Speaker 1 (00:00):
A little late, but better than not at all.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Right, that's what I'm saying, baby listen. We put an
extra work the last couple of weeks having guests on.
Actually we did it. Honestly, it was probably easy.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
It was easier.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Literally, you guys came up with the questions for them,
we asked him, and now we're going to act like
it was very hard.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Work.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Was a little work coordinating with our significant others to
come into the studio look forward with us.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
But welcome to that. I'm still fun podcasts.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Yes, thanks for being here. I will say that Andrew
was kind of bummed that you didn't ask one of
the questions that was asked.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
What was it?

Speaker 2 (00:32):
It was, how do you feel about Jenny talking about
your sex life on air or on the podcast?

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Well, the reason I didn't ask that because I had
already asked a version of.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
That, I know, but he was he wanted that specific question, like, okay,
specific because he said that he wanted to be able
to answer and say that people should talk more about
sex because he's a feminist, he's pro female orgasm. Okay,
So he wanted to make sure that that answer got
in there, and that's how he feels about it.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Okay, that's that's all he had to say. I'm klably
clear that up.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
We did get an email, which was surprising to me
about our guest and they said, longtime listener, love you both.
I love the episodes with Jake and Andrew. I was wondering,
has any other from like Katie w B has any
other people wanted to be guest stars. They said, I
know if you have in past podcast they were thinking

(01:24):
morning show people cult Max. Have you know about having
them come on at some point looking forward to the
next podcast, I do think we talked about having Cult on.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Maybe we'll do him. I did want to.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Take a week off from guests and maybe see if
Cole wants to do it, like next week or the
week after. I because someone else had messaged you saying
we should have coult On. Yeah they did, and when
I showed him, he was like totally down for it.
And I did have Cult on my Heartbroken podcast a
long time ago. He has a great story, but I
think he'd be fun. He's can I just tell you so?

(02:00):
Cole does not like talking about sexual stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Okay, so he.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
And I have been working on and I don't mind
sharing it here because we're like launching it tomorrow basically
YouTube like videos, right, and we're kind of trying to
find our flow because it's kind of like a podcast
is different than doing a morning show. A podcast is
different than do our afternoon show. So we came in
here and I think I was like, I'm so used

(02:27):
to doing a podcast with you and we can be
really sexual. It felt so unnatural. The first episode we
did was fine. The second one I worked in a
couple of things and he does not feel comfortable with that.
And so at the end of the episode, I'm like,
everything felt off about that. That is not us and

(02:47):
I'm like, what, we're deleting that? So he'sa A yeah,
and deleting it, scrapping it. That's not our that's not
our thing. And that's fine. But it's funny how I
feel so comfortable with you. But it's not because Colton
makes me uncomfortable. I think that he just is someone.
He he said before, like which this is probably sharing

(03:08):
too much of his personal information, Like he won't watch
like adult videos, oh since like having kids and stuff.
He just said he can't. He's not someone who can compartmentalize.
He like feels like those women don't want to be
there and like it makes him uncomfortable, and so that's
his least favorite ord is the P word.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Really, he hates it.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Interesting.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
I feel like, Okay, I'm trying to think back, which
was so long ago now as to like when I
joined the show, I feel like I've always been very
sex positive.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, and that was and.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
You know, I joined the show during my party girl era,
so like my life was sex like, yeah, it was
very much. So I feel like I've always been decently open. However,
with you, it was always easy. With Steve, it was
funny because Steve's just fucking naive.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
And weird and whatever naive.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
But with Dave, it took me a long time to
feel comfortable sharing certain things with Dave and vice versa
with him, Like, and I think there's still plenty of
things on him and I don't share it too with
each other.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
You're right, But I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
I think like if he's if he just doesn't like
talking about it, then that's like the end of it.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
But maybe it's I think.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
The future he'll feel more comfortable to me.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
But I think I think it's okay, Yeah, I think
so many things are sexual, and like, it's not that
we can't make jokes about like how long it's been
since our mom's gotten any or I'm sure we could
make jokes here and there, but it wouldn't be a
top Like it wouldn't be a direct topic like some

(04:37):
of us and I don't think it ever will be.
And I'm okay with that. It's like whatever.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Well, and of course I also feel like, I mean,
I was just saying when I started on the show,
it was like lots of those kind of stories, and
my life is so different now. Yeah, you know, like
sex happens once every six months, so it's like, you know,
I can't.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Andrew would die if that's how it was.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
But no, no, but I do think that like as
I've gotten older too, I also have chilled out a
ton on sharing so many of the stories.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
We I agree there were like I remember early on
in radio I shared like the sound my partner made orgasming,
and even briefly after that it started making me like
a little cringey uncomfortable, to the point where I went
into the system and deleted it so that Steve or
Dave could never find it again to ever play it.

(05:28):
Again because I was like, h and I'll have those
moments I've actually thought about before the Morning Show YouTube. Yeah,
and I've like had to like kind of in my
mind think about, oh my gosh, is there anything on
there I should delete? Because twelve years ago, thirteen years ago,

(05:50):
very different time. And like when you first come on
to a new show, you're willing to do just about
anything because you want to like please people. You'll go
down paths of storylines or share stories that as you
go on you're like, Eh, maybe I don't want to.
And so I was like, oh God, are there any
of those on there? I should look into that and

(06:10):
delete them.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
If there are.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
I feel like the stuff you did on YouTube, but
I granted I wasn't a part of the show till
like a handful of years in when you were on it,
but I feel like they were all just over exaggerated
dramatic things like you on your period.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Those are my favorite.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Every twenty eight Days are just my favorite series we did.
A lot of them were just when I had gone
back to look at all they were stupid parody bits
or pranks or not pranks, like like a payoff for
losing a bet and you had to do something dangerous
or disgusting.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
It wasn't.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yeah, it wasn't something I'm like, oh, I'll get canceled
over that necessarily. Who knows, maybe there's one that exists somewhere,
though I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
I think the only thing I can really think of
because I just I don't know. I just feel like
I've never done too many things that would be super
out there. But we did roast Dave one year, or
like the Thanksgiving roast of Dave or something. It was
intern John was back in town and we all did
a roast of him. And the only thing I can
think of is I did make a Trump joke because
it was twenty sixteen. I think it was like an

(07:11):
election year and I made a Trump joke and something
with like a wall, yeah, And I don't remember exactly
what it is, but like that, it wasn't offensive one
way or another. It was just like kind of making
a joke of the situation whatever it was at the time.
But I would never ever make a joke about like
a president or anything like that anymore. Like I know,

(07:33):
you just don't.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
There's no room for any form of joke because you.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Will be attacked no matter what you say. Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Going back just very quickly to the email, I was
actually surprised that she sent in saying she wanted more guests,
because not that Andrew and Jake didn't do a great job,
but typically, well, I think since it's our partners, I
if I listen to other people's podcasts, I usually don't
like when they have guests on, except I haven't actually

(08:03):
enjoyed when their partners have been on, so I can
see where that would be fun. And someone else was like, oh,
you guys, because Steve was on the morning show this
past week. Yeah, someone was like, you should have Steve
back in again. I'm like, maybe you never know.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, oh Steve.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
That man came in on Friday morning, just sweaty, but
I also was sweaty because I was running around doing
a million things that morning. But I gave him the
biggest hug. And then of course I texted Fallon a
picture of him and your response because he was using
Fallon's headphone exact how perfect to not even know but
know he was probably sweating.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
I was like, oh, you want that sweaty ass where
my headphones? Disgusting, And then.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
He goes, I'm gonna need to use your computer, and
I was like, what do you mean like, and I'm
thinking like back in the day, Steve would just like
had this blackmail thing about him, absolutely, like where he
claimed he had like a folder on all of us,
and I still think he does, Yeah, he probably does.
And I'm like, what do you mean you need to
use my computer? I got a call with like someone
in Sweden at nine and I forgot my computer because
I was takings Olivia here. And then I, you know,

(09:01):
Christy asked me if you and the next thing I know,
I forgot my bag in my computer and I go,
that's all that I know, And so I wanted me
to use my computer. But the entire time I was
thinking that he was fucking around with stuff on my computer.
Probably literally was I'm like waiting to find something somewhere
in my folders that's like, hey, you bitch, you know,
like something like that.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
I'm surprised I didn't get an email from you just
calling me a C word or something. I'm like, what
the hell, Jenny, I'm like on the company email. We
do have a couple of other emails, but maybe this
one's kind of more so for me. Uh, this one says, Hey, ladies,
you asked what you should call your question section of

(09:41):
the podcast. I think you should name it. I'm still wondering. Okay,
it's like it would fit. But they do have a
question for you, Jenny. As a wanderer traveler by nature,
do you get claustrophobic in the city. I am also
a wanderer, but I live in the country. But I imagine
I would get very claustrophobic being in such crowd areas
when nature is my true happy place. Always wondering, Anna, No, I.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Love the city, but I also don't. Like I'm trying
to think of what she's saying. So, say you're walking
around in Chicago, and.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Because there'd be so many people around you, and like
the buildings still close into you, you don't have like
a field of trees or anything to go into.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yeah. No, I don't feel that way. If there's a
lot of people around me anywhere, I don't love that
because then that makes me feel like I'm in a
tourist trap. So I avoid situations like that quite often.
But I love the feeling of like just walking around
a big city. At Morning Show boot Camp when we
won a couple of years ago. I got up one
morning and went for a run and just like explored
around the area and I just love everything.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
I mean, she masturbated on the bean.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
I would have, but there were people that are being
and also on the bean. It's really hard to like
get onto the bean, yeah, like get close to it,
but you could.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Rub yourself against it. I wouldn't suggest it.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
That's how you probably get like some kind of uti
staph infection.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Is that thank that?

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Maybe I don't know staph infection, but I wonder if
anyone's ever done that, like as.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Like, oh, this would be so funny to.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Grind on the bean, yeah, or just masturbate by it. Oh,
you know that someone definitely jerked around it. Well, I'm
saying like I would be more surprised if a woman
has rubbed it out, though harder to hide that. No,
it's not harder to hide it. It's just I feel like.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
It's more of a longer a guy who's on drugs
kind of vibe.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, probably, But no, I didn't do that. I actually
just explored the city and I liked it, and so yeah,
I don't feel quite Did.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
You masturbate in the bed next to me? When I
was I would never do any I think there can
you imagine?

Speaker 2 (11:38):
I think the only time I've done that where I
probably shouldn't have was in my childhood bed when like
I was home visiting sometime.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
You know.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
But it was weird because it's like I didn't do
that growing up when I lived at home, and so
like to do it when I was like visiting home,
it just fell fucking weird. Yeah, and you know, my
mom's like in a room like down the hall whatever.
So I think that's the only time I feel like
I've done something like that where I'm.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Like, yeah, I could have. I could have probably skipped today. Maybe.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
I asked Jake if he has ever masturbated in bed
next to me while I've been sleeping. He's like no,
And then I was like thinking I wouldn't only because
I would be afraid he would wake up and he
wouldn't be judgmental. But I still think I would be embarrassed.
And some people would be like, oh, if you're horny,
why wouldn't you just wake him up?

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Because sometimes I don't need a full sash.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, but yes, have you ever masturbated next to Andrew
while he's been sleeping.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Nope, I've never done that. I thought that I had
woke up one morning and he was doing it, and
so I was kind of just like letting him do
his thing, because honestly, I didn't want to get involved.
I felt like if I would have acknowledged that I
was awake, he would have been like, come on in,
and I'd have been like, no, you can shut that door.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's all you, baby.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
But I asked him.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Later and he's like, no, I was not, like, I
don't know what you were and I was like, I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
It felt like there was like movements in the ocean
been under.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
The blanket, and he's like, no, glad we could clear
that up. Did you guys have sex over Valentine's Day
in the camper van?

Speaker 2 (13:08):
We did, and I think it's why I'm sore now
because we don't have a high roof band, so it's
very it's the low roof. You're already like bending over
to stand up in it period, but then standing no,
but then to add in the sex aspect of it.
You know, I was getting a little frisky on top,
whipped my head up and just banged it up against
the ceiling.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
I was like, God.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Damn, and what a way to throw off the motion
in the ocean. You know what I'm saying, Baby, I
had a groove. We were in sync and I was
like bam, and like I don't know how you and
Jake are when something weird happens are inside.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
We are immature and knowledge We just like you.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Don't just like sit there and like continue on. It's like, man,
that must have heard. I was like, yeah, it did,
you know? And then we'd get back into it. But yeah, no,
that was that was the fun shenanigans in the van. Honestly,
a lot of times we don't have a lot of
sex in the van because it's just not the most
convenient situation. It's got to know the aftermath and all

(14:08):
that stuff. What about you, you guys get down dirty on
V Day?

Speaker 1 (14:11):
We did actually on V Day? Yeah, nice. Look. I
looked at him. I was like, do you want to
do it on the couch or do you want to
do it in the bed? And he tried the couch.
So we did that.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
We watched all of Love Is Blind this weekend, all
six episodes.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
We binged it.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
We stayed up late on Saturday night because it was like,
I was like, I want to finish it. I do
think six episodes in the pods is not necessary.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah, what did it used to be?

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Was it less? I feel like it's been. I think
it was.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
I think it was because I was on Reddit this morning,
and I think some people were saying that they expanded
it because they wanted us to get to know the
relationships better before we saw the And then they're like,
but we didn't get to know the relationships better. They
they didn't produce it in a way to get to
know the relationships better. They just like featured more people.
I don't really know. But regardless, I.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Thought a lot of interesting stuff too, because they said
they had more people than ever, but it seemed like
they focused on less couples than ever. Yep, And I
did think it was really weird, and I'm like, maybe
they were just couples they weren't shown. I thought it
was bizarre. They didn't feature like a single munk person.

(15:17):
I didn't there was barely any diversity, which people already
think that about Minnesota and so and then a lot
of the guys do have a similar look vibe when
you like, when you lay them all out next to
each other, and so I was a little disappointed in
that aspect, because I like people already look at Minneapolis
in a certain way. You couldn't find any other diversity

(15:40):
to put in there. We have a large Somali population
as well, so I don't know, I thought it was.
But also maybe they didn't apply or maybe a lot
of the time. I learned this from season one. There
are couples that get engaged and get married and go
the full way, but they're not like apparently featured featured
ors like is interesting enough. The guy who owns a
like Trubadour wine bar, I keep seeing him post about it.

(16:01):
I've only seen him in the background of one clip,
which and I think I look like he got engaged.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Maybe I think I have heard that before too, But
I also have heard like the horror stories of some
couples did get featured, but then like, oh something bad,
but bad things have happened and so they were like
completely cut out once the editing actually took place and stuff.
So gotcha. Yes, I've heard multiple different kinds of stories,

(16:28):
and I do have connections with like a couple people
that were on the cast this year or this season,
So I feel like I want to reach out once
everything's said and done. I just they're under such strict NDAs.
And I know you probably know this since you had
Ben on the show right last week, But it's like,
I want to be so respectful of not getting them
in trouble, but it's like I want to ask so

(16:48):
many questions too.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Oh yeah, well, you know what's one question I did
not think to ask that. Someone did ask Ben if
they get to wear whatever they want, and he said, no,
you have to lay out your outfits and they'll tell
you which ones you can and care were Obviously, if
it has logo on it, you can't work kind of thing.
I thought that was interesting. I'd ever thought about that.

(17:11):
But do you have any predictions or anything yet?

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Well, it just sucks because I'm on the side of
TikTok that has some spoilers and some thoughts and some
rumors and whatever. So the only thing I'll say is
that I am rooting for like some of the couples
more than the others. But I feel like the only
one I have faith with at this point is Joey
and Monica maybe being the ones that make it dull?

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Are they the first ones that got engaged.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, Joey has got the long hair and then Monica's
like a little bit taller, dark hair, and they seem
like very sweet Minnesota, nice human beings. Joey's thick ass
Minnesota as it is the wild.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
I thought it was interesting they like didn't kiss. I
didn't think when they saw each other and stuff, I
think they were the only couple that didn't. They seemed
almost like sister or rather laughing, playful. So for a moment,
I was like, you know what, that not everyone is
comfortable immediately doing that, because and I had to remind
myself of that, because I was like, I couldn't tell,
like was she not into him right for a moment,

(18:15):
because why wouldn't they kiss? But I do You're right,
they seem like the most wholesome couple.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Andrew pointed out that we've never obviously been in this
position before, and so we're just judging how we think
that we would react, But we really have no idea
how we would react if we went on a show,
got engaged and all of a sudden, you're just like
forced to have this physical connection within seconds. You don't
necessarily know how you're going to react. And some people
might just like not feel in that moment that it's

(18:45):
appropriate almost and some people aren't physically attracted to them.
That is what happens a lot of times. But we
were kind of like, oh, we're being so judging of
all these people who clearly don't have a connection. But like, also,
how can you imagine talking to someone for a week
or or whatever it is and then all of a
sudden you're supposed to just like want to bone them
within seconds.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
Well, so that is one thing I I did ask.
I was like, how long are you actually talking to him?
And he Ben said he it's like around twenty eight hours, okay,
which I was like, if you break that down and
you're doing two to three hour dates at a time
with someone, twenty eight hours, I mean that gives you
a lot of time to actually, yeah, I get to
know them.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
And I also think that you have to keep that
in mind when you start making judgments of all these people,
because we're getting like the best juiciest dramatic clips that
they can find a lot of times, and like some
characteristic building clips. So I feel like, you know, there's
certain people that I don't really think I like that
much on this season that were featured a lot. But
then I think about it, and it's like, somebody could

(19:47):
take stuff I say on our show or on this
podcast and clip it down to you know, ministerial things,
and I would sound like an awful person too.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
I was disappointed in the guy who opened up about
hurting his back and taking the medication and abusing medication
and crying, and the woman was crying and so receptive,
and then she was like, I think, was like, oh,
we're in like this vulnerable sharing moment, and when she

(20:16):
shared hers, I get you can't predict how your reaction
is going to be to things, but I do think
in a moment like that, even if you're like I
don't necessarily see myself with this person, to see how
receptive and kind and loving she was to his stuff,
to not show her the same courtesy even if he
was faking.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
It, Yep, I agree.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
I was really disappointed in that, and they weren't a match,
and that's fine, they knew it, But I think the
producers specifically showed him sharing the full story two times,
purposely because you don't typically sit through and let people

(20:59):
see someone share the same story fully through two times
I feel like, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
They know. I mean, there's an agenda of course with
like everything that you're seeing, because it's going to play
into whatever we see the rest of the season. But
I do agree, I don't know. I feel like certain
people have connections. I think certain people are on the
show because of the fame of it, and oh yeah,
oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
I would say it's fifty.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
I would say even higher for the people that are
on it for the fame, but I don't know. In
the end, the funniest thing that came out of the
entire first drop of episodes was when Virginia right that
I think that's her name, met Devin, the two that
end up being together with the ibuprofen story, Oh okay,
and then the other girl when they met and Virginia's

(21:48):
only compliment to him was you have nice eyes, and
he said I don't normally get that, and she goes, well,
the shape of them, and it's like, you don't find
this man attractive whatsoever. If the only compliment you can
muster up is I like the shape.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Of your eyes.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Why we like, gosh, it's it's a brutal, it's so weird.
How we want to see their meeting, but at the
same time, it's so cringe you want to turn it off.
Sometimes it's all I hate it so much, but yeah,
I want to see it because everyone's you can see people.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
It's impossible for them to hide how they feel. I
know it's impossible.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Think about opening a shitty present you got from like
your mom. It's impossible, and you're like, what is this crap?
Imagine having to do that on TV. I'm someone you
love and you're like, uh no, you know, I don't know,
but I mean I am very hyped. And Andrew got
into it this season and now he wants to go
back and watch all the other seasons because he like,
hasn't watched a lot of them, and I only watched

(22:45):
I haven't watched every single one either, but I've watched
the last couple. There are one or two others that
have been boring, but the rest have been pretty good.
A lot of people are saying this is boring, and
I'm like, I think it's because they're spending so much
time on the fucking pods. Everyone knows it gets way
better when the alcohol gets in. They see the people
they passed up their scandal, like are you talking to her.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
That's when it gets good.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Like sorry, the whole I've said it before, the wholesome
couples that are just like actually happy.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
I FA's forward through their chunks because it's not entertaining.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
I want to it's it's messed up, but I want
to see the drama.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
You do want to see the drama. I just get
really sad, and I don't know if this has ever happened,
because I don't think it has, but I haven't watched
all the seasons. I just really hope that at least
one couple gets married, because then I just usually at
least one, I was going to say, I feel like
it always has been at least one. But there was
one season, I think two or three ago, where only
one of the couples got married, and I think only
three made it to that point, and I was like, oh,

(23:38):
it was a rough one. Yeah, that was like a
really rough season. I feel like, but I'm curious to
see what will come of all of the people on
the show. Who's going to become like the next influencer,
who was going to gain a following. I've creeped on
a lot of the people who were like featured a
lot on this season so far, and you know, some
of them have a little bit of a following already.
But what was interesting to me was the girls who

(24:00):
have like a higher following. They don't seem to be
like the Instagram people, Like they have hot pictures of themselves,
but they don't post a lot. Yeah, Like so I
thought that was interesting where it's like they're not really
like super big on social media.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
It doesn't seem.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
I've never followed a single person from the show Love
Is Blind ever, I don't think.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
I have either. I follow some Bachelor and Bachelorette people.
I do do that, but that's probably about it for
reality TV.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
The only.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Bachelor Bachelorette person I follow isn't from that. I follow
Becca Tilly, yeah, and it's I've never seen her on that.
I follow her because she does a podcast that I like,
and I discover the podcast because of her co host, Tanya,
because she's Ryan Seacrest's co host. Yep. And I think
I just have more interest in like radio people of course,

(24:51):
but and there's like a higher profile one because she
has Becca and stuff, so they'll when they talk about
bachelor bachelorette people, which isn't that often, but they'll have
them on his guests sometimes. I never let I do
not care. I don't listen at all. It's like such
a tune out for me.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
It's funny though, because I bet you I have the
audience listens because of so that they are probably like Bachelor, Bachelorette. Absolutely,
but yeah, I would imagine it would be the same
for me if like somebody had a real housewife on
their podcast, I'd be like, nah, I don't care.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
No, I know.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
This week we have on Thursday, we have Carolyn from
The Traders, and I think she was on like another
reality show because usually anyone that's well, she had to
have been, yeah, anyone who comes to Traders. They were
on a previous reality show. But she's from Minnesota and
people are very excited that she's going to be on
and I'm new to her. But I did start watching

(25:45):
The Traders this season. Doing the TV show man, you have,
like they talk about TV so much. I've really had
to up my game with watching stuff so I'm not
just sitting there like uh huh eh, I don't know
who that is, you know, Like I'm like, oh my god,
I'm watching so much more TV.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
That's how I kind of feel lately too, because I
had interviewed Craig Conover on Bravo yep, And actually I'd
been kind of waiting to give some of these details
that maybe will be interesting to anyone listening, because I
know a lot of people watch Bravo stuff. But one
thing that I learned in my interview, because Craig kind
of just like talks off the cuff, like with I
know it was probably a little different with the TV
because you guys had him on the Jason Show too, right, Yeah,

(26:23):
But with this interview was just in front of a
crowd of like one hundred people at the home and
remodeling show, and he kind of just rambled about things.
And one thing he brought up is he can't watch
reality TV because he knows how it works, so he
knows how it's produced, he knows how it's done, and
so he specifically said that At one point, him and
Shep who's one of the main people who's been on
that show, Southern Charm, they were like out hunting or

(26:44):
something and production was like, you need to ask him
this question, and it was like about his feelings or something,
and like their dues and they don't ask questions like that.
So he goes, all right, SHEP you ready to work?
And SHEP goes yep, and he goes, so have you
ever been in love before? And then SHEP just like
went off and actually like open up. But that was
interesting to hear that they kind of set them up. Yeah,
they don't necessarily tell both of them, but then like

(27:06):
Craig to give them the heads up, like, hey, I'm
asking you this because production asked me to ask you, like, hey,
are you ready to work? I thought that that was interesting.
And you know that a lot of the stuff on
real TV has to be set up because they're not
being filmed twenty four hours a day exactly, so they
have to be like, hey, you guys need to have
this conversation because we're filming for the next hour, you know.

(27:26):
So I thought that was a fun little insight into reality. Yeah,
the reality TV world.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
He was saying, they do. There's a lot different like
behind the scenes. He was saying that they do. There's
a lot different than a lot of reality shows how
they set things up. And I don't know how a
lot of them run. So I didn't know what he
meant by that, but also, yeah, I don't do I
just don't do a ton of reality.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
I still watch the Kardashians.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
I just started watching their new season last night on Hulu,
And yeah, but I don't do a ton of reality.
Although everyone says, if you're going to do a Housewives,
you should do the Salt Lake City one, and they're
only like four seasons, so part of me has thought
about going and watching that.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
There is just so much too much there. There's so
much because I was like, oh, I don't really watch
any Bravo shows, but below decks Bravo, I think, right,
I don't know how to watch that. See I get
cooked on that on airplanes? That was like the first
time I ever watched it, and so anytime I go
on an airplane, that's what I'll watch. But it's like
the only time I watch it is if.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
I'm on an airplane.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
I don't know. But have I missed anything in your
life lately? By the way, I don't know what we're
at with time.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
But we're almost of the time. I can share one thing
because I do like I I haven't really told me.
I just did it yesterday, but I went in I
had to do I think I talked about had my
first mammogram and then they found something on like my
left breast, which they said was pretty normal to get
like a callback because you have to do your baseline.

(28:49):
They don't know what your boobs look like and your
tissue and all this.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
So I got a call back.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
I had to go back yesterday and they were like,
we're going to do another set of photos and then
we'll do an ultrasound. And so when I went in
for the photos, she was like, just so you know,
this is not abnormal.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
I was like, okay, yeah, they told me that.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
And she's like, we're gonna do photos and then i'll
show the radiologist and if she, you know, thinks it's
all fine, you can go home. If not, then we'll
do like an ultrasound. I was like, okay, which I
was already signed up for the ultrasound, but I guess
that's you know, might as well have it signed you know,
signed up for that appointment or whatever.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
So I did the photos.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
I have to go to the waiting room and then
the ultrasound tech comes to get me. And I hadn't
been nervous about it at all. I wasn't I wasn't stressed.
I didn't stay up. But then when they were like, okay,
let's go to the ultrasound now, then I started getting
like a little bit like oh, they just said if
they didn't see anything, then they wouldn't need to do this.
So they brought me back and did an ultrasound, and

(29:43):
then she was like okay, I'm gonna go get the
radiologists to come in, and so you know, I'm like
looking at the screen and I definitely see something on
the screen.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
So I'm like, well, what the hell is it? And
she came in and she looked at it.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
She was very quick and she's like, okay, it's a
benign cyst. So I do have a benign cyst. And
there like we don't do anything with it. It just stays
or whatever. So it was like very quick. I thought
it was great that they can just tell you quickly
like that. Yeah, but I am happy that I went
in out. She's like, you know, come back in a
year and we'll do it again. So it's just important
to do it as just another reminder to set up

(30:17):
the mammogram. I think they say it's not covered by
insurance if you're under forty I don't want to speak
on everyone's insurance.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
I don't know what yours is, but.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
I think I don't know because I had to have
stuff like that done when I was twenty three years old,
and I'm pretty sure I had some insurance help with it.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
Yeah, maybe it's somewhat covered, but a lot of people
were saying I wanted to get this done proactively in
my insurance, So I'm sure it's based on your insurance. Yeah,
but I I thought, God, why wouldn't they cover that, Like,
why wouldn't they let because women are getting breast cancer
younger and younger, So I thought it was bizarre. And

(30:57):
then someone else got frustrated because they said, when you
get the call back a lot of the time, insurance
won't cover the other things. So I called with my
insurance and I called like their financial thing, and they
were like, it should cover it. If not, it'll be
this percentage. And someone messaged me that works for like insurance,
and they were annoyed with this narrative that it never
covers the follow ups, and I'm like, she's like, that's

(31:17):
some insurance. I'm like right, But people were messaging me
to make me aware that it's not necessarily covered, which
is also crazy. The handful of insurance that doesn't cover
a necessary follow up to see if you have breast cancer.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
What the fuck?

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Okay, I don't want to make this about me, but
I went through this last week because not with breast
but if you remember, I had I have swollen lymph
notes in my neck and I had the ultrasound done
last December, this past December, and then I had to
go in and do a biopsy and it was like
a whole surgical thing, like I was in a surgical room.
They had to put some numbing shit in my neck.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Whatever.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, I got the bill last week and it was
not a single dime was covered of it.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
I had called before.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
I had done the ultrasound appointment, which my doctor said,
I'll set you up with someone in network. So I
called the head of the ultrasound appointment saying, hey, I
want to make sure that this is covered. They're like, yeah,
but you're not at your deductible, so you will be
paying for some of it whatever. And I understood that
that's how the deductible works.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
So then comes back, the ultrasound comes back that I
should get a biopsy done and so my doctor sets
me up, same hospital, same area of the hospital, everything
that I just went to for the ultrasound, get that bill,
and then a single dollar was covered. So I had
a full mental breakdown when I opened that letter because
I am so exhausted of calling.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
And very much of this.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
And I do not know if this is illegal or not,
but when I call, I record on my computer every
single thing someone says. Now for the last couple of years,
I will turn on the mic on my word doc
and I will record what they're saying so I can
verify this is exactly what they said to me. This
is like this should be cover And so I had
a whole mental breakdown, called my insurance the next day.

(33:05):
It actually ended up being a mistake on the hospital's
behalf because they had to get prior authorization for that
surgery and they didn't and so then the insurance didn't
cover it because of something that they didn't do.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
Right.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Okay, so now it's a process and I'm hoping that
it'll all get cleared up, but they said it's going
to take a couple months now. But yes, to your point,
it is just important to check even if there's a
narrative out there that certain things are covered or not covered.
I just feel like, just check no matter what, if
you're doing anything big, just get it checked, because it

(33:36):
is it's heartbreaking to get that bill and see that
you owe a ton of money out and not know
what you're gonna do.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah, it's just crazy.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
I've watched it go through this multiple times between like
wrist surgeries, when you were getting on your meditation was covered, right,
They're going through.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Like mental self. I was told I was covered and
it wasn't. And I've been fighting with them for like
seven months now about that and I keep getting the
same answer.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
So there's that. But yeah, and one time it was
my fuck up.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
I didn't realize that I had changed insurances from the
previous year and I kept going to the same doctor.
But it was also happened to be the same year
I had to get my birth control and plan out
and a new horman and I did all this extra
stuff because I knew I met my deductible because I
had my rest surgery, and then none of that was covered.
So that one was my fault. But I learned my
lesson and I've done it right ever since then. And yeah,

(34:27):
I just keep feeling like I get bid in the ass.
And I know there's a lot of people out there
because anytime, like when you've gotten your messages, when you
post about health insurance anything, so many messages come in.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
So many it's exhausting, it is. But I'm happy you're good,
and yeah, me to good and thank you.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Go get checked and make sure you're looking up for
your boobies exactly important.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
They are all right. Thanks for listening, Have a great week.
