What's up girl? Sorry Hey guys. What's up? How you doing? My name's Emma. I'm from the Bay Area Bay Area Where are you calling from? Looks like you're at work? Yeah, I'm at work. I work in finance. Are you actually in, you're not in San Francisco? No, I'm in Walnut Creek. Okay. Beautiful. Is that painting for sale back there? Is that what that thing is on the side of it? It's like a they're all prints of like famous ones. We have clients come in though and they

recognize them and it makes me feel uncultured. Like Eric, Eric's a bitch he got caught with it. He's like, oh it's up with the paintings. Yeah because they get this thing on the side. Look at them. Oh can I buy that? I can't stand you. What do you got for us girl? Um, I had like three different topics. So I don't really I guess I'll throw all three of them. Go ahead What not why not fire away? Yeah First one is with the new year. I'm considered. I've been vegetarian for 15 years Wow So I'm kind of considering going back to eating meat. Welcome. But I'm not 100% sure. And then the other ones were my boyfriend and I live with our best friend who's our roommate and we kind of want to move out, but we feel bad leaving him behind.

Yep. And then the last one is just I feel like people are rushing into crazy commitments without ever being, like without ever testing the water, like getting engaged and having kids. I just feel like I'm having a lot of my social media. There's a lot to uncover here. First of all, let's tackle one at a time. But why?

With the vegan question. What's the reason? Well, hold on. Do you feel good what you're doing? Vegetarian, not vegan. Oh yeah, vegetarian. So I'm pescatarian actually now. That's what my mama is.

That means she eats fish. I started, it's for sushi, it's only for sushi. Yeah, yeah, gotcha. I started with my family, we did it kind of for Lent, and then my mom and I just kept going. I get it. But now that I live with my boyfriend, it's kind of been like, I kind of just want to cook one meal

We like when you live with two guys. How does that work? She ain't cooking with the roommates taking care of her man and then the roommates Oh, yeah, no, it's just me and my me and my guy and then he fends for himself. Okay, he doesn't eat your leftovers He's not like oh you have to label everything Like strict carnivore so he only eats meat. So basically if I make pasta and stuff he doesn't touch it. I like this guy.

What a weird dynamic. That's a weird dynamic, yeah. All right, so and why wouldn't you go eat meat again? I don't know. I think it's just I've been doing it for so long I'm kind of scared to go back. I think Trump got elected and she was like, I want some meat now.

Yeah. Yeah. That's a Chris Johnson behind you. No, I just feel like if I do eat meat, all I'm gonna want is the bad stuff. But the only thing is with the whole pescatarian or even the vegan thing, are you doing it because you care about animals?

Yes. So have you ever looked at... I feel bad how they're treated. No doubt. But I know I can get the, sorry, I know I can get like good, like sustainable proteins. Yeah, there's ways you can eat where you don't have to worry about, have that guilt. But then also, not that you're vegan, but the vegan, like have you ever seen, like, for them to get all the vegetables, how many animals die with with all the farming that's another reason I'm kind of like yes it's all my really yeah so if the reasons oh I don't want to hurt animals

it doesn't really work for vegans anymore right so I would say fire away and get some meat all right what was the next the roommate one I mean how long you been with your boyfriend? We just celebrated four years. Oh, that's a long time. And who is this other guy? Friends of his? Yeah, who is he?

Yeah, he's been best friends with him for a long time. How old is he? When we decided to move in together, it's just cheaper to have a roommate. Yeah, of course. And they've lived together before in the past. He's basically become like a brother to me. How old is he though? We're, we're all, uh, me and my boyfriend are 26, turning 27 this year. And then our roommates turning 30 this year.

Okay. Yeah. He needs to go. So, um, well, he's already trying to buy a house. Oh, so he wants to buy a house this year. Oh, good for him. He's been saving. You're good.

But as far as you're moving with him, we're moving into your house. Well, that was the idea, but now that it's kind of coming around, we want to start a family. And I don't want to do that with a roommate. That's just kind of like a standard. I have to do it myself. You know what it is? It's you and your man are trying to level up and grow up.

That's what that is. Yeah. Yeah. And what was the third question? Oh, people rushing into shit? Yeah, I just feel like I question? Oh people rushing into shit Yeah, I just feel like I've been seeing a lot of people that I like went to high school with and they're just they're my same Age and getting engaged and having kids and I just feel like I've been with my boyfriend for four years I know he's my guy, right? We already have everything figured out like but I'm in no hurry. It'll happen when it happens. Yeah

Yeah, I feel like there's a sense of urgency. But why for the huge commitment? Yeah, there's a sense of urgency with everybody. I think it's just the times we're living in that feels like chaos. So people are like, man, I gotta get living. May I Steve Harvey this for a second? Oh, yeah.

Yes, please. First of all, there's no right or wrong way to do any of this kind of stuff. Everybody's on their own journey. And you and your guy have your thing, and there are people that might look at that and be like oh wow you're with the same guy for four years and you guys aren't married. I mean there's people that can look at that a certain way too. You know what I mean? So there's no right or wrong way to do it and like some people want to be with a person they know just like you know

it's your guy. These people know it's their person too, and they wanna start their thing. I mean, it's like, look, I'm a late dad, okay? Very late. I'm very late into it being a dad, and there's some people, ha ha, and there's some people who, his teeth. There's some people who like, like you have your thing to yourself, you're 26,

so how, like do you wanna have kids? Yeah. So how old do you wanna be when your kid turns 10? And how many kids do you want? And how many kids do you want? Right, yeah. So like, yeah, you're, Yeah. So how old do you want to be when your kid turns 10? And how many kids you want. And how many kids do you want? Right, yeah. So like yeah, I think that this generation of people right now think like having kids is setting you back and I can't do the things I want to do in my life.

It doesn't work like that. That's not the right thinking. If you're ready to have a family, have a family because it's not going to stop you from doing anything. And if you're 26 now, when your kid is 10, you'll be 36. When your kid is 20, you'll be 46. So what do you wanna do? You know what I mean? 56, 30, I guess.

So you have to ask yourself that. What do you wanna be? So you're saying, now I'm doing all this now, and we know what we wanna do, do you? And does your man want kids too? He's on the same path? Yeah, basically our plan is that this is like the last year having roommates.

Like I wanna have a like- You wanna create your own roommate. In the process of having a kid by the end of the year. Love it, and he's all about it too? Yeah, but it's just a matter of- Yeah, yeah, not with the roommate. You know, living without a roommate. It's expensive in the Bay Area.

What a magical time though. 27, starting a family. I'm excited for you guys. Yeah, that's awesome. That's actually awesome, dude. But that's what I'm saying. Especially him being 27, being like, yeah, I'm ready to start a family. I wish I had my shit together.

Yeah, but she's got a great job. You work in finance? You're gonna be fine. Yeah, yeah. And what does he do? I work in finance, like wealth management. And what does he do? He has a band. He does kind of work. You gotta be fine. Yeah, yeah I work in finance, like wealth management. And what does he do? He has a band.

He does aerial line work. So he works on the, yeah, like the telecommunication lines and whatnot. Oh, wow, so this tells me something. This tells me something. So, okay, I have a feeling, so you guys are a little bit, would you consider yourselves a little high maintenance?

But I also feel like she's a mature 27-year. No, no, no. No, no. What I'm trying to tell you is like-

I do consider myself mature. Yeah. Sometimes you want to live- We're so mature. You want to live in a nice, nice place. Sometimes you're like, oh, you know, we can live in a really nice place if we get a roommate. Sometimes- Yeah, no.

No, I don't really know. I consider myself, I have more liberal social views, but I have more Republican economic views. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you're a smart gal. That's everybody. That's everyone, yeah.
