"I don't wanna know how many bodies you have" - Patrick Beverley gets real on dating advice & judgemental relationships

The "The Pat Bev Pod with Rone" conversations between NBA star Patrick Beverley and Adam Ferrone, popularly known as Rone, have generated considerable buzz.

A candid discussion on dating and relationships was recently featured on the podcast. Beverley, who was well-known for his tenacity on the court, revealed a different side of himself by discussing his opinions on relationships.

Patrick Beverley, the Philadelphia 76ers point guard, and Rone, a well-known battle rapper and podcast presenter, had an insightful conversation about the value of being aware of a partner's past. A question regarding the significance of a person's "body count" in a relationship ignited the conversation.

Beverley opened the conversation by stating his preference for openness in a relationship. He said:

"I don't wanna know how many bodies you have."

He mentioned that he would prefer them to be honest about it even if he doesn't want to know how many previous partners his significant other has had. Rone questioned if such a declaration was timed appropriately and whether it may cause unneeded angst.

The 76ers star promptly made it clear that his goal is to inform rather than judge. He contrasted it to checking a person's criminal record before letting them drive you home.

Rone asserted that people can decide to live in a fantasy world to shield themselves from reality and that such information could result in judgement.
