Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fly from the Mercedes Fins Interview lounge. All right, well
we've got an interview going on, but there's no one
here to interview. Hello, interview, Hello, will you bring our
get Where are they?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Names out?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
They're probably flirting with them both, mate.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Can you bring them in? We're on the We're on
bring them in. There they are, how we're live. Don't
use the F words. I'm not black. There's a reason
I said that. We'll get to that. We have to
(00:36):
Amy ro and t J Holmes. Of course Amy and
t J from the world famous Amy and TJ podcast
on iHeart the reason why. I just had to remind
t J that I'm not black, and look at me,
I'm as far away, I'm a translucent. It was confusing.
I wasn't sure, but yes, you know, our our producer,
(00:56):
Andrew is also producer of the Amy and t J podcast.
And so how long was it? How long went by
until you had to remind TJ that you're not black?
Speaker 4 (01:08):
So there was a moment TJ when you were doing
the podcast and you looked at me at one point
and said right, brother, And I was like, oh no, no, no, no, no,
I don't think he means me as a brother that way, right.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Robot, tell them you've known me forever. This is something
I always always use.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
He calls men, my brother, he calls all the women,
my sister, my sister.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Did we stand corrected?
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Yeah, it's just a term of I'd say that to everybody,
little boys or whatever. Hey, my brother. But it's just
the thing I've always always done. I'm gonna say it
made me feel good. It made me feel accepted, included. Right,
they make me feel black for just a second, Justice,
it was a blip of black.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Okay, a blip of black, say.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Right, Because if you deliver it like hulkgin, no black
at all?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Okay, you a blip of black. It's a we gotta
use that. And Hulk Hogan is wider than me, yes
than most Yes. So here for a race discussion. Looks
like our time is up. So okay, let's bring everyone
up to speed. What's going on here? Now? To start
(02:15):
at the beginning for us, anyway, years ago, on a
Good Morning America ABC, one of the biggest, arguably the
biggest morning shows ever back then, when you guys were
on it was the ratings were at the top. There
was a big national story about how you two worked
together and then you were together together, which is not
an unusual story. I mean, I've had sex with half
(02:35):
of these people.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
You weren't supposed to tell anybody, yell and me.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
But which which half?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
As I look around the room anyway, I mean, in
the true story came out that you're both You're both
in marriages that were already on the decline and already done.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
But we were in the middle of divorces.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Exactly what proceeedings were going. Yes, but that was your secret.
And then it came out and blew up and blah
blah blah, and so you left the network and now
here you are now with this podcast with us in
our hallways. It is good to have you here.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Thank you very much. It's good to be here.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
We love being in live studios. We do miss the
live elements. So this is a real treat for us
to be on the radio live. That's something that we love.
Our iHeart podcast and our family. But this is fun.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
It is fun. Plus you don't have to get dressed.
I mean, even though you're dressed very well, no makeup,
no hair and makeup, and me, I have no hair,
so I have no hair, and I must stay before
we get going. Your daughter, Eva Amy was one of
our favorite interns of all time. If I could, we
would have kept her here.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
She would have stayed. She would have never left.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
She talks about you guys all the time. She brings
enthusiasm with her everywhere she goes.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
She's amazing. Even though you let her live in a
roach infestive apartment.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
I allowed her to move into my apartment for a
period of time. Yes I did, and I paid for
all the exterminators. By the way, I have to tell
us that part I left that part.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. How do you think she paid for
all of that?
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Thats me?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Well, we love good nasty apartment story. Hey, so let's
talk about the podcast we love. And Andrews set us up,
set this up with us very well. It's in Anything
Goes conversation, a conversation about. Of course you also have
a you also do the Daily News. What's this?
Speaker 5 (04:24):
What's the podcast? It's Daily News Morning Run. That's the fun.
That's the one we are really excited and proud of
talk about. Le's talk about that first.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Well, the Morning Run.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
I mean people, you you there's so many podcasts out there,
but day and day out. If you're just on a
quick commute on a train and you just had a
twenty minute ride, you just want to.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Get caught up, and we're not. We're you know. What
we're getting to do now is.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
To talk and deliver news the way we wish we
would have when we were on TV. That's what's the difference.
There's such a traditional way of speaking. It's just it's
not as colloquial as we are able to be on
our podcast now.
Speaker 7 (04:53):
Is say the president was determined to like you just
have to use these words. Now we're just talking.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Yeah, and we this was just yesterday. This is something
we would never say on broadcast news. We were talking
about Harvard, right, and what's going on with Harvard and
Trump's going after Penn, the University of Pennsylvania now, and
we said, we're waiting to see if Penn is going
to have the same kiss our Ivy league ass's.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Approach that Harvard does. You can see that on NBC.
We would never say, But we talk, We talked. That's
delivering the new the same story.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
It's just we're able to just have a different type
of conversation.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
We're really proud of the Morning Run It is a
big difference between what will used radio as our example,
or podcasting versus network TV, because everyone's want to used
to do fill in over on NBC this and that,
and I was I always felt like we were just
choked and we're not. I actually called some in a
d bag on the Today Show one day. I was
on with Kathy Lee. Yeah, back then, I called some
(05:48):
in a d bag. And then someone came in and
during the commercial and said, you know, they just came
down from upstairs and said, you can't use the term
d bag on NBC.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Wow, of rules, I know, But do you know how
much more fascinating these shows would be if they allowed.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
The exactly, can you say penis? Because we can say
penis here, it's very exciting. Well, right now, we can
say anything.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
But when we were on there, I was thrown I
was really actually bowled over, because here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
You can say I don't know if I can say
it on the radio.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I don't know. None of us know.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
B I t h okay.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
So even you could say you could say slot, you
could say bitch, but you couldn't say like g D
or you couldn't say, oh, we couldn't even say ship's creek.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Oh yeah, we did for a while. We toyed with
that too.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
We had to say like bleep creek or something. But
I can say someone's a bitch. That's insane to me. Also, vagina,
you can say there were like, yes, we couldn't say
specific female body.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
It depends on how you use the word.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Talking in a medical term.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
We still weren't allowed.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Bitch is never a medical one.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
No, I'm just saying it's funny that there are so
many regulations, like nobody cares that you use that word,
but you can't call a man a d.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Word exactly right, exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
People get away with saying crappy yourself about women.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
A couple of couples all the time.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
You do. They couldn't.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
They couldn't.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
You can call a woman a bitch, but you can't
call a man a dick.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
That's not Who was it? Do you remember who you
called the d bag? Who was it? It was someone
in the news. I don't remember, but they were a droom.
But I didn't say. I didn't say douche. I said,
I didn't say douchebagh. So sorry, this is this, So
you have here with with Amy and t J a
(07:34):
classic example of people who were on network TV for
years who had this great personality, who had interesting, colorful
things to say and commentary, but couldn't do it because
they were working in the confines of this structure that's
said sat into place by these big companies and on
these TV networks.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
And it's funny because it took us a while. It
took me probably a little bit longer to unwind and
to not be in that lane because you've done it
for so long, I mean I twenty seven years broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
You have a filter that is rock solid at that point.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
So then to get in front of the mics and
be able to tell the news in a fun, informative
but loose way has been really freeing and really exhiligating.
It took me a little while, but you have It's
This guy is one of the smartest and funniest dudes
I've ever worked with in my life.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
So to be able to do it.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
Every day with him without the con or the constraints
of network news has just been awesome. So it's worth
getting up at three am every morning.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Oh boy, Oh it's not us, no, No, gravity's evil
at that hour well, so, okay, so when you first
started doing Anian TJ the podcast and you started just
talking about real life whatever, did it take you a
while to just go, okay, wait, wait can we say that?
I mean, were you editing yourself a little bit?
Speaker 7 (08:54):
Of course, yes, because it's like you're on autopilot. That
was your bread and butter to make sure you didn't
say the wrong thing. And so it was suddenly, wait,
we can kind of say whatever we want and we
can actually give an informed opinion, because that was the
other thing, you know, when you're especially the roles that
we had in the news, we weren't analysts. We were
there to report the facts, ma'am. So we didn't get
(09:17):
to say what we thought or bring in experience or anything.
So this has been really cool to be able to
be able to express opinions.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
But also the facts that you were reading and reporting
on were facts written by someone who obviously could have
a lean one way or another.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Absolutely, without doubt. Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
But see, the only time I see talking heads on
network TV actually being real is if they're doing a
sad story. And then every once in a while you'll
see someone a journalist actually cry because they're talking about
something that's just so tragic, the death of kids on
(09:55):
a playground, whatever, and they're supposed to just read the
teleprompter what's written for them, and then they stop.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Your voice starts to crack, You take a gulp, and
they cry.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
That's so funny you say that. I was known for
crying on the air. I did a segment called Tell
TJ that really went out and told these personal stories
people just diding, heroic things that were just they weren't
sad stories, they were inspiring stories. But tears always always came.
But we don't read a tale, and that's okay to
be a human being. We're just getting a chance to
do that at every breath.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Now, Well, then we should have just as much license
on TV in crying about something. You should also be
able to, you know, call someone a stupid, a hole.
I don't know. I don't know what you do.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
So you guys are free and easy now and you
can insert your opinions if you ever wanted to go
back to network, which I don't know if you do
or not. Does this make that harder now that people
have seen behind the curtain.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
I think it makes it better because I think now, look,
we've also been careful not to give political opinions. I mean,
I'm talking about just relying on our experiences but bringing
in some personal information.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
But I think we felt so free.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
You said this the other day, It would be fun
to go back onto network news now and be the
version of ourselves, the version of the journalist we've now become,
and I think you know it's an enhanced version.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Well, so many easily smart enough to let you do that.
You know, we haven't asked to. That sounds crazy.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
We have not in two years now had any representative
of ours make any inquiry to any news network for
a job for us. We haven't asked.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
We have no interest at this point. Don't give your off.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
The right thing came along, maybe, but we have gotten
into this lane. This is we cannot believe how happy
we are and how much we are enjoying what we're
doing to where we're forgetting about that other life and
that other.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Thing we used to do. Say, well, see what you're
talking about, TJ is very important to someone out right
now is in the car driving to work and on
that way to the office where they're making sausage every day,
the same thing every day, wishing they had this life
in the rearview mirror and they're doing something that's more exciting.
It may not it may not pay the same, or
it may not be the same play it doesn't. But
(12:00):
after this segment, oh no, okay, So another thing, another thing.
It's interesting about talking about podcasting with Amy and Teach.
You don't really start off in a fast lane in
podcasting unless you're just like a handful of people who
are making tens of millions of dollars on one hundreds. It
doesn't pay for a couple of years. So let that's
(12:22):
why we talk to Andrew. So Andrew's in charge of
podcasting around here. Hell come, it's such a piss poor industry.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
I think it's because there's forty seven million bajillion podcasts,
so it's hard to fight and to find your lane.
So then you really have to like kind of figure
out what you could be the best of in a
small category. Like Scottie and I we are the best
food podcasters asterisk of cereal asterisk with two guys doing it, so.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
That means we're number one in that lane. And says,
what you got to do, is it an asterisk or
an asterisk risk? Asterisk just asking. It's just thank you, Okay, yeah,
I'll just totally took us off the train. And he's
he's our best producer. Remember when this andrew you? You know,
Amy and TJ Betther than anyone else. What is it
(13:10):
we're not talking about that? You know that they would
love to go off on.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
Wow, I feel like you guys talking about maybe your
drug use.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I did. I did hear about the edible before the botox.
I'm sorry, by the way, Amy, It's been a while
since I've had botox, as you can tell. But one
time I was on a major emmer effort. Uh uh edible,
I have to think about that, and I went in
to get my boatox.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Oh yep.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Big music thing is when you get botox, you can
hear the liquid entering your skull.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
And it.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I was like, this should be freaking me out, and
it didn't, but I heard you freaked out.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
Well, because if I've ever been on an edible, it's
great because it makes you have an enhanced like I
feel like all your nerve endings are firing up, like
it really gives you an enhanced experience. I didn't realize
before I went into botox that that was going to
be enhanced pain because all of a sudden, like everything
I felt felt like fire.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
It was so much more painful, and I thought, never again.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I was just kind of freaking out because of pain,
just because of the sound in my skull.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
After that story, Elvis, You're definitely not black.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Definitely. Okay, No, I can show you several reasons why
I'm definitely not wanting, not even a blip after the
botox started. Okay, give me more examples.
Speaker 8 (14:33):
I think meeting each other's families that was a super
interesting story.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Well, okay, you see, I have known her parents for
the longest. We were best friends for years and years
before we ever started dating. So I hung out with
her parents and were cool and that. So it was
bizarre to then hang out with them again for the
first time as her boyfriend. Now, things weren't necessarily awkward
because I'm comfortable and know them well, but that was
there was a lot of adjustment in our life because
(15:00):
we naturally transitioned into a relationship.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
We have a solid.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Foundation of a friendship. I recommend that to anybody listening.
There's probably if you're looking for somebody to date, no,
there's somebody in your life probably right now who is
the person for you? And that we never would have
thought about that. But our foundation of friendship was so
good that some of that transition.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Was easy, even if awkward. It was just a brand
new thing.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
People were used to us seeing us in a certain way.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
That's true.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
And I think even for our kids because my daughter's
babysat TJ's daughter since she was one.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
So they were like they all knew each other.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
So then to suddenly transition into another role that was
a little It took a little bit of massaging and
everyone's kind of getting used to.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
This is either a Hallmark movie or a very this
is a movie, this is a screenplay.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Well, well, you know, we all sat Christmas together, like
we all had a blast and it was fun because
there was this base of knowing one another and liking
one another, and so it was we had a blast
at Christmas.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Well, we ask you a question. Though you were a
good friendship, I guess reportedly for at least ten years
before you were romantically involved. It was eight yes, right, Okay,
it was still long. Yeah, lots of time, but you
were good, good friends. And TEJ was talking about how
you had this foundation of friendship and then it turned
into something more. Why is it we fall in love
with people and have relationship with people in a romantic
(16:18):
way and serious way, and then when it's over, we
never speak to them again. It makes me feel like, well,
were we ever really friends? I would never treat a
friend like that? But why this friend?
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Well?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Do you understand the dynamics?
Speaker 7 (16:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I think a huge part of it comes from were
you friends before or were you not. I remember having
a conversation with my ex boyfriend where I said I
still want to be friends. He said, why would we
be friends? We weren't friends before, and I was.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Like, oh, and that's why we're breaking up.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yes, now I don't want to date my friend and
I want to be friends after.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
But okay, but what I said to her before we
made the decision to date, absolutely, I said, if this
is going to sacrifice our friendship, I have no interest
in dating because I can't you as a friend.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Flat out did you mean it? One hundred percent mean it?
Speaker 5 (17:04):
She has meant so much to me in my life
as a friend and helping me through some of the
most difficult issues I've ever gone through. She was that
meaningful to me, I can't. I have to have her
in my life if it's going to be this or
it's going to be that, but it's who. I cannot
lose you as a friend. So it started there. That
really was That was a that was d day for.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Us, without a doubt.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
And I and I looked back at all my other relationships,
and to your point, I was never friends with anybody
I dated beforehand, and I don't speak to anyone kneh,
I you know dated before I. We didn't stay friends
because there was no friendship.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Wow. She talks to me, to me about how shallow
I was as a friend with these guys. I don't
talk to anymore who I was with for ten years.
So Danielle, you and Sheldon, Yeah, because I was supposed
to date Sheldon and he didn't want me, so I
gave her to I gave him to her.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
He wasn't gay, so you know you passed him all.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I know, but you but you were, but you were,
you were very friendly with each other.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
We were we were, yeah, but we didn't know each
other really before we started dating. But we were hanging
out a little bit, I guess on the friend zone
before we dated. A little bit, I guess, but not really.
I mean, but we were, yeah, but now it's different.
It's not that we didn't grow up together and we
didn't have families together and.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Listen that these guys did. Yeah, it's interesting how I
don't know, people have been married for thirty fifty years
and they never ever were friends and never will be friends.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
They don't like each other.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I mean, we kind of like what kind of life
choices that we.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Watch people all the time.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
We love people watching, and if you watch married couples
on vacation interact, it's pretty obvious that I would say
a vast majority of them are not friends.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
And for instance, what do you see that makes you
come to that conclusion?
Speaker 7 (18:42):
Because they pull out their books, turn their body languages
away from each other. Usually the woman or the man
is in front of the husband. They don't walk together
like it's really interesting.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Phones phones are out, there's beautiful.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
Look.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
If you're sitting there's a beautiful beach here and you're
sitting with your best friend or the person you love,
that's the dream. If you're not enjoying that moment, you
need to ask yourself some questions about your relationship in
that moment. How can you be this is it and
you're not enjoying that?
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Then he I used to always bring books on vacation
with me. I mean that's a big thing, right. He
looked at me, he said, are you actually going to
bring a book? I think it's the first time he
went on a vacation together. And I said, yeah, I
mean this is what I do. And he said good luck.
And I never picked the book up.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Because he has so much fun together, saying it's sometimes
it's a sign of a great relationship where you can
just be in silence together.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah, of course we can be.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Yeah, like we sit on the couch. We do if
you sit on the couch, Oh my god, this sounds
like so much fun. We sit on the couch, that's
the and be quiet sometimes. No, we are always interacting.
I really don't know a lot of times that we
are together and there's just not constant engagement.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Unless you're mad at me, Yeah there's an issue. Do
you do what I do with Sheldon?
Speaker 6 (19:50):
Like we chase each other around still and grab each
other's body, but when oh no, no, we're not fighting.
My kids My kids are always like seriously.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
But so sweet.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
The chase each other around and grab each other's body.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
You were grabbing body part of.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Body? Are no?
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Like Sam cooking in the kitchen right, my husband will
come over there and he'll like, grab my boob a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Like on top of my clothes?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Did you just touch TJ's boot?
Speaker 6 (20:22):
But we start laughing about it and the fact that
after being married, I mean we've been together a very
long time, after being married and having kids and being able.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
To still do that.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
I think it's great. But the kids don't think so.
They're like, my seriously, I mean, come on.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
I actually watched my parents do that, and I would say,
you guys are grossing me out. I don't want to
bring my friends over because it's embarrassing you.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
You don't want your parents fingering each other from you? Yes,
Kandhi No.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I think the key to all of it is long distance.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
You just stay away from each other. You have a
healthy relationship because you never find.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
And it's working.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
How much distance which he lives in Michigan and I
live here, you see how often a couple times a month,
But that's good enough.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Are they set or are they random? Do you just
figure something out?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Or you have this weekend, this weekend.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Just figure it out.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
How long are your times together do you when you
see each other a few days.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
A week, sometimes a few days, sometimes a week, sometimes
a couple of weeks. It just depends how long you'll
be in the gituation almost six years?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yeah, okay, together for a while.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
Any plans to actually live in the same city. Wow,
I am so sorry.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I was up ask Alex. I'm curious as.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
No, we really don't because he has a life that
keeps him in Michigan and my life keeps me here
and there's not a way to merge those at the moment.
So we're just giving each other space and having fun.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
A partners that you heard of that the new thing
called a partners being apart apart at Okay, yeah, it's
a new trend.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Now I'm only with my husband three on a week's
really Yeah, it's awesome. Nice. I'll explain later. So if
you're just turning a talk Amy and TJ their podcast
right here on Iart Radio, the text are coming through
a love Amy and TJ didn't even know they had
a podcast. I'm going to listen. Wow, I agree with
TJ about being friends best friends with the person you're
(22:06):
with People are commenting about everything you're talking about. This
is why your your podcast is so interesting. You're talking
about things people want to talk about it.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
But we're able to do that here, and we appreciate
the opportunity of doing it here. Look, we have been
next to it. We actually do our podcast in the
studio right next door to where we are, and we've
been doing it for a little over a year. But
this is the first invitation we've gotten to this show.
I'm not complaining. I'm saying it's it's the best sign
that maybe we're finally doing something right that we've been
invited here.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
So thank you. Well start off by getting a better studio.
That studio is crap. Wow, podcasting doesn't pay, man. We're
working on it.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
We're working on it.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I mean, do you remember the day I just burst
through your door when you're doing your podcast. I didn't
see you guys sitting there by the saw. I saw
Andrew and I'm like, I gotta go yell at him
about something. I'm just you guys are in there talking.
I'm sorry about that. I never apologize. Look, thank you
so much for coming on.
Speaker 7 (22:59):
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you for touching your bob.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
My girlfriend's here, so it's all good. It's you should here.
When he starts biting Guestsquatch podcast, it's a strange. It's
very uncomfortable when she does. It's Amy and t J
the podcast. Of course, wherever you get your podcast, we
hope you get it on iHeartRadio. Thank you guys so
(23:23):
much for being here. Uh and I love how you
are very meaningful in the things you talk about, and
you love you both kind of just hitch on to
any conversation that you find interesting because you know you're
passionate about it. Another reason why we think your podcast
is fabulous. Thank you, thank you, thanks for coming on.
There is Amy and Jank
Fly from the Mercedes Fins Interview lounge. All right, well
we've got an interview going on, but there's no one
here to interview. Hello, interview, Hello, will you bring our
get Where are they?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Names out?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
They're probably flirting with them both, mate.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Can you bring them in? We're on the We're on
bring them in. There they are, how we're live. Don't
use the F words. I'm not black. There's a reason
I said that. We'll get to that. We have to
(00:36):
Amy ro and t J Holmes. Of course Amy and
t J from the world famous Amy and TJ podcast
on iHeart the reason why. I just had to remind
t J that I'm not black, and look at me,
I'm as far away, I'm a translucent. It was confusing.
I wasn't sure, but yes, you know, our our producer,
(00:56):
Andrew is also producer of the Amy and t J podcast.
And so how long was it? How long went by
until you had to remind TJ that you're not black?
Speaker 4 (01:08):
So there was a moment TJ when you were doing
the podcast and you looked at me at one point
and said right, brother, And I was like, oh no, no, no, no, no,
I don't think he means me as a brother that way, right.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Robot, tell them you've known me forever. This is something
I always always use.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
He calls men, my brother, he calls all the women,
my sister, my sister.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Did we stand corrected?
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Yeah, it's just a term of I'd say that to everybody,
little boys or whatever. Hey, my brother. But it's just
the thing I've always always done. I'm gonna say it
made me feel good. It made me feel accepted, included. Right,
they make me feel black for just a second, Justice,
it was a blip of black.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Okay, a blip of black, say.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Right, Because if you deliver it like hulkgin, no black
at all?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Okay, you a blip of black. It's a we gotta
use that. And Hulk Hogan is wider than me, yes
than most Yes. So here for a race discussion. Looks
like our time is up. So okay, let's bring everyone
up to speed. What's going on here? Now? To start
(02:15):
at the beginning for us, anyway, years ago, on a
Good Morning America ABC, one of the biggest, arguably the
biggest morning shows ever back then, when you guys were
on it was the ratings were at the top. There
was a big national story about how you two worked
together and then you were together together, which is not
an unusual story. I mean, I've had sex with half
(02:35):
of these people.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
You weren't supposed to tell anybody, yell and me.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
But which which half?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
As I look around the room anyway, I mean, in
the true story came out that you're both You're both
in marriages that were already on the decline and already done.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
But we were in the middle of divorces.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Exactly what proceeedings were going. Yes, but that was your secret.
And then it came out and blew up and blah
blah blah, and so you left the network and now
here you are now with this podcast with us in
our hallways. It is good to have you here.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Thank you very much. It's good to be here.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
We love being in live studios. We do miss the
live elements. So this is a real treat for us
to be on the radio live. That's something that we love.
Our iHeart podcast and our family. But this is fun.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
It is fun. Plus you don't have to get dressed.
I mean, even though you're dressed very well, no makeup,
no hair and makeup, and me, I have no hair,
so I have no hair, and I must stay before
we get going. Your daughter, Eva Amy was one of
our favorite interns of all time. If I could, we
would have kept her here.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
She would have stayed. She would have never left.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
She talks about you guys all the time. She brings
enthusiasm with her everywhere she goes.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
She's amazing. Even though you let her live in a
roach infestive apartment.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
I allowed her to move into my apartment for a
period of time. Yes I did, and I paid for
all the exterminators. By the way, I have to tell
us that part I left that part.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. How do you think she paid for
all of that?
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Thats me?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Well, we love good nasty apartment story. Hey, so let's
talk about the podcast we love. And Andrews set us up,
set this up with us very well. It's in Anything
Goes conversation, a conversation about. Of course you also have
a you also do the Daily News. What's this?
Speaker 5 (04:24):
What's the podcast? It's Daily News Morning Run. That's the fun.
That's the one we are really excited and proud of
talk about. Le's talk about that first.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Well, the Morning Run.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
I mean people, you you there's so many podcasts out there,
but day and day out. If you're just on a
quick commute on a train and you just had a
twenty minute ride, you just want to.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Get caught up, and we're not. We're you know. What
we're getting to do now is.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
To talk and deliver news the way we wish we
would have when we were on TV. That's what's the difference.
There's such a traditional way of speaking. It's just it's
not as colloquial as we are able to be on
our podcast now.
Speaker 7 (04:53):
Is say the president was determined to like you just
have to use these words. Now we're just talking.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Yeah, and we this was just yesterday. This is something
we would never say on broadcast news. We were talking
about Harvard, right, and what's going on with Harvard and
Trump's going after Penn, the University of Pennsylvania now, and
we said, we're waiting to see if Penn is going
to have the same kiss our Ivy league ass's.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Approach that Harvard does. You can see that on NBC.
We would never say, But we talk, We talked. That's
delivering the new the same story.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
It's just we're able to just have a different type
of conversation.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
We're really proud of the Morning Run It is a
big difference between what will used radio as our example,
or podcasting versus network TV, because everyone's want to used
to do fill in over on NBC this and that,
and I was I always felt like we were just
choked and we're not. I actually called some in a
d bag on the Today Show one day. I was
on with Kathy Lee. Yeah, back then, I called some
(05:48):
in a d bag. And then someone came in and
during the commercial and said, you know, they just came
down from upstairs and said, you can't use the term
d bag on NBC.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Wow, of rules, I know, But do you know how
much more fascinating these shows would be if they allowed.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
The exactly, can you say penis? Because we can say
penis here, it's very exciting. Well, right now, we can
say anything.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
But when we were on there, I was thrown I
was really actually bowled over, because here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
You can say I don't know if I can say
it on the radio.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I don't know. None of us know.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
B I t h okay.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
So even you could say you could say slot, you
could say bitch, but you couldn't say like g D
or you couldn't say, oh, we couldn't even say ship's creek.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Oh yeah, we did for a while. We toyed with
that too.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
We had to say like bleep creek or something. But
I can say someone's a bitch. That's insane to me. Also, vagina,
you can say there were like, yes, we couldn't say
specific female body.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
It depends on how you use the word.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Talking in a medical term.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
We still weren't allowed.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Bitch is never a medical one.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
No, I'm just saying it's funny that there are so
many regulations, like nobody cares that you use that word,
but you can't call a man a d.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Word exactly right, exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
People get away with saying crappy yourself about women.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
A couple of couples all the time.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
You do. They couldn't.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
They couldn't.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
You can call a woman a bitch, but you can't
call a man a dick.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
That's not Who was it? Do you remember who you
called the d bag? Who was it? It was someone
in the news. I don't remember, but they were a droom.
But I didn't say. I didn't say douche. I said,
I didn't say douchebagh. So sorry, this is this, So
you have here with with Amy and t J a
(07:34):
classic example of people who were on network TV for
years who had this great personality, who had interesting, colorful
things to say and commentary, but couldn't do it because
they were working in the confines of this structure that's
said sat into place by these big companies and on
these TV networks.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
And it's funny because it took us a while. It
took me probably a little bit longer to unwind and
to not be in that lane because you've done it
for so long, I mean I twenty seven years broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
You have a filter that is rock solid at that point.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
So then to get in front of the mics and
be able to tell the news in a fun, informative
but loose way has been really freeing and really exhiligating.
It took me a little while, but you have It's
This guy is one of the smartest and funniest dudes
I've ever worked with in my life.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
So to be able to do it.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
Every day with him without the con or the constraints
of network news has just been awesome. So it's worth
getting up at three am every morning.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Oh boy, Oh it's not us, no, No, gravity's evil
at that hour well, so, okay, so when you first
started doing Anian TJ the podcast and you started just
talking about real life whatever, did it take you a
while to just go, okay, wait, wait can we say that?
I mean, were you editing yourself a little bit?
Speaker 7 (08:54):
Of course, yes, because it's like you're on autopilot. That
was your bread and butter to make sure you didn't
say the wrong thing. And so it was suddenly, wait,
we can kind of say whatever we want and we
can actually give an informed opinion, because that was the
other thing, you know, when you're especially the roles that
we had in the news, we weren't analysts. We were
there to report the facts, ma'am. So we didn't get
(09:17):
to say what we thought or bring in experience or anything.
So this has been really cool to be able to
be able to express opinions.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
But also the facts that you were reading and reporting
on were facts written by someone who obviously could have
a lean one way or another.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Absolutely, without doubt. Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
But see, the only time I see talking heads on
network TV actually being real is if they're doing a
sad story. And then every once in a while you'll
see someone a journalist actually cry because they're talking about
something that's just so tragic, the death of kids on
(09:55):
a playground, whatever, and they're supposed to just read the
teleprompter what's written for them, and then they stop.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Your voice starts to crack, You take a gulp, and
they cry.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
That's so funny you say that. I was known for
crying on the air. I did a segment called Tell
TJ that really went out and told these personal stories
people just diding, heroic things that were just they weren't
sad stories, they were inspiring stories. But tears always always came.
But we don't read a tale, and that's okay to
be a human being. We're just getting a chance to
do that at every breath.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Now, Well, then we should have just as much license
on TV in crying about something. You should also be
able to, you know, call someone a stupid, a hole.
I don't know. I don't know what you do.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
So you guys are free and easy now and you
can insert your opinions if you ever wanted to go
back to network, which I don't know if you do
or not. Does this make that harder now that people
have seen behind the curtain.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
I think it makes it better because I think now, look,
we've also been careful not to give political opinions. I mean,
I'm talking about just relying on our experiences but bringing
in some personal information.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
But I think we felt so free.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
You said this the other day, It would be fun
to go back onto network news now and be the
version of ourselves, the version of the journalist we've now become,
and I think you know it's an enhanced version.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Well, so many easily smart enough to let you do that.
You know, we haven't asked to. That sounds crazy.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
We have not in two years now had any representative
of ours make any inquiry to any news network for
a job for us. We haven't asked.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
We have no interest at this point. Don't give your off.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
The right thing came along, maybe, but we have gotten
into this lane. This is we cannot believe how happy
we are and how much we are enjoying what we're
doing to where we're forgetting about that other life and
that other.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Thing we used to do. Say, well, see what you're
talking about, TJ is very important to someone out right
now is in the car driving to work and on
that way to the office where they're making sausage every day,
the same thing every day, wishing they had this life
in the rearview mirror and they're doing something that's more exciting.
It may not it may not pay the same, or
it may not be the same play it doesn't. But
(12:00):
after this segment, oh no, okay, So another thing, another thing.
It's interesting about talking about podcasting with Amy and Teach.
You don't really start off in a fast lane in
podcasting unless you're just like a handful of people who
are making tens of millions of dollars on one hundreds. It
doesn't pay for a couple of years. So let that's
(12:22):
why we talk to Andrew. So Andrew's in charge of
podcasting around here. Hell come, it's such a piss poor industry.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
I think it's because there's forty seven million bajillion podcasts,
so it's hard to fight and to find your lane.
So then you really have to like kind of figure
out what you could be the best of in a
small category. Like Scottie and I we are the best
food podcasters asterisk of cereal asterisk with two guys doing it, so.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
That means we're number one in that lane. And says,
what you got to do, is it an asterisk or
an asterisk risk? Asterisk just asking. It's just thank you, Okay, yeah,
I'll just totally took us off the train. And he's
he's our best producer. Remember when this andrew you? You know,
Amy and TJ Betther than anyone else. What is it
(13:10):
we're not talking about that? You know that they would
love to go off on.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
Wow, I feel like you guys talking about maybe your
drug use.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I did. I did hear about the edible before the botox.
I'm sorry, by the way, Amy, It's been a while
since I've had botox, as you can tell. But one
time I was on a major emmer effort. Uh uh edible,
I have to think about that, and I went in
to get my boatox.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Oh yep.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Big music thing is when you get botox, you can
hear the liquid entering your skull.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
And it.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I was like, this should be freaking me out, and
it didn't, but I heard you freaked out.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
Well, because if I've ever been on an edible, it's
great because it makes you have an enhanced like I
feel like all your nerve endings are firing up, like
it really gives you an enhanced experience. I didn't realize
before I went into botox that that was going to
be enhanced pain because all of a sudden, like everything
I felt felt like fire.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
It was so much more painful, and I thought, never again.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I was just kind of freaking out because of pain,
just because of the sound in my skull.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
After that story, Elvis, You're definitely not black.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Definitely. Okay, No, I can show you several reasons why
I'm definitely not wanting, not even a blip after the
botox started. Okay, give me more examples.
Speaker 8 (14:33):
I think meeting each other's families that was a super
interesting story.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Well, okay, you see, I have known her parents for
the longest. We were best friends for years and years
before we ever started dating. So I hung out with
her parents and were cool and that. So it was
bizarre to then hang out with them again for the
first time as her boyfriend. Now, things weren't necessarily awkward
because I'm comfortable and know them well, but that was
there was a lot of adjustment in our life because
(15:00):
we naturally transitioned into a relationship.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
We have a solid.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Foundation of a friendship. I recommend that to anybody listening.
There's probably if you're looking for somebody to date, no,
there's somebody in your life probably right now who is
the person for you? And that we never would have
thought about that. But our foundation of friendship was so
good that some of that transition.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Was easy, even if awkward. It was just a brand
new thing.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
People were used to us seeing us in a certain way.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
That's true.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
And I think even for our kids because my daughter's
babysat TJ's daughter since she was one.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
So they were like they all knew each other.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
So then to suddenly transition into another role that was
a little It took a little bit of massaging and
everyone's kind of getting used to.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
This is either a Hallmark movie or a very this
is a movie, this is a screenplay.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Well, well, you know, we all sat Christmas together, like
we all had a blast and it was fun because
there was this base of knowing one another and liking
one another, and so it was we had a blast
at Christmas.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Well, we ask you a question. Though you were a
good friendship, I guess reportedly for at least ten years
before you were romantically involved. It was eight yes, right, Okay,
it was still long. Yeah, lots of time, but you
were good, good friends. And TEJ was talking about how
you had this foundation of friendship and then it turned
into something more. Why is it we fall in love
with people and have relationship with people in a romantic
(16:18):
way and serious way, and then when it's over, we
never speak to them again. It makes me feel like, well,
were we ever really friends? I would never treat a
friend like that? But why this friend?
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Well?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Do you understand the dynamics?
Speaker 7 (16:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I think a huge part of it comes from were
you friends before or were you not. I remember having
a conversation with my ex boyfriend where I said I
still want to be friends. He said, why would we
be friends? We weren't friends before, and I was.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Like, oh, and that's why we're breaking up.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yes, now I don't want to date my friend and
I want to be friends after.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
But okay, but what I said to her before we
made the decision to date, absolutely, I said, if this
is going to sacrifice our friendship, I have no interest
in dating because I can't you as a friend.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Flat out did you mean it? One hundred percent mean it?
Speaker 5 (17:04):
She has meant so much to me in my life
as a friend and helping me through some of the
most difficult issues I've ever gone through. She was that
meaningful to me, I can't. I have to have her
in my life if it's going to be this or
it's going to be that, but it's who. I cannot
lose you as a friend. So it started there. That
really was That was a that was d day for.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Us, without a doubt.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
And I and I looked back at all my other relationships,
and to your point, I was never friends with anybody
I dated beforehand, and I don't speak to anyone kneh,
I you know dated before I. We didn't stay friends
because there was no friendship.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Wow. She talks to me, to me about how shallow
I was as a friend with these guys. I don't
talk to anymore who I was with for ten years.
So Danielle, you and Sheldon, Yeah, because I was supposed
to date Sheldon and he didn't want me, so I
gave her to I gave him to her.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
He wasn't gay, so you know you passed him all.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I know, but you but you were, but you were,
you were very friendly with each other.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
We were we were, yeah, but we didn't know each
other really before we started dating. But we were hanging
out a little bit, I guess on the friend zone
before we dated. A little bit, I guess, but not really.
I mean, but we were, yeah, but now it's different.
It's not that we didn't grow up together and we
didn't have families together and.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Listen that these guys did. Yeah, it's interesting how I
don't know, people have been married for thirty fifty years
and they never ever were friends and never will be friends.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
They don't like each other.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I mean, we kind of like what kind of life
choices that we.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Watch people all the time.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
We love people watching, and if you watch married couples
on vacation interact, it's pretty obvious that I would say
a vast majority of them are not friends.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
And for instance, what do you see that makes you
come to that conclusion?
Speaker 7 (18:42):
Because they pull out their books, turn their body languages
away from each other. Usually the woman or the man
is in front of the husband. They don't walk together
like it's really interesting.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Phones phones are out, there's beautiful.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
Look.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
If you're sitting there's a beautiful beach here and you're
sitting with your best friend or the person you love,
that's the dream. If you're not enjoying that moment, you
need to ask yourself some questions about your relationship in
that moment. How can you be this is it and
you're not enjoying that?
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Then he I used to always bring books on vacation
with me. I mean that's a big thing, right. He
looked at me, he said, are you actually going to
bring a book? I think it's the first time he
went on a vacation together. And I said, yeah, I
mean this is what I do. And he said good luck.
And I never picked the book up.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Because he has so much fun together, saying it's sometimes
it's a sign of a great relationship where you can
just be in silence together.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah, of course we can be.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Yeah, like we sit on the couch. We do if
you sit on the couch, Oh my god, this sounds
like so much fun. We sit on the couch, that's
the and be quiet sometimes. No, we are always interacting.
I really don't know a lot of times that we
are together and there's just not constant engagement.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Unless you're mad at me, Yeah there's an issue. Do
you do what I do with Sheldon?
Speaker 6 (19:50):
Like we chase each other around still and grab each
other's body, but when oh no, no, we're not fighting.
My kids My kids are always like seriously.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
But so sweet.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
The chase each other around and grab each other's body.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
You were grabbing body part of.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Body? Are no?
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Like Sam cooking in the kitchen right, my husband will
come over there and he'll like, grab my boob a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Like on top of my clothes?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Did you just touch TJ's boot?
Speaker 6 (20:22):
But we start laughing about it and the fact that
after being married, I mean we've been together a very
long time, after being married and having kids and being able.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
To still do that.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
I think it's great. But the kids don't think so.
They're like, my seriously, I mean, come on.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
I actually watched my parents do that, and I would say,
you guys are grossing me out. I don't want to
bring my friends over because it's embarrassing you.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
You don't want your parents fingering each other from you? Yes,
Kandhi No.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I think the key to all of it is long distance.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
You just stay away from each other. You have a
healthy relationship because you never find.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
And it's working.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
How much distance which he lives in Michigan and I
live here, you see how often a couple times a month,
But that's good enough.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Are they set or are they random? Do you just
figure something out?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Or you have this weekend, this weekend.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Just figure it out.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
How long are your times together do you when you
see each other a few days.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
A week, sometimes a few days, sometimes a week, sometimes
a couple of weeks. It just depends how long you'll
be in the gituation almost six years?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yeah, okay, together for a while.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
Any plans to actually live in the same city. Wow,
I am so sorry.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I was up ask Alex. I'm curious as.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
No, we really don't because he has a life that
keeps him in Michigan and my life keeps me here
and there's not a way to merge those at the moment.
So we're just giving each other space and having fun.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
A partners that you heard of that the new thing
called a partners being apart apart at Okay, yeah, it's
a new trend.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Now I'm only with my husband three on a week's
really Yeah, it's awesome. Nice. I'll explain later. So if
