Speaker 1: Welcome to Bill and Juliana the podcast.
Speaker 2: Hey everyone, welcome to the podcast. So we on this
Speaker 2: podcast ask a lot of other people questions. Some are funny,
Speaker 2: some are awkward. Some of the questions we're all afraid
Speaker 2: to ask, but we asked those questions, and today we
Speaker 2: thought we would try something different. Over the years, you
Speaker 2: guys have asked us a lot of questions. So we're
Speaker 2: going to turn the tables a little bit and we
Speaker 2: are going to take some questions out of a bowl. Here.
Speaker 1: We have a dual.
Speaker 2: It's very professional. We have a bowl and we see
Speaker 2: there's questions in there. Bill's already getting started. So here
Speaker 2: we go Bill, Bill, are you ready? But Bill, before
Speaker 2: we start, Yes, I think we have to decide how
Speaker 2: honest are we going to be?
Speaker 1: Like percent I believe in complete honesty, total honess.
Speaker 2: Those hips don't lie, those hips don't Okay, all right,
Speaker 2: let's do it.
Speaker 1: All right, Ready, here we go.
Speaker 2: Who wants to start.
Speaker 1: I'm going to pull the first question and I will
Speaker 1: ask you, Okay, what's the biggest fight you've ever had.
Speaker 2: With you or like in life? Seventh grade? I had
Speaker 2: a fist fight in eighth grade.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I think is it.
Speaker 2: Eighth grade or ninth grade?
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, was handcuffed the old boyfriend Bill and then
Speaker 1: locked him in.
Speaker 2: He deserved it.
Speaker 1: I don't know the biggest fight we've ever had. That's
Speaker 1: a good one, Okay. It was like when we first
Speaker 1: got married and we were trying to decide whose house
Speaker 1: we were going to go do for Thanksgiving. Oh and
Speaker 1: I think that kind of stirreed up a little bit.
Speaker 1: If that's when I went to a movie by myself.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's what that fight was about, what house to
Speaker 2: go to thanks thanks So weird that we thought about that.
Speaker 2: Who won?
Speaker 1: Probably you? You're always right? Stop?
Speaker 2: But now we always go to Bill's family's house more
Speaker 2: than mine.
Speaker 1: Don't you feel like my family's one of your relative
Speaker 1: Your brother lives in Italy, sister lives in California, your
Speaker 1: mom and dad live in DC. So it's just we
Speaker 1: go to your house. I have every family member that
Speaker 1: lives within twenty minutes.
Speaker 2: You're right, so it's not personal, it's logistic. I think
Speaker 2: it's just so yeah, that was a big fight. I
Speaker 2: totally remember. We were living on Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica,
Speaker 2: in that apartment and we weren't talking and then Bill
Speaker 2: came home and from the movie he went by himself.
Speaker 2: You know it's bad when you go to a movie.
Speaker 1: By yourself because your first time I've ever done that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I wouldn't you know, the significant other won't go.
Speaker 2: And I remember you came in and I was like
Speaker 2: looking out the window, like at the ocean, all like mad,
Speaker 2: and you go, so you're just not going to talk
Speaker 2: to me, and I wouldn't answer, and you asked a
Speaker 2: few things and then I didn't say anything, and you go, well,
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to start talking to me because you're
Speaker 2: stuck with me the rest of your life. You don't
Speaker 2: seem bad about that.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just fact. I mean it was pointless.
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna it's you're not going to break
Speaker 1: up a marriage over something that's silly. No, I was like,
Speaker 1: why hold the grudge? Why just move on?
Speaker 2: But Bill saying those words you're stuck with me the
Speaker 2: rest of your life have always resonated with me, And
Speaker 2: now here we are twenty years later, and I always
Speaker 2: feel like, no matter how crazy things get, we'll always
Speaker 2: work it out. Like even right now, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2: Things are tense in our household. We're going through some shit.
Speaker 2: But you know what a little bit I can tell
Speaker 2: your face now I'm a little mad at her today.
Speaker 2: Now you're like twenty years and you're thinking, maybe I'm
Speaker 2: going to take those words back. No not, are you
Speaker 2: sworre to God?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I swear to God.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's just been hard lately.
Speaker 1: I think you work, you know, that's part of life.
Speaker 1: You have different seasons and things ebb and flow, And
Speaker 1: anyone who says it's perfect twenty four seven, three sixty five,
Speaker 1: they're lying, Yeah, that's not reality. You know, you don't,
Speaker 1: you know, with kids and just things sometimes get out
Speaker 1: of whack, you know, And I think that's that's life.
Speaker 1: You know, that's how ninety nine point ninety nine nine
Speaker 1: percent of the people live, you know. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: think you just got to you got to power on
Speaker 1: to communicate.
Speaker 2: Now, you're right, and we'll get through it. Bill and
Speaker 2: I are going.
Speaker 1: We need to open up about that.
Speaker 2: Well, it's external stuff that okay, But it's also like
Speaker 2: I think I'm like annoying you a lot lately because
Speaker 2: you're like, okay, well, I.
Speaker 1: Think an episode we want to go into therapy. Here
Speaker 1: we don't have to dive in. Ready, next question, what's
Speaker 1: the one thing you wish the other person would stop doing? Wow?
Speaker 1: How random is that? Uh, I'm happy to start.
Speaker 2: I'm de ceased right now. Wait, this has to do
Speaker 2: with why we're not getting along right now? It's just
Speaker 2: a random question, of course, So what is it? It's
Speaker 2: not This is not a foul lands, This is not
Speaker 2: related to what we're just on.
Speaker 1: These are all questions that listeners that I think you
Speaker 1: are a bit of a micromanager.
Speaker 2: It's better than narcissism.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I thought you're gonna say that, but
Speaker 1: I think you know I'm a very high functioning person.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, you treat me as if you know I
Speaker 1: just got off the.
Speaker 2: Wait start over. You're a high functioning person.
Speaker 1: And I think I don't require micromanagement. I built before
Speaker 1: I met you. You know I don't need to go
Speaker 1: into this. No, go, please do. But you know I
Speaker 1: built multiple companies, I've had a fair amount of success,
Speaker 1: and now you even hanging a picture. You're there watching
Speaker 1: me critiquing, and I think it's like the reason I'm
Speaker 1: an entrepreneur is because I don't like to be micromanaged
Speaker 1: and told what to do, and you just have to
Speaker 1: give a litany. And I noticed with the crew you
Speaker 1: give very detailed instructions for people, like all right.
Speaker 2: This is what to Brianna and Ava.
Speaker 1: I you got to let people be creative and let
Speaker 1: them kind of we'll get into that later.
Speaker 2: Briana scale of ten. How much do I micro manage you?
Speaker 2: And be totally honest?
Speaker 1: Oh wow, thank you.
Speaker 2: I really don't. I don't need to micro manage.
Speaker 1: Who gave the holiday bonuses this last year?
Speaker 2: Okay, what's the number, Brianna? She doesn't think I do seven.
Speaker 2: That's I for someone who doesn't microman accurate. Okay, so
Speaker 2: this holiday it's going to be good for you, Brianna.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Brianna.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, next one? Or what would you like
Speaker 1: to do differently? Sorry? Wait, you're so right.
Speaker 2: Something this morning happened. You were doing something and I
Speaker 2: was literally standing over you. You were sitting down. I
Speaker 2: was like looking down and I thought to myself, back
Speaker 2: away from him, like stop micromanaging. I can't remember what
Speaker 2: I got to get off your tip? What was I
Speaker 2: on your tip?
Speaker 1: I can't even I can't even imagine it was everything.
Speaker 2: Something you were like looking at and I was like
Speaker 2: all annoying telling you how to do it. It was
Speaker 2: something so stupid and I don't even think. Okay, I'm sorry, Bill,
Speaker 2: I'm going to stop that. I'm going to stop micro
Speaker 2: never I've apologized in my life frequently.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, my question, no, No, what do you
Speaker 1: want me to do differently?
Speaker 2: Oh? What do I want you to do differently?
Speaker 1: Okay? Let me think about that.
Speaker 2: Okay, I would like you to be less like urgent
Speaker 2: stressful about sirlings that come up. Oh oh oh see,
Speaker 2: I couldn't eve finish my sens because you know that
Speaker 2: this happens.
Speaker 1: Well, we were we were half an hour late. I'm like,
Speaker 1: we got to go, we got to go, and you're
Speaker 1: on the phone talking to your sister about something that's
Speaker 1: happening in a month and a half. So like we
Speaker 1: have the whole team in LA, We've got everyone waiting
Speaker 1: for us. So yeah, I am a little I find
Speaker 1: it disrespectful to be thirty minutes late and you're talking
Speaker 1: about something that could wait till later today to talk about.
Speaker 1: So personally, it reflects me when we're both late, because
Speaker 1: then I look like, you know, their time isn't as
Speaker 1: important as mine.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm not making excuses. We would have been
Speaker 2: ten minutes late, which is still not acceptable, but better
Speaker 2: than thirty minutes late if we hadn't run into a
Speaker 2: couple of old friends on the street. Two different groups
Speaker 2: we saw, and it wasn't the type of friends that
Speaker 2: you can be like, oh my god, like we're so
Speaker 2: late to something, we'll see you later.
Speaker 1: Though.
Speaker 2: One person is a family we used to be friends
Speaker 2: with that we've been seen in years. They now live
Speaker 2: in Nashville. And then the other one was my hairstylist,
Speaker 2: and of course I got you know, we always got
Speaker 2: to chat for a few minutes, but I did try
Speaker 2: to cut that one short, and you actually said we
Speaker 2: got to go. So, yes, that was my bad. You're right,
Speaker 2: and I was talking to my sister. Sorry, okay, next question, Sorry, team.
Speaker 1: Okay, you ready? Yes? Did Bill pursue you or did
Speaker 1: you pursue Bill?
Speaker 2: Do we want the truth here? I definitely pursued Bill.
Speaker 2: I definitely pursued Bill. I watched Bill on that first
Speaker 2: season of the Apprentice like a hawk, and I used
Speaker 2: my job at E News to go interview Bill. There
Speaker 2: were other people maybe that could have well, definitely there
Speaker 2: were other reporters. I could have done the interview, and
Speaker 2: I was like, no, no, I got to do this.
Speaker 1: I've been married Jason Kennedy, Yes, you could have been.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to the girls who are well back then.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, there weren't.
Speaker 1: You and Jason and Ryan.
Speaker 2: I know, it's a lot of guys. And so I
Speaker 2: said to Maureen Heaton, God rest her soul. Remember Maureen.
Speaker 2: Maureen was our assignment editor at the news for years.
Speaker 2: She was the most amazing, like literally kept that newsroom running.
Speaker 1: Mate.
Speaker 2: Honestly, it was a huge factor in the successive E News,
Speaker 2: especially the glory years back then. That was Maureen. She
Speaker 2: was an amazing She ran the whole newsroom. And unfortunately
Speaker 2: she died young of cancer, which was devastating. But Maureen
Speaker 2: loved you too, and she and I loved The Apprentice
Speaker 2: and we loved you. We had the same tasting guys,
Speaker 2: Maureen and I truly. And so she goes, I go, Marina,
Speaker 2: you know Bill Ransick, just when the Apprentice, I think
Speaker 2: I should go interview him. I'm a fan of the show.
Speaker 2: And she goes, I think he's cute too, and she said,
Speaker 2: go get him. G and that was it. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: so she and I used to joke when we got
Speaker 2: together that she made it happen because she gave me
Speaker 2: that assignment. But anyway, so yes, to answer the story,
Speaker 2: to answer this question, I definitely pursued you because you
Speaker 2: did not know he News right or were you lying
Speaker 2: back then?
Speaker 1: No, I'm not the demographic of he News.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you didn't know, right, I did not know,
Speaker 2: and you weren't like into me, to be honest, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I was trying to meet you a few times and
Speaker 2: you weren't really into it.
Speaker 1: I was pretty big. No, I was just busy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like it was a little chaotic.
Speaker 2: You're busy being like an overnight celebrity.
Speaker 1: I guess. I mean it was a little chaotic you were.
Speaker 2: I mean when you won the Apprentice literally went from
Speaker 2: like being a total unknown to Jay Leno to like
Speaker 2: doing it J Show, the Tonight Show, Yeah, Tonight Show,
Speaker 2: and then you did that next morning? Didn't you do
Speaker 2: the Today Show?
Speaker 1: At first? I did the Today Show with Katie Kurrk,
Speaker 1: and then I got rushed out of the Today Show
Speaker 1: in New York and got on a plane and flew
Speaker 1: to l A to do Jay Leno that night the show,
Speaker 1: the Tonight Show.
Speaker 2: It's so crazy, It isn't that wild?
Speaker 1: Little Larry King everything? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well, Ellen, who was traveling with you during all this?
Speaker 1: Nobody, your sister, nobody. I was all by myself.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: There was a great publicist from NBC, him Jim Dowd.
Speaker 1: He passed away. Gosh, this is terrible. He was way
Speaker 1: too young, but he he would sometimes go with me.
Speaker 1: And then when I landed in LA, there was a
Speaker 1: great girl and Carrie Simon's who's now on her own,
Speaker 1: and she met me at the airport and took me
Speaker 1: around LA and so it's pr and I was not
Speaker 1: a good dresser, and she's like she worked out a
Speaker 1: deal with Georgia Rmani and I went and she took
Speaker 1: me to Georgia Rmani to get suits for me because
Speaker 1: I didn't, you know, I was wearing stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: just basic.
Speaker 2: Like from like big and tall or whatever. Well I
Speaker 2: mean sorryhouse shortened port. Yeah, I'm not saying you're bigger tall,
Speaker 2: you are tall.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So then she got me like dialed in with
Speaker 1: clothes because I didn't have any like really hot, like
Speaker 1: nice suits, you know. So it was funny. Oh she
Speaker 1: was really nice. Cool.
Speaker 2: You went to ARMANI like and got like cool closing.
Speaker 1: I ever bought it. I didn't even buy it. They
Speaker 1: gifted it to me. First time ever had a nice
Speaker 1: suit my whole life. Wow. Yeah, I was thirty two
Speaker 1: years old. Not crazy.
Speaker 2: It's like that was like the start of big reality
Speaker 2: competition shows. It was Apprentice and Survivor for all the
Speaker 2: kids out there, the youngsters back in the early two
Speaker 2: d on Amazon. Yeah, the whole season of the Apprentice,
Speaker 2: but it was all about Apprentice and Survivor. Those were
Speaker 2: the two big shows CBS with Survivor. NBC was Apprentice.
Speaker 2: They were the two huge shows and literally millions and
Speaker 2: like like tens of millions.
Speaker 1: People a week, what twenty five million viewers a week?
Speaker 1: Oh week, yeah, every night.
Speaker 2: It was so different back then, and.
Speaker 1: That was before you had like Instagram and Twitter and
Speaker 1: any of you know. It was like way way before. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people dialed in.
Speaker 2: Those days are gone. Now podcasts are the new reality
Speaker 2: shows than.
Speaker 1: It's right, all right. Next question, have you ever been
Speaker 1: jealous of someone the other person worked with?
Speaker 2: Great question, America.
Speaker 1: I worked with Lisa Gibbons for many years. Love her America. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't think I love lady. Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, I was not jealous of her because I love
Speaker 2: her so much. No, and I'm also not really I
Speaker 2: was very jealous younger in life. I was a jealous girl,
Speaker 2: like crazy crap, like you know, like lipstick on the
Speaker 2: like front windshield, or like.
Speaker 1: Basic instinct, like a rabbit boiling in the kitchen pot.
Speaker 2: I didn't do that, but yes, everything, but wow, And
Speaker 2: so I was crazy growing up. I was very jealous
Speaker 2: and had like those tumultuous relationships. But then we met
Speaker 2: and then everything went away. I swear to God because
Speaker 2: I'm so confident and secure in our relationship. So I can't.
Speaker 2: If I think of anyone, I will let you know,
Speaker 2: because you know I would tell you. I really can't
Speaker 2: think of anyone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, me, neither. I mean who Ryan Seacrest and Jason Kennedy. No,
Speaker 1: I've never been jealous.
Speaker 2: You've never been jealous of Brian's secret, never, never of
Speaker 2: our working relationship now zero. Jason Kennedy. No, you know
Speaker 2: I'm really close to Jason Kennedy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, because he's like a brother. He's like a brother,
Speaker 1: and okay, and he's younger. He waited until he was married.
Speaker 1: I respect it. I mean, of course, totally respect what
Speaker 1: he did.
Speaker 2: Jason's the best.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love him. He's like a little brother to me.
Speaker 2: Love him anyone else. So hold on, there's got to
Speaker 2: be hold on.
Speaker 1: With all the people you worked with.
Speaker 2: Hold on, Okay, Riddy, I'm going to know people. I
Speaker 2: did host Miss Universe with a Jonas brother.
Speaker 1: That no jealousy, Nick?
Speaker 2: How are you not jealous of Nick Jonas? Everyone's jealous
Speaker 2: of if he's a guy, if they're a guy.
Speaker 1: Look even the girls, right, girls? How could you I hosted?
Speaker 2: I spent days and nights with the Jonas brother one
Speaker 2: Jonas brother.
Speaker 1: Honestly, I didn't. I'm not that familiar with them. I
Speaker 1: know that they're singers, but like, not knights. Am I
Speaker 1: that old? Huh?
Speaker 2: Not nights? I mean meaning like we wrapped it nine pm,
Speaker 2: not nights. But but we hosted the Universe pageants and
Speaker 2: Miss USA together. You know, it's very funny. I actually
Speaker 2: became friendly with Olivia Coppo through that whole process because
Speaker 2: she won Miss USA and then she went on to
Speaker 2: be Miss Universe.
Speaker 1: Which is a different athlete.
Speaker 2: Yes she is, and she's so lovely and she's the
Speaker 2: sweetest as we call him the biz I'm sorry, Christian McCaffrey,
Speaker 2: Oh got it.
Speaker 1: And we ran into them down in Mexico and Duke
Speaker 1: got to hang out with Christian McCaffrey. She brought Duke
Speaker 1: over to the table, so sweet, and it was all
Speaker 1: the guys from the forty nine ers at the table
Speaker 1: and my Duke, our son was in heaven.
Speaker 2: So cool. And that was all because of her. She's
Speaker 2: the sweetest and so she's amazing. And when she won
Speaker 2: Miss USA and then she went on to do Miss
Speaker 2: Universe and so we became friends back then. So anyway,
Speaker 2: what was the question?
Speaker 1: Have either of you ever been jealous of someone you've
Speaker 1: worked with?
Speaker 2: Okay, so you were never jealous of Vermiss.
Speaker 1: Have you ever pretended to like something the other person
Speaker 1: bought or made you? Oh, I've pretended like the rare
Speaker 1: occasion you've cooked. I've pretended to like the meal. But
Speaker 1: I don't think that's your strong suit and you admit.
Speaker 2: That that's true. Yeah, terrible cook. But you've been a
Speaker 2: good gift giver.
Speaker 1: I take that. Yeah, you hate my gifts. Well, one
Speaker 1: Christmas you got me an I pod which was very
Speaker 1: in style, back then. It was great. It was an
Speaker 1: Apple iPod. And then I took it out of the
Speaker 1: box and I flipped it over and it said Happy
Speaker 1: Holidays from E. So you regifted a gift that E
Speaker 1: gave you because it was it was engraved on the
Speaker 1: back of the I pod. It's pods, right, they were
Speaker 1: all iPods. Yeah, so that was kind of an interesting gift.
Speaker 2: You could look at it as a regift and that's offensive,
Speaker 2: or you could look at it as I saved our
Speaker 2: family money by not true dipping into the old bank
Speaker 2: and you wanted an iPod, so why buy you a
Speaker 2: new one? And I did not know E engraved or Christmas?
Speaker 2: Thanks E?
Speaker 1: Have I gotten you anything you didn't like?
Speaker 2: No, you're a very good gift giver. And you know
Speaker 2: I always like you. You'll go, Honey, Mother's Day's coming up,
Speaker 2: what do you want? And I'll go nothing, Bill, Bill,
Speaker 2: I promise, I want nothing. I want nothing. I want nothing,
Speaker 2: And I literally think to myself and I sort of
Speaker 2: got I think to myself, I really want nothing, and
Speaker 2: there's nothing I want out there right now. And then
Speaker 2: you somehow build just shows up with the bag from
Speaker 2: Gucci or somewhere and then I go, I don't want
Speaker 2: anything from Gucci, And then I open it and I go,
Speaker 2: I love these shoes. I want these shoes so badly.
Speaker 2: It's like crazy, how you can do that. I love
Speaker 2: all your gifts.
Speaker 1: Thanks, You're welcome.
Speaker 2: So no, I promise, no, there's nothing you've given me
Speaker 2: I didn't like.
Speaker 1: Okay, you ready? If if we asked your friends who's
Speaker 1: harder to live with, what would they say?
Speaker 2: One? I mean I love you, and don't get offended.
Speaker 2: But I've asked my friends this question and they've actually
Speaker 2: volunteered this information. You. I love you, but you are
Speaker 2: harder to live within me for sure, because I'm so
Speaker 2: chill and you're like very like everything has to be
Speaker 2: perfect in the house, and it's a lot of pressure.
Speaker 2: Like I can't have everything perfect perfect to be honest.
Speaker 1: No, I just I like things. I like neatness. I
Speaker 1: think we have different definitions of cleanliness. We do well.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say cleanliness organization. Maybe cleanliness sounds like my
Speaker 2: body is a wonderland like that. I don't clean my mind.
Speaker 1: No, I don't mean that. I mean like I like
Speaker 1: I like a neat house, like I don't like to
Speaker 1: leave dishes in the sink all night long. That bothers me,
Speaker 1: you know, right, So there's certain things that's just how
Speaker 1: I was raised. So I don't think it's a good
Speaker 1: thing or a bad thing. Is there a trip over
Speaker 1: your shoes sometimes? Like you just leave shoes anywhere and
Speaker 1: it's like in the middle of the night, I get
Speaker 1: up and you've got shoes in the middle of our
Speaker 1: bathroom that like you don't put you just kick your
Speaker 1: shoes off.
Speaker 2: Like about did you notice yesterday on the way to
Speaker 2: the bathroom I had a dog stroller I did in
Speaker 2: the doorway, Yeah, if our bathroom upstairs.
Speaker 1: Like no, I noticed it? Yeah, sorry, a little odd.
Speaker 2: And I had to move it out of the way
Speaker 2: last night in case. I was like, but I thought
Speaker 2: about you. I thought, you know what, let me move
Speaker 2: it out of the way because in the dark, this
Speaker 2: could be a problem.
Speaker 1: Thank you. That's a very kind of.
Speaker 2: Dog stroller outside of our bedroom door.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, but he likes to be in the stroller. Now,
Speaker 2: he just likes to sleep in the stroller. So I
Speaker 2: bring it up to the bedroom. Now, Okay, Bill's one
Speaker 2: of these guys will like walk into the house and
Speaker 2: he'll go and he'll like look over at like the
Speaker 2: kitchen counter, and there's always like an area of everyone's
Speaker 2: kitchen counter that's got some piles of stuff. And he'll go,
Speaker 2: are we yes?
Speaker 1: Is that ever gonna?
Speaker 2: We ever gonna? And I go, we are me, Bill,
Speaker 2: because it sounds like my stuff you want me to clean.
Speaker 1: I don't want to put your stuff away, and then
Speaker 1: you don't know where it is. So it's duke stuff
Speaker 1: too though. Yeah, but I'm just trying to give a
Speaker 1: gentle like reminder, like, yeah, you know, we have a
Speaker 1: lot of cluttered house. It's just you know, it's not
Speaker 1: it's not healthy.
Speaker 2: So I want to give some advice to everyone out
Speaker 2: there real quick when this happens with your significant other.
Speaker 2: So someone gave me great advice, or they give us
Speaker 2: great It was actually my gynocologist, Oh you remember doctor.
Speaker 2: We're going to have him on the show soon. But
Speaker 2: he he's like he's literally a gynecologist slash marriage counselor
Speaker 2: not that I mean, we don't even ask him for counseling,
Speaker 2: but he loves to give counseling advice.
Speaker 1: He's been around a long time, he has.
Speaker 2: And he's amazing He's a legend in Chicago, so Bacha. Anyways,
Speaker 2: Elias said to us, he goes, Bill, stop asking Juliana
Speaker 2: to pick stuff up and to put stuff away. That
Speaker 2: is not her job. Stop asking her to do that.
Speaker 2: He's that's how he yells at people. Right, And Bill
Speaker 2: stopped asking me, do you remember this? You go, you
Speaker 2: don't have to put it away? And guess what did
Speaker 2: I remember this? This happened like two months ago. Remember
Speaker 2: what happened when you came I put it away? It's psychology.
Speaker 2: It's like it's like you got to like tap into
Speaker 2: the person's like weirdness.
Speaker 1: You feel like, I think the older you get because

Speaker 2: do all that stuff. It's they're just packing this stuff

Speaker 1: On you take your chill, Okay, go ahead, this is
Speaker 1: this is these are But we got to do an
Speaker 1: episode on narcissists because that's a sign of narcissism when
Speaker 1: you just think that it's always the other person. No,
Speaker 1: I've done a lot of research on this. It's really fascinating.
Speaker 1: But like, I like to get things done, that's all
Speaker 1: I mean. I don't I don't know. You know, chill,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just surf and smoke weed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't surf or smoke, but that's.

Speaker 2: do vapies. I don't do nothing. I'm so chill. I'm
Speaker 2: a Leo and I'm just like chilling all day.
Speaker 1: Okay. What's the hardest thing about being married in public?
Speaker 1: Like being married in public? Nothing? Nothing, because I don't care.
Speaker 2: I don't care. I used to care.
Speaker 1: I think when we lived in La it was a
Speaker 1: little different.
Speaker 2: It was living in La. There's it's very weird. No
Speaker 2: matter what level you are, you know, Hollywood, Papa Razzi,
Speaker 2: they will get you and they get you good. And
Speaker 2: it's when you least expect it, Like you're literally eating
Speaker 2: like like that and they get pictures of you and
Speaker 2: your food stripping. And I always I like to I
Speaker 2: like to eat with my mouth open. I like to
Speaker 2: speak and eat. There should be a restaurant speak and eat,
Speaker 2: And so I know it's not good, and I try
Speaker 2: to keep my mouth closed, but I can't help it. Sorry,
Speaker 2: I tend to open my mouth. That Duke does the same,
Speaker 2: So they would they would literally do stories in magazines
Speaker 2: like Julie Irinsick like eats with her mouth open and
Speaker 2: it's terrible, you know, and it was so embarrassing. But anyways,
Speaker 2: but I guess nothing, you know why. I think if
Speaker 2: we had something to hide, then it would be hard
Speaker 2: to be married in the public eye. But I don't
Speaker 2: think we are. And because I don't care what people say.
Speaker 2: Through the years we've been married twenty years, people will
Speaker 2: say things like, oh, the Ransicks are definitely like road
Speaker 2: to divorce, you know, like the or their fight all
Speaker 2: the time, and I'm like, who cares? You know, I
Speaker 2: think we used to care back in the day, But
Speaker 2: I don't care any No, I don't care. Susan in Rockville,
Speaker 2: Marylyn wants to know.
Speaker 1: What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever caught the other
Speaker 1: person doing.
Speaker 2: Oh, landscaping.
Speaker 1: No, hey, you've never caught me doing that. But uh,
Speaker 1: what's something the audience thinks they know about you that
Speaker 1: is completely wrong?
Speaker 2: That's a great question. I don't know, what do you think?
Speaker 1: Bill? I'm pretty much an open book. I gotta be
Speaker 1: honest with you. I mean, we did eight eight seasons
Speaker 1: of reality show that we work, so people kind of
Speaker 1: know the real Juliana.
Speaker 2: And just say, when I read comments under posts, you know,
Speaker 2: and there's always like really nice ones, but then there's
Speaker 2: always like some a holes too, and even those a
Speaker 2: whole comments, Like I feel like it's not like I'm
Speaker 2: not like, oh, they're way off, like meaning like does
Speaker 2: she's a diva? Like No, one never really writes that,
Speaker 2: you know, so I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: There's like, like, if anything, they just say stupid stuff.
Speaker 2: Maybe people don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm a techie, you're pretty good at tech.
Speaker 2: I'm a text you let me see that.
Speaker 1: A look.
Speaker 2: Hold on, guys, let's get some sexy thing out here.
Speaker 2: Have you ever gotten to bed angry at each other?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Every second. What's the closest you've ever come to breaking up?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Never, It wasn't even close. Never who spends more money
Speaker 2: without telling the other?
Speaker 1: We're both pretty good, very similar. We're both pretty good.
Speaker 1: We are.
Speaker 2: Who said I love you first? Do you remember who
Speaker 2: said I love you first? I remember, you don't remember.
Speaker 1: I don't remember.
Speaker 2: You don't remember. You said it was the W Hotel
Speaker 2: in New York?
Speaker 1: Got it? Got it? Wow? Amazing. I can't tell you.
Speaker 2: More details than that.
Speaker 1: Kids all my way.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, we won't yet. Do you see eye to
Speaker 2: eye on politics?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, big time, we really do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 2: I have to be honest with you, guys, if you've
Speaker 2: just listened to this whole episode, we are. I think
Speaker 2: one of the reasons Bill and I have been together
Speaker 2: twenty years is honestly we're so similar. If there are
Speaker 2: different things about us, for sure, and they're big, like
Speaker 2: he's very organized, I'm not. You know, things we have
Speaker 2: to I have to work on more than him, things
Speaker 2: he has to work. But overall we are very we
Speaker 2: are cut from the same cloth, as they say, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: very similar personalities like beliefs, right, yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it's all about values, you know, And I
Speaker 1: think in a marriage you have to have similar values
Speaker 1: because you'll never be on the same page if you don't.
Speaker 2: Know, And don't you feel like you used to hear
Speaker 2: that growing up, Like I'd always hear that, Like when
Speaker 2: you're marrying someone, try to find someone that you share
Speaker 2: the same values with. That is a big deal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's important. I think also, you know,
Speaker 1: you have to have God in your relationship. I think
Speaker 1: that's also really important. And you know, we believe in
Speaker 1: God and we pray together, and I think that's important
Speaker 1: because you can't do it alone, you know, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: got to. You got to surrender at times and hand
Speaker 1: it over to the big man.
Speaker 2: But I feel like, once again, religion, I think it's
Speaker 2: like but where it's where you see eye to eye right,
Speaker 2: and where you guys agree if like you disagree on
Speaker 2: a lot of like fundamental things, but yet you're hot
Speaker 2: for each other and that fire is there. It's like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, well, the fire eventually, right, That's what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. You know, it's cool off, Yes, So I'm
Speaker 2: just saying I would rather be like like before you,
Speaker 2: I dated you know, various people and I'm not going
Speaker 2: to name a name here. There was someone I dated. Sorry,
Speaker 2: if I want to hear this.
Speaker 1: Sorry, thank you though.
Speaker 2: Well you know, and anyway, bottom line is, at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, I knew I never wanted to
Speaker 2: be with this person because fundamentally he and I were
Speaker 2: not cut from the same cloth, because I am not
Speaker 2: a cheater, and I was.
Speaker 1: Just leaving it all right. On that note, thank you
Speaker 1: guys so much for listening to the Bill and Julianna podcast.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. If you're good, you know,
Speaker 1: things that are said on the show are not necessarily accurate.
Speaker 2: No lawsuits can be filed. My point is, yeah, he doesn't.
Speaker 2: I didn't say his name, But my point is I knew.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, this guy, he's a cheater. And
Speaker 2: if he's a cheater, now I just couldn't get I
Speaker 2: couldn't get with that program. And I just felt like,
Speaker 2: you know, I love you so much and I would
Speaker 2: never cheat. And so my whole thing is like, if
Speaker 2: it ever came to that, I would give you the
Speaker 2: courtesy of being like, hey, this is what's going to happen,
Speaker 2: let's break up.
Speaker 1: I will do the same. Thank you so much. I
Speaker 1: will return the favor. All right, Thank you guys for listening.
Speaker 1: We will see you next Tuesday on the Bill and
Speaker 1: Juliana podcast.
Speaker 2: Yep, thanks guys,
