We've grown a part over the past 17 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: few years, but she still considers me important enough to 18 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: make me a bridesmaid. I hope she, like Opie says 19 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: that she still considers me important enough. 20 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: Yeah important, No, no, no. 21 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: Her running is set to be in three weeks. One 22 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: reason though I'd sort of distance myself from her was 23 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: because of her treatment of my relationship. My boyfriend Jack 24 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: and I have been together for three and a half years. 25 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: He's a wonderful person and there's no doubt in my 26 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: mind that this is the man that I want to marry. 27 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: But Mary is under the impression that Jack is too 28 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: good for me. 29 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: Aren't you usually gassing your friends up? 30 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: You know, like, oh my god.

Yeah, 33 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: I can't believe, like you found love.

You find to saying you sucked. 36 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: That's so you shouldn't be in a relationship with him. 37 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 2: The tough love like, hey, instead of your highlights look great, 38 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: like you look like a dumpster fire. 39 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, instead of like you have such a great personality, 40 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: you have the personality of a plank of wood that 41 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: I want to burn. 42 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 2: Of course, just preparing you for the real world.

His parents are certainly very wealthy. 60 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: He was practically guaranteed a lavish life from the moment 61 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: that he left the womb.

Luckily, Gary wasn't upset and 167 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: ended up making a few jokes about the whole ordeal. 168 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: So it seems like Gary's pretty chill. 169 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's good.
