Foreign. Welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World. It's been a little over a month since I offered some unsolicited advice. You know, it's one of my very favorite things to do. So we're just going to go ahead and dive in. It is a three parter today. Let's start with family meals. So, um, I, as you know, I have a 16 year old and a 20 year old, two girls, two young women and I have always valued family dinners and that has been something important to our family. Can you do it every night? No. With busy schedules and the older your kids get, the harder it is to get everyone's attention. But when you have it, when you can everyone sit down together and eat at the same place at the same time, eat the same thing? The, the family meal is one of the most important way to create a connection. And now there's new research that bears out that adolescents who are forced to sit down with the people that they can't stand most in the world, their parents, they tend to use drugs and alcohol less than kids who eat alone, which it makes you sad to think of teenagers eating alone. But if you have the ability and if you don't work nights and if your kids are there, uh, then collect everyone in the same place and have a moment of communion and accountability and conversation where you bring topics and you check in with each other and you spitball ideas and you talk about future travel, you talk about what happened with your day, give me the tea. What's going on at your school and you know, look each other in the eye, make it a dialogue, make it a conversation. You know, it's like challenge your kids to come up with topics. That's where you know, we try and talk about politics, we try and make sense of the world. Even if we have areas of disagreements, you know, it doesn't matter if we're talking about a book someone is reading, something someone is watching there. There are so many things to dissect in this world that it's really nice to do it together over a meal as a family. I have tried very hard to master the 20 minute meal because the less time it takes to prepare a meal, that means it's less stress and you are more likely to sit down together than if you are trying to create a social media masterpiece. Sometimes you can make food that is delicious that you just consume instead of photograph and at the same time you can also develop these sort of incidental safeguards that ultimately keep your kids from having a lower chance of experimenting with Drugs and alcohol. And of course that's a win. And even though one of my children is now an adult and now a college, it is even more special when she comes home for us to sit together. And. And they always have outrageous stories. You know, I don't know if it's the age, I don't know if it's social media, I don't know if it is raising kids in California and New York City, but they, they always have wild stories and it's sort of like watching a reality TV show unfold. And I love it. And the more your kids know that they can talk to you about stuff, the better it is for them. It gives them a sense of safety. And even if they pretend like you don't know what you're talking about, they secretly need your guidance. And the best place to offer that, which sometimes offering it is really just sitting there listening, it is over dinner. It is over a family meal. So hey, man, even if you have nothing in the house but cereal every once in a while, that is very much an acceptable family dinner. Okay, topic number two. I had a coworker the other day. Um, she's 35, attractive, got out of a long term relationship, she wants to have a baby, she's having a tough time meeting guys. So my advice to her is twofold. One, and I've said this over and over again, look people in the eye, have a conversation. Do not rely on dating apps. Because there is something so important about alchemy and connection and a spark. And I realize that, you know, when you're in your 20s and 30s, there is a lower incidence of people actually making eye contact with you. But that is the very best way to extend and receive Cupid zero. Because when you feel something in your gut and when both people feel it at the same time, that is undeniable. That's number one. Number two for women having learned about this in evolutionary biology, get off of the pill. Because it has to do with the major histocompatibility complex. When you are on the pill, your body thinks it's pregnant. When your body thinks it's pregnant, it wants to be around male relatives. It wants to sniff out essentially someone who is related to you, who's going to protect you in a vulnerable state of pregnancy. When your body thinks it's pregnant, you're going to meet people who are too genetically similar to you and it is going to be harder for you to conceive, possibly. There is a lot of disagreement in that area, but I think it does makes sense. So when you're not on the pill and your body doesn't think it's pregnant, you're more likely to meet and connect with someone who is not too genetically similar to you. And it is more likely to result in fruitfulness and you know exactly what I'm saying. And then if you meet someone that you really like, go back on the pill. Until then, use condoms or abstain until you really find that you have a decent and solid connection with someone. It is possible. It can happen. And you can, you can meet people. The most important thing is do things for yourself. Create a life that is fulfilling for you. And then when someone else enters the picture, you can share that instead of constantly looking for other people to complete you and fill you up. If, if you have a greater degree of personal fulfillment, you're going to be more attractive anyway. And also, I told her to go out and pretend you're already in a relationship and it doesn't mean anything and you're not looking for someone because people will not sense that desperation on you. It'll work, trust me. Join me March 5th at Langan's in Midtown Manhattan for my 1K soiree.

Ladies, please don't do this. I went into the women's room. We have a number of stalls. Let's say there are seven stalls. And there was a woman on her phone, which I think is really weird to begin with. Being on the phone while you're peeing, that says a lot about you. You, you are showing your cards that you are an undisciplined kind of sloppy person because if you are letting someone listen to you pee, you. You, you need to lock it up in your personal life. That's number one. Number two, she was on speakerphone. She was on speakerphone with a guy with. While she's peeing with other people who are also peeing. So I'm peeing and it was a little potty, don't worry. And she's sitting there talking to a guy on speakerphone. I don't care if it is the President of the United States. Hold it until you're done with the the conversation and then go into the bathroom. If someone calls midstream, either break off the stream, pull up your pants and leave, or send it to voicemail and call them back when you're done. But no one is so important that they have to be on speakerphone in a bathroom with a guy while they're peeing while other people are paying. So of course I said, can you please take your phone off speaker? That's creepy. And she immediately stopped and goes, oh, my God, I'm in the loo. And then she left without washing her hands and left the bathroom. Those things are wrong on so many levels. And yes, in instances like that, it is okay to to judge because that woman has violated so many norms. I did not see her face. I do not know who it is. There is a very good chance that she is hearing this podcast as I am speaking. So, madam, you need to lock it up. See, I've saved your world in so many ways. Family dinners, get off the pill. Don't talk on speakerphone while you're taking a tinkle. That is my job. That's what I do. Unsolicited advice that will hopefully save your world. This has been Kennedy Saves the World. I'm Kennedy.
