Java 's here to watch us
Java was looking for surfer
E: What's the sign for surfers?
R: She's watching us
R: Surfer
E: Surfer
She's like growling.
There's a lot of surfers running to the beach right now
So there's a lot of people outside
even though it's raining so many people are out
R: Because it stopped raining
That cafe allows any dogs
perfect we brought Java with us
today
for todays video
And we got some sandwiches
Of course, food!
and coffee
this morning started off a little rough.
This morning it was a little bit rough
we both woke up in this weird mood
we just chill near a beach
and relax and eat and talk about really good questions
that I read while answering comments
The other day I read that question
I never actually thought about answering that
and I don't see any videos that answer that question
so I thought why not answer that question
E: Yeah
I'm gonna try to find the comment but its hard to find
I never really thought about that before
which thank you guys
you guys always ask the best questions
It just makes me think
There's another surfer, Java, shhh
No
No barking
So I got him at Dijon mustard ham sandwich
I got their pier sandwich
The question is: how do we communicate in the dark?
Do you want to go ahead and start with a little bit of history?
When we started dating
Sorry you have to put down your food
I know that sandwich is really good
So when we started dating
we didn't really have to communicate in the dark
because
we were, you know teenagers living with our parents and
We weren't left alone in the dark
I had curfew too
I had to go home by 10:30 or 11.
And we would hang out in my room and my room has
these like Christmas lights strung up
So even though it was dark outside those were always on
so we could always see each other clearly to communicate
but
you know when we moved in together
we would go to
we go sleep
And the lights were turned off
we can communicate when the lights are off
and how we do that is by touch
by touch, so and usually just very simple like, I love you
Like that
Just, I love you, love you
Exactly that
and then I do this too
You would grab my boob
That mean she loves me a lot
Yeah, I do this or I go
do the I love you sign and then I go like this and then I
squeeze it with these hand
R: Exactly like that
So he can tell, okay, it's the I love you sign
and he does that to me too
Not on my boobs but on my arm
PG-13
Anyways
When we first started dating
Yeah, we didn't really have to communicate in the dark
because it was always on
but then when we moved in together
everything changed
Honestly, a little difficult at first
because Ellen loves to sleep with everything off
No lights at all
She can't sleep with any
if one light is on she can't sleep
Mm-hmm it has to be like pitch black dark.
So
But, me on the other hand
I like to sleep with a night light
Or
With something small on
Like bathroom or
Something from far away
Well didn't, when we moved in
Oh, before we moved in together,
you would sleep with the light on
Like sometimes we would
go to sleep and the light would still be on
Yes
Because
Think about it.
You can't hear.
How do you feel?
When you sleep
because if you sleep
you can hear what's happening right?
If something loud happens you can hear that happen
But me, sleep, hear nothing.
See nothing
Light on
Kinda gives me a sense of security
Because that provides more possibility to see
If I wake up like that
I can see everything happening
If its off, can't hear
Not able to see anything either
What's happening
That's something I had to learn and accept
because we were on like
totally
opposite ends of the spectrum
Like I liked it completely dark. He liked
the light on we had to come to a compromise and
We agreed that we would have
a nightlight, which I got used to pretty quickly.
Small nightlight that's plugged in as far away as possible
But he also tends to go to sleep after I sleep so
R: I sleep very late.
Yeah, so he keeps the light
on like our bed.
R: night stand, you mean
two night, yeah-
Nightstand
What?
Nightstand
yeah, so his his side will be on and I couldn't sleep
For a really long time
so I had to use a sleeping mask to block out the light
Funny because first before the mask happened
we would argue a lot
Like she said get your butt to sleep now
Turn off the light now
I'm like I'm not even sleepy yet
I want to chill, I want to play games on my phone or IG
Whatever
Answer comments
Then she was like I can't sleep
Turn off your game
But then later we
When we got more used to living together we noticed,
is fighting the answer?
No
Even found a compromise like she said
Solved
Prefer than fighting, "Go to sleep! "Go to sleep!"
Recently, I stopped using the eye mask
And it it's all good like I can sleep but some some nights
Ryan will go to sleep and not and forget to turn off the light
I'll wake up
R: I have a problem with that.
at 2 in the morning.
Sometimes 4 in the morning and Ryan has the light on
and he has his phone like this
Or his phones on his face
Or he has a computer and he's like this
He just falls asleep
doing whatever he does and I don't understand that because I'm like,
I need to close everything
Put my sleep mask on or get ready for bed.
Take my glasses off and lay down and go to sleep
Like that's the only way I fall asleep
but he'll fall asleep anywhere or any doing anything and
He'll leave the light on so
that does kind of ruin my sleep
and we're trying to work on that, right?
Right now, right?
Give me a break
I'm old
You're not old!
He says is old but you're not old, you're still young.
Right?
Comment down below do you think he's old or young?
I'm pretty sure all of you guys will say he's young right?
What if they all say you're old
I'm old at heart.
You have you have a wise heart.
Better. Well said.
Yes
That's how we communicate in the dark.
Simple nightlight
At first nightlight was a struggle
We were at war for a few weeks.
Yes, why?
I'm going to plug it in
And then guess what
She would go over there and unplug it
E: I never did that
R: Or you moved
R: You did that before in the bathroom
E: I never did that
In the bathroom you did
You unplugged
Alright, bye guys!
