Okay, it's not I should ask no.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yeah, no, you're not getting paid. But I know you
had some mixed feelings about being on the podcast. Is
it because you're not getting paid?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
No?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
So what was your mixed feelings?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I'm not a talker, I know.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
You're not, but you are a talker. Like when it's
just me and you, you do talk.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Well, this ain't really just me and you.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
How is it not just me and you? Literally in
the studio right now, it's literally just me and you.
No one can hear this but me and you.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Okay, let's get started down.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
We have started, babe, it's been started. I'm asking you
so like you don't so you were feeling weird about
the podcast because you don't feel like you talk a lot. Correct,
I think that's true, But like I said, you do
talk when it's just me and you. And I'm excited
for this series of podcasts because I feel like I
feel like the people are gonna be able to see
(01:22):
Kadem like I'm obsessed with Kadem. Speaking of why are
you laughing? This is literally how I talk about you,
and you don't you genuinely do not believe me.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I do believe.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
So how do you feel? Like? How does it make
you feel when I say if you had a zipper
on you and I just unzipped you and I could
just like walk inside you and wear you like a
like a onesie, How does that make you feel?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
It kind of makes me feel uncomfortable. It's kind of weird.
I've told you before. You give me love vibes like
from you, you give me love vibes. Well, and that's
an example right there.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I mean, I guess, so, I guess that's true. But
it's just because like it's not like in like a
I'm gonna go and kill over you, Like that's not
a thing, right, It's not a thing. I wouldn't kill
for you. Maybe I would, I don't know. I probably
should would you kill for me? Though? Like stop being
(02:23):
so awkward, Like it's okay, you are being awkward. You're
being awkward, but I get it. I understand because I'm
a professionally apper.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Ye with your eyes closed.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I don't know, like I feel like so Rich and
Stacey had part one of this podcast, the first one,
and I rookie mistake agreeing for going second because I
feel so awkward, like I don't you know what I mean,
I don't do this.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I don't Yeah, what are we supposed to do?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I don't know, I don't know. Okay, So we were
at lunch before this, we went to go get lunch
before we decided we were gonna sit down and record
this podcast, and you said that you didn't that you
weren't gonna pay the wedding questions the time of day?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Correct why because I don't feel like I need to
answer those.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Why though, But it's like it's a legit storyline like
on the show, like well, I had I literally told
a story that I had a dream. I don't even
know if I told you this, but I had a
dream that you had proposed to me. And it's a
storyline like it gets brought up like we talk about
me wanting to get married all the time, Why wouldn't
you pay that at.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
The time of day because they're asking when are you
gonna do this that I don't know? So am I
supposed to just make up? Oh, April April first, I'm
gonna propose right now?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I mean, like, no, you're not supposed to make it up,
but you can be like, I mean, I don't know yet.
I don't know. I'm still trying to figure things out.
It's coming. I want to marry you. I mean, you
don't have to explain that. But I'm just saying, like
right now when I'm talking to you and I'm like, hey,
what's up with this wedding? When are you gonna propose
to me?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I think that's fair. I can understand that.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, that's my business.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, I mean that's my business too, But genuinely, I
do want to be surprised, like, I don't really want
to know at the.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
End of the day, it's gonna happen when I feel
it's when I feel it's right.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
So okay, so here. So I feel like we covered
the engagement wedding question, don't you.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I mean, it's gonna have the same answer. I don't
know for anybody that's messaging Peyton or the John Jay
and Rich Page. I don't know anybody messaging me. I
do not know.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Okay, this one was one of my favorite questions that
we got. How do you let her get away with
stealing your clothes?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
It's not really something I can control because you wake
up at four o'clock in the morning and I'm sleep
So it's not like I wake up and when she
puts on my clothes, I see it after the factory.
If I see a video on Instagram, then I text
her right away like why are you wearing that? And
it's not even the fact that she wears my clothes.
She wears my good clothes that I wear, and then
(05:00):
when she comes home she takes them off in there,
she leaves them in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Why are you First of all, why are you talking
like you're not talking to me, Like it's.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Just I'm answering. I'm answering the question from the person.
So I'm talking to them.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Okay, but talk to me, Okay, Okay, what do you
say or leave them in the bathroom? Yes, well, I
mean that's where I take my clothes off to get
in the shower, but.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
You don't get in the shower right when you get home.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So I just take my clothes off and don't get
in the shower. Correct, So what do I put on
when I take my clothes off and don't get in
the shower.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Whatever you have underneath the pants.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
That's fair, exactly, No, that's fair. So okay. So for
y'all that don't know, Kadeem and I have been together
for coming up on five years next month, which is crazy,
crazy to think about that. It was no, you didn't No,
you didn't stop put don't put with me because you
know it wasn't for But as I was saying, like
(05:56):
if you didn't know that me and Kadem were dating
before I we were. I'd been together for I don't know,
maybe eight or nine months before I got hired to
be a part of the John Jane Ride show. So
we met. We met in college. I was in the middle,
could even tell the story about how we met, like
do you remember the first time you ever saw me?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah, but you didn't see me that day. Well you
see me, but like you didn't really see me.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I mean I saw you. You were just some dude
on the men's team, just sitting in on practice.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
No, it wasn't practice.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
What was it.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
You were in the gym training that girl, and me
and one of my teammates walked in and it was
just a bunch of people in the gym and you
were on one end training the girl, and like you
came up and get and talked to my teammate. But
because you knew him from the previous year, and you
didn't say nothing to me.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I didn't say hi, I didn't introduce myself.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Nope.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Okay, So do you remember the first time I introduced myself,
because I remember the first interaction that you and I
had together, or at least from my memory.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
No, I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
We were at something for like School. I don't know
what it was.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Oh, it was for the like the to introduce the
basketball teams.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
That's right, Because you played on the men's team and
I played on the women's team. So we were at
like one of those little events where you know, you
get hype about the teams and the programs, and you know,
you tried to get the rest of the school involved
and show school spirit, right, And you had gotten this
white T shirt that had like our school logo on it,
and I really wanted the T shirt, but you had
(07:22):
the T shirt. I asked you for the T shirt.
You said no, and I said, well, we can share
the T shirt. Why are you laughing? Why was that weird?
I mean that was me trying to.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Like flirt with you.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
That was me trying to say, what up, we could
wear the same share with SEP. We could share a
I guess. I mean that's the first interaction that I
remember having with you. And then I remember we talked
on Twitter for a little bit and then exchange numbers
and then you would come over and you'd get your
hair braided twisted. I would get your hair twisted, You
would get your hair twisted. So in that time, like,
(07:55):
did you have your eyes set on me or was
it one of those things where you were just like, Ooh,
I like her. I'm just gonna kick it with her.
We're gonna be in, We're gonna be friends. Maybe something
can happen.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I think it was both. But like at that time,
I wasn't really interested in pursuing anything just because of
things I was going through personally, So I wasn't that
wasn't really my mindset. But every time I seen you,
I would say something.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And it wasn't until like the last half of the
year that we had a couple classes.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
But it's not like I would just say something. I
would say something like trying to get you to mess with.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Me, Like what what would you say?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Well, like, you know, after after so we played right
after you guys. So after every game, after your game,
you guys would go into the little classroom and come
out and we would be warming up, and then I
would see you walk out, and then I would try
to stay on that side of the court until you
walk by and say like what's up or high or
whatever it is, And.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I would say, Hi, Yeah, yeah, I thought you were cute.
I know I was trying to friends on you. I
remember being like, you don't you don't want to deal
with me, you don't want to be with me.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I mean, really, you were one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Correct, so you were grutting it. Now.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
No, I'm just saying like I.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Wasn't lying to you. You weren't anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
But I can remember one game that I was playing
in and it was like this, like the first two
minutes of the game, and you were walking on the
sideline and I said, if I scored twenty five points,
then you gotta you gotta let me take you out.
And you was like okay, and I ended I ended
up doing that, and you left halfway through the game
because I started, you know, getting buckets, and you left
(09:30):
and then I text you the stats after the game,
and I don't think you responded. I don't know, but
that date didn't end up happening because whatever you else,
you had going on.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And I remember that, and just so you know, I
screenshotted you sending that to me, and I was like, oh,
he got a game, like I was thinking about it.
I was thinking about it. What you don't believe that?
I mean, I swear all my life. I swear all
my life I did that. I swear, but there is
like you know what I mean. My roommate didn't want
me to date you. She was, yeah, oh no, not
(10:01):
k And then I had two teammates and they were like,
what are you doing? Like why not? Who cares? So
shout out to Maya and Sam. Y'all got a special
spot at my wedding. Our wedding anyways. But my point
being and bringing up the background of you and I
being together is because one of the questions that we
had was, like, what is it like to be dating
(10:22):
someone who's in radio and in a spotlight like this?
What's that like? Considering you loved me before all of this.
I was just Peyton from Chandler Arizona. You know, I
wasn't Peyton on the John Jay and Rich Morning Show.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Can you say that question again? Because you said some
stuff after that.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I said, what is it like to be dating someone
in radio or in like the spotlight like this?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I think it's fine. The only thing that I don't
like sometimes is like my business being out there. But
I mean it's fine.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And like also too, babe, just so you know, it's
not like I'm coming in here.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And I'm like, oh it is it is, I'm.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Gonna be spilling the tea. No, it's not like that.
It's just says sometimes like I get caught up in
conversations and I just be talking and I don't even
realize that I'm talking because I'm sitting here talking to
my friend.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Because you talk too much.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I do talk too much. I know. I know. I'm
working on it, though, and I gotta say thanks to you.
I feel like I'm a lot better with that because
you're right. You're right sometimes like sometimes you know, I'm
sure you've had this kadem where like you feel like
you said too much and then you go home and
you think about it and you're like, why did I
say that? Like why did I Why was I so open?
(11:28):
I can understand that. I think a lot of people
can relate to that.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I've been there.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
It's not a average. I mean, it's just because I talk.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I'm so sorry, It's okay.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I mean, you know, like my love languages are words
of affirmation in physical touch, and like I just be talking.
I'll just be talking to talk sometimes sometimes I.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Just talk to me heard, I just want to tell
me about it.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Whatever, All right? This one is like a little deep.
What causes the most tension in your relationship?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I think I don't know. I really don't know, Like
that I would say what I just said, like you
just talking a little too much about something that I
don't want to be I don't want it to be known.
I think that's really it, Like there's not really nothing
that causes problems between us, because I mean, I feel
like we're solid.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I don't really get bothered by a lot that you
do you could. I think you get annoyed with me
over like little stuff like leaving my clothes in the
bathroom or.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
You know, or leaving clothing the washing machine, or leaving
clothes on the floor, or leaving clothes leaving shoes in
the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Well, I think you wouldn't really have this problem if,
like we didn't live in a one bedroom, one bathroom apartment.
Like I feel like if we had a bigger space,
you probably wouldn't notice that.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Kind of I would notice because you would still do
the same thing.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
But I'm saying you wouldn't notice as much, like it
wouldn't look as cluttered.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Mean, just be more clean.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I think that that I'm not clean just a little.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
During it that it is that you're not clean.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I mean, I'm fresh. If you walk up to me
like I don't stink, I didn't say my clothes don't stink.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
That's correct. But if I'll tell you this all the time,
you're too pretty to like do the things that you
do at home, Like it's it's unbelievable and I'm not
going to put your business out there, but it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I mean, yeah, maybe for the next podcast, that's a
good tease. Maybe maybe if I don't get my act together,
Kadeem will put me on blast in the next cup,
in the next.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Coman won't get it together, so we'll have to talk
about it.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I will get it together if I know that you're
gonna put me on blast. I don't want everyone to
know that anyways, Like I was saying, well, let's get
back to another question, let's move on to the next top.
All right, Kadeem, are you wanting to pursue a career
in education?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I don't know. I want to. I want to get
into coaching more. I've been coaching for the last three
four five years, but my main objective right now is
to coach and then obviously if I can get into
education through that then yes.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I mean, but coaching is education, I mean, yeah, it is.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
I think that was the question.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I mean, the question is are you wanting to pursue
a career in education? And I think coaching is education.
I think they tie in together.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
No, yeah, well to answer that question, yes, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
This next question, what drew you to me? Says? Actually
I'll read it too. It says, Kareem, what drew you
to Peyton?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
With any Well, first off, lest spell my name right.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
It's Kadem k A D E E M, like Kadeem Hartisan.
That's like, I think the most.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Known kadem or kadem strictly.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Or Kadem Strickland that's you, but also like auto correct,
Kadeem is not like a common name.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
No, I'm joking.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I know you are, but like you, you got to
laugh when you say it.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I mean, no, I don't.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
All right, So what's the question. What drew you to me?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Well? First off, she was in a basketball gym when
I first seen her, so that kind of like it.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Wasn't because I was a baddie? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Can I answer the question without you interrupting me? First
thing was, I'm sorry. She was in the basketball gym
and I'm an athlete as well or a former athlete.
And her looks she was very pretty.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I was pretty. No makeup, I don't think.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I mean, you know, I don't even like when you
wear makeup anyways.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I know, but but you do like it sometimes.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I mean, I wouldn't say I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I'll say you know what I say, you like me sweatpants,
hair tyed, chilling when no makeup bon were to Drake.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah, I said that we had a lot of things
in common with basketball and outside of basketball, So I
would say that kind of helped me. Helped me with
what I was going through at that time too, it
drew me to her more.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yeah, I think so too. I think the fact that
like both of us are coaches kids, like you grew
up in Portland, Oregon, I grew up in Channel, Arizona
and not necessarily stop it stop you know you love
it here. Do you claim do you claim Arizona is
where you live at?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I mean, I've been living here.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I mean, but do you claim it? Because you officially
have an Arizona driver's license?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
So putting my business, I mean.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
You're officially in Arizona resident.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I only got that because my organ one expired.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I'm just saying, you gotta claiming this is where you're from.
The surreal babies are gonna be born? Maybe so, but no,
I feel you on that. But it's kind of cool though,
like how we grew up in two totally different places
in what seems like worlds, but we do have so
much in common. We're both coaches kids, we're both you know,
point guards, things like that we both have siblings, we
(16:27):
both have our We definitely, I think are a lot
more similar than people realized, unless you like, really get
to know the both of us. Yeah, I think that's
pretty cool. I love that we're able to I like
that we were able to have that upbringing because I
feel like, I don't know, I feel like when we
started dating and when we started hanging out, like I
really felt like I could be myself again. I felt
like myself again. And I feel like that was because
(16:48):
you're a little weird and goofy too, and I know
you're a little monotone right now then, like you're too
cool for school, little Yeah, but it's like you're you're
a hell of funny and you're a hell of chill.
But not a lot of people get to experience that
part of Kadeem.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
They just get to everybody.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I like that, all right, Dave. He asked us, what
do we enjoy eating together?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
That's a hard question because we don't like the same things.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
We really don't. But I feel like we both enjoy
going to Red Robin, like we enjoy going sitting at
the bar, having a few drinks and going to Red Robin.
I feel like that's you can go there every day.
I think crows. I would not want to go to
Red Robin every day, but once a month is fine. Okay.
Next one, what's your favorite memory together and why is
it special?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I would say during COVID because that's kind of when
we connect it and kind of built a relationship from there.
That's the time I can think that's the most memorial
to me because that's when we started our relationship and
it grew from there.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I think some of my most memorable times with you
is really when we're in Portland and we're like with
your family and with your people, because it's like, you
know how earlier in this podcast you're like, not everybody
gets that, not everybody gets to see that you like
your friends and your family do. And I feel like
that's when I get like the most happy, joyful, like
(18:08):
like just like I feel like you get rejuvenated when
you're around them. I think, like anyone would if you
moved away from your family. Yeah, yeah, until they get annoying.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
But I think, what was that about you?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
So you think, No, I don't think they're annoying. I'm
just saying I can I understand, Like, yeah, absolutely, and
I know those times when you're ready to come back home,
but I think those are something I think my favorite
memories with us. It's just seeing you around your people.
I love being able to see you like that around
anyone else other than me too. Anyways, I think that's cool.
(18:40):
This one's funny. Who likes who better? I think I
like you better than you.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Of course you think that, but I don't know how
how you think that.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I just do. It's because I, like I said, like,
I'm just the words of affirmation person like, I mean,
you tell me you love me, but like you could
tell me like twenty times.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
More death, so affirmation person that means you like me more.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
No, I'm saying that I feel like I show communicatively.
Is that even a word?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I feel like I show that. I feel like I'm
a lot more vocal, Like I feel like you're a
lot more. You do things for me, You tell me
you love me, so I feel like you're an access
service guy.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
So I'm gonna ask that person a question. So, if
if you show somebody you like somebody more by your
actions are your words?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I understand that you tell me that all the time.
I feel like I show action wise too. You do.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I'm not saying you don't, but what you explain, I
would rather some action.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
No, I hear you. I hear you. That's fair. I
think we both like each other a Lotah. Yeah, that's good.
How do you feel about this, Kadeem? Because I feel
like this is a hot take that's been brought up
like on the show's social media. You know what I mean?
Because you, like you said you're a cool guy over
here Peyton's boyfriend is so boring based off his personality
(19:59):
and him being a buzz kill. Why.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I mean, I don't know why people think I'm bored
and I really don't care. And that person that probably
asked that question probably doesn't even show their face on
their Instagram, So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Okay, you should see good space right now. He's like, okay, No.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I like I like being born, I like being in
the house. I like, yeah, like that's fine with me.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
How do you feel about my rebranding?
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I mean it's fine. I don't feel no type of
way about it. I like it. I think you should
have done things earlier, and you know, but.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
You think I should have been doing my rebrand years ago.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Not just I mean, not really a rebrand. I feel
like you should have been more active in doing things
that you're doing now years ago.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I agree, I agree, and he told me that. But
of course, you know you don't listen. I know, I know,
all right, this comment she said, I waited six and
a half years for my guy to propose. How long
will you wait? But I feel like, I mean.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
That's a question for you.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Oh, I guess it is. I mean, I'll wait, I'll wait.
I mean, I want to be married for a little
bit before we decide to have kids and stuff. But
I'll wait when we're ready. Because even like you said,
like you're like, i'll propose when I'm ready, I think
you'll propose when we're ready, you know, I mean, I
guess because if I'm not ready, you're not going to
propose to me.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
You've been ready since the day I met you.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
I'm glad that you I'm glad that you know that.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I mean, I wouldn't say ready. You've been saying you're ready.
I wouldn't say you're ready. You were ready.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, I just I just love you a lot, all right?
What is your zodiac sign Aquarius? And I'm a Leo,
do you feel like, do you believe in that stuff?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
No?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Why are you not believing that we are literally the
exact opposite on zodiac signs and we're the perfect match?
How is that not? How do you not believe that
it's in the science? What science in the stars?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Could I don't believe in that. I don't think everybody's different.
I know a lot of aquariuses that are different.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Than me, but you're just a different like might be
an alien for real, that's how different you are from
everyone else.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I mean, I guess, yeah, I think answer your question, no,
I don't believe in it all right.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Last question? Who said I love you first? Kadem did?
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I don't remember that.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I do. I remember vividly you said it first, but
I'm sure you probably felt bad. I don't think I
said it first, but I don't think I could at first.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
It's okay if I said it first.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I don't remember. Do you remember we went on our
first date?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
You said it was.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
No, it wasn't mod well, it wasn't necessarily it wasn't
really even like a date. It was just the first
place that you took me and bought my food. So
I guess it's a date.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Uh, I guess I don't really think that's a date.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, I really don't remember. Like our first sit down
date though, who cooks better?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Answered?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I don't cook. I mean, but when you may burgers,
they're fire.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I don't cook much and you don't cook much, but
you cook more than me. But I cook better, you think.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
So you had mentioned to me that you wanted to
try to start cooking more. Do you still want to
do that?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Well, yeah, because you don't, so, I mean, I got
what are we gonna eat? I mean, gon keep eating
out every day?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, it's just because, like I just it's hard because
I like, I feel like I always grew up coming,
I mean in you too. Like we've talked about this,
like my parents always stopped and we always got something
fast food to eat because we're always coming from practices
and all types of stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
We didn't talk about that because I didn't eat out
a lot.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I know, we did talk about it because you said
that we didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, and I was in the gym more than you.
So I don't get that excuse.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I mean, it's not an excuse, that's just the reality
of what happened. That's the truth.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Okay, what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Okay, okay, you're not very good at podcasting. You're supposed
to go back and forth.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I've been talking this whole time.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
So when it comes to the show, who's your favorite
on the show? Out of John J. Rich Kyle.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I mean, I wouldn't say your favorite, but I think
I have the best relationship with Rich.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yeah, because we've gone on a couple of dates.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah. He you know, he invited us over to his
house a couple of times for events or just to
hang out. And he took us to dinner a couple
of times, and you know, he tried to get to
know me, and you know, I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
How did you feel about like when we all went
to drink together.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I don't really remember you were lit, well I do.
I do remember a little bit. I know I was
in everybody's face.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
You were not in everyone's face.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I know I was in John J's face. I was
recording a video of me and John Jay.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I mean, I was a grand old time. If you
weren't in his face, you were just taking a little video.
I don't Rich was there for a little bit, but
I don't know if you had really saw.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Him yet Kyle was she. I think Kyle left early
and then Dutch Dutch was there too.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah, I don't know if Dutch came up to the
sweet he.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Did come up because I was recording with him too.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I think that that was really fun for like the
rest of the crew to kind of see a little
bit of the walls taken down from him.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I mean that was kind of a little bit overboard
for me. That was nobody won't see that again. But
it was a good time.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, it was a good time. And I know we
had talked about too, like bringing up you said you
wanted to address the podcast because I mistakenly told you
that Kyle's husband, Scott was like.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah, yeah, so for anybody that plays Madden or any
e A Sports game and you know that e A
Sports guy, thats a e A Sports was in the game.
Peyton told me that that was Kyle's husband, Scott. And
I've been I've been playing Madden and playing e A
(25:59):
Sports games since I was could remember. And I remember
one time Peyton had like a birthday party or something.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
It was my promotion party, got promoted to.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Be on the app, some type of party at our
house and everybody came over, and they came over, and
you know, I had a couple couple of drinks and
I see Kyle and Scott over there. So I walk
over there and I'm like, oh my god, you're you're
the EA Sports guy. And then they're kind of like
looking at me, like they're not saying that he's not
the EA Sports guy, but they're just kind of looking
(26:30):
at me, like, and I just keep going on and
on about it. And then after that, I think it
was a couple of days after where Peyton had found
out that he wasn't that guy, and I was just
so embarrassed. And then and the next every time I
see Kyle and Scott, I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I'm sorry for that's but first of all, and I
feel like that's on me because I was I didn't know,
like I just knew. I thought I had posted as
he's a voiceover guy like that, like the sports I
like he does stuff like that, like he's literally doing
the Jonas Brothers tour.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Right, you said he was the EA Sports guy. You
said that. If you didn't say that.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
I would never even No, I understand it. I'm sorry, babe,
because I was not.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
You should be sorry about that because that was embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I know, I hear you.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
I'm still embarrassed to this day.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Well, you shouldn't be embarrassed, Like.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I can't show my face around Klin. Why, yes, you
can embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Don't be embarrassed. Stop right now.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And you know every time that I see them, I'm like, I'm.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Sorry, I know who cares like And plus you had
a little bit to drink. Anyway, that's partially your fault.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
No, it's not, because if I didn't have anything to drink,
I would have done that.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I hear you. Sorry, baby, But anyways, I feel like
this was fun. I feel like I enjoyed being able
to like be intentional with like taking the time to
actually sit and just talk about some stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, I think if we're gonna do this again, I
think we need some for the listeners out there. I
think we need some juicier questions.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I agree, like we just need to come. I think
I should come a little bit more prepared. Ya just
write down my questions or write down the topics because
I definitely didn't, or.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Like you come up with some stuff to talk about too,
because you know, I'm doing this for you know this? Yeah,
this ain't for me.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
So what do you think about when people say that
you're shy?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I mean, I don't think nothing about it.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
You don't think you're shy?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I know I'm not. I think people get getting mixed up,
like shy and quiet are two totally different things. Like
I can have a conversation with somebody and I'm not,
Like I don't get nervous like talking to people like
I'm not. I think that's shy. Like I'm just like
a lot of time I don't have something to say
or like there ain't nothing to say unless somebody say
(28:40):
something to me or start a conversation. But that's not
always how it is. Sometimes I do start a conversation.
Sometimes I have something to say.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
So I think it just depends on, you know, the
vibe and who are.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Around, like right now, Like right now on the podcast,
I don't have nothing to say, but but if something
said to me, I'm gonna address it.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Did you have fun? Did you enjoy it?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah? It was cool?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah it's cool. Well, thanks babe for doing this with
me and for me.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yeah did I have a choice?
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Yeah? You did? Said no, and then I would have
to come back in here and been like you said no,
and then I would have been annoyed, and then it
would have been a whole thing.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I feel like I did said no.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I don't think you said no. I think you were
down to do it because you knew I needed to
do it.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Yeah, I like, I like, I like the group that
you're working with. So thanks, that's that's partly why I
did it.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Yeah, I appreciate that. Well, thanks babe, No problem. I
love you.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Everybody follow me on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
You don't want to say love you back you? Oh yeah,
plug yourself on Instagram.

not consistent, but.

We will be. I mean, okay, it's at Deem and

of weeks
Broadcasting live across the world right now.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
This is the John Jay and Rich radio program. I
know you were like you had mixed feelings about coming
on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Have we started? Yeah, well I had a question before
we continue. Okay, am I getting paid for this?
Speaker 2 (00:19):
No? Okay, you're doing it because you love me and
I appreciate you and I was asked to do it.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
H Okay for work.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
You know it's a thing.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Okay, let's get started.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
To you.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Okay, it's not I should ask no.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yeah, no, you're not getting paid. But I know you
had some mixed feelings about being on the podcast. Is
it because you're not getting paid?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
No?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
So what was your mixed feelings?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I'm not a talker, I know.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
You're not, but you are a talker. Like when it's
just me and you, you do talk.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Well, this ain't really just me and you.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
How is it not just me and you? Literally in
the studio right now, it's literally just me and you.
No one can hear this but me and you.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Okay, let's get started down.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
We have started, babe, it's been started. I'm asking you
so like you don't so you were feeling weird about
the podcast because you don't feel like you talk a lot. Correct,
I think that's true, But like I said, you do
talk when it's just me and you. And I'm excited
for this series of podcasts because I feel like I
feel like the people are gonna be able to see
(01:22):
Kadem like I'm obsessed with Kadem. Speaking of why are
you laughing? This is literally how I talk about you,
and you don't you genuinely do not believe me.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I do believe.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
So how do you feel? Like? How does it make
you feel when I say if you had a zipper
on you and I just unzipped you and I could
just like walk inside you and wear you like a
like a onesie, How does that make you feel?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
It kind of makes me feel uncomfortable. It's kind of weird.
I've told you before. You give me love vibes like
from you, you give me love vibes. Well, and that's
an example right there.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I mean, I guess, so, I guess that's true. But
it's just because like it's not like in like a
I'm gonna go and kill over you, Like that's not
a thing, right, It's not a thing. I wouldn't kill
for you. Maybe I would, I don't know. I probably
should would you kill for me? Though? Like stop being
(02:23):
so awkward, Like it's okay, you are being awkward. You're
being awkward, but I get it. I understand because I'm
a professionally apper.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Ye with your eyes closed.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I don't know, like I feel like so Rich and
Stacey had part one of this podcast, the first one,
and I rookie mistake agreeing for going second because I
feel so awkward, like I don't you know what I mean,
I don't do this.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I don't Yeah, what are we supposed to do?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I don't know, I don't know. Okay, So we were
at lunch before this, we went to go get lunch
before we decided we were gonna sit down and record
this podcast, and you said that you didn't that you
weren't gonna pay the wedding questions the time of day?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Correct why because I don't feel like I need to
answer those.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Why though, But it's like it's a legit storyline like
on the show, like well, I had I literally told
a story that I had a dream. I don't even
know if I told you this, but I had a
dream that you had proposed to me. And it's a
storyline like it gets brought up like we talk about
me wanting to get married all the time, Why wouldn't
you pay that at.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
The time of day because they're asking when are you
gonna do this that I don't know? So am I
supposed to just make up? Oh, April April first, I'm
gonna propose right now?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I mean, like, no, you're not supposed to make it up,
but you can be like, I mean, I don't know yet.
I don't know. I'm still trying to figure things out.
It's coming. I want to marry you. I mean, you
don't have to explain that. But I'm just saying, like
right now when I'm talking to you and I'm like, hey,
what's up with this wedding? When are you gonna propose
to me?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I think that's fair. I can understand that.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, that's my business.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, I mean that's my business too, But genuinely, I
do want to be surprised, like, I don't really want
to know at the.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
End of the day, it's gonna happen when I feel
it's when I feel it's right.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
So okay, so here. So I feel like we covered
the engagement wedding question, don't you.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I mean, it's gonna have the same answer. I don't
know for anybody that's messaging Peyton or the John Jay
and Rich Page. I don't know anybody messaging me. I
do not know.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Okay, this one was one of my favorite questions that
we got. How do you let her get away with
stealing your clothes?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
It's not really something I can control because you wake
up at four o'clock in the morning and I'm sleep
So it's not like I wake up and when she
puts on my clothes, I see it after the factory.
If I see a video on Instagram, then I text
her right away like why are you wearing that? And
it's not even the fact that she wears my clothes.
She wears my good clothes that I wear, and then
(05:00):
when she comes home she takes them off in there,
she leaves them in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Why are you First of all, why are you talking
like you're not talking to me, Like it's.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Just I'm answering. I'm answering the question from the person.
So I'm talking to them.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Okay, but talk to me, Okay, Okay, what do you
say or leave them in the bathroom? Yes, well, I
mean that's where I take my clothes off to get
in the shower, but.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
You don't get in the shower right when you get home.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So I just take my clothes off and don't get
in the shower. Correct, So what do I put on
when I take my clothes off and don't get in
the shower.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Whatever you have underneath the pants.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
That's fair, exactly, No, that's fair. So okay. So for
y'all that don't know, Kadeem and I have been together
for coming up on five years next month, which is crazy,
crazy to think about that. It was no, you didn't No,
you didn't stop put don't put with me because you
know it wasn't for But as I was saying, like
(05:56):
if you didn't know that me and Kadem were dating
before I we were. I'd been together for I don't know,
maybe eight or nine months before I got hired to
be a part of the John Jane Ride show. So
we met. We met in college. I was in the middle,
could even tell the story about how we met, like
do you remember the first time you ever saw me?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah, but you didn't see me that day. Well you
see me, but like you didn't really see me.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I mean I saw you. You were just some dude
on the men's team, just sitting in on practice.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
No, it wasn't practice.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
What was it.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
You were in the gym training that girl, and me
and one of my teammates walked in and it was
just a bunch of people in the gym and you
were on one end training the girl, and like you
came up and get and talked to my teammate. But
because you knew him from the previous year, and you
didn't say nothing to me.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I didn't say hi, I didn't introduce myself.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Nope.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Okay, So do you remember the first time I introduced myself,
because I remember the first interaction that you and I
had together, or at least from my memory.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
No, I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
We were at something for like School. I don't know
what it was.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Oh, it was for the like the to introduce the
basketball teams.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
That's right, Because you played on the men's team and
I played on the women's team. So we were at
like one of those little events where you know, you
get hype about the teams and the programs, and you know,
you tried to get the rest of the school involved
and show school spirit, right, And you had gotten this
white T shirt that had like our school logo on it,
and I really wanted the T shirt, but you had
(07:22):
the T shirt. I asked you for the T shirt.
You said no, and I said, well, we can share
the T shirt. Why are you laughing? Why was that weird?
I mean that was me trying to.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Like flirt with you.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
That was me trying to say, what up, we could
wear the same share with SEP. We could share a
I guess. I mean that's the first interaction that I
remember having with you. And then I remember we talked
on Twitter for a little bit and then exchange numbers
and then you would come over and you'd get your
hair braided twisted. I would get your hair twisted, You
would get your hair twisted. So in that time, like,
(07:55):
did you have your eyes set on me or was
it one of those things where you were just like, Ooh,
I like her. I'm just gonna kick it with her.
We're gonna be in, We're gonna be friends. Maybe something
can happen.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I think it was both. But like at that time,
I wasn't really interested in pursuing anything just because of
things I was going through personally, So I wasn't that
wasn't really my mindset. But every time I seen you,
I would say something.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And it wasn't until like the last half of the
year that we had a couple classes.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
But it's not like I would just say something. I
would say something like trying to get you to mess with.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Me, Like what what would you say?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Well, like, you know, after after so we played right
after you guys. So after every game, after your game,
you guys would go into the little classroom and come
out and we would be warming up, and then I
would see you walk out, and then I would try
to stay on that side of the court until you
walk by and say like what's up or high or
whatever it is, And.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I would say, Hi, Yeah, yeah, I thought you were cute.
I know I was trying to friends on you. I
remember being like, you don't you don't want to deal
with me, you don't want to be with me.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I mean, really, you were one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Correct, so you were grutting it. Now.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
No, I'm just saying like I.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Wasn't lying to you. You weren't anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
But I can remember one game that I was playing
in and it was like this, like the first two
minutes of the game, and you were walking on the
sideline and I said, if I scored twenty five points,
then you gotta you gotta let me take you out.
And you was like okay, and I ended I ended
up doing that, and you left halfway through the game
because I started, you know, getting buckets, and you left
(09:30):
and then I text you the stats after the game,
and I don't think you responded. I don't know, but
that date didn't end up happening because whatever you else,
you had going on.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And I remember that, and just so you know, I
screenshotted you sending that to me, and I was like, oh,
he got a game, like I was thinking about it.
I was thinking about it. What you don't believe that?
I mean, I swear all my life. I swear all
my life I did that. I swear, but there is
like you know what I mean. My roommate didn't want
me to date you. She was, yeah, oh no, not
(10:01):
k And then I had two teammates and they were like,
what are you doing? Like why not? Who cares? So
shout out to Maya and Sam. Y'all got a special
spot at my wedding. Our wedding anyways. But my point
being and bringing up the background of you and I
being together is because one of the questions that we
had was, like, what is it like to be dating
(10:22):
someone who's in radio and in a spotlight like this?
What's that like? Considering you loved me before all of this.
I was just Peyton from Chandler Arizona. You know, I
wasn't Peyton on the John Jay and Rich Morning Show.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Can you say that question again? Because you said some
stuff after that.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I said, what is it like to be dating someone
in radio or in like the spotlight like this?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I think it's fine. The only thing that I don't
like sometimes is like my business being out there. But
I mean it's fine.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And like also too, babe, just so you know, it's
not like I'm coming in here.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And I'm like, oh it is it is, I'm.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Gonna be spilling the tea. No, it's not like that.
It's just says sometimes like I get caught up in
conversations and I just be talking and I don't even
realize that I'm talking because I'm sitting here talking to
my friend.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Because you talk too much.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I do talk too much. I know. I know. I'm
working on it, though, and I gotta say thanks to you.
I feel like I'm a lot better with that because
you're right. You're right sometimes like sometimes you know, I'm
sure you've had this kadem where like you feel like
you said too much and then you go home and
you think about it and you're like, why did I
say that? Like why did I Why was I so open?
(11:28):
I can understand that. I think a lot of people
can relate to that.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I've been there.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
It's not a average. I mean, it's just because I talk.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I'm so sorry, It's okay.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I mean, you know, like my love languages are words
of affirmation in physical touch, and like I just be talking.
I'll just be talking to talk sometimes sometimes I.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Just talk to me heard, I just want to tell
me about it.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Whatever, All right? This one is like a little deep.
What causes the most tension in your relationship?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I think I don't know. I really don't know, Like
that I would say what I just said, like you
just talking a little too much about something that I
don't want to be I don't want it to be known.
I think that's really it, Like there's not really nothing
that causes problems between us, because I mean, I feel
like we're solid.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I don't really get bothered by a lot that you
do you could. I think you get annoyed with me
over like little stuff like leaving my clothes in the
bathroom or.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
You know, or leaving clothing the washing machine, or leaving
clothes on the floor, or leaving clothes leaving shoes in
the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Well, I think you wouldn't really have this problem if,
like we didn't live in a one bedroom, one bathroom apartment.
Like I feel like if we had a bigger space,
you probably wouldn't notice that.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Kind of I would notice because you would still do
the same thing.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
But I'm saying you wouldn't notice as much, like it
wouldn't look as cluttered.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Mean, just be more clean.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I think that that I'm not clean just a little.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
During it that it is that you're not clean.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I mean, I'm fresh. If you walk up to me
like I don't stink, I didn't say my clothes don't stink.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
That's correct. But if I'll tell you this all the time,
you're too pretty to like do the things that you
do at home, Like it's it's unbelievable and I'm not
going to put your business out there, but it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I mean, yeah, maybe for the next podcast, that's a
good tease. Maybe maybe if I don't get my act together,
Kadeem will put me on blast in the next cup,
in the next.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Coman won't get it together, so we'll have to talk
about it.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I will get it together if I know that you're
gonna put me on blast. I don't want everyone to
know that anyways, Like I was saying, well, let's get
back to another question, let's move on to the next top.
All right, Kadeem, are you wanting to pursue a career
in education?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I don't know. I want to. I want to get
into coaching more. I've been coaching for the last three
four five years, but my main objective right now is
to coach and then obviously if I can get into
education through that then yes.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I mean, but coaching is education, I mean, yeah, it is.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
I think that was the question.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I mean, the question is are you wanting to pursue
a career in education? And I think coaching is education.
I think they tie in together.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
No, yeah, well to answer that question, yes, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
This next question, what drew you to me? Says? Actually
I'll read it too. It says, Kareem, what drew you
to Peyton?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
With any Well, first off, lest spell my name right.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
It's Kadem k A D E E M, like Kadeem Hartisan.
That's like, I think the most.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Known kadem or kadem strictly.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Or Kadem Strickland that's you, but also like auto correct,
Kadeem is not like a common name.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
No, I'm joking.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I know you are, but like you, you got to
laugh when you say it.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I mean, no, I don't.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
All right, So what's the question. What drew you to me?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Well? First off, she was in a basketball gym when
I first seen her, so that kind of like it.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Wasn't because I was a baddie? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Can I answer the question without you interrupting me? First
thing was, I'm sorry. She was in the basketball gym
and I'm an athlete as well or a former athlete.
And her looks she was very pretty.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I was pretty. No makeup, I don't think.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I mean, you know, I don't even like when you
wear makeup anyways.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I know, but but you do like it sometimes.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I mean, I wouldn't say I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I'll say you know what I say, you like me sweatpants,
hair tyed, chilling when no makeup bon were to Drake.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah, I said that we had a lot of things
in common with basketball and outside of basketball, So I
would say that kind of helped me. Helped me with
what I was going through at that time too, it
drew me to her more.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yeah, I think so too. I think the fact that
like both of us are coaches kids, like you grew
up in Portland, Oregon, I grew up in Channel, Arizona
and not necessarily stop it stop you know you love
it here. Do you claim do you claim Arizona is
where you live at?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I mean, I've been living here.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I mean, but do you claim it? Because you officially
have an Arizona driver's license?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
So putting my business, I mean.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
You're officially in Arizona resident.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I only got that because my organ one expired.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I'm just saying, you gotta claiming this is where you're from.
The surreal babies are gonna be born? Maybe so, but no,
I feel you on that. But it's kind of cool though,
like how we grew up in two totally different places
in what seems like worlds, but we do have so
much in common. We're both coaches kids, we're both you know,
point guards, things like that we both have siblings, we
(16:27):
both have our We definitely, I think are a lot
more similar than people realized, unless you like, really get
to know the both of us. Yeah, I think that's
pretty cool. I love that we're able to I like
that we were able to have that upbringing because I
feel like, I don't know, I feel like when we
started dating and when we started hanging out, like I
really felt like I could be myself again. I felt
like myself again. And I feel like that was because
(16:48):
you're a little weird and goofy too, and I know
you're a little monotone right now then, like you're too
cool for school, little Yeah, but it's like you're you're
a hell of funny and you're a hell of chill.
But not a lot of people get to experience that
part of Kadeem.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
They just get to everybody.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I like that, all right, Dave. He asked us, what
do we enjoy eating together?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
That's a hard question because we don't like the same things.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
We really don't. But I feel like we both enjoy
going to Red Robin, like we enjoy going sitting at
the bar, having a few drinks and going to Red Robin.
I feel like that's you can go there every day.
I think crows. I would not want to go to
Red Robin every day, but once a month is fine. Okay.
Next one, what's your favorite memory together and why is
it special?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I would say during COVID because that's kind of when
we connect it and kind of built a relationship from there.
That's the time I can think that's the most memorial
to me because that's when we started our relationship and
it grew from there.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I think some of my most memorable times with you
is really when we're in Portland and we're like with
your family and with your people, because it's like, you
know how earlier in this podcast you're like, not everybody
gets that, not everybody gets to see that you like
your friends and your family do. And I feel like
that's when I get like the most happy, joyful, like
(18:08):
like just like I feel like you get rejuvenated when
you're around them. I think, like anyone would if you
moved away from your family. Yeah, yeah, until they get annoying.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
But I think, what was that about you?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
So you think, No, I don't think they're annoying. I'm
just saying I can I understand, Like, yeah, absolutely, and
I know those times when you're ready to come back home,
but I think those are something I think my favorite
memories with us. It's just seeing you around your people.
I love being able to see you like that around
anyone else other than me too. Anyways, I think that's cool.
(18:40):
This one's funny. Who likes who better? I think I
like you better than you.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Of course you think that, but I don't know how
how you think that.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I just do. It's because I, like I said, like,
I'm just the words of affirmation person like, I mean,
you tell me you love me, but like you could
tell me like twenty times.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
More death, so affirmation person that means you like me more.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
No, I'm saying that I feel like I show communicatively.
Is that even a word?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I feel like I show that. I feel like I'm
a lot more vocal, Like I feel like you're a
lot more. You do things for me, You tell me
you love me, so I feel like you're an access
service guy.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
So I'm gonna ask that person a question. So, if
if you show somebody you like somebody more by your
actions are your words?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I understand that you tell me that all the time.
I feel like I show action wise too. You do.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I'm not saying you don't, but what you explain, I
would rather some action.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
No, I hear you. I hear you. That's fair. I
think we both like each other a Lotah. Yeah, that's good.
How do you feel about this, Kadeem? Because I feel
like this is a hot take that's been brought up
like on the show's social media. You know what I mean?
Because you, like you said you're a cool guy over
here Peyton's boyfriend is so boring based off his personality
(19:59):
and him being a buzz kill. Why.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I mean, I don't know why people think I'm bored
and I really don't care. And that person that probably
asked that question probably doesn't even show their face on
their Instagram, So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Okay, you should see good space right now. He's like, okay, No.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I like I like being born, I like being in
the house. I like, yeah, like that's fine with me.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
How do you feel about my rebranding?
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I mean it's fine. I don't feel no type of
way about it. I like it. I think you should
have done things earlier, and you know, but.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
You think I should have been doing my rebrand years ago.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Not just I mean, not really a rebrand. I feel
like you should have been more active in doing things
that you're doing now years ago.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I agree, I agree, and he told me that. But
of course, you know you don't listen. I know, I know,
all right, this comment she said, I waited six and
a half years for my guy to propose. How long
will you wait? But I feel like, I mean.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
That's a question for you.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Oh, I guess it is. I mean, I'll wait, I'll wait.
I mean, I want to be married for a little
bit before we decide to have kids and stuff. But
I'll wait when we're ready. Because even like you said,
like you're like, i'll propose when I'm ready, I think
you'll propose when we're ready, you know, I mean, I
guess because if I'm not ready, you're not going to
propose to me.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
You've been ready since the day I met you.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
I'm glad that you I'm glad that you know that.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I mean, I wouldn't say ready. You've been saying you're ready.
I wouldn't say you're ready. You were ready.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, I just I just love you a lot, all right?
What is your zodiac sign Aquarius? And I'm a Leo,
do you feel like, do you believe in that stuff?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
No?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Why are you not believing that we are literally the
exact opposite on zodiac signs and we're the perfect match?
How is that not? How do you not believe that
it's in the science? What science in the stars?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Could I don't believe in that. I don't think everybody's different.
I know a lot of aquariuses that are different.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Than me, but you're just a different like might be
an alien for real, that's how different you are from
everyone else.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I mean, I guess, yeah, I think answer your question, no,
I don't believe in it all right.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Last question? Who said I love you first? Kadem did?
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I don't remember that.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I do. I remember vividly you said it first, but
I'm sure you probably felt bad. I don't think I
said it first, but I don't think I could at first.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
It's okay if I said it first.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I don't remember. Do you remember we went on our
first date?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
You said it was.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
No, it wasn't mod well, it wasn't necessarily it wasn't
really even like a date. It was just the first
place that you took me and bought my food. So
I guess it's a date.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Uh, I guess I don't really think that's a date.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, I really don't remember. Like our first sit down
date though, who cooks better?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Answered?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I don't cook. I mean, but when you may burgers,
they're fire.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I don't cook much and you don't cook much, but
you cook more than me. But I cook better, you think.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
So you had mentioned to me that you wanted to
try to start cooking more. Do you still want to
do that?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Well, yeah, because you don't, so, I mean, I got
what are we gonna eat? I mean, gon keep eating
out every day?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, it's just because, like I just it's hard because
I like, I feel like I always grew up coming,
I mean in you too. Like we've talked about this,
like my parents always stopped and we always got something
fast food to eat because we're always coming from practices
and all types of stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
We didn't talk about that because I didn't eat out
a lot.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I know, we did talk about it because you said
that we didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, and I was in the gym more than you.
So I don't get that excuse.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I mean, it's not an excuse, that's just the reality
of what happened. That's the truth.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Okay, what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Okay, okay, you're not very good at podcasting. You're supposed
to go back and forth.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I've been talking this whole time.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
So when it comes to the show, who's your favorite
on the show? Out of John J. Rich Kyle.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I mean, I wouldn't say your favorite, but I think
I have the best relationship with Rich.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yeah, because we've gone on a couple of dates.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah. He you know, he invited us over to his
house a couple of times for events or just to
hang out. And he took us to dinner a couple
of times, and you know, he tried to get to
know me, and you know, I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
How did you feel about like when we all went
to drink together.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I don't really remember you were lit, well I do.
I do remember a little bit. I know I was
in everybody's face.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
You were not in everyone's face.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I know I was in John J's face. I was
recording a video of me and John Jay.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I mean, I was a grand old time. If you
weren't in his face, you were just taking a little video.
I don't Rich was there for a little bit, but
I don't know if you had really saw.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Him yet Kyle was she. I think Kyle left early
and then Dutch Dutch was there too.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah, I don't know if Dutch came up to the
sweet he.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Did come up because I was recording with him too.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I think that that was really fun for like the
rest of the crew to kind of see a little
bit of the walls taken down from him.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I mean that was kind of a little bit overboard
for me. That was nobody won't see that again. But
it was a good time.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, it was a good time. And I know we
had talked about too, like bringing up you said you
wanted to address the podcast because I mistakenly told you
that Kyle's husband, Scott was like.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah, yeah, so for anybody that plays Madden or any
e A Sports game and you know that e A
Sports guy, thats a e A Sports was in the game.
Peyton told me that that was Kyle's husband, Scott. And
I've been I've been playing Madden and playing e A
(25:59):
Sports games since I was could remember. And I remember
one time Peyton had like a birthday party or something.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
It was my promotion party, got promoted to.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Be on the app, some type of party at our
house and everybody came over, and they came over, and
you know, I had a couple couple of drinks and
I see Kyle and Scott over there. So I walk
over there and I'm like, oh my god, you're you're
the EA Sports guy. And then they're kind of like
looking at me, like they're not saying that he's not
the EA Sports guy, but they're just kind of looking
(26:30):
at me, like, and I just keep going on and
on about it. And then after that, I think it
was a couple of days after where Peyton had found
out that he wasn't that guy, and I was just
so embarrassed. And then and the next every time I
see Kyle and Scott, I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I'm sorry for that's but first of all, and I
feel like that's on me because I was I didn't know,
like I just knew. I thought I had posted as
he's a voiceover guy like that, like the sports I
like he does stuff like that, like he's literally doing
the Jonas Brothers tour.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Right, you said he was the EA Sports guy. You
said that. If you didn't say that.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
I would never even No, I understand it. I'm sorry, babe,
because I was not.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
You should be sorry about that because that was embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I know, I hear you.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
I'm still embarrassed to this day.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Well, you shouldn't be embarrassed, Like.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I can't show my face around Klin. Why, yes, you
can embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Don't be embarrassed. Stop right now.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And you know every time that I see them, I'm like, I'm.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Sorry, I know who cares like And plus you had
a little bit to drink. Anyway, that's partially your fault.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
No, it's not, because if I didn't have anything to drink,
I would have done that.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I hear you. Sorry, baby, But anyways, I feel like
this was fun. I feel like I enjoyed being able
to like be intentional with like taking the time to
actually sit and just talk about some stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, I think if we're gonna do this again, I
think we need some for the listeners out there. I
think we need some juicier questions.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I agree, like we just need to come. I think
I should come a little bit more prepared. Ya just
write down my questions or write down the topics because
I definitely didn't, or.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Like you come up with some stuff to talk about too,
because you know, I'm doing this for you know this? Yeah,
this ain't for me.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
So what do you think about when people say that
you're shy?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I mean, I don't think nothing about it.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
You don't think you're shy?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I know I'm not. I think people get getting mixed up,
like shy and quiet are two totally different things. Like
I can have a conversation with somebody and I'm not,
Like I don't get nervous like talking to people like
I'm not. I think that's shy. Like I'm just like
a lot of time I don't have something to say
or like there ain't nothing to say unless somebody say
(28:40):
something to me or start a conversation. But that's not
always how it is. Sometimes I do start a conversation.
Sometimes I have something to say.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
So I think it just depends on, you know, the
vibe and who are.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Around, like right now, Like right now on the podcast,
I don't have nothing to say, but but if something
said to me, I'm gonna address it.

to come back in here and been like you said no,

would have been a whole thing.
Speaker 1 (29:14):

down to do it because you knew I needed to
