Hello, friends, and welcome back to What's the Reality? It's your girl, AD. And y'all, I cannot wait to talk to today's guest. You will recognize him as one of the incredible experts from Married at First Sight. He's a relationship and marriage counselor who always keeps it real and brings so much wisdom to the show. Please help me welcome the amazing Pastor Cal to the podcast. Hey. Hi, Pastor Cal. I'm so excited to talk to you.
Oh, it is my pleasure. My pleasure.
Thank you for joining. So how are you?
I'm great. You know, I'm great. You know, look, I have nothing to complain about because who wants to hear complaints?
Yeah.
Okay, so let's jump into things. So season 19 of Married at First Sight just aired. 19 seasons is insane. How did you first get involved with the show?
16 seasons ago. My wife and I had been doing marriage coaching and we had been doing conferences and online coaching and just a lot of stuff we've been doing practically our whole marriage. And we were actually contacted by a casting agent who wanted us to find a couple for one of their other shows. Kinetic Content is the producer, the production company. They want us to find a couple for one of their other shows way back in the day called Seven Year Switch. So we found them a couple and they loved the couple. But while the couple was on the show, they kept talking about us. And well, they would say, you know, that's not what Pastor Cal said. That's not what Whitney said. So the more we talked, they wanted to talk with us and film us in a session with that couple.
So while we were doing that, they were texting the EP, and the cameraman was texting the EP, and the showrunner was texting Chris Colen, and it was just a lot going on, saying, you've got to hear this guy, you've got to really listen to this couple. So we had a meeting and they asked me what I felt about the show and how would I change things and what would I do? And I gave them some very straightforward advice, some of my opinions, and they liked it. So they asked me to be a part of the show and the rest is history.
The rest is history. That is amazing. You have been such a staple on the show. Your presence is so needed there. Like you are, when I think expert, I'm like Pastor Cal. expert oh yes so thank you so much coming from you that's quite a compliment oh please let's talk about your wife Wendy the two of you work together as a team what is that like and how do you and Wendy like helping out couples
Oh, yeah. Well, you know what? It's funny because Wendy and I, we're both second-timers. We tell people that, you know, openly and honestly. You know, we made some very stupid mistakes. Well, we didn't, but, you know, our marriages were mistakes. The first time around, we got married very dumb and very, very, very young. And, you know, those didn't work. But we found each other about 18 years ago, and we've been married for 17 years now. And at the beginning of our marriage, we decided that we're going to make sure that we do what's necessary to help couples avoid marriage. some of the pitfalls of marriage, of some of the pitfalls you can fall into and some of the issues that can arise just out of bad decisions.
And we feel that we both actually came from environments that were not healthy. And so we decided that we're going to do everything within our power. So we started talking to couples. And as we talked to couples, they got better and better. And then it grew and grew. And before we know it, here we are now, you know, roughly about 17, maybe about 16 years, we've been doing this. You know, I was doing, I was a marriage counselor long before her as a pastoral counselor. But her with a nursing background, she came aboard and it's been incredible. She brings a different perspective. She brings, when we talk to couples, you know, outside of the show, whatever, when we talk to couples individually, it's always great because she brings a perspective that I can't see quite often.
You know, she, she, she sees, um, she sees a different side of things and, and it's always, it's just always good because, uh, people that were couples that we're talking to, they love it because it's not just a guy's point of view or just, you know, it's, it's, it's our point of view.
