WEBVTT - Which Brides Are Still Friends And Which F***ing Hate Each Other?

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome back to the Math twenty podcast with

0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:05.400
<v Speaker 1>me Joshua Fox. On last night's Married at First Sight,

0:00:05.559 --> 0:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>we saw female friendships fall apart with lines draw in

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>the Sanders. Loyalties were made abundantly clear. Take a listen

0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:16.720
<v Speaker 1>to this. I'm not backing Lauren. I want everyone to

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:20.680
<v Speaker 1>come together. Then stand up for me too, Karena, We've

0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:23.280
<v Speaker 1>done our time. We've literally I've had drawback, I've ad

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>everyone's back. Defend me. Maybe, what do you want me

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:31.319
<v Speaker 1>to say? Like, raise my arms? Raight, chill, chill out.

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:37.519
<v Speaker 1>My friends have completely dropped the bulk. What started as

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Lauren machine wearing snob going up against the apparently boganic

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Jamie soon dragged Karina and Re into it, who seemingly

0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:48.240
<v Speaker 1>sided with Lauren. And well, all of this was filmed

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>six months ago and a lot of shit has happened

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.600
<v Speaker 1>since then. Oh and my reference to Lauren being a

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Sheene wearing snob is no judgment to the fact that

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 1>she was wearing an eight dollars ninety five Spicy Margarita

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 1>T shirt from Sheen on last night's episode. We all

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:05.920
<v Speaker 1>love a bagging. It's more the absolute hilarity in the

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 1>fact that just twenty four hours earlier, she went on

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>this whole elitist rant about Athena only being able to

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>afford nylon hair extensions, which apparently meant Athena was beneath her,

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.399
<v Speaker 1>because you know, Lauren is used to the more finer

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>things in life. Then the next day she pulls out

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>a holiday wardrobe full of sheen consumer and please make

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.199
<v Speaker 1>that make sense. Anyway, As I said, this was all

0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 1>filmed six months ago now, and you're probably wondering, well,

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>who's friends and who's still holding a grudge, And don't worry,

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I've got the answers for you. But before I get

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 1>to that, a few of you pointed out something interesting

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>to me that you spotted during the retreat last night

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>that I'm going to be honest, I completely missed it.

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>And it is the fact that as the Castroole kind

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>of sat there as a group, Paul was holding what

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 1>looked to be a beer and drinking alongside everyone else.

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>And if you confused why that's slightly problematic, it's because

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>remember my chat with career her on Sunday where she

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 1>revealed this. At the end of the day, I felt

0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>safe and it was up to me Essentially, he was

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:10.920
<v Speaker 1>banned from alcohol for the rest of the series. They

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>gave him therapy sessions every Saturday morning, so there was

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things that had to come in in

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>the place for it to be a safe fan That

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 1>was Karina basically saying that one of the conditions of

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Paul being able to stay on the show after the

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>domestic violence incident was that he was banned from drinking

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of the season. But there he was

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>with what looked like a beer. I can't confirm this.

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to figure out exactly what the drink is,

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>so I'm going to post a screenshot to Instagram. So

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>can you all go on after you listen to this

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:45.079
<v Speaker 1>to help me id what was Paul drinking. Anyway, now

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:48.079
<v Speaker 1>back to who's friends and who fucking hates each other?

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:50.960
<v Speaker 1>As well as me being told about the present day

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 1>friendships and feuds, I've actually seen the existing divides and

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>drama with my very eyes, and as far as I

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 1>can see, there's currently three groups amongst brides of this

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:04.799
<v Speaker 1>year's season. You've got the Core four, the plus ones,

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:09.359
<v Speaker 1>and the rejects. So at the center of everything, yeah,

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.200
<v Speaker 1>we've got the Core four and that is Jamie, Athena,

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Karna and Ree. They're kind of like the current glue

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.919
<v Speaker 1>at the center of all friendships. And following the scenes

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>we watched last night, it's no surprise that despite the

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>four of them all being tight, Jamie and Athena add

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 1>a little bit closer on one side of the core four,

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 1>and then on the other side you've got Ree and

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Karna who seem a little bit closer. But that being said,

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>the four of them are still friends as a group,

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 1>like as far as I'm told, Jamie has moved past

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 1>what happened at the retreat, and you know, they're all friends.

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>And then on the outer circle of the core four,

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I've made that turn up, by the way, but I

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of like it, so can we make it? I

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>think we've got the plus ones. And there you've got

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 1>intruder Beth, who seems a little bit more aligned with

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Athena and Jamie given the fact that I've seen it

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 1>like hanging out with them more in tickto and just

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 1>like present day stuff. And then you've got Ashley and Katie, who,

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>as far as I can tell, are kind of friends

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>with everyone, but they're not necessarily as close with everyone.

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Mostly given the fact that they left the experiments so early,

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 1>and also, as far as I'm told, there's not really

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.279
<v Speaker 1>much drama between all of those brides there, the core

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 1>for and the plus ones, And you know, it's only naturally,

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I suppose that over time, you know, some people become

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 1>closer than others. It's like, did anyone go in Akontikito

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:30.600
<v Speaker 1>when you're younger? Because when you do, you're kind of

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 1>friends with everyone. But then when you all return home

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.039
<v Speaker 1>and back to your real lives and you know, these

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>distance between you, some friendships will naturally fade a little bit,

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 1>whereas some people you kind of just keep a daily

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:43.839
<v Speaker 1>back and forth with on the WhatsApp, you know, So

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.920
<v Speaker 1>that kind of seems what's happened here. As I said,

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:50.479
<v Speaker 1>you've got like Jamie and Afina seem closer with Beth

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:52.920
<v Speaker 1>hanging with them a bit more than you've got re

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>and Karina, who seem a little bit closer. But then

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 1>everyone's still hanging out as a big group. And now

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 1>we have the rejec the ones who aren't in the

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 1>group chats, and the ones who aren't invited to the

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>big catchups like that Valentine's Day lunch that I rocked

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>up to And as far as I'm told, the biggest

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:16.359
<v Speaker 1>outcasts of this season are Jackie, Lauren, and Sierra, which

0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I suppose comes as no surprise to anyone. Marena also

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of falls into this category, like people are catching

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.600
<v Speaker 1>up without her and she doesn't seem to be invited

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>to like the big lunches. But I believe that she's

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.720
<v Speaker 1>still in contact with a couple of the brides, and

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I suppose she is like older and her kids and

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, a bit more going on than maybe the

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 1>younger ones who are going for lunches constantly. And then lastly,

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 1>we've got Veronica, and she's quite an interesting one because again,

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>as far as I'm told, she left the show with

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 1>only one kind of real friend who she's still tight with,

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 1>and that's Karina. But interestingly, something I'm also told about

0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 1>this year's female friendships is that no one is necesscessarily

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>making people pick sides or whatever like we've seen with

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 1>previous casts, Like if one bride dislikes another, she's not

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>then saying to her friend, Hey, you can't hang out

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:10.359
<v Speaker 1>with her because I hate Like, if you want to

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 1>be my friend, you have to choose my side, Like

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.159
<v Speaker 1>apparently everyone's kind of cheer with Oh, well, you know,

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that one. But yeah, you go hang

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:18.839
<v Speaker 1>out with her if you want. I don't care anyway. Yeah,

0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 1>there's your update. So Jamie has moved past the retreat drama.

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:28.840
<v Speaker 1>She's forgiven Karina and Rey. Everything's good. Goodbye. Oh Also,

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.800
<v Speaker 1>if you're still listening, I've spent the past week doing

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>another investigation. This one's bigger than the last one. The

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 1>episode's going to be longer, and one I'm going to

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 1>reveal in it is even more shocking. Stay tuned, guys,

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.480
<v Speaker 1>It's coming very soon. I don't know why I'm whispering.

0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.479
<v Speaker 1>There's no one in the studio with me, just letting

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 1>you in on the secret. That's why I've not been

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.599
<v Speaker 1>posting much on Instagram the last couple of days, because

0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:56.680
<v Speaker 1>this has consumed me. As I said, stay tuned,
