Hey everybody, welcome back to Saki Tumi, the podcast that connects people to people. I'm here with Keebler.

Speaker 2 0:23

Hey everybody, how's it going?

Speaker 1 0:24

Not bad.

Speaker 2 0:25

Not bad, that's good. I'm here with the Prophet, that's right. He's bringing us all together again, as usual.

Speaker 1 0:32

No, shedetto. Today we're going to be diving into life as a single dad after a divorce.

Speaker 2 0:38

We got stories.

Speaker 1 0:39

No, we got stories for days. Mine are still happening. Yeah, At least you're out of yours, mine are over, well, so far they're over.

Speaker 2 0:44

Well, yeah, they're over. You know, I got remarried and got a lovely wife. You guys probably heard her, Mrs Keebler. Mrs Keebler, Hi.

Speaker 1 0:52

Mrs Keebler.

Speaker 2 0:52

Hi honey.

Speaker 1 0:55

So today we're going to just talk about how it went for you and me, and then I want to try and engage the audience into saying, oh yeah, that happened to me too, or something like this happened, something like that happened. So start with you, go ahead.

Speaker 2 1:08

All right. Well, I got divorced probably about well, not probably about 22 years ago roughly, and my kids were young, Probably the same age as your son, when you first got divorced.

Speaker 1 1:21

The creature yeah, that's what we call him here. Oh really, yeah, son, when you first got divorced.

Speaker 2 1:25

the creature, yeah that's what we call him here. Oh really, yeah, it's not the creator, it's the creature. The creature, that guy. Well, anyway, uh, I remember there's some trials and tribulations and a lot of it was a big learning curve. Number one I never did the laundry and that was an eye-opener. And I had to learn you how to put stuff in different categories. You know whites stay with the whites and you can't put, like the well sorry daughter, one of your cotton sweaters in the dryer.

Speaker 1 1:55

Dad, I can't breathe.

Speaker 2 1:57

Well, it became one of her. The doll's toys, they're clothing. You know what I mean. But one good story I had was we're making dinner one night and I really didn't have much going on. So I said I go, honey, go pull something out of the pantry. She comes out with a box of mac and cheese. I'm like, oh cool, all right, this should be easy enough. So it gets on the stove. You know, I go over there and stir it blah, blah, blah. And I go back over, put it in a bowl and I said time to eat. Casey, time to eat Happens to be her name as well as our co-host.

Speaker 2 2:32

And I says she gets down, sits at the table and she looks at it. She goes Dad, what's wrong with this? I go, there's nothing wrong with it. She goes, why is it dark brown? She goes, isn't it supposed to be orange? I'm like, yeah, I guess you're right. So I go over to the box. It was eight years expired. Oh my god, I go, holy crap, I'm so sorry. So, number one, I said let's get in the car we're going to, we're going to mcdonald's. I come back, I go to the pantry, I start doing a little inventory. Next thing, you know it, following day I go to the pantry, I start doing a little inventory. Next thing, you know, the following day I go to the supermarket, I got a $400 bill because half the stuff in my pantry was expired. Oh my good God. True story that's disgusting it was a putrid brown.

Speaker 2 3:22

You know how it's supposed to be to like the light orange and creamy, not even close, I got to pull myself together.

Speaker 1 3:32

Did you know maggots or anything?

Speaker 2 3:33

No, no, no, no, no. Oh, thank God, that's one story.

Speaker 1 3:36

Oh, both of our stories are going to unfold as we go along, because it's the topics and the theme of the show.

Speaker 2 3:44

Yeah.

Speaker 1 3:46

Mine is. I unfold as we go along because it's the the topics and the theme of the show. But yeah, uh, mine is. I'm back to where I was, it's no different and I don't know. I think I can explain why later. But okay, I was married right to a person that had a child and I had a child, yeah, and it was really. We just took care of our kids and yet taxes and insurance were there. Right, that that was it. Anyway, it's an emotional roller coaster.

Speaker 2 4:08

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 4:09

To get divorced Absolutely, and yours is probably easier than mine, and I'm saying that only because of what I'll tell you in a minute but how did you deal with it?

Speaker 2 4:20

Well, mine was actually a lot easier and I'm going to tell you why. Because, fortunately, I had a I'm not going to say a great ex-wife, but a good ex-wife who understood what being divorced meant and we had four days on, three days off, we had joint custody and she refused child support. Good for her, yeah, forever, because she knew child support. Good for her, yeah, forever, because she knew deep down and I think she had a little push from my ex-mother-in-law. Shout out to Mrs Z and hope you're doing well. She's recovering from a bout of cancer, so prayers to her. But anyway, yeah, I had it.

Speaker 2 5:00

I'm not going to say easy, but easier than most, because I got to stay in my house and didn't have to move in with relatives, because being by yourself on a single income is rough and I'm sure you know that. Oh yeah. So I mean, I know you have your own business, which probably helps, but I was a blue-collar guy and you know 40 hours a week and that only goes so far, exactly with the bills. But yeah, so I made out that way very well, good, and I did my share, she did her share and we made it work for the kids that's the most important thing right, and very few people can do that right.

Speaker 1 5:38

So kudos to her. Yep, that's great, because mostly I shouldn't say most women, because it's I don't even know the we of it. We don't know the percentage Right Exactly, but it does seem like, at least perceptually, that women are more like that than men. Right, and men are like always the ones that are getting kicked. Yeah, yeah, but nobody gives any credit to women like that.

Speaker 2 5:56

Right, you're exactly right. That don't do it, yep, and really in a divorce it's all about the children, not you, not your ex-wife, it's the kids. So, yeah, we tried to keep it be compatible and just get along for the kids, and it worked mine was a little different only because I didn't have that adjustment period.

Speaker 1 6:16

I went from the divorce to fucking court yeah that's a tough one. That was a tough one. So now I'm in all these programs and stuff because of the court and all that stuff.

Speaker 2 6:28

Yeah, that'll be a different episode. Let me ask you a question Did you have to do a parenting program when you first got divorced? Is that still like a Connecticut thing?

Speaker 1 6:36

No, because each one was ours.

Speaker 2 6:38

Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 6:38

We didn't have any together, gotcha, gotcha. So no, that wasn't necessary, but I'm still in programs. I'm not even sure why, right, besides that different episode. Yeah, now I forgot where I was going with this. We got divorced. What was I saying?

Speaker 2 6:52

You were taking care of your own kids.

Speaker 1 6:54

Yes, I forgot what I was going to. I'll remember it, but nothing has really changed. Oh, I never got to grieve for the divorce.

Speaker 2 7:03

Right, right, because I went right into court.

Speaker 1 7:04

You just went right into court, yeah, and I had to deal with that Right, and so everything just got bamboozled for two years.

Speaker 2 7:10

Everything was accelerated, boom, boom, boom.

Speaker 1 7:12

Yeah, and like a true prophet and champion, I nailed it Absolutely. Because I knew it was going to happen in the end because I have a crystal ball and I could see the positives in life hey, call the operator, you're dialed in but like where most people get divorced.

Speaker 2 7:29

They have that time afterwards to be sad and all that stuff well, yeah, yeah, you're a little sad, you, you get time by yourself.

Speaker 1 7:36

Add felony charges on top of that oh boy and as you sit in the shower, you begin to understand why people can get to the brink of suicide yeah that's how bad it got, at least for me. But and that wasn't even the divorce right. The divorce was like three months were done.

Speaker 2 7:53

Yeah, yep, bing bang boom and if you ever have, you know, feelings like that reach out to a friend or a family member that's what I want to say.

Speaker 1 8:01

Yeah, that's where casey and t-bot came in, so huge, and how all this began. Anyway, they've been there for me from day one, right, and I cannot say enough about how much I appreciate them. Two awesome friends, yes, and I will never be able to repay them for what they've done emotionally and well, not physically, because that sounds weird, but mentally, yeah, and all that stuff. They're here. They checked on me, they made sure I had stuff, they told me what to do, and all that stuff they're here.

Speaker 2 8:24

They checked on me, they made sure I had stuff.

Speaker 1 8:25

They told me what to do and that that was awesome and I want everyone to know that, because I want everybody to know how good those two people are.

Speaker 2 8:31

Any kind of feelings like that reach out.

Speaker 1 8:33

Yeah, Well, it's you know to somebody but that's the thing. Yeah, dudes, don't do that.

Speaker 2 8:37

No, it's a lot. I think it's a lot harder for guys.

Speaker 1 8:40

We don't talk about crying in the shower.

Speaker 2 8:42

No no.

Speaker 1 8:43

We don't talk about how what the hell did I do wrong? Yeah, or where could I have done something different, different, right, right, and why is it like this? Nope, but to be honest, at the end of everything, I'm better off. Now I am better off, You're looking good guy. Let me tell you, things are better. You did a bounce back and I love it yeah, well, thank you very much, because it was really tough for a lot of you.

Speaker 2 9:05

It shows a lot of your character. You know you're strong-willed.

Speaker 1 9:07

You know you got oomph it was that one day, in the bath, in the shower, like I was saying, I was sitting there, I was like daddo, stop being a little bitch. Yep, get yourself up, dust yourself off, clean yourself up, go kill it.

Speaker 2 9:20

You know you can get back out there, bro, and we are Podcasting like mofos.

Single Dad's Journey to Rediscovery

Speaker 1 9:25

That's what I'm saying. Love it, but yeah, and I want to start talking about stuff on this show that people sometimes don't say. I will say anything about me for two reasons One, it's real and two, you'll never be able to use it against me now.

Speaker 2 9:40

Exactly.

Speaker 1 9:40

Because I said it out loud first.

Speaker 2 9:42

Yeah.

Speaker 1 9:47

So yeah, exactly because I said it out loud first yeah, so yeah, the psyche goes downhill quickly in a time like that. And divorce is bad oh it is, and then anything else on top of that. Then you get into court with child support and all that stuff, and and one of the parties and I don't want to say women or men, but one of the parties is just angry and bitter and wants to fight everything exactly what are you doing? You're not solving any problem?

Speaker 2 10:05

No, you're creating more.

Speaker 1 10:06

Yeah, you're an idiot. Yeah, Cut the shit. Yep, it's like, just figure out what's best for the kids and get the hell out of there Exactly. Otherwise, the court is just going to take your money and that's all they want. That's all it is, yep. So it's. I did, and I knew it the entire time, and I would stop every once in a while and say listen, I don't always say the right things.

Speaker 1 10:30

I don't always do the right things Right. But I want you to know I appreciate you and I love you. Yep, I was like you do a lot around here and without you this house won't run Right. And it didn't do any good. It didn't get any farther than I got, yeah. So now you look at it and you're like what the fuck did I say that shit for? Why did I give her all that credit? She was just going to do this anyway.

Speaker 2 10:48

Well, it shows your character, though you know. I know and I also said that's the type of guy you are.

Speaker 1 10:53

Well, I'm a prophet.

Speaker 2 10:56

I always try to be nice and positive.

Speaker 1 11:02

I also said there's one thing I say to everybody, but I said it to my wife. I was like, if anything goes on besides me, if a guy ever stops slapping you on the butt- leave him immediately yeah, because if he's into you he'll just come and pat you on the butt right, tell you he loves you.

Speaker 1 11:13

If he pats you on the butt without saying anything, that pat on the buzz, I love you because it's. It's one of those. I know it sounds perverse, but technically it's one of those sweet little things that you let you don't realize and you let it go over your head oh, yeah, yeah, but it's one of those little intimate things between you and your significant other. Another just pat around the butt and be like well, that's what are we?

Speaker 2 11:33

doing today well, here, here's my thing with mrs keevler. This is one of the things, and I probably wouldn't say this, but, like you said, we're going to come out and tell you every time I shave. I oh, here comes one no, every time I shave I walk up to her, I go cheek from side to mouth give her a kiss, side to the other mouth, give her a kiss and say, smooth, I told you it was coming.

Speaker 1 11:59

I told you it was coming.

Speaker 2 12:00

You want one, I got one for you.

Speaker 1 12:02

No, I want you to roll into the show like you did last time. I want you to get better at that because it'll make the show even better. But no, that's a true story. I do say that.

Speaker 2 12:10

Rub my cheek on one side, give her a kiss, rub it on the other side, give her a kiss and then say smooth God A little bam done.

Speaker 1 12:22

I have little idiosyncrasies in myself that I do Like peanut butter and butter itself. Yeah, it's got to be flat in the container at all times, boy, and I can't stand when somebody just jams a spoon into it. I will spend the next three hours just trying to flatten it all out again.

Speaker 2 12:39

Next episode, I'm bringing my peanut butter over.

Speaker 1 12:40

I tell my ex-wife all the time you're going to miss this when it's gone. Maybe she does, maybe she doesn't, I don't know, but it's those little idiosyncrasies that you start to miss.

Speaker 2 12:50

I'll give you another story about something. A dad, daughter if that's a situation you have out there Started doing laundry on my own. I got good at it, it's real hard.

Speaker 2 13:00

Yeah, I know. Well, I think I got good at it, baby steps. Anyway, I started noticing my daughter's putting her clothes away, that her underwear was not around. I'm like what's going on? And I go, this was a hard one. And I go I don't know if I'm going to reach out to some of you guys here, but she was at the age where she got her friend. It was that time of the month and she didn't understand and she didn't know how to bring it up to me, so she was hiding it between her mattress and her box spring. So finally, one day I started looking around the roundup room and I saw it sticking out from the mattress. And I'm not trying to I mean, if she's ever listened to this, I'm not trying to embarrass her, but it's just a story that that guys need to relate to, because some of these single dads with daughters Absolutely just a story that the guys need to relate to, because some of these single dads with daughters absolutely and uh.

Speaker 2 13:50

So I actually had my mother talk with her and, thank god for my parents, they did a lot for me. When you know, I got divorced and we hashed it out and we talked about it and then it was resolved but I had no idea what's going on. I'm like man, she bringing all her underwear over to you know my exes to her moms made the call. You know she said all her underwear over to you know my exes to her mom's made the call. You know she said no, no, she's got her. You know four or five pairs here or whatever. And it was like kind of a learning experience. But I didn't know, you know, and she didn't know how to tell you and she didn't know how to tell me. But yeah, that was kind of an eye opener.

Speaker 1 14:22

Yeah, you know, I don't have that problem because I have a son, right, but I'm assuming I'm going to find a stiff sock at some point.

Speaker 2 14:31

Oh God, yeah, that's probably coming in a couple of years.

Speaker 1 14:34

Yeah, I don't want to know about it. Yeah, he's going to clean his own room and a stash of magazines. Quickly though, because we're actually we're long now. So when did you realize that you rediscovered yourself?

Speaker 2 14:51

after the divorce and who you were and parenting as a single dad. It took me a few years, but you know, what actually got me going was online dating. I started doing some online dating and I was a little skeptic about it at first, but I met a lot of nice people and that's eventually where I met Mrs Keebler.

Speaker 1 15:07

No, kidding yeah.

Speaker 2 15:08

I would have said the opposite, matchcom, and we actually grew up together. We were in the same class in high school.

Speaker 1 15:15

I want to pretend like I don't know the story, but I do.

Finding Balance as a Single Parent

Speaker 2 15:17

Yeah, you kind of do. But yeah, I did meet a lot of nice people and once I started, after getting know my income, it felt good, you know, because I got a little help from my like I was saying my parents did a lot for me and they actually took over my car payment for a while. Wow, yeah, that's how bad it was getting. I mean, I kind of wanted to still kind of live the lifestyle I was at from when I was married.

Speaker 1 15:42

That's the biggest hurdle to get over.

Speaker 2 15:44

It is, let me tell you. Um, and then things started coming together. I worked, got got to do a little overtime, adjusted on what I was spending, you know, and took my car payment back over and blah, blah, blah, here we are I'm sitting with the big guy hey, yo because I got you here.

Speaker 1 16:02

Yeah, you did. I knew you were gonna do it yeah, that's basically you know, being divorced.

Speaker 1 16:07

I mean, there was a lot of learning the one thing in any event like this is to just focus on doing what you gotta do. Yeah, and they people say that it's like shut up, you're stupid, you don't know what it's like, and they don't. But honestly, what I found is it? This shit never goes away. I'm not like you mentioned martha's vineyard, I immediately think of being married. Yeah, you know, I mean so. It never, it's never going to go away. You learn how to deal with it, but what you need to do is just say that she's done oh, it's yeah time to move on tell you the truth I erased.

Speaker 2 16:38

I really don't have many memories about being married.

Speaker 1 16:41

To tell you the truth, all right at this point, I call them nightmares I kind of feel my kids were my.

Speaker 2 16:47

You know memories and stuff. But I found a fantastic woman and I know you know Mrs Keebler well- and love her to death. She's okay.

Speaker 1 16:57

I'll let her tell you that.

Speaker 2 16:59

But yeah, we get along very well and we compliment each other. And there it is. You guys look happy you are happy, we do well and you do very well, we're good.

Speaker 1 17:08

It's like you're not one of the couples that would want to go over to your house and sit there for dinner. You are one of the couples, you're not one of the couples. I wouldn't want to do that to. Right Is the way it was supposed to sound. Yep, you guys invited me over for dinner. You're one righteous dude, are they?

Speaker 2 17:23

going to fight again.

Speaker 1 17:26

Are they like Ditto and? Anybody he's with at the time. I'm like Taylor Swift now.

Speaker 2 17:30

Oh boy.

Speaker 1 17:32

I'm just kidding. That being said, well, you already gave us some of your fails. What are some of your wins that you did?

Speaker 2 17:40

Some of my wins. Yeah Well, I focused more on doing coaching for my kids. I got involved in their sports which really helped a lot. So it kind of brought us more connected. You know what I mean. So like for my daughter softball, for my son baseball. Him and I used to go to. He learned golf. I took when he was young, took him for golf lessons. So yeah, I mean it was stuff was good.

Speaker 1 18:04

So like unexpected bonding moments. Yeah, yeah, that's cool. Stuff was good. So like unexpected bonding moments yeah, yeah, that's cool. I uh, I like I said I went through a lot through the court and all that stuff, and my son was in a bad way for a while, a little while, and it's gonna have some everlasting effects on him, right, and I gotta figure out how to help him to get over that.

Speaker 2 18:20

Does he see anybody or not?

Speaker 1 18:22

yet I might be asking, but no, no he doesn't, and I often wonder if I should. But right, I don't. And I have a different view on therapy, because I'm a talker and so is he, and you know it, oh yeah he's exactly like me.

Speaker 1 18:35

Yeah and like uh. One of my biggest wins was this past christmas. Okay, because I had everything back together. Right, I was out of court, I was out, everything was done, spending more time with him, being less absorbed in everything else, in everything else right, you got to focus more on him. Right and he got what he wanted. That is what my Christmas present was A smile on his face, awesome, that was awesome. One of my biggest fails was getting married in the first place.

Speaker 2 19:01

Don't go to Pearl Jam Con, no, no.

Speaker 1 19:04

That's how he got here.

Speaker 2 19:05

That's how he got here.

Speaker 1 19:06

We'll get into that later, because I mean we're running low on time. We're really chatting this up. This is nice. One of my most unexpected bonding moments is I helped him. He wanted to change his room around. He wanted to rearrange his room. I said all right, what we're going to do is we're going to go for it. Okay, I ended up. What Kid's got a hundred inch screen on his ceiling.

Speaker 2 19:26

Does he really?

Speaker 1 19:26

Yeah, he's got his computer set up up there. He's happier than a pig in slop. And now I go up there to watch movies with him, no kidding.

Speaker 2 19:34

And we sit there.

Speaker 1 19:35

He wants to be with me, as long as it's in his room, right, I'm like alright, buddy, that's fine. I'll sit in your room as long as I can hang out with amazing.

Speaker 2 19:47

Oh Christ, and I haven't played video games, or I'm not a gamer anymore, you know.

Speaker 1 19:54

And the biggest thing with parenting is nobody knows shit, no. So take your parenting advice and shove it up your butthole.

Speaker 2 20:00

Yeah, you got to learn on the fly.

Speaker 1 20:02

That shit blows my shit up.

Speaker 2 20:03

Yeah, you can't really read a book about it and apply it.

Speaker 1 20:08

I mean, you just got to go. My kid has watched every movie ever since the day he was born and most people look at me yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 20:12

So there's no rated. He gets R-rated movies.

Speaker 1 20:15

He gets everything, everything Horror movies, whatever.

Speaker 2 20:17

That's a good way. It's kind of a good way to learn, yeah, but people judge it as long as he doesn to tell one of his peers or teachers or whatever to go F off.

Speaker 1 20:27

There's no Santa Claus.

Speaker 2 20:29

Oh boy.

Speaker 1 20:30

And he has the ability now to speak like I do, Candidly, frankly and right to your face and insult you, and that's where the oh, I know that I felt the wrath last week.

Speaker 2 20:41

Harvard's not waiting for you.

Speaker 1 20:43

Stupid ass.

Speaker 2 20:47

There's hope for him.

Speaker 1 20:48

Yeah, there is. Now I'm going to cut out one segment here because A I thought it was a little goofy.

Speaker 2 20:54

Yeah.

Speaker 1 20:54

Actually I'll go into it a little bit. Any funny story for a dad hack that you had to do, that you remember, that sticks out in your mind.

Speaker 2 21:04

Let me think you caught me off guard on that one. Not really, I had one, you got one. Yeah, let me hear yours and let me think about this.

Speaker 1 21:13

One time I cut shin guards out of an old pizza box.

Speaker 2 21:15

Oh, boy, so he could go play soccer.

Speaker 1 21:17

Soccer. Yeah, because they wouldn't be able to tell it would still be the shape?

Speaker 2 21:20

Oh yeah, yeah, because they're in the socks, that's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 21:22

You couldn't play without them, so I cut shin guards out of a pizza box and sent them to soccer.

Speaker 2 21:29

No, I don, but that's a good one Love it so in the end.

Speaker 1 21:36

here we are 23 minutes we made it.

Speaker 2 21:39

We did. Okay, look at that. I could go on forever with you.

Speaker 1 21:43

I could go on forever, baby. But trying to balance work and parenting and having a social life, like you touched on at Matchcom, is crazy and to be honest myself at least I'm not doing the social life until he's grown, because I already did it once and it didn't work and I'm not doing that to him again.

Speaker 2 22:02

Right, I'll go at it later on in life it took me five years before I I went out on a date that's about what it's gonna take.

Speaker 1 22:08

He'll be nine, basically 19, by then.

Speaker 2 22:10

Yeah it was roughly five years and it took me. Uh, well, I'm gonna tell you exactly it was 11, five years and it took me. Well, I'm going to tell you exactly, it was 11 years before I got remarried, after I got divorced, I don't know. It was like there's a time you need to be, and I'll tell you. One story is my ex-wife got married 13 months after I got divorced.
