The sentencing hearing was ready to begin.

What we're about to play for you are real excerpts from that day.

If I could press a button and rewind it all, I would.

Almost 30 years together, four kids, and some of reality TV's most unforgettable moments, we know a thing or two about living life out loud.

We're taking you behind the scenes in our new podcast, Between Us, with me, Heather Dubrow.

And me, Terry Dubrow.

Between Us isn't about perfect lighting or curated Instagram grids.

It's the unfiltered, behind-closed-doors conversations you wish you could eavesdrop on.

Equal parts smart, funny, and a little bit scandalous.

Every week, Heather will bring you an unapologetic take on the headlines, the trends, and the cultural moments everyone's texting about.

And Terry will deliver insider beauty, health, and wellness insights you won't find on TikTok.

Together, we'll tell the stories, spill the secrets, and share the hacks that keep life, marriage, and everything in between feeling fresh and fun.

And plenty of, did they just say that moments?

The hearing began with a statement by one of Mike's defense attorneys.

He was determined to get the minimum possible penalty for his client, and he pulled out every stop to make that happen.

The attorney had witnesses prepared to testify to Mike's strong character, and he had letters from Mike's family, friends, and coworkers, all saying the same thing.

Mike was a good man.

On top of that, Mike had been given a psych evaluation.

It's commonly done in criminal cases to help inform sentencing decisions.

Mike's evaluator said he was a low risk to society.
