A Shocking Break Up From One Of The Most Adored and Revered Couples In Sports · I Do, Part 2

0:02
Speaker 1: Hey, that folks.
0:02
Speaker 2: It is Saturday, April eighteenth, and two sports icons who
0:08
Speaker 2: formed the ultimate sports power couples has now called it quits. Yes,
0:14
Speaker 2: Megan Rapino and Supbird just let us all know that
0:18
Speaker 2: they are ending their relationship. And with that, welcome to
0:20
Speaker 2: this episode of Amy and TJ and I guess Robes.
0:23
Speaker 2: Not since Ben and Jin have we been this upset
0:27
Speaker 2: about a couple breaking up.
0:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, we saw the news late yesterday and as soon
0:31
Speaker 3: as you said that Sue Bird and Meghan Rapino were splitting,
0:37
Speaker 3: my heart sank it really. Look I understand that everyone
0:41
Speaker 3: we don't know what goes on inside everyone else's relationships,
0:45
Speaker 3: but they were two women who I think a lot
0:48
Speaker 3: of people looked up to and looked too in terms
0:51
Speaker 3: of relationship goals. And so it's always sad when you
0:53
Speaker 3: see a couple that seems like they've got it all
0:56
Speaker 3: figured out that and they shared so much of their
0:59
Speaker 3: relationship with us, we all kind of felt like we
1:01
Speaker 3: were a part of it. So yeah, to hear that
1:03
Speaker 3: they're calling it quits is just it's just really really sad.
1:07
Speaker 2: You know, we know a lot about Look, there are
1:09
Speaker 2: power couple, celebrity couples.
1:11
Speaker 1: Out there.
1:13
Speaker 2: This is one I was trying to think of one
1:15
Speaker 2: that was more prominent as a couple, right we see, Yes,
1:19
Speaker 2: you know jay Z and Beyonce, but you don't see
1:22
Speaker 2: them together all the time or having projects together. These
1:25
Speaker 2: two seem like so much of their life was them
1:30
Speaker 2: being a couple. From their professional ventures. They're always on
1:33
Speaker 2: red carpete together. I could picture them sitting courtside at games.
1:37
Speaker 2: They did a lot. What was the ESPN show they
1:39
Speaker 2: did together? Even right they were doing some commentary. They're
1:43
Speaker 2: just roves that they were. If you saw one, you
1:46
Speaker 2: saw the other. So that's why I felt like this
1:48
Speaker 2: couple felt Yeah.
1:49
Speaker 3: Sue and Meghan reminded me of my other favorite podcasting
1:53
Speaker 3: sports adjacent couple, Abby Wanbach and Glennon Doyle, And like
1:59
Speaker 3: you see, those are like two female power couples who
2:02
Speaker 3: have podcasts, who share their relationships and who were all
2:05
Speaker 3: invested in So yes, Sue and Megan were. They were
2:10
Speaker 3: relationship goals. I really feel like that's the best way
2:12
Speaker 3: to put it. Like best friends. They had so many
2:15
Speaker 3: shared experiences. They were both Olympians, they were both at
2:17
Speaker 3: the top of their game in their professional lives and
2:20
Speaker 3: then joining forces together. It just it felt like the
2:24
Speaker 3: perfect I don't want to say ending, but new beginning,
2:26
Speaker 3: because so often you see people who were sports heroes
2:30
Speaker 3: once they end their careers, it's kind of like they
2:32
Speaker 3: just dwindle off and they're a little they don't know
2:34
Speaker 3: what to do. These two women had it figured out,
2:36
Speaker 3: they had their second chapter and it was together. And
2:39
Speaker 3: maybe because we podcast together and work together, maybe I'm
2:43
Speaker 3: more in tune with folks who do that same thing.
2:46
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's just it's sad that they couldn't figure
2:49
Speaker 3: it out or it wasn't working anymore. I know.
2:50
Speaker 2: It's something that people often say and remark, well, hope
2:57
Speaker 2: they're kind of amazed that just people are able to
3:01
Speaker 2: spend that much time together as a couple, and some
3:03
Speaker 2: will say that it's to the detriment, like there's no
3:07
Speaker 2: way that's gonna be okay or that's gonna work out.
3:10
Speaker 2: And so anytime I do see couples and I saw
3:13
Speaker 2: them spending that kind of time together together all the time, smiling,
3:16
Speaker 2: having a good time, doing fun stuff, it seemed so
3:20
Speaker 2: I think it's that robes. I think we've watched them
3:22
Speaker 2: for so long be so happy at least in our
3:26
Speaker 2: eyes and we kind of forget that it's a relationship
3:29
Speaker 2: just like anybody else's, and that's the truth of the matter.
3:31
Speaker 1: It is no matter what. And they probably had even.
3:34
Speaker 2: More challenges you could argue with being in the public
3:38
Speaker 2: all the time. So I don't know how much that,
3:41
Speaker 2: if it played any role. We don't know what happened
3:44
Speaker 2: behind the scenes, but Robes it's because of all that,
3:46
Speaker 2: because certainly you and I know what a lot of
3:49
Speaker 2: that feels like.
3:50
Speaker 1: But it's just there was.
3:51
Speaker 2: Something about how intertwined that life, that relationship seemed to
3:56
Speaker 2: be that now feels like, like what do you mean
3:59
Speaker 2: you're breaking up?
4:00
Speaker 4: Right?
4:00
Speaker 3: And look, these were two women who know what it's
4:02
Speaker 3: like to be teammates. They that was part of their
4:07
Speaker 3: game that rose them to fame. They knew how to
4:09
Speaker 3: work well with others and how to collaborate, and so
4:12
Speaker 3: it seemed like it made perfect sense that these two
4:15
Speaker 3: consummate professionals who were part of that team mentality came
4:18
Speaker 3: together and became their own team. And so you're rooting
4:21
Speaker 3: for them almost like you would root for his sports team.
4:23
Speaker 3: Like I don't know if that's if that makes any sense,
4:26
Speaker 3: but that's kind of how I look at it, the
4:28
Speaker 3: lens through which I looked at their relationship and.
4:30
Speaker 2: In sports wrote you mentioned Abby Womback was obviously a
4:34
Speaker 2: legend in the couple what's Glennduyl glennd Doyle and taking
4:38
Speaker 2: nothing away from that couple and how they work together
4:42
Speaker 2: and how prominent they are, how successful they are, these
4:44
Speaker 2: two women. It's difficult to find bigger icons of American
4:49
Speaker 2: women's sports than these two women. They are legends in
4:54
Speaker 2: their respective sports. Megan Rappino, in particular, robes. She that
5:00
Speaker 2: was the one that helped continue to carry that torch
5:02
Speaker 2: that the nineteen ninety nine World Cup women did.
5:05
Speaker 1: Right.
5:05
Speaker 2: Megan Rapino was in that twenty twelve, twenty fifteen, twenty nineteen,
5:08
Speaker 2: that group that was winning Olympic gold medals, that was winning.
5:11
Speaker 1: Two World Cups.
5:12
Speaker 2: She and then after that role, she became even further
5:16
Speaker 2: iconic by being outspoken and speaking up for pushing for
5:20
Speaker 2: equal pay, for pushing for equal rights. She is a
5:24
Speaker 2: They are robes other level legends that then came together
5:29
Speaker 2: to form this legendary couple.
5:31
Speaker 1: And you want to tell me that's over now, I
5:33
Speaker 1: will not accept it.
5:34
Speaker 3: I know, And to think you know I was getting
5:36
Speaker 3: chills because I had the privilege of being able to
5:38
Speaker 3: watch Megan Rapino perform and do what she does at
5:41
Speaker 3: the Olympics and then get to sit down and talk
5:44
Speaker 3: with her about her fight for equal pay. This was
5:46
Speaker 3: a woman who was a She's a pioneer for sure,
5:49
Speaker 3: but a fighter. So these two women who fought and
5:52
Speaker 3: know how to win. So it's just I just want
5:54
Speaker 3: to say, keep fighting, there's a way through it. What
5:57
Speaker 3: brought you together can keep you together. And I understand
6:00
Speaker 3: we both obviously have gone through a relationship I hate
6:03
Speaker 3: to say cycle, but I understand what can happen and
6:06
Speaker 3: how things can unravel. But it's just sad. I think
6:11
Speaker 3: we all need and we all look to finding examples
6:15
Speaker 3: of people who figured it out through the tough times,
6:17
Speaker 3: through the hard times, through the uncomfortable times, and stuck together.
6:21
Speaker 3: And we need those those couples to I guess, to
6:25
Speaker 3: light the way or to at least inspire us through
6:28
Speaker 3: the tough times. There is you can get to the
6:30
Speaker 3: other side. You can get to the other side. So
6:32
Speaker 3: it's just it's disappointing, you know, and it's I'm sure
6:36
Speaker 3: they're doing what's best for them. And we certainly wish
6:39
Speaker 3: the best for them individuals. Oh, it's just heartbreaking. It's
6:42
Speaker 3: hard like I felt, you know, I felt this Jen
6:44
Speaker 3: and Ben for sure. And it's funny. Jen Anison and
6:47
Speaker 3: Brad Pitt also threw me like there are some couples
6:49
Speaker 3: when they break up, it's just it's gutting.
6:52
Speaker 1: You mentioned that one. Uh, we didn't care about that one.
6:56
Speaker 1: Well care, I just wasn't invested in them the.
7:00
Speaker 3: Way you didn't watch Friends.
7:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, that wasn't my lane.
7:04
Speaker 2: And they were young, and they were young hot Starlet's
7:06
Speaker 2: kind of a thing them not making it in Hollywood. Okay,
7:11
Speaker 2: I can see that, you know what. The one that
7:12
Speaker 2: got me was freaking Nicole Kidman and what.
7:16
Speaker 3: Keith Nicole Kidman?
7:18
Speaker 1: That was tough. That one through me.
7:21
Speaker 2: See some of these this is the thing and you
7:22
Speaker 2: just said it robes and this is why these things
7:25
Speaker 2: hurt as much and it feel as personal as they do,
7:27
Speaker 2: because you do see someone that you go, oh, it
7:31
Speaker 2: can work, see and then ten years later you go, oh, crap,
7:37
Speaker 2: what chance do I have.
7:39
Speaker 1: It's hopeless.
7:39
Speaker 2: It's eventually going to end, even when it's great, even
7:42
Speaker 2: when it looks great, even when everything's perfect.
7:44
Speaker 1: It's still alter. That part hurts baby and it.
7:50
Speaker 2: And I guess when you have such a high profile,
7:53
Speaker 2: successful couple that I don't roads. I haven't seen anything
7:56
Speaker 2: out there that suggested along the way they had bumps
7:59
Speaker 2: or had problems or had none of that. Every couple
8:03
Speaker 2: has it, but that kind of stuff didn't surround them,
8:06
Speaker 2: and so in my mind, we're going to see them forever.
8:10
Speaker 3: That's why it was show. It was so shocking to
8:13
Speaker 3: hear the news and for folks who are huge podcast listeners.
8:17
Speaker 3: I mean they even talk about when they put out
8:21
Speaker 3: this video which we'll share with you soon, about their breakup,
8:25
Speaker 3: and they acknowledged that they had given all of their
8:29
Speaker 3: listeners their relationship like this had been a huge through
8:32
Speaker 3: line in their podcast their relationship. And so, yes, people
8:36
Speaker 3: are invested there with you. They feel like they're in
8:39
Speaker 3: the room with you there and it's great they had
8:41
Speaker 3: this I'm sure huge following and this feeling of support.
8:45
Speaker 3: But maybe there's a lot of pressure that comes with that.
8:47
Speaker 3: I mean, we know we deal with that as well,
8:49
Speaker 3: and yes, we have plenty of hiccups behind the scenes.
8:52
Speaker 3: We are I think most like every other couple. We
8:55
Speaker 3: have arguments we have disagreements, we have difficulties.
8:59
Speaker 2: And share that right, Yes, I mean she mentioned in
9:03
Speaker 2: the video roades. You remember then she say we want
9:06
Speaker 2: to be transparent here because we've been transparent about other stuff. Yes,
9:09
Speaker 2: I mean do we is their value in going along
9:13
Speaker 2: the way? Hopping on here and say all right, Robot
9:15
Speaker 2: and I just had a big blow up and D
9:16
Speaker 2: D D. Because if you see us, for the most
9:19
Speaker 2: part roads when we're out in about, we look at
9:21
Speaker 2: happy as clamps.
9:22
Speaker 3: Oh and we almost always are, but there is always
9:25
Speaker 3: that other period of time when we're not. And that's
9:28
Speaker 3: true for any car.
9:29
Speaker 2: No, No, does that stuff need to be shared? Do
9:31
Speaker 2: you keep that private? Do you do you let people right?
9:35
Speaker 5: What?
9:35
Speaker 2: I feel different today if I had known more about
9:38
Speaker 2: Megan and Sue having issues along the way.
9:42
Speaker 1: Should I right?
9:43
Speaker 2: If there's something I elevated them to being something beyond
9:47
Speaker 2: just a normal couple, you know what?
9:49
Speaker 3: I think that's a good way to put it. And
9:50
Speaker 3: I think a lot of us do that when we
9:52
Speaker 3: look to power couples and we actually even compare their
9:56
Speaker 3: relationships to our relationships and say, wow, how come they've
9:59
Speaker 3: figured it? How come they have it so good? And
10:02
Speaker 3: sometimes you can assign it to beauty, wealth, fame, power. Oh,
10:06
Speaker 3: that's why it's easy for them. I think we've even
10:09
Speaker 3: said that about George Clooney and a Mall Clooney, Like, oh,
10:12
Speaker 3: how hard is that when you live on Lake Como
10:14
Speaker 3: and you have everyone paying doing everything for you. That's
10:18
Speaker 3: hard and difficult. Yes, it's easy to fall into that trap,
10:21
Speaker 3: especially when they purport to have no arguments and basically
10:24
Speaker 3: a perfect relationship. But I but it's Look, it's a
10:28
Speaker 3: tough line to walk when you're a public couple because
10:32
Speaker 3: how much do you share it? Because people want to
10:34
Speaker 3: weigh in, They think they know you, they think they
10:36
Speaker 3: get to comment and give you feedback, and that can
10:39
Speaker 3: feel difficult to receive. So yeah, there is a fine
10:43
Speaker 3: line for just about anybody in the public eye who
10:46
Speaker 3: is in a public relationship, and especially when you have
10:48
Speaker 3: Mike's in front of you and you connect with the
10:51
Speaker 3: people who listen to you and watch watch you. But
10:55
Speaker 3: how much do you owe them? That is a question.
10:57
Speaker 1: I'm sure many folks that's.
11:00
Speaker 2: Oh, oh is such a word. But they did put
11:03
Speaker 2: these statements out yesterday. They did a statement on Instagram
11:07
Speaker 2: first of fall, and then they had a video that
11:11
Speaker 2: they put out. They were going to play a clip
11:12
Speaker 2: of that for you, but they started the announcements. Really
11:15
Speaker 2: no smooth or easy way to share this news. After
11:17
Speaker 2: a lot of thought, we've made the decision to separate,
11:20
Speaker 2: as a couple, said, it hasn't been an easy decision,
11:22
Speaker 2: but it's one they made together with much love, respect
11:24
Speaker 2: and care for each other. They went on to, of course,
11:28
Speaker 2: think everybody for their support over the years. But then
11:31
Speaker 2: they put out a video and a lot of people
11:33
Speaker 2: are wondering what happens with this podcast that they've been
11:35
Speaker 2: doing together. I didn't realize the podcast only been around.
11:38
Speaker 1: Since twenty twenty four.
11:38
Speaker 3: I didn't realize that either.
11:40
Speaker 2: So they've been together ten years and started working together
11:43
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden.
11:44
Speaker 3: Oh right, we've been podcasting now for we were in
11:50
Speaker 3: our third year.
11:51
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, right, No, there's no suggestion that that
11:57
Speaker 2: had anything to do with it, but who knows. But
11:59
Speaker 2: here as the video they put out on social media
12:02
Speaker 2: a short time later. Yeah, you're gonna hear both of
12:06
Speaker 2: their voices in this, but it's a short clip of
12:08
Speaker 2: the two of them. This is that social media clip
12:10
Speaker 2: they put out.
12:12
Speaker 5: I guess I just want to say, like I hope
12:13
Speaker 5: you all know, we put a lot of thought and
12:16
Speaker 5: care into this. It's a decision that we made together.
12:22
Speaker 5: We're still going to be there for all of you
12:24
Speaker 5: and for each other. It's just gonna look and feel
12:27
Speaker 5: a little bit different. We truly are evolving into something
12:31
Speaker 5: new to each other, to ourselves, and to all of you,
12:35
Speaker 5: and we just wanted to, yeah, say thank you for
12:38
Speaker 5: sharing this space with us and giving us this space
12:42
Speaker 5: for us to find ourselves in a different way through
12:44
Speaker 5: this podcast.
12:45
Speaker 4: So yeah, like Megan said, we just want to end
12:48
Speaker 4: this video by saying thank you. Thank you for holding
12:51
Speaker 4: us all these years, for cheering for us, believing in us,
12:56
Speaker 4: following us from playing to retiring and now beyond. We
13:01
Speaker 4: are so, so so grateful, and we hope you'll continue
13:05
Speaker 4: with us on this next journey as well.
13:07
Speaker 1: Thank you. I mean, they were sweet. They were what
13:11
Speaker 1: we always They were.
13:13
Speaker 2: The same pleasant, two smiling faces we're used to seeing,
13:17
Speaker 2: and they were in that video together. And I don't know, Robes,
13:20
Speaker 2: you know what, The thing I that makes me feel
13:23
Speaker 2: sure that there is not reconciling is you don't go
13:28
Speaker 2: this far. This was a lot of thought, they knew
13:30
Speaker 2: what this mint. Even they knew what this mint, not
13:33
Speaker 2: just to fans, but Rope. There are people in their
13:35
Speaker 2: orbit that work for them, were part of the podcast.
13:38
Speaker 2: Like a lot of things are going to change. They
13:40
Speaker 2: didn't do this obviously lightly.
13:43
Speaker 3: I was also just in terms of just how serious
13:46
Speaker 3: and sure they were both about this look. Having been
13:48
Speaker 3: through breakups myself and very difficult ones break up, Yeah,
13:54
Speaker 3: that's what we'll call that. That's the term forces breakups,
13:57
Speaker 3: whatever the name you want to give it, but the
13:59
Speaker 3: idea you can sit with somebody and be calm and
14:02
Speaker 3: be kind, not have emotion, not be just devastated. And
14:08
Speaker 3: this was probably a long time coming in the sense
14:12
Speaker 3: that they had reached a place where they could could
14:14
Speaker 3: share this together with their fans and be able to
14:19
Speaker 3: be calm and respectful. I'm telling you that may sound
14:22
Speaker 3: like nothing, but that's remarkable in my opinion.
14:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's huge Robes and again they they get it
14:29
Speaker 2: to a certain degree about what they mean to the
14:32
Speaker 2: public and that the public doesn't need to see them
14:35
Speaker 2: acting as if they can't be in the same room
14:37
Speaker 2: or can't be on the same podcast. This was you
14:40
Speaker 2: know what they've They've done this well throughout and they
14:42
Speaker 2: were even doing the breakup correctly.
14:45
Speaker 1: It's impressed. That's very impressive. It's very impressive. You know
14:48
Speaker 1: what they know.
14:49
Speaker 2: I shouldn't. Well, I was about to say the wrong thing. Okay,
14:52
Speaker 2: it was a misstep.
14:53
Speaker 1: Sorry.
14:54
Speaker 2: I was about to make a Tom and Zendeia reference.
14:56
Speaker 2: I said they were showing us and leading us the
14:58
Speaker 2: way and how they kept their things private. I was
15:00
Speaker 2: about to say, maybe they're showing us the way of
15:02
Speaker 2: how to break.
15:03
Speaker 1: Up, but that was oh for other people, for other folks, and.
15:08
Speaker 2: They was gonna come out wrong. And that's why I
15:09
Speaker 2: stopped myself. And that's why I'm gonna take a quick
15:11
Speaker 2: break right now. When we come back, we're going to
15:13
Speaker 2: explain or not explain, but remind you just how big
15:17
Speaker 2: of a deal Sue Bird and Magan Repino are as
15:20
Speaker 2: sports legends and will tell you what their plans are. Yes,
15:23
Speaker 2: they did announce plans. What happens to this podcast now
15:26
Speaker 2: that they're doing together?
15:36
Speaker 1: All right?
15:36
Speaker 2: We continue here on Amy and TJ with the new
15:38
Speaker 2: super Bird Magan Rapino splitting up after ten years together. Robe,
15:41
Speaker 2: But I also didn't realize they've been engaged for six years.
15:45
Speaker 3: You never actually got married.
15:46
Speaker 2: I'm married yea, so they had been engaged. This is
15:49
Speaker 2: uh yeah, this was a tough one and ropes. A reminder, folks,
15:54
Speaker 2: Sue Bird is quite possibly my favorite at certainly one
16:01
Speaker 2: of but I fell in love with her because she
16:04
Speaker 2: went to Yukon and the Yukon Women when they first
16:06
Speaker 2: started that dynasty. She was a part of it, and
16:09
Speaker 2: she won two national championship of the Yukon. She was
16:12
Speaker 2: the number one overall draft pick in the WNBA, where
16:15
Speaker 2: she played twenty plus seasons with the same team out
16:18
Speaker 2: in Seattle, where she won four championships. The lady or
16:23
Speaker 2: this is legendary stuff. Five Olympic gold medals.
16:26
Speaker 3: Wow.
16:27
Speaker 2: Five, Yes, that legendary women's squad that just doesn't lose
16:30
Speaker 2: at the Olympics. Five medals with them.
16:33
Speaker 3: Bro.
16:34
Speaker 2: She finally retired in twenty twenty two, and she's a
16:36
Speaker 2: member of the Basketball Hall of Fame. Again, just a reminder.
16:39
Speaker 2: This isn't just some high profile athletes. She is iconic
16:42
Speaker 2: and that's amazing.
16:43
Speaker 3: She retired four years ago. She's forty five, so yes,
16:47
Speaker 3: she was forty one. She was still bawling like with
16:49
Speaker 3: the best of them.
16:50
Speaker 2: They say longevity is a part of greatness as well,
16:53
Speaker 2: and she is everything in.
16:55
Speaker 3: Basketball that's incredible. And of course Megan Rappino forty years old,
16:59
Speaker 3: two World Cup titles, she has an Olympic gold medal
17:02
Speaker 3: from twenty twelve. She retired in twenty twenty three, so
17:04
Speaker 3: it's interesting they retired together pretty much within a year
17:08
Speaker 3: of one another.
17:09
Speaker 1: And she played out there in Seattle as well.
17:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, so and there they're even Seattle icons as a
17:15
Speaker 2: couple and as individuals.
17:16
Speaker 1: It's just Ah Rose. But yes, they transferred.
17:20
Speaker 2: After they got became a power couple, they became a
17:23
Speaker 2: power podcasting couple.
17:25
Speaker 1: But I didn't realize it. I don't know.
17:28
Speaker 2: It seem like they've been podcasting forever, but it's only
17:29
Speaker 2: been around two years.
17:30
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty four, they launched a touch more and they
17:34
Speaker 3: announced that they are going to do six more episodes,
17:37
Speaker 3: but separately, so I don't know if they'll do three
17:40
Speaker 3: each or that was a little bit unclear, but there's
17:42
Speaker 3: six more episodes and they will handle them on their own.
17:45
Speaker 2: Oh is ever, I thought they were going to do
17:46
Speaker 2: six last special goodbye episodes together individually, and you please,
17:51
Speaker 2: I didn't understand at all. And when that one's going
17:53
Speaker 2: to wrap up, but it is wrapping up. They're not
17:54
Speaker 2: handing it off to anybody.
17:55
Speaker 3: They're not handing it off. It's over. But then we
17:58
Speaker 3: heard from Super that she is going to launch her
18:00
Speaker 3: own podcast, and Meghan Rappino has her own individual podcast
18:05
Speaker 3: as well. She doesn't she doesn't have a name. That's
18:06
Speaker 3: going to come this summer. Sue Bird's like ready to go.
18:10
Speaker 2: Podcast, She said, Second Bird's Eye views you very good.
18:13
Speaker 2: They're launching their second season of that, so they're gonna
18:16
Speaker 2: still have their voices and still be out there. I
18:18
Speaker 2: don't know how much they'll partner or do anything in
18:20
Speaker 2: public together robe this is look they are smiling in
18:24
Speaker 2: that video. This hurts like hell behind the scenes. Robes,
18:27
Speaker 2: ten years of a life together, all they've built, all
18:30
Speaker 2: they have on their homes, all their friends, all their
18:32
Speaker 2: family robes. We know this hurts behind the scenes. So
18:38
Speaker 2: I haven't seen a lot of comments or anything out there,
18:40
Speaker 2: but I can't imagine anything other than just pain. And
18:44
Speaker 2: folks are just sending love to these two.
18:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is a tough time, but I
18:49
Speaker 3: was so impressed with the brave face that they both
18:52
Speaker 3: put on and just it seemed as though there was
18:55
Speaker 3: still there was still love and respect there, and that
18:58
Speaker 3: I think makes it more like painful for people watching,
19:01
Speaker 3: because you start thinking, like, if there's love and respect,
19:04
Speaker 3: why can't you guys figure it out? But they know
19:06
Speaker 3: what's best and they know what's happened between them that
19:09
Speaker 3: we don't know, and we'll never know, and we shouldn't know.
19:12
Speaker 3: That's a private thing. And I just was super impressed
19:15
Speaker 3: on how they handle this as painful it is as
19:17
Speaker 3: it is to watch. They did it as as well
19:21
Speaker 3: as you can.
19:22
Speaker 2: And yeah, you the relationship ends in the public not
19:25
Speaker 2: taking a side. Right, everybody's on their side. You don't
19:28
Speaker 2: need to be on Megan's or Sew's.
19:31
Speaker 3: Ow you make such a good point of a breakup.
19:33
Speaker 3: You're rooting for them both. There isn't a bad person
19:36
Speaker 3: and a good person. There isn't an enemy, and that
19:38
Speaker 3: is the truth in most relationships. Yes, it's not one person.
19:42
Speaker 3: It takes two people. And so it was so wonderful
19:44
Speaker 3: to see two women who were splitting up and they
19:48
Speaker 3: just did it honestly beautifully.
19:50
Speaker 2: I wrote the line, you maybe think of Ben and
19:52
Speaker 2: Jenn again. You said it two people together, and there's
19:55
Speaker 2: love and respect there. Why can't they make it work?
19:58
Speaker 3: Ben just gave her like a sixty million dollar home,
20:01
Speaker 3: like he still loves her. Why couldn't they figure it out?
20:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, I trust you do not do that to somebody eight.
20:06
Speaker 2: You do not start handing things over voluntarily. Maybe there's
20:09
Speaker 2: a term might problem and he's setting her up, but
20:12
Speaker 2: that would make more sense to me. But I'm still
20:14
Speaker 2: Ben and Jin still rooting for them.
20:16
Speaker 3: All right.
20:17
Speaker 2: Well, folks, we just wanted to hop ball give you
20:19
Speaker 2: that update for whatever is a breakup story, from whatever reason,
20:21
Speaker 2: roads we can still smile.
20:22
Speaker 1: These two have given us so much to smile about.
20:24
Speaker 2: Individually over the years, but then as a couple for
20:27
Speaker 2: the past several years. So much love to Megan and Sue.
20:30
Speaker 2: Appreciate you all as always spending some time with us.
