Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah yeah, all right, okay Mohamed, Okay, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Interesting all right, So this is from Caitlyn.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Hey Caitlyn, she.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Says, hijaz Ellen Robin. I just started binge, watching Potomac
and binge listening to Reasonably Shady as well as on
the Patreon. Thank you for our Patreon honors. Honestly, it's
all I listened to in my car to and from work.
My name is Caitlin and I'm writing and for some
friendship advice, Robin, and I actually got a cameo from

(06:44):
you asking for advice. So here's more backstory. So, long
story short. I have a friend of over twelve years.
It started at my birthday dinner where she chose to
stay at the original restaurant and text me saying she
wasn't coming as she had dinner around the corner with
another friend two and a half hours in. Who So,

(07:07):
two and a half hours in of your birthday dinner,
your friend said she's not coming. Good lord, she's around
the corner with another friend, dag. Since then, there have
been scheduled hangouts. But then she canceled on me and
gave me a story and posted a different one on
her Instagram. Okay, so she told you one thing and

(07:28):
then on Instagram she's posting something else.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
I never really told her how I felt, and when
I did, I was met with that she only had
time in her life for two people, an old friend
she hadn't talked to in year's and her ex fiance ah,
and I was not one of them. Dang, I haven't
talked to her since this, which was in May, would
it be reasonable to give her another chance now that
she's come back into my life. Thanks for your advice

(07:53):
in a van.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
No, No, we ain't given us whole another chance. She
didn't showed you who he is who she is, and
we gotta believe my Angelou and open one free. Yes,
we're gonna believe who she is, which is a hole.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, I don't like that. I mean,
y'all were friends for twelve years and then she threw
you to the side for other people.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
And it was your birthday.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
It'd be one thing if it was like a random
like we're just getting together for lunch. It was your
birthday and she blew you off to go around the
first of all, how did you find out she was
around the corner? I have lunch somebody else, right, Like,
that's so crazy, Like, no, do not take her back
because she is going if she that, because that speaks
to character, and when someone shows you their character, their
character is hard to get better.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Right, So, no, she's not your friend.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
And then going to tell her she only had time
for two people in her life.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah, And so now now that she's no longer with
the fiancee.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
Fiance is an act.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
So now that she not booed up, she wanted to
bring her girlfriends back on her lime. Yes, yes, no
boot tomato tomato. Okay, this is some Sean Brown. Hi, ladies,
it's your friend Sean from Germantown. Dude, do we have
a friend named Sean from Germantown?

Speaker 2 (09:09):
We do?

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Now, it's because he acting like he writes us every day,
like Sean, we don't know who you are, but he's
saying that he's he's our friend.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Now, okay, he's our friend. We're friends.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
We love you, Sean, our new friend Sean does that.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
I'm watching episode one nine, your birthday episode, and I
wanted to follow up to see if Roger Rabbit aka
the Man with No Teeth ever hit you back. Okay
he said he's watching. Oh he's watching on YouTube. That's
what threw me up.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
I'm like, yeah, I was confused. Okay, so yes, actually
actually Sean, his name was Sean. Is this him?

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Oh shit, I pray not see from Germantown?

Speaker 3 (09:55):
So embarrassing. No, he might. Oh shit, I'm scared. I'm
scared to answer this question.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Okay, so after our date, yes, he did reach out.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Okay, give backstory for people who don't remember.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
So I went out with this guy and it turned
out that he had a dental issue, which was he
went to the dentist, I guess to get his teeth
and they weren't ready to give him his teeth, and
so he left with no teeth. And then he decided
to meet me for a date.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Like I was so crazy.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
So then he's like, I got something to tell you.
As we was like set down and I'm like what,
he was like, well, you know, I don't have my teeth.
What what am I here?

Speaker 2 (10:41):
No teeth? Sout?

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Why am I here?

Speaker 1 (10:45):
It's so not gold. It was so a waste of
my time. Okay, So anyway, yes, after that, he informed
me that he got his teeth. Okay, he wanted to
take me out on a teeth date, like you know, yes,
and I was not interested.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Oh you weren't.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
I didn't say nothing. I don't know. I think I
just did them.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yes, but like, come on, you have to put your
best foot forward in dating one on one, and this
is the first day you do not you cancel.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
You only give one chance to make a first impression.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
And that was like whoa baby.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
That's crazy because my position is like, what were you thinking?

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Why would you even leave the house with no teeth?

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Right?

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah, why are you leaving the house? So yeah, no,
are you gonna like, I don't know. It just speaks
to other things that you might do that you think.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
You're okay to do. It's not okay.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
So yeah, and his name is Sean, So I hope
if this is all the same person, I'm embarrassed.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Well, you let him know I did.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
This was your way of letting them know.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Yeah, all right, we're out of here. Guys. We love y'all.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
