  Speaker 2: hear we're going to play a little game.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we are.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: But before we play a game, we had a few
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: more burning questions. Right, what was your perspective when we
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: first started meeting? I mean, you know you also, I
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: think we should really ask her about this. But but
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: that's a really funny.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: St She's like, I got a different story.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, do you want to talk about why you
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: fell in love with my dad first?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: So if you've seen like his interviews, you know he's
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: talked a little bit about this. But when Wilmer reached
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: out to me, he had you know, we were just
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: talking and chatting and he had said something in Spanish,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: and I replied back, oh, you know, I know, I
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: look like I'm just a white girl, but I'm actually
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: my and I know Spanish, like I can understand what
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: you're saying. And then he's like, oh, well, in that case,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: he starts sending me messages in Spanish, and I'm like,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: I can understand it, and so I instantly like hit
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: up my dad and I remember this all like so clearly.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: It's crazy, how vividly, like every piece of this story is.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: I was like literally lying in my bed. I was
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: like off work that day, and I hit up my
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: dad and I was like, Dad, you know, and I'm
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: telling him everything that's going on, and I'm telling him like, oh,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I have to respond to this message because I told
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: this guy that I spoke Spanish and I was fluent,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: and now I don't know what to say.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: And so he's like, Okay, well, shoot, what are you saying?
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: So I tell him what he said and he starts
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: laughing and he's just responds right. So I repeat it
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: back to my dad. I'm like, sounds good, Like do
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: I sound good? He's like, yeah, great, send it. Send
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: the message. Boom sends me one immediately after. I was like,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: so then I have to like I'm like still on
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the phone with my dad. Meanwhile, my dad is like working,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: he's trucking, driving on the road, and so I'm like, ah,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: he messaged me back already, and so I'm like, this
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: is what he said. This goes on for a while,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: back and forth we're talking. Then he sends me voice
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: message and I'm like, oh, so then so then it's like,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: you know, it's like next level has to speak it. Yeah,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: and it gets worse because eventually we have to meet
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: in person and so so yeah, so that goes on
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: and then yeah, we ended up meeting in person.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, wait, did you answer the voicemail?
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah?

  Speaker 3: I'm on the phone with my dad like as I'm
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: driving there, and I'm like, oh my god, I see him.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: And we were joking that I was going to need
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: like an earpiece because I was like yeah, and then
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: uh but yeah, I mean he realized quickly that I was.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Actually not speaking Spanish to me.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's like, so who was who was that?
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: And then then your dad and I was like, wow,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: so maybe maybe he should.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Come to Yeah, should come to coffee, because so interested,
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: but there's there's sense of humor, was so alike and
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: so and then I met her dad and I was like,
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: this is my guy.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: So he's he's such a great friend to me and
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: and such a beautiful member of her family and it's
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: just it's just so fun. But anyway, so his father,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: his father, her father made it, you know, like such
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: a great entry point. I was like, oh, I love
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: for him to meet my father. And then it was magical.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: My dad is like my dad is like a party
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: in a small little kitchen. Like he just likes to
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: cook and hosts people and all that. And as soon
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: as Armando and my dad met, it was like instant
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: compared instant compa I can see that. Oh my god,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: they laugh all the time. My dad cooks him dinner
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: every night. It's like the whole thing. But he just
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: became such a strong and important member of our family.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: And then you know, we made this decision that like,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: you know, we we got engaged.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, so yeah, so how many months after your dating
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: that you got.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Engaged It was more like seconds, I think, No, it
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: was like a year.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: It was about a year.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was about a year.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: And well, you know, you know, but also also like
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: we were at a point of our lives and our
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: age where we're like, okay, you know, what do we
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: want from life? You know, and and it felt to
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: me like our worlds were aligning and the fact that
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: our interests were, you know, finding its place at the
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: right time, at the right place. So when we got engaged,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: during that year, we were on a bunch of trips
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: together and one of those trips was to Japan. And
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: when we were to Japan, that's when we said I
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: love you to each other for the first time. And
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: that's when our conversation was like, okay, what are our
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: intentions here? You know. So when we had this conversation,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: you know, it felt like we were on the same
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: place at the sun. You know, we were at the
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: same mindset and and we realized that what we were
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: with each other was a family. And then as soon
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: as that happened, we you know, we were engaged and
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the whole thing. And and then all of a sudden
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: we got hey with COVID and we were in the
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: middle of planning a wedding. And then during COVID they're like, oh,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: it's going to be done in April. They said, okay, well,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: and then when he wasn't that in April, they were like, okay,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: so what's more important to us the wedding or started
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: a family, And that's when the kind of became a possibility. So,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: but that was such an interesting time too. I remember,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: you have to experience so many things on our own
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: really because it was COVID, you know, like you have
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: to have your first how was how was.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: So during COVID, what was the biggest surprise about each other?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: That you that you realized I mean, because right you're
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: forced to be with yes in each other's face. Like
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: what was what was what was the biggest surprise for me?
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I guess for me it was like even further back,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: like when we were traveling a bunch, like just his
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: level of patience with me, because I feel like I'm
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: not like super you know, complicated, but I definitely like
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: have my own way of going about things, and so
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: traveling like I was like, you know, sometimes we'd get
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: to the airport and then I was like, you know,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: he'd be like checklists, like do you have this?
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: You have this? Yeah, I've got everything.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: We get to the airport, I'm like I don't have
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: my passport and we're always late. So like there was
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: like a lot of, you know instances where like I
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: got to sell like see so many sides of him
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: that I was like, he could have responded and reacted
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: so differently to so many different like scenarios that I
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: put ourselves in, And when I saw how he handled
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: those situations, I was like, Okay, like wow, this person
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: has you know, so much just like patience.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: For me, and like I don't know just I was.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: I was pleasantly surprised at like how like gentle you
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: are with like you know, how you handle situations.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I feel so seen the first time. No my advice
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: versa though. I mean, like I told this story for
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: probably three years. We go to Houston, Texas. We're going
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: there for Comic Poloosa, and I'm HOSTINGLUSA with the two
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: lead girls of Game of Throns and we're there and
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: then it's like a lot of work and we're doing
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: this thing and I'm there and I'm like, okay, they
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: don't need me downstairs until eleven. I was working the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: night before whatever, like let's just I'm gonna take a
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: little nap, you know. When I wake up from the nap,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: my clothes were were hanging and there was a steamer
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: that had just been you know, used for the shirt.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: And I was like, somebody come up and doing that stuff.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: And I was asked her who who steamed my clothes?
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: And she was like I did, And I said, what,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: why why do my clothes? She goes, where are you
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: gonna wear?
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: This?
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Stuff's wrankled, like I'm probably not right, and then she
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: just walked out like duh, one plus one equals too.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: And I was like, oh okay, Like you know, I've
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: been so self maintained and self soothed, you know, for
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: so long that it felt like that was such an
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: interesting moment, right, Like it's like to to to do that.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: But the point I'm making with the the Houston thing,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: it was like and I was like, where did you
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: get a steamer? And she had like order it the
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: night before and and like packed it in her back
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: because she was most likely going to use it and
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: then she used it on my shirts and then here.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: And you tell that story so many times makes me
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: realize that I should probably give you more stories like
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: that to tell.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's that stories.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Seven years old? And now you know definitely went the
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: other way around. No, I'm kidding, No, that's meaningful. That's
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: very meaningful to ye. But that was all those first
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: instances where like, same thing, we were noticing different aspects
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: of how we were treating one another in that moment,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: and it just kind of paved the road for the
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: for the possibility. You know. But I know in so
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: many ways, the arrival of our family. Yea father, yeah,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: now his fatherhood and motherhood and and uh, you know,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: she makes it look easy. You know, she makes it
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: look really easy. I was I was a sitar zign
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: night twice now witnessing her bring uh two miracles of
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: children into into our world. And I always say this, like,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: and we don't deserve the sacrifice that women go through
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: to you know, to bring you know, children into into
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: our world. And and it's something just like extraordinary, you know,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: to to watch it, to see it, to experience it,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: to feel it is life changing, is life changing for
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: any man. And you know, she did it with a smile.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: It's like really she went in there and she's like, Okay,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: let's go have this baby. I mean, I be terrified,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: you know, but but it is it is. It is
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: just I'm just a hod of you and everything you're
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: you've been, you've done for our family and you've made
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: it as a family for it. Now, so we have
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: a complete seven months seven week old, seven seven week
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: old and she's here doing a podcast you know with
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: brand new Banks.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: With brand with brand new banks looking looking fantastic.
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: Okay, so now you go from dating to like, now
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: now you have two kids, you know, So what's what's
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: what's been your take on parenthood with with Wilmer as
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: a pop, as a pop, as a as a company owner,
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: as a as a successful thespian, as all of it.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's juggling, juggling many many balls, spending many plates.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: What's your what's your take on it?
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: H you had such an interesting question. So, yeah, parenting
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: has it really was something that I felt like happened
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: like such a whirlwind because I went from like this,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: you know, you heard a little bit about some of
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: my travels, and I felt like I was just like this,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Like I was just like free.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Free with the wind, honestly, like wherever it took me,
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: like day by day, like.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: And when I met Wilmer, I saw what life could
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: look like and what life could be, and to me,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: that was stability.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: That was.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Something that I just id never a different adventure that
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: I like never had seen for myself. And one of
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: the biggest things was like becoming a mother. I didn't
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: see myself as that until I met him. And I
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: think a lot of that I owe to him, because
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: I don't want to get emotional, my god, but but yeah,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: I started to see that in me because he saw
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: that in me, and that was something that I had
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: an experience in any of my other relationships before, because
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it was because like where I
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: was at in my life, but it definitely just felt
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: like this person, you know, saw me as a mother,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: and so then therefore, like I start started feeling the
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: confidence of like, okay, like I could be a mother,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: and I started to see myself as a mother. When
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: I lost to my mom, it was something that I
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: almost wasn't sure that I wanted to do because I
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: was like, I don't have my mom here to do
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: this with, and that scared me. I wanted her to
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: be a part of that journey with me. But with him,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I felt like I could do anything and he just
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: like believed in me and saw so much in me,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: and so being a parent alongside him, I just feel
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: like constantly empowered. And you know, I'm seven weeks postpartuer,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: so like I'm going to start crying.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: What are some of the family traditions that you may
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: have had as a kid that you're hoping now to
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: incorporate with Wilmer as a as a husband, as a
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: as a you know, the father of your two.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: I mean we've started, we've started some of our own
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: that I think unique to us. You know, we've also
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: embraced some of some of her families as well, because
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I think her family does a great job but showing up,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: you know, you know, but I I have to say that,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: you know, as as busy as I have been and
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: have become, you know, the relentless search to leave my
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: family massive legacy where they have nothing else to do,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Like if I'm gone, I'm obsessing over leaving them something
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: that could take care of them. I think that's kind
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: of part of the redlandless search for the entrepreneurship and
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: all that stuff, and like what am I you know,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: what am I leaving her? What am I leaving my kids?
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: You know? And like you know, so that that I
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: think that takes a lot of you know, commitment in hours.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: That being said, Amanda does an incredible job at making
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: sure that you know, for example, I do set. I
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: have a double banker, and double Banker is a trailer
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: that has two different trailers, two different dressing rooms in
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: one trailer, one for yourself, yes, that one for me,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: and then I have the second one for my family.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: So you know, we you know, it has their names,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: you know, Jimmy, Turi and and Chucky. Yeah, uh in
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: a canoe, and so they had their own side of
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: the trailer, which ended up being like we were using
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: only on the one side, you know. But but the
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: point is that I want her to know that even
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: if I'm on set, you know, she has a place
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: for her, for her and for her family on that set.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: The set is incredibly understanding, you know, they understand, Yeah,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I'm out, I'm gone for some reason. My family cannot
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: just visit me whenever they want to. She has a
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: permanent drive on, she rolls up, has her space, you know,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: and and uh Nakano has her routines with our crafty
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: chefs who are incredible people, and and she makes her
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: little sandwiches with them. She's like, she's this is so
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: she know, she watches n CIA. She has a little
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: n cis bulletproof vest, you know, baby bulletproof as jackets
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: for fun. And but we work on that. We work
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: to figure out that, you know, that this journey that
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I'm on is our journey together, you know. And and
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: it's hard, but it is difficult, right because we do
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: have a great village around us, right but the time
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: that the top the stuff that we're building, you know,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: it's takes a lot of business hours, you know. But
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: when it comes to the traditions and coming full circle
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: to that, Christmas is a big one. You know. There's
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: a couple of trips a year that we have to make,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: you know, and I think sometime throughout the year we
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: have to go camping this Otherwise he kills me if
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: a year goes buy and we don't at least go
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: put up a ten somewhere, even if it's in our backyard,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: you know. But I look, I think Christmas is a
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: big one for us, and in a tradition for us,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: I think it's like, you know, finding one or two
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: times in the year where you're just so spontaneous that
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: you pick one random place around the world and go.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: You know, but yeah, did you want to speak to
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: traditions a little bit?
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: I feel like we're every year like we're starting new traditions,
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: and we're like trying to think of new traditions to start.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Sometimes it's hard for me because I always want to
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: do like something new all the time.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: So it's like a.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Part of me is like, oh, you know, maybe we
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: should do that same thing that we did last year.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: But and then another part of me is like, yeah,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: but I want to do something completely different, that's something
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: totally new.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: So that might even be a tradition.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I think that's our tradition is to like keep it
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: different every time, you know. But you know, now with kids,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: as you know, you build an entire environment where you're like, Okay,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: what what is Christmas for Nakano and Wolf? You know,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: when we can provide it? What is things giving feel like?
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: For her? What is that? You know? And and you know,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Amanda is so by the details. She she'll buy all
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: she goes to Michael's and buys all the arts and
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: crafts and shall build the Christmas cards from scratch, you know.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: She'll decorate the you know, the tree with the different
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: theme like she she really does it up for for
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Nakano and I kinda just lives like a really you know,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: magical time. But she also earns it though. Nacana is
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: like a really really exceptional, smart, smart young girl, and
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: she's just a brilliant young woman. I hope that when
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: she listens to this podcast when she's old, she's like,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: that's what my parents, you know, thought of me. But
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: in kind of coming from circle and wrapping it up
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: a little bit, we have again. You want to play
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: a game? Yeah?
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so so this is gonna be a kind of
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: a quick round, uh game. I'm gonna I'm gonna fire
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: away some questions, right, and then you all answer as
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: it comes. Okay, first question, Uh, who is first to
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: fall asleep during movie night?

  Speaker 2: I don't know. You can flip a coin on that one.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's usually me, but the kind of both of
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: us kind Yeah, that's a tough one. That's a tiebreaker. Yeah,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: trying to sit and watch Usually I would say, usually
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: me how quickly?
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: And though I guess, I guess you can do it
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: like how quickly? In yeah, I think.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Make it past like the credits?
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, or you do oh the credits at the beginning
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: the open Yeah? Yeah?
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Who was first to plan an adventurous family trip?
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Me?
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, you'll make it like super epic and over
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: the top, but I will definitely initiate.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Who is more likely to laugh at their own
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: joke before finishing it?
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Shut up? Shut up? I mean the problem is that
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I see it before I do it. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Who is more likely to be the stricter parent.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: Stricter parent.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Stricter.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: We just have like like slightly different parenting styles.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're I think you're a little bit
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: more patient.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: A little yeah, I mean yeah, I'm way more patient.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like way more patient, you mean, yeah. I I
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: want them to understand that it's wrong when it is wrong.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: And I think there's some you know, the reasoning is,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: I try to make it as simple and as quick
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: as possible. She has a really caring and loving conversation
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: about why this is wrong, and I just tell Naconna
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: she'll never talk to her mother like that again.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: But it's like, you know, it's that have different finesss,
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Like he wants to tell her once and that's it,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: and I want to tell her once also.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: But I but like we communicate differently.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's probably the.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Way because of how we grew up, right, Like I
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: just you grew up with a Latina mom.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: I did not few. I grew up with a Latino dad.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And he says yes to have, yes, do not play. Yeah,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: you know, let's tell you once. But I think it's
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: like I don't know. For me, I think learning consequence
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: as soft as this cons Queen's are for her. You know,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: it's like invaluable. You know, it's invaluable. And right now,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: it's when it becomes truth. You know, once they feel
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: like they're taller than you, and because she will be
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: and she's smarter than you, you know, all of a sudden,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: they don't have to listen to you anymore.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Who is more likely to cry during a sad movie?
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: I've definitely seen you like tears?
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I cry all the time in movie.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: She's more emotional than me.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: It's just like a tears.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: It's the actor in me. It's the actor in me,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: you know it is it? No, no, not that I'm notxious.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: You hold it together.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I hold it together. I have. I do a very deep,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: deep breath.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: One of those just let it, let it happen every movie.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I dude, I cried a K Pop Demon Hunter. Yes
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: I cried that one. And if you've seen the movie
