FunTranscript
00:00I can tell you I haven't done six years of Very Scary People.
00:04It gets scary sometimes, like, legit.
00:07Like, some of the stories are pretty heavy.
00:09And, you know, I've spent all these years
00:12coming on to Jenny and saying,
00:13oh my God, we did this and we did that.
00:15And I think when we,
00:18when our company took over producing the show,
00:22Work Baby Productions, which is our production company,
00:25I think it just, we just kind of started talking spinoffs
00:29and Jenny had all these great ideas.
00:31And Very Scary Lovers was kind of
00:34not the first one we thought of.
00:36It was actually a...
00:37Survivors?
00:38Yeah, there was all types of spinoffs
00:40that we were thinking of.
00:41And I think we talked to the network
00:43and they were like,
00:44we'd love to do one with both of you.
00:45I just thought like, all right, I'll do scary people.
00:47You can do scary housewives or this or that.
00:49And the network was like,
00:50how about you two together for Scary Lovers?
00:52And we were like, together?
00:54Like, we don't get opportunities to work together
00:57that much unless we're, you know,
00:59doing interviews together or stuff like that.
01:01So to do something like this
01:03and to be producers on the show too,
01:05I think it's too much to pass up.
01:07Plus, you know, just from Very Scary People,
01:09when Donnie would come home
01:11or we'd watch the shows together,
01:13I'm obviously a true crime fan,
01:15but I would also,
01:16I'm that person that goes deep dive into rabbit holes.
01:18So I'm like, I need more, I need more, I need more.
01:20So having him next to me,
01:21I can dissect more out of him.
01:23Because I know he does a podcast
01:24associated with it so he has more details.
01:26So I'm like, oh good,
01:27now I'm gonna satisfy all of my own cravings
01:30when it comes to true crime
01:31and find out the reasons why,
01:32which is another reason why I love true crime.
01:34I love figuring out the psychology behind all of it.
01:36Yeah, and if you're into true crime
01:38and you're into like one person being a serial killer
01:43or doing these sort of things,
01:45the idea that couples do this together,
01:48it's mind blowing.
01:49Because listen, we all have, you know,
01:52we could think, oh, well, of course,
01:53your partner would drive you mad and you'd lose,
01:55no, you have to be both equally psychotic
01:59to then want to do this.
02:01Because usually there's one person
02:02the partner would be like,
02:03all right, calm down, honey,
02:04we're not gonna go that far.
02:05But no, there's so many couples
02:08that have gone off the deep end
02:09that they basically bring out the worst in each other.
02:12And that's what I found so fascinating
02:15from a psychology standpoint.
02:16Like, wow, usually one person is sane, but no.
02:19Yeah, or one person gets pulled along
02:22in a very unhealthy relationship.
02:24Sure.
02:25You know, a very codependent relationship
02:28where you have a narcissist
02:29and each person's playing the role.
02:32But these couples get so entrenched
02:36into this relationship
02:37that if one person takes the step
02:39into this sort of dark place,
02:41the other person,
02:42even if they go along reluctantly,
02:44they oftentimes end up becoming part of it
02:47and becoming just as engaged
02:50and there's no turning back, right?
02:52So it's however they get,
02:54we get to a point of two people
02:55crossing into this place
02:57of doing horrible things like this,
03:00to see them both go,
03:02however they get there,
03:03it's kind of shocking and surprising.
03:06And, you know,
03:10in some ways traumatizing.
03:11Like Jenny said earlier,
03:12it's like, it's supposed to be
03:13till death do us part,
03:14not till we go create death.
