00:00This is our Father's Day episode, a tribute to all dads out there.
00:07No matter what kind of dad you are, what situation you're in, how old your kids are, this episode is for you.
00:13So happy Father's Day to all of you.
00:15And welcome once again to Surprise Guest with Pia Arcangel.
00:20And at this point, I'm just gonna find out who our guests are.
00:23Oh wow!
00:25Before I even finish my intro, they're here!
00:28Okay, our surprise guests are Jimmy Alapag and LJ Moreno.
00:31Alapag, none other than Mr. and Mrs. Alapag.
00:35It's so good to have you on the show.
00:37Thanks for saying yes and being with us.
00:39Oh, absolutely.
00:40Of course.
00:41Good to see you.
00:42It's great to see you.
00:43You know, when they said that the guests are in the U.S., they're based in the U.S.,
00:47and then they said it's a couple.
00:49I was like, oh, I hope it's Jimmy and LJ.
00:51I really, really, really hope it's Jimmy and LJ.
00:53First of all, I'll just ask how you guys are.
00:56It's been a while.
00:57Have you been in the States already?
00:58You left during pandemic, right?
01:00Yes, it'll be four years in September.
01:02Almost four years.
01:03Believe it or not.
01:04Oh, so you left 2020.
01:06It was a time where nobody could leave.
01:07The only reason I was able to leave was because him and the kids are U.S. citizens.
01:11It was that time.
01:12So there's nobody in the airport.
01:14Even in LAX, when we arrived, it was really like, yeah, it was in the middle of the pandemic.
01:20Correct me if I'm wrong, but I know that you guys left because, Jimmy, you had work in the U.S., right?
01:26You were offered work in the U.S.
01:28Initially, there were plans for me to join the NBA G League when we left Manila.
01:34And then there was also a college offer.
01:36But the only problem was when we did get here towards the end of 2020, we were still kind of in the middle of COVID.
01:42And so it didn't push through at that time.
01:44So definitely a lot of challenges when we moved back, to say the least.
