Working together as spouses, what are you guys willing to share about your relationship on this podcast, or is this more so about you interviewing your celebrity friends and then maybe dispersing some of your own personal experience into that? And what would people be the most surprised to learn about you both individually and as a couple through this podcast?

MPM: I think that this podcast is mostly about Raven and I — and our guests are these wonderful little cherries on top. This is really letting people in on our lives, our perspectives, our views, our thoughts, our conversations. And again, part of why I thought Raven and I would be great having a podcast is because I love the conversations that we have. We typically have very different ideas of how something should go. We see different sides of the coin. So we’ll have these healthy debates. And I always took something away from them that left me going, ‘Oh, this is really interesting.’ Which then on a bigger scale made me think, wow, it would be really cool to have other people listen and give their opinions or have their own thoughts shift a little bit, which kind of circles back to your cancel culture question when it comes to conversations and topics.

I don’t really think that cancel culture is the best thing. I think that when people say things that are not deemed as okay or appropriate or correct, that is the best time to offer education. It’s a learning opportunity if it’s handled appropriately. If somebody can go, ‘Wow, okay, I spoke out of this place of ignorance, but I now am learning why what I said isn’t okay or why I have this belief and why I’m judging this person. And now I’m understanding that that’s actually fear in myself. That’s making me have this view and I can heal that or open myself up to something.’ That is the most amazing thing. So I want our conversations, whether they’re about what we ate yesterday or arguments that we have within our marriage, to be open and authentic and real. And I think that our listeners will, over time, get to know us better and better. It’s not like we have this set path, so I can’t really say to you whether this is what you’re going to learn about us or not, I think you’ll learn different things just by listening as we open up and share more and more or think more and more.
