1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Hey there, everybody, Welcome to this episode of Amy and

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: DJ and can you keep a public relationship?

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 2: Right? That?

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: As what was up on this episode of Amy and TJ.

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: Bro you're making that? Oh you you're making a face

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: like what before we even get into that, what would

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: your what is your response? Can you, as a public figure,

8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: in a public relationship that you speak on and put

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: out there publicly, ever have any degree of privacy?

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: I think you should be able to. Okay, uh, correct,

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: it requires the cooperation of other people, which there in

12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: lies the problem.

13
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: But now everybody's going to argue with you. Wait a minute.

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: You want to put this out there when things are great.

15
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: Now I want to ask you a question when things

16
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: aren't so great, And now you want to scream privacy?

17
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: How can how are you supposed to balance that a

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: reconcile that.

19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough, But I just don't think that because

20
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: you make your living in the public eye, that's somehow

21
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: your public.

22
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: Property very good. But I'm stopping you there. I'm not

23
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 1: saying just because you're in the public eye. I'm saying

24
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: that a part of your being in the public eye

25
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: is you decide to put your relationship out there publicly,

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: to speak together on a podcast, on an interview, to

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: be on cover of magazines together. You could say no

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: to that, So why would you then say, Hey, I

29
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: want to be in the public with my relationship until

30
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: things go bad.

31
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: I just think that's human nature. You're sharing joy, right,

32
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I think a lot of times that it's

33
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: not even necessarily manipulative in any way. You're just like

34
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: sharing your joy, sharing your life, and yes, with that

35
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: comes then people's interest in your life. I get that.

36
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: I understand how that works. And then I get that

37
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: when things are tough and rough and not so great,

38
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: you don't want to share that, or maybe in due

39
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: time you're going to, or you're willing to if you

40
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: think it could help other people. But I think you still,

41
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: even if if you are sharing your life and sharing

42
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: your relationship with your curated you know, social media feed,

43
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: I get that. I don't think that then entitles everyone

44
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: to know everything. I just don't. I still I think

45
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: there's a way. I think there's a balance to it,

46
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 2: and it's a tough balance. I don't know that I

47
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: have the right answer on how to make that balance

48
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: make sense, but I think just inherently people have a

49
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: right to keep some things private, even if they choose

50
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: to share a lot of their relationship.

51
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 3: That's tough, is it.

52
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: You want to announce to everybody that you just got engaged.

53
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: You want to announce to everybody I'm at These are

54
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: my bridesmaids. You want announced everybody, These of my groomsmen,

55
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 1: this is who's coming to the wedding, this is where

56
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: we're going to be. And then as soon as somebody

57
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: asks you a question, when there are reports that maybe

58
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: y'all ain't doing so good, how can you then feel

59
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: comfortable being offended or telling someone you don't have a

60
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: right to ask me about the trouble in my relationship.

61
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: I only have a right to give you the positive

62
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: and exactly what I want to give, right.

63
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think, first of all, I don't think

64
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: that anybody can ask any question. But you also so

65
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: they have a right to ask whatever question they want.

66
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 2: They have a right to want to know potentially, but

67
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: you also have a right to not share, and you

68
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: don't have to give details, and you certainly don't have to.

69
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, who wants to go and say we're

70
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: getting divorced.

71
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 4: We've talked about it.

72
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 3: That was part of our problem.

73
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: That wasn't something that either one of us wanted to

74
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: do or were ready to do. We would have eventually,

75
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: because obviously that would have been something that would have

76
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: needed to be known. But in our time. You know,

77
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: just because you live a public life and you have

78
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: a public relationship doesn't mean that you don't need private

79
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: moments to get through stuff, to figure stuff out. Because

80
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: sometimes when you're going through it, whether it's divorce or

81
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: just difficulties of any kind, you don't even know what

82
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: to say, You don't even really know how you feel.

83
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: You need some time to figure it out, even in

84
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: your own head, for your own life, for your own children,

85
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: before you make it public.

86
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: Well, you know, to your point, you sound exactly like

87
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: the woman we are talking about in this episode, Trista

88
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: Trista and Ryan from the first ever season of Bachelorette. Yes,

89
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: so we're talking twenty years.

90
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: Ago, twenty one years ago.

91
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: Okay, so they have been married and have been going strong,

92
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: have two teenagers that they might wouldn't you say? You've

93
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: watched the show a little bit, not a lot, but

94
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: you watch her season. Would they be the biggest success

95
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: story in the history of that franchise.

96
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 3: I absolutely think so.

97
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 2: I So, I have never really watched that franchise from

98
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 2: start to finish ever, but I did that year for

99
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: whatever reason. I watched The Bachelorette. And we've said this,

100
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 2: I'm always rooting for love and so especially when you

101
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: see two people come together in a very non conventional way,

102
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: but in front of everybody, I have been rooting. I've

103
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: checked in, like on her Instagram, on them, like I

104
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: want to believe that you know, true love exists and

105
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 2: that you can make it work, even if you're in

106
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: the public eye, even with teenagers, you know, And so

107
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: I've I've followed along and been a cheerleader the scenes.

108
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: I assume then you were disappointed and when some of

109
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: the stuff started creeping out, I guess maybe a week

110
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: or so ago, or certainly in recent weeks her husband

111
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Sutter. So, Ryan was putting out messages that and

112
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: again quote unquote, they were calling them cryptic, but he

113
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: was speaking as if he had not spoken to his

114
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: wife Trista, or he was not in contact with her.

115
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: That set off some alarm bells to where people thought

116
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: they were on their way to divorce. Now, when you

117
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: were seeing all this stuff, did you. Were you starting

118
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: to get concerned?

119
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: I was, But I also was a little concerned that

120
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: he was almost fishing without her, Like I found that

121
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: to be a little bit like he was putting out

122
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: he was putting out cryptic messages, so he was he

123
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: was stry. Okay, he was creating the ripples. I don't

124
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: No one would have known necessarily, I.

125
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: Mean, but keep it to yourself. We wouldn't known.

126
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I was.

127
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 2: I think I was disappointed that he was doing that. Like,

128
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: if you have something to say, I get that, or

129
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: if you want to, but it just felt like he

130
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: was almost poking the bear, like he was trying to

131
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: get her to react, or even a way to.

132
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,119
Speaker 4: Get her to say something.

133
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 3: Putting it out.

134
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 2: There publicly, she would then feel the pressure to say something,

135
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 2: do something.

136
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: Okay, Now when you put it that way, I get it, okay,

137
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: And I want to stop this podcast because that sounds

138
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: like people who are legitimately going through a relationship something.

139
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

140
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: That makes you do crazy things. Yeah, and you get

141
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: desperate and you try to reach out. And we've all

142
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: done something stupid to try to get the other person

143
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: to call us or text or do something out. We've

144
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: done that I did not think about the way you

145
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: might like call.

146
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 2: Someone's best friend to just be like, hey, what's up.

147
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 2: You know, you just kind of like put the feelers out,

148
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: you know, like, what's the what's the what's really happening?

149
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: What do I not know?

150
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: I don't think like that.

151
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: But it was strange.

152
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: I mean that was just my perception that I just

153
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: thought it was weird that he was doing that. I mean,

154
00:06:58,680 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: it definitely felt deliberate.

155
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: Okay, to your point, yes I didn't. I didn't see this.

156
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: But to your point, he wrote this on Mother's Day quote,

157
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: I really wish I could talk to you, ask you

158
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: how you're doing, how was your day. I'd really like

159
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: to hear your voice just for a minute. So many

160
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: times I've called without much to say, not realizing how

161
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: lucky I was or how much I'd miss the opportunity

162
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: if it were gone.

163
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: That's not cryptic. That's not that's not cryptic at all.

164
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: That's she's not returning my phone calls. I mean, that

165
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: is with that.

166
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 3: Says, And I mean, who am I to judge? Because

167
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: it worked.

168
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: There's no judge. Okay, she reacted, Okay, but he had

169
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: to react to that one because He then writes another

170
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: post that said he often writes quote without regard for

171
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: how his post will be interpreted, and with absolutely no

172
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: intent to deceive or mislead anyone. That is the farthest,

173
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: farthest thing from my mind. Now, after reading that, it

174
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: sounds like some other people might have been writing into him,

175
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: saying the same things you were saying here, right, And

176
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: then he had to say something.

177
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it seemed like, wait, if why can't you

178
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: just have that private text back and forth? Why do

179
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: you have to put that out on Mother's Day of

180
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: all days? Too? He was calling her out. I mean,

181
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: he was trying to say I miss you, but he

182
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,559
Speaker 2: was a public cry.

183
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: Okay, let me try one more for you. Okay, from

184
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: him again, quote, Trista is fine, We are fine, We're great.

185
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: Trista is at a place in life where she is

186
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: searching a bit. An opportunity presented itself that may help

187
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: her on that quest. With her family support, she has

188
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: taken it. Part of that process means that she is

189
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: temporarily inaccessible to us. End quote. Now, what how do

190
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: you leave someone alone? How are you asking for privacy?

191
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they are necessarily, but that is a

192
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: lot of public stuff and a few posts that, I mean,

193
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: what they choosing to do it?

194
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree, Like I think in that case

195
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: you asked, you know, can you keep things private? Certainly

196
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 2: he chose not to, though, and so then of course

197
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 2: people are going to conjecture. And I think a lot

198
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 2: of well meaning people, someone like me who really hopes

199
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: that they're okay and really wants them to be good

200
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 2: and wants to believe that they're going to figure it out.

201
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: But I think it definitely was not cryptic, now that

202
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: you just I heard you just say it. He was

203
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 2: absolutely saying my wife is not talking to me, and

204
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 2: I wish she would and that's tough. And I have

205
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: to say, I really, do you know how much time

206
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: it was between when he put those out and when

207
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 2: she actually just because she just responded on Instagram and

208
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: a yeah, oh the weekend, And I actually I actually

209
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: liked what she had to say. But one of my

210
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 2: she did write a lot, but one of my favorite,

211
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: one of my favorite quotes, this was just the first one.

212
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:07,239
Speaker 2: She said, Gee's people, can't a girl have a nervous breakdown? Trial, separation,

213
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 2: midlife crisis, death, divorce?

214
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 3: In peace around here. I mean, she just kind of.

215
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: Put at the smiling laughing emojis.

216
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 2: Laughing emojis, so that I would say is cryptic because

217
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 2: which one is it?

218
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 3: Is it none of the above? Is it all the above?

219
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 3: Is it some of the above? Is it A and

220
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: B and not D? I don't know.

221
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: But she did at least handle it with a little humor,

222
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: kind of a wink and a nod. And she put

223
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: a family photo of them all together, the two of

224
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: them with their kids. So I don't know if that's

225
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: a recent photo, if they've been reunited. But yeah, it's tough,

226
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 2: not It's tough to ask people to not weigh in

227
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 2: when you've literally asked people in a way to weigh

228
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: in by putting something like that out on social media.

229
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: Okay for your here you go. This is what she

230
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: tells us. I chose myself and betterment, knowing that my

231
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: stay at home mom job and my kids end of

232
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: the school year needs were in the best most capable hands.

233
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: She but she sounds like she did step away and

234
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: need to step away to where it was understood that

235
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: he was gonna have to be responsible for everything while

236
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: she's out of pocket. Now this given look, we all

237
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: have a lot of folks have gone through something. Now,

238
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: we've been through something relationship wise. Who listen to this

239
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: and you're not you're not speculating your heart's hurting, Like

240
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: you recognize some things in here, like Wow, those people

241
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: are going through something. Clearly they choose to put it

242
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: out publicly. That's on them. But in reading it and

243
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: diving into it more than the headlines, your heart kind

244
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: of works like, Wow, I'm sorry for what you're going through,

245
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: but I'm sorry you feel like you have to do

246
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: this now in this public way.

247
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think a lot of times people

248
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 2: are looking for support, even you know, so it doesn't

249
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: matter who you are. You're you know, whether you're you

250
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: know Ryan Sutter or you're you know the guy next door.

251
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 2: But sometimes people just want to know they're not alone,

252
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: or they want other people to know, Hey, I'm going

253
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: through it, and in a way, they're looking for support

254
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: from the public. And I think maybe that could have

255
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: been what was going on as well, Like you're people

256
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: want to feel like especially if he was feeling scared

257
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 2: and lonely and like he wanted to know other people

258
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 2: kind of had his back. Maybe I'm worried about him

259
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 2: and them, and that felt good. I mean, I get that.

260
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: You know, there is a collective hug. Obviously there can

261
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 2: be some really negative, nasty, awful things going on with

262
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 2: social media, but there can also be this feeling of

263
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: like I'm not alone, and so maybe that's what he

264
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: was trying to.

265
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: Do, she continues. We look at Instagram like a digital diary.

266
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: Most of the time, the world doesn't pay too much attention.

267
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: This time, he her husband couldn't say anything right. Just

268
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: about every news outlet picked up on his quote. Cryptic, confusing,

269
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: attention sinking, dramatic pictures and captions. Wow, to me, they

270
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: gave me exactly what my words of affirmation love language

271
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: needed to get me through some serious self doubt and fear.

272
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: And that's all that matters. Wow. She is defending what

273
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: he did and saying what he did was exactly what

274
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: she needed. We're seeing this all play out. You and

275
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: I love watching how couples communicate, but this is interesting.

276
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: It's really fascinating to see it.

277
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 2: You know what she is, So that is fascinating because

278
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 2: you know what it was. I heard what he wrote.

279
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: He was saying, I love you, I miss you, we

280
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: need you. You're of value to us. We want you back,

281
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: And that might have been what she needed to hear,

282
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: because maybe she felt like she and I are the

283
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: same age. You know, you're doing everything for your kids,

284
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 2: You're racing around. She's she's spent her whole life being

285
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: their mom and his wife right as her full time job,

286
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,359
Speaker 2: and so maybe she just felt unappreciated and felt overwhelmed

287
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: and thought, what have I done with my life? And

288
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: maybe what he wrote is exactly what she needed to hear,

289
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: and he did it in a public way so everyone

290
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 2: could see how much he valued and they valued her

291
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: as a woman, as a wife as Oh that's.

292
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: Fascinating, Like how much value in a public relationship or

293
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: even a private relationship I say private, and that it's

294
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: not one that's out there the celebrity couple for lack

295
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: of a better phrase, like how much is that needed

296
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: from day to day from any couple? Because social media

297
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: now is where if you are not talking about your

298
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: significant other, your significant what you're not proud of me?

299
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, birthdays now and adversaries, you got to like

300
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: write a like a love letter, like a birthday cards

301
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 2: to the whole world to see because it's not good

302
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: enough if I just.

303
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 3: Give you one privately. We got to put it up

304
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: there for everyone to see.

305
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: Okay, it's true.

306
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 3: I do that for my girls on birthdays. They want,

307
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 3: they want, they and I get that.

308
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: It's absolutely like, then you feel good and everyone who

309
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: says happy birthday to you and says he's captions and

310
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 2: pictures of the year that you spent with them with

311
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: different moments. Then you then take that, put it on

312
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: your store and say, see how many.

313
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 3: People's a happy birthday to me?

314
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: Like it's where we are in this world? We're all

315
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: you know, there are all versions of it.

316
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: Well, you say, is where we are? Is it where

317
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: we need to just accept where we are? Or do

318
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: we need to do something about it? Because it's either

319
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: going to continue to go the direction it's going, or

320
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: we're going to slow it down or maybe back it up.

321
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: Because that sounds to your point. Words of affirmation are

322
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: supposed to be the words I give you, not the

323
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: words other people hear me give you.

324
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I totally agree with you and what

325
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: you're saying. I will say this, if you're saying something

326
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: positive about someone in a public way, that's amazing, Like

327
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: there's nothing bad about that now, needing it, requiring it,

328
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: getting pissed if it doesn't happen.

329
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 3: That's a whole other issue.

330
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: But it's I don't think anyone's going to be upset

331
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: if the person they love tells the world how much

332
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: they love them on social media. Now, other people might

333
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: be annoyed by that might be nausegating to other people,

334
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: wait to the.

335
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: Public or to the person, Like some people might like,

336
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: stop talking about me on social media. I don't like that.

337
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 2: There's that, But I think I think it's for me,

338
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: like I can only speak for myself. I think it's

339
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: if it feels untrue, manipulative, Like what you do in

340
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: private is very different, and then in public, oh, you're

341
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: grandstanding and show voting and saying how much you love

342
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: like love bombing me in front of everyone, and then

343
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: when you know in quiet other moments, it's not the

344
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 2: same that I do not like.

345
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: Bombs. In fact, it's just an explosion of love.

346
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: Love bombing someone you you tell them how much you

347
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 2: love them, and needed are you actually trying to get

348
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,239
Speaker 2: something from them? That? Like, the love bombing is manipulative?

349
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: I think, Andy, have you heard of love bombings?

350
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 5: It is a phrase. Yeah, it's not a good one.

351
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: It's not.

352
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 3: It's manipulative.

353
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: What is love?

354
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 5: You?

355
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 3: You?

356
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 2: You?

357
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 3: You overwhelm a.

358
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: Show of love for an audience.

359
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 5: Showering of affection. So this way, everybody is kind of

360
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 5: just like oh wow, he like really like you're doing.

361
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: Too much, and you're doing it because you want people

362
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: to say you're a good guy, like see how much

363
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: I love my wife, See how much I'm a good Hugh.

364
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: It's been like it's so it ends up being narcissistic.

365
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 2: But it's hard to necessarily see in the moment because

366
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: you're feeling the love bomb. Yes, but if you can

367
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: see past and through the love bomb, it's actually not

368
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 2: a good thing.

369
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: So in the moment you fall with the love bomb, Well, some.

370
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 3: People do not everyone.

371
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I am I giving you a love bomb?

372
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 2: You have not and I don't need you to really No,

373
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 2: it's all the little small things that no one sees

374
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: that from me are important.

375
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: Look, we're in a room that our faces are on

376
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: the screens, and it says Amy and TJ. That's a

377
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: pretty big love bomb. How much a declaration do I need?

378
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: I signed a contract with you? You signed on the top.

379
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,719
Speaker 3: Have I ever loved bombed you.

380
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: No, not a love missile, not a firecracker.

381
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 3: It was Sparkler, have a love Sparkler.

382
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: Okay, Sparkler's God you do. You got just the givet

383
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: the keyszone given. I love it. But I'm going to

384
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,959
Speaker 1: finish with Tristo because she finished her post with this

385
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: line quote, After all, nervous breakdowns and separations require much

386
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: needed rest and relaxation. Like that's almost she's messing with us.

387
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 3: Yes, I appreciate that.

388
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: I think if you can turn anything into a little

389
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 2: bit of humor, I'm on board. I think that's how

390
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: we get through most of life's crap is laughing, and

391
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 2: if you can laugh about it, she's ahead of the game.

392
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: But this was something that Andy now, our producer, sent us.

393
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: He came up with a list of questions. I mean,

394
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: he sits in here off in time, he listens to look.

395
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: If y'all don't know, Andy, hears all the podcasts, but

396
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: he hears a lot of stuff that happens before and

397
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: after with being robot. He sees us as a couple

398
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: and as colleagues day in day out. So he actually

399
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: thought of he was curious about what it's like to,

400
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: I guess, try to be a couple, try to maintain

401
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: a relationship in the public eyes in private. But and

402
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: you go ahead. You had some things that were kind

403
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: of thought provoking. We don't have the answers to them yet,

404
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: but we waiting for you to put us on the

405
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: spot with it.

406
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 5: Yeah. So one of them that I had was what

407
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 5: is it about relationships in the public eye that make

408
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 5: it difficult? Like? What do people not understand?

409
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 2: I think the hard part is knowing that everyone's commenting

410
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 2: on what you do, what you say, how you look

411
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 2: at each other. I think just knowing that you're being

412
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 2: scrutinized every time you go out or anytime you post

413
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: anything is tough to always try to make sure that

414
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I just I want to be living our

415
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: truth and be able to be free to be us

416
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: without worrying what other people are thinking about us being us.

417
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 2: So it's just it's a little tricky to get that

418
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 2: out of your head and to just really live and

419
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 2: not live wondering what people are saying, thinking writing all

420
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: of that. I don't know.

421
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: I don't think of pulling people to understand. I think

422
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: it is just that every single thing you go through

423
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: in your relationship. We go through in ours, that's getting

424
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: up in the morning, which you're gotta eat, who makes

425
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: who does laundry, who's taking the kids, who's every single

426
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: thing we are dealing with, like everybody else. Is just

427
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: the added part of that sometimes that it feels awful

428
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: to try to fake a relationship in both ways. You

429
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: know what I mean by that. I have tried to

430
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: put on to make sure the public had the impression

431
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: that things were going good in my relationship. But now

432
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: things are going great in my relationship, and I'm now

433
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: making sure I don't let the public know that because

434
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: it seems like in our relationship folks are rooting for you,

435
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: are they're rooting against you, or they have some problem.

436
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: We talked about shame here, like we were for so long,

437
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: like made to feel shame for our relationship. So it's

438
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: weird to be in a wonderful place and not want

439
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: people to know it because you're worried about what they're

440
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: going to say about you actually being happy. And that

441
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: seems stupid as hell.

442
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 4: But yeah, and.

443
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 5: So off of that, how much weight do you guys

444
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 5: place on social media in your relationship and is it

445
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 5: important to actually post the ones you love.

446
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 4: HM. So I've struggled with this because obviously we've got

447
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 4: this podcast and our relationship is on display professionally, and

448
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 4: then obviously we've got our personal moments, and so I

449
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 4: have not I haven't figured it out.

450
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,239
Speaker 2: Like I don't want to post too much about what

451
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 2: we do privately, but sometimes I do want to share it.

452
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm I'm, I haven't figured it out yet,

453
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 2: because I also don't want to be annoying, like look

454
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: at us smiling, look at us hugging, look at us kissing.

455
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I think most people get annoyed. It's funny people.

456
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 2: You know, it's called unfollow, Like you can unfollow anyone

457
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 2: who gets annoying. But I see other people who are annoying,

458
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I don't want to be like that.

459
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: So it's I don't know what the right answer is.

460
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 4: You don't really do any of that.

461
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: Well, I'm looking for the right answer, but it's that

462
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: was a month that I have not posted anything with

463
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: you on Instagram for a month. That's and I'm with

464
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: you all day every day, haven't posted a single thing,

465
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: and the last you know, I haven't. I'm trying to

466
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: find The last thing I posted that was just personal.

467
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking at hey. If I'm looking you see you hear.

468
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 3: This style here A D gives it sounds like me

469
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 3: on my phone.

470
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: It was in January.

471
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 4: Wow.

472
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: Like everything else had to do with the podcast. We're

473
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: doing something or going to an event, but I haven't

474
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: just posted about the two of us. And again, a

475
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: lot of that does, unfortunately have to do with you

476
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: don't want to You worry about the support you get

477
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 1: when you start dating somebody. You worried about your mother,

478
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: I'm going to support it, your sister, your kids, or

479
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: something else. We had to deal with all of that,

480
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: and now we sit here completely free of any of that,

481
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: but concern about being accepted outside of our family. We're

482
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: worried about being accepted by the public and followers and

483
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: all these kinds. I hate, hate, hate. I've admitted it,

484
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: but I hate admitting it. It sucks. But I'm sitting

485
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: here with this woman I love. I sit next to

486
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: her every day. I declare it several times a day,

487
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: and anytime we do a podcast, I'm usually declaring it publicly.

488
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: So it's not really much of a confusion about where

489
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: I stand with you.

490
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 3: What are you trying to hide the private.

491
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 1: It's silly.

492
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 2: Well, you don't want to look like you're trying to

493
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 2: prove something right or like you're doing something just for show.

494
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 2: But if you just try to keep it authentic, I

495
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 2: guess let people decide what they want to think, because

496
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 2: they're going to anyway regardless had.

497
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: You buttoned it up at that at the end, because

498
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: last time we let people think what they wanted to think,

499
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: things ain't go so well.

500
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, just off.

501
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 5: The heels of that. Are you going to follow her

502
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 5: on Instagram? Because I know you only have the one

503
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 5: follower rule?

504
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: What Andy, we were doing so well? Why you have

505
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: to bring up?

506
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 2: Oh shit, I rolled my eyes at you in a

507
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 2: long time, but I just rolled my eyes at you.

508
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

509
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: I know, I know. I haven't haven't given any more thought,

510
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: which means no, I haven't give any more thoughts.

511
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 5: The next question I have is when it comes to

512
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 5: reading about yourself and the press, what can that do

513
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 5: to her relationship? And can it cause distrust?

514
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: Hmm, you know, I will, I'll let you take the rest.

515
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: I'll only mention this because it just happened the other

516
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: day that you I don't even know what we were.

517
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: I think we were getting ready for a podcast, but

518
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 1: I was asking something about articles, something in the past

519
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: that it I needed something some some silly headlines from

520
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: the past that were ridiculous, and you were looking them

521
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: up and you sent me a screen grab of an article.

522
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: And my response to Robot was, sweetheart, please don't send

523
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: me any images of the articles. I do not read

524
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: and look at anything press wise. When it comes to

525
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: me and us, not a single thing. To the point

526
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: that she's just given me a screen grap with a headline,

527
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: I say, hey, baby, remember and I'm just that's how

528
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: I am. So when it comes to your question, is

529
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 1: that's where I am?

530
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is triggering, I think because I could have

531
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 2: put the headline in there and you would have been okay,

532
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 2: because you just asked for some ridiculous headlines.

533
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 4: But to see it, to see.

534
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 2: Our pictures, it just it starts you actually feel I

535
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 2: go right back to feeling my chest tightens. You're worried

536
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 2: about what they're saying. You start getting in your head

537
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 2: about what the reaction is, and then you start overthinking things.

538
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 2: So I agree, and I always say like, okay, I

539
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: can look and I can I'll be okay, but then

540
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 2: I realize if I'm being honest, you know, thirty minutes later,

541
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 2: an hour later, I feel a heaviness. I feel the

542
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 2: weight of it. I feel I don't like knowing that

543
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 2: people think one way about me or one way about him,

544
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 2: and it's divisive. I mean, it's not all like that,

545
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: but yes, when I do read those things, it does

546
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 2: affect me. I've tried really hard not to. I've a

547
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 2: couple of times have fallen off the wagon, so to speak,

548
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: and I've read some of the comments and I've always

549
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 2: regretted it, like I regret it every time. It's not helpful,

550
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: and I'm giving away not just my power but our

551
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 2: power because we know who we are, and we know

552
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 2: what we've done to build where we are in our

553
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 2: lives together, and nothing that anyone can say should change that.

554
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 2: So it's it's but it does affect. It does affect

555
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 2: us and me.

556
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna post about you today.

557
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 4: Are you You're gonna love momy?

558
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: You just ruined it. I have something in mind. I

559
00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: use okay, I gotta read think.

560
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 5: My last question was when it comes to your privacy

561
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 5: in the public eye, what boundaries are necessary? To set

562
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 5: with your partner beforehand.

563
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 2: We have always I don't neither one of us have

564
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 2: ever posted a picture without the other person giving approval.

565
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 4: Just for that reason.

566
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 2: I think that's a very important boundary to not just

567
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 2: you know, think that I can put whatever I want

568
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 2: up about you or about us and not have it

569
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 2: affect us. So I think we just need to always

570
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 2: be on the same page with that, and privacy wise,

571
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: I think the same goes with having conversations just with anybody.

572
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 2: Forget social media, forget to not I don't talk about

573
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: if we have a disagreement, I don't go call someone.

574
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: I don't go call my mom. I don't we don't.

575
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 2: We work it out together. And I think that's an

576
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 2: important boundary, whether you're a public couple or a private couple.

577
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 2: I think you know.

578
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 3: That matters, that that trust matters.

579
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,959
Speaker 1: I think that's what I was thinking of a situation.

580
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: I think it had to do with Nikki were talking

581
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: about keeping a relationship private. Anytime I have heard that

582
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: there was something someone outside of the two of us

583
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: was aware of before I was, that is that's the

584
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: only boundary. Social media wise, we just don't have that issue.

585
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: But as far as boundaries. Think we're on the same

586
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: page there we have gotten into. I hate to give

587
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: this away because some member of the Papa riets is

588
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: going to figure it out, but we've said this that

589
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: comes to privacy we have with the weather's nice. Now

590
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: we've gone out and we start to go to certain

591
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: restaurants and sit outside and enjoy the weather. We sit

592
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: now in places we never would have said a year ago. No,

593
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: like on full display, like anybody, and we constantly people

594
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: are constantly stopping.

595
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:47,959
Speaker 4: Uh.

596
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: They still want to say hello, they want to take

597
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: pictures and all kinds of stuff. But we absolutely now

598
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: when it comes to privacy, at least being out that's

599
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: not revealing something mean about what's going on at home,

600
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: but at least as far as being seen, being spotted,

601
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: being together with whatever we're doing, we're better about that

602
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: than we have ever been.

603
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 2: Oh it's just nice, I think to not have been

604
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 2: able to do that, or to not feel free to

605
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 2: do that for definitely for a full year. I am

606
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 2: so much more appreciative of just being able to sit

607
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 2: out in the sun and you know, be out in

608
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 2: public in an open space like that was no way

609
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 2: could we have done that, right, So It's just funny

610
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 2: how you get that perspective of how appreciative we are

611
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: to just have that moment and people have been kind

612
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 2: and anyone who does come up, maybe they ask for

613
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 2: a picture, but they've been really cool. We you know

614
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 2: what we don't like, I think this is anybody could

615
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 2: this this is, but but this is actually I think

616
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 2: about how I was maybe if I spotted somebody who

617
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 2: I liked or a celebrity, Like we appreciate anyone who

618
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 2: wants to come up and say, hey, we love you guys,

619
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 2: or we listen to your podcast, or we're rooting for you.

620
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 2: And if they say, would you mind if I got

621
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: a picture, we'll always say yes. We didn't before a

622
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 2: year ago we were not did not feel comfortable saying that,

623
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 2: but now we'll always say yes, like always. What we

624
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: don't like is when people surreptitiously is that how you

625
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 2: say it, take a picture and think we can't see

626
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 2: them doing it, Like I don't like feeling like I'm

627
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: in an aquarium or I'm on display to the point

628
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 2: where you're going to just take a picture of me,

629
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 2: like without me knowing, and because we can almost always

630
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 2: see it, by the way, and just we'd almost well, no,

631
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 2: not almost. We'd always rather someone come up and say

632
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 2: hi and take the picture with us, with our consent.

633
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: Yes, that's what.

634
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 2: No.

635
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: We have absolutely left places. We have walked out of restaurants,

636
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: we have changed train cars, we have done a lot

637
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: of things to get away from folks who were behaving

638
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:46,959
Speaker 1: in that way. And look, we don't know if they

639
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: got ill intent or not, but we have had people

640
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: who've done that before and they did have all intent.

641
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: And it calls serious problems in our relationships, in our

642
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of stuff I thought we've learned.

643
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: I think people think that they're being that they're respecting

644
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 2: our privacy by not coming up to us. I actually

645
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: think they might think I don't want to bother them,

646
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 2: but I want a picture. I would every time rather

647
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: you come ask for the picture every time.

648
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: All Right, you heard it here, folks, Sydney Andy. I'm

649
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: a report back next week. She got into a fight

650
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: on the train because somebody asked for a picture.

651
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 2: You said, ask, yes, No, it's always more polite to ask,

652
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: And I think it's it's not an invasion of privacy

653
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 2: if you're saying something kind, but to do it without

654
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 2: us realizing it or to do it when you think

655
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: we're not looking. That actually is something that we don't prefer.

656
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: We will leave you though on this one with that

657
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: ridiculous movie recommendation. Oh, yes, she's very you could tell

658
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: she's very excited. Go ahead, give it to him.

659
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.

660
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 2: Okay, wait, so first I'll give you the name of

661
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 2: the name of the movie.

662
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 3: It's called There's Something in the Barn. Yes, wonderful name.

663
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 3: I mean, you're cure you already Something in the Barn.

664
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 2: Now, imagine an American family moving to Norway because he's

665
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 2: inherited a home that his uncle gave him. Okay, so

666
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 2: that's where it begins. But what's in the barn is

667
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 2: what makes it so great because you might be thinking

668
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: it's some you know, haunted barn.

669
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 4: Well not exactly.

670
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 2: Should we tell them horror comedy, right, Oh, it's absolutely

671
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 2: horror comedy. And you just have to like it's funny, okay,

672
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 2: and you just have to be willing to laugh at this.

673
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 2: But I will argue the writing is spectacular. They're making

674
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 2: fun of Americans and Norwegians all in one time. And

675
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 2: then the folklore that is a huge part of Norway.

676
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 2: But I just thought it was brilliantly done, a lot

677
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 2: of like physical comedy that's supposed to be horror, but

678
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: it's also common. I mean, I just cannot say enough

679
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: good things about this movie. I want to watch it again.

680
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 2: We actually context we watched it two thirty in the morning.

681
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, not just because we were up, but

682
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: we've been up, but we had passed out and we

683
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: woke up yep, at two in the morning. It's like,

684
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: let's put a movie on. And we found that one

685
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: and it delivered at two thirty. We stayed up tillfore

686
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: watching this movie.

687
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 2: Well what happened is I think I had to get

688
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 2: up at four am with you. So by the time

689
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 2: eight thirty rolled around, I was asleep. And then I

690
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 2: woke up at two thirty fully refreshed, and.

691
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 3: So I was like, let's watch a movie, sweetheart.

692
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: Why did you turned negative all of a sudden? Why

693
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: you have to put all of our business out there?

694
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: And then we talk about keeping some things private.

695
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 2: Well, everyone knows you're a very early riser, and sometimes

696
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 2: you're even earlier than others.

697
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 3: And then Sweetheart, we had a good, nice ending to

698
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 3: this show.

699
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: Here's a movie recommendation. It's funny, you'll have a good time.

Speaker 1: Oh yeah. By the way, and with this apisold, it
