Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You know how we all like psychics and mediums and stuff? Yeah. Okay,
- 0:03Speaker 1: so there's this website called medium.com. And I think that's
- 0:07Speaker 1: what medium.com is. I don't even know what medium.com is.
- 0:09Speaker 1: I don't know. I've never been. Maybe it's not. Can
- 0:12Speaker 1: someone go to medium.com?
- 0:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going right now.
- 0:15Speaker 1: I just saw this link. I just read the article
- 0:17Speaker 1: from medium.com.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Oh, it's a membership thing.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Oh, pass. Anyway, good. Well, I have this article. So
- 0:22Speaker 1: there's a woman at medium.com, and she says that once
- 0:26Speaker 1: a romantic relationship ends... An ex should essentially become a stranger.
- 0:31Speaker 1: The article's called Why I Treat My Exes Like They
- 0:33Speaker 1: Are Dead. Okay. Like they're dead. Okay. She believes moving
- 0:38Speaker 1: forward means cutting off unnecessary updates, check-ins, emotional ties to
- 0:42Speaker 1: someone who was once deeply important. The belief is reinforced
- 0:46Speaker 1: that when a married ex continues to text just to
- 0:50Speaker 1: catch up, that's bad. Yeah.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, because that's intrusive to your new relationship.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Yes, so this is her rule. Unless there's a practical
- 0:58Speaker 1: reason to stay connected, such as co-parenting, former partners don't
- 1:01Speaker 1: need your made friends or acquaintances. Yeah.
- 1:03Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:04Speaker 1: I think you've got to limit your access and just
- 1:07Speaker 1: keep the thing the thing. Here are tips for getting closure.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Don't keep soft, low-stakes contact, quote, just to be polite.
- 1:16Speaker 1: This includes random how are you texts, birthday texts, messages,
- 1:20Speaker 1: or checking in just as friends. Don't do that. Even
- 1:22Speaker 1: when the messages are harmless, they keep a faint emotional
- 1:25Speaker 1: thread alive.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay, and here's what's interesting is when you hear medium,
- 1:28Speaker 2: you think medium and psychic, but apparently it's not. It is, okay,
- 1:33Speaker 2: here anyone can share knowledge and wisdom with the world
- 1:35Speaker 2: without having to build a mailing list or following first.
- 1:38Speaker 1: So it's kind of like a.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Little bit of everything.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Well, because the article said, treat my exes like they're dead.
- 1:43Speaker 1: So I thought. Right. No, I mean, I totally would
- 1:45Speaker 1: have assumed that. So anyway, here are things to do.
- 1:47Speaker 1: These are tips for getting closure after a breakup. Don't
- 1:50Speaker 1: use mutual friends as information sources. So asking, have you
- 1:53Speaker 1: heard how they're doing? Sometimes that's hard not to do that.
- 1:56Speaker 1: It says not. I'm telling you. I know. Turn your
- 1:58Speaker 1: social circle into a low-level surveillance system. Don't do that.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Don't leave digital remnants that keep them vivid. You don't
- 2:05Speaker 1: have to delete everything overnight, but if those things still
- 2:07Speaker 1: hit you in the chest when you stumble across them,
- 2:09Speaker 1: they're not neutral. They're anchors.
- 2:11Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:11Speaker 1: So get rid of them.
- 2:12Speaker 3: I feel like sometimes like on Facebook memories, I run
- 2:15Speaker 3: into that because especially in college, I would post like
- 2:17Speaker 3: all the albums and I have like an X on there.
- 2:20Speaker 3: And every time it comes up, I'm like, delete.
- 2:22Speaker 1: I don't need you on here. Don't reach out for
- 2:25Speaker 1: closure months or years later. The desire for one explanation
- 2:29Speaker 1: or one more chance to be understood is extremely common.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Most of the time, though, it just reopens a wound.
- 2:35Speaker 1: That was starting to close. Closure is something you give yourself.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Don't keep them in your conversations, especially if you're dating
- 2:41Speaker 1: someone new. Stop bringing them up. Don't mention what they did,
- 2:44Speaker 1: how they were, what went wrong. Treat that chapter like
- 2:48Speaker 1: a part of your life. You no longer need to narrate.
- 2:50Speaker 1: I love that.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Closure is something you give yourself.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Close the door, Kyle. I promise there's more. Close the door.
- 2:57Speaker 1: That's another one. It says.
- 2:58Speaker 2: No, I think that's so, I like relate to that
- 3:02Speaker 2: because there was this person that I dated. It was
- 3:04Speaker 2: like on and off for years and years and years.
- 3:06Speaker 2: I think I was always waiting for him to give
- 3:08Speaker 2: me closure, but it wasn't until I closed the door that.
- 3:11Speaker 1: It was really over. Was it Mason?
- 3:13Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:13Speaker 1: I love that guy. He's a great guy.
- 3:15Speaker 2: I think he's a great husband now to someone else.
- 3:18Speaker 1: He's married?
- 3:18Speaker 3: Yeah. But you know what this kind of says.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Hey, you gotta see this guy. Every once in a while,
- 3:23Speaker 1: a picture pops up. I have a picture of Kyle
- 3:24Speaker 1: sitting in his lap.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh, yeah.
- 3:26Speaker 1: And every time it pops up, I go, damn.
- 3:28Speaker 3: I would like to see what he looks like, just
- 3:29Speaker 3: for my own.
- 3:30Speaker 1: He looks like Captain America. He looks like my past.
- 3:34Speaker 1: What does his wife look like? Is she nice? I
- 3:37Speaker 1: don't know. Like, Kyle, she closes the door.
- 3:39Speaker 3: She doesn't go and stalk her ex, which is normal. Okay,
- 3:42Speaker 3: but this does make me wonder, and this is specifically like...
- 3:46Speaker 3: What if you're trying to heal and you're doing all
- 3:48Speaker 3: of this stuff to close the door, but then the
- 3:51Speaker 3: person is still being persistent? It's like you block their
- 3:53Speaker 3: number and then they email you or then they call
- 3:55Speaker 3: your mom.
- 3:56Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 3:57Speaker 3: Yeah. I have a friend that's going through that right
- 3:59Speaker 3: now and I'm like feeling for her because I'm like,
- 4:02Speaker 3: she is really trying to move on and this dude
- 4:04Speaker 3: just won't let it go.
- 4:06Speaker 2: That's literally Taylor, Frankie, Paul and- Yeah.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Well, here's the last one on this list.
- 4:11Speaker 1: He won't stop. Here's the last one on this list
- 4:13Speaker 1: on how to get closure. She says, I don't hate
- 4:15Speaker 1: my exes. I just let them go.
- 4:17Speaker 3: Unless they deserve to be hated.
- 4:18Speaker 1: I don't wish my exes harm, but I don't wish
- 4:20Speaker 1: them anything either. They're simply people I used to know.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Once I say goodbye, I mean it.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Can't you just wish them well?
- 4:26Speaker 1: Yeah. You're just somebody that I used to know.
- 4:29Speaker 3: I guess I'm not mature enough for that.
- 4:30Speaker 1: You want to wish them harm?
- 4:32Speaker 3: Just wish them well. Maybe sprain your ankle or something.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Oh, my God. A high ankle sprain. Good morning, Denise.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Hello.
- 4:40Speaker 1: All right, so you are playing for Kanye Tickets.
- 4:43Speaker 2: Yes.
- 4:43Speaker 1: All right, what are you doing right now? What part
- 4:45Speaker 1: of town are you in?
- 4:47Speaker 3: I'm on the 202, about to get on the 10
- 4:49Speaker 3: right now.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Since you like to be very specific. I do, I do.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Can you drive and play? Are you going to be
- 4:54Speaker 1: okay driving and playing, or do you need to pull over? No,
- 4:57Speaker 1: I'm good. I got you guys on speaker.
- 4:59Speaker 3: I know you hate speaker, but I can hear you guys.
- 5:01Speaker 1: I can hear you good, too. So let's play. Let's
- 5:03Speaker 1: explain what imposter is, Peyton. Yes, so imposter.
- 5:05Speaker 3: Our producer, Nick, has secretly picked one person in the
- 5:08Speaker 3: studio to be the imposter. The rest of us have
- 5:11Speaker 3: all gotten the same word or the same topic. We're
- 5:14Speaker 3: each going to describe the word without saying it. But
- 5:17Speaker 3: the thing is, Denise, one of us is lying and
- 5:19Speaker 3: is the imposter, and you have to figure out who
- 5:22Speaker 3: it is, okay? Okay.
- 5:24Speaker 1: All right.
- 5:24Speaker 3: You get to pick between John J. Rich, Kyle, or
- 5:27Speaker 3: me to kind of kick us.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Off and start us out.
- 5:31Speaker 3: Let's do Kyle.
- 5:34Speaker 1: Fruity Pebbles.
- 5:36Speaker 3: Milk.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Swig.
- 5:39Speaker 3: Addictive.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Chippendales. Lucky Charms. Utah. Drama. TikTok.
- 5:52Speaker 3: Dance.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Swingers.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Friendship. Loyalty.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Moms. Mikayla.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Okay, Denise. Let us know who you think is the imposter.
- 6:06Speaker 3: One of us does not know what the topic.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Or the word is. Can you each repeat your very
- 6:11Speaker 1: first word?
- 6:12Speaker 3: Lame.
- 6:12Speaker 1: That's why you're on speakerphone. You're not supposed to be
- 6:14Speaker 1: on speakerphone because you didn't hear.
- 6:15Speaker 3: Fruity Pebbles.
- 6:16Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Because I think that will give it away.
- 6:19Speaker 3: I heard you guys, but then it.
- 6:21Speaker 1: That's actually a smart tactic. I needed to pick up
- 6:22Speaker 1: what the word was.
- 6:22Speaker 2: I don't remember.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Mine was addictive. It's a smart tactic, but it shouldn't
- 6:25Speaker 1: be allowed. Mine was addictive. I said milk. Oh, I
- 6:28Speaker 1: said swig. Whoever said milk. Okay, well, that's me, John Jay.
- 6:33Speaker 1: I said milk.
- 6:34Speaker 3: Are you in the imposter?
- 6:35Speaker 2: John Jay, I think you're the imposter.
- 6:37Speaker 1: I am.
- 6:39Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Her tactic worked.
- 6:41Speaker 3: Literally, though, but yeah, because what, John Jay, you thought
- 6:43Speaker 3: Kyle was getting into cereal?
- 6:45Speaker 1: Right, but I figured out, I think, if I could guess,
- 6:48Speaker 1: that it had to do with Mormon housewives or moms. Yes,
- 6:51Speaker 1: you're right.
- 6:52Speaker 3: But honestly, Denise, you played the game well. I know.
- 6:55Speaker 3: I'm like, I kind of remember who was the one
- 6:58Speaker 3: that said milk, but I remembered someone said milk, and
- 7:00Speaker 3: I was like, wait a minute, who's the.
- 7:01Speaker 2: One that said milk?
- 7:02Speaker 1: Did they not drink milk on that show? That's not
- 7:05Speaker 1: really like indicative of it. Hey, what was the Fruity
- 7:08Speaker 1: Pebbles part, though? I don't even know how that's on
- 7:10Speaker 1: the show.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Go back and watch season one.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Okay. It's a whole thing. It is NSFW, if you will.
- 7:15Speaker 1: I reject my question. All right, Denise. Good job. You
- 7:19Speaker 1: got tickets to see Kanye. Congratulations. Yay! Thank you so much.
- 7:23Speaker 1: By the way, are any of you guys watching Meegly?
- 7:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I just started it.
- 7:29Speaker 1: I'm on episode three. Do you at all feel like
- 7:31Speaker 1: it needs more Reacher? It does need more Reacher, but
- 7:33Speaker 1: Reacher's in episode one. But I've already heard from people,
- 7:36Speaker 1: and it's so funny, because she wears a Fruit Loops
- 7:38Speaker 1: t-shirt on. And I guess people are buying up these
- 7:40Speaker 1: t-shirts now. Since you brought up Fruity Pebbles. Oh, that's fun.
- 7:44Speaker 1: She's got a t-shirt that says Fruit Loops on it.
- 7:47Speaker 1: And she wears it a lot. And everyone's like trying
- 7:49Speaker 1: to buy the shirt now. And I don't know where
- 7:50Speaker 1: she got it. But anyway, if you watch Neegly, check
- 7:52Speaker 1: it out. I think it's a pretty good show so far. Yeah,
- 7:54Speaker 1: it is good. It's on Amazon. It's like number one.
- 7:56Speaker 1: In fact, did you see the star of Reacher made
- 7:59Speaker 1: a big post on Instagram? How bummed he was that
- 8:01Speaker 1: he got bumped to number two. Oh, no, that's so funny.
- 8:04Speaker 1: That's cool.
