• 2:03
  Speaker 1: don't do that, obviously. Yeah, don't do that. But we
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: are going to have all sorts of segments that, you know,

  Speaker 1: guests we've had, the news of the week, anything that

• 2:23
  Speaker 1: interesting big announcements today. So I'm really excited for you
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to join us.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I am too. And it's a great way to start
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the weekend, which I love. So it's like just a
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: fun thing. People can get to know you better.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: That's right. I don't love doing that so much. I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: like being on the other end where I can interview people,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: but yeah, so they can get to know me, they
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: can get to know you. So let's start with that actually.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: So Kelly, why don't you tell us a little bit
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: about yourself?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Where do I start? Okay. Well, hi,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I'm Kelly. I'm Rachel's producer. I live in Iowa, which
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: surprises everyone, but Iowa pops, right? It does. So yeah,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I've just been enjoying working in this genre of podcasting.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: My background for years has been true crime. So this
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: is a huge deviation from that, but it's been super fun.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: And what kind of shows were you doing in true crime?
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: So I had a show called True Crime IRL. I
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: just covered mostly like murder cases, unsolved cases. And then
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I started working with some other podcasts like Truth and
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Justice with Bob Ruff, True Crime Binge, True Crime Garage
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: a little bit. So I've worked on all those shows
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: doing like they're producing, editing videos, things like that, live
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: shows too.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Who would you say was the most interesting guest you
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: met or had on?
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. One of the most interesting guests I
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: had on was Ian Bailey. He lives in, okay, so
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: he lives in Ireland. There was this documentary done a
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: while back on Sophie Toscan de Planchier. She was a
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: French woman who had a home in Cork, Ireland, and
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: she was murdered. And a couple different networks have done
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: documentaries on the story. And there was one man at
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the center of this case who they honed in on.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: He was not found guilty. He actually was in France,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: but that's a whole other story. But he's kind of
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: been a recluse, hiding out in Ireland, hiding away from
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the media and stuff because he's been persecuted by the media.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: It's just been crazy. So I had him on. He
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: told his story. He's doing a podcast.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Wait, so does he admit to being involved? Like, what's
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: his story?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: No, he says he had no involvement at all. He
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: was a journalist at the time, and he was one
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: of the first journalists on the scene to cover the case.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: It was really the court of public opinion that found
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: him guilty for the most part because they said he
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: had like a weird fascination with the woman and the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: case and that, you know, that he was an odd character.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And he is.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: He's an odd person. He will admit that, you know,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: he writes poetry.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: That doesn't make you a murderer.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: That's right. It does not make you a murderer. So
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: he's been at the center of this focus in the
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: investigation for decades. He says he had nothing to do
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: with it. That was pretty interesting, but there've been so many,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: so many.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: And what about anyone that's come on as an expert?
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Like I know you interviewed Nancy Grace, who I'm dying
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to have on the show, or you had her on
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: one of the shows.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I met Nancy at CrimeCon, actually, because I
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: go to all the CrimeCons. So I've met her a
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: couple times, talked to her a little bit. I never
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: got to have her on the show, but I do
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: like I have talked to her a little bit, but
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I had Chris Hansen on the show. And the best.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: And you booked him for me, too. And he was fantastic.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: What did you?
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm like, awestruck by him. He's such an
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: iconic figure in true crime with his work on To
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Catch a Predator and all of his new stuff. He's
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: just so smart, so well-spoken.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And Chris has a new network out called True Blue.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: True Blue. Yeah.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: And I sat down with him last week. His episode
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: should be coming out in a couple of weeks now,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: but I used to be in awe of him also.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I thought he was fantastic. And I would watch that
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Dateline show once a week or whenever it came on,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: And I couldn't wait to see who this idiot was
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: that got fooled into coming to this house and saw
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: this young girl folding laundry or making cookies and didn't
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: realize that they were on To Catch a Predator because
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: it had become such a famous show. And what was
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: interesting about when I spoke to him, he said that
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of people were were kind of fanboy over
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: him and wanted to tell their whole story to him
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: because they knew the show, they knew who he was.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And so they almost didn't care about getting caught.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: That's like the magic of Chris Hansen. I think he's
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: so personable and approachable and genuine and people just want
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: to talk to him. So it's like a natural fit
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: for him to be in this line of work. He's
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: been a journalist since like what, literally like his senior
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: year of college.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So that episode, when it comes out,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: will be really interesting.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I can't wait.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: So getting back to you, you have three children.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I do. I have three kids. My oldest is grown,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: graduated from college, has a career, all of that. But
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: my two youngest are nine and 10 and I have
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: all boys.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And it's crazy that you have such an adult
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: child because you look so young. How old are you?
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, thank you. I'm 45. I was young when
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I had him. He's 26. So he's literally like my
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: best friend. We talk every day a couple times a day.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're not supposed to be like your best friend
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: with your kids. I don't know.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people strive to have that relationship.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: It's good.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I have a daughter, so it's, you met her actually.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: So Maya is a lot different because she is, you know,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: she's not the type that wants to like cuddle and
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: snuggle and she's already horrified by me at her age.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Oh my God.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: That's a, a, a. something from growing up in Manhattan, right?
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: They grow up so much quicker than anywhere else. So
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: she just turned 11 and she's going on probably 18
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: or something.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: She totally is. She's so sweet though. And she got
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: a little shy when I met her, which was cute.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Because she- She was so excited you were coming.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. She's so sassy. I love her. She's awesome. I'm
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: sending her a little gift in the mail, by the way. Um, yeah, but, um, no,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: she's awesome, but she's so different than my kids. Like my,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: like my middle is almost the same age as her,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: but I'm like, he's really not, he's like seven and
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: she's literally like 18. I think it's the difference between
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: like country kids or like small town, Midwestern kids and
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: city kids. It is a lot different.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Well, and also girls and boys too.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: That is totally true. Girls I think are a little
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: bit faster than boys. So, um, you know, enjoy it
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: because when they turn on you, I don't think boys
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: turn on their moms as much as girls turn on
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: their moms, but No, I have a great relationship with Wyatt.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: As you know, I took her to the Taylor Swift
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: concert a couple of weeks ago. Yes. It was just
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: so fun. Like at my age, I would never want
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to go do anything with my mom, just me and her,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: me and my grandmother or whatever. To me, that would
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: sound horrifying.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Like now or then?
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Well, both.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: But back when I was her age, you know, it
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: wouldn't sound fun to just go do something with my mom.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: So she was all about it. We drove from New
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: York to, we took the Amtrak actually and went down
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to Philadelphia and Um, we met up with, you know,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: one of my friends that she has known for a
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: really long time and a girl who used to live
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: in New York. And, um, we had, we just literally
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: had the best time and we sat in these seats
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: and the best part about it, even though, to buy
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: tickets for that, it's like the amount of rent.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Crazy. I know, right? Yeah.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: It was crazy. But all that aside, it was so amazing.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not even like, I wouldn't have said I was
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: a Swifty or a Taylor Swift fan. I thought it
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: was so amazing, the energy in that stadium, everybody standing up,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: knowing every song, being so excited. And I filmed More
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: than the stage, I filmed my daughter and her reaction
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: because I thought it was just so cute how happy
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: she was. And she just had the best time. And
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: we had the best time. So it was a really
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: fun bonding moment. And I like spending this kind of
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: money on this.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Don't miss the USL Championship Final on CBS, November 21st
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: at noon Eastern. Will the Pittsburgh Riverhounds retain their crown?
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Or will a new title winner emerge? Don't miss the
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: conclusion to the 2026 season, Saturday. November 21st at noon
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Eastern on CBS.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: It's just like, I know it's like you're spending, like,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: it's like what you'd spend on a nice vacation somewhere,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: a once in a lifetime thing. I feel like, and yeah,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: that's so special. You guys got to share that.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And it's so funny because Wyatt went with her
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: friends back to Philadelphia this past weekend and went and
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: saw Ed Sheeran. And I thought what was crazy was
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the tickets were like 90 bucks or something.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I love Ed Sheeran. I know he's amazing.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, he is. People would think that he is like
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: so fun to see in concert, but she was like, oh,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: it was okay. It wasn't. And by the way, they
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: were in the second row on the floor and that
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: was $ 90 seat. So that's what I thought was pretty crazy.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: So did you know the words to sing along with
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the Taylor Swift songs and stuff?
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Surprisingly, I did.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: You did?
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Okay. That's awesome. And she's also a fantastic entertainer and performer.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've been to concerts like Celine Dion with
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: people that have like amazing voices and that's a different
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: kind of experience. I wouldn't say her voice is anything
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: like extraordinary, but her songs and her songwriting is extraordinary.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: And then the way she performs is really extraordinary. So
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I thought that was fantastic. And anyone that gets the
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: opportunity to go see her should definitely see her because
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: it really is worth it. And you will not think
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: of the money in a year from now. Yeah.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: No, totally agree.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Now, as I've gotten to know you, I have heard
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: you say sometimes in the evenings, okay, I'm going on
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: a date and that doesn't last very long. Tell me
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: about your dating history.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm divorced. I've been divorced for four years now.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: So the boy's dad is awesome. We're still good friends.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: We're good co-parents. We get along really well. But the
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: last couple of years, I've gotten back into the dating
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: world and it's so hard. It's so, I don't know.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: And how have you been meeting these men in Iowa?
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: So mostly... dating apps because I live in a really
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: small town too. I've gone on a couple like local dates,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: people I've met just through life, but the dating pool
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: is very small. And I saw some depressing stats lately
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: about like your chances of actually finding your person. And
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: it's like a fraction of a percent of a chance.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: So I'm like, how can that be? Yeah.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: People are talking about how hard it is to meet someone.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: no matter where they live. And I just interviewed Nick Ritchie,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, who's divorced and is looking,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: and he has a podcast called Facts, and he has
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a media conglomerate or whatever called Facts. And he interviews,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: he's really focused on Gen Z. And he was saying
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: how hard it is to even, and he's attracted to
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: that age as well, even though he's in his 40s.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: but he's like, it's really hard because they're a different
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: generation than we are. I mean, I'm 48. So you
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and I are pretty much the same and, um, they
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: want different things. They don't give a shit. They like,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: you know, they're not into, into it for long-term stuff.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I remember when I was in my twenties, I was
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: like working and having a cool job just to even
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: find the guy I wanted to be with. And then
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I figured once I found him, I would quit my job.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I would have a kid. I would be a homemaker.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: It's like people were interested in finding their person and
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: getting married back then more than anything. And now people like,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: don't give a shit. I don't think as much at
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that age. And then people our age are having a
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: really hard time finding anyone because it's like such quick
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: gratification and people will move on so quickly. Also at
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: our age, people have developed really weird patterns or idiosyncrasies
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: and it's hard to meet someone who's normal.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Quirkiness. Yeah. That's one thing. I mean, I've met people
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: who are like, yeah, like weird quirks, like too messy
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: for me or like too clingy or like I've had
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: a lot of bad dates and I feel like Like
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: I know right away. Do you know right away?
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I know right away.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: And remember we had Aliza Ben Shalom on who is
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the host of Jewish Matchmaker on Netflix.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Or Jewish Matchmaking. And she was really interesting because she
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: gave some really good advice about trying to give people
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: more of a chance than thinking that you know them
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: on the first date. But that is definitely my problem.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I'm either like … into it on the first date.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: And if I'm not, then I'm like, oh, forget it. I'm,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I'm like a total shredder about it. I'm like, I'm
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: not doing this anymore. And by the way, and we've
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: talked about this. I hate being on dates. It's so uncomfortable.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: You're sitting across from the person telling your life story
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: or trying to be funny. And you don't know if
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: you have salad in your teeth or whatever. You know
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying?
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Like you just can't do it.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: You just can't be yourself. And it's so uncomfortable.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. I know.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Pretend to listen to someone if you're not interested at all.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: And that can be so irritating. Or, you know, it's
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: just awful being with somebody that you don't know and
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: you don't feel comfortable with.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Totally. And that's why, like, I like how you usually
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: do it in your dating life. You talk to someone, like,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: over text or, you know, whatever, chat or whatever for
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: a while and get a good feel. And Aliza said, like,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: that's the way to do it. She was like, yeah,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: that's the best way to do it. And, like, so
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: before you're going into this date, you already know if you, like,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: are– attracted to their spirit kind of or not. Yeah.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I think that going on blind dates can be really
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: detrimental because you just literally don't know if you're about
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: to waste your time. And for me, I found that,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: you know, dating online or dating, you know, in a
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: blind dating pool where you can actually talk to the
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: person ahead of time makes it so great because then
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: you can see if you have chemistry unrelated to what
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: the person looks like, but chemistry of like, they give
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: good phone there.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: They're good with their timing. They're transparent. They're, responding to you.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: You know, they don't disappear. If somebody disappears on a
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: text message for two days, I'm like, forget it. This
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: guy's an idiot. Or if, or he's just not available. Or,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: you know, if somebody only texts me and they won't
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: pick up the phone and call, I also think that's strange.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Red flag, I think. Yeah. And maybe it's.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Not, but like, maybe they're just not good on the
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: phone or they hate the phone. But for me, I
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: want someone who's transparent enough that they pick up the phone,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: they call, they can banter. And I think that's really important.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I think so too. So with you, we decided at
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Misunderstood that we are going to do something backwards because
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: we've both found after having spoken so much about it,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: and then obviously knowing a bunch of friends who can't
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: find normal husbands or dates even online, that we are
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: making a huge announcement. It is.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: It's so huge. You want me to say it or
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: you want to say it? Oh, you say it. You
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: announce it. I'm too nervous.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Everybody, this is the biggest announcement we have so far
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: at our show. Kelly Brink is getting married.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I'm getting married. Yeah. I am getting married. Cheers. Cheers
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: to my wedding. You're going to be my maid of honor,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: by the way.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Oh my God.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited. I'm so excited.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: You get to pick out your dress and everything.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Okay. So everybody, we're going to explain what we mean
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: by this. So we've decided after having probably drunken conversations
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: or being on Ambien and just hallucinating, but we decided
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: to try something new and we want you to be
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: a part of this. So Kelly is getting married on
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: New Year's Eve, 2024. And we are going to do
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: this backwards. We are going to look for a husband
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: for her up until then, but we are going to
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: plan this wedding like it's really happening. And we need
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: you as listeners to get involved and help send us,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: you know, potential suitors, even if they don't live in Iowa,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: because she can move.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, I travel all the time for work. Like
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I'm gone. I feel like sometimes more than I'm home.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: So yeah, totally good with traveling. Geography has never scared me.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Like that's just, just a detail.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: So.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Exactly. So, and if it's the right person, wouldn't that
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: be great that this is the way we found him?
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. I'm totally on board. Yeah. Okay.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: So what we're going to do is we're going to
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: set up, are you on Bumble already?
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I'm on no dating apps right now. So I think
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: we should set up. Okay.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: So we're going to set up a Bumble account. You'll
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: be on Bumble. I think you should be on Seeking
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Arrangement also.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Because we got to try the two different types. So
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: type where you actually can like sign up like a
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: menu of what you want and the guy can be
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: like a billionaire and he could just rescue you or
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: you could just meet a normal guy on Bumble. But
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: you don't want to date someone that lives with their
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: mom and is like a fourth kid for you. You
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: need a nice man who wants to get involved and
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: be part of your family. And he could be blue
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: collar or he could be retired and a millionaire. It
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. But I think it's important to find
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: your one. So what is your criteria? What should we
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: be looking for?
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, you asked me this and I literally wrote a
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: list this long. I think, um, Aliza would be maybe
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: proud of me. I don't know. Maybe that's, maybe I'm
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: too picky. I don't know, but like, I don't want
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: to settle. I don't need to settle at this point.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: You know, I've done that before and I'm never doing
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: it again.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: So, um, by the way, for people that are just
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: listening and not watching, you're very pretty. You look much younger.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I'm horrendous. That's why.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: And you have amazing hair, by the way. And it's
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: all real.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: This is my real hair.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Which I think is phenomenal because no one has real
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: hair anymore.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, I have. I do clip-in extensions sometimes.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Don't miss the USL Championship Final on CBS. November 21st
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: at noon Eastern. Will the Pittsburgh Riverhounds retain their crown?
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Or will a new title winner emerge? Don't miss the
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: conclusion to the 2026 season. Saturday, November 21st. at noon
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Eastern on CBS.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I just like started getting too lazy and I've been
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: taking like major vitamins lately. So I think they're helping.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: So I don't know.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I'll, I'll send you a link.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Well, I can attest to the fact that it works.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Cause when I saw you in person, I was like,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Oh my God. And we went to a, a book
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: signing for judge Janine randomly and major hairstylist be lined
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: over to you to talk about your hair. So I
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: can attest.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: He was drunk.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: No, he wasn't.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: He was just being nice.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: He might have been drunk, but he wasn't, I don't think. Yeah.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: So go on.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: So what's your criteria? Well, okay. So it's going to
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: be- And everybody.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on. Everybody needs to listen up because
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: even though we're doing this online and going to look
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: on dating sites, if anyone has a suggestion of who
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: they want to put in the pot to potentially meet Kelly,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: this could be really fun. You guys should DM us.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: We're going to tell you later how to get in
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: touch with us, but like just, okay. So listen to
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: her criteria.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a whole email set up for it. If
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I remember, it's gettingmarriedatmisunderstoodpodcast.com.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: And misunderstood is spelled M-I-S-S.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Yes. We'll link to it. But yeah. My list is
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: going to be way different than what your list would be.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: You're going to be like, everyone has their own list.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: No, I know.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: No, no.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: There's so many. I mean, how do I narrow it
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: down to like five? I don't know.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: But first off, you're most important that you're probably not
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: finding right now. That really means like as a deal breaker.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Gosh, I don't know if I have like a deal breaker.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: I would assume you don't want them to be a
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: drug addict. You don't want them.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, no, I don't want that. I want a strong, confident,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I say sigma male. It's a term I never knew
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: until like the last few months, but it's like an
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: alpha male, but they're like, I even wrote down the definition,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: someone who's more introverted than an alpha male, but they're
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: like confident, determined, someone who has a clear sense of
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: purpose and direction and Holds strong to their convictions. Doesn't
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: let anyone walk all over them.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, I like this type of guy.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that's like what every woman actually is
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: attracted to. Yeah.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Because anti-personalities, I'm attracted to those, but a lot of
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: those turn out to be narcissists and they don't work out.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: So like personality, I think is number one. Someone who
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: loves the outdoors. That's really important to me.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: That would definitely not be on my list.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: I'm a big kayaker. I love camping and anything outdoors.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Or a wilderness man.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Like someone who's real comfortable, like building a fire
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: and setting up a tent. Okay.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: So we'll, we'll expand our search up into Alaska.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Yes. Yeah. I think there was like a
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: reality show or a calendar or something at one time,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: men of Alaska. Yeah. Something like that. There aren't very many.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I know that there's more men than women up there. So,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: and they're always looking. So we'll make sure to look for,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: maybe there's gotta be a, an online website for Alaskan men.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Ooh, but that's really important to me. I love that.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Like Lake life, you know, whatever. Um, someone who has
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: like a thirst for life is spontaneous, happy, well-adjusted doesn't
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: come with a ton of baggage because I feel like
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: I've mostly worked through all of mine and I don't
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: want to bring theirs into it. Someone who's like, yeah,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: I'll go on a road trip with you this weekend.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: That's totally unplanned. That's like, I want someone like that.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: I love funny, funny guys. Like we're talking like Jason Sudeikis,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Conan O'Brien, um, There's something about a funny guy.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I like a funny guy too. I like funny more
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: than I like attractive.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Same. Yeah.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I don't like guys that are too hot. That's annoying.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I think it's much better if they're manly and rugged looking.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I like that. But also funny. I think that's really important.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: So personality is biggest for me. Someone who's financially secure
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: and responsible because... you know, I've dated people before where
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I was always the one paying for all the fun
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: things we did. And like, I don't really, I don't
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: care how much money someone makes, as long as they
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: make their money, they pay their bills. They're good with
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: all of that. I don't want to always be paying
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: for everything. And cause I have three kids anyway.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, well, not to be crude, but nothing
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: dries up a pussy more than having to like, pay
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: someone's rent at the end of the month, or they're
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: always asking you for money. I mean, that's like literally
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: having a step kid or something. It is.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: No, but I agree. Like I went on a date
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: five months ago, probably now they brought the check and
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: they put it on this little tray thing and he
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: like pushed it my direction and I was like, and
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: I'm like, what? I mean, I don't expect him to
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: pay always, but like the fact that he did that,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: I was like, Really?
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I hope you did not go out with him again.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: I did. I went out with him several more times
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: because I was so desperate and he was really hot.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: I wasn't desperate. Okay. No, don't say that. No. He
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: was so hot. That doesn't matter to me. That's why
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: I only- He.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Sounds like a gigolo. He's probably going out on dates
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: so he can get free dinners and stuff.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Probably. And he was really dumb and just like total psycho,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: total psycho and a lot younger than me.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: So- Did he ever end up paying for anything?
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he paid for some stuff, but every time he did,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: he would like make mention of it a lot. He
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: was like, so I paid for the tickets to blah, blah, blah.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: And it costs this much. And I'm like, thanks. Okay.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: So yeah, he's out for sure. Do not ever recycle him.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no. And then a few other things, not many, sorry,
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: this is going on too long.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: No, this is important. If we're going to find the
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: husband for you, we need to know.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Someone who doesn't necessarily, if they're like younger than me,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: someone who doesn't want their own biological kids because the
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: bakery's closed, like I'm not having more. They can have
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: grown kids, whatever. I just want them to like love
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: and respect my kids and their relationship with their dad
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: and all of that. So like I should, that should
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: be number one really. But yeah.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Is it important whether or not they have kids at all?
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Like I won't date somebody that hasn't had kids.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: No, that's not important to me at all because like
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I've known some wonderful men who just never aspired to
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: have children of their own, but they're like amazing uncles.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: They have like nieces and nephews who they are super
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: involved with and stuff like that. So that's fine. The
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: main thing is like patience. They need to have patience and.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: some understanding of like what it's like to raise kids
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: a little bit. They don't need their own necessarily. I'm
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: fine if they don't, but like, I'm not going to
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: have more of my own. So, and I also like,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: if they have kids, I don't want them to be
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: similar ages because I feel like I don't want a
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: blended household where the kids are competing for attention or
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: feeling weird about that. That's really important to me too.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Okay. I would have said that you wanted that, but okay.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: I don't want that, which is probably an unpopular opinion.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: I just don't want to put that on them, I guess. Yeah.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: No, I get it. That's fine. Do you have an
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: age or a physical age? thing that you're looking for
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: that you're mostly attracted to?
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: I have literally no physical type. It's all personality, like
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: the funny, the spontaneous, that kind of stuff is really
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: what gets me. But I do like I love someone
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: with good hair. I love good hair. I don't know why,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: but like I.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Am super old.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, no, but I think a shaved head can
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: be good hair sometimes, too. Like some guys really rock
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: a shaved head. That's fine. Like someone with their own
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: sense of style, I guess, basically. I have a lot
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: of tattoos.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I was just going to say, what are your thoughts
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: on tattoos for men?
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I love tattoos. Love them. Obviously, it's not a deal breaker,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: but their attitude towards tattoos would be like they have
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: to be cool with them and they don't have to
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: have them, but I do love them.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: So like if you met a guy like Tommy Lee
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: who was just covered in tattoos, that's sexy.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, that would be like. Yes. Physically, I would... And
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: I love an artsy person. I love someone who loves
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: good music, knows good music. I'm really into music. That's
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: something I would love to have in common with a partner.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Someone who's affectionate. I was in a really long-term relationship
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: where it was very cold, sterile. There was no affection.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: And I'm a very... touch focused person. I'm very affectionate
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: and stuff. So like, I would love to have that
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: reciprocated and feel like someone likes that. So that's, you know,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: in a nutshell, that's it.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: And how tall are you?
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: I'm five. four, but I do like tall guys. Yeah.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Got it. And, and you like them big or skinny?
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: You said, I mean, I'm picturing like a tall, thin dude.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: European body. Which is not my type. So I'm just
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: curious what your type is. What are you attracted to?
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: You can be open to more things.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: I really love a good, I love a dad bod. Honestly,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: I like a man with something to hold on to
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: a little bit. Like a chubby guy. who is like
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: the life of the party and having so much fun
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: and funny is so much more attractive.
• 30:15

  Speaker 2: To me than like a supermodel looking guy who's like
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: doing that with his hair and stuff.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Like that yeah and is being chased by a bunch
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: of women yes Okay. So this is really exciting. This
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: gives me, I wrote all these things down as you
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: were telling me, because I'm going to, so what I
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: think is going to be fun, we're going to set
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: up some dating accounts for you and then I'm going
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: to manage it because you have a bad picker because
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: you haven't found anybody yet.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: So I think what would be fun is for me
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: to go through them and interview the people. Like, have
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: you seen a mirror has the mirror has two faces?
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: That's what it, yes, we should totally do that.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: So fun because sister and the mom, um, you know, take,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I forget the woman's name, but Barbara Streisand's character. And
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: they put her online and they interview all the guys
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: and they pick someone to take her out. And they
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: don't tell her until she's going out on the date that,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: you know, they found her on a, him on a
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: website and blah, blah, blah. But it works out and
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: they get married and they fall madly in love. So,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, with a bunch of things in between, but
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: maybe if I'm interviewing them, it would be more interesting
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: and have more opportunity for you to, to give them
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: a chance. But also I think like you're going to
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: come visit me here in Florida. We're going to go
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: out to bars. We're going to meet different people. We're
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: actually going to post all this stuff. We're going to
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: take our little camera with us. We might do, you know,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I might interview some people in person and then send
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: her on some like speed dates around the bar. How
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: much fun would that be?
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Oh my God. I love that idea. I'm seriously open
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: to anything. And I think an outside opinion, not my own,
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: because I do have a bad picker. I mean, I've
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: had a really bad picker. your perspective would be great.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And I think we all have bad pickers for ourselves,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: or a lot of us. I do too. So sometimes
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I need someone's help. Well, we should be doing this
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: with you. Well, let's do the experiment with you first.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Okay. I'll be the guinea pig. We'll see how it works. Okay.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Cool, cool, cool.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Anything else that's important to make note of?
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: That's pretty much it.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: And I can attest to the fact that Kelly is Obviously,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: by being pretty, we all can see that. But you're
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: also very sweet, very smart, can fit in anywhere. And
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: you have a good job. I do. So you have
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: a lot going for you. So literally any guy I
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: think would be into you. I think it's more about
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: whether or not you're into the guy.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you for all those kind words. I'm not
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: psycho or anything. I don't have anything– wrong with me
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: that I, I like that I know of or anything
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: like that. And, and I do, I'm still friends with
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of people I've dated in the past. It
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: just like, didn't work out as like anything romantic. We're
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: still friends. And I think that says a little bit about.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: A hundred percent. Yeah. I'm not friends with any of
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: my exes. So maybe that says something about my personality.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: No.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: We'll get into that another time.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: No, no. Well, you there, I wouldn't be friends with
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: them either.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: So we're going to get working on this. If you
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: guys have anyone to suggest for Kelly in the meantime,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: every time we have our happy hour, we are going
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: to talk about who she dated that week, what's gone
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: on in the process. But we have a year and
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: a half basically to find the right guy, find the venue,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: find the dress, find the flowers. Maybe we'll get some
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: sponsors for all this. And who's going to do the food?
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Who's going to do the alcohol? Which reminds me, Cause
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: we're going to start a segment. You tell them about
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: the segment.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Oh yes. So yeah, it's happy hour. We need to
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: like have good drinks, things like that. So we're going
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: to start a segment, you know, we're looking for sponsors
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: to hook us up with wine or spirits, different things, cocktails.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: We're going to have a segment where we make some
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: cocktails on the show. We're going to have a segment
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: called spit or swallow because you.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Know, it's happy hour.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We can get a little risque. So like if
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: it's a win or we'll swallow if it's a, if
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: we don't like it, we'll spit. So, yeah. So we're
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: going to have some fun segments coming up related to
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: happy hour and cocktails and things like that. And again,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: like if you guys have any sponsors in mind, or
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: if you are a winery or vineyard or like a,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: you know, a spirit company who wants to get in
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: on the action, go.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Ahead and contact us and send us each a bottle
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: of whatever you want us to drink. And we'll feature
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: it on our, show every Friday.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah. We've got so many fun segments coming up
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: in the show. This is just the beginning. So I'm
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: super excited.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: So let's talk a little bit really quickly about the
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: guests we've had on so far. So this week we
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: had Skylar Baylor, who is really interesting because he was
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: the first division one athlete. He was recruited for swimming
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: on the women's team He took a year off and
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: then started up his freshman year on the men's swimming
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: team because he had transitioned or come out during that time.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: And that was a really interesting interview. I think it's,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously LGBTQ and transgenders is a hot topic,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: but it's a touchy topic. A lot of people who
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: are not into it, you know, just like shy away
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: from it and would probably skip that episode. But I
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: actually think it was a great interview. I mean, as
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: you know, cause you were kind of sitting there listening,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: it was, almost hard for me to do the interview
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: because I didn't know if I would offend him. I
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: didn't know the questions I asked, if they were okay
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: or not, because the stuff that we know about transgenders
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: is just what we read and it's so controversial. And
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: so I didn't want to offend him. I really think
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: he's a great guy, but I just didn't know how
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: to ask the question. Do you know what I mean? Yeah.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: You did a great job. I mean, the key to
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: ending the stigma and the fear in it is education
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: and just talking about it. That's the first step and
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: you did an awesome job. And Skylar was like, that's
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: his job. Like he is an educator and an advocate
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: for the LGBT community, the trans community, all that. So
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: like he, anytime you were like, I don't really know
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: what to say here. He would be like, that's totally okay.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Here's what I would say or what I'd be good with.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: And like, I hope nobody skips this episode because like,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what your political beliefs are or your
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: personal or your you know, religious or anything like that.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. Like this is like a human episode.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: It's like somebody's story and their struggle. And we all
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: have been through struggles and like, he just had just
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: such a great time. Great inspirational story. And he's such
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: a positive person. We can all use more of that
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: for sure in our lives.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: And he's so well-spoken. I mean, he really gets to
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: the point and knows his facts. And then his story
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: is so interesting. So everything about him was interesting. So
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: I really liked that episode. And I want to encourage
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: people to listen to it, even if it's not something
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: they normally would. And then we had Kara Alloway come
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: out on Wednesday who used to be on Real Housewives
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: of Toronto. She has a new book out. She's so
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: fun and sweet and interesting. And that was just a
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: fun episode. So I really appreciate her. And I hope
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: everyone listens to that. I'm sure that's something everyone will
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: listen to just because all those topics are so hot
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: right now of everything on Bravo and the scandals. But
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: she really talks about what it was like to be
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: in reality TV and how she got the job and
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: why it ended and all that stuff. And so that
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: was a really cool interview. What are some interviews in
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: the past, maybe name one or two, that was your
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: favorite for people that are just sort of learning about
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: us that they can go back and listen to?
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: One of my top favorites was Kato Kaelin. With my
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: true crime background, I was so obsessed with the OJ
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Simpson case and everything. Like I remember where I was
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: when the white Bronco was barreling down the highway. I
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: was in my dad's den. Yeah. I was a senior
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: in high school about ready to go out. I remember
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: what I was wearing even. That's like how obsessed I
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: was with court TV and true crime. So having Cato
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Kaelin on telling his personal story about the, his involvement
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: in that was awesome to me. I loved that.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: And what a great guest. He's so fun. And then
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: I did his show and he's just like the nicest,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: most interesting guy who really has, you know, a narrative
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: has been written about him and he's just had to
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: become known as like the most famous house guest, but
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: he really His personality is like no other.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: He's so great.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: He's so funny and goofy. I love his humor, like
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: dad jokes for days. He was awesome.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: So was there another one that you liked too?
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Um, another one, well, you're probably going to agree with me.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: Lee Asher was great. Yeah. And I loved his story,
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: his backstory of how he like struggled with learning disabilities
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: and things like that, because my middle child is, you know,
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: on the spectrum and struggles with developmental delay and things
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: like that. And life has been hard for him. And
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: there were so many parallels with his story and Lee's.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: And I was like, wow, my kid can grow up
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: to do these amazing things. It was, yeah.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: And for people that don't know, his name might not
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: be so recognizable on our list of names, but he
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: has like over a million followers on Instagram. I think
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: he has three to 4 million on YouTube. And he
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: drove across country or, you know, and quit his job
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: and now has a animal sanctuary in Oregon. All right.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: And it's just one.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: Don't miss the USL championship final on CBS, November 21st
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: at noon Eastern. Will the Pittsburgh Riverhounds retain their crown
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: or will a new title winner emerge? Don't miss the
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: conclusion to the 2026 season, Saturday, November 21st at noon
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: Eastern on CBS.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Of the most inspirational guys because he shows the rescue
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: of these animals and how he takes them in, how
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: he either gets them adopted or lets them live with
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: him and becomes their protector for the rest of their lives.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: A lot of them have been abused, left on the
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: side of the road. Some of them have actual physical
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: ailments because of their abuse. It's really awful. But to
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: watch these, you know, episodes and then follow, uh, watch
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: his videos and then follow the story of these dogs.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Cause then you see this pack of dogs and you see,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: you know, Matilde and you see, you know, all these
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: different dogs that you become, you know, their name, how
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: they're doing it. So great. And he announced on our show,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: some breaking news for him that he's going to be
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: partnering up with a place where you can adopt animals.
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: We're going to, I think, put his name on it
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: and the Asher house. And that's something he normally hasn't
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: been doing a lot of. He was taking animals in
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: and not adopting them out, but now he's going to
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: start that. And I think he said that it's going
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: to drop middle of next year or something. Yes. Is
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: that what he said? And I'll have to watch the episode.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Again to listen to that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: But he is... like just such an interesting guy and
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: really inspirational. So that was, it was a two part episode.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: You definitely should listen to both parts. So I was
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: going to say for me, Lee was my favorite. And then. Um,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: one that hasn't come out yet that I'm really excited
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: about was Rudy Giuliani. He was on my bucket list for, um,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: someone to interview even before I started this podcast. He
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: and I share, um, you know, the tragedy of nine 11.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: He was part of it. He obviously knew people in it,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: but he became a hero that day. And I lost
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: my fiance that day. And I was working at Bloomberg news.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: My boss, Mike Bloomberg was, um, about to come in
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: as mayor. And Rudy was leaving the office as mayor.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: So it was a very interesting day. I ended up
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: buying a dog two days later, naming him Rudy Giuliani.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: So Rudy stayed in my life for 20 years or
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: 19 years. And he was like the one true man
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: I had in my life, my dog. So it was
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: really special for me to meet Rudy, to walk through
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: September 11th with him and And then also be able
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: to ask him some questions because obviously he's been in
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: the news a lot. I got to ask him some
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: questions about what he thought about New York, what he
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: thought about, you know, being misunderstood and, you know, being
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: accused of a lot of different things. So we got
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: to hear from his perspective. So I think that that's
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: a really interesting episode. And I'm looking forward to that.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: I'm also looking forward to Sarma from Bad Vegans. If
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: anyone hasn't seen Bad Vegan yet on Netflix, it's a
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: really interesting documentary about a woman who was an owner
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: of a vegan restaurant, a very famous celebrity hangout vegan
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: restaurant in Manhattan. And it ended up that she got
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: into a relationship and got married to this guy and
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: ended up funneling out almost $ 2 million of the company's money,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: wasn't able to pay people at her company and then
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: kind of looked like she was on the run with
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: this guy and ended up getting put in jail for
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: fraud and a bunch of other things. And now it
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: came on our show to tell her story, her side.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: So at the end of the documentary, you kind of
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: don't know whether or not she's a complete criminal and
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: she was in on it or if she just made
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: a really bad decision with men and she might have
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: been psychologically abused and what that means. So she came
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: on and really explained herself. And I actually really like
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: her as a person. So I was really happy to
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: have her. And we have some really interesting guests that
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: are on our books going forward that we're looking forward
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: to interviewing. And so I think everyone will be really
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: excited as this podcast grows. We're just getting in the
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: incoming phone call business of people that want to be
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: on the show and give their narrative from from themselves
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: as opposed to having somebody else reduce them to a
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: single headline. So I think it's really going to be interesting.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: That's what this show is all about. I mean, everyone's
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: got a story to tell and they want to tell you.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: I just love it. Yeah, we have a lot of
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: great guests coming up.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: And I think what people should be aware of too,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: because we're always open to hearing your thoughts and suggestions
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: of who you want to hear interviewed. It doesn't necessarily
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: have to be someone like that's a household name that's
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: super famous, like a Pamela Anderson or something. It could
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: be someone that or a topic that you really want
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: to know more about, like something that Kelly and I
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: are going to get involved with this in the next
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: month or so. We're doing an interview with somebody who
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: assists in deaths in the state of California. And I
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: don't know anything about that. I find it interesting. I
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: think the whole topic is misunderstood. Some people think it's suicide.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Some people think it's horrible. Some people think it's great.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: And I don't even know the details of it. So
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited to have this guest on and listen
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: to her speak about it and be educated on the topic.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited about that too. There are two certainties
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: in life. You're born and you die. And we don't
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: really know much about either of those things because, you know,
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: and I just think that's going to be an episode
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: that appeals to everyone just because it's so interesting. It's fascinating.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: And one thing I wanted to say about this show
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: that I'm so proud of and that I love about
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: you and that I love about the show is. There
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: are no political lines. There's no subject that we won't tackle.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if you're left, right, red, blue. We
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: just want to have the conversations about all of it,
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: just all of it. And I love that you're tackling
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: all of that.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think it's so important. My background is
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: I started at Bloomberg News. I was at CNBC before that.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: And I learned that good journalism is just the facts.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't put your opinion in on it. And I'm
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: somebody who, by definition, you know, nature or whatever is
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: inquisitive person. So I ask a million questions no matter what.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: So I try to put my, you know, everyone has
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: judgments about things or they think, you know, they have
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: their opinions, but I really, you know, I've taken guests
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: that I haven't been interested in because I don't like
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: their perspective. But, and some people have said, well, how
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: could you interview this person? You know, that's, why would you,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: listen to their side. But because I'm curious about their side,
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: you know, people don't understand why humans make the decisions
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: that they do. And I feel like I want to
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: get to the bottom of that so that I can
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: make my own decision as opposed to just reading about
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: who that person is. That happened to me that many people,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: you know, made the assumption of who I was, they
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: still do, just from reading about me in the press
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: or seeing things about me. And, you know, I realized
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: I have to tackle one person at a time by
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: meeting them in person. But when they meet me in person,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: I'm They're always like, oh my God, you're so much
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: different than who I thought you were. So I think
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: that's an important platform to give other people. So people
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: can also email or DM myself or Kelly with questions, suggestions.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: We also have an email address.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Info, misunderstoodpodcast at gmail.com. So I'll put it on the
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: screen and in the notes of the show. Yes.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, perfect. So normally I think one other segment we
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: would do is our happy hour headlines.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: The news, but we can maybe start that next week because,
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't want this to be too long
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: for people, but there's so many interesting stories that we
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: will capture, cover. And again, anything you guys suggest where
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: we would love to hear from you. By the way,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: which reminds me, it means so much to us when
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: you guys go in and write reviews and give us
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: five stars or if you hate it, you can give
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: us one star. But I would really appreciate it if
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: more people did that or tell people about the show
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: because obviously that's the way that we grow. So I
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: would love to make the request that when you are done,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: if you're watching on YouTube, if you like it, subscribe
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: to it, right? Or is that how you say it?
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Like, subscribe, rate, review, all the things.
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: All the things. They're super important. They're super helpful. We
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: read those things and we are really appreciative. So sometimes
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: I wish I could write back and I don't really
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: know how to do that, especially on the Apple reviews
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: or whatever, but like we get such good reviews from
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: people and they're really helpful and I love reading what
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: people have to say.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: So.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: So. The lightning round.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: Yes. So I want to do a lightning round because
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: you've talked to, too much about me so far. Let's
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: talk more about you.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take you off guard a little bit,
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: I think. So first question, what was your favorite subject
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: in school?
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: Music.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: Music. Really?
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: I was a really good singer. Yeah.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: Well, then you still are.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: I was, no, I'm horrible. I'm horrible now. And when
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: I sing, my daughter like literally runs in the other room,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: but I used to have a great voice. I was
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: the lead singer in my band called the Arcadians in
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: high school. And also I was a lead in our
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: eighth grade musical. You know, you have like a … Yeah.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: you know, a musical that everybody, I was in Iolanthe,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: which was a Gilbert and Sullivan and I was the
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: lead in it. So, and that by the way, got
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: me to go to school because there was a time
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: in my life in eighth grade where I wasn't so
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: happy in my life and my home life and in
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: the school life. And it got me to go to
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: school because they gave me the lead part and I
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: just loved music. So that's amazing.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: Oh my God. I didn't know that. Okay. Um, what's
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: your go-to comfort food?
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: Cereal.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Cereal. Is there any particular kind?
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: I love cereal. So right now I'm really into the
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: Special K with the strawberries in it. I love that.
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: It's so good. And then sometimes I mix pops in
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: it or like cinnamon life on top of it just
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: for a little mixture. And I'll put some like blueberries.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: Those are all great.
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: Okay. I love Fruity Pebbles.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Those are good.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: So if you had a million dollars to donate to
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: any charity, which charity would you donate to?
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: The Asher House.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: I knew you were going to say that.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for animals and I'm a sucker for Lee.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: Yes. Lee's great. Yeah. Hi, Lee.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: Hi, Lee.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: Describe your perfect meal, appetizer, entree, and dessert.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Oysters to start. Entree, steak tartare with a side of fries.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: Are you a dessert eater? Do you have a sweet tooth?
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: Not really. I do, but it's like gummy bears or something.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Nothing you can get at a restaurant. Yeah.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Once in a while, I'll like a really good like cobbler.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Like if they have a berry peach cobbler or something,
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: I could get into that. That's nice. Or like coffee
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: ice cream or something.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good. What's your favorite holiday?
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Christmas.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: What's the weirdest thing in your refrigerator right now?
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Clamato. Clamato. Do you know what that is?
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, I do.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: It's a clam juice and tomato juice mixed. I love it.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: It's so good. And this is even weirder. I stick
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: a hearts of palm in it.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: It's like a Virgin Bloody Mary, basically.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Sort of, yeah.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: So good. People should try it. And there's also one
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: called Beefamato, which is more rare, but it's really good.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: They're great to make Bloody Marys with, but they're also
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: good as just like an alternative to V8.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: If you could travel back to any time period, when
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: would it be?
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, I can already answer this.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: The 80s.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: I wish that the whole, every decade was the 80s.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: I love the 80s. I love the music. I love
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: the outfits. I love the big hair. I'm all about that.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: That's a great answer.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: I didn't like turtlenecks, but maybe that was like end
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: of 70s or 80s.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Turtlenecks kind of make you go like that.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the 80s were so fun.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: They were great, yeah. Morning person or night owl?
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: As I've gotten older, I'm not as much a night
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: owl like going out, but I'll stay up late. I
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: love my shows. So like I'll stay up late and
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: I'll watch the things that I'm into. I'm not someone
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: who will go to sleep early, but that doesn't mean
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: I go out late at night.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: And I've actually become a morning person, which is scary because,
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: you know, like we all hear like your grandparents get
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: up like at the crack of dawn or five or
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: six in the morning. I've been waking up at like
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: 536 in the morning and Yeah. And I'm wondering if
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: it's a sign of age, but also I've moved to
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Palm Beach and it's, you know, the sun comes out
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: early and I have dogs and they want to go outside.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: So I've been getting up earlier.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: I've noticed that by your text messages.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: No, I'm just kidding. What's one thing that most people
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: don't know about you?
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: That I have my master's in forensic investigation.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: I moved right after I got my license, but I
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: was going to stay there and work with the guy
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: who trained me or headed up the program. He had
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: a detective agency and I wanted to be an undercover
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: detective or whatever, a PI. And we would do for
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: our lesson plan or whatever, we would actually go and
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: do things with him. So it was really fun.
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: The true crime girl in me loves that. I love that.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: What's your most memorable travel experience?
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: My favorite place is going to Chiang Mai. I went
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: by myself. It's the northern part of Thailand, near the
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Golden Triangle. A lot of people don't know that area.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: If they go to Thailand, they're going to Bangkok or
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: they're going to Phuket down south. I loved going there.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: There's an elephant sanctuary in Chiang Rai, which is right
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: near there and driving distance. I stayed at the Four
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: Seasons there and Elephants are literally just roaming around that
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: they've saved from being in Bangkok. And then I was,
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: I went on like a three day trek on them
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: where they teach you how to climb up its trunk basically.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. And it commands to say to it
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: to get on its back and you like go in
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: the water with them and they. bathe themselves. You almost
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: think you're going to go all the way underneath because
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: they go underneath, but you're sitting on them. It was
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: so fantastic. It was like one of the best experiences.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: And I would love to go there again with somebody
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: in my life to like witness it with me because
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: I did it by myself. So I'm dying to get
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: back there. I think it's so amazing. Oh, and I
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: met like, I had a shaman that I worked with
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: every day. And I went to this place called Tao Garden.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: I wonder if it's even still there. It was like
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: a medicine place. They like take your blood out, they
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: spin it, they tell you what's wrong with you. They
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: put you in all these different scenarios and to make
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: you healthier, but they're kind of medicine. It was just
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: so cool. I loved it.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, and I, sorry, I got to tell you one
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: more thing. I studied with, I got a personal trainer
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: every morning who was a Muay Thai kickboxing instructor. And
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: he told me about his business or whatever. And so I,
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: because I was there for a week and a half,
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: I actually extended my trip, but I would go hang
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: out at his business. And then they had matches on
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Friday and Saturday night. So I would go with them.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: And this is how I met like the locals or
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: the people that had literally flown in from everywhere, from Germany,
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: Russia to come in. And I would watch their matches
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: and I would help like rub them down with the
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: oil and stuff so that if they got hit, they
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: wouldn't get hurt. It was so fun. And I got
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: so fit in the two weeks that I was there.
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: I bet you did. That's amazing. I love mixed martial arts.
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: That's so interesting to watch. It's so like such a
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: beautiful dance. I love that. So yeah. What's your current
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: TV binge?
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: Well, at the moment, Selling Sunset came out. So season three,
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: I guess it is. So I have been watching that.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: But my current binge over an arc of time right
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: now is Grey's Anatomy because I never watched it the
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: first time it was around. So now I'm convinced that
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: I'm like, as qualified as a surgeon or a doctor.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: So like I'm always trying to diagnose people, but I
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: feel like I'm fully invested in that show. I love it.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: And I'm almost caught up to where it is now,
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: I guess on live TV. So I'm getting very anxious
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: that it'll be, you know, the end of my run
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: with Grey's Anatomy, but I have really enjoyed that. And
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: actually it's really cute because I watch it with my
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: daughter and she, I just read her like graduation thing
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: because she's ending lower school right now and she's going
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: to start sixth grade next year. And what I didn't
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: know when she put it on her thing is that
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: she wants to be a surgeon because she has a
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: special connection with her mom and they watch Grey's Anatomy together.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: And now she wants to be a surgeon for a living.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: I thought that was so cute.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: That's so sweet. Oh, I love that. Oh, that's awesome.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: That show has been around forever. It's been going for
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: so long.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: And every season is like 26 episodes. It's crazy.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: It is crazy. That is all I have for you probably.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: So every week we'll have some new lightning round, whether
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: or not I ask you or we bring in our
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: tech guy Richard here and ask him, get him involved.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: We'll figure out what our lightning round will be. If
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: you guys have any questions for us, you can always
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: submit them. You might go through my phone and see
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: what celebrity needs to get a random prank call. Actually,
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: we think it's more fun when we have a fun
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: celebrity guest for them to prank someone. We should have
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: done that with Rudy Giuliani. We should have had him
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: call Ryan Seacrest, who's in my phone, or Derek Jeter.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: That would have been hysterical.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: That would be amazing. I don't know why. I just
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: love that kind of humor. I love prank calls. I
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: think they're the funniest thing ever. Well, I think we're
• 57:39
