So we're super excited about that, but before we get into all of that and we get into today's episode, we need to talk about the thing that is keeping everyone's lives together right now. And that is Microsoft, 360, 5 co-pilot. You know, before we get into a little album discussion,

So excited for today's episode. So excited to have Tara and Johnny on. Good talk about
about the Olympics and traders and all of that good stuff. But before we get into all of that, I really want to talk about Harry. But how is your weekend? Yeah. How are you guys doing? You know, we just want to talk about Harry's new album. But how are you doing? Good. I had a lovely weekend and you know, saw some friends, went out a little bit, had some fun. It was good. Very solid, nice weekend at home. Friday just got to relax, catch up on some on some programs, TV,
all that, all that jazz. You know, it was a nice catch-up on some programs. Some good programs. There was really hot. There has been some good ones. And yeah, that's kind of it. We went to Thursday night. We did like a late birthday celebration for Gia. So birthday was the end of February. But we were away. So we didn't see her and my brother is here in New York for a week or so. So we're like, oh, well, well, do that together. And it was great.
So fun. Yeah. Sounds amazing. It was nice. Sunday was went for a nice long walk with the with olive because it was finally cracking like 60 degrees. It was so nice. Which is how people are
βfeeling. We got fake spring right now. We're in fake spring. That's why I picked my pink. My pinkβ
shirt. Yeah. Because fake spring is here. We're in fake spring. I looked at my closet. I said, oh, no sweater for you today, darling. You got to put on a pink shirt. Exactly. And there is that there's a viral meme that gets shared every year where it's the seasons. You know, you don't actually have four seasons in New York. It's like eight because there's a, there's a
fake out. There's a second summer. There's a first spring. Like, there's always you get that
little bit of time. And right now, it's fake spring. So you get like three, four days of beautiful sunshine, 60 degrees. And then come like the weekend. Again, it's going to be cold. And you're like, you get a little sprinkle of winter before we fully get to spring. Even though they are saying this is supposed to be a warmer spring than usual. I'll take what we can get though on a Monday, like, a Monday morning. We could just put that in a little pep with the sunshine in the weather
feeling good, like, frick. I'm not complaining. And the, and the clocks changed, which can be a little disorienting when it comes to the morning, because it's dark out still. You know, it's like, so you get the darker mornings, but this obviously later in the day, you get the later sunsets. But the wake up is disorienting because you're used to a certain amount of light outside at the normal time that you wake up. And then when your alarm goes off, and you're like, it's still
Dark out.
You know, every year is like, oh my God, it's this weekend. It just gets you. And even Saturday,
I was talking about it with all my friends in Sunday. I still was like, oh my God, the clock changed. You know, yeah, I'd have no idea unless everyone was talking about it. You know, you're like, it really does, you know, oh, that's this weekend. Yep. But then by next weekend, you got to adjust it to it and you're happy that it's light out. Exactly. Spring forward. And then we get those later sunsets, which is, you know, longer days. It'd be a beautiful Sunday sunset to start us off.
It was gorgeous. It was gorgeous. Cotton candy skies could sing about 655 p.m. Delightful. It just gets better and better. You realize you, you realize as you get older, it makes such a big difference. The whole daylight saving thing. Because as the kid, I don't know, you're not really paying
that much attention to what you're like, oh, the clock's changed. Whatever, maybe it's annoying
when you wake up, go to school. You're like, this sucks. But it's not, it's way more like impactful as an adult. I mean, because those winter months, they just really get you. And then when the
βclock goes and you get that's first 655 p.m. sunset, you're like, please. I think I said this lastβ
year, too. But I could have swore that they like pass something to get rid of daily savings. And I don't know if it's just like, takes a few years to like implement, but no, I think you're talking about, but I don't know if it did. It's like, it may be got, it may be went like one round. Yeah. You know, it went one round. Daily savings. Okay. It's not permanently ending in 2026. Yeah. Yeah, not, well, not now. I think it was talked about it ending about, while 29 states
have introduced legislation to stop the changes federal action as required to make it permanent. Yeah. Exactly. So it's like the states can do it. But then, you know, you can't have some states doing it, some states aren't. I know. I know, I know. But imagine like, I guess they really could. I guess it really does matter, but it would just be kind of crazy if New Jersey had a different time than New York. Then, yeah, that would be like disoriented. Like it's fine because it's Arizona,
we have a time difference anyway for Arizona. We're on these coastblocks saying like, if that, if certain states on the east coast decided to change it, and then for us, we spring forward, and others just don't do it. Wait. So then, I don't even realize that. So like Arizona is like an hour is, is an hour like a head of California or a back or behind California for a while.
βI guess that's interesting. I think it must be. If they don't. Yeah. Yeah.β
Because, right, it's a difference of us. Sometimes like when we're, it's three hours or two hours. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What are there? So yeah, like that'd be kind of crazy. You can't be commuting and having the whole time zone at different time when you get them. I'm like, "Sure, I'm going to like Jersey, passes it, but New York doesn't say you cross the bridge and it's like you're going backwards." What would be crazy? What would be crazy? What would be crazy? What crazy would be? What crazy would be?
Just set that. I don't fucking fuck. Yeah. That would be so insane if Brandon would be so crazy if I looked to read and said, "We can't have New Jersey in New York having different lives." And then I said, "Yeah, that would be just New York." You know what crazy is. Speaking of me like repeating things, we put out that clip of like the Birkin back then. Yes. And I found out from a comment that you had already said that. We had already been talking earlier about how we didn't have Birkins. Yes.
That's okay. You know what? We love you for it. Yeah. That one was not as egregious. This one I made. I just said it. Maybe 15 seconds ago. I thought you were talking about going here. If Brandon, maybe it's just the tone of your voice. Maybe. Yeah. I'm not sure how you're happy that. I don't just do it to you. Yeah. Well, yeah, now that's everybody. Yeah, remember when he told me it was the tone of your voice. Whatever. The frequency of my voice. Just it's a certain frequency.
I was like, when you play that ringing noise and dogs. Only dogs can hear it. Yeah. Exactly.
βThat's how we sound to you now. That was funny. People really laughed at that clip. I saw a lot of peopleβ
saying, hey, I think no one's got to get the girl's birthday. Oh my god. I know what was this a broken bag. A shared one. We'd have to share it. Yeah. You can't get to it. What do we get there? I'm not paying for it. No one's hooking that. No one's hooking that. No one's hooking that. No one's hooking that. But do you don't you don't think Rob got like some stuff? No, no. A lot of people online
I'm seeing things like they look it up like you tagged the place. No, no, no. No, see here's the thing.
People would assume that because in most in most other industries, yes, that would work. Yeah. Like even was a piece of jewelry or like I think there's I think there's places that maybe that could happen. Not for free, but perhaps a discount. A Birkin? No, I think you're just tagging them right. I think you're saying thank you because that he didn't have to fight a pair. Yeah, like thank you just for being able to give this to me. Yeah, this is like a second hand.
Like this isn't like coming straight from the. Yeah, but you're still not going to get a discount.
No, you're not getting a discount.
But that's a person that he adds or more rare. That's kind of more on the cheaper side for Birkins. No.
βNot necessarily. Oh, really? Well, I think Birkins can be very, very, very expensive.β
Yeah, it depends on the material, the hardware. You know, they're certainly like an exotic Birkin, where those could be hundreds, hundreds of thousands of dollars. What's that come from the moon? Like exotic. Yeah, well, it's yeah. Yeah. I don't know that they make should add a like alligator and stuff. Well, we've got us a Birkin and then we'll just share it. Like we'll do designated weekends. Yeah. Yeah. We have shared custody of it. Yeah, we just have a Birkin.
We really think that if you like made it your goal, like, I'm kidding. Like you don't, I'm sure you could get one. Like it would probably take a lot of work made people. Yeah, it's not like like say money's not an object. Like you could get one. It's not that it's like, we're like, oh my god, it's so insanely unattainable for us. It's just more so we don't want to spend that much money on a bag. Yeah. Thank you, I got to go through through
the approval process. It's just, it's a whole thing. You got to, if you have one that you like, you got to source, we're just lazy, I guess. It's like a mat. Like it's, it's not even, I don't even, I don't even want it. Like, we don't love the bag so much that we're, I'm willing to drop tens of thousands of dollars on this bag. I don't love the bag that much. Exactly. I don't like want this bag. Yeah. Really bad. If I wanted it that badly,
yeah, you like looking at it. It's like an investment, because that is how many people look at
their collections of bags. Yeah. But, yes. When she always be worried, that would be like,
it's just in my apartment. Like, what are some broken in my apartment? Well, look at what happens all that real housewives of Beverly Hills is they've had their, really? Like, so many of them had their houses broken into and all their shit gets taken, all their bags, all their jewelry. Did you see or, you were right about Jake Shane, Rob going on,
βJake Shane's pocket. Yeah. I think Lisa and I, Lisa spilled the beans down a little bit better. Yeah,β
I don't know if Lisa was supposed to say that, but we could have contributed together. Yeah. I mean, kind of makes sense. It's like, if they're recording the podcast together, then it's like, hey, Jake, can you come along with us? Yeah. I watched, I watched Nick Jonas on therapist, and it really cracked me up because Nick is just like two serious all the time. He is so like serious. So I'm just like, loosen up my guy and he's in, and he's like,
yeah, I'm a Virgo and everyone says I'm a very typical Virgo. But I kept giggling because it was the most neck thing ever that he was able to spin Jake asking about the send it on a music video into how it was actually a really great cause that Disney was advocating for and like they wanted to make get the message out there and taking care of the planet. And like, it goes on this whole thing about, you know, why it was impactful at the time to like, for young kids to care about
the planet and all these things. And meanwhile, like, because Jake was like, what was that like making that video? You know, Jake just wanted the TV from the behind the scenes of the send it on video and next like, well, we were trying to say the planet, okay, Jake? You know, I know he is literally like,
βhe really knows how to spin all of his answers. That's why they called him as president.β
I saw the clip about like the him calling it Love Island on crack, the Disney games. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not that serious guy. Like people were trying to, it's like, but you kind of make it sound like when he talks, he's like, talks in a serious way. He, he really, you just want to like shake him up a little bit and be like, it's all right to loosen up a little bit, Nick. You don't got to give that serious of an answer. You're on there.
You're on a show called Therapus. Where he calls his fans pussy. So, I mean, shake it up a little bit. And there were times where they were, they like, you know, they're totally having fun, but it is funny because I feel like Jake can jump around from topic to topic. And so like, they'll be talking about one thing. And then you like, actually, you know what? That's what the send it on music video. And he's like, sure. What do you want to know about it?
He was like, what was it like? He's like, well, we were trying to save the planet. Yeah. He did get a little bit by being like, you know, it was a little crazy just because you don't you have a lot of big personalities, the schedules and all that. I actually watched a TikTok this weekend that you know, when you just all of a sudden are caught watching a TikTok and it's like a 10 minute long video, but you're like, I'm watching this whole thing. It was a, like, 2000,
eight, nine breakdown of Nick Miley and Selena. And God, I was hooked. And it took me back. So it took me back. And I'm saying these pictures and these interviews. And I'm like, wow, what a time. You really forget. It's just like the way that they would speak by each other. It's like, Barbara Walters is asking
them these very intimate questions. Always. It was in like for some reason. It was Hayes. Barbara Walters.
I'm like, she's, she's, she's talking about, you know, she's talking to them ...
and like their breakup. And all these days, I'm like, they weren't really like 15 years old.
βThey were so young. And the way that like, these, and a lot of times, there's Barbara Walters,β
would ask these kids questions and then be like, like, even like Britney Spears, they're just in type of like, like, you're, you're, are you a virgin? It's like, imagine just
getting into an interview and asking me that like, it's crazy. That would never, it really,
to think that they asked young kids when they were, and especially like kids who were dating, like, Nick Miley and, you know? And you know what? They were talking about, like, they played a clip of Miley before she sang full circle. And she was like, on stage, she was like, I wrote this song about, you know, someone is always going to be in my, like, we just always kind of keep coming back to each other. And then she's like, you know, spoiler. It's
about a genre's mother. Like, you know, everyone cheers or freaks out. And no wonder Nick is like this, because then they, there was another interview where there, you couldn't see the
person interviewing them. It was like a, you know, video hit or something. And the guy was talking
βabout Miley, like writing songs about him. And then he's like, you think you should be gettingβ
some residuals from all these songs. She's writing about you and he's like, ha, funny. You're like, yeah, what the fuck is he supposed to say to that? Like, what kind of question is that? Yeah, they really, they really got, it's wild. They were trying to bait people like a lot. And I think he really is like jaded from that. I think he has gotten, you know, he can be very like diplomatic in his interviews. And not that he would ever, he like, oh, yeah, let me tell you all the things like
that was happening with Miley and Selena when we were 15. Like, it's, it's over. And everyone's married. Like, it's not something that they probably want to rehash because then everybody would
have a million things to say. If anyone's going to talk about it, it'll be Miley Cyrus. Yeah,
I feel like she can be an open book a lot of times. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And she'll just be like, I'm just fucking crazy. Yeah. And it's just not that, it's just not that deep because it's like, for us, it was that deep. It is deep. I know it's just like real crazy because it was so deep because it just like took over our lives. It's literally all we cared about for them. They're like, we were 15. You guys are obsessed with my relationship when I was 15. Like, a magic. I can't even
imagine what life would be like if I was constantly asked about the person I did, it was 15. Yeah. And we're not people. I mean, I don't shut up. Yeah. Like, let's put like a mix like I'm a married man. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. But no, they were that it did, it did make me get a little watching them watching them talk for sure. It made me laugh, but it was also making me slightly uncomfortable. Yeah. Yeah. Because I was like, okay. You could laugh, Nick. All right. Here.
βBut besides that, I think that we really just want to dive into Harry's whole album song by songβ
because my goodness gracious. I thrilled. I listened to this on Friday by the pool. Had a nice weekend in Florida, just some family, some family fun. It was great. And then Friday, the album comes out. And I'm like, oh, the perfect time to listen to this in the sunshine. Then in my headphones, then on the plane. Then at home on the Netflix show. And I was like, oh my god, I was eating it all up. So I think we're going to get into Harry's album song by song discourse as well as the weekly
watch report because we have a lot to discuss with that. And a great interview with Tara and Johnny, which we are so, so excited about. So let's get into it. We're so excited to be headed back on tour with Rumhaven. This weekend, we are going to be serving up some delicious Rumhaven cocktails in Seattle and San Diego. And honestly, we're going to have a nice time and a little rooftop drinking some Rumhaven. Maybe having a little photo shoot, we cannot wait for it because right now,
the world is loud. It's filtered. It is fake. But not here, not with us and not with Rumhaven. Rumhaven is where the noise fades and the real comes out, where you can unbutton expectations and sip on what's true and what's natural. And that is Rumhaven. One taste of pure King sugar and real coconut water will let you feel the difference. And it's what real taste like that place, that feeling, that mindset, where everything finds its balance. So open up a bottle of Rumhaven,
lose that small talk and find the good vibes because the best moments aren't fake. They're simply real like Rumhaven made for real. So exciting, Harry Styles knew album kiss all the time,
Disco occasionally came out on Friday and listen, ladies and gentlemen, mostl...
you know, a little bit nervous because I have high hopes for my guy Harry. I was like,
βI'm like an all of the album. We already got tickets to the show in London in June. I'm just so excited.β
Harry's house wasn't my favorite but fine line is like my favorite album ever. How am I going to feel about this? And the way that I feel is that I fucking love this album. I am so thrilled. I am so happy. I also have any enormous sense of relief because my goodness, what would I say if I didn't like this album right here right now? Yeah, I would have to like break it to everybody that I didn't like this album. That would be heartbreaking. That would be heartbreaking. It would. But that is not
how I feel. No, you're going to go back to back. You know, that would not go. No, because then it would be like, okay, so you only like fine line. That would be really tough. There. I love this album. I am so excited. We're going to go song by song. I have the track list pulled up short album only 42 minutes. 12 songs. I like it though. It's concise. Yeah. Which means I like every song
βon here. Yeah. There's not a song that I don't like. And I will say, I think we probablyβ
nailed it pretty well when we were talking about the album when the name came out that we thought, oh, super exciting. You know, disco. Maybe that's kind of vibrating and then we're like, it does say disco occasionally occasion. And honestly, I feel like I'm glad we kind of went into it thinking that way because yes, there are totally the ones you want to get up and dance to, but then there are some, you know, deeper, slower ones that are just beautiful. Some of his best ever,
I think, really just incredible. Yeah. Harold, like the way that you saved us with this album this
weekend, like thank you so much. Thank you. Yeah. On the bottom of my heart, Harry, Edward Styles. I love you. I freaking love you. Anyways, we'll start with the top. So the first song on the album is aperture. Yep. Now this was the first single on the album. Yep. And I have to say, aperture, probably on my bottom list of songs that I like on this album. Really? Yes. That's still pretty much on my own. That's like a top five for me. Oh, really? Yeah. I still love it.
But I love so many that there's kind of false words at the bottom for me. That's fair. Which was, when you listened to the album, did you listen to aperture first or do you have
to get because you're already heard it? No, I listen to aperture first. I skipped it on my first
listen. My first and second listen, I skipped it, but then as like walking around or like doing cleaning in the apartment or walking the dog, I'm starting with number one. So then I would press then I would go aperture all the way to the end. Yeah. First listen, I listened to it. And I just was more and more surprised each song, my how much I loved each one. And it got better and better to me as it went on, although I do love a lot of the initial songs. But aperture we already discussed.
So we can move on from that American girls. This is going to be an instant hit for most people. Noah even texted me on the side. He was like, this is a banger. And I'm like, that's not really like, that's either that or aperture is probably my favorite. Yeah. America girls, it's just very catchy. Certainly not his like deepest, but it is catchy as hell. And I love the music video. Honestly, one too many tears shed for me on TikTok this week. And like I just sometimes it just gets you.
And all the fan, I was getting so many fan edits and everything. And there's a lot of the fandom making some one direction parallels from this album. Because I will say and I think I agree that there was like, some of the more like one direction asks sounding songs sometimes, I felt some connections on this. Some connections on this. And in the music video, you know, he's solo on the motorcycle, like that camera view is almost identical to what they did
βfor. That's what makes you, that's what makes you beautiful. And obviously he was with the other guysβ
and knowledge of him solo. And that there was for sure some parallels there that had people in their feels, which is so fair. I think there's probably a, you know, there's a lot of introspective moments on this album. And I've seen a lot of people fighting, you know, fans, this songs about this. No, it's about that. This song, no, it's not like, but I live in my thought processes. A song can have multiple meanings or multiple references. You know what I'm saying?
Like some people think, see the lyrics and they see one lyric. And they're like, the whole song
Is about this because of the one lyric.
Maybe the next lyric is a call back to this. Like it can be multiple things in one song.
Absolutely. But everyone's so quick to be like, that song's about this. That song's about that.
βYeah, I think he'd most artist probably draw inspiration from many things and can incorporateβ
into one song. This one's pretty straight. Love a narrative. He's like, the bands are in love with American girls. Yeah. And it's just catchy, repetitive, very, very catchy. The next song on the album is Ready Study Go. I love this song. I see that this is on the bottom of a lot of people's list. I was surprised by that too. I really love this song too. Immediately it brought me back to like shopping in Abercrombie or Hollister in middle school. Yeah, especially towards the end of
the song. And when he performed it in the Netflix special, he had the, you know, the, I don't even know what it's called. But to like, muffle his voice up a little bit, which I thought was really cool. This one I keep going back to as one that I really like and is pretty high up there for me on the album. I like, you know, there's, there's a couple of lyrics on on this album. We were like, huh? But it works. Yeah. He's like, butterflied both our bellies. I'm like, you know what? I get it.
βI got what he's saying. It said in a different way. But I get it. You and me are skipping sleepβ
with dirty feet. And it's, it's a lot of love in, in a lot of these songs. Definitely. One after that is, are you listening yet? This is a top, every song. I'm like, this is a top song for me. Are you listening yet? Really is a top three for me on this album? I freaking love this song. I just love the way that he gets into it. Yeah. I love that. You know, I don't even know the word that I'm looking for. But it's like fast pace. And it just gets me going. Yeah. You know,
he really does love a repetitive chorus. Not in a bad way. Just like, you know, I'm saying, when you, when you hear, and I don't know if this is gonna sound silly. But like, when you hear the song title, and it obviously matches up perfectly with the chorus. But that is the, that is the line that it was repeated over and over again. So even like, ready, say, go, you're like, ready, said he go. Like, it just immediately starts playing that one part over and over. And it's not
going to be listening. Are you listening? Yeah. It's so good. Yeah. And he's like, it's, it's like, he's, he's talking to us. Yeah. Are you listening yet? Yeah. This one is very chatty. It is singing and more chat. I liked it though. I like to hear him chatty. I like the way that he performed it too. Yeah. He was very into it. I was curious to see how he, because a lot of these songs aren't like easy to perform, I'd say, because there's a lot of production. A lot of production. Yeah.
But it was cool how he did it. Like, I thought it was a song. Yeah. I thought that was really cool. The next one is taste back. This seems to be a crowd favorite. Yeah. I like taste back. I like taste back. I wouldn't say it's quite yet at the top of my list, but it's growing on me more and more. Yeah. After taste back, is the waiting game. Yeah. This is a wall for me. These two, I could kind of like,
I find myself really being pulled to the first few songs and then the last few songs. And these
couple in the middle. I don't know what it is about. And I see people loving the waiting game. But I don't know what it is. There's something about that come, like the beep, like that's happening in the background that really, like, doesn't, I don't like it. Like there's something that is just
βkind of the whole rest of it. I really like. And it's weird because in my head, I think I'm justβ
so distracted by the beeps. And I'm like, if the beeps were out of this, I think I'd really love this song. But the beeps are too much. Yeah. Which is, it's silly and not like it's a crazy thing to focus on. But there's something in my brain that's like, I don't like these beeps. I would say the waiting game in season two weight loss or the two songs I've listened to, the least. Yeah. On this album, I think that maybe I'll go back to them a bit more to see
if they'll grow on me. But right now, they are not the two that I keep going back to. Yeah. And they're kind of, I could skip them. Yeah. This was a little bit of like the, these two,
my first listen, like these shows like, okay. All right. And then, and then, you know, once we hit
coming up roses, I was like, afraid it. This coming up roses, the end of the album is, is no notes fantastic. I was like, this might be his best consecutive songs in a row. Yeah. The, the rest of it is unbelievable after season two weight loss is coming up roses. Yeah. To me, might be a top three Harry Styles song in general. We can go back to season two weight loss for one second because I thought it was funny that he said, because the first you're like, what the
fuck does that mean? Mm-hmm. And he, in his day in low interview, he explained like, you know, when you watch a Netflix show and they get one season and they get signed on for another season, everybody kind of comes back with like a glow up and they look different and like all these things. I was like, that's a, that's a pretty funny concept for a song and not sort of what I expected,
It did, it did make me laugh.
that that's how to like, what is this song going to be about? Yeah. Still probably could have been name something else, but yeah, let it slide. No, but you're absolutely right about roses. It's really, I had one of the most gorgeous songs. I had to like take deep breaths. Yeah. Wow,
listening to the song and still do because the way that it hits me so emotionally, first of all,
the orchestra, this entire song musically is just gorgeous. It's chills, goosebumps every time. I media chills, but on top of that, the lyrics for this song are probably the deepest on this album
βbesides paint by numbers, I think. Yeah. Because a lot of these lyrics are not super deep on,β
it's just a lot of fun. Yeah. But this song is so beautiful and to me, it just like, oh, it gives you that like warm feeling of falling in love and and I just love it and the laying, you know, you let your head on my chest. I'm like, oh, yes, you know, it just, oh, it just does it for me. Yeah, the strings just that second half with the, with the strings moment is just
like breathtaking. It's just so beautiful and I swear like, I had to hold myself together every time
up with a song. I don't like, what? Yeah. My having deep breaths crying to the song every time, but it just hits a part deep in my soul that I really, you know, really feel something with this song. And I think it is so beautifully done. I think it's some of his best work ever. It is a top three Harry song for me, hands down. I will continue going back to this one for the rest of my life. Like, oh, my God. And I love the name of it, too. Yeah. Beautiful. I've seen people really throw everything
there. They're like, this song at my wedding immediately. You know, it's just gorgeous. And I don't think it's maybe like the happiest, does that make sense? Because I feel like, no, but it has, you know,
βhappy moments. Like, yeah, I love the phrase, let's go hangover chasing. I think that's fun.β
Love that. It's like, that's, that's something we could say going forward. Like, you know, let's go hangover chasing tonight. Like, you're going to go get your drink on. You know, you're going to get a hangover and who cares? Because it's just me and you and we're going to deal with that. And then I absolutely just love them. But we'll see out the night with your head on my chest, me and you. Because that's just, oh, that's where I belong. Yeah. Like, that is just the best feeling.
And I just, I absolutely, I'm in love with this song. It's way to go Harry. You, you are right. It's, it's top three. If not number one to be honest, like, for Harry's best song ever. Yeah. Wow. Coming up. Like, what would be the other ones? I'm going to have their top Harry songs. I mean, for me is up there for me. So in the time is up there. Cherry, I love you for some too. Yeah. Carolina. Yeah.
βSweet creatures, honestly. Like, yeah. Great. I think for me, she is always up there asβ
probably my favorite. Yeah. Harry's style song. And I'm even, I'm just going like, not even preference. Because I think everyone has their top three. That's your preference. I'm just thinking of just music, how a objectively stunning stunning song. Yeah. Just musically, like, you, you no matter what kind of music you're like, if you like Harry, you don't like Harry, you listen as all you're like, that's just a stunning song. Yeah. I think I'd maybe go number one, she.
And then it's two and three is sign of the time. Yeah. Coming up roses. But I'm going back and forth right now because right now, it'd be coming up roses. But sign of the times. Yeah. It's probably number two and number three would probably be coming up roses. Yeah. But coming up roses might seem to the top of more lessons. It's just, it's that beautiful. Yeah. And it gives me just that feeling throughout my, throughout my whole body just chills.
Next one after that is pop. Pop is so fun. I think that the rest of the songs on this album are fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No notes. Yeah. Cheers for the rest of the year. This was quite the run after these last five songs. I was like, oh, yes. Pop is so fun. Pop is the one that he had Britney Brosky listen to. Yeah. On royal court. Yeah. Um, and you can tell her reaction. Now, you know why her reaction was that way. Yep. Which I love too, by the way. We didn't really
really talk about that. I love saying Harry having fun and giggling because a lot of times I do
think they do, he does very serious interviews when he puts new albums out. And he always sits
down with Zayn Lowe, which is like, it's interesting to listen to, but it all honestly sometimes I listen and I'm like, do they even know what they're saying? Mm-hmm. Like, it's just like so
Everything so deep.
this note mean in this things. And I'm like, oh, yes. Absolutely do that for the, for the new album. I get it. But mixing in the fun stuff for press is also great too. So seeing him do royal court, I thought was so funny. And being able to make fun of him. Yeah. Like joke and laugh. Cause hairline and Harry's very funny. I have to say though right now, Harry's hair is like really not doing it for me. He's got that British partner cut. It's like an oasis. Yeah.
Whatever's going on, it's like, I was looking at the videos that I had on my phone from 2021 with him in concert. He looks so damn good. His hair was like, you know, like, like a curl to
the whole thing. And we always love Harry. But right now, his hair for me is, I kind of like,
really, it's not kind of a mallet. It's giving rise to you. It's giving rise to you. It is a times.
βOh, no, see, I think it's like, I think it's like, no. I think it's like the Gallagher Brothersβ
situation. Like, he's got that British. Did you know? No, he joked on the royal court that he did, but he didn't, I don't think. But yeah, it is very like, you know, it's got the long in the tail. It's almost totally the sideburns here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the tail and the back. Yeah. By the way, have you seen all the videos I'm just walking around New York this weekend? Yes. Or people ran into him. I saw some people that were like definitely
did see him and then some like saw Harry Styles like impersonator. No, there, there was one
where they said that they saw him like on the bridge and they were listening to the album and they showed him. And that's the video where he like fist bumps in my dreams. He really does just love walking around New York. I thought, like, God, I just wasn't here this weekend. He's been walking around. He's like, and he's just enjoying his time because he's doing SNL this week, but he did pop into SNL for Ryan Gosling. He did. And I was just like, oh my God, imagine you get took
it to SNL. You're sitting in the in Harry's next to you. Like, yeah, what a treat. Seriously, what an absolute treat. But no, pop is so fun. Like, yeah, the pop and dance no more are just
βfun songs. I am so sickly obsessed with dancing more. This is, here's the thing. I am torn betweenβ
this being my number one or number two on the album because coming up roses, I say is, yeah,
but in terms of dance fun. Yeah. So I'd maybe say coming up roses number one dance no more is a very close number two. They're so, so different that it's hard to jump to them. Dance no more is so freaking fun. And it's exactly what I was looking for from this album. Yeah. As soon as I hit play on the song, I was like, yes, yes, Harry. Like, this is exactly such a sorry. It's crazy. So that's one of the song made me feel. It's such a funny layer. It is DJ's don't dance no more. And they
sit. And you know, it's like, you're absolutely correct. You know what I mean? Like, we're doing sometimes just pressing fucking buttons. And Harry's up there. He's pressing buttons. He's dancing around the stage. I am upset. This gives me like David Bowie. Yes. And also gave me um, and then when they're played. Yes, Pink Flood, another brick in the wall. Yeah, another brick in the wall.
βYes. That's when I was in the way that they say like, what do you say? Yes. That's why Iβ
eat it up because I love that song. And I, that all gives me chills. Like, you know, oh God, you're so right. This one is just so, so, so good. And I'm obsessed with it. And I wanted you know, but like you said, disco occasionally. But he gave us, but he gave us disco in this. But I will say it was diabolical for him to go from dance. So more into paint by numbers. Yeah. It's like you six out of a bitch. You had us dancing our asses off. But you said,
breather. Absolutely diving. No, but then we had to take a cryer. We didn't have to take a breather. We had to dive into another cryer. Another one. Because you guys want us to sound like you guys space up coming up roses and paint by you got to, you know, like you can't be back to back. But how are you going to have me dancing to dance a more and they have me crying? Yeah. To paint by numbers. Because to me, this was my interpretation of paint by numbers. And I'm sure other people have
other interpretations. And I'm sure it can be many things. But holding the weight of the American children who's hard to break to me felt like one direction. Like he's talking about maybe their breakup. Yeah. Liam's passing. Like I thought that there were a lot of tones playing with water guns about Olivia Wilde's kids. And I really don't think it's easy. It's a lifetime of picking one or the other kids with water guns. Watch them run. Yeah. No, I came down a lot of
times. The amount of times they were on stage like spraying each other with water guns. And like
I thought as soon as I heard this song, I thought, oh, this feels like this f...
introspective on him and his and the truth and growing up. And when he was asked about this,
he immediately went into talking about the passing of his friend and losing a friend. So I do,
βyeah, think it has tones of that in the song. And that's what I took from it. And I think it's prettyβ
crazy seeing the fandom fight over like what they think the song is about. I'm sure there could be references to multiple things. But I really do think he's, you know, more so talking about his own experiences from that age and like how now looking back, how he felt. And I just, I'm losing a friend and losing some of the group. And yeah, I'm not even, I guess because people are stuck on the Olivia Wilde. I'm not even 30. But that didn't even cross my mind. And I
still, because they're talking about like, oh, like the 30, you know, him mentioning 33. But I'm like, that could just be a Liam reference. And they, yeah, because they were all not 30. Yeah. So I felt this one deeply. Yeah. I thought that this was a bit of a heavy one. Another beautiful song.
βNo, yeah. It really is. And then the last one on the album is Karla Song. Yeah. And I think thatβ
this is a great way to wrap up this album. I think that the song is great. I think it's fun, interesting and a great way to close out the album. Agreed. And you know, shout out Karla because what a dream it would be to have Harry Styles write a song dedicated to you. Karla is a real person, just one of his friends. And they've, you know, had a musical connection and about Paul Simon. Yeah, about Paul Simon. Yeah. And now he's just got, you guys whole last cardless song.
And it's a fun song, really cool. And I think it was a really good way to end the album. Because it felt like a little bit of everything. It felt like a little bit of that sort of like chronic sense stuff that he was that he's doing. But also, you know, more lyrical and more singing. Does that make sense? And just like how some of the earlier songs are. And it just kind of pulled it all together to end it in that way. Because I kind of see it in like sections. You know,
aperture to, to season two weight loss. There's a lot of that. I saw people saying, you know, you had talked a lot about LCD sound system and things like that. And while yes, it's not like in your face. Oh, my God, this totally has like an LCD sound system sound. There's definitely,
you know, more of an electronic production element in that first half. I feel like. And then
you get coming up roses. You get paint by numbers. But then like pop dance and more, dance and more have way more of like pop and dance and more have a little bit more of that disco-y vibe. Then the first half is definitely, you know, you can dance to it for sure. But it definitely has more electronic production. Yeah. So it's like a little bit of disco, but a little bit of current pop electronic dance music combination. Just digging it all. Yeah, I'm just
βtotally obsessed with this album. I think that this is my second favorite Harry album ever.β
I think fine line is number one. Yeah. Kiss all the time. Just go occasionally. Number two. His debut. Number three. Although I do love his debut album. Yeah. That is a, that's an album that is up there for me. And I, you know, I went about struggling with this last night thinking what I put that at number two or what I put this one at number two. But I'm so hard to do right when a new album comes out, you know, but I just think right now I'm going to put it at
number two. Yeah. Maybe I'll switch back here. No, yeah. I think it's, because it always changes and
then when a new album comes out and that shifts everything around. And also part of me wants to respect like Harry's grown. Yeah. Like this is the music that Harry wants to put out right now. And I'm going to support him. Right. And I love it. And then Harry's house will fall last for me. But God. Am I just feeling top five songs? Yes. I will get my top five songs for this album. I will do. Oh God. It's so hard to order them. I love it. I'm so happy. I just am so happy.
I'm going to do number one coming up roses. Number two. Dance no more. Number three. Are you listening yet? Oh, this is too hard for me. Oh, this is too hard. Oh God. It's really hard. I don't know what to do either. Because it just changes. I'm going to go paint my numbers. Yeah. And I'm going to go ready. Study go. But I do really love American girls and I love Carlos song and I love pop. Yeah. So I'm on the other songs. I love all the other songs besides the waiting game.
Waiting game is easy to do.
We're making these graphics. Yeah. No, no, no. Let's just list for sure because it's going to change
by the time the graphic comes out. No, it always does. Beauty of it. Because American girls
is just so good. But I feel like that's just like an obvious. It's obviously good. You know. Yeah.
βBut you got to put it on the, you know, it's, but I think it's just, if you do you signβ
of the time, it's obviously good, too. Yeah. Like the obviously good songs are, are obviously good. I, you're right. Like I'm like, if it's obviously good, then why wouldn't it be in my top? Yeah. I think I would go dance. No, I think I would go coming up, Rose. I got the same one until going coming up, Rose is dance. No more American girls. Carlos song. Ready, set, you go. Even though aperture, like, I think does crack my top five, aperture, like, would
be six. And like aperture and I said it go or are interchangeable in my mind. I think I might have to change a paint by numbers in American girls. Because I think I will listen to American girls more. Yeah. But I've really, paint by numbers as a gorgeous, I just think paint by numbers as a gorgeous song. You're like, you're saying, like, paint by numbers as out. Yeah. Take paint by, by numbers out and put American girls in. But paint by numbers, it seems so special to me that I don't want to just neglect it.
βSo that'll be six. I think you got it. Yeah. I got a switch. There's no six.β
Ready, setting. I think I really do like ready, setting go. But if I were listening back and for the aperture, I'm going to aperture. I think five is aperture for me. I do really like aperture. I think I just have bias because I've been listening to it for weeks. I've been listening to it for weeks. Well, these people will not like it or not. It makes people not want to put it on their list because it's like I've been listening to it for weeks. And now I have all these new songs
to listen to. But when I think about it in the grand scheme, and honestly listening to it in the Netflix thing was actually really helpful. Like him playing at first and last. I was like, this song really fucking obviously he loves it. Yeah. He loves a single and then played at twice. Yeah. Yeah.
How about him singing from the dining table? That was awesome. Yeah. So he never does. And the crowd
went crazy. You could hear them all singing at the top of their lungs. Because then, of course, he did, you know, golden as it was when my sugar did the sound of the times, played the hits. But I need to throw in one for everybody there, which I thought was really cool because you never hear him sing from the dining table. No. I'm curious about what he's set list is going to be like something like, yeah, you're going to not play a song that I love from this album.
Not going to play everyone. Yeah. You probably won't play. Oh, but I'm like, well, I don't know. That's it. No, he's not going to play all. No, he's not going to play all of them, but I'm pretty long, though. Like, there's not that many. I mean, I don't, yeah, he won't play. Yeah,
but he never, it's not like he played every song from Harry's house at Harry's house. No, yeah.
Well, I'm just thrilled. I just am so freaking happy and I cannot wait. I can't believe we get to see this man perform this in person. Oh, God. Thank you, Harry. Let me tell you something. We are going to be a goddamn puddle when he does coming up roses and they bring the whole, I'm sure I'll have the whole string section, all the, the musicians on stage, just listening to it on Netflix. It sounded unbelievable and just like those moments in real life when you just
when you can experience music like that and a beautiful string section like that, it's, nothing is better. It really, it sends a shiver down my spine just thinking about it. It's so stunning. It really is. I wish that I had written down the timestamp of the specific note. Oh, yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. Oh, I know exactly what you're talking about. Oh,
βI know the exact one who you. Yep. I believe that's the one where I was walking toβ
to breakfast on Friday and just one tier fell down my face and you'd write as it hit that one note. It's just that one. Yeah. Just one part and you're like, oh, yeah. Yep. I couldn't even, like, a thorn from a stem. I'm going to die. I'm going to die right at that part, you know? We all know the exactly what we're talking about. Oh, I know exactly what we're talking about. Well, honestly, this is my favorite album that that has come out in a long time, like in general. And yeah,
that just freaking warm. Thank you, Harry. Thank you. I love you, Harry. Oh, my God. Good night, bad chest. All right. Moving on. We're getting into the weekly watchport, but I'm so excited to crack open a Pepsi pre biotic cola. This is the cherry vanilla flavor. I'm going to take a sip. Hmm. I am obsessed with this cherry vanilla Pepsi pre biotic cola. It is so good. Whether I'm
Having it with my lunch as a midday pick me up or I'm just sitting on the couch.
open a Pepsi or for dinner really any time of the day. This works. It is so good. And it comes in
βtwo flavors. You have the classic cola or the cherry vanilla right now. I have the cherry vanilla inβ
my hand and it is delicious. But you can't go wrong with the classic cola original cola as well. It has the great Pepsi taste, but now with even more to love. No artificial sweeteners, only five grams of sugar and 30 calories and three grams of pre biotic fiber. And this is the Pepsi pre biotic cola. Don't miss out. It's available today. You could try it anytime. You do not want to miss out on how delicious this is. My favorite. The cherry vanilla. But you can't go wrong with the original
as well. So let's take another sip. Cheers everybody. Get your Pepsi.
All right. Let's get into the weekly watch report where we talk about the things we watch this week.
Weekly watch report on Monday. Weekly watch report on Monday. Weekly watch report on Monday. I would have loved to have hit that in some sort of Harry Styles tune. But I just knew that I couldn't do it. You know what I mean? Yeah. I was going to make my attempt. Are you watching yet? Yeah. Are you watching it? We weekly watch report you watching yet. Maybe a stretch. Maybe now that's all right. Starting off with, I finished what I like about you. That was just a real watch. I'm just getting that out of the way. Season four.
I'm going to miss watching this at night. Yeah. It was a nice, nostalgic rewatch. And I will give it like end sort of abruptly. It does. It seems like it got canceled and they definitely could have
done more. Yeah. Season four had a lot less episodes of the rest of the season. This is kind of bullshit.
βYeah. I remember that from watching it and being like when it ended and I was like that's it.β
Yeah. Something must have happened. Yeah. Obviously. So we'll give that to be plus. It's just a nice nostalgic show to watch. Vladimir on Netflix. Anybody watch? I know. No. Yeah. What all? I read the book. Okay. It's a funky book. Hold on. Nothing happens in this show. Really. Yeah. Besides all the adults just being really horny and not being able to keep it in their pants. Correct. And it was a fine. We watched it in one sitting on Sunday. Like eight episodes, 30 minutes each. We were just
bed rotting and watch the show fully. I'll give it a see. Yeah. Plus. Yeah. Fine. I'll go to see plus because I did watch it in one sitting. It was completely I would say it was completely fine. Yeah. The really was nothing. I like like to the book but then I didn't like the book and then I liked like I don't know the book. I'm going to go back and look to see what I rated the book. It's just like nothing really happens. Yeah. Besides all of them being like horny the entire time. Because why I was surprised
they even made it to show. Because in my mind I was like yeah. And like I don't want to spoil anything if someone were to watch it. But like you're kind of just waiting for this one thing to happen and then it happens at the end and then that's it. Kind of. Yeah. That's really. So it was me. I'll give it a see plus. Sather and charm. I will give a see minus this episode. It took a dip this episode for me. I don't know. I kind of was just like over it. Because of what? I don't know. Just like
I got tired of I got tired of the storyline. It's it's over now. Yeah. Because it's the finale is this week. Yeah. So that's super fair. I mean it's just like I'm going to see. Yeah. I get where they they were all out that kind of had to wrap up the this Mexico trip. That's wet house. I don't I looked like they were really sweaty and just don't like to be that close. Like I'm fine experience something like that. Like I get the idea of it really sweat short. But when you're that close
to people and everyone sweating. Yeah. I don't know how to do it. I don't know how I feel about that.
βYeah. But Craig had some pretty unreal lines in. Oh my god. And that's what I got to say. I saidβ
do you guys I said oh my god. When he was eating lunch with Whitney and he said I mean I'm perfectly imperfect. Oh my god. And you know anytime I hear I'm perfectly imperfect it just goes to the camp rocks on like in that camp rocks on immediately starts playing in my head perfectly imperfect. But I wouldn't. And I'm surprised Craig didn't break out into that side of me. I think it's because all of them kind of annoy me. Yeah. So I'm like all right we can wrap this one up. Yeah it's just and I'm curious
to see how it goes that they're union to be honest because I feel like Charlie was really telling Craig like one thing and maybe talking it's Craig had a different idea when they weren't filming
Or whatever and then when the cameras are on because in all the interviews Ch...
see that into it. But Craig seems so worried about potentially ruining this potential relationship that there had to have been more to it. But after his blow-up she was like fuck this I don't I don't see anything romantic so we'll see it all play out on the reunion. Yeah they they did reveal their their cast photo for the reunion. Yeah sure they'll be interesting. Some are house
βI have to say I'm really enjoying the newbies. I think Bailey is really funny and cute and bringsβ
like fresh air to the show and her certainly likes her mind. She does and like she's cracking me up with the flirting. Yeah and all of that. The flirting thing was funny. The preview of her bring it up been wanting to fuck Amanda at the dinner table though. That was bold. Yeah it is bold. But like we need someone to come in and do that and shake things up. Yeah and so I appreciate that. I've been enjoying the season. I'm interested now where things are going to go with West and Sierra because
we see a little preview to like West and Missing Sierra. We get the Jesse and Sierra stuff unfolding. Yeah Jesse Sierra kind of broke my heart that's the same. Same. Just like her talking about her feelings and her saying like I just feel like everyone wants to like experience me. It broke my heart was that her say that and how she feels that people view her because she is
βabsolutely stunning but there is so much more to her as well. So I thought this was a good episode.β
I'll give it a be. Yeah I'm always enjoying summer house. That's got to be so frustrating for
her and it really does break my heart as well because she is just so gorgeous and so cool and all the things and guys are probably really weird to her and make her feel a certain way and you know it's like being objectified in a way that worries like oh my my my friend that I thought we were really close. He's saying he wants to make out with me as a joke. It's like oh why so you could just say that you got to make out like me with me because you know talk about everyone that says I'm talking
about being she's being so hard and all these things and yeah Jesse didn't really like I feel like he didn't even know what to say you know he's like yeah you know like he just handled that for like know how to explain himself. He handled the whole thing kind of poorly in a way. It's like like Sierra said it's like why even ask West how you feel about it without talking to me like you right it's yeah kind of you even know she was interested yeah yeah I'll give summer house to be
survivor third episode this week I've watched the first two episodes I'll give survivor I'd be plus right now super into this season the second episode hooked me even more than the first I won't spoil anything for anybody who has not is not watching it or has not caught up because there's time to catch up people because we're only two episodes in but this is gonna be a good one there was a great ending to this episode a little sneaking around a little planting of fake
idols fake clues all of that good stuff and I am rooting for Christian but he's such a big personality that I could see him being a huge threat that people will be after and I'm rooting for
Surrey as always and I like her alliance with Ozzy so we'll see we'll see what happens but this season is
gonna be great season 50 ladies and gentlemen buckle up um house of villains is back on peacock the thing that house of villains does jomekale's a host is that they like he almost leans into it too much of it being like a making fun of itself like they make fun of the show but it's like constant yeah and I'm like all right so are we supposed to be taking this show seriously or obviously to reality don't take it seriously but you know what I mean watch the first episode I will
continue watching I'll give it a be I am intrigued there it's an interesting cast and caught my attention as something I'll just throw on to catch up with Ted season two is out watch season one yeah funny oh yeah very funny um very enjoyable I've only watched the first two episodes actually so still got to catch up but it's it's funny I'll give it a be plus enjoyable quick episodes it's a cheat code you have in the bear make facial expressions or do dirty things because

Pronounced right but he was from Victoria stuff Cameron we know her from Disn...
this show's good this this show I am interested in I'm only I'm only three episodes in I will give it a be plus for her now because I am pretty intrigued at what these two are hiding
βbecause there's some secret that's going on on clearly both of them are hiding something yeahβ
and I've heard that there's a lot of twists and turns and and people have said how good and
crazy it gets so I'm only on third episode here I watched the first episode and like didn't love it
like really go back to it oh I don't know I just like yeah I maybe I'll give it a try we got a couple of long flights coming yeah I'll let you know but I was just in the TV watching so yesterday and I saw a lot of people like girls are messaging me about this show too saying like I would love it and I watched the first episode like last week like when they when it came out I'd seen it and I like to really love the first one so I was like I don't know if I want to even keep
what like it just kind of seems sort of ridiculous oh okay well I'm going to continue watching it yeah because I'm three episodes and yeah and at this point now because now I know it happens I gotta know what these two are hiding yeah and the whole thing and that is everything I wrote down that I watched um Southern charm I'll give a be-minus summer house I'll give a be plus that I was a good episode anything else that you would said that I had also watched no
Chicago crossover event oh shit it happened it happened it was Wednesday night and I was electing for those three hours healing was back Jay was back you bring it back some familiar faces that we miss seeing good crossover good plot very just scary like legit pretty scary because it was the premise was like a plane was flying into Chicago airport and they lost communication with the plane but it seemed like it was operating still properly it was
like coming in for the landing and everything and the plane lands and they go on to the plane and everybody's dead and there was like a some sort of toxin that was released oh my god and the air on the plane and they're like and they're like like greeting from the eyes like it was like ah like it was kind of freaky um and of course fire PD Madder upon together how why this happened who did it what's what's what's the cause and I just love seeing
helium Jay back that made me so happy it was really I mean as an A I was locked in I've well done well well done dick you did it Mr. Wolf good one tournament of champions food network it's back it's back yes which I absolutely love it's just the best food network show to put on
βand enjoy Joe and I love it it's so good the first two episodes are out which honestly likeβ
be plus it's so good I love it good twists this year all the one seeds are all the one seeds are
people that have never competed on tournament champions before but they're like culinary legends
so they're big their big names and it's a surprise they keep their identity hidden until right before the right before the match and a lot of them have been judges but they've never actually competed on the show which really really interesting to watch and I you know it's just one of those fun ones that you throw on that you really enjoy paradise caught up man I I I love this show I think it's fantastic um I thought each episode was like different and interesting and you know you
oh it always it'll tie all together at some point but you're getting sort of all these individual stories I forgot how fucked up Jane was I kind of forgot about that and then she pulled that move with the press and I was like what the fuck is this girl's deal like what is she what is her endgame I do not know it is crazy how the like I kind of forgot about the finale I forgot about the finale I had to go rewatch what was the thing that she wanted that was like we yeah the way
βlike yeah and I was like is she good and then that happened and then the other secret serviceβ
member I'm like what is her endgame here I don't because the first it seemed like oh she was on
one side and then it was like oh she did that but to potentially protect Xavier but now this is
A protecting Xavier I don't know I'm like I don't get what side she's on I gu...
I do like Shanleywood Lee's addition she was really really good now episode four
which is the most recent one holy like I needed a trigger warning for the amount I was sobbing like a baby it just was brutally sad just like next I mean it was it was a beautiful episode and it was
βso interesting and well done and honestly like even brings up a bigger conversation of modernβ
menacing and science and childbirth and all these things that we have now and that these they had in the bubble but didn't have outside the bubble and it was a heart wrenching episode I saw maybe one person post about how sad it was and I was like oh okay like what you know how sad gonna be it's just from the way that the show's been knocked me off I couldn't believe I was like think I was I think I watched on Friday night when I was just I was home and I was like think God
no one else is I don't have any plans everyone my whole night but I'm really it's I'm very intrigued
to see how this all plays out now and there's always no it's like always one thing out of the next
you know he Xavier gets to the next point and it's like oh here's another hot like he's another obstacle's like oh he finally gets to a land and the guy's like she's like oh my god damn it's like where is she oh when it went and also when he was like he kind of at first when it seemed like she had like moved on from him and they like we're together I was like no fucking one yeah yeah yeah paradise also has really good music all love story like we're just the like the paradise jingle
make fun of this so much oh I love I know but like that they'll you know no but they'll have like famous songs but some by like random people oh yes well that I'm not even talking about that I'm talking about like the they're like theme song you know it's like that is different and paradise has its own
βas well that's honestly you know it's not too far off from the love story one to be honest but it'sβ
it's good and God it just killed me but paradise is like an A-minus really I really really like paradise I think it is I actually watched it I really wish it was been just been just from the last season again yesterday so I was like I got to watch that again so fair I'm so intrigued to see how Tom is stories character it gets all because I'm also like a Xavier gonna have psychic powers it seems like that it seems that way it seems like he's starting to be able to look into the future yeah like
what's I don't know what's happening but they're Jeff and I were talking about it too because he was like the show is gonna go super natural like for sure I was like yeah I could definitely see that happening um speaking of love story the wedding episode was out this this week is well well yeah yeah yeah yeah you know I this one was better than the last better there was less of yeah less dialogue like less speaking for him um I'm Calvin Klein was a star at this episode
oh yeah like really like that and I don't the discourse around this episode around the show has gotten to be so crazy because you have you have Darrell Hannah coming out and and saying you know they betrayed me in this way and it's not me and none of this ever's true and it's it's I saw a girl on TikTok talking about this it's like reading comprehension watching comprehension that in front of us we are watching a show that says at the beginning much of this is fictionalized
and people watch a show and they still see the character and they believe every single
second and everything every word said and they think that every single thing that Darrell Hannah
did in this show she did in real life yeah and so she had to come out and be like I didn't do that like I didn't show up to the wake or do they're like it's just things that I didn't do and it's all for a show and people watch it and think that it's real every detail is real and yeah there's like certain things you only watch the wedding yes she was allegedly hours late because there was an issue with the dress which is you know you watch it happen but the little details on the
conversation and like the moms were herseled in her speech that's we that's made up you know so
βit's you kind of you have to watch it with that mindset and people really don't which is soβ
crazy then they attack the real person so I thought I felt bad that she had to like put out a statement to be like I didn't do all these all these things but this episode of course you have these really intense moments of like Dana Gordon calling Dave Cat at the rehearsal dinner of like you better fucking get like watch her and all these things you're like I don't know you know
They made it as intense as possible for the show right because we don't have ...
what happened it's crazy I mean the wedding itself stunning yeah so so beautiful
gorgeous yeah absolutely gorgeous found myself googling that island and you know having to do it all by candle light you know all that they just was it was gorgeous and she did look stunning and that was that but I'll and maybe one too many like ocean plane for shadowing moments in this episode as well like when they were sitting on the beach and they were like isn't it so crazy like this ocean is the same ocean is in hiatus and it's so vast and so huge I'm like yeah they were really
playing a lot of really really planting the seed for what's to come and even like her mom with you know protect her and all these things and you're like oh right certainly leading towards what
βhappened I think not is next week the next last one there's two more was this episode seven or eightβ
that was that was six oh the next one seven oh there's a bunch more I think there's nine total can you look at how many total there nine from when I looked last nine nine um yes and love as vinyl give a be as well the final um wedding episode that's it I mean watch Harry Styles but I feel like we you know you talk about that we he's kind of a special the whole day plus yeah yeah and then when I was watching the Harry Styles thing I still was
like it was very well done obviously but I still was like it doesn't like we've been to one
night only it doesn't like you'll never be able to capture no you really can't do it in real life
because it's just you don't feel like you're there no you just it's it really is like really

I just feel like I don't even know what's going on but I'm not giving it my all although I will just put it here to say that like kid harring tune had a great performance like
he's an incredible actor and I was happy with like what his character did in this final episode
and I thought they like wrapped it up very well although it's not over I don't think or is it over I don't even know if they're coming back than other season yeah but I thought it was just a really good finale either way I'll give it a be and I started that show I watched the first two episodes that are out DTF St. Louis yeah what a one-time statement um it's it's good it's weird but it's good it's like a murder mystery yeah and Jason Bateman like he's a good actor but
I do it's just funny I like he's kind of like the same character and everything like the way that yeah his cadence yeah but I like it so far I'll give it a be plus like I'm pretty locked in paradise I'll give it a be plus yeah like I just I'm excited to get back to the bubble I did that episode bring a tear to your eye at all or no oh man oh god it was brutal yeah no it didn't but you can I mean I can't see why it would yeah I mean James Marvel's day like
Shane like I don't know if it's a spoiler I guess it is but like it's like she was in the show so for such little time that I wasn't like to attach to her being like oh now she's gone like no no it's just
The way it has it's the way it has and now I wasn't like I was so tired I jus...
just gonna and I just had no idea like I thought she was gonna be in it way more yeah I'm just like
damn now Xavier like he's not even more responsible yeah the responsible is her partner yeah he's got another kid I know and whenever they cut back to like those like sweet moments with James
βMars and unlike them you know he did make a good present I was like that's what I and then when Iβ
watched episode 7 I'm like damn I need more James Mars and yeah and it's just you know he got he got got early he got got early yeah so that's to be plus the beauty you haven't caught up okay well that was I watched episode 8 so the last two episodes came out which were the finale oh okay which when I watched that didn't know it was not I thought there was another one the last one I watched was when he his kids they changed his kids oh yeah yeah he's like his weird kids
yeah that's like a couple episodes um really like it's good it's definitely like it's over you watched a whole thing yeah it's over although I don't know if they were new but like they really like it's a cliffhanger that they leave you like a shock like giant cliffhanger there was one thing in this last episode that was so disgusting and like it's there's been some difficulties but this was like this one was one of those ones where like I'm like in bed
thinking about it yeah I like trying to get it out of my head or race it and like it makes it even the opening intro I don't like oh I skip it there's no but there's no skip button there's for me oh there is for some reason there isn't for me and I have to like manually fast sword which crime you wherever I have to manually fast forward but it would the in your already see I'm like I'm like that like it's a bad like I don't think it's a spoiler but like this
kid like gets pure like all all the kids are gonna take it asian coaches as he's game to do a second season but it is not officially renewed Ryan Murphy we might be too busy with these love
βstories clearly bringing in more views yeah but I'll give it a be minus like I think I liked itβ
at the beginning more and now it's kind of taken like just a wild like but I should have seen it coming it's so gross but yeah be minus I started the first few episodes of that young Sherlock show hmm hard it's good huge guy Richie fans so like I was excited about that here a fund yeah he's good and even like Colin Firth is in it which I didn't know so let me tell you
I always throw Colin Firth in some sort of like British production especially maybe it's Sherlock
Holmes yeah he's gonna be in that yeah but now this a big show for hero yeah it is yeah happy for him yeah he's good and it's just classic guy Richie like style Joe sent me two video clips of a GQ article that a GQ interview that hero did were one he's talking about his love for wasam which you know Joe went to one wasam game and he's that that's his Premier League team
βand then the next one was like that he loves playing chess and Joe is like I fucking love thisβ
guy it is cool though to see like the young you know like I said on Tom Prime I feel like I've never seen or heard I don't know if they've done like a Sherlock when he was younger I don't think it's a kid but it's cool to see like the origin obviously they're just like making it up like
yeah and the pit oh fuck I watched the pit yeah that that's always forget the pit is in
a territory now for me like it's just it is it's so good how do I and every we go like I watch a 2a also like for some reason I forgot how many episodes there were last season so they got shit it's like this was like nine or something like it's gonna be like one or two more there's 15 so we got we got a lot more now there is they're very giving in the sense because it's like a shift yeah yeah but really good I don't like it's spoiler either to say that
Robbie is like kind of hinting and he's gonna kill himself now like that like he's basically like that's kind of what he's hinting at like when he goes on sabbatical he's not coming back oh well I feel like it's not really like necessarily what he's saying I felt like it was when the other hot doctor what's his name that was name you know I'm talking not land not not not another one yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah he's a sexy man when he you see there was hidden court side
together at the like when he was like you know if you like if you need me call me yeah he's like kind of like it's a lot of like self-lifting times too much for you like if it's too much like call me that's when I kind of was like when he sat the younger doctor down two and it was like you want to live my house and if I don't come back it's yours like he's just kind of like right right right yep yep yep but very good show it's so good yeah that's an A JFK
I like that I keep calling it shit it's a C minus for me but I will continue to watch it every time
Did you be great it no I'll give it a b this episode was a b minus for me
yeah um I just can't get past it and then like I don't know it's hard to not let everyone like
βit was actually like related to or being portrayed or family members yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahβ
thanks to be like well it is but it is just a fiction yeah it's just whatever you just have to not watch it and be like wow I can't believe Carolyn's mom said that to him is like well I just can't stop you I just cannot see JFK dream you're being like this whiny like I just don't buy it that's fine you know it's a buy it seems like a whiny it's a fictionalized version of him like yeah I don't know um so yeah to see minus I watched the four part dinosaurs
oh I want to watch this okay I had a I made a note about this like when I saw the trailer weeks ago being like oh my god I want to watch this but I actually think I'll stop my eyes out because it's like spoiler we know what happens like as you watch a dinosaur show they make you fall in love with let me tell you I'm not seeing the T-Rex gas for gas for air wow look at the meteor hit no so I can't watch I can't watch I can't watch it sorry actually it's really cool
I will sign my eyes out part of me is like I mean not not part of me like all of me is like how do they like how much of this is just like I mean obviously they're creating storylines
βand it's like Morgan Freeman like narrating so you need to likeβ
create fictional storylines like create these fictional storylines just for them to all be blown up and die but it is like the honestly the craziest part of watching is like because they have like it starts like 250 million years ago and then it'll like fast forward to be like um now we're now we're like it's crazy when you think about I don't even know if I knew like how long the dinosaurs fucking ruled the world yeah it was like imagine they were still here 150 to 200 million
years ago I looked up how long do you think humans have been on the first human how long do you think
we've been around and the dinosaurs were blown up 66 million years ago just uh the first man was
what I've seen him he's in Italy what the the the um yeah like the the first remnants of the man is in bolzana yes yes I know you're talking about they've been prompt up yeah you can see uh but I don't know I mean I could throw out a really stupid number 10 thousand BC well let's say how many years ago that's easier because I don't know how like the oh I don't know how you're that that makes it way hard that's not yeah yeah
no you're just 300 thousand years ago is what they say so that's like nothing compared to way more than I say yeah but like that that's like still like 66 million years before like the dinosaur's not it's hard to process that but it is cool I mean it's very cool I mean
like I don't know that the amazing stuff oh see is in bolzano he's oh see the iceman he's a
5,000 300 year old natural mummy discovered in the Alps and 991 stating back to around 3300 BC he's remarkably preserved but even that what it had been obviously the oldest um I don't know how they do it and obviously they take a lot of liberties I'm sure you know just really makes me think about the planet like a way too much and I just read a project tell Mary and that's also about like earth if earth was to like blow up yeah and you know you just kind
of get to the point where you're like it's probably bound to happen it's just crazy that like the the settings that they're into like because it's like snowing a lot and you're like I didn't really think about the dinosaurs like walking around in the snow right and then they like
finally get to this point where like the dinosaurs are really in the world everything's going well
and then it's just the meteor gone crazy yeah but very well inside like an obviously Morgan Freeman
βjust that's all the other stuff yeah yeah yeah I think I was just cropped like they just likeβ
they go just die you know what you know it's also crazy I was thinking about it's like alligators and like birds and like they've been around this whole time like they were around with the dinosaurs it's crazy I'll get that to be plus like just kind of crazy I gotta get my I know my dad'll be all over yeah I love that yeah I watch the movie deadman's wire it's a new movie it's with what's just faced from straight well first of all it's Bill Skars guard one of the
Skars guard so yeah and then it's the one that does it it's Dante Montgomery the guy from strangers things but very good movie true story I'd highly recommend it just like crazy story I've got a B+ although you know it's on the edge of amars and then I watch rooster the Steve Krayal show like I want to watch that too it's the same guy who created Ted Lasson shrinking so I kind of knew what I was getting into you. Is it Bill Lawrence if that's yeah that's that's a guy I don't know I'm not
not loving it so far oh I'm gonna see plus like I think you the way speaking of shrinking I give
This last week's episode of B+ I watched it too yeah but it's very much in th...
Steve Krayal is just like playing Steve Krayal yeah but yeah so that's a C+ and that's all yeah
I want to watch that one too all right that is everything we watch there's a lot that I want to catch up on so yeah we got some more travel this week so we'll we'll be watching stuff on the plate and have more for next Monday but that is everything we watched picture this it's Monday morning you open up your laptop and outlook hits you with 87 unred e-mails your calendar now looks like a game of Tetris your boss wants to report

life together try Microsoft Copilot Copilot because sometimes the smartest move is letting AI do the work learn more at Microsoft.com/m365 Copilot all right everyone we are joined by two very special guests they are Olympians they are figure skating analysis they are you know faithfuls that we know and love and they are best friends everybody welcome Taralopinsky and Johnny we're thank you so much for joining us absolutely our pleasure thanks for having us we're
we're so excited for so many reasons right because we love traders with the same time we're just coming off an Olympics a winter Olympics and we get so into it it's the the figure skating especially for the winter Olympics it's just I let you end up obsessing over every every time it comes background so it's so fun seeing you guys be a part of it but that's why we were joking is like when you guys were coming on traders and you're like yeah you know we're figure skating
βas we know each other and everyone's like oh sure I'm like oh my god nobody is nobody knowsβ
and no one really we got really lucky put it together until you guys had your big review we can't take it anymore there's one person who has no excuse that's Eric Nam so we filmed with him for the Olympics in 2018 he was teaching us all that kpop so he should have alerted people he knew you were very much working together he thought he knew your handwriting by right what was great about it is they knew that we knew each other we were both
figure skatingers but I think our stories going in we just really nailed it we did it kind of seamlessly where we were just we're like oh we love on different coast like I won the Olympics when
I was 15 he just started skating when he was 12 yeah we just like we never really knew you
sold it in a way that was like you guys are both in the business but didn't really yeah we would be like it's kind of like the house was being like yeah she's also another house but I've never really met her yeah you know they would ask and we'd be like yeah sometimes we work together like that was our one move it's our one strategy preparing for the show because we got the offer on the same call we couldn't come up with a proper like theory or strategy what
βare we going to do but the only thing we control was our relationship with one another and we thoughtβ
it would be best definitely if we kept it to ourselves we could be a little husk for the people that wouldn't know right and we really stayed apart for I mean a good chunk of the show I mean
and comfortable he first came to like see me outside at the castle I was like mad at you because
I went for a hug because I hug everyone I'm a hugger and I was like oh no this is going again start playing I was like oh hi yeah yeah I think everybody wants to know what would have happened if one of you were a trader and one was not because that's what we were dying to see happen it's so easy we wouldn't know each other if one of us was up in the that's probably why they didn't do it because either one of us we would have protected one another till the very end so
one of us could win so either a faithful or a trader it's all about playing the game and they want to put together the best game show so I think they definitely would have been an visit a disadvantage if one of us had been a trader because we pretty much even as two faithfuls were playing our own game yeah and it would have been a mess for them if one of the traders if one of us was a trader and was protecting the other the whole time yeah and we would have I
would have known yeah I feel like even if you didn't tell each other right you just would have been able to tell 100% yeah that would have been so interesting but instead you guys were both faithfuls until the end and once you guys reveals that you were best friends everyone was on to you oh my god what if they're trying to throw us off the cent and you know you guys were getting there at the end you know we got there you got there and you were right there you sniffed them out
and then more a captor alliance we got close though I mean I feel like we we won because we stayed
Together till the very end and that's really what we wanted and I think as fa...
goes we lasted longer than any like a very extreme duo like we literally we lasted longer than
βthe other duo had and we're really proud of that and I think going into it our dream was to standβ
at the final flame at hold hands raise them like in the hunger games but for the way we played and how kind of out of fish out of water we were I'm so proud with how we did because we made it as far as we possibly could have but we were like two episodes late yeah right that is so true and I think you know during that that roundtable with Natalie where she was like I need you to to speak up for me and and be on my side and it seemed like you just couldn't quite
maybe get or you didn't want to throw out a name well they're definitely two main things yeah I mean I think what I mean it's an hour show right so you only see so much and I think it was it was
great TV for you know the drama of it all but there's so much that's happening you know during
the day so for me what wasn't shown is I thought it was Robin Mora and I thought it was like a body and Clyde thing and I was telling Natalie that's and I'm like it's the two of them obviously I was wrong and Mora but I was very clear and Johnny was very clear that we have to have the numbers
βand I was saying we shouldn't go for Rob I think there was a few lines of me saying thatβ
we shouldn't go for Rob tonight what I was wanting to do is go for Mora that night but the thing is is I went Natalie before the roundtable that you know again you can't show all of this but we had realized there we didn't have the numbers Natalie and I went to Mora and Mora was like no and then went to Rob and then Johnny was talking to Eric and he's like oh boy Tara there is and you know there's that alliance of Mark Eric Mora Rob going for Natalie with the double dagger
so then I went to Mark and I was like Mark will you commit and he's like no I can't commit let's just you know like you know because it's hard how do you know and who knows maybe at the table he would have been like okay well now all I'll go down the Rob Avenue but you know Rob had a lot of people fooled so it was hard for people to commit but I went to Natalie before and I was like we can't do this like it's three against five and I'm like we're like we'll just like see how it
goes at the table but then it's hard like the heat came on Natalie very quickly from that side
βand if you if you stand out you get stuck so I think in addition to the gameplay of Natalieβ
and Tara trying to figure out I was in the same car and I was listening to the whole conversation but
as the final gamer I never truly trusted Natalie and also she she curses a lot and for me
someone who curses a lot is hiding something or trying to cover something up or be bigger or something like I don't trust a person that curses a lot so even though we did find out she was a faithful obviously even at that final round table I didn't feel horrible putting her name down until after the fact and I was just a peaceful guy well yeah I think she just it the way that it unfolded is she got a lot of heat and then it would smart gameplay on her to be like
Tara you told me about Rob today so I actually was surprised because I was like oh I went to you before the round table like I'm not going to vote for you let's figure out if it's Eric or more or if it swings to Rob so I think it was just an unfortunate turn of events for the faithfuls that that happened and the double dagger was that night and then I felt so bad because you know she was you know upset an emotional and you make these relationships but at that point I knew she was
voting for Johnny or an eye and I could have jumped in and been trying to save her but then that would have ruined Johnny and I's gameplay at that point as you can probably tell we are completely unaffected by our we can barely even talk about her can't barely remember it so the show's so what you're doing I mean I mean like speaking of building relationships you know you're in there for what it is two weeks or however long you get your phones taken away you're you know put up
somewhere and you're just focused on this game 24/7 so you can see how much it really affects you Johnny you with canvas you know you can tell how disoriented you were after finding out she was a trader because you were like wow I really did put my trust in her but now I'm figuring out that she was protecting me yeah did everything sort of change for you in that moment during the game I think the fact that I'd put so much faith and Tara and I both had put so much faith in someone
that was a trader is very on brand for us I mean we we trust before we distrust and I think that is just who we are at our core deep down inside and as you mentioned the game becomes very real and sitting at home I mean I binge watched all the seasons to get ready and I'm a huge fan now and when I originally watched I was like how can they be crying they just like met two days ago but you go so native and you are so deep in the game and for people who do wear their hearts
On their sleeves very proudly like us it's it's a really emotional game and w...
that she was a trader I was just bamboozled and then you know the next day and that day a
βlittle bit too but the next day is when the castle turned on me and it was so lonely and likeβ
I'm a very singular person aside from when I'm with Tara I love just being alone I love closing my
door I love being quiet and it was the first time that I really didn't relish being alone because
nobody would talk to me they were all afraid to be seen with me because I was the one that was getting voted out and they didn't want there to be any connection there and it was just it's a horrible feeling so kind of after Candace and then the episode when everyone was coming for me I was like you know what I'm terrible this game I'm just gonna stop playing and get a wear my outfits just I'm gonna be alone yeah that was the hardest part is the it is so emotional when you're in the
castle because you're so isolated for so long and then these are becoming like these people are becoming your friends and your relationships that you're there for weeks so I think that was a hardest thing for me to separate you know the heart from the mind and then also we were like you said playing our own game so even with Candace we were both besties with Candace but that day
Johnny's name was being thrown around and that's you know I voted for her but never thought she was a
trader but did it because I needed to make sure they weren't going after Johnny so there was or even the Natalie thing when that sort of was like a surprise at the table I was like but I've got to protect you yeah and that was really hard for me to separate how to do that to someone
βeven though it's just a game right and I think that's what flies under the radar especiallyβ
is the emotions being heightened so much because as a viewer right you're like oh it's just a game it's just a game but even Rob he's having to lie to everybody all the time and you could tell by the end he was kind of tired that kind of wore on him as well where he's like I'm kind of tired of lying to everybody all the time and then I saw you guys post a video where you were you know when you were on the
plane you were like you know we're still doing symbols to each other because we still like we still
get weird at that point especially having cameras following you all the time as well well you don't that's the craziest thing you don't you don't see the cameras the cameras are just so hidden that that is also what just immerses you in this world and you forget that this is just a game but yeah afterwards at the airport we we changed our flights to fly together because we were like we'd just traumatized the problem but there was there's like I had the thought that the
only people that come off of the traders and say oh it's just a game are the people that lose early or the ones that win every one in that in between area you do start to get really seriously I mean call mark ballas he's taken up the most seriously of anyone even the aftermath then we still have like a faithfuls chat that everyone's in on and it's it's very sweet that you have the sense of community but it is a hard show to play especially for I mean I'm super
emotional tea often is my rock and keeps us going forward but I would just crumble and it was a
βgreat test and I think that it showed how strong our bond is and how brave we can be in theβ
face of adversity and how much that we do I think Natalie said it actually like that it was like playing with two kids the only one to play with each other yeah I was like yeah did you feel like you almost had to you know when you when you did reveal to everyone that you are as close as you are did did you feel like they maybe didn't fully believe you because there's you know and we talked to mark was in the studio a couple weeks that we talked about it because mark was like in the
moment you know I dance to partners all the time and like we worked together and all these things but I don't know if I have like an undying trust yeah without these people but I and because it kind of felt like you were best friends and everyone was like okay yeah well I think well it definitely changed the vibe so thank goodness somehow we we lasted in the beginning because the moment we did that then we started getting lucky yeah one of them's a trader one of them's recruiting
so I do think that we would have been spotted way earlier I've been kicked out but I don't think that in that moment they truly understood that like no matter he was not having the money to tell everyone you were that close we so that day and the edits when it goes down to an hour and then you know and 18 hour shoot day and you guys get an hour of it to watch it was a horrible day like I just would sit by myself in rooms she would come check on me I would try to avoid everyone I
wasn't into it on the mission even the fashion shots that we do before we go down to breakfast you know his senior yeah yeah I was just I was so defeated and done well because his name was being fine so when we woke up that morning um I like as Colton had left the night your earth left that day and then it was Candace's name that was being thrown around but also Johnny's which what I was freaking out and even this wasn't part of the show but Steven came up to me he's like I'm going to
test you like this is gonna like I know you know Johnny his name's being thrown around we're going
After him tonight if you like say something we'll know and I was like definit...
got ran to the kitchen and we're like in the refrigerator and I'm like Johnny I cannot tell you anything right now so you just have to follow my lead and we're gonna vote like because we had to hide movements that we do at the table to like go to signify what we were doing but I knew that Johnny was feeling that energy in the castle that day and it was really hard because people were throwing his name around and when that happens you know you walk into a room and everyone goes silent and
it's like so silly it's a game but it feels awful so when Johnny with Johnny and I finally
had a chat I was like I mean I don't know what I thought they're not we're going to kick two people off of ones but we were just like common Louis style let's go out like blazing and just do it
βtogether and to us I think it was it was bigger than it would have been to the other people becauseβ
it was a secret that we'd been trying to hold onto for the whole game and at that point in the game it was already like a week and a half two weeks been there and um production secret but anyway we'd been there for a while and uh and I was just I honestly and I didn't think the game would affect me the way that it did but I was just so defeated and I felt so bad I don't like anyone to ever feel uncomfortable around me or like they have to scurry when I walk into a room because
they're afraid of association like I've been a young gay kid in high school before I know what it feels like and it just like immediately took me back to that so I was just like I'm done and then Tara was like let's just do it let's just do it let's just do it let's just do it like let them banish you they're going to murder me tonight yeah I feel like if it went in different ways they're Jersey came out yeah it was like a part of me that's like maybe I just like if you were
going I just stand up and we're the first to like hold hands and be like five years
we're both leaving especially after the episode with the jack in the box game where they just kept putting your name in and you would not put her name up but it was just every answer was
βTara and honestly watching it was kind of hard I was like oh my god like they just keep going andβ
you could see your face is turned like they were different for me too because like we know each other so well in that way like I was actually okay through that I kind of knew it but you could see it on your face and you watch back I just know his face and he was like he was really upset by it and I was like I knew after I was like I need to get to have him to talk to him because like this is it starts to feel real it's why I don't really read comments or emails or anything I've got
somebody scan everything for me because I don't like I can take criticism it makes me feel like
I can be better I'm an athlete but like I just I never want someone to dislike me just because
I'd rather you get to know me and then dislike me and it just felt like they were coming at us from all sides and I just felt so defeated and I wanted to protect her but at the same time my whole world that I built in the game was crumbling and it was just it was a bad day you know you bring up being an athlete and I love that in one of your professionals you were like we were not playing school games like this like we were Olympians we were trained on Christmas I didn't
do an Easter egg hunt because I was training like it's true and I think that's something like during the Olympics you marvel at these performances but if you've not been an athlete or like in the realm or the the satellite of an athlete before you don't realize how much it actually takes and how much dedication and I like to bring up being an athlete as much as we can because yes our friendship our hair our clothes all of that gets a lot of attention but at the end of the day
we worked really hard for our position in this world and and I mean it takes a lot to be an Olympian so you can apply everything you learn as an athlete into everything else you did and I think it was like a different take for us too coming on a show like that obviously we've been in an entertainment and we're on live TV together but we're we're analyzing figure skating so it's something very serious so you throw us into the reality world I mean back in the day he had his own reality show
so he had more experience but yeah first yeah it was my first so you know we were very you know different than everyone else there we weren't reality stars we weren't looking for like aligned and our friendship meant so much that it was it was a lot to juggle and also the athlete mindset we just you wanted you well for your team so for like the faithfuls became like team USA and it just really didn't work on us when we were not doing well yeah we felt like we were
disappointing our team this show is sponsored by a better help I feel like when things start to pile up work maybe school just things that just you know they're getting on your mind and it's that time a year where all the tasks just seem to pile up and all of a sudden you have all these things

together we definitely had to talk it through yeah because it was hard for me because I had you know
my my daughter was only 15 months at the time and I had never done reality I never thought I was
going to like go down that path but again doing it with him I was like this is going to be once in a lifetime experience and the show is so fun and can't be that I knew I could take it on
βbut I mean look how can't be in fun it is and I still was the one like crying. It's true becauseβ
it's it's one on one side of the coin you want to do it with someone you know but on the other side it's like oh do I want to do some of I know because you could get to a point where if you're playing the game if something happens or all these things like we've talked about it maybe we were on it's like yeah but what would happen if one of us was a trade and one of us so why you're like it's just yeah so it's I'm sure it was crazy but I feel like
until it got hectic at the end you the two of you did seem like you were having so much fun
even looking back at it now we're like oh my god that was so much fun. It's always the after
yeah everything was pretty or in hindsight. It was Rob being the soul winner a at that point a shock or not a shock for two guys. Not a shock and to be fair he was a great he was masterfall and if anybody should have won that thing alone it it should have been him yeah I mean there wasn't us I was waiting for him because like every mission he kicked ass every time we were in a social situation or doing reality as it's called in the show. He made time to be friendly and
talked to everyone someone could say it's strategy but I also think there's some heart to Rob and
βlike he's he was generally a lovely person for the most part and that's why he was able to do soβ
well but I don't think it's all fake for the game. Yeah no I'm with you 100% and I think that you know when Johnny left obviously that was so awful for me but I also knew that you know we made it till the last episode together so there was only a little bit of time so I actually felt like very focused and competitive in that moment because I was like I've got to come through for Johnny and we've got to win it together even though he's not standing there and I think I was a little
I was so sad the first part of that episode where I really thought will you were still around to that point I thought we won the game because Mora was like all in on the game. All in and she's like we're going to go for Eric he's going to be so surprised like my hands are like I can't even be like yeah and I was like Johnny we just won yeah it's going to be me you and Mora at the end and I really I was so convinced by what she said to me that the first round table when he left
was such a shock yeah by the end game I kind of realized I'm like she's probably I'm going to try again maybe I'll get it but I was like this is now really like 50/50 if it could happen. Hey Rob may have won the whole thing but he did make a promise to her which was a brick-in oh yeah and he made a happy secure and Mora's Birkin has gotten a lot of press but you too locked in here as came in with matching Birkin yeah okay funny story so I'm I've been a collector for
a while and I love Birkin bags and it's like the one thing I understand as far as an investment is concerned if I ever need them they're sitting there but um well we've been talking about an investment it's an investment um I don't sell them though but um but skating is really big in Japan and um I had an Hermes guy in the ginsa shop and I was going into pick one up during the Olympics in Tokyo and Tara went with me and she hadn't really dove into the
RMS pool yet yeah I was like this is to like you have much of a purchase yes overwhelming yeah but um they took us into the room um she was obviously popular in the store as well because skating is so big over there and um she watched the process unfold like revealing it from the white bags so you can you wear gloves the whole thing wow yeah come it out I'm like oh my god it's a wowser and then um she was like well I want one and I want matching one and um my guy he was like
Let me see what I can do so in Japan they get a really limited number of bags...
color so it was the seasonal color it was very special I think it's very sought after now yeah should we go in one last year I was going to say nobody else in the world is not fair you guys yes yeah otherwise after he's my way out actually you can look at the discoloration I know which is him maybe a little tan on them yeah but um yeah so I love a broken bag and this is in the color not but our guy was able to source one there were
like six of this color in in the whole country and he got one for me and he got one for yeah I was so I like yours looks like you use yours you know I really just find just went to the spot no it was so crazy I didn't think I was going to do that but then the fact that we have matching ones which I just think is so funny that you guys can actually write one and the show ends with like this being such a big thing that's like this huge moment
yeah Rob gives thing or yes it's like everyone was like well turn it every who shouldn't everybody be getting a bad when did you guys get them so it's like 2021 when the Olympics went to you you've had oh yeah I mean it's all news now we're working on our second right to do a matching moment it's very hard yes Johnny I leave that to you yeah I'm working on it she handles could use some lessons and hers will go to the spot next to Daniel it's wonderful
I love like bust-in through a door and we're both carrying the same bag it's really cute it's very
βon brand first I love it when you guys walked in I was like are those so I think they are soβ
talking about it all that we have been talking about not so much is so funny but we I loved watching all the Olympic coverage from you guys I feel like we had some major US skating moments this year whether it was surprise and in a good way surprise and a bad way just all over the place now that you know we're a little bit removed what do you guys what are you guys taking away from from these team USA moments I feel like it was just a great moment for skating in general I feel like
the public really engaged with team USA you have a list of Lou and Amber Glenn and Ilia Malin
and Max Nama and all of their incredible stories and unique personalities and it just felt larger
than life to me and then you did you had the ups and downs which is what the Olympics brings so you you watched the heartbreak of Ilia Malin and who was supposed to win gold against you know it there was no there was no odds against him he just it was like in the bag and for something like that to happen was so shocking but then also the the greatest thing about his story for me was the way that he showed up for the Olympic champion that night and walked over there and he was the
example of sportsmanship and just for me just off the ice he's an incredible athlete but I
βthink it showed his character off the ice and then I think a list of Lou for figure skating it justβ
reminds everyone why figure skating so amazing yeah and just her mindset and the wisdom she has at such a young age and the way she's able to bring that to the ice is so refreshing so I really feel like there's this resurgence right now in skating I mean I have a skating school and and the rank is so crowded right now so so many people are bringing their kids to learn to skate and I think that's awesome but the thing about the Olympics that was so special this time is that
we come from I mean the Olympics as a whole are always something that we tune in for and we love
all the Olympics but figure skating is our sport and our sport is judged by strangers so you often have the feeling as a skater that you want to please everyone and you don't want to ruffle feathers and I wasn't that way in my career but there definitely a lot of people around me in my time that we're trying to play by the rules and be the perfect little skater person whatever the
βjudges wanted that's what they were and I think this Olympics for the first time really weβ
had a full anagery of beautiful authentic athletes people that really were themselves and they showed the world that you can win by being yourself and I think that is the most special message that that all the skaters gave to the world this this Olympic Games and Team USA of course in particular between Ilias sportsmanship Amber's heart on her sleeve Alyssa showing the world that you don't have to be exactly what you imagine when you think of a figure skater to win the
gold yeah um chalk and baits being graceful and defeat uh Team USA winning the team event I think that there was just so much beauty and and kind of that the human vulnerability to all the skaters that we got to watch more of them absolutely yeah and especially some of the interviews they've been doing I saw Alyssa was asked recently like what she would say to her younger self and I love that she was like nothing like she was like nothing like she's she's got it like she figured
out and I was like I have never thought about responding that way but I love that answer
Alyssa Lou should also become like a therapist yeah she's she's got it down yeah
She really does I I think I like lost sleep over Madison Evan like I really c...
it and does like you said you do those deep dives into the into judging and how it all turns out
βall these things like when you how hard is it like commentating on these moments where you sort ofβ
of course have your own opinion because it is your coming off judges who also have their opinion on opinion that's their score and you sort of have to honor their opinion but at the same time you're like I don't know we we call about when we really need to but our first duty is to our audience the people that invite us into their living room so that they can enjoy the skating with us so we have a huge responsibility but also a lot of gratitude for being able to share what our
sport is the world but you guys do an amazing job thank you yeah that's our first objective and then
obviously we get to sit in the booth with with our best friend and we enjoy each other's company and I'm sure you guys love working together and sitting and gossiping and talking so we we infuse it with that as well but sometimes the hard moments are really hard for us because we have both been there we know what it feels like to lose by this much we know is what it what it feels like to have a rough performance and not fulfill expectations and that that really does help us
with our job having the experience of it and trying to make it make sense to people without kind of tearing down the skater that you've just seen and like saying well they lost a point here they lost a point here they did this a little bit incorrectly and not pooing on their moment and trying to lift them up because we respect and admire anyone that's brave enough to
βget out there and do this sport because it's so personal yeah and I think that's what make I meanβ
obviously bias but I think that's what makes skating so special and so dramatic in the way you know it's still a little bit of a subjective sport there's an artistic score there's a technical score and now they've built a judging system that's all based on numbers but at the end of the day there's you know still personal preference that can change things and I think like you said it's our sort of duty to know the ins and outs of that and try to explain it to the audience and
make sure each athlete is sort of you know lifted up for their moment too but we definitely we lead with love like that's where we come from as people and that's that's who we were as skaters well we've been there yeah we've been in every one of those situations which is why I think you guys are so great like I said and I think there is such a balance when you're watching a sport like for your skating where you want to be focused on the on the on the skater but at the
same time informed the viewer of what's happening and moves there happening so that you can teach people but also not you know talk over the entire performance and then you lose the music
βthose things you guys have the perfect balance that I think it's really so great it makes me loveβ
watching figure skating and I think this past Olympics was so great for for everyone watching that hopefully they'll continue to watch even when it's not the Olympics that makes it so dangerous I mean that's all we want as we love our sports so yeah we grew up it's our life yeah and we live our life and lives and Olympic cycles really like yeah we have our whole life but we also now not only had our story in the sport but we we've watched Ilia from day one
we have seen these skaters grow up before our eyes and know the sacrifices they make for these moments so all we want to do is commentate in a way that brings viewers in to realize what's so magical about skating and you guys absolutely do that and we yeah so obsessed with it now for our book club we're reading the favorites yes because we just put in the get enough right now and did you record some of the audio book yes I um I played Alice Dean for the audio book
it's amazing that's our book club book yeah we were like we should have done it last
month but we're just extending our well the session we do have the world championships this month yes exactly so really excited thank you guys so much we do have to I know you guys have a have a hard out so we have to wrap up we can but this is so great we're so happy that you guys came into studio to talk to us yeah yeah so thank you thank you thank you and enjoy your your lives yeah all right that wraps up today's episode it's the office thank you so much for watching
