thank so we've never done it with Joe and Serena. Really, yeah,
I thought you.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
I feel like we've I've helped.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I think we've had Raven, Raven, you've been on this all.
Speaker 3 (00:27):

Speaker 4 (00:36):
So I feel honored to be here.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
You are being too honest, But thank you so much
of Happy belated Mother's Day.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Raven.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Thank you what you guys do.
Speaker 6 (00:47):
We're actually in at a wedding at Portufaire to where
we met. I'm bachelor in Paradise, surprisingly, and but Adam
did treat me to a ninety minute massage at the
Four Seasons while we were there, so it was pretty
pretty good.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Were you at the first seasons in Puntamita. Yes, okay,
I know my parents have stayed there and they're like
it is nice.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, we had the best time. It was really needed too, just.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Us, and she was easy. I was like, hey, what
do you want for Mother's Day?
Speaker 5 (01:16):
And she just said, honestly, like a massage and just
a day of like just peace and like boom say less.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
And we were already at the wedding, so I was like,
all right, it's perfect.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
We'll just we'll double up and just so easy on
you this year.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Yeah, I'll take you. I'll take what I can get.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I feel like, I mean, I don't have kids, obviously,
I feel like a Mother's Day wedding is like maybe
unusual to like have a wedding on Mother's Day weekend,
But maybe this is a hot take, like is it
kind of nice to just be like what I want
for Mother's Day is to just chill and not be
with my kids? Is that bad?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I mean, it was nice being on the beach.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
But Adam will tell you me both we get like
the first day we're there, we're like, yeah, kid free,
and then the second day we're like, oh, we wish
your kids were here, Like with with a nanny or
a grandma, but like still here, yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
There with help there, with reinforcement, yes, exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
How do you guys feel? Do you guys go to
Mexico every year?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Right?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Do you do like an anniversary in Mexico every year?
Is that a thing?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
We just go a lot because the so easy.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Yeah, we do a lot. We do. We partner with
one of the hotels that's there.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
And I mean we're in Dallas, like you're basically we're
two hours from Cabo, No. Two and a half from Cabo,
two from Portavar to two from Cancuns, so you can
just pop to each one and like and it's virtually
almost each of them is within an hour or two
hours of time change. So yeah, it's not crazy, but
it's like an easy, easy, you know, pop over.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
For us, it's like we could go to Florida or
even California. We could go to Mexico in less time
than going across.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
The true right, Like it would be like going to
Florida for us, Like it's like a two and a
half hour flight from New York to Florida exactly. But
then yeah, to go to Cabo, it's like five and
a half hours, whereas if it was closed. It's between
Florida and Cabba, like I'm probably choosing Cabo.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah, I've never been.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
We enjoy it really yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, Oh that's surprising to you.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I've just told you that just now. You know you
don't listen to me. How far is? How far is?
How far is Austin from Dallas?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
It's about three hour drive or it's a forty five
minute flight.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I'm going there the first week at June for my
brother's bachelor party. Oh nice, do you ever go out there?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:34):
I remember you. You posted something and you are like
restaurant recks. So yes, I'm gonna text you like three
that I really like. But I know you're a hard
critic when it comes to food. So i'm gonna give you.
I'm gonna give you the spectrum. I'm gonna give you, like,
obviously you got to hit the Texas barbecue. Yeah, and
then you need to have some kind of a swanky,
funky Austin local type thing.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
And then I'll give you something that's a little bougie
as well. So I'll give you the spectrum.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna need that. I'm gonna tell
you right now, I have reservations at the one restaurant.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Is he had. There's like ten or eleven of them going,
so he's like, yeah, that's.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
A big party.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
The one restaurant starts with a D. It's like Da
Day or something like that. And then I'm trying to
make reservations at this at x Coachina. Have you heard
of that?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah? I heard it?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Okay, all right, well you send you gotta send me that.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
I think we're talking about day. I think, I think,
I know it's Uh, it's pretty cool. That's a good spot.
Do you know where are you staying downtown?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah, I'm staying downtown Okay, And that we're going a
few days early to golf as well at the Omni
Barton Creek.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Dude, you're gonna love that course.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Speaking speaking of Omni, we have an update about our lives.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
My gosh, tell us oh our new.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
We're building a house up at the new Omnia up
in Crystal, Texas, which is like north here in Dallas.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
So we have a house that we're gonna build.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
And Joe, if you're a golfer, a unstering to have
to come visit us when we get it. All built
because our house is between the seventh and sixth hole.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
You got it, got it?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Good job.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Wait, we're like Adam's like when we first started dating,
I think we were literally on the beach on Paradise.
Adam was like, there's two when we get out of here,
there's two things we're.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Going to do.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
We're going to live off of Lover's Lane, which we
live off of Lover's Lane, and I think he was
just saying that to be romantic. And then he said,
and then we're going to live on a golf course.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
So when the PGA came to Frisco and started opening
lots and we got a lot, I was like, wow,
everything you have ever said, it's come to fruition.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
So maybe it wasn't just about romance. He meant it,
and he was like, this is what we're doing, and
he may happen. So you guys have been in Dallas
for how long?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
When did you move here? Twenty nineteen?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
The beginning of twenty nineteen, like end of twenty eighteen.
I've been here, okay.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Okay, and then this move will be like far, just
a little down the road.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Twenty five thirty minutes north to here.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Okay, that's not bad.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Yeah, it's the burbs, but it's fun. It has it's
its own low bubble up there.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Like where we live.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
We're we're close to all the great restaurants we have.
You know, we're close to the American Airlines, which is
where the Mavericks play, and like the Dowstars, the hockey team.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I mean, we're just super central here.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
We're like seven minutes from the airport and we're not
in the flight paths.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
You don't really hear the planes, which is cool.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
They call this area the incubator because everyone comes, like
to our area we're in right now, to have children
and they move out to the verbs.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
So that's exactly what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
How is it building a house from scratch wall? Wait
before you answer that, Adam, what's your handicap?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Like A ten?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, you're good. I get I knew I saw your swing.
You're good. Okay, how is it?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Joe's always start But I'm getting that. He's so hyper fixating.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I'm getting there, getting it. I'm a twenty eight right now,
but I will be a fucking ten next year, I promise.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
And I know you have a great frame and like,
there's no reason why you can't hit that.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
So I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I'm going to get there anyways. What is it like
building a house from scratch?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
It's you know, to be in to be honest with you,
I'm god, I'm the I feel like I'm the driver
and all this stuff. Like Raven's definitely like if I
I just say, hey, this is this, this is what
I'm envisioning in my head, and here are three options
that we can go with.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Which one do you like? And She'll go I like
number two or number three or number one, whatever it is.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
And that has made it probably really easy rather than also.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Like super cool about it. I'm like, you know what, cool,
we're moving all right, let's do it. You know, I
really don't have an opinion, so it actually makes it
really tough.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
On him because I don't have a strong opinion.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
And so yeah, if he can give me some options
so I can like see what I like or what
I don't like, and then we can go from there.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
But I feel like the best Joe, I like we
kind of both play that role, but like it'll be like, okay,
I've narrowed it down to like three couches and he'll
be like, I hate those two definitely that one. I'm like, right,
That's all I needed, was like someone to make that
final decision.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Yeah, totally. It's a It's been good though. Adam is
so ahead of the game.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
He's he he's got everything all the way from the
permits from this city approved to I mean, we have
everything done. We just need to start breaking.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
I think like it's that, you know, the only thing
that's left.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
We've We've are tile picked, We've I think only thing
we got to pick out is color, like small little
police like wallpaper off. Fixtures are done, appliances are done.
We're just waiting on the lender. We have one lender
that like fumbled on us, and so we're trying to
We have another one that's picking back up. But I
got a file last year's taxes, I have an extension.
So it's just like there's just dominoes that need to
(09:01):
happen beforehand in order to get it done. But like
I will say is if you're dealing with a really
good contractor or a builder that's done these types of homes,
it really like it helps streamline the process because I
think a lot of people do get overwhelmed. Yeah, and
we got a good wet. We're a really good team.
That's kind of like helping push this in a good direction.
(09:22):
So I think it'll be fun. It'll be it's gonna
be really exciting. It's gonna take.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
About like a year and a half. Maybe that's you're
gonna ask.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Okay, so you just come visit. Joe and Adam will
go go off and then we'll go to the omni Spa.
I love that, and we'll just hang out there for
the day.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Do they give you like so, is it like a
developer that's like, hey, these are like the five different
house styles that you can choose from, and then you
can pick and then like customize slightly accordingly.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
No, what you're referring to is that's what's called the
semi custom That's where it's like, hey, here are these
like five floor plans, and then you can pay like
your countertops, the color, you can maybe move like move
a toilet or a sink around.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Because I have a friend that that was what they did.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
This is one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
This is like you fill out a questionnaire form to
your architect and you ask you like, hey, what are
your hot buttons, what do you like how do you
envision your home? So you have a lot of like
inspo picks and vision boards that you share with them,
and then you talk to them about like small things
like hey, we have two kids, and so they're boys, right,
so let's have their own separate bathrooms.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
And they're so like they're also first of all, he
is so precise and like very tough a that he
even like measures the hallways like how does it feel
down the hallway? And like our architect, he's everyone that's
involved is so thoughtful, like they're like, are you right
(10:51):
handed or left handed? Because that depends on where we're
going to put the dishwasher and that's where we're going
to put your silverware drawer. Because that makes me since
like how you're moving around your house like that's wild
about yes, Like even the position of the sun and
how it hits through the windows. And I mean all,
(11:11):
I mean the smallest tiniest things that you can think
of have been really thought thought out.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
And I think it is because we have such a
good team.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
But also like this is his dream and he's so
type a Like even the house we're in right now,
Adam has taken such good care of it that whoever
gets this house is going to be blessed if we
sell it.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
True, Do you think that's why you don't care, because
you trust the fact that Adam's a maniac.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Yeah, I'll just.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Get it done.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Yes, I think I'm pretty easy going.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
And to be honest, if you've had this conversation with
a few of my girlfriends, is like I grew up
in a world where I didn't have I didn't know
anyone but one person that had a two story home,
and so like in my brain, I haven't caught up
to the thought of, like this is going to be
my life, and it's just really hard for me to
(12:10):
envision because my dream home was the home I have now,
a very small home with my kids running around and
having a happy marriage, like that was my envision. And
so to have like a big house on a golf
course you can customize it, like you're even thinking about
where the sun is hitting in the windows, Like.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
That is really really far fetched for me.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
But like I'm along for the ride, like I love it,
but it's just like my brain is not there.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Adam's like, well, we're doing it, so fucking get there.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
We have had an argument because he was like, you
don't care, and I'm like, it's not that I don't care,
it's just so hard for me to like get there.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
We're from two different worlds. It's like, but I'm cool
with it.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Like, well, also you felt like Adam was like gonna
mess it up. I feel like that just shows you
also trust him to make the decisions as well, because
if you didn't, you would be way more involved. Just instinctively.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Yes, And then like when he showed me like the
the outside of the house and the stone work and
like everything that he was envisioning, I loved it. He
has such good taste I was. I was like, yeah, absolutely,
we agreed on like all the colors, all the like tiling,
like we were just so in it.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
So it well, sometimes it's hard to envision too, when
it's like not in front of you, like I find picturing,
like you know, and it's complicated enough. You guys have
seen this movie when like.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
That's my favorite home, I'm also in. I'm also really
in the homes to anim We're very similar.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
He doesn't really like architecture and design scene at golf
at golf, but you know when Steve Martin is like
showing Meryl Streep the home and it's like all like
mapped out in the grass and she's like, Oh, it's beautiful.
I'm like, what are we looking at? Like it's just
lines in the grass. Like how does someone really know
like what the feeling is until it happens. But I
(14:02):
feel like that's also just like you can do it
or you can't. Yeah, I know you would. You would
be like I get it, And I love that home though.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
That's like my favorite type of home.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Yeah, that's a really nice, beautiful home. I agree.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
What are the elements of your home now that you're
like we have to bring this into the new home
and then what are the things where you're like we
don't have this and like I can't wait to have it.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
This house is just so different.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Yeah, it's so different.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
This is like so when we got this house is
like built in nineteen fifty two, but we gutted it
and then we like kind of modernize.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
It a little bit.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
For storage. We need much storage.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
We just did not even consider how much storage, especially
after having kids. It's like, holy Molly, how do we
accumulate all this stuff? And I'm sure you feel the
same story of like being a quote unquote influencer on
social media, you get sent so much stuff all the time,
and it's just like you need a place to house everything.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
We have a six hundred and fifty square foot apartment.
You know how many boxes.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
It's insane maximum efficiency right now.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah. We really do our best to
keep this place organized. But like even my sister was
here and she's like, it's crazy. You get like three
boxes and you you feel it in the space because
it's so small, like you like it's a little messy,
and it feels so cluttered. Like I'm like just to
have a room, Like do you think you're gonna have
any sort of like office or like storage room that
strictly meant for like influencer stuff, content, pr boxes, all
(15:39):
the things.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yeah, I definitely it's already.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I was looking at and being like are we we
have that?
Speaker 5 (15:46):
There's like I don't know, there's neat things, Like it's
it's like I call it a one and a half story,
so it's all the basic living spaces is down below.
We also have a game room that's like detached from
the family room, so that way like the kids can
be playing in there and you can have an eye
on the watch. But then where the kids sleep. They
sleep actually upstairs and there's only like two or three
bedrooms upstairs, and then downstairs is like you know, the
(16:08):
primary bedroom office, there's you know, a powder room, and
then we also have a casita which is for our guests.
So that's to mimic virtually like a hotel room. So
it has like a king sized bed, has a coffee bar,
has a washer and dryer, has you know, a nice shower,
and like sinks or whatever. So that way when in
laws come or guests come, they feel like, hey, like
they're in.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Their own separate Yeah. Yeah, the house, so they're away
from the kids. If they want to break they can
go over there.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
So that's right.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Yeah, that is.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Of course, Joe, I couldn't do it out a pool,
and I'm gona have a pizza oven just for you.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Wow, we're gonna be staying in that casida.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah, we will be there. You're gonna come outside and
Joe's going to be in your pool eating pizza. Okay,
welcome home.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Let's pivot a little. Let's pivot to Bachelor in Paradise.
It's it's coming back on the air filming Now and Rica.
How long was it since your season? What year was that?
Speaker 6 (17:05):
You remember? Right?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Seventeen seventeen because I was eight.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Years Yeah, it's been eight years since we exited the
beach together.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
What season were you? Do you remember what number it was?
I think that would make sense because and then you
would have been five, and then there was six a
year off, and then seven is when we met.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Ye, So what season is on now?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
This will be season I think ten because there was
two seasons after us and then they took a year off.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, right, okay, so getting getting engaged on the show,
not being married, having two children, obviously there's you know,
you reminisce and you think about it. Now it's changing
to Costa Rica. Do we have an issue with that?
And how do we feel about the Golden People being evolved?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Oh? Good questions all overall? Well, I think I think
Coasta Rica. I think the change of scenery is great.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
You know, I'm you know, for what it's worth, it's just,
if anything, the logistics are harder to get people down
there and and get acclimated or whatnot.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
But I I'm the.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Reason why I'm a huge advocate of the show is
because I tell everyone it's unlike The Bachelor, bachsl are
At or Golden. Instead of twenty five people going after
one person, it's just like it is a it is
a pool of playing matchmaker, and.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
I feel like chances are higher meetings Like yeah, I
mean look at you guys, look at us, right, So
you have like you have these opportunities to meet people
and mingle and like you know, you get to see
some even sometimes you get to do like a little
scouting report you know before your season to be like.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Oh I saw you on your season or you know,
Josel Serena on her season before. And now I think
like the the success really comes out of the paradise.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
I mean you can see it.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
I think there's like eight or ten really really successful
couples that have kids.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Too excited about the Golden.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I'm fired up for it too.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Being on the beach, I think that's going to be
like another element that's going to be very interesting that
we've never had before. Obviously, But I mean what if
they start, I mean you could what if someone's a cougar,
like you know.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Is that what you guys are saying, they're mixing Golden
with we don't know.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
We don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
That's a lot of speculation around. Man, that's there's speculation
on if it's gonna even like be allowed, if there's
gonna be an opportunity for it, if they're just going
to keep them very separate, or if it's like you know,
for sure to do it.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
I think mix THEILM because it will be interesting and
then also like I feel like the Goldens can give advice,
like and then also like if they wanted to hook up, they.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Could, but and that would be very in.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Thirty years old.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
But also I feel like the younger ones could influence
the Goldens too, Like they could be like really romantic
or like you know, very into each other, and the
Goldens could like kind of see that and be like, Okay,
let me just go for it. I don't know, Yeah,
I like that.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I also think, because I was thinking about this as
we were talking, there's a much smaller pool of Golden
contestants than there is regular season. I don't think, well,
there's no way that they can align the structure of
like both groups the exact same for the whole season.
Maybe they'll throw down like some parents, like some people
that have been on the show, Like, yeah, get some
(20:29):
of the moms and dads with the regular contestants down there.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
I love it. I think it'd be great.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
I also think like our age people are kind of
like media trained and the Goldens are not. Like I
feel like there'd be more themselves and like we can
get some really outrageous things or like just maybe like
more sincere, genuine things out of them instead of like
our our generation, like we kind of know what not
to say on TV.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
I don't think they do.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
You know what we watched last night because we're gonna
be recapping it on this podcast. Is episode one of
season three of Bachelor Pad. Like the way people are
talking about each other and oh, just like yeah, mediumly targeting,
(21:19):
ugly you, Shanna is bad, your dress is hideous. Like
the way people are coming for each other and they're
like black out drunk. You can just tell like social
media and they're even referring to like the tabloids and
like people have just as you said, like naturally become
media trained, just for sure having social media.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
I remember waking up in the Bachelor House and like
when we started traveling and I would have yaeger for
breakfast like that is diabolical. I would have pizza and
yeager for breakfast is disgusting.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Well, because you were probably just like constantly like buzzed
or hungover.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Yeah, like my season of girls, they said that my
season of the girls on our Bachelor season was such
drinkers that so many of us we have all blacked
out at one point in time, Like we were all
just able to make good TV, but we don't remember
some of the episodes.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I mean, I think it's really difficult to do reality
TV and not drink. Like from day one of being
on the Bachelorette, Like the first thing I did was like, hey, like,
I'll take some bearrass to my room. I'm drinking.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
I'm I can't do it.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
Just the nerves in general, I mean, I would not
drink like that again, and I never drink like that
in my life before. That was just a super unusual situation.
But like the nerves and like being aware of the cameras,
you need a little something to fizzle that out.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Yeah, I'm not someone that drinks every day, but every
day on Bachelorette or so around Bauchlor and on Paradise
Sight was having a drink, drink like even if it
was just like a glass of wine at night, like
I was having something.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yes, like like us like we all failed on our
first attempt at finding love on the show, right, like.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Do you do?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
And you guys, you know you're a success from Paradise.
Do you remember how you felt going into that Paradise
if you were optimistic, if you were just like I'm
just doing this because it's fun.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Oh, we were just doing it because it was fun.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Yeah, I A little bit of me was like.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Originally I had like even my partner that I work
with at work, he was like, don't go to that man,
that's where all the rejects go.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Don't waste your time, don't do this.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
And I'm just like a part of me is like,
you know, my season was a little weird, right because
I made it to like right before Hometowns, but I
think did a lot of airtime, and I felt like
there was like a part of me where I'm like, well,
I feel like people didn't really get to see me
as a whole, and so I was like, well, let
me just there was just a couple of people had
my eye on in Paradise and we talked about the time,
(23:59):
like Raygon was like she wasn't on my like my
radar per se, but I knew she was gonna be there.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
But like when I went there and we.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Started to talk, and I started to like really like
again you start to really like just cultivate, you know,
a rapport and relationship with somebody, you're kind of like.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
All right, this is We were surprised with each other
very sure we out he was not on my list
and I was not on his of like people we
wanted to meet, and then when we met, it was
like there was chemistry there and then we were just
both really surprised, like, hmmm, I kind of want to
see Adam today, like I want to talk to him more.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Yeah, and the rest is history. Here we are chastre.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
How old are your boys now?
Speaker 6 (24:40):
Gates turned three in January and then Max will be
two in July.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Oh my gosh. Have you guys thought about how and
when you might introduce how you guys met or do
you think it'll Like.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
That's a good question because I I sometimes think about that.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I think about this too, to be honest, Like it's
like does it organically happen, like you work on social media?
Will like come up because eventually, like it might hit
and age where like they find they just like find out,
you know, like someone's brings it up to them on
a playdate. It's like, yeah, mommy was on the.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Bachelor, totally. I think we're just gonna for me. I
guess I'm just gonna let it happen organically. But what's
so funny is my mom brought a bunch of my
like keepsakes over like a month ago, and I pulled
out one of the magazines and it had like one
of my hometown dates on it where I was obviously
(25:33):
kissing someone that was not Adam, and I like held
it up really quick and I like put it down
and Gates said, you're kissing daddy, and I was.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Like, and You're like, yes, baby daddy, And then I.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
Just shoved that right back in there. I was like, Adam,
throw this into attic, like this is just too much.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
But yeah, I think it just I didn't even.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Think about that element of like we're both on TV
kissing other people.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
Yeah, curiously, and you don't think about that when you're
in your early twenties, Like that's just that's such a
far fetched idea, Like to think that I was going
to marry this man that I met on the beach
on Bachelor, Like I didn't envision us having children.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
It's life, just you know, yeah, and it happened.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
We always say to tell everyone we're like, we would
have never probably crossed past any other way. Like even
if I was like I was watching the show and
I like maybe DM Dur and I never went on it,
I don't think that it would even have It would
have never flourished into what it is today. So we're
thankful for the show, the show and the stage that
(26:44):
it gave us in order to kind of fall in.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Love and move forward.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
And I also want the boys if when the time
comes and they see our episode or see our first
date together, I want them to also think like mom
and Dad did really like cool things. They took chances,
and they did like silly stuff. They made mistakes, but
also like they live their life to the fullest and
(27:08):
like look what they did, and that's kind of like
how I hope that's kind of how I'm going to
approach it if when it gets brought up, is that, Yeah,
we want you guys to go live life, Go do
the wild, crazy stuff, Go do the stuff you never
thought you would do because you have no idea what's
going to happen. I just want you to have like
the best life and most fulfilling life ever. And if
(27:30):
had we not taken that chance, we wouldn't have have
met each other.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
I don't think, well, yeah, do you think you'll try
to proactively have the conversation or do you think you'll
just wait till it feels okay? Like these questions are
starting to get asked, Like now feels like the right time.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
I think when it, I think the ladder.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
I think the ladder because I'm just I don't know.
We have friends with kids, are I don't know, ten, twelve, thirteen.
I'm curious to know what age they even would start asking.
If they asked, yea, were you want did you meet
mommy on TV?
Speaker 4 (28:01):
And you're kind of like yeah, and you know you
bring it up, then I.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Think that's the best way to handle it, because like
they don't understand it, they're too young to understand how
the concept of it now, but like, yeah, we got
we got time.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
We got time totally, you have time. I you know,
even like I think with my parents, like the story
of how they met evolved and became more detailed as
I got older, Like certain elements were added, you know,
like and they met in a very like normal they
met like three friends and a party kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
So yeah, yes, exactly.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
All right, I'm gonna ask you guys both the same
question but in a different way. So Adam, you're gonna
go first. So if i'm let's say, I'm I'm Steve
and I'm going on this season of Paradise and I'm
and you and I are friends. I work for your company, Adam, Like,
what do you like? What should I do? Knowing what
(29:01):
I know now, knowing what you know now, and I want,
I don't know, like cliche like just be yourself.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
Yeah, I'd say I'd say go for it.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
You know, the old the younger you are, the more
risk you can kind of take in life.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
And I feel like, whether that's dating, whether it's doing
something financially with your job, whether that's you know, traveling
the world and doing whatever you want to do, I
would say say go for it, because and have an
open mind and let allow yourself to embrace everything that's
going to come your way. Don't hold up a guard,
be authentic, and you never know where it's going to land.
(29:39):
And so whether you use the show for you know
how depending how open you are to like the whole
concept of love and meeting other people. Just going with
an open mind, and if it happens, it happens, and
you never know where it's going to lead you, and
you know, if it doesn't work out, at least you
can say, guess what I did it, rather than doing
the opposite, which is dang, like you know, five years
(29:59):
ago this opportunity I should have done it, and then
now you're going to have that regret in the back
of your head.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
So go for it.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Good advice. I like that, Raven. What advice did you
give Tia before going on to Bachelor in Paradise?
Speaker 6 (30:13):
Oh, I said so much to Tiya. I'm trying to
like condense it into like two minutes. I think the
biggest thing was to keep your mind open, like you have.
I think a lot for girls, especially us girls, like
just where we grew up and stuff. You have a
picture in your head of like who you're going to marry,
or like the type of person you're going to marry,
(30:36):
and like you may not know that you're doing this,
but by doing that, you may be really limiting yourself
and limiting your family. Like Adam and I are so
different in so many ways. Like I if I had
just said, Okay, I'm going to marry this tope of
man and he's going to be from here and all that, like, we.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Would not have worked. I wouldn't have even like given
him a chance.
Speaker 6 (30:59):
But I was completely My mind was completely open, and
I think that's the biggest thing. I really just saw
the riding on the wall with Tia because I knew
Colton was going to be there and like that whole situation.
So I was like, just keep your mind open to
other people, like people you would never think in a
million years you would end up with, like talk to them,
(31:21):
just see if there's something there, because people can surprise you.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yeah, she was a lot of that.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
There was no talk like it was.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
And you guys came down and hosted a date which
I didn't physically see you guys because you couldn't actually
come to the pool side or wherever we were. Yes,
crazy though.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
That was the year after, right, right, yeah, it was
the year after. I'm just bummed.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
I asked him, I said, Hey, are we going to
make a cameo in Costa Rica.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
We're also trying to go to Coasta, ricad.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
This is the hot take.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
No, Batman, Bradne was built break by break by people
like us and you so guess thank you, let's lean
on that.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
That is my hot take is that I think the
successful couples should it be on a pedestal when it
comes to Bachelor in Paradise because we're all so different,
we all have such different lives, are all such different
couples that it can really prove a point of like, hey,
your person may be here, and that's what the show
(32:22):
needs to keep going, is that successful couples coming out
of it.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
But yes, well that was the issue with the last
two season is there was no successful couples, like they
had two years of like like it's like which is
just proving your point, Like they took a your off,
like they reroof like you need. The show is based
on producing love stories. As much as the drama is
important for the success of the show. The longevity I
think is partially based off the success of the relationships.
Speaker 6 (32:47):
Yes, and I don't know if you guys feel this way,
but if there's a couple that comes out of Paradise,
Adam and I are always rooting for them so hard,
like we are devastated by the factor the breakups.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
We like hate it so much.
Speaker 6 (32:59):
There was like one couple we were so invested in one,
like sucking each other's toes.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
On the we were like so we're like, you know what,
they can go the distance, and then when they broke up,
we were just like so sad about it.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
But did you guys think we would go to the distance?
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Oh yes, yes, Okay.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
The reservation. I was like, depends how fast Areena gets
her green car. But I'm like, it's gonna work. It's
gonna work. I promise it's gonna work.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
No.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
I always always always thought y'all would go the distance.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Y'all just made sense to me.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Do you think there is there anybody that you've watched,
like recently that you hope to see down there? And
if you're not paying attention, that's totally fine too.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
What do you mean to see down there?
Speaker 3 (33:40):
You know?
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Like, yeah, yeah, past seasons like.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Man, I'm gonna be honest, Joe Man, this last year
with the kids, like the kids go down You know.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
You guys don't really watch a lot of TV. That's
like you want we.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Have only ever watched movie together and it was last year.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Ship here, you've only watched the one movie together your
entire relationship. That's that's the craziest thing I've ever heard.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
Wow, We're on like a date with another couple. They're like, oh,
are you watching this? Are you watching this? And we're
like nope, nope, nope. And then we were like driving home,
We're like, you know what, maybe we should try to
watch TV because we can talk with other couples more,
because it's such a reoccurring theme with couples watching TV,
and like we we kind of get to a stand
(34:32):
because like when you're watching a show and you're so
invested in it and you're on a date with another couple.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
That don't don't watch TV, it's like there's like a
brick there.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Yeah, you're like, have you seen White Loatus?
Speaker 5 (34:42):
You're like no, Like, okay, well here, how about our kids?
Speaker 1 (34:47):
You're like yeah, but I bet you guys are a
better conversationalist just because you probably don't, you know, waste
your minds on television.
Speaker 7 (34:55):
Wait.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
What's the movie?
Speaker 6 (34:57):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (34:58):
It was Inside Out to Inside I was kind of
we both cried.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
It was super super relatable though to like I think
individuals and even like parents, you're kind of like, oh
my gosh, this is like you really can see that
from both of them.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
And then when we were like driving and we're like,
that was the best movie we've ever seen, and then
everyone was like, that's the only movie you guys have seen,
Like it's a good.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
That's a crazy, that's a crazy.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
With your kids.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
No, we went by ourselves, surprisingly, And the only two
shows we've ever watched together all the way through was
during COVID when I had him hostage and he was like,
I'm literally in hell right now being at my house
because he can't sit still. And we watched Breaking Bad
and we watched Ozarks, and now I was like, that's
(35:46):
the only two shows we've seen either.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
I haven't seen either of those. I mean, listen, I would,
I would if you were to binge any show. I
really love Succession, but like Game of Thrones is really
Thrones good want to be Okay, you'll become obsessed.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
But if you're not really well, no, you watch Breaking
bout an Ozark, so you're.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
Got.
Speaker 5 (36:10):
We're almost into that routine now where I'm like, once
the kids are down. I'm like, I want to spend
just one hour, just one hour. It doesn't have to
be I'm not talking like we don't have to sit
for three hours and go to bed at one am,
but like just take one hour and just chip away
at an episode every night for like a month, right,
But like I'm I want to do the.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Ones working towards watching TV like.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
Kids will just like I just tell you, like from
the time you get home to the time they go
to bed, then after that you're just like, dude, I
just I want to wind down and I'm ready to
go to bed, and so you know, life just gets busy,
but it's fun and you know, kids are the best
thing in the world. It's it's a lot of work
for parents, but like truly super rewarding. But like you know,
your whole your your your structure and the way you
(36:55):
your priorities really do change. But I think we're at
the point now where we can take a little bit
of a breathing and we're like, hey, let's start having
fun and watching things and connecting like like we used to.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
So it's fun. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Okay, Well we're running out of time. Any anything you
want to let our listeners know anything you got going on,
where to follow you, YadA, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
Yeah, we have we have a secret project we're a
part of right now.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
So we may be back on TV soon. You may.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
That's so excited.
Speaker 6 (37:30):
Yeah, you can always find us on Instagram. Of course,
we share. We've been doing a lot of couple's comedy
as of lately. Adam is such a store over there
and such a good sport for doing all the reels
with me.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
So okay, trauma best and try my best. I gotta
I gotta feel.
Speaker 5 (37:47):
Joe sits the bar really high, so I have to
I have to get I have to just be more active.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
So that's that's the key.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
I'm terrible at social media.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
Joe.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
I lean into Joe. We'll just be walking. All of
a sudden, he's filming something talking to about I'm like, oh,
what are you doing? He's like, I just posted a
real I'm like, just now, just what you just filmed?
He's like, yeah, No, Like I just you know, I
just felt it in the moment.

And we were already at the wedding, so I was like,
all right, it's perfect.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
We'll just we'll double up and just so easy on
you this year.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Yeah, I'll take you. I'll take what I can get.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I feel like, I mean, I don't have kids, obviously,
I feel like a Mother's Day wedding is like maybe
unusual to like have a wedding on Mother's Day weekend,
But maybe this is a hot take, like is it
kind of nice to just be like what I want
for Mother's Day is to just chill and not be
with my kids? Is that bad?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I mean, it was nice being on the beach.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
But Adam will tell you me both we get like
the first day we're there, we're like, yeah, kid free,
and then the second day we're like, oh, we wish
your kids were here, Like with with a nanny or
a grandma, but like still here, yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
There with help there, with reinforcement, yes, exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
How do you guys feel? Do you guys go to
Mexico every year?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Right?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Do you do like an anniversary in Mexico every year?
Is that a thing?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
We just go a lot because the so easy.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Yeah, we do a lot. We do. We partner with
one of the hotels that's there.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
And I mean we're in Dallas, like you're basically we're
two hours from Cabo, No. Two and a half from Cabo,
two from Portavar to two from Cancuns, so you can
just pop to each one and like and it's virtually
almost each of them is within an hour or two
hours of time change. So yeah, it's not crazy, but
it's like an easy, easy, you know, pop over.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
For us, it's like we could go to Florida or
even California. We could go to Mexico in less time
than going across.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
The true right, Like it would be like going to
Florida for us, Like it's like a two and a
half hour flight from New York to Florida exactly. But
then yeah, to go to Cabo, it's like five and
a half hours, whereas if it was closed. It's between
Florida and Cabba, like I'm probably choosing Cabo.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah, I've never been.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
We enjoy it really yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, Oh that's surprising to you.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I've just told you that just now. You know you
don't listen to me. How far is? How far is?
How far is Austin from Dallas?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
It's about three hour drive or it's a forty five
minute flight.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I'm going there the first week at June for my
brother's bachelor party. Oh nice, do you ever go out there?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:34):
I remember you. You posted something and you are like
restaurant recks. So yes, I'm gonna text you like three
that I really like. But I know you're a hard
critic when it comes to food. So i'm gonna give you.
I'm gonna give you the spectrum. I'm gonna give you, like,
obviously you got to hit the Texas barbecue. Yeah, and
then you need to have some kind of a swanky,
funky Austin local type thing.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
And then I'll give you something that's a little bougie
as well. So I'll give you the spectrum.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna need that. I'm gonna tell
you right now, I have reservations at the one restaurant.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Is he had. There's like ten or eleven of them going,
so he's like, yeah, that's.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
A big party.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
The one restaurant starts with a D. It's like Da
Day or something like that. And then I'm trying to
make reservations at this at x Coachina. Have you heard
of that?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah? I heard it?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Okay, all right, well you send you gotta send me that.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
I think we're talking about day. I think, I think,
I know it's Uh, it's pretty cool. That's a good spot.
Do you know where are you staying downtown?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah, I'm staying downtown Okay, And that we're going a
few days early to golf as well at the Omni
Barton Creek.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Dude, you're gonna love that course.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Speaking speaking of Omni, we have an update about our lives.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
My gosh, tell us oh our new.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
We're building a house up at the new Omnia up
in Crystal, Texas, which is like north here in Dallas.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
So we have a house that we're gonna build.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
And Joe, if you're a golfer, a unstering to have
to come visit us when we get it. All built
because our house is between the seventh and sixth hole.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
You got it, got it?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Good job.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Wait, we're like Adam's like when we first started dating,
I think we were literally on the beach on Paradise.
Adam was like, there's two when we get out of here,
there's two things we're.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Going to do.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
We're going to live off of Lover's Lane, which we
live off of Lover's Lane, and I think he was
just saying that to be romantic. And then he said,
and then we're going to live on a golf course.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
So when the PGA came to Frisco and started opening
lots and we got a lot, I was like, wow,
everything you have ever said, it's come to fruition.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
So maybe it wasn't just about romance. He meant it,
and he was like, this is what we're doing, and
he may happen. So you guys have been in Dallas
for how long?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
When did you move here? Twenty nineteen?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
The beginning of twenty nineteen, like end of twenty eighteen.
I've been here, okay.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Okay, and then this move will be like far, just
a little down the road.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Twenty five thirty minutes north to here.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Okay, that's not bad.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Yeah, it's the burbs, but it's fun. It has it's
its own low bubble up there.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Like where we live.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
We're we're close to all the great restaurants we have.
You know, we're close to the American Airlines, which is
where the Mavericks play, and like the Dowstars, the hockey team.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I mean, we're just super central here.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
We're like seven minutes from the airport and we're not
in the flight paths.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
You don't really hear the planes, which is cool.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
They call this area the incubator because everyone comes, like
to our area we're in right now, to have children
and they move out to the verbs.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
So that's exactly what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
How is it building a house from scratch wall? Wait
before you answer that, Adam, what's your handicap?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Like A ten?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, you're good. I get I knew I saw your swing.
You're good. Okay, how is it?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Joe's always start But I'm getting that. He's so hyper fixating.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I'm getting there, getting it. I'm a twenty eight right now,
but I will be a fucking ten next year, I promise.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
And I know you have a great frame and like,
there's no reason why you can't hit that.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
So I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I'm going to get there anyways. What is it like
building a house from scratch?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
It's you know, to be in to be honest with you,
I'm god, I'm the I feel like I'm the driver
and all this stuff. Like Raven's definitely like if I
I just say, hey, this is this, this is what
I'm envisioning in my head, and here are three options
that we can go with.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Which one do you like? And She'll go I like
number two or number three or number one, whatever it is.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
And that has made it probably really easy rather than also.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Like super cool about it. I'm like, you know what, cool,
we're moving all right, let's do it. You know, I
really don't have an opinion, so it actually makes it
really tough.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
On him because I don't have a strong opinion.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
And so yeah, if he can give me some options
so I can like see what I like or what
I don't like, and then we can go from there.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
But I feel like the best Joe, I like we
kind of both play that role, but like it'll be like, okay,
I've narrowed it down to like three couches and he'll
be like, I hate those two definitely that one. I'm like, right,
That's all I needed, was like someone to make that
final decision.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Yeah, totally. It's a It's been good though. Adam is
so ahead of the game.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
He's he he's got everything all the way from the
permits from this city approved to I mean, we have
everything done. We just need to start breaking.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
I think like it's that, you know, the only thing
that's left.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
We've We've are tile picked, We've I think only thing
we got to pick out is color, like small little
police like wallpaper off. Fixtures are done, appliances are done.
We're just waiting on the lender. We have one lender
that like fumbled on us, and so we're trying to
We have another one that's picking back up. But I
got a file last year's taxes, I have an extension.
So it's just like there's just dominoes that need to
(09:01):
happen beforehand in order to get it done. But like
I will say is if you're dealing with a really
good contractor or a builder that's done these types of homes,
it really like it helps streamline the process because I
think a lot of people do get overwhelmed. Yeah, and
we got a good wet. We're a really good team.
That's kind of like helping push this in a good direction.
(09:22):
So I think it'll be fun. It'll be it's gonna
be really exciting. It's gonna take.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
About like a year and a half. Maybe that's you're
gonna ask.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Okay, so you just come visit. Joe and Adam will
go go off and then we'll go to the omni Spa.
I love that, and we'll just hang out there for
the day.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Do they give you like so, is it like a
developer that's like, hey, these are like the five different
house styles that you can choose from, and then you
can pick and then like customize slightly accordingly.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
No, what you're referring to is that's what's called the
semi custom That's where it's like, hey, here are these
like five floor plans, and then you can pay like
your countertops, the color, you can maybe move like move
a toilet or a sink around.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Because I have a friend that that was what they did.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
This is one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
This is like you fill out a questionnaire form to
your architect and you ask you like, hey, what are
your hot buttons, what do you like how do you
envision your home? So you have a lot of like
inspo picks and vision boards that you share with them,
and then you talk to them about like small things
like hey, we have two kids, and so they're boys, right,
so let's have their own separate bathrooms.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
And they're so like they're also first of all, he
is so precise and like very tough a that he
even like measures the hallways like how does it feel
down the hallway? And like our architect, he's everyone that's
involved is so thoughtful, like they're like, are you right
(10:51):
handed or left handed? Because that depends on where we're
going to put the dishwasher and that's where we're going
to put your silverware drawer. Because that makes me since
like how you're moving around your house like that's wild
about yes, Like even the position of the sun and
how it hits through the windows. And I mean all,
(11:11):
I mean the smallest tiniest things that you can think
of have been really thought thought out.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
And I think it is because we have such a
good team.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
But also like this is his dream and he's so
type a Like even the house we're in right now,
Adam has taken such good care of it that whoever
gets this house is going to be blessed if we
sell it.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
True, Do you think that's why you don't care, because
you trust the fact that Adam's a maniac.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Yeah, I'll just.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Get it done.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Yes, I think I'm pretty easy going.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
And to be honest, if you've had this conversation with
a few of my girlfriends, is like I grew up
in a world where I didn't have I didn't know
anyone but one person that had a two story home,
and so like in my brain, I haven't caught up
to the thought of, like this is going to be
my life, and it's just really hard for me to
(12:10):
envision because my dream home was the home I have now,
a very small home with my kids running around and
having a happy marriage, like that was my envision. And
so to have like a big house on a golf
course you can customize it, like you're even thinking about
where the sun is hitting in the windows, Like.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
That is really really far fetched for me.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
But like I'm along for the ride, like I love it,
but it's just like my brain is not there.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Adam's like, well, we're doing it, so fucking get there.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
We have had an argument because he was like, you
don't care, and I'm like, it's not that I don't care,
it's just so hard for me to like get there.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
We're from two different worlds. It's like, but I'm cool
with it.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Like, well, also you felt like Adam was like gonna
mess it up. I feel like that just shows you
also trust him to make the decisions as well, because
if you didn't, you would be way more involved. Just instinctively.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Yes, And then like when he showed me like the
the outside of the house and the stone work and
like everything that he was envisioning, I loved it. He
has such good taste I was. I was like, yeah, absolutely,
we agreed on like all the colors, all the like tiling,
like we were just so in it.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
So it well, sometimes it's hard to envision too, when
it's like not in front of you, like I find picturing,
like you know, and it's complicated enough. You guys have
seen this movie when like.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
That's my favorite home, I'm also in. I'm also really
in the homes to anim We're very similar.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
He doesn't really like architecture and design scene at golf
at golf, but you know when Steve Martin is like
showing Meryl Streep the home and it's like all like
mapped out in the grass and she's like, Oh, it's beautiful.
I'm like, what are we looking at? Like it's just
lines in the grass. Like how does someone really know
like what the feeling is until it happens. But I
(14:02):
feel like that's also just like you can do it
or you can't. Yeah, I know you would. You would
be like I get it, And I love that home though.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
That's like my favorite type of home.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Yeah, that's a really nice, beautiful home. I agree.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
What are the elements of your home now that you're
like we have to bring this into the new home
and then what are the things where you're like we
don't have this and like I can't wait to have it.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
This house is just so different.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Yeah, it's so different.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
This is like so when we got this house is
like built in nineteen fifty two, but we gutted it
and then we like kind of modernize.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
It a little bit.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
For storage. We need much storage.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
We just did not even consider how much storage, especially
after having kids. It's like, holy Molly, how do we
accumulate all this stuff? And I'm sure you feel the
same story of like being a quote unquote influencer on
social media, you get sent so much stuff all the time,
and it's just like you need a place to house everything.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
We have a six hundred and fifty square foot apartment.
You know how many boxes.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
It's insane maximum efficiency right now.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah. We really do our best to
keep this place organized. But like even my sister was
here and she's like, it's crazy. You get like three
boxes and you you feel it in the space because
it's so small, like you like it's a little messy,
and it feels so cluttered. Like I'm like just to
have a room, Like do you think you're gonna have
any sort of like office or like storage room that
strictly meant for like influencer stuff, content, pr boxes, all
(15:39):
the things.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yeah, I definitely it's already.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I was looking at and being like are we we
have that?
Speaker 5 (15:46):
There's like I don't know, there's neat things, Like it's
it's like I call it a one and a half story,
so it's all the basic living spaces is down below.
We also have a game room that's like detached from
the family room, so that way like the kids can
be playing in there and you can have an eye
on the watch. But then where the kids sleep. They
sleep actually upstairs and there's only like two or three
bedrooms upstairs, and then downstairs is like you know, the
(16:08):
primary bedroom office, there's you know, a powder room, and
then we also have a casita which is for our guests.
So that's to mimic virtually like a hotel room. So
it has like a king sized bed, has a coffee bar,
has a washer and dryer, has you know, a nice shower,
and like sinks or whatever. So that way when in
laws come or guests come, they feel like, hey, like
they're in.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Their own separate Yeah. Yeah, the house, so they're away
from the kids. If they want to break they can
go over there.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
So that's right.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Yeah, that is.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Of course, Joe, I couldn't do it out a pool,
and I'm gona have a pizza oven just for you.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Wow, we're gonna be staying in that casida.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah, we will be there. You're gonna come outside and
Joe's going to be in your pool eating pizza. Okay,
welcome home.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Let's pivot a little. Let's pivot to Bachelor in Paradise.
It's it's coming back on the air filming Now and Rica.
How long was it since your season? What year was that?
Speaker 6 (17:05):
You remember? Right?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Seventeen seventeen because I was eight.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Years Yeah, it's been eight years since we exited the
beach together.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
What season were you? Do you remember what number it was?
I think that would make sense because and then you
would have been five, and then there was six a
year off, and then seven is when we met.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Ye, So what season is on now?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
This will be season I think ten because there was
two seasons after us and then they took a year off.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, right, okay, so getting getting engaged on the show,
not being married, having two children, obviously there's you know,
you reminisce and you think about it. Now it's changing
to Costa Rica. Do we have an issue with that?
And how do we feel about the Golden People being evolved?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Oh? Good questions all overall? Well, I think I think
Coasta Rica. I think the change of scenery is great.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
You know, I'm you know, for what it's worth, it's just,
if anything, the logistics are harder to get people down
there and and get acclimated or whatnot.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
But I I'm the.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Reason why I'm a huge advocate of the show is
because I tell everyone it's unlike The Bachelor, bachsl are
At or Golden. Instead of twenty five people going after
one person, it's just like it is a it is
a pool of playing matchmaker, and.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
I feel like chances are higher meetings Like yeah, I
mean look at you guys, look at us, right, So
you have like you have these opportunities to meet people
and mingle and like you know, you get to see
some even sometimes you get to do like a little
scouting report you know before your season to be like.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Oh I saw you on your season or you know,
Josel Serena on her season before. And now I think
like the the success really comes out of the paradise.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
I mean you can see it.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
I think there's like eight or ten really really successful
couples that have kids.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Too excited about the Golden.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I'm fired up for it too.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Being on the beach, I think that's going to be
like another element that's going to be very interesting that
we've never had before. Obviously, But I mean what if
they start, I mean you could what if someone's a cougar,
like you know.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Is that what you guys are saying, they're mixing Golden
with we don't know.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
We don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
That's a lot of speculation around. Man, that's there's speculation
on if it's gonna even like be allowed, if there's
gonna be an opportunity for it, if they're just going
to keep them very separate, or if it's like you know,
for sure to do it.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
I think mix THEILM because it will be interesting and
then also like I feel like the Goldens can give advice,
like and then also like if they wanted to hook up, they.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Could, but and that would be very in.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Thirty years old.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
But also I feel like the younger ones could influence
the Goldens too, Like they could be like really romantic
or like you know, very into each other, and the
Goldens could like kind of see that and be like, Okay,
let me just go for it. I don't know, Yeah,
I like that.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I also think, because I was thinking about this as
we were talking, there's a much smaller pool of Golden
contestants than there is regular season. I don't think, well,
there's no way that they can align the structure of
like both groups the exact same for the whole season.
Maybe they'll throw down like some parents, like some people
that have been on the show, Like, yeah, get some
(20:29):
of the moms and dads with the regular contestants down there.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
I love it. I think it'd be great.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
I also think like our age people are kind of
like media trained and the Goldens are not. Like I
feel like there'd be more themselves and like we can
get some really outrageous things or like just maybe like
more sincere, genuine things out of them instead of like
our our generation, like we kind of know what not
to say on TV.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
I don't think they do.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
You know what we watched last night because we're gonna
be recapping it on this podcast. Is episode one of
season three of Bachelor Pad. Like the way people are
talking about each other and oh, just like yeah, mediumly targeting,
(21:19):
ugly you, Shanna is bad, your dress is hideous. Like
the way people are coming for each other and they're
like black out drunk. You can just tell like social
media and they're even referring to like the tabloids and
like people have just as you said, like naturally become
media trained, just for sure having social media.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
I remember waking up in the Bachelor House and like
when we started traveling and I would have yaeger for
breakfast like that is diabolical. I would have pizza and
yeager for breakfast is disgusting.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Well, because you were probably just like constantly like buzzed
or hungover.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Yeah, like my season of girls, they said that my
season of the girls on our Bachelor season was such
drinkers that so many of us we have all blacked
out at one point in time, Like we were all
just able to make good TV, but we don't remember
some of the episodes.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I mean, I think it's really difficult to do reality
TV and not drink. Like from day one of being
on the Bachelorette, Like the first thing I did was like, hey, like,
I'll take some bearrass to my room. I'm drinking.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
I'm I can't do it.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
Just the nerves in general, I mean, I would not
drink like that again, and I never drink like that
in my life before. That was just a super unusual situation.
But like the nerves and like being aware of the cameras,
you need a little something to fizzle that out.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Yeah, I'm not someone that drinks every day, but every
day on Bachelorette or so around Bauchlor and on Paradise
Sight was having a drink, drink like even if it
was just like a glass of wine at night, like
I was having something.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yes, like like us like we all failed on our
first attempt at finding love on the show, right, like.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Do you do?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
And you guys, you know you're a success from Paradise.
Do you remember how you felt going into that Paradise
if you were optimistic, if you were just like I'm
just doing this because it's fun.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Oh, we were just doing it because it was fun.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Yeah, I A little bit of me was like.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Originally I had like even my partner that I work
with at work, he was like, don't go to that man,
that's where all the rejects go.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Don't waste your time, don't do this.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
And I'm just like a part of me is like,
you know, my season was a little weird, right because
I made it to like right before Hometowns, but I
think did a lot of airtime, and I felt like
there was like a part of me where I'm like, well,
I feel like people didn't really get to see me
as a whole, and so I was like, well, let
me just there was just a couple of people had
my eye on in Paradise and we talked about the time,
(23:59):
like Raygon was like she wasn't on my like my
radar per se, but I knew she was gonna be there.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
But like when I went there and we.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Started to talk, and I started to like really like
again you start to really like just cultivate, you know,
a rapport and relationship with somebody, you're kind of like.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
All right, this is We were surprised with each other
very sure we out he was not on my list
and I was not on his of like people we
wanted to meet, and then when we met, it was
like there was chemistry there and then we were just
both really surprised, like, hmmm, I kind of want to
see Adam today, like I want to talk to him more.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Yeah, and the rest is history. Here we are chastre.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
How old are your boys now?
Speaker 6 (24:40):
Gates turned three in January and then Max will be
two in July.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Oh my gosh. Have you guys thought about how and
when you might introduce how you guys met or do
you think it'll Like.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
That's a good question because I I sometimes think about that.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I think about this too, to be honest, Like it's
like does it organically happen, like you work on social media?
Will like come up because eventually, like it might hit
and age where like they find they just like find out,
you know, like someone's brings it up to them on
a playdate. It's like, yeah, mommy was on the.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Bachelor, totally. I think we're just gonna for me. I
guess I'm just gonna let it happen organically. But what's
so funny is my mom brought a bunch of my
like keepsakes over like a month ago, and I pulled
out one of the magazines and it had like one
of my hometown dates on it where I was obviously
(25:33):
kissing someone that was not Adam, and I like held
it up really quick and I like put it down
and Gates said, you're kissing daddy, and I was.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Like, and You're like, yes, baby daddy, And then I.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
Just shoved that right back in there. I was like, Adam,
throw this into attic, like this is just too much.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
But yeah, I think it just I didn't even.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Think about that element of like we're both on TV
kissing other people.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
Yeah, curiously, and you don't think about that when you're
in your early twenties, Like that's just that's such a
far fetched idea, Like to think that I was going
to marry this man that I met on the beach
on Bachelor, Like I didn't envision us having children.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
It's life, just you know, yeah, and it happened.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
We always say to tell everyone we're like, we would
have never probably crossed past any other way. Like even
if I was like I was watching the show and
I like maybe DM Dur and I never went on it,
I don't think that it would even have It would
have never flourished into what it is today. So we're
thankful for the show, the show and the stage that
(26:44):
it gave us in order to kind of fall in.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Love and move forward.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
And I also want the boys if when the time
comes and they see our episode or see our first
date together, I want them to also think like mom
and Dad did really like cool things. They took chances,
and they did like silly stuff. They made mistakes, but
also like they live their life to the fullest and
(27:08):
like look what they did, and that's kind of like
how I hope that's kind of how I'm going to
approach it if when it gets brought up, is that, Yeah,
we want you guys to go live life, Go do
the wild, crazy stuff, Go do the stuff you never
thought you would do because you have no idea what's
going to happen. I just want you to have like
the best life and most fulfilling life ever. And if
(27:30):
had we not taken that chance, we wouldn't have have
met each other.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
I don't think, well, yeah, do you think you'll try
to proactively have the conversation or do you think you'll
just wait till it feels okay? Like these questions are
starting to get asked, Like now feels like the right time.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
I think when it, I think the ladder.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
I think the ladder because I'm just I don't know.
We have friends with kids, are I don't know, ten, twelve, thirteen.
I'm curious to know what age they even would start asking.
If they asked, yea, were you want did you meet
mommy on TV?
Speaker 4 (28:01):
And you're kind of like yeah, and you know you
bring it up, then I.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Think that's the best way to handle it, because like
they don't understand it, they're too young to understand how
the concept of it now, but like, yeah, we got
we got time.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
We got time totally, you have time. I you know,
even like I think with my parents, like the story
of how they met evolved and became more detailed as
I got older, Like certain elements were added, you know,
like and they met in a very like normal they
met like three friends and a party kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
So yeah, yes, exactly.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
All right, I'm gonna ask you guys both the same
question but in a different way. So Adam, you're gonna
go first. So if i'm let's say, I'm I'm Steve
and I'm going on this season of Paradise and I'm
and you and I are friends. I work for your company, Adam, Like,
what do you like? What should I do? Knowing what
(29:01):
I know now, knowing what you know now, and I want,
I don't know, like cliche like just be yourself.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
Yeah, I'd say I'd say go for it.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
You know, the old the younger you are, the more
risk you can kind of take in life.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
And I feel like, whether that's dating, whether it's doing
something financially with your job, whether that's you know, traveling
the world and doing whatever you want to do, I
would say say go for it, because and have an
open mind and let allow yourself to embrace everything that's
going to come your way. Don't hold up a guard,
be authentic, and you never know where it's going to land.
(29:39):
And so whether you use the show for you know
how depending how open you are to like the whole
concept of love and meeting other people. Just going with
an open mind, and if it happens, it happens, and
you never know where it's going to lead you, and
you know, if it doesn't work out, at least you
can say, guess what I did it, rather than doing
the opposite, which is dang, like you know, five years
(29:59):
ago this opportunity I should have done it, and then
now you're going to have that regret in the back
of your head.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
So go for it.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Good advice. I like that, Raven. What advice did you
give Tia before going on to Bachelor in Paradise?
Speaker 6 (30:13):
Oh, I said so much to Tiya. I'm trying to
like condense it into like two minutes. I think the
biggest thing was to keep your mind open, like you have.
I think a lot for girls, especially us girls, like
just where we grew up and stuff. You have a
picture in your head of like who you're going to marry,
or like the type of person you're going to marry,
(30:36):
and like you may not know that you're doing this,
but by doing that, you may be really limiting yourself
and limiting your family. Like Adam and I are so
different in so many ways. Like I if I had
just said, Okay, I'm going to marry this tope of
man and he's going to be from here and all that, like, we.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Would not have worked. I wouldn't have even like given
him a chance.
Speaker 6 (30:59):
But I was completely My mind was completely open, and
I think that's the biggest thing. I really just saw
the riding on the wall with Tia because I knew
Colton was going to be there and like that whole situation.
So I was like, just keep your mind open to
other people, like people you would never think in a
million years you would end up with, like talk to them,
(31:21):
just see if there's something there, because people can surprise you.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yeah, she was a lot of that.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
There was no talk like it was.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
And you guys came down and hosted a date which
I didn't physically see you guys because you couldn't actually
come to the pool side or wherever we were. Yes,
crazy though.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
That was the year after, right, right, yeah, it was
the year after. I'm just bummed.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
I asked him, I said, Hey, are we going to
make a cameo in Costa Rica.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
We're also trying to go to Coasta, ricad.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
This is the hot take.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
No, Batman, Bradne was built break by break by people
like us and you so guess thank you, let's lean
on that.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
That is my hot take is that I think the
successful couples should it be on a pedestal when it
comes to Bachelor in Paradise because we're all so different,
we all have such different lives, are all such different
couples that it can really prove a point of like, hey,
your person may be here, and that's what the show
(32:22):
needs to keep going, is that successful couples coming out
of it.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
But yes, well that was the issue with the last
two season is there was no successful couples, like they
had two years of like like it's like which is
just proving your point, Like they took a your off,
like they reroof like you need. The show is based
on producing love stories. As much as the drama is
important for the success of the show. The longevity I
think is partially based off the success of the relationships.
Speaker 6 (32:47):
Yes, and I don't know if you guys feel this way,
but if there's a couple that comes out of Paradise,
Adam and I are always rooting for them so hard,
like we are devastated by the factor the breakups.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
We like hate it so much.
Speaker 6 (32:59):
There was like one couple we were so invested in one,
like sucking each other's toes.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
On the we were like so we're like, you know what,
they can go the distance, and then when they broke up,
we were just like so sad about it.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
But did you guys think we would go to the distance?
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Oh yes, yes, Okay.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
The reservation. I was like, depends how fast Areena gets
her green car. But I'm like, it's gonna work. It's
gonna work. I promise it's gonna work.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
No.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
I always always always thought y'all would go the distance.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Y'all just made sense to me.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Do you think there is there anybody that you've watched,
like recently that you hope to see down there? And
if you're not paying attention, that's totally fine too.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
What do you mean to see down there?
Speaker 3 (33:40):
You know?
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Like, yeah, yeah, past seasons like.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Man, I'm gonna be honest, Joe Man, this last year
with the kids, like the kids go down You know.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
You guys don't really watch a lot of TV. That's
like you want we.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Have only ever watched movie together and it was last year.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Ship here, you've only watched the one movie together your
entire relationship. That's that's the craziest thing I've ever heard.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
Wow, We're on like a date with another couple. They're like, oh,
are you watching this? Are you watching this? And we're
like nope, nope, nope. And then we were like driving home,
We're like, you know what, maybe we should try to
watch TV because we can talk with other couples more,
because it's such a reoccurring theme with couples watching TV,
and like we we kind of get to a stand
(34:32):
because like when you're watching a show and you're so
invested in it and you're on a date with another couple.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
That don't don't watch TV, it's like there's like a
brick there.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Yeah, you're like, have you seen White Loatus?
Speaker 5 (34:42):
You're like no, Like, okay, well here, how about our kids?
Speaker 1 (34:47):
You're like yeah, but I bet you guys are a
better conversationalist just because you probably don't, you know, waste
your minds on television.
Speaker 7 (34:55):
Wait.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
What's the movie?
Speaker 6 (34:57):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (34:58):
It was Inside Out to Inside I was kind of
we both cried.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
It was super super relatable though to like I think
individuals and even like parents, you're kind of like, oh
my gosh, this is like you really can see that
from both of them.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
And then when we were like driving and we're like,
that was the best movie we've ever seen, and then
everyone was like, that's the only movie you guys have seen,
Like it's a good.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
That's a crazy, that's a crazy.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
With your kids.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
No, we went by ourselves, surprisingly, And the only two
shows we've ever watched together all the way through was
during COVID when I had him hostage and he was like,
I'm literally in hell right now being at my house
because he can't sit still. And we watched Breaking Bad
and we watched Ozarks, and now I was like, that's
(35:46):
the only two shows we've seen either.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
I haven't seen either of those. I mean, listen, I would,
I would if you were to binge any show. I
really love Succession, but like Game of Thrones is really
Thrones good want to be Okay, you'll become obsessed.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
But if you're not really well, no, you watch Breaking
bout an Ozark, so you're.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
Got.
Speaker 5 (36:10):
We're almost into that routine now where I'm like, once
the kids are down. I'm like, I want to spend
just one hour, just one hour. It doesn't have to
be I'm not talking like we don't have to sit
for three hours and go to bed at one am,
but like just take one hour and just chip away
at an episode every night for like a month, right,
But like I'm I want to do the.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Ones working towards watching TV like.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
Kids will just like I just tell you, like from
the time you get home to the time they go
to bed, then after that you're just like, dude, I
just I want to wind down and I'm ready to
go to bed, and so you know, life just gets busy,
but it's fun and you know, kids are the best
thing in the world. It's it's a lot of work
for parents, but like truly super rewarding. But like you know,
your whole your your your structure and the way you
(36:55):
your priorities really do change. But I think we're at
the point now where we can take a little bit
of a breathing and we're like, hey, let's start having
fun and watching things and connecting like like we used to.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
So it's fun. Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 5 (37:47):
Joe sits the bar really high, so I have to

Speaker 1 (37:55):
I'm terrible at social media.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
Joe.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
I lean into Joe. We'll just be walking. All of
a sudden, he's filming something talking to about I'm like, oh,
