I don't know how you feel about it, Zach, but it's my favorite show on TV. I'm warming up to it. You women give so much of your lives. You're so vulnerable. I think as fans of reality TV, and I say this as someone who's been on it before,

you know, it's, and we do, we, we, we go on the show, especially our reality recap episodes, and we watch these shows and we snark and we, we criticize and we make fun. And that's kind of part of the gig. You know, it's like, I'm a sports fan too, right? Like part of being a sports fan is short for fanatic.

So we watch this stuff so that we can talk about it with our friends and break it down and talk shit and get into it. But when it comes to reality TV, You know, I think we sometimes forget about the people who are behind the cameras. And, you know, certainly there's an edit and things like that.

But the blessing, what we get to do here in the Viola Files and going deeper is the opportunity to get to know the people and understand, you know, a little more context about what we are watching on these shows. And so I thank you guys for coming and showing up because clearly you guys have been a couple that's been highly scrutinized in the first two seasons. And, and, Clearly, it's been a lot.

So I first would like to start with just Jen. Like, how are you doing mentally? You had to leave season two. I don't know where we are in terms of of coming back. And I imagine you probably can't answer that anyway. So I'm not going to press you. But as we sit here today, how is your mental health and how are you doing with your pregnancy?

how did you guys decide as a couple, um, and what ultimately led to the decision for you guys to take a leave of absence? I don't know if that's what it's called from the show, but basically leave the show and at least, at least for the time being, put a pause on your being a part of mom talk in Mormon lives.

I want to unpack all of this, but I do want to rewind a little bit and just kind of like start at the beginning and like, how did you guys meet for one? I'd love to hear that quick story. And then I would love to know how,

how you guys decided as a couple to be a part of MomTalk and specifically Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, because I see the draw for you and the MomTalk community and all the influencers, but you seem, like the perception is you were never on board. You seem incredibly uncomfortable with this whole thing.
