Hello everybody. Welcome back to that's the point with John and Kristen. It's good to be here today, isn't it, Chris? It's so good. I missed this seat.

0:25.0

Yeah, we were just talking. It feels like it has been a minute since we've been here chatting. Yeah, and then I get to John's house. I haven't seen him in like a week and he's like before you say anything. Just wait for the podcast. I'm like, John, no, no, I can say hello.

0:41.0

First of all, how late were you?

0:45.0

We don't need to get into that, do we?

0:48.0

We do. Because I just have to tell all of you that Kristen was supposed to be here at nine. I get a text at nine a.m. saying, I just woke up. I said, OK, then she says, check my location. I check her location. She's at McDonald's.

1:08.0

At this point, it's nine 45 950. She comes in with her McDonald's and I said, save it. We got over hit record. She goes, no, no, I got to eat. Let's catch up a little.

1:21.0

OK, yes, that is true. And John and Emily, John sister, both say my most toxic trait is that I'm late a lot.

1:31.0

But I'm good about not letting it affect me, right? Yes, I feel like it is true when it comes to my friendship with John and Emily that I'm always late to things.

1:41.0

But if I have like a doctor's appointment, I'm very punctual.

1:46.0

No, no, no, actually, Kristen made a reservation for Lexi's birthday dinner, her sister-in-law. And it said, if you are late, you will be fine $50.

1:58.0

So a person and it was eight people. Yeah. So Kristen was texting all of us. Do not be late. Do not be late. I was like, really?

2:04.0

I'm like, if y'all want to be five minutes late, be prepared to Vinmo, a hundred eight.

2:09.0

No, literally, she did. And I was like, literally, literally. And she, I get there two minutes before our 630 reservation, Kristen is sitting punctually in the lobby.

2:21.0

All ready to go. See, and then we have to talk about, wait, OK, we're just going to say this really quick. And then we'll tell you guys all about what today's podcast is going to be about.

2:32.0

But John and L.A. used to bribe me to be on time by saying every minute you're late, you have to know me a dollar or something like that.

2:41.0

And I made her do it too. And I was always on time. We got to start doing that for the podcast. Yeah, yeah.

2:46.0

You can say every 10 minutes you're late, you owe me $5. And you know I'll be on time.

2:50.0

This is our 6th episode. And unfortunately, Kristen has not been on time once. And I told her, I said, no, that's absolutely true. It's not a question.

2:59.0

And I told her, I said normally, when I tell you a time, I give myself an hour of that window before I know you're going to show up.

3:07.0

Sometimes it's 15 minutes, sometimes it's 45 like today. But hey, you do your best, right?

3:12.0

I'm just always trying to be in the best headspace for the podcast. So whether that means I need to run to McDonald's and get my breakfast sandwich or make my coffee at home, that takes priority.

3:25.0

Also, she said, I'm sorry, I woke up at five and I didn't fall back to sleep till 630. I said, I've been up since 430 and I didn't go back to bed.
