That comment from Ned about a woman's "biological clock" along with the fact that he made Ariel take his name when she married him even though she didn't want to really speaks volumes. He's a misogynistic pig.
That was good for them to point that out, but also most women can still have healthy kids at 35, so his comment is unecessary and if friends have those kinds of concerns, those are the types of issues to talk about in private
@@google1030 when he said “biological clock,” he’s referring to the belief that all women have a natural urge to have children, and that it comes different ages. Not so much that women of a certain age can’t have kids.
That biological clock comment was so fucking rude and completely uncalled for, you can clearly see she’s so uncomfortable. Zach was so sweet “I love that for you”. Really goes to show the kind of man Ned truly is.
Yes! Also I’m so tired of people being expected to have kids in their 30s, I know several people who had kids when they were 40 and they’re all healthy and happy!
@@sady1139 did you know that if you get pregnant after 35, the doctors and medical industry refers to it as a geriatric pregnancy? Insane lol. Not great for women getting pregnant later in life, definitely helps perpetuate. Your risks of complications do sky rocket after this age, but honestly with the medical advances in technology, many people have healthy and happy babies after the age of 35. FUN STUFF. It's all just comes back to the false notion that women have more worth when they're young.
@@sady1139 that and the whole "you'll change your mind" or I won't?! I personally wanted kids and now I'm due any day with our first after several years of trying, but I understand why people don't want kids. There is a part of me that will miss my life pre-kids, but I look forward to what my life will be as a mom and to move forward with my husband in that way. Parenting is hard and wonderful at the same time, but it's not for everyone! 🤷🏼♀️
I work in a hospital and we mostly treat people 45+. We do have a maternity floor but our patients are mostly older. I’ve heard old people make comments about how this generation is crazy because a lot more people are saying they don’t want to get married or have kids. They’re stuck with it was expected to at least be married.
Lets also not forget that Ned got mad at Zach for taking down the interior design video because people were trashing on Ariel. And Ned wasn't mad that his wife was attacked, he was mad Zach deleted the video that Ned edited. Really shows you the kind of person he is. He doesn't give 2 shits about Ariel.
@@areeshahasan8665 it's literally in their documentary 🤣 look it up. Literal footage of ned getting mad at Zach for taking down a video because Ariel was being attacked in the comments. Zach was more concerned about Ariel than Ariel's own husband.
This still gets me angry because how was it His video if he isn't part of the editing team? Like was he also head videographer or was he saying that as one of the main faces of the series?? Incredibly out of line on all fronts
For the company it was the cheating, but the actual try guys they know him personally and got hurt by him cheating on her i think thats the different things i believe.
For the company it was him cheating with a coworker, because Ned is HR, Alex could've sued the company. He not only put his friends in danger but the entire company that many people are employed at. They knew he was cheating because of how suspicious he acts, but didn't have proof and they didn't know it was with a coworker.
Honestly her talking in the podcast about like "Do i not clean good enough?" and all that bro you can tell she was just hurt about not being appreciated, it was never about the work she did for him. It was because she obviously noticed he didnt give a shit about her and didnt love her how Kieth loved his wife. when you start to compare yourself to others it means youve been shown youre not good enough, and honestly?? Fuck Ned. She deserves the world.
I honestly feel like Ned was always talking about his wife because he knew Ariel didn’t feel appreciated, but it was to please her and it was never genuine, so she never really believed it
The whole 'he got mad because I threw out his leftovers' is proof of typical cheater attitude where they try and find any fault with their partner to justify their cheating.
@@Usernames_are_hard_to_think_ofLast night meat also can be nasty and spreading bio hazard in the fridge. Depending on the moisture content, other ingredients that the meal has, etc
Looking back I think it becomes quite obvious that Ned was always talking about "my wife" and not about Ariel herself. He was never celebrating her, but rather he was celebrating himself and the fact that he was able to be the first married. Marriage was centered around what it meant to him - rather than the relationship between two people. That's why he makes comments like "Unmarried at 35" because he views it as a goal post and classification rather than an organic consequence of two people feeling love. As uncomfortable as it must be for Ariel to watch people pick apart her cheating husband's behaviour - I think it's also really important that as many women as possible learn to see the signs. You DO clean well enough, you SHOULD split chores 50/50, your husband SHOULD care enough to take down his own video if you're being trashed in the comments, and he should not make comments like that especially not to other women. I hope the consequences of this scandal increase awareness about signs of cheating - and encourage more people to leave relationships where they don't feel nurtured.
Yeah, rewatching old videos I really noticed how much Ned refers to Ariel as "My Wife" instead of just "Ariel" and how that could be a distancing tactic. Like the other guys always call their partners by name
@@rachelrose7027 like she is not her own persona but HIS wife , and as You can tell he clearly SEE woman as baby making machines that need to clean after him, i bet he was abusive in other psychological ways too
the day the podcast episode dropped of ned telling rainie her biological clock was ticking or whatever dumb shit he said was the day I changed my opinion of him
@Halloween All Year Round me too, I was incredibly disappointed that he would do something so stupid and hurt the company's reputation, not just the company but the one he started with his best friends. he also hurt his wife who is the sweetest and most beautiful woman and he's a horrible man for doing that
@halloweenallyearround4889Honestly, both him and the employee are douchebags, are we forgetting she also had a partner? Tho I get why Ned was the most problematic.
Lmao. I'm a gay guy, and hella lazy. I don't care if you were my partner, my parents, a roommate, or a friend; if you cleaned my house for me and made me food, I would GUSH about how amazing you are and how thankful I am for everything you do. But yeah, people in general are REALLY bad at noticing Red Flags and Warning Signs.
Hindsight is 20/20 is a lasting saying for a reason. It is really easy to say that these things were red flags in hindsight, but at the time no one saw them as red flags because no one had any reason to. Everyone saw them as it just being differences in personality and cuts made in editing.
Sometimes people are together for a while and cleaning becomes a requirement not some sweet demonstration, however I think if Keith was talking about how awesome his wife is then Ned should drop a little something about how much he loves his wife too
@4:41 when Alex starts talking about taking shots with a guy who should be home with his pregnant gf and she's like, "oH cOmE oN jUsT oNe ShOt?", and then he's hesitant but calls her "baby" is so gross. She's all giddy and giggling over the fact that she could steal this guys attention away from what's actually important instead of just walking away. She's so calculated. Aside from Ned being a massive pos, she's also a pos and every woman with a husband or boyfriend should be careful around her. Homewrecker.
I don't really vibe with calling people homewrecker. Especially because this term seems to be reserved for women. Yes, making moves on a guy who is married is shitty, but if he cheats and the marriage gets ruined that's all on him.
@@backupnameplease While I agree that, in the end, it's a call for the person in a relationship to make, if a person is hitting on someone while AWARE that they're in a monogamous relationship, the one doing the hitting on is also shitty in my book. Just because the biggest problem is the betrayal, purposefully causing rifts between couples is also a problem.
"No kids, 35" it's pathetic that he tries to prove that he's a better person because he's married has kids, has a decent career. Just the tone. He's judging her for not having kids meanwhile he's cheating on his wife and by extension his family. The hypocrisy but also the audacity but also the being such a loser, like does he not realize that she's doing great in her life too just because she's not a mom doesn't mean she's sucking at life. That tone just annoyed the crap out of me, the tone of trying to scare people, to manipulate them, to shame them. Pathetic.
Ned won the lottery with Ariel, she is such an amazing person and anybody would love to have a wife like that. He didn't value what he had and was prepared to lose it all
That along with the fact that he made Ariel take his name when she married him even though she didn't want to really speaks volumes. He's a misogynistic pig.
@@ky9933I don't see that as misogynistic. Most men in western culture expect there wife to become there wife then they get married. I think it's more of a red flag that she ignored when they married. Like a good husband should make you want to have his name and be Mrs. Whatever. You should be proud to have that name rather then have reservations about it.
@@darkangel10001000 "I don't think that was misogynistic of him. I think it was just a red flag she ignored." Hell yeah put all the blame on the woman because you know that acknowledging his misogyny would be acknowledging your own too, you're doing great lmao
For real! I'm not nearly as crazy as a lot of the fandom seems to be about making every single Try Guys video a dunk on Ned session because I feel like it's getting a bit old. However, that was real foul of Alex!
YES. All the comments are always about Ned and I’m like « but wait, are you really hearing the same thing as I do ? » Cause what she says is REALLY problematic ! 😱
@@aleeasaylor3544 except that he was HER BOSS, and her boss's boss... THere is a reason why in corporate, consent CANT be given if its a subordinate with an executive. People should really know this stuff....because sadly that is how people take advantage of others and then RUIN their lives and careers when they said no to their boss.
@@erincarpenter4508 oh yea good point…I always forget to look at it from the business side, I’m just a hopeless romantic so I just think of the actual act of them cheating on their significant others
The moment I started to didn't like Ned was when he flipped out like that in the gingerbread house epidose. Usually Keith gets 'angry' with the judges when they give him criticism, but it's all an act and he immediatly smiles and laughs, showing that it's really just an act. Ned started doing that as well (copy cat) but when he does it, it really isn't funny? It feels real. And when he just flipped that table and began shouting when his gingerbread got burned a bit, that really gave me a bad feeling. He behaved like a toddler, and in the most recent 'No Recipe' season Rachel even mentions that he's scaring the judges. Idk, ever since that moment he just gave me bad vibes, because who views flipping a table and screaming as being comedic?
Gonna be honest, I always thought that Neds flip outs were just scripted for the camera because they were so over-the-top it felt like there was no way they could real. I guess I was wrong.
@@laurahazeleger4287 I think he did it thinking it would be funny. I wouldn’t know I didn’t watch it before the news broke about him cheating. It might’ve been funnier back then but now it’s definitely not, and seems to be very real like OP said
Alex gives such major pick-me vibes. "You know he's got a pregnant woman at home but HE STILL WANTED MEEEE" like girl do you always run after second-hand material?
@@tallbrowngal and its so unfortunate because alex is literally gorgeous... girl you have so many options but a married man with children should NOT be one of them
@@kateysneed3359 Exactly this. 100% this. Both Ned and Alex had the perfect relationships with their respective partners. It annoys me that they would just blow it all for some "fun" and that they wasted 10 whole years of their partners lives.
@@beileisoup Unfortunately Alex doesn't look beautiful to me at all. I just cannot look at a liar and a cheater as a beautiful person. And yes I fully agree that she definitely had to make a better choice and that it's not a flex that a married man fell for you.
I’m just so heartbroken that Ned has stopped Ariel from doing her podcasts with the girls and making videos in general that she has worked SO hard on.. I miss her bubbly sweet self. I hope one day we get to see and hear her again. She deserves to be happy and do what she loves doing.
@@saorise28 Yeah, but his actions have led to this regardless. I don’t think Ned is literally forcing her not to appear, but his existence and scandal are making her uncomfortable with appearing in those videos.
No she can come back whenever she wants she just needs to be ok with the people who are gonna be intrusive in her life. Wether she wants it or not it's gonna happen
I know it's selfish and we're not at all entitled to her emotions, but I really want to hear from Ariel. Is she doing okay, is she supported, does she think she'll come back to You Can Sit With Us? I really miss her presence on the channel and feel like Ned robbed us of that, and of course he robbed her of so much too.
What gets to me is the audaciousness of Ned cheating on Ariel in public with a colleague. He was so careless knowing he, Ariel, and the other girl are public figures. Where the hell was his common sense? Was it arrogance or just he was dumb? It was selfish and irresponsible. Even though it is messed he was cheating, he could have just kept it a secret instead of going out in public with his colleague at clubs, restaurants, and concerts. Plus, he betrayed his friends with who he started the business after leaving Buzzfeed. They became close friends because of these videos. Don't forget they have to go through legal bullshit because of Ned. It is messy. Trust is gone and friendships ended. When his kids grow up, they will know about the scandal and Ned will be remembered as the guy who dropped the bag. I hope she divorces him. Ariel deserves better.
Yeah that scene of him freaking out because his gingerbread cookies didn’t turn out was insanely frightening to watch for the first time and even worse after all the drama. All the guys have had their freak outs and their meltdowns but that was something else entirely. Like that’s an AWFUL reaction to something like that, I can’t imagine his reactions to really bad things happening to him…
That biological clock comment is absolutely DISGUSTING. The whole biological clock thing is doesn't really exist, and such a sexist thing to say to someone. Someone's choice to reproduce or not is their own choice, and is private, and it is incredibly demeaning to insinuate that a woman will be "expired" because she doesn't have a child. Someone may not want kids, or medically cannot have them. Either way it is a tasteless and insulting remark. Ned was ALWAYS my least favorite, and it's clear to see why. He just annoyed me.
I agree that it’s okay for a woman to choose if she doesn’t want to have children and that it was completely inappropriate for Ned to say that to her. However, I do have to say to you that a biological clock for woman’s fertility 100% does exist (a “biological clock” exists for every organ tissue in the body). It’s harder for woman to conceive starting in about their mid to late 30s and becomes harder to carry to full term. Again, a woman absolutely does not need to have children to have a fulfilling life. But saying the biological clock “doesn’t really exist” is just simply wrong. People have definitely used it to be sexist towards woman, but they’re not technically wrong scientifically, but they are wrong in a human decency kind of way.
Smth that really bothers me is that I think Ariel had their first son around 35, and if not the first, then the second. Not only is it insulting to the woman he was talking to in question, but it extends to his wife too, for having had children in her mid-30s too and really makes me question how he treated her.
i mean "the biological clock" *does* exist - its just a fact that your reproductive years are limited. It just has nothing to do with the worth of people or their life decisions or how you should treat them
I’m 28 and been trying for a baby since I was 26. My biological clock Is DEFINITELY ticking but it’s not my fault I don’t have a baby! Sometimes people can’t have kids and don’t want to tell people that. Plain. And. Simple.
Even before the scandal, It was pretty easy to notice Ned’s unwelcoming facial expressions in the background and passive aggressive undertones beneath his pumpkin spice basic bitch exterior. Good riddance. I hope Ariel and their kids are okay. Ned’s reaction to being fired mustn’t have been pretty. I mean, the man kicked and punched air, screamed and laid down on the floor like an unsatisfied spoiled kid just because his gingerbread cookies got burnt. And the first thing he did was blame Zack for distracting him with making TikToks, but mind you, Ned was the one throwing it back for the camera (putting in the most effort).
when 2 adults work and both have jobs, house chores must also be shared. Don't pin it all on the wife when wife also has work. I swear ladies, please don't take that crappy arrangement that WoMen dO aLL tHe HouSEwoRk BeCuz They"RE WoMeN. Jeez. This kind of unfairness and abuse must stop. Men are supposedly adults and must know how to clean up for themselves. Wash their own dishes and do their own effin' laundry for God's sake.
Same! He was just no bland imo with no personality so he made loving his wife (which should be a given) his entire personality. And that never seems genuine.
He was also my least favorite, I found him as annoying (because his whole personality at least at the beginning was just college frat guy). No wonder people only know him as the other white guy.
Same, I always felt like there was something off/stiff about the way he acted (not in an awkward way) so would skip past his bits. I never would have guessed anything specific but the energy he exuded and the way expressions don't really reach his eyes was just off-putting.
Ned OBVIOUSLY tried to steal Keith’s fake angry thing, but Keith’s was always full of jokes obviously comedic, and the SECOND any seemed uncomfortable he STOPPED. Ned just stole it and tried to out do it and looked like a massive d bag
Literally though. He looked like he was possesed. When Keith does it, he doesn't pose any real danger to anybody and everyone's laughing. You can tell it's a skit. With Ned... Not so sure. It looks like real anger. He flipped a chair over essentially. Had someone been too close to him at the time, he could've easily injured them. He's such a copycat, so unoriginal, and such a fratboy. Smh
Whether the Try Guys knew or suspected something doesn't actually make them bad people IMO. Because Ned put them all in a position where if they addressed it, publicly or privately, the entire brand and everyone's jobs (not just theirs) would be on the line. Everyone the brand supports, not just the workers but their families, could've lost their livelihoods and that's a huge burden to have on your shoulders. Ned knew that and that's probably why he felt comfortable cheating. He thought he was untouchable because he had everyone's income as leverage.
I just amaze how everybody destroys Ned (rightfully so) but Nobody say one thing about Alex. When I heard that podcast I knew that she is used to that with every guy she wants. She knew Post had a pregnant girlfriend an she kept on pushing him We all have to remember that SHE also cheat her fiancé (and don't drive that bull about boss and higher position) they went out for more than a year!! And Deep inside I'm guessing the guys knew all along about the cheating thing, it's just that the whole world found out
@@underworldprincess Shes not married to Neds wife and she didn't co own second try so it all 100% should fall on him. You cant cheat with your married boss unless hes willing to cheat. The ONLY responsibilities she had was to her partner.
@@aprilh8022 I get that, but she still decided to go along with it: it would’ve been smarter of her to report it to the other guys, rejected him, and tried to get out of that mess. But instead, she chose to cheat with Ned, and did so consistently, without hesitation, while in a long term relationship with a man she was engaged to. Do I completely fault her? No, Ned is a total douche that deserves most of the blame. I just think Alex should take some accountability as well.
I've thought Alex was gross ever since she talked about her sleaziness with post I heard that story and was like oh so you're a slut. she didn't do this with a stranger she screwed all her friends over like trash it's not that she's not disgusting it's just that Ned is worse.
@@herdmentality1894 exactly but I find quite interesting nobody says nothing about her. Always focusing in the "boss-employee dynamic" and legal stuff. She was well aware of what what she were doing and also Ned. I just think of Ariel and how much shame she must feel on top of everything
Yea looking back for some reason when I watched the video where Alex is talking about this guy in New York who had to stay on his best behaviour because his wife if pregnant, I hade a horrible sneaking feeling the entire time that she was talking about Ned, but told myself “Noooo, that can’t be.” and left it at that for some reason
Wait. What podcast is when Ariel is talking about how they went to work together but in separate cars /him staying after they were done/ not going home from?
Ariel needs to realize that ned is dangerous to her children because not only is keeping him around teaching them that cheating is forgivable, but that he displays potential to develop violent tendencies
Yeah, that's the worst part. He and Ariel can make up, but their children still get the message that cheating does not require immediate divorce, and they might be more tolerant of it in the future.
Idk their children a really young still. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't know and ned and Ariel probably not planning on telling them anytime soon. Also, absolutely get being weary of cheaters, but violent tendencies seem like a leap. Just because 2 things can correlate doesn't mean we should automatically assume the worst. My heart goes out to Ariel and wanting to keep her family together. Seen plenty of cases where one partner cheated and the other one stuck with them and repaired their relationship, it is not unheard of.
People are surprised, but I knew exactly who Ned was after hearing him brag about college and being a frat bro. It doesn't surprise me at all that he'd cheat, with a subordinate nonetheless. He went a little to hard with the "my wife" content. Those guys always cheat.
Still not sure why she is trying to make it work with him. "For the kids" mentality isn't worth it. It will only make a toxic environment, she should just get custody and he pays child support or just sees them on weekends. He cheated, not her.
As a child of divorced parents, I support this message. The child WILL know that something is wrong, even if they are too young to put a finger on it they will sense the tense atmosphere in the house and resentment one parent feels towards another. Splitting is paradoxically a better way to model healthy relationships in this situation.
3:57 that comment he made makes me so angry. Firstly, some people don't want kids. Secondly, that's none of your business. Thirdly, if we did have a family we'd treat them a lot better than he did! He's such a d**k
The statistics are pretty high that couples stay together after one of them cheats. Like, maybe if it was like a one-time drunken thing it would not OKAY but at least something someone could move past. But a year long affair???? Goodbye!
@@MeredithHagan they probably stayed for the kids and bc their finances are tied together. But I don't think parents realize that kids can know when their parents are not ok. They can feel the vibe of the household, especially if the mom is unhappy. They will just grow up in a household where there's no trust between adults. :(
She has sooooooo MANY OPTIONs and possibilities, she is a white woman with great conections on a firts world country... She stay cuz SADLY she loves that asshole , she didnt stay cuz of the kids , cuz the finances, cuz the money ...nah ... She clearly like that cheater
ned was projecting this whole time and like many others, i never noticed, The only good thing about this is it helps people see what the warning signs can look like. There was so much anger he was projecting onto his wife and coworkers.
I'm so shocked at seeing this in my recommended. Even though I'm not a frequent viewer of the try guys I do occasionally watch their videos and Ned to me was always all about his wife. I loved how dedicated he seemed to her and their marriage. Its heartbreaking to see this now makes me realise how fake that image was. Is loyalty truly dead?
I recently got confirmation my husband has been having an affair with a woman from work. This is so sad to watch because I felt a lot of the same things I can now see were signs! Especially getting mad at me for anything I did around the house instead of being thankful at all for the work I put in. He never cleaned, but my cleaning was suddenly always wrong for some reason. It’s such a small thing that feels awful. I feel for Ariel.
"no kids at 35" like omg that is *none* of your business. maybe she doesnt want kids and that is completely valid. maybe they want kids but not now. maybe she and her partner really does want kids and have health problems that prevent her from becoming pregnant (there are of course many other valid options to becoming a parent) or from having a safe pregnancy. that is such a shitty thing to comment on and something that shouldnt even concern him in the slightest. and that is over looking the statistics that 1 in 5 women in the united states are *35 or older* when they give birth to their *first* child. and while becoming pregnant once you have entered your 40's is harder (due to the low amount of eggs left) it is far from impossible. that is such a douche thing to say on neds part.
As someone in the industry, if Ned reacted the way he did to the gingerbread in a real kitchen setting, he'd get thrown out at Mach 10. It's not funny, just childish
Ariel NEEDS TO THROW AWAY NEDS MEAT FOR REAL!! He cheated and she deserves so much better!! Hes trash. Him cheating w the other cheater Alex is like leftover food just sitting in the fridge in time it will turn nasty and never last nor be good..
I know people are going to keep pouring over every little video to point out all the flaws in Ned’s Character, and how everyone should have known but let’s just not forget there are real people involved. Ariel is a real person who was cheated on. Alex is a real person whose boss exploited his position of power over her for sex. Even Ned is a real person who ruined his own career, marriage and family. None of them need their trauma compounded by everyone scrutinizing every piece of content that exist online of them.
I kind of doubt Alex was exploited into anything. Based on some of the clips of her, she seemed to know exactly what she was doing! However, anything is possible.
@@sandpiperr her was her boss and he slept with her. That is exploitation even if she fully consented. He was in a position of power over her and exploited that position to sleep with his employee. Also, clips don't mean shit. this is what I mean about how people need to stop scrutinizing every piece of content that exists of them. You can draw a conclusion from a video online that is totally incorrect.
I agree with all of it except for the “Without a Recipe” episode. Ned lashed out in character. Keith does the same thing. And Zach’s character in the series is a very “imma throw shit in, I’ll probs get last anyways” type.
But when Keith does it he’s smiling, laughing, and breaking that character in the middle of it (and he makes very dramatic so it’s waaaaay more obvious to others that it’s a joke). It’s pretty well known that Ned was the most competitive Try Guy so him getting mad in a competition when something goes wrong for him was a real situation the crew had to deal with. It was probably a lot harder for them to know if it was a joke or him actually getting mad in that moment.
I’m not too sure if that’s 100% accurate. Keith gets very dramatic but we all know that’s just his “character” that he plays on the show and we all know it’s just one big joke. It also helps that Keith is just all around a very good person in real life so we know that him acting in that manner isn’t actually him. Ned is extremely competitive, that’s just kinda how he’s been known in the Try Guys, so him flipping out like that makes it incredibly confusing on whether or not it’s actually a joke. I think Rachel commented that he was actually scaring the judges because of his behavior. Idk that’s just a bit of a red flag to me
I agree. I think you have to take those channel videos with a huge grain of salt. They're playing it up for the camera. For the podcast episodes, sure, they're more "normal" in those, but a lot of their videos are, if not scripted, very dramatized and staged.
I had honestly always thought Ariel was so sweet and considerate as a wife (on social media) and Ned acts like a middle school boy.... Was NOT surprised when the scandal came out lol. I hope Ariel finds healing. She deserves a good husband
Ned always mentioned in videos his beautiful wife, he looked so proud to able to have her as his wife. I was like, why isn't my husband saying sweet things like that? Well probably cause he isn't cheating and feeling guilty. It is so weird that the "I have a great wife"-try-guy is cheating...
There was a try guy episode where their dad was in and if you just watch his father you knew what kind of person he is. His dad was cold acted like he is better in everything talked down on him no emotion, what would we expect from a men who was raised by a cold distant men high chances he was so desperate for his approval but never got that, and if you count how Neds sister turned into a alchoholic now she is better but lived for a long time with Ned and Ariel when she hit rock bottom. It was expected that Ned would turn out the same type of men his dad
don´t know. it is always easy to spot the red flags afterwards. when they occur, you may find smth strange or weird but you won´t go like "woah man, you are totally cheating, wtf?!" ned did the unthinkable and lost all honor and respect a man could have, that is for sure... the other try guys seem honestly shocked and fuming about this whole thing. in my country we say "Hinnerher is man immer schlauer, näch?" :D
Why don't husbands help around the house?? We all work. My partner does things like the vaccuming, the dishes etc. He doesn't expect me to do everything just cause I'm a woman. I couldn't stand that
Honorable mention to when he showed up on the channel Game Knights to play Magic the Gathering, and chose the card "Jolene, the Plunder Queen" as his commander because he said he liked the song by Dolly Parton
That's a bit of a stretch, bud! A lot of people like that song. It's a good song. It doesn't mean they're all going to cheat. Not to mention, it's from the POV of a woman who's either being cheated on or afraid she's being cheated on, not a guy tempted to cheat! It's just one of those things that seems unfortunate in hindsight, but, really, I just a meaningless coincidence.
I think based on what you showed on this video. It showed there was something rocky in their relationship not that all the signs point some a relationship within the company. We can look back now and connect the dots (hindsight being 20/20) but I wouldn’t say it was obvious
I feel horrible for Ariel and the boys. Ned doesn’t deserve them. I was so proud of how the other guys handled the situation. It wasn’t just a celebrity cheating, it was a boss sleeping with an employee. They handled it efficiently and professionally. I’ve never been a fan of Ned and now I finally see why
ned was always so cringy for going over the top. for example also when he did this childish aggressive cringy shit outside of the building... I always felt uncomfortable watching him doing this and similar stuff.
Yeah, but something that seems impossible can be missed for much longer than an outsider. They were together as a team for 8 years, and Ned was completely and genuinely in love with his wife pre-pandemic and babies. An affair would seem so impossible in that context that everyone (except maybe Nick, their production manager) would have totally missed the red flags
Sometimes only outsiders can tell someone's in an abusive relationship. You view your close friends very differently than an outsider would. This is a Strawman argument and incredibly disgusting.
I feel like maybe they had some suspicions but werent sure. Like they wanted to give their friend the benefit of the doubt. And until their suspicions were proven right, they didnt wanna tell Ariel and cause an issue if there wasn’t one and their suspicions were wrong.
it’s is only acceptable for the “biological clock” argument to be brought up if it’s by a woman. even if it seems like an unstated fact, the moment a man brings it up it’s not acceptable imo. so the fact that Ned just did it in front of cameras is so mind blowing.
You can hear it in Keith’s voice when he said “Maybe she doesn’t want kids, at all?” I felt proud of him and Zach for how they responded.
That comment from Ned about a woman's "biological clock" along with the fact that he made Ariel take his name when she married him even though she didn't want to really speaks volumes. He's a misogynistic pig.
@@ky9933 oh which video did ned made ariel took his last name? I'd like to watch
@@ky99331
That was good for them to point that out, but also most women can still have healthy kids at 35, so his comment is unecessary and if friends have those kinds of concerns, those are the types of issues to talk about in private
@@google1030 when he said “biological clock,” he’s referring to the belief that all women have a natural urge to have children, and that it comes different ages. Not so much that women of a certain age can’t have kids.
That biological clock comment was so fucking rude and completely uncalled for, you can clearly see she’s so uncomfortable. Zach was so sweet “I love that for you”. Really goes to show the kind of man Ned truly is.
Yes! Also I’m so tired of people being expected to have kids in their 30s, I know several people who had kids when they were 40 and they’re all healthy and happy!
@@sady1139 did you know that if you get pregnant after 35, the doctors and medical industry refers to it as a geriatric pregnancy? Insane lol. Not great for women getting pregnant later in life, definitely helps perpetuate. Your risks of complications do sky rocket after this age, but honestly with the medical advances in technology, many people have healthy and happy babies after the age of 35. FUN STUFF. It's all just comes back to the false notion that women have more worth when they're young.
@@sady1139 that and the whole "you'll change your mind" or I won't?! I personally wanted kids and now I'm due any day with our first after several years of trying, but I understand why people don't want kids. There is a part of me that will miss my life pre-kids, but I look forward to what my life will be as a mom and to move forward with my husband in that way. Parenting is hard and wonderful at the same time, but it's not for everyone! 🤷🏼♀️
I work in a hospital and we mostly treat people 45+. We do have a maternity floor but our patients are mostly older. I’ve heard old people make comments about how this generation is crazy because a lot more people are saying they don’t want to get married or have kids. They’re stuck with it was expected to at least be married.
Yeah... Very rude of him!
Lets also not forget that Ned got mad at Zach for taking down the interior design video because people were trashing on Ariel. And Ned wasn't mad that his wife was attacked, he was mad Zach deleted the video that Ned edited. Really shows you the kind of person he is. He doesn't give 2 shits about Ariel.
Not questioning that this happened, but how do you know? Did they talk about it on their podcast or smth
@@areeshahasan8665 it's literally in their documentary 🤣 look it up. Literal footage of ned getting mad at Zach for taking down a video because Ariel was being attacked in the comments. Zach was more concerned about Ariel than Ariel's own husband.
@@whysnana Oh I didnt even know they had a documentary lol
This still gets me angry because how was it His video if he isn't part of the editing team? Like was he also head videographer or was he saying that as one of the main faces of the series?? Incredibly out of line on all fronts
@@whysnana Zach didn’t do it for Ariel, he did it for Maggie who was also receiving unnecessary hate
but Ned is trash regardless
Please note. The issue for the company wasn’t that he was cheating on his wife. It was that he was doing it with a subordinate within the company.
I'd say it was both
Bit of both, more likely.
It was against brand to cheat in general.
Company Ethics Manual usually spell out cheating while in a marriage as one of unethical behaviors that are serious enough for firing...
For the company it was the cheating, but the actual try guys they know him personally and got hurt by him cheating on her i think thats the different things i believe.
For the company it was him cheating with a coworker, because Ned is HR, Alex could've sued the company. He not only put his friends in danger but the entire company that many people are employed at. They knew he was cheating because of how suspicious he acts, but didn't have proof and they didn't know it was with a coworker.
Honestly her talking in the podcast about like "Do i not clean good enough?" and all that bro you can tell she was just hurt about not being appreciated, it was never about the work she did for him. It was because she obviously noticed he didnt give a shit about her and didnt love her how Kieth loved his wife. when you start to compare yourself to others it means youve been shown youre not good enough, and honestly?? Fuck Ned. She deserves the world.
What pod ep was this?
I honestly feel like Ned was always talking about his wife because he knew Ariel didn’t feel appreciated, but it was to please her and it was never genuine, so she never really believed it
The whole 'he got mad because I threw out his leftovers' is proof of typical cheater attitude where they try and find any fault with their partner to justify their cheating.
@福京柳 yeah but that's such a low level problem to have & that was the ONLY thing he said about Ariel
@@Usernames_are_hard_to_think_ofLast night meat also can be nasty and spreading bio hazard in the fridge. Depending on the moisture content, other ingredients that the meal has, etc
I'm sure before throwing out the food. Ariel opened the container n saw/check the food first n deemed it biohazard
Oh yeah. I’ve dealt with that.
More likely it's just the sign of a man-child, which does have a fair overlap with a cheater
Looking back I think it becomes quite obvious that Ned was always talking about "my wife" and not about Ariel herself. He was never celebrating her, but rather he was celebrating himself and the fact that he was able to be the first married. Marriage was centered around what it meant to him - rather than the relationship between two people. That's why he makes comments like "Unmarried at 35" because he views it as a goal post and classification rather than an organic consequence of two people feeling love. As uncomfortable as it must be for Ariel to watch people pick apart her cheating husband's behaviour - I think it's also really important that as many women as possible learn to see the signs. You DO clean well enough, you SHOULD split chores 50/50, your husband SHOULD care enough to take down his own video if you're being trashed in the comments, and he should not make comments like that especially not to other women. I hope the consequences of this scandal increase awareness about signs of cheating - and encourage more people to leave relationships where they don't feel nurtured.
Lol yes
Yeah, rewatching old videos I really noticed how much Ned refers to Ariel as "My Wife" instead of just "Ariel" and how that could be a distancing tactic. Like the other guys always call their partners by name
@@rachelrose7027 like she is not her own persona but HIS wife , and as You can tell he clearly SEE woman as baby making machines that need to clean after him, i bet he was abusive in other psychological ways too
That's a great, great point.
I think you hit the nail on the head
the day the podcast episode dropped of ned telling rainie her biological clock was ticking or whatever dumb shit he said was the day I changed my opinion of him
@Halloween All Year Round me too, I was incredibly disappointed that he would do something so stupid and hurt the company's reputation, not just the company but the one he started with his best friends. he also hurt his wife who is the sweetest and most beautiful woman and he's a horrible man for doing that
@halloweenallyearround4889Honestly, both him and the employee are douchebags, are we forgetting she also had a partner? Tho I get why Ned was the most problematic.
@@juanmanuelmoramontes3883 The woman he was cheating with was the one in the clip saying "you have a hot wife"
That was such a douchbag move!
And theres nothing wrong with not wanting kids. Its so archiac to think that the only reason for marriage is procreation.
@@juanmanuelmoramontes3883 a month later but maybe was an inside joke, like he told her how she was hotter than his wife and thats why she said that
i think neds just obsessed with feeling young tbh
Yep. Such a frat boy
Omg same thing I was thinking!
Like feeling younger women 🙃
Its giving midlife crisis
Well, he did marry Ariel young at 25 or 26. I guess that explains everything.
Lmao. I'm a gay guy, and hella lazy. I don't care if you were my partner, my parents, a roommate, or a friend; if you cleaned my house for me and made me food, I would GUSH about how amazing you are and how thankful I am for everything you do.
But yeah, people in general are REALLY bad at noticing Red Flags and Warning Signs.
So true!!
Omg you are my first ever comment 💖
Thanks for watching
Dude for real!
Hindsight is 20/20 is a lasting saying for a reason. It is really easy to say that these things were red flags in hindsight, but at the time no one saw them as red flags because no one had any reason to. Everyone saw them as it just being differences in personality and cuts made in editing.
Sometimes people are together for a while and cleaning becomes a requirement not some sweet demonstration, however I think if Keith was talking about how awesome his wife is then Ned should drop a little something about how much he loves his wife too
@@SpillReveal This comment is the cutest thing ever.
@4:41 when Alex starts talking about taking shots with a guy who should be home with his pregnant gf and she's like, "oH cOmE oN jUsT oNe ShOt?", and then he's hesitant but calls her "baby" is so gross. She's all giddy and giggling over the fact that she could steal this guys attention away from what's actually important instead of just walking away. She's so calculated. Aside from Ned being a massive pos, she's also a pos and every woman with a husband or boyfriend should be careful around her. Homewrecker.
People don't cheat if they don't want to
I don't really vibe with calling people homewrecker. Especially because this term seems to be reserved for women. Yes, making moves on a guy who is married is shitty, but if he cheats and the marriage gets ruined that's all on him.
@@korgaupisc129 yea it’s not one or the others fault but the married one with children obviously has more at stake and more responsibility.
@@korgaupisc129Oh stfu , she's a grown ass women who knew exactly what she got herself into , it takes 2 POS humans to cheat. Period.
@@backupnameplease While I agree that, in the end, it's a call for the person in a relationship to make, if a person is hitting on someone while AWARE that they're in a monogamous relationship, the one doing the hitting on is also shitty in my book. Just because the biggest problem is the betrayal, purposefully causing rifts between couples is also a problem.
"No kids, 35" it's pathetic that he tries to prove that he's a better person because he's married has kids, has a decent career. Just the tone. He's judging her for not having kids meanwhile he's cheating on his wife and by extension his family. The hypocrisy but also the audacity but also the being such a loser, like does he not realize that she's doing great in her life too just because she's not a mom doesn't mean she's sucking at life. That tone just annoyed the crap out of me, the tone of trying to scare people, to manipulate them, to shame them. Pathetic.
Ned won the lottery with Ariel, she is such an amazing person and anybody would love to have a wife like that. He didn't value what he had and was prepared to lose it all
I love how Ned goes “Good luck fighting that biological clock” while Keith and Zach is just supportive
Oh my god saying ‘good luck beating that biological clock’ is so disrespectful to Rainey, it’s her decision not to have kids
That along with the fact that he made Ariel take his name when she married him even though she didn't want to really speaks volumes. He's a misogynistic pig.
@@ky9933I don't see that as misogynistic. Most men in western culture expect there wife to become there wife then they get married. I think it's more of a red flag that she ignored when they married. Like a good husband should make you want to have his name and be Mrs. Whatever. You should be proud to have that name rather then have reservations about it.

Ned’s behavior is disgusting but “Ned, you have a hot wife” really comes close. She knew exactly what she was doing. Manipulation at its best
For real!
I'm not nearly as crazy as a lot of the fandom seems to be about making every single Try Guys video a dunk on Ned session because I feel like it's getting a bit old.
However, that was real foul of Alex!
YES. All the comments are always about Ned and I’m like « but wait, are you really hearing the same thing as I do ? » Cause what she says is REALLY problematic ! 😱
Yessss! Ned shouldn’t have done it obviously but she should’ve said no and respected their relationship. Takes 2 people to cheat 🤷♀️
@@aleeasaylor3544 except that he was HER BOSS, and her boss's boss... THere is a reason why in corporate, consent CANT be given if its a subordinate with an executive.

@@erincarpenter4508 oh yea good point…I always forget to look at it from the business side, I’m just a hopeless romantic so I just think of the actual act of them cheating on their significant others
The moment I started to didn't like Ned was when he flipped out like that in the gingerbread house epidose. Usually Keith gets 'angry' with the judges when they give him criticism, but it's all an act and he immediatly smiles and laughs, showing that it's really just an act. Ned started doing that as well (copy cat) but when he does it, it really isn't funny? It feels real. And when he just flipped that table and began shouting when his gingerbread got burned a bit, that really gave me a bad feeling. He behaved like a toddler, and in the most recent 'No Recipe' season Rachel even mentions that he's scaring the judges. Idk, ever since that moment he just gave me bad vibes, because who views flipping a table and screaming as being comedic?
Gonna be honest, I always thought that Neds flip outs were just scripted for the camera because they were so over-the-top it felt like there was no way they could real.
I guess I was wrong.
The same episode he freaks out like this he tells Eugene not to be so dramatic about something else
@@panmoncada7257 Oh my goodness right??? The irony isn't lost on us

I’m just so heartbroken that Ned has stopped Ariel from doing her podcasts with the girls and making videos in general that she has worked SO hard on.. I miss her bubbly sweet self. I hope one day we get to see and hear her again. She deserves to be happy and do what she loves doing.
We don’t know if that’s Ned, Ariel may just have a bad taste of it after every thing that happened
@@saorise28 Yeah, but his actions have led to this regardless. I don’t think Ned is literally forcing her not to appear, but his existence and scandal are making her uncomfortable with appearing in those videos.
No she can come back whenever she wants she just needs to be ok with the people who are gonna be intrusive in her life. Wether she wants it or not it's gonna happen
I know it's selfish and we're not at all entitled to her emotions, but I really want to hear from Ariel. Is she doing okay, is she supported, does she think she'll come back to You Can Sit With Us?
I really miss her presence on the channel and feel like Ned robbed us of that, and of course he robbed her of so much too.
I think they’re getting divorced. She use to have “wife” in her Instagram bio and it’s not in it anymore.
I always rooted for Ned on the one fact that Ariel and I were classmates in Elementary school. I had already remembered her as being so kind.
What gets to me is the audaciousness of Ned cheating on Ariel in public with a colleague. He was so careless knowing he, Ariel, and the other girl are public figures. Where the hell was his common sense? Was it arrogance or just he was dumb? It was selfish and irresponsible. Even though it is messed he was cheating, he could have just kept it a secret instead of going out in public with his colleague at clubs, restaurants, and concerts. Plus, he betrayed his friends with who he started the business after leaving Buzzfeed. They became close friends because of these videos. Don't forget they have to go through legal bullshit because of Ned. It is messy. Trust is gone and friendships ended. When his kids grow up, they will know about the scandal and Ned will be remembered as the guy who dropped the bag. I hope she divorces him. Ariel deserves better.
This.
That “worlds worst boss” mug is delicious irl foreshadowing
Yeah that scene of him freaking out because his gingerbread cookies didn’t turn out was insanely frightening to watch for the first time and even worse after all the drama. All the guys have had their freak outs and their meltdowns but that was something else entirely. Like that’s an AWFUL reaction to something like that, I can’t imagine his reactions to really bad things happening to him…
it’s nick’s face when he puts his head on alex’s lap during the spaghetti hot tub. u can see he’s immediately questioning it
Yes! His face literally looks like that meme with the guy with the question marks who has the “wtF?!?!” Face
That biological clock comment is absolutely DISGUSTING. The whole biological clock thing is doesn't really exist, and such a sexist thing to say to someone. Someone's choice to reproduce or not is their own choice, and is private, and it is incredibly demeaning to insinuate that a woman will be "expired" because she doesn't have a child. Someone may not want kids, or medically cannot have them. Either way it is a tasteless and insulting remark. Ned was ALWAYS my least favorite, and it's clear to see why. He just annoyed me.
I agree that it’s okay for a woman to choose if she doesn’t want to have children and that it was completely inappropriate for Ned to say that to her. However, I do have to say to you that a biological clock for woman’s fertility 100% does exist (a “biological clock” exists for every organ tissue in the body). It’s harder for woman to conceive starting in about their mid to late 30s and becomes harder to carry to full term.
Again, a woman absolutely does not need to have children to have a fulfilling life. But saying the biological clock “doesn’t really exist” is just simply wrong. People have definitely used it to be sexist towards woman, but they’re not technically wrong scientifically, but they are wrong in a human decency kind of way.
Smth that really bothers me is that I think Ariel had their first son around 35, and if not the first, then the second. Not only is it insulting to the woman he was talking to in question, but it extends to his wife too, for having had children in her mid-30s too and really makes me question how he treated her.
i mean "the biological clock" *does* exist - its just a fact that your reproductive years are limited. It just has nothing to do with the worth of people or their life decisions or how you should treat them
Yeah it's very much a thing ah denying that is just denying reality.
I’m 28 and been trying for a baby since I was 26. My biological clock Is DEFINITELY ticking but it’s not my fault I don’t have a baby! Sometimes people can’t have kids and don’t want to tell people that. Plain. And. Simple.
Even before the scandal, It was pretty easy to notice Ned’s unwelcoming facial expressions in the background and passive aggressive undertones beneath his pumpkin spice basic bitch exterior. Good riddance. I hope Ariel and their kids are okay. Ned’s reaction to being fired mustn’t have been pretty. I mean, the man kicked and punched air, screamed and laid down on the floor like an unsatisfied spoiled kid just because his gingerbread cookies got burnt. And the first thing he did was blame Zack for distracting him with making TikToks, but mind you, Ned was the one throwing it back for the camera (putting in the most effort).
when 2 adults work and both have jobs, house chores must also be shared. Don't pin it all on the wife when wife also has work. I swear ladies, please don't take that crappy arrangement that WoMen dO aLL tHe HouSEwoRk BeCuz They"RE WoMeN. Jeez. This kind of unfairness and abuse must stop. Men are supposedly adults and must know how to clean up for themselves. Wash their own dishes and do their own effin' laundry for God's sake.
I was getting uncomfortable when listening to Ariel’s comments on the podcast. I could feel her uncertainties and sadness :(
That biological clock comment was so uncalled for lol
Honestly keith and zack are the husbands that Ned wanted to be.
I've been watching the try guys since the start- Ned was always my least favorite. I always found him rude, obnoxious, etc.
Same! He was just no bland imo with no personality so he made loving his wife (which should be a given) his entire personality. And that never seems genuine.
He was also my least favorite, I found him as annoying (because his whole personality at least at the beginning was just college frat guy). No wonder people only know him as the other white guy.
Same, I always felt like there was something off/stiff about the way he acted (not in an awkward way) so would skip past his bits. I never would have guessed anything specific but the energy he exuded and the way expressions don't really reach his eyes was just off-putting.
ME TOO!!! I always felt like HE felt that he was superior to everyone. "Im a chemist!!"
He use to be my favorite because he was the “family guy” now I hate that I liked him
the Easter video where Ned gets blackout drunk at his own baby shower told me everything i needed to know about him
Ned OBVIOUSLY tried to steal Keith’s fake angry thing, but Keith’s was always full of jokes obviously comedic, and the SECOND any seemed uncomfortable he STOPPED. Ned just stole it and tried to out do it and looked like a massive d bag
Literally though. He looked like he was possesed. When Keith does it, he doesn't pose any real danger to anybody and everyone's laughing. You can tell it's a skit. With Ned... Not so sure. It looks like real anger. He flipped a chair over essentially. Had someone been too close to him at the time, he could've easily injured them.
He's such a copycat, so unoriginal, and such a fratboy. Smh
Whether the Try Guys knew or suspected something doesn't actually make them bad people IMO. Because Ned put them all in a position where if they addressed it, publicly or privately, the entire brand and everyone's jobs (not just theirs) would be on the line. Everyone the brand supports, not just the workers but their families, could've lost their livelihoods and that's a huge burden to have on your shoulders. Ned knew that and that's probably why he felt comfortable cheating. He thought he was untouchable because he had everyone's income as leverage.
I just amaze how everybody destroys Ned (rightfully so) but Nobody say one thing about Alex.
When I heard that podcast I knew that she is used to that with every guy she wants. She knew Post had a pregnant girlfriend an she kept on pushing him
We all have to remember that SHE also cheat her fiancé (and don't drive that bull about boss and higher position) they went out for more than a year!!
And Deep inside I'm guessing the guys knew all along about the cheating thing, it's just that the whole world found out
Definitely, Alex is just as responsible.
@@underworldprincess Shes not married to Neds wife and she didn't co own second try so it all 100% should fall on him. You cant cheat with your married boss unless hes willing to cheat. The ONLY responsibilities she had was to her partner.
@@aprilh8022 I get that, but she still decided to go along with it: it would’ve been smarter of her to report it to the other guys, rejected him, and tried to get out of that mess. But instead, she chose to cheat with Ned, and did so consistently, without hesitation, while in a long term relationship with a man she was engaged to. Do I completely fault her? No, Ned is a total douche that deserves most of the blame. I just think Alex should take some accountability as well.
I've thought Alex was gross ever since she talked about her sleaziness with post I heard that story and was like oh so you're a slut. she didn't do this with a stranger she screwed all her friends over like trash it's not that she's not disgusting it's just that Ned is worse.
@@herdmentality1894 exactly but I find quite interesting nobody says nothing about her. Always focusing in the "boss-employee dynamic" and legal stuff.

Yea looking back for some reason when I watched the video where Alex is talking about this guy in New York who had to stay on his best behaviour because his wife if pregnant, I hade a horrible sneaking feeling the entire time that she was talking about Ned, but told myself “Noooo, that can’t be.” and left it at that for some reason
No, she was talking about Post Malone

The fact that Ned was laying on Alex’s lap and no one said anything 🥴
If i had to describe Ned with one word, it would be “selfish”.
the biological clock comment....... mmmmm
I hate that so much 😭 imagine having a man telling you that and basically tell you how to live your life
Like others in the comments im also a gay guy but- Ariel should come Marry Me
To me, whenever he said my wife is almost the same as my phone or my car. Basically, he was treating her like an object, not a person.
I really miss Ariel on the pod. I wish none of this happened to her bc she’s an amazing person.
Why are the wives the only ones expected to do the cleaning? 🤬🤬🤬 HELL NAH
Ariel needs to realize that ned is dangerous to her children because not only is keeping him around teaching them that cheating is forgivable, but that he displays potential to develop violent tendencies
Yeah, that's the worst part. He and Ariel can make up, but their children still get the message that cheating does not require immediate divorce, and they might be more tolerant of it in the future.
Idk their children a really young still. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't know and ned and Ariel probably not planning on telling them anytime soon. Also, absolutely get being weary of cheaters, but violent tendencies seem like a leap. Just because 2 things can correlate doesn't mean we should automatically assume the worst. My heart goes out to Ariel and wanting to keep her family together. Seen plenty of cases where one partner cheated and the other one stuck with them and repaired their relationship, it is not unheard of.
People are surprised, but I knew exactly who Ned was after hearing him brag about college and being a frat bro. It doesn't surprise me at all that he'd cheat, with a subordinate nonetheless. He went a little to hard with the "my wife" content. Those guys always cheat.
Still not sure why she is trying to make it work with him. "For the kids" mentality isn't worth it. It will only make a toxic environment, she should just get custody and he pays child support or just sees them on weekends.
He cheated, not her.
As a child of divorced parents, I support this message. The child WILL know that something is wrong, even if they are too young to put a finger on it they will sense the tense atmosphere in the house and resentment one parent feels towards another. Splitting is paradoxically a better way to model healthy relationships in this situation.
i have mad respect for ariel for even putting up with his ass lmao
3:57 that comment he made makes me so angry. Firstly, some people don't want kids. Secondly, that's none of your business. Thirdly, if we did have a family we'd treat them a lot better than he did! He's such a d**k
it's so sad that she stayed with him after everything :(
The statistics are pretty high that couples stay together after one of them cheats.
Like, maybe if it was like a one-time drunken thing it would not OKAY but at least something someone could move past. But a year long affair???? Goodbye!
@@MeredithHagan they probably stayed for the kids and bc their finances are tied together. But I don't think parents realize that kids can know when their parents are not ok.

She has sooooooo MANY OPTIONs and possibilities, she is a white woman with great conections on a firts world country... She stay cuz SADLY she loves that asshole , she didnt stay cuz of the kids , cuz the finances, cuz the money ...nah ... She clearly like that cheater
ned was projecting this whole time and like many others, i never noticed,
The only good thing about this is it helps people see what the warning signs can look like.
There was so much anger he was projecting onto his wife and coworkers.
I'm so shocked at seeing this in my recommended. Even though I'm not a frequent viewer of the try guys I do occasionally watch their videos and Ned to me was always all about his wife. I loved how dedicated he seemed to her and their marriage. Its heartbreaking to see this now makes me realise how fake that image was. Is loyalty truly dead?
I recently got confirmation my husband has been having an affair with a woman from work. This is so sad to watch because I felt a lot of the same things I can now see were signs! Especially getting mad at me for anything I did around the house instead of being thankful at all for the work I put in. He never cleaned, but my cleaning was suddenly always wrong for some reason. It’s such a small thing that feels awful. I feel for Ariel.
I hope that’s your ex husband now. So sorry you had to deal with that.

I’ve always hated Ned, I’ve always watched for the other guys, but Ned has always given me the IcK
"no kids at 35" like omg that is *none* of your business. maybe she doesnt want kids and that is completely valid. maybe they want kids but not now. maybe she and her partner really does want kids and have health problems that prevent her from becoming pregnant (there are of course many other valid options to becoming a parent) or from having a safe pregnancy.
that is such a shitty thing to comment on and something that shouldnt even concern him in the slightest. and that is over looking the statistics that 1 in 5 women in the united states are *35 or older* when they give birth to their *first* child. and while becoming pregnant once you have entered your 40's is harder (due to the low amount of eggs left) it is far from impossible.
that is such a douche thing to say on neds part.
As someone in the industry, if Ned reacted the way he did to the gingerbread in a real kitchen setting, he'd get thrown out at Mach 10. It's not funny, just childish
Why the girl just said that his wife is hot and then smile but in the back they are having an affair, disgusting for the both of them honestly
Ariel NEEDS TO THROW AWAY NEDS MEAT FOR REAL!! He cheated and she deserves so much better!! Hes trash. Him cheating w the other cheater Alex is like leftover food just sitting in the fridge in time it will turn nasty and never last nor be good..
I know people are going to keep pouring over every little video to point out all the flaws in Ned’s Character, and how everyone should have known but let’s just not forget there are real people involved. Ariel is a real person who was cheated on. Alex is a real person whose boss exploited his position of power over her for sex. Even Ned is a real person who ruined his own career, marriage and family. None of them need their trauma compounded by everyone scrutinizing every piece of content that exist online of them.
I appreciate this comment.
I kind of doubt Alex was exploited into anything. Based on some of the clips of her, she seemed to know exactly what she was doing!
However, anything is possible.
@@sandpiperr her was her boss and he slept with her. That is exploitation even if she fully consented. He was in a position of power over her and exploited that position to sleep with his employee. Also, clips don't mean shit. this is what I mean about how people need to stop scrutinizing every piece of content that exists of them. You can draw a conclusion from a video online that is totally incorrect.
@@sandpiperr that is not something we can tell based on some clips of her.
Spare me with the Alex pity
I agree with all of it except for the “Without a Recipe” episode. Ned lashed out in character. Keith does the same thing. And Zach’s character in the series is a very “imma throw shit in, I’ll probs get last anyways” type.
But when Keith does it he’s smiling, laughing, and breaking that character in the middle of it (and he makes very dramatic so it’s waaaaay more obvious to others that it’s a joke). It’s pretty well known that Ned was the most competitive Try Guy so him getting mad in a competition when something goes wrong for him was a real situation the crew had to deal with. It was probably a lot harder for them to know if it was a joke or him actually getting mad in that moment.
I’m not too sure if that’s 100% accurate. Keith gets very dramatic but we all know that’s just his “character” that he plays on the show and we all know it’s just one big joke. It also helps that Keith is just all around a very good person in real life so we know that him acting in that manner isn’t actually him. Ned is extremely competitive, that’s just kinda how he’s been known in the Try Guys, so him flipping out like that makes it incredibly confusing on whether or not it’s actually a joke. I think Rachel commented that he was actually scaring the judges because of his behavior. Idk that’s just a bit of a red flag to me
I agree. I think you have to take those channel videos with a huge grain of salt. They're playing it up for the camera. For the podcast episodes, sure, they're more "normal" in those, but a lot of their videos are, if not scripted, very dramatized and staged.
I really miss Ariel on the podcast :(( it also sucks not to wee west grow up but I really hope Ariel and the kids are safe and well.
He’s narcissistic at best, psychopathic at worst. He’s y’know, a part of that Yale thing. 🤫
This is like every other video covering the topic.
idk. its not like there anything new to say. people are just interested in making a video of their own, and theres nothing wrong with that.
I had honestly always thought Ariel was so sweet and considerate as a wife (on social media) and Ned acts like a middle school boy.... Was NOT surprised when the scandal came out lol.
I hope Ariel finds healing. She deserves a good husband
Ned sounds like a muppet
I have so much respect for Ariel. I really hope she's doing okay.
Shes still with ned
@@cosmicalsims Wait wtf
Ned has peaked in HS/college vibes.
I mean he would literally never shut up about going to Yale and being a big sporty frat boy so good call.
They knew Ned had an alcohol problem, that doesn't mean they knew he'd abuse power like this
The biological clock comment should've been enough to put him under watchful eye from the beginning
you know you fucked up when your wife says "I'm not mad, I'm disappointed".
lol the embarrasement of her being so generous with such an unattractive guy and him doing this seriously tf
Ned always mentioned in videos his beautiful wife, he looked so proud to able to have her as his wife. I was like, why isn't my husband saying sweet things like that? Well probably cause he isn't cheating and feeling guilty. It is so weird that the "I have a great wife"-try-guy is cheating...
God damn that tantrum tho, that's horrifying!
There was a try guy episode where their dad was in and if you just watch his father you knew what kind of person he is. His dad was cold acted like he is better in everything talked down on him no emotion, what would we expect from a men who was raised by a cold distant men high chances he was so desperate for his approval but never got that, and if you count how Neds sister turned into a alchoholic now she is better but lived for a long time with Ned and Ariel when she hit rock bottom. It was expected that Ned would turn out the same type of men his dad
don´t know. it is always easy to spot the red flags afterwards. when they occur, you may find smth strange or weird but you won´t go like "woah man, you are totally cheating, wtf?!"
ned did the unthinkable and lost all honor and respect a man could have, that is for sure...
the other try guys seem honestly shocked and fuming about this whole thing.
in my country we say "Hinnerher is man immer schlauer, näch?" :D
5:10 "i brought it with me because it was in my work bag" girl what was it doing in there 😐 youre not helping your case
Why don't husbands help around the house?? We all work. My partner does things like the vaccuming, the dishes etc. He doesn't expect me to do everything just cause I'm a woman. I couldn't stand that
because most men actually suck 🤷♀️
Honorable mention to when he showed up on the channel Game Knights to play Magic the Gathering, and chose the card "Jolene, the Plunder Queen" as his commander because he said he liked the song by Dolly Parton
That's a bit of a stretch, bud!
A lot of people like that song. It's a good song.
It doesn't mean they're all going to cheat.
Not to mention, it's from the POV of a woman who's either being cheated on or afraid she's being cheated on, not a guy tempted to cheat!
It's just one of those things that seems unfortunate in hindsight, but, really, I just a meaningless coincidence.
Uh that's just an iconic song, there's nothing to read into with that one
I think based on what you showed on this video. It showed there was something rocky in their relationship not that all the signs point some a relationship within the company. We can look back now and connect the dots (hindsight being 20/20) but I wouldn’t say it was obvious
can we have links to the videos used!! I wanna watch!!
I never really liked Ned, just his vibe and attitude always seemed off, and now I’m really understanding why
I’m still so Fucking mad at that biological clock comment
Anyone have the link for this particular You Can Sit With Us episode? Specifically where Ariel talks about Ned's behavior
I feel horrible for Ariel and the boys. Ned doesn’t deserve them. I was so proud of how the other guys handled the situation. It wasn’t just a celebrity cheating, it was a boss sleeping with an employee. They handled it efficiently and professionally. I’ve never been a fan of Ned and now I finally see why
Why did she stay with him after all this ? It bothers me like no other
I need the link for the 4:09 vid. What episode was that?
ned was always so cringy for going over the top. for example also when he did this childish aggressive cringy shit outside of the building... I always felt uncomfortable watching him doing this and similar stuff.
I wish that his wife would have divorced him. He publicly humiliated and disrespected her.
She deserves sm better
I liked the try guys when I was a teen but when I approached early adulthood, I stopped because there was something off about Ned, now I know.
I always blamed myself that I hated the „nice guy“ Ned, because I like the bad boys better. He always was boring and cheap.
He is working at Buzzfeed. Hope Ariel and the boys are ok.
He is? Where did you read that?
He went back to them??
Why are husbands NOT cleaning the house too... gushing about your wife or not, that's just machista 😅 these women have the bar on the floor
I knew as soon as I saw some of their videos together…they knew! They can’t tell me they didn’t…if an outsider could tell, they knew.
Yeah, but something that seems impossible can be missed for much longer than an outsider. They were together as a team for 8 years, and Ned was completely and genuinely in love with his wife pre-pandemic and babies. An affair would seem so impossible in that context that everyone (except maybe Nick, their production manager) would have totally missed the red flags
Sometimes only outsiders can tell someone's in an abusive relationship. You view your close friends very differently than an outsider would.
This is a Strawman argument and incredibly disgusting.
I feel like maybe they had some suspicions but werent sure. Like they wanted to give their friend the benefit of the doubt. And until their suspicions were proven right, they didnt wanna tell Ariel and cause an issue if there wasn’t one and their suspicions were wrong.
Ned always talking about his wife and how much he loves Ariel in videos just goes to show that it was too good to be true.
I work in a high stress job and at the end of the day I’m beat - I would adore if my partner cooked or cleaned I would be so grateful
What is the name of the episode talked about in 2:03?
it’s is only acceptable for the “biological clock” argument to be brought up if it’s by a woman. even if it seems like an unstated fact, the moment a man brings it up it’s not acceptable imo. so the fact that Ned just did it in front of cameras is so mind blowing.
It's not ok for anyone to bring up unless they're talking about themselves.
It's the fact that it was completely unnecessary in that moment .. her husband and her will decide if they want children
4:25 bro literally had a tantrum. TF??
