2. Advice Segment: Big Age-Gap Dating Dilemma
Starts at 10:27
Listener Email Recap:
A widower, 59, starts dating a 31-year-old—his daughter is four years older than his girlfriend. He wants advice on handling his children’s discomfort.
Discussion Points:
- Bobby: “If you even think, man, should I talk to them about it, or should I just ignore it? … The answer is yes, you should talk to them. It’s your kids, for Pete’s sake.” [12:30]
- On the age gap: “59 and 31… it’s a little weird. Not super weird.”

Have the conversation with the kids; it’s awkward, but treating everyone’s feelings with respect is most important.
