Further discussion reveals that Hilary needs a brother and ETM needs a sister, and they have fulfilled those roles for each other. But do they ever get around to discussing the REAL football (American Football)? Find out.

This Is The Day | ETM-Hilary Kemp 43

This Is The Day | ETM-Hilary Kemp 43: Hilary introduces Edward T to a book called "Getting to Yes". Par to usual, he says no instead. Why this time?

This Is The Day

Hilary introduces Edward T to a book called "Getting To Yes", about negotiating with others and coming to compromise. ETM seems to think it's about getting others to bend to his will. Of course, he is wrong.

Hilary gives an example of using this strategy in relationships, and suggests this is the day his life may change if he uses this. She then asks ETM about negotiations in his marriage. ETM tells Hilary there was no such thing as negotiating in his marriage, which is why he was driven to the sauce.

The resultant flood of bad memories puts ETM in such a foul mood that he winds up telling Hilary that many people, in his opinion, are not worth his time and he just wishes these same individuals would go away and leave him alone.

This of course (like any sane person), surprises Hilary, and they get into a disagreement...

Believe It Or Not | ETM-Hilary Kemp Show 42

Believe It Or Not | ETM-Hilary Kemp Show 42: What you believe is based on the evidence you gather in your life, right? Maybe not. ETM and Hilary explore how this could be.

Time: 58:36

Believe It Or Not

There are some things you believe and somethings you don't. Somethings are absolutely true, and some are absolutely false, right? Maybe.

According to an article from the Boston Globe newspaper, our beliefs are not based in fact, but rather we pick the facts we want to keep in order support our beliefs. We do this to keep the "Cognitive Dissonance" to a minimum. The cog what?

Edward T and Hilary explore this concept through their own personal experiences. Could this be the fact, jack? Find out!

Put A Ring On It | ETM-Hilary Kemp Show 41

Put A Ring On It | ETM-HK 41: According to something Hilary read somewhere at some point, 75% of couples going to marriage counseling get divorced. Fact or fiction? ETM shares his marriage counseling experience and they disagree about marriage in general. Surprised?

Time: 56:43

Put A Ring On It

Hilary says that she read something, somewhere, at some point, that 75% of the couples going to marriage counseling actually wind up getting divorced. But is this fact or fiction? She and Edward T discuss this statistic and the methodology involved in the study and how the study eventually arrived at this conclusion.

ETM talks about his fury with scientific studies and with studies getting misinterpreted, both by scientists and the media, and Hilary shares her frustration with having her scientific work interpreted (or misinterpreted) by the media.

Edward T then shares his experience with marriage counseling and divorce. As a result, he and Hilary both find out that (once again), they are on opposite sides of the fence. One of 'em believes in marriage for life; one doesn't. Care to place any odds on who is whom?

Serendipity | ETM-Hilary Kemp Show 40

Hilary's back from vacation and the kids discuss how serendipity is a big part of any vacation. Also: another colossal dating failure story from ETM.

Serendipity

Hilary's back from vacation in New York City and has some tales to tell, especially about drinking and dancing (that's unusual), not to mention fried chicken! While listening to her adventures in NYC, Edward T observes that serendipity has a lot to do with a great vacation.

Hilary also visited with an old boyfriend, which leads Edward T to ask the how and why of the end of that relationship. Her answer leads ETM to veer off and discuss another relationship he gave a shot at, which no doubt should have wound up on FailBlog.

Moving In Stereo (Types)

Edward T goes on another one of his "hippies in Seattle" rants and Hilary says he is boxing people in and creating stereotypes. She says he has a narrow interpretation of people and he gives no credit to people being individuals.

ETM says it's about Sociology, about people behaving certain ways in groups, and he doesn't need to get to know people on an individual basis. He believes he can predict how people are going to behave without even meeting them, simply based on where they come from and how the currently live their lives.

Hilary says this is stereotyping people and that he could be missing a lot of things that could make his life better. ETM counters that he already knows what he likes and what he doesn't and there are some people he just doesn't want to know, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Hilary then brings up his dating life and and a statement he made about who he wants to date and who he doesn't. Then the battle really begins.

Take the children off the streets - this one's a donnybrook for sure!

The Mayors of Seattle

You've heard of them, now you get to meet them: Tim Malloy, the "Mayor of Queen Anne", Jeff Mullen, the "Mayor of Magnolia" and ETM, the "Mayor of Madison Valley".

Taking their show from the "City Hall" (Queen Anne Caffe Ladro) and bringing it into the studio, the self-appointed 'Mayors of Seattle' get together to demonstrate just what a Mayor's Meeting sounds like.

Before they get started, Jeff goes on a Sue Bird riff that is unparalleled. They rip on Snoop Dogg and then they play the Birthday Game, This Date in History and Isaac Asimov's "Super Quiz". The talk, as always, skews towards women and dating.

Edward T reveals that he's come up with a web site that will make him a billionaire, but perhaps not well-respected by many women, and Tim & ETM press Jeff on his love life.

Risky Business

Edward T and Hilary finally just give up talking about 'Avatard' and start talking about taking risks in life - not the gambling/lottery ticket type of risk, but the change-your-life, going-to-a-different-career type of risk.

Turns out (not shockingly) that Hilary is a little risk averse and Edward T simply flies by the seat of his pants, trusting all will turn out just fine. A rather strange contradiction considering ETM is usually Mr. Grumpy. How does this all pan out?

Plus: Edward T's road trip to Montana for his brother's wedding, part of the Family Album.
