Man, I would 66 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: say it's a mixture. I'm gonna speak for me and 67 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 2: possibly you. I would say it's a mixture of for 68 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: me not understanding really where balance ever is, and then 69 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: the line of extremely secure and wildly insecure and not 70 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 2: knowing where that ever is. 71 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 4: Definitely, I think that's exactly right. I think also the 72 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 4: spice of like it being a public job is sometimes lonely, 73 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 4: and probably maybe I don't mean to be like it's 74 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 4: unique like special, but maybe more unique than a guy 75 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 4: who's like, I'm a lawyer and I work too much. 76 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 4: Like there's other stuff kind of like tangled up in it. 77 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 3: Sometimes. 78 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: Maybe that like a solo identity, meaning you're the only 79 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 2: ben rector. 80 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 4: I don't I don't know what I meant by that. 81 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 4: I think there's weird stuff that comes along with it. 82 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 4: There's like weird side dishes that maybe don't happen with 83 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 4: other meals. 84 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: I would agree. 85 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say in the same way that my 86 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 2: friends that are professional athletes that play solo sports are 87 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: way nuttier than my friends who play on teas. 88 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, very fair. 89 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: One of my dearest friends, Andy Rotick, is a tennis player, 90 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 2: the greatest guys, but out of a skull, right, because 91 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: everything's on him. 92 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, And the kind of person that self selects into 93 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 4: that and then continues to self select into that is 94 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 4: pretty specific. 95 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. 96 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 2: He chose and continue to choose to grind away. So 97 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: everything's good and bad, it's all on him, right. It's 98 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 2: different than a buddy that plays in the NFL and 99 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 2: has it one of eleven. 100 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that's back there. 101 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 7: Yeah. 102 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, when you say you're coming off tour and you're 103 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 2: figuring it out, so what is it? I still don't 104 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 2: know what you meant, like how it's presented. 105 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 4: I'd say to use a workout analogy. It feels like 106 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 4: when you're doing a tour or making a record or whatever, 107 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 4: you have like a trainer that's like, this is exactly 108 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 4: what you do. You don't have to think about it, 109 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 4: and it's challenging, but there's not a lot of brain 110 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 4: power expended on like what am I doing actually, or 111 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 4: like creatively, what am I doing? And then when you're 112 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 4: done with that, because when I'm on tour, I'm always like, man, 113 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 4: I'm ready to take a break because it is it's 114 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 4: it is a grueling thing, but there's a part of 115 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 4: you you know that when you're done with that, it's 116 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 4: sort of like, Okay, now what do you want to do? 117 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 4: And you have to make it all up. And I think, 118 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 4: as you were saying a little earlier, like I'm I 119 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 4: feel like I'm always like trying to find balance and 120 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 4: my brain doesn't help me do that very well, because 121 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 4: like anytime I'm like I'm going to find balance in 122 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 4: this way, it's like you're being lazy, you're being whatever. 123 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 4: And I think at this point, I'm like, oh, I'm not, 124 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 4: you know, twenty one anymore, and I want to see 125 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 4: my kids and having some semblance of a normal life, 126 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 4: So like, what do I want to look what I 127 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 4: want that to look like? But that's a big it's 128 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 4: like a big math problem. I don't know how to 129 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 4: like really try to solve it. 130 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: You felt yourself. 131 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 2: Modifying goals because you're not twenty one anymore. 132 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 4: Yes, And I'm a bad person to ask about this 133 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 4: because I feel like I have such a complicated relationship 134 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 4: with things like like a goal in like a my 135 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 4: job since because I don't know really what's possible as 136 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 4: far as like, as much as I want to be 137 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 4: like I'm going to win a Grammy four Album of 138 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 4: the Year, my real take is like, I don't know 139 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 4: if that's really a possibility for me. I don't think 140 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 4: that that's like a thing that is going to happen. 141 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 4: And I can feel the Instagram like hustle people be 142 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 4: like not with an attitude like that it's not. So 143 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 4: there's that, and then there's also the part of it 144 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 4: that's like, as things have gone better and better, I 145 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 4: haven't necessarily become happier and happier, and so I'm like, oh, 146 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 4: I want to like round this out with some more balance, 147 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 4: but I don't know how to like actually approach that. 148 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 4: It's very difficult, and I think other I envy people 149 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 4: who don't have a complicated relationship with it, the people 150 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 4: that are just like I want to drive the sickest 151 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 4: car in the world.

I don't know, and I just 156 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 4: probably think about everything a little too much. But that 157 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 4: is a challenge for me. I don't know what is 158 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 4: reasonable to aim for goal wise, and uh, I don't 159 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 4: actually know what I want goal wise, as clear as 160 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 4: I can say it.

So if you like spoiler free reviews, 412 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 13: be sure to subscribe to my podcast. But right now, 413 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 13: here's just a little bit of my IF review. Let's 414 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 13: get into it now. A spoiler free movie review of 415 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 13: If from writer and director John Krasinski, who you would 416 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 13: know from the office. 417 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 3: He's also a directing movies like A Quiet Place. 418 00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 13: And this may surprise you, but I am not a 419 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 13: ca And you're gonna ask, why is this thirty two 420 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 13: year old going on about a kid's movie? Why is 421 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 13: he so passionate about it? As a former kid, I 422 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 13: hold these movies to a high regard, anything in the 423 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 13: family and kid category, because it was the reason I 424 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 13: fell in love with movies initially. So I don't want 425 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 13: any movie to rob any kid of that experience. You 426 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 13: can rip me off as an adult, you can sell 427 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 13: me a bomb. I go watch a movie and I 428 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 13: hate it, that's fine. I'm an adult. I can take it. 429 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 13: But for a kid to go to a theater to 430 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 13: experience something that they want to take them out of 431 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,959 Speaker 13: this world or to help them understand maybe something that 432 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 13: they can't learn from their parents, or they're struggling, maybe 433 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 13: don't have a parent. A movie can do that, and 434 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 13: a movie can be powerful in many ways. So that 435 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 13: is why I hold these movies to such a high regard. 436 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 13: I don't review these as a thirty two year old me. 437 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 13: I review them me as a kid sitting in that theater, 438 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 13: but also taking the cues and the emotions that I 439 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 13: feel in the theater. So that is just my little 440 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,719 Speaker 13: preface here. But what the movie is actually about. You 441 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 13: have this girl named Bee who is going through a 442 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 13: traumagic experience. She just lost her mom and now her 443 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 13: dad is in the hospital. And during these times, as 444 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 13: she is interpreting all these emotions she's twelve years old, 445 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 13: she starts seeing other kids, imaginary friends. She has this 446 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 13: ability to see them, no one else can see them. 447 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 13: So it is her mission now throughout the movie to 448 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 13: pair up these imaginary friends who no longer have kids 449 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 13: to play with, and find new kids for them so 450 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 13: they can continue to live on. Kayleie Fleming plays Bee, 451 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 13: who really dominated this movie. My favorite performance from a 452 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 13: young actor probably since Violet McGraw and Megan who also 453 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 13: carried that movie. I feel like we've gotten a little 454 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 13: bit away from letting kids lead movies. And I feel 455 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 13: like her performance in this surpassed Ryan Reynolds and even 456 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 13: surpassed the als voice actors that were voicing all the 457 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 13: characters in this movie. So what she is struggling with, 458 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 13: even though she's twelve years old, she doesn't want to 459 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 13: be called a kid because she's experienced life, She's experienced 460 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 13: heartache and loss, and she he acts so much more 461 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 13: mature than she actually is. Meanwhile, in this time, her dad, 462 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 13: John Krasinski, who's in the hospital, is doing all these 463 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 13: really playful things to keep the spirit really a light, 464 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 13: to kind of keep her mind off of why he 465 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 13: is actually there. She's like, Dad, stop doing that. I'm 466 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 13: not a kid. I don't need you to coddle me. 467 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 13: For her to have that kind of emotion really reminded 468 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 13: me of me as a kid, because as far back 469 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 13: as when I was in elementary school, I remember my 470 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 13: teacher telling my mom that, hey, this kid acts way 471 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 13: more mature than he actually is. He doesn't really like 472 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 13: all the more childish things. And I had a real 473 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 13: hard time just being a kid because I was always 474 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 13: more mature. I had a brother and a sister who 475 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 13: were seven nine years older than me. So I think 476 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 13: it was me always trying to be cool in their 477 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 13: eyes that I didn't allow myself to be a kid. 478 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 13: Probably past like eight or nine years old. I always 479 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 13: wanted to be like them, so even at eight or nine, 480 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 13: and I was probably acting more like a late teenager. 481 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 13: So that part of the movie really resonated with me, 482 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 13: because there are kids who have to grow up faster 483 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 13: because of the things they experience in life, and I 484 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 13: really haven't seen that represented in a movie yet, so 485 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 13: I think kids now being able to identify with a 486 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 13: character like that is really important. The other thing I 487 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 13: identified with, which is more of what the movie focuses on, 488 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 13: is having an imaginary friend. Because b is connecting with 489 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 13: all these imaginary friends, they all have different personalities, and 490 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 13: I think seeing this as an adult reminded me of 491 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 13: my imaginary friend. I created him because I was really lonely. 492 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 13: I grew up in a trailer park and it was 493 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 13: really hard for me to make friends. I had two 494 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 13: really solid friends in the trailer park that I made 495 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 13: on my own. I also had a cousin who was 496 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 13: like a built in best friend, and in the trailer 497 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 13: park I lived in. Everybody would eventually just move away 498 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 13: and you would never see him again again. This was 499 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 13: late nineties early two thousands, where internet wasn't as prevalent 500 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 13: as it is now. Once somebody left the trailer park, 501 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 13: they were gone. My first best friend moved away, and 502 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 13: the ultimate move away from a trailer park is you 503 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 13: get a house. That was the ultimate goal. To go 504 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 13: from living in a trailer park to having a brick 505 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 13: house was the dream. So Zach was the first one 506 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 13: to do that. My other friend Eric moved away, my 507 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 13: cousin moved away, and it was just me by myself. 508 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 6: It was hard for me to make new friends. 509 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 3: When more kids would move into. 510 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 13: The trailer park, I always felt like they were younger 511 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 13: than me, so it was hard for me to find 512 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 13: kids my age, and I was also just really awkward 513 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 13: and more mature. So I created an imaginary friend. I 514 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 13: don't really remember a whole lot of details about him, 515 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 13: probably because it was created at a trauma or something, 516 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 13: but I remember the last time playing with my imaginary 517 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 13: best friend. 518 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: It was raining. 519 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 13: We were sitting on some steps and I think he 520 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 13: just evaporated, and that was me saying goodbye. 521 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 6: To my childhood, I guess so. 522 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 13: I think watching this movie as an adult will transport 523 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 13: you back into your childhood, especially if you had an 524 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 13: imaginary friend. The big problem I had with IF is 525 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 13: it felt really unoriginal, and it also took a really 526 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 13: long time to get going. It was probably forty five 527 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 13: minutes until anything really big happened, and that is hard 528 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 13: to do kids movie. I felt the audience getting a 529 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 13: little bit restless because you need those big, fun moments 530 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 13: that kids are gonna get invested in, and I think 531 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 13: that was overall what this movie struggled with. It very 532 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 13: much felt more like an adult telling the story to 533 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 13: kids and thinking, oh, this is probably what kids like 534 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 13: instead of what I like. In kids and family movies, 535 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 13: you forget that an adult is even involved in the process. 536 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 13: It feels more like it's a kid at the helm 537 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 13: calling all the shots, and it feels like a kid 538 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 13: movie being told from the perspective of a kid. I 539 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 13: think that is when a movie like this truly shines. 540 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 13: It reminds me of watching Nickelodeon as a kid, and 541 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 13: that channel very much felt like there was no adult influence. 542 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 13: It felt like cartoons being made for kids by kids, 543 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 13: and all the adults were lame. A little bit of 544 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 13: that memory has been tarnished with quiet on the set now, 545 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 13: but I'm choosing to remember just the animated chosen, the 546 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 13: really early Nickelodeon stuff. So overall, I felt like it 547 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 13: was more of a movie made for adults. The overall 548 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 13: message of the story was don't let yourself forget to 549 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 13: be a kid, don't be afraid to be a kid. 550 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 13: And it felt like it would resonate more with adults 551 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 13: watching it than it would kids. So overall, for if, 552 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 13: I give it three point five out of five Big 553 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 13: Purple Monsters. 554 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 14: Adam Carolne She's a queen and talking and it was 555 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 14: so she's getting really not afraid to feed? 556 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 15: Which episode soul? 557 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 7: Just let it flow? 558 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 14: No one can do we quiet car line it sound 559 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 14: for Caroline. 560 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 16: Hey, y'all, it's Caroline Hobby from Get Real with Caroline Hobby. 561 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 16: And here is a clip from this week's episode. 562 00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 11: Okay, how did you and Michael meet?
