19
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: When you think back on it, what word would you

20
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: use to describe it?

21
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 3: Oh, my god, probably transitional?

22
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 5: Transitional? Yeah, okay.

23
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 4: I got my Green card this year. I've done a

24
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 4: lot of transitioning from Toronto to hear it feels like,

25
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 4: despite the fact that I've lived in New York for

26
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 4: four years, it's felt like a big transition year on

27
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 4: a personal level for me. And professionally, I made some

28
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 4: changes this year yeah that have also felt very transitional.

29
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: So yeah, I feel like it's a good word. I turned.

30
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: How old I turned this year twenty eight twenty eight.

31
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 4: People say when you turn twenty seven, you develop like

32
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 4: this sense of clarity of like what is serving you

33
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 4: and what isn't serving you, And I definitely feel like

34
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 4: I felt that when I turned twenty seven. I felt

35
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 4: like I went into twenty twenty five because I've like

36
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 4: a late October birthday being like, Okay, I kind of

37
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 4: have a vision for this year, and actually I feel

38
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 4: like I executed kind of like all the things that

39
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 4: I went into this year wanting to do, and some things,

40
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 4: you know, were surprises or something's got decided like later

41
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 4: in the year. But I think overall everything worked out

42
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 4: very well and will hopefully continue.

43
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 3: To work out very well.

44
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 5: Yeah I didn't.

45
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't love this year personally. I thought it

46
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: was I actually found it to be.

47
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 2: Quite stressful.

48
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's actually been more stressful as I would say, Like,

49
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't like the middle of the year was chill,

50
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: like summer was chill, and it was more like since.

51
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: Like fall. His hit which usually is like the opposite

52
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: for us, but.

53
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: I have I've been like very anxiety ridden and very

54
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: stressed out. So I'm actually looking forward to midnight.

55
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't disagree.

56
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 4: I think this has been a big year for both

57
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 4: of us for a lot of different reasons. But transition

58
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 4: comes with a lot of stress, and change comes with

59
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 4: a lot of stress, and decision making comes with a

60
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 4: lot of stress, and I think all good things. But

61
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to a less transitional twenty twenty six

62
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 4: actually and kind of trying to sync into I don't know,

63
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 4: just like sinking into a place where.

64
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: We feel a little more.

65
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 4: I actually just don't want to transition next year, I guess,

66
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 4: is what I'm saying. You know, like we did a

67
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 4: lot this year, it feels like and I am just

68
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 4: hoping to reap the benefits of those decisions next year.

69
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: Right, that's fair.

70
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's one moment from this year that really stands

71
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: out to you?

72
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 4: M I would say, well, getting my green card was huge.

73
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 4: I mean that was like a two and a half

74
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 4: year journey and that was just like, yeah, a huge,

75
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 4: huge moment in my year that I was working towards

76
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 4: for so long. And our trip to Japan and South Korea,

77
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 4: I mean really unforgettable.

78
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was a big one.

79
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we've been talking about doing that since we

80
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 4: got together. It's been like a dream trip of mine

81
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 4: and I'm just so glad we did it this year.

82
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree.

83
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: I agree with both of those, just like even like

84
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: the montreal of it all of going to get your

85
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: green car then having getting denied at first because it

86
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: didn't we didn't have some of the right paperwork, having

87
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: to go back. My brother got married this year. Yeah,

88
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: there was that, so probably.

89
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, your best man's speech, my.

90
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 5: Best man speech.

91
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: What surprised you most about this year? Either personally or professionally.

92
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 3: Surprised me most.

93
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: It really surprised me how painful it would be to

94
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: lose a tone from the marathon two months later.

95
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, Joe a few weeks ago had his big toe

96
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 4: cut off my sorry, his big toe nail.

97
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 5: Oh.

98
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: They had to stick of needle in there numb at

99
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: five times, slice it open. I watched the whole thing

100
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: almost passed out.

101
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: It was horrible. Really has has made me really consider

102
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 2: running marathons in the future, like it is.

103
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 4: I mean, it is so hard on your body, not

104
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 4: just your body, like anyone that runs a marathon. Yeah,

105
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 4: impact on your body is intense, I make no doubt

106
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 4: about it.

107
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: It's one thing to deal with, like you know, being

108
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: sore and everything for like a week after and all that,

109
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: Like that's but like then when we linger on for

110
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: like a couple of months, where like now that I

111
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: have like a toenail that's half off, I gotta go

112
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: get it removed. And then like the pain of them

113
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: like all right, like I love it, like pay no

114
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: game whatever.

115
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: But like no, no, I'm not I'm.

116
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 5: Not a professional athlete. I don't need to do it.

117
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, so stay tuned for him running the marathon

118
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 4: twenty twenty six because I just feel like I feel

119
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 4: like it's one of those things like you know how

120
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 4: they say pregnant women give birth and it's like incredibly painful,

121
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 4: but you get this rush of endorphins after you give

122
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 4: birth that kind of makes you forget how painful it was,

123
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 4: and because of that, women can do it again and

124
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 4: again and again.

125
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 5: Yeah.

126
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 4: I feel like that happens with the marathon too, Like

127
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 4: I feel like, for three months after, you're like that

128
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 4: was so hard. My body took such a beating, and

129
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, August rolls around and you're like,

130
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 4: why wouldn't I do it again?

131
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: I sometimes thinking to think about the act of having

132
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: a baby of like the like delivering a child just

133
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: like Carrie and not even just delivering it, carrying it

134
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: for nine months has to a be so uncomfortable. Yes,

135
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: it just has to be like I would be. That

136
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: would be like driving me insane. How uncomfortable that has

137
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: to be. And then pushing it out of such a small.

138
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 3: Pushing it out of your body.

139
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: Pushing it out of you.

140
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: It is so like just that, Like if you actually

141
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: sit back and just think about what's happening.

142
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 5: It is so insane. It's like so wild, is it's.

143
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 3: It's yeah, women are just out here making.

144
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: People, making people. It's crazy.

145
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: We are really all just you know, animals.

146
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: Okay, last question that will jump to twenty twenty five podcasts. Okay,

147
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: what's something you're more intentional about in your relationships now

148
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: than you were a year ago?

149
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 4: Choose wisely something that you're more intentional about in your relationship? Yes,

150
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 4: I think for us, I was actually just thinking about

151
00:07:52,520 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 4: this today. Is having a balance between work time together and.

152
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: Personal time together.

153
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, we struggle with that, which is fine because we

154
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 4: both love working. We love working together, but we both

155
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 4: work from home together in our apartment that we live in,

156
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 4: so there's like no boundaries, which most of the time

157
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 4: is fine. But I think that's something that we are

158
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 4: starting to become more intentional about and can get even

159
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 4: better at next year.

160
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: Which is Serena's way of telling me to chill out.

161
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 5: Fair, Which is.

162
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 4: Fair because that doesn't have an off switch. He really doesn't, and.

163
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 5: No, I don't, and it keeps me up at night.

164
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's not good for you either. I'll wake

165
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 4: up in the middle of the night and he'll be

166
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 4: like on his email at two in the morning. Okay,

167
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 4: but wait, there's another question on here. I'm gonna ask,

168
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 4: and you have to answer too. What are you becoming

169
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 4: more intentional about with your relationships?

170
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 2: With my relationships?

171
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 3: It doesn't even have to be with me.

172
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's I think it's more about.

173
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: I feel like I do a good job of this.

174
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: But I think it's just just spending you know, quality

175
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: time with uh, you know, friends, family, and just like

176
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: enjoying you know, relationships in person in person.

177
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think it's just like I know.

178
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: I think I want to try to be able to.

179
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: Like something that I enjoyed this year that I didn't

180
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: get to do too much of, but I do enjoy

181
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: like Next year, I'm going to prioritize like being able

182
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: to go off a little more with my friends.

183
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: I can't even believe you just said that.

184
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 5: I feel like.

185
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: I feel like that is something that's quite important.

186
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know you know you feel that way, but.

187
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do think that's a good good Okay, wait

188
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 4: one more before no, and I reject everything you just said,

189
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 4: but let one more question that we'll go into podcasts.

190
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 4: Is there a habit or mindset you're leaving behind in

191
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 4: this past year?

192
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 3: Okay, So.

193
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 4: I in the end of this year have been really

194
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 4: working on my relationship with my phone. I got a

195
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 4: hatch alarm clock so that I don't sleep with my

196
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 4: phone beside my bed, and Joe and I have been

197
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 4: puzzling at nighttime so that we have something to do

198
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 4: when we watch TV that's.

199
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 3: Not scroll on Instagram. But I want to continue.

200
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 4: I don't know if I'll be able to leave that

201
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty five, because I just don't think that's realistic.

202
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 4: But I want to continue working on my relationship with

203
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 4: phone and social media. I actually don't feel like I

204
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 4: have an unhealthy relationship with social media in terms of.

205
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: Like a comparison mindset.

206
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 4: I just feel like I genuinely reach for it, like

207
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 4: as a like a thoughtless habit that I don't need to.

208
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 4: Like I'll get in an elevator and I'll try to

209
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 4: open Instagram.

210
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 3: What are you doing? You're going down seven floors? Like

211
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 3: that's insane. Yeah, so I want to work on that,

212
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 3: and I want to my other habits.

213
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 2: This is like this is also like hybrid of a

214
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 2: New Year's resolution type thing.

215
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the hybrid of a Newyear's resolution, and

216
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 4: my other one I think would be.

217
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: I don't know. I want to work on, like keeping

218
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 3: a less cluttered environment.

219
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 4: I do think we're actually pretty tidy, but I just

220
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 4: think I could I let things pile up and then

221
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 4: I do like a big tidy just trying to be

222
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 4: more discipline of being on top of it is a

223
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 4: habit I want to leave in twenty twenty five.

224
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: I love that for you, what about you?

225
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 5: I think that would be great for me as well.

226
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: I will say that I need to.

227
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: Like the truth is I am very much a.

228
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 2: Free spirit more of.

229
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm more of, you know, just like hippiesque like I'm

230
00:11:54,800 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: very chill person. You are in you aret like no

231
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: I am, And sometimes I lose that side of me

232
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: because I have I.

233
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: Have serious psychological issues.

234
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: With constantly worrying about things going wrong anxiety. I just

235
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: can't like I am instantly like I go through pockets

236
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: of every year.

237
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 5: When I say pockets.

238
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: Months just internally and outwardly panicking about things that just

239
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: are a out of my control and be like I

240
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: do this every year and every year it's fine, and

241
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: I keep doing it. So I need to work on

242
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: going back to who I truly am, which you know

243
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: is definitely more on the hippie chill.

244
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 4: I don't even know where you are not chill or

245
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,240

Speaker 1: my core of who who?

255
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,320

Speaker 4: Hurt studio in New York, which was really nice for

309
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,640

Speaker 4: lot of opinions about his time on the show and

315
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 4: the way he was acting. But I do love it

316
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,200

320
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 4: their story.

321
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 5: And how they're handling it.

322
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, how they're handling it, what they're going through. I

323
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: think it.

324
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 4: He was you know, he was open to being honest

325
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 4: with us, and we were excited to give him that space,

326
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 4: and we like Jeremy and Yeah, I just thought that

327
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 4: that felt good, being like, oh, like, we're gonna use

328
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 4: this podcast to give this guy his moment, and that

329
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 4: opportunity doesn't always present itself.

330
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: I completely agree. I agree, that's a good that's a

331
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: good call. And there is just something about interviewing people

332
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: in person that it just makes it like we could

333
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: have good conversations over Zoom.

334
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 2: We do, but it just makes it a more I

335
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 2: just feel like the guest.

336
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: Is more comfortable totally, because sometimes you can't always pick

337
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 1: up on our energy over you know, this little laptop

338
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: screen and yeah, I think people could come on and

339
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: be very like cautious of just us. Yeah, and it

340
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: just makes it harder for people to want to open up,

341
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: which I totally understand. So there is that connection in person.

342
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, and yeah, it looks like.

343
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: Bailey and Jeremy are still really happy. So happy for them.

344
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: What's something about hosting the podcast this year that people

345
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: might not realize?

346
00:17:58,560 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 4: I mean there's so much I feel like we don't

347
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 4: real dive into the behind the scenes of this podcast

348
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 4: or how it works. I guess something people might not

349
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 4: realize maybe they do, is like we fully set up

350
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 4: and take down a podcast studio in our living room

351
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 4: every single time we record this. Like we have a

352
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 4: light on us right now, we have like full blown

353
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 4: mic stands, we have systems attached to a work laptop,

354
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 4: like we're doing our audio on garage band like we do.

355
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 4: There's like a whole set in here right now to

356
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 4: record this podcast that we literally set up and take

357
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 4: down every recording.

358
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: It's also a very chaotic space right now too, with

359
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: like the Christmas tree and the lights.

360
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: And then dry and Yeah, there's a lot.

361
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 3: Going on off camera in this space.

362
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 4: But we do our best to make it look cute

363
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 4: on zoom.

364
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: And then you obviously always want to prep for anyone

365
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: that you're interviewing, even though like we watch them on

366
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,239
Speaker 1: the show. You want to get a little you know,

367
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: background into the But sometimes I like to do less

368
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: because I like to learn as I go, like on

369
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: the Spot, because I'm a very free spirited, curious, very

370
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: curious person that when someone says something that I find intriguing,

371
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: I want to know more.

372
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, curious George, curious, curious Joe over here, I'd.

373
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: Lose it by mid Is there something you've learned as

374
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: a host about listening, asking questions or just showing up

375
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: for our conversations? I could go first on that. Okay, Yeah,

376
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: I would say from doing this podcast and interviewing people,

377
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: definitely I've learned. Just I don't think I was a

378
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: really judging person ever going into this, but like you know,

379
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: always always sitting here being aware that there are two

380
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: sides to every story and even if the person is wrong,

381
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, people make mistakes, and like I think it's

382
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: just going into every conversation not being judgmental because it's

383
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: easy to do and you watch something like what Reality

384
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: TV is great at is making you feel a certain

385
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: way about a certain person, and it's like these are

386
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: people and they're going through it, and even if they're

387
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: not aware of the mistake they made, like you know,

388
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: let's take it easy. So I think it's just like

389
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: giving people as much grace as possible because none of

390
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: us are perfect. And like, sure, it's easy for us

391
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: now because we were a successful story on the show

392
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: and everything went really well for us, and we are

393
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,959
Speaker 1: in control of this podcast, so we could kind of,

394
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,239
Speaker 1: you know, we have a little more control. But like

395
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: it's you know, being able to just like understand, like, hey,

396
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: it's just not as easy for some people, and some

397
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: people don't get as lucky as we did, and that's just.

398
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 5: To just be like mindful of that.

399
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

400
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 4: I feel like anyone that comes on this podcast, we

401
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 4: never have any preconceived plan to paint them in a

402
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 4: certain life or light or make them come off a

403
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 4: certain way. Like we really want to be a blank

404
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 4: canvas for them to come on and tell their story

405
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 4: their way so that people can see their point of view.

406
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 4: I think that my thing from a more like logistical

407
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 4: perspective is being prepared with questions and like the main

408
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 4: things that we want to get to the bottom of

409
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 4: and ask these people. Obviously we want to be prepared

410
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 4: and like know what the big topics are that we

411
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 4: need to cover. But when they're answering a question, like

412
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 4: not being like, Okay, we need to talk about this next,

413
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 4: so like we're gonna ask this next, like really listening

414
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 4: to what they're saying and letting their answer guide us

415
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 4: into what our next question is. Yeah, So it doesn't

416
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 4: just feel like question answer, question answer. Try to make

417
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 4: it feel fluid and like a conversation. And you know,

418
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 4: if they say something interesting in their answer, like pulling

419
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 4: that thread.

420
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that that is one of the

421
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: more challenging that's very.

422
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 3: I still struggle with that sometimes.

423
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: And that's also the challenging part of Zoom and Over

424
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: and not in person.

425
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 3: Interviews because it doesn't feel as intimate or personally.

426
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: It just makes it harder to get like, it makes

427
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: it harder for the conversation to flow more organically and

428
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: be able to pull things when Zoom is involved. Cool,

429
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: let's go one more and then we will wrap this thing.

430
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: Has doing this podcast changed how you think about Bachelor

431
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: Nation or the people who come out of it. I've

432
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: kind of always had, for the most part, the same

433
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: thoughts as far as like everyone's like, like I've I

434
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 1: don't know if I've ever had a bad interaction with

435
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: anybody off the show that I've that that's been on

436
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: the show. Like even if you watch somebody, you're like,

437
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: that person's a dick, Like, I don't think I've ever

438
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: had a bad.

439
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say I'm pretty much always pleasantly surprised

440
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 4: by our guests. Yeah, And like I think that's a

441
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 4: good thing for people watching to keep in mind, is

442
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 4: like even if you think you can't stand this person,

443
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 4: you'll probably meet them in person and be like, oh,

444
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 4: never mind, Like they're great.

445
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, definitely great. Well that wraps it.
