just all when?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Okay, well let me let me recap you.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I thought it was a great name to call this
little segment we're doing podswap.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Does that name bump either of you for any reason?
Speaker 8 (02:31):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Okay, Well, allow my two dirty co hosts to tell
you that they dirty.
Speaker 6 (02:39):

Speaker 2 (02:45):
We've We've just we're calling this, uh two pods in
a cup or something, and we're just that, Yeah, we're
seeing it that If that bothers anyone, I love that one.
Speaker 8 (03:00):
You like that, Okay, Jenna. It's so nice to meet you.
I know, so nice to meet you. Guys. I've heard
so much about you guys from Kevin, and I was
so jealous of your your meetings of the mind.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yes, well, Kevin, the last time I saw you we
were in Vegas, and I was so blinded by my
excitement to gamble.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I barely even remember our conversation.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
Look, nobody endears themselves to me more than somebody who
has a gambling plan and we'll talk strategy.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I thought maybe a gambling problem was coming up.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
We are not there yet. I have not diagnosed anything.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Maybe by the time we're done with this se perhaps.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Perhaps have problems.
Speaker 7 (03:44):
My wife and I have said that Kevin was your
favorite concertgoer friend.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
So you, Sue and I.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Literally took me under your wing. And I felt I
was texting Jenna's like, I am just trying to play cool,
but the kindest, nicest, most positive people I know. You know,
Vegas can be a bit of a dark time. Danielle's version,
what are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
What are you talking about? I have no idea what
you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
I appreciate you because I was. I was without Jenna
and my other half, so I was like, I don't
know what I'm doing. This is fun.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
Like the professional ear blockers for the concert our ears because.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
We're why is Lenny Kravitz making my head bleed?
Speaker 6 (04:28):
These?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
And they're like the perfect kind of Yeah, it was amazing.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
It was really amazing.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
Oas frozen, Kevin lasted longer than I thought he would.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
If I'm honest, who's making it Dirney?
Speaker 8 (04:41):
Now?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I meant and then you took it there, Dan, Well,
well everything you say now I think is with that
in mind.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
So what do you really think of him now that
he's not here?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Let's get into it.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
It's got to be tough being named after one of
the best Celtics of all time?
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Though, did he tell you this that I just I grew.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Up on the East Coast.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Kevin McHale was one of the best Boston Celtics that's
ever played the game, So that must be tough being
Kevin McHale.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
When he shoot and he's quite short.
Speaker 8 (05:13):
Kevin's quite short, so we when we would get picked
up at the airport, often the drivers thought they were
picking up the Kevin and they would be quite disappointed
when little Kevin would show up, like, no, no, I'm
waiting for Kevin McHale.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
He's like, no, this is it's me.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
That's me.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
That's me.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
The camera adds three feet or three apple boxes.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Right there you go. It's a good thing. I'm short too.
Kevin's in the waiting room. He says, Okay, let him in.
He sucks so bad. God, I know.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Makes a whole lot of sense now.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
That you've told me all those stories. I don't want
to be that. How's it going?
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Amateur moves? Sivery care?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Have you heard of five G?
Speaker 6 (06:09):
Well, I'm currently hot spotting my five G Kevin, my
WiFi has just suddenly decided to go out.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
I'm so I'm so technologically advanced by the way that
five G is just slang for five guys.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
For me, that's all that is.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
So you are really made me hungry. Yeah, this is
why we had a great.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Time yest right to apparently share food.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Did you take the dirty again? Daniel? Going dirty? Guys instantly?
Speaker 6 (06:41):
You guys, I told you about my Halloween weekend and confidence.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Well, listen, we figured it would be a great moment
for our podcasts to sit down, get to know one another,
and bring forward some good old fashioned iHeart synergyenergy energy energy.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
So we have this card game here. It is called
talking Point.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
This is the family addition we are going to pick
a few cards out at random and then use them
as ice breakers, just to see where this discussion leads
us and to prove that sharing is carrying in the
high school crossover you never expected. Boy meets Glee. Some rules,
no one word answers. We have to really, we really
(07:30):
have to answer the questions. And if at any point
our producers think we're just answering in cliches or trying
to make ourselves sound better, we're going to hear this.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Synergy er.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
And then we'll have to move on. So honest answers only.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Whoa wow, all right, getting moderated.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Yeah, but there's no points.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
We're not like winning or losing, no learning correct.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I really like this first one. What are you most
proud of? Jenna?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You go first, Oh, well, I am a mom and
so I think I'm most proud of my daughter.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
She's two and a half and she is the joy
of our lives.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
I know it's it sounds cliche, producers.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
To say thought it was like my son, and I.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Was like, maybe that's just.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
You proud of your child. Yes, Can you find something
specific that you like a moment that you were like,
that's my kid?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Oh gosh, she's so young.
Speaker 8 (08:59):
I mean, she's two and a half, but she's she
is going to school, and everybody told me, like, drop
offs can be really hard and it's gonna be Like
at the first month we walked in, I was like,
mommy's gonna go work now and she's gonna be back later.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
And she went bye.
Speaker 8 (09:14):
Mom kissed me on the cheek and walked away, and
I was like, that's my girl.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
There you go. And you like, why did she leave
so easy?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yeah, she loved me exactly. I cried all the way home. Will,
what about you?
Speaker 5 (09:37):
I'm proud that I have no kids.
Speaker 7 (09:40):
I've been proud of that from the beginning, and proud
of that now you know what.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
You know what I'm proud of.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
I am proud, Oh God, to get ready for the
cliche and the synergy. But I am proud that my
two best friends and I thought about an idea for
a show, created a show. I've been working together ever
since and have been doing it, I think, really, really well,
and it has brought us even closer together.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
And I'm super proud of the work that the three
of us have done together.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Wow, that's a beautiful answer, Will, That's wow, and not
as cliche as I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I thought it was, I thought it, But that's very specific.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Yeah, but because I'd easily pick my wife if I
was going to go that way, I'd pick my wife
and my marriage.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
But I'm not. I'm going to pick my friends and
what we've accomplished together.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Okay, Kevin, how about you? What are you most proud
of you?
Speaker 6 (10:26):
Well, Damn, I think I am most proud of I
think I have good taste and friends. I love that way.
I am proud of myself for recognizing good people who
are worth it. I have a lot of the same friends.
My best friends are still my best friends from high school,
(10:50):
and I think that can be hard. You know. We're
surrounded by a lot of people who maybe after other things,
and the glee folk are within that best friend group,
and I feel like we've all worked really hard because
we've wanted to and maintained a really solid, steady, foundational
friendships with one another. So I'm proud of the friends
(11:12):
I have built built along the way.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I love that too.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I actually I was thinking something that you guys pointed
out to me when we had the gathering for podme's
world at my.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
House was just.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
You guys helped me recognize that, like my my house,
and I would say, like my lifestyle in general really
kind of is reflective of me, and like yes, right,
and I just realized, like, oh right, Like I've actually
built like my you know obviously my family, like my relationship,
but my friendship. Like I don't know, I just like
you guys helped me see that, Like, wow, I'm actually
(11:51):
kind of living what I've always dreamed, like in terms
of my life. You know, I have obviously ambitions career
and artistic, but if I actually take a back and
look at my social life, my family and like what.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
I do on a daily basis, It's pretty much exactly
what I've always wanted. And I'm really proud of that.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
I didn't realized that until relatively recently.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah, you don't live a single inauthentic moment like no, no.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
From the time you wake up in the morning till
the time you go to bed at night, your day
is filled with things that are that are truly authentic
to who you are and the desires you have and
the people you have chosen.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
It's a perfectly curated life.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
What about you, Danielle, What are you most proud of? Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Man, it's hard, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I think being a person who has a lot on
their plate, I often say that I'm not a very
good friend because I don't have like a ton of.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Time in my life for friends.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I have a lot of work obligations, I have a
lot of family obligations.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
But one of the things I've.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Noticed is that I do actually considering how little time
I have. I have a lot of people that I
regularly check in on and and talk to and and
people that even if I'm not particularly close to them,
I will think about something they've told me is going
on in their life, and I'll think I should check
in on them about that.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
And I'm pretty.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Good about remembering birthdays, and so I think I would
say I'm proud of my ability to care about a
large amount of people and make them feel that I
care about them.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
You're a great friend. You're You're actually a great friend.
You really are. Both you and are great friends.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
You really are.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
It's too bad. Jenna and Kevin just are good friends.
They're they should not. Well, can we invite them?
Speaker 6 (13:39):
See? And we have.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Question one.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
I've got to gamble with you. I've got to gamble
with you first. You know, we love we love it.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
We did start a group chat with Montel Jordan after
a podcast.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Maybe we could have a group chat with you guys. Trial.
There could be a trial and if you want. I
like that. I like that. It has to be on
WhatsApp though, because I don't have an iPhone, so I
ruined all group. Don't see I'm not a good friend.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
You know you're you went from great friend a good friend.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
You're right with the green text, very international.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
What's happening?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Okay, here's another one. What is something you tried really
hard to like but just couldn't Kevin, that's to you first.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
I hate when I don't like something, Why, especially especially
like food when I don't like a phone?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
What food do you not like?
Speaker 6 (14:41):
I don't like grapefruits?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Did you try really hard?
Speaker 6 (14:44):
I tried really hard. Anchovies thing?
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Anchovy is normal, lots of it is like.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
I was in Spain over the summer, like everyone's eating anchovies,
Like I can be cultured. No, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
How many times did you try anchovies?
Speaker 8 (14:59):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Like fo five times? You know I'm gonna yeah, I
will go for it, But no, that's a common Yeah,
what I've lost the what was the question? Again?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
What is something you tried really hard to you just
couldn't And I guess I'll go give it a valiant thank.
Speaker 6 (15:23):
You so much. I appreciate the support writer, what about you?
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Jazz cannot stand jazz.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Wanted so badly to be that guy who understood it
and liked it. And I mean, I've been to concerts.
I've been to I've listened to all the good stuff.
I have friends who are like really into it, and
I just can't do it.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
And I finally gave up.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
I'm like, you know what, I love blues. I love
like a lot of roots music. I love a lot
of different types of music. I like classical stuff.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Jazz will never like.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Just your brand.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
That's why I tried so hard. Yeah, I tried so hard.
Back of the Jazz Club, just muddling fruit.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I like jazz vocals like I like like jazz classics,
especially female jazz singers. I like a lot of it, yes,
but actual like instrumental only jazz, like you know, you
get into the cold trains.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
And all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I can I can like it as like background, but
like going to a concert and listening to people like
I'm like, Nope, my brain doesn't my brain doesn't go there.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
I'm not interested. I just zone out.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
And then I'm like I feel bad about myself for
not being smart or sophisticated enough.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
But now I'm just like fun, No, I can't. I
heard something super interesting yesterday.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
By the way, you will both learn that I'm the
bearer of absolute useless facts.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
But Ella Fitzgerald.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Her voice was so pitch perfect that the band used
to tune their instruments to her voice.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Wow, I could never be Wow.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Does anybody like jazz in this in this chat?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I like jazz.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I used to jas concerts all the Yeah, yeah, Jenna,
what about you? What's something you tried really hard to like?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
And just I can't do it?
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (17:08):
Well, I moved to from the East Coast to California
in two thousand and nine, and.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
We're exactly on the East coast drop a pin Long Island.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I was wrong island really from Nasalla County. Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 8 (17:25):
I learned a lot about like LA culture and life,
and a lot of people like their social morning hour
is like getting a coffee and taking a hike and
getting in nature.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I like being outside. I like nature, most of it,
I don't. I tried.
Speaker 8 (17:44):
I've hiked, I've hiked with friends, I've hiked alone, I've hiked.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
Speaker 8 (17:55):
And then my husband came along in twenty eighteen, I
moved back to these because then I moved back again.
I was like, well, maybe it's different this time. And
I tried again, and it's just not something I do.
So friends are like, you want to go and hike.
I'm like, I don't hike. So hiking is just one
of those things that I really I thought I could do,
as in like a los angele, and.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I can't do it. I won't do it now.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Yeah, interesting. LA hikes are very particular, though.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
She's empowered me to come out as an anti hiker.
Speaker 8 (18:25):
See see, I'm telling you, it's like a thing. There's
pure pressure, there's.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Social I love hiking, but I don't like LA hikes
because there's not enough trees right and it's always like
frymen or like it's somewhere.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Like straight up a hill and there's it's a social scene.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
So like people are like dressed up in their power
outfits and they're all like I can't stand it either.
I'm not a big fan of hiking in LA, but
I love hiking elsewhere, so I would recommend.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Maybe just giving it a shot in a different context.
But it is a very specific hiking culture.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
I'm not a fan.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Fair enough. Mine is naps. I want to love a nap.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I want to love a nap, but I cannot nap
for twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
I need four hours.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
If you give me four hours and I have an
hour to mindlessly doom scroll on my phone, thirty minutes
to start to fall asleep, an hour and a half
to sleep, and then thirty minutes to wake up from
that nap before I have.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
To deal with anybody, then I can do it.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
That's my everything.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Will to have your time, to have no children, and just,
oh my gosh, the amount of money you must have
with no kids an amount of time.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Well, I nap on a pile of money. It's the best.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
You and I both restless.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
I take a four hour twenties It's is right.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I can't I can't imagine bills. I can't imagine it.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Oh boy, all right, go do I know?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Sorry forgot all about you?
Speaker 7 (20:01):
Will?
Speaker 3 (20:02):
What's your sorry?
Speaker 5 (20:03):
I've tried to love when people ignore me.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
No, I'm what if you tried to love but you
just can't.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
This one is going to hurt writer. I apologize writer. Poetry,
Oh okay, I don't. I don't get it. I I
like epic poetry, like the Odyssey is my favorite story
of all time. I like ba I think that's more
the fantasy nerd in me than it is the I
just don't. I don't care that it's rhyming. I don't
(20:34):
care how I'm supposed to do it. I don't like
it at all.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
I love that answer. One of my other ones was art.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
That was the other.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I was like, not all of it art. I mean
it sounds, but art.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
You mean paintings, or you mean like visual art, special
visual art.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Also anybody who talks about art, or like people who
call things or.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Anything revolving around like art. I just love. But I don't.
But I don't actually feel that way as much anymore.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
But if you asked me two years ago, that's what
I would have said.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
But now I do.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
There's a lot of art I like, and I've actually
started buying some art and I do.

Speaker 5 (21:41):
Like my cousin had that, but he's getting over it.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
What is something frivolous that you don't mind spending money on?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Jenna and I.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
Are the wrong people to ask.
Speaker 8 (22:10):
I just need like an enabler friend like Kevin, to be.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Like, just get it. You need it. You just you
deserve a little treat. I love a little tree. I

Me too.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
You deserve it, You deserve it. That's a good one.
I might This is really bad.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Water bottles, okay, like reusable water bottles, like Stanley.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Dollar fifty dollars, Stanley cubs, like thermoses that.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
This has been an open can of water for the
last month.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
I just don't think i'd have another one, just in
case I run out of the first.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Water bottles is frivolous waters like the least frivolous thing.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
The reusable ideas that you need one? So you has.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
A cabinet fault?
Speaker 8 (23:15):
You really?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Yeah, I do. Do they about your outfits?
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (23:21):
I wish no, but but they're cute. They are They're
like TI die and.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
And it's not like she's like, oh, it's become popular.
I'm going to get it. Jenna has been on the
train for four years on the pulse of the water bottles, hydro.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Flask, simple, modern, Stanley, you name it. I've got to
have this for you. I love this are are it?
Does it work for you? Are you well hydrated? I
drink a lot of water. I think that's partially why.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
Is like I can justify right, like yeah, yeah, Like
sometimes I'll just have two at once.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
That's exactly what the show is named after. That's why
we did this podswall.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I mean it's too two water bottles, one gal. I
knew we were onto something. Yeah. Kevin literally covered his mouth.
He's like, oh God, it happens daily. It's okay, it
happens daily. That's a problem.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
You are married, Well.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
What's something frivolous? You don't mind spending money?
Speaker 7 (24:28):
On. I'm I'm not tight fisted, but I don't like
buy a lot of stuff for somebody that has a
lot of stuff.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
I don't actually buy it.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
And I know you love a f I do, but
I like, I'll spend money on books. Not frivolous, No,
I guess, yeah, you know what, you know what's kind
of frivolous. I just bought my third grill. Oh, you're right,
you just bought a grill for for making smash burgers.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
I have a smoker.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
I my regular Weber grill right next to then the
Blackstone grill.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
So it's frivolous, though, because you make food for people
to consume, which we have to do.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Yeah, it's not frivolous.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
I don't really have anything frivolous anymore. I just back
in the toys. No, we get toys.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
You don't you get them?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
He gets them for free?
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Yeah, so no, I don't really. I don't buy clothes.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
I mean, back in the day, I would say cars,
but even I know one here or.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
There, and now you and Susan have one car.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
I don't even own a car at this point.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
I know when I use my wife, so like I
have the older I'm getting Like, the closer I'm getting
to fifty, the more I'm realizing just the less stuff
I need.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
I guess if I'm going to be frivolous.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
When Sue and I travel, we like to travel, well,
so you know that's where we spend our money. Is like, well,
that's where answer tells we do stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
I would say, when we travel, we tend to travel.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Hot first That's true. That's true. You travel first class
and you don't have to, but you do.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Right, right, So that's what I would pick.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
Okay, like that heaven, Well, mine was going to be travel.
But at the same time, I do like rack up
my miles and like try to use them and all that.
But like I will go all in on travel. So
to say something different, I have. I have a three
(26:19):
options for you. Shoes, well, the shoes and bags I
think are sort of good.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
I love a man bag. Tell me about your bags.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
It's it's a pretty it's a fairly recent development. It's
actually partly Jenna's fault. Jenna has great taste in bags,
and so anytime i'd be around her, she's like a
different bag. Like, they smell so good, they're beautiful, and
I'm like, I'm just not going to look good with
a purse, you know, like it's not gonna fit me.
But I did. I guess, like I don't know. I
(26:53):
hate to say merse because they're purses, but men wear them.
I like your.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Whole fanny pack thing has happened, so now everybody's wearing
the shoulder bags anything.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Crossbody is totally for me.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Yeah, and I'm I'm fully into it. I now have
a full collection. Jenny came over to my house or
like a couple of months ago and I was like,
what is what is this crossbody bag?
Speaker 8 (27:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (27:18):
And then I went into my own version. I went
and got it.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
I love them even like tote bags like I signed
up for like Architectural Digestive an ad send you a
tote And I'm like, Yes, who.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Doesn't have a New Yorker bag, doesn't have a new bag?
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Did you wait in mind for the Trader Joe bag?
Speaker 6 (27:41):
No? I don't do lines.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
We don't done.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
I don't. I don't wait in mine that.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
I love that thither fair enough?
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Do you wait in line or do you wait online?
Speaker 6 (27:54):
I'm not from either wait in line?
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Correct? You wait on line? Here?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Okay, okay, but you said you had options, so handbags,
we really jumped on that one.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
But you also said shoes. What kind of shoes?
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Speakers like Nikes, I and I wear like out of them,
so I go through I don't take care of them.
I get I buy them, and I wear them for
like destroy them and then I just keep kidding it's bad, Yeah,
because sometimes I like how they look, like, oh, these
aren't that comfortable. I won't return them right right them.
(28:25):
I'll wear them like twice and then I'll just donate them.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Yeah, we're we're I'm realizing we're very much the same, Kevin.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Because that was that any of your answer Daniel's shoes.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Oh, I have also many options also, which will.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
Buy more on a flight than I will in the
mind before I get out of bed, I'm like, oh,
how did I already? Yes, I mean it's like seriously,
I'll look over and she'd be like, I just bought
these six things.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
I'm like, we're on the tarmac still.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Before myself reception, before I have to hit airplane.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Maybe we shouldn't be friends because I don't think we
need any encouragement.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
My other option was like furniture, like no, why are
you buying furniture?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
I get that, I do get it. Writer. You also
not a frivolous spender.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
No.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
I mean, yeah, if travel and books eating out counts,
but I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Think that those really do.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
I feel like that's because and when I do travel,
I don't I don't fly, it doesn't spend. I don't
ever hesitate to take a trip. You know, I'll never
be like, oh, I'm not going to take that trip
because it's going to cost it. It's like, no, life
is always worth it, spend it to get out there
and see more of the world. But no, I thought
of one because it's it's obviously right now the season Halloween.
(29:44):
I will spend any amount of money on a costume,
and any amount of money on Halloween decorations.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I never think of, oh yeah, I love it so much.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
I love all of it, and so like, no problem
just being like one hundred and fifty dollars to put
together a costume that's interesting or cool I have.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
I just never and I do it for my son.
I like, we I spent so much money on Halloween
this year, but because.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
It like a giant, beautiful Halloween party, it's so fun
and it's just like one of my favorite things.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
So I will spend any amount of money on that stuff.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
That's a good one.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Yeah, that is good.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Guys, we don't have enough time to go through all
the things. We don't have enough time. Skincare, jewelry, handbags.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Shoes, diamonds.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
You like diamonds, and then you also like diamonds and
diamonds and the diamonds.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
You tell me there's a serum.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Did you tell me there's a serum out there and
it's a new serum and it's going to be good
for me. I have that serum. I'm gonna buy that serum.
Oh I Oh, that gave me an allergic reaction, gave
me I lid dermatitis. It'll take me a while to
figure out which one of them it is because I've
had too many new products on my face. True story,
that just happened last week. Yeah, there's just too many things.
(30:51):
Here's the problem. I love stuff, and I also hate stuff.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
You have stuff.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
I want no stuff. Get the stuff out of my house.
And what I'm realizing is I don't like other people's stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yes, I like my stuff. I want to live alone
with my stuff, and I want everyone to have their
own house. If you want to know what I think
the secret to a great marriages, it's separate homes.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Yo nearby.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
But your stuff stays in your place and I don't
have to see it or deal with it.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
I get to live with all my stuff.
Speaker 6 (31:28):
Yeah, one hundred and all.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
My stuff has its place, and it stays in the place,
and if I remove it, it goes back to its place.
My stuff is never missing or broken, and if it's broken,
I have a backup already waiting.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
That's the dream. Yes, I feel that in my bones. Yeah,
broken like a wife with two small children.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
That's right, that is right, who has no time for herself?
Speaker 3 (31:54):
The dream.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
I came to realize.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
You can't say to Danielle something like send her something
to be like hey, cool shirt. Like you can't do
that because she'll write you back ten seconds later. Ago
I ordered eleven, like wait, what always have a backup.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Sue sent me a jacket from Ireland.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
She was with, well, they were in they were in
Ireland or Scotland, Scotland, and she sent me a jacket
from an influencer we both follow and she was like,
this jacket is so cute and thirty minutes later, I
was like, I got you.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
One idea also arrived.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
By the way, what the heck is taking those jackets
so long?
Speaker 6 (32:32):
Ireland, you can't trust the influencer thing. Yes, my god, Ireland.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Yeah jeez.

I don't know.
Speaker 6 (01:31):

Yeaheah, maybe that's what it is. Wife. This is upside
down Pineapple episode.

Oh my gosh, you are so happy you missed what
just all when?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Okay, well let me let me recap you.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I thought it was a great name to call this
little segment we're doing podswap.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Does that name bump either of you for any reason?
Speaker 8 (02:31):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Okay, Well, allow my two dirty co hosts to tell
you that they dirty.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
I've never.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Said anyway.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
We've We've just we're calling this, uh two pods in
a cup or something, and we're just that, Yeah, we're
seeing it that If that bothers anyone, I love that one.
Speaker 8 (03:00):
You like that, Okay, Jenna. It's so nice to meet you.
I know, so nice to meet you. Guys. I've heard
so much about you guys from Kevin, and I was
so jealous of your your meetings of the mind.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yes, well, Kevin, the last time I saw you we
were in Vegas, and I was so blinded by my
excitement to gamble.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I barely even remember our conversation.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
Look, nobody endears themselves to me more than somebody who
has a gambling plan and we'll talk strategy.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I thought maybe a gambling problem was coming up.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
We are not there yet. I have not diagnosed anything.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Maybe by the time we're done with this se perhaps.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Perhaps have problems.
Speaker 7 (03:44):
My wife and I have said that Kevin was your
favorite concertgoer friend.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
So you, Sue and I.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Literally took me under your wing. And I felt I
was texting Jenna's like, I am just trying to play cool,
but the kindest, nicest, most positive people I know. You know,
Vegas can be a bit of a dark time. Danielle's version,
what are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
What are you talking about? I have no idea what
you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
I appreciate you because I was. I was without Jenna
and my other half, so I was like, I don't
know what I'm doing. This is fun.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
Like the professional ear blockers for the concert our ears because.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
We're why is Lenny Kravitz making my head bleed?
Speaker 6 (04:28):
These?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
And they're like the perfect kind of Yeah, it was amazing.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
It was really amazing.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
Oas frozen, Kevin lasted longer than I thought he would.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
If I'm honest, who's making it Dirney?
Speaker 8 (04:41):
Now?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I meant and then you took it there, Dan, Well,
well everything you say now I think is with that
in mind.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
So what do you really think of him now that
he's not here?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Let's get into it.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
It's got to be tough being named after one of
the best Celtics of all time?
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Though, did he tell you this that I just I grew.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Up on the East Coast.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Kevin McHale was one of the best Boston Celtics that's
ever played the game, So that must be tough being
Kevin McHale.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
When he shoot and he's quite short.
Speaker 8 (05:13):
Kevin's quite short, so we when we would get picked
up at the airport, often the drivers thought they were
picking up the Kevin and they would be quite disappointed
when little Kevin would show up, like, no, no, I'm
waiting for Kevin McHale.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
He's like, no, this is it's me.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
That's me.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
That's me.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
The camera adds three feet or three apple boxes.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Right there you go. It's a good thing. I'm short too.
Kevin's in the waiting room. He says, Okay, let him in.
He sucks so bad. God, I know.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Makes a whole lot of sense now.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
That you've told me all those stories. I don't want
to be that. How's it going?
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Amateur moves? Sivery care?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Have you heard of five G?
Speaker 6 (06:09):
Well, I'm currently hot spotting my five G Kevin, my
WiFi has just suddenly decided to go out.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
I'm so I'm so technologically advanced by the way that
five G is just slang for five guys.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
For me, that's all that is.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
So you are really made me hungry. Yeah, this is
why we had a great.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Time yest right to apparently share food.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Did you take the dirty again? Daniel? Going dirty? Guys instantly?
Speaker 6 (06:41):
You guys, I told you about my Halloween weekend and confidence.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Well, listen, we figured it would be a great moment
for our podcasts to sit down, get to know one another,
and bring forward some good old fashioned iHeart synergyenergy energy energy.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
So we have this card game here. It is called
talking Point.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
This is the family addition we are going to pick
a few cards out at random and then use them
as ice breakers, just to see where this discussion leads
us and to prove that sharing is carrying in the
high school crossover you never expected. Boy meets Glee. Some rules,
no one word answers. We have to really, we really
(07:30):
have to answer the questions. And if at any point
our producers think we're just answering in cliches or trying
to make ourselves sound better, we're going to hear this.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Synergy er.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
And then we'll have to move on. So honest answers only.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Whoa wow, all right, getting moderated.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Yeah, but there's no points.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
We're not like winning or losing, no learning correct.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I really like this first one. What are you most
proud of? Jenna?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You go first, Oh, well, I am a mom and
so I think I'm most proud of my daughter.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
She's two and a half and she is the joy
of our lives.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
I know it's it sounds cliche, producers.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
To say thought it was like my son, and I.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Was like, maybe that's just.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
You proud of your child. Yes, Can you find something
specific that you like a moment that you were like,
that's my kid?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Oh gosh, she's so young.
Speaker 8 (08:59):
I mean, she's two and a half, but she's she
is going to school, and everybody told me, like, drop
offs can be really hard and it's gonna be Like
at the first month we walked in, I was like,
mommy's gonna go work now and she's gonna be back later.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
And she went bye.
Speaker 8 (09:14):
Mom kissed me on the cheek and walked away, and
I was like, that's my girl.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
There you go. And you like, why did she leave
so easy?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yeah, she loved me exactly. I cried all the way home. Will,
what about you?
Speaker 5 (09:37):
I'm proud that I have no kids.
Speaker 7 (09:40):
I've been proud of that from the beginning, and proud
of that now you know what.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
You know what I'm proud of.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
I am proud, Oh God, to get ready for the
cliche and the synergy. But I am proud that my
two best friends and I thought about an idea for
a show, created a show. I've been working together ever
since and have been doing it, I think, really, really well,
and it has brought us even closer together.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
And I'm super proud of the work that the three
of us have done together.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Wow, that's a beautiful answer, Will, That's wow, and not
as cliche as I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I thought it was, I thought it, But that's very specific.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Yeah, but because I'd easily pick my wife if I
was going to go that way, I'd pick my wife
and my marriage.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
But I'm not. I'm going to pick my friends and
what we've accomplished together.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Okay, Kevin, how about you? What are you most proud
of you?
Speaker 6 (10:26):
Well, Damn, I think I am most proud of I
think I have good taste and friends. I love that way.
I am proud of myself for recognizing good people who
are worth it. I have a lot of the same friends.
My best friends are still my best friends from high school,
(10:50):
and I think that can be hard. You know. We're
surrounded by a lot of people who maybe after other things,
and the glee folk are within that best friend group,
and I feel like we've all worked really hard because
we've wanted to and maintained a really solid, steady, foundational
friendships with one another. So I'm proud of the friends
(11:12):
I have built built along the way.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I love that too.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I actually I was thinking something that you guys pointed
out to me when we had the gathering for podme's
world at my.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
House was just.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
You guys helped me recognize that, like my my house,
and I would say, like my lifestyle in general really
kind of is reflective of me, and like yes, right,
and I just realized, like, oh right, Like I've actually
built like my you know obviously my family, like my relationship,
but my friendship. Like I don't know, I just like
you guys helped me see that, Like, wow, I'm actually
(11:51):
kind of living what I've always dreamed, like in terms
of my life. You know, I have obviously ambitions career
and artistic, but if I actually take a back and
look at my social life, my family and like what.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
I do on a daily basis, It's pretty much exactly
what I've always wanted. And I'm really proud of that.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
I didn't realized that until relatively recently.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah, you don't live a single inauthentic moment like no, no.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
From the time you wake up in the morning till
the time you go to bed at night, your day
is filled with things that are that are truly authentic
to who you are and the desires you have and
the people you have chosen.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
It's a perfectly curated life.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
What about you, Danielle, What are you most proud of? Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Man, it's hard, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I think being a person who has a lot on
their plate, I often say that I'm not a very
good friend because I don't have like a ton of.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Time in my life for friends.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I have a lot of work obligations, I have a
lot of family obligations.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
But one of the things I've.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Noticed is that I do actually considering how little time
I have. I have a lot of people that I
regularly check in on and and talk to and and
people that even if I'm not particularly close to them,
I will think about something they've told me is going
on in their life, and I'll think I should check
in on them about that.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
And I'm pretty.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Good about remembering birthdays, and so I think I would
say I'm proud of my ability to care about a
large amount of people and make them feel that I
care about them.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
You're a great friend. You're You're actually a great friend.
You really are. Both you and are great friends.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
You really are.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
It's too bad. Jenna and Kevin just are good friends.
They're they should not. Well, can we invite them?
Speaker 6 (13:39):
See? And we have.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Question one.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
I've got to gamble with you. I've got to gamble
with you first. You know, we love we love it.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
We did start a group chat with Montel Jordan after
a podcast.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Maybe we could have a group chat with you guys. Trial.
There could be a trial and if you want. I
like that. I like that. It has to be on
WhatsApp though, because I don't have an iPhone, so I
ruined all group. Don't see I'm not a good friend.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
You know you're you went from great friend a good friend.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
You're right with the green text, very international.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
What's happening?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Okay, here's another one. What is something you tried really
hard to like but just couldn't Kevin, that's to you first.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
I hate when I don't like something, Why, especially especially
like food when I don't like a phone?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
What food do you not like?
Speaker 6 (14:41):
I don't like grapefruits?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Did you try really hard?

Like I can be cultured. No, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
How many times did you try anchovies?
Speaker 8 (14:59):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Like fo five times? You know I'm gonna yeah, I
will go for it, But no, that's a common Yeah,
what I've lost the what was the question? Again?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
What is something you tried really hard to you just
couldn't And I guess I'll go give it a valiant thank.
Speaker 6 (15:23):
You so much. I appreciate the support writer, what about you?
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Jazz cannot stand jazz.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Wanted so badly to be that guy who understood it
and liked it. And I mean, I've been to concerts.
I've been to I've listened to all the good stuff.
I have friends who are like really into it, and
I just can't do it.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
And I finally gave up.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
I'm like, you know what, I love blues. I love
like a lot of roots music. I love a lot
of different types of music. I like classical stuff.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Jazz will never like.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Just your brand.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
That's why I tried so hard. Yeah, I tried so hard.
Back of the Jazz Club, just muddling fruit.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I like jazz vocals like I like like jazz classics,
especially female jazz singers. I like a lot of it, yes,
but actual like instrumental only jazz, like you know, you
get into the cold trains.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
And all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I can I can like it as like background, but
like going to a concert and listening to people like
I'm like, Nope, my brain doesn't my brain doesn't go there.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
I'm not interested. I just zone out.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
And then I'm like I feel bad about myself for
not being smart or sophisticated enough.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
But now I'm just like fun, No, I can't. I
heard something super interesting yesterday.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
By the way, you will both learn that I'm the
bearer of absolute useless facts.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
But Ella Fitzgerald.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Her voice was so pitch perfect that the band used
to tune their instruments to her voice.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Wow, I could never be Wow.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Does anybody like jazz in this in this chat?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I like jazz.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I used to jas concerts all the Yeah, yeah, Jenna,
what about you? What's something you tried really hard to like?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
And just I can't do it?
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (17:08):
Well, I moved to from the East Coast to California
in two thousand and nine, and.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
We're exactly on the East coast drop a pin Long Island.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I was wrong island really from Nasalla County. Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 8 (17:25):
I learned a lot about like LA culture and life,
and a lot of people like their social morning hour
is like getting a coffee and taking a hike and
getting in nature.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I like being outside. I like nature, most of it,
I don't. I tried.
Speaker 8 (17:44):
I've hiked, I've hiked with friends, I've hiked alone, I've hiked.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
Speaker 8 (17:55):
And then my husband came along in twenty eighteen, I
moved back to these because then I moved back again.
I was like, well, maybe it's different this time. And
I tried again, and it's just not something I do.
So friends are like, you want to go and hike.
I'm like, I don't hike. So hiking is just one
of those things that I really I thought I could do,
as in like a los angele, and.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I can't do it. I won't do it now.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Yeah, interesting. LA hikes are very particular, though.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
She's empowered me to come out as an anti hiker.
Speaker 8 (18:25):
See see, I'm telling you, it's like a thing. There's
pure pressure, there's.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Social I love hiking, but I don't like LA hikes
because there's not enough trees right and it's always like
frymen or like it's somewhere.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Like straight up a hill and there's it's a social scene.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
So like people are like dressed up in their power
outfits and they're all like I can't stand it either.
I'm not a big fan of hiking in LA, but
I love hiking elsewhere, so I would recommend.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Maybe just giving it a shot in a different context.
But it is a very specific hiking culture.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
I'm not a fan.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Fair enough. Mine is naps. I want to love a nap.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I want to love a nap, but I cannot nap
for twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
I need four hours.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
If you give me four hours and I have an
hour to mindlessly doom scroll on my phone, thirty minutes
to start to fall asleep, an hour and a half
to sleep, and then thirty minutes to wake up from
that nap before I have.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
To deal with anybody, then I can do it.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
That's my everything.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Will to have your time, to have no children, and just,
oh my gosh, the amount of money you must have
with no kids an amount of time.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Well, I nap on a pile of money. It's the best.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
You and I both restless.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
I take a four hour twenties It's is right.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I can't I can't imagine bills. I can't imagine it.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Oh boy, all right, go do I know?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Sorry forgot all about you?
Speaker 7 (20:01):
Will?
Speaker 3 (20:02):
What's your sorry?
Speaker 5 (20:03):
I've tried to love when people ignore me.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
No, I'm what if you tried to love but you
just can't.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
This one is going to hurt writer. I apologize writer. Poetry,
Oh okay, I don't. I don't get it. I I
like epic poetry, like the Odyssey is my favorite story
of all time. I like ba I think that's more
the fantasy nerd in me than it is the I
just don't. I don't care that it's rhyming. I don't
(20:34):
care how I'm supposed to do it. I don't like
it at all.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
I love that answer. One of my other ones was art.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
That was the other.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I was like, not all of it art. I mean
it sounds, but art.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
You mean paintings, or you mean like visual art, special
visual art.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Also anybody who talks about art, or like people who
call things or.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Anything revolving around like art. I just love. But I don't.
But I don't actually feel that way as much anymore.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
But if you asked me two years ago, that's what
I would have said.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
But now I do.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
There's a lot of art I like, and I've actually
started buying some art and I do.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
So I just changed. I changed.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
So yeah, phenomenal High Gallery we should not be going
on Ancho to a place to eat.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
Anchovy has good art on the wall while listening to.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
Jazz, listening to and there with jazz. I can't do poetry.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
We can't read m I.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Like my cousin had that, but he's getting over it.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
What is something frivolous that you don't mind spending money on?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Jenna and I.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
Are the wrong people to ask.
Speaker 8 (22:10):
I just need like an enabler friend like Kevin, to be.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Like, just get it. You need it. You just you
deserve a little treat. I love a little tree. I
love a little treat. I same same. I woke up,
I got through the morning. I need a little treat.

a little treat all day long.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Me too.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
You deserve it, You deserve it. That's a good one.
I might This is really bad.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Water bottles, okay, like reusable water bottles, like Stanley.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Dollar fifty dollars, Stanley cubs, like thermoses that.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
This has been an open can of water for the
last month.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
I just don't think i'd have another one, just in
case I run out of the first.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Water bottles is frivolous waters like the least frivolous thing.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
The reusable ideas that you need one? So you has.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
A cabinet fault?
Speaker 8 (23:15):
You really?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Yeah, I do. Do they about your outfits?
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (23:21):
I wish no, but but they're cute. They are They're
like TI die and.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
And it's not like she's like, oh, it's become popular.
I'm going to get it. Jenna has been on the
train for four years on the pulse of the water bottles, hydro.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Flask, simple, modern, Stanley, you name it. I've got to
have this for you. I love this are are it?
Does it work for you? Are you well hydrated? I
drink a lot of water. I think that's partially why.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
Is like I can justify right, like yeah, yeah, Like
sometimes I'll just have two at once.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
That's exactly what the show is named after. That's why
we did this podswall.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I mean it's too two water bottles, one gal. I
knew we were onto something. Yeah. Kevin literally covered his mouth.
He's like, oh God, it happens daily. It's okay, it
happens daily. That's a problem.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
You are married, Well.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
What's something frivolous? You don't mind spending money?
Speaker 7 (24:28):
On. I'm I'm not tight fisted, but I don't like
buy a lot of stuff for somebody that has a
lot of stuff.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
I don't actually buy it.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
And I know you love a f I do, but
I like, I'll spend money on books. Not frivolous, No,
I guess, yeah, you know what, you know what's kind
of frivolous. I just bought my third grill. Oh, you're right,
you just bought a grill for for making smash burgers.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
I have a smoker.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
I my regular Weber grill right next to then the
Blackstone grill.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
So it's frivolous, though, because you make food for people
to consume, which we have to do.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Yeah, it's not frivolous.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
I don't really have anything frivolous anymore. I just back
in the toys. No, we get toys.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
You don't you get them?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
He gets them for free?
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Yeah, so no, I don't really. I don't buy clothes.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
I mean, back in the day, I would say cars,
but even I know one here or.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
There, and now you and Susan have one car.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
I don't even own a car at this point.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
I know when I use my wife, so like I
have the older I'm getting Like, the closer I'm getting
to fifty, the more I'm realizing just the less stuff
I need.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
I guess if I'm going to be frivolous.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
When Sue and I travel, we like to travel, well,
so you know that's where we spend our money. Is like, well,
that's where answer tells we do stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
I would say, when we travel, we tend to travel.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Hot first That's true. That's true. You travel first class
and you don't have to, but you do.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Right, right, So that's what I would pick.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
Okay, like that heaven, Well, mine was going to be travel.
But at the same time, I do like rack up
my miles and like try to use them and all that.
But like I will go all in on travel. So
to say something different, I have. I have a three
(26:19):
options for you. Shoes, well, the shoes and bags I
think are sort of good.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
I love a man bag. Tell me about your bags.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
It's it's a pretty it's a fairly recent development. It's
actually partly Jenna's fault. Jenna has great taste in bags,
and so anytime i'd be around her, she's like a
different bag. Like, they smell so good, they're beautiful, and
I'm like, I'm just not going to look good with
a purse, you know, like it's not gonna fit me.
But I did. I guess, like I don't know. I
(26:53):
hate to say merse because they're purses, but men wear them.
I like your.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Whole fanny pack thing has happened, so now everybody's wearing
the shoulder bags anything.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Crossbody is totally for me.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Yeah, and I'm I'm fully into it. I now have
a full collection. Jenny came over to my house or
like a couple of months ago and I was like,
what is what is this crossbody bag?
Speaker 8 (27:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (27:18):
And then I went into my own version. I went
and got it.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
I love them even like tote bags like I signed
up for like Architectural Digestive an ad send you a
tote And I'm like, Yes, who.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Doesn't have a New Yorker bag, doesn't have a new bag?
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Did you wait in mind for the Trader Joe bag?
Speaker 6 (27:41):
No? I don't do lines.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
We don't done.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
I don't. I don't wait in mine that.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
I love that thither fair enough?
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Do you wait in line or do you wait online?
Speaker 6 (27:54):
I'm not from either wait in line?
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Correct? You wait on line? Here?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Okay, okay, but you said you had options, so handbags,
we really jumped on that one.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
But you also said shoes. What kind of shoes?
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Speakers like Nikes, I and I wear like out of them,
so I go through I don't take care of them.
I get I buy them, and I wear them for
like destroy them and then I just keep kidding it's bad, Yeah,
because sometimes I like how they look, like, oh, these
aren't that comfortable. I won't return them right right them.
(28:25):
I'll wear them like twice and then I'll just donate them.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Yeah, we're we're I'm realizing we're very much the same, Kevin.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Because that was that any of your answer Daniel's shoes.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Oh, I have also many options also, which will.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
Buy more on a flight than I will in the
mind before I get out of bed, I'm like, oh,
how did I already? Yes, I mean it's like seriously,
I'll look over and she'd be like, I just bought
these six things.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
I'm like, we're on the tarmac still.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Before myself reception, before I have to hit airplane.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Maybe we shouldn't be friends because I don't think we
need any encouragement.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
My other option was like furniture, like no, why are
you buying furniture?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
I get that, I do get it. Writer. You also
not a frivolous spender.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
No.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
I mean, yeah, if travel and books eating out counts,
but I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Think that those really do.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
I feel like that's because and when I do travel,
I don't I don't fly, it doesn't spend. I don't
ever hesitate to take a trip. You know, I'll never
be like, oh, I'm not going to take that trip
because it's going to cost it. It's like, no, life
is always worth it, spend it to get out there
and see more of the world. But no, I thought
of one because it's it's obviously right now the season Halloween.
(29:44):
I will spend any amount of money on a costume,
and any amount of money on Halloween decorations.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I never think of, oh yeah, I love it so much.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
I love all of it, and so like, no problem
just being like one hundred and fifty dollars to put
together a costume that's interesting or cool I have.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
I just never and I do it for my son.
I like, we I spent so much money on Halloween
this year, but because.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
It like a giant, beautiful Halloween party, it's so fun
and it's just like one of my favorite things.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
So I will spend any amount of money on that stuff.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
That's a good one.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Yeah, that is good.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Guys, we don't have enough time to go through all
the things. We don't have enough time. Skincare, jewelry, handbags.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Shoes, diamonds.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
You like diamonds, and then you also like diamonds and
diamonds and the diamonds.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
You tell me there's a serum.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Did you tell me there's a serum out there and
it's a new serum and it's going to be good
for me. I have that serum. I'm gonna buy that serum.
Oh I Oh, that gave me an allergic reaction, gave
me I lid dermatitis. It'll take me a while to
figure out which one of them it is because I've
had too many new products on my face. True story,
that just happened last week. Yeah, there's just too many things.
(30:51):
Here's the problem. I love stuff, and I also hate stuff.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
You have stuff.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
I want no stuff. Get the stuff out of my house.
And what I'm realizing is I don't like other people's stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yes, I like my stuff. I want to live alone
with my stuff, and I want everyone to have their
own house. If you want to know what I think
the secret to a great marriages, it's separate homes.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Yo nearby.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
But your stuff stays in your place and I don't
have to see it or deal with it.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
I get to live with all my stuff.
Speaker 6 (31:28):
Yeah, one hundred and all.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
My stuff has its place, and it stays in the place,
and if I remove it, it goes back to its place.
My stuff is never missing or broken, and if it's broken,
I have a backup already waiting.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
That's the dream. Yes, I feel that in my bones. Yeah,
broken like a wife with two small children.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
That's right, that is right, who has no time for herself?
Speaker 3 (31:54):
The dream.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
I came to realize.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
You can't say to Danielle something like send her something
to be like hey, cool shirt. Like you can't do
that because she'll write you back ten seconds later. Ago
I ordered eleven, like wait, what always have a backup.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Sue sent me a jacket from Ireland.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
She was with, well, they were in they were in
Ireland or Scotland, Scotland, and she sent me a jacket
from an influencer we both follow and she was like,
this jacket is so cute and thirty minutes later, I
was like, I got you.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
One idea also arrived.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
By the way, what the heck is taking those jackets
so long?
Speaker 6 (32:32):
Ireland, you can't trust the influencer thing. Yes, my god, Ireland.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Yeah jeez.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
