<v Speaker 2>All right, Let's start with this year as a whole.

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:51.199
<v Speaker 1>When you think back on it, what word would you

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 1>use to describe it?

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh, my god, probably transitional?

0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 5>Transitional? Yeah, okay.

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 4>I got my Green card this year. I've done a

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 4>lot of transitioning from Toronto to hear it feels like,

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 4>despite the fact that I've lived in New York for

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 4>four years, it's felt like a big transition year on

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 4>a personal level for me. And professionally, I made some

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.680
<v Speaker 4>changes this year yeah that have also felt very transitional.

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I feel like it's a good word. I turned.

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 3>How old I turned this year twenty eight twenty eight.

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 4>People say when you turn twenty seven, you develop like

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 4>this sense of clarity of like what is serving you

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 4>and what isn't serving you, And I definitely feel like

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 4>I felt that when I turned twenty seven. I felt

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 4>like I went into twenty twenty five because I've like

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 4>a late October birthday being like, Okay, I kind of

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 4>have a vision for this year, and actually I feel

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 4>like I executed kind of like all the things that

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 4>I went into this year wanting to do, and some things,

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 4>you know, were surprises or something's got decided like later

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 4>in the year. But I think overall everything worked out

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 4>very well and will hopefully continue.

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 3>To work out very well.

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah I didn't.

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I didn't love this year personally. I thought it

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 1>was I actually found it to be.

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:21.919
<v Speaker 2>Quite stressful.

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's actually been more stressful as I would say, Like,

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't like the middle of the year was chill,

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 1>like summer was chill, and it was more like since.

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Like fall. His hit which usually is like the opposite

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 2>for us, but.

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:47.519
<v Speaker 1>I have I've been like very anxiety ridden and very

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>stressed out. So I'm actually looking forward to midnight.

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I wouldn't disagree.

0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.799
<v Speaker 4>I think this has been a big year for both

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 4>of us for a lot of different reasons. But transition

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 4>comes with a lot of stress, and change comes with

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.079
<v Speaker 4>a lot of stress, and decision making comes with a

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 4>lot of stress, and I think all good things. But

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm looking forward to a less transitional twenty twenty six

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:22.120
<v Speaker 4>actually and kind of trying to sync into I don't know,

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 4>just like sinking into a place where.

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:25.840
<v Speaker 3>We feel a little more.

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 4>I actually just don't want to transition next year, I guess,

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 4>is what I'm saying. You know, like we did a

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.960
<v Speaker 4>lot this year, it feels like and I am just

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 4>hoping to reap the benefits of those decisions next year.

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Right, that's fair.

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what's one moment from this year that really stands

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:44.080
<v Speaker 1>out to you?

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 4>M I would say, well, getting my green card was huge.

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean that was like a two and a half

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 4>year journey and that was just like, yeah, a huge,

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 4>huge moment in my year that I was working towards

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 4>for so long. And our trip to Japan and South Korea,

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 4>I mean really unforgettable.

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that was a big one.

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and we've been talking about doing that since we

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 4>got together. It's been like a dream trip of mine

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 4>and I'm just so glad we did it this year.

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I agree.

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I agree with both of those, just like even like

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the montreal of it all of going to get your

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.720
<v Speaker 1>green car then having getting denied at first because it

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't we didn't have some of the right paperwork, having

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 1>to go back. My brother got married this year. Yeah,

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 1>there was that, so probably.

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, your best man's speech, my.

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:38.920
<v Speaker 5>Best man speech.

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>What surprised you most about this year? Either personally or professionally.

0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:46.720
<v Speaker 3>Surprised me most.

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 1>It really surprised me how painful it would be to

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 1>lose a tone from the marathon two months later.

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Joe a few weeks ago had his big toe

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.599
<v Speaker 4>cut off my sorry, his big toe nail.

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 5>Oh.

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.279
<v Speaker 1>They had to stick of needle in there numb at

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 1>five times, slice it open. I watched the whole thing

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>almost passed out.

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 2>It was horrible. Really has has made me really consider

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.919
<v Speaker 2>running marathons in the future, like it is.

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.280
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it is so hard on your body, not

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 4>just your body, like anyone that runs a marathon. Yeah,

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 4>impact on your body is intense, I make no doubt

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:31.040
<v Speaker 4>about it.

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 1>It's one thing to deal with, like you know, being

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>sore and everything for like a week after and all that,

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Like that's but like then when we linger on for

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 1>like a couple of months, where like now that I

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 1>have like a toenail that's half off, I gotta go

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.599
<v Speaker 1>get it removed. And then like the pain of them

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.839
<v Speaker 1>like all right, like I love it, like pay no

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:53.360
<v Speaker 1>game whatever.

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.000
<v Speaker 2>But like no, no, I'm not I'm.

0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.120
<v Speaker 5>Not a professional athlete. I don't need to do it.

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, so stay tuned for him running the marathon

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.760
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty six because I just feel like I feel

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 4>like it's one of those things like you know how

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.799
<v Speaker 4>they say pregnant women give birth and it's like incredibly painful,

0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.360
<v Speaker 4>but you get this rush of endorphins after you give

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.839
<v Speaker 4>birth that kind of makes you forget how painful it was,

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 4>and because of that, women can do it again and

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:18.719
<v Speaker 4>again and again.

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:19.239
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 4>I feel like that happens with the marathon too, Like

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.360
<v Speaker 4>I feel like, for three months after, you're like that

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 4>was so hard. My body took such a beating, and

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.600
<v Speaker 4>then all of a sudden, August rolls around and you're like,

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 4>why wouldn't I do it again?

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:39.279
<v Speaker 1>I sometimes thinking to think about the act of having

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 1>a baby of like the like delivering a child just

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.279
<v Speaker 1>like Carrie and not even just delivering it, carrying it

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:49.480
<v Speaker 1>for nine months has to a be so uncomfortable. Yes,

0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>it just has to be like I would be. That

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:56.840
<v Speaker 1>would be like driving me insane. How uncomfortable that has

0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 1>to be. And then pushing it out of such a small.

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 3>Pushing it out of your body.

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Pushing it out of you.

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 1>It is so like just that, Like if you actually

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>sit back and just think about what's happening.

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 5>It is so insane. It's like so wild, is it's.

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.520
<v Speaker 3>It's yeah, women are just out here making.

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 2>People, making people. It's crazy.

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 3>We are really all just you know, animals.

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, last question that will jump to twenty twenty five podcasts. Okay,

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>what's something you're more intentional about in your relationships now

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>than you were a year ago?

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:48.680
<v Speaker 4>Choose wisely something that you're more intentional about in your relationship? Yes,

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 4>I think for us, I was actually just thinking about

0:07:52.520 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 4>this today. Is having a balance between work time together and.

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Personal time together.

0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:07.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we struggle with that, which is fine because we

0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:12.560
<v Speaker 4>both love working. We love working together, but we both

0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 4>work from home together in our apartment that we live in,

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 4>so there's like no boundaries, which most of the time

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 4>is fine. But I think that's something that we are

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 4>starting to become more intentional about and can get even

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 4>better at next year.

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Which is Serena's way of telling me to chill out.

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:33.439
<v Speaker 5>Fair, Which is.

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:37.839
<v Speaker 4>Fair because that doesn't have an off switch. He really doesn't, and.

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:39.920
<v Speaker 5>No, I don't, and it keeps me up at night.

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and it's not good for you either. I'll wake

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:43.440
<v Speaker 4>up in the middle of the night and he'll be

0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:51.680
<v Speaker 4>like on his email at two in the morning. Okay,

0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 4>but wait, there's another question on here. I'm gonna ask,

0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.840
<v Speaker 4>and you have to answer too. What are you becoming

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:00.640
<v Speaker 4>more intentional about with your relationships?

0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.080
<v Speaker 2>With my relationships?

0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't even have to be with me.

0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it's I think it's more about.

0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.400
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I do a good job of this.

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>But I think it's just just spending you know, quality

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:23.200
<v Speaker 1>time with uh, you know, friends, family, and just like

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>enjoying you know, relationships in person in person.

0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I think it's just like I know.

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 2>I think I want to try to be able to.

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Like something that I enjoyed this year that I didn't

0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:41.559
<v Speaker 1>get to do too much of, but I do enjoy

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.199
<v Speaker 1>like Next year, I'm going to prioritize like being able

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:45.880
<v Speaker 1>to go off a little more with my friends.

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:48.600
<v Speaker 3>I can't even believe you just said that.

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:49.720
<v Speaker 5>I feel like.

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that is something that's quite important.

0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I know you know you feel that way, but.

0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I do think that's a good good Okay, wait

0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 4>one more before no, and I reject everything you just said,

0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 4>but let one more question that we'll go into podcasts.

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 4>Is there a habit or mindset you're leaving behind in

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:11.400
<v Speaker 4>this past year?

0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So.

0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 4>I in the end of this year have been really

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 4>working on my relationship with my phone. I got a

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:22.959
<v Speaker 4>hatch alarm clock so that I don't sleep with my

0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:26.840
<v Speaker 4>phone beside my bed, and Joe and I have been

0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 4>puzzling at nighttime so that we have something to do

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 4>when we watch TV that's.

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Not scroll on Instagram. But I want to continue.

0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if I'll be able to leave that

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 4>in twenty twenty five, because I just don't think that's realistic.

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:40.000
<v Speaker 4>But I want to continue working on my relationship with

0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 4>phone and social media. I actually don't feel like I

0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 4>have an unhealthy relationship with social media in terms of.

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 3>Like a comparison mindset.

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.719
<v Speaker 4>I just feel like I genuinely reach for it, like

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 4>as a like a thoughtless habit that I don't need to.

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.199
<v Speaker 4>Like I'll get in an elevator and I'll try to

0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 4>open Instagram.

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 3>What are you doing? You're going down seven floors? Like

0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.840
<v Speaker 3>that's insane. Yeah, so I want to work on that,

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.680
<v Speaker 3>and I want to my other habits.

0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:04.719
<v Speaker 2>This is like this is also like hybrid of a

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.200
<v Speaker 2>New Year's resolution type thing.

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, this is the hybrid of a Newyear's resolution, and

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:12.679
<v Speaker 4>my other one I think would be.

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I want to work on, like keeping

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:19.679
<v Speaker 3>a less cluttered environment.

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.680
<v Speaker 4>I do think we're actually pretty tidy, but I just

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:26.000
<v Speaker 4>think I could I let things pile up and then

0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 4>I do like a big tidy just trying to be

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.080
<v Speaker 4>more discipline of being on top of it is a

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 4>habit I want to leave in twenty twenty five.

0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 2>I love that for you, what about you?

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 5>I think that would be great for me as well.

0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 2>I will say that I need to.

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Like the truth is I am very much a.

0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.559
<v Speaker 2>Free spirit more of.

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm more of, you know, just like hippiesque like I'm

0:11:54.800 --> 0:12:01.400
<v Speaker 1>very chill person. You are in you aret like no

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I am, And sometimes I lose that side of me

0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:07.960
<v Speaker 1>because I have I.

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Have serious psychological issues.

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:22.840
<v Speaker 1>With constantly worrying about things going wrong anxiety. I just

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 1>can't like I am instantly like I go through pockets

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:29.160
<v Speaker 1>of every year.

0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 5>When I say pockets.

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Months just internally and outwardly panicking about things that just

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.920
<v Speaker 1>are a out of my control and be like I

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:48.320
<v Speaker 1>do this every year and every year it's fine, and

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I keep doing it. So I need to work on

0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:56.640
<v Speaker 1>going back to who I truly am, which you know

0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 1>is definitely more on the hippie chill.

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.560
<v Speaker 4>I don't even know where you are not chill or

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 4>free spirited, and I can be, but I wouldn't say

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:06.960
<v Speaker 4>you are at your core?

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I want to. I need to spend a

0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.839
<v Speaker 1>little more. I need to prioritize like.

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:15.120
<v Speaker 5>More nature.

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 3>I love that. I would love to spend more time

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:18.640
<v Speaker 3>in nature.

0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:19.040
<v Speaker 5>I need.

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I need more time in nature to get back to

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 1>my core of who who?

0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:26.320
<v Speaker 3>Who you want to be?

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:30.560
<v Speaker 1>I not who I want to be? Who I really am.

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 3>I just don't know why you think you're a chill.

0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Free spirited person like I am so chill.

0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 3>I would say you're chill with me, and I like.

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:41.240
<v Speaker 5>Relationship in general.

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 4>But as a person, you're pretty You got some big

0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.680
<v Speaker 4>feelings and that's okay.

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 3>I love that about you.

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but it's it's it's it's about how I express

0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 1>those feelings.

0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:54.800
<v Speaker 3>Yes, everyone has processed those feelings.

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 5>Everyone has big feelings.

0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but you have a lot of big feelings in

0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 4>one day that are very different from one another.

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:06.280
<v Speaker 5>They fight with feature.

0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's talk a little bit about twenty twenty five

0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:15.840
<v Speaker 1>podcasts and okay, so now let's we're gonna review Happy

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Hour twenty twenty five. All right, So when you look

0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:23.720
<v Speaker 1>back on this year, what's a conversation or guest that

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 1>really stood out to you?

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, are we doing our twenty twenty five Batchel?

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 3>Happy Hour wrapped?

0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:30.560
<v Speaker 2>I love a wrap.

0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, okay, let's give me one.

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 3>Okay, wait, can I tell you something.

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 4>My number one Uber eats order on my Uber wrapped

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:42.120
<v Speaker 4>this year was Chipotle, and I really would love for them.

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:43.120
<v Speaker 3>To send me a gold card.

0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.240
<v Speaker 4>But I was only the top ten percent and I

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 4>think if I get into the top like three percent,

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 4>maybe they'll do it.

0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.640
<v Speaker 3>Chipotle. If you're listening, how do you see?

0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 5>You're wrapped?

0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 3>You go to uber it was there and it's called

0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:54.800

<v Speaker 5>I mean, I'm on you.

0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:57.200
<v Speaker 3>Do you see it?

0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:57.800
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:00.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it might be gone. Now you might have missed it.

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:01.000
<v Speaker 5>I might have missed it.

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 4>But this is the Bachelor Happy Hour twenty twenty five

0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.040
<v Speaker 4>rapped kind of okay, which is so fun?

0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, So is there when you look back on

0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.560
<v Speaker 1>this year, is there a conversation or guests that really

0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.240
<v Speaker 1>stood out? And now when we talk about this year,

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 1>we have Grant season of The Bachelor and then No Bachelorette, Yes,

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Bachelor in Paradise and Golden Yes, and then obviously like

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 1>the in Betweens people that we know that have come on,

0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:36.960
<v Speaker 1>if any of those conversations stood out to you?

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 2>So, yeah, what would it would? What would it be?

0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna have to go with our interview with Jeremy.

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.000
<v Speaker 4>We got to do that in person at that I

0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.280
<v Speaker 4>Hurt studio in New York, which was really nice for

0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:52.640
<v Speaker 4>us because we don't get to do a lot of

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.280
<v Speaker 4>interviews in person, and.

0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I hate to say it was fun for

0:15:58.080 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 3>us because he.

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:01.120
<v Speaker 4>Was like really going through it and there was a

0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.320
<v Speaker 4>lot of opinions about his time on the show and

0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 4>the way he was acting. But I do love it

0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.200
<v Speaker 4>when we get the opportunity to give someone who's kind

0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.080
<v Speaker 4>of in the heat of like who's going through it,

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.560
<v Speaker 4>going through it and like in the fire, to sit

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 4>down with them and give them the space to share

0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.040
<v Speaker 4>their story.

0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:22.320
<v Speaker 5>And how they're handling it.

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, how they're handling it, what they're going through. I

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:24.720
<v Speaker 3>think it.

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:29.920
<v Speaker 4>He was you know, he was open to being honest

0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.600
<v Speaker 4>with us, and we were excited to give him that space,

0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:37.320
<v Speaker 4>and we like Jeremy and Yeah, I just thought that

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.640
<v Speaker 4>that felt good, being like, oh, like, we're gonna use

0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:44.680
<v Speaker 4>this podcast to give this guy his moment, and that

0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 4>opportunity doesn't always present itself.

0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I completely agree. I agree, that's a good that's a

0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:57.280
<v Speaker 1>good call. And there is just something about interviewing people

0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:03.040
<v Speaker 1>in person that it just makes it like we could

0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:07.040
<v Speaker 1>have good conversations over Zoom.

0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:11.320
<v Speaker 2>We do, but it just makes it a more I

0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:13.959
<v Speaker 2>just feel like the guest.

0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Is more comfortable totally, because sometimes you can't always pick

0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:21.360
<v Speaker 1>up on our energy over you know, this little laptop

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:25.159
<v Speaker 1>screen and yeah, I think people could come on and

0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:29.680
<v Speaker 1>be very like cautious of just us. Yeah, and it

0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:34.720
<v Speaker 1>just makes it harder for people to want to open up,

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:40.520
<v Speaker 1>which I totally understand. So there is that connection in person.

0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:42.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and yeah, it looks like.

0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Bailey and Jeremy are still really happy. So happy for them.

0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 1>What's something about hosting the podcast this year that people

0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:57.520
<v Speaker 1>might not realize?

0:17:58.560 --> 0:17:59.920
<v Speaker 4>I mean there's so much I feel like we don't

0:17:59.920 --> 0:18:03.520
<v Speaker 4>real dive into the behind the scenes of this podcast

0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 4>or how it works. I guess something people might not

0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:09.439
<v Speaker 4>realize maybe they do, is like we fully set up

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.800
<v Speaker 4>and take down a podcast studio in our living room

0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:15.520
<v Speaker 4>every single time we record this. Like we have a

0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:18.760
<v Speaker 4>light on us right now, we have like full blown

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:22.879
<v Speaker 4>mic stands, we have systems attached to a work laptop,

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:28.119
<v Speaker 4>like we're doing our audio on garage band like we do.

0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:30.399
<v Speaker 4>There's like a whole set in here right now to

0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:32.560
<v Speaker 4>record this podcast that we literally set up and take

0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:33.720
<v Speaker 4>down every recording.

0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 1>It's also a very chaotic space right now too, with

0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:38.320
<v Speaker 1>like the Christmas tree and the lights.

0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:41.840
<v Speaker 2>And then dry and Yeah, there's a lot.

0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.640
<v Speaker 3>Going on off camera in this space.

0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:47.720
<v Speaker 4>But we do our best to make it look cute

0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 4>on zoom.

0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:51.240
<v Speaker 1>And then you obviously always want to prep for anyone

0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.320
<v Speaker 1>that you're interviewing, even though like we watch them on

0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:58.239
<v Speaker 1>the show. You want to get a little you know,

0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:02.160
<v Speaker 1>background into the But sometimes I like to do less

0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:05.399
<v Speaker 1>because I like to learn as I go, like on

0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:11.440
<v Speaker 1>the Spot, because I'm a very free spirited, curious, very

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:16.280
<v Speaker 1>curious person that when someone says something that I find intriguing,

0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I want to know more.

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:24.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, curious George, curious, curious Joe over here, I'd.

0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Lose it by mid Is there something you've learned as

0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.919
<v Speaker 1>a host about listening, asking questions or just showing up

0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:36.720
<v Speaker 1>for our conversations? I could go first on that. Okay, Yeah,

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:41.080
<v Speaker 1>I would say from doing this podcast and interviewing people,

0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:46.800
<v Speaker 1>definitely I've learned. Just I don't think I was a

0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:52.199
<v Speaker 1>really judging person ever going into this, but like you know,

0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:57.480
<v Speaker 1>always always sitting here being aware that there are two

0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:02.040
<v Speaker 1>sides to every story and even if the person is wrong,

0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, people make mistakes, and like I think it's

0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:11.920
<v Speaker 1>just going into every conversation not being judgmental because it's

0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:15.360
<v Speaker 1>easy to do and you watch something like what Reality

0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:17.800
<v Speaker 1>TV is great at is making you feel a certain

0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:21.040
<v Speaker 1>way about a certain person, and it's like these are

0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:25.800
<v Speaker 1>people and they're going through it, and even if they're

0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:28.800
<v Speaker 1>not aware of the mistake they made, like you know,

0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:32.679
<v Speaker 1>let's take it easy. So I think it's just like

0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:38.040
<v Speaker 1>giving people as much grace as possible because none of

0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:40.760
<v Speaker 1>us are perfect. And like, sure, it's easy for us

0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:46.440
<v Speaker 1>now because we were a successful story on the show

0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:49.480
<v Speaker 1>and everything went really well for us, and we are

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:51.959
<v Speaker 1>in control of this podcast, so we could kind of,

0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, we have a little more control. But like

0:20:56.040 --> 0:21:00.720
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, being able to just like understand, like, hey,

0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:02.399
<v Speaker 1>it's just not as easy for some people, and some

0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 1>people don't get as lucky as we did, and that's just.

0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:08.240
<v Speaker 5>To just be like mindful of that.

0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:08.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:10.959
<v Speaker 4>I feel like anyone that comes on this podcast, we

0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:16.240
<v Speaker 4>never have any preconceived plan to paint them in a

0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:18.639
<v Speaker 4>certain life or light or make them come off a

0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:20.480
<v Speaker 4>certain way. Like we really want to be a blank

0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:23.960
<v Speaker 4>canvas for them to come on and tell their story

0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:28.919
<v Speaker 4>their way so that people can see their point of view.

0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:33.200
<v Speaker 4>I think that my thing from a more like logistical

0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:37.360
<v Speaker 4>perspective is being prepared with questions and like the main

0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:38.919
<v Speaker 4>things that we want to get to the bottom of

0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:41.400
<v Speaker 4>and ask these people. Obviously we want to be prepared

0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:43.919
<v Speaker 4>and like know what the big topics are that we

0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:47.439
<v Speaker 4>need to cover. But when they're answering a question, like

0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:49.640
<v Speaker 4>not being like, Okay, we need to talk about this next,

0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:51.359
<v Speaker 4>so like we're gonna ask this next, like really listening

0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:55.520
<v Speaker 4>to what they're saying and letting their answer guide us

0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:58.040
<v Speaker 4>into what our next question is. Yeah, So it doesn't

0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:00.320
<v Speaker 4>just feel like question answer, question answer. Try to make

0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:03.879
<v Speaker 4>it feel fluid and like a conversation. And you know,

0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:07.000
<v Speaker 4>if they say something interesting in their answer, like pulling

0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:07.879
<v Speaker 4>that thread.

0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I think that that is one of the

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.000
<v Speaker 1>more challenging that's very.

0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:13.280
<v Speaker 3>I still struggle with that sometimes.

0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:17.840
<v Speaker 1>And that's also the challenging part of Zoom and Over

0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:19.480
<v Speaker 1>and not in person.

0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:21.280
<v Speaker 3>Interviews because it doesn't feel as intimate or personally.

0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:24.320
<v Speaker 1>It just makes it harder to get like, it makes

0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:28.159
<v Speaker 1>it harder for the conversation to flow more organically and

0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:34.440
<v Speaker 1>be able to pull things when Zoom is involved. Cool,

0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:37.360
<v Speaker 1>let's go one more and then we will wrap this thing.

0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Has doing this podcast changed how you think about Bachelor

0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Nation or the people who come out of it. I've

0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:52.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of always had, for the most part, the same

0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:59.600
<v Speaker 1>thoughts as far as like everyone's like, like I've I

0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:04.679
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I've ever had a bad interaction with

0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:08.960
<v Speaker 1>anybody off the show that I've that that's been on

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:11.439
<v Speaker 1>the show. Like even if you watch somebody, you're like,

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:15.200
<v Speaker 1>that person's a dick, Like, I don't think I've ever

0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:16.400
<v Speaker 1>had a bad.

0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:21.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I would say I'm pretty much always pleasantly surprised

0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:24.480
<v Speaker 4>by our guests. Yeah, And like I think that's a

0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:27.719
<v Speaker 4>good thing for people watching to keep in mind, is

0:23:27.760 --> 0:23:30.320
<v Speaker 4>like even if you think you can't stand this person,

0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:35.159
<v Speaker 4>you'll probably meet them in person and be like, oh,

0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:37.080
<v Speaker 4>never mind, Like they're great.

0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, definitely, definitely great. Well that wraps it.
