Chapter 1: What stories about friendship are discussed?

Chapter 2: How did a friendship end over a bill at Chili's?

14.887 - 19.032 Shayne Topp

Wow. That's crazy. Was there a question mark in there?

0

19.612 - 19.953 Shayne Topp

Yeah.

0

21.459 - 22.96 Tommy Bowe

Just a healthy hesitation, I guess.

0

35.589 - 36.049 Courtney Miller

Yeah.

0

36.089 - 38.711 Shayne Topp

Put some sauce on it. I'm here with Tommy and Courtney.

39.012 - 42.174 Shayne Topp

Hi. Hi. I would put you in my MySpace top eight.

42.554 - 42.934 Tommy Bowe

Damn.

43.215 - 43.475 Shayne Topp

Really?

43.675 - 44.676 Tommy Bowe

Yeah, I never had a MySpace, though.

Chapter 3: What happens when a best friend proposes?

355.316 - 356.497 Tommy Bowe

It sounds like he has a salary.

0

356.637 - 366.805 Shayne Topp

They were literally bullying this boy. They're 19 and 20, and he was younger than all of them. They're expecting this kid who's younger than all of them to pay for all of their meals at Chili's?

0

366.866 - 378.871 Tommy Bowe

If you're going to test someone's chivalry, which is just like, whatever, have the meal, and then see if he offers it, but be prepared to pay for yourself if you wanna do that.

0

379.091 - 397.175 Shayne Topp

Yeah, some people like to get a nice meal, and a date can be the way, but it's like, we're not about to have three people expect one person. That's crazy. When you're on a date, you wanna see how we give and take in an experience like that, but this is so, it's so weird. Spending $125 at Chili's, something is wrong.

0

400.455 - 418.482 Shayne Topp

That's also true. I mean, it's been a long time since I've eaten at Chili's. I don't know how expensive it is, but it just fully feels like, you're right, bullying. Like, this was an excuse to bully, excuse to take advantage of someone. I can't believe, I think the dad agreed just because he didn't want to deal with it. That's my theory, is he's just like, oh, God.

418.522 - 429.818 Shayne Topp

And then the sweet uncle. Cool uncle alert. Hashtag cool uncle. Cool uncle DM. Cool uncle. Copyright Inc. dot co. Very cool uncle.

429.838 - 430.519 Shayne Topp

430.539 - 432.281 Shayne Topp

All rights reserved. Rising.

432.867 - 449.263 Shayne Topp

Yeah, well, yeah, they invited him there and then expect him to pay the bill. The only time I think the expectation can be there is, I don't even know if there is a time, but unless I invited you guys, I was like, hey, come to Chili's. No, not even then.

Chapter 4: How do family dynamics affect relationships?

Chapter 5: What is the pizza to joy ratio?

256.523 - 263.989 Shayne Topp

John also cut ties with them, and we have started talking more and more, and we sometimes play Fortnite together. Anyways, the moral of the story, you think you know someone.

0

264.755 - 265.896 Tommy Bowe

They're gonna fall in love.

0

265.976 - 269.458 Shayne Topp

They're gonna fall in love now. That's so weird.

0

269.478 - 278.365 Shayne Topp

It feels like a bunch of young women learned the word chivalry for the first time and decided to test it out, like test out the old chivalry wheels.

0

278.465 - 286.491 Tommy Bowe

They're so young. They're like 18, 19, 20. It's like, these are young people. Leave those people, that's fine.

286.891 - 310.066 Shayne Topp

You're gonna make other friends. I think I recall back when I was a teenager, shitty people love to find an excuse to be shitty. That's just what it seems like it is. It's just like, oh, well, he should wanna, it's like, you guys just wanted to screw someone over. You wanted to take advantage of someone. You wanted to get a free meal. You're blaming it on this.

310.486 - 318.191 Shayne Topp

It's so confusing. It felt like all the other friends knew what the plan was, except for OP. Right, why didn't the other two let her know?

318.251 - 320.232 Tommy Bowe

Because then she could have been like, no, we're not doing that.

320.632 - 349.611 Shayne Topp

and just to try this on somebody feels so weird. Chevalry exists in terms of wanting to extend your hand or kindnesses or things as a form of politeness, but there's dynamics at play here. Not just any guy is gonna have the knowledge or the means to do these things at such a young age. This kid doesn't have a full-time job, but he's like, yeah. I got it, guys.

Chapter 6: How do financial decisions impact relationships?

474.065 - 493.485 Shayne Topp

There's a lot of comments. I'm a mom to both girls and a boy who are around your age. This is so wrong of your so-called friends and your dad. I'd be so angry if this happened to my son. At this age, everyone should pay their own way unless otherwise stated. Yeah, at that age, everyone's fucking broke. Nobody has money when they're 20.

0

494.065 - 511.569 Shayne Topp

Someone said, wow, I cannot believe your dad was fine with this situation. You did the right thing and your friends were classless. Yeah. Lastly, someone said, your friends and your dad are completely assholes. John was under no obligation to pay for anyone but himself. To assume he is going to pay for everyone is just beyond me. Glad you had the class to stay and help with the bill.

0

512.009 - 528.059 Shayne Topp

I would have told the waitress to split it four ways after those two girls walked out, then give the restaurant their information so they can be responsible for their own meals. Opie responded, I was considering many options, but my main thing was I didn't want to make a giant scene in front of someone I don't even know. Easier options first, then harder ones.

0

528.379 - 546.828 Shayne Topp

In reality, this probably would have been the smarter option. Yeah, the fact that they got up and left too. Then I'm like, I'm really like, this is, you didn't assume that he was actually going to pay. You dine and dashed. I think they effectively dine and dashed and tried to pin it on someone else.

0

547.594 - 552.338 Shayne Topp

So sad that, I mean, those friends are fortunate that OP wasn't like, okay, well now you owe my uncle money.

553.359 - 573.602 Shayne Topp

Those are the types of people at that age, or at any age, but that you do need to cut off because they're gonna get you in trouble. Right, yeah. They're going to get you in trouble. Small update. Me and John still play Fortnite and have been dabbling in Overwatch as well. It's getting serious. He's actually a very funny guy who is open about his feelings.

573.923 - 590.531 Shayne Topp

If we continue to connect this way, I may ask him to go on a proper date. Through some casual friends, I learned that Alex and Charlie think I'm overreacting and the same BS as before, that John should have wanted to impress us and that John should have had more money knowing he was going out to eat with three girls, shocker.

591.511 - 608.255 Shayne Topp

It's to expect someone to want to impress you. There may have been a reality where if a guy wants to impress you, he will offer to do things. They will go out of their way to do it. This random guy gets invited to dinner.

608.295 - 626.402 Shayne Topp

It's sad because I wonder where young people are getting their information from. I know. Because I think that type of mindset is being spread around a lot. Well, glad she got away from them. And she's playing Overwatch. With her love of her life. With the love of her life.

Chapter 7: What should you do if in-laws call you their child's best friend?

991.33 - 1010.814 Shayne Topp

And it was like, this doesn't sound like the same situation but I just don't understand how Like, that is so far from a relationship if you've been operating this entire time in your own mind and not communicating anything with the other person. There is no relationship there. Yeah. In reality and in each other's minds. Like, at all.

0

1010.874 - 1022.268 Tommy Bowe

Right. And how, like, damaging to the person who gets proposed to to be like, I thought... do I not know what a friendship looks like? You know, it's like, oh, I trusted this person, and now suddenly they're doing this. The whole thing was a lie, I guess.

0

1022.868 - 1034.342 Shayne Topp

Yeah, and blaming her for, like, how could you lead me on? Like, I'll lead you how? Point out two exact moments where this person has lead you on by being in the same room as you for extended periods of time?

0

1034.362 - 1059.264 Shayne Topp

Asking to hang out like a friend? I don't think there's any version of leading him on unless she said, I want to marry you. Like, if you propose, I will say yes. Otherwise, I'm like, no, and no point did you have this indication. Because yeah, some people don't have physical relationships. It's the physical side doesn't matter. But there's been zero discussions. They have been friends.

0

1059.845 - 1061.545 Shayne Topp

They have never claimed to be anything more.

1061.766 - 1069.409 Shayne Topp

They haven't even kissed or held hands. I'm just a little bit, I know everybody's different in their relationships, but I'm like, this guy thought straight to proposing.

1073.132 - 1075.594 Shayne Topp

Yeah. What movies is this man watching?

1075.614 - 1077.035 Shayne Topp

What movies is this man watching?

1077.436 - 1093.69 Shayne Topp

Comments, wow, this is the biggest misread I've ever heard of. I don't think your friendship will recover from this, at least for now. The best you can do is make it clear that you don't feel the same way at all. But yeah, this is a friendship killer. Someone else said, yo, he wanted to take the relationship to the next step and decided to propose to you?
