1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Hey there again, everybody, Amy and TJ here coming to

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: you from a studio in a cold New York City

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: where we are just a couple of days away from Christmas.

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 2: That's right, it's beginning to fill a lot like Christmas.

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: It's been brit Oh. See if you could see TG

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: right now, he's shaking his head at me and his

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: eyes were kind of closed. But I think you were

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: rolling them too.

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: I think you could see the listener right now. They

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: were doing the exact same thing once they heard you

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: say it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: Oh, I love that song. I'm going to be sad

13
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: when the Christmas music stops.

14
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: Then I'll have the biggest smile on my face. But hey,

15
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: we are back here. This is our second episode this week,

16
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: our second brand new episode. We told you last episode,

17
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: and in fact, we were going to start doing two

18
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: episodes a week at least for the rest of this year,

19
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: and part of that was getting the last one at least,

20
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: was answering your questions. Again, we haven't seen it's ahead

21
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: of time, and in the entest we got so many

22
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: questions that we wanted to get to as many as possible,

23
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: as mean as we could, so instead of just doing

24
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: one episode of it, we're doing too.

25
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 2: All right, you ready to go, Let's do it round two.

26
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 3: Andy Lee asks TJ. You mentioned receiving a threat in

27
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 3: the first episode, which sort of implies that you were

28
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: the target of the photos released. Will you continue this discussion.

29
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: I've said all I am going to say about it.

30
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: It happened, Oh you were threatened, and it seems that

31
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: someone made good on that threat, and that's it, and

32
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm can do about it now. And they're sitting here

33
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: in this place, and look, don't don't have any ill

34
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: will or who harbor any negative feelings about it. People

35
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: have their motivations and nothing we could do. But if

36
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: whatever happened needed to happen to land us in this place,

37
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: you have to look at it in that way, and

38
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: we are where we want to be, need to be,

39
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: and should be. And if that was a catalyst for it, fine,

40
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: certainly wish no ill will towards anybody else.

41
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: So Holly asks, my question is why didn't you guys

42
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 3: both speak out right away? It bothered me that you

43
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: didn't go hard at the allegations right from the start.

44
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 2: Well, Holly, it bothered us too. And I think maybe

45
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 2: it would have been better had we done that, But

46
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: what we were trying to do was keep our jobs.

47
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: We did have press releases ready to go that we

48
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: had written that day, and even through that initial first day,

49
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: first couple of days, obviously we went back on the air.

50
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: Even when we were temporarily allegedly temporarily taken off the

51
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: air to let things cool down, we were still hopeful

52
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: for that entire.

53
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 4: Was it six weeks, eight weeks that.

54
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: We would be going back to work. I mean, we

55
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: knew that as the days and weeks went on, it

56
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: was getting less and less likely. Our hearts, our guts,

57
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 2: our minds, everything about us wanted to speak out. But

58
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: once we didn't speak out the initial first few days,

59
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 2: at what point do you then it got really hard?

60
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: And this wasn't in my wheelhouse or in yours. I'm

61
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: not a I'm not a I've never had to do

62
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: press on myself or be a publicist for myself. I'd

63
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: never been in a situation like this, So I was

64
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: trying to follow what other people were telling me. The

65
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: right thing to do was.

66
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: We've been holding on as as you were talking, Andy,

67
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: I looked, I pulled up a draft. We've been talking

68
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: about this for a while. It's there, but there's a

69
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: draft email in my inbox right now. In my draft

70
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: box from November thirtieth, twenty twenty two. That draft is

71
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: say that is the exact day that it.

72
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: Was released or the pictures were released.

73
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: That stuff was released. This draft was never sent as

74
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: an email because of what she just described. This is

75
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: so wild. I'm reading it two different statements. We decided

76
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: not to really statement together. Instead, it was going to

77
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: be two separate She would have hers, I would have mine.

78
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: And the email as I look in bold letters and

79
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: underlined capital letters, it says Amy and it quotes my

80
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: divorce is nearly finalized after we decided to separate. CJ

81
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: and I have been friends for years, and our relationship

82
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: has evolved only in recent weeks. I asked for privacy

83
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: for my family as we continue to heal. In quote

84
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: that was Robot's statement that was never released. Under that

85
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: bold letters, capital letters, TJ underlined this was mine. After

86
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: month long separation. I'm in the final stage of my divorce,

87
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: a process that has been difficult in my family, and

88
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: for their sake, had hoped to keep private. I have

89
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: leaned on my closest friend during this painful stretch, and

90
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: very recently that friendship became more out of respect for

91
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: my family. I am requesting privacy at this time. That

92
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: never saw the light of day, and it's never been

93
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: heard until this moment. Andy and I see the look

94
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: on your face, and maybe some people will have that

95
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: same reaction. But we asked, we were ready to go,

96
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: and we got the breaks put on that, and we

97
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: could have moved. I guess we could have done if

98
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: we want, but we were trying.

99
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: To keep our jobs.

100
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. So to answer the question that is that is why, gosh.

101
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: It's so hard? Adria asks, why does Tea Chase still

102
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: not follow Amy on Instagram?

103
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: You know what, I would like to hear this. I

104
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: have tried and it hasn't. It hasn't worked.

105
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm going to stick with the theme

106
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: of looking up drafts in my why love this? I

107
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: am not kidding you all.

108
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: This This is are you going to get into who

109
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 2: you do follows?

110
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 4: It seems creepy, but then it's not.

111
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: I follow one person on Instagram and there's a reason, Simon,

112
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: and she was the daughter of a really good friend

113
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: I had back in my scene in days. But she

114
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: helped me. My friend helped me set up my Instagram account.

115
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: I'm like, how do you do that? And how do

116
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: you follow somebody? So initially just said just follow my

117
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: daughter as an example, right, it's kids like eleven years

118
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: old too, But at the time she was little, but

119
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: they had an Instagram account for her. She said, just

120
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: follow her. It was just to set it up, and

121
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: so I never started following anybody else. So now it's

122
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: just funny to me. So I don't want to follow

123
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: anybody because it would break the tradition of having just

124
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: that one person I follow.

125
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 2: But if you were going to follow one other person,

126
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 2: who would it be?

127
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: Probably my sister.

128
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 4: I walked round.

129
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: But again I'm thinking about this, Andy, because I have drafts.

130
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: So I have a draft email I keep that says

131
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: Christmas in the subject line, and I have certain people

132
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: listed for potential Christmas gifts, and I have your your

133
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: thing here and it's a bunch of stuff listed.

134
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: But follow Amy on Insta that would be a Christmas gift.

135
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see what happens December twenty fifth.

136
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: Obviously, I'm not going to do it now that this

137
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: is out, Now that they were doing this, okay, but

138
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: it's actually listed. It's funny to ask the question that

139
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: it is actually that big of a thing between us,

140
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: and it bothers her feet like just empty, Yeah, kind of.

141
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: I don't understand how that works.

142
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: I just I don't sit and scan through social media

143
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: and look through.

144
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: And it's oh, is there judgment there in your eyes?

145
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: No, it's not judgment. That's just a difference you and

146
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: I do two We Yeah.

147
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: I like to scroll through Instagram.

148
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: Yes, So the point it really one of my favorite. Look,

149
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: the phone can bring you closer to somebody one thousand

150
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: miles away and take you farther away from the person

151
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: sitting in the next room with you. That's her. I'm

152
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: sitting right there with her, and she she can't do

153
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: two things at one time. That's not saying not to

154
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: be offensive there, I'm saying, you focus on this one thing.

155
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: I can't get you to focus on something else. So

156
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: I know to step away, let her have her moment,

157
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: let her do her wordle. What's the new one?

158
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: Well, I like wordle. It's all the New York Times games.

159
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: We do connections, connections, yes, I love and then the

160
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: mini crossword and so I actually I actually have a

161
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: group of girls, my daughters are on to. It's we

162
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: call it girdle girls who do wordle.

163
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: He's laughing because things it's clever.

164
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: Girdle next Chaine and every day we all send each

165
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: other the results of and he makes so much fun

166
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: of me. But I am sharpening my brain. And you know,

167
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: I am fifty. As you pointed out, I got a

168
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: few years on you, So I got to keep that

169
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: mind sharp.

170
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: You're sharpening your brain. I'm sharpening the knives for what's

171
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: coming at us. But you play your.

172
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: Games all right, kay? Asks when did doctor jen find

173
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 3: out about your relationship? The three of you had great

174
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 3: chemistry on the show. And did she ever suspect anything?

175
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: Now, I will say doctor Ashton is somebody that I told.

176
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: She might be one of the first I think I

177
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: told her about the divorce. She is one I think

178
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: I told about the divorce before I even told my parents.

179
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: We were going to her wedding. Yeah, and there was

180
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: gonna be questions why did I not bring my ex?

181
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 2: Why did he not bring his ax? And so we

182
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 2: were going to her wedding. It was the night before

183
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 2: the New York City Marathon, so This is just what

184
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: a week or two before the tabloids went ahead and

185
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: show these pictures of us together.

186
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: That was a few timeline there. This was only a

187
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: few days before we started being followed because the story

188
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: didn't come out to could remember her wedding like no

189
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: remember fifth or right?

190
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: We went to her wedding together, and so I'm sure

191
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: there might have been some raised eyebrows. But we needed

192
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: to tell her. She already knew that I was getting divorced,

193
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: but you went ahead and told her beforehand, just so

194
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: that it wouldn't be it would be unusual that we would,

195
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 2: you know, not bring what you would think was your

196
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: spouse to a wedding. So she did find out about that, but.

197
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: We didn't tell her ahead of time about our actual relationship.

198
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,359
Speaker 2: And I don't I don't know that she was suspicious.

199
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 2: She never said anything to me, She never asked me

200
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 2: any questions, so I don't believe she was.

201
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: All right.

202
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: Joy asks do you think if not for the social

203
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 3: media fodder, would you guys have kept your jobs?

204
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, without a doubt. It was explained to us

205
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: that it was the distraction, and I don't think it

206
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 2: was necessarily social media. I think it was the tabloids specifically,

207
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: and it just it's interesting to me that publications that

208
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 2: are widely viewed as tabloids or not something that you

209
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: can rely upon, could have that big of an impact

210
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: on our careers that we had spent decades creating and establishing.

211
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: That was shocking to me. But that is the reason,

212
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: and I think because social media then people share those stories.

213
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 2: The two combined, yes, created a perfect storm where we

214
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 2: lost our jobs. It wasn't because of anything technical, it

215
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 2: was because of the spectacle.

216
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 3: Gotcha perfect? Heather asks TJ. Do you find interracial dating

217
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 3: more challenging? Especially when I heard you speak about only

218
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 3: hearing two black artists sing at the wedding you both attended.

219
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: You know, that's there's so many stories I could tell

220
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: that would be funny here, but it's actually interesting and

221
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: it becomes disappointing that the conversations we have privately are

222
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: not the ones we can have publicly as a country,

223
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: because there's so much that she says to me that

224
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: if she were to say on social media or in public,

225
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: people would try to cancel or immediately call her this

226
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: or that. When she's just opening herself up to something

227
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: she doesn't know, and she feels safe talking to me

228
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: about it. And then I explained something to her and

229
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: she said, oh, it's been so many times like, oh,

230
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: I didn't get that. I never saw it that way.

231
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 1: And that's fine, that's perfectly fine. But I just I

232
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: find it. And there's so much about her and her

233
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: life and her background and her We talk cultural and

234
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: we talk about music and things like that. That's one thing,

235
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: and that's funny we can laugh at, but there's so

236
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: much else about our up we were, how we were raised,

237
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: what we're exposed to that are so different that make

238
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: it interesting. It makes it fun, but it's safe. We're

239
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: in a safe place to have those conversations, and so

240
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: I do love it. We talk about race all the time.

241
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 4: We do, and I think we would like to.

242
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 2: We'll be thoughtful about it all, but we would like

243
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: to have those conversations because these are conversations that we

244
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: have stop, that we have together that I know that

245
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: if more people could have, it would be it would

246
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 2: bring people together. You can't know what you don't know.

247
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: I think that's the thing, and that's the place that

248
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: I've come to and I've always believed this, but reinforced

249
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 2: now after having so many conversations, if we can just

250
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: all come to the table saying I don't know what

251
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, and just start there, and that's where

252
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: we started. But we obviously this is nearly a decade

253
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 2: long friendship that's built into now a a beautiful relationship,

254
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: and we have trust. That's what's lacking in most conversations,

255
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 2: and rightfully so.

256
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: But you start from that place where I know this

257
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: is a good person. You know, you start from that

258
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 1: place initially that this person isn't evil, and I've pulled

259
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: her to the side. Hey, you said this, and if

260
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: you've dota this could be taken that way. We do

261
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: that sometimes and so it's the the other part of that,

262
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: And to be completely honest there is that you're I'm

263
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: in the public eye. I'm a black man who has

264
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: been for my entire career embraced by a black viewership,

265
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: a black fan base, the black community in so many ways.

266
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: And I have been as everybody knows, anybody knows me,

267
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: how knows my level of involvement, engagement in organizations or

268
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: communities that have nothing to do with something I'm doing

269
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: on television. That's just who I am. That's how I was.

270
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I came up in. This is

271
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: my community. But you look at that, Wait a minute,

272
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: you're so down for your community, then why what you're

273
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: doing over here with this blonde hair, blue eyed white girl.

274
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: And that's just the truth, if you're being honest about it.

275
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: But that sometimes gets in your own head about and

276
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: you think that's out there.

277
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 2: Man.

278
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: Ain't ain't a black person out there who knocks me

279
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: for loving who I am. If you're being honest about it,

280
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: nobody's like what you love, who you love, and that's okay.

281
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: They're folks in this country who have fought to love

282
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: who they love, who have died for loving who they love.

283
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: So it's not for me. I think that gets in

284
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: my own head sometimes and it shouldn't, But I think

285
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: I think it's doing a disservice to the black folks,

286
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: the black community, to think they they don't accept or appreciate,

287
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: or can understand or even would be supportive that you're

288
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: loving somebody or in a relationship with someone outside of

289
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: your race.

290
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 2: And I would say that, you know, initially, when the

291
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: news of our relationship came out, when I had my

292
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: work email, I was aghast and this was the minority.

293
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: But there were some really hateful, awful emails that included

294
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: death threats, specific death threats, because I was with a

295
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: black man and I had never experienced that before. And

296
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 2: it was just a little taste of just some of

297
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: what I have never or could never or had never

298
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 2: experienced before. And it was eye opening, to say the

299
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: very least. And I would just say that despite obviously

300
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: all the things we've learned about each other and respected

301
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: about each other, despite the color of our skin or

302
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: our cultural backgrounds, we have so much more in common,

303
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: you know, we have so many shared values how we

304
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: were raised. Actually there were a lot of things that

305
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: were the same. That when you have shared values and

306
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 2: you have shared modes of operation and you care about

307
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: the same things, the other stuff you will figure out.

308
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: But if you have that that bass and we do

309
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: have that shared that shared base, you can build on

310
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 2: that from there. And it's a beautiful thing.

311
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: But sure, Crosby, Steals, Nash and Young was playing in

312
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: the background at your house, and maybe I was listening

313
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: to a little more line Richie, But.

314
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: Whatever, I love Lionel Richie, what are you talking about?

315
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: This is the thing how many black people have been

316
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: to your house? No, I love Lionel Richie. Come on

317
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: if that's your black Cridentel?

318
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 4: Are you Sidney per right? All right?

319
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: Oh Mama, Robock, Papa roback. Guess who's coming to Dinna?

320
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 3: Alright, Martin, we have to forgive us Marta. Sue asks,

321
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 3: do you feel more comfortable in the podcast chair or

322
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 3: the broadcast chair?

323
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: Podcast?

324
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 2: Podcast is amazing? We've never gotten to actually just be us.

325
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: Maybe people for us in the broadcasting chair, where we

326
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 2: were more buttoned up and reading.

327
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 4: Please someone a script?

328
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 2: But no, this is fun. I love this.

329
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 3: Kate asks what is your favorite part about running, both

330
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 3: separately and together? Kate's doing her first half marathon. Congrats Katy,

331
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 3: and she'd love to hear more about your experience. What's

332
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 3: a running playlist must have? What's something that the two

333
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 3: of you want to do together that maybe you haven't.

334
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Kate, I this is right up my alley.

335
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 2: I'm so excited you're gonna run a half marathon. It's

336
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 2: amazing to challenge yourself and I love running for a

337
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: lot of reasons. First of all, it's such a euphemism

338
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 2: for life. You know, when you're struggling, and you're not

339
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 2: going to have great runs all the time when you're training.

340
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 2: But it's it's just this notion that you keep going anyway.

341
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: When your body tells you to stop, when you're brain

342
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: tells you to stop, you just keep putting one foot

343
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 2: in front of the other. And there's something that I

344
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 2: carry with me when I'm going through other tough times.

345
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 2: I remember, Hey, you're in the middle of a tough run.

346
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 2: You just keep going. It's as simple as that. And

347
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: so you're you learn that your body and your mind

348
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 2: are stronger than you think. You realize that you actually

349
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 2: can control urges to stop or to like when pain happens.

350
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: And I love the idea of getting on the other

351
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 2: side of pain because it's progress, it's accomplishment. And I

352
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 2: love music, but I'm a big fan of I'm not

353
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 2: just saying this because we have a podcast. I love podcasts,

354
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 2: and I love listening to books because after a while,

355
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 2: when you're training, the music kind of gets old. So

356
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 2: I save that for race day a lot of times.

357
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 2: But I love listening to a good murder mystery. I

358
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 2: love listening to I mean Oprah's Super Soul Conversations has

359
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 2: gotten me through a lot of long runs. I love.

360
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: Are you promoting Oprah's podcast?

361
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 2: Well, that was the first podcast that I fell in

362
00:18:58,480 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: love with.

363
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 1: I know, but that is.

364
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 2: Actually what got me into listening to podcasts.

365
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: We're trying to build an audience and we're directing them

366
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: to AM.

367
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 4: I would suggests.

368
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: Running, but it's just it's it's such a beautiful way

369
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 2: to see what you're capable.

370
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: Of, and congratulations hate on doing it. It's gonna feel

371
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: great when you get to that to the finish line.

372
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: It's uh and again I'm I've been always work out,

373
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: but Robot was the one that got me into being

374
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: an actual runner. I would run, but just for some

375
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: aerobic exercise, but I would. She's the one really responsible

376
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: for me becoming a runner. And to now when I

377
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: miss a day of running, it feels weird, like we've

378
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: gotten to that point to where we feel like the

379
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: day can't start or we haven't done something unless we run.

380
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 1: So congratulations to what you do. As far as what

381
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: you listen to, I am a hype music guy. Either

382
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: it is needs to be hip hop or hype music,

383
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: or it needs to be something like like just to

384
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: have some kind of great Crescendo has a great like

385
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: it gets your move on once crazy as it sounds

386
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: is wait for it from Hamilton no Way like some

387
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: of that just gets you going like that. I love

388
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: those two things and the other thing I listened to

389
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: a lot on some of our long training runs. I

390
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: listen to a lot of comedy specials, so I listen

391
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: to a lot of stand up whether that's Chris Rock

392
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: and of course Dave Chappelle my favorites, but Dion Cole

393
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: I just discovered not too long ago, who I love,

394
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: So those are my things. I listened to the.

395
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 2: Keep It Going. I love TJ's playlists when he does

396
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 2: send them to me. He does, and they're very sweet.

397
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 2: And in terms of what we want to do next,

398
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 2: I think we're kind of into the New York City

399
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: marathon thing. I've done three, you've done two. I can't

400
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 2: imagine we wouldn't do it again. But I'm actually a

401
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 2: huge fan of half marathons. They're perfect, so I want

402
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: to do I want to do the Paris half Marathon.

403
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 2: I kind of want to look at creating vacations around you.

404
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 2: You get your run in and then you have fun.

405
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: So I always have this run to fun kind of mentality.

406
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 2: So incorporating that into a vacation actually is even better.

407
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 2: You feel like you've earned the fund that's going to

408
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 2: ensue after you're done.

409
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: For sure.

410
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 3: I recommend doing the Miami Half.

411
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: The Miami Half.

412
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 3: Three years ago.

413
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: Hot, No, because.

414
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 3: You do it in the morning. They do it in January.

415
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: Oh, I'd be into that.

416
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: Christ perfect.

417
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 3: It's beautiful, great weather, and then you have the beach,

418
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 3: all right. Perfect. So Julie is asking, she loves the podcast.

419
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 3: She's asking, what motivates you to run in marathons? How

420
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 3: do you train? And what diet tips might you have

421
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 3: for someone who's over fifty.

422
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 2: So I got into marathoning. And by the way, I

423
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 2: want to say this, I had never run more than

424
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 2: a ten k before the age of forty, and it

425
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 2: was only after my breast cancer journey where I had

426
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: felt like my body failed me. I didn't trust my

427
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 2: body anymore. There's a lot of mental things that go

428
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 2: on with you when you go through something like that

429
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 2: and you're worried about recurrence, You're worried about if it

430
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 2: comes back. And so I just really had a difficult

431
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 2: relationship with my body and my health, and it was

432
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 2: actually the Shape Women's half marathon. They asked me to

433
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 2: be the Grand Marshal, and I thought, oh my god,

434
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: I could never run a half marathon. My dad was

435
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 2: a marathon er, so I had someone who I looked

436
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 2: up to. But I remember always saying to him, how

437
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 2: do you do that? And he started running marathons in

438
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: his fifties. But it was that little spark, that little challenge,

439
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 2: and so I agreed to run a half marathon. But

440
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 2: I actually asked if I could do a relay with

441
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 2: my best friend, Sarah Haines, and so she said, I said,

442
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 2: I'll do seven miles. I'll meet you at six. We'll

443
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 2: run a mile together, and then you take us through

444
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 2: the rest. What happened was I got to mile seven

445
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 2: and I was feeling so good. I said, I'm just

446
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 2: going to keep running. So I just kept running and

447
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 2: I was hyperventilating over the finish line and barely made it.

448
00:22:58,680 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 2: But I made it, and I thought, you know what,

449
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 2: I did it, But it was really painful, and unnecessarily

450
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 2: so because I didn't train. So I started training, and

451
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 2: that's when I started doing half marathons. And once I

452
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 2: did enough, I thought the New York City Marathon asked me, Hey,

453
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 2: would you consider it? And sure enough, I said, okay.

454
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 2: So it's five months. We do the Hall Higden method.

455
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 2: I print out Novice one and I just check off

456
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 2: every training run and you just do it week to

457
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: week to week to week for five months and you

458
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 2: trust the training and it works. And so I've got

459
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 2: five marathons under my belt now, and everyone's different based

460
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 2: on the weather and the course. And I've had good

461
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 2: ones and tough ones and fun ones, but it's challenging

462
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 2: every single time.

463
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: The motivation from Julie's question there for me is now

464
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: just it's just a part of my life. I'm a runner,

465
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: and so my motivation now is yes, I guess health,

466
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: but I'm just in it.

467
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 2: You become a runner, you become get kind of addicted

468
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 2: to it.

469
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: It don't there's nothing else I got. I mean ten

470
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: pairs of Nike Alpha Flies in my closet right now, yep,

471
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: that I use every single pair. I mean, it just

472
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: becomes a part and on. Once you get that bug,

473
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: you do not need motivation. You do not need anybody

474
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: to tell you to get up. I mean it's thirty

475
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: degree mornings. We have gotten up before and run. We've

476
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,479
Speaker 1: had things to do during the day and say, well,

477
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: we got to get the run in, and we're up

478
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: at three am to knock the run out, so we

479
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 1: can go do something else during the day with schedule wise,

480
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 1: that's just how it goes the training. Yes, the hall

481
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: HIGGN diet is the other thing she asked about with you.

482
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's always a tough one for me because

483
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 2: I don't really like to do carbs, but it's kind

484
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 2: of a must.

485
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 4: And so it's kind of fun.

486
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 2: I eat things I wouldn't normally eat because I'm training,

487
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 2: and you always make fun of me. You're like, oh,

488
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 2: don't let me guess you'll have it because you're training,

489
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 2: Like French fries, probably shouldn't eat.

490
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: It's a total excuse. Yes, I will start with the

491
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: double cheeseburger, man, now the slab of ribs for my main.

492
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: Thank you, it's okay, I'm training.

493
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 2: That is to me, that is one of the biggest

494
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: benefits of running or training for marathon, as you get

495
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 2: to eat all this stuff you would normally not eat.

496
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: I'm not advocated eating bad things like French fries, but

497
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 2: it's it's fun.

498
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: Use an excuse. It's tougher for me because I usually

499
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: I don't eat a lot of meat, and I usually

500
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: don't eat meat, so it's tough when you were doing fourteen, sixteen,

501
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: eighteen twenty mile training runs. You need some carbs and

502
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: you need some protein. So I have to change my

503
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: diet a little bit. Well I did this time. First

504
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: time I didn't, and I think I struggled a little bit.

505
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: But this time I got some protein in me and whatnot.

506
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, you just got to keep your carbs up

507
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: and keep your energy.

508
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 3: Yet, truly asks will amy convert back to being a

509
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 3: Razorbacks fan?

510
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: Ah say back.

511
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 2: To yep, Well I was never Yeah, so Georgia Bulldogs

512
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,479
Speaker 2: will always be my number one. I can't not say that.

513
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 2: But I will always root now for the Razorbacks if

514
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 2: they're not playing Georgia, how about that? How about you

515
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 2: can we reverse that?

516
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: There's no you know what, this just happened. Just happened

517
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: on our way here, I said, I need something to

518
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: put my red bull land to come here at our place.

519
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: Open the cabinet and looking down looking for a cup,

520
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: pull pull it out there about to put it in.

521
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: I turn it around, it says Georgia on it. I

522
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: said nope, and I put it back. I put the

523
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: cup back, and I refuse to even drink my red

524
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: bull out of a Georgia Bulldogs.

525
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 2: Why is that?

526
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: Because I'm a razorback? Would you to go home?

527
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: Would you root for the Bulldogs?

528
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,959
Speaker 1: I root for you, I root for making you happy.

529
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 2: You were also rooting for Alabama.

530
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: Well, I had reasons for that, as I'm still with you.

531
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: Well as a football fan. No, no, no, no, as a

532
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: football fan, we shouldn't get into them. But I still

533
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: think Georgia should be in the top four.

534
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, by the way, yeah they should, but I three, I.

535
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: Think Alabama should as well. But I think it made

536
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: it more interesting to have Alabama.

537
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 2: When they got Your interest was my devastation.

538
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: But you know I did not make fun. I did

539
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: not choke issue because I know how this goes to

540
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: lose a game and we sell Alabama. And we sat

541
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,239
Speaker 1: and we watched that game together, and I was as

542
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 1: supportive as I could be.

543
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 2: You did stay quiet.

544
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: That's support, Andy.

545
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 4: Sometimes silence is support.

546
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 3: Silence is golden amy. Deborah asks, how did breast cancer

547
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 3: change your life for the better?

548
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Deborah, In every single way, I I

549
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 2: think it actually prepared me for this past year, because

550
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: I think until it happens to you, or until someone

551
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: close to you goes through something serious where death is

552
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 2: on the table, it's that watershed moment where you realize

553
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 2: that tomorrow is not a given and all we have

554
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 2: is right now, and when you start to actually fear

555
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: for your life in a real way, you start realizing

556
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 2: that we'll do that in five years, we'll do that

557
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: in ten years, like that's just a pipe dream. And

558
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 2: I actually really didn't even let myself plan a future

559
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 2: or think about a future, and that's a good thing.

560
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 2: You start living your life the way you envisioned it,

561
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 2: and you don't apologize time is the greatest commodity. So

562
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 2: I learned to say no in a way that I

563
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 2: hadn't before. I learned to prioritize who I spent time with,

564
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 2: how I spent my time, and what I wanted to accomplish.

565
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: And I stopped letting my job define me. And that

566
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 2: was a huge part of my transition in I used

567
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: to brag about not taking my vacation days. I thought

568
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 2: that was something to be proud of. I left two

569
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 2: weeks on the table. I only took five days. What

570
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 2: an idiot was I? You know, like no job. Like

571
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 2: when you're on your deathbed, You're not gonna say, man,

572
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 2: I wish I would have worked more. You're never gonna

573
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 2: say that. You're gonna say I wish I would have

574
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 2: loved more. I would have laughed more. I would have

575
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 2: traveled more. I would have taken my time as what

576
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: it actually is, a gift, And so yes, it changed.

577
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 2: It reprioritized my entire life, and it forced me to

578
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: put the people I wanted to spend time with first

579
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: and foremost, and for that I am grateful. It was

580
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 2: a gift. It still continues to be a gift, and

581
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 2: it guides me every day.

582
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 3: And and Christa asks, how are your relationship with each

583
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 3: other's kids.

584
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 2: Evolving? Is what I would say. And we had relationships

585
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 2: with each other's kids when we were just friends. And

586
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 2: so as tough as it's been for so many people

587
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 2: in our lives, it's the most difficult for them because

588
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 2: now they're having to look at us in a different

589
00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 2: way with one another, and we are. We have been

590
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 2: very thoughtful, and we've taken things very slowly and we're

591
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 2: being very patient. But things are good. They're peaceful and

592
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,959
Speaker 2: we want to continue to build on that.

593
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: And again, my little one here, Sabine is ten years old.

594
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: She's known Robot since she was one. Yeah, literally since

595
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: she was one, and now she's knowing roboc in a

596
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: different way, in a different role. But it's been the greatest.

597
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: And again they are Sabine again. All that's Sabine always, guys,

598
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: She's ten years old and always are just open. Roboq

599
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: is here, We're hanging in. Do you want to do this?

600
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 2: Hey?

601
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: Robot is da da da. And lately the past few

602
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: months she is volunteered. She's like, oh, Robot is there?

603
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: Can I come by? Oh? You and Robot are doing

604
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: what can I get a piece of that? Oh? Y'all

605
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: going to see a horror movie? I'm in like voluntarily,

606
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: Like this is her having a desire to do these things.

607
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: And I have never ever, she has never hung out

608
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: with us without absolutely giving the okay or in most

609
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: cases now requesting. Now it's like, really we owe some

610
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: private time. I'm kidding.

611
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 4: Like last night she popped in. It was so fun.

612
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: God, she popped in last night and we just ended up.

613
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 2: On she was reading our horoscopes and we were just

614
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 2: cutting up.

615
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 4: So she's so.

616
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sabin is absolutely great and she is doing is

617
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm so proud to see her these days and how

618
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: she's doing, and how she's mature and how she handles

619
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: so many things. But she is. Uh, it's really really

620
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: been I think you would agree. One of the most

621
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: touching things here recently is to see how she's doing

622
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: and how she wants to be a part and included

623
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: and enjoys the time with us. So she's great.

624
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 3: And Anna asks, if you could give yourself advice or

625
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 3: tell yourself something from one year ago, what would it be?

626
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: Watch out for that Roebuck. No, that is all I

627
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: get this question every once in a while over the years.

628
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: It's hard. I always would say that it is so

629
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: difficult to think that I would give myself advice going

630
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: back to something, because that would exchange, that would change

631
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: the experience of my life. And there were so many

632
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: things I needed to figure out I needed to learn

633
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: on my own. I didn't need a warning necessarily about

634
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: I had to actually go through it to get to

635
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: where I am. So I'm as I sit here still

636
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: in all those things, we say, oh, maybe we should

637
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: have done this, Maybe we should have done that. It

638
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: is so hard to sit here, happy and healthy and

639
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: think I wish something in my life would have been different,

640
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: like you never ever and I am sorry for it.

641
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: That There's no time in my life that I ever

642
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: wanted to do harm to somebody, that I wanted to

643
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: hurt somebody, but I have, and I've hurt people who

644
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: I love, who are family members, And I have said

645
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: plenty of I'm sorries in life, and I think everybody

646
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: has that experience. But short of that, you just have

647
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: to go through it. And I don't want to warn

648
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: seventeen year old TJ not to do this, because then

649
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: he might have been a little too cautious and might

650
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: not have done this, and might just it's hard to

651
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: say that I would tell myself a heads up or

652
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: a warning or anything like that.

653
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 2: Humility is hard earned. Oftentimes it's through the tough times

654
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 2: that you learn that, and it's an important lesson, probably

655
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 2: one of the most important lessons you learn in life.

656
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 2: But I think if I had to say anything to

657
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 2: myself a year ago, I just would have said to

658
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 2: I would have reminded myself there's more love than hate,

659
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 2: there's more support than discord, and there were times when

660
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 2: you saw the headlines or you felt this I like

661
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 2: to call it the vocal minority, and you start to

662
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 2: feel the pressure that everyone is thinking this, everyone is

663
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 2: saying these things, and I just would have wanted to

664
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 2: remind myself there is more love than hate, there is

665
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 2: more support than not. There were moments when I didn't

666
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 2: believe that, and I know that's true now. I would

667
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 2: have liked to have reminded myself that.

668
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 3: A year later, Bianca asks, what are your next professional goals?

669
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 3: And do you have any New Year's resolutions?

670
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: No, on the resolutions, I'm not a fan of those,

671
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: so I'd never make them. Because if I want to

672
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: do something different and want to change life, let's do

673
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 1: it on December fifteenth. Why don't I need to wait?

674
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,280
Speaker 1: That's just my mindset of it. We have this arbitrary

675
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: day like, oh, now I'm going to make changes, and

676
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: I just I have never been a fan. I don't

677
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: knock anybody else else for that, but absolutely don't have

678
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: any resolutions. As far as what was it professional professional goals?

679
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: Professional goals to have not just a hit but an

680
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: all time hit podcast? How about that? Andy? That is

681
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: what the goal is at this point. This is a

682
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: new venture or new medium, and we are loving it.

683
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: And so this is where we start now. Television is

684
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: what we know and what we do what we used to.

685
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 1: But it would be very hard to go back, especially

686
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: from this now from a podcast and go into a

687
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: more scripted scenario, to go into something. Well, you can

688
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 1: do this, but you can't do this. You could say this,

689
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: but you can't say that. You could say this much,

690
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: but you can't say that. It'd be hard to do.

691
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: So right now, I'm loving what we are.

692
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, my professional goal is to continue to be able well,

693
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 2: to be able to pay my bills broadcasting with the

694
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 2: person I have the most fun with professionally, which is you,

695
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 2: by the way, And yeah, to pay my bills. I

696
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 2: want to be able to do this for a living

697
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: and not have to worry about anything else and that

698
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 2: so that would be having a hit podcast.

699
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 4: So I guess we're on the same page. That's a

700
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 4: good thing, are we though?

701
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was your professional goal not to go broke.

702
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 2: I think that's an honest goal, right, but to do

703
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 2: it with a person who I love doing it with.

704
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 2: I think that was also during all of this time

705
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 2: this year where we didn't have a job. We were

706
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 2: together NonStop, but we actually still study to each other.

707
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 2: I miss working with you. I miss that we sparred

708
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 2: a lot, but just just the challenge.

709
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 4: Just the verbal sparring.

710
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 2: We had fun with that. Yeah, I missed some of

711
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 2: that banter. I missed being getting prepared for things and

712
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 2: going places and covering amazing world events with you, all

713
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 2: of that. So anyway, I hope that we can try

714
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 2: to do more of that together. I wouldn't have nearly

715
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 2: as much fun or feel nearly as much satisfaction doing

716
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 2: something alone. I think once I've realized how fun it

717
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 2: is to have that dynamic and that chemistry, I don't

718
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 2: really want to do anything on my aunuman. I will

719
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 2: if I have to, but that's my goal to stay

720
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 2: with him and to pay my bills. Yeah, and in

721
00:36:55,320 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 2: terms of Newer's resolutions, sometimes I make them. I haven't

722
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 2: thought of what mine is for this year. I think

723
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 2: it's just continuing to to be a better person. I

724
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 2: think for me it's more internal.

725
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: I just want to can you start that today? I mean,

726
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: why do you have to wait January one?

727
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 2: It's just maybe like a it's just like a mark

728
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 2: in the calendar just like a reset basically, so you

729
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 2: can be.

730
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 1: A jerk from now until the end of the year.

731
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: But January one, No.

732
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 2: It's just a reminder that you know. I think you

733
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 2: said this actually in the last podcast, and I've tried

734
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 2: to live this for the last several years. But zero judgment.

735
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 2: I don't want to sit on any throne and cast

736
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 2: judgment on how anyone else lives their lives. And I've

737
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 2: been doing that, but I sometimes I think it's just

738
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 2: nice to have a reminder January one, this is who

739
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 2: I am, This is who I'm going to be, This

740
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 2: is how I'm going to live.

741
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: Wait cast judguently anybody else is what do you want to.

742
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 2: Gossip and talk crap about people?

743
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 4: All that is. It's such an easy.

744
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 2: Reflex because it makes you feel better about whatever you've done.

745
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,919
Speaker 2: I think when you make a decision, I'm not going

746
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,959
Speaker 2: to partake or do that anymore. And I'm definitely there,

747
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 2: and I will remind myself on January one this is

748
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 2: who I am and how I'm gonna live. But I'm

749
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 2: doing it now.

750
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna remind you tomorrow.

751
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Debbie asks, would you guys get a

752
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 3: tattoo for each other.

753
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: How do you know we haven't already, Debbie. We'll leave

754
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: it at that. Got a tattoo. That's more of a

755
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: commitment than a marriage. Should we just tell everybody we

756
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: got tattoos, we're married, and we live together.

757
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 2: Those are his New Year's resolutions. Actually, he didn't want

758
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 2: to say it. But back to the last question.

759
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:56,919
Speaker 1: All right.

760
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 3: The last question comes from Grace. She asks, did you

761
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 3: guys have any reservations about working together again?

762
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 2: No? None, whatsoever.

763
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: No, it was the goal, right, It was actually the goal.

764
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: And we even formed partnerships together where our agency together,

765
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: and part of it was to to make sure they

766
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: were looking for opportunities for the two of us. Look,

767
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: there will be some individual opportunities as well, but this

768
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 1: is great. We do love working together and.

769
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 2: Hopefully we can do it for a long long time.

770
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: Okay, that's an inside joke. But oh my god, I

771
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: got I got it from a I think I got

772
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: it from a Family Guy episode. But I say this

773
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: to her all the time. Chris Griffin said, if anybody

774
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 1: watch this Family Guy he had he was dating this

775
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: girl and she was out of his league, and she

776
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:52,880
