Justin: "I'm twenty— I'm a twenty-eight-year-old dude, and my boyfriend is fifty two." Uh, "My friends are all cool with the gay thing, but how do I approach the age gap? He's a pretty cool guy, and not at all a granddad! Cheers!" And this comes to us from "Yes I Know It's Weird."
Griffin: Listen…
Justin: Okay…
Griffin: The— Okay, listen. Are you listening?
Justin: I am.
Griffin: It kinda sucks that he's not at all a granddad. I'm— I am not—
Travis: [laughs] You'd always have Werther's Originals…
Justin: Yeah.
Griffin: If I was a homosexual, I would totally want a granddad boyfriend!
Justin: Yeah, totally.
Griffin: Think of the benefits!
Justin: Many.
Griffin: …Too many to name.
Justin: Yeah, uh, there's— There's, uh— Uh, using denture cream as lubricant. That's all I've got!
Griffin: See… I— I was gonna make—
Justin: That's not— Were you gonna go around that region, or…?
Griffin: [laughs] Around that area, uh, involving dentures and the options that that provides.
Justin: Whoa! I didn't even think about that! Yeah, take those dentures out, pawpaw!
Griffin: Yumma yumma!
Travis: I was just thinking about—
Justin: [laughs] Yumma yumma, indeed!
Griffin: [laughs] Um—
Travis: I was just thinking about how awesome it would be to roll up to, like, a hardcore gay club with, like, a dude who looks like Andy Griffith in a sweater vest.
Griffin: Or a dude that is Andy Griffith!
Justin: [laughs] What's nice is that you can, uh— You get to eat dinner at, like, 4:30, which is good. That's a— I guess that's [Unintelligible]. Like, ei-either way, I mean, you—
Griffin: Yeah. I could date a grandma and still get that treatment.
Justin: Whoa boy.
Travis: Yeah. What is 'age gap', these days? We're livin' to, like, a hundred and thirty, a hundred and forty.
Justin: That's a good— a great point, Travis: science.
Griffin: Uh, that— I mean, this guy— This guy's got twenty-five years on him, though. I mean, that's a— That's a significant chunk of change.
Justin: Yeah. Um, I— Uh, Twenty four, but…
Travis: You know, who's counting?
Justin: Who's counting? [laughs] Who can do simple subtraction?
Travis: Clearly not Griffin.
Griffin: Clearly not me.
Justin: Not Griffin. [laughs] Uh, well, it's not his birthday. Cut him some slack. Um, I— I think that if your friends are already cool with the gay thing, you gotta understand that, like— Uh, I mean, it's not that they're not understanding. It— It's that— And you might love this grandpa very much, but you're fri— It's still like bringin' an old guy around!
Travis: Oh, get him a T-shirt that says "world's best grandpa," but mark out "grandpa" and write "boyfriend"!
Griffin: [laughs] No, come on. No, come on.
Justin: [laughs] I was gonna go with "lover," but, um—
Griffin: Come on, let's— Let's help thi— this—
Travis: Here's— Here's the important thing when it comes to an age gap: it's not the age that's important, it's the interests. If share the same interests, if you're into the same things, if you get along well, age doesn't matter. But if you don't connect on that level (like, if you wanna go out all the time and he wants to stay home…) If you have different interests, and you're not interested in the same thing (and this applies, you know, for anyone entering into a relationship with an older person, or in any relationship). If you don't have similar interests, if you don't agree on things, it's not a good match! If you do, then who the fuck cares?
Griffin: Well, that's— That's—
Travis: You know, if you guys agree, if you're happy together, then—
Justin: Yeah, and— And they will get— Your friends— I think that if you continue in this relationship, and you continue to bring him around, your friends will get acclimated. Like, they really will. I mean, they— They— They will adjust to— to this guy, and maybe it won't seem so weird to them, uh, a-after a while. Maybe— I mean, we're all just people, right? Underneath the skin?
Travis: Yeah.
Griffin: Um— Uh, they'll get along really well with him, especially once he keeps giving them, like, really old, dry pieces of chewing gum. No, but on the serious though, if you have similar interests with him, and you have similar interests with your friends, they're gonna get along great!
Travis: Yeah, um— Um—
Griffin: You gotta— You've just gotta prove it to 'em.
Travis: That being said, be— be prepared for the fact that you will get that initial, like—
Griffin: So much.
Travis: "Who is that guy!?" And— And you just have to be braced for that. You know, I have a lot of friends who are in relationships with— who— People much older them, and, I mean, it's one of those things where you just have to be ready for that initial, like, "Wow, he's a lot older than you." And you go, "I know, but I love him."
Justin: Oh my God, oh my God… Have him show up and say he is your granddad, and then, halfway— half—
Griffin: No… This is—
Justin: No, wait! Now wait! Now listen! Hear me say— Hear me out!
Griffin: This is the worst thing you've ever said. [disgruntled sounds]
Justin: Hear me— Hear me out! Have him come and say he is your granddad, and then halfway through the night, just, like, you two just tongue kiss like crazy. And then he'll be like— Then he'll be like, "WHAT UP, FUCKERS? MIND BLOWN!" And everyone will be like, "WOW, YOU'RE THE COOLEST GUY EVER!" And then you say, "NO, BUT WE ARE SERIOUSLY IN LOVE!"
Travis: And then he breaks into a great guitar solo!
Justin: [laughs] "We're very much in love, uh, really!" And they will be so punked, that they will love it.
Griffin: [dryly] Yes. So, when you're looking for the best way to acclimate your friends to your older boyfriend, the best thing you can do is pretend he's your grandpa.
Justin: And then—
Griffin: And just bone down on him.
Travis: [laughing] And then tongue kiss him.
Justin: Right, tongue kiss him in the middle of the night. I hope our dad, [laughing] who is three years older than this guy, does not listen to this show, and us saying that a fifty-two-year-old man is, like, pretty much—
Griffin: Grandpa age. [laughs]
Justin: [laughing] Pretty much dead! He's pretty much like a dead guy. It's like— It's like the Crypt Keeper, followin' you around!
