exactly which means we're recording this on a wednesday but for you it is tuesday and guess what we said we'd see you next tuesday and if you're on spotify you're seeing us next tuesday oh yeah look at us or you're listening to us and then i just say use your imagination i'm naked she is and she's doing jumping jacks my god melissa so brave watch out uh oh my goodness so resilient i just bounce right back exactly so um yes welcome uh this is our episode where we read the results of last week's episode of but am i wrong and this is our first episode um after sinners we're back in the real world we're no longer in the world of our husband and vampires and the episode is 152 and you are up

for us melissa says if you're going to cheat on your spouse do it in a large televised venue seven percent said it was wrong 93 said it was not wrong someone said tbh when i first heard about this i didn't care because to me it just seemed like another dumb ceo finally biting the dust but tbh the more i find out about this the better i love the tiktoks about it and all the reactions and also the fact that his wife loves coldplay makes the backlash of this so much better i will say i do think that letter from his wife i think that's not real yeah there's a lot of fake things there are a lot of fake children popping up a lot of fake letters i don't even care that that's his fake daughter because she's very she's great but there's also little boys that are like

children because his children are younger so yeah yeah so there's i've seen little boys pop up too and i'm like great but like there are fake things going around so just be vigilant in the information that you're consuming i i have to say the fact that people were taking her like letter response as real i'm like we're so not living in the real world anymore like do you really think that like he's essentially a bit like a bajillionaire wife is going to like make you can't legally this is not how this is gonna work like this is not if they're gonna whatever that is people are like love it and i was like oh and we exist in fanfic which hey i love the fanfic we'll get into the next exactly also the lady she is also married to one of the richest families in the world which

that is a fact so at some point you know you just do what you do that money doesn't matter when you have so much money rich eating each other literally and figuratively yep someone else said melissa is not wrong but this one was tough for me as much as i've enjoyed watching this unfold as a child a divorce whose mother cheated i would have hated finding out this way i appreciate the call out for concern about the kids yeah i mean i'll just there's no good way to find out that your parent is cheating on your other like there's just there's really there are like worse ways you could walk in on them in the act i feel that's the absolute worst because who wants to see old people hunching on each other and then being like wait now i have to look closer because i'm thinking

is that what the other adult that i don't want to see naked you know what i mean like you're just like you're having to investigate something you don't even want to see to begin with yeah so i think yeah that's the worst but i do think like in the rankings of it like definitely sucks but i hope they're young enough that like it's not like they go to school she has older children though they're the photos that the last photos that we saw of them one was graduating from high school so he might be in college yeah so that's gonna suck they have been blurring their faces though so that's yeah but i would assume like your like your peers know your know that it's your parents or like know like the last name part um the only thing i can hope is that like they hopefully maybe

they hate their parents and then this is that was gonna be my next thought i feel like like these it's probably a hate type relationship and like i bet these parents aren't around a lot no and like this is like deeply embarrassing for their for the parents like not necessarily the kids i think the only time that you assume like embarrassment for this is if you feel responsibility and that's because you like love and care about that parent so much but like some of us don't and so this is kind of funny someone else said love this melissa is very right i need your take on what would have happened if they just acted like nothing people would still find out at some point but definitely in a less viral and memeable fashion right yeah they were

the girl that originally posted this there were several other people in that video it was just this couple because they started acting weird and then on top of that chris martin is like oh they're probably very shy or they're cheating and then that's what kicked it off so because i think like the only chance that like it someone like it still came out that they were cheating if they hadn't reacted this way is if somebody else at that specific venue watching that specific concert knew them like because i don't it's not it wasn't it wouldn't have even i don't even obviously it wouldn't have gone viral otherwise but like i don't even think that person would have posted the video well they would have i think they would have just posted like this was part of the concert

in the same way that people post concert stuff because they were filming it anyway. Sure, but sometimes people film that stuff because they wonder if they're going to get on it or they know someone or something's going to happen. Into Charlie XCX for the Brat Tour, some people do a dance. I don't know if Coldplay has a thing

where they try and find a fan to do something. And so people know to record that part. But to me, if it wasn't even that interesting of a clip, it's not even a guarantee that that person would have posted it. But she wasn't the only one that posted it. That's just the one that went viral. There were several other people that posted it. But I mean, if they hadn't reacted that way,

I think people might have posted, but a fraction of the people, if it's just like, oh, a couple's here, it's not like, oh, this is one of the clips from the concert I have to post. Yeah, but I still think it would have got posted. It just wouldn't have had the reaction that it had. That's what I mean.

So the amount of people posting it leads to way less of it being there's no reason for it to go viral then and so again unless you were really there or you ended up like searching the concert and you're one of their significant others i don't think and i don't think any of their i don't think people would have figured it out from this but again cheaters are sloppy because of their reaction yeah they would have found out eventually because cheaters are sloppy and hey they might have already known i think they did yeah because it's a very bold move right now for a limited time everyone's part of the buick team even you buick's employee pricing

If anyone else is watching Spotify, I really wanted a Shirley Temple. Couldn't find a sugar-free grenadine or one that was not, or even like a sugar grenadine. I can only find like corn syrup ones and that, hate the feeling of that in my mouth. So this is a, I think you might actually like this. Well, do you like Shirley Temples? It's not cherry, it's pomegranate. it is but and i also like cherry flavor i don't like physical cherries oh interesting cherry flavors are always delicious yeah it's that consistency of a cherry is disgusting it's

kind of mealy and wet it is it's like yeah and i don't care what kind of cherry it is they're all disgusting in their own special way yeah that's okay that's fine um but this is a canada dry fruit splash cherry ginger ale so it's medicine it's yeah it's a sonic drink exactly someone else said all the memes bring me so much joy they 100 deserve this i hope they live in an at-fault uh state if they want to get divorced or they have enough property or pay taxes in an at-will state so they could file in that state or not at will with cause another person said the way that if they didn't acknowledge it no one probably would have known anything because people wouldn't have even thought twice about it and their partner wouldn't

have found out either melissa's not wrong someone else said totally agree that they should be in public so they can be shamed someone else said i seriously do not get how chill people are when cheating of course you're going to get caught at least they get the public shaming they deserve that's it flawless okay then we have megan thinks you should have at least one ship in the harbor at a time seven percent said i was wrong 93 said i was not wrong featured on this ship you will use nickel andrew i will say that my royal caribbean roots were screaming because all i wanted to do was post like a sailboat but they have drilled into me the difference between a boat and a ship and i do feel like i let i let that captain down who told me all about that

there's nothing that's ever been corrected more than what i was when we were doing shipping julia and i kept saying the boat like ship ship ship and i was like okay it it is not a boat it is a ship i think about ships and otps all the time for anyone who's unfamiliar once you're pairing lately i think about crystal crisis chrysalis and the blind bard there's a book that has bracius should i know these people and crisis as the main characters from the iliad okay sorry um i've never had the iliad chrysias means a blind bard in the book the story was not the center of the book but i think about them all the time those are my like some of my favorite chips is like secondary characters like background like i love that stuff and i've said it before but like

one of my absolute favorite fanfic genres that was one of my also favorites to write was harry potter's parents james and lily like you know get into it are they fucking what are the parents fucking when they're meeting for the first time in hogwarts like we get like crumbs of their story i thought you meant posts i thought you meant them as adults were fucking like before they die that's not to say i mean they didn't have many years of adulthood that was crazy when i got older and like realized the age that she like killed all these people off i was like i'm sorry they were like fighting dark magic at like 24 like damn i would think if you had magic i would actually wait to have kids yeah you know oh somebody sent you a fan fiction i saw it in my

email i appreciate that thank you so much i don't know why i said it's so formal i've never said fan fiction before a fiction of the funds someone else said i agree with megan but i'm sadly shipless and love island is not an option any other suggestions why is love island not an option love island is all always an option but also any fictional show too it doesn't have to be a real life couple you don't watch any type of tv any type of movies any type of media yeah do you want to get back get back into twilight get into um hunger games get into like return like if you don't have a current ship going on run back an old ship it'll get you into a new ship yeah my old ship of lois and clark from the new adventures of superman has now re-upped because i didn't

realize how much i was missing see i didn't like smallville because it started in smallville and i like lana and so i have been seeing clips now when lois finally arrives and i might just jump in season four or five wherever she starts because i don't need the backstory because i already know it totally and there is something like undeniably so fucking hot about tom wellington as you ran in this like i've watched it i watched a few episodes and i was like i just can't oh yeah i mean you're here for the plot i was there yeah i was gonna hit my rock and i could just look at photos and was fine yeah but i've been seeing a lot of clips now and i said i want to revisit this i like i didn't watch all of it because i remember i had my friend's mom she was watching it and that's how

we got into it like we walked in when she was watching it we both were like hubba hubba like who is that and it was when he was tied up in the barn and i was like yeah yeah and so i like would watch it when she was when i was over at her house but i like never watched like even like the more i think i probably watched like two episodes in a row the rest of it just makes sporadic but i would i want to start from the beginning except we have to think about the um the nexium girl isn't it isn't she yeah i mean she's very much in his best friend so yeah and then the whole the whole show yeah she's not in jail even is she i think she got out i think she did get out too oh this is a ship i haven't heard before someone said always and forever it's paris hilton and

nicole richie for me i'm sorry i can't unique that they're like siblings that's incest to me they are sisters so it is a little odd but you know i think more people would think of them as sisters or more people would get confused and think paris hilton and nicole richie are sisters than the amount of people who don't even realize that nicole richie and sophia richie are sisters they're like wait they're related i'm like are you really last name didn't mean anything to you the fact that they're constantly posting photos with the same father that that also and they have yeah whatever you know i'm at the point now where everybody's dumb well yeah and that's just how how i think of everybody it's the default yeah wow someone said i think you just found the key to

teaching people empathy damn you just took this to a whole other level my current ship is david corn sweat and nicholas hold okay cool nicholas hold you like him with the blonde hair now right is that yeah he i've never found him attractive until he got that blonde hair and i was like oh like i've never looked twice at that man yeah you know he was number two for superman they were one for this superman odd but i have to say i i like that in the sense that cast your number two is something else and you're yeah he kept he um uh james gunn said that during the screen testing he just kept putting his finger over his hair and be like can i see him bald because he like he he was like i knew that he should be licks oh that's so nice because there's nothing worse than being

like hey it's between you and one other person for this role and you're like amazing amazing you're put on hold for it and then like it went it went to that other person i'm like could you give me another right part like can i just have something else if i got that close to that one i was racking my brain to think of my favorite ships and it dawned on me that the heartbreak of raven and devon breaking up and that's so brave and i will never get over that was true young black love and i will never forgive disney for that what does she end up marrying do we see who she ends up with in the yeah because he comes visit some kids i thought it was him i mean they get divorced but oh maybe that's what they're referring to then you can just

leave it at the original okay so they got back together they popped out two kids so you know then they got divorced someone on the disney channel sebra is saying i would have loved to see them develop some spin-off of college episodes like they did in saved by the bell the college years i would have liked to see how they reconnected after he moved yeah but they're like 40 now yeah well it's too late for that it's just a little too late like when would they she was already college age while she was doing raven and then she wanted a break so when would they have done that no she she was like i i can do a shake a shimmy a twist in the streets of barcelona and then i have other things to do i can't i can't go back i can't go

back to that i can't go back to wearing that many items of clothing the amount of layers they had her in was we would have still dressing like that but when she would have the jeans and then a skirt on top of the jeans and then a scarf belt on top of the jeans and then a chain belt on top of that i'd be like i you were walking around just it's like a weighted bodysuit and that's why she just wears sweats now yep she's like i'm fucking done with this shit convinced this is why the girlies reading again but how do we give how do we get the men to give a shit yep you see my response men aren't our problem it's true they're none of my business but like we need them to fix democracy but i i disagree with that i think if we get in with the women and then women that are raising

boys like we have to start fresh the ones that are on our side are on our side and then you get in with other women and in america we are the majority it's just stupid women that vote against their own right yeah i agree with all that i don't care about a fucking man unless i'm related to him and i can all the men in my life that i'm related to they're good exactly and so all i can do is be an example for them well and also men don't want to learn from women they want to learn from other men that's why it's not my problem exactly it's men that are on our side that need to be indoctrinated someone else said

obama opened my eyes to oh god and by someone mary said that i just can't hey let us have our ships and here's the thing do you know who i think probably thinks that's a funnier than anybody is michelle i think michelle probably thinks that is

so fucking funny i think sasha thinks it's funnier than anybody yes besides the children how can we use this to our advantage could you get me tickets to the concert already could but yeah can harry styles be my other daddy i doubt she listens to harry styles maybe that's it all right someone said no girly you're definitely cursed do some cleansing rituals and also maybe move it seems like all your exes are too close and and you need a break someone else said hear me out what if their exes are cursed to always run into them all of them all three of them were cursed another person said besides curses there

are rituals to break connections the writer could try those someone else who is a witch said i wouldn't say curse however we are in retrograde until august 10th and from what i've seen on astro on astrology tiktok they've all said that we'll be running into our exes or past friends or people from the past no thank you to the writer i maybe suggest a banish spell to banish all exes well this person has been running it's not just a recent thing they've been constantly running to it so it wouldn't be retrograde that's affecting them another person said writer's not wrong and that they are cursed time to move girly get away from the constant reminders and start fresh elsewhere another person said i fear the writer may be cursed but maybe they can hire an

online witch to send their exes suck you by in their dreams so they never want to stop sleeping or leave the house and then the writer will be free perfect and then the person said i hope y'all get the reference because i can't figure out what episode of don't blame me that call is in of course we get the reference and that person is now married and thriving so i was like bitch where have you been and she said and i got married send your wedding pics we won't post them but i just want to see them someone else said definitely cursed my country is about 1.3 million people and i rarely see anyone from uni slash high school who isn't in my current friend group and that's it then we have right number two are they wrong for thinking 30 year old birthday

parties it should be simple 35 of the writer is wrong wow 65 of the writer is not wrong writer is not wrong whatever happened to a nice dinner and drinks also i think the bar for gifts should be lowered and should be small but thoughtful if i'm paying to go to greece you're not getting a gift i didn't even realize like that didn't even cross my mind that there were going to be a gift involved after that my gift is my presence my presence is your present that would like that's objectively crazy to me if you are getting like if you are getting on a flight or you're staying overnight somewhere and i even think it's like there is a oh we're spending money to do this thing together that's that's your that's your present like i understand people

like oh well we have adult money now and i was like and we have adult bills yeah someone said hi this is me so after hearing your thoughts i think maybe it is just my friend group there's like of course six of us and our partners we went through all the weddings a few years ago so maybe this is just in the in-between of wedding and kids like melissa said thanks for your insight ladies i think it could be i think that's what i said it's not like a baby moon no i think that's like before you're about to pop i know i'm saying it's like the pre pre pre-pregnancy yeah it's the pre raw moon before you're coming before we're uh raw dogging it people can do whatever they want for their birthday so the writer shouldn't feel bad having their low-key 30th but it is a milestone

year happening in continuously quote-unquote unprecedented times so i understand why i and others did slash are doing it big for my 30th my friends and i went to our twin island and stayed in hotel for five days in the same year we did a hotel we did a weekend staycation at a hotel for my friend's 30th in the same group my friend group is small though because i think that makes more sense if it's two people two trips and it's like oh cool fun let's like you can take a more six is like a fucking plus partners yeah so it's double the cost essentially yep my partner celebrated their 30th with a shark coochie board and wine and prosecco and dress like you're at the cuntiest funeral i've ever been to death to my 20s party for my 30th i'm debating either tumblr party or

emo party oh my god you could do both tumblr emo but aren't you emo anyway i think we're talking like we're like really leaning into emo we're talking like no longer having a job emo like the kind of emo you can be when like your only restrictions are no it's like you have no restrictions you have no like school dress code restrictions you have no like gotta be i have a boss or it's a throwback to the 2000s emo oh well yeah that's key birthday should be whatever the birthday person wants if for you that's as simple then go for it the person planning two years out to do a villa weekend i think that's only justifiable if they never want a wedding or kids well they had a wedding so i'm 30 this year and i planned a party at a local venue where people

where people can drive to so that people could spend as little as they wanted to the idea of expecting people to be able to go on a trip is crazy unless as the person planning it you can fund a large portion of the cost for everyone or it's clear that there's no pressure to attend so i was like all i wanted for my 30th was a dinner i didn't have to cook or pay for myself that's a good one okay they don't have to be quote-unquote simple but this writer's circle is wild seriously how wealthy or in debt are they my 30th is coming up in a few weeks and i would never expect my friends to be signing up for shit like this, especially if multiple are doing it in close succession. I agree. Joint, extravagant, or don't expect everyone to attend. My friend group

is all the same age and we all met in college. We are turning 30 next year and are planning one group trip to celebrate all of us at once, still deciding domestic or international. That makes perfect and total sense. Doesn't have to be simple, but I do not want to get on a plane unless it's a best friend. I don't think the writer is wrong necessarily, but very much on board with what megan said that birthdays can and depending on the circumstances should be celebrated as much as weddings but not necessarily in addition to like you get to choose one big giant party at that life stage yeah i'm turning 30 in a few weeks and just going to a pub with some cake with friends most of my friends turning 30 this year are doing similar low-key things keep it it's you

and your birthday tip and we got my wrong of the week Hector

Corona Villanueva who's wrong 95% said that Hector's wrong

5% said Hector's not wrong so there's like one unblurred photo of the teddy

bear and I'm not even sure if it's like that one or if it's like the

listing photo but I do want everyone to know that like I spared you from

including it like it's like horrific like it looks so gross and so freaky and scary and then the fact that it was sold out after this story yeah it really posted there's like lots of weirdos yeah lots of fucking freaks someone said i also nominate melissa for a partial run of the week as a san diegan i would like to say i don't want to claim victorville as socal especially after hearing this i didn't declared that the news did so you take it up with the press which was also a little crazy to me too i was like i wouldn't have called that southern california but i don't even know where it is so

i call it central but that's that's i don't think that's what the news said so not my problem and do not ever put something like that on me then i'm wrong she's never wrong someone said i love when dumb boys get caught someone else said people need hobbies well that is his hobby being a weirdo some people need better hobbies someone else said this guy should be admitted to a mental health facility well if they've gone through the proper channels just not gonna put that on anybody someone else said what the fuck this man has no friends the teddy bear was his right someone all said i'm very much anti-human skin teddies what if it was a teddy that was like a sexy teddy you know like not build-a-bears i feel like build-a-bear after dark no i mean

like the lingerie type teddy even grosser that's it then my nomination for wrong of the week conor gregor 95 said he was wrong five percent said he was not wrong are you okay that five percent are you well what do you mean if there's crossover with the teddy bears which i'm sure there is pervert y'all are weird someone said why are men a tiny lobster man needs his mommy to take his phone away he does look like a lobster and not in a delicious type of way and like a crustacean kind of burnt crusty yeah crunchy type way someone said put it away as an irish woman we strongly believe that connor is always wrong he left his pregnant girlfriend who supported him before he had his big break and since then we have as a nation disowned him i i did know that people

were like oh my god he's irish and i was like no the he's he he is not he is not irish he is no longer irish he's he's a piece of shit and has consistently been how many people you know with the mick at the front that aren't irish oh none exactly so why are you why are people questioning that no i know people are just like oh my god he's like i but everyone's like but i thought like they have like having a lot of people just have like stereotypes of what they think irish people are like in like a romanticized version there's still terrible irish people there's terrible people everywhere had to have that conversation people being like i just like gotta move to ireland right but like you know it's all inclusive so many it's so inclusive and i

have rights and it's not racist i'm like why ireland has its own set of problems we've all got those but in general america's the only one we as an entire world collectively shit on someone else said eww I hate this man to do that to Azalea Banks of all people is crazy he wanted to be seen exactly Connor is always wrong
