Full Episode
They watch Taken and they're like, mom's like, dad does not have months to go look for you. I remember her saying that. I don't remember the story, but I absolutely remember her saying that. She was like, he has a business to run. He doesn't have months to go looking for you in Thailand.
Well, well, well, we're back at the infamous marble table.
I have a coaster underneath my glass. Chandler has lost the coaster war completely. I'm not even bothering to, you know, wet my whistle while I'm here. You know what? I think that is a great policy. Leave no trace. Leave no trace. That's what I want you to feel like you should do every time you exit this apartment. Campground rule, leave it better than you found it, baby.
You are three weeks away from your wedding. How's your mental state? How's your physical state? Tell us everything. Physical state, great. Feeling like I'm locked in, I just need to hold steady. I need to just keep the plane at a cruising altitude. I need nothing to go terribly wrong. I need no cystic acne to come my way. And then I think starting after this week, I will start to shelter in place.
You will. So you are going to quarantine, like I suggested. I'm going to shelter in place for sure. But yeah, after this weekend, we have one big party, you know, thing to go to this weekend. And then after that, the social engagements are going to start to die down. And it's really time for us to hunker down. I need to finish writing my vows. I'm just going into my mental state.
I'm waking up a little earlier every day, you know, feeling a little bit like stressed, like there's more and more to do. But overall, I am okay. I'm not. I mean, I don't know. What do you think? How do you think I am? because I'm like, I can't really say much more beyond the fact that I think I am okay. I think that you're doing, I think you're doing great.
I think that basically almost everything is done. I think all I's are dotted and T's are crossed. Yes. So you seem like you're doing great to me. I'm doing, I'm doing good. I just need nothing to go wrong. One thing you said, which I think will resonate.
And I think we have talked about is you're excited to, you said this when you were talking to me earlier today, you're like, I'm excited to not be worried about being like about looking my best. Like I'm just so ready for that worry to be over. Come May 3rd, May 4th, this shit is hitting the fan. Oh, let it all go. I am just so... I mean, we've had a long engagement.
We've been dating for a long time. You know, I've been pulling out all the stops for a minute here. And I'm ready to just sort of let go, let God... And yeah, I'm potentially considering dying my hair darker. Oh, OK. I'm considering cutting it in a crazy way. I've got big plans for my low maintenance look after this. Yeah, because it's been a high maintenance couple months for you.
