Shannon is going to bring something up here right now that I wonder if any other people can relate to. And it involves your friendships. What's going on?

00:02:28 - 00:04:21 | Speaker 4:

I feel like I am in a lopsided friendship and what I mean by that is I tonight I'm going to have dinner Wes and I are going to have dinner with our favorite friends Justin and Dr. Matt you've heard me talk about them before they're the ones that threw a party for their stairs yes when their stairs I love them um so dinner is tonight Justin is a chef so the food is always is beyond incredible. Matt is the host of hosts. He's always making sure that the decor is on point and like, are your feet cold? I can get you a pair of slippers. Like they're just, they're just the best. And I always feel so lucky and so very spoiled when we go over to their house. Well, I told Wes last night, as we were kind of going through our weekend, I'm like, I feel like this friendship is kind of lopsided because we have never, I think ever, ever had them over to our house not even for drinks or apps and part of it is i think i'm self-conscious because i don't cook at all really i mean i can make basics but i would be so nervous to cook for justin a chef like a great chef but like we've never had them over and so i'm like it's always them having us they always want to invite us over which is so awesome but i'm feeling kind of bad and i'll always bring something like you know this mojo i'll always bring wine or champagne they love champagne i always bring champagne when we go but i'm like that still doesn't feel equal to me not that it has to no but this has been years of this and they especially love wes so like i've known i've known justin for god since before my kids were born so i've known him for a long time but now that like i'm married to wes and they love wes wes and i have gone over to their house like a dozen times but we've never had them over to ours do do you think they look at you guys as uh leeches well they're the one always inviting yeah because i think but you think

00:04:21 - 00:04:38 | Speaker 6:

i don't ever i wish i wonder if justin and matt ever sit there on the couch on a saturday night they had no plans and go be nice if wes and shannon invited us over tonight i like i have to invite them over at some point because and you're doing carry out do do any listeners i guess

00:04:38 - 00:04:44 | Speaker 4:

we could do carry out and they probably wouldn't care it's more me getting anxiety over it do any

00:04:44 - 00:04:54 | Speaker 6:

listeners have this lopsided friendships where they're always doing the entertaining and their friends are always the takers? Yeah. You're the givers. I never host

00:04:54 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 5:

people in my spot. Unless it's like just JG and Jontae. Yeah, pretty much a taker.

00:05:00 - 00:05:29 | Speaker 2:

Well, I feel like there are certain roles within your friend group. Yeah. Like you have friends who are the hosters and they throw the party. I played a role of, you know, bringing energy in the playlist. That's where I fit in. You know what I mean? Do they need the energy in the playlist? Absolutely. It all works together. Yeah. It all works together. You're the energy. Jhontae got the weed. JG got the spot. And he might do the food. Everybody pretty much bring a bottle. I'm bringing the vibes and the aux. They buy you drive. I kind of like that.

00:05:29 - 00:05:34 | Speaker 3:

Can I tell you what is anxiety-filled? Oh, we're going to dial. Will they answer the phone?

00:05:34 - 00:05:35 | Speaker 1:

Yeah, Justin, we can call.

00:05:35 - 00:05:39 | Speaker 3:

All right, again, I'm an awkward phone dialer, so just so you know that.

00:05:39 - 00:05:41 | Speaker 1:

You don't have to call him. I'm just saying he's listening.

00:05:41 - 00:05:51 | Speaker 3:

No, I would love to. I do want to have them on, and I'm going to tell you the biggest reason I want to have them on, because I want to discuss ... Lydia, are you trying to dial somebody's line?

00:05:51 - 00:05:53 | Speaker 1:

Yeah, I was just calling a texter. Sorry.

00:05:53 - 00:06:00 | Speaker 3:

Oh, okay. No. For some reason, though, in the phone system here, if I pick a line to dial on, and Lydia chooses it in the other room, it overrides me.

00:06:01 - 00:06:04 | Speaker 2:

I have a

00:06:04 - 00:06:14 | Speaker 3:

reason to bring this up. He's already in our system. I like it. Justin's already in. Shannon's friend, Justin. Hello. Hi, Justin. How are you?

00:06:15 - 00:06:16 | Speaker 2:

Hi, how's it going? Good.

00:06:16 - 00:06:22 | Speaker 3:

I was wondering what your plans are this weekend. Shannon and Wes are coming over.

00:06:24 - 00:06:26 | Speaker 2:

What are we cooking? Justin, do you feel

00:06:26 - 00:06:41 | Speaker 3:

like this is an unfair friendship like an unbalanced lopsided friendship that you always have us over and you cook these beautiful meals but we've never had you over no i love we love entertaining so

00:06:41 - 00:06:45 | Speaker 1:

you know what the toughest you would also not want to eat my food

00:06:45 - 00:06:57 | Speaker 3:

i don't know i wouldn't mind you know in all fairness this is what the man does too right He is an incredible chef

00:06:57 - 00:06:58 | Speaker 1:

An amazing chef

00:06:58 - 00:06:59 | Speaker 3:

Justin can I tell you

00:06:59 - 00:07:04 | Speaker 2:

We have a good menu plan for tonight

00:07:04 - 00:07:05 | Speaker 3:

What is the plan?

00:07:06 - 00:07:18 | Speaker 1:

We're going to have lamb chops We've got grilled sausage And then some polenta What is polenta? It's like grits Fancy grits

00:07:18 - 00:08:06 | Speaker 3:

It looks like You're eating you know it's it's i always feel like when i when i see the polenta there i get all excited and i'm like it's mashed potatoes unfortunately it's not mashed potatoes uh can i justin right can i bring something up that i think that there's a struggle in most people's relationships and there's a commonality to this having gay friends is tough why because gay friends are very giving they are very, they are very talented and they do things over the top. And unfortunately, the heterosexuals don't necessarily do a very good job of that. I just want you to know. And so, so, so there becomes a little bit of a problem with this. Like it does, it's anxiety filled. If you

00:08:06 - 00:08:30 | Speaker 1:

have, you know, friends that are gay, even Justin is so good about dropping off. Like He'll make, he does homemade candies and homemade, like, pastries and breads. And he'll be like, are you home? Knock, knock. I'm coming by to drop off some stuff. And how many times do I even invite you in? Sometimes I'm like, oh, my God, the house is a mess. The dogs are all over. The kids are. So I just talk to him on my front porch. Yep. That is so funny.

00:08:31 - 00:08:39 | Speaker 3:

So I never think, by the way, if I'm having a party, of flowers. But gay men and gay women think of flowers. Perfect.

00:08:39 - 00:08:43 | Speaker 1:

Like actual arrangements and candles and...

00:08:43 - 00:08:46 | Speaker 2:

Flowers do add something different to the house. Yeah.

00:08:47 - 00:08:50 | Speaker 3:

You need to have a party and show us. Nah, I don't.

00:08:50 - 00:08:59 | Speaker 2:

Anna might come over tomorrow, though, before our event. Oh, really? I'll bring flowers. All right, for sure. Just the two of you guys? Can you just make sure that your girl cleans before I come over?

00:08:59 - 00:09:06 | Speaker 3:

Only the two of us have the event. You guys, they're doing an event together tomorrow, Justin, to lend itself more to the fact that they're effing.

00:09:07 - 00:09:16 | Speaker 2:

Well, we didn't book ourselves. Where are you guys at tomorrow? We're going to be at Greektown. Yeah, Hollywood Greektown Casino. Open it up, and we'll be out there having a good time.

00:09:17 - 00:09:22 | Speaker 3:

And you're going to meet beforehand for what? To, like, prep your night? To carpool. To carpool.

00:09:22 - 00:09:25 | Speaker 2:

You live closer to Greektown than he does.

00:09:26 - 00:09:42 | Speaker 3:

Oh, my God. This is, by the way, I would like a war of the roses. Let's see where we'll send a dozen free roses here. Hold on a second, Justin. And we've got some listeners here that want to comment on Shannon being a bad friend to you, you and Matt. What's up, Andrea? How you doing?

00:09:44 - 00:09:44 | Speaker 1:

Good, how are you?

00:09:45 - 00:09:46 | Speaker 3:

Good, what's going on?

00:09:47 - 00:10:00 | Speaker 1:

Good. I just, I don't agree that it's a gay friend thing versus a heterosexual person thing. I think some people just love to serve and it's like their favorite thing to do. I love hosting people and having them all.

00:10:00 - 00:10:05 | Speaker 7:

and they never think, oh, my friends suck because they don't do the same. Some just like to do it.

00:10:06 - 00:10:11 | Speaker 5:

So you never judge them on the fact that they're mooching off of you?

00:10:12 - 00:10:21 | Speaker 7:

No, no, because it's my favorite thing to do. I have people over, serve them food and drink, and I love to cook, and some people don't. I love friends like that.

00:10:21 - 00:10:39 | Speaker 5:

I'd be honest with you, though. I would bet, though, a majority of people would have it in the back of their mind of are they ever going to invite us out you know what i mean we go out yeah like we'll go out to dinner a lot who pays when you go out oh justin who pays do we split it or we go back i think

00:10:39 - 00:10:44 | Speaker 6:

west usually kind of you know sneaks it okay because that's a good way to give back yeah

00:10:44 - 00:10:49 | Speaker 5:

like that's a really good way to give back what's going on carrie how you doing good morning i'm

00:10:49 - 00:11:00 | Speaker 1:

doing great i just wanted to say to shannon the easiest solution is just to have a pizza night and invite them over. Pizza's great for everyone. Easy peasy.

00:11:00 - 00:11:04 | Speaker 3:

You just heard what this man is making, lamb chops. And I'm going to be like, we're having

00:11:04 - 00:11:07 | Speaker 7:

a hungry house. We like pizza.

00:11:07 - 00:11:12 | Speaker 1:

We like pizza, too. Find a nice place with something different.

00:11:13 - 00:11:24 | Speaker 6:

Just make sure you install the brick oven first. Shannon, that was one of our options tonight. We were going to make pizza because we have one of those uni ovens. Of course.

00:11:24 - 00:11:30 | Speaker 5:

hey by the way Justin, Chelsea and I are great people to be friends with

00:11:30 - 00:11:34 | Speaker 2:

and they're free tonight and

00:11:34 - 00:11:44 | Speaker 5:

we might have some people over on Saturday night if you guys would like to join us but maybe cancel on your prior plans, what's up Hannah?

00:11:45 - 00:12:16 | Speaker 8:

Hi, good morning everyone I wanted to call because I'm also the hosting friend and when I host Like I've, I've smoked a brisket before I've made like a brave ragu. I like do focaccia. I make everything from scratch and I do it for two reasons. One, because like I'm Latina, we spread love and community through food. And the second one, I love curating how I get my compliment. So it's like, I don't know, it's like a dopamine hit whenever someone says my food is so good. So that's why I do it. But I love sharing like the vibes in the community. I think it's awesome.

00:12:17 - 00:12:21 | Speaker 5:

That is honestly, that sounds wonderful. What are you doing tonight?

00:12:22 - 00:12:25 | Speaker 7:
