Gonna be a fun episode. We're catching up on couples
that we've covered before in the past, seeing where they are and
what's happened recently and diving into that.
Yeah, 'cause sometimes there's more to the story than we left.
Off. And so before we get into the
episode, I'm gonna take a shot. I thought you're about to do an
ad an. Ad break No.
No, there's no ads on Patreon. No ads, but guys, here we go.
Here she goes. OK, getting in the spirit.
OK, I'm gonna clink. Can you?
Can you hear that? Let me try.
Clink. Oh, I heard it.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna clink my chaser.
It's still. Technically summer.
So whoa, you. Did it, I did it.
I just did a shot at tequila. How?
Do you feel no? I've been doing shots of tequila
like more frequently when I start the night and I'm getting
used to them. It's not that bad.
Cool. It's really tough of you.
Yeah, I'm just getting used to the taste of my mouth, but but
here we go. It's we're back, baby.
We're. Back.
We're going back. So how's it how is how it's
going to work is I'm going to talk about couples that I've
covered and then in our next Patreon episode, Kelly is going
to catch up on couples that she's covered.
But I have a lot to talk about, so I'm going to dive in.
But if we don't get to everything, I'll save some for
next episode. All right, so I'm going to start
off with some happy news. I want to congratulate Mindy
Kaling. What?
She had another baby. Oh my.
Gosh. Her third baby at 45 years old.
Wow, nobody really knew she was pregnant like some I didn't I
went back I saw some fans like were speculating, which is kind
of disrespectful, but she actually was pregnant.
So they were right. They were on her.
But I had no idea because I feel like I, I don't know if I should
say this, but like people have been talking about Ozempic a lot
and I kept seeing her picture of like, oh, she lost all this
weight she was on the Ozempics. When did she have time to hide A
pregnancy? Because people keep talking
about how skinny she is and she was like secretly pregnant for
nine months. That's crazy.
Wow. When did this happen?
I had. No idea.
In February, she had her third baby.
Wow. And so then, did the Ozempic
rumors start after that? I feel like she's been like the
number one person that people talk about with celebrities
doing Ozempic for like at least two years, two or three years.
Wrong with that? Nothing.
Else no, no, but in the middle of that she had a pregnancy.
So like, maybe people were pulling up pictures from like a
year ago or something. And, you know, I feel like the
celebrities, like the timelines get confusing.
Yes. So I feel so gossipy, but are
people presuming it's the same father, which is kind of a
question mark? Who is?
We don't know who the dad is, but as you guys know, our first
episode was on Mindy and BJ Novak.
And I feel like because that was our first episode, like, we
always get messages from people, like about the idea that BJ's
the father and people are very passionate about it, she wrote
on Instagram when she announced that she had a baby, She said in
June. In late February, I gave birth
to my daughter and she's the best birthday present I could
have ever imagined. When things are hard, whenever I
veer towards cynicism, my three kids are such a great reminder
of the pure joy in my life. I'm so lucky I live in a place
where I could do this by myself on my own timeline.
Thanks for the birthday wishes. Three kids.
But of note there she said by myself and on my own.
So I feel like she's letting people know, like literally by
myself comma on my own comma. She's letting people know like
I'm a single mom, like they're my kids, this is my choice.
And I think BJ is like very involved, but I don't really
think he is the father because why would she be telling us
that? Yeah, she's really making a
point. So yeah, I mean, that would be
shitty if he was. And I mean, it seems like he
does celebrate holidays with them as the Godfather and goes
to Red Sox games occasionally, but it's just not really adding
up. If he was the father, why is she
so adamant? Like I'm doing this by myself,
you know, I. Think and like The thing is
like, so my aunt on my dad's side, like she kind of recently,
like she's in the situation where she was like platonically
raising these two kids but with her roommate, but like it's like
completely platonic. Oh, I didn't.
Think about that. Yeah, I, I think that's the
situation, you know, like it takes a village and like, some
people are like, I don't know if I really could do it on my own.
Like, it would be nice to have like a partner, even if it's not
like in a romantic sense. I don't know if my aunt goes by
mom. I don't think she does, but
she's just like helping to raise these two kids.
And you know, when you watch like Sabrina the Teenage Witch,
like she's raised by her two aunts in the house and stuff,
and that's ATV show. But like full house, they're
raised by, you know, three men. Like it's parenting comes in
different forms and it's not necessarily like your mom or
your dad. But if that was the case, if
they had an arrangement, I guess it's not anybody else's
business. But why not tell us like, why?
Like why for your children's sake?
Why is that a secret? Very mysterious.
Maybe because I think like people wouldn't get it, but I
don't know. It'd be kind of cool if they
were all if they said, but that's why I think like he's
just a friend. Yeah, sorry to all the shippers.
All right, I will have to stop the episode right there.
