  Speaker 2: And on day one, who strolls up shows.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Into Mexico, Surprise.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I thought you'd missed me.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: And the best part was how she described his nitpicking
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: at the price of the tacos, the price of the
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: massage where they sat in the airplane, and I was
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: losing it. I was cracking up because I was thinking
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: as I was listening, Oh, I'd be that girl that
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: liked the surprise visit. Ways I have all meant, I
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: have been mentally prepared to go on an alone trip
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: for the first time in my life, and I'm gonna
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: do this. This is gonna be great, and I'm just
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: gonna spend all this time on myself. And then the
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: minute Mike, you somebody shows up, I'd be like, I
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: have friends.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: She has friends. I have a husband. And when Sonny's
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: husband showed up, she was like.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Wow, Wow, that was so funny.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: And the fact that he seated to point out all
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the four hundred dollars tacos, She's like, you ate three
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: out of the floor.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I ate one. What are we talking about here? She's
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: like the two hundred and fifty dollars massage. She's like,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: it's my massage, it's mother's savage.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Don't look at it.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, my favorite two?
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Was this? The dishwasher or the I mean, what is
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: it about these men that you have to do things
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: like a certain way and it's the wrong. It's not wrong.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: What I'm doing is not wrong.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: It's not wrong. No, they say, I am told.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: All the time that I don't stack the dishwasher in
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: the proper order.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, you're talking about the fact that her husband sent
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: her a post a DM in her Instagram on Mother's
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Day morning, pointing out that women the longer they've been married,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: do a less and less a good job.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: They do a poor job putting dishes in the dishwash.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: That's what was her Mother's Day and he thought it
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: was hilarious.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: And she's like me, right now, wait are you what
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: are you agreeing with? Pablo? Oh, it's funny.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: It was funny to him. It's not money to a
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: woman who spent all this money. And listen that we're
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: being an old married couple. Here, my producer, Pablo here,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: who's like in his late thirties. Pablo, Okay, I'm gonna
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: stack that dishwasher. I'm preparing you, son, I'm preparing you
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: for when you're married. Let her stuck the goddamn dishwasher
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the way she wants.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: If she did it. If you don't like the way
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: she did it, do it yourself.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: But I mean, I've got I mean that that's that's happened.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: In this house.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Like I will watch Mike rearrange the dishes.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: That that's because he's a he's works in building homes
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and electric wires.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: And I've now gotten a point where if you want
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: to go ahead and rearrange the you do it.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: There was there was there was a joke that was
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: going around the internet's at one point, and it said
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: something like, there are those in your house that stack
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the dishwa washer, load the dishwasher like a fucking architect,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and then those that loaded like a raccoon on crack.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I know what I am?
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: What are you? You're the raccoon.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I'm the raccoon.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: And your husband, who's an electrician and is precise about
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: his wiring and what should not cross and whatever, he's aligned, Yes,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: very much. You know you would think I was, you know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the raccoon on crack with some of the drawers I
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: have in my house. But then when it comes to
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the dishwasher, I am adamantly the architect, which is probably
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: where my son.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Gets I know what you're not an architect about.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: If you say folding cloth, I don't give a shit
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: about folding clothes. Are you going to say folding clothes?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I don't give a shit about folding clothes. That's what
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I have you for. You can come and visit me
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and fold my fucking clothes.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: That's your raccoon moment.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: That's your raccoon, that's your architect moment.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: That's right. She made me so happy when she said
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: she gives that book, Oh the places You'll go.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, I love that book.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I've given that book away so many times.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Did you give it to your kids book.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: I've given it to a lot of kids that have
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: graduated from high school. I think it's a perfect book
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: after you graduate from high school.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, I think I'll give that to my niece.
• 7:23

• 7:27
  Speaker 3: timeframe in life.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good idea. I did love that. I loved.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the way she delivered that, She's like, they
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: are incredibly beautiful and slightly vapid.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: It's just like she just went from here to ear.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Would he really be surfing in Costa Rica if it
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: wasn't for a particular young lady women.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: No. But the fact that the fact that her husband
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: when when there was a fallout between her son and
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: a crazy ex girlfriend, that her husband was able to
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: call it and say, don't worry, he's got this. He
• 8:16

  Speaker 1: you have one son that's married, the other one that's single, and.

• 8:28
  Speaker 1: guys when they were going through breakups or whatever that
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you weren't because he's a dude.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: You were an only child.
