Their roommates, But he's 15 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 2: obviously starting to feel something for Alison. 16 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 3: This whole setup is that they've lived. 17 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 2: Together, their roommates, they've been just friends, but things are 18 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 2: starting to happen. You know, he's taken care of her 19 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: through the breakup of William Moses and then taken care 20 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 2: of her. 21 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 3: At the hospital and her uterus situation. 22 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 4: But you said it, we didn't. 23 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 5: You guys loved it on the recap that boy, we're 24 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 5: just trying to bug you deaf. 25 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're just talking about like that point where 26 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: you're starting to feel more. I mean, if it's clearly 27 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,639 Speaker 2: just friends, it's a bit much in my opinion. Twenty 28 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 2: four carrot a beautiful piece of jewelry. 29 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 3: Like that a necklace for a roommate. But if you're 30 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 3: in his position and you're feeling more and they're getting 31 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 3: a little more into I think it's clear. 32 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 5: It's definitely like a gift for somebody special. It's not 33 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 5: just a friend gift or a roommate gift. And I 34 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 5: think we've all you know, gift giving is, like you 35 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 5: do you have to really think. 36 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 4: Well, wait a minute, what does this gift say? Like 37 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 4: this the right tone? Is this the right thing? 38 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 5: Does this just like hit the right mark? And I 39 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 5: think definitely a twenty four carrot necklace for a roommate 40 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 5: is a gift that says, oh, I think you're special, 41 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 5: and I. 42 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 4: Really this is me saying I love you, you know, 43 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 4: Like I definitely think it speaks volumes. 44 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: Georgie is very intimate right, Yeah, very very romantic, very intimate. 45 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 1: Twenty four carrots, which I've never owned anything, twenty four carts, fourteen, 46 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: I have ten carrot things fourteen pretty fancy, twenty four carrots, 47 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: pretty intense. Billy drives a cab and he doesn't have 48 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: money where you get it, Yeah, I mean in this 49 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 1: day and age, gold is so expensive. Now can you 50 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: imagine that I'm not going to do my little magic 51 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: math where I figured it out. Let's just say it 52 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: would cost a lot of money. And I don't think that. 53 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 1: Allison in the show sort of registers this is sorry. 54 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: She goes, thanks great and puts it on a Carrot's 55 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: on with their day, right. It deserved a conversation that 56 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: they did have. 57 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 5: It was a big deal, and like Joe's you know, 58 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 5: Joe's take on it was not crazy, Like she's like, uh, yeah, 59 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 5: this says something more like you got to figure your 60 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 5: stuff out, you know, either I mean it's to what 61 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 5: you're feeling. 62 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 2: Or yeah, I feel like because Joe has come from 63 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 2: you know, he's a little further down the lawn, she's 64 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: a little further down the line and like a serious relationship. 65 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 2: Maybe she's gotten jewelry and there's sort of like there's 66 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 2: politics and negotiations in this kind of thing in her 67 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 2: world that she came from, and so for him. 68 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 3: It's so naive. It's like the first time, you know, 69 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 3: this was nice. 70 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: It's a very sort of innocent, naive place to give 71 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: it a jewelry from where she I'm sure with the 72 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: world that she was in, it means very specific things 73 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 2: and expectations are probably go along with it. 74 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 3: That's just my view on her kind. 75 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: Of Yeah, And I also think that Joe is seeing 76 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: something that Alison and Billy aren't quite seeing yet, like it. 77 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: So this is where the audience is like, can't start 78 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: for you know, everyone else can see it. I think 79 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: he's really not aware because there's a line which I 80 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: loved when he said it's a token of friendship, and 81 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: then Joe says, and that's exactly what you'll get. 82 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, you can see it, like, don't you know. 83 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: But it's one of those situations where everybody can see 84 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: it except for Billy and Allison at this point. 85 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 3: But Court that's kind of stumped me. 86 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 2: This was it she was saying like twenty four carrot, 87 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 2: because she says, is it eighteen or twenty four? Right, 88 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 2: And so he says, twenty four, that's the most expensive version. 89 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 3: Of a necklace you can get. 90 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 2: So then why does she say, you gave her the 91 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 2: twenty four carrot necklace, that's exactly what you'll get just friendship. 92 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 3: I didn't get that. 93 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: He says it's a token of friendship, and you say, 94 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: and that's what you'll get. 95 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 5: And I think she was also trying to point out 96 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 5: that if you give this necklace, it indicates something greater 97 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 5: than just friendship. But if I if you say to me, oh, 98 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 5: it's just friendship, then then that's I'm going to hold 99 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 5: you to that, Like you don't get to not tell 100 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 5: the truth about what it is you want out of 101 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 5: this relationship. 102 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 4: And like it was, I mean that's sort of how 103 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 4: I see. 104 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 5: It's like because the gift, she was sort of calling 105 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 5: it out, like this gift said a lot more than friendship. Yeah, 106 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 5: so when he says, hey, it's a token of friendship, 107 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 5: She's like, all right, well then that's you know what 108 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 5: I mean. 109 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 4: Like she was almost like she was just calling his 110 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 4: bluff on it, like. 111 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, that it's not about the necklace, it's about his 112 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 2: behavior and how he's gonna. 113 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 5: You need to say what you're actually feeling, because this 114 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 5: necklace says a lot more than what you say you're feeling. 115 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I mean, but it's so interesting because to. 116 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 2: Me it's pretty obvious, Like he seemed really clueless. It's 117 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 2: probably pretty obvious, isn't it. Maybe just because we're women, 118 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: But I. 119 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 5: Think it's just that that like that they're pining for 120 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 5: something more, but none of them are able to say it, 121 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 5: you know. But like I think in real life we 122 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 5: all know that like a twenty four gold necklace would say, wow, 123 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 5: this is you know, a deeper relationship wouldn't be something 124 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 5: you'd do just for a remain or whatever. 125 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: And so yeah, any gold night keeps saying twenty four 126 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: carrot as if now eighteen eighteen carrot is friendship, but 127 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: twenty just jewelry is intimate, it's romantic, and Billy's acting 128 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: like it's not. 129 00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 4: But then get her a book. 130 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 2: People will say, you know, if you get a ring, 131 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 2: that means a lot more. It doesn't have to get 132 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: an engagement ring, but a ring more than like, ugh, 133 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: you know, you often see it where the woman opens 134 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 2: a box and she's expecting a ring, piece of jewelry 135 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 2: and it's earrings, which right, it isn't doesn't mean as 136 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 2: much as the ring. 137 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 3: You know, there's all these levels of meaning.

I think 288 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 5: professionally that you have to like you're saying like, okay, 289 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 5: now we got to deal with this sort of on 290 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 5: camera relationship where we also have this completely different in 291 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 5: real life being right, But also I just I think 292 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 5: that like the repercussions I think are even greater just 293 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 5: to think are we going to make sure that we 294 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 5: can end this well and not badly? 295 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 4: Or like living in an apartment building, like ooh. 296 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 5: If I start something with somebody in my apartment building 297 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 5: and it, it eventually comes to an end. 298 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 4: You know, how do I make that be? 299 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 3: We all try our best. 300 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 2: Nothing is listen in the world of love, nothing is 301 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 2: totally me and perfect, and we do our best and 302 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 2: things have their ending. And frankly, I think in this culture, 303 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 2: this fantasy of romance always focuses on the beginning, the hotness, 304 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 2: the feelings, and then the passion and then the middle, 305 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 2: and no one ever focuses on the end. The end 306 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 2: is an important part of it too, And to do 307 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 2: it skillfully it's really hard because I don't think we 308 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 2: have a lot of role models. We all have broken 309 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 2: heart and people are left and stuff, and so you know, 310 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 2: I remember once I had a breakup. It wasn't with 311 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 2: someone I was working with, but you know, we went 312 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 2: to my therapist. We had the most beautiful situation, and 313 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 2: to this day it's like he we honored the ending 314 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 2: of it. 315 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 3: And I don't think a lot of people do it. 316 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 2: And I think that's really hard if you're working twelve 317 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 2: hours a day with someone. 318 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 3: But you know, we do our best.

Like for most relationships, 326 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: it's not just sex that bonds you, right, hopefully there's 327 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: a real emotional connection. It's amazing if you could keep that, 328 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: especially obviously if you're working together, then that's it. 329 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 2: And even if you're not going to be friends, just 330 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 2: like a story, like a movie, like an episode, there's 331 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 2: an ending. There is an ending that has as much 332 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 2: importance as the middle and the beginning, and at least 333 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 2: honor that.
