Lovely
Speaker 2:Welcome to in the grind with Megan Grady sponsored by the records company. I am Megan Rhianna, and this is greedy Merryn and we have been besties ever since I can remember, I think
Speaker 3:Since the fourth grade member, when I had that, like kind of Mr. Belvedere sweater going on in miss Parker's classroom, and it was super, super cold because my parents had just relocated us from Albuquerque New Mexico.
Speaker 2:I do remember that you were so cute. You had on these big glasses and you were shivering. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Bottle cap glasses. How embarrassing? I don't think we could afford contacts at the time. And those are the glasses that I had probably for the three years prior to moving. But at any rate, welcome to Aberdeen, Ohio,
Speaker 2:The foothills of the Appalachian. I think we both
Speaker 3:Been all around the world all separated
Speaker 2:For many years. Yeah. But we always, we always find our way back to each other and now we're doing and the grind in Cincinnati and it's crazy. Yeah. It only took a pandemic to bring us back together
Speaker 3:All the way from Nevada for you,
Speaker 2:Las Vegas, baby.
Speaker 3:And you loved it out there for a time for a time,
Speaker 2:But it's not, it doesn't glitter for me anymore. And I think that we're just kind of excited just to be doing something new. Yeah. It feels good to be home. Yeah.
Speaker 3:We're just trying to like expand our horizons and talk and just kind of connect with people. I think that now probably is the best time to do that.
Speaker 2:Yeah. We're, we're very excited about this new world energy and finding both new and creative ways to connect with each other and our listeners around the world. And every one of us is in the grind of everyday life. So we want to reach out and spread love and ideas and inspiration knowledge experience. And of course, laughter Grady. You always make me freaking laugh, but well, part of the reason why
Speaker 3:Maybe a slight sense of dry humor or it could be the critic inside me
Speaker 2:And who the hell does it mean to laugh right now? I mean, come on. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah. I think the world needs a hell of a lot more. Laughter.
Speaker 2:Oh, speaking of that. Great. Do you remember? I mean, you've been in my life so long. Do you remember when I was married for like two years to that one guy? Yeah. Wasn't he gay?
Speaker 3:I don't know. All I remember is he had some ripped abs on your refrigerator.
Speaker 2:I don't even remember that.
Speaker 3:I think that he idolized himself. It was like some sense of motivation for him. And on your refrigerator in the Mount Adams area, this guy had like a 12 pack on the door. You know, he
Speaker 2:Had more clothes and more cologne. I mean he had more cologne than I did and he loved it.
Speaker 3:Cook was I'm more attracted to him than you were
Speaker 2:Maybe? Probably. Yes. Did you know that I married a gay man?
Speaker 3:No, I did have a sense though. I think I told you on the first time that I met him that I thought he was gay.
Speaker 2:That is the reason I divorced him. I think. I mean, I mean girls, how do you know if your man's gay?
Speaker 3:How did you not know? I mean, remember that time you had that PO box. I know I was on vacation. You called me up, you were in frantic sex, you were crying. Your life
Speaker 2:Has a PO box
Speaker 3:That has porn sent to it so that no one else knows. And I'm like, gee, I really don't have much on that, but I know that gay guys do watch straight porn.
Speaker 2:I know that's what you told me. That's so crazy. And why?
Speaker 3:I don't even know. I don't know. It's a complete, complete dark so, Well, it's very confusing these days. I mean, we had Metro sexuals and now I think that we've moved past that and now we are kind of into, you know, using pronouns with they, them, us it's all very, I'm confused. Do
Speaker 2:You remember that? It was, it was Harry porn.
Speaker 3:What is Harry porn?
Speaker 2:It was people in the porno that were Harry.
Speaker 3:Well, maybe it reminded him of a cat,
Speaker 2:So embarrassing anyways. And it makes, it does make you think something is wrong with yourself. And really he's just not that interested in what I have to offer. I mean, I thought, why is he so detached? Why is he always lying? It's hard on a woman's self-esteem for sure or anyone for that matter. There's no real competition. Is there?
Speaker 3:No. So I used to think that too, I would always be upset because I couldn't compete with a female. You know what I mean? I can't compete with a female. So I would have to say that it probably was pretty disheartening for you. Maybe D beyond disappointing. You got a divorce for God's sakes. I mean, it was a lovely wedding though. I had a great chocolate fountain. Oh, thank you. Did you get to enjoy it? No.
Speaker 2:I'm glad that you did.
Speaker 3:They aren't and I help get you dressed. I remember that
Speaker 2:Amazing during my wedding. I remember you held like my dress the whole time for me, so I wouldn't step on it. And you were just amazing and you were a bridesmaid and you had a bouquet and you looked amazing.
Speaker 3:Yeah. I actually remember that I was young. I didn't require Botox and fillers or any of those sorts of things. I'm not an admitting to anything of course. But I would just say, if ladies want to know if their guy's gay usually most, all the time gay men can tell you, Oh, why didn't I just ask
Speaker 4:Friend? Oh my gosh. Well they say, if you love something to let it go. And if it comes back to you, it's yours. And if it doesn't, it never was. So I got them all yours, Grady and we're back.
Speaker 3:We are. In fact back, speaking of being back, I would like to introduce a good friend of mine, a confidant, a business partner, gypsy Xtrordinair, miss a goddess. Zachary. Oh,
Speaker 4:Hello. Hi guys. Hi.
Speaker 1:Hey. Hey. So
Speaker 3:We thought we would delve into an interesting topic. I know you've been listening to us. So what do you think about Megan's two year stint? Well,
Speaker 4:She was probably very young back there, right? Yeah. I was the, I would have to assume maybe a little bit naive and you know, we don't see things that we don't want to see. Um, we don't listen to our gut feeling. I think with age we get more and more sensitive to it and
Speaker 3:Yeah, possibly a little bitter too. I get told that quite often I might be a bitter pill. She hit the nail on the head. Cause I, I
Speaker 4:Joint shopping with him and cooking with him and he was like my best friend. Yeah.
Speaker 3:He cooked a lot. As a matter of fact, he used to always compliment him for his cooking. You said he cooked a hell of a lot better than anyone else that, that had cooked for you. So Megan had a
Speaker 1:Friend
Speaker 3:And, and he was in school too at the time I think. So he wanted to be a nurse. Not saying that that's a feminine field or anything. I'm just saying that he was definitely in touch with the more delicate side. Did you have late night pillow talk?
Speaker 1:I got it. We're back to you.
Speaker 3:So, uh, God, I thought that we talk a little bit about dating in 2020 and the much dreaded COVID all while balancing work life and your thoughts on Meg living in an RV. Yep. She's living in an RV back from Vegas, parked outside of her parents' home and grabbing life by the horns. I think
Speaker 4:Bang. It is very creative and as a turnout, very smart way to approach. She basically drag her home wherever she wants to go. There was always roof over her head. What is that song? The gypsy song. There's roof of my head, you know, or the gypsy honey
Speaker 1:[inaudible]
Speaker 4:So Megan can go tomorrow. Wherever she wants. Sushi can move to Florida. She can go to Oregon and just drag her little house with her.
Speaker 3:Yes. And she can avoid COVID by staying in her RV and just kind of being a transient.
Speaker 4:No, I love it. I have to say it's the best place I've ever lived.
Speaker 3:What is it like to, what do you do? I don't want to get too grotesque, but when you have to use the bathroom at night, um,
Speaker 4:Well right now I'm on the side of my mom's house. So I have
Speaker 3:No hookups. I just pee in a cup. Oh wow. That's definitely, definitely an interest
Speaker 1:[inaudible] well, actually that happened once it overflowed. Oh,
Speaker 3:I don't even know where to go with that.
Speaker 1:I mean, COVID, I have a lot of sanitizer wipes and I just cleaned up my little mess, but yeah, it was a little, um, sleepy. I would have to say,
Speaker 4:Well, as long as you do that and doesn't, you know, what do you remember the story about? What was it? The astronaut lady who put a diaper on and drove straight through across United States to get to her husband who was cheating on her. And she didn't even stop to pee. She liked pee in the diaper. So as long as you don't do that,
Speaker 1:Uh, piddle pads, I've got, uh, I've got period underwear. That's about it.
Speaker 3:So let's talk about dating. Yes. So
Speaker 1:What do we talk about? Goddess hair first? Yeah.
Speaker 3:Let's talk about a goddess hair. Beautiful.
Speaker 1:I mean, she is beautiful and her
Speaker 3:Hair radiant. It's radiant.
Speaker 4:Okay. So I'm going to tell you this, this actually I went to my beautician on Friday. I had an appointment just for straight, regular highlights. And as I'm sitting there and I see one beautician working on somebody, her hair is green, the one that's purple. And I'm thinking, Oh God, why am I so boring? And this over and over?
Speaker 3:Because Biden one. No, no, but I'll tell you what,
Speaker 1:I'm just joking
Speaker 4:The game I remember for you. It is progressive. But on the other hand that I remember when I lived in Poland and I was actually in kindergarten, I was five years old and every time I was drawing pictures, all my prints assists and my pictures had a blue or purple hair. And I remembered the cleaning lady would the broom coming around the table I was sitting at and she would always crit as ice. My princesses, an org. You with five-year-old, there is no people with blue and purple hair. So on Friday, almost 40 years later, I'm thinking to myself, I'm going to show this cleaning lady. There is a princesses with purple hair. So here I call what I've always wondered
Speaker 1:The same thing I wondered ever since I was a little girl
Speaker 3:Financial hair too. It's kind of like fuse Shaw. Well it's what does it say though? Chili pepper.
Speaker 1:Chili pepper. Um, Oh, it's a bike shop in Moab.
Speaker 3:So I like to, are you a biker lady? Yeah, my mountain bike. Not, not, not like a motorcycle. The broom broom. Right. Okay. I'm sorry. I would love to vroom vroom though, for sure. I, a deer jumped out of me when I got on a crotch rocket once and that was not pleasant.
Speaker 1:It was, you had that on camera. Maybe not.
Speaker 3:I didn't know how close I was to my life ending. So are you dating by the way, since we're doing talk about dating, are you dating Megan
Speaker 1:Sometimes? Not really going for you? Same old, same old. I mean, I'm dating the same, same old that I've been dating for here and there, but not really. I'm kind of working on myself. I think I went on a date like this past weekend. I went to Texas and, and dated. I, I got to eat some good, really great food.
Speaker 3:What kind of advice? Uh gada can you lend all these younger and older people that are kind of just out there in life trying to find their special person?
Speaker 4:Well, you know, I will just say, I guess main thing is don't settle for something you are not happy with. And I've been already married for 21 years. The[inaudible] and uh, no, thank you. Thank you. Um, how I met him, I actually was sitting with somebody that I've dated for a year and a half and I fought this guy, was it. And I was heavily in love and my twenties. And then this guy comes in to the room and my boyfriend introduced me to him. And the minute I met him, I knew that as my husband, you knew it. I knew it. I knew it.
Speaker 3:Wait a minute, you had been with someone like, were you, were you married or you're just with someone.
Speaker 4:So yes, as bad as the sound, my boyfriend introduced me to my husband. So, um, I would say Dom, settle for something that maybe does make you happy, um, being tune with your senses, listen to your gut. And also those days, you know, with all the internet dating and everything, take a warning signs really seriously.
Speaker 1:You've given me hope. I looked up her name last night because her name is beautiful. Okay. It's like a goddess. I didn't know that. And did you know that a goddess means good and virtuous? Yes. That's actually,
Speaker 3:Uh,
Speaker 4:That's a Greek name, but uh, used in Poland a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah. It's beautiful. I really like it. Well, thank you.
Speaker 4:Nobody can pronounce it here. Usually when they asked me for my name and I say a Garda and they say, Oh, I can never remember that. I always, I always want to say now. No, no Agatha Christie here. What do you think about like people it's gotta be
Speaker 3:So lousy to meet people through dating apps. I've heard horror stories about just meeting people in random places that you really can't connect with through an app, because I can tell you from personal experience back in the internet cafe days, when I used to galley van off to the internet cafe, when I was supposed to be in class and get on some chat rooms to meet up with someone, you know, it just, the person that I'm talking to is not the person I'm meeting 99% of the time. I mean, one time this guy brought me a Teddy bear. I couldn't get him to leave me alone. It was kind of freaky. Actually. It was very freaky. He brought you a Teddy bear yell on our first date.
Speaker 2:I have a camera inside of it
Speaker 3:Back in the days before cameras. As a matter of fact, it was a little risky meeting somebody right, without a cell phone. Although I think I still had like this ginormous long bottle cell phone, but I don't know it just, how do you connect with somebody?
Speaker 4:So the other day I was watching one of my favorite shows investigation. And actually that one was about online dating and unfortunately, or all cases they show are the ladies, God either attacked or killed after a few dates. Now, my thing is those like extreme cases. And, um, I know several good stories from people who met online and are still married and have children. And you know, I just think when you put yourself out there, whether is through, you know, online services or you could be out in the target shopping. And when you meet somebody, you just have to be careful. Um, you'll have to listen to your God, to your instinct, to now on. Sometimes even that doesn't work. I mean, you never know.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I also know that there's an app that you can download. I think it's life three 60. I have that on my phone and you can create a folder and hide it. So no one knows that you have it. And um, you could share your location with like your mom or your best friend. And you can even have a group on there with people that you trust. So you could tell them, Hey, I'm going out with this guy tonight, locate me. And if I'm not home by this time, you know, you know, something's wrong, but that's a great app that I think a lot of women need to know about. And a lot of people need to know about it, not just women.
Speaker 4:Oh, so this is more or less like to protect you for your site.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I know that, um, a lot of women are found because they have this tracker on their phone.
Speaker 3:I'm talking about us as a cure. If I'm thinking about a security standpoint, that's kind of disturbing to me. I think that the iPhone can be tracked anyway. I think other phones can, but I know specifically the iPhone can, I don't know. I just don't like people being able to have access to my location all the time, but I understand the need to have that.
Speaker 2:Right? Yeah. I like my mama know him. Didn't you?
Speaker 3:Didn't your last boyfriend put a tracker on your car?
Speaker 2:Who knows? That's scary to me on that app though. And you were concerned about that. Didn't you find like
Speaker 3:Some suspicious object on your car? You took it to the dealer or something? Yeah. I ended up being nothing. So, well, go ahead, go ahead and put it past him or anyone for that matter that you've dated.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh. I'm going to have to be on a dating show. Oh, wait. I've already been there. Oh, that's true.
Speaker 3:You did do a dating show. Did anything materialize?
Speaker 2:Yeah. I, I became great friends with someone in Vegas and he was actually my neighbor and lived, um, a mile away from me. We used to go to the dog park together, but we're still friends.
Speaker 3:So, uh, gada you're from Poland, right? Yes. So tell us what's Poland. Like what's Europe, like you said, you met the man of your dreams earlier.
Speaker 4:Yes. So Poland is an amazing country. I just actually went last year to visit and fell in love all over again with Polan. Um, I had a great time, however, science, we were in a dating subject. I left Poland when I was 17. Um, Virgin Sai was not dating in Poland. You were a Virgin. Oh yeah. When? Yeah, I wish
Speaker 2:I was a Virgin. I would sell my virginity.
Speaker 4:Yeah. I was a Virgin until I was 18. But um, you see
Speaker 2:Her name does mean good and virtuous.
Speaker 3:It does. Absolutely. And you put your virginity in a cup and on a shelf and you sell it, like it's a retail object. I would have known about that before.
Speaker 4:So, no, I mean, I didn't have a chance to date in Poland. Um, we ran away due to political reason at that time. It was, uh, mother Russia took over Poland. That's why we ran away and I live for about 10 years in Germany. So dating in Europe was not that great for me. I, at the time thought that the guys, um, uh, specially in Germany were pretty lame, you know? Um, until one day I don't remember how I was introduced to an American and the club. And then Maura Wong came and I met couple of girls and I was like, Oh my God, who are those people? This is my kind of people. I love the mentality. The sense of humor, Americans were super easy to get along with. They like to have fun. They are generally very, very happy people. And that's how I, uh, got into, uh, dating, uh, GI. Um, he was stationed in Germany, in army and that's the guy then who introduced me to my husband. Wow. That is crazy. Who was, yes. Who was another GI? And um, I always somehow knew I'm going to lend in the United States because it was, um, as a time when, by me living in Germany, you know, a years into it, I looked around and most of uh, friends I had were Americans. You know, it was my fact, my absolutely best friend. Hello, Betty and Cleveland is from United States as well. She lives in Cleveland, Ohio. And I met her when, um, when her and her husband were stationed there. So. Wow. And what part of Germany I was living in Bomberg, which is close to Numberg
Speaker 3:And you can speak German. Yes. Russian. Yes. Polish English, little bit.
Speaker 1:That's amazing. Can you say sexy
Speaker 3:In German?
Speaker 4:[inaudible] But to surprise you sexy in all of them in paulus's sexy and in German is sexy. This is, you know, international war.
Speaker 1:I liked that
Speaker 3:You spent a brief period of time in Russia. You said, no, I went there.
Speaker 4:I used to sing when I was little and we went on this kind of student exchange. So I was in Ukraine for about four weeks singing for organization. I don't even know what to call it in English. They used to be calling Russian co-hosts and Sol hoes. And we used to go and sing for the farmers who work there. Or were they workers, you were like Marilyn and Rose singing to the,
Speaker 1:To the farmers.
Speaker 3:Happy birthday, Mr. President.
Speaker 1:Gosh,
Speaker 4:At the time it was Mr. Gorbachev. I believe that's the tear down that wall. Yes. Came shortly after. Yes.
Speaker 3:You know, a lot of history there. Yes.
Speaker 4:But I was gone by then. We didn't wait that long, which I think my parents a little bit of regret until today, not to wait those few years, we laughed in late eighties and I believe the wall came down in 1991 and that's one Poland star going through huge changes. The iron wall came down, but we were unfortunately already gone.
Speaker 3:And then you came to the United States?
Speaker 4:Yes. I came to United States. Oh, hi, love United States. I love, uh, again, I love Americans. Um, you come on a boat. No, I came on the plane and you know what? I'm back then. You were a, you were allowed to smoke on the plane. How about that? Oh, wow. Yes. Wow. Back of a plane. That's how long ago it was
Speaker 1:Trays? Yes.
Speaker 4:They were building into your, uh, armchairs under that little. Yes. So that was, I think one of the less flies where smoking was and then nine came to the States and, um, I loved it. I think Clinton was the president when I came here. So, um, but it was pretty happy times in America. We'll be back after our short message from our sponsor.

Speaker 4:COVID-19 masking. Oh yeah. How on the Hill do you know what they look like? Yeah. Wow. I don't know. I'll tell you what, um, being married for 21 years. I don't know, but I guess you get creative. So if I were to day, unless she'll say I met somebody online and then we decide to go for a coffee, let's just set on there. I bread. I don't know. I would have probably make him go outside and through the window, take the mask.
Speaker 1:[inaudible] after he puts it back on, he's allowed back at my table. He might look better with the mask on. You could only see the eyes. Hey honey, just leave that mask on. Okay. Oh God. Couple extra
Speaker 4:Glasses of wine and a mask is all you
Speaker 1:Need. Yeah. All we have to ask Panera to start serving wine. Well, you can't social distance
Speaker 4:Then Panera. I know. I know. Wow. This is challenging. I tell you. It is. It is. But on a serious note, I mean, come on six feet apart, right. Or the mask. That's the general rule. Saul stepped back six feet. And uh, let me see. And later on that night,
Speaker 1:Six feet,
Speaker 4:What do you do about the germs at that point? Well, what have you been doing about it in all those years prior to correct?
Speaker 1:I say, take Listerine with you and some hand sanitizer, swish. A lot. So you don't
Speaker 4:Use lubricant anymore. You use
Speaker 1:The sanitizer kids. Don't try this at home. Absolutely not. We certainly don't want anybody to be using Lysol. Oh no. Oh my God. Oh my God. Yeah. Wow. Dating online could be like a great option right now because you could at
Speaker 3:Least see their face before you meet them. I'm so over zoom I'm so over all of that, but
Speaker 4:Selling me that, that they was a year, you Grady that now you'll have an option to have a actually virtual day would ordering dinner and watch the girls virtually eat the dinner. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah. This is advertised. I heard it on the radio or podcast or something. I don't know. That seems lame, but I get, I get all of the requirements. I'm certainly supportive of keeping people healthy and safe. It just seems counter-intuitive to try to meet and get to know somebody and have any type of a physical relationship. Not saying that you showed on the first or second or third date, whatever your prerogative is, but it just seems so challenging to have to do things through like virtual meeting sessions. I don't enjoy virtual stuff at work. I mean, do you, when we have to have meetings at work, I mean, you're now the vice president of the records company. We, we of course put our feet right in the mud, right from day one, we were ready. We were prepared. We had been preaching to our customer base for years that we were ahead of all of our competitors, that our technology was second to none. And I don't, I didn't enjoy the zoom meetings because we didn't have any personal interaction.
Speaker 4:Yeah. And I'm, I'm a lot into feeling energy coming from monitors and their aura. And it is hard through zoom meeting. And as far as, you know, going back to dating and protecting yourself, I mean, I got a thing back. I had a friend who, uh, years and years back started dating and they actually were dating. I want to say maybe for two, three months clear of sex. And when they were ready to move forward, they actually bought off when and were tested for everything. Because at that point they didn't want to use any protection. So, I mean, um, here is the thing, you know, very well did. There is huge amount of, uh, people who are very concerned with, uh, Corona virus. And there is some who are not concerned much and they believed that everybody at some point is going to go through it. So,
Speaker 3:Um, it's just became a pretty divisive political issue, unfortunately. Yes. I don't know why we polarize certain things. I'm not going to say, I don't know. I'm not a scientist. I'm not a physician. I don't know the specific data behind any of this stuff. We just rely on those professionals to kind of give us the advice. And we're just kind of torn because we're hearing so many things from so many places all the time. I think that's great that you could go both, go and get tested for coronavirus and STDs and the whole shebang.
Speaker 1:And then you could bang.
Speaker 3:Right. But here's the question about that on a serious note, what happens if you had the symptoms and you were positive during your first date, but you were asymptomatic, didn't test positive and you tested positive the following week. These are some of the interesting things I've heard
Speaker 4:Bodies last, what? Two to three months. That's what I hear. Yeah. But you know, to be honest with you, you know, what's so different. If you were on a date feeling that way or being already sick or your shopping and spending in the line next to other people, I guess it's all about taking chances and arrest the person that you want to ride
Speaker 1:On the back of the motorcycle with the baby. Just do it. Yeah. We only live once or they say we live a lot. I don't know. But anyway, ride and die. I don't even know if that's real. Um, Hey, but make sure you love yourself before you love someone else. What do you think about that? I gotta, do you think that you should fall in love with you
Speaker 4:And prioritize yourself? Absolutely. I think people who love themselves. I, for example, I love myself. I love spending time with myself. I'm never bored. I have thousand and one things I could think of getting into when I'm by myself, I actually enjoy time by myself. But then again, being married for 21 years is easy. Easy said. Um, however, when you don't love yourself and don't have self-worth and feel like somebody, you need somebody else to complete you. That is opening door. I think too many problems and issues. I agree. I think that's a very good point. And then how do you keep your, you know, married life spicy
Speaker 1:After all these years? Wow. That was a resigned. Sorry. I know you love your house.
Speaker 4:It has been, I couldn't imagine being with anybody else, but I actually had that conversation just the other day with my 12 years old song, our song. And, um, when we were talking about one of his friendships and I said general, just second marriage. It's, it's a wave it's up and down and up and now. And I think the most important thing is to be able to communicate, to be honest with each other, to know when, to step back and take a break from each other, we can be 24 seven in each other face. It's tiredness. It's hard to be creative when, and then some people I'm sure can. That's not my case. Um, many times when we go through downs, uh, you know, little sprinkle of alcohol can fix anything.
Speaker 1:We'll get through it. How many years have you been married? Grady. I've been married 11 years. Wow. Like I feel so well, not
Speaker 3:Specifically 11. We've been together for 11. We've been married.
Speaker 1:Wow. That's incredible. It helps to have some wine.
Speaker 4:It does. And it doesn't hurt dad. Your husband, Antonio is super hard guy too.
Speaker 1:Hello.
Speaker 3:Wow. He's going to listen to this and really love you or whatever. You know,
