  Speaker 1: It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: with us inside the treehouse. I'm Dan, O'Malley and he
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: is Trey Trendholm. Trey. What do you have in store
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: for us today?
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: You know, Daniel, some thought provoking questions regarding relationships and such.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: But first, Happy New Year, Happy New Year to you,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: How is your How was your New Year's Eve?
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: We did not make it to midnight, and I'm okay
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: with that. I am at the age now where that's
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: totally fine. And it wasn't even playing for us to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: make it to midnight. Our favorite restaurant had had an
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: opening for two at five thirty in the afternoon, and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: we said that sounds good. So we did that and
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: we were in bed before ten. So it went very
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: very well. How about you?
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I made it to midnight, Brandy barely did it. I
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: kind of had a nudgeer rope awake. But we had
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: a lovely you know. We went to uh went to
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: the Stars game. They did not.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Did not play well, but it was still fun.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: And then I made a big batch of chili and
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: uh we were home. I had probably ten thirty and
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: uh and thank god because then I saw the videos
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: of downtown Dallas. I had forgotten that people just park
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: on the interstates and everything to watch the fireworks, which
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: in the videos I saw Bravo Dallas that they did
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: it one hell of a fireworks show.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they've really gone balls out.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Well, and the drones that everyone is using now really
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: makes it all the more impressive.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I had this thought the other day. So there was
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: this crazy drone show in Las Vegas, coinciding with the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: finale of Stranger Things, and I couldn't help but think,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: just imagine if you could go back in time with
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: just the drone show for Stranger Things and put that
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: in the skies over a small town in the United
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: States circa nineteen eighty five, get people's reactions, Oh my god,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: especially because one of these scenes in the drone show
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: is sort of that red void hortal that's opening up
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: with vekna coming through, and this is all drones and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I'm getting chills just thinking about it. But then I'm
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: just imagining what that would look like over a typical
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Midwest town in nineteen eighty five, with no knowledge of
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: drones or anything. People would lose their goddamn minds.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Oh it would be I mean podium.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: You know, I remember when when Reagan you know, had
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: that hot mic episode, you know, because the presidents used
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: to do a weekly radio address. Uh and you know
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I forgot exactly what he said a basis said, you know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: the Soviets are attacking where it wore something like that,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and you know people flipped out. Uh So yeah, if
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: you put actual something they could see.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Oh and again.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Hard to imagine for most people that you're going to
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: a time where there was no internet. You had three
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: television stations and yeah, people would wig the fuck out.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And and in your home, your standard homes, you
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: were lucky if you got a couple of UHF channels.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Forget cable the other I mean, cable was barely a thing,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: especially if you're in rural uh you know, in the country.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Uh, your best option.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Hell, they didn't get cable most places till in the
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: two thousands. I mean you either had you had one
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: of the in the eighties, you had one of those
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: gigantic you know, eight foot satellite dishes that you needed
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: a doctor doctorate to you know, figure out how to
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: use because you actually had to know you know, the
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: different angles and where satellites were and everything else then
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: you know direct TV came along.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, those are the white monoliths of the country side.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: And I think you and I know about that all
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: too well, because while we mainly grew up in the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Dallas area, we both spent a good chunks. We both
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: spent good chunks of our childhood in rural air. Is
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you Leonard Texas me technically in between two rural towns,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: so like I was in between Bartlesville, Oklahoma and no Wada, Oklahoma.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: So yeah, if you showed that in the sky over over,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: oh god it no, everyone would have freaked out and
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: it would have been like I said, it would have.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: It definitely would have been pandemonium, which is part of
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the reason why I wish I could go back in
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: time with that drone joke and do it, just to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: see the havoc that it would cause.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: And by the way, I have not you have you
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: seen the final episode of Stranger Things?
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, I I have not watched it yet,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: so no spoilers.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Really, Tara Trey hasn't seen the finale yet A Stranger Things,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Oh you just got the she just did the face
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: so well.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Brandy has not watched any of them.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: So it's oh, uh.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Like she had like she's never seen an episode of
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Stranger Things.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is very interesting.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's so.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Are you then going to start over with season one
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: with with the new girlfriend and watch all of them
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: culminating into a season five and somehow avoid spoilers in
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: that time?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I'm going to.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Much like you are with Tara. I am not going
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: to force her to watch anything. She's always been open.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: She's like, I'll give it a shot. So, after watching
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: the last season up to the final episode, which I
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: think has been fantastic, I so far one of the
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: best final seasons of TV. I think I've seen, I'm gonna,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: you know, let her. I would like to go back
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: and actually watch it again because I feel like there's
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: a lot of stuff I've forgotten from the first two
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: seasons especially. Yeah, so I'm gonna give it a shot
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: and see if she's interested.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: And if she is, then yeah, we'll watch it.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: If not, uh, she's a you know, and it's my
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: fault I did this that this is.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I can't even I'll save this for another show, make
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: a note of it.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the Treehouse The Treehouse Show podcast will have
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: a meeting you know what from trade.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: We'll save this subject for the regular show because it's
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: it's something I will I did on I just almost
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: as a joke, and it's now come back to really
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: be a pain in my ass.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Kind of like the pegging jokes for me in twenty
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: twenty five.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: You know, this one's almost worse. And I guess there's
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: a tease for the for the regular show.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, I cannot wait. You need to catch that show,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: which will drop on Tuesday. Be sure to find and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: follow the Treehouse Show podcast everywhere you get your podcasts,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: including Spotify, iHeart, and of course Apple podcasts. All right,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: let's jump into the meat of this show today. What
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: do you got Trey?
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: All right, We're gonna start off with I found a
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: very interesting question. Would I be the asshole for refusing
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: to meet my ex fiancee who left me at the
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: altar even though he's dying and says he needs closure.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Four years ago, I was supposed to get married.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: I was in my dress ready to walk down the
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: aisle when my fiance's best man told me he was gone.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: He got in the car and left without a word,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: and I never heard from him again.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I was destroyed. I went to.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Therapy for years to deal with trust issues and humiliation.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: I'd explained everyone why the wedding didn't happen, Return gifts,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: cancel vendors.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I'll blah blah blah.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Finally, FIELD have an amazing boyfriend who helped me to
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: learn to trust again. I built a new life, and
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Jay became a distant, painful memory. I never wanted to visit.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Last week, a mutual friend gave Jay my number without
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: asking me. He texted me saying he needs to see
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: me because he has a lot to explain.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I ignored it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Then he texted again, saying he's been diagnosed with terminal
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: cancer and he doesn't have much time left. He said
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: he needs to apologize and get closure before he dies.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: He said it would mean everything to him if he
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: could have one hour. I said no, told him I
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: spent four years healing from what he did. I didn't
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: know him anything, So I hope he finds peace, but
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: I can't.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Be a part of that.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Wished him well and blocked his number. Am I the
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: asshole refusing to meet with him even though he might
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: die without getting to apologize.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: No, this is an important lesson. We all need to
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: learn in our lives, no matter short or long they
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: might be, there are consequences to your actions. I applaud
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: if genuine. I applaud his ffforts to reconnect, to try
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to make good as much as possible on what he
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: did to her those many years ago. But I'm hoping
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: that he respects her wishes in that scenario because ball's
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: totally in her court there. He has to live or
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: die with whatever she decides. And I think it's totally
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: fine for what he did to her. I think it's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: totally fine for her to protect her piece that she
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: has worked so hard for. She doesn't owe him anything.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And just because you're dying, that doesn't mean people owe
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: you something. I'm going to say that again, not just
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: for the living, but for those who are dead that
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: are still expecting something in their grave. Just because you're
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: dying doesn't mean people owe you shit.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I would love to take a counterpoint on this one,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: but it's really hard. I mean, you know, there, I listen,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I did some you know, I've I have learned to
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: make peace with that as a recovering alcoholic, and I
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: didn't said things that I deeply regret that there you
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: know you can't take.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Back and then and that's just the way it is. Uh.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: And uh, you know I would.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Have you know, I would have loved to have been
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: able to make amends with Russ. I tried, but you know,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I and I you know, as I said, I wrote
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: him a letter and I made my amends. And I said, well,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: I don't regret the overall context of what I said.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: I regret the manner in which I said it.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: It was disrespectful. Yeah, and then to.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Be to be fair, that's yeah. And and to be
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: fair disrespectful is the language he understood best.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: So that's that's why, that's why it cut him so deep,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: if we're being honest. So you did exactly with your situation.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: You did exactly what I would recommend to this dying
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: man as he's trying to make amends to his ex.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: She says, no, then, by God, write a letter, give
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: it to someone third party that can give it to
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: her at some point if they choose that way. His
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: feelings are purged onto paper and she may or may
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: not ever read those words, but at least he's purged
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: them from his body in some way, and it may
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: be the only way he gets to it. The other
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: option is sit down in front of a microphone and
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: record I'm dying podcasts and see if she eventually listens
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: to it.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, and it's a it's an excellent lesson of Also,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: you think about your actions because there are some things
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: you cannot take back and try to avoid doing those things.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's especially difficult when you're young. You don't
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: think about consequences on a large scale. So like when
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: you're young, you're aware of consequences. You're aware that certain
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: things you do have you know, it's like the for
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: every action equal and opposite reaction, right, everything you do
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: will have some type of consequence. Could be good, could
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: be bad, don't know. But usually when we're young, when
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: we consider consequences, it's in a very short timeline. But
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the older we get, we start thinking in longer timelines
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: and bigger pictures when it comes to consequences. So when
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: you're fifteen, you think, if I cheat on this test,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: it would be bad because this might happen tomorrow. Whereas
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: we being middle aged men, we think back on cheating
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: on a test when we're fifteen could have implications reaching
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: far beyond the next day. It may not be if
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: you get caught detention, and that's bad. It could be
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: a permanent negative mark on your record that keeps you
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: from getting into the college you wanted. Yeah, I mean,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: and that can completely change, you know, trajectory of your
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: life type of stuff. That's kind of what I'm getting at.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: So when you're young, you make a dumb decision, you're
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: only thinking about in the moment or the very brief future.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: The older you get, you start thinking bigger term and
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: you start thinking, you know what, maybe I shouldn't cut
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: this corner here because it could have a major effect
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: far down the line.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: That is very true.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, when you're young, you don't think about at
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: least I didn't really think about the future.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: You don't think. Hell, you barely think the next day,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: you know what.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: You're right, Yeah, the consequence thing when you're a kid,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: if you even think about it at all, it's very short.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: But you're right, I think, for the most part, and
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I did the same thing. I didn't think about, you know,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the total consequences. I was like, man, I'm living in
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the moment and I didn't even know what that was
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: back then.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: All right, Well, that leads me to this next question,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: and it's kind of uh spin off but thought provoking.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: What's a bitter life lesson you learned from your longest
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: or from a failed relationship? All right, say it again,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: what's a bitter life lesson learned from? Like you're from
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: a significant relationship that failed?
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Oh man, how much time do we have? I feel
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: like I just got thrown into the middle of a
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: World War two landmine. Accountability, I think.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I think accountability in any relationship, whether it's you know, romantic, platonic,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: business life, whatever, accountability I think is is something that
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: some people take too much of and then others don't
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: take enough of. So I think accountability is a big
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: part of it. So like in failures of the past,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I definitely take my fair share of accountability on those things.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: And the good thing about that is is you try
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: to learn from it, and then there's the people that
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: don't and they just go along thinking like ah, you suck.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: It's like, well, okay, what about you?
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: I think the the biggest lesson I think I learned
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: is just because you love somebody does not mean you
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: are compatible and you can make it work. Like That's
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: I think, And I think that's definitely something that.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Comes with maturing.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: And I say that because I'm sure there are a
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: lot of people who learned that early on. One of
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: the things about alcoholism is, you know, they say you
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: quit mature when you start drinking, And I look back
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: at my life, and you know, there are a lot
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: of ways when I quit drinking at forty two, I
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: acted like I was eighteen. But you know that is Yeah,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: you can love someone to death, but that does not
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: mean that you can make it in a relationship, because yeah,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: you can still be really toxic for each other.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's very true. Uh, And I think I think
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: that's a big part of it as well. I think
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I think I think the first step is just being
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: able to actually analyze those situations to that degree. That's
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: a huge step forward, because that's kind of like I
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: was saying with with mine accountability or the lack thereof.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: There are some people that will just chalk it up to, oh,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: he's a turd, and they won't stop to ever you know,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: look in the mirror. Yeah, and there's nothing you can
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: do about that. And if they're not going to do it,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: you can't force them.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Well, I look back, it's something my grandfather said, and
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: he wasn't. Yeah, it's not like he.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Was the first person to ever say this, but it was.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: It was such profound advice, and especially now that you
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: know a healthy, happy relationship. But you know, he said,
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: if it's if it's hard in the beginning, is that's
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: the honeymoon phase. If if it's difficult, then it just
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: gets worse. Yeah, and you know that that was.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: True.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, along those lines. A good metaphor for that, what
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: your grandfather said is is like a roller coaster, right,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: and more specifically the big fun roller coasters of the
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: modern era.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: They start out super high. You're on the very top,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: and things are good. It's beautiful up there, and you
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: know the track below is gonna have twists and turns
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: and ups and downs. But if you look at that
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: roller coaster, it's it's very rare that those roller coasters
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: ever go higher than that starting point.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Mhmm.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: It's all downhill from there. It has a few you know,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: ticks up here, some loops here, and a twist and
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: a turn and some zero G stuff where you think
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: your body's about to leave the planet, but then it
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: comes crashing back down. And so when you look at it.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Look at it like the skyline or the profile of
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: a roller coaster. You can always tell the beginning of
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: it because it's not highest spot. That's a relationship.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Sometimes you get stuck at the top of the
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: loop and you're just hanging on for dear.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Life and hoping the fire department shows up to rescue you,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: typically upside down.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: And finally the little bring a little levity to this,
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: I had. This is when I have never I've heard
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: some weird things, but I had never heard.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Of this one. Oh good.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: My husband designates a left and right sock like I
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: don't understand this. After watching his socks, he spends an
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: hour separating the left and right foot socks and then
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: matches them together. If one is missing, he gets upset,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: say he ends up with two left feet. I say
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: this is weird and no one does this, and that
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: he should just buy new socks and wear them like
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: a normal person. He looks at me like I'm crazy.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: He swears this has to be done because socks naturally
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: wear the shape of your foot, so if you mix
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: them up, you end up with an extra space in
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: that sock. Does anyone else do this?
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: relate to this man on some level. No, and hang on,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: despite this seeming like a very surface level question, there's
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: a lot to unpack here. First of all, I kind
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: of do this. I do not separate left sock, right
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: sock when it comes out of the laundry. I'll just
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I'll match the socks. If it's the same one they
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: go together, next one same, they match, go together. I'm
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: not doing left right, but when I pull the socks
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: out to then wear them, I will look at the
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: contour of the sock to see if one is the
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: left and one is the right from usage, and if
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I can, I will put them on accordingly. I Am
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: not going to spend an hour matching up left right,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: left right as it comes out of the laundry. So
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I'm like fifty percent of this guy.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: How much analysis do do you do?
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, does it have to be obvious or do
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: we really lay them out on my bed and really
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: look at the contour of the sock.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: So this happened just two days ago, so I'll tell
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: you exactly what happened. Pulled the socks out. They're in
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the bunch right, Then I pulled them out of the bunch.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Then I put them on my thigh and like, okay.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Then I look at the left one first and see
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: is this the left or the right? Can I tell?
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: I couldn't tell, So I was like, okay, I'll put
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: that one down, let me grab the other one. I
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: grabbed the other one, and I was like, that's clearly
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: the right one. So I go back to the left
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: and I'm looking at it shape and I was like,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: you know, this one could go either way whatever. I know,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: the right one is the right one. This one's just
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: gonna go on the left, and it is what it is.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: That's where it stopped for me. And it took all
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: of twenty seconds. That's as far as I'll go with that.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: So again, I kind of understand where this guy is
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: coming from. I'm not to that extreme, but I get it.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I'd like to point this out because I said, there's
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: a lot under the surface here that you're just taking
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: it as a Oh, this is a silly sock.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: If this is the biggest complaint this woman has about
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: her man, she needs to consider herself lucky.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: I have at time believing this would be the biggest
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: complaint if he's this, if he's this problematic of socks.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Well, this is my thing. If this is not the
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: biggest problem, then why is she posting about it online?
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Post about the serious stuff? Right If she's posting about
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: it online? To me, this is the most serious or
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: weirdest thing that she feels like she has to put
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: up with. And it's not that bad. It could it
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: be a little weird, sure, but you know what, let
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the man be weird about his socks or I tell
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: you what, do this anytime someone does something that you
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: don't understand why they do it, and you just start
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: making wild assumptions or talking about him to your friend
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: group or your parents, and you know, making fun of them,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: teasing them, basically ask him why. Maybe he's got a
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: reason for it in his mind. It makes sense.
• 24:05
