Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live across the world right now. This is the
John Jay and Rich radio program. You seem yeah, oh,
you seem I'm trying to I'm trying to ease you
into it as this is a new experience.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
It is a new experience, so thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
So this is the Couple's Therapy podcast, brought to you
by John Jay and Rich and currently Goldwater Brewing as well.
My name is Nick. I'm the executive producer for John
Jay and Rich. This is my wife Caitlin.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Do you see again? You seem very apprehensive.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I mean, this stress is like your thing, so I'm
just along for the ride.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
It's kind of my thing. I do think maybe there
should be a little bit of an introduction on how
this all like developed. We were looking for ways to
branch out like the John Jay and Rich show, like
create a big umbrella, right and give more opportunities for growth,
(01:12):
like for people, for the show itself and for the
people within the show. And Sundays are a pretty it's
a pretty quiet day as far as podcast goes, and
we kind of decided as a collective unit, like it
would be interesting as everyone on the show we get
along so great, but we're all different, Right, we're all
(01:35):
different ages, We're all we all are different stages in
our lives. We all like are in relationships in some
form or fashion, and it would just be interesting to
hear the stories of those relationships. Are you following that?
Did you tune me out? Because I'm doing my whole stick?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
No, I love the stick. The dog. I'm waiting for
her to.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I know she is. To set the stage a little bit,
our dog is going through what I like to call
her sideways period. She's like in the upside down currently,
Like she's she's not like a bunch of medications and
we think she's getting better, but you know, we'll.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
See she's a little she's an old girl.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, old is the nicest way to put it. And
then to also set the stage, we have two children.
They're young, four and three. She's almost well, our four
year old's almost five. I would say today is maybe
one of those days. Is a little difficult being a parent,
(02:45):
h definite. Yeah, Like generally both our kids are amazing,
and they are loving and they're nice and they're kind tonight,
like I don't know if they're a ever gonna go
to bed, be allow me to ever go to bed
and see if we can stay in the same house anymore.
(03:09):
That bad it was. It was not like the most
fun night.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I mean I was told that I wasn't a good mom,
but not by Nick, by my child.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, and I had to carry her like a half
mile out of school just because she you know, we
ruled me.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
But you know what, we got them to bed.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
They're all, okay, yeah, they're doing Do you wanna do
you want to introduce yourself at all? Do you wanna
tell the dozens of people that are downloading this and
what you do or anything about you?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I mean, I'm happy to I don't know what they
want to hear, because my assumption is is that the
people that are listening are probably our family and friends,
or it's maybe someone who already like follows you on
social media. I'm not sure. But my name's Caitlin. I'm
Nick's wife. We've been married since no one can see
(04:06):
you twenty seventeen. Yes, I was just like, somebody can
see me, like I'm here to introduce myself, but yeah,
I have never I talk on a microphone a lot,
like I don't mind public speaking, but this is a
different format that I'm like this is something for Nick's work,
and it's just like yeah, well.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
And generally, like for something like this, I don't like
doing it at home, right, Like it like you kind
of want to be out of your comfort zone a
little bit and it helps, you know, like if you're
sitting like we are, on our couch in our living room,
there are a million things going through your head like,
oh my god, like we have to go to bed
in twenty minutes. Oh my god, I could be watching
(04:50):
How I Met your Mother again, you know, like there also.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Why I turned on this nice all beyond?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
So yeah, yeah, she as we were sitting down, she goes,
don't you want to make your guests feel welcome? And
I was like, I don't know really what that means.
And then when I came back in, she had brought
up what looks like an AI generated image of the
ocean rather than you know, the actual crashing waves. But
(05:16):
why not? You did great? Thanks, you did great. Yeah.
So we have been married since twenty seventeen. Like I said,
we've got two beautiful children, a lot of We've been
through a lot of life events in you know, our
in our time together. We've lived in Arizona for I
(05:37):
told you I was gonna bother me.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Can they hear little mabels like nails hitting? That's okay?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Sorry, Wood Arizona. And it'll be almost it's almost eleven
years now ago and we built like a little life here,
coming from small town in Illinois to now right. Yeah,
why now you're distracted?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Well it's Mabel.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I know. I told you it was going to be
a problem.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
No, she's okay.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah, we're just going to put her down. Now do
you want me to?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Uh, you better edit that out, don't you dare? John
J runs like a nonprofit for dogs, Like you can say.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
No, because then he'd be like, do you want another dog?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Did you pause it?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Oh? Pulling?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I was pulling up the questions.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Oh gotcha. Yeah. No. We moved out here in twenty
fourteen and thought we'd stay for I don't know a
year or two and almost eleven years and two kids
in a house and a wedding and a bunch of
friends and we're still here.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, so I think we'll just dive into these questions then, Oh,
let's hear that sound good? Or do you have anything
else you want to say?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Do you have anything you need for me.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I just need your smooth voice and leading me along
this journey.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
The first question is how does it feel to be
married to the executive producer of a nationally syndicated radio
show and who is now a TV star? Oh so,
let me guess that's a real question. That's not what
I just made up with that question?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
And was it from at Nick Meets World?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
It was at Yeah, I can't I don't know, cut
off the top, But does it? I mean, is it
like an honorist to sit with men?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
It is? I think it's pretty cool. I mean the
John Jay Rich is super popular in the valley and
outside of the valley, and I think whenever people hear
that that's what you do, you know, they're always interested
to learn more, Like your job is just super interesting.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's been a I mean, it's been a kind of
a super weird journey.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
So for the listeners, I don't know if they know.
I mean, we've known each other since high school, like
since even before high school, and I just remember even
in high school, you know, radio is what you wanted
to do, and so to have seen Nick back then,
you know, early two thousand's wanting to do radio and
(08:03):
now you're still doing it. Not many people get to
do what they said they wanted to do back in
high school. I just think that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
How is my personality changed? Zero?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
You're like Nick's interest in like two thousand and two
are still the same in twenty twenty five. It's not
changed slightly.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
So so Sunday, when this podcast actually drops, it will
be Star Wars Day made it fourth? Oh my gosh. Yes,
And you were going to Target tonight and what was
the one thing they said I needed?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, so we're going to Target and I'm we have
two birthday parties this weekend, and so I'm like, okay,
we have to get a birthday present for this kid
and then this kid. And Nick's like, well, I want
to come too, because I need a Star Wars shirt.
Mind you, this man probably already has like I don't know,
sixteen Star Wars shirts in his closet, and I was like, wait,
why do you need a new one? He's like because
(08:56):
this weekend.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
So I wore so every year we take a photo
as a show for Star Wars Day, and I wore
the shirt today that that I wanted to wear in
the photo thinging we were doing the photo today. Now
I've screwed myself. I have and I have to wear
a shirt that I've already worn in one of these
photos before.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
How are you even going to show your face at work?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed already. Okay, So I guess that's
you know, that's question one and it was definitely real.
Uh Okay, hold on, I know.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
You're probably storting through the thousands that came in.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
So yeah, yeah, like I said, a dozens. Uh how
do you sleep? How do you have a sleep schedule
with kids? How do you have fun?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Does it say who wrote these?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Do we know these people? Giwin Pina?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Oh so we don't know that person. No, I'll let
you take this. You're the one with the weird sleep schedule.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, I don't know. Every day is different. I feel
like I try and get about four hours of sleep
at night and sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less.
But I also try to make it a priority when
the kids are at school during the day, I get home,
you know, most of the time early enough that I'd
(10:24):
like to take like minimum an hour nap and that
gives me a little boost for the rest of the day.
Now days like today I didn't get a nap, and
I thought recording this would be risky because I know
how my attitude is when that doesn't happen. But okay,
(10:44):
we're making it. Everything's good.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
And then I think in a past life you were
like a trucker or something, because like you can run.
I mean, I know you have a very positive attitude.
But also like if I get less than like six
hours of sleep, I am not bearable. But like you
have always been able to kind of like run. Remember
(11:08):
like when you used to work nights, and you know,
back in Illinois used to work nights. I feel like
you would run on e back then too.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I don't know, and I don't know if that's like,
I mean, it's terrible, right, like you should to be
a functioning human being. You do require more sleep than
than what I normally get, but there is probably a
level of like I'm just used to it. Yeah at
this point, like I like morning radio. I tell people
(11:36):
you never get used to getting up when it's still
dark out and being up when it's still dark out.
But the schedule, I don't know. I think I've managed it.
I manage it most days, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I think one thing has been different, and I'm sure,
like I don't know anybody that I didn't realize before
having kids, Like I don't know, you know how much
time that they take up, like really how much time
that they take up. So really the only time is
that Nick and I get to hang out like alone.
Are like this window right now after they go to bed.
They go to bed sometime after eight and then so
(12:12):
he'll always be so kind to stay up and hang
out with me for a minute or else we really
wouldn't get to see each other. So he sacrifices passing
in the wind. He sacrifices at least an hour of
sleep a night just to hang out with me.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
So thank you for that, and we try it like
I do, And I think that's that's important. Any relationship
is too like kids, no kids whatever, Like you need
to make sure that you have that structure underneath you, right,
the structure of like you enjoy each other's company and
you make the relationship an actual priority. She SIPs her drink.
(12:45):
I also want to say we played with the idea
of starting podcasts before. There have been several iterations. We
even recorded one, did we Yeah? It ended not not great.
You got real mad at me.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah. Probably. Well, I think that our thought was because
our kids are only like seventeen months apart. Our thought
for the podcast was like, oh, I don't know, drink
some beers and record. I don't know what was it.
We were gonna do like a parenting podcast.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, We're gonna do like a like first time parenting podcast.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
We were gonna do reviews on kids shows, Yeah, honest
reviews on kids shows. We were gonna get like a
little tipsy, have a few beers, and then do like
honest reviews on kid shows. Why don't we do that?
That would be fun.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I don't know. I think I think I think it's
stopped because I was doing the F word too much.
I think you were you gotter.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I think we should try it. That would be fun.
I mean, we've got a nice arsenal of our children
watch So.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Nick, do you still wake up in the middle of
the night to watch soccer? Have I ever done that?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I have no idea what that's about.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I think the only soccer matches I've watched are either
kids I'm coaching, or or it was live. I think
it's somebody else.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I think people it's funny we're getting these messages because
we got a bunch of messages this week about Grant's
podcast and his wife is also named Caitlin, and a
lot of people get Grant I confused already. You guys
look so much like yeah, and we look and sound
we have very similar personalities, you do, okay? At Fattiest Kertawfer,
(14:35):
have you ever considered an open relationship because Caitlyn sure
seems to be trying.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Oh my goodness, well, hello, Fattius, full disclosure, that's a
friend of ours, So please don't think that we are
into an open relationship. This is a friend of ours.
Because we were talking about going on a trip together.
(15:02):
It was like, ooh, we could get adjoining rooms because
I thought it'd be fun to like have the kids
all in one room and the grown ups in the other.
And they took that out of context, like, oh sure.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, quote out of context.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Wouldn't it be fun the kids in one room the
grown ups in another?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Uh? At dez forty five thirty, do you still get
random packages from Kaitlyn's uncle? That was such a fun.
So that was sime in our lives, Like what the
what was surrounding the packages. We used to this saying
during COVID, specifically, Kaitlyn's uncle is kind of an eccentric man.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I would say, yeah, so yeah, I have I have.
My dad's an only child, my mom had one brother,
and he never got married, never had kids, so he
has like the three nieces, me and my two sisters.
And he would send us these packages and it was
like a lot of them during COVID, and we would
unbox them live on Instagram and you never knew what
(16:01):
you were going to.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Get, and it was literally it could be anything from
like cleaning supplies to like a copy of the Saint
Louis Post dispatch, two full pieces of cake, like like
chocolate cake sent from Carbondale, Illinois.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, I know I should message him. I mean, here's
the thing. If I told him I missed those packages,
he'd probably send him again.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
So yeah, he's I mean, he's still he sends such
a sense of kids.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
He's so kind.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, very very kind man. He sends the kids, you know,
cards for their birthdays and whenever he's thinking about him.
But yeah, nothing nothing recently. I hadn't even thought about list. Uh,
what advice would you have for someone moving in with
(16:49):
their significant other for the first time. We'll let you start, uh,
I mean get ready to change your life. I mean
it listen. It depends on Like when we moved in together,
(17:11):
we had been dating for a while, but I had
also been living with a dude for you know, for
the better part of you know, four years, and he
and I both had our eccentric nature. Like you, the
most important thing is compromise, Like you have to find
(17:34):
a way to like it's not just your shit anymore.
Like once you move in together. It's like, I remember
one time I bought toothpaste and I've never thought twice
about toothpaste. I just buy the like the cheapest kind,
and I brought it home and you, so I bought
like deer piss brush my teeth. Yeah, I bought aim
(17:58):
toothpaste good and then you and then you literally like,
I don't even want this in our bathroom, and so
I keepped it in the car.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
That's so judging. I'm sorry, but yeah, don't bring him.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Like it's like it was poison.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I think how you know, with a lot of things
in relationship, it's compromise, it's communication. It's like Hey, sometimes
I just need a moment, right, Like, sometimes I just
I just need a second to myself, Like I just
whether it's just to sit in the dark and think,
or you know, I don't read, but you read. Like
(18:37):
sometimes it's just you have to find an escape every
once in a while just to get yourself back.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Even I would agree, I think one thing, the sense
of mystery is then gone to Like sure, you probably
stay the night with your significant other and you've done
all of that, but like you literally have nowhere to
escape to your living with them. You have to compromise
all of that stuff is you know, a little bit different,
but I don't know, I feel like it's just so
fun because now life is just like a every night
(19:04):
sleepover with your best friend. And then yeah, there's some
things that are different, but hopefully you guys get along
well and it won't be that bad. But hopefully it'll
be the opposite and you guys will have a lot
of fun if.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
You haven't pooped, like in the same like because when
I would visit.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You, you'd go down to the lobby.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yeah, I'd go down to the lobby, or I would
like just pray to Christ that it wouldn't just happen,
Like like the second we'd go to brunch, I'd be like,
I'm going to go to the restroom real quick.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Forgot about that.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
And then and then once we moved in together, I
was like, this is my nightmare. Never I will never survive.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Well you did somehow.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Yeah, he did, he did it? Okay, what else you got?
How does Caitlyn feel about Nick using chad gpt? This
is a recent development. I am constantly using chad gpt
to make funny, funny images. I ask it to review
(20:14):
Instagram pages. I have fallen in love with Ai and
I know that it's going to be a problem in
like five years, but right now it's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I mean you used to always, like used to use
like meme generators and stuff too, Like you've always been
one that likes to make a you know, this just
makes it easier for you. Yeah, it's like those shitty memes,
but like on steroids.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Now anyway, I can poke the bear to any person
in my life, Like I'm taking full advantage and that
my family favorite one one of our friends is pregnant
and she's she's got twins on the way, and like
it's a beautiful time in their lives. And Caitlin the
other night was like, I wonder if we can Like
(21:02):
Caitlyn took a bunch of photos for like for maternity purposes,
and she's like, I wonder if I could find a
way to get this background to go all the way
to the bottom, and was like, Nick, do you think
you could do it? I was like, oh, yeah, fully knowing,
I'm using chat GPT for this, and I did it
and it worked with the background, but it also turned
(21:24):
our friend Jordan into a Muppets. You just just different
enough that I was like, I don't think this.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Is Yeah, no, it's pretty creepy.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
I'll let you answer this one. Which one of your
kids do you like more?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Oh my goodness, well, I will say that my favorite
girl in the world is Caroline and my favorite boy
in the world is definitely.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, they are. They are both like.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Could never answer that question.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yeah, they're both awesome.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
There's days of course that one tries you harder and
one is sweeter. And then like what we always joke
about is I feel like both kids are never like
being their best or being their worst at the same time.
It's like one is being an angel and then ooh,
the other one's not gonna be so kind. And then
as soon as that one starts being kind, the other
one's like, now I'm gonna be naughty. Like it's like
they can they subliminably tell each other.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
They both live off the other one getting in trouble,
like they they both they're at that point where they
understand like, oh, he's being bad, so I'm going to
be extra good and that's gonna drive him crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, our daughter tonight was being a little naughty and
our son looks at us and goes, hey, mommy, Daddy,
since Caroline's being naughty, can I have TV and a snack?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Like we're like, buddy, all right, do you know what.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
You're working here? But no, we're We're lucky that they're
healthy and good kids and couldn't ask for more.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
On a scale of one to ten, how important is
karaoke to your marriage?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Okay, how important is karaoke to our marriage? I would
say it's like a moral tenant of our marriage.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It's it's one of it.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
It's like there's a trust platform communication karaoke. Like, you know,
love isn't there somewhere right? No, I wouldn't say it's
like a ten, but I mean it's definitely created some
fantastic memories for us.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Yeah, I think that just it's part of the you
always need to be having fun, yeah, right, like because
life can be real tough and there are situations that
that sucks sometimes, But as long as you are still
having fun with your person, like everything's everything's gonna be all right.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
You need to like play some like Danny Tanner full
house music right there everywhere.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
How do you get over.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
You don't? I mean, I think the biggest thing is
is communication. Honestly, I feel like since having kids, it's
made fighting easier. Like I don't know, I feel like you, like,
the little things that would make me mad pre children
just don't make me mad anymore because I feel like
(24:25):
there's just so many other things to worry about, Like
it's got to be really big to get upset. And
I think just taking a break, Like I like to
talk about things immediately, Nick likes to walk away and
take a break. So I think I've kind of just learned. Okay,
Nick needs a break, he needs a minute, give him
his minute. Or on the flip side, you know, Okay,
she wants to be talked to right now, but that communication.
(24:48):
We also try to always like hit the problems up
front before they turn into too big of a thing.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah. I think learning learning how your person deals with
confrontation and is like a big one. Like I am
the first admit I avoid confrontation. I will kick things
down the curb until there's no curb left and then
I'll just and then I'll just jump in the road
(25:13):
like I'm not gonna I'm I don't like it. I
think there's other ways to deal with it. You don't
shy away from it. Yeah, you're I mean, you're very
much like like, let's resolve this now so it doesn'tour
doesn't boil over later. And I think the right tactic
(25:35):
is probably somewhere in the middle, like where you learn
like okay, like this isn't a huge deal. Let Nick
give us have his moment? No, did, or does Caitlin
feel like a third wheel to Nick and Joey's bromance?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Oh my gosh, I love this question.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
You know that's a that's a reference to mister Joey Bradfish,
former and of the John Jane Rich Show, who I
went to college with and we reconnected and hold hands
every once in a while.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Now, I would say, I don't feel like a third
wheel because at least I have his wife to like
be my weal. So luckily she's fantastic. I I don't know.
We love Joey, So anytime you and Joey get to
bro out, I love it.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I don't know that's a good answer. I hate Joey
Hey so much. How did you guys meet?
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Do I have to go first again?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Well, I listen, no one wants to hear from me,
I would argue, no one wants to hear from me.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Okay. So Nick and I are both from the same hometown.
It's a small town of less than six thousand people
in the middle of nowhere of Illinois. And I just
always say, like, we never didn't know each other. So
like in this town, like there's only one elementary school,
one middle school, one high school. And so Nick graduated
(27:08):
high school two years before me. So I'm two years
younger than him, And I mean I was in kindergarten
with his younger brother. Him and I graduated high school together.
My grandparents. Nick's grandparents were both farmer friends. My dad
graduated with his uncle, like just small town. Have always
(27:28):
known each other, but then whenever I was in high school,
I kind of became better friends with his group of friends,
and then we actually started dating my senior year of
high school, which was his sophomore year of college. So yeah,
I don't really.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Remember it, how like just cool it was.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Here's the thing, like I wish I remembered a moment
that I met you. I just always knew who Nick
Johnson was. If you would have told like and most do,
if you would have told me that, like someday I
was going to like have two kids with Nick Johnson
and live in Arizona, like that would have seemed bizarre.
But like I remember, one of my first memories of
(28:07):
you was in middle school and you were in eighth
grade and I was in sixth grade. This was the
first time I thought you were cool. And I don't
know if I've ever told you this. This is this
is this is the first time I thought you were cool.
Sixth grade, Kaitlin, eighth grade, Nick. And there was a
talent show and you performed as a part of jamming
(28:31):
and you did a little number two backstraight boys. I
want it that way, right, Yeah, I'm not making this up.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
No it didn't.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
And you guys all were these shirts because it was like,
what was it Josh, Aaron, Matt and Nick Yeah, uh
huh jam and they did this dance and I was like, oh,
Nick is so cool. And that was sixth grade Kaitlin.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Uh yeah, that was tribute.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
I thought he was really cool. And then of course
we like I knew who he was. But anyway, that
was my first time that I was like.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I mean, everybody knew who it was. I mean that
we did, and every I mean I mean, that was
still to this day one of the most disappointing days
of my life.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Did you not win?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
No, we didn't place. Wait seriously, yeah, we didn't even place.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Oh my gosh, you were the only act that was
like memorable in my brain. Who won?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
I don't know, but I know that it wasn't us,
and they're a big fit. I took my shirt off.
I mean, that's probably what I won't take my shirt
off now.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Yeah, how did you guys meet?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Well, let's take it back to Carlonville two thousand and whatever.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I'm trying to think of my first memory with you, Like,
like you said, like there was like the like Caitlin
Harron has always been a person in my life. I
can't think of a like a specific moment, like we
went we went to high school together. We were in
the same musicals, like I was on the football team,
(29:59):
you were cheerleader. Like it was like always just kind
of around. It was, you know, just one faithful night
in the middle of a cornfield. Yeah, and how how
all love stories typically begetting Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:14):
When he for that night, I was at a party
in a cornfield like you do in the Midwest, and
Nick came to meet up with some friends and then
he serenaded me with a whole New World. So I
guess that's where our hieraoke journey.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I have such a such an incredible singing voice. You do,
people don't understand.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
We'll save that for the next pod.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Yeah. Also, Hey, so Grant and I've been doing these
TV hits. This is a completely side note. We've been
doing the TV hits and Grant's been putting little promo
teasers up and he put one up on the Reddit
page and it featured me in a in my like
my sophomore year high school football uniform, and one of
(30:59):
the comments was, there's no way, that's Nick in a
football jersey. I was like, I don't know how to
take that because it's it is abnormally large, like the
jersey is abnormally large on my body. But is it
I can't picture Nick playing football? Or is it that
doesn't look like Nick.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
That doesn't look like Nick. I think that doesn't look
like Nick.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
It's probably because the glow up.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Oh yeah, you've had Zaddy.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah, yeah, I got a I got a haircut.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
You've got a beard in the glasses. Yeah, and you're
like really little and beardless in that picture.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Anyway, I played the football. It's important people know what
else you got.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
How did you meet Jesus Christ?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
What are you enjoying having the kids so close in
age now that you're past the baby stage?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Yeah, hard, Yes, yeah, it was tough. It was tough
for a while. And those who have twins, I salute never.
I will never stop giving you a standing ovation because
it was like our children are seventeen months apart and
(32:21):
we had the first one in May of twenty twenty.
We don't have to go over how tough like that
time was the uncertainty of everything, and then you know,
just as we planned it little man comes not even
you know, we should post the video of me finding
(32:42):
out finding out because I almost fainted. Yeah, And so
she was born in May of twenty twenty. We found
out Kyla was pregnant again in February March, in March
of twenty one and it was like, oh God, and
it's just like I'm getting I'm sweaty just thinking about it.
(33:03):
Fast forward now almost five years and they are like
best friends and they have a great group of friends
around them too that since they are so close in age,
like neither one feels left out when we're going to
X person's birthday party because they're all together and it's
(33:28):
fun seeing them interact. It's fun. We were just playing
in the front yard earlier. They were playing family, and
you know, he's always the cat.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
She's the mom, he's the gut.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
It doesn't matter what they're playing. She also loves playing
Taylor Swift and is he Travis Kelce no? Is he
Ed Sheeran No, he is the Taylor Swiss Cat.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
And she performs and he crawls around just saying meo, meo.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yeah, and weirdly, in the off chances that he's the baby.
He also makes that same noise.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah, it's so much better now, I think. I look
back at pictures. There was one that popped up the
other day of us, like at the pediatrician's office with
both of them when they were super little, and I'm like,
oh my gosh, how did we do that? But you know,
I people always asking what's the perfect age gap? I'm like,
I don't really know. It was hard, but now it's
so much fun. Like I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
I guess this one it's probably just for me. Why
did you repel off the side of the John Jay
and Rich building? Besides quote they told me to that
was a time when I was like to be if
I'm being completely candid, I was doing everything I could
(34:56):
to work full time in radio. Again, like I I
had went through a period in my life when it
first got out of college that I did have a
full time radio job. I was working. And I have
always been a person that loves stunts, Like I love
being the stunt boy. I love going out, Like there's
(35:17):
a period where I would just wear like a lobster
costume any interview that they would do. There's a picture
of John Jay and Rich and Kyle and Susette with
the Governor of Arizona, and I am also on that
stage in a lobster costume. Why no reason. We all
just thought it was a funny thing to do, and
(35:40):
I just wanted it so bad that I was going
to do anything it took to get me there. And
when I was told we're going to do a week
of superhero school, we want you to train to be
a superhero. Like first of all was the idea that
I pitched, and it was coming to Fruition and it
(36:02):
was like I was going to be featured. It was like, oh,
I'll do anything. There were other things that were pitched
that were going to be easier, some that were not legal,
but we landed on this, you know, the grand finale
of repelling off the side of the building. And I
don't even know that I told you that I was
(36:24):
doing it because I thought you would be upset, but
I know that after it happened, you obviously found out.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Oh. I don't remember at all what year was that.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
I mean, I was beardless. I think I say it's
twenty eighteen, maybe twenty nineteen. I had to look up
when Avengers because I think it was Adventures of Infinity War.
But yeah, I'm pretty sure I didn't say anything about
what was happening until it was happening.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
I wouldn't have been mad. I just would be concerned
for your safety.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Yeah, I mean we didn't have kids at that point,
so there was not the.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
How about this one? See money favorite local breweries and
favorite beer of all time?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Who's this one? Is this?
Speaker 1 (37:20):
This is at Museum dot Shorty.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Hmmm, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
It's probably Tea Pain's friend.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
I mean we have to say Goldwater, right, I mean yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Goldwater Brewing is my favorite brewery ever.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
We also have like a emotional connection to that. That
was like the like we've been going there since it
like opened, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
I mean the they opened this. Yeah, they opened that.
We moved here.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Yeah Goldwater. I would say hop Chowda, like it's hard
to beat. Yeah, love hop Chowda. So we are I
p a folks over here. Other breweries that we like
in the valley. I mean, ren House is fantastic.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
We love the shop.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
The shop is great. They have good beers.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Roses by the stairs well because.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Yeah that's beer. And Blinkwin eighty two.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Yeah, that one's perfect.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Well, I said all of your same interests from two
thousand and two, so that's blankwent eighty two as well.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Okay, we like Fade.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
But not for their beers, but more for their patio.
I think if we're looking for like beers, I think
that we typically go for like a gold Water or
wren House. We like Wilderness.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
I mean. The thing is is that Arizona's brewery game
has improved so much in the last even in the
last five years, but especially in the last ten. And
you know, it's like picking your favorite kid, right, It's
like all of them have something, yeah, you know that
that we love, even like cider Core.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Like huss I like coffee cols like Yeah flags af
We like Dark.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Sky, Dark Sky, Mother Road both.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
I think they said favorite beer of all time. I
feel like three Floyd still has a special place in
my heart. Maybe it's just because of it.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
There is this tiny brewery in Munster, Indiana, and at
the time that we lived in Chicago, we lived there
for a year. They didn't distribute outside of the Chicago
Land area, and it was Zombie Dust, so exclusive. It
was such a it was like a on tap.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
It was like ye run.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Right and it was like it would be a full
release day and like there would be a line around
the block, and it was. And the beer itself was
was great too. We always talk about Belching Beaver in
San Diego. We had the most delicious like chocolate, peanut butter.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
It wasn't a stout though. We went this is the weekend.
We got engaged and we like walked to like ten
different breweries in San Diego and Belging Beaver was one
of them. And I don't know what it was, but
it was a peanut butter, chocolate something, but it was
not a stout. It was like light colored like a
logger and it was on nitro too. It was so good.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Yeah, and we have been able to find it since.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
But we talked about it, we.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Talked, we talked about it just a couple of days ago.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
We talked about it like this has been That was
twenty fifteen. We've talked about the beer for ten years.
Melting Beaver. If you're out there, what is that?
Speaker 1 (40:43):
And if I go around, Yeah, if I go around,
the Valley Hop Chowder church music from really like the Walleys. Yeah,
the Walies from Renhouse are always fantastic. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
I just.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
It's like I said, it is hard to pick your.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Favorite, but you picked gold water.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
But that is what I picked. Yeah, and I will
and I will stand by that.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
You're welcome, Parker.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
I used to I used to have a beer Instagram account.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
You still do.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
I don't think I have no idea. I can't get
back into.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
It is that Joey and.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
My whole No, that's it everyone. Oh no. And so
when Joey left for John Jaye Rid Show, his name
on Instagram was at Joey Bradfish and then he he
changed his Instagram handle, and I thought to myself, man,
it would be really funny if I took his old
(41:42):
Instagram handle and started posting identical things that he was posting,
like within a couple hours of when he did it,
and then I camera it was it was like I
had to wait like a week until and then I
immediately forgot the password and couldn't and couldn't get back in,
and I still still can't get back in. Since then,
(42:04):
he has tried. He's reached out to see if I
can give it back to him, and I can't because
I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
And that's why he's at Joey Inas.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
Rather than at Joey Bradfish. So sorry, Joey, I don't
mean to. I don't mean to. Sorry under sandwich. Uh.
I think that's good. Forty five minutes, no more questions.
It's a considerable that's a considerable podcast.

asked anything about I don't know what I was gonna say.

Tune in for part two and find out what.

You find out again?
Speaker 2 (43:08):
Yeah, no, I didn't know, like if they just want
to know my name, I didn't know what part they
wanted to know.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
I mean, you can tell somebody to introduce themselves. It's
a big part of your life, but no.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
It is. I help people here. That's what I do.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
I always say to make it simpler. You know those
videos they see online of like babies, I get to
hear it for the first time and it makes you cry,
and that's what you do.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
I do.
Speaker 1 (43:36):

those of you who have sat through this, thank you.
Let us know what you think. Should we keep doing this?

one couple's therapy. I think Noah's doing one with his roommate.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
It's Noah though, Oh it'll be great, you said everybody
you want to get to learn about everyone's right. But Noah,
Oh he's going to have some cool stuff to talk about.
Maybe Noah and I'll just do one next time.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
I that was my next pitch, was like, okay, which

Broadcasting live across the world right now. This is the
John Jay and Rich radio program. You seem yeah, oh,
you seem I'm trying to I'm trying to ease you
into it as this is a new experience.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
It is a new experience, so thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
So this is the Couple's Therapy podcast, brought to you
by John Jay and Rich and currently Goldwater Brewing as well.
My name is Nick. I'm the executive producer for John
Jay and Rich. This is my wife Caitlin.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Do you see again? You seem very apprehensive.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I mean, this stress is like your thing, so I'm
just along for the ride.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
It's kind of my thing. I do think maybe there
should be a little bit of an introduction on how
this all like developed. We were looking for ways to
branch out like the John Jay and Rich show, like
create a big umbrella, right and give more opportunities for growth,
(01:12):
like for people, for the show itself and for the
people within the show. And Sundays are a pretty it's
a pretty quiet day as far as podcast goes, and
we kind of decided as a collective unit, like it
would be interesting as everyone on the show we get
along so great, but we're all different, Right, we're all
(01:35):
different ages, We're all we all are different stages in
our lives. We all like are in relationships in some
form or fashion, and it would just be interesting to
hear the stories of those relationships. Are you following that?
Did you tune me out? Because I'm doing my whole stick?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
No, I love the stick. The dog. I'm waiting for
her to.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I know she is. To set the stage a little bit,
our dog is going through what I like to call
her sideways period. She's like in the upside down currently,
Like she's she's not like a bunch of medications and
we think she's getting better, but you know, we'll.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
See she's a little she's an old girl.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, old is the nicest way to put it. And
then to also set the stage, we have two children.
They're young, four and three. She's almost well, our four
year old's almost five. I would say today is maybe
one of those days. Is a little difficult being a parent,
(02:45):
h definite. Yeah, Like generally both our kids are amazing,
and they are loving and they're nice and they're kind tonight,
like I don't know if they're a ever gonna go
to bed, be allow me to ever go to bed
and see if we can stay in the same house anymore.
(03:09):
That bad it was. It was not like the most
fun night.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I mean I was told that I wasn't a good mom,
but not by Nick, by my child.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, and I had to carry her like a half
mile out of school just because she you know, we
ruled me.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
But you know what, we got them to bed.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
They're all, okay, yeah, they're doing Do you wanna do
you want to introduce yourself at all? Do you wanna
tell the dozens of people that are downloading this and
what you do or anything about you?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I mean, I'm happy to I don't know what they
want to hear, because my assumption is is that the
people that are listening are probably our family and friends,
or it's maybe someone who already like follows you on
social media. I'm not sure. But my name's Caitlin. I'm
Nick's wife. We've been married since no one can see
(04:06):
you twenty seventeen. Yes, I was just like, somebody can
see me, like I'm here to introduce myself, but yeah,
I have never I talk on a microphone a lot,
like I don't mind public speaking, but this is a
different format that I'm like this is something for Nick's work,
and it's just like yeah, well.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
And generally, like for something like this, I don't like
doing it at home, right, Like it like you kind
of want to be out of your comfort zone a
little bit and it helps, you know, like if you're
sitting like we are, on our couch in our living room,
there are a million things going through your head like,
oh my god, like we have to go to bed
in twenty minutes. Oh my god, I could be watching
(04:50):
How I Met your Mother again, you know, like there also.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Why I turned on this nice all beyond?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
So yeah, yeah, she as we were sitting down, she goes,
don't you want to make your guests feel welcome? And
I was like, I don't know really what that means.
And then when I came back in, she had brought
up what looks like an AI generated image of the
ocean rather than you know, the actual crashing waves. But
(05:16):
why not? You did great? Thanks, you did great. Yeah.
So we have been married since twenty seventeen. Like I said,
we've got two beautiful children, a lot of We've been
through a lot of life events in you know, our
in our time together. We've lived in Arizona for I
(05:37):
told you I was gonna bother me.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Can they hear little mabels like nails hitting? That's okay?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Sorry, Wood Arizona. And it'll be almost it's almost eleven
years now ago and we built like a little life here,
coming from small town in Illinois to now right. Yeah,
why now you're distracted?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Well it's Mabel.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I know. I told you it was going to be
a problem.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
No, she's okay.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah, we're just going to put her down. Now do
you want me to?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Uh, you better edit that out, don't you dare? John
J runs like a nonprofit for dogs, Like you can say.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
No, because then he'd be like, do you want another dog?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Did you pause it?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Oh? Pulling?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I was pulling up the questions.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Oh gotcha. Yeah. No. We moved out here in twenty
fourteen and thought we'd stay for I don't know a
year or two and almost eleven years and two kids
in a house and a wedding and a bunch of
friends and we're still here.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, so I think we'll just dive into these questions then, Oh,
let's hear that sound good? Or do you have anything
else you want to say?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Do you have anything you need for me.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I just need your smooth voice and leading me along
this journey.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
The first question is how does it feel to be
married to the executive producer of a nationally syndicated radio
show and who is now a TV star? Oh so,
let me guess that's a real question. That's not what
I just made up with that question?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
And was it from at Nick Meets World?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
It was at Yeah, I can't I don't know, cut
off the top, But does it? I mean, is it
like an honorist to sit with men?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
It is? I think it's pretty cool. I mean the
John Jay Rich is super popular in the valley and
outside of the valley, and I think whenever people hear
that that's what you do, you know, they're always interested
to learn more, Like your job is just super interesting.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's been a I mean, it's been a kind of
a super weird journey.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
So for the listeners, I don't know if they know.
I mean, we've known each other since high school, like
since even before high school, and I just remember even
in high school, you know, radio is what you wanted
to do, and so to have seen Nick back then,
you know, early two thousand's wanting to do radio and
(08:03):
now you're still doing it. Not many people get to
do what they said they wanted to do back in
high school. I just think that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
How is my personality changed? Zero?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
You're like Nick's interest in like two thousand and two
are still the same in twenty twenty five. It's not
changed slightly.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
So so Sunday, when this podcast actually drops, it will
be Star Wars Day made it fourth? Oh my gosh. Yes,
And you were going to Target tonight and what was
the one thing they said I needed?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, so we're going to Target and I'm we have
two birthday parties this weekend, and so I'm like, okay,
we have to get a birthday present for this kid
and then this kid. And Nick's like, well, I want
to come too, because I need a Star Wars shirt.
Mind you, this man probably already has like I don't know,
sixteen Star Wars shirts in his closet, and I was like, wait,
why do you need a new one? He's like because
(08:56):
this weekend.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
So I wore so every year we take a photo
as a show for Star Wars Day, and I wore
the shirt today that that I wanted to wear in
the photo thinging we were doing the photo today. Now
I've screwed myself. I have and I have to wear
a shirt that I've already worn in one of these
photos before.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
How are you even going to show your face at work?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed already. Okay, So I guess that's
you know, that's question one and it was definitely real.
Uh Okay, hold on, I know.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
You're probably storting through the thousands that came in.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
So yeah, yeah, like I said, a dozens. Uh how
do you sleep? How do you have a sleep schedule
with kids? How do you have fun?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Does it say who wrote these?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Do we know these people? Giwin Pina?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Oh so we don't know that person. No, I'll let
you take this. You're the one with the weird sleep schedule.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, I don't know. Every day is different. I feel
like I try and get about four hours of sleep
at night and sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less.
But I also try to make it a priority when
the kids are at school during the day, I get home,
you know, most of the time early enough that I'd
(10:24):
like to take like minimum an hour nap and that
gives me a little boost for the rest of the day.
Now days like today I didn't get a nap, and
I thought recording this would be risky because I know
how my attitude is when that doesn't happen. But okay,
(10:44):
we're making it. Everything's good.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
And then I think in a past life you were
like a trucker or something, because like you can run.
I mean, I know you have a very positive attitude.
But also like if I get less than like six
hours of sleep, I am not bearable. But like you
have always been able to kind of like run. Remember
(11:08):
like when you used to work nights, and you know,
back in Illinois used to work nights. I feel like
you would run on e back then too.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I don't know, and I don't know if that's like,
I mean, it's terrible, right, like you should to be
a functioning human being. You do require more sleep than
than what I normally get, but there is probably a
level of like I'm just used to it. Yeah at
this point, like I like morning radio. I tell people
(11:36):
you never get used to getting up when it's still
dark out and being up when it's still dark out.
But the schedule, I don't know. I think I've managed it.
I manage it most days, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I think one thing has been different, and I'm sure,
like I don't know anybody that I didn't realize before
having kids, Like I don't know, you know how much
time that they take up, like really how much time
that they take up. So really the only time is
that Nick and I get to hang out like alone.
Are like this window right now after they go to bed.
They go to bed sometime after eight and then so
(12:12):
he'll always be so kind to stay up and hang
out with me for a minute or else we really
wouldn't get to see each other. So he sacrifices passing
in the wind. He sacrifices at least an hour of
sleep a night just to hang out with me.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
So thank you for that, and we try it like
I do, And I think that's that's important. Any relationship
is too like kids, no kids whatever, Like you need
to make sure that you have that structure underneath you, right,
the structure of like you enjoy each other's company and
you make the relationship an actual priority. She SIPs her drink.
(12:45):
I also want to say we played with the idea
of starting podcasts before. There have been several iterations. We
even recorded one, did we Yeah? It ended not not great.
You got real mad at me.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah. Probably. Well, I think that our thought was because
our kids are only like seventeen months apart. Our thought
for the podcast was like, oh, I don't know, drink
some beers and record. I don't know what was it.
We were gonna do like a parenting podcast.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, We're gonna do like a like first time parenting podcast.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
We were gonna do reviews on kids shows, Yeah, honest
reviews on kids shows. We were gonna get like a
little tipsy, have a few beers, and then do like
honest reviews on kid shows. Why don't we do that?
That would be fun.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I don't know. I think I think I think it's
stopped because I was doing the F word too much.
I think you were you gotter.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I think we should try it. That would be fun.
I mean, we've got a nice arsenal of our children
watch So.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Nick, do you still wake up in the middle of
the night to watch soccer? Have I ever done that?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I have no idea what that's about.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I think the only soccer matches I've watched are either
kids I'm coaching, or or it was live. I think
it's somebody else.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I think people it's funny we're getting these messages because
we got a bunch of messages this week about Grant's
podcast and his wife is also named Caitlin, and a
lot of people get Grant I confused already. You guys
look so much like yeah, and we look and sound
we have very similar personalities, you do, okay? At Fattiest Kertawfer,
(14:35):
have you ever considered an open relationship because Caitlyn sure
seems to be trying.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Oh my goodness, well, hello, Fattius, full disclosure, that's a
friend of ours, So please don't think that we are
into an open relationship. This is a friend of ours.
Because we were talking about going on a trip together.
(15:02):
It was like, ooh, we could get adjoining rooms because
I thought it'd be fun to like have the kids
all in one room and the grown ups in the other.
And they took that out of context, like, oh sure.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, quote out of context.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Wouldn't it be fun the kids in one room the
grown ups in another?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Uh? At dez forty five thirty, do you still get
random packages from Kaitlyn's uncle? That was such a fun.
So that was sime in our lives, Like what the
what was surrounding the packages. We used to this saying
during COVID, specifically, Kaitlyn's uncle is kind of an eccentric man.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I would say, yeah, so yeah, I have I have.
My dad's an only child, my mom had one brother,
and he never got married, never had kids, so he
has like the three nieces, me and my two sisters.
And he would send us these packages and it was
like a lot of them during COVID, and we would
unbox them live on Instagram and you never knew what
(16:01):
you were going to.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Get, and it was literally it could be anything from
like cleaning supplies to like a copy of the Saint
Louis Post dispatch, two full pieces of cake, like like
chocolate cake sent from Carbondale, Illinois.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, I know I should message him. I mean, here's
the thing. If I told him I missed those packages,
he'd probably send him again.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
So yeah, he's I mean, he's still he sends such
a sense of kids.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
He's so kind.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, very very kind man. He sends the kids, you know,
cards for their birthdays and whenever he's thinking about him.
But yeah, nothing nothing recently. I hadn't even thought about list. Uh,
what advice would you have for someone moving in with
(16:49):
their significant other for the first time. We'll let you start, uh,
I mean get ready to change your life. I mean
it listen. It depends on Like when we moved in together,
(17:11):
we had been dating for a while, but I had
also been living with a dude for you know, for
the better part of you know, four years, and he
and I both had our eccentric nature. Like you, the
most important thing is compromise, Like you have to find
(17:34):
a way to like it's not just your shit anymore.
Like once you move in together. It's like, I remember
one time I bought toothpaste and I've never thought twice
about toothpaste. I just buy the like the cheapest kind,
and I brought it home and you, so I bought
like deer piss brush my teeth. Yeah, I bought aim
(17:58):
toothpaste good and then you and then you literally like,
I don't even want this in our bathroom, and so
I keepped it in the car.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
That's so judging. I'm sorry, but yeah, don't bring him.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Like it's like it was poison.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I think how you know, with a lot of things
in relationship, it's compromise, it's communication. It's like Hey, sometimes
I just need a moment, right, Like, sometimes I just
I just need a second to myself, Like I just
whether it's just to sit in the dark and think,
or you know, I don't read, but you read. Like
(18:37):
sometimes it's just you have to find an escape every
once in a while just to get yourself back.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Even I would agree, I think one thing, the sense
of mystery is then gone to Like sure, you probably
stay the night with your significant other and you've done
all of that, but like you literally have nowhere to
escape to your living with them. You have to compromise
all of that stuff is you know, a little bit different,
but I don't know, I feel like it's just so
fun because now life is just like a every night
(19:04):
sleepover with your best friend. And then yeah, there's some
things that are different, but hopefully you guys get along
well and it won't be that bad. But hopefully it'll
be the opposite and you guys will have a lot
of fun if.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
You haven't pooped, like in the same like because when
I would visit.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You, you'd go down to the lobby.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yeah, I'd go down to the lobby, or I would
like just pray to Christ that it wouldn't just happen,
Like like the second we'd go to brunch, I'd be like,
I'm going to go to the restroom real quick.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Forgot about that.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
And then and then once we moved in together, I
was like, this is my nightmare. Never I will never survive.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Well you did somehow.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Yeah, he did, he did it? Okay, what else you got?
How does Caitlyn feel about Nick using chad gpt? This
is a recent development. I am constantly using chad gpt
to make funny, funny images. I ask it to review
(20:14):
Instagram pages. I have fallen in love with Ai and
I know that it's going to be a problem in
like five years, but right now it's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I mean you used to always, like used to use
like meme generators and stuff too, Like you've always been
one that likes to make a you know, this just
makes it easier for you. Yeah, it's like those shitty memes,
but like on steroids.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Now anyway, I can poke the bear to any person
in my life, Like I'm taking full advantage and that
my family favorite one one of our friends is pregnant
and she's she's got twins on the way, and like
it's a beautiful time in their lives. And Caitlin the
other night was like, I wonder if we can Like
(21:02):
Caitlyn took a bunch of photos for like for maternity purposes,
and she's like, I wonder if I could find a
way to get this background to go all the way
to the bottom, and was like, Nick, do you think
you could do it? I was like, oh, yeah, fully knowing,
I'm using chat GPT for this, and I did it
and it worked with the background, but it also turned
(21:24):
our friend Jordan into a Muppets. You just just different
enough that I was like, I don't think this.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Is Yeah, no, it's pretty creepy.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
I'll let you answer this one. Which one of your
kids do you like more?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Oh my goodness, well, I will say that my favorite
girl in the world is Caroline and my favorite boy
in the world is definitely.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, they are. They are both like.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Could never answer that question.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yeah, they're both awesome.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
There's days of course that one tries you harder and
one is sweeter. And then like what we always joke
about is I feel like both kids are never like
being their best or being their worst at the same time.
It's like one is being an angel and then ooh,
the other one's not gonna be so kind. And then
as soon as that one starts being kind, the other
one's like, now I'm gonna be naughty. Like it's like
they can they subliminably tell each other.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
They both live off the other one getting in trouble,
like they they both they're at that point where they
understand like, oh, he's being bad, so I'm going to
be extra good and that's gonna drive him crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, our daughter tonight was being a little naughty and
our son looks at us and goes, hey, mommy, Daddy,
since Caroline's being naughty, can I have TV and a snack?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Like we're like, buddy, all right, do you know what.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
You're working here? But no, we're We're lucky that they're
healthy and good kids and couldn't ask for more.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
On a scale of one to ten, how important is
karaoke to your marriage?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Okay, how important is karaoke to our marriage? I would
say it's like a moral tenant of our marriage.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It's it's one of it.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
It's like there's a trust platform communication karaoke. Like, you know,
love isn't there somewhere right? No, I wouldn't say it's
like a ten, but I mean it's definitely created some
fantastic memories for us.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Yeah, I think that just it's part of the you
always need to be having fun, yeah, right, like because
life can be real tough and there are situations that
that sucks sometimes, But as long as you are still
having fun with your person, like everything's everything's gonna be all right.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
You need to like play some like Danny Tanner full
house music right there everywhere.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
How do you get over.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
You don't? I mean, I think the biggest thing is
is communication. Honestly, I feel like since having kids, it's
made fighting easier. Like I don't know, I feel like you, like,
the little things that would make me mad pre children
just don't make me mad anymore because I feel like
(24:25):
there's just so many other things to worry about, Like
it's got to be really big to get upset. And
I think just taking a break, Like I like to
talk about things immediately, Nick likes to walk away and
take a break. So I think I've kind of just learned. Okay,
Nick needs a break, he needs a minute, give him
his minute. Or on the flip side, you know, Okay,
she wants to be talked to right now, but that communication.
(24:48):
We also try to always like hit the problems up
front before they turn into too big of a thing.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah. I think learning learning how your person deals with
confrontation and is like a big one. Like I am
the first admit I avoid confrontation. I will kick things
down the curb until there's no curb left and then
I'll just and then I'll just jump in the road
(25:13):
like I'm not gonna I'm I don't like it. I
think there's other ways to deal with it. You don't
shy away from it. Yeah, you're I mean, you're very
much like like, let's resolve this now so it doesn'tour
doesn't boil over later. And I think the right tactic
(25:35):
is probably somewhere in the middle, like where you learn
like okay, like this isn't a huge deal. Let Nick
give us have his moment? No, did, or does Caitlin
feel like a third wheel to Nick and Joey's bromance?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Oh my gosh, I love this question.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
You know that's a that's a reference to mister Joey Bradfish,
former and of the John Jane Rich Show, who I
went to college with and we reconnected and hold hands
every once in a while.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Now, I would say, I don't feel like a third
wheel because at least I have his wife to like
be my weal. So luckily she's fantastic. I I don't know.
We love Joey, So anytime you and Joey get to
bro out, I love it.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I don't know that's a good answer. I hate Joey
Hey so much. How did you guys meet?
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Do I have to go first again?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Well, I listen, no one wants to hear from me,
I would argue, no one wants to hear from me.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Okay. So Nick and I are both from the same hometown.
It's a small town of less than six thousand people
in the middle of nowhere of Illinois. And I just
always say, like, we never didn't know each other. So
like in this town, like there's only one elementary school,
one middle school, one high school. And so Nick graduated
(27:08):
high school two years before me. So I'm two years
younger than him, And I mean I was in kindergarten
with his younger brother. Him and I graduated high school together.
My grandparents. Nick's grandparents were both farmer friends. My dad
graduated with his uncle, like just small town. Have always
(27:28):
known each other, but then whenever I was in high school,
I kind of became better friends with his group of friends,
and then we actually started dating my senior year of
high school, which was his sophomore year of college. So yeah,
I don't really.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Remember it, how like just cool it was.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Here's the thing, like I wish I remembered a moment
that I met you. I just always knew who Nick
Johnson was. If you would have told like and most do,
if you would have told me that, like someday I
was going to like have two kids with Nick Johnson
and live in Arizona, like that would have seemed bizarre.
But like I remember, one of my first memories of
(28:07):
you was in middle school and you were in eighth
grade and I was in sixth grade. This was the
first time I thought you were cool. And I don't
know if I've ever told you this. This is this
is this is the first time I thought you were cool.
Sixth grade, Kaitlin, eighth grade, Nick. And there was a
talent show and you performed as a part of jamming
(28:31):
and you did a little number two backstraight boys. I
want it that way, right, Yeah, I'm not making this up.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
No it didn't.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
And you guys all were these shirts because it was like,
what was it Josh, Aaron, Matt and Nick Yeah, uh
huh jam and they did this dance and I was like, oh,
Nick is so cool. And that was sixth grade Kaitlin.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Uh yeah, that was tribute.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
I thought he was really cool. And then of course
we like I knew who he was. But anyway, that
was my first time that I was like.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I mean, everybody knew who it was. I mean that
we did, and every I mean I mean, that was
still to this day one of the most disappointing days
of my life.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Did you not win?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
No, we didn't place. Wait seriously, yeah, we didn't even place.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Oh my gosh, you were the only act that was
like memorable in my brain. Who won?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
I don't know, but I know that it wasn't us,
and they're a big fit. I took my shirt off.
I mean, that's probably what I won't take my shirt
off now.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Yeah, how did you guys meet?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Well, let's take it back to Carlonville two thousand and whatever.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I'm trying to think of my first memory with you, Like,
like you said, like there was like the like Caitlin
Harron has always been a person in my life. I
can't think of a like a specific moment, like we
went we went to high school together. We were in
the same musicals, like I was on the football team,
(29:59):
you were cheerleader. Like it was like always just kind
of around. It was, you know, just one faithful night
in the middle of a cornfield. Yeah, and how how
all love stories typically begetting Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:14):
When he for that night, I was at a party
in a cornfield like you do in the Midwest, and
Nick came to meet up with some friends and then
he serenaded me with a whole New World. So I
guess that's where our hieraoke journey.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I have such a such an incredible singing voice. You do,
people don't understand.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
We'll save that for the next pod.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Yeah. Also, Hey, so Grant and I've been doing these
TV hits. This is a completely side note. We've been
doing the TV hits and Grant's been putting little promo
teasers up and he put one up on the Reddit
page and it featured me in a in my like
my sophomore year high school football uniform, and one of
(30:59):
the comments was, there's no way, that's Nick in a
football jersey. I was like, I don't know how to
take that because it's it is abnormally large, like the
jersey is abnormally large on my body. But is it
I can't picture Nick playing football? Or is it that
doesn't look like Nick.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
That doesn't look like Nick. I think that doesn't look
like Nick.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
It's probably because the glow up.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Oh yeah, you've had Zaddy.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah, yeah, I got a I got a haircut.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
You've got a beard in the glasses. Yeah, and you're
like really little and beardless in that picture.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Anyway, I played the football. It's important people know what
else you got.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
How did you meet Jesus Christ?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
What are you enjoying having the kids so close in
age now that you're past the baby stage?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Yeah, hard, Yes, yeah, it was tough. It was tough
for a while. And those who have twins, I salute never.
I will never stop giving you a standing ovation because
it was like our children are seventeen months apart and
(32:21):
we had the first one in May of twenty twenty.
We don't have to go over how tough like that
time was the uncertainty of everything, and then you know,
just as we planned it little man comes not even
you know, we should post the video of me finding
(32:42):
out finding out because I almost fainted. Yeah, And so
she was born in May of twenty twenty. We found
out Kyla was pregnant again in February March, in March
of twenty one and it was like, oh God, and
it's just like I'm getting I'm sweaty just thinking about it.
(33:03):
Fast forward now almost five years and they are like
best friends and they have a great group of friends
around them too that since they are so close in age,
like neither one feels left out when we're going to
X person's birthday party because they're all together and it's
(33:28):
fun seeing them interact. It's fun. We were just playing
in the front yard earlier. They were playing family, and
you know, he's always the cat.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
She's the mom, he's the gut.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
It doesn't matter what they're playing. She also loves playing
Taylor Swift and is he Travis Kelce no? Is he
Ed Sheeran No, he is the Taylor Swiss Cat.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
And she performs and he crawls around just saying meo, meo.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yeah, and weirdly, in the off chances that he's the baby.
He also makes that same noise.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah, it's so much better now, I think. I look
back at pictures. There was one that popped up the
other day of us, like at the pediatrician's office with
both of them when they were super little, and I'm like,
oh my gosh, how did we do that? But you know,
I people always asking what's the perfect age gap? I'm like,
I don't really know. It was hard, but now it's
so much fun. Like I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
I guess this one it's probably just for me. Why
did you repel off the side of the John Jay
and Rich building? Besides quote they told me to that
was a time when I was like to be if
I'm being completely candid, I was doing everything I could
(34:56):
to work full time in radio. Again, like I I
had went through a period in my life when it
first got out of college that I did have a
full time radio job. I was working. And I have
always been a person that loves stunts, Like I love
being the stunt boy. I love going out, Like there's
(35:17):
a period where I would just wear like a lobster
costume any interview that they would do. There's a picture
of John Jay and Rich and Kyle and Susette with
the Governor of Arizona, and I am also on that
stage in a lobster costume. Why no reason. We all
just thought it was a funny thing to do, and
(35:40):
I just wanted it so bad that I was going
to do anything it took to get me there. And
when I was told we're going to do a week
of superhero school, we want you to train to be
a superhero. Like first of all was the idea that
I pitched, and it was coming to Fruition and it
(36:02):
was like I was going to be featured. It was like, oh,
I'll do anything. There were other things that were pitched
that were going to be easier, some that were not legal,
but we landed on this, you know, the grand finale
of repelling off the side of the building. And I
don't even know that I told you that I was
(36:24):
doing it because I thought you would be upset, but
I know that after it happened, you obviously found out.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Oh. I don't remember at all what year was that.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
I mean, I was beardless. I think I say it's
twenty eighteen, maybe twenty nineteen. I had to look up
when Avengers because I think it was Adventures of Infinity War.
But yeah, I'm pretty sure I didn't say anything about
what was happening until it was happening.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
I wouldn't have been mad. I just would be concerned
for your safety.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Yeah, I mean we didn't have kids at that point,
so there was not the.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
How about this one? See money favorite local breweries and
favorite beer of all time?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Who's this one? Is this?
Speaker 1 (37:20):
This is at Museum dot Shorty.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Hmmm, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
It's probably Tea Pain's friend.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
I mean we have to say Goldwater, right, I mean yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Goldwater Brewing is my favorite brewery ever.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
We also have like a emotional connection to that. That
was like the like we've been going there since it
like opened, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
I mean the they opened this. Yeah, they opened that.
We moved here.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Yeah Goldwater. I would say hop Chowda, like it's hard
to beat. Yeah, love hop Chowda. So we are I
p a folks over here. Other breweries that we like
in the valley. I mean, ren House is fantastic.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
We love the shop.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
The shop is great. They have good beers.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Roses by the stairs well because.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Yeah that's beer. And Blinkwin eighty two.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Yeah, that one's perfect.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Well, I said all of your same interests from two
thousand and two, so that's blankwent eighty two as well.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Okay, we like Fade.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
But not for their beers, but more for their patio.
I think if we're looking for like beers, I think
that we typically go for like a gold Water or
wren House. We like Wilderness.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
I mean. The thing is is that Arizona's brewery game
has improved so much in the last even in the
last five years, but especially in the last ten. And
you know, it's like picking your favorite kid, right, It's
like all of them have something, yeah, you know that
that we love, even like cider Core.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Like huss I like coffee cols like Yeah flags af
We like Dark.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Sky, Dark Sky, Mother Road both.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
I think they said favorite beer of all time. I
feel like three Floyd still has a special place in
my heart. Maybe it's just because of it.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
There is this tiny brewery in Munster, Indiana, and at
the time that we lived in Chicago, we lived there
for a year. They didn't distribute outside of the Chicago
Land area, and it was Zombie Dust, so exclusive. It
was such a it was like a on tap.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
It was like ye run.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Right and it was like it would be a full
release day and like there would be a line around
the block, and it was. And the beer itself was
was great too. We always talk about Belching Beaver in
San Diego. We had the most delicious like chocolate, peanut butter.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
It wasn't a stout though. We went this is the weekend.
We got engaged and we like walked to like ten
different breweries in San Diego and Belging Beaver was one
of them. And I don't know what it was, but
it was a peanut butter, chocolate something, but it was
not a stout. It was like light colored like a
logger and it was on nitro too. It was so good.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Yeah, and we have been able to find it since.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
But we talked about it, we.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Talked, we talked about it just a couple of days ago.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
We talked about it like this has been That was
twenty fifteen. We've talked about the beer for ten years.
Melting Beaver. If you're out there, what is that?
Speaker 1 (40:43):
And if I go around, Yeah, if I go around,
the Valley Hop Chowder church music from really like the Walleys. Yeah,
the Walies from Renhouse are always fantastic. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
I just.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
It's like I said, it is hard to pick your.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Favorite, but you picked gold water.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
But that is what I picked. Yeah, and I will
and I will stand by that.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
You're welcome, Parker.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
I used to I used to have a beer Instagram account.

back into.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
It is that Joey and.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
My whole No, that's it everyone. Oh no. And so
when Joey left for John Jaye Rid Show, his name
on Instagram was at Joey Bradfish and then he he
changed his Instagram handle, and I thought to myself, man,
it would be really funny if I took his old
(41:42):
Instagram handle and started posting identical things that he was posting,
like within a couple hours of when he did it,
and then I camera it was it was like I
had to wait like a week until and then I
immediately forgot the password and couldn't and couldn't get back in,
and I still still can't get back in. Since then,
(42:04):
he has tried. He's reached out to see if I
can give it back to him, and I can't because
I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
And that's why he's at Joey Inas.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
Rather than at Joey Bradfish. So sorry, Joey, I don't
mean to. I don't mean to. Sorry under sandwich. Uh.
