This is the most dramatic podcast ever and iHeartRadio podcast. Chris Harrison and Lauren Zema coming to you from the home office in Austin, Texas together again and it feels so good. And the best part is we haven't done this in a while. This episode is devoted to you
getting questions from you. We put out little feelers last week about getting some questions from you, the listener, and we haven't done this in a while, and it's always it always ends up being one of our favorite episodes because we end up in places we never thought we were going to go. You have fielded these questions, correct.
I've done a little narrowing down and we're kind of separating them into like work and personal, Like.
Okay, some sometimes our work is personal.
You know what is it ever? Not real quick? I hate that phrase. It's just it's not personal. If you everything to me about work is personal. Work is how you feed your family, yourself, it's how you live if you enjoy your job. Work is your creativity, your passion. There's nothing impersonal to work about me.
And like it's just like this weird out that people invented. It's like a line people invented You're right for.
When they're spiring or someone or something.
It's not personal, man, it's just business. It's like you can say, I know this is personal for you, but it was a business decision we had to make. That's the new line. Yeah, of course it's personal to you. I just ruined your livelihood, but I don't even know how you're paying your mortgage next month. It's it's not personal.
Okay, thanks, Yeah, so I'm abolishing that phrase.
But I do believe in sometimes the separation of church and state, and in this case, we are separating a business from personal questions real quick. So, like I said, we've narrowed them down. We're going to start with the personal and then we'll get into the business. So I'm just going to dive right in. You know what, but this is relevant. Claudia asked you two do a lot together. How do you know when you need space? And that's true. We'd spend a lot of time together between work and personal.
Let me brag on LZ and this will get to your answer, Claudia of how you know, Lauren. And this happens in relationships, especially in marriage, when you are living together and inseparable and your lives are intertwined. I have been weighing down the scales of this relationship pretty heavy lately, meaning the Harrison side of the family has been pretty needy.
There was a death in the family, there was a medical emergency on top of that death, there was a wedding, There was back to this medical emergency that needed to be dealt with. It did, thank God. There was just several things work, stuff that had to do predominantly with me or my family, and LZ was there every step of the way. God bless her. It's one of the reasons I love her. She's so caring and just stood by me through thick and thin. I leaned on her.
And it was not equal. You know how they say, you know a marriage should be equal. It's not all the time. Maybe at the end of the day, when we total this up, it will be. But right now, twenty twenty four has not been fair. It has not been equal. But I also saw that Lauren was getting to the end of her rope and that she needed a mental health break from my family and me, and not in a bad way. She just needed to recharge
the batteries, and so we both felt it. We actually discussed it, and you had a little getaway, and so I think it's just something you feel. But also I just wanted to say thank you, because my god, you've been amazing so far this year.
Well thanks Sonny.
I mean, your family is my family, and I know that you love my family, and if the situations were reversed, you would have been doing all the same stuff. But yeah, you know, I think there was just a lot going on, and I said, I need like three days with my family, with my mom and my sister where I can totally be myself, where I can just completely and fully relax as you kind of only can around the people who
know you the best. And you also like took those through or three days I was gone and we're kind of by yourself, like played golf, so we needed a little recharge.
Went to a movie alone. Yeah I did. I did. Yeah, I just took some me time.
And you know what we kind of do that day and day out.
Really, I mean sometimes I'll say I'm going to go, you know, go to home Goods for a little while and just have some time alone, or I'm going to go, you know, you go play golf. And I think we're just really communicative about like and also okay with the fact that we spend a lot of time together and I'm never offended if you.
Go have a little time away from me and vice versa.
So hopefully that helps I. So the problem is there's no definite moment, Mark. I think it's just something you feel and you both need, and you just need to be respectful of.
It's a good thing.
Yeah, of course, it's a good thing, both to spend time together and to spend time apart. It's all about knowing how much each other needs and talking about it.
I missed the heck out of you, and I couldn't wait to pick you up from the airport.
I know, I like missing you a little bit.
It's interesting because when I look back at our relationship in the beginning, we spent very little time together when we first started dating, like, we were both working a ton, both traveling for work a ton, and then the pandemic changed that really quickly.
It was something that I aspired to and you and I ever never really talked about this. It's something I spent so much time alone. I was lonely, Like I'll say, like when I was shooting The Bachelor Bachelorett and all those shows, I was pretty lonely. Yes, I was with Crewe, I had friends on there. I spent time filling my time, but I wasn't filling my soul and feeding my soul. And I always thought, I'm really going to relish the moment when I find somebody I can spend my life with.
At the time, I think maybe they would travel with me on the show. Obviously I've left the show, but I looked forward to having a relationship where I could really spend some quality time with someone and be there and likewise they would be there with me. I have also not lost that feeling of needing a little alone time. But I was so excited to find someone like you in my life that I could really dive into and they dive into me.
There's this moment that I always think of. And I don't remember who season you were filming, but we hadn't been dating that long, and you were in France, You're in Paris. It was like, I think, right before Notre Dame caught fire.
Oh yes, yeah, I was. I forget I'll think of it when you're right, because I sent a picture of me riding the bike in front of Notre Dame. It was like a month or so before it caught on fire.
So what sticks out to me about that story and why it's always stuck with me, is that you and I had just started dating, and i'd interviewed you for the show, but I didn't really know what your life was while you were filming the show, and you were like, yeah, I miss you. I'm just doing a bike ride alone in Paris right now.
And I thought like, that's really sad. And I'm not like saying your life was sad.
But you know, it looks from the outside you're in Paris and you're working on this really cool job. But you know, even though you had the crew with you, they were filming something then you weren't part of that scene in that moment.
I think it was Ari season because I think we put the girls on the boat on the river. They stayed on the river. Would that be wrong?
I went, we weren't dating during Ari nevermind, So I don't know.
But I remember the dignificance. But yeah, I stayed at the Hotel de Creon, uh there in the square, one of my favorite hotels, and yeah, I was solow.
And it just stuck out to me that what really matters is that you.
Know, you didn't have somebody to share that moment with. So it doesn't matter where you are, what you're doing. You know that that is what's most important in the end. And so even in those times when we are like if we have spent two, you know, a lot of time together something, I'm just always grateful that I wouldn't, you know, I'm just grateful that we have each other to spend time with.
Period. I'd rather get a little sick of you than miss you, you know.
And since then we've done Paris and it was a whole Seriously, it was a whole different experience walking the streets with you and you know, getting a bag at and doing all the silly Parisian awesome things.
Are you making me wonder if I'm remembering that wrong? No, Like, did you just tell me about the story later when we started dating?
You know, it wasn't what we were taking I know it was.
This is why court testimonies are of witnesses are unreliable. Okay, another question from Debbie. Does your age difference ever come into play? I guess she means, is it ever like a factor in our lives?
I haven't felt it, have you, I really? I mean, sometimes, of course they have. Well sometimes in conversations it comes up like things that I lived through and things that I witnessed and enjoyed some she wasn't even alive for, So you know, it comes into play like that. I don't think it's I've never thought of it as affecting our relationship.
Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by the term affecting. I mean, I like, does it ever come into play every single day all the time. You have kids in college that I would only be my kids biologically if I was a young teenage mom. So yeah, like there are age difference comes into play, you know. I'm I came into your kids' lives and they were like older kids. None of my friends my age have kids in college.
That's true.
That's a factor we just felt with like some medical stuff with you know, your family, Like your parents are older than my parents. I mean that's a difference just in the like kind of the discussions that we have and kind of how we support family. Our families are in different life stages, And I would think it comes back the other way too, Like my little sister and my little brother will probably have kids at some point, and then you're going to have really young nieces and nephews.
Yeah, that'll you know what, that'll maybe line up with us becoming grandparents, which will be.
Good nephews, yeah, and grandkids kind of simultaneously.
God have the kids. I don't want to be like a grandmother by forty.
I'm not ready.
So yeah, I think it comes into factor in those ways, but not in a way of like that it's a negative. It's just different and it's something to you know, talk through, but also like it can be a really good thing. I mean, I loved that the kids were older when I met them. I think I've done better with older kids than I like.
I don't know.
I mean, I would have loved your kids if they were younger. But it's been really cool to you know, join in on their college life and all that. And I kind of, you know, I don't know, I guess got to miss out in some of the really tough younger years of driving kids to soccer practice and all that.
I came in for some fun stuff.
Miss the diapers. That's the good part. Miss miss the diapers. Here for the frat parties.
Yeah, I mean, do you think it comes into play.
Probably not as much. Yeah, I don't think about it very often. Sometimes it comes up again in our conversations. But you also put you also have very eclectic old taste music, movies and stuff like that, so it's like it's kind of seamless.
I mean, I think that the age difference is really what it's all about. If you're embarking on a relationship with someone who's not the same age as you, is a maturity difference, because I also know a lot of people who like are older than you and are super immature, people who have never analyzed themselves, who have never like let their life experiences affect them, who are stunted in some ways. Or I know people who are young and
are incredibly mature. I mean, you know, people tell me, I think at a simple level, people tell me I'm an old soul a lot, and I think that you are a very you know I probably the show, probably The Bachelor, in a lot of ways, kept you, like really young and vibrant, like you were always helping twenty something's fine love.
Right, Well it was, I laughed. It was always days to confuse, you know. The McConaughey line of you know, I keep getting older, they stay the same age. It's like the you know, the Bachelor Bacherette people stayed the same age. They were always in their twenties and maybe around thirty and that was about it. And so they I always kind of got that that whatever that generation was, for twenty years, I stayed in that generation.
How old do you feel?
Oh good question in my forties? Do you? Yeah?
I feel in my.
Fifties and it still doesn't bother me. But it baffles me. Yeah, age doesn't bother me at all. But I definitely don't feel and I think of in my fifties that the next big milestone would be sixteen. I'm like, oh, wow, that's not a thing.
Are gonna wow?
I mean someday hopefully, knock on wood. But I definitely feel like I am still. I don't feel like when people go, oh, I feel like I'm in my twenties, as I don't.
And thank god, Yeah, people like I knew a lot of people had an issue with turning thirty.
I never did.
I was like so excited for my thirties and I've loved my thirties so much. I'm thirty six. I feel early thirties, and I think it's because of the pandemic. I feel like the pandemic was this weird time stop that like threw off life and threw off my like where every I thought everything was going to be you know what I mean?
Yeah, totally.
Yeah.
So like you're like in your early forties and I'm in our early thirties, our age gap isn't even that big.
That's right, exactly, Okay.
Barry asks Chris, how would you let Lauren know if you didn't like one of her friends? And she says, and vice versa for Elsie. So she wants to know, how would we tell somebody if we didn't like their friends?
And you know, have we done that?
I would say blunt, but that has that has an interesting connotation to it. When you say blunt, you think it's like a no holds barred I'm just gonna call it like it is, and you know, her feelings be damned. I would be blunt with your feelings very much taken into consideration of you've chosen this person to be in your life. You clearly care about them, they mean something to you, or we wouldn't be having this discussion about them being a friend, But I also think it's important
to share your perspective on that person. So I guess if politely blunt is a phrase, that's how I would be, And that's actually how I have been about someone in your life that was close to you. So you know, I've shared some of my feelings about that person.
And I think I've done the same.
Yeah, and I was, and you have done the same for me. You were, you were bluntly polite as well. You took my you know, you got to take the person's feelings into consideration. If I just like, even if you just jump on me, it's like a teenage kid, right, We're immediately going to get our de up. We're immediately going to defend that person. And you might even go the opposite direction and pull them even closer to you, and you don't want that.
I also think, like, are you coming from a place of worrying about your partner right? That person's effect on them? Like what this means in their lives? I mean, to me, our friends should always make us better, and who someone you're dating surrounds themselves with is like the biggest indicator to me of so many things, Like I you know, I look back at other relationships, and I should have noticed more that those people didn't have a great group
of people around them. And you know, if someone you're dating is hanging out with people who are like behaving in a certain kind of way, let me tell you, they're probably doing the same thing, even if they're not telling you. So I think that's indicative.
Yeah, I don't know if if it's actually true. The you know, you're the sum total of the five closest people in your world. But it's definitely has an impact. It's definitely relative, you know, definitely relates and is important too who you surround yourself with. And I agree there is a difference too of I just don't love this person. They're not great as opposed to I think they're harming you. I think they are bad for you. Yeah, they're bringing
you down. That's I think there's a difference there. You might have to be a little stronger if that was the case.
This is a fun question from another Lauren, did anyone get cut off from the bar at your wedding?
We all did a true story. We all got cut off, like like we were all at the waste Management golf tournament this last weekend. In Phoenix.
We ran out of tequila, the Sambre tequila, which we love. If you haven't tried it, we love Samprey tequila.
Go to Tequila Samprey. It might be hard to find, go online, ask your liquor store for it. It's really good.
And it was so good that we literally ran out.
Yeah, and we had a bunch. I mean we had a bunch. Now, there was a faux pas. I brought kind of an emergency box of tequila and I put it in the grooms room and I told a couple of people, Hey, should we run out, which I don't think we will because we have a massive amount, go back in there and grab a few extra bottles, and somehow we ran out. Nobody got the message. I didn't know, and but I think it was probably for the best. I think we were all pretty pickled and having a
good time. I don't think what we anticipated is how many shots would be going out the door, and that really burns through the supply pretty quick.
It could have taken a turn. Yes, so I think it was good that we ran out.
We had we had the wonderful TIFFs, treats, cookies, and everyone kind of leaned into the milk and cookies and less tequila towards the end of the night probably saved a lot of us.
I mean, I know there were people and it was just like it wasn't bachelor people, but like there was like a breakup that happened at the wedding like there. I mean, they're like some stuff went down. So I think that running out of the tepical wedding stuff.
You know, yeah, you gotta have some stories out of.
It, but stuff they kind of filtered back to us, you know, weeks later.
If you haven't tried at cm bray s I E M P R E so good, you'll run out of it.
So that's the taglines. Yeah we did too.
I'm going to transition. Let's get to work. Here's some questions a little more leaning into our work lives. Number one, who is a dream guest you'd like to have on the podcast? From Isa is the question.
Do you have somebody in mind? I mean my dream dream guest, dream dream bottom.
Oh you love you too.
If I getting into the craziness, I actually would love And this is not our show and so it's not really ever political. I would love to have all of the presidential candidates on I would love to have RFK. I would love to have Biden. I would love to have Trump. I would love to have vi Vaiku. I would love to have I would love to do a series of shows with all the candidates.
Oh wow, put them in the hot seat.
Yes, that to me would be fascinating. I love that very much. It's very interesting to me. I followed the politics and I love listening to these people speak and spin, and.
You do have that newsy side to you.
I would really enjoy doing that. It's twenty twenty four election year. Maybe we'll start doing that.
Listen, President Trump, you did speak about the Bachelor's ratings. Remember when he talked about the Bachelor during the pandemic. Yes, he was like, these conferences are getting ratings like the Bachelor big, bigger than the Bachelor.
And they're like, no, no, no, sir, you're you're wrong. Actually we dwarfed you. And honestly, it wouldn't be to like give you my opinion. I would just love to let these people talk.
Here's a one that I have never asked you from Kristen. How would you feel if your kids, Josh or Taylor wanted to go on a reality show.
I've talked a little bit about this because people often, you know, when they would ask about my daughter, it'd be like, would you ever let her be on the Bachelor Bachelrette back in the day, And the answer was, yes, look I have. And now we have raised these kids and I think we've instilled in them the values, the confidence, the wisdom go do you you make your own decisions? Work, play life. You know who you are responsible for and responsible to now, and so I totally trust them to
make good decisions. And if that involved reality TV, by the way, I don't think it ever will, because neither one of them really seem inclined to do so. But sure knock yourself out from Ashley.
Does the Bachelor Bachelorette actually get to pick who goes on the one on ones? Or does production shoes You've been asked this many times.
Both you know it's it's You can even put a percentage on it that it's fifty to fifty because it depends on the season, depends on the storyline. There's a lot of bartering and negotiating that goes on with the Bachelor Bacherette. It depends on if we needed a storyline to be pushed, or sometimes it was we need a girl to be exposed and she's not good for you, and so you need to go on to one on
one dates. You can see that. So sometimes you're reluctant because you're like, well, I'm not really into Lauren, but we wanted you to go on a date because you needed to make a decision. Because these people can't just stay on the show. So sometimes we would do it for drama, sometimes for the best interest of the Bachelor batcherette. So a lot went into play week by week. Who went on dates, why, who was on the group dates together,
the two on ones, et cetera. So there's not really a clearcut percentage on that, but definitely it goes back and forth.
From Amy, do you not watch The Bachelor now because it triggers you?
I don't know if that is fair. The reason I don't watch is it was my job, it was my livelihood, and it was really my life. I mean that's what I did three sixty five. I was involved in that show. I mean, there really wasn't a day that went by where I wasn't doing something for it. Maybe Christmas, Christmas Eve or something, but it was really a very intensive job that took up a lot of my life and my emotion and my energy. And so to watch it now it just I watched it back then, not really
for enjoyment. I wasn't really watching it because it was fun for me. I was watching it because it was my life and my job and it's what I needed to do. So it just doesn't make sense because now I know how the sausage is made, I know how it shot. I could probably tell you by the shot who's directing that day, who the photographer is, maybe even who audio is. I'm looking at the art department, how the room is set up. I mean, I've seen it all.
So once you kind of seen behind the curtain and you helped him that curtain, it just doesn't It doesn't bring me the enjoyment that other shows do.
Right, well, yeah, when you were still on, I mean you watched it so you knew, like for interviews and like you know exactly, Yeah.
I would get it. I would get it was a screener and I would quickly go through it because obviously I'd already know. I knew what happened because I was on the date or what have you. And so Yeah, I would watch it to see what the editors came up with and the storyline we were pushing, and yeah, so a lot went into it that it wasn't just for my own enjoyment.
Liz asks, can we start a petition to make Jason Tarctick the Bachelor or would you not want.
That for him?
Oh? That's a tough question, because if I'm being honest, I think it's I think it would be he would be great at it. I think he would be a very good bachelor. And I'm doing air quotes that you can't see because it's a podcast. Figure, I don't know if that that show per se it was good would be good for him. I think a show like that where he is finding love publicly could work for him. Maybe a different show, whatever that may be. What do you think? You know Jason as well as I do.
I love Jason, I've always loved I think Jason's a great guy.
Yeah.
I think that he's really in a place where he's like ready, I mean, he talks a lot about when we've talked to him, he talks a lot about like the age that he's at and like, you know, he he knows that he wants to find something really real.
And so yeah, he's got that ripped revenge pod.
Gaing the Bachelor feels like it would be like maybe a step backwards to me, like, yeah, you know, it's like he's he was a contestant, he's done that. It's been a minute, Like I would want kind of the next thing for him. But I think Jason is very beloved and great TV.
That was a nice way of saying. I didn't want it to have a negative connotation and I didn't want to say, like, oh, the show's not good. I agree. I think maybe that would just be a step back for him into something that got him to where he was that he got, you know, in that relationship that he broke away from. So maybe a fresh start somewhere else. I agree. Thank you for the question.
Sandy is asking do you think the Bachelor franchise will go off air sooner rather than later?
I don't know. It has a lot of legs left. You know, Paradise is being not they're not saying being canceled, but from producers and people that I've talked to, it's being put on the shelf. However you want to describe that might be for a season might be for a year, might be indefinitely, it might be canceled. But it's definitely from what I've heard from production and people close to the show, that it's going to be on the shelf
this summer. The Bachelor, Bacheorette they're doing. Okay, Golden Bachelor gave it a little shot in the arm the ratings wise, so it's still has some legs. You know, it's still a viable show for ABC, and so, you know, for the people that worked on the show. By the way, I hope it stays. Like I think it's good for
reality TV. I don't think it's good when shows go away that were huge, huge, you know, parts of the industry, and so I think it's important that the show can, you know, constantly tries to redefine itself and keep going. But you know, the production's being cut down. They're trying to save money. Obviously, they're cutting days, they're cutting episodes, they're cutting hours. That's never a great thing. You know,
when you're doing great, you're expanding. When you're doing bad, your contraction.
So I truly can't remember if we talked about this when like we first did this podcast, and we kind of first talked about everything, but when all that stuff was happening with you and with you know, were you still going to be on the show or not and all that. Yeah, you always I was always struck by and it's really part of what made me fall for you was that your priority was always like keeping the show going because you wanted all of those people who
were employed by the show to keep their jobs. Yeah, like that was always a priority for you. Was There's hundreds of people people I know who work on the show who have families, and you were always trying to just keep the show going for that reason.
Yeah, we traveled with these people intimately, and their families usually came, you know, many times came with us. And so the wives, the husbands, the kids. It's it was personal, you know, we go back to the beginning of this when we talked about it. You know, it's not personal, it's business. It was both for us, I mean, because we all did spend so much time together. And so I know a lot of the people that are still on the show, and I wish them well, I wish
them employment. You know, this is a job for them. It's how they pay their rent, it's how they you know, pay for schools for their kids and food and et cetera. And so while it's important for the industry to you know, I don't like for shows to fail. You know, when you call for a show to fail, when you wish it to fail, when you wish for people to lose their job. It's something that struck me when I was going through this and people were calling for my job,
and I'm like, it really struck me. You don't know me at all, you know nothing about me other than what you've seen on TV, and you're calling for my livelihood to end. That's a very very strong thing, and it's often when we're in the public eye, especially for like football coaches. You know, the Super Bowl just happened, and so people say, oh, you know the coach for the Dallas Cowboys, they suck. He should be fired. Okay,
that man is going to lose his job. That means they'll probably have to move, but it also means the entire coaching staff twenty thirty other people are going to lose their jobs. They're uprooted, pulling their kids out of schools, finding a new city, finding a new job. So just I'm just saying, be careful when you wish for people to lose their job, when you call for someone's job, it is a it's a livelihood and it's a life.
And so you know, for me to come out and say, oh, I'm you know, mad the way the Bachelor treated me, I wish these I wish they would it would fail. I don't wish for these people to fail because it's their life.
Uh, you know, I'll read this one, I guess is for myself. James said, Lauren, have you thought about starting Roses and Rose again but not making it about the Bachelor franchise? I did think about that many times. I think I just was like, you know, what show do I want.
To pick to do that? If I'm going to do it.
But and I had all these considerations, but the biggest thing for me was that I didn't want to create as much as like Bachelor Nation was huge and I loved being part of it, I didn't want to create something that relied solely on one other a show again on another, on someone else's work, on something that was like, you know, I just wanted I wanted to create a bigger thing next, something that wasn't as much fun as it was something that wasn't quite so small or niche.
And also, I you know, I've just been thinking so much about wanting to create something on my own. Yeah, like something that is not a recap or review of what others are doing. Even though I very much enjoyed doing it and had a lot of fun with it.
Well, you're incredible at it, and it's I still loved it this day when people stop us at an airport or whatever and talk about roses and rose and how much joy it brought them. Because it did. But I also, you know, you created something from scratch and obviously it was a little bit intertwined in the Bachelor world. It's
okay to let that be what it was. And I think that's important in life and business and relationships, is that it's okay to celebrate that and remember that for a good thing and then move on to the next and count that as a big win. That's a big W in your column, The Bachelor is a big W in my column. That franchise. I don't need to recreate that to be successful again. I can do something else. And I think the same for you is that was
a huge victory. Now onto the next, something bigger, better or brighter.
Well, actually, Lynn asked, when will you share a new project that you've alluded to.
I think it's safe to say this month, February twenty twenty four, LZ and I will drop the news of what is next, what our next chapter will look like. I couldn't be more excited for it, couldn't be more proud of it, and I can't believe it hasn't leaked out already, but it'll be coming out very soon. Okay, I think you would like to add on that note.
No, I think you put it on perfectly well the last question, but you might have just answered it. Elizabeth asked what do you and LZ look forward to the most in your future together as a couple, And I'll.
Answer it and say, what I look forward to is the future work we're gonna do.
You know, we've had an incredible last year of moving to Austin full time, really building a world of friends here, planning two weddings, getting married, and of course we've had this incredible podcast, which I've loved doing. But the work stuff like hasn't been as full throttle by choice, you know, We've been like planning some seeds and doing some things, but really took time to like get married and that was amazing, and honestly, I had and look, I'm very
grateful I got to. But you know, I've been working in news for more than ten years, and I did years where I worked overnights for years, and news is like a twenty four to seven job, and so I didn't really mind like taking a little step back and like kind of getting healthy and chilling out a little bit. But now I'm excited for us to work on a new project together and get the creativity going again.
I think it's important that your priorities are allowed to change in life. For both of us, our careers were our priority, and at times it's family, at times, it's work, at times it's this. So I think it's important that things can ebb and flow. For us. Last year, we put our family in our lives up top, and we
really made that a priority. Our weddings were obviously public, but that was just a small part of what was important to us, with our kids and everything else that we really really dove into, and we were able to maintain and do this podcast and other things. Like you said, But I think for both of us it's safe to say the fire is burning really hot right now to
get back and do something. And I would say, my priority is not only to get back and we are going to do something very fun and that news will drop soon, but it's doing it with you. Being able to do this now with the woman I love is so exciting for me personally. I get so pumped up about just thinking about that. I can't wait.
Yeah, we're super lucky and that we get to work together and spend all this time together and then take breaks when we want to for a mental health No, I agree, And I'm also really glad that like we're doing it in a way that we feel good about. You know, there have been offers that have come your way, different asks for you to do different TV shows and different ideas and other jobs that you know, I know you've said no too, and we've just known that that
wasn't like the way we wanted to go. So again, I feel grateful that we were able to do that, and like, at the end of the day, you got to feel good about It's more important to feel good about the job that you're taking then.
And we can choose to do that now, which is wonderful. And you know, without getting too much into it, because we will do an entire podcast when this news drops. The press release will come out and then it will do a you know, correlating a podcast and kind of give you the deats. But I will just say this, the Lord works in mysterious ways, and often you're working towards a goal and sometimes you don't even know what
that goal will eventually be. And we have been shown this way that's led to the most spectacular, wonderful thing that we are excited about, but we're proud of and fired up for. So it's there's a lot to be thankful for and I can't wait to share that news. And again, it'll be coming very soon, LZ. I love the Q and a's. I love doing it with you.
