Speaker 1: Personally, as one of my best friends wrote in the
Speaker 1: questions for this week's episodes, spill it all came from Ali,
Speaker 1: please spill it all, which she knows everything, so it's
Speaker 1: funny she wrote that. But my boyfriend is back for
Speaker 1: round two. Hello, thanks for coming on again. You're technically
Speaker 1: we're recording this at the same time, so there's not
Speaker 1: a lot of magic here, but episodes This time's a
Speaker 1: little bit different though, so if you missed it. Last week,
Speaker 1: we talked all about our love story and Brayden. Yes,
Speaker 1: we shared his name. You have an identity.
Speaker 2: I'm a real boorer.
Speaker 1: We shared all of that last week's episode and talked
Speaker 1: about his story. We talked about how we met and
Speaker 1: just our kind of favorite moments in our relationship, and
Speaker 1: that one very important question that everybody's been asking. Did
Speaker 1: he like my dog coming on vacation as much as
Speaker 1: I did?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: So all that's over there if you missed it. But
Speaker 1: this one we're going to answer a bunch of listener
Speaker 1: questions because this is a fun way to get to
Speaker 1: know each other via listeners, and I always start out
Speaker 1: with some shout outs, so we've got eg exciting. Can't
Speaker 1: wait to listen to this episode. He so exciting. I
Speaker 1: got a lot of egs. I'm so excited. Oh great,
Speaker 1: now a new favorite. And shout out to you guys.
Speaker 1: You guys are writing your names and stuff. But honestly
Speaker 1: it was typing so fast because there's so many I forgot.
Speaker 1: But that one was from Michelle and Apple Valley. Yay.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy for you, no question, just yay. I
Speaker 1: just want to know everything. Just want to say happy
Speaker 1: for you, Morgan, you deserve it, So happy for you.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of love in here. Y'all are perfect.
Speaker 1: Just be the best version of yourselves, which I think
Speaker 1: we are. Yeah, do you feel that right? You better
Speaker 1: not hurt her in any way. She's amazing.
Speaker 2: I've gotten a lot of those. I know my place.
Speaker 1: Are you gonna hurt me?
Speaker 2: Absolutely no, geez.
Speaker 1: I absolutely love seeing you too. In love and so happy,
Speaker 1: So happy for both of you. Just a million thanks
Speaker 1: for making our girl so happy, Thanks for making our
Speaker 1: girl smile. Just a shout for his confidence even with
Speaker 1: all the haters. Nice, Please thank him for treasuring you
Speaker 1: and being good too, and for you.
Speaker 2: That's sweet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, are the sweet?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I love reading a nice comments and Obviously I've
Speaker 2: known you for this long, but a lot of the
Speaker 2: listeners have known you for far longer, and so the
Speaker 2: appreciation they have of your happiness and your smile and
Speaker 2: just knowing what you've gone through and get to see
Speaker 2: this different side of you, like because I only know
Speaker 2: the side I know, right, So it's really cool to
Speaker 2: see the other side and people love you for it,
Speaker 2: which is really cool.
Speaker 1: Well, now they're starting to love you. Does that feel weird?
Speaker 2: No? Not me?
Speaker 1: Yeah you okay? You ready for some question?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 1: How is it navigating the public eye and maintaining your relationship?
Speaker 1: Do I get away? Miss Debby?
Speaker 2: I don't really, nothing has really changed where I think.
Speaker 2: At first, I was really afraid to like comment on
Speaker 2: your social media because I know that we're trying to
Speaker 2: keep it separate. So I was trying to be Batman secrets.
Speaker 2: I was trying to be Batman living in the shadows.
Speaker 2: So I was just trying to be respectful of you
Speaker 2: because I know you have to navigate stuff differently. I
Speaker 2: wanted to shout from the rooftops that I love you,
Speaker 2: but like, I can't really do that with who you
Speaker 2: are on social media right off the bat didn't want
Speaker 2: to embarrass you.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Dad, And so.
Speaker 2: I don't know, like it's as far as public eye.
Speaker 2: You're in the public eye. I just get to celebrate you,
Speaker 2: you know. So it's easy for me. I get to
Speaker 2: be a one clapping.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But what about when our relationship gets made fun of,
Speaker 1: or things happen on the Bobby Bone Show, or there's
Speaker 1: like negative comments. How do you feel about all of that?
Speaker 2: The real relationship is between you and I when we're
Speaker 2: watching a movie or going on a date or going
Speaker 2: on a walk with remy people want to make fun
Speaker 2: of the happiness that we have, then that's fine. People
Speaker 2: are bored right, Like they're going to sit behind keyboards
Speaker 2: and say stuff, and it's fine. That's probably something I'm
Speaker 2: going to have a skill. I'm going to have to
Speaker 2: learn to let it just kind of roll off. But
Speaker 2: I've been preparing myself for it. I guess it's just
Speaker 2: going to be part of who we are and part
Speaker 2: of our relationship, and let's make it fun and exciting
Speaker 2: instead of being worried about it. And it's going to
Speaker 2: be okay.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. A big part for me, especially
Speaker 1: early on when we were dating, is I would always
Speaker 1: ask him, I'm like, are you okay with this if
Speaker 1: I share this in my show prep? Or are you
Speaker 1: okay if I talk about this? Or how do you
Speaker 1: feel about these posts? And every single time it was
Speaker 1: just like, you just do you. I'm good, Like I'm fine,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to do. You were so confident from
Speaker 1: the very beginning, and I think you have a lot
Speaker 1: of confidence in yourself in general, which is why a
Speaker 1: lot of that is okay and doesn't seem to bother you.
Speaker 1: But there's also a protective layer for me, which is
Speaker 1: I'll get into a little bit later, like why I
Speaker 1: didn't share his identity for a while is just I
Speaker 1: very much mama bear the people that are in my life.
Speaker 1: And it's not that I didn't want to share you
Speaker 1: right away and share in the excitement of everything was happening,
Speaker 1: because it was so exciting and just so like, holy crap,
Speaker 1: what is this real? But it was a protectiveness also,
Speaker 1: like I already started to deeply care about you, and
Speaker 1: I went into the protective mode of Okay, I have
Speaker 1: to protect this person from this place in space that
Speaker 1: he's not familiar with yet. And that was very much
Speaker 1: some of the beginning of our relationship.
Speaker 2: And I really appreciated that for sure, But at the
Speaker 2: same time, I think it my instant love for you
Speaker 2: outweighed what I could imagine people would call me names
Speaker 2: or you know whatever like that. I just didn't care,
Speaker 2: you know, and so you were protecting me, and I
Speaker 2: appreciate that, but it's we have something real here and
Speaker 2: I don't need validation from anyone else.
Speaker 1: I'm an little school girl. How do you feel about
Speaker 1: all the radio conversation happening about you both? It's also
Speaker 1: in the same kind of course of how do you
Speaker 1: handle criticism from the guys about you on the Bobby
Speaker 1: Bunch Show.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I haven't met the guys, So it's like,
Speaker 2: and I understand there's going to be bits about me
Speaker 2: on the show, and that's totally fine. I think once
Speaker 2: they get to know me that they're going to realize
Speaker 2: that I'm just a guy and I deeply care about you,
Speaker 2: and so no, that doesn't bother me. I don't listen
Speaker 2: to the show every day, so usually it's whatever you
Speaker 2: tell me. So maybe there's bits that have been going
Speaker 2: on that I don't even know about.
Speaker 1: About the hair gel, right, you know, about the taking
Speaker 1: me on vacation and so just in general getting criticized
Speaker 1: that you are, you work out so and you wear
Speaker 1: hair gel, which is a comparison to my ex boyfriends
Speaker 1: for reason. Yeah, but beyond maybe the working out and
Speaker 1: having muscles, there isn't much comparison. In my eyes.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 1: I like that, that's my hot eggs. But I keep
Speaker 1: trying to say anybody's listening to me.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, they're like, they're allowed to
Speaker 2: have fun with it, So run with it if that's
Speaker 2: what the people want.
Speaker 1: To scratch that. Speaking of muscles, what is your back routine?
Speaker 2: The back picture, that's what everything really? That was like
Speaker 2: the first.
Speaker 1: That was a soft launch, yeah, breakfast that he made me.
Speaker 1: And although he has a sexy back.
Speaker 2: Well, let's see. So back is always the third workout
Speaker 2: of the week. I isolate it by itself, so it's
Speaker 2: just back. I used to focused on, Yeah, used to
Speaker 2: do back in biceps together, but now only do back, legs, chest,
Speaker 2: back or the first three of the week. And I
Speaker 2: don't really have a routine. I just do whatever I
Speaker 2: want to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which lately has been going on walks with me
Speaker 1: because as of right now, I'm trying to call my
Speaker 1: nervous system in the whole detox and clans I'm doing.
Speaker 1: And this sweet man has been getting up and going
Speaker 1: on walks with me before work because I can't quite
Speaker 1: work out right now while I'm trying to get my
Speaker 1: body to chill the f out.
Speaker 2: And it's good for me because your body needs balance.
Speaker 2: Where I was weightlifting six days a week every.
Speaker 1: Week, and we were together for the beginning portion of
Speaker 1: our relationship, we would go work out together, but.
Speaker 2: Then like you introduced me to hot yoga, and yeah,
Speaker 2: we're going on more walks and we're gonna start playing
Speaker 2: more volleyball together here soon, right, Yeah, yeah, But there's
Speaker 2: different ways to work out. I just when you're single
Speaker 2: and you have all the time in the world, going
Speaker 2: to the gym and working out and just kind of
Speaker 2: putting your headphones in and turning the world off is
Speaker 2: pretty nice. But I don't want to my world off anymore,
Speaker 2: which is just kind of a crazy thing.
Speaker 1: So how many one lighters are you gonna have? That
Speaker 1: maybe the giggle.
Speaker 2: For that time.
Speaker 1: When do you consider adopting a pet together? Jessica asked
Speaker 1: this question.
Speaker 2: Well, we have a very specific schedule with Remy and
Speaker 2: Hazel right now. So sweet Ram cannot be stressed, so
Speaker 2: introducing another animal into the family would not be good
Speaker 2: on her nervous system right now. Hazel is also I
Speaker 2: don't think introducing any more stress to Hazel would help
Speaker 2: her kidneys anymore. And so I think adoption will come
Speaker 2: down the road. But we'll get there when we get there,
Speaker 2: you know, And it's not in the realm of possibilities soon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but hopefully not for like thirty years exactly.
Speaker 2: I was thinking forty five, but thirty good.
Speaker 1: Perfect. Yeah, I'm glad we're on the same page and
Speaker 1: we are at a kind of a halt. He fostered
Speaker 1: with me when I was taking care of the first foster.
Speaker 1: When we had first met Roscoe. He was over here
Speaker 1: a bunch helping me take care of him because he
Speaker 1: was a very special case and I really needed to tackling,
Speaker 1: which I was ready to tackle by myself. But he
Speaker 1: came along and him and Roscoe loved each other. So
Speaker 1: that was a cool moment. Yeah, be digative, feel what
Speaker 1: it was like. And you know, maybe we can foster
Speaker 1: again sometime, but right now not so much.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And Roscoe was fun because he loved us,
Speaker 2: but he also had small things about him where he
Speaker 2: would turn on me quickly. Yeah, And so it was
Speaker 2: learning how to handle situations like that and together and
Speaker 2: staying calm with a dog who is could get angry at.
Speaker 1: The drop of a very reactive yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so that was a really cool learning experience
Speaker 2: for us, kind of parenting a new dog in a
Speaker 2: new relationship, and you learn a lot about someone pretty
Speaker 2: quickly in that situation.
Speaker 1: So that was Yeah, how chaos and stress, It's kind
Speaker 1: of like, here you go, and we did. We managed
Speaker 1: it really well, and Roscoe now has an awesome new
Speaker 1: mom and he's been doing really well.
Speaker 2: So boy, Roscoe, I know you.
Speaker 1: So maybe one day we'll start fostering again. It just
Speaker 1: kind of really depends how Remy and hazelill keep doing. Okay,
Speaker 1: what is your first core memory of Morgan?
Speaker 2: I mean, the first core memory would be you turning
Speaker 2: around because I thought Holly was introducing me to someone
Speaker 2: behind your guys' group for some reason, Like I thought
Speaker 2: she was bringing me over, and you turned around, and
Speaker 2: like instantly I thought you were the most adorable thing
Speaker 2: I'd ever seen in my life. And you turned around
Speaker 2: and you looked at her and like shook your head,
Speaker 2: and then we met ies and it was just like
Speaker 2: that first moment and there was something about you looking
Speaker 2: up at me that was just like made it even
Speaker 2: cuter because I was so old, just andie baby, and
Speaker 2: there was that. And then later that night, when you
Speaker 2: devoured those Mozsreli sticks, that was a warming. It's a
Speaker 2: corn memory.
Speaker 1: I'm so rude. You loved when.
Speaker 2: It was really fun. You were pumped up about those
Speaker 2: moths sticks.
Speaker 1: Yeah. You learned very quickly that I also love cheese
Speaker 1: as much as I loved dogs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and specifically pimento cheese. I think I said
Speaker 2: the words pimento cheese five times total in the past
Speaker 2: ten years, and then since I've met you, it was
Speaker 2: like ten times a day every day.
Speaker 1: You want to tell the pimento cheese story, where that
Speaker 1: like really happened. Do you remember this at the brewery?
Speaker 2: Oh, when you ordered the when we got the pretzels,
Speaker 2: not when.
Speaker 1: We did you don't remember this. So we were sitting
Speaker 1: there and we were having a drink and.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the people sitting next to us got it.
Speaker 1: You got pretzels or fimento cheese, and I just looked
Speaker 1: over and I was like, oh, that has pimento cheese.
Speaker 1: When you just I think this is like our fourth
Speaker 1: and you were just like, okay, pimento cheese.
Speaker 2: Some girl memento cheese.
Speaker 1: And before I knew it, that all came out of
Speaker 1: my body. I think it was my internal thought coming
Speaker 1: out and instead it was an external thought, and you
Speaker 1: learned this girl loves pimento cheese.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: You don't remember that moment. I think my first core
Speaker 1: memory was us really two stepping. I think was the moment,
Speaker 1: which it was so it was so cute. It was
Speaker 1: that whole just kind of middle there where we were
Speaker 1: at the bar. We both admitted we didn't remember each
Speaker 1: other's first names from our introduction, and then it was like,
Speaker 1: let's two step. I was like, oh, he can also dance.
Speaker 1: I like this, nobody ever dances with me. I felt
Speaker 1: very much like this feels like a movie and I'm
Speaker 1: just living my best life, okay, and it kind of
Speaker 1: felt like a fairy tale and just that whole moment.
Speaker 1: But that was where it started for me, because I
Speaker 1: really think up until then I was still annoyed with
Speaker 1: my friends that I was like, we're supposed to have
Speaker 1: a girl's night, and you guys brought this man into
Speaker 1: the picture.
Speaker 2: I didn't night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then the dancne happened and the conversation like
Speaker 1: kept flowing, and that was really where I was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: he's more than just cute. Dang it all right, first impression,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's that the same as for first
Speaker 1: core memory for you. Okay, what about the first impression
Speaker 1: on the first date when we actually went on a
Speaker 1: date together.
Speaker 2: So I'd say on the first date, you were you
Speaker 2: had a very professional sense about you, and we had
Speaker 2: gone from like this fun loving first meeting and then
Speaker 2: our conversation. We did get deep in that first conversation
Speaker 2: on the phone, but you seemed very professional. And then
Speaker 2: the sushi came. Remember the sushi piece, And this sushi piece.
Speaker 1: Was like I was put my best foot for it. Okay.
Speaker 2: It was like that big and You're like, there's no
Speaker 2: way I could fit this in my mouth. I just
Speaker 2: took out my phone. I was like, please try.
Speaker 1: And we have a little mouth. You're little.
Speaker 2: You just you shoved that in your mouth and you
Speaker 2: laughed so hard and it was like you went from
Speaker 2: this professional, and you were like, you were dressed very nice,
Speaker 2: and then you shove this piece of sushi in your mouth,
Speaker 2: and it was like from that point on, we were just
Speaker 2: like being goofy and taking pictures together, and we learned
Speaker 2: that we both really enjoy taking videos and pictures and
Speaker 2: documenting things, especially as a guide. I don't find that annoying.
Speaker 2: We'll take four billion photos to get the right angle.
Speaker 2: I think I turned that sushi, played around and took
Speaker 2: nineteen photos of it, trying to get the white lights
Speaker 2: in the background.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to talk about best ever influencer boyfriend.
Speaker 1: This guy right here. I didn't even have to train
Speaker 1: him a game like that.
Speaker 2: Ready made. That's an aspect of life that I love.
Speaker 2: I love documenting that, and so we learned that we
Speaker 2: both liked doing that. It was really fun and we
Speaker 2: just got to enjoy each other's company while being goofballs.
Speaker 1: It was and honestly, my first impression was like, dang,
Speaker 1: this guy listens to me. This is nice. You listened
Speaker 1: to me with the sunflowers. You listened to me that
Speaker 1: I was vegetarians, So you picked a restaurant that we
Speaker 1: and you ate vegetarian with me. I was just very
Speaker 1: impressed with you as a human being. Honestly, well, thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was like, this is a good human let's.
Speaker 2: How my mom dad made me and just came out
Speaker 2: this way.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, life didn't have any impact whatsoever. Okay, what
Speaker 1: does it? I actually laughed out loud writing this question.
Speaker 1: What does it feel like to be dating a famous
Speaker 1: celebrity like Morgan? Which, mind you, I'm not I'm not okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not a famous celebrity.
Speaker 2: It's so cute that you say that I'm not, like
Speaker 2: but you are.
Speaker 1: But okay, public figure, sure, I'm not a famous celebrity. Anyways,
Speaker 1: please answer this question. I literally wrote lmao next to
Speaker 1: the question.
Speaker 2: I wrote it down. Veronica had a very funny joke today,
Speaker 2: So like, I think it's fun because I know and
Speaker 2: not that you're any different, like when you're doing famous
Speaker 2: people stuff versus just it's you and I like you're
Speaker 2: the same person. But I feel like I get the
Speaker 2: behind the scenes and like I get all the real
Speaker 2: and then the nitty gritty, and I think it's really cool.
Speaker 2: And I've had friends from high school reach out and
Speaker 2: be like, oh my gosh, you're irl guy. You know,
Speaker 2: and so like, moments like that are definitely cool. I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna lie that's a cool aspect of it. But
Speaker 2: at the base of it, I fell in love with you.
Speaker 2: I didn't fall in love with this idea of you,
Speaker 2: and I think that's really special. And I was very
Speaker 2: intentional about that. When we first started dating. I was
Speaker 2: not going to start listening to the Bobby Bone Show.
Speaker 2: I wasn't. I didn't listen to your podcast, I didn't
Speaker 2: snoop on your Instagram. Really made it intentional to just
Speaker 2: get to know you, and I thought that maybe would
Speaker 2: be different than what you had in the past. I
Speaker 2: wasn't sure, but I already had such strong feelings for
Speaker 2: you so early that it was like, I want to
Speaker 2: do everything I can to try to convince her to
Speaker 2: want to keep going on dates with you.
Speaker 1: Convinced me on the first day. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: But I mean you convinced me actually the first time
Speaker 1: we met, and then the phone call, and then the
Speaker 1: first day, and then I was like, Okay, well, I
Speaker 1: guess I'm hanging out with this guy for what he
Speaker 1: thinks is the rest of our lives.
Speaker 2: A long time. Let's go sign me up twice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you. Okay, I feel weird now. What surprised
Speaker 1: you most about Morgan? I'm so happy for you all.
Speaker 2: The I would say, the big surprise was right after
Speaker 2: we got to Lakeside Lounge.
Speaker 1: And you could also entire relationship. You don't have to
Speaker 1: focus the first night if you don't want to, Okay.
Speaker 2: We'll go first first night and then whole relationship. First
Speaker 2: night at Lakeside Lounge. The moment that we both learned
Speaker 2: that we love to nerd out where we talked about
Speaker 2: Marvel and we talked about Harry Potter and we talked
Speaker 2: about Star Wars. That was not something that I thought
Speaker 2: was going to be next in our conversation. It's so
Speaker 2: funny because I had conversations with my little sister about
Speaker 2: what I wanted my next partner to look like, and
Speaker 2: that was one of the things that we had talked about.
Speaker 2: And I was like, I'm nerdy in some ways and
Speaker 2: I want my next partner to be nerdy in those
Speaker 2: ways too, And so that was but that shocked me
Speaker 2: just from the couple hours I had gotten to know you.
Speaker 2: I just didn't think that you'd be so fired up
Speaker 2: about Jedis that quickly. That was very exciting me.
Speaker 1: Brou you mean brood, You mean you want to talk
Speaker 1: about Yoda? You mean you want to talk about Harry Pata.
Speaker 2: We got.
Speaker 1: Yes, we are weird together. We're incredibly weird together. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: we nerded out together and that was very fun.
Speaker 2: But that's a really special part of our relationship ties
Speaker 2: into that vacation that we went on down to Florida,
Speaker 2: Like we can just be two nerds and talk about
Speaker 2: Harry Potter all day and not think twice, and.
Speaker 1: I don't have to hide any of it away. It's
Speaker 1: very nice you let me be a nerd. It was
Speaker 1: really funny too when you mentioned that You're like, I'm
Speaker 1: pretty nerdy. I was like, yeah, I'm really nerdy, and
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, what he thought? I was going to
Speaker 1: be like, I don't even know what you expected me
Speaker 1: to say, but I was like, well, like, I go
Speaker 1: to the movie premires of Marvel and I'm really big
Speaker 1: on Star Wars and also Fodder, and I just kept
Speaker 1: listening him down. I was like, I should probably stop talking.
Speaker 2: But then there's room to grow because like I love
Speaker 2: Lord of the Rings. You're not really crazy about that? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I wasn't really raised in a Star Wars house, Like,
Speaker 2: I'm fine with it. So it's like we're going through
Speaker 2: Star Wars and then we'll eventually go through Lord of
Speaker 2: the Rings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sadly, I thought we talked about this. No, I'm excited.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see why you love it and finally
Speaker 1: give it a chance again after I didn't. So I am.
Speaker 1: I love that part of our relationship.
Speaker 2: You're gonna love the Hobbit. You're probably gonna sleep through
Speaker 2: the Lord of the Rings and.
Speaker 1: That's okay, okay, and you'll accept that. Yeah, okay. Good.
Speaker 1: What is he like as a person. Mister b is kind,
Speaker 1: He's big hearted, he's authentic, he's a very hard worker.
Speaker 1: He's dedicated to his people. He's very fiercely loyal. He
Speaker 1: is That would have been a really good quality on
Speaker 1: the first time we did the interview. I loved that one.
Speaker 1: He's trustworthy and I can always count on him. There's
Speaker 1: never a moment where I can't. And I'm now getting
Speaker 1: to the point where anything good or bad that happens
Speaker 1: to me, or even every little thing. If I got
Speaker 1: to finally eat cheese, I think I would call him
Speaker 1: and tell him it's like you have become my best friend,
Speaker 1: and I just love doing everything with you because you
Speaker 1: also have this adventurous side to you. You can chill
Speaker 1: with me on the couch and most of the time
Speaker 1: pass out, but most of the time also hang out
Speaker 1: with me when you're not passed out, and you're always
Speaker 1: up for trying new things, and you see the world
Speaker 1: very kindly and very bright. And yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: there's just there's really not a lot of things that
Speaker 1: I don't like about you. I could tell you one
Speaker 1: thing he doesn't like about me, though, and it's that
Speaker 1: I like to try and poke his butt all the time.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: It's like there's a target, just a heat seeking missile,
Speaker 3: and it's just at the weirdest times of emptying the
Speaker 3: dishwasher and it's like whoat.
Speaker 1: Or very early on in our relationship, I would stick
Speaker 1: my finger in his mouth when he yawned. He hated that.
Speaker 2: You still do that? You just did that.
Speaker 1: I've tried to be a little bit more sneaky about it,
Speaker 1: so I will unsuspecting.
Speaker 2: And now so you can't get in there.
Speaker 1: Oh you know, I'm not all rainbows and sunshine, but
Speaker 1: he is he's truly he doesn't do any of those
Speaker 1: things to me.
Speaker 2: You enjoy being a goofy menace.
Speaker 1: Like you do.
Speaker 2: Like you just like it.
Speaker 1: I do. You want to talk about my nighttime zwies?
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, And it's like I can feel him coming on.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. There will be nights where we're getting
Speaker 2: settled in for the night and all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: it's like, jump on top, standing over me, just like
Speaker 2: ready to go. And we full out wrestled the other
Speaker 2: night because you had so much energy. I was like,
Speaker 2: I gotta get this out of her.
Speaker 1: I'm like a dog, you have to get my energy out.
Speaker 1: And then it was like a w W wrestling match
Speaker 1: in the living room.
Speaker 2: And then I finally got you in a lock and
Speaker 2: you're like pouted about it, You're like mad, and then
Speaker 2: two seconds later you jump right back on me. Oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, and it's like blowing raspberries on my neck
Speaker 2: and just full, full blown energy blast. Like eleven thirty
Speaker 2: at night, she's like, oh, I have to get up
Speaker 2: so early tomorrow. Boom zoomies, let's go.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I've never had those before in
Speaker 1: my life. It's only with you I think I just
Speaker 1: really like hanging out with you, and I don't want
Speaker 1: the night to end. We'll go that. Yeah, okay, so
Speaker 1: I had to deflect saying to.
Speaker 2: Me, nice things there we go felt weird.
Speaker 1: What are some things that you can love about Morgan
Speaker 1: and favorite things about her besides her weird quirks.
Speaker 2: I think my favorite things about you is it's just
Speaker 2: how you do life, how you look at life. There's
Speaker 2: always I think before we were together, I spent a
Speaker 2: lot of time like either doing something or resting. And
Speaker 2: you are so good at feeling all of your time
Speaker 2: with productive things plus resting a little bit to like
Speaker 2: watch movies and stuff like that. But like our saturdays
Speaker 2: are hot, yoga, going to the farmer's market, like getting
Speaker 2: stuff done, going to the store, food prepping, like so
Speaker 2: you're so on it, and I just I think that
Speaker 2: you fill your time with the stuff that brings you joy.
Speaker 2: And I love doing all those things. And that's been
Speaker 2: something different that I've learned in our relationship of not
Speaker 2: just laying around on a Saturday morning, it's getting stuff done.
Speaker 2: You feel so good at two o'clock in the afternoon
Speaker 2: when you have all your stuff done, so that's something
Speaker 2: that I really love. We love different kinds of music,
Speaker 2: and that's something that's really fun that we also love
Speaker 2: a lot of the same music. But you've introduced me
Speaker 2: to new artist that I didn't even know their name,
Speaker 2: and now I'm like putting the record on when we're clean,
Speaker 2: and that's been really exciting. The nature of your work.
Speaker 2: We get to go to a lot of really fun events,
Speaker 2: and that's all new and shiny and bright to me.
Speaker 2: And I know it's just another event that you're going to,
Speaker 2: but it's all new for me, and so that's really exciting.
Speaker 2: And then down to the emotional level, I've never been
Speaker 2: Something I love about our relationship is I've never been
Speaker 2: cared for. I'm cared for with you. I know that
Speaker 2: you have my back, I know that I can count
Speaker 2: on you for anything. I know I can talk to
Speaker 2: you about anything. I've never communicated the way that we communicate,
Speaker 2: and it just feels so good that we don't because
Speaker 2: we've had a few TIFFs and we communicate and it's
Speaker 2: like we hold each other's hands and it's like, let's
Speaker 2: figure this out together and then it's done. And that's
Speaker 2: a totally new ont for me. Because I shut down
Speaker 2: right like, I go inward. I'm not a yeller. Or
Speaker 2: if I get upset, it doesn't come out, it goes inward,
Speaker 2: and I shut down. And with you, you don't let me
Speaker 2: shut down. And you are such a good communicator that
Speaker 2: you're teaching me how to communicate. And that's a skill
Speaker 2: of a high level relationship. And I love that.
Speaker 1: Did you just cause a high level relationship?
Speaker 2: Well, we are a level relationship.
Speaker 1: Thank you for saying all those nice things.
Speaker 2: I don't even remember the question.
Speaker 1: I know you were yapping. I liked it though. I
Speaker 1: love you being a yapperd You're talking about me like
Speaker 1: it's like one of those memes where you just see
Speaker 1: when he talks about me and I'm just sitting there
Speaker 1: with my eyes little hearts in him. That was me
Speaker 1: as you were just talking, okay, And I think he
Speaker 1: kind of just answered that in that it was Morgan's
Speaker 1: had bad luck with guys? What makes you different? In
Speaker 1: a loving way? Of course, I'm pretty sure you just
Speaker 1: answered that in a whole lot of ways. So it
Speaker 1: was how did I know he was different from the rest?
Speaker 1: And I mean, gosh, just a lot of quality traits.
Speaker 1: But he doesn't give himself enough credit here, but he
Speaker 1: has the emotional intelligence down to an art. He shows
Speaker 1: exactly how he's feeling the support that he provides people.
Speaker 1: He makes you feel calm. He's genuinely like this calming presence.
Speaker 1: There's never been a part of me that didn't want
Speaker 1: to be around you because it's so peaceful, it's so calm.
Speaker 1: It's I want you around all the time because it's
Speaker 1: feel safe, it feels secure, and it's consistent, it's loyal.
Speaker 1: There is no chaos. So you think of something that's
Speaker 1: so calm and peaceful and was like, oh, well, that's
Speaker 1: not fun, and I'm like, no, no, no, this relationship
Speaker 1: is so much fun. And it's so much fun because
Speaker 1: of also how peaceful and calm it is, because we
Speaker 1: can have fun, because we can enjoy each other without chaos,
Speaker 1: and we really get to enjoy each other's company. And honestly,
Speaker 1: a lot of that is just not stuff I've ever known.
Speaker 1: And he's dealt with a lot of my relationship baggage
Speaker 1: that comes out just in spurts because I'll make comments
Speaker 1: and you just be like, hey, look at me, that's
Speaker 1: not happening. I'll be like, well, please, you know, don't
Speaker 1: leave me. And he's like, I'm not leaving, and he
Speaker 1: just sits me down, and it's like he has to
Speaker 1: walk this young Morgan back who learned just so many
Speaker 1: bad things of people. And you in the gentlest way
Speaker 1: I can say this, you handle me very well. You
Speaker 1: handle me like I'm bubble wrapped in a little package
Speaker 1: and you gently untie the bow and you say, hey,
Speaker 1: it's safe to come out. That's how you treat me
Speaker 1: when I'm scared and when I'm not sure how to
Speaker 1: respond to a situation, and when you know things that
Speaker 1: from my past come up and I don't feel secure
Speaker 1: in whatever's happening, you just know how to handle all
Speaker 1: of that really well. Oh I love how you say
Speaker 1: that I'm the one who has all this emotional indulgence.
Speaker 2: Because you do those a really nice compliment. You feeling
Speaker 2: safe is the number one thing that I could ask for,
Speaker 2: right Like, I want to take care of you, I
Speaker 2: want you to feel safe. I want you to be
Speaker 2: open with me. I want all of those things. And
Speaker 2: I feel like I've been pretty intentional of trying to
Speaker 2: create a safe place because I know that your past
Speaker 2: relationships haven't been a safe place, and I'm going to
Speaker 2: be that for you.
Speaker 1: You are that for me. Fikee, how do you deal
Speaker 1: with different diets? Has he tried new foods because of
Speaker 1: you being a vegetarian. We did hit on this a
Speaker 1: little bit last episode, but I'm going to quickly touch
Speaker 1: on this.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean it's nice because I've done so many diets.
Speaker 2: I've done keto, I've done a carb free diet, I've
Speaker 2: done only meat diets. I've been pescatarian. So I've played
Speaker 2: around with how to eat differently, and so now with you,
Speaker 2: and now we're getting into vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free.
Speaker 2: I'm definitely eating different things, but I'm learning from Kara
Speaker 2: how to create delicious meals and like truly cook, not
Speaker 2: just throw stuff together. When I was a vegetarian, it
Speaker 2: was like a bunch of veggies and saute them up
Speaker 2: and that was lunch. But this is a quarter of
Speaker 2: a teaspoon of nutmeg and this and you got to
Speaker 2: roast that for five minutes. And that's a style of
Speaker 2: cooking that I haven't put that much care into those
Speaker 2: types of meals. And so it's really it's fun and
Speaker 2: we really enjoy cooking together, So that's another We'll make
Speaker 2: a few meals at the beginning of the week and
Speaker 2: eat those throughout the week. It's fun and I like it.
Speaker 1: We're pretat going chefs together in the kitchen and.
Speaker 2: We eat good too, It's tasty stuff. We always rank them.
Speaker 2: Where does this ring?
Speaker 1: Yeah? And the Marry Me Took piece are a very
Speaker 1: top contender, the best one so far. Where are you from?
Speaker 1: I'm curious because you're a Steelers fan.
Speaker 2: Yes, so gosh. Born in Maryland, moved to Colorado when
Speaker 2: I was really young, then moved to Florida, and then
Speaker 2: moved up here. But my mom is from Pittsburgh and
Speaker 2: my entire mom's side of the family is black and gold.
Speaker 2: Christmas trees and babies are wrapped in terrible towels. And
Speaker 2: it was always a really fun part of getting together
Speaker 2: with family. And my grandma until the day she passed.
Speaker 2: She had her little Steeler's purse and she had her
Speaker 2: black nikes that had gold swooshes on them, and she'd
Speaker 2: wear Steelers earrings to church John Sunday and it was
Speaker 2: just the Steelers. Football in Pittsburgh was just if you
Speaker 2: lived in Pittsburgh, you love the Steelers. They grew up
Speaker 2: with it. And my dad he worked in Washington, d C.
Speaker 2: So he's always been a Washington fan. And when I
Speaker 2: was a kid, they kind of gave me the choice of, Hey,
Speaker 2: do you want to be a Steelers fan or do
Speaker 2: you want to be a Washington fan? And I like
Speaker 2: the Terrible towels, and I like the black and gold
Speaker 2: Christmas trees, and I like Jerome Bettis and I just
Speaker 2: attached to them. And so it's an ode to buy
Speaker 2: to my mom's family, really.
Speaker 1: And your grandma. You talk about your grandma a lot
Speaker 1: when you reference Steelers.
Speaker 2: Yep, the terrible towel I have. I have lots of
Speaker 2: terrible towels, but the yellow one I have is hers.
Speaker 2: And that was one of the most special pieces that
Speaker 2: I got from her when she passed, was her terrible towel.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that one was hers.
Speaker 2: That's memes.
Speaker 1: That's so sweet. I love that. Okay, Also, do you
Speaker 1: have more than just your what jersey? My fourteen year
Speaker 1: old says, if you're a real fan, you have too.
Speaker 2: Yes, So I have my favorite jersey is my Shazier jersey,
Speaker 2: which you probably don't know. Ryan Chazier was a linebacker
Speaker 2: for the Steelers. Incredible look like he was going to
Speaker 2: be a Hall of Fame linebacker. And he made a
Speaker 2: routine tackle one week and broke his back and he
Speaker 2: was paralyzed, and so purchasing one of his jerseys, half
Speaker 2: the profits go to helping kids who have gone through
Speaker 2: the same thing. So I got a Shazier jersey because
Speaker 2: of that. And also he can't get traded because he
Speaker 2: doesn't play anymore, so I knew that he wasn't going
Speaker 2: to go to a different team. I have a TJ.
Speaker 2: Watt jersey. I have a Najie Harris jersey. So sorry
Speaker 2: to hear about his acl oh. I feel so bad
Speaker 2: for him. And I have a main Joe Green jersey.
Speaker 2: I have a Joey Porter jersey. I have a Bettast jersey.
Speaker 2: That's my other one we.
Speaker 1: Ever lived together. I have a feeling there has to
Speaker 1: be like a closet of Steelers stuff.
Speaker 2: First, cause it a room a room.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to find a bigger place or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I have a Steeler's American flag. I have a Steeler's
Speaker 2: just a regular flag. I was wearing the American flag
Speaker 2: Steelers flag around my neck when I met Frank o'harris,
Speaker 2: who was Hall of Fame running back. I was walking
Speaker 2: into a game in Pittsburgh and he was walking from
Speaker 2: the player's lot into the building and it was about
Speaker 2: ten steps in between where they go and I happen
Speaker 2: to be walking next to him and I took a
Speaker 2: picture with him, and he said, I like your cape, so.
Speaker 1: You low cave. You gotta keep that. You kept that? Okay?
Speaker 1: Are the sports bribes working? So, in case you've missed it,
Speaker 1: he has been bribing me with food to watch the
Speaker 1: Steelers games with him, And yes, I do believe that
Speaker 1: they are working. I think I enjoy hanging out with
Speaker 1: you on Sundays and watching you do something that you love,
Speaker 1: which is being very involved in the game and does
Speaker 1: your whole story of being involved in the Steelers is
Speaker 1: also really cool too, So I love everything about it
Speaker 1: so far. I don't know that I'm quite a sports fan,
Speaker 1: but I do know what's going on on the field,
Speaker 1: and I love saying big third down.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say what's your favorite thing to say.
Speaker 1: Big third down and then yelling at him like why'd
Speaker 1: you do that? There's lots of anxiety. I do think
Speaker 1: they are working. Next question, what do you do for work?
Speaker 1: What industry? He seems very calm.
Speaker 2: It's funny because I went to school to be a
Speaker 2: special education teacher. So in Colorado I ran a day
Speaker 2: program for adults with special needs. Moved down to Florida,
Speaker 2: I ran a coffee shop that employed adults on the
Speaker 2: autism spectrum. When I moved up here, I unexpectedly got
Speaker 2: a job in a field that I had no experience whatsoever.
Speaker 2: But it was kind of a new and fun way
Speaker 2: to learn a new skill. So I'm now the sales manager.
Speaker 2: I work in the golf car industry, and fun fact,
Speaker 2: they are golf cars, not golf carts, which Morgan and
Speaker 2: I have talked about a lot. I have a lot
Speaker 2: of fun tricking out golf carts and working with golf courses,
Speaker 2: and I have a lot of fun with it. And
Speaker 2: I got to learn sales in an environment where I
Speaker 2: wasn't pressured to sell. And the company that I work
Speaker 2: for is awesome and I love it. And I get
Speaker 2: to golf a lot. And I'm terrible at golf, but
Speaker 2: I love getting out there and whacking some balls into
Speaker 2: the woods. It's one of my favorite things to do so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've been trying to get me to golf ever
Speaker 1: since we met. It has yet to happen yet, not intentionally,
Speaker 1: just we haven't had time.
Speaker 2: We need to go to Top Golf. I have that gift card.
Speaker 2: We need to go and get me to go do
Speaker 2: some golfing.
Speaker 1: I was pretty good at Top Golf when we did.
Speaker 1: We went for a charity event. I was pretty good
Speaker 1: that time. But we need go out for an actual
Speaker 1: date night there.
Speaker 2: And you're smoking them that night.
Speaker 1: Just had Top Golf, real golf course. No, okay, but
Speaker 1: I'll be really good at driving the golf cars for you.
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, golf cars.
Speaker 1: What has been your favorite date? He is planned and
Speaker 1: vice versa if you have planned any or favorite adventure together.
Speaker 2: My favorite date is one that's yet to come.
Speaker 1: What is one of the surprises you have planned and
Speaker 1: you just haven't told me for my birthday?
Speaker 2: Yep, so we'll we'll have to do an update episode
Speaker 2: on your birthday celebrations. That day is going to be
Speaker 2: so good.
Speaker 1: Oh, I think my favorite date so far it was
Speaker 1: an unintentioned date, but like also an adventure. It was
Speaker 1: when we a combination of grand Murray trying to catch
Speaker 1: the northern lights and then also watching the sunrise.
Speaker 2: Yes, that was That was a wild like eight hours.
Speaker 1: It very much was. And I made him get up
Speaker 1: very early to go try and catch the northern lights,
Speaker 1: but it didn't happen. So after that happened at one am,
Speaker 1: two hours later, I was waking him up because we
Speaker 1: wanted to watch the sunrise on the beach in Graham
Speaker 1: Ray and we didn't get hardly any sleep. We were
Speaker 1: also driving that day down to Iowa, so it was
Speaker 1: just a long day. But I loved everything about that
Speaker 1: twenty four hours.
Speaker 2: Our whole road trip was like just music and travel
Speaker 2: and adventure and remy and pictures and totally different places,
Speaker 2: going from Chicago to the what were they the Spanish
Speaker 2: mines in Iowa, and it was just like we were
Speaker 2: all over the place. That was if you call that
Speaker 2: a date a road trip, Yeah, that was awesome.
Speaker 1: Have you talked about moving in? Yes, very much so,
Speaker 1: lots of conversations about that.
Speaker 2: I was ready on March twenty.
Speaker 1: Ninth, which is the day that we met. You're just
Speaker 1: ready to move in with a stranger?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh I like her. I want to move in
Speaker 2: with her.
Speaker 1: Yes, I want to do lives. I want to do
Speaker 1: things with her. We have very much had this conversation
Speaker 1: and thanks for going great. So all signs pointing to yes, I.
Speaker 2: Want to do sleepovers with you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think the animals would also love to have you
Speaker 1: for sleepovers. Also side note, if you are hearing Perine
Speaker 1: in the background, it is not mister b or I,
Speaker 1: it is Hazel. She's joined us for now. Does the
Speaker 1: boyfriend have plans to visit every state as well? Because
Speaker 1: that's one of my goals.
Speaker 2: I went through and I did a little map of
Speaker 2: states that I had gone to, and you definitely have
Speaker 2: a lot more checked off, but I think we could.
Speaker 2: I don't have the super desire to hit all of them,
Speaker 2: but I definitely want to hit the states that we
Speaker 2: both haven't been to. And if there's any other things
Speaker 2: that you just can't live without, we would definitely do
Speaker 2: that too. All hit as many states as we need to.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about he loves.
Speaker 1: To travel and he likes doing adventures. But I have
Speaker 1: like specific goals and checklists and bucket lists, and he's
Speaker 1: just like, where shall we go? What should we do?
Speaker 1: It's very much we.
Speaker 2: Work really well that way. We do.
Speaker 1: I like it too. Why did you keep his identity
Speaker 1: a secret? Well, because I had to protect him. There's
Speaker 1: crappy people out there on the internet. I also work
Speaker 1: on a show where we give each other crap for
Speaker 1: everything all the time, so there's just a lot of
Speaker 1: it where I just it is a protectiveness of me
Speaker 1: of not wanting to expose him to the not so
Speaker 1: great parts of my job, which is mean on the
Speaker 1: internet and people judging your life who don't even know you.
Speaker 1: And I just really felt this protectiveness to take care
Speaker 1: of our relationship and also just allow us to have
Speaker 1: our relationship without any outside factors for as long as
Speaker 1: I possibly could, until I got to a point where
Speaker 1: I was all bubbling up inside me and I was like,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about this guy, and I want
Speaker 1: to talk about a relationship. Hence why the podcast happened.
Speaker 1: But I tried really long to withstand that as much
Speaker 1: as possible, just for the sake of privacy and for protectiveness.
Speaker 1: Thanks Mama Bear. When is he proposing?
Speaker 2: I was ready on March.
Speaker 1: You keep okay, it not right. I don't know, guys,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you both want to get married
Speaker 1: and have kids? Both want to get married. We've had
Speaker 1: lots of conversations about kids, both on the same page
Speaker 1: about it where we're like, yes, also no, we could
Speaker 1: go either way, and a lot just a lot of
Speaker 1: conversation about that, really, but we're pretty much on the
Speaker 1: same level of there's just a big question mark there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think in order to have kids you shouldn't
Speaker 2: have questions to be the best parents you can be.
Speaker 2: And I understand things happen and life happens, but if
Speaker 2: you're planning, there shouldn't be a question it should. I
Speaker 2: always say it should be a heck yes or a
Speaker 2: heck no, And right now in our lives, I don't
Speaker 2: think it is either way.
Speaker 1: We both we both admitted that we've never been in
Speaker 1: relationships where we felt that we could be comfortable to
Speaker 1: have the conversation of even having kids or feeling like
Speaker 1: we were gonna marry someone that was going to be
Speaker 1: the right partner for that situation. So we're both also
Speaker 1: just navigating something super new right now, and that's interesting
Speaker 1: for both of us, I think. So we're trying to
Speaker 1: understand what that looks like. And I think both of
Speaker 1: us had kind of put in the back of our
Speaker 1: minds like Okay, maybe we won't ever have kids, and
Speaker 1: then we meet each other and it's like esportially my
Speaker 1: sister having a baby. I was like, ah, okay, maybe
Speaker 1: I do. There's just more questions than answers right now,
Speaker 1: and that's kind of where that sits. But definitely both
Speaker 1: of us want to get married. Yeah on a mountain
Speaker 1: top somewhere, Yes, please, probably with most realistics and cheese.
Speaker 1: Tell us about his tattoo and why is it important
Speaker 1: to him?
Speaker 2: Well, there's a couple that are important. So I have
Speaker 2: one on my shoulder that is for those of you watching,
Speaker 2: it says the only disability in life is a bad attitude.
Speaker 2: And it has the Special Olympics logo made out of
Speaker 2: puzzle pieces. So again, with my degree in special education
Speaker 2: and working with the special needs population. For as long
Speaker 2: as I've done it, I've literally done it since I
Speaker 2: was twelve years old. It's always been a part of me.
Speaker 2: It's always going to be a part part of me.
Speaker 2: And I ended up getting this tattoo when I was
Speaker 2: the program director of a pre vocational program in Denver,
Speaker 2: and I had all the participants at the program pick
Speaker 2: out a puzzle piece and they would say which one
Speaker 2: is theirs, and it's funny because I know that's Dan's
Speaker 2: and I remember that's Matts, and it's cool to have
Speaker 2: everyone I've worked with in my tattoo. And then I
Speaker 2: have another tattoo on on my leg. It says Nova,
Speaker 2: and Nova was my pitbull Dalmatian that I rescued and
Speaker 2: that she was the most honre, beautiful, anre anri girl
Speaker 2: that I had ever met. I loved her with all
Speaker 2: my heart and she was diagnosed with lymphoma and so
Speaker 2: lost her to cancer, and that was one of the
Speaker 2: hardest things I've ever gone through. But I got the
Speaker 2: tattoo on my leg, and I say I did that
Speaker 2: so I can always go on walks with her, and
Speaker 2: so Nova will always be Nova was my Remy, and
Speaker 2: so we get to connect a lot because we both
Speaker 2: had that special soul dog and I just didn't get
Speaker 2: a lot of time with mine and just loved her
Speaker 2: to pieces when I could, and she would bark at
Speaker 2: the clouds and drive me crazy, and I just wish
Speaker 2: I could yell at her one more time for barking
Speaker 2: at the clouds. She was my everything. And so I
Speaker 2: have that tattoo.
Speaker 1: I love when you share stories of her. It always
Speaker 1: it's definitely hard knowing you now, and I wish of
Speaker 1: send this before to you. I wish I could have
Speaker 1: met her, and I wish I could have met you
Speaker 1: with her. And it's probably the one thing that I
Speaker 1: wish I had prior to meeting you.
Speaker 2: You would have loved I would. She was a little
Speaker 2: sweetie pie.
Speaker 1: She was.
Speaker 2: She would come hang out. When I was the program
Speaker 2: director at stepping Stone working with the people with special needs.
Speaker 2: She would come and it's funny because she had so
Speaker 2: much energy, but she'd get around and individual in a
Speaker 2: wheelchair and she would just lightly put her paws up
Speaker 2: and she would rest her chin on their legs and
Speaker 2: dogs know, and it was really cool to see that
Speaker 2: in action because she was wild. And then she'd get
Speaker 2: around my people and she'd chill out and it was
Speaker 2: so fun to watch.
Speaker 1: So I love that so much. What are boundaries you
Speaker 1: guys have set in your relationship that you feel have
Speaker 1: truly helped strengthen you guys as a couple. I think
Speaker 1: something definitely that we've both done is I told him
Speaker 1: very early on how important my friendships were to me,
Speaker 1: and maintaining a lot of the life that I had
Speaker 1: before him, and it was very much like blending our
Speaker 1: two lives together, not me abandoning everything of who I
Speaker 1: am and the things that I love. And both of
Speaker 1: us have really done a great job at that, not
Speaker 1: only doing that, but supporting each other in doing that.
Speaker 1: Even though we love to spend all the possible time
Speaker 1: we can together, we try really hard to maintain a
Speaker 1: lot of those and I think that's been really healthy
Speaker 1: for both of us.
Speaker 2: And it's I think it's a lot easier because I
Speaker 2: love all of your friends that I've met, and I
Speaker 2: feel like you feel the same way about my friends
Speaker 2: that you've met, and so.
Speaker 1: Yes, we your friends are now my friends. But that's fine.
Speaker 2: Yes, I did lose some friends who they went to
Speaker 2: Team Morgan, and then we've kind of blended some of
Speaker 2: our groups, which is really cool. Yeah, like when we'll
Speaker 2: see stories and friends are out on boats together and
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, that's so cool that they like each
Speaker 2: other's company enough that they go and hang out. That's
Speaker 2: really fun. But yeah, so keeping friendships and staying true
Speaker 2: to who you are definitely something we focused on. I
Speaker 2: think we've been really great on communication and just in general,
Speaker 2: I mean I touched on that earlier, but our communication
Speaker 2: style is just something I could have never dreamed of,
Speaker 2: and I think that's really important in our relationship. And
Speaker 2: part of that is being able to communicate your wants
Speaker 2: and needs and non negotiables and stuff like that. And
Speaker 2: I kind of had the same thing with staying true
Speaker 2: to myself and who I am. And I know a
Speaker 2: big thing has been football, and football means a lot
Speaker 2: more than just football to me. It's family, it's who
Speaker 2: I am, and it's something that I think has been
Speaker 2: suppressed in the past. And so being able to really
Speaker 2: just enjoy something that just brings me joy nothing else, like,
Speaker 2: it's just something that makes me happy. And you being
Speaker 2: open and even though I know you don't love football,
Speaker 2: but you'll sit there and you know, you'll have the
Speaker 2: snacks with me and you'll commentate on the game.
Speaker 1: And I also play Renegade for him when the game
Speaker 1: is not going well. There you go.
Speaker 2: Renegade is the Steelers the pump up song during the
Speaker 2: third quarter. And so yeah, playing Renegade is a big
Speaker 2: part of Sunday mornings and it's just it's fun to
Speaker 2: keep that piece of me and keeping my friends is
Speaker 2: important too. I think it's maintaining who we both are
Speaker 2: while coming together and creating a life together. And that's
Speaker 2: something we've done really well.
Speaker 1: And owning both of our past stuff. Neither one of
Speaker 1: us had shied away from the things that we've gone
Speaker 1: through and the things that we feel and the baggage
Speaker 1: we're carrying with us. We just both owned it and
Speaker 1: ran headfirst into this and that's where we are. I
Speaker 1: think it's very good. Okay, we're going to end on
Speaker 1: the last one, mostly because the cameras are going to die,
Speaker 1: so we got to wrap up so to answer this
Speaker 1: one quickly, and we're going to do another one. Thanks
Speaker 1: for making our work so happy. What your advice for
Speaker 1: being a good partner.
Speaker 2: I think we've heard it. It's listen to your partner
Speaker 2: and care about what they're talking about, care about their
Speaker 2: wants and needs, listening does wonders okay?
Speaker 1: And is Morgan the one?
Speaker 2: Absolutely one? She is the one for me. I am
Speaker 2: so in love. It is crazy. Oh gosh, I want
Speaker 2: to shout it from the rooftops.
