0:06
well produced. You know there's going to be an intricate storyline, some some plot that's going to leave you on the
0:12
edge of your seats. I only say this because she has tried and true throughout her career as I've been able
0:18
to witness this have to be. I witnessed this over the years. I've been in spaces
0:23
she didn't even know I was in the corner in the cut looking at her. There go Megan. There go Megan. and to see what
0:29
she's done with her life at such a tender young age. You got to you got to give applause to this. I'm just looking
0:35
at some of the work. I'm looking at some of the work from Eve's Bayou. Give that a round of applause. Come on.
0:43
Give that a round of applause. Oh, you go. All right. Roll Bounce. Yes. Deliver us from evil.
0:49
Yes. Eva. Eva. Think like a man. Yes. Yes. Deception. Anchor man 2. The legend
0:55

1:01
Divorce in the black. Tyler Perry's divorce in the black that had the internet on fire.
1:06
Going crazy. And let's not forget my absolute favorite of all times so far. I haven't
1:13
seen this one yet. Harlem. Come on, man. Come on, man. Come on, man.
1:19
Harlem. Harlem. that took the world and just shook it up and down and all these beautiful black women just came pouring
1:26
down out the sky. Harlem. Harlem. Shout out to our girl Shenikica Shandai who was a guest here. We recruited I
1:33
stalked her Instagram and was like, "Nope, you coming to the show." Period. Period. And she was a little nervous when she
1:39
came up here because she came with her mom cuz Heather stalked her so much. She
1:44
didn't know she was in a safe place. And uh I saved the best uh well I won't say the best for me at least is when she and
1:51
I co-starred. Oh gosh. She was your co-star because you were the star.
1:56
Well, you know I insisted that she be a part of the movie. Okay. Yeah. All right. Uh
2:02
number one in the box office. We talking about Stomp the Yard. Ladies and gentlemen, we got the regal Megan Good
2:10
is here with us today. Megan MG. Hey, that's a real thing.
2:17
That's a real thing. MG MGZ. I didn't know that. MG.
2:22
I like it. I like it. Is that like your your hood name? Like Well, I'm from Santa Clarita, so No, but
2:30
but yes. No, but yes. Megan, when you hear these
2:36
accolades, I know you know them better than me, but when you hear them, do like I I've been able to watch work I did
2:42
years ago from an outside perspective now. I could look at my younger me and look at that
2:48
guy. We were just talking about this the other day and go, "Wow, that dude was really focused. That guy really did well in this
2:55
situation." You do you look at your work like that at all? Sometimes because I think, you know, like as we as we get older, we realize
3:02
just how young we were. Yeah. And so to be able to accomplish so much at such a young age and like you said to
3:08
just be so focused and in it and present and living and experience and learning. I think that's the part of it for me.
3:15
It's it's it's less about the accolades. It's more about the navigating the terrain and the space and the journey.
3:21
Um growing up in this industry and being from where I'm from and staying true to
3:27
myself and and pulling no punches and being unapologetic, all those things. I'm like, how did you do that? cuz you
3:34
was still figuring out who you are, you know, and figuring out who you're not, you know, and so in that sense sometimes
3:40
I'm like, "Good for you, Megan. Good for you, you know." Um, but in terms of seeing myself as an
3:46
actress, that was a little bit harder because I I started so young, you know, I I mean, when you talk about ease by you, that
3:52
was 30 years ago and you know Yeah. And so I I've never
3:58
known anything else. So it's just my life, you know, but but I mean obviously I have the emotional intelligence to
4:04
have perspective, but even still it's it's what I've always experienced. Just been a part of your life. Have you
4:11
I I've said earlier that Megan Good has all we watched you work. You're like a Omar eps or somebody that just
4:18
or a Nia Long certain certain certain actors are are always in our lexicon throughout the
4:25
eras throughout the years. you you transcend and doing great work, you know. But so was there ever I don't know
4:32
a actor who didn't have a downside where things were down like downtime where there was a drought like
4:39
where work wasn't coming in. By the grace of God, I've I think in
4:45
over 30 years, I think there's only been one year where I haven't worked and Wow. What? And that and that that is strictly
4:53
deserves right there in Jesus name. Thank you God. Yeah. Yeah. I can't even you know and
5:00
then obviously there's I mean I may have worked that year but then there's seasons in between where you know it's
5:05
like I've never had any other job. So just finding those jobs or those hosting gigs or whatever it is to keep afloat
5:11
and seasons of you know you have one big movie in theaters but you got nothing in your bank account you know. And
5:17
you you had that happen? So many many times. Megan, good. There was a point since
5:23
you've been working, you didn't have money in your bank account. For sure. For sure. Yeah. Because I mean, you still got to learn how to
5:28
manage your money, who not to let manage your money, um, you know, how to make everything stay as long as it's supposed
5:35
to stay, how to save, all those things. And so, um, you know, again, being a child actor, there's there's a lot that
5:42
you have to learn on the fly. And then you have to make sure you're being led well, you know, and that people are actually telling you the truth. That's
5:48
why you have so many disgruntled child actors when they grow up because people, you know, took their money or took
5:54
advantage of them or led them the wrong way or agents or managers, you know, um were more focused on having them work
6:00
instead of setting them up for the rest of their lives. So, you know, by the grace of God, my mom is incredible and and even where she was
6:07
learning or made mistakes, she was like, "Okay, so I missed this, but I'm not going to miss this this time. I'm going to set you up for this that time." And
6:13
she just, you know, she's a kid, too. Yeah. Raising a bunch of kids. So that's an interesting point. She was a
6:18
kid too, raising a bunch of kids. And when we get older, we start realizing that about our parents, right?
6:25
Give them some grace. Give them some grace. Yeah. Cuz when you get there, when you get to a certain age, you're like, "Wait
6:30
a second. I'm such and such." By the time my mom was this age, she had three kids. Like, how did they do this?
6:36
How did I be looking sometimes, too? Like just like with my sister or whoever or my good friends, I'm like, "They let
6:42
you take that baby home?" Like, and they're not even as young as as our parents were when they had kids, you
6:49
know. So, it was no car seats back then. Nothing. They just took the babies home. Crazy work. Crazy.
6:54
Crazy. Making good is with us. 888 742 3345. You You celebrated a birthday
7:01
recently. How did you celebrate it? I went to Colombia. Okay. [ __ ] Damn, man. That's different
7:08
from going to dinner. My gosh. You went to Colombia? Yeah. because you know I was just like
7:15
well for one you know I've been married for almost 6 months now and congratulations. Thank you.
7:20
She said that like it's like it's been a marathon right there. I've been well it well before this has actually
7:27
been the most amazing time, you know, but um our siblings hadn't met yet. Okay. And so of course I'm like our moms are
7:33
like best friends. They're going to Jamaica together. My Jonathan and my dad are super duper close. I mean my my
7:39
brother-in-law Eric I mean it's a it's a whole romance with them. But um my
7:44
sister and my brother-in-law, my sisters, they hadn't met his sister and his brother yet. And so since we're all
7:49
married, we're like, let's just go to Colombia and have a little family trip. And so we did and we went to Cart Cart
7:55
Cartenega. And it was dope. It just was really, really awesome. Yeah. When you when you travel, do do y'all
8:02
have security? I mean, it's Jonathan Majors and you you know what I mean? Like you first like
8:08
do y'all have security or how do y'all do that? No, we just be incogn. That's it. Just keep your head down and
8:15
keep it moving, you know. Um, and then, you know, if if you lock eyes with somebody, of course, always, you know,
8:22
cuz it it's it's scary for people, too, when they meet you, you know, and so I always want to leave someone with a
8:28
positive experience and and make them feel seen and heard and, you know, that's important because they remember that for the rest of their life. You
8:34
ever met someone that you were like, "Oh, I love them." And they just weren't nice. You just disappointed your whole little
8:39
soul. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've had that happen. Um, salute to Jonathan. U send my love to
8:45
that brother. I love the way I watch y'all love on each other. It's like I can't go on social media
8:51
without seeing them, you know, love on each other, Heather, you know, and that's a good thing. I think it's a beautiful thing. They
8:57
they work out together the whole nine, right? And um that's the thing I like.
9:02
How how does Would you advise working out as a couple to people for
9:07
Absolutely. Well, for us, like, you know, we launched um Honor Culture a few months
9:13
ago, and it was really healing for us to work out together. And there's things
9:18
that you you can do as much therapy as you want to do, as much talking, as much getting with your sibling, your parent,
9:24
whoever, best friend, but there's something that comes from working it out of your body that gets lifted off of
9:29
you. And I I always describe it. It's like, you know, um it's like we don't necessarily need
9:34
anointing oil, but the Lord knows that our brain has to connect to the experience of baptism or whatever it is.
9:40
There's certain things that we have to actually physically do in order for our mind and our spirit and our soul to connect to it. And so, um I'm not
9:47
comparing it to that, but I but I would say like in that realm of of just letting something out of your body that
9:54
you have to physically do in order for it to physically come out of you, um that's what that brought. And and
10:00
then all of us, I mean, it was like a group of 20 of us from, you know, Monnique Brown, Jim Brown is my
10:05
godfather, and he had just passed away. And so Mon'nique started coming and his two youngest children, Aris and Morgan, and
10:11
then Ricky Bell and Amy Bell, and they were in the process of getting pregnant. They're so amazing. Amy been my best
10:17
friend for 28 years. Really? Period. Yes. Yes. Besty, Lala. Mhm.
10:23
Um and then you know my sister and Eric and Eric was going on tour and everybody was just kind of going through their own
10:29
seasons and experiences and it was so healing for all of us. Like there were so many times we would work out and
10:34
afterwards just sit there and actually cry cuz something came off. Yeah. And um so yeah, working out
10:40
together has been monumental. And and then for me, it's like, you know, I'm 44. Like I'm I'm trying to I'm trying to
10:46
finish strong, you know, and I want my body to take me everywhere God wants me to go and we're ready to start a family.
10:53
All those things. So it's like you got to take care of yourself and and the physical aspect is not just physical.
10:58
It's actually mental health, emotional health, all the things. Spiritual health. Yeah. I learned so much from you, Megan. You
11:06
44. I met you when you was in your 20s and it's just to hear you I was like 19 19 like I know like I didn't want to say
11:13
that but that sounds weird now but
11:18
to to hear your evolution is just it's to watch it is for me is it's very gratifying it makes me beyond industry
11:25
and all of that all those things it makes me happy and to hear you say you want to start a family you know and
11:33
you've been married before I didn't hear you say it then or even prior to that.
11:38
Why now? What happened? Um, a lot of things. Uh, one, I just I
11:45
really love doing life with Jonathan. And that's not in comparison to anything else. He's just
11:51
my best friend and we just have so much fun together and we just love to experience life in the same way. And so
11:58
I I don't want to just be like a mom that stays at home with the kid or even that goes and does her career. I want to
12:04
do I want to be a family that travels together and learns together and grows together and experiences things together
12:09
and you know walking through wherever with our kids trapped to our fronts and our back you know and
12:15
and then I also think you know I'm older now I'm in a different place in life I'm a lot more
12:22
um settled and and part of that is just personal growth and then a big part of that is Jonathan and
12:28
um I'm just so it's content is not even the word you know and so It feels I
12:34
think for a long time it was that feeling of like what am I giving up to
12:39
become a parent right now and now I just don't feel like I'm giving anything up. I feel like it's just adds to my life and adds to our
12:46
life and so it's something I'm really really excited about and really excited to do it. Damn. I'mma be a uncle.
12:52
It's true. It's true. I'm going to be a Is it due now or are we are we expecting or y
12:58
still working? We working. I I saw that video clip. You know, y'all was in the gym or something. I thought
13:03
maybe you were expecting, but I didn't see it. Uh, but you're working. No. Yeah, that was you all in a bedroom and business. And
13:11
yes, [ __ ] You don't got to be nice to him, Megan, cuz knew him since he was 19. Your business brother,
13:19
you know, Jonathan's my guy, but I ain't talked to him since he's been a husband.
13:25
you know, uh I will say this though, and I won't linger on it, um because we had
13:30
to talk about a movie. Um but, uh congratulations on how you
13:35
stood by that that man through those those times. I know you've heard this before, but
13:41
it takes a special strong person to be able to navigate through that um
13:47
to show that kind of support and love openly, you know, um unapologetically.
13:53
I know you sacrificed a lot in doing so, but what you demonstrated to a lot of people and I'm sure you got a lot of
14:00
fanfare uh from this is by standing by your partner um through thick and thin.
14:05
What happens behind closed doors might be you might be whooping his ass. Man, why you got me going through the
14:18
Yo, you really Yeah. Get it all in. Megan ain't coming back. [ __ ] this [ __ ] I ain't going to [ __ ] My sister
14:27
the real [ __ ] like you know you know like beyond clothes. I don't I would you know I love how you rep that man
14:33
how you repped each other in public through those times. Yeah. You know and it demonstrated to a lot of
14:40
our audience a different side of love. Yeah. Right. That social media doesn't always
14:45
favor or headlines narratives don't always favor. And for me, you know, I
14:52
thought this was awesome. And I wanted to say as I expressed to you then,
14:57
um, congratulations. I'm proud of you and your resilience. And you a true ride or die,
15:03
right? That's what it is, right? And what I will say too is behind closed doors, I was going through my own things
15:10
as well that weren't on display for everybody to see. and he held me down
15:16
and loved me through in a way that I didn't know in a way that I I would love
15:23
to be loved but had never experienced that kind of
15:29
just unconditional just ride or die on the flip side. And you know, we always
15:34
think it's supposed to be the women, but it's got to be the men, too. And so, um, even though everybody else didn't see
15:39
that, that's what I was experiencing. and you know and I needed that
15:45
you know so if for me to do that for him it it it's it's not nothing but in comparison
15:52
we were there for each other you were there for each other I love that man give that guy a hug for me strong couple boy
16:00
strong muscular couple they are man [Laughter]
16:05
it all in now coming back a whole lot let's talk about this new movie, man.
16:12
Give it up. Megan Good is here. 8887423345. I'll Never let you go.
16:18
I'll Never let you go. Woo boy. Boy, this is about obsession.
16:23
Yes, it is. Speak to it. You Your character puts herself in a scenario. Yeah.
16:29
And lives are at stake. I don't want to give up too much. Go for it. Yeah. I don't want to give up too much either, but but it comes out this
16:35
Saturday at 8:7 central. And this was such a fun character for me because, you
16:40
know, it's like we all think that we've seen this movie or the story before, but when I read this, I was like, "Oh, this
16:46
is hitting different." Okay. Okay. This is going to be fun. And so, um, just the
16:52
experience of her navigating the choices that she made. And then also, you know, understanding that, you know, in
16:59
marriage, people go through all kinds of different things, but her feeling, you know, neglected and her feeling unseen
17:06
and her really trying to reconnect with her husband and and you know, it's like we are emotional creatures. So are
17:11
y'all, but you know, y'all way more emotional. Is that what you're saying? Is that what you mean? No, we just get
17:17
put on blast more and and honestly and we're okay with with what can sound
17:23
crazy because it's just our truth. I feel like men tend to be more logical and let me not speak for the men, but
17:28
y'all tend to be more logical. We I feel like we can acknowledge this may not be logical, but this is how I feel and
17:33
that's not going to change unless we walk through or we talk through or I'm able to communicate it. And so, um, so
17:41
Sway so mad right now. Get him, E. Go ahead. I'm just saying m listen. That's visible.
17:47
You said this is illogical, but so what? This is how I feel. And then and then
17:53
that's where the conflict because we're logical thinkers. Right. Well, also I think men men um sometimes,
17:59
and I can't say all men, but you know, it's like it's it becomes about fixing um fixing it for us instead of listening
18:06
to how we feel. Sometimes all we need is for you to listen. And sometimes we we do need
18:11
um some type of meeting of halfway or even fixing. But it but that conversation is meant to be had with us,
18:18
not y'all go decide how to fix it for us. Okay. Um but anyway, just you know, I'm that
18:23
guy. So I can relate to it. All right, go for it. So um so I just liked that her journey,
18:31
it wasn't cliche. It was so thought through. You know, the writer, Alex, like just really took the time to kind of unfold
18:38
how she got to this space, which which doesn't negate the choice that she made. and ultimately she played herself. But
18:45
you'll see um how it pans out and what actually happens. But it just was so it
18:50
was such a great experience working with Antonio, working with Thomas, you know, working um with Hannah. Like it's just a
18:57
great group of people and just a really fun movie to shoot. So you you play a um you kind of a mil in
19:04
this movie, right? Evidently. Okay. I mean Well, you have a kid in the
19:10
movie, right? I do. He's off to college. Yeah. who's off to college. So that makes you millfish.
19:15
I'll take it. I'll take it. Milfish. I mean, clearly that's how it pans out. So, is that a bad term, John? Is that a bad
19:21
No, it's still is it still positive terms American pie lifetime? But but it's it still works.
19:27
It still works. Nobody's going to believe it. Like, I mean, how how was that for you? Like playing a
19:33
Thank you. But have you seen these mamas nowadays? I mean, most most of them is holding it together better than the babies is that's in their 20s. So, okay.
19:40
You know what I'm saying? Let's be different. Let's be honest. It's different. All you do is take care of yourself. But but how do I feel um
19:47
playing a college mom? Yeah. Good. Because you know, it's it's so
19:52
interesting. I don't have any kids yet, but I I feel like a mother to many. Like I have a lot of young girls that I
19:58
call like not a lot of young girls, but I have some special young girls that I call my sister daughters, you know, that that I absolutely adore
20:04
that I have that dynamic with. Um, and then again, you know, like looking at Mon'nique Brown, you know, it's like
20:11
she's she's, you know, was like a a sister mom to me, you know what I mean? And like, um, so
20:16
yeah, I I don't mind the dynamic because I feel like there's something wonderful about being able to communicate with
20:23
your kids or your nieces or whatever or nephews. Um, where you still remember
20:28
what it's like to experience a lot of things that they're experienced. Like you're not so far removed from it
20:33
emotionally. And it doesn't have to be an age thing. It could just be holding on to your childlike joy and like awareness of that part of yourself. And
20:39
so that's something I I plan to do, you know, even no matter what age um I am
20:45
when my kids get to college. So Megan, good, bro. What are you reading? What are you reading right now? You
20:50
reading anything? The Bible. The Bible. Okay. All right. Um but yeah, I read I read. It's interesting because
20:56
I I rarely finish anything, but I read a lot of things. Yeah. I'm just like looking at Megan. You you
21:02
you you know you when you say you're settled now. I I I get that. I see it. I see it, man.
21:07
Cuz you seen all versions. I've seen all versions. I'm like, "No, you I'm about to get formal with you right now." But I love it. I love it
21:14
because you're you're um you're you're very forthcoming. Like you're
21:19
very transparent. Yeah. And when a person is like that, we can help. We cannot help but to learn,
21:26
right? And so it's fun learning something new about a person you've known for a long time. You know, you
21:33
you'll learn from me eventually. You know, one day when we get off the mic, you we'll sit down. You get to learn me a
21:39
little more. You know, um good is here. 8887423345.

That's what's up, man. You got a question, Davis? That's See, that's interesting. I do. I was wondering about what you
22:15
think about child acting. The ethics of it, the morality of it.
22:22
Um, I think it depends, you know. I think that everybody has a different
22:27
experience. I think that in some cases it can be a dangerous space if you don't
22:33
have parents that don't necessarily want to be actors and have their own and and
22:39
want to allow you to pursue something you're passionate about at whatever capacity you want to, not the capacity
22:44
they want you to. Um, I think it's important to have mentors. I think it's
22:50
important to to without judging anyone to not be so focused on being a
22:55
celebrity or whatever it is, but being more grounded in in how you can use it
23:01
the platform or or being able to just do the art or creatively expressing
23:06
yourself or any of those things. And so I think it it depends on a lot of things, nature and nurture. Um,
23:13
yeah, I I wouldn't say that I wouldn't advise it, but I feel like you just have to have a a really strong support system
23:19
and people who love you unconditionally. No matter what, you know, twist and turns your career takes or whether you
23:26
continue to pursue it or whether you become the biggest star in the world, you just have to have people who really love you and and want to see you
23:33
fulfilled in a way that's not just about being a celebrity or being famous, but more about, you know, whatever it is for
23:39
you. David, that was a great question, by the way, man. You make me you make me make me proud, bro. You're a super
23:46
citizen. All right, I swear in the morning. Okay. Hey, HB. I'm sorry. I feel like I hauled the interview so far, man. It's
23:51
not an interview with me. No, it's not an interview catch up. And I think Yeah, it's just so much um has
23:58
has been learned and I, you know, I feel I'm happy for your peace. Thank you. If that makes sense. You know, I'm I'm
24:04
happy for your peace. Um I mentioned Harlem earlier though, and this this will be my only question. I know you
24:10
can't say much, but I'm hoping as a huge fan of it, it will there sort of maybe
24:16
possibly be a movie. You know how they did with Sex in the City and after the series went off, they came with a movie,
24:24
right? I think everybody deserves that. Okay. You know, that's all I needed. Thank you. That that but that but I but I think
24:30
like if we started a petition or something like that because they need to know if the fans want to see it, you
24:36
know, and and I think it is owed to the fans. So, it's owed to the fans. Shout out to Tracy Oliver and and Britney the bomb.
24:43
Britney's one the writers. Yes. Amazing. Um Tasha Smith. That last
24:48
episode. Oh my gosh. The directing y'all just really I've had so many of my friends and
24:55
family members um women of color lat like just watching Harlem. Wasn't
25:00
familiar with it at first and then got into it and just loved every single
25:06
aspect of it. the way it was shot, seeing Jasmine Guy, you know, come out,
25:11
just everything, girl. It was just beautiful. The shapes, the sizes, the colors, and so yeah, I'm down to start
25:17
the petition. Like, I just think y'all did an amazing job. Every every Harlem the movie. Harlem the movie.
25:24
Harlem the movie. Yes. Yes. The movie. Your character got pregnant, right? Her did. Her did.
25:31
And got back with her means. That's right. It's just life imitating art or art imitating life.
25:37
Well, it's interesting because there there's definitely a part of that and where, you know, Camille initially did
25:43
not want to have kids. That's right. And and I loved like, you know, me and Tam would talk about that a lot, you know, cuz oftent times when someone says
25:49
they don't want to have kids, people go, "What's wrong with her?" Like, "What kind of abuse or what kind of dam trauma?" And I'm like, "Not
25:55
everybody has had trauma or abuse around that. Some people that's just not what they want." Mhm. Um, and and I loved that she got to
26:02
explore that. And then when she ended up being the one pregnant the next year, it allowed me to ask myself some questions
26:10
about, you know, why have I waited this long? And and not that it's super long time, but longer than some.
26:15
Um, and and what was actually going on inside of me and and what fears that I
26:20
potentially have or, you know, or if there isn't any fear or any trauma around it, just what is what is the
26:26
space I'm in and why? And so in unpacking that for Camille and realizing, yeah, there was fear of like,
26:33
am I going to be a good mom, you know, or am I gonna things that you're not allowed to say out loud. Am I going to
26:38
do this and then feel like I don't really want to do this and then I can't get out and now I'm stuck and committed because I got to raise,
26:44
you know, and then I and then also I know I'm going to do an excellent job. I'm going to give all of myself to it. And so before I give all of myself to
26:50
something, is that what I want to step into? you know, and so um those kind of questions and I could I can honestly say
26:56
a lot of it stems from being a child actor where you know it's like you you initially until you're old enough to
27:02
speak for yourself and to say here's what I want, here's what I don't want. Your parents are doing a lot of that for
27:07
you. And so, um, you feel, at least I felt like up until I was about 19, like
27:13
I didn't have full autonomy over what I wanted to do and how I wanted. I had autonomy over being an actress because I
27:18
wanted to be an actress and I was there cuz I wanted to be, but still there was a part of me that
27:23
was afraid to speak up if I didn't like this, you know, if I didn't like my hair, if I didn't like my makeup or I think the character just doesn't really
27:29
make sense or like it it's not, you know, for for her journey. And I didn't learn to speak up into those things
27:34
until I was like 20, early 30s. And so I think that a part of me wanting to just
27:41
live the life that I want to live without any responsibility except for the one that I choose um was really
27:48
important to me for a long time and I knew that that having a kid would change that completely. And so
27:54
um yeah, Harlem allowed me to explore that. And then by the time I came out of it,
27:59
I also realized I was in a place of um life transitioning in such a big way
28:06
that it changed me in such a big way and made me aware that I was even stronger
28:11
than I knew I was. And so um yeah I grew I grew up a lot with Camille even though
28:16
I started Camille at 39 38 you know but in a lot of ways I
28:22
grew up with her. So yeah it that art imitating or life imitating that art.
28:27
Yeah. Do did so you had this process that you went through and asking
28:33
yourself the big questions but you know takes two to tangle when it comes to a kid. Did you did Jonathan and
28:39
you have to have did he had to have that conversation with himself, you know, and and did y'all have to talk about it?
28:44
Um, no. Jonathan is a straightup Texas boy like just Oh, they breed, huh?
28:50
First of all, we have not even that. No, no. I mean I mean he he is
28:57
it it doesn't have to be that complex. Okay. He's an excellent father. We already have a daughter, you know. Um, and you
29:05
know, Ella is is 12 and it's like he already is a fantastic father and knew
29:10
that he wanted more kids. And when we first started like talking talking like that it was like I mean one of the first
29:17
things I asked him I was like do you want kids and do you want to get married and this is that he was like I absolutely do. Do you d we had a very re
29:23
real adult conversation about are we going in the same direction and do we want the same things? M um and so even though I already knew by
29:30
the time we had had that conversation, I was able to unpack a lot of it and explore a lot of it, but he's always
29:35
been on board and ready and excited about it and um yeah, so I've always
29:41
been excited about it, but I think I'm just now ready. Yeah, I love this. Megan, good is here, man. I
