Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Lidl. Cheaper prices since 2002. And still cheaper. Lidl. It's worth it. Loman loppuminen ja pakkaaminen voi tuntua ikävältä. Jopa niin ikävältä, että laukkujen kasaaminen oven eteen tuntuu hyvältä ajatukselta. Säärebori. Lomia, joiden et soisi loppuvan.
Jared Osman.
Hi. Welcome to the show. Thanks for having me.
How are you? You know, I'm a little nervous.
Are you?
Not really.
It's like that was a lie.
It's a little bit of a lie. I'm not really nervous. How are you guys?
We're doing pretty good.

Chapter 2: How does Jared feel about being on reality TV?
I didn't know who Brittany Bateman was. You didn't Facebook her? Nothing. No. Didn't MySpace it? Nothing. But we eventually had mutual friends that put us together and we became, we really did. We leaned on the friendship. Sure. That's kind of been our story.
Okay. Back to the casting of Brittany. Yeah. Like, are you saying that like you guys got cast together or you feel like,
No, no. Brittany is good on her own. She deserves the snowflake that I've been hearing about, whatever that is. She's a star. She's a star. She's really talented. This girl can sing and dance. She grew up more of an Osmond than I did, but she's great.
I just didn't understand that when they started filming season five, I was sitting in her kitchen and the producer looked at me and said, you're not going to film because I didn't sign the waiver. And so I'm not filming. What was the expectation that I would film? And I could see it in Brittany's eyes that she's like, come on, you're part of my story. Let's be part of my story.
I didn't realize though, that that would also by signing that waiver, create this tidal wave for me. And it has been a tidal wave of not all great things. Like what? Oh, man. Well, after the end of season five, and again, remember, I didn't even watch one episode of The Housewives ever until I saw myself on there. I'm like, I didn't say that.
And it's just, you know, they'll film for two and a half hours and I'll get a two and a half minute edit. And it's always the bad stuff. Whatever sounds the most misogynistic seems to get thrown out there. And I'm not saying I'm perfect.
Is there anything specific that was aired that you feel like I didn't say that? You referenced my time on reality TV, and certainly I know what it's like to have things be taken out of context, and certainly I'm aware that in the editing room, they can really do whatever they want. That being said...
it's sometimes, you know, if you see it, it's like, I've learned that if you see it coming out of the person's mouth, they probably said it, you know, if you don't see it coming out of their mouth and you kind of hear their voice, you know, then maybe there's some very clever stuff, but there's, you know, there, yeah. What, what, what haven't you seen?
Cause I will say some of the stuff I've seen you say, it's like,

Chapter 3: What challenges does Jared face in his relationship with Brittany?
Fair. That's extremely fair. Okay. Wow. I think I have, and there's no excuse. We all have trauma. I have, I have traumatic things I've dealt with. Uh, and this show has, has climbed to the top of that list. And she has told me several times that she needs me to show up a certain way. And even when we're broken up, I mean, I show up.
I mean, I, I tell her all the time, it's like, look, I'm here every day. Even when we've been broken up, I'll show up and I'm a contractor. And so I'll bring my guys to fix things in her house and do things that are nice for her. But she wants that.
And she even mentioned last time Brittany was here that she had some travel issues. You showed her for her there and helped her get on, which we appreciate.
I love the girl and I care about her. And it's been, you're not wrong. You're not wrong. So the hard thing is the context that is missing. There's so many inner workings in a relationship. There's so many private moments people are really not entitled to. They don't know. They don't see the things that she and I have been through. There are private, sacred things.
And that's not an excuse for not showing up. I just have struggled with it and I have struggled. Um, and it's caused that reaction with her. She's a great woman. She's a sweetheart. So yeah, I have to own that.
Without getting into the, I don't want you to have to share anything you're not comfortable with sharing, but like, I guess what is stopping you? I mean, you can own it. It's like one thing to be like, yeah, no, that's fair. I have to do that. Uh, as you pointed out a couple of times, you're 55 years old. You
i'm 45 you know it's like yeah at this point like are we going to change you know are we going to really be a con we're not going to change you know you are who you are no i think that you are who you are i think that people don't change i think that they that they learn and adapt i think that that's the relationship i think any good relationship is about this kind and gentle approach you know i'm not a guy that screams and yells i'm not an abusive person that's not
And I'm not the guy that's going to run around and cheat. That's not who I am. That's true. And people ask me all the time, why don't you just go all in? I'm trying. We are. We're together. We are together. We're talking about all things, including marriage. But there is timing behind this.
And the timing truly is at this age, and it's just a number, we have other things to consider, including our children.

Chapter 4: What insights does Jared share about his relationship with Brittany?
They said it.
They warned me. You bet. So we're going to bring Brittany in here momentarily. But I guess before we do, I'm just like, how do you see this going or how would you like your relationship with Brittany and your relationship with Bravo to move forward?
Brittany is a Bravo-lebrity, right? So that's what everybody calls her. And I want her relationship to continue with Bravo. I think mine's done.
You keep saying I think.
Chapter 5: How does Jared envision his future with Bravo?
Well, I'm not going to totally put myself in that corner of saying, well, I'm never going to do anything. But I think I'm done. I'm done giving Bravo all this content.
But I think that, I think you saying I think every time you say it is meaningful. The same way you try to quit Britney. I mean, you kind of sound like the 25, you know, 20, you know, the 22 year old me or the 22 year old girl is like, yeah, we're done. No, I will call it.
Oh my God, I'm so done with them. I will call it right here. I'm done.
Chapter 6: What challenges do they face in their relationship?
Filming. Filming. Okay. It's not my thing. It's not my life. I really think the story doesn't need to be about Brittany and I all the time anymore. Brittany is so good on her own, and she brings so much content to the show. She's so interesting to watch. She's raw and vulnerable.
But if, let's assume Brittany continues on this show.
Chapter 7: How do they plan to navigate their relationship moving forward?
Yeah.
I hope she does. And let's assume you guys figure it out.
Yeah.
You will, I mean, you are a part of her life.
Of course.
So whether you film or not.
Of course.
You're going to have to figure out how you, you will certainly get brought up and discussed in a way. For sure. That's going to irritate you. You seem to have a, like a relation with Heather.
Oh yeah. We're, I really like Heather. She's great.
