• 1:48
  Speaker 1: on a Gin and tonic. Oh, sipping my go to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and I was like, why have I not made one
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: in so long? It's because my refrigerator hasn't worked in
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: so long?
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Correct, that's why? Because I was like, oh the ice,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Because I now have working rich it is really hot
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: in my apartment right now, and it's a Friday as
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: we're recording this, and I was like, you know what
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I've been missing the old G.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: And T old G and T. Yes, as they call it, as.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Well as they should. For now, we are not sponsored
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: by anything that we mentioned. Uh, we are sponsored by things,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: but none of none of the things that we're mentioning.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: At this point, I am sticking to my bubbly water
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: because I am frustrated with what is happening behind the curtains.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Y'all just kidding, But yes, I am drinking my bubby water.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Strawberry flavored.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, because you're taking care of the pine apple.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I am like milking it essentially, like just gently using it.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: You're welcome, yes, if you are also part taking of things.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Whatever you are doing, do it responsibly and in good
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: help and in good consciousness. I feel like what you
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: could add that to there? You know, just because it's
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, we should add good consciousness to everything, right, Yeah, yeah, sure. Anyway, Yes,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: we are on I believe episode fifteen of season two,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: and the title of it is Shortcomings. But before we
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: get to there, Annie, can you give us a refresher
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: of what has been happening just in season two? Won't
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: go make you go all the way back?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, These would get comically longer and longer.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: It's still very vague, just like random facts. I will say,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of starting at the midpoint because I feel
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: like that the season started with a breakup, and then
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: in mid season we had another breakup. Carrie and Mister
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Big broke up, Steve and Miranda broke up. Charlotte continues
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: today people who seem to last only one episode in
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: her search for the one. In our previous episode, we
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: talked a lot about buddies and that resulted in a
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: breakup as well. So a lot of breakups happening, as always,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: so much discussion about dating, an awkwardness, and just how
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: strange relationships can be. And there was a cameo by
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Jon Bon Jovie.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: That's the end.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Oh she did not know y'all know? Okay, Well, as
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: we mentioned before, this episode is titled Shortcomings. Do give
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: us a what you think this episode is about?
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: So, as I said, I had, I feel like I
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: had kind of a breakthrough. And how I understand these titles.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I I wonder if it's going to be something about
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: dating someone short dating someone who organ aasms really quickly.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know, shortcomings.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: See if it's only it only makes sense to me
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: after in hindsight.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what that's all I got. That's it.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, well we'll see.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: We will. I guess we will.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: All Right, here we go from Miranda.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: It was family hour at her gym.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Children running around within a weight room.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's not smart, not so smart? And do gyms
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: do this? Do they have?
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I know, like the La Fitness
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: that I go to, not a sponsored don't not a
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: great company, don't don't mind me, but they're cheap. They
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: have a whole little like children's area, so that's closed off,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: and unemployee works there sometimes to babysit. Complimentary babysitting.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's nice. Not the running about, right, it
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: doesn't seem right.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Also, the one thing that Sex and the City does
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: is make you not want to have children.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: That's true. There have been several episodes around that, Actually.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: We've got this Brady kid who touches all the buttons.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean when it was coming out, I'm
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: sure it was kind of revolutionary that here are these
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: four women that were like, yeah, no, I don't want
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: kids in the thirties.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Not sure, Oh yeah, because.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I guess they did have kids eventually, but it wasn't
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: You know, and I know a lot of people for
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: them dating a single parent. It's difficult.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: That's a definitely big question about whether or not is
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: something that you would want to do or you're equipped
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: to do, because that comes with typically stepparents or baby mama's,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: daddy's baby daddy's all those things, and then extra in
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: laws that you might have to deal with.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and I think we've had people right in
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: on the other side of like I have jump finding
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: someone to.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Date as Yeah, so such a hard thing. It's a
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: hard line.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: His name was Roger Cobb, and it only took him
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: another floor and a half to ask Miranda for her
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: phone number.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Oh but here we go Miranda's it's not a no
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: for Miranda. Here, where's one?
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I think, round up all the divorce men and keep
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: them in a pound.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Well, they are not fans of tools, are here divorces
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: meaning has a problem.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Like my brother Wesley, he's just separated from his wife, Leslie, and.

  Speaker 2: we got the date with a single parent. I dated
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: a man once. Her word ladies lingerie.

  Speaker 3: That was kind of the problem there.

• 10:12
  Speaker 2: what kids say you're sorry? Is allowed to hit people
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: with a giant stick? I know, like that, he's acting
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: like it's so normal. Do you say you're sorry? Also,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: that sounds like a heart smack and she seems okay.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean within a hour the situation could change.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Also, this kid is now roaming around Central Park no supervision.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: The social services worker here is like dying so concerned.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Right now. Murders have happened there, sir murder, someone.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Seduced with dim lights and soft music, laugh in seduced
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: with chocolate chip cookies and relatives. It was inevitable this
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: would happen. I just didn't know it would happen so quickly.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: You're not wrong, Annie, you score pretty high on this one.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Good job, Yay, I'm learning you are.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I didn't think because your your mindset doesn't typically go sexual,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: I know, even with this, so I didn't think you
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: would get that.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: To be honest, well, I have read a lot of
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the fictions, and we spent the whole day with his family.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: The guy cannot get his Cadillac into the garage.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Honey, I'm sorry.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I Cadillac into the garage. That's such an aged expression.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: I've never heard that my life.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I've heard like automobiles in general. But I feel like
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the the brand and or the type dates you so
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: now that it should be like Tesla. Right.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, do Testas even go in garages?
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I would hope. So they get damaged a lot from
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: what I see on TikTok because people don't like Tesla,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: so they scratch them off and seems.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Oh wow, when you date someone, how many people become
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: emotionally involved? When you sleep with someone?
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Are you screwing the family?
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: When you screw a person, do you screw their family? Right?
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I mean I've had so many friends who have put
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: off breaking up with someone because they love their family.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, people attached to my family. So my younger brother,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: who's a little bit older than me, every time he
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: broke up with someone, the girls would be so upset
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: because they loved my parents. We had several that were
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: really attached to my parents. I will say my current
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: partner's family is wonderful, love them and I love spending
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: time with them, So I'm like it would be like
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: it would be sad because I would be like, oh,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: I would want to remain friends, but you couldn't.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's also kind of odd because it's I overheard
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: one of my exes, not overheard, she's kind of said
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: it near me. It wasn't like I was like eaves dropping,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: but she was talking about how much she liked one
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: of my exes exes, And so I have hope that
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: it's not like they're talking trash about me, because I
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: did like them too, right, But it's also just sort
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: of the wave the way the cookie crumbles.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: That's the way, because like that would be a big
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: key of like, I don't want them to think bad
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: of me.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Right, it is sad and it does suck, but I'm
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: hoping that they would at least not be Why are
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: they trashing?
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I have your son slinky embedded in
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: my back. So I think this is like the third
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: date role for them, the third day to have sex.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, because obviously for a show that's only thirty
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: minutes long, you got to get it in there. Samantha
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: the City come on, but Catlin needs to get into
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: the garage. And as they say, locking over the doors,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: it's important.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I was ping and I didn't want him to see me.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I was afraid he'd see me, and the next thing
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: you know, he'd be drawing pictures for a child psychologist.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: And then nobody's happy. Right, I get a band aid.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: He's hurt.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I think he might need a stitch.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I'll go with you to the emergency room.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: No, nope, just go please.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: It is this would be like an interesting twist if
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: you see it from his point of view and she's
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: like the evil woman trying to steal his dad or
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: something that we often see that's.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Also mean and never smiles on him.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: That is so sexy. You in bed with my book?
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: I think this is just me Like, as we have
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: a book coming out, having someone read it in front
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: of me would make me nervous.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, I couldn't handle it. Yeah, I'd be like I've
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: got to leave now.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Even if it was my place, I'd be like goodbye.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Like for him, it's sexy.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: For me, it's like that, don't tell me, never speak
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: to me again.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: Why is he so edgy?
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: I have no idea.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: Don't let him pull that moody.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: I know it's such a pose.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: The minute he got publish, she sudden of these quote
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: tortured artists.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: There's green geese.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: It's out there now.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Now I'm wondering if my family's ever had a conversation
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: like this, the thing when I've.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Dated, I'll have a conversations about my partner with his family,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: for sure. So yeah, I've had that, But it's all
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: like jesting, like it was legitimately.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Like affectionate kind of yeah.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so your sex life isn't so great, sowhat Seventy
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: seven percent of all marriages are sexless.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Other things are so much more important.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Seventy seven that's really I don't think lateties.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's well.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, in late nineties, not marriage was not ideal necessarily,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: like it kind of was back into that old traditional
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: ideal of married and women and well, and that was
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: the prime time for all the jokes with the in
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: the men the that come and how they they never
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: get sex.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: It's true, but I feel like sexless IMPLI is like
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: there's never any sex. Maybe there's like not a lot
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: of sex, but I feel like for a lot of
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: marriages that sex is something you want in it, or
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: at least one partner wants in it.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: I feel like seventy seven percent.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: That's really high.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: That's yeah.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: There are days you love them and others you don't.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: But in the end, they're the people you always come
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: home to. Sometimes it's the family you're born into, and
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: sometimes it's the one you make for yourself.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, you're chosen family. I do love that. But
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: they this dynamic which has been kind of shattered obviously,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: but the four of them are best friends and choose
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: each other and see each other as often. I always
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: love that. The camaderie.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then it.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Ends with that note just makes me happy.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's definitely. I think that the heart and the
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: highlight of the show.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, okay, Annie, I will give you a B plus
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: for this episode. I'm not giving you an A because
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: you just you cocked out on the rest of the
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: cast and crew. But yes, you hit better than I
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: thought you would, so today you get a B plus. Congratulations.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: I'm going to print a certificate.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Shortcomings will be written on it.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: It'll be fantastic.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Are you really proud of that? Do you really want
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: that to be known.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: I am.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: So this. I always laugh at about this episode because
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: of the whole boyfriend and the parents and the family thing,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: because it is it's fairly relatable and how much they
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: love Carrie and then how dismissive they are of this son.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and it's like I feel like that's a
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: dynamic many of us have experienced where you become like
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the new girlfriend and it's sort of the they want
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: it to work out, and they're kind of putting on
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: their like no, we can, we can talk about it,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: or don't let him get don't let him do this,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: and don't let it like they're trying. It's like they're
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: almost interviewing. It's almost like a job interview or something
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: where they're like, no, it's great, he's great, he's great,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: but don't let this, don't let this, don't right.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Right, let me tell you do this, do this. Yeah,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: but I mean it's important to have that relationship. It
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: would be nice to have. Not everyone has it. Obviously,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: we know that whole stereotype as well. But yeah, good
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: job Annie.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: I'm graduating. I'm kind of basking in like pride right now.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: You should be thank you.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: I'm proud of you.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Yes, we'll see if you can keep.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: This streak up in all fifty of episodes of the season.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Just kidding.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: That would be like a huge scandal if it it
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: turned out that you found out I was cheating, Like
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: the pressure gets to be too.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: To be fair, I probably would if it was turned around,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: because you know, I'm also this person by knees a
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: heads up on things. Yeah, I love spoilers. I've said
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: this before, like one of the things right now that's
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: happening on TikTok for my K dramas, because there's some
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: really just most of the K dramas have like at
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: least a small subplot that's fairly tragic. It doesn't matter
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: if it's a romance or not, like kidnappings and depths
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: and all these things. I'm like, oh my god, so
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: TikTok has been doing. People will put up like different
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: scenes in different like parts and give you an update.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I love this, so I can choose and
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: know if I want to watch it or not by
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: watching these little parts, even though it's spoilers for most people.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: But yeah, so that probably would gie a little bit,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: especially knowing these episodes are so awkward sometimes.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Right right, right right. Yeah, Well, good to know.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you my truth. I am.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: I'm here for you, and I accept your truth.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, we didn't see Charlotte in a relationship on this one.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: She was just trying to fix her brother.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that's sort of that's an interesting
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: at least for me, it was interesting to see because
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: I've never I have never had brothers. I have two
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: brothers date within my friend group. They've dated people who
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: are sort of like on my outer for a free
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: because we're four years apart both ways. I have had
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: opinions about people the dating, but mostly I've kept them
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: to myself because mostly if there was something really harmful
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: going on, I would say something, but just kind of
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: that like protective sister bit where you're not really listening
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: to the brother and kind of projecting your own beliefs
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: and thoughts and fears onto someone else without taking into
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: account what they want. Because Charlotte does want this like marriage,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: and she does want like this, you know, kind of
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: quote traditional fairy tale family wedding, and so when it
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: wasn't working for a brother, she kept being like, no,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: you got to fix it, you got to fix it
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: and hurting her friend in the process because it was
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: really more of just her and I feel like I've
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: never done something like this, but I am very protective
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: of my brothers, so I can kind of see it
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: where you're just so like, yeah, oh no.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: You're gonna get hurt. But sometimes that becomes about you.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do the opposite. I always was more worried about
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: the girls that they would date. That's than I was
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: about my brother.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: That's fair too, because they.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Would tell me, like the younger one would tell me
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: things that I'm like, why are you telling me this?
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm, in like how they treat girls. Sometimes I'm like,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: you're awful, why are you doing?
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, my brother's never told me that.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: But if they, if they had been like because I
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: like most everyone they've dated, I've liked, so I would
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: never be throwing them under the bus or something, right.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I mean again, I think he was showing off.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Oh so it.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Wasn't necessarily all true, And I don't know why he
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: would try to brag things to me. I'm not sure
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: if it was a shock factor or whatever, but I'm like,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: why would you say this?
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's weird, it is, it's strange, and that's sort
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: of the what we were talking about too, with the
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: you know, when you meet the family, it can be
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: odd to know and it sounds so cold, but it
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: can be odd to think in the back of your head,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: like I wonder how.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Long will this person be around?
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: You're like, you know, trying to be polite, and you know,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: like genuinely I would try to just talk with them,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: get to know them a little, but not too much,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: because I feel like you can come on too hard,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: and I'm kind of like, I if you want to
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: talk to me, we can, But otherwise I'm good.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: That happened with a chunk of people that be my
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: because again, my sister started bringing home boys at sixteen fifteen,
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: my brother started bringing home girls seventeen, and then my
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: other brother fifteen. So girls and men would come through,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: not young boys, and they were very cute, but I'm like,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: I don't care about you.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see how.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Married. And I'm like, okay, cool, all right, But then
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: they crossed the lot. I'm like, yeah, don't want to talk.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: To you, right, yeah. Yeah.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: It's an odd experience of just it's it's stressful too,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: like being the new person meeting the family of.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: To make a good impression. Am I going to ruin
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: it all right here right now?
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Oh? It was. I felt like that's a big deal
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: because I held off for a very long time for
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: my partner to meet my family and need to meet
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: his family, like three years. I think part of that
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: was due to COVID uh so we didn't go travel anywhere,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: so that was a couple of years into that. But like, yeah,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I because I did, because my family does get attached
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: two people, and I was like, no, I'm not if
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: this doesn't last, I do don't want to hear where's
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: so and so? How is how are they doing? Which
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: happens with just friends that they met one time.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I'm like, why my mom still asked about my exes?
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: And it it corrects if you like, I don't know,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I know that's not anymore.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know, don't exist to me, don't ask me.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I also want to say too that
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I do think Carrie tried to talk once again. She
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: tried to have a conversation about a thing, and he
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: shut it down so quickly, and you know, you can
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: kind of understand why, given his his family, But it
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: was sort of like that. I feel like I've encountered
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: that too with men of this like extreme defensiveness, which
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of it is, like socialization and stuff around
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: any perceived not great, I don't know, not being great
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: in bed or something like won't even hear it, won't
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: talk about it.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: So I thought that was interesting.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: And what happens if you don't talk about your mom
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: is involved?
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: No, yep, yep, yep.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Well we're moving right along, everybody, We're moving right along.
