Michael Bostick
This episode is brought to you by Lauren Bostick Times Bumpsuit. I am so excited for this collab. It's my first collab I've done underneath my name. You can go to Bumpsuit Co and you just click the Lauren Bostick Times Bumpsuit. And it is my curated edit. Here's what I would tell you. You have to look at. There is a support waist trainer that is literally amazing. So I'm going to be wearing this right after I give birth. It is so, so good for the compression and postpartum recovery. I am such a big fan of belly binding. After I give birth. I feel like it supports my posture and helps my uterus go back sort of like into place. And this support waist trainer works. I used it with Towns. It's absolutely amazing. You feel like a superhero with this compression waist trainer. So definitely get that. I have it in black. It's also on my page. And then whether you're pregnant or not, they have the best of the best jumpsuits. I've been wearing them with all three of my pregnancies. The one that I would recommend is in my curated edit. It's the unitard. It's true to size, it's flattering, it's chic, it's elevated, it's amazing. It looks good with a jean jacket. It looks good with a leather jacket. It looks good alone. It's such a good one to have for working out or if you're a mom or postpartum or if you're pregnant. This is a brand that I've wanted to collab with for probably like five years. So go on and shop my two edits. There's kits with Skinny Confidential product in it. And then shop that waist trainer. And I'm telling you, grab the jumpsuit. You will not be sorry.

Lauren Everts
She's a lifestyle blogger extraordinaire.
Jet
Fantastic.
Lauren Everts
And he's a serial entrepreneur, a very smart cookie. And now, Lauren Everts and Michael Bostick are bringing you along for the ride.
Michael Bostick
Get ready for some major realness.
Lauren Everts
Welcome to the Skinny Confidential. Him and her.
Michael Bostick
You want a Him and her experience? We will give you a Him and her experience on the show today with Jet and Pookie. You guys all know them from social media. People in the office at Dear Media and the Skinny Confidential were so excited for these two public Personas. I cannot tell you the excitement and in this episode, we get to really see a genuine expression of the affection in real life. They have rose to fame from social media by promoting positive values, the importance of being around, uplifting energies, and just really leaning into family values. I personally really liked seeing this side of them because I think we see them in short form content on, like, TikTok and Instagram. And this was long form, so we get to talk about everything from breakfast in bed conversations to kids to timing in relationships, to their story to how to be successful in a relationship and how to cut negativity out of relationships. This episode is really endearing. It's lighthearted. I think that it tells their story, and I enjoyed them both. Very, very sweet, authentic couple. Jet and Pookie. Welcome to the him and her show.
Lauren Everts
This is the Skinny Confidential him. And.
Michael Bostick
You guys have to give us context on how this organically happened, because that's what it feels like. And I think that's one of the reasons that it's so sticky and such a hit.
Jet
Yeah. I mean, we've said for the last couple years that our authentic love is the rocket fuel that makes it go. So all. All the things that we show on social media has been our life for 10 years. I mean, ever since we've been together, I've been calling her Pookie from two weeks after I met her onward. I'm obsessed with her. I love telling her I have to.
Pookie
Bat him off with a stick.
Jet
I love telling her how beautiful she is. I love making people feel good in general. I try to make everyone feel good. And so, yeah, like a year and a half ago, we just started putting it in video on social media, and instantly it exploded. I mean, it was. But it's been like this for 10 years.
Michael Bostick
I think, personally, from a woman's standpoint, of why it exploded is because guys could put a little more elbow grease into it. And I feel like you're putting the elbow grease into it. Do you guys feel that? That's something. That's maybe a reason of why it was sticking.
Jet
I mean, again, it's just authentically how I am. So I don't really put elbow grease into it. I just. I like to say funny things, and I like to make Campbell laugh and like to make her feel good and make her friends and anyone around me feel good. So this is just how I am.
Pookie
Yeah, he's. He really has always been, like, my biggest fan. He's always been building me up and telling me I look beautiful and. And I think I got. I kind of, like, just that was just normal for us. So when we put it out there and people were like, oh, my God, why is this happening? I'm like, does that not. Does your husband not, you know, make you feel good? Or, like, are you not getting compliments? And that's how everyone should feel. Like, everyone should feel beautiful and, like, you know, not have to beg for a compliment. And everyone should be able to be themselves.
Michael Bostick
And I love a compliment.
Pookie
Yeah, no, I do, too. Like, my love language is probably the words of affirmation. So I love the compliments. And I also like to give compliments, too.
Michael Bostick
I don't get breakfast in bed. How do I convince Michael to give me breakfast in bed? I see you bringing her, like, donuts.
Jet
All kinds of things.
Michael Bostick
How do I manipulate that?
Lauren Everts
I don't allow people to eat in our beds.
Michael Bostick
I eat in the bed every night.
Lauren Everts
I don't care how good it makes me feel.
Pookie
Every night after we eat in bed.
Lauren Everts
So do I. I don't always situation with me makes me a little bit neurotic.
Michael Bostick
So how do I get Michael to make me breakfast in bed on a tray?
Jet
I don't know if I can help you with that specifically, but I'm sure he makes you feel loved. Well, I'm sure he does. You guys obviously have an incredible relationship and so successful. I mean, another thing that we've been saying lately is authentically love out loud. Yeah. So I actually just did a TED talk at Wharton and Upenn a couple weeks ago, and the subject of my talk was, in a world of fear and anger, authentically love out loud. Because that's what the world needs, both in our everyday personal interactions, which is what we put on video on social media, but also just in a very broad sense, the world, the media can be a very dark place filled with fear and anger, like, you know, the powers that be manipulate us with. Because of our natural focus on negativity, humans are naturally focused on the negative for survival instinct reasons. And so because of all that, the world can feel very dark, very angry, very fearful. And in that landscape, authentically love out loud. That's the anecdote. So that's what I would encourage Michael to do. Love her out loud.
Michael Bostick
That's really cute. I hope Michael's taking notes in his composition notebook. That's the name of your book, by the way. If you guys write a book, that's a great name. I'm curious to know what your childhood was like to make you so comfortable with loving out loud.
Pookie
Yeah, that's really good, because I Think you definitely learned from your grandfather.
Jet
Yes, exactly.
Pookie
Who I thankfully met. He passed away.
Jet
Yeah, passed away late 20.
Pookie
20. 2020. But I had never met a man like that. And he. I can tell immediately after I met your granddad that you got it from him.
Jet
Yeah, I mentioned this in my TED Talk. So my grandfather, Wayne Blackwood was his name. Wayne was the most masculine man I've ever known. Just like old school Southern businessman. You know, love football, scotch, et cetera. And he and my grandmother were married for 63 years before he passed away. My grandmother, Joyce is still alive. But, yeah, Wayne passed away in 2020, and I watched him love her out loud for my entire life, because he loved her out loud for over 60 years. And he was extremely affectionate with her. And he encouraged me from at the youngest age to, hey, you know, with your girlfriend, with your wife, you know, be very affectionate, be openly affectionate, you know, to him. That was part of being a man, even though some people think that's the opposite of being a man. So, yeah, he taught me, you know, you can be a manly man and still, you know, love your wife out loud.
Michael Bostick
What about your parents? Did they do that too?
Jet
Yeah, my parents have a great marriage. They've been married for over 30 years. But Wayne was just very special.
Michael Bostick
Yeah, he did it.
Pookie
He made me feel like, you know, so loved. And I was not from Georgia. I wasn't from the South. Like, he made me feel so loved and just welcome, and immediately I could tell that that's where he got it from.
Michael Bostick
And what about your parents?
Pookie
Yeah, my parents were divorced at a young age, so it was totally different.
Michael Bostick
Yeah.
Pookie
And when I met and I was like, how is this it already? Like, how have I met my person at such a young age? But we literally were engaged within 10 months of knowing each other because it was fate, I think.
Lauren Everts
I actually think a lot of people get in trouble because, like, I have a lot of single guy friends now because I. And many of them. And they're gonna know who. Some of them are gonna know who I'm talking about. They, like, set this number. Like, when I'm 40, I will settle down. And I've seen some of these individuals meet what I, you know, I'm not in the relationship, but what I think would be a great match. But, like, because they're so stuck on that number, they're like, I'm not settling down until I get to that age. Lauren and I, we've known each other since we were 12. We haven't been together that Long. But since we were 20 and I caught myself. Cause I always think my dad settled down later in life as well. And I was like, oh, maybe this is too early for me. But I think that screws a lot of people up because it's like they've set this end destination, and what they believe is the moment they should settle down. And then maybe they miss their moments or their person.
Jet
Oh, I totally agree.
Pookie
I think we've talked about that a lot.
Jet
Picking an age would be the definition of insanity. Like, whenever you find your person, lock it down. Once you find your person, there's nothing to wait on. Form the. Form the union.
Pookie
What did you say?
Jet
Yeah, when you reach the top of the mountain, just throw your flag down. But really, like, I mean, we're. Humans are meant to be together with their spouse. And when you can form. I don't even want to use the word partnership. It's a union. When you can form that union, it makes you a better person, Makes them a better person. And you build the life you want together. The idea of, oh, I'm going to build the life I want, and then find the girl is total madness. Like, no. As soon as you find the spouse, lock it down. Become the. Build that life together, and then build the life you want together, which is.
Pookie
What we really have to.
Lauren Everts
No. And statistically, they show married couples and partners end up doing financially much better. And I've had a lot of friends. Now that we have more children, you guys are now well on your way. Like, people ask me, well, I know you have kids. Are you gonna slow down? And I found the exact opposite. It gives you even, like, more purpose and more reason to strive.
Michael Bostick
Except when you're getting out the door, they do slow you down.
Jet
No, totally. Having kids makes you a better version of yourself, 100%.
Michael Bostick
I think what you said is so important to so many men. It's. They think that you're supposed to get the success and then get the wife. And what I have found is a lot of high. Perform. Get. Have the wife, and then they build together, and that's even more meaningful.
Jet
Totally. Yeah. That's what Cam and I have done. And, I mean, I think she said earlier that it was fate that brought us together. We say it was divine intervention. We're very, very blessed to have met at such a young age. Sounds like you guys obviously are very blessed at a young age, too. It's so special because we've had this fairy tale for 10 full years.
Pookie
But also, I think, because we. Because we met at a Young age. Like, we were able to build this life together. And we. We do push each other to be better. We do push each other to be more entrepreneurial and to pursue our dreams. But also, we're not competitive with each other. Like, we want each other to win. Like, when he wins, I win. When I win, he wins. And we're constantly, like, trying to make each other better. We're not competing against each other, especially in our careers.
Jet
Yeah, we feel like a lot of couples, especially power couples, like, compete with each other to some extent. That's just the opposite of us. We don't even think of it as Jet and Campbell. It's just us together as a union.
Michael Bostick
I tell Michael that all the time. I'm like, let's always push the same boulder up the same hill, because you can get into something where there's separate boulders going up separate hills. And Michael always says this. Someone wants to build a bakery, and someone wants to build an empire of a bakery, and it's misaligned. It's out of alignment. How did you guys. And I'm sure you've told this story, but you have to just retell it in your way. Meet. What was the day you guys met?
Jet
So, yeah, I was in grad school in Philadelphia, so I was getting my MBA at Wharton and my law degree at UPenn Law. And Campbell was a flight attendant based in Philly at the time with American Airlines.
Michael Bostick
Smart.
Jet
You know, Divine intervention put us together at Trio Wine Bar in Center City, Philadelphia. I just walked up to the prettiest girl at the bar, prettiest girl I'd ever seen. Introduced myself. Oh, he's so cute. We. We fell in love right away. Oh, cry.
Michael Bostick
So cute.
Jet
Within two days, I knew that I was going to marry her. I mean, she literally just. I've always said she looked like a princess, talks like a princess, even sleeps like a princess. Like, that's all exactly how I felt. That's exactly what told everyone at the time. And then, yeah, I bought the ring after six months, gave it to her after 10 months in Hawaii. I told her I loved her for the first time in Paris, maybe four or five months after we met. Shortly before I bought the ring. I mean, it's just been this fairy tale from literally the first date all the way through the day, 10 years later.
Pookie
I think timing was everything for us. We really did. We met at the perfect time. We were both really comfortable with ourselves. We kind of knew who we were as people. But like you said, you. He kind of changed his mindset whenever we met and went from, oh, my gosh, I need to, you know, make my life fit this woman that I want to spend my life with. Because I think you were on a little bit of a different path with your career.
Jet
Yeah, I mean, when I, you know, I met Campbell, I was obviously business school and law school. Like, I was probably going to be ending up in New York or Hong Kong or London, long time, like in private equity or investment banking or hedge funds or something like that as a guy trying to build that type of life. And then when I met her, instantly, it's like, okay, well, all that matters is her and us together. And of course, I ultimately still went into finance and still had a great career in finance. But it's just different when you're approaching it from everything, your goals and your future plans, being about yourself to being about you and your spouse together as a team. So, yeah, mindset immediately shifted to, we're a union, let's do this together.
Lauren Everts
Yeah. That's what I was alluding to is like, the example earlier is like, you can use that kind of fuel to service yourself for a long time, but over a long period of time, and a lot of guys don't like me saying this, it starts to become empty. Like you. You start to do all the things, and you look around, you're like, okay, what else? Like, how many fancy dinners? How many nice bottles of wine? How many nights out? How many different. Like, all the things, oh, my God.
Jet
My life would be so empty. Campbell. Oh, my God. Yeah.
Lauren Everts
When I met Lauren and I. When I got back with her, she would lay next to me in bed and snore like a wildebeest. And the.
Michael Bostick
I didn't have mouth tape.
Lauren Everts
Sounded like a chainsaw.
Michael Bostick
Mouth tape changed.
Lauren Everts
My life would have open, and I stuck it through. And I feel like that says a lot.
Michael Bostick
I thought you were going to say you stuck it in.
Lauren Everts
I did do that as well. I did that as well.
Michael Bostick
That is. You know what? That's efficient for me because I'm sleeping. Whatever you got to do, I'm good with it.
Jet
How old were you guys when you actually got together?
Lauren Everts
Oh, funny enough, we got together when we were 12. I looked over. Maybe it's a little bit different story than yours, but I still have it.
Michael Bostick
Let's hear how you tell it.
Lauren Everts
Compared to Jet, I saw a fully developed form set of breasts. And you saw my tits.
Michael Bostick
I fell in love with my tits.
Lauren Everts
And I thought she was the substitute teacher. And I had, like, a sixth grade girlfriend at the Time I said, listen, lady, like, you gotta go, because I gotta go there. And we got together and it was. I would say it was hot and heavy fireworks. Her dad caught us in the closet unclothed together at that age.
Michael Bostick
And we were very mature at a very young age. Very mature.
Lauren Everts
We. No, but. But joking aside, like, there was always, like, for whatever reason.
Jet
So y' all were somewhat of an item from sixth grade onward. Yeah.
Lauren Everts
And then we. Not together in high school, not together in college, but, like, there was this thing where, like, we would always. We would sneak around, sneak around. We'd see each other, we'd like, for whatever. Like, we both dated other people.
Michael Bostick
I used to be like, I'm coming over and then make him wait till five in the morning and never come.
Lauren Everts
But joking aside, that works really well.
Michael Bostick
They fall right in love with you.
Jet
Okay. We used to wait hours to text me back.
Pookie
Yes.
Michael Bostick
Y.
Jet
The first couple months.
Lauren Everts
I am being serious on some of.
Michael Bostick
The things we do, and we need to talk about that.
Lauren Everts
But in all seriousness, like, I was in love right away. And I chased her for a decade before she would take me to her.
Jet
So it was just after you guys. It was a decade that you guys got together?
Lauren Everts
Right. When we were. We had. Unfortunately, we had a friend get severely injured taking drugs. Like, you know, a person that we knew very well. And so she was in another state. And what happened was he was in college with me. And when that happened, it kind of, like, created an opportunity we were about to get. Sounds kind of messed up, but all of a sudden, we were in the same city, together again. In a very tragic moment, you gave me an ultimatum, and no, we got back, but we've been together.
Michael Bostick
You said, this is the last time. After 10 years, I'm pursuing you. If you don't come to Vegas with me, then I'm never gonna text you again.
Lauren Everts
So at one point, I had some options. I was like, listen, I had some options too, though.
Michael Bostick
Don't get me wrong.
Lauren Everts
Get your shit together. I'm like, it's been 10 years. I feel like that's the cutoff. But I said, if we get together, like, this is for good. For sure. We've been together.
Michael Bostick
I woke up in Vegas with a pink tiara, sparkles all over on my head, with a bottle of pink sparkly wine next to Michael naked. And I was like, okay.
Lauren Everts
It's a similar love story to you guys.
Michael Bostick
No, we didn't have sex, though.
Jet
Well, I mean, it's similar in the sense that you guys have been together off and on for a very, very long time. And that you, you knew deep down, I think you both did that obviously you reached the 1.
Lauren Everts
But to your point, I think when you find your person and like joking aside, like, I think I always knew that she was my person, if that makes sense. And so like I was laser focused and when I would, I feel bad now and I've talked about this openly for years. Like I would date other women, but I knew it was not that feeling. So it was kind of these empty relationships which were maybe unfortunate in some of the behaviors of pass in some of those conquests.
Jet
Another interesting thing is that you actually ultimately, when you truly got together was right around the same time we did just after college. Like again, I was in grad school, So I was 25, Campbell was 23. It sounds like pretty similar timing actually. That's kind of an ideal time in a way.
Pookie
Yeah.
Jet
You're both like young adults and can truly start building your life together.
Michael Bostick
What were you doing career wise at the time? He comes up to you.
Pookie
So that's when I was a flight attendant. So I had, I went to college and then I moved to Philly. I was based in Philly with American. And that's. I was a flight attendant.
Michael Bostick
Oh, I thought you said you were a flight attendant. She was.
Jet
I was, I was, I was in business school.
Michael Bostick
I was confused when you said I thought you. I thought you said I was in business school, in law school and I was a flight attendant. And I thought you were a flight attendant.
Lauren Everts
I was doing multi million dollar deals.
Pookie
So no, I, I literally made no money. I had no money. I lived in not so safe area.
Jet
She lives in West Philadelphia, like Fresh Prince of Bel Air, West Philadelphia, born and raised. That's where she was living with the other flight attendants.
Michael Bostick
So.
Jet
But I had no money either. I was a poor grad student.
Pookie
Yeah, no, but I did have free. I had free plane tickets.
Michael Bostick
That's fine.
Jet
And we took full advantage of those free plane tickets. We went to like 20 countries the first 18 months we were together.
Pookie
We did.
Lauren Everts
That's a total perk at that age. Like that sounds like the best absolute idea.
Jet
Like, yeah, I had my first choice job locked up like way in advance of graduation. So I had the time to do whatever. I had my signing bonus from work, so I had some cash and then she had the free plane tickets. So yeah, it was quite a recipe. And we went to literally like 20 countries in 18 months.
Michael Bostick
So before we get into to your career and how it's been, it's sticky to me is like, the right word. But before. Before that, what did your life look like? Like, what is. What is your life look like before social media, when you guys are a couple? I think people are curious about that.
Pookie
We had.
Jet
I mean, it's not that different than what we show now, really. We've lived in the same life the whole time.
Pookie
But, I mean, really, when we were. When we were living in Philadelphia together, he didn't even have Instagram. Like, he didn't even have an iPhone.
Jet
Literally.
Pookie
Literally. I had to drag him to Verizon to get him an iPhone. The texts were green, like. Yeah. And he. I remember he posted, like, our first, like, official, you know, photo. And I was like, yes, I. Like, I won. Like, you know, this is a huge accomplishment. But, no, we. Our. Our time in Philly, when we were. Before we got engaged was like, pure bliss. We. We talk about it now as, like, this was the best time of our life. Like, it. It really was. Like, we. Even though we didn't have, you know, all the things that we have now, it was such a simple life, and we enjoyed every second of it. Like, we, you know, slept in, like, did everything together, like, traveled the world. Traveled the world together with, you know, little. Whatever little money we had, and it was incredible.
Michael Bostick
So at what point do you decide you want to go into social media?
Pookie
Yes. So I had always kind of wanted to go into social media. I had. My mom was in fashion, and I had always, like, wanted to start posting my outfits on Instagram. I was really nervous. I felt like people would judge me. And he really, really encouraged me to start posting. So in 2017, I told him. I kept talking about it, and he's like, if you don't do it, like, I'm gonna just post for you. So I started posting my outfits every day, and I. It just. It kind of just took off.
Jet
That started in what, like, 17, 2017.
Pookie
We got married in 2018.
Jet
But, I mean, at a very small scale. I mean, she built this, you know, from.
Pookie
Yeah, everyone starts at it small. Like, you have to.
Michael Bostick
You start with nothing.
Pookie
Yeah, you have to start.
Jet
So after I finished grad school, we moved to New York, started my career on Wall Street. Then we moved to Houston, Texas, because I was doing oil and gas investment banking. Ma. And then when we moved to Atlanta, I guess it was around the time we moved to Atlanta. It's probably when you started posting your outfits and whatnot. And, you know, she's making a little bit of money here and there. And then in 2020, again, she was doing, like, random corporate jobs as well. And then in 20 jobs, it's true. Pinky's not really employed.
Michael Bostick
You're not too.
Pookie
Actually, I didn't get fired. I only got fired from one.
Lauren Everts
So anyway, then, okay, I'm not employable either.
Jet
Yes. And so then in 2020, we met another influencer, a girl named Chelsea, who had been very successful. She had already gotten to the point where she was making over a million dollars a year as an influencer. It's in 2020. And she identified us, I guess, from a distance and, like, kind of made sure to, like, meet us. And she, like, pulled us aside and was like, listen, like, y' all are just, like, made for this. Like, you have to, like, go full time with this. Forget about your corporate job, Campbell. Like, go full time with social media. She literally. She was such a good salesman. She convinced both Campbell and me, like, okay, yeah, Campbell, quit your job. Let's just do this full time. And immediately she was making, like, 3 to 5x from social media. What she was from a corporate job.
Pookie
You also. You bought into what I was doing. He believed in me. If he didn't. If I didn't have him supporting me, it's not so easy to just, oh, me quit my job. And, you know, he was. He had bought in. He believed in what I was doing. He saw that people, you know, I was, you know, gaining followers, gaining, you know, business opportunities.
Jet
She should be a star. I mean. Yeah, she's just such an amazing person.
Michael Bostick
And then she does look like a Disney princess.
Jet
She is.
Michael Bostick
You mentioned that early. Yeah, you do look like a Disney princess.
Jet
And so that started in 2020, but it was still all photo based.
Pookie
Okay.
Jet
So to complete the story. So it's all photo based still on Instagram, still. And then by the time we get to late 2023, she changed her life forever. Once again, she decided to shift her content from being mostly photos and mostly of herself and her outfits to then outfit videos of us together. And that combination of us on video together is what revealed our authentic love to the world, and it just instantly exploded. So that's late 2023. And, you know, the last two years of our life have obviously been a total blur.
Michael Bostick
So when you. The first time that you put him on, was the response crazy or did it take time to have momentum?
Pookie
So I would always post him on my stories. Like, I would always post our, you know, us, like, kind of, like, back and forth or, like, him complimenting me or doing something nice for me. I would post on my story, but it would never make it to, like, my feed. And my followers would always be like, oh, my God, Like, I want a man like that. Where do I get a man like that? Like, he just loves you. And I'm like, he really. I'm so lucky. He really does. But, like, you deserve that love, too. And I could tell that people were really picking up on it, and people were, like, really engaged with this content whenever I would show him. So I was like, we've got to get this out on my feed. Like, we need to get this on TikTok. We need to get this in video format. Because this is not something that was just, like, created for, you know, social media. Like, he's genuinely doing this stuff. Like, we would go out to dinner, get dressed up, and he would.
Jet
The best stuff isn't even on camera.
Michael Bostick
I don't know what that means. Are you guys gonna release a little X ray?
Pookie
No, no, no, no. That would definitely.
Jet
No, I'm just saying, like, the compliments and all the things that's constant.
Michael Bostick
No, I will say, when I walked in, I thought you were gonna call her Campbell off air. And you called her Pookie. It was really cute.
Jet
I only call her Campbell when I'm mad at her.
Lauren Everts
Oh, what do you get mad at her for?
Michael Bostick
Yeah, what gets him mad?
Jet
Not a lot anymore. It used. It used to frustrate me how she always makes a slate to everything because it takes her forever to get read.
Michael Bostick
Go.
Jet
I just totally gave up on being on time. I, I, I know that we're going to be late to every single thing, anyone that spends time with us. I mean, if it's business, you guys.
Michael Bostick
Were on time today.
Jet
If it's business, we'll be on time. Anything else? We will never be on time. All our friends know that, our family knows that. I know that. So I just don't let it bother me. What's funny is she still gets stressed.
Pookie
Out about being late, and I'm like, you're.
Jet
There's clearly nothing that can be done about it, babe. So we just have to accept it.
Michael Bostick
I told Michael to get yes, dear tattooed on his ass.
Lauren Everts
Of all the tattoos I have, that's, like, the one I would never see.
Michael Bostick
I know. Maybe you should put it on your fort.
Lauren Everts
You think I'm just standing in a mirror and bending over looking.
Michael Bostick
I wanted yes, dear on his ass. That's. I agree. If you, if you're dating someone who's late, there's nothing you can do. You just have to just Years ago.
Jet
Don't get mad anymore.
Lauren Everts
I'm not a quitter, Lauren, so no.
Michael Bostick
Okay, well, you should take it.
Jet
What's funny is she'll get, like, mad and stressed out when she's making a slate, and then she gets upset that I'm not mad and stressed out.
Pookie
Yeah, I get bad things.
Michael Bostick
Do you know what that's called? Emotional residency.
Pookie
Yeah.
Michael Bostick
So emotional residency is when you're upset and you want the person to match your emotion, and if they don't match it, you get even more upset.
Jet
That's exactly what she does every night as she's getting ready and making a sleeping on.
Pookie
I'm like, I might be late, but I genuinely am sorry. Like, I feel guilt. He doesn't.
Jet
He's like, just, babe, there's just the laws of the universe and Pookie can never be on time. So that's just the way it is.
Michael Bostick
That's smart that he diffuses it.
Lauren Everts
How are you a flight attendant if you. You can't be on time?
Jet
Oh, my God. She was the world's worst flight attendant. Oh, she would work, like, three days a month calling sick. Then we fly to Paris the same day. She'd be, like, supposed to go to Cleveland. She'd call in sick. And then two hours later, we board a flight to Paris. Flight first class. For free, I hope.
Pookie
American.
Jet
That was our lives for the first year and a half.
Michael Bostick
They should put you in an ad. They should put you guys, here's my pitch. Putting it into the ether. It should be you two on first class flying to Paris and him serving you. You're the butler. Jet would do it. He's the butler. And they should do a whole ad around you guys because you used to be a flight attendant.
Pookie
I don't know why they have a Delta.
Jet
We fly Delta constantly.
Michael Bostick
Send them to me. I think that's an eight figure deal.
Pookie
Yeah, I concur.
Lauren Everts
Now it's official. We get a vig on that.
Pookie
You even flew. He would fly without me. So he is my registered companion. So if you know anything about flight attendants or the way it works, it's like, you're registered.
Jet
You're registered gives you flight attendant status, even if you're not the actual flight attendant. So I could fly, like, first cost of Hong Kong for free even without her. And I did.
Lauren Everts
Wow. Yeah, that's a good perk, dude.
Jet
It was. It was amazing.
Pookie
I was working during that time. I mean, I was working while you were having fun in Hong Kong. Wait a minute.
Lauren Everts
They let you just. Even if you're not with the companion. They let you just like jet around the world.
Jet
So you could, as a flight attendant American at that time, at least you could designate one person. It could be your husband, could be your mom, whoever, as your registered companion, which gave them your same status even if they weren't with you.
Lauren Everts
Yeah, it's like a total hack anyway.
Jet
That's all like, you know, eight to 10 years ago. But yeah, it was amazing.
Lauren Everts
Foreign let's take a quick break for me to introduce you to one of my favorite new discoveries. And that is a straw tequila. Austral is my go to tequila right now for margaritas. And it doesn't just taste good, it does good too. Every single bottle of Estrall Tequila helps build homes for families in need in Jalisco, Mexico. And after making the tequila, they upcycle leftover agave fibers into adobe bricks used to build homes in their community. How cool is that? So when you're sipping on a margarita, you're also supporting a good cause. My typical go to tequila is their reposado. I think it's phenomenal. This one comes with a Michael engraved bottle to make me feel even extra special. But if you're looking to make margaritas, many people like to use the blanco tequila, which is more traditional. And of course, if you want a nice sipping tequila, the anejo, which you can never go wrong with. My personal favorite margarita recipe is what I call the three, two, one. It's a very traditional margarita. You take three parts of the blanco or the reposado, maybe even once in a while the anejo, and you do three parts of the tequila, then one part of Cointreau. So maybe you did one and a half ounces of the blanco, one ounce of Cointreau, not triple sec, and then three fourths of an ounce of lime juice. It has to be fresh lime. Sometimes you can add a little simple syrup if you want. Maybe do a little half rim of salt. That is the perfect margarita. So check them out. Astral is definitely my favorite discovery of the year. Please enjoy responsibly. Estrall tequila, 40% alcohol per volume. Diageo, New York, N.Y. and Housemark Summer is here. Time to stock up. Go to www.astral t e q u I l a.com to find a straw near you.

You know what a beauty hack is? A real beauty hack is fixing the water that you shower with. This has been a total upgrade for me. So I got a filtered shower head and it removes chlorine and heavy metals and it's the only lab tested and clinically trialed filtering shower head on the market. And it is by Jolie. Jolie is a beauty wellness company that purifies the water that we shower in. It literally makes you have better skin, hair and overall well being. And this is really cool. I think this is amazing. It's clinically proven to reduce hair shedding in 81% of people. It's lab tested to reduce hair frizziness by 40%. It also helps you maintain color retention which is serious for Me, because I do dye my hair like, a chocolate brown. My normal hair is, like, it's brunette, but it's not, like, it's not as chocolate brown as it is right now. So I want to maintain that. And it also protects the hair's surface layer. It's so crazy when you learn about how chlorine is added to our water system. It's basically to disinfect and kill bacteria, but it's really damaging for the hair and skin. So Jolie fixes that. They have beautiful, sleek designs. It's the perfect combination of form and function. Jolie will give you your best skin and hair guaranteed. Head to jolieskinco.com skinny to try it out for yourself with free shipping. And if you guys don't like it, you can return your Jolie for a full refund within 60 days, no questions asked. Because of your job. Jett, are you really good with the finance side and the operations and logistics? And has he been helpful to what you're doing with that?
Pookie
Definitely. He's definitely the. The brains in all of this. I mean, not the brains.
Michael Bostick
I just mean, like, is he. Is it sound. It sounds like you're really financially literate because of what you do.
Jet
Sure. Yeah. So I. Yeah, I do merge acquisitions. That's what I've done my whole career. When we first exploded, like, a year and a half ago, the first thing I was like, well, we gotta find a team. And the first thing I needed was a lawyer. And so in all these managers and agents in Beverly Hills and lawyers and PR firms, I mean, we're all calling us. I mean, I'm talking dozens of emails and phone calls. It was insane.
Lauren Everts
Sharks in these waters, buddy.
Jet
Yeah. And we had to, you know, navigate all that. Navigate those waters, figure out. The first thing I want to do is hire the right lawyer. I want to learn the new everyone so that she could help me vet everyone else as we built the team, because we built an entire team within a couple of months of the explosion. But we were very, very selective. I mean, we literally interviewed every major talent agency, every management company, every PR firm. And you built the whole team. And so that was the first way when I really started adding my business background and expertise to this. Because the first thing to do in any venture is to build the right team. No matter how talented or smart or hardworking anybody is as an individual, without a team, they're not going to accomplish a lot. Humans have to collaborate. So we built an amazing team, and we did that. We continue to optimize the team. You know, over the last year and a half. And we really love the team we've built and they're a huge part of our success.
Michael Bostick
And what do you focus on? Like, what I'm sure the audience would love to know, things that they don't get to see on social media. What is your focus on? Like, content creation. What is your, your energy go.
Pookie
My energy goes mainly to content creation. So I work. It's a, it is a lot of work. You know, we want to stay true to ourselves. We want to post content that is true to us, but, you know, we also want to post things that are trending or, you know, be in the know of what's happening. So my focus is really like kind of balancing how much content we put out that is sponsored content, our authentic content, original content, like trending topics, type. So that's where a lot of my, you know, day to day mind is going.
Michael Bostick
What would people be surprised to know about you two? Because I, I can tell, like, yes, you guys have put your relationship out there, but there's also a privacy, I'm sure, and there's stuff that you guys keep sacred. What would people be surprised?
Pookie
I don't know if they would be surprised. I don't know if they would be surprised. But like, we spend every moment together.
Lauren Everts
I don't think that would surprise anyone.
Pookie
Okay. I don't know. Like, is that, is that a secret?
Lauren Everts
Based on what I've heard in a.
Michael Bostick
Short amount of time, we spend every, a lot of moments together.
Pookie
We're like, he. Okay, so he went to go get something the other day from CVS and he was like, I could tell he wanted me to come with him.
Michael Bostick
Oh, no, that's not that. Wow.
Pookie
Okay.
Michael Bostick
I'm not going to cvs.
Jet
It was probably the first time that we'd been apart for even like an hour in like over a week probably.
Pookie
Yeah.
Jet
Like, we're together.
Michael Bostick
I'd love a little codependency.
Pookie
Yeah.
Jet
Yeah.
Michael Bostick
You guys like to be together?
Jet
I mean, I wouldn't even say it's a dependency thing. It's just that we love being together. I mean, that's.
Michael Bostick
And I think that that is the key to marriage. What you just said. I like to be around my husband. So I remember early on in our relationship when I was like 21 and 22, I would get invited to like, girls sleepovers or like bachelorette parties or whatever, and I didn't want to go. I like sleeping next to Michael when we were dating. Like, I just like to be with him.
Jet
Of Course.
Michael Bostick
And I think sometimes there's relationships, and I'm sure you guys have seen this, where people don't like to be together. They might like the idea of marriage or to say their marriage, but they don't like each other.
Jet
Oh, it's so sad.
Pookie
Yeah, yeah, that's true. And we have actually made. We love being together, and we've really made a conscious effort to put people in our life that want to be together, that are couples. And that is so important, especially when you are looking for the right person. Like, kind of associating yourself with couples that like being together, that aren't talking stuff, talking about each other behind their back.
Lauren Everts
Like, I don't let her go hang out with girls that complain all the time. And I say that, like, I know that's like, a lot of women don't like.
Jet
Yeah, yeah. I've recently. Really.
Lauren Everts
I got no patience where I'm like, if you want to go hang out with the gals that are clucking about how terrible their husbands are, like, can't go. Can't do it. And I don't put my foot down a lot of things. I don't want that. And vice versa. Imagine I'm going to hang out with a bunch of guys like, hey, let's go, like, find some other women and, like, screw your wife. Like, I don't like that anymore.
Michael Bostick
It's respectful.
Pookie
I agree.
Lauren Everts
You know, like, and whenever I see couples doing that, I'm like, well, listen, like, you're around a bunch of people that hate their marriages and hate their spouses and don't want to be in there complaining all the time. It's not healthy.
Jet
It's not.
Lauren Everts
Like, it's maybe sounds sexist saying that, but, like, I don't allow that energy.
Jet
Whether it's bad energy coming from a girl or from a guy, either way, you don't want that bad energy in your life. Like, we have made a huge effort, especially recently, same deal. Like, I put my foot down. And then she totally agreed. And we have, yes, again, house of Union. We are not gonna have any bad energy in our life. Whether it doesn't matter it's a guy or a girl, whatever. The couple doesn't matter. We are cut out. All better internal life. We don't care how successful somebody is. We don't literally don't care if they're a billionaire. It doesn't matter if they're bad energy. They're not in our life, period.
Lauren Everts
By the way, Even in the company. I tell people in this culture all the time I said, like, I don't care how high of a performer someone is, if they're constantly complaining, constantly negative, constantly undermining people, like, they gotta go, like, I don't, I don't care if they're the best salesperson or the best producer in the world. They can't be in the.
Jet
I mean, it literally impacts your mental health to be around that negative energy. And then ultimately it impacts your physical.
Michael Bostick
I think that they always say, like, protect your peace. I think if you decide to get married, you have to protect your marriage. And if we had this girl on that was like, oh, you know, I'm divorced now. And we talked to her about, you know, before she got divorced and she said she was hanging out with all of these women that would sit around and complain about their husband. And it does rub off on you. And my thing is, if you're going to complain or cheat on your spouse, you're sure as hell going to do it in other areas. And you're sure as hell out of integrity in other areas. If I, if I hear someone complaining about their spouse to me, they're going to turn around and talk shit about me. Like, I just feel like there's a lot of like synergistic traits in that.
Jet
Totally agree.
Pookie
I agree.
Jet
Yeah. I mean, we want to be around people, that we make them better and they make us better. And that's the, that's like you leave.
Pookie
Dinner feeling like energized. That was amazing. Like, let's do that next week.
Jet
And we're blessed to have a lot of amazing friends that do that for us and we do that for them. I mean, it used to be a two way street. Like, we collectively all make each other better. No different than Campbell and I make each other better.
Lauren Everts
I mean, listen, when Lauren and I got together and we got serious and I've been young, like, I have to be okay that I'm not getting invited on all the crazy guys trips any longer, and I'm not out to go and have the guys night ever, like maybe once in a while. But you know, a lot of my friends that haven't been able to like let go of that, have they gone into marriage has made it really difficult. It's like, you're not gonna see me out at 2am at a bar without my wife. Like, it's just, it's just a, it's a really difficult strain to put on any relationship. You know what I mean?
Jet
Definitely.
Lauren Everts
Like, if you just saw me wandering around a bunch of nights a week out in nightclubs without my wife. You're like, well, that is. That's a weird look.
Pookie
It's less suspicious.
Michael Bostick
Right?
Lauren Everts
And same thing with her. Like, if you're out all the time with the girls, just, like, slamming wine at the wine bar and you're like, not with your husband.
Michael Bostick
You know where you will find me, though? Out perusing around the foot spa.
Jet
Oh, and I forgot I was gonna think, like, Hermes or Chanel.
Michael Bostick
No, the foot spa.
Lauren Everts
And no more lunches at the. The strip club. Like, that can't happen.
Michael Bostick
There's no more there. There's no more. They did have a sandwich. I'm sorry, you'll have to. You'll have to give that up. What advice would you guys give to someone who wants to launch today? Because it's a different. It's a different time. What. What would you guys say?
Jet
What do you mean by launch?
Michael Bostick
Launch an Instagram post their husband. Like, post content. I feel like you guys are really great people to ask if someone's going to launch an Instagram or a TikTok right now. What are the tips?
Jet
I mean, it needs to be as authentic to you as possible.
Pookie
Yeah, I mean, I think that's. That's kind of common sense, but it really does. Like, you're going to get burnt out so fast if you're not super passionate about what you're posting and that you feel good and that people. People, like, get that it makes you feel good and it makes them feel good. They're going to keep coming back for more if they can tell that it's. It's really resonating with you and you're passionate about it. So I would say be passionate about it and be authentic and also be consistent. Like, you really need to kind of just run with it, try different things, post every day, see what works. But you have to be passionate about it.
Michael Bostick
It's funny, we had a guy on Happiness come on the podcast, Arthur Brooks, and he said that women want adoration and men want admiration. And when talking to you guys, that's exactly what you guys do. I don't even know if you knew that, but you give concept.
Jet
And I agree that it's. I agree that that concept is true, and I agree that Campbell and I definitely do that for each other.
Michael Bostick
Yeah, that. He said that's adored.
Jet
Men want to be admired 100.
Michael Bostick
If. If anyone is in the bathroom with their spouse, turn it up when I just said that. Put it real loud on stage so they can take a hint.
Lauren Everts
Yeah, but it's a. The Big. The biggest thing that we got from him is that it's. It's a two way thing. Like, you cannot adore her if she does not respect and admire you. And you don't want to be adored by someone that you don't respect. You get what I mean? And so what happens is that he was saying it's like this downward spiral. It's like you stop adoring her, you stop admiring him, and then it just gets worse and worse and worse and people dig in further and further and further.
Pookie
Yeah. I mean, he is the best man I know. Oh, he really is.
Jet
Well, you're certainly the best woman I know.
Michael Bostick
Oh my. They just did.
Lauren Everts
And now it's your turn.
Michael Bostick
My husband is a hot hunk with a big, big personality.
Lauren Everts
I'm still getting it on this far into the pregnancy.
Pookie
I don't know.
Michael Bostick
It's like a whale. It's interesting, the first pregnancy, isn't it, Jet?
Pookie
It definitely didn't slow him down.
Jet
It was great. No, it was great. The first few months in particular were amazing. And then, and then towards the end and all the way, you know, post pregnancy, like it just made her body even hotter. Oh, no, it really did, actually. For years. For years I would tell her and I meant it and I. It's absolutely true. For years I would say how excited I was for her post pregnancy body.
Pookie
Because I always said that and I was like. What do you mean?
Michael Bostick
Like? He means like curved Jessica Rabbit.
Jet
Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
Michael Bostick
But men like a little badunkadunk.
Jet
Yeah, yeah.
Pookie
They like something to hold on to.
Michael Bostick
Yeah.
Jet
So for years I've been excited about the post pregnancy body and all my dreams have come true.
Michael Bostick
I'm so happy your fairy tale is happening for you.
Lauren Everts
I don't know how I feel about you using the term badunkadunk.
Michael Bostick
Is that the wrong term?
Lauren Everts
I just don't. I just. I feel like. Just sounded strange.
Michael Bostick
Okay, what you're saying, some cushion for the push.
Jet
Something to hold on to, you know.
Michael Bostick
With how just in case you're getting.
Lauren Everts
Wild, you almost fall off. You need something to grab right onto, you know.
Michael Bostick
Okay, well, you got something to grab onto right now. Let me tell you. You know, I made him wear. I made him wear the pregnancy suit.
Pookie
He hasn't done that.
Michael Bostick
You should do it.
Jet
I don't know what that is.
Michael Bostick
It's like you can order it and it's like a 50 pound pregnancy suit.
Lauren Everts
It's not that hard, to be honest.
Michael Bostick
You could do it 50 pounds, maybe 40. I gained 60 pounds my first pregnancy. So he got.
Jet
You only gained what, like 25 pounds?
Pookie
No more than that.
Michael Bostick
You don't need to know how much she had.
Jet
She didn't gain.
Pookie
When they weigh me, I'm like, get.
Michael Bostick
The out to him. I'm like, get out. Oh, I gained a pound in five weeks.
Pookie
Yeah.
Michael Bostick
All right, comments. So you, you guys get tons of comments. People are so engaged. How do you guys deal with negative comments? Do you guys not even look at it?
Jet
So, yeah, it's a good question because this applies. So it also, this applies way beyond social media. Like any form of success, whether it's business success, athletic success, it doesn't matter what type of success you're going to attract super lovers and super haters, and it's just sign of your success. So that's the first thing to keep in mind. And then, you know, like Joe Rogan for years would say, don't read the comments, kids. I think we kind of started out mostly not reading it. Then I went through a phase where I felt like I could learn from the comments. Like, I could get a sense of, like, what they want to see next or, like, play off things that were in the comments. You could even, like, get ideas from it. So there was a time when I was, I was doing that, and there was definitely some truth to that. I think now we're at a stage where we just kind of laugh at the negative comments and how ridiculous they are. They pretty much all stem from a place of jealousy. It's just part of being successful in any endeavor.
Pookie
I would, I wouldn't trade my life for anyone else's. And I think if somebody feels that way about you, like, there's something wrong with them internally. They have an internal problem. If they have something negative to say about someone they don't know, it is wild.
Jet
Some of the things they come up with, which, again, are hilarious. In some cases, they'll be like, oh, they don't have any furniture in their house. It's like, really? Like, do you actually follow us? Like, but with this totally made up rumors that they, I mean, they're, they're, you know, there's that 1% troll or whatever, 0.1% troll. But it's just funny that they will come up with very specific things to say that we find hilarious that are obviously not true. But it's just like, wow, how did you come up with that idea to be your troll comment?
Lauren Everts
I used to do the same thing. Like, in the early days of this show, I used to go in and read something like, I Wonder like there's some constructive stuff there. Maybe an idea, like, same thought process now. Like, I just. You can't. Because there's. There's just so much bullshit out there and gibberish and incoherent thought processes. And it just. What I realize is it really, if you're. If you're thinking about that stuff too constantly and you're. And you're paying too much attention, it really takes you out of what you really need to be focused on, which is putting out useful content or information or things that serve the people that are actually there. And to your point, you're never like, no matter what you're doing online, if you put yourself out there in any way, there's always going to be a segment of people that are upset. And we had. Who was it? Was it. We had Piers Morgan on yesterday, who's an interesting character, and he was saying.
Jet
They saw him yesterday, they saw him yesterday.
Michael Bostick
We should have all sat down and.
Pookie
Had a souffle together.
Michael Bostick
That would have been interesting.
Lauren Everts
But he was saying, like, you know, 20% of the world is on these platforms, and then 10% of that are the ones that are actively engaging. It's typically the loudest, most angry 10%. And you just gotta like, kind of keep that in context where if you walk around in the streets like normal people and just say hello to regular people, most people are very pleasant and very happy and very kind and have good intentions. And so you just kind of like have to have that perspective. Like, you have to keep in mind, like, what kind of individual is spending their time going and yelling at strangers.
Pookie
Like, it's just 1000. If you saw.
Jet
Think about. I mean, I have never made a negative comment on anyone's social media post in my life. Why would anyone do that?
Lauren Everts
Imagine if you wild in the Beverly Hills Hotel, enjoying your souffle, as you were, and I popped in out of nowhere. Like, you have no furniture. You'd be like, you, you would look at, like somebody would come and arrest me and take me to an asylum. You know what I mean? Like, it's insane behavior.
Jet
Yeah. I think the reason they make some of their troll comments so specific is because the troll thinks that people are more likely to believe it if it's a very specific thing. And it's just so twisted that that's the way they think. But yeah, I think, as we're saying, I think you mostly ignore it. And then if you do see a negative comment, just laugh about about it.
Pookie
It's also like, we meet so many people in person. And it is the best part of what we do.
Michael Bostick
They're all nice.
Pookie
They are the nice.
Jet
It's crazy.
Pookie
Literally, I was just in the bathroom. I had two girls say that I inspired them to be a working mom. And it's literally gonna make me cry because they're so nice.
Michael Bostick
It is like, they're so nice.
Jet
I mean, literally, in person. 99.9. Maybe even 0.99. I mean, that literally. I think in, like, the last two years, of all the thousands and thousands people we've met, there's maybe been like, one or two negative interactions. Like, it is over 99.9% positive.
Pookie
And, yeah, they say the night they.
Jet
Literally make us cry sometimes. I mean, it is incredible. They say that we give them inspiration to find the type of love that we have or hope to build the type of love that we have. Or they say that we make their day or we make their spouse's day. It is unreal. And some of them get really over the top with it, but it can make our day sometimes the best part.
Pookie
Of what we do, because we. When you. When you're out in public, you. You can really see how much of an impact you're making, like, on someone's life.
Jet
Yeah. Cause that's our goal.
Pookie
That means everything to us.
Michael Bostick
Well, I will tell you, I told you this. The whole office in Austin and Los Angeles were so excited that you guys were coming in. It's, you know, it's not very excited. There's a lot of different people that come in and out of here. Not for just our show, for all the shows. And you're. You guys were quite the hit.
Lauren Everts
No. And, you know, like, as I've gotten to know both of you here in the short period of time, like, I like what you're doing a lot, because to your point, in the very beginning of the conversation, there's a ton of negativity. You don't have to search for it. It's readily available for anyone that opens any kind of screen on any kind of platform. And I think, you know what our experience has been, especially doing the show and talking to as many people as we had. Like, most people are good people with good intentions that want to put good things into the world. And that's the high majority of people that we meet out when we're running around. And I think it's a good thing to kind of bring that kind of stuff to attention and kind of minimize some of the negativity out there, because there's. It's readily available But I do think it is the minority of people that think that way and want to live that way.
Jet
Yeah. I mean, as I said the beginning, we as humans are just biologically programmed to focus on the negative because it used to be a survival instinct, otherwise you'd better get eaten by a tiger or starve to death, you know, in the early days. But because of that, like the media of all kinds, whether it's a newspaper, whether it's a magazine, whether it's, you know, major broadcast news network, or whether it's social media, they all prey on our negativity bias is what it's called. They use our negativity bias to addict us, to drive up viewership. They've done it for literally thousands of years. That's what the media has always done. But you're right, that makes it seem like the world is this extremely negative place, but it's actually just because it's a manipulation technique that magnifies the negativity and addicts us to the negativity. And in that landscape, we are a source of positivity and love and family values, and we authentically love out loud. And that's what makes us stand out. Because in the media landscape, broadly speaking, and the social media landscape specifically, either way, it's a negative landscape, and us loving authentically out loud is a bright light. And that's what makes us unique, different, and that's what makes us successful. You know, I think a lot of times you need to focus on whatever it is that makes you unique. Whatever you're doing, whether you're an investment banker, whether you're a social media star, it doesn't matter. Like, find out something. Find something that you do uniquely, something that's unique about you, and, like, use that unique element to your advantage.
Pookie
And, yeah, we hear. That's what we hear when we meet people in person, too, is like, this content made them feel good. It made them feel happier.
Michael Bostick
Yeah.
Pookie
And that is what keeps me going. That's what makes me feel good. That is really. That's my purpose.
Michael Bostick
You know what made me happy? When you pushed out a baby and there was a big orange box waiting for you. If anyone's looking for any ideas, I.
Jet
Do like to give picky gifts.
Pookie
Yes, I like to receive gifts.
Michael Bostick
I do want you to wrap it in cellophane, because I get nervous about the hospital. Oh, I. I like, get nervous about the germs, but I. You could take some inspiration.
Lauren Everts
Orange boxes.
Jet
I noticed you're a mess bag when we. When you walked in.
Pookie
Yeah, we Have. We have matching, so I'm sure you.
Jet
Got plenty of them.
Lauren Everts
I hit the wrong switch in the house. An orange box flies and hits me in the face. Let me tell you something about.
Jet
No, I concur.
Pookie
Especially with certain brands.
Jet
No, I concur.
Lauren Everts
Let me tell you something about these investments, though.
Michael Bostick
That it is an investment.
Lauren Everts
They're investments. If eventually you sell them right, they're.
Pookie
Never going to get.
Michael Bostick
Well, this is my plan. I'll. I'll expose my plan. I want to get as many as possible so in case you die. I'm dead serious. I swear to God, everyone thinks I'm joking when I say this. I'm dead serious. In case something happens to you. I have all my little. Like a squirrel collects acorns. That's one of my little acorns.
Lauren Everts
If all of a sudden the orange box market gets flooded with things, you'll know I'm gone. You'll know I'm finished.
Jet
That's hilarious. Yeah. I often refer to Hermes bags as stranded assets. That's the technical term in the finance world. A stranded asset, meaning it'll never be sold.
Michael Bostick
You know what? I think I've analyzed it. I think that the comments that you guys are getting are because there is some people that are unhappy in their own marriage and they're just like projecting that onto you because they see a happy marriage. That's where I would think they're coming from.
Jet
That's definitely where some of it comes from. And just jealousy in a broader sense, whether it's for. Because of our lifestyle, whatever it is. I mean, I think it's mostly irrelevant, you know.
Pookie
Yeah. I also think that, like, maybe people don't believe that we're really in love. Like, maybe that's what that. Or maybe that that's what they feel. But, like, it's.
Michael Bostick
I hate to break it to your Reddit, they're in love. They're in love. Everyone on Reddit, I'm seeing them in person. I saw them off. They're in love.
Pookie
We're totally obsessed.
Jet
We're in love. And again, we really feel that our purpose is to put our love into the world as inspiration for others. Like, we want to. We want to have a positive impact on the culture. When I see, whether social media stars or musicians or whatever, any famous person, like, we all collectively help shape the culture. And I want, you know, to the extent that we can, I want to positively shape the culture. Positively shape it, make it something we're proud of, create a media landscape that we all want our kids to grow up in.
Pookie
We also want to encourage people to be in love.
Michael Bostick
Yeah.
Jet
And to get married and to have kids. I mean, we, again, we want to positively shape the culture. It's love, positivity, and family values. And. And to us, family values means that it's no longer you and her, it's you together as a union. And that's exactly what we want to put out into the landscape.
Lauren Everts
Let's talk about Armor Colostrum. Ever since Lauren and I had the founder of Armor on this podcast and discovered the incredible benefits of Armor Colostrum, we have not been able to stop talking about it.

How has your life changed since you guys had a baby and became parents? What's the differences?
Jet
It's not even better.
Michael Bostick
You love her.
Pookie
We're so happy.
Michael Bostick
And does the baby go with you? Are you posting her on social media a lot? How do you think about all of this?
Pookie
It's a lot for sure. Yeah, I think we didn't really know how we would, you know, share her and I think that's just always about going to be evolving. But we, she's a part of our family and she's everything to us so we're obviously going to share her but we definitely have to to balance that properly and you know, we don't want to only share her or we want to, you know, make sure she fits into our life and we want her to travel with us. Like we want her to be ever. Like she's the ultimate travel growing and yeah, she really is the ultimate travel companion.
Jet
Yeah, she's with, she's with us right now in LA and we took her to Aspen a couple months ago and she's just so warm and so cuddly and I mean literally on the flight out here to California, I help held her for the entire like four and a half hour flight and it just made the flight.
Pookie
She didn't make a pee.
Jet
She's a very well behaved baby and she's like the happiest baby. She just smiles and laughs.
Michael Bostick
Guys, come back on the podcast in two years. Yeah, enjoy this phase. They lay there. They lay there in two years. No, but a boy is no earlier.
Lauren Everts
Than a girl, 18 months. The flying gets interesting. I want to report after that.
Jet
Oh, I'm sure, I'm sure we're taking advantage of this special time now.
Michael Bostick
This is actually a really fun stage. I personally am very excited to have a newborn and it's so fun because they, they just chill.
Jet
So your first two are what genders?
Michael Bostick
I have a girl just like you guys first and then a boy and I would Say, the girls, this is my experience, are more complex. So the hair has to be a specific angle, and the bow has to be like. Like this color. The outfits are a big deal. And then a boat, a boy is like, really a presence. It's lumbering, but they're like, more simple. So it's a bull in a china shop. So it's just. It's different.
Jet
I think we gotta take offense to that. Right, Mike? What do you mean we're more simple?
Michael Bostick
Oh, you guys are.
Lauren Everts
I am so complex, Lauren. I. I have real thoughts and feelings.
Michael Bostick
And how are you guys dealing with the fame that's come along with this? When you guys are out to eat and people are coming up to you.
Lauren Everts
Screaming at you about your one car.
Michael Bostick
No, no one's saying. I don't think anyone's saying negative in person. How are you guys dealing with just, like, get. You're getting recognized all the time.
Jet
Yeah. I mean, like Campbell said earlier, in a lot of ways, it's the best part of it. I mean, certainly it can feel overwhelming at times, but we. We're very grateful for it.
Michael Bostick
Yeah.
Jet
I mean, you know, when we walk into a hotel lobby or down the street or in a restaurant, like, yeah, we have all these people coming up to us, but literally 99.9% of it is unbelievably positive. Like, things you could just never imagine that someone would say to you.
Pookie
Yeah.
Jet
And the fact that that's now our everyday is just so special, and we're so grateful, and it's evidence that we are positively impacting the culture, which is exactly what we want. We want to be a source of love for people and happiness for people and also family values. And our viewers appreciate that about us. And as were peers in the industry when we, you know, as I'm sure it happens with you guys, like, once you get into this space, you start to meet all your peers in the space, and they all really recognize and appreciate that about us. And. And we're just. We're very grateful for the impact that we're able to have.
Pookie
The fact that people would come up to me and say that I'm a positive role model for them is something that I never would have thought that would come from this. And so I take pride in that. Like, I feel like I have something to, you know, live up to and that I have kind of a. Just a different role than I ever thought that I would have in social media world and that people look up to me and say that they want to be like me or you know, have a child like mine is something that's really endearing and I definitely take pride in that. So being able to hear that in person is just like the best part of all of this.
Michael Bostick
It sounds like you get a lot of purpose from what you do. I do, I do.
Pookie
I really do. From being a mom and also from sharing our love and meeting people and telling them for them, telling us what an impact we've made on that.
Jet
Yeah, I think if you have real purpose in what you do beyond just the money and the fame. And again, doesn't matter what type of career you have, if you have purpose, then you're likely going to be better at that career and you're going to enjoy it a lot more. So, yeah, we're very blessed that we have what we think is a very high purpose. To be a source of love and to help positively shape the culture and promote family values and people getting married and having kids. And none of it's in your face. It's just for authentic life. But by putting our authentic life out there, all those things come with it. And we're very, very proud of that purpose and we're very conscious of it.
Michael Bostick
What I think is so interesting is Michael and I have interviewed a lot of different people and I've never heard someone come on and say we're promoting the. The specialness of marriage and we're promoting love. And we're like sort of. That's like the message. I think that's really interesting. Really cool.
Jet
Thank you.
Michael Bostick
People would be mad if I didn't ask. Beauty, Hair Diet Far Away Secrets. You look amazing. Give us like, give us some of your. Well, lots of what's on your skin.
Jet
Waffles.
Pookie
So Jet and I are both mouth tapers.
Michael Bostick
Okay. We love.
Pookie
That's recent, but we are more recent. But now we like don't go to bed without mouth.
Michael Bostick
I have some mouth tape for you guys. It's pink. Sorry.
Jet
No, I've actually used yours before.
Michael Bostick
Wow.
Jet
Doesn't matter to me what color it is.
Michael Bostick
I need a picture of him in the mouth tape. I'm sorry, you might have to capture that.
Jet
I don't know about love that one, but I know I have, I have. Yours are actually the first one I ever used.
Lauren Everts
It will go with your shirt, how you look.
Jet
Cuz when we first got into that, she. She had some of yours. And so that's what I started out with.
Michael Bostick
It's.
Jet
It.
Michael Bostick
It works. What, Other than mouth tape, what else?
Pookie
I love to sauna. Okay, so we have a New sauna at our house. I love it.
Michael Bostick
Infrared or barrel?
Pookie
It's.
Jet
It's a traditional finish sauna. Yeah, we. We have a sauna and cold plunge. I. I cold plunge every day. I can't get her into the cold punching, but she sauna's with me.
Michael Bostick
I think that it's funny. It's kind of hard after birth to get cold. It feels like off putting.
Pookie
I am so cold natured as a person. Like, I'm rarely sweating and I'm cold before I even get in the cold plunge. That's why I can't do it. He's like, that's your B.S.
Jet
Excuse, baby.
Pookie
I'm like free. I'm like shivering outside of the cold plunge. Like, how could I get in? I'm already cold.
Jet
All right. But anyway, sauna, Keep going.
Pookie
Sauna. I love Pilates. I do yoga. Pilates. Not. I'm just easing back into it now. So. I've really, really given myself grace since I've had my baby. And I think it's so hard. There's so many opinions on, like when you should get back into working out. And I've really given myself grace and I will say he has been so supportive of that and just. Just made me feel so good. In a time where your body is just not the same and it's.
Jet
It can be actually even better. But yeah, I mean, something that.
Pookie
Right. I'm like, I need to lose £15.
Jet
Something like something that Campbell does that I think is. Is. Is a big key to her. There's her overall health. Is. Is portion control. Like we constantly eat these insane, extravagant dinners and meals. And just like we show social media that's all. All real. I mean, we've always done that. We're obsessed with food and we have like really extravagant meals. But the same. That might be our only meal that day. Like, we both eat very little for breakfast slash lunch. And there's we also intermittent fast. Like we don't eat till like 12 or even 2, and then we might have like a little something at that time for breakfast slash lunch. But then for dinner we'll have like a really over the top meal. But the overall calorie consumption is not that high because it was just one big meal a day for the most.
Pookie
Part before I got pregnant. I was extreme, intermittent faster. Like 2pm every day.
Michael Bostick
Wow.
Pookie
2Pm to like intermittent fasting is the.
Jet
Main health thing she does.
Pookie
Yeah.
Michael Bostick
What's the pookie and jet cocktail?
Jet
God. And so many. We love cocktails.
Michael Bostick
I love it.
Pookie
Jett loves a Good cocktail.
Michael Bostick
That's hard about pregnancy. No one talks about that, huh? It's hard not to have a margarita.
Pookie
It's hard. Yeah, it is hard. And anyone that doesn't say that his.
Jet
Least favorite part of being pregnant was no cocktail.
Pookie
It just. I don't like to. I don't like to be drunk. I just like to enjoy a nice drink.
Lauren Everts
Like, I'm glad you guys say this because some of this culture is quitting on us. We need some of this. Alcohol consumption is plumbing.
Pookie
I just like.
Jet
Not for us or our friend groove, that's for sure. But yeah, we have seen that broadly t. Especially down 20% in the current generation. So, yeah, pick YouTube. Tell me your favorite cocktail.
Michael Bostick
Tell us your cocktail.
Pookie
Extra dirty martini, blue cheese, olives. My go to with vodka.
Jet
I mean, I have a. I have a lot. I mean, for years, my go to cocktail was a bullet rye old fashioned on Big Rock.
Michael Bostick
More recently, he's kind of a comedian.
Jet
This is how I am 24 7. Like, it's just.
Pookie
We just got started. We should have a drink and then we'll.
Michael Bostick
When I can have a drink, I'll be. I'll be coming to Atlanta.
Lauren Everts
Okay. Last night you're in the hotel Polo Lounge. What's your first order?
Jet
So the Polo Lounge. Yesterday I had two of their cocktails off the menu with tequila based cocktails and also mezcal cocktail. But it more typically I get, like I said, the old fashioned or recently I've been into Manhattan's up also with rye whiskey.
Michael Bostick
Yum.
Jet
I do paper planes with bourbon. I love tequila and mezcal Grapefruit, right? No, no, paper plain. I actually don't know the. The recipe, but it's a very balanced cocktail. Like, it's bourbon, but it's so balanced that. That even girls typically like it. Campbell actually likes it. I think it actually has a little bit of aperol, but the aperol balances out with the bourbon. I don't normally like aperol, but with bourbon it balances. Yeah, I mean, like I said, we're really into food, really into drinks. Love wine as well.
Michael Bostick
What about makeup, hair? Do you do your own makeup? Do you have someone who helps you? What's social media? I'm sure would love to know what's the mascara you use with these eyelashes? Tell us.
Pookie
I typically do my own hair makeup. Not today, but typically I do my own hair and makeup. I love a like blowout look. That's kind of like my signature look. I love just like loose waves, kind of effortless look. And I typically.
Jet
And I told her she can get a blood every day if she wants. I love it too, that you want.
Pookie
To blow out every day.
Jet
I tell her that she can get a blowout every day if she wants and spray tan.
Lauren Everts
Oh, I tell her the same thing. I thought you said something different.
Pookie
I. I typically wear, like, no foundation. I like concealer, cream, bronzer. I like all cream products. Cream, concealer, bronzer, and blush. And then I'll, like, do a little bit of powder and then mascara. I love the. I used, like, a really affordable one. The MCO one.
Jet
Yeah. Shout out to our partner, MC Beauty.
Pookie
Shout out.
Michael Bostick
Is that actually true? Because she has great eyelashes.
Pookie
I use. Yeah, I, I love the MCO one. I. I use a lot of, like. I feel like affordable mascara is the best mascara.
Michael Bostick
Everyone needs to go run to listen to this podcast or rather watch this podcast on YouTube because the guys were just shaking their head. I was watching you guys both out of my peripheral. You're shaking your head when she's talking about cream bronzer. You guys have have no fucking idea what she does.
Lauren Everts
What does the fuck you want me to do? Lauren, when you go to these segments.
Michael Bostick
Michael's like, oh, yeah, I've been doing.
Lauren Everts
This fucking show for so long. We go into these segments every time.
Michael Bostick
People want to do.
Lauren Everts
What do you want me to do in these things? When you go in with the. What's the beauty?
Jet
I don't know.
Michael Bostick
But you don't even shake your head.
Lauren Everts
Okay, I'll sit here. Stone face.
Michael Bostick
Yeah. Michael's like, huh.
Lauren Everts
You know what'd be funny? Video segment is while this whole segment's going on, maybe not for the show because we got to see you, but for maybe some other guests, we can just have it zone in on me. You know what I mean? And when they're going to the beauty, you could just have it focus on my reaction the whole time.
Michael Bostick
I do have an idea for you guys.
Pookie
So one thing that I do think is important to know for beauty in. In my mind, a tan. For me, I need to have like a. A base tan or like a spray tan for sure. But I think that allows me to wear less makeup, and I personally love that. I feel more confident when I have less makeup on, but I have a tan.
Michael Bostick
Yeah, totally. Especially when you're post, baby, a tan is great.
Pookie
A tan. So.
Jet
Yeah, I already mentioned that. I said you can have it. You can have a blowout every day if you want. Spray tan every day if you want. But my two piece of advice beyond that Would be. Hair is most important. There's a reason in Hollywood they say hair and makeup. Like, a hair like this. I'm dead serious. Like, oh, we know. If a woman wants to look her best, her hair has got to look good, period. So hairs. Hair is the most important thing. And makeup. I feel like a lot of girls these days are wearing too much makeup.
Michael Bostick
Agreed.
Jet
You know, Campbell just said that she likes to wear not that much. That's absolutely true. She doesn't wear that much. That's the way to go. That that more natural look needs to. Needs to come back. I think it kind of started to come back, and then it kind of faded. It needs to come back.
Michael Bostick
You know what I like to do to Michael? I like to look so ugly at the house. Like, ragged.
Lauren Everts
You don't look ugly.
Michael Bostick
Disgusting. Like, so ugly. Like, the worst outfit. Like, horrible. And then I like him to leave. And then I like to go through the car wash, I call it, and get ready. And then I like to remind him who he marries and walk in.
Lauren Everts
Who the hell is that?
Michael Bostick
It's like, I like the juxtaposition of it.
Lauren Everts
I keep it on point always.
Michael Bostick
Though I do have an idea for you guys, and maybe you've already done this, but I think you guys should do this. I think that you guys should sit down and read all the crazy furniture comments and read what people are saying that it's so ridiculous. Like, you know, have you ever seen on Jimmy Kimmel when, like, the Kim Kardashian, like, reads all her crazy comments?
Pookie
Yeah.
Jet
Yeah.
Michael Bostick
You guys have, like, the furniture one and the car one. Like, those are so funny. If you guys read them, people would just dial out nothing.
Jet
Like, in the sports world, like, they'll have, like, NFL draft picks do this. Like, Tom Brady and greatest quarterback of all time. And he'll read, like, the draft notes from the combine. I'll be like, too skinny, too slow, can't jump. Not athletic.
Michael Bostick
I just need to do that.
Jet
And it's like, okay, well, he won seven Super Bowls. I guess. He's actually pretty athletic.
Michael Bostick
That's why it's funny, though. It's like, you guys have built this. You guys. You've put your love out there, and people are talking about furniture and how many cars you have. I think the people would like it. It'd be very funny to hear it with your voice.
Jet
We've actually thought about doing that.
Michael Bostick
You should.
Jet
