Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with My Mac's Rewards.

Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod.

What's Fiancé's errands? Fiancé errands birthday today.

Happy birthday errands. 42.

Greg Grover from Nova. Greg Grover from Nova turns 42 today.

Not much planned, hanging out with the parents, going out for dinner.

And then my birthday on Sunday, 34.

Yeah, a bit of an age gap there. Yeah.

It's hot now, but it wasn't hot when he was 18.

That was hard to explain.

Yeah, we talked about it. Yeah, we did talk about that.

That was probably not appropriate.

I'm just kidding.

Because how old were you when you met him?

I was 21. He was 29.

Yeah, right? Yeah.

Right.

I think you wouldn't know him better by that age.

What? Me?

For him?

No, it would have known better than to get into cohorts with the likes of you.

How do you?

I was wondering why you didn't take immediate things for that.

I thought he was going to marry me.

It all worked out quite well.

But anyway, in the day between the 7th, which actually happens to be my brother's birthday,

but that's besides the fact, we're going to all congregate at the pub near our house.

You two are invited.

A joint birthday shindig.

Joint birthday shindig, but we're keeping it very small.

Not all my friends are invited because I'm trying to mix the right friends.

Oh, there's an art to this.

Because, you know, Fletch, you and Vaughn obviously have your own special long relationship,

but a lot of your friends are one group.

Yeah.

And each weekend, it's like they're all getting together.

Well, we make it easy for ourselves, don't we?

I know.

I've got so many different groups of friends that it's so strange to try to get the right

mix together.

Because there's you guys, there's you guys as my just my work colleagues.

Purely professional acquaintances.

I just want a professional presence there.

We're really trying to force this friendship.

Yeah.

So that's you guys, but then you split off into your own groups because Fletch with you,

the gays are coming.

And so they've become my friends through you and then Vaughn through you,

our cabinet makers are coming, who have become our friends.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing Jake, a very heterosexual carpenter with gays.

Quiet.

He's very quiet.

Okay.

He's a very great listener.

We just speak funny man, interacting with the loud giggly giggly gays.

Yeah.

But that's why I'm trying to create bridges, right?

Because like you guys are a bridge to the gays.

We're a bridge to Terabithia and the gays.

Vaughn, you're a bridge for our friend Jake into the gays because you're also part of

the gays group.

Yeah.

And then Aaron's there sort of as a bridge.

He's with the gays.

He's fun about it.

I haven't had to touch a single cock.

Yeah.

It's amazing.

Yeah.

You haven't touched it.

I mean, I haven't touched a bunch.

But yeah.

It's a one way straight.

I haven't had to touch a much.

And Shade will love, I feel like she's due to cut loose.

So Shade, but Shade bridges between her family and you and I flinch.

Because she's more of a you and I than she is a Vaughn in terms of how she likes to.

Yeah.

And her daughters have very well told her that she shunned her.

I'm not this week.

I'm trying to cut back because I believe my lower back pain could be kidney cancer.

But which I didn't even know was a symptom until I watched God damn John Oliver this

week.

And that probably is a symptom of kidney.

No.

It'll just be inflammation.

All right.

It'll be fine.

So I haven't been drinking this week, but I'll have a drink most nights.

But Shade won't.

But in the girls minds, Shade drinks far more than I do.

She gets every now and then once in a blue moon.

She'll get plastered.

Yeah.

So those are the sort of bridges.

And then I've got my comedian friends.

I've only invited one comedian friend.

Okay.

Is it the funniest one?

Justine Smith.

Arguably up there for sure.

And now so she and her husband, Dan, they're coming.

I've never hung out with them, but I know that they are also Disney Star Wars people.

So Dan has a room in his house.

It is just Star Wars.

Oh, there you go.

He can sit with Vaughn.

Yeah.

And Aaron's kind of bridging there.

Yeah.

And then the cabinet makers with them and then the gays all at the end with Shade.

Leon Cabnets.

I might need some cabinets one day.

So there's another bridge is those who need of a cabinet.

Yeah.

And then there's my friend Leon who you kind of know.

Yes, from the gym.

Yeah.

And he's a gay.

So he could get in with the gays.

But does he want to hang out with the cabinet makers in the Star Wars nerds?

He's an actor, but he's not.

He's an actor, but we've also got our actor friends, you know, our couple friends.

Tim and Ty.

Yeah.

They're the bridge between Leon.

So Leon gay with the gays and the actors.

The actors.

Yeah.

So everybody fits into at least two camps.

I feel like we do need a seating chart though.

Because what if a gays sits in between the cabinet makers and the Star Wars people?

No, this is what you're supposed to do at a party.

You're supposed to surround yourself with people with different...

No, ideally for me, I have curated this group so that everyone...

So I'm not babysitting anyone and everyone can make...

You can see why...

Go with the two bridges.

You can see why it's only us invited to a wedding now.

Imagine the seating arrangement for all of these people and all of these groups.

I know.

This is about a mess.

Planning seating for a wedding is a fucking nightmare.

I can imagine.

It'll be fine.

And then Shadea's parents separated and I was like, fuck.

Oh no.

They're great now, but when we got married, it wasn't great.

They're fantastic now though, like friends again.

Yeah, of course.

It was that time.

It was just like shit.

And then just juggling everybody.

It's way harder than I thought and I was inviting everyone that got along.

It's real art though to inviting people because you invite the wrong couple of people and...

Totally, so one of my closest friends, I just couldn't find a bridge for him.

So he's not coming.

I just didn't invite him.

Yeah, right.

Because I couldn't find a bridge.

Why does he do it?

I could bridge.

Sort of a poverty...

No, my man.

Fuck that.

No, I'm not listening to someone speaking automatic.

What is that?

No marching friends invited.

I couldn't find them a bridge.

Yeah, good.

Fletch does love North Korea and they are very pro-marching.

He could have been the bridge.

Slightly different.

Oh well, you know, me say tomato, you say potato.

I don't know.

What do you say?

Slightly different.
