In later years, we bought a couch at a consignment store. We chose it because my husband could get up from it. I chose it because it went with the pattern on the chairs in the family room. We were both somewhat sensible. Be grateful you can argue with your spouse because mine has been gone for nearly 7 years.
That's an excellent observation; it appears the data collected terminated just outside the Gap. It is my belief that Don omitted data to fit his agenda. She likely did complete her main mission of getting the pair of pants as well as fulfilling the side quest of visiting every store, not to mention she did it more efficiently on a cost per unit time basis. I need Laura's untampered narrative to compare results lol.
As a fellow engineer, who has also been married for many years, you actually made EXACTLY the right call in those argument examples. You offered suggestions, and then ULTIMATELY respected her decision as final. Making a suggestion is actually GOOD, and HIGHLY PREFERRED, under the strong condition that you don't fight with her if she disagrees. One of the worst things you can do is fail to offer a suggestion and just say "whatever you want to do, honey". She wants to hear a suggestion from you, even if she immediately shoots it down. Making a suggestion shows that you are interested and paying attention. Respecting her decision as final shows that you respect her. As my grandpa (who was married for 62 years) used to say, "You can be RIGHT, or you can be HAPPY."
@@eng.miroslavmanahilov1944 Women tend to think this sort of thing is hilarious. Their tik tok feeds are full of women stepping all over men and they can't get enough of it. And they can't figure out why their relationships keep falling apart.
Don, your humor is GREAT. It's original, funny and as a newly wed....ACCURATE. We hope to see you in the Central Texas/Austin area some day. Keep up the good work, people need a break from life and need to laugh more. After all, laughter is the best medicine!
That was a good laugh! But the last thing about the wife visiting (nearly) every store just seems unrealistic. I mean, not visiting any store twice? No way.
if you follow her route you will find that either she at some point loops back and revisits at least 3/4 of them going in the opposite direction or she is still there. or the battery on the gps stopped working after 3h30m and so we are missing part of the data
@@wisteria3032 You can see that on the right side the line connects back to itself, meaning she could've walked in a loop any amount of times and then went back the same route.
This Gap routine is missing the best part 😂. Where his wife actually (correctly) points out her shopping is more efficient when adjusted for cost per minute 😏.
Thats just brilliant ,finding new subscribers with the old clips+ little bit of also old clips that didn't shown until now...I'm kidding you r my nerdy comedian.
Your grandpa was doing it wrong. To be honest, so am I, but I'm kinda committed to it at this point, 28 years in. Ain't nobody want either one of us at this stage. Dance with the one you brought and all that.
Shortly after marriage, my wife and I reached a compromise on chores: sometimes she cooks and I do the dishes, and sometimes I cook and I do the dishes.
@@devijankowicz9491 I was there, it's from 1994. I've met my wife there. After it ended I even met Don and asked for an autograph. Such an amazing night!
It was an equivalency table…. As much as she enjoys something to something you enjoy EQUALLY. Shopping to prostate exam. You enjoy them as much as she enjoys shopping.
About that argument thing: my wife and I decide that we should listen to her when we disagree with each other and listen to me when we agree on something. I just need to agree with her, then I will be completely in charge. Everything is under my control 🎉
I have no idea how women are able to look at a freakin' pillow in a store for 25 minutes and end up not buying it because it's not matching the decore. Arent you able to tell right away???
Wait a minute... Have you forgotten, that we've gone through all the options in our house and still in other stores to see if among the 12,331 options there's a winner? Considering the amount of options of combining it with what we already have, of what we could buy as well, and of what color we could paint the wall (and there the drapes come in...), I think 25 minutes is amazingly fast.
it's not the only thing to consider. can we talk about the quality of the pillow? I mean, I will probably not be buying it because of the decor but maybe I could look for a pillow with similar characteristics. Now, let's analize all of them, decide for which ones I will refuse to compromise and which are good but if I find one that looks better in my home then I can compromise on them. Also let's think about the cost/time benefit of actually buying this particular pillow and have new fabric applied instead. Of course I need to think about the probability of finding an altogether better one instead but this probability depends on how many other pillows I have already seen and analysed
When my kids were young, I quickly learned that answering "No" to one of their demands was pointless, because they would immediately ask my wife and the odds she would answer "of course, " were so big that I just resorted to "ask your mother". Less humiliating.
The Dyson handheld vacuum has really changed the vacuuming scene. Now I don't mind vacuuming anymore because it's very fun - versatile, small, reach many more places, watch all the captured dust at the end, and no more pulling long hair from the machine. Worth every penny, but! DO NOT give in to spouse's demands for the latest version. V8 Absolute is more than enough IMO - should be around $300 if you look around
Dyson is great if you're OK with it only lasting a few years before needing to replace it or make a major repair. I personally don't understand how anyone is OK with that. I prefer products that are built to last.
2:54 I actually agree with Laura’s way of doing it. Vacuuming is EXTREMELY tedious. The best way to do it, in terms of “keeping your sanity,” is to just zone out and go crazy with it. Paying methodical attention to the specific path of the vacuum like that, would drive me crazy. Also, there are sometimes things you need to vacuum twice.
At my home vacuuming is done in exactly opposite way. I’m like Don and my husband is like his wife what of course drives me crazy inside however I don’t say it loud but praising my husband for helping me. It’s better to have job done imperceptible then not all all 😂🤣
There are layers to that table ... I know the joke he told is that he hates shopping, but the rest of the list is finding the equivalent thing for something the wife likes for something he likes, so ... if we follow the if A then B reasoning, then Don likes prostate checks as much as his wife likes shopping.
I don't know... I've been shopping and I've had prostate checks and shopping has never made me smile. It all depends on who's doing the prostate check and the size of her fingers.
I've been married 50 years to m beautiful wife. I learnt very early on it was more prudent to lose an argument to her rather than prove beyond any doubt that she was 100% wrong.
Reminds me of some engineer professor regarding marriage. Savor the pain, it is constant and daily and it exquisite. Haha. Sounds like pages and pages of calculation that makes little sense or something. 15 years old now this vid haha. ua-cam.com/video/zN7tF8W1B2E/v-deo.htmlsi=Ci-xyJEJPnkjHjJZ
Excited for 512MB RAM upgrade, man this is an old show.
Oh man. 512MB was where it's at back in the amd socket A era. Nforce mobos baby!
and 2.4 GHz was most likely a Pentium 4 :-)

As a married woman, I am actually on Don's side of the chart, except for the beer (substitute bottle of white zinfandel).
I'd still prefer a wedding over the Super Bowl and I'd substitute cider for beer but otherwise agree.
Well honey it wasn't about you, it was about what he liked and got excited about so the beer stays.
How about the prostate check?

Married for 24yrs and this is exactly how my husband handles my questions.😂😂

Sounds toxic to me.

The best original clean comedy I have ever seen. ❤
So hard to find "clean" humor in nightclubs, let alone funny humor. This is both.

Yeah, I’ve seen this routine before in another clip, and I was waiting for that part. Too bad he didn’t include it. It’s pretty funny.

My grandfather told me "There are a lot of reasons to marry, happiness and a sex life aren't two of them."
Your grandpa was doing it wrong. To be honest, so am I, but I'm kinda committed to it at this point, 28 years in. Ain't nobody want either one of us at this stage. Dance with the one you brought and all that.
Your grandpa sounds like Eeyore. If you aren't happily married, you either married the wrong person or you are not marriage material, or both.
That sucks for your grandpa but if you marry right, you’ll have more happiness and sex than most of your friends
My grandfather told me, "Don't believe whatever scbane's grandfather say."
I once criticized how my wife did my laundry. I've been doing my own ever since!
That works both ways; for example, my wife does not criticize how I mow the lawn.
Laura must have read Mad magazine as a child. Seems she fell in love with Don Martin.
Love your videos, Don!!!
Show from 96 I presume. Man I miss those days. Great bit!
1:06 You heard it here. Don likes having a prostate check at least once a week. lmao
This is the best discovery on whole UA-cam for me! Really funny😂
God when it's your show, I can't stop laughing 😂😂😂😂
When we had carpets, I didn't mind vacuuming as it was the only chore that involved a power tool.

In our house, sometimes I cook and I do the dishes. Some days we don't eat.

That was bugging me too. It should have been something she doesn't enjoy. OR something you do enjoy.
