  Speaker 1: we have a notebook where we write love notes back.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: And oh okay, I'm surprised.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: I think that, Well, you kind of have done the
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: long distance things, so mailing letters is very romantic as
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: opposed to just.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Who text?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, good.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: When we put condiments on our sandwiches or our burgers,

  Speaker 4: The That is gross.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I think it's cute. Oh you're gonna hate this.

  Speaker 1: Then literally we have a picture like framed of our
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: initials on like burger patties.

• 4:20
  Speaker 1: road driving with everything he owns to move to Fargo.

• 4:28
  Speaker 1: That's like a big victory, not just a little one.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Gabe, I had a funny joke for you, But you
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: know I don't want to ruin your little victory. I
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: was gonna say, like, what's the victory part for him?

  Speaker 1: I think he is equal parts excited for us to
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: no longer be long distance, yeah, and for you and
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: him to finally become romantic.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: I have thought of.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: So many Instagram reels with Mikey and all I can
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: hear in the background is the people.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Let me tell you about my bell.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we have to make that a video
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: for social media. You and him on your like broad date,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: going golfing, riding your bicycles, playing chess, playing guitar.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, you guys will be so cute.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm looking forward to him making it here as well,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: nice and safe and sound. Yeah, all right, my little victory.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Yesterday I took Winona, which is our dog, on a
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: walk and I knew I was playing with fire a
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: little bit, and we were able to just get the
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: walk in before it kind of started raining, or I
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: wouldn't call like a full rain, but rain enough to
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: be annoying. And right as I kind of finished our loop,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: which I was trying to do rather quickly, the rain,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: and the sprinkles started to come down right as I
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: like unlocked the truck. So we just wown because I
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: feel so bad. You know, she looks forward to well,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: at least I hope she does look forward to one
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: if every time I get home she's like, God, dang it,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I gotta call on this walk. At least I hope
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: she looks forward to that every day. So I really
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: do feel guilty and bad when she, for whatever reason
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: can't go because of the weather, right, and so I
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: always try to, you know, get at least the walk
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: in with her, and to be able to do that
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: before it started raining.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: It was a very very little victory. Yes.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Also, if you.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Ever have a little victory you want to share with us,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: we want to hear it. Tell the fm Aria your
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: little victory call us seven one two eight one nine.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: I learned something pretty interesting that I wanted to share
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: with you here this morning about money. And it's not
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: necessarily about how much you make that correlates with happiness. Now,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I would argue I have not once in my life
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: seen someone with a personal chef a Yatnajetski who's not
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: doing pretty.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Well, Not.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: One time. It definitely happens. But in my life, I
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: have not witnessed this phenomenon.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Right, I think the key to happiness is I don't care.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Right. But supposedly that's not exactly true.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: And we've all heard that people who save regularly and
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: pay off credit cards on time score significantly higher on
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: mental health assessments regardless of your income level. Well, that
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: would make total sense. You can tell when someone's a
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: little behind on a bill, and this is not an
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: insult anybody, but you can tell when someone's a little
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: behind on their bills when their phone rings and it's
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: a number they don't know, and they ignore it or
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: send it straight to voicemail.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: That's funny. Yah, you've got nothing to worry about. You
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: just hello.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: No, I never answer the phone in general, I answer
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: all of them.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: That's funny, but it is kind of funny.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: But no, you're right. You're right.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: If you're financially stressed because you're behind on something you
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: don't it's bad for.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Your mental health.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: I get that. Yeah, but it's.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Hard to save money.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: It's so hard, especially when you get behind. Once you're behind,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: it is so hard to dig yourself out of it. Yeah,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: So once you get out of it. Your goal should
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: always be to stay there for it, yea, for as
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: long as you possibly can. Now, obviously things happen, accidents, emergencies, whatever,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: So it's not like, you know, just a fail safe system, right,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: But we wanted to know in twenty twenty five, the
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: times of trying to build that financial portfolio. What are
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: some little things you are doing to save money? Seven
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven Is
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: there anything you're doing, Angie, just to cut back a
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I stopped getting avocado toast and now I have a
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: down payment for a house. No, but that's what everybody
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: two am inf Yes, that's what like that was the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: big thing is like millennials need to stop buying avocado
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: toast and they could buy a house instead, which is
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: fully not real, but I will say I have not.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: This is actually by accident, but it's worked out. I
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: when I moved here three months ago, I didn't bring
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: my coffee maker and it was a cr rig and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: you know, the pods are so expensive and so between
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that and then always going to like Starbucks to get
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: a hot SOI latte extra hot, I was spending a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: lot of money on coffee and I didn't bring my
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: coffee maker, and there's not a Starbucks as conveniently located
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: near me as there was back when I lived in Washington,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And so I've saved a lot of money by just
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: drinking instant coffee instead of Oh and also, we have
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: a coffee maker here at the station, and this is
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: really where I need the coffee the most since we're
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: up so early. So that's how I've saved some money. Now,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the caveat to that is that me saving money that
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: way just means that I spend it on clothes. Oh sure, priorities, Yeah, priority,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: So I'm not really saving so much as I'm just
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: allowing transferring where I'm spending my money.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: What about you, Gabe, Well, I'll be on one hundred
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: percent honest with you. I have done absolutely zero. I
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: am out here spending trying to stimulate this eccoonomy handedly
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: What are some things you've done to maybe and I'm
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: just kidding, what are some things you've done to maybe
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: save some money here in twenty twenty five April?
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: What about you?
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: I gave a takeout and now I cook every meal,
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: even when.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: All I have is just Rice and vibe.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I save money, but I lost a little joy.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I love it Rice and vibes.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like when you wake up and you really
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: want breakfast and you just eat air.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's saving money and Truman the Wasted Life.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, good time there. All right? What about you, John,
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: I gave.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: Up my comic book collection.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I mean I still have it, but I just stopped
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: buying new one.
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: I'll probably go back to it when I have enough
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: money saved up to actually be comfortable.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so John's not saving the time. Today's Variety, Big
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: ninety eight point seven. It's Gabe and Angie. We should
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: have a pretty nice day today. Here some sunshine and

  Speaker 1: totally meant to make it awkward.
• 11:36

• 12:39
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Have a good Sunday. I mean he
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: hit her with the double pistol shooter thumbs up.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: I think that's great.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Though it wasn't just one thumbs up. The fact that
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: it was too.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: That means right that he really loves her or he
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: just accidentally hit the button twice.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know, cheepers, what is your wife think? She
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: called me on the phone and was laughing. She was like,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: your dad is something and I was like what. And
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: when she got home she told me that what she
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: sent to him and what he responded with, and I
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: was just like, man, dad, what are we doing here?
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I respect it. The problem We have someone who wrote
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: into us and she'd like to stay anonymous. Oh all right, because.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: That is not her name.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Not her name, that's not for the purposes of this story.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: This is her name, Rachel, and she wants to be
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: anonymous because this is some juicy family drama. All right, hey, guys,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: please keep me anonymous. I need your take on some
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: family drama for your am. I the problems segment. I
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: got married young, just twenty and we had a super small,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: simple wedding. We were broke but in love and it
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: was perfect for us. My cousin helped a lot with decorations,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and I was so grateful.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I paid her, praised her in my speech the whole thing.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Now backstory. She had a massive, pinterest worthy wedding a
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: few months before mine, but she got divorced four years ago.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Ever since, she constantly makes fun of my wedding. Every
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: time we're together. She mocks how small it was, the venue,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: my bridesmaid's even my husband's family.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I usually let it slide, but.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: At a big Father's Day gathering, she started again, this
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: time in front of her new boyfriend, and I finally snapped.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I said, well, at least I'm still married. Now.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: My whole family says I went too far and hit
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: below the belt, but no one has ever said a
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: word to her about the way she talks to me.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: So am I the problem. Listen, girl, I think you
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: should just have swallowed your pride because clearly this girl
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: is going through it. Your cousin is a miserable hater
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: because she got divorced.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Just let her have it. She's never gonna find real
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: love ever again, and that's why she has to hate
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: on you.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: And as for your family like getting upset, maybe they're
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: worried that she's gonna do something drastic because her life
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: is so sad and pathetic. Jee Okay, as I'm saying this,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I feel like maybe I'm sounding a little too harsh,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: but that's the only thing I can think of. Like
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: the she said, ever since she the cousin got divorced,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: then she's been mocking the wedding and whatever. Right, she's
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: clearly just trying to feel better about herself because her
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: marriage ended up in flames.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hurt people hurt people now people hurt people. Yeah,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: so she's obviously very sad.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so she's very sad.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: So I'm not saying that you're the problem, Rachel, but
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I do think that you should cut her some slack,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: because clearly her life is in shambles. And I know
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: that she has this new boyfriend. But like the fact
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: that in front of the new boyfriend she started up
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: again about your wedding and your whatever. That clearly means
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: it's not going that great with the boyfriend, because if
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: she was secure in that relationship, she wouldn't be trying
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: to hate on yours.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Rachel, you have a lot more patience than I have.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: That they would have taken one comment, just.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: What one, and I let them. I let it rip.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: So I gotta let I gotta give Rachel a little
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: praise for hanging on for so long without letting it rock.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: I think you could have let that rock after one comment. Literally,
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: you should have read in deeper, much less divers You
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: should have started insulting this gentleman, saying how he had
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: hooked up with your friend.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: You're cutting like.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: This this friend of yours who helped decorate or is
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: it a cousin, sorry, cousin cousin who helped decorate. I
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: would have went in and just started making up the
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: things that weren't true because her people hurt people, and
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: she would have hurt my feelings.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, I feel like we can always count on you
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: to just like double down and be worse. I think
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Rachel should just like lay back and not like say anything,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: because clearly cousin Nica has a problem.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: The real advice is you just know that she's in
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: a bad way right now, m and you just sit
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: back and smile. You know, you just lean back and
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: know that. I assume you're happy with your life. She's
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: very sad. If you actually don't get along, just let
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: her be, you know, still saying let the sleeping dog lie, Yeah,
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: like be over there.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: But I will say this, Rachel.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: The next time she comes at you for like how
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: your wedding was decorated, remind her, girl, you're the one
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: who did it.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: You're the one who decorated. If it looks bad, you're
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: clowning yourself.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: That's so true, all right?
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: how would you handle this situation if you were our
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: anonymous person we've named Rachel the cousin's hating on the wedding.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: She'd being a jerk, and Rachel finally snapped. I don't
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: know if anyone can really blame her for that. I mean,
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: you can only poke the bear for so long.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: I'll settle for the ghost. Have you ever read a
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: go someone?
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I didn't know.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: That's when Alice going, Oh, that's great.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Justin Bieber very well, not publicly, but social media publicly
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: ended what appears to be a friendship, talking about his
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: anger issues and this person not accepting him, and YadA,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: YadA YadA.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: To be honest, it's kind of a mess with the
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: old bebes.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and wow, I'm not assuming that you had friendship
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: or ghost someone because they wouldn't accept your issues. I
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: was wondering this morning, have you ever ghosted someone?
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: And what for?
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: I've done this to one person in my life, and
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: I do forget how it all started, like most stupid arguments,
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: m hmm, but I do know how it kind of
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: ended with you. You were the ghost just not responding.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I and Casper became twit.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I have ghosted.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: So I you know what's weird is I've never ghosted
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: a dude. I don't think like a romantic interest. Sure,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I think that always feels litled out in a very
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: like he wasn't interested in me. Wait, no, I like
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: would break things off. I'm not a ghoster in that way.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: But I did have a friend and thankfully, like I've
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: moved states and so it's even easier. But my son
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: had a really close friend of his whose mom I
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: got along great with. I thought she was just wonderful,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: her lifetime friend or at least.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Someone I could stand at play dates.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, But the.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Thing is it always would come back to her trying
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: to get me to join some sort of multi level
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: marketing scheme. All sure, and I just I can't. I can't,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: I don't want to do it. I like, what are
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: you talking to me about? All the pyramid scheme? I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: never trusted anything. So it would be that we would
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: have these great conversations in person, and then we'd keep
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: it going on social media, sending memes and texting it,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: and then she would send the text, Oh, I've actually
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: been doing this and I'm wondering if maybe you're interested
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: in it, and then it was some like link to
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: a website, to a multi level marketing scheme, and it
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: happened enough times that finally I just I stopped responding,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: and then I moved away.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: So it's all worked out. You not only did you
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: ghost them, you're ghosting them from a different part of
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: the country. Exactly seven one two eight zero one nine
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: eight seven. Have you ever had to ghost someone? Why,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: what happened? Give us as many details as you're comfortable sharing.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: I also, strangely enough, I don't think I've ever ghosted
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: like a romantic interest. I think I I think I
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: just slowly like overtime text less. Oh that's called bread crumbing.
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: I think.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: Sure, I'm sure I've done that.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: But I also kind of just ghosted this guy I
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: was kind of buddies with, you know, and I don't
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: exactly remember how this all started, but I do believe
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: I said I would go to some party or something,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: and I just ended up not going.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: I you know, I probably should have been like a
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: ghost in person.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah right, I probably should have texted him and just said, hey,
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: I won't be there, YadA, YadA, YadA. So he was upset, rightfully,
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: So I was wrong. I should have told him I
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: wasn't going okay, and I apologized and said, hey, that's
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: my bad, dude, YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: And then he just wouldn't let it go.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: He just would not drop it after or you know,
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: days or whatever, just being Dave really really upset at me.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: And I was like, bro, I've apologized to you. I said,
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: I was sorry. I don't know what you want me
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: to do.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: He wanted your first born.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: And so yeah, he just kind of started going off
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: and you know, saying not anything like overly hurtful, but
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: like mean things to me. And I was just like,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: all right, dude, well that's the end of that. Like
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: you're not my lifelong but friend this is easy to say.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Peace.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. And this was where when you lived
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota. Yeah, oh yeah, and he's still in Minnesota.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: I believe.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: Okay, so I don't.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Know you've also ghosted and then moved.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: That's that's right, that's.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: The emo of GABANANGI. We'll ghost you and then flat
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: out move away.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Uh, Courtney, have you ever ghosted someone or just kind
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: of ended a friendship?
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: Honestly, it was just a combination of feeling drained by
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: constant negativity and realizing our lives we're just moving in
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: different directions. I didn't know how to address it, so
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: I just stopped responding. It wasn't my proudest moment. But
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: sometimes avoiding conflicts just feels a lot easier.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: That sounds like exactly what I kind of did, right, Yeah,
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: I sort of just you know what, all right, I
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: don't need to talk to you anymore.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: That's what ghosting stems from, if you're conflict avoidant.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: All right, what about you, Roger Rogers on the phone.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: I had a friend who I found out was talking
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: about me behind my back. He was saying stupid, terrible
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: things about me that weren't even true, Like he was
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: making stuff up about me, saying things about my other friends.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: I just stopped talking to him, and I haven't heard
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: from the years, and I don't care if I ever
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: do again.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because that was a hater.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: You had a hater in your midst.
