The Try Guys’ Ex-Try Guy Launched His Own Podcast, and His 1st Guest Is His Ex

When Ned Fulmer was ousted from Try Guys amid allegations that he’d cheated on his wife with a producer in 2022, the chronically online were desperate for more information. Now, three years after the scandal ripped through the internet, we’ve finally got some answers.

Adding to the streak of insufferable people starting podcasts that literally no one asked for, the disgraced “wife guy” has broken his silence with a new series called Rock Bottom with Ned Fulmer. His first interviewee? Ariel Fulmer.

“People ask me, ‘Do you forgive Ned for what he did?’” Ariel begins. “And, I mean, the answer is no. Absolutely not. How can you forgive somebody for lying to you, for cheating on you? No, I mean fuck no.” She pauses, seething with anger, saying that she’s starting to see red. “Forgiveness isn’t the goal at this point.”

Later in the episode, Ariel recalls the moment she discovered the affair. “I found [out] from the fans. I mean, I was so blindsided that somebody sent me a picture and I’d like, I couldn’t… it was like my brain couldn’t compute.” She also said she remembered thinking the person in the photo was Ned’s sister. “What was so fucked up in my brain that I couldn’t actually see what was happening in this picture, like the picture was right there in front of me. And then the pieces just started falling…and then more pictures started coming in.”

She also talks about Ned coming clean (again, rich intel people were absolutely desperate for at the time), after he picked her up in a rental car. “I just naively looked over to you in the driver’s seat, and I was like, ‘Why was Grace [Ned’s sister] in New York?’ And you looked over at me with the look on your face, and the veil just fell.”

The two said they tried couples counseling at the time, but ultimately split. They didn’t mention whether Ned still speaks to the other Try Guys or whether Ariel still speaks to their partners, with whom she used to host the podcast You Can Sit With Us.

The episode runs about an hour, and honestly, is worth the listen if only for Ariel, who sounds eloquent and definitive next to her gravely pathetic ex. At one point, the two of them criticize the “one-dimensional”-ness of having a media image, during which a silent—yet loud—subtext rings in the listener’s ears: that a cheater is not a complicated character, and is in fact characterized by their skin-deep tendencies.

According to the pair, Ariel and Ned have been co-parenting in the years since, in what the latter calls a “platonic relationship.” Ariel admits: “The fact that I can be around you and still have a good time and enjoy spending time with you and enjoy spending time with my kids? I think that’s a win.” Going forward, she says she’ll be focusing on her pottery—and him, his media career. Personally, I hope one of those goes better than the other.
