Quick Connection Exercise for Couples Participant #1: You're listening to the Sex with Dr. Jess podcast. Sex and relationship advice you can use tonight. Welcome to the Sex with Dr. Jess podcast. I'm your cohost, Brandon Ware, here with my always lovely other half, Dr. Jess. I'm just here celebrating, man. I'm celebrating you. It's your birthday. What was yesterday? Kind of a big deal. Yeah, such a big deal that I was out of town for work and just flew in this morning. That's all good. You come pick me up? Not made you, but you came 06:00 a.m.. I've been up since, I guess, the equivalent of 02:00 A.m. Here, and we're feeling good. I'm actually feeling fine. I've got the adrenaline rush because I just have started another speaking tour. I'm finally feeling like I'm getting back to work. Pretty excited. We are going to do a quickie podcast on that note, because I have another flight to catch. Yeah. Which is greater flight off to an exciting place for other work prospects. So. And Brandon's joining me. Looking forward to it in Barcelona. Barcelona? You have a friend in Spain. Brandon has the equivalent of I guess it's the modern day pen pal. Yes, I have a penpal. I do. But explain what you do, because I think it's really cool. I went on to a website where you can communicate with other people who are trying to learn your language. So I've been trying to learn Spanish for years. And I'm off and on and off and on. And I think speaking the language is a great way to learn it. So I went on and posted a message and Jose, who lives in Spain, replied, and we're now great friends. And the communication is slow and steady. So you meet with him 30 minutes. Is that what it is? 30, 45 minutes? And we chat and you spend half of the time speaking English and helping him with his English. And then he spends half the time I spend half the time screwing up his English Participant #1: participle. Yeah. I was like, I don't know. That's just not right. But you know how to say it. You just don't know the names of the parts of speech because you're cooler than me. Exactly. All right.
