1 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we go. This is from b 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: on Steve barbfm B says, my wife recently finished writing 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: her first novel, and she's excited about it, but I'm 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: feeling a bit nervous. It turns out she's based most 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: of her characters very obviously on some of our closest friends, 6 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: including their personal struggles and secrets that they've trusted us 7 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: with over the years. She insists it's just fiction, but 8 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 1: anyone anyone in our circle would recognize themselves immediately. This 9 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: is straight out of the Best Man movie Mess with 10 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: Tay Diggs as Harper. Ooh, one of my favorite movies. Anyway, 11 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: I don't want to hurt her feelings or damp in 12 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: her excitement, but I'm worried this book could blow up 13 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: our friendships. So here's a question from B. B says, 14 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: should I encourage her to change it before she tries 15 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: to get it published or am I overthinking this? That's 16 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: what he wants to know. 17 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 2: Oooh, this sound like The Help, That's what it's kind 18 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 2: of like. 19 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: The Best is that man? 20 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 2: For sure?

And she she put it 25 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: all in a book. 26 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 2: You're gonna lose your friendship over that, man, don't do that. 27 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 2: You need to rewrite that, you need you need another draft. 28 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, you need to around you remember Terrence Howard Quinton. 29 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: You're gonna tell it. 30 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: All right?

This is from l C on Reddit. 32 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: L C says I've been a big winner in my 33 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: office March Madness bracket pool in four of the last 34 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: five years. As a result, this year, everyone thinks they're 35 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: being sneaky by asking me to help them make their picks. 36 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,639 Speaker 1: I guess it doesn't occur to them that my helping 37 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: them out works against their best interest. This year, I'm 38 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: thinking about giving legit help to anyone who asked, with 39 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: the understanding that I get half their winnings. What do 40 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: you all think? Is it a good business move or 41 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: is it unsportsmanlike? What do you think? 42 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 3: I think you're going about this the wrong way.

If you 45 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 3: just go ahead and give them the wrong team, you 46 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 3: can win the whole part. Why would I help them? 47 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 3: You know, no, there's there's nothing. You just have to 48 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 3: get the wrong team and we good. 49 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: Oh you didn't your team lost?
