4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: How are you doing today, Susan?

5
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 3: Pretty good? Pretty good, waiting on the pins and the

6
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 3: plates going to be put in my arm here?

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: But can I just say, can I just say little

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: known fact here? Two years ago I broke my wrist

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: exactly in the same way that Susan.

10
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 3: Why do I need to copy you? Why?

11
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: I don't know.

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: I was very foolish. We fell the same way. When

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: she called me, I was like, oh, let me tell

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: you what's coming your way? So God, but you know what,

15
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: She's good, She's gonna be fine. She's good to be fine.

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: Your wrist will be as good.

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,680

Speaker 3: All right, okay, you ready, Kat, it's time.

33
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: I'll get into the episode.

34
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 3: And we're going to start with the question of the

35
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: day a day. Okay, when dating in your golden years,

36
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 3: how important is it that you live in the same

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: city or what about the same state? How important is

38
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 3: that when at our age? I mean it's more convenient, I'll.

39
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: Say, uh, you know, I think it depends. I think

40
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: it depends on how you meet the person. If you

41
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: if you establish a relationship and you then are living

42
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: for like, say somebody's in town and you spend three

43
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 1: or four days with them, and you're like, oh, I'd

44
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: like to continue dating. I think long distance can work,

45
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: but I think it's tough. It's more difficult, it's more expensive.

46
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: I don't know many relationships. You know, we've interviewed some

47
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: young guys and women from the Bachelor series on our

48
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: podcast who have said it's an issue. I think it

49
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: is potentially an issue to get to the finish line.

50
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: And by the finish line, I don't mean marriage. I

51
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,559
Speaker 1: just mean to solidify your relationship. I think it's hard.

52
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: When you're for you, I'm asking you how important it

53
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 3: is is it that he lives in the same state

54
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: as you, or.

55
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: It's not important in the beginning. In the beginning, yes,

56
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: it would not be It would not be hard as

57
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: long as I could fly there. And let's be clear

58
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: when I say as long as I could fly there,

59
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: as long as he's flying me there, I see. But yeah,

60
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: but but but I want I want more than just dating.

61
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: So when you're asking me specifically, you know, I don't

62
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: want to just date a guy in Seattle, you know,

63
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: and see him, you know, one weekend a month. That's

64
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: not what I'm looking for. I think it is. It's

65
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: more difficult. I got to tell you, though. I know

66
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: a guy who said to me that if you're with

67
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: a guy, you know, if you're dating him or a

68
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: serious relationship, you need to move where he is. He said,

69
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: women need to move where the men, where the man

70
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: is I don't know. I just tell you that's what

71
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: he said.

72
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think who has the better area.

73
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: Well, I said to him similar. I said, well, wait

74
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: a minute. You know you've got a great job whatever

75
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: you're doing, whatever he does. And I said, let's just

76
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: pretend I'm a trial attorney and I'm very successful and

77
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: I'm only licensed in my state. You well, then he folded.

78
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: Then he said, well, if that were the case, then

79
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: I would make it a priority to come to see you.

80
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: And I said, okay, so I think it's more difficult.

81
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: I think you can date long distance, but if you're

82
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: asking me specifically, I want to see a guy more often.

83
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: So if I really like a guy, I'm going to go.

84
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 3: I mean it would be important. I think it's easier,

85
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 3: way easier to see each other, to have a relationship.

86
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: But like you said, it can be done.

87
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: Would you move, Susan, not generally, would you move to

88
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: be with the guy you're dating.

89
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 3: Yes, as long as I can come back and see

90
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: my family when I want. Yes.

91
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

92
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: I think at our age, you know, I think this

93
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: is hard hard. I think it is difficult for people

94
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: who are younger. Maybe listening to our podcast and We're

95
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: so glad you are. But at our age you have

96
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: to understand.

97
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: That not all in the same city. Cap there's nobody

98
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 3: left here.

99
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: Well, that's for you. I have two children here and

100
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: two grandchildren.

101
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,559
Speaker 3: Now I met men, it's a date.

102
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well there's that.

103
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 3: We take them wherever we meet them.

104
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm just saying, our life now is an adventure.

105
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: And if I meet a guy that I'm interested in,

106
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: he's interested in me, and he says, hey, you know,

107
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: make it, come on out here and spend a couple

108
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: of weeks in me, I'm gone. I'm going And if

109
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: that goes well, then I'm going to spend more time

110
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: out there, or he's going to come see me more.

111
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: You know, that's what I'm going to do.

112
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fine, but I said, the only thing is

113
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: it's a little easier when they're local. But it's not

114
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 3: an end all. You know, if they're not, you make it.

115
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 2: Could you do it? But wait?

116
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: How long could you date long distance? Because for me,

117
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: there'd be an expiration.

118
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 3: Date before you moved in with one another, you mean.

119
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: Before we committed to each other in a way that

120
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: one of us we were either spending you know, much

121
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: of the time together. It would depend on moved in,

122
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: who's retired and who's not.

123
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 2: Well at our age typically.

124
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: Typically, but if you date younger, they're still working so well.

125
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: But see, that's really easy.

126
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: If I were dating a younger man, which I'm happy

127
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: to do, by the way, and he's working, I'm going

128
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: there because I'm not working right right, that's a no

129
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: break or can work.

130
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 3: Like I said, it's just easier if he's around here.

131
00:06:58,440 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 3: But it's not a deal breaker.

132
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: Just do you think it's harder for younger people.

133
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: Maybe because younger people have full time positions, you know,

134
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: they have to be they can only do a weekend

135
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 3: and if it's far, if it's on the other side

136
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 3: like California or wherever, that's a long flight to do

137
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: for a weekend.

138
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, some of our younger Bachelor Nation couples, I look

139
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: at them, one or both of them.

140
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: You know, they're influencers. They're not tied to a desk.

141
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,119
Speaker 3: Or cat from home.

142
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: They can work from so they can travel around and

143
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: do what they do. But I think for younger people

144
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: who are building a career, if they're not working remote,

145
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: it's tough.

146
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: It is. So it's all this.

147
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: Conversation to say that you have found me the guy

148
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: that wants to date me long distance.

149
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: Give me time, Kath, I'm working on.

150
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: It, all right, all right, all right, we're going to

151
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: get into our fan questions here.

152
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to read the first one.

153

Speaker 1: Let's go, Kyla, writes Susan and Kathy, you seem like

Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Kyla, we are, but we want you

157
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: to be our friend too. Kyla, Okay, if I ever

158
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to meet you, I would talk to

159
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: you about so many things. I guess my question would be,

160
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: how do I build strong connections and a community around

161
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: me like you have with Kathy and the other relationships

162
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,679
Speaker 1: you have built. Well, since she's directing it, you go, Susan,

163
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: what are you okay?

164
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 3: Well, for starters, you need to be locked in a mansion,

165
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 3: no phones, weeks at a time with no phones and

166
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: no contact with the outside world, and you get to

167
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 3: know each other. I think it's more difficult out in

168
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 3: the real world. But you start with a friendship, somebody

169
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 3: that you enjoy, their company, that makes you feel good

170
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: to be around them, and you make them feel good.

171
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 3: Whether it's a joke or just being a positive person.

172
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 3: People like being around us.

173
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: I think, Susan, yes, but you and I also, you know,

174
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: everyone thinks we just laugh and giggle all the time,

175
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: which we do, but both of us have our issues

176
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: with each other. Ride you know she does, I will say,

177
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: and I'm there for her. But I will say I

178
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: think part of building a strong friendship is listening to

179
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: the other person judging the other person, which something I've

180
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: had to work on hard in my life.

181
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 3: So how do you break the rules? And Kathy's not

182
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 3: a rule breaker?

183
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: Wait, excuse me, Bachelor Nation, Susan doesn't break the rules.

184
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: Susan shatters the rules and she leaves shattered glass everywhere

185
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: she goes and people have to dodge.

186
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: You would like us. I hope you do get to

187
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 3: meet us someday because we're fun. We are, and we

188
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 3: have a serious side that we really do.

189
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: But I would say, Kyla, you know, in the activities

190
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: that you're in, however, you meet people whoever it is right,

191
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: the friends you have, spend the time listening to them,

192
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: asking them it's just like dating in a way.

193
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 3: And don't asking them to do with you as well?

194
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, but asking them about themselves. It's like dating, right,

195
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: find out about them.

196
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 3: Ask too many questions, but be interested in what they come.

197
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: I think people, yes, but I think people want to

198
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: feel heard and understood, and whether you're dating or a friend,

199
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: and so you need to I mean, I everyone knows Kathy.

200
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 3: Assay, and some days I'll say, Kathy, no more questions,

201
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 3: Let's just talk about life, right.

202
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: But I do ask a lot of questions because that's

203
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: how I integrate whatever into my brain is by asking questions.

204
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: So I would encourage you, Kyla, the people that you're

205
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: friends with, spend time finding out what makes them tick

206
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: and what you guys have in common and what you

207
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: don't have in common, because that's what builds friendships. Not

208
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: it's not you don't want to clone friendships. I'm going

209
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: to be exactly like you.

210
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 3: No, no, And you want to do fun things together,

211
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 3: things that make you smile. You know, maybe somebody likes

212
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: comedy and you like comedy. You go or hear music,

213
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 3: live music, It doesn't matter, but that's how you and

214
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 3: then that person, when they enjoy your company, is going

215
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 3: to tell the next person, right, you know what I mean?

216
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: Like that's and Kylie, if I'm being really honest. The

217
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: reason Susan and I are such good friends. She does

218
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: a hell of a job cutting my hair and looking

219
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: for her and cooking.

220
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: But here's babbling on bait cases.

221
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: What? All right, here's the deal. Her broken wrist is

222
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: really cramping my style right now, so I'm gonna have

223
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: to get my hair cut somewhere.

224
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 3: I got order out again.

225
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: Oh and that's just thank you. That's just business as

226
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 2: usual for me, all right.

227
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: You know what, Just be you, be real, and people

228
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 3: will know you're good people.

229
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 2: Yep, I agree.

230
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 3: Okay, Kathy, Ready for the next one. This one's from Michelle. Hi,

231
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: Kathy and Susan. I so loved listening to you ladies

232
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 3: on my way to work. My daughter is getting married

233
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 3: this fall and we are all so excited. However, I

234
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: am so stressed out on what to wear. I don't

235
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: even know where to start. I am sixty two and

236
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: my younger years I could whip an outfit together and

237
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: feel fabulous, but not anymore. I don't want a typical

238
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 3: mother of the bride. Look, I don't blame you. My

239
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: body has changed so much and just want to feel good.

240
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: Where do I shop? This one probably is for Susan.

241
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: Loll excuse me or excuse me, Michelle.

242
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 1: I would like to tell you exactly where to shop,

243
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: but I'm going to defer to Susan. In Susan's closet

244
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: with the money for the Okay, wait, I think wait,

245
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: I actually can take a stab at this because she's

246
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: more like me than you. Right, So Susan is a

247
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: great shopper, Michelle. But let me tell you Susan's how

248
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: and other Nancy, other people have helped me learn how

249
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: to shop. Here's what. The first thing you do, you

250
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: decide what styles. You're gonna be so proud of me, Susan.

251
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: You decide what looks good on you, what colors look

252
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: good on you, what styles and shapes you know, what

253
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: what yeah of what colors, and what profile looks good

254
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: on you?

255
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: And you start with that.

256
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: Then get online and go to different department stores and

257
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: and just scroll looking at those profiles that you think look.

258
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: Good at.

259
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: This is what I make her do. Sometimes I don't

260
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: like doing it. My God, I'll be here for for go.

261
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 2: I hate it. I hate it. I'm just trying to

262
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 2: hate it.

263
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: Because here's the thing, Michelle, I'm right with you, I

264
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: say to Susan all the time, I don't know what

265
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: looks good. I mean, I have to try it on,

266
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: like and Susan's.

267
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 3: Like, no, no, certain styles I already know. But you're

268
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: You're right, Kathy. You do need to put something on

269
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 3: something sometimes that you don't think is all that, and

270
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 3: you put it on it looks or quite the opposite. Wow,

271
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 3: look at that, and you put it on the Oh,

272
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: dear God, take it off.

273
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: Just take it off, get it off, Okay, So give

274
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: her some advice, because that's my advice is You've taught

275
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: me to go online look at profiles and styles and

276
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: colors that I like. And it's still hard, Michelle, because

277
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: you know then it's like do I order A four,

278
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: A six or an eight because I've worn all three

279
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: sizes And there's that issue too, And it.

280
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: Depends on your body shape. What is going to look

281
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: best on you. I mean, there are people out there

282
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 3: you could actually hire your stylist to dress WSMS. I

283
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 3: know they always have stylists that you go ask the professional,

284
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 3: and so does Niman Marcus. But when I tell you

285
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 3: I can shop.

286
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: This Targart, wait, just Target, Walmart.

287
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 3: And Nieman Marcus in the same day, it doesn't matter

288
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 3: to me, and I'll wear both garments at the same

289
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 3: time and it looks fabulous together. So it's not only

290
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: about how much you're spending. It's not.

291
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: Oh, it never is.

292
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 3: And in fact, Marshalls. You can find things in Marshalls.

293
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: Now not for a wedding.

294
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: Maybe, yes you can, but I get overwhelmed. Here's the thing,

295
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: Michelle and I totally get you. You get overwhelmed Susan.

296
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: I have shopped with Susan so many times. We'll walk

297
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: into a store. Susan is like a buzzard. She just

298
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: go and tell you if she's said a turkey hawk

299
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: she sees and she just goes hoo and decides and

300
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: yanks stuff off the hanger.

301
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 3: I'm pathy or I'll say nope, not here, let's go.

302
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

303
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: But it's so it's difficult for people like us, Michelle,

304
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: you and I. It doesn't come naturally to us. But

305
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: you know I can go out and run six miles

306
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: and Susan can't. So we all have our strying.

307
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: No, no, it's not that way, because she said back

308
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 3: when she was younger, she could whip together an outfit

309
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 3: really easy. I also, like I never would want to

310
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 3: look like when you google mother of the bride. Oh,

311
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 3: dear God. No, you can go to those dress stores

312
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 3: that are for proms and bob it's fuzz and you

313
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: know whatever. They they have so many different styles and

314
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 3: that's the person you say. Okay, I am looking I

315
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: am the mother of the bride. However, I don't want

316
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 3: to look like the mother of the bride. I want

317
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 3: to beat good. I want to feel good and it

318
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 3: will help you. Yeah, if not, I will write me

319
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 3: DM me.

320
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: But I will say one other thing Susan has taught me,

321
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: which I hate trying on clothes.

322
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: I really do hate shopping. I hate cooking and shopping.

323
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what guy wouldn't want me anyway, Susan

324
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: has talked me into trying on things to you, even

325
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: if I don't think, like if I like the colors,

326
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: something attracts me to it. But then I look at

327
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: oh no, this one look good on me. Susan will

328
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: always say try it, try it. And I have bought things.

329
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: One of the dresses I wore to a Bachelor Nation

330
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: function actually.

331
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 3: The blackest shell.

332
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: No, well that one too, but this was a sparkly

333
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: copper dress that I wouldn't have tried on in a

334
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: month of Sundays, and Susan said, no, try it on,

335
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: try to and I loved it and it looked great

336
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: on me, and I got so many compliments.

337
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: So my mother said, you never know.

338
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: My other suggestion, Michelle is take your if you have

339
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: a daughter, I take my daughter sometimes with me, take

340
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: a friend and say, help me pick out some things

341
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: to try on because it can be very overwhelming.

342
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 3: Or DM me, what state do you live in?

343
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 2: Love?

344
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: Because I swear to God, Susan will shop for you.

345
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: She will do it. She with her broken wrist, she

346
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: will shop for you.

347
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 3: I enjoy making people feel good about themselves. Say somebody's

348
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 3: really hippie, you know what I mean? Like wide on

349
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 3: the bottom, what is that a pear shape or something?

350
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 3: Then you're not going to get something that's so fitted

351
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 3: on the bottom and makes your top look invisible. You

352
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 3: want something to compliment an accent your good parts. And

353
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 3: you're right, Kathy. Sometimes color is an amazing, amazing change

354
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 3: in whatever it is. You feel good in it.

355
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I'm with you.

356
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Michelle. It's brutal, but let us know.

357
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: Send us pictures yes, and congratulations. By the way, I'm

358
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: the upcoming wedding of your daughter. All right, here's the

359
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: next one from m okay, which, by the way, if

360
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: your name is Emily, my sister's name is Emily and

361
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: we called her m so I don't know. Maybe it's

362
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: my sister writing this in Hi, Kathy and Susan, I

363
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: love your podcast and advice. I was curious how much

364
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: of an age difference is too much. I am talking

365
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: to a guy who is twenty six and I am twenty.

366
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,959
Speaker 1: Obviously that can be two very different stages of life,

367
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: although I live a life different from most twenty year

368
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: olds and have finished college and work full time. WHOA

369
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: do you think this is an issue? Or could it

370
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: work out? So far it has been going great, But

371
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: interested to see what you guys think.

372
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 3: Twenty and twenty six.

373
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 2: He's six years older than she is, so well.

374
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: Men when sure way slower than women. I was married

375
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: at twenty Susan, so I can't even imagine. I would

376
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: say to you, am you seem perceptive that you realize

377
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: that you could be at two different stages of life,

378
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: but you also seem responsible and mature because you have

379
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: finished college and you work full time at twenty. Most

380
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,719
Speaker 1: twenty year olds are getting drunk on six straight and

381
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: partying and hardy, So you know, you don't seem like

382
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: a twenty year old.

383
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 3: I don't think it's a big deal at all.

384
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 2: Well, I think she said, do you think this is

385
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 2: an issue?

386
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 3: Now?

387
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: It could be an issue and could it work out?

388
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely? The only way you're going to know is keep

389
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: dating them, see how it goes.

390
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm wondering if she's wondering if he thinks

391
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 3: twenty is too young, you know what I mean? And

392
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 3: I'm sharing that that could be, but I wouldn't.

393
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: I don't know.

394
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: I think I think she's insecure. It says like has

395
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: been going great.

396
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 3: Keep saying going great. Who cares? It's a number, it's.

397
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 2: What no number? Your lips to God's ears, It's a number.

398
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: It can be a number and it can be real.

399
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 3: I think that's fifty four and sixty eight.

400
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: I don't know. Would you date someone fifty four?

401
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 3: Yes? I would?

402
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: Well, there you go, all right.

403
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: So it's I think it's it's individal if it's working them,

404
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: you know what, God bless you. I'm so happy you

405
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: found your guy, and maybe he's not your permit forever guy.

406
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 2: Maybe he is. You're only going to know.

407
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 3: That's a good point, Kathy, because you're twenty and he's

408
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 3: twenty six. I don't want to say the odds because,

409
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 3: like you, you got married at twenty and had a

410
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 3: wonderful marriage. I don't know that it's a forever person,

411
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 3: you know what I mean at that age because you

412
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 3: change and you're maturing in your twenties and in your thirties,

413
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 3: you're a little more level headed or settled about what

414
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 3: it is you want and what kind of life you

415
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 3: want with your partner. So right, but I wouldn't change

416
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 3: a thing. Just see what happens.

417
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know what. Don't rush you down.

418
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: You're twenty. Enjoy the moment you're in, Enjoy the time

419
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: you guys have together.

420
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 2: See where it goes.

421
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: And by the way, you know at the top of

422

00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: to you.

Speaker 2: Let us know how it goes.

426
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 3: Thanks for sharing too, all right. The next one is

427
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 3: from Melissa Hi, Kathy and Susan. I loved the podcast

428
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 3: and wanted some advice about a friend of mine. In

429
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 3: March of this year, me and my four best friends

430
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 3: planned a girl's trip to Miami for four days. We

431
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 3: paid for the flights and the air b and B

432
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 3: Already a couple of weeks after we planned the trip,

433
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 3: one of my friends lost their mom suddenly. The four

434
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 3: of us have given her so much love and support

435
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 3: and are helping her get through this tough time. She

436
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 3: recently brought up not wanting to go on the trip

437
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 3: anymore because she doesn't want to burden us if she

438
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 3: suddenly became sad and won't have a safe place to

439
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 3: go if we're out and about. I told her that

440
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 3: we would be there for her no matter what, but

441
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 3: she budge and wants to be refunded for her part

442
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 3: of the airbnb. Should we try and help her come

443
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 3: on the girl's trip because it won't be the same

444
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 3: without her, or let her stay home and grieve her mom.

445
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: Can I say you don't get I love you, Melissa.

446
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: You sound like a wonderful group of ladies of girls.

447
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: You don't get to let her do anything. I am

448
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: talking as a woman who grieved the loss of her husband.

449
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: I've lost my mom in the last year and a half.

450
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: I lost my dad. You don't get to write the rules.

451
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 2: Melissa.

452
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: I hate to tell you you have to let her

453
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: grieve any way she wants. Do you have to refund

454
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: the money? No? Is it the kind generous thing to do? Yeah,

455
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: all of you and your girlfriend should say to her,

456
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: you know what, we want you to come. We hope

457
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: you'll change your mind, but we will happily refund your money.

458
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: But work on her to come.

459
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,959
Speaker 3: But one of the things she says, I won't have

460
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 3: a safe place to go if I become sad. What

461
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: does that mean?

462
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: It just means Susan grief is so it's not linear.

463
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: You don't know when you're gonna feel grief.

464
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 2: How it's gonna be you. But well, that's what she's say.

465
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 3: Go back to the place.

466
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe she's a I don't know, we don't have

467
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: enough information. Maybe, but I know when my husband first died,

468
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: I would break down public in public places. I was embarrassed,

469
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: I felt.

470
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 3: And you know now, I, as your friend, if that happened,

471
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 3: would leave the function and go be with you and

472
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 3: talk it out, get it at let you.

473
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm saying in the moment, in the moment,

474
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: all you can think about is. I don't want other

475
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: people to see it. It's my private grief. I mean,

476
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:53,479
Speaker 1: that's how I felt.

477
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 4: You know.

478
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: I can't speak for Melissa's friend, but I think in

479
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: this case you have to let her quote unk quote.

480
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: It is her life, it is her grief, it is

481
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: her journey through this grief.

482
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 3: How long since? How long of us?

483
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: She's just said lost their mom suddenly? So I'm guessing

484
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: it's recent because they just planned the trip.

485
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 3: But I also agree with she says, should we try

486
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 3: and help her come on the girl's trip because it

487
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 3: won't be the same without her. I would share those

488
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 3: exact words, but we all care if you. If you

489
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 3: have a meltdown, we're here for you. Yes, you'll be

490
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 3: better in our company and cry it out. We're here

491
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 3: to hug you. It doesn't matter for us. We love you.

492
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: Yes, But I one hundred percent agree with what you

493
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: just said, which is scary that I'm one hundred percent

494
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:42,719
Speaker 1: agree with you.

495
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 2: But it happens.

496
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: Don't hold your breath. It's not happening again for the

497
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: next ten minutes at least. But but do you agree

498
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: Susan that if that they have to, they have to

499
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: honor thought her journey through this grief is yes. But

500
00:25:58,840 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: but I'm with you, Susan.

501
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 3: I sometimes you might feel guilty, like, oh god, I

502
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 3: don't want to ruin it. I'm just not happy. I

503
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 3: don't want to go, but sometimes it's the best thing

504
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 3: to do.

505
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: But I mean, I can tell you I couldn't function.

506
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: I couldn't go anywhere. I didn't want people to see me.

507
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand what she's saying.

508
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 3: When your husband died. You mean, oh my god, I

509
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 3: can't imagine that. I couldn't and that's what happened. And yeah,

510
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 3: I mean I couldn't. And I'm guessing this mom was

511
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 3: real to young My mom just passed away a year

512
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 3: and a half ago, who I loved with all my heart.

513
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: But she was ninety six. Not but and she was

514
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: ninety six. I'm guessing this young girl's trip. I'm guessing

515
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: this mom died suddenly at a younger age. And so

516
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: that is very not very if you're not prepared. So

517
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: you are a good friend.

518
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 3: Melissa's kind heart, but do try to encourage her, but

519
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 3: accept what she decides. And you know what, you guys

520
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 3: have to cough up a little more money, Yeah exactly,

521
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 3: But you know what. Regardless of what happens Melissa, whether

522
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 3: she comes or not, go have a good time. Celebrate

523
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 3: your friendships because, as Susan and I can tell you,

524
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 3: good friendships like that don't come at around that often.

525
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 3: So you know, pray for your friend if she doesn't come,

526
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 3: but go and enjoy your telling me to friends, because

527
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,640

00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 2: You answer that one.

537
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: I don't like the one that says lax excitement because

00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:13,359

Speaker 1: to get some vodka out here or something. Wait, can

565
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: all the devastations in California that gave me Honestly, first

566
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: of all, my heart went out to all the people

567
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: a I can't even imagine. But at a very superficial level,

568
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: I sat there thinking, Kathy, will you take you know

569
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: what I thought I didn't care about.

570
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 2: Any of my stuff. Isn't that awful?

571
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: I just care about my kids. I would take my

572
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: passport like I would have. I have all those papers together,

573
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:26,560

Speaker 1: Just are you the same or no?

575

Speaker 3: be devastated, of course, but I don't want to change

577
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 3: who I am. Yeah, all right. Would you rather relive

578
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 3: your most embarrassing moment once a month for the rest

579
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 3: of your life or have a stranger randomly bring it

580

Speaker 3: up in conversation once a year.

581
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: Oh that's easy. I'd have a random stranger bringing up

582
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: in conversation once year. I'd be drunk or high, and

583
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: I wouldn't give a sh shimped what they said. Did

584
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: That was easy?

585
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 3: That was a real easy one.

586
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 2: All right?

587
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 3: Would you rather have all your text and emails from

588
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 3: the last twenty years leaked to the public or have

589
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 3: every thought, have every thought you've ever had about others

590
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 3: spoken out loud?

591
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 2: You know what this question? I actually like.

592
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 3: I don't like this game. It's a new second no game.

593
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: No, well wait a minute, wait a minute, wait, there

594
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: is a lesson in this Please tell me what it is.

595
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: Here's a lesson when and I taught. When I taught

596
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: eighth grade speech and communications, I taught the kids this,

597
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: you can say whatever you want to say when you

598
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: put something in writing on the internet, in a text,

599
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: an email, it.

600
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 2: Lives on there going to get this on in perpetuting.

601
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: They were like, purple, what I said, it means it

602
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: lives forever. Someone always has access to that. So be

603
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: careful what you're right, Be careful what you say. So

604
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: in my case, I would rather have all my texts

605
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: and emails because I'm very careful about what I write.

606
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 3: And she's so perfect punctuations grammar.

607
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 2: I was an English Oh it drives me nuts. Once

608
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 2: an object, I think I would subject.

609
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 3: Agree with you because I don't think I send emails like.

610
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: Every thought I've ever had, weight every thought I've ever had.

611
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: I would be locked up.

612
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: Prison with no razors.

613
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, some warm hair.

614
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 3: And bushy eyebrows.

615
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: Oh god, Susan, you know that would be Susan in prison.

616
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: Let me just say, Susan in prison would be saying

Speaker 1: what day is the hair salon? What day do we

618
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,640

623
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:14,160

661
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 3: friend stole from you years ago and never told you,

662
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 3: or that they secretly sabotaged a relationship you had because

663
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 3: they didn't approve.

664
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 2: Oh that's easy for me.

00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,279

00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: that was ten dollars or less?

667
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 3: But there's no amount. I mean, I think I would

00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 3: rather they stole than they ruined a relationship.

669
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,920

670
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: If the relationship were meant to be, they couldn't sabotage it.
