A man interviewing a woman on a podcast asks her about her two-week marriage. She explains that she came out as bisexual before the wedding and wanted a girlfriend, which her husband was "iffy" about. He then threw his ring on the table and ended the marriage. The interviewer makes a joke about her reaction, causing her to pretend to cry.
