<v Speaker 2>feeling very in the spirit of just all things. Baby.

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.840

0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 2>so I'm gonna be real, real, real right now. I

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 2>on my Instagram used to like when you go to

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 2>the explore page, it was like full of useless information

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.720
<v Speaker 2>about like who's breaking up with who? Who just made

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 2>one hundred million dollars off of what? And I was like,

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, I need to change the algorithm. Like I'm

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 2>feeling very motherly and all I want to see on

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 2>my Explore page are puppies and hedgehogs and babies. So,

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:37.040
<v Speaker 2>you guys, for like four hours straight over my birthday weekend,

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 2>I literally just looked through images of baby hedgehogs, babies,

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 2>puppies and liked all these images. So now when you

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 2>go to my explore page on Instagram, that's all you see.

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea what's happening on the planet except

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 2>for what these little puppies have done all day long.

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 2>It's the best. I feel great about it.

0:01:58.320 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 1>What's a hedgehog?

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 2>They're like almost looks like a baby porcupine.

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 1>So it's just one of your little cute pages. It's

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 1>so cute because you stalk dogs, Dailey, I know that

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>now it's.

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 2>And you know what, I'm totally I have come to

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>the realization that my baby will never be as cute

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 2>as a little baby puppy. It is what it is.

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't think anybody.

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.079
<v Speaker 1>My god, No, I don't think my god, oh my god,

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 1>oh my guess what.

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm also going to tell you this, your baby will

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 2>never be as cute as a little baby puppy.

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to disagree. I'm gonna I'm gonna disagree, laughing disagree. True,

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 1>this is bullshit.

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Look up a little baby lab or golden retriever, and

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 2>you tell me you have seen a baby, but you.

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Just tell me. Want you to look at me in

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 1>the face right now and just say that you've just

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 1>told the world aka your fans, yeah, that our baby

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 1>will never be.

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 2>As I'm also telling them about won't be as cute.

0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, no baby ever will be as cute

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 2>as a little puppy.

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>I am pivoting right now to this conversation and I

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>am leaving it at this Our baby, but it will,

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>our baby will be cuter than any damn dog ever

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:10.079
<v Speaker 1>on this.

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Planet once I see it. Look, look at my mom,

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Lisa Goes. Both of us are dog people. I thought

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>even Lisa Vanner Pump would be like, there's no baby.

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, moving on, I'm done with this conversation. What I

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>do want to talk about. What I do want to

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:29.360
<v Speaker 1>talk about. Zala's very dramatic. There was a cord that

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 1>bothered her, so she flicked it away like she was

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 1>protecting us from the army.

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Because since I got prego, I feel like my eyes

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 2>are sensitive. My hearing is that everything's just heightened, so

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.080
<v Speaker 2>like little buzzing noises. I'm like, what is it? What

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 2>is that. Okay, I want the light is just too bright.

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about it from the other side

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>of the coin. Yeah, since you've been pregnant, you have

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.360
<v Speaker 1>had that what they call that glow, that happiness you have.

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I've seen that. The other side of that, the other

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 1>side of that gloat. Now, the other side of that

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:05.119
<v Speaker 1>clowe is the hormones are an overdrive.

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh.

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean when I say overdrive, I'm being kind. Yeah,

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>why don't you share the level of hormones that you're

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:16.479
<v Speaker 1>feeling as a expecting mother? Just how are you different

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.159
<v Speaker 1>in these ten weeks do you feel you know, so

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 1>future mothers and other mothers that have been through this,

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, how are you dealing with the hormones?

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think that this is you asking that even

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:33.479
<v Speaker 2>though it's like something that in this very moment, we

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 2>can be like, your hormones are crazy. I think it's

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 2>really important for us to talk about the fact that

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 2>that's why I brought it up. You're my hormones are

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 2>out of whack. And I would be lying if I

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 2>said I wake up and I think that life is

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 2>just awesome and I'm pregnant and I'm going to be

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 2>a mom right, I wake up and I'm like, I'm

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 2>really sad and I feel depressed, and I need to

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 2>talk to somebody. And then I'll go through the day

0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 2>and I kind of start, you know, reminding myself or

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 2>trying to like, you're very lucky, you're very blessed. And

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 2>even though I know these things, hormones are a very

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:07.560
<v Speaker 2>tricky thing.

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 1>And they're powerful, and then they yes, and I and

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I want to add that just because you are healthy,

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 1>thank God, and you you know, have a roof over

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:20.039
<v Speaker 1>your head and all those things, hormones are a real

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 1>thing and you aren't going through that. And it's and I,

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>being your partner, watched you more so than normal. Let's

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 1>call it really struggle a little bit with the ups

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 1>and downs, you know, high low, high low. And I

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>just want people to know, and I want you to know.

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 1>But I tell you this already, is that it's okay

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 1>and that we're in it together. You know, this is

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 1>just how it is. And at the end of the day,

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.720
<v Speaker 1>it's I think it's okay to feel the way you're feeling.

0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, And I just feel for any anybody who's going

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 2>through this pregnant. I know that a lot of women

0:05:55.240 --> 0:06:00.159
<v Speaker 2>suffer from postpartum. I'm in it, so this is like, Wow,

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 2>why am I feeling this way when like, I have

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.520
<v Speaker 2>a life inside of me and this is so awesome,

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:09.039
<v Speaker 2>Like why do I feel upset? I don't think, but

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 2>I feel for women who when when I hear about

0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 2>these stories now going through it. It can become torturous

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.360
<v Speaker 2>to be inside of your own mind in those moments

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.920
<v Speaker 2>when your hormones just really are kicking your ass. So

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm no doctor, but I want people to know if

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 2>you are going through something like this, to definitely reach

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 2>out to someone and talk to somebody. I find a

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 2>lot of comfort in talking to my mom. My doctor

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 2>also knows that I'm you know, up and down frequently.

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.719
<v Speaker 2>I haven't come to the conclusion of I should be

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:52.360
<v Speaker 2>back on It's pretty known that I take anxiety and

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:56.360
<v Speaker 2>depression medication. I stopped taking it once I got pregnant

0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 2>because I was so worried, and now that my hormones

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.560
<v Speaker 2>are out of you know, it's funky. I don't. I

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 2>don't want to be on a prescription right now with

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:06.919
<v Speaker 2>this new life inside of me. I just I'm like,

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.159
<v Speaker 2>if I can talk through these and you're telling me

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 2>my hormones are just out of whack and I can

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 2>get through this. Let's stick to that script for now.

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, And I think it's important also the fact you

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>can acknowledge just take away, you know, just just living

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 1>right now in the moment. And I've been with you

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>a long time. Now you are it's your I mean,

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.320
<v Speaker 1>your hormones obviously are playing a huge trick on you.

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>They're sending you up, they're sending you down. Yeah, I

0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 1>actually equate it, you know, watching you and somebody who

0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:40.360
<v Speaker 1>loves you so much doesn't want to see obviously you

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, but it's like a washing machine. It's like

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 1>you're bouncing like you know, you'll get settled for a second,

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 1>we'll get quiet and then boom, you know, and it's

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 1>in its little things that are sending you, you know,

0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>up and down. So at the end of the day,

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I keep telling you when I when I call you,

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I tell you it's okay, and we'll get through it.

0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're going to have some tough days, tougher days.

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 1>And at the end of the day, though, I always

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 1>try to remind you that you know, you're you're growing

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 1>a beautiful soul inside you and in six months, We're

0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a baby. So we just gotta you know,

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 1>we just gotta hang in there.

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Which is so crazy because I think about it and

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm like when I go to the doctor's office and

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:23.120
<v Speaker 2>she has like just walls of newborn babies that she

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 2>has delivered, and I'm like, oh, this is just the

0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:30.040
<v Speaker 2>best place ever. But then I'll go home, take a

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 2>nap and wake up and I'm like, my freedom is

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 2>gonna be gone soon. It is such like a mind

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.200
<v Speaker 2>f wait. So I'm gonna try to stop cursing as

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.280
<v Speaker 2>much because I'm going to be a mom soon. Okay,

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 2>don't but don't don't count on it.

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.079
<v Speaker 1>But let me tell you. But let me tell you something.

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.080
<v Speaker 1>What First of all, I did tell you that when

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.959
<v Speaker 1>that baby comes, the running out of the house quickly

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.040
<v Speaker 1>and is that's that's over.

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.840
<v Speaker 2>But I know, but I'm so addicted to things that

0:08:57.880 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 2>I love. Like I think about how I was with

0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 2>my dog and it was like we were running together,

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, we were like little soldiers. So that she's

0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.040
<v Speaker 2>gonna be me and my boo, my baby, I love it.

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's gonna be an issue. I mean,

0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you treat your dog like a child. So

0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 1>this is just a step up. It talks back. That's

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the only difference.

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm looking forward to.

0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.560
<v Speaker 1>That, like how I said it. Yeah, okay, so the

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 1>next step in our little baby because we're gonna, We're gonna.

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to start a regular segment on it.

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 2>Wait, was that the first thing? Hold on now, because

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.080
<v Speaker 2>you're I know you're going to bring up the gender reveal.

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:36.800
<v Speaker 2>You posted the sonogram picture? Was that the first sonogram

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:40.160
<v Speaker 2>picture you've posted? I think so, dude, he's felling so

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.199
<v Speaker 2>much tea. I haven't posted, not.

0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:46.680
<v Speaker 1>One, but I only have twelve followers, so it's kind

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 1>of like.

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:48.320
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of cute.

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I like it, and you like and don't you like that?

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I am so into it. I mean that's very cool.

0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Of course I love that part. Anyway, I didn't mean

0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:55.319
<v Speaker 2>to cut you off.

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh you did, But but the thing is, I cut

0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:58.719
<v Speaker 1>you off for the last twenty episodes, so you you

0:09:58.720 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of cutting off to do to me.

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.839
<v Speaker 1>I just want to say that you you just went

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 1>to the doctor today. I was on FaceTime with you

0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.960
<v Speaker 1>today and you gave blood. So this today. I want

0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 1>to do a baby update every episode, so that the

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.520
<v Speaker 1>baby update, I will give it and then you will

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:15.319
<v Speaker 1>confirm it.

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:17.959
<v Speaker 1>The baby update is because Lola won't tell you guys

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 1>that shit, so I'm just going to do it. The

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.760
<v Speaker 1>baby update is she went to the doctor today, she

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.680
<v Speaker 1>gave blood, and that is for us to know the

0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>gender correct or and correct that is correct.

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:32.119
<v Speaker 2>But more importantly, it's to see if there's down syndrome

0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.000
<v Speaker 2>and you know things that that's the most important.

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so share that, share what that test was today.

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 2>So it's just a check to see that the baby

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:41.240
<v Speaker 2>is healthy.

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 2>You know there's obviously things you cannot test for when

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 2>it comes out, but a lot lucky enough that science

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.960
<v Speaker 2>has allowed us to know if your child will have

0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:51.600
<v Speaker 2>downs or not.

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 1>So there's probably like there's a lot of things they

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>can take out of the equation.

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:56.200
<v Speaker 3>Correct.

0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 2>The gender is the fun aspect.

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.440
<v Speaker 1>It was a serious tap, but the gender is the

0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 1>fun part of it.

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the gender is the most fun. The other stuff

0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 2>is kind of you're a little bit nervous until you.

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Now, I'm not tell our fans something.

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:14.240
<v Speaker 1>So the next episode, which will be the baby update episode,

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 1>that the big baby update episode, will be at that

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 1>point we will know the gender of our child. So

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:21.640
<v Speaker 1>when you're sitting.

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.240
<v Speaker 2>There, oh my gosh, it's so weird.

0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:25.960
<v Speaker 1>So when you're sitting here looking at me, you know

0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 1>you're going to know for the rest of your life

<v Speaker 1>whether or not you'll be raising a son or a daughter.

0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 1>So this so the episode goes from as you refer

<v Speaker 1>She doesn't let me, let me a squid, a baby,

<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, that's heavy. Oh my god. That is

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:05.960
<v Speaker 2>a large task to take on, a big responsibility, which.

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.119
<v Speaker 1>From that point the following episode, we will be updating

0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:15.160

<v Speaker 1>called me. I was like, we cannot do this now,

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.360
<v Speaker 1>we must do it next year. I'm boat we pushed

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 1>the next year. So I just want to hear your experience,

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.480
<v Speaker 1>like was that the projected real date or did you

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.480
<v Speaker 1>have to move it or did you just improvise?

0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 3>No, No, I am like hippie vibes, Like I was like,

0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:37.240
<v Speaker 3>you know what, COVID is a good excuse not to

0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:38.520

<v Speaker 3>but no, I just wanted something small. It was going

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 3>to be like this, no matter about if it was

0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 3>COVID or not, you know what I mean. So like it.

0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.120

<v Speaker 3>people you know that are older in my family, just

0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:02.400

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I know, in Mexico, in Mexico, and it was

0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:18.439
<v Speaker 3>like the most I don't know, it's like our little

0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 3>secret spot that I don't want to like say right now,

0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.439

<v Speaker 3>with him. And we disappeared in Mexico for like a month,

0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:37.840
<v Speaker 3>and then the last week we invited like twelve people

0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.680
<v Speaker 3>and they came and stayed with us in the villa,

0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:44.800
<v Speaker 3>and I created the wedding in the month that I

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.480
<v Speaker 3>was there by just meeting people and saying, hey, you

0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:50.920
<v Speaker 3>think I could get married here and they're like, yeah, sure,

0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.359
<v Speaker 3>Like it was just like that. I hired local people.

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:57.399
<v Speaker 3>I just flew out my photographer and one of my

0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.639
<v Speaker 3>best friends is my makeup artist, Elena. So that was

<v Speaker 2>at all. And can I tell you there is no

0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:17.560
<v Speaker 2>culture that I adore more than Mexican culture. I like,

0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:21.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm obsessed with it. So I can only imagine the

0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:25.280
<v Speaker 2>love and the passion and the fun that went down

0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:26.840
<v Speaker 2>during that time.

0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:32.360

<v Speaker 1>Everybody say what you want here.

0:27:23.720 --> 0:27:25.840
<v Speaker 3>He was just like, you know, being an adult is

0:27:25.880 --> 0:27:28.720
<v Speaker 3>not easy. Just don't come back. And I was like, fine, mom,

0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:31.120
<v Speaker 3>my ride is outside. It was like a Honda Civic.

0:27:31.119 --> 0:27:33.479
<v Speaker 3>I was mad and pressed and as I didn't have

0:27:33.520 --> 0:27:36.560
<v Speaker 3>a ride, so I was just like cool, long story short,

0:27:36.640 --> 0:27:39.080
<v Speaker 3>is it? That fucking ride got me into a major

0:27:39.160 --> 0:27:43.520
<v Speaker 3>car accident And like at sixteen, like I like flew

0:27:43.600 --> 0:27:45.520
<v Speaker 3>out of the car because I wasn't wearing a seapot

0:27:45.560 --> 0:27:48.600
<v Speaker 3>and I had immediate like brain surgery and you know,

0:27:49.200 --> 0:27:52.119
<v Speaker 3>a coma. I wasn't gonna live and then like I

0:27:52.280 --> 0:27:56.879
<v Speaker 3>random left. Yeah, So, like I talked about it in

0:27:56.960 --> 0:27:59.760
<v Speaker 3>my album and I have a song called Melly sixteen

0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:01.880
<v Speaker 3>because there was this little girl in a wheelchair who

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:04.240
<v Speaker 3>like came up to me and was like, you're so

0:28:04.359 --> 0:28:06.560
<v Speaker 3>pretty when I had like a shaved head and like

0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:11.040
<v Speaker 3>pretty much not a face, and that just changed my life.

0:28:11.160 --> 0:28:15.119
<v Speaker 3>So I dedicated my song to her, and she's in

0:28:15.359 --> 0:28:18.879
<v Speaker 3>my actual music video which is called Melly sixteen and

0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:22.040
<v Speaker 3>my album. So yeah, so that's really how it all

0:28:22.080 --> 0:28:24.239
<v Speaker 3>started kind of, and like I kind of gave up

0:28:24.240 --> 0:28:27.800
<v Speaker 3>on acting because in Hollywood, you know, they're just used

0:28:27.840 --> 0:28:31.440
<v Speaker 3>to seeing like maybe the Mexican like look and there,

0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:34.639
<v Speaker 3>they don't really understand that Caribbean we're just mixed with

0:28:34.720 --> 0:28:39.760
<v Speaker 3>like Africa and indigenous and you know, Spanish, so like

0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:42.120
<v Speaker 3>we look different, and all of us look all different,

0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:45.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, colors, So they didn't really understand why I

0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:47.680
<v Speaker 3>had this long, curly hair and I could speak fluent

0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:50.520
<v Speaker 3>Spanish and I didn't look Mexican, you know. So that's

0:28:50.560 --> 0:28:54.520
<v Speaker 3>why I gave up on acting. Wow, focus on music. Yeah,

0:28:54.520 --> 0:28:55.960
<v Speaker 3>and music brought me to New York.

0:28:56.080 --> 0:28:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So what how old were you when you went

0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:00.720
<v Speaker 2>to New York for music?

0:29:00.840 --> 0:29:03.520
<v Speaker 3>So I went to New York for music, maybe twenty three,

0:29:04.120 --> 0:29:06.400
<v Speaker 3>and I gave up acting and I started at fifteen.

0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:08.000
<v Speaker 3>Imagine I had my car accident.

0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:10.320
<v Speaker 1>What a loss to our community? You know what I mean?

0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:12.960
<v Speaker 1>You waitning, I mean, I'm saying. I'm serious. You don't

0:29:13.080 --> 0:29:15.360
<v Speaker 1>at that time, Like at that time, you decide you

0:29:15.480 --> 0:29:17.680
<v Speaker 1>just get down because of the opportunity. You don't feel

0:29:17.680 --> 0:29:20.040
<v Speaker 1>as there. You go to New York and then you

0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:22.760
<v Speaker 1>get into the music scene, right what you're already into.

0:29:22.800 --> 0:29:24.719
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, now, what happens in New York? Well,

0:29:24.720 --> 0:29:26.760
<v Speaker 1>you know what, let's say, quick break, We're gonna come

0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:29.320
<v Speaker 1>right back at two seconds. Now, I want to hear

0:29:29.360 --> 0:29:30.360
<v Speaker 1>all of this. This is awesome.

0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:36.920
<v Speaker 2>We're back with Jackie Cruz. Okay, so you are now

0:29:36.960 --> 0:29:40.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty three at this time and you're in New York

0:29:41.280 --> 0:29:46.560
<v Speaker 2>doing music. Now, tell me did people understand more of

0:29:46.680 --> 0:29:52.479
<v Speaker 2>like because I know that New York now has a

0:29:52.720 --> 0:29:57.400
<v Speaker 2>very heavy dr population. Were they more receptive of where

0:29:57.440 --> 0:30:01.000
<v Speaker 2>you come from? They always had it right, yeah, New York,

0:30:01.160 --> 0:30:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Like I.

0:30:01.560 --> 0:30:04.280
<v Speaker 3>Was born in Queens, Like New York always has the

0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:07.880
<v Speaker 3>Dominican the Puerto Rican like okay, really heavy. But it

0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:10.640
<v Speaker 3>was like, you know, the movies are made in California, you.

0:30:10.600 --> 0:30:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Know, but you probably, I mean you come out to

0:30:12.840 --> 0:30:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Californian you probably felt like there was no place for you.

0:30:15.760 --> 0:30:17.400
<v Speaker 2>People didn't understand like where you're.

0:30:17.200 --> 0:30:20.080
<v Speaker 3>At because remember that I'm coming from the Dominican Republic,

0:30:20.120 --> 0:30:22.719
<v Speaker 3>and right when you're this little girl and watch TV,

0:30:22.840 --> 0:30:25.240
<v Speaker 3>you just think of Hollywood, you know, totally you don't

0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:28.240
<v Speaker 3>think of like New York. Which that's why I said

0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 3>I was probably the only Dominican who didn't move to

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:33.280
<v Speaker 3>New York and was in California, right, Right.

0:30:33.800 --> 0:30:35.680
<v Speaker 2>So when you got to New York, did you feel

0:30:35.720 --> 0:30:39.400
<v Speaker 2>like like I'm home, I feel comfortable and content here.

0:30:39.840 --> 0:30:44.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Because like there was also like a Broadway show

0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:46.520
<v Speaker 3>called In the Heights and they were all about like

0:30:46.560 --> 0:30:47.680
<v Speaker 3>it's a Dominican story.

0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Do you know that my friend Do you know that

0:30:49.400 --> 0:30:52.080
<v Speaker 1>my friend Andrea Burns was in in the Heights?

0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:52.680
<v Speaker 3>Really?

<v Speaker 1>I just I just want to tell you one thing.

0:32:11.160 --> 0:32:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Noah and Jason and Noah always just like our buddy

0:32:15.440 --> 0:32:18.160
<v Speaker 1>David Grutman in Miami. You know those are just yeah,

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:20.719
<v Speaker 1>me too. Yeah, but I'm saying those are like people.

0:32:20.800 --> 0:32:23.600
<v Speaker 1>They're like they are on top of the world. And

0:32:23.680 --> 0:32:26.040
<v Speaker 1>even when I was coming up and didn't have much,

0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:29.280
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure you felt the same, they treated me

0:32:29.360 --> 0:32:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the same as they treat me today as they did

0:32:31.320 --> 0:32:32.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty something years ago.

0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:35.840
<v Speaker 3>So I lacktly when I was a waitress for them,

0:32:36.400 --> 0:32:39.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, like I was his friend first, then I

0:32:39.400 --> 0:32:41.640
<v Speaker 3>was his waitress and then you know, I can't really

0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:43.400
<v Speaker 3>hang out with them too much because of you know,

0:32:43.480 --> 0:32:47.160
<v Speaker 3>work issues. But then but they were still always respectful.

0:32:47.240 --> 0:32:49.440
<v Speaker 3>They believed in me. They were you know, Melissa was

0:32:49.480 --> 0:32:53.080
<v Speaker 3>my friends. And then now like shit, they get me tables,

0:32:53.120 --> 0:32:55.959
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean, Like they're the best. And

0:32:56.000 --> 0:32:58.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, Dave Grutman is the one who gave me

0:32:58.280 --> 0:33:01.360
<v Speaker 3>my first well he recommended me for my first waitressing

0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:02.240
<v Speaker 3>job in Miami.

0:33:02.440 --> 0:33:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, that's amazing. And they probably all knew that

0:33:05.560 --> 0:33:08.000
<v Speaker 2>you were gonna be someone great someday. And it feels

0:33:08.040 --> 0:33:11.600
<v Speaker 2>good when people who who see celebrities all the time

0:33:12.160 --> 0:33:14.200
<v Speaker 2>and then they look at you and you like, you know,

0:33:14.240 --> 0:33:16.520
<v Speaker 2>you haven't quite made it yet, and they're like, you're

0:33:16.520 --> 0:33:18.520
<v Speaker 2>gonna make it one day. You're like, damn, you.

0:33:18.520 --> 0:33:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Really think so? But it shows their character, don't Yeah.

0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:23.280
<v Speaker 3>And it just makes you believe that you are, you know.

0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:26.720
<v Speaker 3>So like that's why I give him so much credit. Literally,

0:33:26.840 --> 0:33:29.160
<v Speaker 3>he could be busy as hell and he'll always text.

0:33:29.200 --> 0:33:31.479
<v Speaker 3>So I always got to give a shout out to

0:33:31.480 --> 0:33:33.440
<v Speaker 3>my people because let me tell you something. I was

0:33:33.480 --> 0:33:36.760
<v Speaker 3>working as a waitress season one, two and three at

0:33:36.880 --> 0:33:40.040
<v Speaker 3>Lavo before I got fired. But we'll talk about that late.

0:33:41.320 --> 0:33:44.760
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, like you know what I mean, Like Orange

0:33:44.800 --> 0:33:48.320
<v Speaker 3>didn't pay me until later on until you know, the

0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:50.480
<v Speaker 3>show kicked off and they were like, oh, we got

0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:53.040
<v Speaker 3>something here. And it was a test, you know. The

0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:55.080
<v Speaker 3>first season was a test and they picked out the

0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:58.200
<v Speaker 3>people they wanted to write for. But the reason why

0:33:58.200 --> 0:34:00.800
<v Speaker 3>I got the show was because I missed, you know, acting,

0:34:01.080 --> 0:34:03.320
<v Speaker 3>and one of the girls had a manager and she

0:34:03.600 --> 0:34:06.400
<v Speaker 3>was like, see my manager, and the manager's like cool.

0:34:06.800 --> 0:34:10.800
<v Speaker 3>And my first audition was for Flaka. And there's also

0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:13.160
<v Speaker 3>another girl that worked with me that was like this

0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:16.360
<v Speaker 3>feisty Latina uh and I'm gonna color out Karina.

0:34:16.440 --> 0:34:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I love you.

0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:20.839
<v Speaker 3>She would get that crazy and like I would imitate her.

0:34:21.000 --> 0:34:23.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, I was like, don't fuck with my three m's,

0:34:23.840 --> 0:34:26.520
<v Speaker 3>my mama, my man. She said, my mama, my man,

0:34:26.640 --> 0:34:29.600
<v Speaker 3>and my money. You fuck with my money to that bitch.

0:34:29.880 --> 0:34:32.400
<v Speaker 3>She would literally talk like that right, Oh my god.

0:34:32.440 --> 0:34:35.320
<v Speaker 3>I love her, And then she would have a crush

0:34:35.360 --> 0:34:37.400
<v Speaker 3>on the like manager and she's like I saw you

0:34:37.520 --> 0:34:39.680
<v Speaker 3>talking to my man. I was like, girl, he's just

0:34:39.719 --> 0:34:43.239
<v Speaker 3>teaching me how to use like micros and she's like, oh,

0:34:43.360 --> 0:34:46.480
<v Speaker 3>did you say anything about me? Like she's fucking nuts.

0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:50.320
<v Speaker 3>So like when I auditioned for Flaka, it was Karina

0:34:50.360 --> 0:34:51.719
<v Speaker 3>that I was like embodying.

0:34:51.960 --> 0:34:55.040
<v Speaker 2>No, you're channeling a girl that you knew from Like

0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:59.799
<v Speaker 2>that's awesome, Yes, yes, that's my girl, yo.

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:03.600
<v Speaker 3>And now she's she finished high school. You know, she

0:35:03.680 --> 0:35:07.160
<v Speaker 3>had a tough upbringing, but like she's living her dream

0:35:07.200 --> 0:35:10.680
<v Speaker 3>right now, and I call her like Flacka's future, you know, yeah,

0:35:10.840 --> 0:35:14.919
<v Speaker 3>because you know she got out of the of that world, right.

0:35:15.719 --> 0:35:18.920
<v Speaker 2>I think everyone fell in love with you when you

0:35:19.080 --> 0:35:23.240
<v Speaker 2>stepped onto Orange is the New Black, because every time

0:35:23.560 --> 0:35:27.200
<v Speaker 2>you stepped onto the screen, it was like you were

0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:31.160
<v Speaker 2>just infatuated with what you brought to that character. I'm

0:35:31.200 --> 0:35:34.560
<v Speaker 2>being dead serious. I remember I first started watching Orange

0:35:34.600 --> 0:35:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Is the New Black when I moved to LA seven

0:35:38.239 --> 0:35:41.480
<v Speaker 2>years ago. I don't remember how many seasons y'all had

0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:44.359
<v Speaker 2>at that time, but I just remember I was like,

0:35:44.719 --> 0:35:48.440
<v Speaker 2>this show is single handedly making me feel like I'm

0:35:48.440 --> 0:35:50.760
<v Speaker 2>gonna make shit happen out here. Like I don't know how,

0:35:51.160 --> 0:35:52.920
<v Speaker 2>but I'm feeling less depressed.

0:35:53.239 --> 0:35:56.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because we're finally we see like us kind of

0:35:56.600 --> 0:35:59.279
<v Speaker 3>like we get to see us on TV, which we

0:35:59.320 --> 0:36:01.480
<v Speaker 3>don't usually see right.

0:36:01.320 --> 0:36:04.960
<v Speaker 2>In the backstories of everybody, Like I think Jenji Cohen

0:36:05.080 --> 0:36:09.719
<v Speaker 2>is just absolutely fucking brilliant. I mean that had to

0:36:09.719 --> 0:36:12.080
<v Speaker 2>be just like it's surreal moment when they're like, oh,

0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:14.239
<v Speaker 2>by the way, like we are gonna was it? Or like,

0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:16.360
<v Speaker 2>did you guys not know that Orange was gonna be

0:36:16.440 --> 0:36:18.160
<v Speaker 2>that big, No.

0:36:18.320 --> 0:36:22.080
<v Speaker 3>We like this is when Netflix was still like mailing

0:36:22.120 --> 0:36:30.160
<v Speaker 3>you like CDs. Oh shoot yeah, Like my cousin was like, oh,

0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:33.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna have to pay for that shit, Like is

0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:35.920
<v Speaker 3>that like what she's like? Is that a web series?

0:36:36.360 --> 0:36:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Like I got mad? I got made fun of? Like seriously, wow,

0:36:39.760 --> 0:36:41.279
<v Speaker 3>Well now he's laughing.

0:36:41.000 --> 0:36:44.799
<v Speaker 1>Out right exactly. You tell him, Jackie. I gotta tell you.

0:36:45.400 --> 0:36:48.319
<v Speaker 1>People don't know. Jackie's like a huge deal besides being

0:36:48.320 --> 0:36:50.399
<v Speaker 1>an actress. People know you, but you're a huge deal

0:36:50.400 --> 0:36:55.440
<v Speaker 1>of music. I've seen you perform at football stadiums like

0:36:55.480 --> 0:36:58.880
<v Speaker 1>it's nobody's business. Nobody's business.

0:36:59.719 --> 0:37:04.320
<v Speaker 3>That's it was scary. You got to act like it's.

0:37:04.719 --> 0:37:06.520
<v Speaker 1>All right now. I just want to tell people that

0:37:06.560 --> 0:37:08.840
<v Speaker 1>are listening because people I don't know if they know,

0:37:08.960 --> 0:37:11.360
<v Speaker 1>but you know, we just after six months of being

0:37:11.760 --> 0:37:15.680
<v Speaker 1>shut down on my first movie I'm directing Midnight, which

0:37:15.680 --> 0:37:17.400
<v Speaker 1>people have heard about, and they've had a meal her

0:37:17.520 --> 0:37:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Sean and Machine on Kelly and Megan Fox. Jackie has

0:37:20.960 --> 0:37:23.640
<v Speaker 1>been part of this cast from the jump. It's just

0:37:23.680 --> 0:37:26.480
<v Speaker 1>we've been shut down and we actually resume filming now.

0:37:26.840 --> 0:37:31.920
<v Speaker 1>So Jackie is about to collab with her friend Randall

0:37:32.120 --> 0:37:33.040
<v Speaker 1>so there we go.

0:37:33.000 --> 0:37:37.879
<v Speaker 3>Gosho, yo, do you know that I've been dreaming about

0:37:37.920 --> 0:37:40.759
<v Speaker 3>this like the whole twenty twenty oh man, Like I

0:37:40.840 --> 0:37:43.400
<v Speaker 3>was supposed to be in Puerto Rico. I was already

0:37:43.480 --> 0:37:44.680
<v Speaker 3>supposed to be on your jet.

0:37:44.840 --> 0:37:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I doubt that's true, Jackie. You were already supposed to

0:37:48.200 --> 0:37:49.760
<v Speaker 1>be on that jet. But you know what, the world

0:37:49.800 --> 0:37:52.719
<v Speaker 1>came to a halt and we are now going to

0:37:52.800 --> 0:37:54.160
<v Speaker 1>try to push it forward again.

0:37:54.280 --> 0:37:55.880
<v Speaker 3>So anyway, I'm so excited.

0:37:55.960 --> 0:37:58.760
<v Speaker 1>We're ready, Jackie. We're ready for you. Yeah, we're ready

0:37:58.800 --> 0:38:01.120
<v Speaker 1>for you, and and you're going to crush it. You

<v Speaker 1>I've always known you were going to crush it and

0:38:02.920 --> 0:38:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I was lucky to get you. And you were such

0:38:05.040 --> 0:38:06.920
<v Speaker 1>a bench in the whole process. So thank you.

<v Speaker 2>So Jackie is like dear friends with this amazing chick

0:39:50.640 --> 0:39:53.919
<v Speaker 2>named Kelly. Kelly and I used to hang out every

0:39:53.960 --> 0:39:56.759
<v Speaker 2>single day because she had a big dog and I

0:39:56.800 --> 0:39:59.120

<v Speaker 1>I want to tell you something. An I'll shut up

0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:27.840
<v Speaker 1>again because I get excited. You know. I feel like COVID,

0:44:28.200 --> 0:44:31.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, slowed a lot of friendships down that we have. Yeah,

0:44:31.120 --> 0:44:33.640
<v Speaker 1>and I really miss people like Jackie and we need

0:44:33.640 --> 0:44:35.120
<v Speaker 1>to make a little more of an effort to like

0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:36.120
<v Speaker 1>get together.

0:44:35.880 --> 0:44:39.680
<v Speaker 2>With I have learned during COVID that I value the

0:44:39.760 --> 0:44:42.520
<v Speaker 2>friendships that I have, that we pick up where we

0:44:42.600 --> 0:44:47.320
<v Speaker 2>left off, that we may have not spoken for weeks,

0:44:47.600 --> 0:44:49.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe a couple months, and it's just like we are

0:44:49.800 --> 0:44:52.560
<v Speaker 2>right back where we used to be. So I agree

0:44:52.600 --> 0:44:55.080
<v Speaker 2>with you, and I also think it's important that we

0:44:55.120 --> 0:44:57.480
<v Speaker 2>acknowledge the fact that our guests do not have to

0:44:57.480 --> 0:44:59.880
<v Speaker 2>come on our podcast. They do that because they want

0:45:00.480 --> 0:45:03.480
<v Speaker 2>and they are badasses for doing that. So just like

0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:06.160
<v Speaker 2>our guests, you guys don't have to listen, and you do,

0:45:06.400 --> 0:45:08.920
<v Speaker 2>and we love you for that. Thank you for coming

0:45:08.960 --> 0:45:13.160
<v Speaker 2>back every single week to listen to us bumpcoms. We

0:45:13.200 --> 0:45:18.360
<v Speaker 2>love you and we will catch you next Wednesday.
