Kevin says that he has started to notice something very, very interesting about women these days. And I don't know if you know this, but Kev broke up from a relationship, and he broke up probably, what, about a year ago or something? Yeah, basically, almost. Almost a year ago, announced it to us after a few months of just kind of keeping it to himself, and then now has been all over town.

That's not true. Don't make me sound like I'm some floozy, some player.

You're not a player, but you're a player maker. What does that mean? I don't know what that means. But I can't even keep up with it, Shannon. No, don't do that. Don't do that, y'all.

I actually am keeping up. I have a spreadsheet. You do? If you want to share.

Is it like the brackets? You can edit it with me. The NCAA March Madness brackets?

No, it's a little different than that.

Okay.

All the info's on there.

All right. But this is good, though, because he's been doing some research, and it's for a project for the University of Michigan. They're going to be putting this out coming up here. This is Healthy Human Services. Their sociology department.

Now, what have you noticed about women? I feel like women these days are vocally celibate. Like, I have had conversations with three different women who say that they are saving themselves for marriage or are saving themselves for their person. And I don't know if it's, like, the age that I'm at right now in the age of these women because they're all around the same age. How old are these women? They're like in their 30s. Okay. Like but having casual sex so to speak or having the interest of another person and wanting that to be explored sexually is something that they want to do but they aren't doing it. Like they locking it down and saying I'm waiting. They're saving

the cookies. They're not baking cookies until they find the guy until they get married. Yeah. Okay that's good. Is that a

good thing are you not happy about that i'm not saying i'm not happy about it it's just i feel like it's happening a lot now okay like it used to and i'm not gonna say it used to never be like that and like you mentioned i wasn't out here really like that so i don't know if it's been like this for years i just feel like i'm having more conversations where women are starting to

enter these celibate let's ask them that's that's our big listening audience right there so let's ask them you know is that the case uh are you uh are you doing this uh megan you're in that that

age demographic are you i just feel like there's no winning for women we even talked about it earlier when we were talking about hpv and it leading to throat cancer and it was like oh you got to be careful who you're choosing to sleep with and then women choose to be careful and it's well nobody wants to sleep with me or women are sleeping around and it's well she just sleeps with anybody i just feel like there's no winning but what about this i didn't come off a lot

i think the age thing though because i feel like you are in that sweet spot of at least from my personal experience the 20s it was like you do whatever you want you you know you make a lot of mistakes and you go oh I wish I wouldn't have done that or I wish I wish I would have done more of that whatever and I feel like a lot of women at least I did in in your once you hit your 30s and you're in your mid-30s yeah am I right about

that it it becomes real like oh okay you do feel this pressure from yourself and from society to settle to settle down a little bit and so I'm wondering if these women that you're surrounding yourself with are in that mindset I think the bar changes the bar gets higher the older you get yeah and I think you also surround yourself with a very specific type of female and that's a compliment to you by the way i think that the standards are naturally higher and so and you look for certain things at least from the spreadsheet that i'm looking at here certain qualities so that would make sense to me it really it really would um i but i i tend to think that

you know guys are are uh at a certain age get to that their age is probably like near death they're the they're the age of the blue pill uh no no but i think that i i would see that that would be a normal thing that you're thinking to yourself okay i'm gonna have more fun when i'm in my 20s but now i gotta start really focusing and settling down i want to slow my my count down

well you have to provide more at a certain point like providing what like i don't need it for emotional stability okay like i don't need to just have sex just yeah yeah i well and i think

you look for things differently too for sure what's up nikki hi hello kev i actually agree

with you talk to him what is what did kev say that's agreeable he just said this is what girls

are doing she said she actually agrees like she normally doesn't yeah but i'm saying what is it

what is he what started to agree on he just said that that's what he's noticed with the women why

are they doing it that is my thing well for me personally i'm 44 when i was in my 30s i was just having sex just for the fun of it but now the older i'm getting i am saving myself for that person i want to start being intimate for you know with that right person yeah what if the guy though i guess it's just a thing as i get older that it's just changing for me what if guys though

feel like, okay, well, I don't want this. And do you think that you would lose a guy over that? Or are you trying to be celibate?

I mean, if they don't understand, if I don't see a future with them, then yes, I'm not going to do it.

Yeah. I wonder if that's ever happened to any women that are out there dating right now. If you said, no, listen, I'm saving myself. And the guy's like, I'm out of here. Because he's like, I don't know.

You're doing it to weed those people out anyways.

It's kind of like, well, it's kind of like going to a dealership and they won't let you test drive, you know, and maybe he's, well, but it's, you're thinking to yourself, all right, I can't buy it just sight unseen, you know what I mean?

Yeah, but I mean, with me, it's just that I just wanted to mean more with somebody that I see a future with. Right.

Absolutely. Well, and if the guy only wants, and I'd say this too, if the guy wants to bake cookies with you on the first date, he doesn't care. He doesn't.

I don't agree with that, though, either.

I think it's an immature thing that guys do when they start younger. When they do it older, they're just out there trying to see how many cookies they can eat. I really do.

I feel you. And to Megan's point about women utilizing this as a strategy to weed out individuals who aren't looking to do anything more than eat cookies, I feel like sometimes it makes us hang in there for the wrong reasons also, though. Like, you may weed out some guys that don't want to hang around and don't have the patience in order to last that long, but then you have some guys that go, okay, bitch, challenge on. I'm about to stick around just to do that. Which one are you? I'm somewhere in the middle.

But if the guy, though, sticks around, maybe he'll actually get to know her better.

For sure.

Asia, what's up?

Hey, good morning.

Good morning.

I'm on my second bout of celibacy right now. I went six years in my 20s and gave it up because I wanted to. And then started over because there's just really nothing out here worth giving it up for, honestly.

That's a good point. Maybe that's the reason why they're celibate. These guys are so bad.

And then I've had it to where some dudes stick around because it presents a challenge. They want to see how long they can go before they wear you down. And then some are like, okay, whatever.

That's interesting. So you found their intentions to be bad, huh?

Yeah, for sure.

Wow. I will say this from hearing from all the single people on the show. The guys these days are just bad. And I don't believe that they're bad. They were bad.

you know before dating apps i think dating apps made guys really more empowered than they should be and i think it's and it's brought out the bad in in human beings because they know yeah if you don't like it i'll go find somebody else i can you know i've got a catalog basically on my phone

what's up eric hey good morning guys long time long time hey there i almost hit that horn go ahead i know so so kev you're saying you're noticing this uh maybe it's just a you thing man maybe they're just doing that specifically for you if you're the one noticing it could be

or could be more people out there who are also noticing it i don't know i mean maybe they're

just they're just turning it down they don't like the kevin it could be could be i i used to talk

to slim about this slim who used to work on the show did you ever meet him at all yeah so slim used to say that he hated the image he had of being a womanizer because he really wasn't the womanizer that was portrayed on the radio and leaving the radio show for him was a lot because he wanted to get his life personally better and I could see where that could be the case too with a lot of women that hear the conversations that we have on our show and everything is tongue-in-cheek and things like that and I used to say that I used to say Slim all the time I'm like man if I had a sister that was your age and stuff he would be a perfect match because he's such a good human being yeah but we portrayed on the air there i'm hanging out at the clubs and all this stuff and he would bring topics to the air but that's that's the thing sometimes i think sometimes people have

an image based on seeing somebody yeah i don't get lost in that i don't care how people feel about me or how i sound on the radio if we sit down and we have a conversation and if if we haven't somebody said one time if we have an issue and you didn't text me about it because you didn't have my number then we really didn't have an issue because you didn't know me in the first place

yeah because you you yeah they they didn't want to bring it to you or talk to you about it mac what's up hey mojo first time long time

yeah so my fiance we've been dating for almost four years now our first two years we actually you know we're having sex regularly and um started having sex by probably about the fourth date and then it came to a point where we realized that our whole relationship our whole foundation was built upon sex so we took a huge step back about two years ago and like you know if we're gonna live our way and not live god's way you know i don't know if this is going to work out so over the course of the last two years we've been you know abstaining from from sex and uh we actually were cohabiting as well so we we moved back out and um yeah we're

that is huge major props to you how what what would you have done if it made the relationship worse like we with that would that have been okay good i saw this or would it have been sad that

that things turn that way yeah so here here's the actual full story is um we actually broke up for three or four months because the foundation had just completely crumbled because you know i i was you know starting to look at other women and you know not really sure if i wanted to be with amanda which was my fiance and uh you know kind of just got to the point where i was like you know am I with the right girl so I really took a you know about four months to myself and um

it took you four months to realize that or you guys just decided that four months

it took me about four months to realize that when I had you know sex for the first time after I was single again you know after dating her for about two years and I was like wow this just you know isn't what it's cracked up to be I feel like our society you know um glorified that but then you know took some time to myself reached back out you know to to amanda and um you know we we actually

had a picnic date and kind of just talked through everything mojo and wow so when are zach when are

mac and amanda getting married yeah we're getting married and in august let's go call us and tell

us how that how you know everything goes with the wedding and everything like that and by the way the night of the wedding, it's going to be on, isn't it?

I know, right? You know, and it's just so cool, right? Just because, like, you know, we had that, and now we took it away from each other and took away, you know, co-happening.

So what's going to prevent that from happening again?

Well, yeah, will it turn back into you guys going crazy again, or are you guys going to be, have you guys talked about?

But at least if they do, they've built a strong foundation for that.

You imagine, by the way, how quick that relation that that first night, though, together is going to be that poor guy.

You know, it's on the back of those Mac.

My husband is at a spa resort with his mistress right now, and I'm calling the hotel to confront them both. Wait a minute, Dakota. She's calling the hotel while they're checked in together? Yeah, that's right, Sophia. And it gets worse. It's Vacate the Vacation Week on the OK Storytime podcast, where she caught him buying gifts on Amazon and then taped a 10-page letter inside his luggage before he flew out. So she planted evidence before he even took off? And spoiler, Sophia, two years later, karma hits so hard, he's calling his ex-wife in tears, saying about his mistress, what a mistake that was.
