WEBVTT - Running Mates 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:05.359 Wine Down with Janet Kramer and I heard radio podcast. 0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:09.720 I'm so nervous to always start because you always messed 0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:11.960 up with do we should we have like a professional 0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:15.480 start or should we just say hey, guys, like to 0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:18.919 do I mean? Or maybe this is our thing? Maybe 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:21.720 this is our start? Every time is an awkward start. Hey, guys, 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.160 welcome to another episode of Wine Down with Jana and Mike. 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:29.880 I'm your host, Mike, and we're New York Times bestseller. 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:38.240 Oh my good man, what insane? You guys? We are floored. 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.480 We don't even really have the words. When we found 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.760 out the other day, Mike and I were just like, 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.320 we went to dinner and we're like, wait what what? 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:53.920 Like I would have never imagined no, never like. So 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:56.640 just thank you guys for all your support for just 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.000 you know. I wrote this on Instagram post the other day. 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:05.560 I said it was, um, it was scary because I'm like, 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.520 who are we? Like, we're not authors? Now we are 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.679 and no one can say otherwise, but do you know 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:14.360 what I mean? Now, I'm like, I'm afraid it's not 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:18.000 going to be enough because we're not like a you know, 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.600 Glenn and Doyle or Emily Giffen the people that I 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.080 look up to as authors. I'm like, what if we 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:25.280 people are like they suck? And you know, so I 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.040 was so afraid that. I mean, I know, you're an 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.800 amazing writer and I always encouraged you, but it was 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.200 just scary. I'm like, you know, who are we to 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.000 like put out a book? And so I was scared 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.400 of the rejection. But I feel like, you know, yes, 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.240 it's amazing that we got the title of New York 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.920 Times bestseller, but I feel like the win and the 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:47.080 victory has been from all the dams and comments that 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:49.280 we've gotten. Oh yeah, I mean even if we didn't 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.760 get it. Sure, we set out personal goals and we 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.400 put our goals very high and we achieved it, which 0:01:56.440 --> 0:02:00.480 was awesome. But that's not what you know dates us. 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.640 That's not what you know encourages us on why this 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.520 is a good thing to do. It's like Jenna said, 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.720 it's all the d m s.

And 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:05.240 then Mike said he have a topic wants to talk 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:20.760 about something. I have no idea what it is, so staging. Okay, 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.159 so we're gonna get to Mike's topic. Um, but we 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.240 just want to tease that we have Iron Zering coming 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.080 on the show, um from Nano too, and oh he's 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.040 got a new show coming out. We're really excited to 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.919 talk to him. But first, Mike, what's the topic you 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:37.480 want to talk about? All right? We don't get political often, 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.839 and we watched the debates their night. People are laughing. 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:45.200 They're like, look, he's too babbling it. It's like, guess, um, 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.320 but what that whole watching the debates just made me 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.840 think of Okay, you know, because every campaign runs on 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:56.520 a certain um several messages, but usually there's one or 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.480 two things that like, this is what they're gonna change. 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.040 They're gonna reduce taxes, they're gonna care about the environment, 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.800 they're gonna whatever. And so my question, we have our 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.520 good friend Catherine Onto that's going to join us because 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:10.960 she loves everything politics, which this topic scares me on 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:15.120 so many levels because I feel like we can't have 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:19.720 opposing um, what's the word, like, we we can't have 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:24.279 different sides without conflict. What do you mean? Well? I 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.799 mean like let's say you're a Republican and I'm a Democrat. 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.640 I feel like we can't say that without getting crap 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.760 or someone's upset or they're angry and they want to 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.200 push and like why would you, you know, vote for 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.120 this person that's stupid or why would you It's like 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.360 we can't have our own Yeah, we can't have our 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.360 different opinions without just and so, but it stinks that 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.120 you can't say who you want to vote for because 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.120 you're gonna get trampled if you do one way or 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.880 the other. I mean, Catherine, she's also my you know, 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.360 our our manager and you know day to day, and 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:03.320 she's like, it's a suicide. Yeah, you really can't do 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.560 it right now. Unfortunately, it's sad. It's very volatile right 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:08.960 now though you get. I mean, it's always been a 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.039 taboo subject, and it's always kind of been one of 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.120 those like be careful if you touch it, because you'll 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.320 piss off half the country. But now, more than ever, 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.560 it's like, oh yeah, like don't touch it, but you 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.120 get for not touching it, excuse my language. That's the 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.760 other thing. If you don't post stuff for certain things, 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:27.960 then you get crap from the other side. So it's 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.120 it's really kind of a lose lose, I feel like 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:31.919 at the end of the day, though, you know, and 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:35.560 this is I've never voted before, but I I am Michael, 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:37.400 and I both registered to vote, and I think the 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.840 most important thing is no matter who you're voting for, 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.800 just vote because your vote does matter. And I'm now 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.719 so excited to vote. I've never been more excited in 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:48.479 my life. Let me ask you a question on that 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.760 before I get on my topic, because I've always been 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:53.760 this is the first dame voting, because this is the 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.000 most I paid attention to it. Right in the past, 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.640 I've chosen not to just out of my own personal interests. 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:03.080 I wasn't interested. And then I always grew up in 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.960 a house where like politics was when the family get 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:10.280 togethers got ugly because like parents and uncles and aunts 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.560 started yelling and talking over each other, and as a kid, 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:14.480 I'm like, I don't want any part of this. So 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.720 I just kind of stayed away from politics. So my 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:22.720 question is, would you rather somebody vote just to vote, 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.640 or if they're uneducated, not through their vote in the ring? 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.200 So good question. Well, just let me just say two things. 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.560 What's interesting on my side growing up, I remember sitting 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.280 at the dinner table with my mom and my dad 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.480 and it was elections, and I was like, who are 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.520 you guys voting for? And they would not tell each 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:44.320 other who they were voting for. So I've never known 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.080 what side my mom or my dad was on. I've 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.360 never known. Is that like in your family too, because 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.880 we didn't talk about politics and religion, Like you don't 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.400 talk about politics and religion. That's what we were how 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.920 we were brought up. Like that's just like those subjects 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.480 you stay away from. So that was oh, that was 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.000 a thing for sure, So it wasn't like still probably 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:07.800 couldn't tell how my parents would vote. It's just it's 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:09.720 just so interesting when you said that, because I'm like, 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.520 we I be like, mom, are you voting for? You 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.240 know what was that? Al Bush or al Gore or 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:17.960 whoever it was? And you know, oh, my dad loved 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:23.920 Ross Parro because he's always the impersonate Ross Parrot um. 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.600 But like that's as far as I knew, you know, 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:30.560 besides my dad like doing impersonations. But um, so to 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:34.640 go to your question, you know, I've seen a lot 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.120 of things going around lately, and again I don't want 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.800 to get political because I think people don't like if 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:46.480 we go political. But they say, even the Democrats will say, 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:50.480 or they've said, and again I'm not saying which side 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:54.560 I'm on, but they have said that don't vote for 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:59.400 the candidate, vote for the issues. So well, which is 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.520 which is why that's a that's a principle that goes back, 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.880 you know, decades and hundreds of years really because that's 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.880 why people identify as one or the other, because even 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.160 if they don't like the candidate, you know, it's either 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.640 the lesser two evils or even probably four years ago 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:18.800 when Trump and Hillary both of them seemed like terrible candidates, 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:22.120 so they so both Democrats probably voted for Hillary and 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.080 Republicans probably voted for Trump. So I think to answer 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.360 your question, I think people like, if they have, you know, 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.400 if they feel strongly about this way, they're going to 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:35.000 vote Democrat regardless of the candidate. But if they don't know, 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.640 that's that's what I'm saying. But I feel like I 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.679 feel like they might know enough. But again, I don't 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.760 know why I never did. Maybe I didn't feel like. 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.120 I don't think I felt like my vote counted. I 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:48.040 don't know, cat, what do you think. I think it's hard. 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.960 I think I would rather to answer your question, I 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:57.280 think I would rather people vote UM because I think 0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.800 it kind of takes away your ability to and I 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.040 there's been several years I haven't times I haven't voted, 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:03.839 but I kind of kind of gives it takes away 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.360 your ability to bitch about everything, you know. I mean 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.480 it kind of like if you didn't cast your vote, 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:13.000 you kind of can't complain kind of um. But the 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.240 whole voting for the issue versus I think a lot 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:16.880 of times it's like when you're more in the middle, 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.880 then you're kind of voting for candidate. But if you're 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.839 a Democrat, you're voting democrat. If you're a Republican, you're 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.480 voting Republican. It doesn't matter whether you like the candidate 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.080 or not. And can we just be nice about it? Like, 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:32.720 can we not just cast our own? I mean, but 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.079 I guess that is why you don't talk about it. 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.280 I don't know, but why why can't we have a 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.760 healthy debate? And honestly, I was so disappointed that debate 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:44.400 because I wanted to understand both sides. I truly was like, like, 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:48.360 sway me one way or the other, you know, and 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:52.400 I couldn't hear anything. It is terrible debate, but it's 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.280 entertaining television for the thirty minutes that we watched it, 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.280 and we're like, we can't take this anymore. Shut up, man, 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.560 Come on, men, just shut up man, I will say 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.760 when I've asked this question before. You know, people, I 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.640 remember my grandfather asked him me years ago, why why 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:13.320 did you vote Mike? So when I'm on Educi, I 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.360 couldn't tell you because he was in he was a 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.360 marine marine. Yeah, So I'm just curiously. I don't know. 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:22.480 I have to ask him, um, but you know, i'd say, well, 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.120 I'm educated, so I don't want to just vote just 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.640 a vote, and you called me out a little bit. 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:29.880 He was like, well, it's your kind of civil duty 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.440 to be educated as a citizen of this country. I 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:37.080 was like, touche, fair enough, you know. So I still 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.600 didn't vote after that, I didn't educate myself sagrams. But 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:41.960 now I'm taking more of an interest to it, I 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.840 think to having kids and finally growing up a little bit, 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:50.040 I guess I'll say start listening to politics. But back 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:51.959 to my original topping question, I will just say, though, 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:56.640 to end to end that little thing, just vote and 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:00.280 you that is I'm super excited, And I like such 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.400 a hypocrite for saying that since I've never voted before, 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:06.960 but I'm so excited to register vote and be nice everyone. 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.960 Watch out for Jan's Instagram post. I'm so excited. I've 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.320 never done able to do that, to have the sticker 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:17.240 and like say I voted. Anyways, So the topic is, 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.760 if you were a presidential candidate, what would be your 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:26.360 UM platform issue? Like, what would be that thing that 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.560 you stand behind the most that's like you're just driving 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:34.920 home day after day. So can I just have a 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.400 SCOREL moment for a second. Sure. This brings me back 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.920 to middle school because I ran for president and I 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.480 was like, I remember the drawing, I remember the big 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.679 poster board, and I was like, We're going to get 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:49.440 a swimming pool in our cafeteria and we all get 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:53.079 fretty ice cream and pizza every day. Um. I didn't win, 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:58.080 sadly because we couldn't get a swimming pool in the cafeteria. 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:03.040 But it reminds me of that. Um, I have to 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:07.240 think about that. You you're start with mine, I do 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:12.520 okay for me, just my personal interests and belief would 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:17.120 be especially after the way would be all around schools, 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:21.560 so you know, finding funding for teachers salaries so we 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:24.160 can get the best teachers, so we can get encourage 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:27.520 more teachers to work somewhere, so you know, schools can 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.760 have the resources they need from the schools and the 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:33.120 suburbs to the inner city schools, just we can supply 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.400 them with what they need with teachers. While you're doing 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:37.520 this right now, you have like the presidential like you 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:43.120 got them minds like the hand, the back, the back 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.120 hand to the Palm America is really going to trust 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:51.120 you get it done. Um, so yeah, that would be 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.640 my thing. It's just like security around schools because of 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.800 school shooting stuff in the past, would be having teachers 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.960 being able to pay them. So we encourage more young 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:01.520 people to become to teers. So it's like a career 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.319 that people. You know this, A lot of teachers want 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.080 to become teachers, but we encourage even more to become 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.120 teachers because financially it's beneficial and it should be as 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.200 we all we've all learned, we all have a greater 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:16.520 appreciation for teachers after So mine would be based all 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.120 around schools in our future. I like that since our 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.160 kids are a future. Katherine, do you have a debate 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:23.040 to that or would you like to add your own. 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.840 I like that one. I would have said years ago, 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.960 health insurance or health care. Um, not going to like 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.000 the whole thing, but I just don't feel like we've 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.360 gotten there at all. I don't know what the answer 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:40.080 is exactly, but something with health care. But now it 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:46.080 would definitely be the sex trafficking, hands down good one 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:50.280 that the top now he has a debt. Both those 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.680 do involve the kids. I'm gonna have to. I'm going 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:54.080 to be in the middle here, and I'm gonna say 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.520 both of those, can I steal both of those? That's 0:14:56.560 --> 0:15:01.680 not fun? World Peace are either independent party in this? 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:05.240 I am I feel so independent anyways. No, I mean, 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:11.840 but because those I mean sex trafficking, that's that's insanely problematic. Yes, 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:15.960 so obviously with schools too. UM, I would honestly say, 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.080 I will say this, if there was a way to 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:27.000 clean up like California, there was homeless people and um 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.800 needles and everywhere in Studio City. So if there's a 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:34.120 way to somehow clean that up a little, some kind 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:37.240 of programs which there, then there might be. But if so, 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.360 let's put some more money into it or to just 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.240 help or how we can help homeless people maybe get 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:44.800 on their feet, Like I know in Nashville we do 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:48.800 the homeless UM paper and so you don't see as 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.200 many homeless people. It's growing a little bit more Nashville 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.880 right now. But UM, just being able to um not 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.680 enable but help them. You know what sucks about that? 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.440 That's one of those issues that no matter which way 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:04.800 you swing it, you're gonna get backlash because uh, because 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.280 people are going to complain number one, that there's a 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.640 homeless problem or that there's you know people in the 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:11.840 valley like where we live. They're like, oh, there's homeless everywhere. 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:13.840 But then they're gonna start doing these programs and they're 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:15.640 gonna be like, this is where tax dollars are. They 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.600 had their chance, they failed in society. Why are we 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.480 gonna spend our tax dollars and put these programs and 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.320 do this housing for the homeless. And so that's what 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:25.680 I'm saying. It's just one of those topics which unfortunately 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:29.200 people are going to complain no matter which way. So 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:31.440 then instead, I mean the underpass where we used to 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:35.200 live in California, there's now they put they gave them 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:40.160 for um bathrooms, And I mean there's just the entire 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:41.880 I mean the entire place is just like and then 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.040 across the streem like I don't joually walking across the 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:48.320 street into this Like it's I totally get your side, 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.400 but there's got to be something. No, I agree with you. 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.160 I'm just saying that's what it's gonna happen. But if 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.960 you offered them all jobs, would they take them? I 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:58.040 bet you probably half wouldn't. It's like When we offered 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.720 the kind bars, They're like, I can't eat that, And 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.520 I'm like, what're living on the streets you don't want 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:08.639 I have. I have a box of kind bars them. 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.000 So I mean to answer your question, I don't know. 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.200 That's the hard I don't know how you Yeah, those 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:16.879 bars don't agree with my palette. I'm going to pass. 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:22.639 I was just like, what only in West Hollywood? A 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:27.359 good question though, what about Easton? Yeah? Easton would what 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:32.280 would you do? Marvel movies free for everyone? You know, 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:35.360 Janet when you were saying, like, I ran for president 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:39.800 too in junior high school, and I like, I looked 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.240 up what you actually have power to do as like 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:44.280 a student body president, and it was like and I 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:47.520 told him, I'm like, I'll make the rallies more engaging. 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.720 I'll try to keep him brief, not much more I 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:52.760 can do other than that. And then my opponents like, 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.440 we're getting ice cream for lunch every day and I'm 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.000 canceling school on Fridays. And he won the election, and 0:17:58.040 --> 0:17:59.639 I was like, he can't do any of that stuff. 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:02.320 And it was actually a pretty good lesson in how 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:06.200 politics work, because that's that's who ended up waiting but um, 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:10.199 if if I were running for president, uh in general, UM, 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:13.800 I mean I would like to see some of our 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:17.600 budget be directed maybe, you know, away from national defense 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:19.840 and more towards uh. You know, we can get rid 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.720 of those student loans that are making everybody crippled. We 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.600 can brief up our health care. But there's a lot 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:27.280 of problems we have in this country that could be 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.520 fixed with a lot of money, and that money is available. 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:31.760 So that's something I would like to that I would 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.919 try to influence. Uh. And of course I screamed for 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:40.280 everybody and canceled school on Fridays. That's what I would do. Yeah, 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:44.280 I love it. All Right, that was a great topic. 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:51.160 And again, let's all just just be kind to each other. Uh. 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.880 Let's take a break, and then Iron Zering is going 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:55.679 to join the show. I'm excited to talk to him. 0:18:56.000 --> 0:19:12.040 I can't wait all nine o two. And now you 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:17.720 have the loudest swallow swallow. What are we talking about here? 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:22.000 My husband's swallows so heavy into the microphone that I'm 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.960 just like, it's just like he even tries to back away, 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:27.280 but it's just she's at that point. I could drink 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:28.879 water right now. She'd be like, I hate how you 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.480 drink water. Oh no, it's just like you're you're like, 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:35.760 you're swallow is just so loud.

You and me both we have 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:48.840 the whole new thing of worms to open up with 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.520 our therapists. Now, I mean, seriously, I mean, how many 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.440 do you do you get annoyed that how many times 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:58.120 people probably call you Ian? You know, what's happening less 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:02.240 and less as I get older, I'm changing the norm, 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:05.160 Like everybody knows who you are. But it's like, can 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:06.880 you because I mean people even will be like they'll 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:09.399 call me Jana and I'm like, it's Janna, But that's fine, Like, 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:12.600 since you can call me whenever you want, that's fine. 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:16.639 You know, I am what my mom named me, you know, 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:21.800 and Janna Jana. You know you are what your mom 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:24.080 named you so exactly in your eye. And I'm not 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:26.840 just just to ask to be called what you were named, right, 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:29.720 you know? People always so stuck up. Well, listen, idiot, 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:31.919 my name is not in it's I. That's when my 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:34.840 mom called me, My friends and family called me. You 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:36.600 can call me whatever you want. I've been called a 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.080 lot worse than me in I don't care. I passed 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.879 over it right, take it up with mom if you 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.880 have an issue seriously. Um, well, if you guys don't 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.960 recognize that voice and you can't see his face like weekend, 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:50.960 fortunately that's Mr Iron's earring, the one and only. So 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:55.359 welcome to the show. Thanks for coming on, man, thanks 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:57.800 for having me. It was so nice to h get 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:01.680 a glimpse into the Mary dynamic between you two before 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:04.720 I signed on it. It's what you're missing, you know, 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:06.840 Like you're like, oh, thank god, this is why. This 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:13.080 is why I got divorced. Like, um, similar situation, different reasons. 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:18.560 But you know what, marriage is difficult, you know, but 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:22.240 at the end of the day, the work is can 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:25.080 be challenging, but it should feel like working in a garden, 0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:29.480 not necessarily schlepping boxes of fifty flights of stairs. And 0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:32.359 at the end of the night you can agree to disagree, 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:34.320 but you know in your heart you've got the right 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:36.360 person if they're the one you want to wake up 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:39.240 next to the next morning. So that's what it takes. 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:41.639 I mean, it's it's so true. And because you were 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:44.360 married for how long, I mean a long time, right 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:48.160 about nine and a half years before we filed. Yeah, 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:51.080 and I just I don't know, it's it's just, I 0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:53.760 mean we always obviously it's a relationship show. We talk 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:57.359 a lot about our relationship, and it's marriage is just work. 0:21:57.440 --> 0:22:00.600 It's hard. Some days you're just like like, would I 0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:03.199
