WEBVTT - Introducing Ellis Ever After

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>You don't need nobody to give you an opportunity, go

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>make it on your own.

0:00:03.760 --> 0:00:09.119
<v Speaker 2>Wow, it all started with real talk. You see, you

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:10.480
<v Speaker 2>can't even talk straight as.

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 1>A Sociologists theorized that in heterosexual relationship mothers are more

0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:16.480
<v Speaker 1>unhappy with their marriages after they have children because they

0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>tend to take on more second shift work, child care

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:22.480
<v Speaker 1>and housework and begin to feel that their relationships are

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 1>no longer fair. I can honestly say that is not true, unfiltered,

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 1>honest and straight from the heart.

0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:31.320
<v Speaker 2>And when my mom was like, you're moving my daughter.

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Weird quit where when she put the h from the

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 1>W where I knew she was concerned, but I said,

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I got the crown height. We're good. I got this.

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Since then, we've gone on to become webbe award winning

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>podcasters in New York Times bestselling authors.

0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I kind of feel like it gives a little bit

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:48.479
<v Speaker 2>of octemoron vive right, because if you're writing a relationship

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 2>book with two people on the cover, it says we

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:51.880
<v Speaker 2>over me, I'm on de VAO's back. It's like, hey,

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 2>here's like how we have the perfect relationship. But I

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:56.800
<v Speaker 2>think once you dive into the book, you see how

0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 2>imperfect we were in so many moments. Dead Ass was

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 2>more than a podcast for us.

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 3>It was about our growth.

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Grit is the mental fortitude that you have to have

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.679
<v Speaker 1>to say, you know what. It takes ten years to

0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:11.039
<v Speaker 1>become an OVERNIGHTE.

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Level a place where we could be vulnerable.

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if people know this, but you you

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.479
<v Speaker 1>know you had to get emergency surgery and I could

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>have lost you after having Jackson. That's why this is

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>so important to me to have this discussion be wrong.

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 3>I knew that this was gonna be my last time

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 3>seeing her, so I said, So I said, love you

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.119
<v Speaker 3>and thank you for everything, and.

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Just watch over for us, but most importantly be us.

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 2>And I just put everything in this zimplot back and

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I threw it into the bushes and then I went

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 2>all my merry way. But the relief that I felt.

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>After that, yeah, I'm never I've never heard this full story.

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 2>But as we know, life keeps evolving and so do we,

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 2>and through it all, one thing has never changed. Thing

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 2>to me, Baby, I said, I'm geek.

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Damn hey, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty.

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Eh, this is elic And.

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 1>If you don't feel any pressure then that means it

0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter enough. Pressure doesn't only bust pice with it
