Ever found yourself in a heated debate with someone over politics or religion? Navigating the complexities of modern relationships means facing these challenging conversations head-on. In our latest episode, we share personal stories about the often tricky journey of matching personal beliefs with those of potential partners. From the nuances of dating profiles to the crucial need for setting boundaries and recognizing deal-breakers, we explore how post-COVID dynamics have shifted these once-taboo discussions into the forefront of our online conversations.

Why do political differences seem so much more divisive today than in the past? Reflecting on family dynamics and personal experiences, we question why ideological gaps feel wider now and how they impact our relationships. We share strategies for managing friendships and intimate connections when faced with conflicting views, and ponder the role of social media in amplifying these divides. By finding common ground and engaging with diverse viewpoints, we aim to bridge the polarization that seems to define today's social landscape.

From the nostalgia of class reunions to the challenges of balancing work and social life, we also explore the lighter side of maintaining connections. Hear about our mixed feelings on reconnecting with old classmates, the influence of social media in keeping those ties alive, and some amusing thoughts on peculiar marketing choices by popular brands. We wrap up with a hearty review of a new Italian restaurant, Giulia, which is sure to tantalize your taste buds. Join us for a heartfelt and sometimes humorous discussion on navigating social interactions in this ever-evolving world.

There's three, three, one, two, three, three, one, two, three, three. We have addicting conversations about you. Just never know, you never know, sometimes we don't know, Like, for instance, tonight.

Speaker 3:

I'm not real sure who knows what we're going to talk about tonight. I think this might be our 35th episode, 35. Oh, fabulous, I know Crazy, Isn't it crazy? I know it is. So we think to start out with we're going to talk about relationships, and is it possible to survive if you have differing opinions on topics like religion, politics?

Speaker 3:

you know some big ones it's possible to survive it and thrive and keep going, yeah, yeah. So this has been a question on my mind for a while, since I signed up for match. I'm on match. God, I should have said that, tell us, okay. So I got lots of thoughts on this, lots of questions. I've called in all my lifelines to get differing opinions and it's really, really. It's kind of mind boggling because I don't. I feel, first of all, that we never would have had these conversations pre-covid, pre past election, couple elections. I I do think that in the recent modern political world it's caused some, some things that you know.

Speaker 3:

Nobody ever talks about religion, nobody ever talks about politics, ever at least at it's certainly didn't seem like it.

Speaker 3:

No, no. So married coupled maybe did, but they didn't do it in front of the family and you certainly didn't bring it up anywhere else. And I'm not saying we got to go back to that, I'm just here. Here's the deal, here's the story. Here's how I got into the predicament that I have found myself in. Okay, so, on these dating sites you write a profile. They give you a bunch of generic questions to ask to answer and you know, one of them is I mean everything from what kind of height do you like? What drinking level? Do smokers bother you? Do you like cats, dogs, snakes? No, snakes, nothing smaller than a cat. It's always been my theory. I'm sticking to it. Then it's things like education level. You know, divorced, single widower, separated that's also a deal breaker. I'm not dating anybody separated. They got to be done, yeah.

Speaker 4:

At least legally.

Speaker 3:

I'm learning some are not done yeah, part-wise. But one of them is also politics, which, in some people say you know they're conservative, some say liberal, some say apolitical, some say independent. I mean, you know there's some general things. So in the beginning I didn't put any of those things down. I put down what I was. I didn't make it a deal breaker for who I was searching for. Okay, that lasted about three weeks and then I decided I need to, maybe, or actually, in the beginning I don't think I said what I was, I think I left that question off.

Speaker 3:

But then I got some men reached out and I got some serious, seriously adamant conversations about I am this and if you are this, we don't have anything to talk about. That would be a good answer. We don't have anything to talk about. Let's be done, move on. I got some that proceeded to want to tell me how I was wrong. Oh, to change you, to change my mind, and I'm not talking in a nice way, I'm talking in how could you be so stupid? Let me just say have you ever won an argument when that's been dropped into the conversation?

Speaker 1:

and anything no.

Speaker 3:

Let me tell you where you're wrong. Always a good opening, always a good opening, yeah, so so then I did go through and I put that I am one way, and I started looking for this for profiles that I was reading are they x? Because if they're x, I'm just gonna pass, I'm just gonna pass, I'm just gonna pass. It was kind of. Also, you know, if I was wishy-washy I'd say oh, they're X, keep going, swipe left, swipe right, whatever. Okay. So I find myself talking to. I found myself talking to a couple different men. We're having great conversations. Something came up and a little alarm bell went up and I and I asked a few more questions and I found out that they were as far one way as I was the other and I got really bummed out. And one wanted to pursue the conversation, kept pursuing the conversation and I remember coming to you guys asking you know, I don't know how I feel about this and you were both of the mindset it's not going to work.

Speaker 4:

Probably yeah, when you're, when you're yeah, if it's too different, yeah. I would say that the chances are unlikely.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I would say that the chances are unlikely, okay. So I did really enjoy talking to that person. So I came back with, look, this might be, this might be the deal breaker, but if we could, you know, I seemed, I seemed to like you as a person. I like the other things that we've talked about. You know, I maybe we can, just you know, whatever, but can we not talk about this, which probably wasn't a very smart thing. And he just kept coming back. Well, I don't know why. You don't want to blah blah and I'm like, okay, you're done, all right, so proceed, proceed. You know, I have met someone who I'm enjoying talking to. I'm enjoying going on out on dates. Again, same thing. We are not on the same page in process. That's what I've decided. It is Because, in the end, the end game game we're both pretty close to similar beliefs, but how we get there?

Speaker 3:

Two totally different things. So it made me wonder, you know, I looked at my parents. My parents did everything together. They were very active in their church, they had very strong church beliefs, but yet when it came to politics, they had differing. They were of different parties. Of course, I think this also goes back to a kinder, gentler era, when those things were more normal. So now I'm coming back to this idea why has it gotten to be such a thing? Because it can't just be with your relationship, one of my lifelines. I called and said I know that you feel very strongly this way and you have friends that are vocal that way. How do you deal with it? And the response was well, I try and call them on it when I've got good, hard facts and when it doesn't seem like they're making sense to how they live their life. And had I known that about them when I first met them, I might not be friends with them. That's very interesting that is interesting.

Speaker 3:

That's very interesting. That is interesting. So I gotta get. I gotta get more. I cannot be the only one that is trying to figure out. Do all your friends believe exactly like you? Of course not. Does it ever come up, does it? Well, I think the three of us are a good example. I think we just steer away from that. You know what I mean. We don't have, we don't have those deep political conversations, you know. You know what I mean.

Speaker 4:

We just don't have them I don't think that, that, and I don't think that we're missing anything in our friendship and in our relationship by not talking about those things. Big group, even if there are both political parties represented in that group, I think, fundamentally we all align. Yes, yes, fundamentally we all align, and I think that's the key. If you don't align on the foundation of things, that's where, yeah, one of the only examples that I can think of that ever worked, and I don't know, maybe who was that one couple?

Speaker 3:

Marlee Matlin.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 3:

And James Carville.

Speaker 4:

Right.

Speaker 3:

Two political advisors. Yeah, polar opposites, are they still together?

Speaker 4:

They are I believe so.

Speaker 3:

Polar opposites.

Speaker 4:

Are they still?

Speaker 3:

together. They are, I believe so, yeah, they are, and they banter, they banter, but somehow they're also able to obviously put it aside. That's their thing, yeah, yeah. I think that here's the other thing I thought of while trying to figure out why this was bugging me so much. Because I do think it's true people tend to go to their same sources all the time, and we don't really want to go to other sources because it makes us uncomfortable, it makes us have to look at multiple layers, media, you know, data, all those things.

Speaker 3:

But I've been alone for the last three years in my own house. I've been able to just sit with my thoughts and I've not had to just really discuss them with anybody. Yeah, so you know, you get, you get comfortable with your position. Yeah, whatever that is, um. But also, then, so do when you're searching out new friends and maybe you guys haven't had to, but I'm sure there are people that have moved in. You've got new employees starting. You've got you know. I mean, we're all meeting new people all the time and you find out whether it's the bumper sticker on the back of the car, the T-shirt that they wear or their Facebook post. Do you find yourself only really navigating to people with similar ideology.

Speaker 4:

So here's how I would answer that I would only navigate away from people who are putting their belief out there so hard that you can't not that that it it's now affecting you. So I so I don't think it's necessarily that I seek out or bring in people that I know align with me. I I would just tend to not bond with people who are so. Here's how it is. I'm going to tell you why you're wrong that I would not even have time for people like that. I don't want that in my life right yeah.

Speaker 4:

So I think I probably just wouldn't invest in that relationship and it would just be it would end up just being an acquaintance.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, interesting. Yeah, yeah, someone that's going to come at you and you know we talk about this a lot on, you know, facebook or any kind of social media where, where they're, you know, posting, posting things you disagree with. You know what I mean. Um, it's hard to you know. It's kind of interesting to see. You know what I mean. And then when everybody piles on them and then everybody gets in a disagreement is just as interesting. Kind of like when you watch a traffic accident. Look at a traffic accident. You're kind of watching all the mess happen and you hear people say I'm just here for the comments, for the comments, yeah, just here for the comments, and it can get pretty ugly, I think. You know, I'm sure family dynamics, you know, I know during COVID a lot of that happened. So, yeah, you know social media, it's easy to ignore people, yeah.

Speaker 4:

I mean, you can hide them, you can block them, you can.

Speaker 3:

You can choose not to engage. You could choose to send a direct message, you could. You don't have to make your um, disappointment, disagreement public. Yes, Yep.

Speaker 4:

Yes, and you can also choose to not let it bother you, yes, to not let it affect you. So whenever I hear people say, oh yeah, I'm I, I got off of Facebook because it was so negative, well, you know what you can control that, yeah, hide people that you don't want to see or don't or don't friend them. Or you know you can tailor your feed to what you want to see. Yeah, yes.

Speaker 3:

But getting back to that point, if you're tailoring your feed to that which you want to see, are you eliminating alternative views? Yeah, and can we learn I I'm starting to come back to this idea that in twofold one we can we have to learn about the oppose, the opposing not, I mean, even using opposing is the wrong term. You know the differing view. Yeah, to understand person, I came back to something that my mom said when she got miffed. You know, it's funny how the things that I remember my mom getting upset about and my mom loved everyone, almost everyone, and though she didn't she was extra sweet too she was definitely in the camp of killed them with kindness. So we kids always knew whenever she was being really super duper nice to somebody, she did not like them.

Speaker 3:

You know it was one of those things that a friend of hers wanted to pull her children out of public schools and send them to a private school where they could be surrounded by people who believed just as they did. And to my mom it came back to the Bible verse go forth and make disciples of all nations. That you know for her religion it was it's your calling, if you are a believer, to go out and spread the gospel. You know, I'm not, I'm just stating this is how my mom's thought was about it. So I do think that if we eliminate the other side, yeah, we don't hear the other side yeah, can't learn from the other side.

Speaker 3:

That's how we've gotten into the situation we're in. Nobody wants to talk to anybody else because it can get ugly and people on social media, people need to get a clue Again, telling people they're wrong doesn't work, you know. You got to ask a lot more questions. So all of these are coming into play in this whole new relationship. And should I, should I, get stuck on a label? If you know, does the ends justify the means? Am I happy with the? If you know, does the ends justify the means? Am I happy with the ends?

Speaker 3:

The fundamentals, I think, kitty, as you put it, the fundamental things. Do I have to get stuck on what the process is? The politics, the policy? Yeah, I Googled a bunch of things, like I always do, but here's one I, here's one I liked. As long as your values and non-negotiables are aligned, having different interests can be healthy, you know so. So if all the basic things you know, you have those in common, you can certainly stray to different interests and different, you know, for me, I think, even politics, you can certainly be enough different and still want you know the best for people and the. You know what I mean. Um, and still come back to you know some agreement, I think.

Speaker 4:

I agree. I just think it's hard when it is somebody who it's their way and you're wrong. Yeah, that's a brick wall, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 4:

That's a, that's a I I run, I run away.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yes, I would wholeheartedly agree with that. I just you know. And, and it's early days, I'll say it's early days, but I've tried to do a lot of exploring on this subject because I don't want it to be later days. Yeah, like I went through before thinking we were on the same page for the whole thing, and then we weren't.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, hmm, yeah, so, okay. So let's take just a little tangent on this, because, stacey, you posed a question in the group for a topic how do we feel about class reunions and friend groups? So, similarly, for me, this is one huge reason why I don't want to go to a class reunion. I got a year that hopefully shit can rebound, but for me this is this is a reason why I wouldn't want to go. What, what I'm not following Politics?

Speaker 4:

Oh politics, Everybody went different ways and yeah.

Speaker 3:

I don't know that I've ever had that discussion with at a reunion.

Speaker 4:

No.

Speaker 3:

Okay, you don't have a group of friends that you're friends with on Facebook that posts stuff that you are adamantly opposed to. Ignore, you know, you ignore, you pass along, you just keep going. Yeah, yeah, they do that. You ignore, you pass it along.

Speaker 4:

You just keep going yeah, yeah, they're they, they do that and they would be there. They will be there at my next reunion. I'm telling you I wouldn't miss it. My 10 was amazing, my 20 was amazing, or what, maybe it was 20. I don't know the two that I went to best experience ever, so fun. Everybody was there to just have fun and see each other and know what everybody's up to, and it was light-hearted, and so that would be my expectation again. I wouldn't expect that to change. And you know what, if there's people and they get into a political conversation, if it starts going that direction, I'm like see ya, I'm gonna go over here because these guys over here are having fun.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 4:

Why let it be so heavy and polarizing? And if people want to wallow in that go do that. I'm here to have fun. That's how I look at it.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I've always gone to mine. We don't have them very often, and when we do, there's less than 10 people that show up, and so I've always wanted to know why this is. Why don't people want to go? That's my question. Why do't people want to go? That's, that's my question. Why do people not want to go? Well, I can tell you other reasons why I don't want to go. Good, I can, I can be your sounding board.

Speaker 3:

Um, well, for one thing, I moved to Wilmer when I was in eighth grade. So I spent five years, eighth through 12th. We all went to college. I never, I never, moved back. There's a large contingent of my graduating class that started in kindergarten, stayed all together, knew each other all through their years, haven't moved and they're still best buds. I don't feel that same connection and um, going that I went to the 10, I got forced into going to the 20. Thank you, christine. Um, you know, cause I'm I'm good friends with Chris, christine and um, and she's one of those that went to all of her years of school there.

Speaker 3:

So, for whatever reason, when people come back, their conversations go, they, they revert all the way back, and so for those of us that weren't there it's like ah, no, I don't remember so-and-so. I don't remember that teacher. No, I wasn't there at that sleepover. No, I didn't do this, I didn't do that. There is a lot of that and that's really uncomfortable. It's like I'm a plus one at that point. So I don't know if people don't come back because of that. Or we're friends with who we're friends with and we already keep in touch with those people, so do we have desire to see what other people we weren't really friends with are doing? Yeah, that's a good point.

Speaker 1:

I'm not saying that.

Speaker 3:

I could be. I could be totally off base, I could be, you know, overthinking the whole damn thing. Yeah, I just kind of. I all. I agree with Kitty, though I think the point is to go see people again and have fun, you know, just have a conversation with whoever you know, anybody there, and just have a fun evening.

Speaker 3:

But I would really like to go back to Rockwell Cities, to ours, yeah, because I haven't seen a lot of those people since eighth grade and you know, when I moved we didn't have social media, so I didn't have a way to stay in touch with them. You know, every time you and I get together, I'm like, okay, tell me who's doing this, who's doing that. So I want to know. Yeah, maybe you'll get it, maybe you'll get invited next year to year. Oh, I get invited all the time I'm in the. I'm in the graduating class group. It just it hasn't worked out that that I can go, but that that is a group I'd like to go and talk to see what people are doing. Yep, kitty, do you stay in touch with many friends that you graduated with?

Speaker 4:

Just only because of Facebook. And so there are quite a few people that I went to high school with that I am Facebook friends, but I mean, so my graduating class was like 500, 500. That's huge. Yeah, it was, it was big and and so I mean I I'm not connected to even, maybe, maybe Not even a quarter of those people on Facebook. But but, um, what's what surprised me?

Speaker 4:

When Facebook emerged and we were all jumping into it and checking it out, the people that I connected with they weren't necessarily the people that I hung around with all the time, they were just people I went to school with and it was. I was pleasantly surprised at the fact that there seemed to be just a genuine desire to be connected again. And then, when we went back for the I guess it was probably our 20 year reunion Um, we were at one of the nights we were at this bar and I, I sat there and looked around, I looked at and I don't remember how many. There was a good hundred people there, I'm guessing, and it was a cross section of every group and they were all mingling with each other.

Speaker 4:

Everybody, it was interspersed, it wasn't just, you know, I think a lot of we mature, that that would kind of start to go down a little bit. And it and it and it did um. I so look forward to going again and again. Um, I would guess that people get nervous about it. You know, they're like, if they may not feel great about where they are in their life, they might not want to go, and I think there's probably a lot of that, you know.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, yeah there could be, but I think, with Facebook kind of bridging this, for us it's not like you're going to walk into a room and you truly have not seen this person for 30 years if you're connected with them on social media. So I think that has sort of been a little bit of a I'm not sure what the right word is but a damper or something. It just makes it a little bit easier.

Speaker 3:

I don't know why that subject of class reunions I get. Really I don't enjoy them. I don't enjoy going to the college one, and I don't know what it says about me and my ability to be friends with people or my comfort level friends with people or my comfort level but the last class reunion I went to, I spent more time talking to people that I hadn't had a conversation with maybe ever than I did with the people that I was supposedly part of this group with, and I think what turned me off so much about them is those groups still just talk to each other. Yeah, and clearly they're in their lives, each other's lives, all the time. Yeah, why are those the people that you, that you're?

Speaker 4:

Because because they're not comfortable reaching outside of that group. So I I see it as a um, because they're not comfortable reaching outside of that group, so I see it as a. I mean, that's kind of sad. That's kind of sad that they can't open their circle up, that that's where their comfort level is and that's as far as they can go. That's too bad and good for you for talking to people that you didn't expect to and the people that you maybe you know wouldn't have back then.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, we just didn't have any classes together, we weren't in sports together, we, you know, we didn't go to the same church Any of those things, yeah, and yet they were really interesting what people were doing and stuff.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

So, stacy, I know your Facebook feed, I know you know a lot of your friends because I've gotten I probably had more friend requests when Facebook became a thing from people from Rockwell city than I did from people from Wilmer. I mean not you know big.

Speaker 1:

Thing.

Speaker 3:

Um, but do you pretty much stay in touch with a lot of classmates?

Speaker 3:

You know, what's going on? Your brother lives there. You're both your brothers live there. Your mom lives there. You Yep, yeah, and you know my other group we've talked about this. My other girlfriend group is classmates. You know, and you know my other group we've talked about this. My other girlfriend group is classmates. You know we're not all in the same exact class, but you know all you know from Rockwell City knew each other very well when we were there. So yeah, yeah, I would say it's a lot. And that was that's why I posed this question, because it's always disappointing to me when more people don't don't go. Have have any of those friends said why they don't go? That's a good question. No, we'll have to. I will research this and report back. Okay, we know who they are, right, I don't know. Know who?

Speaker 1:

they are, but you've got a pretty good crew that listens to us, so we're talking about you right now.

Speaker 3:

You don't come back so be on your guard, we'll see. Hey, I have something totally off topic. Did you see my post um about? About the new McDonald's grandma McFlurry? Yeah, so, and why I posted this is because this will let so when you listen to this. The previous show we talked about being de-influenced or just influenced in general, and we talked about marketing and whatever. Talked about marketing and whatever. I think that's the. Am I the only one that thinks the McDonald's grandma McFlurry is the worst marketing idea ever? Is it butterscotch? It is like butterscotch and it has like toffee pieces in it. Yes, that's bad. Well, I'm not even. I don't even care what the flavor is. You know, grandma McFlurry, now that I'm a grandma, I'm kind of PO'd that that's a thing, right, I mean, unless they're going to have a Grandpa McFlurry that's got Swedish fish in it and smells like menthol.

Speaker 1:

That's where I figured, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Grandpa McFlurry, Is it going to taste like aspergill and fart? I mean, what else is there right? Is it going to say here pull my finger, yes. Is it a decal? That's not it. Yeah, I just think that name is just so weird Again.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, they definitely could have done better.

Speaker 3:

We're grandma age, we could all be grandmas? Oh no, that's why it was upsetting. I don't know, because, like I said, is that what it's supposed to be like? Is that every grandma likes butterscotch? I think every, I don't. We're all grandmas. What do we all have in our purse that we could hand to a kid right now? A butterscotch? Think about it. Think no. I want to know. Current modern day, oh, we could all be grandmas. We could all be grandmas. Yeah, what do you have in your purse?

Speaker 4:

that you could share with a three-year-old Nothing, yeah, nothing.

Speaker 3:

You don't have a tic-tac and that was a three-year-old. Okay, come on four-year-old five, whatever. A little, yeah, gum minty gum that they're not gonna like. Yeah, cinnamon, all my kids like cinnamon. That backfired on me. Tried to buy cinnamon gum and altoids so that I wouldn't have to share they all like it now there are a lot of things that if you wanted to do.

Speaker 3:

And why? Why, grandma, why not? No, I know, I don't know, I just think you're the woman mcflurry, or great grandma, you know, greatest grandma, yeah, something, I don't know. That just struck me so weird, like what in the world? Yeah, as soon as you posted it, I laughed. I thought that was hysterical right guys, I'm being called again to the heavens.

Speaker 3:

It's been gray here all day don't go to the light yeah, I'm not going to the light, speaking of things and food and weird stuff went to a new restaurant a couple nights ago. Giulia or Ghulia, I don't know. It's an Italian, northern Italian restaurant, g-u-i-l-i-a, so we lovingly called it Giulia, ghulia. Just like the Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler movie. It was lick the plate, clean, good. It was so unbelievably good. If you are in the Minneapolis area, you're going to be downtown. It's in a really cool. It's kind of in an odd location. There's really nothing around there, but very quick, if you're going to like Target field, this would be walkable sort of deal. Unbelievable food, pasta, appetizers. The only kicker was the desserts. There was a chocolate, something that was really really good. The other things had pistachio in it, like all of them.
