Speaker 4: on a on a vacation.
Speaker 5: I was on a vacation with them.
Speaker 4: But the finale had me like, I was like, I'm

Speaker 4: not going to bed.
Speaker 1: This is this is fully in, this is this is
Speaker 1: too good.
Speaker 5: You're locked in at that point, and.
Speaker 1: Who are locked in? How has that whole experience been
Speaker 1: for you?
Speaker 4: That being a part of a show like that, and
Speaker 4: the success and obviously the fan base is just.
Speaker 1: Massive, massive.
Speaker 2: Were talking about the numbers before you came on, So
Speaker 2: one point nine to four billion minutes viewed basically makes
Speaker 2: it one of, if not the biggest show on television globally.
Speaker 2: Casually casual mc gil and Jim mentioned, you know, watching shoulders,
Speaker 2: but also there's there's the people that are diehard fans.
Speaker 2: There are those that consume all this on on social media,
Speaker 2: on TikTok and x and you know, Instagram after the fact.
Speaker 1: There's so much reach of this show. And you've been
Speaker 1: hosting now since twenty.
Speaker 5: Twenty four, correct, Yeah, since season six.
Speaker 2: Incredible and and just to see you know, the growth
Speaker 2: even from then to now, it's got to be pretty
Speaker 2: gratifying because you're really kind of you're the voice of
Speaker 2: the show and you get to take people on this
Speaker 2: journey tell us about not just the experience on being
Speaker 2: on the show, but also what that global impact has
Speaker 2: felt like these last couple of years.
Speaker 7: It's so cool. It's so amazing too. Sometimes I think
Speaker 7: season six it really blew up, and were in Fiji,
Speaker 7: so we're very disconnected from what's going on at home,
Speaker 7: and of course I'm on TikTok all the time, and
Speaker 7: I'd be scrolling and we would ask each other, you know,
Speaker 7: is this just our algorithm, because you know, we're in it,
Speaker 7: and the.
Speaker 5: Algorithm knows that this is our thing.
Speaker 7: And then we realized after getting the numbers back that
Speaker 7: it was just huge, and that season seven, same thing,
Speaker 7: even bigger, Season eight even bigger, which is really crazy
Speaker 7: to think because you almost feel like, how much.
Speaker 5: Bigger could it possibly get?
Speaker 7: But it's so cool because it feels like this online,
Speaker 7: like this community of people, and everyone's watching and tuning
Speaker 7: in every day and they're making these hilarious memes and
Speaker 7: edits and they're all so invested. And then you know,
Speaker 7: you'll be scrolling on TikTok and you'll see all these
Speaker 7: groups of people are going live and breaking down everything
Speaker 7: in the episode, and it's really really cool to be
Speaker 7: a fly on the wall and just see how people
Speaker 7: are responding to everything. And it's really kind of a
Speaker 7: nice pat on the back to see that response because
Speaker 7: the people who make this show are working so hard
Speaker 7: all the time, and it's it's lovely to see them
Speaker 7: kind of the fruits of their labors, so to speak.
Speaker 2: Really, speaking of that your first Primetime Emmy nomination, congratulations
Speaker 2: and exciting for you, and obviously the entire team kind
Speaker 2: of on board it. But tell us about that when
Speaker 2: you got the news, Where were you What were you doing?
Speaker 7: I was dead asleep in my hotel room in Fiji
Speaker 7: and my room phone started ringing and I don't know
Speaker 7: about you, guys, but I a I'm afraid of the
Speaker 7: phone in general.
Speaker 5: I'm a Texter.
Speaker 7: Please, when someone calls, I immediately assumed something very bad
Speaker 7: has happened.
Speaker 5: Yes, agreed.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And so it wasn't even my cell phone. It's
Speaker 7: the sound of a landline.
Speaker 4: Oh that means something's but wrong businessmy nomination those two things.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, And I was I was definitely somewhere in
Speaker 7: the middle of rim sleep because I was so scared,
Speaker 7: and I walked over and I answered the phone in
Speaker 7: a stupor, and it was my team and they had
Speaker 7: called the hotel and then said, can you please connect
Speaker 7: us to this room? And the hotel people were like,
Speaker 7: you're crazy. It's four o'clock in the morning. This, this
Speaker 7: is absolutely you're out of your mind. And they had
Speaker 7: to convince them that I would actually want the call.
Speaker 7: So yeah, and then it was an amazing phone call
Speaker 7: to get because I think over here in the States,
Speaker 7: it was obviously a much different time of day.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So they couldn't reach you on your phone because it's
Speaker 2: on do not disturb when you.
Speaker 5: Sleep, Yes, all the time?
Speaker 1: Okay, nice, very smart.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to work towards the do not disturb or
Speaker 2: even Joe you've started keeping the other room?
Speaker 7: Is that?
Speaker 1: Is that right?
Speaker 4: Keeping the do not disturb? Yeah, no, the phone. So
Speaker 4: I know, Okay, where did you hear that? You told
Speaker 4: me that like two weeks ago. Maybe I did that
Speaker 4: one time.
Speaker 5: I do. I'm a user of do not disturb.
Speaker 4: The do not disturb thing doesn't work though, because all
Speaker 4: of you guys are on VIP, so you text and
Speaker 4: I get it anyway, So like, what's the point.
Speaker 5: I didn't put you on that?
Speaker 1: But I have Oh got it. You have to, like
Speaker 1: you have you either have to go all in or not.
Speaker 4: But I have two kids and and they are are
Speaker 4: they go to school in London, so I when I'm
Speaker 4: asleep here in the States the hours earlier. But so
Speaker 4: like it's kind of like keeping one eye open. But
Speaker 4: congratulations to you. That is so exciting. That's amazing film
Speaker 4: in Fiji. I want to hear about the Fiji set up. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I want to know about the compound because it's it's
Speaker 4: it looks so elaborate, but at the same time, I'm
Speaker 4: so curious how like the inner workings.
Speaker 2: And just so you know, all right, no, no one
Speaker 2: actually watches this podcast, so you can talk about whatever.
Speaker 7: You want.
Speaker 6: Y.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is it actually luxurious?
Speaker 4: Only one hundred only one hundred and ninety eight billillion
Speaker 4: people podcast one, Yes, so yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the compound. Are are you in the compound?
Speaker 1: Are you?
Speaker 4: You obviously said hotel rooms, so you're not necessarily within
Speaker 4: the confines.
Speaker 2: And by the way, sorry sorry, you have your phone,
Speaker 2: which right the other they don't have their phones.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the person I am the one person that is
Speaker 5: both on the show and with the phone.
Speaker 1: Love that's exciting.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's nice. Have any of you guys been to
Speaker 7: at all?
Speaker 1: No, I never always wanted to go. I love their water.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's amazing water for sure, and it's obviously a
Speaker 7: lot cheaper over there because it's it's right there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Fiji is is really really beautiful. Obviously, we joke
Speaker 7: that I sleep in Soultize, and we've made this joke
Speaker 7: so many times that people online really believe it.
Speaker 5: And so when an islander.
Speaker 7: Goes to sleep and Soultize, they're like, but then where
Speaker 7: does Ariana go? Like, well, she goes to the hideaway.
Speaker 1: The hideaway, yeah, hide away.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but yeah, the compound is really amazing. It actually
Speaker 7: used to be it used to be a resort that
Speaker 7: The best way I can describe the vibe of it
Speaker 7: is like dirty dancing.
Speaker 1: Oh wow.
Speaker 7: So yeah, So it's about where I stay, like where
Speaker 7: the hotels are. It's about a forty five minute drive.
Speaker 7: And then you go over to the compound and you
Speaker 7: come in and all the different departments are there, so
Speaker 7: you have As you pull in, you'll see the art
Speaker 7: department is building a challenge, and down past that is
Speaker 7: all the post team is in there, you know, editing away.
Speaker 7: Then there's a control room that's there. There's catering which
Speaker 7: that does all of our food. No, it literally could
Speaker 7: be its own show because there's like hundreds of people.
Speaker 4: There the same time day, which is so much harder
Speaker 4: for the for the crew and for the staff, which
Speaker 4: is awesome.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's one of those it's I think the rare
Speaker 7: thing of a show that is being filmed, edited and
Speaker 7: airing in real time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fascinating, and you're there the entire run of it.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I stay out there.
Speaker 7: There's always an offer like, oh, you know, you have
Speaker 7: a few days off this week, do you want to
Speaker 7: fly home? And I just think, like, I don't know,
Speaker 7: an eleven hour flight to then turn around and come back.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I just stay.
Speaker 1: Like it's not the nicest location to stay in either, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: So how long do you how.
Speaker 4: Long do you pretty much stay on on site in Fiji?
Speaker 4: Like how many months or weeks are you there?
Speaker 7: I'm there for for eight weeks, so I'm there a
Speaker 7: little bit before the show starts, and then I'm usually
Speaker 7: there like a couple of days after to get all
Speaker 7: my stuff together and usually try to have one last.
Speaker 1: Hurrah yeah from it, like the start of a season.
Speaker 4: Do you ever have a gut feeling like these two
Speaker 4: are going to be they're gonna make it, or they're
Speaker 4: gonna they're gonna you're gonna see it through or is
Speaker 4: it just you never know?
Speaker 7: Honestly, I feel like every time I've thought that I've
Speaker 7: been wrong, maybe.
Speaker 1: Placing bets or there's like an also a casino with this, Oh.
Speaker 5: My god, super you know people are doing it.
Speaker 4: You can better, you can do people are no crew member.
Speaker 4: I'm going to show now. And we had a production
Speaker 4: meeting and that they had to remind me because it's
Speaker 4: a live show. They said, hey, I just we have
Speaker 4: to do this for legalities. The producers down said they
Speaker 4: weren't saying you can't. They're like, please don't bet on
Speaker 4: things like you can't.
Speaker 7: When I thought about it, I was like, I do
Speaker 7: know what happens about a day in advance.
Speaker 1: It would be Phoe, call your phone.
Speaker 5: We do not cont No one watches this podcast.
Speaker 2: Fine thing you want to do, It's fine, okay, So
Speaker 2: let's let's back it up one degree here. So this
Speaker 2: is obviously not your first venture into reality TV to
Speaker 2: totally uh this world coming off of Dancing with Stars,
Speaker 2: where you you placed third, which is incredible. It looks
Speaker 2: so difficult I would I would fail be out in
Speaker 2: the first week or two.
Speaker 1: That experience coming out of that was.
Speaker 2: Was it soon after around that time that you got
Speaker 2: this call to come in and be the host for
Speaker 2: Love Island.
Speaker 7: Dancing with the Stars? I did twenty twenty three. Oh
Speaker 7: right after I had done two guest spots, two guest
Speaker 7: hosting spots on season five and on season one of
Speaker 7: Love Island Games, and then I had Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 7: And then it was actually during my first Broadway run
Speaker 7: in Chicago. It was around like January or February when
Speaker 7: I think I was in the I had to go
Speaker 7: into the stage manager's office maybe mid show to get
Speaker 7: a quick call because this this had come through and
Speaker 7: you know, for me as a Love Island fans, kind
Speaker 7: of my dream job.
Speaker 5: So that was a really really cool call to get.
Speaker 4: And you're also getting another call in like a very
Speaker 4: intense setting.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, through show.
Speaker 1: Your team only likes to frighten you.
Speaker 7: No, they really, they likes that's good though. Yeah, they
Speaker 7: love to give me a text that says, hey, can
Speaker 7: you call me? Oh no, no, I can't have Yeah no,
Speaker 7: I said, you guys got to stop.
Speaker 4: And also I think one of the very exciting like accomplishment.
Speaker 4: And it's so cool because we are massive sandwich fans.
Speaker 4: Do you have a sandwich spot in Los Angeles? Yes,
Speaker 4: please take us through how did that start? But also
Speaker 4: we should let you know we are currently in Dallas, Texas,
Speaker 4: but we do have your sandwiches here.
Speaker 5: We flew them in.
Speaker 1: We flew them in and we made.
Speaker 4: Sure they were preserved perfectly, so we can try your
Speaker 4: sandwiches the whole.
Speaker 1: Of We looked at the menu and there's no Ariana
Speaker 1: on the menu.
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I have a bit of a
Speaker 2: bone to pick with you. It's all so good okay,
Speaker 2: and that is that I have dreamed of opening a
Speaker 2: sandwich shop for my entire life. We grew up in
Speaker 2: New Jersey, which is known for good Deli's Monadello, and
Speaker 2: my first ever job was it's probably illegal, but the
Speaker 2: guy that owned it was a family friend. He let
Speaker 2: me stalk the shelves. Was when he was three years
Speaker 2: when I was like three or four. I was in
Speaker 2: sixth but I've never actually taken it seriously. When I
Speaker 2: when I found out that you have this this sandwich
Speaker 2: shop in la uh something about her it's called go
Speaker 2: check it out?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes please, I was.
Speaker 2: Very jealous, and so I'm excited to try one of these.
Speaker 2: But give us the backstory. First of all, where are
Speaker 2: you from and is that an influence on your desire
Speaker 2: to have a sandwich shop or not.
Speaker 7: I'm from Florida and my mom is probably the best
Speaker 7: cook slash sandwich maker I've ever met. And I think
Speaker 7: that my love for eating sandwiches is definitely something that
Speaker 7: motivated me to be a part of this business. One
Speaker 7: of my dear, dear friends, Katie Maloney, had this dream
Speaker 7: and she really wanted to make it happen, and I thought, Wow,
Speaker 7: we're so aligned in our vision for what this could be,
Speaker 7: and so I was really excited to jump in and
Speaker 7: do it with her. And we've had such a blast.
Speaker 7: I mean, listen, I totally support your sandwich shop journey.
Speaker 1: Thank you. You really need Your sandwich shop is incredible.
Speaker 5: The food is amazing. I can't believe you guys have
Speaker 5: that text.
Speaker 1: They're really good. So I think, and it's like Pete
Speaker 1: Repairs and yeah, yeah, yeah, very good. You should keep
Speaker 1: doing this. This is very good. I appreciate your support
Speaker 1: my shop journey. Do you have a name? I do?
Speaker 1: I'm between two.
Speaker 2: I'd like I'd like your opinion because you're a successful
Speaker 2: samwich shop owner and I'm not. The two options are
Speaker 2: as follows uh Saint Nick's that worked?
Speaker 4: That works?
Speaker 1: Or Big Nicks, thank you, Joe.
Speaker 6: Not.
Speaker 5: Something about him across the street rivalry.
Speaker 1: That could be.
Speaker 2: It could be like a like an interesting this sounds
Speaker 2: like the setup of.
Speaker 3: A hot new bombshell.
Speaker 2: Something about him listen. The log line to a fantastic
Speaker 2: rom com starring starring Nick Jonas and Rio Maddox could
Speaker 2: be I say that genius speak of you're acting Broadway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, incredible. Well she's nominated for the Emmy now which
Speaker 1: she'll win, and then when she.
Speaker 5: Does so, halfway there to that you got.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my journey started on Brow as a kid and
Speaker 2: Joe uh did show as a kid, and it's it's
Speaker 2: a big love of ours as a family. Musical theater Yeah, Chicago,
Speaker 2: I mean classic, iconic, Yes, and an important show in
Speaker 2: the sort of the history of of the Broadway as
Speaker 2: a whole. What an incredible journey that must have been
Speaker 2: eight shows a week, though, is a grind. You did
Speaker 2: musical theater in college, obviously, and I'm sure you have
Speaker 2: a deep love for it, but but actually doing it,
Speaker 2: what was your experience like And what's the next role
Speaker 2: you want to do?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 7: My gosh, any and all the roles please, it's so
Speaker 7: much fun. It's it is a grind. It does become
Speaker 7: a bit of a different thing. But it's one of
Speaker 7: those what was it Taylor Swift or somebody who said
Speaker 7: something like, you know, it's hard, but it's not hard
Speaker 7: at the same time because you love it and every
Speaker 7: night I feel like when you hear the orchestra playing,
Speaker 7: you just get this surge of energy and there's just
Speaker 7: there's nothing like it. And the eight shows a week.
Speaker 7: I mean, it becomes it is your whole life. And
Speaker 7: one thing that I definitely struggled with is when people,
Speaker 7: you know, when other things would come in and they
Speaker 7: would want me to do other little, you know, jobs
Speaker 7: and things throughout the run. I was I was trying
Speaker 7: to it's you have to be so focused. You can't
Speaker 7: there's nothing outside of just doing that show eight days
Speaker 7: a week. But at the same time, it's kind of
Speaker 7: the best place to be in which I'm sure you
Speaker 7: know you guys love it.
Speaker 5: I mean I just.
Speaker 7: Was watching the show Nick that you just did. What
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, yes, thank you. I love that show,
Speaker 7: so congrats. That's like literally one of my favorite shows.
Speaker 2: Same yeah, and it was a grind. I mean, I
Speaker 2: loved going back and doing it. My co star was amazing.
Speaker 2: But the prices that you have to take, you said, locked.
Speaker 4: You really can't, like you said Ariona, like getting calls
Speaker 4: and you're of course, your team's calling you mid show
Speaker 4: and they're saying, hey, we got this nice opportunity or
Speaker 4: payday here do you want to take You know, you'd
Speaker 4: have to leave early. But it's like there's there's something
Speaker 4: amazing to put yourself through that challenge. I remember we
Speaker 4: had long conversations with me and Nick about this when
Speaker 4: he was in the last five years, because there was
Speaker 4: even just to fill up a venue size like that.
Speaker 4: For avid theater lovers or people that just are walking
Speaker 4: around New York City and they're seeing they're like, maybe
Speaker 4: we should just get dinner instead, that happens. And so
Speaker 4: to people that go and show up, it's incredible. So
Speaker 4: obviously shout out to the theater fans or new fans
Speaker 4: out there, but I think it's it's it's It can
Speaker 4: be a grind, but I think the reward of like
Speaker 4: putting yourself to something through that physically and emotionally each
Speaker 4: night having to put on that mindset is like, hats
Speaker 4: off to you. It's my favorite question to ask someone
Speaker 4: that loves musical theater, what is your favorite show?
Speaker 1: So, what's your favorite What's your favorite Broadway show?
Speaker 7: I have such a big place in my heart for
Speaker 7: Once on This Island. Okay, it was a show I
Speaker 7: first became familiar with in high school. Yeah, and then
Speaker 7: I went and saw it when it was in the
Speaker 7: round in New York a few years ago, and it
Speaker 7: still remains to be one of my favorite shows.
Speaker 2: I didn't get the chance to see that production, but
Speaker 2: it looked incredible. There's a clip going viral right now
Speaker 2: actually of Zendeia in a production of Once of A's
Speaker 2: Island way back.
Speaker 5: Wait, was she like little baby t Moon? I think so, yeah,
Speaker 5: that's of course, you guys heard of Zindia.
Speaker 1: Goes big Summer. I think she's summer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, I have some fan questions from one of
Speaker 4: the fan questions of one of our very good friends,
Speaker 4: and I think you know her, but Tanya Rat has
Speaker 4: written us in and she needs to get some questions
Speaker 4: off her chest.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 4: On a scale of one to ten, how shocked were
Speaker 4: you by the Nick and or Landia split news?
Speaker 7: Nick and Orlandria, Yeah, I love both of them as individuals,
Speaker 7: and I loved them as a couple. I think every listen,
Speaker 7: people break up and that's just the nature of life, right,
Speaker 7: And I think that everything that I mean. They haven't
Speaker 7: really talked a lot about it, so it's hard to
Speaker 7: know how either of them really is feeling right now.
Speaker 7: But I, you know, I just hope that they're okay
Speaker 7: and that they're both doing well, got it, and they
Speaker 7: both continue to just kill it.
Speaker 2: Well said, my wife was a massive fan of the show.
Speaker 2: Didn't have a chance to say that before. We said
Speaker 2: it before you came on. She's a massive fan. It's
Speaker 2: her favorite show on TV, no way, and we got
Speaker 2: the chance. We were on the red carpet for the
Speaker 2: Golden Globes. It was I'm not exaggerating. It was at
Speaker 2: least one hundred plus one hundred and two degrees inside
Speaker 2: this like thing that they build because they were expecting
Speaker 2: it to be cold in La during that time in January.
Speaker 2: Fabrue whatever it was, but it was so hot.
Speaker 7: It was hot.
Speaker 2: And anyway, Lendria was right behind us and the line
Speaker 2: and to go in the red carpet, and Prianca freaked out,
Speaker 2: was very excited, and she was very nice and a
Speaker 2: lovely conversation. So shout out Belindra for being so kind
Speaker 2: to big fans here and.
Speaker 5: That she's amazing.
Speaker 1: It's amazing.
Speaker 7: I love.
Speaker 5: Okay, next question, Yeah, what do you got?
Speaker 4: This is from Tanya as well, which I think is
Speaker 4: pretty hilarious. Does it annoy you that you have to
Speaker 4: bring Andy Cohen along to co host The Love of
Speaker 4: Island Reunions because you can totally handle it by your own.
Speaker 4: She says one hundred percent. So does that annoy you?
Speaker 4: You know, we all know Andy, we love him.
Speaker 7: We love him. I appreciate her saying that that I
Speaker 7: could do it myself. I definitely appreciate that, but I
Speaker 7: have such a fun time doing it with Andy, so
Speaker 7: does not annoy me. And I also feel like it's
Speaker 7: nice to have. I don't know, I just think we
Speaker 7: bounce off of each other really well. And I've known
Speaker 7: him for so long that I just I don't know.
Speaker 7: I like having him there. It's nice, and he has
Speaker 7: great things to say, like great input too.
Speaker 5: Yes, you know what he's.
Speaker 2: Doing, he's great and if you're watching, he's great at TV.
Speaker 8: He just gets it's just fun. It makes it makes
Speaker 8: a spicy question, like so casual fun, but yeah, it's great,
Speaker 8: pert playful.
Speaker 2: Okay, this one's from Kendall. She says, do you watch
Speaker 2: the Valley and do you have any pomo?

Speaker 7: out person.
Speaker 1: I've never heard that, and I think that's incredible.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, we'll use that m I feel that
Speaker 2: way sometimes, yeah, because you know, I'm a recovering fomo person.
Speaker 2: But as as I get older, but as I get older,
Speaker 2: I prefer to sit on my couch and and go
Speaker 2: have fun. Do you guys, go do your thing. I'm
Speaker 2: good here, Yeah, I'm good, right, fine, I'm good. I
Speaker 2: have a question for you. This is another fan question.
Speaker 2: You spend potentially around eight weeks a year in Fiji,
Speaker 2: one of the most beautiful places none of us have
Speaker 2: ever been. Where's a place in the world if they
Speaker 2: change the location that you'd like to see Love Island,
Speaker 2: go and you could work from for eight weeks.
Speaker 5: Ooh okay.
Speaker 7: Part of me wants to say somewhere I've never been,
Speaker 7: so that I can then be yeah, working like paid
Speaker 7: to work somewhere I've never been, totally. The other part
Speaker 7: of me wants to say somewhere I've been because I
Speaker 7: know that it's going to be great, because there's the
Speaker 7: fear of the unknown that let's do.
Speaker 5: So let's do both.
Speaker 7: I think it would be really fun to shoot somewhere
Speaker 7: in like tropical like maybe like Porta Iarta.
Speaker 1: It would be cool, nice, that's great, beautiful.
Speaker 7: And then somewhere I've never been that would be really
Speaker 7: cool to shoot, and would be Brazil.
Speaker 2: Oh, Brazil is tight, great answer. And where's the last
Speaker 2: place on our suit wall?
Speaker 5: Shoot Alaska?
Speaker 1: Alaska?
Speaker 5: I don't want to be cold. That'd be a tricky season.
Speaker 5: It would be tough, a lot more sure clothing on
Speaker 5: people like fur bikinis.
Speaker 7: Maybe, oh, make it worse hot tough bikinis.
Speaker 5: Okay, kinis.
Speaker 2: We have our bowl of questions here, and these are
Speaker 2: unrelated to anything in your life or career.
Speaker 1: These are just random questions that we'd like to They're
Speaker 1: going to say they're lit to ourker, you just got
Speaker 1: to know answer. They're just the most random questions.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, cool is.
Speaker 1: All of Island related? For some reason, it makes sense?
Speaker 2: Okay, do you remember names easily or are you the
Speaker 2: type of person who forgets them five seconds after hearing them.
Speaker 5: I'm one or the other.
Speaker 7: There will be people whose names, birthdays, phone numbers I
Speaker 7: remember from now, right now, from twenty thirty years ago.
Speaker 7: And then there will be someone I've met, maybe last week,
Speaker 7: that it makes no sense for me to have forgotten
Speaker 7: their name, but I have to be.
Speaker 5: Reminded of what that person's name is.
Speaker 7: But if I meet and hang out with someone, I
Speaker 7: usually will remember their name.
Speaker 5: So good.
Speaker 1: This is Joe and this is Kevin.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, got it confused, Thanks Joe, thanks for that
Speaker 2: welcome Okay, please go.
Speaker 4: Question this was weird, but it's a good one. How
Speaker 4: often do you wash your towels and sheets? No, we're
Speaker 4: supposed to ask, I just picked this question.
Speaker 5: No, I listen. I washed my sheets.
Speaker 7: Probably every two like three days.
Speaker 1: It depends on the answer. Great answer, correct answer, correct.
Speaker 7: My towels, It depends on if I use how like
Speaker 7: it's about it, it's usage, right.
Speaker 1: So the spray tan was like you know that.
Speaker 5: See that's definitely part of it.
Speaker 4: And I know what it does to sheets and towels.
Speaker 4: So a spray tan just one last multiple. What's your
Speaker 4: go to fast food order?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 1: Nice?
Speaker 5: I like Taco Bell hell yeah.
Speaker 7: And Taco Bell crunch Wrap Supreme at Jalapenos.
Speaker 1: I loved it.
Speaker 5: We love it.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 2: I was thinking about the other day. It's been a
Speaker 2: long time since I had this. I was like, man,
Speaker 2: that was that was a moment. I don't know if
Speaker 2: you guys remember the the popcorn chicken that came in
Speaker 2: the literal popcorn thinking CAFC.
Speaker 1: Remember that, think about every day? It was so good popcorn.
Speaker 5: Chicken over Popeyes.
Speaker 2: Oh, Popeyes, Popeyes, I think wins for me. But now
Speaker 2: raising canes is raising its hand as well. We also
Speaker 2: have a voice mail. We get voicemails that that sometimes
Speaker 2: are from anonymous people. This one's from an anonymous user. So,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's going to be spicy, me spicy.
Speaker 4: They don't want to and we give unsolicit advice that
Speaker 4: we're not technically should be giving. Yeah, So and you're
Speaker 4: with us on this now, okay play it.
Speaker 9: Hello, I'm calling for some advice with my best friend.
Speaker 6: She is stating a guy that I just don't love.
Speaker 9: He's not the worst person in the world, but I
Speaker 9: just he just definitely is not the type of person
Speaker 9: that she has told me that she really wants to
Speaker 9: be with. And he is in a band, so you
Speaker 9: guys kind of have some knowledge of that. I feel
Speaker 9: like the only reason she likes him is because he's
Speaker 9: in a band and.
Speaker 5: Really things that's good about him.
Speaker 9: It's just about his music.
Speaker 6: And not to say being in a band is bad,
Speaker 6: but there's really not much else he has going for him,
Speaker 6: and he's been with him about you now and we're
Speaker 6: twenty seven, so I think she feels like block a ticket.
Speaker 5: I better just like find the person.
Speaker 6: Now and it'll be whoever it is.
Speaker 9: But I just wanted some advice on if how and
Speaker 9: if me and my friend should bring up maybe if
Speaker 9: this isn't the right one, So thank you.
Speaker 4: Ooh, this seems more like they're unhappy with the friends
Speaker 4: and only the guy's music, so going on for.
Speaker 5: Him, Yeah, what kind of music is it?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Exactly. He's like he's got this.
Speaker 4: Thing he really like, is trying hard to like, you know,
Speaker 4: finds a career path. But that's not why she doesn't
Speaker 4: like it. No, she doesn't like him because she's like,
Speaker 4: it doesn't seem like I hope it's a really famous musician.
Speaker 4: Do you think she would be?
Speaker 2: I hope it's like somebody really famous in a big band,
Speaker 2: and she's like he just kind of sucks, like she
Speaker 2: doesn't like the band at all.
Speaker 5: Like it's like the weekend he thinks, he's.
Speaker 1: Like it's bono. He says he has to go on tour.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean if if she doesn't like him because
Speaker 4: she doesn't think he's a good person. You should not
Speaker 4: wait any time, you should talk to your friend.
Speaker 7: I feel like there we're not getting a lot of
Speaker 7: reasons why she doesn't like him. Aside from that, she
Speaker 7: said she doesn't think her friend wants to be with
Speaker 7: somebody in a band or something. Right.
Speaker 4: She said that he's not doesn't have a lot going
Speaker 4: on for him other than being in the band.
Speaker 1: But she thinks music cames super famous.
Speaker 4: Does she have the same conversation then, because then he's
Speaker 4: like doing really well, But then that means more people
Speaker 4: are going to hear this shitty music that she's maybe
Speaker 4: she obviously doesn't like his music.
Speaker 1: That's the only reason she doesn't like him.
Speaker 5: Is really nice, But he's really nice.
Speaker 1: He just happens to be in a band.
Speaker 2: Yeah, controversial hot take I'll throw in there as a
Speaker 2: maybe is that maybe she got out of the vand
Speaker 2: maybe she's like feeling sort of friend jealous.
Speaker 1: That could be a too.
Speaker 2: She's maybe her friend is actually really into this guy,
Speaker 2: spending more time with him, and she's just like this sucks,
Speaker 2: Like my friend, your friends dating somebody who just has
Speaker 2: like a he's like really passionate about Oh our signs falling?
Speaker 5: Oh wow, it's a sign.
Speaker 1: Let her be with the guy.
Speaker 5: The guy.
Speaker 4: Don't say anything, Do not say anything. This is like obsession.
Speaker 4: Don't say anything.
Speaker 2: I think that's probably a good place to live. You know,
Speaker 2: this has been so much fun. Thank you for delicious,
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, and thanks for the great conversation.
