Summary

Today’s deep dive is a double feature: the love story of not just one, but two of our US Presidents and their wives. This episode focuses very little on politics and a lot on love. No matter which side of the aisle you find yourself, buckle in and enjoy these two love stories. Listen in to hear all about how Barack and Michelle Obama met, fell in love, endured eight years as the First Family, and found each other once again outside of the White House. Next, hear all about Donald and Melania Trump’s love story, which has the common thread of enduring harsh criticism and media speculation, all the while remaining by each other’s sides.

Well, well, well, we are back from vacation. I'm hobbling back to life. I don't know

0:17.7

about you. Hi, everyone. Thank you so much for your patience as we released an interim

0:25.3

episode and did not deliver our traditional pop-upologist episode this week. It's coming

0:32.2

to you a day late. Here it is. Yes, Jenner. I am absolutely hobbling my way back to the

0:36.7

microphone. Can we talk about our new target trip a little bit and then we'll get to the

0:41.5

main part of the episode? Is that where? Yes. Yes, it does. What were your general thoughts?

0:48.4

I am really excited to chat with you about it and share our experience because it's been

0:55.7

a place I have been dying to go. I'm sure our listeners want to hear about it if they

1:01.8

haven't been. I have been before. This was not my first rodeo. Ever since I went, I knew

1:10.0

it was a place I wanted to return to. It's really special. It's really unique, I'd say.

1:15.7

There's something about it where all the houses look the same and they all have these gray

1:22.1

shingles. I don't know what they're exactly called, but it almost feels like the entire island

breezy, casually elegant seaside town slash island and I would absolutely go back. I can't wait

1:57.3

to bring Kagan. It's just such an aesthetic place. Like you said, like everywhere you turn,

2:03.3

the way the light hits the buildings, your eyes are met with constant delight wherever you turn

2:09.2

them on Nantucket and I think that is just what makes it so special. You had actually

2:15.8

compared it to Martha's Vineyard and you said that it's a lot more beautiful than Martha's Vineyard.

2:20.3

Is that something you're willing to share publicly or is that a secret thought? Yeah, I'm willing
