Speaker 1: Hell, I Suck at Dating with Denungler and Jared Haven
Speaker 1: and I Heart Radio podcast What is Up? Suck Army,
Speaker 1: We are still coming at you, even in the midst
Speaker 1: of this quarantine. I hope you can hear me all right,
Speaker 1: because I'm recording from Kalin's apartment here in Santa Monica, Jared, Torry,
Speaker 1: and Easton all from their respective locations as well. Are
Speaker 1: you guys there? I am here, I'm here, baby. How
Speaker 1: do I How do I sound? You guys sound good
Speaker 1: to me? But how do I sound? Right? Well? You,
Speaker 1: I didn't hear anything. You just said ki sterous? You
Speaker 1: didn't hear me? Well, it was kind of it was
Speaker 1: kind of choppy, But we're gonna work with it. Anyways.
Speaker 1: We know that our Suck Army can't make it more
Speaker 1: than a week without tuning in to help I Suck
Speaker 1: at Dating and so pushing through and we're fighting on
Speaker 1: and the Army will continue to rise together but separately
Speaker 1: in our isolated quarantine, sterilized zones. Um, We've got a
Speaker 1: good episode for you guys. Today. We're gonna call some
Speaker 1: of our friends around Bachelor Nation, checking with them and
Speaker 1: see how they're handling the quarantine. How they're staying busy
Speaker 1: and what advice they can offer you to kind of
Speaker 1: pass the time while all this, you know, goes about
Speaker 1: dealing with whatever it's going to deal with before we
Speaker 1: can resume our lives as normal. But Jared, how are
Speaker 1: you doing? You're good? Yeah, I'm doing all right. Ashley
Speaker 1: and I are hungering down. Obviously we've been quarantined for
Speaker 1: a little of our week now, and you know, things
Speaker 1: are good. I mean, it's just crazy times right now.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a time that we're never going
Speaker 1: to forget. It's gonna be written in history books. I
Speaker 1: mean it's insane to truly think that we're voluntarily, um
Speaker 1: crashing our economy for this. And it's the right move obviously,
Speaker 1: because the health of the public comes first. But um,
Speaker 1: it's it's nerve wracking times. Um, it's it's scary times.
Speaker 1: But also, um, you know, I do think that we're
Speaker 1: taking the necessary steps. Uh and hopefully, uh in the
Speaker 1: coming weeks we'll see that that that cases will start
Speaker 1: going down. I mean, I do think it's going to
Speaker 1: get worse before it gets better, like everybody has been saying,
Speaker 1: and I believe that. But hopefully these steps that we're
Speaker 1: taking will start, uh, you know, showing face in the
Speaker 1: coming weeks that we did make a difference and we
Speaker 1: weren't too late. Yeah, that's an interesting thing that we
Speaker 1: said about voluntarily crashing our economy because someone one of
Speaker 1: my friends made that point the other day. They were
Speaker 1: saying that we're staying inside to protect the immuno compromised
Speaker 1: and elderly people, but by doing so, our economy is suffering,
Speaker 1: which will like then in turn make the young people
Speaker 1: suffer a lot more for a lot longer. And I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, it's an interesting point. I guess I
Speaker 1: never really thought of it that way, and I guess
Speaker 1: it's like it's really kind of remains to be seen
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen economically with what's going on. But I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's crazy. You're absolutely right, So what do
Speaker 1: you what do you actually do to pass the time
Speaker 1: in your quarantine? We've been making videos and follow us
Speaker 1: on Instagram and now we just formed a TikTok, which
Speaker 1: I have mixed feelings of out I have a lot
Speaker 1: of ex feelings about TikTok, but I made uh a
Speaker 1: very I've obviously made a couple of tom Brady videos
Speaker 1: because while quarantined, we got the news that Tom Brady
Speaker 1: will no longer be returned to New England Patriots and
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, so that was like a stab
Speaker 1: to the heart. But it's okay, it's okay. So we've
Speaker 1: been making videos, We've been working out, reading, uh, playing
Speaker 1: board games, watching movies. Um, you know, we've been um
Speaker 1: try we've been mixing in cooking at home and then
Speaker 1: ordering um doorstep service from local businesses because we've also
Speaker 1: been trying to eat out and support local restaurants that
Speaker 1: are obviously having difficult times right now. But uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's all we've been really doing. Also, it's
Speaker 1: only been you know, about nine you know, about nine
Speaker 1: days or so nine ten days. And so talk to
Speaker 1: me in a week how we're doing next week's episode.
Speaker 1: Help buy second Day, and we'll determine if I've lost
Speaker 1: my mind or not. Well, we are going to be
Speaker 1: able to talk to you in a week. And it
Speaker 1: does sound like you are lost your mind, but we do.
Speaker 1: You have one of bachel Nation's favorite contestants on the
Speaker 1: phone we can check in with and see how he's
Speaker 1: handling quarantine himself. Uh so we're gonna get Mike Johnson
Speaker 1: brought into the conversation, as we love to hear he's
Speaker 1: been up to well. He I imagine he's been tough
Speaker 1: quarantining as well. So let's if you can get him
Speaker 1: on the phone here. Whoa Mike, what's going on? Big money?
Speaker 1: What's up? Gentlemen? How y'all living? We're doing all right, man,
Speaker 1: We're trying to trying to stay alive. How are you? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can probably guess it, dude. I love watching your
Speaker 1: I g when it comes to town, Brady Man, so
Speaker 1: I want to give him my condolences to you. Much appreciated. Man.
Speaker 1: It was great twenty years. It's just sad that he's
Speaker 1: good Tampa Bay. I don't even get me started. It's
Speaker 1: been a long week discussing Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I can't
Speaker 1: believe I gotta watch that franchise. But anyway, I digress.
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Like? How's the quarantine treating you?
Speaker 1: I'm happy, man, Quarantine is cool for me. I'm naturally
Speaker 1: an introvert, so I'm getting a lot of work done.
Speaker 1: I'm over here. I just had a full on arguing
Speaker 1: with my homies over WhatsApp. In three different countries. You say,
Speaker 1: that's pretty fun, are you about the stupidest thing? We got?
Speaker 1: One is over and um England, and one is in Germany,
Speaker 1: and then you know, I'm over here in the US.
Speaker 1: So we just arguing about sports and everything between. It
Speaker 1: is pretty funny that even though we're all like quarantined
Speaker 1: and isolated, it kind of like makes us forces us
Speaker 1: to connect with our friends a little bit more often
Speaker 1: and more deeply deeper. Right, So, like me personally, I've
Speaker 1: been talking to my friends a lot more than I
Speaker 1: would normally, just because everyone else is kind of like
Speaker 1: sitting around not really doing anything, you know what I mean. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: That's why I think this is I'm trying to see
Speaker 1: the positive American you two know me know that, And
Speaker 1: so for me personally, it's a time for us to
Speaker 1: talk to those people that we kind of like not
Speaker 1: giving our attention to. Yeah, I spoke to my grandma
Speaker 1: quite a bit, and you know, getting to learn my
Speaker 1: sister a bit more and things of that nature. So
Speaker 1: not only can we focus on thanks we've been pushing
Speaker 1: to the side, but just building those connections. Playing board
Speaker 1: games with people, you know, that's really fun to do.
Speaker 1: It's something that as we, you know, become young, as
Speaker 1: we've become young adults too, like full on adults like
Speaker 1: three uless, you kind of forget how how much fun
Speaker 1: you can have with someone without like drinking obnoxially all
Speaker 1: the time and going out. So, Mike, have you been
Speaker 1: doing anything innovative like to try to keep yourself busy
Speaker 1: past the time? Have you been doing anything differently but
Speaker 1: like you said, with friends, like, for example, our very
Speaker 1: own Tanya, Tanya Rat. She set up her dining room
Speaker 1: table as if it was a restaurant. She had menus
Speaker 1: and candles, She got all dressed up by herself, She
Speaker 1: set up flowers. She kind of made a night of herself.
Speaker 1: Have you been doing anything like that, something out of
Speaker 1: the box? Well, damn all right, that's what you know
Speaker 1: what you just said. That's like having the greatest speaker
Speaker 1: of all time go on stage and then you have
Speaker 1: to go on after that. I have not done nothing.
Speaker 1: Really amazing is that I would have been mepping, you know.
Speaker 1: The amazing is that I've just been playing grab bads,
Speaker 1: watching Netflix. Netflix movie you've watched lately? Have you guys
Speaker 1: seen Days It's a little Dicky's new TV showing here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my guy episode three, I just died. I just I
Speaker 1: was just hope fun. Everyone should check that out. I
Speaker 1: was watching Don't Cats. I know I'm kind of late
Speaker 1: to the game, but that's crazy. I think today I'm
Speaker 1: gonna watch that that Tiger one everyone talking about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we can started that on this morning to Caitlin and I.
Speaker 1: It's it's pretty weird. There's a lot of I don't know,
Speaker 1: I heard it gets weirder and weirder too. I like
Speaker 1: posted something and someone's like, you gotta watch that documentary.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of what we've been doing too. It's
Speaker 1: a lot of documentaries and like podcasts and stuff like that. Nice, same, same.
Speaker 1: I just finished writing my book, so that's pretty dope.
Speaker 1: That the book. Yeah, I've been writing it, but you know,
Speaker 1: I finished it. What do you say? I'm sorry, Dean,
Speaker 1: So let's tell us some more about that, because I
Speaker 1: think you and I have talked about it a little bit,
Speaker 1: but I want to hear more for whatever you feel
Speaker 1: comfortable sharing, obviously for the listeners, but no, definitely, so
Speaker 1: bro u Let's it's a book about, you know, how
Speaker 1: to be authentic to who you are and focusing on
Speaker 1: self intimacy so you could be the best person that
Speaker 1: you can never be, and how to obtain your freedom
Speaker 1: and joy. Okay, so is it written from like personal
Speaker 1: experiences or what do you kind of draw off from
Speaker 1: It's written well, to be honest, I you know, off
Speaker 1: the shows, we get a lot of messages and I'll
Speaker 1: started reading my dms that people would you know, I say,
Speaker 1: I'm going through this, I'm going through that, and it
Speaker 1: was I was taking like deep thought into responding to them,
Speaker 1: and it kind of just after responding so many times,
Speaker 1: it just developed and you know, it just turned into
Speaker 1: paper and I wrote a book on it. So there's
Speaker 1: different I have mantras in a book at the end
Speaker 1: of every chapter that you'll have a mantra. I have
Speaker 1: different exercises. You're looking a book multiple ones. I speak
Speaker 1: from stories that are of my own of insecurities I've
Speaker 1: had to overcome, and then I speak from insecurities of
Speaker 1: others and had and those things that they had to
Speaker 1: overcome in our problems. So we talked from anything from
Speaker 1: UH sexual traumas to sexual abuse to UH drugs, overdosing
Speaker 1: on that too, just being a mom and your body changing. Right,
Speaker 1: So I mean we talk on so many different things
Speaker 1: within the book, to having you know, your favorite player,
Speaker 1: you know, leave your franchise. That's amazing, man. Good luck
Speaker 1: with that. So the book is finished. Um, we'll be
Speaker 1: very excited to read the books, So please keep us
Speaker 1: updated about when it's published and when people can get
Speaker 1: their hands on this. But I do have to ask
Speaker 1: you one question before you go, because Mike, Mike Johnson,
Speaker 1: you're recently in the news because there's some dating rumors
Speaker 1: about you and a former Bachelor contestant who was on
Speaker 1: Peter season, Kelly Flannagan. And so give us a Mike,
Speaker 1: what's going on? Are you social distance dating right now
Speaker 1: with Kelly Flinn again? Zero? First thing shake you knows.
Speaker 1: I was just on the phone with the homie last
Speaker 1: Hunter on i G Live. He just asked me, you know,
Speaker 1: like if I was talking to you, are being just
Speaker 1: on i G or whatever, And he asked me a
Speaker 1: question about Kelly, and I just said, I think she
Speaker 1: got some really cute dimples, um, and I think she
Speaker 1: comes from a good family. I think that's pretty much
Speaker 1: all I said. I probably said she was a bad too,
Speaker 1: you know, I talk and that was pretty much it.
Speaker 1: There's nothing going on in regards to that. Well, oh well,
Speaker 1: thank you for the update. Well, we're wishing nothing but
Speaker 1: the best, Mike. And if there's a Bachelor in Paradise
Speaker 1: this upcoming season, uh, you know, if everybody's safe, then
Speaker 1: I would I would love to see you out there
Speaker 1: and then maybe Kelly will be on there too with
Speaker 1: her dimples and who knows what will happen, But I
Speaker 1: wish you nothing but the best, Mike. You're a great guy,
Speaker 1: and stay safe. Okay, I appreciate that. You guys as well,
Speaker 1: we'll see you like how it going and too man,
Speaker 1: Well there you go, and I think that's what we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk. We're gonna have a couple more guests from
Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation call in and share some of their experiences
Speaker 1: during quarantine as well. But I think that's gonna be
Speaker 1: kind of the root of the episode is how our
Speaker 1: friends are staying connected socially during this time that none
Speaker 1: of us have really been forced to endure at any
Speaker 1: point in lives. Because I guess that's interesting to think
Speaker 1: about is none of us have ever experienced anything like
Speaker 1: this before, obviously, and so how are we all handling it? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think, um, uh, you know, I was talking to
Speaker 1: my parents, and the other thing they can really really
Speaker 1: relate this time too, was back towards nine eleven. Obviously
Speaker 1: a different a different circumstance, but in terms of you know,
Speaker 1: the country and just shutting down, you know, back then
Speaker 1: after nine eleven, really the country shut down for you know,
Speaker 1: a week, and it was just nothing was happening, and
Speaker 1: and uh, and now here we are going through the
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen pandemic. I think, Dean and you can probably
Speaker 1: do the best of this because you're such an over
Speaker 1: are all positive and optimistic and wonderful human being and
Speaker 1: always happy that I do think that we do have
Speaker 1: to kind of look at this in a um and
Speaker 1: and try to keep our spirits up because we all
Speaker 1: know that stress and anxiety only you know, damages the
Speaker 1: immune system. That's a scientific fact. And so I don't
Speaker 1: think we can really make decisions based out of fear,
Speaker 1: and we have to try to live our lives the
Speaker 1: best as possible with also, uh, you know, living within
Speaker 1: the rules that the CDC and the w h O
Speaker 1: and the United States government is giving us right now. UM.
Speaker 1: So that's my two cents on it. Deaners how are
Speaker 1: you feeling? I mean, you're you know, I remember talking
Speaker 1: to a couple of weeks about this and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: before everything started going down, and and how are you
Speaker 1: feeling about it now? How are you feeling about everything
Speaker 1: that's going on? Um? Well, I guess just to bring
Speaker 1: it back to your point real quick, to one of
Speaker 1: the things that I think are important to stay and
Speaker 1: happy and like not getting your best and all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, is at least getting outside of a
Speaker 1: little little bit every day, obviously abiding by the regulations
Speaker 1: I've been put in place, you know, stick keep your
Speaker 1: distance from people, but like get some sun exposure at
Speaker 1: the very least. Um. But I've been good man, you know,
Speaker 1: I've just just been hanging out at me and Kaylin. Um.
Speaker 1: I got some poison ivy that tags me pretty bad
Speaker 1: in Oregon. So I've been like scratching and itching and
Speaker 1: and pussing and oh my god, that's so that's honestly
Speaker 1: laws being quarantined with you right now. Just dude, It's
Speaker 1: it's actually works. I'm like, I like, I'm rubbing cortizone
Speaker 1: on my body every hour on the hour. It's just
Speaker 1: like it's so painful, but It's not the first time
Speaker 1: I've had it, but this is definitely like the most.
Speaker 1: It's like covering a good portion of both my legs
Speaker 1: and like my back a little bit and a little
Speaker 1: bit of my arm. So like at this point, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'd rather have coronavirus than be covered in poison out
Speaker 1: Jared having me to ask you, are you trying to
Speaker 1: pick up any new interesting hobbies or interests while you're
Speaker 1: spending so much time self isolating. Uh? Not yet. So
Speaker 1: I actually want to learn how to play piano. So
Speaker 1: We're at Ashley's parents house and there is a piano here,
Speaker 1: so I would love to learn how to play. But
Speaker 1: there's a small problem. And the problem is the piano
Speaker 1: is in the middle of the damn house, and so
Speaker 1: if I play, literally everybody will hear how much I suck,
Speaker 1: so my insecurities come out. So I I choose not
Speaker 1: to play because I know the only way I'm going
Speaker 1: to get better is to play. But I don't want
Speaker 1: to play because I suck right now and everybody's gonna
Speaker 1: hear me. Instead, I'd rather be like in the basement, quarantined,
Speaker 1: buy myself down there, isolated so no one can hear
Speaker 1: about how bad I am when I try to play smooth,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I think, just yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. You wear some headphones that way. Well now
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe you make them all their heads
Speaker 1: so I can't hear how bad I suck. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: might think that you're playing really well. Yeah maybe I'm
Speaker 1: sure the family would be supported, but you know, I
Speaker 1: don't really need to add any more anxiety to their
Speaker 1: life by hearing me play the piano. But other hobbies, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've just been, like you said, trying
Speaker 1: to get some fresh air anytime I can. We take
Speaker 1: the dogs for walks. Um. It was. It's very awkward
Speaker 1: because when I go on a walk, when we pass people,
Speaker 1: it's always that, you know, I go to the furthest
Speaker 1: right i possibly can, and then they'll go to the
Speaker 1: furthest right, and it's like this unspeakable not tension, but
Speaker 1: like you know, you're supposed to stay as far away
Speaker 1: from people as possible, so even walking past someone's like
Speaker 1: all right, let's hurry up, let's go, let's go, let's go,
Speaker 1: and it's just it's, uh, it's weird. Man. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: I'm very uh anxious to like, see what the hell
Speaker 1: is going to happen here for the next month. I
Speaker 1: hate to interrupt, Jared, we don't know what's going to
Speaker 1: happen over the next month, but I do know that
Speaker 1: Katie Morton is on the phone with us and would
Speaker 1: love to share her thoughts of let's get Katie to
Speaker 1: dial in here. Here she is, Katie, what's going on?
Speaker 1: My dude? Hi, what's up? It's our favorite Katie Morton
Speaker 1: co host and welcome back. It's good to have you,
Speaker 1: good to hear your voice. It's good to be back
Speaker 1: in stuck army. Who are starting to get those beanies
Speaker 1: out there? Dean? I know we need to figure that out.
Speaker 1: But Katie, how are you handling this the self isolation
Speaker 1: slash quarantine that we've all been obviously enduring lately. Well, honestly,
Speaker 1: the first week has been feeling almost freakishly normal because
Speaker 1: I think I live alone and I'm with my dog
Speaker 1: all the time, and I essentially work from home, so um,
Speaker 1: it kind of felt normal. But the no human contact
Speaker 1: for me has been a little bit rough because I'm
Speaker 1: such a hugger and I haven't hugged someone in ten dates.
Speaker 1: Which is crazy to think about you and you should
Speaker 1: not be hugging someone for sometime unfortunately unfortunately. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: it's it's weird because human connection and touch is so
Speaker 1: imperative for our mental health, and there's so many people
Speaker 1: out there that are quarantined alone think, God, I have
Speaker 1: my dog. What are you doing to combat that? Um,
Speaker 1: honestly just cuddling with my dog and say I'm face
Speaker 1: timing people, but they say, um, that actual human touch
Speaker 1: is so important. So unluckily for me, I didn't get
Speaker 1: linked up with a pod before or when quarantine was
Speaker 1: going down. I was by myself, um, and kind of
Speaker 1: just have to stick to stay by myself. I have asthma,
Speaker 1: so'm I am one of those groups that can't really
Speaker 1: be messing around out here. No, don't mess around at all.
Speaker 1: No one should be messing around. But I'm just saying, like,
Speaker 1: especially people that I have, like asthma or any pulmary issues.
Speaker 1: It's just like, it's it feels crazy. It's interesting that
Speaker 1: we're in this in death in its space right now.
Speaker 1: And I think I overheard Chaired when I was waiting
Speaker 1: to come on talking about walking the dog. It's it's weird.
Speaker 1: Out there when you're you kind of have a weird
Speaker 1: stared on with someone and you just do this docy
Speaker 1: doll around each other in the streets and just keep walking. Yeah, Kayla,
Speaker 1: And just sent me this video of a owner that
Speaker 1: was walking his dog with his drone. He tied his
Speaker 1: drone to the dog's leash, and I think that's time
Speaker 1: we start walking Pappy. Please do. And then that's the
Speaker 1: only Instagram footage you're allowed to post for the rest
Speaker 1: of the year. I know that's the thing too. It's like,
Speaker 1: what are we supposed to post on Instagram? Just pictures
Speaker 1: of us sitting around her house being boring and lazy.
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, essentially, Yeah, just post pantry photos just
Speaker 1: whoever is that the best pantry or starts thinking of
Speaker 1: different things to post around the house or like create videos. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna just make a TikTok and and
Speaker 1: make fun of every one of you guys is that
Speaker 1: has TikTok dance videos. That's well if that would be
Speaker 1: me being I'm obsessed with TikTok and so yes, please
Speaker 1: come do a duet with me on TikTok. It's like
Speaker 1: basically a little dance battle. I would love for you
Speaker 1: to make a TikTok and do it with me. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think if you understand I wouldn't do it
Speaker 1: with you. I would um, I would mock you. No,
Speaker 1: I get that you could do a duet of my
Speaker 1: video next to your video and you directly mocking me.
Speaker 1: I see, okay, okay, yeah, I'll think. I'm thinking about it,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm slowly warming up to the video
Speaker 1: of making a TikTok Jared. Jared said he made one.
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's most TikTok in general. It's what there's
Speaker 1: different types. You don't have to just do a dance TikTok.
Speaker 1: There's there's other tiktoks. There's artie tiktoks. There's just ones
Speaker 1: with animals. You could do a pappy TikTok. Um you
Speaker 1: could do you could put all of your you know,
Speaker 1: some of the coolest tiktoks are traveled. There are drone
Speaker 1: videos on TikTok. If you go into the depths of TikTok,
Speaker 1: it's a bunch of there's some travel ones out there.
Speaker 1: Being that some of your previous content would be really
Speaker 1: cool on. So it's not all dancing. A lot of
Speaker 1: it's cringey dancing, but there's more to it. I'll think
Speaker 1: about it. I don't know if I'm seeking on the
Speaker 1: dance on TikTok. That's all I want to say. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm too keen on the idea of
Speaker 1: the Chinese government having all my information. But that's okay,
Speaker 1: that's that's neither here nor there. But what else have
Speaker 1: you been doing during the quarantine? How do you besides
Speaker 1: like face timing? Are you binging any shows on Netflix
Speaker 1: or Hulu or anything like that? Um? Yeah, I actually
Speaker 1: restarted Sex in the City. I think it's on it's
Speaker 1: on Prime video. I restarted the Sex in the City series,
Speaker 1: and that show is way ahead of its time. Tell
Speaker 1: us more, what do you mean? I mean it's in't
Speaker 1: it was started and the first episode, the first four episodes,
Speaker 1: they talked about their talking about gay marriage. They're talking about, um,
Speaker 1: it's it's just talking about a lot of things that
Speaker 1: would at that time be considered some taboo topics, and
Speaker 1: they're talking about I think the first first episode is
Speaker 1: talking about women having sex like men and treating it
Speaker 1: like how men treat on like with dating. So it
Speaker 1: was just a really interesting kind of way that I
Speaker 1: went back to Tex in the City was watching. It
Speaker 1: was like people are now talking about this stuff and
Speaker 1: that was so I wonder what the controversy was during
Speaker 1: this time about this show. H interesting. Well, Sex of
Speaker 1: the City we had we had this guy Greg barrent
Speaker 1: On before. He was actually a script consultant for Sex
Speaker 1: in the City and he also uh co authored. He's
Speaker 1: just not that into and the dude is probably one
Speaker 1: of the most fascinating guys I've ever talked to and
Speaker 1: one of the most knowledgeable guys within dating. He should
Speaker 1: really be hosting his podcast, not us, but I digress.
Speaker 1: He uh, he was awesome, and he told me that
Speaker 1: like he was a part of creating bit and that
Speaker 1: character of who Big is, he what he represents for
Speaker 1: all of mankind, the dynamic between Big and Sarah Parker's character,
Speaker 1: like he was involved in all that, and that is
Speaker 1: fascinating to me because as you are watching Sex in
Speaker 1: the City, Dean is definitely not paying attention anymore. But
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by the idea of a big someone's big.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you. I want to ask you,
Speaker 1: k because I talked about this podcast before Ashley says
Speaker 1: I'm not her Big, because she says that her big
Speaker 1: is someone that like tortured her, that like she loved
Speaker 1: so much but just tortured her. And then apparently, even
Speaker 1: though spoiler alert, Sarah Jessica Parker ends up with Big
Speaker 1: at the end of the movie, one of the creators
Speaker 1: of Sex in the City says that's their biggest regret
Speaker 1: is that she should not have ended up with Big.
Speaker 1: So what are your thoughts about Yeah, they said that
Speaker 1: I forgot I can't bring it up and now I
Speaker 1: can't think of it. But one of the creators said
Speaker 1: that they thought was one of the biggest regrets of
Speaker 1: the show and the movies, that she ended up with
Speaker 1: Big when she shouldn't have. You know what, that's funny
Speaker 1: because as I'm watching it now, I've definitely had a
Speaker 1: Big and I back then I used to be like, Wow,
Speaker 1: where's my Big? Now I know I've had a Big before,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm so glad I'm not with Dick.
Speaker 1: I would have picked eight in all day. Yeah, better
Speaker 1: than Big. You still there, head, you guys. I just
Speaker 1: don't know. This cool new game on my phone called
Speaker 1: Ultimate Disc. It's so fun. I sure, I don't know
Speaker 1: what Dean was doing, but Dean, I just got the
Speaker 1: Nintendo Switching today, got Animal Crossing and Super Smash. So
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're on Nintendo sw yes, you
Speaker 1: actually got the switch. That's badass. I haven't got Animal
Speaker 1: Crossing yet. But isn't it like Chrissy Teagan's favorite game?
Speaker 1: Um I saw her. I don't know if it is
Speaker 1: been wow, she's my idol um. I love Christy Teagan.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I just got in Animal Crossing today. It
Speaker 1: was late from the pre order and I didn't know
Speaker 1: I could did really download it like a like a loser,
Speaker 1: But uh, I totally just got it in today my
Speaker 1: switch came, so I'm pumped. I'll give you some advice.
Speaker 1: Download Reath of the Wild, the Legend of Elba game.
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's one of the games where I've beaten
Speaker 1: it a couple of times, but I can never put
Speaker 1: it down. I always pick it back up. It's my
Speaker 1: it's my recommendation for you for you, Katie. So, because
Speaker 1: I'm curious, there's probably a lot of people listening to
Speaker 1: this podcast right now that might be socially isolated by themselves,
Speaker 1: like yourself, So how are you remaining social during this
Speaker 1: social distancing and social isolation? Are you doing anything innovative
Speaker 1: between FaceTime, Skype or anything like that. So I'm actually
Speaker 1: I have scheduled little FaceTime dates with my girls night
Speaker 1: in with my girls from back home. But we we
Speaker 1: were asking ourselves why we didn't do this sooner because
Speaker 1: my friends from back home I haven't seen in months anyway,
Speaker 1: because they're in Louisiana. So um, I think the reason
Speaker 1: we didn't do it is because they all get to
Speaker 1: see each other at like for a little wine nights
Speaker 1: and stuff, and I was just always the one not included.
Speaker 1: But now I'm just included in wine nights, so it's
Speaker 1: kind of nice. Um, since they're all having to stay
Speaker 1: in their houses and um, I'm on, I'm on dating
Speaker 1: app because I just got bored and but it's those
Speaker 1: are kind of boring too. So that's why I bought
Speaker 1: the Nintendo Switch, because I was, like, you know what,
Speaker 1: back home with my brother, I would have preferred to
Speaker 1: play video games, and since I'm not there, I needed
Speaker 1: to get some type of console. Would you be open
Speaker 1: to the idea of face timing with with somebody from
Speaker 1: the dating app. Um, yeah, it's yeah, I mean I'm
Speaker 1: open to Yeah, I'm open to the idea that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: depending on the connection, depending on a couple of teams.
Speaker 1: One of my friends I won't say who it is
Speaker 1: because this was so stupid of them. Uh, they were
Speaker 1: talking to someone on the dating app. And this was
Speaker 1: only a few days ago, and there was some sort
Speaker 1: of social distancing party that she went to where it
Speaker 1: was I know, it was so stupid. So she went
Speaker 1: to this this party with the guy that she meant
Speaker 1: on HMS. They all stayed six ft apart, but there
Speaker 1: was there was still like eight to ten of them
Speaker 1: there apparently, and so and then of course what happens
Speaker 1: at the end of the night, she makes out of him.
Speaker 1: I know. It was just so people don't really off
Speaker 1: I know, so don't do that. Uh was a mistake.
Speaker 1: She recognized it was a mistake, but it was just
Speaker 1: they you know, of course, you like had a couple
Speaker 1: of glasses of wine or whatever, and then you know,
Speaker 1: it was just like the end of the night, and
Speaker 1: then they were six ft apart, and then two seconds later,
Speaker 1: Uh they were not six ft apart. So uh, people
Speaker 1: need to you know, I laughed, but it's really not funny.
Speaker 1: Actually at these times, uh, people need to stay the
Speaker 1: ft home like Katie's doing, and especially like you know,
Speaker 1: everybody says, you know, the young and healthy are not
Speaker 1: as as much to risk of this, which is true
Speaker 1: by the numbers. But at the same time, someone like
Speaker 1: Katie is not. You know, like you said, Katie, you
Speaker 1: have asthma and and you know you you can't take
Speaker 1: this lightly. So no one in this world should take
Speaker 1: it lightly either. Um no, And it's it's it's just
Speaker 1: starting to get really selfish right now. People are saying, oh,
Speaker 1: it's not a big dealer. Oh I don't have corona.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh you don't. Do you really know that?
Speaker 1: When people because I've had friends even to recently asked
Speaker 1: me to come over, and the fact that people are
Speaker 1: asking me to randomly come over and it's seeming so
Speaker 1: chilled there the words are flowing out of their mouths
Speaker 1: that easily. They're like, oh, you're bored, come over. I'm like, wait,
Speaker 1: what whoa why is your brain thinking this way? That's
Speaker 1: concerning to me because someone like me saying no, but
Speaker 1: there could be someone out there that's like, oh sure,
Speaker 1: why not? I mean I don't understand what people don't
Speaker 1: understand about staying home and not like not separating from
Speaker 1: the pod that you were with when you when everything
Speaker 1: went down and when we decided to quarantine. Um, it's
Speaker 1: super of course attempting to some people that are alone.
Speaker 1: I understand that mental health out there. I'm really concerned
Speaker 1: for people because, um, it's it's easy to stay inside
Speaker 1: right now, obviously because we are supposed to. But it's
Speaker 1: very imperative for people to get some sort of sunlight
Speaker 1: and some sort of exercise just to maintain uh, the
Speaker 1: their mental health and to keep anxiety levels down. And
Speaker 1: I really want people to stress that, and I also
Speaker 1: want people to just be smarter. It's it's hard to cope, um.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I think this is a
Speaker 1: good time for people to try and start building routines
Speaker 1: that they otherwise would have said that they don't have
Speaker 1: enough time for before because they're too busy rushing to work.
Speaker 1: So this is the time to start figuring that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff out. In my opinion is we're just take
Speaker 1: a break or just take a break because we were
Speaker 1: all people out there in America. A lot of people
Speaker 1: are overworked anyway, I know, I feel really bad, but
Speaker 1: there's so many businesses and small businesses, large businesses, people
Speaker 1: everywhere losing jobs and that is heartbreaking. Uh, the world
Speaker 1: just it seems to be crumbling. But in this time,
Speaker 1: just people need to come together. Really, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: not all about digging deep. There's so many different factors
Speaker 1: to everything that's going on and money and everything. It's
Speaker 1: just like, it's just really heartbreaking to see our world
Speaker 1: is kind of somewhat crumbling, crumbling. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: there's a part of me that feels really positive and
Speaker 1: uplifted about how many people are able to connect at
Speaker 1: this time and um, come together right now. Um, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of there's a lot of connection happening in
Speaker 1: social media that I think wasn't present before. So that's
Speaker 1: kind of a nice little upside that's going on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree, I think we're stronger together before we go.
Speaker 1: I just have one quite and since uh, neither Jared
Speaker 1: nor me can be on the dating apps now, obviously,
Speaker 1: what is it like being on the apps during a
Speaker 1: time like this? The guys, it's so weird. Um, First
Speaker 1: of all, you can't talk about things you've done that
Speaker 1: day because at this point, you know, a guy's telling me,
Speaker 1: I claimed my room and did my laundry, Like normally,
Speaker 1: I don't think you're talking about it about that in
Speaker 1: dating apps, but at this point people are down to
Speaker 1: listening what their chores were that day. Um, the only
Speaker 1: thing you can really do is ask people, you know,
Speaker 1: play the questions game. I ask people a bunch of
Speaker 1: questions or uh, I don't know. There's not much to
Speaker 1: do out there. So that's why I haven't really been
Speaker 1: investing a lot of time in dating apps. I think
Speaker 1: that I piddle around here and there. Sometimes I just
Speaker 1: like do a little ways and then most of the
Speaker 1: time you get the same questions, how's your quarantine going?
Speaker 1: Not great? How is yours going to start crazy? Whatever?
Speaker 1: It's kind of it's like, how's your quarantine going wonderful?
Speaker 1: I'm so happy? How about you? It's like three answers
Speaker 1: you can answer, and then the conversation kind of goes
Speaker 1: in circles. So, UM, I don't know. I would love
Speaker 1: to see how many people come out of this, or
Speaker 1: the numbers to how many people UH found themselves in
Speaker 1: a love is blind situation and actually made solid connections
Speaker 1: after this quarantine I would love to know the actual
Speaker 1: numbers after this. Well, I guess we can only wait
Speaker 1: and find out. But Katie, thank you so much for
Speaker 1: joining us everything you said as always, Yeah, I love
Speaker 1: you to take care. I'm kind of this is going
Speaker 1: to come across probably it sounds really bad. I'm kind
Speaker 1: of jealous that she gets to be on the dating
Speaker 1: app right now. Don't tell Kalen. Obviously it's a joke.
Speaker 1: But like, you know, if she gets to just fill
Speaker 1: her time by talking to a bunch of random strangers,
Speaker 1: and that sounds pretty fun? Does it sound fun? Yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: I mean maybe like in moderation, you know, to a
Speaker 1: certain extent. All right, let me let me ask you this,
Speaker 1: would you if you had the option, uh, would you
Speaker 1: rather be quarantined for a month by yourself or quarantined
Speaker 1: with your significant other for a month. Well, if we're
Speaker 1: playing the would you ralegant? I mean obviously, Look, I'd
Speaker 1: rather be with Caitlin for any extended period of time.
Speaker 1: There's no question. I'm just saying there's I'm trying to
Speaker 1: make it provide a silver lining for those that are,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe not in a relationship. Well, I guess
Speaker 1: my question was uh, and and and we have Peter
Speaker 1: on the line too, so maybe we'll come back to
Speaker 1: that question for Dean. Um. So we have Peter Cross, yes,
Speaker 1: But before before we take Peter though, Jared, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break and it'll come back and get him
Speaker 1: on the phone. All right, we're back from the break,
Speaker 1: and now we have everyone's favorite Peter Krause on the line.
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, Peter, how's it going, good man? I
Speaker 1: haven't heard your voice a little bit? How you I
Speaker 1: was just about to say we just I missed out
Speaker 1: on your birthday this year because you just turned thirty one. Wow,
Speaker 1: way off, man, thirty four I'm getting up there. Thirty four,
Speaker 1: Um obviously right, uh, twenty five next month? Actually, what hey,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you're You've got a youthful spirit, you know,
Speaker 1: so it's better to be younger than to seem older,
Speaker 1: I guess. But how's it going? Man? It's gonna hear
Speaker 1: your voice too, Yeah, dude, I'm weather in the storm
Speaker 1: right now. We'll go with that. Yeah. So obviously, for
Speaker 1: the listeners out there, I'm certain that you already know
Speaker 1: who Peter is. But he owns his own gym, out
Speaker 1: in Madison, Wisconsin. But obviously with everything that's going on,
Speaker 1: you've been focusing a lot more on like workout at
Speaker 1: home type stuff. Right yeah, well right now, the so
Speaker 1: like I just got off a long conference call about
Speaker 1: finding ways to find basically funding with our doors are
Speaker 1: now closed, and you know, there's memberships and all that
Speaker 1: that are being canceled and classes that are no longer happening,
Speaker 1: and so there's a huge deficit and income and so
Speaker 1: trying to find ways to make up for that because
Speaker 1: it's you know, my main source of income and I
Speaker 1: got to support a gym and all that. So it's
Speaker 1: been interesting for these the last couple of weeks trying
Speaker 1: to figure out ways to find new sources of incomes.
Speaker 1: So now I'm doing online video and boot camps and
Speaker 1: all that. Well, So I guess it's interesting because we
Speaker 1: had a couple of our other bachelor friends on the
Speaker 1: podcast today, but you're the first that's like a legitimate
Speaker 1: business owner like that. So what is it it's for you?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like obviously there's an added fear of people,
Speaker 1: like you said, canceling their memberships. What what has it
Speaker 1: happen like, Like, I mean it's pretty stressful. I would
Speaker 1: imagine I don't want to more stress to it. But basically,
Speaker 1: all right, so the gym costs tens of thousands of
Speaker 1: dollars a month to keep a float basically, and imagine
Speaker 1: you get that instantly cut in half when you have
Speaker 1: to cancel class is because of social distancing, and so
Speaker 1: that goes for a week, two weeks, something like that,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they say that you
Speaker 1: can't even open your doors to general population um and
Speaker 1: so it brings up like an inner turmoil. It's do
Speaker 1: I follow all guidelines and shut doors completely, or do
Speaker 1: I allow people to make their own decisions that have
Speaker 1: memberships and allow them to continue to come in, because
Speaker 1: if I tell them they can't, they'll cancel their memberships.
Speaker 1: And then you know, I'm not a millionaire. I don't
Speaker 1: have money just waiting in hidden places to bail myself
Speaker 1: out when I need it. Like when you owe ten
Speaker 1: plus grand a month and there's zero dollars coming in,
Speaker 1: it disappears quickly. That's crazy. Are you coping them just
Speaker 1: personally outside of the business aspect of things like are
Speaker 1: you continuing to talk to people that your friends with
Speaker 1: are you still like seeing your friends or are you
Speaker 1: just face timing or what are you doing? Been talking
Speaker 1: to my family a lot more. That's been nights have
Speaker 1: been fati my brother and his kids, and talking to
Speaker 1: my parents. They wanted me to come out to their
Speaker 1: house for my birthday, and I said for safety purposes no,
Speaker 1: So I spent my birthday alone, but FaceTime with some
Speaker 1: people and caught up with some friends I had in
Speaker 1: a while. It's it's different. It's been forcing inter personal
Speaker 1: communication that maybe had fallen off the period of time
Speaker 1: because we're all so busy with our general daily lives
Speaker 1: that we kind of forget about close friendships and family
Speaker 1: and all that at times. Yeah, that's fair. So for
Speaker 1: for the listeners too that maybe aren't as familiar with
Speaker 1: Peter so beyond just a beautiful, perfectly toned face and body,
Speaker 1: he's actually an incredible artist too. So have you been
Speaker 1: have you been painting or anything like that while you've
Speaker 1: been self isolating? So unfortunately, my art comes from like
Speaker 1: a calm, quiet place, and with all the stress of
Speaker 1: the situation right now, there's been not much of that,
Speaker 1: So I'm sure will come. I think the longer this goes,
Speaker 1: I was even saying like, I feel like this whole
Speaker 1: thing is gonna being a bring a bloom of the
Speaker 1: arts where people have no choice but to find things
Speaker 1: to do. And so many people have hidden art tent
Speaker 1: or talents like musically, painting, sculpting, whatever it may be,
Speaker 1: And when you're forced to do nothing else, those things
Speaker 1: may start to pick back up again. Right, So hopefully
Speaker 1: I guess your situation alleviates itself so you can start
Speaker 1: doing kind of having fun. At least you're enjoying yourself
Speaker 1: a little bit. Hey, Peter, Jared, how are you, bud
Speaker 1: um Jared? Man? Are you I'm doing well. Man, It's
Speaker 1: good to hear your voice. I hope you're staying safe
Speaker 1: over there. I just got a question. So, um, during
Speaker 1: this you know, crazy time, you're obviously keeping social distancing,
Speaker 1: So how are you keeping sane during this time? You know,
Speaker 1: how are you staying social? But also listened to sing
Speaker 1: to the rules of self isolation? Yeah, well, so Madison
Speaker 1: hasn't been put on a full lockdown yet. Supposely it's
Speaker 1: coming tomorrow. Um, as far as social been saying, I
Speaker 1: take my dog out, come home, stay back inside, and
Speaker 1: um focus on online programming from my clients talking the family. Um,
Speaker 1: I still go to the gym every single day, just
Speaker 1: make sure thing's impact, and I wipe down every service
Speaker 1: because there's still people going in there from time to
Speaker 1: time to work out. Um. But yeah, find finding ways.
Speaker 1: I don't surprised that I've I've not had a moment
Speaker 1: where I'm like, wow, I need to find something to do. Yet.
Speaker 1: That's good. That's not come across from it just yet.
Speaker 1: That's good. That's good man. Yeah. Surprisingly, I feel the
Speaker 1: exact same way Ashley and I were talking about the
Speaker 1: you know, the day how you know, knocked on wood.
Speaker 1: We haven't been really bored yet, but then we came
Speaker 1: to the conclusion. Talk to us in a week and
Speaker 1: a half to see how we feel then. But then
Speaker 1: it's crazy. So Madison is not in complete lockdown? How
Speaker 1: has it been over there in Wisconsin? I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: actually not aware of how coronavirus has been impacting that state. Uh,
Speaker 1: I mean everything is definitely being acted at this point.
Speaker 1: Businesses are closing their doors willingly more so than being
Speaker 1: mandated to. And there's certain businesses have been forced to
Speaker 1: like things where it's hand on hand contact, like uh,
Speaker 1: Salon's massage, chiropractical stuff has been forced to close. UM
Speaker 1: businesses that you know, all for food service have been
Speaker 1: forced to do just delivery or pick up, and most
Speaker 1: have closed completely. UM tomorrow supposedly goes into full effect
Speaker 1: that you have to be in your house unless like
Speaker 1: emergency purposes. I guess it is UM. But overall the
Speaker 1: streets are empty. People are staying inside. I haven't seen
Speaker 1: any like congregating of people anywhere. It's funny to see
Speaker 1: people kind of standing out in their individual yards talking
Speaker 1: across the street in the smaller neighborhoods. I had a
Speaker 1: d m V appointment today because at dmbn L at
Speaker 1: least right now is appointment only, but I had a
Speaker 1: couple of things that were time sensitive, so like an
Speaker 1: eight thirty am appointment and driving out. The streets were
Speaker 1: completely empty. Even the hairs in the d NB office
Speaker 1: space six ft apart from each other, so there's like
Speaker 1: twenty chairs in the entire office. I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: pretty crazy. It's like kind of it's like eerie to
Speaker 1: see at times, you know what I mean. Well, l
Speaker 1: A is on full lockdown at this point, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: we are, So it's like only essential businesses are allowed
Speaker 1: to stay open at the moment, which it sounds like
Speaker 1: you guys are basically there. But I guess it's gonna
Speaker 1: be official tomorrow, like you're saying, But I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's like there are essential businesses, like that's basically all
Speaker 1: we ever go to anyway. It's like food stores, gas
Speaker 1: stations and you know whatever, like a financial institution, like
Speaker 1: Peter were saying though, like his gym had to shut doors,
Speaker 1: you know, so like a lot of places are being
Speaker 1: affected that more groceries and so forth. It's been so
Speaker 1: long since I've been to a gym. I kind of
Speaker 1: space that one. Um. So, Peter, you know, at one
Speaker 1: point this quarantine will end, um and um. You know.
Speaker 1: I'm curious because I don't know. This is obviously a
Speaker 1: dating podcast. I don't know your relationship status, and you are,
Speaker 1: in my eyes, from all the girls that I'm friends with,
Speaker 1: uh from Bachelor Nation, you are one of the most
Speaker 1: coveted men I can in the history of the Bachelor franchise.
Speaker 1: And I don't really think I'm overstepping in my grounds
Speaker 1: by saying that. So do you think is the door
Speaker 1: open for you to return to the franchise. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: that that was an interesting way to get to that question. Well,
Speaker 1: the reason I say that is because, like I said,
Speaker 1: you know, okay, full disclosure. Actually talked about this earlier.
Speaker 1: We were born the other night and we're playing with
Speaker 1: one of her friends, like who would you rather date?
Speaker 1: Type of thing, and I was giving guys from the franchise.
Speaker 1: They were giving me girls, and Ashley and I were
Speaker 1: very cool with it. We were, you know, we're just
Speaker 1: having fun. And you just like continued slightly. You were like, like,
Speaker 1: if this is the end, stay you were at least
Speaker 1: the number two seed, if not the number one. And
Speaker 1: so my question is would you come back to the
Speaker 1: frantise because I think there'd be some intrigue there. Well,
Speaker 1: if that's the case, it's news to me because nobody's
Speaker 1: sliding in my d M from that franchise. I don't know.
Speaker 1: So Peters, I'm just up on Jared's team here real
Speaker 1: quick and say let's say this, Uh, this shutdown goes
Speaker 1: on a little longer than we want. They somehow film paradise,
Speaker 1: but you're still not able to open your gym. What
Speaker 1: do you think was there a possibility? All Right? My
Speaker 1: question is right back at you. Guys. Do you think
Speaker 1: they would actually ask for me to come back to
Speaker 1: the franchise? And my answer to that is not a
Speaker 1: hundred You're insane, I think I think that's crazy. I
Speaker 1: think it depends on who you ask, because if you
Speaker 1: knew the whole background, the story of why like I
Speaker 1: never went back onto a show. I actually at one
Speaker 1: point decided, after like a year of being away from it,
Speaker 1: like I'd be interested in talking to some people again.
Speaker 1: And uh, it seems to get shut down right at
Speaker 1: the source. It's just like, uh, you know, no, well,
Speaker 1: I don't how it ended. I mean, unless you want
Speaker 1: to tell ushunt and between you and production, is there
Speaker 1: a reason why they wouldn't want you back on the show.
Speaker 1: Obviously you don't have to talk about you don't feel comfortable, No,
Speaker 1: I honestly, I don't know. I feel like, um, I'm
Speaker 1: friends with all you guys from friends with everybody on
Speaker 1: the show, and um, just never been given an opportunity
Speaker 1: I guess to go back. Well, I think uh that
Speaker 1: uh you would be a great fit for the show
Speaker 1: once again, especially if you came back to Paradise. You
Speaker 1: would uh be a very popular contestant. Uh, and then
Speaker 1: who knows what the future of the franchise has with
Speaker 1: future bachelors. Uh. You know, because we've seen with you know,
Speaker 1: Ari and when they pick Nick that they don't mind
Speaker 1: going back in the franchise. So I hope that you
Speaker 1: leave that door open. So I would love to see
Speaker 1: you know you back in the Bachelor franchise at some point,
Speaker 1: especially if you're single, which is crazy to think that
Speaker 1: you've been single for this long because I agree with
Speaker 1: Dean where you know, you've got a great face, funny congratulation.
Speaker 1: You're pretty good artists too. I'm just saying you got
Speaker 1: your the whole package. In my eyes, I'm glad it
Speaker 1: only takes those two things. Thank you. Alex is between
Speaker 1: two Thorns. Thing was pretty funny with you guys in it. Dude,
Speaker 1: Alex corrects me up that man has endless and as
Speaker 1: a comedy built into him. That. I was more impressed
Speaker 1: with your your acting ability to be honest, you were
Speaker 1: like pretty pretty convincing and most of that stuff. Thank you, yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you. He uh he ran through at once and
Speaker 1: I couldn't stop laughing the entire time. She's like, all right,
Speaker 1: we obviously have to do this again a little more serious,
Speaker 1: I mean exactly. He was some pretty harsh questions, but
Speaker 1: it was still pretty funny, was pretty good. It was hilarious,
Speaker 1: all right, buddy, Well, hey, thanks for calling in. Good
Speaker 1: luck with your gym and figuring all that out. Hopefully
Speaker 1: you'll have some times of solitude piece where you can
Speaker 1: break out the paintbrushes and do something a little bit
Speaker 1: more creative too. If I do, I'll show it to you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: sounds good. All right, we'll take care. Well, well, we'll
Speaker 1: have to talk later. On happy belated birthday thirty one.
Speaker 1: Remember if you, if you're listening to this, jump into
Speaker 1: Peters d MS and wish him a happy birthday because
Speaker 1: he definitely needs some extra loving on there. Uh apparently.
Speaker 1: But I love you, buddy, Thanks for taking the time today.
Speaker 1: Thanks buddy. Good talking to you, guys. Do we good
Speaker 1: talking to you? Alight? Thanks you too, But alright bye, guys. Alrighty,
Speaker 1: dang if it's gonna be tough for him, because, like,
Speaker 1: like I said that a little news in there, I
Speaker 1: didn't know that he was open to coming back to
Speaker 1: the franchise and then apparently it didn't work out. I
Speaker 1: had always assumed that he didn't want to come back.
Speaker 1: So that's interesting. Yeah, I don't know who knows, who
Speaker 1: ever really knows you know this is true, But I
Speaker 1: agree with you, Gene. I mean, it's it's you know,
Speaker 1: Peter is a small business owner, and then you hear,
Speaker 1: you know, constantly on the news about how small business
Speaker 1: owners are going to get killed throughout this time, um,
Speaker 1: and then you're seeing it, you know, you're hearing it
Speaker 1: from the horse's mouth right there, someone who's who's um
Speaker 1: going through some troubling times with everything that's going on,
Speaker 1: and so it's you know, the priority, like we talked about,
Speaker 1: is the health of the public, but you know, there's
Speaker 1: going to be some serious financial crisis after this, and
Speaker 1: so it's it's turbulent times. But again, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: we gotta try to stay positive, stay optimistic, and also
Speaker 1: just uh not let fear or stress affect us because
Speaker 1: I think that's the worst thing for our mental health,
Speaker 1: our physical health and everything else. And so you know,
Speaker 1: just keep doing what Dean does. Just keep on swimming,
Speaker 1: Keep on swimming, people, keep just keep swimming. That's what
Speaker 1: story did and that's what we gotta do, all right,
Speaker 1: And we're gonna end this part well, I guess not
Speaker 1: ending yet, but we're gonna end this batch of isolated
Speaker 1: former bachelor contest with the biggest fan of help I
Speaker 1: suck at Dating that has ever existed on planet Earth.
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm pretty sure. He was our first
Speaker 1: subscriber my second dating podcast, and he writes fan mail.
Speaker 1: He'd d m us all the time. He would actually
Speaker 1: create a fake emails just so he could leave us
Speaker 1: multiple five star reviews, which we appreciate and we encourage you,
Speaker 1: our fellow listeners, to do the same. But we have
Speaker 1: Nick fi All now as a guest. And yet the
Speaker 1: fun fact, Nick File is actually the anonymous emailer that
Speaker 1: we always get. He is anonymous, yes, yes, and he's
Speaker 1: been begging us for weeks. He's been asking to come
Speaker 1: on the podcast, and so we finally were like, you
Speaker 1: know what, Nick, Sure, let's do this. Yeah, we'll give
Speaker 1: you five minutes. We'll give you five minutes. Yeah, So Nick,
Speaker 1: are you there? I'm sorry, guys, I was I was
Speaker 1: podcasting from the comfort of my home. Well that's what
Speaker 1: you're doing right now, your podcast. Yeah, welcome to another podcast.
Speaker 1: I was podcasting my hit show and I'm well, are
Speaker 1: you are you? Are you guys? Are you guys the
Speaker 1: studio practicing being irresponsible? Are you guys also calling from
Speaker 1: the comfort of your home? We're We're fully comfortable. I'm
Speaker 1: in bed. I'm currently in a closet, Nick, So are
Speaker 1: you really that's where I'm podcasting from. Well, it's probably
Speaker 1: the best for the sound quality of the podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: surrounded by clothes. I'm I'm in the corner of a house.
Speaker 1: That's where I'm at. That's great. I'm I haven't left
Speaker 1: my house in a seven days, so it's something like
Speaker 1: a grand old time we I. I do very much
Speaker 1: enjoy your videos of dealing with yourself. Thanks a new title,
Speaker 1: hanging with Me, because um, the Paul Rudd show Living
Speaker 1: with Yourself was was already taken. Got it? That makes
Speaker 1: perfect sense. Nick, How are you dealing with this self isolation?
Speaker 1: Because you, as everybody knows who follows you on social media,
Speaker 1: you are self corny to yourself by yourself. So how
Speaker 1: are you doing through it? I'm a little bored. Um.
Speaker 1: I'm well, I've partly been um quarantine myself because I've
Speaker 1: quite honestly have some symptoms that would suggest that I
Speaker 1: possibly have coronavirus, so that sucks. But I do want
Speaker 1: to say obviously that I'm overall in good health, just
Speaker 1: some some chest tightness and shortness of breath and um,
Speaker 1: thankfully I started experiencing these systems after I was staying
Speaker 1: by myself, so hopefully it hasn't affected others if I
Speaker 1: do have it. But um, yeah, I talked to my
Speaker 1: doctor and it's told me to stay home, so I'm
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not too worried for myself. But uh,
Speaker 1: and I can't really confirm anything because obviously testo limited.
Speaker 1: But other than that, super lonely, super bored. But it
Speaker 1: hadn't stopped me from you know, making videos or podcasting.
Speaker 1: But it certainly makes it feel all that more real.
Speaker 1: I will said. Up, I think that's the funniest juxtaposition
Speaker 1: of that's the way that's ever been said, I'm super lonely.
Speaker 1: You just said so a beat when you said it, Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, what are you gonna do? And all honestly though,
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, it's not too much there for them
Speaker 1: my norm so everything's fine. Yeah, I get that. Nick.
Speaker 1: I have a question for you, as someone that's just
Speaker 1: painfully single, what is it like being single during the
Speaker 1: quarantine are you are you taking FaceTime dates? Are you
Speaker 1: just completely disregarding it altogether? What are you doing? I'm
Speaker 1: you know, again, I haven't been feeling the best, and
Speaker 1: and then when I have energy, I've been kind of
Speaker 1: keeping busy with with work. Um, so my my daily
Speaker 1: life hasn't been very active quarantine lines. But I do
Speaker 1: think in general, for the people who are single out there,
Speaker 1: this is a quite honestly a great time to to
Speaker 1: get to know someone. I mean, tech still work, phones
Speaker 1: still work, FaceTime still works, stripes still works. And for
Speaker 1: other people out there dating who um, I feel like
Speaker 1: sometimes sexual tension or or the pressure of being intimate
Speaker 1: with someone sometimes um confuses an early dating situation. Wing
Speaker 1: a great opportunity to remove that from the equation and
Speaker 1: just get to know someone through old fashioned conversation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what a concept, getting to know someone through old fashioned conversation.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure you've seen the show on Netflix
Speaker 1: Love is Blind. It's just it's just a real layed
Speaker 1: version of that. Essentially. I've seen the first two episodes,
Speaker 1: is certainly enough to know the concept. But yeah, well
Speaker 1: you know, you can still see what people look like um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, if you if you are like, let's say
Speaker 1: you meet someone on a dating app, you know, um
Speaker 1: set up the old fashioned I think it's gonna say, hey,
Speaker 1: do you wanna have a FaceTime date. I think that's
Speaker 1: a I think that's a funny thing for people out
Speaker 1: there who maybe they matched with someone, They've been talking
Speaker 1: to someone for a couple of days and this broke out.
Speaker 1: They maybe had plans to get together and have a
Speaker 1: cup of coffee or a drink, etcetera, etcetera. I would
Speaker 1: I would encourage people to say, you know what, let's
Speaker 1: not put this potential budding glove affair on hold. Let's
Speaker 1: uh make it make it official, like, you know, get
Speaker 1: dressed up, set up a little date, hopefully stocked up
Speaker 1: on some wine or a beer or whatever whatever your
Speaker 1: drink is, and um, set up a little date, be
Speaker 1: a FaceTime I think that's could be a fun idea
Speaker 1: for people. Am I on the only one here? Or
Speaker 1: what do you guys think? Guys who are in love?
Speaker 1: I mean, since Jared seems to broke into microphone, I
Speaker 1: think I think it's a great idea. Obviously, we're kind
Speaker 1: of in different boats because we're essentially spending. We have
Speaker 1: a quarantine partner if you will. You know, like Kaylin
Speaker 1: and I have basically been together since the quarantine started,
Speaker 1: Jared has been with Ashley. It's kind of an I
Speaker 1: saying they don't have to worry about I. I gotta say,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like, uh, as fun as that sounds,
Speaker 1: and as interesting and creative you can get with it,
Speaker 1: I'm glad that I don't have to bother with it. Fortunately. No.
Speaker 1: I agree with Nick. I think it's a good idea,
Speaker 1: especially you gotta keep yourself busy right now and try
Speaker 1: to keep your spirits high as much as possible, because,
Speaker 1: as we all know, watching the news, it just seems
Speaker 1: like there's more bad news every ten minutes. So I
Speaker 1: think the idea of of maybe setting up a FaceTime
Speaker 1: or skype date where you know you you you maybe
Speaker 1: put on a button down T shirt that you haven't
Speaker 1: worn because you've been in sweatpants and sweatshirts all weak. Um.
Speaker 1: I agree with I agree with Nick, and plus, like
Speaker 1: Nick said, I think it's a good time to get
Speaker 1: to know someone because there is uh at least a
Speaker 1: part of the sexual attention that's removed. Still, you know,
Speaker 1: you can still see how somebody looks, uh and how
Speaker 1: they vibe with you, um, even over the phone. But
Speaker 1: there is that element of awkwardness or uncomfortability that is
Speaker 1: with meeting someone in person the first time that has
Speaker 1: been removed. So I do agree. I think there's nothing
Speaker 1: wrong with setting up a nice, little fun FaceTime date.
Speaker 1: Why not? Absolutely? Nick? Or are you what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Are you on dating apps right now? Just to pass
Speaker 1: the time too? We had a Petie Morton on earlier
Speaker 1: who's on the dating apps, and I said jokingly obviously
Speaker 1: that I would. I'm almost envious of it, just because
Speaker 1: it kind of keeps saying interesting too? Or what do
Speaker 1: you do when you're just when you're not obviously resting
Speaker 1: and taking care of yourself and hopefully you don't have corona,
Speaker 1: but you know you gotta past the time somehow, right? Uh? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean regardless, Yeah, I mean I'm not currently active
Speaker 1: on on dating apps, but I still think there it's
Speaker 1: a great thing. I think I am pro dating app
Speaker 1: in general, whether I'm on it or not. I think
Speaker 1: it's one avenue to meet someone. You know, there's no
Speaker 1: there's no wrong way to connect with people. Um, I
Speaker 1: don't everyone loves to have a story. Uh, but I
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think that really matters too much. Um,
Speaker 1: if you're lucky enough to find somebody, you know, the
Speaker 1: big story of how you met is you know whatever,
Speaker 1: I agree with you. You just go after the things
Speaker 1: you want and let go of how they come to be. Nick.
Speaker 1: I have a question though, for other people that are
Speaker 1: maybe experiencing the same thing where they're not sure if
Speaker 1: they have coronavirus and on, and there may be feeling
Speaker 1: a tickle on their throat or a cought Um, are
Speaker 1: you stock Are you stocked up? Or you still? Like?
Speaker 1: Are you you know if you don't, if you can't
Speaker 1: leave the house for two weeks, are you okay? I
Speaker 1: mean I I am stocked up again. I mean I
Speaker 1: think you know, that's the thing. It's just like the
Speaker 1: UM I think right now is is a society as
Speaker 1: a country. I think quite honestly, I think people need
Speaker 1: to all act like they could possibly have it. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm experiencing some symptoms that suggest that I might have it,
Speaker 1: And obviously I was in New York and I was
Speaker 1: flying a couple weeks ago with might you know have
Speaker 1: led to that. But there's also a lot of young
Speaker 1: people who wouldn't show any signs of symptoms, and that
Speaker 1: symptoms could also just be a headache or a running nose. Um,
Speaker 1: And so you know, personally, yeah, I am fine. I
Speaker 1: am stocked up. I also have you know, friends and
Speaker 1: and and people in the area that if I need
Speaker 1: something and I don't want to go outside, I could
Speaker 1: have them drop it off at my door or something
Speaker 1: like that. So I'm not too worried about myself. But
Speaker 1: I think the important thing is is, uh, we need
Speaker 1: to all do our part um and um, you know
Speaker 1: what's interesting about you know, the symptoms I have. Again,
Speaker 1: I don't know for sure that I have it, and
Speaker 1: the reason I've chosen not to get tested is because
Speaker 1: they're not readily available. And um, as of this moment,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not considered at risk for getting serious and
Speaker 1: I'm a healthy person and my symptoms are well, they're
Speaker 1: noticeable enough that I know it's not normal. They're not
Speaker 1: severe enough that I have any concerns. But um, so
Speaker 1: I'm just doing my part and acting like I do.
Speaker 1: And again, like for everyone, you know, I think we're
Speaker 1: I'm I'm hearing too many stories of people still going
Speaker 1: out and hanging groups. I live in Venice, California, and
Speaker 1: you know before I've kind of isolated myself totally. You know,
Speaker 1: just a few days ago, I stepped outside for some
Speaker 1: fresh air, and uh, you know, too many people hanging
Speaker 1: out in groups and playing pick up basketball and groups
Speaker 1: and things like that, hanging out and coffee shops and etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 1: So UM, I think people need to take it seriously
Speaker 1: and do their part. And obviously we're gonna have to
Speaker 1: get out. You'll have to get supplies, you have to
Speaker 1: do what you need to do and wash your hands
Speaker 1: and and all those things. But I think everyone needs
Speaker 1: to air on the side of caution because you test,
Speaker 1: there's not enough test for everyone to get tested, which
Speaker 1: is unfortunate. But just because you can't get tested or
Speaker 1: have him been tested, doesn't mean that you couldn't be
Speaker 1: a carrier. So just protect those people UM around you
Speaker 1: and yourself. I wouldn't even know where to beginning to
Speaker 1: get a testing kit from, but then I saw obviously
Speaker 1: we saw that Coulton tested positive for it. UM. So
Speaker 1: what have you gone through the process of like searching
Speaker 1: out a testing kit or are you kind of just
Speaker 1: like since your symptoms aren't super sucred. Yeah, when Colton
Speaker 1: announced that they had it, I actually reached out to
Speaker 1: him and asked him, um, and and then I called
Speaker 1: you know it is that I called a few places.
Speaker 1: It's hard to find and there's not a lot of
Speaker 1: clarity on it. Then more importantly, I reached out to
Speaker 1: my doctor and some you know, I have access from
Speaker 1: people who are you know, first responders. And again, because
Speaker 1: tests are so limited and I'm not considered at risk,
Speaker 1: and not to criticize Colton or anything, but um, I
Speaker 1: decided not to do it and not to contain to
Speaker 1: look for a place because if let's say I went
Speaker 1: and gotten tested, and let's say I went and tested positive,
Speaker 1: they would basically tell me to do what I'm already doing,
Speaker 1: and that is staying inside and in isolating myself. Um.
Speaker 1: And you know what, I might not have it. I
Speaker 1: might just have a I might just have a you know, um,
Speaker 1: another type of bug. It's entirely possible. But the point
Speaker 1: is I'm acting like I could have it and just
Speaker 1: being extra cautious and extra safe. And you know, I'm
Speaker 1: those tests for people who are more at risk and
Speaker 1: and and need to be identified if they do have
Speaker 1: it as having it. Um, I'll leave that to those people.
Speaker 1: So I don't have any clarity on where people can
Speaker 1: get tested, because I mean Calton told me where he did,
Speaker 1: but UM, quite honestly, it was not that close. And
Speaker 1: and more importantly, UM, after talking to you know, my
Speaker 1: healthcare provider, that it seemed like it wasn't necessary at
Speaker 1: this point. Right. Well, before you go, nick, uh, let's
Speaker 1: try to leave off on a positive note. Have you
Speaker 1: been you know, during this time? Have you been been
Speaker 1: watching any shows movies? Is there any recommendations that you
Speaker 1: have for the people listening to this podcast? Yeah? Have
Speaker 1: you guys been watching Tiger King? I just started today.
Speaker 1: I've been hearing all about the baby. Hey, wow one
Speaker 1: that's good stuff. You got another one? Uh? I just
Speaker 1: that's that's what I've been watching. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: watched Tutti the other night, which is an old Dustin
Speaker 1: Offting movie that's on Netflix. I think that's a good movie.
Speaker 1: I have no I have, but I watched it again.
Speaker 1: But it's a nice throwback that a lot of people
Speaker 1: might not have seen. It's a nice quality, fun movieh
Speaker 1: There we go, all right, a nice little recommendation from
Speaker 1: your good pal Nick Vile, which you can also listen to,
Speaker 1: of course with his hit hit super hit podcast The Vile. Secondly,
Speaker 1: it's only the second to your your guys there it is.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. But well, you're always a joy to
Speaker 1: have on the podcast, and I hope you feel about
Speaker 1: every buddy, and keep us updated and stay home, stay
Speaker 1: safe and love you. Let me know if you need
Speaker 1: me to run over in the orange juice or anything
Speaker 1: like that. Okay, I can move it on your front doorstep.
Speaker 1: I'm stocked up. Man. I love your hair, your picture
Speaker 1: of that Kala post. Did you look really hot? Team? Oh? Thanks,
Speaker 1: it's actually there's a lot shorter back then. I've been
Speaker 1: thinking about going for a shorter look. But tbd, I
Speaker 1: miss you well. I miss you too. If anything, I
Speaker 1: can use this quarantine as a time to get ads
Speaker 1: like you, because every time I see you're one of
Speaker 1: your pictures, I'm always I always looked down at my
Speaker 1: gut and I questioned my existence. No, man'll be fine. Hey,
Speaker 1: if you're looking for another good before you go, If
Speaker 1: you're looking for another good dust In Hoffman movie Outbreak
Speaker 1: is a really uplifting, joyful movie for for I watched
Speaker 1: that last week. Yeah, great movie. Good to your ahead
Speaker 1: of the curve. Then al right, buddy, I'll talk to
Speaker 1: you later. All right? Do you take care of yourself?
Speaker 1: All right? All right? Jared? What else do we what
Speaker 1: else do you want to talk about before we head
Speaker 1: out here? It's crazy the Outbreak is everybody's watching this
Speaker 1: movie either it's Outbreak or what's the other one, contagion? Contagion? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what so people just want to make themselves even more
Speaker 1: paranoid than they are right now. I don't get it,
Speaker 1: Like I want to watch, you know, Cinderella. I just
Speaker 1: want to watch not Cinderella, Like I want to watch
Speaker 1: something that just brings me joy and happiness and distracts
Speaker 1: me from the bad news that is happening in the
Speaker 1: world right now. And it's crazy that everybody is watching
Speaker 1: what's happening and then they immediately flock. Okay, let's watch
Speaker 1: a movie about a deadly disease that spreads and there's
Speaker 1: no cure, and it's like, why just watch the news?
Speaker 1: Why are you watching the Outbreak? Yeah? But in the
Speaker 1: end they find a cure, so it is kind of uplifting.
Speaker 1: At the end of it all, you know, I guess
Speaker 1: that doesn't like spoiler alert, doesn't like Renee Russo die.
Speaker 1: This is horrible. I don't remember, but I don't who's
Speaker 1: Renee Russo. She's an actress. You don't know who Renee
Speaker 1: Russo is. It doesn't Hoppin's wife in it. No, she
Speaker 1: doesn't die. She gets saved. Okay, thank god. I don't know.
Speaker 1: But yeah, because I went on Netflix and we're like, okay, let's,
Speaker 1: you know, find some stuff to watch, and that was
Speaker 1: this in one of the number one trending and it
Speaker 1: was like, good god, I don't know. I can I
Speaker 1: can watch her right now. I need to just distract myself.
Speaker 1: But anyway, Yeah, do you have any uh so I asked,
Speaker 1: I didn't ask you, And before we go, I want
Speaker 1: to ask you really quickly, what hobbies are you doing. Well,
Speaker 1: it's funny that you brought up the piano because I've
Speaker 1: actually been taking saxophone lessons. You've been taking sorry actually
Speaker 1: actually just walked in the room, but you just took
Speaker 1: saxophone lessons. Well, I've been taking them for like a month,
Speaker 1: over a month, so even before the quarantine started. But
Speaker 1: the kind of the shame you think about a saxophone.
Speaker 1: It's really loud, so I can't really practice it in
Speaker 1: Kiln's department. Dude, That's what I've been saying about the piano. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you understand my troubles. I'm still finding ways. I like,
Speaker 1: take my van out into the you know wherever and
Speaker 1: just stay in the van and practice that in there,
Speaker 1: and I find ways to do it. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: can't think of really anything worse than the idea of
Speaker 1: being quarantined with someone who's trying to learn saxophone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, exactly. Piano is at least semi tolerable.
Speaker 1: With saxophone, it's idiots unless you know how to play it,
Speaker 1: which I don't yet. But you know, give me a couple,
Speaker 1: give me like a week or two, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be playing like the greats. I think definitely. Well, actually,
Speaker 1: just walked in and she's tapping me on the shoulder
Speaker 1: saying she wants to add something to this conversation. And
Speaker 1: so Ashley, the floor is yours. Who are you one
Speaker 1: with me on the phone? I'm doing Why is it
Speaker 1: still on? We got a lot to talk about, okay,
Speaker 1: Because you guys have gone over an hour and a half.
Speaker 1: So this is it took your husband about twenty five
Speaker 1: minutes to figure ot how to set up his microphone.
Speaker 1: So she was on the call, Thank you very much.
Speaker 1: She was helping me. But still since then like we
Speaker 1: are anyway. So I just walked into the closet crying
Speaker 1: because my mom is being crazy. She's like, I don't
Speaker 1: know why why you haven't gotten pregnant yet? Why are
Speaker 1: you pregnant? And then she's like and then I was like, Mom,
Speaker 1: I told you, do you just can We just being
Speaker 1: married for a whole year and we just wanted to
Speaker 1: have a little bit more time alone. And she was
Speaker 1: just like until September. Why would you ever wait till september.
Speaker 1: You're never gonna conceive, and then you're gonna have problems
Speaker 1: when you have the second child because you're gonna be
Speaker 1: too old. Oh my god. Okay, well that's what she
Speaker 1: wanted to add. Thank you for bulging our family problems
Speaker 1: podcasts good good stuff. That would be good quarantine content.
Speaker 1: She literally walked, So I'm sitting in a closet right now,
Speaker 1: surrounded her mom's closet, surrounded by her mom's clothing. And
Speaker 1: then she walked into the closet, fallowing her eyes out,
Speaker 1: said she wanted to say something. It's like, Okay, I guess,
Speaker 1: I guess we're gonna go down this road. I thought
Speaker 1: it was gonna be something completely different, but no, apparently
Speaker 1: it's about the prefetcy. Well, the good thing is, Ashlely,
Speaker 1: that decision is left to you and I about when
Speaker 1: we want to have children. And when she goes, she
Speaker 1: goes think about Nancy and Fred. She doesn't think about
Speaker 1: me and Dad. I'm like, I'm pretty are not supposed
Speaker 1: to think of the grand Well, I think they're included
Speaker 1: in the the conversation, but a very minimal amount, you know.
Speaker 1: I think the most important thing is what we want
Speaker 1: to do. Okay, well that's great. Can't wait to go downstairs.
Speaker 1: It should be a good old time, nice family dinner.
Speaker 1: Looking forward to that tonight. Jared sounds like this is
Speaker 1: something that you are fully in control of. Uh, maybe
Speaker 1: amending the situation. You know, all you gotta do is
Speaker 1: start putting some buns in the oven. Uh. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: I don't want to amend the situation right now. Actually
Speaker 1: a higher uh you know, good with the plan that
Speaker 1: we have, and obviously you know, plans change, but we'll see. Uh.
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to go in a different direction.
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna be like, well, Jared, you're
Speaker 1: the one who really decides to like whether you want
Speaker 1: to plant that seed or not. So I think you
Speaker 1: get I think I'm ready to be a godfather, and
Speaker 1: I think that you guys are in a really good spot.
Speaker 1: I think you should just kind of go for it.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll see. I'm sure there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: of babies born from this quarantine. It's gonna you know,
Speaker 1: people are you know, couples are just hanging out with
Speaker 1: each other, you know, don't have much to do. How
Speaker 1: about those nine months ten months from now, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a whole new generation of COVID nineteen babies. I
Speaker 1: kind of agree with you, to be honest, I'm looking
Speaker 1: forward to it. But that'll do it for this book's episode.
Speaker 1: It sounds like Jared naturally have some stuff to go.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, discuss yes, before we go. I just want
Speaker 1: to emphasize to everybody listening, please, please please try to
Speaker 1: remain calm throughout this time. Try to uh have certainly,
Speaker 1: I'm I don't want to say upbeat but try to
Speaker 1: remain as uh you know, find ways to bring peace
Speaker 1: and happiness to your life throughout this time, because we're
Speaker 1: not sure how long quarantine is gonna last. Also, be safe,
Speaker 1: stay inside if you can. Um, you know, take social
Speaker 1: distancing and self isolation serious. UM. I also don't think
Speaker 1: that you should panic or live in fear. Um you know,
Speaker 1: those two are not mutually exclusive. You can take this
Speaker 1: situation very seriously. And also, um, you know, listen to
Speaker 1: the guidelines that the your local and federal government are
Speaker 1: giving you right now. And so that's my two cents.
Speaker 1: Daddy's home anyway. Yeah, so Dad's I guess, so we'll
Speaker 1: we'll see. I don't know what the hell else to
Speaker 1: say about that one. Back to you, Dean, all right,
