Transcript excerpt

I make my wife breakfast in bed every day because my daughters are watching, and I don't want them marrying dirt bad. They need to see how a woman should be treated, which apparently is entirely my responsibility. One wrong move and they're falling for the guy who looks like he owns a motorcycle, but doesn't. So I'm really trying to set the bar high, but my biggest fear here is what if I set the bar too high to the point that their expectations are so high no one else can reach tier. And see, that feels like the better problem to have. In twenty years when they're talking to their therapist about about how I messed tier up, what are they gonna say? My dad was too good to my mom, and because of that, now I can't find a date? Yeah. I don't think so. Plus, if that's the biggest daddy issue, I think we're winning here. A quick note to the guys. Bringing your wife breakfast has endless benefits. She's gonna take every opportunity to tell her friends. And sure, those friends might go home and say, why don't you ever make me breakfast? Which sucks for those guys, but that's not your problem. Soon, everyone will know you're amazing. Cook for your girl and follow for more life advice.
