WEBVTT - Man Period

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Find down with Janet Kramler and Michael Coffman and I'm

0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:06.359
<v Speaker 1>her radio podcast.

0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:09.080
<v Speaker 2>We're missing some gold because because Jana is making fun

0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:10.200
<v Speaker 2>of our producer Mark.

0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 3>In fun of him, you know, we're all recording from

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:17.759
<v Speaker 3>our homes. And I just have like really grown to

0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:20.440
<v Speaker 3>love mark ceiling fan. And I think it's a guy thing,

0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:24.240
<v Speaker 3>like I think it's a it's a parent and and

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 3>and guy thing, like guys love ceiling fans.

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Do you think it's I don't know if it's a

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:32.800
<v Speaker 2>guy thing. I know, Mark, to your defense, it wasn't

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 2>until Jana and I got together that she was like, whoa,

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 2>whoa woa ceiling fans. I was like, yeah, of course

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 2>ceiling fans. And she's like, people don't do that.

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:43.920
<v Speaker 3>What do you mean people don't do that? But you

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 3>don't see ceiling fans in houses now. Really they're more

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:49.280
<v Speaker 3>in like your parents' house.

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean, you've definitely conditioned me where now I'm

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 2>judging Mcjudgerson, I'm like, ugh, how dare you ceiling fan?

0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 3>Like I get it for like outside and stuff. You know,

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 3>I love a good sealing fan outside on the screen

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 3>and porch, But I get it like I think that.

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:05.840
<v Speaker 3>I think what some fans are kind of cool like

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 3>and if you have really tall ceilings like those living

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.119
<v Speaker 3>room fans from you know, those are kind of cool.

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 3>But I don't know. Sorry Easton, what do you think

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 3>about ceiling fans?

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 4>I hate them. I hate them more than anything. We

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:21.319
<v Speaker 4>took them out as soon as we moved into this

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 4>beautiful home. It was the biggest blemish on this work

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 4>of art that's our our first home we bought together.

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 4>We ripped those things out with prejudice, took them out.

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 3>And why do you not like them so much? I

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 3>would like to this. I feel like, by the way,

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 3>this podcast is like a Seinfeld episode. We just talked

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 3>about the most random things.

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:42.320
<v Speaker 2>And ceiling fans. Uh.

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.760
<v Speaker 4>You know, for being called a ceiling fan, I'm not

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 4>a fan of them. It's they're Here's what I don't

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 4>like about them. Here's my beef with the ceiling fan.

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 4>I never know when they're on or off. They're always

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 4>going at a weird speed. I never know if I've

0:01:58.600 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 4>turned the monitoring.

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 4>And I feel like, yes, they do circulate air light

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 4>like fine, but I feel like our A C does

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 4>just as good of a job. It doesn't look as bad.

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 4>We can get much cuter lights. Uh, there's I mean,

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 4>this was a ceiling fan at one point. Now it's

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.400
<v Speaker 4>you can't tell them the webcam, but it's a giant

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 4>glowing orb. Now it's I don't know. I just feel

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 4>like it limits you in the light department.

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 3>I would have to agree, and Mark, you know what,

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry if you're if you're the odd man out here,

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 3>but I'm sure there's a lot of people on here

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.079
<v Speaker 3>that are on your side, are on team fan.

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 5>There's two chains. One is for the light and one

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 5>is for the fan.

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>And I have never in my life guessed correctly right never,

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I will agree with that.

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 3>It's so oh for one, it's so true. Mark, that

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.079
<v Speaker 3>is the most accurate thing ever, because it's like you're like,

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 3>just right.

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 2>All right, it's the one closest to the door next time,

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 2>damn it. Well, welcome to another episode of Wine Down

0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 2>with Jenna Kramer and Michael Cousin. That's how we start.

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.519
<v Speaker 3>I love You're welcome. It's just cute. Yeah, no, I

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 3>I anyways, fans, what else were we talking about when

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 3>we started.

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 2>This reading some of our book? Oh?

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I think we should Oh Costco. What happened?

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.639
<v Speaker 2>It's just Jana. I just got home, literally walked in

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 2>the door five minutes ago from Costco, and Jane asked

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.320
<v Speaker 2>me how it was, and that's kind of out of breath.

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm just like Costco is overwhelming. It's just I feel

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>like my head's on a swivel the whole time. Nothing's

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 2>in the same place. The things that Jana asked me

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 2>to get are like the smallest things that are possibly

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 2>in Costco, like vitamin C gummies. You know, if I

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 2>go to Public's or Whole Foods, I know exactly where

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 2>they are. Go to Costco.

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 3>Why do we have because I kind of fought you

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 3>on the membership because I don't think we need the

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 3>membership because we only get two things from Costco these

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 3>Annie's cheddar.

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Puffs that which they didn't have, So what.

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 3>Are you serious?

0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 2>I looked high, low, left, right, up, down, I mean

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:02.119
<v Speaker 2>I looked everywhere.

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>That's the thing with Costco. It's a needle in a haystack.

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 1>But they may have stopped selling needles, yes.

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 3>One see, that's so frustrating. That's the only reason I

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 3>really wanted you to go there and then to get

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 3>the chicken nuggets, the chicken nuggets that we like from there,

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 3>But like, why are we paying that much money for

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 3>two things?

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:20.200
<v Speaker 2>That much money? It's like one hundred and twenty dollars

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 2>a year.

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.599
<v Speaker 3>To me, that's see. So Michael and I have this thing,

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 3>but that's still money that we're not using. Like it

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:31.600
<v Speaker 3>just bothers me. I don't like it. This is where

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 3>I go, you know, I'm just.

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 2>I did get like a twenty pound brisket that I'm

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.839
<v Speaker 2>going to cook because I made that one last weekend.

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 2>It was amazing. And what else did I get?

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Remember when we first went to Costco and I was

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 2>complaining even on your Instagram about chicken bakes. Yes, and

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 2>I was like, this is like really the only reason

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:55.280
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to become a member was to get a

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.840
<v Speaker 2>chicken bake that you get at the little food place

0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 2>after you check out. Well, to my surprise, I'm standing

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:06.279
<v Speaker 2>in line. I look up. There it is. It's on

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 2>the menu.

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.600
<v Speaker 3>It's back wow, gripping.

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.919
<v Speaker 2>So this a three ninety nine piece of heaven. I

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 2>go to the Kiosk, I order one, but the groceries

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 2>in the car I'm ready to take a big old

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 2>bite out of thing. Take a big old bite. It

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:23.159
<v Speaker 2>tasted like it's been marinating in the ocean water for

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 2>sixty days. Salt. This like. I couldn't get home fast

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 2>enough to get something to drink because I had nothing

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 2>in the car. I was like, this is not what

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 2>I remembered when I was ten and going to Costco

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 2>with my parents.

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:35.480
<v Speaker 3>Did you eat it?

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 2>I ate half of it, and I was like, I

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:37.920
<v Speaker 2>can't even do this.

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:39.279
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's so nasty.

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:45.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so interesting. Anyways, that was my morning. Huh huh.

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:49.120
<v Speaker 2>But I did want to start this episode off with

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 2>a more sentimental note until we got got into it.

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 2>Shots fired, shooting at Mark and talking about Costco. Sentimental, yeah,

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.920
<v Speaker 2>or just I think it's a good setup for stuff

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:04.279
<v Speaker 2>that we may read about our book.

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:08.919
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Okay, Like you said you wanted to bring something

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 3>up that was like sentimental.

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:19.360
<v Speaker 2>I think yeah, amidst laughter, No, I think it's you know,

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 2>sometimes we get away from some relational stuff on here,

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 2>besides emails or dms that we bring up. But I

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.839
<v Speaker 2>think it's important, you know, because our whole thing is

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 2>talking about stuff we deal with and being open and everything.

0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:38.359
<v Speaker 2>And I was just driving around town today and you know,

0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.159
<v Speaker 2>there's some physical triggers around town where it's just like

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.479
<v Speaker 2>emotional for me, where it's man, I remember staying in

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 2>this hotel when shit went down, and you know, thinking

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 2>my life was over and our marriage was over, and

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 2>our family was over, and you know, and then thinking

0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 2>about all the negative things that I've done to her,

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:05.359
<v Speaker 2>you and to hurt this family. And I think my

0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 2>point is, you know, I try to do a good job.

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 2>I need to do better at acknowledging these things. Doesn't

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 2>have to be on a super regular basis, but at

0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.080
<v Speaker 2>least bring them to your attention, to let you know

0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 2>that I am thinking of them, that I'm not just

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 2>moved on past them and everything's fine and there's no

0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:30.400
<v Speaker 2>worry in the world and it's just normal, you know.

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 2>But I am sorry for creating, you know, that environment

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 2>and these feelings that we have around whether it's physical

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 2>triggers or just emotional triggers or whatever it is. Because

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 2>I know it's hard to you know, to be married

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 2>to me. I know it's hard to be married to

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 2>someone who's caused you hurt and pain, no matter what

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:58.240
<v Speaker 2>the situation for anybody, And so I just think my

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 2>suggestion suggestion to couples or people in coupleship listening to

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 2>this is just lean into your partner about things that

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 2>you might have done to harm them or harm your relationship,

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 2>even if it's not as obviously not as deep as

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 2>our wounds, but something service level where a fight you

0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 2>had recently and just even if you feel like it's

0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.480
<v Speaker 2>been resolved, go back and just own your part again

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 2>or something, you know, just because that just anytime I

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 2>do that to you, you just you affirm me how

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.680
<v Speaker 2>much that means to you that because then you don't

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:39.520
<v Speaker 2>feel I I can't speak for you, but usually what

0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.720
<v Speaker 2>you tell me is then you don't feel alone and

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 2>like the feelings that you feel and stuff. So no,

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 2>I just felt myself like getting emotional when I was

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 2>driving home. Of just fortunately it wasn't much shame, it

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.920
<v Speaker 2>was just pain. It was just like, damn, like sucks

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.840
<v Speaker 2>that I cause this, you know, sucks that we have

0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:00.319
<v Speaker 2>to feel as sucks that we have to some of

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:04.439
<v Speaker 2>the issues that we deal with. But you know, so

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:05.720
<v Speaker 2>I just want to come home and tell you that

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 2>and just ingratitude that I'm thankful that we're doing what

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:09.440
<v Speaker 2>we're doing.

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.960
<v Speaker 3>Thank you for sharing. I appreciate it, and it does help,

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, because sometimes contrary to what maybe some people

0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.120
<v Speaker 3>may say, like I don't bring it up every day

0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 3>how I feel it, you know, and sometimes I don't

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 3>talk about it for weeks, and I think when knowing that,

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.599
<v Speaker 3>like you also recognize a pain, it's nice to know that,

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:33.199
<v Speaker 3>like I'm not alone in certain pains some days. So

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:35.439
<v Speaker 3>that's a nice So I really appreciate that.

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 2>For sure.

0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.199
<v Speaker 3>We never talked about it, but I'm curious if you

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 3>would share on here. Did you ever figure out your

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 3>man period?

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:46.040
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 3>So that to like make like fun of it. But

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.959
<v Speaker 3>like the other day, Michael was like, I think I'm

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 3>on my man period.

0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.120
<v Speaker 2>So I have a name for it, Oh okay, which

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 2>my therapist called it menopause. No, uh, it's my my comma,

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 2>my comma. You guys have periods.

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:15.640
<v Speaker 3>Interesting because it was just so like, you know, because

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.880
<v Speaker 3>I could tell it you were in a little you

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.320
<v Speaker 3>were just quieter that day, and you know, you were

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:22.439
<v Speaker 3>kind of teary eyed when you were telling me like,

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, but I just feel like I'm on

0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 3>my period. But I like it. You're You're on your comma.

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 3>So what is a comma?

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.400
<v Speaker 2>It's the male version of the period. Just sometimes you

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 2>just have those days it just emotionally hits you. You

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:36.360
<v Speaker 2>don't know why.

0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.160
<v Speaker 3>So there wasn't anything under it, not that.

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 2>You can put your finger on. It was you know, uh,

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:52.120
<v Speaker 2>issues that are there always. But I think it was

0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:58.200
<v Speaker 2>just just one of those days. I just as sad

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:02.680
<v Speaker 2>as it sounds, it was just one of those days.

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:08.199
<v Speaker 2>It was hard being me describe because of like my

0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:14.199
<v Speaker 2>pain and shame, guilt of things that I've done, of

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:19.079
<v Speaker 2>things I haven't done, of just where it's just like

0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 2>most of your like you took it on. You wore that, Yeah,

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Like I wore it like instead of just powering through

0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.520
<v Speaker 2>like I usually do, or it not affected me, or

0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 2>it being a fleeting thought or whatever. You know me,

0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm naturally an optimistic, positive person. So it was just

0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, it was just one of those days

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:39.640
<v Speaker 2>I just couldn't.

0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.800
<v Speaker 3>You tried it out in it and you let it

0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 3>hang on you.

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you wore it. Yeah. So I mean everyone has

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.000
<v Speaker 2>can have those days and where it's just I'm sure

0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.200
<v Speaker 2>to some people it makes a lot of sense. How

0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.319
<v Speaker 2>I say, it's just hard being me, Like you know,

0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:00.560
<v Speaker 2>to some people it might not make sense, like if

0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.560
<v Speaker 2>they say that to themselves. But some can sit there

0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 2>and be like, yeah, it is hard being me today

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 2>for whatever reason, because of stresses, because of responsibilities, because.

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:12.720
<v Speaker 3>Of depression, anxiety.

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Depression anxiety, clinical issues, addiction, whatever it is. It's just

0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.440
<v Speaker 2>something that we're all allowed to have. That we're all

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 2>allowed to have that day. Now you don't want to

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.959
<v Speaker 2>stay in it because then there's more issues around that.

0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 3>How long is your man comma?

0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.839
<v Speaker 2>It was just that day, that day, Yeah, I'm good.

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.600
<v Speaker 3>Now it is interesting too, And I feel like almost

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 3>the timing of your comma was, you know, the night

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:42.839
<v Speaker 3>before we had like a conspiracy theory party where I

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:44.599
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't say party, but like just a get together with

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:48.079
<v Speaker 3>friends and we you know, just kind of had talked

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:51.640
<v Speaker 3>about things and it started to just I mean, I know,

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.720
<v Speaker 3>some of the conversations we were having about anti vaxxers,

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.719
<v Speaker 3>verse vaccinations, and you know, and just other things that

0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.240
<v Speaker 3>like you've always thought and then someone's being like, well

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.480
<v Speaker 3>here's this and having that debate and then you just

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.439
<v Speaker 3>kind of like go to bed and you're like, has

0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:06.480
<v Speaker 3>everything I've learned the last thirty six years of my

0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.760
<v Speaker 3>life a lie you know, and just trying to differentiate

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.520
<v Speaker 3>between that. I figured I make up that that could

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.240
<v Speaker 3>cause like the heaviness as well.

0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 2>The next day, well for sure, especially when we touched

0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.720
<v Speaker 2>on topics like you know, the Epstein Island and Pizzagate

0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:26.040
<v Speaker 2>and the Wayfair stuff, and it's just I mean, you

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.200
<v Speaker 2>saw me getting animated where it's just and again, all

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.719
<v Speaker 2>of this was just We're just having healthy conversation with

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.679
<v Speaker 2>like three other couples and it was just we're all

0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.360
<v Speaker 2>close friends, so no one's taking it personal or debating.

0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:42.640
<v Speaker 2>We're just sharing our our beliefs or thoughts or whatever.

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:44.719
<v Speaker 2>It was just it was interesting. But when it comes

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:49.360
<v Speaker 2>to the kids stuff, it just I it just it

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.439
<v Speaker 2>just gets me. Yeah, you know what I mean, it

0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 2>just it absolutely destroys me internally, and it's like I'm

0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 2>naive where I want to believe that there's humanity is

0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:05.920
<v Speaker 2>better than that overall, but the fact that there's so

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.319
<v Speaker 2>many people involved with all that, it just makes me.

0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 2>It made me sick.

0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:14.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, moving on, let's get on to some other topics,

0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:15.600
<v Speaker 3>but let's first take a break.

0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Mark, do we have any emails?

0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 5>We do have emails. One actually mentions me by a name, which.

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Is very nice. Definitely do that one all right.

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.600
<v Speaker 1>It's from anonymous. She says, I'm pregnant and do soon

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 1>with my second child. This pregnancy has been a struggle

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.960
<v Speaker 1>with so much, with so much anxiety surrounding the pandemic.

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.480
<v Speaker 1>We haven't seen our own parents, who all live pretty

0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:49.440
<v Speaker 1>close by. I thought about the time I was ready

0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 1>to give birth, it we'd be in better shape, but

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 1>it seems to have gotten worse for us here in Florida.

0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>One of my concerns is having or possibly not having

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 1>visitors when we come home from the hospital.

0:14:58.080 --> 0:14:59.720
<v Speaker 5>I don't know how much my parents.

0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Are siblings would take it if we decided to keep

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.160
<v Speaker 1>my family away for a certain amount of time. Do

0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I give a specific time frame, play it by ear

0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:08.200
<v Speaker 1>as to when we feel comfortable, allow them to come

0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.120
<v Speaker 1>over with masks sound, or just allow them to come.

0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:11.000
<v Speaker 5>Over and hope for the best.

0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if my reaction to want some time

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:15.920
<v Speaker 1>is a bit over the top or more of a

0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.960
<v Speaker 1>normal reaction during a pandemic. I'd love to get some input,

0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:21.240
<v Speaker 1>and I'm curious to know what Mark has to say.

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Did she say this is their second child? Yes, and

0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 2>they live away from them, yeah, but not terribly.

0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:31.680
<v Speaker 5>Far away from them.

0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Mark, I would like to know what you think.

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:37.760
<v Speaker 5>I think there's a way to do this. I think

0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:38.280
<v Speaker 5>it would be.

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Here's the problem is, there's a major spectrum of how

0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.680
<v Speaker 1>people tackle the pandemic. And it's not just the people

0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 1>who say it's all a hoax versus the people who

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 1>never leave their house.

0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:51.400
<v Speaker 5>There's everything in between as well.

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 1>And if you are farther towards the careful side, you're

0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:57.800
<v Speaker 1>going to be made fun of by the people that

0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:00.160
<v Speaker 1>are closer towards the other side. No matter where each

0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.080
<v Speaker 1>of you fall on the spectrum, it seems like people

0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.600
<v Speaker 1>roll their eyes even if you're wearing a mask. Everywhere

0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.360
<v Speaker 1>you go, the person with a face shield, you roll

0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:07.760
<v Speaker 1>their eyes with them, you know what I'm saying. Like

0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:10.800
<v Speaker 1>you judge everyone else on the spectrum. So if you

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.440
<v Speaker 1>say to your parents or your husband's parents, you cannot

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:15.800
<v Speaker 1>come over and see the newborn, I'm not comfortable.

0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 5>They're not going to be happy with that. But I

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:19.040
<v Speaker 5>think there is a safe way to do it.

0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I think if you do it in your yard, if

0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:24.000
<v Speaker 1>you do it outside and there are masks, I think

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 1>it will be fine. I do think that that's the

0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.440
<v Speaker 1>new world we live in, that we can go to restaurants,

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:29.920
<v Speaker 1>but it has to be outsided in masks.

0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 5>My daughters can go to dance class, but it.

0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Has to be outside and in masks. That's the world now,

0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.040
<v Speaker 1>and I think that I don't think that's dangerous. I

0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.360
<v Speaker 1>think you're gonna be okay. And yeah, they might not

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 1>be thrilled about it, but it's better than not seeing

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:42.320
<v Speaker 1>their new grandchild.

0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Honey. I agree, Yeah, I mean, I agree, it's it's

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 2>a spectrum. I mean, the thing is is ultimately comes

0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 2>down to her and her husband what they feel most

0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.520
<v Speaker 2>comfortable with. Like, I would never want someone to fault

0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.959
<v Speaker 2>us for being like that. But at the same time,

0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.919
<v Speaker 2>when it's your family and you're not in a different

0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:09.960
<v Speaker 2>state and you still see them from time to time,

0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.920
<v Speaker 2>they're still in your circle of people you see on

0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.040
<v Speaker 2>a regular basis. Now, you don't want the brand new

0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:16.760
<v Speaker 2>friends you just meant to come over and see them.

0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.399
<v Speaker 2>But if it's the people you see on a more

0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.119
<v Speaker 2>regular basis, I don't see the issue.

0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:28.159
<v Speaker 3>I agree, all right, I got something good from our

0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:29.880
<v Speaker 3>book that I want to read.

0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:32.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what you got? Where's it at?

0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 3>So? I'm going to only read some of it because

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:41.159
<v Speaker 3>I want you guys to finish it. I'll stop and

0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:44.720
<v Speaker 3>then i'll show you where to pick up. Okay, page

0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:50.000
<v Speaker 3>thirty three. Okay, So again I'm only giving. And there's

0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:53.960
<v Speaker 3>something so juicy that we have not told anybody. After

0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:57.040
<v Speaker 3>this part, I'm going to read you the beforehand to

0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.200
<v Speaker 3>get you hooked, and then you're going to go on

0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Amazon or on Mike dot com you can get the book.

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:04.800
<v Speaker 3>Here we go. I remember when I heard your side

0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.760
<v Speaker 3>of the street in therapy. I quickly replied, oh, my

0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.760
<v Speaker 3>side of the street is shiny and clean, thank you. Next,

0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.680
<v Speaker 3>it's easy as hell to point the finger at the

0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.000
<v Speaker 3>other person, and I did it for years with Mike.

0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:20.639
<v Speaker 3>I would always think, well, he's the one who looked up,

0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:22.240
<v Speaker 3>so why do I need to look on my side

0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:24.639
<v Speaker 3>of the street when I've done nothing wrong. It's a

0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.960
<v Speaker 3>very narrow minded response, I know. And even though yes,

0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:31.560
<v Speaker 3>I technically did nothing wrong to cause his affairs, how

0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:34.000
<v Speaker 3>I handled our repair is now part of my side

0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.159
<v Speaker 3>of the street. You can play the blame game and

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:39.000
<v Speaker 3>point fingers for only so long. But this realization was

0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.560
<v Speaker 3>slightly annoying for me at first. And took some time,

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:43.720
<v Speaker 3>but I knew the marriage wouldn't work out if I

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.680
<v Speaker 3>didn't put the pointer finger away and start cleaning my

0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:47.520
<v Speaker 3>side of the street.

0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:49.000
<v Speaker 4>So how did I do that?

0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.280
<v Speaker 3>What does that look like look like in action? And

0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.120
<v Speaker 3>how did it make me feel? How did it help us? Well?

0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:54.359
<v Speaker 5>For me?

0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:56.399
<v Speaker 3>This happened while I was doing Dancing with the Stars,

0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:00.200
<v Speaker 3>which began only a few weeks after we separated. Mike

0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.040
<v Speaker 3>was in rehab and I was in an all out

0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.760
<v Speaker 3>war with my emotions. Most days I would push Mike

0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:06.520
<v Speaker 3>out of my brain and try to live in the

0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.320
<v Speaker 3>world as if he didn't exist. Other days I was

0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:12.399
<v Speaker 3>too weak to push and I missed him, and I

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.159
<v Speaker 3>hoped he would be in the audience watching me perform,

0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:18.359
<v Speaker 3>rooting for me, regardless of how I was feeling. Whenever

0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:20.640
<v Speaker 3>he would call me from rehab, I would lash out

0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:22.480
<v Speaker 3>at him, tell him I didn't want anything to do

0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:24.720
<v Speaker 3>with him. I would hang up and realize that I

0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:27.399
<v Speaker 3>had no idea what direction my life was headed in

0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:30.360
<v Speaker 3>or what I should do. The only times that gave

0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:32.920
<v Speaker 3>me calm was when I looked at our baby girl.

0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:35.560
<v Speaker 3>I knew that, regardless of the outcome, I wanted the

0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:40.560
<v Speaker 3>best for her. One night We've never shared this. One night,

0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:43.760
<v Speaker 3>immediately after I'd finished doing the jive on the show,

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:47.959
<v Speaker 3>my manager Catherine sat me down and said, Mike filed

0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:54.000
<v Speaker 3>for divorce. I thought he did what. I called him, screaming,

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.320
<v Speaker 3>how could you file for divorce? That's what I'm supposed

0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:00.680
<v Speaker 3>to do? How dare you? He replied with Jana, you

0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:04.159
<v Speaker 3>won't let me see our daughter. It's true. When he

0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:06.639
<v Speaker 3>had called asking to see her, as it had already

0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.040
<v Speaker 3>been two months since their last visit, I was so

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:11.359
<v Speaker 3>desperate to keep close to me. The one thing that

0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 3>brought me calm that, even though I knew it was

0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:16.040
<v Speaker 3>wrong and would hurt him, I said he couldn't see

0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:20.080
<v Speaker 3>her until I finished filming, which could take a month. Suddenly,

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:22.560
<v Speaker 3>thinking about raising our daughter separately and the beginning of

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:25.280
<v Speaker 3>separate parenting, separate holiday, separate everything, a voice in my

0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:27.399
<v Speaker 3>head finally spoke up in defense of this man in

0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:30.600
<v Speaker 3>our marriage and Jolie. I knew what I wanted, No,

0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:35.159
<v Speaker 3>I said to him, I want to try. And then

0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:37.199
<v Speaker 3>from there I go into other things that I had

0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:41.960
<v Speaker 3>to own, that I did wrong and that I needed

0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:45.639
<v Speaker 3>to own, and stuff that I still don't want to

0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:50.040
<v Speaker 3>say own the mic yet, so I really encourage y'all

0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 3>to buy the book because that's the only way you're

0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:54.240
<v Speaker 3>going to hear it. Michael, would you like to do

0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:57.320
<v Speaker 3>the rebuttal of that part? Yeah, the mic part.

0:20:57.359 --> 0:21:02.280
<v Speaker 2>There were so many days, absolutely, There are so many

0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:05.240
<v Speaker 2>days during the first year of our reconciliation after discovery

0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:07.480
<v Speaker 2>of my affairs, when we thought what the fuck is

0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:11.360
<v Speaker 2>going on? Honestly, most days were like that. We said

0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:15.400
<v Speaker 2>so many hurtful things during those dog days, especially me. Unfortunately,

0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:17.159
<v Speaker 2>when I began to get defensive and go into a

0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:20.040
<v Speaker 2>place of shame, my initial reaction is to get mean

0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:24.160
<v Speaker 2>and nasty and verbally fighting back, which is absolute, which

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.840
<v Speaker 2>is absolutely the last thing Janet deserves after what I

0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:29.920
<v Speaker 2>have already put it through. Needless to say, so many

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:34.640
<v Speaker 2>days were filled with pain, hurt, sadness, and despair. There

0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:37.159
<v Speaker 2>isn't an adjective in the English dictionary that describes how

0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:40.639
<v Speaker 2>hard it was or how unattainable that so called light

0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:43.200
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the tunnel seemed. But even throughout

0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:46.119
<v Speaker 2>those days of misery, we were both still there. We

0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:49.080
<v Speaker 2>both continued to show up, despite the fact that all

0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:51.200
<v Speaker 2>it would take to end that pain was the signature

0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:54.439
<v Speaker 2>at the bottom of divorce papers. We just kept showing up.

0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:57.680
<v Speaker 2>But the more therapy we went to, the more tools

0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:00.320
<v Speaker 2>we learned and began practicing with one another, and more

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 2>we saw that light that once seemed unattainable. That's how

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:05.679
<v Speaker 2>we knew it was all worth it. It was never

0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:08.280
<v Speaker 2>an Aha moment. It was about getting down and dirty

0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:10.920
<v Speaker 2>with one another, trudging through the darkest time of our lives.

0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Nowhere was dirty or during those days than my side

0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:16.800
<v Speaker 2>of the street. And like every act of serious, deep cleaning,

0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:21.000
<v Speaker 2>sometimes it could be daunting. In my case, some days

0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:23.639
<v Speaker 2>it was daunting to the point of paralysis. But the

0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:25.840
<v Speaker 2>promise of keeping my side of the street clean was

0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:29.720
<v Speaker 2>ultimately the reason I was able to stay. Now, some

0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 2>of you may scoff at my saying that I chose

0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:35.440
<v Speaker 2>to stay. Some of you are probably thinking he was

0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:38.200
<v Speaker 2>the one who looked up. Why would he consider not staying?

0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:41.119
<v Speaker 2>I get it, and Janet even said that to me

0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:43.320
<v Speaker 2>your time or two. But it takes work on the

0:22:43.400 --> 0:22:46.080
<v Speaker 2>part of both people to make a relationship worthwhile.

0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:52.040
<v Speaker 3>Boom, go get your book mark. Are you so excited

0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:53.760
<v Speaker 3>for all the juicy details that are.

0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:55.840
<v Speaker 5>To come that's pretty good, pretty good stuff.

0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:02.399
<v Speaker 3>I'll never forget when that happened.

0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:06.480
<v Speaker 2>I was so that call when you called me.

0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I was furious and you're like, well, it's just

0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:12.560
<v Speaker 3>like it's just you know, we can always go I

0:23:12.640 --> 0:23:15.359
<v Speaker 3>was like, you don't understand if I if I now

0:23:15.720 --> 0:23:18.200
<v Speaker 3>like and put it in papers too. I was like,

0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:22.040
<v Speaker 3>it's done. There's no going back. Like my lawyer wouldn't

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:24.560
<v Speaker 3>have it like we would. We would just go for it.

0:23:24.680 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, I want to see my daughter.

0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:27.879
<v Speaker 2>It's been seventy days.

0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:30.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, you could have called me and told me.

0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:34.080
<v Speaker 2>I tried, you kept hanging up and mothercking me.

0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:37.399
<v Speaker 3>I'm just saying next time. You could have been like

0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:39.840
<v Speaker 3>if you don't like you, I would have liked the threat.

0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, fine, no the threat. No, you wouldn't even take

0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:46.280
<v Speaker 2>my call. So I didn't. I couldn't even get the

0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 2>threat across and then go ahead.

0:23:51.920 --> 0:23:54.240
<v Speaker 5>When she called when she said I want to try,

0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:56.960
<v Speaker 5>what was your reaction like? Was it relief? Was it

0:23:57.080 --> 0:23:57.879
<v Speaker 5>excitement or.

0:23:58.040 --> 0:24:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Was it She didn't say she said it to herself.

0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:02.760
<v Speaker 2>She will so you no.

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:04.639
<v Speaker 3>What I said to him, I was like, you have

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 3>to reverse it. If you do not reverse this divorce

0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:09.920
<v Speaker 3>right now, like you do not understand, I'm gonna have to,

0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:13.320
<v Speaker 3>like because my lawyer was like, you need to file now,

0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:17.200
<v Speaker 3>and I was like and and my friend Catherine was

0:24:17.240 --> 0:24:18.960
<v Speaker 3>just like, but isn't this what you want? And I'm like,

0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:20.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what I want, Like I don't know.

0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:22.200
<v Speaker 3>I just know that I don't want to make such

0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:24.520
<v Speaker 3>a like rash decision. And if he files, then I

0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:26.960

0:25:56.600 --> 0:25:58.320
<v Speaker 3>were going to file one thousand percent, because that's not

0:25:58.359 --> 0:25:58.800
<v Speaker 3>what I wanted.

0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:00.920
<v Speaker 2>You wouldn't believe me. You wouldn't believe me, and you

0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:03.800
<v Speaker 2>would have been like, F you you don't get the file,

<v Speaker 2>a'll file.

0:26:05.480 --> 0:26:13.160
<v Speaker 3>I probably would have yes, like I know you where

0:26:13.200 --> 0:26:14.960
<v Speaker 3>I was at then? Yeah, sure, you know what.

0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:18.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I've I don't know if I shared

0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:23.679
<v Speaker 2>this on here or not. I don't know. So were

0:26:23.720 --> 0:26:25.520
<v Speaker 2>you reading that stuff when you're talking about dancing in

0:26:25.520 --> 0:26:30.639
<v Speaker 2>the stars reminded me of this sad, sad memory of that.

0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:35.720
<v Speaker 2>And it was when it was when was it that

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:39.119
<v Speaker 2>you guys danced at the Grove? Were you already voted off?

0:26:39.200 --> 0:26:41.280
<v Speaker 3>I was voted off? It was that was the finale

0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:43.920
<v Speaker 3>and I was singing right, that was it? That hurts

0:26:43.960 --> 0:26:44.879
<v Speaker 3>my heart too, I know.

0:26:45.680 --> 0:26:48.720
<v Speaker 2>So at that point I was in la with them.

0:26:49.960 --> 0:26:53.840
<v Speaker 2>It was a finale. I'd gone. You had me at

0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:55.639
<v Speaker 2>one show, the show that.

0:26:55.880 --> 0:26:58.800
<v Speaker 3>We really messed up on the semi finals where I

0:26:59.000 --> 0:27:00.080
<v Speaker 3>like fell, blood.

0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Fell, Yeah, Glove was Glove was nervous. Oh Jesus, the

0:27:05.600 --> 0:27:10.520
<v Speaker 2>man was back. No, it's uh, it was it was

0:27:10.560 --> 0:27:14.439
<v Speaker 2>a finale and you know you had some of your

0:27:14.480 --> 0:27:17.320
<v Speaker 2>girlfriends there and like your former music manager and stuff

0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:18.960
<v Speaker 2>like that, and they were all with you, and I

0:27:19.080 --> 0:27:21.000
<v Speaker 2>was just kind of that whole time. I was just

0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:26.439
<v Speaker 2>uncomfortable being there anyway around you and around your people

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:31.480
<v Speaker 2>and stuff. So they all were like inside the gates

0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:36.800
<v Speaker 2>at the Grove like with you. I was not. So

0:27:37.080 --> 0:27:39.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm at the Grove trying to find a space to

0:27:39.880 --> 0:27:44.520
<v Speaker 2>watch I'm at that uh, that Italian restaurant there on

0:27:44.560 --> 0:27:46.240
<v Speaker 2>the corner right by where the fountain is where they

0:27:46.280 --> 0:27:49.000
<v Speaker 2>put the stage, and I'm like trying to find a

0:27:49.040 --> 0:27:50.840
<v Speaker 2>place to get close and see her. And so I

0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:53.000
<v Speaker 2>go upstairsly this like second floor balcony that kind of

0:27:53.040 --> 0:27:54.600
<v Speaker 2>overlooks it. I was like, oh, this perk spot just

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:57.520
<v Speaker 2>kind of stand here in this corner. And this guy

0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:01.040
<v Speaker 2>that's i don't know, working security or something comes over

0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:02.560
<v Speaker 2>to me and he's like, hey, this is like a

0:28:02.600 --> 0:28:06.000
<v Speaker 2>private party up here. You can't be up here, and

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:08.720
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I'm sorry to intrude. I was like,

0:28:08.840 --> 0:28:12.000
<v Speaker 2>my wife is gonna sing. She's right down there, like

0:28:12.080 --> 0:28:13.639
<v Speaker 2>she's gonna sing, like you know. I just wanted to

0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:16.159
<v Speaker 2>get spot to watch her. And he was like no, no,

0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:17.399
<v Speaker 2>like you can't be up here. So I was like,

0:28:17.440 --> 0:28:19.200
<v Speaker 2>I get it, but my wife. He's like, if that

0:28:19.320 --> 0:28:22.119
<v Speaker 2>was your wife, you would be down there. And I

0:28:22.359 --> 0:28:29.119
<v Speaker 2>was just like and so I just walked away. I

0:28:29.280 --> 0:28:31.520
<v Speaker 2>went downstairs, and I just left the grove and I

0:28:31.680 --> 0:28:35.400
<v Speaker 2>was just I just walked till I met you. Tell

0:28:35.480 --> 0:28:37.160
<v Speaker 2>you guys were done, and I met you guys back

0:28:37.200 --> 0:28:39.480
<v Speaker 2>at your trailer. I was able to get back around there,

0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:41.840
<v Speaker 2>but just having that guy look at me like I

0:28:42.000 --> 0:28:46.360
<v Speaker 2>was just so small and just insignificant as like a person,

0:28:46.720 --> 0:28:49.400
<v Speaker 2>not like stature, but just as a person, just being like, dude,

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:51.240
<v Speaker 2>you're a freaking joke, Like if that was your wife,

0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:53.520
<v Speaker 2>you would be down there. And I was just like

0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:59.120
<v Speaker 2>I felt like I was an inch tall. I'm sorry,

0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:01.520
<v Speaker 2>come on, I mean it's you know, it's just one

0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 2>of those memories.

0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:12.280
<v Speaker 3>Well yeah, but life. Look at us now, We've got

0:29:12.320 --> 0:29:17.800
<v Speaker 3>a book. It's coming out together. We're fighting a good fight.

0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:32.040
<v Speaker 3>That's right, baby, Mark, will you will you read us

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:32.880
<v Speaker 3>an email?

0:29:33.760 --> 0:29:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Sure?

0:29:34.200 --> 0:29:36.640
<v Speaker 1>This is also anonymous. My boyfriend and I have been

0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:39.000
<v Speaker 1>together for just over a year. When we started dating,

0:29:39.040 --> 0:29:41.000
<v Speaker 1>we both knew I was moving to Australia to do

0:29:41.120 --> 0:29:44.240
<v Speaker 1>my master's degree. In February of twenty one, we moved

0:29:44.280 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 1>in together after six months of dated because it was

0:29:46.320 --> 0:29:48.840
<v Speaker 1>important to me to know that how that would go

0:29:49.200 --> 0:29:51.080
<v Speaker 1>before we decided if he was going to come with me.

0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:54.440
<v Speaker 1>This entire time, he has been unwavering saying he is

0:29:54.520 --> 0:29:57.000
<v Speaker 1>coming with me to Australia. However, it's now time for

0:29:57.120 --> 0:29:59.440
<v Speaker 1>us to start getting things paid for and sorted out,

0:29:59.480 --> 0:30:02.360
<v Speaker 1>and he isn't formed me that he has not started saving.

0:30:02.840 --> 0:30:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I laid out his expenses for him months ago, but

0:30:05.360 --> 0:30:07.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to go so far as policing his finances

0:30:07.800 --> 0:30:10.680
<v Speaker 1>for him. He makes twice as much as me. I've

0:30:10.720 --> 0:30:13.280
<v Speaker 1>been laid off because of COVID. I'm going to have

0:30:13.400 --> 0:30:16.040
<v Speaker 1>tuition on top of other expenses, and I'm ready.

0:30:16.520 --> 0:30:19.520
<v Speaker 5>So why isn't he? Is it wrong that I'm frustrated

0:30:19.600 --> 0:30:21.200
<v Speaker 5>in questioning our future because of this?

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:26.200
<v Speaker 3>No, No, I don't think so at all. I think

0:30:26.280 --> 0:30:29.160
<v Speaker 3>that's something you have to do. I think it's a

0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:32.840
<v Speaker 3>conversation that you know, we have. I think I think

0:30:32.880 --> 0:30:36.560
<v Speaker 3>a lot of marriages have conversations about money and budgets

0:30:36.640 --> 0:30:39.280
<v Speaker 3>and every respect and yeah, I think every marriage, And

0:30:39.280 --> 0:30:41.280
<v Speaker 3>I think that's healthy to have that. And I don't

0:30:41.280 --> 0:30:45.160
<v Speaker 3>think that's I think that's a conversation that you know

0:30:45.400 --> 0:30:48.920
<v Speaker 3>needs to have so that you guys are on the

0:30:48.960 --> 0:30:52.080
<v Speaker 3>same page because you don't want that to that's that's

0:30:52.160 --> 0:30:56.240
<v Speaker 3>it shows kind of his value of the dollar and

0:30:56.320 --> 0:30:56.800
<v Speaker 3>everything too.

0:30:57.200 --> 0:31:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, It's it's almost like it was a you and

0:31:00.640 --> 0:31:04.080
<v Speaker 2>test in this, like in this situation of how he

0:31:04.120 --> 0:31:09.440
<v Speaker 2>would be with finances, not forever, but in the foreseeable future.

0:31:09.520 --> 0:31:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Because if she just said, out of responsibility, hey, this

0:31:12.560 --> 0:31:13.720
<v Speaker 2>is what we need to do. She even laid it

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:15.560
<v Speaker 2>out for him, Hey, if you're really serious about this,

0:31:15.680 --> 0:31:17.080
<v Speaker 2>like this is what we need to do to make

0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:21.040
<v Speaker 2>it happen, and he just dump paying the attention to it,

0:31:21.120 --> 0:31:21.480
<v Speaker 2>I'd be.

0:31:21.520 --> 0:31:24.360
<v Speaker 3>Like, hmm, oh, well, I think too. It's like, don't

0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:26.200
<v Speaker 3>just like be like I can't do this, I'm done,

0:31:26.280 --> 0:31:28.160
<v Speaker 3>but just have more of a conversation around it two

0:31:28.400 --> 0:31:31.880
<v Speaker 3>to be like, hey, this kind of bothered me and

0:31:32.000 --> 0:31:33.680
<v Speaker 3>frustrated me, and I'm a little concerned.

0:31:34.200 --> 0:31:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh for sure, But I feel like.

0:31:36.240 --> 0:31:38.080
<v Speaker 3>That puts a lot of pressure on you too, Like

0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:40.680
<v Speaker 3>if someone moved out for me, Like I mean, I

0:31:40.720 --> 0:31:43.240
<v Speaker 3>remember talking to my high school sweetheart about it when

0:31:43.280 --> 0:31:47.960
<v Speaker 3>I lived in California. I almost felt like a responsibility

0:31:48.000 --> 0:31:49.680
<v Speaker 3>that like I would have to then stay with him

0:31:49.760 --> 0:31:53.120
<v Speaker 3>because I'm the reason that he would have moved out

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:56.600
<v Speaker 3>to California. So then I would have like maybe stayed

0:31:56.640 --> 0:31:59.320
<v Speaker 3>with him longer because I felt bad that I relocated

0:31:59.400 --> 0:32:01.640
<v Speaker 3>him and that that sucks too for that person.

0:32:02.320 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, Jack, just like when I moved to Nashville for you, you,

0:32:07.680 --> 0:32:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Janna was trying to pimp me out to every like

0:32:11.360 --> 0:32:15.200
<v Speaker 2>boyfriend or husband, to all of her girlfriends, like anytime, Oh,

0:32:15.320 --> 0:32:17.120
<v Speaker 2>get each other's numbers? Do you like golf? Oh he

0:32:17.280 --> 0:32:18.880
<v Speaker 2>likes off? Do you like this? Do you think I'm

0:32:18.920 --> 0:32:22.520
<v Speaker 2>just like honey, like it'll happen like platonically, Like you

0:32:22.600 --> 0:32:25.000
<v Speaker 2>can't just be like take one number, take take his number,

0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:26.440
<v Speaker 2>take his number. Okay, no, I want to see you.

0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:28.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's awkward when guys like get each other's number.

0:32:28.560 --> 0:32:30.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why. I just kind of is sometimes

0:32:30.400 --> 0:32:32.200
<v Speaker 2>and Jan's like sitting there watching us to make sure

0:32:32.240 --> 0:32:33.000
<v Speaker 2>we get each other's.

0:32:32.880 --> 0:32:35.880
<v Speaker 3>Number, and it's like, Okay, I just want you to

0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:36.680
<v Speaker 3>have friends, I.

0:32:36.760 --> 0:32:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Know, But that's what I'm saying. To your point, you

0:32:38.560 --> 0:32:41.920
<v Speaker 2>took on the responsibility. It's like my happy, my happiness.

0:32:42.400 --> 0:32:46.240
<v Speaker 2>You made your responsibility because someone moves moves somewhere for you,

0:32:46.600 --> 0:32:47.920
<v Speaker 2>So I could see how that is a lot of

0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:52.960
<v Speaker 2>pressure on the person that's you know, the inspiration for

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:53.680
<v Speaker 2>someone to move.

0:32:53.960 --> 0:32:55.200
<v Speaker 3>All right, bye guys.

0:33:00.720 --> 0:33:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah,
