It's free advice.

Yes.

Not great advice.

It's the best we can do.

Because one of our listeners, Aaron, has a girlfriend of almost four years now who recently told him she wants to give up her office job and become a cop.

And his immediate reaction?

Worry.

Concern that she may not understand the full impact taking this job could have on her life and on his because they're a unit together now.

But some of us here are concerned that this is going to come across as a classic case of mansplaining.

Well, he did a lot of like, she doesn't understand how dangerous it is.

That could come across as I know better than you do.

And here's why.

Definitely.

That's not what you're looking to do here.

Right, Aaron?

No, and whatever she wants to do, I will fully support her.

I'm just more worried because she's focused on the money aspect.

Everything that we talk about whenever we talk about it is just how much money she's going to make, how she loves the money, the money, the money.

And we never talk about the things.

And that's just all I was trying to get across.
