What is a man cave and how does it relate to marriage dynamics?
I like
your digs here.
Thanks, you know. Um I've heard you talk about the concept of man cave. This is not a man cave, 'cause a man cave is something for a married man.
Yeah, I guess that's right.
This is just cave. Why do you have a main cave in your You do?
Yeah.
And you think that this is necessary for a a good for a relationship, Tom?
Yeah. I've been married forty six years. Come on. Yeah.
That's so ridiculous.
Forty six years?
That's amazing We've been together fifty. Come the fuck on. Yeah. Really? How old are you? You look you don't look fifty two. I I was gonna say y you know, you you do look like you're in your fifties, so No, I'm seventy two. Wow. You look good for seventy two. You look very healthy, you know.
I just had a total knee replacement eight weeks
ago. Really? Yeah. I hear that all the time and People say it's like the neck y next day you're like First
two weeks or y you want to go punch somebody in the mouth. But it hurts? Well, it's just irritating. It burns and right all that. But I was back on the tennis
court at three weeks. And why d why do you now I play basketball every day. Is my knee gonna wear out? And why it it just happens 'cause you you're If
it hasn't yet, it's not. Really? Yeah. Oh good. Yeah, I mean if you've got cartilage in there and you're still running up and down the court, you're good. But I'm not seventy two yet. Yeah, but you're you're right weight, you're in good shape, you can run up and down the court. Chances are you're gonna be pretty good. Why you think it's because y uh the
the knee goes when you ha carry too much weight?
Well, it's what you've done. I mean I played football in grade school, junior high, high school, college and then raced motocross poorly. And I had no I was bone on bone. And That sounds
sexy. I guess I'm thinking of boning. But um I must say I'm very flattered that you came here because you don't know me from Adam. But I think that's a good thing. Oh sucking it
sound. My son used to do your show a lot. Mm-hmm. Jay.
That's not you.
I know.
I'm not gonna pretend like I've seen every Dr. Phil episode, but that to me is what almost makes your success all the more impressive to me because I'm always impressed when there's like something that like I did not even choose to know about, but it becomes such a cultural phenomenon that I actually know a lot about it. Like I know a lot about the Kardashians. And I don't never watch the Kardashians. But there's something to that level of permeating the culture. I've always thought shrinks were the craziest people in the world. Uh is that wrong?
Well I saw a study a long time ago that said most and I don't know if it's was bullshit or what, but it said an awful lot of people go into psychology originally because they're all screwed up and they think if they study it, they'll figure it out and get better. Right. And Oh, that's interesting. And I saw a follow up that said, Did it work? And it said, Not even almost. So maybe we got a bunch of people that were got into it for that reason and it didn't help 'em, but I don't know whether that was I mean You know,
they say that some people can't be hypnotized. And I feel like some people can't be shrunk. Like, um, I don't think I can be I I know I can't be hypnotized 'cause they've tried and I wanted to. And I feel like uh when I w the few times I won't go into detail but it didn't happen much, when I was talking to a psychiatrist as a patient, sort of. Um I just felt like I mean, it was all I could do from stop busting out laughing out loud sometimes because I felt what they were saying was so preposterous and just such guesswork. Like just, yeah, it could be. It could be anything. I you know, just this uh always over trying to connect something or make significance out of something when I think a lot of things are just very random.
I dunno that I don't know if they were really believing it, what they were saying, or they were just f they just felt like I'm the doctor, I'm the shrink, I have to say something here to make this significant and it wasn't significant, I don't think, or we don't know.
