He suggests that using repetitive, insulting nicknames or "running jokes" in a marriage is toxic and hinders productive communication.

“I hate these jokes with each other. Like if you're going to joke with each other, call you know, say say something nice. I hate this. This insulting running jokes, it does you no favors at all.”

He admits that he has historically avoided financial discussions by tuning out his wife's concerns.

“I as you said, I've tuned her out or blocked her out and just not listening, but she's actually been saying it now that you over three to four months.”
