Hey Joe,,,, Write this down.....You are very well-spoken, expressive, thoughtful, seemingly "centered", gentle, generous, and questing toward self-actualization. You are attractive, and have a beautiful speaking voice!!! Add these things to your list! I'm sure that I am not alone in these observations!💗💗

Do a 10 dates in 10 days for Joe! That would be a great series to watch!

All jokes aside - How do I get a date with Joe??? He is a 10 in my eyes.

I loved that Aaron said Max always has a home in his home. You're both such good parents. :)

I'm 61, nearly 62, and have never married. My parents had a very dysfunctional marriage I think it put me off. My 4 brothers are all happily married, however. As the only daughter, I identified with my deeply unhappy mother. I've given up hope now. I wish I could go back and do things differently.

Joe you are a handsome man. However how you are on the inside takes that to another level. You truly go the extra mile for the people you care about. The kids all love you. Kids don't fake it. You can tell how they feel about you. Aaron is your person. The saying is "You are who you associate with", is true. Crystal and Aaron are caring, loving, just amazing people and so are you. Max you are killing it!!

Joe when you find your person she is going to be a very lucky woman. You deserve the best.

Max killing it as host!!!

Joe I can relate with you. I have also had some depression and I would think bad about myself too. My dad bought me a White board and he wanted me to write 7 good things about myself. My dad helped me so much. Joe I think you are a wonderful man. You are amazing. You are a very kind and loving person. You are intelligent.

I have been thinking for a long while that I would love a date with Joe. You are kind, caring and fun to be around. I’m South African living in the Middle East with my two adopted daughters. Excited to see how your story will unfold Joe. I’m sure great things are headed your way! ❤

Crystal, with divorce rates so high and way too kids in foster care you are correct and we have the goal to try help both go way down and keep families and children have way less trauma….. you all are amazing 🥰

Joe, As a happily married woman, what was the most attractive to me was the thoughtfulness, listening ability and understanding I received from my spouse, before and after we were married. To this day, we are best friends now, we can tell each other everything, accept each other as we are, and we still go on "coffee dates". We've been married 40 years, and when we've had rough times, but we believe in marriage counseling. And you have to agree on what kind of relationship you want. And you have to be able to be your true self..

You go Max. Now share and build up that confidence!!!!

Max, I love watching your growth over the last several years, and find you to be such an amazing young man. You have truly come into your own, and have a bright future in front of you. Crystal and Aaron. You are such a beautiful couple, with enormous hearts of gold. The love you share with your family and friends alike is pure and so rare. You give so freely of yourselves. I hope to see you focus more on each other, and enjoy each other in your capacity of man and wife. You were clearly born to be together forever. Now Joe. I wish you knew just how special you are. Seeing just how well you fit into the family, clearly there as a rock solid friend to not only Aaron, but Crystal and the kids as well. You are such a sweet man, with a beautiful smile, and heart of gold. Any woman would be truly lucky to be in your life. Your personality shines so bright, through your genuine smile. Don't settle for anyone less than perfect for you!

He's thinks he is only a seven. A seven but is the most loyal friend, loves outdoors, is dependable, loves kids, family-oriented, funny, cooks, live language acts of service, has a beard and bike, gentle but still masculine, kids love him and open with his mental health struggles. Sheesh.

Watched this in two parts, and just got to the part where joe says he’s ‘average joe’. Imagine being as attractive on the inside and outside as joe and thinking that. :( I’m glad that he’s realised sometimes you can be wrong about who you think you are. Joe, you’re awesome! Omg, yes, please set joe up on dates! Perhaps not via viewers though, more locally/offline to ensure they’re interested for the right reasons :)

1 date in every state!! Love it!! (Or province? Joe Canadian!!)

I love watching your KZfaq channel. And I love your podcast.

Your podcast is so inspiring! Thank you guys for putting yourselves out there to give us a smile and sometimes even hope. I’m struggling with depression for the first time over the last few months and it’s been so good to see your guys channel and learning what you have done to get help through it.

I think you should really consider following that dream Crystal. I grew up in broken home.. my mom left at an early age and my dad worked over the road and always left my sister and I with random people so he could provide for us. In 2014 I move in with my mom again and was basically on my own from then on out. I’m not sure if that or just my childhood in general cause my addiction problem. But in 2016, being 16 years old, I was around people that weren’t good for me. And one night it went too far and i don’t want to be graphic because of young viewers but I was left in a garbage can to pass by my “friends” and luckily one of them delivered my back to my mom practically lifeless And during that time even now I just wished I would’ve had someone to just let me know that it was going to be okay and help me get the help I needed. I was 16, a kid. Now I’m 23 and have kids of my own and as healthy as ever but you would help so many young kids who are In that place with nowhere to turn. 16 year old me would’ve loved that.

I know Hallie has Pcos. After years of trying to have a baby I was diagnosed & told that I probably would never have a child. That was crushing. Luckily my husband & I ended up pregnant with our 1st child. I’m not a religious person but let me just say he was miracle especially with all I went through due to my pcos during pregnancy. This disease is terrible & completely changed my life some for both the better & worse. I did have to have surgery to removed numerous fibroids & cysts that grew with my child. I also had to end up having a complete hysterectomy 1 1/2 years ago, but I did end up with 2 great kids despite thinking it was never going to happen. I think Hallie should do a pod cast about her journey. I would love to chat further about mine. Tera Carr-Martin Gahanna, Ohio. Ps I love the whole crazy families. I watch almost all I believe

Yes, love the Mel Robbins’ high 5 concept. She is a great author.

Crystal, you ARE changing lives in a major way. I commented on Bella's video earlier today, stating this. Look at the negative abusive and addiction cycles you have helped break with each adoption. You have caused positive and life giving change, in not only each child's life, but their future children and future grandchildren. It starts with one and you and Aaron have done this in a major way! Plus encouraging many viewers to do the same. You have and are doing it on a wide scale. I believe you can do it! I love the movie, "Lost & Found Family" 2009 film. I see you doing something like that, possibly along that line. I hope you watch it....great movie. I believe it is based on a true story. ♡♡♡GOD BLESS.

Aaron, Yes! This technique works. Taught by my therapist many years ago. I started clothed telling myself one thing I liked about myself and adding something new every day till you have a list. Positive affirmation works.

Every good man deserves to find love! It’ll happen Joe!

What another great podcast keep them coming and Joe you are a handsome man and have a lot of great qualities so let them shine-love you guys and God Bless you❤

Thank you Crystal for the topic of the Drug problem in our world!!

Joe I am to old for you but you are a very intelligent, good looking and kind Man. I pray for you and that you find the one that is a great partner. Chrystal and Aaron I admire you and the way you work on your marriage! Max when the time comes you will be blessed because you are truly a good young Man with excellent qualities. ❤️🙏🏻

Max, just work hard and save save save! My son bought his first little house at age 19 and now at age 21 he just sold that and bought a 2 story house with a garage and looking forward to house 3 lol. He has worked hard and made it a priority. Oh and your credit! Keep it clean and keep your score high! You can do it! Rooting for you!

Joe you are an amazing man! You are wonderful with all the kids! You are an amazing friend for Crystal and Aaron! You are so well spoken, funny, caring, thoughtful and handsome! When you add that all together you are a 10! Crystal I love your new goal! You are so wonderful, nurturing, kind and caring. You would be a wonderful counselor! Maybe that is what you should go back to school for?

Wish I had your outlook on finding my person. I'm 44 never married and have been by myself for 17 years. And if I EVER get to Arizona I would meet Joe in a heartbeat ❤️

I’m on board for the book club!

Erin I like the book club idea for sure . It would make us accountable for reading too .I am loving the podcast by the way guys.

I loved the podcast I’m going to start giving my self a high five each day I’m not going to lie I have a crush on Joe

Good luck on your search Joe, there's someone out there for is just right for you Great show guys thanks for sharing

You guys do an amazing job. Joe you have such a great and amazing personality I hope you find the one. Remember as a parent you learn but don't know everything you can always ask for advice.

U can do it crystal. I have faith. In u

As being German (living in Germany and using the Autobahn daily) I understand Aarons dream of driving a fast car on the Autobahn. I just want to mention that this is really dangerous 'cause (no offense) you might be not experienced enough on high speed. In Germany we have whats called "driving schools" where you have to take a certain amount of driving lessons on normal roads and especially on the Autobahn with a professional driver and you have to be 18 to drive all by yourself. You are also not alone on the Autobahn and you could put many people at risk because it is not easy for other people to see how fast someones driving and people get in your way all the time and at one point you might crash and end your or someone elses life. There are people dying every day because of speeding. I highly recommend driving on racing sites like the "Hockenheim Ring" or the "Nürburg Ring" in Germany. Please stay safe. Watch all your videos and enjoy/appreciate your love and effort you put into it. ❤️ (Sorry if there are a lot of mistakes in my text, its 01:30 am and English is not my mother tongue)

So random but I love Aaron’s laugh! You both should be so proud of your marriage and your family is amazing!

Love the idea of the book club

I love you guys so so so much. Keep it crazy pieces. . ❤️

Love this podcast! And love your family channel. I truly hope you all reach your dreams. Keep praying, keep doing, keep on keeping on! I am praying for dreams in my own life to come to pass...so I hope for you all this happens for all your family and friends. I was thinking it would be great for you to depending on the kids but if you could interview them on this podcast about their favourite topic maybe. I wonder if you could do a podcast with your sisters? on the areas that you are talking about and how they have worked through differently on issues etc. I really loved the podcast you did with your mum!

You guys all do a good job with the podcast. Joe you have a radio voice. You would make a good DJ. Crystal & Aaron you are such good parents & Max you seem like such a great guy.

I just love your Podcast Crystal and Aaron.

Love these podcasts. I don't get them on FB even when I liked and following. I do find the podcasts on KZfaq so I get to see them.

What Aaron is saying about looking in a mirror everyday is true. As someone who struggles with body dysmorphia, I’ve had therapist recommend doing the same thing & it really does help. Also, I love the high five idea! I’m so glad you mentioned this.

I am 60 and married/divorced once...2 grown children no grandbabies.,..I know I am not a candidate for Joe due to age,..but I sure have a heart for Joe...come to Minnesota....bring the whole gang!!

Hatchet is SUCH a great series!

Something else that I learned that helps with self esteem is… When someone gives you a compliment simply say thank you. Do not add, but my hair… But my teeth… But my whatever your self conscious about. After a while you start to believe what they are saying is true. This has helped me a lot.

Joe, when you find that person it will be a blessing for the both of you. I understand being in a place of a family being your dream ❤I am in that place as well.

Max my daughter 24 yo is also severely dyslexia. She doesn't retain what she reads because she is fighting to read. They have colored cards that u can try that help a lot of people. Unfortunately that wasn't the case with my daughter. But well worth a try

Crystal, I think it would be a great idea to teach your kids to make a list, just like you did!

This was a great Podcast I look forward to them

Aaron my Dad told me the same thing about standing naked in front of a full length mirror . He said until I learn to love the person I see it will be difficult for me to change things , mine was in regards to weight . My mom complained about my weight all my life and Dad struggled with weight as well . He did better at losing it so I happily listened to his advice

Joe in my eyes your are a 9.5 and i love watching your videos and the way you are with the kids

I'm a 38yr old and my mother STILL over steps. Admittedly I am her carer and that makes it harder.

Joe!!! I'm here!!! (in NJ) 🙋🏻‍♀️

I am 44 year old disabled mother of 4 kids who are 28, 19 , 14 and 13. I have an amazing husband of 20 years who I love dearly and I know he loves me. I have Lupus and Antiphospholipid Syndrome ( autoimmune disease that causes stillbirth , miscarriage, blood clots , stroke , migraine etc ). I’ve had life threatening blood clots in my lungs 5 times in the last 24 years , a stillborn daughter at 36 weeks , miscarriage, migraines , bunches of small strokes and numerous small blood clots. Been on blood thinner since I was 20 in 1999. When I heard you guys speak about how you need to learn to accept compliments. I can’t. I am obese , being on steroids for over 12 years and spending so much time in bed makes it very hard. My husband used to tell me but finally gave up after years of my bad reactions. My first thought was well none of you are fat or sick , it can’t be as hard for any of you. Is it really hard for you ?

It is funny you mention the list. My 13 year old daughter and I were talking about relationships and stuff like that. She has no interest in dating right now and is very realistic about the future and relationships. However we talked about having more or less a list. Being honest with that list / expectation. I told her don't be afraid to be up front about her expectations etc.

Thank you Joe for being so vulnerable and sharing those tools from therapy. I've never had self confidence but after my divorce it has tanked. I also like Crystal's idea of making a list of qualities but my problem would be no one is going to make the list 😂. One of mine is being good with kids, but a super strong one that is non negotiable is having a strong faith and strong relationship with God. But I'm in my mid 30s and all the guys that have that quality are already married. 😔 trying to trust God in the waiting though. Last thought- Dave Ramsay's total money makeover-5 stars, love it, I am almost debt free 😁

Joe, you seem like an amazing man with a lot of great qualities. Don't sell yourself short.

I enjoy your new vlog tonight 😊

Yay❤️

I know, I know, I have to comment on each subject as they come! Regarding the grandparents issue, my daughter lost 3 babies and went through some heartbreaking times. She went thru IVF and finally was able to have two babies. I was so excited! When my kids were young, I did not have very much money and so gift giving was pretty low on the priority list. So now, I can afford to buy things, my daughter has put me on restrictions! She says I can only buy 1 gift. For Christmas, I bought my 3 year old a Disney princess dress, princess shoes, a tiara, earrings and necklace. I wrapped them all in one large box. I was so excited, maybe even more then my 3 year old Granddaughter. I did the same thing for my 1 year old granddaughter, only different gifts, mainly because I had been collecting things for a while and I couldn't give the 3 year old more than the 1 year old. I do partially blame my daughter though. She is the one that told me that my granddaughter wanted to be a princess like Bell. It looked so much better then when I was a kid and wore crushed pop cans on the heels of my shoes for high heels and 2 bobby pins, on my ears, hooked together, so the bottom one dangled, for my earrings.

similar to Joes experience!!!

Joe your a 10❤ you have a big heart

Joes voice is so soothing

My 1st walk off podcast. LMAO Max🤣🤣

Me too Max on the reading I also have ADHD and 10 kids audio books are the best

Hey. Crystall. I have. Faithin u. U been a great mom i think. God loves u. I love ur family. Tell. Them i love them all.

♡♡♡

My mom taught me when you have problems with being complimented to just say thank you so even if I don't believe their View of some positive thing about me I just say thank you

Always here watching the podcast and vlogs. Check out a book called Think Big. The marriage questions were so relevant thank you guys

Joe is a 9.5 out of 10. I will be on his list. 😅

Max Lucado’s book “facing your giants” great book. Especially having children with trauma

I love your podcast love your family. ❤❤

Max it’s simply called growing up, and you never need to apologize for it! Of course you’ll always have a place at you folks, but wanting your own is absolutely normal, and you’re at exactly the age to be making your plans for that!

You guys give amazing advice. Also, I think Joe would be a great addition to our friend group :-) I really do hope you find the right one and could have a family and the next maybe one 2 1/2 years. Good luck.

❤

Max, we love the book Rich Dad Poor Dad!! It definitely opened our eyes to the "rat race" and now we are able to teach our kids how to avoid it. It should definitely be on a book club reading list!

50 dates in 50 states. I want to see that! As a single 56 yo foster/adoptive mom wanting to find her perfect match - but way out of dating scene - I could use some updated tips and tricks to finding love. Bring it on!!!

If you come to vegas I would like to meet you. I relate to a lot of the things your family goes though. I watch and listen daily.

I had heard to make a list of what we want in a spouse and then work on those things in yourself.

Crystal i get that ,teache a class on support 👏

“The Noticer” by Andy Andrews… I would suggest another version of the mirror thing. Stand in front of a mirror and practice saying compliments to yourself! It may help to start by reciting 1 Corinthians (i think 13) put your name in every where it says “love is…” Start an inspirational quote journal. Anytime you see a positive quote that makes you feel good, write it in the journal. Become aware of self talk. Listen to how you talk to yourself. Turn any negative messages into an honest positive thought.

I love you guys so much! Joe, you seem like such a sweet guy! I can totally relate to most of the topics you talk about. And your single!?

Joe. You are at least a 9. If only I wasn’t 20 years older or in Canada 🇨🇦😉

windsor ontario canada joe good job

Joe you seem like an incredible guy and every time I see you I think you and my sister in law would make a great couple. If you do your 50 dates 50 states I got one for you in Boise Idaho!

The brown background is hard on the eyes. I like the blue background much better. The people stand out much better with the blue. The couches don't seem to be the right color with either background. Just giving you my two cents. Kylie from Reidhead Homestead might be fun to watch designing your set.😊

I hope All of Your dreams will come true and come to pass.. ❤️😊

As a grandparent it is hard sometimes to remember my grandson is not my son. We do not interfere with how my daughter raises her son. BUT my daughter also knows. When my grandson stays with us. We are going to do things our way. We are not asking for permission to do something or give something to our grandson. My grandson tells me everything. And he will rat his parents out. I will tell my daughter his feelings. But also she will not say anything to him and what he tells me. And there are times he tells me stuff and I handle it. I only tell his parents if I think it is really important.

Hi guys a good series of books would be moganville I think max would like these it helped me with my dyslexia kind regards Cheryl from England

Ok Joe I am sending another wink wink. I am sure you get a lot of those and now that the world knows you are not only single but looking... You will have countless options. I pray you find just who you are looking for. If you want a friend I can do that.

♥️♥️♥️♥️ love you all .

Joe, the new Bachelor show! I really have never watch that show.

A great 3 book series for all four of you (even in podcast) is The Kingdom and The Crown. By Gerald Lund. It was a series I couldn’t put down. Fishers of Men is the first book.

Im sorry Aaron i just cant do that. I have tumors on my body i cant even look at my self in a mirror. I due like myself and do think i am beautiful in side and treat others as i would like to be treated. I was also bullied in school, work and just out in public. I have to worrie about it all the time.

Joe@ You are not a 7, you are somewhere between 9.9 and 10. I don't find guys with a beards atrative, but you are a really nice person, which makes you beautiful inside-out and you look really amazing despite of your beard. You are kind, generous, well-spoken, knowledging, patient, passionate, fun, have a great sense of humour and the list go on. My dad always says that a man who doesn't mind children and animals, is a good man, but a man that children and animals wants to be arround is an even better man.

Suggestion for the remote guests what about a TV screen or a larger computer monitor temporarily mounted to the new set wall so that the People viewing on KZfaq can see the remote guest
