Chapter 1: What Christmas memories do the hosts have?
Did it peak?
No. She's good.
She is good. What? I'll give her that. She's on top of it. So everyone's familiar with the Irish goodbye. I am starting this new thing called the Irish arrive. Okay. It's where you show up on invite.
That's what my mom thought it was going to be.
Or she said, yeah, she was like, you show up without telling anyone. It's the opposite of that. It's when you have plans, and it doesn't work for one-on-one plans or even groups of three. It has to be plans where maybe you could go unnoticed. You just don't show up, and you don't tell anyone you're not coming. And it's the greatest feeling in the world.
Okay.
Wait, that's... What? Bailing on plans without telling anyone. Everyone hates that guy. The Irish arrive. That's a fun spin on it. I don't think that's good. Because bailing is boring. They're like, oh, Jack Irish arrived. Yeah. Yeah.
um i had something on saturday and i just got tired and i just went home and i didn't i didn't go and i didn't tell anyone what was the thing it's a friend's birthday party but but this makes you a piece of shit i went i went mini golfing with him right before it so it was like i got wait you're telling me i didn't get invited to joe's birthday party yeah yeah well closer than that it actually it was at it was like a four-way birthday joe who
Sam's friend. That's fine. It was like a four-way birthday and it was at two other guys' houses that you haven't met. Alright, I can live with that then. Wait, did I ever tell you about how I've mastered the Irish goodbye?

They built a rope swing and Lauren killed herself.
No, we just, in the corner of our yard, we had a big tree and we just made a huge... Swing and a miss.
No pun intended.
Yeah.
Ooh, what else do we got to talk about?
Never mind.
Isn't that what happened? It was stupid.
Oh. No, she fell. What? It's not that dark.
That whole book is super dark. It's all about grief, isn't it?

That, oh, Lauren's doing fun lip gloss. Every time I look over, it's like a new thing. Every time we look over, you look a new thing. How did you even get that out that quickly?
I had it. I just have to do this.
It's like part of... Glad she's on top of it.
I'm listening. I'm in the conversation.
She's gristling. All right, let's go.
Go, go, go. The girl in your apartment.
She has one headphone in and is doing her makeup.
