• I would love to see a show on empty nesters life after children move out and how to move forward with your marriage

• I would rather watch Gladiator than Braveheart.

• I've got a child on the way, don't know the gender but I'm terrified. Absolutely terrified. I just want them to have as good of a childhood as I did and I'm terrified of messing that up. I had the best non toxic non chaotic childhood ever.

• The old absent dad messed girl up syndrome…..

  Stick with your spouse folks. For your spouse, for your kids, and for everyone's future

• Dang John you looking real fresh my man.

• So the woman that dates a married man with kids, tries to convince her married friend divorce? Even after the man changed jobs so they can actually see eachother and be a couple? Please tell me this not real. The wife needs to stop sharing her intimiate details would anyone, especially with friends with having crappy lives themselves. There is no abuse or cheating going, so what thebehck is happening here? Mind-blowing!

• Didn't that movie buff caller say that he was Gen X? I know for me and my husband movie quotes are the way we talk to one another. It is kind of a genX thing too…

• What a sea you en tee

• There is not enough Delco in the first caller's accent

• First caller sure knows how to pick em

• The last caller about being a movie fanatic doesn't mention the eras and genres of movies he is mostly into. He mentioned at least a couple he seems to be a fan of but not much else. Also, if his wife, whom he says has no interest or use for movies, but she watches "TV", what does she watch? Fake reality TV or competition TV shows. I sure hope not because that crap is way worse than most films. I wish they would have touched on that subject/question. My favorite eras are mostly silent, pre-code, and 30s, I'm picky about any eras after those years. I have plenty of movies made after my preferred eras all the way up until the present day that I really like or love.

• Andrew's call was so beautiful ❤

• Let him be a human….thanks, sincerely men.

• For those commenting on the first caller: Jon did a good job at handling this; you just don't really see the full picture, you don't see the husband's behavior. This doesn't obsolve the caller of her behavior, but Jon is working with what he has.

• What I got from the first caller is she doesn't like how her huband disciplines the kids. She is trying to "protect" her children from him. I didn't see too much digging about this topic in the call. Maybe he is too aggressive with how he treats the kids. Maybe he doesn't get the respect he desires because she views him as a bully when it comes to child rearing. I think they should both be in therapy to figure out why his parenting style triggers her.

• Woman she seems pleasant, but clearly has bad judgment in men

• The issue with single moms is that if they couldn’t make it work with the man they had a baby for, how are they gonna make it work with you?

• I had to speed ahead to hear smoother.

• I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year.. Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life

• Ugh, i had to skip that first caller. Couldn't stomach her attitude.

• Sometimes the host of the show talks more than the callers and makes a lot of assumptions. He almost creates a separate story! Dude, write a novel! But if you are a therapist, dude… Listen to your callers and let them talk, don't create stories. I listened many of his shows and he always does that.

• The second callers wife's friend sounds nothing like a friend at all. She sounds just absolutely awful! Like the worst person out there. Who does those sorts of things? She's a home wrecker and trying to wreck (in a different way) someone else's home. She's awful!!!

• Damn, imagine that… Calling in to a podcast trying to do your best to put the blame on everyone else but you, just to figure out you're the pathetic crap under the shoes just by reading what society has to say (in to comments). This woman is pathetic… Just an excuse of a human being. And she's a mother for crying out loud…

• A lot of what she says down to her baby daddy’s I have the same issue with, the only thing different is that my dad is was around he just mentally cut me off of love. But my daughters dad was actually a passive man…It’s been very difficult and it can be so lonely because I always feel like I can’t get it right. Like I was in this relationship for 8 years and he just decided one day to cheat and lie and basically left me alone to raise my 3rd child, we had plans to have this child and get married and over a year later he did that to me and now he sees her and he’s a decent father but he still leads me on. It’s hard because I want to be with him so bad but I can’t trust him anymore but he says it’s because I was controlling and I don’t understand any other way to be because he never had a problem with me back then, it’s like when we broke up he saw I lost weight and started dating too then he all the sudden wants to hook up.

• Caller #1 is a great example of why men should be cautious about getting involved with single moms.

• 3:55 Ma'am, no one cares about how many fathers your chidren have.🙄 Youre not the first or last. Its not a death sentence nor does it make you special OR a bad person. Thats not even why you called. Red pill dudes might get a kick out of grilling you, but they dont have wives, so who cares. Your projection toward them is more off putting than the failed relationship you had in the past. NEVER PLAY TO YOUR ENEMIES. Just tell the truth to the guy your speaking to and care more about getting help, than what you may look like to people youll never meet, and have their own problem theyre too chicken to get help for.

• The second guy sounds like my best friend's (now ex husband) talking about me as the friend, but failing to admit how abusive he was toward her. I hope that's not the case with that guy, but my first thought was, that was sorta me as the friend being supportive to let my friend know she was better than that. But again, I paused in the middle to say this about that situation and I hope that's not the case for that woman. If it's not, then maybe his wife's friend really is that terrible.

• U said ur going to push the husband away n he will leave but then said her dad left bc there was a problem with him………oooorrrrrrr maybe the her mom is just like her and her dad left bc the mom was crazy…….

• I'm one of those people that doesn't know how to exist without some chaos in my life but my chaos comes in the form of clutter in the house. Too much clutter and I shut down but I feel lost when there's no clutter at all.

• This women is run through. Should be grateful anyone is willing to take the garbage that is her life.

• If ur too lazy to use protection dueing sex ur probably not gonna make the best parents

• Sometimes i fell like me and my gf r the only people who use condoms……

• All these woman with diff dads 🤮 and then they have the nerve to complain abt hoe hard dateing is…….

• “Not wanting to hear it” is how you end up with three baby daddies. That being said, GOOD FOR HER for trying to turn it around.

• 3 kids 3 different Dads…set up for a challenge for the current guy…What is custody like?
  What kind of guy takes on 3 kids by different fathers…chaos is you…

• First caller, you don’t deserve your husband. I hope he wakes up and sees his worth…. And walks away.

  First caller read this…. YOU SUCK AS A PERSON!

• The first lady is the most "For the Streets" woman I've ever heard.

• Elizabeth is insufferable. She wants a clean up guy to rescue her from her mess. Her husband will NEVER be good enough for her. Nobody will. Listen to the way she described this poor man. He needs to run as fast as he can and leave her with her arrogance, degrees, annoying voice, three doomed kids and constant emotional mess.

• She needs therapy. She needs to resolve trauma. She needs reparenting and reprogramming. Get help with it. Learning to control due to upbringing.

• She didnt make good decisions in her own life and wants to control her hubby. ok. LOL. And shes a smug know-it-all. Hubby needs to run all the way away.

• Second caller – Women try to keep other women single when they can't get a mans themselves lol but watch they get one and they'll drop fast as ever. Women like that are not your friends, those are vultures waiting to turn you into one

• This show is worse than Jerry springer😂

• Men… stop saving these single mothers!!

• But those kids are now wondering why their parent is okay to watch such things……. it teaches them "do as I say not as I do."

• This first woman will never be satisfied with anyone… she married a man who accepted her two children and 2 different baby daddies… something tells me she is the issue not her husband.

• If I were her, I might consider birth control.
