No, that's fine, that's totally fine. I 54 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.960 thought this was kind of cool. So it's a picture 55 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.520 of a man and a woman, not dating, not dating. 56 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:35.280 They're not boyfriend girlfriend, hooking up, getting laid, touching the chauna, 57 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.439 none of that. They appear to be at a concert. 58 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.439 I'm going to assume it's an Iron Maiden concert because 59 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:46.439 of the T shirts they're wearing. I met my internet 60 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.560 friend today for the very first time. We started chatting 61 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:55.280 online in two thousand and one when we were both sixteen. Wow, 62 00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.800 that would make them forty and there they together like 63 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:02.879 at that at a Maiden show. 64 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.560 I saw this. This is the show in Helsinkia, just 65 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:08.240 from the other night. 66 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:10.479 Is it off brand for me to say that? I 67 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.479 think that's kind of cool? Yes, Diya? Why is that 68 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:14.159 off brand? 69 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:16.199 I just think it is for you. 70 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.879 I've never had Now I will say I don't have 71 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.719 an internet friend. I never had an internet friend. I 72 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:27.759 had other friends, but I never had But again, it's 73 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.680 not just from dating. I'm not talking about dating apps. 74 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.919 Like these two people met just chatting online. 75 00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:35.960 It wasn't it a system of a down chat room. 76 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:40.919 I believe you're right, but like, take the take take Shanna. 77 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:43.159 I think she said that was her name. She was 78 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:43.639 all like. 79 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:45.680 No, but then she thought about it. 80 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.879 He was like, oh, my xbox buddy for ten years. 81 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:51.319 For ten years, she's had that friend. 82 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.479 Now did the poster who I believe was the mail 83 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.080 and the photo correct? I think Thomas was his name, 84 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:03.199 I believe. So did he say where? At this point 85 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.280 they must know where each other lives? If they met 86 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.560 up in Finland? Did he say where they live? I 87 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:10.240 didn't see that. 88 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.560 If if he did, I didn't. I didn't either a 89 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:17.560 see it or committed to memory. But like I was 90 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.639 reading about another people, So now I got involved. 91 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:23.639 Right, Oh, he did say where? Said they are usually 92 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:30.199 fifty five hundred miles apart. There you go, So what's 93 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.319 fifty five hundred miles from DC SoC Russia? 94 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:39.680 Oh my god, so my best friend is in Russia. 95 00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:41.439 You just don't know it yet. 96 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:46.279 Hey, Alex, No, Alex doesn't know it yet. That's true. No, No, 97 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.800 there's another one. Here you go. I met my best 98 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.600 friend on a chat laun a chat group for the 99 00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:56.639 cure back in nineteen ninety six, so it was like 100 00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.480 a fan page. Right, I'm in the US, they're in 101 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:06.879 New Zealand. We met in Vancouver. That's cool. 102 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.160 Wow, By the way, that's farther than fifty five Miles. 103 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:14.399 But am I saying that's cool? Completely out of brand? 104 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.439 Is it because you like all the music tie in 105 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:16.920 so far? 106 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.040 No? No, not at all, because then I was reading 107 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.199 about another guy. I was reading about another guy. Half 108 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.040 of my raiding guild, which you know is some like 109 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:30.079 what I'm gonna play my plus five dorkazoid card. 110 00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:33.319 Well, no, those people aren't going to call in. 111 00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.240 Half of my raiding guild of the last ten years 112 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:38.560 is coming to my wedding in August. 113 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:39.560 Whoa wedding. 114 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.920 I've never met them before. What this will be the 115 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:45.839 first time. 116 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.199 You're paying for them to be at your wedding. 117 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.399 They've been friends for ten years? 118 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:50.720 Wow? 119 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.279 Ten years? And they but again they've been friends for 120 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:56.800 ten years. It's all the same. But you know what's weird? 121 00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.319 Then this is the part that struck me, like every 122 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:01.879 so often, like now that the boys are home from school, 123 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.360 well one of them is home from school, Like we'll 124 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:06.639 go down in the basement and play like MLB the 125 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.120 show and it'll be the two of us against two 126 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:16.199 dicks online. Okay, Like we don't communicate with them, and 127 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.600 so and maybe we're maybe we're the anomaly. We don't 128 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:21.519 communicate with them. I would never try to hunt them 129 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:22.800 down and go like, you know what, that was a 130 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:24.240 good game, let's play them again. 131 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.120 Is it because your parents don't let you or are 132 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:27.959 you not my kids? 133 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:37.920 So? Yeah, like I'll play online against people, not just 134 00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:39.680 with my kid, but i'll play on I'll play cell 135 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.959 against people, but I don't try to strike up a friendship. 136 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:47.959 Yeah, how old was the cure one? I know you 137 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:49.759 said the year, but did you say how old they 138 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:50.480 were when they met? 139 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.519 No? I don't that. I don't have so do you. 140 00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:54.360 Only have the age for the Iron Maiden fans? 141 00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:57.560 It just says that they started in two thousand and 142 00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:00.399 one and now they're forty. But yeah, the like the 143 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:06.160 the guild that's coming, they bring my guild for ten years, 144 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:07.959 they're coming to my wedding. 145 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:12.600 Is it a themed wedding, because I guess that would 146 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:13.040 make sense. 147 00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:16.839 No, it's a regular wedding. It's a regular wedding. Like 148 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.319 if you invited some people from work, are you going 149 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:21.720 to set the wedding up to be like it's your work? No, 150 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:24.279 this is a regular wedding. 151 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:29.240 I mean I wouldn't know. Neither neither would Diane. But 152 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.279 is that what Haley did was it themed out like 153 00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:33.879 the fourth floor? 154 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:37.759 So no that you don't have to theme it out 155 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:41.680 just because they're in your guild. I don't think for 156 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.079 the well, this one isn't a wedding, but the people 157 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:47.879 that met in a cure Chat group, they're probably not 158 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.600 doing like a Robert Smith themed wedding. Now there isn't 159 00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:52.439 a wedding. By the way, Will you do me a favor, 160 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:55.800 will you write down wedding? Please just write down wedding. 161 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.000 I'll know what it means. Actually, don't write down wedding, 162 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:05.839 just right down wedding.
