3:22
Speaker 4: the success and obviously the fan base is just.
3:25
Speaker 1: Massive, massive.
3:25
Speaker 2: Were talking about the numbers before you came on, So
3:27
Speaker 2: one point nine to four billion minutes viewed basically makes
3:31
Speaker 2: it one of, if not the biggest show on television globally.
3:35
Speaker 2: Casually casual mc gil and Jim mentioned, you know, watching shoulders,
3:40
Speaker 2: but also there's there's the people that are diehard fans.
3:43
Speaker 2: There are those that consume all this on on social media,
3:46
Speaker 2: on TikTok and x and you know, Instagram after the fact.
3:50
Speaker 1: There's so much reach of this show. And you've been
3:53
Speaker 1: hosting now since twenty.
3:54
Speaker 5: Twenty four, correct, Yeah, since season six.
3:57
Speaker 2: Incredible and and just to see you know, the growth
4:00
Speaker 2: even from then to now, it's got to be pretty
4:02
Speaker 2: gratifying because you're really kind of you're the voice of
4:05
Speaker 2: the show and you get to take people on this
4:08
Speaker 2: journey tell us about not just the experience on being
4:11
Speaker 2: on the show, but also what that global impact has
4:13
Speaker 2: felt like these last couple of years.
4:15
Speaker 7: It's so cool. It's so amazing too. Sometimes I think
4:19
Speaker 7: season six it really blew up, and were in Fiji,
4:24
Speaker 7: so we're very disconnected from what's going on at home,
4:29
Speaker 7: and of course I'm on TikTok all the time, and
4:32
Speaker 7: I'd be scrolling and we would ask each other, you know,
4:36
Speaker 7: is this just our algorithm, because you know, we're in it,
4:40
Speaker 7: and the.
4:40
Speaker 5: Algorithm knows that this is our thing.
4:43
Speaker 7: And then we realized after getting the numbers back that
4:47
Speaker 7: it was just huge, and that season seven, same thing,
4:51
Speaker 7: even bigger, Season eight even bigger, which is really crazy
4:54
Speaker 7: to think because you almost feel like, how much.
4:57
Speaker 5: Bigger could it possibly get?
5:00
Speaker 7: But it's so cool because it feels like this online,
5:03
Speaker 7: like this community of people, and everyone's watching and tuning
5:06
Speaker 7: in every day and they're making these hilarious memes and
5:13
Speaker 7: edits and they're all so invested. And then you know,
5:17
Speaker 7: you'll be scrolling on TikTok and you'll see all these
5:19
Speaker 7: groups of people are going live and breaking down everything
5:22
Speaker 7: in the episode, and it's really really cool to be
5:26
Speaker 7: a fly on the wall and just see how people
5:29
Speaker 7: are responding to everything. And it's really kind of a
5:34
Speaker 7: nice pat on the back to see that response because
5:40
Speaker 7: the people who make this show are working so hard
5:44
Speaker 7: all the time, and it's it's lovely to see them
5:48
Speaker 7: kind of the fruits of their labors, so to speak.
5:51
Speaker 2: Really, speaking of that your first Primetime Emmy nomination, congratulations
6:00

6:03
Speaker 2: of on board it. But tell us about that when

Speaker 7: I was dead asleep in my hotel room in Fiji
6:13
Speaker 7: and my room phone started ringing and I don't know
6:17
Speaker 7: about you, guys, but I a I'm afraid of the
6:21
Speaker 7: phone in general.
6:22
Speaker 5: I'm a Texter.
6:22
Speaker 7: Please, when someone calls, I immediately assumed something very bad
6:27
Speaker 7: has happened.
6:27
Speaker 5: Yes, agreed.
6:28
Speaker 7: Yeah, And so it wasn't even my cell phone. It's

6:49
Speaker 7: a stupor, and it was my team and they had
6:52
Speaker 7: called the hotel and then said, can you please connect

7:02
Speaker 7: is absolutely you're out of your mind. And they had
7:04
Speaker 7: to convince them that I would actually want the call.
7:08
Speaker 7: So yeah, and then it was an amazing phone call
7:10
Speaker 7: to get because I think over here in the States,
7:13
Speaker 7: it was obviously a much different time of day.
7:16
Speaker 1: Yeah.

Speaker 2: So they couldn't reach you on your phone because it's

Speaker 4: one time.
7:40
Speaker 5: I do. I'm a user of do not disturb.
7:43
Speaker 4: The do not disturb thing doesn't work though, because all

8:14
Speaker 4: I want to know about the compound because it's it's
8:16
Speaker 4: it looks so elaborate, but at the same time, I'm
8:19
Speaker 4: so curious how like the inner workings.
8:20
Speaker 2: And just so you know, all right, no, no one
8:22
Speaker 2: actually watches this podcast, so you can talk about whatever.
8:24
Speaker 7: You want.

9:07
Speaker 7: lot cheaper over there because it's it's right there.
9:09
Speaker 1: Yeah.
9:11
Speaker 7: Yeah, Fiji is is really really beautiful. Obviously, we joke
9:16
Speaker 7: that I sleep in Soultize, and we've made this joke
9:19
Speaker 7: so many times that people online really believe it.
9:23
Speaker 5: And so when an islander.
9:25
Speaker 7: Goes to sleep and Soultize, they're like, but then where
9:27
Speaker 7: does Ariana go? Like, well, she goes to the hideaway.
9:30
Speaker 1: The hideaway, yeah, hide away.
9:31
Speaker 7: Yeah, but yeah, the compound is really amazing. It actually
9:36
Speaker 7: used to be it used to be a resort that
9:39
Speaker 7: The best way I can describe the vibe of it
9:42
Speaker 7: is like dirty dancing.
9:43
Speaker 1: Oh wow.
9:44
Speaker 7: So yeah, So it's about where I stay, like where
9:48
Speaker 7: the hotels are. It's about a forty five minute drive.
9:51
Speaker 7: And then you go over to the compound and you
9:55
Speaker 7: come in and all the different departments are there, so
9:58
Speaker 7: you have As you pull in, you'll see the art
10:00
Speaker 7: department is building a challenge, and down past that is
10:06
Speaker 7: all the post team is in there, you know, editing away.
10:10
Speaker 7: Then there's a control room that's there. There's catering which
10:14
Speaker 7: that does all of our food. No, it literally could
10:17
Speaker 7: be its own show because there's like hundreds of people.
10:20
Speaker 4: There the same time day, which is so much harder
10:24
Speaker 4: for the for the crew and for the staff, which
10:27
Speaker 4: is awesome.
10:28
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's one of those it's I think the rare
10:30
Speaker 7: thing of a show that is being filmed, edited and
10:35
Speaker 7: airing in real time.
10:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fascinating, and you're there the entire run of it.
10:40
Speaker 1: Correct.
10:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, I stay out there.
10:42
Speaker 7: There's always an offer like, oh, you know, you have
10:44
Speaker 7: a few days off this week, do you want to
10:46
Speaker 7: fly home? And I just think, like, I don't know,
10:49
Speaker 7: an eleven hour flight to then turn around and come back.
10:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I just stay.
10:54
Speaker 1: Like it's not the nicest location to stay in either, right.
10:57
Speaker 5: Yeah exactly.
11:00
Speaker 1: So how long do you how.
11:01
Speaker 4: Long do you pretty much stay on on site in Fiji?
11:04
Speaker 4: Like how many months or weeks are you there?
11:05
Speaker 7: I'm there for for eight weeks, so I'm there a
11:08
Speaker 7: little bit before the show starts, and then I'm usually
11:11
Speaker 7: there like a couple of days after to get all
11:13
Speaker 7: my stuff together and usually try to have one last.
11:17
Speaker 1: Hurrah yeah from it, like the start of a season.
11:19
Speaker 4: Do you ever have a gut feeling like these two
11:22

11:24
Speaker 4: gonna they're gonna you're gonna see it through or is
11:26
Speaker 4: it just you never know?
11:27
Speaker 7: Honestly, I feel like every time I've thought that I've
11:31
Speaker 7: been wrong, maybe.
11:33
Speaker 1: Placing bets or there's like an also a casino with this, Oh.

11:52
Speaker 4: a live show. They said, hey, I just we have
11:55
Speaker 4: to do this for legalities. The producers down said they
11:58
Speaker 4: weren't saying you can't. They're like, please don't bet on
12:00
Speaker 4: things like you can't.
12:02
Speaker 7: When I thought about it, I was like, I do
12:05
Speaker 7: know what happens about a day in advance.

Speaker 2: totally uh this world coming off of Dancing with Stars,
12:29
Speaker 2: where you you placed third, which is incredible. It looks
12:33
Speaker 2: so difficult I would I would fail be out in
12:36
Speaker 2: the first week or two.
12:37
Speaker 1: That experience coming out of that was.
12:40
Speaker 2: Was it soon after around that time that you got

12:59
Speaker 7: And then it was actually during my first Broadway run
13:05
Speaker 7: in Chicago. It was around like January or February when
13:10
Speaker 7: I think I was in the I had to go
13:13
Speaker 7: into the stage manager's office maybe mid show to get

13:23
Speaker 7: you know, for me as a Love Island fans, kind
13:26

Speaker 4: And it's so cool because we are massive sandwich fans.
14:01
Speaker 4: Do you have a sandwich spot in Los Angeles? Yes,
14:05
Speaker 4: please take us through how did that start? But also
14:07
Speaker 4: we should let you know we are currently in Dallas, Texas,
14:10
Speaker 4: but we do have your sandwiches here.
14:12
Speaker 5: We flew them in.
14:13
Speaker 1: We flew them in and we made.
14:14
Speaker 4: Sure they were preserved perfectly, so we can try your
14:17
Speaker 4: sandwiches the whole.
14:21
Speaker 1: Of We looked at the menu and there's no Ariana
14:24
Speaker 1: on the menu.
14:27
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I have a bit of a
14:29
Speaker 2: bone to pick with you. It's all so good okay,
14:32
Speaker 2: and that is that I have dreamed of opening a
14:34
Speaker 2: sandwich shop for my entire life. We grew up in
14:36
Speaker 2: New Jersey, which is known for good Deli's Monadello, and
14:42
Speaker 2: my first ever job was it's probably illegal, but the
14:45
Speaker 2: guy that owned it was a family friend. He let
14:46
Speaker 2: me stalk the shelves. Was when he was three years
14:49
Speaker 2: when I was like three or four. I was in
14:51
Speaker 2: sixth but I've never actually taken it seriously. When I
14:54
Speaker 2: when I found out that you have this this sandwich
14:56
Speaker 2: shop in la uh something about her it's called go
15:00
Speaker 2: check it out?
15:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes please, I was.
15:02
Speaker 2: Very jealous, and so I'm excited to try one of these.
15:05
Speaker 2: But give us the backstory. First of all, where are
15:08
Speaker 2: you from and is that an influence on your desire
15:10
Speaker 2: to have a sandwich shop or not.
15:13
Speaker 7: I'm from Florida and my mom is probably the best
15:18
Speaker 7: cook slash sandwich maker I've ever met. And I think
15:22
Speaker 7: that my love for eating sandwiches is definitely something that
15:26
Speaker 7: motivated me to be a part of this business. One
15:30
Speaker 7: of my dear, dear friends, Katie Maloney, had this dream
15:34
Speaker 7: and she really wanted to make it happen, and I thought, Wow,
15:39
Speaker 7: we're so aligned in our vision for what this could be,
15:43
Speaker 7: and so I was really excited to jump in and
15:45
Speaker 7: do it with her. And we've had such a blast.
15:48
Speaker 7: I mean, listen, I totally support your sandwich shop journey.
15:52

Speaker 1: I'm between two.
16:14
Speaker 2: I'd like I'd like your opinion because you're a successful
16:16
Speaker 2: samwich shop owner and I'm not. The two options are
16:19
Speaker 2: as follows uh Saint Nick's that worked?
16:23
Speaker 4: That works?
16:26
Speaker 1: Or Big Nicks, thank you, Joe.
16:31
Speaker 6: Not.
16:31
Speaker 5: Something about him across the street rivalry.
16:37
Speaker 1: That could be.
16:37
Speaker 2: It could be like a like an interesting this sounds
16:40
Speaker 2: like the setup of.
16:41
Speaker 3: A hot new bombshell.
16:45
Speaker 2: Something about him listen. The log line to a fantastic
16:50
Speaker 2: rom com starring starring Nick Jonas and Rio Maddox could
16:55
Speaker 2: be I say that genius speak of you're acting Broadway.
17:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, incredible. Well she's nominated for the Emmy now which
17:03
Speaker 1: she'll win, and then when she.
17:04
Speaker 5: Does so, halfway there to that you got.
17:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, my journey started on Brow as a kid and
17:14
Speaker 2: Joe uh did show as a kid, and it's it's
17:17
Speaker 2: a big love of ours as a family. Musical theater Yeah, Chicago,
17:21
Speaker 2: I mean classic, iconic, Yes, and an important show in
17:27
Speaker 2: the sort of the history of of the Broadway as
17:30
Speaker 2: a whole. What an incredible journey that must have been
17:33
Speaker 2: eight shows a week, though, is a grind. You did
17:36
Speaker 2: musical theater in college, obviously, and I'm sure you have
17:39
Speaker 2: a deep love for it, but but actually doing it,
17:42
Speaker 2: what was your experience like And what's the next role
17:44
Speaker 2: you want to do?
17:45
Speaker 6: Oh?
17:45
Speaker 7: My gosh, any and all the roles please, it's so
17:50
Speaker 7: much fun. It's it is a grind. It does become
17:53
Speaker 7: a bit of a different thing. But it's one of
17:56
Speaker 7: those what was it Taylor Swift or somebody who said
17:59
Speaker 7: something like, you know, it's hard, but it's not hard
18:04
Speaker 7: at the same time because you love it and every
18:07
Speaker 7: night I feel like when you hear the orchestra playing,
18:10
Speaker 7: you just get this surge of energy and there's just
18:13
Speaker 7: there's nothing like it. And the eight shows a week.
18:15
Speaker 7: I mean, it becomes it is your whole life. And
18:20
Speaker 7: one thing that I definitely struggled with is when people,
18:22
Speaker 7: you know, when other things would come in and they
18:25
Speaker 7: would want me to do other little, you know, jobs
18:31
Speaker 7: and things throughout the run. I was I was trying
18:33
Speaker 7: to it's you have to be so focused. You can't
18:36
Speaker 7: there's nothing outside of just doing that show eight days
18:39
Speaker 7: a week. But at the same time, it's kind of
18:41
Speaker 7: the best place to be in which I'm sure you
18:45
Speaker 7: know you guys love it.
18:46
Speaker 5: I mean I just.
18:49
Speaker 7: Was watching the show Nick that you just did. What
18:55
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, yes, thank you. I love that show,
18:58
Speaker 7: so congrats. That's like literally one of my favorite shows.
19:02
Speaker 2: Same yeah, and it was a grind. I mean, I
19:04
Speaker 2: loved going back and doing it. My co star was amazing.
19:07
Speaker 2: But the prices that you have to take, you said, locked.
19:11
Speaker 4: You really can't, like you said Ariona, like getting calls
19:13
Speaker 4: and you're of course, your team's calling you mid show
19:16
Speaker 4: and they're saying, hey, we got this nice opportunity or
19:19
Speaker 4: payday here do you want to take You know, you'd
19:22
Speaker 4: have to leave early. But it's like there's there's something
19:26
Speaker 4: amazing to put yourself through that challenge. I remember we
19:28
Speaker 4: had long conversations with me and Nick about this when
19:31
Speaker 4: he was in the last five years, because there was
19:34
Speaker 4: even just to fill up a venue size like that.
19:37
Speaker 4: For avid theater lovers or people that just are walking
19:40
Speaker 4: around New York City and they're seeing they're like, maybe
19:43
Speaker 4: we should just get dinner instead, that happens. And so
19:46
Speaker 4: to people that go and show up, it's incredible. So
19:49
Speaker 4: obviously shout out to the theater fans or new fans
19:51
Speaker 4: out there, but I think it's it's it's It can
19:53
Speaker 4: be a grind, but I think the reward of like
19:56
Speaker 4: putting yourself to something through that physically and emotionally each
19:59
Speaker 4: night having to put on that mindset is like, hats
20:02
Speaker 4: off to you. It's my favorite question to ask someone
20:04
Speaker 4: that loves musical theater, what is your favorite show?
20:07
Speaker 1: So, what's your favorite What's your favorite Broadway show?
20:11
Speaker 7: I have such a big place in my heart for
20:14
Speaker 7: Once on This Island. Okay, it was a show I
20:18
Speaker 7: first became familiar with in high school. Yeah, and then
20:21
Speaker 7: I went and saw it when it was in the
20:23
Speaker 7: round in New York a few years ago, and it
20:26
Speaker 7: still remains to be one of my favorite shows.
20:28
Speaker 2: I didn't get the chance to see that production, but
20:30
Speaker 2: it looked incredible. There's a clip going viral right now
20:32
Speaker 2: actually of Zendeia in a production of Once of A's
20:35
Speaker 2: Island way back.
20:36
Speaker 5: Wait, was she like little baby t Moon? I think so, yeah,
20:39
Speaker 5: that's of course, you guys heard of Zindia.
20:43
Speaker 1: Goes big Summer. I think she's summer.
20:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, I have some fan questions from one of
20:50
Speaker 4: the fan questions of one of our very good friends,
20:53
Speaker 4: and I think you know her, but Tanya Rat has
20:55
Speaker 4: written us in and she needs to get some questions
20:59
Speaker 4: off her chest.
20:59
Speaker 1: Here.
20:59
Speaker 4: On a scale of one to ten, how shocked were
21:01
Speaker 4: you by the Nick and or Landia split news?
21:05
Speaker 7: Nick and Orlandria, Yeah, I love both of them as individuals,
21:08
Speaker 7: and I loved them as a couple. I think every listen,
21:13
Speaker 7: people break up and that's just the nature of life, right,
21:16
Speaker 7: And I think that everything that I mean. They haven't
21:20
Speaker 7: really talked a lot about it, so it's hard to
21:22
Speaker 7: know how either of them really is feeling right now.
21:25
Speaker 7: But I, you know, I just hope that they're okay
21:27
Speaker 7: and that they're both doing well, got it, and they
21:29
Speaker 7: both continue to just kill it.
21:31
Speaker 2: Well said, my wife was a massive fan of the show.
21:34
Speaker 2: Didn't have a chance to say that before. We said
21:35
Speaker 2: it before you came on. She's a massive fan. It's
21:37
Speaker 2: her favorite show on TV, no way, and we got
21:40
Speaker 2: the chance. We were on the red carpet for the
21:42
Speaker 2: Golden Globes. It was I'm not exaggerating. It was at
21:45
Speaker 2: least one hundred plus one hundred and two degrees inside
21:49
Speaker 2: this like thing that they build because they were expecting
21:51
Speaker 2: it to be cold in La during that time in January.
21:54
Speaker 2: Fabrue whatever it was, but it was so hot.
21:56
Speaker 7: It was hot.
21:56
Speaker 2: And anyway, Lendria was right behind us and the line
22:00
Speaker 2: and to go in the red carpet, and Prianca freaked out,
22:03
Speaker 2: was very excited, and she was very nice and a
22:07
Speaker 2: lovely conversation. So shout out Belindra for being so kind
22:11
Speaker 2: to big fans here and.
22:12
Speaker 5: That she's amazing.
22:14
Speaker 1: It's amazing.
22:15
Speaker 7: I love.
22:16
Speaker 5: Okay, next question, Yeah, what do you got?
22:19
Speaker 4: This is from Tanya as well, which I think is
22:21
Speaker 4: pretty hilarious. Does it annoy you that you have to
22:24
Speaker 4: bring Andy Cohen along to co host The Love of
22:27
Speaker 4: Island Reunions because you can totally handle it by your own.
22:30
Speaker 4: She says one hundred percent. So does that annoy you?
22:32
Speaker 4: You know, we all know Andy, we love him.
22:34
Speaker 7: We love him. I appreciate her saying that that I
22:38
Speaker 7: could do it myself. I definitely appreciate that, but I
22:41
Speaker 7: have such a fun time doing it with Andy, so
22:44
Speaker 7: does not annoy me. And I also feel like it's
22:47
Speaker 7: nice to have. I don't know, I just think we
22:49
Speaker 7: bounce off of each other really well. And I've known
22:51
Speaker 7: him for so long that I just I don't know.
22:54
Speaker 7: I like having him there. It's nice, and he has
22:57
Speaker 7: great things to say, like great input too.
22:59
Speaker 5: Yes, you know what he's.
23:00
Speaker 2: Doing, he's great and if you're watching, he's great at TV.
23:03
Speaker 8: He just gets it's just fun. It makes it makes
23:08
Speaker 8: a spicy question, like so casual fun, but yeah, it's great,
23:14
Speaker 8: pert playful.
23:14
Speaker 2: Okay, this one's from Kendall. She says, do you watch
23:16
Speaker 2: the Valley and do you have any pomo?
23:18
Speaker 5: I don't watch the Valley, So that's.
23:23
Speaker 1: About that, yeah, Kendall.
23:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, Kendall.
23:32
Speaker 1: Living her best life.
23:33
Speaker 5: Take fomo somewhere else.
23:34
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm more of a joemo person, joy of missing
23:39
Speaker 7: out person.
23:41
Speaker 1: I've never heard that, and I think that's incredible.
23:44
Speaker 2: Oh my god, we'll use that m I feel that
23:47
Speaker 2: way sometimes, yeah, because you know, I'm a recovering fomo person.
23:54
Speaker 2: But as as I get older, but as I get older,
23:57
Speaker 2: I prefer to sit on my couch and and go
23:59
Speaker 2: have fun. Do you guys, go do your thing. I'm
24:01
Speaker 2: good here, Yeah, I'm good, right, fine, I'm good. I
24:04
Speaker 2: have a question for you. This is another fan question.
24:07
Speaker 2: You spend potentially around eight weeks a year in Fiji,
24:11
Speaker 2: one of the most beautiful places none of us have
24:13
Speaker 2: ever been. Where's a place in the world if they
24:16
Speaker 2: change the location that you'd like to see Love Island,
24:20
Speaker 2: go and you could work from for eight weeks.
24:22
Speaker 5: Ooh okay.
24:24
Speaker 7: Part of me wants to say somewhere I've never been,
24:26
Speaker 7: so that I can then be yeah, working like paid
24:30
Speaker 7: to work somewhere I've never been, totally. The other part
24:33
Speaker 7: of me wants to say somewhere I've been because I
24:35
Speaker 7: know that it's going to be great, because there's the
24:38
Speaker 7: fear of the unknown that let's do.
24:40
Speaker 5: So let's do both.
24:42
Speaker 7: I think it would be really fun to shoot somewhere
24:46
Speaker 7: in like tropical like maybe like Porta Iarta.
24:49
Speaker 1: It would be cool, nice, that's great, beautiful.
24:52
Speaker 7: And then somewhere I've never been that would be really
24:54
Speaker 7: cool to shoot, and would be Brazil.
24:57
Speaker 2: Oh, Brazil is tight, great answer. And where's the last
25:01
Speaker 2: place on our suit wall?
25:02
Speaker 5: Shoot Alaska?
25:06
Speaker 1: Alaska?
25:07
Speaker 5: I don't want to be cold. That'd be a tricky season.
25:10
Speaker 5: It would be tough, a lot more sure clothing on
25:13
Speaker 5: people like fur bikinis.
25:15
Speaker 7: Maybe, oh, make it worse hot tough bikinis.
25:19
Speaker 5: Okay, kinis.
25:21
Speaker 2: We have our bowl of questions here, and these are
25:25
Speaker 2: unrelated to anything in your life or career.
25:28
Speaker 1: These are just random questions that we'd like to They're
25:31
Speaker 1: going to say they're lit to ourker, you just got
25:35
Speaker 1: to know answer. They're just the most random questions.
25:39
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, cool is.
25:41
Speaker 1: All of Island related? For some reason, it makes sense?
25:44
Speaker 2: Okay, do you remember names easily or are you the
25:46
Speaker 2: type of person who forgets them five seconds after hearing them.
25:50
Speaker 5: I'm one or the other.
25:51
Speaker 7: There will be people whose names, birthdays, phone numbers I
25:55
Speaker 7: remember from now, right now, from twenty thirty years ago.
26:00
Speaker 7: And then there will be someone I've met, maybe last week,
26:03
Speaker 7: that it makes no sense for me to have forgotten
26:06
Speaker 7: their name, but I have to be.
26:07
Speaker 5: Reminded of what that person's name is.
26:09
Speaker 7: But if I meet and hang out with someone, I
26:11
Speaker 7: usually will remember their name.
26:13
Speaker 5: So good.
26:14
Speaker 1: This is Joe and this is Kevin.
26:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, got it confused, Thanks Joe, thanks for that
26:22
Speaker 2: welcome Okay, please go.
26:24
Speaker 4: Question this was weird, but it's a good one. How
26:27
Speaker 4: often do you wash your towels and sheets? No, we're
26:31
Speaker 4: supposed to ask, I just picked this question.
26:38
Speaker 5: No, I listen. I washed my sheets.
26:42
Speaker 7: Probably every two like three days.
26:47
Speaker 1: It depends on the answer. Great answer, correct answer, correct.
26:54
Speaker 7: My towels, It depends on if I use how like
26:57
Speaker 7: it's about it, it's usage, right.
26:59
Speaker 1: So the spray tan was like you know that.
27:03
Speaker 5: See that's definitely part of it.
27:08
Speaker 4: And I know what it does to sheets and towels.
27:10
Speaker 4: So a spray tan just one last multiple. What's your
27:15
Speaker 4: go to fast food order?
27:17
Speaker 6: Oh?
27:17
Speaker 1: Nice?
27:19
Speaker 5: I like Taco Bell hell yeah.
27:21
Speaker 7: And Taco Bell crunch Wrap Supreme at Jalapenos.
27:27
Speaker 1: I loved it.
27:27
Speaker 5: We love it.
27:28
Speaker 7: You know.
27:28
Speaker 2: I was thinking about the other day. It's been a
27:30
Speaker 2: long time since I had this. I was like, man,
27:32
Speaker 2: that was that was a moment. I don't know if
27:33
Speaker 2: you guys remember the the popcorn chicken that came in
27:37
Speaker 2: the literal popcorn thinking CAFC.
27:40
Speaker 1: Remember that, think about every day? It was so good popcorn.
27:44
Speaker 5: Chicken over Popeyes.
27:48
Speaker 2: Oh, Popeyes, Popeyes, I think wins for me. But now
27:51
Speaker 2: raising canes is raising its hand as well. We also
27:58
Speaker 2: have a voice mail. We get voicemails that that sometimes
28:01
Speaker 2: are from anonymous people. This one's from an anonymous user. So,
28:03
Speaker 2: I mean, it's going to be spicy, me spicy.
28:05
Speaker 4: They don't want to and we give unsolicit advice that
28:08
Speaker 4: we're not technically should be giving. Yeah, So and you're
28:12
Speaker 4: with us on this now, okay play it.
28:18
Speaker 9: Hello, I'm calling for some advice with my best friend.
28:23
Speaker 6: She is stating a guy that I just don't love.
28:27
Speaker 9: He's not the worst person in the world, but I
28:29
Speaker 9: just he just definitely is not the type of person
28:32
Speaker 9: that she has told me that she really wants to
28:35
Speaker 9: be with. And he is in a band, so you
28:39
Speaker 9: guys kind of have some knowledge of that. I feel
28:42
Speaker 9: like the only reason she likes him is because he's
28:44
Speaker 9: in a band and.
28:45
Speaker 5: Really things that's good about him.
28:49
Speaker 9: It's just about his music.
28:52
Speaker 6: And not to say being in a band is bad,
28:55
Speaker 6: but there's really not much else he has going for him,
28:58
Speaker 6: and he's been with him about you now and we're
29:00
Speaker 6: twenty seven, so I think she feels like block a ticket.
29:04
Speaker 5: I better just like find the person.
29:06
Speaker 6: Now and it'll be whoever it is.
29:08
Speaker 9: But I just wanted some advice on if how and
29:12
Speaker 9: if me and my friend should bring up maybe if
29:16
Speaker 9: this isn't the right one, So thank you.
29:20
Speaker 4: Ooh, this seems more like they're unhappy with the friends
29:24
Speaker 4: and only the guy's music, so going on for.
29:28
Speaker 5: Him, Yeah, what kind of music is it?
29:30
Speaker 9: Yeah?
29:30
Speaker 5: Exactly. He's like he's got this.
29:32
Speaker 4: Thing he really like, is trying hard to like, you know,
29:35
Speaker 4: finds a career path. But that's not why she doesn't
29:38
Speaker 4: like it. No, she doesn't like him because she's like,
29:39
Speaker 4: it doesn't seem like I hope it's a really famous musician.
29:44
Speaker 4: Do you think she would be?
29:45
Speaker 2: I hope it's like somebody really famous in a big band,
29:48
Speaker 2: and she's like he just kind of sucks, like she
29:50
Speaker 2: doesn't like the band at all.
29:52
Speaker 5: Like it's like the weekend he thinks, he's.
29:55
Speaker 1: Like it's bono. He says he has to go on tour.
29:58
Speaker 1: I don't know.
29:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean if if she doesn't like him because
30:03
Speaker 4: she doesn't think he's a good person. You should not
30:05
Speaker 4: wait any time, you should talk to your friend.
30:08
Speaker 7: I feel like there we're not getting a lot of
30:09
Speaker 7: reasons why she doesn't like him. Aside from that, she
30:14
Speaker 7: said she doesn't think her friend wants to be with
30:17
Speaker 7: somebody in a band or something. Right.
30:19
Speaker 4: She said that he's not doesn't have a lot going
30:21
Speaker 4: on for him other than being in the band.
30:23
Speaker 1: But she thinks music cames super famous.
30:26
Speaker 4: Does she have the same conversation then, because then he's
30:29
Speaker 4: like doing really well, But then that means more people
30:31
Speaker 4: are going to hear this shitty music that she's maybe
30:33
Speaker 4: she obviously doesn't like his music.
30:35
Speaker 1: That's the only reason she doesn't like him.
30:38
Speaker 5: Is really nice, But he's really nice.
30:41
Speaker 1: He just happens to be in a band.
30:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, controversial hot take I'll throw in there as a
30:45
Speaker 2: maybe is that maybe she got out of the vand
30:48
Speaker 2: maybe she's like feeling sort of friend jealous.
30:51
Speaker 1: That could be a too.
30:52
Speaker 2: She's maybe her friend is actually really into this guy,
30:55
Speaker 2: spending more time with him, and she's just like this sucks,
30:59
Speaker 2: Like my friend, your friends dating somebody who just has
31:01
Speaker 2: like a he's like really passionate about Oh our signs falling?
31:05
Speaker 5: Oh wow, it's a sign.
31:08
Speaker 1: Let her be with the guy.
31:12
Speaker 5: The guy.
31:14
Speaker 4: Don't say anything, Do not say anything. This is like obsession.
31:19
Speaker 4: Don't say anything.
31:21
Speaker 2: I think that's probably a good place to live. You know,
31:24
Speaker 2: this has been so much fun. Thank you for delicious,
31:27
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, and thanks for the great conversation.
31:30
Speaker 2: You're awesome. Congrats on your Emmy nomination.
31:33
Speaker 5: Thank you. Enjoy and we are gonna love. We're gonna
31:39
Speaker 5: eat all of them right now. What was Hollywood? Next
31:43

Speaker 10: In town, you'll be seeing us across the street. That's
31:47
Speaker 10: something about exactly dun dum Spike shop across the street. Yeah,
