| 0:28.3 | Oh, how lucky are we. |
| 0:30.1 | We're lucky, Gareth. |
| 0:31.3 | We are lucky. |
| 0:32.3 | I mean, we really, we are very grateful to have the guests we have on this show. But very early on, we had |
| 0:40.1 | a friend of both of ours on and she crushed. And then we couldn't stop asking her on. And we've |
| 0:47.0 | been trying to get her on for a minute. She's very busy. But we actually are joined today by the great |
| 0:52.9 | Cat Reitman. |
| 0:55.0 | What's up, guys. Here we go. |
| 0:57.7 | Here we go. |
| 0:59.3 | How did we know each other? |
| 1:01.8 | Did we know each other through the G-Man? |
| 1:05.4 | Or did we know each other before? |
| 1:06.6 | I don't think it was through the G-Man, but I think it was, I think I've been a fan of yours forever. Back at you. And then. But when did we, when did we know each other? Because I remember when we started doing this pod together, I know you really well. It's like we knew each other. Very well. I feel like it was probably, I mean, I know that my dad was obsessed with you and, and like like really, he spoke of you really highly, so there was also something familiar. Oh, my God, Jake. Oh, I thought your dad hated me. No, oh my God, no, he really, he not only adored you. And my dad, as you know, it's hard to get in his good, he picks his people,? He's... Like, Gareth, not so much. Not a fam. No. But I will say, I tried. Did you? Oh, my God. Wait. Gareth, can you very quickly tell Jake the bit you were doing at that one, like, party we had? Where we hired a band to perform at a party, Jake. I think it was like a madman |
| 2:01.6 | theme party. So imagine Gareth in a full suit. And my parents come because I was really close |
| 2:08.1 | with them. My father passed away. I was so so close with him. And Gareth shows up and he's standing |
| 2:14.0 | in between me and my dad. And I could feel Gareth, because I know I'm |
| 2:17.7 | enough at that point being like, I'm going to get it. I know that Gareth, too. And it would give me a stomachache. I'll, right? Before you start, I'd go like this. Stop. Stop, stop. But too late, band is going. And the lead singer of the band was like a real character. Take it away, Gareth. I don't even remember this. |
