WEBVTT - Reality Bites

0:00:01.930 --> 0:00:05.370
<v Speaker 1>Wind Down with Jana Kramer, an iHeartRadio podcast.

0:00:06.700 --> 0:00:08.310
<v Speaker 2>Okay, ladies, headlines.

0:00:08.890 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:00:09.980 --> 0:00:13.000
<v Speaker 2>First and foremost, I need to know if you guys

0:00:13.020 --> 0:00:15.740
<v Speaker 2>watch Love is Blind. Katherine, I know I forced you

0:00:15.780 --> 0:00:19.420
<v Speaker 2>when you were in Kelowna to watch some, the wedding part,

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:21.640
<v Speaker 2>but have you watched anything?

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.419
<v Speaker 3>I have watched everything up until the weddings. I'm like

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:29.980
<v Speaker 3>so close. I don't think I can get behind this.

0:00:30.660 --> 0:00:31.140
<v Speaker 2>Love is Blind?

0:00:31.650 --> 0:00:32.610
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't think I can.

0:00:32.870 --> 0:00:35.190
<v Speaker 3>I love Love is Blind. And that's interesting because I

0:00:35.210 --> 0:00:36.050
<v Speaker 3>really don't like reality.

0:00:36.190 --> 0:00:36.810
<v Speaker 1>It's still what?

0:00:37.010 --> 0:00:37.229
<v Speaker 3>How?

0:00:37.630 --> 0:00:40.790
<v Speaker 1>This is what I need the answer to. How long

0:00:40.850 --> 0:00:42.229
<v Speaker 1>is the entire process?

0:00:43.909 --> 0:00:46.100
<v Speaker 3>I'm guessing this last season, I felt like they gave

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:48.500
<v Speaker 3>us more intel on the back end. Like it sounded

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 3>like 30 days, like three weeks.

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:51.780
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy.

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.060
<v Speaker 3>But it sounds like they date in the pods for

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.660
<v Speaker 3>like 10 days and then it's vacation and then it's

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.970
<v Speaker 3>weddings and then they return to like the world. Okay.

0:01:01.090 --> 0:01:03.470
<v Speaker 1>But anyways, I did enjoy it when I watched it

0:01:03.510 --> 0:01:03.889
<v Speaker 1>with you there.

0:01:04.850 --> 0:01:11.030
<v Speaker 2>So I will say this. So the headline is Love

0:01:11.069 --> 0:01:13.330
<v Speaker 2>is Blind Reunion. So John Shannon admits he cheated on

0:01:13.370 --> 0:01:18.090
<v Speaker 2>wife Sarah before divorce with graphic text to a stripper.

0:01:18.170 --> 0:01:22.780
<v Speaker 2>So he went out. I mean, the reunion was wild.

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.020
<v Speaker 2>I love, first and foremost, Sarah was my favorite of

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:27.319
<v Speaker 2>the season.

0:01:27.340 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Same.

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Same. She's just like, I just love.

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 3>Her so much.

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:36.680
<v Speaker 2>I think she's, her whole just like energy and demeanor

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:40.100
<v Speaker 2>and how she speaks. And I just, I was just,

0:01:40.620 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 2>she was a fan favorite. Like I loved her. And

0:01:44.660 --> 0:01:46.700
<v Speaker 2>then I liked John. I did. I thought he was,

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there was a few things that like his plays,

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.850
<v Speaker 2>but you know, there's things that can maybe be, you know,

0:01:54.910 --> 0:01:57.490
<v Speaker 2>work around a bit, but I, I, I didn't like,

0:01:57.510 --> 0:01:59.230
<v Speaker 2>I thought they were cute together. I really did. Um,

0:02:00.510 --> 0:02:03.830
<v Speaker 2>but apparently they exchanged, he exchanged graphic texts with a

0:02:03.850 --> 0:02:06.590
<v Speaker 2>stripper who was also an escort. However, he claims that

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 2>nothing physical happened between them. So on the reunion, uh,

0:02:12.100 --> 0:02:14.920
<v Speaker 2>and during the reunion, Sarah revealed that this cheating scandal

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 2>wasn't the only problem in their marriage. She'd say that

0:02:16.740 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 2>John had a tendency to react harshly during disagreements and

0:02:21.050 --> 0:02:25.270
<v Speaker 2>And often would use name calling and insult her. She's

0:02:25.290 --> 0:02:27.290
<v Speaker 2>never been spoken to like that ever by a man.

0:02:27.389 --> 0:02:30.410
<v Speaker 2>And I will just say that like how she was

0:02:30.430 --> 0:02:33.630
<v Speaker 2>just so classy on that reunion. I just made me

0:02:33.669 --> 0:02:35.740
<v Speaker 2>love her more, but also that how she put her

0:02:35.750 --> 0:02:38.350
<v Speaker 2>foot down and she has such strong boundaries. And I

0:02:38.410 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 2>wish I could have said the same back then. And,

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, when a man spoke not nice to me

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 2>or did something that I could be like, you know what,

0:02:45.460 --> 0:02:47.460
<v Speaker 2>I don't deserve this and I'm done, you know, and

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:52.139
<v Speaker 2>I'm moving on. But, I mean, you guys didn't watch

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:53.980
<v Speaker 2>the reunion, so we can't chat about that. But I

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.340
<v Speaker 2>guess I'll go to, I mean, do you consider it

0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 2>cheating even though it wasn't physical?

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.620
<v Speaker 3>Well, first of all, I did see glimpses. I'm not

0:03:01.690 --> 0:03:04.950
<v Speaker 3>a John fan and I haven't been. So I didn't

0:03:04.990 --> 0:03:09.210
<v Speaker 3>like them together. I think he outkicked his coverage. I

0:03:09.250 --> 0:03:11.090
<v Speaker 3>felt that way the whole time. So even when we

0:03:11.130 --> 0:03:13.050
<v Speaker 3>were like chatting on the group chat and I was like, ah,

0:03:13.090 --> 0:03:19.020
<v Speaker 3>don't spoil. I am actually shocked it was him. And

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 3>not that I thought it would be her. I just

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 3>am shocked that they even got that far because he's

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:28.410
<v Speaker 3>just not my favorite. And I saw glimpses of the

0:03:28.450 --> 0:03:30.730
<v Speaker 3>way he treated people when he took the call to

0:03:30.770 --> 0:03:34.570
<v Speaker 3>pay the bill. Oh, yeah. He handled like the lost luggage,

0:03:34.669 --> 0:03:37.330
<v Speaker 3>like all of that. I was like, this is like

0:03:38.150 --> 0:03:41.230
<v Speaker 3>this is a character. This is a characteristic that's a

0:03:41.230 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 3>little deep seated. And in my experience, if someone can

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.180
<v Speaker 3>be that way somewhere, they can be that way everywhere. Yeah.

0:03:48.740 --> 0:03:50.260
<v Speaker 2>I didn't like that. I didn't like that either. That

0:03:50.310 --> 0:03:51.940
<v Speaker 2>was when I started to not love it.

0:03:53.250 --> 0:03:56.730
<v Speaker 3>And so it's not shocking to me that that bled

0:03:56.790 --> 0:04:01.050
<v Speaker 3>over into other areas of life. But I just think

0:04:01.090 --> 0:04:05.510
<v Speaker 3>she's so wildly compassionate. The fact that he's been diagnosed

0:04:05.530 --> 0:04:08.370
<v Speaker 3>with MS and that was no big deal to her.

0:04:08.630 --> 0:04:10.630
<v Speaker 3>She just took it all on and was like, of course,

0:04:10.850 --> 0:04:13.430
<v Speaker 3>we'll face it together. All of that. I just feel

0:04:13.450 --> 0:04:16.289
<v Speaker 3>like she's so professional and so mature that.

0:04:18.110 --> 0:04:20.690
<v Speaker 3>Shame on him, first of all. But I also do

0:04:20.730 --> 0:04:22.330
<v Speaker 3>consider it cheating, to answer your question.

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.820
<v Speaker 2>So you consider, even though it wasn't physical, him texting

0:04:25.860 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 2>with her, like, would that be something that is a boundary? Yeah,

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:31.559
<v Speaker 2>so you would consider that cheating?

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:36.700
<v Speaker 3>I do. Because I don't, I mean, what else is it, right?

0:04:37.260 --> 0:04:39.300
<v Speaker 3>It's not acceptable. It's not appropriate.

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:40.540
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:04:40.580 --> 0:04:44.860
<v Speaker 3>So it is cheating. Especially when we're talking about strippers

0:04:44.900 --> 0:04:49.020
<v Speaker 3>and escorts and exchanging information. Was it pictures as well?

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.140
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Yeah.

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.250
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what's the point if it's not to go

0:04:54.310 --> 0:04:58.430
<v Speaker 1>against your wife? You know, like what's the, you know, yes.

0:04:58.470 --> 0:05:00.150
<v Speaker 2>You know, like guys, a lot of guys that will

0:05:00.170 --> 0:05:03.810
<v Speaker 2>do that, it's for validation. You know, again, he says

0:05:03.870 --> 0:05:09.150
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't physical, but I still think it's an emotional.

0:05:10.470 --> 0:05:10.990
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely.

0:05:11.310 --> 0:05:15.750
<v Speaker 2>I still think it's obviously trust, you know, that's, and

0:05:15.790 --> 0:05:18.900
<v Speaker 2>it's still, I mean, I consider it cheating as well.

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.419
<v Speaker 2>But I know certain people have different opinions on, well,

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.950
<v Speaker 2>if it wasn't physical, then what really makes that cheating?

0:05:27.529 --> 0:05:29.310
<v Speaker 2>But I think when you cross over a boundary, those

0:05:29.330 --> 0:05:31.270
<v Speaker 2>are things that you have to for yourself. Like if

0:05:31.310 --> 0:05:33.490
<v Speaker 2>it's a boundary for your relationship, clearly you shouldn't be

0:05:33.670 --> 0:05:35.090
<v Speaker 2>talking to another woman like that.

0:05:36.310 --> 0:05:39.930
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but so, like, in my brain, it is cheating

0:05:39.950 --> 0:05:40.970
<v Speaker 3>because what else can it be, right?

0:05:41.270 --> 0:05:41.990
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm saying.

0:05:42.029 --> 0:05:44.490
<v Speaker 3>Like, what else is an indiscrepancy or something?

0:05:44.550 --> 0:05:47.430
<v Speaker 2>It became really unclassy, in my opinion. The whole, like,

0:05:47.890 --> 0:05:51.800
<v Speaker 2>everyone just, like, yelling at everybody. Well, it's a little Boston.

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:52.460
<v Speaker 3>We can't forget.

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Boston's a little heated. As, like, a viewer, I was like,

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.780
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe I'm watching this. Like, this is getting, like,

0:05:58.740 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 2>this is– I'm embarrassed. Like, the whole everyone's like, oh, yeah,

0:06:02.790 --> 0:06:05.180
<v Speaker 2>you shut up. I'm like, okay, and you're right. So

0:06:05.220 --> 0:06:08.669
<v Speaker 2>I'm just like, to a lot of people, like into

0:06:08.710 --> 0:06:10.490
<v Speaker 2>his dad, he's like, it was a mistake. Like people

0:06:10.529 --> 0:06:13.170
<v Speaker 2>make mistakes. And I'm not like, I'm also one to say,

0:06:13.190 --> 0:06:16.570
<v Speaker 2>I do think, you know, and I'm literally talking to

0:06:16.589 --> 0:06:18.740
<v Speaker 2>someone right now in my DMs, a girl going through this,

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:20.780
<v Speaker 2>you know, her husband, she's like, I just found text

0:06:20.820 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>messages between my husband and an employer that's inappropriate. And

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, you know, I'm trying to like help her.

0:06:27.260 --> 0:06:28.900
<v Speaker 2>And sometimes, like I said, I've, you know, I'll DM

0:06:28.940 --> 0:06:33.590
<v Speaker 2>people and she's like, I'm broken, like, you know, blah, blah, blah.

0:06:33.630 --> 0:06:36.870
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, I still think that like guys make stupid,

0:06:37.490 --> 0:06:39.420
<v Speaker 2>they do stupid things like that. And I do think

0:06:39.450 --> 0:06:42.779
<v Speaker 2>that you can still work through that in your marriage

0:06:42.820 --> 0:06:45.919
<v Speaker 2>if it wasn't like a physical aspect of it. Sure. No,

0:06:45.940 --> 0:06:47.900
<v Speaker 2>like I still think you can, I'm still a believer

0:06:47.940 --> 0:06:51.300
<v Speaker 2>that even if someone cheats, like they won't cheat again.

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 2>And I do believe that there's cases obviously like in

0:06:55.140 --> 0:06:57.620
<v Speaker 2>mine where that's just who they are and they're going

0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 2>to keep doing it. But I think sometimes like in

0:07:01.220 --> 0:07:05.330
<v Speaker 2>the defense of, you know, Certain times where people do things,

0:07:05.370 --> 0:07:07.550
<v Speaker 2>they're in a low spot, doesn't make any excuse for

0:07:07.570 --> 0:07:10.010
<v Speaker 2>their behavior at all. It's a huge boundary. It's a

0:07:10.070 --> 0:07:12.510
<v Speaker 2>huge betrayal break. But I do think if you're in

0:07:12.550 --> 0:07:14.910
<v Speaker 2>a marriage and, you know, someone makes a mistake, we

0:07:14.930 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't just be like, well, it's done unless, you know,

0:07:18.340 --> 0:07:20.520
<v Speaker 2>it's a big boundary that you can't get past. You know,

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.500
<v Speaker 2>I think there are certain gray areas with a message sent.

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.940
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I also just think like for us, we had

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.550
<v Speaker 3>to establish like, you know, Preston's in music, which is

0:07:31.390 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 3>all inappropriate. Like, almost all of our industry, almost all

0:07:35.260 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 3>of his job is not appropriate. There's no HR company

0:07:39.460 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 3>there or HR department. There's no, you know, so like

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.850
<v Speaker 3>calls at 11 calls at 1am, like it's all whatever.

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.710
<v Speaker 3>And I think we had to establish that if it was,

0:07:50.830 --> 0:07:52.450
<v Speaker 3>and we do this even with, I do this with

0:07:52.470 --> 0:07:54.470
<v Speaker 3>the kids. Like if it's not something you were say

0:07:54.570 --> 0:07:56.410
<v Speaker 3>or do, if that person was next to you, then

0:07:56.430 --> 0:07:58.530
<v Speaker 3>don't say or do it if they're not next to you. Yeah.

0:07:59.170 --> 0:08:02.930
<v Speaker 1>I think that you can't, fault someone for staying in

0:08:02.970 --> 0:08:06.150
<v Speaker 1>that situation, whether physical or not physical, but you also

0:08:06.180 --> 0:08:08.840
<v Speaker 1>can't fault someone for saying, you know what, this was

0:08:08.900 --> 0:08:11.460
<v Speaker 1>my line and you crossed it and I'm out. I

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:14.500
<v Speaker 1>think that I think it's everyone has different boundaries and

0:08:14.540 --> 0:08:17.060
<v Speaker 1>different things that they can handle. And I think sometimes

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.270
<v Speaker 1>you have to recognize that what you can and can't take.

0:08:20.410 --> 0:08:22.630
<v Speaker 1>I would think that you would have a harder time

0:08:22.710 --> 0:08:26.750
<v Speaker 1>handling physical cheating now that you've been through that. And

0:08:27.130 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 1>your line would probably be different after going through that. Right.

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:35.440
<v Speaker 1>And let's just be real. You're doing maybe 30 days,

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:39.030
<v Speaker 1>maybe 60, maybe a little bit more. And you can't

0:08:39.130 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 1>see every part of someone in that time. things are

0:08:42.620 --> 0:08:45.370
<v Speaker 1>going to show itself later, you know, and to the

0:08:45.410 --> 0:08:48.030
<v Speaker 1>way he was speaking to her and maybe not knowing that,

0:08:48.050 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 1>like that is pretty easy to hide for probably 30 days.

0:08:51.580 --> 0:08:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:08:51.940 --> 0:08:54.370
<v Speaker 3>I think like for me, it's just the accountability. Like,

0:08:54.830 --> 0:08:56.450
<v Speaker 3>It's one thing to make a mistake. And if you

0:08:56.490 --> 0:08:58.770
<v Speaker 3>can't own it and continue to like.

0:08:59.010 --> 0:09:01.370
<v Speaker 2>The reunion, he was like, he was very accountable. Like

0:09:01.410 --> 0:09:03.130
<v Speaker 2>he was even like, dad, please be quiet. Like I

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.199
<v Speaker 2>personally love the accountability that he brought. Where I don't

0:09:06.220 --> 0:09:09.860
<v Speaker 2>think accountability was brought was Michaela's ex.

0:09:10.340 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 3>And what's wild to me too. And like, listen, I

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:17.589
<v Speaker 3>give some, I don't want to say some grace, but like,

0:09:18.230 --> 0:09:22.390
<v Speaker 3>I started to fully understand Rob's issues when I could

0:09:22.429 --> 0:09:25.209
<v Speaker 3>understand that he just lost his dad three months before.

0:09:25.630 --> 0:09:29.930
<v Speaker 3>That's huge. And then he had lost two best friends.

0:09:30.170 --> 0:09:34.740
<v Speaker 3>And so he's coming into this wanting a wife, but

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:38.740
<v Speaker 3>not healed. He also, I mean, the guy's night, the

0:09:38.780 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 3>guy's night situation with Rob and his friends, I couldn't

0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:44.800
<v Speaker 3>even process what was happening. It was happening so quick.

0:09:45.500 --> 0:09:48.489
<v Speaker 3>But It also just felt like we're with a bunch

0:09:48.510 --> 0:09:51.100
<v Speaker 3>of guys that don't, I mean, like still obviously enjoy

0:09:51.140 --> 0:09:54.220
<v Speaker 3>partying a ton. Like it's zero to 60. It's just,

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.410
<v Speaker 3>it was, that was really disheartening to me because I

0:09:57.450 --> 0:10:02.340
<v Speaker 3>feel like Michaela is just a respectable professional. She was

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.500
<v Speaker 3>in like, she was open. She was on that to

0:10:04.540 --> 0:10:05.200
<v Speaker 3>find a husband.

0:10:06.179 --> 0:10:06.420
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:10:07.260 --> 0:10:08.080
<v Speaker 3>And to own her stuff.

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think, I mean, listen, we're all the broken

0:10:11.740 --> 0:10:14.720
<v Speaker 2>peeps coming when we go into relationships, but it's just

0:10:14.740 --> 0:10:17.069
<v Speaker 2>really sad when boundaries get broken and you have to

0:10:17.110 --> 0:10:18.690
<v Speaker 2>figure out what works for you and what don't and

0:10:18.750 --> 0:10:19.929
<v Speaker 2>what you can forgive and what you can't.

0:10:20.700 --> 0:10:22.360
<v Speaker 3>And what you can own. Yeah.

0:10:22.900 --> 0:10:26.679
<v Speaker 2>And the accountability piece. So is is definitely huge. But

0:10:26.740 --> 0:10:29.420
<v Speaker 2>I also will say I love how I just love

0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.380
<v Speaker 2>that these women are in their 30s and they're like, no,

0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.739
<v Speaker 2>I don't deserve that. And I'm like, I even told Kat,

0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:35.620
<v Speaker 2>I think I was talking to Pamela and I'm like,

0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 2>we were talking about Michaela. And I'm like, the fact

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.740
<v Speaker 2>that she's witnessed that and was like, I don't deserve that.

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.620
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, what I would have given of that in

0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.599
<v Speaker 2>my soul. in my early thirties, the first time I

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.600
<v Speaker 2>got cheated on to be like, nope, don't deserve that. Now, granted,

0:10:51.620 --> 0:10:54.000
<v Speaker 2>I have a very, you know, beautiful children now, but

0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.750
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, and even before, like everything led me to

0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.190
<v Speaker 2>where I am now, but I'm like, I'm like, I

0:10:59.270 --> 0:11:01.170
<v Speaker 2>want some of what those girls have where it's like, no,

0:11:01.210 --> 0:11:02.690
<v Speaker 2>I don't deserve that. And I'm not going to stick

0:11:02.730 --> 0:11:06.429
<v Speaker 2>around for that. And, and I'm just like, wow, good

0:11:06.490 --> 0:11:06.950
<v Speaker 2>on you girls.

0:11:07.870 --> 0:11:11.050
<v Speaker 1>And you want your, your daughters to learn that, you know?

0:11:11.380 --> 0:11:16.190
<v Speaker 1>And yes, it's easy to say like, forgiveness and all that,

0:11:16.230 --> 0:11:18.010
<v Speaker 1>but like, would you want your daughter to have to

0:11:18.090 --> 0:11:20.030
<v Speaker 1>go through that and continue to deal with it?

0:11:20.290 --> 0:11:22.890
<v Speaker 2>I think again, it's very, it's a, it's, it's harder

0:11:22.929 --> 0:11:25.099
<v Speaker 2>when you're married, you've got kids and someone who respect,

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.140
<v Speaker 2>you know, really honors marriage is cat. Like that's where

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:28.420
<v Speaker 2>you're like, just give up one time.

0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Like, right.

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.580
<v Speaker 2>You know, like it's, that's two sides.

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Like for sure. You have to, you know.

0:11:35.740 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely. That's a hard one.

0:11:37.500 --> 0:11:40.890
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So They definitely just had beautiful standards. This round

0:11:40.929 --> 0:11:42.969
<v Speaker 3>of women was like really, and I can't tell if

0:11:43.030 --> 0:11:45.110
<v Speaker 3>it's maybe because there was more people in their thirties

0:11:45.270 --> 0:11:47.610
<v Speaker 3>and less people in their twenties, this cast, it felt like,

0:11:48.390 --> 0:11:51.359
<v Speaker 3>because I remember like I met Preston when I was 32,

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:55.060
<v Speaker 3>you know? So I think I just remember being like,

0:11:55.100 --> 0:11:56.439
<v Speaker 3>I know what I like. I know what I don't like.

0:11:56.460 --> 0:11:58.940
<v Speaker 3>I know what I'm falling for. You know, I do

0:11:58.980 --> 0:12:00.500
<v Speaker 3>think there's just so much beauty in that. I just

0:12:00.540 --> 0:12:02.540
<v Speaker 3>was really, and I also just felt like they supported

0:12:02.580 --> 0:12:06.790
<v Speaker 3>each other so well, like less cattiness and more like

0:12:06.809 --> 0:12:08.150
<v Speaker 3>girl support. Yeah.

0:12:08.250 --> 0:12:10.780
<v Speaker 2>It would just be nice if like they could maybe

0:12:10.820 --> 0:12:12.540
<v Speaker 2>do a little bit better on the casting on the

0:12:12.580 --> 0:12:17.260
<v Speaker 2>men's side. It always seems like the girls are ready,

0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:20.329
<v Speaker 2>but the guys are not. But again, guys tend to

0:12:21.210 --> 0:12:40.370
<v Speaker 2>say they're ready and then they're a little, then they're not. Right. Okay.

0:12:40.429 --> 0:12:43.350
<v Speaker 2>Mormon wives, Jen Affleck explains why she decided to file

0:12:43.390 --> 0:12:47.270
<v Speaker 2>for divorce from husband Zach. So Jen, um, is currently

0:12:47.290 --> 0:12:49.459
<v Speaker 2>pregnant with her fourth child with Zach. She goes, I

0:12:49.500 --> 0:12:51.050
<v Speaker 2>think I've known for a really long time. I think

0:12:51.100 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 2>it sounds crazy to say, but because I'm about to

0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:54.540
<v Speaker 2>be postpartum, I knew that I needed to make the

0:12:54.580 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 2>decision now not being postpartum because when you're postpartum, it's

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 2>the most vulnerable stage of having children. And I was

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.220
<v Speaker 2>worried that if I waited until then, I wouldn't continue

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 2>the cycle. She also stated, um, that she has realized

0:13:05.830 --> 0:13:07.870
<v Speaker 2>that she trained herself to forget. She says that seeing

0:13:07.929 --> 0:13:09.630
<v Speaker 2>how she was treated by Zach on the show gave

0:13:09.670 --> 0:13:12.170
<v Speaker 2>her more confidence in her decision to file for divorce.

0:13:14.730 --> 0:13:17.510
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I feel like we all kind of saw

0:13:17.570 --> 0:13:18.510
<v Speaker 2>that one come in a bit.

0:13:19.290 --> 0:13:21.770
<v Speaker 3>There's so many of them divorced or divorcing.

0:13:21.790 --> 0:13:25.020
<v Speaker 1>Well, I saw an interview with Jen where she was

0:13:25.059 --> 0:13:28.500
<v Speaker 1>talking about like, look, you know, I would have come

0:13:28.540 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 1>to this decision, I do believe at some point, but

0:13:32.420 --> 0:13:34.569
<v Speaker 1>being on the show, when you sit there and you

0:13:34.710 --> 0:13:37.949
<v Speaker 1>watch it, you know, and I'm like, how different that

0:13:37.990 --> 0:13:41.540
<v Speaker 1>would be. like to truly like to just go back

0:13:41.610 --> 0:13:44.010
<v Speaker 1>and go, okay, yeah, this happened, but then you move

0:13:44.190 --> 0:13:45.929
<v Speaker 1>on or you forget about it or whatever, but then

0:13:45.950 --> 0:13:48.730
<v Speaker 1>to have to go back and watch it some months

0:13:48.770 --> 0:13:51.550
<v Speaker 1>later and go, Oh wait, that was terrible that he

0:13:51.590 --> 0:13:53.750
<v Speaker 1>did that or what I did or what we did,

0:13:53.850 --> 0:13:56.309
<v Speaker 1>you know? And so that's such a, like, I never

0:13:56.370 --> 0:13:58.510
<v Speaker 1>really thought about that. You know, like I knew that

0:13:58.590 --> 0:14:01.650
<v Speaker 1>it causes trauma when you're on, you know, and it

0:14:01.710 --> 0:14:03.270
<v Speaker 1>makes it harder for them and all the things, but

0:14:03.290 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 1>to actually have to go back and watch it and go, Oh,

0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.770
<v Speaker 1>that was inappropriate. Or, Oh, he really did treat me

0:14:08.809 --> 0:14:10.690
<v Speaker 1>bad then. Like, what am I doing?

0:14:10.790 --> 0:14:11.050
<v Speaker 3>You know?

0:14:11.110 --> 0:14:13.970
<v Speaker 1>And like, I don't know. It's just, it's, I see

0:14:14.010 --> 0:14:16.230
<v Speaker 1>where that would escalate. Oh, and why a lot of

0:14:16.250 --> 0:14:17.250
<v Speaker 1>people do get divorced.

0:14:17.870 --> 0:14:18.070
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:14:18.210 --> 0:14:20.370
<v Speaker 2>Again, I'm just feeling like, I don't know. Maybe I'm like,

0:14:20.850 --> 0:14:22.620
<v Speaker 2>I'm just, I must just be like weak. And this

0:14:22.650 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 2>is where I'm like in a self deprecate myself. But

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 2>because I'm like, you, you guys know when I was

0:14:27.860 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 2>in Los Angeles, I had found out something again about

0:14:33.260 --> 0:14:38.830
<v Speaker 2>an affair and I, almost something walking into something and

0:14:38.850 --> 0:14:40.930
<v Speaker 2>I was like that's it I'm falling for a divorce

0:14:40.950 --> 0:14:42.430
<v Speaker 2>I'll never forget I called Sarah Bryce and I was

0:14:42.450 --> 0:14:44.530
<v Speaker 2>like I'm finally done I just caught him blah blah

0:14:44.550 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 2>blah blah blah blah and I remember tasting like a

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:50.620
<v Speaker 2>metallic taste in my mouth and I was like oh

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:52.300
<v Speaker 2>my god I think I like I think I'm pregnant

0:14:53.060 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 2>and I took a test and I was pregnant with

0:14:56.040 --> 0:15:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Jace And I remember going, calling Sarah and being like,

0:15:00.300 --> 0:15:02.140
<v Speaker 2>I can't do this. Like, I can't do that. What

0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.220
<v Speaker 2>do I do? Like, I can't do this alone. Like,

0:15:04.260 --> 0:15:06.550
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I, how, like, how can you be pregnant

0:15:06.610 --> 0:15:08.610
<v Speaker 2>and like have a kid? But I was like, I

0:15:08.650 --> 0:15:10.010
<v Speaker 2>just was like, I was in that mode where I

0:15:10.010 --> 0:15:13.590
<v Speaker 2>was like, I just can't do it myself. Um, and

0:15:13.610 --> 0:15:15.170
<v Speaker 2>then in my mind, I was like, you know, and

0:15:15.490 --> 0:15:17.490
<v Speaker 2>he was like, this is our, you know, start. And

0:15:17.510 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 2>this is my, now I know, and not going to

0:15:19.940 --> 0:15:22.200
<v Speaker 2>lose my family. And so I took it as that,

0:15:22.260 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 2>but it's like, you, you, you see the writing on

0:15:24.380 --> 0:15:26.870
<v Speaker 2>the wall. And I love that Jen was like, strong

0:15:26.910 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 2>enough to go, no, like, this is not going to

0:15:29.820 --> 0:15:31.540
<v Speaker 2>be good for my family. This isn't going to be

0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 2>good for me. And I'm strong enough to walk away,

0:15:34.180 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 2>even in that such a vulnerable position of carrying their child. Like,

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.340
<v Speaker 2>I'm just like, girl, like how, like, again, so incredibly strong.

0:15:41.100 --> 0:15:45.490
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. The only like negative that I don't love right

0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:50.870
<v Speaker 1>now is they keep both posting videos on social media.

0:15:50.970 --> 0:15:52.470
<v Speaker 1>You know how that we always talk about how they're

0:15:52.510 --> 0:15:55.010
<v Speaker 1>just crazy about social media. Yeah. but they're like both

0:15:55.110 --> 0:15:58.810
<v Speaker 1>posting things to show the other people. And I'm like, okay,

0:15:59.610 --> 0:16:03.350
<v Speaker 1>at this point we got four kids. This is social media. Like, right.

0:16:03.390 --> 0:16:03.570
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:16:03.610 --> 0:16:06.010
<v Speaker 1>We just need to, we need to simmer down. I

0:16:06.050 --> 0:16:08.510
<v Speaker 1>get it. You want to show, you know, all the things,

0:16:08.550 --> 0:16:10.260
<v Speaker 1>but like, I just need that to simmer down a

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.740
<v Speaker 1>little bit. Like we filed for divorce. We're going to

0:16:12.780 --> 0:16:15.800
<v Speaker 1>be better off. Let's, let's move on and be a

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:17.020
<v Speaker 1>little bit more mature about it.

0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:18.440
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean?

0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:23.450
<v Speaker 1>So she posted a video of, that, and I think

0:16:23.470 --> 0:16:25.229
<v Speaker 1>there's been more, I think they've both done it. They've

0:16:25.270 --> 0:16:27.220
<v Speaker 1>gone back and forth, but she posted a video on

0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:31.820
<v Speaker 1>TikTok that basically was, she was filming something. It was like,

0:16:32.140 --> 0:16:33.980
<v Speaker 1>it was going to go on social media or maybe

0:16:34.020 --> 0:16:36.140
<v Speaker 1>it did. I don't know. And it showed him treating

0:16:36.220 --> 0:16:40.400
<v Speaker 1>her kind of disrespectfully, like making her look stupid or

0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.120
<v Speaker 1>feel stupid. And it shows like his face behind her

0:16:43.140 --> 0:16:45.890
<v Speaker 1>where he's like looking at her all nasty and like whatever.

0:16:46.470 --> 0:16:50.450
<v Speaker 1>And so, I think it was her way of just like, see, see,

0:16:50.490 --> 0:16:52.510
<v Speaker 1>he does treat me bad. Like, see, see, like this

0:16:52.590 --> 0:16:54.150
<v Speaker 1>is what he does, you know? And then I, I

0:16:54.210 --> 0:16:56.960
<v Speaker 1>believe I'm not, I did see that one. I believe

0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.880
<v Speaker 1>he came back with something as well. And I think

0:16:59.920 --> 0:17:01.880
<v Speaker 1>it's just kind of been this bad. I can't watch

0:17:01.940 --> 0:17:03.980
<v Speaker 1>it anymore because it's just got, it's just that stuff

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.000
<v Speaker 1>gets so petty. Um, and that's where I'm going to go.

0:17:07.020 --> 0:17:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:17:07.820 --> 0:17:10.080
<v Speaker 1>You did this and you literally said you did this

0:17:10.540 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 1>for your child because you, you want to stop the cycle.

0:17:14.060 --> 0:17:15.880
<v Speaker 1>You do not want your children to think that this

0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:18.230
<v Speaker 1>is okay. You know, blah, blah, blah. So, this isn't

0:17:18.270 --> 0:17:20.230
<v Speaker 1>okay either. So we're just going to need to like,

0:17:20.270 --> 0:17:21.949
<v Speaker 1>and I love her and I'm so happy for her.

0:17:21.990 --> 0:17:25.830
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, I'm happy that she is making a

0:17:25.869 --> 0:17:28.410
<v Speaker 1>decision to get happier. And I think both of them

0:17:28.460 --> 0:17:32.160
<v Speaker 1>will be happier in the end probably, but I need

0:17:32.180 --> 0:17:34.120
<v Speaker 1>them to just rein it back on the social.

0:17:33.940 --> 0:17:36.699
<v Speaker 3>Media a little bit. I also just, I can't let

0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.460
<v Speaker 3>you say that you were weak BF, because I just don't,

0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:42.300
<v Speaker 3>I just don't think that's true. I mean, like I've been,

0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:46.910
<v Speaker 3>I just think there's, I think it's different for everybody, right?

0:17:46.970 --> 0:17:50.780
<v Speaker 3>Like I can't imagine, I would have never had the

0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:54.800
<v Speaker 3>support to get divorced while I was pregnant. Like what

0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:58.450
<v Speaker 3>would have been for me in my situation, like the

0:17:58.490 --> 0:18:01.190
<v Speaker 3>mature and responsible decision for me in that moment would

0:18:01.230 --> 0:18:06.390
<v Speaker 3>be to just stay and again, if I'm safe, right?

0:18:06.470 --> 0:18:09.689
<v Speaker 3>Like assuming I'm safe just to get like, it's everyone

0:18:09.730 --> 0:18:12.609
<v Speaker 3>handles things at their own pace and at their own timeline.

0:18:12.670 --> 0:18:15.729
<v Speaker 3>So I don't, I've never saw that part of you

0:18:15.820 --> 0:18:17.980
<v Speaker 3>as being weak at all. I just felt like it

0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.679
<v Speaker 3>was like, we're just taking this one step at a time,

0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:24.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, like it's okay for everyone to make their

0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:26.220
<v Speaker 3>decisions in their own time and what they need to

0:18:26.260 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 3>do and when their breaking point is. And I mean, hindsight, right?

0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:34.169
<v Speaker 3>Like There's a trillion things in all my relationships that

0:18:34.190 --> 0:18:36.310
<v Speaker 3>I wish I would have gone, well, Kristen, you shouldn't

0:18:36.330 --> 0:18:39.040
<v Speaker 3>have allowed that. Or Kristen, you shouldn't have done that.

0:18:39.140 --> 0:18:42.600
<v Speaker 3>But hindsight is what it is. And we're all just learning.

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:44.740
<v Speaker 3>And I think it's good to admire it in other people.

0:18:44.780 --> 0:18:47.900
<v Speaker 3>But at the time, what felt like the sturdy decision

0:18:47.940 --> 0:18:51.500
<v Speaker 3>for you was have your baby and stay married. And

0:18:51.540 --> 0:18:55.690
<v Speaker 3>what feels sturdy for her is this isn't good.

0:18:55.770 --> 0:18:57.790
<v Speaker 1>And I'm going to get divorced. Well, she's already done that,

0:18:57.850 --> 0:18:58.290
<v Speaker 1>mind you.

0:18:58.369 --> 0:18:58.530
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:18:58.550 --> 0:18:59.109
<v Speaker 1>Last baby.

0:18:59.130 --> 0:18:59.230
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:18:59.890 --> 0:19:02.810
<v Speaker 1>They were already having issues and she decided to stay

0:19:02.830 --> 0:19:06.600
<v Speaker 1>and all that. So, you know, she's essentially done this

0:19:06.670 --> 0:19:09.920
<v Speaker 1>at least twice, you know, but also, I mean, it's,

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:13.660
<v Speaker 1>you know, and I'm a big advocate advocate for leaving

0:19:13.740 --> 0:19:17.240
<v Speaker 1>if that stuff happens, but like, that ain't easy being

0:19:17.260 --> 0:19:20.399
<v Speaker 1>pregnant and having a newborn. And so I don't think

0:19:20.460 --> 0:19:23.139
<v Speaker 1>anyone can fault anyone. And I bet that happens way

0:19:23.670 --> 0:19:27.950
<v Speaker 1>more often than we even realize. And, and, I can

0:19:28.030 --> 0:19:30.310
<v Speaker 1>see where that feels like, because it even did to

0:19:30.350 --> 0:19:32.479
<v Speaker 1>me for you, but I can see where that feels

0:19:32.540 --> 0:19:36.040
<v Speaker 1>like maybe this was God's plan. Maybe this is the

0:19:36.100 --> 0:19:37.740
<v Speaker 1>moment where this is going to happen.

0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:38.199
<v Speaker 3>Well, I thought it was.

0:19:38.220 --> 0:19:39.960
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was going to be the thing.

0:19:39.780 --> 0:19:41.600
<v Speaker 3>That would snap him out of it.

0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:42.369
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:19:42.869 --> 0:19:45.570
<v Speaker 1>And so there's, you know, you can't fault anyone for

0:19:45.950 --> 0:19:47.690
<v Speaker 1>praying and hoping that that is the case.

0:19:47.890 --> 0:19:49.550
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, of course. That's just it.

0:19:49.590 --> 0:19:51.240
<v Speaker 2>It's hard. when you see the writing on the wall

0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:53.300
<v Speaker 2>and then it's like, and then we watch things like

0:19:53.340 --> 0:19:55.639
<v Speaker 2>this and we're like, well, yeah, he didn't, you know,

0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:57.690
<v Speaker 2>they didn't work together, you know?

0:19:57.910 --> 0:19:58.210
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:19:58.490 --> 0:20:00.550
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I wouldn't want to see a playback video

0:20:00.590 --> 0:20:01.690
<v Speaker 3>of my marriages.

0:20:01.970 --> 0:20:05.210
<v Speaker 1>If you and Mike, imagine if you and Mike's whole

0:20:05.330 --> 0:20:09.010
<v Speaker 1>marriage was a reality show. You know what I mean?

0:20:09.230 --> 0:20:11.930
<v Speaker 1>I do think that you might have made some decisions

0:20:11.990 --> 0:20:13.650
<v Speaker 1>maybe a little bit sooner if you had to sit

0:20:13.690 --> 0:20:16.790
<v Speaker 1>there and watch and replay it. But can you imagine

0:20:16.850 --> 0:20:18.310
<v Speaker 1>having to replay that all?

0:20:18.970 --> 0:20:19.150
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:20:19.430 --> 0:20:23.669
<v Speaker 2>Well, remember, every time we're doing a reality show, I mean,

0:20:23.690 --> 0:20:27.449
<v Speaker 2>when we would film the videos or they would do it,

0:20:27.490 --> 0:20:29.050
<v Speaker 2>it's like I found out something. And I'm like, oh,

0:20:29.070 --> 0:20:30.450
<v Speaker 2>I'm so glad we didn't air any of that.

0:20:30.510 --> 0:20:30.909
<v Speaker 1>Oh, my God.

0:20:31.170 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 2>So glad we picked up. But at the same time,

0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:35.990
<v Speaker 2>that might have saved me. And getting out sooner.

0:20:36.070 --> 0:20:36.510
<v Speaker 1>It might have.

0:20:36.530 --> 0:20:38.810
<v Speaker 2>For things that I would have been so embarrassed, how

0:20:38.850 --> 0:20:39.410
<v Speaker 2>could I go back?

0:20:40.490 --> 0:20:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think that there's things that would have been

0:20:42.020 --> 0:20:46.659
<v Speaker 1>shown that still people have no idea. And seeing it

0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:50.120
<v Speaker 1>would make people feel very differently about things. But again,

0:20:50.140 --> 0:20:52.820
<v Speaker 1>that's why we're just going to thank God we're not

0:20:52.900 --> 0:20:53.240
<v Speaker 1>on that.

0:20:54.600 --> 0:21:00.369
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, reality. But that's it for this week's headlines. I

0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:04.110
<v Speaker 2>love you, ladies. And see what pops up next week.

0:21:04.730 --> 0:21:06.600
<v Speaker 3>We sure do miss you on this couch, Kramer.
