  Speaker 1: in the wedding, right.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: He's in the wedding. It's his best friend's wedding. He
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: is a groomsman. Yeah, he's not the best man, but
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: he's a groomsman. And it's overseas. He's got a wife
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: and two kids. The whole family's invited to this wedding overseas. Right,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: he tells his wife, Listen, I'm going to go solo.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Part of the reason is it's expensive, but he said
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: one of the main reasons is these are my best friends.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I just want to do a guy's thing for a
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: few days. He says, he's the sole earner in the family,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: doesn't get to party, goes to work, comes home, simply
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: wants to reconnect with his real friends. He had a
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: boy's trip about three years ago and his wife was
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: not upset, but when it comes to the wedding, she's upset.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: She wants them all to be able to go, and
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: he's saying.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, where's he going to a like the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: bachelor party or a wedding, because it sounds like he's
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: making it more like a I know it's a party,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: it's a wedding. This is true, yeah, but he's making
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: it sound like you know, I don't know.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Well, when you're in the wedding, you've got to do
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: the rehearsal, dinner, to do everything. Well, I know, so
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: you're spending a little more time, You're getting a little
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: more bonding time and with the other groomsman. I guess
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: those he said are his best friends.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: And she's not cool with it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: She is not cool with it at all. She's really upset.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it could be like you mentioned, I mean,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: that's a lot of money too. That is a lot
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: of to bring the whole family right to a destination
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: wedding overseas.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Especially with young kids. They're only seven and four, right, that.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Is a lot.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not really siding with the wife.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not because if I put myself in this situation
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: and my husband Ryan came to me and said, hey,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: can I can I go? Because he did ask his wife,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: I don't think he told her. He asked her, and
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: I'd say, listen, if you're going to go for four
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: or five days and you want to be with your buddies,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: sure go ahead, especially if it's expensive. I don't know.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Maybe I'm just that type of person. And as a mom,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: if I put myself in those shoes, I know I
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: would want some me time with my friends.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Right, But you don't want them to have too much fun. Well, no,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you're not going for a week, right, Treat it like
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a business trip. Maybe if you're the wife, are you
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: thinking that or are you just mad because you're you're technically.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Invited, but because she's invited and he's trying to go
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: and nope.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: No, I want to make it a guy weekend. Uh Yeah,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Which I don't know. That's kind of a heads graduate
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to make.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Seeing it both ways. Because you recently had a destination.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Wedding, Yeah, my wife had a good friend that got
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: married in Italy.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: And it was so beautiful. Oh, the pictures were a dream.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: It was a castle.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: We were very lucky to be able to go, so
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: we took the whole family. We made a whole thing
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: So I'm just thinking if the shoe were on the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: other foot. Just say you were invited to that wedding
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and you were like, hey, Coco's you guys aren't going,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: It's just me. Oh and then she saw those beautiful pictures.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'd be packing up my suitcase and not and
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: not going on the trip right leaving my house exactly,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I'd be.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: So, I know, maybe it's a place the wife wants
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: to go to, or she wants to be part of
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the celebration, or you know, this is tough.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I would feel guilty having fun knowing my family's not
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: there too.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Well, can you can you flip the script for a second.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: If that destination wedding that you went to in Italy
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: it's Coco's friend, it's your wife's friend. So if she
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: came to you and said, listen, Cobby, like I'm gonna go,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: can you stay with the kids at home, how.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Would you feel please let me go? So you do
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: agree with the wife, I.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Think you're technically siding with the wife on this.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I might be siding with the wife a little Jess,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: all right, And that little test actually made me realize
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: what I'm siding with I'm not And who's who's your side?
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I'm so I'm sorry. It's like so hard for my
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: hard because I see both sides of this. I see that, yeah,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: he wants a little time with the guys and then
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: it's not as expensive. But also I'm thinking if it
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: were me, I probably wouldn't want to feel left out
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: like I'd want to be with Eric. But it's just
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: the two of us. We don't have kids to worry about,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: so it's a little different.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: You know what he could do if she allows him
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: to go when I get back, set up a girl's
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: trip with your girls. Yeah, that's true, right, Like I said,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: as a parent, we all need our own time with
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: our friends. So compromise, guys, compromise, That's how I see it.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna buy this shirt, by the way, what's it say.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: It's the price is Right logo, but it says the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: wife is right.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: That's very you.
• 4:30
