00:00Well, I'm so excited to talk to the two of you about Age of Attraction. The show,
00:03it's so good. It's so entertaining. As a married couple going into hosting a Netflix reality dating
00:09show, did you get any pointers from Nick and Vanessa Lachey from Love is Blind? Or had you
00:13taken any notes on how they had done things over there prior? Not prior to filming. We didn't have
00:18a chance to talk with them. But not too long ago, we had a chance to interact with them. And
00:22they've
00:23been super supportive and just welcomed us to the Netflix family. And we really appreciate it.
00:27I do feel like this show is coming on the heels of a lot of age gap romance movies. We
00:32had Baby
00:32Girl, The Idea of You, A Family Affair. What do you think that says about what the world wants to
00:37see
00:37right now? I think just that it's a fascinating topic that I think most, you know, it's just like,
00:44I think it's one of those things that most people, especially early in life, don't imagine. They're
00:48not like, it's not like a goal. And then life happens. And then all of a sudden, they're like,
00:53oh, wow, I find myself in this age difference. And I think, while it's also a fascinating topic,
01:00it's incredibly relatable. And I think in 2026, people are having a hard time dating. You know,
01:06people feel lonely. They're having a hard time making connections. And now more than ever,
01:11we really are prioritizing compatibility. Do we have things in common? And when you start listing
01:18that off, age becomes less and less of a thing we care about. But it is something that the outside
01:25world has a lot of opinions on. So it's like kind of this interesting thing. Does it really matter when
01:30it comes to your compatibility? It certainly matters about the voices. But like, you know, for me
01:35personally, you know, my relationship with Natalie Flourish, once I stopped thinking about what other
01:41people might think, and just focused on what we had together.
01:44We're giving more representation to the older women, younger men dynamic, which I don't think
01:51there is a ton out there. And I think is a space that does kind of need the positive,
01:55you know, like positive representation, the positive, you know, someone can look to and be
01:59like, oh, that's, that's what I want. That's what, you know, people, I think, just want to be
02:04supportive. We joked that day one of filming, when we met the cast, we were like, hi, we're Nick and
02:08Natalie, we have an 18 year age gap. And everyone cheered. And we're like, no one's ever cheered for us
02:12when it comes to that. And like, sometimes you just want to feel supported. And I think
02:17especially the wonderful women we have on this cast, who found connections with younger men,
02:24I hope that the people watching feel represented. And I hope that for any person, especially women
02:30out there who, who have made connections with younger men and worried about judgment and things
02:36like that, that they see themselves in Teresa and Vanessa and Leah and, and kind of say,
02:41forget them. You know, I want, I want to feel this and I want to, I have a lot of
02:45energy and I'm young
02:47and I'm out there and I'm vibrant and I'm making more meaningful connections with some men who are
02:52younger. And I think if they want to do that, I think they should feel okay about it. I think
02:55they
02:55should feel great about it. And I hope this show gives them a little bit more permission to do that.
02:59There are obviously a lot of people excited about this show. And then to kind of counter,
03:03you know, everything we just talked about, there are also some people who maybe don't get it yet.
03:07They're questioning if it's pushing this like age gap agenda and if it's the most appropriate
03:11thing to do in the social climate. Now, what do you say to those people?
03:14Everyone is an adult that is here. You know, everyone made the decision to come here and to
03:22join in on this. You know, I think unfortunately sometimes there's just,
03:29you know, haters to anything that's going to happen.
03:33I also don't think, you know, this show pushes that agenda. I think what the show does is explore
03:40what it looks like for people to make meaningful connections. And I think if they discover that
03:45there is an age difference, it's more about why that doesn't have to matter and why that doesn't
03:51have to be a negative aspect of your relationship. It can just be kind of a fun anecdotal thing where
03:58you
03:58joke about like the movies I've never heard of and things like that, which at the end of the day
04:03is not what makes a relationship work, right? What makes our relationship work is our shared values,
04:08our common interest, how much time we love to spend together and how we show up every day and
04:15choose our relationship. And I think there's a lot of people who are dating people the exact same age
04:20who are really struggling to make that relationship work, who realize that
04:24my relationship is based off how I met the person, not, you know, what we have in common
04:29and not how that person makes me feel every day. And I think that's what matters most in relationships.
04:35And we're just trying to give people permission to explore things that make them feel good and feel
04:40right and feel healthy without having to worry about negative outside voices.
04:44I know you're Bravo fans. I'm a Bravo fan. One of the best lines was when Tristan said he was
04:49interested in older, he knew he was interested in older women when he saw Kim Zosiak in the church
04:53parking lot. I knew I was interested in older women. The first time I saw Kim Zosiak in a church
04:59parking lot, I was like, damn. If Netflix were to do a celebrity edition of this show,
05:05are there any housewives that you guys would like to see on it? I think Dorit would be incredible.
05:11I think Bronwyn would be amazing. I think so many, honestly, there's, there's a ton of,
05:16of people we'd love to see on the show. Anyone single eligible and looking for love. We,
05:21we welcome. Yeah. Open arms.
