off after two we were busy, okay? Can we talk
about that we weren't busy. If you have a fifteen
(00:25):
minute podcast, it's called the fifteen realize that. But it
was only two minutes. Okay. So what I've done is
I've asked Josh to make special production for the days
when we decide to do a two minute podcast, So
it's the two minute morning that's just enabling your bad behavior.
What if you turned on sixty minutes to see the
news and it was three minutes. As long as there's
(00:45):
a good story, I mean, here's what I'll say. I
didn't see any of you yesterday. Well, we were all busy,
so was I. I I had stuff to do. I was
running late, so I had two minutes. Okay, alright, alright,
what did you say in the two minutes? What did
you do in two minutes? I suggests did people check
out all of the other amazing fifteen minute morning shows
that we've done over the last two years with some
great ones. We talked about hookers, one day we talked
(01:07):
about a bunch of stops. Okay, there's some great plug
our other podcasts I did not that would have taken.
How had you plugged the other podcast, it would have
been the three minute podcast alright. Anyway, So we apologize

thirteen minutes to go. Well, welcome to New York. You
you were in New York several years ago, because I
remember meeting Tom and you were. Were you here that time?
I don't think so. But how often do you come
(02:11):
to New York City? So often? We can We love
this city as we try as we do everything we
can to leave New York. People are trying to get in,
trying to get in. It's difficult. It's very difficult getting
in the States. Why what do they mean do they
scrutinize you before you But it's it's you know, all
the fingers and pictures and I'm just waiting for you,
(02:36):
you know, getting there, and you can't get get in

you're in New York now, you made it. Thank you
for coming to see us, Thanks for having us. We
appreciate it. Now. We actually talked about you guys on
our show on the radio show too. We heard we
heard so the thing about Tom and they do a
morning show together, a very very successful morning show. Mind you,
(02:58):
you've been working on the radio together on your show
for how long? Two years? Years? We known each other
for eight or nine since you got married and I
got in my last relationship and got kids. Okay, but
you're both you were both single and started to date
each other. Yes one year ago. No, No, we were
not single. I'm so sorry you're supposed to say. Okay, yeah,
(03:24):
but this is the States. We don't have an in
Awegianly we can say whatever. You won't you can you
can actually be honest, are you? Okay? I was married
for two years and we started working together. Um, you
had you have two children, and um we fell in love.
It happens, Yeah, it happens. She has been liking me
(03:47):
for quite some years. Actually, Tom, have you been liking her? Yeah,
in a way, but she was too young for me. Yeah,
he's a bit older. Twelve years of difference. That's perfect.
And now she's no longer twelve years younger. Okay, Okay,
let's get to the meat and potatoes, as we say,
you have meat and potatoes and Norway. Right. Uh. So
(04:10):
you started working with each other and then you you've
you started dating each other after you started working together. Yeah, okay,
after they started the morning show together. Right, so you've
been doing the morning show. Actually, you've been dating each
other while doing the morning show for how long? Ah?
One and a half? Half year? Half okay, and your
listeners have no idea. They're getting to it. I think
(04:33):
they're getting to it because we're not hiding it anymore.
We had to do it for a year because of
the family, my ex, my kids, and friends in school,
and you know, it's a delicate situation, situation, So what
are you saying that you're no longer hiding that makes
the listeners think maybe something's going on. I think when
(04:54):
I say on air, yeah, you went to my house
yesterday and I things you were snoring while Yeah, you
know what you can't You can't fake chemistry, right, Yeah,
you can sense when there is love. I think, Yeah,
but what about mornings you go in and maybe you
(05:14):
had a disagreement the night before. I'm not saying that
you have them, but they happen in the ships. Um,
you still have a show to put on. You have
to like smile and do it. But you get through
those days, right. I think working in a radio, working
on being on air, it's like being your own psychologists psychologists.
(05:34):
So if I have a problem, I could just talk
about it then people can call and come up with solutions. Yeah.
I am often a bit moody in the morning. So
when we get up and we're driving together, uh to work,
I can be a bit mad and I'm angry. He
(05:56):
loves to talk like I'm not a more person, but
that's right. Yeah, I'm not. I got bad news for you.
But you're doing a morning radio show, but you're not alone.
She's a little coffee and you're okay. Alright. I love
this idea. I think it's so wonderful because, yes, because
(06:17):
it is going to force you, guys to be more
healthy in your communication than I think the average couple
would have to be, because you not only have to
make sure the relationship works, but you have to make
sure your jobs work. And sometimes that's a higher stake.
Sometimes you're more paranoid about making sure you can keep
a job than a relationship. So this is going to
be I think healthy and good. We tested it out
(06:39):
now for a year. We've been together on work and
private times, and we're getting along. Questions together. Now, I
have a question if you guys are doing say an
event and appearance whatever, and she gets hit on it,
you do because you're sick perfect anyway up past forty Um,
(07:06):
I'm feeling pretty secure on myself and I got a
beautiful girl. I know that jealous, but I want to
have a girl that guys are looking at. I think jealous,
Yes I had, yeah, yeah, I like to take care
of you, but well, a bit jealous, but I might ranting.
(07:26):
Although you guys have it easy if you have a
relationship where nothing that happens at home gets on the
air because you can't talk about it. But once you
come out that you have a relationship, you're gonna start
fighting over what you can talk about on the radio
because he's gonna want to say, oh, that argument we
had would be a great topic, and you're gonna say,
we can't talk about that, it's too personal, and you're
(07:47):
gonna fight more about what you bring on the air.
I've been holding back. You have wanting to talk more
about our relationship. Well, i'll tell you what. Let's you're
out right now. What is there that you would like
to talk out that you cannot talk about on the
air back in Norway? Like what what does she do
that makes you a little nuts? Or what does he
(08:09):
do that you really want to take it to the listeners?
All know? I got this small thing, Elvis is you know,
It's it's Saturday, Saturday afternoon, and she's she's taking out
the vacuum cleaner. I need to be warned. So it's
driving me mad and I feel like now I have
to do some house cleaning. It's Saturday, you're off your
(08:32):
your you're you don't want to work and to you,
vacuuming is work. It's his Saturday off like and for
you is vacuuming like getting his house clean clears your
brain a little bit. It's therapy for me. Yes. Yeah.
And he's he's so lazy at home. He never cooks,
he never he never contributes. Yeah to the house. But
(08:53):
I do know you if you have a problem with
with your sing machine or with your washing machine in
the car and changing tires, I think you guys, Look,
(09:16):
there's nothing wrong in a relationship where each person has
the role that they take care of things. That's fine.
I get my relationship. I do the cooking, do I
clean every once in a while, Alex, what does Alex do?
He you can clean. Alex fixes fixes ship that breaks.
You know, he's there. I mean, it doesn't bother. He
(09:36):
fixed your stove. Okay. The thing is, and you were
saying that you were you you like you like to
vacuum and clean the house. But because it clears your mind,
so you don't need for him to help you, you don't.
You don't mind doing it by yourself, So let her
clean and you sit there and just watch TV with
your hand down your pants and don't worry about it,
but unfair, I got this bad conscience. You know that's
good though, that's good. I want to help her maybe so,
(09:58):
but maybe you help her win it when it's good
for you. So like you know, and on Saturday, it's
like you, that's when you clear your brain. Maybe Tom,
it's like a weeknight, that's when you clear your brain.
At least something gets done for both of you. But
I think we get along very well. I think we
do that because we like each other. And it's it's
(10:19):
all back to the real love thing. Sounds like a cliche,
doesn't it finish what you're finish what you were saying.
I love where you're going. I think to find love
we have to take some chances. We took our chance
because we believed in it. We've been knowing each other
(10:40):
for as I said, seven or eight years. And now
this giant leap going from my house. I'm not leaving
my kids. I still got them leaving my ex. It's difficult,
it's tough, it's hard. It's been a rough year. And
you did the same you were married. But but it
feels right then there's nothing, there's nothing more to say
(11:03):
about it. It's perfect. Well, look you know all all
relationships have obstacles, whether it's you have to see each
other every hour of the day, or one person likes
to clean when the other one doesn't, or we all
have obstacles in our relationships, and it's getting around those
obstacles that make us feel victorious and we've we've won.
We win because at the end of the day, you
both win. You have each other, you love each other.
(11:25):
I'm gonna I'm gonna cry. I think it's awesome. I
think I think it's awesome. I think, Bethany, to back
up what you said earlier, how cool this is. This
is a great story. I like hearing that. So I think, Bethany,
what we're learning here is you need to shack up
with one of the guys on the show. Single. Yeah,
that's the shame. Actually be careful when you ask it
(11:48):
like that. She gets very maligerent. I'm single. I'm single
honestly because I'm working really really hard at work stuff.
And also, like the last person I was with sort
of like I had some trust issues and then he
was like, no, no, I will heal your trust issues.
You can trust me, And then I did and it
(12:08):
turns out he was also dating someone else that all
of my trust issues were like blown up, so now
I'm just like done. On our show, we actually celebrate
the fact that you're you choose to be single or
you choose to be with someone else. Like if someone
looks at Bethany says you're single, oh, really you? Because
they usually say it as like what's wrong with you?
(12:30):
That no one wants you? That's sort of the thing,
And I'm like, I don't know. I think I think
of Bethany as being single because of everything that's right
about her. Because look, sometimes in life, as you both know,
you got to like pull it down and just take
care of yourself. You have to have a relationship with
you and be healthy with yourself before you can be
healthy with other people because otherwise disaster or else. We
(12:51):
have to be very what can I say, trust that
this love is real? Yeah, there you go. So that's
the other part of what you're saying. So we believe
in our love, and I think that is we can feel.
I can feel that in our everyday life, and I
I love that he annoys me, like I I love
our arguments. That makes kind of yeah, you guy, you
(13:20):
guys are still sing together now? Cut. Her father does
this exactly the same thing to her mother. Teasers are
all the time, and I think there's something in that.
You're so fun to tease because it's it's all done,
it's it's all done in fun, and you do it
(13:40):
because you're like just kind of playing with each other
because you know, at the end of the day, you
love each other. At the end of any argument, you
know you're still going to be with each other, You're
still going to be committed with each other. So I
love the fact that we spent some time with Tom
and Ann. They're listeners that listen to P five radio
in Norway, have no clue, do us a favor, keep
it to your show, don't tell anyone, don't put it
(14:02):
on social media. Let's not embarrass them. Why not. I
think that they should go on on social media back
home and just say, hey, listeners, you need to hear this.
H So you know it could leak out from New
York and go all the way across the ocean. Are
you okay with that? Okay with that? With a fantastic
breakthrough for our relationship, this could be This could be
(14:23):
the best way to come out in the closet with
the relationship. Yes, that's how we went down. Fifteen minute
morning show
