You wanted to marry me on Facebook the first time we messaged on Facebook. On Facebook. You left that part out, bro. Yeah. Guilty is charged. She pucks you and you're like, marry me. What's up, everybody? Welcome back to a couple things.

With Sean and Andrew. A podcast all about couples. And the things they go through. The things? I did say that weird. Yes. Today we have an exciting one because. It is their first ever podcast.

So we are honored to have Christy and Desmond. The Scots is probably how you know them on social media. And as Sean alluded to, this was surprising to me because they are big time. Yes. I can almost guarantee you seeing some of their videos. But they've never done an interview. So we sat down with them and had a delightful conversation. We even pulled out, I think, a couple of Desmond's classic laugh.

We did. We didn't get like the full one, which I was. a little bummed about, but you get, you get glimpses. I think we have every Instagram video of they're saved on our phones because of their humor, their lightheartedness within their relationship and just their dynamics. So we had to ask them questions. Yeah, the Scott started off doing a wedding film business together. And then during quarantine, you'll hear they shared their story about how they got into social media and making these hilarious videos. I wouldn't call them prank videos. They're more just couples comedy, which is great. And we draw a lot of inspiration

for our videos from them. So we're glad to have a conversation with them, glad to be connected with them. And if you want to watch some of the Scott's videos yourself, then we'll link their information down below. But without further ado, we bring you Christy and Desmond Scott. All right. Well, Christy, Desmond, thank you so much

for taking the time to join us. It's an honor to have you. Sean has been talking about you nonstop for the past couple months. And I don't know how I feel, Desmond. She says you have the best laugh, which I'm not trying to get territorial about my laugh. But I, you know, I don't.

I can't make it out with you guys eventually, you know. It's a mess. I can't believe that this is kind of like, yeah, this is kind of your coming out interview. Like, you guys are here, this massive, like, online presence. And I'm sure there's just, you know, the Conan O'Brien show and Jimmy Fowl and all reaching out to you. But you have decided. Turn all these people down. Yeah.

Maybe later, right? Speaking of celebrities, you have. however many tens of millions of followers, probably in aggregate. Are there any celebrity followers that you have that you were surprised to see? Oh, yes. Okay, our first one I could think of from the top of my head is the artist her, obsessed. Oh, nice. And she, yeah, when I noticed she was following or I'll say this,

I guess she's not following, but she comments on our content. And we DMed that we went to her concert. What? That was amazing. So that would be like the top on the list for me. Yeah, I think what? Like same boat? Doesn't he follow you? Did he follow me or did he just comment on our stuff? No, I was on Instagram. Either way, incredible. Yeah, don't quote us though. Maybe he's not lost.

Maybe he jumped out of there. He probably heard me laugh. He was like, no, I'm going to go ahead and unfollow. I can't deal with it It is interesting though How the world of social media Can make the world feel so small In like a good way Like you'll post a video

And it's like oh Usain Bolt literally just saw this And commented on it How is that even possible How did you guys get into social media How did you get into Being basically everyone's Humor Entertainment every day

Like everyone Quarantine Like we would post some stuff On social media Like every now and then before the pandemic happened, but like when quarantine started, I just started posting like every day and getting this cool. And once this guy started to laugh and just be his normal crazy self, it started to like kind of blow up. So yeah, it's kind of crazy. I think, you know,

everyone was home. We were spending a lot of time at home and we actually had already been working from home. So it's like kind of normal for us to be there, but we just kind of started dabbling with things and it kind of just took off from there so you guys are filmmakers by trade right yeah and are you still doing that yeah so um i've slowed down a lot um yeah i'm being real selective on the weddings and things that i take uh even commercial work but yeah slow down a lot you know it's it's just one of the things you can't stretch yourself too many ways there's only only one me it's really busy yeah when we first started doing it we were doing like a lot of events a year um and And then once social media took off, we were like, okay, like, we can't do all of these things at once.

I got to ask, I don't want to start a fight here. But which of you is more creative? Because it seems like both of you are just creative gurus. I guess it depends on what space. No, I was waiting for you to answer just to see if we're going to start a fight. I don't know. No, yeah, I does depend on the space. Yeah, I'll give it to you, though.

Okay. I'm like, okay, I'm curious, though, coming from being a filmmaker and having that, I don't want to say be on the back burner to your guys' like social content now, they're two basically the same, but polar opposite styles where you come from like such a perfection, like cinematography. Highly produced. Yeah. How do you balance that within posting? Is it kind of like a, oh, you just like cringe and you're like, oh, I'll post a raw video from my iPhone or is it? It was like that at first.

You know, it's interesting. So with our cinematography and things like that, Christy actually started. I was not interested at all. And eventually I decided to kind of help out and get involved. And I fell in love with it and kind of took it over and it became my thing. But, you know, there's so many. that I think are important to what she does now and what we do, I mean, editing and things like that. She kind of already was into that, you know, she already knew the ins and outs of editing and things like that,

whether it was for YouTube or it was for TikTok Instagram. And so it definitely made it easier, like from editing with the film business to what we do now. But like you said, it's so opposite. Like, it's so like, because we're just on the whim, like editing and, you know, everyday lifestyle while yeah like the wedding stuff he's like very intricate with that process but i mean for like the film business he does that editing and for social media i do it so it's kind of like you know the half and half trade i guess yeah so i mean i guess we're we have two different train of thoughts whenever we're doing it so for me it's like this is someone's memories it's a big day i'm trying to make sure that this is spot on in every sense and chris is kind of building something a little

different when she got his story. Like I don't think he's edited. You haven't edited not one like social media video. Wow. Okay. So this might I'm very curious. I have a thousand questions. Because you guys come from like wedding filmmaking. Your whole your whole background is telling a love story and sharing people's memories. Now that you're actually filming yourself in your own marriage. Yeah. Are you guys authentically coming up with content and trying to to edit it in a way that is a memory for people, like, do you have that still creative mindset of how can we show a marriage in a funny, lighthearted way? Or is it just truly what happens in your household every single day that you're sharing? Yeah, it's very on the whim, but it's also

planned. Like I look and I'll see like what inspires me. I'll go on TikTok and I'll scroll and I'll see like what content makes me laugh. And if it's something funny that I could do on Desmond, like Immediately, yes. Like, I do it as soon as possible. I'm always the... Wait, and then... Somehow I'm going to get caught in a steam. I was to say, Desmond, how, what percentage I have to know is, like, authentic reaction?

And what percentage is like, oh, I know she's doing something? Let me throw it on. It's so hard to say because it's like, even before we got involved with TikTok, social media, whatever. Christy has always been the same person. Wow. That's terrifying. Believe me, TikTok or Instagram, it didn't start any of this. And so we, I mean, we have a very playful by nature relationship.

And I mean, nowadays, it's like, sometimes I'm like, man, I didn't see a phone there on this one. Where did you get me, you know? But it's like, in the back of my head, I always know it could be something going on. Sometimes I'm so wrapped up in what I'm doing, whether it's the kids or working and editing, that if she calls me in there or I'm cooking and I'm like, what's going on and she hits me with something, I don't have time to think about that. You know, I don't have time. Is she getting me right now? Yeah. No, I can see the look at his eyes, though, when he realizes that it's like something I'm pulling on him.

Like, I can see, like, and no one else would know it because, I mean, they don't know him as well as I do, but I can see when he realized it's, okay. it is it's like yeah but desmond's like his personality like that is his personality to be over the top like that so i think over the top look at that but um but yeah he definitely knows i'm pulling one over him a lot of the time Desmond i don't want to get too personal but uh who cut your hair man i the best bar it's clean i'm looking crazy right now this is about four days out but on day one man i'm i'm a sight wait how often do you get your haircut once every week or two what yeah i didn't get on that regimen yeah wow dang you got to do it when you're getting you're getting recorded and something crazy is going to happen to you i'm like man can't catch me slipping well not only that

We don't call us out or call him not. Oh, yeah. We're not, or, you know. They've torn me up before. They're like, oh, man, look at the back of his head. Look at that. I'm like, no, we got to go get you like that again. Yeah.

Well, so we pretty much, we found a lot of inspiration in your guys' content. Pretty much if you scroll through our feed, it's just going to be a shadow of the Scots. But the two things that are different is your appearance is way cleaner. and your lighting is way better. So just to put that out there. You guys met on, I don't know, the prehistoric version of Tinder or Facebook. Is that what we're talking about? Tell us the story.

Tell us the story here. I just, I got a poke one day and I said, oh, wow. The pokes. I forgot about the pokes. Yes, Facebook, there was a poke and she poked me. as clear as that sounds. Wow.

Yeah. And I mean, that stemmed off to, you know, talking. We had mutual friends. This was high school. And so that kind of migrated into talking, messaging. Our first date was at the movie theater.

Yeah. I remember, like it was yesterday, I was so nervous. I came in and I saw her and she saw me. I walked over and I gave her, like, one of these, like, you know, being, even the nice, like, nervous. A sign-hug.

Because I was just being out, I was kind of magical just like, give me nervous, you know. She's like, you better give me a real hug. And I said, okay. I said, this is, this is good. You always say that part, but you don't say all of your part. I did. He wanted to marry me on Facebook the first time we messaged on Facebook. You left that part out, bro.

Guilty is charged. She pokes you and you're like, marry me. Yeah, right? Yeah. And I was already married to someone on Facebook. So he wanted me to like unmarried that guy and marry him. And you did so. I did.

I did. You guys were married on Facebook then. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. That was 2010. Dang. Yeah, we were.

We were kids. Yeah, so I'm still here. You hadn't got rid of me yet. so first day went well and you just hit the ground running yeah that was that was great i mean obviously school is crazy so around the time we graduated high school we kind of went our step ways college and whatnot and then found ourselves at a gathering between mutual friends and we're like oh hey what's what's going on okay he was actually testing me for months months to try and calling and hitting me up on all socials.

And so, yeah, when we were in person, I was like, ah, you. Definitely wasn't like that. She was just like, it was one of those double take moments, you know? We did get back together at that when we got met up at that mutual event, but. And then what, about a year later, I proposed, eight months, after that, we were married. Yeah. I was 20, Christmas 19.

Yeah. Yeah, we got married very young. But it was like, wouldn't change it any other way. Like, I'm not saying I would enforce everyone else to get married at that age, but for us, it worked out. Desmond, no offense, from here and out,

Christy's going to be kind of reciting the memories because it's way different versions of the story we're getting here. It is not. I'll be a little biased, you know. I win all the one I can. What was the movie that you guys first to see? I don't even remember. Oh, but I do have a movie ticket somewhere. I did keep the movie

tickets. Yeah, that's right. I'm so curious. I can find it. Yeah. I mean, I don't, I think we spend multiple of time just talking and stuff. I mean, like, we're those annoying people at the movie theater who you don't want to be around. Yeah. You get Desmond's laugh just absolutely ruining the audio for the, like everything. We haven't been to the movie theater in so long, but when we used to go regularly, like his laugh would echo in there. Like other people would laugh when he laughed. It's infectious, that's for sure. So within your like the TikTok, Instagram entertainment, what a couple questions back to back?

One, what does it like taught you about your guys' I can't form words right now? You got this, babe. Okay. What is it taught you guys about? your marriage and like relationship and within kind of your journey through it we've learned this firsthand what kind of boundaries have you had to set within sharing your life and your stories and your memories with the world i i think that at the beginning like we were so bored at home like it was video after video after video i think that being that intense like literally

filming all day every day was way too much for us like now at this point we don't film every day like I will probably without a phone of just a couple times a week it really just depends but at the beginning we're doing like four or five tic-tok today like whether it was like this little dancing tic-toks like those movie tic-toks and that was cool but after like a certain point like you just cannot live like that like you can't be trying to stay on the trends every single day I think that was like too much for us yeah because it because then you know, which at the end of the day, I don't think a lot of people realize, but it's work, you know, keeping up with the community and what they're enjoying and just putting out

content is work. And if you overwork yourself, you start to fill the effects of it. And so I think definitely we realized that we had to strike a balance. And I think we found a great one. Yeah. And I don't know, from a boundary perspective, it's like, for example, I think sometimes, you know, some of the viewers want to say, hey, attach a camera to your forehead and walk around all day and just show us everything. But, you know, I think that there, it's, I think it's a good thing to have some areas of, like, private and, you know, being able to say, hey, I'm going to step away and, like, actually enjoy life, whether that's with kids, I mean, and with each other, you know, everything isn't necessarily. Yeah, everything doesn't have to be filmed. Exactly. Yeah.

I think that's really wise and that's that's kind of it's so tempting in a work like you want to document the fun parts but in the process of documenting you have like less fun parts because you're so worried about like I got to edit this and whatever and anyway you don't want that to get out of whack so I think it's a practice that that comes to be and you'll get you'll get better and better at it but I'm curious uh I watched the video Christy of your an anniversary dinner, freaking epic, with the creepy, like, scary voice narrating the whole thing. But it was like in some, I don't know, apartment or something with a jazz band player, like a chef, that being the expectation that we're going to be working off of, how did Desmond propose? Oh. Actually, no, you did a really great proposal. it was it was really um i think intimate you know i had i had been planning it for a while and i mean it was definitely something that we had already been talking about like hey like that's

something we want for life you know something we want to to work towards and so one night um you know i had to i had to fight christie to get her nails done in a house like hey i called them on was like hey go get christie and take her out to go get her nails done like yada yada yada and you know i did all these things to kind of get her self-prepped. I'm like, yeah, go get your hair done. We should go out for a date this weekend. You know, let's just get done up and have a good time. We went out to this really nice restaurant in the city,

which I don't speak to see anymore. But I had my family or my parents and her parents in a private room. And we just kept it small and it's between us. So I walked her upstairs. What did you say? What did you say? I didn't. I'm not going there.

He said, well, welcome to Paris. Oh, like. It wasn't even like a Parisian restaurant. The room was. The room was. He said, oh. Well, you put it out there. She put it out there.

It was cute, but it's something I won't forget. Yeah. And so brought her inside. She started looking like what? And then by the time she turned around lifted me. I was on me. I gave it my spill. And she started making the ring out the box.

And I was like, Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. The only guy yanked the ring out the box is because he just stood there. And he was a, you know, you take it out, you put on her finger.

But he just stood there. And I was like, you got to tell me, yeah. Well, I put it out. She didn't want to speak with words. I'll take that. It was a matter of action.

Wow. I will say, though, within proposals, this is kind of been a common theme. And I even remember it with ours. it's hard as the girl to like say something yeah it's like uh it's hard as the guy dude i don't know if you were nervous desmond but i was freaking out oh man nervous would be an understated like the whole time i was pacing wait for ever even arrived like my heart was just like

i'm serious ideal you know it's just bouncing yes i will say though i i definitely had an inkling because we talked about all the time that we wanted to marry each other. So I knew it was coming. But when I just randomly was like invited to get my nails in here done, and I was not like a nails person at that time, like, I was like, yeah, something's happening. I feel like the nails part is always a dead giveaway. It's like, oh, I haven't talked to this friend in a year, but she's taking me to get my nails done. Okay.

Yeah. I mean, but it's one of those things that's like, hey, you know, slide it in there somehow or the one that you chipped during the day that day is going to be sitting there with a ring on and you take that picture and it's like, oh man, you know, so I did what I had to do. I did it what I had to do. So working together with your spouse is a unique privilege, we'll say. And I feel like a lot of people talk about, oh, you know, it's hard in this way or that way. But we actually spoke with, I don't know if you've seen like the foam house, Kelsey and Caleb Fulmer. on TikTok. They're also funny. I mean, not trying to, not trying to make you guys territorial,

but they actually made a, they made an interesting observation where it's like working Taylor has actually revealed qualities in the other person that otherwise they wouldn't be able to appreciate. So is there anything that you've seen in each other through spending all day, every day, including work that has brought out? Well, first I'll say, 90% of the time you're working with your mate, your mate is amazing. 10%. That 10%, that percent is interesting.

So I was saying something I've noticed with you working together. Because I mean, with social media, yeah, we worked together, but we've been working together for years now with the film business. So I think it was a battle of his boss. Oh, man. In both, in both, like, occupations. Oh, yeah. The bill business, since I started,

I automatically felt like I was boss. But then he took it over and became amazing and became better than me at it. So then he was like, no, I'm boss. And then we go to weddings and shut up. Yeah, we go to the wedding. So I'd be like, well, I'm in charge. And he's like, well, I'm in charge.

I'm like, and I'd be like in the quarter, like, mad and upset. And so that was funny. And then with social media, like, obviously I'm talking about. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, there was a fight on his boss at the beginning with other business. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, especially. I mean, it's mostly we go to wedding and I'm like, hey, I need you to go and do this and she's looking at me like, I need you to go do that. Yeah. I'm looking at her like, okay, I'm going to go. I'm going to go do that. I'm going to go do that right quick.

Yeah. That was interesting. I mean, and really, I think we work really well together. And, I mean, I don't know. We like spending the time together. And sometimes it might get that 10% as she mentioned. It might get a little crazy. Yeah, I know.

But for the most part, I mean, I think like anyone should. Yeah. You know, I think we both have a lot of pride in the work that we do do. We're very proud of it. Christy works really hard and I feel like if I worked really hard as well and so with that I think you know it's it's easy to say okay I but kind of become territorial and say this is my thing like I got this I need you to do this for me because I'm rocking the show here well at this point I like I mean honestly it's your thing I don't I don't really do that portion of business anymore but

I think it took time to like let us get into our own little area of our businesses and like yeah with social media like i don't have not one app on my phone i don't i don't even deal with it that's just her thing so i let her ask you don't have any social media on your phone none what i have a facebook i have nothing really i respect that well tell me what's the philosophy man i don't have that kind of time i would spend hours laughing on ticot or i just don't have that type of yeah and it's like you know sitting there just going like this with those starts having arthritis and it's called because of the side I just couldn't and really after and now before I stopped you know

dealing with social media before you even started doing yeah what you do now and so it's just just the time wasting like I'm already one of those people like with editing I'll edit for 10 minutes maybe 15 minutes and then I'm like okay I need something to take my mind off and then I'll come back to it and so it's like I'm trying to I will I was trying to work on time management then. So I just never got back into it. Wow. Well, congrats on your mental health, Desmond.

Yeah. Yes. I feel like we get all learned from that. Yeah. I will say, though, you guys are, I said this earlier, you guys are known for humor. Your laugh, your laughter, your dynamic between your relationship has kind of branding yourself as the humor couple to a certain extent helped your relationship. Has it, like, encouraged more humor within your relationship?

I think we've always just been crazy. Like, off the whole, like, crazy. Like, I would say it hadn't changed. It hadn't changed. It's a good reflection, I guess, of kind of who we are. But I would say working together in general has helped us learn each other better. And, I mean, as every couple, like, you argue at times that I would say that, like, with working together, we've learned. we've learned, like, how to be in a relationship and not have, like, you know, I don't know how to

my words aren't coming off. Like, we've learned, with working together, we've learned each other enough to be able to be in a happier relationship without as many arguments as compared to maybe at the beginning of marriage. Yeah. So, I don't know, would that even answer to the question? That kind of, went off to the attention. No, I come up with time, and I think that's really the biggest factor but we are we are the way you see us maybe online is really how we are throughout the entire day like we like crack up and if some of the stuff that actually goes along and we don't capture it what's to go on like you guys would probably be like oh they're crazy crazy because we're laughing and having a good time all the time and i mean christie told me all the time i'm the funniest

person she knows I'm like that felt like a strong eye roll there I'm curious because not every couple is like this and it seems like that truly is just who you guys are but if you were going to take a step back and observe your habits or patterns of how you inject humor or like these the pranks are like a fun, playful, you know, event in a day that kind of breaks up, even if there's an argument or some disagreement. How would you recommend someone who's not naturally inclined to be like that to start? Like, are you, Chrissy, always thinking about, hey, you know, I'm trying to disrupt his normal routine anytime I can, or I'm trying to do, like, is there anything that you're consciously thinking about, like habits that you've formed?

Yeah, well, for me, I would say, well, I mean, just to throw it out there, we're obviously, like, not, you know, 100% like happy all the time. Like, we're a normal couple. But I would say that doesn't it is a little bit hoochier than I am, but I think advice I would give to other people, being more lighthearted. And I've had to tell myself that, too, like just in life in general, being more lighthearted towards things, not over thinking too much. And I think if you implement that in a relationship, like, you'll realize, like, not everyone's out to get you. Like, not every, you know,

except for me, you know, I'm always tough. And it's so funny, because I feel like, in one sense, when it comes to that, like, me, I'm the type of person, like, I can get mad. And within two seconds, like I want to play so I need to figure out a way to make things playable and then there's Chris who's like oh no you made me mad until you fix the problem or you say sorry like we're not going to yeah yeah so I mean I think we balance each other really well yeah and the reason I say like you're superior than me I say it in like a positive way because it's like he's taught me to not kind of be so like you know I used to be really tense I guess all the time and overthink things and I feel like Desmond has taught me like hey like let it go like go day by day and you know

be like lighthearted like you said so I mean did that dynamic of lightheartedness change with kids because I feel like it's so much different being married to a co-parent you know what I'm saying it's like hey this is not funny the freaking kid needs a lunch box packed like you know what I'm saying like whatever it is yeah no kids definitely change the dynamic I mean kids are amazing you love them the debt but they'll work and sometimes it can get just really stressful it can get crazy i mean when you got two of them screaming at the top of their lungs and you get each other like amen like i changed that last diaper you got it you got to get wild but i mean one thing chris has always told me is like hey like as long as it's you and i against whatever the problems like things will

work out. You and I against whatever the issue is. And I mean, imperfect as we are, we try our best to implement that, especially with the kids. Yeah, because when you have kids, like, you're both stressed out. It won't even be at each other. Just in general, you're stressed because they may be, you know, kind of crazy at a given time. And I think by like natural human default, you're stressed, you take it out on your mate sometimes. Yeah. And so I feel like for us, we try and acknowledge, like hey like we're both stressed out right now they're both being a little crazy we had like two under two at one point and it was insane but we had to recognize like look like we're this is the situation we're both stressed out let's let's be a team and let's get it done

yeah sometimes I'm like hey I'm like oh yeah you're being that way because you're stressed out okay I'm going to go away I will say and that doesn't work okay yeah no especially with a girl doesn't work because then we're like why do you why what's wrong um i will say that we're in that we're in that ship right now we have two under two which yeah you know the whole house is on fire another thing i'm curious about you guys have an interesting insight to couples being in the wedding business and being able to see firsthand these couples getting married and like their stories and their memories i'm just curious if there's anything any trend or common theme you see within couples that you always talk about or realize or I don't even know I just I feel like that's a it's an interesting insight where you get to see that glimpse of life with so many different couples it's funny so I mean I get to see how couples interact and it just kind of that tells me a lot about like them their type of relationship or just the type of people there are there are some couples and they make for like the

best films is when they're super affectionate. They're emotionally attached to their feelings and, you know, they can express those. And I think that's amazing. And I see that sometimes and it works really well from a filming or video perspective. And then you have some couples who may not be as touchy, feely, huggy. You know, they're like, hey, like, I love this guy and we're married, but like, you want me to do what now with you?

Yeah. I'm like, hey, you guys are married. I'm like, get in there, get a hug. Like, let's get a kiss going. Like, come on, you guys are married now. And so you see, I guess, the different personalities, yeah, that people have. And I find it interesting, too, because, you know, at home, you see your relationship. You see how you are with your mate.

And then you get to, you know, some of these events. And you're like, oh, wow, like, they're a little different. Or they do this different. Or maybe they don't communicate with their emotions as much, or but their experience. extremely touching, feeling, huggy, kissing. And so I think it's really cool to see that dynamic. It's definitely interesting. And every single wedding, every single couple is different.

Yeah, we've seen couples who didn't even want to touch each other, but they clearly love each other. They clearly, you know, they're running day. They're like, no. Or it's just one of those days where it's like, it's been stressful. And she's like, let's get this going. We're going to wrap this up. Yeah, we're going to wrap this up.

He's okay, I do. Let's get, let's get this. Yeah. I will say, though. I'm probably the funniest thing, though, is we, Desmond will mic them up before, you know, when everyone will get all the mic, like, and it's deleted after, like, they got their film,

but we hear the craziest thing on the mics after they get married, before they get married. It's just... Nothing's worse than a groom who goes to the restroom, and I happen to sit there and listen through audio. Are you serious? There's nothing worse than that. You don't have to sit there and listen to it, Desmond.

And you can fast forward through it, bro. You know, sometimes you just kind of ran on the wrong moment. It doesn't think, but maybe he'll say something romantic that I should just keep in. Not in that situation. Yeah. No. But it is interesting, though, because getting that insight, I feel like you guys could probably, like, you learn and you observe different things that you're like, oh, I like that or I don't like that within your own relationship.

And I feel like that's what social media is now. People look at you guys on social media. and they're like, oh, I love that. I want to do pranks on my spouse. I want to laugh more. I want to, you know, have a relationship more like you guys. Is there, are there couples on social media that you guys now look up to to a certain extent or take notes from, I guess?

Well, we have a few favorite couples for sure. You guys obviously being one of them. But there's other couples, too, that we love to follow and see their stuff like Abby Herbert. there's a they're called the scott family they're also the scott so we love them um share the last name we have to i know right yeah yeah there's um another person melissa matrono love her there's like a there's a handful of people that we families we follow and i definitely get info from like all of them so yeah i want to take that a step further desmond because i i feel like you can learn um so much about how someone thinks and kind of their approach to life by who they look up to or like the

the books or whatever creators resources that they turn to frequently do you have any favorite authors or like hey this this book changed my perspective i want to be more like you is what i'm trying to say so help me out i guess you know from a creative space there are um others in the industry that do what I do that I definitely look up to. Especially early on in the, I guess our career with that, I had some that I followed that were like essential. Like if I was about to go to a wedding, I'm like, okay, I need to go check out their work just to kind of wrap my mind around,

you know, accomplishing that when I get here, you know. And eventually as time by, I grew my own style, but I still love to, you know, check out things like that. From a perspective of reading and books, I'm not a big book reader. Really? Yeah, I'm not a big book reader. I mean, I don't really, I don't know. You don't read any books.

And I don't. The Bible, but you don't read any other books. And outside of that, like, I don't have social media, so I don't really see what's going on. I don't watch the news either. I'm a nomad. I'm just living wherever the wind takes me, it seems. Okay, so what about like, like films that you love or like series, like freaking Yellowstone or whatever else?

Yeah, and I hate to be cliche. I can say like I'm a Marvel guy. I love that. Okay. Yeah, but you know, I will watch movies like even I hadn't got around to it, but like the recent movie, Dood, and I sit there and I watch and I dissect every aspect of what the guys are doing there. their cinematography is amazing and then you just see all that goes into the production and I kind of feel like

I have that power in a smaller scale when doing weddings because for example I'll be shooting reception and I'm like man nobody's dance and this is boring and then I get home I edit this film and sometimes I pull Christy I'm like Christy come look at this reception I was not that fun I made it look so fun you know yeah yeah because that I mean that's the magic so to say of you can you know edit and alter and i mean not to dive into craziness but just by frame rates and the type of ways you you edit you can make things seem more exciting or you can make things seem more emotional and so i think that's that's a really cool thing that i kind of draw sometimes from you know the different movies that i watched i think one that i really loved was the more

human-like lion king yeah i mean there were some really cool things they did with colors that affected how you felt about what's going on. I think after, I think Star had like basically, he had wiped the land out. There was no food. And they had very blue colors that kind of made you feel like, oh, this is sad. This is, this is, this is, this is, this is, wow. You're an artsy guy. Yeah, yeah, you have that type of flexibility whenever you're, you're making a film or making

a video. Colors affect people, music affects people. And so I really like that aspect. So you kind of briefly mentioned it. I do feel like in a more explicit sense than the normal situation, I do still think that every couple has this in their whatever tool belt. But us, we all get to kind of create together, which is such a fun thing to do with your partner.

It's like going through that creative process and being like, hey, here's an idea. And then they're like, no, let's amp it up and do this. it's not always it's not always like you know fun sometimes there's a we see it differently but the the process of of building something is fun which speaking of which you guys um you guys just built a house and you're still you know sitting here you're still friends you're still friends so how man no input from me like that honey oh that is beautiful yeah the agreement was I get all the set we did pick the house selections together

but as far as furniture I'm going to get you together the agreement was that I had the stay in it and I got one room one room to myself and that's like our media room wow and so I said hey I'll take it like that's that's my one space to do it the issue is we built a house before and tried to decorate it before we went through like four decorating schemes because we couldn't agree on anything We had this one rug guy, it was blue. It was... Not always bad, but it was a blue fuzzy rug, and it was like five-inch-high.

It was comfortable. It was your idea, though. But, man, did that look a hot mess? But it was your idea. Yeah, it was. So with this time of moving around, I was like, look, I'm not trying to, like, switch out furniture. Like, let me just pick, and we will be good. And she's done a great job.

Yes, it spared us many artists. Yes. Sometimes I just realized. thing is not for you and you just let the other person go for it. Okay, Desmond, what, what prank has Christy pulled on you that hit the best, hit the hardest? Man, it had to be when she taped her lip and glued her. What did you do? You glued her.

Oh, man, I wasn't ready for it. And that was so early on, I wasn't expecting something so ridiculous. Yes. Yeah. that because I what I did is I got eyelash glue I put it on like your mustache and you blew up the lip and it sticks it really works and he got in the car and that was bad I just couldn't believe it I couldn't work it I was like I told you I was going to go get a facial yeah yeah yeah and I just come back from whatever appointment I had yeah now now if she ever says hey I'm going to get a facial

I have extra questions I'm like okay tell me a little more about where you're going Chrissy, what's been your favorite? Oh, man, that one was, that's my favorite. But I would say other than that, recently we did a, I did a, I put like stuff in a hoodie and made it look like I was upside down. I posted it like a month ago. Oh, yeah. We're very familiar with that one.

Yes. Yeah. Paul Desmond in the room and like it appears as if I'm standing on my hands. Yeah. We got out the bed. his laugh just his whole reaction like I've watched that video like 300 times

and have laughed to myself like just snickering in the bed laughing is how he reacted that's my that actually that's my that was quite interesting I'll say that I don't know why but you guys did one where Christy you were informing

Desmond that you got a discount for putting air in your tires it was something about Desmond's reaction I died laughing. It was just like the sheer disappointment of... I mean, and my thing was, I'm thinking like, man, you never do any of that type of stuff.

So what in your right mind said, hey, I'm going to go and get it all changed or get an air in my entire day. I'm like, what's wrong? I didn't get it. I'm like, man, this is really bad. Now, that one I had personally thought that you knew it was a joke,

but then after you came in, I questioned. I probably caught on about halfway. I probably caught on to that one. But I had texted you first. That made it more like beautiful. For sure. All right. Where'd you guys go on your honeymoon?

Ah, Hawaii. Yeah, we went to Maui. Nice. Where did you guys go? Where did we? Oh, we went on a cruise. Well, ours was like, ours was like a year, well, a couple months.

Yeah. After we got married. So it's, okay. We did like the delay. Honeyman thing. Yeah, we did a dope crew. It was my first ever crew. Neither was you to remember.

How long have you guys been married? Seven years this past August, yeah. Oh, congratulations. Thanks, yeah, seven years. We've been together from 10 now, but married seven. We can move on to the next thing because I'm curious. Christy, what is your favorite thing about Desmond? Oh, my favorite thing about Desmond.

Oh, my, I knew you're going to look at me. Desmond has a very, I'll say he's very, like, slow to anger. And he, like we said a little earlier, lighthearted, I think that embodies him. He's not one to stress. I'm someone who can, like, get anxiety easily. He's the exact opposite. So it levels me out. And I would say, like, having someone like that around all the time, like, I love that.

So that would be my favorite thing. And Desmond, your favorite thing about Christy? Christy is, it kind of bundles all in one. I'll say industrious, but that embodies organization, just hard work. I mean, like, she takes care of business. I mean, I'll cook, I'll clean, and I'll change some diapers too. But as far as, like, getting some things that need to be done, done, like, especially with this move, for example, that's been the biggest thing that we've been doing lately.

But, you know, there's a lot of paperwork and a lot of, you know, things you have to set up, utilities and appliances. She has, like, she's the most organized person I know. She gets up every morning with a lemon water and some sort of breakfast. And she has her little journal. She starts writing things down that she wants herself to do, stuff she wants me to do. And, I mean, she gets it done. And at the end of every day, it's always like a treat for her. but she's like, I knocked off everything on my list today.

And that's the first kid, but like I don't have to worry about so many different things because I know if she said, hey, I'm going to do it, that it's done. Wow. I have to let him sleep in. So I want to put that out there. Every day? Every day, Christy? Of days, I let him sleep in and I take care of the kids and let him sleep in.

Don't get ideas. Yeah, that's partially because they used to wake up like crazy in the night. And so he would have to. get up in the night. Yeah, Christy. But when they stopped getting up in the night, I continued on and I'm asleep in.

Wow. I knew you were going to say the past couple of things. That's only because of that, other than that, like you sleep in. Well, that's high praise. That's,

that's, those are high compliments. What is, what's next for the Scots? What's on the horizon? YouTube videos, more YouTube videos. We get in a merch line.

Are we getting like a, uh, uh, a soundtrack? with the different laughs of the Scott fam that would be a hit right there to make like something you have an album coming out of mixtape so i'll just blame i'm about to say they i'm here for it this time you guys Andrew give us a beat now I will though for if you need one I will I will don't ask one though no we are trying to branch off though

to forming a couple of businesses, still in the brainstorming phase. Yeah. Try to get more, try to dive in more into YouTube. So that's also something that we've from China. Yeah, it's definitely something we've done enough to stay afloat with YouTube. I think it's a little more extensive and so we're just kind of, we're working on being a little more active with it and, you know, just kind of broadening out creatively. Well, here's what I'll say. You guys, if I could just,

pause for a moment and share how much we appreciate and I personally appreciate the laughs that you bring and encourage out of people. That quality about you is rare and it's refreshing. And so whatever you guys do, make sure that that is preserved because I think that's a rare quality and that's like, yeah, it's just really good. So I appreciate that. But we're also super appreciative that you took the time to join us today. And I hope that we could stay touch we will continue to mooch ideas off of off of you guys you make it just so easy don't worry yeah but thank you so much for joining us and uh yeah it was a pleasure no thank you guys for having this yeah we really enjoy it's really awesome yeah and we love you guys like i said it's
