Married Under The Influence

In an effort to know ourselves better as well as be better partners, we took the Enneagram Test. We not-so-surprisingly find out that we were both Type 3 Achievers, but we also dive into our secondary types as the Perfectionist and the Giver. We took our (free) test on Truity for those that want to find out their types!  [00:00 - 15:59]

We discuss which Gatorade flavor is best, but all in the name of football prop bets. Kyle Shannahan decided he was going to be one of the refs in his Conference Championship game, and it ended up paying off. Derek Jeter is now a Hall of Fame Player but one bitter Betsy tried to keep him off the list. Zion Williamson makes his NBA debut and we decide if he could still be eligible for Rookie of the year. [16:00 - 26:29]

Jennifer Aniston won an award, gave a gracious speech, but somehow all we can talk about is Brad Pitt's reaction to it. Kelsey watched a 'Cheer' docu series on Netflix and now all she wants to do is make the mat. We finished 'The Circle' and still will forever be Team Shooby. Pilot Pete puts one of his girlfriends on the spot in front of all the other women because he is clearly not here to mess around, and John took a commanding lead in the Bachelor Draft standings after Kelsey lost three girls in one night. [26:30 - 36:32]

Every year after the very first rose ceremony, we draft the remaining cast members in a Bachelor Fantasy Draft. One rose for your player means one point for you. A group date rose, or receiving the rose on a one-on-one means a bonus point, and drafting the final player standing means five extra bonus points. First picks went to Madison and Hannah Ann for Peter's season, but see who landed where on this 2.5 episode. The most dramatic episode of Married Under the Influence yet.

In this episode, we talk about Goals and Intention Setting for the new year. We've paired the activity of intentional Goal Setting with a weekend getaway for the last few years now, and we talk about why it's so important to take that time away to write down and manifest those specific goals each year. We discuss personal goals, goals as a couple, and what adult beverage tends to make our goals more ambitious. [00:00-14:29]

We get into NFL Conference Championship picks, why we feel bad for Lamar Jackson of the Ravens, and the shocking MLB cheating scandal. You mean beating on Trash Cans isn't just something people do on Broadway's STOMP? [14:30-24:52]

The Oscar nominations are officially out, and we have some thoughts about the snubs this award season. We're also still crying over the big Jeopardy upset. A new social media competition show on Netflix called The Circle has us completely obsessed and staying up way passed our bed time. And of course, we talk Bachelor recap featuring the soiling of the good Kelsey name, #ChampagneGate, and who is currently in the lead for our Bachelor Draft standings. [24:53-38:56] 

It's nice to meet you! Ever since an interesting experience at an interactive art exhibit in NYC, we've been eager to start our own podcast. This week we wanted to introduce ourselves and our personal passions, and in future weeks we'll discuss some of our favorite marriage tales. [00:00 - 7:42]

Sports allegiances are revealed as we chat about Tom Brady's potential retirement, the Cowboys' new head coach, and make our official picks for NFL Divisional Playoffs. [7:43 - 21:54]

Pop the champagne, it's pop culture time! We talk Golden Globes, Jeopardy Greats of All Time, and The Bachelor, including our front runners and a sneak peek into our Bachelor brackets. [21:55 - 38:06]
