- 2:19Speaker 3: Are you joking right now? I guess this is an
- 2:21Speaker 3: actual serious thing you're going through. Right now, you tell
- 2:24Speaker 3: me you're kidding?
- 2:24Speaker 1: You think that I want to be calling you about this.
- 2:27Speaker 1: It's embarrassing.
- 2:29Speaker 3: I thought you knew what you were doing. We talked
- 2:31Speaker 3: about all of this in the email, and you were
- 2:33Speaker 3: supposed to be by five to get all of this done.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Have you going to be honest with you?
- 2:37Speaker 3: I don't.
- 2:37Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of experience with balloons.
- 2:40Speaker 3: What the hell does that even mean?
- 2:43Speaker 4: As a kid, I wasn't allowed to have balloons at
- 2:45Speaker 4: my birthday parties because my cat buster was allergic to latex.
- 2:49Speaker 1: So my parents said, no, are you kidding?
- 2:52Speaker 3: Me. Ah, that's what's going to stop this party is
- 2:56Speaker 3: that I have a man who can't blow up a balloon.
- 3:00Speaker 1: That's the meaning. Now my confidence is low.
- 3:04Speaker 3: Well, you know what, even when you had high confidence,
- 3:07Speaker 3: this wasn't working. So I don't know what to tell you.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Say something nice, say something encouraging to me.
- 3:13Speaker 3: I'm not here to inspire you. Mark. There's a task
- 3:16Speaker 3: list of like fifteen things. The balloons were the first thing.
- 3:20Speaker 3: And if you haven't done anything else, this party is
- 3:23Speaker 3: like to be ruined.
- 3:24Speaker 4: I can do it all the way like they look
- 3:26Speaker 4: really good, but then I take my mouth away and
- 3:28Speaker 4: then I like it shrinks.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Okay, so it is it the blowing them up that's
- 3:33Speaker 3: the problem, or is it like tying them in time?
- 3:36Speaker 1: Like tie to tie these?
- 3:40Speaker 3: What do you think, Mark? How do you think they
- 3:41Speaker 3: hold the air closed?
- 3:43Speaker 5: Thought?
- 3:43Speaker 1: I thought they close themselves. No, it popped on me.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Oh my god, this is my life disappointing you. I
- 3:55Speaker 3: literally don't know you. I just assume, good of your emails,
- 4:00Speaker 3: you would know how to do this.
- 4:01Speaker 5: Don't assume that I'm a loser.
- 4:07Speaker 4: Mark.
