Speaker 1: This is the most dramatic podcast ever and iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: Chris Harrison and Lauren z mc comedy from the home
Speaker 1: office in Dublin, Ireland. No, we're back. We're back from Ireland.
Speaker 1: We are back in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 2: Back home.
Speaker 1: But we did have an amazing little VAKA little getaway,
Speaker 1: a little work which we can talk about it at a
Speaker 1: later date. They're in Ireland and so Elsie and I
Speaker 1: went abroad and Elz got in touch with her Irish roots.
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. I'm happy to say we saw a doctor.
Speaker 1: We had the Irish removed from Elzie.
Speaker 2: No, what are you talking about? Oh it's my name
Speaker 2: is Laura Nozima.
Speaker 1: It's back. If you followed Elsie on social media last week,
Speaker 1: you saw she got a case of the Irish, as
Speaker 1: many do.
Speaker 2: When you that's sweet. Is that what the freeze means?
Speaker 1: The case of the Irish?
Speaker 2: You start doing an Irish accent. No, there's no way,
Speaker 2: that's good. Okay. I had so much fun. The people
Speaker 2: of Ireland are so so kind. If we can give
Speaker 2: a couple quick wrecks, I will. First of all, we
Speaker 2: did a super fun walking This is our favorite thing.
Speaker 2: To do in any city.
Speaker 1: It really has become our go to So if.
Speaker 2: You're going to a new city, here's a great way
Speaker 2: to learn about it, but have a good time and
Speaker 2: not be on like a boring three hour tour where
Speaker 2: you were hearing so many facts that you start to
Speaker 2: tune them out and you're thinking, when's lunch. Put lunch
Speaker 2: in the tour.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: We love to book and I've used via tour before
Speaker 2: for this, but we love to book a walking historic
Speaker 2: food tour in a city. And this is where you
Speaker 2: have a great local who's going to take you two
Speaker 2: different some of their favorite food spots in the city,
Speaker 2: usually like they've coordinated with the places before, so there's
Speaker 2: a bite of food waiting for you when you get there,
Speaker 2: and then as you walk to the try this different
Speaker 2: great cuisine. They tell you about the history of the
Speaker 2: city that you see along the way. So in Ireland
Speaker 2: we had Kevin from Walking Food Tours. Highly recommend him
Speaker 2: if you go to Dublin. He was so much fun
Speaker 2: and he had He also had worked at the Guinness
Speaker 2: factory for a decade and he'd been one of their
Speaker 2: top employees. So he also told us all about Guinness
Speaker 2: which was great because what else do you do in
Speaker 2: Ireland drink a guinness?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he taught us how to drink get us properly,
Speaker 1: and it was We did this in Charleston, South Carolina.
Speaker 1: It was awesome. We did it obviously with Kevin there
Speaker 1: and Natalie.
Speaker 2: It's just the best way to see a city because
Speaker 2: you're snacking and you're talking it. We did.
Speaker 1: We did it in Florence as well, and we've had
Speaker 1: the best results. And again, I learned so much about Dublin.
Speaker 1: And we started in the Liberties and we went over
Speaker 1: to the kind of the original district there.
Speaker 2: Okay, I also learned you just said the case of
Speaker 2: the Irish. I feel dumb. I didn't know how many
Speaker 2: phrases we use come from Ireland. The phrase the graveyard
Speaker 2: shift come. Okay, well let's start with this. We learned
Speaker 2: an Irish wake came from when people used to drink
Speaker 2: this alcohol that's now illegal, and it was so strong
Speaker 2: that it would make them seem dead, and so they
Speaker 2: would bear days for days. So they'd bury the with
Speaker 2: a bell attached to a rope. So then they said accidentally, yes,
Speaker 2: so they would have a finger of the dead maybe
Speaker 2: dead body attached to a bell on a rope, and
Speaker 2: so if you woke up in your coffin, you could
Speaker 2: ring the bell and be buried alive. So that's the phrase,
Speaker 2: and be saved, So that's the phrase, saved by the bell.
Speaker 1: The phrase by the bell came from, Yes, the.
Speaker 2: Graveyard shift came from people who were assigned to walk
Speaker 2: around the graveyard in case the bells got rod. And
Speaker 2: then the phrase an Irish wake comes from they started saying,
Speaker 2: you know what, this isn't really working because it turns
Speaker 2: out you didn't always hear the bell and people would
Speaker 2: just die. And so they decided to keep the bodies
Speaker 2: in the house for a few days after death and
Speaker 2: just see if they woke up.
Speaker 1: You would eat and drink, and it was an Irish wake,
Speaker 1: and if they woke up, it was a pleasant surprise.
Speaker 1: You imagine, just uncle Bob walks downstairs. Holy crap, I
Speaker 1: told you he wasn't dead us.
Speaker 2: And also, if you guys feel my accent is very bad,
Speaker 2: feel free to do you crushed it.
Speaker 1: Shit faced came from drinking all the whiskey during the fire.
Speaker 1: And a lot of great phrases that we have borrowed.
Speaker 1: Slash stolen have come from our friends in Ireland.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, have we stolen them? I don't know,
Speaker 2: because as Kevin told us, there's like they estimate something
Speaker 2: like eighty million people around the world have Irish descent.
Speaker 1: Which is interesting because it's such a small country and
Speaker 1: a small population of what four or five million?
Speaker 2: Well people really left her people really?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the old great trip. We had a wonderful time.
Speaker 1: You never meet a stranger in Ireland.
Speaker 2: I also got to give a shout out to one
Speaker 2: of the best meals we've ever had. If you're in
Speaker 2: chapter in Dublin, Chapter one. The restaurant was it's a
Speaker 2: little bit pricey, but like not crazy, not as much
Speaker 2: expensive as it would be in America. And one of
Speaker 2: the best meals I've ever had. And you said you'd
Speaker 2: ever have, which is saying song, I would.
Speaker 1: Say, one of my top five favorite meals I've had
Speaker 1: in the world. It was just spectacular. It was wonderful.
Speaker 2: And then check out the seaside town of Hoth. We
Speaker 2: had a great time at hothe You you got an
Speaker 2: Irish accent. I don't know why in Hoth specifically.
Speaker 1: Because it's so easy to go up. Oh yeah, it
Speaker 1: was good. It was great to go, obviously, it's always
Speaker 1: fun to do an adventure with you, and it's good
Speaker 1: to be back home. It was sixty five degrees, zero
Speaker 1: percent in humidity, and now we are back in the
Speaker 1: opposite of that here in summer in Texas.
Speaker 2: I saw someone tweet the other day, I'm thinking about
Speaker 2: going to Dallas in August. Can anyone tell me what
Speaker 2: the weather's like? And somebody responded, have you ever been cremated?
Speaker 2: It's a little toasty and roasty here, but it didn't
Speaker 2: bother me.
Speaker 1: It's all good, you know what.
Speaker 2: A lot of people leave Texas for the full summer. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't want to do that, Like I like being instead, like,
Speaker 2: let's go on a little adventure here. Let's check this
Speaker 2: place out for a weekend. Then we'll come.
Speaker 1: Home, popping back and forth. Yeah, I don't like to
Speaker 1: be gone for that long either. We are going to
Speaker 1: be in Tahoe coming up in July. If you guys
Speaker 1: are going to be there. It's the American Century Golf Classic,
Speaker 1: the big celeb golf event run by American Century. I
Speaker 1: am so honored to have been invited. I will be

Speaker 1: brothers Kelsey will be there.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, we got to see where Taylor's tour
Speaker 2: dates are. I wonder if the.
Speaker 1: Brothers Kelsey will be there, A bunch of other just
Speaker 1: huge celebs. It's a great time.
Speaker 2: You're excited because you correct me if I'm wrong. This
Speaker 2: was something you've been asked to plan before. You'd wanted
Speaker 2: to play but never could because of the show before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the show, but also when I was shooting Who
Speaker 1: Wants to Be a Millionaire this summer? That's what I want,
Speaker 1: So I could never have three, you know, a week
Speaker 1: off in July because I was always cranking out episodes.
Speaker 1: So I am really honored to be asked, and I'm
Speaker 1: so excited to be going. You're going to be there

Speaker 1: jinks content for Melsie. This is the week of July eighth,
Speaker 1: that week we're it there.
Speaker 2: I've never been to Tahoe before, so I'm very excited.
Speaker 2: It's gorgeous and I think I'm going to do a
Speaker 2: takeover of your phone. I'm going to do a social media.
Speaker 1: A good idea, that's a horrible idea, and a great idea,
Speaker 1: that's a great idea.
Speaker 2: Continue to do it. By the way, Irelnda, you didn't golf.
Speaker 2: People were asking me, is Chris golf? And you didn't
Speaker 2: go flight.
Speaker 1: That's how much I love l Z and I just
Speaker 1: wanted to be with you.
Speaker 2: And truth, I've done it before. I have.
Speaker 1: I know I've done it. I played with my boys
Speaker 1: and had a great time. And this trip was not that.
Speaker 2: Wait, there was a cute bachelor moment and we were
Speaker 2: on our walking food tour tours of Dublin and you
Speaker 2: were like, wait, my god, I think we filmed on
Speaker 2: this street.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we were walking down Temple Bar district. Right
Speaker 1: next door was this bar that we used during Caitlin
Speaker 1: Bristow's season of The Batcher because we shot in Ireland
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks, and so I remember it
Speaker 1: was the if you guys remember it was the Irish
Speaker 1: Wake episode ironically, and I wish I'd known the story
Speaker 1: of the Irish Wake. I would have told that. But
Speaker 1: this is like, uh, I want to say Tanner was
Speaker 1: on this date Ben Higgins and what we did is
Speaker 1: We put uh Caitlin in a casket. It was an
Speaker 1: open casket, but in a casket, and the guys had
Speaker 1: to eulogize her prove their love with the ulgy, to
Speaker 1: prove their love.
Speaker 2: Who did the best?
Speaker 1: Us don't at all. I don't remember. I need to
Speaker 1: go back and check out that episode, but it was.
Speaker 1: It was, and I will say Caitlin, I give her
Speaker 1: a lot of credit because it's creepy, but she really
Speaker 1: leaned into it. It was funny because she couldn't stop giggling.
Speaker 1: We put her in this casket and it was so weird.
Speaker 1: It was such a bachelor bizarre thing to do, and
Speaker 1: we were just giggling like crazy. And so it was
Speaker 1: a funny day. We put a bunch of jamison in
Speaker 1: there and drinking whiskey. But so I went back to
Speaker 1: the exact spot where I did the stand up on
Speaker 1: the street there at Temple Bar, and we did it
Speaker 1: like eight in the morning so we could have the
Speaker 1: place to ourselves. So it was all dead, the bars
Speaker 1: weren't there, but it was funny walking by there and
Speaker 1: it all came back to me. I was like, crap,
Speaker 1: I've been here before. This is bizarre.
Speaker 2: Oh that's by the way, you know what I remember now,
Speaker 2: Caitlin laughing, you're right, and yeah it was cute because
Speaker 2: we didn't really know and then you were like, wait,
Speaker 2: this is the street we were on. So yeah, Ireland,
Speaker 2: Like again, thank you to the Irish people. They were
Speaker 2: so kind. We'll be able to talk in future what
Speaker 2: we were doing there because it was a works trip
Speaker 2: actually doing a little filming there, but thank you to
Speaker 2: the people of Ireland. We stayed at the Powers Court Hotel.
Speaker 2: It was beautiful, it's used for a lot of different
Speaker 2: filming and just loved in the temple Bar district was
Speaker 2: super fun. We went to the official Temple Bar pub,
Speaker 2: check out Chapter one restaurant, check out Kevin at Walking
Speaker 2: Food Tours and in Hoth this adorable seaside town. Do
Speaker 2: the cliff walk if you go. And we also loved
Speaker 2: Kish Fish. They had great oysters there. It's on the
Speaker 2: pier and the last place I don't I hope we
Speaker 2: can say this on our podcast, say Octopussy. It was
Speaker 2: a restaurant called Octopussy. Octopusy is that act? Is that
Speaker 2: a James Bond reference? Yes, of course it was an
Speaker 2: actual James Bond and that was in Hoth and that's
Speaker 2: right along the Peer and Hoth and that was delicious
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: Tapas, Yes, the monk fish octopusy. No reservations, no nothing. Uh,
Speaker 1: you have to to get in the queue que across
Speaker 1: uh and uh being the Boordain fans that we are
Speaker 1: because I'm such an Anthony Bourdain fan. Thank he was brilliant.
Speaker 1: We went and had a pint of guinness. You had
Speaker 1: your first pint while we were there at the Grave
Speaker 1: Diggers Pub on the other spot you went, which is
Speaker 1: the spot he went. So thank you Ireland. Good times
Speaker 1: and more to come as we did a little work
Speaker 1: over there as well. But there were some big headlines
Speaker 1: while we were gone and we got to we got
Speaker 1: to talk about some of this stuff.
Speaker 2: Okay, wait, you mentioned one thing. You said that, oh
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift, because we were talking about.
Speaker 1: So she was in London, she was just a forty
Speaker 1: minute plane ride away over at Wimbley and.
Speaker 2: We were like the only ones not at this concert
Speaker 2: because an incredible crowd for her, I mean, congratulations to
Speaker 2: her because she fills up Wembley, what is it, ninety
Speaker 2: thousand people, massive stadium And at the tour you had
Speaker 2: Tom Cruise. You had, of course, Travis Kelce and he
Speaker 2: went on stage, which was very cool and fun for
Speaker 2: the fans. You had Greta Gerwig was there, so many people,
Speaker 2: and then Paul freakin McCartney Royals.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, principally here, yeah, the Prince.
Speaker 2: I think it was so interesting that Paul McCartney was
Speaker 2: there and so fun because that does put in perspective
Speaker 2: for me her success. Like I saw someone say.
Speaker 1: The Beatles have come to see you play.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I saw somebody say like, ay, do
Speaker 2: you think Paul looks around thinks this is what Beatlemania
Speaker 2: was like? And b someone else said, I'm going to
Speaker 2: forget who it was, but they said like their grandmother
Speaker 2: saw it and said, you know what's cool. It used
Speaker 2: to be that the girls all went crazy, like we
Speaker 2: all filled those arenas for Elvis and the Beatles. Now
Speaker 2: it's for a woman. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was going to say, this is the closest I
Speaker 1: can think, and I didn't. I wasn't. I'm old, but
Speaker 1: I'm not quite old enough to know the Elvis hysteria,
Speaker 1: but have seen it obviously. And then I caught the
Speaker 1: tail end of like Beatles and all that but that,
Speaker 1: to me is the closest thing where people are flying
Speaker 1: around the world. They're passing out, they're crying. It's emotional.
Speaker 1: It's this journey. She's captivated us, and the fact that
Speaker 1: a beatle is there kind of stamps it.
Speaker 2: Paul McCartney definitely a better dancer than Prince William. That
Speaker 2: little video of him dancing.
Speaker 1: Was But wouldn't you think you just look at him,
Speaker 1: he's just he's the most awkward.
Speaker 2: No, he can't, he can't his hips.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like he's missing some joints.
Speaker 2: It's just, you know, what he's lived. He's grown up
Speaker 2: in such a weird environment. How could he learn to
Speaker 2: dance normally? I don't know. So then the controversy though,
Speaker 2: with of all people, this was so unexpected.
Speaker 1: To me, Where the hell did this come from?
Speaker 2: Dave Grohl made a comment at his own Food Fighters show,
Speaker 2: UH talked set Taylor Swift said her name, said we're
Speaker 2: on our Errors Tour, not our Errors Tour, and then
Speaker 2: said something like, but we actually play live.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we play live, so they will make a ton
Speaker 1: of errors, you know, and.
Speaker 2: Insinuating she doesn't play live.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't play live.
Speaker 2: My first reaction to this was I've interviewed Dave girl before.
Speaker 2: He was so nice, so grounded. I mean, that's my
Speaker 2: only experience with him. But all I've ever heard is
Speaker 2: he such a nice guy, and it just felt like, why,
Speaker 2: well he did.
Speaker 1: One thing I love about Dave Grohl is he's an
Speaker 1: amazing musician and he's all about the music. And he's
Speaker 1: played with so many different bands, from Food Fighters to
Speaker 1: so many others where he's collaborated. He's always about the
Speaker 1: music and inspiring people and the fact that it makes
Speaker 1: people happy and it draws people together. He seems like
Speaker 1: a very inclusive guy. So it just seemed like a
Speaker 1: really odd take and maybe, look, we all have an
Speaker 1: off day, we all have weird takes, so we'll chalk
Speaker 1: it up to bad timing, or maybe it.
Speaker 2: Came out we all knew what he was doing. He
Speaker 2: said it was purpose He literally said, and you don't
Speaker 2: want to incur the raft of the swifties.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to say this, Yeah, it was no,
Speaker 1: it was purposeful, and I'm not going to let him
Speaker 1: off the hook. He knew what he was saying. I'm
Speaker 1: just like, what, why, why? What was the point? What
Speaker 1: was the end result. You were hoping for out of
Speaker 1: this to piss off the Swifties, to start some sort
Speaker 1: of beef with Taylor Swift. First of all, you're going
Speaker 1: to lose. The Foo Fighters are great, but you're nothing
Speaker 1: compared to the power of the Swifties. As I'm sure
Speaker 1: he's finding out now, it was just a weird take
Speaker 1: and a very wrong take, because again, everything he seems
Speaker 1: to stand for is what Taylor stands for.
Speaker 2: Also, you can tell that she's singing and playing live like.
Speaker 1: A lot of times I'm sure you know, maybe when
Speaker 1: she's dancing and there's a lot of performative Broadway type stuff,
Speaker 1: maybe she isn't and there's a track, but who cares.
Speaker 2: Well, maybe I mean maybe at some parts, which right,
Speaker 2: And when you're dancing, I mean, you're doing a three
Speaker 2: hour tour multiple nights in a row. Maybe you got
Speaker 2: to save your voice a little bit. But that doesn't
Speaker 2: bother me. Like I don't expect artists and by the way,
Speaker 2: honest sly the Foo Fighters doing it in choreo. I
Speaker 2: don't expect artists to dance and sing live at the
Speaker 2: same time all night long. That's just not even that
Speaker 2: doesn't even feel healthy to me. But when she's playing
Speaker 2: at the piano, you can hear her singing. When she's
Speaker 2: on her guitar, you can hear that she's So there's.
Speaker 1: Been famous moments where it was raining or something and
Speaker 1: there's been a mess up, so she would stop. The
Speaker 1: other night, she stopped in the middle of a song
Speaker 1: that and she was helping somebody that was in distress.
Speaker 1: There have been plenty of times where you've seen she's
Speaker 1: clearly singing and she stops and then we'll start again
Speaker 1: or get on piano, and you know, I remember the
Speaker 1: famous rain video and she stopped because something was kind
Speaker 1: of att of tune, and so she went over to
Speaker 1: the pia and it was like, so clearly she's let's
Speaker 1: not worry about the chops that she has.
Speaker 2: She's It was the bultual weird response.
Speaker 1: It was such a weird thing to say, Dave Girl,
Speaker 1: that was a miss, not miss huge big mess.
Speaker 2: So we are we are swifties in regard by the way,
Speaker 2: I was a Dave Girl fan. It's just such a
Speaker 2: weird take. So next up, I want to get into
Speaker 2: a potential moment where you might have made that headlines. Okay,
Speaker 2: we got a lot of people sending this our way
Speaker 2: the podcast Call Her Daddy with Alex Cooper. I guess
Speaker 2: they posted the like a picture of a date card
Speaker 2: and a rose, and she said, you know, surprise guests coming,
Speaker 2: And all these people were sending it to us being like,
Speaker 2: is this Chris, And in the comment servers like, I
Speaker 2: want it to be Chris, Chris, please spill the tea,
Speaker 2: Please have Chris Harrison on, which is so nice. It
Speaker 2: was not you. It is not you, not that I
Speaker 2: know of, no, but that made me wonder and I
Speaker 2: have never thought about it. We've never Would you do
Speaker 2: her podcast?
Speaker 1: Sure? One hundred percent. Yeah, I would do. I would
Speaker 1: do Call Her Daddy. I'd be fun. I mean, look
Speaker 1: the I understand that I've listened to it a couple
Speaker 1: of times that so I know in those interviews it
Speaker 1: reminds me a little bit of Howard Stern back in
Speaker 1: the day.
Speaker 2: Oh that's a big compliment.
Speaker 1: Howard Stern was a big fan of the Bachelor and
Speaker 1: watch and would talk about it a lot. And people
Speaker 1: are like, oh, you should do Stern and I'm like, yes,
Speaker 1: but I know what he will want. I know, you know,
Speaker 1: he's a really good interviewer. He will push you and
Speaker 1: try and you know, really get the goods. And at
Speaker 1: the time I was working on the show, I couldn't
Speaker 1: go there. I knew I couldn't give Howard Stern the
Speaker 1: interview that I would want to give a legendary interviewer
Speaker 1: like that with Call Her Daddy, I feel you kind
Speaker 1: of owe them the same respect. When somebody has a good,
Speaker 1: popular podcast, they're very successful, and I know how they
Speaker 1: are successful because they really push the interview envelope and
Speaker 1: they're very good at that. You want to, at least
Speaker 1: I do as a guest. I want to give them
Speaker 1: what they deserve, and that's a good, strong interview. And
Speaker 1: so I think I'm capable of that now. I wasn't prior,
Speaker 1: but I can now and I'm fine with that. So
Speaker 1: now I would absolutely do it, and I respect what
Speaker 1: they do and how they do it.
Speaker 2: What about how it gets there might be a couple
Speaker 2: of sexual questions for you on that podcast.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, look, here's the thing. I am
Speaker 1: who I am. I'm not going to change when I
Speaker 1: go on and I like talk, you know, I'm still
Speaker 1: going to hold true to who I am.
Speaker 2: But I think it would be fun for you. Actually, yeah, fun.
Speaker 1: Find people trying to push me and make me feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Nothing makes me feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: That's why we're married.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you push me to feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: You don't think I ever push you.
Speaker 1: Of course you do. Yeah, Okay, that's why I love
Speaker 1: you so much as you do push me in every facet. No,
Speaker 1: So I was very but I was very flattered. You
Speaker 1: showed me the comments and I was looking at some
Speaker 1: of them. I was very flattered that everybody was excited
Speaker 1: that it might have been me on the show, and
Speaker 1: they gave me a lot of love. And that always
Speaker 1: makes me feel good because it makes me always go
Speaker 1: back to the one thing that you and I always
Speaker 1: talk about that I love most was my connection with you,
Speaker 1: my connection with the viewers and people that love the show.
Speaker 1: And I was excited that they thought, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: Chris is going to be on this other thing I love.
Speaker 1: So it made me feel good and I love everybody
Speaker 1: for thinking.
Speaker 2: About it all right, from love to oh Love, Crashing
Speaker 2: and Burning. I want to talk about this Satelline. I
Speaker 2: don't know if everybody will know who she is, but
Speaker 2: Kelly Ben Simone I'm a Housewives fan Bravostance, sure, and
Speaker 2: she was one of the most gave us some of
Speaker 2: the best moments of TV ever on The Real Housewives
Speaker 2: of New York. She's no longer on the show, but
Speaker 2: if you remember Scary Island, one of my favorite episodes
Speaker 2: ever of reality TV, that was all Kelly.
Speaker 1: So she.
Speaker 2: Was going to get married and has just called off
Speaker 2: the wedding because the guy or fiance refused to sign
Speaker 2: a prenup. She tells People Magazine that she would then
Speaker 2: quote refuse to marry him. She said, to be clear,
Speaker 2: he refused to sign a prenuptial agreement, and I refuse
Speaker 2: to marry him full stop. So this was interesting to
Speaker 2: me because it just made me think, like, you know,
Speaker 2: what's your response to this? What do you think? I mean?
Speaker 2: You and I were never in this situation. But on
Speaker 2: the one hand, it makes sense to me. On the
Speaker 2: other hand, I'm like, how did they get here though.
Speaker 1: Clearly they Maybe it was no ongoing negotiation, We don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was something that was spur of the moment
Speaker 1: and it came in late and he's like, whoa, you know,
Speaker 1: you've just moved the goalpost and changed the game, but
Speaker 1: clearly she has more to give and is protecting her
Speaker 1: assets and protecting her life. Who knows, I don't know
Speaker 1: her backstory at all, but clearly it's important to her.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing with prenupts and all of this stuff.
Speaker 1: It's something that you have to handle delicately, and both
Speaker 1: sides need to just be very open and honest about
Speaker 1: what it is. And if everybody feels like they're protected
Speaker 1: and taken care of, then you're good. Obviously he didn't
Speaker 1: feel that. She didn't feel that, and it's amazing that
Speaker 1: that is what ended up dissolving this entire relationship. Though.
Speaker 1: That's an amazing final step of we're not going to
Speaker 1: get married.
Speaker 2: I think what's kind of crazy to me is they've
Speaker 2: been engaged for almost a year. They got engaged fourth
Speaker 2: of July last year. In an official statement, she said, oh,
Speaker 2: their wedding was set for this weekend for June twenty ninth,
Speaker 2: and she called it off on Tuesday, June twenty fifth.
Speaker 2: Her statement said she was looking forward to an exciting
Speaker 2: new chapter in her life, but then everything with Scott
Speaker 2: became clear to her late on Tuesday afternoon. She said
Speaker 2: he thought that I would enter this union without legal
Speaker 2: protections in place, that I would leave everything to faith.
Speaker 2: But I've worked really, really hard as a single mother,
Speaker 2: and I've always made smart decisions for myself and my family,
Speaker 2: and that will continue. Well. I certainly respect her for
Speaker 2: that second part, But I just don't get how when
Speaker 2: the wedding's on Friday and it's Tuesday you still don't
Speaker 2: have the prenup thing worked out and then you call
Speaker 2: it off. That feels like the relationship was not doing
Speaker 2: is what you just said, of like really communicating, well,
Speaker 2: like maybe this is a good thing. We avoided this
Speaker 2: marriage to say.
Speaker 1: There may have been other issues and that maybe this
Speaker 1: union was not as strong as we may have thought
Speaker 1: heading into it. Or I mean, maybe the rug was
Speaker 1: pulled out from under one of them. You know, they
Speaker 1: felt like they were in agreement, was I Again, you
Speaker 1: don't know until you know all the facts from both sides.
Speaker 2: And when do you start the prenup conversation. I'm ahead
Speaker 2: of a.
Speaker 1: Wedding, I think it needs to be as soon as
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty soon after you get it.
Speaker 1: I think as soon as after you get engaged. Obviously
Speaker 1: you bask in the glory, and then you start having
Speaker 1: that conversation very openly and honestly, and it's a give
Speaker 1: and take and you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Interestingly, I wouldn't say that you need to talk
Speaker 2: about it that much before you get engaged, Oh.
Speaker 1: No, because it's really and until you get to that
Speaker 1: step where you know you're going to get married, and
Speaker 1: then it's having that very honest conversation and typically it's
Speaker 1: you know, the give and take and back and forth.
Speaker 1: You realize, Hey, this is who I'm protecting. I want
Speaker 1: my kids to be, you know, taking care of this way.
Speaker 1: And you know your spouse or whoever will understand that
Speaker 1: and say, okay, great, as long as I feel protected too.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Again, it's just as long as everyone realizes what it
Speaker 1: is and it's not. It's not an fu clause. I
Speaker 1: think that's the old misnomer about it.
Speaker 2: It's hard for people to not see it a negative way.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 1: And I think that's the thing is prenup's got such
Speaker 1: a negative connotation for so long. It's actually a protection
Speaker 1: for both of you, and it's a very smart thing.
Speaker 1: And so it's it's an important thing that you talk
Speaker 1: through with Atney and both sides feel comfortable with it
Speaker 1: and everybody realizes it's for your own good. But if
Speaker 1: it's if it's taken as screw you. I just want
Speaker 1: you to know, if this thing goes south, you're dead
Speaker 1: to us and you're gone and you're penniless, then yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe that is a bridge too far.
Speaker 2: Maybe the Harry Potter TV series, it has just been announced,
Speaker 2: is going to hit HBO in twenty twenty six. So
Speaker 2: we have an official timeline on the previously announced series
Speaker 2: and it has found it's showrunner and director. Now where
Speaker 2: I might get you grabbed her, babe, is that there's
Speaker 2: some alumni from the show Succession coming to work on
Speaker 2: the new iteration of Harry Potter.
Speaker 1: Harry Potter beats Succession. I'm going to be a dark show.
Speaker 2: Hey, Harry Potter's darkness. It is dark. You've got Voldemort's
Speaker 2: trying to n't touch over the world.
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm intrigued by the whole thought of a Harry
Speaker 1: Potter television series.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, tell me why.
Speaker 1: I just I don't know. It's such an epic film
Speaker 1: series and you encapsulated these moments in time of Harry's
Speaker 1: life and these kids growing up and so they felt
Speaker 1: just so again epic, so grand, so big and monumental.
Speaker 1: To have it like an eleven part series is I
Speaker 1: trust that they will do it right and handle it
Speaker 1: with great care, but it worries me that it feels
Speaker 1: diluted and feels smaller than well.
Speaker 2: See, that's interesting because they're trying to make it seem bigger,
Speaker 2: like their whole point. I even have the statement here
Speaker 2: this new Max Original series will dive deep into each
Speaker 2: of the iconic books. So dive deep into each of
Speaker 2: the iconic books. I think what they're playing off of
Speaker 2: is that an early criticism of the movies was that
Speaker 2: they didn't contain everything about the books. I mean, but
Speaker 2: the books are I think the longest one is nine
Speaker 2: hundred pages, so shockingly you can't forbid all that into
Speaker 2: a movie. But I also think like the best adaptations
Speaker 2: from book to movie or book to TV are the
Speaker 2: ones that capture the tone and have the most important scenes.
Speaker 2: Like I don't think any movie can ever fully faithfully
Speaker 2: adapt a book. I saw someone say about screenwriting the
Speaker 2: other day. Well, they said, basically, at the end of
Speaker 2: the day, every movie really just has a couple scenes
Speaker 2: you really remember, and that's so true. So when you
Speaker 2: think about it that way, when you're adapting a book
Speaker 2: to a movie, it's just really got to have the
Speaker 2: most important bits from the book. And to me, will
Speaker 2: I watch the show, Yes, it makes me a little
Speaker 2: more excited that they have some people from Succession because
Speaker 2: that makes me think the script's going to be really
Speaker 2: incredible and it's going to be really high level, I think,
Speaker 2: some serious talent. But I do think this is just
Speaker 2: a money grab. They're just trying to reinvest a new,
Speaker 2: a new in the inn in their one of their
Speaker 2: most their biggest assets, their.
Speaker 1: Biggest franchise as that's working these days.
Speaker 2: And I wish that they would have done and you're
Speaker 2: not going to know what this is, but I wish
Speaker 2: they would have been brave and bold and done something new,
Speaker 2: which I think people are crying out for new things
Speaker 2: in general. And that is a Marauders prequel series. Okay,
Speaker 2: So what that is is that that would be a
Speaker 2: series about Harry's parents and the first time everybody battled Voldemort.
Speaker 1: So you would want the prequel to exactly you would
Speaker 1: You would want the Star Wars version of this where
Speaker 1: we go back and do episode.
Speaker 2: One, absolutely, absolutely what's.
Speaker 1: The timing on this feels good? When was like the
Speaker 1: last Harry Potter movie released? Good question, it's been decade.
Speaker 1: Let me look up the exact year. I want to
Speaker 1: say late two.
Speaker 2: Thousand, fifteen years the last one came out Deathly Hollis
Speaker 2: Part two and twenty eleven, so it's been thirteen years.
Speaker 1: So that's a good that's a good amount of time.
Speaker 1: That generation has grown up and now we'll kind of
Speaker 1: watch this as adults.
Speaker 2: Oh here I am. But here's what I would argue.
Speaker 2: The movies hold up. It's not like they look dated
Speaker 2: and you need a new version.
Speaker 1: I think it's like now fifteen years later. By the
Speaker 1: time this thing actually comes out in twenty twenty six,
Speaker 1: it'll be fifteen years. I mean we're talking probably thirty
Speaker 1: years since the you know, the first one came out,
Speaker 1: So it's.
Speaker 2: Not been thirty years. It's been since two thousand and one.
Speaker 2: It's spent at least twenty Oh god, don't care, well
Speaker 2: twenty time comes out.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I think the timing is right to repurpose
Speaker 1: these you know movies. They do hold up, and they'll
Speaker 1: drive people back to watch them. But I think it's
Speaker 1: a good thing.
Speaker 2: Are you saying? For the record, I'm.
Speaker 1: In you're going to watch Yeah.
Speaker 2: Wow, this is like me agreeing to watch golf, babe.
Speaker 2: Thank you. That feels huge.
Speaker 1: Hey, my story that you're not going to care about.
Speaker 1: I got to give a shout out to the nosebleed
Speaker 1: of the week, Texas A and M baseball coach Jim Slosnagel,
Speaker 1: who is now the head coach at the University of Texas.
Speaker 1: Here's my issue. For those of you that know, I
Speaker 1: started my career as a sport It's broadcaster as a journalist,
Speaker 1: and I would cover sports like college baseball. I covered
Speaker 1: college baseball at OUOSU back when it was the Big Eight.
Speaker 1: And actually A and M and Texas were involved in this.
Speaker 1: So Texas A and M went to the World Series.
Speaker 1: They just lost to University of Tennessee. By the way,
Speaker 1: Vall's congratulations those fans. They won the World Series for
Speaker 1: the first time in the history of their school. Very exciting.
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning was there, Morgan Wallen was there. Morgan and
Speaker 1: Peyton were hanging out, dapping each other up after the win.
Speaker 1: That was kind of cool. But anyway, in the press
Speaker 1: conference right after Texas a and m lost. Somebody clearly
Speaker 1: had the little insight and said, coach, I hear you
Speaker 1: might be heading to the University of Texas. Are you leaving?
Speaker 1: Is there any validity to the story that you're going
Speaker 1: to go to ut and become the new University of
Speaker 1: Texas baseball coach. This guy could have handled this in
Speaker 1: a number of ways. Hey, my boys just had their
Speaker 1: hearts ripped out. This isn't the time or placed to
Speaker 1: deal with that. There's plenty of time, Like we're still hurting.
Speaker 1: You know, that's not appropriate right now. We'll cross that
Speaker 1: bridge when we get there. Instead, what he did is
Speaker 1: he tore into this journalist who did his job. This
Speaker 1: guy did his job, had a lead, asked the poignant
Speaker 1: question that he was supposed to ask, and the guy
Speaker 1: publicly ripped him apart. And this got magnified because this
Speaker 1: was played on ESPN. It was played all around the country.
Speaker 1: This poor guy asking a very good question that he
Speaker 1: had a lead on, and this coach, Jim Slosnagel, ripped
Speaker 1: him apart and staid the question was inappropriate, disrespectful, basically
Speaker 1: called the guy an idiot and publicly undressed him. Twenty
Speaker 1: four hours later, this nosebleed of a coach took the
Speaker 1: job at the University of Texas. So the question this
Speaker 1: guy asked was not only poignant, it was factual. And
Speaker 1: he was leaving and going to Texas. And one hundred
Speaker 1: percent this coach knew when he was berating this guy
Speaker 1: and publicly under dressing him and making him look like
Speaker 1: a fool, he knew it was accurate and he was
Speaker 1: going to take that job. That makes you the nosebleed
Speaker 1: of the week. Former Texas A and M baseball coach,
Speaker 1: now University of Texas coach. Maybe our neighbor Jim Slosnagel.
Speaker 2: Okay, you're really having fun not sound say that.
Speaker 1: It hit me hard because I you know, you were
Speaker 1: a journalist. I was a sports journalist. I've been in
Speaker 1: those rooms where a coach just undresses you. But it
Speaker 1: just happened amongst your peers. Now this thing got played nationally.
Speaker 1: Not cool, coach, not cool. Be better, That's all I'm
Speaker 1: going to say. If you're coming to live in Austin
Speaker 1: with us, be better. His press conference is today. I
Speaker 1: will watch his press conference because he's going to get
Speaker 1: hammered rightfully, So I.
Speaker 2: Mean it is it's tough. We just have to remember
Speaker 2: humanity a little bit, like because moments like that, like
Speaker 2: you just said, and was the journalist a young journalist?
Speaker 1: Of course?
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, So you know he's starting out, he's figure
Speaker 2: it out, and now it's like, like, you know, nobody
Speaker 2: has the chance to figure things out anymore.
Speaker 1: You know what you may have done to that kid,
Speaker 1: like it really may have like ruined him.
Speaker 2: We had one of our kids friends, they had some
Speaker 2: friends over to our house and he and I were
Speaker 2: chatting and he was like literally asking me, Wow, so
Speaker 2: what was it like to like be in college and
Speaker 2: not have camera phones everywhere? Like you could just like
Speaker 2: kind of he goes, so you guys could just like
Speaker 2: make mistakes and not worry it would affect your whole life.
Speaker 2: And I was like, wow, they feel the weight of this.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The good news is I feel like this generation is
Speaker 1: aware of it now and they're they're course correcting our mistakes.
Speaker 2: Back to the flip phones. Everybody, let's go. So they're okay,
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I did not. I had not heard
Speaker 2: about that story. I don't want to shock you, no,
Speaker 2: So thank you for defending the young journalism. Oh quick
Speaker 2: show wreck. I just started watching Presumed Innocent with Jake
Speaker 2: Jillenhall flying through it really good shit.
Speaker 1: Okay, then I'm gonna get my show wreck.
Speaker 2: Then, okay, what is it?
Speaker 1: Mayor of Kingstown? You are such a stud. He's so
Speaker 1: good and the fact that he came back from death
Speaker 1: to do this, he's so good.
Speaker 2: He literally got run over by yes life.
Speaker 1: But it is such a good show. And I am
Speaker 1: just now getting into the middle of the whole series
Speaker 1: because I started late and started watching it, and man,
Speaker 1: I am hooked. It is so it's dark, it's rough,
Speaker 1: but man, the acting, the writing, it is Uh, mister Sheridan,
