A Farewell to Meredith

is on me, I just don't know what happened. Here's the thing. We've done this podcast for how many years and this has never happened. So it's not We're not upset. We're not mad. We're not mad, And especially when it has to do with a computer glitch. Yeah, you know, it's like Taylor Swift says, glitch. I think I think there's been so mad it crashed. Usually when it crashes, it's still in there. They still keep the audio recorded.

But I think this is going to be a better versions two because you know, the first time around, we were really upset about the Gray's anatomy Meredith Farewell, and now that we were able to get it out once before. I feel like we're gonna be a little bit more succinct. I'm still upset, I still haven't help set, but I feel like now I have my thoughts in order. Basically, it was just absolutely disappointing. We have watched Meredith Gray

for nineteen years. We've watched her have many near death experiences, love life, trauma drama, celebrated her wins, cried for her losses, and cheered her on with her victories times yes, and the Goodbye Farewell episode we got was black luster. When I tell you, I am legitimately pissed. I feel as a fan that I have watched nineteen seasons with Meredith Gray and that was her sendoff. It feels wrong, It

feels hurtful, and it feels intentional. I wish that I had some behind the scenes person there that we could talk to, because I feel like something went wrong. When you watch that scene, Bailey starts talking, she doesn't finish her sentence. There's weird camera cutaways. Then there's that super weird silence that she kind of rotates around and looks at everyone, but it's not even interesting people that like she couldn't even get a toast out. It was very,

very strange. I feel like something went awry, but they had three months to edit it and make it perfect, and it was garbage. The teaser was better. The had me crying, and the episode and had me lying. All they had to do was figure out. All they had to do was show us like clips from old seasons flashbacks, put a sad song over it. We're not hard to please. Well, we're kind of hard to please. We're not hard to please that sense, by the way, you said that when

they Didn'tary said that the promo. Maybe you curious, cheer up? No furious, No, she said something it made her fury eye. But yeah, okay, the teaser made me teary eyed, and the episode made me fury eyed. Yes, I'm with you, and I still have that fury in my eyes. Okay. I have a note page. It's titled worst episode ever, and like that was just written in anger. Like. I don't think it's the worst episode ever, but I think as far as like a farewell episode, it was very disappointing. Meredith,

I said Merideth. The only positive thing I can say is that Meredith's hair looked bomb. Everything else in all caps disappointing, and then I said one more positive. The baby heart story was based off of a scrubber's real life story, Taylor Monroe. Her son's name is Owen so on Brand, so On Brand, And thank you for on the Facebook group letting us know about that, because it's fascinating knowing that the video we saw of the open heart on the small, small, strawberry sized heart was your

actual sound's heart. That was amazing knowing that while watching it, Yeah, I would say that was the only highlights. Okay, so I'm going to disagree with you on that, and I just want in case you're listening to the podcast and you don't watch Grey's Anatomy, I would like some solidarity, solidarity with our scrub sisters here to really create some motion, some emotion that I'm feeling to get behind this because

that is not the send off that we deserved. And I'm going to get back to that in a second. I'd like to say that I think the episode in itself wasn't a bad episode. I really enjoy these interns. I love that the three of them are moving into Meredith's old hows and that they're kind of trying to do that dynamic again. I actually enjoyed that, but for the sendoff, it was just appalling and rude and disrespectful.

So I think on the podcast next week, I need everybody an agreeance here, agreeance, agreements, agreements, but right that we give Meredith her very well that she deserves. To give her a toast. So you have to do some homework? Why I don't. I don't need any homework. I could probably write one right now. No, because I want you to send it to Hannah on Friday so she can put it in the rundown. Okay, I'm really good about sending things to Hanna for the rundown though, So I

want this. This is due by Friday. Oh my god, our farewell to married. No, let's give her the give her what she deserves. Well, okay, chat GBT or whatever you need to do the thing. I like the new interns. I just don't like that they're trying to recreate the magic, which is Meredith, Alex, George, Isy Christina that we've already seen. You can't recreate it. That's their initials. This is the same initials, Meredith, Alex, George, George Magic. Oh my gosh,

that's see that did that for now. That's what I'm saying, where are they at. They may on magic, yes, okay, any of us tragic, but if they're at their job to try to make it fresh and exciting and magic again, I just don't know if it can be done with different I mean, it was just so incredible what it was, and I like the new interns, but I don't feel like they have the same like chemistry within each other. They're still young, it's still early days, and you would

know that reference if you watched Love Island. Mark liked Oh thank you. Mark liked the Helm Bartending story, saying I love it. I'm just saying it's interesting if Helm is kind of secretly coaching one of the interns on the side, that'll probably revive Helm's love of medicine, get her back in. In the meantime, she's helping. I forget

which one it was, Okay. The only thing that makes that interesting to me is if they fall in love or have a relationship, happy about it, and then she like inspires her to come back, Yasuda inspires Helm to come back. Helm poured hot liquor and a mixer into martini glass, which, if you know anything about drink. So you don't drink a hot martini. She's not good bartender. Why she needs to be a doctor? That's a minucia picture. Yeah,

literally miss that entirely. Well. It makes sense that Mark want to know he doesn't drink, but you I'm a fish veteran. Yes, not so much anymore. I'm off caffeine and alcohol for a bit. Here, here we go. No, I believe in you. I want you to feel your best and be healthy. So whatever you need to do, thank you, I've done it. What I put. I asked chat gpt for a tribute to Meredith Gray asked for a hundred words. Would you like it? Sure? Here's what chat gpt came up with. I feel like we should

save it for next week. You think, so that's gonna be mine for this is right now? Okay? Moving on Gray's we expected more got less? What do you expected too much? I think? What? Maybe you're right? Maybe the episode wasn't that bad. But my I gotta say though, sometimes like people, it's very half and half. In my DMS, it was a unanimous disappointment. Thumbs down. Yes, but it was because the expectations of being her farewell episode. We

expected more. I wonder how much is ABC hyping it as a farewell episode and she'll be back before you know? That would maybe even more mad because there was a disconnect somewhere. There was everything felt fleeting. That was what we talked about the first round that we did the podcast, Like every storyline feels like they just were like, let's do this, and then they don't. There's no build up.

That's what it is. There's no build up here. Yeah, Like, what's like there was a cohesive intention that used to be in the early years. Yeah, it's not cohesive anymore.

It's detached. These are notes also, Tony and I would love to be extras, like maybe on like those people sleep on the plane, I think too by the way her reading of the people on the plane and people sitting around, And I'd be so annoyed if I was saying in front of a mom trying to read out loud to her three kids, what about tema chat chit chatting the whole flight to someone wanted some good chit chatting. Okay, you can learn a thing or two. Yeah, um, okay,

let's take a break in. We'll be wait. But I had one more thought about just the ending. Please. People were upset that Scott Speedman and she did not end up together. Meredith, doctor Nick Mark, doctor Nick Marsh. He not no his name. No, she doesn't need a man. He wasn't it. I didn't ever. I didn't like him either way, but I did we liked him, No, I didna. There's broadcast proof of us saying that we liked him for her. I did feel a certain type of way,

and then I quickly felt the other way. But I feel like she doesn't need to end up with a man to have her happily ever after. She needs sitting up with a woman. No, she needs to end up with herself. I'm just kidding, but I'm not. I'm not into him at all. He does need like the ick just bad vibes. Yeah, same, he's kind of mean feeling. Yeah, so mirrors like in a better place, you're probably gonna end up together. Day. I took the first initials of the new interns and it's not MLSJB. You can't even

make anything. No, there's no vowel. You can't make a word out of it. Can we buy a vow Okay, we need to take a break. We'll be right back Hey, everyone, it's Bethany Frankel. We are reliving the best moments from all the seasons of the Real Housewives on my new podcast, Rewives. From the table flips of New Jersey to the craziest hills of Beverly. No city will be spared, and I'm joined by my most fabulous celebrity friends that you will

never expect to help me break down the drama. Kristin Channawi, Tori Spelling, Jerry Springer, Snookie, even Emmy winner Elizabeth Moss. The list goes on and on, So let's whoop it up and mention it all because you can binge episodes of rewives right now, with so much more to come. Listen to Rewives on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you listen to your podcasts. All right, we're back. Something else that happened. Okay, I don't listen to podcasts. Other podcasts

I don't listen to. Do y'all listen to our podcasts once it goes up? Uh? No, only if I missed it, But I just mean in general, I listened to quite a few podcasts, right yeah, Well they're very great. There's a lot of great podcasts. But you know, we got some criticism over our interviewing skills over the week or whatever, and to be honest, I wasn't even hurt by them because I was like, you're right, we got up our game and that's what it is, what it is, and

that's what we're about to do. When you get criticism, that doesn't hurt you. You know that they're right. Right. But the thing about introducing our guests, it's been something that's been on my mind for quite some time and I just haven't I don't know if it's if it's like I've been saying it for a while. Do you remember I've been saying, I'm like, we want I want to set them up better because we obviously know who

we're interviewing, but the listeners might not know. But then I feel like we like let them into the zoom or let them into the studio and then we carry on and then that's it and then we're done. So so now we have a protocol. We have a protocol, and I think a lot of it was like writing down a bio about someone and then reading it while they're in front of you. To me, felt really awkward. So I was always like, oh, I just want to

like make it conversational. But then I what we were what was pointed out to this is that a lot of people are hearing about our guests for the first time, like maybe they're not clued into them, and they're like, I really like this person, but what do they do. They're to like go back and research on their own. We don't want y'all to have to research now and fret no more. We hear you. Five years we hear you, and we have a new protocol in place, so that

will not be happy anymore. Well, so I listened to a couple of podcasts over the weekend. I listened to the Call Her Daddy Kelsey Ballerini interview, which will go too And then I listened to Marianna Huay and she was talking to a doctor and I was Marianna, Yeah, who was that, Marianna, Well, here I am to educate. Wow, okay,

mary Anna um. She has a podcast Life with Marianna, And she was talking to this doctor and they were talking about just like a lot of the benefits of like what you can do if you're battling like anxiety or just like mental stuff. I was like, I'm going to go back and listen to this and write down notes.

And I was thinking, what a great podcast. I don't know if anyone's doing that for us, but it was like, wow, that's a great job, like taking no doubt people are taking note, take notes on But what did Tanya say this week? That was crazy? That's what we do. Yeah, um, mismatched quotes. But Kelsey Ballerini and call her Daddy. Alex Cooper is amazing at what she does and Alex Cooper the oh our door as well, but is open for

you anytime you need. Yeah, happy to have you. Honestly would love that, would love to go and call her daddy. We can fit in the chair together, that big chair there. I don't think she's ever had a personal in someone's lap. Yeah first happy, too happy to oblige. Yeah, um, but I'd like to be on the bottom. I think, like me sitting on you. Yeah, it's vulnerable. Well we'll talk about it, okay when the moment comes. You listen to the Kelsey Ballerini episode, right, I listened to many of

Call Her daddies. Okay, but you listen to this, Yes, what did you think over your takeaways? So it's interesting to me how much detail was shared, you know, because I think and I think that that's the beauty in music is like you can write these lyrics that are super super vulnerable and like expressive, but they're not so play by play of everything that it leads a lot, leaves a lot to the imagination. And I feel like

the interview really didn't leave a lot to the imagination. Yeah, And the thing is is, you know, there's two sides. There's three sides to every story exactly, and this was her side and her version of what happened, and I felt like she you know, she was like, I'm he's not all to blame, Like I had my own issues

that didn't work out in the relationship whatever. But I felt like it was very honest about her version of what happened and kind of vulnerable, and some parts I was like, Oh, that's so hard, and also navigating going through those things in your personal life while navigating a public image. Also, I grew up very much like what people thought of me and our family was like a big deal, like wanting to always have on a good front. I think that's the southern culture type thing. I don't

know if you relate to that. No, and then good talk, but also the like the um the shamer on sex, how he was saying she had only slept with one man before him when that question was brought up her sleeping on the couch. I didn't. I didn't really like how people were bashing him about moving into her house like that. There was a conversation of like, well, he's nine years older and he moved into your house. But like,

if the person I'm dating has a better house, I'm house. Yeah, I don't care who's older, right, who's what I do? I'll find that to be weird either. But I was thinking like, oh, if the roles were reversed and she moved into his nicer house, you know, it would probably want to be a conversation. So I thought that. But it is something that people it's on people's mind. Somebody damn me the other they're like, why are you moving into his house? He should be moving into yours? And

I was like, I don't have a house. Wait why I'm like, I rent an apartment and so henceforth, why I'm the bottom line of my thesis is that is why I am going to be moving in there. Yeah, it just makes sense. You're going to move into the better living situation. Yeah, but I would be interested to hear his version of what happened. And he even made a statement that said, she knows I would never talk about this publicly, so we might never hear that. But

the EP is fantastic. But I also found very interesting how she said she married this man because she grew up from such like a broken home and he was like the symbol if he was so close with his family and so clothed, they were so close, that was everything that she'd wanted. And I was like, I feel like we make a lot of decisions in our adult life to kind of counter balance things that we experience

as kids. And I found that to be very interesting. Well, Kelsey said that what really ended the marriage was when they started disagreeing over starting a family. I think the quote is the moment I think it was over over was when I realized I wasn't ready for kids. And that's a fundamental difference. And in the first version of this podcast, we did we were saying like we were because you were like, don't you talk about that before you get married? But when I was twenty two, I

wanted four kids. Now, but I'm like like, but now, don't you and Haley talk about that? Yeah, but I'm saying like, even when I started dating Haley in twenty eighteen, I probably was like certain I wanted kids, right, I think she changed change But I think I don't know. It's hard to say, but she's saying like, that's that's something like a fundamental difference. So like if you're not on the same page, how do you continue? You know? Um? But yeah, I thought it was interesting. I thought it

was interesting. She slid into Chase Stokes DMS. That's how they started talking, and the way she did it. His his handle is high high Chase Stokes and she damned him and she just said high Chase Stokes. That's game. That's Riz right there, that's Riz. Yeah, but do you know what Riz is? Do you think you don't know

what ye? Riz is? Like swag? Oh yeah, Tonya, don't act like you're all of a sudden like one with gen Z. I'm totally one with gen Z. Well do you don't think that many other women who are not at Kelsey Ballerini's level of fame and notoriety said Hi, Chase steps to him, thinking no, no, no, But what I'm saying is like, even if you were to DM anybody else, Like if you're listening and you want to DM this guy and his name is like, Hi, I'm Edward. Hi, I'm Edward. Is such a cute, It's such a It's

a very easy way in. So if you're following someone in their user name sends you hi something, take that, take that alley oop and slam dunk it nice tonya really good? Whoa who knew? Getting better? She's a sports girl, that's right. Take the ball and sink it first when I was stronger. Yeah yeah, I don't know ball, you're sinking golf? Yeah yeah, Um. Either way, I hope both parties move on fine happiness. I love Kelsey Ballerini are

like I don't. I don't know as much about Morgan Evans, So I'm not like, oh, I love Morgan Evans, but I still wish him. I think a divorce and getting into a marriage young and then it ending is like sad regardless, So I don't wish him bad. Definitely not. Yeah, but I don't need to like hear from him like on our podcast. But like I'm saying, if he had to call her daddy, I don't listen. I don't know I would. I don't know if I would. Okay, but don't wish him ill. Yeah, I just don't want to

listen to him. Correct Yeah, okay, yeah, wish him the best, but wish him the best. Yeah yeah. Um. Anyways, I thought it was a really good interview. I thought it was very like it. I feel like I didn't inspire you a little bit Becca to be a better host, because what I was thinking is that she asked questions where I'm kind of like like, that's where she went there. She went there, and that's what you have to do.

Because even though we as listeners are like, oh, she just asked that, we're so excited to hear the answer true, and I think we hear them try to weazel out of the answer. It's all upside, okay, Mark, We're not trying to make people squirm. Yeah, I don't want to.

We're not the squirm Alex Cooper makes them squirm. No. I think the people that are going on her podcast and they're like, these are the off limit things, so like, don't even go there, and then she probably just takes as far as she can with the things I've had to say no on a podcast where it was like

something I don't want to talk about. It's kind of all It does put you in a squirming position because you're like, oh, I have to like stand like my ground with someone, and it's okay you can, and so I think it's like you go for it, and then they get to say like I don't really want to talk about that or I'm not comfortable sharing that, and

then you go cool. I've always said too, I find it like when you're going in for an interview, it should just be no holds bar, you know what I mean, Okay, like you shouldn't expect that they can ask you anything like I've gone. I've had interviewers where people ask me stuff about Ryan that I don't want to answer, but it's on me to respond in a way that I find to be the best. You know. I mean, he's not gay. No, it wasn't even that. It wasn't that,

but I can't even remember. But I've been asked about like several things about Ryan. Then I'm like, I don't want to answer that. You know, I'm not who am I to answer that? But it's not for me to be like, don't ask me that ask me whatever you want, and I'm going to handle it the way I think it's best. So I think I always get scared of making someone uncomfortable, but it's like that's part of these conversations. It's like, if it's uncomfortable, we don't go there, but

you gotta let me know. So I felt inspired to be a better interviewer truly. Yeah, and watch out and we are going to meet interviewers Tanya and Becker two point on Thursday. Correct, that's right to me? A major guest, Yeah in my opinion. Yeah, because they have the same name. Yeah, we have the Taylor Lawn, Taylor Launer one and Taylor Lautner two Taylay and Taylor and um, Taylor Lautner was a Werewill phone Twilight Jacob Black. His last name was Black. Yeah,

still in my phone as Jacob Black. That's hilarious. I was team Jacob. You should tell him that. I should tell him that. Yeah. Um. You know. Actually what's funny is I have him in my phone as t L because I remember when we met. I feel like this was a time when somebody got their phone stolen or something and they had all these contacts in it and so I was so paranoid having remember that it was somewhere e maybe it was Ryan. It was somewhere that had Ryan's number in their phone or whatever. So I

got really paranoids. I wouldn't put people's names with their real names. So he's still just TL on my phone. I'm like, I've never called him t L in my life. That'd be kind of weird deal. Yeah, tal AnyWho um. In the first episode we recorded, we talked about Love Island UK versus Love Island US, and Tommy has compared it to Oh that, How did I come back up with that? How can we get into that in the first place? Though? We were talking talking about weekends and

what we watched. Yes, and so I compared Love Island UK and Love Island USA. Said, there is no comparis there's no comparison. It's like comparing, yeah, what I to a space launch? Yeah, television, That is ludicrous because Love Island UK and US are both, at least dating TV shows vastly different. So but it's the same premise. Yes, No, it's not even the same premise. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, same premise. But it's like you're watching Ying and Yang,

you know. Yeah, apples and oranges. So I said Becca in the first podcast text Robbie and yeah, and ask him it's not just me that's saying this, it's like legit. Yeah. So my question to him was, Hi, as far as Love Island goes, is the UK version comparable to the US version or are they totally different? And he said, hi, dot dot dot. We only watch part of one US episode and hated it. Some same format, but the US was just pure trash. We like the emotional maturity of

the Brits lol. I said, but fundamentally it's the same show, just with accents. And he said, yeah, I think so, same format. Just didn't even finish an episode of the US. I'm not sure, but he essentially said what I said. Yeah he did. Yeah, complete trash. I mean, that's pretty much the same thing. But it's the same show. It is, well, I think to space launches not Yeah, that's what we're trying to get up. Comparing Grayson Natomy to a high

school production of Grayson Anatomy. How about that? Would that be a better? Oh, it's nice. It's like comparing Gray's Anatomy two the Blair Witch Project. Oh no, I I liked where you were going back, but I was gonna say, like a general hospital. That's pretty good. Yeah, good, No, much more different than stubborn to have a logical argument with all these things. I for what twelve years now, and I never know how a sentence is going to end. So I would like you to to watch one, maybe

two episodes of my choosing of a season for you. Great, happy too? That was easy. Yeah, I'm sure three times. Watch. Yeah, that's what I watched three times. I don't understand. That was like such an amazing season. But whatever, I'll pick it. Everyone trash. No, but you're watching The Last of Us, aren't you? Yeah? Did you watch Scary? Yeah, I'm watching it. I didn't see Last Nights yet. I haven't. I think I'm I think we're two behind. Okay, well I'm a

lot behind. Okay, Well I'm won't. I won't. I'm not going to spoil anything. So she got through three, which is my favorite. That was so emotional. I cried like a baby during the whole episode. And I was like not into the show the first two episodes because like the zombie and this fungy sorry, and Haley calls them quarrelman. That's pretty good. I was like, I don't know if I'm into it with In that third episode, I was like, wow, it was really I know, made me feel all kinds

of things, so emotional. Yeah, beautiful. Um, well, after the most recent episode, we watched like we're really scared of the infected, Like everything about the show is like, I don't know why we're watching it, We're so scared. But really the humans are more scary than the infected in a lot of ways, like the people in Kansas City. There were some scary people no spoilers please, Yeah, they're pretty scary. The show is scary and it's pop out ee and yeah yeah, so Haley, I always like to scary,

like it's just part of our relationship. And she gets like legit mad, like it's not like babe, Like no, it's like, so we're after the show, Hayley's in the kitchen and I will go to get water. Well, my back was killing me, so I was like kind of hunched over going to get the water, and she was talking to me. So I'm like listening as I'm walking to the kitchen, and I watched her go turn off the light and I'm like, oh no, I'm gonna scare

her because she doesn't know I'm walking this way. But if I talk now that it's dark, she's gonna be mad. And if she just looks up and sees me, she's gonna be mad. So I don't say anything. So she looks up and she just she says she sees a shadow like hunched over holding my water, and she goes, why are you scaring me? Like, oh, it's so mad at me. And I was just like, I wasn't trying to scare you. My back hurts and I'm just trying to get water. I'm hunched because she was like, why

are you standing like the coralman? So we're like, we're like not well when we're watching. So I I don't know the third epido in the fifth episode, We're beautiful, but yeah, I don't know where I'm that. I liked the third episode the first two, so it could be a big Halloween costume this year, the chor old Man. But I relate to what you're saying because there are times an Amy should be vacuuming or something and I'll walk into the room like I have no choice but

to scare her. Yeah, Like there's nothing I can do right now to not scare her? How can I make this as unscary as possible? And I always fail. Sometimes sometimes I am trying to scare her, and that's what's that's where I've lost the trust. But this one I wasn't and we like literally almost got in a fight until I got to explain my side of the story. This is also I did not want to forget the life lesson I learned from Physical one hundred okay, which

is a show on Netflix, a strength competition show. It's basically like the real life squid Games, but they don't die, they just get out of the game. And so there's one hundred people. They're supposed to be the physicalist fit physically most physicalist, most physically fit people on the planet or in Korea, and um the spoiler alert, the man

that one was not the most physically fit. You would see like there were people that were these huge like bodybuilders, and their muscles looked like there were like heads on top of heads on top of heads. And the guy that won, you would say, was not necessarily the most fit, but he had mental strength, he had determination, he had endurance, he had willpower, and that is what's going to take you further in life than what you look like. He was the most physically, he was the most well rounded

of all the skills. It's not about what you look like on the outside, it's what's in the inside that can carry you through. It's not how big your muscles are, it's how big your passion is. Correct. So so yeah, that made me feel certain time away. Okay, Like, I don't know, I really like the show. How there's some edits Like I felt like a lot of the competitions we watched for way too long. Yeah, I agree, Like I felt like we were watching the hanging for like live.

I think, Yeah, I think season two will be much better. Okay, because they'll work out the kinks. Okay, but yeah, check that out. It's Physical one hundred on Netflix. Pretty good. Great, Well, I think we should take a break and then do some emails. Right. Hey, everyone, it's Dean Anglert and Kaylyn Miller Keys and Jared Hayn. I'm I'm here.

Both of these are anonymous. We didn't get to this partment, did not. We are in this fresh charted territory right now. And also we didn't talk about last of Us. Honestly, the second version

saved you. I'm eight weeks pregnant with my first and I'm a huge swift Ee. My husband and I are going to take our announcement pictures at the Taylor Swift concert. I'm going to make a shirt that says Baby's first Taylor Swift Concert. My dilemma here is I want to post lyrics with the announcement to pull it all together. I already used not a lot going on at the moment for our engagement, so I want something different. I posted this on the Facebook group and they said, send

an email. I can tie you to the rescue. We want to hear where you guys come up with. So what Taylor lyrics would be good for a baby announcement, poster m or just announcement? What about the are you ready for it? And then like a picture of a baby? Are you ready for it? What about? This is the golden age of something good and write and real. That's pretty good? Yeah, I like it? Not bad? And here's to ma baby. They don't care about the he said.

She said, it's pretty good. It's pretty good. Okay, Becca's doing better at this. Well, I was enchanted to meet you. Oh we are enchanted to meet you? Yeah? Yeah yeah? How about are we out of the woods? I think, Becca? I think this one. I think, where do they live? What? I am? Welcome to New York? Well, nobody hurts you? Well, let no one break your heart. Oh my god, I never grew up. Oh wow, back out look at you. Well,

she's like googling over here. Let me get my computer up. Yeah, one done and done where we are enchanted to meet you, that we are enchanted to meet you solid. This one's we're going to another email. Yeah, what can you take out the miscarriage thing? Yeah? I though it was kind of dark when I went there. I couldn't think of the title of the song. Yeah, it's also not even it's just speculated, I know, but I just feel like

dark turn Thank you so much. All right. This is also anonymous, and this one I don't know what to do with. My sister found out she's pregnant with her boyfriend's baby. They've been together maybe a year. He's divorced. He's got two kids from his first marriage. Not a US citizen, but as a green card for work. His ex wife doesn't know about my sister. Neither do his kids. Every time anyone in my family asks my sister, when is he going to tell his acts? When is he

going to tell the kids, she freaks out. She doesn't want to talk about it. She did let slip once that she asked him about a situation with his kids in the act and he said, it is none of your business. What he seems like a really great guy in person, but from what we know so far, there are so many red flags. I decided to take it upon myself to reach out to an attorney and find out if he really is divorced, and he's not. He's legally married to his wife. It may be for citizenship purposes,

but the fact is he's a liar. I need to tell my sister. But how do I bring it up without her blowing up on me or me ruining her life with this news when she's expecting a baby. This is bad, very above our p yeah and skill sets, but like dissected a little bit here, Okay, let's go Tanya. God, she's still trying to think of a Taylor Sliftle, still defeated from that. How does she go about telling her sister she knows this information because she hired an attorney

to find it. Is gonna be furious? Well no, But also I think that it takes a lot of time to get divorced, so they might not legally because it might not have gone through the sports and stuff, and like, it takes a long time. So I'm not going to knock him for that unless he's saying to them I am divorced or i am legally divorced then, but I

doubt he's saying I'm legally divorced. So that's the only thing I'm not knocking him for because it might be in the works, which just takes a long time, So some benefit of the doubt that's the only one telling her anything with his axes none of her business. Is that a big problem? Yes, it seems like a big problem. Yeah, yes, I would hate for my sisters to be with someone

like this. But the problem is is like if you have she's just saying, she's already approached her to say like warn her and say this is bad, and she shuts she shuts down. So it's like if somebody's reacting that way, what more can you do? Imagine you know all of this about him, right, So she knows even more about him, right, and she's still still defending him

and wanting to be in this relationship. I think this is kind of like the last time we had this conversation about like sometimes you gotta let your family just like go through the things and be there for them depending on like what ends up happening. And I think the thing is you show up for your sister and for this baby because this is your niece or nephew, and you be as supportive as you can and be there for her because it sounds like this is going

to go in the direction you think it's going. There's there are things you can't stop coming, and then you don't want to lose the relationship with your sister and your niece or nephew. So it's like, and if this guy's really a bad yeah, the baby's coming and coming and he's the dad. Yeah, and he's the dad. But if if, if, where was that going with that? I don't know, but I was passionate about, Yeah, you're feeling oh, yeah,

he's a baby. She's having a baby. And if this guy is as bad as as we all think, it's all gonna come out in time. Yeah, it's all going to come on time. It's going to play itself out. You don't have to insert yourself. It's going to happen, and you're unfortunately you're gonna have to be there to pick up the pieces. But that's what friends and family

are for. Period. Yeah, I know, And I think it's like she knows that, but I think in her mind she's like, how can I prevent this from getting to that point, but I don't think you can can Yeah, I mean you she's tried like the other one. Oh my gosh, she's gonna marry this guy and we hate him, like she's about to make a stupid mistake. Like there's more to stop there. Yeah, this one. The baby's coming and he's the dad. That's reality and that's not going to change. So I think you got to pull back

and let it play itself out. Yeah, you do. Wish you all the best. Indeed, we do. Congrats on your new like find the joy and be there be a light in this situation where it feels like there's some you know, struggle. Yeah, and that's all you can do. Antononymous, beautiful anton One, Yeah, ant Antona. Well that's a podcast number two today, the better of the two. Yeah, obviously, we'll say though I feel like we had a couple good nuggets in the first one. We tried to bring

them back for the second. If we find it, we can put it up as a bonus episode. I'll have eepa here's a very similar version of what you've already heard. Enjoy.
