Chapter 2: What personal challenges has Andrew Schulz faced?
I got this from Sean Hannity who tips 100%. He does? Yes. Oh, wow. I'm like, that's too much for me.
No, no, that's guilt. Something's going on. Something's going on. He's a really generous guy. He's harassing waitresses. Something's happening where he's paying them off. 100% is guilt. There's something wrong. But I got to be honest with you. This is he's taken. No, I mean, Sean is a great guy. You're not doing this. You're not at all. Where's my camera? You're not at all doing this.
But I would tip 100 percent, too, if I was taking my girlfriend to the fucking thing. And I don't want anybody to know about it. But Sean would never do that. And that's not the case. Not it. Listen, he does not.
He does not need to stray. He's with Ainsley. He's good. Well, listen, I was going to say I would have I would kind of expect that when I go back to these same restaurants and have the same waiter, like maybe I'd get a little bit more white glove treatment. Yeah. I notice absolutely no white glove treatment. I don't think it really counts.
So I just have to feel good about it in my heart, which I do.
Yeah, which is not the reason why we do it.
Well, I mean, it would be nice if somebody was like, thanks. Thanks for it.
Isn't it the worst when you're like at the bar and you're like, I'm going to fucking tip this bartender big. And you go to put the money down and they walk away. And now you got to just stand there until they come back and notice the tip. I need your recognition that I left that. Like, this needs to be very clear.
Yeah. My 13-year-old daughter just asked this question at the dinner table last night. This is where it's going for you. She said, is any act of charity ever for the other person or is it all selfish? Isn't it all selfish?

Chapter 3: What are modern dating red flags according to Andrew Schulz?
I hope I can't hear what I'm laughing at. There's some adult content in there for sure, but it's all in... But here you... It's a personal story.
This whole thing is about your journey with Emma and trying to conceive a baby. Yeah. And I mean, no detail is spared.
Yeah.
But so it's very personal. It was unusually personal for you. Yeah, yeah. Did you run it by her first?
So the thing was is... Yeah, at first like, you know... this is the most like male thing. Like, but it's, I assume that the reason why we couldn't is because it was her fault. Right. And I talk about it in the special where I'm like, she was really concerned. It was her fault. And I was really concerned. It was her fault. Like we were all really concerned. It's obviously her fault. Yeah.
Cause like, man, we have this like confidence in our sperm that like, there's no real reason why, but we just know. Right. Like every time I've ever had sex with a girl, I was like, oh, my God, this is going to be like, what should we do? How do you calling the next month? I know she's pregnant, guaranteed, which I now know is a waste.
And once we found out that her ovaries were perfect and my sperm was horrible. it actually made it a lot easier for me to talk about. Really? Yeah, because I think the reason why like anybody who has fertility issues, one, it's very isolating because you're so protective of the person that you love that you don't, a lot of women feel a lot of shame around this.
Yeah, true.
And at first I felt like real shame. I was like, does God not want me to have a child? Like I was like, I didn't understand it. Like, I think I'm like a pretty good person and I'm kind to people. And I'm like, why is this happening? Like, what the fuck is going on? And yeah, so I get that.
