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