“I have a good life. I should be happy. But my whole life was building a career, building a business, and doing an event space, and I can’t do this much longer, if that makes sense. As you know, I’m about to turn 38 and I don’t have a wife or a girlfriend,” he said during a season 9 confessional clip. “Granted, I did have a first at-bat if you will. Just, I botched that one, you know?”

“I often wonder if I had met her at 30, would it have been different? Because I would’ve been more mature,” he replied, leading his mom to say, “Absolutely. You know why? Because to be married, you have to have all those other skills that oftentimes 22-year-old people don’t have.”
