Gonna be a fun episode. 
We're catching up on couples 

10
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,720
that we've covered before in the
past, seeing where they are and 

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,280
what's happened recently and 
diving into that. 

12
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,520
Yeah, 'cause sometimes there's 
more to the story than we left. 

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,280
Off. 
And so before we get into the 

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,120
episode, I'm gonna take a shot. 
I thought you're about to do an 

15
00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:00,520
ad an. 
Ad break No. 

16
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,240
No, there's no ads on Patreon. 
No ads, but guys, here we go. 

17
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,760
Here she goes. 
OK, getting in the spirit. 

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,360
OK, I'm gonna clink. 
Can you? 

19
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,680
Can you hear that? 
Let me try. 

20
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,360
Clink. 
Oh, I heard it. 

21
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,360
I'm gonna, I'm gonna clink my 
chaser. 

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,400
It's still. 
Technically summer. 

23
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,360
So whoa, you. 
Did it, I did it. 

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,560
I just did a shot at tequila. 
How? 

25
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,960
Do you feel no? 
I've been doing shots of tequila

26
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:35,360
like more frequently when I 
start the night and I'm getting 

27
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,840
used to them. 
It's not that bad. 

28
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,840
Cool. 
It's really tough of you. 

29
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:45,080
Yeah, I'm just getting used to 
the taste of my mouth, but but 

30
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,760
here we go. 
It's we're back, baby. 

31
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:48,520
We're. 
Back. 

32
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,960
We're going back. 
So how's it how is how it's 

33
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,280
going to work is I'm going to 
talk about couples that I've 

34
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,440
covered and then in our next 
Patreon episode, Kelly is going 

35
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,360
to catch up on couples that 
she's covered. 

36
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,840
But I have a lot to talk about, 
so I'm going to dive in. 

37
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,400
But if we don't get to 
everything, I'll save some for 

38
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,600
next episode. 
All right, so I'm going to start

39
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,000
off with some happy news. 
I want to congratulate Mindy 

40
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,840
Kaling. 
What? 

41
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,840
She had another baby. 
Oh my. 

42
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,520
Gosh. 
Her third baby at 45 years old. 

43
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,640
Wow, nobody really knew she was 
pregnant like some I didn't I 

44
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:31,240
went back I saw some fans like 
were speculating, which is kind 

45
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,480
of disrespectful, but she 
actually was pregnant. 

46
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,920
So they were right. 
They were on her. 

47
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,160
But I had no idea because I feel
like I, I don't know if I should

48
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,840
say this, but like people have 
been talking about Ozempic a lot

49
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,760
and I kept seeing her picture of
like, oh, she lost all this 

50
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,160
weight she was on the Ozempics. 
When did she have time to hide A

51
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,280
pregnancy? 
Because people keep talking 

52
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,480
about how skinny she is and she 
was like secretly pregnant for 

53
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,080
nine months. 
That's crazy. 

54
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,600
Wow. 
When did this happen? 

55
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,320
I had. 
No idea. 

56
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,000
In February, she had her third 
baby. 

57
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,560
Wow. 
And so then, did the Ozempic 

58
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,240
rumors start after that? 
I feel like she's been like the 

59
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,120
number one person that people 
talk about with celebrities 

60
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,480
doing Ozempic for like at least 
two years, two or three years. 

61
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,040
Wrong with that? 
Nothing. 

62
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,040
Else no, no, but in the middle 
of that she had a pregnancy. 

63
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,560
So like, maybe people were 
pulling up pictures from like a 

64
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,280
year ago or something. 
And, you know, I feel like the 

65
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,400
celebrities, like the timelines 
get confusing. 

66
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:36,120
Yes. 
So I feel so gossipy, but are 

67
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,640
people presuming it's the same 
father, which is kind of a 

68
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,720
question mark? 
Who is? 

69
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,400
We don't know who the dad is, 
but as you guys know, our first 

70
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,320
episode was on Mindy and BJ 
Novak. 

71
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,000
And I feel like because that was
our first episode, like, we 

72
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,200
always get messages from people,
like about the idea that BJ's 

73
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,960
the father and people are very 
passionate about it, she wrote 

74
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,800
on Instagram when she announced 
that she had a baby, She said in

75
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,080
June. 
In late February, I gave birth 

76
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,040
to my daughter and she's the 
best birthday present I could 

77
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,240
have ever imagined. 
When things are hard, whenever I

78
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,279
veer towards cynicism, my three 
kids are such a great reminder 

79
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,240
of the pure joy in my life. 
I'm so lucky I live in a place 

80
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,360
where I could do this by myself 
on my own timeline. 

81
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,240
Thanks for the birthday wishes. 
Three kids. 

82
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,640
But of note there she said by 
myself and on my own. 

83
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:37,080
So I feel like she's letting 
people know, like literally by 

84
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,880
myself comma on my own comma. 
She's letting people know like 

85
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,120
I'm a single mom, like they're 
my kids, this is my choice. 

86
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,440
And I think BJ is like very 
involved, but I don't really 

87
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,560
think he is the father because 
why would she be telling us 

88
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,920
that? 
Yeah, she's really making a 

89
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,240
point. 
So yeah, I mean, that would be 

90
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,720
shitty if he was. 
And I mean, it seems like he 

91
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,400
does celebrate holidays with 
them as the Godfather and goes 

92
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,840
to Red Sox games occasionally, 
but it's just not really adding 

93
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:15,080
up. 
If he was the father, why is she

94
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,320
so adamant? 
Like I'm doing this by myself, 

95
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,600
you know, I. 
Think and like The thing is 

96
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:25,600
like, so my aunt on my dad's 
side, like she kind of recently,

97
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,640
like she's in the situation 
where she was like platonically 

98
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,480
raising these two kids but with 
her roommate, but like it's like

99
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,000
completely platonic. 
Oh, I didn't. 

100
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,520
Think about that. 
Yeah, I, I think that's the 

101
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,480
situation, you know, like it 
takes a village and like, some 

102
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,600
people are like, I don't know if
I really could do it on my own. 

103
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,960
Like, it would be nice to have 
like a partner, even if it's not

104
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,400
like in a romantic sense. 
I don't know if my aunt goes by 

105
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,840
mom. 
I don't think she does, but 

106
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:54,400
she's just like helping to raise
these two kids. 

107
00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:58,160
And you know, when you watch 
like Sabrina the Teenage Witch, 

108
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,360
like she's raised by her two 
aunts in the house and stuff, 

109
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,720
and that's ATV show. 
But like full house, they're 

110
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,560
raised by, you know, three men. 
Like it's parenting comes in 

111
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,320
different forms and it's not 
necessarily like your mom or 

112
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,080
your dad. 
But if that was the case, if 

113
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,960
they had an arrangement, I guess
it's not anybody else's 

114
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,960
business. 
But why not tell us like, why? 

115
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,160
Like why for your children's 
sake? 

116
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,280
Why is that a secret? 
Very mysterious. 

117
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,680
Maybe because I think like 
people wouldn't get it, but I 

118
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:28,960
don't know. 
It'd be kind of cool if they 

119
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,000
were all if they said, but 
that's why I think like he's 

120
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,080
just a friend. 
Yeah, sorry to all the shippers.

121
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,760
All right, I will have to stop 
the episode right there. 

122
