1
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: What I like about the show generally is that it

2
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: does this incredibly difficult thing, which is find people that

3
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: somehow don't want to be reality stars to volunteer to

4
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: be on television, and to be honest, the fact that

5
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: it does that successfully makes me think it is using

6
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: unethical means, Like there is something about how perfectly it

7
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: does what it sets out to do where I'm like,

8
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: you are tricking these people, like these people somehow, somehow

9
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: you found the only people that don't get what it

10
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: means to air your dirty laundry on television.

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: Well, there is financial incentive, because it's true that she

12
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: they get free therapy and they even get a stipend.

13
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: Oh they do.

14
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they get like a stipend for like travel and childcare.

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I get that, and I think it also

16
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: what's nice about it, and what's frankly kind of unrealistic

17
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,639
Speaker 1: about it is that it's a financially and like class wise,

18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: a diverse set of people, Whereas I'm sure that normally

19
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: someone like or No would have clients that were only

20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: very wealthy, Yeah, which are patients, not clients, excuse me.

21
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: So I do think that's what's sort of interesting about

22
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: it is it is not a depiction of something that

23
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: already exists in the real world. It's actually its own thing.

24
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: Like there is no couple's therapists that would have those

25
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: that set of patients. I mean, I know some people

26
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: offer sliding scale and stuff, but even how geographically diverse,

27
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: it is like there's people that are like in like

28
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: Staten Island and people that are in the Upper West.

29
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,919
Speaker 1: Like those people would not all go to the same therapist.

30
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: It is an inherently like artificial thing. I mean, I

31
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: know I'm nitpicking, but I'm fascinated. Like to me, the

32
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: couple where like the woman is liberal and the guys

33
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: a Trump supporter, that's like my favorite kind of couple

34
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: because I'm like, there's something universal totally. And I realize

35
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm picking the one straight way couple and saying they're universal,

36
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: but that's not what I mean.

37
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: I mean, like the political disagreement thing is so universal.

38
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: And also it's funny because it starts with that and

39
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, this is what it's about, and then

40
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: it becomes about like him being a recovering him being

41
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: in recovery and needing more rules than her, and how

42
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: that affects her it's genuinely so interesting as like a

43
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: peek into two people that have legitimate differences and whether

44
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: or not they can bridge them and you and of

45
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: course you feel not complicit, but you feel like you

46
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: start relating more to the Trump guys. It's very interesting.

47
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I don't know where I come

48
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: out in terms of the ethics around the autistic UH boyfriend,

49
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: because I'm not sure how I feel about I don't

50
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: know having him be portrayed like that on television. But

51
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: what did you think of the season? Generally?

52
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: I liked it. I felt like it didn't reach the

53
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: full like emotional heights of some previous seasons I felt.

54
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: But I really did like the Trump couple Trump and

55
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: non Trump couple. I mean, I could do a whole

56
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: season on that because I'm just like so, I'm still

57
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: like like not in like a New York Times we

58
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: talked to a blue collar worker at a diner in

59
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: Kansas Way, but like there's something about the Trump thing

60
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: where I'm still trying to be like what do you mean?

61
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: Like like so, as a watcher, I'm like so curious

62
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: to get like the inner psyche of someone who's like, no,

63
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: Trump is really doing good work. But unfortunately what it

64
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: always turns into is like they like, don't they're just

65
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: like sort of they like think of it as a

66
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: sports team or something like they're just like so like

67
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: he wasn't saying what he liked. Like when she was

68
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: there was that scene where she was like, can you

69
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: guys both say what you care about politically and then

70
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 2: we can like talk from there and like not bring

71
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: up like who you hate or like what the other

72
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: side is doing wrong, and just say what you like politically,

73
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: And he kind of couldn't say anything, Like he was

74
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: just like I just think Trump is good, and I

75
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: think you have trumps delusion and like hate everything he does.

76
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 2: And it's like, well that's not an answer.

77
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: I completely agree, but you know, on the other side

78
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: of things, and that's all you're gonna get to hear
