In this episode from 2025, Lisa revisits who owes who an apology—and why we’re all overthinking it. After Lisa spirals for a full week over whether she offended a student (who, it turns out, was completely UNoffended), the crew breaks down the difference between accountability and straight-up codependency. Along with Celia and Nick, Lisa gets into why over-apologizing can be just as annoying as never apologizing; how “I’m not confrontational” is usually just fear in disguise; and why most of the tension you feel with other people is probably something you just made up in your head. Plus, the crew answers listener questions about workplace awkwardness, backhanded compliments from family, and what to do when you can’t stop replaying a conversation. If you’ve ever drafted a fake apology, assumed someone secretly hates you, or said “sorry” five times in a row for no reason, this episode might be the reality check you need.

Lisa Lampanelli is not a licensed therapist or life coach.
She is a meddling advice giving yanta and know it all,
and her words come from her head, her heart, and
often out of her ass. His podcast should not be
misconstrued as therapy. I should be taking with a huge
strain of salt for entertainment purposes only.

(01:00):
world of entertainment. Welcome to Shrink This with Lisa Lambinelli,

Speaker 5 (01:07):
And I'm not.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Even sorry I'm here with who introduce yourself?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
It's me. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
It's all right. You may wicked your ass off, you're
late to the party, but I love it. This is
Nick scope Letti, my unpaid, untalented sidekick, loser friend. And
of course we're here with Celia the much Belieguered, the
much maligned producer who is put upon and constantly changing
(01:41):
your footwear because of my demands. So congratulations, you've upped
your game this week.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
I appreciate who said talk so to send us a letter.
This is again a podcast where we give advice. It
might not be good good, it might be a little good,
it might be fully bad. But to at least get
your question on the air or have a chance to
(02:09):
send it to shrink this show at gmail dot com.
That is shrink this show at gmail dot com. If
you haven't listened to all our other episodes, listen now.
Not like we're not gonna say the same shit we
say every other time. Correct correct, correct from the show. Yeah,
(02:30):
oh it's doing so, it's killing it. We've had four
episodes and four downloads. Not gonna breast.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Though, It's so true.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Now, Nick, our subject everywhere. I'm not apologizing for that.
I'm not because it is a human function to cough.
And I will say that is what our show is about.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
This episode.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
As you know, every episode, we take one issue that's
been plaguing me over the week and had letters from
people talking about and asking advice on, and we are
dissecting it to the best of our ability. So this
issue we're going to talk about today, I will set
up by saying I teach, as Nick knows, I teach
stand up and storytelling at a college in Connecticut.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Now these are not children.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I would say they are eighteen, nineteen twenty. The oldest
student's twenty six, but he's remedial. I know, disgusting. I
hate higher education for elders. Leave it to the kids.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
There are future.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
So anyway, I'm teaching class and there's one student. I
can't use his name obviously he's named after let's just
say a town in Texas, so let's call him Houston.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
He is.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I had him last semester, I have him this semester.
He is literally my favorite student, hands down. He probably
is every teacher's favorite student because he's very open. He's
a great actor, he has a good sense of humor
run him, and he can make fun of himself.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
So I all week.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
So I taught him last Thursday, and all week I
have been torturing myself because I'm like, oh, we were
pretty joky last week in class, and by we, I
mean he and I. But of course my jokes always
tend to be insulting, which is terrible, and I apologize,
but too bad. And I made a living so he
(04:28):
said something about wanting to work on a stand up
bit about being quote non athletic, and like, if you've
ever seen a kid who's non athletic, it's this kid.
He has a five inch thigh gap, he's like one
hundred and twenty pounds. So all we were joking about
non athleticism during the class.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
So I figured, oh, he opened the door.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
So when someone else said about being non athletic, I
would just joke about Houston. I would say to him, well,
if you want to see a real non athlete looking
over further than this guy or whatever it was, and
he would laugh.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
So I'm leaving school that day.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
I'm take the elevator down to the garage, and I'm like,
did I hurt his feelings?
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Oh? My god, I hurt his feelings? Uh? Oh, I better?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
What do I do? What do I do? I know
what I'll do. I'll overcompensate and I'll because I know
it's like in his best interest, because I feel when
someone hurts your feelings, you should tell them. So he's
a kid, though, so I figure, is it my job
as a human to apologize because he's younger than me?
(05:34):
Or should I not interrupt? His journey to adulthood by
being like, he should bring it up, So instead I
didn't either. I overcomplimented him in an email to try
to make up for this supposed error that I made.
So I said him this great email about how I
loved having him class and oh my god, I'm so
proud of him and all the growth he's had and
(05:56):
never heard back. So I've had six days of living
neck aches, back aches, torture about should I bring up
to him, Hey, man, if I hurt your feelings, I'm
really sorry.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
But then the art.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Of part of me is like, well, isn't it his job?
Speaker 6 (06:12):
So I want to do an.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Episode today on whose job is it to apologize or
bring to someone's attention that an apology is needed.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
I've had been.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
On the receiving end of a lot of codependency work
where they clearly state, you know, in twelve step programs,
it's that person's job to tell you what they need.
But is that harder for some people? What's the deal?
So I'm still, even at sixty three years old, kind
of going, oh, maybe I have to step in and
(06:45):
just kind of like take responsibility first, Have you had
this stuff happen to you, Nick.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I mean, I'm pretty perfect. I've never oh yeah, done anything.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Wrong that is true.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Ever, I've had a little bit of it. I would
say I definitely get in modes where I know that
feeling when you're talking about like torturing yourself. Yeah, Like
if it would be like a conversation for me would
probably be like a conversation or something I said to
someone at work and like whatever. Then I would go
home and I'd be.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Like, ah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And then you don't see him for a while, and
then you're.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Like yeah, and every time you see him there's a
perceived coldness, like you whether that's just our projection, Yeah,
it's like no, maybe they were just like not in
the mood to talk that day, but we take it
it's all self focused in making ourselves the center of
the world, because here I am thinking this kid gives
a shit about me for seven days and hasn't answered
(07:40):
my complimentary email back when he's just like a college
kid who's busy and.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Might not be hurt, right, you know.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I remember, Yeah, I have a friend who's been sober
for got thirty something years, so he's worked a lot
of these codependency issues out and even he falls prey
to it. I remember, I was always joking I have
a third rescue dog named Pete, who's legitimately like, I mean,
as dumb as you get. So I was telling my buddy,
(08:08):
who's sober. I was telling him, Oh my god, this
dog is so dumb, but he's so adorable and so happy.
I got him like me, and yeah, kind of like
a little lap dog like you. So he sends me
this really funny meme of uh chihuahua, which PD is.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Sends me a meme of.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
A Chihuahua like very like bumping into a wall, like
very special needsy.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
So it was really funny, like it was just like
when my dog narded.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
So I didn't see it because I didn't go on
Instagram for a little while. And I get a text
from him two days apparently after he sent it, and
he goes, listen, I just want to say, I know
we were joking about PD, but it was way out
of line for me to send you the meme where
I probably hurt your feelings about this dog thing, And
(08:52):
I go, oh, I just didn't see it. So even
a guy who's worked on themselves relentlessly for forty years
thirty years, whatever it is still falls prey to the
oh my god, I have to torture myself over this thing.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
And one basically if that hurt my feelings.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
It's fine, it didn't, it would be my job to say, hey, man,
I know we get around, but like if that's a
little tender, don't joke about that, right. But it's a
really slippery slope. So even the people have the most
inside who are the most you know, the people in
your life who's worked on themselves the most, even they
fall prey to that.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, I have to like work if I'm upset about
something or in an argument with someone, I have to
like work to like I've worked out all It takes
like a few days. I'll work out all the scenarios
in my head and yeah, mad, And it's like this
person they fucked me.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
By like two days later you go up to and
I'm just like, hey, that my bad was this is
like in a bad mood, I'm sorry I said that, etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Like it's just like and do they act like do
they even know what you're talking about?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Sometimes yes, for sure, Like that there was one in
the in a actually yesterday at work, I was on
my phone. It's a girl but started talking to me
and I didn't hear because I was on my phone
and she's very pretty girl and she was like nick
and I was like what. She goes and she's like,
I was talking to you. I go, oh, it is
the first time a guy hasn't paid attention to you ever.
(10:14):
And I got real okay, and she goes, well, it's
that listens like it's that time of the month. I go,
you still get those I thought you were in your
And I was like, okay, we got a.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Your problem is your funny, That's the problem.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
And I fucking started and then literally she but she's cool,
thank god, And literally like three minutes later, I went
over her and I got to stand up, give me
a hugger. I'm really sorry.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Oh so your molested on top of it?
Speaker 5 (10:36):
See actually me to do it?
Speaker 6 (10:38):
Yeah, affection.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
She was like, no, I'm just in a bet. We
both apologize to each other, but like it was in
three minutes.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
And I was like, it is best to kind of
just nip it in the.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Bud one hundred percent because I know that feeling of
like stewing and then your like you said your body
starts to ache and ship.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Oh my god, everything hurts, and I'm like, oh, it's shocking.
I threw out my back and my neck because I'm
afraid a nineteen year old upset about me and probably
never read them.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
So I go like, ye constantly.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Yeah, So I send him the thing, and but the
fact that then he ignores it because I'm like, well,
the minute he writes back, I'll feel better. So it's
almost the universe telling me like, no, you got to
make this better within yourself. So either have the balls
to send a real email or talk to him and say, hey, man,
you know, I know we get joking in class, but
(11:26):
I feel I may have been on the line and
have him be an adult.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
And say it.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
But then, of course, from day to day, the next
day it's like, listen, man, fuck that kid. Let me
tell you something. First of all, answer a teacher when
they send you an email. Second of all, how about
you don't be a pussy and you say excuse me,
miss so, and so that hurt my feelings because that's
obviously the most respectable way to act, right, And then
(11:51):
I go by of course, the fourth day, I'm like
just spinning and then yesterday I knew I was going
to see him, and I said, you know what, I'm
going to show up early, and I'm going to say
can I speak to you? And I'm going to be
the adult idiot, even though it's codependent, and say, gosh, Houston,
I really hope I didn't hurt your feelings last week.
(12:13):
That would really, you know, that would be terrible for
me to do.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
So are you okay?
Speaker 4 (12:20):
So instead what happens is I don't get there early.
I self sabotage that move because, oh god forbid, you
don't drive through a place and get your big diet coke.
And then he came a little.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Late to class.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
I'm like, damn it, and I figure, I know, we'll
walk to our carns together and I'll sus it out.
I'll suss out the situation. I go down, I'm so,
how is your week great? And he goes, you know,
I got your email congratulating me about at school. I
just didn't know what to say, so I just ignored it.
(12:54):
And I was and I go, no, that's fine. I go,
you could usually just say thank you, I said, or
ignore it is fine, and goes, well, I just didn't
know what to say.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
I'm uncomfortable with.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Compliments, so I'm thinking I worried a week that I
was This kid was mad that I was mean to him.
Apparently he doesn't like compliments either, So you can't win
with this fucking kid.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
I think what we're saying.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Is this fuck I hate him right now. But yeah,
it's like it's such a slippery slope of like knowing
what's right. Like that whole thing in codependency where they
talk about no is a complete sentence.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
So basically, suppose.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
My idiot I don't have idiot friends like this, but
supposed like, oh no, no, no, I mean idiot friends
like this who want you to go on a trip
with them and you just don't want to go.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
In codependency work, you just have to say no. You
don't have to say no.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
I don't want to know that timing isn't right for me. No,
it doesn't sound like my thing. People should be able.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
To accept a no.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
And as old as I am and as much as
I work on myself, I don't think I've ever been
able to leave it at a no.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
It's too hard.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
So those things about not apologizing even though you.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Think you hurt.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
So many feelings are just being blunt and saying nope.
That is almost impossible. You know, I had to turn down.
I got invited to a wedding in the summer, and
I don't want to go because it's too far. There's
a lot of plane transfers. I'm trying to cut down
on activity this year. I'm just trying to be a
lot more mindful of what I say yes to. And
(14:27):
I had to be super careful how I worded the
reply to the invitation, because I was like, I want
to just go nope, but that's not how you keep
friends either.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
And do I owe them an explanation?
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Not really, but they at least deserve a no. I
wish I could attend, However, this doesn't work for me.
Can't wait to celebrate with you in person, but it's
hard to just leave it at these blunt rules that
we know are correct.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Thumbs down emoji in there. You both should really one
gift of the guy from Gladiator just going o cauld.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
I just send them like a egg.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Plant all the time.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Well, I know, and poop an eggplant and a poop.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Egg plant, poop rainbow. What else? That's really a water
emoji sometimes well.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Ps, wait, I just started ignoring you and I'm not apologizing.
What what would you rather be? Err on the side
of the person who anticipates, hey, I'm countable to myself
and I may owe them an apology, or the person
who's like, well, it's up to them, Like, who would
you rather be?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I think it really it so depends on the situation,
But I would say I would probably be the person
who would be Now, I would be the person and
more likely to be like, hey, I'm sorry and apologize
and just make it all good, even if I still
have a little bit of like, you know, you were
fucking wrong there, but I'll still I would rather do
that because I used to do be the opposite way.
(15:58):
Just hold grudges and I can hold them.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
But but but, but that's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I'm not saying it's a grudge to hold on to
that fear that they are withholding some kind of there's
a little nick in the friendship, a little like it's
a little scar that kind of like they're letting fester.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah. No, I would be more likely to apologize and
bring it up now back in the day.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
I know, why aren't they all just fucking man up.
Why aren't they all woman up? Tit up, dick up.
I was like, I honestly wish it was a perfect
world that everyone could just say, hey, man, that hurt
my feelings. It's the best. Because I recently did that
(16:49):
to somebody.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
I think it really threw them off.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Like people are not used to people just going hey,
you know that kind of hurt. Oh, I'm sorry, you're mad?
I go, no, I'm not mad, it just hurt. Yeah,
and they don't don't know what to do with it.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
But that's hard to say too. That's vulnerable saying I'm
hurt versus I'm mad.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yea too is people are like, oh, I could say
things and joke around with her and blah blah blah,
and so they get excited to do it.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Yeah yeah, not really no place.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Cut?
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Actually actually not anymore.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
I mean, if you want to see it all come out, Yeah,
I went I did a sorry not sorry recently because somebody.
It was in class one day, my adult stand up class,
and I don't God bless them, but there was this
one woman and she was really pushing back on advice
and I'm like, well, why are you paying for the class.
(17:45):
And then I said, look, after like twelve pushbacks, I said,
you know what, honestly, if this doesn't work for you,
maybe this isn't the class for you. And then I
go sorry, and then I go, wait a minute, I'm
not sorry. I go I think what I just that
you was perfect? So I take my sorry back.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
And then Lisa was like, you should kill yourself?
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Lady, Well, yeah, how dare you?
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Nick? Suicide is a big bad topic.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
So if you have a question for us right to
shrink this show at gmail dot com?
Speaker 6 (18:18):
That shrink this show at gmail dot com.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
And Nick, do you have some letters for people who
are apologetically does there?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Does?
Speaker 6 (18:26):
I hate them all already? Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Okay, all right, so Lisa, I love you so much.
My name's Andrew.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Oh gosh, okay.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I'm writing from Denver, Colorado.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
Rocky, fuck you.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I've been overthinking this situation with my coworker. I think
I might have upset her during a meeting last week
when I disagreed with her about a plan for a rollout.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Skinny's very technically, it's a lot of business.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yeah, the our didn't business? Spread cheek, spread your cheeks?
She hasn't said anything to me about it, but she
has also been seemingly avoiding me. Ah, bring it up
and risk making it weird, or just assume she's fine.
I hate leaving things unresolved, but maybe I'm just making
(19:19):
it worse by obsessing over it.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Yeah, this guy's between a rock and hard place. Nick,
let me see that letter in person. Walk that thing
over here. No, I want to come on and look
at those thighs rubbing together.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Listen this guy.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
First of all, I love that he at least calls
himself out on his overthinking because I was obsessing about
this stuff too. I get it, and he is making
it worse by obsessing over it. Like literally, in my
situation last week, it could have been like, Okay, you
know what you're gonna say, You're gonna apologize on Thursday,
and let's move on with our life. But of course
(19:57):
that doesn't happen. So I get where he's coming from.
This whole thing about she's seemingly avoiding me, Like, but
is she.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Like in your head?
Speaker 4 (20:10):
I know so much of this is just imagined. I
used to have a notebook that on the cover it
said list of imagined slights, so meaning like, what do
people say that they actually didn't mean anything?
Speaker 6 (20:23):
But I'm going to keep a list and keep it
tally of who's the.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Asshole and I hate them? Okay, So I don't know
with him, I think honestly, if the price of keeping
it inside is more than the price of asking, you
got to figure out which gives you less pain exactly.
So you're overthinking, you're obsessing. Do we morally know that
(20:46):
it's her job to come up to you and say, hey, man,
that was kind of bad. I wish we could talk
about it. Sure, But if it's going to ruin your
week and you're not emotionally there have done the work
to get emotionally out of that habit, then just go
up to her and be like, hey, can we talk
about what happened in the meeting last week?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah? I would say that, go up to her, address it,
get it out in the open. Also to my question
would be what is his relationship with her besides work?
Like is it like a friend? Does he really care
about her? Does he have to work with her a ton?
Does she have power over him? Like? What's the dynamic?
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Like?
Speaker 6 (21:21):
So much is not being unsaid.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, it's just like I don't know, like I think
Belie is right, like, just go and address it. See
where you're at. Oh, it's just a close friend or
something like. What's I don't know the dynamic here.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
I just think I live in a fantasy world of
going wow, I wish they I think if all people
just went up to each other, that would be great,
but they're not gonna. And the tenseness and that whole
tension around the office. Oh and then just go in
every day and be like, oh God, does she hate me?
And is that our problem?
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Yeah? Yeah, it is. Our problem is giving a shit
if people hate us?
Speaker 4 (21:57):
When he clearly probably did nothing wrong, like he disagreed
with her for a plan for a rollout spreadsheet, PowerPoint
whatever it is.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
What is the rollout about?
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Yeah? Can you right back to us, Andrew and tell
us what in Denver, Colorado are you rolling out?
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Other than joints.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
That's all they do, is they smoke the pot. Because
when I was the last time I played in Denver
before my retirement, I remember I said, when I was
on stage, I said, could the lights go up please?
And of course the big pothead who was running the
lights of the theater was outside smoking a dube and
I said, denver to me, So you know, when Andrew
(22:36):
just die and go smoke the pot next letter?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Fuck you? All right? So, dear Lisa, in the past year,
I've lost twenty five pounds. Yoh, bet talk about to
find gravity. Oh, I feel much better about myself. Last
week I saw an at that I'm not crazy about.
H We've all been there.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
And not with a capital C. No fist bumps, no shocks.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Hell yeah. And she told me how much better I look,
and that she couldn't believe how big I allowed myself
to gets.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
She has. I thought I apologized about this already.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
But.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Oh my god, I feel like that was way out
of line. But I don't think she has any idea,
which she doesn't.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
No, she does not.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Should I call her and ask for an apology and
explain why I'm hurt. I'm not a confrontational person, so
what the fuck do I do about it?
Speaker 6 (23:31):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (23:32):
I was with her till the not confrontational part. I
so object strongly to the I'm not confrontational, which means
you need to grow the fuck up and if something
bothers you or hurt you say something that is just
giving yourself the chance to build tons and years of
(23:54):
resentment and be angry internally and hold on to all
of it instead of everything. Isn't a confrontation. It's just
a discussion. It's just a conversation. So if I I
remember once I was meeting with you and Andrew and
Bow that, these guys that we ostensibly write with every week,
(24:14):
and I remember I was like, I'm mad at Bo,
And I said to you and Andrew, wait in your
cars because I got to talk to him about something.
And I'm like, there should be no fear about bringing up, hey, Bo,
what you did. I didn't like, let's talk about it.
Obviously you didn't do it in front of you guys,
And they just told you guys about it later and
we all laughed. But that's not confrontational. There's not two
(24:37):
types of people, those of us who don't like confrontation
and then co opt everybody to tack of our feelings
where we resent them, or people who just bull in
a china shop going and be like, look, motherfucker. Like
there's that in between ground of just going hey, aunt,
let's make it aunt, Lisa, because that sounds like something
I would have said years ago, like now I know better.
(25:00):
Now I know like no, because also, like you know
who says less weight equals more attractive, Like it's just
like fat phobia.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
It's just bullshit. So how about you say you.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Look great, how you feel in whatever? So anyway, years ago,
I would have definitely been like, dude, you fucking let
yourself go?
Speaker 6 (25:19):
What the fuck?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Many hung those kids wit hang like if that was
me and some and also these aunts though are formidable,
Like there is a certain fear level of some of
these elder relatives because you're like, oh my god, she's
gonna yell at me, she's gonna be mad at me.
I often wonder I'm the Peppa person if I hurt
(25:43):
someone's feelings, I'm formidable. So I don't know. If they
would tell me they'd be afraid, I'd be like, ah,
fuck you, And I honestly wouldn't. I wouldn't start crying
white girl tears of like and make it about me.
I'd be like, oh man, I'm really sorry that hurt
you know how like white women always have to cry
about It's like how to just switch to your issue now?
Speaker 6 (26:01):
Now I have to feel sorry for you.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
So if that was me, I would love if Denise
could come up to me and say, gosh, I'm not
usually comfortable with conversations like this. I fear confrontation, but.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
You hurt my feelings.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
When you said I looked terrible before or whatever the
verbiage was, I'd be like, oh my god, I didn't
intend that.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Look, that would be so mature and great. But if
you're going to write your story is I'm not confrontational.
You'll never have a confrontation, you'll never have an equal friendship,
you'll never have an equal marriage, and you'll just be
a doormat. That is my feelings, and I'm right. So
you know what, go eat yourself to death. Sacramento Mallory.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
That was the name. I forgot to read it.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
I love that. I mean, what do you think? I
mean the aunt? What the aunt did was inarguably wrong.
What we know what the aunt did was in arguably.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
I I I have. It's weird because I with my family,
I have the hardest boundaries of all time. Like if
they say shit or anything, that's gonna interfere. But like
I will for a sports reference, I'll stiff arm those
fuckers to the ground, get away from me.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
We only have women and gay men listening to this.
So I hope you're happy.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
I hope you're happy now that.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
But at the same time, like I understand it, it's like,
what's it gonna you know when you say, even aunt,
you're not crazy of Maybe you apologize and it makes
your guys relationship better. That's true. It could maybe you
apologize and she's like, oh, what are you want of
those liberals?
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Those good fatties are good too, chicks.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
How does she turn into Jennifer Cooler?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
But I mean also too, Like if it's an aunt,
that's like, say, this is a grown woman, I would
assume So for aunts like in her seventies.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
They're not gonna know. Sometimes you just got to the
old people.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
That pass him benefit of the doubt. Man, Like at
some point it's like, are you gonna call up your
seventy five year old great aunt and be like, you
know what you said? Just let them.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
I remember years ago when my mother said to me,
my mother would always joke around about how lousy my
boyfriends were.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
Yeah, and it was like hurt my feeling says, it's
clearly this is years.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Ago, like before I dated somebody decent and I clearly
picked badly and she was worried. But every time she
said it, I'd feel worse about the choice I made.
And that sounds like what's going on with Mallory because
she feels bad that she she knows internally she didn't
like herself at the other weighth and it makes her
(28:45):
feel like shit.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
I did let myself go, and I.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Wish I hadn't. I was like, I wish I hadn't
dated those kind of guys. It just reminds you of
your past and how it was ugly. So I remember
saying to my mother. I just said one day, I said,
you know, I really wish you wouldn't bring up guys.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
It makes me I can't.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Believe I said it, because talk about formidable like you
think I'm tough. My mother, would you send it in
shut up bah blah, but she would.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
I said that, I go, you gotta stop.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
I go.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
I don't like that.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
I said, I don't date guys like that anymore. So
it makes me feel bad that you say that. Yeah,
and she never did it again. There's something about even
tough women like me and her that you tell us
and we fucking remember so those non confrontational people. I mean,
it'd be great if you could stop writing the story
(29:36):
of like you're the victim and don't like to come
from people. It's just like educate us instead in what hurts.
Like if you said to me, even though we joke
a lot, if you said, you know, I know my
mom died when I was six, and I joke about it,
but you know, if you joke about it, it hurts, I'd
be like, oh shit, like I would never forget that again.
(29:57):
I would it would never happen again like that.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Like again, the intent like like you and your mother
are like like she was just saying it to be
like having fun and joking around. Yeah, and that's the
same thing with you. Like everything you said. That's why
none of us, like Bo and Andrew and all of us, like,
none of us take it because we're like this is fun,
like this means right whatever, But yeah, the intention is
(30:21):
never to hurt someone, like you know, someone like your
mother was like, like you said, you told her once
you are, I'll never forget I love you, and you're like,
please don't say that, and she was like good, all right, cool.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
And I think It's like being an adult means having
those hard conversations. So I think the more this girl grows,
she'll be like, well, you're not either yes, confrontational or
not at all. You're somewhere in between of like educating
people how to treat you.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
That's all it is.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
And then if the aunt's still a cunt, you just
write her off or you say, well, you know what, Yeah,
I guess I can't trust you with my feelings anymore.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Yeah, they're just like, you know, put a little, don't
salt the steps next time it snows.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
I love that an old people injury fully advocates for that.
Got one more, We got one more?
Speaker 6 (31:09):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
I better like them better than that fat hole.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
See this is James from Manitoba.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Oh my god, Canadia, Canada. I love them so.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Dear Lisa, my wife has brought to my attention that
I apologize too much.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
Oh god, I hate that type of part.
Speaker 6 (31:26):
Sorry Celia.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
That Celia, even men do it.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
Supposedly sight this do I reach for the thing?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Says something? Well, then I think that that man needs
to be my husband's.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
Then we apologize to each other, Oh.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
My god, and you would be the couple no one
wants around exactly. No, I'm sorry, dependent okay, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
So my wife brought to my attendency. I apologize too much,
she says. We'll be out to dinner, and if the
waiter comes over and I'm not ready to order, I'll
say sorry four or five times, and then it makes
the person uncomfort. I feel like people don't apologize enough.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Oh god, so he's overcompensating for they are so nice
a different breed, Nick, That's the only place I ever
played where in an autograph line they're like, thank you,
miss Lampinelly, thank you, miss lamps and ps. Then I
instituted that elsewhere. I said it is not.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
Lease, it's miss Lampinelly.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
You say.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
Later face, and said, how did you let yourself go
your fat hunt?
Speaker 6 (32:32):
Go ahead?
Speaker 2 (32:34):
He says he feels like people don't apologize enough that
it's appreciated, no matter how many times I say it.
What do you think?
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Because it becomes meaningless as fuck. All the I'm sorries
they add up to one big Hi.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
I'm a people pleaser.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
HI like me, like me, like me, like me, like me?
If you're not, I get saying once to the you
know what actually I get saying it to the waiter
if they've come back like three times in a half
hour and you're like, oh, I'm sorry, we're you know,
we talk a lot. There's this one restaurant that me
and my friend go to in Madison, Connecticut, beautiful, rich
(33:10):
people town. No, when we go there once every couple
of weeks and have dinner for five hours, they know
that they know now not to even ask us what
we want until an hour in because they know we're
not even gonna have looked at the menu yet. But
if you're not in a place where they know that,
and they're coming back and just trying to do their job,
I get after like the third time, being like, oh,
(33:31):
I'm sorry, man, we're a little different. We talk a
lot first, and we'll give you a signal. But the
weird people pleasy, manipulative, I'm sorry, is just sound a
little cloying, and they lose meaning.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
I don't either.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
I mean, honestly, it's like when a woman does it.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
I'm like, it's low self esteeming.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
It's not great. When a guy does it, I really
hate ith.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Yeah, Well, because women, we can almost underst stand it,
how you know, with the patriarchy. We've been conditioned to
be apologetic in general.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
But shut up. There such a non bro.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
And so we kind of get it. But with men,
you go, hmmm, wow, that poor guy. Let's see what's
inside that vault.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Yeah. Yeah, if I could put a little just like
a little bow on it. This is something I think
about all the time since I've met Lisa. So since
I met you, of you've been very upfront about your
emotions and been very direct and things like that. And
you know, I've been at therapy and worked on myself
and I've found that it in a way, and I
(34:39):
know these people are in their heads and they're overthinking things,
but being more direct just overall for me in any regard,
whether it's apologizing or anything else, has made me feel
more relaxed and freer than probably in my life.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
So that that was one thing that just came to
me that I was like, I need to say this,
because that was I would have avoided everything at all
costs or been like it's there. Yeah, I'm just guarding
the shit out of my emotions all day. So I
think being direct about it and just being honest about
your feelings no matter what the situation. No matter who
it's with, there are situations, maybe like with the old aunt,
(35:12):
you're like whatever, she's eighty, Yeah, she'll it's fine, right,
I get it. But I think overall being able to
address it and apologize and being okay with the outcome
of it too, because I think a lot of it
and tell me if I'm wrong, But I think a
lot of it comes with like wanting to be liked.
Oh yeah, and like I want I want to know
(35:34):
everything's were okay, right everyone, We're cool. Yeah, And it's
once you stop caring about that. I mean, you're not
walking around being an asshole to people, right, but you're
just being direct and relaying your emotions. And to me,
I know personally, it's been super freeing and been very
relaxing and I haven't had those freak out moments of
holding on to stuff as much.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
And I think to the people, first of all, I'm
that landed for me that I've changed your life and
you're you have died without me, So thank you, thank
you for saying that.
Speaker 6 (36:01):
I'm not sorry. No, the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
About wanting to be liked is such a manipulative thing
because like and again, This is not saying, oh, why
you know the waiter's meaningless. He's not, but like, why
do you care so much if he likes you? Clearly
that's childhood stuff. Clearly it's like mommy and daddy have
to like me. Now everybody has to like you know
what I mean?
Speaker 6 (36:24):
So we get it.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
It's all deep internal work. But it's manipulating the world
to make you feel better. And sometimes it's sitting with
the uncomfortable stuff like oh my god, he's coming in
for the third time. I can't put myself beneath him
by apologizing. I have no growth if I'm not uncomfortable,
because no growth comes without discomfort.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
I mean the few weeks ago that I told someone
they hurt my feelings, she's definitely pulled back. Yeah, And
I'm like, I've noticed. I've noticed the lack of the
texts or the very brief texts and the little time,
as we say in the psychology business, d counter less contact.
(37:07):
And I'm like, interesting, So even sometimes doing the right
thing of saying that hurt my feelings will make that wrong.
Speaker 6 (37:14):
Person pull back.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
So if people pleasing was my intention, it sure didn't work.
So I think it's just that truthfulness. I don't think
you can go wrong with the truth. Obviously not harsh
and saying shitty things like but saying that hurt. Yeah,
we land on the right person, right.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
One of the things I think about all the time is,
and this is like a few years ago, when we
would go to the diner and if we were sitting
in a certain area and if there was a table
that was being really loud, yeah or whatever, and you
were like, let's move, we need to sit here.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
Yeah, me or me?
Speaker 2 (37:47):
I'm like at that time, I was like no, no, no.
I was like, no, we could just say it's fine,
they'll probably be leaving soon.
Speaker 6 (37:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Well I would do that.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
Of course, because we're not being like it's worse to
sit and give them a bad energy of like looking
at them because they're loud, or like shushing them or.
Speaker 6 (38:05):
And what we didn't even get up in a huff.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
I was like, hey, man, why don't we go over there?
It's cool and it's just taking care of you first.
Maybe that's the whole point. Yeah, what would make you
feel best to do in the moment of Oh, I
could either apologize or I could hold this thing in
because I know it's better for that person's growth. Whatever
makes you feel better, but understand they're not going to
(38:29):
grow if you keep caretaking.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yeah, on the side of just get it out there,
I mean, if you're just being sincere and just having
a conversation with someone, if they can't handle it.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Then I mean, have you ever apologized for something in
the person has absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (38:44):
It is the best because you realize what an idiot
you were.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
For overthinking at I remember, okay, years ago, I okay,
when I was like thirteen, I got a pair of tap.
Speaker 6 (38:56):
Shoes for like some show amazing.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
And my dad I don't even know why, because we
joked around a lot, but he's a soft spoken guy.
I took the tap shoe and I like hit him
on the arm with it, like just spink and I
didn't think it would hurt, and he goes ow like,
I guess it really hit the wrong spot. Thirty fucking
years in therapy, I was always somehow came around to
(39:20):
I feel terrible. Oh my god, I hurt my father.
I heard him physically, Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (39:24):
What do I do?
Speaker 4 (39:25):
And once Trigg finally goes to me, why don't you
just like apologize, like, well, what a novel I did.
I go up to my dad. I'm like forty something
years old, and I go, Dad, I've been torturing myself
about this.
Speaker 6 (39:37):
I'm really sorry.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
When I was thirteen, I hit you with a tap
shoe in the arm and he goes.
Speaker 6 (39:41):
What are you talking about? And I go.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
At the time, yeah, no.
Speaker 4 (39:47):
Seventy something like I hit you in the arm and
you went out and he goes, I don't remember that,
And honest at his funeral, part of the eulogy was,
my dad did not hold on to those things.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
My dad was like always he would hold on to
the good and then the bad kind of like it
was like whatever, Yeah, so it hurt me more to
hold on to it. So all I can say is,
go hit an elderly person in the arm. We're right
now to me, I know on the street, say you're sorry.
(40:19):
Our third segment is always leased as fuck up of
the week. You would think I fucked up enough that
I tortured a small child in one of my classes
and made fun of him and then never apologized and
kind of skirted the issue. But this actually isn't a
fuck up that I did this week. I was just
thinking of other times I've had sorry moments, but this
one I absolutely felt bad amount. So I was in
(40:42):
the city a few months ago and I was going
to see a much lauded Broadway show, something that in
arguably has great reviews. Because I read the New York Times. Mister,
I know what's going on on the bads. I follow
everything going on in the Great White Way, and I said,
hot diggity, I'm going to see l So I went
to see Elf, and I was online at the Hershey store,
(41:03):
because god forbid, I would kill time outside waiting in
a line.
Speaker 6 (41:07):
What am I a farmer?
Speaker 4 (41:09):
So I was killing time with my little friend Trevor,
who's twelve, and I treat to these things so we'll
take cold care of me when I'm elderly. And I
was online and a woman why, she said, what are
you going to see?
Speaker 6 (41:21):
As New Yorkers do?
Speaker 4 (41:23):
And I said, why am I going to see Elf?
And she goes, oh, I heard it's great, and I
said yes, And of course I have to be like braggy,
So I was like, yes, I saw the original production
on Broadway five years ago and it was so good,
and I just can't wait for this new one, and
we're going backstage. And there at the time was a
show on Broadway and I will mention its name because
(41:45):
I don't care because it's long gone that god possibly
the worst reviews in years, and it was called Tammy
Faye the Musical and it was written by Elton John
and it certainly answered the question is he going down
and blind? Because it was just much milind terrible, terrible show,
(42:06):
inarguably the worst show in many years. So I said
to her, what are you going to see? And she
said Tammy Faye and I literally couldn't hide it. I
just go, oh, I'm sorry, Like it wasn't even a thought.
I just go sorry, And then the look on her
face and I go, but no, no, I know it's
(42:28):
got terrible reviews, but we just go to see everything.
And she points out her other yen to friend who
she goes see everything with, and I hated them instantly,
because you have somebody to go see everything with it,
I don't, Joe, And I said, I'm not sorry. I
hope you have a terrible day, hot diggity dew. We're
going to see Elf.
Speaker 6 (42:46):
But the sorry, I blurted out, I like later on.
Speaker 4 (42:50):
I was like, did I make her feel bad for
making this choice? Well, if you're so stupid that you're
gonna go see something that the reviews are out there, lady,
I'm not the one who's hurting your feelings that much.
But I did feel it was a bit of a
fuck up on my behalf. Maybe a little bit well
(43:10):
because it was blurdy. It wasn't thought. It wasn't like,
let me think of how to make fun of her.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
It was like, sorry, Yeah, is seeing Tammy Fay on
Broadway like the equivalent of someone who's like, oh my god,
I watched The Housewives on TV?
Speaker 4 (43:22):
No because it was No, because I hate reality TV.
I think it's just dumbed down America a lot and
giving us a license to be disgusting. Yeah, but no,
it's like seeing a very badly reviewed movie but paying
about five times the amount.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
Yeah. I mean, I didn't know if that's the version
of like, I know plenty of very smart, cool people
who are like, well, the Housewives are like mine, that's
my dumb show I like to watch.
Speaker 6 (43:46):
No.
Speaker 4 (43:46):
Yeah, so it's not a guilty pleasure show. No, it
was going it was supposed to be something that was
a huge hit. They they they shot for excellent and
got dog shit emoji with like the egg play and
stuck in it so that they had dick in an
ass shit.
Speaker 6 (44:03):
Yeah I should have said that to her.
Speaker 4 (44:05):
Oh my god, I heard it's like an eggplant dick
in an ass shit. I think I was a nice right,
So I think with that one, I didn't torture myself
as much because it was involuntary. If it's like someone, oh,
like when you step on someone's or when somebody steps
on your foot and you say sorry, like we've all
done that. Yeah, it's almost involuntary. We know it's not right.
(44:27):
Why am I apologizing for being stepped on? But it's
still okay, Like we blurt things all the time, it's fine.
I think the look on my face was just like, oh,
I fucked up, but I'm sure it'll be into No,
I know it's gonna suck.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
Or maybe that lady that show, God, there it goes, or.
Speaker 4 (44:49):
She said I don't know what that blue hair cut
was talking about.
Speaker 5 (44:51):
This was great, but I have a thing.
Speaker 4 (45:01):
Too, where like if she came out of that show
and said that I couldn't like her, I'm really prejudiced.
Speaker 6 (45:10):
When it comes to bad taste.
Speaker 4 (45:12):
I'm not saying I have the greatest taste, but I
at least know sort of a bar like I'll forgive.
I have two friends who are really into reality TV.
They know better than to discuss it with me. They
know I'm disgusted by it. I don't think it's good
for the world or the country. I think it's terrible.
It teaches people to behave badly. If the housewime's getting
away with it, so can I. It's not harmless, so
(45:34):
they don't know not to talk about it. But we
have a taste level that's similar. So they never will
mention a horribly bad movie and I have to hate them.
We have a friend BO who sometimes he'll mention a
horribly bad movie and I'm like, I kind of have
to hate you a little, not enough to break up
the friendship, but I don't have you to do you
have no discernment?
Speaker 6 (45:55):
Do you have no taste at all?
Speaker 4 (45:59):
That's why there's some shit I will not tell my
friends to watch because if they don't like it, they're
dead to me.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
Yeah. I was actually told Bo to watch a few
movies and they'll text me back like this kind of sucks. Yeah,
he's and the movie is like one of the ones
that I love and tell me it's okay an interview
with a vampire.
Speaker 6 (46:17):
Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
I was watching is like, this is ridiculous. Of course
it's ridicuou it's a fantasy jump and vampires in the
eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 4 (46:27):
Yeah, it wasn't supposed they weren't going for realism.
Speaker 6 (46:30):
Yeah, so weird.
Speaker 4 (46:32):
Yeah, I feel like, yeah, I would have hated her more,
and she would have deserved not just a sorry, but
like a big slap.
Speaker 2 (46:39):
You're like a stabbing.
Speaker 6 (46:40):
Yeah, and I'd be like we were elf, I'm gonna
kill you.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
Now, right, bring Faye back, dude.
Speaker 6 (46:47):
No, oh my god, I just okay.
Speaker 4 (46:50):
So we were all in agreement that Yeah, on the
cunt scale of the zero to cunt, it was maybe
a little cringe, yeah, but full blown count would have
been like, sorry, you're going to see that piece of
shit and then do like a.
Speaker 6 (47:04):
Bunch of roast jokes about it. That wouldn't have been good.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
See, I've had the benefit of having you as a friend,
so like everything I've gone to see I know is
going to be good.
Speaker 6 (47:12):
Yeah, you have no choice, but like now there's.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
A part of me that's like, I want to see
what bad looks like.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
I don't think you do, really because especially for that
kind of money.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
Well yeah, well I would have to be like a
you know, a lottery ticket or.
Speaker 4 (47:25):
Some shit like yeah, yeah, we'll tell you some badly
reviewed stuff and you can got.
Speaker 6 (47:30):
It.
Speaker 4 (47:31):
Not even a snobby thing because my taste level. Hey,
I don't understand opera. I don't understand jazz. Like there's
a lot of things I'm not smart enough to get right,
but I just know it's never I always have two
friends who are in the entertainment business that i'll call
when I don't like either a TV show or a play,
and I'll go, no, these guys are smart, And I'll go,
(47:53):
why do I hate such and such And I'll name
the movie or whatever, and they go, oh, because you
don't like dot dot dot, or they'll say because it's
just inarguably shitty. So I don't have the taste level
they have. But I also kind of think I have
some discernment. Like it's like when you know you're not gorgeous,
but you know what ugly is, like, you know, like
(48:15):
my father always is the women he idolized, he thought.
And of course they're probably the two most beautiful women
who ever lived, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. So I
never looked like either, but boy did I know that?
They sure look better than most. So I can judge
that without being that. You know, like my off Broadway
(48:39):
show could have closed early, gotten a bad review.
Speaker 6 (48:41):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (48:42):
Just because I can't make it doesn't mean I don't
know it when I see it. Yes, Sissy, anybody got
down for that?
Speaker 6 (48:55):
Sorry I'm from New Orleans?
Speaker 4 (48:57):
Still sorry, I am none.
Speaker 6 (49:00):
Yeah, I hate when people do that too.
Speaker 4 (49:02):
We have to do an episode on people who are
way over identify with like saying things correctly, Like they'll
be like van go instead of ango, or they'll be
like no, it's like that was in that movie Manhattan.
That would yell a movie and she's the pretentious ladies
going van and like no, I have to instantly hate
(49:23):
you or they uh tell you, how would you say
New Orleans if you're from there New Orleans? No, Well
you're a human. But don't they go nolens knowledge?
Speaker 6 (49:34):
Yeah? Do they do that? White people do that?
Speaker 4 (49:37):
I mean, like weird people do it. I think it's like,
let the black people say it the way they want
because like their Cajun and they bucking all are a loud,
but stop being white and trying to say things like that.
Speaker 6 (49:49):
Yeah, I don't like.
Speaker 4 (49:50):
Yelling that, doing that, saying that we better not or
else we get switch.
Speaker 6 (49:54):
You owe us an apology.
Speaker 2 (49:57):
Never. My grandmother, who is Fromans, used to go to
New Orleans all the time and she would call it
New Orleans like she would pronounce every like that she's
been Orleans. I love it there.
Speaker 4 (50:09):
And I'm like that's but you know what else's kind
of dopes hiss Italians because man and be the guy
at the restaurant. The diner isn't going to know just
a Manicotti or pointed it, like stop showing off your
dumb knowledge.
Speaker 6 (50:26):
Like I don't like all that.
Speaker 2 (50:28):
Yeah, I feel weird at a restaurant. There's like I always
go Ricotta. I'm like, we're good.
Speaker 4 (50:33):
Yeah, my sister, My sister always goes you want some MutS.
Speaker 6 (50:40):
I like the soprano Italian where it's just.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
Like you go the loops, you want some mutsuts.
Speaker 6 (50:46):
Yeah, we gotta go.
Speaker 4 (50:48):
We're getting that signal from our boss Celia saying wrap
that shut up, you two girls. I've been going on
too long, God damn, and I tried.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
I appreciate who said talk so to send us a letter.
This is again a podcast where we give advice. It

it might be fully bad. But to at least get
your question on the air or have a chance to
(02:09):
send it to shrink this show at gmail dot com.
That is shrink this show at gmail dot com. If
you haven't listened to all our other episodes, listen now.
Not like we're not gonna say the same shit we
say every other time. Correct correct, correct from the show. Yeah,
(02:30):
oh it's doing so, it's killing it. We've had four
episodes and four downloads. Not gonna breast.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Though, It's so true.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Now, Nick, our subject everywhere. I'm not apologizing for that.
I'm not because it is a human function to cough.
And I will say that is what our show is about.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
This episode.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
As you know, every episode, we take one issue that's
been plaguing me over the week and had letters from
people talking about and asking advice on, and we are
dissecting it to the best of our ability. So this
issue we're going to talk about today, I will set
up by saying I teach, as Nick knows, I teach
stand up and storytelling at a college in Connecticut.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Now these are not children.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I would say they are eighteen, nineteen twenty. The oldest
student's twenty six, but he's remedial. I know, disgusting. I
hate higher education for elders. Leave it to the kids.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
There are future.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
So anyway, I'm teaching class and there's one student. I
can't use his name obviously he's named after let's just
say a town in Texas, so let's call him Houston.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
He is.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I had him last semester, I have him this semester.
He is literally my favorite student, hands down. He probably
is every teacher's favorite student because he's very open. He's
a great actor, he has a good sense of humor
run him, and he can make fun of himself.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
So I all week.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
So I taught him last Thursday, and all week I
have been torturing myself because I'm like, oh, we were
pretty joky last week in class, and by we, I
mean he and I. But of course my jokes always
tend to be insulting, which is terrible, and I apologize,
but too bad. And I made a living so he
(04:28):
said something about wanting to work on a stand up
bit about being quote non athletic, and like, if you've
ever seen a kid who's non athletic, it's this kid.
He has a five inch thigh gap, he's like one
hundred and twenty pounds. So all we were joking about
non athleticism during the class.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
So I figured, oh, he opened the door.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
So when someone else said about being non athletic, I
would just joke about Houston. I would say to him, well,
if you want to see a real non athlete looking
over further than this guy or whatever it was, and
he would laugh.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
So I'm leaving school that day.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
I'm take the elevator down to the garage, and I'm like,
did I hurt his feelings?
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Oh? My god, I hurt his feelings? Uh? Oh, I better?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
What do I do? What do I do? I know
what I'll do. I'll overcompensate and I'll because I know
it's like in his best interest, because I feel when
someone hurts your feelings, you should tell them. So he's
a kid, though, so I figure, is it my job
as a human to apologize because he's younger than me?
(05:34):
Or should I not interrupt? His journey to adulthood by
being like, he should bring it up, So instead I
didn't either. I overcomplimented him in an email to try
to make up for this supposed error that I made.
So I said him this great email about how I
loved having him class and oh my god, I'm so
proud of him and all the growth he's had and
(05:56):
never heard back. So I've had six days of living
neck aches, back aches, torture about should I bring up
to him, Hey, man, if I hurt your feelings, I'm
really sorry.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
But then the art.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Of part of me is like, well, isn't it his job?
Speaker 6 (06:12):
So I want to do an.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Episode today on whose job is it to apologize or
bring to someone's attention that an apology is needed.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
I've had been.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
On the receiving end of a lot of codependency work
where they clearly state, you know, in twelve step programs,
it's that person's job to tell you what they need.
But is that harder for some people? What's the deal?
So I'm still, even at sixty three years old, kind
of going, oh, maybe I have to step in and
(06:45):
just kind of like take responsibility first, Have you had
this stuff happen to you, Nick.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I mean, I'm pretty perfect. I've never oh yeah, done anything.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Wrong that is true.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Ever, I've had a little bit of it. I would
say I definitely get in modes where I know that
feeling when you're talking about like torturing yourself. Yeah, Like
if it would be like a conversation for me would
probably be like a conversation or something I said to
someone at work and like whatever. Then I would go
home and I'd be.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Like, ah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And then you don't see him for a while, and
then you're.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Like yeah, and every time you see him there's a
perceived coldness, like you whether that's just our projection, Yeah,
it's like no, maybe they were just like not in
the mood to talk that day, but we take it
it's all self focused in making ourselves the center of
the world, because here I am thinking this kid gives
a shit about me for seven days and hasn't answered
(07:40):
my complimentary email back when he's just like a college
kid who's busy and.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Might not be hurt, right, you know.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I remember, Yeah, I have a friend who's been sober
for got thirty something years, so he's worked a lot
of these codependency issues out and even he falls prey
to it. I remember, I was always joking I have
a third rescue dog named Pete, who's legitimately like, I mean,
as dumb as you get. So I was telling my buddy,
(08:08):
who's sober. I was telling him, Oh my god, this
dog is so dumb, but he's so adorable and so happy.
I got him like me, and yeah, kind of like
a little lap dog like you. So he sends me
this really funny meme of uh chihuahua, which PD is.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Sends me a meme of.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
A Chihuahua like very like bumping into a wall, like
very special needsy.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
So it was really funny, like it was just like
when my dog narded.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
So I didn't see it because I didn't go on
Instagram for a little while. And I get a text
from him two days apparently after he sent it, and
he goes, listen, I just want to say, I know
we were joking about PD, but it was way out
of line for me to send you the meme where
I probably hurt your feelings about this dog thing, And
(08:52):
I go, oh, I just didn't see it. So even
a guy who's worked on themselves relentlessly for forty years
thirty years, whatever it is still falls prey to the
oh my god, I have to torture myself over this thing.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
And one basically if that hurt my feelings.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
It's fine, it didn't, it would be my job to say, hey, man,
I know we get around, but like if that's a
little tender, don't joke about that, right. But it's a
really slippery slope. So even the people have the most
inside who are the most you know, the people in
your life who's worked on themselves the most, even they
fall prey to that.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, I have to like work if I'm upset about
something or in an argument with someone, I have to
like work to like I've worked out all It takes
like a few days. I'll work out all the scenarios
in my head and yeah, mad, And it's like this
person they fucked me.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
By like two days later you go up to and
I'm just like, hey, that my bad was this is
like in a bad mood, I'm sorry I said that, etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Like it's just like and do they act like do
they even know what you're talking about?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Sometimes yes, for sure, Like that there was one in
the in a actually yesterday at work, I was on
my phone. It's a girl but started talking to me
and I didn't hear because I was on my phone
and she's very pretty girl and she was like nick
and I was like what. She goes and she's like,
I was talking to you. I go, oh, it is
the first time a guy hasn't paid attention to you ever.
(10:14):
And I got real okay, and she goes, well, it's
that listens like it's that time of the month. I go,
you still get those I thought you were in your
And I was like, okay, we got a.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Your problem is your funny, That's the problem.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
And I fucking started and then literally she but she's cool,
thank god, And literally like three minutes later, I went
over her and I got to stand up, give me
a hugger. I'm really sorry.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Oh so your molested on top of it?
Speaker 5 (10:36):
See actually me to do it?
Speaker 6 (10:38):
Yeah, affection.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
She was like, no, I'm just in a bet. We
both apologize to each other, but like it was in
three minutes.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
And I was like, it is best to kind of
just nip it in the.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Bud one hundred percent because I know that feeling of
like stewing and then your like you said your body
starts to ache and ship.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Oh my god, everything hurts, and I'm like, oh, it's shocking.
I threw out my back and my neck because I'm
afraid a nineteen year old upset about me and probably
never read them.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
So I go like, ye constantly.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Yeah, So I send him the thing, and but the
fact that then he ignores it because I'm like, well,
the minute he writes back, I'll feel better. So it's
almost the universe telling me like, no, you got to
make this better within yourself. So either have the balls
to send a real email or talk to him and say, hey, man,
you know, I know we get joking in class, but
(11:26):
I feel I may have been on the line and
have him be an adult.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
And say it.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
But then, of course, from day to day, the next
day it's like, listen, man, fuck that kid. Let me
tell you something. First of all, answer a teacher when
they send you an email. Second of all, how about
you don't be a pussy and you say excuse me,
miss so, and so that hurt my feelings because that's
obviously the most respectable way to act, right, And then
(11:51):
I go by of course, the fourth day, I'm like
just spinning and then yesterday I knew I was going
to see him, and I said, you know what, I'm
going to show up early, and I'm going to say
can I speak to you? And I'm going to be
the adult idiot, even though it's codependent, and say, gosh, Houston,
I really hope I didn't hurt your feelings last week.
(12:13):
That would really, you know, that would be terrible for
me to do.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
So are you okay?
Speaker 4 (12:20):
So instead what happens is I don't get there early.
I self sabotage that move because, oh god forbid, you
don't drive through a place and get your big diet coke.
And then he came a little.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Late to class.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
I'm like, damn it, and I figure, I know, we'll
walk to our carns together and I'll sus it out.
I'll suss out the situation. I go down, I'm so,
how is your week great? And he goes, you know,
I got your email congratulating me about at school. I
just didn't know what to say, so I just ignored it.
(12:54):
And I was and I go, no, that's fine. I go,
you could usually just say thank you, I said, or
ignore it is fine, and goes, well, I just didn't
know what to say.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
I'm uncomfortable with.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Compliments, so I'm thinking I worried a week that I
was This kid was mad that I was mean to him.
Apparently he doesn't like compliments either, So you can't win
with this fucking kid.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
I think what we're saying.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Is this fuck I hate him right now. But yeah,
it's like it's such a slippery slope of like knowing
what's right. Like that whole thing in codependency where they
talk about no is a complete sentence.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
So basically, suppose.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
My idiot I don't have idiot friends like this, but
supposed like, oh no, no, no, I mean idiot friends
like this who want you to go on a trip
with them and you just don't want to go.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
In codependency work, you just have to say no. You
don't have to say no.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
I don't want to know that timing isn't right for me. No,
it doesn't sound like my thing. People should be able.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
To accept a no.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
And as old as I am and as much as
I work on myself, I don't think I've ever been
able to leave it at a no.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
It's too hard.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
So those things about not apologizing even though you.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Think you hurt.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
So many feelings are just being blunt and saying nope.
That is almost impossible. You know, I had to turn down.
I got invited to a wedding in the summer, and
I don't want to go because it's too far. There's
a lot of plane transfers. I'm trying to cut down
on activity this year. I'm just trying to be a
lot more mindful of what I say yes to. And
(14:27):
I had to be super careful how I worded the
reply to the invitation, because I was like, I want
to just go nope, but that's not how you keep
friends either.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
And do I owe them an explanation?
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Not really, but they at least deserve a no. I
wish I could attend, However, this doesn't work for me.
Can't wait to celebrate with you in person, but it's
hard to just leave it at these blunt rules that
we know are correct.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Thumbs down emoji in there. You both should really one
gift of the guy from Gladiator just going o cauld.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
I just send them like a egg.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Plant all the time.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Well, I know, and poop an eggplant and a poop.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Egg plant, poop rainbow. What else? That's really a water
emoji sometimes well.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Ps, wait, I just started ignoring you and I'm not apologizing.
What what would you rather be? Err on the side
of the person who anticipates, hey, I'm countable to myself
and I may owe them an apology, or the person
who's like, well, it's up to them, Like, who would
you rather be?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I think it really it so depends on the situation,
But I would say I would probably be the person
who would be Now, I would be the person and
more likely to be like, hey, I'm sorry and apologize
and just make it all good, even if I still
have a little bit of like, you know, you were
fucking wrong there, but I'll still I would rather do
that because I used to do be the opposite way.
(15:58):
Just hold grudges and I can hold them.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
But but but, but that's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I'm not saying it's a grudge to hold on to
that fear that they are withholding some kind of there's
a little nick in the friendship, a little like it's
a little scar that kind of like they're letting fester.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah. No, I would be more likely to apologize and
bring it up now back in the day.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
I know, why aren't they all just fucking man up.
Why aren't they all woman up? Tit up, dick up.
I was like, I honestly wish it was a perfect
world that everyone could just say, hey, man, that hurt
my feelings. It's the best. Because I recently did that
(16:49):
to somebody.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
I think it really threw them off.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Like people are not used to people just going hey,
you know that kind of hurt. Oh, I'm sorry, you're mad?
I go, no, I'm not mad, it just hurt. Yeah,
and they don't don't know what to do with it.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
But that's hard to say too. That's vulnerable saying I'm
hurt versus I'm mad.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yea too is people are like, oh, I could say
things and joke around with her and blah blah blah,
and so they get excited to do it.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Yeah yeah, not really no place.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Cut?
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Actually actually not anymore.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
I mean, if you want to see it all come out, Yeah,
I went I did a sorry not sorry recently because somebody.
It was in class one day, my adult stand up class,
and I don't God bless them, but there was this
one woman and she was really pushing back on advice
and I'm like, well, why are you paying for the class.
(17:45):
And then I said, look, after like twelve pushbacks, I said,
you know what, honestly, if this doesn't work for you,
maybe this isn't the class for you. And then I
go sorry, and then I go, wait a minute, I'm
not sorry. I go I think what I just that
you was perfect? So I take my sorry back.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
And then Lisa was like, you should kill yourself?
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Lady, Well, yeah, how dare you?
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Nick? Suicide is a big bad topic.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
So if you have a question for us right to
shrink this show at gmail dot com?
Speaker 6 (18:18):
That shrink this show at gmail dot com.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
And Nick, do you have some letters for people who
are apologetically does there?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Does?
Speaker 6 (18:26):
I hate them all already? Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Okay, all right, so Lisa, I love you so much.
My name's Andrew.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Oh gosh, okay.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I'm writing from Denver, Colorado.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
Rocky, fuck you.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I've been overthinking this situation with my coworker. I think
I might have upset her during a meeting last week
when I disagreed with her about a plan for a rollout.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Skinny's very technically, it's a lot of business.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yeah, the our didn't business? Spread cheek, spread your cheeks?
She hasn't said anything to me about it, but she
has also been seemingly avoiding me. Ah, bring it up
and risk making it weird, or just assume she's fine.
I hate leaving things unresolved, but maybe I'm just making
(19:19):
it worse by obsessing over it.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Yeah, this guy's between a rock and hard place. Nick,
let me see that letter in person. Walk that thing
over here. No, I want to come on and look
at those thighs rubbing together.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Listen this guy.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
First of all, I love that he at least calls
himself out on his overthinking because I was obsessing about
this stuff too. I get it, and he is making
it worse by obsessing over it. Like literally, in my
situation last week, it could have been like, Okay, you
know what you're gonna say, You're gonna apologize on Thursday,
and let's move on with our life. But of course
(19:57):
that doesn't happen. So I get where he's coming from.
This whole thing about she's seemingly avoiding me, Like, but
is she.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Like in your head?
Speaker 4 (20:10):
I know so much of this is just imagined. I
used to have a notebook that on the cover it
said list of imagined slights, so meaning like, what do
people say that they actually didn't mean anything?
Speaker 6 (20:23):
But I'm going to keep a list and keep it
tally of who's the.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Asshole and I hate them? Okay, So I don't know
with him, I think honestly, if the price of keeping
it inside is more than the price of asking, you
got to figure out which gives you less pain exactly.
So you're overthinking, you're obsessing. Do we morally know that
(20:46):
it's her job to come up to you and say, hey, man,
that was kind of bad. I wish we could talk
about it. Sure, But if it's going to ruin your
week and you're not emotionally there have done the work
to get emotionally out of that habit, then just go
up to her and be like, hey, can we talk
about what happened in the meeting last week?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah? I would say that, go up to her, address it,
get it out in the open. Also to my question
would be what is his relationship with her besides work?
Like is it like a friend? Does he really care
about her? Does he have to work with her a ton?
Does she have power over him? Like? What's the dynamic?
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Like?
Speaker 6 (21:21):
So much is not being unsaid.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, it's just like I don't know, like I think
Belie is right, like, just go and address it. See
where you're at. Oh, it's just a close friend or
something like. What's I don't know the dynamic here.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
I just think I live in a fantasy world of
going wow, I wish they I think if all people
just went up to each other, that would be great,
but they're not gonna. And the tenseness and that whole
tension around the office. Oh and then just go in
every day and be like, oh God, does she hate me?
And is that our problem?
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Yeah? Yeah, it is. Our problem is giving a shit
if people hate us?
Speaker 4 (21:57):
When he clearly probably did nothing wrong, like he disagreed
with her for a plan for a rollout spreadsheet, PowerPoint
whatever it is.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
What is the rollout about?
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Yeah? Can you right back to us, Andrew and tell
us what in Denver, Colorado are you rolling out?
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Other than joints.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
That's all they do, is they smoke the pot. Because
when I was the last time I played in Denver
before my retirement, I remember I said, when I was
on stage, I said, could the lights go up please?
And of course the big pothead who was running the
lights of the theater was outside smoking a dube and
I said, denver to me, So you know, when Andrew
(22:36):
just die and go smoke the pot next letter?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Fuck you? All right? So, dear Lisa, in the past year,
I've lost twenty five pounds. Yoh, bet talk about to
find gravity. Oh, I feel much better about myself. Last
week I saw an at that I'm not crazy about.
H We've all been there.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
And not with a capital C. No fist bumps, no shocks.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Hell yeah. And she told me how much better I look,
and that she couldn't believe how big I allowed myself
to gets.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
She has. I thought I apologized about this already.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
But.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Oh my god, I feel like that was way out
of line. But I don't think she has any idea,
which she doesn't.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
No, she does not.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Should I call her and ask for an apology and
explain why I'm hurt. I'm not a confrontational person, so
what the fuck do I do about it?
Speaker 6 (23:31):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (23:32):
I was with her till the not confrontational part. I
so object strongly to the I'm not confrontational, which means
you need to grow the fuck up and if something
bothers you or hurt you say something that is just
giving yourself the chance to build tons and years of
(23:54):
resentment and be angry internally and hold on to all
of it instead of everything. Isn't a confrontation. It's just
a discussion. It's just a conversation. So if I I
remember once I was meeting with you and Andrew and
Bow that, these guys that we ostensibly write with every week,
(24:14):
and I remember I was like, I'm mad at Bo,
And I said to you and Andrew, wait in your
cars because I got to talk to him about something.
And I'm like, there should be no fear about bringing up, hey, Bo,
what you did. I didn't like, let's talk about it.
Obviously you didn't do it in front of you guys,
And they just told you guys about it later and
we all laughed. But that's not confrontational. There's not two
(24:37):
types of people, those of us who don't like confrontation
and then co opt everybody to tack of our feelings
where we resent them, or people who just bull in
a china shop going and be like, look, motherfucker. Like
there's that in between ground of just going hey, aunt,
let's make it aunt, Lisa, because that sounds like something
I would have said years ago, like now I know better.
(25:00):
Now I know like no, because also, like you know
who says less weight equals more attractive, Like it's just
like fat phobia.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
It's just bullshit. So how about you say you.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Look great, how you feel in whatever? So anyway, years ago,
I would have definitely been like, dude, you fucking let
yourself go?
Speaker 6 (25:19):
What the fuck?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Many hung those kids wit hang like if that was
me and some and also these aunts though are formidable,
Like there is a certain fear level of some of
these elder relatives because you're like, oh my god, she's
gonna yell at me, she's gonna be mad at me.
I often wonder I'm the Peppa person if I hurt
(25:43):
someone's feelings, I'm formidable. So I don't know. If they
would tell me they'd be afraid, I'd be like, ah,
fuck you, And I honestly wouldn't. I wouldn't start crying
white girl tears of like and make it about me.
I'd be like, oh man, I'm really sorry that hurt
you know how like white women always have to cry
about It's like how to just switch to your issue now?
Speaker 6 (26:01):
Now I have to feel sorry for you.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
So if that was me, I would love if Denise
could come up to me and say, gosh, I'm not
usually comfortable with conversations like this. I fear confrontation, but.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
You hurt my feelings.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
When you said I looked terrible before or whatever the
verbiage was, I'd be like, oh my god, I didn't
intend that.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Look, that would be so mature and great. But if
you're going to write your story is I'm not confrontational.
You'll never have a confrontation, you'll never have an equal friendship,
you'll never have an equal marriage, and you'll just be
a doormat. That is my feelings, and I'm right. So
you know what, go eat yourself to death. Sacramento Mallory.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
That was the name. I forgot to read it.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
I love that. I mean, what do you think? I
mean the aunt? What the aunt did was inarguably wrong.
What we know what the aunt did was in arguably.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
I I I have. It's weird because I with my family,
I have the hardest boundaries of all time. Like if
they say shit or anything, that's gonna interfere. But like
I will for a sports reference, I'll stiff arm those
fuckers to the ground, get away from me.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
We only have women and gay men listening to this.
So I hope you're happy.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
I hope you're happy now that.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
But at the same time, like I understand it, it's like,
what's it gonna you know when you say, even aunt,
you're not crazy of Maybe you apologize and it makes
your guys relationship better. That's true. It could maybe you
apologize and she's like, oh, what are you want of
those liberals?
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Those good fatties are good too, chicks.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
How does she turn into Jennifer Cooler?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
But I mean also too, Like if it's an aunt,
that's like, say, this is a grown woman, I would
assume So for aunts like in her seventies.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
They're not gonna know. Sometimes you just got to the
old people.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
That pass him benefit of the doubt. Man, Like at
some point it's like, are you gonna call up your
seventy five year old great aunt and be like, you
know what you said? Just let them.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
I remember years ago when my mother said to me,
my mother would always joke around about how lousy my
boyfriends were.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
Yeah, and it was like hurt my feeling says, it's
clearly this is years.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Ago, like before I dated somebody decent and I clearly
picked badly and she was worried. But every time she
said it, I'd feel worse about the choice I made.
And that sounds like what's going on with Mallory because
she feels bad that she she knows internally she didn't
like herself at the other weighth and it makes her
(28:45):
feel like shit.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
I did let myself go, and I.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Wish I hadn't. I was like, I wish I hadn't
dated those kind of guys. It just reminds you of
your past and how it was ugly. So I remember
saying to my mother. I just said one day, I said,
you know, I really wish you wouldn't bring up guys.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
It makes me I can't.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Believe I said it, because talk about formidable like you
think I'm tough. My mother, would you send it in
shut up bah blah, but she would.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
I said that, I go, you gotta stop.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
I go.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
I don't like that.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
I said, I don't date guys like that anymore. So
it makes me feel bad that you say that. Yeah,
and she never did it again. There's something about even
tough women like me and her that you tell us
and we fucking remember so those non confrontational people. I mean,
it'd be great if you could stop writing the story
(29:36):
of like you're the victim and don't like to come
from people. It's just like educate us instead in what hurts.
Like if you said to me, even though we joke
a lot, if you said, you know, I know my
mom died when I was six, and I joke about it,
but you know, if you joke about it, it hurts, I'd
be like, oh shit, like I would never forget that again.
(29:57):
I would it would never happen again like that.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Like again, the intent like like you and your mother
are like like she was just saying it to be
like having fun and joking around. Yeah, and that's the
same thing with you. Like everything you said. That's why
none of us, like Bo and Andrew and all of us, like,
none of us take it because we're like this is fun,
like this means right whatever, But yeah, the intention is
(30:21):
never to hurt someone, like you know, someone like your
mother was like, like you said, you told her once
you are, I'll never forget I love you, and you're like,
please don't say that, and she was like good, all right, cool.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
And I think It's like being an adult means having
those hard conversations. So I think the more this girl grows,
she'll be like, well, you're not either yes, confrontational or
not at all. You're somewhere in between of like educating
people how to treat you.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
That's all it is.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
And then if the aunt's still a cunt, you just
write her off or you say, well, you know what, Yeah,
I guess I can't trust you with my feelings anymore.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Yeah, they're just like, you know, put a little, don't
salt the steps next time it snows.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
I love that an old people injury fully advocates for that.
Got one more, We got one more?
Speaker 6 (31:09):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
I better like them better than that fat hole.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
See this is James from Manitoba.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Oh my god, Canadia, Canada. I love them so.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Dear Lisa, my wife has brought to my attention that
I apologize too much.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
Oh god, I hate that type of part.
Speaker 6 (31:26):
Sorry Celia.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
That Celia, even men do it.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
Supposedly sight this do I reach for the thing?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Says something? Well, then I think that that man needs
to be my husband's.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
Then we apologize to each other, Oh.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
My god, and you would be the couple no one
wants around exactly. No, I'm sorry, dependent okay, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
So my wife brought to my attendency. I apologize too much,
she says. We'll be out to dinner, and if the
waiter comes over and I'm not ready to order, I'll
say sorry four or five times, and then it makes
the person uncomfort. I feel like people don't apologize enough.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Oh god, so he's overcompensating for they are so nice
a different breed, Nick, That's the only place I ever
played where in an autograph line they're like, thank you,
miss Lampinelly, thank you, miss lamps and ps. Then I
instituted that elsewhere. I said it is not.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
Lease, it's miss Lampinelly.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
You say.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
Later face, and said, how did you let yourself go
your fat hunt?
Speaker 6 (32:32):
Go ahead?
Speaker 2 (32:34):
He says he feels like people don't apologize enough that
it's appreciated, no matter how many times I say it.
What do you think?
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Because it becomes meaningless as fuck. All the I'm sorries
they add up to one big Hi.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
I'm a people pleaser.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
HI like me, like me, like me, like me, like me?
If you're not, I get saying once to the you
know what actually I get saying it to the waiter
if they've come back like three times in a half
hour and you're like, oh, I'm sorry, we're you know,
we talk a lot. There's this one restaurant that me
and my friend go to in Madison, Connecticut, beautiful, rich
(33:10):
people town. No, when we go there once every couple
of weeks and have dinner for five hours, they know
that they know now not to even ask us what
we want until an hour in because they know we're
not even gonna have looked at the menu yet. But
if you're not in a place where they know that,
and they're coming back and just trying to do their job,
I get after like the third time, being like, oh,
(33:31):
I'm sorry, man, we're a little different. We talk a
lot first, and we'll give you a signal. But the
weird people pleasy, manipulative, I'm sorry, is just sound a
little cloying, and they lose meaning.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
I don't either.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
I mean, honestly, it's like when a woman does it.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
I'm like, it's low self esteeming.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
It's not great. When a guy does it, I really
hate ith.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Yeah, Well, because women, we can almost underst stand it,
how you know, with the patriarchy. We've been conditioned to
be apologetic in general.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
But shut up. There such a non bro.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
And so we kind of get it. But with men,
you go, hmmm, wow, that poor guy. Let's see what's
inside that vault.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Yeah. Yeah, if I could put a little just like
a little bow on it. This is something I think
about all the time since I've met Lisa. So since
I met you, of you've been very upfront about your
emotions and been very direct and things like that. And
you know, I've been at therapy and worked on myself
and I've found that it in a way, and I
(34:39):
know these people are in their heads and they're overthinking things,
but being more direct just overall for me in any regard,
whether it's apologizing or anything else, has made me feel
more relaxed and freer than probably in my life.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
So that that was one thing that just came to
me that I was like, I need to say this,
because that was I would have avoided everything at all
costs or been like it's there. Yeah, I'm just guarding
the shit out of my emotions all day. So I
think being direct about it and just being honest about
your feelings no matter what the situation. No matter who
it's with, there are situations, maybe like with the old aunt,
(35:12):
you're like whatever, she's eighty, Yeah, she'll it's fine, right,
I get it. But I think overall being able to
address it and apologize and being okay with the outcome
of it too, because I think a lot of it
and tell me if I'm wrong, But I think a
lot of it comes with like wanting to be liked.
Oh yeah, and like I want I want to know
(35:34):
everything's were okay, right everyone, We're cool. Yeah, And it's
once you stop caring about that. I mean, you're not
walking around being an asshole to people, right, but you're
just being direct and relaying your emotions. And to me,
I know personally, it's been super freeing and been very
relaxing and I haven't had those freak out moments of
holding on to stuff as much.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
And I think to the people, first of all, I'm
that landed for me that I've changed your life and
you're you have died without me, So thank you, thank
you for saying that.
Speaker 6 (36:01):
I'm not sorry. No, the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
About wanting to be liked is such a manipulative thing
because like and again, This is not saying, oh, why
you know the waiter's meaningless. He's not, but like, why
do you care so much if he likes you? Clearly
that's childhood stuff. Clearly it's like mommy and daddy have
to like me. Now everybody has to like you know
what I mean?
Speaker 6 (36:24):
So we get it.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
It's all deep internal work. But it's manipulating the world
to make you feel better. And sometimes it's sitting with
the uncomfortable stuff like oh my god, he's coming in
for the third time. I can't put myself beneath him
by apologizing. I have no growth if I'm not uncomfortable,
because no growth comes without discomfort.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
I mean the few weeks ago that I told someone
they hurt my feelings, she's definitely pulled back. Yeah, And
I'm like, I've noticed. I've noticed the lack of the
texts or the very brief texts and the little time,
as we say in the psychology business, d counter less contact.
(37:07):
And I'm like, interesting, So even sometimes doing the right
thing of saying that hurt my feelings will make that wrong.
Speaker 6 (37:14):
Person pull back.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
So if people pleasing was my intention, it sure didn't work.
So I think it's just that truthfulness. I don't think
you can go wrong with the truth. Obviously not harsh
and saying shitty things like but saying that hurt. Yeah,
we land on the right person, right.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
One of the things I think about all the time is,
and this is like a few years ago, when we
would go to the diner and if we were sitting
in a certain area and if there was a table
that was being really loud, yeah or whatever, and you
were like, let's move, we need to sit here.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
Yeah, me or me?
Speaker 2 (37:47):
I'm like at that time, I was like no, no, no.
I was like, no, we could just say it's fine,
they'll probably be leaving soon.
Speaker 6 (37:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Well I would do that.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
Of course, because we're not being like it's worse to
sit and give them a bad energy of like looking
at them because they're loud, or like shushing them or.
Speaker 6 (38:05):
And what we didn't even get up in a huff.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
I was like, hey, man, why don't we go over there?
It's cool and it's just taking care of you first.
Maybe that's the whole point. Yeah, what would make you
feel best to do in the moment of Oh, I
could either apologize or I could hold this thing in
because I know it's better for that person's growth. Whatever
makes you feel better, but understand they're not going to
(38:29):
grow if you keep caretaking.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yeah, on the side of just get it out there,
I mean, if you're just being sincere and just having
a conversation with someone, if they can't handle it.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Then I mean, have you ever apologized for something in
the person has absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (38:44):
It is the best because you realize what an idiot
you were.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
For overthinking at I remember, okay, years ago, I okay,
when I was like thirteen, I got a pair of tap.
Speaker 6 (38:56):
Shoes for like some show amazing.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
And my dad I don't even know why, because we
joked around a lot, but he's a soft spoken guy.
I took the tap shoe and I like hit him
on the arm with it, like just spink and I
didn't think it would hurt, and he goes ow like,
I guess it really hit the wrong spot. Thirty fucking
years in therapy, I was always somehow came around to
(39:20):
I feel terrible. Oh my god, I hurt my father.
I heard him physically, Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (39:24):
What do I do?
Speaker 4 (39:25):
And once Trigg finally goes to me, why don't you
just like apologize, like, well, what a novel I did.
I go up to my dad. I'm like forty something
years old, and I go, Dad, I've been torturing myself
about this.
Speaker 6 (39:37):
I'm really sorry.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
When I was thirteen, I hit you with a tap
shoe in the arm and he goes.
Speaker 6 (39:41):
What are you talking about? And I go.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
At the time, yeah, no.
Speaker 4 (39:47):
Seventy something like I hit you in the arm and
you went out and he goes, I don't remember that,
And honest at his funeral, part of the eulogy was,
my dad did not hold on to those things.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
My dad was like always he would hold on to
the good and then the bad kind of like it
was like whatever, Yeah, so it hurt me more to
hold on to it. So all I can say is,
go hit an elderly person in the arm. We're right
now to me, I know on the street, say you're sorry.
(40:19):
Our third segment is always leased as fuck up of
the week. You would think I fucked up enough that
I tortured a small child in one of my classes
and made fun of him and then never apologized and
kind of skirted the issue. But this actually isn't a
fuck up that I did this week. I was just
thinking of other times I've had sorry moments, but this
one I absolutely felt bad amount. So I was in
(40:42):
the city a few months ago and I was going
to see a much lauded Broadway show, something that in
arguably has great reviews. Because I read the New York Times. Mister,
I know what's going on on the bads. I follow
everything going on in the Great White Way, and I said,
hot diggity, I'm going to see l So I went
to see Elf, and I was online at the Hershey store,
(41:03):
because god forbid, I would kill time outside waiting in
a line.
Speaker 6 (41:07):
What am I a farmer?
Speaker 4 (41:09):
So I was killing time with my little friend Trevor,
who's twelve, and I treat to these things so we'll
take cold care of me when I'm elderly. And I
was online and a woman why, she said, what are
you going to see?
Speaker 6 (41:21):
As New Yorkers do?
Speaker 4 (41:23):
And I said, why am I going to see Elf?
And she goes, oh, I heard it's great, and I
said yes, And of course I have to be like braggy,
So I was like, yes, I saw the original production
on Broadway five years ago and it was so good,
and I just can't wait for this new one, and
we're going backstage. And there at the time was a
show on Broadway and I will mention its name because
(41:45):
I don't care because it's long gone that god possibly
the worst reviews in years, and it was called Tammy
Faye the Musical and it was written by Elton John
and it certainly answered the question is he going down
and blind? Because it was just much milind terrible, terrible show,
(42:06):
inarguably the worst show in many years. So I said
to her, what are you going to see? And she
said Tammy Faye and I literally couldn't hide it. I
just go, oh, I'm sorry, Like it wasn't even a thought.
I just go sorry, And then the look on her
face and I go, but no, no, I know it's
(42:28):
got terrible reviews, but we just go to see everything.
And she points out her other yen to friend who
she goes see everything with, and I hated them instantly,
because you have somebody to go see everything with it,
I don't, Joe, And I said, I'm not sorry. I
hope you have a terrible day, hot diggity dew. We're
going to see Elf.
Speaker 6 (42:46):
But the sorry, I blurted out, I like later on.
Speaker 4 (42:50):
I was like, did I make her feel bad for
making this choice? Well, if you're so stupid that you're
gonna go see something that the reviews are out there, lady,
I'm not the one who's hurting your feelings that much.
But I did feel it was a bit of a
fuck up on my behalf. Maybe a little bit well
(43:10):
because it was blurdy. It wasn't thought. It wasn't like,
let me think of how to make fun of her.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
It was like, sorry, Yeah, is seeing Tammy Fay on
Broadway like the equivalent of someone who's like, oh my god,
I watched The Housewives on TV?
Speaker 4 (43:22):
No because it was No, because I hate reality TV.
I think it's just dumbed down America a lot and
giving us a license to be disgusting. Yeah, but no,
it's like seeing a very badly reviewed movie but paying
about five times the amount.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
Yeah. I mean, I didn't know if that's the version
of like, I know plenty of very smart, cool people
who are like, well, the Housewives are like mine, that's
my dumb show I like to watch.
Speaker 6 (43:46):
No.
Speaker 4 (43:46):
Yeah, so it's not a guilty pleasure show. No, it
was going it was supposed to be something that was
a huge hit. They they they shot for excellent and
got dog shit emoji with like the egg play and
stuck in it so that they had dick in an
ass shit.
Speaker 6 (44:03):
Yeah I should have said that to her.
Speaker 4 (44:05):
Oh my god, I heard it's like an eggplant dick
in an ass shit. I think I was a nice right,
So I think with that one, I didn't torture myself
as much because it was involuntary. If it's like someone, oh,
like when you step on someone's or when somebody steps
on your foot and you say sorry, like we've all
done that. Yeah, it's almost involuntary. We know it's not right.
(44:27):
Why am I apologizing for being stepped on? But it's
still okay, Like we blurt things all the time, it's fine.
I think the look on my face was just like, oh,
I fucked up, but I'm sure it'll be into No,
I know it's gonna suck.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
Or maybe that lady that show, God, there it goes, or.
Speaker 4 (44:49):
She said I don't know what that blue hair cut
was talking about.
Speaker 5 (44:51):
This was great, but I have a thing.
Speaker 4 (45:01):
Too, where like if she came out of that show
and said that I couldn't like her, I'm really prejudiced.
Speaker 6 (45:10):
When it comes to bad taste.
Speaker 4 (45:12):
I'm not saying I have the greatest taste, but I
at least know sort of a bar like I'll forgive.
I have two friends who are really into reality TV.
They know better than to discuss it with me. They
know I'm disgusted by it. I don't think it's good
for the world or the country. I think it's terrible.
It teaches people to behave badly. If the housewime's getting
away with it, so can I. It's not harmless, so
(45:34):
they don't know not to talk about it. But we
have a taste level that's similar. So they never will
mention a horribly bad movie and I have to hate them.
We have a friend BO who sometimes he'll mention a
horribly bad movie and I'm like, I kind of have
to hate you a little, not enough to break up
the friendship, but I don't have you to do you
have no discernment?
Speaker 6 (45:55):
Do you have no taste at all?
Speaker 4 (45:59):
That's why there's some shit I will not tell my
friends to watch because if they don't like it, they're
dead to me.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
Yeah. I was actually told Bo to watch a few
movies and they'll text me back like this kind of sucks. Yeah,
he's and the movie is like one of the ones
that I love and tell me it's okay an interview
with a vampire.
Speaker 6 (46:17):
Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
I was watching is like, this is ridiculous. Of course
it's ridicuou it's a fantasy jump and vampires in the
eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 4 (46:27):
Yeah, it wasn't supposed they weren't going for realism.
Speaker 6 (46:30):
Yeah, so weird.
Speaker 4 (46:32):
Yeah, I feel like, yeah, I would have hated her more,
and she would have deserved not just a sorry, but
like a big slap.
Speaker 2 (46:39):
You're like a stabbing.
Speaker 6 (46:40):
Yeah, and I'd be like we were elf, I'm gonna
kill you.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
Now, right, bring Faye back, dude.
Speaker 6 (46:47):
No, oh my god, I just okay.
Speaker 4 (46:50):
So we were all in agreement that Yeah, on the
cunt scale of the zero to cunt, it was maybe
a little cringe, yeah, but full blown count would have
been like, sorry, you're going to see that piece of
shit and then do like a.
Speaker 6 (47:04):
Bunch of roast jokes about it. That wouldn't have been good.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
See, I've had the benefit of having you as a friend,
so like everything I've gone to see I know is
going to be good.
Speaker 6 (47:12):
Yeah, you have no choice, but like now there's.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
A part of me that's like, I want to see
what bad looks like.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
I don't think you do, really because especially for that
kind of money.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
Well yeah, well I would have to be like a
you know, a lottery ticket or.
Speaker 4 (47:25):
Some shit like yeah, yeah, we'll tell you some badly
reviewed stuff and you can got.
Speaker 6 (47:30):
It.
Speaker 4 (47:31):
Not even a snobby thing because my taste level. Hey,
I don't understand opera. I don't understand jazz. Like there's
a lot of things I'm not smart enough to get right,
but I just know it's never I always have two
friends who are in the entertainment business that i'll call
when I don't like either a TV show or a play,
and I'll go, no, these guys are smart, And I'll go,
(47:53):
why do I hate such and such And I'll name
the movie or whatever, and they go, oh, because you
don't like dot dot dot, or they'll say because it's
just inarguably shitty. So I don't have the taste level
they have. But I also kind of think I have
some discernment. Like it's like when you know you're not gorgeous,
but you know what ugly is, like, you know, like
(48:15):
my father always is the women he idolized, he thought.
And of course they're probably the two most beautiful women
who ever lived, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. So I
never looked like either, but boy did I know that?
They sure look better than most. So I can judge
that without being that. You know, like my off Broadway
(48:39):
show could have closed early, gotten a bad review.
Speaker 6 (48:41):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (48:42):
Just because I can't make it doesn't mean I don't
know it when I see it. Yes, Sissy, anybody got
down for that?
Speaker 6 (48:55):
Sorry I'm from New Orleans?
Speaker 4 (48:57):
Still sorry, I am none.
Speaker 6 (49:00):
Yeah, I hate when people do that too.
Speaker 4 (49:02):
We have to do an episode on people who are
way over identify with like saying things correctly, Like they'll
be like van go instead of ango, or they'll be
like no, it's like that was in that movie Manhattan.
That would yell a movie and she's the pretentious ladies
going van and like no, I have to instantly hate
(49:23):
you or they uh tell you, how would you say
New Orleans if you're from there New Orleans? No, Well
you're a human. But don't they go nolens knowledge?
Speaker 6 (49:34):
Yeah? Do they do that? White people do that?
Speaker 4 (49:37):
I mean, like weird people do it. I think it's like,
let the black people say it the way they want
because like their Cajun and they bucking all are a loud,
but stop being white and trying to say things like that.
Speaker 6 (49:49):
Yeah, I don't like.
Speaker 4 (49:50):
Yelling that, doing that, saying that we better not or
else we get switch.
Speaker 6 (49:54):
You owe us an apology.
Speaker 2 (49:57):
Never. My grandmother, who is Fromans, used to go to
New Orleans all the time and she would call it
New Orleans like she would pronounce every like that she's
been Orleans. I love it there.
Speaker 4 (50:09):
And I'm like that's but you know what else's kind
of dopes hiss Italians because man and be the guy
at the restaurant. The diner isn't going to know just
a Manicotti or pointed it, like stop showing off your
dumb knowledge.
Speaker 6 (50:26):
Like I don't like all that.
Speaker 2 (50:28):
Yeah, I feel weird at a restaurant. There's like I always
go Ricotta. I'm like, we're good.
Speaker 4 (50:33):
Yeah, my sister, My sister always goes you want some MutS.
Speaker 6 (50:40):
I like the soprano Italian where it's just.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
Like you go the loops, you want some mutsuts.
Speaker 6 (50:46):
Yeah, we gotta go.
