A
Yeah, the Tex Mex here rocks.
B
I've heard. I've heard. Yeah. I've only been here once before. I did Vulcan Gas Company on 6th street last year, like last October. And it was really fun.
A
Yeah, Vulcan was really great before the mothership opened.

Thanks.
A
Here are some appetizer questions. So you're engaged?
B
I am.
A
How long have you been engaged?
B
Oh, a month. Month. A month.
A
Okay.
B
Like a little over a month. Yeah. Shit. Is that, like, important?
A
Really?
B
I just forget the dates. It was exactly, but it was okay. A little over a month.
A
About a month, yeah. How long have you been with her?
B
Five months.
A
No, you haven't. So you've been with her for five months and you've been engaged for one?
B
Yeah.
A
So y'all were together for four months before you got engaged?
B
Yeah, pretty much.
A
Are you always this impulsive?
B
Yeah, I'm. I'm. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
A
You said yes, which is an impulsive answer.
B
Exactly. I'm not impulsive in. I am impulsive generally, but I'm not impulsive. Like, I'm not like, this isn't my fourth engagement type of thing.
A
This is your first engagement?
B
First and last and only.
A
Yes.
B
Yeah.
A
And how many long term, like, serious relationships have you been in before this?
B
Like, three.
A
How long were those?
B
Over a year. Less than two.
A
Okay, so. All right. So the longest relationship you've ever had is like a year?
B
No, it was like. Like just under two years.
A
Okay.
B
So, yeah, basically, I have. I've done a few podcasts in the past few weeks, and it's the topic that we talk about, and every time I. It's the same face. You give the same face from five months, they go, oh, okay, like, congrats. But also why? And there's no way to explain it other than just we. I met her and it was just like, right away we're like, oh, we're together. And it was just the easiest thing I've easy decision ever made.
A
So she feels like your soulmate.
B
Yeah. Truly.
A
How did you guys meet?
B
Social media. She was the bachelorette a few years ago, and so she has a big following on social media.
A
Okay.
B
And then she followed me, liked a few of my things. It kind of came up in my priority list. And I'm like, who's this? This girl's pretty. I clicked on her profile. I didn't see any bachelorette stuff. It doesn't say it in her bio. But then, you know, I just looked at her profile and thought she was cute. And I'm like, if you're ever in New York, let me know. And she said, I'm scared of New York. If you're ever in la, let me know. And then we didn't really talk. It was just like a quick thing. And then I messaged her, or she messaged me because I was in la. And I didn't hit her up, but that was because I. I fell down in Hawaii. And I was in the hospital for a few days in la. So I returned from Hawaii, I had a cut. It turned into a big thing. Ended up being in the hospital. And she was messaging me while I was in the hospital, saying, hey, why don't you let me know you're in la? I'm like, oh, I'm actually in the hospital right now. And she offered to come bring me soup and all this stuff. And, like, can I come visit you? We haven't met yet. I'm like, no, not here. Not like this. I hadn't shaved in four days. I was in the hospital bed. And then we just started talking and texting for a month straight. And that first night we were texting, I was like, I really like this girl. Like, just talking to her. And then a month later, we met. So May 5, we met in person after talking for a month, and then it was just, like, right away. We both felt it.
A
Do you guys live together In February?
B
She's moving to New York.
A
Okay, so you've never actually lived together?
B
No.
A
Okay, so want to take, like, 400 steps back?
B
Okay.
A
So I actually want to know about this fall in Hawaii.
B
Okay. That's just a quick story. I was stopping somebody from falling, and I fell with them instead.
A
Okay.
B
I went to go stop this girl from falling off a sidewalk. Chivalrous, I think. So she messaged me, like, saying, thank you again for saving my head, because I did put my hand behind her head, so it stopped her from hitting her head on the ground.
A
Wow.
B
And it cut my hand open. And then I.
A
You saved someone's life.
B
I think so. I like to think so.
A
You're a hero.
B
Yeah.
A
Okay. I'm glad that we went back to that. That was worth it.
B
Yeah.
A
And so did you. So she slid in your DMs or you slid in hers?
B
I technically did hers. She followed me, like, my stuff. I dm.
A
Noticed her.
B
She said, like, oh, were. You weren't, like, necessarily hitting on me? I go, not really. I was kind of vibing it out. Like, obviously, if you were just some random guy that followed me with and liked my stuff, I probably wouldn't have been like, let me know if you're ever in New York.
A
Yeah.
B
But there was slight intention. But it was also like, if you would have been like, I'm gonna. You know, I'm gonna be visiting New York with my boyfriend, I wouldn't be like, well, then forget it. I'd be like, all right, cool. Yeah, you guys can come to a show. It wouldn't have been weird, you know?
A
Yeah.
B
Just kind of vibing it out. And then we just started talking and it was just cake. It was just the easiest. She's the easiest person to talk to. For me. Like, I'm. I'm myself. My sisters say that. She's like, they're like, it's the first time you're with a girl like that you brought home that you're like, just. You're still yourself. You're still Jeff. You're not like, trying to be like, cooler than you are, you know, which has been a fault of mine.
A
How many times have you seen her in real life?
B
Like, if you want to count, like a stint. Like, if we, like if I went to her place for like two weeks straight. Yeah. I was. Went to go visit her for four days and then her cat got sick and so she. We ended up putting her cat down and I. So I canceled a bunch of shows. Not like road shows, just like comedy seller, like showcase spots. I canceled them and I stayed with her for like another week to like, be with her when.
A
Yeah, that's really sad.
B
And I got from people like, your girlfriend's cat died and you had to cancel. I go, yeah, because honestly, in a year from now, I'm not going to be like, I wish I had those spots.
A
You know, I'm gonna.
B
I'd be like, oh, I probably should have been there for my now fiance, my now wife, you know?
A
Yeah.
B
So. But we. We had long since of like, seeing each other. Like, we'll be like two weeks straight and then we'll take like two weeks off and then it'll be like a week together. And like we went to Hawaii and then we took a week off. And then she came to visit me with my family recently, this past week. And then I'm going to LA next week. I'm gonna see her.
A
And have you met her family?
B
Yeah, she met mine, I met hers.
A
And how are they?
B
Great. They're.
A
She likes your family too?
B
She loves my family. She did something really cool recently. She's. We're. Because we're doing like a destination, I think for ours, like Northern California or something. So a lot of my family won't make it, like my cousins and stuff. So my mom wanted to have an engagement party in Michigan where they live, so she's like, let's do it, you know. And my sisters and my mom were looking at venues.
A
Okay.
B
And my. Katie only met my family. Once, briefly, for a few days. And so she decided to surprise them and me and just flew to Michigan to look at venues and to get to know my sisters and my mom better for, like, four days. I thought that was really cool. And it was like, a show of, like, you know, making an effort to get integrated into my family.
A
Yeah. Does she have any siblings?
B
Yeah, sister.
A
Okay.
B
And that's it. And then she's got, like, her. Oh, I'm gonna mess this up. Her technical ants are, like, closer to her age because it's a little bit more of a mix. Like, the family is, like, you know, separated and married other people, and then they had kids, and those kids are younger, and.
A
Yeah.
B
You know, so it's a little complicated. But she's not. I don't think she's as. Like, she's very. She loves her family very much. We talk about her family. Talk about my family. But I'm very, Like, I never miss Christmas. I always. You know, I'm always there for, like, several times a year. You know what I mean? Like, that's really important to me. Like, Christmas is really important. As. As opposed to her family. It's not as much.
A
Yeah. We're gonna get into some main course questions now. Well, I know it's hard to kind of pick out things that you don't like about someone when it's not been that long because you're still in this, like, honeymoon phase.
B
Yeah.
A
But is there anything about her that drives you nuts? A little bit. Like, any pet peeves?
B
Oof. I don't. I. I'm trying to think of one. I'm trying to think of one.
A
Usually you don't really find that out until you're, like, in, like, a year and a half and you. And it's easier when you live with someone.
B
It's. I. Yeah. Yeah. There's probably. I'm probably gonna find some things out. Like, I want to get to know my wife.
A
Well, to be honest, it's like you were kind of a contestant on the Bachelor.
B
Yeah. And this is what you get when you lose.
A
You know? I mean, clearly, she was looking for someone that she could meet and marry.
B
Yeah.
A
So you seem like her type.
B
Yeah, we both have, like, an anxious attachment style is what she says. That's what she calls it, where we both, like, kind of need the validation of talking to each other a lot. And so it works out because we both like that.
A
So is she gonna move to New York?
B
Yeah. February.
A
Even though she's scared of New York.
B
Yeah.
A
Okay.
B
See, that's sacrifice.
A
That is. I mean, but it's also New York. It's hard for me to think that anyone is sacrificing anything.
B
And we're getting a new apartment for us.
A
She gets move out of la.
B
That's the trick. You're welcome for a year.
A
Yeah.
B
So it's not like it's a huge uprooting, you know what I mean? As compared to, you know, I've been in New York. I grew up in New York, but I've been back in New York for, like, eight years, you know.
A
What does she do?
B
Well, she was reality tv. So she was doing Bachelorette then. She did. Well, she was the Bachelor, then she was in the Bachelorette. Then she did, like, Fboy island and all that.
A
So she's a reality TV star.
B
Yes. Now she's not doing that as much, obviously. Can't really be on dating.
A
Yeah, no, she can't go on like, the Bachelor anymore.
B
Yeah, exactly. You're right. But she is, like, doing brand deals and she's trying to figure out her next path right now, which is fine. I mean, I'm like, do whatever you need to do, you know, because we're talking about, you know, family and. And, you know, I think that her moving to New York, I. She should give herself a minute to acclimate before being like, I'm going to start a new career in LA and then move to New York in six months.
A
Yeah.
B
You know.
A
So what did y'all's first date in person look like?
B
Beverly Hills Hotel. My manager set it up. I took credit for it. It was the day of my first. The Netflix is a joke festival.
A
Okay.
B
It was. I had two shows there at the. Forget the name of the theater. But it was. We had two shows that night, and I hadn't met her in person yet, and she was coming to the shows, so I was like, let's meet for lunch. So we met for brunch. She flew from Vegas because she won a poker tournament in Vegas.
A
Oh, she plays poker?
B
Yeah, but not, like, professionally. But she won the celebrity poker tournament, like, was on it. Like, a few people were on it. And she won the whole thing and then flew back, like, four hours after winning to make sure she can get home and get ready to meet me for the first time.
A
Did she pay for lunch?
B
No, I did.
A
I'm just saying because she won't.
B
Yeah, right.
A
It should have been on her.
B
She. They gave her, like, it was a good. A great amount of money, but then it was also. They gave her, like, this bottle of like, liquor. It was like a crystal thing and she didn't know it's worth. And so she's like the guy that drove her to the hotel. She goes, oh, I only have a carry on. So you could, if you want, this bottle of alcohol. I don't want to drink this stuff. The guy freaked out, was like, are you serious? Thank you so much. It was like a $12,000 bottle of alcohol.
A
Wow.
B
And she gave it. She's like, I had no idea.
A
What a ding dong.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's. She's also so sweet and so kind that that's the type of stuff that she does. And I could just. I. Yeah, there's. I don't see anything that. Anything that. In the relationship that would come out. I don't see it would come out. Like, it would be out by now. The type of person that she is, you know, I don't know. I think it's. I think it's going to work out.
A
No, I'm not saying that it's not going to work out, but you have to know the things that are wrong with someone and how to, like.
B
Oh, accept their flaws.
A
Yeah. Like, that's a pivotal part of, like, relationships, you know? And honestly, it keeps things interesting because if someone was perfect all the time and everything was like, they were just so wonderful, no one would like you.
B
Yeah.
A
It's not a real.
B
Yeah. I don't see. But I don't really know anything. Like, I've had relationships where I'm like, oh, this is something that's annoying. Like, girlfriends that were just, like, mean for no reason just because they thought that'd be, like, what I'd like.
A
Does she have any vices? Does she drink a lot?
B
No.
A
Do you?
B
No.
A
Do you smoke weed? Anything?
B
Vape? Yeah.
A
Okay.
B
Stop doing that.
A
Yeah. Only high schoolers should do that.
B
Yeah. Well, I'm cool and most of my friends are in high school, so it's fine.
A
It's okay. Some vapes taste really good. Before I was pregnant, I would like. I liked a strawberry one, but it would make me cough and I'd get lightheaded. And then I think I would get like a uti. And so I stopped from vape. Yeah, vape can, like, seriously you up.
B
You're saying it's affecting my penis?
A
Well, smoking can severely affect a female's vagina.
B
Really?
A
Absolutely.
B
I don't got one of those.
A
Yeah, like cervical cancer. And like, that is sometimes caused by smoking. Okay, but that. We don't need to talk about that. That's gross.
B
Sure. Yeah.
A
Yeah.
B
Let's talk strawberry. That's good. That's good flavor.
A
So you vape and then you. Right. Imagine if I see tastes like that. Like, I like. Oh, it's kind of like whenever they lie and they're like, oh, if a guy eats pineapple, his cum tastes like that.
B
Sure. If you could you imagine that'd be vape would sell more if they're like way more. Choose your flavor.
A
Yeah. Made like enhanced your pussy flavor.
B
Yeah.
A
That's crazy. This is a million dollar idea.
B
It is.
A
Okay, so you don't really drink that much. You smoke a vape. Drugs, Weed. Weed. It doesn't count.
B
I'll take an edible a few nights a week.
A
Yeah, that's just. That's just easy.
B
Fun to play video games. But me and her play video games together, which is like, oh, so sick.
A
Oh, y'all are gonna like nerd out and be those couples.
B
Yeah, we play like a little farming games together. Long. We're doing long distance. We have. I bought our Steam deck and. Which is like a big Nintendo Switch.
A
Okay.
B
Play like computer games on it. And it's got the joysticks and stuff, but we put our headsets in and we can talk like we're on the phone. But while we're doing that, we're like farming.
A
So you guys are like, what is that movie where they have the. They meet in the. In the world there. They put on like the Oculus and then.
B
Ready, player one?
A
Yeah.
B
Okay. Yeah.
A
So y'all are like dating in the. The alternate universe. Y'all are. Ready, player one?
B
A little bit. Yeah. It's a little bit weird though, because like, we're playing a game right now. It's called Grounded, but it's like kids in the backyard, like, where it's. Honey, I shunk the kids. Where everything is like tiny or everything's huge, but you're tiny, but they're like kids. So she's like, oh, come give me a kiss. I'm like, these are 12 year olds. Maybe we shouldn't do that. But it's. Yeah, it's just so fun. Like, we get along like. Like I've had been in relationships where I was like, I've had to not lie, but omit that. I'm going to go play the games. Like, play some like fortnite with my boys.
A
Yeah.
B
And so I'd be like, hey, I got to get some work done. And the whole time I'm like, all right, talk to you soon. All right, I'm back. What's going on guys? Now I'm like, I'm going to play fortnite with the boys that she knows them and she'll be like cool, have fun and then let me know when you're done, you know? Yeah, like I don't. I have nothing. I hide nothing from her. Not like I hide a lot of things, but I hide nothing from her. We talk about everything.

If we do have an argument or like a slight tiff, we'll like talk about it. Like vibe out like what happened there? You know she got mad at me one night, one day because she said because I think before I speak a lot. And it was. We were on the phone, and she was just having a bad day. And it was something along the lines of, like, she. She just goes like, I just kind of. I think. I can't. We're not having a good conversation right now. We should probably recap this.
A
What was the conversation?
B
It was. It was like a. Not. It was about, like, all the travel coming up that I have and figuring out her flights with my flights and how I have an assistant that does that. Like, my sister is my assistant, but she, like, organizes. I go, just text her that. And then she goes, I don't want to go through her. I want to talk to you about it right now. Whatever it was. But whatever happened was she goes, all right, honestly, our vibes are off right now. We should probably just talk in a little bit of an hour. Because I don't think us talking right now is going to be like. We're just kind of combative right now. And I said out loud. I go, jesus. Like that. And she. And it was. I talked to her like, 30 minutes later, and she's like, you can't do that. I go, what? And she goes, react to my, like, my attitude of, like, if I say something and you're upset, you can't be like, God damn. And then hang the phone up because you didn't say goodbye. You go, jesus. And then hung the phone up. And it was like, that type of thing is like, that's more of a learning thing, you know? Like, it wasn't really even an argument. It was just like, our vibe's off. Let's talk soon. And me being like, God damn. You know?
A
Yeah.
B
But that's like. It was like, our worst argument we ever had.
A
Yeah.
B
Five months in, we got some. We're gonna have some, you know?
A
Yeah, of course. Do you guys like to sleep at the same temperature?
B
She gets cold quick. But I think that's most women.
A
Oh.
B
Is like, I would like to have it colder. And she's like, it's freezing in here, you know?
A
Yeah.
B
But other than that, she's an early riser. I'm not.
A
Okay.
B
That's kind of great because, like, the times I've slept, like, at her house, I wake up to breakfast an hour after she's been up.
A
And how does she deal with you doing, like, shows at night and being on the road a lot?
B
Fine. We have a good system. Like, we talk a lot throughout the day. Like, hours and hours throughout the day. Like, if I'm getting ready, I'll have Her on speakerphone and we'll just be chatting. But she's used to it, at least on. We're going into the relationship with that. Like, we're going long distance and travel and she's gonna come with me on the world tour next year. Like, we're gonna. Australia and stuff, so she's gonna come with me. I couldn't imagine doing that alone. Like, I'd want her to be there and experience that for the first time with her, you know?
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah.
A
Do you believe in astrology?
B
Yes. I would say no. You know, like, not. I wouldn't. What I would say for the. For conversation's sake. Yes. But if it came down to, like, if money on the line. Do Scorpios always do this? No, I don't think that.
A
Yeah.
B
I don't think that it's based on anything real.
A
Okay.
B
So. No. But I do, like, I also believe in, like, some superstitious too. Like, I don't split the pole. I don't do any of that stuff. And I'm okay with it maybe not being real, but I like my superstitions, so I get it.
A
What. So what are. So some of the superstitions that you're into are, like, you don't split the pole if you're holding hands. If you spill salt, do you, like, throw something over your shoulder? If you break a mirror, do you have bad luck?
B
It would scare me if I broke a mirror. I'd probably be like, you know, like.
A
Oh, like seven years. That's a long time of bad luck.
B
I will. Do I get a weird thing with littering and picking up coins? Yeah. Okay. So that's not even a real. That's not superstition. I think that's just past trauma that I'm remembering littering. I just. I cannot. I'll never litter because in my head, I think, like, if I, like, drop a piece of plastic and it rolls away, like, even if it's a tiny little piece of a gum wrapper and it, like, I have to go chase it down and pick it up and throw it away. Otherwise I believe that's bad karma and I'll have a bad show that night if I litter.
A
Okay.
B
Which is just dumb. That's me. The coins thing is my friend. I told my friend this in confidence that I always pick up coins if I see them.
A
Yeah.
B
To not be wasteful. Because when I was, like, eight, my. I was flicking a nickel in, like, a gravel parking lot with my dad, and then it. I couldn't find it. So I Go, whatever. And he, like, smacked the back of my head. He's like, you get on your all fours, you find the coin. You don't waste money like that. So I told my buddy that in confidence. And whenever we hang out, he throws change on the ground. And, like, I can't tell you these things because then he exploits it. And, like, he's like, oh, yeah, get these pennies like that. And I'll throw on the ground. I'm like, please don't do this. Yeah, so I can't knock astrology when I do shit like that all the time.
A
You know, I actually have a similar story with the coins. So when I was younger as well, I was walking with my mom, and my mom was like, hey, there's a penny if you want to pick that up. And I was like, no, I don't want to. Yeah, like, it's a penny. What's the penny going to ever do to me? And she was like, oh, really? Okay, well, how about this? From now on, when we see change on the ground, we're going to pick it up and we're going to save it. We're going to put in a jar, and we're going to see how much money a penny here and there can actually be. And so I don't know if it was like a year or nine months or whatever it was, but there was, like, 75 bucks.
B
That's such a funny comparison to how much better you were trained to pick up coins. My dad smacked my head, and now I'm like, I always have to pick up coins. You're like, yeah, but I learned a valuable life's lesson that made 75.
A
No, but now I have, like, this weird thing where I also pick up coins in, I would say, 99 of situations. Sometimes, like, there's like, yeah, I won't.
B
Yeah, you know, there's places I won't.
A
There's some coins that deserve to stay there.
B
If I wouldn't touch the floor, I wouldn't, you know. Yeah, like a penny on an airplane. No, thanks. Like, if it's on the. Like on this. The ground there.
A
Also, like, the aisle is so small. I don't Even. If you can. If you can honestly reach a penny on the ground, you deserve it.
B
I had. I just thought. I always play with my ring. I have, like, a ring. You have a lucky ring, but astrology's. But I have a lucky ring.
A
Why is this ring lucky?
B
I stepped on it at a pivotal moment in my career. Right after something cool happened for me, I stepped on It. And then I just always wear it. And things have always done well for me after that. So I just attribute to that.
A
Yeah.
B
I had a lady in the plane. I have adhd. I was playing with it. And this lady, she was a. Like, a scared flyer on the airplane next to me flying here, like, grabbing the seat, yelping whenever, like, there's turbulence, she'd be like. Like that. And she's like, sorry, I'm one of those flyers. I'm like, it's okay. I don't mind. And at one point, she leans over and she goes. At the. When we're leaving the plane, she goes, are you a poker player? And I'm like, I. I know how. And she's like, I just noticed you were playing with your ring. I just couldn't help but be distracted by that.
A
I was like, okay, players, like, play with the chips.
B
Yeah. So I was doing, like, one of these, I guess.
A
Okay.
B
But what got me was, like. I was like. Was I annoying you with my fidgeting? You were screaming.
A
Well, honestly, it was probably a nice distraction.
B
It was maybe. But I feel like the way she said it was almost like, ugh. This whole flight, you were playing with your ring. I'm like, quietly.
A
Yeah, you loud, anxious Chihuahua.
B
Yeah, yeah. Then I pushed her forward, away with my finger.
A
Her. All right, so let's see here. Do you cook?
B
I can. I can make noodles and chicken.
A
Does your fiance cook?
B
Yes, she cooks very well.
A
Okay, so that'll be a plus. We're into that. Does she exercise?
B
Yeah.
A
Do you.
B
Yeah, she was on a. She's bought a walking mat. It's like. It's like a treadmill.
A
Oh, okay.
B
There's no barriers.
A
Yeah, no, it's just. Influencers use those to change outfits.
B
That's.
A
They, like, walk on those, and they, like, wear different outfits if.
B
Oh, to, like. And then. But they don't show the feet, so it looks like.
A
So it just looks like they're just walking.
B
Pretty cool.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah. She, like, does that for exercise. And I'm like, I feel like a light jog for half the time would make more sense, but I don't really know much about it. Yeah, but she does that, and then she. Yeah, she. She does volleyball and sports and stuff like that, you know?
A
Did you guys hook up the first time you met up in person?
B
Not the first night, no.
A
But the first, like, time you were there, were you only there for a.
B
Night, like, three nights and. Yes.
A
Okay. Yeah. I mean, I don't know what that means, but hell, yeah.
B
Bro.
A
Okay.
B
It's actually my wife. No, we didn't hook up the first night because we wanted to take it sl.
A
So you just hooked up the next night?
B
Second night.
A
Yeah, second night.
B
That was all good.
A
Pretty slow. Yeah, it's. I mean, it must have been really good to hook you.
B
Yeah, I mean, both of us, you know, I think we both did a great job.
A
Do you have good congrats?
B
You know, I just go out there and try and give 100% every single time.
A
Yeah. Do you have any fetishes?
B
Oh, that was a quick, steep climb.
A
We're 25 minutes into this. I need to know.
B
I don't think so.
A
You don't think so?
B
I don't think I. I mean, no.
A
What's your favorite position?
B
Regular old missionary.
A
You like to be on top?
B
Oh, yeah.
A
Does she like that?
B
Yeah.
A
Is she a starfish? No, she's active.
B
Yeah.
A
That's good.
B
Yeah, it's. It's. It's really great. We actually. I have a whole new, like, chunk. I start my sets out now. Talking about. She recorded us on accident recently. She has a. She has a cat camera, like a furbo.
A
Oh, okay.
B
And it was going off. It was like sending into her phone. Like, it was like, your cat's kind of going crazy right now. And it kept sending 10 second clips, like, to her phone. And so we finished hooking up and then she's looking at her phone, laughing. She's like, our furbo kept sending me clips and then she sent them to me thinking I would be happy with this footage. Like, she sent them to me as if I'd look at myself having sex and be like, wow, that's a stud. That guy's killing it.
A
He's hot.
B
I saw that footage and made seven changes to game. Like, I didn't know you could have bad posture during sex until I saw myself. I started. I made her shave my back. After that, I didn't like, you know, how hairy your back has to be for a 3 megapixel camera to pick it up on a shelf 20ft away? It was. It's gross. I hated that I made so many changes. Yeah.
A
Yeah. I mean, you also never know how your butt looks.
B
It's white. It's so much whiter than you think. And she was on top too. And I was. I was. I was like this. I was having sex underneath her. That sounds weird. Like I was doing it separately, but I was underneath her with my hands like this, like, just chilling on my chest like a vampire. And I remember watching it, like, yelling at myself like, it was game tape. I'm like, do something with your hand. Why are you doing. Like. I was yelling at myself through these.
A
And she's like, football coaching yourself.
B
Yeah. And she's like, volume up, like. And I'm like, I don't know. There's volume, too. I don't want to hear me going, you know, I don't want. Because you have to have a different voice, and I don't want to hear what I sound like it was. I still have the footage. I'll show you after.
A
No, that's okay. I believe you.
B
I just want to put in, like. I want to do, like, America's Funniest Home Videos. Like, voiceover with. With. With Bob Saget. Just being like, he thought this was gonna be a good time. And then it's just the. God, it was so embarrassing. I did not like that footage at all. But she. She looks at it, and it's like, look how sexy we are.
A
Yeah. When she was seducing you, did she have hot lingerie?
B
Shit. Yes. No. Yes.
A
You don't have to ask me.
B
I don't remember. I don't remember the first time we hooked up being like. It wasn't like a presentation, you know, it was just like, make. Like.
A
She wasn't, like, putting on a show.
B
No, she was.
A
Y'all were just, like, going home and just taking each other's clothes off.
B
Yeah. Just got right to it.
A
Just cash.
B
Total cash.
A
Totally cash.
B
Yeah.
A
Has she done anything to like, seduce you? Like, dress up or anything? Like leather, lace, or anything, like, extra hot?
B
No. She will, though. I know she will.
A
Well, usually on, like, a honeymoon, that should happen for sure.
B
Yeah. She did bring lingerie once somewhere, and then she never put it on. I didn't earn it, I guess.
A
Well, sometimes you just beat them to the punch.
B
Yeah. Well, I had lingerie on, so I think it was probably why she didn't. She wanted, you know, embarrassing that would be wearing the same thing.
A
So how long. When is the next time you guys are gonna see each other?
B
Gonna see her in next week. I'm doing a show. I'm doing something in LA for two days, so I'm gonna go stay with her. We're gonna hang out, get dinner, and then I have to, like, record the next day, and then I fly out the day after that. And then after that, we're going to see my. We're going to do an engagement party in Michigan with my family in, like, three weeks after that, so we have, like, little breaks. But we handle it well. And I also like my solitude, too.
A
Yeah.
B
So that's why I don't mind the road. I never minded doing that stuff because I, like, I think time by yourself is important.
A
Yeah. So have you farted in front of her?
B
Yeah, she did first. It was so funny. She could have got away with it if it wasn't for those damn kids. No, she. She could have gotten away with it easily. She's at the end of the bed at a hotel. I remember the moment, and it was a cute. It was just like a. Like that. It was like a quick one. But I remember I was on my phone laying on the bed, like. And she was at the head of the bed or the toe of the bed, foot of the bed, and I just hear it. And then she. If she would have kept walking, I would have been like, oh, she dubbed her toe or put her. Kicked her shoe. But she was, like, walking. And she goes like that. And, like, looked right at me. And I go, oh, was that far? And she goes, no, I've never farted ever. And I was like, you've never farted ever? And it was the funniest thing I've. I laughed so hard, and it honestly made me love her even more.
A
And now. And then you.
B
Oh, that's my fetish. No. Okay.
A
Could you imagine? You bottle them. Some people do that.
B
No. Really?
A
Oh, yeah. It's like an only fancy thing. There's like, a girl that is making crazy money. She's farting in a jar and then puts the Mason jar, like, top on top of it. And then she sells her farts in a jar, so. And you can actually open it up and smell her fart.
B
Really? How do you know?
A
I don't, but the reviews online are wild.
B
Really? And they're like, oh, this is a.
A
But people are bottling everything. People are bottling their bath water, their tears. You can buy underwear.
B
Underwear, to me, is probably the least crazy of that all.
A
That's so gross.
B
It is really gross. But I'm. But you. Compared to bottled farts?
A
Yeah.
B
You know what I mean.
A
But at least the bottle of fart is, like, so much more unique.
B
You're gonna make an argument for bottle farts being sexier than used underwear?
A
No, I'm not. Well, yeah. You think so? Because I guess I'm more of a scent person. I would rather know what you smell like than what your pussy is doing in your underwear.
B
Okay. Yeah. For me, I don't want any of it. You know, I'm just a classic Vagina and boobs guy.
A
Do you prefer boobs or butt?
B
I don't.
A
What?
B
It's funny answering these questions, keeping my fiance in mind. I prefer, but it doesn't matter to me. I've never. I've dated a fat butt. I've dated big boobs.
A
You've had it all. You've had it all. How did you propose to her?
B
On a beach in Hawaii.
A
Okay.
B
Yeah. We were initially just going on vacation because my tour is coming. Is starting now.
A
Like, you seem to like Hawaii a lot.
B
Oddly enough, I'm gonna be there three times within a year, and I've never been there before. I went the first time in April.
A
And you cut your hand.
B
Yep. And then I went again with her just now, like, two weeks ago. Three. A month ago.
A
A month ago.
B
And we got engaged. And then I'm going again in, like, February for Maui, like, Valentine's Day, but I'm doing shows there. And so, yeah, I went to Hawaii with her because I always wanted to do, like, hiking and all that stuff in Hawaii. And so we got to do it proper this time. And it was the first day we rented an Airbnb, so it was like our own place. And then we went to a place called Secret Beach. Like 8am the first morning, went to the beach, walked down to the water, and then I said, let's bring your phone. Like, I'll do a photo together down here. And she goes, oh, this is perfect. I have my tripod. And she goes, what we can do is just take video and choose the best frame. Frame of that. And I was like, that's even better because now I can propose and she'll.
A
Have it on camera.
B
Yep.
A
She. She hooked it up.
B
It worked out great. And she did not have any idea.
A
So you guys were hiking? Well, yeah. So she was shocked.
B
Yeah. She didn't believe it. Even though she had an idea. She had an idea that she was gonna get proposed to because we talked about it. She picked the ring out.
A
She's clearly looking to get married if she's on the Bachelorette.
B
Yeah. And I'm looking to be more serious.
A
Yeah. You know, that's good.
B
Yeah. Like, I like, you know, I honestly, just. When I'm done with my shows, I want to go back to my room and call my wife. That's. That's really the. The better of.
A
Yeah.
B
I don't want to go out to a bar or, like, go home to my room, like, alone and be like, that was fun. I hope tomorrow's fun too. I want, like, to share this.
A
Is that a Kermit the Frog voice here?
B
It sure is.
A
Okay.
B
Kermit the Frog here. That's pretty good.
A
That was good. So you. So you got it on camera? She said yes, and the rest is history.
B
Yeah.
A
Wow, that's cute. What a love story.
B
It's. Honestly, it's. It's easy decision. It. None of it scares me at all. It makes sense.
A
Yeah.
B
I've never dated somebody that was as much of a friend as she is.
A
Yeah.
B
Like. Which is really important. I really. I've dated people long term because, like, I was just like, this is the type of person I should be with. And then I just didn't enjoy their company, and I found myself, like, not looking forward to the being around them, you know?
A
Yeah. Well, you found your soulmate.
B
I got her.
A
So you're. So you're going on tour?
B
Yep.
A
You're doing the damn thing? She's gonna come with you a little bit.
B
Yeah.
A
Where can people find you?
B
Jeffrey.com is like all my links to all my stuff, but we have a cool subreddit, which is really awesome, where I post clips there, but I also post the same clips to every social media platform. So if you look at my name, Jeffrey, Carrie, you'll find me on anything.
A
Cool. Well, thank you for coming on and sharing.
B
Thanks for having me.
A
Yeah. That's so cool. This is a very original love story.
B
It is. It is.
A
Yeah. I. My, like, one of my last guests met his wife in fifth grade, so going from someone who met in fifth grade. Yeah.
B
Okay, nice. Yeah.
A
So fifth grade to five months ago, I mean.
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah. Love can really be on the spectrum.
B
That is interesting, isn't it? Yeah. I really. I'm really. I'm really rooting on for this one.
A
No, I am too. We all are.
B
He said I lost all confidence last minute of a podcast.
A
I don't know.
B
We'll see how it goes.
A
Yeah. Well, you're in it to win it, and I wish you all the best of luck.
B
Thank you very much.
A
Of course. Thank you for coming on and thank you guys so much for watching. We'll see you next time.
B
First date.

Baby, are you really drinking a glass of milk with dinner? You told your mom about me?

Just say you're ready.
A
Delete my number. First date, your parents are your roommates.
