Summary
The internet is going crazy over Alex Sunny, who told TikTok she is moving to Afghanistan to be with her husband, whom she met online 2 years ago. Sunny has only met her husband in real life for 12 days, and because of the U.S. ban on Afghan citizens, she says she’s decided to move there so they can finally live together. Her posts are getting millions and millions of views with comments ranging from real concern and warnings to snarky future casting of her impending demise.

| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:02.6 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:06.1 | Hey there, folks. It is Sunday, July 12th, and several days ago, Robach brought this story to me. |
| 0:13.0 | A love story about a woman who met a guy online, married him, and now she is going to up and move out of the U.S. to go be with him. |
| 0:23.6 | Big deal! I've seen 90-day fiancé, but I'll let Roboc now explain why this is such a big deal |
| 0:30.9 | and why this particular love story has caused a raging debate online with that welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. |
| 0:39.0 | Look, I watch 90-day fiancé robes. Big deal. I hear about this all the time. |

| 0:53.1 | Okay, is that the key? Is that because of where? |
| 0:56.0 | Absolutely. And how women are treated in that country, how little safety protections are afforded |
| 1:01.2 | someone like her. And yes, she might be half Jordanian. So she, I think, may have some |
| 1:07.7 | false expectations that she will be accepted, regarded, and treated perhaps |

No indication she's spent time there, has a connection there, has got family there, has made frequent trips there. No reason to think she is anyway, anything other than an American girl. |
| 1:46.3 | No, and look, it's interesting because usually, |
| 1:48.2 | and you kind of set it up this way, when we hear grand gestures of love like this, |
| 1:51.8 | where somebody basically sacrifices |
| 1:54.3 | everything they know and everyone they love |
| 1:56.7 | to be with another, |
| 1:58.6 | that's usually celebrated. |
