Hi, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Altul, a Married a First Side podcast. The season is over, but the episodes are still going on here. And today I have a guest with me, a guest who is a first time Maths Watcher. And I just thought it would be fun to do a season recap through the lens of someone who is watching this for the first time. And my guest is Sam. And he's interesting because he has a podcast with his ex-wife. So this is going to be really good. It's called

Sam and Jen got divorced, but hi, Sam. How are you? Hey, I'm well. How are you? I'm good. I'm good.

Thank you for joining me and I'm really looking forward to our conversation. First of all, you got me

when you said you were a Madison

Stan. Yes, guys. So you might hear some not on popular opinions. I don't want to call it that,

but it's just opinions that are counterbalancing, maybe things that you've heard from the

maps community and all that. But before we go into that, let me just remind you guys out there

that the episodes will be coming in,

stay subscribed. It might not be every week, but I'll try to have something out. And if you still

want to get some episodes, the Patreon is still up, patreon.com slash also call MAAFS. I will be covering

other shows other than the maps. I have gotten a request for season nine, which I am contemplating.

So again, if there's anything that you want me to cover, it might be just a reunion where I

cover all the spots or any other shows, just, you know, where to find me, hit me up, and we'll

put it on the consideration. Okay, back to the show, Sam. You got to tell me, how did you get

into maths?

So right now, I'm in Edmonton. And I just moved to Edmonton about six months ago, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Okay.

And we were in a unique situation for the first time in decades where myself, my sister, and my parents are all living in the same house.

Wow.

And yeah, it's a really special time, right? I'm a grown-ass man, so it's not something that I thought I'd ever experienced, but here we are.

And my sister, like myself, is a big reality TV aficionado. So I was just walking by the living room one day. And she, both of us love Love is Blind. And she was watching Married at First Sight. And my mom is one of those, like, immigrant moms where she'll be like, what are you watching? Turn this nonsense off. And then 20 minutes later, she'll come by and she'll be like, okay, rewind that, pause that, pause that. Let's see that one more time.

So it turned out that my sister actually fell off of the season too early because it was kind of boring, to be honest, early on the season. But my mom and I kept watching. And yeah, it's just one of the things we do to spend time together, which I'm really grateful for. Ah. So that's interesting. There's a couple of things.
