0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Wind Down with Janet Kramer and I Heart Radio Podcast.

0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Hi girls, Hi, Hey, Okay, I have things I have

0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>to say. There's a lot of things to say. There's

0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things. Where would you like to start.

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's start with the Tom's Oh Tom, Tom, Double Tom,

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Double Tom. Because the apologies that the apologies have come out,

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Tom sand of all you guys, I'm like invested in

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.040
<v Speaker 1>a show that I've never watched. I literally didn't even

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 1>know what these people look like. But I'm now invested.

0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:48.880
<v Speaker 1>I do know, and you know what, I just want

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>to I want to pause there and say that if

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.520
<v Speaker 1>you've been invested since the very beginning of this show,

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I am by no means like, I'm not a bandwagoner.

0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>I just because of the topics discussed, feel a little

0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>more informed and so now I'm a little more invested

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>because they're getting a little defensive. The people that have

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>been like that have given their lives to the show,

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>are now a little defense. Yeah, okay, would you like me? Oh?

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Jackie just said, who broke it down? By the way,

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people were like, thanks for breaking it down,

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.559
<v Speaker 1>because we had no idea either. It was intense. Jackie

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>broke it down first, and she just said we welcome bandwagoners.

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:24.680
<v Speaker 1>That sounds like you're one of the good ones, Jackie.

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>So would you like to Would you like for me

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>to read Tom Sandoval's apology? Did we not already hear his? Well,

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:39.399
<v Speaker 1>all he did was say about his shorts and Sandy

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 1>bar and this is where we get off the danda wagon,

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and we've hopped off. Okay, so we did another. He

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>did another apology. He needed to because because he didn't

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>mention Arianna. I know that first one was not even

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>enough to read or not to read. That's the question

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>to read. Copy that. I want to first and foremost,

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>apology to everyone I've heard through this process. Most of all,

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I want to apologize to Ariana. I made mistakes. I

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 1>was selfish and made reckless decisions that hurt somebody I love.

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 1>No one deserves to feel that pain so traumatically and publicly.

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Copy that, Amen. I can only imagine how devastating this

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.239
<v Speaker 1>has been for Arianna and everyone around us. I feel

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 1>horrible about that. My biggest regret is that I dishonored Ariana.

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>I never meant to disappoint so many people, including our

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 1>loving families and friends. My love for Ariana was stronger

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>than any camera could have ever captured. Some of our

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 1>best times together were never filmed the same ghost for

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>some of our biggest struggles. I wish things happened in

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 1>a different order and our relationship was not severely tarnished,

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>and that it ended with the same respect with for

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>her that it began with. I owed Ariana better. I

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>am beyond sad that it ended the way that it did.

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 1>The choices I made hurt so many people. I acted

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 1>in a way that clashes with who and how I

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.079
<v Speaker 1>want to be. I will continue to reflect and work

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.080
<v Speaker 1>on myself. I have work to do, I always have

0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>and I always will. I wish that was the first

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>apology I agree with. It's a little cheapened to me

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>that we came out with the sandy bar or whatever

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 1>it was. Thing first I agree with that, but then

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I also think, well, he needed to take a second

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 1>with it to really sit with how because I just

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 1>don't think I'm glad he did take a second. I

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 1>just wish he would have maybe mentioned something like I

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.960
<v Speaker 1>have to formulate my thoughts around publicly apologizing Ariana. In

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>the meantime, please don't let my servers go broke because

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to like that would have been well,

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 1>but here's the here's the thing, and I'm going to

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>call myself out like my twenties cheating Janna, they're cheaters,

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 1>are selfish bottom line, I was selfish when I cheated.

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I was selfish. Sure, So they don't really care. They're

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 1>not going to go to the person that they hurt

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>because that's not their main concern. What was his main

0:03:54.600 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>concern at the Times bar? Yeah, oh yeah, I mean definitely.

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 1>And you know I said last week, and I don't

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 1>think it's a popular opinion. I don't like these public

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 1>apologies period. I don't like them. I don't think and

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm very unpopular. I realized that. But to me, none

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>of it ever sounds sincere. You're saying it for a

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.679
<v Speaker 1>millions of people, You're not saying it for the person

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.479
<v Speaker 1>you hurt. And that's just where I never can take

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>them fully seriously for what they are. Plus, I think

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 1>we all know too much on the back end on

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 1>like this industry side, where we know that a lot

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 1>of those apologies aren't written by the people that that

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 1>post them anyway doing it try and protect themselves, and

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 1>that that just I don't. I don't. I don't like them.

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.040
<v Speaker 1>They're not They're not my thing, Devil's advocate. If it

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 1>was someone close to you that was in the public eye,

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 1>I'd want an apology publicly, wouldn't you be like, where's

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 1>the apology? Use you're there. They've opened their lives, right

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 1>like the Kardashians, every people that do the reality shows.

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>You open your lives up for people to be in

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.360
<v Speaker 1>your life essentially, you know, I mean, you open yourself

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 1>up in here, Chris. You open so people feel like

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 1>they have a right to kind of dissect or whatever.

0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't you want to them to or if someone did

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:13.440
<v Speaker 1>that for then you to go. I feel deserved like

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I should get like I'm sorry, Yes, but I almost

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 1>think that they deserve a sorry that's from him or her,

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.840
<v Speaker 1>to them, to the people that were watching, to the

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 1>people that were invested. I'm sorry to you. That seems

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:27.840
<v Speaker 1>sincere to I see what you're saying, Okay, And if

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 1>you want to mention, and yes, there are things I'm

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.359
<v Speaker 1>dealing with the people that I hurt or whatever. But

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 1>if I'm that person that's hurt and I see a

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>public apology, but I'm not getting that personally f that

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't want your public apology. I want you to

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>be sincere and talk to me for real about what

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 1>really happened, you know, And so it just seems so

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, it just seems so like it's something

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>you have to do now ironically am writing between both

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>of you? Yeah, I mean, and I hear y'all like,

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm glad he did that at the same time,

0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 1>especially after the first one. But it's just like, you

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I mean, you know, is he really sorry?

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Is he really saying sorry to her? Who knows? I

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:08.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Would you like to hear Raquel's apology? Oh? Yeah, okay,

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I feel so in the No, there's no excuse. I

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.160
<v Speaker 1>am not a victim and I must own my actions,

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 1>and I deeply regret hurting Arianna. I want to apologize

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.039
<v Speaker 1>for my actions and my choices, foremost to Arianna and

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 1>to my friends and the fans, like you just said,

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 1>so invested in our relationships. There is no excuse. I'm

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:30.600
<v Speaker 1>not a victim and I must own actions deeply regret

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 1>ran I am reflecting on my choices, speaking to a counselor,

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'm learning things about myself, such as patterns of

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>codependency and addiction to being and feeling loved. I have

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 1>sought emotional validation through intimate connections that are not healthy

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.920
<v Speaker 1>without regard for my own well being, sometimes negatively affecting others,

0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>and often prioritize in the intimate connection over my friendships.

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm taking steps to understand my behavior and make healthier choices.

0:06:55.600 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>This is called love addiction. Is what this is? She

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.600
<v Speaker 1>says that or did you say that? I'm saying that

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:08.040
<v Speaker 1>because she didn't say that, but that is yes, yes, yes,

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 1>but that is the definition of a love addict, especially

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>like talking to account, like all the things around it,

0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 1>because I've become counseling to end my unhealthy behavioral cycle,

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 1>learned to set stronger emotions. I mean, but this is.

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:28.720
<v Speaker 1>And I was talking to another friend who is a

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 1>love addict, and she was saying, you know this is

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's she's basically saying she's a love addict

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 1>without saying she's a love addict. So just your thoughts

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 1>on that. I like hers better. Hers doesn't bother me

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>as much. I don't know. I think there's a lot

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 1>of ownership, but there's a lot of ownership, and it

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:52.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't feel like she is forcing herself to apologize to

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 1>these people, you know what I mean, it's just taking

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 1>ownership what she's doing, apologize to the fans. You know,

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I occurs better. What do you think

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 1>about the addiction piece of it? Oh, I think that

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>there's definitely true. I don't know anything about her, but

0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I think there's definitely truth to love addiction. Okay, but

0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 1>correct me if I'm wrong. Did you believe or not

0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 1>believe in sex addiction? I don't know. I truly don't know.

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>So what would then be the difference between love addiction

0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>and a sex addiction? We but like it really truly,

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 1>because like that's it's blaming the same thing, right, So

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 1>she's basically saying, I did this because of my need

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 1>to feel loved and wanted, valued and whatever. Sex addiction

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 1>is the same thing. You just have you know that

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 1>you commit the act? Well, she, I mean, she did both, right,

0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.080
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know that much about love addiction, Like

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I love addiction is basically I mean almost I'm not

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna I'm gonna I'm not a therapist here, but from

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the Wood studies that i've or not studies, but all

0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the things that I've gone through with the past sex addiction.

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 1>There is the love addiction peace in there because it's

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 1>that filling that void, and then they take it basically

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.440
<v Speaker 1>the step further with this, the sexual part of it

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 1>a validation to extreme levels. Yes, whereas a love addict

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 1>might just have an affair, a sex addict is calling

0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 1>prostitutes and it can be you know, or can be

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 1>porn or whatever it is. But unhappy to answer your question,

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.599
<v Speaker 1>I still don't fully know how I feel about the

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.559
<v Speaker 1>sex addiction piece. I think there were times I believed it.

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 1>There were times I felt like it felt like an excuse.

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.079
<v Speaker 1>But can that be any addiction? Sure, I mean there's

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.199
<v Speaker 1>times you can be an alcoholic, but that's an excuse,

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 1>you know. So I I don't know. I don't know.

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.480
<v Speaker 1>That's a hard question because I I truly do not

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>know whether I how I feel about sex addiction. I mean,

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 1>obviously it's just a real thing, but I mean, really,

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.160
<v Speaker 1>you could put this in under the category right of

0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.440
<v Speaker 1>a love addiction too. I mean love it's saying okay,

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 1>well I'm a love addict, and to put the blame there. Sure,

0:09:56.720 --> 0:10:01.079
<v Speaker 1>but wouldn't we all say no, not going to categorize

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>all of us in there. But I know twenties Jannah

0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:06.560
<v Speaker 1>was a love addict. Twenties Kristen is a love addict.

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean even you know, early thirties Janna love addict.

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 1>You know where it's like it's wanting to feel loved

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:16.680
<v Speaker 1>and validated and hurting people along the way. And so

0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:20.560
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't an excuse, that's just the pattern and that's

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:24.640
<v Speaker 1>the addiction, right yeah, along the way, and that's the

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>unfortunate the addiction. So it's like, there's that's just the

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 1>name for it, right were as some would be just

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>called a cheater. Like basically when I was talking to

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, the conversation was actually with Rachel Yu coul Tell,

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.240
<v Speaker 1>she's like, we should talk about love addiction because you know,

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.360
<v Speaker 1>when she was labeled the cheater, She's like, I was

0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:47.720
<v Speaker 1>going through things, you know, emotionally that like to feel

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 1>validated and loved. And yes, it sucks that it was

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:55.480
<v Speaker 1>broke up a marriage, but you know, we all have

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 1>unhealthy we can we can all have unhealthy patterns, and

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 1>that's just that wasn't you know, I don't know, yeah, absolutely,

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.280
<v Speaker 1>how do you feel Christen, okaybe you're a little quiet

0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 1>there with your a little baby. Well, I just have

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 1>a little baby is not getting so little anymore. I

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 1>feel like I have swallowed a whole human struggling. That's

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:17.080
<v Speaker 1>why I sit back here like this tiny person. Um.

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:22.320
<v Speaker 1>I just I appreciate the ownership because I think sometimes

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 1>the title of addiction is sometimes I have to be

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 1>careful because people were. She also didn't say that. She

0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't say that no, no, I know, yeah, I'm just

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:36.720
<v Speaker 1>talking in our outside of her. Yes, I appreciated her ownership.

0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:40.920
<v Speaker 1>That would be like a sentence period. I feel like, yeah,

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:45.280
<v Speaker 1>that copy copy that. Um. I just I have a

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 1>hard time when people maybe use that as an excuser,

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:52.280
<v Speaker 1>hide behind something without the ownership piece. So I appreciated

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 1>the reversal of it, if you will, right, Like not

0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.400
<v Speaker 1>saying I'm a love addict, yeah, just saying like this

0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 1>is the stuff I need to work on. This is

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:03.680
<v Speaker 1>not okay, and I feel responsible for it, and I agree.

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 1>I just want to say again, I don't envy anyone making.

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how old she is, but she doesn't

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:10.920
<v Speaker 1>look super old. I saw her picture for the first

0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 1>time today. Jackie will let us know in about two seconds,

0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:17.120
<v Speaker 1>like her birthday is she's a Gemini that likes long

0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>walks on the beach. Um, I just can yes, I

0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:28.520
<v Speaker 1>mean looked back, we got back in the hot tub

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 1>time machine. You saw this Kristen thirteen years ago. Holy

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Matt girl. I mean at twenty five, I thought I

0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.000
<v Speaker 1>was a good idea to do road rules. So let's

0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 1>just start there. I mean that there's a lot of

0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 1>growth to be had there, so I don't envy someone.

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.440
<v Speaker 1>It's a very mature response for someone who has to

0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.079
<v Speaker 1>live and she's chosen too, and I get that. But

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 1>imagine making all your mistakes so publicly and then being

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 1>like with the world we have today. You know, it's

0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.480
<v Speaker 1>like you're so young and you're making mistakes for the

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 1>whole world. Seem like you're learning from them while everybody

0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.000
<v Speaker 1>else is seeing them. Yeah. Yeah, and at an age

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 1>where you think it's a good idea, right. And I

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.320
<v Speaker 1>think if we remember doing this test with my friend Brian,

0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.200
<v Speaker 1>who's a sex and love addict, and she's we made

0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:16.200
<v Speaker 1>people because we were pitching the show about love addiction,

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.439
<v Speaker 1>and we made people take the test if you're a

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.520
<v Speaker 1>love addict and like there's like nine out of ten

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:25.080
<v Speaker 1>people scored like that they were love addict because it's

0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.880
<v Speaker 1>we all want to feel loved and worthy and chosen,

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 1>and unfortunately it can go past a point where it's

0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 1>harmful and it could be relationships. But also there's that

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:40.319
<v Speaker 1>piece where it's like you don't even realize who you're

0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.200
<v Speaker 1>hurting in those moments, Like I can look back and

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.520
<v Speaker 1>go God, like, that was so shitty of me, But

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I was so in my own world of like wanting

0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.080
<v Speaker 1>to feel validated, that I didn't even think about the

0:13:53.080 --> 0:14:09.960
<v Speaker 1>other person. Right, going back to what you're saying earlier, like, yes,

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I believe you can be addicted to anything. So to

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:15.600
<v Speaker 1>take away that sex addiction thing, it's not that I

0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:17.960
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's a real thing. I absolutely think you

0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:20.720
<v Speaker 1>can be addicted to anything. I'm probably addicted to diet coke,

0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Like you can literally be addicted to anything. I just

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.080
<v Speaker 1>think we can also hide behind it, like you said,

0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 1>right right, you know, And and maybe part of hiding

0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:33.720
<v Speaker 1>behind it is not realizing who you're hurting in the process,

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:37.160
<v Speaker 1>and maybe it does take therapy or learning to really

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:39.880
<v Speaker 1>not you know, see past that point. I don't know

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 1>I haven't been in that position, but well, if you

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 1>let it consume in, you go, well, I'm just I'm

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:45.880
<v Speaker 1>just a sex addictor I'm just a love attic. This

0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.280
<v Speaker 1>is just what we do. Well, that's that's the piece

0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.880
<v Speaker 1>where it's like you have you don't even want to change.

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 1>It's like I think I look at like my AX

0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:58.360
<v Speaker 1>and people like they genuinely want to change. It's just hard, sure,

0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 1>you know. And it's like I you know, in the

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.600
<v Speaker 1>past too, like have to catch yourself to be like, Okay,

0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:05.760
<v Speaker 1>you don't like that version, don't go back to like

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:07.880
<v Speaker 1>to the response that you would want to go to

0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 1>because you want someone to like you, or you want

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 1>someone to choose or you want someone to like show

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 1>you that like you're you know that you're worthy or whatever.

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.720
<v Speaker 1>So it's like having to choose the right way is hard,

0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.160
<v Speaker 1>but you're acknowledging. And that's the people that just fall

0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.040
<v Speaker 1>back on it. That's the thing. Like you can go, Okay,

0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.360
<v Speaker 1>I might be addicted to X, but you don't let

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.800
<v Speaker 1>it just go well screw it. Yeah, I'm just gonna

0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.960
<v Speaker 1>keep drinking it and not give a flying f Yeah, yeah,

0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean I do really love my diet coke. But

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I do I really feel like half a one a day?

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing good. I thought you were like I thought

0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.360
<v Speaker 1>you were at zero a day. Yeah you kind of.

0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, I could it out for like shoes back

0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:48.720
<v Speaker 1>when what did they call this relapse? But when was

0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I to zero? I thought you were at zero? No?

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Never did we not just travel together a month ago? Well, listen,

0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:59.320
<v Speaker 1>I was so busy having seven lunches. I was no.

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.320
<v Speaker 1>I actually it out for like a month one time.

0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that's anything a pound? This was like a year ago. Oh,

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, screw this. So you did it

0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 1>to lose weight or curious? I was definitely curious to

0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.160
<v Speaker 1>see if I would lose weight because a lot of

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:13.560
<v Speaker 1>people told me, I bet you'd lose weight if you

0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 1>cut out diet coke, and I was like, okay, I'll

0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.960
<v Speaker 1>try it. And then I didn't lose anything. Well it's

0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 1>because it's like it's fake sugar. So it's like there's

0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:23.560
<v Speaker 1>a debate there. Did you notice? So now I would

0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 1>like to challenge you to doing it to see how

0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 1>much bloat you have verse not weight, but bloat information

0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:37.040
<v Speaker 1>and pay so much with all like those things that

0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.280
<v Speaker 1>it'd be interesting to seat. But no, our girlfriend Pam

0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:42.840
<v Speaker 1>has it on the Plexus plan. But having said that,

0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:47.600
<v Speaker 1>um at home, I do one a day. When I

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:51.680
<v Speaker 1>travel it endepping more. Sometimes I have to one. Do

0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.000
<v Speaker 1>you like get the shape crap out of it? I

0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 1>hate it. I just hate it. It's not good for

0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:57.840
<v Speaker 1>your body at all. None of it is good for

0:16:57.880 --> 0:16:59.280
<v Speaker 1>your body. I just need to say that because I

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.120
<v Speaker 1>actually value love you when I care about your health

0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 1>and your organs. I do so. It would be really

0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.320
<v Speaker 1>not a good friend if I was like, good for you, honey. Now,

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.160
<v Speaker 1>all that being said, get your bow, toss my happy spon.

0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:15.440
<v Speaker 1>You know what I like to do is just call

0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:19.000
<v Speaker 1>myself out for anybody else can so fine, it's fine.

0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy with myself anyway, moving on, I'm happy with myself.

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I love myself and my diet coke cheers. I mean

0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I'd rather you drink a coke instead of diet. Oh no,

0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.840
<v Speaker 1>not me. I mean then then you'd actually it's a

0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:34.960
<v Speaker 1>wife of a pepsi artist. I'd rather you drink a pepsi.

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:44.000
<v Speaker 1>They're terrible. I don't love any who is anyone watching

0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.640
<v Speaker 1>a Bachelor of Seasan? Nope? Do you know. Fun fact,

0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.159
<v Speaker 1>I've never watched episode of any of that. Oh, I

0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:53.040
<v Speaker 1>think my friend Christina is on that. I don't know.

0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I think they're down to the final four. I don't

0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:59.000
<v Speaker 1>think there's an Andrew Christine. I have no idea. I

0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.280
<v Speaker 1>don't I don't watch it. I just saw a thing

0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:05.600
<v Speaker 1>earlier about how he wasn't going to sleep with anyone. Oh,

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:10.879
<v Speaker 1>I did see that. Do we believe that? Kind of great?

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:15.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm all for it not sleeping, well, especially

0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:19.359
<v Speaker 1>in that situation. I don't know. I just feel like

0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:22.600
<v Speaker 1>that's not a debate for me, I would say, especially

0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:30.680
<v Speaker 1>am I getting out of this between me and Jana Grammer.

0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:32.560
<v Speaker 1>You wouts to know that I had a really big

0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:36.760
<v Speaker 1>development in therapy yesterday that could kind of loop into

0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:41.119
<v Speaker 1>this A tiny bit that I, well, this may not

0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:46.160
<v Speaker 1>be a newsplash to anyone else, but I don't trust men. Okay,

0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:51.280
<v Speaker 1>that's a big that's big. Um. I don't fully trust men,

0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:53.960
<v Speaker 1>and I don't super trust a lot of people in general.

0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Amy pointed out, I could see that. So with that,

0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:01.200
<v Speaker 1>if I was on a show the Bachelor, I would

0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:04.879
<v Speaker 1>be like iron gated, yea below the belt. Nobody's getting

0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.920
<v Speaker 1>in absolutely, because you're all a bunch of scumbags. Okay,

0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:13.199
<v Speaker 1>but I don't believe that what others scumbags know that

0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 1>you would actually do that? Oh I do you? Everybody

0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.880
<v Speaker 1>made out with somebody on road rules and I didn't bible.

0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:24.480
<v Speaker 1>She's like, but I gave a good no. We all know.

0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't like to speaking of that. I'm on pelvic rest,

0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:32.480
<v Speaker 1>so I had to retire my old ways. Why is it?

0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Can I ask the question? I only if I can

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:39.000
<v Speaker 1>differ and not answer. Is it because you're your dad?

0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Of course? It was a real we had a real

0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.160
<v Speaker 1>breakthrough yesterday. You know. It's interesting because I think people

0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:49.879
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of opinions about therapy and I've been

0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.560
<v Speaker 1>going to this grief and trauma therapist that Jamma suggested

0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:55.360
<v Speaker 1>right after I lost like five people in eleven months

0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:56.680
<v Speaker 1>and one of them was my dad. So that's the

0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.080
<v Speaker 1>speed dating version of it. And I was like, yeah,

0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:00.720
<v Speaker 1>and I've been going to the piece since I was

0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:02.399
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven, so this isn't new to me. And we

0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:04.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of just hit this little patch I felt like

0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:06.639
<v Speaker 1>where I was like, oh okay, and she kind of

0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:08.720
<v Speaker 1>put me on graduation and was like, you can come

0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:11.119
<v Speaker 1>whenever you'd like. And I was like okay, and I

0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:15.119
<v Speaker 1>was feeling really good. And then yesterday I was in

0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:19.080
<v Speaker 1>there and I was feisty. So I don't get super

0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:21.800
<v Speaker 1>I get more emotional when i'm pregnant, for sure, but

0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't get irrational. I feel like I get really

0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:27.880
<v Speaker 1>clear and I just it becomes very black and white

0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:31.600
<v Speaker 1>and very decisive. And I was in there. I came

0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:34.320
<v Speaker 1>in with both my heartbeats yesterday and all my decisiveness

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:35.720
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, da da Da da da. And

0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 1>she was like okay, and she goes, I'm gonna say

0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:42.320
<v Speaker 1>something and I think that we need to like dig

0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 1>in a little, and I said okay, and she was like,

0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:48.360
<v Speaker 1>I think you need to be more angry at your dad,

0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:50.600
<v Speaker 1>and I think no one's allowed you to probably be.

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:53.000
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, well, then I started crying and

0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:54.879
<v Speaker 1>she goes, those tears are hot. I know we're getting somewhere,

0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:58.440
<v Speaker 1>and she got a notepad, so I know that really

0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:01.360
<v Speaker 1>took us for a dark day to her and shows

0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:03.520
<v Speaker 1>like that and people like that, I don't trust anyone

0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:07.639
<v Speaker 1>and no one's getting my body. Yeah, so I saw

0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:12.440
<v Speaker 1>a because you know, I always watched those inspirational videos

0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:15.040
<v Speaker 1>like Ja Shetty and all of them, and there was

0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:17.040
<v Speaker 1>one that was saying it wasn't Jay's, but it was

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 1>the problem with a lot of therapist. Therapists won't go

0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:25.879
<v Speaker 1>to childhood trauma and they just kind of keep it

0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:31.600
<v Speaker 1>very surface where every most every issue, which was why

0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:33.520
<v Speaker 1>you're acting a certain way to your spouse or why

0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:35.960
<v Speaker 1>you did X, Y and Z, it always goes back

0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:41.240
<v Speaker 1>to a childhood trauma and so you know your trust

0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:45.400
<v Speaker 1>with men. I just have never seen a man's actions

0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and words match that in that means something for sure,

0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:52.040
<v Speaker 1>and never saw that growing up. It was always due

0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:55.560
<v Speaker 1>as I say, not as I do. And that is,

0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:58.639
<v Speaker 1>by the way she identified as a pretty shitty parenting motto,

0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:02.679
<v Speaker 1>which I also enjoy the validation of that. But like I,

0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:05.360
<v Speaker 1>she was like, well, of course, and so then I

0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:07.840
<v Speaker 1>was gifted a son to raise, which is not lost

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:12.040
<v Speaker 1>on me at all, to teach me about how boyhood

0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:16.520
<v Speaker 1>and manhood can look stewarded well and with a different

0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:19.199
<v Speaker 1>kind of care. And my dad also had his own trauma,

0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:22.960
<v Speaker 1>so he of course you know it's and came from

0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:24.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm not making excuses by any means, but came from

0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:26.639
<v Speaker 1>a generation where they didn't do the deep dive like

0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 1>we all do. Yeah, So I told her, I was like,

0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I believe in Jesus and God that loves me, and

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I have a son that I have to raise. So

0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:39.040
<v Speaker 1>somewhere between all of that, her and I are going

0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:41.960
<v Speaker 1>to start the untangling. Sorry, well, I was going to

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:43.840
<v Speaker 1>ask a question back to kind of what you were

0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:49.800
<v Speaker 1>asking though, can you not sleep with all these people

0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:52.880
<v Speaker 1>or want to sleep with all these people for healthy reasons?

0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Like not you in general, but like is let's say

0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:01.000
<v Speaker 1>there's not a childhood trauma there and you just don't

0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:04.200
<v Speaker 1>want to sleep with four or five different however many men. Oh,

0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that he's got childhood trauma. That's not

0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:10.359
<v Speaker 1>what that's not that's that's not why he's sleeping with them.

0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:13.000
<v Speaker 1>You're saying he does or doesn't. I'm not saying I'm

0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:18.959
<v Speaker 1>not waiting child trauma. I'm saying I'm saying, if you

0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:23.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't have the childhood trauma, do you think that you would, Oh,

0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 1>that would be a different story for you, only because

0:23:26.480 --> 0:23:28.600
<v Speaker 1>she got childhood. I mean they had a little slut

0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:31.000
<v Speaker 1>phase in college. I think we all didn't, maybe not

0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Catherine No, I definitely didn't. Okay, it's fine. No, it

0:23:37.600 --> 0:23:40.199
<v Speaker 1>just brought up you're with me, honey and never going

0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:47.120
<v Speaker 1>to be okay, I do us anymore. So I'm just

0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:49.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna it's just four is if I have to be

0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:52.879
<v Speaker 1>in that fine, um. And it's not a judgmental question.

0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm just cutious if like that's like a trauma response,

0:23:56.240 --> 0:23:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I think mine is ways, I mean mine is so.

0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:00.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I could even see it in

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:03.280
<v Speaker 1>any other way because I just don't. I go to

0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:07.040
<v Speaker 1>severe indefense. There's an intimacy disconnect. Yeah, I default to

0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:10.840
<v Speaker 1>severe independent, right, Yeah, this is an interesting topic. We

0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:13.840
<v Speaker 1>need to let us down a dark one. We need

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:16.480
<v Speaker 1>to we need to reopen that up, maybe with a therapist.

0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:20.480
<v Speaker 1>And I'm interested in that. Yeah, it's good because a

0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 1>good it's a good question. Cap. We're gonna take a

0:24:22.760 --> 0:24:25.359
<v Speaker 1>break and then we're gonna get Jennifer Nettles on the

0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:45.040
<v Speaker 1>podcast like her, hy girl, I have been you are.

0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I know I shouldn't lead with that, but my word

0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:52.240
<v Speaker 1>takes one to no one. Oh Jennifer, hey girl, it's

0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:55.119
<v Speaker 1>been a minute since I've seen you out in this world.

0:24:56.320 --> 0:25:01.560
<v Speaker 1>How are you? Yeah? And this in this wild world. Right, Yeah,

0:25:01.600 --> 0:25:05.560
<v Speaker 1>it's it's something, it's something else. I'm good, I'm whole,

0:25:05.880 --> 0:25:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm you know, like everybody else like busy, crazzy, tired,

0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:15.840
<v Speaker 1>and tired, terrified, all of it at one time, right,

0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:18.200
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes terrified slice at the top of the list,

0:25:18.200 --> 0:25:21.679
<v Speaker 1>and that's okay, current man, Right, those are interchangeable. They

0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:24.280
<v Speaker 1>moves around and that list. Well, I think it's interesting too,

0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:26.240
<v Speaker 1>like when you say things like that because I think,

0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:29.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I was having a UM. I was sit

0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:31.000
<v Speaker 1>down with my therapist and I was just telling her like,

0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I feel stuck and frustrated. And I think

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:37.760
<v Speaker 1>when people see, you know, Jennifer Nettles or someone that's

0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:40.800
<v Speaker 1>in this spotlight, you have it all figured out. You're fine,

0:25:40.840 --> 0:25:43.440
<v Speaker 1>you've got money, you're great, you're good, like you don't

0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:45.960
<v Speaker 1>have like you're not stuck, you don't feel those things.

0:25:45.960 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 1>And it's like it's we all, we all go through that,

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:51.119
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's nice to hear, you know, not just

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:54.240
<v Speaker 1>like oh yeah, everything's great, you know, because yeah it's not.

0:25:54.400 --> 0:25:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you know, it's hard. Yeah yeah, so sometimes it's

0:25:57.480 --> 0:26:01.760
<v Speaker 1>super lifey, you know. Um, And that's okay too. We

0:26:02.119 --> 0:26:05.000
<v Speaker 1>go through all of these seasons, we go through all

0:26:05.040 --> 0:26:09.119
<v Speaker 1>of these times. We you know, it's it's a big

0:26:09.440 --> 0:26:13.000
<v Speaker 1>life and it's full, right, it's very full. What do

0:26:13.000 --> 0:26:20.159
<v Speaker 1>you think it's been the um the thing? I guess, well, yeah, exactly, welcome,

0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:22.679
<v Speaker 1>welcome to the show. This is a this is this

0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:25.479
<v Speaker 1>is where we go. Um, we'll get light, we'll get

0:26:25.520 --> 0:26:28.520
<v Speaker 1>into farmers. But I do want to know, uh, you know,

0:26:28.720 --> 0:26:30.679
<v Speaker 1>when you kind of get in that space since we

0:26:30.680 --> 0:26:32.919
<v Speaker 1>did go there, and now I'm curious, like, how do

0:26:33.000 --> 0:26:36.560
<v Speaker 1>you because again things are you you live up still

0:26:36.640 --> 0:26:38.879
<v Speaker 1>public life, you know, and things like how do you

0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:43.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of reframe your mindset to to you know, maybe

0:26:43.680 --> 0:26:45.520
<v Speaker 1>is it is it reframing it's a gratefulness or do

0:26:45.560 --> 0:26:46.919
<v Speaker 1>you just sit with there? Do you like, do you

0:26:46.920 --> 0:26:48.640
<v Speaker 1>go to therapy? Like what do you do when you're

0:26:48.720 --> 0:26:52.760
<v Speaker 1>when you're in that when it's tough? All of the above,

0:26:52.880 --> 0:26:54.840
<v Speaker 1>all of the above. Thank God for my therapist, who

0:26:54.920 --> 0:26:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I've been with now for probably over twenty years, you know,

0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:03.840
<v Speaker 1>thank God for her. I find that super helpful. I think,

0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:08.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, I often use what I say as gratitude

0:27:08.560 --> 0:27:11.639
<v Speaker 1>as a shield, you know, in that way, just like

0:27:11.760 --> 0:27:14.439
<v Speaker 1>out in front of me because there is much to

0:27:14.480 --> 0:27:17.000
<v Speaker 1>be grateful for. There's that old adage that says, like,

0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:19.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, if we all put our problems out on

0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:22.320
<v Speaker 1>the table with each other, we'd probably grab and reach

0:27:22.359 --> 0:27:26.439
<v Speaker 1>for our own ones back, okay in terms of if

0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:30.200
<v Speaker 1>we had to have anyone else's right. So all that

0:27:30.240 --> 0:27:35.280
<v Speaker 1>being said, yeah, gratitude is a big protector in that way.

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:38.000
<v Speaker 1>And then in speaking of protection, in talking about you know,

0:27:38.240 --> 0:27:41.920
<v Speaker 1>being in the public eye, and I have definitely learned

0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 1>over the years, you know, to be super selective and

0:27:44.920 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 1>super protective. I definitely I want my art to be seen,

0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I want my art to be known. I won't want

0:27:51.520 --> 0:27:55.679
<v Speaker 1>my work to be celebrated, but I also want to

0:27:55.680 --> 0:27:57.600
<v Speaker 1>be able to have, like anyone else, in a safe

0:27:57.600 --> 0:27:59.640
<v Speaker 1>place to come to at the end of the day.

0:28:00.160 --> 0:28:02.160
<v Speaker 1>And that has become kind of a rarity in our

0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:06.719
<v Speaker 1>culture too. We slid into this like must know everything

0:28:06.800 --> 0:28:09.760
<v Speaker 1>behind the scenes. Like I kind of miss the old

0:28:09.800 --> 0:28:18.240
<v Speaker 1>school glam Hollywood. Yeah, yeah, we miss We've lost the mystery.

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:21.760
<v Speaker 1>And I yeah, for myself, I mean it's protective to

0:28:21.800 --> 0:28:25.239
<v Speaker 1>maintain that, but like you, I miss it too. You know.

0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I used to love to be able to just go

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:30.600
<v Speaker 1>on a deep dive in a in a very I mean,

0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:33.240
<v Speaker 1>it was a shallow dive considering. But like you find

0:28:33.280 --> 0:28:35.760
<v Speaker 1>an article about your favorite artist, your favorite actors, your

0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:38.560
<v Speaker 1>favorite you know, musician, whatever it may be in your

0:28:38.600 --> 0:28:42.200
<v Speaker 1>magazine and you're looking at that, and that's that's what

0:28:42.320 --> 0:28:44.320
<v Speaker 1>you get. You get an interview you know what I'm saying,

0:28:44.360 --> 0:28:47.280
<v Speaker 1>and it's very curated and it's very specific and you

0:28:47.320 --> 0:28:50.920
<v Speaker 1>can trust it. Okay, there isn't you know, a ton

0:28:51.000 --> 0:28:53.840
<v Speaker 1>of other voices out there trying to put words into

0:28:53.880 --> 0:28:57.800
<v Speaker 1>people's mouths or trying to at the I mean, and nowadays,

0:28:57.840 --> 0:29:01.120
<v Speaker 1>as we know where social media is can earned you know,

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:06.600
<v Speaker 1>when there is conflict equals engagement, and so they try

0:29:06.640 --> 0:29:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to foster that conflict wherever they can, you know, and

0:29:10.720 --> 0:29:12.960
<v Speaker 1>they try to keep people polarized, and they try to

0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:17.120
<v Speaker 1>make everything as scandalous as possible, and everyone is outraged

0:29:17.240 --> 0:29:26.040
<v Speaker 1>and it's just like which I am tired. Okay, like tired,

0:29:27.840 --> 0:29:32.760
<v Speaker 1>which I am tired. But they feel like they have

0:29:33.280 --> 0:29:37.160
<v Speaker 1>they get an invitation, you know, oh for sure they

0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:40.280
<v Speaker 1>do now and and listen, if the machine perpetuates itself,

0:29:40.600 --> 0:29:43.600
<v Speaker 1>ladies does in the sense that there are people who

0:29:44.000 --> 0:29:48.320
<v Speaker 1>see the attention that they get, and so they are constantly,

0:29:48.480 --> 0:29:52.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, like right here with everything, constantly on themselves

0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:55.959
<v Speaker 1>for everything, for every anything and everything. And for some

0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:58.760
<v Speaker 1>people that's great. They enjoy, you know, fostering a sense

0:29:58.760 --> 0:30:05.520
<v Speaker 1>of community that way. But really it's gone. I think

0:30:05.960 --> 0:30:08.960
<v Speaker 1>the narrative has been lost in a lot of ways

0:30:09.000 --> 0:30:14.520
<v Speaker 1>in terms of what the pros and what the positives

0:30:14.600 --> 0:30:18.360
<v Speaker 1>are of that kind of sharing and that kind of access.

0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Nobody deserves that kind of access. I don't want to

0:30:20.840 --> 0:30:24.560
<v Speaker 1>see you on your peloton bike with maybe I should

0:30:24.560 --> 0:30:28.640
<v Speaker 1>like no wash my mouth right now, but you know

0:30:28.640 --> 0:30:30.360
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, it's like I don't want to see that.

0:30:30.520 --> 0:30:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to see it. Like like if you,

0:30:32.560 --> 0:30:35.480
<v Speaker 1>if you do something, you're here, you're offering right now

0:30:35.600 --> 0:30:38.040
<v Speaker 1>something to the world that people need. But they don't

0:30:38.080 --> 0:30:40.040
<v Speaker 1>need to see on your peloton bike. They don't need that,

0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:41.959
<v Speaker 1>you know. They need what you're doing right now. They

0:30:41.960 --> 0:30:44.880
<v Speaker 1>need your music, they need your talking, they need your ideas,

0:30:44.920 --> 0:30:47.080
<v Speaker 1>they need you know, and not to say that you

0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:49.640
<v Speaker 1>can't be inspired and inspiring, like look at me, I'm

0:30:49.680 --> 0:30:51.360
<v Speaker 1>out here trying to do this even though it's hard,

0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:52.960
<v Speaker 1>and you can do it too, like there are ways

0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:57.280
<v Speaker 1>to spin it, no pun intended, but you know, we

0:30:57.320 --> 0:30:59.040
<v Speaker 1>don't need all of it. We don't need all of it.

0:30:59.040 --> 0:31:02.920
<v Speaker 1>It's so destroyed acting, it's so distract it's very noisy,

0:31:03.000 --> 0:31:06.080
<v Speaker 1>and I think it's like one thing doesn't work for everybody, right,

0:31:06.160 --> 0:31:08.160
<v Speaker 1>like because for as many unfollows as I get to

0:31:08.160 --> 0:31:10.360
<v Speaker 1>get follows, like some things people just don't like and

0:31:10.880 --> 0:31:13.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't love, you know. I've tried to

0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:16.080
<v Speaker 1>find a balance of not oversharing but still being authentic

0:31:16.120 --> 0:31:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and still sharing, you know. So it's it's a it's

0:31:18.240 --> 0:31:21.040
<v Speaker 1>a really fine balance and it's it's it's honestly something

0:31:21.080 --> 0:31:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I've struggled with, like trying to find the balance of it.

0:31:24.000 --> 0:31:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, And I think with the balance, like you know,

0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:29.760
<v Speaker 1>comes the other the outside noises. And I'm curious, like

0:31:29.840 --> 0:31:32.400
<v Speaker 1>where where you go when you know, because you've you've

0:31:32.440 --> 0:31:37.480
<v Speaker 1>had areas in your career where people might have said

0:31:37.960 --> 0:31:40.280
<v Speaker 1>hateful things or like why would you break up? Or

0:31:40.360 --> 0:31:42.880
<v Speaker 1>this either or the other, you know, with with things

0:31:42.880 --> 0:31:44.200
<v Speaker 1>that you've gone through, and it's like how do you

0:31:44.240 --> 0:31:48.480
<v Speaker 1>just go no, like not not receiving that sometimes obviously

0:31:48.480 --> 0:31:51.640
<v Speaker 1>we have to unplug um, but we also have to

0:31:51.680 --> 0:31:53.720
<v Speaker 1>offer ourselves with perspect and this is why I think

0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:57.080
<v Speaker 1>acts will close community. You know, from from an evolutionary

0:31:57.120 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 1>perspective where where sociology is concerned. As human beings, we're

0:32:01.000 --> 0:32:04.000
<v Speaker 1>really not supposed to have anything bigger than like a

0:32:04.080 --> 0:32:07.800
<v Speaker 1>community of one hundred and fifty people around us. Those

0:32:07.840 --> 0:32:09.719
<v Speaker 1>are the closest ones that you know. It starts with

0:32:09.720 --> 0:32:13.320
<v Speaker 1>our family, um, which brings with it its own stuff,

0:32:13.480 --> 0:32:16.720
<v Speaker 1>But it starts with our family, and it continues in

0:32:16.760 --> 0:32:21.200
<v Speaker 1>those concentric circles you know, within within a certain community size.

0:32:21.560 --> 0:32:26.120
<v Speaker 1>So it's overwhelming to have all of these people able

0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:29.840
<v Speaker 1>to being able to offer their opinions not only alike

0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:35.160
<v Speaker 1>or a dislike, but like actual words, context and words

0:32:35.200 --> 0:32:39.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, for what they feel. Um, it's it's overwhelming.

0:32:39.960 --> 0:32:42.720
<v Speaker 1>All that's overwhelming. So I think unplugging is important and

0:32:42.760 --> 0:32:45.160
<v Speaker 1>then keeping that close knit group you're real friends, like

0:32:45.240 --> 0:32:47.680
<v Speaker 1>your ladies who you know, who are your your tribe,

0:32:47.760 --> 0:32:49.880
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, and coming back to that

0:32:50.000 --> 0:32:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and talking to people in real time and going to dinner,

0:32:54.320 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, and taking time to look deeply into the

0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:00.760
<v Speaker 1>eyes of your beloved and like to really put your

0:33:00.760 --> 0:33:03.479
<v Speaker 1>phone down when you're with your children, and you know

0:33:03.600 --> 0:33:06.600
<v Speaker 1>all of those things. It's just such a distraction. And

0:33:06.600 --> 0:33:09.680
<v Speaker 1>then not to mention how much your feelings can be hurt.

0:33:10.000 --> 0:33:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, let's just say it, like we're human beings

0:33:13.000 --> 0:33:16.640
<v Speaker 1>and someone can make a comment, one little comment. You

0:33:16.640 --> 0:33:21.320
<v Speaker 1>could have five billion positive comments and one person says

0:33:21.360 --> 0:33:24.160
<v Speaker 1>that one thing on the comment, and your day is ruined.

0:33:24.240 --> 0:33:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Nobody should have that power. You do not live rent

0:33:26.840 --> 0:33:29.360
<v Speaker 1>free in here, you know what I'm saying, Like you

0:33:29.400 --> 0:33:31.920
<v Speaker 1>should not have that power. Well, and that's something too.

0:33:31.960 --> 0:33:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I was I was talking to Catherine about KAB. I

0:33:34.520 --> 0:33:36.000
<v Speaker 1>never told you this, but I wanted to do a

0:33:36.040 --> 0:33:41.240
<v Speaker 1>show where you basically you'd confront your online bullies because whoever,

0:33:41.280 --> 0:33:43.960
<v Speaker 1>whatever they're like, they're going through something too. So it's

0:33:43.960 --> 0:33:46.600
<v Speaker 1>almost like you can end up having in a way

0:33:46.680 --> 0:33:49.200
<v Speaker 1>empathy for the bully as well, because like they're dealing

0:33:49.200 --> 0:33:50.720
<v Speaker 1>with something and you can kind of sit with the

0:33:50.760 --> 0:33:54.120
<v Speaker 1>person and go, Okay, like this hurt me, and like

0:33:54.160 --> 0:33:57.720
<v Speaker 1>what's hurting you to basically say these things? You know,

0:33:57.760 --> 0:34:00.960
<v Speaker 1>And so I thought it was kind of cool. But yes, no, no,

0:34:01.160 --> 0:34:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I love that, you know. I'm like, remember I love

0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:05.840
<v Speaker 1>it too, Like who was it that did. I think

0:34:05.880 --> 0:34:08.920
<v Speaker 1>it was on balance where he did this whole series

0:34:08.920 --> 0:34:11.760
<v Speaker 1>when he was like, read, they would have celebrities reading

0:34:11.760 --> 0:34:15.320
<v Speaker 1>their nasty Twitter fanily, Yeah, and I've had to I

0:34:15.440 --> 0:34:17.279
<v Speaker 1>got off Twitter. I was just like, I haven't. I

0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:20.440
<v Speaker 1>haven't been on it in years. And then when everything

0:34:20.480 --> 0:34:22.200
<v Speaker 1>has just gotten so crazy with it, I was like that,

0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't have time. I can't do every single Twitter,

0:34:24.800 --> 0:34:28.560
<v Speaker 1>TikTok Instagram. I can't. I can't. Yeah, But all that

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:31.520
<v Speaker 1>was to say, like he would have them read those

0:34:31.640 --> 0:34:36.480
<v Speaker 1>nasty comments, and when you hear it, it's it's shocking.

0:34:36.600 --> 0:34:43.920
<v Speaker 1>You can't be leave that absolute strangers would be so bold, Yeah,

0:34:44.520 --> 0:34:47.960
<v Speaker 1>and so unfounded. That's what really gets Like, you know nothing.

0:34:48.080 --> 0:34:49.400
<v Speaker 1>You don't know me, you don't know my heart, you

0:34:49.400 --> 0:34:51.080
<v Speaker 1>don't even know my birthday. Get out of here. What

0:34:51.120 --> 0:34:55.279
<v Speaker 1>do you have to say out? Jennifer? Are you? Are

0:34:55.360 --> 0:34:59.040
<v Speaker 1>you UM? What's your background with UM? Like? Are you

0:34:59.239 --> 0:35:01.600
<v Speaker 1>are you religious at all? Or where do you fall

0:35:01.719 --> 0:35:05.160
<v Speaker 1>with that? I chose and call myself a recovering Baptist.

0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I grew up in the Southern Baptist church that we

0:35:09.520 --> 0:35:13.799
<v Speaker 1>went to church three times a week, okay, Wednesday and

0:35:13.840 --> 0:35:18.839
<v Speaker 1>twice on Sunday. Wow, um, yes ma'am and yes ma'am

0:35:18.880 --> 0:35:21.520
<v Speaker 1>and amen. I mean there's a part of that. I'm

0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:23.680
<v Speaker 1>so grateful for it because it definitely gave me such

0:35:23.719 --> 0:35:26.440
<v Speaker 1>a background of faith. I do think a spiritual life.

0:35:26.840 --> 0:35:29.799
<v Speaker 1>But um, I you know, for since that time, I

0:35:29.840 --> 0:35:33.240
<v Speaker 1>have definitely expanded and I practiced yoga, and I practiced

0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:36.000
<v Speaker 1>some elements of Buddhism, and I bring and I you know,

0:35:36.000 --> 0:35:39.160
<v Speaker 1>I'll even harken back to I love the womanly arts

0:35:39.200 --> 0:35:43.200
<v Speaker 1>and what we would call the craft and ancient ancient religions,

0:35:43.320 --> 0:35:46.920
<v Speaker 1>nature religions, all of those I can pull from at

0:35:46.960 --> 0:35:49.560
<v Speaker 1>a different time. And I'm like, listen, whatever will help.

0:35:49.640 --> 0:35:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't care what do you want to do, con

0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:56.760
<v Speaker 1>or something, kill a chicken, throw the bomb. If something

0:35:56.920 --> 0:35:59.000
<v Speaker 1>is going to bring me good vibes, bring me good

0:35:59.000 --> 0:36:01.399
<v Speaker 1>and energy, bring me to that place of center and

0:36:01.440 --> 0:36:07.000
<v Speaker 1>remind me of that that face and that worthiness, then yeah,

0:36:07.040 --> 0:36:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm into it. And you are obviously into farmer

0:36:11.239 --> 0:36:14.719
<v Speaker 1>wants a wife. So I mean when when you got

0:36:14.760 --> 0:36:17.880
<v Speaker 1>that call, were you just kind of like what what

0:36:17.920 --> 0:36:21.360
<v Speaker 1>were your like initial like what my initial responsive? No?

0:36:21.560 --> 0:36:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, because I'm not really into the whole dating

0:36:27.040 --> 0:36:30.040
<v Speaker 1>reality dating genre. I've never watched it. It always just

0:36:30.120 --> 0:36:34.160
<v Speaker 1>seemed just too forced and a lot of wanting that

0:36:34.160 --> 0:36:37.120
<v Speaker 1>that scandal and wanting, you know, people to be crying

0:36:37.120 --> 0:36:40.400
<v Speaker 1>at the end of some emanations, ceremony. Everything sounded so

0:36:40.719 --> 0:36:43.560
<v Speaker 1>just dramatics. So I've never watched those and I've never

0:36:43.560 --> 0:36:45.880
<v Speaker 1>been into them. So at first I was like no,

0:36:46.040 --> 0:36:47.920
<v Speaker 1>And then when I heard more about it and the

0:36:48.080 --> 0:36:50.880
<v Speaker 1>success that it has had, this really turned me in

0:36:50.920 --> 0:36:54.080
<v Speaker 1>onto it. Because obviously it's had success as a show,

0:36:54.400 --> 0:36:57.279
<v Speaker 1>but the success it's had in relationships. This this show

0:36:57.320 --> 0:36:59.600
<v Speaker 1>has been around for thirteen years, it's been in thirty

0:36:59.600 --> 0:37:02.720
<v Speaker 1>two different countries, and it has had, as a result,

0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:06.040
<v Speaker 1>over one hundred and eighty marriages and over four hundred

0:37:06.040 --> 0:37:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and ten children. Oh I love that the people, and

0:37:09.560 --> 0:37:12.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of those marriages still marriages to my understanding,

0:37:13.280 --> 0:37:15.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean, if there's four hundred ten children,

0:37:15.000 --> 0:37:16.600
<v Speaker 1>they wait, they at least made it long enough to

0:37:18.080 --> 0:37:22.280
<v Speaker 1>go that far. So yeah, and so I just felt like, oh,

0:37:22.320 --> 0:37:26.400
<v Speaker 1>there's something, there's something authentic about this, And so I

0:37:26.480 --> 0:37:30.719
<v Speaker 1>watched one of the Australian episodes and thought, oh no,

0:37:30.840 --> 0:37:35.240
<v Speaker 1>this has heart. This isn't. This isn't about the scandal

0:37:35.320 --> 0:37:38.200
<v Speaker 1>or the drama. This is about real connection and real people.

0:37:38.200 --> 0:37:40.040
<v Speaker 1>And sure they're doing it in what I call the

0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:46.239
<v Speaker 1>hyper reality of cameras, but they and then having done

0:37:46.239 --> 0:37:48.600
<v Speaker 1>the show, now it is definitely true. You know, you

0:37:48.719 --> 0:37:50.840
<v Speaker 1>root for these guys. I rooted for them and for

0:37:50.920 --> 0:37:54.720
<v Speaker 1>these women and wanting them to find love. It's also

0:37:54.800 --> 0:37:57.759
<v Speaker 1>bringing light to some other things like wildly important and

0:37:57.840 --> 0:38:02.840
<v Speaker 1>overlooked so often, which is like the farmers of our world.

0:38:03.080 --> 0:38:06.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we we forget. I was raised in a

0:38:06.280 --> 0:38:09.080
<v Speaker 1>tiny town and I was an FHA girl, and I

0:38:09.120 --> 0:38:13.640
<v Speaker 1>had a girl. Okay, but none of these guys, these

0:38:13.640 --> 0:38:15.920
<v Speaker 1>are Have you looked at the men. These are not

0:38:15.920 --> 0:38:20.120
<v Speaker 1>the farmers, your typical farmers, so I want to come on,

0:38:20.239 --> 0:38:22.120
<v Speaker 1>They're not the guys that did driver your tractor to

0:38:22.160 --> 0:38:24.400
<v Speaker 1>school day when I was in high school, if I'm honest,

0:38:24.560 --> 0:38:27.400
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know about that. I bet if you,

0:38:27.520 --> 0:38:29.200
<v Speaker 1>if you, if you looked back at some of the

0:38:29.320 --> 0:38:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously a lot of women are where we're

0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:33.399
<v Speaker 1>school and they're older, and the farmers are older. That's

0:38:33.400 --> 0:38:35.279
<v Speaker 1>his own. But these guys are young. You know, they're

0:38:35.280 --> 0:38:38.240
<v Speaker 1>all in their thirty and they are real life farmers.

0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:41.800
<v Speaker 1>They're you know, they have cattle, they have forces, and

0:38:42.040 --> 0:38:45.000
<v Speaker 1>this is their life and their lifestyle. But we have

0:38:45.080 --> 0:38:46.960
<v Speaker 1>to think, you know, there are people out there who

0:38:47.000 --> 0:38:50.040
<v Speaker 1>have to continue this tradition. They don't all look like

0:38:50.080 --> 0:38:52.879
<v Speaker 1>our grandparents. They can't, right, how are we going to eat?

0:38:54.719 --> 0:38:57.640
<v Speaker 1>And many and many of these guys are actually you know,

0:38:57.800 --> 0:39:02.000
<v Speaker 1>second third generation. That's well, it's I'm excited to watch it.

0:39:02.000 --> 0:39:05.399
<v Speaker 1>It's on Fox Farmer, Once a Wife. It premiered um

0:39:05.520 --> 0:39:09.000
<v Speaker 1>last week, and uh so I'm definitely and I love you.

0:39:09.040 --> 0:39:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I've always loved you. I think I love how you've

0:39:11.680 --> 0:39:13.719
<v Speaker 1>used your voice in a way, um, you know, for

0:39:13.760 --> 0:39:18.200
<v Speaker 1>women and country music, and I love that you, um

0:39:18.200 --> 0:39:20.880
<v Speaker 1>you didn't put yourself in a box like you you're acting,

0:39:21.120 --> 0:39:24.080
<v Speaker 1>you're you know, you're hosting, you're you know, doing the

0:39:24.440 --> 0:39:28.359
<v Speaker 1>collab album and it's just I just you, Um, You've

0:39:28.400 --> 0:39:31.200
<v Speaker 1>You've been very inspiring for me to watch and just

0:39:31.280 --> 0:39:35.160
<v Speaker 1>to see how you've always hold yourself with such grace

0:39:35.239 --> 0:39:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and presence. And it's just I appreciate that, like I'm

0:39:39.600 --> 0:39:41.440
<v Speaker 1>thank you. Well, I'm seeing a lot of that here

0:39:41.560 --> 0:39:44.120
<v Speaker 1>right now too. You know, not only the grace and presence,

0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:46.399
<v Speaker 1>but also of you all. But also you know, the

0:39:46.480 --> 0:39:50.640
<v Speaker 1>expansion into new things, the the the honoring you know,

0:39:50.840 --> 0:39:54.319
<v Speaker 1>your inspirations and trying new things and not staying in

0:39:54.360 --> 0:39:57.120
<v Speaker 1>a box. I appreciate that. I love that. So what's

0:39:57.160 --> 0:39:59.360
<v Speaker 1>next for you, Jennifer? Like you've done, like you do?

0:40:00.160 --> 0:40:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Like what's next? You know, I can't speaking of you

0:40:04.600 --> 0:40:07.279
<v Speaker 1>know what Jenna said. I I can't stay in a box.

0:40:07.320 --> 0:40:10.520
<v Speaker 1>And so I'm constantly you know, I'm a virgo. So

0:40:10.520 --> 0:40:12.279
<v Speaker 1>so part of what that is is like we see

0:40:12.280 --> 0:40:15.000
<v Speaker 1>things with new eyes. We love new things. We constantly

0:40:15.000 --> 0:40:18.040
<v Speaker 1>approach things like you know, it's the first time. So

0:40:18.680 --> 0:40:20.879
<v Speaker 1>that's sort of my limbs on the world. And so

0:40:20.920 --> 0:40:25.239
<v Speaker 1>I love expanding into newness and pushing myself in that way.

0:40:25.320 --> 0:40:29.520
<v Speaker 1>So I've we just announced last week. Um, I'm a

0:40:29.560 --> 0:40:33.080
<v Speaker 1>part of the new Exorcist movie that's coming out. I

0:40:33.080 --> 0:40:36.080
<v Speaker 1>have a key role in that. I love you, But

0:40:36.080 --> 0:40:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I hate scary movies. What do I do we watch?

0:40:40.160 --> 0:40:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Here's the thing. I can't watch them either. Yeah, watch

0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:44.880
<v Speaker 1>it during the day and you can and now you know,

0:40:44.920 --> 0:40:47.040
<v Speaker 1>you can hit if it gets too intense, you can hit.

0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:50.080
<v Speaker 1>You see it in the theaters. There you go, you

0:40:50.120 --> 0:40:52.399
<v Speaker 1>watch your f and then you tell them, let them,

0:40:52.440 --> 0:40:55.440
<v Speaker 1>let them know if they can handle it. Okay, um, yeah,

0:40:55.480 --> 0:40:58.279
<v Speaker 1>but uh so I'm super excited about that. You know,

0:40:58.520 --> 0:41:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I love I love all for storytelling, and so my

0:41:02.080 --> 0:41:05.480
<v Speaker 1>acting is just another piece of bad. I've been working

0:41:05.480 --> 0:41:08.799
<v Speaker 1>on a musical for a number of years now that

0:41:08.960 --> 0:41:12.000
<v Speaker 1>it takes a long time to get these things right,

0:41:12.040 --> 0:41:15.279
<v Speaker 1>and but the momentum for that is really picking up.

0:41:15.280 --> 0:41:19.319
<v Speaker 1>So I hope to be able to announce more about that.

0:41:19.400 --> 0:41:22.160
<v Speaker 1>And it's definitely my obsession. When I'm not you know,

0:41:22.320 --> 0:41:25.200
<v Speaker 1>doing something else, I'm wanting to be creating on that.

0:41:25.200 --> 0:41:27.280
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome, Jennifer. We need to do a movie together,

0:41:27.440 --> 0:41:29.399
<v Speaker 1>like we gotta, we gotta figure something out. That would

0:41:29.400 --> 0:41:32.600
<v Speaker 1>be really but it would be so good to be

0:41:32.600 --> 0:41:34.439
<v Speaker 1>a romantic comedy because I want to come to set,

0:41:34.480 --> 0:41:43.280
<v Speaker 1>but I'm scared everything rom com not horror. Ye please please, Well, Jennifer,

0:41:43.320 --> 0:41:45.280
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much for coming on. We really appreciate

0:41:45.320 --> 0:41:47.520
<v Speaker 1>and thank you for just being open to just talk about,

0:41:47.640 --> 0:41:51.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, the highs and the lows. Yeah, this is

0:41:51.440 --> 0:41:53.320
<v Speaker 1>my favorite of the day. I have to say, it

0:41:53.440 --> 0:41:55.640
<v Speaker 1>just felt like a homecoming. You know, like, oh yeah,

0:41:55.680 --> 0:41:59.239
<v Speaker 1>they sure my people high we have aggressively when we're

0:41:59.239 --> 0:42:04.839
<v Speaker 1>in a person. So you're yere in la. Al right girl,

0:42:04.880 --> 0:42:10.839
<v Speaker 1>al right, thank you bye. Such a beautiful I love her,

0:42:12.239 --> 0:42:15.359
<v Speaker 1>you guys, like I used to frock out to sugar Land,

0:42:15.080 --> 0:42:18.160
<v Speaker 1>like the baby girl was like trying to be all cool,

0:42:18.200 --> 0:42:20.480
<v Speaker 1>but we're all like I remember the concert when she

0:42:20.520 --> 0:42:24.120
<v Speaker 1>came out and she wore this incredible like this is

0:42:24.120 --> 0:42:26.080
<v Speaker 1>how I knew she would always be an actress because

0:42:26.120 --> 0:42:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the way her stage presence was. When she was on stage,

0:42:28.960 --> 0:42:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I was just like, oh, this is not for babies,

0:42:31.760 --> 0:42:37.480
<v Speaker 1>like she owns it. I'm gonna let you do this.

0:42:38.960 --> 0:42:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Love love her so much, genuine and I really enjoyed

0:42:42.880 --> 0:42:45.640
<v Speaker 1>the point of like I just have to touch on

0:42:45.680 --> 0:42:48.560
<v Speaker 1>this real quick, but I enjoyed that. Like our circles

0:42:48.560 --> 0:42:52.720
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't be as big. Yeah, oh you guys, and bitch,

0:42:52.719 --> 0:42:57.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm tired. I'm tired, and circles shouldn't be big. But

0:42:57.040 --> 0:42:59.760
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting about the circles because even when your circles

0:42:59.760 --> 0:43:03.680
<v Speaker 1>are small, you might have a mole anything else you

0:43:03.719 --> 0:43:05.759
<v Speaker 1>want to share a graamer Nope, not yet. No, I

0:43:05.760 --> 0:43:08.279
<v Speaker 1>don't trust anyone. According to Amy. So apparently there's more

0:43:08.480 --> 0:43:16.680
