as hot, hot,

you know, but--

But is sex the relationship?

Is the relationship sex?

No, it's not.

For me, the relationship is

the comprehensive total of

everything going on here.

I think it's

a hot relationship.

Yes.

[Chuckles]

I think it's warm

and could be hotter. Yeah.

How could it be hotter?

I guess more sex

and having more intimacy.

More--OK.

So, on a scale

of one to ten,

how hot is it for you?

I'd say

it's a 6 or 7.

6 or 7?

And some more sex

would make it an 8?

No.

Well, in that area,

I'm saying.

In that area.

OK. Ha ha!

But I guess we see it

differently.

Hmm.

The last relationship

that I was in prior to

meeting George,

this was an individual

that--the image I have

in my head,

I would basically

show up with my heart

in my hand.

This individual

would, yeah, caress it

for a while, and then

take out a sledgehammer

and smash it to bits

and then walk away.

And then I would be in

pain, I would delicately

reconstruct this heart,

tape it, glue it,

bandage it all together

and come back:

"Here you go.

I'm willing to show up

again with this,"

and again:
accept,

bash it again--even into

smaller pieces--

and I would again,

you know, construct it

again

and continue to show up;

whereas, in this case,

I was determined,

by any means necessary,

to not surrender this

and to really, really

preserve the integrity

and the wholeness

of what was something

that was so special

and fragile that I kept

surrendering over

to other individuals who

had no respect for it.

So, uh, yeah,

I was very--

I was very protective

of my heart.

[Distant dog barking]

JOE:
We come to bed,

11:
00, relaxing, whatever.

The kids jump in.

Alex dives in...

Ha ha ha ha!

Comes here with the dog.

She goes to bed,

I say, "OK, she's gone.

Joey, finish your homework?"

"Yeah."

Run, jump over the top--

pow!--into the bed,

hug and kiss

and "Love you, guys,"

doggie, doggie, fighting

with the dog, go to bed.

Fights with the dog,

we're always yelling

about the dog, the dog.

Right, and that's

what happened, and we

wake up, and the dog.

Here he is.

Joe has an issue

with the dog.

He hates the dog.

He really--he's

pretending

to like the dog;

he doesn't like

the dog at all.

And I don't want

to hurt the dog.

I don't want to beat him

or anything like that.

He doesn't want

to hurt him.

[Mouths "hates the dog"]

I got 3 kids

that are up our butts.

I'd like to be able

to not have anything:

pets, dogs.

Usually when he comes in,

he's like, "This damn dog!"

'Cause he's barking.

Every day I hear him

under his breath,

muttering about the dog.

Can we curse

a little bit here?

No.

He's a cock block,
