| 0:00.0 | What if you wanted to live a rich life? What if you wanted your life to be better than |
| 0:21.4 | fine? But when you tried to convince your partner to dream just a little bigger, his response |
| 0:27.2 | was, well, it depends. Well, no, we would. We would want it to be better than fine. Yeah, |
| 0:34.5 | but like, I mean, I guess it depends, right? Like, what your priorities are. Well, I just |
| 0:40.1 | don't have a lot of trust in certain things, like, for a lot of reasons, right? When I pulled |
| 0:47.3 | and pulled, try to understand what their rich life is, specifically what his rich life is, |
| 0:54.7 | I just got a lot of resistance. We can go tomorrow, like, if we wanted to, right? But I don't know. |

| 2:01.6 | doesn't even want to talk about it at all. That's what we're going to find out today. |
| 2:07.2 | Oh, and by the way, she only told Greg that she applied to be on the show right before we got on |
