<v Speaker 1>sucky datter, Jared ha Ben. We have a very special

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:28.080
<v Speaker 1>co host with us today, a young lady who doesn't

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 1>suck at dating, but she has she has sucked at

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:34.599
<v Speaker 1>dating in the past. Um, I I don't, I shouldn't.

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I should have said that, but

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.839
<v Speaker 1>we have Jenna Cooper here with us today. Jenna, Welcome

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 1>to the podcast. Thank you, Thank you. Ed. Yes, I

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:46.680
<v Speaker 1>have very much sucked at making decisions towards what got

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 1>me into bad dating. That's what I was alluding to.

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 1>We've seen some of your bad dating choices, um, nationally

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>on television, so that's what I was alluding to. But

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 1>now you're married, you are you are married, you have

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 1>a kid, so you don't start your dating anymore. No,

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:07.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's so great. I had always heard older

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 1>people tell me I'm so glad I'm married, I'm so good.

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't have to date. And I was just like,

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I was like, why, it's fun because I was young

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>and it was great. And then I went to a

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>string of really really bad, traumatizing dating, and I was like,

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 1>that's why. Now I'm married and I'm happy. I can

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.120
<v Speaker 1>wear my sweats that can be totally myself. That's great.

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh. Jared and I talked about it all

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 1>the time on this podcast. How lucky we are to

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 1>have convinced our our wives to date us and marry us.

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Because dating, Um, when you're doing it, it's fun. Yeah,

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 1>but once you're in like a long term relationship, especially

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>you now you have a kid, especially like I can't

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>even imagine going back to dating. So we are very

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>lucky and honored to have our partners with us. There's

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>no question about it. Um. But welcome to the podcast.

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>We're happy to have you co host with us today.

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I was looking back, I think this is the first

0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.080
<v Speaker 1>time we've had you co host with us, right, I

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 1>think so, yes, And I don't think I've ever met

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>you in person, so formerly nice to meet you, even

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>though it's digitally here. Um. For the listeners out there,

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>we know Jenna, we know Jenna from I want to say,

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 1>not Colton season are season. We know we know you

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>from our season. We know you a little bit better.

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>From Bachelor in Paradise season five. I want to say,

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.119
<v Speaker 1>I think it was five. Actually yeah. The only reason

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I say that because I was on four and I

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:32.120
<v Speaker 1>was on six and I don't remember you and um

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:33.800
<v Speaker 1>and Jared, Hello, how are you? I haven't said how

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 1>do you yet? It's quite alright. No, you're killing the

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>game right now. I feel like on this podcast there

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>are times where I take over, and then there are

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>times where you take over, and this feels like a

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.639
<v Speaker 1>podcast that's gonna take over, which I'm totally fine with

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 1>because I'm feeling off today, just like a lot, like

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna lie this. Henry Cavill's Superman News really

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.360
<v Speaker 1>got me down in the dumps, bro, Like, I am

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.919
<v Speaker 1>pretty depressed about it, and now everything is like piling

0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.360
<v Speaker 1>on top of it, and now I'm thinking about like

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 1>issues that I have of my personal life with family

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>or business, and now like I'm just gonna run. You

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.800
<v Speaker 1>know how you dis cycle? Can you fill me in? Jenna?

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 1>And because I have no idea what you're talking about?

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 1>You guys don't have to know. It's a little bit

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.080
<v Speaker 1>dumbest ever. But Henry Cavill, I don't know if you

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>guys remember you have Okay. I'm a big superhero Superman fan.

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>It means a lot to me. Henry cavill has been Superman,

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.079
<v Speaker 1>but he there's been a lot of controversy over the

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:24.959
<v Speaker 1>past several years. He made Man of Steel. It was

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>a great movie, but then there's been other movies that

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.920
<v Speaker 1>haven't been as good. Some people would argue I would

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 1>argue differently, but he hasn't really gotten a chance to

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 1>have his own Superman movie. He's only made cameos. It's

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>been really weird. He's a great Superman. He got announced

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 1>a couple of months ago that he's finally coming back

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>after years, years of speculation and fans wanting him to

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>be back as Superman, and everybody was so excited. He

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>went on a freaking press tour to announce his return

0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>as Superman easton our Very one producers saw him in

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.360
<v Speaker 1>person because he went on Seacrest and Kelly I think

0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>that's the name of the show. But he went on

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, yep, I'm back a Superman. And

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>then now there's been like all these different varying reports

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 1>that he might not be as back because d C

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 1>hired James Gunn as like CEO of their superhero slate,

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 1>and they were saying that James Gunn might change a

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of things. And then it finally got announced yesterday

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 1>and a heartbreaking post by Henry Cavill that officially he's

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>not returning a Superman and it just really just like

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:28.359
<v Speaker 1>made me sad and bitter and angry, and then that's fine,

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.919
<v Speaker 1>I'll get over it. But then, of course, like you

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.840
<v Speaker 1>know how like something will set you off and then

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>immediately be like, you know what else sucks? That sucks,

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.720
<v Speaker 1>and then everything just like piles on top. So it's

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.480
<v Speaker 1>divulged into my personal life. Now everything's fine between Ashley

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 1>and I. Has nothing to do with Ashley I other

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 1>aspects of it, but anyway, that's where I'm at today.

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Deem continue, Jenna, it's very nice meeting you once again.

0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for coming on the podcast. Superman

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.840
<v Speaker 1>has nothing to do with dating Jenna. Do you have

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.719
<v Speaker 1>any insight on this whole Henry Cavill situation, because I

0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 1>have got nothing, Nobody, nobody wants it, Nobody wants the

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.719
<v Speaker 1>inside now, and you know what, like just something that

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I've kind of learned over the years is that we

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>might never really know like why, And even if they

0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 1>say why, it's maybe not actually why. There may be

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>some other weird things going on. So maybe it'll end

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 1>up being for the best. Maybe there's some other big

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.480
<v Speaker 1>movie he said, or I mean, who knows, but he

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:27.720
<v Speaker 1>got fired and see what happens. Even James Gunn came

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>out and said that, which is so sad. I will say,

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.239
<v Speaker 1>I know, I was really critical of Man of Steel

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.719
<v Speaker 1>last episode. Go back and listen to it. I'm not

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:37.920
<v Speaker 1>a fan of Man of Steel, and I hey, Jared,

0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, it's okay, but today's not the day of

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>my friend. But let me tell you where I'm going

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 1>with this is. My issue with Man of Steel was

0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 1>not Henry cavill. I think he was fine as an actor.

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I do think he really has the Superman look to him,

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and I really appreciate that he looks like Superman. He

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>looks right like he's got the strong jaw, the clean shape,

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 1>the nice clothed hair, the muscles. He's he was a superman.

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Um My issues with the movie were not Henry cavill centric.

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:10.520
<v Speaker 1>So I'm sorry. I wish you weren't um having a

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>bad day because of this news, but here we are.

0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully it gets better. Thank you, Jenna. Sometimes I realized,

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>trust me, I care about things that it should not

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.560
<v Speaker 1>matter way too much. But you know, I guess that's

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:26.040
<v Speaker 1>what life is all about, right, You're passionate. Yeah, yeah,

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 1>that's more than I can say. I go, I just

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>moved through life not caring about anything. You're in a

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 1>way better situation than night, Jenna. I'm in the middle.

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 1>I choose, Jenna, give us a life update because it's

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>been a long time since we've seen you on our TVs.

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Of course, we can follow you on social media and stuff,

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>and we see all of the big news that you're

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.039
<v Speaker 1>going through and all of these incredible life experiences that

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.160
<v Speaker 1>you're having. Give us like an elevator pitch of kind

0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>of what you've been up to since last time we

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:57.159
<v Speaker 1>saw you on TV. Oh my, okay, so let's see

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 1>on TV everything was great and fun. Actually was a

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 1>pretty pretty good experience. Then everything kind of that happened

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 1>after was you know, a big lie, blown up and exaggerated,

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>and I kind of went to hiding. He would say,

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 1>like I knew it wasn't true, but it was just

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 1>hard to walk in public like with my head up,

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>knowing that everybody thinks I'm, like, I didn't know, like

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:26.200
<v Speaker 1>a cheater, a sugar baby, whatever they were, whatever they

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 1>were saying. I was, um, yeah, let's get some context

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 1>to that, because I remember that that was the craziest thing.

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 1>And I was not even really following it that closely,

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>but I remember when um, it pretty much came out

0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 1>that everything. So it's like hard, it's hard to explain,

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to understand it. That's the problem is it

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 1>makes no sense and it came from nothing. If something

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 1>would have happened, you know, I could have the best

0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 1>thing for me to do would have, you know, complain

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 1>and said, Okay, I'm sorry for this. This is what

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the real situation was, what it went over. The problem

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 1>is it was totally made up. So the producers called

0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 1>me when you know, they it gets announced by reality

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>see that I am trying to even remember. I think

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 1>that I was I was cheating on Jordan's with like

0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:23.000
<v Speaker 1>a sugar daddy, I guess. And then these fake text

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 1>came out, which by the way, we're very terribly made,

0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 1>like they could have made them more believable. And the

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.239
<v Speaker 1>producers called me and just say like, is this true?

0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.200
<v Speaker 1>And I was like laughing because they're reading me these

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 1>texts in the article and I'm like, no, like, nobody's

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna believe that that's app but none of that's true.

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:43.560
<v Speaker 1>But then, um, a lot of people did believe it.

0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 1>And I think the worst thing was Jordan was like, yeah,

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 1>it's true, like she admitted it. I don't know why

0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 1>he did that. I was a very confused. So I

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>basically just kind of like to say anything because, um,

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I was getting like these emails saying, you're under contract,

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>you're not allowed to say anything. I'm sorry if you

0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 1>want to stand up for yourself, but don't say anything.

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.000
<v Speaker 1>And I would say, well, how come, how come Jordan

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 1>can do these interviews? Like what can I just say

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.960
<v Speaker 1>a few things, just say it's not true. I want

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.560
<v Speaker 1>my privacy. It was really weird, and I so I

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 1>had like some lawyers and they said the same thing.

0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.600
<v Speaker 1>They said, if you want to have like a case

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 1>with this, which you have, don't say anything. So I

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.560
<v Speaker 1>was just quiet and if I ever made a post.

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 1>It was just weird. Picture. I could barely say anything

0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 1>and it just didn't make sense. So like I understand

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 1>why everybody was like, well, it's probably true because I

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 1>had such a weird quiet reaction. So like now, like

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>years later, I would respond so much differently. I would

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.320
<v Speaker 1>tell him everything going on behind the scenes, like things

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:47.200
<v Speaker 1>that lies that were told to me, like what the

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.679
<v Speaker 1>truth was. But um, I didn't know how to handle it,

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.720
<v Speaker 1>very naive. I think that's why they chose me initially

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:54.480
<v Speaker 1>to go on the show, because I had never been

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 1>on a plane, I didn't understand the entertainment industry, and

0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.319
<v Speaker 1>I was just kind of like a plant for comedic

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 1>relief that they and mold into anything. And that's what happened.

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.480
<v Speaker 1>And I was okay with that because I understand that

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 1>when you go on to Bachelor, you're given to edit

0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 1>you you have to just stick with it and just

0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>and and that sign it. Um. But everything that happened

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 1>after that that affected my real life was awful. And

0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:20.320
<v Speaker 1>there were local newspapers, you know, printing the story. It was.

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 1>It was everywhere. So I was like, okay, I can't date,

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 1>and I was just totally alone. I kind of became

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:28.200
<v Speaker 1>like a order. I was like I don't want to

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.200
<v Speaker 1>take my trash. I was literally just depressed. It was

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 1>bad and I didn't know how to deal with it.

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have tons of support outside of like my family,

0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.680
<v Speaker 1>like a few friends, and I understand the bachelor world.

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Really that's it. You don't want to get into it,

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.840
<v Speaker 1>right because if you come out and say maybe it's

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.400
<v Speaker 1>not true, you might get attacked because that's how the

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.440
<v Speaker 1>internet works. You get one side and everybody has to

0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:53.160
<v Speaker 1>pile on. And everybody was like, oh, poor Jordan, and

0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 1>she she looks crazy, right, So I felt like I

0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.640
<v Speaker 1>became the person that they blamed for anybody who has

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.880
<v Speaker 1>ever them, were cheated on them, or maybe their parents

0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 1>got divorced or something. They all it's like they took

0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.520
<v Speaker 1>it out on me. And I can read these messages

0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.720
<v Speaker 1>and and feel how hurt people are and they just

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.280
<v Speaker 1>want to take it out. And I guess I just

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 1>became that person. Um and it brought me down. I

0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 1>felt like a huge weight for a long time. But

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 1>now I know it sounds like cliche, but now I

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 1>feel so much stronger and so much smarter because of it,

0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:29.600
<v Speaker 1>And weirdly, I'm actually glad it happened. Because of the

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 1>big shift in just like the dynamic on Reddit, them

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 1>not decided to just trash people right away, the fact

0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.640
<v Speaker 1>that reality seems if I'm gonna bet my sources better.

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like there was a change that at

0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 1>least was something good came out of it, and um,

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of people reached out and apologized later,

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like I developed friendships and met a

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of cool people and had experiences that like I'm

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.480
<v Speaker 1>so thankful for because like such as a meeting Carl,

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.680
<v Speaker 1>having pres slate and and that's kind of where I

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 1>was getting at with go on TV. It's fun and great.

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Terrible thing happens, but now I'm happy and I feel

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 1>like I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. Yeah, it's definitely.

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:16.600
<v Speaker 1>It's definitely tough when you have everything that you want

0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 1>now right You've got your husband, your kid, and it's

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.880
<v Speaker 1>hard to look back and regret anything because all those

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:22.600
<v Speaker 1>things in a weird way led you to where you are,

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.200
<v Speaker 1>which is great. Um, I don't want to I'm not

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.840
<v Speaker 1>trying to minimize your situation at all. Have you guys

0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 1>ever played the game the Village before? Where are you

0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 1>going with this? So? There's this game that we played

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 1>in Pakistan every night. It's called the village. If if

0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:39.079
<v Speaker 1>you have like ten people, there's two wolves and then

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.720
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of villagers, and every night the wolf, like

0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, you close your eyes, you go to bed,

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.920
<v Speaker 1>and the wolves kill one villager and then you wake

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.720
<v Speaker 1>up in the morning and you're supposed to guess who

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 1>the wolf is and you want to vote them out

0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 1>of the village essentially. And when you play that game,

0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 1>if you're a villager and you're like one of the

0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.360
<v Speaker 1>good guys, but you're being accused of being a wolf,

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.920
<v Speaker 1>and you know in your heart, you're like, I am

0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.280
<v Speaker 1>telling the truth and none of you are believing me.

0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:10.160
<v Speaker 1>There's no worse feeling than knowing what you're saying is true,

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.880
<v Speaker 1>but having a group of people believe that you're lying.

0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.200
<v Speaker 1>And I can't imagine that's what I'm saying. I can't

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.840
<v Speaker 1>imagine how helpless you must have felt, because it's one

0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:22.120
<v Speaker 1>of the like in such a trivial, non meaningful game,

0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 1>it's such a bad feeling. But this this wasn't just

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:26.079
<v Speaker 1>a game. You know, this is your life. So I

0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.600
<v Speaker 1>can only imagine what But that's a good no. But

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.239
<v Speaker 1>that's a good way to describe it, and like imagine,

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:33.720
<v Speaker 1>because you know, the best way is to try to

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 1>understand the situation is to try to put yourself in

0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 1>somebody else's shoes. And I know a lot of people

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 1>in the show have gone through a lot of drama

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 1>because I've made up things too, and it's just awful.

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 1>So I just try to say, like, imagine, if this

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.440
<v Speaker 1>comes out about you, let's take it to a lower scale.

0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.520
<v Speaker 1>It's because you know a lot of normal people who

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.960
<v Speaker 1>will come on here like and bully people they say

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 1>are like celebrities, which I don't consider myself from very

0:13:57.080 --> 0:14:00.200
<v Speaker 1>much normal. Like to them, they were like, oh, I

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:01.880
<v Speaker 1>can say anything to me, and I want to to her.

0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.679
<v Speaker 1>But I'm like, okay, let's just say you go into

0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>work and somebody sends an email saying you did something

0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 1>absolutely terrible and everybody believes it. But the thing is,

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 1>how do you prove something that's not true? Like, like

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, you can't, you can't, you can't. They're like,

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 1>we'll go through your text records. Okay, I did that,

0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.880
<v Speaker 1>but if there's not if these texts aren't real, I'm

0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.000
<v Speaker 1>not going to find them. So what do I say

0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 1>to you. So I literally, I mean I didn't even

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 1>have that much money at the time. I literally use

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 1>all my money to hire people to go through all

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 1>my personal information to say this never happened. These texts

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 1>were never sent. I mean, they went through my eye cloud.

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.360
<v Speaker 1>It's like so gross to think about the invasion. But

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I let them in just to try to prove that

0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I didn't do it. And then it came out and

0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:57.120
<v Speaker 1>they were like, you made that up. You made that

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 1>So I just I kind of cant up. How do

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:02.840
<v Speaker 1>these rumors even start? Like? Who do you know who

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.160
<v Speaker 1>the like? And you don't have to name names or

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:05.760
<v Speaker 1>anything like that, but do you know who the person

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:07.840
<v Speaker 1>was that reached out to Reality Steve about it the

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 1>first time? Okay, I don't think I can say the

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:18.360
<v Speaker 1>person that we found to be sure the one created

0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:22.520
<v Speaker 1>the text, because something might still happen because of that.

0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Like legally, I don't really want to like resut it

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.480
<v Speaker 1>that I have, but there, but I do have, which

0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm so glad I talked to um Steve because he

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:37.280
<v Speaker 1>gave me the information showing a couple other people who

0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.640
<v Speaker 1>were very involved in spreading it around. Because there were

0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 1>multiple stories and he did kind of run with them

0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>and looking at them like I have emails. They're so

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.880
<v Speaker 1>fake and I don't know why he believed them. But yeah,

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 1>so there's there's three people, two women, and then somebody

0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 1>who is actually very close to Jordan is the one

0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:04.120
<v Speaker 1>that made them up. Um, which is it's terrible, um,

0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.120
<v Speaker 1>but it kind of makes sense. It kind of actually

0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.240
<v Speaker 1>makes sense because there was definitely a motivation there. Um.

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.160
<v Speaker 1>I just wish I would have known this years ago.

0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>But now outside Yeah, yeah, it's so tough. Two things. One, Um, well,

0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I remember you said that you look crazy. You don't

0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:26.400
<v Speaker 1>look crazy, first of all. Uh. Secondly, your story is

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:30.640
<v Speaker 1>so so different because yes, we go on the show

0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.920
<v Speaker 1>and you know, there is a certain level of editing

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.520
<v Speaker 1>of course that goes on and we get edited to look,

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, either more like something or less like something,

0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.120
<v Speaker 1>and that doesn't pack our lives. But most of the time,

0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:47.560
<v Speaker 1>what I tell people a lot is it doesn't. It's

0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:49.600
<v Speaker 1>not going to ruin your life. You know, it's just

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 1>it's not like you're gonna get like Ashley. Definitely, you

0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 1>know it has more to her than just crying. But

0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:57.960
<v Speaker 1>of course they're gonna high like that. But you know,

0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 1>it's all funny and most of it's just for laughs,

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 1>and if you can take yourself less seriously, yes, there

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:04.639
<v Speaker 1>are going to be people who are rude, but you

0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:06.879
<v Speaker 1>can get the perfect edit and there's still people are

0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.399
<v Speaker 1>going to be rude to what happened. What happened with

0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:15.920
<v Speaker 1>you is wildly different because yours came after the show.

0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.840
<v Speaker 1>That didn't. It is crazy to think that all this

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.879
<v Speaker 1>happened after the show. Was it ever talked about on

0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:25.840
<v Speaker 1>the show at like a reunion because I don't remember. No, Okay, no,

0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.320
<v Speaker 1>they they asked me to go back on Paradise and

0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I am like, absolutely not. Of course

0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.679
<v Speaker 1>they told me, you know, you can have your conversation

0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.520
<v Speaker 1>with him, because I think he like blocked me. I

0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.679
<v Speaker 1>don't know he said I blocked. I'm confused. But we

0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.040
<v Speaker 1>never Jordan, I never had any type of closure. That's

0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.280
<v Speaker 1>actually not a terrible idea because there's so many things.

0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.919
<v Speaker 1>There's so many things that he knew he uh um.

0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:55.600
<v Speaker 1>But anyways, yeah, no, there was never never anything. It's weird.

0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.439
<v Speaker 1>It's just kind of still like floating out there. I'm

0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:00.720
<v Speaker 1>just glad other good things that happened in my life.

0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:02.919
<v Speaker 1>To cover up some of the terrible articles. I couldn't

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.919
<v Speaker 1>get jobs. They were like, I'm sorry, they were like,

0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.439
<v Speaker 1>it might not be true, but like we can't. We

0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:11.280
<v Speaker 1>can't risk it and hire you because of what you

0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:16.879
<v Speaker 1>look like on the internet. Like it sucks it just

0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:18.840
<v Speaker 1>and well, I'm so glad that you got over that,

0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.200
<v Speaker 1>because yeah, I can only I remember hearing the news

0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.040
<v Speaker 1>that it was that Steve came out and said I

0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.880
<v Speaker 1>was wrong. This is all fabricated and I really screwed up,

0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:35.080
<v Speaker 1>um and being like and just thinking, holy that that

0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.800
<v Speaker 1>was all on true, Like that was fake. He got duped.

0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.080
<v Speaker 1>And listen, I'm not trying to drag him as Steve.

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:43.360
<v Speaker 1>He does a great job at his job. On him,

0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.120
<v Speaker 1>I personally like him. I don't care if you guys

0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:46.240
<v Speaker 1>like him or not. I don't like it. I don't

0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:48.359
<v Speaker 1>know him personally. But my point is, of course he's

0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:50.720
<v Speaker 1>good at his job, Like he gets the majority of things.

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:52.920
<v Speaker 1>He's bad at his job. Look at what he did.

0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Look what an example of like horrible nous um, but

0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:01.320
<v Speaker 1>it is. I mean, it's crazy to think, but I

0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:04.440
<v Speaker 1>mean the point being one, I'm just very happy that

0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:06.800
<v Speaker 1>that is behind you. It just sucks that you had

0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:10.480
<v Speaker 1>to go through that, and it's really unlike anything any

0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Bachelor contestant has ever experienced, because this is very different

0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:17.560
<v Speaker 1>think getting quote unquote a bad edit um, because even

0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.040
<v Speaker 1>people who get like quote unquote bad edit, like they

0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.480
<v Speaker 1>still do things and it's like, well, you did do that,

0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 1>you did say that you It was like, no, I didn't.

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm true, like I am being honest, I did

0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.879
<v Speaker 1>not do this, and nobody believed you. And it's just sad,

0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:35.560
<v Speaker 1>but I'm so happy for you. Thank you. Do you

0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:38.160
<v Speaker 1>want to know the worst part. The worst part about

0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:41.720
<v Speaker 1>that is I think it's because since I was like

0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:45.199
<v Speaker 1>young and started working, there were so many situations of

0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:47.359
<v Speaker 1>like men in power who wanted to abuse it and

0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:51.520
<v Speaker 1>who did offer money, bonuses, whatever it was, and I

0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.560
<v Speaker 1>always said no, like, it's definitely out there. I know

0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:55.440
<v Speaker 1>it's out there. I don't judge people. I don't care.

0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't care if you're a sugar baby, do not care.

0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:00.920
<v Speaker 1>It's just the fact that I always wanted to be

0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:02.920
<v Speaker 1>independent and work extra hard so I didn't have to

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.600
<v Speaker 1>take anything from anybody, like especially a man. I just

0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:07.720
<v Speaker 1>never wanted to be in that position and so for

0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:11.000
<v Speaker 1>that to come out essentially becoming like my identity for

0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:13.920
<v Speaker 1>two years at least on the internet, it was, Yeah,

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:17.800
<v Speaker 1>that's what that's what was so hard. And then for

0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:20.879
<v Speaker 1>obviously for the person that I was engaged to to

0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:25.240
<v Speaker 1>like not stand by I mean whatsoever um that art too,

0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:28.159
<v Speaker 1>Like Jordanized relationship. I don't think a lot of people

0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:33.680
<v Speaker 1>know a lot about it because like it wasn't very public,

0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:36.280
<v Speaker 1>I guess because you know how you're supposed to kind

0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:38.800
<v Speaker 1>of keep it a secret until Paradise. Well, the story

0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:41.560
<v Speaker 1>came out the night the finale aired, so it was

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:43.720
<v Speaker 1>all really weird and nobody really ever got to know,

0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:47.679
<v Speaker 1>but that we definitely had like our struggles and so

0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:50.520
<v Speaker 1>like for him, like I was choosing to love him

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and to try to make this relationship where it was

0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.399
<v Speaker 1>not perfect in rainbows and butterflies like it was, it

0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:58.399
<v Speaker 1>was hard, and I think, like if you only have

0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:01.439
<v Speaker 1>one person trying and one person kind of happened, thinking

0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:04.720
<v Speaker 1>like like, I'm not gonna blame him totally for it,

0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:06.720
<v Speaker 1>because I think he was getting these messages from these

0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 1>other women and was a little bit like worried. But

0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 1>for him to to tell me, I cannot stand about

0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:15.040
<v Speaker 1>you publicly and then to break up with me through

0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:18.040
<v Speaker 1>an Instagram post. I didn't even know it was. He

0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:20.080
<v Speaker 1>was just you know, yes, that's how I found out,

0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:22.760
<v Speaker 1>like that we were like, our engagement was totally off.

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.399
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, this is dramatic black in my

0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Instagram post was like okay, so none, so none of

0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:35.840
<v Speaker 1>that was normal. So I get that people. I get

0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:38.240
<v Speaker 1>that people were confused and didn't really know what to believe.

0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:39.800
<v Speaker 1>And we're like, well, I guess it must be true,

0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:41.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, because he's saying it's true and breaking up

0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:45.520
<v Speaker 1>with me and is, yeah, you know what, do you

0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:48.040
<v Speaker 1>know what the worst? The worst part is And I've

0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:50.000
<v Speaker 1>told a few other people I say that was the

0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:52.560
<v Speaker 1>worst part. This was the worst part, getting like blamed

0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:56.720
<v Speaker 1>for that. He actually Jordan's actually had a girlfriend when

0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:59.720
<v Speaker 1>we were engaged, and I'm not The thing is like,

0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:03.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to like start anything because he at

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:05.440
<v Speaker 1>least he told me, so I was like, okay, he said,

0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:08.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I'm breaking up with her now. I was like,

0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I know people go on the show of dating people.

0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:12.359
<v Speaker 1>I know they did. I honestly was not even that.

0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like, you probably came on here for fun whatever.

0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:17.400
<v Speaker 1>For me, I didn't know if you would really find love.

0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:20.520
<v Speaker 1>But that was I think, really hard. So it was

0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:23.639
<v Speaker 1>so many things that piled up, and then the truth

0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:25.919
<v Speaker 1>was never put out, so I get to people just

0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:28.320
<v Speaker 1>had to go with whatever they saw in the media

0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:32.680
<v Speaker 1>and articles and is right. It's interesting too because if

0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:36.480
<v Speaker 1>you if you were to, if anyone were to cheat

0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:40.879
<v Speaker 1>on someone and gets caught, then you're like, Okay, I

0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:43.439
<v Speaker 1>feel bad and people are angry at me, but I

0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:48.119
<v Speaker 1>deserve it because if you're getting all of this like

0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:51.520
<v Speaker 1>negative attention from people because they think he did something

0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:53.960
<v Speaker 1>wrong and you didn't even do the thing that was

0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:58.480
<v Speaker 1>there blaming you of I like, that's that's that's like

0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I think anyone in that situation Asian would uh, like

0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:03.600
<v Speaker 1>you said you were you were dealing with depression all

0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:05.280
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff, and you weren't leaving the house.

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I think so many people would have that same reaction

0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:09.439
<v Speaker 1>because it's like, what what what can you do? You

0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:11.600
<v Speaker 1>can you can speak until you're blue in the face,

0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:13.480
<v Speaker 1>but like people are gonna believe what they're gonna believe,

0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:17.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, And that's how it was. Yeah, yeah, your

0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:19.879
<v Speaker 1>story does that puts things in perspective, it's one of

0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:22.600
<v Speaker 1>those stories that you hear because even I'm self reflecting

0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:25.280
<v Speaker 1>right now about like what's you know, how like I'm

0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:27.239
<v Speaker 1>set at different things in my life and I'm like,

0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, honestly, it could be I could be in

0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:35.919
<v Speaker 1>this situation where someone's blatantly saying something factually inaccurate, and

0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:40.080
<v Speaker 1>then I'm combating it, and just there's nothing I say

0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:42.879
<v Speaker 1>or do will change people's minds. You know, it's funny too.

0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:45.399
<v Speaker 1>You were talking about how years ago, you know, you

0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:49.960
<v Speaker 1>were said listen, don't say anything. Um, you know, just

0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 1>just you know, you could say it's not true, but

0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:55.000
<v Speaker 1>then don't go into details. It's so funny. I just

0:23:55.200 --> 0:24:00.879
<v Speaker 1>feel that that way of thinking has has should have

0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:02.920
<v Speaker 1>been put to bed a long time ago, because it's

0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:05.080
<v Speaker 1>such an old school way of thinking of like don't

0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:07.679
<v Speaker 1>say anything, You're only gonna hurt yourself. But with social

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:10.960
<v Speaker 1>media today, it's like you have to come out and

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:12.840
<v Speaker 1>defend yourself. You have to come out and say the

0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:17.000
<v Speaker 1>truth because it's not it's a twenty four hour news

0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:18.680
<v Speaker 1>cycle though. You know, it's not the old days where

0:24:18.680 --> 0:24:21.320
<v Speaker 1>you catch the five o'clock news and then that's you know,

0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:23.560
<v Speaker 1>everything is updating throughout the day, in the week, and

0:24:23.720 --> 0:24:25.879
<v Speaker 1>you know weekends you have off, it's like, no this

0:24:26.040 --> 0:24:29.080
<v Speaker 1>you have you find out on Twitter immediately. And if

0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:31.680
<v Speaker 1>somebody doesn't immediately say something, I mean, I can't tell

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:34.080
<v Speaker 1>you how many times I've seen you know, celebrities or

0:24:34.119 --> 0:24:36.439
<v Speaker 1>comics or wherever come out and be like my lawyers

0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:38.240
<v Speaker 1>told me not to say anything, but I'm saying something.

0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Most of the times I'm yeah, yeah, yeah, but do

0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:46.119
<v Speaker 1>you want to? You know what's also funny is the

0:24:46.160 --> 0:24:50.200
<v Speaker 1>fact that, like there's been a lot of changes too

0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:53.360
<v Speaker 1>for like bullying, which I think is great, but like

0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:56.159
<v Speaker 1>when my story was out, first of all, I was

0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:58.480
<v Speaker 1>getting attacked, but I don't even know how many people,

0:24:58.520 --> 0:25:01.960
<v Speaker 1>but also bought somebody was buying bots to like say

0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I had all these sugar daddies and making up these

0:25:03.640 --> 0:25:08.879
<v Speaker 1>fake accounts with these stories. Now, like you can't say

0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:11.480
<v Speaker 1>a mean thing to somebody. Like I was making a

0:25:11.520 --> 0:25:14.360
<v Speaker 1>comment the other day and I said, um, something got

0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:16.240
<v Speaker 1>a pig because I haven't pick. I was talking about

0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:19.080
<v Speaker 1>my pet pig and it got deleted and Instagram said

0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 1>like that to strike, like, you know, we don't allow

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:25.000
<v Speaker 1>any bullying and I was just like, wow, where was

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:28.880
<v Speaker 1>this back in the day. It was like, yeah, So

0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:32.399
<v Speaker 1>I actually had this like social club in Raleigh that

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I had started with like a bunch of women and

0:25:34.520 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 1>we were promoting small businesses and it was so fun. Well,

0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:41.199
<v Speaker 1>somebody made a huge, huge Reddit article that went everywhere,

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:44.800
<v Speaker 1>that went onto Facebook, that made it into a few articles, um,

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:47.080
<v Speaker 1>saying that I was running an escort service, and so

0:25:47.119 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I had to stop. I had to stop doing that

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:51.640
<v Speaker 1>because it was it got it was very negative and

0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:53.600
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of it kind of had to like

0:25:53.840 --> 0:25:58.639
<v Speaker 1>re restart my whole life basically after it. Um. But

0:25:58.640 --> 0:26:01.040
<v Speaker 1>again again, I at least I'm glad where I'm at,

0:26:01.040 --> 0:26:03.800
<v Speaker 1>because I don't know where it would be otherwise. But

0:26:03.880 --> 0:26:09.159
<v Speaker 1>it it's a it's a scar for its very and

0:26:09.160 --> 0:26:11.080
<v Speaker 1>it's tough, and it's a scar that you have, and

0:26:11.080 --> 0:26:14.600
<v Speaker 1>and well, I'm very happy that you've I don't want

0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:17.760
<v Speaker 1>to say, like obviously gotten over that scar. I don't

0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:19.359
<v Speaker 1>know how to phrase it. You can only you're doing

0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:21.520
<v Speaker 1>one who could phrase it. But I'm very happy that

0:26:21.600 --> 0:26:25.680
<v Speaker 1>you have a family. You have, you have your daughters,

0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:29.360
<v Speaker 1>you have one one child, right, yes, yeah, Presley, she's

0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:31.680
<v Speaker 1>two and a half. She's awesome, Prestle two and a half.

0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:34.040
<v Speaker 1>That's a great name. I mean, is she named after

0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Elvis Presley? How about this? No, listen to this. You

0:26:37.840 --> 0:26:42.199
<v Speaker 1>won't believe this, but it's true. So I did not

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:44.680
<v Speaker 1>know it when I chose her name, so it doesn't

0:26:45.320 --> 0:26:49.200
<v Speaker 1>count exactly. But her dad is very distantly related to us,

0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, this is perfect, Like it's pretty distant,

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:56.480
<v Speaker 1>but still so I'm like, she technically has a family name. Ye,

0:26:56.840 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty cool. Hopefully she's in the younger guys because Elvis,

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:02.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, Pressley and Dawson might be you know, a

0:27:02.960 --> 0:27:07.520
<v Speaker 1>future a future playing Yeah, well ten months, so he's

0:27:07.560 --> 0:27:13.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's not bad. So when she's yeah, that's

0:27:13.680 --> 0:27:16.400
<v Speaker 1>really fun. I know, I feel like it's funny once

0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:18.680
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of like in this world, it's like you

0:27:18.720 --> 0:27:23.639
<v Speaker 1>can't really just date normally. So it's like, maybe maybe

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:29.879
<v Speaker 1>our children are gonna have to like should do is?

0:27:30.040 --> 0:27:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, granted, if the show is still on in

0:27:32.560 --> 0:27:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Many Many, you know, I know what you're gonna say,

0:27:35.240 --> 0:27:38.359
<v Speaker 1>We'll just all put all the kids from Bachelor Nation

0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:43.280
<v Speaker 1>on a show on in Paradise. We'll send them to Sayulita,

0:27:43.400 --> 0:27:45.480
<v Speaker 1>and it will just be paradise with the kids on

0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:49.919
<v Speaker 1>the Bachelor. Okay, fine, if like we get to have

0:27:49.960 --> 0:27:52.840
<v Speaker 1>the control, because if the producers are managing that, I

0:27:52.920 --> 0:27:55.880
<v Speaker 1>will not sender. And then then we're the producers, we're

0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the ones. And then there's cameras in the production room

0:27:59.040 --> 0:28:01.159
<v Speaker 1>where we're coming up with like the ideas. Do we

0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:04.120
<v Speaker 1>just think of a really cool, cool idea? I think

0:28:04.119 --> 0:28:06.280
<v Speaker 1>it's great. I mean right now, obviously we can't will

0:28:06.320 --> 0:28:10.720
<v Speaker 1>be you know, exploiting our children. But once they turn eighteen,

0:28:10.800 --> 0:28:15.399
<v Speaker 1>straight to sit, I'll send my dog down or something,

0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:19.439
<v Speaker 1>I guess. So yeah, there you go. Hey, you know

0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:22.600
<v Speaker 1>what we said years from now? Who knows. Yeah, that's true.

0:28:22.680 --> 0:28:35.520
<v Speaker 1>That's true. And like you keep saying, and we keep

0:28:35.520 --> 0:28:37.600
<v Speaker 1>alluding to, everything did work out for the best because

0:28:37.600 --> 0:28:40.680
<v Speaker 1>you have Presley, you have your husband and all those things. Um,

0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:44.320
<v Speaker 1>how did you and the your husband meet? So a

0:28:44.400 --> 0:28:47.840
<v Speaker 1>mutual friend introduced us that they kind of worked together

0:28:47.880 --> 0:28:49.360
<v Speaker 1>and she was just one of my really good friends.

0:28:49.560 --> 0:28:54.479
<v Speaker 1>And um, she told Carl and look around this business

0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:58.040
<v Speaker 1>meeting and how that coffee and then she invited me.

0:28:58.560 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 1>M she told him fifteen minutes before by the way

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:03.600
<v Speaker 1>a friend is just gonna come meet us, and he's

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:08.800
<v Speaker 1>like okay, and I come walking in in like all pink,

0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:11.680
<v Speaker 1>like these sunglasses was pearl. That's like I had a

0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:14.719
<v Speaker 1>little bit of her. And he's probably like what in

0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the world, because Carl is very like reserve, like quiet

0:29:19.040 --> 0:29:23.040
<v Speaker 1>and like sweet. And I was like, but you know,

0:29:23.400 --> 0:29:25.480
<v Speaker 1>somehow I think he kind of liked me, or at

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 1>least he was somewhat intrigued, because you know, we talked

0:29:27.880 --> 0:29:29.320
<v Speaker 1>a little and then we started going on a few

0:29:29.400 --> 0:29:32.160
<v Speaker 1>days and then it was just like we never stopped.

0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:35.560
<v Speaker 1>It was just like and I just really appreciated that

0:29:35.640 --> 0:29:38.960
<v Speaker 1>he didn't know anything about the show, didn't care, has

0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:41.520
<v Speaker 1>never watched it. It was like supportive. And he said,

0:29:41.520 --> 0:29:43.120
<v Speaker 1>if you do, you say that's not true. It's not true,

0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:45.400
<v Speaker 1>because that was I hate it. But that's one of

0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:47.800
<v Speaker 1>the first things I have to say if you look

0:29:47.880 --> 0:29:49.600
<v Speaker 1>me up, because you know, when you go to date somebody,

0:29:49.640 --> 0:29:51.200
<v Speaker 1>what do they do. They google you, They look up

0:29:51.200 --> 0:29:53.800
<v Speaker 1>into him like, well you're gonna see this stuff like

0:29:54.000 --> 0:29:56.800
<v Speaker 1>it's not true. And the fact that he like just

0:29:56.840 --> 0:29:58.880
<v Speaker 1>believe me and stuck out of me was like, it's

0:29:58.960 --> 0:30:02.200
<v Speaker 1>it's fine, it's not that big. The deal was amazing

0:30:02.560 --> 0:30:06.880
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, so then do you find do you find

0:30:06.880 --> 0:30:10.040
<v Speaker 1>that Carl is less reserved after you've you guys been

0:30:10.080 --> 0:30:15.560
<v Speaker 1>together now, because is that? Well? I find myself pretty reserved,

0:30:15.640 --> 0:30:18.920
<v Speaker 1>but I feel like those personalities mesh well because Ashley

0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:21.600
<v Speaker 1>is very opposite and she's brought a lot out of

0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:24.120
<v Speaker 1>me over the past few years that I've always had

0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:27.720
<v Speaker 1>but just have been reserved. And so I finally think

0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:30.200
<v Speaker 1>a little Yeah, so I finally never going to be

0:30:30.240 --> 0:30:32.680
<v Speaker 1>the Instagram husband. Yeah, I'm sure it has. I think

0:30:32.720 --> 0:30:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I think it's really I think it's really good for

0:30:35.880 --> 0:30:39.400
<v Speaker 1>couples like that, um, and I think it has been

0:30:39.440 --> 0:30:41.480
<v Speaker 1>good for us and for him, if for me because

0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:44.920
<v Speaker 1>he'll like bring me down like relaxing, like but like

0:30:45.000 --> 0:30:47.160
<v Speaker 1>just to like a level I need to be at. Um,

0:30:47.200 --> 0:30:50.200
<v Speaker 1>so I'm not like so I don't know, anxious and

0:30:50.280 --> 0:30:53.680
<v Speaker 1>just so cocoa all around all the time. Honestly, yeah,

0:30:53.680 --> 0:30:56.400
<v Speaker 1>pretty much. But he's still like I think he's like,

0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:59.040
<v Speaker 1>oh about like Instagram stuff. He'll he'll he'll get in

0:30:59.040 --> 0:31:01.040
<v Speaker 1>a picture with me, but he's like, I'm not doing

0:31:01.080 --> 0:31:04.640
<v Speaker 1>those like videos. But it's fine, Like he's just it's

0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:08.120
<v Speaker 1>at his personality and I love it so, um it

0:31:08.200 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 1>does work out. He grounds me a lot. Good. Yeah,

0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:13.680
<v Speaker 1>that's good in a weird way, all of that bad

0:31:14.200 --> 0:31:16.840
<v Speaker 1>uh stuff that happened to help your job dodge the

0:31:16.880 --> 0:31:18.920
<v Speaker 1>bullet and led you to Carls. So like, like you

0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:21.680
<v Speaker 1>keep saying that's good. I've never been a big fan

0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:24.360
<v Speaker 1>of Jordan as it stands. He's always been kind of

0:31:24.360 --> 0:31:27.080
<v Speaker 1>a punk to me, said mean things to me every

0:31:27.080 --> 0:31:28.640
<v Speaker 1>time I say it, though Caylen always shoots me a

0:31:28.680 --> 0:31:31.120
<v Speaker 1>look because he did defend Caylin at our reunion, so

0:31:31.200 --> 0:31:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Calin like has a soft spot form The thing with

0:31:33.680 --> 0:31:37.560
<v Speaker 1>him that's hard, I think to know with people if

0:31:37.600 --> 0:31:39.600
<v Speaker 1>you when you're deciding like if you if you like

0:31:39.760 --> 0:31:42.920
<v Speaker 1>him or not, it's the problem is is you don't

0:31:43.000 --> 0:31:47.440
<v Speaker 1>really get to see him because he he puts on

0:31:47.560 --> 0:31:51.880
<v Speaker 1>like this TV personality and him defending her. I hate

0:31:51.880 --> 0:31:53.880
<v Speaker 1>to say it, but he probably did it for himself

0:31:53.920 --> 0:31:58.520
<v Speaker 1>because that's what he does. Um, so he probably likes her.

0:31:58.520 --> 0:32:01.800
<v Speaker 1>But I'm just saying he just things for his image

0:32:01.840 --> 0:32:04.880
<v Speaker 1>for himself. And so that's not to say that underneath

0:32:05.000 --> 0:32:07.360
<v Speaker 1>is a terrible person. I don't really know because I

0:32:07.360 --> 0:32:09.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't really get to see a whole lot of it,

0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:12.760
<v Speaker 1>but it's it's it's calculated when it's on TV or

0:32:12.760 --> 0:32:14.440
<v Speaker 1>it's an article, or he stands up for somebody to

0:32:14.480 --> 0:32:17.160
<v Speaker 1>put somebody down there, you know, there's a reason. Um,

0:32:17.200 --> 0:32:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't really know if he's like that anymore. I

0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:23.040
<v Speaker 1>have not talked to him in years, but yeah, I

0:32:23.120 --> 0:32:25.560
<v Speaker 1>don't think I people can't even decide if they love

0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:28.520
<v Speaker 1>him because they don't. They don't know, And it's it's

0:32:28.560 --> 0:32:29.959
<v Speaker 1>I know, it's like that for a lot of us.

0:32:30.320 --> 0:32:32.160
<v Speaker 1>You can only see what we put on social media,

0:32:32.240 --> 0:32:36.160
<v Speaker 1>but it's a mask, so who knows. That's that's what

0:32:36.200 --> 0:32:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I took. That's what I said to Kaylin every time

0:32:38.200 --> 0:32:40.200
<v Speaker 1>she says that, And I mean, I don't have enough

0:32:40.240 --> 0:32:42.320
<v Speaker 1>in said, I guess, but he said some mean things

0:32:42.400 --> 0:32:45.240
<v Speaker 1>about me and to me and stuff, So I'm sati

0:32:45.440 --> 0:32:48.000
<v Speaker 1>but no, I mean, it's nothing compared to what has

0:32:48.040 --> 0:32:50.479
<v Speaker 1>happened with you. Um it's so funny to think too,

0:32:50.640 --> 0:32:54.520
<v Speaker 1>how like that chapter is just closed now, right because

0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:57.000
<v Speaker 1>I was like five years ago and we're talking about

0:32:57.000 --> 0:32:59.160
<v Speaker 1>it now, which, um, you know, we don't mean to

0:32:59.320 --> 0:33:02.160
<v Speaker 1>bring up old, old past scars or anything like that,

0:33:02.200 --> 0:33:05.880
<v Speaker 1>but it's so interesting how that it was so long ago,

0:33:06.120 --> 0:33:10.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, I know, and do you know why? Actually

0:33:10.560 --> 0:33:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I think this was a good time because I think

0:33:13.440 --> 0:33:18.160
<v Speaker 1>before I would have um either not said that much,

0:33:18.800 --> 0:33:21.360
<v Speaker 1>probably the most open I've been about it maybe ever,

0:33:22.520 --> 0:33:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I think I would have either not said much, been

0:33:26.000 --> 0:33:28.920
<v Speaker 1>like too emotional about it, or this is what I've

0:33:28.920 --> 0:33:30.720
<v Speaker 1>been going there for a while is actually not having

0:33:30.800 --> 0:33:33.800
<v Speaker 1>much of the memory of of anything because just like

0:33:33.800 --> 0:33:37.800
<v Speaker 1>as a trauma response, I just I just deleted everything

0:33:37.880 --> 0:33:40.800
<v Speaker 1>from my mind. But a little not long ago, I

0:33:40.840 --> 0:33:43.200
<v Speaker 1>went to Texas for three days. I did this intensive

0:33:43.520 --> 0:33:46.240
<v Speaker 1>therapy and not just for that, but that was a

0:33:46.240 --> 0:33:49.480
<v Speaker 1>big part of it and opened up a lot of

0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:52.080
<v Speaker 1>stuff and I let myself feel things that I had

0:33:52.120 --> 0:33:54.920
<v Speaker 1>always been holding in because I like the type of

0:33:54.960 --> 0:33:58.120
<v Speaker 1>person that I guess I guess I feel like I

0:33:58.120 --> 0:34:00.400
<v Speaker 1>don't want people to pity me and I and I

0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:02.760
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be weak and like emotional, even though

0:34:02.760 --> 0:34:06.320
<v Speaker 1>I know that you know they say strong, I know

0:34:06.440 --> 0:34:09.000
<v Speaker 1>it is, but I just couldn't. I don't know. I

0:34:09.080 --> 0:34:11.319
<v Speaker 1>held so much in and I had a really bad

0:34:11.400 --> 0:34:14.880
<v Speaker 1>memory because of being hurt like a lot, even from

0:34:14.920 --> 0:34:17.280
<v Speaker 1>since when I was younger and not ever telling anybody

0:34:17.360 --> 0:34:19.600
<v Speaker 1>or working through it. So I did that me, I

0:34:19.680 --> 0:34:22.120
<v Speaker 1>did E M, D R. And UM have you have

0:34:22.280 --> 0:34:24.840
<v Speaker 1>you tried that or heard of it? It's it's amazing.

0:34:25.640 --> 0:34:28.720
<v Speaker 1>So I would recommend it for anybody because we all

0:34:28.760 --> 0:34:32.400
<v Speaker 1>are traumatized in some way. You you just can't help it. Um.

0:34:32.440 --> 0:34:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I had these buzzers in both my hands and it

0:34:35.120 --> 0:34:36.719
<v Speaker 1>sets off both sides of your brain. You have to

0:34:36.719 --> 0:34:39.360
<v Speaker 1>close your eyes, You get very relaxed, and your mind

0:34:39.440 --> 0:34:41.520
<v Speaker 1>will take you and not controlling it. Your mind will

0:34:41.560 --> 0:34:43.759
<v Speaker 1>take you where you kind of need to go to

0:34:43.840 --> 0:34:46.840
<v Speaker 1>like work things out, and it becomes a very symbolic

0:34:46.880 --> 0:34:49.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's it was like a story, and I'm telling

0:34:49.080 --> 0:34:52.479
<v Speaker 1>you I was. I was going into very very dark

0:34:52.560 --> 0:34:57.439
<v Speaker 1>places looking at it from a very different perspective, much

0:34:57.480 --> 0:35:00.680
<v Speaker 1>more rational, seeing it's not because now I can look

0:35:00.719 --> 0:35:02.319
<v Speaker 1>at it and see it wasn't the end of the world.

0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:04.279
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't the biggest thing ever, but it was a

0:35:04.320 --> 0:35:07.200
<v Speaker 1>big thing in my world. And I was quite literally

0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:12.279
<v Speaker 1>closing books. It's I couldn't even explain it. All I was,

0:35:13.160 --> 0:35:16.640
<v Speaker 1>what was it, twenty one hours of therapy. It's insane. Um.

0:35:16.640 --> 0:35:18.799
<v Speaker 1>But now when I think back to some of the

0:35:18.840 --> 0:35:21.840
<v Speaker 1>things that we worked through. My last memory is my

0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:24.360
<v Speaker 1>last memory in that therapy session, which was very positive,

0:35:24.400 --> 0:35:29.400
<v Speaker 1>which was me having control, me seeing like myself like

0:35:29.640 --> 0:35:31.719
<v Speaker 1>put out to the world as as I really am,

0:35:32.080 --> 0:35:34.319
<v Speaker 1>which is all that really matters, because how you feel

0:35:34.360 --> 0:35:36.200
<v Speaker 1>and how you see it's all in your head. It's

0:35:36.200 --> 0:35:39.000
<v Speaker 1>all just a perspective because of your experience. So like

0:35:39.040 --> 0:35:41.400
<v Speaker 1>what's important is what's in your mind and how you're

0:35:41.400 --> 0:35:43.279
<v Speaker 1>talking to yourself and how you feel about yourself. And

0:35:43.320 --> 0:35:46.280
<v Speaker 1>so it took me obviously years to get to that point,

0:35:46.320 --> 0:35:50.799
<v Speaker 1>but now my memories aren't either gone or terrible. Now

0:35:50.840 --> 0:35:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, okay, I can see it. I can see

0:35:54.960 --> 0:35:59.800
<v Speaker 1>just rashly like what happened and think through it. And now, um,

0:36:00.080 --> 0:36:05.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it was as huge or terrible as

0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was. It is terrible, but it's like

0:36:08.640 --> 0:36:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I think, things happen every day, you know, there's a

0:36:11.000 --> 0:36:13.200
<v Speaker 1>new scandal, a new article, a new person getting canceled

0:36:13.239 --> 0:36:16.560
<v Speaker 1>every day. Well, it's it's even trickier for you in

0:36:16.560 --> 0:36:19.000
<v Speaker 1>your situation because while it was happening to you in

0:36:19.040 --> 0:36:21.880
<v Speaker 1>real life, you were, like you said, you were told

0:36:21.920 --> 0:36:25.160
<v Speaker 1>not to talk about it so like you're associating these

0:36:25.200 --> 0:36:28.319
<v Speaker 1>memories with like having to kind of keep quiet about it.

0:36:28.320 --> 0:36:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I can only imagine like the mental torture that that

0:36:31.080 --> 0:36:33.279
<v Speaker 1>must have been, not only in the moment, but then

0:36:33.320 --> 0:36:35.920
<v Speaker 1>like you're saying now, like we're calling it years later.

0:36:36.320 --> 0:36:39.400
<v Speaker 1>It makes it more challenging because you weren't able to

0:36:39.440 --> 0:36:44.440
<v Speaker 1>explore outwardly so much about it, right, m Yeah, it

0:36:44.520 --> 0:36:46.520
<v Speaker 1>was too big for me at the time, and I would,

0:36:46.520 --> 0:36:49.160
<v Speaker 1>like I said, I was still like naive. I mean,

0:36:49.160 --> 0:36:51.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm still learning things now. I just feel a lot

0:36:51.480 --> 0:36:55.680
<v Speaker 1>more like mature and I could deal with it now

0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:58.680
<v Speaker 1>if it happened to me now I could. And also

0:36:58.800 --> 0:37:01.880
<v Speaker 1>but also I have this person because that's like nothing

0:37:01.920 --> 0:37:05.080
<v Speaker 1>worse can happen, Like because for a while, I'm always

0:37:05.120 --> 0:37:07.400
<v Speaker 1>like looking over my shoulder, like if somebody recording me, like,

0:37:07.440 --> 0:37:09.400
<v Speaker 1>am I gonna say something or slip up or do

0:37:09.640 --> 0:37:14.640
<v Speaker 1>something that's gonna be seen as wrong and then these

0:37:14.719 --> 0:37:16.520
<v Speaker 1>articles are gonna come out and I'm gonna get hurt

0:37:16.520 --> 0:37:19.399
<v Speaker 1>all over again. But now I'm like, not much worse

0:37:19.400 --> 0:37:21.799
<v Speaker 1>can happen than that, because that was one of my

0:37:22.120 --> 0:37:25.359
<v Speaker 1>biggest that was a fear and like something that I

0:37:25.400 --> 0:37:29.279
<v Speaker 1>think probably hurt me more than any other issue that

0:37:29.320 --> 0:37:33.359
<v Speaker 1>could have been made up about me UM. And I

0:37:33.440 --> 0:37:36.560
<v Speaker 1>think it also hurts that like a lot of people

0:37:36.600 --> 0:37:41.879
<v Speaker 1>knew that, like like the producers, Jordan's just the show

0:37:41.920 --> 0:37:44.239
<v Speaker 1>in general. They knew my story because you have to

0:37:44.280 --> 0:37:46.440
<v Speaker 1>tell them when you go on the show your They

0:37:46.560 --> 0:37:48.880
<v Speaker 1>want to know all your vulnerability, as your insecurities, what

0:37:48.960 --> 0:37:52.240
<v Speaker 1>you're scared of, because that's how you're manipulated. And and

0:37:52.280 --> 0:37:54.120
<v Speaker 1>again I get it, it's to show it's how it works.

0:37:54.640 --> 0:37:57.440
<v Speaker 1>So they all know this. And then and I think

0:37:57.480 --> 0:38:01.360
<v Speaker 1>they actually used that to have Jordan maybe telling me

0:38:01.400 --> 0:38:04.359
<v Speaker 1>certain things to make me fall right, because they know

0:38:04.520 --> 0:38:08.200
<v Speaker 1>what what would make me feel secure and loved UM

0:38:08.239 --> 0:38:09.719
<v Speaker 1>and they and they do know what would hurt and

0:38:09.800 --> 0:38:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I think they reached out to them, was like, I

0:38:12.120 --> 0:38:14.960
<v Speaker 1>have all this information to prove to you that it's

0:38:15.000 --> 0:38:17.000
<v Speaker 1>not true, even I know some people who are involved

0:38:17.000 --> 0:38:19.279
<v Speaker 1>in doing it. Is there anything you can do, like

0:38:19.320 --> 0:38:21.400
<v Speaker 1>to help me? And you know, they said there's not.

0:38:21.520 --> 0:38:26.240
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I think it was each time I spoke

0:38:27.200 --> 0:38:30.920
<v Speaker 1>out of contract UM and then they had their psychologists

0:38:31.200 --> 0:38:32.880
<v Speaker 1>call me and try to get me to admit that

0:38:32.920 --> 0:38:34.840
<v Speaker 1>I did it. And so it was just that was

0:38:34.920 --> 0:38:37.320
<v Speaker 1>hurtful too. Not that I think they owed me much,

0:38:38.120 --> 0:38:41.440
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know. It was pretty messed up. Yeah,

0:38:41.520 --> 0:38:44.239
<v Speaker 1>I think Jared will disagree with this. But one thing

0:38:44.560 --> 0:38:47.200
<v Speaker 1>that I've always said, well, one thing that I found

0:38:47.200 --> 0:38:52.480
<v Speaker 1>out later on, I guess because I did four four seasons.

0:38:52.520 --> 0:38:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Maybe by the fourth season, what I realized was that

0:38:54.680 --> 0:38:57.200
<v Speaker 1>the people making the show aren't your friends. They're there

0:38:57.239 --> 0:39:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to make a television show and a lot of contests

0:39:00.040 --> 0:39:03.200
<v Speaker 1>and get sucked into the trap of thinking that they're

0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:06.319
<v Speaker 1>they're friends with their best interests at heart, which some

0:39:06.440 --> 0:39:09.200
<v Speaker 1>of them. Sure, I know, I do think there are some,

0:39:09.440 --> 0:39:14.600
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, no, and same with me. It's like they're

0:39:14.719 --> 0:39:16.600
<v Speaker 1>there for and they're working, you know, like no, I'm

0:39:16.640 --> 0:39:18.520
<v Speaker 1>not like ragging on them at all. They're working, like

0:39:18.600 --> 0:39:22.280
<v Speaker 1>stir job, Yeah exactly. It just it stinks when you're

0:39:22.640 --> 0:39:24.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of like the butt of the joke in a

0:39:24.440 --> 0:39:28.319
<v Speaker 1>few ways of the word. But um, yeah, I don't know.

0:39:28.400 --> 0:39:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel for you. It's great to see you come

0:39:30.000 --> 0:39:33.520
<v Speaker 1>out the other side stronger and happier. Um, you know,

0:39:33.880 --> 0:39:35.719
<v Speaker 1>like like Jared and I were saying, we haven't met

0:39:35.800 --> 0:39:38.319
<v Speaker 1>you before this, but it's hard to imagine you being

0:39:38.320 --> 0:39:39.839
<v Speaker 1>happier than you are now because you seem like you're

0:39:39.880 --> 0:39:41.640
<v Speaker 1>on cloud nine with the kind of how everything is

0:39:41.760 --> 0:39:44.560
<v Speaker 1>panned out, and you know what, and that's even with

0:39:44.680 --> 0:39:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the this past year has been so hard, Like I

0:39:47.239 --> 0:39:50.680
<v Speaker 1>got really sick, like all kinds of issues going on.

0:39:50.680 --> 0:39:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I got like my breast and plants removed because I'm

0:39:52.600 --> 0:39:55.359
<v Speaker 1>pretty sure they were making me sick. I stopped doing anything. Yeah,

0:39:55.360 --> 0:39:58.040
<v Speaker 1>it was terrible. I didn't even know that was a thing.

0:39:58.160 --> 0:40:01.279
<v Speaker 1>And there's a whole, warm, whole community of women that

0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:03.520
<v Speaker 1>were just destroyed by that. There was. But I'm not

0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Claire Claire, Claire Crawley. She came out actually her doctor

0:40:10.360 --> 0:40:14.839
<v Speaker 1>did mine, like did my surgery. Um, yeah, it's it's

0:40:14.880 --> 0:40:16.600
<v Speaker 1>crazy that of course nobody wants to talk about it.

0:40:16.680 --> 0:40:18.799
<v Speaker 1>It's like a billion dollar industry, but the same or

0:40:18.880 --> 0:40:21.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe truly, I don't even know it's the same. I'm

0:40:21.000 --> 0:40:23.120
<v Speaker 1>not doing like filler botox any of that because I

0:40:23.200 --> 0:40:25.600
<v Speaker 1>figured out that like foreign things going to my body

0:40:25.600 --> 0:40:29.600
<v Speaker 1>were just not not doing good things. And so this

0:40:29.600 --> 0:40:33.520
<v Speaker 1>past year has been me just physically healing too from

0:40:33.520 --> 0:40:35.759
<v Speaker 1>all of that. But I think also getting over that.

0:40:35.800 --> 0:40:40.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm finally just like I feel, you know, I'm really

0:40:40.280 --> 0:40:43.239
<v Speaker 1>actually I'm ready to have another baby. I'm like, let's

0:40:43.239 --> 0:40:45.640
<v Speaker 1>just grow the family. I'm like so like happy and

0:40:46.719 --> 0:40:49.880
<v Speaker 1>got off my anxiety mids and like much more like holistic,

0:40:50.040 --> 0:40:54.400
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, it's really good. I do think there's a

0:40:54.480 --> 0:40:58.359
<v Speaker 1>movement towards that too, Like for whatever reason, and like

0:40:58.400 --> 0:41:01.439
<v Speaker 1>the two thousands twousands ten, there was a lot of

0:41:01.520 --> 0:41:06.000
<v Speaker 1>like emphasis and a spotlight on like modifications of like

0:41:06.040 --> 0:41:09.280
<v Speaker 1>lip fillers and implants and those types of things. Even Kaylin,

0:41:09.760 --> 0:41:12.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, she's been pageants her whole life, so she's

0:41:12.719 --> 0:41:14.120
<v Speaker 1>she's been into that for a long time. But just

0:41:14.200 --> 0:41:16.600
<v Speaker 1>last year she got like her lip fillers dissolved, and

0:41:17.280 --> 0:41:19.960
<v Speaker 1>she's taking a much more holistic approach to her like

0:41:20.040 --> 0:41:22.120
<v Speaker 1>beauty and appearance and health and all that kind of stuff.

0:41:22.120 --> 0:41:24.000
<v Speaker 1>So I think that's a good thing. I think if

0:41:24.000 --> 0:41:27.000
<v Speaker 1>we're moving towards that, it's good. Yeah. I did too,

0:41:27.040 --> 0:41:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I feel, And also I think it's very good for

0:41:29.560 --> 0:41:33.279
<v Speaker 1>us mentally because we're us now. You know. I felt

0:41:33.320 --> 0:41:35.200
<v Speaker 1>the exact same why when I came off the show,

0:41:35.280 --> 0:41:37.080
<v Speaker 1>was like all these people are looking at me, and

0:41:37.360 --> 0:41:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I would have injector say oh a little bit here

0:41:39.000 --> 0:41:41.040
<v Speaker 1>a little bit there, and I'm like, okay, yeah, make it,

0:41:41.200 --> 0:41:43.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, if it wanted to look good, like more

0:41:43.640 --> 0:41:46.680
<v Speaker 1>symmetrical and pictures and videos. But now I'm like to

0:41:46.760 --> 0:41:48.839
<v Speaker 1>be happy, like just being me. I'm like, oh hey,

0:41:48.880 --> 0:41:50.839
<v Speaker 1>this this is great. I'm not like blaching my hair

0:41:50.920 --> 0:41:53.480
<v Speaker 1>like I was. The pictures of me when I was

0:41:53.520 --> 0:41:56.160
<v Speaker 1>on the show and off the show were wild, like

0:41:58.040 --> 0:42:01.640
<v Speaker 1>I had eyebrows up to here, huge lips like super

0:42:01.640 --> 0:42:03.480
<v Speaker 1>white Keith bleached hair. I was like supertan, I'm like,

0:42:03.520 --> 0:42:07.520
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh, I'm a monster. But one no, actually

0:42:07.600 --> 0:42:10.960
<v Speaker 1>like and I do think that women look pretty with

0:42:11.120 --> 0:42:13.279
<v Speaker 1>and without too, Like there's nothing wrong with it. It's

0:42:13.280 --> 0:42:15.560
<v Speaker 1>just we start to look the same and then move

0:42:15.800 --> 0:42:19.640
<v Speaker 1>naturally with it. So I would love to see us.

0:42:19.640 --> 0:42:21.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say us with including myself, because I've done

0:42:21.800 --> 0:42:25.640
<v Speaker 1>all of it, like just accepting ourselves. Yeah, Kyle and

0:42:25.680 --> 0:42:28.279
<v Speaker 1>I we have a we have an ongoing dialogue about

0:42:28.320 --> 0:42:32.360
<v Speaker 1>that too, because I don't really care much about my appearance.

0:42:32.400 --> 0:42:35.839
<v Speaker 1>I used to quite a bit similar to you, but nowadays,

0:42:35.880 --> 0:42:38.319
<v Speaker 1>like if I take a picture and I look really

0:42:38.360 --> 0:42:40.120
<v Speaker 1>weird in it, and but Kylen looks really good and

0:42:40.160 --> 0:42:42.040
<v Speaker 1>She's like, can I post this? You you know, like,

0:42:42.080 --> 0:42:44.040
<v Speaker 1>are you okay with me posting this? And I was like, well, yeah,

0:42:44.040 --> 0:42:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's that's how I look, so I can't.

0:42:47.400 --> 0:42:49.600
<v Speaker 1>That's just how I look. So it is what it is, um,

0:42:49.680 --> 0:42:50.960
<v Speaker 1>And I think a lot of people are kind of

0:42:51.000 --> 0:42:52.799
<v Speaker 1>coming around to that way of thinking too, because it's

0:42:52.840 --> 0:42:54.400
<v Speaker 1>just like, it is what it is, you know, and

0:42:54.480 --> 0:42:58.120
<v Speaker 1>like people, well, you know you think people would bully

0:42:58.160 --> 0:43:00.439
<v Speaker 1>you for your appearance. I don't really think that as

0:43:00.480 --> 0:43:02.480
<v Speaker 1>prevalent as it used to be, because it's just like

0:43:02.520 --> 0:43:04.080
<v Speaker 1>that's just how we look and that's just who we are.

0:43:04.080 --> 0:43:06.319
<v Speaker 1>So it's like, how could you say anything negative about it?

0:43:06.360 --> 0:43:08.799
<v Speaker 1>You know? I know, and I feel the same I've

0:43:08.800 --> 0:43:12.520
<v Speaker 1>said so many times, like I literally think everybody is

0:43:12.640 --> 0:43:15.120
<v Speaker 1>beautiful in how different they are, like and I'm not

0:43:15.200 --> 0:43:17.839
<v Speaker 1>just saying that that is the fact that they're different,

0:43:17.880 --> 0:43:19.799
<v Speaker 1>the fact that something small or big or up or

0:43:19.800 --> 0:43:22.840
<v Speaker 1>down or what it's like, that actually is what's beautiful

0:43:22.840 --> 0:43:25.200
<v Speaker 1>about being the human. And so like I I wish

0:43:25.200 --> 0:43:26.680
<v Speaker 1>we weren't changing all the time, but do you know

0:43:26.680 --> 0:43:31.080
<v Speaker 1>what the media is, what controls what's popular, what's important,

0:43:31.200 --> 0:43:33.400
<v Speaker 1>what we should do and what and how can we

0:43:33.440 --> 0:43:35.399
<v Speaker 1>get away from that? Because we're scrolling on every day.

0:43:35.400 --> 0:43:37.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean that that's my job, So I'm like, of

0:43:37.800 --> 0:43:41.760
<v Speaker 1>course I'm on here, but yeah, I'm I am concerned

0:43:41.800 --> 0:43:44.080
<v Speaker 1>about with the younger generation and hopefully it does move

0:43:44.160 --> 0:43:47.120
<v Speaker 1>towards you know, natural it is in I would love

0:43:47.120 --> 0:43:48.840
<v Speaker 1>for them to do that, but that doesn't make money

0:43:48.920 --> 0:43:52.439
<v Speaker 1>for some people, so I don't know who that will happen. Yeah,

0:43:52.440 --> 0:43:55.520
<v Speaker 1>you two have a whole new arena to deal with

0:43:55.520 --> 0:43:57.839
<v Speaker 1>with your children and having to help them navigate through

0:43:57.840 --> 0:44:00.440
<v Speaker 1>the whole system too. It's like it was stuffing for us,

0:44:00.440 --> 0:44:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and I can only imagine it's gonna be so much

0:44:01.880 --> 0:44:03.719
<v Speaker 1>harder for the next generation to come up. You know,

0:44:04.320 --> 0:44:07.040
<v Speaker 1>m I really feel free to let me know if

0:44:07.040 --> 0:44:08.759
<v Speaker 1>he has to have any advice. Do not know what

0:44:08.800 --> 0:44:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to do? Like Pressly has an account. I made it

0:44:10.680 --> 0:44:12.600
<v Speaker 1>when she was born. Don't ever want to give it

0:44:12.640 --> 0:44:14.760
<v Speaker 1>to her. Maybe I'll wait until she's eighteen or something.

0:44:14.800 --> 0:44:17.120
<v Speaker 1>And I do have photos of her on there because

0:44:17.120 --> 0:44:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I go back and forth. You either do it or

0:44:19.120 --> 0:44:21.000
<v Speaker 1>you don't, Like you don't have to do like ads

0:44:21.000 --> 0:44:23.600
<v Speaker 1>and stuff. But it's like you're either going to show

0:44:23.640 --> 0:44:25.880
<v Speaker 1>your child's face or like who they are, or you

0:44:25.960 --> 0:44:29.319
<v Speaker 1>just totally have to spend forever trying to hide them.

0:44:29.600 --> 0:44:33.160
<v Speaker 1>And I also I love that I have this basically

0:44:33.400 --> 0:44:36.520
<v Speaker 1>video diary of her life online like for her. She

0:44:36.600 --> 0:44:38.799
<v Speaker 1>loves it, she loves watching videos of herself. But when

0:44:38.800 --> 0:44:40.880
<v Speaker 1>she gets older, I don't know what to do. Maybe

0:44:40.880 --> 0:44:44.000
<v Speaker 1>we change a lot by then. Honestly, maybe we'll all

0:44:44.040 --> 0:44:46.880
<v Speaker 1>be like holograms and it'll be like you know that

0:44:46.920 --> 0:44:49.600
<v Speaker 1>creepy like metaverse every we won't have Instagram anymore. I

0:44:49.600 --> 0:44:53.719
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Probably definitely evolving, so we'll see. Yeah, I

0:44:53.719 --> 0:44:55.719
<v Speaker 1>mean soon we're never going to leave the house. I

0:44:55.719 --> 0:44:57.399
<v Speaker 1>was just talking to my buddy about building a golf

0:44:57.440 --> 0:45:00.719
<v Speaker 1>simulator and you can play golf with your friend in

0:45:00.760 --> 0:45:04.040
<v Speaker 1>another state. At of course that's like hundreds of miles away.

0:45:04.080 --> 0:45:05.759
<v Speaker 1>I assume we never got to leave our house with

0:45:05.760 --> 0:45:08.279
<v Speaker 1>all the delivery services and stuff, so I do think

0:45:08.280 --> 0:45:11.000
<v Speaker 1>we're transitioning more towards that. Um. Well, Jenna, thank you

0:45:11.040 --> 0:45:13.480
<v Speaker 1>so much for joining us. We appreciate your candidness and

0:45:13.480 --> 0:45:16.760
<v Speaker 1>your candy. I don't even know it all. I said

0:45:16.800 --> 0:45:19.719
<v Speaker 1>that was just a lot, so you completely knocked it

0:45:19.719 --> 0:45:21.640
<v Speaker 1>out of the park. So we're really grateful to have

0:45:21.719 --> 0:45:24.120
<v Speaker 1>you on. We're just gonna take one quick commercial break,

0:45:24.200 --> 0:45:37.560
<v Speaker 1>but we'll be right back with our callers. First up,

0:45:37.600 --> 0:45:42.640
<v Speaker 1>we have Corey calling in. Corey, are you there? Yes, Hey,

0:45:42.960 --> 0:45:47.840
<v Speaker 1>are good? Thank you good good? What's going on in

0:45:47.880 --> 0:45:52.560
<v Speaker 1>your life? How can we help you? Um? Well, I

0:45:52.640 --> 0:45:56.759
<v Speaker 1>liked a girl's photo on Instagram and my girlfriend got

0:45:56.800 --> 0:46:00.480
<v Speaker 1>really piste off of me. Mm hmm, well pretty straight

0:46:00.520 --> 0:46:05.000
<v Speaker 1>to the point on that, straight for work. So what like, um, okay, so,

0:46:05.080 --> 0:46:08.800
<v Speaker 1>like a few months ago, a friend of mine instagram photos.

0:46:08.800 --> 0:46:12.600
<v Speaker 1>She was in a bikini. Um, but it was it

0:46:12.719 --> 0:46:15.560
<v Speaker 1>was like a friend, but I understand why my girlfriend

0:46:15.600 --> 0:46:19.600
<v Speaker 1>might get pissed. So she had me like, real any

0:46:19.680 --> 0:46:25.280
<v Speaker 1>photos of girls like like I was friends with? Yeah,

0:46:25.320 --> 0:46:28.960
<v Speaker 1>well so so Jared. Jared and I have a similar

0:46:29.000 --> 0:46:33.279
<v Speaker 1>stance on this when it comes to like scrolling through Instagram.

0:46:33.400 --> 0:46:38.000
<v Speaker 1>We agree that there's really no practical value to ever

0:46:38.280 --> 0:46:42.200
<v Speaker 1>like a girl's picture that's not the girl you're dating,

0:46:42.320 --> 0:46:45.920
<v Speaker 1>unless it's like, you know, us whatever. Especially bikini photos.

0:46:45.960 --> 0:46:48.439
<v Speaker 1>I think is maybe the emphasis here, like there's no

0:46:48.719 --> 0:46:51.640
<v Speaker 1>self serving purpose for a guy to do that, So

0:46:51.680 --> 0:46:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I could see why the girlfriend was maybe upset. But

0:46:55.080 --> 0:46:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I think in my opinion, in my experience, there's no

0:46:59.320 --> 0:47:01.359
<v Speaker 1>no double tap thing ever when it comes to a girl,

0:47:01.480 --> 0:47:03.520
<v Speaker 1>especially in a bikini, because all it's gonna do is

0:47:03.600 --> 0:47:05.239
<v Speaker 1>lead you to trouble and it's not going to do

0:47:05.280 --> 0:47:08.640
<v Speaker 1>anything positive for you at all, like zero zero positive

0:47:08.840 --> 0:47:12.319
<v Speaker 1>potential negative, So stay away from it. Even if it

0:47:12.400 --> 0:47:17.600
<v Speaker 1>was like a girl I went to high school. Yeah,

0:47:17.600 --> 0:47:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I know. I'm like, this is so interesting because this

0:47:21.440 --> 0:47:24.399
<v Speaker 1>has happened with me before, and I want to say

0:47:24.440 --> 0:47:28.800
<v Speaker 1>that I actually I understand your point of view because

0:47:28.840 --> 0:47:32.520
<v Speaker 1>it's been like explained to me. Um, they'll say, it's

0:47:32.520 --> 0:47:35.120
<v Speaker 1>not a big deal. We've been friends since we were five, Like,

0:47:35.200 --> 0:47:37.680
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't matter. You know. It looked like a fun vacation.

0:47:37.719 --> 0:47:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I liked it. And the thing is is like sometimes

0:47:39.640 --> 0:47:42.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it always it always has a negative

0:47:42.960 --> 0:47:46.799
<v Speaker 1>meeting behind it. However, I think the most important thing

0:47:46.960 --> 0:47:50.160
<v Speaker 1>is like how it looks from the outside, in the

0:47:50.200 --> 0:47:52.960
<v Speaker 1>way that I explained it, Like my husband is, I'm like, Okay, well,

0:47:53.040 --> 0:47:55.319
<v Speaker 1>it's not everybody's job, but it's it's my job on here.

0:47:55.360 --> 0:47:59.960
<v Speaker 1>So imagine just imagine me going into your workspace. It's public, public,

0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:03.040
<v Speaker 1>like everybody's in there working and I see this man

0:48:03.080 --> 0:48:04.279
<v Speaker 1>in there, and you know what, he's got these like

0:48:04.360 --> 0:48:06.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of tight work pants on. I just kind of

0:48:06.200 --> 0:48:07.719
<v Speaker 1>double tap his button, like I kind of like that,

0:48:08.280 --> 0:48:11.120
<v Speaker 1>like not and like you know, and like I wouldn't cheat,

0:48:11.200 --> 0:48:14.879
<v Speaker 1>Like it's I'm just saying, and like hopefully he likes

0:48:14.960 --> 0:48:17.680
<v Speaker 1>that I like it. Imagine he's thinking, oh no, no,

0:48:17.680 --> 0:48:19.560
<v Speaker 1>no no, And I know it's not the same, but

0:48:19.600 --> 0:48:23.680
<v Speaker 1>to just imagine, like it's just everybody can see what

0:48:23.800 --> 0:48:26.480
<v Speaker 1>you're liking, and nobody wants to be like, yeah, my

0:48:26.560 --> 0:48:28.319
<v Speaker 1>guy is like and that even if you're just at

0:48:28.400 --> 0:48:30.800
<v Speaker 1>a restaurant, he's looking around because you know what it happens,

0:48:30.800 --> 0:48:32.600
<v Speaker 1>nobody wants to be the girl that's sitting there while

0:48:32.600 --> 0:48:35.040
<v Speaker 1>he's looking around and liking other things. And so I

0:48:35.040 --> 0:48:37.360
<v Speaker 1>think it's more just the way that it looks. And

0:48:37.400 --> 0:48:40.360
<v Speaker 1>then I think sometimes we wonder, well, what was the

0:48:40.400 --> 0:48:43.799
<v Speaker 1>reason behind that. Did you just need some attention, you know,

0:48:43.920 --> 0:48:45.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe from a felon, did you want her to be

0:48:45.920 --> 0:48:48.759
<v Speaker 1>happy that you let that pose? And if it was

0:48:48.960 --> 0:48:51.279
<v Speaker 1>just a total honestly, I like you, like, I think

0:48:51.280 --> 0:48:53.520
<v Speaker 1>you can like it without clicking, like and if you

0:48:53.840 --> 0:48:55.759
<v Speaker 1>miss that maybe it's been a while, you can say,

0:48:56.000 --> 0:48:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how the messaging goes in your relationship,

0:48:58.000 --> 0:49:00.200
<v Speaker 1>but you know, I hope you're doing well to you that.

0:49:00.360 --> 0:49:02.640
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know, maybe not on a bikini picture,

0:49:02.680 --> 0:49:05.480
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think everybody should every female should be

0:49:05.560 --> 0:49:08.759
<v Speaker 1>cut out. Definitely not, But it's just I think it

0:49:08.800 --> 0:49:10.920
<v Speaker 1>just matters, like how it looks, and so you just

0:49:10.960 --> 0:49:13.280
<v Speaker 1>want to keep you want to keep your woman feeling

0:49:13.320 --> 0:49:16.040
<v Speaker 1>like secure and happy and everybody knows you know, she's

0:49:16.040 --> 0:49:19.000
<v Speaker 1>your one, and so it is a hard thing to

0:49:19.120 --> 0:49:23.080
<v Speaker 1>navigate though. I was told once by a boyfriend who

0:49:23.160 --> 0:49:25.800
<v Speaker 1>got very very mad at me for liking a boy Soto,

0:49:25.840 --> 0:49:29.760
<v Speaker 1>which is, you know, total opposite, and he said, um,

0:49:29.800 --> 0:49:32.560
<v Speaker 1>there is always oh my gosh, I can't remember some

0:49:33.400 --> 0:49:36.719
<v Speaker 1>bad conversation, but there's always a reason behind why you

0:49:36.760 --> 0:49:39.919
<v Speaker 1>did that. You expected something to come from that. And

0:49:40.640 --> 0:49:43.360
<v Speaker 1>he called it signaling, That's what he called it. And

0:49:43.560 --> 0:49:46.880
<v Speaker 1>he was so mad, and so I was like, Okay, well, sorry,

0:49:47.040 --> 0:49:49.719
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know, like I didn't have these bad intentions,

0:49:49.880 --> 0:49:52.520
<v Speaker 1>and I don't think everybody does. But that is that

0:49:52.640 --> 0:49:54.640
<v Speaker 1>is hard. But I think the most important thing is

0:49:54.960 --> 0:49:57.759
<v Speaker 1>to keep her happy. Because you know, that's that's your person,

0:49:57.760 --> 0:49:59.279
<v Speaker 1>that's who you love. You want her happy, you want

0:49:59.280 --> 0:50:02.080
<v Speaker 1>your relationship to be good. So is it worth it

0:50:02.440 --> 0:50:05.800
<v Speaker 1>to let your friend know that you liked her bikini

0:50:05.840 --> 0:50:09.399
<v Speaker 1>picture or her even just to keep picture, um, rather

0:50:09.440 --> 0:50:12.520
<v Speaker 1>than just avoiding clicking life? That was a long It's no,

0:50:12.640 --> 0:50:14.399
<v Speaker 1>that was great. That was really good. I think it's

0:50:14.440 --> 0:50:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the first step in a very small one at that,

0:50:17.640 --> 0:50:21.080
<v Speaker 1>but a very small step in making a potentially bad decision.

0:50:21.200 --> 0:50:23.319
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's kind of what like, there's no

0:50:23.360 --> 0:50:26.440
<v Speaker 1>need to open up that potential can of worms, so

0:50:26.560 --> 0:50:28.840
<v Speaker 1>just don't double click. That's so. So it sounds like

0:50:28.920 --> 0:50:31.759
<v Speaker 1>Jenner are kind of an agreement on that, um, but

0:50:31.960 --> 0:50:38.759
<v Speaker 1>hopefully there's any like compromise. Corey like, you know, well, um,

0:50:38.760 --> 0:50:41.800
<v Speaker 1>she told me she thought it was emotionally like cheating,

0:50:41.960 --> 0:50:44.000
<v Speaker 1>but I was just being supportive of a friend. So

0:50:44.040 --> 0:50:46.520
<v Speaker 1>I just I just like David thumbs up, just to

0:50:46.600 --> 0:50:50.040
<v Speaker 1>be like, you know, body positivity kind of thing. That

0:50:50.040 --> 0:50:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I didn't mean. I wasn't doing it to be like

0:50:53.000 --> 0:50:55.359
<v Speaker 1>get my girlfriend or anything. It was just yeah, yeah,

0:50:56.040 --> 0:50:59.200
<v Speaker 1>like high school friend of mine is like working out,

0:50:59.280 --> 0:51:01.560
<v Speaker 1>working out, and she looked great, So I was just

0:51:01.560 --> 0:51:04.760
<v Speaker 1>being supportive as a friend. But I could definitely see

0:51:05.360 --> 0:51:08.480
<v Speaker 1>why my girlfriend would get mad because it she was

0:51:08.520 --> 0:51:12.080
<v Speaker 1>like a dude and like a you know, six packet. Yeah,

0:51:12.239 --> 0:51:17.359
<v Speaker 1>like nice nice abs. Yeah, I could definitely see it.

0:51:17.400 --> 0:51:19.400
<v Speaker 1>But I was just trying to be supportive. But you know,

0:51:20.040 --> 0:51:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know what, I think the most important

0:51:21.600 --> 0:51:23.040
<v Speaker 1>thing is to make sure you try to get that

0:51:23.160 --> 0:51:26.200
<v Speaker 1>across to her, like it sounds like it sounds like

0:51:26.239 --> 0:51:29.320
<v Speaker 1>you are at least at least you are exploiting yourself,

0:51:29.400 --> 0:51:31.200
<v Speaker 1>and you know it sounds like you you want her

0:51:31.239 --> 0:51:33.359
<v Speaker 1>to be happy, so I think it'll be okay. But yeah,

0:51:33.360 --> 0:51:34.880
<v Speaker 1>it's just one of those things, like things that just

0:51:34.920 --> 0:51:39.400
<v Speaker 1>probably avoid because it's never worked. Like yeah, but but

0:51:39.480 --> 0:51:41.520
<v Speaker 1>best of luck, Corey. Thanks for calling and we appreciate it.

0:51:41.560 --> 0:51:45.120
<v Speaker 1>We hope you get figured out. Yep, thank you for

0:51:45.160 --> 0:51:47.759
<v Speaker 1>taking time to talk to me. Yeah, of course, thank you.

0:51:47.800 --> 0:51:50.359
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. By um no, that was good. I think

0:51:50.360 --> 0:51:53.480
<v Speaker 1>the long wounded answers are very helpful. I know I talk,

0:51:53.600 --> 0:51:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I know I talked so much. I was like, this question,

0:51:55.840 --> 0:51:57.600
<v Speaker 1>make me you know what, I will say, Like a

0:51:57.600 --> 0:51:59.239
<v Speaker 1>lot of people don't want to talk about it, but

0:51:59.320 --> 0:52:02.879
<v Speaker 1>it is a big thing in relationships because it's so

0:52:03.080 --> 0:52:05.720
<v Speaker 1>huge and it's so public, and it's kind of sometimes

0:52:05.760 --> 0:52:08.520
<v Speaker 1>you're like, well, what what was the point of that? Really?

0:52:08.600 --> 0:52:11.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean of the like especially right, But it's it's

0:52:11.440 --> 0:52:13.680
<v Speaker 1>your same point too. I sometimes I'm talking and I

0:52:13.840 --> 0:52:15.960
<v Speaker 1>like I'm starting, like after going on for a while,

0:52:15.960 --> 0:52:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I've been talking for like five minutes, and

0:52:17.520 --> 0:52:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea what I just did. I just

0:52:20.040 --> 0:52:21.960
<v Speaker 1>want to say I have like, I just have a

0:52:21.960 --> 0:52:23.960
<v Speaker 1>two year old like home, and everybody's gone all day.

0:52:24.000 --> 0:52:29.759
<v Speaker 1>So when an adult is around, conversation, all right, So

0:52:29.840 --> 0:52:32.000
<v Speaker 1>next up, Next up, we have Todd calling us Todd,

0:52:32.000 --> 0:52:35.640
<v Speaker 1>are you there? Yeah, I'm here, Hey, how are you?

0:52:35.680 --> 0:52:38.960
<v Speaker 1>And what's going on today? How can we help you? Hey? Um?

0:52:39.040 --> 0:52:42.759
<v Speaker 1>So I have a little dilemma. Um, I've just seed

0:52:42.880 --> 0:52:46.160
<v Speaker 1>some help. So I've been with my girlfriend for about

0:52:46.160 --> 0:52:50.160
<v Speaker 1>a year and a half and I know that she's

0:52:50.160 --> 0:52:52.799
<v Speaker 1>had a relationship with a man in the past, but

0:52:53.400 --> 0:52:57.839
<v Speaker 1>she doesn't know that I know. No. Yeah. Um so

0:52:58.040 --> 0:53:00.480
<v Speaker 1>we got on the topic of like very people cheating,

0:53:00.680 --> 0:53:02.279
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I asked her if she had ever

0:53:02.320 --> 0:53:05.799
<v Speaker 1>been the side chick, and she said no, but I

0:53:05.840 --> 0:53:11.080
<v Speaker 1>know that she's been that, but um moving forward, you know,

0:53:11.160 --> 0:53:13.960
<v Speaker 1>like we just we have been together for quite a time.

0:53:14.080 --> 0:53:17.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, we both have kids from previous relationships and

0:53:17.719 --> 0:53:21.839
<v Speaker 1>they've been you know, become we become a family. And

0:53:22.160 --> 0:53:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I just don't I don't know what to feel right

0:53:24.040 --> 0:53:26.080
<v Speaker 1>now because she's lying about something that she did in

0:53:26.080 --> 0:53:28.440
<v Speaker 1>the past and she doesn't think it's okay. But I

0:53:28.480 --> 0:53:31.239
<v Speaker 1>know that she did that, So I just I don't

0:53:31.280 --> 0:53:32.880
<v Speaker 1>want that happened to me in the future. So what

0:53:32.920 --> 0:53:35.960
<v Speaker 1>do you think, right? So, she so you're worried because

0:53:35.960 --> 0:53:38.160
<v Speaker 1>she kind of flat out lied to you and you

0:53:38.200 --> 0:53:42.480
<v Speaker 1>know the truth. Yeah, yeah, that's tough. Well, Jared, what

0:53:42.480 --> 0:53:45.960
<v Speaker 1>do you think? Well? Hello, sorry, I had some technical issues.

0:53:46.000 --> 0:53:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I got booted off the internet there. But with this,

0:53:49.440 --> 0:53:53.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, are you a hundred percent sure that she's

0:53:53.760 --> 0:53:57.880
<v Speaker 1>not telling the truth, because what if you're mistaken? I

0:53:57.880 --> 0:54:00.480
<v Speaker 1>mean I know from her best friend. I mean I

0:54:00.520 --> 0:54:02.879
<v Speaker 1>don't know why her best friend would have told me that.

0:54:03.040 --> 0:54:05.239
<v Speaker 1>You know, this is like when we first met that

0:54:05.480 --> 0:54:09.239
<v Speaker 1>she said that you know, she's been with that guy.

0:54:09.840 --> 0:54:14.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's why she's a lot of I know, well,

0:54:14.320 --> 0:54:16.719
<v Speaker 1>you know it was she was just saying that she

0:54:16.800 --> 0:54:19.719
<v Speaker 1>had been with a married man before, and I just

0:54:19.760 --> 0:54:21.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of blew it off because I you know, I

0:54:21.880 --> 0:54:24.120
<v Speaker 1>do love her. I really liked her at the moment,

0:54:24.160 --> 0:54:28.399
<v Speaker 1>and we became really close and became a family. But

0:54:28.719 --> 0:54:31.000
<v Speaker 1>when we brought we got into the conversation about married

0:54:31.040 --> 0:54:34.080
<v Speaker 1>people and cheating and stuff. She just said, you know, no,

0:54:34.960 --> 0:54:37.720
<v Speaker 1>I think it's stupid. I think it's messed up, and

0:54:38.840 --> 0:54:41.359
<v Speaker 1>I maybe I need to have a conversation with her

0:54:41.400 --> 0:54:45.520
<v Speaker 1>friends see if it's actually true. I would have a

0:54:45.520 --> 0:54:48.400
<v Speaker 1>conversation with her and just say, listen, this is what

0:54:48.440 --> 0:54:51.759
<v Speaker 1>I heard, Like how true is It's just I mean,

0:54:51.760 --> 0:54:53.200
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have to throw the best friend under the

0:54:53.200 --> 0:54:55.239
<v Speaker 1>bus a little bit. I know that sucks, but if

0:54:55.239 --> 0:54:57.040
<v Speaker 1>it's bothering you this much, you're gonna just have to

0:54:57.640 --> 0:54:59.080
<v Speaker 1>talk to her about it and be like, hey, listen,

0:54:59.360 --> 0:55:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I know this is gonna sound stupid, but this is

0:55:00.880 --> 0:55:02.200
<v Speaker 1>what I heard a long time ago. And then you

0:55:02.239 --> 0:55:03.680
<v Speaker 1>said you've never been but I just want to kind

0:55:03.680 --> 0:55:06.839
<v Speaker 1>of like, you know, just know what happened. That's all. Yeah,

0:55:07.000 --> 0:55:09.759
<v Speaker 1>that's good advice. Let it for sure. Can I say

0:55:09.760 --> 0:55:11.239
<v Speaker 1>to you? Can I say to you just little things

0:55:11.360 --> 0:55:15.520
<v Speaker 1>might are really quick. I would say one thing is

0:55:16.760 --> 0:55:19.920
<v Speaker 1>in her in her defense, just because we don't even

0:55:19.960 --> 0:55:23.600
<v Speaker 1>know the whole story. Um, maybe she didn't know initially

0:55:23.719 --> 0:55:26.759
<v Speaker 1>or something. Maybe maybe because Mary men can be can

0:55:26.920 --> 0:55:29.360
<v Speaker 1>do that can be very charming and not admit that

0:55:29.400 --> 0:55:32.839
<v Speaker 1>they're married. And then um too, maybe in her mind,

0:55:32.880 --> 0:55:34.840
<v Speaker 1>her perspective, she wasn't a side because it was just

0:55:34.920 --> 0:55:36.600
<v Speaker 1>this guy she met and then maybe she found out

0:55:36.640 --> 0:55:38.640
<v Speaker 1>and that's where they broke up. But who knows the

0:55:38.680 --> 0:55:41.560
<v Speaker 1>other side of it? As you asking her about that

0:55:41.640 --> 0:55:44.120
<v Speaker 1>and knowing what you know, it's a little bit also

0:55:44.160 --> 0:55:48.000
<v Speaker 1>dishonest on your side, like not not saying you know that.

0:55:48.239 --> 0:55:50.400
<v Speaker 1>So I think maybe there's a little bit of dishonesty

0:55:50.440 --> 0:55:52.399
<v Speaker 1>from both of you and maybe just like coming clean,

0:55:52.520 --> 0:55:54.680
<v Speaker 1>like talking through it, Like I think it could be

0:55:55.120 --> 0:55:57.560
<v Speaker 1>so good in like kind of healing for you to

0:55:57.680 --> 0:55:59.879
<v Speaker 1>like just just talk through it instead of holding onto

0:56:00.000 --> 0:56:02.759
<v Speaker 1>it this whole time. Because I bet there is I

0:56:02.840 --> 0:56:05.160
<v Speaker 1>bet there's a lot more that maybe maybe you don't

0:56:05.160 --> 0:56:07.719
<v Speaker 1>know and maybe it was just a perspective thing. And also, yeah,

0:56:07.719 --> 0:56:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't get why her friend would would well. And

0:56:10.640 --> 0:56:12.560
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to say that I wear my heart of

0:56:12.560 --> 0:56:15.360
<v Speaker 1>my sleeve, you know. It just when it came up

0:56:15.400 --> 0:56:19.799
<v Speaker 1>in conversation, she said, you know, she said, she's never

0:56:19.840 --> 0:56:22.960
<v Speaker 1>done that, but I think I know, so I apparent

0:56:23.040 --> 0:56:24.879
<v Speaker 1>you need to have a little hard to heart. Yeah,

0:56:25.360 --> 0:56:29.520
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be tough, but that's the us. Yeah. I

0:56:29.520 --> 0:56:32.080
<v Speaker 1>think that's a good point that Jenna made. Is uh,

0:56:32.360 --> 0:56:34.200
<v Speaker 1>it does kind of stuck to hear because you feel

0:56:34.239 --> 0:56:36.840
<v Speaker 1>like you're the one being slighted. But she's right because

0:56:37.239 --> 0:56:40.239
<v Speaker 1>if you kind of withheld that information that you might

0:56:40.239 --> 0:56:42.640
<v Speaker 1>know something that is kind of a lie by a

0:56:42.680 --> 0:56:45.439
<v Speaker 1>mission on your part. And I would say it's maybe

0:56:45.440 --> 0:56:47.400
<v Speaker 1>like a lesser of a lie if if that is

0:56:47.440 --> 0:56:51.440
<v Speaker 1>the truth, but it is still a bit of dishonesty.

0:56:51.520 --> 0:56:53.640
<v Speaker 1>So so yeah, I would agree with everyone. I would

0:56:53.640 --> 0:56:55.080
<v Speaker 1>say the best thing you can do is have a

0:56:55.080 --> 0:56:57.480
<v Speaker 1>conversation with her about it and just like approach it

0:56:57.520 --> 0:57:02.080
<v Speaker 1>gently and don't speak in like definitive terms or no

0:57:02.160 --> 0:57:03.839
<v Speaker 1>matter of fact. We just kind of like be more

0:57:04.160 --> 0:57:06.319
<v Speaker 1>inquisitive and then get the best answer that you can

0:57:06.320 --> 0:57:07.880
<v Speaker 1>out of her and hopefully you know that's what you

0:57:07.880 --> 0:57:13.439
<v Speaker 1>want to hear. Yeah, I think thanks, Okay, also appreciate Yeah,

0:57:13.480 --> 0:57:15.279
<v Speaker 1>thanks for calling him. We appreciate it. Best to luck

0:57:15.520 --> 0:57:32.680
<v Speaker 1>and uh yeah, take care alright, thanks to holidays, Lizzie. Hi,

0:57:32.720 --> 0:57:36.520
<v Speaker 1>how are you hello? Hello? How are you? Thank you

0:57:36.560 --> 0:57:40.240
<v Speaker 1>for joining us? How can we help you today? Um? Well,

0:57:40.560 --> 0:57:44.600
<v Speaker 1>my supervisor he sends me text with like kissie emojis

0:57:44.720 --> 0:57:49.280
<v Speaker 1>in it. Um. He also compliments you regularly or like

0:57:49.360 --> 0:57:53.680
<v Speaker 1>makes comments on my looks. Um. Yeah, like for example,

0:57:53.840 --> 0:57:57.760
<v Speaker 1>oh you need to look through your long lashes, you know. Um.

0:57:57.880 --> 0:58:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Then he also touched many two times of one time

0:58:01.160 --> 0:58:04.720
<v Speaker 1>in public and one time in private. Um. But I

0:58:04.760 --> 0:58:06.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I'm just like making things up in

0:58:06.880 --> 0:58:11.200
<v Speaker 1>my head or like this is just really inappropriate. Um. Also,

0:58:11.240 --> 0:58:13.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm like his only female trainee like the rest of males,

0:58:14.720 --> 0:58:16.720
<v Speaker 1>So I just think maybe it's he just doesn't know

0:58:16.760 --> 0:58:20.200
<v Speaker 1>how to interact with women in the workplace. Yeah, it

0:58:20.320 --> 0:58:23.160
<v Speaker 1>sounds it sounds inappropriate to me, just based off of

0:58:23.200 --> 0:58:27.200
<v Speaker 1>those two things he said. I I have for some reason,

0:58:27.320 --> 0:58:29.560
<v Speaker 1>it always pops up on my Reddit page, the anti

0:58:29.600 --> 0:58:33.400
<v Speaker 1>work subreddit, and it always talks about how it's not

0:58:33.440 --> 0:58:36.480
<v Speaker 1>a bad thing to have like friendly relationships with your supervisors,

0:58:36.640 --> 0:58:39.880
<v Speaker 1>but a lot of times the leverage they're like positive

0:58:39.920 --> 0:58:41.920
<v Speaker 1>relationship with you to get more work out of you.

0:58:41.960 --> 0:58:43.960
<v Speaker 1>In certain ways. And I'm not saying that's what he's

0:58:44.000 --> 0:58:45.760
<v Speaker 1>doing here. It sounds like he might be like, you know,

0:58:45.800 --> 0:58:48.600
<v Speaker 1>more flirtatious that it needs to be. But that's definitely

0:58:48.600 --> 0:58:51.600
<v Speaker 1>something in my opinion, like if it were happening to me,

0:58:51.960 --> 0:58:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I would want to put a stop to it as

0:58:53.600 --> 0:58:55.919
<v Speaker 1>soon as possible. And it is like a tricky field

0:58:55.960 --> 0:59:00.240
<v Speaker 1>to navigate. Um, but what what Jena, and what do

0:59:00.320 --> 0:59:03.560
<v Speaker 1>you guys think? Well, so I actually had this happen

0:59:03.720 --> 0:59:07.720
<v Speaker 1>like multiple times with different the different bosses, and there

0:59:08.400 --> 0:59:11.400
<v Speaker 1>the problem is, is there really actually not a good

0:59:12.120 --> 0:59:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't have the perfect answer for it because it

0:59:14.520 --> 0:59:17.560
<v Speaker 1>also depends like just on the person and how they respond,

0:59:17.720 --> 0:59:20.280
<v Speaker 1>like just what your situation is. So I've had one

0:59:20.920 --> 0:59:25.280
<v Speaker 1>that I just kind of ignored it for a long time,

0:59:25.320 --> 0:59:27.080
<v Speaker 1>is kind of let it go, and it actually became

0:59:27.160 --> 0:59:31.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of, um, kind of like an abusive relationship. If

0:59:31.520 --> 0:59:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I was nice to him, I would get like you'd

0:59:34.640 --> 0:59:37.840
<v Speaker 1>give me like good projects that day and be generally

0:59:37.880 --> 0:59:41.920
<v Speaker 1>like nice. And if I was not, he would give me, um,

0:59:42.160 --> 0:59:45.680
<v Speaker 1>just just awful, awful job and say I have you

0:59:45.720 --> 0:59:47.560
<v Speaker 1>know I have the power to fire you, and he

0:59:47.600 --> 0:59:49.600
<v Speaker 1>would start making me warm up his food and he

0:59:49.600 --> 0:59:51.560
<v Speaker 1>would start touching me and he would be like, you

0:59:51.560 --> 0:59:54.240
<v Speaker 1>need to stay after work and do It was kind

0:59:54.280 --> 0:59:56.200
<v Speaker 1>of it was like in a gym atmosphere, so you

0:59:56.240 --> 0:59:58.240
<v Speaker 1>could say you need to do my workout as like

0:59:58.320 --> 1:00:00.520
<v Speaker 1>part of the team thing, and he would and too

1:00:00.520 --> 1:00:02.640
<v Speaker 1>close and just do and it was it was bad.

1:00:02.680 --> 1:00:04.520
<v Speaker 1>But do you know what. It took me a long

1:00:04.560 --> 1:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>time and I finally I finally reported it. A lot

1:00:08.560 --> 1:00:12.520
<v Speaker 1>got fired. So that was not a good it was.

1:00:12.600 --> 1:00:14.959
<v Speaker 1>It was just it was a bad situation and maybe

1:00:14.960 --> 1:00:17.680
<v Speaker 1>it could have been avoided if I would have said

1:00:17.760 --> 1:00:20.840
<v Speaker 1>something more directly to him before. But I was always

1:00:20.880 --> 1:00:23.960
<v Speaker 1>too scared. I needed the job, and I didn't. I

1:00:24.000 --> 1:00:25.640
<v Speaker 1>thought the same thing. I'm like, am I kind of

1:00:25.680 --> 1:00:27.200
<v Speaker 1>like is it not as big of a deal? My

1:00:27.320 --> 1:00:30.840
<v Speaker 1>just creating this, my being dramatic. But I want to say,

1:00:30.840 --> 1:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I think the best thing to do would be to

1:00:33.320 --> 1:00:36.400
<v Speaker 1>be very directed, like not me, but like standing up

1:00:36.400 --> 1:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>for yourself and to literally I mean, I think for

1:00:38.560 --> 1:00:40.640
<v Speaker 1>like a man, you have to say it in play

1:00:40.640 --> 1:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>in terms that's not that's not really appropriate. I want

1:00:43.600 --> 1:00:48.840
<v Speaker 1>to make sure we're keeping our relationship just purely like professional,

1:00:49.120 --> 1:00:53.320
<v Speaker 1>like where you probably shouldn't touch me. I appreciate that

1:00:53.360 --> 1:00:55.680
<v Speaker 1>you've said some nice things. I mean that that's nice,

1:00:55.720 --> 1:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>but just maybe maybe don't say them to me, Like

1:00:58.600 --> 1:01:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I I don't know. I don't have a good answer

1:01:01.320 --> 1:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>for it because I've never really had a great outcome

1:01:04.000 --> 1:01:07.160
<v Speaker 1>with it. Um, but I have learned, like years later,

1:01:07.440 --> 1:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>I should have definitely said no, so have definitely set

1:01:10.080 --> 1:01:12.920
<v Speaker 1>up for myself it wasn't okay, And that you can't

1:01:12.960 --> 1:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>tell them. It's just you have to find a a

1:01:16.440 --> 1:01:18.760
<v Speaker 1>way like to tell them because if they get like

1:01:18.840 --> 1:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>offended too easily. I mean, they can just make your

1:01:21.840 --> 1:01:24.080
<v Speaker 1>life stuck at work. It's not fair. It's just how

1:01:24.120 --> 1:01:28.120
<v Speaker 1>it is. So I'm sorry, that's like that's the worst.

1:01:28.400 --> 1:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry too that that is not a good position

1:01:30.200 --> 1:01:32.200
<v Speaker 1>to be in. Jared, let's hear your perspective, because you

1:01:32.240 --> 1:01:35.960
<v Speaker 1>are a boss, and I'm sure you never told the

1:01:36.000 --> 1:01:39.040
<v Speaker 1>line there, But how would you how would you handle

1:01:39.080 --> 1:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>a situation like that? I mean, yeah, I would listen

1:01:45.120 --> 1:01:48.360
<v Speaker 1>to Jenna and I would say that you should definitely

1:01:49.760 --> 1:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>say something. You should just tell them how uncomfortable it's

1:01:52.920 --> 1:01:55.840
<v Speaker 1>making you feel. Or maybe there's an HR department that

1:01:55.920 --> 1:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>you can report to. Definitely, don't hold it in. Definitely

1:01:58.800 --> 1:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>say something. It's a Lincoln can continually get worse. Just

1:02:01.720 --> 1:02:04.600
<v Speaker 1>say something, I don't know the tough gender. Do you?

1:02:04.640 --> 1:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Are you nervous if they see if this person says something,

1:02:08.720 --> 1:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>I am, Yes, I am, because I don't, Yeah, because

1:02:12.280 --> 1:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't want you to have to like deal with

1:02:14.000 --> 1:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>the negative repercussions that I know can come from offending

1:02:17.640 --> 1:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>a man in power sometimes, and I know that I

1:02:20.120 --> 1:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>must feel like we need to like practice this year. Like, Okay,

1:02:23.080 --> 1:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>let's say, let's just say, Jared, let's just say I'm

1:02:26.320 --> 1:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to talk to you, Okay, Like like I don't

1:02:31.240 --> 1:02:35.240
<v Speaker 1>this isn't even the same at all, But like how

1:02:35.280 --> 1:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>would you respond? Like just try to put yourself in

1:02:37.320 --> 1:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>the position if I were to say, okay, if I

1:02:39.880 --> 1:02:42.400
<v Speaker 1>were to say, and now, would this be would this

1:02:42.560 --> 1:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>be a do you know what? I would this be

1:02:46.000 --> 1:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>a text conversation, email conversation or face to face because

1:02:48.440 --> 1:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>the problem with face to face is it's not recorded.

1:02:51.960 --> 1:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>That's what they say, right, they say it, they say

1:02:54.120 --> 1:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>say it, forget it, or yes, say I forget it, right,

1:02:56.960 --> 1:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>regret it. But it's also a good thing because then

1:02:59.200 --> 1:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>you have a record it. But I'm just gonna say,

1:03:01.920 --> 1:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>let's say it was face to face one day, because actually,

1:03:03.840 --> 1:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I think you're gonna have to have more than one conversation,

1:03:06.040 --> 1:03:12.200
<v Speaker 1>so let's just say something happened. You just be like, UM,

1:03:12.680 --> 1:03:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you should you should say those things

1:03:14.560 --> 1:03:16.440
<v Speaker 1>to me. It's just not really really appropriate for work.

1:03:16.480 --> 1:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>It's not really professional. Um, but thank you, you know,

1:03:19.600 --> 1:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>um not I mean thank you. Oh gosh. Like I'm

1:03:23.000 --> 1:03:24.640
<v Speaker 1>trying to think of, like do you know what I'm

1:03:24.680 --> 1:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>saying is it's such a sensitive situation and if he

1:03:27.760 --> 1:03:29.840
<v Speaker 1>if he will, if he gets offended easy, it could

1:03:29.840 --> 1:03:32.160
<v Speaker 1>he could blow up. I would say, if you do

1:03:32.280 --> 1:03:34.360
<v Speaker 1>talk face to face, there should be something. There should

1:03:34.400 --> 1:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>be a witness there. There's gotta be a third part

1:03:35.960 --> 1:03:39.840
<v Speaker 1>of at least maybe an email saying how you feel,

1:03:39.840 --> 1:03:42.720
<v Speaker 1>but like not too in depth. Just I think we

1:03:43.160 --> 1:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe not even saying anything you did, just like I

1:03:45.080 --> 1:03:48.760
<v Speaker 1>think we should keep our relationship professional. Maybe I'm reading

1:03:48.760 --> 1:03:51.320
<v Speaker 1>into things, Lizzie. Does that help you at all? Do

1:03:51.360 --> 1:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>you think that that may be cleared something up for you? Yeah?

1:03:54.800 --> 1:03:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Because it is very very sensitive subject and I'm just

1:03:58.120 --> 1:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>now a trainee. So like if I if I continue

1:04:01.320 --> 1:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>working here, then it's like I don't want it to

1:04:04.400 --> 1:04:06.720
<v Speaker 1>get worse, But I also don't want to be training

1:04:06.720 --> 1:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>so hard and then get fired because yeah, blow him off,

1:04:09.840 --> 1:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, I don't know it's it's so I

1:04:12.360 --> 1:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>want you to at least know that it's not in

1:04:14.360 --> 1:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>your head and it's not okay, and it will get worse.

1:04:17.520 --> 1:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm not saying terribly worse, but like if you

1:04:20.240 --> 1:04:24.880
<v Speaker 1>if if it's allowed, that's your that's they're perceiving you

1:04:25.000 --> 1:04:28.360
<v Speaker 1>saying it's okay, and they will keep doing it. So

1:04:28.600 --> 1:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I do feel like it could come up like if

1:04:30.960 --> 1:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>he does something, I would almost maybe wait and and

1:04:34.360 --> 1:04:38.040
<v Speaker 1>when something happened just be like, yeah, that's that's unprofessional.

1:04:38.160 --> 1:04:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Just let please don't do that. Almost not a joke,

1:04:40.640 --> 1:04:42.960
<v Speaker 1>but almost like okay, let's just move on. And then

1:04:43.040 --> 1:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>if he does something in do you remember when I

1:04:44.920 --> 1:04:49.240
<v Speaker 1>told you I don't that that's not okay? But and

1:04:49.240 --> 1:04:52.840
<v Speaker 1>and um, but I would be things he's going to

1:04:52.920 --> 1:04:54.800
<v Speaker 1>have a response and I don't know what that response is,

1:04:54.800 --> 1:04:57.400
<v Speaker 1>but that's gonna affect the next step. I also, I

1:04:57.440 --> 1:05:01.680
<v Speaker 1>agree um with Jennath that definitely should be something that

1:05:02.640 --> 1:05:05.600
<v Speaker 1>you can trace back so if you talk face to face,

1:05:05.600 --> 1:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>there has to be someone there. Um, I'm because I

1:05:09.560 --> 1:05:11.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, don't record a private conversation. I don't know

1:05:11.880 --> 1:05:13.280
<v Speaker 1>if that opens up the whole can of worms. I

1:05:13.280 --> 1:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>don't even know. My point is, talk face to face.

1:05:15.160 --> 1:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>You have a witness there. Like anytime I have to

1:05:16.960 --> 1:05:19.440
<v Speaker 1>talk to an employee and either let them go or

1:05:19.480 --> 1:05:21.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a serious conversation, there's always someone else in the room,

1:05:21.920 --> 1:05:23.400
<v Speaker 1>and then there's a camera in the room as well.

1:05:24.120 --> 1:05:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Or email text to say hey, listen just makes me

1:05:27.200 --> 1:05:30.400
<v Speaker 1>feel uncomfortable. Let's just keep let's just have a platonic

1:05:30.440 --> 1:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>relationship here. Make sure that's an email text, so god

1:05:33.720 --> 1:05:36.640
<v Speaker 1>forbid this person starts making your life a little bit worse.

1:05:36.800 --> 1:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>You can have a trail of saying, you know, things

1:05:39.200 --> 1:05:41.600
<v Speaker 1>change after I sent this, or things change after I

1:05:41.640 --> 1:05:43.800
<v Speaker 1>had this conversation. So I think they're punished me because

1:05:43.840 --> 1:05:48.720
<v Speaker 1>of this. Okay, Yeah it is really Yeah, it's a

1:05:48.840 --> 1:05:51.320
<v Speaker 1>really hard because when it starts small, like oh your eyelashes,

1:05:51.400 --> 1:05:53.480
<v Speaker 1>like how could you you know? That's not like harassing you.

1:05:53.520 --> 1:05:55.840
<v Speaker 1>But this also is not okay, and it will get

1:05:56.200 --> 1:06:00.320
<v Speaker 1>it'll it'll continue. So yeah, you're a lot of say no,

1:06:00.400 --> 1:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>and you're law to stick up for yourself. Yeah, best

1:06:28.080 --> 1:06:31.439
