9
00:00:33,980 --> 00:00:37,900
And yeah, welcome to this fun 
summer Patreon episodes. 

10
00:00:37,900 --> 00:00:42,380
Yep, today we're covering a 
couple that I know literally 

11
00:00:42,380 --> 00:00:46,780
nothing about. 
I Kelly covering it. 

12
00:00:47,220 --> 00:00:51,740
So if you're new, we switch off 
covering each couple. 

13
00:00:52,180 --> 00:00:54,510
And we're cousins. 
I feel like you should know 

14
00:00:54,510 --> 00:00:55,310
that. 
Yeah. 

15
00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:58,710
Yeah. 
Today we are talking about the 

16
00:00:58,790 --> 00:01:04,590
actress Carey Mulligan and the 
musician Marcus Mumford of 

17
00:01:04,590 --> 00:01:05,870
Mumford and Sons. 
Yes. 

18
00:01:05,870 --> 00:01:07,470
You might know from Mumford and 
Sons. 

19
00:01:07,470 --> 00:01:10,550
The Mumford comes from Mumford. 
Marcus Mumford. 

20
00:01:10,590 --> 00:01:12,550
Yes. 
That's a great name. 

21
00:01:12,670 --> 00:01:13,750
Marcus. 
Marcus Mumford. 

22
00:01:13,790 --> 00:01:15,470
I know. 
Where is he from? 

23
00:01:15,790 --> 00:01:17,470
England. 
OK Yeah. 

24
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:20,110
And so is she. 
So this is a British episode. 

25
00:01:20,190 --> 00:01:23,710
Oh, I love that. 
We're going to England today. 

26
00:01:24,430 --> 00:01:26,990
Yeah, they have. 
You know what? 

27
00:01:26,990 --> 00:01:29,990
I'm going to make just a bold 
claim here. 

28
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:38,350
I think the cutest or not, one 
of the cutest meat cutes of this

29
00:01:38,350 --> 00:01:40,790
podcast. 
I love that this is the main 

30
00:01:40,790 --> 00:01:43,510
reason I wanted to do this. 
This is a meat cute episode. 

31
00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:45,390
This is a meat. 
This is all about the meat. 

32
00:01:45,390 --> 00:01:55,400
I love that M EE T. 
Not MB AT It's all about that, 

33
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,680
but I originally thought that 
this episode was going to be 

34
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,560
like 15 minutes long because I 
thought it was only going to be 

35
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,200
about the way they met. 
I didn't think there was any 

36
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,560
more information about them, but
I kept digging. 

37
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,919
I kept researching you guys and 
I have more to say. 

38
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,280
So it's not just going to be how
they met, but how they met is 

39
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,280
very cute. 
And I'm going to say the three 

40
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,900
words to describe this couple. 
I would say private. 

41
00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:23,620
Well, those private couples keep
having those. 

42
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:27,540
I know. 
I understand why they do it. 

43
00:02:27,540 --> 00:02:32,180
But yeah, it's disappointing. 
Private homey. 

44
00:02:32,540 --> 00:02:36,660
OK, so do you seem homey to me? 
And serendipitous? 

45
00:02:36,820 --> 00:02:39,300
Oh, I really want to know how 
they met. 

46
00:02:39,540 --> 00:02:43,380
OK, well, hang on. 
I'm going to get into their back

47
00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:47,940
story first, so. 
Carrie Hannah Mulligan. 

48
00:02:48,220 --> 00:02:52,860
She was born May 28th, 1985, so 
today she's 38. 

49
00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:56,260
She was born in London. 
She's a Gemini. 

50
00:02:56,620 --> 00:03:00,140
It's so is Mel, so you can 
relate to her maybe. 

51
00:03:01,260 --> 00:03:04,780
Her father is of Irish descent, 
originally from Liverpool, and 

52
00:03:04,780 --> 00:03:08,820
he was a hotel manager. 
And her mother, Nano Booth, was 

53
00:03:08,820 --> 00:03:12,100
from Wales, a university 
lecturer and she also has an 

54
00:03:12,140 --> 00:03:15,060
older brother, Owen, who today 
is a captain in the British 

55
00:03:15,140 --> 00:03:18,170
Army. 
At age 3, her dad's hotel 

56
00:03:18,170 --> 00:03:20,650
manager job took the family to 
Germany. 

57
00:03:21,530 --> 00:03:26,250
Moved to Germany. 
Yep, people always move around 

58
00:03:26,530 --> 00:03:29,210
and they moved back to the UK. 
When she was 8 years old. 

59
00:03:29,530 --> 00:03:34,010
She attended an Independent 
School for girls in Surrey and 

60
00:03:34,010 --> 00:03:36,850
she got into acting as little 
kid, performing in plays at 

61
00:03:36,850 --> 00:03:38,890
school, she said about her 
youth. 

62
00:03:39,250 --> 00:03:42,050
I was like a drama geek. 
I never fell into acting. 

63
00:03:42,050 --> 00:03:44,130
I was obsessed with acting from 
a young age. 

64
00:03:44,170 --> 00:03:47,610
I wanted to be musicals. 
I wore a lame is T-shirt for 

65
00:03:47,610 --> 00:03:51,130
four years, well into my teens. 
She also said in childhood she 

66
00:03:51,130 --> 00:03:53,530
was very goody goody, 
churchgoing, hardworking, 

67
00:03:53,570 --> 00:03:55,290
obedient. 
She never did anything wrong 

68
00:03:55,290 --> 00:03:59,170
because she was terrified of 
being caught, and this article 

69
00:03:59,170 --> 00:04:01,090
said that she still never tried 
drugs. 

70
00:04:01,450 --> 00:04:04,530
She said I had a terrible guilty
conscious from an early age. 

71
00:04:04,810 --> 00:04:07,450
I don't know why. 
Wasn't anything to do with her? 

72
00:04:07,450 --> 00:04:10,610
Christianity, No, she says. 
Religion was always a positive 

73
00:04:10,610 --> 00:04:13,610
thing for her. 
From the ages of 8 to 11 she 

74
00:04:13,610 --> 00:04:15,960
went to. 
Convent school in England and 

75
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,399
saying in the church choir. 
Throughout her childhood I had 

76
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:21,320
religion around me and provided 
a real community and that lasted

77
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,360
into my adulthood. 
Part of the reason I love doing 

78
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,120
films and plays is I love having
a group of people you get to 

79
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,960
know really well. 
You're surrounded by people all 

80
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,040
the time and I love that about 
going to church every week and 

81
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,200
singing in the choir. 
I don't know if I mean she still

82
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,160
does or if that was about her 
past, but. 

83
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,360
I also have a guilty conscience,
I think. 

84
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:43,360
Me too to that okay. 
That's where we're going to stop

85
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,680
for now. 
For Kerry Mulligan and Marcus 

86
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,640
Mumford. 
He was born January 31st, 1987. 

87
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,000
So he's two years younger than 
Kerry Mulligan and he is an 

88
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,360
Aquarius of that what you will, 
people. 

89
00:04:58,870 --> 00:05:03,310
He was born in Yorba Linda, CA. 
What? 

90
00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:05,710
Oh, I thought he was British. 
He is British. 

91
00:05:05,910 --> 00:05:08,150
His English parents were living 
there. 

92
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:10,710
So he's both a UK and a U.S. 
citizen. 

93
00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:14,070
Nice. 
Lucky he can live anywhere he 

94
00:05:14,070 --> 00:05:18,670
wants in those countries. 
His parents, John and Eleanor 

95
00:05:18,670 --> 00:05:21,350
Mumford, were international 
leaders of the Vineyard 

96
00:05:21,350 --> 00:05:24,980
churches. 
He is an older brother, James, 

97
00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:29,380
So his family also moved, you 
know, they moved to California 

98
00:05:29,620 --> 00:05:32,220
and then they moved back to the 
UK when Marcus was six months 

99
00:05:32,220 --> 00:05:34,860
old, OK? 
And he, I don't know why this is

100
00:05:34,860 --> 00:05:38,860
public public knowledge, but he 
grew up on Chatsworth Ave. in 

101
00:05:38,860 --> 00:05:42,500
Wimbledon Chase, southwest 
London, and I looked that up on 

102
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:43,980
Google Earth. 
That's the street. 

103
00:05:44,460 --> 00:05:47,420
And it's such a cute street. 
I wish I lived there. 

104
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:49,460
I would seriously love to live 
on that street. 

105
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:52,300
He was educated at King's 
College School, which is a 

106
00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:55,380
school for kids. 7 to 18 in 
Wimbledon. 

107
00:05:55,620 --> 00:05:58,540
And that's where he met the 
future band member of Marcus. 

108
00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:02,860
I mean future band member of 
Mumford and Sons, Ben Lovett. 

109
00:06:04,980 --> 00:06:08,540
All right, I will have to stop 
the episode right there. 

110
00:06:08,620 --> 00:06:11,220
Thank you so much for listening 
to the teaser.
