When Gerry says the further away from Moscow, the more dangerous, that was the 90's in Russia. Russia changed since, so did the west. As far as i am aware and what is see is Russia changed for the better, and honestly North America changed for the worse since then. Yes, the 90's were rough in Russia and former Soviet republics. Great podcast.

LOL about Russia becoming better. Russia used to be great, but it no longer is. If you go outside of Moscow, it's pure poverty. Such a rich and cultured country has been destroyed by a terrorist president we all know. He has destroyed Russia and its people

I too have noticed there is massive benefit to having older parents. The children are much better adjusted in all ways. I had my children when I was young and not stable it was not helpful for gaining stability for myself or them!

28:23 I want to know what the point of this conversation topic is - are you implying that women choose to raise their kids alone? Single mothers raise their boys and best way they can with limited resources due to men walking out - of course having a committed and aware partner would be helpful and some of the gaps in the process of bringing up a child to be a decent adult are closed that way. Of course all kids - girls and boys - do better when both of their parents are around and are active in the rearing process… of course fathers are needed. Women should not have to bring up their kids with no partner, but it’s what happens a lot of the time. Gary talks out of his ass very often - it’s easy to see that because he spent the majority of his life being a single man that he has some very weird, misogynistic deep-set beliefs that he now pushes on his much younger and more impressionable wife. It’s easy to be the big man in the room when you surround yourself with people much younger and more vulnerable than you.

Why do you assume just because she’s younger she’s more impressionable and the views she has are not her own? Maybe she believes it’s important for a boy to have a strong male figure in his life, ideally a father. Which makes perfect sense. I agree that a man can best teach his son how to be a man. That’s not a controversial opinion. It’s common sense.

@@Joelina456 can a man teach a girl to be a woman? There are things about women and womanhood that men will never understand. Thus, there are things and experiences men face that women will never understand. Common sense.

I don’t have girlfriends who are moms that are overprotect, they actually all let their kids get up themselves when they fall and don’t make big fuss, that’s just one of the example. This interview feels outdated. A woman and a man don’t mean soft and strong, yin and Yang, that’s old time textbook definition. If I were to listen to this 10 yrs ago I would’ve been nodding my head tho.

@@sgzjajsjsi133 she might not have been back then when they met (who is at 20?), but I think it’s really a stretch to say she’s not a developed character now. Personally, I see a strong, mature, successful, independent woman. Gary’s a tad too traditional for my taste, but again, he’s not *my* husband, so it’s not for me to judge or care. But I do appreciate your perspective, thanks for sharing 🙏🏽

Both my parents had me in their 30's, and that was considered very late for their era. But I can vouch for late parenthood and how "adult" I perceived them. I looked up to my Mom so much because she was always so put-together and calm; I can't remember a single instance where she yelled. While many of my friends' parents were a lot more ... lax and came off kinda undignified / gossipy.
