Schwartz and Sandoval, both 38, also plan to use the meeting to tell the couple aboutthe new dining establishmentthey are preparing to launch.
“I don’t know if I want to say anything right now, just because we have so much to do,” Schwartz tells Sandoval beforehand. “But Lisa, I think she knows that we’re opening a new spot.”
While Sandoval notes in a confessional how “amazing” it is to see Ken and Lisa after TomTom was temporarily shuttered amid the COVID-19 pandemic, he admits he’s “slightly” nervous due to their outside business venture.

“Alright, I heard [something] — and I would just like to hear it from you,” she says. “Are you guys opening another restaurant or a bar?”
