00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: It's true, but it's true. I can get a little rocky.

29
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: your instinct to give Cherry top billing? If it's just

30
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: a personal preference, no sense. Jason is coming out full

56
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: Missing and another one called Song Missing. And I would

57
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: say that pretty much all evidence that they ever happened

58
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: has been erased from the internet. Really in our memories.

59
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: You know, I still have my T shirt from Adventure

60
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,240

69
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: Oh wait, where is Was I the only one? Come on?

70
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: You should have seen that one coming. Um. We actually

71
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: got to suck question from a listener, Andrea J about

72
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: a wedding that happened over Zoom before these people had

73
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: ever met in real life because the pandemic had separated them,

74
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: and she was like, why don't you do a story

75
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: about like pandemic love stories or something like that, And

76
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: we were like, oh, I love that idea because there's

77
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: so many good ones, and immediately thought of you guys,

78
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: because of course we attended your Zoom wedding on our

79
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: own laptop, on our very own laptop, and it was

80
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: very special, and so yeah, I just thought you would

81
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: be such a great couple to like interview about what

82
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: that was really like, you know, internally in your heart.

83
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: We we definitely found some articles of other people, but

84
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: we can only guess, you know what it was kind

85
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: of felt like to have to deal with all that

86
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: a true firsthand. Yeah, of what a pandemic specifically in

87
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: your instance, because I mean, of course we had a

88
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: pandemic relationship, but it was like, you know, years into

89
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: our marriage and decade already married. But yeah, exactly, yeah sneze,

90
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: nobody cares about you. We didn't have anything to figure out.

91
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I guess we should start from the beginning. Yeah, definitely,

92
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: let's let's talk about how, you know, how you guys

93
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: met like sort of ancillary to that story in a way.

94
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: So because happening, So who were you as people at

95
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: this time? What kind of hot messes were you each? Like,

96
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: spare no details? Okay, okay, y die it. Um. So

97
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: for as far as I know, I remember you eli

98
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: doing shows with Jason for his variety show and he's

99
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: kind of like, well, hey, you know what if I

100
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: can get my entire theater group involved in this, um

101
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: And I had I think I already seen you and

102
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: Diana perform in one of Jason's shows. But I had

103
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: not met him yet, and I didn't meet him until

104
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: we did. The entire group did the Morrissey. It was

105
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: one of the most sparsely attended show that had. I

106
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever seen a thinner crowd. Is a

107
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: shame that show. Will you for the listeners just logline

108
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: give us a quick description of what scene and song

109
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: missing were like, Like what the setup was. Well, we

110
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: had a live band play a one minute cover of

111
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: the song, and then we had a performer come out

112
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: and do a seven minute performance as a as a

113
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: response to the song. Right, anything could be dance, could

114
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: be comedy, burlesque. We had everything and y'all came out

115
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: and did and we did uh sketches we did. I

116
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: think it was like three sketches that were based on

117
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: the origin of Morrissey's veganism. Yeah, oh my god. Before

118
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: the show, you know, we're backstage and Eli is like, oh, well,

119
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, meet the guy who's in charge of these shows.

120
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: And you know, we just lined up and shook Jason's

121
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: hand and I was like, okay, you had dollar signs

122
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: in your eyes, Like I gotta get into this guy

123
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: runs this town producer. I would have I should have,

124
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: but honestly, at the time, I was just like, all right,

125
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: nice to meet you, sir. If you if you looked

126
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: out at that crowd and thought I was the one,

127
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: really okay, it wasn't. It was a it was a

128
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: big venue. I mean we had too but you know

129
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: it was really about you know, well, there's really no

130
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: need to bring more stand to this. The Ade show

131
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: I remember, was very well attended. I love it. Yeah, Taylor,

132
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: who knew Beyonce could bring a crowd in? You know

133
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: what huge? It was like standing remotely. But it's funny

134
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: that you picked the Morrissey Show is the point, because

135
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: for me, it's more about when you messaged me on

136
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: Facebook and you were like, let's get together. Oh like

137
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: that sporting like, so, I mean we only they only

138
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: have an hour. I mean you don't need to, Like

139
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: you're making it sound crazy like the day after she

140
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: was like like months later, we did a nineteen hour

141
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: episode on Maximilian and Carlotta in Mexico. So it's it's

142
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: it's fun, don't worry. Well, but before that point, you

143
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: were just a performer to me, and you were just

144
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: another facing the crowd, and you were just totally this,

145
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: you know. Okay, so really short version like we um

146
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 1: as twin Head. We did a few more shows. It

147
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: was like a Star Wars show and that was so fun.

148
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: I love hilarious. Our budget Amidala was so terrible. Anyway,

149
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: that was amazing, I mean, oh good. Anyway, so there's

150
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: this part in that Star Wars show where I sang

151
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: and Adele song a Dell parody. Well I don't even

152
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: remember how what it was. I mean it was about

153
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: jar right, No, anyway, anyway, Hello from the Dark Side.

154
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah there, yeah, so I sung, I belted that

155
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: out of course and yeah, while the crowd they're like,

156
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: and then who is she? Jason messaged me strictly as

157
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: a showrunner to a parmer, saying, hey, hey, we're doing

158
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: actually doing Adele next month. Do you want to I

159
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: can put you in the Adele show. And I'm like, yes,

160
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: of course, and um I wanted to. I just I

161
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: really just didn't want to do the show by myself,

162
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: and so that's why I asked Diana to be in

163
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: the show with us. And we wrote an amazing piece

164
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: and just rocked the house. We were singing and I

165
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: was playing guitar and like it was packed house, is

166
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: a great night. So from there, I remember Jason on

167
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: stage actually at the Star Wars show talking about him

168
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: being recently single. Here's kind of like perked up like, oh,

169
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: I don't think everyone's everyone in my area, my straight

170
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: up to the ceiling feet there, uh let single, recently

171
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: vulnerable emotional damage. I immediately went to sort of thinking like, well,

172
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: you know, there's no reason why everybody at this packed

173
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: house doesn't mean there isn't a reason why they can't

174
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: know that I'm single. Yeah, because you know m yeah,

175
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: yeah that's good. Yeah, biggest crowd you can Did you

00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: and then known me for years completely separately. And I said, hey,

00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: I heard just Rallary single, and what's what's he like?

182
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,560

Speaker 1: for some reason just sort of like that's like my

221
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,479

254
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: very thoughtful, and she was like that I didn't want

255
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: to spring to my daughter, and I'm going to get

256

Speaker 1: in you know. She was like, it's d n A coded.

267
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: If it doesn't get on Cherry's finger in the next

268
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: two months, it will explode in your pocket. So impressed,

Speaker 1: my there we go, wait a minute, shattered it said,

272
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: it's so clearly the beginning listeners don't understand the restraint

273
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: going in this episode, not being just me and Jason

274
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,120

Speaker 1: What happened in New Orleans? Yeah? Well, we had a

278
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: New Orleans trip coming up, and UM, I was like, oh, well,

279
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: I'll just I'll simply propose in New Orleans. And then

280
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: I got there and you know, of course the ring

281
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: is back in my closet, and I like Texas and friends,

282
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 1: and I was like, hey, like airmail it. Can we

283
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: figure this out somehow? Yeah, airmail it. But there really

284
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: wasn't a good way to get them in there and

285
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: then get it airmail and all that stuff. And I

286
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, I'm I'm pretty smart. I

287
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: can I can figure out a second proposal. You know,

288
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: I know what I'm doing this special? So what do

289
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: you do? Um? We went to um five guys and

290
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: I found right there on the red tile, and I

291
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: said it was actually around a peanut. No, and you

292
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: almost been into it. I see. Okay, okay, you like

293
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: to picture like the CEO of five guys somehow hearing

294
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: this and being like, hey, that's actually that wouldn't be

295
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: too crazy is a fine place to propose. Three out

296
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: of the five guys do listen to this show regularly. Well,

297
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: I just I just we had an upstairs, like an upstairs. Yeah,

298
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: it's like a loft, but we use it as an office,

299
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: our guest room, but we also use it for like

300
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: romantic dinners. Yeah, that was pandemic dinner, right, um, but

301
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: we had also this is quarantine dinner, so we're post

302
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: pandemic at this point. Out. No, I'm just trying to

303
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: not make it sound like a damn utility room. I

304
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,040

333
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,159

391
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: to a halt shut down. Um. Well, it was very

392
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: funny to me though, because one of the reasons I

393
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: was saying you like was in in the party was

394
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: because we specifically you and I had to have a

395
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: conversation about are we doing this? We're doing this? Are

396
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: we gonna go on this bachelor trip? And we were

397
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: so night we were like, I might be delayed a

398
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: few weeks. Yeah, We're still figuring out should we go.

399
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: There was all this like should we go stuff of

400
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: the news, It's like, this is the deadliest thing we've

401
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: ever seen in our life. Stay home, And we were

402
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: and people were still in our brains just like, oh,

403
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: are we gonna go to New Orleans now? And then finally,

404
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think reality just said. I was like,

405
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think around June is that when

406
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: you canceled. Oh yeah, wedding stuff was in the summertime.

407
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: I don't remember when we officially canceled. The October stuff. Well,

408
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, we did because we had never really because

409
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: we had had the engagement party already, which went off

410
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: without a hitch, beautiful engagement party before COVID, and then

411
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: we just straight up I don't think we ever even

412
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: contacted the venue, did we they contacted us? No, we

413
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: did contact them, and they were very gracious and gave

414
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: us a full refund on our deposit, which was amazing

415
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: at the time because we were both laid off, right,

416
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: that's right right near the yeah, weeks of each other

417
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: in March, Like in March, we're both laid off, and

418
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: it was just devastating. Yeah. So I was like, you

419
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: ain't got no job, you ain't got no wedding. But

420
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: it was just devastated. Yeah, And um, you know, we

421
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: we canceled the the bachelorette party, um immediately, and we

422
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: did a bachelorette zoom, which was so real. It was

423
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: It was fun, but it was real because it was like, um,

424
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: this is so close and yet so far from what

425
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: we want to We had so many plans and it

426
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: was I remember drinking a lot on that zoom and

427
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: vomiting after the zoom, So I felt like it was

428
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: a success in that way. But yeah, I think I

429
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: think maybe around the summer, we're just like, there's no

430
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: way that we are going to have this wedding in October.

431
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: But you know, the whole summer of COVID and not

432
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: having jobs and it was it was just a lot,

433
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: and we really wanted something to celebrate. Yeah, we we

434
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: needed something to celebrate. So we decided, you know what,

435
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: fuck it, let's just let's just do it. Let's just

436
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: do it. To go ahead and have a ceremony, invite

437
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: our my family, um, you know, have some friends who

438
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: are ordained come help us, and had some friends hold

439
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: hold hold the laptop, hold the cameras. It was a

440
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: bare bare minimum or like bare bare bones staff. I

441
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: guess I don't know what you're calling. Yes, Avage Town Park,

442
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: which is where we were living at the time. Um,

443
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: and you know it's a very special neighborhood to us,

444
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: very special parks. So we thought makes all of sense.

445
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: And you know, outdoors, this is pretty vaccine, so you know,

446
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: we were still kind of like, I'm shore how to

447
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: be safe at the time. So like even during the ceremony,

448
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: like we were all in masks, even outdoors. My mom

449
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, she's older and I'm like I want to

450
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: take care of her, and it would kill me if

451
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: she got sick, especially coming to our wedding. It would

452
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: just like be devastating. So just try to be as

453
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: careful as possible. We're all masked, um, all our closest

454
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: friends on the zoom. It was overwhelming. It was really

455
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: it was really stressful. M hmm. That day, I don't

456
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: of course, it's a very good day, very happy day,

457
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: but also it was a very sad day and um,

458
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: like it's kind of hard for me to look at

459
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: photos of that day because it's it's like it's like

460
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: mixed feelings, you know, it's like, oh my god, of

461
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: course it's our wedding day. We're you know, I have

462
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: my you know, pretty dressed that I picked out in

463
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: the beautiful flowers and everything. But just knowing like everything

464
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: that happened that day and just like how scared we

465
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: were and just didn't know how an everything was going

466
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: to work with my family coming in, um from out

467
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 1: of town. It was stressful and like I had to

468
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: do so much that day as I felt like I'm

469
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: a lot and it's like you, of course, who's gonna

470
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: do my makeup? I'm gonna hire some please don't come.

471
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm like doing my makeup while also like

472
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: wrangling my family and like trying to curl my hair.

473
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: But it's like I feel like I look like, you know,

474
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 1: like a shlow I look crazy. And then of course

475
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm like crying, so my eyes are just like of

476
00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 1: course crying for masking. But like the photos just say

477
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: to me like so much more than just like oh,

478
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: this is my beautiful wedding day and so cherry. I

479
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 1: imagine too that. I mean there must be an element,

480
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: you know, not to not to drudge up all the sadness,

481
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: but you must be thinking on the day too of

482
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: what it's not right, like what the wedding you'd planned

483
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: versus what's going on to that's that must be well yeah,

484
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: of course, And I mean I I was never the

485
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: type of girl to like daydream about her wedding and

486
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: just like oh, you know, picking out dresses, you know,

487
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: years before I even meet somebody. You know, I was

488
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: that person. So and like I just was like never

489
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: a big wedding person. But you know when you when

490
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: you meet somebody and over heels for them, and you know,

491
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: things change, and like we've been planning this event for

492
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 1: a year, and we had lots of things picked out.

493
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: We had you know, we're meeting with caters, we were

494
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: tasting food like we had plans in place, and to

495
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 1: just like have it completely thrown out the window like

496
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: was was awful. And you know, I wrestled with those

497
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 1: thoughts of like I don't need those weddings. You know,

498
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: I don't need a big wedding. I don't need this

499
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: and that to have a wedding. It's like, you know,

500
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: I know what means. I had the plans for it.

501
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: You know, I already envisioned it, like I tried on dresses,

502
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: like it was. It was just a real mind fuck.

503
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: There's no way the other way to put it. Was

504
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: like it completely flucked with my mind. I'll say as

505
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: a as an attendee, it was the easiest wedding I've

506
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: ever had to prepare for. Were I know, did you

507
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: guys dress up for those zoom? I think we did.

508
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: We did a little. I don't know. I wasn't too fancy,

509
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: but we definitely weren't wearing pajamas or anything wanted at

510
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 1: least fine, which would have been But I did notice

511
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: some people have actually dressed up and put on like

512
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: a little tie and stuff, and that made even like

513
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: more adorable. And yeah, and I think that was something

514
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: that a lot of these zoom weddings and stuff have

515
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: in common, is that people like you were like, I

516
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: just need something to feel good about. And so even

517
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: the attendees were like, oh, something to feel good about,

518
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: you know, like I'm gonna get into it as much

519
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: as I can exactly exactly well, I will say on

520
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: my side of things for the wedding, like this is

521
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: a really clumsy analogy, but I think of it as

522
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: baby Yoda. Jason's got an analogy just way our love

523
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: in the marriage, the part where you say I do

524
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: and I you know, we say I do to each other,

525
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: we say what's in our hearts to each other, and

526
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: we have a ceremony. The ceremony itself and completing the

527
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: ceremony is maybe yoda, okay, you know. And not to

528
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: spoil the Mandalorian for everybody, but he got him there,

529
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Some some things tried to

530
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:23,959
Speaker 1: kill them along the way, right, stuff happened. Maybe maybe

531
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: this is kind of closer to if the Mandalorian had

532
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,439
Speaker 1: really got his ass beats and like lost a lamb

533
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: or something like maybe if you shape when he got there.

534
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 1: But the point is, the important thing is baby Yoda

535
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: got there and no Sith killed him, right right. We

536
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 1: did it that close rights, But yeah, I mean because

537
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 1: like at one point we were talking about the wedding

538
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: and we were we were also saying like we literally

539
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: remember saying like adding like and also because we might die,

540
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: and You're like, yes, we might die, and so we

541
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: kind of looked at you that were like, we might die,

542
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: let's get married, you know exactly. And it seems like

543
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: hyperbetly right now, maybe because people are all chill about

544
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,919
Speaker 1: right now for some reason, but like, you know, back then,

545
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 1: it was straight up like I would. I just remember

546
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: just sitting there being like, damn, I might die. You

547
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: know I didn't die. Yeah, all of us like and

548
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: and so it really did motivate us to you know,

549
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: go we feel like and also like we went down

550
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: to the courthouse because the courthouse wasn't like going to

551
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: let you do it online. They're like you down here

552
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: for the mar for the marriage license, and so we

553
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: just put it do massed up. We came down there.

554
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: We hadn't done that for hours plus and if if

555
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: our for our listeners, who aren't you know who from

556
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: out of state in Georgia at the marriage license office,

557
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 1: you go in and the governor has to sneeze in

558
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: your face. That's like that's an old law. Um, so

559
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: that makes it a lot of trick or two do

560
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: you think he had better things to do if he

561
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:15,720
Speaker 1: can catch you? There is the running claus, the rules

562
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: the pursuit. First you can if you don't run, you know,

563
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: you can just take the sneeze. Yeah, we we you know,

564
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: we crossed. We gotta cross the finish line. And my

565
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: thinking is also, you know, like we will have that ceremony,

566
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: like we will have that celebration. Yeah, Like the wedding

567
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: is still going to happen, you know, and as far

568
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, the original version of the wedding, Yeah exactly.

569
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: So like we're going to get what's coming to us,

570
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,439
Speaker 1: you know, right, yeah, Like and so I guess that's

571
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,720
Speaker 1: why it's like, yeah, that day it was ups and downs.

572
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: It's great, Like no need to sugarcoat it. It was tough,

573
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 1: but it was so beautiful, right Yeah. I love that. Yeah,

574
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: like surrounded by friends like you guys, uh, we're on

575
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: the zoom and you know, our our dearest friends were present.

576
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: And also I had a friend, uh make a bouquet

577
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: for me and drive it down. Um. Yeah, we had

578
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: a picnic. It was yes, friends brought over food from

579
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: one of our favorite restaurants. It was, and they gave

580
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 1: us a free ball of champagne. It was like, there

581
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 1: were lots of really sweet, sweet moments. So since then,

582
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: you're talking about one day you'll have this ceremony, but

583
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: you've been trying to make cherry. You made the bachelorette

584
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: party work in there? Yeah we did. Yeah, yeah, tell

585
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: us about that. Well we I think it was like

586
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 1: around the time of the vaccines. Yeah, we're all like, um,

587
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: getting me getting the jabs, and we think we're thinking, okay,

588
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: we'll let's let's do this because we all, you know,

589
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 1: we all want to trip. We all we all want

590
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: to get that escape from what we had just lived through. Um,

591
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: So we all as a group thought, you know, let's go,

592
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: let's try maybe the leader this year. And then I

593
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: remember that Art Basil, the Art the big art festival

594
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: that happens down in um Miami was happening the first

595
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: weekend in December, and I pitched that idea and everyone's like, yes,

596
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,479
Speaker 1: surely everyone's going to be vaccinated right by the time,

597
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 1: and everybody the whole country is going to be partying.

598
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: So it's almost like that was something. When we were there,

599
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm almost like this, it's almost worked

600
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: out better because instead of going in April, we got

601
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: to go for Art Basil and it was such a funny,

602
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: like Miami Art Week was happening, and they had all

603
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: these artists at Winwood Walls doing like graffiti mural like

604
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: after a mural painting. It's really cool. So it's just

605
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,240
Speaker 1: a totally different experience than it would have been in April.

606
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: So it was kind of a silver lining for me personally.

607
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: I can make it all that meat for a minute. No,

608
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: I'm on the same page with you. Like it was

609
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: like kind of two two birds, one stone. You got

610
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: to fit all this amazing, these amazing art events into

611
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: that into being a bachelorette and party. And so that

612
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: was December of twenty one and Jason, so you started

613
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: planning You're a version of your bachelor party around that time. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

614
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna go on trip like you know, well, well

615
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: I had a big party of Grimsman, fairly large at least,

616
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: but you know, after COVERD it's you know, it made

617
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:53,919
Speaker 1: more sense to just break it up and then maybe

618
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 1: smaller trips or like seeing one and all that stuff.

619
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 1: But so we were going to take like a real

620
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: low key trip to New Orleans and uh and I again,

621
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: you know, I was going to propose to you Eli,

622
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: second wedding, second breakfast, I'll wait for the candles. I know,

623
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: I want to have no pants up six plan my

624
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: sister wife Eli. Yeah, And it really was. It was like, Cherry,

625
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: you've had your fun, Mimi worked out. I took care

626
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 1: of the all time you were gone of the dogs. Um,

627
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: and then the next variant hit acron and then we

628
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: just were like we gotta call it, like, we gotta

629
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: call it. We plan it. A little bit later we

630
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: would have been fine, yeah, or a little bit earlier.

631
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: It was really like the worst possible time right in

632
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: that horrible spike. Yeah, COVID to me is like a

633
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: menal crow. It's just like it's like sometimes it will

634
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: come and it'll pet catch you. Yeah, but it's always nearby,

635
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: hovering over, looming over your plans. Sometimes they'll leave you alone.

636
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 1: So we will one day, at some point soon take

637
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: this trip down to New Orleans. You have your bachelor party,

638
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: and then you guys will have your your fancy wedding. Yes,

639
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: is there all happening in the future. Yes, here's the thing. Oh, Jerry,

640
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: here comes the news. I mean I have learned any

641
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: lessons from this, it's that you can never say this

642
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: will happen. Right, There's no more certainty for anything, right

643
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: right right that we said the ceremony definitely will happen. Okay,

644
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 1: but well, just because, like I said, we're getting what's

645
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: owed to us, we got something coming to bake some kneecaps.

646
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: I am the person where if I feel like the

647
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 1: universe owes me something, I'll get real real well, yeah,

648
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: rolled up cranking about just like you owe me. I

649
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: know you understand that. You you'd say you have a

650
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: sense of entitlement as a as I don't know a

651
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: guy I don't know like guy guy in America. I

652
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: feel because I feel the same thing regularly. I do

653
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: feel like I'm owed a little bit more than what

654
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm getting. I am like the most easy to get

655
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 1: along with. I'm just saying I never make demands of

656
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: the universe, so to speak. I never say I never

657
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: expect stuff, but I'm just saying, and it's one thing.

658
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: It's one thing. That's the thing. I'm not saying like

659
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,919
Speaker 1: I'm owe this, that and the other, right, all these things,

660
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm just saying as far as the wedding is concerned.

661
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: I mean, oh, it is the wrong word to use.

662
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm just like, this is this

663
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: is something that has to happen. It can feel like

664
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: it has felt robbed from you several times at the point. Yeah, no,

665
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: I totally understand that if we can make it, make

666
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: it work. It's like, well then damn it, let's make

667
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: it work. Let's make it happen. But on the other hand,

668
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: I really want to make sure that it doesn't take

669
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 1: away from the original day of our wedding, because that's

670
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: very special. Yeah, yeah, you know, I won't take anything away. Yeah,

671
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: and if you know, if things go Core McK McCarthy

672
00:47:50,000 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: the road style, you'd now, I do love imagining McCarthy

673
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 1: listening to this and Friend of the show, Friend of

677
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: they're upper echelon. But I'm just saying, if we have

678
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: to get married in the Fallout universe again with another ceremony,

679
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: that's fine. That's you'll still make it beautiful. I know, yeah,

Speaker 1: exactly high water really yeah, and we'll go to New Orleans.

Speaker 1: do hope we get an in person ceremony, damn it.

688
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: But if knock on wood, the worst happens, and for

689
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: some reason you have to make some creative ship up again.

690
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,959
Speaker 1: There is some options because I know you guys play

691
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: Sims and we actually Cherry and Jason made Eli and

692
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: Diana Sims that live in their Sims. And I'm a

693
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: very successful writer, so that's exciting. And I am an

694
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: interesting actor in your Sims world, so it's your reality

695
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 1: and interesting. Am I successful? Now that's good. Okay, there

696
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: you go. You made it. Last time you showed me myself,

697
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: I was wearing an insane costume doing I think job

698
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,359
Speaker 1: for very little money, which is not outside the norm.

699
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: So sounds like an actor to me. But I thought

700
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: of y'all because because we saw this couple who got

701
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,760
Speaker 1: married in animal crossing and it wasn't like a legal

702
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 1: ceremony obviously, but they had a very similar situation where

703
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: they had this big wedding planned and for April, so

704
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: of course they had to cancel it pretty early on,

705
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,240
Speaker 1: like almost immediately. I guess as soon as March happened,

706
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: they were kind of like, well, I guess there goes that.

707
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: And uh. The groom, Nasmal Ahmed, his fiancee Sharman Asha,

708
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: was just like really bummed because she was also graduating

709
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: from medical school and she would not get a graduation ceremony,

710
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: so again a lot like y'all, she just had a

711
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: lot of hits at once from the COVID situation, and

712
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: so he was like, I just wanted to mark the

713
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 1: date that we would have tied the knot in person.

714
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to do something on that day. So he

715
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 1: had actually gotten her plan animal crossing and he was like,

716
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: come on to my island and get some resources. And

717
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 1: when she got there, he had like there were all

718
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: these arrows pointing and he was like, oh, it must

719
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 1: be some special in game event. Let's do it. And

720
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: so they followed the little arrows and he had left

721
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: flowers for her all the way along, so she was

722
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,320
Speaker 1: picking up flowers until they got to the beach and

723
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 1: he had set up this little altar and a bunch

724
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: of their friends avatars were there because they had fried

725
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of their friends to come into animal crossing.

726
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: And then he started like they had all been on

727
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: mute on zoom, and he like on muted and they

728
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: were all like hey, you know, and she had all

729
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 1: these friends there and they did this really cute little

730
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: animal crossing thing and that was just adorable. So I

731
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, well, we know they can sims it

732
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: up because you already have so many of your friends

733
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: in there. You could just invite them all to the wedding.

734
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: And I'm assuming this animal crossing wedding went off without

735
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: a hitch, right, Yeah, he said it took four or

736
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: five hours to put together, but it went really well. Right,

737
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: So it's like a smooth that little they're playing the

738
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: banjo or whatever. He's there. They had fruit, I'm sure

739
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 1: apples and pears. Probably Tom Nook I believe is the mayor. Yeah, yeah,

740
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 1: there you go. Yeah, I don't want to switch. But

741
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: I watched a lot of video games YouTube plays, like

742
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: I know, Animal Crossing, but I've never been there. But

743
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: it's like it's like France, Like I know a lot

744
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: about France, but I've never been quizzed on France. I

745
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: would fail. Right, Well, I'll tell you it'll probably be

746
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: better than this first marriage in the metaverse that we found.

747
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 1: So I'm sure. I hope everybody knows what the metaverse is.

748
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 1: I hope everybody doesn't. I know, I know, I hate it.

749
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: I think it sounds crazy, but of course, you know

750
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,800
Speaker 1: this is Zuckerberg came out and was like, I'm putting

751
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 1: all my money in on this. Uh, you know virtual

752
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: world that you can have an avatar is right. It

753
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: looks so blocky and weird and everything like this white

754
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 1: like with like a weird hat on. I don't really

755
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 1: understand what they are. All one color and it's so weird.

756
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: It's just creepy looking. I'm not cute. But anyway, if

757
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: you like the metaverse, sorry, I'm going to trash it

758
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:27,240
Speaker 1: as entire like the metaverse. If you love it, explain

759
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: it to me, Explain it to me, reach out. We're

760
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 1: always very open to learning on this show. Absolutely, but

761
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 1: I am willing to hear an argument in favor of

762
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: the metaverse. I am super skeptical, but yeah, this wedding

763
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 1: is like it's it's meant to be a space where

764
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: you can hang out with people virtually a lot, like

765
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: a zoom or sins or animal crossing situation. But it

766
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:57,959
Speaker 1: just looks so busted. Anyway, There's an Indian couple. There's

767
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: an Indian couple named Danesh and Johnagan Nandini who got

768
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: married in February of this year, February six in a

769
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,919
Speaker 1: small tribal village of savan Lingo Perum. And of course

770
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 1: Indian weddings traditional Hindu weddings. I don't know if you

771
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: all know this, but they're huge. You invite tons of

772
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 1: people to Hindu wedding. You got to basically invite the

773
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: entire city, it seems. I know, I would love to go,

774
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: Oh my god, so but because of the pandemic, they

775
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 1: had to cap their attendants at a hundred people, and

776
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: an intimate Hindu wedding is around one d fifty to

777
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 1: two hundred people. That's like a small wedding for them.

778
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: So they were like, oh, this is not going to

779
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: work out. So Denish decides to solve this problem with

780
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 1: the metaverse. He was already really big into like blockchain,

781
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: blockchain technology. He was mining cryptocurrency himself and stuff, so

782
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: he was like, the metaverse is where it's at. So

783
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: they got a startup called tardi Verse to work for

784
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 1: a month to create their like metaverse reception area, right,

785
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 1: and it's this like really bizarre room. I mean it

786
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 1: looks like the basement of a Y M c A

787
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,399
Speaker 1: or something. It's like a church basement with a few

788
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 1: tables graphics, right, I mean like old nineties windows, windows

789
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: two thousand graphics. Uh. There's they've got avatars of the

790
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 1: bride and groom standing there at the front, and they're

791
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: in unison, like lifting their hands and waving like they're

792
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 1: on the same animation pattern, the bride and groom, so

793
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: they're just copies of each other. And then they have

794
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 1: an avatar of her late father who had passed away

795
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 1: in April and then that's sweet. I mean, you know,

796
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: if that's that's something that they wanted to be able

797
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: to do, and hey, technology allowed that, so there's something there.

798
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: I guess it's kind of weird. Um Danish told CNN quote,

799
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 1: So I'm creating a three D avatar that looks similar

800
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: to him, and he will bless me and my fiance.

801
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: That's something we can only do in the metaverse. So

802
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 1: that's you know, you know, metaverse. It's called up the

803
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: hologram of Rob kardashianh Yeah, Kim got for her birthday

804
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 1: one time or something, and it was like, I don't know,

805
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: if I don't know how I feel about it, would

806
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 1: would it be weird? I mean it is weird. It's

807
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: weird to do it to someone who didn't kind of

808
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,479
Speaker 1: expected or give permission for it. That's kind of weird

809
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 1: to me. But you know, it's their family. She would

810
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 1: know him and if he'd be cool with that or not. Um,

811
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,800
Speaker 1: but these guys, these two are both huge Harry Potter

812
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: fans also so opted for this Harry Potter theme. So

813
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 1: this room it takes place in is supposed to be

814
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: this big stone castle, but its like it's a big

815
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: empty room with just like a couple of tables and chairs.

816
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 1: Like the outside looks like a big stone castle, but

817
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 1: the outside it looks like tile or something. I was like,

818
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 1: I was expecting like a great hall with like some

819
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,800
Speaker 1: candles floating. You know, you know I'm talking about Harry

820
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:03,479
Speaker 1: Potter ship, but it did not. Limits of the metaverse. Yeah,

821
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:08,320
Speaker 1: they're just standing there doing this weird simulated motion of

822
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: blowing kisses to the crowd together in unison and uh

823
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,280
Speaker 1: and the bride's father is sitting off to the side

824
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: in this like egg chair like the men in chairs,

825
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 1: which also is not a Harry Potter thing. I was like,

826
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: he should be in the freaking candle. I mean, wow,

827
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna get some emails to that Dolf in the

828
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: Harry Potter verse. Sorry I meant Merlin, Sorry, thank you. Sorry.

829
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,920
Speaker 1: You know what I meant, Merland a famous Harry Potter wizards,

830
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: the only wizard in Harry Potter reel, Like if I die.

831
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: Uh huh, you guys have a chance to make a

832
00:57:54,680 --> 00:58:00,120
Speaker 1: little avatar amy any of your party's events whatever. Uh

833
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: huh um feel free, I say thank you. I don't anymore.

834
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: So let's see what what other meat has to say,

835
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 1: what if we find out in the future that if

836
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: you create a digital avatar of someone, it traps their

837
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: soul in it. Good now, it like sucks you back, good,

838
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 1: but then may be sladed by all these weird chalk

839
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: white avatars with little weird oil cans. Stuck in an

840
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: egg chair forever, just wave motion over and over again

841
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: for eternity. I posit this to you. Okay, you know, huh,

842
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 1: that's not what our current reality is, and that's some

843
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: version of you has been created to contain and imprison

844
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 1: your soul. Look, and I am certain that we are

845
00:58:55,800 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: in a PlayStation fifteen digital reality was like, looking, okay,

846
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 1: did you ever play Civilization? Sidmeyer? Civilization very first one? Okay,

847
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 1: you're playing this game. You start in BC, you're building cities.

848
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 1: When you get to the year two thousand and between

849
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: two thousand and when the game force ends, that temperature

850
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 1: on the planet is rising. All the nations are building

851
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 1: nukes and starting to get mad at each other. There's

852
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: diseases going around. It just feels a little too on

853
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: the nose for the date they chose and the ship

854
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 1: that's going on, And I'm like, we're probably playing Civilization

855
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: sixteen right now, right, we just don't know it. One

856
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 1: day we'll take our goggles off and be like, oh

857
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 1: my god, that game sucks. I have some Yeah, the

858
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 1: weddings were nice, and can I get a cheat code

859
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 1: next time? I think it's very sweet that you're like, oh,

860
00:59:56,760 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 1: it's a game and not a optimistic Yeah, a little

861
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: a prison. I don't know. I'm not trying to depress everybody.

862
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: Is this a comedy show? By the way, well, their

863
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: wedding also, in cl course, had to include an n

864
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 1: f T collection. So if y'all's wedding, if your sim

865
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: wedding doesn't have an n f T for me to

866
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: take home, I don't know what kind of wedding it is.

867
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: But they had n f T s of the backgrounds

868
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:38,439
Speaker 1: and attires from the Harry Potter and the cyberpunk era,

869
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: is what it said. You could also purchase the glass

870
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 1: or I don't know if you could purchase these or

871
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 1: if they were gifts, but it said they also had

872
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 1: the classic wedding attire featuring the bride groom and the

873
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 1: bride's late father, so I guess you could like keep

874
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: them for your own metaverse or something like that. Is

875
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: that how it works. I think you have the outfit,

876
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 1: the avatar or the outfit it just said, the attire.

877
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: You can get the grooms outfit and save it for

878
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 1: your avatar and then put it on your own at

879
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 1: what a gift. What a gift. It's rare that the

880
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 1: groom gifts his own tuxedo. Now that's a tradition right there,

881
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 1: Like at the end of the wedding, the groom strips

882
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 1: to throw his tuxedo behind him, catches it. Whoever catches

883
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 1: it as trapped in the metamse. Whoever catches it owes

884
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: you an n FC of a or whatever. I'm gonna

885
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 1: keep it. Sure would it have been better if okay,

886
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: let's say the same scenario, right, Okay, let's say the

887
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: textures are a little nicer and you're wearing something where

888
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 1: you can physically feel contact. Oh yeah, yeah, okay, like

889
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 1: Ready Player one, Like yeah, would that have changed things

890
01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 1: and the way that you know about this wedding for me? Yes?

891
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: Because then I'm like, at least there's a new and

892
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 1: a new technology that seems to have value to me

893
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: being added by this metaverse thing, as opposed to like, well,

894
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 1: I can put goggles on and pretend I'm and look

895
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:16,439
Speaker 1: around in this weird digital landscape. But it's not doing

896
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: much for me. I mean, I wasn't into second life

897
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 1: when it happened, and adding some goggles, heavy goggles to

898
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: that is not going to change it. I heard a

899
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: guy saying, you know, I tested out Metaverse for my

900
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 1: company meetings, and I've got these huge goggles on my face,

901
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 1: and so I like, can't drink my coffee while I'm

902
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:36,920
Speaker 1: in the meeting. It's like when we were just on

903
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 1: Zoom it was fine, and I also still existed in

904
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: reality and could just drink my damn coffee. But why

905
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 1: I got to wear these damn goggles. Yeah, it doesn't

906
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: feel immersive enough to be worth it at least yet.

907
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure that it'll be cool. You know, a lot

908
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 1: of people are working on it and throwing all their

909
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 1: weight behind it, so I'm sure it will be some

910
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 1: cool things about it later. And I don't blame this

911
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 1: this couple for being like, hey, this is cool. Sure,

912
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 1: I like this stuff. I'll be the first wedding in

913
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 1: the in the Metaverse. It's true somewhere, definitely, But I

914
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 1: feel like if it were me, I would have been like,

915
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 1: I want to wait until there's a little more texture,

916
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 1: a little more options. Maybe it doesn't look like an

917
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 1: old video game until I can put on a suit

918
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 1: that allows me to feel that I can feel anything.

919
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, well, people pat me on the back,

920
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 1: I can feel it, right, and then all the guests

921
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,439
Speaker 1: will look like different individuals instead of just a bunch

922
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 1: of the same avatar with just a name like Packard

923
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 1: above their head or whatever. I don't know, it's just

924
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 1: and there's something about but I always feel a little distant,

925
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 1: you know. I've never really been so immersed in a

926
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 1: any kind of virtual thing to not be like, I know,

927
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm not there, so I just feel a little in

928
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 1: the same way. It's weird when you're already in a

929
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: virtual simulation to take you further into a virtual simulation.

930
01:03:56,720 --> 01:04:00,280
Speaker 1: It's kind of because we're already in a civilization game, right,

931
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: So maybe that says my intuition is going, we can't

932
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 1: do this twice. Even the PlayStation fifteen has its limits.

933
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 1: Wait till the sixteen comes out, you won't be able

934
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:19,440
Speaker 1: to tell all right, Well, Cherry and Jason, thank you

935
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: so much, or Jason and Cherry, I'll give you the

936
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 1: first one. We're so excited you guys came into. Yeah,

937
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 1: give people a little taste. I'm sure there are many

938
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 1: people out there listeners of this show who had similar

939
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 1: pandemic relationship experiences. Um, you know, y'all please write in

940
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 1: and tell us all about them, because I'm sure they're

941
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 1: all they all probably share a lot, and they're all

942
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: probably each incredibly unique as well. Um, but I think

943
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: it's really cool that you came in and gave us

944
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 1: a glimpse into what how that affected things for you

945
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 1: and how you managed to kind of persevere through it

946
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 1: and make it all work out still in your favor.

947
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 1: That's really awesome. And you're still going strong. You made

948
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 1: it through a quarantine together, you can make it through

949
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 1: the rest of life together. Yeah, still together. Sure they

950
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 1: say that, they say the first five years of a marriage,

951
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 1: I think are are supposed to be the hardest, And

952
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 1: I feel like, I feel like, just as much as

953
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: long as it's been for you guys in this time

954
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 1: counts for like ten So I know, right one lockdown

955
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 1: was like a year. Yeah says that. What people say that,

956
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 1: it's like, what's That's not how it's supposed to work?

957
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 1: At all. Yeah, Yeah, that's just the rule. The first years.

958
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 1: The rest was hard because it's supposed to be a

959
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,320
Speaker 1: good five years. They're supposed to tell you that when

960
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 1: you get sneezed on. Yeah, they're like, yeah, running. I

961
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 1: don't think it's the first five years the hardest. I

962
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 1: think it's like marriages that last five years are more

963
01:05:53,320 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 1: likely to business thing, and they're like business last five Yes,

964
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: exactly what. You're starting a small business, starting a small business.

965
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 1: If you can keep up five years. You got a

966
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 1: top eight reasons for divorce why marriages fail after five years.

967
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 1: That's from fatherly dot com. Well, maybe five years is

968
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: just the magic number for a lot of different things. Look,

969
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 1: they say, you might uh issues, you might have his

970
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:29,479
Speaker 1: undiscussed debt that might come up and after the first

971
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: five years, or believing that marriage is the cure all

972
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: for your relationship, or not speaking up, or troubles with
