Speaker 1: Scrubbing In with Becca Tilly and Tanya rap An iHeartRadio podcast.

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 2: Hello everybody, we are scrubbing in.

3
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,239

4
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:19,360

Speaker 2: Episode today that's right for y'all's hard hitting questions, concerns, emails, messages.

00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 4: We're here.

7
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 5: Can I tease one that we'll end with? Remember a

8
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago we talked about there was a

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 5: listener from I want to say another country named Lilah.

10
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: Oh that that she had kept trying to make plans

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: was like her sister in laws and well.

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 5: The key was that she had said we were We

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 5: wondered aloud how she found us? Wasn't she in Denmark? Amsterdam?

14
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 4: I thought it was.

15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 5: We talked, Yeah, we're trying to remember, we're trying to like,

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 5: we're brainstorming how she may have found us. Well, we

17
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 5: have the answer to how she found us.

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: Ah, yeah, wow, that will be towards the end of

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: the episode for letting us know.

20
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 4: Shall we just jump right into it? Shall it?

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 3: Shall we?

22
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 4: Shall?

23
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 5: We shall? Let's do it? Here we go from Taylor.

24
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: Oh, you're discerning from the top, Should I not?

25
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 4: Nope, That's what I like to do.

26
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 5: Okay, take it from the top, Taylor says, Hi Becatanya

27
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 5: Mark and Eastern longtime listener here an overall big fan.

28
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 5: I was recently burned by a friend and I'm having

29
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 5: a hard time moving on. My wife wlw relationship and

30
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 5: I let a friend move into our basement while she

31
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 5: was going through a divorce. As Thanksgiving approached, we had

32
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 5: to do some problem solving because we booked a dog

33
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 5: sitter as we were going to be traveling. The dog

34
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 5: sitter was going to live at the house when we

35
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 5: were gone. Well, that wasn't really fair to either one

36
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 5: of them because they'd be forced to live alongside each

37
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 5: other as strangers, which is weird. And explaining that to

38
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 5: our friend, she said, hey, I'll watch the dogs. I'm

39
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 5: going to be here. Don't pay for a dog sitter.

40
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 5: I got you great, cancel the dog sitter. They were

41
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 5: charged a cancelation fee for canceling dog sitter, but okay,

42
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 5: still save us some money. We got a good plan here.

43
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 5: Fast forward a few weeks, five days before we were

44
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 5: supposed to leave, said friend texted saying, you know what,

45
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 5: my plans have changed. I'm going to be traveling too.

46
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 5: I can no longer watch those dogs. Well, luckily we

47
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 5: were able to find out the dog sitters to cover this,

48
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 5: but now we're paying the cancelation fee to the first

49
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 5: one and now to other people to watch the dogs.

50
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 5: And we thought it was right for her to maybe

51
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 5: pay for those fees or help us pay for those fees. Instead,

52
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 5: she abruptly moved out and has cut off all communication.

53
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 5: I'm curious to know if you think it's fair that

54
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 5: we asked her to cover the fees, and regardless, how

55
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 5: do you suggest I let this go and move on.

56
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: I think if y'all did hear that big of a favor,

57
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: letting someone move into your home and crash is such

58
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 2: a yes, a kind thoughtful thing to do for someone

59
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: like that's a big undertaking.

60
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

61
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: And so for her to not even have, first of all,

62
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: the respect of not offering to help y'all find a

63
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: dog sitter or pay for one, or saying like, let

64
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: me pay the cancelation fee. I'm sorry that that happened

65
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: and that I changed last minute just kind of is

66
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: exposing the type of person she is.

67
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 4: And maybe she's going through a lot.

68
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: I'm not saying maybe she's not her best self right

69
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: now if she's going through a divorce and just trying

70
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: to figure.

71
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 4: Out her life.

72
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 2: But I think maybe it's for the best, and maybe

73
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 2: she did you a favor cutting off communication.

74
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: I feel like the best piece of advice I've ever

75
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: received is take people as they are. I'll say it

76
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: again for the people in the back. Take people as

77
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: they are. Like Becca said, she may not be in

78
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: her best state right now going through divorce. She might be,

79
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: you know, frazzled and not dealing with stuff that with

80
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: it she normally would. But to me, like if she

81
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: didn't offer to help pay for the fees and isn't

82
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: like offering that to me, asking that is so awkward

83
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: and such a waste of your energy because you're gonna

84
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: work yourself up trying to like figure out how to ask,

85
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: and then if she says no, then you're gonna work

86
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: yourself up over that. You're gonna be working yourself up

87
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: so much over this. It's kind of just like, know

88
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: this about her now and.

89
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: Just learn moving forward.

90
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 4: She already asked her to pay she just hasn't.

91
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: She just already asked her to pay the fees, and

92
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: she just stopped corresponding.

93
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:14,839
Speaker 4: She's ghosted them.

94
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 5: So does she owe you? Yeah, probably stayed with you,

95
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 5: used your home dog fees, whatever. But here's the quote

96
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 5: that I like to live by, good advice I received.

97
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 5: We've discussed this before. Life becomes easier when you learn

98
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 5: to accept the apology that you never got. So is

99
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 5: she sorry? Let's assume she is. In fact, she probably is.

100
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 5: Maybe she's embarrassed, maybe she's not. Maybe even if she's not,

101
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 5: you know what, accept her apology whether it happens or not,

102
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 5: and you move on. That's it.

103
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

104
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: I think that maybe she felt embarrassed and isn't in

105
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: a financial place to help pay fees.

106
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 4: But in a perfect.

107
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 2: World, she could have said, you know what, I'm sorry,

108
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 2: I'm not able to pay those fees, like financially, is

109
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: there any way else I can help you or do

110
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: something to help you out? Because I feel really bad

111
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: and I want to be a good friend to you.

112
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: She might not have the capacity to do that or

113
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: the tools to do that. And I also agree with Mark, like,

114
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: there are just people in your life that you have

115
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: to let go the expectation of getting an apology because

116
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: you could waste your life and energy waiting to get

117
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: something that will never happen. Yeah, and if you can't

118
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 2: move on from it, you're just you're spending unnecessary energy

119
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: on someone who's probably not ever going to think about

120
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: it again.

121
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, my god, I need to listen to this advice. Honestly,

122
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 3: I work myself up over.

123
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 5: Quite a lot about being treated poorly or treating others

124
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 5: poorly in the past.

125
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, about being treated poorly, but it's like it's never

126
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: going to change. That person is the way that they are,

127
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: and I just have to live with it, take them

128
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: as they are.

129
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: Know. I one time had someone say something horrible to me,

130
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 2: and like, after a few years, I finally called.

131
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 4: And was just explaining.

132
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: I explained my hurt to them, and I was still

133
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: expecting an apology and dating of me an apology. And

134
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: I had a moment where I was like, oh my gosh,

135
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 2: I have spent way more time thinking about this than

136
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: they ever did.

137
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I have.

138
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 2: To let it go because I don't know that I'm

139
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: ever gonna get what I thought I needed from them.

140
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 3: Damn. Take that advice put in my pocket.

141
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 5: This one is from her name for herself. She called

142
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 5: herself almost thirty, flirty and trying not to dry heath

143
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 5: here we go, Dear Banya and Mark and Easton. Last year,

144
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 5: I celebrated my twenty ninth birthday by inviting a few

145
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 5: friends to my favorite diner for dinner sweatshirts and sweatpants. Encouraged,

146
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 5: A dear friend brought her new boyfriend. He is hilarious

147
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 5: and he clearly loves her very much. One problem. He

148
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 5: has horrible table manners. He burps loudly and often. Sometimes

149
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 5: he says to excuse me, but not always, and he

150
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 5: often makes a big show of blowing it away. It's

151
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 5: so awkward, jarring, and honestly makes me gag. His burp

152
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 5: stopped conversations multiple times because it was so startling. I'm

153
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 5: planning the same get together to celebrate turning thirty in

154
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 5: a few weeks, and I don't know how to address

155
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 5: this with my friend right now. The invitation doesn't have

156
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 5: the option for a plus one. But what if she

157
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 5: asks to bring him? Do I invite him and ask

158
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 5: him to be more mindful or do I just suck

159
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 5: it up for her? Please help?

160
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 3: Oh my god goes the same to this.

161
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: Take people as they are. You cannot ask this man

162
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: to like not burp it. There's no Maral in which

163
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: that goes over well, I think you I think you

164
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: could ask your friend.

165
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 4: I could. I think you could have a conversation with

166
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 4: your friend and be like, wait.

167
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: This reminded my birthday's coming up and reminded me of

168
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: last year when Tom kept burping loudly at the table,

169
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: like he's still doing that? Does that bother you?

170
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 3: And if she says no, it's so funny and cute,

171
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: then what.

172
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 4: Then be like, people, can you ask him not to

173
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 4: do It's gonna gross.

174
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: And then she's gonna be like, oh, do you not

175
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: want him to come to your You don't want him around?

176
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 3: And I don't need to bring him around?

177
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 2: Then be like, I love him. He's so funny and

178
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: everyone loved him. It was just the burping was a

179
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: little jarring. Stop the conversation multiple times.

180
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 5: I agree, I think talk to the friend.

181
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 4: This isn't this isn't like a personality trait. This is like,

182
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 4: he could very well not belch at the table.

183
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 3: I just don't see a world in which this goes

184
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: over well.

185
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 5: But look, there's no plus one, so she has to

186
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 5: call and say, hey, do you mind if Tom comes?

187
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 5: Then you say love Tom. Tom's so funny, he clearly

188
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 5: or however, however, the burping last year was a little

189
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 5: much for me. Could we maybe give him an antacid

190
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 5: or something to, you know, make it?

191
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 4: Did jamake it?

192
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 3: You say this now?

193
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: No?

194
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: I think this is when we were going to your

195
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: birthday dinner and Robbie was burping like a sailor on Okay.

196
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 2: Let's say I didn't have a plus one and you

197
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: called and said, Beca, can I burt?

198
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 4: What am I saying? Becca?

199
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 3: Can I bring Robbie?

200
00:08:58,760 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

201
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: I would say hey. I'd be like, yes, I love Robbie.

202
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: Can you ask him not to belt at the table

203
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: this year? Yes?

204
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 4: I would make it funny. And then you'd probably be like,

205
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 4: what he burped?

206
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 3: And he literally was blowing the burps away. I would

207
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 3: say it smells like roses, what's your problem?

208
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: You would not would Yeah, You'd probably be like, yeah,

209
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: he does that because.

210
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 5: It would bother you too on some level.

211
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 3: I don't know about that.

212
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, she probably yes, it would. She'd be like no,

213
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 4: but I do.

214
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: I think it could be funny if you were if

215
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: if she said like, what he did that, and you

216
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: can be yeah, just let him know if he does

217
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: it again this year, we're putting him at another table.

218
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 2: Make it funny. Funny, yeah, lighthearted. I would say something

219
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,599
Speaker 2: that is disgusting.

220
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 5: You have a pepsid A c oh my god, slide

221
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,720

222
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 5: not a nervous tick. This is an actual He's doing

223
00:09:59,480 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 5: this on purpose.

224
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 3: All right? What are you guys? Thinks?

225
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:04,120

Speaker 2: Just no.

227
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 5: Plus ones's another option from anonymous. Hi, beck Antani, I

228
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 5: could you some help. I'm visiting my boyfriend's hometown and

229
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 5: in a few weeks for a wedding. He will be

230
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 5: the best man for the groom. Seems fine, right?

231
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 2: Well?

232
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 5: I was browsing the wedding website to look for the registry,

233
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 5: and while doing so, I saw the bridal party information

234
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 5: and come to find out, I see a name that

235
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 5: sounded familiar. Yep, his ex girlfriend is going to be

236
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 5: part of the bridal party. I gasped, because this was

237
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 5: news to me and he hadn't brought this up. I'm

238
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 5: trying not to spiral here is maybe this is something

239
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 5: he just forgot to share or felt like it wasn't necessary.

240
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 5: Should I ask him about the ex? Should I ignore

241
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 5: it and move on for the wedding. I'm going to

242
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 5: be alone for a bit while the wedding party does

243
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 5: their thing. How do you go about seeing your significant

244
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 5: others X at a wedding. I'm trying not to make

245
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 5: this awkward, but I'm feeling a bit nervous now as

246
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 5: we are closer to it.

247
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 4: I've never had a deal with this. Have you had

248
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 4: to do with this?

249
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 3: H I mean it's not quite the same.

250
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 5: I see what you're saying.

251
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's not quite the same, right, because

252
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: it's it's actually not the same.

253
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 5: So no, I have not dealt with it that his

254
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 5: ex is in your life.

255
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, likes right, because there's children involved, so like I

256
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: see her around and stuff like that. But it's it's

257
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: different in the sense that, like my question to you.

258
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 3: Goes though, I feel like the bridal.

259
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: Party doesn't do much together aside from like take photos.

260
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: So like, yeah, they're going to be like taking photos

261
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: and stuff, but it's not like they're like hanging out

262
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: and drinking, you know what I mean. Like the girls

263
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: are going to be getting ready with the girls, the

264
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be getting ready with the groom, you know.

265
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: Like I feel like there's not gonna be much overlap,

266
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: So I feel like you shouldn't spiral too much because

267
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: they're literally just gonna be taking photos together.

268
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 4: Listen, she'son X for a reason. You're with him.

269
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 2: Now, you're going to the wedding as his date. And

270
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: I think that that there is nothing cooler than you

271
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 2: knowing and not saying or in my opinion.

272
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 5: Yes, and he is not keeping this from you.

273
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 3: I agree. I think that he probably.

274
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 5: Couldn't care less and doesn't it even think about yeah, yeah.

275
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 2: And if if there's a moment at the wedding where

276
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: you're like you see him talk like you're kind of

277
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 2: like what's going on, then it's a conversation of like, hey,

278
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: you know, I didn't know.

279
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 4: I don't even know. I don't think you say anything.

280
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 5: No, you're better than this anonymous you won.

281
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 4: I don't know that. I think you won.

282
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: One.

283
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 5: Yes, rise above to get involved in that stuff.

284
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: Unless she wants to like make a joke, she could

285
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: make a joke like, oh, I didn't know, Betty Lows.

286
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 4: The joke always kind of like jokes for belching. The

287
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 4: jokes are for belching.

288
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I think I think you just put on

289
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: your best dress. Walking confident in her.

290
00:12:55,120 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh you had a next name Martha Lou.

291
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 3: No you can't, you can't. You can't go down that path.

292
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 4: I'm just kidding.

293
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 3: No, no, no.

294
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 2: Just introduce yourself like nothing's just like more screams confidence,

295
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: like a strong introduction.

296
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, Martha Lou.

297
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 3: I did that with Martha Lou.

308
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 5: I've been dating my boyfriend for four years. We lived

309
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 5: together at a solid relationship, were in our late twenties.

310
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 5: I'm from the East Coast. He's from the West Coast.

311
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 5: He came here for a five year PhD program and

312
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 5: he was set to graduate next May. I am in

313
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 5: a master's program to become a nurse practitioner, set to

314
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 5: graduate next May as well. Since the beginning, my boyfriend

315
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 5: has made it pretty clear that he doesn't want to

316
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 5: stay here. There are opportunities, but he wants to go

317
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 5: back home, but back to the West Coast. Friend's family,

318
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 5: all that stuff, and I've been excited at the prospects

319
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 5: of living in a new place, and I said, I

320
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 5: am on board, I'm flexible, let's go west. Well, my

321
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 5: boyfriend took an internship this fall, so it means that

322
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 5: his graduation is going to be pushed back, so we're

323
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 5: no longer graduating at the same time. My degree requires

324
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 5: a lot of clinical skills and knowledge that I'm worried

325
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 5: that if I will then I'll lose those skills. If

326
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 5: it don't immediately start a job when I graduate, I

327
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 5: could fall back on being a nurse at my current

328
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 5: job for a bit, but it's not something I want

329
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 5: to do for too long. I'm excited to get started

330
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 5: start my life. I wanted to be making the endp

331
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 5: Bucks and Me says, I have to get a job

332
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 5: for myself and focus on what's best for me. Modern

333
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 5: woman power all the way. But there's this part of

334
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 5: me that thinks am I jeopardizing our relationship by not

335
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 5: waiting a few months for him to graduate figure out

336
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 5: his stuff so we can all move together. For context,

337
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 5: he's very supportive of me getting an MP job here,

338
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 5: especially since we're in a city with some of the

339
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 5: best hospitals in the country. He seems okay with being

340
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 5: in two different places for a bit. He says, we'll

341
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 5: make it work, we'll figure it out. But I can't

342
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 5: help the thinking. The committee to do a job here

343
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 5: is going to make things harder on our relationship. What

344
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 5: are your thoughts? And by the way, thank you for

345
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 5: being a continual happy place for me. You guys are

346
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 5: the best.

347
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: This one's tough because I feel like I don't know

348
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: the intricacies of NP and like that job circuit because

349
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: if you take if she takes the job there now

350
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: and then he graduates in six months, can't she just

351
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: look for another job in six months?

352
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 3: Summow is right that poo pooed upon.

353
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know either, but maybe that is something

354
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 4: I don't know.

355
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: It seems like a very compromise. Get a job now

356
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: straight out after you graduate, wait for him to graduate,

357
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: and then transfer after six months wherever he goes, or why.

358
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 4: Can't y'all stay for.

359
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: Like agree to a time, Like let's say you agree

360
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: to stay there for a year, you get a job,

361
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 2: you're there for at least a year, and then you

362
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: see if there's a transfer opportunity, and that way, when

363
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: he graduates, he can get a job or something, and

364
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: y'all can kind of be in the same place while

365
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 2: you're doing what you want to do.

366
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 4: With the potential of transferring somewhere else.

367
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 5: Right, I think you'd be giving to him by getting

368
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 5: a job and waiting for him, and then he should

369
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 5: give to you by kind of waiting for you, because

370
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 5: I think a year at a job that's reasonable. Right

371
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 5: to leave after a year at a job, I don't know.

372
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 5: It seems like I don't think you'd be looked down

373
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 5: upon if you left after a year, No.

374
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: Because I mean I think you just graduate, you get

375
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 2: a job, and then it's kind of like, Okay, there's

376
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: opportunities always to transfer and go to new places.

377
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 5: I guess there's a danger that this is going to

378
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 5: be a great job. She can love it, you love

379
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 5: the people she works with. She's not I want to

380
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 5: leave so much. I guess there's danger in that.

381
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 4: I think here's the thing.

382
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 2: If you're compromising and you're saying, well, he finishes, then

383
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 2: I think that he compromises and stays till you feel

384
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 2: ready to move on too. I think if this is

385
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 2: your person and you'll want to be together, then you're

386
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 2: going to figure it out wherever you are.

387
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 5: How do you both feel about them spending say six

388
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 5: months apart he leaves after he graduates. She does know

389
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 5: the six months on the East coast? Is that dangerous

390
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 5: as long as.

391
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: There's an end date, right, Like, as long as you

392
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: have a goal to be together. I think it's problematic

393
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: when you do long distance and there's no end in sight.

394
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 2: I think long distance is hard though, like I do,

395
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: I think your relationship will experience the new challenges and

396
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: if y'all.

397
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 3: It doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you.

398
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 4: That's true.

399
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: But I don't know that if Robbie said, hey, let's

400
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 2: spend six months apart, that you would say, if it

401
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 2: doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you.

402
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: If he said spend six months, I'd be like, really,

403
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: so you're not getting.

404
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 5: Out of that, But like, timeframe wise, okay. She graduates

405
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 5: twenty five May, she gets a job, he graduates what

406
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 5: I guess January twenty six, then he moves west. So

407
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 5: you're looking at like maybe end to twenty six year together.

408
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 5: That does seem like a long time from.

409
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 3: Now, but they're in their late twenties. They have time.

410
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 5: That's true.

411
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 4: If this is your person, then ye'll figure it out.

412
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 2: You're gonna and it might be hard, and you might

413
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: go through some rocky time of you know, navigating what

414
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: to do. But if this is your person, then the

415
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 2: end will be all together somewhere.

416
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: I agree.

417
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 5: Is there anything to the theory that you should test

418
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 5: a relationship like putting your relationship to a test like this.

419
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 5: If you can survive this, he is definitely the one

420
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 5: that you can survive anything.

421
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 3: Personally, I don't agree on these tests.

422
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think every relationship. I think if you

423
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 2: get through it, then yeah, it was worked out and

424
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 2: y'all were meant to be because you put in the

425
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 2: work to make it work. But I don't know that

426
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: every relationship needs to go through an LDR to know

427
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 2: if it's right or not.

428
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 5: Well, every relationship will be tested in its own ways.

429
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 5: I suppose perhaps this.

430
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 3: Is yours has its test.

431
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 5: Objects, anonymous mother in law missing an action, Nope, made

432
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 5: of honor, missing an action. I got my acronyms messed up.

433
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 5: Hi Beckatania Market Eastern. I'm getting married next summer. My

434
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 5: maid of honor has essentially ghosted me. For context, I

435
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 5: named my two high school best friends as co maids

436
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 5: of honor, and I have one other bridesmaid. My co

437
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 5: maids of honor haven't always been the best communicators, but

438
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 5: I knew that going in. I'm a planner. I have

439
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 5: no issues of ranging the details of my bachelorette party

440
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 5: and the wedding. That being said, I'll ask for input

441
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 5: from time to time. It has been three months since

442
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 5: I've heard from one of my maids of honor. We

443
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 5: were so worried we even reached out to her sister

444
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 5: and her husband. The only thing they told me is

445
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 5: that works really busy and she's horrible at responding waiting

446
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 5: on her to pay her portion of the bachelorette party,

447
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 5: give input on the dresses, amongst other things, and I

448
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 5: feel I've been hurt that she's not making the effort.

449
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,239
Speaker 5: I've even gone so far as to say, hey, I

450
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 5: haven't heard from you in a long time, and I'm

451
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 5: really worried. Please let me know you're okay. No response?

452
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 5: How do I move forward? If she continues to not respond?

453
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 5: Do I remove her from the bridal party? Or am

454
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 5: I overreacting? Tanya? What would you do if one of

455
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 5: your bridal party members stopped responding? Thank you guys so

456
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 5: much for what you do. I've been listening since the

457
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 5: very beginning and want you to know the Canadians love you.

458
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 2: But first of all, can you imagine I'm just like

459
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: stop responding.

460
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I for one, wouldn't allow it. I

461
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: would just keep texting until I got a response.

462
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know that that's the best approach

463
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 2: to annoy the person, but you know, if all else fails,

464
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 2: I just don't know if this is the person you

465
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 2: want representing your closest, most supportive people in your life

466
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 2: standing next to you on your wedding day like you're

467
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 2: about sing a huge commitment in your life, and the

468
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: person that you want standing up or you know, not

469
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: physically standing up, metaphorically standing up there with you, is

470
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 2: ghosting you.

471
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 4: I think you have your answer. Take people as they

472
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 4: are as they are.

473
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: I know, but she's in a little bit of a

474
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: picklenaw because she's already asked her to be her maide

475
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: of honor, so now she's honor, so you think she.

476
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 2: I would just say, Hey, I feel like you have

477
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 2: a lot going on. I don't want you to feel pressure.

478
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 2: I I know I gave I asked you to be

479
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 2: a maid of honor, and I I think maybe that

480
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 2: what may have been too much for you to take

481
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 2: on during this time in your life. So I would

482
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 2: love for you to be a part of the wedding,

483
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: but I also don't want you to feel like if

484
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 2: it's too if there's too much happening, I don't want

485
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: you to feel that pressure. And just maybe she'll respond

486
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 2: to that. If she doesn't respond, then like I don't

487
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: think she should be a part of your wedding.

488
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: I do feel like there's become this like crazy expectation

489
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 1: that like people have on their bridal party for like

490
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 1: all of these things like basically like helping them like

491
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: completely helping them plan their wedding, being so involved like

492
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: do it. You know, Like I feel like there's so

493
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: much pressure put on people for these things when we're

494
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: all just trying to like live our lives and do

495
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: our best and I think that obviously she cannot participate

496
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: in the way that you want her to, so just

497
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: work around her. If she's not getting back to you

498
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: about a dress, like that's semi important, Like she needs

499
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: to like that's.

500
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 4: What I'm saying, get a dress or.

501
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 3: Just be like, hey, like if this is too much, I'm.

502
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 4: Totally cool with it.

503
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: I really actually am Mary May has been doing an

504
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: excellent job and she's happy to take on the full responsibility.

505
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: And that way, you don't have to like do anything.

506
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: You can just attend the wedding, have fun, be there,

507
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: celebrate our love. But you don't have to do you

508
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: don't have any of the responsibility.

509
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would just let her off the hook if

510
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: that's if that's why she's not responding, But as a friend,

511
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 2: aside from the nid of honor duties, I think it

512
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 2: sucks that she's not responding period because she could communicate,

513
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 2: like I just don't know if I have the bandwidth

514
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 2: for this, and I want to be there for you,

515
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: but I'm clearly not able to show it for you

516
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 2: the way I need to, and.

517
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 4: She's not doing that. Yeah, I agree, So I'm bothered.

518
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: I'm bothered for you, but I think you just move forward,

519
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 2: but they can't move forward.

520
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 4: Like with the bachelortte party, she's not you just.

521
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: You need to pay her portion, pay her out, pay

522
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: her portion and cut her out.

523
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 4: Oh well, we've changed pay portion and cut her out.

524
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 3: Cut her out.

525
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: You're trying to plan the bachelor party. She's not paying,

526
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: she's not responding. You got to get the show on

527
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: the road. Circus has got to go to town.

528
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 5: So if she's not responding to you, give her a deadline.

529
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 5: Do you say, Look, if I don't hear from you

530
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 5: by the end of the year, we got to just

531
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 5: plan this without you. And I'm so sorry.

532
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 2: I like the year, end of the week, whatever, whatever,

533
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 2: like set a timeline when you need it, Like when

534
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: you need to know, just say, hey, if I don't

535
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,479
Speaker 2: hear from you by next Friday, we have to move forward.

536
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 4: And I'm just I'm just gonna assume that you're not

537
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 4: able to be.

538
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 5: That gives her an hour. Yeah, without making her respond,

539
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 5: she can just ignore you and then then you have

540
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 5: every answer you need. By the way, how do you

541
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 5: feel about a bride planning her own bachelorette party? Is

542
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 5: that common?

543
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 2: Allie? Basically did hers because she like wanted it in

544
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: a very specific way, and she I would be like

545
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: what about this? And she would go what about this?

546
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 2: And I was a sounding board but she basically.

547
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 5: So not not that uncommon. That sounds uncommon to me.

548
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 4: But I don't guess if I would like to plan mine,

549
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 4: you would.

550
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna plan mine?

551
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 5: Really well, why don't you just let them take care

552
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 5: of it?

553
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 3: Time's a ticket, Mama's got to go. Mama's gotta go for.

554
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,959
Speaker 4: A location and date which week last time we did

555
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 4: the podcast?

556
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: You can figure out a date with all these people around,

557
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: So I'm just like, we gotta go.

558
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 5: I them a date in the city and then Becka

559
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 5: and Paulina plan the whole thing. That's what I think.

560
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 5: You You do well? Let go Not as easy as that.

561
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 5: Why why not for the.

562
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 3: We have some bumps in the road, do you Yeah?

563
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 5: I guess we're not going to talk about those bumps.

564
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: What there's just scheduling conflicts for different members of the

565
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: bridal different members of.

566
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 3: The bridal party. So it's like, do I just.

567
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: Go on a weekend where everybody can attend and just

568
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: say it's fine if people can't attend.

569
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

570
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: Like that's or do I just do it in a

571
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: way where it's less aggressive and people can attend.

572
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 3: Everybody can attend. Does that make sense?

573
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 5: Yeah?

574
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 3: Kind of the bump.

575
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 5: That's the debate right now. Well, just let me know.

576
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 5: I can't wait.

577
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: We're really looking forward to it, regardless of where we

578
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 2: do it, whether.

579
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 4: Afar or we need to get the ball rolling.

580
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, time, time is a ticking.

581
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, Coming up next, we're going to tell

582
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 5: you how Leylah found us. By the way, I was wrong,

583
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 5: She's not from another country. I was mixing up I

584
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 5: scrub her email. Yeah, but she's the one that we

585
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 5: went back through March and April's guests to figure out

586
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 5: who drew her to us. Okay, well we have an answer,

587
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 5: all right, and it's next.

588
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 4: All right, we are back.

589
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 2: I love when people give us updates on things because

590
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 2: we never do. We never come through with updates, but

591
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 2: they always come through for us.

592
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 5: Lilah wrote to us for our last dear Banya, and

593
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 5: we wondered how she found us. She said she found

594
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 5: scrubbing in back in April. We were like, I wonder

595
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 5: what that was? Why? In April of twenty twenty four.

596
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 5: Did she find scrubbing in with Becca Antonya well? She

597
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 5: wrote us back and Lilah said, thank you so much

598
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 5: for answering my questions on the Dear Bonya to be

599
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 5: continued episode, by the way, a classic, in my opinion,

600
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 5: a classic. I wanted to reach back out to answer

601
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 5: your fellow up for me. I found your podcast episode

602
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 5: with Parvity wow Well. Looking for podcast interviews from the

603
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 5: Traders participants and loved par from both Traders and Survivor.

604
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 5: I love Parv as well. She's great, and I think

605
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 5: that was one of our theories, wasn't it. When we

606
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 5: were running down the possibilities in March and April, I

607
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 5: think we mentioned poverty. I was then drawn back in

608
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 5: with the Chelsea Blackwell interview from Love Is Blind. I

609
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 5: listened to a few more episodes with just Tanya, Beckham,

610
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 5: Mark and Easton, and by April I was hooked Wow Well.

611
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 5: I knew and was more familiar with Becker from the Bachelor.

612
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 5: I was really intrigued by Tany's intentionality and thoughtfulness, and

613
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 5: I absolutely loved the banterler between Tanya and Beca. The

614
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 5: way Mark and Eastern are included was also a big

615
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 5: draw and a dynamic. I love to listen to keep

616
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 5: doing what you're doing. I'm a scrubber for life. PS Tanya.

617
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 5: I like the abbreviated TBC as a sign off as

618
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 5: opposed to to be continued. It's shorter and as the

619
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 5: same rhythm as love yea Baye, which feels short, sweet

620
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 5: and familiar. My two cents TVC Oh.

621
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 3: My god, I was so cute.

622
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 4: I was so cute, the cutest ever.

623
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 5: Thoughts on TBC.

624
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 3: That'sn't TBC because people that don't know.

625
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, so maybe I have to start with to be

626
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: continued for a while as I get used to it,

627
