WEBVTT - What Happened After Final Vows For Awhina And Adrian...

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome back to the Mass Funny Podcast with

0:00:02.400 --> 0:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>me Joshua Fox. A very quick update this morning, as

0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I have woken up to an inbox full of people

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:11.800
<v Speaker 1>asking me why did Athena change her mind? What happened

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>next between them? And why did they then break up

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 1>for good? In real life? And as far as I

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.279
<v Speaker 1>can tell from my brief chats with Athena before watching

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>last night's episode and my chats with on my various

0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:24.920
<v Speaker 1>other sneaky sauces in the Maths world, I am told

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:28.680
<v Speaker 1>that Athena really was set on dumping Adrian and she

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>was adamant it was going to end for good at

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>the final of our ceremony, but then seeing him there

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:36.840
<v Speaker 1>and you know, being back in his orbit, with him

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>standing in front of her smiling, she once again kind

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>of disregarded all the bad and only four of the

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>good times together, which is why she was in Like fuck,

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 1>is is this the right decision that we see in?

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>This is too black and white? Maybe let's go hang

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:53.600
<v Speaker 1>out after this? And and look, I was disappointed watching that,

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>and we can judge Afina on that, But as I've

0:00:56.160 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>already said, let's remember the patterns of controlling behavior. Throughout

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>their relationship. Let's remember the manipulation from production, and let's

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 1>also remember kind of Athenas will feel sad to say,

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.919
<v Speaker 1>but maybe lack of self worth or self confidence going

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 1>into the show while set on having a fairy tale

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 1>after you know, coming out of such a long term

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>relationship before that, and having no dating experience since breaking

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.400
<v Speaker 1>up of a childhood sweet at I genuinely do believe

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>that all these factors did come into player last night

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.319
<v Speaker 1>and were behind how Athena kind of backflipped and changed

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:33.399
<v Speaker 1>her mind anyway to move on to happier news. As

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 1>far as I'm told, once they filmed last night's episode

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 1>back in November, and they then went and hung out

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>afterwards that evening they both pretty much knew it was

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:42.960
<v Speaker 1>still never going to work, you know, with the distance

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 1>and everything else, and then walking off together was more

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>about just having another night or two back in their

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>bubble of when things were good and those good times

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>before Athena then flew back to path and it was

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>only then that they both kind of knew that's when

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be officially over, which is apparently what

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>did happen then. As I'm told, once, Afena did make

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 1>it back to path. Things fizzled out quite quickly with

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe Adrian. I don't know if i'd say ghost him,

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>but like maybe, you know, replying less and less and less,

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>And then Athena gradually just saw the lights again, and

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 1>with him no longer being around, she could actually move

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 1>on properly and realize their relationship was never the fairy

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>tale that she'd romanticized as. And lastly, before I wrap this,

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 1>if you're also wondering why Athena then agreed to meet

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.919
<v Speaker 1>up with Adrian on Valentine's Day, if you remember that

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:31.919
<v Speaker 1>video I took of her sneaking off from the girl's

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.520
<v Speaker 1>lunch to kind of meet Adrian and you know, things

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>like that, despite her and Adrian being long over by

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.359
<v Speaker 1>that point. I'm told this is because Athena still saw

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 1>the good in Adrian and she felt protective of him

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>when he was getting slammed so much in the media

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:48.679
<v Speaker 1>and by fans. But ultimately, over time she realized, no,

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't actually owe you nothing, and once saw Stephen

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 1>tells me that after a while, Athena for Adrian might

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>even be using her as some kind of damage controlled

0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>pr movie, you know, to distract from the backlash she

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>was receiving. I'm fairly sure that everything I've said in

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 1>this little podcast is true in a roundabout way. The

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>actual specifics may vary a little, but this is pretty

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>much what I'm told by multiple people about how things

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 1>played out after final vows. Neither Athena or Adrian can

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>speak freely about any of this until next week, when

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the show probably ends and they go do the usual

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:26.359
<v Speaker 1>radio today's show circuit of interviews. So I suppose we'll

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>wait and see what happens then. Until then, have a

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>lovely day, and sorry for any background knows you heard

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 1>in this podcast. I'm recording this at six am in

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 1>my bedroom. The wind is howling outside, the rain is

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 1>battering against my window, and it all feels very bleak

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 1>and very accurate given the contents of this episode and

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>what we watched last night. Goodbye,
