Episode Date: May 10, 2024

Hi, I'm Mike Chernivsky, and your listen to this podcast is Un Called For. Welcome, everyone to yet another snowed-in edition of this podcast is Uncalled for. So, yeah, once again, we, well, we're technically not snowed in, but it's snowed enough that classes and stuff got camped. So I'm counting that as being snowed in and it's below zero degrees as I'm recording this I unfortunately at home and it's warm everything and doing this in the middle of a playoff game being played 45 minutes east of where I am sitting where people are freezing their butts off anyway

so let's do this so in our February 14 special our friend of the podcast Pat Lamb suggested a book The Five Love Languages

The Secrets to Love That Last by Gary Chapman I am not taking the time to read the book just yet but I can tell you from

the table of contents we have our five languages if you will there words of affirmation quality time receiving gifts acts of service

and fiscal touch well it turns out there is a test for this. So I'm going to go ahead and take the test. You can search for it online. Five Love Languages Test. And this one is journey to Dr. Chapman himself. So it can simply read each pair of statements and circle the one that best describes you. I'm just going to keep a tally. all right so

number one I like to receive notes of affirmation from you or I like it when you hug me I like hugs when I do

notes of affirmation so I'll go with that one which is score 4E number two I like to spend one-on-one time with you or I feel loved when you

give me practical help depends on the situation but given the context of what this test is about I will go B number three I like it when you give me gifts or

I like taking long walks with you I'll go with the second option, so B. Number four, I feel loved when you do things to help me. Or I feel loved when you hug or touch me. Ooh, that is a toughie because I like them both. both by will lean towards E

Number five I feel loved when you hold me in your arms or I feel loved when I receive a gift from you I'm not much for receiving gifts So I would go E Number six I like to go places with you

Or I like to hold hands with you sadly have not been in a situation I can hold hands much but I've gone to plenty of places with ladies so I would go B number seven I feel loved when you acknowledge me

visible symbols of love gifts are very important to me the first one so A number eight I like to sit close to you or I like it when you tell me

that I am attractive it is clearly right there because I don't think I'm attractive number nine I like to

spend time with you or I like to receive little gifts from you B Number 10 I know you love me when you help me

or your words of acceptance are important to me and this one I'm going to go with the D option okay number 11 I believe there are 30 of these

I like to be together when we do things I like the kind words you say to me so B B B B B B B 12

I feel whole when we hug what you do affects me more than what you do affects me more than what you say um e number 13

I value your praise and try to avoid your criticism or several inexpensive gifts

make me mean more to me than one large expensive gifts uh a excuse

I'm not doing too well in the seas there. All right. Number 14. I feel closer to you when you touch me. I feel close when we are talking

or doing something together. It seems like a coin flip to me, but I'm going to sightage to B. Number 15. I like you to compliment my achievements I know you love me

when you do things for me that you don't enjoy doing it is clearly A Number 16 I like for you to touch me when you walk by I like when you listen to me

sympathically okay point for B so 17 I really enjoy receiving gifts from you I feel loved when you help me

with my home projects D number 18 I like when you compliment my appearance I feel love when you take the time to understand my feelings B

that's good I am a ogre number 19 no no no no 19 I feel secure when you are touching me your acts of service make me feel loved

um let's go D sounds very nice number 12 I appreciate the many things you do for me I like receiving gifts that you make D all right 21 I really enjoy the feeling I get when you give me your undivided attention or I really enjoy the feeling I get it's when you do some active service for me be number 22 well my jersey number 22 I feel loved when you celebrate my birthday with a gift I feel a love when you celebrate my

birthday with meaningful words well that that actually happens my last birthday I'll say A So So yeah And that's written or spoken I appreciate that 23 I feel loved when you help me out with my chores

Or I know you are thinking of me when you give me a gift D 24. I appreciate it when you remember special days with a gift. Or I appreciate it when you listen patiently and don't interrupt me. Point on the board for C, maybe, except I'm going to go B. number 25 I enjoy extended trips with you

or I like to know that you're concerned enough to help me with my daily task um D number 26 kissing me unexpectedly makes me feel loved

giving me a gift for no occasion makes me feel loved finally we get a point four C alright not saying that kissing is a bad thing

I very much appreciated but give me a choice between the two just give me a gift at that point 27

I like to be told that you appreciate me or I like for you to look at me when we're talking 0.4A because

the other option is quite difficult for me and I will greatly in knowledge that so 28 your gifts are always special to me or I feel loved when you kiss me seems like a repeat and rephrasing of 26 so I'll give a slight edge to

see 29 I feel loved when you tell me how much you appreciate me or I feel loved when you enthusiastically to a task I have requested the answer is A and lastly

number 30 I need to be hugged by you every day or I need to I need your words of affirmation daily it is E now at the end so we tally

everything up so A is 6 B is 10 C is 2 D is 6 and E is 6 so it looks like my preferred love language is

quality time and that's a three-way time between words of affirmation access service and fiscal touch and receiving gifts is dead last so so ladies

that's that's a one just I enjoy spending the quality time you know you don't need to give me gifts let's be honest

that's that's always appreciated but you don't need to do it not for me just just us just have someone to spend time with that's all I really ask in life

and that's he's going to do it for this test and I think I might follow up with this by reading that particular chapter in the book so that's going to do for this particular snowed-in version of the podcast
