# Honesty in Relationships

Gallo kicks off this week's episode with a relatable dating dilemma - his female friend is confused about her situationship and afraid to ask "what are we?" Gallo understands her plight, admitting it's hard to decipher a guy's true intentions despite what he says.

He explains that guys often say one thing but mean another when reacting to what women say and do. Just as he's about to reveal a juicy example, Gallo stops himself to clarify he's not trying to make anyone sound bad

As we lean in, eager to hear more, Gallo switches gears and makes a sweeping generalization: "Generally, women say one thing, but..."

And that's where he leaves us hanging! What were women about to be accused of? Guess we'll have to wait for next week's episode to find out.

In this episode of the SUCIAS podcast, Gallo talks about his half-brother who passed away a year ago. He acknowledges that he hadn't thought about it much, which he admits is probably a bad thing to say, but considering the life they shared growing up, it's understandable why they weren't that close.

Gallo explains that his half-brother was 20 years older than him, so by the time their parents divorced, he was in his mid-20s. As a child, Gallo saw him a few dozen times before he turned 10, usually when he went to visit or spend the weekend with his father. However, the visits were brief, with his half-brother joining them for dinner and then leaving.

Gallo doesn't remember any meaningful conversations between his half-brother and father, only a sense of animosity. As a young child, he didn't fully comprehend the situation, but he noticed the tension.

In this episode, Gallo discusses the concept of male-female friendships and shares his personal experiences. He stands by his previous statement that generally, men and women cannot be true friends, with some exceptions and caveats.

As a former "intercourse addict", Gallo admits to having female friends, but clarifies that this is not an excuse for him to have such relationships. He acknowledges that most of his "female friends" are more accurately described as female acquaintances.

Gallo delves into the definition of a friend, suggesting that a true friend is someone you can visit unannounced and be welcomed. He implies that everyone else falls into the category of an acquaintance.

The episode also touches on Gallo's need to do some housekeeping, likely referring to tasks or responsibilities he needs to attend to.

what can I say, I'm terrible at writing descriptions. as usual, this might put you off my show, or open your eyes. either way I hope my honesty helps you in some way.

I mentioned being on this panel about relationships. it's about 18x longer than this episode. but a lot of good conversation if you have the time, and want more of your Gallo fix

if the link doesn't work, look for "A Panel Discussion on Relationships" on "Civil Rhetoric" podcast.

In this episode, Gallo recounts the story of the worst date he ever had, which took place on December 26, 2010. He met a woman online in late 2010 and they talked for months, but she was always too shy to meet up in person. Finally, he convinced her to go on a date after she got off work at a fast food restaurant in Houston.The date was very uncomfortable because the woman was extremely quiet and mumbled most of her responses, making it hard for Gallo to understand her. They went to Chili's where Gallo ordered for her since he couldn't hear what she wanted. Conversation was difficult the entire night.After dinner, Gallo walked the woman to her apartment door where she kissed him goodnight…
