Transcript

Hey! How was work? It was good? Oh, that's great, that's great.

Yeah, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I have that. Um, okay, okay, okay, okay. I know you don't like surprises, but it has to be said now.

Do you want the good news or bad news? Let's just start there. Okay, I'm gonna do the good news.

Okay, I'm gonna do the good news. Um, holidays are coming up. That's exciting.

That's always exciting. You know, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Kwanzaa, even though we don't, you know, celebrate it, but you know, it's coming. Um, okay, bad news, bad news, bad news, okay.

I'm sorry, babe. I'm sorry. Um, you know I love ya.

You know I love you to bits. I love ya. Um, I just want, I just want you to be comfortable.

So, okay, okay, I'm sorry. I'm stalling. Yes, I am stalling.

Yes, I am. Um, but anyway, um, so you know, the holidays comes with family, um, and I, I, I know you don't like my mom. I know you don't, but she's coming.

Just don't start a fight, okay? Just don't, don't yell at me, please. I'm sensitive, please.

Don't yell. I don't like it when you yell. Makes me nervous, okay? Um, but yeah, she's coming and so is her boyfriend.

I know they've been together for like nine years and he still hasn't proposed, but yeah, um, that part. Um, but your parents are coming too, so it's only fair, right? I already know I'm right.

You just, just agree with me. Thank you. I love when you agree with me.

Yeah, um, so, babe, I know, but we're also gonna be together. We're gonna put up the tree together. We're gonna eat together.

Hopefully nothing too political happens. I know how your family gets, okay? Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, because you know what happened last year? Uncle Joe, he started getting, you know, a little, a little, a little raunchy at the table, a little raunchy and it was, it was a little unsettling.

I love Uncle Joe too. I love his little jokes, but you know how they get. Okay, my Aunt Meredith, she's not that much better, but come on.

Uncle Joe and the little dog joke he did, you know, you know, the dog joke. Don't act dumb. Don't act dumb.

I love him though. Love him to bits. God rest his heart.

He's not dead, but you know, anyway, um, but yeah, mom is coming and she's making that good old peach cobbler you like. Okay, I know you hate it, but laugh a little. Come on.

I'm, I'm trying to lighten up. Look, okay, look, I'm sorry. Last minute, I literally just got off the phone with her right when you walked in the door.

Okay. Um, this is new to me, new to you. So it's not like I'm holding it back from you.

I'm not lying. Okay. Um, we can make the best of it.

We still have what? Another month till she comes. Okay.

Let's have the, let's have, you know, fun for the rest of the month. Okay. Let's maybe clean the house a little bit.

Okay. Yeah. She had that talk with me again.

She does not like our drapes. We need to change the drapes. Okay.

We had them, we had them for a bit. Now we had them for a while. Maybe she's right.

Maybe we should change it out. Yeah. I'm kind of tired of the plain old black ones.

Maybe we should get, I don't know, beige. What do you think? Beige? Okay.

I'm sorry. I'm trying to change the subject because you look really mad at me. Look, okay.

I know you don't like my mom, but we can get through this together. Do you want to get through it together? Do you want to like hold hands? Come on.

Let's, let's sit. Let's sit down. Let's sit down.

Come on. Okay. Look, babe, I love you and I love the holidays with you.

I love our traditions, our little family talks. I love everything. I love spending time with you and spending time with me.

Maybe sometimes includes my mom sometimes. And I'm sorry about that. I'm sorry.

I have a mother. Um, she's not the best, but she's a mom and she wants to see me and I want her to see us, see our dynamics, see our love. I want her to see my life with you and I hope you're not too mad.

Are you mad? Well, can you be a little less mad, please? I would appreciate it.

Can you just try to not fight her? It'd be really awkward if you start fighting while we haven't even cut the turkey yet. It'd be a little embarrassing for me.

I'm not going to lie. Thanks, babe. I love you.

Okay. Mwah. Mwah.

Mwah. One more. Mwah.

Okay, good. Can we start looking for new trapes? My mom's annoying me with the new trape thing.

I'm sorry.
