Chapter 1: What happens in the Love is Blind reunion?
This is my money launderer. I just keep him here for fun.
He also helps me with my laundry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We have a coin business. It's really over the mark.
The legal expert that she is, Emily, will answer some of our legal questions later this episode. Maybe she'll have some tea about the Menendez brothers in Peabody. Really, she is an encyclopedia of legal knowledge, and we are excited to have Emily back with us. Once again, knowledge, unfortunately. Well, I mean, I am happy for me, but I'm running away with this, guys.

Chapter 2: What legal issues surround Ryan Reynolds?
Chapter 3: How did Ramses feel about his Love is Blind edit?
Who cares? People are mad that she's, anyone who is like mad at the gender of their child is like so fucking weird to me.
I saw a tweet that suggests wasted opportunity for, because, you know, this boy won't appreciate as Barbie as their mom.
Okay, what if he was cool?
Maybe she's raising an anti-Ken. You don't know.
Also, can her son grow up to be a Barbie fan?
Weird.
Anyways, yeah.
I do wonder if Margot Robbie will have the same issues that I have. Leigh, I wonder if you struggle with this as well. But it is that of intrusive thoughts. And I thought that I was... just like sick in the head. And it would be like any time we did absolutely anything, I would like picture the worst thing happening.
It's like every time we're in the car, I'm like, I go through this green light and like an 18 wheeler is going to run the red light and hit us. It's like every or it's like River is doing something and she's going to fall and have a concussion or she's going to like go to bed and then she's going to sleep on a concussion. She won't wake up. It's like these terrible, terrible, terrible thoughts.

Chapter 4: What was the fallout from the RHOC reunion?
I was like, no, I'm sure you did.
Cause you're a nice person.
If I had to guess, I would say James Vanderbeek is a people pleaser and probably just felt very much like, well, he, he specifically said there's no playbook for how to announce these things, but I plan on talking about it at length with people magazine at some point soon to raise awareness and tell my story on my own terms.
But that plan had to be altered early this morning when I was informed that a tabloid was going to run the news.
So he's basically pressured to release the information. I feel like that statement, like it's a very disgusting, disgusting thing when tabloids like leak information that's so personal and so like just unethical.
We talked about this on Plus last week where like Perez Hilton has made a career on leaking information.
How?
can't why isn't that that illegal which like why is it to some degree it has become yeah it's like why doesn't tabloids have to follow the same like hippo laws that like i mean i know they're not doctors they're not taking the oath but like people's medical information shouldn't be like so freely passed around well i think with the tabloid it's already passed hippo i think hippo really only like no yeah i don't think it's going to be a hippo thing but it just seems wrong that you people should are allowed to just talk about people's health so free like media outlets yeah
I mean when Kate the royal when she had yeah I mean her situation was different but or like when TMZ like released information about like Kobe Bryant's death before his family knew it's just like I feel like the James Van Der Beek thing though a lot of it is like that statement was kind of him trying to take the narrative back from that tabloid versus like It wasn't an apology.

Chapter 5: What are the key takeaways from the RHOSLC recap?
Do you Google Zendaya?
I've definitely Googled Zendaya.
Okay. You know? One of my flexes is I saw Zendaya perform at the Sacramento State Fair way before she was famous.
What was the last thing y'all Googled? Why don't you pull it up?
Hackers. Why don't you pull it up? I have private on, so I can't check.
Oh, my God. Mine is, who won football?
Mine is, when was Da Vinci alive?

Have you listened to the show?
I don't know.
We want to applaud you. Listen, I was just going to say, I've heard everything. I don't take it personally. I recognize there's a lot to talk about, so I'm happy to answer questions.
What?
I want to applaud you because honestly, I feel like so many people who go through similar experiences on other reality TV shows or Love is Blind will take these comments so personally and be like, Nick hates us or this show. Like, fuck this show. I'm never talking to the show. So I do really want to like applaud you.
And we appreciate you coming on to share the context and share your side of things. A hundred percent.
we definitely don't say things to get people to come on to defend themselves but uh because we obviously were just watching a show that we recognize can be edited and we don't meet these people but you're right like honestly you show it up man we if nothing else we give you a lot of credit because we were definitely i don't think we've been harder on anyone else on the show no i i get it i understand that you can only really comment on you know what you're seeing and
that's understandable but i'm happy to you know provide context and sort of some explanations i know amazing what is perceived seems really wild and i promise like i'm not that person that people are trying to make me out to be but happy to talk about it okay so let's get into that so we obviously we recognize the show can be edited it is edited and things like that and you kind of alluded to that at the reunion that being said as someone who knows what it's like to be on reality tv

Chapter 7: What were the reactions to Marissa's behavior?
So my thing with the so no. So when we decided, you know, what our sort of solution was going to be, it was pretty much, yeah, mixture of pull out game and her cycle and sort of moving forward. She also agreed with me at the point that, you know, using a condom every single time in a marriage was probably not the most feasible thing or the thing that we both wanted in that situation.
But even with the kids, you know, that's a conversation we had in the pods about what our timeline would look like. And so even in that conversation, like the timeline had changed with her. And so that kind of caught me off guard. But I had no point. I recognize the risk that we're taking, especially, you know, playing the pullout game. I recognize the risk that we're playing there.
And if we were to have kids there, that's a responsibility I would take upon myself and, you know, we would handle that situation. You know, that's, that's a risk that you're playing. And I would have more than more than happy to take that responsibility if we had kids.
So I under, yeah, I appreciate all of this context and we had Marissa on and she did bring up the vasectomy conversation and how that was included. But,
cut out of the edit I do think unfortunately the edit was against you because it was very much Marissa being like some of the best sex I've ever had is with a condom and you being like well I need to enjoy sex and I don't enjoy sex with a condom so I do think the edit was a little bit against you in that conversation you're not alone there Ramses no one
I don't think anyone's a fan of it.
I mean, I think I felt like I just said the quiet part out loud. And but it's just the way it was perceived. It's it didn't look great on me. And I honestly watching it back, my jaw was on the floor because I recognize what the conversation was. And I knew immediately, like what the perception was going to be in that moment. So it was a rough watching those conversations back for sure.
OK, but you understand everyone's opinion because you clearly had the same watching it back. Just being like, oh, no.
Listen, if I was an outside viewer watching this conversation back, I'd be like, yeah, this guy's a douchebag. But immediately. So trust me, I understand.

Chapter 8: How did the podcast hosts feel about the reunion dynamics?
Like, do you feel like... Like, in that moment when she said that, did you kind of give like a, oh, fuck, how is this going to be looked at in a way? Am I making sense? It's like the... it's like a trump card conversation where it's like, you're trying to connect with her and she's like, well, I'm on my period.
Uh, which obviously as we're all watching, we're like, fuck this guy, you know, like, yeah, I get it.
Um, yeah, no, of course. Like I, I've, I've always, and I know it, it, again, like it probably doesn't, it doesn't come off that way, but I, when I approach conversations, I try to be very understanding, considerate of, especially, you know, when it comes to a partner, um, of where they are in that moment, where there's, you know, it,
whatever issues they may be dealing with, I would never try to, you know, either force myself or, or try to put her into a position where she has to, you know, she's dealing with all of these issues, but she has to some, for some reason or another prioritize, you know, my, my sexual pleasure or prioritize how I'm feeling in the moment.
And so I, I understand why, you know, she was pissed off and, you know, she's dealing with all of these things. Um, and so I understand why she in that moment, maybe didn't want to have that conversation, you know, um, Unfortunately, like in this experience, we we don't have the luxury of time.
And so there are times we're going to have conversations that we maybe don't want to have in the moment or we may be pushed into a situation where we have to speak on something because every day is different. Every day, you know, you're presented with new issues in this experience and you just don't have a lot of time. And so I recognize that, you know, and I see you can see it on her face.
I recognize that she's uncomfortable. And so it was a it was a difficult conversation. It was I. I wanted me to recognize where she was at, but also communicate what I was feeling in the moment. Because we were less than a week out at that point, I believe, before the marriage.
The timeline makes a lot of sense in terms of when anything happens in these moments, like you're describing. I think in real life, we have the benefit of saying to ourselves, maybe now is not the time. I'll table that for a second. And then maybe a couple of weeks later, you bring something up, hey, you know, this happened in the past and I want to talk about it when you're not feeling triggered.
But yeah, you don't have that benefit of being like, well, I guess I just need to address it now. Here we go.
