Recording from the lovely new humble abode of the CEO, this week's episode has the Quarantings crew going to school just in time for hot girl summer. The subject? The art of setting up a dating roster. Professor Kristen starts off with a lesson on the evolution of dating. How do you select the right people to ensure championship level success? Are you toxic if you have a roster? What is the ideal roster size? How do you keep up the proper communication with all the players on your team? Are there people that shouldn't have a roster but try to anyways? Can Kristen convince Lume to assemble one? How do you stop the roster from blowing up into full on drama? What is it like setting up the roster IRL vs on the dating apps? This leads the class off track to talk about Kristen's dating profiles and if they need improvement or not. QQH(49:29): First Lume tries to convince Kristen that she as a real Star Wars fan, needs to give "The Bad Batch" another chance. Then Kristen gives her most dual sided review of a movie yet, talking through whether or not "Z for Zachariah" is good or not. Kristen gives a breakdown of the US Open 2021 aka who she will be creeping on when she watches live on vacation. They close out the episode inspired by all of Kristen's sports analogies by reviewing the recent NBA playoff action and the Euro Cup 2020 (yes they're still calling it 2020).
In this fun episode, Kristen and Jessica play catch up and discuss Jessica's farm. Then Kristen interviews Intruder Purple from the band Masked Intruder. She takes a break from stealing cars and wallets to tell us about how and why she joined the band, why The Bombpops are blowing up her phone, and her new tee shirt for charity. Songs: How Do I Get to You, and Crazy, by Masked Intruder
(SPOILERS) I begin by briefly going over some things happening with “Bachelorette” filming. Then Kristen joins me (7:30) to give her take on all the “Bachelorette” news from the past month – Clare/Tayshia, how does she think they’re handling the pandemic, JoJo/Chris Harrison, how will the season hold up ratings wise, etc. We also then talk about DWTS and Big Brother filming during a pandemic, before wrapping up with her thoughts on some upcoming scripted shows she’s had the chance to screen early.

They share about precious memories that they have over the years of times when they prepared their homes for others to enjoy and why the love of God, and the love of a family are meant to be shared. Then Kristen is joined by Chystal Evans Hurst who shares how she teaches her children to practically make room for others and how we care for our own souls while pouring out to those who need us.

Psalm 68:6 "God settles the solitary in a home; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a parched land." Matthew 25: 31-46 " “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left. “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’ “Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’ Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not [a]take care of You?’ Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” LINKS TO FIND CHRYSTAL EVANS HURST Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChrystalHurst/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrystalHurst Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrystalhurst/ Blog: http://chrystalevanshurst.com/
