Speaker 4: You were just here for the Jonas Brothers.

18
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 5: Did you watch the Jonahs Brother's Christmas Movie?

19
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: Did you love it?

20
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 4: We started it and then Joe was like, oh, this

21
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 4: is a musical. I don't know, let's watch something else.

22
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 4: But I'm definitely circling back. My sister's watched it like

23
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 4: three times already. Really, Oh, you know, it's really happy,

24
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 4: easy watch you throw it on in the background. It's like,

25
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 4: so Christmas. Yon, they're coming up with camp Rock three.

26
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: Did you see?

27
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 3: Yes? I hope that Camp Rock three kind of follows

28
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: the methodology that this movie has because it's so of

29
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 3: our age, like it was made for thirty somethings who've

30
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: been fans of the Jonas brothers. It's so funny, it's

31
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 3: really well scripted. It's I think it's genuinely enjoyable to

32
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 3: anybody who's not a fan.

33
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: But if you're a fan, like everything is hilarious.

34
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like it's rotten tomato score was decent, it.

35
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: Was it's in the nineties.

36
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, oh was it in the nineties.

37
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 5: Yeah.

38
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: Jared you know, big movie critic, and he was like,

39
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: that was an enjoyable watch, so so you should have.

40
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: I think you probably turned it off during Best Night,

41
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 3: which is a fantastic song, but it's the beginning of

42
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: like everything is very tongue in chee can, very self aware.

43
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 5: So I just don't I just don't love music.

44
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 4: No, it's a nine tomato eater.

45
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's a it's supposed to be a funny musical, like,

46
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, they're bursting out in song now it's

47
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: so ridiculous, like self aware, that's ridiculous.

48
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 4: Okay, gonna watch it.

49
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: So yeah, let's circle back or thanks thanks to it

50
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: for me. So, Joe, you just ran the New York

51
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: City marathon. My our nanny just ran too, and she

52
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: was kind of excited that there's so many Bachelor Nation runners.

53
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: Where did you place amongst everyone?

54
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 5: I placed pretty well. I did a three. Sorry, I

55
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 5: lost my voice this weekend, so you hear the raspiness

56
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 5: and I apologize to your I apologize to your listeners.

57
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 5: I placed people like it. I did a three forty nine.

58
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 5: My goal was like three thirty five, which I was

59
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 5: pacing out for and then like around mile seventeen, I

60
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 5: just I just slowed down because I got I just

61
00:02:58,680 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 5: my body just kind of gave out.

62
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 4: But his last marathon, he ran a three fifty nine,

63
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 4: so he was trying to shave off like thirty minutes.

64
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 2: Impressive.

65
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe, is this your second marathon?

66
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 5: Then second marathon? Yeah? Yeah?

67
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 4: Why?

68
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 3: How I just don't understand. It's mind boggling to me.

69
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: How what's the fear level?

70
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: Like I just question.

71
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: You know what?

72
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 5: It's not. I don't it's it's I don't have any

73
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 5: fear going into it. And honestly, when people ask me,

74
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 5: I'm like, I get more nervous, and I go like,

75
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 5: I don't have to speak, you know, I don't have

76
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 5: to like step on stage and do something that's more

77
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 5: nerve wracking than just like running. It gets just really

78
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 5: what you what you worry about, and it happens. It

79
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 5: happened to me both times. Is stomach cramps. Because you

80
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 5: can't run through stomach cramps. It's really hard. Yeah, So

81
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 5: I just I just focused on my breath and my

82
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 5: breath work, and then usually I run. I do end

83
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 5: up running through it, but if those get really bad,

84
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 5: you're done. And then and then you're like you don't

85
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 5: want to be the person mile five, miles six and

86
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 5: you have to start walking because then it's gonna take

87
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 5: five hours, six hours to finish, and that's horrible.

88
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: Did you run into anyone from Bachelor?

89
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I I run with Release, which is

90
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 5: Zach Clark's charity foundation. And then in the in the tent,

91
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 5: I mean I saw Matt James and Taysha were both there,

92
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 5: and and Tyler I saw him and his girlfriend.

93
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 3: How was the interaction between you and Taysha, because I

94
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: know that you guys have a.

95
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 5: Oh we're yeah, we're cool. Yeah, yeah, we're cool.

96
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 3: And yeah, okay, so you basically saw everyone.

97
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 2: What is your treat afterward? How do you reward yourself?

98
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 5: I like the first year was much more rewarding. I

99
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 5: remember I was like, I wanted, I want to get

100
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 5: shake shack and I did. This year.

101
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: I don't even remember what we ordered.

102
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 5: I ordered. I ordered a pizza. It was great, but

103
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 5: I was in so much pain because I had I

104
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 5: ran with like ankle compression sleeves and I never ran

105
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 5: with those before, and they cut off in the middle

106
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 5: of my foot. So I ended up getting two massive

107
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 5: blisters and they broke open and I just when I

108
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 5: finished the race, both socks were full of blood. Yeah yeah,

109
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 5: so it took it. Honestly, my recovery this time was

110
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 5: about a week. I got infections, I had to go

111
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 5: to the doctor. It was a little rough.

112
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 3: So why why do you do it? It is the

113
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: charity component, because that is a good answer me. The

114
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 3: charity compon just rather donate the money online.

115
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 5: That's fair. That's fair. I I am somebody that loves

116
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 5: working towards a goal. I enjoy running. It's it's therapy

117
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 5: to me. I don't know if I'll ever do another

118
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 5: marathon because I don't want to lose the enjoyment of it,

119
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 5: because I do enjoy running. I do enjoying running slow

120
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 5: and long, and yeah, I think it's working towards the call.

121
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 5: I enjoy that.

122
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Saruna, how are you when he's training? And then

123
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: what do you do on the day of with the marathon?

124
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: Do you like go to a different point?

125
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 4: Yeah. Zach's foundation release has like a watch spot at

126
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 4: the eighteenth mile, so I went there and watched him

127
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: run by there and then I book it to the

128
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 4: finish line. The first year I failed, I got to

129
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 4: the eighteenth mile, we saw him, he saw me. It

130
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 4: was great, and then we were like, oh, like, we

131
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 4: have tons of time, we'll walk to the finish line.

132
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 4: And then we were running to the finish line and

133
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 4: then there was like a thirty minute wait to get

134
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 4: to the finish line and we missed him and it

135
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 4: was devastating. But this year we had the schedule on lock,

136
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 4: so we hit him up at the eighteenth mile. He

137
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 4: ran right past me, didn't see me. I'm like screaming

138
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 4: his name. I was all the time.

139
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: I'm waving it.

140
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I totally missed them. Well, because you

141
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 5: know what you guys said eight mile eighteen and you

142
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 5: were at mile seventeen.

143
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 4: I think I said we were right before mile eighteen. Yeah,

144
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 4: miss there's a huge flag that says release. He's not

145
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 4: even looking around, he's just dead paying forward. But we

146
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 4: got to the finish line, which was great and exciting,

147
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 4: and you saw me there.

148
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 5: I mean, I am a little you know, I'm running

149
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 5: a marathon.

150
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 4: So I'm really stressed because I was like, I have

151
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 4: his snacks and if he wants them and he starts

152
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 4: looking for me later, he's going to think that like

153
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 4: I didn't go or I missed it, like I was.

154
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 4: I have one job and I want him to know

155
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 4: like I completed this.

156
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: I was here for you.

157
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 4: Yes, but you said you didn't end up needing them,

158
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 4: so it's it all worked out. It's fine. Yeah, and

159
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 4: I got to see you, which was cool.

160
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: Oh so sweet.

161
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 3: Well, guys, you have been living in New York for

162
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 3: a while now, do you still love it?

163
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: We do, Yeah, we do.

164
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 6: We do.

165
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 5: It's a problem. It's a problem because we just keep

166
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 5: renewing our least.

167
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 4: We want to want to leave, We want to want

168
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 4: to go somewhere else and get a bigger apartment and

169
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 4: not pay crazy money and rent, and like you wake

170
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 4: up in New York and they charge one hundred dollars

171
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 4: just to be there.

172
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: It feels like, but we love it.

173
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: I feel like even just like in the suburbs, it's

174
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 3: just one hundred dollars to leave the house.

175
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's crazy, but like we love not having a car,

176
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 4: and we love the food scene and all the things.

177
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 4: So every year around this time we do the like

178
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: should we leave, should we resign? And yeah, I think

179
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 4: we'll probably research a.

180
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 5: Great time a year in New York too, like the

181
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 5: holiday season, Like it's just so nice.

182
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

183
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 3: I just can't believe that Joe, after spending his entire

184
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 3: life in Chicago, thinks that New York is better.

185
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 5: It's well, Chicago's a funny city. Chicago. I mean, I

186
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 5: love Chicago. I'm from Chicago. But like in growing up

187
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 5: in Chicago, the mentality is this is the greatest city

188
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 5: in the world. Then that's what everyone will tell you.

189
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 5: And so many people don't even leave Chicago and they're

190
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 5: like this is the best.

191
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 6: It's like, well how do you keep They are like

192
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 6: when you go to Chicago, people from Chicago are like,

193
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 6: this is the best city in the world, without a doubt.

194
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 4: They feel so passionately about their city.

195
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I do. I believe that New York is

196
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 5: the best. It is my favorite.

197
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: All right.

198
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 3: Well, when you guys decide to have kids, I'm sure

199
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: that that is when the whole are we going to

200
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 3: renew our least thing might change? Yeah?

201
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 4: Definitely.

202
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 2: Well, yeah we can't.

203
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 4: We're right now in the debate of like, could we

204
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 4: even fit a dog in this apartment if we wanted to,

205
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 4: which I genuinely don't think we could. One we could,

206
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 4: but then it's like the crate and the dog bed

207
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 4: and the food, Like we don't have any room right

208
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 4: now for anything extra. Yeah, so it's like, how are

209
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 4: we supposed to fit another human being?

210
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 5: Not a chance to say a human being?

211
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 4: No, I'm just she was saying, like, when you eventually

212
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 4: try to have kids, that's going to be the instigator.

213
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 5: But we can't have a kid in a six hundred

214
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 5: and fifty square foot apartment. We just can't.

215
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 4: No. I mean you could, but it's not gonna be fun.

216
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: Do you guys have separate areas that you can retreat to?

217
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 4: No, Well, we have the living room slash kitchen area,

218
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 4: which like you walk into the main area and then

219
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 4: we have like a little mini hallway that goes into

220
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 4: our bedroom where you can shut.

221
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 3: The door there, so it's somebody watches TV in the yeah, totally.

222
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 4: Or like if we both have a call at the

223
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 4: same time, like he has a desk in the kitchen area,

224
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 4: he can like take it there and then I take

225
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,599
Speaker 4: out like my vanity in the bedroom.

226
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 2: Or the outdoors, got it, the outdoors? What do you mean,

227
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 2: like on the streets.

228
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, go for a walk.

229
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, if you're like I need some solo time,

230
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 4: you can take a walk.

231
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the best place to take a walk. I

232
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 3: would say I would prefer a city walk. I think

233
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 3: that's more soulful to me than taking a walk like

234
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: out in grassy areas. The good thing in New York

235
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 3: is there's always people walking, like you're never it never

236
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: feels weird or you're out there by yourself, like there's

237
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 3: all these people walking around, whereas I do feel like

238
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 3: coming to like La or even in some areas of Chicago,

239
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 3: you're walking around and it's just dead because everyone's in

240
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: their cars. Yeah, so you guys obviously talk about Bachelor

241
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 3: for a living in some capacity. What do you think

242
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 3: about Taylor Frankie Paul being the Bachelorette.

243
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 5: I love it.

244
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 4: I love it too.

245
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 5: I think it's honestly.

246
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: So we're on the same page. We all want the

247
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 2: we all wanted to go forward, right. I think this

248
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 2: is probably the best thing.

249
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 4: It's good for the franchise. We love Mormon Wives. Do

250
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 4: you watch Mormon Wives.

251
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: I've watched pretty much most of the first season, so

252
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 3: I have to catch up and I will, of course

253
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,479
Speaker 3: by the time her her series yeah starts.

254
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 4: Well, they're almost unfilming, so I'm curious to hear a

255
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 4: little bit how it went.

256
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: They're going through Thanksgiving.

257
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 3: Do you think they took that week off or do

258
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: you think that like she did Thanksgiving with families?

259
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 4: Good point, they did film through Thanksgiving. I don't know,

260
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 4: maybe they.

261
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 5: Did like a I'm sure they took that day off.

262
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 4: You think, yeah, maybe.

263
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, they probably took a couple of days off there.

264
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, So anything about what do you have thoughts of

265
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 3: that's like topical in Bachelor Nation, I feel like Alex

266
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 3: and Andrew are definitely on their way to marriage, and

267
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 3: then we have Dale and Kad who just broke up,

268
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: and we think that that's no surprise.

269
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, have either of them put out a statement. No,

270
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 4: it was just like confirmed by a source that they've

271
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 4: broken up, right sort of.

272
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well that that's the interesting thing about Bachelor and

273
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 5: Paradise Now there's I don't think there's not as much

274
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 5: emphasis on the couple because of the game element. I

275
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 5: don't feel like you have to be like almost putty

276
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 5: even put out an announcement, where prior it did feel

277
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 5: like the only thing at the end was like what

278
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 5: you won was the relationship, And I feel like now

279
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 5: because of the money element, you win a little more.

280
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 5: So I don't know, like it basically it didn't seem

281
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 5: weird to me that Cat and Dale didn't put anything

282
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 5: out where I think prior.

283
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 4: Years it totally would have been weird prior year, Yes,

284
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 4: but I agree, Yeah, I don't think anyone was like

285
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 4: what happened, Like where's the statement? Like where's in the past.

286
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 4: It would be like so much speculation all the things happening.

287
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 4: I think people just kind of like we're like, yeah, okay,

288
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 4: like accepted it. But they also haven't.

289
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 3: I mean I follow both of them, they don't haven't

290
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 3: really been posting a lot together, so it's not like

291
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 3: they didn't post anything with each other until since September

292
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 3: they haven't.

293
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, so I feel like it's different when like

294
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 4: a couple's posting up a storm and then all of

295
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 4: a sudden, the next day it's like the rings off

296
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 4: and the statements up, and then everyone's kind of jarred.

297
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 3: Well, normally we see them have to like have a

298
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 3: conclusion moment where people get engaged or break up. Yeah,

299
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 3: and since they didn't force that this year, if you're

300
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 3: just breaking up as boyfriend and girlfriend, it's just not

301
00:13:58,559 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: that as big of a deal.

302
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 4: I do feel like those, like the structure of where

303
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 4: it's like either break up or go to fantasy suites

304
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 4: and then either break up or get engaged, makes the

305
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 4: stakes of the relationship feel so much more intense because

306
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 4: you've like shown a commitment to each other twice on

307
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 4: the show of like now we're doing this, and I

308
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 4: feel like not having that it really Yeah, Like when

309
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 4: I think back to the season of Paradise, I really

310
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 4: think way more about the game element than I do

311
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 4: about the relationships.

312
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I'm curious to see if they keep doing that.

313
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 4: I feel like it'll be like a cherry picking situation.

314
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 4: They'll keep some stuff, they'll let go of other stuff.

315
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 4: Because it was a lot of newness this season. Yeah.

316
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 3: I was talking to Joan and Kathy and season and

317
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 3: we were saying that actually it kind of worked out

318
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 3: because Alex's life totally changed without the student loans.

319
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's true. Or you know, maybe they

320
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 4: don't do the game element and the season's way bigger

321
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 4: and she makes a lot of money doing Brandyal's.

322
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 3: Other things after loans. That way good critical thinking. I

323
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 3: have Grant coming on. I think after you guys, Yeah,

324
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 3: what do we ask Grant about?

325
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 4: Well, we just had Juliana on the podcast.

326
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 2: Exactly.

327
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 3: She was telling you guys that they pretty much broke

328
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 3: up right after after the final rose, or at least

329
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 3: it was a big fight, and then he had spent

330
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: time planning the statement.

331
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 4: I would ask him, I guess he had some options

332
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 4: that he presented to her of like, hey, these are

333
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 4: the ways we could roll out our breakup. I would

334
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 4: ask him what his options are, and I would rank

335
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 4: them from best to worst.

336
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 2: Okay.

337
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 4: I would also ask him what happened to his music career,

338
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 4: you know, his passion for music seems to have gone

339
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 4: mia and when's the next t getting released?

340
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 3: Well, we also have, you know, the dating show that

341
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 3: he's like didn't give advice on.

342
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 4: Wait what philis did?

343
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: He teased that he had a show coming where he

344
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: was going to be like the dater, like the.

345
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 4: Guy was the dating coach, the dating coach. Is this

346
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 4: like a real show or is this like a series

347
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 4: that he was going to do?

348
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 3: Ask I should it something that he was going to

349
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 3: put together?

350
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 4: Okay, he was going to put together a Instagram series

351
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 4: or something coaching people?

352
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, So then just just the last question about Juliana,

353
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 3: did Juliana tell you anything about their breakup that it

354
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 3: should definitely be addressed with him?

355
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 4: Hmmm? I mean the main thing was that big fight, yeah,

356
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 4: and then him saying like, you know, I've kind of

357
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 4: think we should announce it, and she wasn't really there yet.

358
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 4: I think you would also ask like, how did those

359
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 4: next couple months ago, Like you obviously had this big fight,

360
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 4: you were ready to roll out a breakup statement, and

361
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,920

362
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 4: still together like a few months later, So like what happened?

363
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,240

00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,080
