Speaker 5>that's just a fantasy and it's gonna go away, and

<v Speaker 5>so I'm looking for something a little more long lasting.

<v Speaker 5>But everybody's in their own boat. So that's where it's like,

<v Speaker 5>I don't want to throw too much judgment.

<v Speaker 3>Here's what we're gonna do. Phone lines are blowing up

<v Speaker 3>right now? Would you do this?

<v Speaker 2>Would what would you tell Michelle to go for this

<v Speaker 2>twenty three year old stud have some fun even though

<v Speaker 2>he's the good friend of your daughter. Or are you

<v Speaker 2>jeopardizing some major family relationships there?

<v Speaker 3>I say you go for it, get you some of

<v Speaker 3>that twenty three year old love.

<v Speaker 1>You've been married too long?

<v Speaker 2>No no, no, no, no, you're telling me, Katie, you're telling

<v Speaker 2>me what should she do? Phone lines are open three

<v Speaker 2>zho three six nine one one mix three oh three

<v Speaker 2>six nine one sixteen forty nine. If you want to

<v Speaker 2>sound off, here's Laura. Hi, Laura, Hi, Hi, good morning.

<v Speaker 3>All right, So what should Michelle do?

<v Speaker 6>So I do have to be like kind of quick

<v Speaker 6>I'm walking into work, But I think that if she

<v Speaker 6>wants to be someone younger, just go out, then that's fine.

<v Speaker 6>But if it's her daughter's friend who is like admittedly attractive,

<v Speaker 6>that her daughter's like no, we're just friends. I think

<v Speaker 6>that that's kind of like mess up to your dunge.

<v Speaker 6>She's like trying and he like to get with him.

<v Speaker 6>And then if her mom did, like that's terrible, so bad.

<v Speaker 2>I guess she'd have to have that conversation like, hey,

<v Speaker 2>is there something here that you're trying to pursue romantically?

<v Speaker 2>If not, what do you think if Mama bear gets

<v Speaker 2>some of it?

<v Speaker 6>I mean, yeah, if you have an open conversation with

<v Speaker 6>her about it. But at the same time, if her

<v Speaker 6>daughter is like nice, she'll be like, oh okay, well like, yeah, sure,

<v Speaker 6>go for it. But inside you're like screaming.

<v Speaker 3>Mom, that's gross.

<v Speaker 6>Mom.

<v Speaker 5>Wouldn't that instantly ruin their friendship regardless of whether they're

<v Speaker 5>just friends or not.

<v Speaker 3>Who the daughter and the attractive guy, it's make it stronger. No, No,

<v Speaker 3>they both love the mother. No, not at all.

<v Speaker 6>If she wants to look into younger guys, it's not

<v Speaker 6>that hard.

<v Speaker 1>There's plenty, aren't her daughter's friends?

<v Speaker 6>Right?

<v Speaker 1>I think that's a good point. Laura, Like, damn, I'm

<v Speaker 1>in the friend group.

<v Speaker 3>Laura. Are you a player?

<v Speaker 1>Don't hate the player chair.

<v Speaker 6>You're younger than me.

<v Speaker 3>So oh, look at you.

<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah, if she wants to just not her daughter's friend.

<v Speaker 2>All right, all right, rules, there are rules, I guess. Laura,

<v Speaker 2>thank you, get to work immediately. Thank you for calling.

<v Speaker 6>Yes, I am, have a good day you too.

<v Speaker 3>Everyone else hung up? Why'd you guys hang up?

<v Speaker 1>Maybe, Laura said at all.

<v Speaker 2>Three or three six nine one sixteen forty nine if

<v Speaker 2>you want to sound off, so you are still firmly

<v Speaker 2>in camp.

<v Speaker 3>You can't date a twenty three year old Katie.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean, and my thing is Zoe's friend or not.

<v Speaker 5>You know, I'm probably not going to do that just

<v Speaker 5>because it's why not?

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what's your reason?

<v Speaker 5>Because well, again I've done it. It's not that I

<v Speaker 5>haven't done it. And it's just what I felt like

<v Speaker 5>I was babysitting. I felt like, after a while, I'm like,

<v Speaker 5>I'm not going to tell you to eat vegetables. You

<v Speaker 5>should know how to do that already. I shouldn't have

<v Speaker 5>to tell you that you need a balanced plate right there.

<v Speaker 5>I shouldn't tell you that you should have enough money

<v Speaker 5>on your card to get.

<v Speaker 1>Gas, like you know.

<v Speaker 5>It just I felt like I was in such a

<v Speaker 5>mode of taking care of somebody again that but that

<v Speaker 5>was one case.

<v Speaker 2>What if you find a twenty three year old up,

<v Speaker 2>it's like really mature and I know.

<v Speaker 3>No, I bring that the age difference.

<v Speaker 1>I bring that pain for gas thing up because it's funny.

<v Speaker 5>But there are multiple men that I went on dates

<v Speaker 5>with who were younger, and I always had the feeling

<v Speaker 5>of I'm taking care of you. This doesn't feel like

<v Speaker 5>you're even attracted to Jamaica you want, No, I did it.

<v Speaker 1>That's not what I wanted to do.

<v Speaker 3>Me not what I wanted.

<v Speaker 5>They might have wanted to call me mommy, and that's

<v Speaker 5>why I wasn't into it, Like this is just a

<v Speaker 5>fantasy for you.

<v Speaker 3>Chat.

<v Speaker 7>Good morning, Good morning JKJ. How are we doing well?

<v Speaker 3>We're superdupes, buddy, Thank you for calling in.

<v Speaker 2>What do you want to say to Michelle and her

<v Speaker 2>situation with this hot twenty three year old stud.

<v Speaker 7>Yeah, Honestly, I feel like the issue is not about

<v Speaker 7>the fact that it's you know, going for a hot

<v Speaker 7>twenty three year old. I mean, you do you. The

<v Speaker 7>issue is the fact that it's her daughter's friend. I

<v Speaker 7>feel like, at the end of the day, no matter

<v Speaker 7>how it goes, whether you shoot your shot and get

<v Speaker 7>shot down, you go on a date, you go on

<v Speaker 7>a few days, or you marry the guy. No matter what,

<v Speaker 7>this will always be something that is part of her

<v Speaker 7>relationship with her daughter, because it's going to be like

<v Speaker 7>she is either going to have to deal with the

<v Speaker 7>fact that this guy is no longer going to be

<v Speaker 7>her friend. He might be her stepdad one day. Who knows,

<v Speaker 7>and I do personally, Yeah, but.

<v Speaker 3>That just put the weirdest twist on this.

<v Speaker 6>Chad.

<v Speaker 5>Remember when we were in like science class together and

<v Speaker 5>now you're my stepdad.

<v Speaker 7>Like, yeah, I mean it's very possible. It doesn't get there,

<v Speaker 7>but you know, you gotta look at all the possibilities

<v Speaker 7>if you're going for it.

<v Speaker 2>That is so funny, Jad, You know what, I've changed

<v Speaker 2>my mind on this whole thing just because of that

<v Speaker 2>one line. I don't because like having him come over

<v Speaker 2>like he's there for Christmas and Thanksgiving and no, you're right, Chad, I.

<v Speaker 3>Don't like anymore.

<v Speaker 6>Chad.

<v Speaker 2>Thank you for being the voice of reason today, for

<v Speaker 2>invoking stepdad.

<v Speaker 1>That's all you need.

<v Speaker 3>Thank you.
