Thank you for 1,000 listens to Married Under the Influence! We are so happy to have you here! It feels appropriate to celebrate with a beer from one of our favorite breweries, Cushwa Brewing in Williamsport, MD! Cheers! 

John and I are trying to eat healthy. We legitimately text about it during the days. So when Kelsey posed a question to John about drinking calories or eating calories for the rest of our lives, it only made sense to tackle a fun game on the podcast: “Would You Rather: Hangry Edition.” Play along with us on Instagram! [00:00 – 20:28]

Shaquille O’Neal has gnarly hair after losing a bet. (Oh speaking of hair, John’s mustache is still sticking around, despite Kelsey’s wishes.) A kid named Snacks is living the dream after an epic three-point shot. And most importantly – join us on our ESPN Bracket Challenge “MarriedUnderTheInfluence”! It’s free to join and play along, and the winner will get a free NYC beer sent to them by us! [20:29 – 27:16] 

We are sending our love and prayers to Nashville after devastating tornados this week. We finished Love Is Blind on Netflix, and couldn’t have predicted which couples would still be together at the end of the season. We talk Hilary Duff’s plea to sell her Lizzie McGuire reboot to Hulu. Are reboots successful or unsuccessful twenty years after their initial airing? Would Friends be as good if it came back for a whole season? The Dixie Chicks are back, and now their opinions seem to have a place in a new technological world of social media. Lastly, we are still #TeamMadison as Pilot Pete tries to follow his heart on The Bachelor, and we are excited for Clare as The Bachelorette. (Also excited that The Bachelor chose to tackle hate speech in a profound way.) [27:17 – 47:30] 

Thanks for being here, cheers!
