WEBVTT - EITM: Split Support 10/15/26

0:00:01.550 --> 0:00:03.710
<v Speaker 1>Somebody sent me this story.

0:00:03.750 --> 0:00:04.150
<v Speaker 2>Here it is.

0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>About a guy named Michael Sear.

0:00:06.500 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 3>And I guess this guy's story took off everywhere. The guy,

0:00:13.220 --> 0:00:15.740
<v Speaker 3>it's Michael and Chloe. I don't know how long they

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.680
<v Speaker 3>were married for, but they're getting divorced. But the guy

0:00:18.750 --> 0:00:21.790
<v Speaker 3>put out a divorce FAQ online.

0:00:21.810 --> 0:00:26.940
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see that. And it spread like wildfire. wildfire.

0:00:27.020 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 4>I think you like, is he an attorney or no,

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:31.570
<v Speaker 4>not at all. He's just one of the people getting

0:00:31.610 --> 0:00:32.050
<v Speaker 4>a divorce.

0:00:32.210 --> 0:00:32.470
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:00:32.750 --> 0:00:35.490
<v Speaker 3>And he was like, listen, people are going to ask.

0:00:35.890 --> 0:00:39.430
<v Speaker 3>People are awkward. People don't know what to say. So they,

0:00:39.610 --> 0:00:42.890
<v Speaker 3>they both posted divorce FAQ.

0:00:42.909 --> 0:00:45.950
<v Speaker 5>And it was meant just for like friends.

0:00:46.490 --> 0:00:50.310
<v Speaker 3>Well, hers is private. Her account, Chloe, that's her name. Her,

0:00:50.409 --> 0:00:52.870
<v Speaker 3>her account is private. So only like her friends saw it.

0:00:53.220 --> 0:00:56.450
<v Speaker 1>His is public. So it was for anybody. And it

0:00:56.470 --> 0:00:58.150
<v Speaker 1>started getting shared like crazy.

0:00:58.390 --> 0:00:58.670
<v Speaker 2>Why?

0:00:59.710 --> 0:01:02.090
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know.

0:01:03.580 --> 0:01:04.529
<v Speaker 5>Did people like it?

0:01:05.459 --> 0:01:09.050
<v Speaker 1>For the most part. For the most part, people liked it.

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.100
<v Speaker 5>So it was more praise than it was criticism?

0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:15.470
<v Speaker 1>Divorce FAQ.

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Question.

0:01:15.750 --> 0:01:17.250
<v Speaker 1>What happened? What happened?

0:01:18.610 --> 0:01:20.869
<v Speaker 3>And he posted it himself. It's not like, you know,

0:01:21.209 --> 0:01:22.750
<v Speaker 3>he was like, I know people are going to ask.

0:01:22.810 --> 0:01:25.350
<v Speaker 3>People are awkward. People don't know what to do. So

0:01:25.390 --> 0:01:26.270
<v Speaker 3>he just posted it.

0:01:26.430 --> 0:01:27.570
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I'm good.

0:01:27.890 --> 0:01:31.390
<v Speaker 5>This might be good for you, actually. You love to

0:01:31.450 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 5>ask questions. And if these are the ones you'd be asking,

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 5>you don't have to inquire.

0:01:37.340 --> 0:01:39.180
<v Speaker 1>Well, it starts with number one. I always want to

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 1>know why somebody got divorced. I always want to know.

0:01:42.270 --> 0:01:45.429
<v Speaker 1>But I think that shows that you're interested in the person.

0:01:45.580 --> 0:01:47.780
<v Speaker 5>But his response is going to be like, that's personal. No,

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 5>you want gossip.

0:01:49.420 --> 0:01:53.060
<v Speaker 1>No, no. He says why. He answers the question.

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 6>What did he say?

0:01:54.420 --> 0:01:57.460
<v Speaker 3>We both feel that our lives are no longer compatible

0:01:59.140 --> 0:02:03.010
<v Speaker 3>and that a future together would lead to unfair compromises

0:02:03.110 --> 0:02:04.050
<v Speaker 3>on both sides.

0:02:04.690 --> 0:02:06.210
<v Speaker 6>It's a very mature way to look at things.

0:02:06.550 --> 0:02:08.109
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's disappointing.

0:02:08.950 --> 0:02:09.329
<v Speaker 6>You want juicy.

0:02:09.350 --> 0:02:09.769
<v Speaker 2>For sure.

0:02:10.010 --> 0:02:13.390
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I definitely want gossip. But it's honest. I mean,

0:02:13.410 --> 0:02:15.410
<v Speaker 1>I believe the guy. He's got no reason to lie.

0:02:15.750 --> 0:02:18.500
<v Speaker 5>And we are to think that the private account had

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 5>a similar post.

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:20.620
<v Speaker 6>Answer.

0:02:21.100 --> 0:02:23.780
<v Speaker 5>It wasn't like a different perspective. Oh, hell no.

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 1>No, except I think where it says Chloe, the wife,

0:02:27.220 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 1>hers would have said Michael.

0:02:28.940 --> 0:02:29.139
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:02:30.580 --> 0:02:31.900
<v Speaker 1>What about Millie and Bug?

0:02:32.660 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 2>Pets.

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:35.500
<v Speaker 1>Chloe will be taking them.

0:02:36.610 --> 0:02:39.649
<v Speaker 5>Hmm. You would ask that question too.

0:02:39.730 --> 0:02:41.220
<v Speaker 1>I was just thinking, would I ask that? And I

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 1>think the answer is yes.

0:02:42.980 --> 0:02:47.900
<v Speaker 5>So are you frequent or are you basic?

0:02:47.940 --> 0:02:52.870
<v Speaker 3>Number three, how do I navigate their relationship going forward?

0:02:53.930 --> 0:02:55.730
<v Speaker 4>Like meaning do you have to choose a side?

0:02:56.550 --> 0:02:56.910
<v Speaker 7>Yes.

0:02:57.010 --> 0:02:57.269
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:02:57.650 --> 0:03:00.790
<v Speaker 3>And he says, Chloe and I are still friends and

0:03:00.870 --> 0:03:01.670
<v Speaker 3>still hang out.

0:03:02.270 --> 0:03:05.169
<v Speaker 1>Please don't be shy to invite....

0:03:05.940 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 3>Either or both of us to events he has a

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.220
<v Speaker 3>typo he put with her uh chloe and i are

0:03:11.260 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 3>still friends and still hang out please don't be shy

0:03:13.340 --> 0:03:16.250
<v Speaker 3>to invite either or both of us to events okay

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:17.100
<v Speaker 3>that's a big one.

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:21.310
<v Speaker 5>That's no picking sides like diane said oh always yeah

0:03:21.410 --> 0:03:23.030
<v Speaker 5>always so you don't like that they're saying you can

0:03:23.070 --> 0:03:23.830
<v Speaker 5>invite both of us.

0:03:23.910 --> 0:03:26.810
<v Speaker 1>No no i would never do that i would never.

0:03:26.630 --> 0:03:28.630
<v Speaker 6>Do that it's not it shouldn't be awkward for you

0:03:28.690 --> 0:03:29.530
<v Speaker 6>if they're okay with.

0:03:29.470 --> 0:03:33.590
<v Speaker 1>It it's awkward for it's it's awkward for the party.

0:03:35.340 --> 0:03:36.580
<v Speaker 5>And when he says they're hanging out, does he just

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:37.870
<v Speaker 5>mean because they have the dogs?

0:03:38.090 --> 0:03:38.490
<v Speaker 1>I guess.

0:03:38.530 --> 0:03:38.950
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:03:39.070 --> 0:03:41.150
<v Speaker 1>It says still friends, still hang out. Or maybe just

0:03:41.170 --> 0:03:42.529
<v Speaker 1>because it's fresh. I don't know.

0:03:42.550 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 5>Because I hear they're not hanging out at Elliot's get-togethers.

0:03:45.500 --> 0:03:45.700
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.660
<v Speaker 1>If you have friends that get divorced, do you invite

0:03:48.740 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>both of them?

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:53.839
<v Speaker 3>No. I have friends that have gotten divorced and were

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 3>friendly with the ex-husband and the ex-wife, Jackie and I are.

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.150
<v Speaker 1>But I would never invite them to do something together.

0:04:01.390 --> 0:04:05.250
<v Speaker 5>But maybe many divorced couples would be okay with this.

0:04:05.890 --> 0:04:07.970
<v Speaker 1>Then do it somewhere else. You're not doing it with me.

0:04:09.950 --> 0:04:11.050
<v Speaker 5>You're their friend.

0:04:12.410 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 7>Really? Yes.

0:04:14.850 --> 0:04:18.409
<v Speaker 1>But I like now that they've decided they can't be together.

0:04:18.430 --> 0:04:19.770
<v Speaker 6>Then they're happier, right? Yes.

0:04:20.170 --> 0:04:24.230
<v Speaker 3>And I've decided that I will keep them. I don't

0:04:24.290 --> 0:04:26.450
<v Speaker 3>even like if one of them knows that we saw

0:04:26.490 --> 0:04:28.270
<v Speaker 3>the other one. That bothers me.

0:04:29.070 --> 0:04:30.950
<v Speaker 5>So wouldn't it be a lot more comfortable for you

0:04:31.050 --> 0:04:32.589
<v Speaker 5>if you can just see them together?

0:04:32.690 --> 0:04:35.810
<v Speaker 1>No, that would be so uncomfortable for me. Because I

0:04:35.860 --> 0:04:37.280
<v Speaker 1>know they don't want to be together.

0:04:38.029 --> 0:04:40.270
<v Speaker 6>This couple still hangs out. They sound fine.

0:04:40.290 --> 0:04:43.630
<v Speaker 1>You know what? If you're fine, why aren't you still married?

0:04:43.650 --> 0:04:51.950
<v Speaker 4>Because they realize that.

0:04:48.860 --> 0:04:51.300
<v Speaker 6>Their wants and needs were different.

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 1>No, no.

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 3>I understand that. Actually, I think that was the first answer.

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.160
<v Speaker 3>We both feel our lives are no longer compatible. If

0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 3>your lives aren't compatible, don't hang out together with me.

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 3>If you guys think you could put up that facade

0:05:04.380 --> 0:05:06.060
<v Speaker 3>for a while, God bless you.

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean? Go to dinner together. Do

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:09.339
<v Speaker 1>whatever you want to do.

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going to be responsible for putting my two

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.570
<v Speaker 3>friends in a situation where they have to fake interact.

0:05:15.610 --> 0:05:18.650
<v Speaker 5>But don't you have friends who you don't mind being with,

0:05:18.770 --> 0:05:21.630
<v Speaker 5>but your lives, like if you had to. live not

0:05:21.750 --> 0:05:24.210
<v Speaker 5>with them but next door to them, it would probably

0:05:24.290 --> 0:05:25.130
<v Speaker 5>ruin the friendship.

0:05:25.310 --> 0:05:26.180
<v Speaker 1>Yes, of course.

0:05:26.210 --> 0:05:29.620
<v Speaker 5>Yes, that's what they're saying. We're fine in bits and pieces.

0:05:29.860 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Right, but let them decide those bits and pieces. They did.

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:34.620
<v Speaker 5>They said, please invite us both.

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:36.599
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.460
<v Speaker 5>I can't believe you're running around with one half of

0:05:39.500 --> 0:05:42.820
<v Speaker 5>the divorced couple and praying that no one says anything

0:05:42.860 --> 0:05:44.080
<v Speaker 5>or posts anything about it.

0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm not embarrassed to hang out with either side

0:05:46.820 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 1>of the couple.

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.599
<v Speaker 5>You just said you don't want the other one knowing.

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.310
<v Speaker 3>I said I feel awkward. I feel awkward because then

0:05:52.350 --> 0:05:58.740
<v Speaker 3>it's like, oh, well, you haven't seen me. I would

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:00.540
<v Speaker 3>never invite a divorced couple.

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 1>I think the.

0:06:01.620 --> 0:06:05.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't I don't think I would ever invite

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.380
<v Speaker 3>a divorced couple like to come. Like if Jackie and

0:06:08.420 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 3>I were like, hey, we're going out to dinner. Does

0:06:10.620 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 3>divorced man and divorced woman want to come to dinner?

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:14.360
<v Speaker 3>I'd be like, why are we inviting both of them?

0:06:15.870 --> 0:06:17.310
<v Speaker 6>I think you would revel in the gossip.

0:06:17.550 --> 0:06:18.770
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, from one of them.

0:06:18.790 --> 0:06:20.050
<v Speaker 4>And you'd be trying to pull it out of them

0:06:20.070 --> 0:06:21.850
<v Speaker 4>while they're sitting next to each other at dinner.

0:06:22.170 --> 0:06:23.070
<v Speaker 1>That would be awkward.

0:06:24.950 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 5>And didn't they say, didn't the answer say events? Going

0:06:28.820 --> 0:06:29.940
<v Speaker 5>to dinner with two couples?

0:06:30.060 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, this is probably like a 4th of July picnic

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 4>or something. They're cool with both attending. If you're having

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.020
<v Speaker 4>a big cookout or something, you know?

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:41.350
<v Speaker 1>I definitely wouldn't do that. Like for Thanksgiving at my

0:06:41.370 --> 0:06:42.090
<v Speaker 1>house is massive.

0:06:42.230 --> 0:06:42.430
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:06:43.410 --> 0:06:47.310
<v Speaker 1>If I had I'm trying, I don't want.

0:06:47.230 --> 0:06:49.190
<v Speaker 3>To even make names because I don't want people going like,

0:06:49.250 --> 0:06:50.770
<v Speaker 3>oh my God, they must be having trouble.

0:06:51.350 --> 0:06:52.430
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm trying to name names.

0:06:52.470 --> 0:06:55.349
<v Speaker 5>Just you say you've, you've never, or I shouldn't say

0:06:55.370 --> 0:06:58.909
<v Speaker 5>you've never, but you have had to pick one or

0:06:58.970 --> 0:07:01.290
<v Speaker 5>the other in a divorced scenario.

0:07:02.290 --> 0:07:06.710
<v Speaker 3>There's definitely been divorced people there who were, who there,

0:07:06.790 --> 0:07:09.510
<v Speaker 3>there've been people at Thanksgiving who were there with their

0:07:09.550 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 3>spouse one year and then not with their spouse the

0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 3>next year.

0:07:14.670 --> 0:07:16.310
<v Speaker 5>How'd you pick the one you invited?

0:07:17.610 --> 0:07:20.530
<v Speaker 1>Number one, who are we closer with? And who's more fun?

0:07:21.290 --> 0:07:21.990
<v Speaker 6>Who's more fun?

0:07:22.210 --> 0:07:22.430
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:07:23.230 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 5>But what if I tried to set this up to

0:07:26.340 --> 0:07:29.020
<v Speaker 5>be like, not your story for them? Like, what if

0:07:29.060 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 5>you were equally committed to both sides? Then who's fun?

0:07:33.780 --> 0:07:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Who's more fun?

0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:07:35.060 --> 0:07:36.930
<v Speaker 3>But even if I said to the one that was

0:07:36.970 --> 0:07:39.790
<v Speaker 3>there as married and then one that was there as single,

0:07:40.290 --> 0:07:44.300
<v Speaker 3>if that person would have said, hey, Do you mind

0:07:44.340 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 3>if I bring? I would have been like, yeah, actually

0:07:47.380 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 3>I do. Please don't bring them. Because it's going to

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:50.860
<v Speaker 3>be awkward.

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:55.430
<v Speaker 5>Did you feel uneasy knowing that person was there without

0:07:56.030 --> 0:07:57.910
<v Speaker 5>the partner who was there a year or two before?

0:07:58.050 --> 0:07:59.830
<v Speaker 1>Why would that bother me? I didn't get divorced.

0:08:00.350 --> 0:08:02.470
<v Speaker 5>You said it makes you uncomfortable.

0:08:03.210 --> 0:08:06.150
<v Speaker 3>If they're there with somebody that they're divorced from, that

0:08:06.180 --> 0:08:06.700
<v Speaker 3>would bother me.

0:08:06.690 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 5>No, you said it makes you anxious being around someone

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:11.770
<v Speaker 5>if the other person finds out.

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:14.380
<v Speaker 3>Oh, no, I didn't care about that because we weren't

0:08:14.460 --> 0:08:16.030
<v Speaker 3>equally as close with the other spouse.

0:08:16.090 --> 0:08:18.550
<v Speaker 5>So you didn't worry in that situation?

0:08:18.730 --> 0:08:18.950
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:08:18.970 --> 0:08:21.610
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it didn't even cross my mind. Couldn't care less.

0:08:21.630 --> 0:08:21.690
<v Speaker 3>Oh.

0:08:22.350 --> 0:08:24.710
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. No, no. It's only if we're still friends with them.

0:08:24.750 --> 0:08:26.670
<v Speaker 5>Did you encourage the divorce?

0:08:28.150 --> 0:08:29.970
<v Speaker 1>Did I encourage it? I supported it.

0:08:30.620 --> 0:08:32.420
<v Speaker 5>That's different than triggering it.

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.140
<v Speaker 3>I don't know that I've ever gone to somebody and

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:37.099
<v Speaker 3>been like, you should divorce. I can't say that. That

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:38.059
<v Speaker 3>I know I can't say.

0:08:38.590 --> 0:08:40.710
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, but I don't know. Wait, what else is

0:08:40.809 --> 0:08:41.590
<v Speaker 1>on here? Here we go.

0:08:41.650 --> 0:08:42.809
<v Speaker 5>Thanksgiving is an event.

0:08:42.990 --> 0:08:43.310
<v Speaker 2>It is.

0:08:43.429 --> 0:08:44.370
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it's massive.

0:08:44.429 --> 0:08:44.689
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:08:45.290 --> 0:08:46.590
<v Speaker 1>It's 40, 50 people.

0:08:47.309 --> 0:08:49.689
<v Speaker 5>And you don't, Michael and Chloe, you would not take

0:08:49.710 --> 0:08:50.050
<v Speaker 5>them both.

0:08:50.230 --> 0:08:52.990
<v Speaker 3>I would take Michael or Chloe, but not, I would

0:08:53.030 --> 0:08:54.230
<v Speaker 3>definitely not invite them both.

0:08:55.150 --> 0:08:55.910
<v Speaker 1>Zero chance.

0:08:56.790 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 5>What about, or Sam or Sophia or Marcus, the Taylor

0:09:00.510 --> 0:09:01.199
<v Speaker 5>Swift reference.

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:07.990
<v Speaker 1>Are you staying, question to Michael, are you staying in Lansing? Answer,

0:09:08.210 --> 0:09:10.460
<v Speaker 1>Chloe is. We are selling the house.

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:14.620
<v Speaker 3>Chloe will move into an apartment, and I will temporarily

0:09:14.700 --> 0:09:18.700
<v Speaker 3>be staying here until my opera contracts send me elsewhere.

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I guess he's in the opera.

0:09:19.900 --> 0:09:20.140
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.540
<v Speaker 5>I think this is genius. Now I see why it

0:09:23.580 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 5>went viral. I can't believe it didn't pop up anywhere

0:09:25.940 --> 0:09:30.079
<v Speaker 5>for me because that's another thing you always wonder.

0:09:30.100 --> 0:09:30.720
<v Speaker 6>Always.

0:09:31.260 --> 0:09:36.150
<v Speaker 1>Always. Maybe this is really good, but not for me.

0:09:37.630 --> 0:09:39.120
<v Speaker 6>What, being so forthright about everything?

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, just getting ahead of it.

0:09:41.179 --> 0:09:41.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:09:41.540 --> 0:09:42.199
<v Speaker 1>Getting ahead of it.

0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:43.459
<v Speaker 6>I think that's kind of smart.

0:09:44.340 --> 0:09:45.550
<v Speaker 1>Then why don't more people do it?

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 5>The tone sounds too amicable for you.

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:48.020
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:09:48.100 --> 0:09:48.670
<v Speaker 1>Very much so.

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.490
<v Speaker 4>I mean, if it's going to be ugly, I'm sure

0:09:51.500 --> 0:09:53.910
<v Speaker 4>that there are people posting about stuff like that, but.

0:09:54.990 --> 0:09:56.410
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, why why wouldn't everybody.

0:09:56.270 --> 0:09:59.829
<v Speaker 4>Example it's a good example for people are who feel

0:09:59.850 --> 0:10:01.450
<v Speaker 4>like they're in the same situation.

0:10:01.090 --> 0:10:03.350
<v Speaker 3>But you you could i could almost see it being

0:10:03.390 --> 0:10:05.400
<v Speaker 3>more beneficial if it's ugly.

0:10:06.650 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 6>No because then it's just you're slamming your partner.

0:10:08.550 --> 0:10:11.020
<v Speaker 3>No no no i don't mean like she cheated on

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:15.020
<v Speaker 3>me or you know whatever but just like listen um.

0:10:16.730 --> 0:10:18.510
<v Speaker 4>That's where the dirty laundry comes in that you want

0:10:18.530 --> 0:10:18.990
<v Speaker 4>to read about.

0:10:19.090 --> 0:10:22.189
<v Speaker 3>Debra has a bad gambling habit, and we couldn't settle it.

0:10:22.290 --> 0:10:22.579
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:10:22.630 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 1>No, but I mean, if that's the truth, what does

0:10:24.300 --> 0:10:24.740
<v Speaker 1>it matter?

0:10:25.500 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 7>That is the truth.

0:10:26.140 --> 0:10:29.260
<v Speaker 5>That's the second time today you've thought maybe gambling was

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:30.260
<v Speaker 5>involved in something.

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh, because I'm gambling more now than I have been.

0:10:34.860 --> 0:10:37.090
<v Speaker 6>Oh, so you're just projecting.

0:10:37.110 --> 0:10:38.349
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's top of mind.

0:10:38.390 --> 0:10:38.590
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:10:38.929 --> 0:10:40.730
<v Speaker 1>Well, I came off the frozen frenzy hot.

0:10:40.830 --> 0:10:41.030
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:10:41.270 --> 0:10:44.610
<v Speaker 1>I got 11 games tonight. I went two for two

0:10:44.650 --> 0:10:45.109
<v Speaker 1>last night.

0:10:47.450 --> 0:10:49.349
<v Speaker 5>Elliot, I just separated with my partner of 11 years.

0:10:49.510 --> 0:10:52.190
<v Speaker 1>Can I ask, wait, you know, don't finish it. Will

0:10:52.230 --> 0:10:56.709
<v Speaker 1>he call? And I want him to declare who, wait, what?

0:10:56.970 --> 0:10:58.870
<v Speaker 1>Give me that first sentence again. I just.

0:10:58.890 --> 0:10:59.750
<v Speaker 5>There are more sentences.

0:10:59.790 --> 0:11:00.990
<v Speaker 1>Wait, but just give me the first one.

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 5>I just separated with my partner of 11 years.

0:11:03.620 --> 0:11:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:05.780
<v Speaker 3>Here's what I would like to do. Would that person

0:11:05.820 --> 0:11:09.439
<v Speaker 3>call me and let's go public. Let's go public.

0:11:09.460 --> 0:11:11.660
<v Speaker 5>Do you want me to keep reading?

0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:14.309
<v Speaker 3>Is it going to ruin the public part?

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:18.420
<v Speaker 5>He's still invited to dinner at my aunt's in two weeks.

0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:19.610
<v Speaker 1>No way.

0:11:19.620 --> 0:11:21.670
<v Speaker 5>And my nephew's birthday party in January.

0:11:21.970 --> 0:11:22.930
<v Speaker 1>January?

0:11:23.630 --> 0:11:26.189
<v Speaker 3>Like, in two weeks? I'll tell you this right now.

0:11:26.610 --> 0:11:29.970
<v Speaker 3>If it were, if it were, what is, like, what's

0:11:29.990 --> 0:11:34.550
<v Speaker 3>a life event? If my son is getting married, right?

0:11:34.570 --> 0:11:34.990
<v Speaker 1>He's not.

0:11:35.130 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 3>But if I'm just saying, if he was getting married.

0:11:37.940 --> 0:11:41.329
<v Speaker 3>And we sent out the save the dates. Oh, I'll

0:11:41.350 --> 0:11:44.570
<v Speaker 3>give you a perfect example. I'll give you the perfect example, right? Well,

0:11:44.670 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 3>I can't use that one. If my son was getting married, right?

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.010
<v Speaker 3>And I'm going to use you and Lindsay. is getting

0:11:51.050 --> 0:11:54.390
<v Speaker 3>married and we invited you and Lindsay to my son's wedding. Yes.

0:11:54.770 --> 0:11:58.950
<v Speaker 3>And then between save the date and the wedding day, you,

0:11:59.190 --> 0:12:00.750
<v Speaker 3>you had told me, Hey, you know, Lindsay and I

0:12:00.790 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 3>split up.

0:12:01.410 --> 0:12:03.650
<v Speaker 1>I would have been like, great. You're not, then you're

0:12:03.700 --> 0:12:04.150
<v Speaker 1>coming alone.

0:12:04.290 --> 0:12:04.960
<v Speaker 5>You've made that clear.

0:12:05.100 --> 0:12:05.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:12:05.580 --> 0:12:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Like, so going to somebody's birthday party. No, you're not. No,

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:10.500
<v Speaker 1>you're not.

0:12:10.900 --> 0:12:11.660
<v Speaker 6>Sounds like he is.

0:12:11.820 --> 0:12:12.140
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:12:12.540 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 3>How awkward is that? You got to walk around the

0:12:15.020 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 3>birthday party and everybody's going, Oh, there's the, uh, there's,

0:12:18.059 --> 0:12:20.810
<v Speaker 3>there's the, uh, I don't know why they split up.

0:12:21.309 --> 0:12:23.710
<v Speaker 5>But to me, it sounds like it's not because the

0:12:23.750 --> 0:12:27.500
<v Speaker 5>invitation is just out there still. It sounds like Matthew

0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:32.300
<v Speaker 5>is saying he is still invited. No. They're mature enough.

0:12:32.300 --> 0:12:32.620
<v Speaker 4>11 years?

0:12:32.620 --> 0:12:35.750
<v Speaker 3>11 years almost makes it worse.

0:12:36.530 --> 0:12:36.750
<v Speaker 2>Why?

0:12:36.770 --> 0:12:39.210
<v Speaker 1>You're together a long time.

0:12:39.230 --> 0:12:40.170
<v Speaker 6>Scorch it more!

0:12:42.420 --> 0:12:43.840
<v Speaker 1>But we don't know why they split.

0:12:43.980 --> 0:12:46.079
<v Speaker 5>Now, Matthew says I should have done an FAQ like

0:12:46.100 --> 0:12:48.140
<v Speaker 5>this because it would have saved a lot of time

0:12:48.179 --> 0:12:51.460
<v Speaker 5>instead of having to tell everyone individually.

0:12:51.860 --> 0:12:54.380
<v Speaker 1>So get on the air and let's tell everybody.

0:12:54.420 --> 0:12:57.490
<v Speaker 5>And you said get out in front of it, too.

0:12:58.610 --> 0:13:00.890
<v Speaker 5>So it doesn't allow for gossip and rumors.

0:13:02.270 --> 0:13:04.390
<v Speaker 1>So why don't we're still going to do that? I'm

0:13:04.410 --> 0:13:07.850
<v Speaker 1>going to read between the lines. Tell Matthew to call.

0:13:07.890 --> 0:13:08.190
<v Speaker 6>Let's go.

0:13:08.650 --> 0:13:09.729
<v Speaker 1>Let's get it out there.

0:13:11.210 --> 0:13:12.569
<v Speaker 5>It sounds like they have done their part.

0:13:12.610 --> 0:13:15.250
<v Speaker 3>No, but they're like, not everybody knows and you got

0:13:15.270 --> 0:13:15.940
<v Speaker 3>to get ahead of it.

0:13:15.990 --> 0:13:16.869
<v Speaker 1>Let's get ahead of it.

0:13:16.870 --> 0:13:18.650
<v Speaker 5>Well, who are you hoping to call? The aunt and

0:13:18.670 --> 0:13:19.189
<v Speaker 5>the nephew?

0:13:19.370 --> 0:13:21.230
<v Speaker 3>No, I just, I want somebody to call and go, hey,

0:13:21.970 --> 0:13:24.690
<v Speaker 3>I just split up with my wife, my husband, whatever

0:13:24.730 --> 0:13:25.990
<v Speaker 3>it was a week ago.

0:13:26.710 --> 0:13:28.980
<v Speaker 1>We haven't really gotten around to telling everybody. There's no

0:13:29.050 --> 0:13:29.620
<v Speaker 1>formal way.

0:13:29.980 --> 0:13:32.220
<v Speaker 3>So Elliot, if I can borrow the airways, I'd like

0:13:32.260 --> 0:13:34.180
<v Speaker 3>to declare this is why we split.

0:13:34.500 --> 0:13:35.660
<v Speaker 1>Like, I am into that.

0:13:35.860 --> 0:13:36.260
<v Speaker 2>Hi.

0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.640
<v Speaker 5>I was told Elliot was going to tell me something

0:13:38.700 --> 0:13:39.660
<v Speaker 5>about my uncles.

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they split up. Yeah.

0:13:45.470 --> 0:13:48.530
<v Speaker 3>And honestly, son, they should not both be at your

0:13:48.610 --> 0:13:55.330
<v Speaker 3>birthday party. They walk around holding hands like nothing happened.

0:13:55.350 --> 0:13:58.449
<v Speaker 6>No, they're not acting like they're still together. They show

0:13:58.530 --> 0:13:59.110
<v Speaker 6>up together?

0:13:59.250 --> 0:14:01.429
<v Speaker 4>Is that what you think? You don't know if they're

0:14:01.450 --> 0:14:02.970
<v Speaker 4>showing up together after 11 years.

0:14:03.010 --> 0:14:06.100
<v Speaker 3>You think Uncle A shows up at 45 minutes, Uncle

0:14:06.130 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 3>B shows up and they pretend like they don't even talk?

0:14:09.059 --> 0:14:09.420
<v Speaker 1>Maybe.

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.540
<v Speaker 4>No, it's not that they're not going to even talk. Oh,

0:14:11.740 --> 0:14:12.780
<v Speaker 4>is it hallway sex?

0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:13.900
<v Speaker 1>F you, F you.

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.360
<v Speaker 6>No, I don't get that message from that tweet.

0:14:18.580 --> 0:14:20.460
<v Speaker 1>Because he's not giving me enough information.

0:14:24.270 --> 0:14:27.870
<v Speaker 5>Then post something to Instagram and FAQ.

0:14:29.550 --> 0:14:31.730
<v Speaker 1>Is where, where, where does Matthew live?

0:14:32.370 --> 0:14:33.330
<v Speaker 6>I don't know.

0:14:33.430 --> 0:14:36.010
<v Speaker 1>Is he, is he staying there? Is he staying in Lansing?

0:14:39.140 --> 0:14:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I need to know. Like, don't come half public. Let's

0:14:42.060 --> 0:14:42.680
<v Speaker 1>go public.

0:14:43.900 --> 0:14:45.380
<v Speaker 5>Is that it for the FAQ?

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:45.980
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:14:46.340 --> 0:14:49.110
<v Speaker 3>I thought there would be more, but I guess when

0:14:49.140 --> 0:14:51.260
<v Speaker 3>it's all like, everything's fine.

0:14:51.460 --> 0:14:53.540
<v Speaker 1>There were a lot of people who were like, no,

0:14:53.700 --> 0:14:55.760
<v Speaker 1>don't do this. Like, do you have no problems?

0:14:56.250 --> 0:14:56.650
<v Speaker 2>Oh, there is.

0:14:56.810 --> 0:15:00.350
<v Speaker 5>If you have any further questions, please message me. I

0:15:00.370 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 5>will answer them as I have best. I can.

0:15:04.420 --> 0:15:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what other questions I have. Are you dating?

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure you have a few.

0:15:08.140 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:15:09.970 --> 0:15:12.270
<v Speaker 5>Also, please send love to me and Chloe as this

0:15:12.370 --> 0:15:14.020
<v Speaker 5>is a big transition for both of us.

0:15:14.090 --> 0:15:15.860
<v Speaker 1>I'm definitely not sending love to both of you.

0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.360
<v Speaker 5>Not even an invite to Thanksgiving.

0:15:18.780 --> 0:15:22.380
<v Speaker 1>No, I wouldn't do that. I would not. Why would

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.960
<v Speaker 1>you want that? Also, why would you want that uncomfortableness?

0:15:28.660 --> 0:15:30.730
<v Speaker 6>It sounds like you're more uncomfortable than they ever would be.

0:15:30.750 --> 0:15:32.630
<v Speaker 3>No, because you know it's going to be uncomfortable at

0:15:32.650 --> 0:15:34.930
<v Speaker 3>the birthday party. You know what everybody– you know what

0:15:34.950 --> 0:15:37.270
<v Speaker 3>they're not doing? They're not talking about the five-year-old having

0:15:37.310 --> 0:15:41.210
<v Speaker 3>a party. They're talking about like, oh, there's Matthew and whatever.

0:15:42.670 --> 0:15:45.910
<v Speaker 3>They're not together anymore. I saw on Instagram they're not

0:15:45.950 --> 0:15:46.790
<v Speaker 3>together anymore.

0:15:46.810 --> 0:15:49.530
<v Speaker 5>Oh, so you think it takes away from the focus.

0:15:49.770 --> 0:15:53.090
<v Speaker 1>You become the story. But if you're there by yourself,

0:15:53.210 --> 0:15:56.700
<v Speaker 1>I mean, everybody still knows you're divorced. But it's not like, oh,

0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.140
<v Speaker 1>my God, look how awkward this is. You know what?

0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:03.239
<v Speaker 5>No invites for either one.

<v Speaker 6>He's going to everything.

0:16:56.940 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 5>His cousin's wedding. He added a third event that we

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:00.210
<v Speaker 5>didn't know about.

0:17:00.510 --> 0:17:03.650
<v Speaker 1>Oh, but your boyfriend's not going.

0:17:04.609 --> 0:17:04.969

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, good.

0:17:06.410 --> 0:17:09.189
<v Speaker 1>By the way, why is he going to the birthday?

0:17:10.030 --> 0:17:12.430
<v Speaker 2>Because he's known people for 11 years.

0:17:13.170 --> 0:17:15.720
<v Speaker 1>I've known people for 11 years. Doesn't mean you've got

0:17:15.740 --> 0:17:16.100
<v Speaker 1>to go.

0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:16.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.060
<v Speaker 2>Well, think of it like this. If you've known someone

0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:24.800
<v Speaker 2>for X amount of time, you've made a relationship with them. He,

0:17:25.310 --> 0:17:27.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, he hangs out with people within my family,

0:17:27.970 --> 0:17:30.950
<v Speaker 2>friend groups, whatever, by himself. I'm not going to tell

0:17:30.990 --> 0:17:33.690
<v Speaker 2>him you can't talk to these people. Also, he's like,

0:17:33.950 --> 0:17:35.470
<v Speaker 2>you can't tell me who's not talking.

0:17:35.570 --> 0:17:36.010
<v Speaker 7>Okay.

0:17:36.050 --> 0:17:39.470
<v Speaker 1>That's, that's, that's, that's, that's like big Dan. You can't

0:17:39.510 --> 0:17:41.830
<v Speaker 1>tell me that sounds real amicable.

0:17:43.710 --> 0:17:45.080
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean, like, I'm not going to be a,

0:17:45.690 --> 0:17:48.550
<v Speaker 2>douche about it i mean you know me neither.

0:17:48.570 --> 0:17:52.100
<v Speaker 1>But are you friendly are you friendly with anybody in

0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:52.840
<v Speaker 1>his family i.

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.580
<v Speaker 2>Mean his family is on the west coast though.

0:17:57.700 --> 0:18:02.530
<v Speaker 3>Oh but he's friendly he's friendly with your family Yes, correct.

0:18:02.830 --> 0:18:05.410
<v Speaker 3>So if your mom and dad were having an anniversary,

0:18:05.550 --> 0:18:07.409
<v Speaker 3>and I don't know what their story is, but if

0:18:07.430 --> 0:18:11.890
<v Speaker 3>they're having an anniversary and he knows when their anniversary is,

0:18:12.410 --> 0:18:14.780
<v Speaker 3>you don't want him just showing up because he's friends

0:18:14.820 --> 0:18:15.260
<v Speaker 3>with them?

0:18:15.619 --> 0:18:21.020
<v Speaker 2>Get out of my family. My mom would probably invite him.

0:18:21.859 --> 0:18:24.780
<v Speaker 1>No, that's, uh-uh, uh-uh, nope.

0:18:25.369 --> 0:18:28.250
<v Speaker 2>No, I get where you're coming from, Elliot.

0:18:28.450 --> 0:18:31.200
<v Speaker 3>Because everybody's going to walk around going like, oh my God,

0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:32.660
<v Speaker 3>there's Matthew's boyfriend.

0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Awkward.

0:18:33.420 --> 0:18:35.419
<v Speaker 3>And then everybody's got to jump in and go, it's

0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:36.500
<v Speaker 3>not his boyfriend.

0:18:36.540 --> 0:18:37.280
<v Speaker 1>They broke up.

0:18:39.260 --> 0:18:41.109
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's the annoying thing when I have to

0:18:41.140 --> 0:18:44.010
<v Speaker 2>tell everyone individually about it. I should have done this

0:18:44.050 --> 0:18:46.450
<v Speaker 2>FAQ thing because that would have saved a lot of time.

0:18:46.650 --> 0:18:49.889
<v Speaker 1>Are you staying in Lansing? Do you guys live together?

0:18:49.910 --> 0:18:53.170
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm moving out.

0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:53.820
<v Speaker 5>I've moved out.

0:18:56.530 --> 0:18:57.090
<v Speaker 1>By choice?

0:18:59.020 --> 0:18:59.430
<v Speaker 3>Oh, yeah.

0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:01.639
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, how did you choose who would move out?

0:19:01.660 --> 0:19:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's his place.

0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh, okay, yeah, then you did the right thing. You

0:19:06.580 --> 0:19:08.820
<v Speaker 1>did the right thing. Yeah, exactly.

0:19:08.980 --> 0:19:10.760
<v Speaker 2>He's going to give me until the end of the year,

0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:13.540
<v Speaker 2>but I'm like, oh, let's not drag this out.

0:19:14.420 --> 0:19:16.239
<v Speaker 3>You guys are so friendly. You're going to all these

0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:20.530
<v Speaker 3>family events together. You can't muscle through rent-free for another

0:19:20.570 --> 0:19:21.180
<v Speaker 3>couple of months?

0:19:22.050 --> 0:19:23.850
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't think it would be rent-free then.

0:19:23.869 --> 0:19:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, then I ain't staying there. Exactly. All right, brother.

0:19:30.220 --> 0:19:32.380
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate it. I'm glad we got that out, though.

0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad we went public with it.

0:19:34.340 --> 0:19:35.500
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if anyone's listening.

0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:37.080
<v Speaker 6>Now they know.

0:19:37.740 --> 0:19:40.940
<v Speaker 1>What about Million Bug? What about Million Bug?

0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:41.570
<v Speaker 6>Do you have pets?

0:19:42.890 --> 0:19:46.129
<v Speaker 2>Do I have pets? Yeah, I have a cat. So

0:19:46.310 --> 0:19:47.850
<v Speaker 2>between us, there's five cats.

0:19:48.490 --> 0:19:49.710
<v Speaker 1>Oh, my God.

0:19:50.580 --> 0:19:53.060
<v Speaker 2>I have one that's like mine and he's keeping the

0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:54.359
<v Speaker 2>other four. Oh, wow.

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:56.619
<v Speaker 1>Oh, you're splitting them up. No kidding. Well, there's the

0:19:56.660 --> 0:19:59.010
<v Speaker 1>talk of the nephew's birthday.

0:19:59.070 --> 0:20:00.689
<v Speaker 4>You need to get another cat, though. You can't have

0:20:00.710 --> 0:20:03.280
<v Speaker 4>that cat go from Four siblings to none.

0:20:03.340 --> 0:20:04.879
<v Speaker 1>Actually, you can, Matthew.

0:20:04.900 --> 0:20:07.500
<v Speaker 2>He's an old man, so I don't know. He's kind

0:20:07.540 --> 0:20:07.899
<v Speaker 2>of like his.

0:20:08.340 --> 0:20:12.459
<v Speaker 1>Oh, you know what? Oh, there's Matthew. Recently split up.

0:20:12.500 --> 0:20:14.439
<v Speaker 1>He moved out, only took one of the cats.

0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Exactly.

0:20:17.060 --> 0:20:18.860
<v Speaker 1>You know why? Because Stephen's an a-hole.

0:20:19.900 --> 0:20:23.530
<v Speaker 2>I'll report back in like two weeks after the dinner.

0:20:23.550 --> 0:20:24.910
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, we want to hear about the party.

0:20:26.170 --> 0:20:27.310
<v Speaker 1>By the way, if you want me to go, I'm

0:20:27.350 --> 0:20:28.810
<v Speaker 1>happy to come along and document.

0:20:30.780 --> 0:20:31.820
<v Speaker 2>All right, Matthew.

0:20:32.900 --> 0:20:35.140
<v Speaker 1>You know what? I'm happy for you guys. You're probably

0:20:35.180 --> 0:20:35.790
<v Speaker 1>happier now.

0:20:36.950 --> 0:20:39.310
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like a weight off my shoulders.

0:20:39.570 --> 0:20:44.170
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely. All right, very good. Very good. Thank you. Get

0:20:44.230 --> 0:20:45.010
<v Speaker 1>out from under it, man.

0:20:46.590 --> 0:20:47.510
<v Speaker 5>He's not going to the wedding.

0:20:48.650 --> 0:20:51.510
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he shouldn't. He also shouldn't go to your nephew's party.

0:20:51.550 --> 0:20:52.770
<v Speaker 1>Go to your own nephew's party.

0:20:54.450 --> 0:20:58.260
<v Speaker 5>You didn't ask how you should navigate the relationship moving forward, though.

0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't need any help there. I know how I'm

0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:03.399
<v Speaker 1>navigating it. Hi, Elliot in the morning.

0:21:05.490 --> 0:21:06.570
<v Speaker 7>Elliot, how you doing?

0:21:06.650 --> 0:21:07.070
<v Speaker 5>Hey, good.

0:21:07.109 --> 0:21:07.590
<v Speaker 1>Who's this?

0:21:08.710 --> 0:21:11.210
<v Speaker 7>This is Clay from Georgia. I've called y'all a few times.

0:21:11.250 --> 0:21:12.310
<v Speaker 7>Hopefully no one's listening.

0:21:13.670 --> 0:21:17.530
<v Speaker 1>Did you just split up with your... No, no, no, no, no.

0:21:17.570 --> 0:21:20.350
<v Speaker 7>This has to do with a friend. This has to

0:21:20.390 --> 0:21:22.859
<v Speaker 7>do with a friend. So it was a couple years ago.

0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:26.540
<v Speaker 7>We had a friend. He was my childhood friend. He

0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:30.830
<v Speaker 7>was together with his girl forever. And they ended up

0:21:30.910 --> 0:21:35.170
<v Speaker 7>splitting up. It was not a good split up at all. Well,

0:21:35.230 --> 0:21:37.390
<v Speaker 7>we have a lake house, so we ended up having

0:21:37.430 --> 0:21:39.690
<v Speaker 7>a party down at the lake house and stuff. And

0:21:39.730 --> 0:21:43.470
<v Speaker 7>the wife is friends with the girl. And it's my

0:21:43.570 --> 0:21:47.379
<v Speaker 7>childhood friend. So they both ended up showing up.

0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:50.020
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no.

0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:53.260
<v Speaker 7>It wasn't good. It wasn't good at all. It started

0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:56.100
<v Speaker 7>out fine and fake and stuff. And, you know, we're

0:21:56.140 --> 0:22:00.370
<v Speaker 7>good together and everything. No, man. We looked inside from

0:22:00.410 --> 0:22:04.390
<v Speaker 7>the outside windows from the lake, and they're freaking nose-to-nose,

0:22:04.690 --> 0:22:06.150
<v Speaker 7>arguing in the kitchen.

0:22:06.170 --> 0:22:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:22:07.020 --> 0:22:10.879
<v Speaker 7>Freaking going back and forth. It's not a good idea.

0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:11.140
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:22:11.180 --> 0:22:14.960
<v Speaker 1>By the way, that's going to be Matthew's follow-up phone call.

0:22:14.980 --> 0:22:16.290
<v Speaker 6>Wait, he's going next morning?

0:22:17.090 --> 0:22:17.750
<v Speaker 1>They had sex.

0:22:17.910 --> 0:22:20.950
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The next morning, we hear from

0:22:20.990 --> 0:22:25.540
<v Speaker 7>the girl. that my buddy, he got too drunk and

0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:27.480
<v Speaker 7>then tried to climb in the same bed with her

0:22:27.540 --> 0:22:30.200
<v Speaker 7>and all that other stuff. It wasn't good.

0:22:30.220 --> 0:22:33.359
<v Speaker 2>So I'm with you, Elliot. No.

0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:39.060
<v Speaker 1>By the way, that's going to happen at Matthew's nephew's party.

0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:40.160
<v Speaker 6>Oh, don't put that out there.

0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:42.820
<v Speaker 1>Matthew will be nose-to-nose yelling at somebody.

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:47.899
<v Speaker 3>Next thing you know, Diane's in the wine, I'm a

0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:50.820
<v Speaker 3>couple Jack Daniels in, and we are just getting after it.

0:22:51.890 --> 0:22:53.470
<v Speaker 5>I'm so excited for the follow-up.

0:22:53.670 --> 0:22:53.910
<v Speaker 3>I know.

0:22:54.030 --> 0:22:55.730
<v Speaker 6>I want to hear it.

0:22:55.910 --> 0:22:58.600
<v Speaker 5>But I'm expecting it to be positive and for it

0:22:58.630 --> 0:23:02.020
<v Speaker 5>to not even come close to meeting your expectations.

0:23:02.100 --> 0:23:05.800
<v Speaker 3>By the way, here's the other problem. What if Matthew

0:23:05.859 --> 0:23:07.500
<v Speaker 3>decided he wanted to bring a guest?

0:23:09.500 --> 0:23:10.640
<v Speaker 5>To a nephew's birthday?

0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:12.180
<v Speaker 1>People bring dates?

0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:13.020
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:15.250
<v Speaker 5>No. How new would that relationship be?

0:23:15.670 --> 0:23:18.209
<v Speaker 4>You're not dating somebody for two weeks and taking them

0:23:18.230 --> 0:23:19.310
<v Speaker 4>to your nephew's birthday party.

0:23:19.350 --> 0:23:21.990
<v Speaker 5>Remember, he said his partner of 11 years would by

0:23:22.320 --> 0:23:25.680
<v Speaker 5>himself hang out with Matthew's family.

0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:25.940
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:26.560
<v Speaker 7>Right.

0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:29.460
<v Speaker 5>And you're bringing someone that you met two weeks ago?

0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:32.310
<v Speaker 3>No. Do you know how many times Jackie's parents would

0:23:32.369 --> 0:23:35.490
<v Speaker 3>see me if she and I broke up amicably? Never.

0:23:35.830 --> 0:23:36.270
<v Speaker 2>Never.

0:23:37.050 --> 0:23:37.270
<v Speaker 3>Never.

0:23:39.460 --> 0:23:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Her sister, her nephews, none of it. And I would

0:23:42.340 --> 0:23:42.960
<v Speaker 1>tell my nephew.

0:23:43.060 --> 0:23:43.600
<v Speaker 6>Amicably.

0:23:44.220 --> 0:23:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Amicably?

0:23:44.740 --> 0:23:44.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:46.240
<v Speaker 1>I'd never see her family again.

0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:49.080
<v Speaker 4>And these people have been in your life for 25

0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:50.119
<v Speaker 4>years and you're just like, poof.

0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I have that.

0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Yep, there it is.

0:23:53.380 --> 0:23:57.179
<v Speaker 1>There goes Elliot. I hear he's a magician.

0:23:59.050 --> 0:23:59.270
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:23:59.550 --> 0:24:01.810
<v Speaker 3>And by the way, I would tell my sister. I

0:24:01.850 --> 0:24:06.869
<v Speaker 3>would tell my nephew. I don't even feel like I

0:24:06.890 --> 0:24:09.790
<v Speaker 3>should have to tell. But if my sister was like, oh,

0:24:09.830 --> 0:24:11.150
<v Speaker 3>you know what? I talked to Jackie.

0:24:11.250 --> 0:24:15.250
<v Speaker 1>I'd be like, uh-uh. Lose her number. Block.

0:24:15.290 --> 0:24:17.880
<v Speaker 5>Have you ever inadvertently run into an ex?

0:24:18.890 --> 0:24:19.140
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:24:20.619 --> 0:24:24.620
<v Speaker 5>And were you a complete a-hole?

0:24:25.140 --> 0:24:26.500
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. No, I just said, hey.

0:24:26.520 --> 0:24:28.040
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. Can we answer?

0:24:28.700 --> 0:24:30.859
<v Speaker 1>No, I just said, hey. It just kept going by.

0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:32.659
<v Speaker 5>You walked past him on the street?

0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:34.580
<v Speaker 1>No, like at a bar.

0:24:34.960 --> 0:24:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, hey.

0:24:36.320 --> 0:24:36.560
<v Speaker 1>That's it.

0:24:37.420 --> 0:24:39.460
<v Speaker 5>And not a single word or glance the rest of

0:24:39.500 --> 0:24:39.800
<v Speaker 5>the night.

0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:44.140
<v Speaker 1>Glance, maybe. Like, just to tell people, that's her. But

0:24:44.960 --> 0:24:45.930
<v Speaker 1>you stayed at the bar.

0:24:46.130 --> 0:24:46.370
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:24:46.390 --> 0:24:48.820
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm not a pussy. I'm not running out. Oh,

0:24:48.890 --> 0:24:51.350
<v Speaker 1>I can't be around her. Well, actually, I can't.

0:24:52.150 --> 0:24:54.790
<v Speaker 6>I would have, like, finished my drink and left.

0:24:55.090 --> 0:24:57.410
<v Speaker 1>Yes, thank you. And I hope she did.

0:24:58.810 --> 0:24:59.830
<v Speaker 6>No, I'm talking about you.

0:24:59.890 --> 0:25:01.060
<v Speaker 5>You, not her.

0:25:01.130 --> 0:25:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, I'm

0:25:03.740 --> 0:25:05.140
<v Speaker 1>not leaving. I was here.

0:25:05.940 --> 0:25:08.010
<v Speaker 6>This is my bar.

0:25:08.430 --> 0:25:10.850
<v Speaker 1>Why would you still be in touch with Lindsay's family?

0:25:12.770 --> 0:25:15.770
<v Speaker 5>It would be hard to, I'm not saying I would

0:25:15.950 --> 0:25:17.230
<v Speaker 5>increase the contact, but.

0:25:17.330 --> 0:25:19.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh God, why would you increase it?

0:25:19.290 --> 0:25:20.690
<v Speaker 5>But, but they, they do have.

0:25:20.950 --> 0:25:22.670
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I really miss getting up.

0:25:22.710 --> 0:25:24.219
<v Speaker 6>Kids at a whole new level to it.

0:25:24.740 --> 0:25:25.980
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Then you know what?

0:25:26.100 --> 0:25:29.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean, listen, Jackie's parents can still talk to the boys,

0:25:30.020 --> 0:25:31.300
<v Speaker 3>but not through me.

0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:33.100
<v Speaker 1>Don't call me to hand you the phone.

0:25:34.040 --> 0:25:38.820
<v Speaker 5>Remember when my dad died and his parents told my

0:25:38.859 --> 0:25:41.720
<v Speaker 5>mom they would help pay for my college?

0:25:42.060 --> 0:25:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:25:42.460 --> 0:25:43.119
<v Speaker 1>And they didn't?

0:25:45.930 --> 0:25:47.929
<v Speaker 5>No, he died, so it's a little bit different.

0:25:47.950 --> 0:25:48.170
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:25:48.410 --> 0:25:49.330
<v Speaker 1>No, I would never.

0:25:49.510 --> 0:25:50.930
<v Speaker 5>We still kept in contact with him, though.

0:25:51.270 --> 0:25:54.270
<v Speaker 3>No, no, but I mean, like, listen, I love Jackie's parents.

0:25:57.910 --> 0:26:00.560
<v Speaker 3>Hot knife through butter, though. That's how that relationship ends.
