Starting point is 00:00:20 I don't know why it's moving so much. It's had enough of your shit. I'm done with your shit. I've had enough of your shit. I'm done with your shit. I think you should go first today. Because I've done those two, didn't I? Right. Okay, darling.

Starting point is 00:00:52 Yeah, but almost you can't even hear me. Yeah, but I feel like you're further away. I feel like it's because you're going down there and you're reading this like this, whereas I'm reading like with my phone. All right. So get it done. I can't put it on my phone. I can't work it out. Reddit does not want to go on my phone. Yeah that's a bit better. But yeah I noticed that as well. I feel like that was better sound like you said. Did you think? Did you not? I don't know because when we had them... I don't know.

Yeah. And then his version was just like, break. So, I mean, he's very, they are very similar. No one's telling any fibs. Okay. They work together, but it was just he was like and her face okay she was like I tried not to kill him you've got quite all right yeah I literally have done lots of reading just not finding the Mandela no I didn't do I was really struggling with it well I didn't actually do any research on that but I did same as you saw some stories that i liked and then kind of saved them so we've just got two episodes of stories but we will get to it

I've got true... we just do stories that we like, that we've chosen today. So, and then just when you read it out, just say where it's from on Reddit. So a lot of mine are true off my chest. Yep. Mine are off the true of my chest as well, to be honest, but that's quite a good network there. I can't wait until we get the same stories, we choose the same stories. Okay, ready?

Starting point is 00:08:53 She ruined everything. I've gone too far now. I can't work like this. It's not niche, yeah, it just has an itchy head. I haven't got this one. She hasn't got this one. I don't know where it's come from, but it it just has an itchy head. I haven't got this one.
Starting point is 00:09:07 She hasn't got this one. I don't know where it's come from, but it just says... Supporting my boyfriend cheating on me. What? That ain't it. That ain't... It's not it. That ain't it.
Starting point is 00:09:18 You been saved? What's wrong? No, that's alright. Sorry. I don't know what I'm saying. Sorry, because I'm going to cut this out. No, just cut this out yeah in the beginning in the beginning right okay uh I've forgotten what t-i-f What did that statement? I fucked up. No.
Starting point is 00:09:45 T. Hold on. I can't remember the T, but it is a I fucked up. T. I. F. Q. Today I fucked up.
Starting point is 00:09:58 See, I told you. Yeah, you were right, yeah. Okay, so I'm going to start with a today I fucked up. Ging, dubby, ging. Sorry. By throwing my steak out a window okay yeah okay so mail last night my wife... Can't be hot. Why did it slily in your lap? My wife reiterated... Reiterated. Reiterated. Reiterated. In the beginning.
Starting point is 00:10:40 In the begin... Shut up. Many times to me, just how important it was to make a good impression. I scoffed and arrogantly informed my silly wife that I always make a good impression. My wife's boss is a single lady in her 50s. I don't feel like that should have anything to do with it. Anywho, so it was just the three of us. We chit-chatted over drinks and salads and it seemed to really be hitting it off.
Starting point is 00:11:16 She laughed at my well-timed, perfectly appropriate jokes and my wife seemed pleased. appropriate jokes and my wife seemed pleased soon she brought out the main course a nice big juicy steak for for each of us as i began to cut into my steak i was discouraged to discover how undercooked this steak was now i've had my fair share of rare steak. I prefer medium, but I can handle rare. This was several minutes on a hot grill sort of rare. I probably could have resuscitated the cow if I had tried. Instead, I sat there fidgeting with my knife and fork, worrying about how I was going to get away with not eating this steak it's not his mum he's making a good impression right okay so he's thinking claim veganism
Starting point is 00:12:16 um no I'd read I'd already um what was that forage great enthusiasm upon seeing this steak. Just then, our hostess excused herself to the kitchen to take care of some dessert preparations. As I looked across the fancy dining room table at the open window of this third-story apartment, a cartoon-like bulb appeared over my head. I knew I had to be decisive, realising that she could return at any moment, and I committed. I grabbed the steak with my hand, gently shook off the juice and executed a perfect throw right through the centre of the open window. Here's the bit where big time I fucked up. The window wasn't open. No!
Starting point is 00:13:22 It was the cleanest freaking window you've ever seen in your life. This is until my mostly raw slab of steak slammed up against it and slowly slid down, leaving a trail of bloody juice in its wake.
Starting point is 00:13:39 My wife, whose steak was nice and medium rare and was unaware of my predicament, turned, jaw dropped and stared at me like I was an alien from another planet. This look then slowly morphed into more of a thrill. There is no place on this planet you can ever hide from my expression of demonic anger. My wife's boss heard the thud of the steak on the window impact and came quickly. She took in the scene, the steak sitting on the windowsill, the blood trail, my empty plate, and then gave me an inquisitive puzzled look
Starting point is 00:14:27 I just didn't know what to say it felt like a minute of silence but was probably three or four seconds finally finally the best the best I could manage was I I'm so sorry I must have I'm I am such a klutz I I don't know I was just cutting it and it it slipped just as my wife I really am a klutz just ask my wife sorry I am really a klutz right honey no help coming from that direction I will clean this up I can't believe this I'm sorry etc etc so both women continue to stare at me like I had escaped from a loony bin as I smeared the blood around the window with my cloth napkin, dusted off the steak and continued to mutter my incoherent explanation. I knew no one was buying the story.
Starting point is 00:15:37 I knew what I had to do. I sheepishly returned to my seat, proceeded to eat every bite of that disgusting, cold, chewy, bloody raw steak. Oh, it's disgusting. I could never. I remained pretty quiet the rest of the evening. My wife only two words to me since the incident are,
Starting point is 00:16:01 I'm fine. TLDR. since the incident are i'm fine tldr uh tried to throw my uncooked steak through an open window only to find it was not open edit thanks kindly for reddit update just got the first post i'm fine um communication from my wife via text who is at work. Good news. The boss's name. And I just had a good laugh over how much... This is the message, by the way, sorry. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Good news. Boss's name. And I just had a good laugh over how much of a fucking idiot you are. Right. I hope you know you will never live this down. Love you, you moron. Okay, well, good. Yeah yeah for the love of god wouldn't it be brilliant like proper commercial I would never be able to eat meat like that not after it's been on a window
Starting point is 00:16:58 as well would you be able to eat bloody food no I have to mine's cremated even medium rare i couldn't do that it's disgusting babe but yeah the the window thing all like you know you can just visualize it like he he told the story well but i wonder what why he was like i know let's chuck it out the window not can i just have it cooked yeah i've been i'm so sorry well so sorry. Well, why? Do you want a swap? Yeah, I can't. It's too rare for me. It's about to get off my plate and walk away, like one of those. Give it a blow, it'll come alive again. Yeah, yeah. Moves off, goes to the... Moves off.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Yeah, yeah. Oh, dear. Brilliant. My top comment was, one question, let's say the window was open and the steak is gone she returns a minute later would you have told her that you devoured it um and then someone then says and then she finds a weird outdoor steak outside at some time or maybe bears obviously we're in america yes yeah Or maybe bears. Obviously, we're in America. Yeah, or maybe bears.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Could you imagine that? I mean, did they say you've got to bury everything, didn't they? And then someone else says, no, no, the trick is to grab the steak from the yard on your way back to the car. Oh, they've done that before. I've watched films where people wrap it in a napkin.
Starting point is 00:18:25 And then someone else, and then someone else says, cook it at home. With a bit of grass. It's pastured steak. Oh, it's funny. But, yeah, the best thing about this one. Yeah. Is he done this just for me to find that wife has also done a reddit story yeah she's mad she's coming from an angry point of view
Starting point is 00:18:53 yeah so it's his boss her boss yeah it was supposed to be yeah making the good impression yeah for wifey's new boss yeah Yeah. But, yeah, it was brilliant. I really enjoyed that. Really good. Yeah. Tickled me. But I can imagine, like, one of our boy mates doing shit like that. Yeah, but I don't, I've never been, I never can understand.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Do you remember when we went up to the seaside where we felt posh? Yeah. Where were we? We weren't pos seaside where we felt posh? Yeah. Where were we? We weren't posh. But we felt posh. We were in West... No, never mind. It was where people...
Starting point is 00:19:31 East End. Yeah, where people were having sex in the toilet. That place. Yeah, we were near West End. Yeah, we were posh there, which says a lot, right? Sorry. And we went to the fish and chip shop, and then we had no sauce, and it was just after covid wasn't it
Starting point is 00:19:45 and everyone was really frightened to ask for ketchup but i don't have any fear or shame so i'm like excuse me love because we weren't at the fish fish and chip shop when we went to the fish and chip shop we were in a posh restaurant it was a fish and chip shop but it wasn't i had pasta you're talking about after i'm talking about in the day. We had fish and chips, remember? Yeah, basically. That's the first thing we did. Yeah, so we're in the fish and chip shop and everyone's like, oh there's no ketchup. So me, excuse me love, can I have some ketchup? Because I just, there is nothing in my brain that goes, you're going to embarrass yourself yourself like there's nothing there at all so if i someone said to me here at your dinner i go oh babe i can't eat that you're gonna have to cook
Starting point is 00:20:29 that a little bit more for me and then i'd say sorry and whatever i remember going to mcdonald's and they put so many little chips in my large fries right so i went excuse me love right as i do i was like can i have some more fries in there? Please don't spit on it. I'm really sorry to ask you, but please don't spit on it. And I just have, he went, we don't do stuff like that. I was like, okay, I'm really sorry. Please don't spit on my food, but can I just have a few more chips? And the boys were just like, oh my God, mum.
Starting point is 00:21:01 But what can I do? Yeah, but I used to go to McDonald's and be like, can I have a cheeseburger without the meat and they'd be like they're like what say you just want the bun and cheese why why did you do that vegetarian at the time yeah but and they didn't actually do a veggie option and when they brought out that dirty old veggie burger it was stanky why so why not just two portions of large chips some dusty bum with one cube of cheese who does that did they charge you the same some people i hope so yeah my ear bitch some people charge me but i didn't care okay why of all the things on the
Starting point is 00:21:42 menu you could have had um i suppose morning it would be hash browns, but you could have had two large portions of fries. No. Some dusty bun with a cube of cheese. Because then what two large... Yes, I wanted to make different... You didn't deserve a McDonald's at that point. It was well annoying when you were vegetarian.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Like, you even fucking remember. I do remember. You were a vegetarian when you had, got pregnant with your first lovely boy. You started to eat meat and I was like, thank God for that. I was a vegetarian
Starting point is 00:22:13 from the age of 12. You did so well. That was the time when we learned, I do remember, that was in school when we had our first chat about all the stuff
Starting point is 00:22:21 they were doing because even I went vegetarian for about three days. Yeah, not long after, I say long after i say not long i think a year or so after there's the whole chicken flu yeah yeah or whatever i remember when they were but the cow mad cow disease yeah burning yeah the cows yeah and then something with the pigs happened yeah and me i was like yeah sandwich mum vegetarian for a reason yeah don, so I want to die I was vegetarian for a week mum cooked up like this whole pot of vegetables with sauce right
Starting point is 00:22:57 You remember those old pots back in the day like this massive pot and then she it was disgusting and then she put it all in Like containers and she was like every night you know whatever everyone would have a different meal and then she'd be like yeah same thing same thing so three nights have gone saturday morning because we'd done that thing at school i went home i was like i'm now a vegetarian yeah so then saturday morning woke up to her cooking uh cooked breakfast for Dad and all I could smell was the bacon and I was like, yeah I've decided that I'm not... It ain't for me. It's not going to work out.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Some animals will be hurt in the process but I need that bacon sandwich. So at least I tried. I tried for three days. So I definitely... If I had to choose, right, to only, like, be able to eat one food thing, you know, like vegetables, meat, pastries or puddings... And you didn't get fat on it?
Starting point is 00:24:01 No, no, no. If you only were allowed one food group, mine would be meat out of All of the rest What would yours be out of every light so you think you've got pastries you've got puddings you've got sweets You've got a fruit and vegetables You want to get a life mate not even pastries But I said to you like I to get a life, mate, not even pastries. I like pastries, but they all taste the same. But I said to you, like, I sent you a thing on it,
Starting point is 00:24:32 so I'm really, like, interested in the carnivore diet, right? So I've been doing a bit of research on it, and a lot of people that do the carnivore diet talk about... Can I just... Let me add, hold it. Yeah. When Ellie researches, this isn't just a, oh, look, I found this bit online. Okay, yeah, this sounds really good. I might give that a go.
Starting point is 00:24:50 No, no, no, no. Ellie's research is extensive. So if anyone needs an investigator, message us. Especially if it's a medical element. In 0.3 seconds, she will have the ins and outs of a duck's ass about anything or any person you want. Just give me their name. Yeah. Not even a second name. Just the first name.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Initial. Just give her the first initial. I'll tell you who they're dating as well. B. B. There she is. Got it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:19 She knows. Yeah. Do you remember when I found that stuff I found? Like that. It was not even a minute had gone and I found what she needed me to find. But yeah, so I've been researching the carnivore diet. And research is showing, obviously this isn't medical research. This is just so far what people are noticing.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Because you could say the Atkins, but it's not quite the Atkins diet. Okay. Right? So these people, they're eating, obviously, meat. Any meat, they are eating eggs. They are eating full-fat butter, full-fat cream. So we're talking like a full-fat... Is that including cheese and stuff as well?
Starting point is 00:25:54 Yeah, but, you know, not like a cheese that's mixed with other crap. Like proper, you know, full cheese. You know, you get the really mature, that sort of thing. Like full-fat butter. You know, if you get meat with loads of fat on the more fat the better and what it's showing is that these people's brains are clearer they're losing weight because apparently right so obviously i haven't really fully researched this but fruits and vegetables because obviously they're sprayed with chemicals pesticides unless you're going organic but even then some of these people are suggesting that we were never meant to
Starting point is 00:26:31 eat that sort of thing it's poisonous to us our body and that's why we have such a hard time digesting it blah blah blah but when you're on the carnivore you're you're meant to sleep better your skin's better you lose weight because your body is able to burn this because your body is meant to be having this when you're eating we all know carbohydrates and all that sort of thing it's not good but i definitely obviously it's too expensive i can't do that right now but it's definitely something probably after tough mudder come september after we do tough mudder I want to try one month on the carnivore diet and see does that make a difference to my headaches I mean people are saying body
Starting point is 00:27:12 pains um acne all this sort of thing you know eczema yeah that is clearing up and do I know fully whether that's fully true no but the research I've done so far tells me there's something to this so why not give it a go do you think you could do it i would afford it but if you say you could say come september you think 30 days i'm gonna buy this chicken blah blah blah because it can be frozen babe it just needs to be meat eggs blah blah blah but say would you try it is what i'm asking i've probably gone on the full tangent. Do you know what? Probably not.
Starting point is 00:27:46 I don't tend to diet. I don't. No. I don't like dieting. It's not even for dieting. For health reasons, would you try it? No. No.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Because I really believe, like, dark veg are good for us. Yeah. I mean, I'm not saying they're not, but there is stuff to say that actually, you know, that we... I mean, dark veg. I'm not talking about, like... Yeah, you mean, like, spinach and, yeah, broccoli and... Yeah, which I love all that. I do love all that. I do love all that. And I would miss salad.
Starting point is 00:28:15 And it probably is because my kids don't enjoy it that I miss it more. So when I do have it, I really do. Yeah, I mean, me, excuse me, you know, as my boys eat anything that's put in front of them, including Brussels sprouts. I've never had touch wood, I've never, so do I. Especially cooked in bacon. We're like, oh my God, so good. So good.
Starting point is 00:28:36 So good. So yeah, I mean, I enjoy, there isn't much that you go, I'm not a fussy eater by any means. Lucky, neither are my children or my husband. But I would miss, especially an onion salad i hate onion oh i absolutely love onions and you know they're really toxic as well i'm just gonna start going off i'm really sorry i don't like them they're they're yeah but definitely my opinion if you're thinking about dieting or trying to get a healthier lifestyle style definitely i know i've gone on to look into this and see what you make of it because i'm finding quite fascinating at the minute but anyway i'm so sorry steak no i couldn't
Starting point is 00:29:16 eat it like that i think that was the question wasn't it i can't remember what was yeah we were talking about steak we were talking about that's where it come in my brain. So, do you want to hear the same story, but from the other side? Yeah, 100%. I want to see how mad she is. Okay. I want to see if she's mad mad. I don't know if I feel a little bit drunk.
Starting point is 00:29:37 I only had a little bit by Elise. How much did you put in? Just a little bit. Just a little bit. We'll have a normal one after. Yeah, we'll have a coffee. after you have a coffee have a real coffee okay so this is from the wife's side her point of view brilliant brilliant um the uh today i fucked up by allowing my husband to come to dinner at my boss's house brilliant
Starting point is 00:30:01 she's mad man um she actually starts with saying actually this took a place a couple of years ago um i just got a brand new job that i was really excited about so i was delighted when my boss who i had been trying to establish a rapport with invited me and my husband over to her home for dinner. Well, mostly delighted. My husband is, well, he's the sweetest, but he has a history of doing really dumb shit. Because of this, I was worried about him coming along. Oh.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Bless him. Yeah, a little bit. It's not his fault he does dumb shit. No, he's just a div. He's just a man yeah literally oh by the time the day of the dinner arrived i had become so anxious about it i actually floated the idea by my my boss that i wasn't sure if he would be able to make it she was already trying to palm him she's going you don, you don't need to come back. You don't need to be there. No, I don't think you'll be able to make it. She was clearly taken back
Starting point is 00:31:10 and respond with, oh no, I really hope he can. I have a dinner for three all ready to go. Oh, for sakes. Upon seeing her dismay, I assured her that I was sure he would find a way to be there.
Starting point is 00:31:26 She's like, damn it. Yeah. Shit. All right. Well, we made it over to her apartment on time, and things actually started out really, really well. It was actually just the three of us, which surprised me somewhat, but made me a little less concerned about my husband,
Starting point is 00:31:45 as crowds really tend to bring out his unpredictability. Shows off. Mm-hmm. It's a man. I had just started to finally relax and was a couple bites into a delicious cooked steak when things took a horrible, horrible turn. We already knew.
Starting point is 00:32:11 My boss had just stepped into the kitchen to check on dessert when I noticed something odd out of the corner of my eye. It was one of those things where you know something strange has happened in your peripheral, did I say that right? In the beginning. Beginning. But you're not sure what. Shut up. You have a look over and focus your gaze to really comprehend it.
Starting point is 00:32:44 You have a look over and focus your gaze to really comprehend it. I looked over at my husband and see him holding his steak in his hand, hovering it just an inch or two above his plate. Before I had a chance to fully comprehend what I was seeing and verbalise something that might have saved all of us from the coming horror, he threw his steak, basketball style, across the room, straight into the dining room window. What was he thinking? It hit the window, making a loud noise, and slowly slid down.
Starting point is 00:33:20 Unbelievable. I love that they both said it slid down. Yeah. It really did. Yeah. I wish I said... Yeah. The poor wife. Now, my husband does dumb shit. I already told you that. But he's not a crazy person. Usually when he does dumb shit i at least understand what he's thinking there's usually some se- se- what the fuck? beginner semblance semblance a semblance it doesn't say a semblance
Starting point is 00:33:57 some semblance of rhythm or reason to the dumb shit in this case I was just dumbfounded I couldn't believe my eyes I couldn't wrap my head around what was going on I stared at him with what must have been the most confused look and watched as he stared back at me an expression of utter horror painted across his face i couldn't make any sense of what was happening but as but also i don't have time to try i heard the footsteps of my boss coming to see what the sound was it suddenly sunk in that it didn't make it didn't matter why he had done what he did. He did it and we were all about to come face to face with a very awkward situation. I could feel the anger flushing through my face. For a brief moment I contemplated trying to help my husband get out of this.
Starting point is 00:34:59 But no, this was his dumb shit bed and he could lie in it. this was his dumb shit bed and he could lie in it not like there was any point recover any not like there was any possible recovery anyway none none none my boss walks in and sees the steak lying on the windowsill. There's the fucking longest, most awkward pause where we all just sit there frozen. My boss and I are staring at my husband, forcing the ball into his court as the cringe just hangs in the air like an ocean fog. Brilliant.
Starting point is 00:35:44 I mean, they tell a good story, don't they? They tell a good story. I reckon they were. They probably ruin it by reading it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He finally manages to muster some incoherent garbage about being a klutz and even tries to get me to back him up. I leave his arse out there to dry in the deafening silence.
Starting point is 00:36:03 I leave his arse out there to dry in the deafening silence. He makes a poor attempt at cleaning the window and retrieves his steak. Mercifully, my boss asks me a question about work and we both dive eagerly into conversation. into conversation. We all resumed the rest of the evening pretending that he isn't there, a sort of unspoken agreement by all that this is the way, the only way to move forward. As soon as we got in the car, my husband turned into a nervous chatterbox trying to explain himself. Turns out the dumbass didn't like the way his steak was cooked rare and get this he thought the window was open my husband ladies and gentlemen tried to chuck his steak out a three story window he thought that was a reasonable solution to being served an undercooked steak. Yeah, no. A year or so later, my boss hosted a Christmas party for the company
Starting point is 00:37:11 at her newly built home. My best friend, Jenny, was my plus one. I bet she was. Note, my husband told this TIFU from his perspective a couple of years ago and it was a popular post someone suggested i should tell it from my perspective hope our discomfort brings a little joy to your brilliant to you uh fine redditors um and it also says edit okay guys i probably overplayed the dumb shit angle. Yeah, he's known for acting without thinking things through.
Starting point is 00:37:51 But this one moment does not represent the norm. Oh, she's sort of backing blessing. Yeah. From my perspective, in this moment, he looked like a loony bin character gone mad, which is what makes the story so funny in retrospect. Go read his perspective and his actions like at least a little bit of less crazy. My husband is a fun-loving, kind husband and father who makes life very fun. I've also got a second edit.
Starting point is 00:38:24 Oh, go on. who makes life very fun. I've also got a second edit. Oh, go on. No, my husband is not on the spectrum of crazy, although I get that that may seem very likely as a valid conclusion of all you know is this one event. The usual dumb shit is more of your everyday impulsiveness, like immediately saying the slightly inappropriate thing that comes to mind. If he would have
Starting point is 00:38:52 done that, it wouldn't have shocked me at all. This of course shocked me because he normally doesn't do things that make him look insane. not sure why some seem to be taking the he often does dumb shit to mean he often does completely insane things when i feel like i was making the exact opposite point oh well glad that most of you uh get some small bit of enjoyment out of your day from this story also we have all we all have our faults I joke about my husband not thinking things through he jokes about my preoccupation with what others think of me etc etc brilliant but um it's a brilliant story as well I think um if i ever did anything so i mean first of all we all know i'd be like oh i don't like it but i think if i ever done anything so stupid i'd go yeah i
Starting point is 00:39:55 tried to throw it out the window because i don't like it i would just don't know which i think would break the ice right i mean if i was you, I'd probably just sit there laughing at you with my mouth open. You'd be going, what were you doing? I remember when we did that, we did a friends group of come dine with me. I remember. Yeah, and... I won. No, Helen won.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Helen didn't win. Helen won. And then we all said... No, you won. No, we all said Helen won because we felt sorry for her because she was pregnant. Remember?
Starting point is 00:40:29 We were all like... Helen won. Helen and James won. We were all like, oh, we were nicer to you because you're pregnant but your food was shit. Do you know,
Starting point is 00:40:38 I still think about her start-up to this day. I don't remember it. Oh my God, it was so nice. It was pesto on that bread thing like I still remember this oh Helen's a really great cook she does really good they just put some pesto on a bit of bread babe like she is yeah I don't know I haven't had a lot and she makes like simple things but I it it's always just so good yeah maybe it's because I didn't cook it um no so you had like you said jamaican yeah which
Starting point is 00:41:08 was fine and you're freaked you're like i don't like spice but it wasn't that spicy no but the start like because obviously this reminds me i don't remember what we did you had half a coconut with prawns in it oh yes it yes. It was like a solid coconut. Yeah, they were fucking coconuts. Yeah, but why didn't you shave the coconut? I mean, what the fuck are we meant to do with, like, half a coconut? Like, fucking scrape it out with our teeth. What was the point?
Starting point is 00:41:35 Oh, it was the bowl. It was designed. It was the bowl, babe. Yeah. You know, because we were going all out on your Maven thing. We had shit up on the wall and everything. We had parrots up in there. Oh, yeah, I don't remember that.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Not more parrots. I remember the doorbell ringing and everyone went like... Yeah, like that. We did lasagna and I spilt that all over. I was absolutely paralytic. I brought that liqueur back
Starting point is 00:42:03 from Tenerife. Yeah. Right, that stuff that I could never drink again Apple Apple what was it yeah yeah so then after you all so we had lasagna I'd my ice cream yeah shot shot shot shot so there and we played some games yeah so then after your when I remember laying get worried case the boys hear it but then after you all went, I remember laying, I get worried in case the boys hear it, but I'm just going to say it. I remember laying on the bed with my thong. I looked at Paul and I went, yeah, do you like me?
Starting point is 00:42:34 While I was puking into a bucket and he went, no, I'm good. Not today, babe. It's a no, it's a negative. Yeah. It's a no. And I was like, and still to this day I can't drink that absolutely ruined me
Starting point is 00:42:50 I do remember you being sick I was absolutely I do remember which was sad because every we used to go to Tenerife every year and then every year
Starting point is 00:42:59 we'd have a bit of that out there but even the thought of it now I'm just like yeah so please excuse all the snotiness i have just got

Starting point is 00:44:02 Oh, I can't believe it. Do you like the saddle?

Starting point is 00:44:29 No, you have them. Dear greedy bridesmaid, this is not your wedding. I think it's safe to post this because it has been more than a few years, but I firmly insist... You're such a loser. But I firmly insist that this... You're going to get really irate about this story. Go on.
Starting point is 00:44:48 Okay. I firmly insist that this is not... That this gets posted outside of Reddit. I firmly insist that this does not get posted outside of Reddit. So are we allowed to read it? It's on Reddit. It's fair game. of reddit so we're allowed to read it it's on reddit it's fair game anyway this one's about my ex-friend who is love an ex let's not like him we've got an ex-friend a mutual ex-friend
Starting point is 00:45:17 it wasn't my fault she's still my friend no she's not she just don't talk to me what do you mean she's cut you out she's still my friend no she's like she's not. She just doesn't talk to me. What do you mean? She's cut you out, though. She's still my friend. Why not be her? No, she's not interested. We don't know what we did. I didn't do nothing. I didn't do anything either. For once, I actually didn't do anything. I had nothing to do with it.
Starting point is 00:45:35 I know. You still got yelled at, though. I always get yelled at. It's always my fault. It's not. It's well funny. Right. I firmly insist that this does not get posted outside of Reddit.
Starting point is 00:45:47 This one's about a now ex-friend who was invited as a bridesmaid. It's a long story and I apologise for my English. If it's bad, names have been changed. Don't worry, love, because I'm not very good at reading. To start, my friend Sarah, who was getting married, and she invited our friend group, who mostly got together in college, yeah? Mm-hmm. To become part of the bridal party,
Starting point is 00:46:15 I was lucky enough to also be invited as a bridesmaid. My ex-friend Leah, who was also invited to be one. Sarah not own a country rich, but is still massively wealthy. And her marriage is to an equally, if not more, insanely rich family. You with me? Yeah. She is also really one of the nicest sweetest people i know none of our friends circle are anywhere close to her financial and social status but she also makes sure to include
Starting point is 00:46:55 us in her life along with her rich friends because she says she connects with us more. She sounds lovely. We have the same hobbies and interests. It's how we all met. Example, in one of Sarah's major birthday milestones, we were all invited to a multi-million worth celebration in a big event location. And we all got a beautiful custom gown for free. Wow. Yeah, Sian's lovely. Why ain't I got a rich
Starting point is 00:47:31 dress? We're going to make it. And we're going to be the rich dress. And we're going to make sure our girls and other people have got everything they need. Yeah, because we're good people. Because we were part of the programme for the dance routine. This is important later.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Anyway, the point is she's a wonderful person who loves us and gives with an open hand. And so for her wedding, she invites our friend circle as part of her bridal entourage interrupt in entourage yeah her bridal entourage at her big wedding what's more all we literally had to do was be there when needed because she and her fiance would be handling all costs it was kind of unbelievable surprise for us sounds lovely sounds amazing well nobody's got to stress them um our now ex-friend leah was also invited as bridal party member we met her as part of our common interest group and she was normal she was all right i always thought but her entitlement started
Starting point is 00:48:46 to show a little when sarah would do things for us sarah used to offer to give us rides home when it was late and leah grew to expect it all the time after she also came by often at Sarah's house, sometimes without warning. She'd just arrive and expect to be welcome and stay all day or sleep over. Leah would also comment during get-togethers like a joke to Sarah like, Is it your treat today? And get all happy when Sarah gives in and says yes she usually does even though the rest of us tell Sarah she didn't have to do that during the birthday I mentioned Leah was super happy to get free fancy gown too and
Starting point is 00:49:41 would tell everyone who'd listen how she sat in front of rich people and celebrities during the holidays. Leah would also talk about how excited she is to receive Sarah's presents for us because she always gives great presents like jewellery, makeup, sometimes gadgets. In our group chat, she dropped lots of hints. Oh, I wish I could have this for my birthday, Christmas, etc. with a picture of an expensive thing. I mean, what a bitch. I mean, honestly, I started to get irate, yeah? It was uncomfortable at times, but I didn't think anything was too harmful or anything during this period because Sarah wouldn't mind or say anything about it. And I thought maybe it was just because Leah didn't have nice things like this growing up.
Starting point is 00:50:38 So she was enjoying it. So when Leah was also part of the bridal party, I didn't think there was anything unusual about that. But in the group chat, before Sarah even told us what she and her fiancé had planned, Leah was already expecting to be part of the bridal party. Of course she was. I thought it would be a red carpet event of the year and already began bragging to other people about being part of it and she even said quote at the price of zero like meaning i ain't got to pay for anything because she didn't expect to pay for anything
Starting point is 00:51:25 or do anything she sounds wonderful literally it was really stressful to see the exact way she talked to Sarah about it Leah wanted the whole bridal party to have a spa day at the
Starting point is 00:51:41 expensive place so they could get beautiful for the big day she was asking about Sarah's plans for bachelorette party and if we would we were going to fly to a different country and how many days it would be the rest of us kind of baffled because we thought that the bachelorette party was supposed to be our job to hold for Sarah, which it is, especially after everything she had done for us. Apparently, Leah expected it to come from Sarah too, like a vacation package. And Leah even warned everyone about her schedule
Starting point is 00:52:23 and that it needed to be a date when she could get some days off from her job so she could be available. That's what days are, people. The days the bitch is at work. And she told Sarah she wanted to come and help pick out a dress so she could give her suggestions.
Starting point is 00:52:42 Huh? Question mark. She... Am I meant to say question mark? I feel like I'm not. Sarah said that she wasn't picking out a dress. A designer was making it, bespoke for her. And Leah went all in, asking which designer it was. It's not a name like Chanel or Dior,
Starting point is 00:53:04 but if I said the name you would recognize the designer immediately what the style was going to be and that she could come to Sarah's fittings so she could supervise around this point some of us started to generally gently remind Leah that it's like going that it's likely going to be Sarah's family to accompany her to that kind of thing and that the dress would surely be beautiful and up to Sarah's wants and we have planned the bachelorette party Leah matter matter of factly said that Sarah could tell her family that she was coming to that they all knew her and that she was Sarah's sister Sarah's sister too okay Leah I did that
Starting point is 00:53:59 said that she was also happy to help with dress ideas for the bachelorette party. I don't know why I struggled with that word. Bachelorette party with full expectations of Sarah to pay for it. I know. Leah was so lost in her own expectations that we opened a separate group chat without her of course they did literally because what the fuck literally literally without her because she wasn't
Starting point is 00:54:36 listening to any of us drawing short straws who's gonna tell us yeah i'd be like i will and apparently apparently i wasn't the only one starting to worry that Leah was getting to be too much. The others pointed out that Leah's actions, even before this, so people have been concerned for years. The note in her. Yeah, demands. And we started to notice the pattern of her being expectant of Sarah all the time.
Starting point is 00:55:09 I mean, I know Sarah might have afforded it all without blinking, but Leah's words and actions felt very entitled all at the same time. Anyway, the problem really started when I reminded the others in the group chat about the bachelorette party plans and how we could pool resources to do a fun thing. Leah would brush it off. Either she would say it was a boring plan and not classy enough for Sarah or she'd want to know why we had to pool money for it
Starting point is 00:55:44 when Sarah could afford it for everyone. I think she's missing the point. She's stressing me out. Or if she wouldn't, someone else from her rich friends could. I tried to say that it was because we wanted to do something fun for Sarah that she likes, that it doesn't have to be an expensive activity. It's about making sure Sarah had a great time after all she's getting married and has always done so much for us. Leah only insisted that it was too low for Sarah to stomp to stoop to. Things like we were planning, which is weird because Sarah already
Starting point is 00:56:28 does things like this and she enjoys them. Because she sounds like a normal person. She sounds like a normal person. And Leah didn't show up to any of the planned meetups either. She was always saying that she couldn't come busy doing something else so we stopped asking her and she didn't intend she didn't intend to contact i know sarah i've known sarah the longest of our friends so i was the most communicative with her about the fun stuff she might want to do for the bachelorette and she was very happy about them so some of us met with sarah and her sister the maid of honor to talk about plans and sarah then asked if we thought leo was maybe acting a little weird
Starting point is 00:57:27 Leah was maybe acting a little weird. We were surprised because she never said anything about it before and Sarah explained that Leah had been bombarding her with messages about the wedding when the rest of us had not heard from her and about all the things that were going to happen, asking for all the details and wanting answers about the bridal party. And Sarah didn't answer. She'd literally come by to Sarah's house. Wow. Yeah. I mean, I still got quite a bit.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Sorry. Her sister Emma also told us that Leah acted funny around her as well, always wanting to know what Emma got to wear and do and had some side comment to say when she found out that the maid of honour got the different dress from the bridesmaids. How she got to sit in a nicer table,
Starting point is 00:58:26 did a different thing in the ceremony and more than once apparently Leah made comments about knowing what a maid of honor does if Sarah needed an understudy or something for the maid of honor it was just Anyway, I don't know what Leah was actually doing all this time because she was always busy for us. But when we met Sarah, we got a lot of planning done and even talked about dresses for each of us bridesmaids. We were going to get. Each gets a different style of dress, but they were all part of the same thing and they were all
Starting point is 00:59:08 bespoke I could have cried because it was easily the most beautiful thing I'd ever worn in my life and the fitting and rehearsal times and day and Sarah seemed to feel a lot better talking to us because she seemed to have been weighing it seemed to have been weighing on her for a while now she started contacting me more and and as we found out later talking to Leah less after one of after one such very funny proactive days the group chat imploded suddenly with leah accusing us of backstabbing her she says that sarah posted about going to a hyper expensive salon with her sister for skincare hair dyeing and that leah didn't know about it and that because we met up with Sarah earlier in the day clearly we didn't tell Leah we didn't tell Leah
Starting point is 01:00:16 about it on purpose none of us knew Sarah was going to do this after the meetup and certainly none of us went with her and we told Leah that and while we while we made her feel a little better she said that she was mad that we didn't tell her about the meeting up with Sarah and we told her we tried but she never available so we stopped asking and she said she would have come if she knew Sarah would have been there well it got worse as it went on Leah came to the rehearsal the whole program set up for the ceremony and reception and we actually needed to participate because it was like a stage performance very pretty for the wedding video and Leah got mad about where she was supposed to go walk and stand
Starting point is 01:01:16 she wanted to be at the head of the line of course she did she's complaining that she wouldn't be seen if she stood next to one of our taller friends. She kind of whined when we got assigned our escorts among the groomsmen and said that she didn't get paired up with the guy who was a bit famous as a celebrity. Stuff like that. I was very worried aboutah because she seems to be getting very stressed out she hates confrontation and finds it uncomfortable with all of this from leah the rest of us tried to herd leah along and to make a laugh out of some of the whining and lighten the mood for everyone. Fortunately, Sarah had a very scary and apparently expensive wedding coordinator and choreographer,
Starting point is 01:02:13 you know the people that... Yeah, choreographer. There you go, who sort of bullied Leah to play. Teverell Schleck. Yeah, Schleck. Shut it. During the practice.
Starting point is 01:02:24 It's not about you. Literally, that's all I would have been saying. Unfortunately, Leah whined about this bullying to Sarah later. Of course she did. Saying her coordinator was mean and how we were supposed to be her friends and were making fun of her when she tried to make light of her complaints bitch it came to a head during the fittings Leah was busy again and would be late and said she would come and demand that we all wait for her because you know it's all about her but we went on we all enjoyed
Starting point is 01:03:07 the fitting because the designer shop was amazing and the people were so nice and adored sarah we got to fit into z some very beautiful dresses which clearly cost a fortune and we couldn't stop thanking Sarah for all that she had done. Sarah was even so thoughtful that she had had each of us wear a jewelled brooch to pin to the sash part of the dress. She sounds so amazing. While we were all fitted we talked about the bachelorette plans and Sarah was very excited about it and said that her fiancé also wanted to make sure us girls got pampered and to get us that getaway Leah initially proposed. Leah arrived in the middle of all this and saw all of us and I swear I'd never seen her look so unhappy to see us. She smiled for Sarah, of course, and wanted to know where Leah's dress was. And oh my God, her face when she saw her dress. You'd think that she'd been offered a potato snack and not a gorgeous designer gown. She wanted to know
Starting point is 01:04:27 why hers was different and was reminded that everyone's was different. She scoured and criticised the dress the whole time. Of course she did. She was getting fitted, wanting alterations, wanting it to look more like Emma's, the maid of honour, and all that. She even said what it was in her colour. The colour is part of the wedding theme. And wanted a different colour. She wanted to know if we got jewellery to go with the outfit. When she got gifted the brooch, the first thing out of her mouth was,
Starting point is 01:05:13 I'm keeping this right. And shocking as that was, because I mean, that was a pricey piece of jewellery right there. a pricey piece of jewellery right there. When Sarah went to give Emma this little tiara, which is sort of the scaled back version of her tiara, she as the bride would wear. Leah asked if she was getting a crown too. Mate, oh my God god where's my crown um i don't know what actually set leah off as far as i know a group of us were just standing sounds like someone said no to the bitch i'm i i would
Starting point is 01:05:58 have had a fight by now we're just standing there cooing at ourselves in the mirror because we all looked as cute in our theme colours and pretty dresses and taking photos. I just know Sarah made a jokey comment about how no one is allowed to post anything yet. Fair enough. No one can show pictures and Leah made a comment back along the lines of this dress being obviously unfinished who would want to post that mate in front of the dressmakers sarah was very shocked and hurt by this because she had picked the styles for each of us
Starting point is 01:06:46 picked the styles for each of us which she thought that we would love and look beautiful in Leah just exploded saying that clearly Sarah was being scammed by the rest of us because Leah got the worst dress and the worst brooch she's uh just like during sarah's birthday event we all had the same dress and how we all been backstabbing her because we apparently made sure that she was never informed about things that we were going to do together um oh my god what a bitch she's not even allowed to show people the dress and jewelry and how she had the worst spot and we were using sarah yeah and how i manipulated sarah to make her stop talking to leah and isolate her from us and to make sar Sarah give her the worst thing out of the group Sarah just melted down and started crying because none of this was true she had tried hard to make everybody look nice and said oh I know and she had honestly given so much and the rest of us
Starting point is 01:08:00 ended up straight up screaming at Leah and telling her that she literally she was greedy and ungrateful and Leah just kept going saying we were all shitty friends to her and always have been because we didn't want to have to have a nice thing excuse me that we work so hard for weirdo that really ended the fitting we apologized millions of times yeah literally we apologized millions of times to the people in the shop and we told leah to leave and she refused until she got her dress and jewelry and shoes because sarah promised that that was hers we called sarah's fiancé to come and pick her up because she was crying so much from all the stress. And when her fiancé arrived,
Starting point is 01:08:51 he saw Sarah in such a state, he asked what happened and Leah started yelling again. And he told her to shut the fuck up. About fucking time. Literally. This is the guy that does not swear normally. He had heard from the groomsmen about Leah acting up at the rehearsals.
Starting point is 01:09:15 He had heard some stuff from Sarah about her and Emma had told him even more. And he, matter of fact, he said that he wanted Leah out of the wedding Lee was so mad and insisted Sarah is the one who wants her at the wedding I could barely believe that she had the guts because she was talking to the groom here or anyways he just told her to shut the fuck up again and that she was out of the wedding demanded that the shop throw her out she didn't put up a fight about the dress and jewelry and then she threatened to make a big social media post exposing all of us about abusing her i was really terrified that she was going to ruin my friend's wedding
Starting point is 01:10:07 and smear her reputation. And she did post, and it was in a friend's locked private post. I didn't know you could do that. So it wasn't public. So I imagine Sarah and her fiancé family threatened her with a lawsuit if she said anything publicly, maybe. I'm not sure. But she was very painting herself as the victim and demanding sympathy.
Starting point is 01:10:41 All I know is... All she's done is demand. Literally. Fucking hell. All I know is that none of us talked to Leah ever again when she tried to talk to us after everything she had said especially when she was asking about times and dates bitch thought she was still going to the wedding um she really thought she was going from mutual friends. She really thought she was still going from mutual friends.
Starting point is 01:11:11 We heard that she kept making the nastiest lock post every time Sarah would make a post. Right. So sorry. She would make a post every time Sarah would make a make a post about her wedding prep about our cheap bachelorette event and got very salty when we did go overseas together good she was silent when the wedding day happened I've not tried to contact her since though recently apparently is a tape is orbiting around our extended friend group probably trying to get back in and like we would let her or even talk to Sarah again but I assure you Sarah and her husband had a wonderful uneventful very fairy tale like wedding beyond wildest dreams
Starting point is 01:12:05 not very happy that was it top comment Leo was never a friend only a user so glad she's out of Sarah's magical wedding day sorry that my reading what What do you reckon? Not someone that would be your friend? I mean, isn't. She's a no. I just don't understand people. I don't understand why someone... Why does she think... Where does she get that entitlement from?
Starting point is 01:12:39 What made her think, for even a split second, that she was more important than the sister being made of honour? Listen. What made her think that she should have had something more than what she had already been gifted? She was just a user. That's it. She was just friends with Sarah because Sarah had money and she wanted to get what she could get. She wanted to be part of the wedding because she'd been near rich and famous people thinking she could make some sort of name for herself or maybe get herself a rich husband.
Starting point is 01:13:11 What was going through her head? I don't know. Because if that's the sort of thing you like and someone's gifting that to you because they're your friend right at some point you've got to realize that actually i'm so very grateful because this isn't a chance i would get without this person the thing is as well like she she went out of her way to get a pacific jewelry pacific dress and all she did was bitch and moan. Are you taking this away? Are we going on holiday?
Starting point is 01:13:49 It's all about me. I'm so wonderful. But actually, no, you're nothing but a using bitch. I mean, me, I would have spotted that a mile off and I wouldn't have kept my mouth shut as long as that. You know I wouldn't. I feel like there would have been more than... That group would have definitely come up quicker than what it did in theirs if it was our group if we had someone in our group doing
Starting point is 01:14:10 that yeah but is it me or does this person seem to be a bit like this literally and i'd be like i'm not being funny why are you i'd be like why are you um here? No, I wouldn't even, I would say, say it was you, and you're rich, as we will be one day, and you've got all of us, and you're doing all this wonderful stuff, and it's fantastic, because you know, no matter who it is in our group, if we had the money, we would all treat each other.
Starting point is 01:14:40 That's just how we all are. But anyway, and then we've got someone in the group going well this isn't good you know I want better I want better I'd be like why are you letting this bitch treat you like that this is actually what's happening that is how I would be coming forward to my friend I would say listen open your eyes babe oh I feel bad you know blah blah feel bad for what for your wealth for your success it's nothing to do with anybody else if you're being genuine genuine say the word for me genuinely genuress no you've said the wrong way in the beginning generous there you go enough generous there you go you know what i mean as a person but if I was at a rehearsal say it's my wedding and we're at a rehearsal
Starting point is 01:15:26 and some bitch honestly Paul's saying I don't want you to get out you're not part of this anymore you ain't the boss to me Ellie wants me here what the actual fuck yeah
Starting point is 01:15:40 what? it ain't your wedding mate it's hers am i what even even if i didn't like my bridesmaid dress never would i make my girl feel away i would say i look beautiful thank you so much do you know what i mean unless obviously it was you know proper obvious but she's had a bespoke dress made for her she's given her jewelry she's taken on holiday oh my god she's like oh look at this look at this laptop send a picture i wish i could have that because i mean it's so obvious it's actually embarrassing i could never i mean i find it too embarrassing i do wonder her doing that sort of thing yeah i wonder what she bought sarah for her birthday oh it would be fuck all
Starting point is 01:16:26 fuck all nothing because it would be nothing i'm telling you it would be nothing or she expects sarah to take them away for sarah's birthday happy birthday yeah you what about me yeah i mean yeah that's what it sounds like, right? But it sounds like, so when it was Sarah's birthday and everything earlier on in the story, she actually made that about her friends. And Christmas would be about, you know, she'd be like, listen, let me do this for you. It's my birthday, let's all go away. Literally.
Starting point is 01:16:59 Let me do this for you. Come with me. Be with me. It's my birthday, let's all go away. I got you this from your birthday. Yeah. Because it special birthday thing is by at least as you know in our group like with baby showers with uh hen stuff we've all done it for each other and we've all taken a fair play like for jenna's once i was there i decided I no longer wanted to participate in the function of the day and got absolutely wrecked but you know up until then I had done you know thank god for Kirby actually
Starting point is 01:17:32 but I had done my part do you know what I mean you have done your part Helen has done her part Sarah has like her part Tasha is that and we have all done that for each other so we do the best that we can we're not frightened to reach out in the group and say can we make this a joint thing to make sure everybody's included I can't afford this all on my own can you girls help chip I really don't understand where this girl is coming from I get it if she's rich and she wants to do certain things for you but to make like it it sounded like she like, don't do nothing without me, yeah? Literally.
Starting point is 01:18:10 On a flip side, guys, we're going out for the dress fittings. Please wait for me because I want to be there too when we all do it together. Right, right. But it just didn't sound like that was her concern. Let's do this together because it's fun together. No, no, let's make it about me. It sounded like she was like, you can't try your dresses on until I've seen my dress first.
Starting point is 01:18:31 Because I am the most important person in this wedding. Oh, I don't want to walk with this. It just doesn't seem like there was excitement in it. That's a celebrity. I've got to walk with a celebrity. Get over yourself. I bet she's a right muntur as well. I visualise, like,
Starting point is 01:18:47 I don't even understand how she's in the group in the first place. And do you know what else as well? If I had a rich mate, if I had one, that tells you none of our friends were all skin. It's the, you know, 2024.
Starting point is 01:19:02 We're all struggling. But if I had a rich mate, I could never expect, first of all, or let someone do that all the time. You know, it'd make me cringe. No, I mean, I very much live by if I can't afford it, I'm not coming out. No, yeah. Or drive, right? Yeah, but, I mean, there's been a couple of occasions
Starting point is 01:19:24 where I haven't got money to put in the tank. To put in the tank, yeah. But if I can't afford to come out, I'm not coming. Yeah. Even when a few of you have been like, don't worry, like, I've got you. But it's like, but that's what I'm saying. Like, for example, that year we went to Bucklings
Starting point is 01:19:41 and you were very much trying to sort out your finances. So we said listen we're we're covering it if you can't afford it when it comes to it we will cover you we've got you because it was it was 30 quid per person that's what I'm saying that's absolutely fine things like that are absolutely we didn't in the end you money you were fine and then who was it next Sarah Sarah yeah and we all said listen I'm fine I'll put in that it's not a problem because we want to be together we want we want to be together but we want to where is that from we want to be together in our being in in um
Starting point is 01:20:20 oh my god I can't even think of it is but you know where it's from something isn't it yeah yeah but sketch comedy sketch yeah but my point is things like that are very different than expecting somebody to take the full right somebody to step in and be like where's my hen do so obviously i need to pay for you all to go away no bitch so even if we're going cryden sort yourself out make make it happen oh my god i know it was a long one as well and in some of the parts like my brain was like that's enough stop reading but um it was a good one she was a i know could never be a friend of mine honestly i'll be mad at any of those girls if they let her back in yeah sarah will because she's a bit of a soft stop she can't help it she don't like the confrontation she'll get her like there is well i think hubby will be like don't let this come back yeah there is one wedding
Starting point is 01:21:16 i've been part of and i'm not gonna say who because i'll give the game away but basically put it this way i can't it's not right but basically this way i'm involved in this wedding yeah and one of the bridesmaids when they turned up had a few comments and i was like and i got told to be nice so i was nice i'll tell you when we're off air I know I know which story that is but yeah I was mad mad because it's meant to be a happy day it's not about you you're going to have to get over yourself and move on
Starting point is 01:21:53 because this is the beautiful bride and we're going to make that perfect for them as best we can and we're going to be calm all the way through and we're going to panic behind the scenes because she don't need to see us doing that oh oh and we're going to be calm all the way through yeah that's our job that is the panic it's behind the scenes because she don't need to see us doing that oh oh it's literally you know i mean another
Starting point is 01:22:10 job another job well it was a job another wedding we've been involved in that we've worked in together you the photographer me doing the hair that was another situation that could have been very tense but we decided that it wasn't going to be, and it was all wonderful, and we had a lovely time. It was. Yeah. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it.
Starting point is 01:22:32 I had a great time. But you could let things, but it's definitely not my style. Definitely wouldn't have a friend like that. Yeah, a wedding ain't the one where you you get on your fucking high horse and make it about yourself yeah it could never be unless you're the fucking bride yeah then i can tolerate if you if you were even going too far as the bride i'd still tell you about yourself i'd be like you want to rain your neck in love you ain't that special it's like that story we did about the person that wouldn't let the mum-in-law see the baby you ain't that special get over yourself millions of women have babies every day he is much as a part of that you know
Starting point is 01:23:11 get over yourself right but i've realized that your coffee might go on my carpet there's no well there's a little oh my god oh my god he's got like the best like Coffee might go on my carpet. There's no, well, there's a little bit in there. Oh my God. Oh my God. He's got like the best bike. Wow. What do you think of that? What don't you think of that? I think that girl has got everything that she needs.
