  Speaker 1: Oh, you didn't watch it before you agree to do it.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I was just laughing because like I was just like,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I'm in Jared's office, look at the Harley David. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: and you're like, who's Jared and you're kidding. I'm like,
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: we got a good context.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Now now I know I learned Jared's You're on and

  Speaker 1: off again boyfriend. Evidently you're on at the moment.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Right where without someone saying are you and Jared still together?

  Speaker 1: Okay, you're together at the moment. Nice.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Nice, Well, you guys have six seasons under your belt.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: It's wrapping up. Reunion episodes are airing right now. Those
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: are always pretty intense. It feels like it's an interrogation.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: How did it go for you? What?
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Not that well? For me?
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Why this last Tuesday, this last part two episode was
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: pretty rough. I threw a big watch party and think
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Kevin's I did because it kind of distracted from the
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: pain of it all. We were eating tacos on Taco Tuesday.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: And appropriate shedding.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: There may have been a tear shed or two for me. Yeah.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Well, one of the uh, I guess storylines you would
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: call it in the specials is you have issues? I
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: think is a fair word with Meredith Marks. What's going
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: on there?
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, on this last episode she calls me a bigot?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Oh why did she call you that?
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: To deflect from her own behavior of buoying me plane?
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: So really it was a stretch. It was hard. I
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: literally lost my ever loving minds and that's not something
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: that's not something you like throw out there, and it's
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: completely unfounded. I've never even thought a negative thought about
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: a race of people, a group of people hated someone
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: for no reason ever in my life. I mean, there's
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: not a cell in my body that is that way.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: And so it you know, she was asked a question
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: and that's what she just used as a diversion tactic,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: and I'm really really upset by it.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Were you ever cool or it's always been pretty icy?
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: We know we were really cool, were cool, really good friends?
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: At some point? Yeah, it literally flipped on the dime
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: because there is an alleged moment where I was, allegedly,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: according to people, filming the group on a selfie video
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: in a sprinter van where all amazing things happen in
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: the sprinter van.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: And she literally flipped like that and said, you're a vile,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: you're disgusting, you're despicable person, like all this stuff, and
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm just trying to send a selfie to
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: my daughter, who got one hundred percent of her.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Mouth to us, just like that, she thought you were
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: being shady.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, god and yeah, so yeah, because of that, it's
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: been all downhill from there.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's too bad.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Hopefully since you guys were friends, you'll be able to
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: squash it and move on. Well, I guess it remains
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: to be seen.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I've yeah, I've tried many many times.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, we'll we'll have to tune in.
