Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another installment of Chat Was Us, which by now you might be familiar with, but if you're tuning in for the first time, in these episodes we riff on a certain topic inspired by this is us. And today, ladies and gentlemen, we are talking about marriage.
That's right. And this time we have some very special guests here with us. Our spouses. Ryan, Rachel, and Taylor are here with us today. So we're getting the marriage perspective from all six of us. This is us. This is us
gave us so many different marriages to talk about. Jack and Rebecca, Beth and Randall, Kate and Toby, Miguel and Rebecca. Glad we got those guys in there too. They're often forgotten about.
How do the This Is Us cast and their spouses define marriage and partnership?
And all of the ways that relationships, um, those relationships evolved over the years. So today we're gonna take some of those themes and we're bringing them into our own lives. But first. Let's just check in with one another. This is so cool. Yeah. I feel like we talk about you guys all the time.
We do. We've been
talking shit about you guys
for hundreds of
episodes.
Threads has let me know.
Yeah. Your algorithm just like here's what your husband's been saying. Yeah. Yeah. Now it's our side of the story. Now it's your turn. Now it's your turn.
Taylor's been on our live. Uh huh. This is the
first from Richard.
This is Rachel's first time.
Well, welcome to MX.
How you feelin'?
Good. Excited. You guys are like family. This is fun. Do
you listen to the podcast? Yes.
No
tell the truth. D
I haven't listened to all the episodes. That's okay. But I have one or two.
One or two. But you haven't heard anybody say anything negative about you in any shape, form, or fashion.
No, did I miss one? No. Yeah.
Totally
making sure. Then you definitely don't listen to the podcast. Um, no, but it it was funny, like whenever Rachel and I have something like this that we do together, there's like there's something that comes over the household and it is two ways to prepare for something. Yeah. Which is to prepare on Rachel's side and to not prepare on my side.
Preparation versus non preparation.
Pre discussion. Reading. Pre discussions, checking the outline, sharing answers, betting answers. Yeah. It's
just this I love let me just be clear. This was a desire. It didn't actually happen. Okay.
We
did it last week. A little bit. We did like twenty percent of what I would normally do.
Like that's what you do. You go over this is a corporate background. Like you go over the material. I love them.
Well, it's like I have to have almost like for me, I have to memorize almost everything so that I have room to play.
Yes.
Uh that's like my process. It is kind of the opposite for him. Yeah.
I'm curious though, when it comes to like work, like doing your work on set or something, are you similar? Do you not like to prepare? No, he
prepared I w I d I am similar. I certainly and I have talked about this to where we we prepare to a certain point, but I am not like overly concerned about like the fine details of it. Yeah. Because I need to leave space in my in my body. For Spontaneity. Right.
That makes sense. And
spontaneity, as we've discussed in our in our couples therapy, is like my favorite thing, my love language.
But is it interesting because some people achieve spontaneity through the preparation. Right.
You know what I'm saying? I know
exactly what you're talking about.
Where you feel comfortable enough. You're like, I've done all of my homework and now I can play. Yeah. Right. Now I have the freedom. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Right. Right.
Right. Whereas like I'm gonna do my homework on the bus on the way to school.
Well see it. Also
fair. Do our homework at all.
Like we we do the homework, but I also love the idea that I don't have to stick to it verbatim.
