Brian AtlasWe'll come come back to that. I'm sure Andrea has a couple questions on that one, but we'll get everybody's uh relationship status. So, okay. Uh and your longest relationship, you said, was 13 years. 13 12 years. Okay. Currently,
00:23:24
Guidanceand how long have you been seeing your current partner? So, we met on New Year's Day this year. Got engaged uh on Valentine's Day this year. Um that's when I asked her to marry me and then

00:23:46
Guidancein six weeks. She was also So like with you with the Jewish thing, I really thought that was interesting cuz like for me and her, she had also shared Jehovah's Witness past for almost the
00:23:57
Guidancesame amount of time as me. And that was like very connecting for us uh for her to understand that part of my history
00:24:04
Brian Atlasand vice versa. So we connected really fast. Okay. All right. Uh, and you said, uh, you were a deacon. This was that
00:24:16
Brian Atlaswhen is that under Jehovah's Witness? No, that's Baptist. So that 12 year marriage. So what's the transition from you started as Jehovah's Witness? Correct. And then you became Baptist and
00:24:28
Brian Atlasnow and then was there were you uh Presbyterian or what was the transition to where you're at now currently? I would honestly say atheism. I went from
00:24:38
Guidancevery strict uh religious, you know, lifestyle for the majority of my life. Um I you can't really leave being a Jehovah's Witness once you commit. Um so Oh, like the shunning. Yeah. So I got
00:24:50
Guidanceshunned or dysfellowshipped as they called it. Can't talk to my family or friends or anything. Mom, you know, all that. So went from that. Like you you're not in touch with your Not really. No. My mom passed so Oh, sorry to hear that.

00:25:13
Guidancewhat? She basically I mean she was also a Jehovah's Witness. My mom was going through a really hard mental time and so she came in you know changed my life. They really did. Um but she's also a
00:25:24
Guidancewitness so can't really talk to her. So I left that or got kicked out of that. Went into the Baptist religion when I met my ex-husband. He was already really
00:25:34
Guidancedeep in the church. So that just really took off. Do you ever miss dating guys or are you kind of over it? Um yes and no. I mean it we've only been together,
00:25:45
Guidanceme and my fiance 6 months. So before that I had dated a guy or two. You have to be really special to slip through that gate for me so to speak. Um got it. So I don't really miss it but you know.

00:39:40
Guidanceinto our practice. Okay. So, when are you a universalist? No, I wouldn't really say that because there are some things that really don't align with um I would say my teachings
00:39:52
Guidanceor viewpoints, but we don't turn down any viewpoints. As long as their religion or spirituality is based in love and respect for the planet we live on and its people, we're pretty much
00:40:02
Brian Atlasalign. Okay. Whatever that is. Yeah. Okay. All right. So, let's see here. Where do we begin? We're going to start
00:40:12
Brian Atlaswith uh Shannon here with your notes. Shannon, you previously stated that you will not date
00:40:24
Brian Atlasuh somebody who makes less than seven figures. Has that changed at all? I said seven figures. Yeah. You said you only date six to seven figure or well six six
00:40:35
Brian Atlasor seven Okay, fair. Figure earning men and you'd love to discuss your experiences. Sorry. So, oh, were you laughing? Oh, okay. I think she sneezed.
00:40:47
SPEAKER_01Oh, it was a sneeze. Oh, okay. I thought it was like a It was a laugh. It might have been a laugh. All right, I'm going with laugh. We can talk about it. Um, go ahead. So,
00:40:59
Shannon Daveyyeah, we talked about that in our previous show that I was on that I did previously date men who made six or have
00:41:09
Shannon Daveysix to seven figures. However, my current relationship that I'm in, he it's a little complicated in regards to
00:41:17
Shannon Daveythat. However, I have negotiated for myself that sort of
00:41:25
Shannon Daveywant in a partner because he brings so much else to the table. Like what? Well, we have a lot in common.
00:41:38
Shannon DaveyWe have a lot in common. Like I mentioned, we're both Jewish, so we have religion in common. I mean, we're both not super religious, but we do have where we grew up celebrating the same holidays and having similar traditions
00:41:51
Shannon Daveyand stuff like that. Did you go to temple any of that? We used to go to more of like a reformed sort of temple, but we stopped going cuz it was outside
00:42:02
Shannon Daveyand it's just kind of gross to it like in a park. It was weird. Maybe we'll start going again if they like start doing services inside, but
00:42:11
Shannon Daveywhen it's too cold out or too hot, it's weird. Uh, we also are both into comedy, so he's uh into comedy writing and performance as well. And yeah, we just have very
00:42:24
Shannon Daveysimilar like wants for our future and stuff like that. So, so what's he making? Um, so he does a few different things as well for income. I don't know
00:42:35
Shannon Daveyhis exacts of what he's making. Um, but he has a lot of different investments. So, do you make more than he does? At the moment, I think I might
00:42:47
Shannon Daveyactually. It depends on the month and what we're doing, but some months I probably do make more, but he in the grand scheme of things has
00:42:57
Andrew Wilsonmore resources and things like that. Gotcha. Okay. So, you don't know how much your person you're dating makes?
00:43:08
Shannon DaveyWell, he doesn't have like a standard job. He's more like a gig economy type with his work. Like, he does video editing and he'll do stuff in the arts for film and stuff like that. Um,
00:43:21
Shannon Daveybut he also just started his own business with my help cuz I run my own businesses, a few of them. So, he's starting a photo booth company. So that's kind of new, but he did have some help from his family in starting that
00:43:34
Shannon Daveyup. So that's where it's a little complicated. What's the complication? Well, like his specific like income, it's like he's maybe not making money yet from the actual business, but he has like family
00:43:46
Shannon Daveyincome, resources, things like that. So he definitely will date outside of a six or seven figure bracket. I mean, it depends on the person. I normally before meeting him would have probably not been
00:43:58
Shannon Daveythat open to it just because of my previous experiences with men who've brought in that type of income and just being kind of comfortable with like
00:44:08
Shannon Daveyupper middle class life. Uh but like I was saying, he has so much that he like brings to the table and we really get along and yeah, he's opened me up to to
00:44:19
Shannon Daveydoing that. Is he older or younger? He's older. He's about 10 years older. Gotcha. Okay. But before him, my past two
00:44:30
Andrew Wilsonrelationships had uh more income coming in from like working and stuff like that. Gotcha. Now, did you do a lot of content creation, right? Yeah. So, did you meet this person cuz they were doing like
00:44:42
Andrew Wilsonclips for you or something like that? No, we met on Bumble. We Yeah, we went on a dating app. Oh, okay. That's right. Gotcha. All right. Well, I guess um I
00:44:53
Andrew Wilsondon't have the notes here. Hang on. That's Yeah. All right. Um sorry you happened to get up. I'm like I I just couldn't keep that going.
00:45:05
JoeyI don't know what you said that. Um has anybody tried the water? Yes. Did it taste weird? Yeah. I don't know. I took one. I don't really think I
00:45:18
Natalie StavolaDoes it taste weird? Like tap. Is it tap? It is tap. Yeah. Okay. Just like T. But should I be concerned? Do you want to
00:45:26
Brian Atlaslet us know why it would taste weird? No, it it's uh we just put in fresh water. Oh, okay. But it's running
00:45:36
Brian Atlasthrough like this filter and I think the like the it's probably not harmful, but like the the filter or something is like giving it a weird taste or something. I don't know. You think it
00:45:48
Gabby (Michigan)smells? I think it s it tastes fine but it smells weird. It tastes fine. Smell that. Yeah, it smells a little citrusy.
00:45:57
GuidanceCitrusy. We all smelling different things. Okay. What is going on? This is what did I sign up for? Like a fish tank. Did y'all fish?
00:46:09
Natalie StavolaDoes the water taste The water tastes water tastes like aquarium. It smells fishy. Does it taste like weird? No, but that's that's interesting. It does smell fishy. I don't even know how that's possible. How
00:46:22
Natalie Stavolais that possible? Can someone Google that? Okay, here's here's what I think it is. Chat, can you help any scientists in the
00:46:30
Brian Atlaschat help us out? So, I had this was like one or two months ago. We bought octopus from Costco. Okay.
00:46:42
Brian AtlasWell, hold on. Hold on. And I kept it in the refrigerator for one day and then we used it during the show and then we tossed it. I think this is my hypothesis
00:46:55
Brian Atlastheory. I don't know whatever. I think somehow and mind you the octopus was uh plastic wrapped you know like it's totally wrapped. Yeah. I think somehow
00:47:07
Brian Atlasthe octopus is so powerful, it seeped into seeped into the air of my refrigerator and somehow it's
00:47:19
Brian Atlasit's been it's not been in there. It was in there for one day and I've cleaned the refrigerator.
00:47:27
SPEAKER_01minuscule minuscule particles of octopus have somehow I don't know this might not make any sense but I
00:47:39
Andrew Wilsonthink we have no it's it sounds very scientific I'm enjoying this but for what other reason scientific would the it smell like seafood well there's a like just a
00:47:51
Andrew Wilsonpossibility that the filter is broken and whatever the chemical compound is smells somewhat close to Oh, the the that could actually explain it. Is that possible? That sounds a lot better than
00:48:02
Brian Atlasoctopus particles from Well, does when you open your refrigerator, do you get whips, right? No. No, I don't smell I don't smell it at all. That was just my
00:48:11
Brian Atlaslike really stupid low IQ hypothesis of okay, there was octopus in there like in a day, but it permeated somehow and there's just
00:48:22
Andrew Wilsonoctopus particles and then they're getting into I'm going with his the filter. Did you rinse the octopus? No. Chances are pretty good that there's just like a bad filter. The compound
00:48:34
Natalie Stavolasmell fishy. You think it's a bad filter? Oh, it did. Yeah, probably a bad filter. Does someone know if if that's possible to have a filter that can smell like fish? Can like I'm looking at see
00:48:45
Natalie Stavolawhat the chat says. Yeah, help please. This is about to turn into a crazy live. Tap water filter contains charcoal. Yes.
00:48:55
Brian AtlasOctopus particles. No. Clean your fridge. I cleaned it.

00:52:49
Shannon Daveybut it's not an engagement cuz we're just not really ready to be engaged. Uh, he knows that I have pretty like high standards when it comes to like the person I'm with and making a certain
