everywhere else looked wet i think the sprinklers came on or something it's totally fine thanks paul right um yeah best man that's right jessie nice to meet you too what uh side of the family you say you were on with why i didn't oh and not well i mean i guess technically the brights i came as a plus one with my friend karen and it's her second cousin niece got it you have no idea who i'm talking about nope great perfect because it doesn't matter at all basically i came as a plus one with karen your friend yes and now i can't find her and i don't know anyone else at this thing hence my retreating to this little hideaway i can't blame you what's your excuse for for sneaking away from the masses don't you have best man duties or those all done done those are done um i just wanted to take a little breather you know yeah i'm sort of in the opposite position you're in which is i know too many people here yeah i i imagine that could get a little overwhelming wow i told myself that i was gonna be social and uh meet people but then i just you know i end up just staring at my phone seriously like any time there is a a moment of silence i just go straight for my phone it's actually terrible i have a problem yeah i know what you mean oh look at you you haven't checked your phone once since i sat down how is that possible uh yeah i'm trying to be better about it for you and my phone died like 20 minutes ago oh my god are you just an agony i'm dying i bet yeah you have no idea i can't believe you're still with us it's a miracle i use the last of my battery getting over here so all right talking to someone's aunt she was uh she was sweet i shouldn't but you know okay how'd you get out of it i did a fake phone call yes yes you did it's actually terrible like how premeditated it was tell me so first i went to my alarm awful i said it for one minute and uh then i you know answered yeah your alarm yeah wow that is very impressive i i'm really good at it you know i i think i'm gonna have to see this ah yeah come on show me on my dead phone it's even more of a challenge all right okay so uh you and i are talking yeah we have so uh what are we talking about traffic traffic that's good traffic on the on the 101. oh terrible awful the worst it was a parking lot it really was and you know what i purposely took the 101. well you know what instead of the phone just one sec this is so weird that he's even calling me right now hello yeah i'm at the wedding still i don't know like 11. yeah yeah right hey can you hear me yeah i can hear you can you hear me yeah hold on sorry yeah let me just see if i can wow right yeah you are a very good liar paul thank you ugh i'm sorry what i was gonna could you just tell me your name one more time jesse jesse or jess that's easier i i don't want you to hurt yourself and you know what it's really bad please oh come on give me a break who cares i think you remember anyone else's name in this thing actually there was a guy named gene and gene told me he liked the way i was put together wow yeah it was as weird as it sounds you like the way you're okay well thank you jesse for being understanding well you know what you just showed that you can go from being completely full of [ __ ] to totally honest in just a matter of moments so i'm impressed thank you i liked your speech thank you yeah yeah it was nice thanks i feel like that's gotta be hard right trying to figure out what to say uh yeah yeah i feel like i would try to be too funny oh no yeah you can't no you can't do that that's the worst yeah exactly that's what i would i would be that girl who just speaks directly to the bride the whole time and only recalls inside jokes and everyone just laughs when she laughs because they have no idea what you're talking about yeah terrible you you were good though thank you and what was the little part at the end you know you said you said something about about dancing oh right yeah you know you said uh you said he finally found someone to dance with oh it was just like a inside thing oh yeah but you can't do that nothing inside right you have to share it with the rest of the class it's not even honestly like it's not okay so he's been my best friend since i can since i can remember when man when we were younger don't even know where to like be get okay wow spit it out okay so believe it or not i went through sort of an awkward phase in high school i refuse to believe that it's shocking i know i wasn't always this confident and put together what gene would be so disappointed where is gene hopefully he left i was very shy that's what i'm trying to say and uh so the first there was the dance homecoming dance was the first dance of the year you know and there was no way i was gonna ask anybody and uh he told me that it's better to go stag that way you're not tied down to anyone oh okay all right so he didn't ask anyone either and he picked me up and we went to the dance him and i and um standing there with me and we're making fun of all the couples and we're talking about how much better off we are and um i mean this is over like he never had trouble with girls ever he could have been with anybody and i'd i'd watch these girls come up to him at the dance they'd sort of talk for a second and then they would leave i i couldn't hear what they were saying over the music and it kept happening like this tap on the shoulder or whisper something in his ear and he'd sort of shake his head and then they would walk away and then he'd lean over to me and say i can't even find anybody to dance with yeah me too he didn't want to leave you alone we finally found someone to dance that's funny yeah i thought so good friend hmm you can stay a wallflower forever though right and some girl came along and turned you into the best man i see before me wow yeah no surprisingly enough eventually there was a girl first love and the the whole deal god is that first i'm just the best hmm it's funny she's here actually you're your ex of course she is well where which one show me you see the one in the white dress yeah wait wait what your best friend married your ex-girlfriend girlfriend okay yeah wait i know it sounds like it would be weird but it's actually really weird yeah i i i i i have so many questions i bet like when did they start dating like how long after you guys broke up and how long were you together sorry no it's okay um okay wait so um six months ago right away and five years ah this is insane yeah i don't know it's just like one of those things just sort of happened for them i guess like right after us i mean probably before the end of us but it's uh fine how are you okay ah i mean are you okay yeah yeah i mean because this is just it's wow this is weird and i feel like you you could let yourself just not feel okay about it just for a minute at their wedding yeah no i know sorry i'm i i'm invested i'm just too invested no no i know it's weird it's weird say it okay you wanna know what the weirdest part is yeah i really do please tell me okay we had conversations about tonight her and i about your wedding yeah but like really specific like what it would look like and what she'd be wearing and the music and this is it i mean that's the dress so i'm sitting here and for like a split second i'll forget that this isn't mine and that she isn't and that this is just like our amazing wedding and then i'll see them dancing together and i'm like who the [ __ ] is that guy your best friend they do make a really cute couple though right yeah like so adorable i mean i don't see you guys together at all really yeah no i mean wow what do i know but i'm sure she's very nice i'm sure she's lovely but i just i i see you with some you know

same um we get along exactly it does not mean that we're flirting no no flirting is it that's a whole that's a whole when i'm when i'm flirting it's much more charming there's a great deal of natural
