Grrrr. That story about the tent was the romance novel version of events. I can almost guarantee it didn’t happen in the way described. As a hypothetical for discussion, it’s fine, I guess. But for example, he drank a bottle of vodka and then she drew the line at the beer chaser? Adding a beer would probably lower his total alcohol concentration! That’s almost troll-worthy right off the bat. Then she quietly and politely packed her things…like no woman EVER! A woman packing her things into a bag is like a Yogi Berra breaking in a new catcher’s mitt. Just sayin’, if it is even almost true, the reality is way more passive aggressive. And then, if my best gal says she’s heading off into the woods I may very well restrain the hysterical lady. So, I’m not even convinced that some line was crossed as much as she wants to use these lines as leverage against him. Then she portrays it as her screaming to stop as if that makes it more violent, maybe it makes her that much more crazy. So, since we as society don’t want to deal with crazy passive aggressiveness and complicated relationships, we just say “you have to leave him because he crossed a line.” Grrr.
Last couple of hours at work on Friday, time to listen to the Thursday gang…
I’ve noticed from your comments that you tend to be speculative and like to stretch your imagination. It seems pretty strange for you to make assumptions that this person is lying about something that happened to her.
Just noticed that Sam is about 3 shows away from taking over.
Very good episode. I laughed out loud multiple times. I shop a lot like #Al. I get in and out as fast a possible. I’ve bought body wash while meaning to buy shampoo more than once…
The sister slut story was quite the dilemma. I thought commenter Andrew was about to call this one out as BS. I think Greg’s advice to put the onus on the male fiancé was inspired. It’s dogs like him that give us men a bad name. I’ve got news for that listener’s sister: that guy has 1 or 2 other “soul mates”.
She is not yet stealing the show, but has succeeded in stealing 1/3 of the group photo participants. Her smiling face would make me melt into my shoes, as well.
