Summary
This week, Kate has the privilege of being joined by Mark Cuevas from Netflix's hit reality show Love is Blind. They talk about a variety of things related to the show; from the more minor details that Kate harps on, i.e. stainless steel glasses, brown bed sheets, the lacking Lacheys, etc. to the deeper lessons in life and love that Mark ultimately extracted from the show. They discuss the ins and outs of the audition process, logistics, and pod dates, then dive into how Mark really feels about his experience being engaged to Jessica. Does he think she got a fair edit? Was he really in love? Was he surprised at the altar? Was he aware of her feelings toward Barnett? Is it true he had a girlfriend this whole time? Find out all this and more on this week's episode. Enjoy!

| 0:19.6 | Hi everybody, welcome back to the Be There In 5 Podcast. I'm Kate Kennedy, your host. |
| 0:24.1 | Typically with these episodes that deal with a very popular arena of pop culture that is met with |
| 0:31.1 | high engagement. We have a lot of new listeners and to give you a little bit of context. I am a 32-year-old |
| 0:36.3 | Chicago-based entrepreneur, author, pop culture commentator, podcast host that really started this |
| 0:43.7 | podcast two years ago to have a place to discuss and explore all of my highly specific, |
| 0:50.2 | unnecessarily analytic and really not journalistically integrity opinions and interests as it relates to |
| 0:57.4 | pop culture. One of these realms being reality television and today I have the privilege of |
| 1:02.6 | interviewing Mark of Mark and Jessica fame from Love is blind. Now if you're new here, this is |
| 1:09.9 | actually not a podcast that is centered on reality television. It's a part of what I love to talk |
| 1:15.2 | about because I believe pop culture has these two realms. One being the traditional entertainment |

| 1:33.7 | present that I love to dissect on this podcast. So if you ever want to tune back in, we have a lot of |
| 1:38.3 | fun episodes. We have the whole deep dive into Mormon mommy bloggers. We have on January I did a |
| 1:44.0 | two-part series where listeners submitted their most horrendous bridesmaid stories because of |
| 1:51.6 | all the things that happened in the 2010s. Perhaps the most offensive is the collection of Etsy floral |
| 1:56.9 | bridesmaid robes I have in my closet. We talk about serious things like the purity movement in the |
| 2:03.2 | 90s and 2000s and now that shamed a generation of young women in my opinion from these church |
| 2:08.7 | camps, I think youth groups like a funny part of pop culture at one point in your life and I |
| 2:13.3 | love to talk about nostalgic things as well. We talk about more modern things like TikTok and |
| 2:19.3 | Bumble. But last week I did more of a monologue style analysis of 2010s on day core after feeling |
