I mean, truly, I feel like 20 years before this, it would have been a different story.

It would have been a completely different story.

And I'm glad that she had an outlet of writing and was surrounded by creative people that she could work through it that way.

And John and Joan were really struggling at this time as well.

She said he had a horrible temper, like anything would set him off.

john i had better hopes for you honey or actually no i didn't because of what you said in the newspaper i still i won't forgive him yeah it's so interesting because he kind of seemed pretty obnoxious like everyone was like she was really cool he would like finish finish her sentences he kind of seems like to be honest like a star fucker in a way and was like i gotta be the loudest in the room and i gotta let you know how i feel it's annoying

I agree but like they were just connected in a way that's kind of indescribable to me you know like what that dynamic also reminds me of sorry for all like the references but um you've got male you know Meg Ryan's boyfriend who she's like with the whole time he's also a writer and he's always like yeah such a star fucker that's how it feels what's his name Greg Kinnear is that actor I'm picturing him kind of but not as attractive as Greg because he has the razz he's like cute

gregor can you hear oh i think he's so cute it's very cute the last song you guys know i love the last song he is the dad in the last song yeah yeah but not john and she really loved him but they were really struggling at this point they go to hawaii at one point sometimes because they're in california it's a quicker flight

Well, she ends up writing in the White Album and the essay in the islands.

She's setting the scene of where they are and she says, we are here on the island in the middle of the Pacific in lieu of filing for a divorce.

Do you think she was still giving her work to him to be like, I approve this or not?

He not only read it, he edited it.

Oh God, how dark.

Oh man.

I think this is how they worked out their problems was through editing each other's writing.

But that's

Kind of like beautiful in a way.

Isn't it kind of beautiful?

Like this is what I'm feeling.

Read it.
