• 1:32
  Speaker 1: is it um canceling like what do you think flaky

  Speaker 1: is for you um flaky is not sticking to plans
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: especially like a trip um but flaky is uh to
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: me even being constantly late for something having excuses why
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: you aren't coming to somewhere when the plan was for.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: You to be there. To me, I don't think I've
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: ever dealt with anyone that flakes, realistically. I haven't either.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: It's not that bad. But late, I have. To me,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: a flaky friend is someone that just needs to be demoted,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: not cut off. Like, I just think you need, you
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: and this friend just might not be aligned with what
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: you mean to each other that's a that's a good
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: way to put it like you don't like I'd be
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: like girl let's get up we have plans to get
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: up if it's a friend that I'm like don't really
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: care to really get up with I keep pushing it
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: off or I'm busy or dang something came up but
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: that just means that that's not someone I genuinely want
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: to build that deeper rapport with so that's like You
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? I don't think a real friend is.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I noticed that, like, love languages and friendships are different, too,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: with being able to keep in contact. Like, that's something
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that friendships, I think, really require, and it's how you
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: continue to keep your friendship strong. But flakiness is interesting
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: because I was in an argument, not like an argument,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: but a little back and forth with a friend that
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I've had on this show. His name's Brandon. We've done
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the what's in your bag stuff. And Brandon was like, girl,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you be flaking on me.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, when, where? He's like, you were supposed
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: to call me yesterday.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, because in my head, a phone.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Call isn't that serious.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: But one of the things that he let me know
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: that I really appreciated was he basically said to me like, oh,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to like get my FaceTime on, have my
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: drink and catch up with you.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I think of it as our like little date.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And if you got too busy or something and you
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: didn't let me know, like, that's disappointing. And I was like,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: you know what? He's like, because we don't live in
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the same city, girl. So when are we going to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: have the time.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: To catch up?
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: And I really appreciated him saying that because now I
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: make the extra effort if I ever say something to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: let him know because I know he needs that. And
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: that's how he would feel respected and cared about. But
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: other than that, I can't think of instances where I've
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: ever flaked, even if I'm anticipating lateness.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I would let someone know that. This story, she gave
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: quite a bit of examples. Ooh. Let's see. This is
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: also a very longstanding friend, and we find that out
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: out the gate. Okay. She says, hey, I have a
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: friend I've known since the third grade. We've been friends
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: for most of our lives, although we did have a
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: falling out at one point because what I felt was
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: her careless and flaky behavior. We reconnected last year, and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the truth is, when things are good between us, we
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: have so much fun together. Neither of us drinks, but
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: somehow we can still shut a place down with just
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: our energy. There's a history of familiarity between us that
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: is hard to replicate. But there's another side to our
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: friendship that has become increasingly difficult for me to ignore.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: My friend is extremely boy-crazy, and unfortunately, the men are
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: rarely quality. Mm-hmm. Interested in a man, she will bend
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: over backwards for him. I joked that she would give
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: a kidney if she thought it would secure a relationship.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: But when it comes to her friendships with women, particularly
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: our friendship, that same level of care just isn't there.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: One example involves a sorority I was interested in joining.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I asked for her help getting involved, and initially she
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: wasn't particularly interested in helping. Then she started dating someone,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: and suddenly she was willing to help. I actually coached
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and supported her through that relationship because that's the type
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: of friend I am. When the relationship eventually ended, which
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: had absolutely nothing to do with me, her willingness to
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: help me disappeared with it. She either didn't want me
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: to join anymore or would brush off the conversation whenever
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I brought it up. It felt like something that mattered
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: to me only mattered to her while she was happy
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: with a man. That dynamic shows up in smaller ways too.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Most of our conversations revolve around her. I listen to
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: what's happening with her, her relationships, her problems, and whatever
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: she needs to process. But when the conversation shifts to me,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: suddenly she has to get off the phone or can't
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: really be bothered. I recognize that part of why this
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: bothers me so deeply is because I don't let many
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: people get close to me. I've endured a lot in
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: my life, so friendship isn't particularly casual for me. If
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I consider you one of my people, I'm a ride-or-die
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: type of friend. I'm very black and white about loyalty. She,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: on the other hand, seems much more comfortable being a
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: fair-weather friend. The part that has become hardest for me
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: is that this no longer affects only me. Because we've
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: known each other since childhood, I've allowed her to become
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: my daughter's godmother. She's flaky in that relationship, too. I've
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: told her repeatedly that while adults can decide what they're
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: willing to tolerate from one another, you cannot be inconsistent
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: with a child who loves and depends on you. She
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: doesn't seem to understand why I consider that such a
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: big deal. And I think that's where my feelings really changed.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: It's one thing to watch someone break their neck to
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: show up for men while being careless about disappointing me.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: It's another thing to watch them do it while also
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: being careless about disappointing my child. The reason we haven't
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: spoken in the last few weeks is actually another example
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: of the behavior I'm struggling with. She invited me to
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: her sister's birthday party, which was about two hours away.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: The plan, as I understood it, was for us to
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: meet up and ride out there together. As the party
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: got closer, I hadn't heard anything from her. Eventually, I
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: texted her to ask what the plan was. That's when
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: she casually told me that she had already made it
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: to the city where the party was being held. I
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: was confused and said, oh, I was waiting for you.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I thought we were riding together. She basically responded, oh,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I just went ahead and came out here. Then she
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: started telling me that everyone was getting together and that
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: she was gathering everyone's information and putting their names on
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: the list for the party. Meanwhile, I'm sitting there thinking,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: you invited me. We had plans to travel there together.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: You left without saying anything. Didn't check to see where
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I was. And I only found out because I contacted you.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I didn't argue with her. I didn't send her a
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: long message explaining why I was upset. I just stopped responding.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: And honestly, it wasn't really about the party. It was
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: that this felt like yet another example of something I've
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: experienced throughout our friendship. She can be incredibly careless about
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: how her actions affect me, and somehow I'm expected to
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: just roll with it. What makes all of this more
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: complicated is that I genuinely love her. When we're together,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: we have an amazing time. We have decades of history,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: but I'm starting to question whether history, chemistry, and having
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: fun together are enough to sustain a friendship when I
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: don't feel like the actual care is reciprocal. We haven't
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: spoken since the party situation. Recently, she reached out and
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: asked about my daughter's birthday. I didn't respond. So now
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering, Is this a friendship worth trying to save
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: because of our history, the love that's there and how
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: much we genuinely have together? Or am I holding on
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: to the history of a friendship that in its current
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: form doesn't actually meet my definition of friendship? Thank you.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I got my answer. Y'all could go back and watch
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: my vlog if you were in the $ 15 and up
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: tier on Patreon where I talked about someone being considerate
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: and considering me being a form of respect and the
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: least minimum bare thing that I expect from anybody in
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: life now. And if my time isn't considered, my money
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: isn't considered, my ability to navigate, travel, change, the effort
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: that I put, if nothing is ever considered for how
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I show up, then This ain't it for me. You
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: know what I think? I agree, duh.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: She said doesn't sound like a great friend but so
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: she wasn't male-centered when you made her to godmum like
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: i just don't think that people don't show themselves to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you the first time like i don't know like when
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: she's saying like oh but she'll do it for a
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: man like That's the only part where I was just
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: kind of like, okay, girl, she jumps for niggas. Like,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: so you never saw this. You never saw.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: It's giving that she doesn't have kids. And so for
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: you to expect someone to show up for your child
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the way you would.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Because that was where I was not feeling it.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Title to me is like, girl, she got her own life.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Like a God mom is someone that shows up in
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: case something were to ever happen and And yeah, you're
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: the friend, you're the longstanding friend, but I think you
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: judging her and how she's letting your daughter down isn't
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: fair because she's not. I would hate if somebody said
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: that to me.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: That was the only thing in this whole thing that
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: was making me be like, okay, you're obsessed with a bitch.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: And I know that sounds mean, but like, and she's
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: not showing up, you're disappointing a kid.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Is she telling your kid she's going to pick her up? Like,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: what the fuck are you talking about? Yeah, I want
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: to know where the disappointment for the kids. Like, I'm
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: going to be real with you.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Maybe y'all had different type of godmamas growing up, okay?
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: But I saw my godmama maybe once a year or so, like,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: and I never thought, oh, my God, Auntie Paula's never coming.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, she passed on, but, like, it was never
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: this thing of, like, I don't know. I don't like
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: how she threw in, and now I guess I'll, this
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: just literally reminded me of a conversation that I had
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: with my mom. Because my mom and my grandma been
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: beefing boy since she found out her daddy wasn't her daddy.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: It's been a lot of drama, right? Oh, I can imagine.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: My mom tried to, like, shame my grandma in the
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: lack of relationship we all have with her. And she was, like,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: just dissing, dissing, dissing my grandma. I literally had to
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: stop my mom and be like, what you're not going
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: to do is gaslight me right now. Because if you
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: genuinely cared about the relationship all of your daughters had
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: with your mother, you would have made sure that that
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: happened regardless of your relationship with her. And so in
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: this letter, for her to say, she texted me the
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: other day about my daughter's birthday, but I didn't respond.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Don't sit here and spend two paragraphs about how she's
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: let your daughter down and how much you care about
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: how she shows up for your daughter. And then in
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: the very last paragraph, say that she reached out to
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: show up and ask about your daughter's birthday and you
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: left her on read. Do you care about your daughter's
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: disappointment or do you not? Does your daughter really care
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: about how much she shows up or does she not? Like,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I think that you need to find a way to
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: genuinely sit with your feelings about her. Why do you
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: care about her male-centeredness? What is your relationship currently with men?
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Do you not get the same privilege of dating because
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: you have a child? Is there any resentment pulled there? Like,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: if she's a single girl just out here being male-centered,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: a lot of bitches are that. And kind of like Weezy,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: you said, bitch, I know you knew she was male-centered
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: since y'all been friends since the third grade. This isn't new.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Maybe since the third grade, you've allowed her to only
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: speak about herself and you didn't have the confidence or... Sorry.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: or security to infiltrate yourself and demand the type of
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: friendship you wanted from her. It is kind of, I
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: wouldn't say obsessed, but it is giving that maybe you
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: like her and want more out of the friendship than
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: she genuinely wants out of you.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Like, I really, so like, I know you had your
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: feelings are the considered thing, but when I made that
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: little face, it was because I was like, that godmama
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: shit was crazy, y'all. So I'm a godmama to two children. Cash,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: he's in Atlanta. My friends AJ and Toya made me
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: a godmom when she was pregnant and it was beautiful.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: And my makeup artist and friend, who I'm not super close, Maggie,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: she doesn't have many friends in New York.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: You've met Maggie. She asked me to be the godmom
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: of her son. I said yes.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Now, I just saw Bash in Atlanta when we were
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: recording and I took him to the aquarium. I haven't
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: seen Bash since 2026, 2025.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: If his mom would have.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Given me the fucking energy or his dad, it would
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: have hurt me so badly to just be.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Like, well, you don't do it. It'd have been like, damn, man,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: like I'm not his other parent. I just don't know.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I guess maybe maybe she needs maybe she needs to
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: like outline her expectations of also a godmother. I would
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: be so pissed if someone did that to me. Clearly
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: her expectations as a friend seem bare minimum, but they
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: seem to be getting conflated with the godmother expectation here.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: And I'm actually about to be godmama to another fucking kid. Three.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: And all I'm saying is, what are... Am I supposed to...
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I already sent... You know I'm the Christmas gift. I'm
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: going to send a fucking birthday gift.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to do the check-ins, just as we
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: do when we're in our friendship talking.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: But like, what does she expect? Yeah. Does she have
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: to pick her up and take her to the fucking
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Chuck E. Cheese's?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: And I think that the way that she spoke about
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: it as though she should feel guilty, that woman has
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: no responsibility unless you did.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: That's what a godmother's responsibility is, right? Yes. The other thing... I.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Just find that any male-centered woman I know has been
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: that way as long as I've known them.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: They may go up and down in it a little bit. Um.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: So she must have been a good enough person for
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: you to make her the godmom. To me, like, I
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: just don't see a world where the woman.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: I.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Have two people I think I would make a godmom
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: of my kid today, right?
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Two people in my head.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I don't see a world where I could be talking
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: about them like this in five years and just talking
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: that nasty.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Like, you hate this bitch. You really do. I mean, yeah,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: definitely giving that you get nothing from this... I just
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: don't know if I believe. Like, it can't be that bad.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: And again, you just said this woman probably has no kids.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: If your homegirl is single and likes to party.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: And goes out. And likes to fuck on niggas. Are we, like,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: advocating for the hoe right now? I mean, no. Don't
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: get me wrong. That shit would have pissed me off
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: with the motherfucking car. I mean, but also even when she.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: But then she also said, it was my understanding we
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: had plans.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: When you were reading that, I read it again. Hold on,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: because I'm just like... I mean, they could have both
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: just laxed in the plan making. That's what I'm feeling.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Hold on, wait, wait, wait. She invited me to her
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: sister's birthday.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: The plan, as I understood it, was for us to
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: meet up and ride out there together. As the party
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: got closer, I hadn't heard anything. And eventually I texted
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: her to ask where the plan was.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Then she told me she already made it. Are y'all
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: talking every day or did you make the plan the
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: week before and just didn't follow up?
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Because I'm going to tell you what they sounded like
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: to me.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, the month before.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: My sister was going to have a birthday party in Jersey. Oh, okay.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: I'm going to ride with you. Okay. And then no
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: follow up. And then no follow up. You know what?
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I think that's why I'm feeling away.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: I reached out to her. Well, babe, you should have
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: been on that a little bit more. And I actually
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: think she would have been like, oh, shit, I'll pick
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: you up. I actually do. I swear to God, my
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: homeboy made fun of me. He sent me his little
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: AI flyer for his birthday that was at Cheetah. And
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: it was in the group chat with me and Crystal. So, bitch,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: there was an 8 p.m. calendar invite for Cheetah sent
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: to both of them. Just so that they knew and
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: that it was on their calendar that, bitch, I know
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: we going to Cheetah to celebrate Keith's birthday on his day.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I remember you mentioned that on the Meno episode. You
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: make plans with people. Like, things need to be kind
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: of in stone. We all have different lives. We all
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: are navigating work, relationships, friendships, like, goal, dream, dick. Oh,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: my God, Mandy.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I had somebody do this on my birthday.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Oh my God, it just hit me. I'll make it quick.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: On my birthday, the address came out. I invited a
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: hundred people. As y'all know, we remember we talked about
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: my birthday. For some reason, I just hid the address
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: and sent it out on like whatever it is, party
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: full or whatever. Do you know this bitch called me
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: at 1130?
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Didn't answer the phone. Yeah. Yeah, I was fucked up.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Which my nigga had my phone. I don't know who
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: had my phone. Vinny, my mom or whatever.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Next day, either I post something or somebody posts something
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: and she calls me. She's like, how was it?
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I was like, girl, where were you? And she was like,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: you never sent me the address. And I was like, huh?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: She was like, yep, you never sent it. I was like,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: did you RSVP? And she was like, yeah. She was like,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: read your message. I'm like, read my message. She sent
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: me a text message at 2 p.m.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: On my birthday. The birthday party was on my birthday.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: And said, hey, babe, send me the addy.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I said, you know, all due respect, like, do you
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: think I was thinking about sending the address?
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Like, there were parking instructions. There were instructions on how
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: to Uber. There were instructions on how to get up
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: the hill. Did she just not read?
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: She's like, oh, yeah, RSVP, like, what did you want me, like, to.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Anyway, we haven't spoke since. She's not a friend friend.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: She's just, like, a bitch from Instagram that means.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. I don't know if this is
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: a friend friend. No, no, no.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: But the thing is, just the idea that, hey, babe,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: send me the address, and, like, you having this expectation that, like, bro, like,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I just remember getting blamed for something
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the day of the party. And I'm like, I just
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: know it was her sister's birthday party. She's like, bitch,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: you thought I remembered that you needed to be picked up?
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have been just like that.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: We still love you and we want you to become
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: a patron and everything.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: But like, I think she just really needs to sit
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: with her expectations of people and this friendship. And clearly
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: you're getting exactly what this girl has the capacity to
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: give you. Unless you tell her you don't like how
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: she's showing up and she makes change. I think you
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: need to separate the expectations of godmother and friend and
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: sit back with what you really want from her as
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: a friend and communicate it. Agreed. Demote her.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: And now maybe Mandy and I are bitches and everybody
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: else talk about it in the comments, but you won't
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: see the comments.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: This isn't worth cutting off. I just think you need
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: to demote her and have a conversation. Agreed. If you
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: want to send your letters, send it to decisionspod at gmail.com.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: You always got decisions plus the hoe, but make the
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: right one. All right.
