The Inquisitive Nobody Podcast

This early in the game and one couple might be getting the D (and not the good kind). Family members are interfering in Airris and Jasmine's life. Chris is too nice and Nicole is worried she's gonna have to be the "bad guy" (for no reason other then to fuck up a good thing.) I also pull out Card #137 with another edition of The Skin Deep's {The And} 'Self Edition' card game. Today's card question is: "If I do this, how will it change my eulogy?"

When in a new relationship (of substance!) comes along it's great to finally get past the phase of "job interview-itis" and get to know each other deeper. But, it's another thing when experiencing new things with your partner that might not be all that "new." Remember that restaurant you're taking your new beau to? That was where your ex first said I love you. Remember the picnic in the park last week you took your potential partner? You took your ex there for her birthday. Your S/O finally called you by a nickname... problem is your ex used to call you that too! Womp WOMP. Dating & being in multiple relationships, you will eventually come across the same stages / activities / milestones that you did in previous ones. Situations like these may give you pause, but should you be concerned or are they just things that are par for the course in relationships? On this episode, I discuss things in my personal life I've encountered making new memories with my new girlfriend while old memories occupy the same space. Also I share stories and anecdotes about similar situations and what other people think about Memory Lane creeping up on Modern Times. Listen in to hear more!

Honeymoon is over. back to reality! This episode the couples see where the other lives. Dominique is not feeling Mackinley's "base of operations" as questions if this marriage is really something she wants to go for. Gina does not want to move in with Clint because of uncertainty, but Clint reminds her that they're married and it's not gonna work if they don't interact. Airris is having trouble connecting with Jasmine and only sees her as a friend while Jasmine wants Airris to rip off her clothes. Nicole and Chris' leases are up for their respective apartments so they are at a crossroads to forego and move in with each other or keep their own spots for another year. Shaq and Kirstin has little to no chemistry and Pastor Cal has arrived to try and find out why. I also pull out Card #135 with another edition of The Skin Deep's {The And} 'Self Edition' card game.

Waters get rough when Dominique feels like she's pulling teeth to connect with Mackinley. Mack doesn't have the gung ho / try anything once spirit that Dom has and it's concerning. Chris has a "crisis" of sorts over his dogs and Nicole comes to the rescue (but shouldn't it be the other way around?). Jasmine calls Airris bossy, but doesn't seem to mind it considering he's taking the lead. Clint is still feeling the after effects of what he said to Gina about him preferring slender/athletic women.  Shaq and Kirstin rate their relationship so far a 7. Is that good or bad?  I also pull out Card #134 with another edition of The Skin Deep's {The And} 'Self Edition' card game. Today's card question is: "How Will Doing This Change Me for the Better?"

Things are getting cringe when Macklinley is getting on Dominque's last nerve with his boyish charms and jokes. After that whole "I don't like Red head" remark from Gina last episode, Clint opens up a can of worms saying that he gravitates more towards slender and athletic women. Uh Oh. Jasmine starts to get a little horny for Airris, but doesn't remember 3 days ago when Airris was asking frisky questions and she shut him down. Welp, take this cold shoulder! Nicole and Chris talk about how sex was used as punishment in their last relationships. Kirstein talks about how she doesn't like Shaq's bald head, his sense of humor, so Shaq asks her directly.. what DO you like about me? Wuh Oh. I also pull out Card #133 with another edition of The Skin Deep's {The And} 'Self Edition' card game. Today's card question is: "How Will Doing This Change Me?"

Mackinley is showing that he might have a yellow tail when it comes to this adventure stuff and Dominique is concerned. Gina confesses that she doesn't like Red Head features on a person, unfortunately Clint is 1000% a red head with all the bells and whistles of one.  Nicole and Chris have an open discussion about kids. Chris definitely does and Nicole is open, but Chris needs an enthusiastic yes if we were to continue down this road. Kirstein blames the pandemic for being closed off and she pleads to Shaq to not stop trying to connect with her. Airris gets mad that Jasmine keeps eating the evil swine aka bacon.  I also pull out Card #132 with another edition of The Skin Deep's {The And} 'Self Edition' card game.

Kirstein tells Shaq that he has to wait for intimacy (the kiss) because kissing might lead to other things she doesn't want to get sidetracked. He doesn't know her emotionally yet and they need to build chemistry (and yet she stay sleeping on this man's chest, *sigh*).  Jasmine is being hunted down by Airris' cousin Fallon who has not liked this experiment since the beginning. Stay on your toes girl! Nicole needs to be protective of Chris's heart as he may take this experiment a little too seriously. Like mother like daughter because Dom is now grilling Mack about the different races/cultures he's been with.

2 more couples get married as the circle is complete. Airris claps at his wife's beauty and thinks the experts did a great job (much to his cousin's dismay). Dominique is cool as a cool cucumber waiting for her turn to wed, as Mackinley describes the type of wife he (physically) wants. Clint doubles down and commits to Gina after seeing her smile, while Kirstin contemplates her husband considering he has two strikes against him already.  I also pull out Card #130 with another edition of The Skin Deep's {The And} 'Self Edition' card game.

"It's been a long road getting from there to here, It's a been a long time but my time is finally near.." Those words spoken by Russel Watson were never truer then this point in my life. As Rifiki says in Disney's "The Lion King", It is Time. So, here I am dipping my big toe back in the dating pool. Is there pee in it like everyone suggests? No, but at times there's a waft of bullshit. It's most definitely "a whole new world" out there. But if you want to get over the hump to Happiness, you got to be able to deal with the nonsense and idiocy . So, I put my big boy pants on and went on my journey to discover what the hell is out there in the dating world and I'm back to report on my findings. Although at times things looked bleak, as the aforementioned song continues, "I got faith of the heart... I'm going where my heart will take me." Hopefully my heart doesn't steer me wrong. Jesus take the wheel.

Heartache, reflection, depression, rebuilding, rekindling & refocus. All the words you can think of. I had my world pulled right from under me and it was up to me to lift myself back up and move forward. But that wouldn't happen if I didn't take the time to reflect and remember that time in my life. All of it. Good, Bad, Happy and Sad. It was a profound moment in my life so it only felt right to commemorate & honor that time as well. A "tribute" of sorts to that time and that person for making me who I am today and that I can be a better person for someone else tomorrow.

"Good Things Come to Those Who Wait". Really? So where are those good things? What's the point of being nice when you see examples of bad people getting more then you? Bad boys get the girls, Living dangerously makes you seem more exciting, and assholes get married! All the mean while nice guys finish last, emotional guys get ridiculed and incels get shamed. I've been a nice guy all my life and I have nothing to show for it. Sure people "love" me and praise me and say there should be more people like you, so why am I single? It's come to my attention that I need a little edge to me, a little asshole to stoke fire in a girls heart, but my question is.. why? Why do I need to be that? What's "wrong" with being nice, and better yet what's "right" with being in asshole?

The couples are getting to know one another more while on the honeymoon, but are they sacrificing their principals just so they will match up with their partner?

It's time I came back and revisited this subject cause I had a little bit more to say, lol. This time its on the topic of the difference between black people. Their attitudes, their presence, their self awareness, etc. I talk about the how people perceive the different types of black people and why others who might not follow the law get praised more then "regular" black people. Also, The New Black. What's THAT about? Have we evolved from your past or are we more "real" and "down" because we decide to stay in the mud of it to appear authentic?

This episode was hard but necessary. As always, I like to look deep within myself and examine the issues I have going on mentally and this was one at the top of the list. It's something I've wanted to talk about for a while and get off my chest but I was waiting for the right time. After seeing "The Father", I knew I had the courage to share my side of a story that affects so many people around the world. Listen in as I recount my time living with my mother who has dementia and how "The Father" validated all the feelings I've been feeling for the past 5 years. This movie had helped me be "seen" and help me realize that I'm not alone in my feelings or thoughts (intrusive) or not.   I also pull out Card #103 with another edition of The Skin Deep's {The And} 'Self Edition' card game.

This is the stuff you only see in romantic movies or bat shit crazy reality shows, but yes two people from different countries CAN meet and fall in love with each other. Although it didn't start like that, (rarely do they ever). Where something that started out as a fling, then a budding relationship, can turn into a full blown union in a matter of months is something to behold. Never in my wildest dreams I thought this individual would find love, but as it seems, love found him - and what a love it is. So much so, that he's going overseas to continue to grow and cultivate it and who knows what it will blossom to then.

At times in our lives we have to look back in order to know where we're going. So I did just that.

This event has really put them through the ringer but it goes to show that them being able to lean on each other and carry on, they picked the right partner to spend the rest of their life together with. With all the stress, planning, and last minute changes behind them, the focus can now be towards the future.  But speaking of Time, I take you on a journey where we experience the week of the wedding. First I go back a couple of days before the wedding to see what their feelings are before the big day. Then the 2nd half of this MONSTER of an episode, I talk to them a week AFTER the wedding to see how it all went down. I also quiz them on how well they know each other while they quiz ME on how well I know THEM. Finally, they share their list of banned music not to be played at the wedding, and there's definitely some surprises on there! All in all, It was a fun episode to be had.
