  Oh, look. You just got added to a meeting. About coordinating another meeting. To prepare for the pre-meeting. Ahead of the follow-up meeting. Which will, of course. Require a recap meeting. And then, another meeting. Hit your booking point? Book with Southwest and enter airplane mode.

• 0:30Speaker 01

  Stav, eldest, guest. First time, long time. I joined Patreon because I feel like it's a fair trade for putting a call in.

• 0:38Stavros Halkias?

  Okay, alright.

• 0:39Speaker 01

  Let's get right to the question. Should I get a prenup? This prenup would only involve. My parents' money, any money that we inherit.

• 0:51Speaker 01

  Any money that I make at my bullshit job where I listen to thought-provoking content such as your podcast and people playing video games. That is, you know, if, if we split, that's... Whatever.

• 1:05Stavros Halkias?

  You say your parents' money?

• 1:06Speaker 01

  Reason for getting my parents' money's prenup is that that is. Uh, their money and it's kind of.

• 1:14Speaker 01

  Little secret that I haven't said anything about yet because it's really just up to my parents. My mom got into an accident a while ago and the company that caused the accident gave her a payout of about a million dollars, which is not chump change for some people in our situation.

• 1:30Stavros Halkias?

  Of course not. A million dollars!

• 1:33Speaker 01

  A generational wealth starter.

• 1:38Speaker 01

  Understand that it's, you know, I wouldn't hoard it, but it's really my parents' money.

• 1:45Speaker 01

  I have no reason to think that we would ever divorce. Uh, my fiancee is an incredible woman who does so much, puts in so much work into our relationship. She's loyal, incredibly loyal to me. She puts up with my bullshit. I do the same for her, loyal. I don't. Want to get a divorce ever, right? I don't feel like chasing women is my strong suitor interest.

• 2:12Stavros Halkias?

  Uh, interesting, but that's why.

• 2:15Speaker 01

  In my gut, I'm like, just get a prenup for this little chunk of change, like.

• 2:21Speaker 03

  I can't fuck anybody else.

• 2:23Speaker 01

  I don't know.

• 2:24Speaker 03

  The dating thing is like.

• 2:25Speaker 01

  Either way, um, would love your advice on this.

• 2:30Speaker 03

  Been there.

• 2:31Speaker 01

  Much love, uh, please for the love of God, can you get to two eighty next season of Star to Get Fit?

• 2:37Stavros Halkias?

  Maybe.

• 2:38Speaker 01

  If you do, next time you come to my city, I'll make you a.

• 2:42Stavros Halkias?

  Uh, listen, I don't need shit from you, motherfucker.

• 2:44Speaker 01

  Think about it.

• 2:45Stavros Halkias?

  I don't need your fucking little bitch ass to, to fucking motivate me, okay? Let's get that straight. Let's get that straight. This, a, a prenup, prenups in general, very interesting concept. Cause it's like, you know, I don't know. I feel kinda weird about it in general. I see why somebody would do it.

• 3:07Speaker 04

  Would you get one?

• 3:08Speaker 03

  I feel like they're pretty, they're, they're very pro women.

• 3:11Stavros Halkias?

  The prenup?

• 3:12Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 3:13Stavros Halkias?

  It, they're pro women?

• 3:14Speaker 03

  I feel like a lot of it is like, if you're like a stay at home mom, you don't get fucked.

• 3:18Stavros Halkias?

  Hmm, a prenup?

• 3:20Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 3:21Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, cause they have certain, cause we're only thinking of it as a protect your money thing, but it can also be like, if we get divorced.

• 3:27Speaker 03

  I get half your shit.

• 3:28Stavros Halkias?

  Certain stuff, but a prenup basically says you don't get, or there's a certain amount you don't get or something, right?

• 3:33Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 3:33Speaker 05

  I think the default for a while was like, we each leave the marriage with whatever we had when we started, but there's gotta be lots of some complications.

• 3:42Stavros Halkias?

  Interesting. I think this, he's basically saying.

• 3:44Speaker 03

  Signing a prenup is to.

• 3:45Stavros Halkias?

  To not give money.

• 3:47Speaker 03

  Really?

• 3:47Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, cause right now women do get half.

• 3:49Speaker 03

  Prenups just means like, uh, pre-negotiated, uh, and that other stuff was included too.

• 3:55Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 3:56Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, it's a, yeah, nuptial, what, yeah, I don't, it's like some agreement about what you would do if you separated.

• 4:01Speaker 03

  Definitely, I'm the, yeah, good, I'm good, good people to give advice about it.

• 4:08Speaker 04

  There's probably a million ways you could like, set them up, like, this bitch can't have the money in this account, but we share this account or something like that, you know?

• 4:16Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, that's a good, I guess I've never thought if I would get one. I just realized that.

• 4:20Speaker 03

  Moms who are like, who get half their man shit?

• 4:22Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, that's, that's not a prenup. That's just, that's just they changed the laws to do that.

• 4:26Speaker 03

  Oh, like in certain states again?

• 4:28Stavros Halkias?

  I don't know, I think most places.

• 4:30Speaker 03

  It's like, you ever hear like, they're getting divorced in New York, so. She's going away with half his money.

• 4:35Stavros Halkias?

  Oh yeah, there's certain places, yeah, yeah, yeah. There, I don't know what the specifics are. I guess I don't really see what the.

• 4:42Speaker 03

  Oh, sorry.

• 4:42Speaker 04

  You're good.

• 4:42Stavros Halkias?

  It's one of those interesting things where it's like. It really shouldn't be a problem either way.

• 4:47Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 4:48Stavros Halkias?

  Like, I don't see what the pro- like, if you're really in it. It's kind of the way you buy life insurance. You know what I mean? It's like, I don't want to die early, but if it happens, and it's kind of the same thing where it's like.

• 5:00Speaker 03

  Big if.

• 5:01Stavros Halkias?

  Huge, we don't even know what it could possibly be. I don't even want to sit here and contemplate, but. Let's just right now come up with like a fair thing.

• 5:10Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 5:10Stavros Halkias?

  I don't think that's that crazy.

• 5:11Speaker 03

  I don't think it's that crazy. I would do it. If I get married. Papers on papers.

• 5:15Stavros Halkias?

  Really?

• 5:15Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 5:16Stavros Halkias?

  So you would want a very specific like, hey, if we get divorced, we each just get whatever we came with type situation? Yeah, I think that's pretty fair.

• 5:23Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 5:23Stavros Halkias?

  I think some, even some kind of smaller settlement or some bullshit.

• 5:26Speaker 03

  Yeah, and you never know, you could be dating, you could be married to someone two months and, oh, they're freaking out. This is not the person I don't, and then boom.

• 5:33Stavros Halkias?

  I kind of agree.

• 5:34Speaker 03

  Get out cleanly. You still know people.

• 5:36Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 5:37Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 5:37Speaker 03

  It's not even, it's no offense to the person you're with.

• 5:40Stavros Halkias?

  But I also.

• 5:40Speaker 03

  I've heard guys be like, it's not that romantic, bitch. Get that shit signed.

• 5:44Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 5:45Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 5:45Stavros Halkias?

  It isn't romantic, and that's true, but also it's a kind of, it's kind of like the putting a condom on of marriage.

• 5:50Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 5:51Stavros Halkias?

  You're stopping the momentum.

• 5:53Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 5:54Stavros Halkias?

  And the, but anyway, like, once we do it, we go back to, but it's responsible, yeah. Yeah.

• 5:58Speaker 03

  It's the same.

• 5:58Stavros Halkias?

  It's not as risky.

• 6:02Stavros Halkias?

  It's not as risky.

• 6:04Speaker 03

  Do I want a nod?

• 6:05Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 6:08Speaker 05

  Do we think couples without prenups manage their disputes and arguments better than couples that do have prenups?

• 6:15Stavros Halkias?

  Oh.

• 6:15Speaker 05

  Because if you're that guy, or that girl, whoever has the more money in the relationship. Are you barging, are you playing, you're running without, you're flying without a net, you're playing all. You know, it's a battle to the death. You gotta resolve your issues or face losing half your shit.

• 6:31Speaker 04

  There's, there's a certain thing to it where it's like, you can just be more honest because, you know. It is like just a very frank way to start like your marriage.

• 6:40Stavros Halkias?

  Right, I think it's a good, that's true, it's like. You will, that's a great point.

• 6:44Speaker 04

  If you care about actually doing it, being like, I don't want you to get half my money, but you do it in like a civil way and stuff. It's like, I don't know.

• 6:51Speaker 03

  I think it says like, this is serious.

• 6:53Stavros Halkias?

  And you're right.

• 6:54Speaker 03

  Not that I'm a marriage hound, but.

• 6:55Stavros Halkias?

  No, no.

• 6:57Speaker 03

  It shows a commitment.

• 7:00Stavros Halkias?

  But no, I see what you mean.

• 7:04Stavros Halkias?

  When you're married, you're gonna have to talk, you're gonna have some serious, uncomfortable talk, so why not start with one? You good, Mr. McDade? Yeah, you go crazy, buddy. So.

• 7:17Speaker 04

  I'll come hold your peen.

• 7:23Speaker 04

  I'll give you any help you need, JP.

• 7:27Speaker 03

  Okay, so yeah, I think it's tough to talk about it.

• 7:29Stavros Halkias?

  Tell her about it.

• 7:30Speaker 03

  It's true. You're gonna have way harder conversations.

• 7:33Stavros Halkias?

  I also love that he's like, it would be for my parents' money and also my money. It's like, really? If mom didn't have that mill in the bank, you're getting a prenup. Shut the fuck up about your money.

• 7:46Speaker 04

  I think, I think like, it would be easy for him to bring up and it wouldn't seem so personal. Because it is like, not his money, it's his family money. And especially if he has like siblings and stuff. I don't know if he does or not, but he could be like, oh, look, you know, this is part of like a bigger family thing.

• 8:04Speaker 03

  Yes, estate.

• 8:05Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's like the estate and.

• 8:07Speaker 03

  It's business, bitch.

• 8:07Speaker 04

  Any decision I make on this, I'd wanna make with my siblings and blah, blah, blah, the people involved.

• 8:12Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, I think that's fair.

• 8:13Speaker 03

  It's business, biatch. If a guy was weird with me and I was supposed to marry him, I would be like, I don't know you.

• 8:18Stavros Halkias?

  Totally. No, that's a good point. If you're with somebody and they handle this exactly the opposite way that you were expecting. You could be like, whoa, do I not know this person?

• 8:29Speaker 03

  I'm like, I'm like, we go to bed, I'm like, goodnight, and we're like. I'm awake, I'm like, who am I?

• 8:37Stavros Halkias?

  Who've I, who've I been sharing my life with?

• 8:39Speaker 04

  At the same time, too, from what he says, though, it sounds like he doesn't like, I don't know. Seems like he has no reason to doubt this woman.

• 8:47Stavros Halkias?

  Right.

• 8:48Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 8:49Speaker 04

  They're together. She doesn't even know about this money, it sounds like.

• 8:52Stavros Halkias?

  Right.

• 8:53Speaker 04

  Pretty happy, so.

• 8:54Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, I mean, listen, I think in the spirit of like, who cares? You should be able to have this conversation. Have the conversation. I would say maybe do it only for your parents' money. To me, that's a very, that's totally nothing.

• 9:08Speaker 03

  Right.

• 9:09Stavros Halkias?

  To be like, hey, I'm getting this amount of money as part of the settlement for it, like, you know.

• 9:14Speaker 03

  Lean on the words settlement, business manager, wealth advisor, wealth advisor. Say your wealth advisor wanted me to do it. Always blame someone else, even if you don't have a wealth advisor.

• 9:24Stavros Halkias?

  Just for this bullshit, too.

• 9:26Speaker 03

  Always make someone up. This person's making me do it.

• 9:28Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, who? Let me talk to him.

• 9:31Speaker 03

  No, no, they can't come to the phone.

• 9:36Stavros Halkias?

  She can hear you.

• 9:37Speaker 05

  Eldis, I need you to pretend that you're from Fisher Investments.

• 9:40Speaker 03

  It's me.

• 9:42Speaker 04

  I'm the guy you want for that.

• 9:43Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, you would be really good at that. Improv and voices. Eldis is strong suit.

• 9:51Stavros Halkias?

  Hello, yep, you gotta do it. Bye bye now.

• 9:53Speaker 03

  Bye.

• 9:54Stavros Halkias?

  She can hear you.

• 9:55Speaker 03

  See you later.

• 9:57Speaker 04

  I just talked to him. He said it makes sense. We need this prenup.

• 10:02Speaker 05

  Under SEC regulatory code 13B, we must have prenuptial agreement in place.

• 10:07Speaker 03

  We gave it our best. Pretends me.

• 10:11Stavros Halkias?

  Uh, so, yeah, dude, that's, uh, that's the fucking answer.

• 10:14Speaker 03

  Run it.

• 10:16Speaker 03

  Run it.

• 10:17Speaker 05

  One time when I was working at a telemarketing job that they told us was not a telemarketing job, they would have our managers like tap in with us on the call and like tell us what to say. So like my manager would be like listening to what I was saying.

• 10:30Stavros Halkias?

  They would fucking practical jokers you?

• 10:31Speaker 05

  Yes, exactly. And one time, the guy could hear the manager talking. He's like, is someone telling you what to say? Kind of kept going. My manager's like, that's my manager. He's helping me. That's my manager. He's helping me make this.

• 10:48Speaker 05

  Humiliating.

• 10:49Stavros Halkias?

  Crazy, dude.

• 10:50Speaker 05

  I got puppet mastered.

• 10:51Stavros Halkias?

  That's crazy.

• 10:53Speaker 03

  His manager's like, ask them where they can go where the restroom for number two is.

• 10:59Speaker 03

  Swap and Sal.

• 11:00Stavros Halkias?

  I have to say it if he says it.

• 11:03Speaker 03

  What happens if they don't say it on the show?

• 11:05Stavros Halkias?

  They fucking.

• 11:06Speaker 03

  On Jokers?

• 11:06Stavros Halkias?

  Well, you don't see, but they have your grandmother just off screen. Yeah. They ever connected to battery, a battery, uh, car battery. Please, I'm sorry, but all. And they zap her if you don't say, you know.

• 11:18Speaker 03

  A joke out of, yeah.

• 11:20Stavros Halkias?

  Please, I'm taking your shirt off in the mall.

• 11:26Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, fuck.
