  Speaker 2: Crazy.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Anyway, so we had a good time. We went to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the coast and saw, you know, the ocean just relaxed.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: It was great.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: But unfortunately we got a dead battery along the way,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: which really sucked. And so way there, uh no, we
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: actually stopped at a store to get some supplies and
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: then went out to the car and dead battery just
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: didn't start, so we had to get Yeah, so we
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: called a tow truck and they showed up luckily five
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: minutes away. So he was really easy, not a big
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: deal at all.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: The last time I needed a tow truck five hours whoa, Yeah,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: it was ridiculous. Anyway, long story go ahead. So it
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: was great.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Guy was super you know, super friendly. They turns out
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: we do need a new battery. The battery had been
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: going low, so we finally just said, okay, go ahead
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and replace it. So he put it in no problem.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: But as he's explaining what's you know, what's happening with
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: his battery, my wife was talking to him and she
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: had actually made the call and she was handling the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: whole thing, and so he shows up and then you know,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: she's talking to him and everything like that. Also he
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: says to her, excuse me, but I need to talk
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to the man, and she goes, he goes, I usually
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: talk to the husband.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: And so how old was this guy?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: He was younger. I'd say he was like twenty five,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: which surprised me.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: And so did she smack him?
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: No, but she gave lift him right off his feet.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: And so I went over there and I, you know,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to defend her on her but at the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: same time, I'm figure out what's going on with the situation.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Took off your glove and slapped him on the face.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: How dare you I challenge you to a duel?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Wow? That's just so tone deaf.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just who even who even thinks like that at all? Ever?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: But it was funny because he says, well, you can
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: listen in. He says, that's my wife, thank you, Like
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you can listen in.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I'll have to take a break from making cookies over
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: here to listen a little bit. Yeah, let me put
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: down the vacuum cleaner.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I'll be right there. It's the clicking of my knitting
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: needles interferes with you men talking. Do let me know?
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Wow, I make you a sandwich.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Did your bride respond in any way to that or.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Just she kind of said, no, I'm capable. I can listen,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: sort of like what Katie did. Oh good, I can
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: listen in.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Huh, what a funny thing to say. An odd thing
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: to say.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: I might say, I would like anticipate that from like
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: an eighty five year old.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, men, I just didn't. I don't know people that
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: talk like that.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: That is a shocking thing to say.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Excuse me, the men are talking.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: But it was funny because he wanted to explain the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: battery to me and what was wrong and stuff like that,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and he was just like, I needed to talk to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the man. I need Usually I explained the stuff to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the man, and I'm thinking, you know, okay, so it
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: it went fine, but it was just I had to
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: defend my wife's honor and you know kind of say,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: look she can you know, she can listen, and it's fine,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and it's really it's good.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: And you know, what are you wearing when you walk
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: along the beach?
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I just walk on jeans and tennis shoes.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Gotcha jeans?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Well it's it's cold. Well yeah, that's the only reason, yeah, tishoes.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well I can.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Would you be barefooted, Katie? Yes?
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Usually barefoot well beaches, uh or flip flops something that's
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: easy to clear or clean off.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: It depends on the California beach. You don't want hyperdue
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: mic needles sticking out of your toes.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Hold.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we were in fog. I mean, so it was freezing.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: You might stecond step in human pooh.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, if you're like like more central coast, Yeah,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: this time of year, it can be foggy and like
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: thirty five degrees colder than it is inland.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: And that's the crazy thing about being to the beach
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: pretty much always in California's how freaking cold it is.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: The other thing we ran into though, was a public
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: wedding you're there along the coast, and so people they
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: set up chairs and they get married in front of
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: trees and along the ocean. And I wasn't sure quite
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: what to do. I the wedding was literally going on,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and so my wife wanted to go. Non't know it
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and the cake was right there.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: You just walk right through the middle. Excuse me, pardon me,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: excuse me, nice dressed, excuse me?
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Make a piece of the cakes?
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Pretty good?
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Should I?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: After you know, they kissed and they did the whole thing?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Should I go up as they congratulations? I noticed you
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: have quite a bit of cake, but it'd be okay
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: if my wife and I have a slice.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: I feel like you overcatered this thing. Is all right
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: if I have a little bit of that.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: You don't want to have to haul this stuff home.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Let me help you out with My battery died and
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I'm hungry, to.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Be honest, I heard when I thought you said public
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: wedding like wets themselves.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Too.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: I had a public wedding, but not for quite some time.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: It's yeah, the old uh yeah, you know. I I oh, boy,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't even I should not even stick my toe in.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I was walking by a wedding that was about to
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: happen with a friend, and he who is married, said
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: something so profoundly disturbing about what a mistake the young
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: man was making.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: No like to be funny. Really no.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Originally I thought, is this a joke? And I'm reasonably
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: good at plying to find that out, and uh, it
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: became clear that it was not.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Wow, did he know said couple getting married?
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: So it was just a comment on marriage and he's unhappy,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: is what that was.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I left it alone. Yeah, but it was unmistakable
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: in its tone.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Whoa, I'm picturing Joe being like that gift of Homer.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Homer Simpson backing into.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: The bush exactly with my eyes wide.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because exactly I'm divorced and I don't have that
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: attitude about marriage at all.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's too bad. Yeah it is, oh man, And
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: it's these are people with whom I am have an
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: ongoing relationship, and it's just odd because it kind of
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: sits there in the back of my mind, like again
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: to the Simpsons, the clapping monkey in the back of Homer.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I remember one time I stand with this guy. He
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: was older, he's probably sixty years old and been married
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: forever everything like that. But anyway, we're standing outside and
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: a car went by, like with the tin cans tied
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: to it and said, just married on it and drive
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: bite everything like that, and he said it happens. What
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: an odd comment on right, Well, that's it happens.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: That's right up there with I'd prefer to talk to
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the male with I don't know how to react to that. Well,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: in the power imbalance, when you're counting on the tow
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: truck driver, you gotta be nice to them. I think
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: everybody knows that you treat the tow truck driver like
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: you treat your doctor, because you want to make sure
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: you know this goes well. Because I need you, you
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: don't need me.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Have you ever been to a wedding where you thought
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: it was a terrible idea for them to get married?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Me?
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: No, never once in your.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Lot that I recall you, Katie, let me scan my
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: memory banks.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: But no, not that I can know.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: No, I've been to two and I was right.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think frequently people who believe that at
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: a wedding are right.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Well, I worked at a bar and there's a lot
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: of a lot of relationships that came together in the
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: bar world that were pretty obviously. The one wedding, the
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: sister punched the maid of honor in the stomach and
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: it started a brawl and they went ahead and finished it.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: But it did not last very long.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Gut punching the maid of honor. That is uh, that's
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: a rough day.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: And then I worked with a guy I knew him
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: very well, and everybody hated his girlfriend, then fiance, then wife.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Everybody hated her. She was an awful human being and
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: she treated him horribly, and he came to work every
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: day and complained about how awful she was. It was
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: one of those deals. I mean, everybody knew what a
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: horrible domineering ruined his life sort of person, and everybody
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: felt bad for him as wishing he wasn't getting married.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: It was weird to go to a wedding like that
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: because I mean all of us were sitting there with like,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I can't believe he's doing this.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I speaking of people I have at least a
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: slight ongoing relationship with. I know a couple that she
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: is that regularly humiliates the guy.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's what this was, like takes it. Oh
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: my god, I got a story about this too. Oh,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: I'll let you finish that part. Oh no, no, that's
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: that's she humiliates him like in front of people.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, it doesn't hesitate to just reduce him
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to rubble and it's it's it's hard to take the uh.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: I'll get back to the because it'll be a good
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: ending story for this podcast. I'll get to that one
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: a second. But the fanciest wedding I think I've ever
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: been to, and the hottest wedding I've ever been to,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: where the people were the hottest, Like everybody was good looking.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: They were both models, and all their friends were mo
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: and everything like that. I mean, it was really an
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: impressive wedding. They were young too, they're in their twenties.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Boy, so when he was single. I'm at that reception
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: till the last person leaves, just like you. No, I've
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: heard this is a good fishing. Great.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Maybe if they get drunk enough.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah look, maybe maybe they won't have their contacts in
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: the whites a little and I've got a chance.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: And anyway, it was really impressive, like super nice on
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: the ocean, well catered, everybody was dressed up, everybody was
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: so good looking, and it didn't last I don't think
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: it was weeks. It was not months. Oh she found
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: out of something about him or I don't remember what
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: the deal was, but I mean it fell apart so quickly,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: and I thought, wow, that was the That was like
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: the most looked like something on TV wedding I've ever
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: been to it. It didn't even last weeks, which I
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: thought was interesting. Back to the guy I worked with
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: who everybody hated his girlfriend, who was in his fiance
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: who became his wife.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Is he comfortable with you talking about this because I've
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: heard him bring it up before.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Does he know he didn't know who I am? He
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: didn't know anything?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, I thought it was somebody else.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: No, no, guy, I mean, if he knows who I am,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: you should reach out to me. Dude, I haven't talked
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: to you in forty years. Thirty years, so that's funny.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: I had the wrong person in mind. But anyway, going
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: been very very long time.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: I hope he's not listening because this is kind of hurtful.
• 11:14

• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Lattice Company Christmas Party?
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: He gets one hundred bucks for playing the harp during
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the podcast. You realize back.

• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Contract just says.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: The overtime double time exactly. Company Christmas party back when

  Speaker 3: companies had Christmas parties, and back when companies, if they
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: did have a Christmas party, were like nice. Like he
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: got dressed up and we were at a holiday in which,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: in this particular time was like the nicest place you
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: could be. And we're all around the pool and there
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: was food and drink and everything like that, and people
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: are dressed up, and for some reason she got mad
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: at our boss, his boss, my boss, everybody's boss. She
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: got mad at the boss okay, and started yelling at him,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: and she was kind of drunk.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Good idea, yeah.

• 12:16
  Speaker 3: show how mad they are. I've never quite understood what's good.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: I've seen guys do that at bars before they get
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: mad and they take their shirt off like that of class.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: I don't understand. She showed how mad she was by
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: jumping in the pool. She jumped in the pool in
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: her dress, I'll show you, and because she was of
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: larger carriage, she floated, and she floated in their water
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: with her arms crossed like huh oh. She just was floating,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: bobbing there in the water in her dress, with a

  Speaker 3: I do not You seem to feel like you have
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: the upper hand, and I.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Understand that you are trying to communicate something, but I'm
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: not clear on what it is.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Those of us were dry looking down at you. Feel
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: like perhaps you do not have the upper hand in
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: this argument. It was such an odd thing. I'm sure
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: you've made the point you intended to. I'm not sure
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: this is coming off the way you think it is. God,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: that was something we talked about that for a long time.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'll bet and he went ahead and got hitched.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, poor son of a gun.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, this is another terrible thing that shows you
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: what my boss was like. He was a bad guy.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: She was of larger carriage, as I said, Oh, oh
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: when she when they walked down the aisle past all
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: the people, he mooed. No, I'm not kidding. Wow her
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: to hear, but for all of us who were sitting
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: there to hear. Oh, that's just so awful, isn't it.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: He was my boss, meaning oh in so many ways.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh, to reduce a human being like that
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: to that's well. And then is he alive? I mean,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: he's alive, I'm gonna punch him in the face. If
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: he's dead, I'm gonna dig him up and kick his bones.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: She was a horrible person, which, oh, there's that. She
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: was a horrible person, like a horrible person, and he
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: was horrible to She was horrible to him, and we
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: all liked him. So there was that. But he's marrying her,
• 14:23
