But 354 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: we all know the duck bun. 355 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 2: We know a duck boat. 356 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: Duck what New York Times, Come on. 357 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 2: Come on there, there's a tragedy every eight to twelve 358 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 2: years on a duck boat. They're not that great or safe. 359 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 4: I love that they have to explain that to the 360 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 4: average New York Times for that, it's like, well, I'm 361 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 4: only used to sailboats and yachts, so what is this 362 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 4: duck boat? 363 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 2: Yeah? 364 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: Also, I wouldn't call it a World War two amphibious vehicle. 365 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: I'd tell it but a school bus. They cut in 366 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: half and made slightly waterproof on the bottom. 367 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 2: Very true from. 368 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: A British person's point of view. You've never made it 369 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: unless you've made it in America, explained mister shaw Is. 370 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: He practiced an urban extreme ironing atop an ironing board 371 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 1: pyramid in front of a Boston landmark Fenwill Hall. Maybe sure. 372 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: There are about fifteen hundred ironists worldwide, mister shaw and 373 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: some teams have corporate sponsors. 374 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 2: Quote. 375 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: Ariim is to have the level of recognition that it 376 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: becomes an Olympic sport. And if you can have synchronized 377 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: swimming and curling. I think extreme ironing has as much 378 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: to offer. They're really distant on synchronized swimming and curling here. Well, uh, 379 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: it would be the first Olympic sport in which the 380 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: athletes did not use their real names. In order to 381 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: avoid the ridicule of ridicule of our peers, mister Shaw 382 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: and his compadres adopt pseudonyms. He wrote in a how 383 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: to book Extreme Ironing. Mister Shaw is steam.

Now that won 386 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: me over right there, and I was like, men will 387 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: make anything stupid. That first. That was my first takeaway 388 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: from this, And now I kind of really like it 389 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: was that silk on. 390 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 4: Cool silk, Oh, cool silk.

Okay, There's just 392 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 4: that's one pragmatic thing I cannot follow in the story, 393 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 4: which is, so are they plugging an iron in around? 394 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 4: How do you do that? 395 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 2: Okay, good question. 396 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: It is the actual Okay, So there was an actual 397 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: competition in Germany. We went off to get it and 398 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: it says, the actual ironing does count. Iron Iss, mister 399 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: Shaw wrote in his book, are sometimes so absorbed in 400 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: getting themselves into some sort of awkward or dangerous situation 401 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: with their ironing board that they forget the main reason 402 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: they're there in the first place, to rid their clothing 403 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: of crease and wrinkles. The quality of the pressing counts 404 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: for sixty out of one hundred and twenty points. Style 405 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: counts for forty points. In speed twenty Okay. 406 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 2: Not that big of a priority. Speed twenty percent or 407 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 2: twenty points. Nah, take your time wrinkles out. 408 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 4: You would do it right. I mean, I don't know 409 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 4: how often you've ironed, but that is not a fast job. 410 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 4: It's it's you cannot make that fast. If you make 411 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 4: it fast, it looks worse. 412 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 2: Okay, here it is joy ironing. Ironing's not a chore. 413 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 2: I like a good iron that doesn't bother me whatsoever. 414 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes the ironess lug electrical generators, oh oh my god. 415 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: But other times they heat their irons on portable gas stoves. 416 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: A German ironist, doctor iron Q, has treated an iron 417 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: with a chemical that heats up when water is applied. 418 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 4: Okay, this is new lenks This is hilarious too, because 419 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 4: you know, most of American culture has gone to basically 420 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 4: existing in pajamas twenty four to seven, right, that is 421 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 4: the fashion. And if you put an iron too a 422 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 4: pair of sweatpants, it will literally light on fire. It 423 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 4: will melt maybe into molten lava and then or light 424 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 4: on fire because it's basically ninely, it's just all synthetic 425 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 4: and nylon. Even if they're caught and you're just gonna 426 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 4: burn it, you can't iron that stuff. But this is different. 427 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 4: This is linen, this is this is crisp cotton. I imagine. 428 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I wish this is secret. That's my only I 429 00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 2: think this is awesome. I just wish I didn't know 430 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 2: about it. Like I wish that this is a society 431 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 2: of people who only did this for each other. I 432 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 2: wish there's no social media about it. I just wish 433 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 2: group of weirdos that loved ironing and doing extreme things 434 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 2: and just did it to entertain each other. Like if 435 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 2: you came across somebody in Joshua Tree that was slack 436 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 2: lining and ironing a shirt and they were like, I 437 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 2: can't tell you what I'm doing, I would be like amazing. 438 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 4: I can't go for it.

We don't normally 558 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 2: do this. But this was on the would I be 559 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 2: the Asshole? Subreddit and it is would I be the asshole? 560 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 2: Or wibta for spring some kid with my garden hose 561 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 2: daily after he walks all over our lawn. Love it 562 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 2: exactly so here it is I a thirty seven year 563 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 2: old male, live with my wife and son and daughter 564 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 2: who are nine and eleven, respectively. Never forget. Recently there 565 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 2: has been a kid who comes to our house after 566 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 2: playing soccer and either rides his bike or walks over 567 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 2: our lawn with his cleats on the way home. It 568 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 2: started out as me giving him stern looks whenever I 569 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 2: saw him. Then it slowly progressed to me asking him 570 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 2: just to walk around our ared. The last time I 571 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 2: asked him to stop, he made a point to stop 572 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 2: and stomp extra hard and twist his feet in the 573 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 2: grass to piss me off. Since then, I've just been 574 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 2: hosing him. The first time I sprayed him with the hose, 575 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 2: he ran off, but then for some reason he just 576 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 2: started standing there while I hose him down and he 577 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 2: seems to enjoy it. It's now progressed into me sitting 578 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 2: on my lawn chair pointing a hose at him, and 579 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 2: him just staring at me while I do it. Sometimes 580 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 2: we even make small talk. I'm not gonna lie, it's smart. 581 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 2: It started off as a very bitter relationship, but I've 582 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 2: actually gotten to know the kid quite well. We talked 583 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 2: for maybe fifteen or twenty minutes every day. 584 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 4: This is that's a beautiful tale. 585 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, it's so good. I had to read this, 586 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 2: and it doesn't seem he doesn't seem to be mine 587 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 2: being hosed down after sweating hard playing soccer. He comes 588 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 2: by daily and we just shoot the shit while I 589 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 2: hose him, and he stands there for a bit. Wife 590 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 2: told me I need to stop. Even after I explain 591 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 2: to her that I'm making that, she said, I'm making 592 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 2: us look childish and like idiots. I guess I could 593 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 2: stop it. Honestly, it's really funny waiting for him to 594 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 2: come by and I see no harm in it. Would 595 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 2: I be the asshole? 596 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: Oh? I mean, like, it's so funny that this man 597 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: does not understand children at all to think hosing a 598 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: child down would make them stop coming. That is their faith. 599 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,239 Speaker 1: It's all they want, and the whole world is for 600 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: someone to spray them with a hose Every child. 601 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 4: And you know how this movie goes, right, So this 602 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 4: is the thing. Now they're pals. He becomes a sort 603 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 4: of reluctant father figure, starts giving advice, and then one 604 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 4: day that kid grows up and then we just see 605 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 4: the guy with his host, just little drops coming from 606 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 4: the nozzle because the kid has moved on. 607 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: But then he has a heart attack and the boy 608 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: has now become a aarametic. And then the boy saves 609 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: his life and he says and looks like, I got 610 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: you wet this time. 611 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 2: Okay, sure could have gone fireman, we went the other way, 612 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 2: could have easily put out his house at the end, 613 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 2: but we're going that way. And it's called Namby Pamby, 614 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 2: And that is so great. 615 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 4: I love it. I love the I love anything that involves, 616 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 4: first of all, just there someone with malice, someone with 617 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 4: a mean spirit. You know, it's like it's like a 618 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 4: Grinch story right being broken down. But I like the 619 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 4: idea that the kid just stood there and took it 620 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 4: and doesn't it doesn't sound like he smiled or anything 621 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 4: for a quantity of time. 622 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that kid, this kid needs adult attention, is 623 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 2: what I was like. I got out of it and again, 624 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 2: you two are the parents. But to me, it felt 625 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 2: like this kid was being a jerk to get attention, 626 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 2: was just being like a little badass. And then when 627 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 2: this guy called his bluff. Now he's trying to call 628 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 2: that guy's bluff like I don't care getting sprayed, But 629 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 2: deep all he wants is to talk to this guy. 630 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 2: He just wants up an adult to think he's a 631 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 2: great kid. 632 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure that that guy wants to talk to 633 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 4: a kid and he can't admit it. That's why he 634 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 4: was so focused on this kid, on it and his lawn. 635 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: Just let it go, dude, I am envisioning this entire 636 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: movie right now.

Do you know what 639 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: I'm talking?

They were inseparable. They studied together, 834 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,279 Speaker 2: they child together, they partied together. After college, the group 835 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 2: parted ways. They started their respective careers, but got together 836 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 2: for Christmas to reconnect, and Sarah told us she had 837 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,759 Speaker 2: a new job, that she had gotten engaged, and they 838 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 2: were looking to buy a house. She said John was 839 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,360 Speaker 2: very excited about it, and we need to get ready 840 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,879 Speaker 2: for their wedding, which is coming up in March. There 841 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,360 Speaker 2: you go, so you have three months to prepare. And 842 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,239 Speaker 2: of course we were all going to be bridesmaids, so 843 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:51,880 Speaker 2: we were also happy as they were going to be 844 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 2: the first one of our friend group to get married. 845 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,239 Speaker 1: Okay, so there's they're in their twentiesenties and like say, 846 00:43:58,640 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 1: just out of college. 847 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, first and the. 848 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,360 Speaker 4: Friend ready just settle down, clearly. 849 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 2: That's when you know who you are. 850 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 4: You've made all your mistakes. You're ready just to like, 851 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 4: you know, I'm done with partying. I'm done with messing around. 852 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, stay inside, get comfortable. That's when things started to 853 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,959 Speaker 2: get a little strange. February arrived and the bride'smaids still 854 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:25,120 Speaker 2: hadn't received a wedding invitation or big the instructions from Sarah. 855 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 2: The poster reached out as to the maid of honor, 856 00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 2: who noted that the process had been disorganized and that 857 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 2: the couple decided to skip paper invitations and stick to 858 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 2: email to save money. Honestly, smart. Yeah, absolutely, just text me, 859 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:40,759 Speaker 2: tell me when and what you want me to wear. 860 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 4: Send me a magnet at best, give. 861 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,200 Speaker 2: Me a magnet. I'll be there in my untucket shirt 862 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:54,960 Speaker 2: and my wrinkled pants. Switch. Then, three weeks before the 863 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,520 Speaker 2: wedding date, the brides maid reached out and was told 864 00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 2: I was reached out to and was told to buy 865 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 2: a lilac colored dress. Apparently the bride decided to skip 866 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,880 Speaker 2: a bacherette party due to budget constraints as well, so 867 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,400 Speaker 2: all we had to do was show up at the 868 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 2: communicating time at the wedding, and we all found it 869 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,080 Speaker 2: super weird and I felt sad. This was my first 870 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,279 Speaker 2: wedding as a bridesmaid and it turned out to be 871 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 2: a very boring experience. But I thought the couple was 872 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,360 Speaker 2: maybe paying for the house and all the wedding expenses, 873 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,359 Speaker 2: so it made sense they wanted to keep it low key. 874 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,319 Speaker 2: When the original poster of the woman they posted this 875 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,960 Speaker 2: showed up ready to go thirty minutes before the church service, 876 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,319 Speaker 2: she got the shock of a lifetime when the maid 877 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,399 Speaker 2: of honor pulled her aside and asked her to help 878 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:39,759 Speaker 2: introduce the groom to Sarah's friends and family. I was 879 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,759 Speaker 2: confused and asked why John would need to be introduced. 880 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,360 Speaker 2: It's been They've been together for years. And then she 881 00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 2: told me that the groom's name was not John but Michael. Well, 882 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 2: it gets worse. All the bridesmaids were dressed in different 883 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,799 Speaker 2: in a different color, and they did not well yeah, 884 00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,919 Speaker 2: I know, and they did not want me to I don't. 885 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 1: I think that's where it gets worse. I'll be honest 886 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,840 Speaker 1: with you. The bride'smaid's not being a different in the 887 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:06,600 Speaker 1: same color. 888 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:07,400 Speaker 2: I think it's. 889 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:12,759 Speaker 1: Maybe a minor er point that the groom being jettison 890 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 1: at the last moment it was in magenta. This not 891 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,920 Speaker 1: a single gingham to be found. 892 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 2: How do I make this more about me today? Wow? 893 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:26,520 Speaker 4: Wow? 894 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 2: It turns out nobody dared to explain on the phone, 895 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 2: and must have most of the bride'smaids learned about the 896 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,920 Speaker 2: change of groom at the wedding. Only Sarah's parents, siblings, 897 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:42,960 Speaker 2: and the mother the moh knew about it. Okay. The 898 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 2: bride's maid introduced herself to the new groom, who was 899 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,640 Speaker 2: John's opposite in every way. She said, just ten minutes 900 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:53,080 Speaker 2: before the ceremony, which marked a very awkward wedding day, 901 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,480 Speaker 2: I had no idea who he was or why he 902 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,759 Speaker 2: was marrying my friend who less than three months ago 903 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 2: told me she was marrying John. She said all of 904 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,920 Speaker 2: Michael's family was there and they were super happy, and 905 00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,120 Speaker 2: all of Sarah's family was there and they were very 906 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:10,120 Speaker 2: serious and silent. Imagine this, Sarah. 907 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 4: Wow, I love Sarah so much. I am team Sarah. 908 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:16,880 Speaker 1: Good for you. 909 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:16,880 Speaker 3: You. 910 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 1: I am team Sarah. And I will put one hundred 911 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,839 Speaker 1: thousand dollars on the fact that they are no longer mad. 912 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,799 Speaker 2: That's right, that's right since March shorty twenty four. 913 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,960 Speaker 4: I mean nothing. I love the idea of just like, right, 914 00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,120 Speaker 4: the little you know, breadcrumbs that were left along the way. 915 00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 4: Do I really want to put this person's name in 916 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,600 Speaker 4: print on an invitation? No? I do not, you know, 917 00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:47,560 Speaker 4: I do not. Do I really want to? Yeah? Exactly, 918 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,440 Speaker 4: it's all it was all happening, and the fact that 919 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,760 Speaker 4: there was clearly the only thing they had was a space. 920 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:58,360 Speaker 4: It was the only thing they probably put money down, right, Yeah, 921 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,920 Speaker 4: and then she's not gonna stay. She's a budget, she's 922 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,359 Speaker 4: into her budget, doesn't have a lot of money. 923 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:08,600 Speaker 1: Budget. She's just like, look, I'm not losing money, so 924 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:13,400 Speaker 1: I would prefer to get married, make a life changing decision. 925 00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 4: I'm going to American and. 926 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,640 Speaker 1: Lose this five thousand dollars deposit I've put down just to. 927 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,440 Speaker 2: Be the first in her friend group. She wanted to 928 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 2: be number one in the friend group by having the 929 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,440 Speaker 2: strangest She set the bar so low or so sideways, 930 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,000 Speaker 2: maybe just she said it sideways. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So 931 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 2: the poster says, sorry, if you're going ahead, No. 932 00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:36,080 Speaker 4: I think I think most weddings. I'm sort of against 933 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:40,040 Speaker 4: the whole ridiculousness of a wedding. So if anyone messes 934 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,839 Speaker 4: with it, I'm like, yeah, good for you. Take this 935 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:49,000 Speaker 4: dumb institutional celebration down.
